graphics-cards

[split storm]

or do they have special combo stock

[sick turtle]

Special combo stock from what I noticed

[verbal girder]

combo stock

[split storm]

oh ok

[ripe ivy]

If I'm not mistaken that might be a method to weed out bots

[sick turtle]

^

[split storm]

it kinda is but I think the bots are just buying combos now?

probably lol

[ripe ivy]

They sure might be if they catch wind of it

[sick turtle]

Idk hard to tell

[split storm]

everytime the combos are in stock, at least for me they go out of stock instantly

[sick turtle]

Yeah demand is high

[cinder grove]

they became out of stock like 0.01 sec

[sick turtle]

Well I was pretty sloppy when the 3080 Strix I bought came in stock but definitely still under 10 sec.

[frigid hound]

is it worth paying more for a 5600xt 6gb than a 5500xt 8 gb?

[ripe ivy]

The 5600XT is like I think 35% faster maybe more, so yeah I mean depending on the price absolutely

[frigid hound]

Is there a big difference between the 6gb and 8gb vram?

[ripe ivy]

The 5500XT is pretty much the RX 480 again for the 3rd time, but I guess it's a little bit faster than stock speeds

[split storm]

potential restock coming up soon?

[ripe ivy]

Well the Vram capacity doesn't dictate speed, but I will say the card is not nearly fast enough to utilize that much Vram for modern titles and going forward

[frigid hound]

Ok thanks

[glad sigil]

Is it only combo restock?

[sick turtle]

Yes

[nocturne condor]

Didn't see it come in

[cedar nimbus]

i guess combos are a way for them to unload slow-selling products

[terse bloom]

That and some bots only search single items, and not combos

So it takes away "some" of the bots out. Not all, but "some"

Refreshing the 3080 combos, but not seeing any in stock yet

[sick turtle]

You can also return the unwanted product after receiving it, no restocking fee if you don’t open them, just have to pay shipping but it beats scalper prices.

[nocturne condor]

Were never going to get this card gah

[split storm]

Apparently the 3060 went in stock and sold out already

but they never appeared as being in stock on my end

[candid geyser]

do founders editions cards restock after the initial drop or is it like a one and some type thing?

[sick turtle]

The window is pretty much closed for today

[candid geyser]

done*

[split storm]

why do they keep doing drops like this when it doesn't really help anything

[cold parrot]

I got the 3060 ti today from bestbuy

i actually bought 2 different varients and canceled one

[crude dust]

I got my 3080 and 90 from Microcenter

[cold parrot]

they were instock for like 10 minutes

[normal skiff]

has newegg dropped yet?\

[cold parrot]

rtx bot went crazy today

[sick turtle]

There are signs that they’re trying

[cold parrot]

got the founders edition

without much of a hassle

[normal skiff]

they tweeted but it hasnt dropped yet

[cold parrot]

and i even had to wait to get my payment verified before hand

[loud yarrow]

dropped already

[cinder grove]

is the msi suprim bigger than the rog guys?

[sick turtle]

3060ti seems to have a steady drop rate.

[tribal hedge]

The Suprim X seems to be a weird card imo.

[cold parrot]

it was the best to get today from bestbuy lol

[sick turtle]

No

[cold parrot]

so many people got one

[split storm]

I tried bestbuy today but their website was so broken for me

[sick turtle]

It isn’t bigger

[tribal hedge]

Best Buy recently put in some more anti-bot measures

[split storm]

wouldn't load and kept throwing errors when i tried to buy stuff

[tribal hedge]

So it should slowly become easier to buy from them

[normal skiff]

been on the store since 6:55 and never saw newegg restock also didnt see alert on drop notifier

[dawn plover]

smh

[split storm]

it was a stealth restock

[cold parrot]

I mean i bought 2 different types of 3060tis today and canceled one i think it is easier to buy

[split storm]

easier for you I guess

[tribal hedge]

I know Newegg is doing a lot of 3070 combo deals

[split storm]

i've been trying to buy them for weeks and can't ever get past adding them to cart

[fickle sequoia]

welp, I got my gtx 1060 ti with 3 fans today, and sadly my case is too small xD

[cold parrot]

lol

im here with a laptop and a 1050ti in it

that's underperforming and gets hot af

[analog magnet]

did the 3080's even drop today?

[loud yarrow]

yeah, had a strix in my cart

then it got snatched

[normal skiff]

bro i didnt see anything drop on newegg tf?

[tribal hedge]

I know some Xtreme waterforces were released

[analog magnet]

absolutely nothing ever popped over to add to cart for me today 😦

[cinder grove]

i don't see the 3080 strix combo

[tribal hedge]

But unless if you’re doing a water cooled build, you wouldn’t buy it

[loud yarrow]

i dont see it anymore either for some reason

but im pretty sure it was this one

[verbal girder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ZrN-m7VJA some nice background music while gfx card hunting

[analog magnet]

At least I didn't get my hopes up by seeing something in my cart only to be snatched away before completing check out like the last few weeks have been

[cold parrot]

I totally missed the first 3060ti launch btw lol

[tribal hedge]

3070’s are getting restocked, it seems

So.

[cold parrot]

same with 3060tis

[tribal hedge]

Definitely

[cold parrot]

i think that 12 varients restocked

today

[tribal hedge]

Those are the easiest to get.

[cold parrot]

shouldn't they be the hardest

due to demand for it being so cheap

[tribal hedge]

Then if you have actual money, the 3090 is ironically the 2nd most active card

And no, it’s the silicon.

For Ampere, low quality silicon (ie. For things like 3070’s and 3060ti’s) are easier to find and produce.

[loud yarrow]

i dont think miners are going for the 3060ti right?

[tribal hedge]

They’re going for 3080’s

[nocturne condor]

Id sadly shell out for the 3090 at this point

[loud yarrow]

thats what i figured

[candid geyser]

What’s the best 3070 card alternative to a founders edition?

[tribal hedge]

Same tbh

Uh

[split storm]

the 3060 combos instantly sold out so idk whats going

[tribal hedge]

Idk, tbh

[lone pond]

stockdrops discord is out for me lol, rip my chances at a card

[fervent obsidian]

tuf models are good but the 3070 tuf is like 560

[tribal hedge]

I haven’t looked at much of 3070’s

[split storm]

maybe everyone is getting tired of doing it manually and there are bots just buying things for people outside of scalping now lol

[candid geyser]

alright thanks

[tribal hedge]

I’ve always been interested in the 3080, 3090 and hopefully a 3080ti

[loud yarrow]

maybe we just hibernate until march

[tribal hedge]

So far?

Nvidia is winning this generation

Purely through stock.

