Any good PSU is not 350 W anymore

lone pond
#

i have a 750w you missed what i was saying lol

#

SELL ME THE E-WASTE and GIVE ME THE 3080 in the case

lavish otter
#

An OEM system with a 3080 wouldn't even have a 350W psu.

#

It would have a 550W kekw

spare relic
#

530w

#

80 plus white

drowsy kiln
#

But Nvidia recommends 750w lol. GPU alone used 350w why sell something with 200w left for everything else.

lavish otter
#

Because OEM

#

It is a joke about how they are usually stingy on the psu

spare relic
#

mine came with a 280w

#

which was kind of fine for an 84w tdp cpu and a 34w tdp gpu

#

but I was glad to be rid of it

lone pond
#

no its literally,

#

give me a 230w psu

#

im not going to use it

#

give me a BULLDOZER CPU

#

im not going to use it

#

literally 100% all your trash overstock on things you dont even have listed

#

just give me a gpu

#

Hi, I'm trying to power a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 with a Cool Master MasterWatt 750w power supply. The power supply has a 8 pin PCI-E connection and the GPU has 2 x 6 pin PCI-E connection. I know I need I GPU splitter cable, but I'm not sure which one to get. Any assistance would be great.

tender mulch
#

The 8 pin PCIE cables are actually 6+2 pins

lone pond
#

what

tender mulch
#

Take the 2 pin part off and it fits right in

#

If you don't have the 2 pin splitter on it, the wrong end is in the power supply

should I buy the Asus ZZephyrus

it got 2060 Max Q

lucky you Tyler, I'll keep trying. but the bundles are not making much sense these days

Bundles won’t make sense but at the end of the day just after the gpu

#

2060 maxq is like

#

A desktop GTX 970 or something

#

I'm exaggerating but it's not great

#

Passmark says the 970 is better, techpowerup says the 2060 maxq is better

Anyone know where I can preorder/order/go to where graphics cards are not being scalped? I’m looking for a 1660 Ti

lone pond
#

you should go 2 years back lol

warped carbon

2 years ago i didnt have the money. ive saved up enough now for a computer build but graphics cards are sky rocketing

there has gotta be somewhere where graphics cards are not being scalped

Join the club

#

I got a 1050ti for $220 and wanted to cry

But the prices of 970s went higher and higher

#

Ooof

I got a 1060 for 120

calm crow

Be happy with that

warped carbon

sold it today for 320

970s are 250 or more

calm crow

Got mine at 195

Very epic. However a buddy sold me a 1660 for $220

it made me happy

It's disheartening to look up an old computer part that has only risen in price

i thought i was being smart buying a 1660s when they dropped down in price

Not to downplay my desparation but the fastest gpu I've ever had before my 970 is my GT 730 lisasu2

Where can I get a 3090?

coarse spindle
#

Hah

tender mulch
#

Newegg shuffle or Best Buy drop in another two weeks

spare relic
#

the answer is no

normal hawk
#

Or prebuilt

livid idol
#

3090 is one of the easier to get cards tbh. Even scalpers often aren't over 3k on the ones that are almost 2k retail.

#

Reason being: not many people actually need a 3090. It's awful price/performance and only a small upgrade over 3080.

halcyon plover
#

Yeah the only reason to buy 3090 is if you need the vram...

livid idol
#

Or if you can't get anything else good, like me 😫

spare relic
#

3090 paired with 2200g bbnohappy

#

"yeah it's all I could get you know"

covert forge
#

Best cpu gpu combo Ik

livid idol
#

You put that thought right back where it came from

flat bridge
#

i feel like if i got a 3090 ill just bottleneck

covert forge
#

Lol

livid idol
#

Bump the resolution, you won't bottleneck then

flat bridge
#

on ym cpu?\

livid idol
#

Increasing the resolution increases the gpu load, but has less increase of cpu requirements

covert forge
#

#

We’ve all been there

flat bridge
#

so a 5800x will be fine?

livid idol
#

You can game 4k with a R5 3600

flat bridge
#

pog

livid idol
#

So yes, you'll be absolutely fine

covert forge
#

But it wouldn’t be the smartest buying a 3090

flat bridge
#

ofc

covert forge
#

But wtv I think it’s easier to buy that compared to a 3080

flat bridge
#

i thought the best performance wise in the 3000 series was a 3060 ti and then 2080

#

3080*

livid idol
#

If you've got the money, sure. Go for it. A retail priced 3090 isn't much more than a scalped 3080.

