I literally live next to a bestbuy like bruh

[frigid bluff]

Yeah, i got the shipping error as well. I had the fe in cart and said couldnt ship to me

[opal coral]

What do you guys reckong a 2080ti will be on black friday?

[clear frigate]

What would y'all think if to purchase you had to do a two factor authentication or something?

[opal coral]

I would love that

[frigid bluff]

Evga has a 2080ti on there site right now for 699 if you want that

[raven fog]

Nah

[frigid bluff]

@opal coral

[clear frigate]

That's not bad though

[raven fog]

Ok but can someone answer my question

[opal coral]

Where is that deal?

[clear frigate]

Evga has a 2080ti on there site right now for 699 if you want that
@frigid bluff link?

[lone pond]

Zotac GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming Twin Edge 8GB GDDR6 or Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING OC 8GB GDDR6

[frigid bluff]

gigbyte

[lone pond]

why

?

[bold wolf]

i coped one of best buy

[plucky fossil]

Did anyone actually get a card?

[bold wolf]

i did

[frigid bluff]

Just in reviews and friends who have zotac they have had issues with them. I had a gigbyte an no issues

[maiden frost]

how hahaha

[lone pond]

@plucky fossil in my country there are plenty

i can buy one they are in stock here

[opal coral]

Damn, lucky. Congrats dude

[frigid bluff]

Buddy of mine got the 3070 FE, i tried and got the shipinng error

[lone pond]

only the one that i want isn't in stock

[bold wolf]

did anyone else here try best buy

[maiden frost]

what country?

[lone pond]

netherlands

[bold wolf]

US

[frigid bluff]

They are sold out in US at bestbuy, if you got one thats awesome

[bold wolf]

ye

[frigid bluff]

I just kept getting, not avaible in my area, and cant ship to my area

[misty shoal]

I got one in cart FIVE TIMES

[small tulip]

no luck for me I tried

[plucky fossil]

I got an error both times I wanted to add to my cart

[misty shoal]

FIVE TIMES and i didnt get one

[lone pond]

but do you guys think it is 20 bucks worth for the oc version of asus 3070

[dusk ivy]

6800xt out Nov 18th...destroys the 3070, and basically same price

[opal coral]

Why does best buy still have PNY GeForce RTX 3070 8GB Dual Fan Graphics Card marked as coming soon when everything else is sold out?

[misty shoal]

but much less compatibility

[bold wolf]

@lone pond not if you rly want it and its not out of stock

@lone pond i meant to say it is worth iut

[frigid bluff]

I mean could be holding back on it, amazon still hasnt listed anything that i can see yet

[fathom bear]

$20 is a steal compared to supporting scalpers

[bold wolf]

@fathom bear facts

[frigid bluff]

^^

[lone pond]

i think its stupid that gigabyte didn't make a dual fan design

[bold wolf]

oh

[frigid bluff]

they are already on ebay being scapled for 900

[misty shoal]

yep

[fathom bear]

They won't have much luck

[crisp ocean]

HAHAHA bestbuy selected me for a survey and asked me if im happy with the porcess

[fathom bear]

The whole reason people wanted 3070 was the price

[misty shoal]

yep

[frigid bluff]

Lol,hope you left them an earfull haha

[crisp ocean]

I basically said just fix your sh**

[clear frigate]

Does bestbuy have a queue thing? For after release

[misty shoal]

dont think so

[maiden frost]

they are selling for $900 on ebay haha people are so dumb

[frigid bluff]

Lol it was nice of them to add a queue portion at least, to try and stem off the scaplers. But then it messed the shipping aval

Or something else happened

[misty shoal]

when is amazons release

[stoic folio]

I might have ready ask this but want it be Stupid to buy the 3070

[clear frigate]

Ajjj

[crisp ocean]

how often did the 3080s get restocked

[frigid bluff]

apparently the microcenter near me had a couple 100, they give you the voucher, and just wait in line'

[clear frigate]

Dang

The question just becomes when stock will normalize a bit

[frigid bluff]

yeah, a friend sent me a picture of his voucher, funny since he told me he wasnt getting one so he could get the 3080 but, i guess his 1070 wasnt doing the work it needed anymore haha

They said, probably not til mid 2021, at least that is what evga guy said on twitter

[clear frigate]

Oof

[fathom bear]

Microcenter would've been a solid bet, but I had to work.

[frigid bluff]

luckily i work nights, but i was off and its raining, so i wasnt going up there haha

[lone pond]

the site where i just was going to buy a rtx 3070 just went down

[opal coral]

I might make the switch to team red if they have better stock, whats the compatibility requirements for the new cards?

[eternal locust]

^

[round cosmos]

Two 3080s were available on Newegg for like 5 hours today

[frigid bluff]

They are supposedly less severe in wattage

[misty shoal]

I GOT ONE IN CART AT MICROCENTER

[frigid bluff]

[misty shoal]

ITS LOADING

[fervent osprey]

i had one in cart at best buy and could not get to chechout

[frigid bluff]

[frigid bluff]

Hopruflly you get it, normally they always tell me store only

[misty shoal]

[fervent osprey]

yeah im trying to get to microcenter now and the site is taking forever to load

[real tulip]

[quasi geyser]

@real tulip nah, they don't usually announce it

[fervent osprey]

[real tulip]

@quasi geyser do u know when they're releasing on B&H?

