My 3070 gets around 61mh/s stable at a little under 120w. Doesn't go over 53c.

youd pay exactly what you would from a scalper in germany at that rate, with shipping and import fees anway XD

i go to the store with a dollar to buy sum that's 99c and it ends up being more than a dollar and now i'm sad

tbh I'd rather have an 80% income tax and free healthcare and schooling than 30% income with spending tax and school debts and healthcare debts and all that

dawn plover

fossil talon
#

80% seems like the Nordic countries

dawn plover
#

that bigger tax will eventually go to your school and healthcare spendings

#

right? or no

fossil talon
#

Yes

#

Canada is your example, our "free" healthcare is funded by taxes

heady turtle
fossil talon
#

Yep certainly

#

Damn

Still ridiculous for the process

heady turtle

Wtf

#

250 is probs around price for glasses in Ireland

#

Oof

#

In Ireland tho you can get private health insurance but it just lets you go to private hospitals mainly

fossil talon
#

In Canada my lenses are around $600 CAD themselves (-5.25/-5.75), covered my insurance

livid idol

Could get VSP vision coverage, it's like $17 a month and covers most of the costs

Biomed is too high of a GPA for me

Mechatronics is amazing but again high GPA

livid idol

Biotech is super insane these days

heady turtle
#

Wtf is a gpa

#

Ahh

fossil talon
#

We got a couple of engineering students here lol

heady turtle
#

Ik it was to do with grades but only knew from movies etc

#

What....

livid idol
#

AP was nice, if you get a C grade or better it counts as an extra point

fossil talon
#

Should of done AP instead of IB (one of my high school regrets)

#

the competition in the State are so fierce

#

Like if I applied to the US, I can hear rejections all day long

livid idol
#

I'm so glad I took AP stats so I didn't actually have to take a single math class in college

heady turtle
#

I understood about 30% of this

fossil talon

If I see Stats I just cry

livid idol

#

Lmao Laziness bought you a much better life

heady turtle
#

This is confusing me to try understand wtf

#

Wait you have to do an exam to get into your college, is that not just based on the exam in your final year of school?

fossil talon
#

SATs lol

#

That's different from AP/IB exams

#

Basically you're completing post secondary courses while being in high school

heady turtle
# fossil talon SATs lol

I thought the SATs where the equivalent to what we call the leaving certificate, where you do exams last year of "high school"

fossil talon
#

heady turtle
#

Wtf

fossil talon
#

Rommy knows more, I only took the PSAT since I did it for fun and wanted to stay in Canada

heady turtle
#

I think that the extra credit thing and writing an essay for college is so stupid tho sorry not sorry 😤

#

Ahh okay that's what i thought

#

This bit confuses me

#

Yeah but you need to take a test to do that

fossil talon
#

...........

#

Well then

#

That makes it nicer

#

I had something similar to Patokav called diploma exams

heady turtle
#

Ohh all your exams during the year actually contribute to your grade, thats cool

fossil talon
#

Oh we had the same, nvm I thought you were talking about something else

heady turtle
#

This is getting confusion

#

I see, we don't do exams to get into a specific college either

fossil talon
#

Canadian system is similar. We don't take entrance exams, or cumulative exams. Entrance is based on your grade 11/12 averages and your extracurriculars + AP/IB/Honour course

heady turtle
#

We just one set of exams for each subject summer of final year of school

heady turtle
fossil talon
#

Interesting

heady turtle
#

Sounds good

#

Nice you got scholarship

#

With scholarship 💀

#

2 years of tuition in ireland

#

What fees you gotta pay then lol i thought be fees you mean tuition?

#

Bro they fkn scam you wtf

#

???

