[inland hound]

sides

polygons

[lone pond]

^

Thats the word.

[inland hound]

you mean polygons

[lone pond]

Yep

[inland hound]

do you have No Man's Sky?

[lone pond]

Yep polygons

Unfortunately no.

Why?

[inland hound]

need someone to play with

[lone pond]

How much is it?

Im sure if its not like 1,000 bucks i can afford it lol.

[humble peak]

Anyone know a notification bot for graphics cards for Canada specifically

[inland hound]

on sale rn

half off

$30

[lone pond]

God damn cheap

[inland hound]

what currency is that

[lone pond]

British pounds

converted its like 20 bucks

[inland hound]

its $30 straight through steam

[lone pond]

damn, forgot i bought a gpu sag bracket lol

15.85 OOF

let me check if i have some extra saved.

Wait, did epic ever release it as a "free game?"

I have a ton of games on epic. They were all free lol.

[inland hound]

not afaik

idk if its even on epic

[lone pond]

but tbh, i would down to play it.

Watched the vid i think

"internet historian: No man sky"

[inland hound]

Yes Woman's Land

[lone pond]

lmfao

ofc its so cheap on ps4

[inland hound]

The Engoodening of No Man's Sky

[lone pond]

damn, why didn't i take my ps4 with me

[fading valley]

can someone anwser me this

how the hell is buying new is cheaper than used

[lone pond]

It isn't

[haughty glacier]

Maybe coz of sky-high demand and scalpies

[lone pond]

That wouldn't make sense

If it was sky high demand, then it would be cheaper buying used

since no card exists on the market.

If it was scalpers, it would still be cheaper used.

since they are scalping mostly new cards

[haughty glacier]

Maybe that one is looking on a very much scalped used card idk

Or maybe it's selling the box of gpu with rocks inside lol

[sinful crater]

was buying a 1050ti for $80 worth it

used

[median monolith]

i mean just saw 1050ti's at my closest microcenter for like $219.

brand new

[tender mulch]

Hmmmm, maybe the re-release rumors are true then

What AIB's?

[lone pond]

hmm.

When did they stop producing pascal?

During AMpere?

you might be right about that one

[tender mulch]

been discontinued for a while

[median monolith]

I believe it was MSI. They only had that one and maybe like 5 boxes

[lone pond]

thats what I thought.

Damn they really recontinuing pascal

[tender mulch]

RTX2000 series discontinued last July

[lone pond]

gt 1030s are 155 on amazon

[tender mulch]

Well, I wouldn't call 5 units a come back

[lone pond]

Damn the GPU market is messed up

[median monolith]

oh yeah def agree with you vintage. Just happened to see a couple when I went to get a new case

[lone pond]

I want to get another gpu for my itx rig

but not with these current prices lol

might as well find one that can fit my 3070

[tender mulch]

I mean, I'd like to see them come back TBH

[lone pond]

Pascal was nice

without pascal, never would of gotten rtx 3070

[tender mulch]

Right now a super low end card but still worthwhile budget gaming

[lone pond]

Cause a 1050 sounds pog

in a itx build for pc lol

a 3070, taking an atx rig to school is no bueno lol

i ride a bike and could not carry that thing with a handle

i don't want to use my laptop

im desperate.

Unfortunately couldnt find atx cases that are small

Or itx cases that fit atx motherboards lol

[safe elk]

Build a pc in a back pack

portable

and sleek

[lone pond]

I was thinking that

but i'd need a wood.

[safe elk]

wood?

[lone pond]

and bolt standoffs to the fabric lol

cause fabric aint solid.

[safe elk]

o

[lone pond]

Need something that won't sag, and bend

[safe elk]

metal backpack

[lone pond]

lol

[sand sparrow]

where can i get a dang 3060ti/3070

[tender mulch]

best Buy or Newegg Shuffle Mon-Thurs

[solemn panther]

Newegg shuffle might save your life

Always enter

[ornate valley]

is a 960 good for like entry?

[livid idol]

Yeah a 960 would be good for 1080p gaming still

But don't spend too much on it

[ornate valley]

igh

[velvet cloud]

950 to much for a MSI Suprim GeForce RTX 3070 8gb GDDR6

[livid idol]

That's one of the best 3070s iirc

Not too bad I'd say

[tender mulch]

Well, the best overclocker was the Asus TUF

[livid idol]

Gah what am I saying

[tender mulch]

even over the FTW3

[velvet cloud]

Is it worth 950?

[tender mulch]

950?

No way

[livid idol]

Yeah just wait for a 3080 to hit retail and be quick on the click

[velvet cloud]

Ah OK ty lol I'm mainly looking for a rog strix 3070 or 3080 white for my build but can't find s$^&&#^@^@%@& lol

[tender mulch]

Yeah, you will have to be extra patient for that

[velvet cloud]

I can't find anything:(

I was so close to a 3090 on a stock drop notification from 🐌... then I got botted 😭 😭 😭

[livid idol]

It'll feel so much better once you finally get one

Better about yourself, and your wallet

[tender mulch]

Think of it not as money but hours of your life

That will change your perspective a bit

[runic beacon]

Will it be easy to get a 3060 when it drops?

