i have a 750w you missed what i was saying lol
SELL ME THE E-WASTE and GIVE ME THE 3080 in the case
But Nvidia recommends 750w lol. GPU alone used 350w why sell something with 200w left for everything else.
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
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.
The 8 pin PCIE cables are actually 6+2 pins
what
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
see above
Awesome! Thanks for your help!
That's typical
damn I just need to upgrade from Rx580 to some decent card
Took me nearly 4 months of daily entry but I upgraded from a gtx 650 to a 3070
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
Max q gpus aren’t that good for gaming
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
you should go 2 years back lol
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
Nah
Such is the life of the unwealthy 
Desperately trying to be secure and safe but never succeeding 
Nope, not unless you got nice friends
Who would sell one to you
I don’t know what logic there is for “there has to be somewhere” — if there was they would sell out instantly
No there happens to not be a place
Josh, isn’t it 14 days now?
forgive me of my desperateness, it just so happens when i finally had the money to buy my build, before crypto got crazy, graphics card skyrocketed
Yea
I feel you 
I got a GTX 970 a couple months ago for a higher price than I would've liked
I got a 1060 for 120
Be happy with that
sold it today for 320
970s are 250 or more
They are man
Got mine at 195
Nice
Now to win the shuffle 😦
my used 1070 ti went for 400 on ebay
Older cards do lose some value
Hopefully >_>
live laugh lament your dying pc parts
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
i had mine at like 90 bucks i wanna say with rebate
I have had no video card for almost a year now, trust me, I know desperate
Not to downplay my desparation but the fastest gpu I've ever had before my 970 is my GT 730 
@spare relic for me it goes gt 120, then r9 290
very big
Where can I get a 3090?
Hah
Newegg shuffle or Best Buy drop in another two weeks
the answer is no
Or prebuilt
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.
Yeah the only reason to buy 3090 is if you need the vram...
Or if you can't get anything else good, like me 😫
Best cpu gpu combo Ik
You put that thought right back where it came from
i feel like if i got a 3090 ill just bottleneck
Lol
Bump the resolution, you won't bottleneck then
on ym cpu?\
Increasing the resolution increases the gpu load, but has less increase of cpu requirements
so a 5800x will be fine?
You can game 4k with a R5 3600
pog
So yes, you'll be absolutely fine
But it wouldn’t be the smartest buying a 3090
ofc
But wtv I think it’s easier to buy that compared to a 3080
i thought the best performance wise in the 3000 series was a 3060 ti and then 2080
3080*
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.
i wonder if the next best buy drop will have the 3080 ti
im assuming cause they hinted at a release mid may
The current rumor is the 26th I believe or 25th
2 hours later: microcenter
i think it goes 1080ti then 3080
Are you all talking preformace to price? If not how is a 3060 ti best?
performance wise
and price
3060 ti has the best performance next to the 3080 anything after tht is overkill
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
Sounds like someone near me. Put a R5 1600 and GT 1030 and a 1200w PSU xD
Wayyy too much
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
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

Ahh yes ddr5 X)
That's actually a rip off lul
You know what I want to do with three 13 year old HDDs? Run them in RAID-0.
Same
Would do one of those gamecube mods and put it in the front room for emulation
People are reselling the prebuilts from abs for cheap after removing the gpu
Supposedly
May be a scam but you'd get your money back lol
Lol
Honestly not that bad of a deal tbh
Oh? I would assume the higher the number the better
I'm blind it's a bid. Thought it was buy it now
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
Amd phenom 2 !!!!!!!!!
freakin dinosaur
Lol
Exactly lol. Asking $800 xD
Because that’s the current market
Don’t expect things to make sense too.