#

America confuses me so complicated and unnecessarily dum i aint even wanna start on us taxes

#

Like the government legit knows how much you need to pay but turbotax was like if you have this bag of cash can you make them do it themselves

#

In Ireland, you're employer takes your income tax out for you and sends to gov automatically

#

We don't gotta do our tax

#

Only businesses need to do taxes for obvs reasons

#

We can get return back by going to the tax website and clicking claim refund

#

And you can claim up to fires years ago

#

We can do that too lol, just go into the site and declare extra income etc

#

But the gov already knows exactly how much you owe lol

tender mulch
#

Mmmmm

#

Why is this a GPU conversation?

heady turtle
#

Hmm :/ it's because companies such as turbo tax where like yo Sam 💰💰

#

No idea lol

#

Oh yea lol

It's really easy

I only started because 1. Got a gpu that can and 2. I have nfi about crypto and thought I should probably start learning before I end up needing to use it and are clueless like a boomer when net banking came in.

does anybody know any good gpu support brackets for the 3070 tuf gaming oc?

lone pond
#

I’ll start mining whenever I can finally upgrade my graphics card

vital pivot
#

The one on my wife’s msi 3070 is nice

floral sequoia
#

I'll start gaming when I get any gpu

heady turtle
#

Oc ram, underclock mem and power to around 55 60% and use nicehash and coinbase if yoi wanna keep things easy

vital pivot
#

It’s a arm mounted in the expansion holes

flat timber
#

Does the tuf 3070 need a bracket? Is it really that heavy?

#

My gigabyte 3070 gaming oc seems very flat and stable

tender mulch
#

Most mobos have reinforced PCI-E slots, I wouldn't sweat it too much

vital pivot
#

The gigabyte 3070 vision is easily half the weight of the msi

flat timber
#

My mobo is like that, definitely helps

tender mulch
#

Mine too

#

EVGA XC3 Ultra 3070

vital pivot
#

I think it weights more then my evga 2080ti ftw3

flat timber
#

I had to laugh when I unboxed my 3070. First gpu I have held in my hands since the voodoo2. The sheer size of it lol

vital pivot
#

@flat timber did you sign up for the step up

flat timber
vital pivot
#

How long have you had the car

#

Card.

flat timber
#

Got it towards end of feb

vital pivot
#

Ugh

#

Did you register it

flat timber
#

I can't recall now. Think I only registered my mobo when I got it all for extended warranty

vital pivot
#

Evga has a step up program for registers cards. It allows you to upgrade to a higher tier card

flat timber
#

I have a gigabyte though

vital pivot
#

Sorry though it was a evga card

#

lol

flat timber
#

That was @tender mulch

#

Sounds like a cool program though

vital pivot
#

I always try to go with evga when I can

#

Best support. Best warranty

flat timber
#

Yeah I had to build a desktop quick for work and had to grab what I could at the time. Still managed to get my gpu before retailers here jacked prices up another few hundred though at least.

vital pivot
#

Good deal

flat timber
#

3060/ti are now selling here for more than I originally paid for my 3070 from retailers now

vital pivot
#

Yeah.

#

Our prices for tech are higher as it is. Just bonkers now with shortages

vital pivot
#

Oh I know

Hardwareunboxed is a great tech resource

flat timber
#

Got my 3070 for $1099 AUD. Same card from same retailer is listed at $1349. Scalpers have it starting at 1800+

vital pivot
#

Yeah. Prices are stupid

warped trail
#

what would be a good (hopefully cheap/decent priced) Budget GPU or just a placeholder GPU? Until stock gets figured out in like 10 years lel

#

I was sort of thinking 1030 or 1050 but not sure. The really low-tier are more likely to be in stock somewhere

Only 100,000?

they just have bots that can out perform humans

verbal basin
#

just trying to put it in perspective

#

maybe you're right

flat timber
#

Ratio of gpu to human is far higher on the scalper side. Less of them but many gpu vs all the gamers out there.

dull skiff
warped trail
#

they'll probably be fine. But nice

verbal basin
#

i forgot to include the miners

warped trail
#

eh miners aren't as big an issue as the scalpers

jovial lotus
#

the scalpers aren't even the biggest issue, it's the botters, no one can get anything with bots purchasing everything automatically. I know they're kind of one and the same, but if they could put cards up for sale bot free then instead of the 10 inventory that trickles in at a time going to all botters those 10 would go to actual people

#

I was trying to get an xbox x today on gamestop, and could only snag an s, I won't be keeping it because I want an x, but I'm going to put it up for bid on ebay, just because I didn't want a botter getting it instead

lone pond
#

What's the difference between compute and graphics workload for a 580?

