[lone pond]

Just grab whatever.

Review of both cards and uh...way easier to google search.

[green hatch]

i literally had no clue that the 3060 ti was launching today

[lone pond]

[green hatch]

lol

[lone pond]

Nobody had

[green hatch]

only reason i knew was because linus was in my dms

[remote cargo]

it launches to@orrow techically

[lone pond]

Gamer nexus & 2k launched a review on 3060 ti cards

[silk kiln]

wait is it confirmed to launch today?

[static rock]

no

[green hatch]

honestly though

i just want a gpu that syncs with icue lol

[static rock]

then asus

[green hatch]

i dont think there gpus do

only mobos

[remote cargo]

only asus syncs with icue?

[green hatch]

yeah they have a partnership

i have a asus b450 and it syncs with icue great

[static rock]

https://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=198572

[remote cargo]

mobo or gpu

[green hatch]

mobo

bruh b450 is a mobo

[remote cargo]

I’m

ik

[remote cargo]

this got me confused

[green hatch]

but the asus variant of my gpu they messed up on the mounting presssure

so i didnt get it

[steep wind]

Looks like Nvidia finally made a reasonably priced RTX card.

The 3060Ti exists now, and meets/beats the 2080S in most games and handily slaps it around in Render tests, and is only 399.99 MSRP

Which is, the same price I paid for my 1070 back when that launched.

It looks like the 3060Ti is going to be the go-to budget 1440p Ultra GPU, with it reaching ~90 FPS in most 1440p Raster games, and Raytraced games with DLSS On.

[cobalt star]

how do we get it

is there a link that's up (not to buy, but to get ready)

[faint pumice]

People who have camped out to get a card, what time did you get to the store?

[static rock]

there are links that are up tomorrow

[cobalt star]

I may set up a bot so I can beat the other bots people have

what time do you think?

[real echo]

Imagine you still don't get em 😭

[cobalt star]

that just shows it's rigged

[fervent obsidian]

just be patient lol

[naive girder]

anyone know the specs for the 3060 ti

[lone pond]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3060-ti.c3681

[atomic abyss]

kinda torn between getting a 3080 or 6800 xt could anyone help me out

[dusk oasis]

anyone know the specs for the 3060 ti
@naive girder at what time they are getting released

[naive girder]

9am est tomorrow

Btw I already got the specs don’t worry

[dusk oasis]

9am est tomorrow
@naive girder thx

[cobalt star]

wait

that's so early

for me

that's 6 am

damn it

[rich oasis]

nice

[fringe pilot]

I look at 3060 if I was going to spend $400 for the low end card why wouldn't I just throw more money for the 3080?

[rich oasis]

because its almost twice as much

??

and people don't want to spend 300 dollars more for a card they probably don't need

[fringe pilot]

I mean if you're really into 4k and want good 4k performance you're probably going to want to budget for the 3080, otherwise the 3060 is probably overpriced if you want to stay 1080p

[remote cargo]

3060 ti is good specs for what nvidia is offering

and it’s good for budget builds

[arctic sail]

should i get a Asus 1660ti or a gigabyte 1660ti

idk which is better

[fluid star]

Palit or in o 3d?

Inno

[hollow zephyr]

Neither @arctic sail

Go for a 1660super

[edgy gyro]

When was the last time anyone has seen a 3080 or 70 on newegg?

[static rock]

in stock?

a pny 3070 on newegg on 11/27

[jolly silo]

What gpu should I get if I'm on a 1.5k budget

[eager timber]

1.5k for whole build?

1650 or higher if possible

[ripe ivy]

For 1.5k try to get a 3070 or better

[dusk oasis]

How can he get a 3070 with no stock

[ripe ivy]

Well I never said it would be easy

[solid bluff]

What gpu is good for a 2.5 to 3k PC build (USA)

[dense flicker]

3090

[solid bluff]

Really

That felt too high

[steep wind]

Yeah, at that budget, slap a 3090 in it.

[dense flicker]

or a 3080 if youd rather spend more money on RGB and stuff

[solid bluff]

Yeah

[dense flicker]

(3080 is a lot better value anyways)

[steep wind]

Slap a 3090 in a 5600X

Or a 3080 in a 5600X

[solid bluff]

I am doing cable management

[dense flicker]

as you should

[frozen seal]

why wouldnt you

[steep wind]

Going higher on CPU unless you are doing like, a lot of rendering or something CPU intensive is pointless.

[solid bluff]

I like 3080 better, it seems like a better deal when it goes back in stock

[frozen seal]

and more options than the 3090

[solid bluff]

So 3080 or 3090

I will see

Do you have any tips on how to get them in stock

[steep wind]

3080 + higher tier other parts.

2.5K USD? Hmm. Let me see what I can whip up.

Any specific colors you want?

[steel smelt]

5600 and 5700 back in stock on Newegg at MSRP

[solid bluff]

No just plain rgb

[steep wind]

But do you want a white case? black case?

[solid bluff]

Black

Or no rgb

[steep wind]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gXCzkX

That's what i'd build.

[solid bluff]

Ok thank you.

[dusk hedge]

when will the 3060ti be available on newegg

[daring tusk]

probably 9 am EST / 6 am PST tomorrow morning

[tulip garnet]

Wasn't the 3070 released at a earlier time than it was listed for?

[rich oasis]

no

[tulip garnet]

Ya, i might have just been unlucky lol

[daring tusk]

according to some reddit post that i cant find anymore, newegg.ca has like ~120 3060 TIs and newegg us has ~80.

why canada gets so many idk

[glad saffron]

Best way to get rid of all existing drivers to use new ones?

Going from Nvidia to AMD

[daring tusk]

pretty sure yo ucan use geforce experience to remove drivers

although im not entirely sure

[vagrant phoenix]

DDU... https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

[glad saffron]

@vagrant phoenix thank you

[lone pond]

Sapphaire Radeion Pulse RX 580 8GB? Is it good

Think we are gonna get a midnight drop for the 3060's? or is it gonna be some super random times like everything else seems to be

Hoping midnight

I posted the links earlier so you don't have to dig

Find the ones you want the most and just abuse your f5 like a redheaded step child once they are available

[spice prawn]

its most likely the same time as all the previous cards

[lone pond]

Which was what

[spice prawn]

look up your region @lone pond

[lone pond]

the amd cards and cpus were 9am est

[dusk oasis]

3060ti is getting release 9am or 8am ?est

[lone pond]

seems like 9am but no confirmation

[granite jay]

then 6 am Pacific?

[dusk oasis]

cause a friend is saying they are getting release 8am est but idk

[lone pond]

It is just a estimation though, nvidia didn't give any other info about the release other than it's gonna drop tommorow

[granite jay]

ok

[dusk oasis]

It is just a estimation though, nvidia didn't give any other info about the release other than it's gonna drop tommorow
@lone pond butthe other cards

what was the release time

[wild quest]

Thank god for microcenter warranty and return policy

Rtx 3060ti is being released tomorrow and I bought a 5700xt just last week

I might not get it anyway tho tbh

[lone pond]

Yeah same

Just got a 5600xt but if I cop a 3060ti i'll return it

Good till January 31st

[hazy valley]

I'm looking forward when they restock 1660.

