[heady turtle]

Trust me ik lol i live in Ireland

@dry ivy check box, scan , ebuyer and currys as well btw

[dry ivy]

I'm not in the UK. I'm the middle of east. Our prices are similar to the UK newegg prices.

[heady turtle]

That's fair enough

[mellow glen]

https://www.evga.com/articles/01476/evga-geforce-rtx-3080ti/

is this the website i gotta be ready for

for EVGA?

the page*

[dry pecan]

you know, it's actually kind of sad they cut up mining performance just so the miners wouldn't eat up the supply... I never would have thought about it before as I know jack about mining, but someone mentioned it would be a good way to make a little bit back on the purchase. And now the legit gamers don't have that option?

[dry ivy]

Loads of gamers were mining on the side on their solo GPUs to make back the high prices they've had to pay this year. Which was logical. You can still mine on the 3080Ti but at 50% of the returns. So you can make back some of it.

[glacial kelp]

Why is it sad? :)) If all GPUs would have such protections the legit gamers at least wouldn't have to worry about miners.

[dry pecan]

Oh I definitely fully understand the reasoning, don't get me wrong! I'm all for something that'll help me be able to get a card easier lol. It's just that I wouldn't mind having the option if I ever wanted to get into that sort of thing on the side with this machine.

[timid narwhal]

well Nvidia does sell the dedicated mining cards if you into that.

[dry pecan]

heh. Maybe someday...when I have a stable home internet connection, for one thing lol.

[heady turtle]

Think they have a shop page instead

[heady turtle]

Still get just over 3070 returns from the 80 ti anyway so ntb

[heady turtle]

At like outrageous prices XD better off getting a gaming card you can sell to a gamer on ebay when you finished with

[heady turtle]

https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+30+Series+Family this one the one you sent ie an article

[halcyon plover]

Did they droped allready?

The 3080tis

[dry ivy]

Nope. 2 hours and 52 mins to go

If my calculations are correct

what I'm curious about is why Newegg US hasn't listed the 3080ti cards yet even though it's out on the global site. So weird

[verbal cedar]

I am gonna try to get it legit to sell I want the profit but I refuse to bot

[dry ivy]

Is newegg going to drop stock today. I see no shuffle yet

[halcyon plover]

i can see the 3080tis on the site

[dry ivy]

I can only see it on the global site. Nothing for US or CA site

[halcyon plover]

oh ok

[dry ivy]

Got a link?

[halcyon plover]

is it cheaper or something on the us siite

yes 1 sec

[dry ivy]

Nope. But at least we know if we are getting stock today or not via shuffle

If there is no shuffle. There is no stock. So no point F5'ing my life away in 2 hours

[halcyon plover]

https://www.newegg.com/global/il-en/p/pl?d=3080ti

thats on my currency

[verbal cedar]

are they droping at 10:00 or 8:00 cst?

[dry ivy]

I see the same on my local newegg site. But we don't know if we'd get any until the shuffle pops up

[halcyon plover]

oh ok

[dry ivy]

9am PST I think

[halcyon plover]

i will get a 3080ti only if it is the evga xc3 model tbh the others are way overpriced

[verbal cedar]

but best buy is gonna start selling at 9:00 cst

[dry ivy]

Same. Just remember there are two models for the same price. One of them does not have a blackplate

[dry ivy]

That's in store. Online is different.

[halcyon plover]

i think it does

only the xc3 black version doesnt

[verbal cedar]

ok

[dry ivy]

You might be right. So one is just a normal version and one is the OC. I just checked the pics. 🙂

[halcyon plover]

yeah I dont mind both

[verbal cedar]

when I search 3080 ti on negegg all that shows up is 2080 tis

[dry ivy]

Same. You can always OC it later. Same cooler and PCB. Just one comes with a factory OC

[dry ivy]

Cause it's not listed on the US/CA site.

[halcyon plover]

change region to eu @verbal cedar

[verbal cedar]

will it ship to the us?

[halcyon plover]

its not on stock rn anyway i guess it will show on us when it is

[verbal cedar]

how do I change the region?

nvm

[dry ivy]

It might not. These stocks are meant for the specific region so might be restricted.

[verbal cedar]

yeah also my ping will be worse so I'll have no chance

do you need to refresh the page as much as possible or open it and wait how do you get your odds as high as possible?

[dry ivy]

F5 at the right time. But lately it's been all over the place. So it's down to pure luck and being fast enough to beat bots

[verbal cedar]

so I want to refresh right when it is gonna drop?

[halcyon plover]

when i got my 3070 it stayed there for like 2 min

so it wasnt too bad

[dry ivy]

Yeah. But if you're in the US. You might only have the option to buy via shuffle

[halcyon plover]

it was a bundle tho so i guess thats why

[verbal cedar]

i am also looking on gamestop and b&h

[dry ivy]

This. But when the 3070 dropped. The shortage wasn't this bad. It's going to be a massacre today

[halcyon plover]

Yeah

[dry ivy]

b&h has a history of cancelling preorders. So be mindful of that

[verbal cedar]

will staples get 3080 ti's?

they do have 3080's

[severe panther]

According to the newegg Twitter, they go live at 6am pst and they will not be bundles. It will be a shuffle though. I tried sending their post but links not allowed.

[dry ivy]

Thanks for the info

[verbal cedar]

ok what site should I focus does it make a difference?

[halcyon plover]

oh it will be a shuffle

😦

[dry ivy]

Newegg (@Newegg)

Tomorrow at 6AM PT, we’ll have @NVIDIAGeForce RTX 3080 Ti video cards available on #NeweggShuffle. Get ready for the ultimate gaming GPU, also nerfed for mining.

[halcyon plover]

only for US

[dry ivy]

So 6am PT is in 1 hour 41 mins or 2 hours 41 mins?

[halcyon plover]

1 41

[dry ivy]

We might get some stock outside US. Who knows

[halcyon plover]

yeah

i want a normal 3080 tbh

but a ti will work too-_-

[dry ivy]

The EVGA 3080 was in stock last night for 10 secs. LOL

[verbal cedar]

I want for myself a 3070 ti but the profit of the 3080 ti if I can get it legit

[heady turtle]

Don't scalp wtf

[verbal cedar]

if I can make a bit of profit but sell it less than most scalpers i don't feel that bad if I got it legit

idk hate me if you want but odds are I won't get one

[heady turtle]

I mean that's not too bad but still think it's morally wrong

[verbal cedar]

If I was botting sure but if it is pure even playing and I win I disagree but I see what you're saying

I just think it would be a good way to help me buy my computer

[heady turtle]

I thought you were gonna sell it not use it yourself?

[verbal cedar]

yes sell the 3080 ti to off set the price of the pc I want to build with a 3070 ti

[hot folio]

The GPU is really the most expensive part of the build so I’d say stick with the 3080ti and use it yourself

The rest of it you can get fairly cheap

[verbal cedar]

but it costs double the gpu I want that is a bit much

[hot folio]

There’s no guarantee you will get a 3070ti

[verbal cedar]

or I will get a 3080 ti I don't have it yet

[hot folio]

Ahh ok I thought you had it already

[verbal cedar]

no I don't think anyone does

[heady turtle]

I see

I mean 3070 ti aint supposed to be that much more than 3070 so i don't see point tbh but okay

[verbal cedar]

I was just saying I want to try to get it so I can sell it

[heady turtle]

Fair

[verbal cedar]

hoping I have a chance on release because I know when it is droping

[heady turtle]

Well so does most other ppl trying lol 😅

[verbal cedar]

i know but all I can do is hope

unless you have any better strats

so an hour and 5 minutes?

until it comes out?

