[zenith lagoon]

Psu*

Sucks that I can't use it tho.

Rip

So I shouldn't use it at all? @livid idol not even for low power stuff?

Without the gpu.

[livid idol]

Not worth the risk. You could get a UPS still though, and see if it runs off that. Most halfway decent UPS systems will have some sort of display and readout of what the wall power looks like also.

[zenith lagoon]

Ah ok

There is a slight smell coming the the psu....

Can only smell if you get really close.

[livid idol]

Definitely leave that unplugged, possibly damaged a transformer

[zenith lagoon]

Rip.

Its unplugged.

Well its a power issue for sure.

At least we know that.

Home power or psu.

[drifting belfry]

Thanks

[zenith lagoon]

@livid idol is it fine if I just leave the gpu cables unplugged?

[livid idol]

Yes

[zenith lagoon]

Ok

Is it also fine if I plug it in though?

[livid idol]

Yes, there's no power to the system right now

[zenith lagoon]

Because the psu is off and the psu is unplugged

Yea.

Should I be worried that the pc just shutoff/restarted, after the stress test..

[lime mauve]

Hi everyone. I'm new here. I'm needing some expert knowledge on finding the right power supply for my graphics card, that is also compatible with my computer. Can anyone help?

[zenith lagoon]

@livid idol

^^

[vital pivot]

What GPu and cpu do you have @lime mauve

Also what kind of case do you have

[lime mauve]

@vital pivot Dell Optiplex 790 High Performance Desktop Computer MiniTower, Intel Core i5-2400 Processor up to 3.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 2TB HDD + 120GB SSD, DVD, WiFi, Windows 10 Pro 64 bit-The graphics card is - MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti DirectX 12 GTX 1050 Ti GAMING X 4G 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready ATX Video Card.

[heady turtle]

Yike

[lime mauve]

@vital pivot Yeah sorry I have no idea what I'm doing. I have no idea what kind of case. I know the power supply in there does not have a plug for the power from the video card.

I was trying to upgrade my son's computer a bit so he could play games

[heady turtle]

The graphics card in it atm is okay I'd recommend getting a newer cpu that means new ram and new motherboard and an ssd but that's gonna cost a bit and tbh dell uses pripoittary power supplys so probs a new power supply too

[lime mauve]

@heady turtle Thanks.

[vital pivot]

That’s a SFF case

And had a custom dell PSU

[mossy jay]

Yeah it’s pretty hard to upgrade small prebuilts and that one is pretty old. You might want to look at building a new budget system and bringing the 1050 ti over to it for now. That’s still a half decent card

[lime mauve]

Is there a power supply that will work with what I have at the moment?

[heady turtle]

Yep this

[vital pivot]

Stop telling the guy to buy a new system. It’s kinda obvious he doesn’t want to

@lime mauve are there any spare molex power connectors in the pc

[lime mauve]

I would like to make what I have work if at all possible.

@vital pivot I really have no idea. I would have to take it apart and look.

[livid idol]

Looks like a standard ATX power supply to me, possibly Dell 12v only type unit but doesn't appear to be

If your computer looks like that one then basically any standard PSU should work

[vital pivot]

Yep

[lime mauve]

So if I was going to upgrade on a pretty small budget, what would be my best option pc wise for the money? and would work with this graphics card, because I don't want to buy another one.

[livid idol]

You'd need pretty much a full new system, except the GPU. New case, motherboard, CPU, RAM, power supply, possibly a boot drive, will run you around $500

(edited mobo)

[lime mauve]

Yikes...

[queen prairie]

for PSU I would recommend buy from EVGA 750W, that should provide enough power and EVGA Gold standard always beat any PSU

[lime mauve]

Thanks everyone...Really appreciate your help!

[heady turtle]

You dont need 750w for a 1050 ti and a 10100 lul

Don't even need a 650w

A 500w would do fine tbh

[livid idol]

Right, I used an old list I had lying around but the 650 would still allow for upgrade room later

[zenith lagoon]

@livid idol

[livid idol]

Yes but not really anything you can do about that for now

[zenith lagoon]

Like did the stress test damage anything else?

Or most likely the psu?

[livid idol]

No a stress test won't cause damage, only reveal damage that was already there

[zenith lagoon]

Oh ok

Because after the stress test.

I tried to turn it back on

The pc tried to turn itself back on actually.

And it was barely getting past the start screen

I need to get my power power foxed ASAP.

Also @livid idol Can I use my pc if I just plug it only a surge protector , that is plugged into the wall?

[livid idol]

We still don't know if the power supply is damaged, you even mentioned an odor coming from the PSU that indicates potential failure

[zenith lagoon]

If power is fixed and it still restarts, then I will have to RMA the psu as that is the only other cause.,

[livid idol]

Yes

[zenith lagoon]

All the components are fine.

Gpu ram, mobo cpu

Right?

Its just a problem with power.

[livid idol]

Should be, that's why it's shutting off, to protect other components

[zenith lagoon]

Yea.

Else, I would get a blue screen

[livid idol]

Right

[zenith lagoon]

If something was wrong with the cpu,I wouldn't even be able to boot into windows.

Especially if I connected the hdmi straight into the mobo.

I know that the integrated graphics work, and that the motherboard is outputting a signal.

I just have to wait.

For the electirciam

Can't really do anything right now.

[livid idol]

Right. That's the hardest part, the waiting. It's very frustrating.

[zenith lagoon]

Yeap..

The feeling of having it and not being able to use it..

Well thanks man.

Il probably be back haha

Giving you an update.

[livid idol]

Sounds good, feel free to ping me and I'll respond when I can

[zenith lagoon]

Thanks man!

[queen prairie]

750W for future expanding for 2 GPU or more monster hunger. A 250W is good as far as I saw, dont be so cheap on the W

[tender mulch]

EVGA tends to be meh quality for the price. There are better less expensive units available like Phanteks Amp 750.

[drowsy kiln]

Whats your reasoning for SLI? Most games cant take advantage of it if im not mistaken.

[heady turtle]

2gpu is pointless

[tender mulch]

Sli is ded and gone.

[drowsy kiln]

Is it dead for like SLI Quadros or something? Granted quadros arent for gaming

[heady turtle]

is ded for gaming but you dont need sli for multi gpu workload setups

[hybrid kettle]

Sli quadros aren’t dead but nvidia is doing those a100 things now and they do a lot of sli for those

[drowsy kiln]

Ok, didnt think it was dead. Knew gaming was dead, you only get a very small percentage out of the 2nd GPU and thats in a very small amount of games

[tender rapids]

Opinions on PNY

[hybrid kettle]

They made the fe cards for a long time, they are ok

[heady turtle]

A cards a card at this stage but never had their cards just don't feel like they're the best

[queen prairie]

that is for future I used SLI for 4k gaming. The PSU is the one very resistance of failing and very good long term investment that never fail.

