wondering why nvidia

#
  1. are you in the US?
  2. what is this pc for?
  3. What resolution/games?
dawn kraken
#

Why nvidia? Do you use blender

languid flint
#

I’m just sick of AMD and want to use shadow play for once lmao

#

And DLSS

#

AMD drivers are getting better but nvidia is still what I’m interested in

#

It’s really also just a “first timer nvidia experience” thing

#

I don’t have any desire to get insane amounts of FPS cuz my monitor is only 144hz

dawn kraken
languid flint
#

Not using any other software

#

Medal is weird

#

Also there’s still DLSS for nvidia

#

I wanna try that out too

dawn kraken
#

thing is there arent many good options at that budget with nvidia

#

mabye something 3000 series

languid flint
#

Why are 3090s so expensive 😬

dawn kraken
#

why are you even looking

#

dont get a 3090 in 2024 lol

languid flint
#

I’m not looking

#

I js know they cost a ton

dawn kraken
#

yeah, not worth it

languid flint
#

I feel like I should cop a 7600

#

they’re pretty good ngl

dawn kraken
#

mabye, im working thru a pcpp list

languid flint
#

Not no 3D series but

dawn kraken
#

?

#

i know what a 7600 is

dawn kraken
#

shit prices

languid flint
#

there’s minimal difference between the x version and that original right

dawn kraken
#

if you want an actually decent nvidia card at your budget you would have to get a used card, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, just not a problem you would have if u were open to just going amd lol

languid flint
#

Yeaaa

#

But I’ve had AMD for too long

#

Time for a switch

dawn kraken
languid flint
#

Heh

#

Why they be releasing x first

dawn kraken
#

what have u been using lol

dawn kraken
languid flint
#

RX 550 in my first PC

#

💀

dawn kraken
#

bro

languid flint
#

6700xt in my second

dawn kraken
#

why are you building a 1k pc

#

ur gonna end up with similar performance

languid flint
#

why not

#

Ion like AMD anymore

#

Want a change for once

dawn kraken
#

#

Perfect first time message in here

#
  • I play a few games where you have less delay with nvidia cards
dawn kraken
languid flint
#

20% is 20%

dawn kraken
#

its not worth it

#

at all

languid flint
#

oh well

#

My money

#

amirite

dawn kraken
#

if anything just upgrade ur current pc, whatchu got

languid flint
#

6700xt and a 5 12600k

#

Still ok

coarse fulcrum
#

are you running am4 or am5

languid flint
#

4

coarse fulcrum
#

actually nvm

languid flint
#

In my first pc

coarse fulcrum
#

2nd pc is intel

languid flint
#

LGA1700

#

Yea

coarse fulcrum
#

with amd as ur gpu

languid flint
#

Word

coarse fulcrum
#

Personally if i was you i would stick with Amd

languid flint
#

HE- HE- HELL NA

coarse fulcrum
#

and why not

#

give me 10 good reasons

languid flint
#

need that first time nvidia experience

#

That’s 1 reason equivalent to 10

dawn kraken
#

the nvidia experience is basically the same as amd

coarse fulcrum
#

Yeah

#

literally the same

dawn kraken
#

its not some new crazy experience

coarse fulcrum
#

just green

languid flint
#

Need that first time driver experience

#

And no crashing

dawn kraken
#

at most a bit better rt experience

#

bro what

languid flint
#

I forgot about raytracing

dawn kraken
#

amd drivers are basically the same as nvidias

#

especially newer amd drivers

coarse fulcrum
#

if you aren't gonna listen to me, listen to @dawn kraken

#

you're just gonna end up burning your money with nvidia

dawn kraken
#

ive had a single driver timeout and it was my fault

coarse fulcrum
#

and trust me 20% isn't alot nowadays

languid flint
#

still

coarse fulcrum
#

it's just plain silly burning your money for "first time experience"

languid flint
#

It’ll be fun

coarse fulcrum
#

Are you planning to do some modeling on blender or smth?

