Problem is I can’t buy from bb

cursive canopy
#

def keep trying

#

why can't you?

blissful swift
#

Not in the US

dense panther
#

@lyric shard i ask my canada computers they only do preorders

cursive canopy
#

ahhhh ok.. seemed bestbuy is sending purchased cards to the person's local bestbuy....

#

kind of like that idea, so it will prevent the botters getting so many cards

blissful swift
#

The struggle is real on my side of the world 🤣

cursive canopy
#

sorry to hear that.. hope they have some available for you soon

blissful swift
#

Fingers crossed

dense panther
#

i hate trying to buy a 3000 series card

#

its so frustrating

cobalt star
#

I just want a pc lol

dense panther
#

i have all my parts but no gpu

cobalt star
#

I don't think I will get anything

#

everything is out of stock

blissful swift
#

I’m getting to a point where I may be buying of a scalper... which honestly sucks

dense panther
#

no

cobalt star
#

rip my bday

dense panther
#

dont

dense panther
#

they win if you do that

blissful swift
#

I don’t want to trust me

cobalt star
#

we must go against all scalpers

blissful swift
#

And I will not

dense panther
#

they want you to do that

stiff jackal
dense panther
#

just create your own bot to buy your parts

blissful swift
#

Nvidia and amd need to get their act together

blissful swift
dense panther
#

its cuz of covid

#

stock sucks for every new tech

stiff jackal
#

And they’re all buying from TSMC

dense panther
#

ps5 xbox gpu cpu

blissful swift
dense panther
#

same

#

pepe3090 i need to yoink one

#

at any cost

#

paimon_warning now its the bot or me

#

theres only place for one of us on earth

stiff jackal
#

I’m just hoping for, preferably a 3070 or a 3060ti if the 3070 remains out of my reach

dense panther
#

scalpers should get ban of ebay

blissful swift
#

I’m going to wait it out and see where will this take us ... I want the asus strix 3080

dense panther
#

it would discourage them

lyric shard
#

scalpers are making ebay a ton of money

blissful swift
dense panther
#

i know but still

#

its not ethical

lyric shard
#

they don't care

Ixotim#0709 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

lyric shard
#

why would they? If people are dumb enough to pay twice MSRP for a GPU they get what the deserve

dense panther
#

its making the tech market s h i t

cobalt star
#

the shoe market is poop too

dense panther
#

yeah

#

all becuz of bots

cobalt star
#

just like here

#

but

#

if you don't get it

#

it's gone for good

dense panther
#

yeah

lyric shard
#

meh, the manufacturing will eventually pick up, the market will saturate and peopel will be able to get the cards.. what sucks is when the brick and mortars start bumping up msrp to take advantage

cobalt star
#

Im used to this

lyric shard
#

and luckily they aren't

#

yet

smoky niche

Looking to upgrade to a dual HDMI video card for this PC. Having issues with the original one. Any suggestions on where to start? I am very hardware illiterate.
Appreciate any suggestions. Lenovo Desktop PC IdeaCentre K450 57324504 Intel Core i7 4770 (3.40 GHz) 8 GB DDR3 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 Windows

dense panther
#

my only chance to get a 3060ti is evga

cobalt star
#

IS hdmi or dp better I dont rlly know

dense panther
#

i registered on the queue 1 day before launch

lyric shard
#

the i7 4770 is decent. not about that gpu

dense panther
#

🤞 maybe i will get one soon

lyric shard
#

some refresh rates will require DP over HDMI

cobalt star
#

I signed up on the day

#

so Rip me

#

Never gonna get a pc

dense panther
#

yeah i didnt even get a message soon

ripe ivy
#

Depends on the displays you're working with, most modern cards have like 1 HDMI and several Display Port from what I've seen

dense panther
#

imagine me waiting for 5600 none x

#

its also going to sell out

#

at that point i know someone that could make me a bot im thinking about asking him

smoky niche
dense panther
#

just to get one

#

and not wait for month

sullen vector
#

Anyone know when the rtx 3060 ti will come back in stock

#

The strix version

lyric shard
#

eventually once the market catches up, there will be a TON of CPU/GPU's hitting ebay cheap... just hold tight if you are wanting to upgrade

dense panther
#

nobody's knows anything around here

#

just look often

sullen vector
#

K

blissful swift
#

It’s more like a venting venue 🤣

lyric shard
#

check twitter.. new eggs

dense panther
#

use nowinstock

sullen vector
#

Anyone here play7 among us

lyric shard
#

they have been good at announcing their drops

dense panther
#

yeah atleast

lyric shard
#

and nowinstock is good if you watch the comments

dense panther
#

but not in cad 200Sad

#

im sure 2021 is going to suck for tech and it didnt even start

lyric shard
cobalt star
#

what are your guys builds rn

lyric shard
#

everythign else you have is fine

#

ryzen 3600x on an x570, aorus 1080TI

cobalt star
#

mine is I7 7700t, integrated graphics, motherboard : idk it scares me, psu: idk when the bomb will blow

