Crypto bros now can repurpose their mining rigs with new 5090s as AI rig. I wonder if its allowed to rent out GPU time for AI?

Scalper pricing....

Too bad Chinese brands no access to 5090.

PNY not China AIB lar. Their not limited unlike Colorful, Maxsun, Yeston & Galax which is OEM from China.

AI hallucinating like its on LSD is very addictive

LOL betcha distros are holding stocks waiting for post tariff price hikes which they will simply blame on Trump and you will believe it, but they ady bought these stocks at pre tariff lower prices. Haha.

You might think not were not affected but nope. Even HUB are certain Aussie prices will go up and their farther to US than us

Indeed but some still thinks we wont kena. Well here is what ChatGPT says:

Will trump tariff affect goods prices in other countries?

ChatGPT said:
Yes, Trump's tariffs can affect the prices of goods in other countries, even though the tariffs are applied to imports into the U.S. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on goods from other countries, several things can happen that impact global prices:

Increased Prices in Other Countries: If other countries face higher tariffs on their exports to the U.S., they may raise their prices to account for the added cost of the tariff. This could affect consumers in other countries as well, especially if the goods are integral to their local economy.

Global Supply Chains: Many products are part of global supply chains, where parts or raw materials come from various countries. If tariffs are applied on these goods, it can disrupt the production processes and raise costs for manufacturers in other countries. These increased production costs might eventually be passed on to consumers in other countries.

Trade Diversion: If the U.S. raises tariffs on goods from certain countries, those countries might seek to increase exports to other markets to compensate for lost sales in the U.S. This could shift the global flow of goods and impact supply and demand in other countries, which might influence local prices.

Inflationary Effects: Countries that rely heavily on imports from the U.S. or face higher tariffs may experience inflation, as goods become more expensive due to the added tariff costs. This could lead to higher prices for consumers in those countries.

In summary, while tariffs are primarily imposed on U.S. imports, they can have ripple effects across the globe, influencing prices in other countries depending on the structure of trade, production, and consumption.

How will Msia win when we too got tariff'ed?

Even $3000 Astral 5090 are selling out everywhere in USA. If they can afford $3000 GPU what is a raise of MSRP from $2000 to $2500 ?

Just coz of tariffs, demand wont magically go from 5090s down to 5080s or buyers wanting 5080s now going for 5070Ti. High end demand will still remain as people can still pay the premium. In USA it prolly just cost them 1-2 weeks more salary.

It is those lower down the affordability chain where poorer folks might choose to skip upgrading 5060/5050 because they need to afford for essentials that will be most affected but then you guys arent aiming for cheaper lower end GPUs isnt it?

There are no winners in Trump tariff war unless your Sinkie (somehow they only got 10% which they can remove by reducing their 10% import tariffs if they wanted, how convenient).

Really? Explain this then

Thats what I meant. Even local markets which has nothing to do with USA exports will be affected by Trump tariffs yet some still thinks it wont.

If you play RT, here is the performance gap for the diff in pricing

Ventus is 2.5-2.7 slots. About borderline SFF ready for XL type cases I guess

Proper Thermaltake SFF case would be something like this

Nvidia facing driver instability issues currently

Extra VRAM only helps in frame smoothness, it doesnt add to the FPS significantly which is why the current xx60TI family 16GB version FPS dont differ much from 8GB. And the main problem with them isnt whether 16 or 8GB buffer but the gen on gen perf leap isnt there to fully utilise that 16GB. 4060TI 16GB has disappointing low 10% step up from 3060Ti



And many predicting 5060TI will just have 10-15% gap with 4060TI. This is the main issue, not VRAM size.

Lets see if this MRSP will stick or not! Haha

Real power usage can be up to 50W higher than reported in HWINFO/GPUZ. This is captured in TG Wireview



See from 6.50.