languid flint
#

Need less delay in main game, need better frame gen, need better looking driver ui, need ray tracing for the first time

coarse fulcrum
#

What game even

rotund scaffold
#

what are your specs rn

languid flint
coarse fulcrum
languid flint
#

|| val and tarkov ||

rotund scaffold
#

it can be

#

and one of them is

coarse fulcrum
#

oh some shooter

#

eh not cringe

dawn kraken
coarse fulcrum
#

i play alot of cs2

languid flint
#

Some CS too but I don’t play it as much

rotund scaffold
#

but like i said, what are your specs rn

coarse fulcrum
#

tell this man your current specs

languid flint
#

Wrong thread

#

Forgot I deleted it

rotund scaffold
languid flint
#

6700xt and a little 5 12600k

rotund scaffold
#

oh so you need a whole system

languid flint
#

It’s nothing bad but I don’t wanna run jt anymore

coarse fulcrum
#

why not

rotund scaffold
#

i was planning on cpu upgrade

coarse fulcrum
#

sell your current pc

#

and increase your budget

rotund scaffold
#

^^

dawn kraken
#

1200 usd budget would be much better

#

mabye 1300

languid flint
#

I can spare 200 more

#

But that’s it

#

Lol

#

I’m poor

dawn kraken
#

could actually get a singnifigant performance uplift

coarse fulcrum
#

just stick with amd and you'll thank us

#

Trust me

#

nvidia is gonna dissapoint you

#

maybe move to am5

languid flint
#

Next holiday I’ll be getting stuff is Christmas

#

Can someone tell me why some dude suggested a micro ATX board with a 4070

dawn kraken
#

if u reuse ur current case u can cut this down to under 1.2k

dawn kraken
#

whats wrong with that

languid flint
#

I’ve never seen anyone with that config

rotund scaffold
languid flint
#

Ever

#

Or suggested that

dawn kraken
dawn kraken
#

pretty hard to tell if u have a beefy gpu

rotund scaffold
languid flint
#

shorter than ATX

#

Question mark

dawn kraken
#

yes

#

thats it

rotund scaffold
#

hence "micro"

languid flint
#

but same functionality

dawn kraken
#

yep

languid flint
#

and that’s it

coarse fulcrum
#

i will keep my suggestion short and simple

dawn kraken
#

its just a bit smaller

rotund scaffold
#

if it was different it wouldnt be called atx

languid flint
#

Same everything

coarse fulcrum
#

get an am5 motherboard 💀

dawn kraken
languid flint
#

Idk why I thought bigger was better

dawn kraken
languid flint
#

It’s def better looking but that’s it

dawn kraken
#

if u reuse ur case and keep it within budget

rotund scaffold
dawn kraken
#

technically u could use the amd stock cooler and keep the nicer case but honestly dont lol

languid flint
rotund scaffold
#

tbh you could probably reuse your current power supply and case, that would bring my build underbudget too (also used card)

rotund scaffold
dawn kraken
#

dont

languid flint
#

Not that dude w allat extra money

dawn kraken
#

i do not trust whatever psu he has

rotund scaffold
#

oh?

languid flint
#

me or t

dawn kraken
#

most people have pretty shit power supplies

#

just get a new one

languid flint
#

gf1 80+ gold isn’t horrible

coarse fulcrum
dawn kraken
languid flint
#

For what I have rn

#

Lemme get it

dawn kraken
rotund scaffold
languid flint
#

That’s what I age

#

Have

#

Also no RGB would be appreciated

rotund scaffold
#

no rgb???