#

it's legit 70 watts

lyric shard
#

so that 3360TI would be a beastly upgrade for you

cobalt star
#

fs

#

I need a whole new pc

lyric shard
#

looks like an 18% bottleneck on that cpu if you do get teh 3060TI, so yeah, cpu/mobo would be your next upgrade

cobalt star
#

I want to upgrade the whole thing

#

I have to upgrade the cpu anyway

#

I think my motherboard might be pcie gen 2

#

Psu will explode my house with a 3060ti

dense panther
#

my pc should be
r5 5600 not come out yet
3060ti
1tb nvme ssd
2x8 gb 3200hz cl16 corsaire rgb pro
650w bronze full modular
msi x570 edge wifi
td500 mesh

cobalt star
#

here is mine on a pcpartpicer

dense panther
#

noice

lyric shard
#

dense panther
#

cobalt star
#

rose adder
#

lyric shard
#

cobalt star
#

nah

#

200

#

bestbuy has it

lyric shard
#

cobalt star
#

I'm not allowed to purchase yet tho

lyric shard
#

cobalt star
#

Only the 3060ti

#

wow that's cheap

lyric shard
#

yeah, its 199 now at microcenter.. i got it at 275 which came with a 30$ discount on a motherboard

#

*175

#

i keep saying 275

cobalt star
#

Man microcenter is 400 miles away

#

maybe farther

#

idk

lyric shard
#

i'm lucky enough to have one within 40 min

cobalt star
#

fs

#

maybe I will take a vacation to LA

#

then I go buy

dense panther
#

my pc that should finish when there's stock

cobalt star
#

your psu is ketchup and mustard btw

dense panther
#

its not that one

#

i did not find mine

cobalt star
#

and I think 3600 ram speed would serve you better

#

oh

#

I see

dense panther
#

mine is all black

cobalt star
#

My build is 900 and I could fit 3600 speed

#

you should try and do that to get more juice

dense panther
#

@cobalt star i know but there was no in stock with decent shipping price

cobalt star
#

Also is 5600x really that cheap???

#

dense panther

dense panther
#

solemn relic
#

Does anyone know when other stores restock?

lyric shard
#

dense panther
#

undone crow
#

golden pilot

lyric shard
#

dense panther
#

they dont care

lyric shard
#

i tried to do a swap with a guy straight up plus a retail cover.. i offered a guy the 3090 FE for his 3080 EVGA plus whatever the diff was.. he wouldn't do it.

dense panther
#

they are just opportunist

lyric shard
#

wanted me to give him the 3090, my 1080TI and he would give me the 3080 and 600

dense panther
#

bruh

lyric shard
#

even tried to rip me off on a swap

dense panther
#

i would of trade

rich flint
#

^

lyric shard
#

i paid 1625 for the 3090

dense panther
#

if i had the money

rich flint
#

I mean I don't need a 3090 but why the hecc not

lyric shard
#

he paid 800 for the 3080

rich flint
#

that's one heck of a deal

#

I hope he had a good reason to keep his 3080

lyric shard
#

you would give me a 3090 and your 1080TI for my 3080 and 600 bucks?

dense panther
#

bruh i saw a video of someone going to a store to trade a 3080 against a ps5

#

no body wanted it

#

so he trade a 2000$ gaming pc with monitor to get a ps5

rich flint
#

oh yeah I saw that

lyric shard
#

keep in mind, i can get 450 to 500 right now for my 1080TI..

dense panther
#

bruh i would of trade at the first offer

rich flint
#

SAME

rich flint
dense panther
#

i would of scalp the card a bought a series x and a ps5 to scalp them kekw

rich flint
#

lol

lyric shard
#

not sure you are understanding the offer lol

dense panther
#

he was trading a 3080 vs a ps5 but they all refused so he traded a 2k dollars setup with 3080 plus a monitor vs a ps5

rich flint
#

2 people still refused that offer

dense panther
#

they where so crazy

lyric shard
#

3090 - $1625 + 1080TI Aourus OC - 450 total is $2075 for 3080 - 800 plus 600 cash =TOtal 1400

#

dude tried to say his 3080 and 600 was equal to my 3090 and 1080TI

rich flint
#

yeah, he's dumb ngl

#

I would've traded the 3080

lyric shard
#

worst fantasy football trade ever

tribal hedge
#

Bro holy crap lmao

dense panther
#

its 6pm

#

guys

#

newegg

lyric shard
#

oh, yeah.. i tried to trade straight up and asked him to pay me the retail diff in price. we would have both been happy.. but he was pulling that scalper mentality

tribal hedge
#

The stock bots i’m following keep pinging me with “restock of 3060ti” and “restock of 3070”