[verbal girder]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali455/p/N82E16883360039?Item=N82E16883360039&Description=rtx 3070&cm_re=rtx_3070-_-83-360-039-_-Product pc with 3070 available here for a few mins now

[tribal hedge]

We only just got a restock of RX 6800’ yesterday

[loud yarrow]

consoles are really screwing over amd stock apparently

[tribal hedge]

Yeah

Consoles are AMD’s #1 concern

[lone pond]

so christmas is getting close and I havent had any luck in getting a 3070 and want to put a good gpu for the same kind of price in, what would be a good option in y'all's opinion

[tribal hedge]

So we’re basically secondary priorities

[split storm]

on one restock bot stream, about half of the viewers never saw the cards even go in stock, I think newegg's site is getting really strained

[loud yarrow]

it took me like 30 seconds to refresh

[tribal hedge]

If I remember properly

AMD priority list goes like

[chrome vigil]

wtf is going on I never even saw it come in stock

[tribal hedge]

Consoles
Zen 2/3
Radeon GPU’s
Older products

[loud yarrow]

are they still producing polaris cards?

[vestal linden]

I saw nothing come to stock

[cold parrot]

doesnt nvidia have the best bang for the buck cards right now

[tribal hedge]

Basically

[cold parrot]

ah

rtx bot

[split storm]

3060ti is an amazing deal

[cold parrot]

went off

just now

[tribal hedge]

Also a female twitch streamer just got uh.

[loud yarrow]

DLSS is too gud

[split storm]

if you want like cheap card that performs well

[tribal hedge]

A PS5
3 3090’s

[cold parrot]

and it's gone

[tribal hedge]

I want it so bad oh my go

[nocturne condor]

Anymore 3080s coming tonight

[chrome vigil]

I saw that, who the hell bought that streamer 3 3090s

[split storm]

someone who really wants her to notice them I guess lol

[cold parrot]

LMAO

SIMP

[tribal hedge]

Nearly like

$5000 worth of graphics cards

[cold parrot]

like what tf would you need 3 of them for

[tribal hedge]

Then a PS5, so

[cold parrot]

more like 4.5k

[loud yarrow]

NVLINK

LOL

[tribal hedge]

Well include that they’re AIB models

[chrome vigil]

with taxes thats 5k sheeesh

[nocturne condor]

Damn i should stream haha

[tribal hedge]

They’re FTW3 and ROG Strix cards

[cold parrot]

plus the money spent for shipping to her

[tribal hedge]

Y’know like.

The best 3090’s, excluding the 3090 Xtreme

[chrome vigil]

a streamer got a 3070 for feet pics today

[loud yarrow]

bruh

[chrome vigil]

on twitter

its a crazy world out here

[nocturne condor]

Wow

[tribal hedge]

So let’s talk about this uh

2 FTW3’s and an ROG Strix

[nocturne condor]

Hold on setting up stream :p

[tribal hedge]

Nearly 5 Grand. Including taxes, and a PS5

So over 5 and a half grand

[loud yarrow]

dude might as well get an escort or something if he wants to simp that bad lmao

[cold parrot]

I got the 3060ti founders just because of its looks and matching with my case

[chrome vigil]

its kinda pathetic

@cold parrot did you just get it off the recent drop?

[cold parrot]

it's fineeeeee

[chrome vigil]

wait no

[tribal hedge]

The 3060ti is pretty good.

[cold parrot]

no

it was this morning

[chrome vigil]

oh from best buy right?

[tribal hedge]

Literally $100 less then the 3070 for an incredible bargain

[cold parrot]

yea

and performs higher than a 2080 super

[chrome vigil]

me and my friend have been trying to get one for a while

[cold parrot]

which is a bargain

[chrome vigil]

its just pain.

[tribal hedge]

It gets dangerously close to the 2080ti lmfao

[loud yarrow]

I think bestbuy is the best option

but i can never wake up early enough

[chrome vigil]

he tried this morning already

[cold parrot]

if you're there when they release

[chrome vigil]

do they do announcements?

or do they just drop

[cold parrot]

it was up for like 10 minutes

[tribal hedge]

3060ti just got restocked.

[cold parrot]

bot rtx does aannouncements on their discord

i got like 15 notifications of different restocks

this morning

[tribal hedge]

Bro

[chrome vigil]

i've been refreshing since 4 and nothings appeared

[tribal hedge]

I got bombarded with Black 6800 notifications last night

[nocturne condor]

oo really? can u send me a link to that discord @cold parrot ?

[chrome vigil]

same here ^

[cold parrot]

there i dmed yall

[chrome vigil]

never got it

ill friend you

[nocturne condor]

You are the mvp

[chrome vigil]

i might have the friends only thing

thanks'

[tribal hedge]

At least ampere cards are becoming more and more available

[cold parrot]

true

[tribal hedge]

Which’ll force scalper prices to drop

[normal skiff]

i tried bestbuy today I got them in my cart ultiple times but they werent available anywhere on the east coast so I had it sent to a store in Iowa (im in NY) and called to see if they could send it to my local store but they denied me so I had to cancel the order :?

[nocturne condor]

Damn that was a good idea though

[normal skiff]

just a heads up someone dm'd me and let me know its possible to change locations through the virrtual assistant. Too late for me but a heads up for you guys

[iron schooner]

so, newegg lied and didn't release any 3080s with the link they provided. nice.

[nocturne condor]

Wow

[normal skiff]

I swear there were no 3060's either no way I could have refreshed any faster than I did

[verbal girder]

you need a higher ... refresh... rate monitor chuckle

[normal skiff]

smh

[fading cape]

@iron schooner - Same issue, the link on Twitter didn't link to the 3080s that were in stock

Was there a link in here to the ones that were coming back in stock?

[normal skiff]

well at least newegg is pretty consistent they should restock again tomorrow same time

[tired turtle]

how often does BB drop? it feels like once a week

[normal skiff]

theyre so random I honestly have no clue

[robust pike]

They drop pretty often,if not daily. They usually have timed drops that you can of get an understanding once you spend enough time noticing

[gusty cave]

If someone has overclocked a gpu should you still buy it off them?

[dawn plover]

depends

[verbal girder]

years ago i bought an AMD R9-290 on ebay. the seller said it was overclocked and used as part of an ethereum-mining operation. never had any problems with it

[dawn plover]

if it's factory overclocked, you should be fine

[gusty cave]

It’s a 2070 super gigabyte windforce OC

[verbal girder]

should be fine ... i think all modern cards shut off well before any permanent heat damage can be caused

[prime bane]

Guys is that true that i can take a rtx combo and return the thing that comes with the gpu?

[cobalt hedge]

Yes but you have to pay for shipping

Seriously, whoever the @#$ is at newegg that lets you add it to your cart but doesn't reserve it needs to get flogged and then fired. Can't beat bots speed through checkout.

[dawn plover]

sell the other thing on ebay

[dawn plover]

bruh that'll jus break the system, it's not exactly a shopping cart when buying online

[cobalt hedge]

bruh, it won't break anything. You reserve it for 2 minutes.

