>>3929943>Why does a gpu matter on things that are CPU bottlenecked?Lol, you are dumb.
I also have a 5800x, which is no slouch, and 48gb of ram, which I partition off 16gb as a ramdisk for importing photos. It's all very snappy, I bet you're on a sata interface early gen SSD at best.
Also, people use their pc for more than just photoshop\lightroom. Solidwork sims will suck up every spare resource you have.
>>3929949>Wahhh it's too expensive to buy and costs too much on power usage.We're back to the crux of the issue for you, you're poor. And older hardware is much less power efficient, so you're also wrong.
And no, clicking "buy" and taking 10 minutes to install new hardware isn't a "rat race", it's a very quick and easy method for me to save time and money. Doing upgrades allows me to use my pc much more than the 10 minutes a hardware swap takes.
Honestly though, I would have rathered a 6800xt or 6900xt, but stock was non existent.
Is your time not more important to you than a couple days wages? That's a sad outlook on life. What's even sadder is that you claim you don't buy into this rat race, yet here you are with all the opinions about the 3080 ti... If you didn't care, why do you know enough to form such a strong opinion?
>Moore's law is only about transistor countOh babe, what a pointless metric that would be without the implications, here's what investopedia says "Moore's Law states that we can expect the speed and capability of our computers to increase every couple of years, and we will pay less for them." Let's look at the evidence...
The fastest supercomputer in the world in 2000 managed 12 teraflops of peak processing power, it weighed over 100 tons, used 6 megawatts of power and cost $165m adjusted for inflation. The GPU in my desktop pc has a peak output of 35 teraflops, weighs a couple kg, uses 300w of power and cost a grand...
Feels good to have a supercomputer on your desk, you should get a job and try it some day.
