i want newegg to start selling pictures of cards to scalpers
#graphics-cards
timid willow
twin tundra
yea, sounds good
crystal lark
with tax its 1150
crystal lark
ahhh
twin tundra
but I need 2
crystal lark
i thought tax in
crystal lark
i think i will pay 1250 tax in
the time we waste looking for cards is worth more than $100 - $200 honestly
lyric shard
all i know is Ebay and Paypal LOOOOVE the scalpers
crystal lark
i almost created a fake ebay account to outbid every single card.
just did not have enough time
lyric shard
i had to pull my 3090 off ebay.. they take 10% of the total sell as their fee.. and paypall has their fee.. they are making a killing
lyric shard
yeah
crystal lark
cannot u return it?
twin tundra
XD
lyric shard
i have it listed on facebook for 1750,, yeah, i've already submitted the return.. have until Jan
timid willow
why return it when you can get more by casually mentioning you have one for sale on the newegg discord
lyric shard
welll, yeah lol
crystal lark
ah
timid willow
wait did you say canadian
lyric shard
$
crystal lark
USD
lyric shard
USD
crystal lark
if its CAD he would have received a payment from me already
lyric shard
lol
timid willow
if it was canadian i could see that much
timid willow
i can't honestly fathom spending like 4000 total on a rig even in the professional market
lyric shard
I have people trying to get me to mail it... not unless i have insurance on it.. i'll
that is why i'm not keeping it
timid willow
just some gentle scalping
crystal lark
I spent more on mine
lyric shard
had a bunch of friends on discord trying to get one for 2 of them.. turns out both decided they didnt want it so i got stuck with it
crystal lark
custom water cooling, good hardware, good monitors = $$$
timid willow
you should ebay the box it came in
lyric shard
i think a few bucks for delivering it is fair lol.. i do have a guy that offered 1650, which is 25$ over retail.. so i may give it to him vs returning it
nah, like i originally said.. ebay is the reason why the prices are jacked up
crystal lark
well the 3090s are a lot more available
lyric shard
that too
timid willow
i blame the people BUYING from scalpers
crystal lark
well some scalpers had their cards listed for over 6 weeks
timid willow
if more of them lose money in bad deals less people will do it with the 4000 series cards
crystal lark
no one bought their stuff
lyric shard
ebay takes 10%.. so at 1625 after taxes, you have to jump the price up another 163 to break even.. then paypal grabs their fee.. its just not worth it
crystal lark
forgot ebay
lyric shard
then shipping
crystal lark
sell it locally
lyric shard
yeah man.. that is 10%
crystal lark
fb, etc
lyric shard
that is why i took it off ebay.. cancelled it and put it on facebook
crystal lark
yup
crystal lark
10% is scalpers
lyric shard
its really bad,... think about how much money ebay is making
they are laughing at everyone
crystal lark
10% on every order of every person
lyric shard
yes
crystal lark
its a joke
timid willow
50 dollars for every picture of a graphics card sold
lyric shard
10% doesnt' really sound like much if your selling your dads old monitor for 50 bucks
vagrant gate
just slap a 3090 sticker on your case
lyric shard
man..
lyric shard
see, i forgot this when i origijnally put it up.. then realized after the first guy bid i was going to take it in the shorts... so i said sorry to the guy and removed it
crystal lark
i know what to do with scalpers: buy the card, let the guy deliver it....and claim it never arrived lol
and get a refund
lyric shard
right
crystal lark
meanwhile....400 FPS on DOOM
lyric shard
lol
crystal lark
and $1700 from Scalper-Bay
lyric shard
10 years later, it pays for itself with mined bitcoin
vagrant gate
i wonder if you could run doom off just the graphics card yet
timid willow
8k monitor, 3090, 5950x
playing neoscavenger
vagrant gate
can it run on only gpu
lyric shard
only if its connected to a potato
vagrant gate
oh yeah forgot about the potato as powersupply
lyric shard
😄
crystal lark
am out guys GN
brittle field
