[fallen schooner]

an observation if you will.

.>

[lone pond]

A possible occurrence maybe?

[fallen schooner]

Yeah lets go with that...

[lone pond]

lol

[fallen schooner]

😄

[dreamy haven]

unless 3rd gen Ryzen has a neural-link for me to plug directly into the Matrix...I'll be happy with my 2700X for a while

[lone pond]

lol

[fallen schooner]

yeah if you have a 2700x already

might not be a good enough reason to upgrade

[dreamy haven]

yeah

[fallen schooner]

but I'm just a wimpy 1600

first gen pleeb

😉

[wraith pasture]

just get an intel

[dreamy haven]

that's what I upgraded from previously lol

[wet briar]

i've really had no issues with the 8350, and i hae a 1060 gtx, the only game i struggle to play is Division 2. and watch dogs 2.

[fallen schooner]

theo

[wraith pasture]

[fallen schooner]

🗡

[wraith pasture]

IT JUST WORKS

[fallen schooner]

lol.

I think everyone struggles to play Division 2

honestly

lol

[dreamy haven]

lol

[wet briar]

true

[lone pond]

hey before this setup with the FX 8350, I was running an Intel Q6600 with a GTX 6800 and 2GB of ram

[fallen schooner]

grats on the upgrade 😄

[wraith pasture]

I have a FX-8350 in my old build, it definitely bottle necks high end GPUs especially in high physics based games.

[dreamy haven]

you mean GeForce 6800

[fallen schooner]

that's a huge improvement

[dreamy haven]

heh

[lone pond]

ya that thing

[fallen schooner]

my son runs a 8350

no high end gpu

750ti

runs minecraft and youtube,. thats all he needs.

he is 4.

[wraith pasture]

FX-8350 /w 1080Ti @ 1440p on battlefield 1 was 50-70 fps, 7700K set upgrade and it hit 140+ fps constantly D:

[wet briar]

lol

[fallen schooner]

that is such an off combo Theo

lol

[wraith pasture]

yeah.... i bought the gpu before i upgraded everything...

[fallen schooner]

lol

[wet briar]

you can get a good decent ryzen build for like 400 bucks.

[fallen schooner]

you did it backwards 😛

Hynlerokos yeah, super cheap now

[wet briar]

my buddy fully upgraded from the 8350 to a ryzen 7, 16gb ram, dont recall the mobo, and ssd for 630.

[fallen schooner]

huge upgrade 😮

[wet briar]

yeah

[fallen schooner]

try doing that with intel

THEO.

[wet briar]

i was so jelly i helped him build it at my house.

we went to the Microcenter and got all the parts.

[fallen schooner]

ugh

so jelly

[wet briar]

drove like 2 hours out of our way to get it.

[fallen schooner]

well.. I guess it'd good I don't live close to a MC.

Wife would divorce me.

[wet briar]

LMFAO

[fallen schooner]

i'd be just like her

[wet briar]

ikr

[fallen schooner]

"BABE IT WAS ON SALE THO"

every. other. day.

[lone pond]

I don't play things like Battlefield or LoL or even WoW, I am a simmer, I fly P3D/FSX on my computer so my issue is clock speed, FSX does not use multi core, it will only use a single core so the higher the single core speed the better the rendering. P3D will use multi core, but doesn't use the CUP as much as FSX. So I want to upgrade from this RX 550 to something that will produce better but not have as much of a bottleneck than if I went with say a 1660ti

[wet briar]

bro i really want the valve index......

and i been playing a lot of racing sims with my g920

[fallen schooner]

You can has, for the price of one kidney.

[wet briar]

thats where my p.c. struggles so i just use my spare xbox to play forza 7 and horizion 4. is amazing.

[fast swallow]

lol

[fallen schooner]

now you'll get bothered with all the tech questions!

😄

[fast swallow]

lol

IDC

someone should put you in techie too

so you have both tags

[wraith pasture]

[fallen schooner]

I aM

[fast swallow]

i know lol

that's why i said it

[fallen schooner]

I see.

atleast I'm not pink

😛

[fast swallow]

yeah

you're no man unless your pink

[fallen schooner]

I saw that.

;p

[fast swallow]

lol

[jovial moth]

anyone else getting horrible lag with discord

?

[fast swallow]

yeah

it's bad

[fallen schooner]

haha

[jovial moth]

like AWFUL

I can't use it on my phone

[fallen schooner]

What about a ReaperLeaper

[fast swallow]

it too 20 minutes for discord to load the people who are in this server on the who's online list

[jovial moth]

last i saw was "you should have both tags"

[fallen schooner]

wow

that was so like 4mins ago

[near summit]

My friend wants to upgrade his PC, it has an AMD A8-5500 APU, what gpu should he get so it isn’t going to be severely bottlenecked? His budget is $200 I was thinking an RX 570

[green agate]

Gtx 1660

[sour geode]

I think gtx titan x would be fine

[near summit]

Both of those are out of the budget oof

[fallen schooner]

That's a pretty outdated cpu

[near summit]

Yeah he knows but he can’t afford a whole new system

[fickle tartan]

You can get can rx 570, pretty good deal for the performance

[quasi nexus]

I have a 580 and it’s been serving me well for a long time

[green agate]

Does a gtx 1660 ti work well with the i7 4770k?

[sacred trout]

Is a 2060 good or what’s better for around the same price or more?

[delicate knoll]

Don’t see why a 1660 would have any issues on a 4th gen I7. I run a 1080 on my 4770k and have no issues.

[shadow willow]

unrelated but why cant i chat in general?

[sinful bobcat]

Try now @shadow willow 😊

[shy lintel]

I cant chat either

[spiral willow]

Did I wonz da glitter pc??????

[tawny siren]

Is my graphics card amd a8 vision 5700hd the reason why I lag in games?

[fallen schooner]

@brisk bay try now

[empty parrot]

which one is better an RX 580 or GTX 1070 ti

the Rx is 8gb

[karmic cove]

1070 ti for sure

[empty parrot]

really?

[karmic cove]

Yeah

[empty parrot]

for for the value

which is better

[karmic cove]

For value?

