[wraith shard]

thank for your help fish

[exotic briar]

Is it a steal if I see a rtx 2080 super for around the 259 us dollar mark?

[faint berry]

i would say yes

[lean flicker]

yes pogu

[faint berry]

like absolutely yes, but be wary. Idk if the person who is selling it to you ran it into the ground for mining

[lean flicker]

Yes

[exotic briar]

Honestly testing it on sight gonna save me a lot for time

Coming from someone who's been using an a-series Apu would be a huge leap in performance.

[faint berry]

2080super for 259 is megapoggers

[exotic briar]

That's impossible unless the card is in a condition where it works but doesn't work

So cooler might not be working or fans on cooler.

Wish they made cheap aluminum loops like ek did with pascal and the 8th gen intel cpus

That was balls to the wall extremely cool.

I'm just gonna get a b550 board and maybe a 3800x if prices slash.

[ashen wigeon]

hello guys, so i just upgrade from my 1660s to 2070s (used condition 1 year ex gaming and programming). but when i turn it on/start booting, CPU fan so loud like 100%. is it normal?
my CPU is 3700x, PSU seasonic gold 650w

[exotic briar]

oh nah that's absolutely not normal.

check drivers and make sure to have them at the latest versions.

[ashen wigeon]

but its only loud for 2-3 seconds

then its going to normal

[exotic briar]

Oh then that's normal. I thought it was for a prolonged amount of time.

Like a minute or two.

But check reddit if you feel unsure

[ashen wigeon]

ohh alright then thanks mate

[exotic briar]

Welcome.

[spice prawn]

@ashen wigeon the reason for that is that is the POST part of the boot. nothing as such is controlling the fans. so they will (some times all of them, but always the cpu fan) spin at 100%. This is 100% normal behaviour

[ashen wigeon]

@ashen wigeon the reason for that is that is the POST part of the boot. nothing as such is controlling the fans. so they will (some times all of them, but always the cpu fan) spin at 100%. This is 100% normal behaviour
@spice prawn ahh is see, thanks for the explanation. is it because AMD bios and stock cooler AMD? or intel will do the same?

[spice prawn]

all systems do this

its quite literally because the BIOS has not taken control of the fans "yet"

[ashen wigeon]

ok mate thanks a lot

[raven hull]

I’m looking for the best value GPU, frames per dollar, that money can buy, any recommendations?

So far I’m thinking of either the RX 570 or the GTX 1650S, any recommendations on what to buy?

[kind wigeon]

@raven hull budget

also what games

team green has advantages in certain titles like fortnite, valorant, COD, apex legends, rogue company

personally for best value i say rx 580 8 gb, it's 175$

[raven hull]

I’m not really going to game, but I need a dedicated GPU and just wanted one with good value in case for the future

[shell mesa]

Do pny make good graphics cards because i saw a good deal on a 3080 from pny

[kind wigeon]

yea

[marsh charm]

any ideas on if the 20 GB 2080 will be the same price or will it be more expensive

3080*

[languid knot]

More expensive

[orchid loom]

These are a thing

[kind wigeon]

prolly a lil bit more expensive

msrp night be 800, 900

[languid knot]

I’d think $900 msrp and $1000 for high end AIB models

[celest wave]

I'd say at least 900 MSRP yeah

[lone pond]

yall trying to buy???

bestbuy rn

FEs

and Aura

they reliesing some every minute

[charred obsidian]

ye havent been able to grab one yet keep getting the please wait

[lone pond]

ya same

good luck

dammit

[charred obsidian]

@lone pond any luck?

[thorny carbon]

Also checking. Haven't seen the button turn yellow yet

[charred obsidian]

ive seen it yellow 3 times missed it everytime even tho i hit it within 1 sec

[thorny carbon]

I also don't see any notice about them releasing every few minutes... maybe I'm looking in the wrong place or something

[lone pond]

nope..

no when i reloaded and hit add to card it didnt let me and the notice popped up

@thorny carbon ^^^

[thorny carbon]

ah

[charred obsidian]

i missed it, just updated to sold out on my end

[crimson urchin]

whats better 5600 xt or 2060

[terse bloom]

I missed it too. I'm at work. Told my friends, next time, just buy it, and ill pay them back for it.

Cause 3 of my friends got theirs. 1 on release. 2 a few days ago on Dell, which should arrive next week. I'm the only one who wants one but don't have one yet among my friends.

Not including my cousin who bought a pre-built with 3080

[faint berry]

I was actually trying to do that for my buddy

[lone pond]

What’s up guys

[faint kindle]

oh woops thought this was #general-chat for a sec

[cerulean rover]

@spice prawn looks like the MSI scalping thing is resolved, only a few cards sold, partial refunds given, cards received. But anyways, GN talked mentioned something that I'm quite curious about now, so can windows automatically install drivers while you're trying to install drivers, and screw things up? How does that work? (~5:30 in vid)
https://youtu.be/0kyyhkNOclk

[terse bloom]

I haven't had an issue yet, but before I restart my computer, I always double check windows update to see whats being installed. They do have an option for auto download/install windows updates only, or non-windows updates too.

[faint kindle]

Yeah, GN mentioned that it was only ~4 cards sold that way

[crude bay]

Does anyone know if today newegg will restock 3080?

[slate ledge]

this is the grapics card I am using for my pc build https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fYNgXL/asus-geforce-rtx-2060-6-gb-dual-evo-oc-video-card-dual-rtx2060-o6g-evo

and no I am not buying 30 series

[hollow estuary]

Little question, if I were to buy an RTX 30 series now, would I get the one which are shown on picture or would I get the ones renewed with MLCC arrays?

@ me whenever someone answers.

[brisk flame]

@hollow estuary dont worry about it

[hollow estuary]

What shouldn't I worry about?

[brisk flame]

the capacitors on a gpu

[hollow estuary]

And why's that? Because I saw a few videos that made them crash from clocking too high and radio waves making them crash.

[brisk flame]

those were all speculation, the real reason was driver related

its hardly an issue worth worrying about anymore, and is definitely not something that should decide which gpu you buy.

[crisp ocean]

I believe it wasn't driver related the drivers just underclocked the GPU

[hollow estuary]

Okay then, next question if someone knows about that one, would I need some sort of bracket if I put the GPU vertical considering all 30 Series are 3 fans?

[humble niche]

3070 or 3080?

I want to future proof my build for a computer science and design degree

[hollow estuary]

I'm going 80.

[swift cliff]

What’s the practical difference between nvidia moving from Samsung 8nm to TSMC 7 nm?

[upbeat pier]

@swift cliff lower power consumption or higher clock speeds

[crude bay]

Samsung 8nm is sucks

[wicked hound]

@humble niche "future proof[ing]" doesnt really exist. Back a few years ago the 1080Ti was "future proof" until RTX came out. 2080Ti was "future proofed" until Ampere came out with godly FP/RT perf compared to Turing.

pick whatever suits your budget and needs

that's all you can do

[sage plank]

3090 Kingpin vs HOF, thoughts??

[wicked hound]

@sage plank zero info about 3090 HOF as been released

also you doing LN2 OCing?

[sage plank]

I would be lying if I said I haven't considered it

[wicked hound]

I mean, how much you going to do LN2 OC? Cards arent worth unless you are truly trying to get the best scores

[sage plank]

Prolly 2ghz to start with, not 100% sure yet.