Is a reasonable time to replace a card, when the new card is 100% better? Or do you guys usually wait even more time? (or less)
lyric shard
i have a 1080TI which is a damn fine card.. and i'm ready to upgrade... for me its about value
and what i can afford
lyric shard
i can sell my 1080TI for almost half of what the 3080 is going to cost me.. for now anyway.. that will change
lol.. depends on what your integrated graphics are.. Vega 11 is pretty damn good 😄
Space, what card do you have
vagrant gate
mine doesnt have a brand name
brittle field
My current card is a Sapphire Tri-X R9 290. But I honestly only recently decided to start searching for a new card, because games have been starting to claim the card isn't recognized.
timber edge
depends if you need to replace or not like what you're trying to do w/ your pc
lyric shard
decent still.. but yes, to me, i would upgrade it and hand it over to a less fortunate gaming friend 🙂 or sell it to cut out some of that transitional price
vagrant gate
might wanna upgrade at this point
timber edge
but that sounds tough definitely would replace asap
lyric shard
you are talking about a 200 plus % upgrade i would guess 😄
but, also, may require a cpu/mobo update or you may bottleneck there
timid willow
@brittle field a reasonable time would be whenever you upgrade your cpu
cpu x gpu bottlenecks are a thing
vagrant gate
my computer is made in a way that i gotta get a whole new one to so im gonna be stuck here for a while tho
lyric shard
true.. you may have to do both to take adv.. but depends on what cpu you have
what cpu?
6700K or better would still be viable i would think
brittle field
I upgraded my CPU last year. 😄 to the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X processor
lyric shard
ahh. yeah, you should be fine
timid willow
whats your gpu currently
lyric shard
not the X?
brittle field
Sapphire Tri-X
Not X
I recently paid $300 for a new card, but I'm actually hesitating to keep it.
Due to the promotion codes running out of stock before the purchase.
lyric shard
oh damn
vagrant gate
rule 9
untold mirage
lyric shard
avg benchmark 210% increase
brittle field
$300, 5600 XT.
lyric shard
from 290 to 3800
brittle field
it has around a 200% increase
vagrant gate
you should
lyric shard
i originally guessed, but i nailed it
timid willow
im not super familiar with the r9 290 but an 11% bottleneckfrom your graphics cad being too weak is what im seeing on a calculator
which isnt like the worst
brittle field
Yeah, I'm not noticing the bottleneck yet
lyric shard
your bottleneck is the GPU
timid willow
i have an i3-6100 with a 1070ti now thats a bottleneck
vagrant gate
space is the upgrade you are planning inside your budget
brittle field
I've seen screen tearing in the past.
lyric shard
you would see a huge increase with a 3060TI which is 399
brittle field
My budget allowed for the 5600 XT, but all the better Black Friday deals were already sold out.
lyric shard
lucky you didnt get it
vagrant gate
wym didnt
lyric shard
no offense to the 5600xt howners 😄
owners
don't buy anything new right now that isn't a 3000 series or 6000 series AMD
brittle field
Though I didn't get the promo. (I did get the card. Just I'm currently planning a possible return)
timid willow
twin tundra
what site is this?
vagrant gate
yeah id also like to test mine
twin tundra
I have a 4790k running at 4.5ghz
timid willow
twin tundra
still running good for a 10 year old cpu
timid willow
keep in mind sites like these are not perfect
but they give you a rough idea
bench marking sites can have some pretty flawed methods
timid willow
i was a fool who thought i had at least quad core because it was build 6 years after i had gotten a quad core pc from a staples
vagrant gate
maybe its time to upgrade
lyric shard
brittle field
For my actual setup: "Average bottleneck percentage: 12.68% (GPU bottleneck)"
lyric shard
so, did the calc with your CPU and a 3070.. the GPU is 1.34% bottleneck, so your CPU is right on
brittle field
I honestly probably bought the wrong motherboard. Since I didn't talk with anyone that knew anything, before the purchase.