flat timber

The money I would have spent on a series x went into my desktop. My one x at present will still give me plenty use. Don't even have a 4k TV yet so not too fussed.

karmic flare
#

so does anyone know why crypto miners need so many GPUs

#

how does mining a currency that has no tangible value require 700 graphics cards

dawn plover
#

internet money does have a value nowadays

#

a lot of value in fact

#

more gpu = more money

flat timber
#

@karmic flare mining it doesn't need 700 gpus. But more gpus means you can mine more faster.

dawn plover
#

not faster

#

just more

karmic flare
#

confusion intensifies

dawn plover
#

and true, i’ve heard 3070’s have better value overall than 3080’s when mining internet money

karmic flare
#

i feel like that would be more of a CPU workload right?

dawn plover
#

no

karmic flare
#

i dont see how its graphics based

dawn plover
#

the only thing the cpu does is run the software or os and the gpu does all the “maths” basically

flat timber
#

Graphics = lots of calculations. Mining uses those gpu cores for its complex math.

karmic flare
#

ohhhhhhh

dawn plover
#

yeee

#

so technically you can make a potato pc into a mining rig

idle slate
#

gpu is designed for lots of parallel operations; cpu is generally for sequential ops. hashing a hundred million different hashes at once can be ultra paralellized

karmic flare
#

makes sense

idle slate
#

a bit more nuance than that but rule of thumb; theyre designed for different tasks

karmic flare
#

one more question, flavored thermal paste, yes or no

dawn plover
#

no

karmic flare
#

wrong

coarse spindle
#

It tastes like pencil

obsidian wave
#

From what benchmarks i've seen it seems like the 6800 xt is a bit better than the 3080 but i'm wanting to game and stream so should i get a 3080??

livid idol
#

For streaming yes, the nvidia encoder is superior. The 3080 is also easier to get than the 6800XT.

heady turtle
#

But for streaming nvidia because of envenc

#

hey y'all

#

does this mean a dying gpu , or dying headset cable/adapter

#

using the same cable i have for 2 years on my index

#

*if I swap the DP cable between ports on the gpu i get it to boot properly

heady turtle
#

Possibly a dying port but more likely it just doesn't like it lol

lone pond
#

very rare for a port to die tho.

heady turtle
#

^ more likely it just didn't like it for some reason

lone pond
#

has more cache etc

#

CPU is too small

junior veldt
#

think of it this way: the CPU tells everything what to do, but the GPU of a computer is actually the muscle of the work

#

a common misconception

tender mulch
#

Until you get high FPS 1080p, then you get CPU limited

heady turtle
junior veldt
#

very true

#

I was thinking more generally

unborn sedge
#

Is there any way to turn off a fan on the 3060Ti FE?

#

It only seems to go to 30% speed

tender mulch
#

Not sure about individually though, I don't think it can do one or the other just both at the same time

unborn sedge
#

I have previously asked here about my super noisy right fan, that stopping it with a finger stops a high pitched noise from my PC. Bit scared to take it apart to lube it for now.

#

However the noise has gotten much louder to the point where I can't be around my PC without headphones unless I want a headache

tender mulch
#

I'd RMA the card myself but that means no GPU for a bit

unborn sedge
#

yeah unfortunately I have online school and some other obligations which require a computer. My CPU doesn't have integrated graphics :/

tender mulch
#

OH, 10400F then?

unborn sedge
#

yeah

tender mulch
#

Replace the fan yourself?

#

Gn has a teardown video

unborn sedge
#

the noise is about 6500Hz

tender mulch
#

Not terribly difficult

unborn sedge
#

That sounds scary 👀

tender mulch
#

Na, just a good adventure

#

XD

unborn sedge
#

This is the sound, or at least the only thing that changes in the spectrum when I manually stop the fan

#

the brief period where there is nothing at ~6500Hz is when I've stopped it

#

Droq confirmed this morning an MC employee stated their website is whack

From what I've heard the Cambridge MC updates their online stock at the end of the day. GPUs mostly get bought up before close, so they're usually oos online

why would they do that

cuz they dumb

#

Fan at 100% usually means it's overheating

You can use MSI afterburner to see your GPU temps

lavish otter

Usually they just verify by name, never even ask for a signature. It be dumb

#

Jeez, that is even worse

karmic flare
#

can a graphics card cure depression

livid idol
#

Depends on the underlying cause of the depression and how you use the graphics card

karmic flare
#

hm

#

ill take it as a yes

livid idol
#

Probably not, but in certain cases maybe it would help

flat timber
#

A graphics card on its own probably not, but all the things you can do with one? Much better chance I'm sure.