[tender mulch]

SLI is dead though. Hasn't been relevant for years and games don't really support it anymore. The only new GPU that supports it is the 3090.

[queen prairie]

2x2080TI SLI able to helped me 4k with >60fps past few years. It is dead but it will come back

that is why a good PSU with some empty headroom is a good money

[fringe snow]

anyone know where I can get a 2080 ti

[tender mulch]

Ebay only. They stopped making them last year.

[queen prairie]

asking people who want to upgrade

[fringe snow]

ok thanks

[queen prairie]

2x2080ti = 3090

so better go 3090

suggest spend money for the founder edition of 3090

that has small PCB print

[fringe snow]

ok

[queen prairie]

very good for small case

just buy the waterblock for it

replace the original bulky fan

[fringe snow]

ok

[queen prairie]

I would think the price tag for founder 3090 is still good on Ebay

$2k4 which is equal to 2x 2080ti

[tender mulch]

No, they're extremely overpriced

[queen prairie]

sure

the price would go a bit higher

as BTC kept going for another 10 months

I am sure the price will keep jack up

we need more shuffle program on amazon, bestbuy and walmart

or else...good luck with it

[tender mulch]

BTC is a very small part of the issue, demand and tariffs are the majority of it. PC sales up 26% 4th quarter of last year

[queen prairie]

so how do you think US-China would work out ?

but the cards are from Taiwan right?

I would suggest buy ASAP if u can afford

my friend asked me about GPU last week

I told him get a hand on 1080TI

he bought for $689

which is overpriced for used

but now it is $1100

you can wait if you want

but that difference in few hundred bucks are the experience you have from now until you get the card on your hand

suggesting you just buy it to get over it right away

[fringe snow]

should I get a 2070 super or 1080 ti

[queen prairie]

1080Ti > 2070 in term of FPS

depends on what games you play

if you focus on FPS

1080TI still win over 2070

[fringe snow]

ok thanks

[queen prairie]

2070Super may be equal to 1080TI

but depend on price

[hybrid kettle]

Streaming or ray tracing do 2070 super

[queen prairie]

wouldnt new CPU able to help the streaming?

with AMD new series or intel 10th Gen + the streaming should be better

https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-NVIDIA-RTX-2080-TI-NEVER-MINED-W-EKWB-water-block/164810640075?hash=item265f7acacb%3Ag%3AW7UAAOSwP9NgdMz-&LH_BIN=1

that would be a good deal for now

[tender mulch]

$1500!!!

Nope

[queen prairie]

with water block included

[tender mulch]

Still nope

[queen prairie]

still worth it until the price jack up

[tender mulch]

Just get a 3080 for that

[queen prairie]

600 more?

nah

not worth it

3090 may be

[tender mulch]

Not from Ebay

No GPU should be purchased from Ebay right now

[queen prairie]

well so I was with my friends and we both chasing stuffs to build his PC

2 months that kid waited

with the whole AMD rig being with dirt lol

I told him just get 1080TI at last and it worked for him

[woeful perch]

might as well wait for ddr5 and pci gen 5.0

[queen prairie]

the wait not worth it

[woeful perch]

yeah

[queen prairie]

only newegg with good shuffle program

few hundred bucks not worth for you wait for so long

[woeful perch]

unless you know you can afford things later and not now

[queen prairie]

yeah

[woeful perch]

like if you can't at all now

[queen prairie]

the kid build his first PC

and guess what

[woeful perch]

yep

[queen prairie]

he bought from Newegg

and his GPU

was DOA

what unlucky kid

[woeful perch]

oh noes

[queen prairie]

the card was like $400

he return

[woeful perch]

gasp

[queen prairie]

then BTC went up

[woeful perch]

yep

[queen prairie]

he waited for 2 months

I had to do it with him to increase chance but no luck

so I gave him a $500 motherboard

told him sold on ebay for $350 cheap

then he combine money to get 1080TI

[charred remnant]

If something is doa is that not a warranty replacement instead of a return?

[queen prairie]

newegg offer refund

they said ran out of stock

[tender mulch]

Depends on where you bought, most have a 30 day return policy

Could also RMA for warranty

Both work

[dreamy dragon]

Meo#8134 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[queen prairie]

it was bad time to build lool

we built on Jan

then booommm

[tender mulch]

In this market, I'd honestly do warranty because stock isn't great and no guarantee on replacement unless warranty

[charred remnant]

Yea I guess that was more my point like in that scenario if newegg didn't want to replace I would have done the warranty through the manufacturer

[tender mulch]

Tariffs hit in January

25% tax

[queen prairie]

well I told the kid to buy early

he was like pick and choose over little pennies

next thing is life hit him

[woeful perch]

tariffs aren't as big a problem as hugely increased demand

[queen prairie]

the mining rig was huge in China

checkign the harsh rate we would know for sure lol

[tender mulch]

Both are issues

[charred remnant]

Yea I bought most of my parts over black friday last year, managed to get my 5600X in February and just got a 3070 off shuffle last week. It was a huge mess but when I bought parts in November I had just assumed stock issues would have cleared up by now

[tender mulch]

25% on a $400 card makes it $500

[queen prairie]

but the card is 800 now

[tender mulch]

FE cards are exempt from the Tariff, which is why still original MSRP

If you noticed

[queen prairie]

and stock availability is the problem

not the factory price

people even buy the prebuild system to hjack the GPU out and sell for higher price on ebay

[charred remnant]

They're exempt? I just assumed the fact they were still at msrp was because they had not received any new stock since the tariff

[queen prairie]

forcing the prebuild company ti jack the price up too

[tender mulch]

Nope, they're made in Taiwan which is Tariff exempt

[charred remnant]

OHH I didn't realize ALL of the other brands were in China

[queen prairie]

it is insane to see the prebuild system with basic setting goes up to $4k

most PCB from Taiwan

Nvidia and AMD from Taiwan

they r the number 1 source making the chip

[tender mulch]

AIB's aren't from Taiwan tho

[charred remnant]

Yea the silicon is taiwan from tsmc

the AIB's are elsewhere since they don't make the chips

[queen prairie]

If anyone want to invest I would suggest go for Vietnamese and Korean stock

lol

Samsung is booming and trying to compete

and they use factory in Vietnam or SEA

[woeful perch]

yeah tsmc is making a us plant

[charred remnant]

Really? I find that surprising I figured it would be much more expensive to handle production here

[tender mulch]

Gonna be years before it's online

[woeful perch]

ikr

[tender mulch]

SO maybe for nVidia 5000 series they will be made here XD

[woeful perch]

more of a publicity stunt tbh

[woeful perch]

lol

[charred remnant]

RTX 5090 America Edition, only 50 units made

[woeful perch]

It'll be the freedom edition and cost 65% more for a red white and blue paint scheme

made in the usa

[charred remnant]

100% of proceeds go to Taiwan

[woeful perch]

yep

[charred remnant]

Granted I mock the idea of a limited run America themed gpu but AMD had those midnight black GPU's they dropped lol

[woeful perch]

yep

" you can buy this limited (and we mean limited) edition gpu for 400 more, where you get the feature of us not painting the gpu shroud "

[charred remnant]

Yup and I mean I will say they looked pretty nice but you're mistaken if I'd pay more than $20 for something that looked nicer.

