graphics-cards

[hot folio]

Yeah pretty much

And they’re charging about 1600 for a build with an original 2060

[tiny spade]

i need some help, my cpu is sitting at 100% in destiny 2 while my gpu isnt going above 50%, but the vram usage is at max (8gb)

[livid idol]

What CPU
What GPU
What memory?

[tiny spade]

CPU: ryzen 3 3200g

GPU: Rx 580

[tender mulch]

Ah

[tiny spade]

Memory is 3200mz 16gb

well the memory is supposed to be 3200

but in task manager it says 2667

[cerulean rover]

xmp on?

[tiny spade]

idk what that is

[tender mulch]

Might be the motherboard

Some limit ram speed on AMD

[tiny spade]

is there a way i can check if mine does

[cerulean rover]

You could tell us the board

[tiny spade]

because it says that it supports 3200

[tender mulch]

what motherboard is it? if you don't know, grab CPU-Z

Well, it may not for that CPU. Some AMD boards are whack like Intel

[tiny spade]

msi A320-A pro max

is my board

[cerulean rover]

Should do 3200mhz fine

[tender mulch]

How old is the board?

[tiny spade]

i got it like 9 months ago

[tiny spade]

what does the OC mean next to the mhz

[cerulean rover]

technically oc

[tender mulch]

It should do 3200 mhz yeah with XMP

SLight chance it needs a BIOS update from some notes but eh

[tiny spade]

how do i do both of those things

[spare relic]

no way

he needs to get off the nets

[fossil talon]

Lmao

What an actual self entitled idiot

Instead of "b i * c * i * g," literally be proactive for searching for cards like you did

[spare relic]

be like me and accept minor success and not be rude and entitled

yea rommy gimme all you're 3090s

[heady turtle]

Yes screw you, also gib graphik card now i deserve

[normal hawk]

Never!

Microcenter has 4 6900xt's in stock. The other one is the toxic one from sapphire

Actually 5. They have the liquid devil as well from powercolor

[weak dune]

I picked up an RTX 2070 Super in 2019 for $499, now you can't get one for less than $1,000, what's wrong with the world today?

[drowsy kiln]

Chip shortages, pandemic, mining, scalping, etc. a lot of factors

[hot folio]

Are Saphire 6900xts good?

[timid narwhal]

its abut on par with 3090 for gaming without RTX

[graceful kite]

I bought a gtx 960 in 2018 (did a 2008 legacy build and the mobo didn’t have graphics out) for $77 off of an ebay bid. Based on neweggs own prices I could resell it for more than double that

[hot folio]

Which microcenter is that?

[normal hawk]

St Louis Park

[hot folio]

Shame ;-; no microcenters near me have anything good

Only thing they have are 6900xts for 2600

[normal hawk]

Ah lol

[karmic crag]

my MC just had a 399 evga 3060 in stock

[normal hawk]

Nice

[timid narwhal]

nature is healing

[heady turtle]

There was a 400 3060 in shuffle week ago too

[lethal pawn]

nice

[timid narwhal]

awesome, just in time for Nvidias LHR range of GPUs

[violet prawn]

nice

[heady turtle]

No not nice i want my gpu to have been mostly payed off :(

[charred remnant]

I'm sure other cryptos will take it's place, at a less profitable rate, i can't remember any of the names but ik before the limiter on the 3060 was broken people just mined other less popular crypto for similar profits

[lethal pawn]

what about chia

[heady turtle]

Ya raven and stuff but eth is just

[charred remnant]

Chia destroys your drives

[heady turtle]

Chia is farmed on drives and destroys them just as eco friendly (if not worse ) than regular gpu mined cryptos

[charred remnant]

So to my understanding chia is so much worse for the environment because unless you use like enterprise drives you're creating huge amounts of ewaste instead of using more electricity which could actually come from green sources like solar or wind

[lethal pawn]

ok

[heady turtle]

Yep lol

[lethal pawn]

but it's on drives not gpus tho

[charred remnant]

Yes but we don't want to create a ton of ewaste and destroy the planet

[lethal pawn]

oki

*ok

[heady turtle]

The drives get worn and die gpus don't

[magic wing]

3 weeks to kill an sn550 lol

[heady turtle]

Yike

[eternal lark]

Can't wait to use AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution on my M1 Macbook Air

[karmic crag]

3 weeks? jeez

[eternal lark]

So my understanding of the way it stakes, I mean, why use an SSD and not a giant HDD? long-term it's proof of time?

[tender mulch]

Your CPU also gets pounded

:/

[eternal lark]

That's not a problem if you keep it cool and have some extra computers laying around

[sonic vigil]

I've given up on a new video card for now... Spent the money on a new bike, bike accessories, and gifts for family. Minecraft will just be my gaming life now. I bought a server to host a super difficult minecraft world and everything 😄 Though... no shaders, because, no video card.... Even minecraft is best with a video card 😮

[graceful kite]

Tbh I’ve gotten back into mc, but I only have it for xbox. Should have gotten it for my laptop that has an rtx 2060 so I could play with shaders and such

[sonic vigil]

Indeed, I believe the xbox experience is quite simplified, mods make it a whole different game 😄

I guess I'll finally have to put the panels on my PC. Didn't want to do that til the card was installed.

Which really leaves my PC looking both empty; and dumb. There's a 14.9" LCD panel that's not lit up because I have nothing with which to drive it

[graceful kite]

Damn dude

[sonic vigil]

I considered going with an old card in honesty, I just couldn't justify spending more than a little on something I'd replace first opportunity I got. And as it stands now that opportunity is likely going to be over a year away.

[cerulean rover]

take it to dms for buying/selling ty

[tender mulch]

Or just don't

[graceful kite]

I was being sarcastic because honestly I don’t want to get rid of something if I can’t replace it atm

[tender mulch]

Ya

Replacing is the hard part

Sure, sell it for $200 but then what :/

[sonic vigil]

It's most annoying because this was my first time not building on a tight budget. I went pretty baller on my parts to be left with a powerful machine that can't do most of my needs because no video card

I mean I dropped almost 200$ just on stats panels

[tender mulch]

not here pls

Rule 9

[graceful kite]

Oh didn’t think that was applicable but alright, I’ll show them in dms

[tender mulch]

▶️ 9. No sweepstakes/giveaways, e-begging, trading or selling on this server.

[sonic vigil]

haha I get it, this place would explode and devolve if it became a hocking hub 😄

[tender mulch]

Well

[sonic vigil]

and ofcourse it's also a marketplace's server

[tender mulch]

It's a corporate Discord. Imagine if all that was going on, people would blame Newegg for things between members :/

[sonic vigil]

indeed

[tender mulch]

Ya

[graceful kite]

True

[karmic crag]

good choice king the gpu grind is not worth it

way too tedious and draining, better to wait a bit for the market to get better

[sonic vigil]

indeed.... which probably means I'll get a 4080 😄

[timid narwhal]

any news on Intels GPU?

[tender mulch]

Nope

[cerulean rover]

Pretty sure one showed up in a best buy prebuilt or something

[tender mulch]

You mean the DG1?

