[tender mulch]

Wanna game? Click two button and boom, game overclocks

[heady turtle]

Up core /power

[tender mulch]

Wanna mine, boom, settings already there

[steel wolf]

the green is obviously excepted

[heady turtle]

What settings is that

[tender mulch]

MH/s is super low

Take your core clock to -200

[heady turtle]

Try -200

[steel wolf]

afterburner isnt as accurate on evga cards

i just change it to 200

[tender mulch]

Works just fine lol

Anyway, Daggerhash on Nicehash yeah?

[heady turtle]

Yep best gpu oc tool imo

[heady turtle]

Yeah that's what the signed one runs

[tender mulch]

SO it's mining Eth

[heady turtle]

Yeah

[tender mulch]

yeah that MH/s is really low

[heady turtle]

Yeah

[steel wolf]

there lol

[heady turtle]

I get 60ish with 3070

[tender mulch]

Are you playing a game or something else in the background?

[heady turtle]

How long did you let it run for? Takes a sec

[steel wolf]

im watching tv

dishanywhere

[tender mulch]

On your PC?

[steel wolf]

and im runnning my octoprint

[steel wolf]

yea

[tender mulch]

Need to disable GPU acceleration for whatever else you're doing

It's taking away from the mining rate

Youtube does the same thing but not as much

That's an average rate for a 3070 on Eth

You should be way above that

[livid idol]

I'm getting 48 MH/s on my 3060, tuning is definitely needed for you

[tender mulch]

Working on that lol

But can't with all the background GPU tasks

Taking up GPU resources

[steel wolf]

i turned it off

[livid idol]

Yup
Lmk if you need another set of eyes

[steel wolf]

its always appreciated

coreclock is jumping around

[tender mulch]

Mine does a tad

[heady turtle]

That's normal

[steel wolf]

i maxxed out the slider on afterburner lol

[heady turtle]

Yeah mines like 100 to 200

[steel wolf]

for the mem clock

[heady turtle]

Not gonna be stable

[steel wolf]

wanna jump in call guys

[heady turtle]

Im in bed atm sorry

[steel wolf]

again watercooled

[heady turtle]

Still

[steel wolf]

mem clock is stable

[heady turtle]

Probs rejected shares

[steel wolf]

its resting at 10652

[tender mulch]

Take the mem down a little bit

for grins and giggles

Pop in an even 1000

[steel wolf]

i havent ahd a rejected one yet

[tender mulch]

It won't show rejected in the client as far as I know

At least mine doesn't

[steel wolf]

therye saying clean and getting accepted short after that

[tender mulch]

Take the mem clock down anyway

[livid idol]

You were doing nicehash yeah? They have an auto tuning option you can use as a baseline idea of where to start

[tender mulch]

to 1000

[steel wolf]

<_<

[heady turtle]

It can take a bit for rejected shares sometimes

[tender mulch]

Take the mem clock down to see if the MH/s goes up

[steel wolf]

it only dropped mem clock by 400mhz

[heady turtle]

Mine does tbf

[livid idol]

30 series is weird, it will be stable on high memory but perform slower sometimes

[heady turtle]

Yeah that too acc

[tender mulch]

Ayyyy

that's looking better

[steel wolf]

so much for watching tv lmao

[tender mulch]

Yeah lol

XD

[steel wolf]

i dont have cable lol

[tender mulch]

Go into browser, turn off GPU acceleration

Same for Discord

[steel wolf]

in chrome?

[tender mulch]

Ye

Or whatever app you watch TV in

[steel wolf]

how tf i do that in chrome

[heady turtle]

Probs flags?

[steel wolf]

nvm got it

[tender mulch]

Settings - Advanced - use Hardware acceleration when available

Gotta relaunch too

[steel wolf]

lmao thanks guys

[tender mulch]

Same for Discord

[steel wolf]

i did already

[heady turtle]

Will they not run like 💩 with no gpu acceleration tho?

[tender mulch]

Good

Nope

[steel wolf]

i have 9900k

[tender mulch]

Mine runs fine

[steel wolf]

ill managed

ima try to watch tv again lol

[tender mulch]

Now play with your core, mem and power setting until you get 90+ MH/s with nothing running in the background. MIght even try +950 Mem

-200 core

[steel wolf]

i shot to 100 already

[tender mulch]

and 65% power

Heh

good

[heady turtle]

I tried before on my 3600 and it was choppy, weird

[tender mulch]

I have a 3700x

IDK

[steel wolf]

my 9900k has a kraken z73

temps arent a issue for me

[tender mulch]

EVGA CLC 360

[steel wolf]

lmao

[tender mulch]

My 65W CPU can pull 125 watts

[steel wolf]

my system is a mutt

i have a1300w psu

i took no chances

[tender mulch]

SOunds like you're set up a little better now anyway

[steel wolf]

oh hell yea

but i dont minethis card 24/7

[tender mulch]

Triple the oputput

Mine on it all day err day, not gonna hurt it

Just set up a separate profile for gaming

WIth whatever clocks, mem and power limit you'd normally use and save it for easy switching

[steel wolf]

but i dont keep it on all day and night

[tender mulch]

Ah, gotcha

[heady turtle]

Then mine when not gaming and switch to default profile when gaming

/oc'd gaming profile

[steel wolf]

thats the plan

ive been swamped with college work

so i havent been gaming

could i possibly crank up the mem clock till i get rejected pings

[tender mulch]

Not rejected

pay attention to MH/s rate

That's the important part

You want that rate as high as possible because that's what matters

[steel wolf]

AND I CAN STILL WATCH TV

lol

[tender mulch]

Lol

[steel wolf]

im watching street outlaws

ima crank it back to 1400

shot up to 91.33

temps are 38c

not too shabby

[lone pond]

How can i use free sync without displayport

[tender mulch]

HDMI 2.0 I believe

Both monitor and GPU have to have it tho

[charred remnant]

Did that change? I thought no hdmi adaptive sync on nvidia cards

[tender mulch]

Ah, it's HDMI 2.1

NVIDA GeForce GTX 16 series/RTX 20 series (Turing) and higher will support variable refresh rate over HDMI on displays which support this feature over HDMI 2.1. For the best gaming experience, we recommend a G-SYNC Compatible display. To enable this:

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4764/~/do-g-sync-compatible-displays-work-on-both-displayport-and-hdmi-with-geforce

2.1 cable and monitor

[charred remnant]

granted any monitor with hdmi 2.1 will probably has dp

[steel wolf]

yo vintage

think it would be a good idea to get my 2070 super in my rig @tender mulch

its also water cooled lol

[tender mulch]

GOod for $3 a day

[steel wolf]

i have enough to make a second rig

[steep wind]

I can't wait for GPU pricing to go back down to reasonable levels. With Nvidia's laxing of their Virtualization GPU Passthrough, I might start looking at doing a Linux Host OS with a Windows Guest VM.

[steel wolf]

good luck

prices might not stabilize for a very long time

[fervent apex]

Thoughts about the Titan V?

[fervent apex]

I agree. As long as you have people mining Bitcoin and Etherium.