[woeful perch]

yep

[vital pivot]

FYI. This is why I buy EVGA.

[woeful perch]

nice

[green harness]

woah, did they extend the period without a price hike?

Previously it was April 16th iirc

[vital pivot]

Yes

[green harness]

Nice. I doubt I'll see the cards I queued for early enough, but good on em

[vital pivot]

They are making all the AIBs look so bad

Same here

And with nVidia not coming out with 40series cards this year

It definitely makes me excited for 3080ti

[drowsy kiln]

Nvidia never comes out with 2 gens back to back

RTX 2000 series came out in 2018

[green harness]

I queued for 3751 (the cheapest 3070 queue) and I'm only like 28 hours out, but it's barely moved. Still on the first queue day and I queued on the second 😦

[vital pivot]

Yeah. I will never get one as queued days after release.

So yeah. Nope

[fossil talon]

Currently 3rd in queue for MSI Gaming Trio 3070 for 2 weeks (was on backorder since Feb)

Takes time

[vital pivot]

So I’m about to make a super hybrid 2080ti FTW3 Ultra

[drowsy kiln]

I cant see SLI ever coming back for gaming.

Both the devs of game companys and the card manufacturers have to agree to do so. That isnt happening anytime soon, and even with the "SLI" that we currently have you only rwally get 10-25% out of your 2nd card.

[vital pivot]

SLI is dead

[fossil talon]

Same

[vital pivot]

The z590 asus motherboard extreme Maximus only has a single pcie 16x slot

If it’s not on a new high end motherboard the nails are in the coffin.

[coarse spindle]

SLI isn’t technically dead but it really makes no sense for a gaming machine these days

[drowsy kiln]

Exactly, SLI still works yes; but you only really get 115% - 125% performance to be fair maybe a bit more dont really know exacts but your not getting anywhere close to double the performance.

[coarse spindle]

Weird question

I remember back in the day I used to have a 480 with a gts450 as a phys-x card. Can you still do that?

[drowsy kiln]

With the same cards I don't see why not; but no idea about newer cards.

[vital leaf]

SLI won't get you ~115%-125% extra performance in games, games have totally dropped support for SLI, the last game the actually support and take advantage of SLI was made 5 years ago, it's been completely dead since then

[coarse spindle]

Not dead in workstation tasks

[vital leaf]

🥰 gaming

[coarse spindle]

But thats more nvlink anyway

Eeh gaming is ok

[drowsy kiln]

Games don't support it nativity but they "support" it. You will get some added performance from having two GPUs but no where close to what your spending to get those cards.

[coarse spindle]

Plus the tearing

Is annoying

In crysis with dual 9800gts

[drowsy kiln]

Mhm, to get two RTX 3090s your spending $3000 at MSRP or closer to $4000 now.

[coarse spindle]

The tear was real

That is low even

[drowsy kiln]

Maybe even more, can't recall what 3090s are going for on eBay

[vital leaf]

no literally you won't get any added performance for real games, it's like literally nothing

[coarse spindle]

You will get SOME extra FPS

It’s nowhere near worth it tho

[vital leaf]

how much are we talking about

[coarse spindle]

And unfortunately driver updates are making old sli cards worse

Back when 2 ment .75 + the preform

[drowsy kiln]

Minimal. That original 110% total maybe most likely less havent looked into SLI in such a long time

Yea; that as well

Also the SLI bridge spots on RTX 3090s aren't standardized so you would need two exact cards for it to even work. But with shortages have fun with that.

[idle slate]

strix typically i see 3400-4000 each right now. 3000 for one is low for scalper prices right now

fe a little cheaper

[drowsy kiln]

Yea whatever they are. Your still spending 3k+ on GPUs alone

[idle slate]

i was considering doing dual strix but they killed support

[drowsy kiln]

Mhm, even with my RX 580 8gb I had up until Friday and now my GTX 1070ti never felt a need to upgrade

I flip PCs so found a great deal on the 1070ti ($200) my 580 8gb sell for more than that so... why not upgrade

[hybrid kettle]

No lol msrp of other cards are 2300

[drowsy kiln]

Whatever it is lol

Stil like 4k on GPUs

[fossil talon]

highest 1060 price I've seen in my community, $700 CAN

[hybrid kettle]

Seems reasonable

[acoustic ginkgo]

I got my 3060 today. It was a bit surreal to be holding an item that is currently rarer than gold and selling for stupid prices.

[calm crow]

Yes

Now to sell my soul to own a something that’s not a 1050ti

[acoustic ginkgo]

Stalking the Newegg Shuffle is what got me that 3060

[calm crow]

I’ve been stalking it for about a month and a half

Simply not gonna win one

[wispy drift]

whats a fair price for a rx 570 in todays crappy climate

[acoustic ginkgo]

I didn't think I would win either, until I did.

[vital leaf]

100 usd

[wispy drift]

yeah that seems next to impossible when they're going for 300-400 across offerup, fb market, and ebay

[vital leaf]

even if 570's don't go for 100

other similarly performing cards do such as the 1060 or the 480

@wispy drift an rx 570 for 130 USD

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/707974343239900/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post

[wispy drift]

id like to get a 1060 6gb but can't seem to find any under 300

[vital leaf]

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1052256401925193/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post

1060 6GB for 100 bucks

[wispy drift]

thanks but doesn't seem like any if them wanna ship

[vital leaf]

🤷‍♂️

[wispy drift]

damn why i can't any deals like this LA, everyone tryna charge msrp or higher for their 3-6 yr old card

[vital leaf]

I found this, closest GPU to being priced like an average one
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/456944208709521/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post
it's a Galax 970 by the looks of it

[wispy drift]

wow i think thats the only gpu ive seen here that isnt a rip off

[uncut spoke]

I mean go for it if you trust em

[grizzled nimbus]

3060 bad

revert back to Phantom GTX 780ti

[vital leaf]

I really liked the lightning cards from MSI's 780 ti lineup

I just love their black/yellow color scheme

https://tpucdn.com/gpu-specs/images/b/3279-front.jpg

[wind fable]

Yeah its cool

Matrix is legendary

[nimble swallow]

That’s a sexy gpu

[karmic crag]

lol there are people did it for far longer before they copped

[heady turtle]

3 months or so for me and i just got lucky and it was €720 for 3070

[calm crow]

I’m glad there are people with patience in this world. Couldn’t be me

[hollow valley]

Check on letgo/offerup. I found a 1060 6gb for 280.

