Two years ago I made a post on Reddit's pcmasterrace (under same username) that somehow made it to /all and trended for a while.
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve found myself slowly distancing from Reddit with all the drama, weird decisions, and the feeling that any post you make can get nuked on a whim by a power-tripping mod (see: r/art).
So I wanted to anchor this moment with big chungus here on the fediverse as I start a new chapter on Lemmy. Looking forward to hanging out with everyone here and having fun again.
By the way big chungus is alive and well, the same can't be said for the 4090 though, i'm getting coil whine from it and had to live with that until 60 series...

Wish I could be as optimistic as you about the 60 series. I hope the AI bubble bursts quickly so that prices can normalise because I won't buy a PC with these prices.

How funny it would be if by that time the insane price would not be because of the GPU itself, but because of the memory..

Isn't the AI bubble also the cause of high memory cost?
TevTra@lemmy.tevtra.com · 12 pts · 277d
Yeah, used to be just the GPU itself, but now RAM too, and GPU has its own RAM component so it's double whammy
Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it · 3 pts · 277d
Yeah, now 128gb of ram cost like a new GPU...

isnt that literally the current issue?
gpu chip prices coming down but mem chips skyrocketing instead
InnerScientist@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 277d
No, GPU prices are still high and memory is overtaking them, I'd rather have no pc than buy at these prices.
I'll just keep using used notebooks for cheap and not play GPU (or CPU) intensive games until (if ever) the situation improves.

Sooo, whats with the patch on your cat? 😄
Unfortunate with the coil wine, but otherwise great cardbto skip a generation 😬

I was making a joke that i had to sell my cat's kidney for one of these cards. It's just a gauze with food coloring, but the post got taken down briefly by reddit mod due to "depiction of violence" because of that 😂

Thats a fantastic joke, I wish I had understood it before reading the explanation. Subtle, genuinely great joke!

Thank you, it's definitely one of my highlights

Always make sure you patch your cat regularly for vulnerabilities.

I just upvoted for the cat, not sorry. Your cat is one chunky man and I just wanna squeeze him and rub him and love him forever! (sorry if it's actually a girl cat lol)

Fun fact, orange will most likely be male, female version will become calico. But yes he's precious, thank you!

My 7900 XTX sounds like it's trying to establish a dial-up connection to Satan when running intense compute tasks. So we can suffer together.

When playing game with stable frame rate the whine is constant and can almost become white noise. But when running LLM though, the noise it make is exactly like what you described.

it's not affecting me that much when i'm fully immersed in VR due to wearing headphones, but when i'm using it with local LLM for chats the noise can be unbearable. Not sure how undervolting can affect that particular use case yet so i've never done it.

Do you get coil whine on idle? Or only under load? Maybe just a frame rate limit might reduce your coil whine
TevTra@lemmy.tevtra.com · 2 pts · 277d
Totally no whine on idle, only under load. Like i said in other reply, on stable frame rate it can almost be like white noise due to constant noise, but when running LLM it makes a very distinctive rhythmic noise, and the noise pattern is different with every model and its VERY annoying.
Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com · 2 pts · 277d
Yeah maybe frame rate limit, power limit, under volt, under clock... Those kinds of things might help

Welcome to Lemmy, hope you'll like it here:)
