Mid-range GPUs have largely dodged the memory crisis, but not for much longer
… When enterprise AI demand gobbled almost all the available memory, GPU manufacturers could no longer continue to sell GPUs at the prices we saw until the end of last year. They slashed the production of low-margin budget GPUs to focus on high-end models. …
Nvidia's RTX 50-series launch shows why the 'always wait for the next generation' rule is dead
… Record your steady-state GPU clock frequency, core voltage drops, and peak power draw. …
3 reasons your monitor upgrade matters a lot more than your next GPU upgrade
… Due to shifting priorities, GPU companies are focusing on data center GPUs for enterprises. You'll most likely have to wait till 2028 for next-generation GPUs. …
Most gamers should logically buy an AMD GPU — here's why they keep buying Nvidia anyway
… And it's not just marketing that's behind Team Green's leadership in the GPU space, whether consumer or enterprise. Between the two GPU brands, Nvidia was the first mover, at least on the 3D graphics scene. …
DRAM prices have tripled, and three products are paying the price
… Why would Nvidia sell you a 5070 super for $600 when they can use the same memory in a $5,000 enterprise chip? …
13 years later, the GTX Titan is still the most important GPU Nvidia ever made
… Related My RX 9070 XT was the better GPU, but AMD's track record pushed me back to RTX If they're willing to lock FSR 4 to the newest cards, that's not good news for the longevity of my GPU The Titan quietly helped build the bridge toward Nvidia’s AI future It's tough not to be reverent about this … …
I added a second GPU just for local AI workloads, and it cost less than upgrading my main one
… I was on the lookout for a cheap card to act as my dedicated local AI GPU, and was curious how low I could go. Fortunately, even an 8GB VRAM GPU that's several generations old has enough power to host 7B–8B models. …
This hidden Proxmox setting may sound cursed, but it’s really useful for coding and DIY projects
… Definitely, but it complements my setup fairly well, especially once you throw GPU passthrough into the mix… Related I tried using a Proxmox-based Windows 11 VM as my daily driver - here's how it went All it took was a little bit of tinkering and a whole lot of patience Even GPU acceleration works … …
SSD prices are still climbing, yet you are killing your drive for no good reason
… However, the accompanying NAND shortage combined with the DRAM squeeze led to rising SSD prices, too, as manufacturers diverted the wafer supply toward enterprise products. Later, graphics cards suffered the same fate, thanks to rising VRAM prices and companies prioritizing enterprise GPUs. …