#

Yeah 3060 ti and 3080 are the best buys of the generation. Both are more rare than gold bullion, though.

flat bridge
#

i wonder if the next best buy drop will have the 3080 ti

#

im assuming cause they hinted at a release mid may

tropic solstice
#

The current rumor is the 26th I believe or 25th

lone pond
young quarry
#

Are you all talking preformace to price? If not how is a 3060 ti best?

flat bridge
#

performance wise

#

and price

#

3060 ti has the best performance next to the 3080 anything after tht is overkill

normal hawk
#

Why would you pay 1,500$ for the 6800 XT with a water block

#

Whats going on with AMD's prices at microcenter lol.

900$ for a 6700xt, 1500$ for a 6800xt and 1800$ for a 6900 XT

hollow dawn

At least he tried

#

$800 for a pc with ryzen 3 2200g..............

drowsy kiln
#

Sounds like someone near me. Put a R5 1600 and GT 1030 and a 1200w PSU xD

hollow dawn
#

OMG

#

what a waste

#

1200w is to much

normal hawk
#

Wayyy too much

drowsy kiln
#

Yes, thats why it was stupidly priced

#

It was 700 iirc but system is like $300 or something but ya know 1200w PSU costs ya $400

hollow dawn
#

And this guy got the cheapest case and psu 450w for this pc and asking 800 just because all fans are rgb and it has a Wifi dapter

drowsy kiln
#

I mean... This guy asking 800 as well

Ill take the 2200g tbh

Depends on what the bid ends up at

Oh? I would assume the higher the number the better

drowsy kiln
#

I'm blind it's a bid. Thought it was buy it now

heady turtle
# normal hawk

That's gotta go up a good bit considering they have the rtx name in it even tho it says ready and 10700k and trident z isn't exactly cheap ram but that would be a good deal, price of the cpu alone atm

Ye

If the bid had less time left

Exactly lol. Asking $800 xD

Why is the 2060 super more than 3060 ti?

at this point with how bad the shortage is just gotta go with what you can get

get a nice, incremental upgrade until this fartstorm is over

#

i, for one, will enjoy the leap from uhd 630 to an actual decent temp card

lone pond
#

cant upgrade when the cheapest decent card in my range is the same one that is dying

#

im quasi considering a 1080ti due to its continued tier of performance 2 generations later

#

at least then im getting what i pay for

wicked ferry
#

and what exactly would you be paying for that?

young quarry
#

Question does dual fan vs triple fan affect gaming temps or is it just a cosmetic thing. Looking at 3060 ti and dreaming.

vital pivot
#

The fans play a role but so does the airflow in the case.

#

You can also buy a aftermarket cooler

jagged sequoia
#

you could try looking up reviews of specific 2-fan and 3-fan models if anyone's done thermal benchmarks on both

flat cedar
#

How are you guys deciding between AMD or Nvidia for the newest gen gpus? Is there one brand that’s better and lower end vs higher end? Looking at upgrading from my 2060

livid idol
#

Nvidia has more features for the same or better price as AMD. Performance in normal game rendering (not raytracing) is very similar between them right now.

#

It's also a lot easier to find an nvidia card, since AMD desktop GPUs are limited in production right now. They're also supplying all major consoles right now.

Guys what is a good gpu to run warzone on 60 FPS mid settings ?

flat cedar
#

Ok I will probably go shopping for a 3070 then. And it says that recommended PSU wattage is 650, and I have a 600 but I have a i7-9700F which has pretty low wattage so I should be ok?

livid idol
#

600W is probably fine, but don't expect to overclock much. The quality of the unit matters a lot when you're near the limit, too. Which one do you have?

flat cedar
#

It’s a prebuilt from digital storm, so it’s one of their in house ones, not branded

lone pond
halcyon plover

#

not to be catty

but mid settings is the reccomended settings @ 60fps in almost every game unless it undergoes constant updates

idle slate
# heady turtle Rtx is a gimmick it's to attract attention, until you can turn rtx on without dl...

that implies that more fps is more important than realistic visuals to the user. for someone that plays fps games on low pushing max fps thats probably the case, but I prefer hyperrealistic visuals and mainly play story focused single player games where a stable 60+ fps is more than fine.

"Beautiful, realistic aesthetics" is very important to many people. Anything that makes them look better is not a gimmick to that playerbase.

cyberpunk at 4khdr with rtx on psycho was a very nice experience, I would not have enjoyed the game if I played it how it looked with rtx off and lower settings.

@heady turtle this copy pasta about Phoenix describes the driving experience very well

HOW TO DRIVE IN PHOENIX:

The morning rush hour is from 5:00 am to noon. The evening rush hour is from noon to 7:00 pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning.

