[solemn panther]

the battle continues for the rest of us

[green harness]

FWIW the offer to buy came at 7:07pm edt, so I'd check every two hours after they first start sending at 5pm edt

[empty jetty]

i kind of wanted a 30 series card but now i just want any decent card i can get 😭😭

[spare relic]

gtx 970

250 bucks

[heady turtle]

[solemn panther]

hmmm

[spare relic]

actually haven't checkedd recently

is it still 250 or is it like 300 now

[empty jetty]

doesnt the 970 suck buttcheeks?

[heady turtle]

No bout the same as a 1060 6gb

[empty jetty]

oh idk what im thinking of then

[spare relic]

90% of the universe runs on something equivalent to a 1060 6gb

that's why your vision looks okay when you're young and then you get older and it gets all blurry

[empty jetty]

id ideally want anything from like a 1660 super to a 2070 but they’re all out of stock or too expensive

[heady turtle]

That's because they've been discontinued for almost a year

[spare relic]

yea

and there's nothing lower than a 3060 new

starting to look like they're not making 50s anymore

and double trouble, intel doesn't look like it wants to make i3s anymore

[heady turtle]

Really? Where'd you see that

[spare relic]

they only made 10th gen refresh i3s

no 11th gen

which I guess is technically new i3s tbf but not on rocket lake

[heady turtle]

Well 11th gen was 💩 anyway apart form i5s wouldn't worry unless there's no i3 12 gens

[spare relic]

the top end was bad, a rocket lake i3 actually might've been pretty good

[heady turtle]

probably terribly priced tbh

[spare relic]

ofc

nothing will ever be nicely priced until markets crash hard :)

[heady turtle]

Well i just mean the i3 refreshes are probs around 10400 price knowing intel

[spare relic]

just about I think so

[karmic crag]

where have you been for the past 6 months

same

[plush shale]

My advice is keep trying with the newegg shuffles bc that's how I got my 3070

From what i've seen prices aren't too bad

[fallen tulip]

I have obtained an Gigabyte Aorus Masters 3070 for $950

Check r/HardwareSwap daily, some good souls are out there selling cards near MSRP once in a while, and better yet, could be local

For context: MSRP for the card is $800, but the guy paid $48 in shipping and taxes

So he only made a total of $103 by selling me the card for $950

[odd scroll]

how many shuffles did you do before you got one?

[fallen tulip]

I got lucky and bought a card off of someone on Reddit

[torpid gust]

3300x rtx 2060 or 10400f rx 5600 xt?

[eternal blade]

I would go with second option

Intel isn’t bad but amd is better

[coarse spindle]

I might be having a problem

So i just bought a used 1050, and it immediately passed fur mark and I downloaded new drivers. Problem is it doesn’t work well in game.

GTAv is a MESS, with the game being unplayable. If you stand still for long enough it’s normal but if not it is random colors and shapes everywhere

And other games are missing textures ECT. What should I do?

[little saffron]

lower game settings

[plush shale]

only like four or five

[odd scroll]

lol

[spare relic]

no way

free gpu

[odd scroll]

The average time a chip factory takes to make the first chips from breaking ground is 2 years

I think given the demand and resources poured into ending this it will probably be a little faster. Maybe 1.5 years

[magic wing]

What u on about

[wicked ferry]

christ I just want a 1650 super, some budget level parts, but oh no, everyone needs to crash the entire stupid gpu market

is it honestly that much to ask for?

[magic wing]

yes

[wicked ferry]

What makes me angry is when I see stuff on etsy or something and they have a massive mining rig with 7 3090s

the scum of the earth

[young quarry]

Amd card vs Nvidia for games i understand that Nvidia has better ray tracing but how important will that be in future games?

[wicked ferry]

that’s not the problem

I know more about nvidia cards than I do amd

I understand that amd is a very good company and they’re really good at what they do, but I don’t know enough about their gpus to actually say I’d buy one myself

in all fairness amd is just now gaining momentum, whereas nvidia has been around for a long time and is rooted as a good gpu company in any good techie’s brain, and just a good company in general

[young quarry]

Same reason I am hesitant I know Nvidia more but if amd just as good increase my chances at getting any gpu.

[wicked ferry]

and the same level graphics on the gpu just at a lower price

[magic wing]

define future

like how far into the future

[young quarry]

Let's just talk about games in development as can only speculate about games further in the future.

[magic wing]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VGwHoSrIEU

[young quarry]

Granted I don't pay much attention to games in development.

[magic wing]

Its a comparison byt he answers your question in parts

watch the whole thing

[wicked ferry]

always gotta grab an ltt video smh

why’s linus gotta be so good at his job?

[young quarry]

Guess I'll watch the whole video watched parts of it already today.

[wicked ferry]

@magic wing has linus done a video on amd cards that you know of?

I’m looking to actually learn more on those

[magic wing]

related to?

[wicked ferry]

what do you mean?

[magic wing]

What aspect of amd cards

[wicked ferry]

like a review or something

just an overall

[magic wing]

I mean you can search it on yt

LTT rx6000 review

[wicked ferry]

I was just wondering

thanks

[magic wing]

Theres 3 vids about them

so better to search on yt

[wicked ferry]

ok

hopefully I can get a better understanding of amd cards

[young quarry]

Will Ray tracing replace rasterization for rendering in games or do you think will have both or rasterization in games for next 10 or so years?

[wicked ferry]

Ight, I’m gonna go find some kind of caffeine because it’s way too early rn, and I really shouldn’t be awake, peace peace.

thanks for the help and the good conversation

[young quarry]

Ok morning to you.

[magic wing]

raster quality might drop as ray tracing gets commonplace but idk whether it might drop entirely

again im not an expert tho

[young quarry]

Ok thats what I was thinking but like you I am no expert.

[heady turtle]

Afaik the way RT works is that it's a filter basically after the raster step in the process so that whole process would need to be retooled in the game /engine , not saying it's not possible but I'd imagine won't happen for a while anyway

[magic wing]

Look at the video I sent

Leenus explains well

[heady turtle]

Yeah i watched it already

[magic wing]

IIRC ray tracing is an alternative to raster from what he said

in the vid

[heady turtle]

Ohh i can't remember watched it when it came out

[magic wing]

Ray tracing is just way easier to implement in games than raster tho

so as rt gpus become commonplace, devs might stop focusing as much on raster

[heady turtle]

Hmm yeah i guess

[limber flax]

Raster requires a lot of prebaking to make lighting look realistic

Rtx enables developers to simply place the light source and focus on other aspects of the game

So it saves a lot of time, and like crai said it will become more commonplace with time

[heady turtle]

Hmmm fair

[vital oriole]

I fully support RT

It's advanced af, but ofc new tech sooo

RT has been a thing, but no one bothered to step in as boldly as Nvidia did recently