[velvet cloud]

I got that ryzen 7 5800 msrp from the Amazon

Butttt it'll be a few weeks till it gets here

[tender mulch]

We will find out in 5 days

[livid idol]

Nvidia killed its mining performance so that might help, plus retailers are starting to figure out how to stop bots

[tender mulch]

yes, it's getting better

[velvet cloud]

I'm with @runic beacon on this I hope to get thay access easy

[tender mulch]

Also, I give it 48 hours before someone has a modded BIOS for mining lol

[livid idol]

Or a driver mod with HxD

[velvet cloud]

Doesn't nvidia say it's unhackable

Lol

[livid idol]

That's just a challenge

[tender mulch]

Ya, I'm really curious to see what happens

We all know it can't be stopped

Slowed, sure but not stopped

[livid idol]

Saying something like that only makes more people try

[lone pond]

I read its vbios

[tender mulch]

What was that DRM that actually stood the test of time?

[tender mulch]

Denuvo?

[lone pond]

Battle.net?

[livid idol]

Yeah Denuvo

Only reason Denuvo still works is because it literally breaks the games it protects lol

[tender mulch]

This is true

But challenge accepted and not completed

So it can be done

[livid idol]

There's workarounds

[runic beacon]

should I try to get the 3060?

[livid idol]

But they're not universal workarounds and trying to get around the copy protection often breaks it

[tender mulch]

yes

Always try

[runic beacon]

Well itll be an upgrade from my rx 580, so ill try.

[tender mulch]

Yes, it will be an upgrade

[runic beacon]

So what are the steps to getting it? What sites, what times, and how?

[tender mulch]

Absolutely no idea how the release will go

There's no information yet

[velvet cloud]

Is a 3060 worth it msrp

[runic beacon]

So what site should I be on when it happens

[velvet cloud]

Now

[tender mulch]

I mean, somewhere between 2060 and 2070, probs closer to 2070 performance

Depends on what you're upgrading from

We have to wait for real world tests first

As of now, there are none

[runic beacon]

@tender mulch should I be on nvidia's website during the launch time?

[tender mulch]

no, they aren't selling cards

And there is no 3060 Founders Edition

it will be board partners only

[runic beacon]

so what company websites?

[velvet cloud]

I'm starting from nothing lol

[covert forge]

Amazon beat buy new egg

[tender mulch]

We don't know yet, there's no information

The board partners themselves may sell it also

Like EVGA, MSI, ASUS etc

[livid idol]

We only know it'll launch soon and leaks all say the 25th

[covert forge]

On nvidias sight it says the 25th

[runic beacon]

I saw it would be available at 9AM, I don't know how accurate the time is.

[tender mulch]

if they give a time but not where, it's inaccurate lol

[lone pond]

what would be hilarious is if the launch says 25th, but they mean 2025

Honestly i could see NVIDIA pulling something like that

[next leaf]

thinking bout getting a 1080 or a 1080 ti since i cant get a 30 series gpu or 20

[livid idol]

Might as well, still OP for 1080p and plenty for 1440p

[forest parrot]

tons on the used market

just wait for the scalping to die down a bit

[lone pond]

And tariffs.

Don't know about tariffs though

[forest parrot]

well tariffs is only on imports

[livid idol]

Tariffs don't affect used

[lone pond]

Haven't heard anything about them.

[forest parrot]

if its off of fb and ebay theres no tariff

but because of the diminished supply people are charging 600-700 for used 1080tis

which is absurd

considering a 3080 retail is 700

but u cant find at retail so idk

[lone pond]

here i can see 3080s retailing for 800, maybe even 900

10.25 sales tax oof

[forest parrot]

yes but were talking about 5 year old used cards

going for the same price as current gen brand new cards

[tender mulch]

I mean, my 2060 just sold for $500 on Ebay, not even a super

[lone pond]

Well yeah, gt 1030 is going for 155

I got my old one for 50

[forest parrot]

yeah thats why im saying to wait on the scalping to die down

[lone pond]

Wait

[forest parrot]

or go for the local used market

[lone pond]

for a sec i thought best buy is instore for 3080

no?

[forest parrot]

no

[lone pond]

am i dreaming

[forest parrot]

all online

[lone pond]

ah.

[livid idol]

CPUs are in store

[forest parrot]

thats why its so hard

microcenter has in store

[lone pond]

Lol we have 1 here. I remember having 1 in chicago

thats how I got into PC

I asked the guy, "how do i use this drive thingy on my other laptop"

and he pointed me to usb sata lol

[forest parrot]

lmao

i live in chicago

but i hear the westmont one is better

[lone pond]

i can't remember

are there 2 of them?

[forest parrot]

there are two in illinois

about 20 miles apart

[livid idol]

Nearest MC to me is over 8 hours in no traffic lol

[lone pond]

Westmont

ah

[forest parrot]

one on the east side of chicag

[lone pond]

thats the one yeah

[forest parrot]

and one on the west

west is westmont

east is chicago

[lone pond]

How do you have buyers regret so fast lol

I bought 3070 and then for weeks i was like, why didn't i get a 3080

I use 1080p

[forest parrot]

lmao

[lone pond]

don't know why i would think that

Only thing maybe is 3d

[forest parrot]

i have a 3060ti for 1080p

[lone pond]

that extra vram could benefit me

Somehow I got a game to hit 6/8gb vram

[forest parrot]

what

[lone pond]

Apparently the mods suck up vram

[forest parrot]

cyberpunk?