[devout zinc]

should i get a 2060 ko or a 5600xt

[lone pond]

Uh...5600 xt i think
2060 ko is just a 2080 chip that went wrong

But still decent card

[whole veldt]

is the 1660ti worth it?

[lone pond]

Depends

[whole veldt]

for streaming and playing warzone? :V

[lone pond]

I mean the price might not be worth it
As you can get a 5600 xt

But yeah, it is a decent card.

[whole veldt]

yeah i was thinking about getting an amd but i think that nvidia drivers are better for streaming

[lone pond]

Oh yeah, forgotten that

[whole veldt]

but i dont know if there is a huge difference

[lone pond]

Nvidia have better encodec.

[static rock]

nvidia has nvenc

[solid bluff]

Is nvidia dlss any good?

[lone pond]

Yep.

[spice prawn]

depending on preference and depending on the specific game, its good

[lone pond]

https://youtu.be/_gQ202CFKzA

Here is a good video about it tho

[dark gate]

3060ti or 3070?

[civic harbor]

Cant wait to get a 3060 ti in 2055

[solid bluff]

Ti seems like the better more affordable one but I still think t he 3070 is better

[civic harbor]

Well yeah its better for sure

[spice prawn]

ofc the 3070 is faster

we know this

the question, as always, is: Will there be any available?

[dark gate]

yea, i just wonder if ill be able to get a 3070 soon around msrp or if i should try for a 3060ti

[spice prawn]

shrugs

[civic harbor]

Im gonna just wait until febuary to upgrade to 3060 TI

[lone pond]

finna buy a 3060ti and spray paint it gunmetal grey so it runs faster 😎

[whole veldt]

same

[plush terrace]

what is a good cheep gpu

[lone pond]

1660 super or rx 580

[civic harbor]

How cheap

[dark gate]

im trying to get a gpu asap im borrowing a friends atm and dont want to hold onto this one for longer than i need to

[plush terrace]

100 600$

[silk kiln]

id say go for a 3060, since chances are, 3070s arent gonna be very available or affordable for a while

[civic harbor]

100-600?

[lone pond]

to 600$ just buy a 3060 brotherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[dark gate]

anyone know what time it comes out?

[kind flame]

1660 i got for like $310 CDN

[lone pond]

tmrw

[civic harbor]

3070 brotherrrrrr

[lone pond]

@dark gate

[lone pond]

Neither will 3060 ti lol

[civic harbor]

If he can

[whole veldt]

yeah

[silk kiln]

of course, but its worth a try

[lone pond]

just make a python script and cop 1

since they dont have robot detection anyways

[civic harbor]

Hmmm

[plush terrace]

they are all sold out

[whole veldt]

resellers are gonna get all the stock and the price will blow up

[civic harbor]

So will 3060 ti and why not wait if you can afford it

[lusty wedge]

What power block do you guys recommend for a 3060 TI?

I have a 500W rn

[plush terrace]

thx

[lusty wedge]

Not even fully modular either lel

[lone pond]

3060 ti comes out tmrw so

[civic harbor]

Id say in febuary the 3070 will be readily available, it is a good increase and if you can afford it the wait is worth it👍

[plush terrace]

what is a good cheep cpu same price as i said befor

[lone pond]

get a 3700x

r7

[fervent obsidian]

main man what's budget for cpu

[plush terrace]

wich one

[civic harbor]

I think 5800x is out of stock too but again I would wait

[lone pond]

ryzen 7

[plush terrace]

100 600

[civic harbor]

@plush terrace What Is Your Build Budget

[fervent obsidian]

100 for cpu and 600 for gpu?

[plush terrace]

yes

[fervent obsidian]

i'd switch it to 200 500 and get a r5 3600 + 3070

[lone pond]

woahhh

[civic harbor]

Yes

[lone pond]

ye what @fervent obsidian

[lusty wedge]

I have a Ryzen 7 3800XT this thing gets hot

[fervent obsidian]

yeah xt runs hot

[lone pond]

if you want those prices your oging to have to wait a fair amount of months since everythings fluxiating in price

due to christmas coming up nd sheet

[fervent obsidian]

well you're gonna have to wait for the gpu obv

[civic harbor]

@plush terrace how much are you spending on your build and what is it for

[fervent obsidian]

but cpu is easy enough

[lone pond]

meh cpus are weird lately

they go in and out of stock very frequently

[fervent obsidian]

yeah i got mine from walmart like a few days ago

[civic harbor]

And price is weird

[fervent obsidian]

you just gotta pay attention

[lone pond]

ye

i just leave pcpart picker on with auto refresh on 30 mins so it just refreshes for me

[civic harbor]

Probably like $180

[lone pond]

Because they are in high demand and also factories are very far behind on the production.

and shows me whenever 1 is actually available

[plush terrace]

i am willing to spend 1000$ and it is for gaming and video editing

[civic harbor]

Ok i will make build

[plush terrace]

thanks man

[lone pond]

yo someone recommend me a case i need a good airflow case

n0 capp

[fervent obsidian]

budget?

[lone pond]

[wild quest]

So i have a multi-gpu card, right?

I want to know how to get minecraft to run off all its GPUs

[lone pond]

???

you mean you have 2 gpus

???

[wild quest]

No

I have 1 card with more than one GPU on its PCB

[static rock]

what card is it

[lone pond]

i cant help u tbh

idk bout that chief

[wild quest]

Nvidia GRID K1

I managed to get MC to run off only a single gpu

But I want it to run off of all 4

[civic harbor]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GfBL4d
3060 ti
@plush terrace

[wild quest]

Don't ask why I'm trying to run a game off of it

I have lost all sanity at this point

[civic harbor]

Is it an nvidia gpu?

[plush terrace]

thank you soooo much

[lone pond]

No its a Corsair one

[civic harbor]

All good

Ah thanks corsair rx 7950x3

[lone pond]

Yup there ya go

[dark gate]

anyone know fo any 3070 drops happening soon?

[wild quest]

Yes

It is an Nvidia GPU

Oh wait

Whoops

You were asking about somthing else

Were you?

I'm confused now

[vast agate]

Guys I have a special question

Does nvidia fes bring anti static bags?

Or the foam does the job?

[steep fiber]

https://www.newegg.com/powercolor-radeon-rx-5700-xt-axrx-5700xt-8gbd6-wdh-oc/p/N82E16814131757

Anyone have experience with this?

[daring tusk]

@vast agate what? do you mean do they ship in anitstatic bags?

im pretty sure they do

at least most gpus do

[vast agate]

I've seen many FE unboxings, and they do not bring that like dark bag, only the foam.