I'm deciding between the ftw3 ultra (bc it'll be in stock again in a few weeks) or to wait for the 3090 KP or 3090 HOF

why tf did I put HOL lmao

[wicked hound]

MSI Trio + Strix BIOS will get you just as far unless LN2

I mean, Strix also has a higher PL with about same PCB as FTW3, so if FTW3 then you'd want to flash Strix BIOS too

[sage plank]

Hm you reckon? I'm looking to stream & game in 4k for games that support it, otherwise with DLSS.

Those will be the most demanding tasks at first

[wicked hound]

Trio still being a not so great PCB, but not really anything to care about until very high end water cooling/LN2/phase change/whatever

[sage plank]

Well atm I have 6 120mm 2k RPM noctua case fans and a NH-D15, that has managed to keep my Ryzen 3950x under 80 degrees under load, I'm pretty happy with how I have that setup atm

[wicked hound]

seems like you dont care about noise, if you're running near full RPM at least

[sage plank]

Tbh, they are running at 2k RPM and I can barely hear them (and nuh, I'm not deaf)

idfk how, but they're actually pretty quiet XD

[wicked hound]

depends on case, how close you are, and your tolerance of "good enough"

[sage plank]

I am right next to it, I use an old thermaltake case. I ended up removing both HDD cages for better airflow as I just use a gen 4 2TB NVMe drive and have a spare gen 3 one if I need more storage

[wicked hound]

When I went to custom watercooling I got the PC to be quieter then my average loudness(?) HDDs, those were nice times. Sold it tho cuz upgrading so am stuck without a nice desktop for a bit

[sage plank]

Hahaha enjoy it while you can 😛

[wicked hound]

Ye, I'll hopefully be enjoying the new PC I do for two years, resell and then upgrade

[sage plank]

I just find it ends up costing almost the same + a base amount if you just buy super high-end stuff and just sell it and keep upgrading .-.

[restive quartz]

hey guys so i have an msi rtx 2060 super, crashed mid game, pc rebooted and starts showing artifacts +error 43+ 0 vram on gpu-z>> later i found that i had bitcoin mining viruses in my pc...... my question is, does flashing bios help in this case or not?

vbios**

[spice prawn]

it does not

[restive quartz]

plus i uninstalled all the drivers the right way+ windows reisntall >> nothing worked i tried everything!!

why so

[spice prawn]

the bitcoin mining virus you have/had, is NOT hiding in the bios of the GPU

that is entirely there because of something YOU as the user did.

[restive quartz]

i thought it did hide there

[winter hollow]

how do you even get a bitcoin mining virus

[restive quartz]

i can hear him virusing

[spice prawn]

by clicking on things you should NOT click on

[winter hollow]

lol

[restive quartz]

or her

[winter hollow]

him

[restive quartz]

naed is some smartass ill let u know that lol

came asking for help and the guy was rubbing it on my face XD

[winter hollow]

OOoooOOoOo

i smell beef

[spice prawn]

shrugs

[winter hollow]

lol

well you 2 have fun

[spice prawn]

if that is how you read it. that is your choice.

best of luck with getting your problem sorted.

[restive quartz]

oh yes it mr cantfucious

[spice prawn]

ah yes, now i remember you. You are the one that didnt research RMA before you bought a card a while back.

[main mantle]

weird question I know but I have a 5700xt, I've heard AMD cards arent good for streaming. I also have a gtx 750... are those good for streaming, if so could I use both graphics cards at the same time (750 for streaming 5700xt for gaming). My cpu is also a 5 3600

appreciate the help if any

[lone pond]

oh yes it mr cantfucious
@restive quartzwhy are you fighting with him

he is trying to help u

talk in #general-chat if u really want to carry it on

[spice prawn]

@main mantle its not so much "good" as "convenient"

and the gtx 750 is too old for the "way" dual card streaming setups are done now.

[main mantle]

I thought so

thanks for the help

[spice prawn]

the 5700xt will work just fine

it just takes more setup

[main mantle]

ah

[spice prawn]

hence the "good" vs "convenient" comment :)

[main mantle]

I appreciate it

I'll give you a shout out when I get a million followers lol

[spice prawn]

eposvox on youtube might be a interesting channel for you

he has fairly extensive coverage of streaming and setup process for it

and yes, he is a quirky character

but he does know what he is talking about :)

[main mantle]

thats awesome thank for shooting the stars with my problem

[spice prawn]

not an expression i have heard before @main mantle

[main mantle]

Im feeling articulate today

[spice prawn]

:)

[stone raft]

EVGA said a huge batch of cards coming next week.

But this might not matter to you if you haven't signed up for the auto notify

[arctic phoenix]

prob not, hopefully it reduces the amount of scalpers tbh

[humble hemlock]

i signed up oct 9th probably wont get one for another month hopefully

[frigid anvil]

An absolute masterpiece.

It's so beautiful.

My eyes

[spice prawn]

are those not your old pictures?

[frigid anvil]

These photos would be impossible to be old as I just got this card in the mail.

And just took these photos seconds ago.

[spice prawn]

ah, did you not have a card earlier?

or was that someone else ...

[frigid anvil]

Zotac card yeah.

[spice prawn]

ah

[frigid anvil]

But I sold it because I didn't like it.

Seeing the Founders Edition 3080 online via photos or in videos is one thing but it's a completely other thing to see it in person.

I can say after holding this card it makes me not even want AIB card just because of how high quality this thing looks and feels.

[spice prawn]

the engineering/design on it is quite lovely yes :)

[wicked hound]

I just find it ends up costing almost the same + a base amount if you just buy super high-end stuff and just sell it and keep upgrading .-.
@sage plank mostly yeah. Tho the market where I am isnt very open to the extreme high end, at most just decent high end. Unless I go shipping stuff, but then I dont think anyone would buy it anymore cuz shipping PCs be hecking expensive.

[shadow barn]

Ok so i have a gtx 1650 and i5-7k

I want to upgrade to a 1660 super

Or an rx 5700

But do i need to upgrade my cpu?

[crisp ocean]

why is it better to buy an aftermarket GPU instead of a FE and overclocking it

[frigid anvil]

An aftermarket GPU usually cools better than the Founders Edition and may have a better BIOS / Power delivery and or looks.

But this time NVIDIA really did a great job on the Founders Edition card.

[crisp ocean]

Is there any $500 aftermarket gpus for a 3070

or like is FE the go

[frigid anvil]

I'd go for a Founders Edition if you like the look.

But I am now bias since I own a FE card.

[green harness]

The 3070 is not out yet so we don't truly know what's what there

[frigid anvil]

If you had asked me that question last generation for 20 series I would have said aftermarket.

[crisp ocean]

Gotcha, when will I know the prices lol, I was looking at the asus or msi 3070 but my budget is a strict $500 + tax

[wicked hound]

why is it better to buy an aftermarket GPU instead of a FE and overclocking it
@crisp ocean FE usually has lower PL (power limit), more protected vBIOS (meaning, harder to flash a vBIOS with a high/unlimited PL), worse power delivery, worse cooling, no dual vBIOS (incase you mess up a flash)

this stuff is stuff you worry about with high end OCing

basic OC, you wont really care if at all cuz GPU boost already does that for you

[frigid anvil]

^^^

[wicked hound]

this gen FE is def much better then other FEs, but still not the best on the cheap side

[crisp ocean]

I don't care too much about overclocking, I just more or less want a good price per performance

I want it to last 6 years lol

[wicked hound]

For which model you should get, we can only recommend once they come out. Saying random things based off of other models or history wont do much

[crisp ocean]

Yeah I know I am kinda torn at what to do though, I was going to wake up early to try and snipe one on release but I just don't know the prices

[shadow barn]

what gpu should i upgrade from 1650

[crisp ocean]

budget?

