[karmic crag]

happy for ya sister

still waiting for a 3070 ova here

thank you 😌

how does VAG work?

[fresh badger]

What steps do I need to take for switching from an Nvidia 1060 6gb to a Radeon RX Vega 11 gpu?

[karmic crag]

1. take out 1060
2. put in Vega 11

download drivers and whatnot

[halcyon plover]

Ddu

[fresh badger]

Do I need to uninstall Nvidia graphic drivers first

[karmic crag]

gotcha. thanks

[halcyon plover]

Use ddu to uninstall

You dont have to do it but recommended

[fresh badger]

When do I use ddu?

[halcyon plover]

Use it with the 1060

Go into safe mode

[karmic crag]

that's smart actually

[halcyon plover]

And uninstall nvidia drivers

[karmic crag]

I have a temp 580 which is a pretty great card, so I think I'll bank on the shuffle

bb drops are stressful now that there's no pattern

[halcyon plover]

Then unplug it and connect the vega 11 and install drivers

[fresh badger]

With the 1060, go into safe mode and uninstall with ddu
Then swap the gpu and then download amd drivers?

[halcyon plover]

Yes

[fresh badger]

Do I need to do anything after uninstalling Nvidia drivers in the safe mode or just shut it down

[halcyon plover]

Ddu should shut it down for you but yeah you can shut it down

[fresh badger]

Ahh okay

Thank you so much for your help sir

Very much appreciated

[livid idol]

Looks like that's it for this VAG drop, if you didn't get anything better luck next time

[vital pivot]

I can say this.

The evga/LTT vag drop insulted a huge amount of evga customers who signed up for product notifications.

[hot folio]

Lmfao I just got an email from Newegg and I go so excited only to realize it’s just a promotional email

[meager sleet]

how do you enter the newegg lottery to buy a new card??

[tender mulch]

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

Starts at 10 AM PST

[meager sleet]

thx

[drowsy kiln]

Same, always see those emails but never the one I'm wanting to see.

[crisp moth]

could a 2060 super run 4 monitors with little trouble?

[green harness]

"easily" 😆

I just don't have time to watch every LTT video that comes out

I have been pursuing other options ofc. And I am glad you secured a gpu, but calling it a good system is pretty rich imo

Work

[calm crow]

Control f exist there

Is no work

[green harness]

I was just not available for that and can't be for every LTT video drop

[green harness]

Work as in I was working

[livid idol]

That's why they're doing different times for each video now

[hybrid kettle]

This one happened while I was at school so it makes it hard for me to get these ones

[livid idol]

Patience and persistence. That's the only way to get a GPU right now without buying into the resell market.

[green harness]

Has anyone been upset you got one? I'm legit very happy for you

[heady turtle]

^same

[karmic crag]

^^double same

we're all in this together

bad friend

they don't want to see you succeed

??

you were both on the queue

ah

that's unreasonable

we're all just trying to get a card

[heady turtle]

Bruh

They're just jelly

[hybrid kettle]

If you are on queue it means you are just too lazy to try to get a card a harder way

[heady turtle]

And not nice

[karmic crag]

VAG takes more effort than the queue, anyway. you have to be waaay more vigilant

for the queue, you just... wait

[green harness]

Sounds like you don't want to be their friend anymore either 😆
Sorry to hear that though. No reason to get mad at individuals for scoring GPUs, it's on the companies to make good systems

[livid idol]

Who ruins a friendship over simply being unluckier or lazier than the other person?

[heady turtle]

Bruh

[green harness]

They're an idiot. Good riddance imo

[heady turtle]

You tried way harder than them

[livid idol]

Even though you had to pass the gauntlet to even get there

[heady turtle]

Yep lol

And they have some hard questions

[green harness]

Make sure to send them a photo of your gpu when you get it

[livid idol]

This time it was a browser platforming game

[heady turtle]

Ohh really? How did that work?

[livid idol]

You had to climb up all the jumps, complete with mario-like physics

[green harness]

Yeah all good. I just wasn't sure if someone was being salty at you ya know?

[heady turtle]

That's pretty cool tbh

[green harness]

Make sure to send them that photo when it comes in

[heady turtle]

Yessss

[jagged sequoia]

I'm starting to feel like if I keep my 2060 for like another few months it'll be worth a grand

this must be how dumb crypto people feel

HODL

[heady turtle]

Nah performs worse than a 1650 super

[hybrid kettle]

Nah won’t get that far, I think it’s going to stabilize around 500 and stay there until it drops

[jagged sequoia]

lol

[calm crow]

I haven’t seen a 2060 under $1000 in awhile

[karmic crag]

very bad

3060ti msrp is 400, 3060's is around that

[calm crow]

No you wouldn’t be a fool. If anything you’d be a fool for getting a card at scalper price

[flat bridge]

TBF the rumored msrp price for a 3080ti was exactly tht

[calm crow]

Be patient and get a card that’s actually worth paying for.

Just get a 1050ti then

If you desperately need one

it’s also just a temporary card it’ll be okay

What cpu do you have though?

It will live with that

[flat bridge]

what gpu do u have in ur current build

yeah but i mean if ur building a new pc

just use tht to boot it

and just play the games youve been already playing on the current rig

shouldnt be any different thtan suffering and witch hunting for non existent gpus and scalper price

at*

[median sequoia]

What’s a realistic price for a rtx 3070

[tender mulch]

$600

[calm crow]

Msrp

[median sequoia]

Lol $600 would be a dream

[calm crow]

get to the bb drops and newegg shuffles

[lean sleet]

little big lol @onyx orbit

[heady turtle]

600-700$

[calm crow]

Or you’ve been smart and waited to win the shuffle , Best Buy drop , Linus drops , local deals , or got a amazon drop.

[heady turtle]

Not a 3070, 3080 yes

Nah scapled 3070s are going for 1.5k ish

[empty jetty]

i would be happy with like a 1660 super or ti but you cant even get those

[karmic crag]

shuffle is your best bet

others might say best buy or zotac but those are purely chance

at least with the shuffle, there's a guarantee that you might win

[heady turtle]

Or amd.com but min price is 480$ with 6700xt

[karmic crag]

amd is pretty consistent too

every thurs

[stray gyro]

wut time?

[inland lily]

there was an alert at 8:35 am PST today

I somehow missed the notification : (

[dawn narwhal]

what was it?

