graphics-cards

[thick mango]

true

i mean also if you have like a 6 digit salary, you can easily spend that amount but people like me on a fixed income, i have to wait for restock and pay at msrp

[spare relic]

When a product is in high demand and somebody is selling it for much lower than elsewhere, people will pick up in that and buy buy buy. That means their stock is flying off the shelves, and they're not fetching the prices they could be fetching. For the seller that's selling at a really low price, it's not a good deal. Any other seller is making much more than them. So the only reasonable thing to do is to drive the price up to match other sellers.

[thick mango]

also im not stupid and never pay 3x the price for a person feeding on someones misfortune

[thick mango]

true but main issues atm is people are buying them at 3x the price and these scalpers are using this situation to their advantage for fast money

like i get the whole selling at low price is bad, but to me ripping someone off by selling it way over MSRP, is worse

[calm crow]

Not from what I see they aren’t.

1050tis are still $350 and 1660ti are still $600

[mild ruin]

Anyone know any tricks to getting Radeon Eyefinity to run 5760x1080? Right now it just blows it out to 11520x2160 even though the displays are native 1080.

[vital pivot]

I have 2 video cards on eBay right now

I am not a scalper either

[woeful perch]

what are they?

[clear blaze]

3080 Paper edition probably

lol

[woeful perch]

lol

[woeful perch]

what cards?

[woeful perch]

do you have a link

[heady turtle]

You're not aloud advertise on the server so i don't think they'll be aloud post em

[woeful perch]

k

[vital pivot]

Sorry I was afk

Anyway. I was going to comment that the prices I set were the recommended eBay prices.

The 1660ti was set at $200 and it grew to $510 in 2 days

I know the rules

I was not even attempting to advertise them

Well I just wanted to clear the air about some of the scalper posting

It’s scalpers but also the demand that’s fueling these crazy prices.

[cosmic swift]

Very desperate

Gamer verification.

[vital pivot]

lol

[woeful perch]

lol

true

[cosmic swift]

Cries in gt 710

[vital pivot]

All that really did was get a limited amount of cards to “gamers” and make LTT a pile of cash

[calm crow]

Took the L and got a 1050ti for $220

[cosmic swift]

Welcome to the gang

[woeful perch]

sry forgot about that one

[cosmic swift]

Wish i was into pc gaming before it all went to hell.

[calm crow]

Yeah I’m about to buy my buddies 1660 and I may resell my 1050ti for the cash. How much are they going for these days?

[calm crow]

Same

[vital pivot]

I was fortunate. As I did not have a need for a GPu and I’m not one that always buys the new shiny stuff everything a product is released

[green harness]

Well yeah, mostly from views/exposure. I bet they didn't make a ton on the cards themselves. It's all about publicity really

[cosmic swift]

I could not experience the full micro center experience.

[median sequoia]

Shuffle today?

[woeful perch]

there were some 3070s at micro center earlier

[green harness]

The shuffle most often opens at 1pm est, so we'll see

[calm crow]

They are selling for $600 when I checked on eBay.

In the U.S

Hype I can’t read

[cosmic swift]

The nearest micro center to me is like 2 hours away.

[calm crow]

A lot of the bids from what I see start at $300 tho.

[vital pivot]

Ironically I offered the 1660ti to a buddy for $200 with shipping to Newfoundland CA

I was hooking him up. He turned it down.

[calm crow]

I just check eBay and Amazon tbh.

my Craigslist is dead when it comes to electronics

[cosmic swift]

Amazon bad

[calm crow]

oh I know

I still check it that

Tho

[acoustic ginkgo]

I'm happy I've got a 3060 due to arrive Monday.

[calm crow]

Bruh. Could’ve gotten a 2060 for that much

[woeful perch]

how much did you buy it for

[cosmic swift]

3060 maybe even

[acoustic ginkgo]

Not selling it. It be going in my new computer.

[calm crow]

I doubt a 3060 but it is possible. No it’s not. But they are selling for $1kish now

[acoustic ginkgo]

With shipping? $390, give or take a bit.

[woeful perch]

ok

[hybrid kettle]

Wow actually decently priced

Hurts to see those 500 dollar 3060

[tender mulch]

Probs EVGA or Zotac

Those prices are still reasonable

[acoustic ginkgo]

Yeah, won the shuffle Tuesday.

[cosmic swift]

flexes luck

Lmao

[acoustic ginkgo]

Now I'm "Help! I have no idea what to buy now since my plans have been on hiatus since last year." Figuring out the other components is tricky.

[hybrid kettle]

Yeah gpu first is better tho

So you don’t just have pc that you can’t use sitting on your desk looking sad

[acoustic ginkgo]

Well, technically I've had a case, RGB fans, and a monitor since last year. Before the GPU shortage put my plans on hold.

[hybrid kettle]

What budget are you thinking for the rest of the computer?

Like 500?

Could probably get 11400, mobo ram ssd, psu for 600 bucks

Or less

[acoustic ginkgo]

I'm thinking and I got some good suggestions yesterday when I was asking. Definitely found the RAM I'm getting.

[woeful perch]

you could go 5600x

[hybrid kettle]

It’s like 300 bucks lol

[woeful perch]

Ik

[hybrid kettle]

For 3060 id reccomend 11400 + b560

300 for cpu + mobo combined

[acoustic ginkgo]

5600x is what I'm thinking. I am of the sort that doesn't upgrade often and that would likely be what I use for the next four or five years.

[woeful perch]

thats why I'm choosing it

[vital pivot]

I suggest you grab the ram ASAP. Those prices are going to be a lot higher very soon

[heady turtle]

For the next 5 years imo a 8 core will become the new 6 core soon but if you can't afford 5800x then 5600x will do

[silent ibex]

newegg shuffle 25 minutes

[green harness]

That 3080 bundle 😬

Gigabyte is all about those bundles

[spare salmon]

how so?

[heady turtle]

Well just the way as quad core used to be the mainstream but then 6 core became the main core count etc etc, developers and stuff will start using the more cores in systems as programs get more complicated and stuff

[spare salmon]

most popular games can still run off of 4 core CPUs. prices have decreased enough for 6c 12th CPUs to become affordable, but i doubt 8c 16th will be a "necessity" for most PC builds

and i hope that programs will be better optimized and efficient rather than just requiring more cores and threads

[terse patrol]

Right!!?!?! "We have all these expensive Motherboards nobody wants to buy. What should we do with them?" . . . "Add it to that newegg shuffle"

[heady turtle]

Not that you won't be able to run on 6 cores just the way no you're able to run most games on 4 core, but that they'll be able to make more complex things that utilise the extra cores and it will just be the minimum for a mid tier build

[green harness]

I suppose it's better than bundling inadequate/shoddy PSUs with high end gpus, but adding $600 to a card with the bundle is nuts

[acoustic ermine]

Why the hell is there a bundle with two mice?!?