[lone pond]

Lol

No

satisfactory

lmfao

[forest parrot]

idk what that is

[lone pond]

even blender sucks up like 4 vram max

high meshes, like 5gb

[forest parrot]

all i know is cold war doesnt like running well on a 3700x and 3060ti

[lone pond]

I tried cold war

ran alright

[forest parrot]

i kept getting stutters

[lone pond]

turned off the RT settings

[forest parrot]

no matter the settings i had on

[lone pond]

cause ofc that would kill any card.

[forest parrot]

but i never got stutters on my 2060super

[lone pond]

rt settings

[forest parrot]

thats why im confused

i have those off

[lone pond]

texture quality?

Ultra or whatever lags the hell out of your game.

[forest parrot]

i tried all settings

i have it on high

but even on medium i get stutters

its annoying af

bc my friend runs the game just fine on a 3070

and its not overheating

[lone pond]

updated drivers?

[forest parrot]

yep

[lone pond]

[forest parrot]

latest version

im just as confused

[lone pond]

https://www.caffeinatedgamer.com/black-ops-cold-war-how-to-fix-stutter-and-hitching/

Lmfao

[forest parrot]

even with dlss on

[lone pond]

Change the "0.8 value to 0.65"

for video_memory

[forest parrot]

but the game doesnt even take up that much vram

it takes up like 3.4gb on the current settings

i will try

if it helps ig its the problem

[analog hawk]

anyone recommend a gpu test to test for artifacts or something

[forest parrot]

heaven benchmark?

msi kombustor

[inland hound]

Furmark

Maybe

3DMark

[analog hawk]

just got kombustor what test should i run? and like a stress test or a preset

[charred kernel]

Are the GPU prices expected to go down anytime soon?

[inland hound]

Depends

If nvidia is smart about it then they will soon

But they aren’t going to be

[analog hawk]

how bad are the increases rn?

[inland hound]

2x, if not more

[analog hawk]

oh thats tough

[charred kernel]

But even the AMD's cards are almost double compared to when I was looking for one last November/December

[inland hound]

AMD cards are rarer than NVidia rn

[elfin parrot]

No their not?

There

[inland hound]

Modern ones at least

[tender mulch]

I mean, Tariffs need to go away.

[analog hawk]

what kombustor test should i run and a stress test or a preset?

[inland hound]

6000 series vs 3000 series

[charred kernel]

I just checked 5500xt on newegg. $999 back in November/December most models were under $300

[analog hawk]

5500xt for 1k damn

[tender mulch]

That's probably a third party scalper

If so, you should email Newegg about it

They'll remove it

[charred kernel]

Yeah that's what I read. But I can't get my head around that huge of an increase

[tender mulch]

It's scalping

From companies that suck

[charred kernel]

Check this out on @Newegg: MSI Radeon RX 5500 XT DirectX 12 RX 5500 XT MECH 8G OC 8GB 128-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 HDCP Ready Video Card https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-5500-xt-rx-5500-xt-mech-8g-oc/p/N82E16814137488?Item=9SIAG7RBPN8192&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIAG7RBPN8192-_-02212021

[tender mulch]

Oh yeah

scalper

report that

[e-mail]

[charred kernel]

Is it expected to?

[tender mulch]

Well, that depends entirely on the government so....hurry up and wait

[analog hawk]

just reported that as well to help out maybe

[charred kernel]

Fml I almost bought a 1660 Super last year but I wasn't going to be gaming for the next 2 months. So I thought it'd be a better idea to buy February/March this year 😭

1660 Super for $800 🤮 Check this out on @Newegg: MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER DirectX 12 GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING X 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-gtx-1660-super-gtx-1660-super-gaming-x/p/N82E16814137476?Item=9SIARA8D2G6434&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIARA8D2G6434-_-02212021

[tender mulch]

Those are scalpers

That's not realistic lol

[analog hawk]

ye

[tender mulch]

I HOPE no one buys those

[analog hawk]

yeah

[fervent marsh]

6800xt or 3080???

[lone pond]

probably should look up msrp before buying it smh

lol

[steep drum]

Hey not sure if anyone can help but I uh may have purchased a card the was like triple the msrp and didn't know till after I placed the order on Amazon. Am I just at mercy of the seller here? I tried to reach out and cancel but the last time something like this happened it took like 2 weeks for me to get the charge reversed

I'd super rather not pay almost 700 dollars for a 1660 ti someone help

Am dumb

[haughty glacier]

lol

[lone pond]

6800 xt work well with 3700x or is it bottlenecked?

[spare relic]

Sounds fine to me

[lone pond]

lmao.

why you read msrp before purchasing

[haughty glacier]

at least buy the ones that's near msrp (near, but ugh...). maybe if u find umm a 1650 or 5500 xt 8gb u can find one actually near msrp and bnew. higher ones just relies on how desperate are you n getting a card

[covert forge]

Do y’all think the 3060 is a good card cus I’m planning on getting it

[haughty glacier]

yea

[spare relic]

Pretty much anything in the 3000 series will be good

[somber grail]

Finally going to say screw it and drive 3 hours to a microcenter and try to get a 3000 series card. What’s the best day to go (may be able to stay a few days with some fam near by) and how far in advance before opening should I plan to go?

Overland Park KS microcenter if it makes a difference

[snow crystal]

How much for the card? And which card is it?

[somber grail]

Which ever 3060ti or 3070 I can get and the microcenters cell at msrp

[snow crystal]

Oh damn. I thought you already went on an came back. Haha. Yeah, please go and let us know that we still can buy at msrp. I used to drive 3 hours just to get some groceries. But i moved out of state, so yeah. Only can look from far away.