[heady turtle]

Why lol

[dawn narwhal]

?

the EVGA queue is never going to happen lol

i wish all people good luck

easiest way to get a gpu is microcenter

i understand not all pepople have one

[karmic crag]

there's one that's decently close to me

[dawn narwhal]

3 days

ive timed the restocking times

[karmic crag]

i don't feel like driving 30 mins for a chance of getting a card

noted

[dawn narwhal]

i biked 30 min each day one way and it took me 3 days, restock tuesdays thursdays and satuerdays for me

[heady turtle]

Some people are dummies

[foggy merlin]

i dont feel like driving 2 hours from my hut in the middle of a corn field just for a chance at the holy grail msrp 3080

[dawn narwhal]

im suprissed that the 6800 is actually better than a 3070, i conducted tests and somehow it works better, but benchmarks say otherwise

[heady turtle]

Yeah it is, people just go for 3070 because better feature set of dlss rtx evenc etc

[dawn narwhal]

fair, but if you sell one it all works out plus profit for upgrades, thats my goal

yeah

also i got unlucky with the 3070s i got a super small one

that barley worked

so its a good tradeoff

or maybe the TUF cards are masive idk

broadcast is the best one by far

ah

thats why

[heady turtle]

2 card 3070 is still fine

[dawn narwhal]

it was a small 3 fan, smaller than most 2 fans

[heady turtle]

Fans*

[heady turtle]

How?

Physically how

[dawn narwhal]

gigabyte eagle, they used super small fans

yeah

[heady turtle]

A cards a card

[dawn narwhal]

eww\

[heady turtle]

🔥🔥

Lmao

[dawn narwhal]

i want to figure out how t make custome H150 capiluex acyllic things

the LED glass if you will

[vital pivot]

Etch the glass and put a strip of LEDs along the edge

[vital oriole]

^

[fresh badger]

Sorry, kinda weird question but can i still use my old graphics card if I uninstall the drivers with ddu for a better gpu.

[vital oriole]

Well, uh, yeah

But it's not exactly gonna be stable

[fresh badger]

LOL okay, just wanna really make sure

wAit

[vital oriole]

Drivers gonna conflict cause you gotta install one for the other card anyway

You wanna be limited to 800x600?

[hot folio]

Best resolution ahh yes

[fresh badger]

I actually already moved my graphics card to a new computer. I''m trying to give my old computer to my friend but it doesn't have any gpu which is why i bought ryzen 5 3400g for it. I'm just trying to delete the drivers that was installed before i install the cpu with integrated gpu

[vital oriole]

Ah, then it's okay

I thought you're gonna use two gpus, unless you slap them into sli or smth, they would have a chance to conflict

[fresh badger]

Oh no lol

Anyways, thank you for your help

[vital oriole]

yw

[silver wren]

Who got a w today?

I didn’t 😭

[dire oxide]

i got a D

does that count

[young quarry]

Me looking at unstarted final programming project due tomorrow ...

[calm crow]

It is what it is

[lavish otter]

No

[dire oxide]

i do

[lavish otter]

We are not amused

[livid idol]

They're even still charging for shipping lol

[hot folio]

I wonder how much I could get for my rx480

[slim vessel]

No luck yestoday

[forest pivot]

Im glad i got my 2060 for $200

[flat bridge]

thts a bargain

[silver wren]

You’re so lucky

If I get one for that Price I would be vibing for the whole week😭

Newegg should through discord to verify no bots are buying them

And get prove that the person who get it is not a scalper

[dreamy dragon]

JU4N#1436 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[empty jetty]

agreed man i hate it i want a gpu so bad

[silver wren]

I haven’t sleep trying to get one😭

There is not even a gt 1030 rn

No one used to buy those

[coarse spindle]

Well im doing fine

[hybrid kettle]

Igpu kinda epic ngl

[coarse spindle]

Used local hustle up in alaska on point

RAM/960 for 100$

[silver wren]

That’s a good deal

Well it depends cpu u have

Bro if I had to upgrade I would be chilling rn

[coarse spindle]

Its a grat deal

And it comes with a PSU

[silver wren]

Damnnnn you got half the pc

[coarse spindle]

funny thing is I found a bunch of towers with those exact things missing so it works

Like 4770 stuff

This will be lit

[dreamy dragon]

JU4N#1436 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[silver wren]

I even have an “F” cpu so I can’t even turn that thing up

[hoary temple]

Should I get a 1660 rn?

[teal walrus]

Why Not

[coarse spindle]

@hoary temple if a good price

And that will be hard

[hoary temple]

What would be a good price ? 😂

[coarse spindle]

Oof.

If you can get this you are a lucky man

Check out this item on OfferUp. https://offerup.co/LhGLON5y3fb

[hoary temple]

Bc I’m kinda getting tired of waiting

You know what’s funny

[coarse spindle]

Seems sketchy low but looks legit enough

Woah no kidding

These go for 500$ so if you can get it for that price you are golden

On further inspection this guy may be a bit sketchy

Pictures were legit and couldn’t trace but the guy has another card up for a stupid low price sooo

[hoary temple]

True he also selling a 3090 for 600

Yeah I saw

[coarse spindle]

Thats... a little sus

[hoary temple]

Yeah it kinda weird

[coarse spindle]

However- that doesn’t absolutely mean that this isn’t real, but i would be very careful about it.

Like ask for a video of him on GPU-z and to meet up in a public place

[hoary temple]

I could go the safe way but kinda dumb and spend $500 on a new 1660 I saw

But geez it’s high price

[coarse spindle]

Unfortunately thats what they go for

[hoary temple]

Yeah

[coarse spindle]

I would still look at the sus card tho

If you just ask for a video of GPUZ on a text that will be a pretty good factor

[hoary temple]

I would trust more if the guy has reviews

[coarse spindle]

Yeah...

Maybe i am just dumb, but I have got lucky on these things before, as long as you cover all your bases to make sure absolutely nothing could go wrong

[hoary temple]

There’s a 1660 in my Amazon cart and I have a urge to buy it but the other side of me tells me to wait

[coarse spindle]

What do you need a 1660 for? Could you get away w a 950?

[hoary temple]

I just hate the fact that a couple years ago they went for like $250

I was hoping just to play games like warzone and bfv and other games or start streaming or something

[coarse spindle]

Oof...

