[karmic crag]

you think i wouldn't know if they restocked ssenti

[round crown]

[karmic crag]

there is 0 hope of me getting an FE card now

they were the only ones at msrp 😔

[oblique parrot]

I got 2 30 series cards using snail bot.

3070 and a 3090

[wispy cradle]

ummmm

i might be very

stupid

rn

[gritty cape]

alright lol, I decided, I'm going for a sapphire nitro+ 6800... 6800 XT won't be in stock for months still and 6900 XT is like useless since I do 1080p and will upgrade to 1440p at most...

[wispy cradle]

but

should i have downloaded the red devil rx 5700 xt drivers or the amd radeon drivers

[gritty notch]

direct from amd

[gritty notch]

enjoy the card!

[inland hound]

AMD software is [EXPLETIVE DELETED]

Also returning your ping @gritty notch

[gritty notch]

❤️

[gritty cape]

thanks ❤️

[wispy cradle]

i did that

but it keeps crashing

so should i get the red devil 5700 xt

on the website

[inland hound]

Just don’t get a 5700xt

[gritty notch]

same driver pack

true

[inland hound]

Unless you are mining or something

And at that point get an RDNA2 card because those things crush mining

[limpid vigil]

whens the drop tonight?

[brazen flame]

Are there any in stock anywhere?

[inland hound]

5700XTs?

Not likely

Not a card I would recommend anyways

Speaking from experience

[inland hound]

Newegg most Mondays-Thursdays at 7:30 PM EST

[wispy cradle]

how do i fix my drivers

should i just sell this card and buy a new one

[gritty notch]

probs

[wispy cradle]

i think it might actaully

be a power or heat problme

casue

this doesnt happen when iplay mc or something

so the card isnt working

very hard

e

[inland hound]

Sell it, get a 6800 if you really are hell-bent on AMD, or a 3060Ti or something like that if you actually want a quality card

[wispy cradle]

but when i play something more intene

like valorant

it crashes

i cant do that atm

[inland hound]

Are you downloading the 50th anniversary drivers or the actual drivers?

[limpid vigil]

you think i can snatch a 3070/psu combo tonight?

[wispy cradle]

actual

[inland hound]

Possibly. Keep that F5 key ready.

[limpid vigil]

i live in the uk

[limpid vigil]

[jagged sequoia]

I'm so conflicted on whether to try and sweat a 3070 or just wait a generation

[brazen flame]

Anyone know of GPU's that are in stock anywhere? 2060s or better?

[carmine dune]

Lol this guy

Aint nothing in stock my dude

Though there's a newegg drop tonight at 7:30pm if you can click the buy button fast enough

[inland hound]

Probably, although you should be able to order from the US

Import cost would be expensive though

[brazen flame]

Yeah my current GPU crapped out, and ive been looking for a few days. I was just hoping someone here would be better at sniffing out GPUs than me

[queen belfry]

anyone have a link for a water block for a zotac 3070

[carmine dune]

Used is you're best bet

[brazen flame]

you mean "scalped"? I dont see the point in paying $1k for a 3060ti

[queen belfry]

lmao you can get a 3080 for 1k "used"

dont buy new

[brazen flame]

👀

the cheapest 3080 I came across was 1400

[queen belfry]

ive found some for 1k

im buying a 3070 for 700 fridday

[tender mulch]

[hidden hazel]

okk didnt know

[brazen flame]

Newegg drop tonight at 7:30 what time zone?

[tender mulch]

est

[brazen flame]

So do we just refresh till something shows up on stock?

[serene sundial]

oh drop in 30 mins?

that confirmed?

[karmic crag]

most of the newegg 3060s are around $500

which defeats the purpose of getting a 3060

[tender mulch]

hate to tell you but that's the new MSRP after the Import Tariffs went into effect

[meager shoal]

Damn they all more expensive than I thought lmao

[west finch]

if you get a FE card they're made in Taiwan not China so they don't have the tariffs.

[meager shoal]

Yeah ain’t no founders edition anywhere except bestbuy

[tender mulch]

FE cards went up too

8% along with EVGA

[brazen flame]

Anyone know what's expected to be in the drop tonight?

[meager shoal]

Wym in the drop tonight? It’s happening rn

@brazen flame ^

[gritty notch]

nice!

[brazen flame]

I thought it was 7:30

[meager shoal]

Est

[serene sundial]

wym now im refreshing ans seeing nothing

[brazen flame]

Thats still 8 minutes

[meager shoal]

I guess it was 7

[brazen flame]

Everything is still out of stock

[meager shoal]

It’s on Newegg

You can try and get one its really hard too at least on my side

[carmine dune]

There's a strix that's apparently in stock but I can't add to cart

[meager shoal]

Same

[serene sundial]

im seeing nothing in stock

[meager shoal]

Just getting an error

[serene sundial]

and ve been refreshing for 10 mins

[meager shoal]

U on Newegg?

