[jaunty mango]

Everything worked and moved around properly in this state but it looked like that

[hot folio]

Why doesn’t my mouse feel as smooth as it did before I changed CPUs?

[last hatch]

cables are seated firmly?

[hot folio]

It’s not the sensitivity

The mouse cursor feels jumpy

[karmic crag]

"feels jumpy"? do you mean it's stuttering across your display?

[dreamy dragon]

Sanemi Shinazugawa#4234 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[solemn panther]

smh

[lone pond]

not pog

[hot folio]

Something like that

[jaunty mango]

which ones cause i use the iGPU

[hot folio]

The 6 and 24 pin on the motherboard

[jaunty mango]

i mean there is a 20+4 pin but the cpu power is 4pin

i guess i can reseat both lemme go do that

[rapid yoke]

What is the best bang for the buck gaming laptop with at least an rtx 3000 series thats under 2k?
i want a qhd screen 144hz or higher, 15inch or bigger, higher tdp, i play modern warfare and forza horizon 4 maxed out at 1440p and sometimes 1080p on cod
i either want to spend 2k for a 3080 16gb or 1500 for a 3070 model or 1000ish for a 3060 model. i really want ryzen 5900 though i think just because its so fast. i also do alot of multi tasking and run alot of stuff in the background i will be upgrading the ram eventually to 64gb when prices are down on ram. i also want one with a mux switch if possible. Any suggestions or links for anywhere? I refuse to get an older laptop i really want the 3070 or 3080 because im use to playing on a 3080 and i do play competitive
thanks in advance!! i hope this is ok to ask please dont ban me if i made an error im not that smart with discord.

[cerulean rover]

the price expectations are going to be very hard to meet

[green harness]

Just keep in mind a laptop 3080 is not going to provide the same performance as a desktop 3080

[jaunty mango]

hey @tender mulch

so ive tested my ram with 2 apps now and both come back with no error

so lets say i get s gt730 cause its a super cheap gpu thatll give me enough performance to test some games

but if my problems persist than thats a fault with my mother board

[solemn panther]

@jaunty mango hes sick. best not to bother him

[jaunty mango]

ah i see sorry bout that

[solemn panther]

its ok

hell be back

[jaunty mango]

yea

i just wanted to ask him something since hes been helping me with my graphics problems so he would know the most about what im asking

if some one else can help id happily explain my predicament and maybe get an opinion on what i think my options are

[magic wing]

What happened?!

[solemn panther]

i think he has covid

[halcyon plover]

Thermal pads will be here to day , I will replace them at the weekend.

[visual nest]

Hope he has a mild case if that is what he has.

[magic wing]

Ahh crap

Wish him the best from me

[solemn panther]

Yeah

[heady turtle]

Ohh crap hope he's doing okay

[heady turtle]

Let me know how it goes btw

[halcyon plover]

👍 will probably do it tommorow

[heady turtle]

Good luck

[halcyon plover]

Thanks

Btw is 70% alcohol good enough or should i try to get 90+?

[heady turtle]

Try get 90% but 70% will do

[hot folio]

I’m planning to sell my old pc to a friend any ideas for how much I should sell it?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6NWtfP

I’m thinking $600

[graceful kite]

Not bad. How used is it?

And make sure he won’t sell any of the parts himself lol

[hot folio]

I had it since about 2015-2016

Still works perfectly

He won’t, he’s upgrading from a original Acer Aspire 5

[graceful kite]

You could be nice and go $550 and a favor (food, a game, etc)

[hot folio]

So $600 would be the way to go? I’m not too keen on favors

Also would it be able to run games like monster hunter world/ red dead redemption 2 at 1080p 60+ FPS?

I don’t have those games so I’m not sure

[graceful kite]

Eehhhh probably, not familiar with amd graphics cards though

[livid idol]

GPU is lagging behind a bit but should be able to do 1080p at 60 on medium-high

[hot folio]

Oh ok that should be fine for him I think

[graceful kite]

He’ll be happy with that then

Better than any deal he could get right now with a prebuilt

[hot folio]

His budget is $600-700 rn

[livid idol]

Yeah I saw one prebuilt "deal" that had a first gen i3 in it and a gtx 1050 ti for that price lol

[hot folio]

Lmao that’s a ripoff

[livid idol]

And of course they don't SAY that it's a first gen, they just say "core i3" and then you have to Google the clock speed to find out which one it is

[hot folio]

They still make first gen i3s?

[livid idol]

Nope, it was "refurbished" on Newegg

Meaning they wanted to get rid of it so they threw a cheap GPU in it

[hot folio]

Ahh ok

Still a ripoff tho

[past cypress]

Almost everything in stock is a rip off

[glacial kelp]

3060 non TI for 1300 USD is way too much, right?

[livid idol]

Considering MSRP is $330 yes

[heady turtle]

600 would be a decent price i think considering the whole gpu market atm yeah

[heady turtle]

550 would be the max i would pay for a 3060

[glacial kelp]

Thanks. That's the cheapest I could find, and I just noticed it's a returned GPU.

So it might have issues.

[glacial kelp]

I'd get one instantly with that price :))

[heady turtle]

Doubt any reasonable company would sell the gpu if it didn't work and they knew, most likely they found a better one soon after /decided against

[glacial kelp]

In my country reasonable if very flexible 😄

All big shops sell GPUs for 4-8 times the MSRP.

No shuffles or anything.

[heady turtle]

Still

At least they work

[glacial kelp]

True :))

[heady turtle]

That's what i mean

Never said good value lol

[glacial kelp]

Waiting for newegg EU version.

[heady turtle]

Heck rolex is a reasonable company that wont sell you a broken thing on purpose, terrible value

[glacial kelp]

Lol

True, very true

[heady turtle]

There's a Newegg in turkey and uk ;-;

But uk not eu anymore so might as well be buying from us at that rate

[glacial kelp]

I tried fiddling with Newegg UK for some reason I am redirected to the us store. Probably need a british proxy.

If I get a MSRP 3060 ti from UK with taxes I would still go way under anything on the market here.

And I am not sure if UK has shuffles and MSRPs

[heady turtle]

It doesn't but currys.co.uk drop often, or at least they did

[glacial kelp]

Thank you very much, will try to see if I can snatch one, although me not being an UK resident might be an issue.

[heady turtle]

Was debating getting one from uk but because the left the damm eu it would have been like 1.8x the price in the uk

[glacial kelp]

They should have remained :)) I also buy various stuff from UK, or at least used to.

Cheaper than here before the split. Now I have no idea

[heady turtle]

Yeah that could be an issue, you could see if there's a postal service thing in the uk to your country

But try caseking.de as well

[glacial kelp]

Excellent, bookmarked both, and will follow them daily 154 times

[heady turtle]

Or i can let you know of a stock checker bot that you run on pc and can configure for most stores in europe

It do be cpu intensive a bit tho

Also stock informer uk is good if you end up importing too

[glacial kelp]

Please do, I can test it, I have multiple laptops PCs in the household.