Ummm

[empty parrot]

cuz the Rx is 180

[karmic cove]

Depends I guess on other factors

[empty parrot]

ok

[karmic cove]

And what performance you want

And your budget

[empty parrot]

I just want something better than my 950

xd

[karmic cove]

In that case go with the rx 580 😂

It's a very noticeable upgrade from a 950 so

[empty parrot]

haha ok. I have been able to get 100 frames on apex with it, but I would like to play bo4

ahah

[karmic cove]

Yeah that should work

[empty parrot]

so that means I have to upgrade

REEE

[karmic cove]

Probably 😂

[empty parrot]

alright thanks for the help mi amigo

[karmic cove]

Np man!

[valid crypt]

Price vs performance: RX 580 or GTX 1660?

Am looking at replacing the GPU in my girlfriend's rig and want something adequate for light gaming

[delicate knoll]

Depends on the brand of 580. But I would still lean to a 1660

[sour geode]

1660 prolly

[valid crypt]

das what I was thinking, too

till a friend suggested the 570

[jovial meteor]

Man budget wise im seeing local 580s for $100-130

[valid crypt]

but tbh if I'm shelling out for a 570, might as well go 580

[valid crypt]

I have this thing about buying used

lol I dont

[jovial meteor]

I don't blame you.

[fallen schooner]

should give her your 2080ti

[valid crypt]

And this convo wouldn't even be happening if the 580 wasnt a 2 year old card

[fallen schooner]

don't skimp out on the g/f

she'll know.

[valid crypt]

🗡

[fallen schooner]

right clicks your name.

[valid crypt]

I can't put in enough 🗡 in this response

[jovial meteor]

You're nicer than I am. My wife's getting a new ryzen g series.

[valid crypt]

I am indeed nice, since she let me splurge on a 2080ti

[jovial meteor]

Yeah she didn't know the price of my computer. I kept that a bit hidden.

$6200 later.

"hey babe what are these credit card statements" oh nothing.

[oblique cypress]

lol

responsbilE

[jovial meteor]

Pssh, bought Christmas presents for the kids first!

Then bought myself one. Some.

[oblique cypress]

lol

[fallen schooner]

lol

[jovial meteor]

👍

[errant wyvern]

Omg

That’s my dream

[jovial meteor]

The haf XB is just the test bench. Works great. Think it looks alright as a case too.

[fallen schooner]

am

am... I in box heaven

[jovial meteor]

Built the 2080 ti/i9 for myself, this was without any of the ekwb stuff. Odds and end stuff as well I got after. 2070/8700k for my little brother.

[fallen schooner]

nice

[errant wyvern]

I mean I have a ryzen 5 and a red dragon 580 sooo no comparison

[static hamlet]

Hi I’m kind of a noob at this stuff anybody willing to teach my some stuff about computer parts?

[jovial meteor]

Gladly. Shoot me a message

Or ask her

[static hamlet]

Ok thanks

[jovial meteor]

Here *

Either way.

[static hamlet]

Oh alright

So what are the basics?

[errant wyvern]

Processor motherboard ram graphics card power supply hard drive

Case

[static hamlet]

Alright I’m guessing those are all the parts of three computer?

The*

[errant wyvern]

Yah that’s the basics

[static hamlet]

Any recommendations?

[errant wyvern]

To start what’s your budget

[jovial meteor]

And whatre you using the PC for

[errant wyvern]

True

[static hamlet]

Streaming

Budget I’ll say 2k

[jovial meteor]

Gaming/streaming or just streaming?

[static hamlet]

Gaming streaming

[errant wyvern]

That’s good for a first pc

[jovial meteor]

Great machine for that budget.

[static hamlet]

Yep

[jovial meteor]

You can do a whole lot with it honestly.

[errant wyvern]

Yah definitely

Probably i7

[static hamlet]

I’ve been watching a lot of this YouTube name kristoferyee he’s been doing a lot of cool stuff

[fallen schooner]

for you first, I'd watch a few Jays2cents or GamersNexus on Youtube.

[jovial meteor]

2070 and an i9

What he said.

[static hamlet]

2070 is the graphics card am I right?

[errant wyvern]

Yah

[fallen schooner]

they have the most info broken down into easy to understand videos

[static hamlet]

Ok

[fallen schooner]

and many videos

[static hamlet]

Oh thank you for the recommendation

[jovial meteor]

Great first video by gamers nexus is vrm anatomy

[errant wyvern]

i9 is the processor

[jovial meteor]

Motherboard anatomy in general.

[static hamlet]

Ok

[jovial meteor]

Jayztwocents has plenty of how to videos both air and watercooling.

[fallen schooner]

so do homework, watch some videos, then you can get back to us on what parts you want to go with :)(

[errant wyvern]

32GB of ram would be great

[jovial meteor]

There's just such a wide variety it's hard to give specifics. You ever need assistant like lambo said, come on back with a parts list and someone will definitely be glad to help you out.

[static hamlet]

Is an i9 processor much better than a i7 because some youtubers use i7 for most of their builds

[errant wyvern]

Yah

[fallen schooner]

i7 is more affordable

[errant wyvern]

It’s just more expensive

[fallen schooner]

that's why you see most of them use it

[jovial meteor]

Ryzens 2700x is priced absolutely insane right now

[static hamlet]

Alright I appreciate your help! I’ll go do my "homework” now! Thank you!

[errant wyvern]

Have a great day

[fallen schooner]

and they'll get even more crazy once third gen pops

pretty excited for that.

[errant wyvern]

Yah

[jovial meteor]

My next build is gonna be a Threadripper in a mini or micro scenario. Super excited. Wish I did it before these last two. Gotta pay some stuff off before I can do anything. :(

Guess I'll move this to general. ✌️

[errant wyvern]

Ha soo expensive but sooo worth it

[static hamlet]

May I ask, did any of you buy a pre built PC when you first started

[errant wyvern]

No building my first right now

[static hamlet]

Oh

[oblique cypress]

going to build my first after birthday this month

[static hamlet]

You seem like a pro though

[oblique cypress]

the amazon tax is gonna be so goddamn annoying

its 51 dollars of tax are you f ing kidding me cmon

[errant wyvern]

Who

[oblique cypress]

idk

[ember adder]

How does the RTX 2060 compare to the rx570?

Oh wait yt

[fallen schooner]

lol

[oblique cypress]

lol

2060 obv outperforms it lmao

[fallen schooner]

by far.

[dusky mesa]

Yeah

[spiral willow]

My new mumble rap name: Horsey or Ho-C?

[dusky mesa]

the latter

[lone pond]

tbruh moment

tbruh momenttbruh moment

tbruh moment

tbruh moment

[swift wasp]

My graphics card warning light is on and idk why there is no issue with the card or cooling can anyone help?