lyric shard
move that to a 3080 and it switches to your CPU as the bottleneck but only at .52%.. sounds like a perfect match
timid willow
lyric shard
what motherboard did youget?
brittle field
Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE
timid willow
yeah anything under 10% is considered good and under 5% is pretty great
timid willow
you'll have some variances between chips and stuff too so you can't really 100% expect a .52%
lyric shard
true, but it tells you that its a good pairing
brittle field
Honestly, my current issue is probably my power supply.
timid willow
a lot of other factors too like your read/write speeds will affect your fps
lyric shard
so, to answer your original question.. yes, you should upgrade to a 3080... or 3070 if the price fits you better
brittle field
I'm getting super strange capacitor charge issues.
lyric shard
doubt it
timid willow
3060ti is comparable to the 3080 isnt it
lyric shard
what power supply do you have
vagrant gate
okay i found it
timid willow
some of those might even be in stock
lyric shard
3060TI is basically a 3070
lyric shard
you on a laptop?
lyric shard
ahh
brittle field
I have a Corsair 850W Power Supply. I believe it is an HX model.
brittle field
Currently 6 years old.
vagrant gate
yeah
lyric shard
its fine
brittle field
still under warranty
vagrant gate
im just gonna go wait until i can build a new one or have a new one built
lyric shard
yeah, i have like 8 computers around the house and all have old PS's in them
brittle field
I have the issue right now, where I cannot boot my computer, without unplugging the computer first.
vagrant gate
no at least i dont know if it does
brittle field
Since the power supply or motherboard, isn't discharging.
lyric shard
hmm.. may be a power supply issue.. but you could get a 700 vs having to go 850w
brittle field
Like... looking into the side of my case while the computer is off, I see one of the RGB components still lit up.
lyric shard
that could be a bios setting
vagrant gate
no no it does not
gusty cave
5500xt 100fps 1080 low settings?
lyric shard
what CPU do you ahve guy?
brittle field
With my old motherboard, I never had this issue. lol
gusty cave
5600x @lyric shard
brittle field
But I did replace both the motherboard and CPU recently. lol
gusty cave
Temporary gpu till I can get a 3080 @lyric shard
vagrant gate
just gonna go stockpile money
elfin briar
Am i able to refund a combo item that comes with a gpu?
lyric shard
yeah, 5600x is good to have, just not a great bargain to get one now
guy what cpu do you have
vagrant gate
Am i able to refund a combo item that comes with a gpu?
do they have a refund policy you can look at
lyric shard
cryptic, i'v eheard you can, but you have to pay shipping
elfin briar
Ohh I see
brittle field
lmao, my SSD really is not optimal. 😄 (OCZ VERTEX3 60GB)
elfin briar
I wasn't sure because some people were saying you could but I looked it up and it said you would have to return the whole combo
timid willow
it is a combo after all
lyric shard
i have the 120 GB version.. not a huge prob as long as its just windows
vagrant gate
you probably do
timid willow
you can't just give them back the fries and shake to get a price reduction on the burger
brittle field
It is rated just barely better in the benchmarks than my WD Blue hard drive that I have.
timid willow
you can't just give them back the fries and shake to get a price reduction on the burger
vagrant gate
what parts came with the combo
lyric shard
if your motherboard supports NVME (i fyou have th X5xx it does)
timid willow
i got a free 512 nvme with my rig even
lyric shard
that is a future upgrade
its liike going from the HDD to the 60GB SSD when it came out
brittle field
My motherboard did come with a single M.2 slot.
lyric shard
going from SSD to the NVME is crazy
brittle field
That is actually what I did originally rmp00n
lyric shard
but, your big impact would be the GPU
vagrant gate
oh im green now
brittle field