[shadow barn]

close to 620-500

[spice prawn]

that budget?

you just said you were looking at upgrading to a 2060

(that is a 300usd card btw)

[shadow barn]

yeah after i looked i didnt need to upgrade the cpu

i could take something stronger

[spice prawn]

re-read what mr1111 said :)

[shadow barn]

so?

[spice prawn]

there is a limit to what you cpu can supportr

[shadow barn]

ok

[spice prawn]

it IS a fairly slow 4core/4thread cpu after all

[shadow barn]

i9 kinda looking cheap ngl

[lone pond]

Why is the Newegg restock alert system slow?

[crude bay]

Planning to get one rog strix 3080, but I juz missed every restock😥

[marsh charm]

Hey Im planning on getting an EVGA RTX 3080. I have a Seasonic Focus Gold 750W and I was wondering what connectors do I need for the 3080 because I can't seem to find it anywhere on the internet. I saw somewhere that it is two 8 pin connecters and my power supply comes with a cable that has 8 pins and says PCI-E on it. The other one does not and it looks the exact same. I don't know if somebody can verify that I have the correct connectors for the 3080 in my power supply. Thanks

[spice prawn]

@marsh charm 2sec

in the PSU box, there originally was 2 PCI-e 6+2 pin cables

both of them with 2 sets of connectors on them

so, as long as you have the cables from the original box. you have what you need

[sharp glade]

3 days rtx 3080 in newegg is out of stock

😢💔

[worthy prawn]

I got one very luckily today, idk how tbh every week i miss them doing the same thing i did today

[charred obsidian]

oh man i just got an asus strix 3090 on newegg a minute ago!!!

[rigid crag]

Nice

[tiny grove]

today is my day off , I spend my day checking Newegg website refreshing trying to get a Asus rog strix 3090 , they finally put one at 8:00 PM , i added to my cart but when i click to check out a got nothing , why Newegg block the scalpers , why they don't give the opportunity to the real costumers that have more then 5 years with there account and spend a lot of money

[severe basin]

I don't think they have any way of knowing who is a scalper and who isn't

Plus money is a strong motivator. You'll get people who normally wouldn't scalp a product looking at what's happening and thinking... You know what, I could use some extra cash.

[humble hemlock]

this and as long as people purchase from scalpers, they will keep purchasing cards. No choice but to be patient and try again from time to time.

[spring chasm]

Guys is the gtx 970 a good card? My friend is giving to to me for my first build

So I don't have a clue really

[valid sundial]

no

[spring chasm]

Oh

[valid sundial]

thats like 4 gens behind

what is ur budget

[spring chasm]

Yeah I know its an older card

Like 450 or so

But was planning on using that gpu

[valid sundial]

450$ for the whole pc?

[spring chasm]

450 ish

[valid sundial]

yeah i guess keep that gpu

uh

for a case

what currency do you use @spring chasm

[spring chasm]

@valid sundial us.

[valid sundial]

ok

[lean flicker]

Thats a scammax

[spring chasm]

@valid sundial I put this list together

[lean flicker]

like 60$ scam

[spring chasm]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bdTBPV

[lean flicker]

ohr

[valid sundial]

that seems like a good build to me

[spring chasm]

@valid sundial really?

[valid sundial]

maybe try and go for higher wattage power supply

[spring chasm]

Okay

I've watched some benchmarks videos on YouTube and it seems to do okay

[valid sundial]

let me try and find a diffferent motherboard

[spring chasm]

But I'm coming from a console so I'm not used to high fps

Okay

Thanks

I really don't know I'm looking for i just want to game haha

[valid sundial]

are you gonna connect to the pc with ethernet or wifi

[wicked hound]

get Ryzen 3100, that Intel system has low RAM freqs cuz Intel locks down things

[valid sundial]

yeah amd is better than intel

[spring chasm]

@wicked hound I was considering ryzen but when I would choose the 3100 every mobo I put onto pcpp game me that bios waenkng thingy

And with this being my first pc that scared me lol

[valid sundial]

jon

r u gonna connect to the pc with ethernet or wifi

[spring chasm]

@valid sundial sorry lol

Ethernet most likelu

[valid sundial]

ok

[wicked hound]

it's not something that you rarely have to consider. That's basically a warning for mobos manufactured 17+ month ago

[valid sundial]

bc if wifi then you need a motherboard with a wifi card

[spring chasm]

@valid sundial I'm pretty sure I'll be plugged into my router

[valid sundial]

ok good

[wicked hound]

considering Covid constantly depleting inventory and just the fact its been 17+ months, you'd have basically as high as a chance to simply get a DOA as getting an old one

[spring chasm]

Oh okay

[wicked hound]

both are very rare, so I wouldnt worry about it

[spring chasm]

So is amd def the way to go then?

[valid sundial]

yeah

[wicked hound]

unless stock goes weird, then yeah

[valid sundial]

amd has always been a better processor

[spring chasm]

I put this amd list together

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mgvgsX

[valid sundial]

uh

[viral elbow]

wouldn't dual channel ram be better

[valid sundial]

gigabyte motherboards arent that good

get 2x8 ram

[viral elbow]

even b450m would be better so you can upgrade the cpu later

[spring chasm]

@viral elbow yeah guys I'm not really sure what I'm looking at here

Open for help

[valid sundial]

he has a budget of 450$

ok so for your ram

do 2x8

[spring chasm]

Oh yeah

I didn't realize that was just one stick

[viral elbow]

I'm afraid the white psu would blow up on you my guy

[valid sundial]

different motherboard but make sure it has at least 2 channels

because gigabyte motherboards are crap

[lean flicker]

Does 10850k lockdown ram

[valid sundial]

not sure

[wicked hound]

@spring chasm here is a cheap AMD one
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vpfhqp

[spring chasm]

@valid sundial what mobo would you recommend

[wicked hound]

$10 overbudget tho

[valid sundial]

@valid sundial what mobo would you recommend
@spring chasm anything besides gigabyte

[wicked hound]

blanket statement is very bad

never judge by brand

[valid sundial]

everyone knows tho

they have non existent support

[spring chasm]

Okay

[viral elbow]

if you don't feel like overclocking you could even go intel

[wicked hound]

how many people use the support?

[valid sundial]

dk

[spring chasm]

Yeah I don't really plan to overclock

[wicked hound]

most people care about hardware

ds3h is the cheapest with barebones hardware and a working BIOS

[spring chasm]

Dang the ryzen 3 is sold out

[viral elbow]

yea ryzen 3 3100 and ryzen 5 3700x stocks are kinda dry now

[spring chasm]

At least on amazon

I was planning on getting parts from Amazon and use my Amazon card there

[wicked hound]

Here is a good example of why brand labeling is bad.
I go say "Seasonic is best PSU seller" but then buy a S12II and kill my system from a bad protection setup

[viral elbow]

a few months ago it was all about ryzen 5 3600 and that price got so high

[valid sundial]

@spring chasm https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yCjJVc

i just changed the mobo

[wicked hound]

A320 is a worse option

no PB2 support

[viral elbow]

yea a320 is a dead end too...