That one did but it's not worth, Intel CPU only and GT1030 basically

I was thinking DG2

The one that will be decent

[timid narwhal]

whatever its called. their forray into discreet GPU

[cerulean rover]

Ye

[tender mulch]

https://wccftech.com/intel-iris-xe-dg1-gpu-powered-graphics-cards-shipping-with-cyberpowerpc-pre-built-gaming-pcs/

It's garbo lol, it only works with INtel CPU's and has LPDDR4X memory

[timid narwhal]

wow

[tender mulch]

This is the one we need to watch for https://wccftech.com/intel-xe-hpg-dg2-gpu-powered-laptop-desktop-graphics-cards-specifications-leak-out/

[timid narwhal]

somone in marketing needs to work on that name

Xe-HPG DG2? what do they theink they are? Elons Musks kid?

[tender mulch]

It makes sense though

INtel XE High Performance Graphics Discrete Graphics 2

[timid narwhal]

ah yes, will go great with my Ferrari HPCW8C

High Performance Car with 8 cylinders

[sonic vigil]

I'm sure it still beats my onboard video on the 10850k -- but unless it was super cheap I'd have a hard time spending money on it because all power considerations aside, the iris drivers are SUPER new and unsupported/not supported well in so many apps

[tender mulch]

I wouldn't count on it being better than integrated

The DG1 anyway

DG2 shoul dbe

[sonic vigil]

really, you think? Then what purpose would it even serve since doesn't every intel chip have a GPU?

[tender mulch]

Test run

[sonic vigil]

ah, fair enough

[karmic crag]

intel gang rise up

[sonic vigil]

I love the idea of intel entering the discrete market -- the more players the better

but with that said, I really, really can't imagine buying one without a hugely impressive showing

[timid narwhal]

we just need Nvidia to start making CPUs

[tender mulch]

If they lock them all to Intel CPU's then bad

[sonic vigil]

Indeed, locking to intel CPU is a poor move

Freedom of choice is an important factor

[graceful kite]

Probably would, but at least with someone else in the gpu market the prices will hopefully come down faster

[sonic vigil]

I have a feeling that after covid there will still be far more gamers, console and PC, than there ever was pre-covid

people got bored, and looked for new indoor hobbies -- and while sure, some may abandon gaming when they feel fully free and safe, I imagine many will not

[tender mulch]

Of course

So many more people working from home now

[sonic vigil]

meaning I imagine there will be a permanently increased demand for the forseeable future

oh indeed, I imagine WFH will remain far more common

too many people got a taste

[tender mulch]

Not too many people

[sonic vigil]

I've been WFH since 2017

[tender mulch]

Too many employers

[sonic vigil]

hmmm that too

[graceful kite]

Sheesh

[sonic vigil]

there are a lot of benefits to WFH for employers, space reduction being a large one -- space is expensive 😄

[tender mulch]

Think about the savings for employers in resources

[graceful kite]

Im kinda glad I physically go to work, I’d be too lazy at home

[tender mulch]

Less electricity, square footage in buildings, heating, cooling etc.

[sonic vigil]

I find I have good days and bad days -- but then in the office I also had good days and baad days

and I personally have far less distratctions at home -- but that's not true for all

[graceful kite]

Yeah but bad day at the office you can’t just run to the fridge and crack a beer

[sonic vigil]

I've never drank on the job at home -- I have MANY times at the office

[analog pagoda]

K west is finally about to ship my card

[sonic vigil]

Congrats!!

[analog pagoda]

Somebody celebrate with me

[sonic vigil]

K west?

[analog pagoda]

Yeah man

[graceful kite]

Lmao nice I def drank the few times I worked at home

Yeah whats k west

[analog pagoda]

Weve been going through it with them

[graceful kite]

Kanye west himself is shipping you a graphics card?

[sonic vigil]

As in... Kanye?

[graceful kite]

Lmaoooo

[analog pagoda]

Man its some crap website that somehow got cards

[sonic vigil]

lol oh

[analog pagoda]

I ordered on 3-13

479.00 for a 2060fe

[hybrid kettle]

Rip

[sonic vigil]

haha damn that's a while ago -- I placed an order back then for a 3080 -- I really need to go and cancel it

[heady turtle]

F scam :/

[tender mulch]

$500 for a 2060???

[analog pagoda]

Thought i was getting scammed

[graceful kite]

Geeze man

[analog pagoda]

But they are getting out of customs

[tender mulch]

$500 for a 2060 is def a scam

Holy moly

[analog pagoda]

Nvidia put a lien on em

Nah they say they are coming now

Finally

Search k west on reddit

[tender mulch]

2060 MSRP is 299

XD

You got scammed

[analog pagoda]

Then check the mega thread

[elder mesa]

only 500$?

[analog pagoda]

Well can you find one for 299?

[elder mesa]

thats a steal in this market rn

[analog pagoda]

Cause i couldnt

[tender mulch]

Considering they're discontinued since Last July

[analog pagoda]

Exactly

[tender mulch]

You shouldn't be able to

And $500 is a scam for sure

[sonic vigil]

that's not the right word for it

[analog pagoda]

I mean they say they are coming

[sonic vigil]

it's blatant overcharging

[tender mulch]

It's garbage

[sonic vigil]

but if you get the product it's not a scam

[tender mulch]

Scalping is pretty much a scam

[analog pagoda]

Yeah but less than your average ebay over charge

[tender mulch]

Nope

sold my 2060 EVGA on ebay for less than $500 :/

Free shipping too

[analog pagoda]

I mean i bought this

Than shuffled on 2 accounts daily

In hopes to win and cancel this

[sonic vigil]

Scalping and scamming are both terrible -- but they are still different -- one leaves you with nothing, the other just leaves you ripped off, but with what you paid for in hand

[analog pagoda]

Never won once

[sonic vigil]

scammers do however often pose as scalpers

[graceful kite]

I just checked, ebay has 2060’s bidding at $475+ easy, this is real sad

[tender mulch]

Start thinking about money in terms of hours worked

You got scammed out of literal time in your life :/

How many hours extra?

[analog pagoda]

So 479 isnt so bad than huh

[tender mulch]

Yes it is

For a 2060, it def is

[analog pagoda]

Lol if i coulda found anything else i woulda refunded

[graceful kite]

Its terrible

[sonic vigil]

indeed, I mean an extra 200$ is certainly a few hours work

[graceful kite]

Its like buying a PS5 for $1k

[elder mesa]

1050 tis are 400$ lol

[tender mulch]

how many hours?

[sonic vigil]

This is afterall a large part of the reason that I just quit trying to get a card for now

[tender mulch]

Ya

I spent 2 months trying to get mine

[analog pagoda]

I mean its crazy

I wanted a 3060 ti but never found 1

Figured 2060fe would last me a few years

[sonic vigil]

Well... that depends which work... either 6.66667 or 2.66667 hours 😄

[analog pagoda]

Than upgrade once market lvls out

[tender mulch]

Amen.

So overpaying could effectively cost you a day of your life

[analog pagoda]

Eh im used to wasting days

Wasted more than a few at the micro center

[sonic vigil]

but TBF I probably spent a good 50 hrs trying to get a video card -- if I could have worked instead during those hours I could have bought pretty much any card at scalper prices and been laughing 😄

[analog pagoda]

At least this overpay kept me from camping out more

[sonic vigil]

Right now you pretty much have to over pay, or, invest your free time -- either way buying right now you lose many hours of you life

and for those 50 hrs I've invested -- I got NOTHING -- atleast he gets a card

[harsh sandal]

my friend has a gtx 650. whats a good gpu he can buy for under 400$ right now that will improve his fps? hes playing siege at 30 fps he wants to reach above 75 average.