Market value it’s actually not lol, 2060 super is like 700 and 3060ti is like 1200-1300
Hes talking amazon prices id assume or something
Dang accidentally sent a friend request
a bud of mine is lending me a 580 till i get a graphics card. i'm finally free from the shackles of integrated graphics
lol true
rx 580
8gb model too
hopefully it'll hold me over until i nab a 60ti/70
I felt that like one of those mom jokes
Lmao
He is just a kid

Btw this chat is from Marketplace
He sounds like a kid
Omg the guy actually sold the pc for $800
I just asked him
Im adding rgb to all my builds now lmao
I mean I always add some kind of RGB to my build
That’s rule number one of flipping
Add rgb and make it look cool
its add at least an extra 15 fps

4k 60fps
yes
if you cant rgb just tack on some cheap led bulbs, takes maybe 10 mins and increases your profits by 20%
Increases speed by 200% if it’s red rgb it goes to 400%
LMAO
Does Newegg ship latam?
newegg prices
how much should the 1070 cost when the shortage is over
You think that will happen? An end to the shortage?
scalper newegg prices *
Yeah that's not happening until late 2022
You know, when the 4000 series comes out lol
alright
is a 1650 super okay? i dont need really need a super crazy graphics card
yes
okay cool cause i dont do heavy gaming i just need somthing that gives me better fps than intel 520 graphics
Lol that's a good upgrade
yea lol
I'm going from GT 730 to GTX 970
nice
at this point with how bad the shortage is just gotta go with what you can get
^^^100%
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
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
and what exactly would you be paying for that?
Question does dual fan vs triple fan affect gaming temps or is it just a cosmetic thing. Looking at 3060 ti and dreaming.
The fans play a role but so does the airflow in the case.
You can also buy a aftermarket cooler
you could try looking up reviews of specific 2-fan and 3-fan models if anyone's done thermal benchmarks on both
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
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.
I heard someone say a while ago the rx 6000 series has bad ogl perf
less than i would for a 3060 base
for more performance
Guys what is a good gpu to run warzone on 60 FPS mid settings ?
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?
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?
It’s a prebuilt from digital storm, so it’s one of their in house ones, not branded
For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.
For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.

not to be catty
but mid settings is the reccomended settings @ 60fps in almost every game unless it undergoes constant updates
i.e. tf2, csgo, payday 2, league of legends, any game that is still going 5+ years down the line
Tbf my 3070 ran on my 600w psu but towards the end before upgrading I got a couple stutters mid game for a second or so idk if it was a bit of that windows update or being used pretty close to 100% but now I'm on my 750w i havent seen thise problems
what graphics card?
No
I'll send you a toaster with doom on it
Toaster might be better than some prebuilts
Lmaooo
Well a toaster will actually toast things, some prebuilts just are a space heater
I'll take that water cooled graphing calculator
Remember that LTT video, pointless and stupid but loved every second of it
If it has a gigabyte psu you might be able to cooks your food on it if you don't mind it having a chance of throwing your food all over the walls XD
Gigabyte PSU -->
Well and the possibility of catching yourself or house on fire
Gigabyte Psu 
Imma make a water cooled toaster
But it's liquid cooled which means it'll run doom faster
What if i did youtube videos where i just liquid cooled random things to play doom on it.
Make sure it has the smallest rad possible, or even better just rad no fans XD
Helo
Ye
is zotac a quality aib manufacturer? I'm thinking of buying one off of ebay to hold me over until i can get a 30 series card bc the 980 ti I got has been acting really weird lately, so i talked to the seller and he agreed to return it
they work they just don't overclock well.
and check thermal pads before run it . sometimes they forgetting thermal pads lol
My zotac experience, while limited is not good
amp holo series is good tbh
they have ok cooling but as I said they forgetting thermal pads lol

and their website is completely trash 
I want to gift them 56k modem to add their server 😂
amd is bad
No
yes
Lol no
yea
Proof?