My advice is... interesting but good with a bit of sketchy mixed in.

[calm crow]

1660s are simply not worth any more then $250

[hoary temple]

I saw a 2060 on offer up for $500 but that’s also kinda high

[coarse spindle]

Just buy a 950 of aliexpress (you will be surprised how much game 100$ can get you) and let that tide you over

Thats what I did

[calm crow]

But a temp card yeah.

I got a 4gb 1050ti and it ran everything I wanted it to

[coarse spindle]

Yeah but 1050s are hard now to

[calm crow]

apex , total war warhammer , civ 6 , and Minecraft. Yeah but you can find them at lower prices then $500

[hoary temple]

Rn on my old build I got a rx560 2gb

[coarse spindle]

AND YOU DIDENT TELL US

just keep that

[hoary temple]

It’s been having trouble lately

[calm crow]

your more likely to find one at <$150 then anything else. Yeah your fine with that. If you want something just wait till you win a shuffle with Newegg tbh

I’m also the dude that would happily pay $500 for a 2060super tho. just because id keep the card for 5+ years

[hoary temple]

Yeah I’d keep a 2060 super for a while lol

[empty jetty]

i want a graphics card so bad lol im stuck on integrated graphics

[normal hawk]

Buy a suspicious 1050ti on wish

[spare relic]

do they sell GTS 450s on wish

[normal hawk]

Yea

[spare relic]

I don't mean the fake 1050s that are actually 450s, I want to see fake 450s that are actually something way worse 😎

[normal hawk]

Oh

[sonic reef]

do you need GPU strimers?

[halcyon plover]

Good thermal paste for gpu?

[drowsy kiln]

I usually use Arctic MX-4 for anything.

[heady turtle]

Would you choose over mx5?

[drowsy kiln]

I've just had a tube of MX-4 for about 6 months now. Bought like a 20g tube a long time ago and never ran out

When I need to get more I'll likely get MX-5 tho

[halcyon plover]

How is mx5 cheaper then mx4 on amazon

[heady turtle]

That's why i was asking

Also idk bout you but the mx5 with spreader is cheaper than mx4 with spreader thingy lol

[drowsy kiln]

Yea, well having a 20g tube of MX-4 I'm not going through that one fast

[halcyon plover]

Btw which pads are you getting?@heady turtle i think i will get 2mm and 1mm

[heady turtle]

I saw the 3080 needed for the back and 2 and 1 on the front so idk

[halcyon plover]

I saw someone tha used 3mm for back and it was too thic

So 2mm is needed for the back

Im just not sure about front

[heady turtle]

Idk might just get my ruler out and see

[halcyon plover]

Also which pads brand the ones i looked at are expensive not sure if worth it

[heady turtle]

Well idk the 3mm were hard to find but if it's just 1 and 2 probs arctic

[halcyon plover]

It is only 6 w/mk tho

Its probably enough tho evga uses 1.2w mk on their 3080 ftw 3

[heady turtle]

Lol should be better than that anyways

It's not like we're cooling g6x anyway

[heady turtle]

Yeah well the thermal right is way too expensive imo

Especially cuz need different size

[halcyon plover]

Yeah

[dawn notch]

YESS THEY FINNALY ADDED NEWEGG CA DEALS!!!

[halcyon plover]

Should be fine for 3070

[mental knoll]

another shuffle another email saying i did not win.

round 182# @heady turtle

[tender mulch]

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

[karmic crag]

thanks

[heady turtle]

Good luck

[hearty minnow]

gl on the shuffle everyone... ive lost count on how many times ive entered it

[hybrid kettle]

Just count the you weren’t selected emails

[hearty minnow]

its too sad to look at all of them tho

[fair moon]

its my first time today lmao

[hearty minnow]

welcome to the party, it's either you're super lucky and get it in your first 15-20 tries or you just never get it

but good luck

[green harness]

Good luck! I hope you have more luck than I have had, and if not you can at least join us all in collecting our daily Ls

[fair moon]

Thank you, i noticed people always saying that some people sign up with like hundreds of accounts to increase their chance of winning

[green harness]

Newegg says they deal with that, but idk

[normal hawk]

Y'all ready to get rejected again?

[fair moon]

ready.

[normal hawk]

I secured a 3080 for my main build since I bought the prebuilt. Now I'm trying for a 3060/ti for the most part

[hearty minnow]

im tryting to get a 3060/ti too

[fair moon]

same

[green harness]

Always

[hearty minnow]

I even have 2 of my friends entering the shuffle for me

[vital pivot]

Morning

[hearty minnow]

morning

[fair moon]

sheesh

[vital pivot]

Last night I was talking to a old friend who I built a couple of gaming box’s for. Turns out he knows a local guy that bought 60k in 3080s to scalp.

[hearty minnow]

holy-

[fair moon]

jus sayin if i win ill jus sell it 2 someone for a bit of profit

[vital pivot]

My friend won a 3060 and going to trade it and a 970 with cash for a 3080

[hearty minnow]

nice

my dumb self sold a 1660 last year in december thinking i would get a 3060 ti shortly after

now i have no graphics card

[fair moon]

integrated graphics life

[hearty minnow]

yep

but the 3060 aorus in the shuffle looks amazing

[fair moon]

ye the circle thingy around the fans looks amazing

ima buy that one if i win

and the bundle isnt that bad like ur getting a b550m

[hearty minnow]

if you enter for the 3 3060s it will assign you 1 out of those 3 you cant choose which one you get

[hearty minnow]

yeah true

[vital pivot]

My buddy who won the 3060 got a b450 motherboard. He runs Intel. Lol

Stuck

[fair moon]

ur buddy lucky af

[vital pivot]

He’s only bought a few items over the years so it’s good he won

[fair moon]

ye

i havent started buying yet so thats good

just got into pcs

[hybrid kettle]

Yeah if you get a mobo you can either try to sell it, or build a budget system and put old gpu in it and flip it

[hearty minnow]

i think ill just build a nice little system for my little brother

[spare relic]

https://tenor.com/view/bob-ross-paint-painting-happy-clouds-gif-6059866

happy little system

[fair moon]

[rancid juniper]

[fair moon]

[rancid juniper]

[fair moon]

[rancid juniper]

ik

but for regular price

[fair moon]

ye

retail price

[rancid juniper]

which is better then buying it of of someone for like 1k

[fair moon]

true

[slim vessel]

The shuffle is all borked today. The text had the wrong time est, 3/4 of the images are wrong...

