    “But I NEEEEEEEEED to play my games on 164x AA, ultra textures, unlimited render distance, no optimization, 900 fps (on a 60 fps 720p monitor) MOOOOOMMMM!!!”

    That’s how I hear every excuse for a recent Nvidia purchase.

        Yeah I got a 3090 for Stable Diffusion and LocalLLaMa, money well spent tbh it brought many hours of fun, joy and learning and let me explore and study the tech and ML more generally without performance constraints. Much better value proposition than extra reflections in some video game honestly.
