[inland hound]

pure iron, that is

cobalt - again, pure - is 100 w/mk

[mighty island]

pure copper is 401

which is why copper is so common in heatsinks

[inland hound]

of course

just clicked on that one actually

[void mountain]

I totally know what is going on here

[mighty island]

aluminum is 250 w/mk so it's common in more budget heatsinks

[inland hound]

silver is 430 w/mk

thats more than copper

[mighty island]

i don't want to imagine the price of a pure silver heatsink

[inland hound]

more expensive tho

[inland hound]

yeah lol

[void mountain]

mhm, mhm...

[inland hound]

thats for the super enthusiasts

[void mountain]

yeah

[mighty island]

imagine a deepcool assassin 3 made of pure silver

LOL

[tender mulch]

I wonder how gold foil would work as a TIM?

[void mountain]

totally know what you are talking about

[mighty island]

ahh yes spending $15000 for a cooler

[tender mulch]

Eh

[void mountain]

jesus christ

[tender mulch]

Gold foil is cheap

[mighty island]

no not that

[tender mulch]

Thye thin stuff

[void mountain]

WTH?

[inland hound]

potassium is surprisingly high

[tender mulch]

Oh, pure silver

[mighty island]

i meant the deepcool assassin 3 in pure silver

lol

[inland hound]

100 w/mk

[tender mulch]

YEET

[mighty island]

that thing is a chonker

[void mountain]

yessir

[mighty island]

absolute unit

[inland hound]

seems like it's mostly transition metals that are that conductive

[zenith lagoon]

That's something

[mighty island]

imagine that in pure silver with silver heatpipes

[inland hound]

not even enough RAM clearance on my board, I dont think

[mighty island]

lap it until it's flat

[tender mulch]

Oh, it's already been done

not bad

[void mountain]

dude you a millionaire or something? my cooler is like $50 or something

[tender mulch]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/939glu/gold_leaf_as_tim_tested/

[zenith lagoon]

Silver is the most conductive metal

[mighty island]

i debated on putting solid copper blocks on my vram instead of thermal pads

[zenith lagoon]

That humans know about

[zenith lagoon]

Go for it

[mighty island]

but the thinnest they make them is 0.3mm

and i need some 0.3mm and some 0.2mm

and there's a little bit of flex at 0.3mm so definitely need pads and not solid copper

lol

[void mountain]

very tiny

[mighty island]

0.3mm copper blocks will probably break it

[zenith lagoon]

They might

[inland hound]

I want a 480mm AIO but the whole thing is just a Rad as big as a O11 in silver with thicc fans and a heatsink twice as big as the CPU itself

[mighty island]

i am really excited to mod my 3080

nasty thermal throttling

[void mountain]

awesome ig?

[inland hound]

I want to see a gold heatsink

[void mountain]

is that like super expensive?

[mighty island]

so imagine a passive cooling case where the entire case is made of pure silver

pc that costs 7 digits? no big deal

[void mountain]

I have succesfully not imagined that because IDK what taht is

[void mountain]

MILLIONAIRE OVER HERE

[inland hound]

just a massive radiator

silver

nothing else

[mighty island]

I have seen one like that made of aluminum

[inland hound]

no, not as big as an O11, as an Enthoo Pro

[mighty island]

linus did a video about it

24 cores passively cooled

[inland hound]

aluminum isnt super conductive though?

[mighty island]

your desk will catch fire but that is a minor setback

[inland hound]

[mighty island]

I mean yeah aluminum isn't the best material ever but we're talking like 50 pounds of it

[void mountain]

jesus frickin' christ

[inland hound]

I prefer a pure silver one, not aluminum

[void mountain]

what the goddamn hell dude

[mighty island]

this is definitely how much i want to pay for my case

seems like a budget option honestly

[inland hound]

yeah... That's an expensive cooler

worth it

[mighty island]

mmm yes let's buy an $18000 cooler for an $800 graphics card

[void mountain]

My entire PC is like $1000

[inland hound]

and unbalanced

[void mountain]

jesus christ

yeah

[mighty island]

I wonder if putting a fan on my backplate would help vram temps more

on top of the thermal pads

[inland hound]

that might work actually

[tender mulch]

It might

[inland hound]

finstack for your backplate

[mighty island]

won't do much before putting thermal pads

I have a bunch of the same id-cooling fans left

and i have 1 argb header left

seems worthwhile to try

[inland hound]

get an aRGB splitter

[void mountain]

yeah

whatever that is

[mighty island]

lol yeah it's 1 header left of my second 1-4 argb splitter

[inland hound]

or some sort of external fan controller

[inland hound]

oh lol

can you connect a splitter to a splitter?

[tender mulch]

Eh

[void mountain]

maybe

[mighty island]

technically you can

[void mountain]

maybe not

[tender mulch]

Can only draw so much power from the header

[mighty island]

but you might start to run into current limits on a header

yeah

[tender mulch]

They're limited just like fans

[mighty island]

it's funny

my pc consumes like 30 watts just for rgb

[inland hound]

not enough headers on boards IMO

[inland hound]

hot damn

literally

[mighty island]

8 argb fans, argb water block, 10 feet of 12v rgb led strips

[void mountain]

I have no idea what is going on here. I'ma just watch some MandJTV lmao

[mighty island]

the led strips are consuming 19.2W

[inland hound]

water block

custom loop or GPU?

[inland hound]

wow

[mighty island]

it's just an aio i'm not that cool yet

[inland hound]

ok lol

[mighty island]

really no reason to do custom water on a 3600x though

360 aio is already questionable

[inland hound]

didnt know you only had a 3600x

does that bottleneck your 3080?

[mighty island]

nah opposite actually

i am gaming at 1440p so the 3080 bottlenecks the 3600x a lot of the time

[inland hound]

oh damn

144fps im guessing?