If you can get a 3070 or 3080 at microcenter, let us know. I can ask my friend to go get it for me. Tks

[twilit magnet]

Ooof wish I could get a graphics card, am I right or am I right?

[finite compass]

hey, i was using a 3 3200g apu, started using a radeon 7770 GPU, and planning on getting a new CPU next, but my GPU, while having more frames, stutters a lot more then my APU did, anyone know why?

[tender mulch]

yes, the APU is much better than the 7770

The 7770 only has 1 GB VRAM, that's why

Need at least 4 for 1080p gaming

[finite compass]

really? i was told it was better on here, and it seemed like it was online, and i get more frames, but just more stuttering, so now im just confused

[tender mulch]

AMD HD7770 yes?

[finite compass]

yeah

[tender mulch]

Yeah, that's a downgrade

Not enough VRAM for 1080p

While the GPU core itself is probably better, the lack of VRAM is causing your stutters

1080p should have at least 4 GB VRAm

[finite compass]

why tf was every thing a heard and looked at saying it was better

[tender mulch]

This right?? https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-HD7770-DC-1GD5-V2-Radeon-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B007RFYFH0

Not that specific brand but that card yeah?

Most likely because people used a website like UserBenchMark to compare them which is very inaccurate

[finite compass]

yeah, sapphire radeon HD 7770

[tender mulch]

People tend to look at the small picture instead of the big picture considering all aspects of things

[finite compass]

i mean, mk11 runs fine on it

better then the apu when i was testing these

[tender mulch]

how much system ram do you have?

[finite compass]

16

16gb 3000

[tender mulch]

How much RAM did you have allocated to the iGPU in the BIOS?

[finite compass]

i.... im not sure

let me go check

[tender mulch]

Slap it up to 4 GB and try the APU again

Wait you actually listened to Compooper and bought that?

I remember this from yesterday now

Or a couple days ago

[finite compass]

Yeah, why?

[tender mulch]

That GPU is 9 years old

i think they were attempting to troll you

looking back on those posts

They didn't consider a number of things when recommending that

I honestly don't even know why a 1 GB VRAM card would even be recommended

[finite compass]

Honestly, i was kinda confused, but it was less then $50 and the only gpu i could find

[tender mulch]

Over a Vega 8 APU

Yes, 1 GB VRAm can WORK at 1080p but all the graphics need turned down a lot

I would honestly look at how much RAM is allocated to the iGPU and make sure it's 4GB if you can and try it again

[finite compass]

Ok, im trying to do that, but i cant find the setting to

[tender mulch]

What board?

Motherboard

[finite compass]

B450 tamahawk max

[tender mulch]

It's called UMA Frame Buffer

Advanced - Integrated Graphics Configuration - UMA Frame buffer size

[finite compass]

Ok, so there is only up to 2GB

[tender mulch]

Hmmm, OK, is what it then

Should get much less stutters with that but slightly less FPS

[finite compass]

And using apu instead of gpu, right?

[tender mulch]

Yes

[finite compass]

Let me play a match and i will get back to you

[finite compass]

Ok, a little bit less frames then with the gpu, but the frames are consistant now and way better then the stuttering, thanks

Idk what im gonna do with this gpu now

[astral ginkgo]

guy im looking for the best aid 3080 card

whats better i want to buy it when it will be available

[tender mulch]

Better in terms of ?

RGB>? Temperature? Raw FPS? mining?

[astral ginkgo]

overall for gaming especially cooling

[astral ginkgo]

hello

[inland hound]

This is why we can’t let Compooper in this channel

[tender mulch]

This happened in General

-_-

[inland hound]

Huh

This is why we have to ban compooper permanently

[tender mulch]

I'm tempted

This one actually cost a person money

[inland hound]

Oh hey

Vintage

What’s your opinion on 65daysofstatic?

[tender mulch]

Never even heard of that

[inland hound]

Spotify them

Blueprint for a Slow Machine and Supermoon are both really good

[tender mulch]

No Mans Sky??

Cuz that's what it sounds like

[inland hound]

It’s the music used in NMS

They did the soundtrack for it

[tender mulch]

I knew as soon as I fired it up lol

[inland hound]

By itself it’s good imo, I was wondering what you thought

[green harness]

Depending on where they bought the card from they might be able to return it

[tender mulch]

Ebay

[green harness]

Oof

[tender mulch]

Mmhmmm

[onyx reef]

Guys I am going to be coming to the US in July

I plan on making a roadtrip from Chicago to California

Is it possible to pick up a 3080 on the way

I mean will I be able to find stock

[tender mulch]

Microcenter

is your only chance

Otherwise they are all sold Online Only

[onyx reef]

Yes thats what i will do

Roadtrip from city to city as a holiday

Try to pick one up

But i have been told there is a wait time

[tender mulch]

I would call ahead to all of them

[onyx reef]

About 10 days

[tender mulch]

I honestly don't know anything about Microcenter. The nearest one is 20 hours from me

[onyx reef]

Wait so no other retailers have stock

Only microcenter is my hop

hope*

[tender mulch]

Yes

Everyone else is Online Only

Unfortunately

[onyx reef]

Will that change until July

Damm that sucks

[tender mulch]

There is no news on when it will end

Hopefully soon

[astral ginkgo]

any suggestion for: 3080 gaming rgb best cooling max oced

please answer

[inland hound]

EVGA FTW3 Gaming

[finite compass]

NVIDIA QUADRO K2200 for $75, is that worth?