[tender mulch]

F5 refresh

Looks fine from my end

Or maybe mobile?

[slim vessel]

Yea, it was a fresh load, i had to relogin. Maybe mobile

[rancid juniper]

i have a question when the shuffle starts do i mark everything and just hope that i get one or do i only mark the ones i perfer

[tender mulch]

Just mark the ones you want

Or can afford

[rancid juniper]

ok thx

[slim vessel]

That still won't fix the text saying 11 pst / 8pm est

[tender mulch]

Are you on mobile tho?

Might be a mobile issue

[slim vessel]

Text message

Sms

[tender mulch]

Ah

[slim vessel]

A Newegg Shuffle begins at 10:00 AM P.T / 08:00 PM E.T. today. Enter here and GL! https://newegg.io/f05e2aa

[tender mulch]

Eh, someone oopsied the SMS then

[slim vessel]

Yea, the mobile app is just borked for the shuffle

[heady turtle]

Yes

That's a fine looking 5950x

[vital pivot]

Yeah. I made the mistake of Twitter and Newegg shuffle

lol salty people came out of the woodwork when I posted about not buying the 3090 combo I won.

Btw. My brother has the 3060 and he made about $150 his 1st month

Yeah. My brother hasn’t paid me for the card yet. So I’m mining with it till he does. lol

[heady turtle]

They just salty cuz they didn't get one and at msrp lol

It's a great way to basically pay back most or all or make profit off your card tbh

1 gpu =10 thousand gpus duhh basic maths

[tender mulch]

My 3070 was paid off with the sale of my 2060 lol

[heady turtle]

Okay well not everyone had 2060s to sell like you vintage X)

Gpus have never been used only for gaming anyway, eg video editing

[hoary temple]

What would be a good price for a 1660 ti rn ?

[supple socket]

200-300

[eternal blade]

Is a 2070 good

[hoary temple]

Saw one for 450 it’s kinda high

[supple socket]

actually 300-400 would be ok

[supple socket]

for what

[eternal blade]

Gaming

[supple socket]

yeah

wait for how mcuh

[eternal blade]

wym

I see different prices everywhere

[supple socket]

get one for 300-500

[hoary temple]

Is a 2060 good for $550 ?

Too high no ?

[eternal blade]

I found a 3070 for 500

[supple socket]

really

[hoary temple]

Bruh

[eternal blade]

Yeah

[supple socket]

read the desc

[eternal blade]

Idk when they gonna restock tho

[supple socket]

oh

well that is their msrp

yeah

whats the site?

[eternal blade]

It’s Best Buy

[supple socket]

its oos

out of stock

[eternal blade]

Yeah dk when they gonna restock tho

I have a micro center near me

[supple socket]

bb drops every few weeks

[eternal blade]

Might go on June

[supple socket]

you should go there

[hoary temple]

Bestbuy never restocks where I’m at

[hybrid kettle]

Mando said drop today but unless it’s this afternoon then it was wrong

[eternal blade]

I want to at least get a 2070 super or higher

[heady turtle]

300 350 would be realistic but not 400 not worth at that price

[eternal blade]

With a 3700x or i7 9700k

[supple socket]

yeah

[tender mulch]

2000 series have been doscontinued since last july

[heady turtle]

No that's 3060/3060 ti territory

[eternal blade]

Really why?

[heady turtle]

100% a scam

[eternal blade]

Best Buy is a scam?

[tender mulch]

Its best buy lol

Not a scam

Founders edition 499

[heady turtle]

Ohh well anything in stock at 500 is

Yeah i saw someone said best buy after reply

[heady turtle]

Do you need 8 cores if not i5 11400 and b560 mobo

[eternal blade]

Yeah I want 8 cores on it

I don’t want to upgrade it for a while as well

[heady turtle]

Why 8 cores

If you just want to game you only need 6

Nvenc

Yeah that's why I'm asking lol

But if you're getting a 8 core cpu get a i7 10700 or Ryzen 5 5800x

[eternal blade]

I want to do stream and game on the same Pc

[heady turtle]

Not a 9700k or 3700x

[normal hawk]

Nah, get one of the 8 core haswell cpu's

[heady turtle]

If you getting an nvidia gpu you will be better off with an i5 11400

Remember you gotta buy a cooler too

[eternal blade]

Yeah I’m getting an nzxt cooler

[heady turtle]

Don't

[eternal blade]

Let me just show you my part picker list give me a min

[heady turtle]

Arctic liquid ii or ek aio if you want rgb

[normal hawk]

O.o just judge all my life choices then 😤

[supple socket]

HAHAHAHHA

[heady turtle]

Nzxt coolers perf worse and cost more

[normal hawk]

Nah i didn't do nzxt

I did...worse

[eternal blade]

What about Corsair

[heady turtle]

Ohh okay

[heady turtle]

Arctic liquid ii or ek

[hybrid kettle]

Still very mediocre and bad for the price

[eternal blade]

Ok

[hybrid kettle]

Or lian li galahad

[bold siren]

does newegg do the lottery for graphics cards in canada?

[heady turtle]

Yes but other 2 cheaper

[normal hawk]

Cooler master 120mm AIO for an SFF case?

[heady turtle]

No

Never 120mm aio

[normal hawk]

Too late

[heady turtle]

Cri

[normal hawk]

Only thing that fits

[hybrid kettle]

Sff cases usually fit 240mm

Sometimes 280

[heady turtle]

Or a nh u9s

[eternal blade]

What size for an nzxt h510 elite?

[hybrid kettle]

510 elite is bad

[heady turtle]

Get a p360a instead

[normal hawk]

The one I bought is 120mm for the AIO

[tender mulch]

For what CPU?

[hybrid kettle]

What case

[tender mulch]

120mm AIO can't cool much TBH

[hybrid kettle]

Yeah aio are seen as like overpowered coolers but they really aren’t if you get a bad one or one that can’t handle it

Yeah and water cooling performs much better with much better airflow anyways

[heady turtle]

They're just made for like 800$ builds tbh but better off with a p360a or something

Also you can only put 120mm in h510

[normal hawk]

Phanteks evolv shift 2.