[heady turtle]

Stock informer UK is a site with alerts for currys, ebuyer etc

[heady turtle]

It's called street merchant

It's on GitHub but it shows you how to set up

[glacial kelp]

Thanks, bookmarked too.

[glacial kelp]

And thank you. I can get it from there.

[heady turtle]

Nb, the stock informer you can actually leave the tab open, it auto refreshes and will play an alert if you click it in the top right corner iirc

[glacial kelp]

"runs 24/7, 365, looking for the items you want." neato 😄

[heady turtle]

Yep

[glacial kelp]

I have no idea how it works, one would think that your ip would get banned. Or they use a private network of proxies :))

[timid narwhal]

https://youtu.be/Z11LZRUyPmU?t=700

someone asked the other day about this subject

[glacial kelp]

Love the mustache from the guy on the right 😄

I mean the other right 😄 That's left.

[heady turtle]

I doubt tbh,crypto is back up, fe cards won't even be lhr which means there's still non lhr cards on the market and lhr cards only target eth anyway, you can still mine raven etc

[timid narwhal]

When the LHR cards come out, im gonna try trade my 3070 for 3070ti or 3080ti

[glacial kelp]

I have a better offer. I trade you my 1060 for your 3070+300 USD.

[timid narwhal]

you drive a hard bargain, but ill take your offer of a 3090 for my 3070

[glacial kelp]

Did you try the umoderated option for stock informer? Is it too hardcore?

[heady turtle]

Ehh i haven't seen that, i haven't used it in a few months, can you send a ss?

[glacial kelp]

https://prnt.sc/13h8ynq

[heady turtle]

I'd go full, you might get more false positives but means there's no delay for a mod to check on it

[glacial kelp]

True, thanks.

That's how sharks are born 😄 Get msrp gpus from various websites, resell them triple price. =))

You have created a monster! 😛

In such moments I start to love China. Like they just did, they warned all local metal producers not to raise prices based on the growing demand from outside China.

I'd like to see that in Western countries. With GPUs =))

[vital pivot]

Bestbuy has started the stock drop

[karmic crag]

^^^

go go go

[drowsy kiln]

Drop seems slower today

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[raven thunder]

in the us....

no love for our canadian friends

[cerulean rover]

nice

[vital pivot]

And then it said Fu

[cerulean rover]

?

[raven thunder]

bro................................. bb us got like 10 drops the past month while bb canada got like none

[drowsy kiln]

BestBuy only does two drops a month lol

[vital pivot]

Yeah well complain to your crappy bb

Sold out

[drowsy kiln]

Sadly. Never even got the add to cart button to show up, might have been too late to get into the queue

[raven thunder]

i got into the queue for the us and was able to get to the step where it asks you to pick up but i can't cause im not in the us

[cerulean rover]

sad

[raven thunder]

bb in canada is actually a joke

[tender mulch]

I mean, I waited in the queue for 40 minutes before I got my 3070

[raven thunder]

how does the bb queue system work?

[tender mulch]

First add to cart puts you in, wait for it to turn yellow again, then check out as fast as you can

Don't refresh the page once you've hit add to cart

[raven thunder]

oh so you have to be on that tab for 40 minutes?

[tender mulch]

Cuz you'll go to th e back of the line

[raven thunder]

oh i refreshed the first time and still got to the checkout process

that was a really large drop

[green harness]

This drop seemed quite small, at least in my area

[raven thunder]

pretty sure it was one of the largest, the stream im in has like 25 people who were able to get cards which is more than average tbh, not sure tho

[green harness]

Relatively few SKUs went live today in my area and they seemed to sell out faster than usual today. I'm pretty sure everything is already gone but I'm still sitting in queue for a few things. I think it's just the bug that leaves you in queue while there's nothing to buy though

[raven thunder]

yup probably, i somehow got there early tdy ig

[novel edge]

i refreshed one of my tabs 😐

[slim vessel]

i'm liking todays shuffle

[green harness]

oof got an FE in my cart and then it was gone

[novel edge]

How's the Best Buy drop supposed to work? It was on please wait, it switched to add to cart but gave the same message at the top that I was supposed to wait

[keen nacelle]

weird shuffle today

[green harness]

That means it went oos super fast I think

I've had that happen. I've sat on please wait for like an hour to have it go yellow, click ATC, and it says the item is not available or something

[quiet yacht]

Anyone else have dead fans on their 1650?

[novel edge]

how do you know when BB is going to do a drop?

[tender mulch]

FixitFixitFixit Youtube channel or something

[novel edge]

why is everything bundled so hard on this shuffle? do new builders even exist in this market?

[slim vessel]

i'm needing to replace everything in my build anyways

[cerulean rover]

Yes, a lot of them

[fossil talon]

BB Canada had the weirdest time for a drop today. 8am PST but only for 3070/3080/3090 Zotac cards

[heady turtle]

Anyone get lucky with the bb drop?

[karmic crag]

nope

[snow wharf]

not here either

[vital pivot]

I got to final checkout page

[hot folio]

Today’s shuffle is really weird

I didn’t even know there is was a BB drop

Sucks to be in school

Next time there’s a drop could you DM/@ me?

[plush comet]

Same pls dm or @ me if there is a drop cause i could really use a gpu

[glacial kelp]

Don't dm me, but follow the website, get a 3060 ti at MSRP and then send it over to me.

[winged stag]

I need help I can’t make my mind up. Which 3070 or 3080 to get. I’m on the fence with Msi asus.

I want rgb too

[green harness]

Get the one you can actually buy at/near msrp

[winged stag]

Near considering it’s a build. But it also has other parts. Like the 2 included ram to fill my current board. Pretty much doin a parts swap. I’ve always been intel but wanna play with amd.

[green harness]

I personally would prefer something from EVGA or Asus, but it's whatever you can get rn

[winged stag]

Noted thanks for the input everyone.

[glacial kelp]

MSI?

[cerulean rover]

I like EVGA and MSI, but preferences are preferences

[winged stag]

Taking into consideration what I looked into I am leaning towards MSI over a Evga

[winged stag]

Try I do feel like msi makes good products never owned one.

[cerulean rover]

I mean, GPU Warranty wise, EVGA is better than MSI

[green harness]

I personally think MSI is shady. As Mr1111 said preferences are preferences.

[cerulean rover]

ye, MSI PR is shady as heck (Bribing reviewers for laptop reviews a bit back)

but products fine

[winged stag]

😱

[green harness]

EVGA probably has the best customer service and warranty support of any AIB, but that doesn't mean other cards are bad

[tame birch]

I've had really good luck with EVGA I've had 1 RMA in 8 cards and they were really easy to work with in getting it replaced

[green harness]

I've got a Gigabyte right now and it's fine. It'll be better with a repaste/pad

[winged stag]

I’m not looking forward to any rma.

[cerulean rover]

I've only heard bad things about Asus RMA

[tame birch]

But I don't know that I can be picky with GPUs at the moment

[winged stag]

I just want this gtx 650 gone!