It's fair people sees it as gimmick atm, cause it hasn't matured yet

[magic wing]

I mean ray tracing isnt always better than raster tbh

Just easier to implement

in 99% of cases you wont notice the difference between raster and rt

[heady turtle]

Rtx Minecraft looks exactly the same to me tbh

Idk if it was just a bad example map or what but

[magic wing]

minecraft is the only game that looks incredibly different tbh

[drowsy kiln]

Must have been bad map

[heady turtle]

Guess so

Because it looked exactly the same bar a tiny bit of shadows but meh

Also windows 10 app store Minecraft is just a janky interface tbh

[drowsy kiln]

Yea, Windows 10 is a lot more janky

[magic wing]

thats the only version of minecraft that has RT support tho

java doesnt

[heady turtle]

Ik lol but still janky

Clearly not made for desktop with the settings and stuff

[vital oriole]

I like RT because well, easier for devs to implement

Performance is bleh, because it is early

I would totally live with rt if perf impact isn't so high

So games will take less time to develop graphics wise

[heady stratus]

Accurate, My 3090 can barely sustain 60 FPS throughout the new Metro Exodus Enhanced with RT

[vital oriole]

At what res, may I ask?

[heady turtle]

Props 1440p

With a 3090

[median sequoia]

Is there a shuffle today?

[charred remnant]

I think while RT may not look appreciably better yet it's probably because the technology is still in it's infancy and because of current performance implications and cards with rt not being commonplace significant amounts of time need to go into raster anyways

[normal hawk]

Probably

Mon-sat i think @median sequoia

[charred remnant]

Given a few years I'd be willing to bet it will be much more standard and probably have much higher visual fidelity

[vital oriole]

Exactly

RT is taking huge steps into the right way

Especially how ambitious Nvidia is now

rn it's hella useful for blender rendering or smth

Optix is p gud

[heady turtle]

Probs atm I don't think it's practical as unless you have a card that costs 1k+ you need to use dlss which is a crutch to make rt perf drops bearable but it's not really the same as you're rendering less pixels that's why it works better lol

[vital oriole]

It isn't practical right now, I agree

But in the next few years, possibly

[heady turtle]

Until you can play rt on a xx60 card without dlss i won't really consider it practical lol

[vital oriole]

Best to have it around rather than doing nothing and never letting it mature lel

[heady turtle]

100% yes

You won't even get 1650s at mc because they've been discontinued for almost a year at this point

Only place is ebay pretty much

If you're lucky at best buy /mc you can get a 3060 evga xc3 black or gigabyte eagle for 350ish

[vital oriole]

I wish rona situation dies down at least somewhat

GPU shortage is hitting so hard due to surge in demand

[prime niche]

Gtx 1650 super for 225? Good or bad?

[green harness]

Unlikely unless they're not using dlss. My 2080super can maintain a 60+ with rtx on and maxed out at 1440p

[heady turtle]

They most likely aren't using dlss

And tbh dlss bit of an unfair comparison

[vital oriole]

225

eef

Well, dlss is a good enough substitute atm

It helps with rt's perf weakness

[heady turtle]

Yes but make sure it's not a scam

[normal hawk]

I'm correct in assuming this is a fake 1050 to right? Lol

[vital oriole]

yes

fake as heck

[normal hawk]

It screams GTS 450 to me

[vital oriole]

shouldn't even have hdmi

i meant vga

pascal dropped vga

[normal hawk]

Yeah, my LP one has DVI and 2 HDMI ports i think

Lol

[lone pond]

I ordered it already to see what is it 😂

and it processed looks like I'm getting something lol 😂

[green harness]

I mean dlss 2.0 is pretty good, so especially if they're running at 4k why not turn it on?

[hybrid kettle]

maybe they meant to puy 1434 dollars instead of 14.34

[magic wing]

That will be more to do with newer apis than ray tracing...

[magic wing]

huh?

[vital oriole]

I meant the nvidia optix rendering engine

It uses rt and it speeds up rendering speed up to insane levels

[magic wing]

Fake

no 1650 has that cooling shroud iirc

[prime niche]

Gotcha

[magic wing]

An application framework for achieving optimal ray tracing performance on the GPU. It provides a simple, recursive, and flexible pipeline for accelerating ray tracing algorithms. Bring the power of NVIDIA GPUs to your ray tracing applications with programmable intersection, ray generation, and shading.

[lone pond]

its probably cable couse seller all selling cables and stuff

[magic wing]

Thats what the nvidia page says

[vital oriole]

Yes

[charred remnant]

I mean I would imagine much the way raster graphics have evolved over time so will rt. Yes newer api's will contribute but I would imagine given enough time and when rt hardware support becomes more widespread we'll see significant improvements.

[vital oriole]

But it speeds up blender rendering sooo much

[hybrid kettle]

hope you get a good cable

[vital oriole]

Compared to other rendering engines in blender

[magic wing]

RT cant really get much better than what it is rn for a while tbh. Just faster

[lone pond]

I ordered it to see what is it lmao

[heady turtle]

Seems legit

[magic wing]

The real fidelity improvement will be newer apis

[magic wing]

Source?

[vital oriole]

You can uh, research on google?

And I've seen many people who uses the stuff, showed the proof even

[lone pond]

yeah 😂

[heady turtle]

I'm not saying don't use dlss but you're not playing at 4k you're playing at 1440p upscaled for example

[flint vigil]

yesssss

[charred remnant]

Oh and I just realized one thing complete adoption of rt could really help with is game size since you don't need a million shadow maps and stuff. You pretty much just need reflection mapping and rt does the rest.

[magic wing]

From what ive seen, it makes the ray tracing parts of the render fast. no effect on anything else

[magic wing]

This true

[vital oriole]

yes

It speeds up the rt

Which is a nice feature

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=blender-281-optix&num=1

[charred remnant]

I mean that's not unreasonable when one of the longest parts of a render is the rt passes

[magic wing]

I mean only in edge cases where you need to render out a scene with a buch of light sources... Not universal speed increase

[heady turtle]

Good afternoon ;-;

[vital oriole]

ik

But it's good to have

[heady turtle]

Haoi

[magic wing]

This is crap

[vital oriole]

Crap? wha

[heady turtle]

Yes i am a deck

[magic wing]

They comparing different generations of nvidia cards. Not the option on and the option off

[vital oriole]

wut

Lemme show you

[magic wing]

it doesnt take more than 3 braincells to realise newer gen gonna be faster than old gen

[vital oriole]

Look

[heady turtle]

Dw my gf always types it as payo or auto corrected to that lol

[magic wing]

again. different cards being compared

that tells us jack about how helpfull the feature is

[vital oriole]

There's literally the purple bar in addition to the cards that has optix

[heady turtle]

The purple bar is optix on red off lol

[vital oriole]

💰💰

[vital oriole]

moar pics

[magic wing]

any info about 3000 series tho?