[opal coral]

One person got one

[misty shoal]

[quasi geyser]

I'm not sure

And yeah b&h is overpriced

[real tulip]

@misty shoal theyre $499 tf

[limpid latch]

Microcenter wont do online sales for it instore pickup only and they are lines outsidecsince yesterday was told

[misty shoal]

oh it said 599 when i checked

[spice prawn]

if B&H had any, they would have released them by now (by normal logic at least)

[misty shoal]

amazon hasnt

[frigid bluff]

^^

[crisp ocean]

I dont think amazon has any

[spice prawn]

just because YOU dont see them, does not mean they dont have any

[limpid latch]

[limpid latch]

Bottom shows stock history

[frigid bluff]

Lol

[limpid latch]

Heh I was on new egg yesterday and had 3080 in cart n site crashed

They had ftw3 and pny, but noone wants pny

[misty shoal]

true

[quasi geyser]

is pny not a good brand?

I've had good experiences with their storage stuff

[misty shoal]

Im proceeding to checkout at microcenter

[spice prawn]

PNY is a just a brand like any other

[frigid bluff]

@worthy stag when. just now?

[frigid bluff]

bestbuy has taken them all off their site except the pny brand

[fervent osprey]

this launch is a mess

[quasi geyser]

could've been worse i guess

[limpid latch]

Eh pny always was the meh brand while back, asus then evga tbh

Maybe aorus ones but

If your going cheapest 699 get asus tuf

[quasi geyser]

evga's kind of off putting bc tbh their cards look kinda cheap
But they're damn good cards

[worthy stag]

@fervent osprey I got it at 8:03

[misty shoal]

@frigid bluff lol

[limpid latch]

That peob kicked u out wont let you buy more than 1 unless different brands

[frigid bluff]

apparently bestbuy is cancelling orders already

[quasi geyser]

yeah

they over-confirm

which i don't get tbh

[fervent osprey]

mabey is for the best people did not get 3070s so we can wait for navi benchmarks and reviews

[spice prawn]

because they have a problem in their e-commerce backend @quasi geyser

[quasi geyser]

That's what I;m doing

[spice prawn]

[quasi geyser]

[crisp ocean]

If a get a PNY ca it worth it

[misty shoal]

tbh any 3070 is worth it

[lone pond]

Where to buy graphic cards such as 1080ti, 2080, and such. Should I wait for releases. I’m trying to buy a graphics card around 500

[misty shoal]

cant buy a 1080 ti new

only ebay or other sellers

[lone pond]

mhm

if trying to get new for around 500-600 which would u recommend

[misty shoal]

rtx 3070 (if you can get on) or rx 6800 when it comes out

[lone pond]

I tried for the 3070

couldn’t buy after adding to cart 4 times /:

[misty shoal]

wait for rx 6800

[frigid bluff]

if desperate to game, 2060 KO isnt a bad card

[lone pond]

mhm thanks

[misty shoal]

or 2060 super

[lone pond]

is the rx 6800 going to be hard to get?

[misty shoal]

probably

[crisp ocean]

I doubt its going to be anywhere near as hard

[frigid bluff]

could always buy a card now and if within return time, like bestbuy is allowing returns until jan 6th, try and get in a 6800, if you do return the other card haha

any luck @misty shoal

[misty shoal]

loading...

although i put info in

and pressed review and confirm

[frigid bluff]

Good progress haha, lucky you can buy online, wont let me even tho im next to the headquarters, and original store aha

[crisp ocean]

[lone pond]

[frigid bluff]

perfectly good card if you dont want to try for the next gen, will do what you need

[lone pond]

thanks

[frigid bluff]

[lone pond]

I was thinking of getting that card but I’m just hesitant of new cards coming and prices dropping and such

[misty shoal]

its loading into order complete page

FINALLY

[frigid bluff]

They wont drop that much if they do, they never really do. 30 series has been out for a month now, and the 20 series hasnt dropped

[fathom bear]

Ooh are they sounding out surveys?

On the bright side their site didn't crash

[frigid bluff]

Now, i can finally go to bed, knowing ace got his haha,

[fathom bear]

[misty shoal]

@lone pond lmao

[misty shoal]

thx lol

[frigid bluff]

well im off, enjoy those frames!

[misty shoal]

[lone pond]

would the pny 3070 be worth it?

[misty shoal]

probably

a 3070 is a 3070

[lone pond]

im gonna try from bestbuy

a 3070 is a 3070
@misty shoal Ain't that the truth

[misty shoal]

lmao

[fathom bear]

They're all basically the same

[spice prawn]

i am just going to say this now.

[lone pond]

reviews

yeah

[spice prawn]

i will laugh, very very loudly, IF it turns out there is something wrong with the launch drivers

[misty shoal]

lmao

[lone pond]

that would suck

[fathom bear]

@spice prawn Me too

[spice prawn]

you know, just like the 3080 driver was effed

[misty shoal]

yeah

well lets hope not

[fathom bear]

They gimped the boost clocks pretty hard on the 3070 though

[spice prawn]

yes, it would suck for those of you buying the card

ofc

[fathom bear]

I don't think they will have a problem

[spice prawn]

its a different chip altogether @fathom bear

[lone pond]

then again, nvidia did hop on that problem quite fast

[misty shoal]

true

[spice prawn]

@lone pond not like their engineers had much choice on that

[lone pond]

true

damn, micro center just loaded. none ready to ship

[crisp ocean]

I invested so much money in AMD stock I hope they stop everyone out of the water

[plush canyon]

anyone know how to reserve an in-store GPU at microcenter?

[spice prawn]

@plush canyon talk with Microcenter about that.

