[stiff ruin]

😩

[brisk flame]

because those cards arent in production anymore

[calm crow]

That’s pain

[acoustic ermine]

Question for the shuffle winners:

How soon did you get your notifications?

Considering I built with an X570, yeah, me too

[charred remnant]

Let me check my email

[acoustic ermine]

And how long did you have to buy?

[charred remnant]

2 hours

[acoustic ermine]

Ouch

[charred remnant]

1st email was 5 pm Est 2nd Email was at 6 pm Est
I think both were from shuffles at the normal 1-3 pm est entry window

[acoustic ermine]

Okay, I'm a day sleeper, so I have to set an alarm to check

[charred remnant]

Yea and the reason for the 2 hour window is so that if the first person doesn't buy it they can try up to 2 more times.

[acoustic ermine]

Yeah, that's why I normally get the bad news around ten pm

[charred remnant]

that's why sometimes the you weren't selected emails are really early or some are much later it depends on how many drawings they have to do until someone buys it. That and the you weren'tt selected emails also just come out very slowly

[acoustic ermine]

Well, thanks for answering

[charred remnant]

No problem, best of luck to you

[wary owl]

In person

[calm crow]

Then shoot for it man

Make sure they test it and everything in front of you

[wary owl]

Hard copy

[calm crow]

Best of luck to you

[vital pivot]

@acoustic ermine 6 and 7 pm

[clear aurora]

paperweight for 2 months, need a gpu... any damn... gpu...

[lone pond]

guys where can I find a rtx 2060 for not a crazy amount

[fading ivy]

look

[lone pond]

close to msrp or lower

[fading ivy]

rare chance

but just stalk stores

and you might find one

[lone pond]

ok

[fading ivy]

lol

[lone pond]

ty

[heady turtle]

Stalk eBay for not scams and pray to jenson

[fading ivy]

good luck

[lone pond]

my GPU is 5500 xt

[fading ivy]

ok

[lone pond]

but the driver KEEPS crashing

[fading ivy]

[heady turtle]

Did you try update drivers?

[lone pond]

listen

[fossil crow]

I followed this guide to set my navidia geforce settings to better optimization because i wasn't noticing a different in games and it worked. Thanks again. Bye now

[lone pond]

I updated drivers, reinstalled drivers, updated windows, reinstalled windows, updated BIOS, took GPU out and put in different slot.

@heady turtle

NOTHING WORKS

[dreamy dragon]

zNugget.xyz#9999 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[heady turtle]

Welp you didn't try return the card?

[lone pond]

It happend 72 days after I bought it

Microcenter only had 30 day

warranty

[calm crow]

And how is the companies warranty

Most manufacturers have their own warranty

[lone pond]

Sapphire

[calm crow]

Check theirs.

[lone pond]

and I still have my recipet btw

[heady turtle]

They should have a decent warranty

[lone pond]

ok

@heady turtle

Can’t find anything abt it.

[boreal turret]

[peak moth]

does anyone know how can i check gpu latency in graph on msi afterburner

nvm found out

[livid idol]

Yes, mostly for liquid cooling

[tender mulch]

Also some air coolers but they are UGLY

Accelero

[boreal turret]

https://www.nzxt.com/product-overview/kraken-g12
ive heard a few good things about this but that was years ago so i have no idea if it even works with modern cards

plus its ugly

[tender mulch]

The issue with AIO converters like that is cooling the VRM and VRAM

Both need heatsinks and a fan to keep them cool if you remove the stock heatsink

[boreal turret]

i think the g12 has a fan for the vram

idk

not sure why you would want to buy an aftermarket cooler like that in the first place tho

[hybrid kettle]

It doesn’t work with fe 3080

[livid idol]

There's not a lot of good stuff that works with 30 series at all

[hollow dawn]

People be like “Oh I just bought this graphics card for $300 I’ll a screenshot of the same card from a website where the price is $900 and resell it for $600”

[tender mulch]

Accelero makes one

And someone else.....have to look it up

[livid idol]

You can get replacement fans a lot easier than a whole cooler, they're like $5 each on aliexpress

[tender mulch]

Fake gross

[livid idol]

It ships from India so it's up to 20-40 days

But it's like $5 with $1 shipping

[coarse spindle]

@onyx orbit it depends

I do a lot of business with ali and best I have gotten is 5 days

Generally stuff is from less privileged parts then the states so things generally take 2 weeks

Nothing over 2 weeks yet

And I buy a range of different xeon combos and gtx950s

So far all from china 🇨🇳

[stone holly]

Hi

[fading ivy]

Hi

[brisk swan]

Bye

[coarse spindle]

@onyx orbit hah

You puny mortal

Have not found the wonders xeon gameing has to offer

Tumult’s x58 and x79 xeons match and defeat i7’s from the time in gameing pref for cheap

[acoustic ermine]

Xeons are capable of brute forcing a lot of stuff for relatively cheap

[charred remnant]

Yea I was gonna say I think in a lot of the older scrapyard wars Linus tried to find used Xeons

[hollow dawn]

It’s because Xeon are designed for servers or industrial servers

[acoustic ermine]

High core count with mediocre clock speed

And low TDP IIRC

[frozen owl]

what gpu

[tight goblet]

no way someone just has an extra 3060 ti layin around

i could use one

[frozen owl]

#rules please

read them

@little sleet

[charred remnant]

I think Arctic makes one, but I have no experience with it to tell you how well it works. Replacing fans might make more sense.

[frozen owl]

the arctic one works amazing

i used it on a gtx 1080 turbo oc by gigabyte

the stupid blower style

[charred remnant]

Ah ok, yea it's funny, I didn't even know they made a gpu cooler until I was goofing around on their site after looking at fans and saw it.

[fallow vortex]

call me crazy but ima try to get a ticket this summer to Taiwan just so i can get a gpu

[frozen owl]

good luck

you wont make it past the gates

[fallow vortex]

vaccine time

[frozen owl]

nothing to do with that

i literally mean gates to the place they put them together

[lone pond]

Some day, AMD cards will be back in stock, right? It's been months :(

[fallow vortex]

its unfortunately gonna last longer, its either wait, or give in to the inflated price for a gpu on ebay or other sites

[dreamy dragon]

Selroth#0001 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lone pond]

And compete with the darn miners...

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[charred remnant]

I would have to go look for the article again but I think AMD has just been in a worse position fabrication wise so they haven't been able to get as many gpus made which is why they're so scarce. However I read that a little bit back and I could not tell you where off the top of my head

[lone pond]

Well, they are significantly smaller than Nvidia.