[green lodge]

Thoughts on the 6700XT?

I managed to snag it from last week's shuffle

Heard it didn't match the price to performance metrics with the 3060TI and the 3070

[spare relic]

280

[heady turtle]

Slightly better in pure fps than a 3060 ti, but tbh atm a cards a card especially if you got for under 700

[green lodge]

I got it for 700 lol

[heady turtle]

Nice

[green lodge]

Just tired of using my gtx 660s in sli to hold me over, it does well under medium settings for most recent titles

[karmic crag]

THE 3060TI?

my bad i didn't know caps was on

[heady turtle]

If things where normal it wouldn't be good value but at the moment it's g

[heady turtle]

6700xt

[karmic crag]

ah

[green lodge]

6700xt

[heady turtle]

Big upgrade anyway

[karmic crag]

i wouldn't say that's "good," but given the current circumstances, a card's a card

[green lodge]

Exactly

[karmic crag]

i won't judge

[heady turtle]

It's a lot better than 2 660s

[green lodge]

I might sell it if I can get a better one

[green lodge]

Tell me about it lol

[heady turtle]

You'll have to get lucky again if you do that up to you lol

[green lodge]

Let's spin the dice

Lol

[heady turtle]

Fair, if you do i would just keep entering shuffle and then if you get something better sell the 6700xt

[green lodge]

That's the plan

[cunning hollow]

Gtx 1050ti can handle cyberpunk?

[lost lark]

@sonic mural i am going to buy halo mcc but it says that it recomends having a AMD AMD Radeon R7 360 or a NVIDIA GTX 560 TI but i have an APU and its an Amd pro a12-9800 r7, 12 compute cores 4c+8g 2.7 Ghz

what would the equivalent be in a desktop gpu?

@limber flax

srry

[drowsy kiln]

No. Not at all, iGPUs are no whete close to desktop gpus

[lost lark]

blyat

[lost lark]

what i meant is that my APU is capable or not to run mcc

guessing that it runned in a much les powerfull procesor on xbox 360 models

[heady turtle]

If you run it 1080 or 720p low everything probs

[drowsy kiln]

There is no chance that its APU is anywhere close to an R7 360 ir 560ti

[heady turtle]

^

Apus would probs compete with like 10 year old entry gpus but r7 is like 6 years old or so

[drowsy kiln]

Hate using user benchmark but gives a rough representation of performance

[lost lark]

my computer is from 2019

[drowsy kiln]

Yes but its a really old CPU. The CPU is not from 2019

[lost lark]

( T-T)

[heady turtle]

Ehhhhhhh ub 🤮

[drowsy kiln]

Yea I hate ub too but doesnt matter. APU vs R7 360 isnt gonna be brtter

[lost lark]

but it runs tf2 just fine but maybe you are right bc tf2 is from 2009 or so

[drowsy kiln]

Well tf2 could be run on literally any computee

[lost lark]

welp

of to buy an external gpu

wait

i have an cheap ass gpu

[drowsy kiln]

Why external... u mean dedicated?

[lost lark]

i think so i am still kinda new to all of this computer stuff

and my ancient gpu is and GIGABYTE GV-N210D3-1GI

[drowsy kiln]

Yea no where close to the recommend

[lost lark]

but it could work as an assist

[drowsy kiln]

No

Its APU or dedicated. They cant work together

[lost lark]

( -_-)

well, crap

of to save 9k mxn for a 1080 ti

[heady turtle]

Dont bother, just get a decent desktop, you could get an external 3080 and plug it into an xps 15 with an i7 and get a portion of the frames in games, same cost as buying a decent prebuilt and none of the smoothness

[cunning hollow]

Which one is better i5 10th gen or i7 6th gen ?

[heady turtle]

I5 10th

[heady turtle]

I5 10400 is great value for like 140$ ish

[lost lark]

yeah i mean a 3080 sounds good an all but 1 ndivia dosent ship to mexico and 2 its is like 30k mxn

[heady turtle]

That's not the point of what i said

The point was dont bother building an external gpu because it's cheaper to just buy a decent prebuilt than an external gpu, and for an external gpu to work you need a thunderbolt capable laptop anyway so you'd need a intel laptop also the encloseres for the external gpus are like 400 usd

[lost lark]

8.055 mxn

still way cheaper than a 3080

[heady turtle]

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 you're not listening

[lost lark]

as i said "i officialy have comodore 64 brain"

or just build a no cent wasted computer

i mean i have an ANCIENT computer on my hands

am2+ socket

[heady turtle]

You couldn't even use an external gpu with your laptop also it would make no sense cuz bad cpu

It would be cheaper (and better perf) to buy a whole desktop than a external gpu too

[lost lark]

y have this laptop and a desktop the desktop one is the ancient

[heady turtle]

I'm saying it would be cheaper to buy a new desktop than an external gpu

[lost lark]

yeh but what motherboar is bang for the buck and dosent require a coslty case

[heady turtle]

None of them require a costly case but b560m hdv wifi for intel

But in this market a prebuilt you could acc get a gpu and not for much

[lost lark]

i dont have anything against intel but i can get a ryzen 3100 at 2500 or so but an i3 i have seen 9th gen on 3000 to upwards

[heady turtle]

As i said before unless you already have a gpu prebuilt will be a lot less

But deff 3100 over 9100

Get a b550 vdh wifi from msi around 100usd

Or if you want even more budget there's cheaper b450 boards

[lost lark]

like 2,050 mxn

yeah

it aint to bad

[vital leaf]

can you not get a 10100

i3 10100

[heady turtle]

Well they in Mexico so mb not

[lost lark]

mb?

[heady turtle]

Maybe

[lost lark]

nah i dont think so

[heady turtle]

I3 10100 non existent on mexico pcpp

But neither is r3 3100 tbf

[lost lark]

theres a company named cyberpuerta and i think it has deals with motherboard producers bc when i look first thing i see are mother boards

[dreamy dragon]

Decks#5664 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[heady turtle]

Right but considering gpu situation you'd still be better getting prebuilt unless you already have a gpu just to let you know because you cannot get any gpu on budget bar prebuilts atm

[vital leaf]

https://mipc.com.mx/procesador-intel-ci3-10100-3-6ghz-6mb-soc1200-10th-gen-bx8070110100.html

[lost lark]

i dont remember his name but a guy recommended me a 1650 or so

[heady turtle]

Lol they're going for 400 usd atm that's why I'm recommending prebuilt

[lost lark]

@heady turtle https://mx.pcpartpicker.com/list/YwQxmk

[finite ingot]

Should i get a 1060?

[lost lark]

hay güey

[heady turtle]

What

[heady turtle]

What gpu do you have atm, but generally no

[finite ingot]

eh i have a radeon HD 7800 series gpu with 2 gb

[pulsar prawn]

get a 980 ti instead of a 1060

[finite ingot]

why?

