which card did you buy?

[sweet scaffold]

ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3070 Twin Edge OC

[shy lava]

ah

they straight up screwed up the entire aib rx 6000 launch and shafted you right out of a card

how great

[sweet scaffold]

would much rather a 6800XT or 3080 but I've got a PC ready to be finished.

[shy lava]

i mean look hobbs

can you believe that the tuf series non xt is more expensive than the 6800xt reference

all because theres a few more features?

bs

[stone raft]

I bought a 2060 to have in the mean time...Ima just add the 3080 when it comes and have 2 video cards

[sweet scaffold]

Haha those AIB prices are wild too.

[paper depot]

Bro how tf are they gonna do you like that dafuq

[twilit bluff]

Hey can anyone help me? Want peoples opinions on which card to buy. My motherboard is a Rog Strix Z390-H. Should I stick to an Asus 3080 or does it not matter which one I get? and if I get an Asus should i stick to the Strix or get a Tuf?

[round crown]

Doesnt really matter

Strix/tuf doesnt matter either

Go for one with enough ports

And one you like the looks of

[twilit bluff]

alright thanks

[sweet scaffold]

@stone raft "sorry we don't have any tool to prioritize customer. first come first serve"

[stone raft]

Wwwwwwoooowwwww

What scumbags

[twilit bluff]

3080s piss me off

bots piss me off*

[wide mesa]

What happened

[twilit bluff]

is what i should say

just cant find one to purchase xD

[sweet scaffold]

@little slate what are your plans with the XFX 6800 XT?

[twilit bluff]

have a 2300 dollar build sitting here worth nothing more than a paperweight because i dont have a graphics card

[sweet scaffold]

Same Flayze....same

[twilit bluff]

haha

[clear frigate]

I just signed up for the auto notify with evga

[sweet scaffold]

^ i did that too

[clear frigate]

Gave in something is better than nothing at this point

[twilit bluff]

yeah i agree

[little slate]

I managed to order the 3080 aorus bundle, so my current plan is after I get them delivered, I'll try to find someone with a build waiting on a GPU to sell the 6800xt to

[twilit bluff]

i was at first looking at only asus but now im willing to buy pretty much anything xD

[little slate]

I don't want to scalp people so I'll basically be selling at what it cost me

[sweet scaffold]

keep me in mind. I'm interested

[clear frigate]

Same

I wish more companies had a queue

[twilit bluff]

fr

ive found one website that will notify me when its restocked

[clear frigate]

I'd prefer the gigabyte or msi cards but I'll take what I can get if I can't get one without the queue from evga

[twilit bluff]

and i bet 20$ it emails me after it goes out of stock

[clear frigate]

Well probably

[twilit bluff]

id like to stick with an asus one since then itll match my motherboard but i kinda like the look of the founders edition and the evga one

[little slate]

You absolutely can't rely on those notifications. Newegg tends to restock during specific times of day, on the hour, so you pretty much have to catch the sales the moment they pop up

[twilit bluff]

yeah

and i can't ever seem to catch newegg when they restock lol

wait whats the difference between the rtx3080 10g and the rtx 3080 O10g

oh slightly higher MHz

[clear frigate]

Probably a small overclock

[twilit bluff]

more than likely

[hallow salmon]

do you know what time specifically?

[inland haven]

There was a restock of gigabyte 3080 cards earlier today but I got no time for you.

Also there was a pre order up for the Zotac 3080 up on the site

[hallow salmon]

waiting for the tuf3080 or ftw3 idk how often they restock those

[crimson dagger]

I got a ryzen 7 2700X so it would it really matter between a 3080 and 6800xt

Or is that not good enough for the gpu I’m tryna get and should go lower?

[ripe ivy]

Well what resolution are you playing at?

[crimson dagger]

Nothing yet still building 😂

[brazen ginkgo]

which one should i get 3090 or 1080 ti

[ripe ivy]

Well if you intend to go for something like a 3080 or 6800XT, honestly for anything less than 1440p it's not a good idea. And with that CPU, 4k would be more ideal since the CPU doesn't factor as much at 4k, really at all. It's a no go for 1080p, for 1080p you probably shouldn't be spending more than 3 or 400 dollars on a graphics card.

[winter dagger]

^^^^^^

[crimson dagger]

Thanks

[sonic iris]

5700xt worth? or should i get a 2000 series instead?

dont really want to wait for parts

[rich oasis]

Wait like a normap person

Since its worth it

[tame pivot]

im never getting the 3080...

[terse bloom]

I sympathize. I keep checking Micro Center in 5 different locations. MI, PA, NJ, and 2 NYs. All I see are 3070 or 3090 restocks, at 7AM, 2 hours before these stores open.

[tame pivot]

so no more restocks anywhere tn?

[shadow horizon]

1080 Ti ofc, it has a Ti in the name

[clear frigate]

Yo when bestbuy gonna take off the coming soon for 6800 and the xt models

[shy lava]

how does 1440p 170hz sound for the rx 6800 non xt

[uneven portal]

pretty good if you ask me

The 6800 will be able to max out your monitor's refresh rate in many titles

And it will be able to do 4k quite well also if you decide to upgrade your display

[shy lava]

ah alright ty @uneven portal

[uneven portal]

You can check out a full review with hardware unboxed, they're reviews are on point IMO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y26liH-poM

[shy lava]

alright i will do that now

[late crystal]

Hi guys, is this the place to talk about 3080 stocks ?

[uneven portal]

No

It's the place to complain about them

[late crystal]

lol

[uneven portal]

If you're wondering: We don't know when they'll be available. Best to queue up. Estimated shipping time appro. 30 days

[clear frigate]

That's for evga

Not to bad

[uneven portal]

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with newegg in any way

[clear frigate]

Or what's the queue you speak of

[uneven portal]

If I was I'd probably have a CPU and video card in my rig right now

Apparently microcenter in the U.S. takes in store back orders

I would be suspicious of this claim though

Best to investigate

[late crystal]

Newegg have no idea when they gonna get stocks ?

[uneven portal]

I was thinking of going to canada computers and putting an order for a 5900X and a XFX 6800XT

[late crystal]

or basically no one has ?