[exotic river]

Y'all mind buying me a 1080ti?

[astral jay]

If it was only that easy 😩

[exotic river]

Damn it be like that

[dusky mesa]

I'd just get a 2070 my guy

[astral jay]

Facts

[exotic river]

I really need to upgrade my CPU since my 1060ti is being bottlenecked

😖😖😖

[real fossil]

I need to really get a better PC than the POS I have

[astral jay]

That’s the fuckin tea

[exotic river]

😕

Damn

What's your guys price range for a PC?

[dusky mesa]

Tbh I'd be okay with an 750-1000 price range

[exotic river]

I see, that sounds decent

But the monitor is a big factor too

[real fossil]

I agree with that price range

[dawn crescent]

Depends on what ur playing and what settings u want to play on

[dusky mesa]

Fair enough, but that seem's like the most reasonable price point

[astral jay]

I can give you a pc building site that will help you with what exactly you’re looking for and the best parts at the best prices if you guys want a link to that

[exotic river]

PC parts picker?

[astral jay]

True true

You already know how it is

[exotic river]

It's really good

[dusky mesa]

I'm not too picky when it comes to monitors

except I do lean towards ultrawides

[exotic river]

Well it's also to get them from Amazon, never go to Best buy

Good*

[dusky mesa]

Otherwise, you can get a gaming monitor with a 75hz refresh rate

for about 120 bucks

[exotic river]

Yea, but long time would go for 144hz

[dusky mesa]

fair point

[exotic river]

Just to be safe, also feels so good at 144hz if you want a $750 gaming PC

[dusky mesa]

I'm trying for a graphic design/illustration career so I tend to prioritize monitors that have good color over high refresh rates.

[exotic river]

Oh okay that is a different story

[dusky mesa]

yeah

[exotic river]

Samsung has some good color display monitors

[dusky mesa]

right

LG also has good color and it's what I'm using atm

[exotic river]

Yea LG is also good, usually those are for color which is what you want

[dusky mesa]

next monitor I'm getting though is one of those Huion Kamvas Pros

drawing monitor if you didn't know

[cloud basin]

I payed 500 for a 1,200 rig i7 8700 GTX 1060 Alienware 6GB edition. It’s an Alienware R7 Aurora

[polar parcel]

I’m bouta slide on a predator

[karmic cove]

D3 how though

That's awesome

[cloud basin]

Have you ever heard of offer up @karmic cove

[karmic cove]

Yeah lol

[cloud basin]

That’s where I bought it for 500

[karmic cove]

That is awesome

Well played

[cloud basin]

Then I went all out with my mouse keyboard and monitor. HP 25x 144Hz monitor With -15 to 50 degree angle adjustments and AMD-Freesync for vertical display mode. I have a Logitech G512 Carbon and a Logitech G502 mouse. It’s amazing

[karmic cove]

Nice

Isn't 144hz beautiful

[fickle tartan]

@cloud basin is offer up safe, bout to try it out if it is

[karmic cove]

It was the best upgrade I made

[cloud basin]

Imma bout to get a 240Hz soon and @fickle tartan yes it is

I’m looking at a new GPU too. Maybe 1080ti or a 2080

[fast swallow]

1080ti is the same price as a 2080ti right now

Or at least last time I looked

[karmic cove]

Dude I wish I could afford something like that

I only have a 1050ti right now

[fast swallow]

I got my 1080ti's when they were $600

[cloud basin]

I’m about to make an upgrade just need to find the right price per product range. I want the most bang for my buck. I have a great rig now but soon I need new graphics soon I’m a professional gamer so graphics performance is mandatory

[echo kraken]

offerup is only really worth if you live in a larger area

I live in a smaller town/area and there's no good deals within 1-2hrs driving distance

[cloud basin]

I live in a huge city so I get good deals all the time lol

[fast swallow]

The Vega 64 is only slightly less than a 1080ti

[echo kraken]

Yeah, one of the main reasons I want to live somewhere near new york, cali, florida, or vegas

[cloud basin]

What’s the 1080ti if you do know?

I’m right next to philly

[fast swallow]

Nvidia GTX 1080ti?

[cloud basin]

Yeah

[fast swallow]

What do you mean what's a 1080ti

It's a graphics card.....

[cloud basin]

No I mean the price lol sorry should have explained

[fast swallow]

Or do you mean specs?

Price

[cloud basin]

Yeah the price

[fast swallow]

Last time I saw $1,200+

[karmic cove]

No way

[echo kraken]

used 1080ti's go for like 525-550 rn

[fast swallow]

I haven't looked in a little over a month

[karmic cove]

Not for a 1080ti

[echo kraken]

1200 is new 2080ti price range

[karmic cove]

Yeah

[fast swallow]

Heh. They're about the same performance as a 2080ti

[cloud basin]

I just looked there between 1,100 to 1,500

[echo kraken]

1080ti's match with 2080 not 2080ti

[karmic cove]

Seriously?

[fast swallow]

The Ai cores are the main difference

[karmic cove]

That's insane

They should be like around 700 imo

[cloud basin]

The RTX and GTX are around the same performance if used in the correct rig

[echo kraken]

Buy one used, took me 30 seconds to find 3 posts selling em for under $600 on r/hardwareswap

[fast swallow]

The only time a 2080ti is better than a 1080ti is when the game is designed around using RTX

[karmic cove]

Nice

[cloud basin]

Sweet thanks for that

[fast swallow]

And then you disable RTX

It'll use the Ai cores

[echo kraken]

When you disable rtx a 1080ti will preform similarly to a 2080, 2080ti usually beats it

[fast swallow]

But not for Ray tracing

[cloud basin]

The games I play aren’t generally RTX based

[hybrid hollow]

i found a 1080 for sale on offer up for like $400

but used...

quick little check, 520-600 range

the 600 one is only cause he's insuring the package through the shipping provider which'll usually add 30-50

[fast swallow]

The 2080 is worse than the 1080ti

[cloud basin]

My worry is I’ll bottleneck my cpu with an op gpu

[fast swallow]

Lol

What CPU?

Actually what motherboard?

[cloud basin]

It’s an Alienwares prebuilt one designed for the R7

[fast swallow]

That's fine

[cloud basin]

But it’s an i7 8700 3.20

[fast swallow]

What CPU then?

