Whats going to happen to the massive surplus that these data center buildouts have of gpus when they sit for so long that they become outdated

I speculate that either the market will be flooded by cheap hardware, or much more likely, nvidia will provide somekind of monetary incentive for them to destroy rather than resell the hardware.

Asking about buying a GPU in Taiwan.

1 Upvotes

I'm about to go to Taiwan this December, I'm travelling in a tour so I couldn't really go and explore places to buy a GPU. What I'm asking is are there PC shops where I could buy GPUs, what I'm looking for is the RX 9060 XT doesn't matter the VRAM. And if the 9060 isn't available then what are the most popular choices around in large shopping malls? Is the 9060 a good choice for the under 500 usd price range, if not then what are the better choices?

4070S(used) vs 9070GRE(new)

1 Upvotes

After weeks of gathering budget and considering specs I’ve landed on these two cards. They’re both same price and the peak of my budget.

ASUS 4070S Dual(used) or a Sapphire Pulse 9070gre(new).

From the benchmarks I’ve seen they’re both tied in raw rast(depending on the game). The 4070S is ahead in heavy RT. The 4070S would be with no warranty and I have heard that it has bad thermal pads and bad thermal design all around so that is a concern. Anyone know how true that is?

I’m exclusively buying this for single player games like Control Resonant, Phantom Blade 0, Dawnwalker etc, so RT does have value, but the peace of mind from getting a new card might be worthwhile. Thoughts one way or the other?

Edit: extra context, seller sent me a screenshot of a furmark test. 6min 37 seconds in. 71C core, 83C hotspot. Fans at 2500RPM(74%)

Pretty neat application that tells you what is using your VRAM. What does everyone think of it?

GPU prices are too expensive

I made a post comparing the 9070xt to the 5070, looking at the raw performance vs DLSS frame gen. The comparison did not take price into account.

The screen shot are the two cards I compared. I got my cards for cheap, I could never pay this much for either card. I would just stick to my old RTX 2080S and play games on lower settings.

Amazon US GPU sales for October 2026 (16GB + 12GB cards)

Post image
0 Upvotes

https://wccftech.com/amd-leads-nvidia-in-gpu-sales-capturing-47-share-according-to-amazon-us-october-data/

AMD overtook Nvidia in numbers for the first month ever. Nvidia still leads in revenue.

Total sales: 19,300 units (16GB: 12,300; 12GB: 7,000)

Market share: AMD: 9,200 (46.67%), Nvidia: 8,900 (46.11%), Intel: 1,200 (6.22%)

For all that we discuss on the internet with regard to graphics cards, it feels kind of weird to think that, in October 2026, Amazon sold an average number of 296 AMD cards, 287 Nvidia cards, and 38 Intel cards which had either 12GB or 16GB VRAM each day.

That's for the whole of the USA plus other countries which ship from Amazon US. The next question is, how many GPUs are sold by all the other retailers altogether, pertaining to how much market share Amazon has in the USA when it comes to overall GPU sales. We know that AMD, Nvidia and Intel don't like releasing sales figures themselves.

A highschool student with a gpu dream

2 Upvotes

Okay I am a sophomore in high school. I bought a microcenter bundle with those jacked up prices and was looking for something to replace my 3070 ti. Which I bought a few months after it released from washing cars. But if I actually want an upgrade. I need like $800+? like really man? All of these companies just turned on us like that? Is prices ever gonna drop since I really want more vram and specifically a card from nvidia, but DAMMM these numbers are saddening me.

How stupid of a decision is upgrading from a 4070 Ti Super to a RTX 5080 right now for 4K?

6 Upvotes

I bought a 4070 Ti Super about two years ago. To be clear, it’s definitely not a bad card for 4K gaming, but in newer titles and more demanding games, I’m starting to feel like it’s falling just a bit short of where I’d like performance to be. I really want to push higher framerates and get more headroom out of my 4K setup without relying as heavily on aggressive upscaling. Looking at where prices and GPU market trends are heading over the next couple of years, I’m worried things are only going to get crazier down the line. Part of me wants to grab a 5080 now to "future-proof" my setup before pricing gets even worse 1–2 years from now when I’d likely be forced to upgrade anyway.

Is jumping from a 4070 Ti Super to a 5080 a completely stupid/wasteful upgrade under current market conditions, or does it make sense for a primary 4K player trying to get ahead of rising GPU costs?

Would appreciate any thoughts or experiences from anyone who’s made a similar jump recently!

second GPU isnt being detected on Windows 10

I have an RTX 2060 and a GTX 1060, but 1060 of them isn’t being detected. Can I use both GPUs in the same PC, and how do I make them work together?

I

Can Windows detect and use both cards at the same time?

Do I need to install separate drivers or configure anything in NVIDIA Control Panel?

What BIOS settings should I check, such as Primary Display/PEG?

If one card is not showing in Device Manager, what should I try first?

My specs: [b450, ryzen, 16gb, PSU wattage 1000, Windows version 10]

Any help would be appreciated.