We really doing this
serch it up
Apparently lol
i have intel pc it is soo good
Both are good
This is graphics cards, wrong section
amd graphics really eww
I mean drivers kinda eww
hardware itself looks ok but software is so bad
Apparently any rx 5xxx drivers are fixed with 6xxx
I got 6800xt midnight black to replace my 3060 . yeah it's definitely better than 3060 but installing drivers and stuff is really eww

Nvidia Experience have much better design and easy
Is there any major differences between these two? KO RTX 3060 TI OC GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB vs Asus DUAL RTX3060TI OC GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB
from amd website
direct?
yep
Amd drivers are just as easy to update/install as gefroce experience
those are good drops i've heard
4/16 friday drop if I remember right
Nope they both 3060 ti so
a card's a card
amd usually dropping every thursday . they messed up 2 times with friday and wednesday drop but yeah they usually dropping every thursday
9 AM PST
noted
kay kay, one had higher clock rate but idk if that matters
NOt really
yeah
and one supports DirectX 12 and the other one doesn't
midnight black edition dropped just 2 times I guess and I catch it lol
idk if that matters
lucky
wat
thanks lol )
All 3060TI's support DX12
No that's just factory overclock, you can do it manually to the other one, just get the cheaper one
just buy whatever you can find right now lol
oh then it just didn't lable it ig
They both do it's just not in the product name or whatever
now I need white strix 3080 or 3090 to replace my 3070 vision 
kay, but out of stock im getting which ever one comes back first since 10 dollars is barely anything in the bigger picture since availablity more so much more important yk
It's not really a feature anymore to support dx12, my 6 year old gtx 960 amd equivalent supported it
Yeah look at all the models, whichever one you can get tbh
LOL alr
midnight black edition is really black lol that's it
6700xt
I meant to reply to draco
lol alright
6700xt or 6800
oh kay
But that's more 3070 category
6700xt is basically between 3060 and 3060ti
ray tracking performance is so bad on amd side
probably couse they dont have dlss
6700xt is not worth it
Msrp is a mythical concept at this point anyway
It's equivalent to rtx 2000 rt perf because it's their first iteration
Luck
if you can manage to buy 6800xt for msrp ( 650usd) that's great deal
Ray tracing still a gimmick anyway but DLSS is pog
which card is the easiest to get around the level of 3060ti though?
3070
amd looks easier to get to me tbh . they droppin every thursday on their store so you can buy for msrp
but im in canada... 😅
3070 easiest because 3060 ti is most efficient for mining
they dropping in canada too
I didn't notice a drop last thursday
there was drop
Do amd ship worldwide?
I saw the 5600x come in stock that was it tho 😦
6800 , 6700xt , and 6900xt was there
alr
and I managed to grab 6900xt
but then i have to buy from different canadian stores
They have a lot more countries on their list than nvidia anyway
not the amd sotr
I will see if im there might get a 6800xt
Nice
what time was the drop @lone pond
let me check 🤔
IMO It makes some scenes look 💯
eoh really
I think they doing 2pm gmt idk what time that will be for you
prob during the hour my bot crashed and i didnt notice
Or .com/en-ca or something
8.30 am pst ig
Still a gimmick
Gimmick implies an inaccurate selling point, the visuals gained are factual
Which countries does the AMD Store ship to?
US, Canada, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden
According to Google a gimmick is a trick or device intended to attract attention, publicity, or trade
https://www.amd.com/en/direct-buy/5458373400/ca heres canada amd link for 6800 🤔
Rtx is a gimmick it's to attract attention, until you can turn rtx on without dlss and only loose like 10 or 20fps it's a gimmick
On some games its nice
Really enjoying it on AC: Valhalla
It may be nice but it's still a gimmick tbh
this will be the week i grab a card for my new build i feel it
Good luck
wait after going on the ca website it still tells me to buy from canadacomputers no the actual amd website
what are you enjoying on Valhalla?
idk about it lol it brings me back to US site 🤔
mhm
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.
With it maxed out it was one of the most rewarding experiences Ive had in years
After playing this on my 1070ti to completion just months ago and now again on my 3090, it is definitely a 💯 improvement
But unless you have a 3090 you can't push those numbers
I have a 3090. For people without the hardware it was probably not a great game. But being able to enjoy it fully it was.
Im sure you could do it 1440p with a lower card though.