[clear frigate]

Hey what queue are you talking about

[uneven portal]

No one has

Newegg has the notify option

I'm kind of hoping it's a queue

They mumbled something about first come first serve

It's not entirely clear to me

[clear frigate]

Oh so not exactly how evga can guarantee a chance to buy it by doing the notification

[uneven portal]

I guess you can queue up with evga based on what you're sharing just now

[clear frigate]

Yes

[tawny flower]

does anyone have any idea when the evga copper watercooled gpus drop

[uneven portal]

https://tenor.com/view/crickets-crickets-chirping-silence-awkward-silence-gif-5319192

[tawny flower]

same

[edgy gyro]

Evga you can queue up but good luck over a month for me

[clear frigate]

A shot is a shot even if you don't know when it'll come

I'm still gonna try to get a card normally and hopefully sooner than that

[tawny flower]

i can wait a month

the watercooled ones aren't even available for queue tho

which is why i was asking if they have an eta for the queue to start

[lone pond]

what's your guys opinion on this gpu? i am considering buying it since it is on sale, but the reviews are kinda bad: https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-570-rx-570-armor-8g-oc/p/N82E16814137256

[edgy gyro]

Idk I think it wasn't bad in the day but it is old now I would try 2 save up and try to get the 3060 when that comes out

You don't want to get something and in a year or 2 not be able 2 run a game you want

Even a 1650 super would be better and not much more

But I would definitely save up 1660 ti at least

[lone pond]

thanks for the input. i guess i should of said that i would be using it for crypto mining, not gaming.
i am getting the 5600 xt for my main gaming gpu. (i found one on sale on newegg for $270)

[hard wren]

@lone pond crypto mining?

but thats like dead you dont need a gpu at all just a bunch of cheap as you can find them nvme ssds with dram

[lone pond]

yeah, i thought i could make some money back since i am buying an expensive computer

[hard wren]

not from crypto mining with a single gpu you wont

the electrical cost wont outweigh the $11 a month you make

but if you do some research and invest in some ssd's there are ways to make money

[edgy gyro]

In 2017 my friend had 32 gpus mining and eventually that even became unprofitable and he ended up selling them

[lone pond]

wait, you can mine with ssds?

[ripe ivy]

You would need to run multiple cards, and paying next to nothing in energy for it to be worth it

Well at this point anyway

[edgy gyro]

Honestly I would stay away from mining its not really worth it

And all cloud mining is a scam

Crypto is basically dead now

[lone pond]

i mean bitcoin is super close to the 2017 high lol

and so are a lot of other coins

[ripe ivy]

You can't mine Bitcoin with a gpu anymore

[edgy gyro]

I just checked i didn't even know

[lone pond]

yeah, i will probably mine eth or etc

[ripe ivy]

I'm pretty sure Etherium is going away from that too

By like the end of December

[hard wren]

it was always bound to go that way as soon as the people who created the "coins" could afford their own server farms for cryptography

[edgy gyro]

I used to have so many bitcoin i regret selling at 5k

[hard wren]

I also sold mine for much less than I should have 😦

a buddy of mine still has a bunch and pokes fun at me everytime they continue to go up in value like a month or so ago

[edgy gyro]

My friend made 1.7 million on crypto

[hard wren]

must be nice

[edgy gyro]

Stocks are better for making money less risk but less return

[edgy gyro]

Bitcoin you have no idea when it will drop

And it will drop again

[ripe ivy]

Unfortunately Santa isn't a Miracle worker

[edgy gyro]

At least the bots are getting coal in their stocking

[hexed badger]

should i get a rtx 2060 super for 470?

or a gtx 1660 super for 240?

[hollow heath]

Anyone know of EVGA 2070 XC Ultra overclocking?

[hidden carbon]

If ur spending that much just wait a week or 2 and try get a 3060ti

Then if u don't get one

Just get the 2060 super

[hidden carbon]

Not sure but probably up there with the strix and gaming X trio

[hollow zephyr]

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-5600-xt-rx5600xt-pgd3-6go/p/N82E16814930028?Item=N82E16814930028&cm_sp=Dailydeal_SS-_-14-930-028-_-11262020

@livid summit

its time

[livid summit]

??

@hollow zephyr it’s time?

@hollow zephyr I was going to buy the 5700xt not the 5600

I was planning on buying the 5700xt gaming x from msi

It’s $410 rn

And I’ve watched YouTube reviews on it and they say it’s a good gpu

[azure widget]

Wait for the 3060ti it's the same price and much more performance

[hollow zephyr]

link @azure widget

[pine salmon]

i5 4th gen ok for rx580?

[spice prawn]

yes

if that is what you have, yes

[shy lava]

hows the rx 6800 reference cooling potential?

[prime venture]

Anyone get any 3080 combos since last night?

[lone pond]

hey guys, what was best gpu under 500 before this 3070 came out

@prime venture wdym 3080? they released it?

@livid summit go for it and @azure widget everyone will keep waiting just like everyone has been waiting for the 3070, noones ganna get it because of bot users that are scalping the product for double msrp, so smallz, go for the gpu it just isnt worth waiting unless you have a bot, fractional seconds and the 3070 sold out right on release

[buoyant stone]

Newegg released some 3080 and possibly 3070 combos last night.

[lone pond]

really i didnt see it

[dusk oasis]

Newegg released some 3080 and possibly 3070 combos last night.
@buoyant stone they are sold out super fast

[lone pond]

wow it even included power supply

and i wanted to buy that psu today

gatta be joking

[ocean path]

i have 3070

[lone pond]

gj pk

[buoyant stone]

That they did. They sold out super fast. Like always.

[ocean path]

it took so long to come in

[lone pond]

ppl are just ganna bot the 3060 ti as well

really no ppint waiting for new gpu

[ocean path]

i should have bought 2 tho and sold 1

[lone pond]

are combos of gpus always with a psu?

and can u remove an item from the combo lets say i dont want the psu so i deselect it and leave the gpu

@ocean path

[pale path]

why don't you hop on the bot bandwagon? it's just a browser plug-in

[ocean path]

@lone pond i bought mine on release dater

date

had to backorder

[lone pond]

@pale path what plugin

[eternal locust]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone still searching for a GPU

[balmy pawn]

im getting a 1050ti, anyone know what kind of fps i will see on rocket league

with a i5 9400

[safe pollen]

Don't go for the 1050ti. U won't be very happy with it. Go for something used online. At least an rx580

[pale path]

@lone pond hotstock

got super close yesterday on a 6800 xt failed purchase with it in my cart on amazon

[lone pond]

so u went on amazon to buy it?

everytime i look at my 32gb ram i wonder if i really need that eventhough i am video editing large videos and streaming

[prime venture]

Large vid editing is one job I'd say 32gb ram might not be overkill

Most can do w 16

[oak sky]

@lone pond my memory tends to leak for this one freaking app i use whilst streaming. But would go for 32 gb anyway. Multiple open applications. Are you streaming games?

[lone pond]

ye ill be streaming games and p0rn

jk just games

[crimson dagger]

If I’m looking for a gpu to hold me over until I can grab a 3080/6800xt what would do the job that isn’t too expensive

Looking for pc gaming and streaming

[gray lodge]

Anybody know where I can get a 3070 without getting ripped off? Also needs to be in stock

[ripe ivy]

Have you decided on a resolution yet?

[lone pond]

Looking for a good card that sells at around 200-250 dollars used, preferably amd. My current gpu is a 560 and cpu is 5 1600 oc 3.8 ghz. My psu is 500w 80+ bronze.

Was just wondering if anyone could recommend something?

