Do you think a Radeon RX 570 8GB for 200$ is overpriced?

opal iron
royal copper
yes
opal iron
Ill see if the price drops on black friday
royal copper
best to get used, can find ~100usd
past crown
i need someone’s opinion on something
opal iron
What?
past crown
should i get a 5700xt or wait for the 3070 and spend the extra 100$?
opal iron
I would say get the 5700 XT but im not a expert sooo
eternal locust
@past crown don't pay retail for the 5700xt I'd do it if it was discounted
opal iron
Also should i get a gtx 1650 for 30$ less instead of a RX 570
Its only a 10 fps less difference
eternal locust
@opal iron in that price range you could cop a 5600XT
past crown
depends on what ur playing tho
crimson urchin
can a faulty gpu damage a pcie slot?
opal iron
Mainly warzone, tf2, Minecraft java and st battlefront 2
past crown
depends on how long you have it there and if it sags
it could pull the bracket around or provide lower performance
crimson urchin
i had a faulty 5600 xt and i returned it and got a 1660 super but now my screen flickers from time to time and im not sure if its my gpu, or if its my pcie slot
opal iron
You could have a bent pin
past crown
how many pcie x16 slots does your motherboard have
crimson urchin
2
past crown
try the other one
if it still does it then its the gpu
if it does and you get a different card and it still does it try to get a different motherboard if its still in warranty
crimson urchin
Nothing is displaying when i have it on the bottom pcie
crimson urchin
Since like september
royal copper
you have display cables in gpu not mobo right?
crimson urchin
Yes
royal copper
could be unsecure connection, make sure pcie slot clicked in all the way, top slot best. best way to know if it the mobo is trying it with a different mobo but that not easy for everyone
crimson urchin
I heard the click when I put it in the bottom slot
And I move it to the top and now it displays
But I still get screen flickers on the top
royal copper
you can check side of slot to see if it in properly
you install correct drivers right?
crimson urchin
Yes
royal copper
regardless i would try a ddu uninstall than redownload the drivers in case
fathom bear
Motherboard open box or new?
fathom bear
Yeah but mobo returns are usually garbage
Ideally they send you a replacement, but they usually won’t do that until you send the board back
crimson urchin
Oh
fathom bear
I had a broken fan header on one of my boards (I got it open box)
royal copper
rma take long time
fathom bear
Asus said it would take weeks to send a board back
So I never sent it. I’m sure they count on that.