1080p medium/low settings

[sonic vigil]

nothing

there's no good cards worth buying under 400$ for the forseeable future

[harsh sandal]

but older cards

[sonic vigil]

Older cards are all jacked up

[tender mulch]

2060 isn't a good card when it comes to ray tracing

I had one

Massive disappoint

[harsh sandal]

he doesnt need a rtx card

[sonic vigil]

he's best just sitting tight and waiting

right, used card market is all jacked

[harsh sandal]

he just wants a small improvement in fps

[graceful kite]

I said it earlier I have a 960 I bought for $77 and they’re going for $150+ rn

[sonic vigil]

a 780 is more than it was MSRP right now

really?

[harsh sandal]

150$ for an improvment would be good he says

[graceful kite]

I can do a heaven benchmark when I get home and send him the stats, so maybe a 960-970

[sonic vigil]

when I was looking at 960s they were quite a bit more

[harsh sandal]

we were looking at a 1050ti for 300$

[graceful kite]

I’m going by neweggs own prices

[sonic vigil]

ah, okay

I guess then I've missed that

[graceful kite]

For used stock

[harsh sandal]

but the gtx 780 seems a little better

[tender mulch]

No

[sonic vigil]

780 is indeed a bit better than a 960 -- there was no 8 series

[tender mulch]

Not for 1080p

[sonic vigil]

really?

[graceful kite]

Oh hell no nevermind they’re at $200 rn

[tender mulch]

3 GB DDR5

[harsh sandal]

so how much better is a gtx 780 from a 650

[graceful kite]

How is the GTX 780 better than a GTX 960

[tender mulch]

It'll have the same issues as the 1060 3 GB with running out of VRAM with modern games

[graceful kite]

Oh wait nvm

[sonic vigil]

ah, gotcha

[graceful kite]

I’ll still benchmark it anyway

Hasn’t been done in a while, need to get the cpu heated up again

[sonic vigil]

haha but yeah, my best advice on buying right now is: unless you luck into a deal, just don't. It's just not worth it

[graceful kite]

Running an old Core2 Extreme qx9650 OC’d only to 3ghz

[tender mulch]

r/ Hardwareswap

There are deals there

[analog pagoda]

Yeah i just had everything but gpu on my first ever build

Picked a bad time to build

[sonic vigil]

I'm on my first bigger budget build -- already shelled out several thousand, and no vide card

I left my old pc in the Caribbean

[analog pagoda]

Woulda paid extra for a prebuilt if i knew this would happen

[graceful kite]

Yeah I’m gonna jump into the build thread soon, I have a list from pcpartpicker and I need some pointers

[sonic vigil]

haha I would have bought a card in early winter if I knew this was going to happen -- I put it off for so many months thinking things would get better, and they only got worse

[analog pagoda]

But i see the light at the end and relief and gaming is in sight

[analog pagoda]

Big same woulda used that first stimmy

[topaz osprey]

Is there a shuffle?

[sonic vigil]

There is

[topaz osprey]

I got a msg saying theres a shuffle but when i go in its the previous one

[sonic vigil]

should have started like... now

[topaz osprey]

Weird lol

[sonic vigil]

but yeah, I don't see it either

they must be running late

but, I'm out of the shuffle game 😄

[analog pagoda]

Nah shuffle for us

Then sell

[sonic vigil]

lol I mean honestly I'd have to -- I just gave amazon like 1300$ two days ago -- that was my video card money

[analog pagoda]

I dropped 400 on all the berserk books on amazon lol

[sonic vigil]

That's a lot of book money...

[analog pagoda]

Its worth it if you like dark mangas

[topaz osprey]

Its good

[analog pagoda]

Plus the writer passed yesterday

[topaz osprey]

Gantz is better 😉

Oh rlly thats sad?

[analog pagoda]

Im reading that now

[topaz osprey]

Will the series finish?

[analog pagoda]

I dunno

It wont be the same

[sonic vigil]

I've honestly never watched either -- I'm more into comedies, and even harem -- or fantasy anime

[analog pagoda]

Heard he was preparing people to finish it

[topaz osprey]

He took a long time lol

[analog pagoda]

Its a dark fantasy manga

[topaz osprey]

Like released one chapter in a year

[analog pagoda]

Yeah started in the 80s

Only 380 ish chapters

Couple movies on netflix

But manga is better

[sonic vigil]

lol wth... amazon told me my package is almost here -- they say it's 1 stop away, but the driver is like 3 miles from here

[topaz osprey]

He would consistently release chapters and then when god of war released the chapters would stop coming in

[analog pagoda]

Man dark souls is primarily influenced by this manga

[topaz osprey]

Until a couple of months lol

[analog pagoda]

Yeah it was just picking back up too

Gotta see guts end griffith

[normal hawk]

Did the shuffle end prematurely? It said it'd start at 8am pt but it tells me that it ended

[tender mulch]

hasn't loaded yet

[normal hawk]

Weird

[lime basin]

yeah its broken for me too

[tender mulch]

Yep

[lime basin]

maybe it actually starts at 10am/1pm and the alert was wrong

[tender mulch]

Might be

[elder mesa]

mayb

[normal hawk]

The email wrong too?

[tender mulch]

Not sure yet

Just ahng in there

[lime basin]

unless the bots finally killed the shuffle too lmao

[blissful cypress]

Should I trade my 1660 plus 400 dollars for a 2070 Super?

[tender mulch]

Mmmm, no

That's a bit too much

Just $400 for 2070 sounds good

[blissful cypress]

Okay cool, what if i got him down to 300?

[tender mulch]

1660 MSRP is $219, that would be $500 total

[blissful cypress]

Oh okay i mean yeah his base price was 700 which is sad sooo

[static palm]

Can't see current shuffle shows the 19th can anyone help? Just got the text 10 min ago

[blissful cypress]

Oh okay

[tender mulch]

Just hang tight on the shuffle

[tender mulch]

That might be a good deal

[drowsy kiln]

GTX 1660 is worth about $400 currently, so "paying" $700 for an RTX 2070 Super.

[tender mulch]

Which isn't too bad in the current market but still kinda oof

[blissful cypress]

Yeah definitely

[drowsy kiln]

No, not at all 2070 Supers are worth $900+ easily

[normal hawk]

Oh sweet.

I'll sell mine when I get back 🤪

Jk

[vital pivot]

Has the shuffle ended already?

[tender mulch]

hasn't started yet

[novel edge]

we've been bamboozled

[vital pivot]

Strang

[analog pagoda]

Yeah we all got that

Guess its wrong today

[inner idol]

Looks like it's up now (Shuffle)

[tender mulch]

WE LIVE, GO GO GO !!! https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

[sonic vigil]

.... pass 😄

[normal hawk]

:l

[sonic vigil]

weird, it works for me -- on pc

I'm not gonna, but it will let me enter

screw it, I'm an addict... I entered... if I actually win I'll deal with that then

[normal hawk]

The apps not working, but i did it on the website

[sonic vigil]

I've got 600$ stashed from patreon that in all honesty is perfectly in good conscience usable for a video card as I'm an indie game developer with no video card 😄

[normal hawk]

Oh

Dm me your work. :o

[vital pivot]

One of my old buddies is a owner of raw fury games which specializes in indie games

[sonic vigil]

Nice! I don't do anything so glamorous 😄 Working on my first game, in my free time, with a team of volunteers, to make something we plan to give away for free 😄

[keen nacelle]

still confused as to why theyre releasing new cards when their current ones are never in stock

and the 3080 ti is just gonna be a 3090 with less vram

[lavish otter]

