just didn’t want to waste time reconfiguring the setup if it was already reported

yea my screen is maxing out at 240 anyway

with BAR the pcie 3.0-4.0 diff might be little bit bigger on 3090 maybe 3080

Quick question. Doing my first build, and I have everything done, computer runs and everything. I'm currently using on-board graphics, because I have no idea what GPU to get. When it comes to GB, what would be mid-range? Would 6gb be okay, or should I look for a higher one?

Can anyone please help...My son wants to build his own computer and the last part needed is his graphics card. He wanted either the Asus Radeon RX 5600 XT 6 GB TUF Gaming X3 EVO OC Video Card or Nvidia RTX3060. Can anyone suggest an alternative that will work? Budget $500 I have been searching for 2 months and can't find either other than scams on Ebay. He wants to game and stream.

#

Does it run games at mid range graphics?

#

And should the GB of the card be a certain number?

Wow

vocal lynx
#

if u can find a 3070(3060(ti)) go for it otherwise go for the 580

dawn plover
#

tbh a 1650s or above should be good enough

#

how about the 5700? wouldn't it be a little better for performance than the 580

i dont think so

try a 2060 '

HEAT!#5349 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

dawn plover
#

amd has something like that iirc but nvidia's is better, i think it's called nvenc or sum

regal crag
#

You just spoke a foreign language to me....I am a mom...can you explain?

dawn plover
#

it's simple, if you're streaming and gaming at the same time with the same computer, it's worth the money to get a nvidia gpu thanks to nvenc and how it works, radeon doesn't have that kinda sweet stuff but what they do have is just pure gaming perff, at a budget of 500 bucks the best you can get is a 3060ti, which its msrp was 400 bucks but that won't be achieved because of tarrifs

fossil talon
#

Basically, joesr is pointing out that Nvidia is better for streaming

dawn plover
#

call yourself lucky if you find one at msrp

dawn plover
fossil talon
#

Or in more simpler terms, does he want HD, QHD, or 4k gaming^

dawn plover
#

tbh saying 1080p, 1440p, or 4k would've been easier

fossil talon
#

Yep, but some parents understand the premise of HD, QHD from TVs and etc, sometimes its good to mention both definitions

leaden gale
#

Doo yall know when they will be in stock again?

left nymph
regal crag
#

High fps with high resolution.

leaden gale
#

Any graphics cards, like the 3060 ti msi onee or sum like that. Im new to all this and like i need a graphics card

#

It says out of stock for a lot of them

slate creek
#

yeah they’ve been out of stock for a minute 😭

#

i’m just trynna get like a 2070 but they’re gone

dawn plover
#

tbh 1440p 140+ fps is doable at high settings with a 3070, but good luck finding one at 500 bucks, a 3060ti is prob the best bet for your son, it won't get you high fps with balling settings, but it's good nuff for mid/high settings at 1440p and highest settings at 1080p

Amazon posts randomly, but its bot city. Retailers usually post about them and if not, GYX deals posts about them but you have to be quick

$549.99

karmic crag
#

for a 5600xt? absolutely not

regal crag
#

Meaning it is a scam?

karmic crag
#

for $550 you could get an rtx 3070 which is significantly better

fossil talon
#

^

karmic crag
#

and yes, it's highway robbery

#

rtx 3070 is also much more recent iirc

fossil talon
#

@regal crag the current graphics card market is extremely overpriced due to low stock worldwide. Some graphics cards are still sold at MSRP, but many are overpriced according to supply and demand factors. Like what Joesar and Orange juice said, go for a 3060ti or 3070 but at MSRP if you can

karmic crag
#

2080ti will be more expensive and will probably be harder to find

fossil talon
#

^

#

People are reselling the 2080ti way too high

karmic crag
#

the gpu market (used and new) is VERY volatile right now

#

your best bet is to wait for 3070 stock

regal crag
#

I am off Ebay because the bot postings there are horrible and I would prefer new...just hard waiting for the right card.

karmic crag
#

?