This will be a front room PC with either a 3600 or the 3700x i have if the temps aren't too bad

[hybrid kettle]

Amd

If you already have then it’s fine tho

But buying a new one

[normal hawk]

Fite me, Intel itx mobo's are too expensive

[heady turtle]

The noctua low profile cooler would probs do better tbf

[heady turtle]

Trueeee

[hybrid kettle]

B560 itx from asrock

150

I know it’s asrock but still

[normal hawk]

I want to overclock

[hybrid kettle]

Oc on a 120mm aio

[normal hawk]

Ye

[tender mulch]

Yeah

[heady turtle]

120mm aio oc lol that will perform worse than a gammaxx 400 probs :/

[tender mulch]

120MM AIO is about equal to the stock Wraith cooler AMD provides

[normal hawk]

Yea, will probably use the 3600 in my brother's pc.

Since he's buying/trading for the prebuilt - the 3080

[heady turtle]

Just use pbo tbh rather than manual oc especially in sff with 120mm rad the boosting will help desk with the bad cooling a tiny bit

[normal hawk]

I'll figure it out when it happens. If it explodes I'll handle it lol

[heady turtle]

Lol just put a gigabyte psu in it while you're at it X)

[median sequoia]

What’s a good AIO that’s affordable

[tender mulch]

Arctic freezer II 240mm

[median sequoia]

Ok

[normal hawk]

Nah i got a sff Corsair PSU

[hoary temple]

Any tips on how to get a 3060 or 3070 ?

[tender mulch]

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

[median sequoia]

Shuffle is prolly your best bet if you don’t want to pay scalper prices

[heady turtle]

Or ek non rgb it's like 20$ cheaper iirc

[normal hawk]

But bad news, i didn't buy the coolermaster 120mm AIO. 😢 I bought the one from NZXT @heady turtle

[hybrid kettle]

Smh

[heady turtle]

Can you return?

[hybrid kettle]

Could of bought Arctic freezer ii 120mm

Are you sure that case doesn’t support 240mm

[normal hawk]

No

[normal hawk]

Yes. The reviews said it only sorta supports a 120mm

[heady turtle]

Damm :/

[normal hawk]

Eh, it was only 60$

[woeful perch]

gotta love the bundles in the shuffles

lol

[hoary temple]

We all know who ever wins just gonna keep the gpu and sell the other stuff on offerup or sum xD

[quartz nexus]

around 20ish shuffles no win yet

[woeful perch]

yep

lol

[rancid plume]

I want to get my hands on one of those gigabyte psus in shuffle, I hear they really light up the room

[hoary temple]

I just want a gpu I have a urge to get a 2060 for $550 if I can’t get a 3060 or 3070 soon

[normal hawk]

Don't give in

[heady turtle]

No don't pay 550 for a 300$ gpu that's 2.5 years old

[normal hawk]

Just buy a prebuilt and sell the rest of it or somethin

[hoary temple]

Yeah I’m just getting impatient lmao

[heady turtle]

Also that's optimistic pricing for a 2060

[hoary temple]

Send me the vid if you do

It’s a ticking bomb lmao

[livid idol]

I might do that too once I get one that isn't DOA

[empty jetty]

are there any good gpus i might be able to find for around 400 dollars or do i just have to wait until this weirdness is over

[hot folio]

You might be able to find an rx480 if you hunt

[heady turtle]

3060 or 3060 ti if you're lucky hunting

[burnt forge]

does anyone know why used 980 ti's and 980s are so under purchased?

as the 980 ti is still a decent gpu and goes for 380 - 400 on ebay

[lone pond]

i might have gotten a 3060 on amazon but theyre prob gonna cancel the order lol

[burnt forge]

that sucks, I feel you, I have had a 3070 in my cart 4 times, but never got one

[lone pond]

few days of trying to insta checkout

then its like order recieved on day 2 of every single notification lmao

got lucky

anyone got a 30 series card

if it goes through that is

[livid idol]

That's still a ripoff for a card discontinued so long ago (about 6 years) that underperforms compared to a similar priced new card

[lone pond]

true true @lone pond

[burnt forge]

actually a lot of people

[lone pond]

i have a 1660 super rn

[livid idol]

I have 2 😎

[lone pond]

damn lucky

i have a 1660

[livid idol]

Neither of which I actually wanted lol

[tender mulch]

No buying or selling here

[lone pond]

how

Oh ight

[burnt forge]

if you're talking about a 980 ti, it isn't that bad of a deal, it gets pretty damn good gaming performance'

[heady turtle]

Got a 3070

[livid idol]

I had a 2070 already, so the 3060 I found isn't an upgrade on that, and the 3090 I got from shuffle was overkill and overpriced

[burnt forge]

yeah, the supply issue is actually in demand, not supply, amd and nvidia are producing more then ever

[heady turtle]

Ehh it has mone of the features as a new card and will perform about 10% less I'd say also old so very little resell value 2 years down the line

[lone pond]

Yeah it's the bots who buy them instantly

yeah

its ridiculous

[burnt forge]

yeah, but the price is worth it with the stock issues

if you wanted to get a gpu now

[lone pond]

or buy a prebuilt

tbh at this point

[burnt forge]

and the 980 is an ever better price

it's like 100 for a used 4 gig, and they are very usable

[livid idol]

True but... I still had to buy the 3060 also

The 2070 could make up the 3060 but the 3090 is out of pocket

[burnt forge]

playable fps in every game on userbenchmark for only 100 dollars on max, it really is an incredible deal

[livid idol]

So I'm mining to make up the cost differential lol

[heady turtle]

You could get a 3060/3060 ti id you're lucky for the same price and will have way better resell value while having feature like dlss rtx and the nvenc endoder for streaming

[heady turtle]

That's user benchmark isn't it :/

[burnt forge]

yes

[heady turtle]

Unreliable and biased

[heady turtle]

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/singleCompare.php used this

[burnt forge]

true, but if it gets anywhere near that performance for 100 dollars

[fair moon]

the shuffle ended

gl to all of u

[heady turtle]

980 tis are going for like 300 or 400, i sold my 960 equivalent for €170 so about 220$ ish

[fair moon]

does newegg ship worldwide

[livid idol]

Yes

[burnt forge]

I am talking more about 980s

[fair moon]

oo

[heady turtle]

Not with the shuffle tho

[fair moon]

oof

[dreamy dragon]

choppa#8628 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[heady turtle]

Us only

[livid idol]

Well they mostly do, there's a few excluded countries (and no shuffle like he said)

[fair moon]

looks like ill just sell the gpu if i win

[heady turtle]

There's no way it's cheaper to buy a 980 than a 960/970

[burnt forge]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324601601973?hash=item4b93c35fb5:g:fU8AAOSwPMFgjv3n

You won't get it because they won't ship it to you lol so how would you sell it lol

[fair moon]

idk

[burnt forge]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324609028471?hash=item4b9434b177:g:Y4wAAOSwf51glG0J

If you entered the shuffle from outside the us you arent eligible.