[terse patrol]

One for gaming, one for mas.. cant be getting that gaming mouse sticky

[green harness]

Maybe people need a backup for when they RQ

[terse patrol]

It is corded. I've done some mouse whipping in my day

[acoustic ermine]

[hearty creek]

Best card for 400 bucks?

[tender mulch]

3060/3060TI

[coarse spindle]

Wait a second

If AMD/Nvidia made a GPU with 4gb vram but aggressively tuned clocks

Like a 3080- the vram

Wouldn’t we get a GPU that could be available

And fast

[calm crow]

scalpers say no

Miners say no

[hearty creek]

Everything is out of stock

[calm crow]

You may be able to get a 1050ti for under 400...

[steel smelt]

Finally got a 3070, had to get the TUF model due to availablity, and it's about 1inch to long for my build. Only way I might be able to get it to fit is to remove one of my intake fans. But then I'm worried it'll get to warm. Guess the struggle never stops lol

[calm crow]

I’m sure you can try it out or simply move the fan else where.

[steel smelt]

Not really anywhere else in the case to put an intake. Plus I never like the idea of a GPU not being sent cool air by a fan.

[steep cobalt]

This is Janky, but put the fan on the outside of the case

[heady turtle]

Acc it's not profitable to mine on a 4gb card, for Ethereum minimum is 4.5gb ram atm i believe

[calm crow]

Hype then

[heady turtle]

Should be fine, just make an agressive fan curve in afterburner if you're worried

[steep cobalt]

Remember, a 4GB card isn't good for gaming nowadays. You need at least 8GB for most AAA titles

[heady turtle]

Wasn't talking about gaming but you can just easily play most games 1080 low

[steep cobalt]

Yeah, but if I'm spending $400+ I would want high settings

[calm crow]

yuh my 1050ti is doing great with triple A games on low. yup if it were msrp same but that’s not what it is at the moment

[heady turtle]

Didn't say anything about price, if anything it would be like a 150 200 card if it did have 4gb I'd say they wouldn't put less then 5 on tho

[heady turtle]

Just upgraded from an r9 380 4gb and i don't play triple A but was 200ish fps in games like overwatch, bout 350 in valorant and hundreds of frames in Minecraft high settings

[calm crow]

Yuh same. I was running valorant max settings at 230fps

And I play total war:Warhammer 2 at medium settings at 60fps , civ 6 max settings at 60fps. I dunno if those are triple A games.

[vital pivot]

My toaster can get 300fps on CSgo

Back when I played counter strikes with a ping at 150ms and playing at 20-30 FPS we thought that was the bomb.

Today’s Gamers do not know how well they have it compare to the OG Gamers.

[heady turtle]

lmao

[remote plover]

did anyone get into the newegg shuffle?

[vital pivot]

Yeah

Notifications for winners typically go out in about 30 mins.

[silent ibex]

I entered. first round emails should have gone out at 4:00, if not purchased second round about 6:00

central standard time... i am in oklahoma

I got 1 of my chosen emails right at the start of the email time... my other one was exactly 2 hours after the first wave of emails

I am also guessing that if there is anything left a 3rd round and possibly a 4th. but I doubt anything worth buying makes it that far.

[vital pivot]

I have never received a winning notification before 5pm CST.

[mild ruin]

I have never received a winning notification

[strong stag]

I use a 4gb 1650 super for my gaming and I get 100fps on medium aaa games

For cyberpunk right now I’m averaging 60 FPS on medium

[vital pivot]

Noooo

[acoustic ginkgo]

... Did you not win what you wanted?

[brisk flame]

haha, you now feel obligated to pay money

newegg: 1
consumer: 0

[acoustic ginkgo]

I mean, you don't have to buy it if you changed your mind. They'll just move on to the next person in the list.

[brisk flame]

"feel obligated"

not "forced to pay"

dont read into my attempts at humor just move on plz

[tender mulch]

Oh snap

[brisk flame]

2200 dollars for a GPU is really insane

i keep forgetting thats what they cost now

[vital pivot]

Yeah

All@I want is a freaking evga 3080

[brisk flame]

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

[vital pivot]

With tax and shipping. $2400

[brisk flame]

i like this

when you select the Price Performance graph, the 3090 is the worst lmao

aside from the quadro cards

[vital pivot]

Yeah I know. Trust me

[brisk flame]

yeah

[vital pivot]

Wife said no.

[brisk flame]

lmaooo

[vital pivot]

Lol considering I got one of those $800 PS5 from a shuffle and earlier this week

Which was $901 w:tax/shipping

Anyway. I’m passing. Hopefully the guy wins it.

[foggy moth]

Someone knows if I entered my first time with multiple accounts to the shuffle accidentally, I can still win or I'm banned

[tender mulch]

Need to be in the US and multiple accounts probs won't help you. They check those things. As to the last part, no one knows

[foggy moth]

What I should do :(

[heady turtle]

not enter with multiple accounts under same name

[fossil crow]

Hello it's me again.. sorry for the same old questions.. okay so my question is i am told this PC is better than the other one i had purchased. Give me a moment to bring out links.

https://www.newegg.com/msi-aegis-rs-9td-082us/p/N82E16883152736?item=N82E16883152736

I replace this with this

https://www.newegg.com/skytech-st-shiva-0128/p/N82E16883289092?item=N82E16883289092

[tall yew]

i wanna win the lottery so i can buy a scalped 3080 rog strix

[fossil crow]

Overall this PC is better yes? Now my second question is i am pairing it with this monitor to bring out its graphics so is this a great pair or no?

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018?item=N82E16824012018

[tender mulch]

Great monitor

Go for it

[vital pivot]

Yeah

[fossil crow]

So i should notice a huge difference than my original troubleshooting?

[narrow osprey]

Is it so much to ask for a Asus 3060 that’s isn’t $500 above msrp? 😭

[boreal hawk]

Me sitting here with a 970 for the last 5 months because I can’t get a 3070 or 3080 for a good price

😔

[tender mulch]

970 still decent tho

[narrow osprey]

dude i dont even have a card

my first build has to be in corona season

why?