[halcyon plover]

[halcyon plover]

I think thats for the shuffle

So it doesnt matter if you know when it drops its a lottery

[verbal cedar]

I'll bet that is the same as when it is released on other sites

[halcyon plover]

Maybe

[verbal cedar]

so it does matter

[heady turtle]

Ehh who knows just stalk best buy and evgas site i guess

[glacial kelp]

I have spoken to evga support and it seems they deliver to Europe. Whenever my time in the queue will be, probably after 500000 persons :))

I will get a 3070 in 2026

[heady turtle]

Yeah i almost got a 3060 from evga at €350 and i refreshed basket cuz i didn't believe and lost it

[glacial kelp]

So I should be ultra careful, that's very nasty.

[glacial kelp]

How long was it between registering for the GPU and getting the basket link?

Also, if I register for both a 3060ti and 3070 will I get both/ 😛 Cause I will take them both

[heady turtle]

Didn't register it was on 3060 release day

[halcyon plover]

Evga ship only to US ?

[heady turtle]

No

The ship to at least some eu countries

A good few anyway

[halcyon plover]

Ok i will check thx

[glacial kelp]

Got it, thanks nevertheless.

[green harness]

EVGA only ships to Europe through their .eu and .de sites

[glacial kelp]

If you want to buy from EU, you need to register through eu.evga.com

[green harness]

The EVGA NA site will not ship outside of NA

[glacial kelp]

And be aware that you will also pay VAT, because the gpus will be shipped from Taiwan.

That's outside EU 😛

[halcyon plover]

We arent there anyway

[heady turtle]

That's perfectly fine tho lol

Would actually be cheaper that way

[halcyon plover]

Newegg is my only way i guess

[green harness]

yeah, I have no problem with it. I have just seen a LOT of people queue on the wrong site and then be SOL

[halcyon plover]

You pay vat on every site

[heady turtle]

Yeah but eu it's included

[halcyon plover]

Either in site or in the country when package comes

[dense osprey]

you guys know anything about the 3080 ti and getting it in canada

newegg has it on its website i guess i releases at 6am pst?

[glacial kelp]

I am not sure if you order from Taiwan in Europe, you might pay it at the customs. You don't pay EU VAT in another country, you pay it locally.

That's how it works if I order from China.

When the package arrives, I am asked to go to the local customs.

The officers evaluate the product, and charge vat.

[green harness]

GPUs bought through EVGA's .eu or .deu sites are shipped from Taiwan

[glacial kelp]

Yup, that's why I said you need to pay VAT too.

If you are in EU. So if the price is 500 euros, you also need to pay the local vat.

In my case I think it's 20% - it's 19%

[dense osprey]

what do u guys think is the best version of the 3080

[green harness]

The one you can get your hands on at MSRP

[severe panther]

Looks like evga site popped a squat already

[novel edge]

and yet they'll already be sold out before it loads for anyone

[vital pivot]

My new background

[dry pecan]

Ooooo Newegg has one of the Asus cards

not the one I wanted, but it's an Asus, AT MSRP....lol

[glacial kelp]

If it doesn't load for you it doesn't mean it doesn't load for other peeps

[novel edge]

it was a joke...

[vital pivot]

It’s loading.

And it loaded the old page

[raven thunder]

did the 3080tis already sell out or has it not started yet?

[vital pivot]

It started. Just got to get in line and wait till it goes

[novel edge]

Best buy people are already listing on ebay

[raven thunder]

where?

oh wait, it started for the US and not canada

[dry pecan]

Well I got my shuffle entry in...so the wait begins.

[raven thunder]

yup

[novel edge]

the asus strix is 2k

[lone pond]

Insanity

[dry pecan]

ouch. lol maybe I should be glad it didn't appear.

*on the shuffle

[novel edge]

I just saw it on Micro Center, I mean someone is in line ready to pay that much

[dry pecan]

not me.. I'm not THAT desperate.

[glacial kelp]

Desperate? If I'd make 5k a month I'd insta pay for that.

[dry pecan]

I'd pay that for a 3090. Maybe. But not a half-ram 3090.

I do make around 4-5k monthly and I'm still not that desperate lol.

[glacial kelp]

In the end it's more of a matter of budget.

I have just made a new PC, cost me 1500 2000, without the GPU. I can't afford a GPU now.

1060 is awesome for now :))

[halcyon plover]

I could have bought a 3080ti ftw3 ultra

But expensive

Im waiting for the msrp ones

[dry pecan]

I'm just after the Asus on the shuffle... If I can't get it, I guess I'm just waiting a little longer.

[dry ivy]

this is as close to MSRP you'll get without buying direct from EVGA

[halcyon plover]

I mean the xc3 is 300$ cheaper

For me

Im not paying 300 more for the ftw3 over xc3

[dry ivy]

The XC3 is the better buy for sure

[halcyon plover]

Yeah

[dry ivy]

I got one. Btw

[halcyon plover]

From where

[dry ivy]

Newegg

[halcyon plover]

Oh we didnt have it

Only ftw3 and gaming oc

On our region

[dry ivy]

We got Eagle, XC3, FTW3, Zotac, Gaming OC. 5 piece each I think

[halcyon plover]

-_-

[clever pagoda]

evga website won't even load lol

[halcyon plover]

Nice

[mellow glen]

nice

lol

[dry ivy]

same. i was trying both. Newegg went through. EVGA is dead

[mellow glen]

my EVGA is loading extremely slowly

but is loading still...

[novel edge]

you'll see the full capacity soon enough

[dry pecan]

I don't see why Newegg would have a problem - they're not selling lol.

[dry ivy]

This... I've been staring at for 25 mins

[dry pecan]

they're just taking entries for a drawing.

[novel edge]

mine says full capacity every 5 minutes or so

[mellow glen]

aids

has it been like this the entire time?

[novel edge]

since like 10-15 minutes before

[mellow glen]

LOL

[dry pecan]

oh well.. guess I should go sleep for a couple hours at least.

[novel edge]

what region are you in twinkle that you had a general stock on newegg?

lul, shows receipt for 1.2k while listing at 3k

[glacial kelp]

Money laundering 😄

[novel edge]

evga just went white/blank for me

[glacial kelp]

Really, if you paid 3k and the receipt is for 1.2, that's definitely something fishy 😄

[novel edge]

eu page is available

https://eu.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+30+Series+Family&chipset=RTX+3080+Ti

[glacial kelp]

Not loading, but that's out of my actual budget. 3060ti 3070 and praying.

I am wasting more time looking for GPUs than working 😄

[novel edge]

shhhhh

https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+30+Series+Family&chipset=RTX+3080+Ti

I think this should be US link

[glacial kelp]

Lol, I can add to cart the 3080ti

Now I only need the money.

[mellow glen]

where xD

[glacial kelp]

EU link

Sadly, no money no love.

[novel edge]

I had the option on EU but the recaptcha wasn't working, probably wouldn't ship to US anyways

[glacial kelp]

Hm, let's see if somehow they have 3060ti or 3070

That I can afford

I doubt they have cause I have registered for notifications.

[novel edge]

or just setup the auto-notify

[glacial kelp]

Did that 😛

I should go rob someone to get the money for the 3080ti :))

[novel edge]

so on evga, is the race to add to cart or auto-notify

[mellow glen]

auto notify

[green harness]

no it would not

[novel edge]

They had one in stock and the rest were auto-notify. I wonder if it'll be the same for US

page loaded but it's not letting me confirm auto-notify

[karmic crag]

beautiful

[dry ivy]

EVGA still doesn't load for me

[glacial kelp]

I have found a 3080ti on stock locally. 3500 USD 😄

[dry ivy]

UAE

[glacial kelp]

Thinking of ordering one, and getting a lottery ticket. If I win, I pay for it.

