or a rx550

[green harness]

Doesn't that cost a bunch more?

[dawn plover]

yeah but at least you can play with either of them

and it's <100 bucks generally

[green harness]

See I'm looking at minimum cost to output to a display

[dawn plover]

ahhh

[green harness]

Although that is like $12 more than I paid for one, so value is worse than it used to be even on a 710

Real answer: anything that fit that description so far today has already been sold out and your question is also not specific enough about what you want and what your budget is

Intel Core i5-9600K Coffee Lake CPU, GIGABYTE C246-WU4 LGA 1151 (300 Series), G.SKILL Aegis 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) I need recomandations for a video card please? I'm not super techy and my budget is $500... can anyone help??

[agile hearth]

yeah, if you can find one.. a 3060ti will be found under $500

[coarse spindle]

3060ti is really the only viable option and you have to hunt it down

[green harness]

A near msrp 3060 is kinda ok, but not great value

[coarse spindle]

really wish AMD would hurry up

[green harness]

A 6700xt might be a good option if you don't care about ray tracing, DLSS, and NVENC, but we are waiting for reviews to come out on March 17th

[coarse spindle]

true

gotta love that AMD horsepower but just doesn't have some creature comforts

on the low-mid range a dumb ox would be amazing

[fading valley]

Anyone know any third party 3089 with a similar cooling design to the founders. My cpu from a review of my cpu cooler it says it goes really well with it

[coarse spindle]

your CPU cooler would look nice with a FE?

wich one?

[real yoke]

I play eve online with dual monitors if that helps

[coarse spindle]

3060ti is best anyway

[real yoke]

I don't know what any of that means boss, I'm a 'dummy" with this stuff

[coarse spindle]

even used holds no candle

[real yoke]

NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3060 TI this one guys??

[coarse spindle]

yep

[real yoke]

👍

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 EAGLE 12G Graphics Card is this "better?"

[wicked hound]

unless you do content creation limited by VRAM, it's worse

[static zinc]

@real yoke ti model is much better

[real yoke]

thanks, I'll wait till it is back in stock, I thanks you all 😃

[green harness]

You might want to look them up. I can't say that I am well-enough versed in it to really explain them all well. Ray tracing is a way of rendering light that nvidia cards are better equipped for right now, NVENC is only relevant if you stream from what I understand, and dlss can get you better fps when playing at a high resolution by changing how the image is rendered

If I am wrong about any of those features or explained them poorly anyone please correct me

[real yoke]

👍 👍

[glacial kelp]

I have decided 😄 I am going to wait (and pray) for the big crash of bitcoin, so prices go way down for video cards cause people will get desperate to offload their videocards :)) Hopefully the EU will bring into law the promised bitcoin regulation from autumn too :))

It's absurd how much prices have gone up.

[jagged sequoia]

whatever it takes to make the wait bearable

[glacial kelp]

It will take a long summer :)) And mountains and outdoors. Luckily it's the season when I barely touch the PC beside work.

But ef those prices.

[livid idol]

There will probably be a few miners bailing out when Bitcoin crashes but the smart ones will move to other currencies.

[stoic current]

I’ve had all the parts i need for my new pc for a few months now, i’ve been trying to get a 3060 ti or a 3070 for a long time but the problem is the ancient laptop i’m using rn takes ages to reload pages. what’s the cheapest gpu i can get to make my pc functional (and run fast enough to actually be practical)? used or new

i’m not going to be playing games

[green harness]

Something like a used GT 710

Should be able to get one for $30-$45

[livid idol]

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-128-bit-DirectX-2GD3V3/dp/B015DROZM8

If you really just need something a GT730 will do the trick for $50

[green harness]

May as well buy it used though for $44

It's a placeholder card, so why not save a bit more?

[haughty glacier]

a 10100f won't bottleneck a 1070 right?

[livid idol]

Depends on what you're playing

[haughty glacier]

prob more on multiplayer/competitives so ig yea 10400f is better

idk i'll prob go 10100f for mow and then go for a better one later

[livid idol]

That works
Games like CS:GO are certainly more CPU limited

[stray furnace]

a

[late ferry]

is MSI GEFORCE RTX 3080 SUPRIM X 10GB 320-BIT GDDR6X a good GPU?

[stray furnace]

yes

[livid idol]

Definitely

[stray furnace]

very good

if you have the psu for it

[late ferry]

yeah im getting either a 850w psu or 1000w

[stray furnace]

yeah that’ll work

[livid idol]

A tier 850 will do just fine

[warped osprey]

are there any good gpus in stock?

[haughty glacier]

rn, ig no. find a gpu bencmark in youtube like gamer's nexus, jtc, hardware unboxed, and such to see if those fit with how "good" that gpu is

then find one on stock or wait for its restock

[warped osprey]

this stocking problem sucks

[sacred crow]

Yes it does

luckily was able to snag a 3080 fe earlier this month so no more hunting

[lone pond]

NICE

[spare ember]

is it just me or is the zotac 3080 ugly asf😭

[lone pond]

nah

https://tenor.com/view/zotac-wasabiwang-3080-rtx-rtx3080-gif-18908612

Bow to ZOTAC.

Its how to get a GPU

[haughty glacier]

zotac is lit. just like what happened to some of their gpus

[lone pond]

Yeah did you hear about the melted thermal pads?

[haughty glacier]

yep

in the other server, one of the members had to rma their zotac 3070/80 coz the small part that goes in the pcie slot burned

another person had the same exact issue lol

[glacial kelp]

Money laundering and virtual currency makes for great payment of illicit goods/services

[glacial kelp]

I used to use Epassporte for many years. Until they shut it down. If they do with bitcoin the same, 3090 will cost 100 bucks 😛

Wishful thinking

Epassporte was used for money laundering, illegal gambling, etc. Everything that was bad.

