Ever

[zenith lagoon]

Okok

There is also this

What does this do

@tender mulch

[zenith lagoon]

Do I install the drivers straight from the folder that I downloaded, or go into device manager?

[carmine dune]

Ah yes

[meager shoal]

W price in my opinion

[inland hound]

seems legit

[green harness]

Maybe. Check your tracking

When you buy an item they should give you a tracking number. Only you, UPS, and the seller can answer this question

IDK. Check with UPS. Use google

[random walrus]

Age shouldn't matter for a USPS account

Don't actually need an account to track but it's nice to have

[lone pond]

nvidia start making MCM-GPUs instead of monolithic already so you don't waste wafer space pls thx

[static narwhal]

Thoughts on the evga 3090? I hear it's had a high failure rate

[inland hound]

which one

[static narwhal]

The FTW 3 Ultra Gaming

[inland hound]

its good

[round crown]

that one is good

[static narwhal]

It appears to have some power regulation issues based on the forum's and reviews?

[inland hound]

just get a good 1000w and you will be fine

Phanteks AMP, Focus Gold, etc

[static narwhal]

I heard a number of people have had to rma them

[inland hound]

issues have been fixed

[static narwhal]

I have a seasonic 850w gold

[inland hound]

youll be fine

which seasonic psu?

[static narwhal]

Focus GX 850w

[inland hound]

you should be fine then

what cpu

[static narwhal]

Amd 3800x

Will probably be bottlenecked from my cpu anyway. I'm using all 4 dimm slots and an m.2 ssd

[inland hound]

it wont be

dont worry

3800x is good

buying it for gaming is useless tho

the 3090

[static narwhal]

I certainly hope so! The reviews have me worried, but hopefully they've fixed the power draw issues

I plan on using it for more than gaming though

Needed vram for locally training deep learning algos

[inland hound]

makes sense

[static narwhal]

From what I've read the evga cards were dying from unusual voltage spikes under relatively low load. I might set a voltage limit on it since I'm not as worried about the clocks anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

@inland hound thanks for the help!

[inland hound]

np

have a good day

[formal frigate]

Thoughts on a zotac gtx 970 AMP for $100?

[inland hound]

No

Not for gaming at least

[stone prairie]

how then

[formal frigate]

Honestly its just to get a video output, i dont plan on it getting any great performance

Just something to get started

[static zinc]

its fine

finding any gpu around $100 isnt easy rn thats for sure

[lone pond]

970 for 100$ thats pretty good

not as good as 570 for 100$ or less but considering everything rn, it is decent

[cloud laurel]

In my area 970/1050 ti are in the 50-70$ used range

[cosmic swift]

Opinion on xfx r6 270?

[inland shadow]

How do I mine dogecoin

2 cents rn goin crazy

[random zealot]

lol im my area they are selling 6 year cards for $290.00+ and if you can find a rtx its going for over a grand

[formal frigate]

Also is there any advantage to the gtx 970 being a nonreference card?

[waxen dock]

Yo, is it true or just a fake news?

Will pascal cards support dlss?

Like, my friend was hyped about this.

[wicked hound]

@inland hound @static narwhal 3090 FTW3 isnt good, the high failure rate is real. Fails to keep transient spikes under control. If you keep the power limit at 375w it'll maybe work, but then that's both a gamble and a waste of money

[inland hound]

That’s why I was recommending a higher wattage PSU

[wicked hound]

Also means that you need maybe a 1000w PSU if you have a sensitive transient PSU or OCP on 12v rails (multi rail)

no, good PSU means you now risk killing the card

[inland hound]

How so?

[wicked hound]

the transient loads actually risk damaging the card

[inland hound]

Ah

[wicked hound]

they're literally crazy high sometimes

[inland hound]

I thought I heard about eVGA fixing that in the newer models?

[wicked hound]

They said they'd fix it in vBIOS, but that's impossible cuz hardware issue (unless they just cap general PL). Otherwise havent heard anything about it as afaik it comes from an analog VRM controller

[static narwhal]

guess I'm screwed then haha

[static narwhal]

I heard it was related to their hardware

The resistors can't handle the voltage spikes

[wicked hound]

Aye, 98% sure I heard it was the VRM controller not regulating transient loads well, which then allows too high transient loads into the card

so then you can get mini fires/popping if you're unlucky

for whatever blows

[static narwhal]

Great... so I already ordered the card. What should I do? Hope for the best?

[wicked hound]

Should be able to cancel/refund, no?

[static narwhal]

Nope can't cancel, got it from the Shuffle promo

[inland hound]

Throttle wattage? Resell? Idk

[static narwhal]

I might be forced to resell or throttle it, or RMA if it dies

[wicked hound]

Could see if EVGA allows refund, otherwise throttle wattage or rellsell

reddit hardwareswap, eBay, OfferUp, etc

[static narwhal]

I wonder if someone would be willing to trade 3090's for it 🤔

[weak pasture]

A handful of 3070 and 3080 on Newegg

[static narwhal]

I'm legitimately worried about this card now, I threw down a lot for it. EVGA don't fail me now

[wicked hound]

lot of people still seem not to know/take it seriously, so it seems so. Few I've seen on HWS sold/traded well from what I could tell

3090 still has some decent stock issues

so people will take what they can get

[static narwhal]

Maybe someone will be willing to trade for a PNY or a TUF then. I wanted to purchase it from NE for the RMA/Return policy vs going through a reseller for this reason lol

[wicked hound]

TUF be a great cheap card. Tho after tarrifs and stuff now idk how well it stacks against others

[round crown]

pny isnt that great

[wicked hound]

pny is meh

not great nor bad afaik

[static narwhal]

better than evga by the sounds of it 😂

[inland hound]

Been a lot of 3080s from PNY today

[static narwhal]

And 3090's. I grabbed a PNY 3090 for my housemate today

looks like I played myself though

[inland hound]

https://tenor.com/view/idiot-congratulations-you-played-your-self-gif-10536951

[round crown]

evga is usually good

[static narwhal]

usually, but not for the 3090 lol

[inland hound]

TFW you just ate the entire bag of Doritos

[thorn kestrel]

any 3060's?