[mighty island]

i originally wanted a 6900xt but... radeon cards don't exist

165hz monitor

[inland hound]

imagine wanting a Radeon card

altho its good value ig

runs better at 1440p too

[mighty island]

yeah i don't really use the nvidia features

so i just wanted pure 1440p raster

the only game where i see my 3600x being the bottleneck

is running at 180 fps anyways so i really do not care

i also haven't actually played it besides using it as a tech demo for rtx and dlss because i got it for free

lol

[inland hound]

I want the Nvidia features myself, AMD software is kinda useless to me apart from making my GPU talk to the rest of the system

RTX and DLSS are useful

[meager shoal]

isnt AMD software like not the best

[mighty island]

my streaming days are over so i don't need nvenc or nvidia broadcast

couldn't care less about rtx

[inland hound]

plus i kinda want to start getting into some 3D modeling and Machinima stuff so thats cool

[mighty island]

dlss is good but not widespread enough yet

[inland hound]

and I also stream, AMD is horrible for that

[mighty island]

by the time dlss is widespread i'd probably be looking for an upgrade

[inland hound]

yeah this is what I want most

[mighty island]

in 2 years maybe

i have tried nvidia broadcast though

pretty cool software

just not a major buying point for me

[inland hound]

depends on what you do tbh

[mighty island]

i bought a 3080 simply because they have 500 times the stock of radeon cards

[inland hound]

1440p gaming and nothing else, AMD is good

[mighty island]

[inland hound]

higher resolution, plus making your game look good and broadcasting at the same time? Nvidia

[mighty island]

3080 is also a much better mining card but i wasn't thinking about mining back when i bought

[inland hound]

I coulda sworn I heard that the 6800XT was better

I must have been mistaken

[mighty island]

6900XT apparently gets 62 MH/s

[inland hound]

for mining, that is

[mighty island]

compared to 3080 getting 90-100

[inland hound]

MH/s?

[mighty island]

yeah

[inland hound]

/s means per second ik

MH?

[tender mulch]

megahash I think

Hashes

[inland hound]

thats what I thought

that seems like a lot regardless tbh

imagine that just 4 years ago

people would be losing their minds

[mighty island]

well considering the power draw as well

the difference in profit ends up being more than 1.5x

3080 can do 100 mh/s at 220W

[inland hound]

does Ampere draw less power?

[gritty notch]

no

lul

[mighty island]

eth mining hammers the vram but it's not that hard on the core

so power draw isn't that high

[inland hound]

just ethereum? no other currency?

[mighty island]

eth is the main crypto for gpu mining

[gritty notch]

eth is the good one rn

[mighty island]

btc has moved on to asic mining

eth is specifically designed to resist asics afaik

[inland hound]

I should turn on my computer and start mining while I do school on my laptop

that would be beneficial, methinks

a single 5700xt is good for that, right?

[mighty island]

50-55 mh/s

[inland hound]

not horrible then

[mighty island]

https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/amd-rx-5700-xt-8gb

[inland hound]

thats 3.62 dollars per day on eth

i have a wallet set up, might as well

[mighty island]

i like that it only uses resources that you aren't using

and backs off a bit when you're doing light gaming

very unintrusive on normal usage

[inland hound]

I do heavy gaming

but still

I have a lot of time I am not using my computer and am instead using my laptop

so eth mining would be very beneficial

plus im getting a 3080 hopefully pretty soon

[mighty island]

most of my gaming is light now since i want to play with my gf but she's only got an i5-1035g1

nice to be able to get 92 mh/s while playing stardew or 70 mh/s while playing genshin lol

[inland hound]

stardew is a nice game

helps with depression

[mighty island]

i felt like i was wasting my 3080 watching it not even crack 1% usage for hours

[inland hound]

XD

$3.6 / day is actually pretty damn good

for what it is, at least

[mighty island]

i paid $770 for my card and make $6/day including the increased electricity cost

[inland hound]

only have one tho

so how long would it take for you to make it back

[mighty island]

so it's on pace to pay for itself in a little more than 4 months

[inland hound]

nice

[mighty island]

if crypto doesn't crash before then lol

[inland hound]

paid around $400 for mine, times 3.6 per day

lemme do the math

[mighty island]

i'm just trying to cash out as often as possible

crypto is too volatile to keep around imo

[inland hound]

111.11111111 days

[lone pond]

4 months and a week or two

[mighty island]

not bad

i started out with nicehash which pays in btc

[inland hound]

what are you using now?

[mighty island]

in the first 2 days i saw btc price go from 36k to 28k back to 32k

so i was like

yeah nope i'm going to mine eth

[inland hound]

yeah bitcoin is way too volatile

[mighty island]

eth is more stable for now but only time can tell if it'll crash too

[inland hound]

we will see

[mighty island]

i do expect it to eventually

[inland hound]

whats a single eth worth?

[inland hound]

of course it will

[mighty island]

$1343.44 right now

[inland hound]

xDAI looks like it is made to stay stable at $1 for a while

[mighty island]

btc is at $32331.20

[inland hound]

so its worth 32x more

nice

mind walking me through setting up a miner later?

[mighty island]

sure

nicehash is the easiest it does all the work for you

ethermine is a bit harder to set up

[inland hound]

Ive worked with annoying software before

[mighty island]

i found phoenixminer to be the easiest software to use ethermine with

[inland hound]

how are they all different?

[mighty island]

and it has one of the lowest devfees

[inland hound]

wait you have to pay to do this?

[mighty island]

no

[inland hound]

devfee?

[mighty island]

they just take a certain % of your earnings

phoenixminer takes 0.65%

[inland hound]

ah

[mighty island]

i've seen other softwares do 1%

[inland hound]

phoenixminer sounds like the way to go then

[mighty island]

easier than writing your own miner and algorithm to save 4.6 cents per day lol

[inland hound]

the pennies add up

but true

[mighty island]

by the time my 3080 has paid for itself the dev fees will add up to less than $6

seems like a fine way to say thanks

[inland hound]

thats not bad at all

I would gladly pay $6 tbh

a fine software deserves a donation

[gritty notch]

im a fine software

gime

[inland hound]

no

gonna use the etherium to pay for spiro after I pay off my GPU

you aint getting any of that

a single dose is .33 dollars, and I can make 3.6 dollars per day

math checks out

ok so I did a bit more math

lets say im using 500w (probably an overestimation), 24 hours a day

one kWh costs 12.14 cents

that comes out to 1.4 dollars per day in electricity costs

[mighty island]

500w would be more like 3x 5700xt

for a single 5700xt mining 200-220w total system power is more likely

[inland hound]

how much is one then?

