My closest bestbuy is 10 minutes away
lone pond
the micro center near me just gave vouchers to everyone who got there yesterday
terse bloom
Half way down the line, saw a sign, said "3080s sold out" that they put up
lone pond
best buy probably wont have any
lone pond
as long as we keep trolling the scalpers they may get discouraged
terse bloom
Checked micro center again 12 hours ago. Only 2 stores left still had stock. Denver, CO and Tustin, Ca. Probably only cause they weren't open yet.
lone pond
i heard a ton of people went to the tustin one
people were talking about it on the subreddit and in the nvidia discord
lone pond
android ftw
terse bloom
First picture is from back of line, second is the front/first corner around the building from the door
terse bloom
We were hoping not everyone was there for 3080s
terse bloom
9:55, 5 mins before open
terse bloom
Some people were carrying bags, so maybe returns. Also, supposed to be PS5 pre-orders too.
lone pond
true
terse bloom
No. Didn't ask. Did see people up front had camping chairs.
lone pond
wow ok
terse bloom
Some people still stayed in line after they put the 3080 sold out sign. So I guess not everyone was there for the 3080?
lone pond
makes since ok
ty, btw. trying to see what time i need to be at best buy next week for 3090
rich oasis
I was there for the 3080 at mirco center but didn't get one
lone pond

Forget that

tustin is 20 mins for me
mortal thistle
Not even worth
lone pond
70 minutes not that bad

Too far away

what time do you guys think i should be there fore line? if they open at 10am and its not a very popular aera

@rich oasis are you going to micro center next time?
I am thinking if I should go there for 3070
rich oasis
yes probably
mortal thistle
💩
rich oasis
If I can't get one online then I will get one there
lone pond
@lone pond so far its been great gaming, the only issue ive had after a month is when i mess with the fan curve at all my games stutter, maybe its just me being terrible at tuning the card but it didnt have an issue for 2 weeks the way i had it before and only had the fan curve up to 65%
@trim crown
I know nothing about card tuning. Haven't messed with my red devil 5700xt other than turning freesync on.
I'll probably just wait for the 3080ti Super
the 3080ti super 🤯
terse bloom
The rumored 3080 20GB model?
lone pond
ah yes the 3080ti super quadro dual strix trio ftw3 20gb edition
mellow kiln
is the msi gtx 1080 ti duke a good card?
lone pond
1080ti's are still super good. definitly not the best but its still good
terse bloom
Was just looking at newegg and amazon. My MSI 1080 (NON-ti) Gaming X is still selling at $800
fervent obsidian
well you wouldn’t get that much for it lol
terse bloom
No, those are what I assume are new anyway.
Used on Amazon is about 350 to 450
ebay about 300 average
And honestly, was just thinking, if I can't get a 3080, maybe I can try to get a second 1080 and run sli

70000 Graphics cards I want them
limpid latch
U can get b stock 1080ti cards for 349 directly from evga
Until they sell out
@terse bloom sli wouodnt really be worth it, less n less support in games for it
proven swallow
supposedly there is an article talking about how Nvidia my revoke orders after they review every order
solemn panther
sad noises
terse bloom
My cousin told me he's getting a 3080, but thats only because he's getting a pre-built pc from CLR or CRL.. $3,500 for the whole pc with "professional cpu overclocking" and $200 for shipping.

bargain
wind ridge
how do you decide which brand to get a graphics card from?
spice prawn
@wind ridge brand name does not matter, what matters is the quality of a given model.
so reviews is the answer
and i am not talking about reviews on vendor sites. but actual reviews.
opaque notch
Is the 2060 ko ultra still worth it?
opaque notch
To buy right now. Im building a pc and with a 800 budget. been thinking of what gpu to buy.
lone pond
I'd say long as it fits with the other components you're putting in the system. And what resolution you plan on playing at then you'll be alright.
spice prawn
@opaque notch its performance has not changed.
but it should be really really close to 300
and depending on things, you might want to have a look at the used market near you
opaque notch
@lone pond probably just 1080p gaming
lone pond
1080p you'll be in good shape.
opaque notch
@spice prawn gonna pair it with a r5 3600. Im planning to buy at micro center for 329
lone pond
I'm about to build one for a friend same set up. Just a normal 2060ko not tht ultra.
opaque notch
So i should just go for the normal then
spice prawn
imo? yes
opaque notch
Thanks for that. Will consider it
spice prawn
best of luck with your build :)