[crimson dagger]

Uh not yet like I said last night once I get the good card I’d crank it up to 1440p or whatever. Currently have a ryzen7 2700x gonna grab 16 gb ram when I see a good deal on that but aside from that everything is just kinda as it comes

Also wanted to get a good idea of what I was gonna grab while I look for Black Friday/ cyber Monday deals

[terse bloom]

Depends on where you live. I check Micro Center every day, in multiple locations. Ohio, MI, NY, NJ, PA.

Yonkers, NY Micro Center https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/296240113892196353/781510553164185600/Screenshot_20201126-082323_Chrome.jpg?width=410&height=911

[gray lodge]

thnx bud

[terse bloom]

But they're closed today due to holiday, so if you're in that area, better line up before they open tomorrow.

[gray lodge]

unfortunately not in any of those states, nor am I close loll

[ripe ivy]

Do you have the appropriate display? But yeah a 5600XT or 2060 will do fine even at 1440p actually

[eternal locust]

There's some good 1440p cards out rn

Everyone tryna get 4k 😔

[lone pond]

im gettn 1080p monitor, dont care for 1440p not much of a difference

4k is like whatever

i would get dizzy from how much i play

if i got 4k screen

[eternal locust]

Lul

[ripe ivy]

I think 1440p is an objective upgrade from 1080p, however 4k doesn't seem significant at all; especially if you're sitting at a typical distance from a desk. 4k and anything higher seems like it's really best for the living room

[little slate]

Agreed, I think 1440p is a significant upgrade, because I think 27" (or ultrawide) is the sweet spot for computer monitor size, and 1080p is not good enough for that much screen

personally I haven't seen any 4k computer monitors in person, so I can't comment on that

[lone pond]

i have seen 4k

it rlly isnt that much greater for its price

by the time i trash this monitor we will have 124k or some sht lol

[little slate]

biggest thing that keeps me from considering 4k is the performance impact

[lone pond]

and ill be getting the 68k

if u buying latest gpu, dont worry abt performance xd

[little slate]

I like my shooters at high fps

[eternal locust]

Literally when you 2 feet from the screen 4k is alittle much

[little slate]

I have a 3080 on the way, and it still won't be getting 144 fps at 4k without turning settings down

[vast ore]

happy thanksgiving love you all 🥰

[eternal locust]

Love you too

[vast ore]

whos ready for blackfriday!!!

[lone pond]

@little slate lucky

im ganna wait for new drop next month

if i dont get the gpu im getting amd radeon 5700 xt

fk it

[little slate]

idk if I'd say it was luck, it was days in front of my computer with an auto refresher running non stop

[lone pond]

u botted?

[little slate]

no

[lone pond]

how did uk where to get it

[little slate]

just auto refresh on a page

I was watching it myself

[lone pond]

howd u know which site

[little slate]

discord channels, twitter, etc

[lone pond]

o.o

can u dm me discord

[crimson dagger]

No monitors yet. Peripherals are gonna be like the last things I get tbh cause I got friends upgrading etc

[little slate]

for the 3080 drop, I saw newegg put up a twitter post that bundles were coming last night

[lone pond]

fk

i wish i knew that

[little slate]

then all stars need to align, have your payment method fully set up, remember your card security code, etc

[terse bloom]

Some people can get lucky. Out of my group of 5, 4 of us have 30series.

[lone pond]

i bought psu today and saw gpu was with a psu

[little slate]

that happened to me twice

[lone pond]

are gpu's always with psu's?

when it comes to bundles

[terse bloom]

No

[lone pond]

or do they just randomly do it

[terse bloom]

Some are with RAM

[lone pond]

kk

[little slate]

mostly PSUs, sometimes ram, some have a motherboard

[lone pond]

well i would like ram lol

motherboard they prob wont have wifi one

can u dm me twitter acc

cuz i have a bad habbit of following scam twitter accs

[little slate]

it's the newegg official twitter

[lone pond]

and not realizing it

[little slate]

I don't have a link saved myself, someone else shared it to me

[lone pond]

kk

[terse bloom]

Newegg knows people want to buy the 30series, so they're pairing it with stuff people normally wouldn't buy, like lower brand RAM or PSUs that aren't as good as others.

[lone pond]

true

[little slate]

I heard the pairing is to combat bots

because then they can't follow a specific item

instead it's a random bundle that drops

[lone pond]

that is true

[little slate]

hell the bundle I got last night didn't show up for me until it went on sale

[lone pond]

dont they announce what the bndle will be

[little slate]

so pages I was refreshing before didn't matter

[lone pond]

or u find out on the drop

[terse bloom]

On twitter yeah

I had to turn on notifications last night

[little slate]

no they just say bundles are coming with a link to a general page of them

[lone pond]

ahh ok

ima follow them on twitter

cuz i dont want to miss the drop on december

for the 400 gpu

From yesterday

So yes, they do announce the "time" as well.

[little slate]

there are usually drops daily, they're just not very big

[lone pond]

wow tht drop was 6pm yesterday xd

ye i just found that

[little slate]

this is first one I saw them announce

[terse bloom]

Make sure you turn on notifications so they pop up on your phone. I didn't do that, so I didn't see that tweet until 10pm ET

[lone pond]

some ppl said they refreshed and it was alrdy gone lol

[little slate]

yeah that happens all the time

that's why I said stars have to align

[lone pond]

i think its safe to say if 5700 xt goes on sale, im just ganna get that instead of hoping that decemebr 2nd wont be botted

[little slate]

idk what happened for me yesterday

because I've been trying for days, going hardcore at it

then in one day I got a 6800 xt and 3080...

how much are you paying for the 5700 xt?

[lone pond]

505

[little slate]

wtf?

that sounds like a complete ripoff

I would definitely hold out for a 3070 over that

or the 3060ti when that comes out next month

[lone pond]

3060ti dec 2nd

[dreamy dragon]

Penny Honkz#5388 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lone pond]

ik i wont get that cuz someone will take it

[little slate]

I would highly advise against spending that much on what is now an outdated graphics card

[lone pond]

ive alrdy lost hope tryn to get somethn brand new, its just like the sneakers market

is it rlly?

july 7th 2019

that isnt outdated

[little slate]

it's outdated because there's new generations out already

and it was AMD's first attempt at this architecture

[lone pond]

so what is a good gpu now for 500 or just under it

all i want on it is that it has ray tracing

dont rlly care for much else

[little slate]

you can buy a 5700 xt, just buy a cheap one

the 5700 xt doesn't have ray tracing

the 6xxx series are AMDs first attempt at RT

[lone pond]

i see its cheaper on diff sites

funny part is most of these gpus talk abt 1440p

im getting a 1080p monitor XD

so many of these gpus are alrdy overkil

[little slate]

what kind of 1080p monitor?

[lone pond]

https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-graphics-cards

i havent decided

[lone pond]

MSI G241

PX248 prime

what CPU do you have or are getting?