'S cause they need to fill every market position they can for moar money. Why do you think they made the 1010 this year

[ashen tiger]

I wonder how they gonna try and balance the 3070ti perfromance to not out do 3080

but at the same make it better than the 3070 that its worth to buy

[charred remnant]

I would guess that it's mostly going to be a vram increase and may not have as much in terms of cores? but I also haven't read much so I could easily be misinformed

[lavish otter]

A fair amount of the cards from them this gen will just be not worth it and people will buy anyways because gpu shortage

[ashen tiger]

true that

I was considering 3070 but will try to get the Ti version sense its LHR and I might have a chance

[tender mulch]

Even regular 3070 will be LHR from here out, just FYI

It's not going to be just the TI cards

[ashen tiger]

I literally just built a system with 5 5600x and I just need a gpu

yeaj but 3070s stock is hard rn

[tender mulch]

3070TI won't be any better :/

Same people trying to get 3070 will try to get one of those too

[charred remnant]

For example Asus' 3060 TUF theysold for $520 msrp

[tender mulch]

Hopefully stock levels will be better

[silent ibex]

3060, 3060ti, 3070, 3070ti, 3080, 3080ti will all be LHR starting in june

[tender mulch]

Which just increased the value of every current 3000 series out there

[ashen tiger]

might be a chance if the leaks are true and it releases at June 10 with LHR that's what am saying its a better chance than trying to get a 3070 right now

[silent ibex]

yup. my 3 3070s are gonna be good 😄

[cerulean rover]

there's this rn if necessary
https://t.co/3itP45Gqzc?amp=1

[silent ibex]

3090 will be unchanged

[ashen tiger]

3090 is flat out scam in my eyes double the price for a bit better performance

than 3080

[lavish otter]

...How would stamping the boxes prevent reselling?

[tender mulch]

It won't

It will just make it impossible to determine if it's LHS or not after purchase

[ashen tiger]

Idk I don't trust third party like nerdspeak

[cerulean rover]

who knows

got pinged for it earlier, might as well share it

[ashen tiger]

its just too much money to throw at a source I never heard of

[charred remnant]

I mean that's always been the case with Titan cards by rebranding as xx90 they just made them look like they were still part of the standard lineup so people who wanted the most expensive thing would just buy it, where before even people trying to build the most expensive pc possible didn't always go for titans

[cerulean rover]

ye it's just a stock checker

[ashen tiger]

oh ok

[cerulean rover]

shuffle looks pretty good today so

[ashen tiger]

that sounds understandable I guess Tyler M

[cerulean rover]

Titans were never really meant for just consumers tho, more workstations

[brave violet]

True @cerulean rover But still customers can use them

[cerulean rover]

I disagree with 3090 as an extension to the Titan series, I agree with 3090 being the big expensive card that's only really for those who want the most expensive

There's a few applications where the extra vram is good though

[brave violet]

or whoever has no budget=no limit

[cerulean rover]

My point is the average person isn't meant to buy a titan, nor the usual NVidia customer, just some workstations

what was the stat, smth like 50% of NVidia sales from 'gamers', 30% for servers, and the rest on workstations?

[lavish otter]

Doesn't Nvidia lock some useful features to their Titan series for workstations anyways

[cerulean rover]

to quadro ye

don't remember if there's titan specific drivers

[charred remnant]

I didn't think there were

[lavish otter]

I think I am thinking of when Nvidia added some Quadro features to the Titan series ages ago

[charred remnant]

Maybe? but I don't feel like they would have since I thought there still was a quadro equivalent to the titans but I really don't know enough about quadros to say

[lavish otter]

It was an attempt to undercut AMD sales in something like 2017

They added Maya and some other stuff

[ashen tiger]

oh ma gahd micro center has gpus in store I need to go now

[cerulean rover]

gogogo

[ashen tiger]

ITS TWENTY MINUTES AWAY WILL I MAKE IT

[lavish otter]

No

[charred remnant]

i mean you can try?

[ashen tiger]

my bad

[charred remnant]

there's always a chance

[ashen tiger]

am talking to them rn

trying to reserve

it

[cerulean rover]

lol

[tender mulch]

They wont' reserve

Just go

You're wasting time

[cerulean rover]

don't break any laws

[charred remnant]

I don't think they will so I'd reccomend getting in the car now

[ashen tiger]

Aight wish me luck then

[carmine iris]

It's not the nj microcenter is it

[charred remnant]

ideally he should be driving so he probably won't see that for 20+min

[hasty stag]

how much of a difference is there between the EVGA GEFORCE RTX 3060 XC GAMING and the MSI RTX 3060 TI VENTUS 2X OC?

[tender mulch]

3060 TI vs 3060 is 25-30%

[charred remnant]

Yea I want to say 3060ti is one of the better price to performance options from 30 series

[tender mulch]

It is

HUGE boost over 3060

[charred remnant]

Oh yea ik it's huge over 3060 wasn't sure how it compared with 3070

that's stonks

[lethal pawn]

what

[cerulean rover]

eh

that's stock market

[charred remnant]

that's not gpu's

[hot folio]

I’m really debating pulling up to microcenter and buying the 6900xt for 1800

Because that’s the only thing I’ve seen in any microcenters near me

[charred remnant]

I mean if you don't have anything and you have the money to spend its an option🤷‍♂️

[hot folio]

Rn my card is a crashing rx480

[static zinc]

thats almost 2x msrp o.O

[hot folio]

At least in the build I’m planning to replace the card in

[hot folio]

Better than the $2600 I usually see 6900s go for in microcenter

[static zinc]

those are scalper prices wtf

[charred remnant]

i mean you could argue new msrp is more like $1200 with the tariff or are amd's reference cards produced solely in Taiwan?

[hot folio]

Also there’s a water block 6800xt being sold for about 1500, how much would it take to setup a custom loop?

[tender mulch]

Another couple hundred bucks

and a few hours of time

[hot folio]

Time I have tons on my hands

So that 1500 would turn into about 2200+?

[tender mulch]

CPU block, tubing, pump reservoir. $100-200

[hot folio]

Oh that’s it?

[heady turtle]

Rad as well

And fittings

[hot folio]

Also it’s kind of annoying because I just bought a 360 AIO

[heady turtle]

Yeah i wouldn't bother

You already have 3070 anyway?

[hot folio]

I’m doing this for a second build I have lying around

Because it has an artifacting RX480 in it

[heady turtle]

Ohh

[midnight cosmos]

is a 3070 gonna be good for gaming for a while at 1440p ultrawide 144hz?

[tender mulch]

OH yeah

Just fine

[hot folio]

A 3070 is THE 1440p card

[midnight cosmos]

also is the ftw3 ultra a good model

[heady turtle]

Yes

[tender mulch]

That or the Strix

[hot folio]

I’d say it’s overkill if you aren’t overclocking

[midnight cosmos]

ok cool

[heady turtle]

Or whatever you can get for cheapest X)

[tender mulch]

That too

[hot folio]

Between the different models there’s only about 1-2% performance difference

[heady turtle]

Apart from fe

Fe has very little headroom compared to a 3 fan

[hot folio]

Why not FE?