And they shut it down in 1 day. 😄

Anyone doing dealings on the dark web doesn't use their real country's IP anyway, or at least not the smart ones

[gritty notch]

its super easy to just block vpn ip addresses

like what china does

i had to get a clean ip to make the vpn for my wife lol

[heady turtle]

Ahh yes 1/15 msrp XD

[glacial kelp]

Yes, but if they block any real life usage of crypto currencies unless heavy regulated, you technically have 21931 nothing in an account.

Cause you can't spend it on anything.

And what day?

[tender mulch]

Every two weeks. Should be a restock next week

[karmic crag]

hopefully tues.

but no one knows

[hollow dawn]

Yeah people keep saying every 1 or 2 weeks but it will be better if I can get an exact day cuz the fly in 10 seconds

Thanks anyways

[tender mulch]

There is no info on exact days

Sometimes it's Tuesday, last week was THursday for the 3060 launch, it's also been Friday a couple times recently

if you list that 2080s on ebay i'll buy it frame one

[shadow schooner]

I’m looking for a 30 series card I’m thinking about getting 3060ti, 3070, or 3060. Which one is the best price wise? I also enjoy having a lot of VRAM seeing that I have 2 144hz monitors

[tender mulch]

3060TI

VRAM doesn't matter for how many monitors you have

Only what resolution

[lone pond]

^

4K will use more vram then 1920x1080

thats why you see even 3070s struggling to run games at 4k sometimes, but 3090s atleast doing somewhat okay.

[sonic mural]

And cuz 3090 has more power than a 3070

[tender mulch]

GDDR6X bandwidth

It's why the 3080 does fine with 10 gigs

AMD still using GDDR6

[lone pond]

That makes actually plenty of sense

GDDR6x>GDDR6 for bandwith i think

with error checking

Whoops.

My bad

[unkempt robin]

But no 3080s. That 3090 is like $2100 which is ridiculous, and some of those 3070s are basically $800 which is 3080 money, so no thanks on those

I'm in for the 5900x though!

[tender mulch]

3080's are $1000 or more now too

THe only MSRP one is the FE

And that's only at Best Buy

[low ridge]

is the asus rog strix 3060 ti good?

or should I just buy the 3070 version

[unkempt robin]

Several 3080's are still sub-$1000. ASUS Strix is $929, EVGA Ultra Gaming is $839, Gigabyte Gaming OC is $839, PNY has a card at $799 etc etc

With that, in my mind - $800 is a bad price for a 3070. But, totally understand - it's a seller's market and buyers will do well to take whatever they can get.

[karmic crag]

3060ti

[tender mulch]

Tariffs and demand, unfortunately. For some reason I had it in my head that 3080 was 799 MSRP, it's not. It's $699

[static zinc]

I only see the 3080 strix OC edition listed on asus site now, did they stop producing the non-OC $929 model?

[quaint wadi]

i hate the us government

[unkempt robin]

For sure, but I'm not paying $800 for a 3070 on newegg 🙂 - and as a benefit of that, someone else here has less competition for it

[tender mulch]

I don't blame you

I got mine for $559 before everything went to poo

[unkempt robin]

id pay that!

[tender mulch]

Got it Jan 5th before the increases

Extremely lucky

[unkempt robin]

that's awesome

[inland hound]

politics

[unkempt robin]

the market is nutso - im running an old 1080 FTW and I think I've seen 1070 SC's going for like $300 on ebay

that's a ridiculous price

but with that, I'd pay $800 for a 3080 if I can find one, and then recoup costs

[quaint wadi]

lmfoa

[tender mulch]

1080 still plenty capable TBH

better than the 3060 lol

[static zinc]

@quaint wadi just wait til they add cpus, fans, heatsinks, etc next

[turbid stream]

@tender mulch i found a 200 euros gtx 1650 oc

on my country

[fading valley]

@badger if you buy a 3080 you can definitely recoup the cost if you sell your 1080

[inland hound]

heh

[karmic crag]

right now i'm on int. graphics looking for a card, and i'm eyeing the 3060

everyone says it's awful value if you already have a good 1080p card, but i have nothing right now lol

[static zinc]

did u enter the shuffle? there is a $329 3060 in it

[karmic crag]

yes i did

at this point i'll take a 3060 or 3060ti

i'm only gaming in 1080p. i should be good right?

[unborn patio]

is it possible to overwork your graphics card leading to your pc display to shut off? i got an adapter so that i could hook up dual monitors, and after about 12 minutes both displays shut off , did i overwork my graphics card or did something else happen(i have an older graphics card 750 ti) this might be a stupid question but i’d just like to know what happened

[static zinc]

its fine for 1080p gaming but at that price its not a great value imo

i got one for a bit less but its used for video processing since its got 12gb vram

[karmic crag]

how much did you pay for it?

[static zinc]

318 before tax/shipping

i think 364 or something total

[karmic crag]

where did you find one used?

[static zinc]

its new

[karmic crag]

oh i misread your comment

how did you find one that low?

[static zinc]

got in the evga queue within the first minute of launch

then used promo code

[karmic crag]

oh nice

[static zinc]

pretty much if you sign up within an hour of lauch u will get one in a few days

mobo

[somber dew]

he guys so if i were to buy a gpu that recommends a 550w psu and i have a 500w psu would it be ok

[lone pond]

what gpu

[somber dew]

it was a 3060 ti 12gb i doubt ill get it in the shuffle tho

i was just wondering bc i dont wanna blow it up

[lone pond]

well motherboard is usually 100w

CPU depending can range to like 95 unless OC'd hard

or even more

550 should work depending on CPU and GPU

but might be better to get a 600w

rated decently on the LTT PSU tier list.