[wicked hound]

I do like that pny didnt make a custom PCB for no reason. So it's reference with same quality as most of the meh custom PCB ones. So dont need to try hard if you ever think about liquid cooling

also means that failure rate should be very low from PCB issues, because reference PCB is def built to last

[inland hound]

PNY is so generic that they are good

[static narwhal]

EVGA gonna do me dirty 😭

[wicked hound]

I really, really dislike that this gen we had so many custom PCBs for no reason

[static narwhal]

I think they were trying to find new ways to up their AIB MSRPs

[wicked hound]

most custom PCBs (esp on the cheap side) were same quality and maybe worse then reference

ruined custom cooling support

[inland hound]

Hopefully Hopper/Lovelace is better

[thorn kestrel]

Is there a graphics around $380 or lower that is good rn?

[inland hound]

Define good

3060 non-Ti promises to be around $300-350, supposed to be about as good as a 2080 AFAIK. Hasn’t released yet tho.

[thorn kestrel]

I guess strong for its price? Im just trying to replace my Gtx 460.

[static narwhal]

lol yeah but when it comes out will you actually be able to find it at that price?

[wicked hound]

FE3060Ti

is $400

[static narwhal]

also nvidia said no 3060 FE's for now

[thorn kestrel]

When was the last time the 3060ti FE was in stock?

[static narwhal]

but "msrp under 350" 🙄

[inland hound]

More often than any other card actually

[static narwhal]

Best Buy last week

And they had quite a few from what I understand

[thorn kestrel]

Didnt they have a schedule when it would drop?

[wicked hound]

FE is really nice, because it's the only card staying MSRP after tarrifs now for US

only card keeping proper control

[inland hound]

Good card too

Midrange-ish

[thorn kestrel]

Yea I really want it

[inland hound]

I plan on getting 3080 FE if I can find it at MSRP

Been checking Snail Monitor every other minute

[wicked hound]

probs may see other companies lower their tarrif prices if FE stays

[inland hound]

Plus Biden is removing those nasty tariffs soon as well iirc

[static narwhal]

I wish I could've found a 3090 FE, but they're only on BB and MicroCenter I think

for msrp anyway

I get the feeling they won't lower the price to consumers even after the tariifs because they can still sell them at that level

[inland hound]

3090, the BFGPU

[static narwhal]

Legit sweating this evga card now 😭

I think it'll come in Monday

I was super excited to win the shuffle because I've been eyeing a card for at least a month now, but they kept selling out. Really wanted a TUF, but couldn't get it in time

[inland hound]

Asus is hit or miss with their graphics cards

[static narwhal]

Come to find out NewEgg put the most faulty card on shuffle lol

[inland hound]

theofans.net

Or was it .com?

[wicked hound]

is he really? (side note: let us keep this talk small cuz politics)

[inland hound]

I know

I believe so

From what I heard

[wicked hound]

heck, scary tech times are going to end soon

[static narwhal]

I would think they'd scale back because that was more of a move from the previous administration, but I'm pretty sure they're more concerned with stim checks and getting over the pandemic first

I didn't want to wait until May for the gpu stocks to stabilize as AMD and Nvidia claim they would

[inland hound]

Remember, keep politics talk to a minimum

[wicked hound]

Any of their non-budget cards seem good usually. Sometimes they're terrible (5700XT strix or whatever it was), tho on average quite good. What they really lack is customer support. You'll most likely have to goto Asus, then goto Gamers Nexus for getting proper support after Asus tries to trash you

by the by, GN really helps for unfair customer support

[static narwhal]

Trying to discuss it in terms of a priority for when they might reduce tariffs, but overall gpu buyers are up against the scalper/supply wall as it is

Hmmm I guess that's a plus for evga then

they seem pretty responsive to creating RMA tickets at least

just have to get a hold of them over the phone

but that failure rate has me spooked haha

[wicked hound]

evga seems to on average have very respectable RMA

[inland hound]

Valve’s RMA is amazing

[static narwhal]

Can valve start selling 3090's? 😂

[inland hound]

[wicked hound]

3090 in their Index2, dont need a PC anymore

[slim terrace]

does anyone know how to set up rtx30 series stocks notifications in a discord server

[static narwhal]

Anyone know what PNY's rma service is like?

literally asking for my friend in this case I guess

I also hear that the VRAM on the 3090's/3080's get pretty hot under load too

[wicked hound]

idk, only had one PNY card from a prebuilt. So RMA service was on the prebuilt

3090 has hot mem on back if stressed (like mining or smth). Want some case airflow, and if not then fan on/near back of card

should stay within acceptable temps tho

[static narwhal]

Hopefully my 140mm pmw fan will help

I don't plan to mine with it anyway lol, but it would be a good way to make back the money I spent on it haha

And heat my room in the winter?

[inland hound]

Kek

[wicked hound]

It'd be a meh spaceheater

buit i guess

[static narwhal]

I mean I heard "acceptable temps" were 110C the the memory though before it starts to throttle the card

[inland hound]

Just passively cool it, that’ll make it a much better space heater

[wicked hound]

I believe I heard of 105c on back for mining, dont remember which model tho (other then 3090)

[gusty hare]

3080 in stock now

[wicked hound]

95c is spec, should handle 105c fine

[inland hound]

Gigabyte and MSI, I know

Well

They were a few minutes ago

Not much anymore

[gusty hare]

msi being so bad

1100 ??????

man

so dum

[static narwhal]

I'm hoping that since I'm not using the card for crazy clocks especially at low watt tasks that the card I got will hold up. I guess I'll let you guys know if the card dies after I set it up

yeezus 1100 for the 3080?

man what're they gonna do about the ti when it comes out? or did they quit that to keep selling 3090's forever now?

[gusty hare]

who get 3080 ?

[inland hound]

eBay hasn’t given me my money yet

So not me

[static narwhal]

I got 2 3090's within 2 days so now I'm 4K in the hole 😎

[inland hound]

Gib me one

[static narwhal]

"I'm never going to financially recover from this"

[inland hound]

Also you only get like 10% better performance in 4K from a 3080 to a 3090, and almost no performance gain with 2 of them in the few games that support SLI

[static narwhal]

One of them isn't for me though lol

bought it for my housemate

[inland hound]

Good

[static narwhal]

the PNY is for him, the EVGA is for me, but I guess I'll be taking the lemon 😂 😭

[wicked hound]

3080/3090 is heavily power limited. Basically need liquid cooling and PL removed to see any nice gains

[static narwhal]

I'm in it for the vram, it was the cheapest thing on the market with 24gb for the moment

that's why I really wanted an FE, but they're so hard to get, I didn't want to pay scalper's price for one, and trying to RMA a resold FE sounds like a pain

[inland hound]

Newegg combos

[tight crag]

What time eastern can I join the Newegg raffle?