[fair moon]

i came in tho

[heady turtle]

They are bids

[burnt forge]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/124713095026?epid=220561868&hash=item1d097acf72:g:eVMAAOSwGwpglHZa

[fair moon]

i have relatives in the us and canada tho so its fine

they can hold it for me

[livid idol]

Yeah it'll disqualify you if the billing adress isn't a US address

[tender mulch]

Heh.

[burnt forge]

yes, but with enough listings you could prob get it for 100 - 150 dollars

[tender mulch]

Doesnt work that way but ok.

[heady turtle]

Look at the sold tab you'll see what they actually selling for

[heady turtle]

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=gtx+980+ti&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1 380$ for a 980

Between 300 and 500

[burnt forge]

ahh, nvm then

[burnt forge]

still not that bad of a deal though with the current stock shortages

[heady turtle]

Exactly

[heady turtle]

Ehhhhh it's an okay desperate card but gets its asked kicked by a 3060 tbh

[burnt forge]

yeah, but if you want a gpu now, it's better then like a 1050

[heady turtle]

Same performance as a 1660 super and that is more power efficient and has the better nvenc encoder too

Acc 1660 super beats it

[burnt forge]

1660 supers are going for way more though

100-200 more

[heady turtle]

You're paying 400-500$ ish for a 1660 non super basically

2060s go for 700$ ish sooo

[burnt forge]

and 500-600 for a 1660 super

it's still a worthwhile deal

[heady turtle]

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=1660&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1 400-500 but okay

And they're supers which beat the 980

[burnt forge]

I'm looking at it, it's 500 - 550 maybe

[burnt forge]

non-super 400-500

[heady turtle]

Yeah still

Same nvenc encoder in the 20 and 30 series cards and more /same perf is worth imo

[burnt forge]

the compute and nvenc performance isn't worth the 100-150 dollars extra for most people

[heady turtle]

It's 0-100$ extra but yeah :/

[burnt forge]

I'm looking at it, much more 100-150, but ok

[heady turtle]

The 980s were selling around 400 lol

[burnt forge]

I'm pretty sure that's how much 980 ti's were for and that is more 300-400

only like the kingpin ones get up to 500

[heady turtle]

And that's converted to euro so multiply that number by 1.2

[burnt forge]

I'm looking from the US, and nothing really gets that high

[heady turtle]

That's the us link ebay app just auto converts, i literally clicked the link i sent you

[heady turtle]

This one

And sort used so you don't end up with dead cards or just heatsinks

[burnt forge]

the majority are <400

[heady turtle]

Look qt the sold tab

[burnt forge]

I am in the sold tab

[heady turtle]

You can't go off ongoing bid pricing

Ohh okay

Wth you should see exactly what i see tho

[burnt forge]

but it now

[heady turtle]

That's 400$

[burnt forge]

yeah, but buy it now is usually at the upper end

[heady turtle]

Whatever floats your goat my guy

[vital pivot]

Heh

Someone knows eBay and someone doesn’t.

[lavish otter]

Upper end of bad hewhewhew

'S actually a rather decent 1080p and, depending on the game, an okay 1440p card now

Dunno if I'd pay 400 for it, but to each their own I guess

[karmic crag]

nowadays people have lost all sense due to desperation

i've seen 1650s go for 400+.

[heady turtle]

Yup

[cerulean wadi]

really?

[cerulean wadi]

best buy near me is selling one for 200

[tender mulch]

really

[karmic crag]

not the worst price i've ever seen

[tender mulch]

That's not much above MSRP depending on the card

Base is $160, more for AIB's

[cerulean wadi]

its a 1660 not a 1650

mb

[karmic crag]

oh wow

[tender mulch]

Oh

That's actually good

[karmic crag]

alright price then actually

[tender mulch]

regular MSRP

[heady turtle]

If you need a card get that tbh

[eternal blade]

Whats a good mobo with WiFi and Bluetooth and?

Amd*

That’s white

Nevermind black

[vital pivot]

Anything but asrock

Ok honestly. You need to reference the CPU you have/want and then budget.

[cerulean wadi]

i have a 3090

but

i might just get it bcs its a low price then

[heady turtle]

Oh well then i think you'll be okay without lol

Asus prime with a wifi pcie card or nzxt n7 @eternal blade

[cerulean wadi]

🤷‍♀️

[empty jetty]

does best buy have cards for sale inside the store

[heady turtle]

Not 3000 series

Unless you get really lucky and someone returned one that they got online

[empty jetty]

a 3000 series would be nice but at this point id like anything

[heady turtle]

I believe you can still get any stock they have of discontinued 2k and 16xx cards if they have them but they seem to not really because they been discontinued for almost a year

[livid idol]

Check local computer stores, some might have 1660 supers or something in stock if they don't have 3000s

[woeful perch]

sure if you want a gt 710

[bitter ferry]

Does anyone have any clue as to when nVidia will have ANY 3000 series cards in stores? There hasn't been 1 store listed on their site that has the cards, Newegg included. Has Newegg heard any news as to when they might be available again?

[empty jetty]

theres this really small computer store near where i live im gonna call them and see if they got anything

[drowsy kiln]

Your looking at 10-12 months for stable supply. Best Buy restocks every other weeks usually.

[bitter ferry]

BB near me hasn't had any in months.

😦

[woeful perch]

when was the last best buy restock?

[bitter ferry]

I can only imagine that it's the damned miners that's killing the supply.

[empty jetty]

obv i don’t expect them to have like 30 series cards but maybe i can find something to get me off integrated while i wait

[eternal blade]

3700x

[eternal blade]

For and?

Amd*

[drowsy kiln]

Current estimate is May 10th iirc

[woeful perch]

ok

cool

[drowsy kiln]

They do online drops to my knowledge so your not going to see any in-store.