Anyone here manage to get the 3080?
spice prawn

Nice
silver kayak
So I was one of the unlucky ones and unable to grab a 3080. However i already completed my new build and tired of running my old 660 TI in it. I'm not familiar with the eVGA step up program. If i purchased a EVGA 2060 would it be eligible to Step Up to the 3080?
spice prawn
they have articles about it on their site @silver kayak
silver kayak
Yeah I'm reading the FAQ, I guess my question is it says peace of mind for when something comes out. So since 3080 is aleady out would it still be eligible?
spice prawn
the only ones that can answer that is EVGA
they have a customer support for questions like that :)
its not that i dont want to answer. but my answer does not help you if they deny it later.
silver kayak
I understand, just thought someone might have experience with it. Honestly just arguing with myself about purchasing a "Temp" card until all the rest of the cards get fleshed out, but thought this might be an option to maintain some of the value. So more on topic, I have a 3440x1440 monitor and mostly play Warzone and RPGs. What would be a good card to fill that need if I did? Looks like locally the 1660 TI, 2060, 5600XT, and 5700XT are the extent of availability.
spice prawn
:)
the 5700xt is the faster card,
the 1660ti and the 5600xt are good (in the future) HTPC cards
silver kayak
Yeah I realize that, but the other cards all fall around $100 cheaper so would any of these be viable.
spice prawn
the 2060 is at a odd point right now
wicked hound
what refreshrate is the UW-QHD?
silver kayak
144hz
wicked hound
So you'd actually have a decent benefit of a GPU better then 5700XT
if you actually are looking for stopgap solution, probs 5600XT?
silver kayak
For sure, which is why I fully intend to pick up a 3080 or Big Navi depending on its announcement.
Plus with the rumors of a 3080 20 GB makes more questionable to wait.
wicked hound
With a 1660S you're most likely going to have to play UW-FHD or lower settings a fair bit to get ~80 fps I'd think
but with that card you lose less as you resell
3080Ti/S is a bit questionable tho too
rumors are rumors afterall
silver kayak
Right. I'd be fine if I get pick up a 3080 but don't want to continue switching my KB/M and Monitor back and forth to Xbox to be able to play anything. I tried to play Warzone on my 660 TI and it was "playable" but everthing was totally stripped and lots of stutter on 720p. Also my monitor continuously jumps back and forth between UW because it attempts to stretch game when I do that so constantly changing monitor settings. I'd be fine with UW-FHD atm.
wicked hound
660Ti is quite old, am fairly sure it just wont work with lot of newer AAA titles. If you want to save as much money as possible and have an okay experience then 1660 Super (not Ti as that's bad priced usually) - or slightly more expensive 5600XT for decent experience. Personally I'd probs go 1660S cuz stopgap time is going to be somewhat small I'd be guessing
zinc mango
silver kayak
Yeah the 660Ti was just the card in my old rig that I haven't used in few years do to lack of quality internet Ive just been using an xbox. Just put it in there as a placeholder until the 30 Series launched but yeah...
Rest of build is a 10700k and 32GB RAM.

^why is it only 627 pounds?