I'm going to the USA to pick up a 3080 a cousin bought for me (idk how he got it but he did), it was a FE, and due to space, i want to bring it without the box

BUt no box, no anti static foam, and that gets me nervous

[terse bloom]

My friend tried talking me into getting a 3060ti instead of continuing my hunt for a 3080.
The MSI 1080 Gaming X is what I have now, paired with an i9-10850K (basically a 10900K but marginally lower performance, like 5% or so.)

[dark gate]

any tips on geting a 3070

[terse bloom]

If you have a micro center close by, keep checking their website every day.

[lone pond]

Is the rtx 3060 ti gonna run into the same stock issues as the other 30 series cards?

[terse bloom]

Most likely yes

[lone pond]

That’s tuff

[lean flicker]

@dark gate just sit on 3080 nowinstock.com for like 10 hours a day and you’ll eventually catch one in stock

[dark gate]

i have been

[lean flicker]

Use a web monitor

distill web monitors good

[dark gate]

the last time a 3070 came in stock was nov 20

[lean flicker]

or resort to a bot

[opal willow]

any clue when the 3060ti's are gonna drop?

[terse bloom]

Follow Newegg on twitter, set up notifications. They have been selling 3070 bundles.

[lean flicker]

Newegg said they are gonna restock 3070 and 3080s 4pm pst

[terse bloom]

And bundles do NOT show up on nowinstock notifications

[lean flicker]

On insta story

[dark gate]

i tried

none of them showed up as in stock

[warped osprey]

good gpu?

like price 2 performance

[lone pond]

Overpriced.

[warped osprey]

with a 2600x

[lone pond]

Canadian dollars?

[warped osprey]

yes

[lone pond]

Yeah, overpriced.

[warped osprey]

it even shows cdn

what would be a better value?

[terse bloom]

I could always try going to Micro Center now. My local store currently says they have a MSI 3070 Ventus 2X for $539.99, and you'll only have to pay me $600 for it. Why the $60 overcharge? 6% sales tax plus shipping.

[plain nimbus]

best GPU to pair with 3700x for 1440p gaming?
debating on 3060Ti or 3070 - ??

[opal willow]

when is the 3060ti gonna be on stock?

[astral mist]

Will the 6800XT ever exist in this dimension?

[terse bloom]

But I jest. I don't really wanna do that anyway.

[pale knot]

3060 ti or 3070 for 5600x?

[lean flicker]

https://youtu.be/WPfWu0n_y24

[astral mist]

Wait, did nvidia go straight to the Ti version without a base card?

[daring tusk]

yup

[astral mist]

🤨

[lean flicker]

xbox series x instock on newegg at 4:30pm pst

[terse bloom]

Wrong

Xbox series S

They said no series X or PS5

[opal willow]

mhm

[spice prawn]

@astral mist its just a name

[terse bloom]

Couldn't find 5000 series in the AMD processor list, but here's a comparison between 3060ti vs 3070

[spice prawn]

it does not actually "mean" anything special as such

[astral mist]

I know it's just a name, but usually the Ti is a refreshed, mildly higher spec version of that model, no?

[spice prawn]

no, not always

[astral mist]

I guess hardware names have no meaning, really.

[spice prawn]

they effed the whole TI = higher spec thing many many years ago :)

[terse bloom]

Unless Nvidia plans to drop a lower spec card after, and instead of calling it a 3050, they'll call it a 3060.

[spice prawn]

but consumers dont remember that, so yeah, the names dont mean anything as such :)

[astral mist]

Like the 7xx/8xx/9xx/10xx/20xx/30xx thing really didn't feel right

[spice prawn]

what matters is the price and the performance

[astral mist]

I guess the 20xx series is technically a new tech

so it makes sense to mess with the naming scheme

[spice prawn]

they are all new archs

[terse bloom]

But I agree with Naed. Names don't mean much. They're more for a marketing gimmick.

[astral mist]

Well yeah, they're all new architectures, I just mean they introduced RT

[spice prawn]

that is just a side effect of the arch thou :)

[astral mist]

🤷

regardless of what I get, it'll be an upgrade over my 1070

[terse bloom]

For instance, Apple going from iPhone 8 to iPhone X then iPhone 11. Skipping 9. (And originally, I called it iPhone EX instead of 10.)

[astral mist]

Windows 7/8/8.1/10

[warped osprey]

whats the best budget gpu for gaming and streaming to pair with a 2600x

[terse bloom]

Depends on what your budget is?

[warped osprey]

like 290 to 400

Canadian

[spice prawn]

here is something to remember (for both of you): The amount of speculation and free news coverage that the decision for both Apple and MS to not go with a model 9 of their flagship products? can you imagine how much that would have cost them in marketing budget?

[terse bloom]

Well, like I said, Naed, names are more of a marketing gimmick. So I understand, doing such things, creates PR and such.

[spice prawn]

and it also serves as being a "round" number

which juts mentally "feels" nicer to people

as silly as that might sound

[terse bloom]

I mean, heck, even Samsung did the same thing, by going with S20 instead of continuing their earlier practice. Speculations that it was to match the year, 2020 and such.

[astral mist]

Yeah it makes sense, doesn't make it irk me any less though.

[spice prawn]

agreed @astral mist :)

[astral mist]

AMD's naming scheme has been a mess since the after the Radeon HD names

[spice prawn]

meh, yes/no

[astral mist]

I don't even remember what card I had after I upgraded my Radeon HD 6870

[warped osprey]

1650 supers and every 1660, 1660 super and 1660 ti on amazon is out of stock or being sold at ridiculous prices

Speaking of older cards though

[warped osprey]

its the anti-spam function of the bot

@gray osprey good luck, please read the rules

[warped osprey]

lol

[gray osprey]

Sorry

[pale knot]

@spice prawn so a 2 fan will be fine

[astral mist]

Might happen

[glass spruce]

ayo ik yall talking about something but wtf happened to the 3070s i feel like everything else is getting restocked except that

[astral mist]

they're already tripping their own feet

[terse bloom]

They just restocked the 3070s today

[glass spruce]

where?

[dry niche]

huh

wher3e

[terse bloom]

Newegg

[warped osprey]

all the next gen cards are just fecked

[terse bloom]

bundles

[glass spruce]

bruh bundles

[spice prawn]

@warped osprey please dont avoid the filter

[warped osprey]

oops sorry

[terse bloom]

Someone named Hassan just bought a 3070 today off of Newegg

[spice prawn]

i know you have the vocabulary to express yourself just fine without that :)

[dry niche]

what a lucky guy

[glass spruce]

i just need a 3070 for my sisters buikd

[terse bloom]

Keep an eye on Newegg twitter. They announce when they get restocks, but they usually bundle it to avoid bots.

[warped osprey]

tho thats just how i normally say it lol, I'll refrain myself from using bad language

[spice prawn]

please do @warped osprey :)

[astral mist]

Like why did they think it was a good idea to have their CPUs similar numbers to their last gen GPUs?