[dry ivy]

I'd love an FE. We don't get those

[novel edge]

all evga is out of stock, it's a matter of getting it to load and actually being able to confirm the auto-notify

[dry ivy]

I was just wanted to get in queue. But the page won't even load

[novel edge]

queue is going to be long af

[dry ivy]

Yeah. i know

[glacial kelp]

What do you say guys, should I order a 3080ti which is on stock here in an online shop for 3500 USD, get a lottery ticket, and if I win pay it? :))

[novel edge]

what's up with the whole 24 hour priority access elite members are supposed to have?

[glacial kelp]

Instead of 8 hours to confirm the payment, you have 24.

[novel edge]

the going price on ebay in US is 3k so not really worth it

[glacial kelp]

Basically if I sleep when I get my EVGA link, and in the morning I have to go somewhere and can't log in, I will miss the chance to buy the gpu.

Also maybe the elite members get priority?

[lone pond]

Any idea when Amazon drops

[novel edge]

I got into the evga queue for one of them

[drowsy kiln]

No idea, but a lot more bots looking at Amazon compared to BestBuy. Better chance trying to get one from BestBuy than Amazon IMO.

[clever fern]

Best Buy in person is sold out at my locations. Went to two and people had been camping out overnight.

[novel edge]

if you weren't in line early yesterday morning, you weren't getting one

[drowsy kiln]

Well yea you just wait for online drops and it ships to your local store. Guess you could camp out but you would have had to be there for 24+ hours

[heady turtle]

Have they announced the 3080 ti drop yet haven't seen anything?

Surprise surprise

[clever pagoda]

If only best buy did a drop for the other cards

[heady turtle]

Mb later?

Ohh so expected

[vital pivot]

Rommy you know better

Heh. Just camp at MC

[remote locust]

Best Buy only stocked about 5-10 in smaller cities and 40-50 in major I only know this because my best is a regional manager it’s how I got mine and then Amazon hasn’t dropped the 3080 tis yet

Same with BH hasn’t dropped in the use

Usa*

Yet

You know this could all be solved by just making you verify a email and phone number it’d cut down on so many bots

[tender mulch]

You'd think that but it doesn't stop the Discord bots so it won't stop the other ones either

Trust me, we got raided again this morning

And we require phone verification

There are websites where you can bulk buy phone numbers for verification

[remote locust]

Ah sad

Yeah I don’t know I want the 3090 ti to come out and I’ll be happy I’m rocking a 3090 at the moment the 3080 ti is going in a streaming pc

Well I got my gaming pc free it’s how I got the 3090 @sterile parcel

[karmic crag]

the all new 3090 ti, made with 100% unobtanium

[novel edge]

I just looked at the newegg shuffle and page shows I'm not entered?

[cerulean rover]

It's fine, as long as you got the "you entered" email @novel edge

[remote locust]

My boys at artesianbuilds hooked me up

It’s coming out

And because I need it I like high end things Idk

?

[vital oriole]

3090ti is not coming out

[remote locust]

Yes it is

[vital oriole]

zero rumors or leaks that suggests to that

[remote locust]

Multiple builders have talked about it

Robeytech has talked about and Ryan from main gear

And lancer from cyberpower

[vital oriole]

But there's no news about it tho

[remote locust]

Have all talked about it on streamed it’s only a matter of time

[vital oriole]

So I doubt it

[remote locust]

Streams

[vital oriole]

Streams, but not leak reports

[tender mulch]

It's all based on the fact that Zotac had one in their FIreStorm overclocking software

[vital oriole]

lol

[tender mulch]

Nothing more or less

[vital oriole]

Ah

[tender mulch]

Yeah, might just be an oopsie

[vital oriole]

It's zotac so could be wrong

Who knows

[tender mulch]

Or a mistype

[remote locust]

Man you must not know tech at all your stupid @vital oriole It’s just how tech goes it’s how 20 series went and the 1080s went it’s the order they come out in

It’s a pattern

[vital oriole]

I would believe it if Nvidia's driver has its name in it

[tender mulch]

Don't be rude

:/

[remote locust]

It’s been for past 5-8 years consistently

[vital oriole]

lol I didn't even read the first part

Anyway, I'm still doubtful myself

[tender mulch]

Take leaks with a grain of salt

[vital oriole]

^

[tender mulch]

Manufacturers make tons of SKU's and a good portion never see the light of day

[vital oriole]

I would only start believing the leaks if enough info backs it up, not one oopsie

Like Nvidia's driver info

That's an accurate way to say something is coming out

[tender mulch]

Time will tell

[vital oriole]

Same for amd

Mhm, only time tells the truth

[tender mulch]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/zotac-thinks-nvidia-will-make-geforce-rtx-3090-ti

[vital oriole]

A guess.. just like what Lenovo said about 2090

[tender mulch]

I can see them doing a Titan tho

[vital oriole]

ooh yeah

titan ampere

what will it be called?

Titan A, or Titan Ampere

Maybe..

[remote locust]

I didn’t need or want a 3080ti but I have it

[tender mulch]

I don't need 8 motorcycles but I have them XD

[novel edge]

I think a 3090 ti would make sense it just might not happen this series due to the supply of silicon. the same goes for the titan. with the supply being so limited and those cards using the top silicon (quality wise) it's probably just not cost effective to design/produce them because the return likely isnt high enough

5k for a titan 😅

[vital oriole]

nvidia robbing

[solemn panther]

3090 ti come on

[hot folio]

3090+a whole lotta RGB=3090ti

We all know RGB adds FPS

[novel edge]

they'd be at least 2k

[hot folio]

Add an extra 5% 3k

[solemn panther]

i was think 2 more gbs to

[novel edge]

no one wants this to go on for two series, just make it a 3090 ti super ultra

[worthy hazel]

Forgot pro max

[novel edge]

64gb of dram

comes with a dremel to make a hole in your case for it to fit

carbon fiber or titanium?

[uneven karma]

newegg shuffle gods, bestow upon me a card!

[novel edge]

first time?

I have a case that my mobo sits horizontally and I have relatively no slack in my 6900xt

is horizontal the way of the future for these long boi cards?

[lone pond]

I’ve never hit a single Newegg shuffle

[uneven karma]

one day we will.... one day.

[lone pond]

Hopefully today

[uneven karma]

🤞🏿

[novel edge]

I got selected my very first entry but it was for a 6700xt that I didnt realize to remove since it was after the rtx's in the selection bar

[uneven karma]

lucky guy to hit. 6700xt are super jacked in price, they even worth?

word

[novel edge]

and I had a 1080ti so there wasn't much to gain there

[unkempt lodge]

Anyone here ever own a r9 280

[dreamy dragon]

JT_#6684 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[unkempt lodge]

The xfx one is nice looking

[karmic crag]

i'm usually not a fan of the way xfx cards look

[uneven karma]

I got a 1080ti too.... but that needs to retire to my streaming PC... one day ill get an upgrade...

those strix cards are nice looking

[novel edge]

the asus hybrids look sexy af but expensive af too

[slim vessel]

almost. i have an r7 250OC

[fossil talon]

15th card acquired, basically 13th card to resell at MSRP. 3080 EVGA XC3 Ultra today. First 3080 in 6months

There was a queue suprisenly today for BB Canada

[uneven karma]

what.. u got 15 cards?

[mellow glen]

you said reselling at MSRP? 😄

[rugged tinsel]

I’m just hoping to get an ASUS TUF GPU eventually to go with the rest of the pc I just built last week.

Might try water cooling it, but might not need to.

[fossil talon]

Yea I still do it. Basically I have a bot that gets GPUs and then I resell locally to friends and friends of friends

At MSRP+tax

So what I pay for basically

[agile chasm]

I'd love to see the code for your bot 🥺👉👈

[fossil talon]

Yea my bot is not easy to read. My friend is publishing a different bot with a proper UI to enter into

[uneven karma]

its always great that people use bots to make the problem even worse for everyone else... got to love it.