#

Earlier today some Waterforce 3080’s got restocked

dense panther
#

send the link

#

does it work in cad ?

lyric shard
#

doesn't lok like its happening

tribal hedge
#

I’m using mostly Twitter bots to shoot me over pings

dense panther
#

oh ok

tribal hedge
#

I can give you the names so you can follow them

lyric shard
#

yes please

tribal hedge
#

Because stock is getting a lot better from what I’m seeing

dense panther
#

but still not enough

#

scalpers are still having fun

tribal hedge
#

On Twitter it’s gonna be

#

TechStockBot
RTX Stock bot
Snail Monitor
RTX Stock Updates
StockDrops

#

Speaking of

#

3080 XC3 is in stock

dense panther
#

where

tribal hedge
#

NewEgg probably

dense panther
#

oh still not in cad

#

canada for building pc sucks

tribal hedge
#

I know the 3080 and 3090 supply is terrible in Canada if what I’ve heard is correct

dense panther
#

for everything pc part are more expensive

#

most of the time

tribal hedge
#

I mean

#

You can always order from US, have it get delivered if they’ll do that

dense panther
#

with border tax no thanks

rich flint
#

cheaper than buying in your own country

dense panther
#

depands

rich flint
#

that's what I've infered

#

I'm most likely wrong like usual

dense panther
#

because i need to pay shipping plus most of the time border tax so no

#

most of the time its more expensive

tribal hedge
#

True true

rich flint
#

I keep forgetting taxes for 50x worse in other countries than in the US

#

but hey free healthcare

summer coyote
#

what is the best way to get a 30 series gpu online?

rich flint
#

wait for it to come in stock and buy it as soon as it goes in stock

dense panther
#

humhum

#

15% tax

#

in my province

rich flint
#

dang

#

that's pretty high

dense panther
#

its hurts every time

subtle cradle
#

lol almost added a washing machine to my cart on best buy website

dense panther
subtle cradle
#

searched '6800' and underneath all the graphics cards were washing machines and in stock

#

xD

dense panther
#

next time i build my pc i got in a micro center in the us

rich flint
#

Washing Machine is the best GPU Brand

dense panther
#

and buy everything in store

rich flint
#

The closest Microcenter near me is hours away several states down :/

dense panther
#

its going to be less expensive already because of taxes

#

me its 5h30

rich flint
#

but gas money

dense panther
#

gas in state is cheaper than cad

rich flint
#

tru

dense panther
#

it can still be a travel

rich flint
#

still expensive for the good stuff

dense panther
#

yeah

cobalt star
#

ofc I can't buy it today

#

My dad is off to the store and the bank

#

My mom says I have to let me dad buy

#

3060ti’s are restocking like crazy rn-

lone pond
#

nah

#

Bruh

tribal hedge
#

Ryzen 5000 is starting to restock as well

#

So it seems stocks are becoming far less of a problem

solemn relic
#

did combos ever go up?

nocturne merlin
#

yes, seems enough stock for over 2 mins

odd grotto
#

Nothing for 3070's

solemn relic
#

I never saw 3080s

nocturne merlin
#

was talking about 60ti

willow echo
#

nothing post on twitter

hardy flicker
#

so i take it this is the channel to monitor the very moment it gets in stock?

willow echo
#

so, no card for today

nocturne merlin
#

I added two 3060ti combos to cart and didn't checkout.

shrewd shard
#

Bunch of 3060’s restocking

#

Too bad only for America

tribal hedge
#

I mean if you’re in the UK,

#

3070 and 3060ti’s are gonna start flowing in soon

shrewd shard
#

Nah I’m in Canada

willow echo
#

“We do have supply constraints and our supply constraints do expand past what we are seeing in terms of wafers and silicon, but yes some constraints are in substrates and components. We continue to work during the quarter on our supply and we believe though that demand will probably exceed supply in Q4 for overall gaming.”
— Colette Kress, NVIDIA CFO

#

Q4 is in 2021 April to June

solemn relic
#

Still havent seen a single 3080 in stock

nocturne merlin
#

3080 is too good for mining

odd grotto
#

Same for 3070's. :L

willow echo
#

3060ti is best for mining

nocturne merlin
#

3060 ti is better than 3070

#

mostly VRAM bound

tribal hedge
#

I’ve seen more 3060ti’s and 3070’s tbh

sand pasture
#

tfw they announce restock in replies and then redact it

odd grotto
#

:v

terse bloom
#

I'm clicking refresh on 3080 combos on newegg, not seeing anything.

tribal hedge
#

Although 3080’s are pretty much screwed for a few months

nocturne merlin
#

seems only 3060ti today

terse bloom
#

But could be delayed like yesterday, and not release until 7:30 ET

odd grotto
#

Yeah

terse bloom
#

They also haven't actually posted anything on twitter yet either.