How does a 1080ti fair at 1440p gaming, or should I wait for new amd cards
unborn river
I've watched many videos on the new 3000 series RTX cards and the 6000 series Radeon cards, but if I were to buy those cards, which would be the better deal?
royal copper
Best to wait for the reviews on the amd cards to really make a decision. Looks about the same reasons you would pick one over the other as last gen to me so far.
unborn river
ok, thanks
crimson urchin
If I dont screw in both sides in the gpu, will that cause sag, because the screw on the right side wont screw in all the way
twin meteor
people underate the gtx 1080 ti, its still a beast in 2020, its basicly has almost same or better performance than rtx 2080
past crown
yeah
someones got a listing for a 1080ti rig with a 9900k and 32gb of ram for 800$
i hope its legit
shell mesa
i mean if it is than that is one balling deal but you should check to see if it was used for mining
kind wigeon
i hope its legit
@past crown send me the link, i'll check it out
dw i won't snatch it up :)
royal copper
Mining cards arent always the worst, they are often undrvolted
past crown
yeah and can still be used
royal copper
My main concern with a mining card would be the fans
past crown
just have to reset them
the hardware
im sure you could find a usb drive for that tho
royal copper
If that was in good condition, not a bad deal
kind wigeon
oh wait it's a mining card?
royal copper
also considering water cooling
dreamy dragonBOT
RAAZEN#6895 has been warned
drowsy warren
I'd snatch that up and re-sell it
royal copper
The settings could be set back to default by bios and afterburner
kind wigeon
tru
royal copper
but if resold i woukdnt sell it for more than 1k
kind wigeon
but @past crown ask him for a pic of the build with a card with the date on it
make sure it's legit
past crown
i did
royal copper
Considering demonmit managed to make a build like that for about 500
kind wigeon
Considering demonmit managed to make a build like that for about 500
@royal copper this person claims "new"
wait
no
royal copper
Strange to be new and have older hardware
past crown
i asked him if it was still available and if he could send me a video of it turning on
and showing the system specs in settings
royal copper
idk what a x99a mobo is
kind wigeon
he either made a mistake or is trying to scam you @past crown
a bunch of mistakes too
shell mesa
i mean my grandparents listed an ooptiplex as a top of the line gaming computer because i was able to get fortnite to run on it
royal copper
Lol
kind wigeon
and I doubt it's real... he's pros going to use a background with a view of settings to show the fake spec
royal copper
optiplex + gpu op
past crown
i messaged him like a hour ago and nothing
kind wigeon
i mean my grandparents listed an ooptiplex as a top of the line gaming computer because i was able to get fortnite to run on it
@shell mesa this isn't overwhelming spec, this is just plain confusion- he listed an x99 motherboard from 2014 and a 9900k, which are incompatible
shell mesa
yeah
past crown
might buy it just for the gpu and cpu
royal copper
nah
kind wigeon
i messaged him like a hour ago and nothing
@past crown ask him about the mobo incompatibility, and if he's hesitating or giving excuses, walk away. only continue if he admits he made a mistake
shell mesa
and also the ram
royal copper
the cpu and gpu are worth less than 500
shell mesa
yeah there is that and i still think that you dont need that fast of ram
so that is probably a typo at the best and a scam at the worst
royal copper
And as i said demonmit managed a 9700k and 1080ti watercooled build for 550usd
past crown
if it is im just gonna go with what i was gonna originally build, a rx5700xt and a 3600
shell mesa
how much is that build and do you need it now because i would try to wait
fervent obsidian
5700xt /3600 is like a little over a thousand tops
past crown
yeah
shell mesa
yeah i would at leas2t wait till you can see the new amd gpus because with that budget you can fit a 3070
past crown
buts it also more expensive
shell mesa
only a hundred but you get so much more performance
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MfB9Gq here 1100 and it has an rtx 3070
past crown
alright
kind wigeon
haha
gl getting a 500$ 3070
I doubt you would, bc the fe and cheap ones are popular
all the aibs cost 550-600 tho
shell mesa
i mean you probably could get one by the holiday season and if you cant get the 3070 try for the 6800
i mean it shoudl be at least similar in performance because while you should take amds words with a grain of salt the benchmarks seem like there should be some merit to them
past crown
whats a fe?
scarlet lance
Founders Edition
It's the cards that nvidia releases rather than the third party ones
kind wigeon
@past crown no, it's got one of the best stock coolers you can find on a gpu with the passthru design
fathom bear
You don’t buy graphics cards because they’re “chonky” or not
fathom bear
If you’re being choosy about this new generation, you won’t get one
That being said in 6 months that should change
And as an engineer, the FE design is fascinating
kind wigeon
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
have you ever seen a strix card??!?!?!?
on the 3000 series
ur gonna look at those
and tell me
that the fe is chonkier
fathom bear
They’re $650 for 3070?
kind wigeon
that too
fathom bear
Complete waste of money
kind wigeon
well not really
crisp ocean
aa damn they just had some restocks
kind wigeon
it's 650 NOW, but it'll drop to 520, 530
fathom bear
You could literally just buy a 3080 or 6800xt
fathom bear
@crisp ocean I know I missed them too
crisp ocean
me too, best of luck
fathom bear
You too
crisp ocean
im gonna call em and ask when they restock, i live 30 min away from one
I have the msi cards in my cart so theoretically, if i just refresh the card i just gotta click checkout and ill be much faster lmao
fathom bear
Hmm, that’s an interesting idea
crisp ocean
im asking them if restocks of a product will remove the product from my cart
crisp ocean
strix isnt worth it lmao, almsot price of 3080
past crown
im only gonna get the 3070
id honestly be fine with a 2060 super tbh. not like i need it for that much anyways, always upgrade paths
crisp ocean
does newegg only stock in the mornings
crisp ocean
odds are no
and if they are itll be a very small sale
im hoping the new processors dont sell out fast
im counting on a r5600x for my build
past crown
the 3070 is still a good option
crisp ocean
3070 is the best card you can get atm
and it beats the 6800
which is the AMD equivalent
fathom bear
They like you better when you’re in store lol
past crown
scam
crisp ocean
ik i sent an email asking how often they restock, im going to head over there on election day
past crown
i can see it now “give me the 200 and ill send it trust bro i dont scam”
crisp ocean
3080 and 90 just had a restock
past crown
where?!?,!
crisp ocean
newegg
past crown
bruh
eternal locust
the 3070 doesnt beat the 6800 lol. according to AMD's benchmarks the 6800 outperformed the 2080ti. From what i've seen the 2080ti is slightly better than the 3070 primarily in 1440 and 4k. With that in mind the 6800 would beat the 3070 by a bit
shell mesa
why do i allways see pny 3080s in stock do they make bad cards or do people just not know
crisp ocean
Keep in mind that was a 208ti still, and and also the 6800 is more expensive for a gain that would nto be significant enough to spend more money on
and the benchmarks i saw showed the 3070 outperform the 2080ti
crisp ocean
I saw in 1440p and 4k too, only difference is vram holds it back
crisp ocean
regardless nobody will buy a 2080ti, and also amd cards had the smart memory
crisp ocean
best of luck
fathom bear
Supposedly they have a bunch. We’ll see
eternal locust
crisp ocean
i wantthem to redo bnenchmarks with no smart access memory lol
because thats boosting the numbers
past crown
yeah and not everyones gonna use it
eternal locust
they tryna get people to buy their CPUs
fathom bear
If you were amd, wouldn’t you?
eternal locust
hell yeah
crisp ocean
I mean iif i was AMD i would lmao
Love thjeir processors
but im still more of an nvidia fan gpu wise
even though theoreticallyI would be able to take advantage of SAM becawuse I will get a R 5600x
shell mesa
i mean them trying to sell more cpus is fine because they have specific support for that feature
shadow barn
Cant even answer my question smh
eternal locust
@shadow barn take it easy kiddo, what was your original question?
crisp ocean
cant even respond smh
spice prawn
@shadow barn if you are not around to answer questions yourself......
eternal locust
@shadow barn what's your gpu? if that's your pcie power cable then yeah. how many pins does the gpu use?
shadow barn
spice prawn
yes, that is just a standard 6 pin
shadow barn
So any can work
spice prawn
so take one of the 6+2 connectors you have
and use that
and yes, there will be 2pins hanging off to the side
and no
that does not matter
and yes, either of the two in your earlier pictures can work
because both are 6+2 plugs