[inland hound]

so a gross overestimation then

one sec

[mighty island]

it doesn't fully load the core

and it does nothing to the cpu

[inland hound]

0.69 (nice) cents per day, then

[mighty island]

currently my cpu is drawing 22W package power and my gpu is drawing 225W total power

total system power is only a little bit higher than the sum of that

and that's a 3080

[inland hound]

ok so then thats 0.69 cents per day in electricity. Subtracting that from mining, I would be making about 2.9 dollars in eth per day.

still a pretty good sum

[mighty island]

you can get a 5700xt to consume 150W while mining at optimal efficiency

undervolted and power limited

i keep separate profiles on afterburner for mining and gaming

[inland hound]

lets say 170 then, including my 3800x

0.49 cents/day

would need to set that up in Afterburner tho

[mighty island]

it may be more interesting to see how much your pc takes during typical idle usage

and take the power usage delta

rather than absolute

[inland hound]

idle is just sitting there with windows open, no other programs?

[mighty island]

nah stuff like web browsing

[inland hound]

ah ok

one sec

[mighty island]

excluding the time you would normally have it turned off

i used to turn off my pc every night but i've been letting it mine overnight

[inland hound]

just opened a bunch of tabs and discord

sorry for low res

bad monitor

[mighty island]

so about 50 watts

and cpu?

[inland hound]

didnt check

[mighty island]

can assume 20-25 for ryzen idle

[inland hound]

its a 3800x, how much can it draw?

[mighty island]

ryzen actually idles much higher than intel

[inland hound]

makes sense tbh

[mighty island]

my 3600x idles at 20-25

10400f build i did recently idled at 4

[inland hound]

add two more cores and a higher base clock

30w?

35?

[mighty island]

doubt it tbh, extra cores probably sleeping anyways lol

[inland hound]

true

whats the 3600x base clock?

[mighty island]

3.8, but my power plan has it idle at 3.4

[inland hound]

oh nice

Dont think i have anything special set up for my 3800x so thats 3.9 base clock

like you said tho, cores probably sleeping

[mighty island]

[inland hound]

Justmel's franxx emotes

nice

[mighty island]

i was the one that invited you to it lol

[inland hound]

oh lol

anyways

Phoenixminer

anything special or do I just connect my wallet and start mining?

so after all the math is said and done

I am making 3.09 dollars in ethereum per day average

[mighty island]

not bad

[inland hound]

thats 129 days to pay off my GPU, assuming i keep it on the whole time with no hiccups

actually I should go set it up now

class is over

[mighty island]

let me know if you need any help

[inland hound]

small file

5.1 megs

zipped, of course

[frozen seal]

dayum fancy boi

[inland hound]

Browser says it is dangerous

?

now it's Unconfirmed [numbers].crdownload?

@mighty island

browser wont let me use the file

[mighty island]

antiviruses always detect mining software as false positives because of people who aren't trying to mine downloading miners that will mine for attackers

[inland hound]

huh

well I cant access the file

[mighty island]

chrome or firefox?

[inland hound]

iridium, chromium based

[mighty island]

on firefox i was just able to right click and allow download

oh

well you can try that

sometimes chrome doesn't allow

[inland hound]

my only options are 'discard' and 'learn more'

lemme try learn more

that just brings me to how chrome blocks downloads

lemme try another mirror

also dangerous

lemme download firefox rq

[mighty island]

chrome just thinks it knows what you want more than you do

it's annoying

[inland hound]

I used Brave before, which is firefox based AFAIK, but all money made from that piece of software goes to a POS that I definitely do not want to support

so I switched to iridium

[gritty notch]

chromium

[frozen seal]

i've been using brave too long to switch ;-;

[inland hound]

please switch

[gritty notch]

right now only gecko derivatives are uhhhhh

waterfox, pale moon, and seamonkey

might be some more but nothing worth mentioning

[green harness]

No, that's above msrp (for a previous gen part) and even with inflated msrps a 3060Ti is about 500

[lavish otter]

Is a 1080 worth 800

[solar mist]

no, lol

[lavish otter]

The fact that they are charging that makes me sick

Mostly because I bought my card for a little under 600 ages ago

[solar mist]

yeah, maybe 5 years ago a 1080 was worth that much.

[green harness]

How much do you all think I can get for a passively cooled gt710? $100? Selling points: it is technically a gpu, completely silent operation (no fans!!!) 😆

[inland hound]

kek

ask @willow surge

[lavish otter]

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT-710-2GD3H-LP/dp/B01AZHOX5K

[green harness]

To be clear I am not selling or scalping that gpu

[gritty notch]

is it the asus one

i like the asus one

[green harness]

Also, I bought it used for almost half that. Only $28

[lavish otter]

28!?

[gritty notch]

the new 5 hdmi one

710 is pog video adapter

[green harness]

It's the MSI one. The same one as at that Amazon link above, but much cheaper

[willow surge]

wow

um

LMFAO

[green harness]

Just got it so my pc could run before I got a real gpu

[gritty notch]

actually excited for gt 1010 with 5 hdmi

[tepid pine]

Alright guys. I got a friend with 500$ asking me what gpu to buy. What’s the best move for him.

[willow surge]

@green harness i did the same thing

[lavish otter]

Wait

[gritty notch]

to wait several months

[willow surge]

i got the asus 2gb ddr5 one

bc it had 4 hdmi's

[tepid pine]

That’s what I said

[willow surge]

ill send the link to the one i got

[green harness]

Yeah, wait. Or get a 3060Ti, or a 3070 FE

[willow surge]

in terms of a gaming card the ddr3 2gb is the best one bc it can overclock higher

[lavish otter]

Or buy a GT710 in the mean time

[tepid pine]

He’s got a 1650 super so he’s desperate for a new gpu

3060 in stock?