[vital oriole]

Nah, this benchmark is not new

But 3000 series should be better

[magic wing]

Interesting stuff tho

They do be streamlining rt

[vital oriole]

ye

[magic wing]

I imagine amd should be coming up with a feature like this soon enough as well

[vital oriole]

I doubt they will anytime soon, sadly

[magic wing]

6000 series does have RT cores

its very easily possible

[vital oriole]

Yeah, but AMD doesn't seem to wanna work on that yet

They focus more in games

[magic wing]

They havent released a statement. Doesnt mean they arent working on it

[vital oriole]

I know

Hence I said 'doesn't seem'

And well, yeah.. even in normal stuff, cuda has it better than AMD's stuff

As in rendering without optix

[normal hawk]

It's a 1050 ti but i think you're right about the shroud as well lol. We're looking at the VGA output though lol

[tender mulch]

Thats a fake 1050ti

Dont buy it

Report that to newegg.

[median sequoia]

Shuffle today:

https://newegg.io/8eca98d

[normal hawk]

How

[heady turtle]

Why did you shorten the shuffle link lol

[median sequoia]

Text message notification link

[magic wing]

Yeah mistyped

[heady turtle]

Ahh i see lol

[tender mulch]

How? Its a 650 witj a different cooler on it

Seaech google for 1050ti acam and compare coolers.......

Youll know it when you see it.

[heady turtle]

I thought it was a gts 450 no?

[summer condor]

Thats not a great shuffle

No 3070 or 3080

[normal hawk]

No i mean how do I report it @tender mulch we already established it's fake

[normal hawk]

Why are the amd cards so expensive

1000$ for just a 6800? When that's supposed to be the price of the 6900xt.

[tender mulch]

Ah, send an email to customer support or dm NeweggService.

[heady turtle]

Same thing happened to the nvidia cards too

[normal hawk]

Nvidia cards aren't that much over i don't think.

6900xt is going for 2600$, 6800 XT are 1.4k+ lol.

The Nvidia cards are cheaper

[heady turtle]

3070s go for 1.4k easily on ebay if that's what you're talking about

[normal hawk]

I mean in the shuffles

[heady turtle]

Ohh idk bout the shuffle pricing that much

[covert forge]

Bro that’s insane

[heady turtle]

Yup

[covert forge]

A lil over double for some 3070s

[heady turtle]

Well you gotta remember 6800xts are better at raster than 3080 iirc

[covert forge]

And arguably the best looking 3070 the ftw ultra is 680$

[heady turtle]

Almsot tripple, msrp is 500

They're also decent gaming cards too

[normal hawk]

But they lack a DLSS or NVENC alternative

[covert forge]

Scalpers and botters are worse than trash

[normal hawk]

And they don't perform as well in Unreal or Blender

[heady turtle]

Doesn't matter to some people and dlss is only in a few games as of now tbh

[normal hawk]

True

[hot folio]

Only reason I went for the 3060s are the micro ATX boards lmao

[heady turtle]

I'd assume they're looking to pay to a willing miner?

[covert forge]

Bro I saw a group of 3060s getting sold for like 150,000

The bidders kept on going higher and higher

Insane

[heady turtle]

Damm

[covert forge]

But the ppl that are buying it are also to blame

[hot folio]

Isnt ethereum going to disable mining soon?

[heady turtle]

Technically yes, they're moving to proof of stake in like 2-4 years or so so you'll need to have like x amount of ether given to Ethereum to prove you're a trusted miner basically but still mine just not in the same way afaik

Thought it wasn't til 2023 at earliest?

[empty jetty]

i hope so

[heady turtle]

Mining are like 5-10% off the demand and most miners are individuals just making money while not gaming with their pc so

[empty jetty]

anything helps 🤷‍♂️

[heady turtle]

Not really, just means instead of me for example paying back the money and basically getting a free 3070 from an r9 380, and then people not being able to afford the cards at the inflated prices

[raw ingot]

can u guys help me finding a backplate for my Zotac Gaming RTX 2080 ti AMP! edition

[fallen tulip]

so buying a 3070 for $950 and I registered its warranty is considered a good deal right?

[fossil talon]

1 GPU mining gang for fun

[supple socket]

well thats -500 the market value

[hybrid kettle]

No lol market value is 1300

[supple socket]

-400

or -350

[fallen tulip]

MSRP for my card was $799 at Best Buy

So it’s more like -150

The guy I bought it from gave me the original Best Buy receipt

[heady turtle]

market value is ebay ie what they are going for and you can buy now pretty much

[fallen tulip]

Ok I would say I got a pretty good deal all things considered

[vital pivot]

Yeah.

[heady turtle]

Newegg shuffle is monday-sat most days

[eternal blade]

What are good mobo for a 3700x with built in WiFi and Bluetooth

Is*

[heady turtle]

Would not recommend buying a 3700x in 2021 tbh but a b550 of some sort should do nicely

[eternal blade]

Ok

Whats a good psu?

750w

[hardy pond]

you get a psu based on your power needs. Most systems will probably use under 750w. Depends on your build though. pcpartpicker will help you estimate the wattage you might need

[eternal blade]

Ok

[eternal blade]

What’s a good brand to buy a mobo from

I’m trying to get on for 150 or 130

And I’m getting the Corsair airflow 4000d case is that good?

[heady turtle]

Enermax revolution df 850w is cheaper rn

[heady turtle]

Btw that only calculates base clocks so as soon as something boosts that power number goes out the window lol

[hardy pond]

I assumed it was mostly understood that you're supposed to get some wattage overhead

yeah obviously pcpartpicker isn't going to be the final watt value but it's a good baseline. Prevents you from buying a psu that's too low basically

[heady turtle]

Some people take it too literally and will put a 3080 and 5900x on a 500w psu because it's enough according to the wattage calc

[hardy pond]

I always go for several 100w overhead

[heady turtle]

Yeah i get where you coming from

[hardy pond]

I didn't know people were buying psu's at the exact wattage pcpartpicker was calculating

[heady turtle]

Some people would

[vital oriole]

^

[lyric plinth]

I got a psu at 500W because then it’s relatively future proof to my budget

[vital oriole]

500w isn't future proof at all in most circumstances tbh

[heady turtle]

They said then it was so I'm assuming at least 6 years ago lol

[rigid urchin]

6900 xt gigabyte aorus worth $2300?

Think I pass

[vital oriole]

999

[lone pond]

a 3070 would be better at that price

[rigid urchin]

@lone pond got the shuffle for the 6900xt aorus w/ aorus mb. Which I guess I can flip mb for a loss. Got 30 mins to decide

[lone pond]

get it and sell it perhaps

or keep it

it aint a bad card especially with such a gpu shortage around

[rigid urchin]

2720 with taxes. Mb about 400 which I don't want but it's basically a loot box

[vital oriole]

3070 better than 6900xt in perf?