Yeah had to@order from uk site

I need some help with an upgrade.
Hi, I need some help finding a video card. I use Adobe Lightroom and the minimum is 2GB. Can you help?
Here is my current pc specs:
HP Pavilion SFF Desktop Computer
AMD Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5GHz Processor; 8GB DDR4-2666 RAM; 256GB SSD; AMD Radeon Vega 8
GPU Type: AMD Radeon Vega 8
Video Memory: Shared
GPU Interface: Integrated
I already have 16 GB of RAM
Since the card is integrated - do I upgrade the system RAM to 32GB of get a new video card with 2GB of VRAM?
feral estuary
I need some help with an upgrade.
@sullen iron what are you wanting to use this build for? And whats your budget
sullen iron
Hi, I'm using it for Adobe LIghtroom. photo editing.
Adobe reccomnds the following
Radeon GPU with DirectX 12 or OpenGL 3.3 support.
Intel: Skylake or newer GPU with DirectX 12 support.
NVIDIA: GPU with DirectX 12 or OpenGL 3.3 support.
OpenGL 3.3 and DirectX 10-capable video adapter for GPU-related functionality.
1 GB Video RAM (VRAM). 2 GB of dedicated VRAM (4 GB recommended) for large, high-resolution monitors, such as 4K- and 5K-resolution monitors.
opps...
That might ne hard to read,
I'm looking to spend about $150 or less
feral estuary
Maybe take a look at a rx580 8gb
sullen iron
Are there specific things I need to look for when browsing for a card? I know there are different specs on RAM. Are there things like that on video cards?
spice prawn
not really
there is however a site that has benchmarks that might be of interest for you @sullen iron give me a sec to grab them

Yeah like he said in October basically everyone will be satisfied

And brands like evga are actually restocking every couple days already so if you need it that soon you're in luck
Funny how he spent half the video telling people to not be mad as if they dont have good reason to
clear plover
Just finished watching that video, its so bad its cringe.
dire gate
I mean, they don't. If the thing that made you most mad/upset this week was not getting a premium graphics card you're doing pretty alright.
green harness
Funny how he spent half the video telling people to not be mad as if they dont have good reason to
@lone pond
This kind of thing happens with a lot of new or limited release products and services. I don't see how anger is at all justified.
I mean, they don't. I've the thing that made you most mad/upset this week was not getting a premium graphics card you're doing pretty alright.
Especially in these times.....
lone pond
Well as far as these people knew not getting one now meant that had to wait up until months
That's sounds pretty frustrating to happen because of some bots
green harness
Being frustrated is one thing. Being annoyed or upset with scalpers or hoarders I also understand. Anger doesn't make any sense imo
lone pond
He said be upset but not "angry" like what's the difference lol
dire gate
I've had a build sitting without a gpu for a month, It has a ryzen so it can't even display lol. I'm not gonna spend all my emotional energy being pissed about it.
lone pond
Basically 15 mins of "chill out bro"
And then the other half procedes to talk about how this is completely unprecedented
green harness
The point iirc was the demand was unprecedented, not that nvidia didn't supply a reasonable number of cards at launch
lone pond
15 seconds everything gone globally. On a down season.
You will have frustration
green harness
Frustration and anger are fairly different emotions in my experience
lone pond
Ok now we're getting into semantics but I've said my point
But everything will be alright
clear plover
Imagine going back home from a stressful day at your minimum wage job to buy a GPU at MSRP. Finally the ability play VR at decent frames, blow off steam from those long tedious days. All without having to spend crazy amounts of cash, just to see scalpers got em all.

yea that would be cool

It would be sickkkkkkk

I would expect the 3070 launch to be similar if not worse than the 3080 launch.
sand gorge
yea fr your probably gonna have like 5 sec to buy it
fickle walrus
I don’t think it will be worse as in the scalpers or whatever the f*u ck they’re called but it might be cause of how many people
high nimbus
You didn't even get 5 secs with the 3080 launch
fickle walrus
Lol I’m gonna b fuuuu ckkkedd
high nimbus
Should hopefully be ok if you're willing to wait weeks/months for stock to get somewhere

yea im gonna wait a few months

we dont really know what exactly they are doing with their vram this time around
because "something" is going on in there
spice prawn
nah, that is just how it goes.
spice prawn
what exactly prevents it from having that many cores?
dry jetty
its sus
spice prawn
not saying it does. Just curious
dry jetty
because if it has that many cuda cores
ima get it
ima use it for parallelism
but it seems off
dry jetty
well then ima probs get a 3080
20gb once 20gb comesa out
probably like 899.99
maybe 799.99
sand gorge
damn that sucks
clear plover
"Did you mean: rtx 2080"
No ya bastards, I did not mean rtx 2080

the 3000 series is new architecture for cuda cores which is double the rate which why you see double the size, more so designed to make 4k processing faster, which why there is a bigger gap in 4k than 1440p

wait for big navi announcement
you'll probably have newer options on a budget
that actually will have more stock than nvidia, hopefully

