[rotund kernel]

I game at 1080p, is there any card that can give high framerates on 1080 without spending all that money?

[crisp ocean]

1660 super

how much money are you willing to spend

because i get 60 on most games on 1080p using a 1060

and on games like valorant or rocket I get around 140? so a 1660 super should be more than fine

[twin shuttle]

same here, 60 fps 1080p using a geforce 1060. Wanna upgrade monitor and graphics card for new cod but im being indecisive. So many products out there!

[frigid pine]

So whats the difference between a regular 2060 and a 2060 ver 2.0? Because the ver 2.0 is less bought and cheaper and I don't know why.

[crisp ocean]

V 2?

do you meean super?

[frigid pine]

nope

heres an example:

[crisp ocean]

Ah its not like V2, the more expensive one is overclocked2

and its a different model

[frigid pine]

all I see is that the cooling layout inside is slightly different

[crisp ocean]

hold up

both are overclocked ;-;

Ah i see,

the more expensive one isn't sold by newegg, its a third party seller

meaning they chose to lsit it higher

[frigid pine]

oh

thanks

[stuck token]

500?

[frigid pine]

also, the cheaper one was $580 a few weeks ago

[crisp ocean]

They

[stuck token]

isn't that too much though

[crisp ocean]

are shipping from hong kong lol

and yeah way too much

MSRP from a 2060 is 350, got lowered to 300

[frigid pine]

oh

[lone pond]

i just want a 3080 man

[crisp ocean]

Best buys didnt sell out for a couple minutes

they were kinda just

[lone pond]

yeah they have a special stock system

[crisp ocean]

sitting there

[fathom bear]

Because no one could buy them lol

[crisp ocean]

oh rip lmao

[lone pond]

their buying system isn't the same as other websites

prevents scalpers

[crisp ocean]

Mando if you live near a microcen ter, go to one

[lone pond]

im in oregon

[crisp ocean]

oh im so sorry

[lone pond]

so uh

pretty far

[fathom bear]

It prevents bots, it doesn’t do anything against scalpers

[lone pond]

dumb scalpers it does

[fathom bear]

Lots of scalpers only have one or a few cards

[lone pond]

alot of scalpers don't eve nplay games

selling these

[crisp ocean]

I mean

I see their reasoning

[fathom bear]

I was in line with 50 other people at microcenter for 3070

[lone pond]

wot

[fathom bear]

A bunch of them were going to resell because they wanted 3080

[crisp ocean]

like I wouldnt mind using my 1060 for longer if i didnt game freque ntly and if i sold mine for 3-400$ of profit

[fathom bear]

So yeah, a lot do play the games

If they don’t want it, they will sell it. For profit.

[crisp ocean]

I understand why I lowkey wanted to resell my R5 5600x

[fathom bear]

I considered selling my 3070 too.

And buying it again later

Decided against it.

[crisp ocean]

My parents just wouldn't let me resell lmao

[lone pond]

one guy bought 100 grand of ps5's to resell

[fathom bear]

It’s not worth the risk imo

[crisp ocean]

I saw someone who would trade their 3080 for a ps5

[lone pond]

wait could i have my family member down in california ship me a 3080 from tustin microcenter

?

O.o

[crisp ocean]

so I was tempted to sell my 3070 for a ps5, and get the 3080 lmaoo

[spice prawn]

@lone pond that seems like a small order

[crisp ocean]

They don't do shippiing, only in s tore

but they could pick it up and ship it

[lone pond]

yeah 2nd one

[stuck token]

if you're lucky enough you'll find them in store

and probably outrageously overpriced

[crisp ocean]

[crisp ocean]

Yeah dude

[lone pond]

[crisp ocean]

its really small lmaooo

[lone pond]

the pcb isn't that large either

on all the cards

[stuck token]

thats 570

for me

shipping is 7 dollars for me

[crisp ocean]

I know

I got it for 550

so like microce nter is cheaper

[stuck token]

ik its just the cooling design on the fe and like

just makes it look huge

[lone pond]

best buy doesn't have the TUF

pepehand

[stuck token]

lmao

someone said they copped the last 3000 series card at a best buy before

like in store

i'm surprised but not at the same time

[lone pond]

i maybe could

but the best buy close to me is like

fry's electronics decided not to sell it

[stuck token]

damn

[lone pond]

pretty surprised on that

[stuck token]

frys be like that sometimes

i haven't heard about frys in a while

[lone pond]

[fathom bear]

Walmart online is even worse

It’s almost all 3rd party sellers

[frigid crypt]

he literally said gpu and said the budget for the gpu

[daring tusk]

ah

he said card i thought he meant build

ok then nvm

disregard what i said

[swift marsh]

@lone pond im not suprised. Scalpers are returning them at the 15 day mark so they don't lose money. It's people buying them to flip them and cant afford them in the first place.

[frail kraken]

Okay guys, as you know, Amazon extended their return period up until 31st of January 2021. I am building my pc from scratch and I want a RTX 3070. However, for reasons that have been much obvious, I can't get one currently. My question is, if I get, let's say like a RTX 2060 Super, and return it when RTX 3070 arrives, am I essentially borrowing a decent gpu for free?