[inland hound]

For what?

What are you going to use it for?

[finite compass]

gaming

[inland hound]

No

Quadros are workstation cards

Not gaming cards

[finite compass]

oh, that explains the wierd name of it

[inland hound]

The name isn’t particularly weird but you aren’t going to be using a quadro for gaming except in some very exceptional situations

[finite compass]

how much is too much for a 1050ti?

[inland hound]

$50

How much do you have to spend?

[finite compass]

bro, im just tryna find a decent graphics card so i can stop using the ryzen 3 3200g apu

[tender mulch]

Freaking GameFrost told them to buy an HD7770 and they did

-_-

[inland hound]

I was here

[finite compass]

if it wasnt obvious i dont know enough

[inland hound]

I remember

[finite compass]

online benchmark test said it was better

[tender mulch]

Not your fault

[inland hound]

Not at all

[finite compass]

maybe it is, i probably should have looked more into it

[tender mulch]

They're all going to be within 1-2% of each other so at this point, pick one you can get

[astral ginkgo]

are you sure

[finite compass]

but im just still looking for a graphics card thats better then the APU and not over priced, so i can upgrade to the ryzen 5 3600

[inland hound]

What kind of budget do you have?

[finite compass]

honestly, i can save up for a bit if i need to, if i was able to get my hands on one i would even go for the 3070 or 3060TI

[astral ginkgo]

evga 30 series are ugly

[inland hound]

A 3060Ti is good

[finite compass]

yeah, but getting my hands on one is the issue

[inland hound]

If you can try and get one of those at MSRP, definitely get it

[astral ginkgo]

but are the best

[finite compass]

yeah, thats the thing though, i just want a decent gpu for now, till i can get my hands on a 30 series one

[astral ginkgo]

is it the right card right https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=10G-P5-3895-KR

[inland hound]

You could try and get a 980 or something

[finite compass]

is a 980 better then my apu?

[inland hound]

Just to replace your 2200g

[inland hound]

Yeah

[tender mulch]

Actually, a 980TI is s decent option

[inland hound]

Just so you can wait for a 3080 or something like that

[finite compass]

wtf is that url

way too spammy

[tender mulch]

Uh

That's literally just a fan

[inland hound]

You can cut urls

[tender mulch]

No GPU lol

[inland hound]

What was it

[tender mulch]

for MSI GTX980Ti GAMING 6G graphics card fan with Heat sink（ No graphics card）

[finite compass]

it is lol

should probably read better

[inland hound]

How much does a used 980Ti go for nowadays?

[tender mulch]

IDK

[inland hound]

$100?

That’s the most I would buy it for

[finite compass]

its on newegg for only $820, whata steal

gonna put my life savings into a fricking 980ti

[inland hound]

A 980Ti?

For $820???

Christ

[finite compass]

i mean, it does have free shipping

[tender mulch]

HOLY CRAP

These 980TI prices on Ebay

$300-$500

no

[finite compass]

well, i found one for $280

[tender mulch]

no

[finite compass]

sure love that this is when i was able to get into pc gaming

[inland hound]

The drought has spread all the way to 900 series

What was the architecture name?

Pascal?

[tender mulch]

unfreaking real

[tulip prairie]

is running like a steady 72 ish (Celsius) temps healthy?

[tender mulch]

under load?

It's fine

[inland hound]

That’s average

When you get to the high 80s and above is when you should be scared

[finite compass]

wait does "GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB GDDR5 (for parts or repair) includes SLi and PCie covers" mean its a 980TI or just parts of it?

[inland hound]

And even then, that’s not going to hurt your GPU

[tulip prairie]

ight good

2nd question

[lavish otter]

Usually means a broken gpu Foo

[tender mulch]

For parts only means it doesn't work

Welp, absolutely RIP used GPU market now if 980TI's are going for $300++

[lone pond]

Yes

Hmm

Mining gpu

[tulip prairie]

What are some good case fans? Im looking at the noctua ones, but they just dont look appealing to the eye. Anyone know some like white/black (RGB if possible) quiet ish case fans?

[tender mulch]

Arctic P12 for non-RGB

[inland hound]

Noctua makes some of the best fans

[finite compass]

GTX760 better then 3200g apu?

[tender mulch]

No

[finite compass]

damn]

[lone pond]

No

[inland hound]

You could just get some RGB strips for their fans

[tulip prairie]

yeah but I dont really like the look of them yk

[inland hound]

Performance > looks

[lone pond]

Mining r9 290 vs um 1060

[inland hound]

There are some great RGB fans out there but no one outperforms Noctua

[lone pond]

11k rpm fan

[finite compass]

gtx 660TI for $55

[lone pond]

No

[finite compass]

DAMN IT

[tender mulch]

neither are worth the electricity

[lone pond]

No

A used mining r9 290

Or a 1060

[inland hound]

Neither would make back electricity costs, I don’t think

[tender mulch]

1060 provided it's the 6GB model

[lone pond]

Hmm

The 3gb ones are the only ones sub 150$

[inland hound]

Eth mining on my 3070 used 5.5 gigs of VRAM

[finite compass]

gigabyte 1030 for $75????

[lone pond]

Im not mining

[lone pond]

Noooo

[tender mulch]

They aren't asking about mining

[finite compass]

is that over priced?