[tame birch]

I sign up for the shuffle every day and haven't won a card yet I'm to the point where I'll take a 6900 if I can get it.

[cerulean rover]

EVGA is great warranty wise, but some cards do be a bit on the wacky end

[green harness]

Keep signing up and collecting Ls. I was surprised as heck when I got an offer to buy from the shuffle, you never know when it'll happen

[novel edge]

you can join the fixitfixitfixit discord, they have channels corresponding to each card with in stock notifications

[tame birch]

I'm on that one as well 🙂

[novel edge]

I just joined it this morning, I guess I'm committing to the full sweat

but I refuse to stand in line at Micro Center even though I'd already have a card 😅

[glacial kelp]

I'd also go MSI and Asus over everything else.

[novel edge]

are the evga hybrids only available through their site?

[cerulean rover]

I'd still take EVGA over both of them lel
mainly because of warranty things

[glacial kelp]

Do they offer extra years?

[cerulean rover]

Here's the chart

Asus doesn't let you OC or replace the cooler

MSI just has less years of warranty, and 3rd year costs monie for labor

[tame birch]

Nice chart

[glacial kelp]

I see, interesting. I don't OC, but it's good to know.

[cerulean rover]

EVGA gives you up to 5-10 years with registration and fee

Forks pinned it actually

[glacial kelp]

Evga just went top :))

Evga MSI and Asus

[tame birch]

EVGA kind of makes you feel like part of their community when you register as well

[cerulean rover]

[tender mulch]

NGL, I'm a EVGA fanboy

XD

[cerulean rover]

I also like evga, nice company

[novel edge]

I don't think I had a card other than evga but not purposefully

[heady turtle]

EEEE

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/simp-simping-yelling-meryl-streep-shouting-gif-17852144

[graceful kite]

I’ll simp for evga

[vital pivot]

I am definitely a EVGA fanboy. I own so much evga product My wife calls my office the evga room.

[spare relic]

evga makes the best aib cards from what I gather?

and best warranty stuff

[drowsy kiln]

Yea definitely the best warranty, not totally sure if they are the best AIBs out there but they are one of the best especially for the cost of them.

They aren't too much over MSRP (In a normal year)

[vital pivot]

In fact. I just ordered the new evga G6 1000watt Psu

Now if only I could order a 3080 that easy

[heady turtle]

Asus make some pretty good aib cards too afaik

[spare relic]

yea

[vital pivot]

Every AIB makes a great product, but none of them treats the customer like evga does.

[hot folio]

I wouldn’t say every AIB

[cerulean rover]

it's just "it depends" for everything

[hot folio]

Lmao someone in another discord I’m in was asking how to fix his gpu

I asked him what’s wrong with it

Kid you not he says “I snapped it in half”

[cerulean rover]

how

HOW

[hot folio]

I’m trying to figure that out now

[cerulean rover]

maybe they raged very hard and the heatsink was a smol one

[green harness]

uhhhh

HOW

[green harness]

Did they have it in a test bench and they leaned on it?

[cerulean rover]

3090

uh

uhhhh

[green harness]

ok

Someone has more money than sense

[cerulean rover]

UHHHHHHHHHH

[hot folio]

That 3090 was just a joke someone made

[green harness]

Please have them mail me a 3090 to keep in reserve for when they break the next one in half

[cerulean rover]

ah

[green harness]

oh, nuts

[hot folio]

I really doubt it was a 3090

I really hope it was some cheap gt710 or something

[cerulean rover]

or 1030

[green harness]

I wouldn't even treat my 710 that poorly, but to each their own

[cerulean rover]

those are usually thin and break-in-half-able

[green harness]

I want that thing in case I run into any issues as my debug card

[hot folio]

My debug card for now is an rx480

Until I then sell it

Which should be in about a month

[green harness]

Any word on what they killed and how?

[timid narwhal]

pics?

[green harness]

Broke it in half swatting a fly?

[hot folio]

They’re offline rn

[normal hawk]

Yooooo

I won something

The Xbox Series S 😂

[hot folio]

Nice

[normal hawk]

Can put RetroArch on it 🤷‍♂️

[hot folio]

Screw you Newegg

[normal hawk]

Lol

[hot folio]

Congrats tho

What did you win?

[normal hawk]

Ye i hate those 2

The Xbox series s

[hot folio]

Nice

I only signed up for the 6800, 6800xt, and 6900xts

[normal hawk]

I signed up for everything

[hot folio]

Personally I’m not really interested in console

[novel edge]

why not? apparent you can run 4k at 120hz for $500

[hot folio]

Because I’m looking for a gpu to upgrade my current work pc

Right now it has an artifacting RX480 inside of it

And unless I can rip a GPU out of an Xbox I’m not interested in a console

[novel edge]

https://youtu.be/HCvE4JGJujk

[novel edge]

shhh, don't let the console peasants know that

[graceful kite]

I still want a regular series x without paying a scalped price

[novel edge]

Yeah, I got the game pass because the show is finally on Xbox but it clearly isn't optimized to run on an Xbox One S

how did the 6900xt make it all the way to being $2600?

[timid narwhal]

CAPITALISM!

[novel edge]

the reference is $999, plus it's more than most 3090s

[covert forge]

yo dude what i realized ab ur pfp is in the first ep he trains his son, but in ep 8 his son gets trained

[graceful kite]

[thin musk]

whats a good gpu under 300

[heady turtle]

Funny

[heady turtle]

Probably a used rx 580 or 1650 super if you're lucky

oh they are too xpensive

like 500 used

overpriced :/

[tender mulch]

I got em

[granite obsidian]

I mean even if it were normal price, it would be a result of capitalism. The fact that it exists is because of capitalism. That statement is quite stupid

[timid narwhal]

deep breath. no need for name calling. I made a joke, if you dont get it, thats fine

[granite obsidian]

I know it’s a joke, sorry for “name calling” lol

I would like to clarify however, my statement was not directed towards you as you seem to have perceived. I apologize for my poor choice of vocabulary - “stupid” was an inappropriate word to use in that context. @timid narwhal

[timid narwhal]

its all good

[novel edge]

I think greed is a better summation

[raw garnet]

just accidentally won a newegg shuffle, but its too expensive :,(

just my luck

[novel edge]

what'd you win?

[raw garnet]

ASrock 6900xt + B550 Mobo

[spare relic]

if it's too expensive don't enter to win xd

[novel edge]

rip, don't forget the CPU in that bundle as well

[raw garnet]

yeah i kinda clicked it out of recklessness because I usually dont win anything

[novel edge]

like I'd be fine with an amd card but my issue is that they cost more than their nvidia counterparts right now

[raw garnet]

so true

[hot folio]

How much is it?

[raw garnet]

2539.98$

[heady turtle]

Eww

Better off buying a scalped 3080 at that price

And then spend the other 550 on a r9 5900x r sum XD

[junior delta]

I won teh 6700XT + ASrock Mobo for $1114.

Seems expensive.