I just haven't replaced that yet. Since I haven't had hard drive problems since my last upgrade.
lyric shard
and Guy, you need to figure out what CPU you have.. find a board that supports it.. move the CPU to the new board, stick it into a new case and then grab you a 3060TI
brittle field
Which was from a trash level 500gb hard drive, to a 1TB WD Blue.
I would love a new computer case. 😄 (Dreams for when I have income...)
lyric shard
yeah the original was going from a base HDD to a raptor with blazing speed 😄
hopefully that happens before 2050
brittle field
I actually replaced one of my old SSDs with a WD Black, but... the 1TB was just worth getting to replace that other 500gb hard drive.
hmmm.... XMP mode can fail if I don't change the voltage settings?
😕
(I found a recommendation to enable XMP mode in that last Benchmark I ran of my computer. )
lyric shard
depends on the ram you have..
hopefully they talked you into at lease 3000 mhz .. the ryzen chips run better with the faster ram
3200 or 3400 preferable, can't remmbr
hard dock
What’s going on with the gpu pricing
brittle field
GPU supply is destroyed right now.
timid willow
i do love the idea that 'big time gamers' are buying 3090s to go with their i3 6100s to play minecraft
brittle field
from what I understand
lyric shard
lol
hard dock
Cuz of COVID?
lyric shard
maybe a benefit on that minecraft RTX stuff? Idk
timid willow
cuz of scalpers
lyric shard
covid didnt help
lyric shard
manufacturing slowdown
brittle field
completely and totally shot, due to overwhelming demand and pandemic reduced supply
timid willow
java programming you know how it is
lyric shard
the GPU requires RAM from outside that has to be manufactured.. so that is slow
its just a big bottleneck lol
vagrant gate
scalpers had an easier job because of covid since they didnt have to get them all in person
brittle field
Like I read somewhere that the e-retailers were ordering 10s of thousands of cards, but received way less.
hard dock
I got lucky buying a rx5600xt for 240 but now I check it’s going for 300
lyric shard
yeah, the supply is extremely low
brittle field
Partially because the new gaming consoles had a priority for the chips.
lyric shard
true for AMD
hard dock
I got my amd chip pretty low
lyric shard
but, Nvidia prob turned it on too early becaue they new AMD was coming with a haymaker.. but we won in the pricing war.. just the supply is the probleme
brittle field
WholesomeRe..., That seems to be why I should return mine...
I got my 5600xt for 300
brittle field
I have the same CPU... o.O
lyric shard
i built two computers for neighbor kids last week.. got both of them a 1070 for 190 each.
used market is decent if you find deals
timid willow
yeah 2700x are really common space
hard dock
I have the same CPU... o.O
Ryzen 7 2700x? Or the without c
brittle field
The coincidence was his graphics card, in addition to that. 😄
hard dock
X
brittle field
2700X
brittle field
I went with the Aorus X570 Elite motherboard, but I feel like other motherboards have been rated better for future versions of Ryzen CPUs
Though just now, I noticed the newest Bios for the Aorus Elite motherboard, does support the 5000 series CPUs
hard dock
Nice
hard dock
My little brother tryna cop a ps5 and I told him just to build a pc but now I can’t even tell him that
Scalpers ruined the pricing for the ps5
lyric shard
for 500 he can build a computer that can play 1080P at 60FPS
hard dock
He wants that 4K
lyric shard
and later invest into a GPU for another 399 that can double or triple that FPS
well, he needs to keep dreaming
lol
vagrant gate
scalpers are going to lose money as long as people stop buying from them so much
brittle field
rmp00n, I have this memory: G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory
brittle field
I have 4 8gb sticks of it for some reason
lyric shard
shoudl get eventying out of that cpu
lyric shard
i would guess without looking, yes, but it wont be by much
brittle field
I buy an upgrade or two for my computer every other year. So for at least another two years or so, I'm basically stuck with the 2700X