#

the better option is to wait for a new gpu

fossil talon
#

If you are close to a Microcenter, try backordering (basically preordering the card when its in stock)

karmic crag
#

didn't even know you could do that

fossil talon
#

^

karmic crag
#

normally i would agree, but the used market is also rough

#

have you been on any second-hand seller in the past 2 months?

regal crag
#

Yes...several...I have looked at as many places as I could find.

karmic crag
#

2070 cards are selling for 600+

karmic crag
dawn plover
#

tbh a 2080ti for 500 bucks isn't so bad

karmic crag
#

fair

fossil talon
#

K you're probably lucky, markets near me are absolutely outrageous where 2080tis go for the same price as 3080s

dawn plover
#

500-600 bucks isn't too bad either

regal crag
#

Those that I have seen for a reasonable price are usually bot postings

karmic crag
karmic crag
regal crag
#

I've seen prices as high as $1000 for graphics cards of all sorts

fossil talon
#

I do too, however Canadian used market is slightly different

dawn plover
#

canadians smh

fossil talon
#

Well MSRP is only $50 dollars higher (CAD), and new GPU market is better than used GPU market atm

regal crag
#

I think I am going to try to wait...just frustrating how inflated this market has become.

dawn plover
#

as long as the pandemic exists, the demand will keep rising

fossil talon
#

Another option is the regular 3060 which comes out at the end of February. It is possible if you try, you can get the 3060 at release

#

Its slightly less performing than 3060ti but it should do the job

dawn plover
#

tbh i thought that the 3060ti was gonna be similar to the 2070s

fossil talon
#

I think so, I need to check on that again. Buying 2 when it comes out for private customers

dawn plover
#

got blown away when they benchmarked it comparing it to the 2080s

#

who knows what the 3060'll do

fossil talon
#

^

#

I wish, I'm waiting for 3080ti release, hence I haven't opened my 3080

static narwhal
#

I don't think it's worth waiting for the 3080ti because prices keep going up anyway

#

But the time you get a 3080ti, it'll msrp for what the 3090 fe was originally

faint kindle
#

The only reason really to wait for 3080ti is just if you need more vram and to be honest majority of people don’t

fossil talon
#

3D rendering. My PC is not only for gaming hence extra vram is appreciated

faint kindle
#

Ah, makes sense then

#

May be worth just biting the bullet and getting 3090 then

fossil talon

meanwhile ive been on a waitlist for a couple 3070 cards for 3 weeks lol

Is a 3060 gonna trump a ti?

I don't think so

Ohk thought so but will hopefully be cheaper. 20 series will get redistributed soon so I'm either gonna hop on that when prices go down or a 1080

tender mulch

No it will be slower than TI

#

less cores

#

I know this has been asked before, but any idea how to get a 3000 series?
I have a 660 rn, and looking to upgrade. I already have everything ready to build, except the new card. I might just build it, use my 660 for now, and replace it when I finally get a 3000 series.

livid idol
#

Best bet I've seen is to go to local shops, like ones that don't have much of an online store. Depending on the store they might put you on a email list too.

Gotcha

sign up for notifications on online retailers

#

By the time they notify you they will sale out. Best chance is inventory discord’s/streams or wait until 4th quarter 2021/1st quarter 2022

#

Though I think evga has a wait list or something similar, also if you have a micro center near me they may still be doing waitlists.

Gotcha. Thanks!

Hey all, I have a 3070 in which I am getting very low fps even at all low settings. Averaging 160(ish) with all low setting in rainbow six siege. Fortnite was atrocious with it dipping down a ton. I did ddu to get rid of my 1060 drivers, and downloaded the 3070 drivers. Any other ideas?

rare hull

What is your psu wastage

1080p I'm assuming?

#

DDU in Safe mode or through standard windows?

opal raptor
#

ddu through standard

tender mulch
#

Ahhhhhh

opal raptor
#

correct 1080

tender mulch
#

Gotta use Safe mode

#

Because in Safe mode the drivers are unloaded

#

so they can be fully wiped

opal raptor
#

interesting

tender mulch

#

Try Safe Mode

#

DDU

Welcome!

warm viper
#

are you guys doing anything about bots?

tender mulch
#

Yeah, the Newegg Shuffle

#

That's why it exists. but no one here is staff so.....

#

none of us can answer fully

signal haven
#

I wish they would publish a schedule or something on when they planned to do a shuffle for various products. It's the waiting for an undisclosed amount of time for a card that sucks. If you knew you had to wait 3 months I feel like most people could make peace with that.

livid idol
#

Publishing a schedule like that in advance is exactly what they're trying to avoid. Bots would be all over it.

wicked hound
#

Dont see how bots can do much to the shuffle. Sign up ten accounts? Standard person could also easily do that in the timeframe of the shuffle

#

if they had the addresses/bank accounts to do so (for both the bots and standard person)

mystic isle
wicked hound
#

not really, most people I see here chose more or less what they need (as in, not specific model). Only thing scalpers can get more of is because they chose both CPU and GPU. Im only picky with what Im getting because I bought waterblocks for my GPUs already, I cant switch. Though even then, I can still buy something better and look for trading it online to get what I need.

