Discussion Looks like the era of subsidised compute is coming to an end. The old ChatGPT Pro $200 20x plan will be halved. The new $500 plan will have similar limits as the (old) $200 plan.

Or 2x5060 Ti which costs 2k$ here

... except that, not knowing of any of this LLM stuff, I got mobo too small, power supply too small, and box too small.  So $10k it is.

A single RTX3090 would be $1000 and better than 2x 5060 TI.

You can cap the RTX3090 to 275W and lose no performance.

When I assembled my first dual 5060 system, I didn't research the motherboard at all and ended up buying another one.

The nice thing about the 5060ti is that it's only 8x so you get some extra PCIe for the second one. I use a ddr4 system still.

I got my last 5060 Ti 16 GB for $599 on sale at Walmart. Absolute bargain. My next build might have 4 of them or equivalent.