[crisp ocean]

wait

were MSI's cards not released yet

[misty shoal]

They were on Newegg

[vivid jay]

If you don't have one on the way to your house, they're all gone my guy

[crisp ocean]

im assuming new shipments will come in like every day

[viral elbow]

my expectation was low, and I'm still disappointed

[crisp ocean]

so ill check newegg tmrw, but for best buy i think theyr e releasing the PNY cards soon

[lone pond]

would msi have released it on their site?

[crisp ocean]

They dont sell directly from their sight i think

[lone pond]

ah

[misty shoal]

Newegg: sold out

B&H: sold out

Micro Center: in stock, but in-store only

Let’s get AMD

[crisp ocean]

one bb card is showing as available but its bugged i think

[lone pond]

I’m gonna fly through micro centers window

[mortal thistle]

I invested so much money in AMD stock I hope they stop everyone out of the water
@crisp ocean I invest 115 shares AMD stock, my cost is $83

[crisp ocean]

i got 130 at 78

[mortal thistle]

If AMD goes to $100, I will sell it and buy their CPU and GPU

Now no way

I lose money

[crisp ocean]

its tanking

[mortal thistle]

Hold it

[crisp ocean]

but i bought it because i anticipate a huge growth during november and december

[mortal thistle]

Yes

$100 is possible

[crisp ocean]

im predicting more than 100

[mortal thistle]

I will sell if $100 anyway

Are you able to get RTX 3070?

All sold out

Lol

[lone pond]

how long do u guys think microcenter will have 3070 in store

[crisp ocean]

nope sold out faster than i though

[mortal thistle]

So this is what they said more inventory

Sold out under 1 minutes

RTX 3080 sold out under 1 second

[shell mesa]

i thought that i saw a 3070 at the microcenter in brooklyn \

[mortal thistle]

Too far away, I will wait

[misty shoal]

I got one from microcenter

[mortal thistle]

Wait for AMD or next year

[lone pond]

microcenter 20 minutes away worth?

[mortal thistle]

Cyberpunk delay to 12/15

50 minutes away for me

Not worth for me

[shell mesa]

any word on budget 30 series cards

[spice prawn]

@shell mesa no

[misty shoal]

3060 Ti is rumored to come out mid november for $400

[shell mesa]

dammit

[mortal thistle]

$499 is cheap

[shell mesa]

yeah that is not that cheap

i am talking like plausible to save my allowance and baby sitting money cost

not 500

[misty shoal]

400?

[lone pond]

for 30 series I don’t think so

[shell mesa]

like 300

[misty shoal]

oh

[lone pond]

naw fam

[misty shoal]

wait for 3060

whenever that will come out

[lone pond]

it’s going to be so hard to get

[shell mesa]

i really want there to be a 3050

[misty shoal]

no

there wont be

[spice prawn]

aint going to happen for a long while

[shell mesa]

i know but i still want

[spice prawn]

IF it happens

[shell mesa]

yeah

[misty shoal]

if you really want wait for 3060 or you could just buy 2060

[crisp ocean]

the fbi watching me refresh the page 1 million times

[spice prawn]

consider how many 16xx and 20xx cards are still out in the wild

[shell mesa]

nah i know that it would be a while which is why i am waiting

[spice prawn]

most of those have to be cleaned out for it to make any sense to launch something in the lower end

[misty shoal]

yeah

[crisp ocean]

LOL

[shell mesa]

i mean it is

[lone pond]

LMAO

[shell mesa]

i would just go to the retail store to try to get one

[misty shoal]

lmao

[shell mesa]

in NYC there is not that much camping in parking lots

[spice prawn]

and that is why reviews on vendor sites are useless

[misty shoal]

What do you think is a good price to sell a 2060

[lone pond]

1 dollar

to me

[misty shoal]

lmao

[shell mesa]

nah i would do 5

[lone pond]

LMAO

[quasi geyser]

Hell I would take it for 20

[lone pond]

like 475 used

25!!

[shell mesa]

hell i would do 50

[lone pond]

60

[shell mesa]

70

[quasi geyser]

Oh we’re going big here

[lone pond]

80

[shell mesa]

90

[misty shoal]

999 USD and its yours

[lone pond]

WOW

SO CHEAP

[misty shoal]

lmao

[spice prawn]

i would STRONGLY suggest that you all read the rules

[lone pond]

2060 ti super 1:1 exclusive

[fluid star]

Big navi

[misty shoal]

im not selling here im just asking what a fair price is to sell on ebay

[lone pond]

mhm

uhh look at prices on ebay

for competition

[spice prawn]

what was happening up above looks quite a bit like a bidding war.

[fluid star]

[misty shoal]

lmao

[shell mesa]

what if it was ironic

[spice prawn]

so for your own sake, try to avoid that.

[crisp ocean]

is the EVGA stepup program worth it

[spice prawn]

the rules dont really care about that @shell mesa

[shell mesa]

okay

[fluid star]

[misty shoal]

225-250 seems like a fair price TO SELL ON EBAY NOT IN THIS DISCORD

[shell mesa]

yes it does

[vivid jay]

Those are all gone too lol

[fathom bear]

Does microcenter still have cards?

Unfortunately won’t be able to go until the end of the day...

[misty shoal]

[vivid jay]

I hope all the stupid scalpers get stuck with the cards they bought

[lone pond]

[fathom bear]

Not that I would advocate doing this but...

[crisp ocean]

I might just sign up for the evga upgrade program

Once you get your purchase email you have 8hrs to buy

[crisp ocean]

Whos site?