Mb with dlss and a few other things cranked down
With 4k ultra yeah it its
My 3070 does it at 1440p, just wasn't as jawdropping as they made it sound.
psycho is > ultra, you have to manually crank it up further
Well whatever the ultra equivalent is
i think theres even a further secret cinematic setting you can enable via launch args
rtx can look great in some games
i wouldn't say it's a "gimmick"
maybe a year or so ago it was
Tornados don’t exist where I live because of mountains
I live in a city too, I’m just in a very large valley that prevents tornados from forming somehow
The mountains are very far away but surrounded by them
Florida Has tornadoes, i've had several rip the hell out of places near me
I understand it may look nice i just dont think it's worth the perf hit
yeah that's fair
I find it whack that tornados are just a normal things in some places wow
Tornadoes come out of nowhere most times without warning. You just see the devastation left in their wake
Swirly wind that destroys buildings, sounds weird when you say it like that
Reason: Bad word usage
Hurricanes are another matter, if you live at sea level, its S***, even inland, its S***
as was shaders at one point. The dev work has to start somewhere :)
Yeah v weird, they not a thing in Ireland or europe at all afaik so it just went over my head its just a thing we see in movies sometimes lol
Ohh 100% i just mean atm it is i think in a few gens it will be like that
Yeah you are probably too far north for that aren’t you
aye aye :)
I've no idea lol, where do tornadoes usually stop in the America line?
🤞
Idk it’s actually more east to west boundary
Ohh idk, well Ireland is around quite north canada anyway
Latitude wise
Or longitude i always get confused
Horizontally
Usually happens mostly between these two lines
Rough approximation of tornado alley
Oh no I revealed my location
Someone’s going to show up at my door
Time to dox ness
You are forgetting cactus
I live within a 200 square mile radius of Florida. Good luck
And small shrubs
Most defining feature of southern az is the constant and never ending road construction
Always at least 1 major road undergoing some construction
One step closer to finding your house XD
I defined all of the East valley so gl
@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.
Russia gets some big tornadoes
And tornadoes can happen anywhere, although they're more common some places (especially tornado alley)
Interesting, never heard of them in russia
Probably because much of Russia is mostly uninhabited. If a tree falls in a forest, etc.
True
The US also has the most reported tornadoes each year, but they can occur anywhere and there are a bunch of tornado hot spots in the world (South Africa, Russia, Bangladesh, etc.)
How big is the different between a 3060ti vs a 3070 in 1440p frame wise
Price to performance, yes
3070 certainly more common in things like shuffles and scalped are very similar in value
Raw performance, no
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
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?
Depends on the rest of the hardware tbh
Not sure if links are allowed here , if they’re not I’ll just delete it
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
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
Loooks decent although 4x4 is a weird config for ddr4 lol
It's usually 1x16 or 2x8 lol
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?
I would . That’s me tho
its not gonna be available til may 27
should i?
i was looking for 3060ti
but
3060 is basically same thing
how come?
i might be able to get the 3060ti FE with the same amount
its amazon
Because you probably won’t get another chance to get one for another few months
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
yo
Would a r5 3600 go well with a 3080?
brb, lemme c if i can get it
prob bottleneck a bit
I'm thinking of upgrading from a 1050 ti when prices drop
I don't have the money at the moment.
I'm waiting till august/late july
Do you guy's know where can I get a 3060 neer msrp? Is it imposible?
Drops almost always come in a combo. I have participated in 2 shuffles but I'm not sure where to check if I won.
You ll get an email if you are selected.
Yo I thank you all for telling me to add rgb to my builds
Lol
They sell like cakes
Rgb is like flame decals. Makes your pc faster
Yea, always add that RGB
Even if it's RGB paint... or tape... throwback to Scrapyard wars
My brother doesn't like RGB actually
I had him open the boxes and whenever it was something with rgb, he did a sad emoji lol
email and you can also sign up for text alerts. you only have two hours to check out once you win or it forfeits so be prepared to check.
if you win you'll likely get an email at 2/4/6 ish pacific (my theory is that they re-shuffle forfeits twice at the end of the 2 hour windows), if you lose you wont get a rejection until the very end
They do reshuffle them yes
If select multiple graphics cards on the shuffle and you win do you only win one or all that you selected?