Lol

No

You don't have to worry

I was expecting like a 5th gen

[echo kraken]

you said you have a i7 8700 with a gtx 1060

[cloud basin]

Alright thanks. My one friend told me I can’t go above 1070 because of the cpu I trusted him because he worked at geek squad before

[echo kraken]

if anything the gpu is the bottleneck

[cloud basin]

Yeah currently that’s my issue that’s why I wanna upgrade

[echo kraken]

you just said your bottleneck was the cpu with an op gpu

"My worry is I’ll bottleneck my cpu with an op gpu" am I just reading this wrong

[cloud basin]

That was a worry of mine not my current situation

[echo kraken]

oh shoot

[fast swallow]

You have to worry about your motherboard mostly

The motherboard is the bottleneck

But

[echo kraken]

I just read it again my bad, you said you worry you will bottleneck it

[fast swallow]

You have a newer cpu

So

[karmic cove]

The cpu isn't the issue

I honestly think you'd be fine

[fast swallow]

That means your motherboard has a 3.0+ pcie x16 slot

[cloud basin]

If that comes down to it I’ll rebuild it with my NZXT case

[fast swallow]

Naw

You have no bottleneck

If it was pcie 2.0

You would

[cloud basin]

Alright thanks

[echo kraken]

are you sure it's the r7 aurora?

[fast swallow]

You'll notice a huge difference depending on the graphics card you have now

[cloud basin]

Yeah. I have all my paperwork and warranty to prove that

[echo kraken]

I just looked up the specs and the r7 aurora should have an i7 8700k and a gtx 1080 or 1080ti

[fast swallow]

He already purchased it

[echo kraken]

nvm, apparently there's a bunch of different specced ones

[cloud basin]

It’s an older one. The one I have is an i7 8700 it came with GTX 1060 with 8 GB but I upgraded the ram to 16 GB 3000mhz Corsair

[echo kraken]

just found another one that has 8700 and a 1070ti

[fast swallow]

If you customize it

You can get whatever you want

Like I did

[cloud basin]

I have 1,200 to get a new GPU I just don’t know what I wanna go for at this point just waiting for the right price drop or deal

[echo kraken]

I'd say get a used 1080ti for ~550

[fast swallow]

Or a new one

I find used hardware to be sketchy

[echo kraken]

Paypal will cover it if you get scammed, and don't do anything through non reputable sites

use something like r/hardwareswap

[fast swallow]

I treat all my hardware like a baby, but I know other people drop GPU's

@modest reef

Lol

You know who I am talking about

[echo kraken]

Some of the parts in my pc would be considered adults, they've been used way past their relevancy

[cloud basin]

I’m looking at the inside right now and they have SLI trays installed already I may just SLI a 1080

[echo kraken]

Don't sli

[elfin knoll]

ahh

[echo kraken]

There are very few games that benefit from sli, it would be better to get one high end card then sli 2 1080's

[fast swallow]

Sli doesn't work on every game

And when it doesn't it's like a massive rave party in game with shadows or other fun things

I have 2 1080ti's

They're almost never in sli

Because it doesn't work in 80% of games

Or more

[jade trail]

Here's the current setup on a PC I got for free
It doesn't have a proper/dedicated graphics card though, so what would y'all recommend?
Or should I just save up and build something newer?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WJGpTB

[elfin knoll]

how do i get this transparent thing off my screen?

[tame flume]

WINDOWS 7?!?!

[elfin knoll]

no 10

it is a transparent discord and it wont go away

[tame flume]

im talking about what @jade trail sent

[elfin knoll]

oh

[fast swallow]

@jade trail upgrade to windows 10

And then any graphics card will work with that build fine

[tame flume]

wow, $320

[fast swallow]

Basically how much do you want to spend on a graphics card at that point.

That's $320 with some parts not available

[echo kraken]

I'd say a 1060 6gb/rx 580 8gb for low end up to a 1070ti would work well with that

[tame flume]

well yeah but still

[fast swallow]

Meaning it's probably a $800 build or close to it

[echo kraken]

he said he got it for free lol

[fast swallow]

No

1660ti

[tame flume]

NOO
they have no use in this world

[echo kraken]

and all you gotta do is pirate windows 10 and a key

16 series are dumb

[fast swallow]

No

[tame flume]

i think he did that just to rage us

[fast swallow]

16 series are awesome

[tame flume]

i

[fast swallow]

Because RTX is a joke

[echo kraken]

1650 is shit, and 1660 isn't worth since you can get a used 1060 6gb used for $120

[tame flume]

ok rtx is a joke but 16 series isnt any better

[fast swallow]

When RTX released several cards literally blew up

[dusky mesa]

I mean I'd honestly get a 2017

[echo kraken]

I never said get an rtx

[dusky mesa]

2070*

[fast swallow]

@echo kraken the 1660 is not a 1060

[echo kraken]

ik

[fast swallow]

Hardware is 100% different

[echo kraken]

It's pretty darn close in preformance tho

[fast swallow]

Nope

[cloud basin]

What’s better 1660 or 1060

[fast swallow]

It can keep up to a 1070ti

[tame flume]

the 16 series is an absolute joke and makes no sense naming wise

[echo kraken]

1660 is better

buuuut

not worth the extra price imo

[dusky mesa]

If you're going budget just go AMD

[fast swallow]

1660 is way better. Newer chipset. Faster memory

[jade trail]

huh. okay, then.
I wasn't sure if I could get a newer card like a 1660 or 2060 and be good
or if I was going to have to stick with something like a 1060 or rx580 like Puddles suggested.
does upgrading to win10 make that much of a difference when it comes to graphics cards?

[fast swallow]

Uses less power

Gaming

[dusky mesa]

the 16 series is iffy

[fast swallow]

And windows 10

Is a must

[dusky mesa]

hence the debate between these guys about it

[echo kraken]

1660 is better, I never said it wasn't...I'm saying the price is a joke.
$270 for a mid range gpu, no thanks

[tame flume]

i just look at the bottom of my screen "@ everyone is typing"

[echo kraken]

I'll be fine with the 1060 6gb for $120 used

[fast swallow]

Windows 7 will no longer be supported in less than 8 months

[dusky mesa]

If you want to try the new RTX stuff I'd get a 2060, or if you want some better performance, a 2070

[fast swallow]

January 2020 it's done

[echo kraken]

I finally made the switch to win10 because of that

[dusky mesa]

RIP Windows 7

[echo kraken]

I like win7 better, at least the feel of it, but no support is bad for everyone

[dusky mesa]

it ins't even like Win10 is the worst thing ever

[cloud basin]

Is it possible to liquid cool an Alienware?

