Get the 12GB 3060 and you can run your uncensored & un-glowniggered AI girlfriend locally on your machine. The popular 13 billion parameter LLMs are suprisingly good at roleplay and will fit entirely in 12GBs of VRAM.
And uhh, yeah, it's a good card for 3D too I guess.

You COULD get away with AMD if you are mostly using Blender, but anything else, you are fucked and have to get jewvidia, cuz all shit just runs on CUDA or Cpu.

RTX 3060 is the bare minimum you should get, 12GB is decent amount of Vram, 8GB just wont do if you have a "medium" sized scene, when I had a 2070 4 years ago I barely could push renders for my finals. Now no issues having a 3090, try to buy one if possible. Otherwise, get the 3060, used it until you can save some more and get the 3090 used again.

With not enough RAM, be it video or system, you are just fucked on doing 3d stuff, period.

Dont worry anon, when you make heavy 3D shit, anything will break off eventually, EVGA has the best RMA at least, so if it dies but the dude who sold it to you has the receipt, they will do the RMA service.

I've owned pretty much from all brands, never had issues except one time with a cheap h110 msi board that died off, but it was a pos anyways. Nowadays I kinda sticked to Gigabyte because of mobo features/price.

They left because Nvidia were fucking assholes on making business, thats why they stopped working with them and didn't do newer GPUs, but they STILL do RMA services on their products.

It's fine I promise. I'd rather not do any water cooling my workload doesn't justify it. Also loops are a bitch to maintain so I'd simply rather not. I can afford to run noisy fans.
The MBA is loud under maximum load near its limits for temps but the real problem is coil whine holy fuck I can hear the coil whine over the fans going full speed on this. I recommend not the MBA model for 2 reasons
1) defective vapor chamber chances are 1 in 10, I can speak to this is true
2) coil whine and fan sound are better on other models
I went for it because yeston was my backup of this second MBA was defective. The almost the smallest design, 2 8pins was a must. Yeston was the best best model for my size and pin needs. Gigabyte has one too but fuck gigabyte it looks cheaper than my 750ti sc.

>>962907
I've been Nvidia free since 2012. Please understand this is both a cost and autistic reason. I like reference cards more and blower fans more. I just want a fucking rectangle with no gamer bullshit at a more affordable price point. I know my needs. Yes Nvidia can do my workloads in slightly less time but the ROI is better for AMD for my purposes. I don't use CUDA or RT in my workloads nor do they benefit from it to any significant degree.
Personally I want to get the W7900 because like I said I'm autistic and I like blower fans and rectangles and the pro line is basically what I want. Yes Nvidia offers it too but again price matters to me, and I don't benefit from the extras they offer so AMD is my best fit

For work I'm actually making a number of remote workstations and we're debating on the W7500 or the W7600 because single slot cards like that are nice. Yeah 8x is gay but for our use case it's more than enough. Need 4 of the fuckers though and that adds up. Thankfully gpu passthrough proxmox and me forcing their hand makes this a bit easier than normal. Also a threadripper board with 6 pcie slots all at 16x gen4 makes this a breeze. Hard part will be the storage.

AI in medicine was something hyped like a decade ago and turned out to be a commercial failure, what are you even talking about old man
people use it all the time in their days to day lives
my friend uses gpt4 to draft scripts for coding
he and a lot of other people Ive seen also just use it like a search engine for general queries
I know two people who use chatgpt for law, specifically tax codes and criminal law
students notoriously are using it to write their essays, I was shocked to catch my sister using it for a college essay

just less than a month ago "AI" (really it should be called ML but whatever) was used to digitally "unwrap" and reveal the partial text of a herculaneum scroll, a breakthrough in the classics
of course if were going to talk ML, which all "AI" is, OCR has been used for decades now for a million different things, facial recognition in phones/surveillance, image classification in general is huge

In 3dfx it would be used as a minor tool in a workflow, either for texturing, making hdris, photoshop assets for design work, etc

in terms of profitability in art its mostly in independent work since obviously the tech is new
Ive seen AI clip art in many youtube videos, videos with hundreds of thousands or millions of views, ie theyre profitable
the ai voice synthesis tech is popping off recently
theres a handful of indie artists on twitter making money off ai work

Make something that isnt susceptible to bias. Make something that can be done via an understandable, debuggable script, and not a 50,000 unit cluster outputting biased works or in the case of chat gpt, extremely neuteured non answers that just rip information from the web and dont give credit, even for code examples that require credit and attribution.