[tender mulch]

AMD GPu's are expensive

[novel edge]

third-party amd gpu's are expensive

[tender mulch]

6700XT's go for like $800-$900 except AMD.com

[junior delta]

Word. WElp, my friend needs a GPU, so I went ahead an bought it.

[novel edge]

that one didn't force you to get a cpu, right?

Any gpu drops?

[novel edge]

loads

[late haven]

there was a 3060 on amazon for $333 yesterday

i saw the add to cart button but the bots got it before i could

[cerulean rover]

I would say that has a high chance of just being fake

[cerulean rover]

non-round pricing is usually just some 3rd party seller screwing around and trying to scam

mhm

[late haven]

dam

[cerulean rover]

there were some like 3$ 3080 listings on amazon not too long ago

[novel edge]

yeah, bs anyone would sell it used under msrp

[cerulean rover]

only place for a sub 400$ 3060 I would trust is 330$ 3060 xc from EVGA themselves

Wegg and Amazon upped the price to 400$ recently iirc

[novel edge]

This is still getting to me

[cerulean rover]

lol

[novel edge]

like I'm tempted because I want a card but that's more than my entire system, including my current card

[cerulean rover]

just don't

[dawn narwhal]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-rtx-3070-dual-rtx3070-o8g/p/N82E16814126459 , 24 hours ago this card went up for 1700 on the newegg site, 12 hours later it want back down

[cerulean rover]

prob 3rd party sellers

[dawn narwhal]

it was sold and shipped by newegg

i think it broke the record of longst time a 3070 was up on newegg

[novel edge]

probably the same intern that did the kettle shuffle

[dawn narwhal]

lol

[cerulean rover]

meh, I'd assume it was some 3rd party seller

Because I'm pretty sure Newegg doesn't set the prices, they should adhere to their supplier (Asus in this case) retail pricing

[dawn narwhal]

still, it could be a light at the end of the tunnel for some buyers, or maybe it was saved up and sold befre the 3070 ti launch

[cerulean rover]

eh

we'll have to see what 3070ti even is

When will GPU and CPU prices come down and there will be plenty of stock?

[noble iris]

No one knows yet

[livid idol]

About a year and a half

CPUs aren't as bad though, they've mostly stabilized the stock

How do i pull this cable out

?

I tried for 15 min

Nothing works

[heady turtle]

I've heard people using flat head screwdrivers?

[halcyon plover]

Idk i might try and replace without pulling out the cable

It doesnt go out

[heady turtle]

@mighty island since you're online, you any idea about this?

[mighty island]

uhh

is that a gpu fan header

normally there's a slightly flared base that you can wedge your fingernails under and slowly wiggle it out while applying upward force

picture is too unclear to tell if that base exists there

[halcyon plover]

Thanks!

Wait it actually came with thermal pads :o

[halcyon plover]

Ofc it has

Just not on the backplate

[heady turtle]

Fair fair

The dust already lol

[novel edge]

I walked into my Micro Center last month and they had 20+ of each AMD cpu at msrp, last time I was in there they still had at least 10+. GPUs is a completely different story

[heady turtle]

5800x and 5600x are usually still in stock/come back in stock quickly but 5950x and 5900x are still a bit rare although intels cpus haven't had problems at all

@halcyon plover did the 3070 breakdown end up being the same as 3080 btw?

[fading citrus]

Microcenter is not in India

[novel edge]

I looked at the shuffle, saw some 6900xts, saw the prices, and closed the shuffle

[halcyon plover]

Yes they are pretty much the same

I had to go for an hour to eat so didnt finish yet

Will send a pic when i do

[heady turtle]

Nice

[glacial kelp]

CPU prices are close to MSRP in my country for all top ones. Not sure about the average lowers ones.

GPU on the other hand, it's hell

[raven thunder]

is a rx6900xt worth 1400?

[drowsy kiln]

MSRP was $1000 iirc so depends, is it worth an extra $400 to you?

[raven thunder]

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00115179

if anyone wants it

[raven thunder]

idk not really looking for a rx6900xt but seems not too overpriced

[cerulean rover]

already gone it seems

[raven thunder]

yup lol

but they dropped 7 times over the past 5 hours

[glacial kelp]

If you can afford 1000 then 1400 it's not far. I would go for it.

[raven thunder]

so it will most likely come back again in the next 45 minute or so

[raven thunder]

how much performence does a rx6900xt offer? as in compared to say the 3080

sorry i dont know much about amd gpus

[glacial kelp]

I am not a pro either, you should probably ask other people. Somewhere between 3080 and 90?

[drowsy kiln]

GIve or take 25% behind an RTX 3090

[cerulean rover]

6900xt might even be better than 3090 in pure raster iirc

[drowsy kiln]

Depends on game, but 3090 gives Nvenc and also Ray-tracing

[raven thunder]

oh yea.... mhm, ray tracing

[cerulean rover]

well, prob not quite better, but close

[raven thunder]

idk mhmmmmm, i dont need that much performence so a rx6900xt is prob a waste

[drowsy kiln]

Yea. They are pretty close, but Nvenc is a huge draw to Nvidia currently for a lot of people

[cerulean rover]

nvenc nvidia studio things shadowplay dlss rtx etc

lots of features

[glacial kelp]

Cheapest 6900 in my country is 3000 USD.

1400 was a bargain :))

[raven thunder]

it's cad

[drowsy kiln]

Also didn't see that it was a memx link so was actually $1150 USD so very close to MSRP

[raven thunder]

so even better but the problem is

atm nvida still has so many more features right

and i dont really need that much performence so i feel like im wasting money and not even getting all the features i want

idk honestly but if anyone else wants it and lives in canada then just be on the lookout in the next hour or so

prob will drop again

[glacial kelp]

If anyone in EU can't get a MSRP CPU, I can do a CPU GPU exchange on MSRP price for a 3060ti versus the CPU of your choice and difference 😛

Anytime.

[glacial kelp]

Someone here said that the ray tracing is not really a thing yet, I mean most people won't use it. And a few other things are exclusively for streamers.

So most extra features aren't really a thing between AMD and nvidia

[karmic crag]

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

rule 9

[glacial kelp]

It's good that at least some people read the rules.

[drowsy kiln]

Not even just exclusive to streamers. Keep in mind people run apps like Outplayed that record their gameplay while they are playing games, better to use Nvenc there than either CPU or AMDs encoders.

[green harness]

DLSS and decent RT performance are not bad to have for anyone

[raven thunder]

i mean, if you are getting something that you are probably gonna use for the next couple years, youd probably want the most features evne if said features aren't that advanced yet

[green harness]

They aren't implemented widely yet, but they're much more relevant now than they were for 20-series

[glacial kelp]

Definitely so.

[raven thunder]

so its a toss, i have no idea what to think

[glacial kelp]

What I know is that streaming/recording means nothing for me. So that doesn't matter. Ray tracing, hell knows.

I mean if ray tracing will be a thing that really matters in 3 years time, I wouldn't bother with it now.

