Not in the US
@lyric shard i ask my canada computers they only do preorders
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
The struggle is real on my side of the world 🤣
sorry to hear that.. hope they have some available for you soon
Fingers crossed
I just want a pc lol
i have all my parts but no gpu
I’m getting to a point where I may be buying of a scalper... which honestly sucks
no
rip my bday
dont
NO
STAY STRONG PLS
they win if you do that
I don’t want to trust me
we must go against all scalpers
And I will not
they want you to do that
Please don’t, it really isn’t worth it
just create your own bot to buy your parts
Nvidia and amd need to get their act together
I shouldn’t need that... it’s a gpu for gods sake
And they’re all buying from TSMC
ps5 xbox gpu cpu
Exactly why o need one... I’m stuck at home more than usual 🤣
same
i need to yoink one
at any cost
now its the bot or me
theres only place for one of us on earth
I’m just hoping for, preferably a 3070 or a 3060ti if the 3070 remains out of my reach
scalpers should get ban of ebay
I’m going to wait it out and see where will this take us ... I want the asus strix 3080
it would discourage them
scalpers are making ebay a ton of money
Hope so
they don't care
Reason: Bad word usage
why would they? If people are dumb enough to pay twice MSRP for a GPU they get what the deserve
its making the tech market s h i t
the shoe market is poop too
yeah
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
Im used to this
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
my only chance to get a 3060ti is evga
IS hdmi or dp better I dont rlly know
i registered on the queue 1 day before launch
the i7 4770 is decent. not about that gpu
🤞 maybe i will get one soon
some refresh rates will require DP over HDMI
yeah i didnt even get a message soon
Depends on the displays you're working with, most modern cards have like 1 HDMI and several Display Port from what I've seen
time to upgrade bro
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
No doubt.. just my home computer for all web base3d apps
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
K
It’s more like a venting venue 🤣
check twitter.. new eggs
use nowinstock
Anyone here play7 among us
they have been good at announcing their drops
yeah atleast
and nowinstock is good if you watch the comments
how much are you wanting to spend on a GPU
this was meant for you ^
what are your guys builds rn
mine is I7 7700t, integrated graphics, motherboard : idk it scares me, psu: idk when the bomb will blow
it's legit 70 watts
so that 3360TI would be a beastly upgrade for you
looks like an 18% bottleneck on that cpu if you do get teh 3060TI, so yeah, cpu/mobo would be your next upgrade
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
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
noice
should be able to get that 3600 cheaper than taht
yeah
Nowinstock is slow
maybe aroudn 275
even better
bought one for a neighbor build two weeks ago.. actually it was 175
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
i'm lucky enough to have one within 40 min
your psu is ketchup and mustard btw
mine is all black
My build is 900 and I could fit 3600 speed
you should try and do that to get more juice
@cobalt star i know but there was no in stock with decent shipping price
im in cad
oh
I don't have the CAD pricing
its ok
I think newegg may have some bundles
just write ca.pcpartpicker
htt ps://twitter.com/search?q=Restock%20alert%203080&src=typed_query
looks like this link will be good 😄
for 3080
YESS THE 3060TI
where
newegg us
Reason: Bad word usage
the combos are kinda bad
yeah
they suck, but without them very few actual people would be getting the gpu
but it ok i already bought my ram
yea true
during black friday
which bundle should I get
i got a good deal
the first one you get in your cart
Assuming I can get all
true
Which would be best for me
yeah lol
people that blink and think, miss out
I will buy anything
youa hve to snag what you see
exactly
and pay FAST
or it will get pulled right out from under you
take whatever there is
and shipping address?
yeah
i've heard that applepay is the best method, because you dont' even have to put in your cart.. you see it and you buy..
with apple pay it takes me 3 sec
i need to figure that out
through the app right? seems that its harder to refresh the phone than the cmputr
apple pay on site?
yes
how do you do in
on both
I don't have face id on my phone
yeah, i even bought somethign ystrddy to have it all ready and lost it out of cart
I have iphone 6s :/
is newegg doing another 6 pm ct restock for 3060s?
so, i have to set up apple pay on the computer to work with my phone? lol
so confusing
no
what i the touch id doesn't even work
setup in app wallet
that is what we are thinking, but no confirmation
on your phone
ok
@lyric shard do you something about restock in cad ?