[dawn plover]

ahhh

[prime bane]

Im not from us so the stock stays a little bit longer and the shipping in so fu*** much

[cobalt hedge]

Only way to have a chance against bots

[dawn plover]

is to create your own

[cedar nimbus]

they should really either add CAPTCHA to the checkout process or an email confirmation step to the checkout process. i believe Best buy has an email confirmation step during checkout to thwart bots.

[verbal girder]

i had to do a captcha when i tried to add a card to my cart ...

[dawn plover]

bruh but then they'll jus tweak the bots to get past em

[fluid bolt]

thought bots dont work well on newegg

assumed it was people with fast fingers

[lone pond]

Dont you love when bots Poach 3000 cards in one day

[fervent oasis]

Some day.. i'll get a new card to pair with my 5600x that I managed to get on launch day.

[limber patrol]

Some day.. I'll be able to afford a 5600x to pair with my 3060ti I managed to get on launch day.

[minor hazel]

Some day I’ll get a gpu that is in stock

[stable cypress]

some day they'll ship the gpu i pre-ordered

[echo pasture]

Some day there will be adequate consumer protections in place

[dawn plover]

i mean

consumers can create bots

but i doubt they will

[echo pasture]

You heard it here first write your own bot 4head

[rose adder]

amazon is pretty easy to write a bot for

if I hadn't gotten 5900x on launch I would have written one

at a certain point it's literally easier than sitting around all day clicking refresh

[echo pasture]

If the two options to purchase a product are to A: Check for availability every second when an alert goes off or B: learn a new skill set. Then there are without a doubt not adequate protections in place.

[karmic charm]

will a 2060 be a good pair with a 7 2700x

[loud yarrow]

i have a 2060S with a 2700x, runs things pretty well

[coarse spindle]

only a 4% bottleneck

on the GPU

thats rlly good

[lone pond]

Bottleneck calculator?

[coarse spindle]

yea

[lone pond]

Don't use that site

It is pretty unreliable.

[coarse spindle]

has checked out for me in the past

plus that looks right

[lone pond]

Anyway should do fine
Actually most ryzen with 6 cores do fine with most gpus
Aslong you have fast ram for the zen/zen+

should i buy a nvidia card or a amd card

im quite cofused

[lone pond]

Depends.

[lone pond]

wat du u mean

??

Nvidia side has more features

Amd is more about raw power.

@lone pond nah never mind im just gonna wait for the 3080 ti

besides tha has more power

Alright i guess

Maybe

[coarse spindle]

is that confirmed?

[lone pond]

if u go to seasonics website

power... something

iforgot

Seasonic doesn't make gpus well...

Cards

[lone pond]

power estmation

For now it is just a rumor.

[karmic charm]

will a 2060 be a good pair with a 7 2700x

[lone pond]

We already told you.

[karmic charm]

didnt see that sorry

[lone pond]

Anyway
Yes

Mate
Any 6/8 cores will do fine with most gpus(this does not apply to old xeons or FX)

Aslong it have HT

Oh nvm
The 3080 ti seems to be confirmed

Partially

[wicked zenith]

Could I ask a more technical-issue-related question, or is that better put someplace else?

[lone pond]

Yep, you can ask as this is gpu related channel

[lone pond]

yeah u can i will try to answer ur questions

[wicked zenith]

Running a Ryzen7 2700x, an RX 580, 16GB of RAM. Been running this rig for almost a year, everythings been great. Had an issue a few days ago with a Windows update, had to reinstall the OS completely. Did that yesterday, chipset/gpu/etc drivers are all installed, everything seems good. Issue is - When I have FFXIV open in borderless windowed mode, and set as the active window, my other monitors drop significantly in frames.

For example, playing a video on my left most monitor with XIV in the center.. XIV is the active window, video on the left is very choppy. Select the video window, and it smoothes out instantly.

I've disabled hardware acceleration, and am using the 'new' Edge.

[fast torrent]

i fall into both camps i make a this wont crash on me oc first then go ham for performance just trying to get my benches to run all the way through and get that big number score

sounds like the window is in low priority @wicked zenith that's the same thing that happens on a single monitor display when a program is unfocused and behind another

is it a FFXIV only problem

[wicked zenith]

I haven't tested with another game yet. Or browser. I don't generally play a whole lot of graphics-intensive games to test it with.. hm.

Might have one, hold that thought.

THIS WHAT HAPPEND TO ALL THE GPUS

people are stealing them from the factory

[wild quest]

because ppl are selfish

and ppl want to steal to make money

and scalp

[hybrid pebble]

What guys, I stumbled upon something and it worried me. the sapphire 5600xt says its has a 1 x 8 pin but i dont think my powersupply has that

[rapid moon]

wdym

[hybrid pebble]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/618457/sapphire-technology-radeon-rx-5600-xt-pulse-overclocked-dual-fan-6gb-gddr6-pcie-40-graphics-card

[rapid moon]

the 8 pin is literary a standard in psus

[wild quest]

people dont like working for money, so when they see an easy way out cough stealing cough theyl steal

[hybrid pebble]

for thermal and power it says 1 x 8 pin

[wild quest]

whats yr PSU?

[hybrid pebble]

my psu says it has 2 x 6 pins (x2)

powerspec 650w

[wild quest]

non-modular?

[hybrid pebble]

semi

[wild quest]

theres an adapter thingy you can get that makes 2x6pin into a single 8 pin

[lone pond]

Every modern psu have atleast 1x8

[wild quest]

ye usually

[lone pond]

Also powerspec? Never heard of it

[wild quest]

some lowerzend psus dont tho

[verbal girder]

the powerspec 650w has two "6+2"-pin's

so youre fine

[hybrid pebble]

how does that work

[wild quest]

powerspec sounds like the bomb literally

[lone pond]

Yeah...but atleast a white or bronze certified psu should have.

[verbal girder]

you just connect them together the same way you would connect a 20+4-pin into a 24pin motherboard

[hybrid pebble]

so wait

[wild quest]

this one?

[hybrid pebble]

6+ 2 is like 6 x1 and 2x1

and yea that is it i think

i havent opened box

[wild quest]

the red one

[verbal girder]

6+2 is a 6 and a 2... combined... makes 8 lol

[hybrid pebble]

so 6 + 2 is 8 x 1?

[verbal girder]

yes

[hybrid pebble]

just split

so im good?

[verbal girder]

yup

[wild quest]

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-6-Pin-Female-8-Pin-Cable/dp/B00M49SELW

somthing like this

[hybrid pebble]

oh okay thats a relief almost died of anxiety

[hybrid pebble]

is this just for cable management or

[lone pond]

There is a pcie connection on that psu though

[hybrid pebble]

is that bad?

[verbal girder]

not for cable management... its just for really old psu's that only have a 6 pin

[hybrid pebble]

oh i see

well imma try the 6 + 2 and if it doesnt work i g i have to buy the adapter

[hybrid pebble]

well first i gotta buy the 5600xt 😦

out of stock

[verbal girder]

this is a pic from your PSU on amazon... that red plug is the 6+2

[wild quest]

yeah

[hybrid pebble]

😳 wait so am i not good?