[brisk flame]

look into amazons return requirements

im not sure if it allows you to return any product for any reason

[frail kraken]

well, they say that unless the card is damaged by the user, it is easily returned

[brisk flame]

well, i guess that would be fine

[abstract hound]

I’m see some really cheap graphics cards on eBay which are listed as broken but lots of people are still bidding for them? I checked some of those warranty and they seem to still be valid. Is it worth buying these and try get a replacement?

[chilly bison]

hey guys

when do you think the 3070s are going to be in stock again

any clue?

[brisk flame]

nope

no clue

[chilly bison]

rip

maybe other people do

[brisk flame]

probably not

[chilly bison]

didnt u already ask that abov

above

[frail kraken]

sorry, i had to ask again, no definitive answer, sorry again

[brisk flame]

i gave you homework to do

go look into amazons return policy

[steel smelt]

Are non founder 6800 series cards releasing the same day as the founders cards?

[spice prawn]

AIB cards? considering we are already seeing pictures of some of them, then yes

[steel smelt]

@spice prawn yes, thank you I couldn't think of what to call them. Okay, just thought I would check because I thought I read or heard somewhere bthat they would be releasing at a later date.

[spice prawn]

they might

but generally, when we see cards from AIB's they are close

but again, we dont know, and the people that do know. cant tell us :)

[stoic folio]

Hey guys just want to ask a question but would a rtx 3070 bottleneck a ryzen 2600x btw I well probably upgrade my cpu somewhere after Christmas

[spice prawn]

would it matter if it does?

[stoic folio]

Depends how bad it is

[spice prawn]

the 2600x is what you have right?

[stoic folio]

Yep

[spice prawn]

then unless you can upgrade it "now"

then there is nothing to do but be okay with whatever it gives you :)

[stoic folio]

Ok I will see if I can get one if not i’ll get 2000 for the meanwhile or long-term

[acoustic crest]

yo if i see anyone complain about not being able to get a 3070 again with this tuf combo sitting on newegg for like half an hour.......

[fervent obsidian]

i don't wanna pay extra for a combo

[acoustic crest]

apparently you can return the mobo. you just have to pay shipping

@fervent obsidian tons of people saying they returned their bundle item without issue

[golden summit]

Sold out on the combo.

Just tried.

You go to checkout and they say no more 3070 available in stock.

[old trout]

You can return the combo item

[warped loom]

I almost got the combo

on checkout it said not in stock so hmm next time

[daring tusk]

damn had it in the cart and it wouldnt go to the checkout screen

tried on the mobile app and it said there was a stock error

[icy hamlet]

how i can preorder rtx3070

[daring tusk]

you cant

[crisp ocean]

Odds are you can;t

[daring tusk]

evga.com has a waiting list

[crisp ocean]

evga has a sort of waiting list

^

[icy hamlet]

ok i will see

[upper mural]

Newegg just got stock of Tuff 3070s which they all bundled with stuff. they where up for a straight 15 min and might even still be

[warped loom]

not from the looks of it

[daring tusk]

i ahd the bundle in my cart for like 5 minutes trying to checkout but it wouldnt work

[upper mural]

I see. I didnt try to checkout

[lone pond]

they were only up for around 3 minutes before sold out, website said that they were in stock for 10 min

I have a friend who got one at 2 minutes in and I couldn't get one at 4 minutes into the drop

[warped loom]

we will try next time

[upper mural]

I was in at the 2 min mark. But i decided to pass cause i want a AMD card

Or the TI version of the 3070

It seems AMD forced Nvidia to up their product stack. The 3070 ti will get the 3080 die if the rumors are true

[kind socket]

does anyone know how to watercool a gpu other than nzxt?

[crisp ocean]

you can buy a water block for gpus

[kind socket]

but thats expensive

[daring tusk]

yup

[kind socket]

ya i was looking for cheep

[daring tusk]

you could tie some ice to it (im joking dont do that)

[crisp ocean]

Lol I dunno how you want it cheaper man

[kind socket]

and i dont like how the nzxt cooler looks

im just asking are there any other models

or brands

[crisp ocean]

what model

[kind socket]

2060 super

[daring tusk]

i think evga has one

[kind socket]

hmm

[crisp ocean]

What brand?

will it work with this?

[upper mural]

The g12 Kraken bracket is the cheapest way

[kind socket]

but it looks too jank

will that evga work with my gpu?

i posted both links

[crisp ocean]

My main question is why do you need to watercool a GPU

[kind socket]

cuz its fun

so do u know if itl work?

[crisp ocean]

No idea I don't know much about water cooling gpus

[kind socket]

oh

[crisp ocean]

Besides the typical water blocks*

[daring tusk]

the document you sent says it works with EVGA 2080/2070

so im assuming as long as the pcb has a similar layout it could work. you should ask EVGA customer service though

[kind socket]

ya

ok

[muted goblet]

Does anywhere have 3080’s?

[chilly bison]

if you guys were to have a guess

when do you think the 3070s would be in stock again

[daring tusk]

its completely random

just keep checking throughout the day every day

thats what i do

[chilly bison]

im asking because i dont have the money rn but ii will after a few paychecks

[kind socket]

tbf it was on election day

[limpid latch]

yea

iread that u said 1 in stock on site

[crisp ocean]

Yeah I was hyped lol

3090

[crisp ocean]

ohhh

[limpid latch]

had coil whine

[crisp ocean]

Lmao what was hee thinking

I mean the ventus 3x isn't the best but $500?