[boreal hawk]

Same

I went without a card for awhile because I couldn’t find one but then I got fed up with not being able to do anything

[narrow osprey]

i have a cheap laptop with vega 3

pretty baller i guess

[boreal hawk]

Lol

[narrow osprey]

and the sad thing is that i have a 5600X

and i cant use

[boreal hawk]

Yeah I have a 10900k and I have a 970

It’s rough

[narrow osprey]

same here

pretty big bottle neck

[boreal hawk]

Yep

Plus I’m in Canada so I can’t do the raffle

[narrow osprey]

what 10900 do u have?

and thats tuf

[tender mulch]

There's only one 10900K lol

[boreal hawk]

Lol

[narrow osprey]

i dont use intel nor do i care

[boreal hawk]

Damn

[narrow osprey]

I have embarrassed myself,

[boreal hawk]

All good

I was going to get a 10700 but the 10900 was $150 off

[narrow osprey]

oh

I went to Microcenter to get my 5600 and didnt realize the 5800 was $150 off

[boreal hawk]

Yeah

[narrow osprey]

very painful learning that

[tender mulch]

wait what

[narrow osprey]

?

[tender mulch]

5800x for $300?

[narrow osprey]

yup

i kow

[tender mulch]

wat

[narrow osprey]

know*

[tender mulch]

I'm 21 hours away from a Microcenter lol

XD

[narrow osprey]

very sad

and i think it was 350

but still

[tender mulch]

OH that's spoop

They're advertising it RN for $650 marked down to 429

MSRP is 449

Shady as heck -_-

https://www.microcenter.com/product/630284/amd-ryzen-7-5800x-vermeer-38ghz-8-core-am4-boxed-processor

[narrow osprey]

yup

[tender mulch]

Nah, that's just wrong

I don't like

MSRP isn't $649

Poo on them

[narrow osprey]

it doesnt say that for me

[narrow osprey]

oh that is weird

[tender mulch]

Ya lol

[narrow osprey]

they also say the 5600 is 450 marked down to 300

[boreal hawk]

Didn’t you say 5600x earlier?

[narrow osprey]

yes i have one

Why do you ask?

[summer condor]

must've been a typo

doesn't show higher price for me

just 429.99

[narrow osprey]

scroll down and look at the to[

top*

[heady turtle]

drives to micro center anyway

[narrow osprey]

fr tho

i live by the Westmont store

[tender mulch]

For a $300 5800x you bet

[heady turtle]

XD

Hell I'd fly to America for one for that price XD

Whack that the saying the cpus 150 off but just upping the price 150

[narrow osprey]

Idk why people are having a hard time finding a 5000 series cause there was like 30 5600

at least where i live lol

[tender mulch]

They aren't hard to find

GPU's are

[narrow osprey]

true

i know from experience

[tender mulch]

I got so lucky with my 3070

Jan 5th right before the price increase

[narrow osprey]

luck

[tender mulch]

Lots of luck

Best buy drop

[heady turtle]

30 in stock aint a lot and that's at ons store lol but 5600x and 5800x stock ntb now just the ryzen 9s

[summer condor]

you're right, that

thats a little strange

[narrow osprey]

on offerup, I see a 3060 for $2000 and its the Asus $330 card (forgot model)

[narrow osprey]

yeah i see that now

[tender mulch]

Gross

Scalpers suck

[narrow osprey]

yup

ebay is worse

[summer condor]

a 10700k is only 269 from them

thats a good deal\

[narrow osprey]

ye

[heady turtle]

If you only gaming coughing up an extra 30 for a 5600x better but if 2 extra cores worth it, just pay a small bit more and get a 10850k for 300 from micro

[narrow osprey]

I was gonna buy the 3700 but i dont need the cores tbh

[tender mulch]

5600x spanks it in day to day use anyway

I have a 3700x but skipping 5000 series

Don't need it

[narrow osprey]

darn right

[summer condor]

two more cores is just better invested to me

especially when i get into video editing soon, sad i dont have a nvidia gpu for that nvenc

[heady turtle]

Then cough up small bit more, get 10 cores 10850k like 320 from micro center

No hyperthreading

[narrow osprey]

0_0

[heady turtle]

Fair

[narrow osprey]

true but its kinda the norm now

[heady turtle]

I thought you said you did do streaming etc read wrong

[heady turtle]

Only the 9900k had it for 9th gen

[narrow osprey]

):

[heady turtle]

Why tho :/ big f

[narrow osprey]

eh just go ryzen

[heady turtle]

Depends on budget, intel wins on budget, 10400 and 11400 are really good and if you need more cores on budget, 10900 and 10850k(especially if you wanna oc) is better for you but intel wins single core and multi core but cost more

[narrow osprey]

True

cant argue with that

Just everyone is using that budget build, 3600 2060 super asrock b450 16g ram 128g ssd 1tb hdd

just super basic

or switch the 2060 with a 1660 super

[narrow osprey]

Why is ur current one so bad

Her*

[lone pond]

[torpid basalt]

Good pride for rn. Was looking and saw one from gigabyte going for $900, bought mine a few weeks ago for $450

[lone pond]

yeah its good 👍

[vital pivot]

Congrats warping

Err @lone pond

I knew you win.

[lone pond]

thanks

[narrow osprey]

Why can't I have gpu? It's painful every time I see my friends pc, with his 3060 TI FE. When will the shortage end 😭

[vital pivot]

Not anytime soon

[lone pond]

keep trying dont give up lol you should camp on drops if you wanna get it from retailer . if you don't have enough time newegg shuffle is your best bet

[idle pendant]

Looking for a graphics card. Any recommendation on good ones and where i can buy one at 👀

[heady turtle]

Depends on price and if you can afford anything new(350 min if you're lucky) try newegg shuffle, stalk best buy or else you gotta try get something reasonableish on ebay

Not a great time to get gpus

[idle pendant]

I have heard 😓

[heady turtle]

Well if you're looking for a card under 100 r9 380 4gb on eBay okay for 75 or so

[grizzled nimbus]

ive already told you not to recommend r9 cards

i really dont

r9 380 is almost 200w lamo

i'd jsut wait for gpus to go down

[vital leaf]

ohhh I see but it's fine to recommend a 970 tho right if cheap?

[grizzled nimbus]

ye actually

faster than the 290x and 390

[grizzled nimbus]

thats the cheapest one

[spare relic]

Nvidia cards of that era are lower power which is nice

[grizzled nimbus]

lower power you should say

[spare relic]

2014 tho not 2015 like the 380

[vital leaf]

Ok and you have nothing regarding it's power consumption even when it's the same as a 380X but you have issues with a 380X...
https://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph9784/78761.png

nice

[grizzled nimbus]

funny how the gtx 970 has a 148w tdp and im going purely off of rated

[vital leaf]

great job going off of the TDP

when the actual power consumption varies

[grizzled nimbus]

too lazy to look up benches chill lmao

literally i just look them up on tpu

[spare relic]

Total system power consumption, doesn't that include the CPU, mobo, etc?