[lone pond]

i alrdy bought

amd ryzen 7 8 core 16 thread

[lone pond]

AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000071BOX Desktop Processor

i am keeping it for long term

[little slate]

it's a great cpu don't get me wrong

[lone pond]

ik i could get one lower

and save 100

but i am a stock trader, 100 bucks i make in seconds

its literally -10 seconds of trading for me xd

[little slate]

unfortunate that you couldn't get the 5xxx series though

[lone pond]

wdym 5xxx?

oh screw the that amd ryzen 5

tbh i think this gpu is fine, 300 bucks Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super

nah, nvme will be for os

im getting an ssd for space

[little slate]

2060 super isn't going to cut it for ray tracing either tbh

[lone pond]

ik it wont

[little slate]

games utilize SSDs now

[lone pond]

but more i think abt it, more i tlak myself out of it

[little slate]

especially since consoles moved to SSDs

so they're going to be more important from now on

[lone pond]

ye u can get an ssd instead of an HDD storage

[little slate]

and nvme drives are way faster than sata

[lone pond]

dont need to get such a big ssd

ik ik

but thats for writing

which i only do like once every 2 months xd

it not a big deal if its like a 5 min diff

[little slate]

it's read and write

[lone pond]

ye

again its not much of a difference

ppl hype it up like its some crazy thing that is a must have

[little slate]

100% disagree

an SSD is probably the biggest upgrade anyone can do over a HDD to notice a real world performance difference in every thing they do

[lone pond]

my friend alrdy went hdd to ssd

it is a nice thing

its quiet

[little slate]

that's why it's so nice that pretty much all laptops now moved to SSDs, and the only reason why I can recommend cheap laptops to friends now

[lone pond]

but its only for storage

[little slate]

I don't care about it being quiet

[lone pond]

it doesnt do much out of it

[little slate]

but an HDD will make you wait with every single thing you do

and SSD won't

[lone pond]

ur impatient then xd

[little slate]

it's a huge difference in general usability

[lone pond]

u cant wait 2 seconds between a task?

my computer uses hdd, i am used to it alrdy

[little slate]

not when its 2 seconds every single time you do anything

that adds up

[lone pond]

differenc ein opening speed is so small

most of the time i get distracted as i open things

[little slate]

you should try using an SSD for a while, then see how bad it is going back to hdd

[lone pond]

so i wont notice any diff

oh i am switching to ssd

[little slate]

every time I have to use the computers at work I struggle

[lone pond]

but to say i have to get a huge storage space

is a bit much

[little slate]

1 tb isn't huge storage

[lone pond]

512 for os is

ur telln me to increas that to 1tb

when its for my operating system

[spark creek]

512 for os is not huge storage

[little slate]

if you're just putting os on your ssd, you're doing it wrong

[lone pond]

os utilizes 10gb

[spark creek]

unless you are literally only using it for os and nothing else, but that would just be wasteful

[lone pond]

u can partition it for 50gb and still be fine

[little slate]

that was something we did 10 years ago

[spark creek]

512 is reasonable boot drive, 1tb is pretty good, 2tb is pretty huge.

[lone pond]

so send me ur list for the ssd

whats best price to performance

ill consider it

im not keeping the hdd on my current pc part picker list

i just forgot to hit save before i closed the tab

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#A=460000000000,18000000000000&t=0

[little slate]

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100011693 600414920&SrchInDesc=nvme

[lone pond]

thats pretty expensive for only 1tb lol

almost triple the price of my 2tb one

[little slate]

you just told me a few min ago that 100 bucks is nothing for you lol

[lone pond]

for the other stuff, but im not going past 120 for a storage unit

thats just insanely overpriced

[little slate]

you're paying 59 bucks for a 512 gig ssd

you can get a 1 tb version 100 bucks

[lone pond]

x2 = 120

if ur talkn abt that intel one thats trash

[little slate]

hell there are some on there for 80-90

[lone pond]

look at the specs

[fervent obsidian]

mp34 is 106

[lone pond]

theres only 30

[fervent obsidian]

crucial p1 is meh and cheap

[lone pond]

only 3*

[little slate]

how is it trash?

[spark creek]

do not buy a 500gb ssd if you have $100

[little slate]

the difference in performance of nvme ssds isn't significant

[spark creek]

get at least that sn550 1tb

[little slate]

the difference in performance between an nvme ssd and a spinning hdd is massive

[fervent obsidian]

sn550 is bad

dramless

[spark creek]

how bad?

[fervent obsidian]

if you wanna spend 100 on an ssd just get an mp34

[clear frigate]

Sn750 115

[spark creek]

teamgroup > western digital?

[clear frigate]

Model over brand

[fervent obsidian]

mp34 over sn550 any day

[little slate]

all I'm trying to say is you should be getting an SSD that will hold the games you'll be playing, not just the OS

[spark creek]

this

[lone pond]

so i may downgrade 512 to 256gb

for os

and then change my 2tb hdd to a 1tb ssd

for storing games

[spark creek]

no. just get a 1tb ssd total.

[little slate]

why do you need a separate os drive?

[spark creek]

and a 2tb hdd

if you can

[lone pond]

just cuz lol

[spark creek]

no. just don't

[lone pond]

i want to keep my os away from my files

[little slate]

why

[lone pond]

that way when i clear a drive i dont have to worry if i deleted windows.exe

lol

[spark creek]

just make a backup? or reinstall windows?

or don't clear the drive

[lone pond]

crash pc wont turn on

[little slate]

it sounds like your PC mentality is still from 20 years ago...

[lone pond]

same as when i was born, nice

i mustve been a smart baby

[little slate]

your OS isn't just randomly going to crash and stop working without a recovery

unless you go download moreram.exe or something of that sort

at which point it doesn't matter what's separated on different drives

[lone pond]

i wonder, mp34 ssd 1tb i may get

i know i wont be using so much space on my comp

i play a game till im so tired of it and then uninstall

[little slate]

there are games that take up 250 gigs of space on their own today

[lone pond]

idk what games ur playing

[spark creek]

warzone lmao

[lone pond]

but if ur talkn abotu those open map games with hundreds of km of rendering, i dont play those games

warzone doesnt take up that much space?

if it did i wouldnt have been able to download it onto my laptop

175gb

[spark creek]

that was a joke/poke at warzone being large

[little slate]

they patched it in october

to go from 220+ gigs down to 175

[lone pond]

coolz

still could store 9 more game son it

which as i said, i play 1 game till im drop dead bored of it

then i uninstall

[clear frigate]

Dang under 200 gb time to get it again

[lone pond]

lol

[little slate]

also if you want your ssd to last, it's suggested to keep 10-20% of it's space empty

[lone pond]

that is noooo problem! lol

anyways anyone here understand keyboards

[little slate]

yes

[lone pond]

i want a laptop keyboard

uk the nice easy keys

[little slate]

nvm

[lone pond]

for the desktop

[little slate]

mechanical or bust

so I can't help you there

[lone pond]

i have no idea which it is d

kk

[spark creek]

#peripherals-and-displays

[lone pond]

yep went there

[spark creek]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/a100/

80gb?