[spare relic]

AMD primarily focuses their GPU resources into APUs

Consoles and stuff

Though PS5 still doesn't exist so I guess not 😳

[heady turtle]

They are not, but nvidia uses samsungs fabs iirc and amd uses tsmc but amd has to spread their dies across ryzen, Radeon, ps5 and xbox series s/x

[charred remnant]

I actually just looked it up and both AMD and Nvidia use TSMC 7nm for their GPU's I thought the thing had something to do also with apple reserving a huge amount of TSMC's production but that's at 5nm. I think it might also just be that AMD is probably more heavily focused on their cpu's than gpu's but I could be wrong there since that's just speculation

[heady turtle]

Yeah pretty much, mb intel can lift a load of with their upcoming gpus

[charred remnant]

I thought intel delayed them again? but I could be wrong

[heady turtle]

Well it will be out soon ish

An extra competitor is no harm

[livid idol]

It's easy to blame the miners but they're a very small part of the problem. The main problem is no one could predict covid causing so many people to need a new PC, so supply does not nearly meet demand.

[heady turtle]

^

Even car companies had to stop production because of no silicon

[charred remnant]

Not only that I honestly haven't heard about AMD cards being used for mining. I'm sure they probably work but I think in general AMD's gpu's have been scarce for everyone bots and miners included

[spare relic]

RX 580 8GB

[livid idol]

Right, most of the AMD stock has been going into consoles

[spare relic]

I think is a popular mining card

Is or was

[livid idol]

It was but it lags behind now

[charred remnant]

You're right I forgot that the consoles would also be the same 7nm they use for graphics cards

[hybrid kettle]

The higher end Amd cards mine well I’ve heard, they just are much harder to get than nvidia

[heady turtle]

Vega is better at mining than 3080s iirc

[charred remnant]

Then it's probably just the lack of availability as to why I haven't heard of them being used for mining

[livid idol]

Bingo

[lone pond]

Cheapest graphic card that runs vr well like basically all vr games?

[flint apex]

is +1100 mhz for VRAM safe?

I'm trying to get the most mining performance out of my 1660 ti

oops, wrong chat

[heady turtle]

Try your damm best to get a 3060 ti, and depends what you consider well and what settings etc

[heady turtle]

As long as you have a decent fan speed and temps to make sure it doesn't overheat

[lone pond]

not so cheap but will do

[heady turtle]

Well you gotta make compromises either in price or performance it's just how it is

[lone pond]

true

[karmic crag]

3060 should be playable for vr

cheap & vr aren't really compatible terms lol

[lone pond]

fax

[lone pond]

but that's impossible to find in denmark

[karmic crag]

so is every other card

try your best to get one

[lone pond]

hi

[charred remnant]

hello

[lone pond]

can some one please tell me why the gpu prices are very high and most of them are out of stock

dont tell me its because the pandamic

[livid idol]

That's the root cause yeah. The demand for PC parts skyrocketed with more people working from home.

[lone pond]

i was searching for 1660 super

[livid idol]

Then the scalpers caught wind of the increased demand and used their bots to buy most of the stock so they can resell for double or even triple the original cost.

[lone pond]

and the prices on fire 800$

[spare relic]

GTX 980 or 980 Ti

[heady turtle]

realistically you gotta look for older gpus on ebay and make sure its not a scam

[livid idol]

We can help weed out the scams and hacked accounts too if you put up a link

What's funny is in order to have a chance at buying stuff (especially on amazon, no bot guards at all) legit gamers need to program their own bots to checkout in under 300 ms

[heady turtle]

yeah sad :(

lol dont know how you would manage that tho

[livid idol]

Ehhh, I feel like the retailer would get blamed for that but hard to prove that there wasn't any stock when the stock sells out in under a second already

You'd need to piggyback off of the DNS record system to "hijack" the stock notification, since the bots look at specific IP addresses

Yeah, they seem to be the only retailer that actually cares about the consumer over profit

[pallid meteor]

Where do I get LTT drops

[ripe magnet]

I have an Oculus Rift S but the onboard video chip is not compatible with it. My motherboard is a ASUS Prime B350m-a. It has a PCI Express 2.0 slot. I am looking for a video card that is compatible. The suggested video card is a AMD Radeon RX 470. Does anyone have any suggestions for a video card?

[fossil talon]

LTT releases videos with hidden links

[pallid meteor]

Ok

Thx

[fossil talon]

You have to be ready when they drop a video

[livid idol]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1312490-verified-actual-gamer-program-information/

With the LTT program you need to decode the link from hints and then basically pass a quiz including questions such as "Which princess is always in another castle" and "What kind of combat did KOTOR have?"

[hybrid kettle]

I would recommend just getting a better computer.

The 470 wouldn’t run vr that well

[bitter jungle]

570 could run vr i bet

i mean 470

[livid idol]

Run it sure, but in super low res for most games unless you want to get motion sickness from the low fps

[ripe magnet]

An 8 yr old is going to be playing it so performance doesn't have to be great.

[bitter jungle]

I think yall are undervaluing the 470

its a good card

can overclock

[brisk flame]

470-580 great 1080p cards

[ripe magnet]

The card you are referring to is it NVIDIA?

[bitter jungle]

i ran VR on a 480 just fine through oculus link on my quest

[bitter jungle]

RX 470 is AMD

[ripe magnet]

Got it! Thanks.

[bitter jungle]

what CPU do you have?

[livid idol]

VR isn't really recommended for kids under 12 usually anyway, and not just from the ESRB ratings. The headsets will only adjust so small, and the screens can mess with eye development.

Most VR headsets even list a minimum age

[bitter jungle]

aw yeah im above the minimum age

i guess i shouldnt let my sister play too much

[livid idol]

Technically those age limits are for liability reasons, like the warnings about suffocating on plastic bags, but it is something to keep in mind.

If a headset doesn't fit right and they spin around and it flies off to break the TV, the manufacturer can't be held at fault since you didn't follow their guidelines. That sort of thing.

[ripe magnet]

Radeon R7 3500 Mhz 4 Core

[bitter jungle]

huh

some sort of AMD A10 i assume?

[ripe magnet]

Yes, AMD

[bitter jungle]

cause what you listed is the integrated graphics

[ripe magnet]

Yes, it has an integrated graphics chip

[bitter jungle]

ok yeah, if you wanna run VR either sell your rift and get a quest or upgrade both your CPU and GPU

cause those A10s arent powerful

[livid idol]

Agreed, an A10 isn't going to do much beyond web browsing or light gaming these days

(VR absolutely does not qualify as light)

[bitter jungle]

VR very instense

can you still return your rift S?

[ripe magnet]

It's an A10-9700, I built it about 2 years ago. I mainly do 3D CAD and record music with it.

[bitter jungle]

I think for you it would be better to get a quest

[hybrid kettle]

Either return your rift s and then buy quest, or sell rift and then buy quest

Quest 2 starts at 300

[ripe magnet]

It installed fine, got a message that it needed to upgrade firmware and then got a message that the video would not work on it

[bitter jungle]

is the quest 1 still refurbished for $200

[hybrid kettle]

I’d just get the quest 2

Much better features than quest 1

[livid idol]

That A10 has less than half the performance of a i3-10100

[bitter jungle]

yeah no get quest 2

[bitter jungle]

I got a quest 1 and i regret it

quest 2 much more powerful, overall just better. Definitely worth it if you're not gonna be connecting to computer

[hybrid kettle]

I got mine well before quest 2 was released and I still regret

[bitter jungle]

which tbh wireless is like a dream

[ripe magnet]

Again, this is for an 8 yr old, he doesn't care about performance.