Do yall think its okay to use a 2060 in 2021 for valorant?

Basically a 3060 -5ish%

No, most other slots are x8 instead of x16

#

can you buy 4.0 riser cables?

tender mulch
#

Yes but spendy

#

$70 or so

tender rapids
#

I need one for the 011d xl

tender rapids
#

wonder if the one that comes with the vertical kit is already 4.0

#

i cant find the info on it

tender mulch
#

I'll bet it's not

#

Most included are 3.0

tender rapids
#

can you change them i wonder

tender mulch
#

yes

vital pivot
#

There is not much of a performance loss if any between a 4.0 and 3.0 pcie slot

tender mulch
#

Nope

#

HOwever, using a PCI-E 3.0 cable is a PITA

#

Have to manually set it to 3.0 first

#

And every time you update BIOS have to do it again

#

Which means moving the card back and forth

vital pivot
#

How often does that occur

tender mulch
#

Depends on how much performance you like

#

and if you're having AMD USB issues

#

etc

#

Overclocking and resetting CMOS

#

It CAN happen, depends on the user

#

Plus I'm not sure the PCI-E 3.0 will support resizable BAR

#

Need to investigeate

vital pivot
#

Most people think that there is a huge performance gain with 4.0

tender mulch
#

There isn't

#

BUt BAR can provide 2-10% performance increase

vital pivot
#

I was in BB picking up a PS5 the other day and some wannabe was running his mouth about the performance

tender mulch
#

MIght change my slot to 3.0 tonight and see if it still works. Can't find much about it

#

XD

#

I mean, the bandwidth increase is nice

#

It's just that GPU's don't use it

#

Yet

vital pivot
#

Yeah

tender mulch
#

Even x8 isn't much of a decrease

vital pivot

I’ve been waiting awhile to build my 10900 system. Mostly to drop in a 3080.

I'm getting a MSI Aegis RS 9TD-082US - Intel Core i9-9900K - GeForce RTX 3070 - 16 GB DDR4 - 1 TB HDD - 1 TB SSD - Windows 10 Home - Gaming Desktop and i was wondering if the monitor ASUS TUF Gaming VG24VQ 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms MPRT 144Hz 2 x HDMI, DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free Backlit LED Height Adjustable Curved Gaming Monitor would be compatible or work well together?

I don't know what that is

heady turtle

And even still, monitor would have worked anyway you just couldn't use that feature

Is the MSI Aegis RS 9TD-082US - Intel Core i9-9900K - GeForce RTX 3070 - 16 GB DDR4 - 1 TB HDD - 1 TB SSD - Windows 10 Home - Gaming Desktop any good?

#

How do i get a graphics card?

verbal basin
#

ebay

odd jetty
verbal basin
#

choose a seller who has good feedback then

odd jetty
heady turtle
verbal basin
#

go to their feedback history and make sure the buyers are not fake easy enough bro

heady turtle
verbal basin
#

if the buyers have decent feedback as well they aren't fake

heady turtle
#

But that's gonna be at crazy prices

#

Best bet is to stalk best buy and enter the newegg shuffle everyday it's on

heady turtle
#

Well 1, it's out of stock and 2 theres no price there

fossil crow
#

I already bought it. But i had problems with the graphics on the monitor i bought. I just want to know the spec's

heady turtle
#

Ohh, did you connect the monitor to the graphics card and not the motherboard?