technically it is possible to win more than one but i think the chances of that are very small
I doubt you can win more than one, I would guess they have a limit of only one win
im not sure but according to some article i saw the chances of winning are roughly 1 in 100,000
That article used that as a headline it was not accurate
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.
well yes ik but its close enough the chances of winning are pretty small anyway
Well if they have one card vs 100 cards 100 cards increases your chances from 0.00001 to 0.001 significantly better
well yes but its still very small
True
Considering that many people have entered shuffle and won it in here my guess is that the chances are significantly better though
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
I remember when I entered my first shuffle and felt like I really had a chance at being picked
AC: Valhalla @ 4kMaxSettings on 3090
@lone pond stop it
hehe 😎
i got a untel(R) UHD Graphics 620 lol
into the bin
it sucks
yea its an intel hue
ah is yours expandable?
cause there is a platform of mmx boards i think they are called
i dont know what that means, its just a lenovo laptop
much like pcie slots
but i want to buy a nitro acer 5, its cheap but i dont know if its good
there is a system of cards for some laptops
wich one
Old laptops, yes
some even have i think pcie slots you can use a riser on
620 what cpu is that on?
but i think you would be using non powered graphics cards
mine has a i5
exactly a i5 8th gen
ahh
lol
every laptop have pcie slot but there's wifi connector sitting on that slot
here is a handy dandy guide on performance on the gpu side https://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Laptop-Graphics-Cards.130.0.html
Inclusive list of all graphics cards currently available for notebooks. Approximate 3DMark benchmarks results are provided in italic.
you guys made me remember, my laptop cant use lan cable
depends m.2 pcie slots are sometimes left open for expansion nowadays
Which would require an eGPU setup with power supply and external GPU
maybe lol I don't use laptop recently lol
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 😆
good is subjective, what are you trying to do
yeah that's pretty nice idea xd
that link i sent you has very good roundups
Tbh for the price of an egpu and a laptop you can just get a laptop and a dedicated pc lol
i dont have to much money, but i want something good
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
its 600 bucks
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
hmmmm
i wont be playing games like COD or those games that use to much like performance
yes gaming
ok if you had said that last year
i would have told you to buy a pc
mostly because of this
Toppcat is typing...
@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
hmmm
find a review
but im more like a laptop guy
i meant the mobile 2000 series gpu
i personally would recommend used
why would you need a gaming laptop?
that is just torturing for both end
torturing you and torturing the machine lol
checks ebay
oh the 3060 base is 1200 dollars
the mobile version is much weaker than the PC version though
also some people like the ease of use
30% weaker ?
the one thing to unplug and ability to get 60fps
BUILD UP THOSE MUSCLES. LAPTOPS ARE BAD

but i agree laptops are the best art portability
make sure to not get a dell gaming laptop
stay away
good

theres asus tuf dash with 3060 for 1.4k 🤔
mmmm
it looks pretty good 🤔
10750 but yeah looks nice 🤔
I think it will give 60fps on 1080p 🤔
my 3060 on pc gave me 60fps+ on 1080 max settings
my laptop plays fortnite at 60fps with a 1650
lol newegg is weird. they one day shipped the comboed mobo. but 10 day shipped the graphics card
Anyone know how the line process is at micro center? Or should I just stick to my 460 until this mess is over
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.
Is there a specific day or random
Guessing that means you don’t think I should stick with the 460 lol
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)
Gtx Msi 460 twin froze ii 768 mb of vram was going to pass down to my friend for him to start gaming but I’m not paying scalpers price
Take it to Pawn Stars in Vegas. It’s an antique
@livid idol one last question my local micro center does not have a phone number what now
wat
They do not have a phone number :/
Did you go on the website and search the branch or just Google?
Both it gives option to text them but when I click that it says number invalid and email gave generic micro center help desk
Weird. Maybe they got so many calls they disconnected it lol
What’s your local micro enter Patrick
Westmont
A good hour drive other wise I would go in person
To ask when they restock
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
Fal said they should :/
The one nearest to me, Cambridge, doesn't disclose that info
That’s why you make friends with the employees.
So we just have to come everyday until it works out? Ouch
Ya know. Slip then a 20. Or a candy bar or just be grateful for their assistance.
