Nine years ago, the NVidia Titan Xp was launched at a price around $1400. However, during this time, many people were buying GPU’s for Crypto-Mining or buying to re-sell and gouge the prices. My motherboard, bought in 2015, is only a PCIe x3. I might still be limited without the new PCIe x5, but I can still push the boundaries.
Now, EBay has these GPU’s refurbished going for less that $400 and finally in my price range. Back then, mid-tier gaming and development put my current GPU (AMD VEGA 56) in a decent place. But if this GPU works as described, I go from 8GB to 12GB GDDR5 VRAM and the sheer speed and image quality will definitely be noticeable.
Still so proud of my sixteen year old computer. New upgrades when they come in:
Old Stuff:
- AMD 8GB Vega 56 GPU
Samsung 970 M.2 NVMe (Will still be used as M.2 NVMe Storage after complete format)
- Reallusion Suite (CC3, IC7, old content)
New Stuff:
- Nvidia GeForce TITAN Xp GPU
- 4TB Samsung 990 EVO PLUS
- (x2) SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Adapter Card (M.2 NVMe Storage)
- Windows 11 Pro
- Reallusion Suite (CC5, IC8, Software new Content, Market Place new Content)