2060 for DLSS and ray tracing (if you care)
spice prawn
@ancient crystal yes, close enough
ancient crystal
so basically edge smoothing, image resizing, some other image processing stuff
DLSS seems good for when you're running a dynamic resolution
spice prawn
aye, seems is the right term :)
ancient crystal
i might be doing that with some newer games, like when FFXVI comes out for PC
spice prawn
we still need more info on it, that is not some site/journo weeing their pants about it without logical thought :)
ancient crystal
ah, only 3000 series?
spice prawn
no, also 2000
but the info on what it does, why it does it, when does it do it? etc etc etc
ancient crystal
i might be persuaded at this point to get a 2060
spice prawn
that stuff is just not really available
ancient crystal
as dynamic resolution + DLSS might be less expensive than higher resolution without it
crystal dirge
Nah bro get the Quadro 8000
ancient crystal
since the hardware is designed to do DLSS
spice prawn
@crystal dirge jokes belong in #general-chat
ancient crystal
i appreciate not being called "bro"
i'm not your bro, i'm not anyone's bro, or a bro
crystal dirge
Ok
spice prawn
Grey / an example of what i am talking about: One of the forums i frequent for architecture (chip related) talk has a thread on DLSS
lets just say its a heated subject
spice prawn
if you mean people running around on fire is arguing? yes!
ancient crystal
the mythical DLSS
spice prawn
the main problem is that nvidia has not really told anyone exactly what it does at any given point
ancient crystal
but nvidia just wants you to know that when you're doing dynamic DLSS GOOD
spice prawn
:)
ancient crystal
to be fair it probably is
it's just obfuscating stuff intentionally is always skeevy and weird
spice prawn
it CAN absolutely produce nice things
it can also produce things that have NO place on anyones monitor
and as you say, its the obfuscating that is the "problem"
ancient crystal
not obfuscating it would enable developers to use it well
spice prawn
there is a very big likelyhood of RDNA2 having something like it too
ancient crystal
RDNA2 is a ways off, at least for average consumer cards in the $300-400 range
spice prawn
because if there ever was a piece of "tech" that was made for consoles? that is it
re: RDNA2 cards on pc: aye, agreed, it is not likely that they will be launching that part of the segment this year
ancient crystal
my current monitor is 1080p, 144Hz and i don't plan on upgrading it soon because all that means is more GPU required
spice prawn
:)
the games i play work just fine on a 60hz display :)
so this machine is still using that
lone pond
Finding a good 60hz that can overclock to 75hz or higher can save you a lot money.
ancient crystal
overclocking a monitor sounds nice and good and like you couldn't possibly botch it
further monitor talk we should probably move to #old-monitors-and-tv though
lone pond
Probably
spice prawn
@lone pond if you care about having a stable image... oc'ing the monitor imo is a ... not smart ... idea :)
its fine, at least you are talking tech :)

okay then

you just have to try to win the 💩 lottery on that one

$15 more or so
if nothing else it uses a lot less power

@spice prawn the closest im going to get is when I had it in my cart before newegg crashed 😂
spice prawn
for now
ancient crystal
that feel when preordering/ordering tech when it's in high demand and you just have to deal with this constant pile of suck
the PS5 is worse, gamestop was selling $900 bundles with the $400 digital console as the base to take advantage of people
imagine if they bundled a bunch of 💩 with GPUs
and forced you to spend $900 if you wanted it then
spice prawn
you could debate that was what nvidia did last gen with RTX
considering how long it took for uptake of the tech
but, it could also, rightfully, be debated that that is how tech works on the pc platform

