That's fine but what does it have to do with Oracle's earnings? The implication in his line was that Oracle is buying a lot of consumer GPUs which they aren't.
"I don't think so, if memory serves me, nVidia makes more money on enterprise computing then consumer GPU."
So what does that have to do with Oracle's earnings?
This:
I was disagreeing with your hypothesis that nVidia may tap the brakes on their AI products.
Then what does that have to do with consumer products? Economies can slow and can drag down the strongest performers. We had that in 2000, 2008 and countless other times. Oracle has been frothy and has been running up quite fast and they're down 10% this morning. Do I think that it's a short? No. I see this area as growing as well. But trees don't grow to the sky.
Giving pause means to rethink your position. It may or may not mean tapping the brakes on it. The market itself has been tapping the brakes on NVDA and AMD.
It doesn't and I never said it was. For some reason you're confused, and I really don't care to beat a dead horse, as its just derailing this thread.
Let me close and say nvidia is making a boatload of money off of AI. AMD sees this wants a piece of that pie.
I'm done. I'll interact with his thread on topics of PC building I'm done discussing nvidia's AI business plan
Then why mention consumer products at all. I'm confused? It seems like you were unclear.
I have no problems with your other statement that nVidia is making a lot of money off of AI and that AMD wants some of that.
But the implication of your original reply was that Oracle buys a lot of consumer GPUs and I clearly disagree with that.
7800xt definitely positioned itself nicely. Harder to find pre built systems with that card though. Nvidia still owns that market pretty much
It's brand new. You could always buy a prebuilt with a minimum or no GPU and then add it yourself assuming enough PSU and space.
Yea generally though they cheap out on the psu if it’s a low end or no gpu at all. Plus then dealing with if the case can handle it etc.
But yea, in general though, just more limited for amd options on pre built. And lately with the sales on the prebuilt systems, they’ve been pricing themselves cheaper than it is to build one.
Atleast here in Canada, there’s no way I can build a new 13th Gen Intel system with an rtx 4080 for $2600. Let alone under $3k for the specs I’ve gotten ordered
This year has been a year of frustration with GPUs over priced or under powered, this card is the sweet spot imo, of price and performance.
Its handling Starfield rather nicely, which is the reason why I upgraded my GPU
Starfield is definitely playing nicer with the amd gpu’s. Hopefully there’s a patch coming out to fix the nvidia performance, no way it should be suffering that badly
Wow, really nice. Congrats. I think the Lenovo Legion series both desktop and laptop are great computers. You could have done a lot worse
As for build, I've been tempted to get a prebuilt myself. There was a point where the cost of GPUs were so high, I might as well spend that and little more to get a full system. The thing is with this prebuilt, you can upgrade the components yourself as time goes on, so in a way you get the best of both worlds
Its actually one of the best games Bethesda released - from a stability/bug perspective. If you're on AMD hardware (like I am) then it runs really well. Bethesda worked tightly with AMD and it shows. We already had a bug fix released that cleaned up some of the minor annoyances. It may have DLSS support, but if not, there's a a mod available.
There's a long thread in the games forum, where people have shared their opinions (pros and cons).
Being a Bethesda fanboy (I love their games), this one is right up my ally and its been a great experience.
Yea that one was one thing i was very happy about it, was it was using standard parts, not proprietary crap. 850 watt gold plus psu as well. An RTX 4080 system for $2600 Canadian just isnt heard of here lol.Wow, really nice. Congrats. I think the Lenovo Legion series both desktop and laptop are great computers.

Been very happy with the performance of this card for sure. Gaming at 1440p with a 165hz monitor, easy to achieve those frames on all high settings. Been a very smooth experience