[verbal girder]

no ur good.. lol

[wild quest]

yeah your good

[fickle sequoia]

Feels bad man, my 3 fans 3060ti won't fit in my case

[wild quest]

im just confirming what trevor said

[wild quest]

f

[hybrid pebble]

😢 this is very difficult

they always talk about how ez building a pc is but nvr how hard it is to get the parts

[fickle sequoia]

I figured since my gtx 670 fit, it would be fine, but no. it's like 24mm bigger lol

[wild quest]

FACTS

[lone pond]

@hybrid pebble https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/500101029157797899/786063608987254804/485312_402404_01_front_zoom.png is the psu atleast that model?

You can just connect the pcie to the gpu

[wild quest]

@fickle sequoia this is also an option

[hybrid pebble]

it has a cool looking box so i think

[rapid moon]

thats from bitwet kmao

kmao

l,ao

[wild quest]

It it lmao

[rapid moon]

lmao

[hybrid pebble]

thank you guys tho this gave me a mini heartheart

[lone pond]

You can open it and check
The easy way

[fickle sequoia]

my option would be to cut the dvd lower case part with a electric cutter

[rapid moon]

i keep on hiting k

[fickle sequoia]

or just buy a new case tomorrow

I like option two more.

[minor hazel]

Should I get a 1660 super or a 2060?

[hard wren]

1660S

or a 2060S no 2060

[wooden eagle]

3070 or 3060ti

[hard wren]

does money matter?

[wooden eagle]

no

[hard wren]

3070 is better....

[wooden eagle]

close range tho

150$ difference

[hard wren]

I'd say its worth the extra $150

not sure how you are going to find either one but I wish you luck

[tribal hedge]

It’s actually $100 difference

Where are you getting your 3070 from?

[hard wren]

I think thats the rub

[tribal hedge]

*tuf

[minor hazel]

what about the rx 5500 xt? i keep hearing mix reviews about it wanna see what some of yall think

[tribal hedge]

It’s

ok.

I’d recommend the 5600xt, but you do you

[verbal girder]

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_value.html
based on g3dmark scores so not 100% real-world accurate, but close

[minor hazel]

eh think imma go with the rtx 2060

[hard wren]

@minor hazel I would do a 2060super or a 1660super instead

[minor hazel]

ah ill be looking to actually see if they are in stock

[hard wren]

I also wouldnt do a 5500xt but a 5600xt would be in the running

[minor hazel]

eh im more leaning to the 2060/2060 super and the 1660 super

[hard wren]

no problem my advice then is to lean even further towards the 2060super and 1660super and away from the 2060 lol

[minor hazel]

ight bet now time to found some that are actually in stock

[cinder stump]

What's the ideal Full GPU Load temps mine are around 66 degrees celcius

[hard wren]

@minor hazel I would hit the auto notify on this one https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-2060-super-08g-p4-3067-kr/p/N82E16814487460?&quicklink=true

[verbal girder]

mine gets up to 76º C

[hard wren]

@cinder stump depends on the GPU

[cinder stump]

oh true

[hard wren]

66c is not an issue for any card so thats good 😉

[cinder stump]

sweet thanks

[clear frigate]

Is a 1070 ti for 225 a good deal?

[livid yarrow]

yes thats a really good deal

its better than the 1660 super which is like 230 dollars

[clear frigate]

What about a 1080ti for 325

Have someone I know selling some of their extra cards and I'm not sure what would really be better as a temp card

[dusk oasis]

What about a 1080ti for 325
@clear frigate 3060ti for 400

only there a little problem

stock😢😢

[clear frigate]

Yeah

That's why I thought the 1070 ti or just the regular 1070 they have might be the play if they still have them

[terse bloom]

1080ti is probably pretty close to 3060ti..

I mean, 3060ti is only 25% better than a 1080.. So a 1080ti is probably just as good as 3060ti without RT, or maybe 10% less performance than 3060ti?

[clear frigate]

Obviously if stock was not an issue 3060 would be better just cuz the rtx and 10 percent for around the same price

1070 vs 1660 is where I was curious if it was Worth considering

[terse bloom]

But with stock being an issue, I wouldn't mind making that sacrifice. I mean, I already bought i9-10850k cause the i9-10900k was out of stock, and the 10850 was like $50 cheaper and only 5% worse?

[clear frigate]

Yeah not a bad trade off

[terse bloom]

Yeah, just checked, 3060ti only has 10% more FPS than a 1080ti.

[clear frigate]

But also I'm planning on upgrading when possible so the 1070 ti might be the schmove for cost as a temp card

[clear frigate]

Well I'm aiming for a 6800xt

Not a 3060ti

[terse bloom]

You are. I mean, for people who want a 3060ti, but can't get it. Help your "someone you know" sell their extra cards.

You gotta learn to upsell, negotiate, and smooth talk to sell stuff for your friends.

But yeah, I'm only aiming for RTX 3080. That's it. No less, no more. I already have a 1080, so if I'm gonna upgrade, I'm aiming for double the FPS.

[clear frigate]

Can't no selling in the server or I'd advertise it

[terse bloom]

Right.

Well, anyway, this is why I want a 3080. Double the performance.

[lone pond]

best gpu for ryzen 5 2600x within $300 cad?

[minor hazel]

2600x is pretty good I went with the 5 3600x

[random pebble]

@terse bloom you do realize you wont get double the fps if you got a 1080ti right......

[terse bloom]

I never said I had a 1080ti?

I have a MSI 1080 Gaming X. Not a TI.

Unless you're talking about when I was talking with Generic about his buddy trying to sell a 1080ti

But honestly, this is like the 4th time, when I say I have a 1080, and someone thinks I have a 1080ti. I got my 1080 4 years ago, July of 2016, on Amazon for $775 back then

[clear frigate]

Dang that makes 325 look real good

[haughty crescent]

Sometimes while I’m playing games, like every five minutes ish I wanna say, my pc with stutter like 3 times for like 2 seconds and then stop for another 5 mins. Could this be because of my cpu or gpu. I notice it mostly in overwatch. I run a 144 monitor and cap at 200 frames. I have a 3700x and 1660 ti. I heard enabling vsync can fix this, is that true?

[terse bloom]

Well, $729.99 but gotta pay tax too. So it came out around 775 from Amazon.
Right now, I just looked at it again, Third Party Sellers on Amazon are selling my exact same card for $859 new, or $899 or $999 used (Used is more expensive than new lol)

[fossil talon]

Alright when my Gigabyte Vision 3080 arrives should I sell it or keep it? Running a 3070FE right now.

When I mean sell, I mean sell at MSRP and tax, not overkill prices

[remote cargo]

tbh if your thinking of selling sell the 3070, it’s gonna be higher in demand and you get to keep the better card

anyone know if the 3060 ti ftw3 has dual bios

it doesn’t mention it on their site

[clear frigate]

Dual bios?