[tender mulch]

Asking about buying a card formerly used for mining

[tender mulch]

Your iGPU is better

[lone pond]

Its not a gaming gpu

[inland hound]

Oh

Nevermind

[lone pond]

Yep

[finite compass]

so im gussing i want an X060 or better

[lone pond]

Eh

I see some cheap r9 280x

Like 60$

[inland hound]

Wait, Asawa, how much did you say a 1060 3gb was going for?

[finite compass]

yall, rtx 3070 picture for only $500

[lone pond]

120

[lone pond]

That's a steal

[inland hound]

$120 for that might be worth it, foomongus

[lone pond]

I had only 96$

So

Um

[inland hound]

Mind linking the 1060?

For Foo?

[finite compass]

someone say 1060?

[lone pond]

Ebay

1060

Lots of them

[finite compass]

how much is too much for a 1060?

[inland hound]

1060 better than a 2200g

[inland hound]

Ehhh

Don’t pay too much

[lone pond]

Not 200$

[inland hound]

Yeah

[finite compass]

is $100 too much?

[lone pond]

No

[inland hound]

No

[lone pond]

100$ to 150

[finite compass]

this is $96 + $15 shipping

[tender mulch]

link

[finite compass]

nvr mnd, its a bid

[finite compass]

nvidia tesla c1060????

[tender mulch]

[lone pond]

No

No

[finite compass]

ok

i thouhgt that was wierd

[tender mulch]

Workstation card

[lone pond]

Yep

Not for gaming

And it does matter

[tender mulch]

For parts only

[inland hound]

Tesla’s are used in workstations and compute centers

[tender mulch]

GOtta read the description

[finite compass]

frick

[lone pond]

I mean

[finite compass]

i just want a gpu

[lone pond]

R9 280x are going cheap

60$

[finite compass]

are they better then 3200g apu?

[tender mulch]

OH yeah

They're power hungry tho

what size is your power supply?

[lone pond]

Ya

[finite compass]

i have a 500w 80+ bronze

[lone pond]

Shuld be enough

[tender mulch]

Brand and model pls

[inland hound]

280x really eat that much power?

[lone pond]

Amd

Was scared

[finite compass]

this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-R9-280x/184672055055?hash=item2aff4fef0f:g:4toAAOSw65lgMBA~

[tender mulch]

AMD recommended a 550W PSU lol

[lone pond]

Yes

[finite compass]

so this is worth it?

[tender mulch]

What brand and model of power supply?

[lone pond]

I have a cxm 450

[tender mulch]

If it's an Aresgame, that's a no

[finite compass]

evga, and idk what you mean by model

[tender mulch]

BQ, W1, W3, N1 etc

BR, BA

There's a reason I'm asking

[lone pond]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yrBsBc

Is this fine

[tender mulch]

CXM is borderline especially at 450W

[lone pond]

I know

[tender mulch]

CX is higher quality than CXM

[lone pond]

why r5 2600 while i5 10400 is same price 🤔

build from 2018

oh nevermind xd

Yes

I broke my rx 580

So I got a r9 290

seagate hdds are not recommended here xd

[finite compass]

BR i believe

[tender mulch]

Ok, I'm comfortable with that

[lone pond]

I got it free

[tender mulch]

Carry on

[finite compass]

so... should i get that GPU then?

[tender mulch]

That's because Seagate drives fail a lot lol

[lone pond]

then its best hdd xd

[tender mulch]

It's an auction so, good luck on it!

[finite compass]

damn it, didnt notice that

[lone pond]

From my dad's media server where were in raid and crashed

[finite compass]

inno3D gtx 1060 for $50

[tender mulch]

Nah

read the shipping

$340

I saw that one lol

[finite compass]

oih

wtf

[lone pond]

To make someone buy

Then pay alot for shipping

[finite compass]

i thought shipping was priced by ebay, not the seller

[lone pond]

You can

But you can price yourself

Foo

R9 280x

[tender mulch]

Yes, you can price it yourself

[lone pond]

Seems like your best bet

[finite compass]

zotac geforce gtx 1060 for $135?

[tender mulch]

3 GB model?

[finite compass]

yeah

[tender mulch]

Faster than a 280

[lone pond]

there was 1650s for 150-160 few months ago

Yep

[tender mulch]

More than I'd pay for one

But it'll do the job

[lone pond]

Or a fury

[tulip prairie]

me who got mine for free 💪 😤

[finite compass]

so, should i get it though?

[lone pond]

Of u can find it for 150$

[finite compass]

its only $135 with free shipping

[tender mulch]

Seems like your best bet at this point

[lone pond]

Yep

Also can I borrow some money

Like 50 cents

[finite compass]

i have some in my saving, i can just take the money out of my next check and put it back into the savings

[lone pond]

( btw I'm jk )

No no no

Jk

[finite compass]

not for you

you get no money

[lone pond]

Oké

[thin bridge]

I have a rtx 3080 and an intel i7 9700k is my cpu bottlenecking my potential at all?

[inland hound]

Not really

What resolution?

@thin bridge

[thin bridge]

1080

[inland hound]

Oh

Yeah it will

[thin bridge]

1440 prob

res matters?

[inland hound]

CPU has a big role in lower resolutions like 1080p

[finite compass]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[inland hound]

But why do you have a 3080 for 1080p?

[thin bridge]

trying to stream eft

[finite compass]

its not letting me buy it

[thin bridge]

not very optimized

[finite compass]

"One or more sellers can't accept payments right now. Contact the sellers for help."