[wicked hound]

less upgradability to Zen3

[spring chasm]

Why is that ram 144 on amazon

Lol

[viral elbow]

you can get away with $50-$60 ram really of most brand

[wicked hound]

also mobo has less RAM upgradability cuz only two slots

[viral elbow]

you don't have to really stick with that specific one on that list

[spring chasm]

Okay

[wicked hound]

you also shouldnt limit yourself to only one vendor (say for example Amazon)

[spring chasm]

Yeah

[wicked hound]

tho, cheapest 3000MT/s CL16 RAM is $50 and cheapest 3200MT/s CL16 RAM is $54

barely any price difference for that small perf increase, might as well

[viral elbow]

so I'm assuming you have the gpu already on hand? that's pretty solid

[spring chasm]

@viral elbow yeah

My friend is giving me his old card

[viral elbow]

nice friend

[spring chasm]

Yeah

A gtx 970?

[viral elbow]

yea that's the one i saw on ur list

[spring chasm]

Yeah

[viral elbow]

it's not gonna fly or anything but for most popular game it should handle it

[spring chasm]

Yeah

I'm not a multilayer shooter or reports guy I mainly play si gle player games

[valid sundial]

heres my setup https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/FgRzMv

[spring chasm]

Wow!

[valid sundial]

yeah

[spring chasm]

Amazing

[valid sundial]

mhm

[viral elbow]

that's a nice build

[valid sundial]

nzxt h510 is a great case

[wicked hound]

with its meh airflow, not really. Its just a meh case tbf

[valid sundial]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wicked hound]

that design flaw really shot itself in the foot

[viral elbow]

yea i love the look, i build one for my lil bro with the black one and got myself a white one just waiting on cpu and gpu to drop price

[valid sundial]

i dont mind it

im not picky

[spring chasm]

I tbink i might be leaning towards the Intel build i think but the mb311l is sold out

[viral elbow]

which cpu are you using for the intel and what socket?

[wicked hound]

you're losing perf on Intel

as your RAM will be locked to 2666

[spring chasm]

@viral elbow I was thinking the newer i3 10th gen cpu?

But again I'm not sure

[viral elbow]

i see, also Hei is right, intel decides to lock their ram speed and stuff on the board or the cpu i forgot

[valid sundial]

yea i love the look, i build one for my lil bro with the black one and got myself a white one just waiting on cpu and gpu to drop price
@viral elbow i actually have the black but the black h510 wasnt on pcpartpicker

[viral elbow]

still a very nice build and lisa is proud @valid sundial

[spring chasm]

@wicked hound okay so would the ryzeb 3 3100 be better?

[wicked hound]

Aye

[valid sundial]

[wicked hound]

If you compare them to same clocked RAM, Intel would've won. Problem is, Intel is stubborn, so they said "no OC, whether RAM or CPU, on budget boards"

[viral elbow]

[wicked hound]

Due to Intels poor decisions, they basically have zero realistic market until the very high end builds

[spring chasm]

Oh ok

I'm not to familiar with overcloxmkng thst just makes the cpu and ram faster right?

[wicked hound]

yeah

[spring chasm]

@wicked hound what ablut this with the 3100?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dzm3F8

[wicked hound]

it's like running around a track, each time you pass the finish line you can start a new instruction (so like doing some math or smth). OCing is basically saying "run around the track faster"

[spring chasm]

Ahh that makes sense thanks

[viral elbow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QkkjcT same as yours @spring chasm but just swaped out the board and the ssd, part of it because i cannot go back to anything slower than an nvme

[spring chasm]

Oh

Ok

So I don't have to worry about this

Compatibility: Warning! These parts have potential issues or incompatibilities. See details below.

[viral elbow]

yea, i think most of the b450 have their bios updated by default by this time, and the older a320 prob don't i'm assuming

but it's just some minor issues with pcpartpicker that wasn't updated

[spring chasm]

Ok

[viral elbow]

kinda sad to mention...but yesterday and the day before there were stuff on sale on amazon and newegg....

[spring chasm]

The @viral elbow yeah I know i could have gotten the i3 10100 for 99 bucks

[viral elbow]

🥲

[spring chasm]

Missed out on that

[wicked hound]

@spring chasm no.
Mobo is just bad. No PB2 auto OC that you dont need to manually do (which effects perf a decent amount), no Zen3 compatibility (next gen AMD CPUs which most newer boards will support), less RAM upgradability due to less slots, and Asus is kinda also just a bad company too. Company to company perspective, ignoring actual hardwre of the mobo, Asus is more corrupt and probably worse.
RAM is more expensive for no reason. Also Team Vulcan has had reports of not working as well with AMD's IMC
SSD is by far much worse. Worse protocol, worse controller, worse cache setup

[viral elbow]

but then the thing is intel mobo are more expensive so the money saved on cpu kinda goes there

[spring chasm]

@wicked hound oh okay

Again I'm not really sure what is good and what is bad

[wicked hound]

@viral elbow SN550 has no DRAM cache. Not that great of an SSD

nor HMB cache

[spring chasm]

Oh last

Again not sure what that means but okay

[viral elbow]

DRAM cache supports more read and write cycle and the longevity of the ssd

[spring chasm]

Ahh okay thank you

[wicked hound]

think of it like RAM but for SDD only

[spring chasm]

Again total newb here

[wicked hound]

if your PC had no RAM and had to use your HDD 24/7, think about how slow everything would be

[spring chasm]

Haven't had a desktop since I was 18 im 36 nowol

That does make sense

I've aways been a console guy

[wicked hound]

yeah, PCs are very complex. You can try and be basic but that might come back to bite you in the butt

[viral elbow]

that's a very humbling experience, I'm 22 and just got my hands on and built a first computer few months ago. always had a crapbox so I have a lower standard to things lol. But curious to ask why not get the next gen consoles when they're out? they are looking very good

[spring chasm]

Right

I've watched enough videos on YouTube i think I could build my pc but my friend will help me

[viral elbow]

and the series s is even cheaper

it is very fun I must say, you'll make mistakes but that's also part of the charm of building a pc

[wicked hound]

consoles vs PCs has little price difference tbf

[spring chasm]

@viral elbow yeah I've always wanted a desktop pc never had one since college

[viral elbow]

right, while the console is cheaper, the games are msrp most of the time so on the long run, steam will save you so much money

[wicked hound]

also you have to pay for online service

[spring chasm]

Yeah that's what I was thinking

[wicked hound]

cant single component upgrade

[viral elbow]

that's very true

[spring chasm]

You don't have to pay online to play games like ps4?

[wicked hound]

PCs keep their value for longer so can resell for more profit near end of lifespan

[spring chasm]

So if I want to play madden online on my pc I dont need s membership thing

[viral elbow]

man, can't wait for amd 5000series come out, tho they'll pro be sold out in minutes

[spring chasm]

That's assessing

Awesome

[wicked hound]

no memberships on PC

[spring chasm]

Tells you what I know

[viral elbow]

oh yea PC have no membership issues

[spring chasm]

The last computer I had was a 600 dollar laptop from sears rip and I played the sims 3 on the lowest settings lol

[wicked hound]

the only real difference between PCs vs Consoles is the experience

[spring chasm]

Yeah.

I like games like assassins creed red dead gts watchdogs those type of games.

[wicked hound]

and how you pay. PCs is more upfront while consoles is more spread-out

[spring chasm]

I play madden yoo

That's true

[viral elbow]

😢 $600 dollar laptop holy cow

[spring chasm]

That was like 8 years ago@viral elbow

It doesn't even work now I don't tbink

[viral elbow]

for normal usage it probably is still good

oh..