[carmine dune]

Says out of stock if you go to the general 3080 page

[brazen flame]

Nothing in stock for me too

[meager shoal]

There is strix and 2 combos in stock for me

Everything else is out of stock

[serene sundial]

you talking about that 3070?

im looking for a 80

nothing in the 3080s

[carmine dune]

I'm looking for 80s

[velvet robin]

I'm not seeing a 3080 either.

[carmine dune]

Did 70s drop already?

[meager shoal]

Yeah everything dropped

[velvet robin]

I thought I saw one 60ti available.

[carmine dune]

I thought drop was at 7:30?

[meager shoal]

Nah 7

[carmine dune]

Do they vary the time?

[serene sundial]

another loss to the scalpers

[serene sundial]

cause newegg refuses to add a damn captcha then

cause ive been refreshing nonstop

[brazen flame]

Dang couldn't click fast enough

[meager shoal]

Yeah 80s were sold out fast

[carmine dune]

Wait so when do the drops actually happen?

[shy forge]

so the drop happened

[meager shoal]

They already did

[carmine dune]

But it was supposed to happen at 7:30?

[velvet robin]

Dang I was on at 7:10 and 80s were gone already lol

[meager shoal]

There is 2 70’s combos left

[carmine dune]

So do drops happen at 7?

[serene sundial]

dont want a 3070

need a 3080

[brazen flame]

I cant add the combo to my card

cart*

[meager shoal]

Yeah has the same error

[meager shoal]

Sorry man out of luck

[meager shoal]

Oof

[velvet robin]

The pinned messages are based off recent trends that people have noticed they aren't guaranteed and can vary. Last week it was "NewEgg 7-8" and it got narrowed down to 7:30 so it's probably best to just sit around for the whole hour. Same with BB. Hang out in Tuesday mornings if you can. No one really knows exactly when a drop is coming.

[serene sundial]

cause i said SH@!?

[wary anvil]

Yup

[carmine dune]

Got it. Another drop tomorrow night though, right?

[velvet robin]

Mon-Thurs is when is being said for Newegg, yea.

[lone pond]

no any 3060 ?

[serene sundial]

3070s are 700 now?

[wary anvil]

3060 isn't even out yet

[carmine dune]

Okay. Guess I'll see you tomorrow then lol

[lone pond]

i meant 3060ti xd

[meager shoal]

What u looking for @carmine dune

[carmine dune]

3080

[meager shoal]

Nvm

[carmine dune]

Thought the drop was at 7:30, so I got on at 7:25

yeah ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'll be on at 7 tomorrow ig

[shy fiber]

Yeah I was just refreshing from 6:50 to now and nothing

[velvet robin]

Same. 3080 here. I could have grabbed a 60ti I saw one tonight but I don't want it.

[shy fiber]

Newegg just tweeted about drops for combos

[serene sundial]

botters will always win though till newegg adds a captcha

[lone pond]

damn i seen asus 3060ti but when i click it went out of stock lol

[velvet robin]

Yea that's the 60ti I saw too. $529?

[lone pond]

yeah

crappp

[shy fiber]

I think Asus is bugged on Newegg right now

[carmine dune]

Out of stock

[meager shoal]

It still says there is 2 3070 combos for me

[carmine dune]

At least 3080

[shy fiber]

Yup

[brazen flame]

Same for me @meager shoal

But wont let me add them to card

[stiff moss]

Whats a good price for a 3gb 1060?

[brazen flame]

cart*

[carmine dune]

I think if you wait for the tweet you'll be too late

[velvet robin]

Same.

[carmine dune]

Means it's out of stock and just hasn't updated

[serene sundial]

yea found a 3080 but cant add it

[stiff moss]

Whats a good price for a 3gb 1060?

[carmine dune]

All 3080s are out of stock

[carmine dune]

Probably ~$150? Check what they're going for on Ebay

[tender mulch]

I have never pinned a Newegg schedule to this channel

[stiff moss]

yeah about $130

some are selling for like 80

[tender mulch]

LNewegg restocks inventory every night between 7:30 and 8 PM

[stiff moss]

buts its whatever

[wary anvil]

Someone else pinned it

[tender mulch]

ahhhhhh

[carmine dune]

Restock was earlier than 7:30 today

[wary anvil]

wait no

[weak pasture]

Damn scalpers

[tender mulch]

or a small one

[wary anvil]

You pinned it Vintage

[velvet robin]

Sounds like it was closer to 7.

[carmine dune]

Nah everything was gone by the time I got on at 7:25

[tender mulch]

Ye, yesterday morning lol

[green harness]

Yeah they restocked on the earlier side, then tweeted that they had stuff in stock when it was already oos 😬

[lone pond]

i couldn't grab any today too

[carmine dune]

Welp

F to everyone here

I'll see you guys tomorrow then lol

[green harness]

All of it was out of stock at like 7pm iirc, they tweeted at like 7:30

[brazen flame]

Unfortunate

Better luck next time I guess

[carmine dune]

Yup

GL tomorrow everyone

[tender mulch]

Newegg still dropping

😉

[lone pond]

didnt bestbuy drop today ?