Either way, it pretty much is the ideal solution as the only other one is to either goto the address of the buyer and check them, or read their minds. Basically impossible stuff.

#

Seen a decent amount of people try to get a 3080, then get a 3060Ti/3070 as temp solution and sell it off once they get a 3080. Or order multiple 3080s/3070s and sell them off for standard price once they get the model they want

quick arrow
#

Is the RTX 2070 a good GPU? I checked some benchmarks, and for what it costs, it seems a great deal

livid idol
#

I love my 2070. 1440p high easy.

quick arrow
#

Ooh which game?

#

So if I get the RTX 2070, should I get a 1440p 144hz monitor?

livid idol
#

Most games that I've played.
It's not the top card of course; it's good enough for either 1440p or 144hz, but it'll struggle with both on high.

#

I've maxed the settings on Fallout 4 for example. And Dragon Ball FighterZ. And many others.

quick arrow
#

I see, have you tested Assassin's Creed Valhalla? Cyberpunk 2077 on it?

#

And how about Raytracing and DLSS, is it working well on the 2070?

livid idol
#

Assassin's Creed yes, high settings were good for 45-65 fps. I didn't do Cyberpunk because... well bugs mostly.
RT is decent but not as good as 30 series since no dedicated RT cores. DLSS is limited in supported games, but still nice.

quick arrow
#

Alright, high settings on valhalla 45 - 65 fps, that seems decent

#

As you said, it's not on the top gpus, but the 2070 isn't expansive like the 30 series

#

Maybe a 3070, I heard it's even better than the 2080TI

karmic crag
#

not by much, though. they'll trade blows in some cases

quick arrow
#

Ooh, interresting, the 3070 is kinda expansive though

#

Almost 1000$ (CAD)

livid idol
#

AC was possibly CPU limited as well, it had all my threads slammed pretty hard (R7 2700@4.1GHz)

quick arrow
#

Ooh

#

8 cores?

tender mulch
#

Assassins creed?

#

That's an AMD GPU title

livid idol
#

It's able to use all the cores since Valhalla is a DX12 only title

tender mulch
#

Right but it's optimized for AMD GPU's

#

GPU's that should score lower than nVidia score higher

#

My point is that it's not a good reference for FPS

#

lol

livid idol
#

Also true, but in my specific use case, I was pointing out my CPU might have been the bottleneck

tender mulch
#

2070 yeah?

livid idol
#

Even with 16 threads overclocked, I was at 80-100% util CPU and about 75-85% GPU

tender mulch
#

1080p though or 1440?

livid idol
#

1080p, any higher and I'd have to drop texture detail

tender mulch
#

Ye, 1080p tends to be more CPU dependent than other resolutions, especially on the AMD titles

livid idol
#

So I've noticed. Some games I need to enable upscaling just to use more than 30% of my GPU lol

tender mulch
#

Using task Manager?

livid idol
#

No Logitech G Hub app

tender mulch
#

Hmmm, not sure I'd trust that for GPU useage

#

Never tried though

#

I know Task Manger is wonky with GPU

#

Says CP2077 at 1440p with RTX on is using 1% of my GPU XD

livid idol
#

Yeah I don't use task manager for that lol. The Arx Control app to use my phone as a usage/temp monitor has been pretty good

quick arrow
#

I think I'll get the 2070 ^^ thanks to all of you 🙂

tender mulch
#

Just keep in mind they were discontinued last July. New stock may or may not happen, might have to go used or second hand

grave burrow
#

is a super better than a TI

tender mulch
#

Not typically, no

livid idol
#

Negligible difference in most cases

grave burrow
livid idol
#

Roughly, only a few percentage points between them

tender mulch
#

mmmmm

#

2080 super vs ti is ~20%

livid idol
#

Yeah that was one card though, I said most 😉

tender mulch
#

well, that's the only 2000 series that had a super and a TI 😉

#

Were there any in the 1000 series?

grave burrow
#

i think I'm going to go with the 1660 super because its cheaper not by much but still

livid idol
#

I... no, you're right

tender mulch
#

I was just giving you a hard time lol

#

because honestly the TI and Super thing, there aren't many card that have both

granted: take that with a grain of salt, that's as it stands now and if you're not buying until 6-7 months down the line, I suggest coming back and asking again to see updates on GPU market