Thats crazy

[karmic charm]

One monitor is 480 and 60hz and the other is 1080 and 144hz

[limpid latch]

for trading each

[kind socket]

ya is can prolly do that

[karmic charm]

[torn lynx]

hey guys so when i have msi afterburner open and i have "enable hardware monitoring and control" turened on, my pc will crash after i put it too sleep, super weird problem, any fixes?

[limpid latch]

i loaded the gaming oc bios and im getting close to benchmarks i had on ftw3

when i get my waterblock will be good

[crisp ocean]

Yeah the main drawback of the ventus is the cooling, you'll be fine

[limpid latch]

yea and 350w limit stock

[torn lynx]

?

[crisp ocean]

I would do that deal in a heartbeat lol

[limpid latch]

msrp isnt much of a price difference 1559 and ftw3 1799

so 500 isnt bad, i didnt wanna send the card in for coil whine and thats alot more money

[crisp ocean]

About a $100-200 profit including paying off the tax, you probably got the better deal

[limpid latch]

eh i made even

i paid 2200 for it a "friend" picked it up and made me pay more

[crisp ocean]

Thats scummy im sorry

[limpid latch]

well he had a tuf 3090 for 2k ugh, i told him id buy that off him but sold that earlier

[crisp ocean]

Did you get the card in dupage or cook county?

[limpid latch]

westmont

id have bought it they had 1 last one till 8pm

[crisp ocean]

Ok so I assume the taxes on the cards were a lot less

[limpid latch]

my other friend went there to get a new case n walked out w/ 3090

[crisp ocean]

Microcenter had some issues with properly updating their stock and availability

but hey you gotta get what you can t ake

[brave wind]

so your saying i should take a drive down to microcenter tomorrow and see

[limpid latch]

7.5% at westmont for tax

There isnt much of a difference compared all cards, as long as it clocks higher than the fe

Zotac supposidly doesnt oc well

[steel smelt]

You recon if I called Microcenter theyed tell me if they had a 3080? Nearest one to me is 3 hours out.

[sand drum]

someone was selling a aorus 2080 ti xtreme for 700

that’s half the price for what they’re going for rn

[twilit cradle]

Anyone know how the return policy works for combo items on newegg?

I got an msi 3080 with ram but dont need the ram so how would i return the ram?

[dawn plover]

im pretty sure numorous people have returned the other item

i dont know how it all worked out

[twilit cradle]

Yeah thats why went for the combo, but idk how to go through the returning process since this is my first time using newegg lol

[cedar creek]

so i have a 1070 ti and i want to get either the 2070 super or 5700xt but i found a 2060 super for 250, what would anyone one here do in this situation

[dawn plover]

dont buy either the 2070s or 5700xt, its going to be better if you wait and get a 3070

[cedar creek]

lol dont have that kind of money

[dawn plover]

if you need a temporary card, go for it and you can resell it

bruh its 500 bucks, a 2070s and 5700xt are similar-priced iirc

[cedar creek]

and im very impatient, also forgot that its only 499

lmao

[dawn plover]

ahh no worries

or you might be able to get a combo and return the other item, although im not sure how you could do that

[cedar creek]

yeah its from a private seller so couldnt do that

i found a 2070 super for 400 but i happen to see that 2060 super for 250 brand new

and was like wow

i seen in some benchmarks that the 2060 super gets around 10-13 or so fps less than the 2070 super, just trying to figure out if i should just get a 2070 super or not lol

[dawn plover]

jus get the 2060s, there's no need to pay lots of money for a 2070s when you can get better perf at the same price

and as i said, you can use the 2060s as a temporary card then resell it somewhere and get the 3070

[cedar creek]

true

[halcyon python]

You’d probably be able to sell the 2060s at the same price or higher, 250 is cheap

[cedar creek]

i know it really is

[dawn plover]

yeah

[cedar creek]

and when he said it was brand new aswell, i was like man i should just buy it to re sell it lmao

[dawn plover]

honestly

[cedar creek]

but no this 1070 ti is showing its age lol

[dawn plover]

haha you can probs resell that as well

[cedar creek]

yeah

[sinful crater]

what would be a good gpu for assassins' creed Valhalla ultra high preset 1080p 60fps

[sand drum]

depends on budget

@twilit cradle u can’t return the ram it’s a bundle

if you want to return you have to return the gpu as well

just sell the ram sticks or save them for a future build

[naive girder]

Have the Radeon 6000s been posted yet

[sand drum]

not yet

[naive girder]

Do you know where it’s gonna be

[sand drum]

november 18th bro

[naive girder]

No like posted

Not selling

[sand drum]

they will be on newegg for sure

but they will sell quick

it’s gonna be hard gettin one

they will be on the AMD website as well

[naive girder]

Isnt there a bunch of taxes on the preorder

Also is it gonna be on Amazon

[bleak garnet]

sorry for bothering you all, but i need some help choosing a card for my system. my cpu right now is a ryzen 5 3600 and i would like a good card that wouldn't break the 250 dollar budget. idk if thats possible, im just getting into pc gaming and im confused on what i should look for.