[tender mulch]

Asus TUF 3070 just dropped

[carmine dune]

Wait what?

[reef heath]

ok i got 2 options gigabyte 3070 or XFX 6800?

wait why are they dropping?

[meager shoal]

3070 are in stock again

Sum ^^

[carmine dune]

Aight staying on then

[tender mulch]

Ye, pay attention

have patience lol

[carmine dune]

Nope

[carmine dune]

Thought they were gonna all drop at once

[tender mulch]

They tend to trickle a bit

[weak pasture]

There is a 3070 and PSU combo up

[tender mulch]

Best Buy broke their pattern today

I'm really disappointed

[wary anvil]

Guess that's smart. Keeps them from ddosing themselves as much

[tender mulch]

Have to wait and see what happens tomorrow

[brazen flame]

Nah its sold out. Just not updated

[carmine dune]

EKWB 3080 up

[tender mulch]

RX6800's up

[serene sundial]

3080 is in

but its waterblock

not something i can get

good luck boys

[twilit garnet]

Nothin

[weak pasture]

Well crap

[meager shoal]

I think they are back in stock again u can try

[green harness]

Just getting a lot of errors when I try to atc

[meager shoal]

Same I’m guessing u just gotta get Lucky

[carmine dune]

Lol Newegg just asked if I'm human

[meager shoal]

Not sure if I wanna pay over 600 for a 3070

[carmine dune]

That's not terrible

It's buy it or lose it though

Expect a markup over FE MSRP for partner cards though, so 600 isn't terrible

[reef heath]

rx6800?

not up for me

[karmic crag]

should i go with a used 2070 super or a 3060 ti

[reef heath]

3060ti

[karmic crag]

the 3060 ti will perform better i assume but in terms of availability it's unreliable

[carmine dune]

3060Ti is significantly faster, if you can find one

[jagged sequoia]

there was definitely a restock at 7:30

I saw stuff in stock

[carmine dune]

Stuff's been going in and out

[serene sundial]

i saw it in stock but couldnt add anything to cart

[jagged sequoia]

not for more than 5 mins tho

[carmine dune]

Means it's out of stock and the page hasn't updated yet

[serene sundial]

i know

but i clicked on it the moment it came up too

they really gotta fix the bots cause i find it hard to believe real people are getting them unless they only release like 2 cards

[carmine dune]

rip

[meager shoal]

Yeah not a terrible price but I’m not in no rush so

[tender mulch]

Apple Pay through mobile is how you get them quick

[carmine dune]

What company?

[tender mulch]

Not even joking

One click and done

[shy fiber]

Have to be able to add it to your cart though lol

[leaden orchid]

Man I've never seen so many people mad about cart errors

[serene sundial]

its newegg im not mad really. its par for the course

they used to be the best

now they are a meme

[stone prairie]

what benchmark is better for stress testing

heaven benchmark or 3dmark?

[tender mulch]

I like Heaven, it's a bit shorter IMO

[jagged sequoia]

heaven's dx11 only, right

[tender mulch]

Heh, ya'll need to not give up. Asus STRIX just dopped

[stone prairie]

so heaven is better?

[tender mulch]

I think DX11 yeah

[meager shoal]

Asus has some decent prices but if that strix was slight but cheaper probably would’ve copped it

[jagged sequoia]

depends on what games you play

[carmine dune]

It's been busted

[stone prairie]

so heaven?

[jagged sequoia]

they're both good benchmarks, there's a reason no reviewer uses just one

[serene sundial]

im not seeing it

[stone prairie]

for stress testing

temps

[serene sundial]

only the watercooled 3080

[tender mulch]

I mean, if you're testing overclocks, Heaven is just fine

[serene sundial]

which i cant use

[stone prairie]

ok

[gritty notch]

valley cuter

[brazen flame]

Is 550 a decent price for a 2060?

[carmine dune]

No lol

[tender mulch]

Nay, that's 3060TI/3070 territory

[brazen flame]

And they called me crazy

I hate scalpers. They are making people believe their old cards are worth so much more than they really are

[remote cargo]

am I safe to assume no BB drop?

[meager shoal]

No drop

[carmine dune]

None this morning

[remote cargo]

or do I keep reloading

[carmine dune]

BB shouldn't be dropping now

[remote cargo]

I reloaded legit all day

[lone pond]

newegg drop is end ?

[meager shoal]

How long have u been reloading for??

[remote cargo]

about 9 hours with bathroom breaks

[carmine dune]

We thought BB was going to drop around 10:30 today but it never happened

[meager shoal]

Dam bro

[lone pond]

omg

[carmine dune]

Dude.

[remote cargo]

I am patient and committed. BUT I STILL WANT A FREAKING CARD

[stiff moss]

I bought a 1060 3gb for $40

so thats an easy flip since it works

[carmine dune]

That's just pointless tho...

[remote cargo]

yeah

[carmine dune]

Sit for an hour or two, but after that there's not gonna be a drop

[icy cove]

my dad was scrolling through newegg without even knowing about the tweet, and he saw everything go in stock right before his eyes and still couldn't buy one

[meager shoal]

That 3070 aorus master is hella beautiful tho

[lone pond]

anyone got something ?