[inland hound]

Rip

[tender mulch]

RIP

[rapid imp]

Question: if the 3080 is a 4K video card, does it mean the 3090 is an 8K video card, or a 4K video card at max settings?

[inland hound]

4K at max settings

Both are 4K at max settings

[rapid imp]

What's wrong with your "n"?

So what's the gain for 3090 and its pricepoint?

[inland hound]

3090 only has 10% better performance at 4K than 3080

[inland hound]

Workstation stuff

24 gigs of VRAM

[rapid imp]

So it's a professional card.

[inland hound]

Damn keyboard messing up

Stupid iPhone 6

[finite compass]

well.... is this one ok priced? https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-1060-Gaming-3gb-Video-Card/223088795211?epid=8032167271&hash=item33f120de4b%3Ag%3AVy4AAOSwStdbByMB&LH_BIN=1

[rapid imp]

I have the same model.

[tender mulch]

IMO, not for $200

[inland hound]

Technically this is a 6s but still

[tender mulch]

maybe if it was a 6GB card

[lone pond]

Hm

[finite compass]

is $100 for a 980TI too much?

[lone pond]

No

No

Good

[finite compass]

so... worth?

[lone pond]

That's like a 1070

But more power

[tender mulch]

For $100?

[lone pond]

Ya

[finite compass]

oh.... wait "it turns on but only display black screen and turns off after a little bit. I have no clue what its worth so give me a offer."

[tender mulch]

Ye

I was gonna say

seems too cheap to be true

[lone pond]

Yep

[finite compass]

1050ti for $170

[lone pond]

Want a 980

For 150

[lone pond]

That's worse than a 1060

By alot

[coarse spindle]

Good idea/bad idea: buying a 560 for 70$ and throwing it in an aliexpress ryzen system to flip

[finite oak]

What would be a good gpu this case

https://www.newegg.com/p/2AM-000Z-00050

[finite compass]

anyone here have an extra 1060 they willing to sell?

[finite compass]

ok, bids on this are really slow, and low, if anyone wants to bid on it, should do it now

[jagged sequoia]

Rule 9

[tender mulch]

They aren't selling

Just posting a decent card

[elfin parrot]

What was the msrp for a 1070 Ti strix?

[tender mulch]

$449 or there abouts

mebbe 500

[elfin parrot]

Anyone know how much that gpu would be worth right now?

Not my pc

[tender mulch]

Check Ebay

Prices are all over the place

My RTX 2060 went for $150 over MSRP

[rare hull]

I have a question , do people make money over scamming scalper bots with gpu and ps5 pictures ? I’m not going to do it by the way lol I dont want my eBay or PayPal accounts suspended or banned

[tender mulch]

No idea what happens with those. Most likely the Ebay account that posted it gets removed from Ebay

People report those

[rare hull]

Ohhh

That’s sketchy af

[tender mulch]

ye

[silver flare]

Anyone actually got a 30 series card?

[rapid imp]

Some of us do. I don't.

[silver flare]

Me either

[inland hound]

I got a 3070

[silver flare]

for msrp?

[inland hound]

I won’t pay scalpers

I refuse

So yes

[silver flare]

what card did you upgrade from?

I have a 1660 super but i want a 3060ti or 3070

[inland hound]

5700 XT

Which I sold for $700

[lone pond]

3070 vision

[inland hound]

Yep

Same

The white one

[lone pond]

thanks newgg shuffle

[inland hound]

Agreed

Performs better than I thought it would

[lone pond]

yeah

[silver flare]

Do newegg deliver worldwide?

[inland hound]

I have to keep fans up to 75-80 constantly though

[rapid imp]

Didn't you begrudge on Gigabyte for bad thermals, Komm?

[lone pond]

you can use ex cargo companies which have wirehouse in us lol

[inland hound]

Yeah

But it was the only 3070 I had a chance to buy

And call me Sara, please

[rapid imp]

I can barely read Katakana, so I didn't know what to call you.

[lone pond]

3070vision is great

[inland hound]

Hiragana

I can write my name in hiragana so I do

[lone pond]

its much more expensive than FE but it's nice

[inland hound]

Plus I don’t know katakana either

[lone pond]

[inland hound]

I was able to sell the PSU included with it for $150

[rapid imp]

No, that's katakana.

さら would be "Sara" in hiragana.

[lone pond]

yeah I did same lmao

[inland hound]

You sure?

Wait..

[rapid imp]

I can recognize the symbols at least.

[inland hound]

Dammit I got the shape of them confused again

[rapid imp]

Hiragana tends to be very curved.

[inland hound]

I’m only in first year Japanese

So

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rapid imp]

You're welcome.

[inland hound]

Yeah, thanks

I done recognized them wrongly

[lone pond]

that psu in combo was tier b so I sold it xd

[inland hound]

The caps explode

OCP is set way too high

[lone pond]

the person who I sold it is happy with it

[tall flower]

what a cpu with a 3070

[toxic sinew]

What

If you are asking a good CPU to pair, Ryzen 5 5600, Ryzen 7 5800X, 10700K are all good priced, good performance CPUs. (If you are able to get a Ryzen 5000)

[tall flower]

thanks

[lone pond]

I paired my 3070 with 10600k and it's pretty enough

actually planning get 10700 soon 🤔

[karmic crag]

10700k or f?

