Finding a reasonable graphics card.

Just wait. The memecoiners has crashed the market

Second hand 390 would be a good buy right now.

>>61053008
If you're a poorfag, 1050ti is a pretty good card for the price.

>secondhand AMD card would be a good buy right now

you seem confused because quite the opposite is true, prices are inflated as hell because of ethereum mining

>>61053145
The 390 is a power hungry monster.
I don't see how it would be good for mining.

>>61053008
I am upgrading from a 760. I want a 580 but they're gone, so I bought a 1050Ti for the short term, and will get a 580 or whatever is good from AMD by the time it actually fucking comes back in stock

>>61053097
I am a poor fag but would rather shell out some more for a better card rather than have to upgrade sooner.

So it's just waiting then for the market to settle?

>>61053150
power is cheap as hell
here's completed listings for 390's, they are going for up to $400 right now

>>61053201
Fuuuuuuuuuuck.

GTX 980's seem to have amazingly good prices though.

>>61053215
Too bad its already gimped.

I'll sell u my fury x

>>61053251
As far as I can tell, the 980 hasn't been "Gimped". It's not like there were performance reductions when Pascal was released.

>>61053008
You have a 660? Fuck off poorfag. The 1050 is sub 200

>>61053150
Because of memory bandwidth and 8GB of VRAM. Memory thoroughput is the most important for ETH. Power consumption can be modified by undervolting, 30MH/s per 250W will be more than enough to offset power costs in most places.

The R9 390/X and Fury, practically the whole Polaris lineup including the 460, are all price inflated beyond comprehension. Most cards are OOS because of a surge in GPU based mining anyway with the exception of enthusiast class hardware e.g. 1080Ti/1080 (memory conditions of these cards also make it harder to mine ETH). Odds are the trends aren't going to go away for a while so you're going to have to settle for a shittier card.

>>61053287
The 1050 is equivalent to the 660, and the 1050ti is only ~35% better and not really worth the upgrade.

>>61053008
480s/580s are pretty good in aus because we don't seem to have much miner demand. However, the fucking linux drivers on these things are next to non-existent, so be prepared to do some work if you're not a wincuck.

>>61053293
This is extremely disappointing

>>61053184
Might as well wait for Vega(TM). Get a 1050Ti at a reasonable price and replace it later, spend too much on a 1060 you'll have replace nearly as soon, or spend a little more on a 1070 that can at least handle 1440p. Waiting for a 480/580 is the same as waiting on Ethereum to crash and no one knows when that's gonna happen.

>>61053560
1070s are experiencing the same issues as the polaris cards now. You can get a 1080 for about as much as fucking 1070s are going for now.

>>61053560
Yeah sounds like i'll go with the 1050ti as I need to replace my psu anyway and need the machine running.

What would be the next relative gpu upgrade I should watch for after the 1050ti? g/o/y here so I'm not up to date on much

>>61053409
Are you fucking retarded? The open source AMDGPU driver in the kernel has supported Polaris since like 4.8 out of the box

If you are waiting for RX 570-580 or GTX 1060-1070-1080 don't hold your breath. Pre-order and wait with the boys.

>>61053714
Is crypto-lung a thing?

>>61053655
AMD Navi in 2019.

Looking for a cheap GPU to run two 4k monitors. Nothing too extensive, just YouTube videos and basic web browsing.

>>61053831
rx550

>>61053865
Shit, I forgot to say that I need a card that will work with Qubes.

>>61053928
Well, polaris is a good choice for Linux and IOMMU passthrough.

>>61053961
Well, I'll give it a shot. I just had to return a 1050ti because it wouldn't work with Qubes.

RX 580`s are in stock now if you bundle with a new Ryzen CPU. it's less attractive to miners for some reason to have to throw away a Ryzen and pay the same price.

>1050ti
I'm not surprised

>>61053992
be a little careful, the 550 only has one display port and one hdmi port. Both support 4k however you need to make sure you can use your monitors.

>>61054053
Thanks, I've got adapters so I should be good either way.

>>61054087
HDMI 1.4 only does 4K30hz. Make sure your adapters can do HDMI2.0

Hey fa/g/s, what gpu do you guys suggest I buy to upgrade from this piece of shit? Not looking to break the bank either, something around $200 bucks.

Forgot pic

>he didnt buy a second hand gtx 970 that will play most ames at MAX in 60 fps

just get one of these and upgrade in 2 years
you can get a 970 for a 150$ easy and it beats out the gtx 1050 ti

>>61055071
Or buy a 1070 and upgrade in 10 years, especially if you don't fall for the 4k meme

>>61053008
Buy a used 970

>>61053008
just fyi the only rx480 you should be looking at is the xfx one

What the fuck are you talking about? The kernel drivers supported Polaris long ago, even worked at launch.
You are probably using an older kernel where AMDGPU didnt even exist.