[clear frigate]

But how's it game

[lone pond]

as good as ur head game 😮

[clear frigate]

Um okay then

[limber wing]

what are good prices for used 1660 super, 1660 ti, 1070, and 1070 ti

@ me when answer

[limber ridge]

What graphics card goes well will r5 2600? Dont mind what brand

[hidden carbon]

probably a 1660 super or 2060

maybe 260super

[rigid crag]

Budget and use case?

[vast agate]

Does anyone know if there's a super light 3080 or 3070?

I'm taking one with me on my luggage, and im worried since most of them weight like 4 pounds, and in luggage terms, that's a lot

[winged granite]

what

[wicked idol]

I have 627 left for my graphic card budget + keyboard . What graphic card goes with ryzen 7 3700x?

[lone pond]

@wicked idol im tryn to figure it out myself except mine is keyboard and mouse xd, so far i got the 2060 that can handle 1080p monitor 144 hz

[ripe ivy]

Anything will work fine honestly with a 3700X

[open crystal]

i got a 5700xt, are the drivers nowadays still bad or do they hold up? (for brother)

[wicked idol]

the keyboard that I might be getting is like a gk61 white

[open crystal]

tbh last time i heard they were fine

[ripe ivy]

They've been fine yeah

[lone pond]

i got this

[wicked idol]

Oh are 5700xt good?

[lone pond]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yw7cxc

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LSGKEC4

ignore some parts in there im removing hdd, and the ssd, going to get a 2tb ssd

in doing so i am fine with a 400 dollar gpu

[wicked idol]

Damn is it worth 40 dollars to go from 3200 to 3600 for ram?

[lone pond]

to keep price in same spot of 1.5k

for me it will be

my build is lookin into future

[wicked idol]

ah, because mine cost 92 dollars

[ripe ivy]

That's the ideal price/performance range for RAM and Ryzen

[lone pond]

its only a small diff

for more time before u gatta change

i got nore space on it

its 3600 with 32gb

[wicked idol]

oh if it's a small diff, then I'm fine

[lone pond]

so its a pretty nice bargain

[noble rivet]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-rtx-2060-rog-strix-rtx2060-a6g-evo-gaming/p/N82E16814126464?Item=N82E16814126464

are the specs on this specific card good or should I rethink my possible buy

[ripe ivy]

3200 is where you at least want it anyway

[lone pond]

i just look at time to price performance

[ripe ivy]

If it were 2666 then it'd be slow

[lone pond]

if i can milk out another 4 yrs on this or 5 yrs ill take the 40 dollar premium

[ripe ivy]

I don't think the RAM will be a factor for longevity

[lone pond]

when things that are new come out with massive ram eating it will

[ripe ivy]

Honestly if you wanted 5 years out of the pc, 12 cores would do

[lone pond]

we alrdy gettn into vr

nah 8 core 16 thread is fine for 10 yrs

everyone still recommending ryzen 5 so we good xd been recommended for yrd

[ripe ivy]

Hmm nothing's ever good for 10 years

[lone pond]

yrs

my friends desktop is alrdy on its 9th yr, holding strong

[ripe ivy]

Well I suppose the 2600K might have been a rare exception

[open crystal]

god dude i'm getting a 9900k and i only have like 2400 ram

like

i need new ram

[winged granite]

Whats the best GPU for $300-350?

[open crystal]

it's so dang slow

[lone pond]

lol 2400 ram

did u overclock

[open crystal]

2400 mhz

no

to lazy

[lone pond]

do it

just enable xmp in bios

[open crystal]

there is no xmp profile for it

[ripe ivy]

That might be its speed

[lone pond]

drain every last piece of life in it

oh

[open crystal]

and the rated speed for it is 2400

yeah

[lone pond]

go 4000

lol

[open crystal]

why

[lone pond]

u ganna throw it away

[open crystal]

3600 is what il be getting

[lone pond]

may as well fk it up

[ripe ivy]

3000 or 3200 would be fine

Intel's ring bus doesn't need the extra latency

[lone pond]

im talkn abt his ram lol

i dont mean buy a 4000 ram

[open crystal]

im thinking 32gb

[lone pond]

@open crystal hows ur gpu

[open crystal]

or keep 16?

[lone pond]

i went 32gb

[open crystal]

it's been fine for awhile

[lone pond]

price diff so worth it

[ripe ivy]

It's time to go 32 I'd say if you've been on 16

[lone pond]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LSGKEC4 i like this keyboard not even ganna 2nd guess it anymore

this*

cuz ima be homest with u, ima try gaming using my xbox one controller, while using my pc

i miss good old days with a controller

[still cradle]

people are actually insane there is a RX 6800XT on ebay with 40 bids going for $25400

[hidden carbon]

it wont be paid for

its bots competing with eachother

lm ao

[still cradle]

I know but still

thats absolutely hilarious

[twilit bluff]

So currently trying to get an asus 3080. Obviously that’s difficult atm so if it comes down to it what graphics card should I get to fill my pc until I get a 3080?

[still cradle]

on average theyre around 1000 on ebay

[lone pond]

computer

[still cradle]

well considering amd blew smoke with their promise of "plenty of stock" i would say hold on to what you have for now until its actually possible to get something lol

[twilit bluff]

Alright lol

Only problem is my current computer had mad issues and can’t run the most simple of games rn 😂

[lone pond]

@still cradle imagine if one the bots actually spend 25k and that dude wakes up to a 25k purchase

[still cradle]

😂

[twilit bluff]

So I have a 2000 dollar computer build sitting there completely useless because I don’t have a graphics card

[still cradle]

what are your specs

[lone pond]

@twilit bluff what kind of build did u make xd

[still cradle]

and your pricepoint

[lone pond]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yw7cxc my build 1.5k

i cant get anywhere near 2l unless i get maybe 3090 lol

[still cradle]

@twilit bluff im still running a r5 3600 and 5700

[twilit bluff]

One sec throwing it into Newegg pc builder lol

[still cradle]

im probably gonna skip this graphics and cpu release

[ripe ivy]

AMD never made promises, but Frank Azor sure overstepped and made implications that is definitely making em look bad

[noble rivet]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-rtx-2060-rog-strix-rtx2060-a6g-evo-gaming/p/N82E16814126464?Item=N82E16814126464

should I get this card? compared to amazon its 300 off, which is very weird but I mean...

[ripe ivy]

Uh 369 for a 2060? That's a solid pass

[still cradle]

@noble rivet if youre trying to get your best bang for the buck get the RX 5700 but if you want ray tracing id reccommend a 2060 super

[noble rivet]

thats what I was thinking. and there was actually like things in stock unlike amazon. the thing is, is newegg actually reliable? have seen some things bad about it but

and wait wait when u say 369 for a 2060, u mean as in good right

[ripe ivy]

No not at all

[still cradle]

no

[ripe ivy]

If it's significantly more than 300 that's a horrible deal

[still cradle]

369 is near the launch price of the RX 5700 which outperforms it in almost everything

[noble rivet]

but the thing is, I was seeing 600 for the things that were in stock on amazon, and most things for the 2060 on newegg for like 380-400 things like that

[still cradle]

yikes

[noble rivet]

even saw things up to like 800 for a non super which is a scam

[still cradle]

are you in the US?