[remote cargo]

like the asus cards

a little switch or something that changes between quit fans and performance

[copper mason]

I would reckon pretty much any GPU you wish to buy should be fine, used or new. It's hard to go wrong, but more VRAM is always a good thing when seeing choices. If you should seem to be limited by the CPU and not the GPU in any scenario, just tick up the graphics options or the resolution you're running at (provided you have a monitor to support the resolution), until the use balances out. Look up reviews and benchmarking on youtube and have a look to see what works best on the games you play.
If you run DX11 or older games, consider getting a 5600x (if your motherboard supports this) if performance is held back too much, as DX11 often is limited to single-core speeds VS DX12 / Vulkan which has multi-threaded rendering (the CPU must always tell the GPU what to do and when to do it, thousands upon thousands of times per frame, dozens of times per second, try to pick up DX12 or Vulkan games for best performance on a modern system with lots of cores).

[copper mason]

I've got a 7.5 year old Asus Direct CU II Radeon card in the computer I let my niece play Minecraft on, it still purrs quite well. Asus makes a card + cooler that will last, and it runs cool and quiet also. I've never had any issues with ASUS GPU's (though they have put out a stinker now and then like any brand), and it's easy to clean, too.

[copper mason]

If you can wait a few months for supply issues to iron out, and Nvidia to 'hit back at AMD' with higher VRAM equipped cards, you'll likely have a card that will have a longer useful lifespan. Now that cards are out by AMD with 16gb, and Nvidia's own 3090 (and to a lesser extent, the 1080Ti and 2080Ti with 11gb of VRAM), games may start using more than 10gb can offer. I'd try to hold out for something with 16gb or more, but in the end it is your money and I can't (and politely won't) tell you what to do with it. I do content creation for a modern yet-to-be-finished game engine and let me tell you, building an open-world sized city in a game and sticking within 8gb of VRAM is very very difficult unless you don't mind mud textures.

[lone pond]

Ah ok thankyou!

[remote cargo]

The Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.

should I be worried

it says this in my pcparts list

[terse bloom]

Well, one, it's a good thing I typically don't like open world games.

[remote cargo]

I’m trying to get a ftw3 3060 ti

[terse bloom]

I'm very "linear", so I don't play games like Fallout or GTA.

And even though I want a 3080, to double my FPS for when I play Destiny 2, I'm also holding back on it due to financial reasons, including a government mandated shut down that's leaving me currently on unemployment.

So I'm already waiting anyway

But anyway, I'm surprised you decided to comment and reply to that. When I was just making a comparison of prices from 2016 to now.

[fossil talon]

Nah as long as you don't oc your cpu and stuff. Basically the motherboard has 3 power inputs: main ATX, 8 pin, and 4 pin. You only need main ATX cable to run it but if you want OC and some extra power draw a 8 pin/4pin additional connector is needed. (I have the Asus ROG B550-A :))

[icy shard]

What would you guys recommed for a gpu paired with a R7 2700x

preferably a 30 series

[cobalt star]

3070

[lone pond]

I have a 2060 should I get the 3060?

I want to play cyberpunk but I feel like it won’t be smooth

2060 doesn’t run Cyberpunk smoothly ?

that surprises me

try it first when it releases

Okay

[vestal dock]

SCORE!!

manage to snag one

[lone pond]

Ooop

as you should!!

Periodt

[vestal dock]

dunno if it's much of an upgrade from 2x1080's

cause everything was already max

[lone pond]

I think it is

Because some games don’t use crossfire

[vestal dock]

anyone know if the new radeons will be Xfire?

you mean sli

[lone pond]

That

😗

[vestal dock]

i would assume that the new radeons can be xfire

[lone pond]

I feel like xfire is or

I feel like if you’re going to buy two of the gpus get a 3090 or titan

[vestal dock]

i do game dev so the ram is what I was after

3090 is overprices for a small amount of ram and not even double power

xfire would be 16gb * 2 with that ram sync stuff

i'm going to have a bit of a think

[lone pond]

I’m not sure if this is considered game Dev but I like making game designs on blender and uploading them on roblox (it’s like a sandbox) and program the objects or players with lua

[vestal dock]

yeah

that's classed as modding

[elder sandal]

aeeeaa

[vestal dock]

85-140 fps in 7d2d which is about 30 fps more

that's some what disappointing

2x1080s i think was getting 60-80

[lone pond]

Is there an issue with control and cyberpunk

[vestal dock]

i am using a 6700k though

so i'm bottlenecked

[lone pond]

There’s literal websites saying with a 2060 you would run 40-70 FPS in those games

I have a ryzen 1700x over clocked I’m not an intel fan so I don’t know what that means

[vestal dock]

let me see what i get in doom

200-300fps

up from 140-165fps

[lone pond]

Damm

It’s says the rtx 2060 will run at 55 FPS at 1440p I’m going to play 1080p anyways

At high setting

[vestal dock]

yeah the cards pretty good

[lone pond]

Yeah I’ll upgrade next year

Well next gen

[violet kestrel]

waiting for my 3070 to arrive tm

whats the best 3070

[lone pond]

I heard the TUF card is one of the best

[lone pond]

It is the best

for the 3070 and 3080 but idk about the 3090

[sick turtle]

The Tuf is the best MSRP and fantastic cooling but the best overall is the Strix.

[lone pond]

[sick turtle]

Supposed to get mine today, right in time for cyberpunk.

[barren hull]

Which Grahics Card is better: NVIDIA GeForce 3080, or AMD Radeon 6800XT

Which Grahics Card is better: NVIDIA GeForce 3080, or AMD Radeon 6800XT

[ornate narwhal]

Idk

[lone pond]

if i'm not wrong, there is no big difference, but 3080 is sliiightly faster than 6800 XT

like maybe 5-6% in frame rates

[fringe mural]

thats right, in detail comparison depends on a lot of factors... but in average 3080 is slightly better, thats why 3080 is slightly more expensive than 6800XT... both are great and will perform very well for next years.

[lone pond]

agreed

[fringe mural]

so pick the first one in stock 😆

[fluid star]

i would go for amd cuz have better ram cap and more ready for 4k than 3080

[spice prawn]

@fluid star source on that please?

[lone pond]

You need a source to understand high resolutions require high VRAM?