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/

A/B/C is meh

E is potientally dangerous

[somber dew]

so ig i gotta buy a new psu

[lone pond]

If you want to risk it.

You could always try to plug in the 500w first.

if no issues.

Like no shutdowns, then your good.

[dawn plover]

tbh segotep-gp is a good option

[somber dew]

ok i dont really care for OC cause all i play is rust, miencraft, and other stuff

[dawn plover]

600w, tier b, and about 52 bucks

[somber dew]

dang really

i thought they would be like 100

[dawn plover]

nahh

it does have mustard and ketchup cables but that's an easy fix with electrical tape

https://www.newegg.com/segotep-gp-series-600w-non-modular/p/1HU-00Z0-00008

[somber dew]

what i do with my 500 w

[lone pond]

I mean, if you really want to go through the work

I don't recommend it

but use both PSU's

[somber dew]

hu

[lone pond]

That way you wouldn't really have to worry about power.

[dawn plover]

what cpu do you have?

[lone pond]

One in the 24 Pin and motherboard

and the higher one with PCIE cables to the GPU

[cerulean plinth]

can anyone help me find a new power supply that has the same specs as my old one :l

[dawn plover]

sure

[somber dew]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gy3NQD

that what i have

[cerulean plinth]

My old power supply is Corsair CX600, Model 75-001668 and Part No. 9020048

[dawn plover]

yeah 600w should do

wouldn't recommend 500w

[somber dew]

alr do yk were i should sell my 500 w

[dawn plover]

idk

ebay, offerup, fb, etc

[somber dew]

ok thanks

[dawn plover]

how much are you willing to pay for a new psu?

[cerulean plinth]

literally any price, as long as it works for my pc

[lone pond]

What GPU?

[dawn plover]

what specs?

[lone pond]

imagine if we recommended people power supplies that were high capacity all the time lol.

You have a 1030? Get a 1000w PSU

[dawn plover]

lmao

[lone pond]

GT 710?

1500w Superflower Leadex plat

[dawn plover]

frick it i'll just recommend a server grade 3000w psu

if those things even exist

[thorn kestrel]

Would a 650 PSU work with a 3060?

[dawn plover]

fs

i bet a decent 550w would work

[lone pond]

Im sure they do

I know AC's have 3000w PSU's

[heady turtle]

intel integrated graphics 5x1000w

[lone pond]

Im sure they make em for huge servers.

[worthy lotus]

Hey I’m like. A moderately knowledgeable computer gaming enthusiast trying to coach and guide a friend on purchases for their machine. The biggest thing right now is they have NO graphics card to put in their build. Wants something RTX capable. Is there ANYTHING at all that’s like. A smart get now with all these abysmal shortages? I told them I do well enough on my RTX 2060 but when we looked them up they were like, 200 bucks more than new cards. Mind boggling.

[dawn plover]

same

[lone pond]

CPU?

[dawn plover]

tbh i think it's easier getting a 3000 series than previous cards

[lone pond]

This

Most likely because they are discontinued still iirc

meaning Turing stock is low, but they keep pumping out Ampere.

[dawn plover]

even used 1080ti's are like stupidly priced

[lone pond]

1030s are 100 bucks lmao

I bought mine for about 60-70 in 2018

[thorn kestrel]

Whats the recommended PSU for a 3060?

[lone pond]

Depends

3060ti uses 200w

Motherboard is like 100

cpu tdp adds up

and then i can tell you.

[worthy lotus]

A Ryzen 7

[dawn plover]

which one

[lone pond]

3700x?

3800x?

[dawn plover]

even then, a 600w should be fine

[lone pond]

Unless your running a motherboard that is insane

like a MSI Godlike

[dawn plover]

frick

[lone pond]

it should only be about 100 ish watts

[thorn kestrel]

I have a ryzen 5 3600x and im thinking of getting a 3060

[dawn plover]

a segotep-gp should be fine

[lone pond]

Oh, then 600w, 550-650 should work

[thorn kestrel]

Okay

[lone pond]

currently running a 3700x and a 3070 off an 850w. 3600x tdp is lower

as well as 3060

[worthy lotus]

See I was watching LTT and he’s like Hey the average build is good enough these days so I was like alright. We can revisit graphics card upgrades later once the thing RUNS. But no dice.

[lone pond]

200+ 95+100

about 495

So yeah, assuming your load isn't insane. That should be fine

a 550

[dawn plover]

i like to add 200w of headroom as well

[lone pond]

^

Thats why im using an 850w on a 3070 and 3700x lol

[dawn plover]

smh

didn't you get it on sale or sum

[lone pond]

yeah

100 bucks

steal.

Gold, RM850X V2 (Jap cap edition)

[thorn kestrel]

Im kind of scared of 650w burning out once i upgrade

[lone pond]

then get something with alot of headroom.

[dawn plover]

but not tooo much

[thorn kestrel]

Any recommendations?

[lone pond]

I have an 850w because i know, i plan to upgrade the CPU later.

[dawn plover]

750w amp

[lone pond]

and even if AM5 comes out, and still uses 24 pin

[thorn kestrel]

how much?

[lone pond]

then you can always reuse it.

[dawn plover]

100 bucks

[lone pond]

about 100-120

[thorn kestrel]

Ah okay

[tender mulch]

A new CPU socket doesn't change a motherboard power standard

wat are you even talking about

[lone pond]

Thats what i would think

[thorn kestrel]

oh

[lone pond]

he was afraid of burning out headroom.

for upgrading later down the line.