I'm sure each one does it different. I didn't call personally but I'd heard from other people that did.
Policies change too in this kind of chaos.
When did they call?
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
I would just make it a date visit.
Stop at the store buy something. They might have the number on the receipt.
And they might not answer the question the scalpers win again sigh
is it ok to hotswap gpu fans?
nay
Heh. I took mine.

I actually got selected in the newegg shuffle last week. I feel like I need to buy a lottery ticket or something.

Do it
@broken mantle what is the new egg shuffle?
Has anyone won the Newegg shuffle? What are the chances of winning?
What is it
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
You enter for a chance to buy a gpu
They gotta sell their stuff somehow bundles are a logical solution to the problem
Yeah. Obviously people want the gpus that badly
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.
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.
it's going to take me forever to get my hands on one
i'd try to stay below 600 for a 3060ti, but at this point, a card's a card
i have a gtx 1660
flex
also cool
I don't know how good that is
i assume it's better than mine though
got any 3090
ah yes the good old 3090
What am I looking at?
Looks like an engine
thats the next wave of tech right there
Rip I am poor
MFW I got my order in the second I got notified, says departed for UPS Friday afternoon, and it updates today saying my UPS third day shipping will get here... Thursday

Ugh I'm having a similar problem with UPS. They said it would be delivered last Friday. Now it's saying Wednesday. I just need my dang power supply.
I got a 1030 2gb and it cost me 200$ cad
:/
its my fault for not getting into pcs sooner lmao
oooooof
Is a 1050 ti good for rust?
this should give you a good idea https://youtu.be/5wC04ph_oN4
RUST tested in December of 2019 on the GTX 1050 Ti! I tested at 1920x1080 FHD resolution using Low, Medium, High and Ultra settings.

the rest of their computer is overbuilt to "eliminate bottlenecks" probably
so im on a laptop and its not using my main gpu and yes i have already been to the nvidia control pannel and done all that but its still being wierd
you're using the built in display right?
im retarted i think i am but how do i make sure
well if you're looking at your laptop's screen and not a monitor then you're thre :p
so laptops like to prefer igpu for the inbuilt display sometimes, so in order to use your dgpu properly you'll want to plug in a monitor
is a 1080ti with 11gb VRAM still good?
or is a 1650 super better. I'm planning on getting one of those
may be getting an rtx 3070 soon with a tdp of 220W. will my 650W psu be enough to handle it?
i believe its the minimum recommended for a 3070
any recommendations on a good cheaper 750W psu?
i suppose thats more of a caes-and-psus question but w/e
man the turnover time of peoples' parts upgrades is wild 
you dont even know. i've gone through 2 3060s in the span of 2 months
got a non-white 3060, used it for a month, got a white 3060 and sold the old non white one
its only been like 2 weeks with this one
How much do you want to pay for a PSU?
already got an answer in #building-and-recc-chat, range was around $100.
if you have any other suggestions tho i'd be welcome to those
Ok
Is there a specific type of paint to use if I was to customize a gpu housing?
Something plastic friendly
I was thinking instead of praying for a white card ... i could just white out the housing...
Could indeed. Krylon makes a plastic paint.
Thanks I’ll check it out
the great thing about that is, you can more accurately match it to you other white products, if you are so inclined
Yea exactly... I need to find a Corsair white paint 😆
Yea I’m pretty sure I saw someone give the exact name for the white on certain products on Reddit
Might be a good starting point
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.
okay
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
Scalpers are just taking advantage of the supply and demand situation
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
But that's all we can do is hope
You're wrong. We can social distance, vaccinate, wait for the cure, use face masks, send antivaxers to prison 🤣
Let's not go there
I wonder how microcenter updates what they have in stock. Between closing and opening, 3070's appeared on their website and are now gone 🤷♂️
Could they have them and remove them from the website?
No 3090's?
no 3090 and 6700xt bundles for over 1000$ 
1660 super is still good yes?
How much are you paying for it?