lone pond
odd grotto
#

Nothing from Twitter tho other than replies

inland hound
#

any idea when 3090s are going to be anything close to in stock?

willow echo
#

how nvidia make money with that kind stock

nocturne merlin
#

directly

odd grotto
#

Newegg just tweeted that there were 3060ti and 5800s in stock.

inland hound
#

I didnt know there was a second part

velvet shadow
#

yea i got a 3060ti

#

they were in stock for a decent bit of time

terse bloom
#

Yeah, in a reply to someone's question

lone pond
#

@odd grotto every single one of them are out of stock

terse bloom
#

They didn't even officially tweet it. They replied.

odd grotto
#

I did see the 5800

willow echo
#

we need to have a pre order option

tribal hedge
#

Absolutely not imo

inland hound
#

im just waiting for a 5950x and a 3090 to be in stock

terse bloom
tribal hedge
#

Pre orders arguably could make this problem worse

inland hound
#

arguably

#

seems to work for Valve though

#

with their Indexes

solemn relic
#

They didnt restock 3070s or 3080s

odd grotto
#

Yeah, they didn't

solemn relic
#

liars lol

odd grotto
#

Probs just 60ti's and 5800's

terse bloom

How did they lie when they didn't say they were getting restocks today?

tribal hedge
#

I got like 1 notification of “zotac 3070’ i checked and sold out immediately

terse bloom
#

At least, they never announced any restocks on twitter today

tribal hedge
#

Well they don’t announce singular product restocks

odd grotto
#

One of their replies made an implication

tribal hedge
#

But in bigger product restocks like in waves, sure they’ll post about it

terse bloom
#

Yeah, but it wasn't an announcement. And their social media team probably only found out AFTER the fact.

tribal hedge
#

Ah

willow echo
#

they should restock until they got like 5,000 cards

terse bloom
#

Like this right here, implies that their social media team, and their inventory and sales team, are separate, and may not be communicating 100%.

tribal hedge
#

People would lose interest in the product, then.

#

They’ve gotta meet demand

#

Also nvidia and amd probably want to push out as many graphics cards as possible

inland hound
#

Just gib 3090

rose adder
#

There doesn't exist enough 7nm fab capacity to meet demand

inland hound
#

please

rose adder
#

That's just how it be

tribal hedge
#

What Cap said

odd grotto
#

Yeah

tribal hedge
#

Nvidia threw Samsung under the bus lmao

inland hound
#

yeah

#

oops, 8nm

#

sorry 7nm

tribal hedge
#

“Well Samsung doesn’t make enough so we can’t help it”

nocturne merlin
#

its not fab, look at NVDA's q3 financial, record high gaming income

willow echo
#

that is a dead loop of let scalper troll us

#

if they push out as many graphics cards as possible

tribal hedge
#

Would you rather wait for cards to come in stock while AMD builds up there’s?

#

No, because that’s bad business

#

At this point it’s just an arms race

#

Whoever can push out more gpu’s, wins this generation and Nvidia seems to be mostly winning

willow echo
#

well, losing every single customer is a bad business

tribal hedge
#

Yeah

#

Hence why they’re releasing it lmfao

rose adder
#

it's not like the people spamming f5 will suddenly decide they no longer need a gpu when it actually becomes available

#

it really just depends on which company produces more

tribal hedge
#

I’d rather these “waves of restock” instead of getting 0 releases until they feel like they’re ready

willow echo
#

but how to solve the scalper problem

rose adder
#

you can't stop people from selling things they own

odd grotto
#

Well, looks like 7nm versions of Ampere cards will release in 2021.

rose adder
#

unless you abolish the free market entirely

tribal hedge
#

^

rose adder
#

I mean it sucks that they lower your chances of getting the card

tribal hedge
#

This isn’t the first time scalpers have ever existed

willow echo
#

ebay should limit the price from the origial price

rose adder
#

what would that accomplish

#

ebay would just turn into another retailer where there is never stock

odd grotto
#

Ebay sellers just place bids on them.

#

And then you got anti-scalper bots trolling sellers to waste their time.

rose adder
#

tbh at that point why bother writing a bot

#

if you have enough free time to write a bot and nothing better to do just become a scalper and actually make money

#

placing fake bids is like actual fraud

odd grotto
#

🤷🏻‍♂️ Dun ask me, ask the anti-scalpers

sick turtle
#

I would think it more as free game, botting isn't allowed by these retailers so we're kinda in limbo in that matter.

stuck pebble
#

I'm a patient woman. If I can wait several months for Reaper Bones tabletop mini Kickstarters to ship to my house, I can wait months for a GPU if a decent preorder system was made available to me. I work 48+ hrs/week, I'm not always available to respond to stock alerts that sell out almost instantly. 😐

gritty notch
#

lmao true

sick turtle
#

Yeah they forget how patient PC gamers are, we have no problem waiting 1 year for exclusive games.