[heady turtle]

You're on a budget I'd recommend getting a sn550 because it's cheaper or see if pilot e is cheaper

[heady turtle]

They're all selling for crazy prices rn tbf

[pulsar prawn]

wtf a 4800 1660ti?

[heady turtle]

Possibly if you get a good deal on one, but only if it's a 1060 6gb

[heady turtle]

Mexican dollar

[finite ingot]

yea ik

[lost lark]

a m.2 drive?

[heady turtle]

Yeah

Instead of the sn750

Sn750 is more mid range

[lost lark]

Mexican Peso

[heady turtle]

Ohh sorry, then why is is mxd or something shorthand

[lost lark]

mxn you mean

[heady turtle]

Ohh yeah

[lost lark]

dunno let just say that 1 dolar is like 20 mxn

[heady turtle]

Ahh okay

[lost lark]

so for every dollar multyply by 20

[heady turtle]

Tbh good luck getting a 1660 ti for 4800 mxn

[lost lark]

dude

[heady turtle]

They're going for 2x used anyway

[heady turtle]

Yes?

[lost lark]

i found a 1080 ON 9000 mxn

[heady turtle]

Ehhhh thats about the same going rate for 1080s in the us anyway

[lost lark]

if that isnt a expensive thing idk what is

[heady turtle]

That's about 450 usd so that's the same rate their going for in the us give or take 50usd I'd say

[drowsy kiln]

1070tis are like $450 and 1080s are $500/550 usually so yea that's a decent deal. But your going to need an entirely new system; god can't imagine having a 1080 paired with a12

[lost lark]

so its going to be oround the double or so price

[heady turtle]

Look up at the list

[drowsy kiln]

Must have missed that one

[heady turtle]

Tbh at that stage I'd look at prebuilts tbh

[lost lark]

on my way

[drowsy kiln]

So then yea, 1080 with that would be fine; but look at what you can find a 1070ti for similar performance as a 1080

[heady turtle]

I'd rather the okay priced 1660 ti than a 500$ 1080

[drowsy kiln]

Someone posted in #tech-deals yesterday a $720 system with a 1660ti or something from Dell; dunno if they ship to Mexico tho

[heady turtle]

Dell have their own Mexico site i think

[lost lark]

now i think about it a nuc isn't a bad idea

[drowsy kiln]

It's not a good one either; no dedicated GPU iirc

[lone pond]

***This channel is for ? ***

[drowsy kiln]

What it says #graphics-cards; but usually involves into a PC build

[lone pond]

So can i get a graphics card ?

[heady turtle]

Nuc uses laptop cpu

[lone pond]

🥺

[drowsy kiln]

No; it's for talking about GPUs and asking whats good and stuff

[heady turtle]

And this

[lost lark]

bueno tal parece que tengo un cerebro de mierda pero bueno

[lone pond]

Should i get 1650 laptop or 1660 ti laptop ?

[heady turtle]

Ohh yeah lemme call up jenson and see if he has any spare 3080s in his oven 1 sec

[drowsy kiln]

What are you going to be doing with the laptop just gaming?

[drowsy kiln]

Oh yea sarcasm is a big thing that you find here forgot about that one

[lone pond]

Whats this link about ?

[lost lark]

but it has no gpu so Frecuenlty Asked Questions

[drowsy kiln]

Yea um... for $13k mxn a GT 1030... next

Not it has a graphics card the GT 1030 but thats well basically for video out and nothing else

[lost lark]

can get a gtx 1080 with 9k

[drowsy kiln]

Possible; idk the Mexican market tho

Here in states tho 1080s go for $450 - $550 (9k mxn - 11k mxn) usually

[lost lark]

447 usd

[drowsy kiln]

So yea for $450 thats not the worst deal. It's better than 13k for an 10th gen i3 and GT 1030 build

[drowsy kiln]

Hmm, the 1660ti should be ~50% better for gaming but don't know about game development.

[heady turtle]

1030 💩

Aight imma get that 1660 ti laptop

🤷‍♂️ no choice

🥺😭

Its $800 so........

[heady turtle]

What about it?

[lone pond]

I wish i could have got the rtx 2060 laptop in cheapest price possible 🥺😭😭😭

[heady turtle]

Still way overpriced

[drowsy kiln]

1070ti for 10,500 is pretty bad

Wait nvm cant do math

[lost lark]

perhaps

[heady turtle]

The 1080 was cheaper

[drowsy kiln]

Yea; and 1080 is better for pure FPS

[lost lark]

key word "was"

[heady turtle]

Cheapest you can get 2060 laptop for is like 1k

[heady turtle]

Where did you get that price from then?

[lost lark]

like two months ago
and in mercado libre

but it seems that somebody was faster than me

[drowsy kiln]

Honestly; while I hate Dell Prebuilts this might be the best bet... #tech-deals message

[lost lark]

rn ist going into 16k and some jack asses are selling it at 100k

[drowsy kiln]

$720 USD for i5 10400, 16gb of ram, and GTX 1660ti

[heady turtle]

Well then

[lost lark]

dang

that do be a semi good deal

[heady turtle]

Pretty good tbf

Make sure it has an ssd tho, or add one yourself

[lost lark]

k

my laptop has a m.2 slot

but its a weird one bc its more wide than large

[heady turtle]

Don't bother upgrading the a12 cpu laptop tbh

[lost lark]

ram?

eh

question but it will be on storage

[heady turtle]

What?

[drowsy kiln]

Has a 256gb SSD + 1tb HDD

[heady turtle]

Grand, i just couldn't find the link for it so was just saying incase because some prebuilts still only have 1tb hdd to start with

[drowsy kiln]

The link that I sent should link back to the post in #tech-deals

It's $1300 on dells website but they put a promo code that brings it to $720

[heady turtle]

I think i saw it before yeah was just putting a little * besides just incase lol

[drowsy kiln]

Yea, I checked it yesterday cause it was a decent enough deal to keep track of

[still scaffold]

So I have a question, I am trying to resurrect a old dell computer to turn it in to a basic gaming computer for my son. I was gifted an evga gtx 970 and have a vostro 460 mb running windows 7.

The mb does not see the gpu at all

Any thoughts? i flashed bios and nothing

[heady turtle]

Are you giving the gpu power from the power supply?

[still scaffold]

yea upgraded to 500w

fans spin

[tender mulch]

Yeah, those boards are BIOS locked to only certain GPU's

Much, much older GPU's like ATI HD 7750 etc

[heady turtle]

How is that even legal

[tender mulch]

They're OEM, they can do what they want

[heady turtle]

🙄🙄

[still scaffold]

that sucks.