[willow surge]

3060 not out yet 😂

[green harness]

Nothing is in stock. So if they want a new real GPU they either have to go in the F5 hunt/get lucky during a BB drop (next drop next week I think), or pay a scalper

[willow surge]

tbh a really good choice

[inland hound]

3060Ti

[willow surge]

or

[inland hound]

3070

[willow surge]

get intel and run off igpu

[tepid pine]

That’s what I meant

[willow surge]

intel worth it more than ever rn

[inland hound]

please stop, bigga

[green harness]

3070 FE is really the best, but trying to get a specific model of gpu right now is rough

[dreamy dragon]

BloodyPurge#9212 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[willow surge]

mf really pinged me and when i try to talk tells me to stop LMFAO

im jk no toxicity lmao

[inland hound]

talking about the GT 710

see above

[willow surge]

yea

ik that

like as a placeholder gpu right

[lavish otter]

Placeholder gpus are best, I still have an INNO3D GT 730

[gritty notch]

i have a 740 sc from evga

beast gpu

[lavish otter]

Best 4 gigs of ddr3 GPU overkill I've ever had

[chilly wing]

Should I buy the 3060ti, or wait until the 3060 comes out at the end of February? I'm not in a hurry.

[lavish otter]

I'd say just wait until the GPU markets starts to stabilize and prices start becoming reasonable

[solar mist]

Usually you should buy the best you can afford, so if you can afford a 3060Ti why not get it? it will have better gaming performance.

[subtle flicker]

🍞

[civic mauve]

i want a new gpu!

god danmit

[carmine dune]

Anything drop yet tonight?

[faint steeple]

@carmine dune did u ever hear back from newegg?

[carmine dune]

Yeah lol they gave me a $40 gift card and an unconvincing sorry

[faint steeple]

dang thats dumb

[carmine dune]

Yep

[faint steeple]

all they have to do is ship you out the next available card like smh

[carmine dune]

Right?

Just treat it as a backorder

[faint steeple]

exactly

[meager shoal]

Better than just getting a sorry

[meager shoal]

Try and get a 3060ti from BB when they drop

It’s MSRP anyways

[lone pond]

People underestimate the 3060 ti, it's a great deal. You pay 1/3 the price of a 2080 Super for 4 less fps, and $100 less then a 3070 for 10 less fps. I mean cmon that's hard to beat

true...kinda dissapointed on the 3060 tho

[dawn plover]

fr

[little cipher]

How long is the wait for shipping.. been stuck at waiting for pick up for 4 days

[drifting anvil]

Y’all know how to get ahold of a 3080 rog strix?

Been wanting to get one

[dawn plover]

if there's a drop, some good soul will tell us here

if they don't then well, i think there's livestreams of stock checkers or something like that on twitch

[fossil talon]

Well then, local Memory Express in my city had a restock of 200 3060tis, 3070s, and 3080s. Still some left over today, I might get another 3070 tomorrow

[dawn plover]

another 3070

sheesh

[fossil talon]

Not for myself lol, I have friends over the city who want one and don't get lucky as I do

Also an inner community that buy and sells at MSRP+tax to keep out the scalpers

[dawn plover]

yoooo, that's cool

[fossil talon]

Yep I myself had now distributed 4 cards, bought 6 cards together. The founder of the group bought 17 cards as today and distributed 16 of them

[dawn plover]

sheesh

[fossil talon]

Again everything is at MSRP+tax and safe distance for Covid

[dawn plover]

dang

[weak pasture]

That is awesome.

I looked up Memory Express just for fun (USA) and they have some good prices on cards, and had some 3070, 3090, and 6800 cards in stock.

[fossil talon]

Yep, there's been on time shipments

I live near one of the main distribution centers (also the site where they ship things online), so it's pretty accessible to me

[upper sinew]

i randomly get my desktop icons turn black when i hover over them and stay like that. Is this a OS or gpu issue?

[wooden drift]

Is a GTX 1080 still good today

[dawn plover]

yeah

[somber forge]

im fairly new to computer and am looking for an okay graphics card my budget is around $150 can someone help me and give advice

[wooden drift]

Im trying to get a 1080 classified of some guy i know

[dawn plover]

at 150 bucks, the 1650 performs well

[somber forge]

and like one step above that would be.....?

[dawn plover]

1650s, prob the rx570 though i'm not very familiar with that card, the 1660, a 1060 6gb, 1070

what exactly is your pricepoint?

[somber forge]

well 150 is what i thought would buy me a good one but

[dawn plover]

but

[somber forge]

if there was like a way better one for only 30-50 bucks would be reasonable

[dawn plover]

i see

the 1650s is normally 180 bucks, although right now, the gpu market is wonky

[somber forge]

ok ill look at it thanks

[dawn plover]

the rx570 is also a viable option at 170 bucks

[somber forge]

is it better or worse

[weak pasture]

I have an MSI RX 570 Armor OC 8gb currently. Looking to upgrade but this card is great.

[somber forge]

im thinking about the rx570 and 1650

i dont know wahst better

[dawn plover]

frick i forgot that there's a 4gb and 8gb variants

[somber forge]

whats the difference

[dawn plover]

well first of all, the amount of vram

but i'm not familiar with those cards since i never cared about radeon up until now

[jagged sequoia]

1650's a little better

[somber forge]

ok

and whats the difference between 4gb and 8gb

[weak pasture]

How much memory the card has before it has to cycle

[somber forge]

so 4gb is better?

[weak pasture]

Similar to PC ram

8 is better

[somber forge]

is that good

[weak pasture]

You'll mostly notice the difference in load times, and high graphics areas. For instance, a capitol city in WoW

At that price, I'd just try and get a 3060ti, or a 5700 if you want Radeon

[dawn plover]

yeah as i said, the gpu market is wonky

try buying used if you want to maximize performance at the 150-200 dollar range

[somber forge]

well im at around $175 and the rx570 and 1650 have been reccomended

[dawn plover]

look into the 1650s as well

[somber forge]

ok

ight ive found this i think its good can somone verify that

[dawn plover]

you should pay at most 140 bucks for a 1050ti

not 190

[round crown]

^

[dawn plover]

get this for your price range https://www.ebay.com/itm/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-1070-Founders-Edition-8GB-GDDR5-Graphics-Card/265028070116?epid=26022951909&hash=item3db4e76ae4:g:S2sAAOSwspZgD7uG

if you're willing to buy used

[dusky locust]

hey do guys think i should get the rtx 3060 ti with a 5600x

[next leaf]

yes

[dusky locust]

ok

[next leaf]

what kinda question is that

[dusky locust]

a question on parts i should get for a pc

[next leaf]

fair point

well considering they're really popular and honestly really good then yes you should pair em