[tender mulch]

Miners arent the majority of the issue lol

[wide glen]

Yeah its just a major silicon shortage due to multiple world wide events on the internet

There are still some being sold in physcial doe

[steel wolf]

its a mixture of a shortage supply and the expectancy of the card....the 3080 was made to be one of the biggest leaps and best card on the market (f to those who bought a 2080 ti) and with the price they set on the 3080 the price to performance was extremely unbalanced

miners were just a byproduct

everyone knew that the 3080 was gonna be a paper launch

the supply was so rough it shouldve been considered sand paper

[charred remnant]

I still find it hilarious how amd literally advertised 6000 series as "not being a paper launch" and that they would have plenty of stock yet amd cards are exceedingly rare

[steel wolf]

nononono

6000 series card was a vapor launch

[charred remnant]

lol

[steel wolf]

f*** a paper launch

that was vapor

amd themselves were blocking people from coming on their site trying to buy their ards

i was trying on 3 different devices and got blocked on all 3 lmao

the funny thing about amd stock is that not only they had to supply their own cards they had to supply xbox and playstation

so that was literally vapor

[charred remnant]

Yea they are using the same node as nvidia so they're not even getting all of tsmc's 7nm production and then splitting it across consoles and gpus

[steel wolf]

i had a better chance at getting a 3080 then a any amd card

i had 3 3080s 3 3060 tis and 1 3070

and no 6000 series cards

[rose spruce]

I thought that today might be the day I finally achieve a GPU from the Shuffle, just based on how bad the bundles were... Got my not selected email. 0-50 now. I think I'm taking a break and I'll camp out at Microcenter prior to 3080ti. Is it value proposition? Hell no, but likely my best chance to get a card anytime soon -_-

[steel wolf]

its a shaved down 3090 in a nutshell

[torpid lake]

i got a 980 ti, do I need to do driver updates or whatever on a separate computer or can i plug it in to my current build (all new parts) and have it run fine?

[vital pivot]

Plug it

If you had any only video cards run DDU on safe mode

If not then just grab the current nVidia drivers and enjoy

[torpid lake]

okie, but wdym by your second message?

[vital pivot]

If this is a fresh build don’t worry about ddu. DDU is a program designed to remove all previous video card drivers.

[torpid lake]

ah okay

yeah this is a fresh build, im putting it together tomorrow but just got a 980 ti off of ebay

[vital pivot]

Good luck with the new card

Heh. Newegg just dropped a asus 3080 tuf in the store

[lone pond]

6000 series cards are very heavily ramping up in production

[charred remnant]

Interesting I hadn't heard that but it doesn't really change anything for me since I have my 3070

[lone pond]

they drop like crazy on amazon

all preorders set for next month or two

easily 30+ times a day

[void cedar]

Every time I get a stock notif for Amazon it’s gone before I can load the page

[lone pond]

alot are fake these days now

they were really accurate in december

[charred remnant]

Ah I just didn't really bother with anything other than shuffle or EVGA queue since they were dependent on me being there that instant. I won my 3070 and the 3060 my friend bought from me from shuffle

[void cedar]

I think it might be Amazon bugging out a bit too because it will let me “add” it to cart but then by the time I get to my cart it says it’s unavailable.

What is shuffle?

[charred remnant]

Newegg shuffle, they raffle off the opportunity to buy the cards

if you're in the US you can do it idk about other countries

[void cedar]

Ohh okay, I’ve really been out of loop except sitting in on the occasional bestbuy drop

[charred remnant]

You enter between 1-3pm Est Monday-Fri typically however more recently there have been some weekend drops evidently

[void cedar]

Is it drawn every night then?

[charred remnant]

yup

link is https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

They have more information there and its worth bookmarking if you'll be doing it daily

unfortantely though a lot of stuff has been bundles

[winged verge]

Can someone explain qaudros to me? I see them used for super high end high resolution things but I’ve still been told the 3090 is the best at that

[charred remnant]

Quadro is for workstations

they're not for gaming

They're significantly more money but its because of their huge certified driver suite for professional applications like solidworks, premiere and the bigger ones for data center and ai workloads

Unless you need them for a specific professional application buy a standard geforce card

[winged verge]

Thanks!

[charred remnant]

Yea no problem if you want a more in depth explanation I think linus has a video on it I might be able to find

[winged verge]

Nah dw

Ltt is where ive seen them used

I’ll go find that video

Thanks!

[charred remnant]

Glad to help

[knotty vortex]

How many people do you think enter each shuffle?

[idle slate]

tens of thousands, i doubt everyone enters for every item though so different items probably have vastly different numbers of entries

[lone pond]

whats better rx 580 8gb or gtx 1060 6gb

1060

[crisp moth]

do I want hardware accelerated gpu scheduling on for a 2060 super?

[magic wing]

580

Any day of the week

[heady turtle]

Well depends on prices of the 580 and 1060

[heady turtle]

You can't add hardware scheduling

[keen flower]

Looking for an inexpensive graphics card that is compatible with my new Gigabyte X590 Pro ax motherboard. I don't play games with the computer but would like a good reliable motherboard. In the past I used the Geforce 560's graphic cards but they don't seem to work with the X590. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

[charred remnant]

If you don't need any sort of gpu power besides a display output a GT 710 is your go to

[keen flower]

I have gpu power so that isn't a problem

Doesn't the new graphics card require PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)??

[heady turtle]

Nope pcie is backwards compatible

[keen flower]

So in your opinion what is the best inexpensive graphic card out there that will be compatable with my Aorus X590 Pro AX?

[heady turtle]

For just output? No gaming? A gt710 or a gt 1030 gddr5 version

[dusk veldt]

the 560s was end of life a few years ago. it will still work in a limited capacity, however it's OLD (2011) and will be out performed by virtually anything. if you don't need any actual gpu power, get a cpu with onboard graphics as the motherboard has display out already.

[keen flower]

Yeah I bought one purchased the Intel Core i7-10700K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 5.1 GHz Unlocked LGA1200 and it is supposed to have good graphics.....

[heady turtle]

Did you mean a z590 motherboard? X590 is amd

[heady turtle]

It will do if you just want to run 1 or 2 monitors

[keen flower]

Just one monitor

I purchaed a combo thru Amazon for my Gigabyte X590 Pro ex and it came with the 17-10700K

[drowsy kiln]

I'm confused... how x590 but an i7 10700k

[heady turtle]

Can you link it? X590 isn't for intel chips so it wouldn't fit are you sure it's not z590?

[heady turtle]

I'm pretty sure they mean z590 but im not sure why it would bundle x590 if it acc is an x590 and not a typo

[keen flower]

I am sorry it is a Z590

[heady turtle]

Ahh okay

[drowsy kiln]

Yea ok makes a lot more sense

[heady turtle]

The onboard graphics will do you fine then if you're not gaming

[keen flower]

Yeah I am definiety not gaming....have no interest at all in that

[heady turtle]

The onboard graphics will do you perfectly then

[keen flower]

ok I will definitely try it thank you so much for your help it is greatly appreciated

[heady turtle]

Np

[ancient copper]

a friend of mine asked to help him build a pc but for around 800. Idk know much about budget graphics cards having a 2070 super knowing i was going to be better than console. Is it worth building a pc for that price when you can get a ps5 with better performance for less money?

[halcyon plover]

Is it only to game?

[ancient copper]

yep

[halcyon plover]

Yeah then ps5 will be better

[heady turtle]

Yeah pc market screwed atm

[ancient copper]

thats what i figured. i dont want to piece something together for him that doesnt make sense. waste of money right now

[heady turtle]

Yeah wait a year or 2

[charred remnant]

Granted is a PS5 much easier to get rn? Or is newegg just artificially sticking them in shuffle like they did with some of intel processors

[ancient copper]

no id agree its not like he can just go buy one but if the opportunity came to buy an RTX card or a ps5 for a budget under 1000.. go with the PS5

[charred remnant]

Yea you have a good point I kinda skimmed and didn't pay attention to the budget.