#

But yes it's a pretty good pc

fossil crow
#

The monitor i originally bought with it didn't seem to work so i sent it back for a replacement. But i ordered a different monitor. Which is this.. gimme a sec. I'll send a link

heady turtle
#

That's fine

fossil crow
#

But i didn't realize i could choose the refresh rate? So im wondering if i should get this instead.. I'll send another link. What would you recommend?

heady turtle
#

Are you connecting the monitor to the graphics card though, and not the motherboard

fossil crow
#

I could have done it wrong. I won't know until i get another one.

heady turtle
#

The monitor you have is good

fossil crow
#

I'm new to PC gaming. I want the best graphics for a gaming PC and livestreaming. And a monitor to match.. i don't know if what i picked out fits that top tier

heady turtle
#

I wouldn't bother getting the other one, you're not going to notice 144hz vs 165hz anyway

fossil crow
#

Okay good to know

heady turtle
#

Well the cpu is a bit old but it's still a good cpu

fossil crow
#

What about the graphics?

heady turtle
#

Very good, you could have gotten better, but tbh 3070 is still really good and graphics cards are kinda impossible to get rn so i wouldn't worry

fossil crow
#

Are graphics cards easy to install ?

#

Are they literally just a card you put into your pc? Mine is pre built? So i could upgrade anytime. But if i upgrade one do i upgrade everything?

heady turtle
#

Yes but they are rarer than gold atm

#

In the future you can, but I'd wait at least 3 years before thinking of an upgrade

fossil crow
#

Okay. Its a 3060 though i believe. Is there a big difference between the 3060 and the most recent of 2021?

heady turtle
#

Ohh the pc you linked had a 3070

fossil crow
#

Oh i could have read it wrong

#

Yes my apologies. I read it wrong. You are correct

heady turtle
#

3060 is a good gpu, it doesn't make much sense if you were buying economically, just the gpu anyway, but i wouldn't exactly say the 3060 is the best graphics, the 3060 ti is much better

#

Ohh grand

#

Nvm that text then

fossil crow
#

Lol. So is there a big difference between the 3070 and the graphics card of 2021 of this year?

heady turtle
#

3070 is from this year

static rock
#

3070 released in october 2020

heady turtle
#

But basically this year of gpus

static rock
#

yeah its pretty recent still

heady turtle
#

3070 is a great gpu

fossil crow
#

Okay. Great! I wish i knew about PC more. I mean I'm pretty good with electronics but the more advanced stuff like a gpu or a cpu i have no idea what any of those parts are or what they do

#

I'll be right back.

heady turtle
#

Np

fossil crow
#

I sent you a friend request. May i ask for assistance when my PC arrives? To make sure I'm plugging into the graphics card and not the motherboard

heady turtle
#

It's pretty easy, you just plug it in about half way down, i like to keep my friends list to people i know, sorry, but if you want to ask when you get the pc, i and many others would be happy to help

fossil crow
#

Okay. Sounds good.

#

Thank you.

#

I hope everyone had a good Easter.

heady turtle
#

Thanks you too

inland hound
#

Not necessarily most powerful tho

Around 2060 super - 2070 super level of perf, depending on game

I’ve found myself trying to reason with scalpers on OfferUp. I’m working on this guy locally Idk how he’s getting these ( I do... bots)

inland hound
#

Heh

#

I just got a 3070 from the shuffle

#

Best upgrade ever

winged stag
#

3070 or 3080? Currently have a gtx 650 ssadge

heady turtle
#

And that was only from a 5700xt iirc right?

I’ve been trying for weeks to win on the shuffle so far no such luck.

heady turtle
winged stag
#

Yeah about the shuffle...

inland hound
#

Hm?

inland hound
#

3070 and 3080 will both outperform the 650 by miles

#

Light years even

#

Lmao

#

Good for you

#

even a 3060 will kill it

The last purchase I made from Newegg was in 2013. Maybe that’s why I have yet to win a shuffle 😂

heady turtle
inland hound
fossil crow
#

I got this to match

inland hound
#

For a 3070?

inland hound
fossil crow
#

Yes

inland hound
#

Talk about underutilization

fossil crow
#

What do you mean?