gritty notch
#

imo if u have a 20 series card ur fine anyways

willow echo
#

they have enough card give out to youtuber

odd grotto
#

I don't really spend too long hunting either. But if I have an opportunity to race for one, I would.

tribal hedge
#

Some 3080’s just dropped

rose adder
#

honestly I am waiting for 3080 20gb

tribal hedge
#

Specifically the Gigabytes

#

Oh hey 3070’s are coming in

rose adder
#

a 10gb card is not a big enough upgrade to justify

velvet nebula
#

idk, the whole thing is really sketchy, i just hope for the next gen they figure out a better way of doing it, if there is one. the whole alert on your phone obviously doesnt work cuz of bots and the people who have been waiting for hours spamming f3 just for it to come into stock

rose adder
#

at least for my use case

shrewd shard
#

3070 restock gogogogo

gritty notch
#

ew gigabyte

#

honestly like

sick turtle
#

Youtuber count doesn't effect these stocks

gritty notch
#

ill get a 30 series card once i can get it from a non garbage brand

lone pond
#

@velvet nebula i think you mean f5

sick turtle
#

It's crypto miners

rose adder
tribal hedge
#

“Non garbage brand”
ouch

lone pond
#

@gritty notch gigabyte is best gpu brand

tribal hedge
#

Yeah

lone pond
tribal hedge
#

And arguably best mobo brand

sick turtle
#

They sold directly to them too.

gritty notch
#

evga or FE

#

only 2 ways to go

lone pond
#

fe

tribal hedge
#

Evga

#

Lmao.

lone pond
#

Lol

#

Im joking, evga

rose adder
#

that's bad PR for nvidia to sell to miners, they could easily have sold all of them to gamers instantly

gritty notch
#

nvidia dont care

#

they got money

#

and its not like amd is actually serious competition

rose adder
#

probably made more money from miners

sick turtle
#

Yeah, but... money.

tribal hedge
#

I mean

gritty notch
#

prolly wont be for the next uhhh

rose adder
#

nvidia green for a reason

tribal hedge
#

Nvidia has always been selling to Miners

gritty notch
#

couple years

sick turtle
#

They did sell them for a markup to miners

rose adder
#

Nvidia just needs to mine crypto themselves

#

cut out the middleman

abstract seal
odd grotto
#

Dang it. I got the 30700 combo in my cart and it sold out when I put my card in. LOL

sick turtle
#

They probably invested in crypto anyway so for them it's a win win

velvet nebula
#

ive been waiting for the evga ftw3 3080 to come in stock for about a week now, but i just can never catch it before theyre gone

rose adder
gritty notch
#

they just blame scalpers

#

ez

rose adder
#

I mean scalpers are just a result of low supply

#

like Supreme clothing

stuck pebble
#

Realistically, my 1080ti is going to have to keep chugging until AT LEAST the end of winter the way supply is going...

terse bloom
#

So they did restock the 3080 but couldn't get one

rose adder
#

imo if you have a 1080 ti

#

you should just wait for 3080 ti

#

with more vram

lone pond
#

is rtx 3090 worth 1500$

sick turtle
#

nope

tranquil belfry
#

Managed to snag a 3080 POG

velvet nebula
#

nah lmao

terse bloom
#

Kept hitting add to cart on those combos, but shit.. Kept getting the extra item, not the 3080 at all

#

Damn you lucky

rose adder
#

3090 will be obsolete in like 5 months max

abstract seal
rose adder
#

when nvidia release 3080 ti

lone pond
#

ok yes

#

but rtx 3090 is cool

#

500$ extra dollars for 5+ fps

rose adder
#

3090 doesn't even get titan drivers

tranquil belfry
#

I was literally gonna get a 5700xt yesterday, had no GPU for my dead pc. Keep grinding, people T_T

sick turtle
#

wait for the 3080 TI if you need more Vram

rose adder
#

like it is so hard to justify

gritty notch
#

and extra vram

terse bloom
#

3080 is $700. So a 3090 is a 10-15% performance increase plus SLI-capability, for more than DOUBLE the price.

gritty notch
#

almost like 3090 isnt for gaming

sick turtle
#

And SLI is dead

glad sigil
#

do they start the restocking process every night at 6pm central?

stuck pebble
#

I can see where a 3090 would be useful for people who do a lot of rendering...3d modeling, animation, CAD, and the like.

rose adder
#

well without Titan drivers it's not ready for lots of workstation applications either

gritty notch
#

just also happens to be the best gaming card out there because nvidia makes the best gaming cards

lone pond
#

bruh

#

3090 going for 2800$ usd on amazon

velvet nebula
#

lmaooo

sick turtle
#

oof

gritty notch
#

@rose adder good for AI still

terse bloom
#

3090 is for people who want bragging rights, realistically. Just to brag and say, I got it.