Since when?

[fossil talon]

^^^

Rather replace with a 3080/3090

But if you can get a card, go for it

No regrets, full send

[vital oriole]

ye

[flat bridge]

uh wut

[spare relic]

not high enough

pump it

[flat bridge]

LOL

[spare relic]

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-yolo-pumping-dumping-trading-gif-14820136

[rigid urchin]

Seems high

Like they're cheaper on ebay

Sure they don't have the fancy lighting, but honestly I don't care about the lighting

[fossil talon]

I mean for a good price near MSRP, full send.

Newegg tends to be pricier than BB in most cases

[vital oriole]

This one is a bundle

It has a mobo

[rigid urchin]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4249133

that's what it is

[vital oriole]

Just join shuffle

Also outta stock

[rigid urchin]

yeah i got selected for that on shuffle-- it runs in 20 mins. I think i pass

too much for shiny lights

I won't select all nxt time =p

if there is a next time

[vital oriole]

Ah

Well, there's always next

[lone pond]

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3070-vs-AMD-RX-6900-XT/4083vs4091

you were right

my bad

[fossil talon]

Userbenchmark

But yes 6900XT destroys 3070

[vital oriole]

^

[lone pond]

userbenchmark not reliable?

damn i never knew

[rigid urchin]

6900 < 3080 right?

perf

[vital oriole]

it's better than 3080

[karmic crag]

3080's probably the better buy though

but in terms of raw performance the 6900 surpasses it

[rigid urchin]

Ha my computer is 5 minute slow on the clock 🙂 too late now anyway

[swift cliff]

anyone have recommendations for 3090 strix thermal pad replacements as far as amount and thickness goes? Can't find much on youtube

Waiting for 40 series or whatever comes next (if something comes for that matter) lol

😏

[fossil talon]

Yee

[spare relic]

nice

yea

I got a 970 oem

it's above a 1650 and below a 1650 super

decent 1080p card

[vital oriole]

so basically an rx 570 perf

[empty jetty]

where did you get it?

[nocturne vault]

my graphic card is producing a weird image on my screen, damn

[magic wing]

Busted mem

[heady turtle]

Rear back your memory overclock

[drowsy kiln]

Not a big deal if it cant be fixed; I've got a EVGA GTX 970 (1x 8 pin and 1x 6 pin) this is paired with an FX 8350 and AM3+ Motuerboard.

I can turn on the system all the fans spin but no display signal. Troubleshooting steps?

Ofc I can test in personal system but anything prior to doing so.

[heady turtle]

Clear cmos

[drowsy kiln]

👍

Still no display. Motherboard is a ASRock 970 extreme3 if thats helpful at all.

[heady turtle]

Did you clear cmos the battery way or by the pins?

Also try reseating ram

[drowsy kiln]

Battery. I can do pins if needed.

Nothing after reseating. Tried single-chanel with both sticks as well.

[supple jay]

i wanna upgrade from a gtx 980 what card should i get that is like 250$ at MSRP

[drowsy kiln]

MSRP isn't a thing anymore, do you have a $250 budget for a card?

[magic wing]

msrp graphics cards arent a thhing anymore

I wold keep the 980 for a while longer

[supple jay]

no but in my country they are still at MSRP

[magic wing]

till u can add to ur budget

[magic wing]

where u live?

[supple jay]

morocco

[spare relic]

with 250 you might be able to get an uhhhhh gtx 970 :^)

upgrades :^)))

[drowsy kiln]

GTX 970s are like $185; but yea no upgrade that's a downgrade

[supple jay]

what about a gtx 1650s?

its like 240$

[drowsy kiln]

Where do you live that cards can be bought for MSRP?

[spare relic]

that's also a worthless buy lmao

[supple jay]

well its not at exact MSRP they add like 50$

[drowsy kiln]

Yes, but where? Nowhere to my knowledge can you get cards for anywhere near MSRP

[spare relic]

msrp should be 160

[supple jay]

morocco i already said it

[drowsy kiln]

Missed that

[supple jay]

just a card pls

[spare relic]

https://tenor.com/view/step-up-step-to-the-side-singing-performance-performing-gif-17524716

[supple jay]

nice its 1% more imma get LOL

what about a gtx 1660?

[drowsy kiln]

MSRP of a 1660 Super is $230; but then again like only ~10% performance difference

[supple jay]

any card that can run at 144fps with ryzen 3 3100

[magic wing]

which game tho lol

[drowsy kiln]

What games?

[supple jay]

fortnite minecraft rocket league

[drowsy kiln]

Yea, a GTX 980 can run 144fps in Roblox but that's not really hard to run

[spare relic]

minesweeper

[magic wing]

even the 3060 struggles to hit that in a few games lul

like cybrpunk

[supple jay]

bro my grandma's pc can do that lol

[magic wing]

Then take her graphics card

problem solved

[supple jay]

it got like some old crappy intel graphics

[drowsy kiln]

Exactly. It's not demanding.

Fortnite on maxed settings with a GTX 1660 Super (shaders turned down) I got around 110 fps iirc

[magic wing]

1080 im sure

[supple jay]

no no i play competetive i dont need high settings

[magic wing]

not 1440

[drowsy kiln]

Playing 1080p ofc. When I benchmark stuff always 1080p since not a lot of people that I'm selling computers to will be using 1440p

[supple jay]

lets say i wanna play at like 900p low settings what card can do that with ryzen 3 3100

[spare relic]

if I had a 980 I would probably go for a 2060s or a 5700, if they existed

[magic wing]

the one you have right now

[supple jay]

and i also wanna do some game dev

[magic wing]

you can do game dev on any card

[supple jay]

no

[magic wing]

cpu and ram more important for dev coding

[supple jay]

i made a game i stopped cause it runs at like at 10 fps

i havent completed it yet

[spare relic]

damn

optimize lmfao

don't use million tri assets

[magic wing]

yep

[drowsy kiln]

Yea. Thats just optimization

[magic wing]

also what ram u have for that 3100

[spare relic]

yanderedev toothbrush

[supple jay]

16 gb

[magic wing]

speed

and 1 16gb stick or 2 8gb sticks

[supple jay]

dual channel 3200mhz

[magic wing]

in slot 2 and 4?

[supple jay]

i just said dual channel so 2 8gb sticks

[drowsy kiln]

Yes but on the mobo

[magic wing]

in slot 2 and 4?