[carmine dune]

The EKWB 3080 is supposedly in stock

[remote cargo]

the thing is the BB drops are my only chance cuz I want FE because all the other cards are too much money

[carmine dune]

Was in, then oos for 5, now back in

[meager shoal]

Feel you on that one

[carmine dune]

Bruh the time wasted refreshing a page is worth the 50 bucks extra of a new card

[brazen flame]

Wont let me put it in cart. Guessing its oos just not updated

[meager shoal]

If I was just trying to purchase the card alone would’ve been pulled the trigger on others one

[carmine dune]

Same

[jagged sequoia]

one day I'll get my tuf card

one day

[carmine dune]

The fact that it came back in stock is promising though

[remote cargo]

I don’t wanna spend more than I have too. I’m willing to wait until like March for stock stabilization

[meager shoal]

More than 50

[meager shoal]

Mine still works just want sum thing better

[icy cove]

no yeah me too lol

[serene sundial]

yea agreed my 1070 still is fine

but not for cyberpunk

[brazen flame]

Its oos, just not updated imo

[wary anvil]

3060ti beats out 1070 hands down

[icy cove]

I wanna play cyberpunk with higher than 30-40 fps low graphics

[serene sundial]

yes. but why upgrade if im just gonna have to upgrade again

its not a stepstool lol

[icy cove]

that is like saying why do anything if anything is ever going to get better

[wary anvil]

That's just life when you have a computer

You have to upgrade

[serene sundial]

well yea but if i get a 3060 im still going for a 3080 so why bother

FYI got 2 confirmed 3070 buys in a separate server

[serene sundial]

then its about 1000 bucks just for the screw to attach it lol

i couldnt add anything to cart

cause... well... newegg ya know

[brazen flame]

Congrats

[carmine dune]

I know... but it means that there actually were cards in stock long enough to not get scalped

[brazen flame]

I guess I gave up too soon

[serene sundial]

can we just set up blocks to stop the scalpers

[carmine dune]

I should clarify, I didn't get those cards

2 other people did

[serene sundial]

i mean i know newegg gets the money regardless

but come on

[wary anvil]

Sadly that's very very hard

[serene sundial]

simple captch should work shouldnt it

[wary anvil]

Not really

[serene sundial]

at least then it has to be humans

[wary anvil]

A good bot will solve a simple captcha faster than most humans

[carmine dune]

A good bot'll beat most captchas

[serene sundial]

you mean the ones where you ahve to read out the sequence of numbers in a picture

how?

[carmine dune]

I'm probably gonna call it at 8:30

OCR is getting pretty good

[wary anvil]

OCR, yup

It just reads the numbers

from what I've seen, neweeg does bot protection more froma network history side of things

[serene sundial]

what about the "select the crosswalk" crap lol

[carmine dune]

Same basic thing

Image recognition

More powerful than you might think

[wary anvil]

One time I was on the newegg site and turned off my VPN, and it locked me from buying for a few minutes

[carmine dune]

ASUS EKWB 3080 just went oos

[wary anvil]

If you think about it, computers would have to be able to solve that kind of captcha quickly and accurately, since self driving cars depend on it

[icy cove]

ay just got a 3060ti

[meager shoal]

nice

[carmine dune]

NICE

[icy cove]

gigabyte

[carmine dune]

Looks like I'll be staying on a bit longer then

When'd you place the order?

[meager shoal]

Now u can run games better say goodbye to the 1060

[lone pond]

@icy cove where from

[carmine dune]

I'm calling it a night. Good luck everyone!

[icy cove]

newegg

combo deal

random power supply that I don't want but oh well

I was desperate

I placed the order about two minutes before the message of me saying I got one

[meager shoal]

which one was it?

[lone pond]

is it still dropping

[meager shoal]

i think they are dont for the night

[rapid moon]

Imagine buying a graphic processing unit instead of a gpu

[serene sundial]

i know right

[stone prairie]

ew

graphics processing unit

almost as bad as a central processing unit

or random access memory

random access memory is so outdated

everyone uses ram these days

[floral prism]

Guys question. I was able to get a 3080 vision from MC. I wanted a EVGA 3080 ftw3 or a (3080 strix if possible) how does the vision rank ?

[icy cove]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4213597

[thorn kestrel]

so did any cards get restocked today?

[carmine dune]

Couple got 70s and @icy cove got a 60

[queen belfry]

anyone got zotac 3070 water block link?

ek only makes them for the strix 3070

[hexed timber]

any ps5s today?

[severe lodge]

WHY!!!!! Why can't I just get the STINKING CARD!!!!! I have my computer built except for the CPU and GPU. If you are going to bundle...bundle those! Not an old motherboard and a GPU. GRRRRRRR!!!