best of luck finding a solution
ancient crystal
as well as numerous other factors
your question requires specificity
unfortunately, i think he thinks these responses are hostile, i am a bit blunt but i'd like to think that is more useful than not - if it's not appreciated here and someone lets me know i'll stop it
ancient crystal
i feel like occasionally you get people who just
spice prawn
and facts over fiction anyday
ancient crystal
think there are paid employees and it's a customer service thing
there are such people here but they don't seem to interact much
spice prawn
they are not here for that
ancient crystal
yeah, that's what i figured
ancient crystal
maybe a short time and maybe a long time
it depends on nvidia and retailers coordinating
and whether you're even let to know that the thing is availabel
newegg has a helpful auto-notify button
so you can receive automatic notifications when a product becomes available
they will of course come in your designated account email
it's a bit much, but you can just auto-notify the 3090s when they become available on the site
wake up before 6pm
finger on the trigger
lol
i would put that info in right now and make an accoutn
so that when the preorders open you can do it as fast as possible
no idiea
unfortunately i don't know their site
spice prawn
check their site, the info should be there
ancient crystal
the problem here is nvidia is the only one that's gonna know
and they're not likely to tell you until it's on the website
spice prawn
based on the 3080 launch, it will most likely be 6pm pst
olive zodiac
6am pst
spice prawn
@olive zodiac was that what it was? if so, thank you for the correction :)

@ancient crystal you should go for a 2060s if you want more stable driver updates/ray tracing/dlss, if you want close to 2070s performance at $100 less/no ray tracing/dlss/iffy driver updates go 5700xt
ancient crystal
cool except my budget tops out absolutely at $300
and by that i mean this is what i am willing to spend
i appreciate the advice but i've heard it again and again
also AMD's driver updates have not created problems for some time
I have done research and by that I mean asked people who own the GPU
ray tracing and DLSS are not important to me
freesync is more important because i think on my monitor it will be more reliable than G-SYNC is
since my monitor is primarily freesync
the 5600 XT is $259.99
and performs as well as a 2060, sometimes trades blows with a 2060S
i base that 2060S comment on some framerate comparison videos i've seen
where the 5600 XT lags behind only a little
of course with the new vBIOS
i guess for the card i'll be buying the recommendation is to install the new vBIOS
because it isn't preloaded for some reason, which is why it's less expensive, because you have to do some techie stuff to make it work (though it's very easy)
rather, make it work full speed
reef heath
There are some willing to sell their 5700xt at that price 300-350
I'm one of those people 😂

hey y'all, I have a question about GPUs and VR. In terms of VR, what parts of a GPU are important? VRAM? I ask because recently some 3090 benchmarks were leaked and people are saying that there's no point in getting a 3090 for double the price of a 3080 when the FPS difference among the two is supposedly only 10%.
I ask as I want to eventually expand into VR for sim racing. People on reddit said VRAM is pretty important to simulator games, especially when paired with VR.
Should I wait for the 3080 20 GB versions, or should I go for the 3090?
pls ping with opinions, thanks for reading y'all.
spice prawn
@ruby solstice wait a bit, and the testing will be done for you
give people time to understand how the new architecture actually behaves
wicked hound
@ruby solstice Plz do note a lot of people also complain about VRAM issues saying "of hey, game x is taking all 10gb of my VRAM" without realizing that it is only allocating that much VRAM. You can use less VRAM then you can allocate but you cant allocate less VRAM then you use (maybe you can, but almost would never work properly - just putting this here for the "never say never" folks). idk about VR/simulation games, however there are still many games that "use" (as in allocate) a lot of VRAM but not actually use that much. So take what those people said with a grain of salt until they actually provide proof (which is kinda hard). Most if not all programs that report about the VRAM "usage" actually report the VRAM allocation. So if you ever get in a discussion with someone who says that then make sure to tell them about this and ask for proper proof of usage rather then allocation

Hey guys, question: if I want to power two odyssey g9s, is the there any practical difference between the 3080 and 3090? (Both monitors at max res and refresh of course)
sacred crow
They can both handle 8K res or 2 monitors at 4K res. Where you might find issue is pushing all that resolution in a game the 3090 will obviously perform better.
swift cliff
Well I’d use one for gaming and the other as an extra screen
so if I’m gaming on just one of them, could you foresee the 3080 struggling versus the 3090?
I’m just wondering if the price difference is justified in this case