[hybrid kettle]

Quest 2 is still the better option

Low FPS vr is not fun it’s actually painful

[bitter jungle]

i dont mind 72 fps on my quest

[livid idol]

I would almost suggest PS VR over low spec PC VR

[hybrid kettle]

I mean when you are getting 20 FPS

[bitter jungle]

work fine for beat saber and superhot, I connect to PC for more demanding like boneworks

[hybrid kettle]

I tried to run no mans sky vr and it was so bad it just crashed

[livid idol]

Literally in some cases, I get motion sickness at low fps

[bitter jungle]

again, if you're trying to run those more demanding games I'd just connect to PC

[hybrid kettle]

It was lol

[bitter jungle]

ive only had my quest crash a game once and that was when I was playing and streaming beat saber for like an hour

oh thats weird

[hybrid kettle]

Steam vr decided to yeet

[lone pond]

.

[karmic crag]

i hope that person gets evicted

[calm crow]

What a shame. Hopefully they don’t sell

What are some of the reasons

[lone pond]

xFx iS tHe waY tO gO

i remember that from bitwit's video

[calm crow]

Very epic

Saw one similar. The parts total are less then $1.5 and they ballin

Very nice scam

Sheeeeeesh

Probably selling her exs stuff or something

Or both

Outside the box thinking people

[acoustic ginkgo]

I'm happy with my 3060. Or will be, once I have it installed in my new build. (Waiting for the rest of parts to arrive.)

Everything but the GPU, case, case fans, and monitor. CPU and boot drive will be here tomorrow, the RAM is scheduled for Tues, PSU, hard drive, mobo, and CPU cooler Wed.

[granite galleon]

whats the diff between scalper and current market prices

[livid idol]

The smart thing to do, given how the market looks

[livid idol]

Scalpers are charging 2500 for a RTX 3070

[acoustic ginkgo]

Yep. Wasn't buying the rest of internals until I had the GPU in hand. (I've had the case, the fans, and the monitor since last year when the shortage put original plans on hold.)

[granite galleon]

if you had an extra gpu and sold it for the original msrp right now you don't think you'd be leaving money on the table?

[acoustic ginkgo]

I got my 3060 via shuffle and ended up paying nearly 400 dollars. But since my laptop is starting to have parts fail; waiting for a 3060ti ceased to be a practical option.

[granite galleon]

microcenters are selling a $500 3070 for over 750 rn

[livid idol]

The reason for that is mostly the tariffs imposed on China forcing the prices higher since it costs much more to ship them

[heady turtle]

Also only the founders editions have an msrp of 500, the rest are hit with china tariffs and aib cards usually go for 50-100$ extra anyway

So 750 ntb

[granite galleon]

I ran into this dilemma recently. I love my 5700xt. Does everything I want. However, I found out the microcenter near me was getting a bunch of 30 series card. I figured by waiting in line for a 3070 and selling my 5700xt for 200 less than the lowest price listed on marketplace in a 50 mile radius from where I live(that person was asking for 1000) it'd be like upgrading to a better card for free

[heady turtle]

Yep

[livid idol]

Essentially yes, that's my plan with my 2070 as well

[heady turtle]

Idk how much a bunch of cards would be but yes

[granite galleon]

feel like if there's ever a time to upgrade nows the time to do it

[heady turtle]

I essentially got a 3070 for €550 as i just sold my r9 380 for €170

[lone pond]

Dude

[heady turtle]

If you can get a card

[lone pond]

Getting a gpu at all these days

[livid idol]

If you can manage to get the new gen cards near enough their original price + tariff then you can easily profit

[heady turtle]

Tbh if you can get within 250-300 of msrp it's fine

[granite galleon]

Microcenter at least tries to limit scalper/miner potential by only letting you purchase one card every 30 days

[heady turtle]

And you can mine to recoup costs

Or make profit

[lone pond]

Doesn’t help much, cards are gone within a day

[heady turtle]

Still they're not getting very many cards anyway lol

[granite galleon]

Think I'm lucky with where I live. I went to the microcenter at 7 am on delivery day and they had almost 2 dozen 3060/3070s combined

only one 3080 tho

[heady turtle]

Wouldn't exactly call that a lot XD

[granite galleon]

if you're willing to wait a couple hours its not bad LOL

Anyone who got there before 8 got a card

[livid idol]

I'd need to drive overnight to LA to get to the closest MC lol

Need to be level 3 for links

[granite galleon]

the person who got the only 3080 got there at 2:30 pm the day before

[heady turtle]

Bruh

[livid idol]

Sounds right tbh

[heady turtle]

Where they not open by 2.30 the day before?

[granite galleon]

they were

he wanted to save his spot in line

[livid idol]

He was just in line for the next day stock

[heady turtle]

Do they like annouce it in store a few days before drops r sum?

[granite galleon]

the delivery days are always the same they just never know whats on the truck or how much theyre getting

[heady turtle]

Ahh

[granite galleon]

for us I think it's tues/thurs/fri and friday is known to have the biggest shipment

[heady turtle]

Interesting

[frozen owl]

hm

[heady turtle]

Dont bother for a 570

They wouldn't get very hot anyway

[frozen owl]

https://www.arctic.de/en/ax4

if you really want to

this works with it

i just looked at the stuff

[heady turtle]

Not really, if you're worried about temps then turn up your fan curve a bit more

Ohh

Then just get replacement fans

Yup

[granite galleon]

I showed up at 645 am on Friday but anyone that was able to get there before 8 am got 3060/3070. They only had one 3080 and the guy that got it got there at 230 pm the day before

do you think that will ever come back in stock lol

[junior veldt]

Lmfao no

[fading ivy]

[livid idol]

Right now it's the best a lot of people can get so you're not really wrong

[umbral briar]

feels bad to be in NA and EU for gpus

[charred remnant]

where are you that you're able to get them?

[lone pond]

This fake or nah?

[karmic crag]

not awful

hopefully it's a public meetup

[lone pond]

I found this other one

That ships

But I don’t trust it

Mk

[livid idol]

Never do "shipped only" on FB market, almost 100% scams that you never get the card

[lone pond]

Alright so the image I sent might have to be the one

I’m not going alone

I’m 15

I can’t

I carry a knife in my bag with me anyway

But I’ll have an adult with me

👍

[livid idol]

Should be ok then, best to meet indoors too

[lone pond]

If my mom can convince them to come down to me instead of me go to them

That would be nice

Possibly

I’ll have to talk with her tmr she’s kinda sleepin rn

I wanna see if my mom will buy me a card

Cuz I’ve given up on tryna find cheap stuff

Like last summer there was a whole bunch of stuff

Now it’s just 3060s for 400

My mom was originally gonna buy me a 700 dollar bike but

Now I think I want a Gpu

Yea

[livid idol]

Keep it clean

@wraith pasture

[wraith pasture]

@opal wadi we don't do personal buying or selling on this server to protect peoples info and privacy

https://tenor.com/view/renge-shrug-non-non-biyori-idk-duck-face-gif-9724581

[livid idol]

Volunteer tech support mostly

[wraith pasture]

theres a new notify for shuffle button on the shuffle page https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

[livid idol]

You'd be surprised...