[noble rivet]

Yeah im talking USD

[still cradle]

ok

https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Triple-Dissipation-Graphics-RX-57XT83LD8/dp/B087J3KM2X/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3D0MZZOS2PGWR&dchild=1&keywords=rx+5700+xt&qid=1606422359&sprefix=rx+5700%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-4

[noble rivet]

I mean on amazon the price is like 600

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Axial-tech-Auto-Extreme-DisplayPort-ROG-STRIX-RTX2060-O6G-EVO-GAMING/dp/B0892TD5XD/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=ASUS+ROG+STRIX+GeForce+RTX+2060&qid=1606422374&sr=8-7

[still cradle]

$430 for a rx 5700xt not terrible but not great either

[twilit bluff]

Specs:

Intel Core i7-9700K

CORSAIR RMX Series, RM850x

PNY CS2130 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen3 x4

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz

Asus Rog Strix Z390-H Gaming

CORSAIR CARBIDE 275R Mid-Tower Gaming Case

Corsair Hydro Series H80i v2 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, 120mm

And then the 3080 obviously

[still cradle]

ok @twilit bluff what are you looking to spend max on a gpu

[ripe ivy]

Those prices aren't from Amazon, they're from third party sellers

[twilit bluff]

Not sure tbh @still cradle

[still cradle]

umm

what are you looking to play

[noble rivet]

@ripe ivy I'm aware, but still theres that same one on newegg for 369. It's the cheapest i've seen and I mean for what I need the speeds arent bad atleast yk

[twilit bluff]

Main games atm are rust ark gta and dayz

[still cradle]

@twilit bluff can you hop ion a voice chanel

[twilit bluff]

I can’t atm at a thanksgiving party 😂

[still cradle]

ah

[twilit bluff]

Yeah

[noble rivet]

@ripe ivy @still cradle honestly this looks like my best option for 2060's.

[still cradle]

ok im gonna recommend for Nvidia an rtx 3070 and for AMD the RX 5700XT @twilit bluff

[twilit bluff]

Alright I’ll look into it @still cradle

[still cradle]

alrighty glad i could help

@noble rivet can you not find a super card?

[noble rivet]

@still cradle I could look

@still cradle these are the prices....

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=2060+Super
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=2060+super&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

[still cradle]

ok nvidia stock is looking terrible on amazon

[winged granite]

2060s are impossible to find for below like 400 dollars

massive pain

[noble rivet]

thats what I was saying like theres nothing for nvidia on amazon rn

[still cradle]

do you want to have ray tracing

[noble rivet]

@still cradle It'd be nice, if you're gonna recommend Radeon I'll probably be a bit iffy about it. Not a huge radeon fan but i mean

[fervent obsidian]

don't buy last gen just wait for stock

[still cradle]

the only 2 2060 super cards newegg has right now for $400 are sold out

[noble rivet]

@fervent obsidian I really don't care for getting a 3000 series. it's not gonna be in stock and if it is it's gonna be back out of stock so its whatever

[fervent obsidian]

it's not really hard to get

[still cradle]

@noble rivet honestly @fervent obsidian is probably right

[noble rivet]

@fervent obsidian mhm tried multiple times

[fervent obsidian]

i've had so many chances to get one lol

[noble rivet]

i'm aware, but i've tried multiple times. nothing

[fervent obsidian]

same for 5000 series cpus

[still cradle]

the big problem thats delaying the surge in old stock and resale is the lack of new card being produced

[noble rivet]

yeah

and also, 500 for a gpu is a little bit eh for me. this is my first computer im actually building, and the game that probably takes the most out of my computer is cod so

[still cradle]

you said you play rust correct?

[noble rivet]

that was the other guy

[fervent obsidian]

what's the budget overall for the pc zube?

[still cradle]

my bad lol

[noble rivet]

I feel like its my best bet saying my luck with the 3000 series

[still cradle]

honestly your best bet (if you really wanna build it yourself) is to wait for old stock to surge, or to go with the 5700 or 5700xt since the radeon cards still seem to be available

[noble rivet]

radeon? mmm maybe

lol just jokes btw

[winged granite]

do radeons still have big driver and crashing issues?

[noble rivet]

Idk I've been seeing the same prices for a while for the 2000 series. ever since like 6 months ago it's been the same

[still cradle]

the 5000 series not from what ivge seen and experienced first hand

thats probably due to maturity in drivers

theyve been out close to a year nowe

now*

but if youre not comfortable in buying something im not going to push you to buy a product you wont be happy with in the end

[noble rivet]

Yeah I mean honestly like i've had no luck in the gpu side of the build. i feel like im gonna settle with that $369 gpu.

the other thing is this stuff is for christmas. like my parents are helping me out and they were just saying they'll buy the rest of the stuff I need for christmas.

i'm a teen btw

so like money is iffy

[still cradle]

ive been there 😂

my first build was a FX 4300 with a RX 480 bc i couldnt afford Intel and Nvidia

[noble rivet]

jeez

[still cradle]

yeah

[ripe ivy]

480 is still a great card though

But Bulldozer was a mistake

[still cradle]

the x300 cpus were on vishera which was improved over bulldozer but were still garbage

[noble rivet]

I mean ik a 2060 at 369$ is like 20 over the launch price but it make sense saying the stock of nvidia cards are weird rn. the card itself is good but im gonna overpay no matter what unless i wait months after christmas and things like that

yk my situation?

[still cradle]

but i did manage to OC the cpu to 5.2 all core

so that eliminated my bottleneck for a good while

[ripe ivy]

It's the same architecture, Steamroller, Piledriver whatever.

[still cradle]

i know lol

[ripe ivy]

Basically the same thing, what did they improve anyway?

I guess clock speeds?

[noble rivet]

and unless I go with the 1000 series, its gonna be overpay.

[still cradle]

slight ipc improvement

wasnt enough to make faildozer good though😂

@noble rivet if you feel like youll be happy with the 2060 then pull the trigger my dude

[noble rivet]

yeah im probably just gonna settle with it

[still cradle]

👍

[noble rivet]

alright ty

[still cradle]

glad i could help

[fathom cliff]

To those who are still looking for parts... I got to a microcenter (4 hours away from where I live) and got an asus strix 3070 and a 5900 cpu for my wife as well as a 3090 and 5950x for myself.