The minimum acceptable speed on most freeways is 85 mph. On Loop 101, your speed is expected to at least match the highway number. Anything less is considered 'Wussy'.

Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Phoenix has its own version of traffic rules. For example, cars/trucks with the loudest muffler go first at a four-way stop; the trucks with the biggest tires go second. However, East Valley, SUV-driving, cell phone-talking moms ALWAYS have the right of way.

If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear ended.

How big is the different between a 3060ti vs a 3070 in 1440p frame wise

tender mulch
#

10%

#

ish

hot folio
#

So I’m guessing the 3060ti is a better option!

#

?*

tender mulch
#

Price to performance, yes

hybrid kettle
tender mulch
#

Raw performance, no

hot folio
#

As long as I can hit 60+ frames consistently on high graphics in 1440p I’m fine with any gpu

#

And yeah it also depends which one id find first

tender mulch
#

3060TI no problem at 1440p

#

Neither is the 3070

hot folio
#

I found a prebuilt for about $1700 with a 3060ti which I could take the gpu out and sell the rest of the parts to a friend

#

Good or bad idea?

tender mulch
#

Depends on the rest of the hardware tbh

hot folio
#

Not sure if links are allowed here , if they’re not I’ll just delete it

tender mulch
#

That's actually decent it looks like

#

Ram is a tad slow but good hardware

#

Only issue is no iGPU so PC useless without a graphics card

hot folio
#

If I didn’t have a 3700x and crosshair VIII I would just keep the entire thing

#

I most likely would give the friend my old rx480 since he’s not planning on playing anything that intensive

heady turtle
#

Loooks decent although 4x4 is a weird config for ddr4 lol

hot folio
#

Weird but fairly common in prebuilt

#

At least all the ones I’ve seen

It's usually 1x16 or 2x8 lol

raven thunder
#

is it worth it to get the EVGA 3060, and then pay 70 dollars of import fee?

#

to make it 560 cad

#

oh no it;s gonna go out of stock soon

#

should i order or no?

calm crow
#

I would . That’s me tho

raven thunder
#

its not gonna be available til may 27

#

should i?

#

i was looking for 3060ti

#

but

#

3060 is basically same thing

calm crow
#

Because you probably won’t get another chance to get one for another few months

raven thunder
#

few months?

#

but a 3060ti FE is the same price tho

#

idk if it's worht getting this and paying 70 dollars of import fees

#

yea tru

#

or even a 3070 from best bu

#

it's like 100 more than this 3060

#

kay im gonna order it

#

should i ship it to family in the US?

#

or straight to canada

It basically said on average 100k people enter the shuffle

Doesn’t factor in number of cards they have, or that some people only enter for certain cards etc.

True

#

Considering that many people have entered shuffle and won it in here my guess is that the chances are significantly better though

heady turtle
#

ohh yeah but chances of getting 2 items in the same shuffle means squaring 0.001 so that will end up about 1/100,000 anyway lol

cause there is a platform of mmx boards i think they are called

there is a system of cards for some laptops

Which would require an eGPU setup with power supply and external GPU

some laptop Gpus were replaceable if i remember right 🤔

Back in the 980TI days ya

its something that should be making a comback

its the nitro acer 5 a good laptop?

and while we are at it? let me upgrade my phone 😆

that link i sent you has very good roundups

heady turtle

Tbh for the price of an egpu and a laptop you can just get a laptop and a dedicated pc lol

quick gyro
lone pond
#

again depends on budget and what you want from the device

#

laptop market is r e a l i t i v e l y ok right now

quick gyro

its 600 bucks

lone pond

so this would be the time to get one

#

it's better than pc market lol

#

again my dude, what are you trying to do

#

what is the purpose of the device

quick gyro
#

hmmmm

#

i wont be playing games like COD or those games that use to much like performance

lone pond
#

do you want it for gaming

#

portability

#

productivity

quick gyro
lone pond
#

ok if you had said that last year

#

i would have told you to buy a pc

#

mostly because of this

quick gyro
#

Toppcat is typing...

lone pond
#

@quick gyro you have to consider every part of a laptop due to how it shares resources between the cpu and gpu, even down to how much power it can pull from the brick.
gaming laptops are more like portable pc's because that battery has a 2hr lifespan when under load.
600 bucks will get you maybe in the realm of the 2000 series of gpus

#

as far as that specific modle

quick gyro
#

hmmm

lone pond
#

find a review

quick gyro
#

but im more like a laptop guy

i meant the mobile 2000 series gpu

i personally would recommend used

queen prairie

why would you need a gaming laptop?

that is just torturing for both end

torturing you and torturing the machine lol

lone pond
#

oh the 3060 base is 1200 dollars

queen prairie

the mobile version is much weaker than the PC version though

also some people like the ease of use

I think it will give 60fps on 1080p 🤔

#

my 3060 on pc gave me 60fps+ on 1080 max settings

calm crow

You should be able to play almost any game at 60+ 1080p

with a 3060 that is.

