    "Right. A pc with a 3090 will kill this and still be cheaper. Meh

    monospaced"

    •͡˘㇁•͡˘

    Cost of just ONE nVidia 3090 card (if you find it): 2800 - 4500 euros

    Cost of high spec 64GB/1TB Mac Studio with M1 Ultra: 3620 euros (3999 usd)

    • 1900-ish in the US. You can get a complete computer for less than $3k.formed
    • ~£1600 in the UKkingsteven
    • can't believe i'm witnessing someone arguing for apple with monospacedkingsteven
    • not arguing, just curios how those rategrafician
    • and I remember doing this with Mac Pros and Dell workstations for same specs and Dell cost even 20-30% highergrafician
    • @kingsteven do you have some links? I see prices £2400 - £4400 on Amazon.co.uk

    • ^so that's over 5000 euros
      Where exactly have you found 3090s for "~£1600 in the UK"

    • pretty sure both formed and kingsteven you're talking about the 3080 version of nvidia cards, which indeed go for under 2K euros/pounds/dollarsgrafician
    • I can pick up a 3090 at the store for $2k anytime. Sorry, troll.monospaced
    • you're looking at scalpers on amazon. they're hard to find because of the chip shortages but when stock drops at stores they start around 1.6kkingsteven
    • NO, the 3090! It's all over Google Shopping, not hard to find.formed
    • Still reasonably hard to find the good brand cheaper models actually in stock in the UK + EU but they drop regularlykingsteven
    • Again, have no clue where you guys are looking, but again, all the prices I've posted are real current prices. That card really cost that much if you find it...grafician
    • Yep, checked on Google shopping just now, yep same prices, 2500-4000 euros.grafician
    • Cheapest I could find was around 2200 euros but it was refurbished.grafician
    • @monospaced a PC with the same specs and an nVidia 3090 is at least 3500-4500 euros, so you're either dumb or ignorant, pick yourselfgrafician
    • So yes, it COULD be faster depending on the specs, but won't be cheaper not to mention power consumption and noise cuz you don't want a plane on your deskgrafician
    • that's not true heremonospaced
    • Literally proved you were wrong on the "cheaper" perspective
      Specs for specs, PCs are not cheaper!
      grafician
    • Even more, for a PC to be on par, would cost 1.5-2x more!
      32GB Dell workstations are $4-5K ffsake!

    • not really, thoughmonospaced