1. You have to get their early af. I was 12th in line and I got there at 6am.
2. Each person is limited to 1cpu and 1gpu each so if you are buying multiple due to building multiple systems... bring a friend willing to stay in line (in my case, my wife because it was her system anyways).
3. Until newegg, Amazon and other online retailers find a way to stop botting, scalping, or finally get decent stock (not their fault for not having any to sell if they aren't recieving anything.) Microcenter will by far be our best bet for getting new equipment.

Just my 2 cents and experience with all of this chaos.

[cold spire]

what is a good GPU for a $700 budget.

[opaque stratus]

3080 on msrp price

or a 3070 overpriced

if you are lucky enough

[eternal locust]

If you gonna drop that kinda money better to wait for an MSRP 3080

[ripe ivy]

Better luck next quarter

[terse bloom]

I understand, and I agree. I actually have a Micro Center about 7 miles from where I live. 20 minutes drive. Unfortunately, even though I check their website every morning at 7AM, 2 or 3 hours before they open, they still don't have any 3080. Only 3070 or 3090. The one time they did get 3080 restock, was on a Sunday. I arrived at their store 2 hours before they open, was 8th in line, on a rainy day. They only had 7, and I left empty-handed.

[lone pond]

mr111 has a build for 700 bucks, but u have to dm him

[muted isle]

Managed to get a RTX 3080 for 749 dollars here in Brazil

damn but that was hard

EVGA model

[fickle tinsel]

3070 FE or Msi 3070 gaming trio

[hollow zephyr]

Don't matter

Just get one

[fickle tinsel]

What about the airflow for each

I was thinking of getting the h510i

Would that affect the airflow for the gpu in a unfavorable way ?

[paper depot]

hey dude i got a MSI 3070 🙂

should arrive tomorrow, took awhile getting out of the newegg warehouse

[polar dome]

I envy your lucky, today I got my second order voided for a 3070

[fickle tinsel]

Nice bro!! How do you think it is

@paper depot you got a list of your entire build?

I’m trying to build my first pc and am just trying to get ideas 😂

Well you hit the jackpot, managed to get a PS5 and 3070 before the holidays 😂

[fickle tinsel]

You didn’t get the gaming trio msi 3070? @paper depot

[paper depot]

just a msi 3070 🙂

[fickle tinsel]

Nice ram, I was thinking of getting the royale 16gb cl16 3600 as well

Looks real nice

[paper depot]

yeah man idk how i managed it, got real lucky on the 3070

[fickle tinsel]

This was something I was going for

i dont know enough about pc's tbh lol but will that 650w psu be enough for the 3070?

anyone know anything about asus cancelling 3080 non-oc skus?

[fickle tinsel]

Yeah I think 650 is just enough

I watched some video and the box said 650w was recommended

Well at least 650w 😂

[paper depot]

damn then maybe i could stick with my 750w original choice

[fickle tinsel]

Yea maybe

You got a lot of fancy fans and stuff though

Gonna look dripped out 🤑

[paper depot]

thanks 😂

[fickle tinsel]

How’s you decide on this build

@paper depot

Did a friend help 😯

[paper depot]

Naw i just decided I wanted to do it lol

Wanted something thiccc for cyber punk

[clear frigate]

Should I just get a 5000 series radeon card

[paper depot]

That seems to be a common trend in here

[clear frigate]

I got everything but card and honestly just want it operational at this point

[ripe ivy]

It's your move, I don't think you could go wrong with getting a 5600XT or 5700XT for now

[crisp ocean]

650 is ok, 700-750 is good just to be sure

what CPU do you have?

[fickle tinsel]

3600

@crisp ocean he was helping me 😂

[crisp ocean]

ah i see

a 650 might be cutting it close, i recommend a 750w still

[paper depot]

well i dont exactly have one yet but i want a r9 5900x

[crisp ocean]

750w or 850w paired with a 3070

probably 850w

750w would be cutting it low

[frozen seal]

as long as its a good 750

or a mid-range-low 850

lows really are never great tho

try to at least get the mid-range ones

[ripe ivy]

750 would be fine, get an EVGA G3 or something

[crisp ocean]

Right now the coolermaster EMW or whatver is $100

[paper depot]

Is there any issue with going high, so if I did end up getting a 1000w?

[ripe ivy]

No there would be no issue other than paying more

And if you're alright with that, then it isn't really an issue

[paper depot]

[ripe ivy]

If anything it's better because power supplies are most efficient at around 50% load

[paper depot]

Oooo then I will just get a 1000w, considering I originally wanted a 3080 but just managed to get a 3070 instead lol

[unkempt onyx]

Do you guys think Microcenter would get restocked with 3070's tomorrow?

[paper depot]

Maybe brother man

[unkempt onyx]

I hope

[paper depot]

Always worth a shot

[ripe ivy]

3070s are being restocked a lot more than 3080s

[unkempt onyx]

I've been gaming on sh** macbook for 7 years

[ripe ivy]

3090s too technically

[fervent obsidian]

if you have a 3070 650 is fine and if you have it paired with some low power cpu u could prob run it on 550

[unkempt onyx]

If I don't get a 3070 i'll have to get a 2060

[crisp ocean]

Thats fine, a 1000w power supply will be overkill unless youre running a 3090 sli rig lmao

But it isnt a bad thing

[crisp ocean]

I would NOT go to 550

at all

the power spike will end it

650 is iffy

750 is optimal

[paper depot]

Yeah I'm just assuming I'll be upgrading in a year or two and I don't wanna deal with any issues with that later on lol

[crisp ocean]

unless youll be getting a 4090 lmao you should be good until you need a completely new PC

[paper depot]

Idk what imma want lmao just playing it safe for myself

[clear frigate]

Ight guess I'll watch 3070s more now

[sterile swallow]

lol i thought these cards were restocking today, any idea when more stock will come any 1?

[timid willow]

july

[fathom cliff]

Ya, their system doesn't work optimally by any means. But it is still better than refreshing websites over and over again all day.

[eager saffron]

Will the 3070 founders edition actually restock at midnight

[hexed badger]

is it ok to have intel xmp 2.0 ram with a ryzen cpu

[paper depot]

#cpus-mobo-and-memory

[wooden drift]

Do you guys recommend me to buy the 1660 super over the 1660 ti

[hollow zephyr]

Yes

None are in stock regardless

[wooden drift]

I found a 300 dollar Gigabyte 1660 super

[crimson barn]

idk i think its a bit much

[fervent obsidian]

1660s for 300 ain’t it

[wooden drift]

Well I’m not going to buy a gpu yet until the prices on them calm down

[prime venture]

Any 3080 combos drop today

[lone pond]

Just get a 5600 xt for that price

[last breach]

will nvidia and the aib keep producing 20 series gpus for another while or its 100% 30 series?

[frozen seal]

i mean, they're still producing 10 series gpu's for all i know

[last breach]

they do?

[frozen seal]

heck, i think it was asus that came out with a new gt710 like last month or smth

[last breach]

because with how crazy things are now i'll give up trying to get a 5600x and a 3070. I literally have all the other parts for my pc

3600x and used 2060s/2070s is gonna be the backup plan

[frozen seal]

canadia boi by any chance?