Heck...I would take a GPU and a decent 5TB hdd. Just not the other stuff I have already bought. lol

[coarse spindle]

We feel you bro

[tender mulch]

if best Buy hadn't screwed things up today

[coarse spindle]

I mean its a bonus for me because my testbench is on its last legs

Yeah i am sufficiently pissed, i have so many orders for these cards from back in October

[bright orchid]

Is new egg restocking the 3070s soon in Canada?

[weak pasture]

I was really hoping for a 3060 to FE. Dumb BB

[tender mulch]

indeed dumb BB

Consistent for weeks and then BAM!! NO GPU FOR YOU!

[coarse spindle]

When yall think scalper prices will drop to 1000$

[karmic crag]

i was banking on a BB drop today for a 3060. guess uhd 630 will have to suffice for now

[coarse spindle]

Thats how it be.

[meager shoal]

Wait are u saying that you have made orders in October and still haven’t got any??

[coarse spindle]

No, i mean my clients

[vague gulch]

imagine

[lean flicker]

did it drop today

if so what

no 3060 ti dropped

[meager shoal]

Yes there was a new egg drops of all 30 series

[jagged sequoia]

When are the other drops this week?

[lusty dome]

Whats a decent placeholder card

[jagged sequoia]

what do you mean by that?

[lusty dome]

Like a card thats descent at a good price like 400<

[topaz sorrel]

we need for galax to bring back HOF GPUs

[lone pond]

Because you suck!

bestbuy no like you

only best buy elite member

stinky

[reef heath]

I got lucky on the drop for 3070 aorus bundle but I was short by 100 :)

So had to delete it in my cart

[stoic folio]

Yo does anyone know when Pc World drop “it’s a uk shop”

[brazen flame]

Guys i found the deal of the decade. 450 for a used 5600xt. Think ill get a second mortgage on my house cause this deal is too good 🤣

[crisp ocean]

I hope you're joking

[winter cosmos]

OK GPU question, I am looking to get a 3060ti, what is the equivalent, AMD gpu in that price range and performance?

[tender mulch]

6800

[crisp ocean]

6

yes

[winter cosmos]

so i guess that was where i was having a problem, when i search 6800, im finding $800+ cards.. and the 3060ti is about 450.. is the price gapp that big for equial performance? what am i missing?

[tender mulch]

MSRP for 3060TI is closer to $500 now from import taxes.

6800 MSRP is $579

[crisp ocean]

AMD technically doesn't have a 3060ti equivalent, it has a 3070 equivalent, which is the 6800

[winter cosmos]

ah

[crisp ocean]

6800 is the closest you'll get

cause anything worse is MUCH worse

[winter cosmos]

Ok, ya im a Intel/Nvidia guy but i am building a team red box for the first time and was trying to figure out best bag for dollar..

bang

[crisp ocean]

You don't need to force yourself to match AMD parts, with nvidia getting resizable bar there is not really a benefit software wise

[round crown]

i would say get an amd cpu

and stick with nvidia for the gpu

[crisp ocean]

choosing amd >nvidia where nvidia has benefits

[winter cosmos]

I got a b550 mortar and a 5600x sitting in my new case, my current card is a 1660

[crisp ocean]

not bad at all

[round crown]

1660 still not bad

[tender mulch]

BIOS updates for nVidia BAR (AMD SMA) are coming soon

[crisp ocean]

yeah

[tender mulch]

It's not proprietary to AMD

[crisp ocean]

Januay for MSI bios

[tender mulch]

It's a PCI-Express technology

AMD just made a cool acronym for it

[crisp ocean]

they made it a selling point though between both AMD cpus and gpus

[winter cosmos]

ahhh

[crisp ocean]

and advertised it as extra perf without adding in NVIDIA gpus will get it

[winter cosmos]

thats what i was reading about matching parts with amd but..

[tender mulch]

AMD SAM = PCI-E Resizable BAR

[crisp ocean]

Nvidia is getting it soon, MSI bios for resizable bar should be out any day

for B550s

I remember reading january

[tender mulch]

It already is in a good portion of boards

But BIOS is beta

wait for stable

[crisp ocean]

Yeah its in the beta bios for myy board

stable should release in january

https://www.pcworld.com/article/3603275/msi-will-support-resizable-bar-across-intel-and-amd-motherboards-even-threadripper.html

diff article oops

still good though

[haughty glacier]

Hi guys

Is this even legit/brand new?

[crisp ocean]

hm?