odd grotto
#

I'm giving up on Newegg and going to wait next year. No way I'm fast enough to deal with the need to login, put card code, and retype my card number. I managed to have a combo in my cart. LOL

terse bloom
#

Anyway, I'm done. Took an hour off my game to try and snag a 3080, didn't work.

rose adder
#

yeah the vram is good for ai, but I am waiting for 3080 ti

gritty notch
#

i honestly will probably never buy from newegg

i justl ike the community

Ouch. That's like the Gigabyte 3080 I briefly saw up on Amazon for twice its normal retail this morning.

sick turtle
#

True that

3080 20gb will be nearly identical ai performance for $500 less

I've been trying since launch for a 3080 for my boyfriend - not even myself - and i'm so over it lmao

I got my 5900x on launch day from newegg

no way I could get that from Amazon

#

not without writing a bot anyway

bronze vector

any idea how long it takes an order to go from processing to packing or whatever?

lone pond

i just realized

sick turtle

Well idk, amazon's listing for the 5900X in Canada as the description of a T-shirt

lone pond

by the time i will get my 400$ usd it'll christmas

sick turtle

says its machine washable

glad sigil

i had a 3060ti combo in my cart tonight but i contemplated too long if i really needed it or not and then it was gone

omg

i got a 3070 for my friend

you can put whatever in the url

willow echo
#

i want 3080

That's is the official page btw

all that matters is /dp/code

just wait for restock

rose adder
#

one of my friends lives near a microcenter and got a 3070

rose adder

supply is better than at launch at least

sick turtle

Description on the item still stays the same tho

lone pond
#

@rose adder ur canadian?

rose adder
#

no

#

USA

sick turtle
#

I am

rose adder
#

I don't think I would be using a 5900x if I were canadian

sick turtle
#

Well I just got one

lone pond
rose adder
#

ik I was just pointing out how the amazon urls work

rose adder
#

wtf is that price

#

lmao

sick turtle
#

yup but on that 5900x it's not an edited URL name it's the actual items description.

#

Scalper price for you

inland hound
#

at this point 2.8k cad is a reasonable price for a 3090

rose adder
#

honestly I am more mad at the people buying it at that price

inland hound
#

yeah they are the ones that are letting these scalpers get away with it

sick turtle
#

I still haven't bought anything from a scalper I don't intend to do so.

inland hound
#

same

#

look at this stream

#

trust me

rose adder
#

why don't people just track stock themselves

sick turtle
#

Ah Street Merchant

#

I use it myself

#

still no luck with it tho

wintry orbit
#

you might get ip banned

#

or too much trouble

rose adder
#

yeah don't use your own computer

wintry orbit
#

I know vpn and stuff

rose adder
#

use google cloud credit or smthing

#

nah vpn would increase latency

#

if you want to get clever you can pay a couple bucks a month and get thousands of proxy ip addresses tho

sick turtle
#

I'm not using it on Newegg. Only BB and Amazon, they don't IP ban as far as I seen.

#

And from what I've noticed BB is cesspool of bots

Captain_Sisko#2185 has been warned

yeah so is nvidia snatcher

my payment got declined now it's processing again

Newegg somehow has a Discover card integration

wintry orbit

I wrote the wrong code cause I was in a rush

rose adder

they texted me and had me enter a confirm code

wintry orbit

I didn't use my discover cause it would go over my credit limit

it says it'll ship on 12/7

what did u end up getting?

wintry orbit
#

but it is still in processing

sick turtle
#

what did you get?

wintry orbit
#

3060ti

rose adder
#

nice

wintry orbit
#

it has the most stock

#

I just need it for machine learning, and I game in 1440p 144hz so it was the best choice

rose adder
#

lmao Asus made a strix 3060 ti and it costs the same as a 3070

sick turtle
#

Yeah from what I've seen 3060 isn't as bad to get your hands on.

wintry orbit
#

I saw 3060tis on ebay for more than some scalped 3070s

rose adder
#

yeah 3060 ti has the new tensor cores

#

I got a 2070 super for $360 from evga

wintry orbit
#

you can overclock the 3060ti to the 3070 performance

rose adder
#

same vram as 3070 so I can run the same size models

#

eh

#

personally I don't want to train on an overclocked gpu

#

one flipped bit and hours of training gone

wintry orbit
#

I won't overclock it

#

I don't need that much power

#

I have a 1060 6gb and it runs most games well enough

sick turtle
#

I find it a pain to activate my OC every time I just leave it on boost.

rose adder
#

I have no intensive games I play

#

I will start Minecraft RTX when it stops being beta

#

running ml models is the most intensive thing I do

wintry orbit
#

I might get cyberpunk if I get the 3060ti

rose adder
#

that does look fun

wintry orbit
#

I'm waiting for reviews

rose adder
#

yeah not like there will be supply issues

#

I hope....

wintry orbit

don't want a no man sky repeat

We don't talk about that game

What was even wrong with that game

wintry orbit

🤞

sick turtle

Everything at launch

wintry orbit

when no man sky came out it had a bunch of bugs and no content

odd grotto

Overhyped and failed to deliver what they overhyped.

carmine pine

I feel like CDPR does a great job with their games though. And the fact that they delayed it so many times shows the care they have

sick turtle
#

An A** load of missing content

#

And lot's of lies

wintry orbit
#

@rose adder so do you also write ML programs?