[warped osprey]

ikr

[glass spruce]

i just want to finish my sisters build

[spice prawn]

there is a fairly logical mental logic behind that @astral mist

[glass spruce]

ive been staring at stock sites

[warped osprey]

"mom i want a 5600xt for christmas" *gets the gpu instead

[astral mist]

2xxx/3xxx/5xxx CPUs and then 5xxx/6xxx GPUs

Not to mention the refreshed chips getting the X and the XT suffix

[glass spruce]

who would trust their mom with that unless their mom works with computers

[spice prawn]

technically, that is named "RX 5600 XT"

[terse bloom]

Do you have a local micro center? If so, I recommend checking their site every morning, hours before they open.. My Micro Center gets 3070 restocks every week, but unfortunately I'm only going for the 3080.

"I got you 5600xt because it had more letters"

asks for 5600x
gets 5600xt

[spice prawn]

well, that is on the person wishing for that

[warped osprey]

"i thought xt meant xtra tough"

[astral mist]

@glass spruce I know better than that since my dad built my first PC with a parts list I hadn't revised yet

[warped osprey]

[astral mist]

Ended up being $500 more expensive with half the perf

[spice prawn]

let me just find that gpu list

[glass spruce]

i go to microcenter but they are cleaned and also their website sucks even from their computers

[terse bloom]

It doesn't sound too different than what happened with Amazon and Xbox One X and Xbox Series X. Lot of people buying the Xbox One X instead of the Series X.

[astral mist]

Honestly i find it so hard to remember what new tech is called because the names are so muddled

[warped osprey]

thats on xbox

[spice prawn]

that is just consumers being consumers and blaming the company for them not actually paying attention @terse bloom

[warped osprey]

Sony's godly naming of numbers

[terse bloom]

I agree, Naed. I don't blame Xbox or MS. I blame consumers for not paying attention.

be warned, that is a VERY long list

and that is the amd/ati cards

[astral mist]

Bro I was looking for this EXACT thing

[glass spruce]

my dad tried to tell me i chose wrong parts for my sisters build, like she isnt running 26000 chrome tabs, and was saying 16 gbs isnt enough

[warped osprey]

i mean old people cant read and non tech savvy parents wont care

[spice prawn]

the list of cards?

https://www.techarp.com/guides/desktop-graphics-card-comparison/6/

thats the site that maintains the lists

https://i0.wp.com/www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/nvidia_968qdjifsklef87hI0xg76eik64eh-4.png

thats the Nvidia one

[astral mist]

I like how Rage mode and the XT suffix are a callback to ATI

Radeon HD is still my favourite series of cards in name alone

[spice prawn]

as for the whole: herp derp, amd might end up calling their cards by models that nvidia used.

technically, nvidia did that first :)

[astral mist]

there's already a 1050 from ATI 🤔

[warped osprey]

e geforce 6800xt

[spice prawn]

x1650 says hello from back in 2007

[terse bloom]

For anyone looking for a 3070, remember to follow Newegg and turn on push notifications, and maybe even SMS notifications.
They had a restock on 3070 yesterday, and today. That's 2 days in a row. But they're bundles, in order to help avoid detections from bots, giving consumers a better chance at buying them instead.

[astral mist]

AHA THERE IT IS

[warped osprey]

before the 6800xt existed

[astral mist]

My old R7 260X

[spice prawn]

basically, as i said a while back, names are just that, names :)

[astral mist]

Man I had two of those

[warped osprey]

what are in the gpu bundles?

[terse bloom]

They're usually paired with RAM, or a PSU. Usually. Sometimes with a mobo.

[warped osprey]

also should i use a b550m with an rx 5500xt paired with a 2600x or should i change something

[spice prawn]

you should double check that the b550m actually supports that 2600x

[warped osprey]

like would i be missing out on performance

wut u mean?

[terse bloom]

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=3070 combo&cm_mmc=snc-twitter-_-pm-restock-_-3070combos-_-na
From Newegg's 3070 bundle restock tweet an hour ago

[astral mist]

2600x is an older zen processor, the b550 is a newer board

[spice prawn]

@warped osprey what exact mainboard model are you looking at?

[warped osprey]

lemme pull it up

this one

[astral mist]

According to AMD's chart the B550 does not support 2000 series

[warped osprey]

hm

[astral mist]

but the x570 does

[warped osprey]

its a bit too expensive unless you know one similar to this b550 price

[spice prawn]

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B550M-PRO-VDH-WIFI#support-cpu <- have a look there @warped osprey

[spice prawn]

technically, its possible, but unlikely to be implemented by a vendor

[warped osprey]

best cheap x570 then?

they're way too expensive for me

[astral mist]

Did you already buy the CPU or is it from a previous build?

[warped osprey]

its just in a list rn

[pale ore]

Cheapest and high end stuff don't go well together

[spice prawn]

then the simplest answer is to upgrade to at least a zen2 chip

[warped osprey]

3100 then?

[astral mist]

You might be better off going with a 3000 series, once boxing day sales are on you might be able to get one for the price of a 2600x

what is your budget for CPU?

[warped osprey]

300cad max

[pale ore]

Id pick the intel 10400f. 6 cores and competes with the 3600 while being cheaper and lots of stock

[warped osprey]

which one is better

[pale ore]

In gaming 10400f

[warped osprey]

like for streaming AND gaming

[spice prawn]

@warped osprey technically, the 3600x is 307 cad

[warped osprey]

lemme see

[spice prawn]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/3WYLrH/amd-ryzen-5-3600x-38-ghz-6-core-processor-100-100000022box

[astral mist]

@warped osprey Memory Express has a bundle with a B550M and a Ryzen 5 3600X for $479.99 CAD

[pale ore]

Out of stock

[astral mist]

will likely drop even more for boxing day

[spice prawn]

and the 3600 (non X) https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/9nm323/amd-ryzen-5-3600-36-thz-6-core-processor-100-100000031box

[spice prawn]

you are just playing the waiting game @warped osprey :)

[warped osprey]

300CAD max budget and im trying to stream and game

[pale ore]

What do you need exactly? Cpu and motherboard?

[astral mist]

Is that just max for CPU? Or CPU and Motherboard

[warped osprey]

cpu for a mobo i have

[astral mist]

Ohhhh

[pale ore]

Whats the motherboard?

[astral mist]

So you have a B550M

[warped osprey]

yea

[pale ore]

[warped osprey]

i forgot to mention that

[spice prawn]

3600 (non X) is the best bet at current prices

[astral mist]

I mean a 3600 is ~$300CAD

[warped osprey]

out of stock for me lmao

[astral mist]

what shops you looking at?

[spice prawn]

aye, and as i said, waiting game :)

[warped osprey]

mainly amazon

[pale ore]

3600 oos everywhere on Canada sites from what i see

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/9nm323/amd-ryzen-5-3600-36-thz-6-core-processor-100-100000031box

[warped osprey]

oos?