[inland hound]

Usually around 12:00 I think

Midday

High noon

[tight crag]

And what time does the raffle begin?

[inland hound]

Good question

[carmine dune]

Babe it's time to pointlessly reload Newegg gpu pages again

[wicked hound]

fun fact, you can put stuff into wishlists and if any one of the items come into stock you can press the now no longer disabled "Add all to cart" button in the wishlist page and it'll add all in stock items to the cart

[carmine dune]

Hol up

[inland hound]

Pogging hard rn

[wicked hound]

still need 100000 refreshes, but much easier to look at when something is in stock

[inland hound]

Or just go to snail monitor

[carmine dune]

Snail monitor has been too slow for me in the past

[inland hound]

Really?

[carmine dune]

Ye

[inland hound]

Interesting

Never for me

[wicked hound]

snail monitor being a snail

sad

[carmine dune]

3070s and 3090s seem to be fine but every time I see a 3080 it's oos

[inland hound]

3080 is way too popular

That’s why

[carmine dune]

Ah yes

[inland hound]

Fun

[carmine dune]

Now to set up an autoclicker lol

[inland hound]

Opautoclicker is a good one

[carmine dune]

pyautogui is my go-to

[wicked hound]

just be careful you dont get like 3+ things at once
-probs get canceled by bot protection
-if not, wallet disappears

[carmine dune]

wallet?

[wicked hound]

your wallet

[inland hound]

Wallet starts crying

[carmine dune]

Oh duh lol

Jokes on you I don't have that much money in my checking account

Also jokes on me there's not gonna be multiple 3080s in stock ever

[inland hound]

Kek

[carmine dune]

Yeah lol you mentioned wallet and I thought you were talking about some special newegg thing I hadn't heard of yet 😆

[wicked hound]

well, it turns into NEs special thing until it turns into AIBs special wallet

[hollow dawn]

I just traded my Radeon 570 8gb Armor for a msi 1060 3gb Phoenix and a radeon 580 4gb brand new

[meager shoal]

New pfp kinda scary Lmao

[carmine dune]

I recently discovered the potential this pfp has

I've got like 20 more variants

@meager shoal

[upper sinew]

i heard about bestbuys restocks on tuesdays, can anyone here confirm?

[hollow dawn]

Idk

[tender mulch]

not anymore, they broke that trend

[carmine dune]

They restock whenever the hell they feel like it lol

[green harness]

They have restocked on Tuesdays more than other days, but they have also restocked on other days

[hollow dawn]

But it feel like the haven’t

[green harness]

Their last restock was last Friday

[meager shoal]

Oh god

[meager shoal]

Probably next week

[late dust]

ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 3060 TI DIRECTX 12 what your thoughts

[inland hound]

It’s kinda eh

[late dust]

8gb

[inland hound]

You can get better 3060Tis

[late dust]

what should i be looking for

in the 3060

ti

[inland hound]

I mean, all of them are basically the same, except for the company making them

[green harness]

Personally, I don't see the point in an expensive 3060Ti. Better to try to get a cheaper one imo, as the cost of a more expensive 3060Ti quickly bumps into 3070 territory

The ROG Strix is one of the more expensive 3060Tis if I'm not mistaken, so if possible just get a cheaper one imo

[inland hound]

3060Ti is best price to performance right now, but lower priced cards have a worse PCB, cooler, etc

[late dust]

looking to water block it

[inland hound]

Get FE then

[green harness]

Why?

[late dust]

new build is water looped

[inland hound]

Or PNY if it’s cheaper

But I doubt it will be

[tender mulch]

NOt sure there's a block for PNY yet is there?

[inland hound]

PNY uses reference PCB

Doesn’t matter

AFAIK

[late dust]

what about the Aourus 3060ti master

card

about the same price

[inland hound]

That’s one with a waterblock, right?

[tender mulch]

FE aren't reference PCB though lol

[late dust]

no water block out yet

[tender mulch]

It's weird

[inland hound]

Wait what

[tender mulch]

mmhmmmm

[inland hound]

That’s dumb

[tender mulch]

it is

[inland hound]

This is the best and worse generation tbh

[tender mulch]

They're shorter

[inland hound]

I can’t wait for Hopper tbh

Or Lovelace

[tender mulch]

FE

[inland hound]

What does PNY look like?

[tender mulch]

Longer

Palit, PNY and Gainward are the only reference board users

[green harness]

Why would you watercool a 3060Ti though? It's better to just get a better GPU for the money

[tender mulch]

Because you can or want to

[inland hound]

I don’t even know who sells Palit and Gainward

[green harness]

I mean I guess. Doesn't seem worth it to me though

[late dust]

want to is all

[tender mulch]

Why do you drive the car you drive? Wouldn't it better to get a more expensive high end one?

Same question

[green harness]

I drive the car I drive cause I've had it for 8 years and it's still running. Does everything I need and is cheaper than a new one

[tender mulch]

Yup, it works for you

Watercooling works for them

Here we go

Reference PCB

[green harness]

It's not though. It does seem like smiley and I have very different perspectives though.

[tender mulch]

Indeed

It IS the same question

I just substituted car for GPU

[inland hound]

That’s a lot longer

[wary anvil]

Nothing wrong with watercooling a 3060

[tender mulch]

It is longer

[wary anvil]

Especially since a well cooled 3060ti could probably match a 3070 performance wise

[tender mulch]

The point I was trying to make is that it's subjective

[wicked hound]

@tender mulch I think you need to change the question just a bit, as the bigger question is getting more for the money. Just buying some super expensive super car vs standard street car is a bit different

[tender mulch]

Just like your choice in cars, houses and anything else

[late dust]

Truly just want to build a water loop system and as to the water blocked gpu it cost less to buy a 3060

[tender mulch]

The base question was why water cool it

[late dust]

then water block it

[wary anvil]

Also it seems to be easier to find waterblock cards recently

[tender mulch]

Yeah, they pretty much all have one available now

[wary anvil]

The ekwb seems to be one of the cards I see available most option

[green harness]

My question really is "Why watercool a lower tier part when you can get more for your money spending the watercooling money on a higher tier part". That's different than the car question. More power to em though, people can prioritize whatever they want in their builds

[wary anvil]

Especially since a well cooled 3060ti could probably match a 3070 performance wise

[tender mulch]

Fine, bad question. It's still subjective though

Don't have to understand why if it's what they want to do

[inland hound]

Anyways, I believe waterblocks are mostly made for Reference PCBs, no? You are going to want to get a card using a reference PCB to put a waterblock on it.