3080 or new amd cards

i would honestly hold off
untill people benchmark the cards
to see how good the AMD ones are
fathom bear
Yeah a 2080ti is no pushover
green hatch
and plus more stock would be avaible
fathom bear
Just keep it
green hatch
hopefully
high patio
@green hatch Quite honestly, I'd keep the 2080 ti unless you actually really need to upgrade it for some specific reason. The 2080 ti is still an incredibly good card especially since you have it overclocked too!
crisp ocean
no 20XX series cards need to be upgraded. quite frankly, my 1060 has been fine in a laptop card besides the fact I have a 165hz monitor
lone pond
i wonder how many people have signed up for evgas que system
high patio
Yeah like litterally no one that owns a 20 series card needs to upgrade. Like the 20 series cards are still great honestly, and even the 10 series to be honest

and the queue is probably hellla long, i signed up for it too jic

@eternal locust If it makes you feel better, they do exist. Try microcenter when they restock

eternal locust
I live in connecticut i think id have to travel to new york to find one
Brooklyn or Yonkers would be the closest to me cuz im like an hour from manhattan
fathom bear
Only reason I say that is because Microcenter in Denver had hundreds of 3070s
I think they're sold out now, but maybe not
eternal locust
Theoretically i could catch the metro to brooklyn or yonkers and walk to the store hella early and i guess camp the line
it's in a city tho so might have quite a bit of competition
eternal locust
yeah lmao i mean i usually go into the city on a weekend to do stuff just havent since covid started

I feel ya. This year has been... interesting

What's weird, is the 3 stores in Ohio, all still had stock at 1PM ET. So that's 3 hours after they should have opened already.
I mean, yesterday.
fathom bear
The stock they had this morning had the same stock since yesterday
They didn't get a new shipment
terse bloom
Friend of mine tried to talk me into driving 3.5 hours to one of the Ohio store yesterday to buy one. I told him, if I was gonna do that, I might as well hit up all 3 stores.
Cause honestly, there's no guarantee they'd still have any in stock after 4 hours.
fathom bear
Did you go?
terse bloom
I'd doubt they'd get a new shipment of 3070 only a day after their release. Maybe 3080 or 3090, but not the 3070
Nah. I didn't wanna waste the time and gas. Like I said, each store was 3.5 hours away from me. About 400 to 500 miles, 7 to 8 hours round trip.
And as I said earlier, there's no guarantee they wouldn't sell out after 4 hours.
It'd be a different story if I could call, and ask them place to a hold on one for me while I drive out there.