[grizzled nimbus]

no need to get all tilted about it

[grizzled nimbus]

also this

[vital leaf]

yes and it's the same system used

the same components both with a 970 and 380X

and they consume the same amount

so logically both the GPU's do too

[spare relic]

That makes the r9s not seem so thirsty

[vital leaf]

but 380 is not worth 75 bucks, I agree with @grizzled nimbus

[grizzled nimbus]

that just makes nvida's 150w tdp claim wrong lmao

[spare relic]

Lol

[vital leaf]

I would buy a 970/1060/570/480 for around 100 USD

simply because of the pure rasterization performance

it's around ~20% better

I used to own a 380X wayyy back in the day

[spare relic]

Can't find them for that price on eBay

[dreamy dragon]

Decks#5664 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[spare relic]

They're all around 200-250 or so

[vital leaf]

because eBay is bad*

look on other sites such as Hardwareswap and FB marketplace etc

@spare relic here
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1052256401925193/

1060 for 100 bucks

hence FB marketplace is better

[grizzled nimbus]

thats a rare deal rn lol

[vital leaf]

I see lots like it

I also see a 570 for 115 USD

and a 970 for 118 USD

similar pricing

[grizzled nimbus]

but thats also not shipping

[vital leaf]

included

[torpid garden]

Search sold + completed https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=970+gtx&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1

[grizzled nimbus]

^

[sage star]

where can we get updates about gpu drops?

[torpid garden]

ofc ebay will be more expensive than other markets, but IME it still shows the trend

[vital leaf]

I only see a single thing that I would have bought
https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GTX-970/143977189002?hash=item2185b58e8a:g:UUkAAOSwAblgTP0h

all other 970's are roughly 180 USD including shipping

this one is 115

[grizzled nimbus]

115 is kinda blegh for a 970

[vital leaf]

it's fine you won't get much better than it other than a 1060 3GB on eBay or a 570 for slightly lower

[grizzled nimbus]

when 570s were going for 80$ that deal wouldve sucked

[torpid garden]

Not in today's market

[grizzled nimbus]

also 1060 3gb is worse than that lmao

[vital leaf]

never even said it's better

[grizzled nimbus]

"better than that other than a 1060 3gb"

[vital leaf]

better deals

not better as in pure rasterization performance

[grizzled nimbus]

then you said slightly higher

so you meant better performance no?

[vital leaf]

I meant lower

a typo

[grizzled nimbus]

wat

whatever

[vital leaf]

for slightly lower prices*

[grizzled nimbus]

no idea why the 1060 3gb exists tbh

[torpid garden]

because people wanted pascal performance on pre 2016 games

[spare relic]

Probably not too different a reason as the 1650, 1650 GDDR6, and 1650 Super

[torpid garden]

Remember that was a $250 card

[grizzled nimbus]

thing is the 1650 gddr5 doesnt have 2/3 the cuda cores of a 1650 g6

it wouldve been ok if it had the same cuda

noppe

[spare relic]

They do?

[grizzled nimbus]

nope

[spare relic]

896/56/32

[grizzled nimbus]

ah its not 2/3 im thinking of another card

its 1152 vs 1280

[spare relic]

Interesting

[lone pond]

my gpu bloow uppppp

Ever since I installed the re-BAR VBIOS "successfully" I have:

1. Not been able to enable it in BIOS without getting booped into a black screen
2. most importantly: Getting constant BSODs while in Zoom calls for school, which went online this week.
   Here are the dumps from my most recent BSODs during Theory of Knowledge class this morning:

• 3060Ti Founders Edition (no overclocks)
• ASRock B560 Pro4
• 2x8GB 3200MHz RAM (G.Skill Ripjaws)
• ASUS VG245 and ASUS VP228 (no GSync/FreeSync, connected thru HDMI)
• Everything is adequately cooled (under 70° at max load)
• Windows 10 Home 202H (not debloated, though a few things removed like XBox Game Bar)

I have already tried a DDU in safe mode and updated to the latest NVIDIA drivers.
The only thing that's recently changed is having updated my GPU to the resizable BAR firmware, and not being able to actually enable it in BIOS (black screen) so I have it off. Yes, I have checked that CSM is off.

At this point I don't really care about re-BAR but more about being able to attend classes. This morning I had to be let back in four times in the span of 40 min of class.

[heady turtle]

Their way more expensive usually, floppa only sent 1 pic, ive seen them selll for way less as I'm selling mine atm and looked at the sold tab, at least for Europe

[vital leaf]

it was a joke lol

I just wanted to see what he would think about a 970

[heady turtle]

So you can easily run on a 500w psu

Ahh

[vital leaf]

he called the 380X a power hog but not a 970 with the same power consumption hence I asked him "his thoughts on a 970"

[heady turtle]

Ahh okay yes

[heady turtle]

Is it supported on b460 boards on the nvidia side? I don't think it is tbh

[unborn sedge]

I have a b560 board

[heady turtle]

Ohh you said b460

[unborn sedge]

ohh whoops

fixed, thanks

[heady turtle]

Idk but i mean why do you even bother with resizeable bar? SAM is the only tech worth it

[tight goblet]

3060 ti at msrp or 5700xt at msrp?

[heady turtle]

3060 ti but you won't be able to get 5700xt at msrp, 3060 ti you might be able to if you can stalk best buy but if you're looking at ebay they're deff scams for msrp

[unborn sedge]

Well, re-bar is still a performance bump. But as I said at this point I don't really care about re-BAR but more about being able to attend classes without crashing four times per 45-min Zoom call.

[heady turtle]

Oof that's not good

[unborn sedge]

I downgraded the VBIOS to before the resizable BAR patch and it appears to be stable? I got through math class unscathed.

[heady turtle]

Nice

[unborn sedge]

Gonna try bumping OCs back up slowly.

[heady turtle]

Good idea

Use furmark for gpu testing if you're worried about stability

[unborn sedge]

What's weird is, FurMark/Kombustor ran with no problem for multiple hours with all OCs turned up after the fw update

And then it would BSOD randomly while using my PC (very rarely) for a few days. Then, school went online and it started doing it consistently 3-4 times per class.

[heady turtle]

Sounds like it could have been a cpu stability thing then?

[unborn sedge]

Maybe? I ran prime95 for an hour with no problems (temps stayed under 60° somehow)

[heady turtle]

Hmm

Did you test ram?

[unborn sedge]

And after downgrading the GPU's VBIOS it seems (?) to be fixed

[heady turtle]

Okay then

[unborn sedge]

Nope, maybe I should tho

One thing that's sus is that I have my two sticks in the two middle slots

Because the cooler is too fat

[heady turtle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[heady turtle]

Dont have the 2 ram sticks in the 2 middle slots, do furthest away from cpu then leave gap then next stick

[vernal needle]

or... look at the manual on your Mobo. It usually tells you the stick configurations....