[last breach]

yup

im not paying 900cad for a 6800

nvidia said the 3070 had the performance of a 2080ti but not the price

[lone pond]

if i domt get 3060ti on dec 2nd im gettn amd radeon 5700 xt or 2060 super

dont even care anymore to play this chase game when people are botting for best gpus

just like tryn to get a supreme shirt, people botting the hell out of those sites

[last breach]

these prices are so absurd that they make me feel ashamed of taking part in that race to have a chance to buy a cpu or a gpu

[ripe ivy]

It's a perpetual cycle that will continue as gpu "launches" occur

It'll die down after the holidays I think though

[frozen seal]

oh, in that case you can go to a can go to a canada computers, they let you reserve a back ordered card

so like

you'll pay for it

then you're put in a queue

and once yours arrives, its reserved for i think a week long period during which you can go pick it up

[last breach]

yeah but i dont live near a canada computers and also there is no information on how long ill wait until it is my turn. I tried contacting sales support and got told they had no way of knowing how much people had placed backorders

[ripe ivy]

I don't think queues are worth it, by the time it's your turn there would have been dozens of chances to buy the card you're looking for probably

[last breach]

exactly my thought

[frozen seal]

whelp, i was put in queue for a 3070 eagle and i was only 8th

[last breach]

I wouldn't have taken part in this circus if my friend had not made me a great offer to buy my current pc

[frozen seal]

and that was about 11 days ago now i think

[last breach]

at canada computers?

[frozen seal]

mhm

[last breach]

and the site you are talking about the backorders is pc canada, not canada computers

[frozen seal]

what?

i definitely was in a canada computers when i paid for a 3070 card that they did not currently have

and reserved my spot in a queue

[last breach]

https://www.pc-canada.com/item/100-100000065BOX.html

look at the top of the page

[frozen seal]

ok, you can do the same thing at canada computers

didnt know that pc canada had it as well

canada is great apparently for reserving things

[last breach]

they dont allow backorders at canada computers it does seem
https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_559&item_id=183500

[frozen seal]

then how did i do it...

[last breach]

they must have changed their policy due to high amount of backorderes

[frozen seal]

i literally gave the person my money for it and they said they'd email me when it arrived

huh

[last breach]

you bought it in store or on the website?

[frozen seal]

in store

[ripe ivy]

Could depend on the location

Or maybe they're only doing it at the stores

[tame bane]

So the MSI ventus 3090 is loud as hecc, thoughts on what could be done to reduce the fan noise?

[topaz furnace]

You guys think they saving all the stock for tmr?

[lone pond]

Adjust fan curve

Or if you think its faulty send it back. You spent a lot of money on that thing better make sure you're happy with it

[topaz furnace]

You guys think they saving all the 3070, 3080, 3090 stock for tmr?

[tame bane]

I was thinking of maybe some sort of modification, like replacing the fans or water cooling?

[lone pond]

Could definitely replace the fans but I wouldn't pay for it out of pocket

Its a brand new card shouldn't have any issues

[tame bane]

it whines

[lone pond]

Is it the fans or coil whine?

[tame bane]

the fans

the fans are turning so fast they whine I think

[lone pond]

Huh. Normally whining is the actual GPU itself at least in my experience. If it is the fans you'd have to talk to MSI and see what they say

[tame bane]

I guess I'm not sure then

[lone pond]

Not sure watercooling would fix anything

[tame bane]

maybe you could hop in video chat and see/hear it and tell me what you think

?

[lone pond]

Then again i've never watercooled anything

Cant rn im in bed lol

Take a video and send it

[tame bane]

ah ok, I just meant I would show my video, not that you need to

[lone pond]

Sure then

[tame bane]

I'll pop into general 1 in the voice chat section

[lone pond]

Ok

[tame bane]

hear it?

[lone pond]

Nah not really let me grab my headphones

[tame bane]

it won't let me share video so sound is the best I can do

[lone pond]

no worries gimme a sec

Trying to connect my headphones

[upper mural]

CDW is taking orders for the Asus model 6800xt at a 100$ mark up and 30$ shipping. Idk how legit it is but order is in. I think it may be the reference design

[terse bloom]

Micro Center in Yonkers, NY certainly is.
This is their stock, taken from this morning, on a day they are closed.
They getting ready for Black Friday.

[topaz furnace]

Hope so

How do you think newegg and the evga website will be?

[last breach]

a complete wreck assaulted by bots

sorry to spoil tomorrow

[dusk hedge]

now thats what i call epic

would u buy this if it was under 320 usd

[last breach]

its 472 cad which is not a terrible price

but amd 5000 series so...

[dusk hedge]

price is gonna drop in a few hours in canada

[last breach]

why will it drop?

[dusk hedge]

every day the say certain items will drop price the next day

that is one of em

[last breach]

where do they say that?

not that i dont believe you but im curious about this

[dusk hedge]

on the app

the gpu is the last one

@last breach

[last breach]

oh its only on the app?

[balmy pawn]

Anybody know how much fps i can expect with a 1650 and a i5 9400

Only card that fits in my budget

[dusk hedge]

@last breach the daily deal menu only shows on the app but anyone will be able to take advantage of the sale

[last breach]

it is entirely based on what games you play and at what resolution

[dusk hedge]

well said

[last breach]

id still stay away from a 5600xt depending on your budget and either go for a 5700xt but again, amd 5000 series

or a 2060 /2070super

[spare relic]

1080p, medium/high, should get around 30-60 fps

Maybe higher than 30-60, more like 50-100

[dusk hedge]

but the sale tho

[spare relic]

You might find some videos demonstrating that CPU/GPU combination on YouTube

[last breach]

it depends on your budget at this point

ive heard a lot of crap things about amd 5000 series drivers issues

random crash to desktop, shutdown, overheat, fan noise, etc.

[dusk hedge]

true

[last breach]

theres a dude in my city that sells a 5700xt for 500 cad (around 350 usd) and im undecided if i risk myself or not

[dusk hedge]

ahaha true

[lone pond]

which is better

[dusk hedge]

I'd tell him 400 cash

[lone pond]

both are 5700 xt

[ripe ivy]

A used 5700XT?

[lone pond]

nope new

[ripe ivy]

Eh, probably trying to sell off a lemon

I wouldn't be surprised

[last breach]

my cousin is ready to lend me his old 970 until I find a reasonnably priced 3070 or 6800

[lone pond]

why would it be a lemon

[ripe ivy]

Well I'm not talking about those new cards

[dusk hedge]

@lone pond I'd go for the top just bc 3 fans usually means quieter

[ripe ivy]

That alleged dude selling one

Obviously used right

[sly blade]

quick ? for you guys if there was a prob with my gpu it be across all games yeah? when i launch some games my pc resets on loading some games are not demanding at all but than i can run ac valhalla from epic maxed out no issues