Will my i5 9400f bottleneck if I buy a 3060 it
@ me
brittle field
Honestly, I may possibly not replace the R9 290 for another year, if I return the 5600 XT now. But the price, did kind of suck. Considering I even missed the game bundle promotion.
lyric shard
Average bottleneck percentage: 6.4% (CPU bottleneck)
3060TI isn't up yet
but 3070 is very close to it
if it were me, i would return the 5600Xt and use the R290
and try to snag a 3060TI
how much did you pay for that 5600
you said 300?
pre tax?
brittle field
Due to Covid-19, and the lack of communication, I was able to organize a possible return by FedEx via a pre-paid label, to the store.
yep
$300 pre-tax
lyric shard
yeah man, only 99 more gets you a 3060TI
brittle field
That $940 total purchase felt really tough on my budget.
brittle field
But I really needed a new printer, and chose to buy a new monitor.
lyric shard
1080P or 2k?
brittle field
1440P
I wanted more space to work, but couldn't afford to buy two new monitors at once.
Since my old monitor was a bit too small.
brittle field
Honestly, that 5600 XT was even worse than normal.
But was rated best of that particular line, by a small margin
Sapphire Pulse
(Black Edition)
lyric shard
or a 6800
brittle field
I'd probably go for a 6600 XT, once those are available.
But really, who knows...
lol
lyric shard
but that 399 price is damn good
brittle field
$399 is a bit much for me right now. Though I do sometimes upgrade, if the deal (or combo) is worth it.
lyric shard
a 1080TI runs yoiu about that right now
nah, i'm saying return your 5600xt and get that 300 back.. bank it and use your 290 until you make up that diff and then get your gpu
brittle field
Yeah, that does make sense now.
lyric shard
or sell your 290 for 50-80 and you onl yhave to come up wiht 30-50 😄
brittle field
I read someone telling me that $300 was normal, in the tech-deals chat, and honestly... felt like asking whether that meant it was NOT a sale price, or if it was actually good... lol
lyric shard
yep
dawn plover
easiest money
brittle field
My exact card, was available for purchase, at the store I went to, for $400...
so stupid...
cursive canopy
saw the bottleneck link... with 3070... 0.08% bottleneck.. so the 3060ti will be close... glad I got one 😄
dawn plover
bottleneck with what
lyric shard
return the 5600XT, use the 290 or sell it now for more and start hitting newegg and F5 on the 3060TI every day around 6pm lol
dawn plover
ahhhh
cursive canopy
the 3060ti isn't on list, but i am guessing it will be close to that
dawn plover
considering it competes with a 2080s
lyric shard
yeah, they are very close
dawn plover
should be sweet
idle oak
Any idea when 3070 will be available?
lyric shard
its been avail daily, just in very small amounts
idle oak
I really need one
lyric shard
keep an eye on newegg twitter