[heady turtle]

Well i haven't seen one that doesn't recommend the furthest away then leave a slot then next furthest away from cpu

[junior veldt]

I've been looking to build a PC (first time but pretty good with computers) and I've had the hardest time finding a graphics card. I'm looking for preferable a sub-$500 card, & I did a lot of research without finding much. The best option I found was some NVIDIA GTX 1650 Supers at sub-500, but I don't know how good they really are. Can anyone help me?

[tender mulch]

You're going to have to be very patient

All GPU's are expensive right now because of demand

[junior veldt]

Yep

[tender mulch]

But a 1650 for anything more than $150 is a ripoff

[junior veldt]

Wow

It was a 1650 super though

[tender mulch]

Yeah, the performance on those is kinda low

[junior veldt]

hm

[heady turtle]

Nothing more than 200 for 1650s

[tender mulch]

For the price of a new 3060TI

[junior veldt]

Wow

[heady turtle]

Yep

[junior veldt]

Yeah I'll check again in a few months LMAO thanks guys

[tender mulch]

Sorry

[heady turtle]

3070 if you can get a founders edition from best buy if you manage to get before the bots do

[tender mulch]

The market just sucks right now

[junior veldt]

I didn't realize the shortage/tariffs were that bad

[tender mulch]

Not shortage

Demand

230+ million PC's were shipped last year

And that doesn't count parts!

[heady turtle]

But this is unrealistic 3060 ti deff possible tho

[junior veldt]

There's a shortage because of the demand

[junior veldt]

Thanks

[heady turtle]

No production at all time high just demand at all time higher XD

[junior veldt]

So true

So horribly true

[heady turtle]

All the silicon manufacturers running at 100%

[junior veldt]

probably more like 150%

at this point

[tender mulch]

I mean, something like 9 million GPU's produced last quarter by nVidia

[junior veldt]

ikr

I saw that too

[tender mulch]

PC sales up 26%

[heady turtle]

Someone needs to be sent back to math class XD

[tender mulch]

It's just nuts

[junior veldt]

Yeah

[dense panther]

you can try to get one with newegg shuffle

[junior veldt]

Believe me

I am

[dense panther]

or wait for 3080ti/3070ti launch and register as fast as you can on evga queue

[heady turtle]

Bad idea

[dense panther]

no

[junior veldt]

Why would it be a bad idea?

[tender mulch]

What launch. Those are still paper products lol.

[dense panther]

i got a 3060 like that i registered 1 min after launch and got for msrp 2 days later

[heady turtle]

Doesn't fit in their budget anyway

[junior veldt]

How much would it cost

[tender mulch]

Those launches don't exist yet, pricing doesn't exist, and the product doesn't exist yet except on paper

[heady turtle]

But the 3080 ti is gonna be so expensive

[dense panther]

3070ti

[tender mulch]

That's not a thing.........

[junior veldt]

How much do you guys think it would cost

[dense panther]

it is

[junior veldt]

3070 ti or whatever

[heady turtle]

3080 ti gonna be 850 min for founders edition I'd say

[junior veldt]

oohf

[tender mulch]

it's not a thing yet lol

[junior veldt]

ok

[tender mulch]

They don't exist

[heady turtle]

This tho

[dense panther]

@tender mulch i know

i said wait for them to launch

[heady turtle]

And there's not even rumours for a 3070 ti

[tender mulch]

Yup

[dense panther]

there are

[heady turtle]

Be waiting a long time

[junior veldt]

I'm gonna just wait like 6-12 months to see if I can get some better deals

[tender mulch]

Just because vendors have SKU's for them doesn't mean it will happen lol

[junior veldt]

In the meantime, thanks for the help

[heady turtle]

Just 3080 ti rumours

[tender mulch]

happens all the time, they make SKU's just in case then it never happens

It's all clickbait at this point

[dense panther]

it will happen

[heady turtle]

You could also try get a 6700xt direct from amd, they're supposed to restock every week

[heady turtle]

Unless you're Jenson himself you don't know

[dense panther]

6700xt are going for like 800$ 🤣

[tender mulch]

Every GPU is overpriced

I got my 3070 for 559

Look at them now

[heady turtle]

From amd.com they're going for msrp that's why i said direct from msrp

[dense panther]

at least nvidia you can mine with them to reduce the price you paid them at

[heady turtle]

You can still mine with amd cards

[dense panther]

they suck

[heady turtle]

Not as good, but will be better than any knew Nvidia gpus because of the limiters

[dense panther]

i build a pc for my family with a 3060 and its going to be paid by its self in 78 days

you cant do that with amd cards

[heady turtle]

Yes you can just might take bit longer

[dense panther]

the gpu limites is a joke

[heady turtle]

Well yes but that means you gotta run that one leaked driver version

[hybrid kettle]

That’s a lie it’s going to take longer than that lol

[heady turtle]

Also you make slightly more with the 6800 than 3070

[hybrid kettle]

3060 can’t mine that well

Ok

[dense panther]

no im not lying

[heady turtle]

True, they only get 30ish mhs

[hybrid kettle]

But not 3060ti level

[hybrid kettle]

Wait actually that’s garbage

[dense panther]

i get 48mhs

[heady turtle]

On leaked driver?

[dense panther]

yeah

[hybrid kettle]

You may be able to pay for your gpu in 5 months

Not the rest of the computer

[tender mulch]

3070 = 60 mh/s = $180 a month

[heady turtle]

Well you can't expect everyone to run a leaked driver, and that probs won't work with any new gpus as they'll try fix that

[tender mulch]

48 mh/s is less so.....not sure how you're getting 1.5 months to pay it back

[hybrid kettle]

My 3060ti hits 60 mh/s but I don’t run it all the time cause I want to play games lol

[heady turtle]

Yeah

[heady turtle]

And that assumes you're just mining and never turn it off to game

[tender mulch]

3060 is $120 a month

MSRP is $329 for the cheap ones

So 3 months

?

[hybrid kettle]

Only if you don’t stop it

[tender mulch]

Right

[hybrid kettle]

Which is not their use case so no

[heady turtle]

Idk but they think ppl will be able to bypass mining limiter easy on any new nvidia cards, also running older drives means you're not getting game ready drivers

Which means worse perf in some cases

[junior veldt]

Would be it be a good idea to get a really good graphics card in the future and pay more for it but run it for bitcoin mining when I'm not using it so it pays itself off eventually?