[tender mulch]

Yeah

[still scaffold]

Thanks for the info

[tender mulch]

Sorry for the bad news

[still scaffold]

kinda knew it was going that way after all the googling i have done.

Just hoping there might be a work around

[polar vault]

wtf 13k?

[brisk swan]

Holy

[heady turtle]

Mxn not usd

[tender mulch]

If you feel comfortable editing bios Binary files and don't mind running the risk of completely bricking the computer, there are guides to edit the BIOS file to accept different cards. Entirely up to you.

[still scaffold]

oh really. I might have to look into that. It could be fun

[heady turtle]

Depends what you consider fun lol

[tender mulch]

It's possible but realize the possibility of completing bricking that machine is real

[still scaffold]

yea im not worried about that. as it sits its a brick for me anyways.

[tender mulch]

MIght check this out? https://www.dell.com/community/Vostro-Desktops/GPU-upgrade-Vostro-460/td-p/7770491

[still scaffold]

interesting.

[tender mulch]

If the BIOS on that board is too old and doesn't support UEFI, there's no fix for that

Need UEFI BIOS for the newer cards, little digging should answer that

[storm scroll]

Can someone tell me which channel has info on GC stock?

Or is there one?

[calm crow]

Go join a stick drop sever it won’t be here

[storm scroll]

Ok ty

[calm crow]

👍

[green harness]

@storm scroll also https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle
They've also added the ability to subscribe for shuffle alerts. But it's literally a game of chance

[livid idol]

Those alerts are a joke. I've been notified exactly twice, and both times were too late to enter.

[tender mulch]

Subscribe to the #announcements channel here. Mike will be posting them about 20 minutes before they happen

[green harness]

Ah, so they do a shuffle for who gets alerts too? 😬

[random walrus]

I got banned from StockDrops for saying it was stupid to have card raffles only accessible to server donators :/

Like I wasn't arguing or anything, just said that and got banned, reason for ban was "go find another server then"

[green harness]

Wow

Well it's pay to maybe win

Anyone looking to buy a card is already on board with p2w

[random walrus]

Oh and either the owner or a mod also posted link to a scalper listing at least once, no apologies or removal of the link

[heady turtle]

How do you think they afford the cards lol

[random walrus]

nonono

The raffle is for a chance to buy the card

You donate to the server, get entered, and if you win you pay MSRP+tariffs for the card

[heady turtle]

People don't want ungrateful people in their server when they're providing you a free service so they'll just ban you to make it easier, you gotta remember they're doing it for free and stuff

[storm scroll]

Thanks a bunch

[green harness]

GL

[random walrus]

...the raffle is making them money, off of GPUs. The alert service is free but having a paid raffle to get GPUs is stupid

[heady turtle]

Still they gotta make profit somehow then

[heady turtle]

Yeah and you weren't a paying customer so it's easier to not waste their time on you

[random walrus]

I mean I'm sure they were already getting a decent amount of donations, and I doubt writing the bot was a full time job considering as soon as shortages go away it will be pretty much usless

[heady turtle]

You underestimate how much work goes into coding clearly XD

[random walrus]

I didn't say it was easy I just said it probably wasn't their full time job

[heady turtle]

Maybe not but if i coded something like that, released it to the public and someone using it for free and taking up my/moderates complaining about something that doesn't affect them I'd do the same but you have the right to your opinion i guess

[vital pivot]

Regardless. Server donations go to discord not the people who have the server

Besides. They make money via the associated links people use to try to buy the cards.

Think about it. If you click the link and you don’t buy anything at that moment and you do buy something later that day or the next a percentage of that purchase goes to them b

Very lucrative concept

https://tenor.com/view/am-i-wrong-right-im-right-explain-prove-it-gif-15319868

[heady turtle]

Fair i just didn't think that most sites had a system like that

Affiliate system*

[vital pivot]

YouTubers do it all the time” links in the description”

I know a guy who makes $35k off associate links

lol

[heady turtle]

Yeah ik for like the usual newegg amazon ebay etc but didn't think there would be ones for best buy or something

[vital pivot]

Ever notice the Best Buy’s are direct links but Amazon links have a custom site to go to first?

[heady turtle]

Yes yes i understand the whole affiliate system

[runic lava]

Are people familiar with coil whine? I think I'm getting it from my MSI 3060 Dual Fan Gaming X. Was wondering if there was a way to reduce or stop it?

[tender mulch]

Usually it's a power supply causing it

[runic lava]

How so, does it need replacing?

[livid idol]

Coil whine isn't a major problem, but if it's annoying enough to you then send it in for RMA and cross your fingers they can send you another one

[tranquil birch]

yo gimme a RTX 3060

right now

[livid idol]

No, #rules number 9

[tranquil birch]

Frick

im looking for one since 2 monht

[livid idol]

Lots of people here have been trying even longer than that

[tranquil birch]

I know

By the way i was joking im not acctualy begging ahah

[spare relic]

Gime nasa compuer

Beep boop

[tranquil birch]

gimme quantum computert

[runic lava]

I don't feel like dealing with the whole RMA, I guess I'll just deal with it lol

[tranquil birch]

Onadd you are getting a 3060?

wait

im stupidd nvm

[livid idol]

I figured, that's why I didn't just call for mods right away lol

People get banned for joking here too, just be aware

[spare relic]

Noooo don't ban me

There's 3060s in the shuffle today you can try to get @tranquil birch

thought Amazon block these scalpers...

it is GPU alone...

jezzzz

[spare relic]

https://tenor.com/view/im-coming-wait-im-coming-coming-wait-im-aj-gif-18753439

Scalpers when amazon runs out of stock

[livid idol]

Newegg will block scalpers, they actually have fair pricing rules in the ToS

Report those mofos

[calm crow]

Will they

[spare relic]

Ok but they're just as abundant on Newegg as they are on amazon

[spare relic]

And they don't seem to be going away

[livid idol]

Because they usually need to be reported for them to be caught

Most people don't know they can report them

[calm crow]

alright then there’s plenty to report

[spare relic]

That particular term sounds like it should only apply to very specific cases

ie masks, sanitizer, radios or whatever

[livid idol]

It does but that's just what I could find quickly

[atomic granite]

Like covid

[spare relic]

Ah

[lucid karma]

So are the 3060s and 3070s in the shuffle more expensive because of the shortage, or because they’re special versions

Like how rog is more expensive than tuf

[livid idol]

Both

Prices are increased due to demand, plus tariffs, plus AIB models

[lucid karma]

So with my ~700 budget I should just give up on trying to find a 3080, and go for a 3070 instead?

[livid idol]

You won't find a 3080 at that price, except maybe the FE that is only sold at Best Buy

[lucid karma]

Dang

[heady turtle]

Yeah 3070 /3060 ti for 700$ budget

[livid idol]

$700 is the MSRP for the 3080 anyway, partner models are always 10-20% more expensive

[lucid karma]

So cards like the tuf gaming 3080, how much are those now when they come in?

