I need to be clear that my intentions for that graphics card are sexual in nature

I got the 24gb model last August. Laugh a little Everytime I boot up half-life alyx and the game says not enough vram

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How much vram does alyx need? Wtf

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think it's just because it's not an Nvidia card the game is freaking out. Game runs just fine.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How fine are we talking? What would you do to it?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jesus fucking Christ

I think it's 7900XTX fucking PlayStation 2

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Or the other way around. We can never be too sure.

What kind of unholy abomination will be born from this? Some kind of half-PC half-console hybrid?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Oh we already had that.

Fuck that thing. THREE slots? I had to abandon one project and look for alternatives because my GFX card already block one slot from being used, but blocking two is crazy.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Three slot bracket with a four slot cooler.

And there are still people making them fit in mini-itx cases, no doubt.

Water cooled as well for the sweet 1U + reservoir

I purchased both the 7900xtx and a 4090. Kept the 7900xtx. Absolutely adore this card. Being a Linux nerd made it a no brainer, but the performance vs price ratio wasn’t there.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah. I got one and it's a beast. I had to design and print a support for its ass to keep it from sagging.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I switched to a server-style case which sits horizontally exactly for this reason. The sag will only get worse.

[–] cryptiod137@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which case is that?

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 years ago

I've been using one of these 4U server chassis. Of course it is in a rack with some other equipment. I've been quite happy with it; lots of space.