[wraith pasture]

yeah you'd be very surprised the amount of free tech support this server does

yeah i get email, text and app alerts like 1 hour before it starts

[steel bough]

3080 was in stock tonight on zotac website. Sold out 10 minutes later. Glad some people got to order theirs.

[charred remnant]

oh that's awesome for the people still trying to get gpus

[swift marsh]

ive done probably 10-15 shuffles and not one card

pretty depressing really

[charred remnant]

Yeeea jk nm just checnjg it dijjalty

[charred remnant]

Ii dddid it for months before I eeon

[livid idol]

I come back after a few minutes and surprise, he got kicked

[hybrid kettle]

If I got 3070 I’d sell my 3060ti to my friend for whatever I got the 3070 for

But shuffle does not like me

I’d get 3080 but my psu doesn’t have enough wattage, nor does my case have enough room probably lol

[weak cape]

Mmm if 3080ti is 899$ then I might just see if I can grab it

Oh did they finally release the date and price?

[hybrid kettle]

Any gpu you can get for msrp is basically instantly tons more in value

[weak cape]

Ah

[hybrid kettle]

You get 400 dollar 3060ti fe, becomes 1200

[weak cape]

Well at 1k idk. Might just use the chaos to see if I can snatch a 3080 at MSRP

[tender mulch]

Source?

[hybrid kettle]

If I got 3080 I would probably need to upgrade cpu

10600k might not cut it

[weak cape]

Both will prob be equally as hard to get

I’ll just watch for like

[tender mulch]

Ah, found it

https://www.tomsguide.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-is-real-and-its-already-shipping-to-the-us

Facebook pic

Sus

[weak cape]

The MSI 3080 that’s 699$

[tender mulch]

Notice how the important numbers are conveniently washed out by the plastic wrap

[hybrid kettle]

Are any of the msi ones 699?

[tender mulch]

:/

[weak cape]

Yeah there’s one

[tender mulch]

UPC code doesn't exist

824142249574

[hybrid kettle]

Photoshop job wouldn’t be that hard ngl

[weak cape]

Yeah

Who knows though

Imagine, 3080ti is all a joke and never releases

[tender mulch]

EAN code also returns nothing

4179072821364

[weak cape]

Both don’t get any results?

[tender mulch]

4179072821354

Nope

None of the numbers on that crate come up with anything

Can't have a UPC number not exist lol

[weak cape]

Photoshop moment lol

[tender mulch]

I tried all kinds of variations in cased I missed a number

No EAN or UPC number comes back as valid

Yup

It's coming

No one knows when

And never trust a "leak"

[weak cape]

Eh if it causes scalpers to focus on it during release hopefully it’ll take some heat off of the 3080s

Mhm, but hey Nvidia does what Nvidia wants so, no mining back your GPU with a 3080ti

Unless once again someone finds a easy way to just remove the roadblocks Nvidia throws down

[tender mulch]

Well yeah, once they released the wrong driver LOL

[weak cape]

But yeah at 999$ I don’t think I’ll go for a 3080ti

[tender mulch]

Can't put Pandora back in the box

[weak cape]

[tender mulch]

I really wish places like that would double check things before posting them

[crisp moth]

the auto tuning tool for nvidia is it any good?

for gpus

[livid idol]

Exactly, modern journalism doesn't care about being accurate they care about clicks

[umbral briar]

sorry for the late reply but SEA has some stable stock

a bit above msrp but theres always stock of the 30 series gpus

not much stock online but local retailers have steady supplies of every gpu

And where it is?

I mean SEA

[halcyon plover]

He said local stores not online

[brisk swan]

Not much but there has to be some gpus online

[halcyon plover]

Oh maybe idk

[brisk swan]

[umbral briar]

local retailers are cheaper than the ones I find online

I got my 3090 for msrp 3 months ago with no need for reservations and what not

i gotta say, the 3090 is complete overkill for what im currently doing

[lone owl]

I just want the 3080 for MSRP

[umbral briar]

stocks are really f***ed atm

[lone owl]

@umbral briar Yeah I know, it drives me crazy and feel like this is being done on purpose so the prices can skyrocket.

[heady turtle]

Tbh i doubt it because anyone that has a choice will get the older cards as they have no mining limiter

[normal hawk]

So I'm not currently at home. Won't be for about 5 more months. What are the odds I'll get a broken GPU if i order one? I don't want to get back home to a broken GPU. Lol i can have my brother plug it into his PC if needed right?

Or should I just wait and hope to get the refreshes?

[heady turtle]

Chances you get a dead gpu is pretty low tbh

[lone owl]

I'm pretty sure those things get tested up the wazoo before they leave the factory

Plus they probably test them for covid also so you should be ok

[weak cape]

yeah, miners won't really enjoy the limiter

[heady turtle]

But the thing is a lot of people are mining to take back some of the costs of buying the gpu so imo the original cards will be preferred

[compact jasper]

[charred remnant]

Yea, once my semester is over and I build my pc I plan to mine when I'm not using it to offset the increased price from the tariff that I hadn't planned for.

[rapid valley]

would a 11400 bottleneck a 3080

[tender mulch]

Dpends on resolution

[rapid valley]

1440p-4k

imagine getting a 3080 and playing 1080p tho

[charred remnant]

I would imagine that's what a lot of esports people do though with like a 360hz monitor tbh

[drowsy kiln]

Bottleneck is just an overused and misunderstood term. There will be a "bottleneck" but minor and will not cause any real performance difference.

With an i5 11400 and RTX 3080 I would expect something like a 3% or something bottleneck but a bottleneck is usually refereed to as anything over 10%.

[tender mulch]

BOttleneck should be wiped from existence

[rapid valley]

yeah

[heady turtle]

Well if you were playing eSports you'd want to play 1080p

[tender mulch]

Also will depend on the games you're playing and how they utilize the CPU

[drowsy kiln]

Very true, I blame YouTubers for making it what it is. People think that they have to have 0% bottleneck but thats nearly impossible.

[tender mulch]

It's exactly impossible

Because everything uses resources differently

[charred remnant]

0% implies an infinitely fast computer since there always has to be some limiting factor

[tender mulch]

This game will be fine, that game won't, etc

[drowsy kiln]

Mhm, it's just a overused and miss-understood term.

[charred remnant]

Now a real bottleneck is like the frankenstein of a computer my old desktop was with a i5-4690k and a gtx 650. Granted that said it was great for games that only cares about the cpu so pretty much minecraft and nothing else.