For 5% of the games, or 1%

Of course, that's me :))

[raven thunder]

lol

[green harness]

Yeah, that's fair. I don't think it'll be anything like a required feature for at least another generation if not more

[raven thunder]

yup but who knows how advanced and implemented things like dlss and ray ray tracing will be

[green harness]

For now I think it's a nice to have if you're looking at getting something maybe 3060Ti and up

[green harness]

Yeah, dlss is a really nice feature to have at this point imo

[cerulean rover]

AMD needs to make their supersampling thing better

[glacial kelp]

My goal is a 3060ti. Moreover because I also don't plan to go away from dual screen 22inch, maybe upgrade to at most 23.

[raven thunder]

lol that 6900xt just dropped again

[raven thunder]

same but i have a 27inch i believe

[cerulean rover]

DLSS just allows NVidia to hit harder

[raven thunder]

i really wanna run flight sim

[cerulean rover]

does fs2020 support dlss yet?

[raven thunder]

idek lol, i dont really watch fs vids because i kinda wanna explore it by myself

[magic wing]

nope

[glacial kelp]

A genius: "Yeah the only reason why I’m preordering is because there will be a massive shortage… everyone is at home and everyone will try to get their hands on this gpus. I mean you can already see all the 2080tis for sale online lol"

Someone ordered a GPU at the end of the summer because he believed this

Damn smart

Lol, they were complaining that 2080 ti were about 300 pounds =)) They had no idea what is coming.

No, 245 pounds, and they called it crazy.

[raven thunder]

wtf man is a psychic

imagine buying a hundred 2080tis last year and reselling them for 800 dollar profit each thats kinda stupid how much money someone could have made

[halcyon plover]

@heady turtle

[heady turtle]

It slightly edges out in just raster over the 3090 yeah

[heady turtle]

1400 cad for a 6900xt is a steal

[heady turtle]

Looking good,you did the backplate too I'm assuming?

[halcyon plover]

Yeah

Used 2 mm

And for the front 1.5 and 1

[heady turtle]

Looking good

[cerulean rover]

Neat

[heady turtle]

You think it's gonna help with mem stability too?

[cerulean rover]

Prob

[timid narwhal]

sorry if im late to the party, what GPU is this?

[halcyon plover]

3070 gigabyte

[tender mulch]

Yo uhaving issues with memory stability on a 3070?

[halcyon plover]

I hope it does doing some testing atm

No i dont

[tender mulch]

GDDR6 doesn't get hot like GDDR6X does

[halcyon plover]

But i still replaced

[heady turtle]

Not really but I'm hoping i can oc it more/get a few less rejected shares while mining at+1300 or more if it's stable after i pad it

I get about a rejected share/day ish hoping to decrease that

[tender mulch]

1300 is about the max for a 3070 TBH

I can mine at that speed but not game, for gaming I gotta knock it down a level or two

[graceful kite]

How good are those 3070’s in todays shuffle

[tender mulch]

Asus pretty good

[heady turtle]

Yeah didn't think could go higher but improve my number of reject shares would be nice, also gigabytes pads are known to leak

[tender mulch]

Of course. What's your core at?

Also, there's a new version of Trex out now, 0.20.4

[heady turtle]

I'm at -502 but run it at 900ish mhz because power is down at 45%

Woops wrong message replied to

[tender mulch]

Huh, I find that affects my hashrate too much

I'm down around like, -250

[heady turtle]

Really?

I'm getting 61mhs rn

[timid narwhal]

thought so. have the same one. was getting worried

[heady turtle]

this my settings

[tender mulch]

Power limit is pretty low, should be 50-60 if you're going to do that instead of V/F curve

Bu tif it works it works

Every card is different

[heady turtle]

yeah

i get between 58 and 61mhs with that

57 now because i opened disc on pc and have hardware accel on because i play cpu intensive titles so better fps wise for gpu to handle

but i mean

cant complain much about that i dont hink

[green harness]

which card is that?

[heady turtle]

I gain up to 1mhs maybe with 60% power not worth the extra heat/waste of electricity imo

[heady turtle]

Gigabyte gaming oc 3070

[green harness]

ah, I'm going to open up my gaming oc 3080 for the same this weekend

Looks good!

[heady turtle]

Yeah gigabytes 3080 was done dirty

[green harness]

Yeah, it's really just the memory temps. In some games it hits 100-110

Otherwise it runs well and the core temps are fine

[heady turtle]

Yeah toasty mem

[lone pond]

any good thermal pads ? 🤔

[tame birch]

This is the shuffle that will land me a nice card I can feel it 🙂 🤞

[tender mulch]

Shuffle is live! https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

[karmic crag]

decent shuffle today actually

[tame birch]

agreed

[halcyon plover]

I used gelid extreme

[lone pond]

no 3080 or 90 so

[tame birch]

I remember the days when I felt I could choose my video card, good times!

[vital pivot]

I remember the days when you can buy graphic cards at the local Office Depot or Best Buy.

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/grumpy-dana-carvey-back-in-my-day-angry-gif-16063472

[novel edge]

seriously, I bought more ram that matched some I bought last year in October and it cost $70 more

but it all honesty, m.2 prices, those are getting low af

[tender mulch]

Good 1Tb ones still $100+

[heady turtle]

Nvmes are basically the same price as sata drives atm tho

[tender mulch]

That doesn't seem right

PCPP has price tracking history

According to them the average price is pretty much the same for DDR4-3600 for example

[heady turtle]

Some specific kits have gone up a lot, most likely a 32 or 64gb kit tho

[tender mulch]

Could be ya

[heady turtle]

Because i know someone who bought a large kit of lpx and the same lpx is now like 100 more

[novel edge]

might just be the one I got

[heady turtle]

It's jut your specific kit

[solemn panther]

BAH

shuffle sucks

current one i mean

[tender mulch]

Wow, that kit all over the place

[lone pond]

I got crucial ballistix rgb 3200mhz for 65$ last black friday lol 😂

[heady turtle]

What kit you have inept?

[novel edge]

yep, but I wanted to have all 4 sticks be the exact same model

[heady turtle]

[solemn panther]

welcome back vintage. did most of the symptoms subside a bit? @tender mulch

[lone pond]

now its 109$ 😳

[novel edge]

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236606?Item=N82E16820236606

[heady turtle]

Ahh corsiar ram all over the place pricing wise

Especially 32gb+

[tender mulch]

Fever gone today

[lone pond]

it was 150 last year

[solemn panther]

good to hear

[tender mulch]

I felt Dead on Wednesday

not gonna lie

[novel edge]

for the m.2s I was saying compared to when I originally made the upgrade. in 2017 I got the 960 evo 500gb for $250, now you can get the 980 pro 1tb for $200

[heady turtle]

Oof you end up getting covid vintage ?