[pale ore]

Out of stock = oos

[astral mist]

Hell, there's even a 3600XT for $320

[pale ore]

320 over 300

[astral mist]

Yeah :/

[pale ore]

Id return the board and go intel path

[spice prawn]

no

just no

[warped osprey]

i regret getting a b550m

[pale ore]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DbrXjp

[astral mist]

Hey now, I just picked one up

[spice prawn]

at least on the amd side he has the guaranteed upgrade path of the 5000 series @pale ore

no guarantee on the intel side of anything

[pale ore]

If he needs one now, Does it look like theres any stock?

[spice prawn]

again, waiting game

[pale ore]

I guess he's on the waiting game then

[warped osprey]

i can wait i guess

[spice prawn]

personally, i would say the wait is worth NOT ending up without a upgrade path

[warped osprey]

wut

[spice prawn]

wrong wording :)

[warped osprey]

the main idea for my build is to upgrade later on

[spice prawn]

aye

[pale ore]

Then id wait

[spice prawn]

which is what you have the option for on the amd side of things

[pale ore]

Higher budget too maybe in the future

[warped osprey]

ye

I'll try and see if i can push my budget to 2000

but rn its 1500

or maybe 1600

[pale ore]

manufactures rn be like

[warped osprey]

when every part in your list is in stock at the same time

[astral mist]

😂 😂

when you invested in AMD and made enough off of their increase to buy a new PC and everything's out of stock

[lone pond]

anybody know what time rtx3060ti droppin

[inner island]

If there is someone live around Vancouver Canada and looking for 3060Ti tmr, I have some good news for you

[astral mist]

hol up, lemme drive 8 hours real quick

[inner island]

I saw Memory Express in Burnaby is receiving a whole box of MSI 3060Ti Gaming X Trio this afternoon

[wide mesa]

Is a 570 worth it? but ill upgrade later on next year near like feb

[austere minnow]

Lol memory express

Heck yeah

[wide mesa]

Its 200 for a 570 8gb

[lone pond]

but like is it 6 am pst like last time

[warped osprey]

whats the Canadian version of micro center

[astral mist]

Memory Express I guess?

they're the only place I see in Alberta and they have a lot of locations in other provinces

[warped osprey]

is Ontario there?

[inner island]

I think its Memory Express and Canada Computers

[warped osprey]

ive heard of canada computers

[inner island]

If you looking for 3080 or 3070, especially EVGA ones, go for Canada Computers

they constantly have at least 10 cards coming in every week

[warped osprey]

isn't their pricing wack tho?

[astral mist]

Hamilton, London, Ottowa

[wide mesa]

Whats a good GPU under 240?

[inner island]

XC3 is close to msrp, FTW3 is $1100 CAD

[astral mist]

I don't know anything about Canada Computers

[inner island]

so similar price everywhere I guess

[warped osprey]

1650 super

maybe a 1660

[wide mesa]

So 1650 super but ill be changing it to a 1660 next year in feb

[warped osprey]

or just wait and get a 1660

[wide mesa]

I dont see any 1660 in that price range

[warped osprey]

ive seen some but then went way up in price when i checked just now

im trying to compare to American pricing

[wide mesa]

yea i saw one but since black Friday the price went up so damn high

[warped osprey]

ikr

[slate hedge]

ive been trying to buy a 2060 since black friday and cant find one in stock

[warped osprey]

good luck

[inner island]

yeah all the big retailers in Canada only left with 1650 super or 1650 on the shelves

[wide mesa]

So do you think i get 1650 super for Chris and then on my bday thats on feb-17 i get a 1600?

[inner island]

rest of them are all sold out

[warped osprey]

at least 1650 super is better than rx 5500 xt lmao

[wide mesa]

So im get that and then for my bday ill get the 1660 and sell the 1650 super to a store ik that will take it

[hazy valley]

Oooo

[warped osprey]

on ur b day get a 1660 ti or super

its way more worth it

[wide mesa]

Alright thanks for helping me a bit CyroVR

[warped osprey]

also what cpu u got? or gonna get

[wide mesa]

Ryzen 5 2600 Gonna upgrade later on

[warped osprey]

no prob btw

stick with that

[wide mesa]

Alright

[warped osprey]

its good

tho if u get a newer gpu like a 3000 or 6000 gpu upgrade ur cpu

[wide mesa]

Thanks, im actually new to pc and stuff, and i just order my parts and 5 came in last week and just order my cpu and now im gonna order my Mother board and GPu been saving up since October, and like i said again thanks for the help you gave me

[warped osprey]

dont get a b550

b450 or x470

[slate hedge]

theres a 2060 in ottawa but thats like a 7hr drive for me 😭

[warped osprey]

u wont need the newer ones

[wide mesa]

Its a B450

[warped osprey]

good

[wide mesa]

Look,

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FWVJSHC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A18SVRGUWU6QG6&psc=1

or

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KWMXGQW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A18SVRGUWU6QG6&th=1

[warped osprey]

get the v2

[wide mesa]

Alright

[warped osprey]

the first one kinda sucked imo

what's the ram u getting?

3200 or 3600mhz cl16/cl18 would benefit your ryzen cpu

3600mhz cl16 is a bit pricy tho

[wide mesa]

My ram is a 16GB

[warped osprey]

clock and timings?

[wide mesa]

Hold on let me check

3000MHZ C16

2 sticks

[warped osprey]

try and upgrade that to 3200mhz cl16

your cpu will be happy

[wide mesa]

Alright thanks

[warped osprey]

happy to help

[slate hedge]

do u know how long it might take for a 2060 to be in stock

its like the only thing i need

[warped osprey]

you're actually the first person i helped successfully lol

[wide mesa]

Well your doing an great job

[warped osprey]

thank u

[wide mesa]

Well thanks for the help, also cant wait to build my first pc this month

Gonna order does 2 parts and im done with everything

[high granite]

rx 5600 xt worth $320?

[warped osprey]

depends tbh

[high granite]

depends on what?

[civic harbor]

Eh i think you should wait and see if some prices drop or even better Nvidia makes a 3050/ti ( I know it hasnt been confirmed, leaked, or rumored.)

[fervent obsidian]

5600xt msrp is 280 so eh

[naive temple]

It really is incredible how fast bots can grab cards

I mean I have my own crawler watching newegg combos, I was nearby with a response time of ~30s and when I hit add to cart boom already gone.

[hazy valley]

That's unfortunate

[high granite]

what about $300 for a gigabyte rx 5600 xt?

[naive temple]

I wouldnt really recomment the 5600xt unless you really have a tight budget

[solar sierra]

Get the 5700 xt it’s acceptable

I had it before and it was good but I upgrade to 3070

[naive temple]

Just avoid the asus 5700xt some of them have bad heatsink contact. all the rest of the AIBS are great

[fervent obsidian]

5600xt is okay but you can get it for under 300 usually

and what is the overall budget of the pc pkeaty, if you're building a new one

[little crow]

you think rtx 2060 will go down in price next year

[high granite]

like $900

@fervent obsidian

[hardy wind]

i dont think the 2060 will go down too much

[slim dawn]

Is there a list of best / worst board partners for the 3060-3090

[tribal delta]

Where do we see announcements from NewEgg when 3080 are coming into stock? is that such a thing? is there any hope for 2020?