I got the 3060 ti and i absolutely love it, it works great, my friend did have the 2060 s for a while and liked that as well, but he just upgraded to the 3070. the 2060 s is obviously a bit cheaper than the 30 series, but if it’s in your budget i would go with the 3060 ti

Honestly I would go for a 3060 or 3060ti

And he said there is no reason to get a 3060 over a 1070

#

don't worry about people like that @small salmon many just want to justify their purchase or older hardware. the 1070 is just about a 2060. your 3060 is about a 2080.

i would only buy it until theres more stock for 30 series

if you already have it, then you're already doing better than most without a gpu

damn, ebay is a madhouse right now with GPUs

dry sky

just thought it would be funny

#

Im happy I got my 3070 before prices went up.

#

Would've never gotten it at current prices

deep tusk
#

I see no difference

small salmon
#

I have a 560 rn

dry sky
#

what is better 3080 or 3070? im assuming it is 3080 right?

deep tusk
#

ye

small salmon
#

My friend really spent 200 on a motherboard and made fun of me for spending 60 bucks on an msi b450 pro vdh max

round wind
#

I spent like $120 on my b550m pro4

deep tusk
#

I mean does your friend oc?

small salmon
#

But then tells me it isn't worth spending an extra 30 on a 3060 over getting a 1070 off ebay

deep tusk
#

oh

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

¯_(ツ)_/¯

No he doesn't lol

@dry sky its not

@dry sky its not

deep tusk

lmao

dry sky
#

yea it is

round wind
#

No

deep tusk
#

proof?

round wind
#

It's not

small salmon
#

We both have the 3600 with stock cooler so neither of us are overclocking

deep tusk
#

ah

#

well I wouldn't go so far with that mobo honestly. I'd try for the tomahawk or an asrock board of the same price ($110)

dry sky
#

OOOOOOHHHH i see it now

#

XD

round wind
#

I wish I got a mobo with wifi in it because my gpu goes over my network adapter slot

#

and it barely fits in. So it stops a fan from spinning

#

I just took it out because temps were a bit to high for me without that fan

small salmon

#

@round wind just get a pcie wifi card

deep tusk
#

D:

#

gross

round wind
#

i DiD

#

Thats legit what it was

#

The GPU is SO THICC it pushed it away

deep tusk
#

what GPU?

hybrid kettle
#

Like a m.2 form factor or a pcie 1x

#

EVGA 3070

#

and its an matx board so only like 1 1x slot?

deep tusk
#

ah

and pcie 1

deep tusk
#

I build ITX systems so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hybrid kettle
#

If it’s a matx I’m not sure if it would have a wifi m.2 port on it so idk if you could get one of those

#

An E keyed slot

deep tusk
#

mobo form factor doesn't matter when it comes to features

#

hell I have TWO wifi/network adapters on my ITX board

frozen seal
#

wha?

#

like, built in and a card?

deep tusk
#

built in

#

I have 2 gigabit ethernet and 2 separate wifi adapters

frozen seal
#

one of them is bluetooth im pretty sure

deep tusk
#

nope

#

confirmed both gigabit wifi

frozen seal
#

oh, weird

#

do you use usb or sum?

deep tusk

@dawn plover ??

#

@frozen seal look

oh it's built in

I legit said that it's built in

My set up is..... special

#

if I was smart it could look decent

I have my pc turned to my wall so you can't see though the glass. Exposed Wires everywhere,

Im more of a guy who prefers functionality.

deep tusk
#

function can be style but not vice versa

round wind
deep tusk
#

ah, the old "melt the monitor" config

round wind
#

surprisingly my set up doesn't get hot

#

The hottest its ever gotten was 80 C even while maxing settings in games

#

Only time it got hotter was when I had that network adapter in that stopped a fan from spinning

deep tusk
#

80C?

round wind
#

Hottest ever

deep tusk
#

at full tilt my PC is chillen at 65C

round wind
#

must be your RGB fans

deep tusk
#

I don't have RGB fans

round wind
#

ba ba boi

deep tusk

the only RGB I have is my CPU cooler and a strip of LEDs

#

I'm around 70C max, to be fair I'm running quiet settings for my mesh case

i meant rgb fans

Anyone know what day and time the 3060 is coming out? I heard that its on the 5th but I just wanted to check.

opal raptor
#

My 3070 is extremely loud, around 50-60 decibels(judging from an app on my phone) its seems to be running 100%load in the home screen of rainbow six siege

deep tusk
#

hmmmmm

opal raptor
#

Maintaining 65°c

deep tusk
#

ah you made it seem like it was a problem

opal raptor
#

I mean like it was super loud

#

It was very surprising

#

Is there any fan curve that I can do?