[rapid valley]

i was today years old i learned

[drowsy kiln]

Exactly, it's really difficult with newer hardware to cause bottlenecks or at least ones that will limit performance to some major extent. Even like a Ryzen 5 2600 wouldn't have over 10% in post titles with an RTX 3080.

[heady turtle]

It is completely impossible, even if it's not the hardware it can be the game engine or something else

[charred remnant]

No need to crush my fever dream of the infinitely fast computer and game engine.

If my monitors refresh rate isn't measured in gigahertz I'm not interested

You think I joke but I just bought a 1.44e-7 GHz monitor 😂

[drowsy kiln]

Never heard of that one lol

[fair sorrel]

How much could I get from an i7 9700 1660ti prebuilt

But the 1660 is a weird one dell gpu

[toxic sinew]

What do you mean how much could you get?

You are trying to sell it?

[fair sorrel]

Yeah

Idk tbh because of all the gpu shortages and stuff

[toxic sinew]

How much did you buy it for?

[fair sorrel]

It was around 1300 when I bought it

From dell

[halcyon plover]

Maybe 1k

700-1000 i think

[fair sorrel]

Cool thanks

[calm crow]

Definitely didn’t get bit with a big brain stick. What a shame

[prime niche]

whens the next restock?

[heady turtle]

Depends where lol

[prime niche]

USA

[weak cape]

No one knows

There’s general patterns to restocking with each retailer

You just gotta keep watching, and eventually with most retailers you’ll start to see a pattern

But even then you’ll never know when something will restock with 100% certainty

[charred remnant]

There's newegg shuffle that's typically 1pm-3pm est Monday-Friday however evidently there have been a couple weekend shuffles now too

[heady turtle]

Depends on the shop and noone really knows, although amd is usually Thursdays

[weak cape]

Yeah AMD direct drops stuff Thursday’s around 11 AM EST

That’s how I got my 5900x so if you’re looking for a AMD product that’s your best bet

[woeful perch]

is it possible to get a gpu at that time?

[lone pond]

is newegg safe?

[tender mulch]

Wat

If it says sold and shipped by newegg yes. Third parties are a mixed bag

[charred remnant]

Personally the only third party sellers I tend to trust on Newegg is the manufacturer. ie I don't mind buying WD HDD's from WD

I've never had issues I just tend to play it safe

[heady turtle]

Just hit shipped by newegg and you should be g

[weak cape]

Yeah

Only AMD ones so no Nvidia (it is AMD direct after all, not Nvidia direct)

im debating on one of these anyone have any opinions

[junior veldt]

I think the Sapphire AMD 2GB card is from a better and more trustworthy seller, but the 4GB XFX Radeon card likely has better performance

@light pagoda

[light pagoda]

hmm

how much better i mean is it

[junior veldt]

Also, on the 2GB card listing accepts returns

The 4GB listing is sus

[light pagoda]

he said he had to re apply the past and theres some sag

[junior veldt]

Then that's probably not a very good card

I would go for the 2GB card if I were you

[light pagoda]

honestly its a filler untill the market chills out im gonna go with the 2g

thanks@junior veldt

[junior veldt]

No prob

no way shape or form is that a good deal

the msrp on the gpu you mentioned is way lower than any offer you could get

I would wait out the shortage if I were you

[light pagoda]

keep watching for deaals

[junior veldt]

Agreed

Prebuilt doesnt mean a good price

[light pagoda]

3060

[junior veldt]

Now THATS a pretty sweet deal

[light pagoda]

i honestly dont know if this is a good deal

nice

[junior veldt]

And their msrp is less than 400 bucks

Wait it out

In [hopefully] less than a year the prices'l be back down

[brave violet]

? what happened @junior veldt

[junior veldt]

No, but for 2060s

3060s*

Oops

I think a 3080's msrp is ~800

Yep

That's why I'm waiting to build my pc

[light pagoda]

its easy just get some sheeple to do it with you

[junior veldt]

All I want rn is a 20 or 30 series nvidia gpu but that aint gonna happen

not for the prices theyre at rn

[calm crow]

Same man. We can hole

Hope

[junior veldt]

we sure can

im just going to wait it out because my current pc works for my needs

I have to deal with an iGPU though thats the main reason why I want to upgrade

[livid idol]

Oh goody another P-GM bomb bundled with a 3090 in the shuffle

I found some on ebay for less

though they weren't evga

160

usd

I found a zotac one for 150

[livid idol]

Not at that price, not worth it anything over $120

[woeful perch]

and some bids for 120 on evga

Bids don't count, look at "completed items"

[hybrid portal]

Ima go to BB and leave it empty on the shelves 😂

[brave violet]

So mean.

[hybrid portal]

Jk I want to tho

[fossil talon]

Yo sell the box on ebay

[brave violet]

get 2k for an empty box. LOL

[heady turtle]

Boo

[spare relic]

Some bot is gonna be real happy to get its owner a nice new gpu :)

[fossil talon]

I'm still thinking about doing it lol. I have two 3070FE boxes rn

[charred remnant]

I feel like you could cause a lot of problems for yourself though if you did manage to sell the box

[woeful perch]

I might sell the box of a 1060 once I buy it from a friend

[heady turtle]

Dbad

[livid idol]

As long as you're clear in the listing that it's only the box, no GPU, there's not really any repercussions to that

[fossil talon]

Exactly

[charred remnant]

Heck I might then, I just figured with like Ebay they might suspend my paypal or something

[livid idol]

Nope, ebay might temporarily hold your account for a week max if the buyer complains but it'll be ruled in your favor since they're stupid for not reading/letting bots buy stuff

[fossil talon]

In bold "Only box, no GPU. For bots"

[livid idol]

Even better, in the title you can CLEARLY say "BOX ONLY NO GPU"

[heady turtle]

Well if you're being clear BOX ONLY ebay can't fo anything

[brave violet]

there some NVIDIA glasses

jajajja

NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 / 3090 ANTI-SCALPER SHADES Hater Blockers / Sun GlassesListed for charity

[charred remnant]

Heck then I might make back the entire cost of my 3070 lol

[livid idol]

The charity listing is a good idea too, send 20% or something to the children's hospital and still make most of your money back

You get a discount on selling fees as a charity listing also

[charred remnant]

Shoot yea, that'll also be a solid tax writeoff

[heady turtle]

Well technically there's nothing to complain about if you clearly label all caps no gpu box only etc

Because that's all you're selling

[fossil talon]

"read the fine print you dimwitted scalper"

[brisk flame]

no

you cannot give me away

[heady turtle]

I would do it but i just feel like it's bad karma and would cause hassle and just a meh move if someone real actually buys it and doesn't read description or something

[brisk flame]

:P

[heady turtle]

😂

giving away 1 @brisk flame

[brisk flame]

rule #9

😤

[heady turtle]

Issa joke

[livid idol]

The thing is the people that complain about it are almost guaranteed to be scalpers that didn't realize their bot bought a box, so they engineer a big sob story about how now they can't actually afford a GPU to guilt you into refunding them

[charred remnant]

Yea, that's fair, I'll see how I feel about it in a couple weeks when I have built my pc. You do have a point about the bad karma though.