[fast swallow]

1660ti can run most games full quality

If not all

[dusky mesa]

I mean we all remember that one mistake

[echo kraken]

1660ti costs even more tho

[fast swallow]

At 1080p

[jade trail]

yes, I'm aware about win7 end-of-service
that's why if I do decide to just build something new, it'll have win10 on it.
if I get a graphics card for this thing, then I'll likely just use it again in the new PC that I'd eventually build.

[echo kraken]

never buy an actual copy of windows

[fast swallow]

Then @jade trail choose a new card

16 series or AMD

[dusky mesa]

I'd go AMD

[fast swallow]

The Vega 64 can go for around $600

[dusky mesa]

Yet it's moreso their cards benefit me more

[fast swallow]

And it's powerful

[dusky mesa]

wait a new Vega 64 goes for 400 now

[fast swallow]

I went Nvidia because I was tired of all this Nvidia built gaming

[echo kraken]

If you have an older system I would highly reccomend buying used parts, you can get some great deals

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/bkso41/usaca_h_parts_including_gigabyte_gtx_1080/
like this guys selling a 1080 for $350

[fast swallow]

He wants something he can keep

And move to a new system

That's why I recommend new

[dusky mesa]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814932031&Description=vega 64&cm_re=vega_64-_-14-932-031-_-Product just don't get this Vega

[jade trail]

what's wrong with it, Mars?

[echo kraken]

As long as they weren't mined on inside an oven or got the shit end of the silicon lottery then a used 10 series should be fine for quite a bit longer

[dusky mesa]

Gigabyte was smoking coke when they made these and nearly all of these cards are defective

[jade trail]

oof. gotcha

[dusky mesa]

It's even worse with the Vega 56 version

[fast swallow]

Sounds like the 2080ti explosion issue

Lol

[dusky mesa]

Well the difference is that most of the cards are overpriced paper weights while the 2080ti's are an act of terrorism

[fast swallow]

It's funny. The 1080ti

Is better than the 2080

But it's not close to the 2080ti

Yet new. It's the same price as the 2080ti

[echo kraken]

because nvidia is like apple, they release something and it stays that price

they keep it the same price so that you want to buy the new thing cause it's better

[fast swallow]

Yeah

[jovial meteor]

I still wonder if paying $1500 for my card was worth it. Considering two kids kills my gaming time.

[dusky mesa]

Yikes

[echo kraken]

I mean you could always give it to me, I'd make good use of it

lol

[solemn surge]

Sup my disssle dogs

[dusky mesa]

You have a profession that needs that power or do you just like gaming?

Hello lewis

[jovial meteor]

I'm a Telecom PM. Not necessarily. More the 9900k than the GPU. I wanted a top tier card so I pulled the trigger.

[dusky mesa]

oof

[jovial meteor]

Figured the precious time I have to spend gaming is worth it

[solemn surge]

Ohhhhhhh yeeet

[dusky mesa]

I would've save a few hundred and bite the bullet for a few lost frames for a 2070 or a normal 2080

[jovial meteor]

My one daughter is at my sister's tonight so I've been on since four. I don't even know what to do with myself.

The messed up thing is I had the 2080

And sent it back and got the ti.

[dusky mesa]

OOF

oh ok

That isn't as bad

[jovial meteor]

Then I'm like I've done this why not pick up another?

After the Threadripper it's probably going to happen. 😂

I'm just delusional

[dusky mesa]

Ngl Threadripper 3 scares me, assuming if it's coming out with the rest of 3rd gen Ryzen

[jovial meteor]

In all honesty it was an investment. Going to be doing time lapse watercooled builds and uploading them. Have a few hours of footage I need to edit down. Hoping it goes somewhere

[dusky mesa]

well post em here once you get that footage edited

[jovial meteor]

Will do!

[dusky mesa]

Since I'm going to College, I'm just gonna do one big hardware update this summer and just get a Radeon 7 and a Ryzen 3rd Gen CPU assuming if it comes out soon

[echo kraken]

i3 2100 gang lmao

[dusky mesa]

lol

[echo kraken]

Feelbadman

[dusky mesa]

Ah it's all good

[echo kraken]

Somehow it doesn't do to bas with the games I play tho

Paired emit with a 1050 and upgraded ram to 16gb a few months ago

[dusky mesa]

Well at least you can play a few games

[echo kraken]

Yeah stop spamming jeez

[solemn surge]

Did y’all enter in the contest

[dusky mesa]

Yeah

[echo kraken]

Yeah, hoping like hell i win

[solemn surge]

Light side or dark side

[dusky mesa]

Doubt any of us will win, but I'd be nice if one of us did

Dark

[echo kraken]

I chose dark for the ryzen and case looks

I prefer the sleek light theme more (in general), but the dark case was really nice

[solemn surge]

I just need a good pc for my oculus rift

[dusky mesa]

I Preferred the look of the light case, but I did the Darkfor the Ryzen as well

Oh nice

[solemn surge]

🍆

[dusky mesa]

Whatchu running with that rift atm?

[echo kraken]

And k really didnt put much thought into it cause I didnt think I'd win, still dont really

But hey, its be awesome if I did

[dusky mesa]

Yeah I checked the odds when I applied and it was .2%

It ought to be worse now

[solemn surge]

For dark or light

[dusky mesa]

Dark

[solemn surge]

I chose light cause I thought more people would chose dark

[dusky mesa]

Well the Light Build had a 2070

[echo kraken]

I think more people are gonna chose light, better specs and an aio

[solemn surge]

I gtg bu Byer

[echo kraken]

Why the black picture

[dusky mesa]

Good night good sir

Yeah it looks like you had a finger over the camera

[solemn surge]

Good night sir Olive

[stone fable]

Hello, I’m new to pcs a building, are the amd reference cards like the Vega 64 good cards or should I buy NVIDIA

[dusky mesa]

Well it all come down to what offers the best performance at the best price

[stone fable]

Yeah true

[dusky mesa]

AMD is a bit volatile when it comes to pricing whereas Nvidia will stick to a product's price for most of the shelflife

[stone fable]

Okay

[dusky mesa]

plus do you want ray-tracing, or a re you interested in general performance

[stone fable]

What’s Ray tracing

Like I said I’m new

[dusky mesa]

it's a fancy graphical effect that adds more dynamic lighting and reflections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY0W3MkZFs4 this video is a decent example of what it's like

[stone fable]

Okay thank you

[dusky mesa]

As of right now, it's exclusive to Nvidia 20 series graphics gards

yeah np

[stone fable]

Got ya

[glass perch]

[tawny siren]

How do i know if i can put a better graphics card in my pc

[echo kraken]

What do you mean by that

[tawny siren]

Like how do i know if itll fit and it be bette4r

[oblique cypress]

just know your case

[tawny siren]

hmm could i send it two you and you know?