[fathom bear]

lol evga has no 20 series cards in stock either

[vivid jay]

Evga

Fair warning though I signed up on 10/6 and really not expecting an email till at least January

Just a total guess though, I dunno how many they're keeping for their system and how many they're shipping to retailers

But it's better than nothing lol

[misty shoal]

Best buy has/had a cyber power prebuilt with 3700x and 3070 for 1300

[fathom bear]

Tempting

[shell mesa]

lol i would just buy a used 2080ti

i just saw one on craigslist

[eternal locust]

Not a bad price but you could still build one for cheaper and with a better power supply and mobo

[misty shoal]

theres some really good deals on used 1080 Tis

[shell mesa]

yeah

[misty shoal]

yeah but you cant buy a 3070 @eternal locust

[eternal locust]

😭

Come on man

[shell mesa]

i would just say that because of the pandemic there was a much bigger interest in gaming and pc building so i think that it is best rn to wait it out

[eternal locust]

Honestly it really do feel like everyone got into gaming and self builds

[shell mesa]

yeah

[toxic topaz]

🍿

[shell mesa]

i mean i have a gaming laptop with a 1050ti and i still decided to build a pc

[fathom bear]

It makes me a little sad that people buy 3070/3080 for their first pc

They don't appreciate the speed

[crisp ocean]

I am buying a 3070 for my first build, im using a 1060 and im so excited

[fathom bear]

First pc, not first build. You'll definitely appreciate it

[vivid jay]

Was rocking a rx390 in my first build, ever since then I've had a 1080. Want a 3080 so bad lol but I can wait

[eternal locust]

Gaming laptops are kinda a bad idea I used to think that's what I need but cooling isn't great and there's no headroom for many upgrades

[misty shoal]

Im replacing my 2060 with a 3070

[toxic topaz]

i just need 2 more parts for my first build!!

[shell mesa]

i should just get a job and then build a better pc and gift my current one to my cousin

[eternal locust]

Have a decent laptop now but it's a certain dell with many many bios updates that haven't been fixed which leads to game crashes and display issues

[fathom bear]

Can confirm. Job lets you buy better pcs.

😄

[eternal locust]

😯

Wonder why that is

[shell mesa]

i might try to get one at the microcenter do you think that they would hire a 15 year old

[fathom bear]

You probably have to be 16

[eternal locust]

Wait you're only 15?

[fathom bear]

And microcenter is more selective probably

[eternal locust]

I was gonna say 16 the minimum in alot of states

[shell mesa]

nah you can be 14 and get a job

NYC

[misty shoal]

only at certain places

[shell mesa]

i looked it up and they dont say no

[fathom bear]

Retail minimum is 16

[shell mesa]

oh it is

[fathom bear]

Pretty sure

[misty shoal]

depends on state

[eternal locust]

You could mow lawns for money or crap like that did that when I was younger

[fathom bear]

Stain decks

[eternal locust]

I dunno about in the city tho lol

[fathom bear]

That's good money too

[eternal locust]

Paint houses do landscaping work for a family member

[shell mesa]

yeah but i am in a city where you mow the concrete

[median rapids]

I ordered my Graphics Card Yesterday and Newegg locked me out of my account

[eternal locust]

Maybe house cleaning

I dunno

[median rapids]

Wtf

[misty shoal]

what gpu?

[shell mesa]

i am baby sitting already but the money goes to saving for college

[median rapids]

Rx 5700 XT gigabyte

[eternal locust]

Strange

[median rapids]

I dunno how to unlock my account

[eternal locust]

@shell mesa you could do uber eats on a bicycle that'd be ideal in the city they might be picky about age tho

[misty shoal]

talk to customer service

[median rapids]

Goddamnit I just wanted to see if my package was shipped or not

This is a nightmare

How do I find out what my account number is?

[median rapids]

If I'm locked out

[pliant verge]

i didn't get a 3070 😦

[eternal locust]

Me neither and I was pounding the refresh button and add to cart

[misty shoal]

rip

I was constantly refreshing

[eternal locust]

Literally had one stolen from my cart

By a crazed need

[misty shoal]

but got lucky at microcenter

[eternal locust]

Nerd*

I bet alot of people gonna get their 3070s and bend pins tryna put them in

[misty shoal]

yep

[eternal locust]

Maybe they'll throw some thermal paste in the pcie 4 socket

[shell mesa]

good idea

[misty shoal]

a lot of unexperienced people will probably get them

[eternal locust]

@shell mesa props to you for being into building your own rig tho youre at a good age for it

Just hard to find money for everything

[shell mesa]

it is called saving christmas and birthday money along with a couple of baby sitting rigs and a sold kidney

i didnt sell my kidney but it was difficult to save up money

[viral elbow]

nice profile pic

[crisp ocean]

the only good thing thats come out of best buy is the cooler i want is $60 off

[misty shoal]

which one?

[crisp ocean]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-hydro-series-h100i-rgb-platinum-240mm-radiator-cpu-liquid-cooling-system-with-rgb-lighting-black-silver/6306564.p?acampID=0&cmp=RMX&irclickid=Wvf1pW03dxyLWNO0MKVSfWfHUkE2zawNRVRQWM0&irgwc=1&loc=PCPartPicker&mpid=79301&ref=198&refdomain=pcpartpicker.com&skuId=6306564

[misty shoal]

thats a good deal

[crisp ocean]

yeah im happy

[shell mesa]

that is a really really good deal i think

[cerulean sinew]

Do the performance of the gpu changes if it is from zotac or msi or asus ?

Does that mater ?

[lone pond]

from the reviews, very slightly bc of cooling. other than that its the chipset that matters

[cerulean sinew]

So only the temperature changes

[crisp ocean]

Does nvidia reflex lower ping?

