It’s not particularly new (except to me) or that shiny… but I got a new gfx card today. I bought it mainly for the nv remove background functionality and because it will be much faster at other tasks too! I am only about 5 years behind the times at least, rather than the 10 I normally am…

3070? I remember receiving boxes of these which were delegated to prebuild systems.

These were screamers, up there with the two slot 3090 blower from gigabyte 🫠

  I’ve got one of these RTX 3080. Built for datacenters I think, resold from miners. Sounds like frigging hairdryer when that turbofan goes.

  Progress on performance gains has pushed up on the limits of known architectures. Each iteration offers minor incremental gains, if any. Newly released products are more about the company needing the money to operate than having a worthy new worthy product that should replace the old obsolete models of yesteryear.

  bought to use the background removal tool instead of a green screen. Play the odd game too and other uses for the RT and Tensor cores.