[oblique cypress]

i mean the dimensions are prob in the description of the site

[tawny siren]

ok so then look at ther graphics card dimensions and I should know?

[oblique cypress]

both the gpu and the case dimensions for the max gpu length it supports

[wraith pasture]

find the card length on the mfr site, find the gpu length clearance on the case mfr site, keep in mind any radiators/andor/fans that may make that case gpu length shorter

[oblique cypress]

mhm

[tawny siren]

well ik my gpu is a amd a8 vision 5700hd

[oblique cypress]

im ingame so i didnt explain a whole lot

[echo kraken]

Pretty much anything would be a decent upgrade, what's your cpu

[oblique cypress]

tf is the amd a8 vision 5700hd

isnt that a cpu

cause im bot getting any results rn on google for a "amd a8 vision 5700hd"

[modest prism]

a8 is an amd apu yes https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/a8

[exotic river]

Amd 🤵

[oblique cypress]

he said "his gpu was a amd a8 vision 5700hd" and i was so fucking confused because that def sounded like a cpu lol

he sure knows what he talking about

[devout anchor]

I need a gpu under 300 is there a better option than 1660ti if I'm bying new

[echo kraken]

If buying new probably not

[oblique cypress]

yeah

at that price range for new, 1660 ti is best

[devout anchor]

Okay that's what I was thinking thanks

[queen charm]

i mean an rx 590 is 15% slower than the 1660 ti

[modest prism]

it might be a little slower but you can still get a rx580 for over $100 less

and have just about the same experiace

[fast swallow]

From personal experience

AMD vs Nvidia

You end up getting a more stable experience with Nvidia

[next leaf]

I prefer and over nvidia

Amd*

[fast swallow]

I had AMD forever

[modest prism]

i'd say that's extremely anecdotal at best

[fast swallow]

Every new game had some glitch

That amd cards would priduce

Like just cause 3

The ground would never render

So you were constantly running around floating

And hitting everything

[next leaf]

Way I see it tho if you like something don't let others keep you from it

[modest prism]

and i've been living with a flickering desktop for the last 5+ months on a 2060 because of a known driver issue with dual screens

so it's not really any diffrent

[fast swallow]

It is

You bought new hardware

Brand new AMD had an issue with a bad driver causing specific AMD cards to have a black screen

The only way to fix it

Replace the whole card

They all have their issues

But games are designed around Nvidia

[modest prism]

again that's also no diffrent than all the bad 2080's

[fast swallow]

It is getting annoying that games do that

I don't classify the RTX graphics cards as existing

RTX died when it launched

I'm talking about 10 series and 16 series

Or GTX lineup specifically

Like the Vega series

Amazing lineup

I'd get one if I didn't have a 1080ti

My 2 Raideon HD 7980's still work amazingly

[maiden night]

Whats a good card that I can get used for about $100 for 108p high settings?

[marble flint]

Uhh

How cheap is rx570 now?

[teal bluff]

Is upgrading to a 2060 from a 1050ti worth it? What gpu do you all recommend? (That isn’t 1000 dollars??)

[marble flint]

A 2060 is a good one

Or the 2070

[teal bluff]

I heard there were issues with the 2070

And people are also saying the RTX is pointless

[marble flint]

Ray tracing is pointless

[teal bluff]

Well yeah

[marble flint]

But its still a great card

[teal bluff]

That’s what I need

Like is it 1080 good?

[marble flint]

I would assume so

[wraith pasture]

2070 is basically between a 1070ti and 1080

[wraith patio]

Do you all think it's time to upgrade from a EVGA 980 SC?

[wraith pasture]

yes

[teal bluff]

Yes

[wraith pasture]

buy from newegg

[teal bluff]

😂

[wraith patio]

™

[maiden night]

@wraith patio yeah I think so, my 980 ti also a evga sc just died too XD

only had it forr about 6 months too :((

[wraith patio]

@maiden night Its gonna suck trying to sell the card lol

Ive had mien for like 4 lmao

[maiden night]

yeah selling is gonna suck

[marble flint]

Just give it to me

Ill give u a crisp high five as payment

[wraith patio]

Ill ship it tonight! @marble flint 😉

[maiden night]

Im trying to scrape together about $100 to buy a used rx 580 until I can afford an rtx 2060 for the time being

[wraith pasture]

i dont have to say but its not listed in rules

this discord isnt responsible for any information you give other users D:

[wraith patio]

Might be worth the crisp high five :0

[marble flint]

@wraith pasture i would think that would be quite obvious to most no?

[wraith pasture]

you'd be surprised

[marble flint]

True

[wraith pasture]

only person you can 100% trust is neweggservice on this discord

[marble flint]

Who wants to pretend i gave my address to you and u came and stabbed me so i can sue newegg

[wraith pasture]

nope

[maiden night]

I trrust you @wraith pasture ;3

[wraith pasture]

i dont even work at newegg

[maiden night]

doesnt mean I dont trust a megumin fan 😛

[wraith pasture]

i just moderate their two discords, twitch and mixer.

ohhhh

even more reason not to trust me

[maiden night]

nah I like explosions too, just not from my GPU's XD

May she rest in piece 😦

[wraith pasture]

[maiden night]

on a side not, not buy EVGA GPU's anymore

note*

after 3 cards and 2 RMA's i just dont have trust

3*

RMA's

[wraith pasture]

i feel like your psu might be frying them

[marble flint]

BLD doesnt seem like a bad option just so u just have to deal with the 1 warranty

[wraith pasture]

LOL

[hushed canyon]

Hey

[marble flint]

Hi

[maiden night]

I meant to put 3 haha my keyboard double types

my psu is fine I think, no problems with the gtx 460 im using atm but we'll see, if I do indeed sell one of my game accounts im just building a new pc altogether since i'll be getting over $1k

[wraith pasture]

i thought my psu was fine

[fallen schooner]

Does the 460 require power

[wraith pasture]

till it fried my gpu then sudoku'd itself

[fallen schooner]

Lol

[maiden night]

@fallen schooner yeah two six pins

[fallen schooner]

Hm..