[tender mulch]

Which has NOTHING to do with a 24 pin power connector

can we talk about gpu names

heres an obscene one:

[lone pond]

lol

[honest dagger]

geforce rtx 3080 10gb AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE WB

[lone pond]

Because its water cooled

And marketing

"XTREME"

"MSI Gaming X Trio"

Not everyone uses it to game lol.

[honest dagger]

XTREME WATERBOARDING GAMING XTERRA SUPER ULTRA 8GB

gonna pitch that name to msi see what they thing

[stuck lynx]

at least they dont have whack number names like dell u12313w or acer x981712x12

[honest dagger]

oh god some companies couldnt name products for their lives

[worthy lotus]

So they just. Don’t.

[honest dagger]

technology company: hey we have this new monitor, its super fast and its got a super high resolution, what should we call it?

employee: Acer VG270bmiix sounds great!

thats an actual monitor

[stuck lynx]

manager: no you forgot the zqh2312 at the end

[honest dagger]

oh yes sorry about that

and have some made up words at the end

crap i cant think of made up words

[stuck lynx]

ooga booga speedpixel ultracolor

[worthy lotus]

Wait do we know when the next shuffle is gonna be?

Or is that a secrety secret

[worthy lotus]

Like. Just put brand name and specs as the name that’s all I need. This monitor? Oh this is the uuuuh LG24”144hz1440p, etc

Maybe throw a year at the end

[honest dagger]

yeah but theres more specifications

but mostly it makes sense

brand, res, hz, size, screen type, year

wait no thats too long

ok im gonna stop talking about monitors and about gpus instead

ideally i would get the MSI GeForce GTX 1660 6GB GAMING X Boost because its in my price range

and they were in stock

[spare relic]

Never again

[honest dagger]

nopee

and now on that site they were in stock on

there isnt even any gt 710s or some other garbage

[vital pivot]

Got this today from the last shuffle.

[honest dagger]

holy crap nice

[spare relic]

I'd like a 1650 Super

[heady turtle]

So jelly

[lone pond]

Same box but mine says 3070

[spare relic]

I found a 970 for 220 USD on eBay that came and went quickly

[vital pivot]

I have a 1070, 1660ti and a 680

[honest dagger]

lol

[vital pivot]

I should drop them on eBay

[honest dagger]

i would never buy a gpu on ebay lol

[vital pivot]

My entire family are gamers.

[lone pond]

ebay sketch

[honest dagger]

ye

[spare relic]

You should drop that 1660 on my eBay

[vital pivot]

Right now at my home we have a 3070, 2080ti, 1080ti and now a 3060

[thorn kestrel]

[honest dagger]

oh my god

[vital pivot]

Dang. I could make bank on all of that

[honest dagger]

yeah lmaoo

[lone pond]

What.

Are you running like 4 gaming pc's in the house lmao

[honest dagger]

powerbill 🆙

oh god i fell over earlier today and screwed up my elbow

[vital pivot]

It’s not bad. I’m the hardcore one

[honest dagger]

probably broke something but not gona go to a&e until tomorrow

[fossil talon]

Back in January, I had the 3080 Vision/Suprim, the 3070 Founders, the 3070 EVGA, and the 3060ti Ventus

[honest dagger]

i keep forgetting im injured and i keep moving it loads and i regret it deeply

[vital pivot]

I only really want a 3080 or 3080ti

[fossil talon]

I just want 3080ti now

[honest dagger]

yooo you sound like you have a job with disposable income

[vital pivot]

I got a evga 3060 Monday

@rnn I’m 50

[honest dagger]

i got intel UHD integrated graphics >:))

[fossil talon]

Ooh nice

[honest dagger]

thats alot of desposable income

[fossil talon]

I didn't make it during the 3060s release, my friends did though

I don't make money lol, I resell at MSRP+tax

[vital pivot]

I’ve been building gaming PCs since the early 90s

[fossil talon]

Ooooh nice

I should get into building more as a job maybe

[fossil talon]

I've only built 4 PCs, another 1 in 2 weeks.

[lone pond]

nice

[honest dagger]

still alot lol

[vital pivot]

I got the evga 3060 for my nephew. He needed an upgrade

[fossil talon]

Perfect

[lone pond]

lmao.

who ever had 3060

we twins

Its on mobo box because motherboard in for repairs

[fossil talon]

So you never put the temporary board back in the case....

[lone pond]

and im too lazy to put it in the case.

[fossil talon]

Lol

[lone pond]

Yep

LOL

[vital pivot]

I built 3 PCs during as Christmas presents since the people who had the hardware couldn’t

[lone pond]

I don't have a power button

[fossil talon]

Ehh Test bench is og

[lone pond]

I use PWR_SW to jump start

[lone pond]

Pwr buttons are for the weak.

[thorn kestrel]

probably

got his nephew a 3060. thats wholesome

[lone pond]

BRUH MY UNCLE FUNDED HALF OF MY PC

[fossil talon]

I was planning the same, but Ik many people couldn't afford a full PC. So I just resold GPUs and took them out of the hands of the scalpers

[vital pivot]

I don’t charge for it either

[fossil talon]

See that's the spirit we want

[vital pivot]

Yeah same here

[fossil talon]

Not these scalpers

[vital pivot]

I don’t do the scalper stuff.

[lone pond]

Scalper<Consumer

Consumer>Scalper.