I wanna get a 3070 to run games 4k
I think it’s a sweet spot comparing the price to 3089

I heard navida is going to sell the 3060ti again on September 17th ? Is that true ?
Nvidia recently announced its RTX 30-series graphics cards (GPUs), making the worst time to buy a graphics card right now. The new RTX 30-series GPUs won't be released until September 17 and later, so they're not even an option right now. Still, don't buy or preorder them until you've seen reviews and benchmarks.

Wait when did they restock @tribal hedge
tribal hedge
They did a lot of restocking last night, I know that

I don’t check BB too much, but knowing Nvidia sells most of their FE cards to them, probably
But newegg was the one that restocked
tribal hedge
Tbh if you wanna get fast on the restocking, I’d suggest following restock bots on Twitter

thanks
tribal hedge
Let them shoot notifications over and you’ll be getting there before Newegg sends their “auto notify” messages

I was close to getting one on BB during launch but for some hugee mastermind brain reason they decided you have to pickup in store and every single store within a 250 mile radius of me didnt have one
oh sweet ill follow that
What are some good restock accounts tol follow?

Uh
Lemme grab my list

Thanks i appreciate the help
Nice to hear 3060 ti stock is comnig back slowly so soon
clear creek
Is 3090 a lot better than 3080?
sick turtle
Nope
clear creek
I was going to get 3090, but a friend said they aren’t that different for the price difference
sick turtle
If you need 24GB of Vram sure, other then that very similar performance.
clear creek
Well I usually use more than 8 for my games, so idk if 10 will be enough. Can any game even use 24? Or what is 24 even necessary for?
sick turtle
Also quite a bit of a price difference if you ask me.
clear creek
For me it’s not really about price it’s more about longevity
I don’t want to upgrade for a long time
sick turtle
Very few games use more
clear creek
Obviously my main concern is cyberpunk
I am sure my 2080 can’t handle ultra ray tracing
Based on the requirements chart
sick turtle
I suggest looking at benchmarks for a good comparison, in all the ones I’ve seen it’s probably 10 FPS more at best.
sick turtle
No it’s going to chug, I’ve played a heavy RTX game with a 2080 and it wasn’t great.
clear creek
Right but the alternative is staying with my 2080 or getting 3080, then having to upgrade when 4080 comes out
sick turtle
Tested a 3070 with the same game and it did a lot better
sick turtle
Like 3x for sure
clear creek
Why risky?
tribal hedge
4K High/Ultra settings on Cold War nearly push 95% VRAM usage
clear creek
I’d only be at 1440
tribal hedge
Oh
Then yeah you’re perfectly
Fine
Wait why were you considering a 3090 for 1440p lmfao
sick turtle
The thing is availability, 3080s are way harder to find then 3090s
clear creek
Wait reallyV
I would have thought the other way around
What do you even need 24gb of vram for?
tribal hedge
8K
clear creek
Right
clear creek
I see
tribal hedge
Also 24gb of VRAM helps make sure you’ll be able to keep it for a long while
clear creek
That was the idea^
sick turtle
Heavy render programs and such
There’s also the 3080ti that will make the 3090 even more pointless
With 20GB
tribal hedge
Problem is
sick turtle
Yeah, same number of cuda cores
tribal hedge
Nvidia is being extremely quiet or secretive about a 3080ti
sick turtle
Supposed to come Q1 2021
tribal hedge
So there’s always the debate of whether or not it even exists
clear creek
Well if I can get away with max graphics 1440p cyberpunk I will wait until it’s either announced or confirmed
sick turtle
I’ll double check but pretty sure it was confirmed
tribal hedge
MSI recently copyrighted a 3080ti
So
It’s very likely
But essentially for the 3080ti
20gb of VRAM
Less Bandwidth (doesn’t make that much of a difference)
Same CUDA, ROPS, Tensor, as 3090
For $500 less
sick turtle
They have too because of AMD with their 16GB cards
tribal hedge
It’s literally just a slightly slimmed down 3090.

If everyone thinks I can run cyberpunk max graphics and ray tracing at 1440 on a 2080 I’ll probably just stick with that for a while
tribal hedge
Which means the AIB models will be the same
clear creek
I couldn’t run watchdogs legion with max ray tracing at more than 30fps

Console type beat

2080 will not max CP from my experience with Observer redux on steam

Thought I think that may be their poor port

Volumancer#1601 has been warned

Unless you turn off RTX
clear creek
I’ll probably just go high graphics mid rtx
sick turtle
That would work, 3070 does give a huge improvement tho in RTX compared to the 2080
And stocks aren’t looking too bad
clear creek
Feels bad 3070 is cheaper than my 2080 hybrid
sick turtle
Yeah, that’s what competition gives us
20 series was definitely a let down, rip my 2080 Super.
sick turtle
I upgraded from a r9 390 and I felt it should of been more for that price point.
At least now they’ve been put in their place.
clear creek
I know absolutely nothing about amd
tribal hedge
I like competition, it forces companies to actually show their muscle
sick turtle
Kinda similar to the 1070 it as 8GB and did very well.
clear creek
Stupid question, but do AMD cards work fine in any motherboards? Or do they need specific ports? I have a Maximus XI hero with 2080
sick turtle
Same
clear creek
I figured yeah
tribal hedge
Nah, all cards are universal as long as the mobo supports them
clear creek
Cool