Ahh ok

[heady turtle]

Oof why

[midnight cosmos]

yeah ik there isnt much performance diff and I thought the ftw3 looked good

also i wanted a white one but the strix is nonexistent and the zotac is small=weak(joke)

[lone pond]

asus white strix looks so beautiful

[hot folio]

A can of spray paint can go a long way

[heady turtle]

Ahhz would you not just wait til next cpu upgrade for mobo

[heady turtle]

Still doesn't beat how beautiful strix white is

[lone pond]

money can't buy everything
-GPUs at 2021:so true

[midnight cosmos]

see i thought about this, but i dont want to permanently paint it for rma purposes, but i might try plastidip as you can peel it off. Also i might try to buy another shroud off someone who waterblocked and paint the second shroud

wdym by skin

[hot folio]

Nothing beats the white strix

[hot folio]

Think of it like wrapping a car

[midnight cosmos]

i havent thought about that yet

good idea

[magic wing]

sad kingpin noises

[midnight cosmos]

@sterile parcel so is it like custom cut or can u buy it somewhere

[lone pond]

Imagine having gpu opinion in 2021

[midnight cosmos]

nice

also anyone know if its possible to buy a second shroud for the ftw3

like just the plastic not the heatsink

[lone pond]

lol

[charred remnant]

I would assume not why?

[midnight cosmos]

i wanna try to paint it but not ruin my main shroud

[hot folio]

@midnight cosmos There’s also the Gigabyte Vision if you can find it

[heady stratus]

The 3080ti having only 12gb vram is a joke when you look at the spec comparison

it's like nvidia basically saying "You will throttle TF out of your Ram unless you get the 3090"

[charred remnant]

that makes sense you could try using something like plastidip if you just want to paint it a new color since it peels off

[midnight cosmos]

yeah my uncle snagged a ftw3 3070 at microcenter and was gonna give it to me or his friend, so ill let him know ill take it

[midnight cosmos]

yep thats what im thinking

[hot folio]

Well I’m out for a couple minutes, my friends nominated me to do karaoke for Enter Sandman😭

[charred remnant]

Then I wouldn't be too concerned about it tbh, just make sure you tape stuff like the rgb region

[midnight cosmos]

on the ftw3 u can remove it with 2 screws

so its gonna be easy

[charred remnant]

ah ok I haven't tried taking my ftw3 apart so I wouldn't know lol

[midnight cosmos]

yeah

and im pretty sure evga doesnt care as long as u get the plasti dip off before sending it back for warranty

[charred remnant]

Yup

Evga is super chill with warranty

[midnight cosmos]

yeah thats part of the reason i wanted the ftw3

[hot folio]

I’m back

My main card rn is a FTW3 and I love mine

[charred remnant]

I've seen a lot of people with 3070 ftw3's on this server lol

[hot folio]

I got lucky and a microcenter by me had one for a normal price

There are about 3 microcenters by me all of which I stalk daily lol

[charred remnant]

I got mine from shuffle before they raised the pricing from $700

[hot folio]

I got it for just over $700 with tax included

[heady turtle]

I'd consider 650-700 new msrp pricing for a 3070 at this point tbh so

[fossil talon]

BB Canada are having in stores drops apparently now

[charred remnant]

Oh yea I mean that it looks like on shuffle they have the same 3070 ftw3 selling for $730

[lone pond]

gigabyte vision looks cool too

[fossil talon]

Until they don't come with thermal pads on 3080/3090

[lone pond]

I won 3070 vision with gigabyte hazard psu from shuffle for 750$ few months ago 👍

[fossil talon]

LOL

[lone pond]

sold psu for 100 so got 3070 vision for 650 lol

now looking for white 3080 or 90

[fossil talon]

I resold my 3080 Vision back in January

And SuprimX 3080

[lone pond]

it's more rare now

3080 is really hard to get

[charred remnant]

yea I think 3080's are one of the more scarce cards

[fossil talon]

Yep

[livid idol]

They're literally worth their weight in gold

[fossil talon]

Ah eyeball it hehe

[livid idol]

Yeah they made it really hard on us for some reason. You can even accidentally plug a 4 pin wire into a 3 pin header.

[fossil talon]

I mean PC building has become easier than before

Ig it's conventional to leave RGB pins like that for now

[livid idol]

But it's an easy mistake for a beginner, or if you're in a dark/tight environment

[charred remnant]

I'm just thinking of the usb 3 header I broke on my old pc lol

[fossil talon]

It's pains me when I see someone smash a molex cable into a 3 pin RGB port

[fossil talon]

I feel that XD, I installed DDR2 inside a DDR3 PC one time

[charred remnant]

oh nooooo

[livid idol]

Who reads manuals?

[fossil talon]

Yeee

I was only 11 at the time

11 old me was dumb

Actually I'm still dumb but not that dumb

[charred remnant]

I just broke the usb 3 header trying to get the front panel connectors out of the header

the usb front panel*

not like power or reset lol

[fossil talon]

Ooof

[heady turtle]

ive heard that problem but never had it myself and i wasnt exactly taking much care with my usb 3 lol

[fossil talon]

I wonder what my biggest tech fail was 🤔

Oh ik, replacing a S4 screen without instruction and proper heat gun

[charred remnant]

Yea it was an old pc and I was trying to fix some of the cable management and heard it crack and was sad.

[fossil talon]

Literally tore the OLED panel

OH LMAOO

[charred remnant]

By biggest fail was trusting patriot lol

[fossil talon]

Patriot SSDs go brrrrrr

Ouch

Crushed by love

[charred remnant]

I bought a 2x16gb kit of 3600cl18 patriot ram for $100 at black friday on newegg and found out like a month ago that it won't post unless the timings are set to 3600cl22 and patriot just blames ryzen despite the fact that no other brand has issues. So I'm just pissed about that

[fossil talon]

Wtf

[charred remnant]

Ik I've probably said it on this discord like 25+ times lol I'm just still super pissed at them

[fossil talon]

That's should of been written into the DOCP

Facts

Me and my Zotac 1070

And thermal issues

Pfffff

Windows updates

[charred remnant]

mhm, it's that they have super crappy IC's, Patriot is like "there's a known issue with ryzen not liking 16+ gb dimms at 3600+" but then stayed silent when I mentioned that no other brand had the issue

their support keeps trying to tell me that supposedly amd is working on the issue, but it's clearly not amd'sissue

anyways when I finally get back home since I've been out of town I'll go back to ripping into patriot

[midnight cosmos]

u in ohio? I live in Columbus and have 3 around me

[charred remnant]

what'd you get?

👍

That was fast lol

that's fair back home I had next day shipping now at school its like 3-4 days

nice

[fossil talon]

Lol nice

I have a main warehouse about 25 mins away from me

1 day shipping is my norm however it's not as big as other warehouses

Hence I still have Amazon shipping from across the country

[hybrid kettle]

I have warehouse like 10 min away but don’t really get any same day shipping

Well to be fair I’m not really buying stuff in the morning so idk we might

[charred remnant]

It can also depend what stuff you're ordering and the size of the warehouse, if it's a smaller warehouse and you buy kinda unusual stuff they may not have it actively in stock

[solemn panther]

Ok who won

[charred remnant]

whats wrong?

ah yea matching whites is super difficult

oof, I just have my rgb set to a static orange to match my keyboard (I have an old G910 where a bunch of the blue led's died which I recently found out is super common)

But my rgb is literally just my gpu, mouse and keyboard and the mouse and keyboard are both logitech lol

lol (just remembered i have a tiny bit of mobo rgb that's practically completely hidden by the ftw3) but I installed dragon center, set the color of the light to the orange I use then immediately uninstalled it lol

[hot folio]