[vital pivot]

I always gave away my old hardware

[glossy basalt]

Consumer=Consumer

scalper^scalper

[honest dagger]

normal human beings> people who treat crypto mining as a job

[vital pivot]

My wife built her first pc in dec

[lone pond]

Ive tried mining with my gpu

just to pay it off

[honest dagger]

lol

[lone pond]

3070 slowwwww

[fossil talon]

Speaking of crypto, some maniac is selling a 15x 3070 mining rig. Was so triggered

[lone pond]

Maybe not doing it right

[vital pivot]

Anyone want to see it

[honest dagger]

its actually really really bad for the environment

sure

[fossil talon]

Sure

[glossy basalt]

was getting an i7 9700k over a ryzen 7 3700x a good choice

[fossil talon]

The more the merrier

[honest dagger]

its also a massive waste of rare metals

[vital pivot]

I’m on IOS. have to restart to access pics.

[honest dagger]

ooh lets talk about imacs being s scam

[lone pond]

at this point everything is lol

Breathing is.

[glossy basalt]

Imacs are scam

[lone pond]

Walking is because we are wearing shoes we throw out

[fossil talon]

The new macbook is compelling though

[honest dagger]

16gb of ram for two hundred pounds

[lone pond]

[glossy basalt]

liek i have 32 gig kit I got for $97

[fossil talon]

laptop ram can be stupidly expensive

[honest dagger]

ye

[glossy basalt]

thing is its dual channel 😦

[fossil talon]

Still cheaper than my PC ram though

[lone pond]

???

[fossil talon]

Both my laptop/PC running 32gb

[lone pond]

Dual channel?

What.

[glossy basalt]

my pc is running dual channel

[lone pond]

I saw that in #pets

[fossil talon]

OH KITTY

sorry

[honest dagger]

oh wow thats awesome

[lone pond]

Kat good

[fossil talon]

Oooh its another Vision card

[lone pond]

I have kat too

[glossy basalt]

I have a birb

[lone pond]

Kat or 3070

[vital pivot]

I thought I had a better pix. Sorry

[glossy basalt]

3070

[lone pond]

smh

[glossy basalt]

i would take 3070 over kat

[lone pond]

Just home kat

[fossil talon]

Serotonin though

[lone pond]

Just foster cats

[fossil talon]

Gotta cured depression

[lone pond]

then shelter gives you 3070 as payment

SMH

[vital pivot]

I have 3 cats and a dog

[glossy basalt]

I have a birb who loves me and that is all I need

[fossil talon]

Oh you managed to get an EK AIO, its so hard to ship them in Canada

[vital pivot]

I have the ek 240 also

[fossil talon]

Nice

[glossy basalt]

I have a coolermaster AIO cooler for my i7 9700k

[lone pond]

been wanting to get an 280mm

[fossil talon]

I've been trying to get an EK one at a reasonable price, its too expensive rn. I'll wait

[honest dagger]

yeah ok bitcoin mining uses more energy than ireland

like dozens of terrawatts per year

[lone pond]

Bitcoin uses ASICS though now

[glossy basalt]

I want a better gpu because bottleneck and I just want better prformance

[honest dagger]

elon musk: cars good for environment mmm
also elon: these precious rare metals are mined by slaves
also elon: bitcoin is the future!!!!

yeah the creator of ethereum said that mining crypto is a hyge waste of materials and energy

[lone pond]

everything is bad for the earth smh

we'll die out in 2100 anyway.

[honest dagger]

yeah but when the creator of the second biggest crypto its a problem its probably a problem

[stuck lynx]

big brain move

turn off ireland and mine 2x the bitcoin

[glacial kelp]

Another reason to regulate crypto. Pollution 😂

[gritty notch]

yeah lol

is ez

[turbid stream]

hi i have a question, is it better to camp a microcenter for a gpu or in online

[round crown]

both

[honest dagger]

theft!

[livid idol]

They did that already in my area though, now none of the stores will stock anything valuable after all the looting

The local big parts store got looted and they did $3 million worth of damage and had to close the store, now the other branch won't even get more stock of fans and they sell 95% of stuff online only

[tender mulch]

That sucks.

[livid idol]

At least Best Buy is starting to relax a bit here, I've seen them have CPUs in stock

[karmic crag]

nice. how much did it end up costing?

[gritty notch]

it cost me nothing lol

[karmic crag]

oh alright

noted

[stuck lynx]

https://www.twitch.tv/teamevga
theyre at 930 viewers will be giving away a 3060 at 1k

[prime niche]

Will there be a rtx 3050 Ti

[green harness]

We don't know. There might be

[rare hull]

Even if they make one

Miners and silicon chip shortage = we are screwed

[trail rivet]

2060 super

[rare hull]

Radeon 5770 😎😎

[livid idol]

I've still got one of those lol

[rare hull]

On a system with 2tb of m.2 storage , ryzen 5 3600 , 32 gigs of ram and a 240mm AIO

Yeah

I’m sad

[lone pond]

good for the economy

Materials are the only problem really

[livid idol]

Good for the dark web economy too

[lone pond]

Alot of the large crypto farms i see in the US usually use windmills

Those windmills power the nearby towns & they get the leftover power from the windmills

As for ethereum mining

the only thing bad about it is power

sucks 90HX doesn't have a display port

only CMP card i think would be worth it to run games on later in future

now that specs got leaked

[livid idol]

That never stopped people from gaming on it before

[gritty notch]

i might buy a bunch for cuda if theyll work for that

when mining dies

[coarse spindle]

Hehe yea

What is with the core 2 quad

The name makes me annoyed

[lone pond]

Leaks said something along the lines that they're apparently a 3080 chip that didn't make binning process

[gritty notch]

core 2 series but quad core

[wicked hound]

tbf just mine for 2yrs until next mining boom

[coarse spindle]

I know

I have like a million of them in stacks

But why in unholy hell would they name them core 2 quad

The name is intentionally confusing

Btw @gritty notch have any experience with 775 overclocking

[iron lion]

im considering buying some old nvidia k40s to render and mine on, anyone know what I could be looking at hashrate wise?