[wicked hound]

tho, high end PCs certainly dont cost much to maintain. Imma be spending like $500 to upgrade what was a low-ish / mid-ish end PC to a high end one cuz I fully resold and am building a new one

[spring chasm]

But I use my phone for everything

@wicked hound. Nice man

[viral elbow]

yea sometimes after tons of troubleshooting on a laptop just to find out it's the mobo that failed is quite heartbreaking, you end up with a dead brick

[spring chasm]

I tbink its in my garage to be honest

Lol

[viral elbow]

lol

[spring chasm]

But I can't wait to build my first pc

[viral elbow]

and absolutely, upgrading your pc is fun, sometimes it's bad for the wallet lol

[wicked hound]

only cuz I had old high end stuff: 6700k/16gb RAM/1080Ti/custom loop. Worth not to much individually (considering old i7 is equal to new i3 and 1080Ti is probs like 3060 perf or smth), but put it all together and sell as a system you can get a fair bit out of it.

[spring chasm]

Do I need any special tools or just like a screw driver

[viral elbow]

nicenice, and I don't want to discourage you or anything, do you have a monitor mouse keyboard all those stuff

just a normal philips head screw driver and a smaller one you'd be fine for the most part

[spring chasm]

@viral elbow well I work from home cuz of thr pandemic so I have a dual monjtor setup thst the office hsve me

[viral elbow]

tho some cases are stupid and needs allen head

@spring chasm ah that is perfect!

[spring chasm]

This is thr monitor

https://www.staples.com/hp-n223-3ml60a6-aba-21-5-led-monitor-black/product_24344117

[viral elbow]

do the monitors hurt to look at?

[spring chasm]

@viral elbow no not at all? Why do you ask,

[viral elbow]

Just curious, because sometimes the older monitors have that issue due to the lack of bluelight something technology or just the newer technology I have no idea what they're called

[spring chasm]

@viral elbow I haven't noticed

I won tbis keyboard and mouse in a work raffle thst I use

https://www.amazon.com/HAVIT-Rainbow-Backlit-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B016Y2BVKA

[viral elbow]

but it shouldn't be a huge deal! I might just be overthinking

[spring chasm]

Yeah

[viral elbow]

that's really nice

and you got it for free the most important part

[spring chasm]

Yeah foe typing im not a fan if the mechanical keyboard. The clicks are really loud

So I just use a 10 dollar Logitech wireless keyboard

[viral elbow]

haha, actually that is a problem... I use a lot of those old office keyboard so it always sound so dramatic even when i'm just chatting normally

but you got the mouse!

and it lights up!

[spring chasm]

Yeah ha

If I were to go intel should I only look for ram that's 2600 speed?

Is that the highest ram speed for Intel? Or is that depending on thr mobo?

[viral elbow]

the thing is

the highest ram speed on the market available is about 4400 i think, so there could be a huge difference and while you might not notice it now, you might notice it in 2 or 3 years, since by that time ddr5 would probably hit the market already

[spring chasm]

Ahh

[viral elbow]

and for intel ram speed, they're locked on the cpu itself

so for example, i3-10100, the max speed supported it ddr4 2666

[spring chasm]

So no matter what intel cpu you go with the ram is locked at 2600?

[viral elbow]

i think it depends on the cpu

[spring chasm]

Oh okay so if i were to go to the i5 late in would get more ram speed

[viral elbow]

like i7-10700 would be ddr4 2933

[spring chasm]

Oh ok

Makes sense

[viral elbow]

if you go into the store pages while you're searching for that specific cpu, on the category of "specification" or "spec", you could see the ram speed it supports, just fyi

and unfortunately i5-10500 supports ddr4 2666 only

[quaint lodge]

any1 got tips to get the 3070 when it drops

[spring chasm]

content://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/1602903124862825033003022128440.jpg

Yeah I see where it says 2600

[viral elbow]

lol, be lucky

[spring chasm]

Haha

[viral elbow]

nvidia only delayed their 3070 launch to see what amd has to offer on bignavi

[crude bay]

😭waiting for rog strix 3080 to restock

[lean flicker]

😭Ong

[humble hemlock]

i want evga ftw3 or FE hopefully soon be patient young grasshopper

[lean flicker]

I want fe

[cerulean cave]

I hope AMD releases decent cards this time. Give nvidia some compatition

[grizzled nimbus]

I want fe
@lean flicker sucks that fe isnt being sold

theyre some of the rarest 30xx cards out

now anyways

[crude bay]

too hard to getting one card

[silent wolf]

so I am looking to build a pc and I have a build that the 3070 would work great in. Is it worth waiting for it to come available. Like odds are I wouldn't be able to get one tell End of December or probs even later

[rich oasis]

@silent wolf yes

[crude bay]

how do u guys get your 3080? juz randomly spamming refresh?

[sacred folio]

i got mine at dell.com

but it was a msi gaming x trio i want the asus tuf oc

[faint kindle]

Just randomly checking all throughout the day for literally days. Checking every couple of minutes (seriously)

Still haven’t gotten mine shipped yet, though. Waiting on that

[lone pond]

What’s up

[topaz peak]

How is everyone doing with/without 3080? lol

[merry yew]

Guys i have the innovator J3 case and my gtx 1070 ti is doing quite a bit of noise so i want to put another case fan in, i have only a 80mm case fan for exhaust so can i flip it to intake and drop one more on the rear? but im not sure if that will impact my cpu cooler because it will be negative airflow ( cpu cooler drags in air and the rear case fan i want to put inside my case does the exact oposite)

[charred obsidian]

if you guys are looking for the new rtx 3000 cards id recommend using the distill web monitor chrome extension, got my 3090 using that last night

[round crown]

How does that work

[charred obsidian]

its an extention that refreshes pages for you in the backgroud and notifies you when theres been a change on the page. i set it up to refresh newegg and look at the "out of stock" label. it refreshed newegg every 30 seconds in background and when the "out of stock" label was gone it set off a notification sound. was able to grab a strix 3090 within seconds of it getting in stock

btw its not limited to a single page you can set it up for multiple pages and change the refresh frequency. its a pretty great extension

[raw zealot]

You have to pay for that?

[charred obsidian]

nope its free

[raw zealot]

Awesome thanks

[charred obsidian]

yeah np

[frigid grail]

Hello guys

anyone online that might be able to help me

?

[buoyant stone]

Just ask your question and when someone gets the chance they shall answer it @frigid grail

[frigid grail]

I need to know best cable for vertical gpu mounting

idk what the cable is called tho

[buoyant stone]

You want just the cable?

Or a whole mount and cable like this https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-PH-VGPUKT_02-Universal-Vertical-Pci/dp/B07MW73HTJ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=jimbouton-20&linkId=64dd161471b7e3f9e606a98b3ca19d86&language=en_US ?

@frigid grail

[frigid grail]

https://www.newegg.com/black-corsair-crystal-series-680x-rgb-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811139137

this is my case

idk if i need the mount or not

[buoyant stone]

You don’t need the mount. Just the cord

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGS7TD7?tag=corsair070-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1

You might want to search for a cheaper one that doesn’t cost $20 to ship lol

You want a vertical gpu cable if you want to look for one @frigid grail

[frigid grail]

awwww that one will work

i was looking at it yesterday

would that work for what i need it for?

like

are those things compatible with all mb and graphic cards?