[drowsy kiln]

Are they next to each other

[supple jay]

oh ye in 2 and 4

there is a one empty slot between them

[spare relic]

then you're fine

just get good

[supple jay]

dont judge me ok im new

[drowsy kiln]

Yea. GTX 980 will easily hit 144fps in fortnite on low settings

[supple jay]

and idk how to optimize my game

[supple jay]

k thx

[magic wing]

Then dont dev till you know how to imo

[drowsy kiln]

My old RX 580 used to get over 144 on med-high settings 1080p

[magic wing]

thats a bad 580

my 570 does that

[supple jay]

so imma spend that money on monitor and keyboard and mouse

[spare relic]

dw man you'll learn new things with time :)

I myself do not make games

[magic wing]

but then again my 570 does 1430 clock and 2200 mem

[drowsy kiln]

Yea I was doing base clocks didn't OC

[magic wing]

base 570 clocks are 926-1168 and 1750 core and mem

[drowsy kiln]

Way you worded it sounded like you OCed

[supple jay]

well im just at the first stage of game dev when i reach like a high level of game dev imma need RTX that stage i will propabally reach when the shortage is over

[drowsy kiln]

Unless your coding the next Cyberpunk don't really need an RTX card to be totally honest. Once RT becomes the standard then yea but a GTX 980 is a great card.

[magic wing]

I did oc

[supple jay]

k

im only using unity for now when UE5 comes out imma need a better card

[magic wing]

Also u really need to work hard on it tbh

[supple jay]

work hard on what?

[magic wing]

getting good at dev work

[drowsy kiln]

Coding; it's a lot of work to become a good game dev. I've always been interested in coding never got around to gave dev tho

[supple jay]

ik coding

[magic wing]

Then why u using unity?

[supple jay]

but map design and graphics oh sure not

unity is easier

[magic wing]

Much better scripts are available

C++ is way better

[supple jay]

C++ is harder

[magic wing]

So then work on it

[supple jay]

C# is easy

[drowsy kiln]

Yes, but 99% of games will be coded using C++

[magic wing]

yee

[drowsy kiln]

Look up your favorite games bet they were coded in C++ since it's a lot more optimized iirc

[supple jay]

ye but those are huge companies there are like 20 programers im just an indie game dev

btw the reason why C# is easier than C++ is because C++ you have to manual take care of memory management, C# does that automaticaly

[magic wing]

You never gonna reach there if you dont push urself to learn harder stuff

also you might need more time than a studio

that doesnt mean its impossible

[supple jay]

and i need more people

[magic wing]

Nope

[drowsy kiln]

Yes it's easier sure. But manual control of stuff is so much better for game dev tbf

[magic wing]

not necessary

you can do just as good a job as 20 ppl

just takes more time

[drowsy kiln]

Probs a better one tbh. One person one idea vs 20 people one idea

[magic wing]

yee

[drowsy kiln]

Everyone would have their own way of doing things

[supple jay]

ik its possible but i dont have only game dev in my life i also have school and we are trying to move out

[magic wing]

So it will take more time...

still not impossible

[supple jay]

ik ik like more than a year to make a complete game

ik ik

well thx for help cya soon when i need help

[drowsy kiln]

Update: Card is dead to my knowledge.

Tested with a EVGA GTX 970 SC and system works perfectly. Upon trying to use the EVGA GTX 970 SSC the system shows no display signal.

[heady turtle]

Oof :/

[drowsy kiln]

Yea; bound to happen eventually tho. I've bought enough computer parts at this point that eventually it would have happened.

[steady briar]

Does anybody know good and semy cheap graphics cards and where to buy them?
I need one for my pc

[spare relic]

what are you looking for

settings/framerates

[karmic crag]

what's your budget and your target settings/fps

"cheap" depends on what you're looking for

[steady briar]

Whole pc setup 1000€

[hybrid kettle]

3060/3060ti

Preferably 3060ti

[dense panther]

or a 6700xt

[steady briar]

Oke thx🍞 👍

[normal hawk]

I haven't seen a 6700xt for less than 700$ at microcenter or on Newegg in the shuffles

[green harness]

AMD direct buy is the way to get them for around the announced launch price ($480 iirc)

[normal hawk]

Ah

On Thursdays?

[green harness]

Usually. Iirc they have also dropped on a Friday once but I don't track it really

[normal hawk]

I bought a prebuilt to get a 3080 so I'm not looking for a 6700xt lol

[heady turtle]

6700xt even if direct from amd is 480$ which is unlikely to fit in a 1000$ totoal budget tbh but you can get 3060s for about 80-100$ less or 3060 ti fe if you're lucky

[dense panther]

true but a 3060 at 400$ is not worth it

[heady turtle]

Yes it is in this market

[heady turtle]

When 3060 tis are going for 600 from retailers 400 for a 3060 aint too shabby

[dense panther]

i mean its the price of a 3060ti and it has way more perf

[tender mulch]

6700XT??

[heady turtle]

480$

80 more

[dense panther]

no rtx 3060

[heady turtle]

And you realistically aint gonna get a 3060 ti for 400

[dense panther]

i got one

[heady turtle]

Unless you're very lucky at best buy

[tender mulch]

best Buy only FE drop

[dense panther]

and i also got a rtx 3060 at mrsp

[heady turtle]

Yeah but you can't account on everyone getting the few fe cards

[dense panther]

i got evga

not fe

[heady turtle]

Well lucky you but I'm being realistic over here

Majority aren't msrp

[tender mulch]

I got a 3070 for 559, doesn't mean you should count on it lol

[dense panther]

true

but evga queue is one of the best to get a card at msrp

[karmic crag]

honestly it's not that bad nowadays

[dense panther]

if you want the rumoured 3080ti or 3070ti at msrp evga will be the best way

you just need to register when it launch

[tender mulch]

The queue that never ends LOL....and I haven't received my buy email yet, got mine in a BB drop

[heady turtle]

It's not, mb back in the very start lol

[dense panther]

you need to register when it launch

[heady turtle]

And how are you supposed to expect people that are building now to travel back in time and sign up for that queue XD

[dense panther]

3070ti and 3080ti are expected to launch this month

[heady turtle]

That definitely gonna fit in someone getting 3060/3060 tis budget lol

[dense panther]

so you can get those with evga queue

[heady turtle]

Acc sources say they were pushed back

[heady turtle]

Not something who has a 1k total budget and is trying to get a 3060/ti lol

[dense panther]

i know im saying for people trying to get like 3080 or 3090 3070ti or 3080ti will be a solid option

also evga will surely launch a card close to msrp

[tender mulch]

Maybe but we gotta wait until June to find out for 3080TI

[heady turtle]

And there's not even 3070 ti solid leaks yet

[fierce shoal]

Anyone has any idea about when graphics cards are going to get back in stocks?

[heady turtle]

At earliest q4 2022 most likely

According to?

