they're giving away geforce now codes with the super-deluxe brand new graphics cards? isn't that the product that you buy if you want to stream games to your lovely computer from nvidia's servers? ie, not what you would do if you had just bought the latest graphics card?

it rules how GPUs are now like real estate where a real good that can be used to perform a function has become totally financialized so big institutional money is snapping up all of it and mere mortals who want to actually use it as something other than a speculative investment asset are locked out forever

Mr.PayDay posted:Yeah I get that it feels like a “disconnect” to read about benchmarks, features, new GPUs like the 3060Ti or 6700XT when you try to find your new GPU since months and are simply locked out of your hobby and it feels like you can’t even get the September 2020 released 3080 now, 5 months later. It feels exactly like the house buying experience lol. Everything gets snapped up by some faceless LLC or speculator as soon as it hits the market and made available to you at an insane markup.

EngineerJoe posted:Yeah, I mean look at Elon Musk. One kinda super rich guy throws all his money behind world changing ideas over and over again and has basically made electric cars, reusable rockets and satellite internet viable. Musk didn't invent electric cars or found Tesla. He used his family wealth from apartheid-era African emerald mines and paypal (a company that became valuable by acting as a bank but avoiding bank regulation) to buy into Tesla after other people spent several years designing the cars.

Rinkles posted:What caused the chip shortage for cars? Everyone is saying it's because surging demand for laptops and webcams and other poo poo people were buying during covid ate up all the supply. The car makers probably canceled orders of chips when they scaled back production last year and now they want to put new orders in to TSMC et al but they're in the back of the line behind everyone that's been ordering for the past year.

Lets just pocket the savings and give our wonderful intelligent CEOs massive bonuses because nothing will ever cause a disruption in supply chains Funnily enough Toyota, which invented JIT manufacturing, chose to not cancel their orders and said a couple weeks ago that unlike every other car company they expect to not have any production problems because they've been stockpiling the chips they need.

Mordekai posted:Am I a fool for going with Pop! OS in my new desktop built around the 3070? I really don't care much about RTX, maybe for trying it out in some games. I mean if you want to play modern games it's usually Windows or nothing. Nvidia doesn't really offer terrific driver support at all for games on Linux, and even non-game graphics features are usually years behind on Linux. they just implemented on-demand GPU usage (ie, the main Gnome/KDE/whatever can be run on cpu or integrated gpu and then the dedicated GPU can be called upon to just render particular X windows) in like 2019 when the equivalent functionality has been in the windows drivers forever If you bought the graphics card to run deep learning jobs or mine bitcoins then do whatever Shear Modulus fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Mar 18, 2021 |

they changed their EULA a few years ago to say that data center use of the consumer cards is now out of EULA. this doesn't really matter for individuals but for big businesses it obviously means they couldn't get support if they were using consumer cards. they haven't installed limiters (yet) on the consumer cards but the workstation and data center cards obviously have much much more VRAM. the 3080 has less vram than the 1080Ti did 4 years ago even though today's deep networks have exploded in size which feels to me a lot like them trying to force people buying GPUs for deep learning into the higher price brackets. e: also only the most expensive cards support NVLink which is a big need for multi-gpu training e2: SourKraut posted:
iirc they specifically nerfed the mixed-precision and/or fp16 performance on the consumer cards. not terribly devastating for research or prototyping but a big deal for large-scale training Shear Modulus fucked around with this message at 00:32 on May 14, 2021 |

I was going to post that Newegg's shipping seemed fine in the past if you used the "shoprunner" shipping which is some kind of paid amazon prime-like shipping service for multiple online stores (but they give away free memberships if you have an american express credit card) but it looks like Newegg took away that option lol

For the EVGA step up gambit if you buy an extended manufacturer warranty does it transfer to the new card? From here: https://www.evga.com/warranty/extended/ it looks like the useless filler cards people are buying then immediately trading in would have an extended warranty cost of a third of the 3090, does EVGA still apply the warranty you bought for your integrated-graphics-tier card to the $2000 GPU?

This week's cryptocurrency crash has so far just brought the dollar value of ethereum down to where it was less than a month ago. I don't have any idea what the miners' profitability calculations look like but I don't see them really dumping GPUs they don't want anymore or demand drying up from just that level of declineCraptacular! posted:
Apple still has enough chips because they were apparently one of the only big buyers that didn't cut their orders due to the pandemic. Same with Toyota, the literal inventors of just in time, who the business press have been reporting were the only big auto company that decided to stockpile chips when they forecasted a possible future shortage.

repiv posted:AMD patented a super-resolution technique which might (or might not) be the basis of FSR Yeah this looks like a standard single-frame superresolution neural network model, which in addition to what others have said about this being more primitive than the Nvidia offering that uses time-domain info and less performant (unless AMD has somehow made up their deficit in AI-specific hardware and drivers), I don't see how all the patent claims would hold up in court.

I've never personally been part of a patent process myself so I don't have experience there but I've seen a lot of granted patents to tech companies that claim stuff that's either prior patented or already in the scientific literature.