[radiant tinsel]

Just got my rx5700 asus dual and I’m getting tempts around 70-80, just wondering if that’s normal or I should start buying more fans xD

[solar sierra]

prob normal or a little high'

[glass spruce]

is the 3060 ti gonna be on new egg tomorrow?

[little crow]

I can get one for maybe 400$

2060

[steel smelt]

Super pissed that all these cards that were on a sale over the past week we're all "sold out" but have popped up plenty today. The day after all the sales are over, how convenient for Newegg :/

[steel smelt]

6am PT, 9am EST I believe

[fathom bear]

They don't need to put gpus on sale

They will sell

[steel smelt]

I know, but it is kind of crappy that the post them as holiday sales then hold back the amount being sold. Only to throw them up . more in a day than they were in a week.

[fathom bear]

They wanted you to buy their prebuilts

You won't buy a prebuilt if there's gpus in stock

@glass spruce Suggest you also check out EVGA's queue system

If they haven't already started

[steel smelt]

I guess. But was able to get a couple 5600 xt at MSRP, one with $10 off thanks to eBay coupon I used on the Newegg store

[glass spruce]

okay ty ty

[fathom bear]

That's actually good to hear

@glass spruce Also if you really want one microcenter is your best bet

[glass spruce]

i would have to go line up rn then

[fathom bear]

Just go tomorrow morning after the launch

They had lots of 3070s left over

That's how I got one

[glass spruce]

oh geez ill try that ig

[fathom bear]

Yeah. I mean you should still try newegg etc.

[glass spruce]

lmao

[fathom bear]

Definitely go to microcenter too

lol

[steel smelt]

I'm so jelly of people by a microcenter. They are so few and far between.

[glass spruce]

im gonna see with my sister

[fathom bear]

I have one 30 mins away and it's a godsend

[wide mesa]

Very lucky

[glass spruce]

mine is like 20 min by car and like 30-40 by transit

[wide mesa]

Very lucky

[high granite]

I don’t like the people who buy multiple gpu’s bc now i can’t get one

[lone pond]

hai guys how much time is left in rtx 3060 ti release?

[fathom bear]

Blame Covid, not people buying multiple gpus

[wide mesa]

yep

[high granite]

the guy above just said he bought a couple gpu’s

[fathom bear]

So? Miners were buying them by the hundreds a few years ago

[astral mist]

Supply chain destroyed because of manufacturing disruption

[fathom bear]

Still are to some extent

[astral mist]

because covid shut down the world

[steel smelt]

I bought 2 5600xt. One for me and one for my brother

[fathom bear]

Plus the amd cards are really the only ones still being produced

[astral mist]

Not to mention more people are building PCs than they ever have before

[high granite]

i was just playing with ya i am just a little bit salty

[astral mist]

Everyone being stuck at home, not being able to travel ended up with many more people picking up gaming. That multiplied the effect of the manufacturing being halted. There was reportedly 10 times more demand than expected.

[steel smelt]

No worries mate. If you're looking for something that isn't a new gen card set up auto notify on Newegg. There is the ASRock 5600 xt for sale right now at MSRP of 319.99. if you download the eBay app you get a $10 off coupon, and Newegg have a eBay store. So you can get $10 off

[high granite]

thanks man i’ll consider it

since you have a 5600 xt how is it?

[buoyant stone]

Any release time on the 3060ti?

[sinful crater]

@buoyant stone sold out

[buoyant stone]

Thought they were released tomorrow

[dusk oasis]

when does 3060ti will appear in newegg like no release time ,
like when i can see it

[burnt parcel]

probably 9am est

but they usually dont show until like 20 mins later and they are all sold out

[scenic bay]

^yeah newegg confirmed 6am PT/ 9am ET

[unique turtle]

Would a 3060 ti destroy my 1080 ftw? What is msrp

[undone slate]

Would you recommend getting a PNY or a Zotac gpu??

[dusk oasis]

Would a 3060 ti destroy my 1080 ftw? What is msrp
@unique turtle yes

Would you recommend getting a PNY or a Zotac gpu??
@undone slate were i live zotac’s gpus are cheaper and i think they are better

[undone slate]

My friend keeps telling me to avoid them but idrk the difference

[dusk oasis]

All OEM are pretty much the same in performance so pick the one you like more

[spice prawn]

they are just a OEM

[high granite]

is the ASRock Radeon RX 5500 XT 8 GB Challenger D OC a good card for a budget build?

[candid geyser]

any tips for the 3060ti drop tomorrow?

[neon peak]

wait for everyone to sell off their 2080 Supers :3

[dusk oasis]

any tips for the 3060ti drop tomorrow?
@candid geyser i think 3060ti is exclusively for bots

[neon peak]

and get a 2080S for dirt cheap

👌

[thin trout]

Hey fellas, I'm looking to catch a 3060 tomorrow, but I'm new to these frantic gambles. Is there anything I need to know in order to maximize my chances of getting one? Any news outlets or accounts to follow for when listings go live? (I've already made NewEgg, Best Buy, and Amazon accounts with my card info pre-registered)

[dawn plover]

code a bot to get it for you

actually

multiple bots

[thin trout]

uh

I don't think my knowledge of Scratch will be sufficient

[dawn plover]

same, scratch was only useful to play fnaf with the school computers

well i mean just be early, heard some guy at best buy put the 30 series cards like a few minutes iirc, or even hours, before they had officially launched and ppl snagged them

not sure if it was just reddit doing their lying for karma thing but oh well

[thin trout]

Do you know what time I should expect most of the listings? I know Newegg goes up around 6 PST, but what about the other sites like Best Buy?

[rich oasis]

probably lying for karma

I don't think you could be able to buy the card before the launch

and there isn't even a bu8y button

[thin trout]

Sounds about right

[lone pond]

I have a 650 watt psu will I need a bigger one for 3060 ti

Also how much will the 3060 cost

[remote cargo]

you shouldn’t need a bigger psu

3060 might cost around 300-350 ish usd

[lone pond]

That's it isnt that the cost of a 2060?

[spice prawn]

300 usd is msrp of the 2060.

[burnt parcel]

https://www.zotacstore.com/us/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-3080-amp-holo-zt-a30800f-10p

yall think i need a support bracket?

[neon peak]

Anyone know if P106 passthrough works on an OEM Haswell mobo (Optiplex 3020 OEM mobo, specifically)?

[lone pond]

What power supply are you using? The Dell OEM PSU?

[neon peak]

yes, the P106 is slightly higher power draw than the 1050ti but less than a 1060, and it's an MT so I can swap out the PSU

[lone pond]

should work.. assuming you're mining.

[neon peak]

talking about using the P106 as a gaming card, the P106 passthrough hack uses a CPU with an iGPU as a workaround for the lack of standard display output

What's known is it does not work on any intel sockets before Haswell, does not work on any ASUS boards whatsoever

That said, what I've been wondering for a very long time is, would the passthrough work on a Haswell OEM board?