Fellas
What competition brought us was the 3060ti
$400 for a gpu that’s hot on the trail of the 2080ti, and beats the 2080Super
sick turtle
Yep it was about time
sick turtle
Back then 700$ got you 2 GPUs in one card.
clear creek
If I can, I’ll probably get a 30 series AIO card
sick turtle
I had the 295x2 which was a AIO and a heck of a chonky boi
clear creek
My case isn’t really an issue
I just like how simple aio is. Feels better for the cards longevity too
sick turtle
It’s is, also quieter when gaming
sick turtle
Price, that’s about it.

yo is it possible to make a build that has a rtx 3070 and it is less than 1700
delicate glade
Sure, if you get a 3070 that isn't scalped.
fervent obsidian
yeah you can make one with a 3080 as well for under that
can do a 3070 for a little over 1k
scarlet lance
yeah you can absolutely fit a 3080 in that budget

What graphics settings should I use on Minecraft Java with an RX 580 4gb to get 144fps?
bro 3070 is 500 maybe 600 tops
Anything more than that and you're getting screwed
But I don’t have $500
I got my 3060ti FE at MSRP. I think they had more of those than 3070s and 3080s combined. Probably see more stock in January
What is your budget?
I already got a pc with an rx 580 imao
oh lmao
And a R7 2700 non-x
You should be good tbh. I'd wait till 4000 series unless you really need to upgrade
580 aint a bad card at all. I had a 5600xt before I bought the 3060ti but I want them raytracing effects on Cyberpunk
i see
the only problem is that its a 4gb version because its a $620 prebuilt from April 2020 also I was meant to get a R5 1600 af
zinc wraith
If you don't, get it.
lone pond
its a mod right?
zinc wraith
It increases your fps and allows more customization to further increase fps
Yeah its a mod, but it works on any server.
zinc wraith
If you say so.
Loads of players use it.
Its also how players have access to shaders, and zoom.

Optifine is a must if ur trying to get high fps

Is there a good tutorial someone has on SLI/NVLink. I want to connect up 3x1080s that are now going into the same machine and 2x3090s which will now be used for work (compute heavy)

Is there a good tutorial someone has on SLI/NVLink. I want to connect up 3x1080s...
I don't think you can SLI 3x1080s but I could be wrong, and 2x3090s have worse perf than one in almost every task iirc
dawn plover
and to choose a bridge, you need to count how many expansion slots are from the top bracket to the one at the bottom
plain pilot
@crisp ocean wat. how can they possibly be worse? I'm doing GPGPU/Cuda stuff
dawn plover
so if you have 2 cards that are 2 slots big right next to each other, then you get a 3 slot nvling bridge
crisp ocean
Yeah how would you SLI 3x1080s?
crisp ocean
for 3 cards though?
dawn plover
😳
crisp ocean
I know most if not all support 2
dawn plover
yeah
arctic phoenix
lots of older mobos support upto 4 afaik
crisp ocean
but I don't know why they need to SLI at all
dawn plover
lmao rip sli
crisp ocean
for his need a quadro would be better
arctic phoenix
SLI used to be good when you could get 2080ti amounts of power
with 2 1070s in SLI
the reason it died was because of the lack of support for it
plain pilot
but I have 3x 1080s and an old mobo that has 4 slots. Wait, why don't newer mobos usually support 2 or more, anymore?
crisp ocean
my poi nt is tthough are you able to find an nvlink bridge which links 3 gpus?
dawn plover
what mobo do you have?
terse bloom
Cause newer GPUs don't support SLI anymore?

oh. too bad

I get it. I'm a few hours from one and might have tried to queue up for a 6800 if it wasn't for the pandemic. Driving 2-3 hours to get there super early and likely not get a card is a hard sell anytime though, especially considering I need to build a whole system and would want a 5600x as well