[wicked hound]

only if you have a modified vBIOS and a hardware BIOS flasher

[green harness]

That's fair, as long as they know what they're doing

[tender mulch]

They have a full custom loop already

[wary anvil]

ekwb has a modified bios, right?

[wicked hound]

no where near modified enough for a high enough PL I'd suspect

Im talking about making your own "XOC" vBIOS

very high PL

[wary anvil]

This true

[wicked hound]

not a slightly higher PL

[inland hound]

The techies are talking

[wary anvil]

I'd really love to see how much power you could dump into a full custom loop 3060ti

[wicked hound]

would also most likely need a dual vBIOS card unless you either have a real nice BIOS flasher or solder on a new BIOS chiplet

[wary anvil]

Yee

[wicked hound]

seen a case of 3080 or 3090 have issues with BIOS flashers. Flasher will power other components on the board causing power issues. So you need to isolate the BIOS chip, can be done with either a switch to second vBIOS or desolder

[wary anvil]

Desoldering sucks

Just melt the chip off and solder on a new one 🤣

[wicked hound]

ye, but then it's long shipping times to wait for a new one sadly

[wary anvil]

That's why you buy bios chips in bulk

[wicked hound]

fair

[wary anvil]

Or just buy the GPUs in bulk. More time efficient that way

[inland hound]

Less money efficient

[wicked hound]

Probably just buy dead cards

[dark hazel]

What is a 3060 ti prayer?

[wicked hound]

A prayer that the 3060Ti will accept your soul and proposal of marriage. Allows you to marry your 3060Ti and game on it forever.

For real, idk

[carmine dune]

Just got off dinner. Looks like I didn't miss anything exciting?

[inland hound]

Correct

[late dust]

anybody know a preorder site

the britishminer thing is a joke

[inland hound]

For what

A graphics card?

Cause they are all sold out, unless you want to be on half a year’s backorder from eVGA

[late dust]

the auto order thing beats me everytime in ordering

this sucks

[sweet sedge]

Who wants to smash my 780 ti when I eventually get a 6800xt?

Could be some useful parts 😮

[inland hound]

Just out of curiosity

Why 6800xt and not 3080

@sweet sedge

[sweet sedge]

nvidia sucks

and amd can have my children

with their vr driver bugs and all

[opal pollen]

yo, question

i have a 1070 and a 9700k, should i render my stream from the gpu or cpu?

[sweet sedge]

CPU

[opal pollen]

what usage level and bitrate should I set?

[upper sinew]

im tryn buy a used 2070 as a placeholder on offerup for cheap, seller listed 2070 but i only see one PCIE power plug when im assuming 2070's usually have two

is there any 2070 models with one PCIE power port?

[silent yoke]

I believe my EVGA 2070 Black non-super only has one PCIE power port

Actually, I know it does - I transplanted it when I got my 6900 XT

[static narwhal]

I didn't think about this until now but... why did EVGA decide to go with 3 pcie 8-pins vs the 2 that most of the other 3090 cards are using when they're shorting out their cards on voltage spikes? 🤔

[upper sinew]

and can anyone help me get a model? it has the heat sink slightly extend past the PCB and backplate

the image is crusty and at a bad angle so i cant see much else

and theres no RGB on it from waht i can tell

[whole robin]

has anyone from here ordered from BLT?

[late dust]

nope

[lone pond]

Any GPU's; that can run 1440p that actually exist for reasonable price on the market right now?

2060s are dead.

Turing is out of stock or overpriced.

Ampere is unachieveable

and Pascal is as well.

My friend is currently needing a 2060 for his customer.

[gritty notch]

gpu

[lusty dome]

Whats better a 1650 oc or a 1050 ti?

[dawn plover]

a normal 1650 beats the 1050ti

[gritty notch]

1650

[lusty dome]

Ina off myself brb

[gritty notch]

lol what

[frozen seal]

Wot

[lusty dome]

I order a 1650 but they sent a 1050 ti

[dawn plover]

where'd you order it from

[lusty dome]

Got it off Amazon. Last option

[dawn plover]

contact the seller

[frozen seal]

Do you have the link to the posting?

[lusty dome]

I can get one

An already emailed them about it

[dawn plover]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202077800

you can use that

[lone pond]

@sweet sedge I’ll smash your old gpu for free 🤯

[zenith lagoon]

@tender mulch U here?

[inland hound]

depends on the specifics of the workload

AMD is generally better at lower resolutions

1440p vs 2160p for example.

[lone pond]

Does someone know where to order a Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 to Germany?

[zenith lagoon]

@royal copper

I installed Realtek drivers update and then there was no sound lol

I had to roll back

Is it because I didn't restart my machine?

After the driver update

[lone pond]

maybe

[royal copper]

it’s possible, some driver updates require restart

[void mountain]

I need a good MSI Radeon GPU

but

not too expensive

needs to be compatible with MPG Z390

Intel iCore i5 9600k

[dawn plover]

why are you being exclusive to radeon, and msi?

and how good is "good" for you

[green harness]

People will probably need a budget to make a recommendation

[hasty stag]

If anyone is interested at all, Best Buy currently has the MSI - GAMING X NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - Black/Gray and the MSI - GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card available on their website

[dawn plover]

for how much?

[hasty stag]

At least in the Bay Area they have it available.