#

or at least try to

spare relic
#

Overworked devs too

wintry orbit
#

well no man sky is made by an indie studio

sick turtle
#

Well that's the game industry in general

carmine pine
#

I mean that doesn’t always equal a bad game though

spare relic
#

Tight release schedule and no room to develop

carmine pine

Look at GTA V

Still an issue

carmine pine

Yeah definitely

rose adder

I'm still in university but I got a professor to let me do ML research under him

yeah I am an undergrad also

I had to go in person

we use zoom and Piazza mostly

One of my professors used "Pizza" (Piazza) and no one really uses it. LOL

rose adder
#

wow already doing research as a freshman

wintry orbit
#

my uni is doing a thing they call hyflex which means you can choose to come to class

#

but my engineering professors took advantaged and force everyone to come for labs

odd grotto
#

Yeah, I got lucky my freshmen year too, but my professor didn't know what he wanted with Front-End work. :v

wintry orbit
#

yeah... I just talked to the right person at the wrong time

rose adder
#

for analog systems I got a free lab kit

wintry orbit
#

I talked to the TA after an exam while my friends were waiting for me

rose adder
#

usb oscilliscope, breadboard, and a bunch of components

#

so at home labs were actually not bad

wintry orbit
#

did you get a bunch of resistors too?

rose adder
#

yeah

#

resistors, capacitors, diodes, some op amps

wintry orbit
#

I get confused as to what resistance to put

rose adder
#

wdym

wintry orbit
#

I did an arudino lab and I connected a motor to like a lever to change the speed

#

my friend did the breadboard for that project cause we were running low in time and I did the programming

#

it worked but the lever didn't do much since I was missing a microcontroller for it

rose adder
#

don't u need a transistor or mosfet

#

arduinos can't supply much current

wintry orbit
#

it was a small DC motor

#

for an oil skimmer project

#

full throttle already had too much power so the fact I had less was to my advantage

rose adder
#

nice

#

our lab was building am radio

#

pretty fun but too much math

wintry orbit
#

but it wasn't perfect cause I had no control over the voltage without the transistor or microcontroller

#

I created my own radio for a fun lab

#

it wasn't very good

rose adder
#

our instructor sent us test signals to see if our circuit worked

#

one of them was rick roll

#

smh

wintry orbit
#

lol

#

I have a friend from work who is a senior and I'd watch his online class with him sometimes

#

I got in a debate with the class on how PCs are better than consoles

#

he never really talked in class so the prof didn't know it wasn't him

rose adder
#

in my opinion having a fast pc has so much utility

#

even outside of gaming

wintry orbit
#

yeah the prof just said the price wasn't worth it for him

rose adder
#

it makes sense to invest your money into a pc that does both gaming and productivity well instead of spending $500 that could be spent on pc upgrade

wintry orbit
#

but that is a weak argument considering how little sales consoles have

rose adder
#

like you need a computer either way

#

may as well get a nice one instead of console

wintry orbit
#

I was going to go amd

#

but then I looked it up and amd isn't matured enough for ML

rose adder
#

lmao

wintry orbit
#

its practically useless without the tensor cores

rose adder
#

one of my friends got a 5700xt at launch and regrets now that he wants to do ml stuff

wintry orbit
#

why didn't he look it up?

#

people talked about it

rose adder
#

he wasn't doing ai at the time

wintry orbit
#

ah

rose adder
#

probably not a very forward thinking purchase for a computer science major though

wintry orbit
#

yeah

#

just look at productivity charts in general

#

nvidia crushes amd in those

rose adder
#

even stuff like rtx voice

#

it's cool to have

wintry orbit
#

does ML even need a lot of VRAM?

rose adder
#

and game ready drivers are a real value add when you want to spend your free time gaming

#

well

#

depends on the complexity of your model

#

cutting edge models generally require a lot of vram

wintry orbit
#

well yeah but I doubt I could pull that off

rose adder
#

I was running U-net for image segmentation and it filled up my 6gb on the 1070 maxq laptop I was using at the time

#

realistically if you end up doing research you should be given access to aws or some other remote workstation if you need to run intensive models

#

but it's nice to be able to run locally

wintry orbit
#

doing models for AI to learn how to play games would be better done locally wouldn't it?

rose adder
#

generally you would upload whatever training data you have to the place doing the training