[crimson dagger]

Newegg gonna have more 3070/3080/6800 at 7pm est according to Twitter

[lone pond]

sounds interesting.. Hope you find an answer. Worst case. dive in and test it out yourself.

[neon peak]

Which is what I'm going to do in the next month or so

[tribal hedge]

Ok weird question but

Is the 3090 Xtreme a good value card for just $300 off MSRP?

[fluid star]

[terse bloom]

This is comparing my own 1080, but I think most 1080 would perform very similarly to each other.
So 3060ti VS 1080
As you can see, 3060ti will have a 20% to 25% boost to Framerate, on average. Or up to 30 FPS more.

[naive temple]

I'm really tempted to get one rather then wait for 3080 supply

My 1080 is a lemon of a card and I dont want to deal with its issues when playing cp2077

[tribal hedge]

You’re probably gonna be gaming for 1080 and 1440p right?

[naive temple]

1440p yeah, 3060ti seems a good performer at that resolution

[tribal hedge]

I assume mid-to-high settings right?

Because since the 3070 is basically just a 3060ti with a bit more pep, it’d still work great for Mid-RTX performance and carry plain ol’ Rast.

[naive temple]

I'll be sticking with rast, raytracing is pretty but I like mah frames better

heh

[tribal hedge]

Yeah the 3060ti/3070 will do you just fine

[naive temple]

For that reason I really wanted the 6800xt but honestly with overloaded 7nm process no way I'm going to get one

Most of the silicon is likely going to ps5

[tribal hedge]

Tragic

[tribal hedge]

Some news got leaked that apparently the Radeon GPU’s are the lowest of AMD’s priorities

So I think it goes

Consoles
CPU’s
Actual reference GPU’s and AIB models

[naive temple]

Not surprised by that, they likely have a contract to fill those PS5 orders first

yeah

[terse bloom]

PS5 and Xbox Series S/X

Pretty sure the new Xbox uses AMD graphics too

[dense flame]

amd graphics are the best graphics

[naive temple]

I'm not a console person, but I liked calling the previous gen the xbone

[dense flame]

what does that mean

[naive temple]

x bone

[terse bloom]

Xbox One.. Xbone.. It's a nickname.

[dense flame]

oh I see

I just play on pc or rarely on my ps4

[unborn sedge]

I'm on the line about trying to get a 3060 Ti later today. I'm planning to upgrade my VR headset from Rift S to DecaGear next year, so I'll def need a performance bump since my 1660S barely runs some games at low graphics.

[terse bloom]

Like when people call someone named Richard, Rich or Dick.. Or Angelina as Angie.

[dense flame]

I wanted to get a 3080 and I don't mind waiting

[unborn sedge]

I'm super low on budget, probably 450€ max I can spend before buying my new headset.

[dense flame]

Are there any stock updates for 30 series

It may be a unpopular opinion, but I thing consoles are a waste of money when you have a good PC.

[tribal hedge]

Oh they finally announced when the 3060ti is releasing

9am EST

[unborn sedge]

Would it be wise to buy a 3060ti today?

Yeah it's in three hours and 20 min for me.

[tribal hedge]

Probably, before you’re stuck waiting into January like the rest of us

[dense flame]

I agree tbh

[tribal hedge]

Isn’t TSMC’s 7nm products going to spike from 8-41% in Q1 of 2021 because of massive layoffs?

[unborn sedge]

I'll def need to upgrade before May 2021 because I'll be getting a DecaGear which needs more performance than my current Rift S.

Is it worth getting a 3060Ti now or wiser to wait until right before I get the new headset?

[dense flame]

lol I bet 3060 Ti won't be in stock at all

[naive temple]

Insert aaaannndddd its gone meme

lol

[unborn sedge]

Currently Alyx barely runs on my 1660S, and even Beat Saber lags at medium settings if I try record it.

[tribal hedge]

I think stock availability will go from Most to Least

3060ti/3070
3090
3080 (oddly enough)

You’ll be better off trying to get one of the 8gb cards

[naive temple]

Beat saber is pretty much the only reason I want a headset. I love the different variations of it

[dense flame]

aw I hope it was going to be reversed

[unborn sedge]

3060Ti has 8GB no?

[tribal hedge]

Same as 3070

So yep

Even the bus is the same

[terse bloom]

Yes, according to the pic screenshot I just posted, comparing 3 of the 30series

[tribal hedge]

Oh i should mention

3080ti reappeared a few days ago

[dense flame]

Could a 3070 get to 240 fps or above cuz I have a 240 hz monitor

[tribal hedge]

Kopite7kimi said it “survived the slaughter” meaning a few ti models were cancelled

[tribal hedge]

If you cranked down settings, maybe

[terse bloom]

If you're aiming for 240 FPS, you might want to lower your settings then.

[unborn sedge]

Alright I'll go for a 3060Ti FE.

Do we know how the launch will happen/what to do when spamming F5 on the NVIDIA page?

[dense flame]

I wanted to get a 3080 cuz I wanted 240 fps and some quality aswell, but I guess quality's gotta go

[tribal hedge]

Praise the F5

They’re not selling FE cards if I’m right

[terse bloom]

Newegg? Probably not.

[tribal hedge]

You have to go to Best Buy, MicroCenter etc.

[terse bloom]

They haven't sold any of the last FEs, so no reason to believe they will now.

[dense flame]

I live in the eu ;-;

[unborn sedge]

I live in France. I believe one website has exclusivity of FEs.

[tribal hedge]

Bro I literally just want a 3080ti

It’s performance doesn’t need to be cracked out, just 20gb of VRAM will make me happy for 4-6 years

[terse bloom]

I'll just be happy with a 3080. Double the performance of my 1080.

[unborn sedge]

LDLC apparently, but I can't find a link to a listing in LDLC. Do I need to be refreshing the NVIDIA page or..?

[dense flame]

yeah 3080 is something I want aswell, but I doubt I'll be able to get one for a good price

[tribal hedge]

10gb of VRAM is already getting very close to its limits with CODCW

[terse bloom]

I can wait. I have a Micro Center less than 10 miles from me. So quick 20 minute drive. The question is if and when they get them in stock.

[dense flame]

The question is how long will I have to wait

[tribal hedge]

Oh then uh I’ve got some decent news

CPU’s and 3070’s are becoming rapidly more available, so the 3080’s will follow soon enough

[dense flame]

what if there's more 3080 stock but they're all still like 800 euros

[terse bloom]

Maybe. I've been checking Micro Center in at least 5 different locations, MI, NY, NJ, PA. It's usually 3090 or 3070 being restocked.

I've even started checking the 3 locations in OH as well.

[tribal hedge]

I have 0 idea why the 3080 is the hardest to find

Especially since getting silicon that bins well enough for a 3090 type card is hard, yet they’re right behind the 3070 in restocking rates

[terse bloom]

I have friends in different states, and I've told them, if I see one in stock, I'll message them, and send them 1000 USD to pay for it, cover the price of shipping, and their time and gas and appreciation for helping me.