Three rmas seems something else is the cause

My opinion

[maiden night]

the first one a capacitor blew, and same with the next, this last one Im not sure cause its acting different, still "works" just comes up as a microsoft adapter and locks the resolution to 800x600

[fallen schooner]

Power surge

Yikes

[wraith pasture]

i feel like it's the psu

[fallen schooner]

I would take PSU out and look it over real good

Swollen caps.. all that mess

[maiden night]

I'll do that tomorrow I guess, if it is broken though I might aswell sell an account and build a new desktop, im thinking rzen and a gtx 2060 or 2070

ryzen*

how much you think I could sell a used 4790k for?

[fallen schooner]

Would have to check around

That b a y place

[maiden night]

@fallen schooner Jeez 4790k on ebay used is over $200 o.o

[fallen schooner]

Yeah

[queen charm]

People want 4790k's because they're still a solid chip for gaming.

Like a buddy of mine wants to put a 4790 in his Asus g20 and use that for his VR PC.

[dusky mesa]

You guys hearing all that crap about the Navi GPUs? I was just curious if there's any truth to it

[wraith pasture]

all rumors so far.

wont have concrete specs till 2nd week of june during e3

[dusky mesa]

Ah good to know

It'd be kind of neat though if they are able to do that much performance at a relatively affordable price

[cloud basin]

Just ordered a GTX 1080Ti hope it’s worth the 1,200$ price tag

[fallen schooner]

USD?!

[cloud basin]

Yeah

[fallen schooner]

yikes.

[jade trail]

Why?

[fallen schooner]

they are like 500 bucks now

ish

2080ti are 1,200

[cloud basin]

Not a TI. I got an msi overclocked 1900mhz

[fallen schooner]

trolly?

[cloud basin]

What chu mean?

[wraith pasture]

you would have been better off with a rtx 2080 for $700ish

2080 = 1080ti

[oblique cypress]

lol atomic was smart

1200? jesus thats like when they launched, nowadays 1080 ti's go for 700-800 rtx 2080 ti's go for more than 1k

you better cancel that lol

[timid gazelle]

what kind of 1080 did you buy?

post a link of it here

[oblique cypress]

prob some headass special edition lmao

[jade trail]

only 1080ti I could find for near us$1200 is the Founders Edition

[oblique cypress]

he prob got that

[jade trail]

and that's at both NewEgg and Amazon

hell, even the refurb version on NE is us$980

[oblique cypress]

exactly

you prob had to ask some random guy on the street to buy a gtx 1080 ti for the same price as an rtx 2080 ti

lamo

[jade trail]

are Founders Edition cards usually worth the extra price, though?
I wasn't aware they were a thing for a long while

[oblique cypress]

oof

not too much

theres most likely a slight performance increase, but i doubt its worth the extra money

[jade trail]

to a point, it sounds mostly like a thing for Bragging Rights, assuming there's only a small supply of them.
if they're still available though, then it probably means the price isn't high because of limited supply.
well, unless it is a limited supply but the price is still too high for most people to justify spending.

[oblique cypress]

mhm

[cloud basin]

Gigabyte GeForce 1080ti Gaming OC

[jade trail]

eh.....

not sure about everyone else's opinion on that specific card

but a 2080 version exists
for the exact same price

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814932064

with slightly better specs, too.

[timid gazelle]

uh oh

that's a huge RIP

[jade trail]

well, there may be a specific reason that @cloud basin wants the 1080 TI Gaming OC card.
I'd recommend against it and get the 2080 TI version I linked instead, especially since they cost the same, but it's up to them.

[cloud basin]

I got the 1080 due to my power supply

A 2080 ti takes more power to run then a 1080ti does

And most of what I’m doing doesn’t need what the RTXs do

[jade trail]

yeah, but it's a good way to future-proof and not need a newer card for a long while
a new stronger PSU isn't that bad to get either, further future-proofing yourself

the one I linked only recommends a 650W and 2 8-pin connectors over the 1080's 600W and 8-pin+6-pin connections.

[cloud basin]

I’m getting a 700W but with that and the price of the card and 16GB of DDR4 Corsair ram that’s a lot it’s self my budget went slightly over because of the psu

[jade trail]

hm.... which PSU and RAM?
there may be more viable alternatives to get yourself back under budget

[cloud basin]

It’s an evga 80plus 700w and 3000mhz ram from Corsair

Vengeance

Vengeance

[jade trail]

the 2 x 8GB ram?

and does it have to be 3000MHz?

because if 2400 will suffice for you, I have this in my current PC
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231964

there's us$20 saved.

as far as a PSU, this is on sale for us$80 and is rated 80+ Gold
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438060

side note: please don't take my suggestions as "You are wrong, buy these instead."
they're just that: suggestions. could be better or could be worse than what you were already planning.
I just like window-shopping and playing on pcpartpicker.com

[civic helm]

theres someone selling that exact same card on craigslist here for $650

[wraith pasture]

You paid $1200 for a 1080Ti when you could have easily paid $700 for a 2080 and $180 for a power supply to support it.

[fallen schooner]

I wasn't going to say it, but yeah. lol

[dreamy haven]

wow

talk about jumping the gun without due diligence

[fallen schooner]

I would return it and save a dollar 😐

[fast swallow]

Just a dollar

But you can hang it on your wall saying you saved that dollar going RTX.

[echo kraken]

Ooooooor buy a used 1080ti for $550 and save nearly $600

[fallen schooner]

that too

[fast swallow]

Or

Buy a 2080ti

[fallen schooner]

that too

[fast swallow]

And have one of the best cards on the market

[fallen schooner]

morning Reapie.

[echo kraken]

1080ti is still like 2nd or 3rd only to 2080ti and rtx titan

[fast swallow]

Morning

[fallen schooner]

I mean 1080ti is still a beast, but not at that price.