[raven fog]

is this real?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nvidia-GeForce-RTX-3080-FE-Founders-Edition-FREE-FAST-SHIPPING-IN-HAND-/353272946968?nma=true&si=3VYpJDNzKETNGaumZ63C462C%252FTs%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

[bleak garnet]

i mean the listing just ended

[twilit cradle]

@sand drum it wasnt a bundle it was a combo

They have different restrictions i believe

Bundles you have to return both. Combos u can return singular items. I just don't know where to navigate

[winter mulch]

for a grpahcis card should you get 16gb rgb ram or 7888 processer

[spice oasis]

@bleak garnet just look around on the used market in your area and online 1080 ti are still really good

like i got a 2080 super 400 dollars while i wait for 3080 stock to stablize plus maybe get the ti version

[winter mulch]

is there a section where you can talk about ram

[spice oasis]

@winter mulch what type of ram do you need?

[modern rampart]

Hey guys what is the difference between spending a bit more for a overclocked graphics card vs buying it non oc and overclocking it yourself?

[grand pivot]

when will gpu prices drop again because the 20 series is still high price due to their avaliblity?

[bleak garnet]

@spice oasis okay, thank you for the help!

[ancient crystal]

i just bought an RX 5600 XT recently

and now i'm looking at 6000 series

suffering

i won't get one right off though

but i hope places like newegg let you "get in line" for it

suffer

lol gg

[dreamy dragon]

Grey#3002 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ancient crystal]

you don't do that heck

we replace all words with heck

that is how to game the system

every word is heck

[lone pond]

anyone know what time the 6800's are gonna go on sale? midnight sales or are they gonna be a 9am thing like the cpu's were? any ideas\rumors?

[ancient crystal]

nobody here knows anything

we know as much as you

[crisp ocean]

Odds are they'll be at the same time as the CPUS, but thats just a guess

[weary halo]

Anyone have a suggestion for me for a graphics card for $300-400? I am not really a gamer but have been playing Warzone and want to definitely get Cyberpunk2077 when it comes out. Been using an RX550 if you can believe it (build was for an 'office computer') and it's.. tolerable for Warzone

[crisp ocean]

If you can find a 2060 super or 2060 you should be fine for both

a 20xx sereis will get you raytracing on cyber punk, and IM not sure if warzone has ray tracing

I think warzone recommends the 2070 super however for warzone on high at 144fps

[fathom bear]

You know what's a waste?

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=2080+ti

Look at how many cards they could sell if they lowered the price

[crisp ocean]

3 more gbs of vram for about double the price

[fathom bear]

Triple in most cases

[weary halo]

ok thanks. yeah I should have mentioned - I'm good with just 1080p - if that could work real well

[crisp ocean]

first card i saw and cheapesst wass 1000

but yeah triple

and yeah 1080 the cards should be fine

[fathom bear]

If they even lowered to $800, people would buy it. Simply because it's available.

[weary halo]

technically my monitor is 2560x1080

[crisp ocean]

Thats a weird resolution lol

[fathom bear]

There isn't a huge difference for gpu purposes

I run 3440x1440 and it's basically the same as 2560x1440. It's a little more demanding.

[weary halo]

ok there are 3 2060's on NE - zotac, asus, and evga. what of those would you get? > https://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare?CompareItemList=14-126-464%2C14-500-495%2C14-487-442

kinda thinking that asus rog would be best for me, based on the 2x hdmi and 2x dp

[crisp ocean]

Typically the rog cards are the best

yeah

ah technically though the evga card has the highest boost clock out of box

[weary halo]

or should i be looking at 8gb cards only in this day and age? my current one is 2g lol

[crisp ocean]

I don

i dont see why 6gb of vram should be an issue, im using 6gb on a 1060 and its been working pretty well

[weary halo]

kinda wish this ROG had reviews but it's pretty new. feeling like it's probably a winner. thanks for your thoughts

[crisp ocean]

np, a quick google search says this:
@720P: 2GB of VRAM
@1080P: 2GB-6GB of VRAM
@1440P: 4-8GB of VRAM
@4K: 8GB+ VRAM
https://techguided.com/how-much-vram-do-i-need/

np, a quick google search says this:

@crisp ocean for... gaming?

[weary halo]

ah that's a nice guiedline

[kind wigeon]

eh

not super accurate

[crisp ocean]

Not suprising but still

6gb shouldnt be bad

[kind wigeon]

mk

so

it's all about frames

1080p will be best with more vram

same for 4k

[main void]

[weary halo]

this rog says it's quiet which is nice, i only game a few times a week

[kind wigeon]

ok?

so

doesn't matter the res

just get the best gpu that fits in ur budget

[fathom bear]

If you don't have enough VRAM, you will get visual artifacts

I'm speaking from experience, I was using 3gb on ultrawide 1440p

[untold ember]

is 6gb enough?

[fathom bear]

For what?

[untold ember]

for regular gaming

[fathom bear]

What resolution?

[untold ember]

1080

[fathom bear]

Yes it's enough

[untold ember]

ok thank you

[kind wigeon]

it's more than enough

[lone pond]

I believe my old 580 has displayed its last image

tried reinstalling drivers to no avail

RIP to a hero

[dawn plover]

sheesh

may your card rest in peace

[crisp ocean]

How long did it last?