[fluid star]

so much dude i cant dig sources now

as u can see i didnt say better i said ready

[spice prawn]

and i would love to see anything that is not just "oh, i think it works like that"-based :)

[fluid star]

i can prove so easily but im too lazy for it now 😄

[drifting patio]

which is better, the aorus rtx 3090 xtreme, or the asus rog strix rtx 3090 oc

[hard wren]

rog strix

[drifting patio]

I knew it

thanks

[hard wren]

but its expensive lol

[drifting patio]

yea lol

im prob not gonna get it

[dusky magnet]

yea asus generally have the best cards

[drifting patio]

does asus have an rx 6900 xt

[dusky magnet]

they will i'd imagine

[hard wren]

at least the last 2 times EVGA was holding strong for a while

[dusky magnet]

yea

[drifting patio]

ugh i hate evga

[dusky magnet]

but the 2080 ti strix dominated

[drifting patio]

its nothing that bad just some personal stuff

cause my gpu is trash and its evga

[hard wren]

yeah they arent the best for customer service but neither is Asus lol

[drifting patio]

lol

[dusky magnet]

I never had a evga component

so cant relate

[drifting patio]

lol

[hard wren]

I have an evga 2080ti and evga aio right now no issues so far

[drifting patio]

i have an evga gtx 1050 ti and its rly not good

[dusky magnet]

yea guess you got unlucky rad

[hard wren]

I feel like the 1050ti is the problem not EVGA lol

[dusky magnet]

yea the 1050 ti aint that good

[hard wren]

like even if it was a rog strix 1050ti it would still suck...

[dusky magnet]

a strix 1050 ti sounds like something even asus wouldn't make

[hard wren]

not that they make such a thing

[spice prawn]

and how exactly does that prove that its more "ready"?

[drifting patio]

its not good at all

cant even run minecraft at 100fps

[hard wren]

the 3090 is just as ready if not more ready for 4k gaming than the 6900xt in my opinion

[spice prawn]

1050ti was a decent gpu for laptops when it was announced

[dusky magnet]

rly? whats your cpu than the 1050 ti can easily run mc

[fluid star]

some games cant opening on 4k with 3080 cuz of vram cap

[dusky magnet]

at 100+

[fluid star]

thats how

[drifting patio]

i got the amd ryzen 7 3700x

[spice prawn]

which exact games are that?

[drifting patio]

but 8 gigs of 3000mhz ram and a 7200rpm hdd

[fluid star]

dude i got tired of beat u btw

[dusky magnet]

huh well your cpu is stronger than my friends he has a 1600af so you might have a bottleneck idk

[fluid star]

if i remember i ll just type

[drifting patio]

yea im in the middle of upgrading things

[fluid star]

also u can check on web also

[spice prawn]

what is going to be very interesting is how the IC scales

[fluid star]

2021 btw

[barren hull]

which grahics card does better in minecraft? the 3080 or 6800xt

[drifting patio]

im planning on getting the asus rog strix rtx 3070

[spice prawn]

@fluid star so far, all i have seen is vauge "i told you, so you have to believe me" statements. Nothing that actually answers the question.

[drifting patio]

and the samsung 980 pro

[hard wren]

plus its kind of weird to post a chart where it is getting beat by 0.2 fps and saying that matters lol

[barren hull]

which grahics card does better in minecraft? the 3080 or 6800xt

[spice prawn]

because the hit rate seems to be impacted quite badly at higher res @hard wren

[fluid star]

i just post video for my thoghts

as i said

not "better" "ready"

[barren hull]

um

which grahics card gets the most fps in minecraft no rtx? the 3080 or 6800xt

fps

with no rtx

[hard wren]

On the plus side amd cards will most likely get better when they figure out the drivers lol

[barren hull]

which grahics card gets the most fps in minecraft no rtx? the 3080 or 6800xt

[spice prawn]

only if they can get the IC to play ball Nil

because all the vram aint going to help them if they cannot feed the gpu itself

[barren hull]

which grahics card gets the most fps in minecraft no rtx? the 3080 or 6800xt

[hard wren]

And I think we all agree it was a poor decision on Nvidias part to give the 3080 8gb instead of 11 or 12 but I they dont let me call shots

[barren hull]

which grahics card gets the most fps in minecraft no rtx? the 3080 or 6800xt

[spice prawn]

@barren hull any reason you are spamming your question?

[barren hull]

beacause you are not answering

[spice prawn]

i dont want to answer

[hard wren]

dont know

[barren hull]

😦

ok

[drifting patio]

probably the 3090 cause its stronger

[spice prawn]

we are not forced to answer your question.

[hard wren]

the 6900xt is about 35% less fps with rtx on than a 3080 but I have no idea about RTX off

[barren hull]

ok

[spice prawn]

wrong gpu model Nil

[drifting patio]

did java release rtx yet

[hard wren]

plus no one cares since you will have more than a 100 either way

oh well 6800xt would be worse

[fluid star]

rt performance so bad on amd rn compare to nvdia

[hard wren]

dont have any numbers for that

[fluid star]

but who actually cares ray tracing

[hard wren]

making them not look so stupid with the RT cores now

[barren hull]

i play java edition

and nvidia doesnt support raytracing on java edition

[hard wren]

and RTX is really good looking and I like it in games

[drifting patio]

idk if java has ray tracing yet tho

do they?

[barren hull]

no

maybe nvidia will add it soon

[drifting patio]

yea

hopefully

[spice prawn]

IF it turns out that the path in RT that nvidia is going turns out to be like the physx hardware back in the day...

[hard wren]

soon RTX will just be another given thing in graphics like remember physics

[dusky magnet]

only bedrock which almost less than 1% of the mc fan base play on

[spice prawn]

because right now, we really dont know which is the "smarter" way

RTX = nvidias version

[hard wren]

@spice prawn LOL funny we both thought of physics

[drifting patio]

and rx is amd's

[solid bluff]

What gpu should I get for a 2k usd build

[spice prawn]

they have not given theirs a name, its just following along on DXR @drifting patio, or?

[drifting patio]

idk liek a 2060 or 2070

oh

[solid bluff]

30 series cards are fine

[hard wren]

put an "s" on the end and I agree

2060s 2070s

[drifting patio]

yea

[solid bluff]

I have access to 30 series cards because I live by a place that always has them.

Only fe cards*

[hard wren]

and in Nvidias defense physx did work out in the end just not the way they thought it would and they did drive the direction of future graphics just like they are doing with RTX

we all have physx now

[spice prawn]

imagine how much further we could have been Nil, if they had not fought for years about API standards?

on the physics side that is

[hard wren]

oh yeah that is true

[green harness]

For 2,000 usd I'd guess a 3080, but that assumes a not inflated price and a gaming focused build w/o peripherals

[solid bluff]

700 is not inflated to yeah

[green harness]

You could also look at a 6800 or 6800xt

[solid bluff]

I guess I will get a 3080

All of the raedon cards are out of stock near me like everywhere else

[hard wren]

9 more hours til 2077

[drifting patio]

damn

[spice prawn]

its a rolling launch is it not @hard wren ?

[drifting patio]

imagine they delay it one minute before release

[spice prawn]

as in, its launched in NZ right?

[hard wren]

yeah its a weird launch stadia one hour earlier than steam retail the next day....