I thought y'all had more computer stores out there cuz it's like california and you have silicon valley and all that
lone pond
naw
what a pain
but idk
i don't really wanna wait
so that's y i'm asking if anyone knows any gpu's similar to the 3070
terse bloom
Silicon Valley in California isn't about computer parts. It's about the implants. lol (bad joke, I know)
lone pond
😳
eternal locust
I dunno I'm okay with waiting for now just wanna have a good gpu by the end of the year and not overpay for it
terse bloom
"Similar" to the 3070? Price wise? Or performance wise?
terse bloom
You'll have to wait until AMD releases their 6000 series then.
Performance wise alone, the 2080ti but then you'd be paying double. You'd be better off paying the scalpers at that point.
terse bloom
Can always get lucky. My friend managed to get a 3070. Actually had it delivered today.
terse bloom
If it makes you feel better, $100 is to pay the ebay fees and shipping fees. So even at $700, they only make like $50
terse bloom
Oh well. I'm content with my 1080 (non-ti), so I'm not in a rush to upgrade. If I do, it'll only be for the 3080, to double framerate. Otherwise, I don't think the 3070's 50% performance upgrade will be worth it for me.
lone pond
ah well this is actually my first build so i'm new to all this computer stuff so i don't really don't know what half of this stuff means haha
eternal locust
@lone pond what's the rest of your pc? What cpu and mobo did you get?
lone pond
@eternal locust ryzen 9 3900x
eternal locust
wow you actually starting off with a high end build
eternal locust
i feel that
i really think alot of Ryzen CPU's
i got a 3700x
the 3900x will be great for editing for you

So I ordered https://www.newegg.ca/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3070-gv-n3070eagle-8gd/p/N82E16814932344?Item=N82E16814932344
Yesterday, when am I supposed to get the 30 series combo or whatever code?
fathom bear
The geforce now?
tired parcel
Yeah, or whatever else comes with it
fathom bear
I got it from microcenter this morning, and they sent me the code already
It's pretty useless though
fathom bear
Hmm yeah idk
tired parcel
Who would I ask about it? I just checked their website and it sent me here
fathom bear
I mean if you got the card, I wouldn't be too worried about it
Newegg has a chat that's actually quite helpful
tired parcel
But free stuff
fathom bear
I think it's only available during the week though
tired parcel
Aight, Ill try talking to them

Welp, my 3090 ftw3 ultra will be in stock estimated on 14th of november c:< Can't wait!!!

@clear frigate naw scalper
also what's the difference between a rtx 3070 fe and just a normal one?
cus i got a fe
clear frigate
Ohhh fair play, um I am unsure I didn't do a whole lot of research on the different cards as I was just trying to get my hands on one on launch
Lol sorry
lone pond
i got myself an rtx 3070 and it was delivered today good luck to you all trying to get 30 series. When 3080s back in stock im gonna pick up one of those too
y u need 2 graphics cards?
also @lone pond yk the difference between the founders edition and the regular one?