[raven fog]

[worn canopy]

It’s just the box

[molten scroll]

what gpu to upgrade from https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3Wz2mk

[fathom bear]

@worn canopy As beautiful as the box is

[molten scroll]

i want 3070

pls

someone

buy

[fluid star]

wait amds move

[frozen seal]

Amd doesn’t have a 3070 competitor

[molten scroll]

ooof

wdym

[fathom bear]

6800 is more like a 3070 Ti

[frozen seal]

^

[fathom bear]

Even though that doesn’t exist

It’s better, but also more expensive

3070 is the value king until 3060/3060 Ti comes out

Or amd brings in a new card

[molten scroll]

I MIGHT GET 3060

@fathom bear should i get 3060 i have asus srix 1070ti

[fathom bear]

Probably not worth it imo

Depends where they price it at

If I had to guess, it’d be a 2070 super level performance for a little cheaper

[novel kestrel]

all about the new amd cpu and gpu combo

[dawn plover]

im guessing that if the 3060 is a think, it'll cost about 349usd

[spice oasis]

@novel kestrel if you can get either

[novel kestrel]

thats Nvidia who cant stock ahah

[uneven flare]

How much is a used gtx 960 worth

[crisp ocean]

barely anything

[fathom bear]

@novel kestrel Go search for a 5000 series cpu and tell me Nvidia is the only one.

[tame iris]

what ab a used rx 590?

[mighty dock]

i hope they restock 3080 FEs by December 2020 or January 2021 :(

[tame iris]

you want it as a christmas present?

anyone free to help me with a windows crashing issue?

asus maximus x hero wifo, 8700k proc, m2, 322g corsair 3600 mem, powercolor red devil 5700xt windows keeps crashing.....help

[oak blade]

upgrade bios

migrate ur windows license to another drive

or fresh install of windows

[proud halo]

Just did to 2503

[oak blade]

bios??

[proud halo]

I’ve never had this much trouble upgrading a video card

[oak blade]

update drivers

or fresh install or ur boot drive is breaking

[proud halo]

just reloaded windows

[digital rover]

How about : uninstall the old drivers?

[oak blade]

its called update drivers

just get a new drive

for boot

[dreamy dragon]

Spidy#6598 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[digital rover]

wut

[oak blade]

just get a pcie gen 3 drive then load windows on to it

[proud halo]

as soon as it windows updates it crashes

[oak blade]

new drive

just dont get a gen 4 drive because intel uses gen 3

[proud halo]

m2 boot drive?

[digital rover]

so. from which graphics card did you upgrade from? its most likely an vendor issue. Just like if you are switching from Asus to EVGA. Both have kinda different drivers.

[proud halo]

Ya was a mai seahawk 1080, but I reinstalled Windows

This is the 5th reinstall on 3 dif drives

[digital rover]

how much ram do you have?

[proud halo]

32g

runs fine on the intel video card

its blurry when blue screen, i cant read what it says

[digital rover]

im new to this problem. I only upgraded from an Radeon to an Nvidia GT 1030. I'm gonna investigate shortly.

Even the Microsoft board isnt showing much.

And because of the blurryness of your Blue screen i can guess that you cant tell the Error code.

[proud halo]

I can’t stay logged in long enough to troubleshoot, I’m fixing to throw the whole thing in the trash

[digital rover]

gonna say that it might be this one "nvlddmkm.sys"

there is no real fix to that. At least on my cards that are lying around here.

[proud halo]

That’s what it said the first time

said stop code: kernel security check failure

[digital rover]

kernel security check failure.

lets see

[proud halo]

i think this powercolor 5700xt is going back to micro center 🙂

[digital rover]

i would do that if i were you. I dont have any fix to that.

[proud halo]

ya i cant find one either

[hollow heath]

Guys I’m officially a fool

[digital rover]

what why?

[oak blade]

i would save up a bit more and wait for 3070 to come back in stock or get 6800 when it comes out

[proud halo]

ya im not gonna hold my breath on that....

[hollow heath]

I let a 400 dollar 2080 TI pass by

[oak blade]

tuff

[hollow heath]

Rip

[digital rover]

Rest In Peace Good Deal

[oak blade]

20 series are still good value if they come down in price

[safe lark]

My eyes widened

Fat L

[digital rover]

Here in germany you can get an rtx 2080 ti on Auction (if the cards are on your side) one for 300 Euros

[proud halo]

ya they aint gonna come down in price, thats why they shorted the 3000's to sell out of all the 2080s on the market

[stuck crystal]

i wish new gpus weren't all high end

[digital rover]

Get an GT 1030 :D i mean its good if you dont play high end titles.

[proud halo]

i have a 1080 🙂

[hollow heath]

I’m getting an EVGA 2070 XC Ultra for 336 tho

Is that a good deal

[stuck crystal]

i got a 1050 ti two years ago and the price hasn't gone down, in fact it's gone up

I’m getting an EVGA 2070 XC Ultra for 336 tho
CAD or USD

[hollow heath]

USD

[digital rover]

damn thats a good deal

[stuck crystal]

very good deal

[digital rover]

my website shows it for around 561,17 Euros without shipping

[hollow heath]

It’s used tho

The guy I’m buying it from got a 3090

[stuck crystal]

i think you would only need to worry about used if you're buying from a bitcoin miner

but i could be entirely wrong

several people are typing

[hollow heath]

He doesn’t seem like the type of guy that abused the card

[digital rover]

calculated into us dollars for that evga card on my website. it would be aroudn 662,23 USD

[proud halo]

ooh tech support for powercolor is in taiwan.......