[naive temple]

Better to pay your friends then a scalper

[lone pond]

i wouldnt look at the averages on that

[terse bloom]

I will not, however, pay a scalper using a bot.

[dense flame]

3060 and 3070 are like low to mid tier cards, which are what the masses will likely buy and 3090 is just cuz it's expensive asf

[lone pond]

it accounts for alot of games

i'd assume Doom eternal is included

which would heavily increase the average across them

[dense flame]

also cryptominers

[lone pond]

Nobody will buy 3060 ti or 3070 for mining\

Ever

maybe when its like 300 used but still

[dense flame]

I heard 3060 was good for mining

[lone pond]

Only new gen card good for mining is the 3080

Its not

The ram is same spec as 5700 xt last i checked

with higher wattage i believe

[tribal hedge]

3080/3090 are best for mining right?

[lone pond]

3090 is horrible for mining

too large of an ROI time

and only 10 a month over the 3080

[terse bloom]

Is this better?

[lone pond]

Yeah

thats good

i just dont like averages

because you should be looking at games you're gonna play

only 60 frames on 1080 flight sim?

with 3080

uh

ok

[tribal hedge]

I like how the one complaint that constantly haunts the lower tiered Ampere cards is “VRAM problems”

[lone pond]

What about VRAM

[tribal hedge]

Especially the 3080 and 3070. 4K and 1440p intended cards that are already meeting their limits or approaching them

[lone pond]

Ah

[tribal hedge]

Not enough for long term use, from what I can see

[lone pond]

they need to make it so you can solder on more ram already

Hell i could put 12 2G vram chips on a 2080 ti PCB and flash a titan bios

might work

might not

theres just an empty slot on the 2080 ti

11 1G

[tribal hedge]

The 3080 on its way to hit the 95% VRAM usage with Cold War

[lone pond]

Nvidia is making a SAM equivalent last i checked

so it shouldn't matter

[tribal hedge]

With AMD’s help oddly enough

[terse bloom]

For those who play on a 1440p (or 2K) monitor

[lone pond]

you mean CPUs or are they actually helping

[dense flame]

I think SAM is just not something strictly to amd itself

[lone pond]

for AMD cards it is

when it comes to nvidia cards its gonna work with intel and amd

[tribal hedge]

Nvidia is getting help from Zen
Intel is getting help from Radeon

[lone pond]

Hopefully on b350 board

[tribal hedge]

That’s what I’ve heard

[lone pond]

I really don't want to upgrade

until nexty year

[dense flame]

damn can you imagine dlss and sam on nvidia cards

[lone pond]

SAM on nvidia cards would be a miners dream

the MH/s would be crazy

[tribal hedge]

sam is weird imo.

In some cases it helps A LOT

[lone pond]

AMD cards got a 20MH/s increase with SAM

[tribal hedge]

In others it’s so minor, why even bother

[lone pond]

it helps with the amount of VRAM used no?

[tribal hedge]

I dunno, no ones really mentioned it tbh

[lone pond]

i'd assume it does

[dense flame]

I mean any extra performance is good

[tribal hedge]

Isn’t it the CPU borrowing VRAM?

Or the other way around?

[lone pond]

No

neither

it allows the CPU to access more of it

eliminating Bottleneck

any performance increase is just getting rid of bottleneck

[tribal hedge]

If Nvidia gets a BAR why does the 3090 even exist other then VR then?

[lone pond]

BAR?

[tribal hedge]

SAM is technically a BAR

It’s a whole heap of VERY confusing stuff that just shortens into “good performance, we like it”

[lone pond]

i was planning on building a 3080 mining rig

im gonna love bar

if its anything like SAM

[tribal hedge]

If 3080ti doesn’t happen, might just bite the bullet on a 3090 Xtreme

[dreamy dragon]

Takabreaka#9123 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[terse bloom]

Whoops. Said the S word. But ya. Basically, Micro Center will be selling 3060ti FE

And I only said the S word in a "Well, I'm shocked" kind of way.

But damn.

ASUS 3060ti STRIX price, 499.99

MSI Gaming X Trio 3060ti, 489.99

[lone pond]

Gaming X trio and strix is always like 90-100$ over

strix sometimes 200 lol

[terse bloom]

True, but it's entering 3070 price rance is what I meant.

But yeah, checked like 7 different Micro Center stores. 6 of them will be carrying 25+ of the 3060ti FE. Some of them will be carrying 20 of the MSI Gaming X Trio, 20 of the EVGA FTW Ultra, 20 of the ASUS Dual, and/or 20 of the MSI Ventus 2X

Just from what I can tell, they're gonna carry at least 60+ per store. Only 1 store showed no stock from my list, Sharonville, OH.

Anyway. I don't think there's gonna be any shortage of 3060ti in the US today. I mean, my local Micro Center alone, if their website can be trusted, is saying they're carrying 140+ units of 3060ti

[sullen vector]

Everyone’s probably waiting for the 3060ti hoping it doesn’t sell out before they buy it

Lol

[terse bloom]

Well, if they're in the US, and east of the Mississippi River, I recommend going to the nearest Micro Center if they want a 3060ti. I've checked 10 stores on their websites, and they've got loads.

[sullen vector]

Rlly?

Is it the fe thoigh

Cause I’m tryna get the rog one

[terse bloom]

Each store that I checked, says they have 25+ FE

[sullen vector]

K

I don’t have micro center near me

Well I do but it’s 2 hr away

[terse bloom]

My local store, has 6 ASUS 3060ti ROG STRIX in stock according to their website

[sullen vector]

Does it say the price?

[terse bloom]

499.99

USD

[sullen vector]

Cause for the 3070 the price was $680 for the rog one

[terse bloom]

Yeah, STRIX has always been ASUS's high end model, so you can always expect it to be 100 to 300 more.

[sullen vector]

Wel that sucks

I was going for an Asus build

[terse bloom]

What about these?

https://www.microcenter.com/product/631469/asus-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-tuf-gaming-overclocked-dual-fan-8gb-gddr6-pcie-40-graphics-card

[sullen vector]

I was doing all rog so it doesn’t fit

I went over budget

And I’m only buying this cause it’s only $30 more than my original

Should I buy the founders editon?

[terse bloom]

Yeah. ROG, you can expect them to be be upcharge a premium for brand name recognition and "higher end" products.

[sullen vector]

Should I buy the founders editon?

[terse bloom]

If you're getting a 3060ti, don't see why not. They will all "mostly work the same", as in very marginal difference in performance.

[sullen vector]

Is it just looks then?

That I’m paying more fore

[terse bloom]

Mostly. Looks, and cooling/fan solution.

[potent lichen]

anyone know when a 2060 coming in stock or alternatives

[sullen vector]

I was gonna get the 2060

Now I’m getting the 3060yi

To

Ti

[potent lichen]

do u know alternatives cuz I can't find one

[sullen vector]

I would do the 3060 ti if you don’t mind spending another $30