[dusky locust]

thanks dude

[next leaf]

np

[wide mesa]

Is this https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-RX-5500-XT/dp/B082G2XDLL/ref=sr_1_10?crid=3M987XF42CTTL&dchild=1&keywords=5500+xt+graphics+card&qid=1611717674&sprefix=5500+%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-10 good cuz my fren is looking to buy it for his first pc

If so @ me

[coarse spindle]

well

@somber forge for 175 ish you can find a 580 on aliexpress

if your lucky an 8g

i found a great XFX card listing. wish I could share but censors dont like

[dusky magnet]

is the price the same as msrp or is this also inflated

[coarse spindle]

to be fair 175 for a a 580 is pretty OK

but a 980 is a lot better and you CAN find them for 175 ish local used

those 2 are not bad deals RN

along with the r9 fury if your lucky

[late dust]

is there a msi gtx 1070 gaming x water block

I am done looking for the new cards

[meager shoal]

dont give up its not worth

[late dust]

can not find a single card

out there new ones

[meager shoal]

wait for a BB card\

[late dust]

BB

?

[tender mulch]

http://www.barrowint.com/plus/view.php?aid=995

[late dust]

THAT FOR THE FOUNDERS

sorry caps

[tender mulch]

MSI

You said MSI

[meager shoal]

ohhhhhh

[late dust]

MSI gtx 1070 gaming x 8gb

[tender mulch]

Or this one https://www.bykski.us/collections/gtx-10x0-series/products/bykski-n-ms1080gm-x-full-coverage-gpu-water-block-clear-n-ms1080gm-x

[late dust]

ok cool but cant get it yet

another wait list lol

thank you

i could not find that water block . Again thank you

Is it worth the effort to sli two of those

to reach good marks in 4k

[tender mulch]

no, games don't use SLI anymore

[late dust]

I am building a new system and doing water loop

so far using the Lian Li dynamic Razer edition case, ryzen 7 3700x and corsair vengeance pro 32gb

need a graphics card or just use the 1070 gaming x

power supply is a corsair 850w 80+ gold series

needing case fans (need pointers on this)

graphics card

water loop

[tender mulch]

1070 isn't a bad card but 4K is out of the question

If you want 4K you're going 3070 or higher

6800XT

[late dust]

that sucks lol

what you guys recommend for case fans

[tender mulch]

1070 for 1080p or even light 1440p would be fine

[late dust]

how long does the shortage usually last for these new graphic cards

[jagged sequoia]

this shortage isn't usual, no one really knows

[late dust]

any of you guys selling one

[tender mulch]

▶️ 9. No sweepstakes/giveaways, e-begging, trading or selling on this server.

[late dust]

cool

as far as help picking parts you guys can help

[tender mulch]

HA! I knew that was a joke weary, that was for smiley lol

might have been the GT710 that gave it away, IDK

@lavish otter

And yeah, ppl here help you pick out parts

[late dust]

case fans

what a good fan

[lavish otter]

Oof, I'm not good with fans, ask the boyos in #cases-psu-and-cooling

[tender mulch]

People like the Arctic P12 but I don't like the fluid bearing

If oyu don't want RGB, these are good dual ball fans https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-F12-PWM-PST-CO/dp/B007YLUC0Q

[lavish otter]

I scavenge my fans from my old cases and just shove them in, so I get ugly mismatches all the time

[tender mulch]

Nobody likes the fans I like cuz they're expensive but they also have a magnetic levitation bearing. Super long life. Corsair ML's

nobody sees your fans anyway

[jagged sequoia]

I was literally about to joke about ml's if they wanted to spend a bunch of money lmao

[tender mulch]

maglev bearing

I'd avoid any fan with a Fluid bearing

They leak and die

If you want REALLY expensive fans get RGB ones

I use the SilentWings fans on my AIO

IMO, beQuiet makes some nice fans also

[late dust]

cool

[lavish otter]

Mixing it up with my old Rosewills and Fractal Design fans in a Lian Li Lancool II

[tender mulch]

I have a box of spare fans too lol

[lavish otter]

Though I should get some new fans, I'll run out trying to fill both the Lian Li and the Fractal case

[late dust]

well i am out for the night see you guys later

[lavish otter]

'Night

[late dust]

i got those links saved for the water block

thanks again

[lone pond]

ML120 pro RGB

[jagged sequoia]

I have six of them and it makes me not want to spend more money on fans ever again lmao

[lone pond]

is the 1660 super good

Might as well wait a couple months to get a 3070

[haughty glacier]

ye

[placid shuttle]

I still have a gtx 750 ti lol

[upper zinc]

Should I buy a 2080 super for £453

[lone pond]

@upper zinc from where?

[upper zinc]

U mean the manufacturer

[lone pond]

the store and manufacturer, so like newegg an msi for example

[upper zinc]

It’s from gigabyte WINDFORCE and I have a local store

[lone pond]

try to get a 3060 ti or 3070 if you can, for a 3060ti you're paying a lot less for 4fps less

but if that's your best option and you're desperate that's an ok deal

[scarlet lance]

That's a good deal

buying into the new generation would be a better idea but that's still good

[rare hull]

I need an rtx 3070 at msrp

[round crown]

yea good luck with that

[dusk oasis]

@rare hull and i want a unicorn

we got the same chances of having what we want

[shell mesa]

and i want my dad to come home but that wont happen

[lone pond]

[rare hull]

Ahhh crap , I got my answer

Are there any gpu’s out there at msrp?

[round crown]

uhhhh nope

unless u get really lucky

[rare hull]

I really want to spend Max 1800$ on my build so I need a GPU at a reasonable price

I’ve spent so far around 920$ , I need storage which is around 240$ , GPU around 400-800 and peripherals will come at 600$

But 1800$ is only for the pc itself

[green harness]

A Best Buy drop is your best bet. The FE cards have still been selling at the original MSRP, so if you get really lucky you can get a 3070 for 499 or a 3080 for 699. They've been dropping every two weeks between 9am est and noon est more or less. Last drop was on 1/22, so next drop is likely next week. Often drops were on Tuesdays, but they've switched it up every now and then

If you're counting on a BB drop I recommend looking up a guide to their checkout process as it differs from most others to help with bots

[chilly wing]

I have $622 CA for a GPU or $466 US. I also get around $10 US a week and I was wondering what graphics card I should get. This is my first PC and I'm not in much of a hurry.