[agile chasm]

Gotta fight fire with fire I've concluded...

[halcyon plover]

It doesnt matter tbh

[fossil talon]

Gotta fight bots with your own bots :)

[agile chasm]

I just want a 3070 someday :/

[uneven karma]

no hate here... if you got the resources to do it, then do it... ill just be in the corner sad... wishing upon the newegg shuffle gods. 😆

[pure shell]

Hello do you guys think i have a chance in getting the 3070ti without bots?

[halcyon plover]

Yeah you can

[fossil talon]

At release it's possible

[agile chasm]

I've been trying Shuffle as well but man.. bots are tempting.

[fossil talon]

Release is generally easier

[halcyon plover]

I could have got the 3080ti today

No bot

But it was expensive one so ididnt

[pure shell]

Yeah i plan on release

[fossil talon]

However I believe if you're in the US, Ti models are sold in stores at certain Best Buy locations

[agile chasm]

Oh snap should I call ahead?

[pure shell]

But i have to be there hours in line right?

[fossil talon]

Possibly

[uneven karma]

calling wont do anything, they aint giving info

[fossil talon]

Probably

[halcyon plover]

24 hours probably

[glacial kelp]

Fishing chair, alcohol hidden in pepsi bottles, maybe a few sandwiches. And you are set 😄

You can do an aquarium too

So it looks natural

[agile chasm]

I'm in Arkansas so it's probably a bit easier 😂

[pure shell]

I dont have the time haha

[uneven karma]

this micro center here by me in PA have been ducking and dogging me left and right lol... My friend walked in and bought a 3080ti like it was nothing. I may have to take a trip

[fossil talon]

LOL, don't forget music

[pure shell]

I’ll try the shuffle

Thanks guys

[glacial kelp]

Probably that's why Sun is getting msrps for his friends. - this was an answer for the time reply 😄

[pure shell]

[fossil talon]

I was lucky originally for drops, so my friends asked me, and then I created a bot

[agile chasm]

Do existing bots work with the upcoming 3070ti or do you need customized bots for each card?

I'm wondering if I should look into that for release day...

[fossil talon]

So it depends on how you input it

[uneven karma]

we can spoon and ill be your best friend for that MSRP price 😆 🤓

[glacial kelp]

Drop me a 3060ti too please. 😂

[fossil talon]

Mine is website input based

[glacial kelp]

I have no need for bots because locally nobody sells anything under 3-4-5 times

[fossil talon]

Note I'm in Canada lol, different bot protections on BB

[glacial kelp]

So I have just registered for evga

So I can just pray 😛

[halcyon plover]

I will do the elite evga membership too i guess and if win i will use 3rd party shipping

[glacial kelp]

I did get a lottery ticket 2 hours ago, so I can get a 3080ti and 3 times the msrp 😄

[glacial kelp]

I think you need to be really sneaky, because they don't allow that

If I recall right.

[halcyon plover]

Oh

[agile chasm]

Where/how can I get started with looking into getting a bot?

[glacial kelp]

You need both the payment method and location to match.

[halcyon plover]

Weird

-_-

Will look into it tho thanks

[glacial kelp]

3rd party shipping was my thought too 😄

[fossil talon]

If you want to take other code and integrate your own stuff, I suggest stack overflow and GitHub

[uneven karma]

dont you have to buy something from evga thats $60-100 within a year to become an elite member?

[fossil talon]

My code was in python and I had pygem and other extensions

[halcyon plover]

I have 2 old 1060s

[glacial kelp]

They have a list of products.

[halcyon plover]

Dont know if it need to be from the last year

[agile chasm]

Who is your friend who is publishing the UI bot, @fossil talon ?

[glacial kelp]

https://www.evga.com/member/elite/

[uneven karma]

😮

[halcyon plover]

EVGA does not accept the use of the following address listings for any purchases made through EVGA.com.

Mail or Package forwarding companies

[fossil talon]

He's not done yet

We're fixing UI glitches

[halcyon plover]

[fossil talon]

Not sure if he wants to charge for the bot or not either

[agile chasm]

Definitely let me know! I might be willing to pay based on the price.

[glacial kelp]

Just out of curiosity since I am in the EU, do you also need proxies? Or it just works.

[novel edge]

I got a 3080ti hybrid from evga! Even got 5% off

[fossil talon]

EU has more proxies than the US/Canada I believe

[glacial kelp]

I mean that it doesn't matter if it needs proxies because I can't order from Canada 😄

Or US

[uneven karma]

Congrats! Still debating if I should buy a mouse just to join the club... but I think it would be a waste considering I would need the product nunber... don't think the receipt gives all the info.

[glacial kelp]

The mouse box should have everything.

[rustic ice]

Shuffle is rigged

Shuffle is

Rigged

[supple socket]

nah.

[rustic ice]

I’ve entered 50 times dude

Not ins have I gotten a 3080

[supple socket]

same

but

[rustic ice]

Not once

[uneven karma]

Got to consider 5mill people doing the same exact thing

[rustic ice]

Well I’ve been entering long before millions of people started entering

[glacial kelp]

I have no idea where I have read it, but I have read somewhere that the more you enter the same lottery, the less chances you have. Some kind of spam mechanism favoring the ones that play fair.

Of course, it doesn't mean it's true.

[rustic ice]

Lol that absolutely would not make any sense

Punish you for over paying for something

Wanting to *

[glacial kelp]

Nope, punishing you for trying to get in front of others.

There are other people willing to pay, as you are. It's not like you are doing them a favor

[rustic ice]

Lol that wouldn’t do anyone justice if that was the case

[uneven karma]

@glacial kelp yea its just a timing thing. Either post 100 times on forums, or by something and wait for it to come in and by then, the 24hr exclusive stuff is over.

[rustic ice]

Is it still possible to win the shuffle at this time?

[spare relic]

no 😎

[rustic ice]

Ah

So if you’re chosen within the first hour, you’re not getting anything

Not*

[spare relic]

/s but fr I don't see it being practical

[heady turtle]

There's ppl that entered basically every shuffle and got nothing lol it's luck

[rustic ice]

Dude but come on man I’ve spent $1,200 with them, I refuse to believe it’s completely random

[tender mulch]

It is completely random

The amount of money you've spent there means nothing

[rustic ice]

🤔

[heady turtle]

Why would they favour ppl that bought from them already, that would be unfair on new buyers lol

[dry pecan]

I'm a new buyer and I just spent $1800+ on a new build sans GPU... So that statement doesn't really work.

[green harness]

I got an offer to buy a 3080 at least two hours into a buying window, so that is not true

[rustic ice]

Did you buy it?

[green harness]

Yep

It's like two feet from me

[rustic ice]

How long ago?

[green harness]

Early May

[novel edge]

What worked for me on evga: I figured out that their web address naming standard is extremely simple so I was refreshing the 3080ti page while other people were still trying to load the main page

[glacial kelp]

Your link worked for me too, I could check in. Lacked the money tho for a 3080ti.

So it was just an exercise waiting for either a 3060ti or a 3070

[novel edge]

do you have enough for the 3070 ti?

could get into that queue

[glacial kelp]

Nope, I have just bought a new pc in pieces, and I have already spent between 1500 2000 USD.

And also the GPU is not a big requirement, I have 2 22 inch displays, which I might upgrade to 23.

If I postpone for a couple of months, I could.

But it's not really a necesity.

Plus it's summer 😄

[novel edge]

I had enough to sell to at least pay for my 6900xt, I just had to cover the rest but I was due for a new build, or at least by my standards

[grim frost]

is it normal for a 1070 ti to have a high pitch coil whine while gaming?

and if so is there any way to make it quieter

[novel edge]

so it's the fan?

