Is AV1 encoding of no interest? I can definitely use it for OBS recording streaming TV to watch later.

Also, having an old graphics, long before RT and tensor core, due going years without buying a game because no good first-person single player campaign, I’m only now needing more VRAM. I don’t buy a video card every 3 years because the games I have don’t push its limits.

Looking at Unreal 5.2, I would say in 3 years it will be normal for a graphics card to have 16GB. I’m talking about a dedicated PC release, not a PC port.

One upside, the 4060 is the new $250 1060, I would call the 4060 a good buy. In today’s money, the 1060 is $316 USD so a $300 4060 seems like a good buy.

der8auer only saw a minor decrease on PCI-E 3.0 board. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=uU5jYCgnT7s

Remember when the 1080 Ti was $700?

I wanted that but I couldn’t afford it, then the prices went up for Turing. Apparently the 4060 Ti beats the 1080 Ti, I’m going to buy the 4060. I’ve never owned something with 8GB.

It could also be that with nVidia making billions from AI computing, it doesn’t hurt them if graphics cards don’t sell because they own the market anyways, it doesn’t matter. If Radeon sales increase but they still make billions from the enterprise, it still doesn’t matter. And Intel doesn’t exist in that space.

Given that nVidia is a trillion dollar company even with Ada Lovelace not selling, the company is not being affected. Why sell an $800 card when they can sell a $5000 card?

Gamers need to accept that if gaming GPU’s don’t sell yet the company has billions of dollars coming in, they have no reason to listen or care about gamers. I strongly condemn nVidia’s corporatist attitude, but gamers have to either pay nVidia prices or buy from a different company while nVidia continues to get richer without gamers.

Zero. I do not tip anywhere, regardless of good service which is their job to do, and for bad service I do not go back again.

Debian stable is irrelevent or pointless. Only Debian testing branch is worth something.

For your hardware setup, I would suggest prioritizing good nVidia driver support over everything. A few distributions do not make the nVidia driver natively available for installation. I expect your Ryzen to be natively supported with 6.1 or 6.2 kernel, but test to see who has the latest nVidia driver to install and thrn decide from there.

With a BIOS update for the motherboard, does it support 9th gen?