[haughty glacier]

$192

[crisp ocean]

palit is legit

just

eh

[haughty glacier]

Ye the pricing

Sus pricing

[crisp ocean]

not even the pricing at all

just palit isn't known for being a quality brand

[haughty glacier]

Wut

Oh

[crisp ocean]

msrp is 160

its not too bad for price now

[haughty glacier]

Oh

[crisp ocean]

its just palit

[haughty glacier]

Welp

1650 ain't even a choice now lol

[gritty notch]

palit is the biggest brand

palit is fine

[haughty glacier]

Ok ig I'll take that 1650s a chance

[crisp ocean]

I place zotac above palit

its fine

[gritty notch]

they literally make 1/4 of all gpus on the market

[crisp ocean]

its just not asus, evga, or any other brands

they're used for mining

[gritty notch]

they know what theyre doing

[gritty notch]

theyre cheaper and viewed as worse because they literally do not care about marketing at all

miners like them because less $$$ per card

[crisp ocean]

clearly, have you seen the gamerock lmaooo

[gritty notch]

why would u care abt marketing when you make 25% of all gpus on the planet

[crisp ocean]

they would have much less of a % of market usage if they werent used for mining

[gritty notch]

every oem uses palit

most quadros are palit

most teslas are palit

[crisp ocean]

Palit works with nvidia lol

ofc

[gritty notch]

if enterprise trusts them for stuff like that 100% ill trust them for some dinky little 1650

[crisp ocean]

they're durable, but like

Evga, MSI, asus typically

have better card

[gritty notch]

theyre just the brands who market

like honestly?

[crisp ocean]

nobody uses palit for OCing

well tbf OCing isn't too relevant for this

[gritty notch]

if youre buying a 1650 you dont have the money to care about what brand its from

[crisp ocean]

thats true too

[gritty notch]

would i get palit 3090?

no

[crisp ocean]

it works fine

lmao no

[gritty notch]

would i get palit 1650?

yea why not

my 1650 is already palit

actually

[crisp ocean]

i would too, i just dont like the brand

[gritty notch]

[crisp ocean]

in their situation i would probably get it

[gritty notch]

even my gpus are dell

[valid dew]

hello! i am planning to get the msi rx5600xt gaming mx. My monitors are asus vg248 (gsync) and aoc 24g2w (freesync). will both monitors be okay to use them if i will get the 5600xt?

[gritty notch]

thats how cool i am

[crisp ocean]

i just wouldn't buy

[gritty notch]

dont get that gen of cards

unless you hate yourself

[crisp ocean]

itll be OK, but yeah dont get em

[valid dew]

why is that?

[gritty notch]

drivers are still basically non functional

[crisp ocean]

^

lili types too fast

[gritty notch]

unless you like black screens

[crisp ocean]

meh perf a

[valid dew]

drivers of radeon cards still bad? oh nooo

[crisp ocean]

and terrible support

[gritty notch]

and game crashes

[karmic crag]

those issues haven't been fixed yet?

[gritty notch]

its amd what do u think

[karmic crag]

tsk tsk

amd's slacking

[gritty notch]

you get what you pay for

[valid dew]

ooooh i thought they fixed those issues

[gritty notch]

nah

[karmic crag]

can the 6--- series amd cards do ray tracing

[gritty notch]

amd gpus are more "move fast and break things"

they just forget the unspoken rule of "fix the broken things later"

[gritty notch]

barely

[crisp ocean]

its bad qualtiy

[gritty notch]

same quality performance is just uhhhhhh

a cinematic 20 fps

[karmic crag]

"cinematic"

[valid dew]

really now? ok ok thanks bro

[crisp ocean]

lol

[gritty notch]

amd is ok if you dont like raytracing

and if youre stupid

i mean if you think dlss isnt useful

fr tho for just raw fps amd is alright when it works

how much were u gonna pay for that card @valid dew

[valid dew]

my msi 1660 super ventus xs oc got busted. the store is offering me an exchange of item. its either the rx500xt or 1660 super aero itx 😦

[gritty notch]

1660 super

can you ask them if you can like

pay the difference on a nbetter card

LMAO @crisp ocean look someone dremeled their quadro to make it fit x8

[valid dew]

those are the only cards they have and the 3070. but i cant afford that. and my mobo is b450

[gritty notch]

how much for 3070?

[crisp ocean]

this is so cursed

im doing cpr this makes me want to stop

[valid dew]

well im not sure in dollars by almost twice the value of the rx5600xt hahaha

[gritty notch]

if it works

[crisp ocean]

it works

doesn't change the fact its cursed

[gritty notch]

i did the same thing to a rx550

[karmic crag]

$350 for a 2070 super, yay or nay

[karmic tulip]

yay

my old 1080ti just sold for 550 if that tells you anything

2070S ~ 1080ti

but 2070S is better because of DLSS and RT

[carmine dune]

I've got a buyer lined up for my 2080S for $550

[karmic crag]

wow

okay i think i might go for it

the only thing that's holding me back is the 3060ti, but as of right now, it's very difficult to find

[karmic tulip]

3060 ti isn't really better than a 2070 super

[karmic crag]

well i don't know if i'd say that

it trades blows with the 2080S, right?