[mighty dock]

you want it as a christmas present?
@tame iris im saving up money for it and doing the math ill get it by christmas so like technically im buying it for christmas for myself

[stuck crystal]

He doesn’t seem like the type of guy that abused the card
if the dude got his hands a 3090 then he's probably a computer enthusiast so he probably took care of the card

[dawn plover]

ooh tech support for powercolor is in taiwan.......
@proud halo thats mostly because its a company based in taiwan.....

[proud halo]

yap this card is going back......

[dawn plover]

i mean powercolor doesn't make bad cards

they look nice

[hollow heath]

If I was to sell the 2070 what should I expect to get for it

[stuck crystal]

same price that you're buying it for, maybe less since it would have had 2 owners

[hollow heath]

What about my 1070 TI

Might be selling it because I’m not in need of it

[stuck crystal]

im looking at my used market in toronto, canada, they're anywhere between 350 to 450 CAD (~275 to 345 USD)

lol you might just make a profit if you sell it for more than you buy the 2070 for

[hollow heath]

Lmao yeah

I have the blower style card tho 😦

[stuck crystal]

so

[hollow heath]

And no box

[stuck crystal]

that might bring your price down a little

[hollow heath]

But other than that the cars is literally in perfect condition

[stuck crystal]

you could probably sell it for 300 USD

[hollow heath]

Oh ok

Where should I list it?

[tame iris]

i got a rx 590 i dont use, you know what that would go for?

[stuck crystal]

kijiji i guess

[viral elbow]

facebook market place, craigslist, etc

[stuck crystal]

^

i got a rx 590 i dont use, you know what that would go for?
@tame iris probably same price as the 1070 ti, 300 USD

[proud halo]

you would think with xmas coming they woulda make a crap ton of the 3000 series to sell a bunch of em....

whohoo 8 mins and it aint crashed!

[stuck crystal]

i think covid had a serious effect on the supply chain for components used to make cards

[proud halo]

ya its trumps fault!

[stuck crystal]

but yeah nvidia only made like twenty 3090 cards lmao

what happened to radeon vii?

[tame iris]

@tame iris probably same price as the 1070 ti, 300 USD
@stuck crystal really, bc i payed like 210 for it new😂

[weary halo]

i'll trade you my asrock rx550...

[novel kestrel]

need to get myself another ssd

[proud halo]

micro center has some on sale! 😛

[stuck crystal]

@stuck crystal really, bc i payed like 210 for it new😂
@tame iris idfk that's how much it goes for where i live

[tame iris]

i need to move wherever you live lmaoo

[novel kestrel]

if only i lived in america

[stuck crystal]

america is a mess right now

[tame iris]

^

you dont want to be here

[novel kestrel]

true but pc stuff is cheaper there aha worth it

[tame iris]

lmao

[stuck crystal]

just buy pc parts from wish

[novel kestrel]

i might as well make them from cardboard

[stuck crystal]

or any other skectchy online chinese store

[novel kestrel]

need an m.2

[weary halo]

i'm happy with my wd black 1tb

[novel kestrel]

yeah was thinking about wd

[weary halo]

also got a crucial p1 as well

i put the wd in my 'fast' m.2 slot and the crucial in the less fast one

oh the wd black i got is actually 500g. it's great though

got the one with the heat spreader since it's in the fast slot

[fathom bear]

@weary halo Have you noticed a speed difference?

It might only affect them when they’re both in use

I ask because I’m about to do the same upgrade

[brazen rune]

anyone know what the rtx 3060 will be priced at and the release dates? im thinking of going with a 5600xt for my build but idk if i should wait for the 3060

[dawn plover]

no, but a guess i have is about 349-400 bucks

[fathom bear]

@brazen rune there was a rumor they were going to price at 250-300

There was a gamers nexus video on it

Basically all the aftermarket partners were complaining about it

[tame iris]

i hope not, just spent 450 on a 2060 super😂

[fathom bear]

Oof

That was not a great deal lol

Still a decent card

[tame iris]

well 450 after tax

still

[brazen rune]

any idea when it will launch?

[fathom bear]

No idea. And when it does, you won’t be able to buy it

Unless you go to microcentwr

[tame iris]

im sure all the scalpers and bots will get the online orders

howd you get a 3070

[crisp ocean]

Microcenter's a real homie

[tame iris]

good point

i dont even know if i got one near me

[strong comet]

@brazen rune the msi rx 5600 xt is gonna be on sale on the 23rd on newegg, just in case you weren't aware

[brazen rune]

no microcenters in canada smh

[tame iris]

that sucks

[brazen rune]

which msi one? they dont make the best 5600xt's @strong comet

also how do u know when the sales will happen?

[strong comet]

Black Friday ad and https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-5600-xt-rx-5600-xt-gaming-mx/p/N82E16814137571?Item=9SIA25VBU53354&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIA25VBU53354-_-11122020

[crisp ocean]

two weeks from today, the besst sales will be out

[strong comet]

I'm hyped

[weary halo]

way to be!

Fallen I'm not sure how to say this so I'll just come out with it. Earlier I had to click on your avatar's thumbnail because it looked like there was a lady um. with something in her mouth

I figure you either know that already and #thatsthejoke or you're unaware and... now slightly disturbed. LOL

dirty mind or bad eyes or both maybe 😐

[naive girder]

cursed tangled weenie

[daring tusk]

now i cant un-see that thank you

[prisma mesa]

should i get a nvidia or amd gpu?

highlights dont matter but i heard the drivers for amd is bad or something

[weary halo]

you might have heard the inverse. nvidia pissed off a lot of linux users in the past for instance

do you want or care about ray tracing? or CUDA? or NUMA?