deep tusk
#

if you're not limiting the frame rate you may not benefit from any curves

opal raptor
#

Hmm ok

#

How does the founders edition compare noise wise

deep tusk
#

no idea what you're reference for noise is

opal raptor
#

A small vaccuum

deep tusk
#

lmao

#

vaccuums are way louder than 60 decibels

opal raptor
#

A small one lol

deep tusk
#

even a small one

opal raptor
#

Mmm

#

Fine

#

My 1060 was super quiet, never heard a noise, then the new 3070 was so much lowder

#

Thats the comparison

deep tusk
#

hmmmm

opal raptor
#

Louder*

deep tusk
#

what kind of frames were you asking from it?

#

same monitor?

opal raptor
#

I was getting the expected frames

#

165hz monitor

deep tusk
#

if you had vsync on the 1060 it will be more quiet

opal raptor
#

Interesting

#

What if I turn vsync on for the 3070?

deep tusk
#

same thing

opal raptor
#

But less performance?

deep tusk
#

you will get more input lag but I guarantee unless you're super pro you will not notice.

#

define performance?

opal raptor
#

Hmmm

#

Less fps

#

It would be capped then right?

deep tusk
#

I mean if you're asking for 300 fps on a 165hz monitor when server tick rates are at 120 then idk what to tell you

opal raptor
#

Lol

#

Good point

#

I'll mess around with it thanks though

#

It seemed mine was a lot louder than other 3070s

deep tusk
#

I have a 144 hz monitor, on games like rocket league where 200fps matter even if you can'[t see it

#

not sure if seige is like that though

#

physics based games benefit from frames you can't see

opal raptor
#

Mhm

#

Thanks!

how bad is the rx 550?

I'm not sure about exact this but rx570 8gbs were around 180-200 ig 🤔

deep tusk

@lone pond september last year was like 99?

lone pond
#

🤔

#

amd uh

deep tusk
#

???

#

what's wrong with amd?

lone pond
#

i remember i got gift 570 and it was my worst card lol

lone pond
deep tusk
#

I have a lucky sample. I only use a 120

lone pond
#

9600k easily can go to 5ghz lol

deep tusk
lone pond
#

amd drivers are eww Cringe

deep tusk
#

I have built 4 amd systems in the last six months not a problem from any of my clients

lone pond
#

its not like its defective it works but

lone pond
deep tusk
#

eh

lone pond
#

@lone pond lol couse i have bad history with amd xd

deep tusk
#

@lone pond my temps on the 9600k at full load are 75C and I'm doing that 5.0 with only 1.33V

lone pond
#

i have 9600k on aorus z390 pro wifi anf hyper 212 honstly all i have done is changed the cpu clock ratio to 4.6 i dont know how to overclock

#

not best cooler

deep tusk
#

ah, I did mine on the asrock z390

lone pond
deep tusk
#

great cooler for price

lone pond
#

yeah its cheap i agree

deep tusk
#

awesome upgrade when compared to stock coolers too

lone pond
#

lol ofc

#

stock coolers are eww

deep tusk
#

I managed to hold 4.7ghz at like 65C

#

1.15volts though on the evo 212

lone pond
#

i didnt get a sock cooler tho cuz its a k series

deep tusk
#

yea

lone pond
#

do you have it 5ghz on all core

deep tusk
#

yes sir

lone pond
#

what is cpu clock ratio

#

5ghz with 1.32v is stable on 9600k

deep tusk
#

@lone pond every sample is different but I'm stable at 1.33

lone pond
#

i still need to figure out how to overclock at all

#

lol

#

what does cpu clock ratio do tho?

deep tusk
#

clock ratio is multiplied by base clock speed (usually 100)

#

so a 50 ratio by base should mean 5000mhz or 5.0ghz

lone pond
#

yeah but is clock ratio all core or single core or...?

deep tusk
#

that depends on what you're configuring

#

you can set it to all core or per core

lone pond
#

how

#

ig you wouldnt know how on gigbyte

deep tusk
lone pond
#

well do you?

deep tusk
#

at this point I'm not sure if I would even tell you. OCing isn't unique from board to board on the same chipset. Sometimes the terminology is a little different but a simple google search will correct that pretty easily.

what is the best place to find when gpu's are gonna be stocked again?