Anyone know how the line process is at micro center? Or should I just stick to my 460 until this mess is over

livid idol
#

Not too bad. They hand out vouchers starting at the front of the line for the stock they have before opening. You might need to camp out the night before depending on which you are going to.

charred fractal
livid idol
#

Call your local one. They restock on different days.

#

Usually 2-3 times a week

charred fractal
#

Guessing that means you don’t think I should stick with the 460 lol

livid idol
#

If you're happy with it then sure, hang on to it and wait until next gen when everything should be stabilized. You're probably fine running 1080p medium for a while on that. (assuming it's a RX 460, not GTX)

They do not have a phone number :/

livid idol

Did you go on the website and search the branch or just Google?

charred fractal
#

Both it gives option to text them but when I click that it says number invalid and email gave generic micro center help desk

livid idol

Weird. Maybe they got so many calls they disconnected it lol

What’s your local micro enter Patrick

charred fractal
#

Westmont

#

A good hour drive other wise I would go in person

To ask when they restock

green harness

I don't think they would share that with you even if you could reach them

#

You could get on the unofficial Microcenter discord as they'll have some tips there, but it's not an exact science

Couple months ago

I've been hearing for a long time that they just have a central line for all the stores and the folks answering it don't answer those questions (probably don't know the answers tbf)

Sadly I may have to wait until next year then oh well guess I’ll stick to my 460 and la noir for now

@broken mantle what is the new egg shuffle?

Has anyone won the Newegg shuffle? What are the chances of winning?

calm crow

I think 0.01%

#

Don’t quote me on that

charred fractal
#

What is it

steep cobalt
#

Been trying to get a gpu through the shuffle for about a week now. Just seems like a waste of time, especially since you have to buy a mobo or psu that you don't want/need

calm crow
#

You enter for a chance to buy a gpu

#

They gotta sell their stuff somehow bundles are a logical solution to the problem

steep cobalt
#

Yeah. Obviously people want the gpus that badly

vital pivot
#

It’s basically a free lottery for a chance to purchase a random video card. Be warned as it’s mostly a combo bundle so you will fork out for extras.

calm crow
#

The bundles aren’t even that bad tbh. Just sell what you don’t want

how much was a 3060 ti an not scalped price?

for the FE, it was $399. Most of the other manufacturers charge between $450 and $600 or so.

you're using the built in display right?

well if you're looking at your laptop's screen and not a monitor then you're thre :p

#

This may be controversial but scalpers are only part of the problem. The others are people who still buy GPUs for jacked up prices and Ebay for letting them do this. There should be a max price point after which nothing is sold.

toxic sinew
#

okay

drowsy kiln
#

Nope it's not. It's a perfectly acurate statement, tho you did forget about silicone shortages and the pandemic playing a role in current pricing (caused more demand basically) but yes people buying cards and selling for more isn't he problem. It's people paying near 2x MSRP for them.

#

Sadly can't get everyone to stop buying them for scalped prices

tender mulch
#

Scalpers are just taking advantage of the supply and demand situation

drowsy kiln
#

Yea, and then average people for some reason pay for their outrageous asking prices.

At this point I'm going to build up my savings account for just in case I win the Newegg shuffle

I did not mention pandemic-related reasons because the pandemic will eventually be over but scalpels/dumb buyers/greedy selling platforms will outlive covid19

Fair, it will all slowly go away as we near Mid-2022 hopefully

They do a shuffle Monday through Saturday with GPU's in combo's. Better than buying a scalped GPU

yesterday was 26 shuffle product 🤔 if thay have 4 of each that means 100 gpus 🤔

not bad

livid idol

#

And makes it harder for bots to get it supposedly

has anyone hear won before?

Yes

really?

who

normal hawk

I won the option to buy a 3060 and a 5950x but i was asleep both times

lone pond

I won 3 shuffles lol

livid idol

Some have won multiple times

lone pond
#

any tips?