How fast did the 3060ti's sell out?
seconds
newegg says the psus are intel form factor
yestrdy it was around 3 min .. but the 70 and 80s were instant
does that mean it doesn't work with ryzen
the 60s hung around for a bit
yeah
dang it
best buy was the easisest exept there were no locatations near me
but not that long
I got the one from best buy in my cart but the stupid CURBSIDE PICKUP thing was so stupid I couldn't get one
how long did 3060ti stay in stock yesterday
same
yeah, same.. BBY must pre ship to some stores, and its a crapshoot whether or not they hagv ethe stodck you grab
on best buy they released them in bursts (im pretty sure)
sad id you dont live in big cities
got a 3090 from BBY, but sold it
yeah
for how much?
@lyric shard do you know something about restock in canada ?
on release they were in stock for roughly 5 mins
i snagged one
canada? no. sorry
rip
just looking at neweggs twitter
wdym, they were in stock for 5 mins on newegg
impossible
so when do they restock in the U.S.?
not in canada
oh lol
for sure
im us
big oof
after taxes i paid 1625, sold for 1700
i was refreshing i didnt even see them in stock
75$ profit not worth
wasn't really trying to profit.. just grabbed it initially for a friend, that decided he didnt want it.
$1 profit is worth
SCALPER? lol
any profit is worth lol
i actually had a return set up to BBY.
what day?
scalper? Nah.. but the time i spent trying to get that damn thing and the hassle i to flip it was worth a little
Thats yesterdays
so is that happening today?
yeah, and they ended up having to push the 70s tp 420 amd tje 80s to 430
sorry bois
@lyric shard grab one for me
hah

i've already had a 3080 in 5 carts.. 4 in bestbuy and 1 here last night.. all 5 dissapeared before i coudl pay
rip
it should be easier now since the scalpers got theres
hopefully
no
Does anyone know when other stores restock?
nah, scalpers will keep pulling until they get stuck with hundreds
if everyone agreed to just not buy from scalpers the scalpers would get screwed
they wont be losing any money
yes
never happen
is best buy ever gonna release there gigabyte 3060s?
they can always sell the for the normal price
true but then they lose money on shipping or something like that
but they already made tones of profit
yeah
they wont stop until the market is saturated
they dont care
only money is interesting them
some maybe dont even play video games
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.
they are just opportunist
wanted me to give him the 3090, my 1080TI and he would give me the 3080 and 600
bruh
even tried to rip me off on a swap
i would of trade
^
i paid 1625 for the 3090
if i had the money
I mean I don't need a 3090 but why the hecc not
he paid 800 for the 3080
you would give me a 3090 and your 1080TI for my 3080 and 600 bucks?
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
oh yeah I saw that
keep in mind, i can get 450 to 500 right now for my 1080TI..
bruh i would of trade at the first offer
SAME
What about a 1660 TI and $300? 🤔
i would of scalp the card a bought a series x and a ps5 to scalp them 
lol
not sure you are understanding the offer lol
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
2 people still refused that offer
they where so crazy
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
worst fantasy football trade ever
Bro holy crap lmao
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
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
doesn't lok like its happening
I’m using mostly Twitter bots to shoot me over pings
oh ok
I can give you the names so you can follow them
yes please
Because stock is getting a lot better from what I’m seeing
On Twitter it’s gonna be
TechStockBot
RTX Stock bot
Snail Monitor
RTX Stock Updates
StockDrops
Speaking of
3080 XC3 is in stock
where
NewEgg probably
I know the 3080 and 3090 supply is terrible in Canada if what I’ve heard is correct
with border tax no thanks
cheaper than buying in your own country
depands
because i need to pay shipping plus most of the time border tax so no
most of the time its more expensive
True true
I keep forgetting taxes for 50x worse in other countries than in the US
but hey free healthcare
what is the best way to get a 30 series gpu online?
wait for it to come in stock and buy it as soon as it goes in stock
its hurts every time
lol almost added a washing machine to my cart on best buy website

searched '6800' and underneath all the graphics cards were washing machines and in stock
xD
next time i build my pc i got in a micro center in the us
Washing Machine is the best GPU Brand
and buy everything in store
The closest Microcenter near me is hours away several states down :/
but gas money
gas in state is cheaper than cad
tru
it can still be a travel
still expensive for the good stuff
yeah
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
rip my hopes and dreams
best way to clean it.. I use the dishwasher way....