upper stump
#

I'm looking at getting either a RX 5500 or a RX 5600

The 5500 is 8 GB and the 5600 is 6 GB
The 5500 goes from 1647 MHz - 1845 MHz
And the 5600 goes from 1280 MHz to 1620 MHz

What I'm looking at online shows the 5500 as having a higher speed and more memory, but benchmarks say the 5600 is better, which one is better?

less cuda cores

they announced it in the laptop stream

less cuda cores more VRAM

cunning crypt

From there

So it should be

lone pond

cool cool

faint saffron
#

Theres an asus dual 3060 ti for pre-order

lone pond
#

how much

cunning crypt
#

It will take a while to come

faint saffron
#

supposedly 530

cunning crypt
#

Be. Sometimes it can be backordered

faint saffron
#

shipment of 3770 incoming

#

but the shipment to bought is puttin it at next month or so

cunning crypt
green harness
#

Their incoming number is the number ordered. The number delivered to them may be substantially lower (in many cases I expect it would be). Also the price you are actually charged may be updated due to price increases that occur between when you submit the backorder and when the card arrives. iirc you would have to approve any increased price

faint saffron
#

thats what I sheid

cunning crypt
green harness
#

I'm not saying don't put in a backorder (I did) just be aware of those factors

faint saffron
#

would a 3060 ti or 3060 be better for a 9600K

tender mulch
#

what resolution?

#

1080p?

green harness
faint saffron
#

I got 2 1440p

tender mulch
#

oh

#

you'll want 3060TI or 3070 then

cunning crypt
#

3060ti

faint saffron
#

myy 1060 runs themOK, just not at all great on teh newer AAA expiriend

tender mulch
#

Yeah, the 1060 for 1440p is going to be a lower end experience

faint saffron
#

myt original plan was 3070, til tariffs and bs

tender mulch
#

honestly

#

The performance difference between 3060 TI and 3070 is only about ~10%

faint saffron
#

r6 runs like 80 fps on low- mediu

tender mulch
#

So 3060 TI be fine

faint saffron
#

the shopbaconlettucetomato thing dont got any asus tufs thout

What card will you want ?

I was gonna go asus maybe dual or tuf

cunning crypt
#

I got my for 250 usd

#

On eBay

faint saffron

idk how low i have seen the 9700k, but its like 260 or 300 at micro center

cunning crypt
#

Yeah

#

It’s a nice cpu

faint saffron
#

my cpu's top temp has been 50 celsius that I have seen, but my gpu its gotten to like 75 in game

cunning crypt

I need my psu still

I got me a c750

HI everyone, I have a question is someone can help me. I will use a 1200w PSU to power 3 GPU . My problem is the max watts per cable. all will be bellow the 1200w total. The psu said 8 x 8 pin avalaible (need 2 per GPU) But the PSU have only 4 cables with 2 x8pin on each. My question is if the cable will be limiter by 150W or 300W , cause each card will take more than 200w . Thank you very much

weak reef
#

Is going from a 1060 6 gb to a 3060ti a good GPU upgrade at the moment? or should I wait?

tender mulch
#

HUGE upgrade

tender mulch
#

Need to get more cables

livid idol
#

I hope that PSU is modular, you'll be using a lot of slots

pale lodge
#

Thanks, I have 8 connector 8 pin on 4 cables, so I can connect the card, but worried about the max load of each cable can take

tender mulch
#

Each PCI-E power cable is about 200 watts rated

pale lodge
#

ok thanks, I saw I draw aroud 220w total per card, so than will not work 😦 thanks a lot.

tender mulch
#

yes it will

#

Because the PCI-E slot provides up to 75 W of power

#

then each cable is 200W

pale lodge
#

yes but 3 GPU with two 8pin each, my 1200w psu have 4 cables with 2 8pin by cable. My card drain at the moment, 112w on 1 8pin, 93w on the second and 27 on the PCI-E

#

so theorically. Ill have 305 what per cable stable + randowns peak.