[livid idol]

The K80 is supposed to do up to 15 MH/s, and general consensus is that the K40 isn't worth it

[coarse spindle]

Someone is going to go for a massacre because i said this but i like the quaddro fx4800

[lone pond]

Ethereum going proof of stake this year or Q1 2022

so no more mining ethereum

ravencoin might just crash so if that crashes mining in general with GPUs is just gone

[gritty notch]

i hope gpu mining dies

[coarse spindle]

The fx rig has been mining for so long

And by fx rig i mean fx CPU and fx GPU

Overclocked the snot out of it and deployed it in the cabin

[gritty notch]

k40 useless for the most part

[lone pond]

nah its good for market

When ethereum goes proof of stake GPUs flood used market

[gritty notch]

its good for used market but not where theres a shortage anyways

[lone pond]

i mean a 30 series card below MSRP only used for a year is a pretty good deal

iirc according to nvidia mining was only 6% of sales

towards large mining farms that is

probably another like 10% towards small miners

[lavish otter]

Mining is always a god send for the used market, because it gets flooded with 'cheap' cards that generally still have a fair bit of life in them. The flood after the bitcoin crash is why Nvidia didn't sell as many 2000 series cards, 'cause the pretty comparable 1000 series cards were just available in such high quantity at lower prices in the used market

'S why they are trying to get in on the mining market with their displayless cards. Sell the one-use-and-toss cards so that not as many 3000 series cards can flood the used market when the crypto-crash comes, so they can sell as many 4000 series or whatever series cards they come out with next

[lone pond]

thats actually the best argument i've heard towards CMP

damn

[kind shale]

why is there a gpu section here? there isn't any here nor will there ever be

[livid idol]

Yep that makes a bunch of sense, and accounts for companies only caring about bottom line

[normal wharf]

Is a zotac 3090 even worth it?

[livid idol]

3090 in general isn't worth it, unless you really need extra oomph for rendering or similar tasks

[normal wharf]

If only I could actually find a 3080 lmao

[livid idol]

Twice the price for 10-15% increase in performance between 3080 and 3090

[normal wharf]

Also would a 850 watt platinum even be enough for a 3090?

[livid idol]

It depends on the model PSU, platinum is just an efficiency rating and has very little to do with quality

[normal wharf]

It’s this psu

A asus rog Thor

[livid idol]

Yep that works, A tier

[normal wharf]

Okay good then I’ll be good for a 3080 or 3090

[stuck lynx]

provided u find em lol

[livid idol]

Yeah I'm lucky I grabbed my 2070 back in July, it's worth double what I paid for it now though lol
I think I'm good until the next-next gen when things should be more stable again

(I could literally sell my used 2070 for the msrp of a 3080, insane)

[heady turtle]

Hey guys I'm trying to upgrade my gpu to a 3060 ti/ rx 6700 xt whichever i can actually get my hands on, is a 600w psu good enough or would i have to upgrade

[green harness]

AMD lists the minimum psu for the 6700xt as 650w, we won't know more until reviews come out

[heady turtle]

Hmm okay thanks

[sullen nest]

Good luck getting your hands on one of those tho bud. I’m sure you know it’s been pretty tough to say the least @heady turtle

[heady turtle]

Yes ik, was hoping to try get a 6700 xt when it launches, probs my best bet

[velvet cloud]

Would an msi gtx 1060 be good for light gaming for a few months till the gpu shortage shifts or I win the shuffle finally lol?

It's 100 bucks, and light gaming includes Valheim.

[honest dagger]

yea I think so

[green harness]

Depends on what you mean by light gaming, but as long as it's a legit listing for a 6gb 1060 it should be decent.

[velvet cloud]

It's a 3gb

[tender mulch]

mmmm, 1050TI then

It'll do OK 1080p low-med

THe 1060 3Gb was honestly not the best card

Less cores than the 1060 6GB, not a true 1060

Pretty much a 3 GB 1050

[velvet cloud]

I cant find any lol I'm trying to compromise with something smaller until I win the shuffle. Most cards people are scalping ridiculously

[tender mulch]

Yes, they are

$100 isn't a bad price TBH, just don't expect 1060 performance for it

It's a 1050TI in disguise

VRAM is also a little short for 1080p but it will work

[velvet cloud]

It will be mainly for Val. Both my friends snagged a 1660 prior to this bs. I have all these components and I just can't find myself paying 1100 for a 3060 zotac. So I just want something to hold me over for a bit until this b.s. levels out a bit, which I've read may be sooner than later.

[tender mulch]

1080p low should get you about 60 FPS

maybe medium as well

I checked some benchmarks

[velvet cloud]

Yeah in some reviews I read that. I have a 1440 monitor, will that mess it uo

[tender mulch]

OH

Don't even TRY at 1440p lol

Run it at 1080p

[velvet cloud]

Lol

[green harness]

Yeah, it won't be ideal but you should still be able to set your res to 1080p

[tender mulch]

I'm just saying, my 3070 does ~120 FPS with everything maxed on Valheim at 1440p

[velvet cloud]

Oh fun

[tender mulch]

Yes, def don't try 1440p, the 1060 3GB doesn't have enough VRAM for that

But the game is hecka fun

[velvet cloud]

I know u wanna play so bad

I*

[agile viper]

just curious, am i the only one who's missed a new egg shuffle cuz i couldnt check my email in the 4ish hours they give

[tender rapids]

anyone found any website with RTX 30 series?

[toxic sinew]

Yeah

[tender rapids]

that isnt scalped?