[karmic tulip]

they say it is around 2080 super performance, but I don't really agree

probably between 2080s and 2070 s

[round crown]

3060ti is around 2080s perf

[lavish otter]

I've heard between 2070s and 2080s

[karmic crag]

it would suck if the 3060ti restocked right after i buy this 2070s lol

but for now it seems like a viable option

[gritty notch]

u can do more

id do 650

[round crown]

you can do waaaaaaaaaay more

i would sell that for 900

[carmine dune]

Really? I'm seeing lots of 2080s going on r/hardwareswap for less than 600

[gritty notch]

morons dont use hws

[round crown]

well are you selling on ebay?

if u are

[gritty notch]

get ebay goin

start at 600

[carmine dune]

That's a fair point

[gritty notch]

do bids

[round crown]

you could probably manage a sale at 1200 kek

[karmic crag]

hws is where i found this 2070s

[carmine dune]

Damn that'd be crazy

[karmic crag]

don't go omega scalper though

[round crown]

why the heck not

people will buy

[karmic crag]

procure a profit but be reasonable

[gritty notch]

u have until i find it

[karmic crag]

LOOOOL

[gritty notch]

[round crown]

if they're dumb have enough money

[gritty notch]

u think im kidding

hurry up

[karmic crag]

AHHHH

[gritty notch]

lol jk

[karmic crag]

yeah ik lol

[gritty notch]

have 100% done that so many times tho

[carmine dune]

So, Ebay $600 or highest bid?

[karmic crag]

yeah that's fair

[gritty notch]

someone brags abt finding good deal

[karmic crag]

maybe even $650

[carmine dune]

How long should I have the auction open?

[gritty notch]

i swoop it

resell for profit

[gritty notch]

week

[carmine dune]

Awesome, thanks guys

[gritty notch]

ebay start bid 600

no buy it now

[carmine dune]

Got it

[round crown]

im gonna list my old gtx 460 for 200

see if ppl buy it

how do i find the amount of vram

[wary anvil]

For reference, this auction is about to end

[carmine dune]

I'm too used to working with people who know what they're talking about lol I didn't even think about marking it up on Ebay 😆

[wary anvil]

You really want to mark it up, sell it on fb marketplace

[gritty notch]

^^^^^^^^^^

just have a gun

[carmine dune]

Lol

[round crown]

how do i find the amount of vram

[gritty notch]

would not advise irl scalp unless ur armed

[round crown]

aaaaa

[gritty notch]

like fr

[karmic crag]

how would one use paypal goods and services

asking for a friend

[lavish otter]

Cool beans, I'll put my 1080 up for 900 then

[wary anvil]

It's looking like most 2080s's go for 600-700 on ebay

A few over that

[carmine dune]

Hey, I bought it for $700 though, so I wouldn't complain about selling in that range

[weak pasture]

If you mark it way up and sell it in person, ask the buyer to meet you at a police station. The police actually promote this.

[gritty notch]

true

[karmic crag]

that way, if you get shot for scalping, the feds can cover you

[wary anvil]

Link I sent just ended, final price of 660

[karmic crag]

wow

[gritty notch]

cop abt to brutalize u for that sweet sweet gpu

[karmic crag]

police brutality against gamers is a problem

even the cops want dlss

[lone pond]

Are there any graphics cards that run apex legends at 30 FPS. I have an asus tuf gaming x570 plus motherboard with a ryzen 5 cpu.

[gritty notch]

30fps cringe tier goal

get a 1660s or something

[lone pond]

I know, I’m just on a budget and need a decent graphics card that can run these games

Under $800 CAD

Also, if I have a ryzen 5 and 16GB of RAM and an x570 motherboard, and I get a really good graphics card. Will it still work?

Because I use budget parts and if I’m willing to spend lots of money, it would be for the graphics card

So if I have just average motherboard, cpu and 16 gg of ram, will it be able to support a really good graphics card

[leaden chasm]

why did u get an x570 for a "ryzen 5"

[leaden chasm]

wait ur gpu budget is 800 cad

@lone pond

[lone pond]

Yeah

[leaden chasm]

then u can get a really good gpu

[lone pond]

I got a ryzen 5

And an x570 plus motherboard

Is that bad?

[leaden chasm]

which ryzen 5

[lone pond]

The spire cooler

[leaden chasm]

ryzen 5 3600x?

[lone pond]

2600x

[leaden chasm]

y tho

[lone pond]

I’m new to building pc’s so I’m not to sure

[leaden chasm]

why a ryzen 2000 cpu on x570

u shldve got a b450

[lone pond]

Is that a bad thing?

[leaden chasm]

its too overkill

also what res are u gonna be playing on

[lone pond]

Because I still can’t get the pc to work on the monitor

I haven’t even turned on my pc

[leaden chasm]

1080p , 1440p or 2160p

[lone pond]

It can’t connect to my monitor

For what?

[leaden chasm]

u have a gpu connected

[leaden chasm]

ur monitor resolution

[lone pond]

Yes but it’s an old one

[leaden chasm]

yah

so just return/sell ur 2600x and x570

get a 10400f and b460

i5 10400f and b460 chipset board

and for gpu wait till march , u can get the upcoming 3060

[lone pond]

Asus GTX 560 Ti this one

[leaden chasm]

which cable \

[lone pond]

Is my gpu

Mini hdmi nd two DVI

[leaden chasm]

umm u have plans for a new gpu ryt'

get the upcoming 3060

[lone pond]

Ya but I have a short budget

[leaden chasm]

3060 msrp will be 329$]

[lone pond]

And I just can’t get my pc to work on my monitor

[leaden chasm]

i c

[lone pond]

We tried ever me and my dad but we keep trying and it doesn’t work

[leaden chasm]

which monitor model no. is it

ill check

[lone pond]

It’s and old one

It’s my grandma’s old one but I plan on getting a new one once i have the money

[leaden chasm]

yah get a 144hz monitor

r u going for 1080p , 1440p or 2160p

[lone pond]

For what?