[tender mulch]

no, 2nd vaccine kicked my hind end

[heady turtle]

Ahhh

[green harness]

Ah, sorry to hear you had a strong reaction, but I'm glad you got the shot and are through the worst of it

[tender mulch]

Ya but Samsung drives generally overpriced to begin with

[heady turtle]

Heard the 2nd dose can be very hard on some people yeah

[tender mulch]

There are generally faster, better drives available for less

[heady turtle]

P31 and pilot e cough cough

[glacial kelp]

What's faster and cheaper?

[tender mulch]

The big key to drives is not the Sequential speed also

[glacial kelp]

I already have one Samsung but for the next ones I can go cheaper and faster :))

[tender mulch]

it's the random I/O

[glacial kelp]

I have a pro 980

[tender mulch]

Which is real world use

[novel edge]

who uses their computers in the real world though?

[tender mulch]

I mean, the SK Hynix P31 gold is Gen 3 and mostly spanks Gen 4 drives in real world use, random IO

[novel edge]

I like that this is the direction we're going

[heady turtle]

Gen 4 atm is stupid

[tame birch]

what? no included fan?

[cerulean rover]

no, the performance is just not useful

[craggy tundra]

dude i am going to buy an aio for my nvme

[heady turtle]

Don't think you can buy that heatsink your you ssd also that's gonna cause clearance issues with some mobo/tower cooler combos

[spare relic]

Or gpu

Or misc. Expansion card

Or cables

[novel edge]

no clue how this would fit under/around my gpu

[winged stag]

@glacial kelp yeah I was like aha that’s how he gets all his stuff. I gotta good deal for everything. I can say I’m finally a rtx 3080 owner.

[tender mulch]

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

That applies to DM's as well

[lone pond]

Whats the best gpu under 300 dollars that i can get right now currently?

[craggy tundra]

is the 2070s a good card today

[tender mulch]

It is but not for the price they're going for

[craggy tundra]

oh thanks

i got it last year and i just wanted to know if it's still a good graphics card in today's standards of gpus

[tender mulch]

OH yeah

[drowsy kiln]

For $300 your looking at a GTX 1650 or GTX 980 most likely. Trying to think of anything else that would be better.

Maybe a 1650 Super/1660 gonna take some looking for those

[lone pond]

If you find any can you send me the link? Thanks

[solemn dome]

​12gb 3060 xc (non TI) vs 8gb 3070 3x OC any big difference in performance?

[green harness]

3070 is much faster

[solemn dome]

noticeably faster?

[green harness]

Probably depends on exactly what you're doing

[cerulean rover]

remember that vram doesn't do much in most performance metrics

[tender mulch]

3070 is like 40-50% faster than 3060

[green harness]

Just eyeballing some benchmarks the 3070 looks like it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-50% faster

[tender mulch]

3060TI is 30% faster than 3060

[cerulean rover]

Even spec wise, 3070 has 1.65 times the SUs as 3060

[solemn dome]

light/medium gaming, some photo/video editing - was wondering about the ram difference

[glacial kelp]

Unless you play xk in Bethesda games 😄

[cerulean rover]

meh

[tender mulch]

VRAm qty is relatively inconsequential

[cerulean rover]

mhm

[cerulean rover]

3070 demolishes 3060 basically

[solemn dome]

thanks

[cerulean rover]

none of those things particularly care about vram

[solemn dome]

what about cad/3d modeling?

[cerulean rover]

depends on program

most shouldn't care still

[tender mulch]

3060 VRAM bus width is small

[solemn dome]

thanks again

[tender mulch]

compared to the others

The quantity doesn't ouweight the speed deficit

[cerulean rover]

ya, 3060 has 192 bit memory bus, 3070 has 256 bit bus

[willow basalt]

ty

[heady turtle]

#rules

[acoustic ginkgo]

But a 3060 isn't bad if it's all you can get and you have an older card or are coming up from a laptop GPU.

[heady turtle]

Perfectly good just not a huge upgrade from a 2060/super

[analog shore]

I wasn't sure what channel this question would fit into best and this seemed like the closest option
I want to get a usb expansion card for my PC. I have found this one on Amazon that looks to be good. The reviews seem ok. I wanted to get others opinion on it to see if there's any reason why it wouldn't be good.
I currently plug in mouse, keyboard, webcam, 2 external hard drives(these have mains power supply to them), soon to also have a scanner plugged in too. I'm sure there is something else but can't remember.
Would this be a good choice for me?
https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08PF8XR73/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_24EHXG0V1BSRJ8H4HZSA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[tender mulch]

Could also just do a hub like this https://smile.amazon.com/Sabrent-Individual-Switches-Included-HB-UMP3/dp/B00TPMEOYM

[analog shore]

I want to have the USBs internal to my machine. I already have enough cables crawling out the back of my machine as is yet alone adding that in too 😂

[tender mulch]

No problem

That card will work fine then

[analog shore]

Ok thanks

nice to finally get an answer from somoene. I asked in the buildapc discord earlier today and just got ignored....which usually happens

[tender mulch]

Sorry to hear that

:/

[clever pagoda]

You guys think it's bad I hadn't got a notify from evga for my 3070 I put a notify on back in January?

[green harness]

No, that sounds normal. You can check where the queue is at by looking at enewt's updates: https://tinyurl.com/bc2c3zdx, and you can check your notifies to see if they've popped on the EVGA website https://www.evga.com/community/myNotifies.asp

[hot folio]

That’s perfectly normal

[clever pagoda]

So if I'm reading the queue correct they're on notifies from November?

[hot folio]

Is 3200 a good price for a prebuilt with a 5950x,3080, and trident Z neo 32Gb 3600?

[novel edge]

based on the msrp of current 3080s 😅

send link, some base components might be trash

[hot folio]

If the rest of the components are trash I’m fine with it

It’s an A320 mobo

But I’m buying to it scavenge for parts

I’d be putting the cpu into a crosshair VIII

PSU is some no name thing, but I’d be using a Corsair HX750

[green harness]

Depends on the card

[clever pagoda]

3070 xc

[novel edge]

you can find a 5950x for or around msrp so most of that price is coming from the gpu

[green harness]

Which exact SKU

There are multiple 3070 XC3 SKUs

[hot folio]

Oh yeah that’s true, I’d be paying about 1.5k for the 3080

Bad idea now that I think about it

[novel edge]

3080ti drops next week, maybe try for that and then replan afterwards if unsuccessful

[clever pagoda]

I only got the part num

[novel edge]

and looking at evga's list is depressing

[green harness]

Which is?

[clever pagoda]

08G-P5-3751-KR

08G-P5-3753-KR

[novel edge]

go hit up Melinda

[clever pagoda]

Oh so it's all the way back in October lol right?

[hot folio]

Where should I be looking for the 3080ti drop?

[novel edge]

everywhere, should be Thursday

seems like that may be throttling hash rates to make them less appealing to miners but they probably already found a way around that so 🤷‍♂️

[clever pagoda]

wonder what msrp is gonna be

probably like 1k

[novel edge]

depends, 3080 fe is $700, so the base would likely be under 900, aib over 1k

[green harness]

3751 is still on sign ups from October 29th. I signed up on October 30th and don't expect an offer to purchase anytime soon.
3753 is in the same situation

[clever pagoda]

that be a sad face

[green harness]

Yeah, I feel ya

I only signed up for two such queues on October 30th\

If I'd spammed em I could have gotten an offer by now

[clever pagoda]

Doesn't that mean that you're next up?