[boreal mauve]

This suck all i need is the 3060 graphics card and my pc build will be done and I cant find any for the retail price because I'm not paying scalpers prices. I hope they get back to producing this stuff soon

[cloud pendant]

just read stocks wont be good until 2022

so dont count on it lol

[tender mulch]

Meh

It'll happen before then

[glacial kelp]

December 2021 😄

[karmic crag]

I'd say stocks should regulate by the end of the pandemic, hopefully

[heady turtle]

you gotta wait for drops unless you want to pay 3x msrp

[inland hound]

Or more

[livid idol]

So you're saying you got the "you were selected" email but missed out because you couldn't check it? That's some rough luck.

[tender rapids]

shuffle?

[livid idol]

It's Saturday today so no shuffle
Speaking of which Newegg is drunk. Not the first time either.

[inland hound]

Lmao

Nice card tho

Did you win it?

[livid idol]

Nah I'm happy with my 2070, just saying the page glitches out for me like that sometimes

Although I'm tempted to enter for a 3080 and sell my 2070 to cover the cost lol

[inland hound]

That’s 100% viable

[agile viper]

Yep, kinda blows

[heady turtle]

I would happily take that ryzen gpu xd

[karmic crag]

I would happily take any gpu

at this point I'd even nab a 3060

[dire epoch]

So I'm looking into getting a 3080 (assuming I can actually find one) and I currently have a 3900x w/64gb of ram and a couple of HDD and SSD's. I have a 750w PSU, do I have to upgrade? I'm going to be rendering with the GPU so I'm thinking maybe but I would like an outsider's perspective

[solar mist]

if rendering with GPU it will be an upgrade. if you mean upgrading your PSU it is not nescessary.

[dire epoch]

That's what I was thinking

[lone pond]

3080 power recommation is 750w so it would be enough if its tier a psu

even nvidia tests it with i9 cpu

[lone pond]

can i have your gpu? 😃

[dire epoch]

I currently have no GPU, so yes you can have my gpu

[static zinc]

@dire epoch thats the same setup ive got but using a 600w psu

[lone pond]

rip

xd

[dire epoch]

with a 3080?

[static zinc]

yeah

[dire epoch]

damn, good 2 know

[lone pond]

F xd

[static zinc]

draws 470w max, plenty of overhead

[lone pond]

i just checked 3900x using more power than i9 9900k thats why i wonder about 600w lol

[tender mulch]

Nah

[static zinc]

its in a sff case so theres not much OCing

[dire epoch]

Nice nice

[static zinc]

the whole pc is a bit bigger than some of thse 3090 cards i swear lol

[tender mulch]

9900K draws 170W at max stock boost clocks.

How you are running a 3080 on 600W without tripping OCP is nuts. Not recommended.

[static zinc]

?? its a very popular build

no issues in 4 months, not even heat

[tender mulch]

I know but 3080's have almost 500W power transients

They're very hard on PSU's

[static zinc]

yeah people been saying that for many years but ive never seen it be an issue

think of all the rigs that run 8-12 gpus at once

[dire epoch]

so my 750w psu is fine?

[tender mulch]

Depends on the PSU but should be

if the PSU has weak OCP it might trip

mostly EVGA units have that issue

[dire epoch]

I won't be OC's it

[tender mulch]

many years? maybe since November

[tender mulch]

Doesn't matter lol

[dire epoch]

this is the PSU i've got https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/hxi-series-2017-config/p/CP-9020137-NA?utm_source=PCPartPicker_79301&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=497986_CORSAIR US Product Catalog Ad&utm_content=Corsair&clickid=wka2uuQQkxyORjJwUx0Mo36GUkEQMsVN1TiZys0&irgwc=1

[static zinc]

nah its not a new thing, people are just now talking about it like it is

[tender mulch]

Transients aren't new

500W transients are

[static zinc]

gpus have had this issue for a long time, i had a 6800 ultra "psu killer" card myself

[tender mulch]

That should be fine

[dire epoch]

thx

[tender mulch]

It's mostly the EVGA Supernova and some Seasonic units with the issue. Especially when paired with Intel which draws more power than AMD

[lone pond]

i thought 3900x drawing over 200 when it overclocked

[tender mulch]

I don't think so

142W

[lone pond]

it have 105w tdp

[tender mulch]

Stock

168W with PBO cranked up

142W stock

TDP is ONLY valid at base clocks

It's not valid for boost clocks

[lone pond]

I know but if it have 105w tdp and max is 142 its nice

[tender mulch]

Yeah, that's not bad

Intel has lower base TDP but typically draws more power under boost

[lone pond]

hmm

i checked 9900k drawing 175 when its overclocked to 5ghz

with clock speed it drawing around 120

such a big difference

[tender mulch]

Mmmm

Stock speed is 168W

https://www.anandtech.com/show/13400/intel-9th-gen-core-i9-9900k-i7-9700k-i5-9600k-review/21

Not overclocked

[lone pond]

lol

some people saying it hits 250w when it fully overclocked

thats crazy xd

[warm spindle]

this and last year MANY !

[livid idol]

9900k drawing power like a threadripper with almost double the tdp, dang

[ripe ivy]

The TDP standards are different between AMD and Intel, and they aren't always accurate to power draw. What I do know is Intel bases its TDP by whatever the base clock is, despite them naturally boosting.