Oh wait that’s 2080 Ti XD
is this the best place to post questions regarding hardware issues?
specifically an issue with a 3080 graphics card
yo
3060ti’s are restocking like crazy rn-
Ryzen 5000 is starting to restock as well
So it seems stocks are becoming far less of a problem
did combos ever go up?
yes, seems enough stock for over 2 mins
Nothing for 3070's
I never saw 3080s
was talking about 60ti
nothing post on twitter
so i take it this is the channel to monitor the very moment it gets in stock?
so, no card for today
I added two 3060ti combos to cart and didn't checkout.
Nah I’m in Canada
“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
Still havent seen a single 3080 in stock
3080 is too good for mining
Same for 3070's. :L
3060ti is best for mining
I’ve seen more 3060ti’s and 3070’s tbh
tfw they announce restock in replies and then redact it
:v
I'm clicking refresh on 3080 combos on newegg, not seeing anything.
Although 3080’s are pretty much screwed for a few months
seems only 3060ti today
But could be delayed like yesterday, and not release until 7:30 ET
Yeah
They also haven't actually posted anything on twitter yet either.
https://i.imgur.com/aTqyrm1.png explain 
Nothing from Twitter tho other than replies
any idea when 3090s are going to be anything close to in stock?
how nvidia make money with that kind stock
they just need to sell to miners
directly
what is that 1660s
Newegg just tweeted that there were 3060ti and 5800s in stock.
I didnt know there was a second part
Yeah, in a reply to someone's question
@odd grotto every single one of them are out of stock
They didn't even officially tweet it. They replied.
I did see the 5800
we need to have a pre order option
Absolutely not imo
im just waiting for a 5950x and a 3090 to be in stock
Pre orders arguably could make this problem worse
They didnt restock 3070s or 3080s
Yeah, they didn't
liars lol
Probs just 60ti's and 5800's
How did they lie when they didn't say they were getting restocks today?
I got like 1 notification of “zotac 3070’ i checked and sold out immediately
At least, they never announced any restocks on twitter today
Well they don’t announce singular product restocks
One of their replies made an implication
But in bigger product restocks like in waves, sure they’ll post about it
Yeah, but it wasn't an announcement. And their social media team probably only found out AFTER the fact.
Ah
they should restock until they got like 5,000 cards
Like this right here, implies that their social media team, and their inventory and sales team, are separate, and may not be communicating 100%.
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
Just gib 3090
There doesn't exist enough 7nm fab capacity to meet demand
please
That's just how it be
What Cap said
Yeah
Nvidia threw Samsung under the bus lmao
“Well Samsung doesn’t make enough so we can’t help it”
its not fab, look at NVDA's q3 financial, record high gaming income
that is a dead loop of let scalper troll us
if they push out as many graphics cards as possible
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
well, losing every single customer is a bad business
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
I’d rather these “waves of restock” instead of getting 0 releases until they feel like they’re ready
but how to solve the scalper problem
you can't stop people from selling things they own
Well, looks like 7nm versions of Ampere cards will release in 2021.
unless you abolish the free market entirely
^
I mean it sucks that they lower your chances of getting the card
This isn’t the first time scalpers have ever existed
ebay should limit the price from the origial price
what would that accomplish
ebay would just turn into another retailer where there is never stock
Ebay sellers just place bids on them.
And then you got anti-scalper bots trolling sellers to waste their time.
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
🤷🏻♂️ Dun ask me, ask the anti-scalpers
I would think it more as free game, botting isn't allowed by these retailers so we're kinda in limbo in that matter.
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. 😐
lmao true
Yeah they forget how patient PC gamers are, we have no problem waiting 1 year for exclusive games.
imo if u have a 20 series card ur fine anyways
they have enough card give out to youtuber
I don't really spend too long hunting either. But if I have an opportunity to race for one, I would.
Some 3080’s just dropped
honestly I am waiting for 3080 20gb
a 10gb card is not a big enough upgrade to justify
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
at least for my use case
3070 restock gogogogo
Youtuber count doesn't effect these stocks
ill get a 30 series card once i can get it from a non garbage brand
@velvet nebula i think you mean f5
It's crypto miners
This is not exactly new, pretty much same thing happened for 1000 series launch
“Non garbage brand”
ouch
@gritty notch gigabyte is best gpu brand
Yeah

And arguably best mobo brand
They sold directly to them too.
fe
that's bad PR for nvidia to sell to miners, they could easily have sold all of them to gamers instantly
nvidia dont care
they got money
and its not like amd is actually serious competition
probably made more money from miners
Yeah, but... money.