[buoyant stone]

Should be.

[frigid grail]

bet ty

[lone pond]

I’m looking into buying a gpu specifically the 1660 ti, anybody know any deals at the moment or if it will be on sale during Black Friday?

[brave brook]

Most likely will be on sale Black Friday

So I would suggest waiting

Or cyber Monday

[lone pond]

Alright thank you

[crisp mango]

Greetings to All, I am brand new on discord and was advised by NewEgg Customer Service today to make an attempt here at asking a question they could not, or would not, readily answer. I am grateful to anyone who may be of any help. My Dell XPS 7100 from 2011 has become freight train loud and sloth slow - this is regardless of cleaning. My instinct tells me that, beyond needing to replace the HDD with SSD, the original build AMD Radeon HD 5450 GPU is the primary culprit. I do NOT game - nor will I ever - but Architecture does require gamer hardware standards as most are aware. The XPS 7100 is a secondary PC and does not need to keep up with my primary custom built studio rig - but I would like it to be fairly fast without killing my bank account. I have read that something in the range of the EVGA GTX 1050 ti would be excellent as an upgrade to keep this PC going. Also the existing (original build) PSU (DPS-460DB-4a) may have to be replaced in tandem with the GPU upgrade. I have read that something in the 650watt range is preferable for the 7100. Likely an auxiliary power connection to the new GPU will be required - beyond the extra wattage needed in general. This may be too much to ask total strangers online - but a huge thanks to anyone kind enough to give assistance on this front! EDIT IN CASE IT WAS NOT CLEAR: NEED A DECENT GPU UPGRADE & POSSIBLY THE PSU UPGRADED ALSO. THANK YOU.

[frigid grail]

I guess I missed the quesetion

[spice prawn]

@crisp mango what are you going to be using that system for?

[crisp mango]

Thank you for asking. This is mainly for being used as an extra work station in my studio - likely cad, revit, studio 3D max, lumion......that would probably be the max regarding GPU usage - otherwise we are talking streaming movies or music - however I usually just throw a few vinyls on my blackface 1210s and call it a day.

[spice prawn]

reason for asking is that the cpu in that machine is ... hellish slow

[crisp mango]

Currently the 7100 runs with 8 gb ram - which I believe is the max on that board?

the gpu is.......AMD Phenom II x6 1045T @ 2.7 GHz

[spice prawn]

that is the CPU

not gpu :)

[crisp mango]

sorry.....I mean CPU

[misty shoal]

Is an EVGA 700BR enough for an RTX 3070

[crisp mango]

So you're thinking the CPU is the problem - or just the entire thing front to back

[spice prawn]

are you certain it runs with a 8gig stick of ram?

[crisp mango]

I check it just now. 8 gb total. 4 sticks at 2 gigs each

[spice prawn]

okay

[crisp mango]

But I think I had already maxed it on ram

[spice prawn]

because the original "base" config of that machine is very weird

[crisp mango]

Yeah.

[spice prawn]

you "might" be able to upgrade it to 16 total

BUT!

[misty shoal]

Do you think an EVGA 700BR enough for an RTX 3070

[spice prawn]

@misty shoal dont know (because the 3070 cards are not out yet). But personally dont like the BR models.

[crisp mango]

Oh you're right. 16 is max!

[spice prawn]

@crisp mango the problem with ddr3 is age and cost.

[misty shoal]

The 3070 partner card recommendations are 650W-750W depending on the card

[spice prawn]

but IF you can find some that does not break the bank, then by all means :)

@misty shoal reviews. We simply dont know.

[crisp mango]

So....you're kinda telling me that the 7100 may end up costing the same to upgrade as it would to replace - or close to that. I am reading you right?

[spice prawn]

that is what it would all summarize to yes :)

IF i went through each part basically

again

[crisp mango]

[sigh]

[spice prawn]

that does not mean it cannot be used

just that it IS old

[crisp mango]

but I would want a new CPU and GPU and PSU at the very least - that's correct right? Even if I left the ram alone?

or is leaving the ram alone not ok

[spice prawn]

you can leave the ram alone, no problem

same for the cpu

you might be able to grab a GPU upgrade that works with your current PSU also.

what you are NOT getting around is a SSD

[crisp mango]

so the gpu would need to be minimum because i would not be able to utilize it as much without replacing other parts

[spice prawn]

kinda yes

so its a bit of a vicious cycle

[crisp mango]

so like a GTZ 1030? and a Corsair 650w?

GTX I mean

[misty shoal]

You mean GT 1030?

[crisp mango]

YES

yikes my typing today

[spice prawn]

you could most likely get away with a 450-ish W psu

[misty shoal]

You could probably go for a GTX 1050

[spice prawn]

but basically yes

[misty shoal]

with that PSU

[spice prawn]

and the GPU can be 1050-ish level (without upgrading anything) because you can find something that runs from the Port alone

[crisp mango]

Yeah I'd like to NOT spend cash on this - get it so that it is faster and not dying or killing me to watch - and then build another new

[spice prawn]

ssd is the path

[crisp mango]

1050 ti would need an auxiliary power connection though right?

[spice prawn]

TI (normally does) yes

[crisp mango]

oh- you're saying I mean to replace the hard drive

[spice prawn]

but something like the 1650 actually works of port power alone.

[crisp mango]

hard drive AND the GPU

lord

[spice prawn]

aye

you see how it is "eating" each other?

[crisp mango]

yes i do

thanks so much for your help.

and time

[spice prawn]

and no, i dont work for newegg or anything. So i have no beef with you deciding to NOT buy something

i just want to try and help :)

and you are very welcome :)

[crisp mango]

you have!

my hat is off!

[spice prawn]

:)

[normal hawk]

I have a low power 1050 ti

Lemme see what brand it is

Zotac

[main panther]

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/nzPgXL,MRRgXL/

is the 5700 xt thicc iii ultra comparable to the 2060s

[marble moth]

Any ideas when 3080s will be back?

[round crown]

Nope

Read manufacturer websites

[patent stump]

(Ping me) how much should I sell my 2080 for? Its a FE

@main panther people said its comparable to the 2070-2070 super

Just look up benchmarks on it

[arctic phoenix]

new drivers 5700xt is comparable to 2080

@patent stump prob around 450$, thats how much they sell for these days

[patent stump]

ok

I was gonna try 550

Its WAAYY overpriced but surprisingly people buy that on ebay

I bought it for 400

Thank you though

[arctic phoenix]

yea im just checking hwswap prices

[patent stump]

lol people on ebay

phew

overpay to say the least

[terse bloom]

https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-unveils-geforce-rtx-3090-rog-strix-gundam-edition

[rigid crag]

new drivers 5700xt is comparable to 2080
@arctic phoenix
Wasn't it already comparable to a 2070S which is like 1% worse then a 2080 lol

[slate ledge]

has anyone used EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 graphic cards before?

[rigid crag]

Many people have in here

[slate ledge]

its it good

and how reliable is it

[fervent obsidian]

are you buying one or?

[slate ledge]

maybe

idk yet

[fervent obsidian]

just wait for 3070 if you're still deciding

[slate ledge]

just trying to find a graphic card that is reliable and will not break in 1 year or less

[fervent obsidian]

whats ya budget for one

[slate ledge]

well $300- 400

[fervent obsidian]

amd may have something around that who knows

or wait for 3060

[slate ledge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w68HNP this is my build

i will change the psu tho

[spice prawn]

@slate ledge oh? so new psu now?

which btw is a very bad one

[slate ledge]

yes

[spice prawn]

ssd is still bad

ram is still wrong

and you are still paying extra for the wifi for no reason

as i said earlier, get the wifi on the mainboard.