#

since my psu tell it have 8 x 8 pin.. but is 4 cables

ancient furnace
#

Interesting. I dont really have anything to add but curious why 3 GPU's. 2 not enough for what you are trying to do? Maybe 2 good ones instead?

tender mulch
#

Mining

#

OH

pale lodge
#

yes

tender mulch
#

I understand now

#

Each cable has two connectors

#

But you only have 4 cables

ancient furnace
#

ah figured so. Yeah, I know the more gpu the less strain on each one.

tender mulch
#

I get it

#

Hmm, lemme dig a bit more

pale lodge
#

exacly,

tender mulch
#

I've heard up to 250 per cable also

#

brb

pale lodge
#

it said 8 x 8 pins. but i saw it 4 cables, if im not wrong

tender mulch
#

I'm looking at the wire sizes if thermaltake lists them. That will tell how much power

livid idol
#

Yes that's 4 cables, 4 PCIe slots on the PSU, so 2x8 pin on each cable

tender mulch
#

Ye

pale lodge
#

Ill try to fin the cable size

tender mulch
#

16 gauge wire

#

So for each PCI-E cable, regardless of the number of ends, looks like the max is 288W safely

pale lodge
#

Thanks for the informatin. You save me. Since I reduce the power with msi afterburnet at 220watts i should be safe. :-) :-)

tender mulch
#

Yep

pale lodge
#

You save me xd

I won't do it again

tender mulch
#

it also includes recruiting

#

Thx 🙂

small salmon
#

Ok

static crane
#

anyone else going to blown there brains out trying to get a 3000 series card or is that just me

small salmon
#

I am gonna try to get a 3060 fe

#

I will try my absolute hardest to get my hands on it

tender mulch
#

I spent 1.5 months and got one

small salmon
#

My cpu doesn't pass 20% with my current gpu lmao

#

I have an rx 560 rn that I got from a friend for 40 bucks

tender mulch
#

That depends a lot on the resolution and game TBH

small salmon
#

Yeah

tender mulch
#

But a 560 won't work it hard yeah

small salmon
#

Ryzen 5 3600 with 16 gb 3200mhz ram

#

and then I just have my 560 that is like "hey"

tender mulch
#

As long as the GPU is at 100% I assume?

small salmon
#

Playing Valorant my gpu is at 100% and my cpu is at like 15

#

Lol

tender mulch
#

Ye

small salmon
#

That is base level settings at 1080p

coarse spindle
#

Hmm bottleneck city

small salmon
#

yeah wooooooooooo

coarse spindle
#

Gotta love it lol

#

40$ is pretty fair for a 460

small salmon
#

a 560

#

I am like the fifth of my friends to have this gpu lol

coarse spindle
#

U should upgrade to something like a 3060ti high end or a r9 fury mid or a 570 low

small salmon
#

Alright

coarse spindle
#

(If it is not obvious i love a good r9 fury)

#

980 also good

#

And there are points in between

small salmon
#

ok

#

I will try to get my hands on a regular 3060 at release but if I can't I will wait to see what the difference is between that and the 3060ti

coarse spindle
#

Ooh you have evolved

small salmon
#

Yeah lol

coarse spindle
#

But yes, good idea

small salmon
#

Cuz if I can get one it is not worth letting it go to find a 3060ti

coarse spindle
#

The 3600x was super popular but a 3080 or 3070 is a little much for it

#

Either will work like a charm

small salmon
#

Honestly I am fine with anything from a 3060 to a 3070

#

But I am 16 and work 13 hours a week for 9 bucks an hour so I don't really wanna spend too much lol

coarse spindle
#

Wow

#

Ok i see where you are coming from

small salmon
#

You know what is impressive? I built my pc for less than 450 bucks

coarse spindle
#

The used market is pretty good for this stuff price/pref

#

PFFFFF

#

impressive?

#

You clearly haven’t been near me long

small salmon
#

I have a b450 pro vdh max, ryzen 5 3600, 16 gb 3200mhz ram, a 120gb ssd and a 1tb hard drive and an rx 560

#

Considering all the price risings rn that is pretty impressive

coarse spindle
#

I mean you could go full value phyco

small salmon
#

Yeah I know

coarse spindle
#

B350 on aliexpress, 3500x (it exists on taubaou) aliexpress ram and a really cheap ssd

small salmon
#

I considered doing that but I couldn't find a 3500g that was cheaper than a 3600 for some reason lol

#

Dang scalpers smh

coarse spindle
#

Your thinking of 3400g i think

#

The 3500 is a rare breed

small salmon
#

probably

#

Ok

coarse spindle
#

It was basically a 3600 but on an older architecture

small salmon
#

Huh

#

ok

coarse spindle
#

Same relive speed tho

small salmon
#

nice

coarse spindle
#

Ryzen has same stupid architecture names and model names

small salmon
#

Oh yeah my friend just dropped 1500 bucks on a pc and I wanted to strangle him

coarse spindle
#

At least intels makes sense and they have the decency to make most CPUs have apus

small salmon
#

I helped him build it, water cooled and everything it is sick

#

But he paired an i7 10700k with a 1660ti!