[green harness]

It's only very rarely moving and when it moves it's seconds to minutes of movement

So sadly no

[fading citrus]

I wish microcenter were in India

And all of newegg also

[magic wing]

uhhh

newegg has an indian site

[fading citrus]

Yes it has but the shuffle is not there in India

Are the returns hassle free from India?

[magic wing]

hassle free enough

What you on about you can participate in shuffles from india lmao

[livid idol]

No, you can't ship to any address but a US address from shuffle

[magic wing]

FR?

Hm strange

[livid idol]

Yeah it's not exactly advertised but you definitely need at a minimum a PO box in the US

[magic wing]

Ahhh I see

I have a lot of family in the states tho so I can ship it to them and they can ship to me

[heady turtle]

Yeah that works with shuffle afaik

[mellow glen]

3080ti drops next week tho?

what day

thurs?

[queen snow]

can someone reccomend me some parts to go with a 3060-3070? (in the price range of 2.5k)

[mellow glen]

id recommend ryzen 7

decent price

great performance

[queen snow]

alright

thank you

[mellow glen]

if you have the money, ryzen 9

but might be overkill for 3060/70

[queen snow]

im only looking to spend 2.5k-3k

[mellow glen]

i think ryzen7 is amazing for price/performance

[queen snow]

alright sounds good

[mellow glen]

definitely get m.2 ssd

[queen snow]

thank you

will do

[mellow glen]

no problem, in that price range you could definitely get at least those 3

maybe extra hard drive/ssd for storage, prolly 750w PSU, 32gb ram also shouldnt be bad

[queen snow]

could i get all of these parts in a prebuilt?

[mellow glen]

gpu/cpu>ram>m.2 ssd>ssd/hardrive>PSU>

mmm probably? If you can I definitely recommend building it yourself

typically prebuilts are more expensive

[queen snow]

i dont think i could build it myself

[dreamy dragon]

krissy#0140 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[queen snow]

oops

[mellow glen]

Honestly, the first time i built my computer was when i was like 14, I just used a youtube vid but if you arent comfortable doing that then you can go for a prebuilt

you could find one with very similar specs if not the same, at the very least you'd want the 3060 and the cpu

the rest can kinda be added/replaced

3060/70

but you might be waiting a while for a prebuilt

only downside

[queen snow]

alright

so

i should build my own?

only thing im worried about is if i forget to order a part or something

[mellow glen]

use this

https://pcpartpicker.com/

will check for compatibility, total your cost, and make sure you have everything

[queen snow]

oh

THANKS

can i order everything at one time?

[mellow glen]

no problem, it is a big help when building everything

hmm thats the tricky thing, it really depends on stock

and there are issues with stock atm, especially the GPU

You could, yes

provided everything you want is in stock

[queen snow]

alright thanks

my pc right now is so bad and i really need a new one so i was just a little confused

thanks for the helpo

help*

i have an i5 and a gt 750

and i run 30fps on the lowest graphics possible

i run 45 fps on MINECRAFT

[mellow glen]

yeah no problem, hopefully i could be of help

o yeah you are prolly due for an upgrade haha

[queen snow]

ive had my pc since i was 8

im 14 now

[mellow glen]

youll definitely feel the performance increase, thats for sure 🙂

[queen snow]

i hope so

anyway thank you for helping

[mellow glen]

np!

[unborn sedge]

Can I connect more monitors to my PC?
I've used up all the ports on the 3060Ti, and I recently changed CPUs to one with no iGPU.

[mellow glen]

you could get splitters

[unborn sedge]

I saw these, but they are ludicrously expensive: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Port-DisplayPort-MST-Hub/dp/B00JLRBB8I

[timid narwhal]

You want more than 4 monitors? Pics of the setup, gotta see this

[glacial kelp]

He is probably bicephalic

So you want to see a picture of him, not the monitors.

[unborn sedge]

lol

I have eyes on the back of my back

It's a mess rn as I'm redoing the cables

But I drive three monitors + VR headset so that takes the full I/O

Sometimes I plug in that CRT in which requires me to mess with cables. Also I drive a projector for watching movies with family which is another HDMI cable.

Yes, I really need to figure out a better layout for the monitors. Suggestions welcome haha. I have yet to purchase monitor arms

[glacial kelp]

I think I have seen some setups with 4 monitors in a square 2 above other 2

Of course the CRT doesn't qualify for that 😄

[unborn sedge]

lol

I don't need constant access to the CRT, I was thinking maybe putting it behind a modern monitor that I can move with an arm? I don't have any experience setting that up

[glacial kelp]

That it's probably doable

[unborn sedge]

I'd like at least one to be vertical for code reading, maybe the leftmost in that pic as it has the worst colors.

[glacial kelp]

And you need to put a few colorful pictures on the wall behind 😄

[unborn sedge]

yess

[glacial kelp]

I like the size of your desk 😄

And I am glad my desk is not the only messy one 😄

[unborn sedge]

haha thanks

[glacial kelp]

I went out this morning for a ride with the bicycle, and when I returned, the desk was cleared =)) I didn't appreciate that at all 😄

[unborn sedge]

Its crazy what computers can do these days

[unborn sedge]

I actually use that calculator on the left

[unborn sedge]

Any recommendations so I can plug more monitors in? Besides an 80€ splitter if possible haha

My mobo has video outputs but I'm not sure if I can use those without an iGPU? My CPU is a 10400F

[heady turtle]

Nope, does your 3060 ti not have 4 ports anyway? If you need more time to wack a gt710 in there

I drive three monitors, a Rift S, and sometimes the CRT in the picture as well as a projector (both use HDMI)

[normal hawk]

If they were the set prices that AMD advertised I'd be willing to buy one. But twice the MSRP? Ridiculous lol

[heady turtle]

Tbf don't exactly think that's amds fault

[normal hawk]

I don't think so either

[heady turtle]

Right then get an old gt710 or something on eBay and stick that into your setup

[unborn sedge]

Smart. That's three more outputs. Thanks for the help!

[vital pivot]

Invest in a matrix

[heady stratus]

Woah, that is one Old CRT Monitor. Looks like something I had in the early 90's

[unborn sedge]

Haha thanks. I wasn't around for that era, though I really like it for its refresh rate and older look.
I use it mainly to play the retro games to its right, but also when emulating them from my PC.

So many people tell me to get rid of it because it's out of place with the other monitors but I'm too attached to it.

[heady stratus]

I'm just amazed it still works

[unborn sedge]

Same tbh. It's been through so much. It was a friend's grandma's, and I hauled it to my house a couple years back. Then, we moved to France. I was scared it wouldn't work with the electricity here (there was no spec on the back, or the sticker was taken off) or get damaged in shipping, but somehow it survived.
I tested it outside in case it blew up or smth with the double voltage, but it was fine.