[shell mesa]

nah that is a thing with wifi it lowers the time from the click of the mouse to the time it reacts on the screen

[crisp ocean]

Ah, so it kinda helps delay just a different typee

[lone pond]

temperature changes that lead to small performance changes

[shell mesa]

yeah

[opal iron]

Would a 8gb Radeon RX 570 be able to run most vr games on steam?

[misty shoal]

570 or 5700 or 5700 XT?

[opal iron]

Just the 570

[misty shoal]

theres an 8gb version?

[agile parrot]

anyone in here get a 3070?

[misty shoal]

I did

I got very lucky

[agile parrot]

congrats welcome to the 30 series gang its all uphill from here

[misty shoal]

lmao

[dusk ivy]

Waiting for 6800XT...16gb ram and its 8% faster than the 3080

[misty shoal]

8% with smart access memory

so you need ryzen 5000

without its about equal

[dusk ivy]

Haven't heard about this? Souce

Got a source

[agile parrot]

the stream

[misty shoal]

AMD

[dusk ivy]

Makes sense though

[agile parrot]

yeah look up smart access memory amd

[misty shoal]

there is a disclaimer at the bottom saying with rage mode and smart access memory

[agile parrot]

either way im gonna be upgrading from a 3700x to 5950x for my 3080

[misty shoal]

cool

5600x took my eye

[agile parrot]

then i can relax and lay back with my first top of the line build

[misty shoal]

would go well with my 3070

[agile parrot]

oh yeah it would

hopefully these specs on my pc will last me a few years

32 gb ram, 3080, 4tb of ssd, and soon a 5950x with a kraken x63 on itr

[misty shoal]

They definitely will

[clear frigate]

so how would the card perform without a zen 3 cpu

[agile parrot]

im thinking about custom looping the gpu but we'll see, i might use the kraken gpu water cooling thinkg

[clear frigate]

just on par or worse

[misty shoal]

which card

[agile parrot]

we dont know

[clear frigate]

darn

[agile parrot]

wait until the reviews but its probably going to be worse than 3080

[misty shoal]

^

[agile parrot]

thats why they showed everything with smart access memory and not without iut

it*

[misty shoal]

without SAM and rage mode it wont keep up

[clear frigate]

because if thats the case im surprised the 6800 is at a higher cost than the 3070

because i was around the same for that too no?

[misty shoal]

6800 is 580

3070 is 500

[clear frigate]

yeah

[lone pond]

in our country they are 600

[midnight current]

can i put a new gpu in a prebuilt

its a prebuilt with a open case

[spice prawn]

normally yes

there MIGHT be a problem if its a weird formfactor

but that would normally just mean you have to buy a more expensive gpu

but you can still upgrade it

@midnight current see above

[midnight current]

ok thank you

[spice prawn]

another potential thing that might have to be upgraded at the same time is the PSU

but until you start seriously thinking about doing a GPU upgrade. its not something to worry about

[boreal nymph]

@vital zephyr yeah if so you may wanna go all out for a graphics cards instead of breaking super even but if your not looking for more than 1080 - 1440p gaming then you should not upgrade what so ever as games are currently cathing up to graphics cards not the other way around

[clear frigate]

so question I guess just as a future buyer, what is the better card between a 1660 super and a Ti ive looked at benchmarks and stuff but I am still unsure? appreciative if anyone has an answer (aiming for a 3070 but if all fails including the 6800)

[spice prawn]

@clear frigate basically nothing

[crimson urchin]

can someone link me the cheapest 5600 xt u can find

[spice prawn]

@crimson urchin search on PCpartpicker and sort by price :)

[clear frigate]

nice nice so basically search both and just look for the best deal if all else fails

[spice prawn]

aye

[clear frigate]

thanks @spice prawn

[spice prawn]

that is an option

you are very welcome

[crisp ocean]

im on with best buy, anyone got any questions they want me to ask em?

[spice prawn]

focus on your own reason for calling

and get of the line so other people that want to call can call

[kindred lion]

Ace did you get your gpu?

[crisp ocean]

He did

[kindred lion]

Nice good for him I tried but wasn’t successful lmao

[misty shoal]

yes

[crisp ocean]

Im lowkey jsut gonna set up auto refresh on newegg every 15-30 seconds

[misty shoal]

I got very lucky with microcenter

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I JUST GOT AN ORDER CANCELATION

[terse bloom]

I had to go to work, so I didn't bother going to Micro Center. Funny thing is, as soon as I got there, they gave me a suspension. (Called off too many times, plus late once.)

[crisp ocean]

WHAT

[bright minnow]

I didn't make it though I don't live in usa but it got out of stock very fast in denmark tho

[crisp ocean]

IT CANCELLED YOUR ORDER?

[bright minnow]

getting the 3070

[misty shoal]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

MICROCENTER WHY

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS

[bright minnow]

Did you get teh 3070? @misty shoal

[misty shoal]

I did but they just canceled my order

[bright minnow]

Rip

feels bad man

[crisp ocean]

how do I label an item on bestbuy as notify me

wtf

[misty shoal]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[fathom bear]

You don't

[misty shoal]

Rip 3070

[fathom bear]

And yeah, you don't have a new gpu until it's in your hand sadly

[crisp ocean]

hopefully since i have a gpu in my cart for newegg, I can just refresh my caart and when its available do a one click purchase

[misty shoal]

dang it microcenter

[tulip sand]

Bots ruin launches

[misty shoal]

yep

[tulip sand]

I went to my local computer store they only had 2 and people was waiting for 4 hours outside I was 10th in line. I went to Best Buy and they was useless.