[brisk swan]

3060ti= 50 to 55=130 to 140

[tender mulch]

wat

[hybrid kettle]

Nah my 3060ti hits 60.5 mhs

[tender mulch]

Regular 3060

not 3060TI

You can mine on them with the leaked driver

$4 a day

[brisk swan]

Hmm not good

3060ti better

[tender mulch]

Of course

But the GPU nVidia said you couldn't mine on you can XD

[heady turtle]

3060 ti just as good as 3070 for mining

[hybrid kettle]

Yeah 3060 has slower memory

[tender mulch]

They did an oopsie

[hybrid kettle]

So it mines worse

[junior veldt]

lol

[brisk swan]

Yep 3060ti has the best value

[heady turtle]

If you can find a 3060 ti tho

And 3070 better for gaming tho

[brisk swan]

Hmm. Whats your crad?

[hybrid kettle]

3060ti are rarer on shuffles than 3070 or 3060

[heady turtle]

Yeah

[hybrid kettle]

Founders Edition

[heady turtle]

In general i believe

[hybrid kettle]

Yeah true

[brisk swan]

Hmmm. Perfect.

[heady turtle]

I wanted 3060/ti but could only find 3070

[tender mulch]

That's my 3070

[hybrid kettle]

Nice

[heady turtle]

Damm how'd you get to 68mhs

[hybrid kettle]

Big oc

[heady turtle]

I only got 61ish

[tender mulch]

It fluctuates

[heady turtle]

Ive +1300 mem tho

[brisk swan]

Overclocked?

[hybrid kettle]

His might be factory oc already

[heady turtle]

Ofc

[tender mulch]

me too and -512 core and a few other things

[heady turtle]

Yeah, mb you just won silicon lottery

[tender mulch]

Yep

pretty much

It's not always that high though

But regularly over 60

[hybrid kettle]

I should prob spend the time to figure out max settings I can do

[heady turtle]

So is mine slightly but i have diff profile in afterburner for mining ofc

[tender mulch]

Yup

I have a gaming and mining profile

[hybrid kettle]

I just use +1200 mem and -500 core

[brisk swan]

Do you have giga card?

[heady turtle]

Do - 502 core

[heady turtle]

Gigabyte yeah

[hybrid kettle]

Maybe repad it

[brisk swan]

Coz of that. I think

[heady turtle]

Mem temps are okay tho

[hybrid kettle]

What power limit

[heady turtle]

I'm going off hotspot in hw info/touch of metal backplate but i have agressive fans to compenstate

65%

[brisk swan]

Msi and asus have the best cards but the price of them

[heady turtle]

I could prob oc mem more tbh

[hybrid kettle]

I always run my card at 100% fan speed when mining cause theirs only two fans lol

[heady turtle]

I've a 3 fan card

I run 100% fans when not in room/during day then 70% at night

[hybrid kettle]

Why less at night?

[heady turtle]

So i don't blow my ears out while sleeping

[hybrid kettle]

Oh in your room

[heady turtle]

Yeh

[hybrid kettle]

My pc in is my houses office

So I can blast all night but I can’t really mine during the day

Cause my mom trying to do work

[heady turtle]

Fair fair

Advantages and disadvantages

Does do a nice job at keeping room warm during night tho

[hybrid kettle]

That would be bad for me it’s hot

At night

[heady turtle]

Not hot just warm

See i live in Ireland so cold until summer

[hybrid kettle]

I live in the state known for heat so it’s hot in April

[heady turtle]

Arizona XD?

[hybrid kettle]

Yes

[heady turtle]

Lmao dessert

Big f

[hybrid kettle]

Yeah only cactus and palm trees bois (jk there’s other trees too)

But really only small bushes and trees

[heady turtle]

Oof

[hybrid kettle]

Ayy high of 33.5 c today lol

[heady turtle]

👀

For me

[hybrid kettle]

Oof that’s chilly

[tender mulch]

45 F?

It's not bad

[heady turtle]

No idea what that is in farenheit

[hybrid kettle]

It’s gets down to 45 f like 2 weeks of the year.

[heady turtle]

That's with the sun out tho

[hybrid kettle]

Has never gone below like a 30 degree f low

[heady turtle]

Dam

[simple stirrup]

Hi

[dense panther]

i paid it at msrp i got it 3 weeks ago and i maid already 105$

imma pay it in 78days

[heady turtle]

You're not making 5$ a day on a 3060

[tender rapids]

no good gpus today

😒

[wispy drift]

what would yall say is a fair price for a 1060 6gb in today's market

[heady turtle]

I'd say 300 unfortunately

Realistic? Idk

[vital pivot]

I’m making $4-5 a day on a 3060

[foggy moth]

@tender rapids I know :(

[buoyant basin]

Mining ?

How is the elecc bill ?

[vital pivot]

I dunno

[buoyant basin]

You do not pay for it, right ?

[vital pivot]

Just started almost 2 weeks ago

[buoyant basin]

Ah !

Well, hopefully it comes out profitable.

[heady turtle]

Well it's gonna be profitable to mine on anything from the last few years, even an rx 580 can still make 2$ a day or so in profit

[buoyant basin]

Depends on how hard the bills drop.

I don't know if that would work where I live.

And I'm too lazy to do the math right now.

[heady turtle]

https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator

[queen prairie]

man

shuffle today is lame

[dense panther]

i am making around 5$

@heady turtle it doesnt count that the gpu is unlock

[buoyant basin]

Ah bah.... thanks 😂

Only 24€ of elecc a month.

[heady turtle]

Ntb

[buoyant basin]

I was expecting far more.

[heady turtle]

Don't mine on your cpu tho

Not worth

[buoyant basin]

Oh ?

[dense panther]

true

[buoyant basin]

I thought it was just taking GPU into account.

[heady turtle]

With unlocked and no electricity bills you should be making around 4$ but not 5

[buoyant basin]

that CPU was only because we wouldn't want a bottleneck on the GPU.

[heady turtle]

Just put your gpu in manually

It's a good cpu just not worth mining on

[buoyant basin]

Well, it was just a test afterall, you could tell that from my nickname XD

[heady turtle]

Mining on cpu means you also cant use your pc for not gaming tasks and mine at the same time

[buoyant basin]

I will not be making this much anyway, and I will not be upgrading any time soon.

[heady turtle]

Fair

[queen prairie]

are you guys talking about mining?

=))

[buoyant basin]

Yeah, that makes sense.

We are

[queen prairie]

good luck

I got 100x and that is all I need

in the game since 2011

[buoyant basin]

OOOOOOOOUAAAAH

Got rid of the CPU and that changed nothing XD

[heady turtle]

You get what?