[heady turtle]

Well yeah the cheapest you'll get an rtx card unless you get extremely lucky at best buy is like $500 if you're lucky then you need to buy case psu cpu mobo ram on top of that for 500 not a chance

[drowsy kiln]

With $800 it's possible to buy like a $500-600 iBuyPower prebuilt or something locally with an i5 10400f and GTX 1660 Super. If he really wants a PC that would be a good option, then get a better GPU or something when market goes back to normal

With $200 you can get a better case and upgrade to 16gb if it isn't already. Plus a better cooler since they ship with coolers close to intel stock

[fast flint]

Buying used could also be an option if any of the prices make sense

[heady turtle]

They're close to a grand atm

[drowsy kiln]

I've seen them for $600 maybe $700 max for the past 2-3 months

[heady turtle]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali516/p/N82E16883360116

[drowsy kiln]

I'm talking local. OfferUp/FB Marketplace not new on Newegg

"iBuyPower prebuilt or something locally"

[heady turtle]

Ohh i didn't see locally but still

[drowsy kiln]

It's an option to consider. Not the best option but for $600 it's not a bad system at all; gives you pretty good 1080p performance. I bought one for $450 back in February, was able to easily get over 100fps on max settings in Warzone.

[heady turtle]

I'd say they've gone up in price tbh

But yeah it would

[drowsy kiln]

Saw one the other day posted for $300 with a 10400f and 1650. The 1650 can sell on eBay for like $200 gives you $700 for a GPU; with $700 you have a lot of options for GPUs

[torpid lake]

I found a 1070ti 8gb on eBay for $400, but it's been sitting there since may 2020. Is it a safe buy/anybody know why it hasn't been bought yet?

[hollow dawn]

Bruh

[heady turtle]

they were really underpricing dam

[hollow dawn]

4 sellers with the same picture

On eBay

What a scam

[heady turtle]

also 1650s going for like 300 on ebay lol

[hollow dawn]

Lmao

[heady turtle]

weird, mb link it? kinda sus tho

[torpid lake]

okay, what's mb link?

[heady turtle]

maybe link it?

[torpid lake]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/283893938485?hash=item421965b935:g:KtkAAOSwcwReyYGP

I recently bought a 980ti on eBay for like $400 but then saw this and felt kinda dumb

But it looks pretty suspicious so I wanted to look into it

[steep wind]

I... think the 980Ti is slightly more powerful than a 1070Ti?

But I can't remember.

[tender mulch]

That ebay is sus lol

[steep wind]

I wouldn't say so. He's got 100% positive feedback

Oh wait.

[compact musk]

that doesnt mean much

[steep wind]

He has 1 feedback.

Wait.

[torpid lake]

Other way around, 1070ti is slightly more powerful

And ye

[tender mulch]

Heh

[heady turtle]

in the last few months, they have over 200 reviews overall tho

[steep wind]

He's been on ebay since 2012, and a fairly high feedback score.

[torpid lake]

It was a g1 gaming card though

[tender mulch]

If it sounds too good to be true it is

[torpid lake]

^ what I was thinking

[steep wind]

I'd go for it IMO

[tender mulch]

1800 watchers and no buys??

Nah

[steep wind]

Yeah

[heady turtle]

it looks too sus imo

[steep wind]

Ebay is super protective of customers.

[heady turtle]

too good to be true

[steep wind]

Just go for it, if they send you a rock or a dud GPU you can get your money back easy.

[compact musk]

holy thats alot

[tender mulch]

Ya

[steep wind]

Also, there's physical images of the card, so I say it isn't sus.

[tender mulch]

Lol

Copy pasta from other scam ads lol

[steep wind]

Honestly on Ebay, buying an item is never the wrong decision.

[heady turtle]

not easy if they send you something, way harder to get money back

[steep wind]

Because you can always get your money back.

[steep wind]

Not true

[tender mulch]

Not always

Plenty people been screwed on ebay

[steep wind]

You can just take a video of your unboxing and GG you can get your money back.

Sellers get screwed way more often than buyers.

Especially if you use PayPal

[tender mulch]

If only it were that easy.....

[steep wind]

It IS that easy.

[drowsy kiln]

I've seen that seller before; heard nothing but scams from him

[heady turtle]

its not that easy

[steep wind]

It's 10000% that easy. I've personally done it myself. PayPal was like "Oh shit, yeah here's your money back, talk to Ebay about it and you can get the seller reported"

I've never had a poor experience with Ebay and PayPal getting money back from a scam item.

[hybrid kettle]

Does bot not exist anymore or is that word now not filtered

[steep wind]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tender mulch]

Then please tell me how scammers are getting away with selling 200 cards cheap and people aren't getting refunds.

[karmic crag]

same happened to me

[steep wind]

They didn't use PayPal

[karmic crag]

ebay/PP has a really ironclad buyers protection

[heady turtle]

theres been people even in this server that have had problems with sktechy ebay listings trying to get their money back

[steep wind]

Did they use PayPal?

If you don't use PayPal on Ebay that's asking for trouble.

[tender mulch]

They did

[karmic crag]

sometimes the seller will use a burner, take your money, then delete the account before you resolve the transaction, but that rarely happens

[steep wind]

Then they must have gotten a crappy CS rep.

[tender mulch]

bveen happening a lot lately TBH

[karmic crag]

even if it does paypal's got you covered

[steep wind]

^

[tender mulch]

Nope

[steep wind]

Yeah

[heady turtle]

not neccesarily

[tender mulch]

Go research a bit

People getting hosed

[karmic crag]

maybe we've had different experiences then

because the examples i listed have actually happened to me

ebay/PP saved my rump twice

[steep wind]

Yeah, I've never had a poor experience with PayPal or Ebay CS before. They are what Amazon CS should strive to be.

Amazon CS blows chunks

[karmic crag]

the customer service reps at ebay are also pretty kind

[tender mulch]

There are ways around the protections

[karmic crag]

they're SUPER lenient in my experience, and very understanding

[tender mulch]

It's been happening.

[drowsy kiln]

Yea, I haven't been scammed but friend purchased 1070ti for $200 told him it was scam he never was able to get his money back.

[karmic crag]

a lot of the amazon CS reps have trouble understanding my issues though

[steep wind]

Probably didn't try hard enough TBH.

[tender mulch]

Ya, it's getting really sucky

[karmic crag]

amazon?

[drowsy kiln]

Doesn't matter how hard you try; he submitted a request 5 days after he never received a tracking number eBay and PayPal both said they couldn't refund anything.

He called eBay customer support they couldn't do anything either

[steep wind]

5 days is a bit long.

Should have done it the day after he was supposed to get a tracking number.

[drowsy kiln]

5 days isn't long. You have the money back gaurentee lasts for 30 days

[steep wind]

Should have also attempted to contact the seller.

[tender mulch]

Kinda hard when their account is gone

[drowsy kiln]

He contacted seller, seller said he would ship on that 4th day then he contacted eBay

And yea account was gone like a week in

[steep wind]

Screenshots help also.

I always keep records of ebay purchases just in case the eBay reps try to pull a fast one.

[drowsy kiln]

He sent screenshots. I've been flipping computers for a long time now I've delt with scammers numerous times, tried everything to get his money back nothing worked. Ended up getting him an GTX 1660 about a month later but he was still out $200 that he will not see again

[steep wind]

They haven't done it to me, but I'm sure the primary reason these people are getting gypped out of their money is because they didn't get enough documentation.