Nah, Long Island

[charred remnant]

still looks nice if you ask me

also something I was reminded of today is that arctic makes white versions of the P12 if that might be something you're interested in for your intakes

[hot folio]

Personally i dont really like the look of the massive air coolers but nice build

Yeah the P12s are really nice fans

[charred remnant]

That's fair, personally I'm weird about liquid inside a pc regardless of the fact that aio's are more than safe so I would rather get a bulky air cooler

[ashen tiger]

oh dang

[charred remnant]

there's the chromax one which is a nice black but at the same time it's pricey

[ashen tiger]

me that has just purchased a nzxt x53 liquid cooler

[tender mulch]

[charred remnant]

I mean there's nothing wrong with aio's I'm just overly paranoid

[ashen tiger]

Oh yeah I definitely understand lol, I picked it because the reviews on it are really good and its gonna fit real nice in the p360a

[tender mulch]

Yeah, the cooling on it is just mediocre

for it's price

[hot folio]

I really am enjoying my Freezer 2 even with a ductaped insulation

[ashen tiger]

and its aesthetically pleasing to me lol

[hot folio]

i found a way to hide it in my back panel

[ashen tiger]

this feel weird I just bought my first mechanical keyboard and my god it feel different

[tender mulch]

Was it a Cooler Master?

Interesting

[ashen tiger]

Corsair is mad with their pc case fan pricing tbh

[tender mulch]

Have you seen Noctuas pricing?

[charred remnant]

For sure although I will say their rgb case fans are one of the best looking options'

[ashen tiger]

No

but I have heard of them and how they are like the best quiet fans to get in the markey

[tender mulch]

Arctic P12

[ashen tiger]

Yeah I got phanteks rgb fans to compliment the two rgb stock fans that the p360a comes with

I'll send a pic of the setup when I get my cpu tuesday

[tender mulch]

They do now yes

[charred remnant]

it's brand new but yes. That said I'm not the biggest fan of how they look personally but I'm also not a big rgb guy

[ashen tiger]

Oh yeah I went to micro center and all there was, was a Quadro 5000

they said don't trust the site so I got jebaited

[heady turtle]

Bout the same perf as a 3090 just not game optimised drivers

[charred remnant]

and a much bigger price tag

[ashen tiger]

no the thing is they said they had 3070 in stock but the only thing that they restocked was 1660s which btw were snached in seconds

[heady turtle]

Depends how much it was

[ashen tiger]

That was my first time in micro center

[vital pivot]

Fans are overpriced. Dang things cost $5 and sell them for 35

[charred remnant]

Oh I guess these days maybe not lol but traditionally a quadro is more expensive than the equivalent gtx/rtx card since you're paying for the drivers

[ashen tiger]

yeah the quadro was 2k

[charred remnant]

for sure Arctic P12's are good fans for $10 each or like $40 for 5

[vital pivot]

Bleh. RGB just adds power draw and temp

[tender mulch]

These are my next fan. Almost 3 mm of H2O for rads, it's nuts! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CG2PGY6

[vital pivot]

I want my old beige systems back

Heh.

I read up a little.

Pc fails.

I built a system for a friend of my ups driver

Long story.

So the guy brought all the parts. And then pulled out his cousins used R5-2600 cpu.

He had it in his pocket and half the pins were bent

So I had to freaking straighten out the pins.

[lone pond]

l

[vital pivot]

And I was doing the build for free as the guy was a noob and was just switching from console.

But I got it and the system booted and ram fine.

The kid even managed to snag a evga 3080

I did it with a pocket knife 🔪

[heady turtle]

Uwu

[alpine idol]

owo 🤤

[lone pond]

any good gpu support advice ? 🤔

that 6900xt too heavy

[warped carbon]

I got a EVGA 1060 3gb SSC, can you use the EVGA Precision software to control the RGB on the graphics card?

[heady turtle]

Get a support bracket

[lone pond]

yeah but im not clue about them 🤔

i dont see any good place to put it 🤔 like it would be so smoll to not reach to fans 🤔

[heady turtle]

No idea where you get but you can make yourself

Try Amazon r sum

[lone pond]

yeah ill look for it

this card is too damn heavy

[heady turtle]

Oof

[heady turtle]

You could probably use a funko pop figure if you have one as a temp fix lol

Might be right height depending on case

It's a possibility

And would look better than a block of wood r sum lol

[lone pond]

lol

[heady turtle]

Worth a shot checking if you have one tho

[lone pond]

🤔

[sweet eagle]

Can someone help me with a couple of questions about graphic cards?

[heady turtle]

Sure

Just ask the question don't ask if you can ask lol

[lone pond]

https://www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-Bracket-Graphics-Gaming-3mm-Aluminum-White/dp/B079KYY1HD is that good ? 🤔

[heady turtle]

No idea but if it helps i have an ezdiy fan hub and it works just fine and they've got decent build quality on it, ofc i could be lucky and the other stuff it bad but I've never seen a support bracket like that

Usually it's like a stand with a slider thingy

[lone pond]

yeah ill look at local stores for it tomorrow 🤔 I dont want bended gpu or broken pcie port lol

[heady turtle]

You have an funko pops or something?

That would do for a temp bracket

[lone pond]

no lol xd

[heady turtle]

Damm

[lone pond]

this card is 3lbs or something lol

[heady turtle]

Lemme convert that to non us units real quick

[charred remnant]

which card is it? (like ik its a 6900xt but like reference or powercolor or?)

[heady turtle]

Yeah u messed up and did a ,💩 job of editing it to fix lol

[charred remnant]

lol you're good

[heady turtle]

1.3 non freedom units jeez

[shell mason]

the hunt for a 3080 or 3090 at MSRP continues

have yet to get one for 3 months now lmao

[visual scroll]

So my computer started turning off randomly. Could it be overheating? Crash reports says nothing really. When it goes off and turn it back on nothing displays but it's got power. So I'm unsure. If I turn it off then back on it says the dram light on mobo. But I've reseated them already. Multiple times. Could the gpu be failing? Or triggering something?

[tender mulch]

CPU and motherboard? What slots is the ram in?

[warped carbon]

I installed the newest precision x1 software and the LED sync does not work. I have the EVGA 1060 3gb SSC. Is anyone else familiar with this problem and fixes?

[visual scroll]

Oh ffs. Ran who crashed and it gave me a report from Nov last year. Not this time... Ffs. Memory is in the right slots. Been like that for a year. This problem just started in recent weeks. Asus x570 mobo, ryzen 5 3600, gskill ram but I found last night my zen 5 can't handle ram of 3600 but only 3200 smbut why wouldn't that be a problem before

[drowsy kiln]

Wait like the two most right slots... use slots 2/4 if your going left to right.

[tender mulch]

You can't change the color, it's just a white LED logo

[visual scroll]

No I meant the right slots as in correct slots lol

Would adding more fans help keep the ram and everything else cooler? Or just move heat around more

[hot folio]

Anyone know what time microcenter gets new cards?

[livid idol]

Each one restocks different days

[karmic crag]

amd gpu drivers are pain

[livid idol]

They've improved the drivers a lot since the 5700xt

[burnt zodiac]

Whats a good gpu until rtx 30 series is able to buy

[spare relic]

anything ~1060 performance is decent

[granite obsidian]

depending on what you need, could go 11th gen iGPU

[hot folio]

Anyone know when microcenters get new cards in stock?

[hot folio]

Where are you in the US?