[heady turtle]

Yeah the cpu was just breaking even lol

[buoyant basin]

100 3060Ti

[queen prairie]

in the past was Antshare which was NEO

then in 2017 went for LINK

and mana

whatever I mined converted to those

[heady turtle]

Booooooooooo dont steal gpus from gamers to make mining farm

:(

[queen prairie]

I dont

[buoyant basin]

Well, technically, it's 0,01 € less profitable, but at least, the CPU can keep working on something else.

[queen prairie]

I am no longer mining

but I would say

[heady turtle]

Ahh okay

[queen prairie]

proof os stake is the future

[heady turtle]

Yeah

[queen prairie]

ETH 2.0 would change much thing

this Proof of work is just stupid

[heady turtle]

I'm just mining to get free gpu

[queen prairie]

electricity is crazy

and the pool got hacked several time

back in 2017

my friend mining farm got hacked

and lost 200 BTC

after he got through it and get back what he lost, he sold his GTX mining gig

now I think it is much more safe

[buoyant basin]

However, no matter how profitable mining on a 3060Ti with 1.8€ a kWh might be for the miner, it is still ruining the environment.

[queen prairie]

yes

unless you do it in Artica

North or South Pole

[buoyant basin]

Yeah, I'm a bit far from Artica.

[queen prairie]

if not then dont mine

not worth it

the card need to repaste

and maintain to be able to function normal

early on when harsh level is low you can do it

but now

[buoyant basin]

I live in southern France, summer can get pretty warm here (like 43°C during dog days, more like 37°C in average)

[queen prairie]

only big farm profit

[buoyant basin]

I could put my PC in the fridge :D

Oh wait...

[queen prairie]

lol

people tried

check the Linustech

the tested

back in 2017

or Zaytwcents

[buoyant basin]

I did not watch that video XD

[queen prairie]

not worth it

the best

is

get the carton box

[buoyant basin]

And well, it's basic physics.

[queen prairie]

cover the rig, and have air flow 1 direction

with big fan blow 1 end to other end

low cost but effective

I got my rig of 20 cards like that and works pretty cool back at the day

now I am an investor, done with that mining work

[buoyant basin]

The like of which you see in avengers movies with the Shield's Airship and those big-a** helix.

[queen prairie]

[buoyant basin]

You put one helix on each end of your carton box.

One sucking, the other blowing.

[queen prairie]

yeah

pretty much

low cost

easy maintain

high effective

[buoyant basin]

And I finally get good airflow in my apartment that has only one window, which causes me to suffocate in summer XD

I will need stones to put on my furnitures, though, or they are going to fly around.

[queen prairie]

primitive people survived

lol

stone works

[buoyant basin]

Primitive people were not living in closed apartments, and they more likely did not not know global warming and its implications ^^'

[torn anchor]

does anyone know where to get a graphics card for a ok price

[buoyant basin]

By how everyone sounds at the time, you can draw a cross on the "ok price".

Why not try to scalp ?

[acoustic ermine]

Sadly, only radeons for the shuffle today

[raven thunder]

atm whats the best gpu that isnt overpriced?

[pine grove]

on this website?

or in general?

[raven thunder]

in general ig

[pine grove]

AMD shop still sells their GPUs at msrp but is really hard to get a hold of em

[raven thunder]

alright suggestions?

[pine grove]

pray to god and keep looking

[raven thunder]

lmao ok

thanks

which one specifically?

[buoyant basin]

Only 2€ a day with my 1660S 😦

[pine grove]

They only restock the 6000 series atm (6700 XT - 6900XT) whether they will bring back some older models to combat the gpu shortage like Nvidia is doing is yet to be seen.

[karmic crag]

have you been asleep for the past 6 months

[fossil talon]

Lmao facts

[heady turtle]

That's ntb if you just leave it to mine while you not gaming still money

[halcyon plover]

@heady turtle hi, just wondering what is your hotspot temp while mining ? Just Want to know since we have same model.

[heady turtle]

i believe around 60 or so wbu?

i cant remember tho

ill chekc in a few

[woeful perch]

wait are you a crypto miner? (all the time... with a mining rig)

[heady turtle]

No full time moner is using a 1650 super lol

Or 1660*

[buoyant basin]

I am not a crypto, non.

[woeful perch]

ok

[buoyant basin]

I was just being curious

[woeful perch]

good

gaming and mining on the side is fine

and pretty smart

[buoyant basin]

Even with a mining efficient machine, I would not.

[woeful perch]

the bad people are the ones that buy a bunch of gpu's, only to mine

if you don't do that it's cool

[tender mulch]

Why?

They are s small part of the demand

Very small

[woeful perch]

but they each buy like 10 cards

taking 10 cards from people for need them

[buoyant basin]

I am not what they may consider "eco-responsible person", but what I can avoid...

[woeful perch]

I know that, but it doesn't make it ok

[tender mulch]

Sure it does

They have every right to the same hardware you do

[buoyant basin]

And since it seems like a lot of people keep changing their cards for a newer one each year, I am not going to cry for them because they cannot have the latest hardware to this day.

[halcyon plover]

Yeah same 55-63

[heady turtle]

i havent seen mine that low but its 61 for me atm

[halcyon plover]

59 rn for me

[heady turtle]

but i have a nzxt s340, dw the front panel off XD

and 1 intake but i have in top slot

[halcyon plover]

I have 4000d airflow im ok with the temps tbh i see people on reddit have like 60 on the normal temp

[heady turtle]

oof thats not good

they probs just have it on auto fan curve and dont realise its not the mem gets hotter than core while minng

[halcyon plover]

Yeah i guess but still i think even 60 is fine

Nicehash says on thier site normal mining temp is 60-70. I know they dont care about our hardware but still

[heady turtle]

but thats 60 core which mem your mem is probs toasty AF

[halcyon plover]

yes like atleast 85 i would say

[heady turtle]

too much for my liking

[halcyon plover]

Yeah same i dont want mine to go over 50

Core temp^

[heady turtle]

mine does sometimes at night like to 58 but thats because i bring down fan speed at night

[woeful perch]

the problem is for people new to pcs that can't ever get their hand on a card

[buoyant basin]

This, I agree with. But it does not seem like newcomers are the many.

[woeful perch]

fair enough

I'm a newcomer sorta

but I have a friend selling me a card

[buoyant basin]

But do not get me wrong, if a newcomer can start with the best, then it is for...the best. I was just saying that I could not care less about people unable to get their hands down on a 3080 to change their 2080 SUPER because it sucks, or for cryptocurrency mining.

[wary anvil]

Good luck buying 10 cards. They have to get them through the same sources as everyone else

[heady turtle]

well i was upgrading from a r9 380, which doesnt make me a newcomer but an upgrade was needed, it was like 5.5 years old

[hoary sleet]

Good luck buying 1 card... Honestly home miners don't bother me too much. Factory miners do.