[heady turtle]

Dw i wont give you away ☺️

[fossil talon]

We're not trading, we're "borrowing" Sassy

[brisk flame]

[fossil talon]

Best speech lol

Don't forget the 1 star review XD

[heady turtle]

True but i could see someone trying to build their first pc, looking at ebay or something, seeing 1650s go for 400 and then bamm a rtx 3070 for just 600 what a steal and don't read description, also don't want to have to worry if guilt, also the box kinda just nice to have

[strong narwhal]

what should i get if i dont have a budget? radeon or nvidia

[livid idol]

Nvidia

[heady turtle]

What budget?

[strong narwhal]

No budget

[charred remnant]

Yea if money is no object nvidia

[heady turtle]

Ohh sorry

[strong narwhal]

i also think that nvidia is better

[heady turtle]

Rtx 3090

[strong narwhal]

definately going for the 3090 thanks

[livid idol]

Nvidia is often better per dollar too with how inflated the Radeon cards are

[woeful perch]

yep

nvidia also has rtx if you play minecraft

[heady turtle]

Red devil liquid 2000$ 💀

[fossil talon]

Nvidia better package overall

[livid idol]

And that was AFTER they dropped the price because no one bought it

[heady turtle]

Ik saddd

[charred remnant]

Ok I'm angry about that though. I got a 3070 so I was like lets goof around with Minecraft RTX now but I only own the Java edition and they're no longer giving bedrock edition to java edition owners for free

[fossil talon]

And I oop-

[woeful perch]

the only reason you would buy a radeon is if you got a good deal and had a 5000 series amd cpu

[livid idol]

Really? They're not? I thought you just needed to convert your account

[heady turtle]

As long as you had Minecraft before windows 10 edition came out you get it btw you didn't need to log into it

[woeful perch]

for smart access memory

[fossil talon]

Nah SAM doesn't do much perfss

I tested it out

[woeful perch]

rly

[fossil talon]

Only like 3% gains at most

Not worth it

[charred remnant]

I'll look again but last I checked they stopped giving it out for free

[fossil talon]

Also Nvidia has it too now

[woeful perch]

sort of

[fossil talon]

Sam ain't new it's just renamed

[woeful perch]

not rly tho

[livid idol]

Yeah SAM and Re-BAR only give a couple percent gain across the board, sometimes more and sometimes negative gain

[heady turtle]

Also i played rtx Minecraft idk didn't look great btw, mb it was bad map but looked basically same as non rtx

[livid idol]

Load up a big house map with windows and everything, looks gud

[fossil talon]

RTX Minecraft is fun but only 60fps with DLSS is not much as a flex as 2000+ fps on regular java

[spare relic]

The godrays are awful but the ray traced lighting is nice

[charred remnant]

I think that's how it used to be but I just looked now and mojang's site says I don't have bedrock edition

[tender mulch]

yeah, that is over now

The free Bedrock with Java edition

[heady turtle]

Ahh oof i just assume most people owned mc before like 4 years ago XD

[livid idol]

Well I guess I'm glad I converted my account already even though I've never touched bedrock

I was one of the people that bough it when it was $5 lol

[charred remnant]

Yea I never got it because I was like bedrock is stupid and I'm only going to play java.

[heady turtle]

It's got the pocket edition settings it looks icky

[spare relic]

That was a long time ago yeah, early promo for java players

[fossil talon]

I had Microsoft bedrock edition beta when it first came out (it was free at the time) and kept it since

[charred remnant]

I bought minecraft back in middle school so like maybe 2012 or 13?

I just thought it would be a neat thing to goof around with for an hour or two and it just makes me sad I can't

[spare relic]

I like modded mc

[heady turtle]

It's because notch hates you

[tender mulch]

Yeah, I looked at some of the RTX maps, pretty but meh

[charred remnant]

I love modded minecraft but that's why I only use Java and thought redeeming bedrock was a waste of time

[spare relic]

Optifine and shaders

There's a newer mc client thing that streamlines modding, Idr what it's called

[charred remnant]

It's gotten so much easier now with like the curse forge launcher since you can just make custom packs by hitting "custom pack" and then it filters mods that your version supports and automatically downloads the right library mods for you

[spare relic]

It's cool how easy it is to use, the thing I tried setting up didn't work tho xd

[charred remnant]

oof lol

I mean even then there's hundreds of packs just publicly available so you don't really even have to make your own pack either

[livid idol]

Raytracing is mostly a fun gimmick right now, not something you should seek out. It has potential to truly revolutionize graphics in games, but it's still too new.

[charred remnant]

Yea I don't think it will really take off with large adoption until cards with raytracing capability are more mainstream.

[heady turtle]

Supposed to be good in cyberpunk but yeah just a gimmick

[spare relic]

I'm really eager to play MC with shaders at an actually good framerate once I get my computer and I can put my 970 in it

[heady turtle]

And when it takes less perf hit when turning rtx on

[charred remnant]

Yea I'm interested in checking out cyberpunk but I'm waiting until it's a bit cheaper and less buggy

[charred remnant]

That's fair the 30 series cards are a lot better about RT performance than 20 series of Radeon 6000 but even then it is still a sizable hit

[heady turtle]

Tbh I'm never gonna use rtx because i only play multi player games, mb if it comes to mc java

[charred remnant]

The game I'm really excited to use rtx with is Control since ik the game was largely built as a showcase for Nvidia but it also just seems like a really cool game. One of my friends has played some of it and said he really enjoyed it

[livid idol]

Cyberpunk on max settings is a glimpse into the future of gaming, with the dynamic shadows that gradually darken and lighten according to distance from light source. It only works during the day in game though.

[copper matrix]

Oh sorry

[spare relic]

SEUS PTGI is basically ray traced java mc

[heady turtle]

Ohh well maybe I'll try it in like 5-10 years lol

When it finally comes to mc java XD

[charred remnant]

lol I mean can't be any worse than when my sister came back early from a trip and scared the crap out of me while I was playing Alien Isolation in the dark at 2

[heady turtle]

Lol

[hybrid kettle]

20 min till more disappointment

[heady turtle]

Good luck

[idle slate]

first seeing pan am at her car with rtx psycho and 4k hdr was life changing...

[heady turtle]

Nice

Not my thing but glad you liked it

[idle slate]

i managed 60-80fps most of the game and it felt smooth enough

[livid idol]

It's only not your thing because you haven't experience it properly executed

[idle slate]

absolutely beautiful

[heady turtle]

Ehh i mean story mode games, I'm sure the graphics look

[livid idol]

Oh you're more of a multiplayer FPS and RTS kind of guy?