ah

@lone pond cus i don't know anything abt pc's

I am waiting for a 3080 to pass along my 1060 to replace a 1650
As you can tell my 1060 does my new rig no justice
and the 1650 gets pawned off on a cheap nephew lol
glad saffron
I have no idea how but my evga 1660 holds a 2Ghz clock without going over 70°
I have no idea how
lone pond
i guess getting to disregard the 3080s and 90s was just a reprieve from feeling the burn, huh
now its my turn to have the money to get the card i want and not be able to spend it
restive grove
I had the money, but then I gave up and built the 2nd rig with it.
fathom bear
Idk I got a 3070 and it’s pretty great
3090 waste of money tho
The 6900xt does look much better
normal hawk
It's not as much of a waste as my 2070 super which I'll be using for FHD 60hz gaming for a few months 😤
restive grove
I started out wanting' the 3070, but the Asus TUF 3080 is a better fit in my limited case lol
restive grove
Oh sure the FE will fit into everything, but I wrote it off as a collectors item.
restive grove
The way I see it I will be upgrading my cpu again before I buy a 3080
fathom bear
What do you have now?
restive grove
3600xt on asus x570 tuf gaming plus wifi
restive grove
my nephew loves for me to build a clones of my rig so I'll give him the xt
fathom bear
With a 3080, that might not be the best pairing tho, you’re right
restive grove
actually it pairs well
lone pond
I’m hoping to pair a 3070 with a zen 3 5600
fathom bear
Why not 6800 or 6800xt?
They’re supposed to take advantage of 5000 series processors
restive grove
lone pond
Ya know, I don’t know
zenith lagoon
Cuz I honestly don't know
restive grove
I could have bought a 5700xt out of Best Buy, but I just couldn't do it.
lone pond
What case do you have?
restive grove
Cougar MX410
lone pond
Is it particularly small?
restive grove
Max gpu length no radiator is 300mm
lone pond
I think my 220t case is like that as well
restive grove
Yup so Asus Tuf and EVGA 3080 only
clear frigate
What about asus dual
Or the msi ventus with 2 fans or are you only looking at 3080s cuz idk what cards there are for 3080 in which case I retract
restive grove
on the RTX 3080 launch day I could have bought a MSI 3080, but it would have never fit in my case
clear frigate
My question was if you are only looking for a 3080 but yeah I went and checked that I had only looked at the 70s cuz price range
restive grove
even the Asus 3070 is too long for my case.
clear frigate
Dang good to know
Guess I'll choose a case after I buy my gpu cuz I have options I'm considering and I guess whatever fits right
restive grove
Well it was an after thought that made me cancel the Newegg MSI card vs a failed trip to Best Buy for a Asus Tuf or FE card
So by limiting my gpu to my case max of 300mm in the search this is my list of cards to purchase
Basically all models of Asus Tuf and EVGA RTX 3070 to 3090
desert zephyr
heck, I just want one 3080... Been checking all day/night
wicked sand
im trying to do the same rn
i was lucky to get a 3070 tho

desert zephyr

wicked sand

desert zephyr

wicked sand

I thought it was funny that a scalper was in line for RTX card at my local Best Buy, while claiming he was waiting to buy a PS5...

Lots of people at microcenter scalping too. Because they wanted 3080s not 3070s

IS zotac a good card manufacturer
My mom stalled me going for an hour and now theyre out of stock
great
fathom bear
8gb is plenty of VRAM for everything except 4K gaming and maybe content creation
16gb overkill
normal hawk
Zotac is okay, They are the ones who make the LP cards for the 1050 TI and 1650 which are nice lowend GPU's. Don't know much about their other products. I've had a 560 TI and a 1050 TI from them
crisp ocean
It wont matter now they sold out lmao
Im keeping an eye out on microcenter though because odds are thats my easiest way of getting a card

@crisp ocean
Which Micro Center?
I'm keeping my eye on 4.
Madison Heights in Michigan.
St Davids in Pennsylvania.
Flushings and Yonkers in New York.
I've got a couple of friends, who I told them if I find one in stock at their store, I'm gonna message them, ask if they can go buy it for me. I'd send the money for it, plus an extra$100 to $200 to cover shipping, time, gas, and appreciation for helping me out.

what happens if they all respond and say its in stock? @terse bloom

@terse bloom the two in IL im keeping tabs on
terse bloom
@past crown What do you mean "they all respond and say its in stock?"
I'm the one checking online to see if it's in stock.
Not them.
If it's in stock, I'll message them and ask if they got time to go get it or not.
So if it is in stock at those stores, I'll just message one person, at a time, and ask if they can go get it for me or not.
past crown
ah
terse bloom
I wake up 2 or 3 hours before Micro Center opens anyway, so I'm checking their website for stock. If it says they have any, I'll message someone.
crisp ocean
there was a lot of stock in the IL stores, just didnt go in time
how long in advance do they say if they have stock?
past crown
couple hours
if the shipments confirmed and they get it theyll say the day before they put it on the shelves