[upper sinew]

a 3060ti FE or one cheaper end partner cards, or a 3070 FE if you are lucky

[chilly wing]

thx ill look for one

[fossil talon]

Definitely aim for 3060ti founders or AIBs and 3060 founders/AIB (coming out at the end of February)

[tender mulch]

Best Buy is the only retailer for FE cards

[chilly wing]

Whats the difference between FE and regular? Im new.

[tender mulch]

FE == Founders Edition

The cards made by nVidia themselves

[fossil talon]

Founders is made from Nvidia while AIBS are made from MSI, etc

@chilly wing since you are Canadian as well, I suggest going to your local Canada Computers or Memory Express for a higher chance to get a GPU instead of buying it online

[chilly wing]

ok thx

[chilly wing]

ill look at both thx

[tender mulch]

I don't know who sells them in Canada tbh

[chilly wing]

me neither

[fossil talon]

Yep unlike the US, we don't have a massive chain of electronic stores like Microcenter. Instead we have smaller companies, Canada Computers and Memory Express, that specialize in computer hardware

Memory Express is focused more in Western Canada but has some stores in Ontario. Canada Computers specializes in Eastern Canada but has some stores in BC.

[chilly wing]

Yeah I wish there was a microcenter in Canada.

[lone pond]

I wish there was a micro center less than 200 miles away from me

[haughty glacier]

microcenter is like pc parts mall/grocery store right?

was there a noticeable diff on a zotac 1650s twin fan and palit 1650s stormx oc

except the physical differences

[chilly wing]

From what ive heard.

[dawn plover]

it's basically a cooler best buy

[weary kraken]

Anyone know of a adjustable gpu mount?

[chilly wing]

https://www.amazon.ca/EZDIY-FAB-Multi-Angle-Adjustment-Vertical-Graphics/dp/B086GMHLYL

[chilly wing]

Maybe that might work. I only have a laptop right now and I'm building my first computer so don't take my word for it.

[weary kraken]

I saw that one it’s the only one I could find

And I don’t like the reviews

@chilly wing

[chilly wing]

yeah sorry

[green harness]

Some case manufacturers sell vertical mounts specifically designed to work with their cases, so you could see if the manufacturer of your case offers something.

[ancient pagoda]

i need some help with my pc

i did all i can and still the problem still keeps happening

my pc keeps randomly black screening on both monitors

i think its the graphics card

since when i used my cpu integrated graphics didnt have the same issue

i also searched the windows reliability history and it gives me livekernelevent

[lone pond]

RIP anyone without a 3000 card or 2000

[ancient pagoda]

the prices are going crazy

[dreamy dragon]

Abdullah#1571 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ancient pagoda]

brug

[lone pond]

Lol

[ancient pagoda]

i got my 3080 luckily but at the same time my graphics card is playin 🙃

[lone pond]

Ez i have 3070 no need to worry about prices anymore

Glad I built it in 202

2020

[karmic crag]

still waiting for the 3060 ti 😔✊

[lone pond]

Good luck with that lmao

2070Super at 1000 about lol

[meager shoal]

Y’all say prices are going crazy but I haven’t seen any increase, unless u mean scalper prices???

[upper sinew]

wait when you sign up for the newegg shuffle do you have to pay anything?

@tender mulch

cus i think i accidentally spent 670 on a zotac 3070

[lone pond]

Yeah

You shuffle and then you get a notification to buy a "bundle"

[meager shoal]

No you don’t have to buy anything unless u want to

[upper sinew]

so no upfront cost just to click the button

[lone pond]

well you get a notification and it will say "you can buy it"

No

No upfront cost

[meager shoal]

Nope

[lone pond]

Until you actually grab the bundle

[upper sinew]

alr prec

[lone pond]

Is there a new shuffle on Newegg?

[brisk flame]

https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

[karmic crag]

does best buy still restock the 20 series gpus

[brisk flame]

no

theres a chance that the 2060 and 2060s are being rereleased soon

so they might? but dont plan on it

[sinful crater]

Whats a good card for 200 or less(after tax)

Usd

[marsh charm]

Is the Newegg shuffle every day?

[ripe meadow]

That's what they say on their Twitter

[azure crater]

does new egg have the bloody a70

[echo sparrow]

What to do if I don’t have a gpu cable but I have a gpu that needs one?

[coarse spindle]

depends on gpu

on must you can technically use it without pcie power but it hounds you

[tender mulch]

You get an adapter from molex or sata (if there is such a thing)

or you get a new power supply

[coarse spindle]

generally those adapters use molex

[tender mulch]

For sure

NOt sure if sata even exists but you never know

[carmine dune]

Do we know if a drop is happening tonight?

[lavish otter]

What? I've never been able to use a gpu that has slots for pcie power without plugging it in, they never turn on. What gpus are you talking about?

[coarse spindle]

uuh

the gt7800*

[lavish otter]

Does that even have a pcie power slot?

[coarse spindle]

yep

worked on a couple others too

but to be fair no super new cards

nvidia keeps bothering me about it

[carmine dune]

@tender mulch @meager shoal seen any drops yet tonight?

[meager shoal]

Nope just the shuffle but It’s too late for it

[carmine dune]

Shuffle had combos I didn't want anyways

[meager shoal]

There hasn’t been a big drop like all day

[carmine dune]

Seems they only had a separate 3080 the day I tried 😩

[lone pond]

It will be a time when eventually Jensen loses his oven

[hollow heath]

What's the price of a EVGA 2070 XC Ultra rn?

[tender mulch]

Stopped production of those last July

Not sure how many more are still in the market

[hollow heath]

I got one and I'm just curious

I've seen the normal XC cards going for like 600

[tender mulch]

Don't think they're actually selling for that

Ebay is full of bid and dump right now

People win the bid then immediately cancel

Ask how I know

[hollow heath]

You do that? lmao

[tender mulch]

NO

I had it done to me

[hollow heath]

Fr?

[tender mulch]

Yes

Just because you see sold doesn't mean sold lol

[green harness]

EVGA dropped some past gen cards late last week oddly enough. Maybe they found them behind the breakroom couch or something?

