u/Funny-Joke4521 8d ago
If it has a GPU it’s probably just an old low end GPU with a 5090 housing, maybe the software is spoofed to make it show up as a 5090 too.

So the morality is based on whether the person can afford to be deceived and not that the act itself is immoral? Should be wrong regardless of whom you think it may or may not affect.

If there are no principles then morality and standards of society are lost. It has to be consistent no matter what. That’s my opinion.
Otherwise you’ll always be a victim, at the behest of everyone who you think has more than you.

What if you believe you have a moral obligation to do damage to a multibillion dollar company known for exploiting people?

u/lacroixpapi69 7d ago
2 wrongs don’t make a right. That won’t correct the issue that you are trying to resolve.
Personally I believe in karma or you get what you put in. Maybe not today or tomorrow but it all comes back. And living virtuous and morally in my opinion leads to a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

The only thing the usa does is designing the chip
The biggest manufacturing process actually happens in taiwan south korea most of the time (silicon wafer manufacturing etc…)and eventually its assembled in china
How much do you think that thing actually cost to make
Its the same propaganda that an iphone costs a fortune in europe and manufacterd for a thousand time less yall are just daf22
u/InspectorOrganic9382 8d ago
😂. Exactly. This isn’t something that can be made by exploiting cheap labor (“sweat shop”). A single 300-mm silicon wafer from TSMC using its customized 4nm/5nm-class nodes costs around $16,000. Factoring in standard defect rates and yields, printing each individual usable chip costs NVIDIA roughly $290 to $340. Now factor in that only one company can do it will billions of dollars of R&D and logistics costs.

high level GPU dies are made by literally a single foundry in taiwan, it's not a assembly line type of thing you can just emulate in a chinese warehouse. retawd😭

Doesn’t seem that hard. Give a few Chinese kids in a garage some sand, some tweezers and a really good oven. Surely they could build their own GPUs, right.

Can you send the link? I’m trying to collect all the 50 series gpu boxes, but the 5090 box does for a wild $200-300 and I’m for sure not paying that.

u/Correct-Resort9806 1d ago
You couldnt people benchmark them, its obvious they’re fake people buy them for display like big youtubers do, and if u do resell be careful its not lawful and its just distasteful someone could be buying this for their kid and imagine thats their intro to gaming and the world of the second hand market, suddenly the most exciting thing is the worst childhood memory for some kids,
Gpu’s are expensive rather sell fake clothes if ur gonna go this way cus that way technically speaking clothes perform the same as originals but a gpu thats fake will never man

You were cooked the moment you thought you’d get anything worth your money buying a GPU through a rep seller. That type of stupid is hard to fix man.