[tender mulch]

XD

[drowsy kiln]

He had screenshots and message threads. Payment verification with eBay and PayPal as well as screenshots showing he never recieved a tacking number. It's not common but it happens

[lone pond]

Whom is excited about the new Radeon software and rx 7000?

[hybrid kettle]

Amd cards don’t exist

[tender mulch]

THey all going into consoles

[heady turtle]

Wont be for a year or 2 anyway I'd say

[vital pivot]

Holy flying cow feces. Today’s shuffle is a smorgasbord of tech.

[drowsy kiln]

Haven't checked yet.

[hybrid kettle]

Gigabyte releasing all the 3090s today

Weird looking 6800xt

[vital pivot]

I only want evga

[hybrid kettle]

2 3080, 2 3070, and 1 3060

[hybrid kettle]

Evga cards are not on shuffle because they only go to queue

Or Best Buy

[vital pivot]

You are absolutely wrong

I have seen evga in the shuffle several times

[heady turtle]

Why only evga?

[hybrid kettle]

They’ve been in just not as frequently as most other companies

[vital pivot]

Evga has the best warranty, support and customer service, along with the fabled setup program.

Well here in the US anyway.

Warranty in the Eu is weird

[heady turtle]

I see, what do you mean by fabled setup?

And how is it weird in eu lol?

[vital pivot]

Sorry. Fabled Step up

[heady turtle]

Ahh

[vital pivot]

In the eu (UK anyway) the reseller handles the warranty not the MFG for some items.

Anyway I don’t have time to be specific.

99% of my discord use is via mobile so it contributes to a lot of fat fingered statements.

[heady turtle]

It's okay lol that's fair, yeah it's usually handled by the retailer

[charred remnant]

I have a 3070 FTW3 from shuffle. However a majority of them are going to other retailers I've only seen evga cards like 4 times at most

Also geez that $55 psu bundled with a 5900x

[green harness]

Please don't spread misinformation. People get enough of that

[karmic crag]

anyone having trouble entering the shuffle?

https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

in case someone needs it

exactly

[vital pivot]

I didn’t enter.

Same crap bad bundles.

[fast flint]

Im in canada so no shuffle for me 😦

[vital pivot]

Dang. I’m sorry

[fast flint]

Doesnt matter for i have i decent computer

with a 1660 ti and a 5600x

[fossil talon]

If you have a relative in the States, you can dropship it to Canada

[fast flint]

Yeah ik but i do not know anyone in the States

[fossil talon]

Although sign customs as "gift" or using a business account

[warm spindle]

You know me

[fast flint]

Hmm

[warm spindle]

[karmic crag]

not sure you're allowed to sell here

[soft ginkgo]

oh my bad

[karmic crag]

rule 9

no problem, just try not to do it again

[soft ginkgo]

for sure thanks for the heads up

[lone pond]

Man i kinda wish there were more 3060 3070 combos. Tbh the 3090 is beyond silly to purchase even at its msrp unless you use it for work.

[heady turtle]

Well not entirely, overpriced sure but better gpu then 3080 and 24gb ram for whatever reason

[lone pond]

Yes but i usually go off performance margins

3080 is the actual flagship. 3090 is just a titan

So now the 3080ti will just be what it always was: a ram cut down of the 3090

[charred remnant]

Yea and granted shortages played into it I would also say but I definitely think rebranding as a XX90 was a good move since people were a lot more ready to buy them that wouldn't have ever considered a titan. or at least from what I've seen

[heady turtle]

100% they just upped some ppl that bout xx80 tis to titan basically

[charred remnant]

Yea because I think a lot of people saw the titan as a break from the lineup where now it's just another part of the lineup

[static zinc]

the 3090 has 82 of 84 active CU cores so there could even be a 3090ti right?

Even the pro line cards are going for more than msrp from what ive heard

not surprising since they are 25% cheaper this generation

[grizzled dust]

I entered the 3070 with the ram bundle like 12 seconds after the event started i hope i win 😄

[heady turtle]

Shuffle isn't speed wise btw

[grizzled dust]

some day

[lone pond]

Aright Newegg, send a graphics card my way. I’ll be waiting on my inbox for my private link

[charred remnant]

I mean it's not a special link. The product is just added to your cart and you navigate to the website. I didn't even open my win email I just read the subject and immediately went to newegg

[vital pivot]

I am abstain from the shuffles to help you guys win. I will only do EVGA Shuffles.

[charred remnant]

If it was a special link or something I'm sure people would attempt to make crawlers or bots to steal the links.

[lone pond]

Then Newegg add it to my cart!!

[vital pivot]

And your only choice is to buy it. Clicking save for later will remove it from the cart

[charred remnant]

Just play the random chance game took me nearly 4 months of daily shuffles.

[lone pond]

Give me 1 more month then lol

[vital pivot]

I’ve won 8 times.

[charred remnant]

Yea, they don't want people holding stock without buying it. By making you buy it in that window it makes sure that if you're not buying it that they can offer it to the next person who is ready to buy

[charred remnant]

I've won twice, an Asus tuf 3060 that is in my friend's pc, and my evga 3070 ftw3

[vital pivot]

My last win was a gigabyte 3090 combo

My wife didn’t like the idea of me shelling out $2400+ on a video card.

Neither did I.

[calm crow]

So you just decided to win the shuffle 8 times

[charred remnant]

That's valid, I entered every shuffle under $800 when I was trying to win. I didn't bother entering the ones that I couldn't afford.

[calm crow]

or rather you’ve decided to enter the shuffle after winning 7 times

[vital pivot]

I can afford it. That wasn’t the issue. It’s the idea of paying so much over msrp and getting a motherboard that isn’t compatible with my cpus.

If they are gonna stick you with a motherboard combo they should have both platforms not just mostly AMD.

I have 4 Intel box’s at home and one ryzen system.

[calm crow]

or maybe. They simply don’t have that motherboard in stock with the intel chip. So that’s why they lack the option between the two and give you choice of whether or not to select that bundle

[winged pendant]

What kind BS is that? Someone wins multiple times but who have been playing havnt won even once?

[vital pivot]

I’m Irish

[calm crow]

Yeah it’s how it is. What a shame they’ve won something they’ve entered for even though they don’t want part of the bundle and complain about it.

[charred remnant]

At this point most of the bundles are being dictated by the distributors not by newegg. That's why we see things like a 5900x with a $55 psu today or all the 3090s that have been paired with literal bomb psu's.

[winged pendant]

If you won, you should be taken off the list so someone else can win in my opinion.

[vital pivot]

The decision on not to purchase was made after I won.

[calm crow]

Nice

[vital pivot]

And the wife was involved so yeah. Happy wife happy life.

[charred remnant]

Some people need more than one part like a cpu and a gpu. Or in my case I won a 3060 and kept entering until I got a 3070 and now a good buddy of mine has the 3060 in his system. I would have stuck with the 3060 if it was all I could get but since I managed to get a 3070 my buddy now has a new gpu

[calm crow]

Or hear me out. You could’ve just predetermined whether or not you wanted it before you selected it

[vital pivot]

All the video cards I won went to family and friends for invoice price.

[calm crow]

There that’s a good lad ^

[vital pivot]

And I have 3 brothers who also game.

[charred remnant]

You guys also act like when he doesn't buy it the gpu vanishes. Newegg just moves to the next person on the list.