[naive girder]

how much

[dawn plover]

gaming, im in sj

[hasty stag]

$339.99 for the SUPER and $389.99 for the Ti

[naive girder]

jesus

[dawn plover]

nvm smh

[hasty stag]

yeah, that's why I said if anyone is interested

Central Computers has tons of GPUs, if you're willing to spend the extra $ for it

[dawn plover]

yeah i jus heard of those dudes

they've got a store in santa clara which is neat and local

[hasty stag]

Yeah, they have 5 locations in the Bay, I've been to 4 of 5...I prefer the San Mateo and Santa Clara stores...Newark, definitely not, and SF - thumbs down as well. Lol

Sunnyvale has tons in stock right now though

[dawn plover]

sheesh

[hasty stag]

@dawn plover what card are you looking to get?

[dawn plover]

3060ti

i don't need anything above that lmao

[hasty stag]

Yeah, the last time I saw (2 weeks ago) they were selling it for about $100 more, but I mean, you'd be able to get it.

[dawn plover]

dang

smh

[naive girder]

why msi and radeon

[inland hound]

branding probably

cant even remember if MSI makes Radeon GPUs

[naive girder]

thats dumb

[static rock]

they make both, says on pins

*both nvidia and amd

[inland hound]

huh

cool

havent seen an MSI Radeon GPU tho

[static rock]

now you have

[naive girder]

the pin is wrong

there are gigabyte nvidia cards

[inland hound]

oh yeah

the mech GPUs

forgot about those

[inland hound]

its just blank

no Y or N

[naive girder]

?

[inland hound]

on the pin

for gigabyte's Nvidia cards

@torpid garden

pin's graph is slightly broken

[torpid garden]

What

Oh

I mean, does it matter? As long as the warranty info is correct? Regardless, find me a correct version, post it and I'll pin your post

[naive girder]

no

its the manufacturer

gigabyte makes nvidia cards

[lone pond]

does someone know when the Nvidia RTX 30 series will restock?

[queen belfry]

ups lost my titan card

[quartz pewter]

@queen belfry 😭

[solid bluff]

maybe next year

[quartz pewter]

stock rn is horrible

[solid bluff]

yeah

tell me about it

[upbeat herald]

I have been trying to get one since the beginning of december

built my wife a new rig, but her old 1070 is sitting in it like a dinosaur cause we just cant get new cards

been on the EVGA website waiting list for a month, nothing, newegg gives their restock alerts on twitter, buit you have to be lightning fast @lone pond

[solid bluff]

i've been trying since september lmao

[upbeat herald]

I am really hoping EVGA pulls through, the only ones actually doing an ordered list for notification where it is an actual line and not just black friday click fast madness when they get stock, but I am going to have to pay canada import fees on it

[solid bluff]

yeah, i have evga too but still no luck

[upbeat herald]

I am also awaiting the 6700 radeon announcement, cause I would grab one of those for myself (linux)... but I know that will be madness the day they are released as well

[solid bluff]

yeah

[upbeat herald]

actually ended up getting a 3800X cause it was black friday marked down like crazy and cheaper than the 5600 we were planning on getting... but no video card to go with it 😦

[solid bluff]

there isn't going to be stock for awhile

[upbeat herald]

I blame apple, taking up all the TMSC process time for their stupid mac M1s

[solid bluff]

they are saying around august

yeah

[wicked pasture]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HR9D2JS/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A2KN9K54F1HXTQ&psc=1

which 30 series card?

[upbeat herald]

3070

[wicked pasture]

lmao the cheapest one is 1k

[dawn plover]

what frames you looking to achieve

and at what res

[wicked pasture]

no they r talking about the 30 series graphics cards being out of stock so im sending em it

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KWLMZV4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3B3F4FMZJCG03&psc=1

[dawn plover]

that's overpriced

[wicked pasture]

yea

[upbeat herald]

yeah, I am not paying 1000 us for it

lol

scalper prices

[wicked pasture]

amazon is a terrible place for graphics cards tbh

they sell gtx 1650s for 400 dollars

its worth like 200$

[dawn plover]

well that's recent

[upbeat herald]

unfortunately in Canada, it is really Newegg, or canadacomputers or a few other smaller stores that havent even gotten stock

[dawn plover]

it used to not be like that

[upbeat herald]

bestbuy is the exclusive founders edition seller, and have gotten 0 nation wide

[dawn plover]

they had stock like a week ago iirc

lots of ppl got sum

[upbeat herald]

bestbuy canada?

still just says coming soon on their site

[dawn plover]

nah, in the us

[wicked pasture]

lmao I just realized this is the newegg discord I shouldnt be sending amazon links

[upbeat herald]

yeah, unfortunately different supply chain

and we don't have tarrifs so it should be easier to get them here

[wicked pasture]

if ur waiting for like a few more months just get a 20 series graphics card

or r u getting a 3070 cuz of price?

[dawn plover]

dw we sometimes make fun of newegg in this discord

[upbeat herald]

I have a 1070, the 20 series isn't a meaningful upgrade

[wicked pasture]

yea true

[wicked pasture]

lol

lmao I've been waiting months for a GTX 1650 low profile to come in stock

cuz its the best graphics card my trash psu can handle

[upbeat herald]

it would be funny if it wasnt so sad

[wicked pasture]

yea

[inland hound]

Ok so I sold my 5700xt, did a DDU before doing so (as one does), put in my 1660 super, but I am not getting any video output into my monitor

All the boot lights were fine

I tried other monitors and cables

I’m not plugged in to onboard graphics

Etc etc

What happened?

Alright I’m getting no answer so @cerulean rover or @tender mulch or something

Hopefully one of you are online

Sorry for the ping

@royal copper?

Damn no one is answering

@mighty island ??

All the RGB is working

All the fans are spinning

[tender mulch]

Reset cmos

[inland hound]

Ok

I swear to god if this works

[upbeat herald]

reset CMOS always works man

[tender mulch]

Not always but sometimes

[upbeat herald]

also some cards will default output to hdmi and display port wont pick up right away, I have seen that before

[inland hound]

Got a boot light, still no dice

[upbeat herald]

after CMS clear? you try plugging to HDMI?

[inland hound]

Yes

I tried

I tried 2 other monitors and 2 other cables

Plugged into DP right now

[lone pond]

does gpu fans spinning?