Will the rtx 3080 be able to run 1440p 165hz on high settings?
blazing sigil
Should I get a XFX Radeon RX 580 8 gb graphics card or a 1050 ti?
lone pond
Is a 165hz monitor at 1440p a good choice for the 3080 @round mason ?
round mason
yes
lone pond
Ok thanks
round mason
3080 is a 4k 100fps gpu. It will have no issue in 1440p
round mason
We dont know how the 3070 will perforn yet
lone pond
Oh I see
round mason
But its either gonna be on par with 2080 ti or just under it
lone pond
Oh ok, so just stick with the 3080?
lone pond
Ight thanks for the help
round mason
For maximum performance pair it with an intel cpu

Really?

What's the equivalent of a 3700x?

round mason
But again u dont go wrong with amd neither

Yea

Intel best for gaming, amd for almost everything else
lone pond
So what would be the best choice for gaming, recording vidoes, and video editing? Amd?
flat hull
^^^ While it might have slightly lower clock speeds, AMD has more cores for same price point which will prob be more beneficial for video stuff
lone pond
Ok thank you for your help @flat hull and @round mason

So I think 1440p 240hz / 4k 144hz is the new target for the new gen cards (3080/6900xt). My 2080 super already runs the esports titles at 300 fps 1440p, but triple A games at max settings are more like 80-100fps. Next gen promises a healthy bump to those numbers. I feel like 1440p 144hz is almost not good enough for the new cards.
lean flicker
why do the same gpus have different performance in fps
severe basin
I'm not sure what you mean
lean flicker
Like i see benchmarks
severe basin
There's a lot of variables
lean flicker
Right
2070s in seperate videos and the framrate isnt the same
My 960 ran 144hz in valorant
round mason
What resolution
round mason
Well first off u gonna get tearing when u do that
round mason
Second like what @severe basin said theres many variables
lean flicker
yea i guess
round mason
Cpu differences
Overall build difference
Whether u friendo oc or not
Things like that
lean flicker
cuz i want to get a 3080 and 3700x
severe basin
Yeah we wouldn't be able to give a solid answer without knowing exactly everything that's in each of your systems, including brand and manufacturer of both graphics cards
severe basin
Because some CPUs can bottleneck games
lean flicker
I had a i5 5th gen
copper gale
Can someone helo me out eoth my graphics card
lean flicker
And it ran like 25% on idle
severe basin
RAM timings can effect fps.
severe basin
Your hard drive can have some limited effect as well
severe basin
Lol
lean flicker
Like it would maximize the usage of the gpu and stuff
severe basin
I would guess you might see a 5-10% fps difference between the 3700x and Intel i9 10900k at 1080p
severe basin
No
severe basin
The 3700/3800x will be better for higher fps numbers
lean flicker
You can oc ur ram right
severe basin
3900x would be better for like.... Work
lean flicker
ok
im just gonna do some editing and mostly play games
But the list is good right
Overall
severe basin
You can go to build chat and share it and I'm sure someone will have some opinions
lean flicker
ok
severe basin
But for your original question
lean flicker
?
severe basin
An Asus strix 3080 and a Nvidia founders edition 3080 will probably have pretty observable performance differences
lean flicker
which one would be better
severe basin
Same card, but the strix will have better cooling, better power delivery, probably higher clocked
lean flicker
im sorry if im asking dumb questions
severe basin
The strix will perform better
lean flicker
Also if i get x570 mobo itll be future proofed for quite a long time right
severe basin
Most premium partner cards (anything from Asus, Gigabyte, EVGA, etc..) will perform better than what Nvidia releases as the FE
lean flicker
ok i might get the strix
severe basin
Go to build chat for non graphics card related questions
severe basin
I am a huge fan of EVGA because of their customer service. I will be buying an EVGA card the next time I buy a GPU
lean flicker
cuz i might get vr in the future
spice prawn
@severe basin you are more than allowed to tell someone that they have gotten all the help you are willing to give (without anyone being mad at you)
severe basin
Think of VR as a high resolution high refresh monitor
Bc that's basically what it is
And yes the new cards should be capable
severe basin
@spice prawn yeah thanks, I just wanna keep this organized and also don't really know how to answer some of their questions
lean flicker
if i do get an aftermarket one which one do u recommend
severe basin
Well, they're all out of stock right now lol
lean flicker
Yea ik
severe basin
But honestly, try to look at them and pick the one you think looks the coolest
lean flicker
oh so its just about looks?
severe basin
If you put something in your system you think is ugly you're gonna hate it no matter how well it performs
spice prawn
@severe basin and it is appreciated, just dont run yourself ragged okay?
lean flicker
Imma get evga xc3 thanks for ur help