[heady turtle]

Most cards can have coil wine

Up your fans over the sound of it if you don't wanna hear

[grim frost]

alright, never had it happen with any card i have had before so just wanted to know

[cerulean rover]

3090 above 3080ti still, but like 3% kinda margins

[heady turtle]

Depends on game, 3080 ti trades wins sometimes

[cerulean rover]

I'm talking overall

It's like 2 in 100 games where 3080ti wins afaik

[heady turtle]

Ahh nvm then lol

[novel edge]

unless you have something that needs/utilizes that extra 12gb of ram

[glacial kelp]

Skyrim 8k, Bethesda many ks

I can't think of any other major game.

[heady turtle]

8k isn't practical

Also who tf has an 8k monitor

[grim frost]

there are probably like 100 people using the ability to go 8k

[swift cliff]

I don't see how a 3090 can ever lose to the 80 Ti in anything, except maybe a huge difference in silicon quality

[heady turtle]

3090 is like 2% better

[tender mulch]

Eh, depends. 3080TI beats it in quite a few games

[swift cliff]

Which games? And by what mechanism? It's objectively better in every spec

Jarrod'sTech did a comparison run of 17 games, its about 4.5% better at 4k and 3.6% at 1440p

[heady turtle]

Watch most of the 3080 ti reviews they all show 80 ti trading blows with 90

[swift cliff]

Well, I did lol

Show a video where the 90 is worse than the 80 ti?

[fossil talon]

Real talk: I'm getting towards my limits of providing the GPU service, I'm down to #26 left and tons of people asking. GPU stock does seem better now. Should I continue or stop. I'm getting tired and need a break

Note there was a 1k+ drop in BB Canada today, good sign

I have a seperate bank account for this, you could say a floating account for GPUs. And sheets and everything lol. But I see what you mean

Yea I need a break

Half of year priming, researching, and GPU deliveries have put a strain on me

For sure. I might go on 3 month hiatus then, hopefully the market would be better

Yes some people wanted to bribe, I also gotten threats and stuff

Ikr

Some saying they won't pay fully, others straight up try to ruin my "image" as a GPU service

[novel edge]

um, you can sell it way above msrp and they try and short sell you?

dafuq

if you've already helped the specific people you wanted to help, take a break

[fossil talon]

Yep, basically this my final message below.

Hi all,

It's been a rollercoaster for the GPU market. Starting back in January, there were only 235 card drops and a severe scarcity. Don't get me wrong, we are still in a shortage of cards but as June approaches, the number of cards have creeped up from each drop, seeing the largest drop in BB history as of today. Thus introducing a 3 month hiatus period for my gpu service. If you were on the list, I'm very sorry but I will close that down in hopes you can find other ways to find a card and be proactive in searching for cards. If the market seems better in October and following I'll completely end the service, otherwise I'll reopen with a cap of only #10. Sorry if I gave up your hopes, but I'm human too. It's been a long journey and I hope you all the best. Thank you.

Signing off,
--my name--

[novel edge]

like the card I got today is for a friend, if he gave me any attitude it'd be on ebay in a heartbeat. Some people just don't know how to be grateful to someone who's helping them out

[rain ether]

I WON THE SHUFFLE !!! 3080TI FTW3 !!! AND I HAD THE $$$ TO BUY IT LOL

[dry pecan]

Congrats!!!

[novel edge]

how long have you been on this grueling trek?

[dry pecan]

hmm.. only an hour left.

and I just got my "not selected" email. lol

[lethal wraith]

Please dont tell me they will send the email at 9 for me

[inland cave]

YA BOI GOT A 3080TI TODAY

[hot folio]

Would it make sense to build a custom loop just for my GPU?

[novel edge]

depends on the brand

[hot folio]

Because rn I have a really good AIO that I like and I don’t want to replace it

[novel edge]

do you have a custom loop for other parts of your pc?

[hot folio]

Nope

For EVGA the queue opens up to elite members on June 10th 6am

Microcenter it should be I think 10 am since that’s when the store opens

Best Buy I have no clue

[green harness]

PDT

[slate bronze]

I need a new video card. My computer is randomly rebooting when I play 3D games. Ugh.

[rugged vortex]

what card u got?

[slate bronze]

1070 FTW

I don't know why it's dying, probably was used to farm Bitcoin. I got it on eBay

[rugged vortex]

yeah that’s not a bad card for the current card shortage. I would try to fix it before getting a new one.

[slate bronze]

There's nothing to fix. It isn't over heating, voltages look fine. It gives no warning before my computer eats hot death

One minute everything is fine, next minute, hard boot. Windows logs have no information, no warnings or errors

I'd try replacing everything else, but I'm trying to get a card via the shuffle and it seems I'm going to have to buy a motherboard plus a card. I don't want an extra motherboard I can't use

🤷‍♂️

[rugged vortex]

maybe re installing drivers?

[verbal cedar]

If I camp outside of bestbuy from like 5:00pm on the 9th do you think I can get a 3070 ti?

[slate bronze]

I reformatted my entire machine, no change. I rearranged the ram, no change.

My 2D games work fine. I can play Nova Drift or Oxygen Not Included for hours. But Dyson Sphere Program is almost exclusively GPU based and it kills my computer in about 10 minutes

[rugged vortex]

i’m no expert but it could be that the 3d rendering is fried, i’m not sure what else it would be but i would seek other help before getting another card. if you do try to get a new card, definitely buy the new one before selling your current

[slate bronze]

I wouldn't sell this card. I don't want another gamer to be heartbroken

I'll just dispose of it

[rugged vortex]

i’ve seen people sell broken cards for parts, it’ll probably sell you just have to say its broken

[slate bronze]

That sounds like a lot of effort. Maybe though. I'm really bad about getting down to UPS to ship stuff. Honestly, the money probably isn't worth the effort to me

[verbal cedar]

If I camp outside of bestbuy from like 5:00pm on the 9th do you think I can get a 3070 ti?

[slate bronze]

Money isn't my problem, scarcity is. But I refuse to buy something for scalper prices

[verbal cedar]

or would it be easier at a microcenter?

[rugged vortex]

idk, once i went to a micro center at like 3 to get smth and there were already like 4 people waiting

[verbal cedar]

So earlier or bestbuy? I really want this card an doing this could save me months so I want to do it right

[full brook]

Been waiting too long for my 3080

[novel edge]

Have you checked the event viewer to see what component actually caused the shutdown?

[rugged vortex]

@verbal cedar i haven’t been to bestbuy but i have been told that they don’t even get stock because they sell out in warehouses before they reach stores so i would go to micro center to be safe. earlier never hurts if you have the time

[verbal cedar]

yeah it is "wasting" a couple days but if it lets me get a pc 6 months early it is worth it

[novel edge]

Do you have an evga component to be an elite member?

[full brook]

Yes

I can't even use my 980ti as a way to get in the elite

[verbal cedar]

what does that mean?

[novel edge]

If you have an evga product you can register as an elite member and get access to their queue on release. I did it this morning and got the email to purchase a 3080ti hybrid within 5 hours

[verbal cedar]

oh that is so nice

are you gonna cop

[novel edge]

https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+30+Series+Family&chipset=RTX+3070+Ti

They follow a pretty simple/standard naming system for their web address so that'll be the link for the 3070ti so basically start refreshing that on release so you can skip waiting for it to be a drop down option in their product menu

But you have to be an elite member to have that access on release

[verbal cedar]

I don't have anything evga big sad

[novel edge]

Oof, well I guess wait until Best Buy confirms how they're doing the release

[verbal cedar]

I hope that a store near me has some cause it will make me so happy to build my first pc

[mystic gazelle]

Do we have any idea if they'll start having AIB's in store?