[slate ledge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BqrVYg

[spice prawn]

what i linked you earlier still beats that list

and its still cheaper too

[terse bloom]

If he gets EVGA 2070, could always apply for step up and maybe get 3070 later in the future.

[arctic phoenix]

1% nah

@rigid crag

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6waeSoZlfE

oh it was the super version mbmb

[rigid crag]

Ah

[earnest nebula]

@slate ledge I have a EVGA RTX 2070 super KO and it runs like a dream I have not had any problems with it at all

[slate ledge]

I will just wait for the NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070

[earnest nebula]

It will hopefully be out in a few months

[humble hemlock]

they said end of the month

[spice prawn]

that is also what they said about the 3080 and 3090 @humble hemlock

so, until we see actual availability....

[humble hemlock]

i was talking about actual release date, but i get what your saying its a high poss that the launch will be as bad if not worst than 3080/3090

[spice prawn]

aye, very very likely it will be

[humble hemlock]

yea if it is a must have for someone they should look into renting a bot for a week and try their luck that way. I'm just patiently waiting for a 3080 no rush at this point.

[night zealot]

3080 20Gb rumors drops in December thats a nice touch

[round mason]

Its also 300$ more

In price

Just fir a vram uplift

[fervent obsidian]

waste

[round mason]

Indeed

[spice prawn]

@night zealot unless they can magically make more cards ... it aint going to help anything.

[night zealot]

True if its 300$ price increase then really no need for it its overpriced

[buoyant plinth]

So back in May I bought the Geforce RTX 2070 super, right now I'm running it through a Maximus VII ranger.

My question (and I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I would rather know for certain) but would that motherboard limit the graphic card in any way?

[low niche]

I am having trouble with my gpu on my laptop I have a gtx 1050 and I am not even playing a game and my gpu is using all 100% of it power(3504 MHz) and I am not even doing anything is my laptop done forever it also won’t load anything

[spice prawn]

@buoyant plinth not really

[buoyant plinth]

Well that's a relief

[spice prawn]

@low niche reset/reinstall you windows. That just sounds like its a borked install

@buoyant plinth however, your CPU is a limit

[buoyant plinth]

I'm running a Intel core i7-4790 CPU 4GHz

@spice prawn

[spice prawn]

yes

which is a very old chip by now

[buoyant plinth]

Yeah I got it at least 5 years ago

[spice prawn]

consider this

the low-end/budget option 3100/3100x AMD chip is faster

and you would not normally pair that with a 2070 card

[buoyant plinth]

At the time I was told that that CPU was the best one that could go in the Maximus, is that true?

Bear in mind that my pc knowledge is roughly surface level

I can look into things but I still need an instruction book to build a pc

[spice prawn]

sounds right, from memory

[buoyant plinth]

Hmmmm, then if I upgrade any time soon I should think a little bit harder on "future proofing"

[normal hawk]

4790 is still usable but only at 4k I think.

At least the 4790k is

[buoyant plinth]

Don't really plan to go up to 4k as I prefer frame rate over resolution, but that's good to know, thanks

So right now I should be looking at upgrading other parts if I do, thanks for the help @normal hawk @spice prawn

[normal hawk]

You'll basically need to replace quite a bit. Ram, mobo, cpu. For sure.

[spice prawn]

you are very welcome @buoyant plinth

but keep in mind, mileage may wary

what matters is if you are okay with how the system performs :)

[crisp ocean]

If I am planning on sniping a MSI 3070 card, where should I buy it from. I am in the US

[vital zephyr]

I'm running a Intel core i7-4790 CPU 4GHz
@buoyant plinth

same

[crude bay]

haizzz no restock for ftw and strix today

[restive grove]

hiddy ho how goes the RTX scalping today?

[paper current]

how much is a 1650 super

[brave brook]

Like 150

[marsh charm]

How long was the EVGA queue for the 3080s?

[upper mural]

Few days ago they where still on first days orders

[steel bough]

Hopefully they will have some in stock before the end of October.

[manic crescent]

ok i got a major question

rx 580 or gtx 1660 super

[brave brook]

Probaly 1660

[fervent obsidian]

1660s

[brave brook]

Wait how much is a 1660

I hella forgot

[verbal kelp]

uh 1660 is about 215-230

but its way better than 580

[opal coral]

What’s the best bet for trying to snipe a 3070. And what model should I go for?

[brave brook]

Wait when are they gonna realize agian?

[lone pond]

whatever model you think will fit you in appearance

[lean flicker]

Distill web monitor chrome extension

[lone pond]

most benchmarks on 3080s are just the FE

[brave brook]

When is it coming out

[stone raft]

How long was the EVGA queue for the 3080s?
@marsh charm depends on when you signed up

[marsh charm]

I signed up recently, should I just expect to have to go on Newegg or something like and try to be fast

[stone raft]

yikes

they just send out stuff for people that signed up on 9/17

sent*

you got a wait man

long wait*

[marsh charm]

wdym they send out stuff for people that signed up 9/17

[lean flicker]

the date

9/17

[stone raft]

^

[marsh charm]

So should i expect to have to wait for like >1 month

[stone raft]

ya

[lean flicker]

worth tho

free 3080

[marsh charm]

How often are the 3080s on Newegg restocked cause I know they sell out fast and the times they take to sell out probably increases for each restock

wdym free 3080?

With the help of distill web monitor

you never have to see the “out of stock” button ever again

[fallow pivot]

thank you ill have it sms to my phone

[marsh charm]

On this broswer monitor I get a notification, I refresh my page and they are still out of stock, what's wrong with it

[fallow pivot]

idk im trying to find out whether u need the subscription to get the text message

[lean flicker]

use tutorial

And you probaly picked wrong option of when to notify

@fallow pivot @marsh charm

[fallow pivot]

K

[eager dagger]

Any recommendations for a GPU under $200? I'm thinking about the Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB

[fallow pivot]

under?

isnt the 5600 like $280

[eager dagger]

sorry 5500 and I can go a bit over

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082KYFDYC/?coliid=I1VJNPKOEGPN16&colid=22J4MRFXVSIPH&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[fallow pivot]

If you can go a bit over i would look into a 1660 super

its around $40 more

the normal 1660 is like $20 cheaper but its not worth it compared to the super

[wicked hound]

5500XT is a bad choice. Get a 1650S or 1660S depending on how much you can stretch your budget

[fallow pivot]

1650S is really under budget and 1660S is like $40 over so yeah

[crude bay]

Hav u guys got any 3080 today in newegg?

[brave brook]

Nope I might get 3070

Yo

Me and Cthulhu have Same pfp wtf

[crude bay]

Couldn't get one 3080 since launch, tis is like buying something limited luxuries

[rare remnant]

Hello

I'm having an issue with rtx 2070 super , no display

Bot from neweg

[left rapids]

Anyone know if any anti bot measures in place for 3070 launch?

On nvidia website?

[rich oasis]

@left rapids no cards are sold on nivdias we site

Founder cards are now sold on bestbuy in the US

[left rapids]

Oh im in eu 🙁

[oak scarab]

I m in eu too

[lone pond]

rip europoors

[kind wigeon]

@left rapids there were no bots buying cards. If you check the pins in #general-chat, mike, a newegg employee, talks about it.