[vital pivot]

Yep

[calm crow]

I know. It’s just a waste of time

[charred remnant]

That's what I did with the 3060 I got when I managed to get my 3070

[vital pivot]

The 3090 was on the 2nd round of award emails

So someone else had won before me and it got passed on for my opportunity.

If my wife wasn’t involved I would have bought it.

[winged pendant]

We act like we’re actually winning something but in reality we’re buying something at MSRP. Oh the booming 20’s....

Lol

[vital pivot]

I’m 50. I have some disposable income ya know.

[winged pendant]

I have disposable income if what I’m buying is at MSRP lmao

[vital pivot]

All my shuffle wins have been payed off already.

[charred remnant]

That's fair, I only decided to build because I just got a really good engineering co-op for the fall so I'll have disposable income. I upgraded from an i5-4690k and a gtx 650 to a 5600x and 3070

[vital pivot]

The only shuffle item I won that I sold for profit was the poor PS5 bundle

[winged pendant]

Damn a GTX 650 to a 3070? That’s a dramatic jump lol

[vital pivot]

And that’s only 100 more then what I paid.

Heh. One of my brothers went from gtx 260

[winged pendant]

Lol

[vital pivot]

To a 3090 extreme aurous

[charred remnant]

Yea I'm really looking forward to playing games above 20-30 fps at 900p.
Here are the pros of a 650: it's not a gt 710
Cons: literally anything else would have been better

[charred remnant]

geez

that's great.

[winged pendant]

Craiglist be like: “Used once”

[charred remnant]

I actually managed to sell my old cpu, mobo, ram, and gpu for $70 minus shipping. Why someone wanted it all? I could not tell you. Last I checked a gtx 650 made for a good paperweight or a significantly less energy efficient 710.

[winged pendant]

I e got myself a Lian-Li case as well, I love it

[charred remnant]

Didn't even realize that was an O11 lol

[vital pivot]

Yeah my bro did good

It’s actually a cyber power prebuilt

Surprised as all heck about the model of the 3090

[charred remnant]

Much nicer case than my pc lol. I have a coolermaster nr600 which don't get me wrong is a decent case but was also $50

[lavish otter]

I've got a Lian Li Lancool II Mesh. I couldn't be happier with the case, though it be a heavy boi

[livid idol]

I finally got something from shuffle

[vital pivot]

Congrats @livid idol you did good

Please provide the PSU to your nearest EOD Unit for proper disposal

Your lucky. My tax is 10.2%

[livid idol]

Yeah that's going to Gamers Nexus so they can blow it up properly

[vital pivot]

I suspect the boys will have that video out this or next week

[livid idol]

I'll probably get another CXm

[vital pivot]

I’m on the ropes about going to other EVGA.

But. They have a 10 year warranty. And if they fry your stuff they will probably support it.

Well I fat fingered that one. Or. Going with b

[charred remnant]

Congrats man

[livid idol]

I wasn't planning on getting a 3090 but I guess I'm all in now. Not gonna fold. Might need a new case and everything but...

[charred remnant]

The issue is right now I'd imagine they're likely just to give you money for the other components rather than replace them

[charred remnant]

That's fair

[vital pivot]

Probably.

I’m gonna hit up bestbuy and order one if they have it in stock.

[cinder plume]

Guys is it normal for the gpu to max out the fans during boot?

[tender mulch]

Yes

As long as they spin back down

[cinder plume]

They do when the bios pops up

[tender mulch]

That's fine

And normal

[cinder plume]

Good I'm a little worried since the gpu didn't do that on a different pc

[tender mulch]

Interesting, mine does it. SPins up and then down as it boots

[charred remnant]

I think it's pretty standard

I can't remember if my 650 did but case and cpu fans do it on boot so it seems reasonable that gpu fans would do the same

[keen flower]

Will a EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB Graphics Card (1024 MB, GDDR5, PCI-E 2.0 16x run on a Z590 Aorus Pro Ax with a PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)??

[brisk flame]

yeah

pcie is pcie

[tender mulch]

Maybe.....non-uefi card might not play nice.

Its not just about pcie anymore

[brisk flame]

modern boards have legacy vbios options

at least my x299 does, i would say thats modern enough

[tender mulch]

That also adlffects windows 10 boot tho

Needs uefi now with latest updates

[brisk flame]

ugh, windows may be a pain

actually

wouldnt the iGPU on an 11th gen intel chip be better anyway?

or at least comparable

[tender mulch]

Yes

Gtx 560 is rather useless

[coarse spindle]

560 may be useless but unless you have like nice onboard then its better

Maybe not better then vega or XE but i know for a fact it is better then haswell APUs

By a longshot

[spare relic]

noooooo you can't just call intel apu nooooo

[tender mulch]

Unless your PC won't boot because it's not UEFI compliant, like in a Z590.......

Need a 640 or better for that

[livid idol]

With a vbios update in some cases even, since they didn't originally ship with uefi. 700 series shipped with it.

[tender mulch]

Ah, I missed that part

[charred remnant]

I mean ik nobody calls them Apu's but is that not what they technically are? Lol

[livid idol]

Sure that's what they are but you know how these tech companies like to call it something different.
The same thing goes for SAM, it's just resizeable BAR, which is the standardized term from PCI-e spec.

[spare relic]

gotta be different and ✨quirky✨

[charred remnant]

That's makes sense I also guess with intel it's not like they're a different product stack either having the igpu is default and removing it denotes an F on the model number. Whereas apu tends to have connotations of a weaker product sometimes. Or at least in my experience but I could also just he very misguided

[spare relic]

more intel skus have igp than amd skus I think

[livid idol]

You're not wrong, based on the history of AMD with their APUs. They do tend to be weaker than their counterparts.

[spare relic]

greater proportion

[livid idol]

The new gen APUs are hopefully comparable to other 5000 series parts

[charred remnant]

We haven't seen reviews of them right? Ik they're headed to OEM's first but unless I missed it I didn't think there have been reviews of them yet?

[spare relic]

would be neat if amd had a full lineup of apus from 4c8t to the max on the socket

[livid idol]

Not until closer to launch. We've only got leaks to go on for now, but those are promising at least.

They are planning on a 8c16t 5700G

[spare relic]

ooo

I probably won't be in it to buy anything over 100 usd but that's kinda hype

[lone pond]

If the 4000 series is anything to go by they will be only slightly worse than the regular counterparts under a mixed load

People are trying to say the vega architecture isnt good enuf but it has been very adequate at tasks it has no right to be this good at.

[hybrid solar]

Is the RX 6700 XT the way to good for $840 ?

[spare relic]

hmm

I don't think so

[livid idol]

AMD cards are just overpriced for no reason. That 6700XT is comparable to the 3070 sure, but has less features overall.

[lone pond]

nvidia updates their drivers all the time tho unlike amd

or idk when i was using my raedeon card it felt like the updates wernt really doing anything

[spare relic]

they don't do a whole lot

[idle slate]

Radeon performs much worse at raytracing from what Ive seen, and I know if Im paying a bunch for a gpu, Im going to want that to work as well as possible as more and more AAA games start to support it.

Id imagine that is a non-negligible factor for a lot of people. RTX is certainly the only reason I upgraded my card, and I have a feeling I would have been very disappointed not going nvidia, even if everything else was identical.