#

if there are any

#

but really early times when shuffle is not that much popular

normal hawk
#

5950x was after my vaccine so i was pooped. 3060 was after a long ass day. But I'm over in the middle east currently so it's midnight when they do the first draw

lone pond

if I dont get an email saying I won by 6 does that mean I lost

lone pond

good luck 👍

#

yeah I know but, do they accept any winners past a certain timed window

livid idol
#

I've won the shuffle twice but only for parts no one wants lol. 5800X and gigabyte 3090

example : the first draws are at 5:00 so do they even draw at lets say11:00 any more

That's what you'll get if you win

tender mulch

If someone doesn't buy it, they'll go to the next person

If like me someone's asleep their product will be reshuffled

how good are aio bots?

like building/renting one

#

Let's not go there here

#

That's spoop

normal hawk
#

^

lone pond
#

why not? im not trying to be a scalper

tender mulch
#

Because bypassing the shuffle like that will get you banned from the shuffle

lone pond
#

oh no not for the shuffle

#

like in general

livid idol
#

They do have bot detection in the shuffle

lone pond
#

newegg/buest buy/amazon etcetera

tender mulch
#

It's still spoop

#

So don't please

lone pond
#

because it frowned upon or because its hard to do?

normal hawk
#

Frowned upon

tender mulch
#

Because it's bad

normal hawk
#

There is a questionable legality to the bots

lone pond
#

Even if it's just for one?

livid idol
#

Because you're not even guaranteed to get anything and you might be throwing your money away anyway

tender mulch
#

It's a ToS violation of the website you use it on

tender mulch
#

So stop

lone pond
#

does anyone have any tips on how to win/increase chances of winning at the shuffle, like picking the least wanted item or something

livid idol
#

Well that's how I won at least, but just enter for everything

tender mulch
#

Pick everything you want, use one email, and cross all your fingers and toes

lone pond
#

so if I win am I forced to buy everything

tender mulch
#

no

#

just what you want

lone pond
#

even if you pick everything when the shuffle starts?

tender mulch
#

Ya, you can only buy what you want

#

It gets put into your cart automatically

#

so just take out what you don't want

lone pond
#

that's pretty nice, but it's still comes as a combo right?

normal hawk
#

They need to expand the BOTS act, like soon

#

It's illegal to use bots to scalp tickets to events. Needs to be expanded to any limited consumer good ngl

lone pond
#

not saying there shouldnt be a penalty or something but... yeah

normal hawk
#

They should get money by providing an actual service.

livid idol
#

That's no excuse to be immoral

normal hawk
#

Scalpers unlike traditional middlemen don't provide warranty's, customer support, or anything.

They are nothing more than a parasite on the back of actual services.

the only reason there not going to make any laws is because statistically it raises the market and helps the company

#

not completly sure on that I just read an article about it

#

kind of corrupt

livid idol
#

Except it doesn't, these products would sell even without the scalping

lone pond
#

true

#

on an unrelated topic, why do some 30 series gpus say military grade?

livid idol
#

It just artificially inflates the expected price of a product, which only hurts consumers

#

That's a marketing gimmick mostly

lone pond
#

is there any "backing" to it

tender mulch
#

No

lone pond
#

like were they used in the military or something idk

livid idol
#

Technically yes but it has no real world effect

#

@normal hawk actually not true, evga and asus both provide extended warranty for scaled cards. nvidia doesnt (so founders edition cards)

#

scalped*

livid idol
#

No it's mostly just capacitors and stuff that meet military requirements

#

Which has no real effect on the product

tender mulch
#

Or the same grade aluminum used in aircraft

#

Which is nothing special

#

Sure but don't buy it just for that

lone pond
#

im not, just find it funny

livid idol
#

The asus TUF series used to advertise that heavily in their products

lone pond
#

still do I think, its on there amazon listings

livid idol
#

It's there but not as prominent. It used to be one of the first things in the marketing fluff.

lone pond
#

oh

normal hawk
lone pond
#

is there any "secret" way to get one of these things?

livid idol
#

Not that anyone here knows of

lone pond
#

alright

#

is anyone here trying to get a ps5

#

unrelated

livid idol
#

There's only a few people here that are actually employed by newegg, and they have nothing to do with the shuffle

There's a few people with the "neweggstaff" tag too, but I wouldn't bother them. They can't help with most problems.

Yea officially now since November

#

3060ti FE coming today (card 12)

#

I’ve only really had 2 gaming cards

#

RX 480 and an RTX 2070 that failed on me

#

Rest of the gpus I’ve had were all quadros

#

I bought a pre-built a few months ago that has a 2080 Super in it. Would it be worth swapping it with a 3070? I don't think there is a huge difference in performance, but I could probably sell the 2080 for as much as the 3070 costs...

tender mulch
#

Not really

hot folio
#

Definitely not

tender mulch
#

Maybe 10% gain

The card has been ordered. It’s an EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 ULTRA