[fast swallow]

They cost that right now new though

[fallen schooner]

could have got 2 of them

[fast swallow]

And that's rediculus

They should cost 2080 price

[echo kraken]

Unless you're scared of used like it's the plague, I'd suggest buying used

[fast swallow]

I am

[echo kraken]

Especially if they still charge 1200

[fast swallow]

I will never buy used

[echo kraken]

Or a card that launched 3-4 years ago

For*

[fast swallow]

Would you feed old formula to your baby?

[echo kraken]

Considering baby food has a shelf life of like 10 years probably

[fast swallow]

Not formula

It has a 1 year lifespan

[echo kraken]

It do computer parts have a 1 year lifespan?

But*

[fast swallow]

I'm basically saying my PC is like a baby to me. I'm not giving it used parts

[echo kraken]

I guess I've just had different experiences then, my cpu is going on 8 years old and works like it did then. Used ram in my system works great too

[fast swallow]

If I used it then that's one thing

Idk what the last person did to it

I might buy a dropped graphics card

Right @fallen schooner ?

[fallen schooner]

si.

[cloud basin]

there is refurbished for 799

[cloud basin]

I got the 799 one

[wraith pasture]

What card

You can get NEW RTX 2080 for $700 before tax

[cloud basin]

GTX 1080ti for 799 it’s the gaming oc

[wraith pasture]

Man, you are ripping yourself off D:

[cloud basin]

I don’t want a 2080 tho my guy

[wraith pasture]

Ok

[cloud basin]

I wanted the 1080ti for looks and it matched my style of game better

[exotic river]

1080ti is better

[oblique cypress]

interesting opinion buying a 1080 ti instead of a rtx

but you do you

[fallen schooner]

👍

[granite juniper]

How’s the amd 2600 for a budget card?

[queen charm]

about as good as it gets

[cloud basin]

According to GeForces pc simulation run the GTX 1080ti is better for 3D analytic games

[granite juniper]

The 1080 ti is also more expensive. I was going to upgrade it that or a 2080 later

[north swallow]

ive got a non-working 970 g1

[cobalt vector]

Just get Radeon VII it’s cheaper than 2080 and if you overclock it’s better too

The prices of 1080 ti is inflating

And 2080 should’ve been the price of 1080 ti when it first launched

But we got skadoodled into buying amd cards cuz the prices keep going up

👁👄👁

[dreamy mirage]

Guys i am gonna buy RX570 but i dont know which custom card has best performance

[oblique cypress]

what is your budget for a gpu

[dreamy mirage]

$135

[oblique cypress]

alright

will you be willing to spend 5 extra dollars?

usd am i correct?

[dreamy mirage]

Ok i will increase my budget

Usd

[oblique cypress]

alright

get the powercolor red devil rx 570 4gb

its def one of the best rx 570 out there for that price

and also because i would recommend it since it's in my list

it has 3 fans so more cooling

[dreamy mirage]

Problem is my casing has no space for red devil

Can u suggest me alternate gpu

[oblique cypress]

sorry, thats a good one, though you can get a bigger case for the same price

if you're willing for some extra frames to get a bigger case

if you really dont care about the frames, get the powercolor red dragon rx 570 instead, its like the little brother of the red devil

a little bit less performance, but very small, but for me, its worth the extra teeny ten dollars

[dreamy mirage]

Bro u r increasing my budget

[oblique cypress]

i said you could get the powercolor red dragon

its 10 dollars cheaper

if you really want an itx build go ahead

[dreamy mirage]

How about sapphire pulse & Asrock?

[oblique cypress]

those are good choices too

most of them are, just the prices and base clocks are a lil different

whatever is in your budget, go ahead.

[dreamy mirage]

Thank you

[oblique cypress]

you're welcome

[dreamy mirage]

But the prices are same of sapphire, asrock and red dragon

[oblique cypress]

compare them all in google

im doing homework so i wont do that for you

[dreamy mirage]

If i google it then what is the purpose of this app?

[oblique cypress]

sigh***

i mean you can compare those models

it isnt hard

discord servers arent the only way of getting information and help for your stuff

google exists for a reason also, you gotta do research, if you cant find anything, then you ask us

[dreamy mirage]

It is hard and confusion cause many website give me different results

[oblique cypress]

[dreamy haven]

[oblique cypress]

oh i already dmed him yesterday lol

[tropic moon]

I need some help picking the right card.
I need a new card for rendering using b3d's eevee , which is a rasterizer so it'll really see a huge improvement from gpu then cpu.

My computer is a Dell T5500
Processor: 2 × x5650 6 cores 12 threads 2.65 ghz
12 cores 24 theads all together
Currant Graphics card : trash
Ram: 36 gb ecc 9 × micron 4gb
Psu: dell 875w 80+ silver

At first I was thinking for my price range a gtx 1070 , but I've heard a few things about the 1660 that made feel conflicted.
I'm also considering a gtx 980 .
budget wise I might be able to get a 1070 ti.

[wraith pasture]

i heard the RTX card are a beast for rendering

[tropic moon]

Rtx are great, but out of my price range, I can go maybe $330 usd
Also cycles is a path tracer , eevee works more like a game engine, but it's still in beta so I can't find relevant benchmarks for it.

[oblique cypress]

then you can prob get an rtx with 330

[tropic moon]

Whoa , they are a lot cheaper then I thought

[oblique cypress]

duh

the rtx 2060 can be bought for 340-50

[tropic moon]

The 1070 ti on user benchmark prefomes 6% better and with the extra 2 gigs I think the 1070 ti will best for me .
Right after I posted I got a bit more cash, so that changed things a bit haha

[oblique cypress]

alright

sounds good

[tropic moon]

Still thanks , it's always good to look into other options

[maiden night]

So if anyone can offer some help, I slapped my 980 ti back in to see if I could maybe have some luck and it might just randomly work again. It shows up in device manager now but here are 2 screenshots that have me confused

still locked to 800x600 and whenever I uninstall and reinstall the drivers for it, it just reverts back to 800x600

[fickle tartan]

I'm thinking of buying an rx 570, is it a good value buym

*?

[hard quartz]

yeah i have one there good

[lone pond]

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE 2 2080TI'S

yeah me neither 😦

[fallen schooner]

check your pockets.

[timid gazelle]

oh wait, where is the last place you had them?

[fallen schooner]

lol

I'll probably get one when the 5080s come out.

[timid gazelle]

when graphics exceed the sight of humans

i can't wait till it comes out

[oblique cypress]

never

[fast swallow]

A 5080 will have a neural connection