[misty shoal]

I had purchased one but my order was cancelled a few hours later

[tulip sand]

That sucks!

My birthday is today and I was hoping I could get some birthday luck 😂 didn’t work

[misty shoal]

lmao rip

[clear frigate]

Hap birth though but unfortunate

[tulip sand]

Thanks 😂😂

[lone pond]

the PNY 3070 graphics cards havent released yet on bestbuy. i wonder if they are bugged

[high nimbus]

how do I label an item on bestbuy as notify me
@crisp ocean notify me is not a great method for sourcing the 30 series cards

[crisp ocean]

the PNY 3070 graphics cards havent released yet on bestbuy. i wonder if they are bugged
@lone pond They are i asked support

@crisp ocean notify me is not a great method for sourcing the 30 series cards
@high nimbus They said I would be notified before theyre on sale lol

[lone pond]

any release time?

[crisp ocean]

Nope I asked

[lone pond]

oh

[crisp ocean]

They arent available lmao

[opal coral]

I have a pc built just missing a graphics was hoping to snag a 3000 series but missed on both launches. Still going to try on the 6000 series but what would be a decent cheap gpu to hold me over, or should I buy one and return it later with the longer return policy on stores rn?

[crisp ocean]

theoretically, yes

[opal coral]

Which is the better idea tho? Buying a cheap on or getting a better one and returning it when I get one I want. Second option sounds kinda scummy to me but what do you guys think?

[crisp ocean]

second imo, thats what I was going to do

[high nimbus]

@high nimbus They said I would be notified before theyre on sale lol
@crisp ocean Maybe they've added a new notify system, but last time I checked I was added to notify me on the BB app, and haven't received one notification yet. The supply goes to quickly. I think a rep came out and said the stock has to be up for about 5 minutes before the app will notify.

[crisp ocean]

That is for newegg, not bb

could be for bb too, though

[fathom bear]

Best Buy doesn’t have notifications

[fluid star]

Ppl saying amd won this war

Is it true

[fathom bear]

AMD hasn’t shown up to the battlefield yet

[fluid star]

When will be realesed undepantent reviews

[high nimbus]

Ppl saying amd won this war
@fluid star cards not even for sale. Anyone saying anything definitive at this time is pure bullshit.

[fluid star]

When will be ? Then

Im waiting to buy someting until the balack friday

[high nimbus]

When will be ? Then
@fluid star after extensive benchmarking is released

[fluid star]

Anyway im hyped abouth navi series

[fathom bear]

I’m not hyped about anything. I just want a card. Any card.

You can’t really even buy a 2070s right now

[lone pond]

I really hate that you cant buy 2070's rn

its like the scalpers bought them to manipulate the market

[kindred lion]

do you gusy know if the 6800 can be run on a 3600?

[lone pond]

Not for sure but it should be possible. It is likely that your cpu will be somewhat bottle necked

[kindred lion]

yeha i figured

lmoa

[fathom bear]

Every system bottlenecks, that’s why you don’t get infinite FPS 😛

[kindred lion]

so would it matter that much?

[fathom bear]

It’s tough to say. If you’re playing at 1440p or 4K it will definitely matter less

I would keep the processor and test it first. If you don’t like it, buy a new one.

I doubt you’ll hate it though

[kindred lion]

what about a 3600x?

[fathom bear]

I don’t think there’s much of a difference between those

Someone else can correct me

[kindred lion]

yeah there isnt but i had one laying around idk if it would make a difference

[fathom bear]

It certainly wouldn’t hurt

[kindred lion]

yeah true

[fathom bear]

It may be a detriment to your performance if you don’t have a 5000 series cpu though

[kindred lion]

ill probaly end up upgrading anyways

[fathom bear]

They did some sneaky stuff there

[vivid jay]

Yea their new memory on the 6000 will pair with 5000 series cpus

Smart adaptive memory or something like that, let's the cpu directly use memory from the card itself

[misty shoal]

smart access memory

you also need a 500 series board

[clear frigate]

(oof i just saw the name change back)

[molten shoal]

did 3070 release today or am i missing something

[royal copper]

yes it did release today

most otu of stock now

[molten shoal]

damn

lemme guess

double the cost for resale now

[daring tusk]

triple actually

[fathom bear]

Scalpers got greedy

Even though more people got cards this time (I think)

[clear frigate]

1500 scalped price?

[opal coral]

I’m looking to buy a graphics card to just have a placeholder in my rig until I can get my hands on a new gen card from either red or green, what would be a good $150-$200 place holder card that can still play games well?

1080p is all I’m looking for until I get the better card

[fathom bear]

Suggest buying a used 1060 or 1660

It won’t lose much value when you turn it back around

[opal coral]

Is ebay trusty to buy used gpu or what website would you suggest buying and then later flipping on?

[fathom bear]

eBay or hardwareswap on reddit

Check seller reviews

And yes, I would sell it later unless you want a backup card

I haven’t decided if I’m keeping my 1060 or not

[gentle island]

Anyone that got a good quietish fan curve for the PowerColor RX 5700 XT Red Devil

[eternal locust]

https://youtu.be/o_N7S9iEP7U

2080ti still a better card

[fathom bear]

If y’all wanna be depressed, go look at the sold listings for 3070 on eBay

Hundreds already

[eternal locust]

Take away message is lets just get 6000s series cards lol

[fathom bear]

Mark my words, same thing is gonna happen

[eternal locust]

obviously

[fathom bear]

This ain’t an Nvidia exclusive

[clear frigate]

i just need a gpu

[eternal locust]

I just wanna have something decent before the end of the year to put in my setup

[fathom bear]

Pretty much everything overpriced rn sadly

[eternal locust]

bro honestly

[misty shoal]

The Ebay listings for 3070s make me sad knowing one of those was almost mine...