[inland hound]

Yep

All fans spin as normal

This card was just working in another pc

[lone pond]

ok plug to motherboard video out to see

[inland hound]

That won’t do anything

3800x

No iGPU

[lone pond]

oh no integrated graphics rip

its probably bios but 🤔

do you have any another card to reach to bios ? 🤔

[inland hound]

No

Sold my 5700xt

Only other GPU I have is a 4700u soldered to an HP Laptop, a 10300H that doesn’t work with my socket, and a 1650Ti that I can’t tear out of the laptop with the 10300H

[lone pond]

Lol

[inland hound]

On jah tho I have no idea what’s wrong

[lone pond]

it's probably couse bois 🤔

[inland hound]

What do you want me to do?

Already did CMOS reset

[lone pond]

find another card 😂

[inland hound]

That’s gonna be a nope from me dawg

[lone pond]

or cpu with igpu 🤔

[inland hound]

Every 3080 within a 10,000 mile radius is gone

Nonexistent

[lone pond]

I didn't mean 3080 lol just any card xd

[inland hound]

If a 1660 super isn’t working why would any other card work?

[lone pond]

what's ur mobo btw

also did you tried to pull out gpu and plug again?

or plug to another slot ? if your mobo have several slots

[inland hound]

TUF X570-PLUS

I reseated it multiple times

Haven’t tried the 8x slot

Worth a shot I guess

Nah Nevermind

I’ll abandon it for now

Just gonna get a 3080

Should be heading to bed at this point anyways

[lone pond]

get good rest 😇

[static narwhal]

Sold my kidney for a 3090 because that's all I could find through the shuffle 🤡

[placid shuttle]

Anyone know how much a KFA2 1080 is worth?

[gritty notch]

whatever u can sucker an idiot into paying for it

[placid shuttle]

Wait is it that bad?

[gritty notch]

sell high buy low lol

[placid shuttle]

There's a guy selling a build with:
I5 4690k
KFA2 1080 EX OC
24GB corsair vengeance ddr3 1600MHz
Gigabyte Z97X

For $400

[gritty notch]

i thought u were asking for price check to sell it

[placid shuttle]

Nah lol

[gritty notch]

my kid just sold her 5700xt for $700

selling market nutty rn

[placid shuttle]

Damn

I'm tempted to buy the pc and just sell the parts

But my current pc is a 750 ti and amd fx4350 7 years old

[gritty notch]

buy it

[placid shuttle]

OK lol

Wonder what I can sell mine for

[hidden carbon]

List it as a "fortnite gaming PC" and as long as it performs better than an XBOX One it'll sell in no time for maybe $200 atleatse

[placid shuttle]

Deadass it is stronger than my xbox one s but its so much louder

[karmic crag]

you raised her well

[hidden carbon]

i mean ur selling to eight year olds

what does it matter

lol

[coarse spindle]

The amount of younglings i have scamed

[waxen orbit]

harsh

[coarse spindle]

“ this 460 will play fortnight, sure”

[waxen orbit]

what else would i expect from an r9 fury owner tho

[coarse spindle]

Basically if it CAN play fort ots worth 200$ more

And i got the fury bc it is a great used deal RN

[waxen orbit]

fury is pretty cringe

[coarse spindle]

Underrated performance

[waxen orbit]

lol

[placid shuttle]

My pc used to run csgo at 300 fps

Do I download fortnite just to benchmark?

[waxen orbit]

i have a image of windows with fortnite and minecraft installed

usefull for benches

[coarse spindle]

I should really do that

I just use furry mark and CPU burner with userbench

And assume performance

[waxen orbit]

disgusting

[coarse spindle]

Thanks

[waxen orbit]

@flat nymph hi

[hidden carbon]

so thats why 3070s are always in stock but 3080s aren't

[lone pond]

No

Its because its GDDR6x

[hidden carbon]

isnt it GDDR6 the one thats out no 6x?

[lone pond]

?????

[lone pond]

need good server and gaming GPU

under 700 usd

[tender mulch]

3080/3090 are 6x

[lone pond]

only AMD

[hidden carbon]

there were vids b4 the l;aunch of the 3070 saying it wouldnt be in stock just like the 3080 because there was a masssive GDDR6 shortage

NOT 6x

other way around

many theories why there are no 3080s

[tender mulch]

The GPU shortage has nothing to do with VRAM shortage

It's purely demand

[hidden carbon]

one is that the chips are binning so well that they all go into 3090s

[hidden carbon]

theres that

too

[tender mulch]

@lone pond that would be a nay

No advertising other servers here

[lone pond]

ok

[tender mulch]

Sorry

[tight delta]

Does anyone know the time and days that fill the stock of gpus? and if they know how much is the additional tax? if you help me I will be aggressive

[meager shoal]

It’s different

[tender mulch]

Not anymore. Best Buy changed stock day so

It's all in the air now

[meager shoal]

^^

[tender mulch]

Have to wait until BB drops again to see the new schedule

[meager shoal]

Has BB restocked any other day then Tuesday or Friday?

[tender mulch]

[opal trellis]

Is there a way for me to operate a egpu without thunderbolt? Like any methods with usb-a connections?

[steep wind]

Nope.

It's Thunderbolt 3 only right now.

USB 4.0 will eventually overtake TB3, but it's all USB-C

[opal trellis]

Aw man

[flat nymph]

G6X is currently actually taking up several lithos at Micron

Sooo

G6X is if anything not the bottleneck in this

The chips are

Samsung currently has 3 machines from ASML being used on developing 8LPP

They recently bought 4 machines, 2 of which are likely for 8LPP

[cold parrot]

its normal for my gpu fans not to turn on untill i get a game going right?

[flat nymph]

Mind you these machines typically take a month or so to assemble

Each of Samsung’s machines do 280 or so wafers per hour

From which there are about 35 good GA102 dies

So about 30000 GPUs an hour
Running 16 hours a day

Assuming they all made 3080s and 3090s

(Which they obviously don’t)

[dawn plover]

some gpu's have a zero rpm mode, which is, when the gpu isn't loading up too much or isn't heating up too much, the fans won't spin

your gpu might have that feature

[cold parrot]

ah ok

after they boot up tho they stay booted up

so wait a year or 2?

the 3080 is awesome for mining. I reworked my entire mining operation with them

[icy cove]

is gigabyte good

[jagged sequoia]

usually pretty good

I think?

[meager shoal]

I think there pretty good except there PSUS

[coarse spindle]

I liked their psus until the error

Doesn’t gamers nexus use a aorus PSU?

I'll buy a tuf 3080 sometime in 2022

maybe

[willow inlet]

any ideas when the next founders edition or zen 3 restock is?