[dawn notch]

hi

i need a gpu

[silver flare]

what is your budget

[dawn notch]

heres my requierments

200-600$ cad
-pair well with r5 3600 with no bottle necks
-1080p-1440p gaming

[silver flare]

I have a 1660 super paired with a r5 3600 and it gives me good fps in 1080p

[dawn notch]

-in stock

[toxic sinew]

RTX 3060 if you are able to get one when they come out.

[dawn notch]

alright

[silver flare]

3060 i agree

[toxic sinew]

You will not be able to find a good GPU for the price in stock currently.

[dawn notch]

yep

[toxic sinew]

Your best bet is to wait currently

[dawn notch]

what about a 2060 super?

[toxic sinew]

What price?

[rapid imp]

I hope things settle down for the summer that they can be easily acquired, unless the tarrifs will remain by then.

[dawn notch]

i dont need it now this is a long term thing

ram and gpus are so $$$ rn thats y im holding off on buying them

[silver flare]

Take Cody's advice and wait for a 3060

thats the best bet

[dawn notch]

alright

[karmic crag]

comes out on the 25th

[lone pond]

just 10700 itself lol

[dawn notch]

when?

[silver flare]

25th feb

[toxic sinew]

Save up for a 10700K

[karmic crag]

ah okay

good chip

[toxic sinew]

You can get 10700Ks on sale for near $300 sometimes

It's worth the money to save up

[lone pond]

k is unlocked but I don't overclock

[karmic crag]

so why did you get the 10600k

[toxic sinew]

that does not matter

its still worth it for the clocks

[karmic crag]

does the 10700k have a higher base clock than the 10700?

[toxic sinew]

Way higher

[karmic crag]

oh wow

[toxic sinew]

If you can find a 10700k on sale for $300 its way worth saving the little money for the K

[lone pond]

I get it when it was 270$ damn lol

[karmic crag]

oh ok

[lone pond]

their prices were high when I get it

now intel reduced prices 🤔

thanks amd lol

lol I realized I actually still can return 10600k 🤔

[tender mulch]

I got a 10600K and Z490 combo from wegg for $375

[lone pond]

oh wow

newegg having good deals most times

I paid 260$ for 10600k and 200$ for asus tuf z490 wifi

now 10700 is about 270-280 and it's better than 10600k anyways 🤔

[tender mulch]

yeah, it was an Asus Z490 Prime

[lone pond]

if I get good deal like that I can buy 10700k combo and sell my 9700k lol

[tender mulch]

Might still be going on

Check Newegg Combos

[lone pond]

let me check

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4222794&quicklink=true this looks good actually

[tender mulch]

HUh

Not bad

[lone pond]

non wifi mobo but ok mobo 🤔

[tender mulch]

I can add a WiFi m.2 to the Prime

Probs can with that also

Like, $26

[inland hound]

Y’all talking about CPUs in the GPU channel

[toxic sinew]

❤️

[tender mulch]

[lone pond]

lol

[elfin parrot]

yo chill we all nerd here

[lone pond]

my both m2 slots are busy lol

[tender mulch]

Nah

has a separate one just for WiFi

it's a different key

[lone pond]

huh

[tender mulch]

IDK if that one does, I'll check

The Prime does I know that for sure

[toxic sinew]

Or get a PCIe WiFi card

USB also

[tender mulch]

it does

[lone pond]

I just saw z590 one 😳

[tender mulch]

"M.2 slot only (Key E) (Support CNVI & PCIe interface)*
*Wi-Fi module is sold separately."

[lone pond]

oh nice

I just realized z590 came out already lol

[tender mulch]

B560 is here too

Full speed ram support even for I5/i3 10th gens

[lone pond]

finally

intel catching up ig lol

Eh

[toxic sinew]

Depends on application and use case

Single core vs multi core is important also

[lone pond]

wow b560 even supports ram speed overclock

finally intel solved that problem lol

[toxic sinew]

AMD CPUs generally have better price to performance and better for multitasking

[lone pond]

yeah it was

[rapid imp]

?

[toxic sinew]

All AMD CPUs can OC and B550 and X570 boards can OC

But they dont OC as much as Intel CPUs

[lone pond]

yeah intel needs Z series mobo for overclock rams

[tender mulch]

Intel doesn't rely on ram speed like AMD does tho

[lone pond]

but actually intel is not that ram speed hungry

3200mhz still great with 10600k

[toxic sinew]

People will always argue Intel vs AMD just like PS4 vs Xbox, but they both have their use cases

[karmic crag]

amd chips love fast, dual channel ram

intel, not as much

[lone pond]

yep

I like intels 9700k trick . pure 8core . perfect for gaming xd

[peak moth]

https://medal.tv/clips/44679244/d1337rXb8QSP

does anyone know why my fps are dropping so hard

i was playing on high settings earlier and i had like 100 fps

now i started the game again and its not going above 70 in medium

[lone pond]

temps 🤔

[peak moth]

idk

[lone pond]

get some monitoring app and check temps . overheat can couse that🤔

Temps, Drivers, Software issues

[peak moth]

the weird thing is it happened out of nowhere

i would play for like 3h

on high settings

and no fps drops

[halcyon basin]

how much are 2060 Dell OEMs worth

[peak moth]

ok i restarted the pc and it fixed itself...

[gritty notch]

same as a normal 2060

unless ur the one selling it

in that case its worth $3 but ill give u $5 for it