[heady turtle]

yes

either that or gigabyte vision

but thats expensie

expensive

[livid idol]

False. Estimates I've seen are miners get around 5-10% of new inventory. People just need a scapegoat to blame.

[bitter ferry]

Guess I'll just hope the cryto miners are done buying up the stock so that we can get a hold of them for our regular computers.

[drowsy kiln]

As Fal'Cie just said. Not miners sadly, it's more scalpers and people boting for the cards that take the majority of stock.

[livid idol]

Scalpers are a symptom of the same problem tbh

[bitter ferry]

So they're holding onto them?

[livid idol]

They've always been around, they move from one market to another finding the stuff that's in highest demand

[drowsy kiln]

No, Scalpers buy for the intention to sell again for well more than MSRP.

[livid idol]

The main problem is more people than ever need PCs due to working/school from home

Coupled with Covid issues

[drowsy kiln]

True, there are a lot of variables in play it's not just one group of people.

[bitter ferry]

Must be on the DW because all the stores I've checked all have said "sold out" for months.

[livid idol]

I do wish the scalpers would go back to shoes and purses still...

[drowsy kiln]

Yea... would be nice

[drowsy kiln]

Just gotta watch for drops; they happen daily usually just gotta know when they are coming. There are a fair few discord servers that post if and a few 24/7 live-streams that go on outlining current stock.

[bitter ferry]

I don't know how much longer my GeForce 660 will hold out. I've had it for about 10 years now but at least it still works 🙂

[livid idol]

I've been refurbishing some old GPUs for friends, currently replacing a fan on a 1050ti and reviving a 750ti from the dead

[bitter ferry]

Nice

[livid idol]

(both are spoken for don't ask)

[drowsy kiln]

Yea. I've been buying RX 400/500 series and some GTX 900 series recently and using then in systems to sell for a small profit.

While not the best cards can find some great deals on them, got 4x XFX RX 570s coming next week for $115 each so I'll take it.

[cedar flume]

There's no point in mining alone now either

lol

[odd scroll]

No, that's not the biggest reason. Crypto boom and electric vehicles are the biggest reason why GPUs are hard to find

if ethereum wasn't at all time highs rn there would be plenty more GPUs

but it is a GPU intensive coin to mine and people are obsessed with crypto thanks to bs hype

[tender mulch]

[flat bridge]

again its because the high demand more than anything

new cars

[tender mulch]

Not like PC demand didn't skyrocket 26% or anything XD

[flat bridge]

and the fact Nvidia didnt take into account demand

[tender mulch]

because people stuck at home, working from home, schooling from home

[flat bridge]

expecially when they catered towards crypto

thts what these cards were made to do so its not cryptos fault

just covid tings

[odd scroll]

assuming there was no pandemic, there would still be a shortage is what I'm saying

obviously not as severe but still

[odd scroll]

that is NOT what they were made to do

Nvidia literally tried to prevent people from mining with the 3060s but accidentally released drivers to enable the mining

[heady turtle]

Just because your tesla can run cyberpunk doesn't mean every other car does lol

[odd scroll]

I don't have a car lol

[flat bridge]

sorry to bring u bad news but thts not gona stop miners from getting theur hands on 30series cards lol

regardless of the driver

[odd scroll]

the GPUs should be able to detect mining and shut off or prevent the mining if there are multiple GPUs running at the same time on the same computer

[heady turtle]

gpus dont go into cars but silicon does but its not the same stuff that would go into gpu anyway lol

[odd scroll]

I'm sure if Nvidia wanted they could make a feature like that

[flat bridge]

no

lol

tht would be illegal

in so many ways

LMFAO

[odd scroll]

illegal? how

it's their own product they are selling

[flat bridge]

cause its something u paid for

[odd scroll]

they would warn people before selling future products

no

[flat bridge]

ITS URS

[odd scroll]

it would be for new ones

[flat bridge]

they made it for consumers

[livid idol]

Nvidia did this exactly, and then oopsie drivers got released with an unlock

[odd scroll]

yeah exactly

I'm sure they are working on something else

[heady turtle]

It's all of the teslas that have gpus ofc

[livid idol]

The new model cards are supposed to have the same lock

[flat bridge]

i just think taking it out on the miners is a bit much

[livid idol]

And possibly newly produced older models via firmware

[flat bridge]

they dont even make up tht much of the reason why there is no inventory

i dont even have a card myself and i havent blamed anyone

i do hate scalpers tho

[odd scroll]

yes they do lol

[livid idol]

So do we

[tender mulch]

nah, miners are a small portion

[livid idol]

Scalpers need to go back to shoes or tickets

[flat bridge]

5 to 10 percent

lol

is not much

at all

[tender mulch]

Unless you wanna count all the people that bought a single card and are mining on them like us

[lavish otter]

Most of the reason there is no inventory is because everyone and their uncle wants a new computer or new components while there is a chip shortage

[heady turtle]

So like 90% of ppl with 3k gpus lol

Ik that number is way more than it acc is lol btw

[livid idol]

I've in a weird place where I now have 3, so I'm mining on them

Wasn't my original plan but hey

[flat bridge]

3 of the same?

[livid idol]

No, 2070, 3060, and 3090

[flat bridge]

oh nice

honestly at this point if i dont get one this coming restock

[odd scroll]

where are you getting that number

[flat bridge]

prolly just gonna buy one the drop after and get a 3090 lol

[livid idol]

Mostly YouTubers with connections with the companies, since they don't publish those numbers

[flat bridge]

mhm

alot of big techie youtubers

[odd scroll]

linus did yesterday

there was a contest, but he only had like 20

[livid idol]

Yeah a few people in this server got the ltt drop

[heady turtle]

They amount of just miners is fairly small just individual demand skyrocketed because you can mine on side to basically get free upgrade, the perf increase was a lot bigger than the 2k cards so people were more likely to upgrade as the perf jumps this gen where huge especially perf v price

We know lol

[odd scroll]

yeah these cards are great lol

I have a dying 2015 macbook pro and am building my first PC so really want any 30 series

[livid idol]

I would be quite happy if I could tweet "I'm a VAG and gaming quite happily"

[heady turtle]

A lot of ppl are in the same situation as you tbh

[heady turtle]

Ngl first time i used the vag acronym i wasn't sure if it would get picked up by fhe bot lil

[odd scroll]

what is VAG

[flat bridge]

the son has cancer now and must get the ddr2 treatment of 1gb to cure them

[flat bridge]

women are temporary come on

gaming is forever

[gleaming swallow]

what im saying is i cant spend a hole lot more then what i have ... reason id like to at least get a 55 or 5600 xt

im still running a r9 gpu

[flint vigil]

Personally, I find the 5000 series CPUs a bit overrated. Though, I didn't get one.