[prisma mesa]

no this is for a friend who doesnt really care about anything

he just wants something smooth so i was thinking of a 5700, 5700xt, 2060 and other gpus around that range

5600xt

yk

[weary halo]

i'm personally partial to AMD / Radeon but only because of like decades of history with them (ATI) on lots of computers

5600xt is real decent i believe. I mean - is this person a gamer?

[prisma mesa]

would you recommend a 5600xt,5700, or 5700xt?

hmm

he plans to play not too intenxtive games

like fortnite and siege

[weary halo]

then save some money and check out 5600xt or similar

save some dollars for another stick of ram or nvme ssd or something

[prisma mesa]

yeah he doesnt need ran lol hes getting 16 gb of 3200

and yeah we could save some money and stick to a 5600ct

[weary halo]

toms hardware has some great comparison posts and stuff might help be a tie-breaker for y'all

[prisma mesa]

to get a ssd for his boot drive

[weary halo]

yeah that will have a much bigger impact on the day-to-day for sure. (the ssd)

[prisma mesa]

alright

thanks

[rigid bloom]

Anyone knows when the 3070’s are coming out again?

[brisk flame]

nope

[crisp ocean]

Fallen I'm not sure how to say this so I'll just come out with it. Earlier I had to click on your avatar's thumbnail because it looked like there was a lady um. with something in her mouth
@weary halo Yeah Ive gotten that lmao, Its the issue with my cropping

Im gonna change my pfp probably becausee the person im matching with

kinda

[REDACTED]

[weary halo]

i kinda forgot BF / CM was coming up. I'll obviously wait a couple weeks to buy a new GPU. wheeeeee!

[quasi ice]

denver microcenter is cool

[weary halo]

how so? only ever been to the Houston one

[quasi ice]

its smaller its just cool to walk around

[molten cargo]

Hey yo guys I'm on a tight budget and I wanted to ask you a question, I'm thinking of upgrading my rig but I'm torn between doubling my ram to 16Gb or upgrading my GTX1060

I could get the ram almost right away but I'll have to wait for my next paycheck (or two) for the GPU

[crisp ocean]

What games are you playing and whats your monitor?

[molten cargo]

My monitor is a 1440p no name IPS display from Acer I think that can go up to 120Hz

[crisp ocean]

hm thats kinda tough, how much would you spend on a gpu?

[molten cargo]

Nd I mainly play Warframe nowadays

Hmm I kinda wanted to go AMD this round but I'm really not sure something be 300 to 500 bucks sounds good

[sullen panther]

Im thinking of getting an upgrade to be able to do 4k gaming at like mediumish maybe

[molten cargo]

I'd prefer higher FPS over a higher res

[crisp ocean]

Alright, so upgrade your ram and gpu, spend a bit less on a gpu and get your ram to 16gb

[sullen panther]

I play on 1080p 240hv

[crisp ocean]

whats your current ram config

[sullen panther]

Hz*

[molten cargo]

Right now I'm running a single(yes I know heresy) 8Gb stick from trident 3200MHz with a ryzen 5 1800X (first gen Zen)

[crisp ocean]

hm'

I mean I would buy another 8gb stick and I almost want to say upgrade your cpu instead of gpu

[molten cargo]

To play smoothly over 60fps I'm Overclocking my MSI GTX1060 about 200-300Mhz on core and memory

The CPU can probably wait a few years even when streaming 1080p to Twitch it barely goes over 60-65%utilization, which if I ever had problems I could still PC

*OC

[crisp ocean]

I also think you should save up longer and build a completely new PC though

[molten cargo]

right now money is tight so if i wanted to build a new rig i'd have to do it bit my bit

[crisp ocean]

But like I am not the best at this type of stuff, I would ask Naed or Mr1111 theyu both know a lot more than me

If you go in #building-and-recc-chat that might better suit you

[sullen panther]

I would personally get that 8gb stick upgrade and then your gpu, your cpu should be perfectly fine @molten cargo

[molten cargo]

i'll do some more research and then probably be stuck in limbo so i'll bother you and the guys you said over at the other channel

[sullen panther]

I vibe with a ryzen 5 1500x and I used to play 1440p xD

[molten cargo]

yea those 1st gen zens seem to be very long lasting

[crisp ocean]

They do, Im not too familiar with the performance though

[molten cargo]

one of my friends managed to un 5.1GHz with only 4 cores active like 2 years ago

[west kayak]

whats the problem here?