[hollow heath]

How much you think I can get for mine tho

[prime epoch]

Hi iam new her new to building PC's i have the data but none completely match off my mobo req SAPPHIRE NITRO RADEON RX 580 8G GDDR5, Biostar Gaming Radeon RX 550 2GB GDDR5 128-Bit DirectX 12 PCI Express 3.0 DVI-D Dual Link, HDMI, DisplayPort could any one help me out please?

[hollow heath]

What's your question? @prime epoch

[icy cove]

38 fps on 1440p rust 😎

(not good)

[dawn plover]

sheesh

[icy cove]

it had 90ish players

[dawn plover]

at least it's playable

[limber rivet]

Funny how I declined my Newegg sweep stakes order of powercolor 6800 for 400$ over MSRP and it still hasn’t popped for the gen pop. Don’t get suckered

[icy cove]

it was a battle server, lots of chaos

[dawn plover]

lmao were there a bunch of particles and stuff

[icy cove]

but still horribly under-performing or my processor is a lot worse than I thought it was

[tender mulch]

You mean new MSRP after tariffs

:/

[limber rivet]

Nope 600 for non XT and they wanted 944+tax

[tender mulch]

Hmmmmm

Aorus is listed at 719 MSRP 6800 non-XT

And that was before the tariffs

Microcenter is $875 for a PowerColor https://www.microcenter.com/product/632323/powercolor-amd-radeon-rx-6800-fighter-overclocked-triple-fan-16gb-gddr6-pcie-40-graphics-card

hi everyone i am a new pc builder and have been needing to find the right graphics card for a intel i7 truing to look for a good budget rtx graphics card from nivadia

[dawn plover]

which i7

[normal pollen]

9700k

[tender mulch]

Resolution?

1080p?

1440p?

[normal pollen]

1080

[tender mulch]

RTX 2060/3060

[normal pollen]

ok thanks

[wicked pasture]

hello everyone, is the best graphics card to get for a pc with a 300 watt psu a GTX 1650 low profile?

[hollow heath]

What's a good GPU for about 500 rn?

[weary kraken]

@wicked pasture go to pc part picker and check the Wattage

@hollow heath I think 1660 super is around that much

Good for 1080p gaming

[hollow heath]

Wait for 500????????

Isn't that 2070 Super territory?

[weary kraken]

Idk that’s how much my friend got it for

If you get the 1660super at a store and wait until they get it in stock you can pick one up for around 400$ Canadian

[hollow heath]

I have a 2070 I want to sell idk how much I can get for it right now

I have an EVGA 2070 XC Ultra

[lone pond]

do you overclock it?

[hollow heath]

I have it OC yes

[weary kraken]

@hollow heath check what there going for used locally around u

1080p?

[static rock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl6ptniHQsI

wait only a 60hz monitor?

[weary kraken]

200?

FPS

[lone pond]

for a 3060 if you were to get 100 fps on a 3070, you would get 90 fps on a 3060 ti for example.

for 100 usd less

[weary kraken]

Around 150

[hollow heath]

What y'all think I can get for like 500 USD right now

[static rock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-V1P1XUQBQ alright this one has dlss rt on

[lone pond]

and in terms of a 2080, you would get 4 fps less for 1/3 the price

[static rock]

cyberpunk has way more polygons

[lone pond]

for comparison witha 3060 ti

DO NOT BUY A CARD OFF EBAY

DO NOT

no

please don't tell me

[tender mulch]

Definitely no

[wicked pasture]

Ok thanks

[weary kraken]

Np

[rocky quartz]

anyone know if a 3090 can be bottlenecked by a 9900k?

[round crown]

everything bottlenecks a 3090 lmao

[rocky quartz]

lol

ok

ill just overclock to 6GHz

lol

but the vram is too low on the 3080 for ray tracing + 4k

i may wait until the 3080ti

yeah i know

Amd definitely outplayed Nvidia on the vram

true

DLSS is nasty

[opal raptor]

Hey all, I got a 3070 gigabyte oc white edition today, but was getting less performance than my previous card, a 1060. I updated the drivers and reseated the graphics card, but still no increase. It seems to be running sporadically. Sometimes its fine, but other times its awful with <30frames

[tender mulch]

Use DDU to wipe the drivers. Then install fresh

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

[rocky quartz]

yeah. i pefer performace over graphics but i can also enjoy having both

@opal raptor CPU?

[opal raptor]

Okay I will try that vintage racer

Ryzen 5 3600

[rocky quartz]

yeah def not cpu prob

[tender mulch]

Driver prob

Leftover remnants of old driver mucking with the new card

nVidia's Clean Install doesn't really cut it

neither does AMD's

[rocky quartz]

@sterile parcel nice

[opal raptor]

Would it be drivers from the 1060?

[tender mulch]

Yes

If you didn't wipe them and install fresh

Definitely yes

[opal raptor]

Okay I will certainly try that thank you

[tender mulch]

YW

[prime epoch]

i have the Infor for the card im looking at and the data card i thinking about buying 600.00 is a bit much dont do game

[late dust]

hello

[prime epoch]

GF GT1030 PCI-E 2GB GDDR5 W/HDMI/DVI-D this will this work for MSI GeForce GT 1030 DirectX 12 GT 1030 2GH LP OC 2GB 64-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 (uses x4) HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card

[late dust]

this is crud waiting and watching all these people with the new graphic cards asking way to much

[prime epoch]

agree not many can aford 600-1500 for a grafics card

[quartz pewter]

anybody think I should just get a used 2080ti or wait and try to get a 3080? Before I wanted to wait because some guy at a microcenter said that stock will prob be better by jan or feb, and now prices went up and its still basically impossible to get one

[late dust]

does anybody know when these companies are gonna release to gammers

seems like bot thing is all over the place

[quartz pewter]

Yeah it is

[tender mulch]

If all you need is video out with no games, this is fine

[quartz pewter]

a gt 1030?

[prime epoch]

so it will work for a GF GT1030 PCI-E 2GB GDDR5 W/HDMI/DVI-D

[quartz pewter]

thats going to take a while to export anything

[tender mulch]

Yes

Same chipset

Just a different manufacturer

[late dust]

1070 works really good for what it worth

[quartz pewter]

Yeah when you use its encoder

[late dust]

i use a 1070 in current

[quartz pewter]

thats pretty decent

[late dust]

new build hoping to get founders 3080

[quartz pewter]

I built a totally new system a while ago in December and I was thinking I could get an rtx 3080 by jan or feb, nah ill be waiting a while.