[crude bay]

Hmm, the prob isn't bot but the stock. I saw the comments increasing everday but I juz couldn't get one😭

[faint kindle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/jdva2n/fyi_the_fe_has_a_touch_of_rgb_along_the_x_of_the/ posted in general earlier but chat goes too fast so here it is again

[brisk flame]

[languid flicker]

Hello, any news on the strix 3090. I saw that best buy is claiming a release day of 10/21.

[charred obsidian]

[languid flicker]

[charred obsidian]

newegg

[languid flicker]

seriously or are you just screwing with me

[charred obsidian]

completely legit

[languid flicker]

damn, i am signed up for the auto notify. but they were probably gone before the notification could get sent out

[charred obsidian]

yup i have auto notify for it never got it tho, had to use the distill chrome extension, it refreshes the page for you in background and pings you when there is a change

[languid flicker]

cool

thanks i will give that a try

[kind timber]

what

money

how

college?

[fallow pivot]

how long where u trying for?

w distill extention?

[marsh charm]

if RTX 3080s come into stock, ping me so that I know if my web monitor isn't working.

Specifically the EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra Gaming

[high nimbus]

@marsh charm what web monitor do you use

[lean flicker]

Distill web monitor @high nimbus

[high nimbus]

I’m a big fan of snatcher

That being said most of Newegg restocks have been on Thursday or Friday on the hour mark in the evening the last 2-3 weeks

Like 7 or 8pm central. I would just check the app at that time on the hour

[charred obsidian]

@fallow pivot took about a week or so after using distill

[fallow pivot]

k

[marsh charm]

@high nimbus I'm using Distill and I have all my billing information ready to go so I can go as fast as i can

[high nimbus]

Do you have an iPhone?

Do you have an iPhone?

[lean flicker]

Hes on computer

[high nimbus]

iPhone Apple Pay is key

[marsh charm]

what does Apple Pay do

[agile parrot]

The fight is finally over

Messy table cause I'm building my new pc

[bright heron]

congrats

[steel bough]

It doesn't matter if it's messy. Good luck on your build.

[agile parrot]

Thank you

What a good looking gpu

I expected it to be massive but I guess not lol

[lean flicker]

It is

[rotund lagoon]

Let's say I wanted to be stupid and shove a gtx 1060 and a quadro 4000 on the same board. What it do

[marsh charm]

I'm getting the XC3 Ultra Gaming because I can't get the founders edition because my power supply doesn't have a 12 pin. Founders Edition looks dope though

[rigid crag]

So I bought a bstock 2060S and I was trying to install it however, the metal part of the card by the io that locks it in next to the motherboard is somewhat bent, and prevent it from lining up correctly to my pcie slot. Here's a picture that kinda shows it against a picture of a normal 2060 that slots in perfectly

Any idea on how to fix this?

[spice prawn]

any pipe wrench can fix that

[rigid crag]

Don't have one on me lol

[spice prawn]

well, you need "something" that is harder than the metal to force it back into shape @rigid crag

[merry rune]

if you've got a hammer, square the corner of the card up with a table and tap them back into place

[rigid crag]

I have some pliers, my concern is that I dont want mess up the pcb in any way. I assume the screws should safeguard me enough before any damage would occur tho

[spice prawn]

you place it, so it rests on a table

green part rest on the table

you tap/apply force to the yellow side

[rigid crag]

Alright, ill try

[spice prawn]

best of luck

[rigid crag]

Thx

My streak continues :)

[merry rune]

if you can get them most of the way in place by tapping/applying force, you can use the pliers to do the final tweaks to get them the rest of the way

that way you aren't torquing on the PCB too much with the pliers, since you'll just be doing smalla djustments

[sacred radish]

Is the 1660 better than the 1660 super

[rigid crag]

No

[sacred radish]

Oh cool

[rigid crag]

Well, I got it in and it posted, only problem is it as much coil whine as a jet engine

[wicked hound]

@rigid crag you should be able to take the bracket off. That way you cant harm anything else while fixing it. Tho seems like you got it

[rigid crag]

yep, thanks tho

any idea on the coil whine lol

[wicked hound]

when does it happen?

[rigid crag]

at the moment, all the time

[wicked hound]

might help with a PSU that has very clean power. Other then that idk

[crimson urchin]

whats better a 5600xt or 2060

[wicked hound]

5600XT perfs like 2% better in raster

Unless you plan to stream then 5600XT ideally

[rigid crag]

rm750x should be clean enough lol

[wicked hound]

yeah, so that's fine. Dont think you can do much other then replace a cap on it

[rigid crag]

no thank you 😂

[wicked hound]

Maybe get a case that can help. One of BeQuiets cases. Or maybe cover the specific cap with thermal pad and hope it can reach the heatsink (trying to sound insulate it without thermally insulating it much)

[blazing frigate]

is that thanos?

[crude bay]

Is newegg only restock once or twice a week?

[glad saffron]

Guys need help, should I go with a 3070 or 1080ti?

[marsh charm]

What's the price of the 1080Ti you want to get?

[glad saffron]

Honestly I was gonna grab whatever 1080ti I could get on ebay for 350 or less

[marsh charm]

Obviously the 3070 is a gonna be a far better card but we don't know how much stock there will be and it's going to be very difficult to get

The 1080Ti is still a really good card

[glad saffron]

I'm running a 1660 currently so both are very good upgrades

[spice prawn]

its also a really old card.

[marsh charm]

The 1080Ti?

[glad saffron]

1080ti isn't even that old

[spice prawn]

3½ years old now

[marsh charm]

Still a very good card

[glad saffron]

3.5 year old card out performs a year old card by a huge margin

[sacred radish]

why have 1660 supers gone up like 80 dollars recently

[glad saffron]

@sacred radish no idea, ive seen that as well and its puzzling

[lean flicker]

They stopped making them

Less product with high demand= price up

[sacred radish]

that sucks I was saving up for one

[glad saffron]

Oop

[sacred radish]

is there another card that performs similarly for a similar price

[spice prawn]

1660 Supers are still in production @lean flicker

[lean flicker]

Yea well its probaly in low stock

[glad saffron]

I might just go 1080 ti as I still run 1080p and the 3070 seems overkill for 1080p

[spice prawn]

depends on what you want from the card

if you want RT, you are out of luck (to some extent)

[glad saffron]

I dont really care for RT

[spice prawn]

same for DLSS

[glad saffron]

Again, not really caring for it

20 and 30 series cards are straight up horsepower upgrades to me. Im content with 1080p on ultra settings without RT or DLSS

I'm not much of a Visuals but rather Gameplay

[spice prawn]

aye aye, fair enough :) you are the user of the card :)

would not exactly be fair to not mention it thou @glad saffron :)

[glad saffron]

Yeah that's fair, shouldve said something about that lol

[sacred radish]

is the ventus xs oc a good 1660 s card

[terse bloom]

DLSS isn't always good. My cousin and a mutual friend of ours, both have a 3080. They've turned on DLSS for Marvel's Avengers, and said that it makes the game look worse, and causes their FPS to randomly drop.

[spice prawn]

DLSS is a "per game" choice from your end imo

its something that has the potential to be good or bad

very very rarely is it just "meh"

[wicked hound]

I see it on average being more ideal to use DLSS as an AA thing instead of major super sampling.

[stuck rivet]

[shell mason]

^^ agree on Naed's DLSS point