[molten cargo]

on the stock cooler

[sullen panther]

I play civ 6 and td6 (yes a freaking mobile game) so I just want to upgrade my cpu for video editing purposes

[molten cargo]

dude shut up TD6 is amazing

[west kayak]

for video editing u wanna upgrade cpu and ram

im pretty sure

[sullen panther]

Yeah it's the only mobile game I like lol

[molten cargo]

right now i'm really not into video production, more like photo editing and mainly music

[sullen panther]

You just need a balanced system pretty much for video editing

[molten cargo]

so if i could get a better dedicated sound card that'd be great too

[west kayak]

yep u need lots and lots of ram for photo editing im pretty sure

[molten cargo]

yeah that's what i was afraid of

[sullen panther]

Depends what you do for photo editing

[frozen seal]

i was suprised on how sheety of a system civ VI could run on

[west kayak]

but 16gb can handle just fine

[sullen panther]

I have 4, 4gb sticks at like 2666mhz I think

[molten cargo]

mostly light stuff with paint.net and some more serious stuff on lumetri and colorstudio

[west kayak]

i would reccomend 3200 mhz

[sullen panther]

I'm fine vibing with 2666 lol

[west kayak]

thats cool

[sullen panther]

I could overclock them if it really becomes a bottleneck

[molten cargo]

i have 8Gb 3200mhz but single stick, i heard zen1 and zen2 love fast dual channel memory so i think the ram's gonna be the first thing i upgrade

[west kayak]

should probably just run them at what theyre rated at for

[molten cargo]

mostly yeah, overclocking ram is not only harder but higher stakes are involved

if you burn a stick of ram and the memory controller's on the CPU and not on the mobo you'd probs fry that too

[sullen panther]

I mean I won't overclock until I notice a big bottleneck

And if it dies I'll buy new one that I would need sooner or later anyway

[molten cargo]

having lots of fast ram is pointless still, chrome's gonna gobble that up like a 500 pound depressed pothead

[sullen panther]

Lol

[molten cargo]

(i'm kidding guys lmao)

i'm gonna bother you one last time and would you be so kind as to suggest me good gaming GPU's in the 300-400 range from team red and green, i kinda want to go AMD cause i heard they're gonna launch new budget GPUS soon

[weary halo]

there IS one right now that is announced but I cant remember the name. I dont think price is out on it yet

[molten cargo]

hmmm

[weary halo]

tbh I am so lost with all the names...

[molten cargo]

interesting

yeah Nvidia's naming is somewhat clearer (minus what they're doing right now mixing supers with TI's and series 10's being also represented as series 16's line the gtx 1650 and 1660)

[tepid aurora]

Hey I got the 3080 and it came with a Cold War Code but its saying I can only use it unless I have the graphics card installed. There's no way I can get a regular code?

[lone pond]

fml gigabyte windforce 3070 was in stock on amazon at 1:55 today and I missed it 😦

[molten cargo]

why would you buy a 3080 to get a game code, bruh

i'm kidding lmao i know

i guess you gotta wait for it to ship and install it

[tepid aurora]

I have the game already lol I was just gonna give the code to my brother

[molten cargo]

oh oo

[tepid aurora]

But apparently the code only works for the graphics card lol

Which makes no sense. Like why did it just not come with a regular code lol

[molten cargo]

can you just install it on your bro's pc , redeem it and put it back in yours?

technically speaking it would make sense

[tepid aurora]

maybe I might try that. I'm talking to newegg live support right now so let me see what she saying

She sent me to this discord lmfaooo

[molten cargo]

welcome

[tepid aurora]

Nice to meet you

[molten cargo]

welcome to the newegg discord, where safety is priority number the third

[limber wing]

Why are 1060’s hella expensive

[fervent obsidian]

becaure you're looking at new ones

[limber wing]

lol

@fervent obsidian is 120gb enough for a ssd

to boot

[fervent obsidian]

rather small but it can boot

[limber wing]

Is the 9100f better than the 31

3100

??

because all my family who play games have intel cpus

brb going to think of a $500 pc

$500 is too tight of a budget

oof

[tribal lodge]

Yo can someone else with a 3070 rtx founders edition dm me i have a question about mine that i want to see if someone else has

[vast agate]

Alright

I have decided

Im getting a fricking 6800 when it comes out

I may live in a third world country

But im going to make it happen

[vapid plinth]

Ok so I own a Gtx 1650 low profile with 4gb of gddr6 and I posted it on offerup to see what offers I could get for it. Just today someone offered me a Xfx 5500 xt saying he needed a low profile card for one of his low profile builds and said it has never been overclocked, never been mined on, or undervolted. Should I accept the deal?

Ping me wheneva

[tropic ridge]

I got a 2070 Super that I just bought 2 month ago

[hollow fractal]

@vapid plinth youd be getting twice as much vram but also the drivers and crashing issues that come with it

[tropic ridge]

Ima sell it and get a 3080

With some out of pocket

[vapid plinth]

Ok ok.

[tropic ridge]

Lmao

[vapid plinth]

I wouldn't oc it

[hollow fractal]

Most likely dudes looking for a stable card and trying to pawn off his card that he cant move

My 5700xt crashes constantly

[vapid plinth]

Oof

[hollow fractal]

even with undervolt and 60c temps

[vapid plinth]

So I shouldn't accept it?

[hollow fractal]

Garbage cards from amd

keepp your card

[vapid plinth]

Ok

[tropic ridge]

Na their now ones

Tho

[hollow fractal]

Upgrade to a 1660

[tropic ridge]

Damn they hot

[hollow fractal]

if you want more vram

[vapid plinth]

Alr alr

[hollow fractal]

for 1080p gaming 1660 is a budget god

[vapid plinth]

Ok

[hollow fractal]

1660 or 1660ti

[vapid plinth]

Thanks man. I really appreciate it

[hollow fractal]

np just look out when someones eager to downgrade their amd card

specs on it are almost too good to be true especially for the price point

[vapid plinth]

I see

[hollow fractal]

Nvidia equiv is a 2070 super btw

[vapid plinth]

Fr???

[hollow fractal]

As far as vram and boost clocks go