[heady turtle]

Yeah fps

[livid idol]

Fair enough then

[heady turtle]

I may or may not play csgo, overwatch, rainbow and tiny bit of Minecraft on a 3070 lol

[idle slate]

im excited to see what the new ff manages to pull off, ff15 was beautiful at the time

im assuming theyll put in rtx

[livid idol]

Maybe, that would be a game changer if they do it right

But they'd have to make it work on PS5 also

[clear aurora]

Can't wait for that "you were not selected email". 💩

[low niche]

when will the 4090ti super oc 64tb of vram come out

[tender mulch]

Tomorrow

[low niche]

its going to sell out faster than a tesla can go from 0-60

[heady turtle]

The pro max version is coming out tomorrow too

[dawn plover]

Ayo isn’t that like 2.1 sec 😳

[livid idol]

Yes and GPUs have been selling out before most people even get to see them in stock

You might see it in stock for an instant at best buy buy I REALLY feel like their "please wait" thing only helps the bots

[spare relic]

https://tenor.com/view/sorry-guys-vip-only-dancing-dance-moves-gif-17476546

Sorry guys bots only

[umbral briar]

Just go to asia ez

The round trip plane ticket+gpu is cheaper than buying one from scalpers

[tender mulch]

I hear australia actually has them on the shelves

[elder furnace]

where did you get it? what retailer?

[umbral briar]

not online since online retailer prices are around 20-30% above msrp

i just went to a local pc parts supplier and got one in less than 30 mins

[livid idol]

Local stores are pretty good bets

[umbral briar]

local stores have more stable supplies than online retailers

[young quarry]

Mine only has 3060 but they are still 100 over evgas store prices. I want a 3070 or maybe 3080 if I could find one under 800.

[livid idol]

Yep, online has gone to hell with the bots so anything that only has in store shopping is good

[elder furnace]

right, but was it a local chain? or mom and pop in your area? I'd hit up all the Best Buys around if I knew there was a chance I'd get one

[umbral briar]

im not in NA anymore

[elder furnace]

ahh I see

[livid idol]

There's a small chance a Best Buy will have one, but they don't stock them so it would be a return or something that never got picked up

[umbral briar]

i bought it from the same store i bought all my pc upgrade parts

now all i need is a wrx80 motherboard

[elder furnace]

I'm out in the sticks, I could get to a couple of Best Buys, but I think that's all I'd be able to shop

[young quarry]

The store i was at that had the 3060 was a small non chain store. (Wouldn't call it a mom and pops though) (i live in the us)

They supposedly had some 3070 and 3080 but they where gone when I was looking around.

[umbral briar]

i still think microcenter is still one of the better chain stores for pc parts

[livid idol]

For chain stores it's not the best but it's not bad

[umbral briar]

i mean i had no problem getting parts for my old workstation/gaming pc there

[drowsy kiln]

MicroCenter is the only one in the states unless there is another one I don't know of

[umbral briar]

best buy was super bad with customer service when the 1080ti came out

[livid idol]

Fry's is kinda dying

Yeh

[woeful perch]

fry's go bankrupt

[livid idol]

Local Fry's got hit HARD during the riots, had over 3 million in damages

Which is sad seeing it die because it's like, the only place to get electronic components after Radioshack closed. Now where am I going to get resistors and capacitors?

Well I guess they figure if someone is just going to resell higher they should just charge more

Eesh

I never said it was good business practice lol

[woeful perch]

yep

[livid idol]

Yeah no don't worry about it

I believe you

I should probably give some of my local shops a call tomorrow... there's a few I know to be good but they mostly deal in used stuff

Heck I'd even buy the used GPUs at this point

If I could grab something better than I have

[woeful perch]

yeah

[livid idol]

I can refurb it myself

[livid idol]

Got my latest rejection letter from Newegg 🥲

[idle slate]

[elder furnace]

lol should I be hopeful if I haven't gotten a rejection letter yet? I think last time I didn't get my rejection until after the cutoff. This is only my second time trying shuffle

[karmic crag]

if you don't get an email within the first hour then you probably lost

[vital pivot]

So boys. I held the holy grail in my hands today.

The fabled 3090

Unfortunately it was the dell monstrosity 3090

[livid idol]

Well that's better than no 3090

And better than Zotac iirc

[vital pivot]

I was not impressed

The 3070 in my wife’s pc is larger

They actually slapped a custom pcb and instead of having holes in it they just made it shorter

My brother ordered a Alienware. He has shamed me.

[livid idol]

Your brother overpaid for a weird case with below average quality parts

Dell RUINED Alienware

[lone pond]

green PCB 3090

[coarse spindle]

Was alienware ever that good

[lone pond]

[coarse spindle]

Doesn’t really bother me too much

Green PCBs just a fact of life

[lone pond]

$1500 GPU and green PCB?

[coarse spindle]

Yea

[lone pond]

and its consumer?

like

cmon man

[coarse spindle]

Quadros had that

[lone pond]

Are quadros consumer?...

[coarse spindle]

Yes

if you're talking used sure

and where is somebody using a $5,500 gpu with 48gb in a consumer market

when 2 3090/titans is better

[coarse spindle]

Home lab and such

Still not private sector

[lone pond]

deep learning is the only possible thing you're using that for

used quadros are the only practical quadros

[charred remnant]

Or also the entry level quadros, like I have a quadro laptop because of the driver certification and stuff but I also game on it some.

[coarse spindle]

@lone pond not wrong

[charred remnant]

It's definitely not an ideal gaming setup I'll say though lol

[coarse spindle]

I have a rig w a 980x and a k5000

Got a good deal

[lone pond]

rtx 8000 gets smashed by 3090

no reason to buy it other than used

GV100, sure if you want to spend 10 grand

[umbral briar]

theyre still selling the p series quadros in my area

[scenic coral]

Is there any news to when the gpu prices will subside??

[umbral briar]

nope

we got miners and silicon supply shortages everywhere

[fossil talon]

Could be another year or more

LTT says 2023

[scenic coral]

Need to update my rig i got x570,r7 3800x and 1060oc for my gpu 😅😅😅

[umbral briar]

buy a second hand gpu

just dont pay above msrp for one

or buy a used mining card

[scenic coral]

I heard taiwan has a lot of stocksbut they got this backround check if your a miner or gamer haha

[umbral briar]

most places in asia have stable stock

[scenic coral]

Can you recommend a legit seller or site to buy some?

[umbral briar]

just dont expect seeing any stock from big name online retailers

[umbral briar]

i got mine from a local store

[scenic coral]

Good for you its like looking for an easter egg for the right price haha thanks anyways keep safe guys

[umbral briar]

not really in my case hahaha i just went to a local store where i get my pc upgrades

[brisk swan]

Where are you from?

[brisk swan]

Im in iran , its stable but not msrp

[wraith pasture]

[heady turtle]

@vital pivot when you win shuffle for millionth tim you can now pay it with dodge XD

[hollow dawn]

lol

[charred remnant]

Yea I mean I'm rocking a laptop with a P1000

[lone pond]

I just want a 3090. Is that really so much to ask?

