      I don’t buy them for bragging rights, I buy them because I want to future proof my builds. Idgaf about anyone knowing anything about my builds or costs. I simply want performance and quality. Don’t generalize.

          Who are completely fucking irrelevant to this discussion, but go on and list out a few more sub-niche instances that are exceptions to an obvious reference to whales buying whatever the most expensive thing is. Totally worth your time.

            Hello, I am a gamer first, Blender modeller and animator, like 4th. I needed to upgrade my GPU to actually work in Cycles. So, as it was around by birthday, I bought a top end Nvidia card.

            I can buy a GPU for more than one reason.

              Good for you. Don’t care. Learn to fucking read like the part where the OP was clearly talking about goddamn whales.

              If you don’t know the difference and you get butthurt about this, you’re probably a fucking whale.

              Have fun posting your 4 second faster render times to CGTalk. I’m sure they’re all going to suck your dick for it.

                I know your just trying to troll and be obnoxious, but legitimately my render times dropped by an obscene amount.

                20 mins per frame down to about 30 seconds over a 250 frame animation is very significant for me.

                  That’s nice.

                  What does it have to do with whales continually buying new shit they don’t need just to impress people? Nothing? Yeah, that’s kind of the point.

                  And with that kind of performance increase you’re not buying year over year, are you? Maybe every 3-5 years, possibly longer?

                  There’s literally nothing about any of these posts that pertains to you, and yet here you are.

                    And you don’t see any irony in say this?

                    >Learn to fucking read like the part where the OP was clearly talking about goddamn whales. Right, and context was added to expand on that, do you dislike when people add new information to a discussion that makes it harder for you to hate on and exclude others?