#

He spent 400 bucks on a used 1660ti

#

I don't get why he would do that when that is the price of the 3060ti lol

coarse spindle
#

Oof

#

Smart CPU buy, not so much on the GPU

small salmon
#

Yeah lol

#

I told him to just wait and he said no

coarse spindle
#

It makes me mad he bought the TI

small salmon
#

And now he is telling me off for trynna spend 300 on a 3060

coarse spindle
#

The super is better

small salmon
#

The super is literally like no different and significantly cheaper

coarse spindle
#

Yeah the super is just better all around tho

#

EVGA ko is my go to 1660s

small salmon
#

My mans has 32 gigs of corsair rgb ram with a corsair aio and a beefy rgb case with 7 fans

#

Plus a 200 dollar motherboard and an i7 10700k

#

and then he has a 1660ti

#

Like bruh

#

Oh and my other friend is mad that I am gonna go for a 3060 and he is trynna tell me a 1070 is better

#

Because he doesn't want me to have a better pc than him lol

coarse spindle
#

He is so mad 😆

#

The 3060 will almost definitely be better than the 2070, not to mention the RTX

tender mulch
#

Well, they have the 3060 placed just above the 2060

small salmon
#

Mans straight up told me the 1070 has better raytracing???

tender mulch
#

Nope

#

doesn't have it at all

small salmon
#

Exactly

#

lol

coarse spindle
#

I mean if you really try

#

You can achieve ray tracing

#

But not real time or anything

small salmon
#

It gets like 2 frames in minecraft rtx because it has no dlss and it doesn't actually have rtx

coarse spindle
#

Yep, but it CAN

small salmon
#

Yeah lol

#

Neither of them want me to get an rtx card and like I get it

coarse spindle
#

I am sure if i really worked my gt120 it COULD

small salmon
#

They have been doing this for years and I just started

coarse spindle
#

Yep, good to be on top of em

small salmon
#

But I am gonna get the best budget build I can

#

Not gonna have a worse build just to be nice if it will cost me the same price

#

Oh also one more question

#

If I am gonna use a 3060 or 3060ti I should definitey upgrade my psu from 600w right?

#

Oh I love your pfp btw

#

I had a bender pfp before but I changed it

past breach
#

cant wait for the 3060 release

round rampart
#

wish 6800xt or 3080s were in stock

past breach
#

GPU's are in high demand

#

even 1060 3gb are hecka expensive now

small salmon
#

You going for the fe 3060 too?

A.K#4776 has been warned

sterile schooner
#

Gpu shopping stresses me out

livid idol
#

I sold my 1060 3GB for $125 but they've been going for more

glacial patrol
livid idol
#

Bids though. People have been trolling the ebay scalpers with crazy high bids that they'll never pay.

glacial patrol
#

They need to add a verification system for bids

livid idol
#

Well they have an option to block bids from accounts with no feedback but that only does so much

glacial patrol
#

what bout a requirement to add your credit card or somethin

livid idol
#

They still couldn't charge you without you finalizing the final price legally

glacial patrol
#

oof

livid idol
#

Even paypal scams are getting more common. Once your account is verified and all that you can get your finalized payment in a couple days, but then the item arrives not as described or broken, but the money has already been pulled from the account so no refund.

sterile schooner
#

Always gotta buy with eBay protection

#

I always use PayPal

#

Never lost my money

livid idol
#

Yeah if you have half a brain you can usually avoid the scammers pretty easily. If the price is too good to be true it isn't

sterile schooner
#

That too

#

I don’t buy a 3080 for $250

glacial patrol
sterile schooner
#

Lol $2750 total

glacial patrol
#

These scammers aint even trying to be legit

sterile schooner
#

No refunds

glacial patrol
#

lol

livid idol
#

Blatant scam. I can't believe so many fell for that. $1500 card minimum

sterile schooner
#

Easily

drowsy mirage
#

Can't you find a 3090 on ebay for like $1500 to $2000?

glacial patrol
#

6 people fell for the "pre-order"

livid idol
#

3090 MSRP is $1500, so naturally it's inflated like everything else

sterile schooner
#

I don’t think you can even find a legit one for $1500

sterile schooner
drowsy mirage
#

Gotcha, I was probably thinking 3080 lol, gotta love no stock

glacial patrol
#

"jpeg edition"

drowsy mirage

#

I truly believe they have plenty of these gpu but they trickle them out to raise the demand

drowsy mirage

^ I don't doubt it