inland hound
#

1080p is a quarter of the resolution a 3070 can do well

pearl ridge
#

^

inland hound
#

I would get a high refresh rate 1440p monitor or something to really fill it out

#

Even a 4K monitor

#

With the one you have the 3070 is going to be way underutilized

heady turtle
#

Depends on what kinda games they wanna play tbf, for me i wont be going 1440p for a while as i mainly play esports titles and high fps good

pearl ridge
#

27" 1440p is the sweet spot imo

inland hound
#

27” you mean

pearl ridge
#

yea

inland hound
#

At 144hz

#

Sexy

pearl ridge
#

at 144

#

yea

inland hound
#

Also 1080p

#

Look for the terms 1440p and 144hz in the title

pearl ridge
#

1080p 24" is fine

#

as long as it has at least 144hz

heady turtle
#

^

inland hound
heady turtle
#

So

pearl ridge
#

o wait they have a 3070

inland hound
#

I have one, it can do 1440p 144fps just fine

heady turtle
#

Mb they only want 24"?

calm crow
#

If the man wants to play 1080p why can’t he play 1080p

pearl ridge
#

i mean they can

inland hound
#

I don’t think he knows the difference tbh

calm crow
#

Or he doesn’t care

inland hound
#

I’m here to care for him

#

Make sure he makes the right decisions, I suppose you could say

heady turtle
#

I believe they aready bought the tuf monitor

inland hound
#

Oh well then

calm crow
#

Isn’t a terrible monitor and will play anything the same as a 1440p monitor . maybe he doesn’t really mind the game not being 1440p quality

fossil crow
#

I can cancel the order still i think

inland hound
#

That’s a good one

fossil crow
#

Do you want to see the PC i bought so you can help me pick out a perfect match to really bring out the graphics?

#

This is the PC i bought

inland hound
#

Yeah the 1440p TUF monitor you picked will be fine

fossil crow
#

Okay great. I'll order that.

#

Whats an IPS
0.4 Ms
Or curved

#

Those are options i can choose with the monitor

inland hound
fossil crow

They already extort us on OS licenses

#

And then the license becomes invalid for unknown reasons a few months later, so you have to call M$ just to have the rep accuse you of piracy

fossil talon
#

It's like what else do you want, my passport, or SSN

#

Gotta love MS

livid idol
#

Once I had a license problem after helping a friend clean up his laptop, so I contacted HP first but they said they can't help. So I called M$ and since it was a OEM volume license key (multiple activation per key) someone had abused the key and gotten it blacklisted, so they accused me of pirating. I sent the audio of the call further up the food chain and CC'd HP. M$ never responded but I got an email the next week with a new key from the office of the CEO of HP. 🙃

Should i get a 1660ti or 1660 super for a budget build for valorant?

naive girder
#

1660 super

odd valley
#

How long can it last until i must change to a higher end one

naive girder
#

idk but def more than 2 years at 1080p

lean bone
#

1660 super is a great budget card

naive girder
#

however mayyybbeee you can find a 2060 for the same price used

#

on ebay or somewhere else like fb marketplace

lean bone
#

gpu market is wack tho

#

I cant even find a 1660 super at anything close to msrp

naive girder
#

ive found some gems i just cant buy them

#

it takes a while to look thogh

lean bone
#

really?

naive girder
#

yeah

lean bone
#

nice

naive girder
#

i found 1070 ti strix for 400 w hich isnt a great deal but a pretty good one

#

and like buy it now

lean bone
#

yea that is not bad

livid idol
#

1070 ti is still nice, can beat a 2060

lean bone
#

but like they used to be way cheaper im pretty sure

naive girder
#

not rlly

lean bone
#

oh

naive girder
#

maybe around the same price since its the old 70 series

lean bone
#

well then pog

naive girder
lean bone
#

y?

naive girder
#

it has newer stuff like 2 gen tensor cores and dlss although its pretty scuffed still helps

lean bone
#

I see

naive girder
#

ray tracing doesnt rlly work on it thoguh

#

depending on the game

lean bone
#

what are you trying to play?

naive girder
#

the only game ive seen that worth it with rtx is mc idk about other games

#

#

I dont think ray tracing works on java yet

#

correct me if im wrong

lean bone
naive girder
#

it may work now because the last article ive seen is from last december

Anyone know a good cpu for a 3060 for gaming and streaming maybe ?

verbal basin

3700x is decent

short timber

#

5600x is better for gaming tho, faster single core.