I mean
prolly wont be for the next uhhh
nvidia green for a reason
Nvidia has always been selling to Miners
couple years
They did sell them for a markup to miners
Ya know I'm actually ok with selling to miners. At least they're going to use the card. It's the scalpers who irk me. 1/2 of them probably don't know what a GPU is.
Dang it. I got the 30700 combo in my cart and it sold out when I put my card in. LOL
They probably invested in crypto anyway so for them it's a win win
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
In general I would say companies can sell to whomever they please, it is just surprising to me that the additional profit outweighed the negative pr
Realistically, my 1080ti is going to have to keep chugging until AT LEAST the end of winter the way supply is going...
So they did restock the 3080 but couldn't get one
is rtx 3090 worth 1500$
nope
Managed to snag a 3080 POG
nah lmao
Kept hitting add to cart on those combos, but shit.. Kept getting the extra item, not the 3080 at all
Damn you lucky
3090 will be obsolete in like 5 months max
I feel ya. I had a 3060ti in my cart. Had just come back to the card after logging into the PayPal and got the "This item isn't available anymore" message.
when nvidia release 3080 ti
no
ok yes
but rtx 3090 is cool
500$ extra dollars for 5+ fps
3090 doesn't even get titan drivers
I was literally gonna get a 5700xt yesterday, had no GPU for my dead pc. Keep grinding, people T_T
wait for the 3080 TI if you need more Vram
like it is so hard to justify
and extra vram
3080 is $700. So a 3090 is a 10-15% performance increase plus SLI-capability, for more than DOUBLE the price.
almost like 3090 isnt for gaming
And SLI is dead
do they start the restocking process every night at 6pm central?
I can see where a 3090 would be useful for people who do a lot of rendering...3d modeling, animation, CAD, and the like.
well without Titan drivers it's not ready for lots of workstation applications either
just also happens to be the best gaming card out there because nvidia makes the best gaming cards
lmaooo
oof
@rose adder good for AI still
3090 is for people who want bragging rights, realistically. Just to brag and say, I got it.
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
Anyway, I'm done. Took an hour off my game to try and snag a 3080, didn't work.
yeah the vram is good for ai, but I am waiting for 3080 ti
Ouch. That's like the Gigabyte 3080 I briefly saw up on Amazon for twice its normal retail this morning.
True that
3080 20gb will be nearly identical ai performance for $500 less
like its just overall worse than amazon but the people here are nice
I've been trying since launch for a 3080 for my boyfriend - not even myself - and i'm so over it lmao
sameeee
I got my 5900x on launch day from newegg
no way I could get that from Amazon
not without writing a bot anyway
any idea how long it takes an order to go from processing to packing or whatever?
i just realized
Well idk, amazon's listing for the 5900X in Canada as the description of a T-shirt
by the time i will get my 400$ usd it'll christmas
says its machine washable

you can put whatever in the url
i want 3080
That's is the official page btw
all that matters is /dp/code
just wait for restock

supply is better than at launch at least
Description on the item still stays the same tho
@rose adder ur canadian?
I am
I don't think I would be using a 5900x if I were canadian
Well I just got one
ik I was just pointing out how the amazon urls work
yup but on that 5900x it's not an edited URL name it's the actual items description.
Scalper price for you
at this point 2.8k cad is a reasonable price for a 3090
honestly I am more mad at the people buying it at that price
yeah they are the ones that are letting these scalpers get away with it
I still haven't bought anything from a scalper I don't intend to do so.
same
look at this stream
trust me
why don't people just track stock themselves
yeah don't use your own computer
I know vpn and stuff
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
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
Reason: Bad word usage
oo
Scraper API is a web scraping API
that handles proxy rotation, browsers, and CAPTCHAs so developers can scrape any page with a single API call. Get started with 1000 free API calls!
didn't know this was a thing
too expensive though
more suited to scraping for actual data
Well Street Merchant is a open source program
huh
yeah so is nvidia snatcher
my payment got declined now it's processing again
I wrote the wrong code cause I was in a rush
they texted me and had me enter a confirm code
I didn't use my discover cause it would go over my credit limit
it says it'll ship on 12/7
gg
what did u end up getting?
but it is still in processing
what did you get?
3060ti
nice
it has the most stock
I just need it for machine learning, and I game in 1440p 144hz so it was the best choice
lmao Asus made a strix 3060 ti and it costs the same as a 3070
Yeah from what I've seen 3060 isn't as bad to get your hands on.