[heady stratus]

The last of my old CRTs bit the dirt like 12 years ago

Wonder if that's even profitable to sell retro 480p sets anymore

[novel edge]

I bought a 6900xt.... for below its msrp....

granted it's still an inflated price compared to the reference

[lone pond]

there is 1 impostor among us

[supple socket]

3060 vs 6700xt?

[glacial kelp]

3060ti 😄

[supple socket]

no

3060

not 3060 ti

[livid idol]

6700xt stomps the 3060 by 20-25%

[supple socket]

kk

[nova marlin]

Please someone help

My gpu doesn’t post

Anyonev

[last hatch]

more information needed

[nova marlin]

Like what?

[last hatch]

did it work before? If so, what changed

[nova marlin]

I downloaded cru, i restarted the pc. It showed the windows boot logo, but nothing else

Yes it worked before

I have the pc for 5 months now

[tender mulch]

What is CRU?

[nova marlin]

Custom Resolution Utility

It’s a program that stretched your display,

[tender mulch]

You downloaded it......what did you change?

[nova marlin]

The res

It restarted it a few times because i got black bars

And now it doesn’t post anymore than the windows startup logo

[tender mulch]

Yeah, probs because it's borking the display driver

Boot to safe mode and undo your changes

[nova marlin]

How?

[last hatch]

you're using freeware to change you monitor res? That's not smart

[tender mulch]

Easiest way is to just use the reset button

[nova marlin]

It worked before

[tender mulch]

So when it gets to the part where it hangs, hit the reset button on the PC

After three times it should let you get to safe mode

[nova marlin]

I don’t think i have a reset button

[tender mulch]

What tower?

[nova marlin]

TG4 sharkoon

[tender mulch]

You've got a reset button

Right next to the power button

the smaller one

[nova marlin]

No thats to control the led

[tender mulch]

Well it can do both but it's plugged into the LED controller then

[tender mulch]

yay

[nova marlin]

What?

[nova marlin]

So what am i supposed to do than? 😂

[tender mulch]

oph, trying to find the easiest way to do this

[nova marlin]

Okay

[last hatch]

Interrupt the normal boot process consecutive three times
You can either use Power button Or use Reset
It must be done before loading Windows 10 Boot process
Power Button pressed for 4 seconds to interrupt the process

[nova marlin]

So the thing is

I don’t get my motherboard startup screen

Only windows

[tender mulch]

You said windows doesn't load yeah? Just sits n spins?

[nova marlin]

Yup exactly

[tender mulch]

K, let's fix that first

Cuz the GPU works

[nova marlin]

And my monitor constantly reloads

It constantly says no signal

But that’s not the problem

[tender mulch]

Wait

You said Windows sits and spins

[nova marlin]

Ye

[tender mulch]

but no Now Signal

[nova marlin]

Exactly

[tender mulch]

SO what is it doing right now

Not what is has done

[nova marlin]

Oh

It’s just spinning

No screen

I don’t have video signal

Only on startup

[tender mulch]

Does it say no signal or not

[nova marlin]

Yes

[tender mulch]

So then what is just spinning?

[nova marlin]

Oh im stupid

Im sorry i ment the pc fans, my gpu has 0rpm mode

[tender mulch]

No Bios screen, No windows splash screen, no nothing. Just No Signal.

[nova marlin]

Wait i’ll try to restart one time again to answer this

Gpu is spinning

I get screen

No signal

Bruh

What the hell is this

I got all the startup screens, bios, windows. And than black screen - no signal

[last hatch]

windowsx is loading but then can't render because of a messed up video driver

[nova marlin]

Is that really the problem, because if that’s the case i would only get blackscreen right?

[tender mulch]

I mean

[nova marlin]

Now i am just getting no signal notifications

[last hatch]

not until it gets past bios

[tender mulch]

If they don't get the BIOS screen either

That ain't good

[nova marlin]

I do

I di

Do*

[tender mulch]

You said earlier you didn't

[nova marlin]

Yes but now it does

[tender mulch]

VR headset plugged in or nah

[nova marlin]

My pc is doing weird ikr

[nova marlin]

Nah

[tender mulch]

Safe mode then

[last hatch]

did it do updates?

[tender mulch]

back to where we started

undo all the CRU stuff

If you get a BIOS screen GPU works

[nova marlin]

How do i boot into safe mode

[tender mulch]

Windows borked

#graphics-cards message

[last hatch]

you have to interrupt the boot process three times

[nova marlin]

How, i am sorry my english is bad. 😂

[tender mulch]

hit the power button

If that doesn't work, long press it

4 seconds or more

[nova marlin]

Yeah

[tender mulch]

Gotta do that three times

[nova marlin]

After eachother? Or wait till it boots

[last hatch]

I'm out

good luck

[nova marlin]

Thanks

[tender mulch]

You can either use Power button Or use Reset
It must be done before loading Windows 10 Boot process
Power Button pressed for 4 seconds to interrupt the process

[nova marlin]

Startup, interupt process. I understand

I did it

[tender mulch]

Gotta do it 3 times in a row

[nova marlin]

I did

[tender mulch]

Then MAYBE we get to safe mode

[nova marlin]

Ok my pc just restarts randomly now? Is that bad

Bruh i think my pc is really broken or something

[tender mulch]

I'm starting to think GPU is Bork or you need to reinstall windows

[nova marlin]

Hmm

[tender mulch]

Can you get into the BIOS at all?

Like, will it hold a steady display there?

[nova marlin]

Uhm yes

[brave violet]

or maybe need to send a video of what's happening. Due to the explanation are confusing

[nova marlin]

Delete key spam right

[tender mulch]

Yeah

[nova marlin]

I’ll do it

[tender mulch]

If you can get into the BIOS

and poke around and do things without the GPU dying

It's probably OK and just Windows that is hosed

[nova marlin]

Video is loading

[tender mulch]

Ok, get into the BIOS

See if the display stays up

[nova marlin]

Delete key spam right

[tender mulch]

yes

[nova marlin]

Ok ill try rn

[tender mulch]

If you get into the BIOS just let it sit there to see if the GPU keeps the display working

[magic wing]

delete or f2

[nova marlin]

Im in

It stays

[tender mulch]

For longer than this XD

Give it a minute

[nova marlin]

Okey

Bios is outdated ik

[tender mulch]

Seeming more and more like you borked your display driver with CRU

[nova marlin]

It’s still up

[tender mulch]

Cuz even Safe Mode is hosed

[nova marlin]

I think you are right

Because the gpu is not faulty

And bios stays up

[tender mulch]

if it's not cutting out at the BIOS screen

It's probs fine

and windows is hacking up over the CRU changes

[nova marlin]

So reinstall windows is what you think?

[tender mulch]

Gonna have to

[nova marlin]

That’s unfortunate

[tender mulch]

If you can't get into safe mode

I'm looking for an alternate way

[nova marlin]

Isn’t there any other way to get into safe mode