[solar rampart]

Canada

[hot folio]

...

[tiny kiln]

think i should get 3060ti + 5600x or 3070 + 3600?

[hot folio]

The performance difference between the 3070 and 3060ti is about 10%

I’d go for 5600x + 3060ti

Seems to be better value imo

[tiny kiln]

ok thx

[cursive anvil]

It kinda depends on what you are doing tbh

More CPU heavy things = 5600x set

More GPU heavy things = 3600 set

For most games your cpu is generally good enough unless you are streaming, so I'd lean on more GPU muscle

[hot folio]

Better all around imo is the 5600x set tho

[tiny kiln]

ok, ill be doing mostly gaming,

the only difference in price for me is $20 so

im probably going to go with the 5600x set, thanks for the help 🙂

[hot folio]

If it’s mostly gaming go for the 3600 set

[tender mulch]

I mean

10400/11400 outperforms the 3600

I'd look into that as well

[hot folio]

^

[tender mulch]

and is cheaper

[tiny kiln]

i already bought an amd board though, so i dont really have a choice

if i knew about the 11th gen back then, i wouldve bought one of those

[hot folio]

Makes sense

[tiny kiln]

the price of intel mobos would equal out the cost tho so idk

[tender mulch]

Not really

can get B560 for $100

and 3200 mhz ram

If you already have an AMD board

snag a 5600x then

so it lasts you a while

Because the next AMD upgrade will require a new motheboard on AM5 socket

[cursive anvil]

^^^

This

[tender mulch]

Oh, and DDR5 ram as well

Forgot about that

[lone pond]

agreed

yeah ddr5 incoming

[tender mulch]

Q3 in fact

[lone pond]

ey what do you think about gpu support brackets 🤔 I think I need one but not sure which one is better 🤔

something like this is alright ? 🤔

[violet kestrel]

i would rather get upTHERE

[swift cliff]

So what kind of clock speeds are people getting on a 90 strix?

[junior shale]

Just put legos and make them hold the card in place

[ashen tiger]

My friend bought a GPU sag bracket and then the bracket itself started to sag lmao

[hot folio]

Never would I thought I’d be standing outside a microcenter waiting for a gpu

[magic wing]

The 6900XT?

[hot folio]

3080

Maybe 3070

A microcenter by me just got a decent shipment in

[green harness]

Good luck @hot folio!

[hot folio]

There’s only 5 people in front of me and they have at least 3 cards

If I get a choice between an MSI Suprim X, EVGA FTW3 ultra, and Aorus master 3070 which should I choose?

[green harness]

I personally would avoid MSI due to their anti-consumer practices

EVGA has excellent customer service and warranty support, the best from what I've heard

[hot folio]

EVGA it is then since screw gigabyte

[green harness]

I'd be thrilled to get an Aorus Master or FTW3

Yeah, personally I'd go EVGA given the choice, but I wouldn't be upset to get the Aorus

I have a Gigabyte Gaming OC and it's performing well. Just have to re-pad/paste it

[hot folio]

I also wouldn’t but I got burned by gigabyte so many times

[green harness]

Ah

How so?

[hot folio]

RTX 2070 started artifacting, sent it to their RMA 6 times, still hasn’t been fixed to this day

[green harness]

oof

Sorry to hear that

[magic wing]

gigabyte has terrible thermal pads on 3000 series cards

[green harness]

Well yeah, but those are replaceable

[magic wing]

too much work for most people

and people dont feel safe with changing stuff either

I would say EVGA and ASUS are at the top

[green harness]

Oh yeah, I would too

[magic wing]

followed by gigabyte and masi

[green harness]

Given the opportunity I'd still buy a Gigabyte though

I did after all

[magic wing]

personally yes

recommending to other people is not what I would do tho

[green harness]

Well I did mention the thermal pad issue. And it's a common one across 3080s. I don't remember hearing about a single 3080 model that has good memory temperatures outside of perhaps a hybrid or full water block card

[merry yew]

how big of a psu do i need for a rtx 3090 and a ryzen 5 1600?

[cerulean rover]

EVGA should have good memory pads, along with Asus

Eh, 750w works

[merry yew]

thx

[heady turtle]

Why would you run a 3090 r5 1600......

[hot folio]

Normally I wouldn’t say anything these days is a bottleneck, but holy bottleneck

30 minutes left till microcenter opens

[heady turtle]

Gl

[hot folio]

I’m 7th on line rn

How many cards does microcenter usually get whenever new 3070s come in

[green harness]

Particularly when it's not too hard to get a better cpu than that

[hot folio]

Because they have at least one Aorus master, evga ftw3 ultra, and msi suprim x

[green harness]

Depends on the store I think. The stock levels at the one nearest to me seem to vary a LOT. But if you're 7th in line you should have a pretty good shot at a 3070 if they have stock

[hot folio]

Oh boy there’s some drama starting

Some 2 guys just cut to the front of the line

[heady turtle]

If you've got 3090 money you have 5900x money or at least 10850k money

[green harness]

Yep. And even like a 5600x, 5800x, 11700k, etc. would be a much better pairing

[hot folio]

Even a 3000 series would work

[heady turtle]

Yep

[green harness]

yeah, basically anything else that's newer

[fluid sluice]

lmfao im stuck with my ryzen 5 3600 and radeon 5700 xt oof

[green harness]

That's not bad at all

[heady turtle]

Not an oof very good

[hot folio]

That’s perfectly fine...

5700xt is like 2070 super ish level iirc

[fluid sluice]

went with what i could get for my price point to complete my full asus rog build

[heady turtle]

Even if it was 2700x i would be like okay but 2nd gen ryzen is such a jump from 1st gen

[fluid sluice]

check build pics for my build currently

[heady turtle]

Looks nice bit to rog-gy for my taste but still better than a lot of other people

[fluid sluice]

wanted a full rog build. for software purposes as well as full amd

[green harness]

It looks pretty clean, which is the biggest thing imo. It's not my aesthetic, but you do you

[fluid sluice]

having everything under one software is so nice

[hot folio]

I honestly prefer the smaller build next to it

[fluid sluice]

thats my wifes haha

[heady turtle]

For rgb purposes i guess but like the psu etc doesn't matter

[hot folio]

Mostly because I hate the look of tridentZ royal ram and too much rog but you do you

[fluid sluice]

yeah its the 850w thor psu

[heady turtle]

Same imo, i mean you do you but i don't like the look

[fluid sluice]

the royals i grew on over time, bought them not knowing if i was gonna like them

[hot folio]

To me the royal ram looks really tacky

[magic wing]

why does ur dp look like a higher saturation flipped version of racers dp

[green harness]

I just turn RGB off on mine so all I need to do is open the software once and shut it off and then never touch it again 🙂

[heady turtle]

Same it's the expensive thing for me too it's like more expensive than the neo or ballistix etc

[hot folio]

The gold also doesn’t really go well with my build

[heady turtle]

I mean i have tiny bit or rgb on my gpu that's controllable but leave it on auto cuz idc

[cerulean rover]

I think it looks quite nice. But the looks doesn't really justify the price imo

[heady turtle]

Fair it's a personal thing i guess

[hot folio]

Yeah

[heady turtle]

If it was the cheapest i would get because great dies but that's all lol

[hot folio]

I remember seeing the freezer II pump for the first time and thinking it was ugly but now that I actually have it I really like it

[fluid sluice]

i mean with everything is white it looks nice

i posted a picture

[heady turtle]