[fierce shoal]

Well that’s more like a fact because it is like buying a ps5

[heady turtle]

Yup

[abstract marlin]

It won’t be relative easy to get a graphics card until the chip shortage is over and q4 2022 is a rough estimate on when the shortage might get better

[heady turtle]

Pretty much

[verbal basin]

you won't get a gpu as long as mining is still this profitable guys lol

don't get your hopes up

[hybrid kettle]

Mining isn’t 90% of the problem

Mining maybe is 5%-10% of the problem

90% is demand

[regal quail]

5-10% is still pretty big tho

[dense panther]

yes and the only store when they sell card at msrp is bestbuy and amd store

evga queue also

true

not in canada tho

😢

newegg is a joke now with rtx 3060 bundle at 1200$ cad

and also rtx 3090 at 4k

[livid idol]

Canada computers is the microcenter of the North

[dense panther]

they have almost no stock

they drop card 2 by 2

[livid idol]

Well yeah so does everyone else, no one has stock

[dense panther]

i least they are not only dropping bundle that no one wants

[tender mulch]

Shuffle has had a few non-bundled GPU's lately

They starting to listen

[dense panther]

newegg are selling bundle that are almost finish pc

case power supply cpu ram and the gpu

[tender mulch]

But the bundles may also be forced by the AIB since all the bundles are brand same

[dense panther]

no i heard they where force buy distributor

rosewill psu

[heady turtle]

Yeah seems like they're putting most of all of their gpu stock into prebuilts

[livid idol]

At least rosewill has power supplies that don't explode, unlike gigabyte

[dense panther]

true

[heady turtle]

Gigabyte pg psu even worse

Shhh

Potoato pot-a-toe

[livid idol]

Gp-pgm is the name lol

[dense panther]

850w psu for 100$ scary

[livid idol]

Who came up with that

[dense panther]

i wouldn't put that with my 3080

[livid idol]

The one that came with my gpu was DOA. I'll make them send me new ones until their stock is gone and they can't bundle.

[dense panther]

some lucky people where able to get a 3070 without anything cuz the bundle item was out stock

[heady turtle]

So we where both right X)

[heady turtle]

Revolution df is 850w and about 115 so not too far away

[empty jetty]

Whats the best way to get a graphics card nowadays do i just try to get lucky on ebay or can i do something else?

[livid idol]

Pure luck, or if you're in the US camp out at a microcenter

[heady turtle]

Ebay is only scalpers or scams btw

[empty jetty]

wdym by queues?

[heady turtle]

Evga waiting list

Or amd.com as well acc

[lone pond]

[covert forge]

What would be good wattage for a 3080?

[odd scroll]

For a PSU?

[covert forge]

Yep

[odd scroll]

750W

Nvidia takes into account other components you may have that draw power so the recommendations have some wiggle room

[covert forge]

Alr thx

[brisk flame]

[hybrid kettle]

I would go 850w revo df just cause it’s such a good deal

[covert forge]

Aight thx

[vernal terrace]

where do i find graphics cards with directx 11?

[magic wing]

Anything released in the past 5 years should have dx11 support

[heady turtle]

Twas just incase they didn't know lol

[heady turtle]

Cheaper than 750w atm too

[heady turtle]

More tbh dx11 is old

[hollow raft]

Hi All

just got two "new" rx 590 8gb

but they don't work

soem dude soldered things of one of the cards, not sure why

and the other card should be new

got them for free

and if I can repair them it would be great

after installing the card, the bios doesn't recognize it and the fans don't turn on

[heady turtle]

Ehh anyone who was giving away working gpus for free atm must be crazy tbh

[hollow raft]

what could be the problem

[hollow raft]

exactly, but they're not working at the moment

[heady turtle]

Well a lot of modern cards fans don't turn on unless they get hot

[hollow raft]

looking if its posible to fix

or maybe my board isn't compatible?

I have a Biostar b75mu3+

[hybrid kettle]

Does it have pcie slot

And a uefi bios

[hollow raft]

yes

[hybrid kettle]

Then it should be compatible afaik

[hollow raft]

so why wouldn't bios recognize the card?

I have a 800w power supply

I tested the power with another card (my current card) and it works (So PCIE slot and power shouldn't be a problem)

could he have accidently burned something on the gpu or something else and can it be repaired?

[hybrid kettle]

Not Too familiar with gpu repair and troubleshooting sorry

[hollow raft]

thanks @hybrid kettle

anyone anything?

[sullen panther]

Is the gpu dirty? @hollow raft

Might got some dust with iron in it or something that's shorting it

[heady turtle]

Dust wouldn't cause it not to power on just poor thermals

[coarse spindle]

I could use some help

my GPU is not very happy

[sullen panther]

Ummm the only thing that I can think of is to lower the core clocks and memory clocks as low as possible

On msi afterburner

And if it still does that then oof

[livid idol]

Check video cable, power, reseating pci slot, undo overclock or underclock the core. If that still doesn't help, then I'll lead everyone in a moment of silence in respect for the dead. If it's artifacting that badly even hardware repair might fail to help.

[elder sandal]

is the 3060 unlocked driver outdated yet

[livid idol]

No

It's still beta compared to mainstream version

[elder sandal]

alright, and its fine to use for gaming as well right

[livid idol]

Yeah

[elder sandal]

kk thanks

want to get the most out of this 3060 but its also my pc so i dont want to mess it up

[livid idol]

The absolute worst thing that happens is you need to Uninstall and reinstall the driver, not a big deal

[elder sandal]

true

[hollow raft]

no, its really clean. I really looks new. My first guess was that he didn't put power to the gpu. As I didn't pay for it, I don't think he would lie to me and he is a friend, so no reason to lie about it.

[orchid mauve]

what are 3090s retail ? 550?

[sullen panther]

i wish

[orchid mauve]

i cant remember what is it

[sullen panther]

i think the msrp was like 1500 dont remember

[fossil talon]

$1500 for FE

More for AIBs

[split elm]

Someone help pls.. my graphics card keeps cutting out when it’s under load.. everything is plugged in correctly, driver is update but I keep getting a black screen in and out while playing big games like RL and COD.. anyone else ever has a problem like this?

[sullen panther]

could be a psu issue, not supplying enough power

[split elm]

But it’s been working for weeks.. that’s what I thought too but why now

[proper karma]

random question but would a Sapphire HD6570 work well with a OEM 240 watt psu
I would only use it for light emulating

[vital oriole]

should be ok

[livid idol]

How old is the power supply? What power supply, gpu, and cpu?

[fossil swift]

If i underclock the rtx 3090 way low how much will temp decrease?

not sure im happy with 90 to 100C

[livid idol]

Dropping power limit is the best way to cut down on heat, how much depends on your model

[fossil swift]

could you give me an estimate

[livid idol]

Too many variables, you just have to test it yourself

[upper mural]

90 and 100c is is crazy hot for the gpu chip itself. But if its the memory your talking about then they say that is in spec

[livid idol]

90 is perfectly within operating range, 100 is toasty but just on the edge of throttling.

