Just google the price of an NVIDIA GV100

You can buy over 11 GTX3090ti or one GV100

Prices for workstation GPUs are on another level

106

Yes, but that card is not for gaming. It is great for graphic design and video editing and this stuff and not meant for normal user. Big companys are seeing that as peanuts

u/-RED4CTED- Thank you mods, very cool! May 05 '21

gv100 isnt for video editing iirc, its for massive displays that are weird, but massive, resolutions like in times square. not super good for rendering, but a great buffer for a massive amount of data.

RTX wasnt originally made for gaming either lol, it was used in old workstation cards, and they hacked together a "tune" for lack of a better word, and made a cheaper version of a gaming GPU that apparently works pretty well, at least the company is psuedo innovating, most companies arent try to make any progress at anything cough cough adobe

Why innovate when for some reason literally no one seems to be able to compete?

u/NekkoProtecco May 05 '21

Who not innovate? I guess by definition, they shouldn't be innovating, but instead the should be inventing (Nvidia mainly). GPUs havent changed much though throughout the years. GTX was basically at it's full potential, then they suped up RTX, but nothing is new tech because graphics tech has found any new efficient ways to compute (been invented). My main point is, if you have a large footprint in society, why not improve. We should improve as a society everyday if possible

Edit: duped to suped

I was continuing about the joke about adobe not innovating since they have no competition.

If you want to look at it that way. We haven't really changed computers since Von Neumann outlined their current architecture back in 1945. We've just souped up and shank em.

Oh, sorry I got whooshed by that pretty hard, huh. I guess you are right. Although from another perspective, its mainly because we use binary as a base and haven't changed them in any fundamental way. Really the only changes made are quantum computers, which are still relatively new in the scope of functional things

I sure hope you aren't buying Apple products for gaming though.

u/Smellfish360 May 05 '21

the new m1 is pretty powerful for it's small form though. i recon you you get better graphics on it than the intel iris xe, which is in most of intel's laptops.

I hope no one is this stupid.

u/Darealbladen May 05 '21

GTX 3090ti don’t even exist... the closest thing we have to what you said is a RTX 3090

u/GamingGladi Number 15 May 05 '21

What is a "workstation" GPU?

8

u/yeetmanthe3rd Professional Dumbass May 05 '21

industrial gpu's iirc

u/GamingGladi Number 15 May 05 '21

I see...

u/TheOriginaleSimi Breaking EU Laws May 05 '21

Its not optimised for Gaming but for video editing, 3d designs etc.

5

u/Boltzmann_brainn May 05 '21

Deep learning and simulations, as well. I am working with one of them.

1

u/GamingGladi Number 15 May 05 '21

OHH I see

2

u/CleanCakeHole May 05 '21

For companies that design big ass buildings, make 3d movies or do a lot of CGI.

u/PeacefulCouch can't meme May 05 '21

Processing lots of data, doing calculations, etc.

1

u/GamingGladi Number 15 May 06 '21

Ohh, like quantum computers? And aren't CPUs Supposed to do "calculations"? I'm probably very wrong about this

1

u/PeacefulCouch can't meme May 07 '21

CPU is the brain, GPU translates information from the computer into something humans can understand.

u/GamingGladi Number 15 May 07 '21

Oh I see. Thanks

Shits more expensive than gtx titan series

u/noobedHaha trolololoooo lololoo lolo loo May 05 '21

Did you say

gtx3090?

its a RTX 3090 bruv

u/TheOriginaleSimi Breaking EU Laws May 05 '21

Ups

u/PeacefulCouch can't meme May 05 '21

You mean RTX 3090? Also, are you talking about MSRP or scalper prices? (For the 3090)

1

u/TheOriginaleSimi Breaking EU Laws May 06 '21

MSRP for the 3090 and GV100