[lone pond]

and the control panel with nvidia is usefull

idk why radeon doesnt have one

[heady turtle]

Well its amds first RT card so you can only really compare RT perf with 20xx cards and RT is still a gimmick imo you take way too much of a perf hit when turning it on too be more than a gimmick and not a feature

[idle slate]

idk, in games where aesthetics matter more than super high fps, Id rather very beautiful ray traced lighting. Cyberpunk in hdr with rtx at psycho was absolutely gorgeous

It depends what kind of games you play I guess, but as more and more AAA games offer it, its going to be more and more important.

Any modern card is gonna run fortnite at acceptable fps. I cant imagine anyone spending lots of money on an upgrade just for that unless they dont have any real system yet.

oof

well at least they have the option of playing other modern rtx games now too

whereas with radeon, they dont have that option. so if spending, why remove that possibility if they may want it later?

[heady turtle]

You must be playing that with sub 45 fps tho

[idle slate]

i got 60-80fps pretty consistently the entire game at 4khdr with rtx psycho

[heady turtle]

3080?

[idle slate]

3090

[heady turtle]

Ahh well then

Not everyone got 2k plus floating around for just a gpu

[idle slate]

if 3080 Id just drop to 1440p 🙂

[heady turtle]

Yeah that's why i was like eww unplayable

[idle slate]

Im sure its still absolutely gorgeous at 1440p

[heady turtle]

Also mid range amd cards even better for most people because they have the hardware scheduler, which ik would have benefitted me a bit because r5 3600

True

[idle slate]

I think at this point a lot is just "what can you find available that isnt scalped"

[heady turtle]

Too many pixels

[idle slate]

I had a 4k laptop back when it first became a thing and nothing was scaled properly, and I got a lot of eye strain from small text lol

brightness?

[heady turtle]

That's just a waste of battery and money tbh

[fossil talon]

I only use my 4k laptop for Netflix lol nowadays

It is though

Most things run well at 1440p and it looks great

4K is unnecessary

8K even more unnecessary

[halcyon plover]

[spare relic]

lot of wasted power

[idle slate]

8k feels like a waste of processing power unless a very large screen fairly close.

Id much rather better hdr than smaller pixels at this point

[fossil talon]

when you have a final in 30hrs and should be sleeping now for a next last min grind

Oh rip

We ded 😭

Lmao

Ive grinded til 3am MST, now it's 3:27am

Debating on an all nighter rn

[idle slate]

grind all night

[fossil talon]

Need some sleep before final

Caffeine pills/red bull doesn't work well

[idle slate]

actually I found if i took short naps mid studying I retained a lot more when I was in class

[fossil talon]

Some tea first and maybe get off your screen for a bit

[idle slate]

a few good study sessions with adequate sleep > nonstop grind imo

[fossil talon]

I wish I could, but online learning destroyed my drive

Lol

Instant destruction XD

Why 😂

The grind really pulling you away from cooked meals or something

MOOD

Peptobismol ig

Bruh that's going to take a while

Acids don't disappear that fast without a catalyst

But it works

Yea that too

Could be adapted already

My spice tolerance is high but not that high yet

[mortal stirrup]

tru

[fossil talon]

I've tried it once

Literally couldn't leave the washroom for 5hrs

Ghost peppers aren't something I can mess with yet

Ooh I always wanted to make my own chili oil, I keep using my mom's but at least I should try it once

[halcyon plover]

Looks hotter then 3090 vram

[acoustic ermine]

Well, poop, lineup is nice and early today, but it's just PS5s

Unless something gets added last minute, I can actually sleep today

I work midnight shift, have to wait til noon to submit my shuffle selections, and wake up by 5:45 to make sure I didn't miss the first notification/purchase window

I'd try MC, but the nearest one is four and a half hours away in Houston

[karmic crag]

smart choice

the urge to buy a scalped card is very tempting

[opal trellis]

Mhm but you support them if you do

[karmic crag]

by buying cards for scalpers, you're perpetuating the cycle of scalping

they won't sell if no one's buyin

[drowsy kiln]

Yea, well getting thousands of people together and getting everyone to not buy scalped cards is difficult sadly. Wish that was possible tho.

[coarse slate]

Realistically, what is the best method of waiting for a card (yes I know all of them are relatively bad, but I want to know)

[tender mulch]

Getting an Intel CPU with built in graphics

[coarse slate]

Discord chats? Streams? Microcenter camp outs? Newegg shuffle?

[tender mulch]

Like, 11400/11500

[coarse slate]

A good card.....

[tender mulch]

OH, you mean to buy

[coarse slate]

Yeah

[tender mulch]

Probs MIcrocenter if you have one locally, followed by Newegg shuffle then Best Buy drops.

[coarse slate]

K thanks, the microcenter is in downtown (an HR away) but I'm not sure I have the time to do that currently

But the other two I could do

[tender mulch]

https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

Been every day this week, another 3 and a half hours until sign up

Looks like onlny POS5 today tho :/

[coarse slate]

If I wasn't waiting on a gpu I'd take that as well... But

[tender mulch]

Ye

I got super luck in January with my GPU

[vital pivot]

I’m 2.5 hrs from micro center

I might just camp out when they release the 3080ti

[slate tundra]

when is le 3080 ti release?

[tender mulch]

No one knows

English only pls

[slate tundra]

im from france english non had

[tender mulch]

Sorry, it's in the server rules for moderation purposes so we don't have use Google Translate constantly

[slate tundra]

it has the release for mai month in the month?

[tender mulch]

To answer your question, the release date hasn't been announced yet

No one knows when it's coming

SO hold tight for a bit longer

Any date you see out there is pure rumor and speculation right now

[slate tundra]

i speak to my collegue who is work at nvidia from 2008 he had information for Mai 26

checking if real

[tender mulch]

Well, no one can verify that

Because there's no information on it

[slate tundra]

this is a discord with not people work from newegg?

[tender mulch]

No one here is a Newegg employee except Mike and the Newegg Staff

And they won't leak information like that anyway

[slate tundra]

okay, thank you i will speak to the company collagues

[tender mulch]

Welcome!

However, if you ask Newegg Staff, they'll give you the same information I did. Please don't ask them about it because they don't know/can't answer anyway

[karmic crag]

yep

good call

[heady turtle]

Yeah get rid of them student loans instead

[calm crow]

cant wait to get in debt like a mad lad

[charred remnant]

I mean if you use the computer for school it's technically a school expense? Ik I used my covid relief money from my University last year for a monitor and ethernet cabling, but in fairness those were directly used for online learning and I put the rest of the money into tuition

[heady turtle]

Can't relate #litterally anywhere outside US ✌️

How lol

[charred remnant]

Yea

[heady turtle]

But still

[calm crow]

Pain

[winged stag]

Gets me every time!! until i see the price hahahah. good morning server

[heady turtle]

Wish i could do that :(

[charred remnant]

Yea I mean during school semesters I definitely use my PC more for school than gaming

[heady turtle]

Looks like an egg timer lol

[charred remnant]

Oh yea I deducted my entire laptop. I bought it from the university and it is used pretty much entirely for school

Yea mine was stupidly expensive but I justified it by the fact that my University offers a really solid warranty, in addition to the standard accident warranty they also have a whole stack of loaner computers they'll give out so you're never without a laptop no matter what happens.

That's great, my uni gives me very little money but I'm lucky because my grandfather has been helping me a lot with school expenses

[normal hawk]

Would the power color red devil and liquid Devil actually be worth it if you're overclocking? why are they twice the cost of the normal card?