#

like you offload your entire workload, not just the gpu

wintry orbit
#

I'd have to train my model on the machine

#

I'm planning on using Q-learning

#

so the model will have to learn by playing the game

#

idk how intensive that will get

rose adder
#

8gb is still enough for most things

wintry orbit
#

I do believe the biggest disadvantaged lies in the amount of time it would take for it

#

but I think it would help me understand how ML works a bit more fundamentally

#

I also think it'd be cool to see if I could tweak a program to do speedruns of cuphead in my spare time

abstract seal
#

That or Super Meat Boy.

wintry orbit
#

anything that isn't too demanding to run

rose adder
#

I feel like training an ai to do that from scratch would be incredibly slow unless you found a way to speed up the game and run many instances at once

wintry orbit
#

that would be doable with cuphead since it isn't very demanding to run

#

but my coding skills aren't that high

abstract seal
#

Slow or not it's a good project.

wintry orbit
#

only had 2 programming classes

#

neither in python

abstract seal
#

Meh. My first coding language was Pascal. From there I was able to learn Perl, Java, C/C++, Python you name it.

wintry orbit
#

I have surpassed my java skills with python in less than a month

#

I just have to do a bit more research than someone who already knows what to do

abstract seal
#

Oh well that's no surprise. Java is a pain.

wintry orbit
#

I liked java

abstract seal
#

Blech. :p

wintry orbit
#

but whenever I had a problem I would run to my professors office hours

abstract seal
#

Too much boilerplate to do stuff.

wintry orbit
#

he'd instantly know the issue

abstract seal
#

You should check out Go.

wintry orbit
#

saved me a lot of trouble

abstract seal
#

Well that's helpful for sure.

wintry orbit
#

yeah

#

otherwise it would be a pain

#

I also had 2 friends who knew java really well

abstract seal
#

I'll say this for Java in the 21st century. IntelliJ is light years ahead of any Java IDE I used back in the 90s.

#

It's made it tolerable to use at work.

wintry orbit
#

we used eclipse in class

#

right now I use vs code for python

abstract seal
#

Ugh. I'm so sorry.

#

lol I hate Eclipse.

#

Of course it's better than Netbeans.

wintry orbit
#

the prof let me use atom instead

abstract seal
#

Atom rocks.

wintry orbit
#

and then showed me how to run scripts in atoms cause I didn't know

abstract seal
#

It's such a shame that MS basically letting it die off.

wintry orbit
#

yeah

#

also I haven't seen atom on windows

abstract seal
#

Oh it's there.

#

slow af.

wintry orbit
#

so I switched to vs code for my mac as well

abstract seal
#

Good plan. VSCode is good. I like it. A little too much VisualStupido for me, but solid.

wintry orbit
#

its the extensions

abstract seal
#

Atom has (had) the same, but once MS bought GitHub they put VSCode over Atom.

wintry orbit
#

I also switched to everything on the MS suite cause I work IT and that's what faculty use so it makes it easier for me to help them

abstract seal
#

That's smart.

I learned a lot from my sys admin at work

#

comp science bachelor but helped a lot around the office

God you're reminding me of my days in school doing work study for the campus IT department.

it's good entry level stuff

Totally.

also very scary

A good customer service attitude will get you far.

#

yeah

#

But profs are insane.

wintry orbit
#

but some people can ruin your day when they just expect you to fix it magically

Yeeeup

#

One of the biggest lessons you can learn is to not let 'em.

wintry orbit
#

you also get more confident as you learn more and they give you more respect

#

heh. Don't forget an art prof doesn't know sh*t about an operating system.

I don't deal with profs

abstract seal
#

half the job is making them think you know what you're doing.

#

Lucky you.

I deal with faculty, the people behind the scences who do dining and student admissions also RHDs

#

Gotcha. I went to tiny school. We dealt w/ anyone using a computer and paid by the school.

#

We had extensions in two local Federal prisons...that was a good time.

#

Profs, staff, convicts.

wintry orbit
#

oh wow tiny school but prisons...

abstract seal
#

I mean gotta get dat tuition money.

wintry orbit
#

true

#

but even with that it's too expensive

abstract seal
#

hahaha the prisoners were the easiest to deal with.

#

Didn't argue with me.

#

The profs were the worst. Argued everything I told them.

#

I had someone ask for my admin operator account password cause she didn't think I was doing my job well enough

abstract seal
#

LMAO yeah okay.

#

lol

wintry orbit
#

she put in 3 tickets within an hour and I solved 2/3 cause she just messed them up

abstract seal
#

Noice.

wintry orbit
#

the other was due to microsoft suite issues out of my hand

#

but ofc she could do better

#

I also had people trying to give me their passwords because they didn't want to type them in themselves...

abstract seal
#

Users are a riot. Back when I was doing corporate support I got paged on Christmas Morning by a user who claimed their password stopped working right before they called me. Checked the logs and turns out their account was locked 2 months prior because of an incorrect password.

what'd they do for 2 months