any word on how hot a 3080 backplate gets?
i have a figurine that will probably need to go on top of the backplate once i get a longer 3080
thinking about using a piece of polypropylene as the base to protect the figurine from heat damage
polypropylene has a service temperature rating of 110C before it softens
i know that some parts of the video card get hotter than the core, but i wouldn't imagine the backplate would ever exceed 110C?

What about not putting a figurine on your GPU

I’m tired but I’ll try my best
That’s not normal
mighty island
i won't have anywhere else to put it after getting 3080 😦
mighty island
if it doesn't fit under a 2 slot card, it's sure as hell not going to fit under a 4 slot card
the card I'm looking at is about 60mm longer than the one I'm currently using
and she's already pushed to the edge
mighty island
uhh just to be sure you mean silicone right

you say dollar store will have smaller?
mighty island
color is irrelevant it will be hidden by the figurine's rectangular base anyways
as long as it's flat
sinful crater
Yea they have em
mighty island
well that's annoying, my local dollar store does have them but you have to buy at least 24 @ $1 each
😐
mighty island
this looks good
but only comes as a 3 pack
maybe i'll see if my mom wants the other 2 LOL
decided to test the polypropylene piece... zero penalty to cpu temp with the figurine right next to the cpu fan
sinful crater
@mighty island do you have a 3080 otw or are you waiting
mighty island
i'm trying to get my hands on an AORUS MASTER 3080 which isn't out yet
sinful crater
Ok
mighty island
i'm not in a rush though, 1060 is still enough for light gaming
so i have no problem waiting until price/availability is better
sinful crater
Im not rly sure which one i want im leaning a little towards the strix
mighty island
i don't really trust asus anymore
sinful crater
But my psu only has 2 8 pins so idk
sinful crater
What psu do u have
mighty island
corsair TX750M
there really isn't a practical difference between 2x8 and 3x8 on these cards anyways
they're already shoved into a brick wall as far as perf/watt goes, oc headroom is quite minimal
i hear they are fantastic undervolters though
my old 1080ti ran at 350W just fine off of a single power cable
just depends on the quality of the wires since the psu is single rail anyways
still prefer to use 2 cables just because, but i wanted to test if there was any difference
350W off 1 power cable is pushing near the limit of 16AWG wire though
at least i think so, i'm not an electrician
different sources seem to quote different max amperage

Should I get a XFX Radeon RX 580 8 gb graphics card or a 1050 ti?