Where we disagree on the first point is that you tacitly believe that ML is not going anywhere when thats clearly not the case
Paradoxically however you ALSO tacitly believe that AI, if it is to succeed, MUST be this magic bullet do all that completely replaces every cg software

Im just saying that a tool that allows you to create images from a prompt in any style you specify will be extremely useful
They obviously still have a certain look to them, but theyve gotten WAY better at realism in recent years that even Ive been fooled at first glance by some AI gen images

Also the in between frames thing is probably the best use case in the arts for the near future
for animation those frames are usually outsourced and take thousands of man hours, being able to do it with AI lowers the barrier of entry to animation substantially

Legit question, has anyone ever seen a USB gpu accelerator? i mean like a proper gpu accelerator and not the crappy dvi/vga/hdmi video output adapters, i dont even care about I/O just the raw processing power. Do these things exist? i remember at some point i've seen some HD video decoder cards for laptops and a couple mini pci e gpus but very limited in capabilities and power in general. What i'm asking about is something like a google coral AI module but focused on complimenting gpu power over usb.

They're called eGPUs and they suck. Expensive, massive performance tax and your BIOS and OS wont like them.

i dont mean an eGPU, these are proper GPUs with full connectivity and everything and require thunderbolt in order to be able to access the pci bus + you need to connect amonitor in the card in order to use it and still are limited by thunderbolt bandwidth , usb doesn't really support this and that is why i am asking about an accelerator, something that maybe just take some strain of the gpu, it may be a silly request but i was curious

Unironicly this, anything else is barely better than CPU rendering and not worth the price unless you mainly use it for gaming

if you are a blender user and like to use older versions, take note that cycles in the older versions up to 2.8 does not work with the newer nvidia cards -i found out after getting the 3060 12gb- £100 cheaper than the 6700xt that has 12gb. i wanted the higher v-ram at best price and nvidea rep for multi-media had me. if i new in advance i would have got the amd card or even settled for the 8gb 6600xt.

Not so much the cuda cores as it is the tensor cores. Nvidia's Optix speeds shit up so much it ain't funny. Amd has nothing similar at all.

It's okay if you want to be a brand cuck, but the writing is on the wall. Especially with the power supplies they released last year only having a 3 year warranty instead of the 10 year warranty that's been standard for as long as they were an Nvidia partner. If they're somehow still in business by the end of the decade I'll be pleasantly surprised but still disappointed.

The thing about gpu rendering is that you very quickly run out of memory once you start rendering actual production hero stuff. 12gb is only enough for background and 24gb still isnt enough

I currently use a GTX 1060, but it's past time for me to upgrade. 6GB VRAM may have been enough when I was just starting out with basic stuff but now that I've progressed onto more advanced projects, I'm almost always running out of VRAM now and it's insufferable. Once I upgrade to a beefier GPU with hardware ray tracing acceleration to take full advantage of OptiX, I'll probably take the 1060 and use it to build a cheaper HTPC or something.

I use a laptop with 3050ti
For now, it's enough, but I'm very much a beginner still
Maybe if I actually get somewhere in this hobby I will upgrade once the hardware starts severely limiting me, but for now it's my skill that is limiting me, not the hardware
Although I do remember that it took me basically a whole night to render the donut animation using cycles at 2k 60fps with my gpu, which is why i'm sticking with eevee for now

although in hindsight it was probably actually a whole night for a 10 second 60fps regular ole full hd animation, 1 minute for a 2k frame in cycles sounds too good to be true with my craptop

Breh, I'm making a new rig and I'm hesitating between getting a 3090 with 24go of VRAM or buy the 4080 Super with 16go of VRAM that's released in a few days?
The thing is that I'm planning on doing some heavy procedural environment modeling with Houdini so I might need the VRAM but I don't know since I'm not really a tech-fag nor an experienced Houdini user (as in I never joined all the HDAs into a big project, I only did small projects separately).
What to do? The other softwares I use are Blender, Zbrush and Unreal Engine.

How big is the price difference from where you are? I think 3090 would be better unless you really need the fancy pants new features on the 4080 super. The 4080 super is technically the more powerful card bit VRAM is VRAM

Memory chips on my GPU are failing, causing the monitor to have massive amounts of artifacts on the screen and some sections to not work at all. This gpu only lasted me a year and a half. What should I do now? I used to be running on dual gpu with a 60 series, and now I had to remove the faulty one, so I'm running on single gpu and my render times have doubled.