[livid idol]

Apparently they're doing in store stuff at Best Buy for the 3080 ti and 3070 ti launches, but besides that who knows. You need to get in line 2 days before the launch anyway.

[heady turtle]

For those in the uk desperate for a card, ebuyer and overclockers have 2060s in stock

[glacial kelp]

Ebuyer outright blocking my IP 😄

No way I am going to pay 700 quids on that :/

Waiting is good.

[heady turtle]

It was 500 iirc but just letting ppl know

[glacial kelp]

The one that had multiple pieces was 689.99 on overclock. Ebuyer blocks my country. Nevertheless I am willing to wait.

The stock is still there, still 10+ pieces in stock.

If it goes down to 300 I will order one 😄

[heady turtle]

Never said it was a good deal said it was for ppl desperate for a card lol

[glacial kelp]

I am not accusing you of anything 😛 You did a good thing. It's more of a disappointment for me, I would definitely pay for a 2060s the msrp price.

I have a 1060 now 😄

With a 5900 CPU 😄

The perfect match.

[heady turtle]

Ahha :)

[heady turtle]

That's fair enough

[glacial kelp]

In fact that's why I am here 😄 Fishing for the right link at the right moment :))

I got that 3080ti from eu evga, but I didn't have the money 😛

If on Sunday I hit the jackpot in the lottery, I will get the most expensive 3090 I can find here :))

[heady turtle]

Rip

[magic wing]

2060 is ew

it tried to follow up on 1060s success

and failed

miserably

[green harness]

Did it try though?

[magic wing]

It did

[heady turtle]

Yeah it just didn't succeed like the 1060(6gb)

3gb 1060 was worse than 1050 ti basically

Stoopid

[raven thunder]

how do you even enter the evga queue for the 3080tis

i can't seem to find the remind me when it's available button

[glacial kelp]

There isn't one for the model.

[green harness]

Currently it's still elite only I think. It is supposed to open to everyone at noon EDT (so in just over 2.5 hours) BUT I don't see notify buttons at all and am an elite member. I'd check in a few hours if you want to enter the queue but they may have already reached whatever caps they set for them

[heady turtle]

@halcyon plover how is your thermal pad mod btw

[raven thunder]

thanks!

[vital pivot]

@green harness post a pick of the evga page

[novel edge]

I don't see an auto-notify on evga either. I got entered around 9:30-9:50 cst yesterday and already purchased one but haven't got a notification yet on the other

[vital pivot]

Yeah their site is screwed up.

[glacial kelp]

I don't think the site is screwed up, it works fine for other gpus. They haven't activated the queue for 3080ti

[vital pivot]

Nah same thing happened to me yesterday

And the shuffle is a joke but at least those 3080ti don’t have the prices like Tom’s predicted.

[glacial kelp]

Yup, there is a conspiration behind the shuffles. So you don't win, specifically 😄

I suspect it's similar to the lottery I buy tickets too. I have never won one, it's clearly a setup.

[magic wing]

a multi billion dollar company definitely cares about you that much

XD

[glacial kelp]

Indeed 😂

[clever pagoda]

To get elite you have to have 2 more or evga products right?

[glacial kelp]

"EVGA members who have purchased and registered ONE of the products listed in the box below.
Product registration is required."

ONE, with capitals.

[clever pagoda]

Oh I have elite and it doesn't let me get the notify

[glacial kelp]

There is no notify yet.

For 3080s

ti :))

Or if it feels better, you can believe that they are excluding you deliberately from the notify option 😄

[clever pagoda]

I wasn't sure just read someone say that elite has exclusive access

[glacial kelp]

That was for purchasing.

[halcyon plover]

I guess its better, i cant see memory temps so..

[glacial kelp]

There was an option to purchase them, for elite only. I got that link yesterday, but I am not an elite 😄 Nor do I live in US Canada, nor do I afford a 3080ti. I am following 3060tis

[novel edge]

If you didn't enter the queue yesterday morning I think it filled or they took it down, maybe they had a limited quantity specifically for elite and they are going to reopen for everyone today

[glacial kelp]

You can email support if you want more info, they answer pretty quickly, given the circumstances.

[solemn panther]

these prices...

[halcyon plover]

Yeah msi and zotac

[heady turtle]

Able to get bit higher oc/less rejects ?

[solemn panther]

600 dollar difference because one card has more rgb and a slightly higher boost clock

what are they doing...

[vital pivot]

Money grab

[heady turtle]

First is msrp i suppose

[solemn panther]

yeah it is

the last one is a big waste of money

[heady turtle]

But yeah msi are money hungry

Omg yikes

[vital pivot]

Zotac = Shyyyite

[heady turtle]

Zotac must be smoking some good stuff

[halcyon plover]

Im on 1200 on memory didnt tried more yet tbh . But not rejects

[vital pivot]

I actually have a few older cheap zotac scares

Cards

[heady turtle]

Try 1300, i get that easily with no pads, although could be silicon lottery

[halcyon plover]

Yeah maybe

[vital pivot]

I figured Newegg would have some evga 3080tis. But nope

[halcyon plover]

I will try it later

[glacial kelp]

Probably evga doesn't need third parties for now 😄

[clever pagoda]

Everyone seems to be raising their prices since the 3080ti announcement

[last hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/xander-jeanneret-relics-and-rarities-dnd-dungeons-and-dragons-deborah-ann-woll-gif-13600139

[green harness]

pretty sure they capped the queues and took the notifies down, but we'll see. The XC3 is gone for now for sure

[green harness]

They had some yesterday iirc

[normal hawk]

Basically 1800$ lmao

[cerulean rover]

Shuffle time if y'all haven't entered yet

[fading citrus]

Are nvidia reference cards good?

Rtx 3080 reference card?

[halcyon plover]

Lol 3080ti msi on stock rn

2400$

On newegg

[fading citrus]

Please answer my question

[spice zodiac]

anyone know why the asus tuf 3070 hasnt been put in stock as much as it has been before?

[green harness]

Sure. They don't have the absolute best boards out there but for MSRP they are a great value

[cerulean rover]

FE is good

[halcyon plover]

Fe are good for msrp

[raven thunder]

yup and cheap but oc and thermal performence not as good

[green harness]

FE cards have some of the lowest power limits iirc, so they're not great for overclocking, but they have perfectly fine coolers and deliver good performance

[raven thunder]

and clock speeds etc

[fading citrus]

Dont want to OC

[cerulean rover]

They're good, they're still a 30xx card, 1% 2% differences don't mean to much imo

[green harness]

The difference in performance between like an FE and a factory OC card is pretty minimal

[fading citrus]

I want to run it like for 10 years

[cerulean rover]

Cooler isn't bad either, it's just relatively a bit worse than others

[spice zodiac]

can someone please answer my question if they know it, I don't understand, is this GPU situation getting better or worse?

[cerulean rover]

We don't know

[halcyon plover]

Idk if it would last 10 years

[cerulean rover]

We can't know

[halcyon plover]

But 5+ for sure i guess

[green harness]

seems to me like it's largely the same atm

[dry pecan]

I've never even heard of Zotac until just recently, are they worth anything? Compared to ASUS, MSI, EVGA?

[cerulean rover]

@dry pecan they're a pretty big aib partner too

[raven thunder]

isn't the evga queue supposed to go live rn?

[cerulean rover]

The cards are just decent, not good, but the company is decently big

[vital pivot]

@dry pecan zotac doesn’t hold up vs the others AIBs.

[green harness]

it is live

Their website is working too, unlike yesterday morning

[raven thunder]

yup entered my names in

but it's very sus

too easy to get into line

[dry pecan]

Thanks @cerulean rover, @vital pivot. I only ask because they're the only MSRP 3080ti on the shuffle today. Figure I can always resell it when I get what I actually want (Asus) lol.