[heady turtle]

Way out of reach

Like 1k

Sometimes

[livid idol]

Those are like $1100

[heady turtle]

The strix goes for lots too

[lucid karma]

Cause those were originally like at the 700 range

[lone pond]

how much is a 1660 super msrp

[heady turtle]

If prices where normal they would have been probs 800tbh

[livid idol]

$230

[lucid karma]

Guess I’m looking for a 3070 now lol

[livid idol]

$700 was barely realistic even before the tariffs forced prices up tbh

Only the FE model is exempt from tariffs because they don't come from China

[lucid karma]

I thought there were a few cards in the 720-750 range at first

[queen prairie]

sigh

would love to get a hand on 3080 and 3090 then sell my 2080ti

[livid idol]

That's pretty much what I'm hoping to do as well, but 70 instead of 80. Although upgrading from a 2070 to a 3080 wouldn't be bad at all.

[queen prairie]

should go for 80

80 is pretty much better than 2080ti like 15-25 frame per seconds across all games

[coarse spindle]

Frankly i don’t really see the point in upgrading

Unless for cyberpunk

[queen prairie]

I love 4k

and can not go anything below 4k anymore

[livid idol]

Normally I would agree but my new 1440p@165Hz panel is begging for a GPU upgrade

[queen prairie]

so 4k with 2x2080ti is quite comsume alot of watt

[coarse spindle]

I can 4k on my r9

[queen prairie]

but not more than 65fps

[coarse spindle]

Depends on game but yes

[queen prairie]

it just awfully run with single card

I have 2 for it but it eat alot of watt

and sounds

and temperature

I prefer 1 single card handling it

prefer 3090 FE

would put water cooling on it

and small

[livid idol]

3090 was overpriced the minute it launched

[queen prairie]

I like the 3090 FE

it is very small PCB

just put water block on it

[livid idol]

Double the price for maybe 15-20% performance improvement

[queen prairie]

should works perfectly fine

[lucid karma]

I mostly play older games, so my current 5600xt has actually been doing quite fine in 1440

[queen prairie]

if you think about the size of the 3090 FE and single card it is pretty good

I think 3090 FE is the best bang for the buck

may be just my thinking lol

[fallow vortex]

id be so down to buy a 3090 rn, just not for 3.5k

[queen prairie]

yeah

look at that baby

[fallow vortex]

damn

[queen prairie]

the FE is the most spacial efficient

[fallow vortex]

that actually pretty dope

[queen prairie]

the Founder edition is pretty small footprint

just buy water block for it

it would be the best GPU for water cooling system

can even fit in small case

[lucid karma]

So to make your already overpriced card good, you gotta pay extra to get a water block?

[livid idol]

For $1500 msrp the 3090 is a terrible value

[queen prairie]

2080ti at their time was $1300

not that bad if you think of current time price

[livid idol]

Barely more performance than the 3080 for more than double the price, seriously

[queen prairie]

it is much more effience at 4k I believe

[stoic quest]

i have a 1650

[livid idol]

Even worse now considering 3090s are selling for almost 3k

[queen prairie]

well

that is said

but in this scalper realm

we dont take that price tag lol

[livid idol]

THATS THE SHUFFLE PRICE lmao

[queen prairie]

I thought shuffle price was 2k

max

[livid idol]

Nope, $2500-3000

[queen prairie]

that is the scalper on newegg I think

you sure it is 3k?

@,@

[livid idol]

Yes, well almost 3k. It was the most expensive 3090 model and it was $2899

[queen prairie]

nah

dont buy it

get the FE only

FE is pretty good

[fallow vortex]

id be down to get a 3080, but i value vram a lot more. 3090 for me would be pretty good.

[livid idol]

Well obviously don't buy that lol
Right now 3090 FE is only a little more than 3080 AIB

[queen prairie]

I am waiting my PS5/Xbox X

and 3090 FE if possible

[livid idol]

Gamestop has been getting pretty regular drops of consoles

[lucid karma]

Consoles aren’t too hard to find

[livid idol]

Not much harder than previous console launches tbh, I remember having to snipe my Wii off the shelf as soon as the guy stocked it

[lucid karma]

I’m just waiting till there’s more of a reason to get a PS5, meaning Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok

The shuffle 3070 prices still seem like a good deal to me though, are they actually or am I just stupid?

[livid idol]

Besides the mandatory motherboard bundles, not a bad set of options today. The Aorus Master is a pretty good board too with the 3080.

But at least they're not bundling explosives with high power GPUs this time

[lucid karma]

They do crappy PSU bundles?

[livid idol]

Oh yeah, Gigabyte loves their bundles and they did A LOT of bundles with their P-GM series PSU

[spare relic]

It's too bad PS3s are toasters now and PS4s aren't far behind

[acoustic ginkgo]

I'm happy with my 3060. It is definitely going to be a noticeable upgrade over the laptop 1060 I have

[lucid karma]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking with a 3070 to my 5600 xt

[lucid karma]

Bundles always hurt me, cause the only thing I need to upgrade is my gpu

Do they just turn around and sell the other part they didn’t need?

[granite obsidian]

Atleast you have newegg shuffles

[lucid karma]

My little sister needs a new mobo, but she has a real budget pc, even a $200 mobo would be out of place

[golden cape]

ok

[livid idol]

The bundle with the 3060 and the Aorus Elite for $615 total isn't bad for a budget build

[vital pivot]

All bundles are bad. Period.

[livid idol]

Alright, 2 PM, come on shuffle email! Today's the day, right?! I'm totally not dying a little more each time I get rejected.

[heady turtle]

good luck 🤞

[hybrid kettle]

Yeah no email

Hope is gone

Me too. It kinda smells like... sulfur. And my ex.

[vital pivot]

I’ve always received my wins around 5pm CST and a couple around 6pm CST.

So don’t fret boys. You got 30 mins until you are allowed to cry.

By my book anyway

[livid idol]

Wins. Plural. (angry noises)

[vital pivot]

Not that many. Only like 8

[heady turtle]

Only 8

[spare relic]

Swimming in them

[vital pivot]

My last win was the 3090 but the wife said No but heck no.

[heady turtle]

I mean sips bleach seductively the mod assist was saying the other day that they had 4 3070s and 1 3080

[livid idol]

I'm totally not staring at my hotmail inbox on my PC right now. But I know as soon as I step away...

[gleaming gate]

literally same xD

[vital pivot]

Less then a minute. Good luck everyone

[calm crow]

Same

staring waiting

[zenith lagoon]

@livid idol hey bro!

I just wanted to ask, is it safe to plug in a corsair 750w rmx psu into a 20 amp plug?

or are they only made for 15 amp plugs?

[tender mulch]

20 amp is fine

[zenith lagoon]

Alright.