[eternal locust]

it feels like they charging way too much for 2 year old cards as if they were brand new

[fathom bear]

That’s what I’m saying

I wouldn’t even care about the 3070 if they charged reasonable prices for old cards

[eternal locust]

like no one should have to pay release date retail for a 2070

it aint new anymore

[fathom bear]

I bought a 9700k for 50% less than they released it for

They should be doing the same thing with gpus

[eternal locust]

Its funny even CPUs are kinda staying at a high price on some things lol

back in september when the orginal Zen 3 announcment was gonna be newegg dropped prices by a decent amount on Zen 2 cards then jacked them back up a week later

[fathom bear]

Zen 3 is overpriced rn too

[eternal locust]

kinda hoping they have a really good sale on some 5700XTs soon

end of the day i wouldnt mind one if it was cheap

[fathom bear]

Same

[lone pond]

having all the 2xxx series priced the same still just give scalpers levrege to keep scalped prices... cause like, well i cant buy a 3080, but i could buy a 2080ti, but then i could just buy a 3080 off ebay... its a conspiracy..

[eternal locust]

what exactly is a conspiracy? that the 20 series are overpriced?

[lone pond]

that they dont lower them now that next gen is out, and next gen isnt even purchasable except for overpriced scalp prices on ebay... so u cant even buy the old stuff cheaper...

[eternal locust]

oh yeah

If demand is up theyll keep the prices up

[lone pond]

yea...

'enforced demand'

lol

[eternal locust]

aint that the truth

and they sure have built into it with all the 30 series hype

[lone pond]

yea.... i mean come on ur in charge of a billion dollar company, in the leading field for ur type of chip, from the very start of that type of arch...

[dreamy dragon]

wallabi#8489 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lone pond]

and u hype up that much, with 0 stock

and 0 bot protection?

msi got got selling cards on ebay at scalped prices

i mean come on

[eternal locust]

People say that story has been exaggerated

[lone pond]

there market share went up because of the extra demand from crypto, now they use asics.. gota keep the same yearly fiscal some how.

over priced 2000 series

[eternal locust]

but none the less it's good to have competitors for nvidia

[lone pond]

non existant 3000 series, over priced on ebay, with still the over prices 2000 series

[dreamy dragon]

wallabi#8489 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lone pond]

personaly i think jensen is slimy, always trying to monopilize some new feature and make it propietary....

[eternal locust]

yeah thats true

[lone pond]

ray tracing isnt a propietry thing, but what does he do? rushes it in as a propietary feature 'rtx' instead of just full standard dxr

because he knows amd is working on it for consoles next gen

so he tried to 'lock in' pc support

[eternal locust]

its crazy all the new consoles are getting their hardware from AMD it always used to be nvidia no?

[lone pond]

they have always been mixed

[eternal locust]

didnt a standard xbox one have like a 970 or something like that?

[lone pond]

this is the first time its all amd for all

[eternal locust]

or was it a 700 crad

card

970 would be kinda alot

[lone pond]

first xbox used a propeitary nvidia chip from the time of the current line up that had a extra feature that was held back from pc for like a yeare

something to do with t&l

gamecube was ati

for the gpu

[eternal locust]

ahhh

[lone pond]

ps3 had a ibm power pc chip with a nvidia gpu

[eternal locust]

i dunno how they can make consoles so cheap for their performance

guess cuz of other fees

[lone pond]

there performance comes from the lack of overhead from windows

and direct shared memory\

not virtualized access for virutal shared memory like on a laptop

[eternal locust]

yeah not as much of an opperating functional system

[lone pond]

compiling a game with its gfx api (dirextx/opengl/etc/whatever sony uses) directly to hardware is a massive difference

[eternal locust]

Wait so what specific cards they putting in the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, like a 6700 or 6800 probably?

aint they promising 8k?

[lone pond]

somthing like tht

and without the wndows overhead

it very well could

[eternal locust]

they must be getting them cheap

[lone pond]

look at the ps4 specs,

its complete trash by todays pc standards right?

[eternal locust]

yeah lol

[lone pond]

but the game still look amaizing right?

[eternal locust]

the Ghz is garbage

i think most of them clock at like 1.8 not that would matter as much for a console

[lone pond]

its also apart of another conspiracy

as why microsoft dosent port and sell directx compiled for use on linux as a offical wine plugin

because then u culd make super striped down linux kernels with no x enviroment to play games and get massive performance gains

competing with consoles

cause sony ps3+ games have been directx?

figure that out

[eternal locust]

lol

[lone pond]

microsoft has there own console, but thye give sony low level direct x api access to compile game swithout windows?

lol.