[robust pond]

Hi

Where would the pci power go on a 570x asus tuf mobo

[fossil talon]

FE no idea, Zen 3 there's definitely a restock soon. AMD definitely has been storing some (found out during my RMA)

[robust pond]

I legit cant find

Where I plug on my pcie

Cable

[fossil talon]

? PCIe goes into PSU and secondary connector goes into mobo

Like are you connected an external device or something

[robust pond]

Ye

In a pcie

[tender mulch]

PCI-E power?

That goes to GPU

[robust pond]

No port

[fossil talon]

Oh don't worry, that runs off the PCIe slot power

[tender mulch]

Then don't use

[robust pond]

Where do I plug in my cable then

I'm waiting for 3080 to be in stock

[fossil talon]

There is no cable needed as it is powered by the PCIe slot

[robust pond]

Oh how do I power it

The pcie slot

Or is bh it the mobo power

[fossil talon]

You don't need extra cables, runs off mobo via that slot

[robust pond]

So I can just unconnected my cables u till me get a 3080

[tender mulch]

Yes

[fossil talon]

^

[tender mulch]

As long as 8 pin CPU power plugged in

cuz you said X570

i need a aib card that is good for gaming the best one

[static narwhal]

Evga 3090 Kingpin, gl finding one, but I hear it's one of the highest clocked 3090's out there

[rare hull]

Rtx 3070 alternative

[green harness]

RTX 3060Ti, RTX 2080 super (depending on price), RX 6800 reference model (if you are ok w/o some nvidia features)

[rancid oyster]

is it a aib

[placid shuttle]

Alternative for 2060 / 1080?

[green harness]

The Kingpin 3090 is an aib card, it's made by evga. You can only buy it through the queue at evga and need to be an elite member to get into the queue. There's a chance someone would try to scalp it, but that's just a bad buy and unlikely given the small number of cards. (it's really unlikely you'd be getting that card anytime soon, and it carries a massive price tag)

[rancid oyster]

do an aib i should get

you know

[green harness]

You haven't really said what you want the gpu for (1080p gaming? 1440p gaming? 4K gaming? 60hz ok? 140+hz?) or your budget. So it's really hard to make a recommendation.

[tender mulch]

EVGA

Best AIB IMO, best service, best warranty

[green harness]

Yeah, EVGA cards are generally good and in the USA they seem to have the best customer service.

[tender mulch]

Overclock, add a waterblock, they don't care

Warranty still valid

[green harness]

Gigabyte and Asus cards seem good this generation as well

[tender mulch]

Asus TUF 3070 best overclocker this time around. Beat EVGA by 1% lol

[placid shuttle]

Are the titan gpus still good?

[coarse spindle]

Well

Not really

I wish they were, but prices are insane and they are beaten out with cheaper things for gameing

Unless you count the 3090 as a titan, no not really unless you find a once in a lifetime deal

[placid shuttle]

Thought so gpu benchmark says 1080 better but like they were hyped so big when they came out

Only asked cos there was a build near me with one

[neon fulcrum]

there's more than one "titan" gpu

[placid shuttle]

I'm aware I meant the titan series in general

[tender mulch]

not so good for gaming

[spare relic]

1650 Super is better than an old titan or whatever it was

Time dethrones kings

[brisk flame]

GTX titan 6gb

[tender mulch]

So power hungry though

[jagged sequoia]

titan rtx just 'cause it's shiny

[grave burrow]

I'm new to computers is the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 4 GB OC Video Card better than the NVIDIA GTX 1060

[spare relic]

A little

Depends on what you want out of the card

If you must have more memory, the 1060 with 6GB is the one to go with

For frame buffer (video editing or summin:) )

Which is a factor in games too, but at 1080p 4GB is enough

Otherwise the 1650S is a bit better

[grave burrow]

Ok thanks im building a pc for the oculus rift and i was trying to find somethin witha little more power so i can play games at higher settings and what not

[quick moon]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mDsk68 with a 2060/2070 or even maybe a 3060/3070 would this be a good setup?

[grave burrow]

Im no genius but yeah that looks great but you should go to build chat and ask them because this chat is for graphic cards

[quick moon]

Oh my bad

[grave burrow]

Your good

[static rock]

case is bad, the m.2 there is sata

I wouldn't get a b450 right now

[gloomy sandal]

I have a NVDIA GeForce GTX 1660, should i upgrade and if so what to?

[dawn plover]

what does the rest of your system look like?

[gloomy sandal]

Intel Core i5 9400F with 8 gb of ram

[dawn plover]

you're fine where you're at

[gloomy sandal]

ok

when should i upgrade

[lone pond]

1660 still good

You aint going to be able to upgrade for a while.

If prices keep going up

[jagged sequoia]

you should upgrade when your system can't play the games you want to play

[dusk oasis]

@gloomy sandal you should add 8gb of ram

[gloomy sandal]

I was planing that

should i send the brand i have and the one im getting?

[dawn plover]

sure

[spare relic]

Should get the exact same stick

[dawn plover]

you don't have to

[spare relic]

Same stick or a whole new kit

[dawn plover]

no you don't need the same exact stick

you can mix and match with the same form factor, other things such as voltage?, speeds and timings, will be set to default by the mobo

[spare relic]

My brother's Phenom II X4 955 system has 4x2GB sticks, two corsair two kingston

1600

Overheats like nothing you've seen but still works

(Overheating not related to ram)

Xd

He kept it sealed in a desk cabinet because the fans are loud

120w cpu with a tiny old amd heatsink and you know where this is going

My brother's special with computers lmfao

[stone wraith]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w3RPcT

Good build?

Dont recommend me better parts. I just wanna know if the build is good

[spare relic]

So if it's bad, you just want it to be bad?

[stone wraith]

Idk

Im not a pro at pc parts

I would like to know if its bad or not

[dawn plover]

it's not worth the price tbh

[stone wraith]

Why not

???

[surreal latch]

Looking to get a better gaming laptop (don't have space for a pc currently) What are some good recs from AMD?

[dawn plover]

well first of all, the ram you chose isn't gonna be running at 3600mhz on a b series chipset with a 10400, second, the motherboard isn't really needed for that chip, the ssd can be switched to a helix-l or mp34 for about the same price, the case fans are molex powered and the metal isn't really the best on it, and finally, you can switch the psu to a phanteks amp if you want that fully modular goodness

[stone wraith]

So the ram wont work then?