[charred remnant]

I filled a whole ton out, nobody wanted to give a middle class white guy a scholarship for mechanical engineering. But it's what it is. I already have a co-op for the fall semester where I'm going to make a huge amount of money and it only gets to be more once I actually have a degree

[charred remnant]

I don't think it would be worth quite that much more? I mean they're better for OC but I'm not sure they're worth that much more unless you have that kind of expendable income to burn. And I think that's why they're so expensive is because people looking for those absolute top of the line cards will pay it

[normal hawk]

That makes sense lol

[charred remnant]

I mean if you think about it, someone who was willing to pay scalper prices but didn't want to encourage them or just didn't trust them those cards are a great deal lol

I'm not surprised tbh. They were essentially just told that they don't have to be concerned about the card not being rare for much longer than they ever thought

[green harness]

Ooof. The last two shuffles were pretty GPU rich. I guess we can just hope they update the shuffle inventory like they sometimes do

Otherwise how am I supposed to pick up my daily L?

[full stone]

Newbie question here, but are the latest AMD GPUs comparable to the RTX ones?

[vital pivot]

Falsie got the water force 3090 last night

@full stone yes and no

Without RTX or DLSS for he amd cards are equal or better

[tender mulch]

Did they really???

[vital pivot]

Yep

[tender mulch]

Nice!!!

[vital pivot]

I told him he would win

Lol. But damn that $$$$

[green harness]

The new AMD GPUs are generally strong in some ways, weaker in others. If you want to stream, turn on ray tracing, or would benefit from DLSS Nvidia is generally a better choice (assuming you can get a gpu at all 😆)

[tender mulch]

I have no use for a 3090 TBH

But if they do have at it!!

[vital pivot]

He didn’t either. But he had no choice

[tender mulch]

I mean, could have just not bought it

[vital pivot]

And for you kids in college.

My daughter is on her 3rd and paying it herself without loans

[full stone]

I have a 1070 that I want to upgrade, but I’m kind of lost.

And I feel like being open to an AMD GPU would increase my chances of upgrading my GPU at all.

[vital pivot]

Yeah but I’m stubborn

[green harness]

What do you use it for? So monitor resolution and refresh rate, gaming + streaming or just gaming, do you really want to play games with ray tracing on, etc?

[vital pivot]

I would help only if she applied herself. So she’s halfazzed it so I only pick up books

[full stone]

I have no idea what ray tracing is, lemme google it

[vital pivot]

That’s typical

[full stone]

Is ray tracing important or a niche tech thing?

[vital pivot]

Universities and colleges are classified as businesses by life safety codes.

[full stone]

Ok, then I just want to game. I’m@ not wanting to stream.

[tender mulch]

Niche tech. Kinda gimmicky

[vital pivot]

Should tell ya something

[tender mulch]

Then go amd is an option too

[full stone]

In that case, it sounds like the AMD graphics card would work for me.

[green harness]

What monitor do you have?

[full stone]

I have a regular monitor

[tender mulch]

It would indeed

[green harness]

Yeah, amd would be good as long as you're not streaming

What's a regular monitor?

[full stone]

I only stream occasionally on like Discord for friends

[green harness]

You should be able to check your display resolution and refresh via display settings

[full stone]

Not wide, not 4K, I guess?

[vital pivot]

Amd is fine for streaming

Pfft

[green harness]

Check in display settings, sounds like maybe 1080p/60hz but idk

[full stone]

60 hz?

I think I have that

1920 x 1080, 60 hz, 8-bit

RGB, SDR

[vital pivot]

Then your fine

Any new card will max out your display easily

[green harness]

Okay, so basically anything will be good. I'd think a 3060, 3060Ti, or a 6700xt would be the best fit. You may want to consider a new monitor sometime. A 1080p high refresh rate monitor isn't too pricey and you would likely see a big difference in experience

[full stone]

https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/amd-ryzen-5-5600x-hexa-core-3-7ghz-am4-desktop-processor/15331713

Is this a new one?

[green harness]

Basically higher resolution allow better image quality, higher refresh allows for a smoother and more responsive experience

[green harness]

Yep

[full stone]

Oh cool, it’s in stock, I think

Hmm, are you guys sure? This seems too easy..

[green harness]

One sec

[full stone]

Ohh, is that a CPU?

Lol, sorry, I’m an idiot

[green harness]

Yes

Sorry I didn't understand what you were asking. The 5600x is a cpu from AMD's new generation

You'd be looking for like a Radeon 6700xt for a gpu

The price on that cpu is also a bit above msrp (430 cad is circa $350 usd and msrp is 299 usd), but idk what it is going for in Canada

[winged pendant]

Great.... 2 PS5’s on the shuffle today...

[honest halo]

See yall in 3 years

[tender mulch]

Shuffle updated! GPU'S!!!! https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

Crap ton of GPU's!

[green harness]

Looks like they've added a ton of gpus

[tender mulch]

Yes, yes they have

[honest halo]

Sweet maybe they"ll open up shuffle to canada soon 🙃

[green harness]

I just was checking that Vintage 😆

[tender mulch]

👍

[green harness]

I remembered Rommy was sad and didn't want them to miss an L

I wouldn't want to miss adding one to my collection

Third day in a row with 3080 Visions iirc

[tender mulch]

Sign up! AMD GPU's in the shuffle!! https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

[full stone]

Hmm, how does this work?

If I'm in Canada

[honest halo]

It doesn't

[tender mulch]

OH man, I'm sorry

Didn't realize Canada

😦

[dreamy dragon]

Sharksguy#8586 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[winged pendant]

Lol

[honest halo]

Bad bot

[tender mulch]

It has to do with raffle rules and laws in Canada

[winged pendant]

Too many rules.

[tender mulch]

It's not Newegg being rude, it's literally rules lol

Nah, just no swearing. EZPZ

[honest halo]

What i was trying to say is you could ship to a friend and then have them ship it but newegg dont like canadian cc and will probably cancel the order.

[full stone]

What is the legal requirement for the shuffle? My dad is in the states and I could probably get it shipped to him.

Oh, J see.

[tender mulch]

Have him sign up for it!!!

[winged pendant]

Am I missing something here? There isn’t any GPU’s in the shuffle in my notification link or the link that @tender mulch is posting.

[tender mulch]

There are

[winged pendant]

Or are you just trolling?

[tender mulch]

CTRL-F5 refresh a few times

I wouldn't troll Newegg peeps

That would be rude

[winged pendant]

I just see 2 - PS5’s

[tender mulch]

CTRL-F5 refresh

or completely close and reload the page

[winged pendant]

I’m on my cell phone...

[green harness]

There are GPUs there

[winged pendant]

Ok

[green harness]

100%

A whole mess of em

[honest halo]

Lots of gpu's

[heady stratus]

lots of waterblock GPUS that serve no purpose to anyone without plans to build Liquid

Very interesting, I wonder if the chip will be difficult to circumvent

[heady turtle]

Gonna be cracked

[knotty vortex]

Assuming they don't accidentally unlock it again

Yeah I can't imagine Nvidia thinks people wouldn't be able to figure it out

So what's the point?

[charred remnant]

Not only that even before the limiter was cracked people were still able to mine crypto other than eth and be profitable.

[knotty vortex]

Reee I just want to be able to walk into a store and buy a product

[heady turtle]

Yeah you could still mine raven and it was just as profitable

[heady turtle]

Wait 2 years or so

[charred remnant]

Even if crypto just instantly stopped nobody mined anymore. Things would still take at least a year because there's still so much consumer demand

[knotty vortex]

On the bright side if I wait a year maybe I can just get a ryzen 6000

[amber coral]

I have a RTX 3070 2nd display quit, I checked all the cables ( work fine ) Display monitor works on the xbox as well. PC will not detect it now. I need some help, thanks.