[heady turtle]

Yes

[lone pond]

🙁

[drowsy kiln]

I mean I found 2 RTX 3070s for $700 each this morning. It's possible to find them close to MSRP you just gotta look.

[vital pivot]

You should have purchased them

Then sell them on eBay.

[drowsy kiln]

Ofc, on their way arriving on Thursday

[vital pivot]

And buy doge with the profit.

;/)

[drowsy kiln]

Easily $1600 profit if I sell for the absolute high end of the scalper price.

[vital pivot]

I just can get over that dell 3090 I played with last night

[fallow vortex]

yo, you guys think a 2070 super can push 1440p?

[drowsy kiln]

Yea, I've gone from an RX 580 -> GTX 1070ti -> Using an RTX 2080 (flipped it for profit) and now possibly will keep one of the 3070s

[vital pivot]

That card was half the weight of my wife’s 3070

Gino yes it can

[fallow vortex]

cause with the way the market is rn, im bout to just buy one off ebay

[drowsy kiln]

Mhm, 2070s are great for 1440p for the price. Can easily push 60-75 FPS in most titles

If not more

[fallow vortex]

on 1080 their pretty good as well?

[vital pivot]

Yes

[fallow vortex]

dope

[drowsy kiln]

Take a look at your local market tho, I've found an RTX 2080 for $350 and an RTX 2080s for $625 would assume your paying over that for the 2070s wherever your buying it.

[vital pivot]

Evga is even raping the bstock prices.

[fallow vortex]

ebay

[vital pivot]

They had 2080tis with a 1 yr warranty going for 1k-1.4K

[fallow vortex]

damn

[drowsy kiln]

Yea assumed so, eBay 2070 Supers are like $900 or something cant remember. Checking Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp would be a good idea even just a quick scan to see if there is anything for a better price.

[vital pivot]

My 2080ti retailed for $1600 15 months ago

[fallow vortex]

oh yea, completely forgot those sites existed

[karmic crag]

ebay isn't a good place for cards right now

at all

try local sellers like offerup

[fallow vortex]

ill definitely try

[elder furnace]

lol I got excited about calling a few local shops this morning, the first one I called said they had a 3070 in stock so I was psyched......$1700......the employee sounded embarrassed to even tell me, she immediately apologized

[drowsy kiln]

I would be embarrassed to say that too. Thats over RTX 3090 MSRP

[elder furnace]

yeah, it's outrageous...just got off the phone with another local place whose employee mansplained to me for 10 minutes about how bots are buying them all and I should try nowinstock.net so this is going great

[drowsy kiln]

Yea, local places are intresting

[green harness]

Oof, sorry to hear you're having those experiences @elder furnace. Good on you for putting in that kind of effort though

[eager saffron]

try the EVGA queue system thats how i got mine

[halcyon plover]

It is only for us i think

[elder furnace]

thank you! I didn't know that was a thing

[hybrid kettle]

Nowinstock is a terrible notification system I don’t know what he’s talking about

[elder furnace]

@hybrid kettle I know, especially in the US, he was dumb

[hybrid kettle]

Only useful thing is the occasional bb drop it tells you about

But notifications are on average 5 min late

So basically worthless

[green harness]

The EVGA queue will be tough for anything but a new release (even that will be difficult) as they're still shipping cards to people who queued last year, but may as well get in the queue asap

[dense panther]

the evga queue is us cad and mexico

[green harness]

They also have an eu queue, but it's very very slow

[tender mulch]

I mean so is the US que. I signed up in December/January and still haven't received my buy opportunity. :/

[dense panther]

for the 3060 i entered the queue 1min after launch and got an email 2 days later

[green harness]

I signed up in October for some cards and still haven't been notified. The EU queue is slow when compared to the slow US queue 😬

[green harness]

And?

[dense panther]

if you register day after launch its no use

to many people already registered

[green harness]

State of the queues is tracked here for those interested: https://forums.evga.com/m/tm.aspx?m=3108092&p=3278

[dense panther]

for the 3060ti i registered the day the que opened and got the email to buy it 1 month later

so you really need to registered at launch if you dont want to wait 5 month

[karmic crag]

^^

evga queue is basically worthless now

you can still sign up, but you're not gonna get a card for a LONG while

[warm storm]

👀 any canadians

If so not sure if its still in stock

[dense panther]

1300cad for 6700xt

[drowsy kiln]

Considering that you can get an RTX 3070 even at scalper price for like $1100 USD on eBay or even cheaper locally not a great deal. RTX 3070s are iirc are like 20% or something better.

[warm storm]

Sorry it was 999 cad when it was instock

999 + tax

[tender mulch]

Actually, it trades blows with the 3070 depending on the game. Average is only 4% slower on 1080p and 8% slower on 1440p. Also remember that's Canada and not US pricing. 😉 so about $795 USD https://www.techspot.com/review/2227-geforce-rtx-3070-vs-radeon-6700-xt/

[drowsy kiln]

1300 cad is 1000 usd so same price for a 3070

[tender mulch]

It was 999 though

Sold out

now it's from a scalper

[drowsy kiln]

Ah. Well clicked on it late then

[covert forge]

3070 is cool

[tender mulch]

Yeah I just checked again also, $1300 now :/ From a third party.

[drowsy kiln]

Yea I saw it when it was $1300. For thr same price 3070 would be better IMO. Mainly for dedicated Nvenc encoders

[covert forge]

Where is the link?

Alr thx

Should I just camp BB app and hope to god I get a 3070 FE

[tender mulch]

They're not in store

[lone pond]

does anyone have any reccomends for a graphics card under 300 dollars that will run most games

any card

[heady turtle]

Try find an rx 580 8gb that's not a scam on ebay

[spare salmon]

good luck with that. you literally have to hit the "Add to Cart" right when it shows up, otherwise the bots'll probably beat u to it lol

[dawn plover]

if times were normal then i'd recommend a 5600xt tbh

[spare salmon]

4gb is good as well

[dawn plover]

but times aren't normal smh

[heady turtle]

Well it's okay but not really 8gb is faster then 4gb

Also lager buffer iirc

[hybrid kettle]

You have to camp a lot

Also @covert forge the FE get restocked less or later than the first wave now

[covert forge]

Alr thx

[spare salmon]

not too much faster. the 4gb is still a very good 1080p card, and at 1080p, 4gb VRAM is quite enough

[heady turtle]

Fair enough but you'd want to pay a good bit less imo

[woeful perch]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-Radeon-RX-580-Gaming-X-8GB-RX580/393252764627?epid=15034160911&hash=item5b8fb0fbd3:g:TvkAAOSwwgRgfO0O

that might work, or the price will go up a ton

[heady turtle]

That's gonna go up in price still 6 days left

[woeful perch]

yeah

[wheat wharf]