anyone know whats the lowest card i can run 144hz at 4k on esport titles
recently bought the new LG monitor and realized i only really play esport titles so dont really need a big powerhouse GPU
round mason
3080
XD
Idk y u would be playing esports titles on 4k
Ur monitor size must be massive
Which will affect your fov
mighty island
overwatch is the most demanding out of those
you'll need a 3080 for 4K high settings and minimum 144 fps in overwatch
3070 won't cut it
for league even a GTX 1060 / RX 580 is enough for 4K 144 max graphics
high nimbus
I prefer CSGO at 8k
wary sand
monitor size is 27 inch
not big
use the monitor for other purposes gaming on the side
i just sold a 1080ti and in those titles it gave me 200fps plus
so no i dont need a 3080
or a 3070
blazing sigil
dont know much about cards but if ur spending anything over 400 ur best bet would probably be a 3070 but again i dont know much about graphics cards lol
wary sand
yeah if i could actually get the 3070 at 500 that would be awesome haha
just looking for something currently available
given the way this last 3080 went down
im assuming all other cards will be the same :/
blazing sigil
ya
round mason
mid range cards tend to go fast
mighty island
@wary sand 1080ti gave you 200 fps in overwatch at 4K ultra?
did you shunt mod it or something?
mighty island
4K ultra?
wary sand
mhmm
mighty island
my 1080ti overclocked to like 2070mhz @ 350W was still seeing occasional dips to 130
and that was at high, not ultra
wary sand
never really monitored after the first couple of hours of looking at it
mighty island
you talking about practice range or a real match cause a real match is more intensive
wary sand
but regardless overwatch is one of the esport titles on the list and the one i play very little of it lol
mighty island
i see a benchmark of a 2080ti in a real match doing like 110 fps at 4K ultra
round mason
massive monitor
round mason
4k
is too distracting
if you are using 27inch 4k
you arent really utilizing the resolution
properly at all
mighty island
i play league on a curved 27 inch 1440p monitor it's nice
curved makes the minimap easier to see lol
wary sand
the ppi is only 135
vs ideal 108-115 you want to be on
lol nothing wrong with 4k gaming
wary sand
yup
mighty island
anyways i'd get a 3070 if you're fine setting overwatch to medium
cause a 3070 is beyond overkill for all of your other games
round mason
esports games are usually run at the lowest settings
mighty island
it's only overwatch
mighty island
dude
wary sand
i like that
mighty island
i have a temporary 1060 while i wait for my 3080
it does 1440p 300 fps max settings effortlessly lol
wary sand
yup
mighty island
league is nothing
wary sand
exactly what im looking for haha
mighty island
its cpu bound too
mighty island
if you go practice tool you can see the gpu stretch its legs more
mighty island
cause going practice tool greatly reduces the cpu load
but it doesn't decrease gpu load
mighty island
userbenchmark bad
mighty island
here take it from me
round mason
i sit under 140
mighty island
that is a 1060 running league at 471 fps at 1440p max settings
wary sand
damn!
round mason
max graphics
mighty island
yes thats max settings with AA
wary sand
wait why though? how did you get it to go that high
mighty island
like i said
practice tool greatly reduces the cpu bottleneck
the game is cpu bottlenecked
wary sand
ahhh
unfortunately i need DSC for this 4k monitor to run at 144fps so maybe a 2060 will do well for me
wary sand
you on 4k?
wary sand
^
mighty island
there
proof it's a 1060 running 1440p maxed out
and the 1060 is even undervolted not overclocked
screenshot looks a little scuffed cause my second monitor is 1080p
mighty island
even my laptop's 1050 runs league at 1080p max settings 240 fps in practice tool
with a crappy i7-7700HQ
round mason
:/
mighty island
honestly i have no idea
mighty island
you're in practice tool so your cpu shouldn't be bottlenecking
mighty island
i have gsync on
mighty island
i have a 3600X
but your 2700 shouldn't be the issue as 3.4GHz i7-7700HQ can go beyond 200 fps
round mason
yep
mighty island
the game is just punishing you for being an akali player
wary sand
yikers
round mason
mighty island
but yeah 2070S is similar performance to a 1080ti and my 1080ti hit 936 fps with the ryzen 5 3600X
i see your summoner name 👀
round mason
i mean
mighty island
idk it looks like your gpu isn't clocking up all the way
round mason
my discord is a portion of my summoners
mighty island
1605mhz should be the step above idle
do you have vsync on
nah it was higher earlier so that can't be it
mighty island
yeah so thats why i think its something in your settings
round mason
i only have a 144hz monitor thats why i dont bother to check
it gets up there anyways
mighty island
mine is 165hz but i frame cap at 240hz for the lower input lag
not much of a difference anyways
mighty island
it's taking a break