[tender mulch]

has nothing to do with standards TBH

Ratings are at base clock, not boost clock. That's all

For both AMD and Intel

[wicked hound]

tdp is also heat output at a certain temp. If everything else is the same except target temp, say 60c and 90c, tdp will be different

If you have voltage and clocks be the same and just change the fanspeed/worse cooler, input power wont change when the CPU is at 60c vs 90c

[jagged sequoia]

amd, intel, and cooler makers all have their own way they calculate tdp, it's kinda arbitrary

that's why I prefer to frame things around max power draw even though that's not the whole story of heat output

[livid idol]

Right, heat is only a byproduct of the work the CPU does, a more efficient chip will give off less heat. Smaller process chips also tend to be more efficient.

[elfin parrot]

Hi just vertical mounted my gpu and the white light on my motherboard turned on. I’m not getting any video output. Anybody know what’s wrong?

[livid idol]

What motherboard and what GPU?

@elfin parrot It's a pretty common problem with PCIe 4.0 if it's one of the new gen boards. Risers are only PCIe 3.0 still and cause problems unless you set it to gen 3 in the BIOS

[elfin parrot]

3070 with a 3.0 cable

I haven’t changed it from 4.0 to 3.0

B550 asus strix motherboard

[livid idol]

Yep you'll need to set the PCI to gen 3 for it to work

[elfin parrot]

I can’t even get into the bios

[livid idol]

Load the BIOS without the riser, change the setting, then you can put it back on the riser

[elfin parrot]

Wait wtf

It’s booting now for no reason

After multiple tries

[livid idol]

You'll still want to change the setting so you don't have other problems

[elfin parrot]

It’s frozen on windows boot screen

[livid idol]

Yep problems like that lol

[elfin parrot]

Complete bs if I have to take this all out and load into bios like that

[livid idol]

It's part of the growing pains moving to the new PCI generation

[elfin parrot]

It’s showing that

[livid idol]

See if it'll go into setup, F1

[elfin parrot]

Yeah I can it’s with rizor cable too

Ryzor

Dk

@inland hound sorry for ping lol my friend said apparently Best Buy employee accounts can just add to cart directly

Not sure how true that is

Let's just say employees know the supply and where to ship them from. However there are restriction now for them due to issues before

[hoary sleet]

Is there a specific thermal paste that I should use for a GPU? Will the stuff I use for my CPU be good enough or is there a separate standard?

[inland hound]

at the end of the day, I would use a good thermal pad

but a GPU is basically just a really specially tuned CPU with a lot of cores

so normal paste should theoretically be fine

#old-cooling would be a better place to ask tho

[hoary sleet]

I'm cleaning out an old GTX 465 so nothing that outputs heat like a modern card

[inland hound]

oh then yeah lol

normal paste is fine

I wouldnt be surprised if something that old didnt have any compound on it to begin with

[hoary sleet]

Lol possibly. I feel like it does but a very minimal amount.

Got 2 of these cards from a guy that was running em in SLI. Tis the only GPU I currently have

[inland hound]

unluck

what are you gonna do with it

[hoary sleet]

Using it to play some games on poop settings till prices normalize or I get lucky with a shuffle

[inland hound]

good luck lol

maybe Half Life or something

[hoary sleet]

It plays Super Hot silk smooth :)

[inland hound]

do you lie?

I wouldnt be surprised tbh

character models in that game literally have a hundred polygons

[hoary sleet]

it handled that fine no issues in rendering anywhere

It also ran Apex at 55fps on all low settings which was surprising. So there is hope for esports titles and not much else

And indie games

[inland hound]

indie games lol

60 FPS Undertale !!!!!!1111!!!!11!!!!!1111

[hoary sleet]

I'm sure it can run undertale on max settings!! 🤣

[inland hound]

undertale doesnt even have graphics settings lmao

[hoary sleet]

Exactly. No settings === max settings

It's the bragging right ya know

[green harness]

Thermal paste has been around for ages.

[inland hound]

i know

im saying I wouldnt be surprised if that thing is just heatsink and no paste

[green harness]

It's not like 2010 was the stone ages.

[inland hound]

I know lmao

it just doesnt output that much heat

you could probably passively cool it with just some directed air

[green harness]

I mean it is still 200w

Even my first gpu in my own build had a fan and heatsink, although that one (I think a gt 6600 or 6800) had a legitimately much lower tdp (less than 70w)

[slate mountain]

Does a GPU bought in a different country work anywhere? Like, say, I buy one in Australia,...will it work with parts bought in the US? Seems like a dumb question, but I remember when dvd players (though the same model) didn't work in Europe (different format) if bought in the US

[inland hound]

That thing about a US one not working in Europe or whatever was probably just a different standard

Everything is pretty much standardized nowadays

An ATX part will work with another ATX part

A GPU will work with a motherboard which works for modern RAM which works with a modern CPU... etc

[tender mulch]

GPU's aren't region locked like DVD's.

[slate mountain]

Thanks! Just wanted to be sure

[honest dagger]

i found a 2070 on facebook market place, its 190. should i bother? the seller says they bought it in 2019 and was only used on silent mode

lol ive found someone selling what seems to be a geforce 7600 gs for 15 dollars. never opend

[heady turtle]

thats a very good deal as long as its not scam/faulty

[honest dagger]

yeah i am considering it

tho i would prefer to get a new gpu, with a warranty

[honest dagger]

what a terrible idea!

[heady turtle]

[inland hound]

It just lasted longer than it usually does

Lol

[honest dagger]

ill try to get that 2070. however i currently am missing an arm.

[inland hound]

Hmmm

That could hamper your game performance

Consider getting that checked out

[honest dagger]

i fell off a skateboard

[inland hound]

I am currently missing a voice, while we are on the topic

[honest dagger]

broke something in my elbow but they couldnt see what it was because of all the bone juice

or something

[inland hound]

Marrow?

[honest dagger]

idk thats what i think they said

[inland hound]

So they just cut it off?

Lol