[eternal locust]

Its funny I kinda wish i played console for the sake of money to performance

at the same time

nah

it should be cheaper to buy GPUs for private use tho

[lone pond]

tbh, i prefer multiplayer games on console over pc

way less cheaters

[eternal locust]

yeah i dont care as much about competitive multiplayer unless its with some friends theres some fun story driven games id rather play on pc and content graze the scenery and gameplay

[lone pond]

yea i dont go hard on competive games at all anymore, like ill buy them.. play for like 2-3 weeks, then wait until the next 1 comes ut then go back and play it when the cheaters move on

[dreamy dragon]

wallabi#8489 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lone pond]

like bf1 and bf3 right now is really good games

bf4 still has cheaters though

[eternal locust]

Yeah i cant say i touch overwatch, warzone, fortnite, csgo

they kinda repetitive

[lone pond]

ive never installed and played a single game of overwatch or fortnite lol

i also stay away from 'normy' games.. games that i consider ppl who would never of played a game on a pc and thought it was cool until they played 1 of those games on pc type peoples lol

[eternal locust]

I like shooter RPGs like some of the borderlands tho those are fun multiplayer shooters obv not competitive tho

[lone pond]

like among us

like,, 'its just a space station 13 rip off for kids'

[eternal locust]

lol its pretty simple but fun

with friends

[lone pond]

its way simple lol

🙂

yea it does loo kfun

but, i know about space station 13

haha

[eternal locust]

I look forward to the next GTA drop that'll test some of the new GPUs i bet

prolly next year

[lone pond]

i think there gonna drop the cartoon artsyle and try realism like gta4 again

[crisp ocean]

TWesting mynew keyboard

as you can see I gotta getr used to it lmaop

[eternal locust]

very nice does it have light up keyboard?

[crisp ocean]

Holpefully Evga will be able to supply the preorders fast

and yeah tis the apexpro, ive justnevber used mechanical before

so my spelling si terrible

[eternal locust]

all good

[lone pond]

is that the hall effect board?

i was thinking of getting that or a hexgears gemini... still havent decided

[crisp ocean]

Hall effect?

[lone pond]

the omipoint switch, if u have that model

[eternal locust]

As long as it has pretty lights and goes clicky click thats what matters

🤓

[lone pond]

it uses magnets to distract actual electrons to decide if a key was pressed

https://www.hexgears.org/products/gemini-dusk-mechanical-keyboard @eternal locust the hex gears

but the steel series with hall efect .... cant decide lol

[crisp ocean]

Oh yeah it has omnipoiiutmnswitches

because i need a keybopard with low actuation

[eternal locust]

Looks pretty cool

[lone pond]

yea thats hall effect, that knob on the top right u can set how far u need to push the key, i think there post to update there software soon so u can do it per key in windows later

[crisp ocean]

oh mine just showse a gif

[lone pond]

yea the windows software part

even if u use that over the knob it does all keys, later they said they will make it so u can do diff levels per key... read it somewhere

[eternal locust]

I'll be honest with you I have never thought much about what keyboard or mouse I use I kinda been a bum with my hardware for a while

Deadass gonna play on a simple crap keyboard for now to save a lil money

[lone pond]

im using the cooler master mm710 right now for a mouse

totally amaizing

[crisp ocean]

[eternal locust]

Might get a mid tier gaming mouse

[crisp ocean]

my sace bar is on 3.2mm and every other key ios on .8, which might be a mistake

[lone pond]

yea then they allready updated it

so u can tune every key

thats tight

[crisp ocean]

odds are the 3070s wont have more stock today right?

[eternal locust]

Hell no

Have your heart set on one?

[lone pond]

there isnt going to be 3000 series stock in numbers greater than 100 anywhere till they change from samsung to tmc 7nm next year

[crisp ocean]

honestly i might jsut call up microcenter and ask em if i can somehow get one

[lone pond]

if u have certain credit cards

u can call them

and they can obtain 1 for u

[wary sand]

probably be a line for the phone calls as well

[lone pond]

i tied to buy a 3090 when they came out, made it to enter shipping twice.. at bestbuy

have the money, would of bought 1

but guess what

couldent buy 1

aint gonna have any problems using the same money to buy a new 5000 series cpu and a 6800xt

[languid knot]

Im still waiting for EVGA step up

[lone pond]

[languid knot]

No to get a 30 sereis

[lone pond]

thats the problem

[languid knot]

[fathom bear]

I don't have to work tomorrow

[crisp ocean]

I might just go very early saturday morning and hope they have stock

or early on election day cause we dont have school that day

[slow field]

which is better? 1080ti, 2060 super, or 2070?

[zenith lagoon]

1080 ti

But If your looking for a better card then the 2060 super and the 2070 go with the rx5700 xt

Or wait till the 6000 series amd gpus come out

[eternal locust]

@zenith lagoon you think the 5700 xt better than a 2070?

[zenith lagoon]

Its the same

[eternal locust]

I dunno maybe equal to with some driver updates?

[zenith lagoon]

trust

Its acc really good

There are lots of driver updates

[eternal locust]

I've seen some promising bench marks recently

[zenith lagoon]

for the xt?

5700xt?

its such a good card

[eternal locust]

Yeah it was after a big update it was a lil faster than the 2070

[zenith lagoon]

ye

for like the same price as a 2060 supoer

super

[eternal locust]

Yeah there were some decent sales on it not long ago made it like 340

[zenith lagoon]

ye

black friday and cyber monday

prolly

gonna have really good sales

[eternal locust]

That's what I'm kinda feelin

[zenith lagoon]

yye

[limpid latch]

@fathom bear not bad fridays seam to be good mornings for maybe FedEx shipment with microcenter, ut you'll have 3080 3090 and 3070 ppl waiting

[lone pond]

6800xt or 3080 from what you have seen, which one would you choose

[eternal locust]

According to AMD their 6800xt is better but we'd have to see actual third party benchmarks first

[lone pond]

ok

i will keep checking

[eternal locust]

Pricewise it's looking better

Like 649 if I remember correctly

[shell mesa]

I think that if you have the ryzen 5000 series CPU’s than it will probably be better but I think that they will probably be pretty similar

[lone pond]

A 1080ti or 2080 super??

[fathom bear]

@limpid latch How early do you think people will be there?

[marsh charm]

when was the last time Newegg restocked ASUS or EVGA 3080s?