[leaden chasm]

i need that to be clear b4 choosing ur gpu

[lone pond]

Wait for what tho

Like when u asked if I’m going for 1080b or 1440p

The monitor?

@leaden chasm

[meager shoal]

Yeah he means what monitor

[leaden chasm]

yes

[lone pond]

Oh

I’m going to check what monitor I’m using

@leaden chasm since I can’t send pictures in the chat can I DM u the monitor?

[leaden chasm]

yes

perfect

[lone pond]

I added you

[stiff moss]

how much does a power color 570 go for?

its 4gb d5

[thorn kestrel]

A good $300 graphics card that isnt the 3060?

[solar mist]

its hard to find anything in stock, but a 1660S

[stone prairie]

dont

bad idea

return the x570

but the cpu is fine

[leaden chasm]

oop

cpu is fine

return the 570]

x570

[solar mist]

i think they double return might be so they can get a better CPU?

[weak pasture]

I wonder if the tariffs will stop now...

[west finch]

yeah i do too, i think it's the kind of thing that may go unnoticed for a while though

[carmine dune]

^

[foggy matrix]

Hello , is 3.54% bottleneck is good for gaming ?

[solar mist]

thats fine, but you shouldn't use bottlenecking calculators as they are usually inaccurate. What parts are you comparing?

[foggy matrix]

intel i5 10400f with 1660ti

[iron schooner]

That combination is perfectly acceptable.

[rigid crag]

^

[serene sundial]

where do you check what your bottleneck is?

lol that cant be right Cyberpunk 2077
Ultra-High Settings - 95.19% Bottlenecked by GPU

if i was to get a 3080

on a i5- 9600k

that sight has to be wrong then lol

[solar mist]

What resolution?

[brisk flame]

are you looking to upgrade your pc or something?

or are you trying to plan a system build

[serene sundial]

1440p

and just graphics card for now

on that system at least

my system is a bit more powerful.

that specific one is for a friend upgradeing from a 960

[solar mist]

Thats about right, if DLSS isn't enabled Cyberpunk becomes very GPU bottlenecked.

[serene sundial]

but in the end a 3080 is overkill for him right?

hell a 3080 might be overkill for me

mine still says bottleneck on gpu but i have a i7 9700k which is more believeable

but your saying his i5 can handle a 3080?

[brisk flame]

dont waste your time with the term bottleneck

just think about your budget

what parts do you have now, what do you need your system to do

thats all that matters

[serene sundial]

well he has about a 800 dollar budget and hes set on a 3080 frankly cause thats what im getting for sure ive touted the power alot

im closer to 1500 budget

trying to tell him a 3080 is overkill for his i5

[brisk flame]

and you both have systems already that you are looking to upgrade

[brisk flame]

this doesnt mean anything

fyi

[serene sundial]

yea but what im saying if his budget is 8-- hes better off getting a 3070

[brisk flame]

i still dont know the specs of your current systems

[serene sundial]

but hes deadset on a 3080. cause i guess i am too

[brisk flame]

so none of this information is useful

[serene sundial]

hes got a gtx 960 16gb ram 3000

i5 9600k

ive got a 2070 super i7-9700k 32gb ram 3000

[brisk flame]

lets start with him first, i cant do two things at once

[serene sundial]

both of us have 1440p 240hrz monitors already too

[brisk flame]

so hes trying to drive a 1440p, 240hz monitor? the 9600k can handle that in most cases, but getting a GPU with 1440p frametimes low enough to hit 240fps is gonna be a struggle

[serene sundial]

well 240 isnt a nessisity just saying what we got

[brisk flame]

so hes gonna need the most powerful gpu he can afford, depending on the game

[serene sundial]

id say 100fps goal is kinda across the board

after that is just icing on the cake

under that is noticeable

[brisk flame]

yeah, the 9600k should be ok for 240fps in games like rocket league, cs:go, R6S

titles like that

does he have an ssd?

[serene sundial]

yea

but only SATA

same as me

[brisk flame]

SATA is fine

[serene sundial]

2 tb hdd and 1tb evo 980 i think

we both upgraded a while back

he just didnt upgrade his graphics card then

and i had more to spend

so we kinda got the same sales lol

[brisk flame]

yeah, so he should get whatever gpu he can afford

[serene sundial]

so he doesnt NEED a 3080 like hes deadset on then right

[brisk flame]

he can spend as much as he wants to, the cpu isnt gonna be an issue in the vast majority of cases

to be fair, he doesnt need anything more than his 960

assuming hes ok with 4 fps in cyberpunk

right?

[serene sundial]

lol