[outer blaze]

ramp TF out of your GPU and case fans @fossil swift

Might help a bit

[coarse spindle]

@livid idol well press F to pay respects to our fallen brother

Because i cant find a fix

However, the artifacts shouldn’t affect mining, right?

[ripe hazel]

I feel that ^ I'm tryna trade my 580 for a 5500xt lmao

People are selling them for like 500$ tho on fb 😂😂

Also everyone around me is selling their aorus x570 mobos but no msi ones ;-; sad day

[livid idol]

Only one way to find out. It really depends on where the issue is. If it's in a voltage regulator or the core it'll absolutely affect mining.

[marsh vapor]

So is it even worth it to buy a graphics card right now?

Ok I haven’t been around here much so sorry for asking that annoying repetitive question lol

I’ve had my eyes on 3070s and I have the money for it. I’m just not gunna pay extra when ik what they are actually worth.

U good xD I totally understand

[fossil talon]

Rommy trying not to flex the 3070 that was won from LTT VAG drop

I was close but not that close XD

[marsh vapor]

Ltt wha

Lol

Cool

[fossil talon]

Last drop was a html jumping game to verify as a gamer

[marsh vapor]

So you got really lucky?

[fossil talon]

Other drops were questionnaires

Man the 3070 FTW3 ultra is godly

Gg

I was rank #676 at the end

Lol I did too at the end

I was eating when the drop occured and was frantic at the whole process

[marsh vapor]

So you do random games or questionnaires on their website to get a chance at it.

And the better your performance the better your chance or just random?

[fossil talon]

Basically the faster you go through the game or questionaire, the sooner you are to getting the card

Theres a limited amount of cards and a huge queue after the verification process

[marsh vapor]

Lol

I probably wouldn’t have good luck with it. I’m not a hard core gamer either

[quartz nexus]

can i get a gpu

[heady turtle]

Read the rules bruh

[quartz nexus]

ha ha

i meant on shuffle

[spare relic]

Speech 100

[heady turtle]

Doubt 100

[karmic crag]

sure you "can"

but "will you?" is the real question

[forest oxide]

There a shot microcenter gets 3000 series in on a Monday?

[karmic crag]

how am i supposed to know

i have no clue where your local MC is or what their restock schedule looks like

[forest oxide]

Just wondering if it’s even a thing. Sorry I asked.

[karmic crag]

no problem i'm just bustin your chops

[karmic crag]

MC does semi-frequent drops so you might get lucky

[raven thunder]

around how many do they drop? I saw that video like 4 minutes after it came out and got to the link part somewhere between 8-10 minutes or smt but i didn't even decide to try cause i felt like i was too late

honestly not sure how early you have to be for the ltt drops

[green harness]

I'd assume very early given the size of their audience

[forest oxide]

Line to the side and back, maybe not today on the MC lineup lol

[raven thunder]

yea thats what i thought but you never know

[raven thunder]

just around how many they drop though

[fossil talon]

Probably at most 200 cards

[tender mulch]

@empty jetty not a chance. That listing will be removed in 1-2 hours

[empty jetty]

thats what i thought

[raven thunder]

kay

[twin forum]

Does Newegg ever restock new GPU's (30X0 NVidia or 6X00 AMD's) that are not part of the shuffle? I was looking back through their Twitter and they used to announce restocks but I haven't seen anything in a while.

[tender mulch]

No, they do not

It's all shuffle

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

[twin forum]

The fact that they also force all those cards in bundles with other crap is also pretty crappy. It really alienates all the customers that are trying to upgrade their GPU but have a complete system otherwise.

[tender mulch]

Eh, it's probably not newegg forcing the bundles

[twin forum]

Who would it be then? The bundles are not always the same brands, so I doubt its the manufacturers.

[green harness]

Distributors could be forcing them

Either way I wish the bundle I got was a gpu plus a crappy psu rather than that monitor

[hybrid kettle]

Let’s say that gigabyte has stock in Newegg warehouse that isn’t selling and they need to get rid of it to put in new stuff so they bundle it along with cards that people can’t get otherwise and make Newegg sell it bundled

[green harness]

I think what actually happens is distributors force companies to buy other parts (say shoddy PSUs) along with GPUs

[tender mulch]

GN did a video on it

[green harness]

Newegg may also create some bundles to move less attractive stock, but it makes a lot of sense for the bundle to originate when Newegg goes to buy the gpu

[tender mulch]

No 100% firm information but something like that

[heady turtle]

So did hw unboxed

[fluid vessel]

Ordered a gpu off of Newegg and it's in china right? Yeah that was the 16th of last month that's not what I'm mad about I'm pissed that it hasn't moved an inch last update was on the 3rd and it hasn't moved facilities

[heady turtle]

Ehh sounds like you bought a scalped gpu from china or fake, pls let it not be a fake 1050 ti

[fluid vessel]

It was a 1030 and it had good reviews

I'm just trying to get into pcs

[dreamy dragon]

SquidSacks#4500 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fluid vessel]

F

This crap with the graphics cards is stupid

[drowsy kiln]

Well a GT 1030 isn't gonna allow you to get into PCs sadly. Just slightly better if not the same as a modern iGPU

[fluid vessel]

It'll do its job it's my first pc man

And I'm broke as hell

[tender mulch]

If it's from China, it's not sold and shipped by Newegg

Third party seller

Kinda like Amazon has them

[fluid vessel]

I think it said it was milktea

[tender mulch]

Ye, try and find one a bit more local

[fluid vessel]

Lol if I got it thru Amazon I'd have it last month

[tender mulch]

Or sold and shipped by Amazon or Newegg

[fluid vessel]

Can I get a refund on it tho

[heady turtle]

Probs

[tender mulch]

IDK, DM NeweggService

They're Newegg EMployee and can help

[fluid vessel]

Cool thanks for the help guys

[tender mulch]

YW

[spare relic]

Maybe something like a GTX 950 would be a decent starter

eBay is where I look for older cards

[fluid vessel]

I'm gonna be honest I don't know a lot about specs for graphics cards

And a 1030 would run the games I wanted at a reasonable resolution

[drowsy kiln]

What games?