I'm not sure how the whole stadia experience will be....

since Im concerned if I can even play it in 4k

the reviews I watched were struggling at 1080p RTX on with a 2080ti

[spice prawn]

those are all without launch day patches

[hard wren]

very true hopefully that was mostly optimization

[spice prawn]

and potentially without nvidia support also

and i dont see a problem with the gaming community getting a new "crysis"

would be nice honestly

[hard wren]

3080 was buttery smooth though so its kind of odd you would think it would be the other way around since 3080 just came out

[spice prawn]

dev tools etc etc

[hard wren]

or it just shows how much better a 3080 is than a 2080ti

[spice prawn]

:)

devil is in the details for stuff like that

hence why i am as curious as i am about the IC on the amd side of things

[hard wren]

I hope it really struggles b/c then I can be justified in telling my wife I "need" a 3090 now 😉

yeah I want to see more tests from the AMD cards

[spice prawn]

because there is no doubt they are doing well on the raster side of things

[hard wren]

really well actually better than I thought

[spice prawn]

aye

[hard wren]

say what you will but they far exceeded my expectations

[spice prawn]

same

and the IC idea is very very interesting

i just hope it actually scales and it NOT just a one-off

[hard wren]

yeah seems like one of those this could be the future things

[spice prawn]

aye

[hard wren]

and as ram gets faster and faster it makes sense

seems like cpus are the part lagging behind now

pci gen 4 is great but we need some beastly fast CPUs to use it

[lone pond]

Hello I have a question about GPU prices

[hard wren]

@lone pond shoot

[spice prawn]

its going to be a question of offloading more and more, directstorage and the dedicated hardware decoding for it is the right path imo

[hard wren]

and where is my 20x pcie slot?

[spice prawn]

and with that said: as always, it was a pleasure Nil. Gotta go downtown for meetings :)

[hard wren]

later

[spice prawn]

we have it

[hard wren]

I know 😉

[spice prawn]

:)

[hard wren]

@lone pond what prices are you wondering about?

[keen current]

yes

[worldly robin]

like i promised

2 3090s in stock

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B08HBVX53D/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl2&tag=stonks01-20&linkId=81935970422347976b9e478a9770fd34

its going soon

[lone pond]

Alright sooo, do you think these prices are fair :
RX 590 : 90 €
RX 5500 XT : 110 €
1650 Super : 120 €
1660 : 135 €
1660 Super : 150 €
1070 : 150 €

[hard wren]

1660 Super : 150 € this is the best card out of those

1070 not worth it for same price

[last fossil]

what videocard is recommended for 1440p gaming @ 120hz

[hard wren]

2060super

I mean bare minimum

you could do better but it will cost a lot more

[worldly robin]

yh

[last fossil]

cool ty! i have the alienware 34" - i dont need to do anything specific to enable gysnc do i?

just make sure its set in the nvidia panel

[hard wren]

yep thats it

[haughty crescent]

When will the 2080 ti be 200$

I am broke

I need good prices

[hard wren]

ugh dont say such things I have 2 of them...

[haughty crescent]

Wtf

Lucky

[hard wren]

the price has fallen enough for now

[haughty crescent]

Can I have one, pretty plz

[hard wren]

one is technically my wifes

[haughty crescent]

Oh lol

[hard wren]

but I am trying to convince her to let me have a 3090

[haughty crescent]

Can I borrow one, for a couple years till the 10,090 ti comes out ;)

Naisu

[hard wren]

lol

[haughty crescent]

Best of luck to u my man

[hard wren]

I have been seeing them on ebay for $550-650

[haughty crescent]

I’ve heard some scary stories of what wives did to their mans if they bought a 3090 when they said no

It didn’t end well

POG

[lone pond]

I know the 1660 super is newer but GPU.userbenchmark says the 1070 is +8% better

I'm confused 😳

[hard wren]

@lone pond did you have a budget you were trying to stick to? I dont really know what currency that is what is 150 € in US dollars?

userbenchmark although the first thing that pops up on google is not a good source

[lone pond]

Yeah I'm definitely not going above 150. In my country there's a site to sell and buy second hand pieces. Some stuff is overpriced like you can find a 1650 for 200€ 😂 for there's also many good deals everyday, if you're lucky you can find a 1660S for 130€ just because people wanna get rid of it and they probably already rich. Most of the time you find them at a 200€ price but I'm just waiting for better deals :)

[hard wren]

id say the 1070 could be about 1-2 more fps in some titles but the vram is slower and the 1660S is much newer

[lone pond]

150€ equals $180

[haughty crescent]

I have 1660 ti and it’s good for 1080

[lone pond]

Yeahh

1660 ti is good also, just more rare to find here

[hard wren]

the super is better though

[lone pond]

I'd even be happy with a 1660 😂

Yeah true!

[worldly robin]

yh agreed

[haughty crescent]

How is the super better? @hard wren

[hard wren]

faster vram

[haughty crescent]

OOOOF

It was cheaper

I baited myself

Yikes

[hard wren]

gddr5 vs gddr6

[lone pond]

I'm just building a low budget pc that I would use for about 2 years. I'd be spending in complete 400€ for the whole thing

[haughty crescent]

[lone pond]

I'm waiting for the new AMD Zen 4

Can't wait

[lone pond]

It's ok don't regret!

[haughty crescent]

Yea D:

[lone pond]

What's done is done, the 1660ti is still good :p

[hard wren]

oh yeah not a huge difference or anything

[haughty crescent]

I’m getting 3070 in two months anyways

when it’s hopefully buyable

[lone pond]

Wait, I just checked and it seems like the ti is better by 2%

[haughty crescent]

[lone pond]

😂

[haughty crescent]

2% POGGERS

[lone pond]

Don't!

[haughty crescent]

50$ more for 2%

[lone pond]

Your 1660ti can do the job til the next Nvidia GPUs :)

[haughty crescent]

For sure!

Why do I go to cuss all the time, not in a bad way, but to say like “h*ll yea” and then I have to delete it cause of the rules in the server

Every other server I’m in allows me to cuss

[lone pond]

Isn't it allowed

Hell

if u happen to get kicked just join back lol

[midnight pollen]

Should I buy a gpu now or wait?

[hard wren]

if you are trying to be fiscally responsible you should wait

[midnight pollen]

Ok

[tough bone]

For my 1660 ti should I use a 6 pin or 8 which is better?

[stiff mango]

@midnight pollen GPU prices are through the roof rn

[midnight pollen]

Ye I know just trying to look for one they've increased quite a bit

[stiff mango]

Wait what do you have rn?

And what is your budget @midnight pollen

[worldly robin]

RTX 3060 in stock https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=4211463

[midnight pollen]

400$ looking at a rx5700xt

[glass copper]

Why is the graphics card market SO ABSOLUTE trash rn

other than the new card releases

like would it be as bad if the new cards didnt come?

[narrow yoke]

Yes

Supply chains are weak right now. Demand is strong right now

Yes people are clamoring for the new cards but if there were no new cards, and no clamor for them, you'd still have a lot of people building for the holidays they're gonna spend at home alone and not a million cards to support it

[lone pond]

yooo

@hard wren

[hard wren]

yo

[lone pond]

question! someone is offering their 1070ti

how much should I offer max?