[green harness]

it was hammered yesterday when it was open to elite only. Don't expect an offer to purchase anytime soon

[vital pivot]

EVGA is the only AIB that would buy for personal use.

I didn’t even bother with the shuffle

[cerulean rover]

Well, Zotac is okay, you could resell and get what you want if necessary

[heady turtle]

Well you're an evga simp

Asus also make good cards

[halcyon plover]

Asus are expensive

-_-

[vital pivot]

I don’t care about quality. I care about warranty and support.

[cerulean rover]

Technically Zotac has an infinitely longer warranty than EVGA, lifetime if you register xD

[dry pecan]

In my experience you get what you pay for tho.

[heady turtle]

That's pretty good actually

[cerulean rover]

EVGA is only 5-10 years w registeration and sometimes fee

[halcyon plover]

I mean the ftw3 is on the same level as strix and cost less

[vital pivot]

I had troubles with both msi and asus

[cerulean rover]

Their warranty doesn't cover as much as EVGA tho

EVGA let's you oc and replace cooler without voiding warranty

[heady turtle]

Not in these times, usually asus cards would only be 50-100$ more, not 300

[dry pecan]

Very true.

[heady turtle]

Tbf my gigabyte didn't come with one of those sticker(and they are inforceable in the eu still afaik

[cerulean rover]

These times are weird times where usual wisdom doesn't really apply

[halcyon plover]

Yeah i didnt have stickers

[cerulean rover]

@heady turtle I'm not talking about sticker, I'm talking about where EVGA, MSI, XFX explicitly said they don't care if you replace cooler, as long as you return it in normal condition

[halcyon plover]

When doing thermal pad replacement

[cerulean rover]

Here's the statement from EVGA for example, "You are also welcome to use an aftermarket fan or waterblock as long as you return it to stock condition before sending it in for RMA."

[heady turtle]

That's pretty cool

[novel edge]

evga auto-notify is up again, enter now if you want one in the next 6 months

[glacial kelp]

6 months better than the 5 years I have read above 😄

[livid idol]

Who said 5 years?! The new fabs will start coming online in a little over a year, with more on the table depending on how much they incentivized. I give it two years from now before we see production start to meet demand again.

[livid idol]

Ohh warranties

I'm too lazy to read everything lol

[glacial kelp]

Me too 😄 I only saw 5 years 😄

[cerulean rover]

Tsmc Arizona fab is expected 2024, Samsung fab was planned for q3 2023...?

[livid idol]

They'll accelerate that timeline I'm sure with the government stipends

[cerulean rover]

Which fab is coming online in a year?

...

These plans are from after the government injection of cash and such

I wouldn't expect it to go faster

[livid idol]

That was after? Then it didn't change at all, great

[cerulean rover]

Intel Arizona fab also 2024 iirc, if that matters.

Yea pretty sure they only started on the fabs because of the money lel

[livid idol]

Well that kinda matters, since they've offered their fab space auctioned to the highest bidder

[cerulean rover]

(government money)

Forgot if it was Taiwan or US that invested billions in tsmc, pretty sure same thing with Samsung

[livid idol]

Taiwan is struggling with their drought still right? Or did they get their saving grace monsoon they hoped for?

[heady turtle]

intel do be building a load of fabs tho, they building new one in ireland as well atm

[glacial kelp]

If there is money to be made they will do their best.

[heady turtle]

intel love their plant in ireland tho, they basically on a river so unlimited water

[glacial kelp]

I still remember drives getting more expensive because of floods in Asia, so it's a safe bet to expand factories in all areas of the world, so they can mitigate issues like that, and the growing needs.

This pandemic taught that lesson for many industries.

Also, taxes. Everybody should have factories in all tax unions, NA, SA, Europe, Asia, hell why not even in Antarctica 😄

VAT should make the difference for cheap labor, and local risks.

[clever pagoda]

why did they shut down the Xc3 :/

[green harness]

limited volume of cards

[clever pagoda]

Ik but still I wanna auto notify for the cheapest card lol

[green harness]

I'd love to as well, but that one got pulled very quickly. imo I'd rather they not just stack notifies in the queue that realistically aren't going to be fulfilled

[leaden birch]

Just curious if anyone can shed more light on the shuffle for me, if you generally don’t get an email at 12pm PT/3pm ET are you just out of luck or do people actually get emails later in the day?

[heady turtle]

there are people that get emails a bit later on in the day yeah

[green harness]

Yeah, I got one at like 7pm EDT. It was at least 2 hours into the notification window at that time

[leaden birch]

Okay thanks guys! I’m sure like a lot of people I’m just trying to get a GPU to finally finish my computer build lol

Trading two 3070s for a 3090 strix worth

[livid idol]

Value-wise yes, but imo no the 3090 is overkill

[clever pagoda]

Trading a 1070 ti for car

[livid idol]

You could probably exchange for a '90 Saturn or something

[clever pagoda]

Fair trade imo

[glacial kelp]

Trading one 1060 6gb with two 3090, any model.

[sonic vigil]

Oh my.... watching a Linus video from September -- and he comments that the 2080 Super is still selling for 600$, and just wait a little bit to get the 3080...... 🤣

Imagine easily getting a 2080 Super for 600$ right now

I'd do it, in a heartbeat

[glacial kelp]

They were complaining in the summer that 2080 ti goes for 245-300 pounds.

Imagine now 😄

There was a forum thread with specifically those complaints

[sonic vigil]

If I knew, I would have bought a card... any card....

hell or dip into savings and buy EVERY card I can 😄

If only I had futuresight 😄

[glacial kelp]

There was one in that thread that foretold this.

He said he is buying a GPU now, that was early autumn, end of summer, because prices will grow because people stay home.

He literally said that.

And got a GPU

[sonic vigil]

I was only looking at the possibility of a production slouch, I NEVER considered the fact that the numbers for demand would go up so high

smart dude

[glacial kelp]

It's still ok for the patient ones, just registed on evga for a gpu, and wait a few months I guess.

[sonic vigil]

I did something similar enough.... I moved in the summer, left my old pc in the islands, assuming that in September or December at the latest I'd get a new 3080 at a reasonable price

So, here I am with my new PC, summer is here, and still no video card

[glacial kelp]

I have no idea how much does it last. I am in the queue and waiting 😄

[glacial kelp]

Same position. 5900 cpu and 1060 gpu

It's not a big issue tho, cause for now I don't play gpu intensive games.

[sonic vigil]

Money was actually getting tight due to starting a new business, and what I could spare for a card kept shrinking -- I finally just said screw it, dropped 500$ on a new bike, and dumped the rest into the business (only like 300$ at that point)

[glacial kelp]

I wonder why they got jumped. Too many notifications registrations?

I have 2, one for 3060ti and one for 3070

Maybe I should remove one.

Hm, I wonder if I should remove one notification.

[sonic vigil]

I actually just got a new pone for my job -- got the S21 Ultra -- and a controller -- just playing on there to not got crazy

My big issue though is I'm an indy game developer, and I've just given up on trying to do 3d development at 1 - 5 fps

Takes me like 90x longer to do anything

tolls get so finicky at that framerate

haha that does not sound like a well working phone

This is my first forray into Android

[glacial kelp]

Factory reset?

[sonic vigil]

Mine was from.... 2015

[glacial kelp]

Smash reset?

With a brick preferably

[sonic vigil]

lol yeah sounds like a fault

I was lucky -- my biggest issue was a lower and lower battery capacity -- but it was usable

I got the S21 for just 200$ out of pocket 😄

S21 Ultra*

When I got my first phone android was just so insecure

My ex wife would get all kinds of popups and security issues, even viruses

and she only added apps through proper channels

so I was happy with my iphone, and it was jailbroken so I was not being abused by apple too much

oh no she'd get like system level popups constantly, it was just annoying

it was because apps could pretty much do what they wanted back then

they didn't need permission

but, so far, so good with android

and my wife hasn't had a single issue since we've been married

haha mine is so much shorter

iPhone 5
iPhone 6s+
S21 Ultra

All bought new, and all high end phones when I got them

My ex wife killed the 5 -- she put it in a cooler with ice, in a bag.... then took it out, out of the bag, on a humid hot day

the phone flooded from the inside out 😄

Because you're an adult?