The ram looks way better in white than rgb imo

[cerulean rover]

Some things will grow on you like that, other things like H510 just looks worse every time you look at it again >:p

[hot folio]

The H510 is so overused imo

[heady turtle]

Hot take 🔥 🥁budum tss

[fluid sluice]

yeah static colors look really nice

[hot folio]

And overpriced

[cerulean rover]

It's a very hot boi

Static colors can look neat

[fluid sluice]

friend told me i need a 360mm aio but its kinda overkill until i get a better cpu

[hot folio]

A friend wanted to get it, I literally told him he might as well throw his pc parts into his oven

[fluid sluice]

i dislike anything from nzxt honestly

[hot folio]

I’m not a fan of nzxt

[fluid sluice]

looks to bland and the quality is poor compared to other cheaper cases

[heady turtle]

240 is fine just fine

[fluid sluice]

@heady turtle exactly what i said

[hot folio]

Just don’t get a 120

[heady turtle]

I mean it's fine for i5 and a 1650 but same price as p360a

[heady turtle]

They already have 240

[hot folio]

Ahh ok

[hot folio]

He has an i9 and a 2080ti

[heady turtle]

Tbf build quality is decent just bad design

[heady turtle]

Oh lmao

[fluid sluice]

nzxt needs better aio support

the 510 is poop

[heady turtle]

Yeah it's funny that they make 240mm aios and doesn't fit in 90% of their cases lol

[fathom fable]

hello

[dreamy dragon]

AlecFencer#2894 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hot folio]

Some guy brought his entire family of 20 people and every damn person bought a 30 series card

[heady turtle]

Wtf

[green harness]

wow. Did you strike out?

[hot folio]

I got a 6700xt

It’s a power cooler 6700xt

[heady turtle]

Nice

How much?

[hot folio]

899

[heady turtle]

Oof

[hot folio]

More than msrp but I got tired of waiting for a 3070

[heady turtle]

Fair

[hot folio]

And i got tired of my artifacting rx480

[heady turtle]

Like 2x xd

You can always mine with it

Get some money back

[hot folio]

True

[frail geode]

Are newegg shuffles on the weekend too?

[heady turtle]

Sometimes Saturdays yes but never sunday

[tender mulch]

Not today though looks like

[hot folio]

I’m officially going to say it, screw Newegg shuffle

[green harness]

I got a GPU through the shuffle so it's not hopeless

[hot folio]

I was trying for 2 months with no luck

[green harness]

Yeah, it's really hit or miss. I had entered every shuffle that had something I wanted since the start before I got lucky

[hot folio]

How is the powercolor hellhound 6700xt

[heady turtle]

It's like any other 6700xt

Fine

But it ocs well afaik

[hot folio]

Ahh ok

[hot folio]

Lmfao

[hot folio]

You know what? This card is actually really good, I’m pulling about 70-80 frames at 4K on high

[heady turtle]

Nice

[normal hawk]

Nice

[swift cliff]

Anyone running a 3090 strix? Curious to compare clock speeds

so repadded just the backplate so far, squeezed it up to 2140 MHz

gotta still repad and repaste the front today or tomorrow

[lusty coral]

What do you think I could get for $700 in this terrible market

[native crow]

look man all I want is a good gpu for a decent price

[lusty coral]

Same. I have $700 to spend but Amazon is going $1000+ for a 2080

I think I can get a better deal somewhere else tho

[livid idol]

If you're in the US look at microcenter. You might have to camp out for a night depending on which location but you're pretty much guaranteed a GPU.

[lusty coral]

26 miles from me 👀

[livid idol]

That's not bad distance at all

[fallen marlin]

What's a good gpu to pair with ryzen 7 3700x

[livid idol]

They only sell these in store and they don't hold, you just have to go and see

[livid idol]

Any modern GPU tbh

The vast majority of games will be GPU bound, not CPU

[fallen marlin]

Gotcha im currently running a 1650 only thing I could get was wanting to upgrade down the line

Seems like microcenter is the best bet to get one I've got 3 within 2 hours from me lol

[stray wolf]

How early do you get to microcenter to even get a voucher?

[livid idol]

Depends on which branch, some of them the people at the front of the line have been there since the previous day, others showing up an hour before (or even after) opening is fine

[lusty coral]

Got banned from eBay for putting a couple bids on gpus this some bull

[livid idol]

If you have a low rep account or an account that hasn't been used in a while, and you're dealing in high demand items, that's suspicious behavior according to their current policies

[hot folio]

You are guaranteed a GPU if youre willing to pay scalped prices for an AMD card or a lower end Nvidia at microcenter

[heady turtle]

Nice

Less pet hair I'm guessing was reason

Ahh fair some cases can be grippy

[kindred briar]

Am I likely to find a rtx 3060 ti at msrp at micro center I live in Corona CA

Wait does Newegg offer in person purchases at their warehouses

[livid idol]

Possible but who knows the odds really

[livid idol]

No

[kindred briar]

Thank you

[simple pelican]

How good of a brand is zotac

I’ve never owned anything from them before

[hot folio]

It’s ehhh

[livid idol]

Better than nothing but don't expect much overclocking

[stiff cairn]

I'm sure this is a frequent, annoying question in here, but: my 13 year old is building a PC. We've finally got to the point we have every component he needs, except the graphics card. I want to purchase one for him, but with me being completely computer illiterate, I have no idea which to get. He is a gamer so I'm assuming he needs a pretty good one, however I don't want the best as I'm trying to stay on somewhat of a budget. Newegg's website referred me here for help, is anyone willing to help me with this?

[earnest nebula]

What type of games does he play?

[livid idol]

What CPU did you end up getting?

[tawdry ingot]

Whats a good $400 dollar gpu that can play games ok at least 70fps

[rugged vortex]

well technically 3060 ti's start at $400.....

but the best you can get for $400 that ive seen is a 1650

[drowsy kiln]

No. RTX 3060-Tis were more like $500 due to tarrifs and different AIBs charge more.

But yes $400 is around GTX 1650 Super/1660 pricing.

[static rock]

3060ti fe is $400

[livid idol]

You can only buy those on best buy though, so you'd have to beat the bots

[drowsy kiln]

Exactly, Best Buy is the only place to get 3060-Tis for $400, your going to be spending at least MSRP of $430 anywhere else. While likely $500+ if your paying retail cost for the card depending on the AIB.

[jaunty mango]

ok so i have a ryzen 5 3400g asrock b450m-hdv r4.0 with 16gb of 3000mghz ram and this is the second time ive had to come to the discord to ask for help because my last ryzen was defective but now im having some problems that i dont know how to solve

as of right now whenever i play a game a get past the title screen/loading screen at some point within 5 minutes itll lock up and the screen will go black then when it comes back the AMD bug report tool will come up saying there was a driver timeout

and sometimes a specific app will wig out and graphicly glitch a little

but it isnt artifacting cause it only one app at a time and it just goes away on its own

its weird cause if i stress test it putting the cpu and gpu under load it works fine no crashing but when i play a game it will have all the issues above

except very specific games and oddly enough emulation like ps3 wii U and some others i tested work fine

[cosmic dagger]

Uhh I just joined this server a few minutes ago but... I think you posted this in the wrong channel 😬

[jaunty mango]

maybe but i thought it fit here since its a graphics issue

[cosmic dagger]

🤷‍♂️

[jaunty mango]

if it is wrong as long as i get some sort of help we could just move to the correct channel

yea