I need to get a 3600 mhz ram then?

[dawn plover]

no you're going to be capped at 2666mhz with the b460 chipset

you'll need a z490 chipset to get the full speeds and at that point it's better off getting a 3600+b550

[stone wraith]

Dammit

[tender mulch]

Nope

10400F with 3200 mhz

gets more FPS than 3600

🙂

[stone wraith]

Oooooo

[tender mulch]

and still cheaper

[stone wraith]

@tender mulch thanks for stepping in

I cancelled the order on the 3000 mhz just in time

[tender mulch]

It's weird though

with the 2666

It's behind the 3600

With the 3200 mhz memory, it pulls ahead by a bit

10-15 FPS some games

[dawn plover]

o crap you're right i just compared them

[tender mulch]

Yeah, it's slightly behind synthetic multicore benchmarks but ahead in gaming

[stone wraith]

@tender mulch but can the b460 run well with the 10400f?

[tender mulch]

Need Z490

for 3200 mhz ram

[stone wraith]

Dammit

Already got the b460 at home

[dawn plover]

and for reference, i compared the prices of 10400f + z490m pro4 with the 3600 + b550m pro4

[tender mulch]

A DECENT B550 tho?

Not one of the cheap $80 ones?

Those don't even have debug LED's

[stone wraith]

Ima just stick to my b460

If the motherboard isnt really need for the 10400f then there is nothing i can do about unfortunately

Its already past my return period

About a month ago i asked if this build was good and ppl said yes but had a funny feeling so i asked again

Ima just re order the 3000 mhz

[tame cape]

is the 1660 super a good budget gpu?

[karmic crag]

i'm running a 10400f + b460 + 3000 mhz and it's pretty solid

[karmic crag]

yes

[tame cape]

noice ok

[karmic crag]

good value if you can find it at around/under 250 USD

[tame cape]

noiec ok! im probably gonna have to wait for like 3 months till the prices go down

[stone wraith]

Really? What issues did you experience as of now?

If you even experienced any

[karmic crag]

no issues so far, everything's running quite smoothly

[stone wraith]

Thanks the answer. Lord Dio blesses you wholeheartedly

[red cedar]

do the gpu fans only spin when they have to

[jagged sequoia]

depends on how the fan curve is set, they definitely can be configured that way

[dawn plover]

some gpus also have a zero rpm mode

[upbeat talon]

hey guys, I want to upgrade video editing set up that would be able to handle 4k editing. I have a GTX 1650 rn, should it be the GPU that I should update first?

[coarse spindle]

Depends on what else you have @upbeat talon

But probably the gpu

[upbeat talon]

my bad

I have an i5-9400f, h310m mobo, 16gb ram,

[coarse spindle]

Hmm probably gpu

The rest can hold its own to a point.

Ultimately you would have a r7 5700x and a 3070 with 32gb but you can slowly piece those together.

[upbeat talon]

that makes total sense. thanks!!

[lone pond]

Would anyone be mad if I sold a picture of an FE 3080 to a scalper for $500 if I state (2 times) in the desc. that it's a picture?

lmao

[coarse spindle]

it would be obvious

[lone pond]

oh yeah?

[lone pond]

lol

@coarse spindle did you see my dm?

[rapid moon]

There’s a better chance of getting a 6800xt here then in person https://youtu.be/7WGD1fG3igY

Where can i get a good RTX card for cheap I wanna gift my little brother.

[tender mulch]

Pretty much unpossible now with the tariffs and short supply

[versed pulsar]

when do you think it will level out

[green harness]

Best Buy drop hopefully this week sometime 9am-12 est, nvidia Founder's edition card is your best bet. They're the only cards at msrp

[stone wraith]

They better

I finally got the money unlike last time

[proven flame]

Obviously I want the rtx 3080. however I am willing to wait. Do y'all have any suggestions to get something to start with for now or is it best to wait?

The GPU is all I am missing! the hole build is put together and waiting. I just don;t know how much more I can take.

[jagged sequoia]

if you really really want to just have a gpu for now you can find something used for ~200 usd or less, like an rx 570, gtx 970, 1060, something like that

[random walrus]

Used rx 570 for ~100usd is best bet imo

Also that $100 used market probably won't change much so once you get the 3080 you can probably sell the temporary card for close to what you got it for

[haughty glacier]

lmao the most known pc shop here literally put the 5600 xt on sale

[frosty steeple]

Anyone here?

[haughty glacier]

and the sale discount was like $2 off 🤣 🤣

[swift cliff]

Anybody have a pci 4.0 riser cable to recommend?

or are they all good to go?

[tender mulch]

Mmmm, not all good to go

Cheap ones are still 3.0

Not sure I'd trust any 4.0 cables right now TBH

[swift cliff]

I’ve seen some folks post their builds saying their risers work well, but they fail to mention the one they’re using

so I’m left guessing here

and it seems the 3.0 will bottleneck my 90 strix

[tender mulch]

Nah

Virtually no difference between 3.0 and 4.0 for GPU's yet

[swift cliff]

GN compared gen 3 vs 4 on a 3080 and reports like a 3% uplift

[tender mulch]

That's a 3080 but

hardly anything

Def not 3%

[swift cliff]

I’m actually on that page right now haha

[tender mulch]

LOL

[swift cliff]

I wish they did a 3090 comparison

[tender mulch]

Well, the 3090 isn't a huge leap over the 3080

[swift cliff]

it’s tough to extrapolate

Well I’m running nearly 4k

plus it’s a strix - seems like I might be leaving performance on the table

[tender mulch]

Here you go https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/PCI-Express-4-0-vs-3-0-Video-Card-Performance-1982/#

That's a 3090

[swift cliff]

I just read the article, thank you for showing that

[tender mulch]

Welcome

[swift cliff]

So only for video editing did a noticeable drop occur

[tender mulch]

Pretty much

[swift cliff]

so I guess I can benchmark this thing, and then attach the 3.0 riser and see how it compares

looks promising

[tender mulch]

Could do that yeah

It's not going to be much if anything

I mean, 10 FPS at 350 FPS is almost nothing

within margin of error