[wary anvil]

Yup

[heady turtle]

yeah i home mine on my 3070 just to make money while not gaming

[hoary sleet]

I don't mine, because my GTX 465 might actually blow up if I tried lol

[heady turtle]

lol

you would just loose money on electricity

[hoary sleet]

Yeah... that is probably the right outcome

I might as well not have a GPU though

I actually bought 2 of those from a guy who had 2 of them running in SLI lol

Got a good value, but they really aren't capable of playing much

[old steeple]

How bad are pny gpus

[tender mulch]

Not bad, they just don't overclock like the others do

Warranty support can be kinda spoop but otherwise a GPU is a GPU

[heady turtle]

if you can get for okay price just take it

[lone pond]

think this will sell for a pretty penny with everyone wanting gpu's? lol

[heady turtle]

What even is it

[wary anvil]

I dunno, but it's a single slot card with VGA and as far as I can tell no supplemental power

[heady turtle]

probs worth like 50 or something mb if on ebay bid

[wary anvil]

Radeon 7570 maybe?

[livid idol]

I was lucky enough to get an evga 3070

[wicked portal]

Waiting on the shuffle to give me a card to buy lol

[heady turtle]

nice

[umbral briar]

I was lucky to get a 3090 for msrp 3 months ago

[bitter wind]

I just order a Gigabyte RTX 3070 Aorus Master

[calm crow]

I’ll get mine in a few years

[steel bough]

Wish I was that lucky. I have never won a Newegg shuffle

[calm crow]

Same man

[sullen nest]

Shiii gg man. I’m still praying lol 😂

[sullen nest]

Yea I mean I see a lot of people claiming they win but I’ve only got a pile of rejection emails

[steel bough]

Yeah me too all the time. I mean what’s the point anymore?

[foggy moth]

@sullen nest same hahahahaha

[worn zephyr]

Found a retailer with stock on 3000 series gpus then quickly figured out why they have stock 🙄🙄

[sullen nest]

Oof

[worn zephyr]

For the 3060, 3070, and 3080 the prices are 1199.96, 1499.96, and 1799.96, respectively.

[sullen nest]

Lmaooooo 😂

Sounds about right

[heady turtle]

That's actually okay

Better than eBay rates

[sullen nest]

I saw an Xbox 360 controller used going for $999

...

[heady turtle]

3060s are selling for 90p regularly especially after the driver leam

[worn zephyr]

I'll stick with my 1650 for those prices, I want a rx 6k anyway

[foggy moth]

I saw a 6700xt on 1200

[sullen nest]

Yea my rx580 was in a system that the mobo fried so I hope it still works...

[foggy moth]

Hahahahah

[sullen nest]

I’m getting parts to make a pc tomorrow and the only gpu I have is the rx580 that I have now clue how it still runs.

[worn zephyr]

My 1650 does. I just rebuild my pc last night

My MB went out Sunday night

[sullen nest]

Yea the psu cord to the cpu socket melted.

Smelt terrible

[dreamy dragon]

Closterfoebic#6921 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[worn zephyr]

Mine just died

Luckily nothing melted and nothing else was harmed

[sullen nest]

Man sounds like a blessing lmao

Idk what I did wrong

Nvm I remember

[heady turtle]

It should yeah

[heady turtle]

Did you cheap out on pus cuz if you did bad idea

[sullen nest]

I put in a cpu cooler after market that one of the screws were sitting on one of the mobo caps and shorted it I think

[sullen nest]

Yea... as ashamed as I am to admit it... it was in fact a cyber power prebuilt but it was my first pc

[heady turtle]

Oof but that shouldn't fry the psu cable

[heady turtle]

That's probs an okay psu then

[sullen nest]

So I have no clue what the psu even was

Well it had no marking on it at all

No wattage no grade nothing

[heady turtle]

It would have been fine to run it, probs 80 plus white

[sullen nest]

But the psu coming in is a 750w 80+gold

[heady turtle]

Nice

Tbh gold is white is still fine I've a 600w 80 plus white works just fine

And I've a 3070

[sullen nest]

Dang nice, how did u get the 3070? Just wondering because I’m still looking for a good way to get one

I’m on the EVGA list to get one but I haven’t heard anything yet idk if they’re still doing that

[heady turtle]

Check shuffle but i got my card from currys.ie

[sullen nest]

Do you know the odds of the shuffle?

I can’t find the numbers anywhere

And idk how many people will win each shuffle

Just wondering if you did?

[heady turtle]

Stock/ppl

[sullen nest]

Yea I wish I knew when this would be over lol just so I can get one without taking out a loan

[umbral briar]

I bought mine from a local computer shop who has them stocked for msrp

[steel bough]

That’s good

[umbral briar]

I try to buy from local retailers instead of online. The stock of local retailers are more consistent

[silent ibex]

Look what came today 😄

[lone pond]

best 3070 that's like $550?

[winged stag]

wow another shuffle

[livid idol]

In 12 hours. Surprising, they don't normally do Saturday.

[hollow raven]

i been trying to get a card for like 3 months lol

i have now found my way to newegg discord

[umbral fractal]

good luck lol

[storm cove]

Are 30 seores available anywhere lil

Lol

[foggy moth]

@winged stag another shuffle, when?

[winged stag]

right now go look

[livid idol]

11 hours from now

[foggy moth]

Oh thanks

But nothing interesting

A 3090 of 2500 dolars 😫

[livid idol]

And everything is bundled with a motherboard lol

[foggy moth]

Take advantage of the situation

:(

[livid idol]

At least they're not bundling PSU bombs with the 3090 this time

[spare relic]

Thermaltake Stupid 40- dirt rated 100 watt psu

[livid idol]

Or the Gigabyte anything PSU

[spare relic]

[idle slate]

ooo its a strix 3090 ❤️ time to be disappointed again

[livid idol]

Do you want a Strix B550 to pair with that though? Durn bundles

[halcyon plover]

You can always sell it

[idle slate]

its still cheaper than 3700 on amazon or whatever the cheapest scalper is, and its literally the only version of the card i actually want

plus yes can sell the mobo

[coarse spindle]

What is the easiest way to make a GPU BIOS mis-report as another card

No reason

[livid idol]

Modify a copy of the vBIOS that you copy off the card, I will not elaborate more than that

[brisk swan]

Hmmm. Scam ?

[livid idol]

Nah not him

[brisk swan]

I know

But it used for scaming

Or show to his friends

[livid idol]

Probably for laughs if I had to guess

[coarse spindle]

Kinda a long story

So I bought a GPU off wish for like 20$ (just to see what would come) and I am assuming it is a gts450