You're not going to be part of this system!

haha no I'm just thinking of the Lonely Island song 😄

[magic wing]

Ahh yes jailbroken iphone is where its at

[chilly spoke]

How much are 6700xt selling for?

[sonic vigil]

sadly they do what they can to make that impossible

[cerulean rover]

I mean, aib partners are selling them at like 1200$ and that's not even scalpers

[chilly spoke]

oh wow okay

[magic wing]

And fail miserably

[sonic vigil]

But it was enough to drive me to android

[chilly spoke]

Is the newegg 6700xt bundle with an itx b550 mobo worth it for $1200?

[livid idol]

Only if you want to make an ITX build

[chilly spoke]

haha okay

Newegg's price is even higher than stockx resale prices : o

[magic wing]

Tbh tho the 6700xt isnt worth a 1200 bundle

[cerulean rover]

Ya, it's not worth it, but it's sold at a very high price

[chilly spoke]

okay yeah

[magic wing]

6700xt isnt a great card tbh

[chilly spoke]

both shuffle wins have been bad : (

[livid idol]

I'm not even bothering to try to get 6000 cards, overpriced at retail

[cerulean rover]

Ye

[magic wing]

It loses to the 3060ti in some cases

[cerulean rover]

Mhm

[chilly spoke]

i9 11900k and 6700xt LMAO

I wish i could get a 3060 ti

[livid idol]

11900 cringe

[cerulean rover]

Except for mem oc apparently

But sucks in everything else

[runic crypt]

Hey, I realized I didn't need a 30 series card for 3D artwork. I instead settled for a 1050 Ti, 4GB. It might be "low-end," but it works for what I need. It was only 120 USD as well.

[heady turtle]

Nice

[karmic crag]

hey i have a 3a xl

great phone

[runic crypt]

Nice!

[keen flower]

I have an Aorus X590 Pro AX what graphic cards are compatible with this motherboard. I have a Defore Card 560 AND IT definitely does not work with this board. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

[heady turtle]

What cpu do you have?

Do you mean x570?

[keen flower]

sorry its z z590 and I have an amd cpu

[heady turtle]

Z590 doesn't fit amd cpus?

That's for intel

But any graphics card from the last 10 years will fit

But the graphics card situation atm is 💩 fyi

[keen flower]

Sorry I have a Z590 AORUS ELITE AX motherboard with a AMD processor

[tender mulch]

X570 you mean?

Z590 is Intel, can't put an AMD cpu in it

[heady turtle]

Or if you bought the parts separate and haven't assembled yet you're gonna need to return one of those parts

[keen flower]

I am sorry it is an intel cpu....I am getting rummy in my old age and just upgraded two computers one with an amd and the other with an intel...I have a 10th generation intel 1/9 in the z590

[heady turtle]

Ahh makes more sense yeah, well any graphics card from like the last 10 years will fit but as i said but the market for graphics cards is 💩 atm, I'd recommend using the integrated graphics til you can get a graphics card if you want to game, if you don't want to game or something else gpu intensive, the integrated gpu will work for you

[keen flower]

No not into games at all just want good graphics...my spouse is a illustrator and she demands good graphics on her computer

[heady turtle]

If you just mean 1080p regular desktop use, the integrated ones will look the same as a 1000$ dedicated graphics card

[keen flower]

Ok thanks for the info greatly appreciate it

[heady turtle]

Np

[supple socket]

did u get a real one? just want to know

it was this one

apparently there was a 20% off coupon so i got it for 95

[tender mulch]

That's nowhere near a 1050TI

[runic crypt]

what is that then

[tender mulch]

an HD7670

Ancient GPU

[runic crypt]

oh no

[tender mulch]

from 2012

😦

[runic crypt]

how old

oh

[tender mulch]

Scores worse than integrated Vega 8 according to that chart

Card is almost a Decade old now, almost 10 years

[runic crypt]

how much does 1050 ti go for then?

but thank you for that

canceled any order of it

[tender mulch]

I can't say right now, they're all over the place

Any new 1050Ti you see for 100-120 is most likely a scam

[runic crypt]

oof

[tender mulch]

Any of them with a cooler like this in blue, red, green or yellow is a scam

It's a really old GPU with a hacked BIOS to say it's a 1050TI

[runic crypt]

i saw some of those

oh no

bootlegs?

[tender mulch]

Mmm, more like old GTX450's with a modified VBIOS

[runic crypt]

kinda like ordering anything from wish?

[tender mulch]

Yep

Except now they're on Amazon, Ebay and once a great while Newegg as well :/

[runic crypt]

on newegg too? my gosh

[tender mulch]

Well

Third party sellers

LIke on Amazon

NOt Newegg themselves but listed in the Marketplace

[pale canopy]

Yo just got that new Intel uhd 630 🥵

[runic crypt]

nice

[pale canopy]

Cause I can't find a single gpu available

In my price range that is

[runic crypt]

yeah that's unfortunate

does intel make good ones too?

[pale canopy]

Bruh

Do you not know what it is

They come with all Intel cpus

[runic crypt]

sorry i was mistaken

[pale canopy]

It's integrated

[cerulean rover]

Not all

[pale canopy]

Yeaj

My b

[runic crypt]

i was confusing it for video cards

[cerulean rover]

Just 10th and 9th gen get 630 iirc

11th gen gets uhd 730 and 750

[pale canopy]

I meant integrated gpus not the model of them

[cerulean rover]

Not all

Every -f CPU doesn't have an iGPU

[pale canopy]

Who gets f cpus

[cerulean rover]

a lot of people

[pale canopy]

Hm

I've only seen 1 of my friends use one and he switched it out like next month

[cerulean rover]

pretty sure most xeon chips don't get one either

look at all the people with 10900kf

or 10600kf

or 10400f

or 11900kf

[spare relic]

or orange

[livid idol]

Orange is sus, just look near the vents

[rich wraith]

someone here told me that best buy wasn't selling gpus in person anymore..

[tender mulch]

They weren't until this last drop. 3080TI was in person only.

[rich wraith]

and we know for sure the 3070 ti won't be?

[tender mulch]

We don't know anything about that yet

Best Buy Corporate made an announcement the day before the drop

About the 3080TI being in store only

https://corporate.bestbuy.com/what-to-know-about-nvidias-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-founders-edition-graphics-card/

Keep your eyes open for something like this again

[upper imp]

Any card drops

[cerulean rover]

Was a 3070 drop on amazon like 2 hours ago

[peak moth]

whats a good cpu to pair with a 2080

to not get stuttering

[livid idol]

5600X, 5800X, 5900X, 11400, 11500, 11600, 10700, 10900

[peak moth]

ok ty

[stuck plinth]

My MSI laptop with a 1060 is overheating. It’s 3 years old. So I want to build a pc. However, it’s a bit of a pain to get a graphics card at MSRP. How do I snag one before scalpers grab them?

[cerulean rover]

Notification services if you think you're fast enough, Newegg shuffle otherwise.

[hot folio]

I am so damn lucky, one of my best friend’s brothers got a job at microcenter last week and he is going to try to save a 3070ti for me on its launch

[stuck plinth]

I’d be happy with a 3060. How much of a difference is there in the ti models?

[hot folio]

The 3060 normal is a waste of money for anything about its MSRP

There’s about a 40-50% performance gap between the 3060 and 3060ti