#

thats a new one

languid flint
#

no I don’t want an fps boost

#

either no RGB or a single color like white

rotund scaffold
#

you can just turn the lights off though

languid flint
#

Can I now

dawn kraken
dawn kraken
rotund scaffold
#

fym "ew no"

dawn kraken
languid flint
rotund scaffold
#

...fym

languid flint
#

I was talking to this blud here

#

Y’all think Jawa is an ok site to buy GPUs off of

#

Or shall I stick with the classic eBay

sage sage
#

i like the idea of jawa, but the selection is going to be worse because of adoption

languid flint
#

Tf does that mean

sage sage
#

as in its very new so less people are using it

dawn kraken
# rotund scaffold ...fym

stupid cpu choice, terrible cooler choice, overpriced motherboard, ig the memory is fine... but theres a cheaper kit thats the same. ssd is garbage, qlc flash has a third of the lifetime of other options. that 3070 is an insanely bad price. i guess the psu is ok? theres cheaper ones that are also good tho lol

languid flint
#

I think

#

I remember

#

Yes

#

U r

#

Ah I see what ur saying

fading moat
sage sage
#

i deal with a lot of threads so i wouldnt remember

dawn kraken
#

like 500usd

#

or need to render

fading moat
dawn kraken
#

ehhh

#

not rlly worth the power draw if ur just gaming

fading moat
#

4070 performance with more vram

rotund scaffold
dawn kraken
fading moat
languid flint
#

Found a used 3070 for 300, I’ll take it (1% scam risk)

dawn kraken
rotund scaffold
#

its still good for the price

dawn kraken
# fading moat ?

what are you going to use 24gb of vram for on a card best used for 1440p at most

dawn kraken
rotund scaffold
#

i mean it is

dawn kraken
#

no

#

it isnt

rotund scaffold
#

why you try to beef with me every time

dawn kraken
#

wdym every time lol, you just dont know what you are talking about

languid flint
#

24gb seems excessive, I have 12 rn and it runs perfectly on everything

rotund scaffold
languid flint
#

I wouldn’t know tho cuz I haven’t tried 24

dawn kraken
dawn kraken
rotund scaffold
#

average reaction gif user

languid flint
#

Oh nvm 3070 has 8gb of memory

dawn kraken
dawn kraken
languid flint
#

I’m running 1440

dawn kraken
#

then you would want at least 12

#

like the build i sent

languid flint
#

ye

dawn kraken
#

that u ignored

languid flint
#

I looked at it

#

People are sending links left and right

dawn kraken
dawn kraken
languid flint
#

I put it in my bookmarks

#

I’m seeing used ones for 450

#

But eBay is a sketch marketplace indeed

#

Like Facebook marketplace

sage sage
#

nah ebay is great

#

their buyer protection is 👌

languid flint
#

Is it

dawn kraken
#

yeah

languid flint
#

Who buys galax GPUs

dawn kraken
#

they are fine

languid flint
#

never seen it in anyone’s build

dawn kraken
#

:p

languid flint
#

Ever

#

galax is a nobody

dawn kraken
#

not rlly

#

they just arent as common cuz they arent usually one of the cheaper models

languid flint
#

Damn eBay money back guarantee

#

Can I just claim my item hasn’t arrived

#

When I get it

#

And get my money back too

#

😂

sage sage
#

galax has some extreme overclocking cards

#

the hof 4090 has 2 12vhpwr connections

languid flint
#

12 volt horsepower connections

sage sage
#

(hall of fame)

languid flint
#

too broke for that anyhow

#

Never getting it

sage sage
#

for a gpu, sort by lowest price on pcpartpicker lol

languid flint
#

Free money method

dawn kraken
languid flint
#

I’m yapping about diff companies

#

I shall keep this in my bookmarks bar

dawn kraken
#

Dont

dawn kraken
#

If u wait more than a few days to buy prices will be different

#

And the list will probably end up being more expensive

languid flint
#

I’m not selling my thing right now

dawn kraken
#

Prices and availability change

languid flint
#

Sometime in the future

dawn kraken
#

If you dont have the damn money dont ask for a build

#

Smh

languid flint
#

Did I say that

#

Princess peach

#

I don’t think so

sage sage
#

dont ask for a list that youll build not right now

#

because parts will change

dawn kraken
#

Are you or are you not buying