[late dust]

no luck for 3months

[quartz pewter]

more than that they say 2nd quarter

the whole year id say

[late dust]

most likley

[quartz pewter]

Some worker at microcenter told me theyd be more avaliable by feb, There are no signs of that

[late dust]

by that time the price will be outragous

[tender mulch]

Well, you've got low die yields, coupled with high demand, coupled with the Chinese Lunar New Year coming up

Gonna be a rough month

[late dust]

My new build is gonna be a water loop system

[quartz pewter]

Im just considering upgrading to a 1080ti or 2080 from my rx 590

[late dust]

2080 is really good so i hear

[quartz pewter]

At least my system wont be poorly bottleneck with a 10850k

I just want something that I can edit and play smoothly with out stutters from my gpu

my gpu is a 20% bottleneck in 1080p alr

[late dust]

1080ti are still aggressive

[quartz pewter]

Yeah, It can still run 4k pretty well still

But I mainly stream and play games at 1080p and need the nvec encoder

cause uploading 4k vids and streaming on an rx 590 is a pain

[late dust]

have an older system that ran off Radeon 570

xfx

[quartz pewter]

I used to have an i5 6500 and rx 590 and upgraded to a 10850k with 32gb ram same gpu

[late dust]

run good

?

[quartz pewter]

Yeah I only need a good gpu lol

wdym by run good?

[late dust]

ohh my 570 did good for streaming but sucked at games at high resolutions

just seeing if yours did the same

[quartz pewter]

If I streamed off my gpu it would be fine, but the performance difference was worst

If I were to play Fortnite, Id run max 200 fps while streaming, its was immensely bottlenecked by my i5 6500.

[late dust]

I just wonder how much better the 3060ti founders card is

[tender mulch]

Better than?

A 570?

[late dust]

i know its newer etc.... but what is the frame rate

[kindred jewel]

What’s a good gpu both for mining and gaming?

[late dust]

on 4k

[tender mulch]

You're looking at a roughly 150% boost

Provided your CPU can keep up

[late dust]

ryzen 7 3700x

[tender mulch]

Oh ye you'll be fine

[late dust]

want to sale my current rig is ebay better than Amazon

i usually just use craiglist

[weary kraken]

@late dust put it up on Craigslist and eBay

[lone pond]

3060 ti

[quasi flicker]

My 2070 Super almost looks like it's sagging more, but that could be me. Any recommendations on if I need a bracket or not, either way? Card is specifically a Gigabyte Windforce 3X 2070 Super.

[glad sonnet]

Does anyone want to buy a kidney so I can afford a card?

[quasi flicker]

So that you can afford a 1050?

[glad sonnet]

Or I could fake my own kidnapping but im sure noone would pay for me...

[tender mulch]

The F on the end designates GPU or not

So if it has an F like 9400F, it has no GPU

Regular 9400 means it has a GPU

9400K, K means it's unlocked and can be overclocked

[meager shoal]

Any custom cables yet for the 3070 FE??

[terse verge]

which gpu is better 1660 super or the ASrock phantom Gaming D RX570?

[tender mulch]

1660

pray for it not to be a brick

Feather went to his mother and asked,"Mother, why is my name Feather?" And the mother replied,"because when you were born, a feather fell on your forehead." Satisfied, Feather went away.

After Feather, Droplet went to his mother and asked,"Mother, why is my name Droplet?" And the mother replied,"because when you were born, a water droplet fell on your forehead." Satisfied, Droplet went away.

After both Feather and Droplet went, the third child shuffled over to his mother and said,"hur dur rung a bung?", to which the mom replied "what do you want brick?"

what

[lone pond]

no they're saying you could have gotten scammed, you shouldn't have bought anything from ebay

[stone prairie]

to this point hes probably joking lol

[lone pond]

you should never buy anything off ebay when it comes to computer parts. You should only buy from local stores, Newegg, Amazon, Best Buy, B&H etc, because you don't jknow what you're actually getting from ebat. You could've been scammed

[karmic crag]

well, i wouldn't say never

[tender mulch]

An underpriced brand new GPU for less than MSRP though? Heh. Good luck with that

[karmic crag]

as a rule of thumb it's almost always better to buy new, from a trusted retailer, but if you want used parts, ebay is one of the more reputable sites

you have to apply common sense too, though

if you read the description and it says "this item is literally a picture of the gpu: no returns" and you didn't read it, then that's on you

[hasty stag]

Not sure if anyone is interested, but Best Buy has the XFX - AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT RAW II available on their site, seen it there since last night. Just throwing it out there.

[karmic crag]

speaking of best buy, do they still sell 20 series cards

[tender mulch]

2070/2080 was discontinued in July of last year

Supposedly the 2060 is still in production

[karmic crag]

are there any sites that still sell 20 series cards

[tender mulch]

Most of them should if they get stock

[fast wing]

I just would like to say that I have been running cyberpunk at very high settings on a 1660 super and it has worked out really well.

[tender mulch]

benchmarks are about 45 FPS on Ultra with that card at 1080p

[fast wing]

no ray tracing, but looking at my buddies photos of 2080ti and it isn't that much difference

I run at 14.

[tender mulch]

It's literally just water reflections with RT on

[fast wing]

some lighting would be pretty interesting

not alot of little puddles in cyber though

I think it isn't really made for rtx so much anyhow, but it looks fantastic

I wonder if the console versions are running well now?

[zenith lagoon]

Nope, there also major frame drops

lol

[tender mulch]

Not on my 3070

[zenith lagoon]

Talking about 20 series

Also

@tender mulch Should I get a BIOS update

For these ^

I have the second latest BIOS installed rn

[tender mulch]

go for it

[zenith lagoon]

Is it worth it?

[tender mulch]

IDK

[zenith lagoon]

Wow

lol

Or I could just get gigabyte utility

and update it from there

the app centre

[zenith lagoon]

Il update all the drivers you said yesterday first tho lmao

[tender mulch]

NEVER update BIOS through Windows