[gleaming swallow]

besides linus can any one give me any ideas ? please

[flint vigil]

I had the choice to upgrade my 3700X to a 5600X or 3900X, guess which route I went 😛

[flat bridge]

intel

[heady turtle]

Rx 5500xt from r9 really is hardly an upgrade tbh

[flint vigil]

intelligence. You are correct. I bought the 3900X

[heady turtle]

Shuffle or ebay

[odd scroll]

evga 1650 super on best buy now, $240

[livid idol]

5600X beats the 3900X in gaming

[odd scroll]

store pickup only

[gleaming swallow]

ya im not indulging the scalpers

[flint vigil]

Well should have noted that for my work, extra cores beats the need to game xP

[livid idol]

Yeah important detail right there lol

[gleaming swallow]

alright thanks any way

[flint vigil]

Apparently python tests reallyyyyy like threads

[livid idol]

Any kind of compiling likes threads

[flint vigil]

but regardless, think I'd still go higher end last gen rather than the new gen. Haven't read the whole convo but to my understanding @gleaming swallow doesn't wanna spend a leg?

LOL just realised that I clicked right above the cpus-mobo and I'm in the GPU channel.

[odd scroll]

how bad are 1660 Supers

[flint vigil]

well, as everything else. The answer is....it depends?

[spare relic]

he answer is no

[flint vigil]

Hmm, I'd answer with cheezbrgr

[drowsy kiln]

GTX 1660 Supers are great tbh; right now not really cause they are like $550 usually so... might as well jump up to a GTX 1070ti or something at that point.

[spare relic]

980Ti about equiv

[odd scroll]

I can get one for $345

is it worth that

[keen nacelle]

Im using 70% of my 3060 ti playing valorant... that aint right, is it?

1080p 144hz

[flint vigil]

uncapped?

[keen nacelle]

idk default settings

60fps

[flint vigil]

That's close to what a retailer sells in the UK converted to GBP

[livid idol]

Nah that's fine

[flint vigil]

hmmm, think you are fine, 3D is 3D

[keen nacelle]

alr thanks

[flint vigil]

point is, is it rendering fast? Or staggering and skipping frames?

If not, just means it's doing its job

[keen nacelle]

i mean its working but im streaming and it drops frames every s often

[livid idol]

Well yeah you're streaming lol

[flint vigil]

hmmm...sure it's not your internet as well though?

It's a 3060 Ti (though I never touched one)

[keen nacelle]

yeah in task manager im hitting 100% gpu usage

[livid idol]

Task manager isn't good for measuring usage on the gpu

[flint vigil]

hw monitor ftw

[keen nacelle]

ill open msi

[livid idol]

It doesn't take clocks into account

Hwinfo is best

[keen nacelle]

alr ill check it out, ty

[eternal blade]

What about an asus motherboard

If they are good

Idk anything about PCs

[lone pond]

generally asus boards are good

[livid idol]

Some are good, some bad. Same as every other brand.

[heady turtle]

Yeah but as long as you avoid as rock unless b560 and el cheapo you'll be fin

[lone pond]

I have tuf z490 and it's great

[heady turtle]

Ik as rock worse Intel but b560 boards like to go out of stock a lot do

So

[lone pond]

yeah some asrock boards are not bad tho but cheap ones are eww

I guess buying cheap mobo is just mistake people mostly does

[heady turtle]

Or way too expensive

[silver mantle]

what is the max i should pay for a used 1060, gimme a price for a 3gb and a price for a 6gb

[spare relic]

180 240 mayb?

idk but I wouldn't pay that much

[heady turtle]

Just don't get a 3gb 1060 performs worse than a 1050 ti

So either 1060 6gb or 1050 ti should be your choices

[spare relic]

970

[green harness]

So I just landed the 3080 via the shuffle (🥳 🥳 ), anyone know if people have been able to get bundled items taken off of shuffle orders? I don't need a monitor

[heady turtle]

Nice

[heady turtle]

Nope

You take the monitor or don't get 3080

[green harness]

Grrr Gigabyte and Newegg

[heady turtle]

Did they bundle m27q?

Cuz if so that would have pretty good resale value

Also great monitor

[green harness]

Well I have an m27q 😆

[sullen panther]

I got bundled with a 200 dollar mobo I don't want at all, on ebay they sell it for 150ish so meh

It was a 3070

[green harness]

They bundled this: AORUS CV27Q 27" QHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 1 ms 165 Hz (Max.) HDMI, DisplayPort, USB FreeSync (AMD Adaptive Sync) Curved Gaming Monitor

[sullen panther]

I wanted to get a 3080 mainly but 3070 is close enough, can't really pick or choose now a days

Idk how I got this lucky for my 3060ti but now a 3070 magically happened so

[odd scroll]

just get them both and sell the monitor

[green harness]

Well I already bought it, just gotta figure out a plan now

[hot folio]

congrats brauer

Still waiting another day ;-;

[green harness]

Yeah, I'd sell it under msrp if I need to, but don't tell any buyers that 😉

[proud sequoia]

Why has my 1050ti has tripled in value since i bought it lol

[sullen panther]

gpu shortages

[spare relic]

go back in time

buy 1050ti

go forward in time

sell

repeat

[sullen panther]

that would be nice

[spare relic]

ad nauseum

just gotta get 1.21 jigawatts

[solemn panther]

what time did u enter the shuffle?

[green harness]

A few minutes after it opened. Maybe 1:15pm edt

[hot folio]

;-;

I entered exactly at 1

[green harness]

I don't think it's first come first serve, it's like a raffle/lottery

[heady turtle]

Correct

[hot folio]

Yeah I know

[solemn panther]

DAMNIT

ok thx

[green harness]

I was convinced I'd never get anything through the shuffle and then I did, so you never know

At the very least one less competitor for you all. GL!

[heady turtle]

Grats brauer

[solemn panther]

yeah congrats