I saw 3060tis on ebay for more than some scalped 3070s
you can overclock the 3060ti to the 3070 performance
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
I won't overclock it
I don't need that much power
I have a 1060 6gb and it runs most games well enough
I find it a pain to activate my OC every time I just leave it on boost.
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
I might get cyberpunk if I get the 3060ti
that does look fun
I'm waiting for reviews
don't want a no man sky repeat
We don't talk about that game
it's good now though
It is
I just got a text from newegg that it charged my account
It's really good now, ye
What was even wrong with that game
🤞
Everything at launch
when no man sky came out it had a bunch of bugs and no content
Overhyped and failed to deliver what they overhyped.
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
Overworked devs too
well no man sky is made by an indie studio
Well that's the game industry in general
I mean that doesn’t always equal a bad game though
Tight release schedule and no room to develop
Look at GTA V
Still an issue
Yeah definitely
same
I'm still in university but I got a professor to let me do ML research under him
oh cool
Should i get rtx 2060s or rx 5700 xt
yeah I am an undergrad also
I want to train a model to play cuphead for fun but just running the program will kill my 1060 let alone training it
I have an internship with one of the labs
5700xt if gameing, 2060 if you plan on streaming
that's a lot better than me
Which one if i want to do both
3060ti
my first project involved writing machine learning model
they just told me that if I'm willing to learn it on my own they'll help me with the rest
Dang, more ML people. I just recently got into a ML project under a professor from my uni's engineering department.
2060
3060ti sold out everywhere 😭
I don't start till January.
nice
well then go with the 2060
Computer Engineer
I'm Comp Sci
I'm a computer engineer
computer engineer gang
all my friends are mechanical with one electrical
It gets restocked alot tho just keep an eye out
so I have no computer friends irl 😢
LOL I know a lot of my comp sci homies.
I haven't taken a lot of comp science classes
Mine just decided to purchase PCs all at once
my data structures professor literally streams lecture on Twitch and has a Discord server
pretty cool
I'm still a freshman so I got super lucky with this
he keeps up with the zoomers
dang
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
wow already doing research as a freshman
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
Yeah, I got lucky my freshmen year too, but my professor didn't know what he wanted with Front-End work. :v
yeah... I just talked to the right person at the wrong time
for analog systems I got a free lab kit
I talked to the TA after an exam while my friends were waiting for me
usb oscilliscope, breadboard, and a bunch of components
so at home labs were actually not bad
did you get a bunch of resistors too?
I get confused as to what resistance to put
wdym
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
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
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
our instructor sent us test signals to see if our circuit worked
one of them was rick roll
smh
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
yeah the prof just said the price wasn't worth it for him
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
but that is a weak argument considering how little sales consoles have
lmao
its practically useless without the tensor cores
one of my friends got a 5700xt at launch and regrets now that he wants to do ml stuff
he wasn't doing ai at the time
ah
probably not a very forward thinking purchase for a computer science major though
does ML even need a lot of VRAM?
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
well yeah but I doubt I could pull that off
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
doing models for AI to learn how to play games would be better done locally wouldn't it?
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
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
8gb is still enough for most things
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
heh! I'd sub to that Twitch channel for sure. :p
That or Super Meat Boy.
anything that isn't too demanding to run
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
that would be doable with cuphead since it isn't very demanding to run
but my coding skills aren't that high
Slow or not it's a good project.
Meh. My first coding language was Pascal. From there I was able to learn Perl, Java, C/C++, Python you name it.
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
Oh well that's no surprise. Java is a pain.
I liked java
Blech. :p
but whenever I had a problem I would run to my professors office hours
Too much boilerplate to do stuff.
he'd instantly know the issue
You should check out Go.
saved me a lot of trouble
Well that's helpful for sure.
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.
the prof let me use atom instead
Atom rocks.
and then showed me how to run scripts in atoms cause I didn't know
It's such a shame that MS basically letting it die off.
so I switched to vs code for my mac as well
Good plan. VSCode is good. I like it. A little too much VisualStupido for me, but solid.
its the extensions
Atom has (had) the same, but once MS bought GitHub they put VSCode over Atom.
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
That's smart.
Oh yeah. While back.
must be why I haven't heard about it
lol
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.
but some people can ruin your day when they just expect you to fix it magically
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
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.
oh wow tiny school but prisons...
I mean gotta get dat tuition money.
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
she put in 3 tickets within an hour and I solved 2/3 cause she just messed them up
Noice.
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...
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
