-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Here in the UK the chinese gpus are appearing. I noticed that the Colorful gpus are available in some places here, including ebay, and they're CHEAP.
This is pretty cool. Definitely something to keep an eye on, since I want to upgrade.
I just expect that when 100% indigenous Chinese technologies fully surpass Western equivalents from Intel, AMD, Nvidia, that the West will go full Gandalf and not allow easy access for their populations.
Look here at sold listings on uk ebay:
Colorful 3060? £165 new
Colorful 4070ti? £600 - £650 new
If I head over to amazon to look up prices, a 4070ti is £800-900. These Chinese gpus are getting into the UK and are almost 33% cheaper than everything else. The quantity of them isn't high because I assume these are individual imports some sellers are doing or something. But their price is no joke.
Those are still using Nvidia chips. The Moore threads GPUs are completely Chinese, and they're not there yet, but they're on the way.
I want them to flood the market and force the price of everything else down to compete lmao