coarse spindle
#

Honestly that new I5 might be worth a look

verbal basin
#

i dont think you will notice on a 3060 though

coarse spindle
#

No you will

livid idol
#

10600k(f)/10700k(f) would be an alright choice too since it's likely on sale

verbal basin
#

esp if you're playing above 1080p

#

11600f?

livid idol
#

Don't think that one's out

coarse spindle
#

Well the K is out

#

And not bad, will make me buy blue again for a little while

short timber
#

I have a motherboard that’s only with amd

coarse spindle
#

Oh ok

#

5600x best bet

verbal basin
#

@short timber ok get the 5600x rather than 3700x since that's in stock as well and they are similar in multithread while 5600x is noticeable faster in gaming

livid idol
#

Ah you got the AM4 already, yeah look at the 3700X for the cores if streaming

verbal basin
#

aren't the 3700x and 5600x similar in multicore performance?

dawn plover
#

no

short timber
#

Ahhh I see I really appreciate it, I’ll probably have to put the pros and cons and see which ones better

Multicore is close, ~5%

theres a really sketchy deal on newegg rn

for a 3080

third party seller more than likely since wegg themeselves are only selling cards through the shuffle

id suggest reporting if possible since wegg is against it

#

Yea anyone know why it seems like there have been fewer shuffles lately? I feel like we went from pretty consistent Mon-Fri to having several gaps

tender mulch
#

Probably supply issue

charred remnant
#

Yea that's fair, I guess idk what else I really expected out of a response tbh

tender mulch
#

I mean, it's probably the after effects of Chinese new year when production slowed

#

They go on vacation for like 3 weeks

#

SHowing up now then it will get better

hmm yea I guess that would make sense, I'd also probably guess the incident in the Suez wasn't helpful either

they do it at the same time every day or near the same times?

Near, usually

That's a steal

Was it a bid?

Within a hour I had a request to buy it at 300

Higher

I looked at the person and he had sold a ton of cards and pc stuff

So I denied it.

#

5 mins later he offered 350

Yeah I wouldn’t accept for lower than 400

Or whatever market value is

Right now it’s sitting at $500

why these stores can not learn something like Korean didn

Some Newegg employee overdosed on chocolate yesterday.

queen prairie

I was in Korea for 4 years

they made u install a software

in order to buy some sht from website

and it was like very hard to purchase

#

and it track down to bank account and stuffs

#

very easy to control

queen prairie

you can not

inland hound
#

Can not what?

queen prairie

I mean they very good at controlling stock

you evaded the swear filter but i think it may have been a typo?

queen prairie
#

oh my bad

lol

#

xD

#

but anyway

#

my point was

#

very simple way to control this scalper

#

either that or it would take another 2 years to be back to normal

#

which i would go for 4000 series lol

vital pivot
#

Well that or set it to one person/address/month

queen prairie
#

well

#

you need to trach the MAC IP address

vital pivot
#

Like micro center

queen prairie
#

yeah

#

local is best

#

need to stop selling these online

inland hound
queen prairie
#

but we know xD the company earns anyway

#

Mac IP address

vital pivot
#

Local would be a joke

queen prairie
#

is 1 thing

#

?

#

not MAC, IP, Address

#

lol

#

it is physical IP address

#

not the internet IP address

vital pivot
#

I’ll walk into a bestbuy tell the kid get me 300x and hand him a $100

queen prairie
#

the same way how Microsoft track people with their windows 8 update to 10

vital pivot
#

You can spoof Mac anyway

queen prairie
#

they used Mac IP address of multiple component in the PC

#

you can

#

but if 1 is being used

#

it can not be used again

#

basically it meaning 1 machine at a time

#

put delay on it for 15 days

#

easy

#

Korea they did hook the bank into it

#

you have to have the token on the USB

#

which you made in the bank

vital pivot
#

Nice

queen prairie
#

to identify ytou as the person using that PC

#

dude

idle slate
#

sounds way too complicated to buy a pc part

queen prairie
#

it was like nightmare buying stuffs online in Korea

#

but it works in Korea

#

people went through it

idle slate
#

i would not give away that much access to my stuff

queen prairie
#

they are annoyed by it

#

like

#

you want to buy stuffs on ebay

#

then when u go to pay

#

you have to use the token made in the bank to hook onto the PC

#