[tender mulch]

It will only draw what it needs

[zenith lagoon]

yea...

I have t use an expension cord.

extension.

Because the problem that I am having is with home power, or my PSU.

all my 20 amp plugs work fine.

But i'm also not sure if all those arcs in power had caused my psu to break...

[heady turtle]

comfort icecream XD?

[zenith lagoon]

Bruh

mhm

Chocolate or nothing.

[heady turtle]

[hollow raft]

I'm not waiting for the rejection mail, I'm waiting to see if I gave the KO to the Shuflle

one question, are they really giving us a chance to win the items or are they generating traffic to their website, just so once your there you buy something else?

[heady turtle]

yes daarken has one like 8 times

[hollow raft]

so how do you increase your odds? Select multiple items when entering or just one?

[heady turtle]

tehcnially because youre adding more items but its the same chance as winning with 1 as the whole shuffle selected apart from youre more likely to win with whole selected becasue physically more items to be chosen for

[hollow raft]

that's what I also thought, but what if they "shuffle" according to your "whole selection" instead of just each item? Then you're lowering your chances.

you already got rejection mail?

aahm the power of positive thinking 🙂

[hollow dawn]

When the fans from the graphics card spin but theres no signal, what can be wrong?

Bios?

Is that for my question?

Yes it is all connected

But theres no display

Well the fans spin for a bit then they stop

Could it be the power supply?

I mean is not enough?

[calm crow]

Do you have the display cord plugged into the card or the motherboard

[hollow dawn]

Yes sir I do

[calm crow]

I see

Which one do it be plugged into...

[hollow raft]

everything ok with the CPU? fans also on, enough thermal paste

[hollow dawn]

It’s a 5700xt

[hollow raft]

did you hear a beep (assuming you enabled the onboard speaker)

[heady turtle]

You buying a 4 person meal jeez?

[hollow dawn]

Tbh I’ve never had that problem

[hollow raft]

resit memory?

[hollow dawn]

But the display stops

[heady turtle]

How does that add up to 55 tho wtf

[hollow dawn]

Yes

[idle slate]

eats charges a ton for delivery and service fees and stuff, and all prices are typically marked up 20-50%. Adds up fast.

[heady turtle]

Wtf that's mad, over here it's marked up max 50c and 3-5€ delivery

[hollow dawn]

600w power supply should be enough for the 5700xt, right?

[heady turtle]

Yeah

[idle slate]

ah everywhere i look is like 3-5$ extra per item compared to ordering direct from them and picking it up

[hollow dawn]

I’ll try a diferente power supply then and re do all again

[heady turtle]

The app we have here has a 50c fee

[idle slate]

I got sick of how ugly the standard gigabyte 3090 is and I doubt Im getting a better model soon, so I finally went in on a custom argb backplate today 🙂

delivery gonna take forever but its gonna be so less ugly

[heady turtle]

Well no 50c is for the service fee, delivery like €2-3, €5 if from next town over

[summer condor]

yeah, i use a 650 watt but i dont think ive even needed that much

replied to the wrong thing, meant the 5700xt question

[heady turtle]

You took out a 3090 and put in a 5700xt because looks??

[idle slate]

no

i ordered a custom backplate for my 3090

[heady turtle]

Ohh

[idle slate]

different person lol

[hollow dawn]

Lol

[heady turtle]

Lol how did you not know this

[green harness]

Wow

[calm crow]

I hope they don’t serve beans

[lucid karma]

That rejection email hurt

So much worse then getting turned down when you ask someone out

[karmic crag]

reading these rejection emails is like getting stabbed

[calm crow]

I haven’t gotten mine yet

I must wait until it happens

I see.

How’d it go

Ah he left

[tender mulch]

Hmmmm, odd

[limpid latch]

i was at microcenter around 8ish pm in westmont il and they had like 6 msi gaming x trio 3070, i could have bought one if i wanted but i arleady got a 3090

[polar vault]

scalp sounds

[coarse spindle]

Any reliable way to find used low end GPUs? (1050-rx560) ish

HWS, offerup, Craigslist and ebay all not working out

Like under 150$

[hybrid kettle]

Friends and connections

Prob only way

[coarse spindle]

Ugh, dont have either

This server should have a selling channel

[coarse spindle]

Yea

But everyone here is an enthusiast

People are real here and I could imagine have tech to spare and reasonable prices

I am just so worn out from trying to get a used 1050 under 150$

How the HELL is this so hard

They used to practically be thrown out

[fleet furnace]

Do you recall how much they were going for?

[livid idol]

Typically for warranty claims you need original proof of purchase at a minimum

[charred remnant]

Technically if they haven't registered yet you might be able to pull it off

[fossil talon]

LOL

[heady turtle]

Look at older cards like r9 380/390 or 470/r480 mb as well and try get lucky

[idle idol]

I guess the President is going to spend billions of dollars to uplift the global chip shortages. big W

[heady turtle]

Those new fabs are gonna take 3 years to become up and running minimum if they started building them rn

Most likely 3-5 years

[cosmic swift]

😭

Looking at ethereum value go up bums me out.

[heady turtle]

It's great for me I'm mining it XD

Ohh bitcoin hit new all time high of €54,200 earlier niceee

[whole robin]

how to get graphics card man...

[heady turtle]

Newegg shuffle, try best buy for founders edition and battle bots or amd.com and you can try the evga waiting list

[whole robin]

I’ve been on the evga waiting list for like a year

I signed up for it the day they made the waitlist for the cards I want

[karmic crag]

lol if you've been on the evga list for that long you should know what's going on with the graphics card market

it's awful

best bet is the newegg shuffle, best buy every couple of weeks, or get super lucky during the amd direct drops

[whole robin]

well yeah ik but it’s kind of insane

are you in the stockdrops discord? @karmic crag

[karmic crag]

yeah

[whole robin]

could you help me

[karmic crag]

do you need the link?

i'm not sure if i'm able to post that here

[whole robin]

I got banned

I need a 3060 notification bot in a discord server

@karmic crag

[heady turtle]

You're not

[karmic crag]

[whole robin]

[karmic crag]

[heady turtle]

[whole robin]

[heady turtle]

This magic thing that answers 99% of your questions

[heady turtle]

Just join it and see if it works if its kinda useless just leave, not like it costs anything to join

[whole robin]

true

[lone pond]

I have a question

[drowsy kiln]

What is it?

[lone pond]

AMD Ryzen 5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 can this handle fortnite and gta v

btw its the ryzen 5 4600h

the screen refresh rate is 60hz

[tender mulch]

laptop?

[lone pond]

Yep

[tender mulch]

It'll do OK but 8 GB ram sounds like a single stick. Does it have 1 or 2 sticks ram?

If 1, I'd grab another one

[lone pond]

it has 2 slots for ram

[tender mulch]

Should do OK with those games med settings

Right two slots