[heady turtle]

Did you try a different port on your gpu?

[drowsy kiln]

Graphics drivers installed and updated?

[amber coral]

Yup tried both HDMI

even my new monitor tested with hdmi and display cable works fine

2nd mon works on xbox no prob

[heady turtle]

The same cable and port on the monitor for xbox and pc? Port on monitor could have died

[amber coral]

I just got a new monitor last week an LG 1ms IPS 1440 it's been working fine

Yea its a dvi on the 2nd, which i have a dvi to hdmi adapter its worked fine over a week

this a.m it said nope

I hook it up to xbox the display shows the xbox game but hook to pc nothing.

I tested the cables and monitor on my old pc it works just fine.

everything is also up to date even did a clean nvidia driver install

[heady turtle]

Are you using the dvi adapter when using the Xbox too?

The adaptor could have died

[amber coral]

yes

I tested it on other pc no issues

[tender mulch]

DVI to HDMI adapter??

Those are honestly sus for PC sometimes

[amber coral]

Yea it's worked for weeks now with no issues lol

[tender mulch]

Yeah but they're kind spoop TBH. try it without the adapter on a different monitor to see if the HDMI port is still good

Make sense?

[heady turtle]

^

[thorn kiln]

just got my 2060 in.
when i boot my PC it's not detecting it.
any tips?

[heady turtle]

Do you have the cable (hdmi etc) connected to the gpu and not motherboard?

[amber coral]

As I said I tested everything on my other pc with a 1080, no issues

[thorn kiln]

yea

[amber coral]

but hook to my pc and nothing

[thorn kiln]

im not an idiot. lmaoo

[tender mulch]

That's not what I'm asking. Test the HDMI port that's not working on the 3070 with a true HDMi to HDMI connection

[heady turtle]

its more common than you think

[tender mulch]

No DVI adapter

[thorn kiln]

wow ok

[tender mulch]

For real

People plug into motherboard video out and ask why GPU not working

It happens, it's not that we think you're dumb

[amber coral]

the monitor has to have the dvi it does not have a hdmi sadly its about 5 years old

[heady turtle]

did you make sure it wasnt a dead card before buying it off ebay or whereever you bought it

[tender mulch]

Is there another monitor you can test it with?

[thorn kiln]

yes

[thorn kiln]

Amazon btw

[heady turtle]

scalped amazon card? power cables connected properly?

[thorn kiln]

definetely not scalped

lemme check the power cables

and restart

i'll get back to u

[tender mulch]

One more thing too, is this an upgrade from Integrated graphics?

[heady turtle]

okay

[tender mulch]

Make sure video out is set to PCI-E in the BIOS

[honest halo]

How big of a difference between evga ftw3 and ftw3 ultra 3090?

[tender mulch]

Not much

IMO, not worth paying the extra for

[honest halo]

Someone local is selling a ftw3 for a good price

Welll "good" by todays standards

[thorn kiln]

@heady turtle hey thx it worked

[honest halo]

Facebook market place local pickup

2800cad

Im willing to pay it so ima message em

Good compared to 4-5k on ebay

[amber coral]

Yea I could will do it in a few mins and reply back

[heady turtle]

np

[tender mulch]

This will ensure the port itself is still working.

[livid idol]

That's shuffle price for a 3090

[granite obsidian]

Don’t spend that much

Think you can backorder at Canada computers

[halcyon plover]

Ftw3 3090 is one of the best 3090s

[honest halo]

I dont think you can backorder anything anymore

I know mem express stopped backorders on gpus a long time ago

And frankly i dont want to wait a year for my backorder to be filled

[amber coral]

@tender mulch

Works fine here

[tender mulch]

If it works fine on that monitor, your adapter is suspect :/

[amber coral]

strange it works with the xbox no issue

[tender mulch]

Well, we have confirmed the Port on the GPU, the monitor and the cable are all good

The only thing sus is the adapter

[amber coral]

Yup thanks man don't think my wife will allow another monitor purchase atm

[tender mulch]

YW

FYI

Try a Goodwill

You'd be surprised what you can find there on the cheap

[knotty vortex]

Assuming you lived in a magic fairy tale world where you could get both, how would you feel about a 6800xt vs 3080?

[tender mulch]

3080

[fossil talon]

Yes this is true, both MemX and CC have stopped backorders since December besides 3060s

[heady turtle]

3080 slightly worse in pure fps but better feature set

[tender mulch]

DLSS and NVENC and all the other goodies

[winged pendant]

AMD just reminds me of black screens lol

[heady turtle]

I've had no problems with amd but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fossil talon]

Ngl it's easier to get a 3080 than 6800XT

[tender mulch]

AMD driver support has always been lacking as well

This generation seems to be better tho

[winged pendant]

For real

[fossil talon]

Whats happening on the Nvidia side for drivers, I've been seeing news reports on something

[tender mulch]

Nothing much, good so far

[fossil talon]

Nice ok, got scared for a sec

[tender mulch]

Last big news I heard was them leaking a mining driver for the 3060 XD

[fossil talon]

Lmaoooooo

[charred remnant]

I remember making that mistake when I built my old desktop in middle school I had booted it once, knew it worked and then after moving it plugged into the mobo and spend hours on hours on the phone with asus tech support before we figured it out.

[digital heath]

why does my newegg shuffle have only ps5 s but my friends shuffle has 20 items?

[charred remnant]

Try refreshing it?

This morning it only had ps5 but later on they added gpus

[digital heath]

Im dumb

[heady turtle]

Ooof i always try to recommend the easiest things first used to work in tech support while not in school/college before covid and once i got called down because the PC didn't turn on but someone had turned the switch at the wall off lol

[north sage]

i have A 3060 it is very weak

[charred remnant]

Yea, I think the asus tech support guy may have assumed I had an igpu? Idk the whole thing was such a mess lol

[heady turtle]

Lol

[heady turtle]

3060 is a good 1080p/1440p card tbh

[north sage]

ya

i use 1080

but warzone and streaming is ahrd to run

hard

[heady turtle]

What cpu?

[north sage]

10850k

[heady turtle]

And are you making sure you use hardware encoder?

That should be fine tho

[north sage]

i think for warzone

i am

[heady turtle]

I mean for streaming

[north sage]

no

it looks worse

lol

[heady turtle]

Nvenc is really good tho?

[north sage]

yes

it is but i have less skipped frames in 250

no

[swift bolt]

worth a shot lol

[north sage]

i got this 3060 2 months ago

so

i waqnt to use it while ic an

[tender mulch]

No buying and selling here pls and thx

[heady turtle]

What do you mean by this?

[north sage]

no idea

thats what streamlabs says

ok vintageracer

we arent trying to sell or buy

[heady turtle]

Less skipped frames in 250 doesn't make sense tho?

[north sage]

x250 mode

or somthing

[heady turtle]

As in cpu encoding?

[north sage]

yes

[heady turtle]

That should cause more stutters than nvenc afaik

[tender mulch]

Depending on the CPU, yes

[heady turtle]

10850k i think they said

[tender mulch]

Should do OK with encoding depending on the game but I'd def use NVENC if available

[heady turtle]

That's what i thought yeah

[hot folio]

Would an RTX 3070/3080 be better than an AMD 6800/6800xt?