[hard wren]

200ish

of your things

[lone pond]

And what would you rather get between 1070ti and 1660S? :)

@worldly robin Don't post newegg links

you're not gonna see a 30 series in stock for more than half a second on newegg for a few months

[minor hazel]

sad

[dry berry]

Hey all. A couple days ago I scored big and was able to get the Gigabyte Gaming OC 3060ti. I am super happy I got it, lots of stress away before finals. But my sights were set on the 3070. I have a 4k display, and I mostly do CAD work for classes and light gaming like minecraft, madden, gta, rocket league. Nothing crazy. Is the 3060 good enough for that? or should I keep trying for the 3070?

[worldly robin]

ok

its in stock everyday

there was a 3090 in amazon for an hour bc it was priced at 3k😂

[tame oak]

Is there a difference between a laptop and desktop for the RTX 2060?

[lone pond]

it restocks everyday but its not gonna last there

[lone pond]

Laptop will thermal throttle

[tame oak]

Thanks!

[drowsy warren]

the rtx 3060ti is the equivalent of a 2080 super, I think that its more than enough for your needs. You should be good

[fluid star]

3060 ti better than 2080 super not equal

[cursive canopy]

how much better? O.O

and waiting for bestbuy to get the delivery of the card I bought last week

[lone pond]

Not so much, it is like 1-4 fps better

[barren hull]

where can you get 3080

[lone pond]

Depending on resolution and game

[lone pond]

Its equal workstation wise

Gaming wise

sure

[barren hull]

where can you get the 3080

[cursive canopy]

bestbuy, newegg, and i'm sure other places that have some in stock

[light surge]

best buy is out, they had yesterday. none now

[barren hull]

kk

[cursive canopy]

so they are getting stock but no one really knows when..

[light surge]

I can usually get them at micro center but nobody ever asks me to go for them so

[barren hull]

does amazon have them in stock?

[light surge]

my local MC is in store only

there is a 3070 there, Madison Heights Michigan store. I cant link it

[lone pond]

Best buy and amazon

[light surge]

newegg is shady like that

[lone pond]

the chances of you buying it on newegg is so incredibly hard

most botted website

[cursive canopy]

just have to keep checking like a mad person to find one in stock

yea I stopped buying from newegg, their practices have went down the shitter imo

[barren hull]

are those two the same card?

same type but from different sellers right?

[lone pond]

No

Same model but one is the OC edition

(factory overclocked)

[barren hull]

ok

[light surge]

those are scalped cards

do not buy from them bastards

your best bet right now is in store at micro center or from someone cool (like me)

[barren hull]

you wanna sell me a 3080? ok sure

what are your prices

Oi

Yes

@barren hull yes, same card. one is being sold by a scalper on amazon. the other one is the actual msrp

[muted panther]

i have a question, how big of a bottleneck would i have with a 3070 and a i5 8400

[lone pond]

Not alot i guess
Since 8400 is basically a 9400

[muted panther]

sick

just worried cus teh clock speed is 2.8

[lone pond]

Base clock speed
But under load it boosts to 4.0

[static rock]

well, strix is higher end

costs more

[young ore]

Any 3060ti coming today??

[static rock]

but its still a 3080

[barren hull]

ok

so no big differeces between the two?

[static rock]

strix one is also factory overclocked

[barren hull]

ok

so no big differeces between the two?

there basiccalyy the same right?

[static rock]

strix has more rgb visible

when regularly mounted

[barren hull]

ok

[muted panther]

where can i get a non scalper 3070

like msrp

[barren hull]

ok

Is there a strix one that is not factory overclocked?

[static rock]

should say in the title

[barren hull]

ok

Which one of these has the best RGB? https://www.asus.com/us/Product-Compare/?products=qd2z2fai4rv29irz,sllsnshqqjg0x9oj&b=1

Is the one on the left overclocked, and the one on the right not overclocked?

[buoyant stone]

Top is what I was using... bottom one is new. Let’s go

[rose adder]

you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

is that like a GT 710

[wintry orbit]

Do you have to install the driver before the gpu?

[spice prawn]

@wintry orbit no

[wintry orbit]

Do you need 2 different power cords from the psu for it to work?

[spice prawn]

@wintry orbit elaborate on what you are actually asking about

[fluid star]

?

[wintry orbit]

Same cable strip or 2 different ones need to be plugged into the psu

[dapper spruce]

good question

[rose adder]

most of cable's resistance is at the connector, not in the power cable

[spice prawn]

you need a 6pin pci-e power cable for the one on the left and a 8pin pci-e power cable for the one on the right

[wintry orbit]

LED turns on but no output to monitors

Yeah but I have a cable that's 2 8pin connectors

[spice prawn]

and that can work

[rose adder]

that should be fine to use the single cable, it is usually the connector that is the limiting factor to power capacity not the cable itself

[wintry orbit]

Well that's what I thought but it doesn't output to the display

[spice prawn]

@wintry orbit with what you have told us so far, we know nothing

we cannot read your mind or see what you see

[rose adder]

personally I think the power cable is an unlikely culprit, there are a lot of other issues you could be having that would lead to no display output

but yeah we would need more information to be helpful;

[wintry orbit]

I don't really know anything either just ask troubleshooting questions, I'll try something cause 2 pins from the (6x2) might have been stuck .5mm back

[rose adder]

does your motherboard have debug LEDs?

[spice prawn]

because they interlock BEFORE you plug in the combined 8pin connector @wintry orbit

you most likely plugged them (the 2pin part of the 6+2pin connector) in after the 6pin section

[wintry orbit]

It works now

They didn't interlock because there wasn't enough room so I had to pull it up

[spice prawn]

you did something wrong then

i guarantee that they can interlock before

[remote cargo]

My parts list says “The Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.” Would I still be able to do a little over locking if I’m planning on getting a 3060 ti?

[spice prawn]

if the psu follows the ATX spec, they will interlock

[wintry orbit]

I did something wrong

[spice prawn]

@remote cargo nothing to worry aobut

[wintry orbit]

I never said I didn't

[remote cargo]

thank god

thanks Naed

[spice prawn]

@remote cargo consider it something like this: Are you trying to melt a hole to the planets core? if no, then you dont need that 4pin :)

[remote cargo]

well, I might...

it’s been on my bucket list

lol jk

Also, is 108$ a lot for a rm650x? I have a 10% promo on Newegg and the base price is 120$

[spice prawn]

i would normally point at the 105-ish AMP instead

[remote cargo]

what brand?

[spice prawn]

Phantek are the ones that make the AMP

[muted panther]

when are 3070s back in stocj

[remote cargo]

okay, I’ll look into that. I’m trying to find a fully modular

[spice prawn]

the AMP is full modular

[remote cargo]

it’s in Amazon for 130 ish right now

[spice prawn]

which is marked up