The whole Pc or the gpu? O o
Just the gpu lmfao
They’re goddamn expensive in Canada
Bad firefox
Don't make me get the spray bottle
They are expensive everywhere. Don't buy from scalpers
It’s from newegg...
Amazon, walmart, Ebay, Newegg and so on are selling scalper gpu's
Are you sure it's not a third party?
3rd party
Cuz Newegg only doing Shuffle GPU's
I didn’t know you could do that on newegg lol
I didn’t know third parties could sell on Jewett
Newegg
So ye, don't buy it. Stay away
What about 1070$ for a 2060?
Still no
hello
Damn
Enter the newegg shuffle or buy from microcenter in person
Or get lucky on best buys website.
Every newegg is out of stock
Tons of GPU today
yeah at 2:00 in the morning!!!
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
That's because you can only buy a gpu by getting lucky in the shuffle
And makes it harder for bots to get it supposedly
has anyone hear won before?
Yes
I won the option to buy a 3060 and a 5950x but i was asleep both times
I won 3 shuffles lol
Some have won multiple times
any tips?
if there are any
but really early times when shuffle is not that much popular
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
if I dont get an email saying I won by 6 does that mean I lost
you can invite your family or friends too to increase your chance lol
never gonna happen lol
they sending you weren't selected email too
good luck 👍
yeah I know but, do they accept any winners past a certain timed window
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
nicee
Potentially, yes
That's what you'll get if you win
If someone doesn't buy it, they'll go to the next person
If like me someone's asleep their product will be reshuffled
^
why not? im not trying to be a scalper
Because bypassing the shuffle like that will get you banned from the shuffle
They do have bot detection in the shuffle
newegg/buest buy/amazon etcetera
because it frowned upon or because its hard to do?
Frowned upon
Because it's bad
There is a questionable legality to the bots
Even if it's just for one?
Because you're not even guaranteed to get anything and you might be throwing your money away anyway
It's a ToS violation of the website you use it on
good point
So stop
never started, it was just a thought
does anyone have any tips on how to win/increase chances of winning at the shuffle, like picking the least wanted item or something
Well that's how I won at least, but just enter for everything
Pick everything you want, use one email, and cross all your fingers and toes
so if I win am I forced to buy everything
even if you pick everything when the shuffle starts?
Ya, you can only buy what you want
It gets put into your cart automatically
so just take out what you don't want
that's pretty nice, but it's still comes as a combo right?
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
there's always two sides to a story, some people need the money
not saying there shouldnt be a penalty or something but... yeah
They should get money by providing an actual service.
That's no excuse to be immoral
good point
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
Except it doesn't, these products would sell even without the scalping
It just artificially inflates the expected price of a product, which only hurts consumers
That's a marketing gimmick mostly
is there any "backing" to it
No
like were they used in the military or something idk
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*
No it's mostly just capacitors and stuff that meet military requirements
Which has no real effect on the product
still cool to brag about to a friend if you get one 🙂
Sure but don't buy it just for that
im not, just find it funny
The asus TUF series used to advertise that heavily in their products
still do I think, its on there amazon listings
It's there but not as prominent. It used to be one of the first things in the marketing fluff.
oh
When you buy a card on newegg, you can return the card to newegg. Same with microcenter, Amazon, best buy etc.
I can not return it to scalpers.
is there any "secret" way to get one of these things?
Not that anyone here knows of
There's only a few people here that are actually employed by newegg, and they have nothing to do with the shuffle
ahh got it. thought you meant warranty thru the manufacturer
is anyone here in this chat an employee?
mike?
Mikeogame
MikeOGame
I'd like one yeah. Internet isn't fast enough for the Walmart drops though
Use octoshop, flat out awesome and there are no fees
There's a few people with the "neweggstaff" tag too, but I wouldn't bother them. They can't help with most problems.
makes sense
EVGA RTX 3070. Yay or nay?
why not
if you have an opportunity to get one, why are you still here
buy it
Yessss go buy it now
Managed to only get 1 EVGA card out of 12 cards smh
You got 12 cards 👀
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...
Not really
Definitely not
Maybe 10% gain
The card has been ordered. It’s an EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 ULTRA