[fluid vessel]

mainly just tf2 and some indie games

Nothing like doom I have my ps4 for that

[drowsy kiln]

Fair. TF2 can be run on a toaster

[fluid vessel]

Yes

But it'll also run like all of my steam library I have a lot of old games

Well maybe not the modern tomb raiders lol

[drowsy kiln]

Yea tomb raider would be a no for a GT 1030. Think that needed a GTX 600 series or something but then again thats minimum not gonna be really playable on a 600 series

[vital oriole]

It can do tr.. at low settings

lel

Assuming the newest one

[fluid vessel]

Yeah but I also have all the tomb raiders on my ps4

[drowsy kiln]

Possible. Honestly thinking about it a GT 1030 might honestly be better than some 600 series

[vital oriole]

660 and 660ti are faster than 1030

650ti, nah, not really

[fluid vessel]

Yeah I'm just getting into this so I'm really not sure which are best but I do know my friend can still run AAA games on his 1050 ti

[spare relic]

1030 is an okay card

950 would put you in between for about the same price as a 1030 I think

[drowsy kiln]

Used to have a GT 1030 it worked just not a great experience over console to me.

[vital oriole]

tfw here with a 850m

[spare relic]

I have a 730

[vital oriole]

Possibly gonna have a 2060, but.. that's not gonna be my main

It's a miner lmao

[spare relic]

If my 730 can run some games nicely a 1030 can give more breathing room

Gonna farm some chia too

Right alongside eth or betterhash

[spare relic]

And a 970 can blow them all. Out of the water

[vital pivot]

Chia farming is a waste of thought

[fluid vessel]

My question is who thinks they can sell a 1030 for 300 dollars

Wtf

[spare relic]

950s are ~130 ebay

[fluid vessel]

Even I know if this card thing wasn't happening this card would be around maybe 100$

[vital pivot]

@vital oriole watch the last videos from derbaur

[opal trellis]

GPU Scalpers these days

Who do they think they area

[vital pivot]

He went into a deep dive on chia farming

[vital oriole]

it's called scarcity

also okie

imma watch him later

Also, I won't do chia on ssd ofc

It would kill em in no time

[vital pivot]

I suggest you watching the German version first. It’s always fun to feel like your getting cursed at by a guy with a mouth full of gravel

Yeah it would kill them in a week

[vital oriole]

I just don't think of chia as profitable atm, just wanna hold onto em for free

And Imma farm chia in pools, cause farming alone sucks

I need an opinion from someone that knows about MSRP. I bought a XFX Speedster MERC319 6700 XT for $979 plus tax. Is that a good price? Opinions on the card?

[magic wing]

absolutely horrible card at that price when it comes to talking about msrps

the 3060ti outperforms the 6700XT sometimes

[karmic crag]

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

shuffle's now open

[karmic crag]

nearly $1000 for a 6700xt is a bad price in my opinion

[flat bridge]

zzzzz

tht shuffle

[karmic crag]

yeah

lame shuffle today

[normal hawk]

Shuffle kinda sucks today

[calm crow]

Bad shuffle

[magic wing]

There is a 3070 and a 3080 tbf

and 2 6900XTs

[normal hawk]

6900xt for 1800$ and 2400$? I'll pass

Literally a 999$ card at MSRP

It's ridiculous that the amd cards continuously cost more than the RTX cards

[empty jetty]

I would be happy with a 2060 as my main card at this point this graphics card stuff is hard

[heady turtle]

Tbf the amd cards out perform nvidia in raster

[heady turtle]

Way more likely to get a 3060 tbh 20xx have been discontinued

[hot folio]

DLSS is really the only reason why Nvidia cards have greater FPS in some games imo

[normal hawk]

Tbf, the rtx cards outperform them in everything else at this point

[heady turtle]

You don't take dlss into consideration

[empty jetty]

really i would have thought 3060s would be rarer

i would be perfectly happy with a 3060

[heady turtle]

Well 2060 has to be used on ebay

[hot folio]

I wouldn’t really go for an original 20 series, in my experience a bunch of them had problems with stability and such

[empty jetty]

now the struggle is finding a 3060 thats anyway near msrp 🥲

[normal hawk]

Dlss, nvenc, better drivers, Tensor cores, etc. Better rendering on both Unreal and Blender. Better for gaming, streaming, and they end up being cheaper online compared to the 6000 series cards.

The 480$(msrp) 6700xt, literally is sold by stores for around twice that.

The 6900xt costing more or the same as a 3090 is sad too.

The reason I wanted one was cause for msrp it's performance isn't as bad.

[hot folio]

I wanted an AMD card originally but I needed the good ray tracing for rendering

[empty jetty]

whats the most likely way for me to get a 3060

[normal hawk]

Newegg shuffle

Or the gamergauntlet thing on LTT, or Evga's Queue

[lyric plinth]

Dude I’m happy with a 1650 super

[empty jetty]

when does the gamergauntlet thing happen or is it random

[heady turtle]

Random

You can also try getting lucky at a best buy drop

[heady turtle]

Yeah ik gaming not really but the rest yes, idk well msi are overpricing their rtx cards too but the rest idk

[hollow cargo]

jokes on you i got a 710

[lyric plinth]

I have a 1030 rn but my 1650 super comes in next Wednesday

[hollow cargo]

i got a 1650 super but i need a 6 pin and i have a 4 pin

so i sent it back

[winged pendant]

Right? Quite focusing on 3060/3070 and pump out some 3080s already.

[calm crow]

There’s been 3080s in the last few ones irc

[winged pendant]

Wayyyyyy more 3060s than 3080s, no doubt about it

People are buying them as place holders though. More powers to the manufacture

[calm crow]

Yeah. Also they had almost a 2 week period where there wasn’t any 3060s. Before hand

[vital pivot]

Uh what

[slim vessel]

nah, i want more RX cards and less RTX cards

[vital pivot]

/quote @hollow cargo ??

[lone pond]

[heady turtle]

[lone pond]

[heady turtle]

[swift lava]

[heady turtle]

Don't dm me your scam link

[flat bridge]

[swift lava]

I prefer amd cards for one thing

[heady turtle]

6900xt beats 3080

[flat bridge]

imagine

i wouldnt want a 3080

[swift lava]

I want to buy a Rx 5500 xt

[heady turtle]

You probs don't it's worse than a 1650 super iirc

[brave violet]

5500xt? you mean 6600XT?

[swift lava]

I do do

5500 xt

I do want to

I had a Rx 580

But I killed it

Now I have a 1050 ti

So I want to get a Rx 5500 xt cuz it's a bit better than rx 580

So I can have my rx 580 back in the form of a Rx 5500xt

[swift lava]

6600xt isn't out

[brave violet]

when it comes out or 6700

[swift lava]

Ok

Mby a 6700 xt whith my ryzen 2600

[brave violet]

[swift lava]

Ok

[brave violet]

[swift lava]

I don't want 5000

I want to play nier aumata definitive edition on high

Thats it

[brave violet]

k

[swift lava]

Ok

[brave violet]

🙂

[heady turtle]

You'd be better off with a 3060 ti/3070 not like you can use sam with your 2600 anyway

[swift lava]

I know

But i like and software better

[swift lava]

Wtf is sam

[heady turtle]
