I’ve learned from the 5900x hunt so I think my chances and the time it’ll take will probably be similar

#

Took me about a month and a half to get the 5900x

slim vessel
#

i've been entering the shuffle for a month pluss now

fossil talon
#

I stopped trying lol and now 5900x stock is getting so much better

weak cape
#

Yeah it was still GPU levels of bad

fossil talon
#

Oh for sure

livid idol
#

If the GPU looks too small in the O11 just get a large reservoir

#

Fill in that space

weak cape
fossil talon
#

Eh, it will still look weird

weak cape
#

So no need for any other res

#

It’s a pump res and in-out for everything, all in one

#

Probably wouldn’t be worth it to buy a big res just to fill in the space when I’d have the distro plate already

#

Yeah the pump is a D5 at 1500l/h too so

#

I kept screwing up that spec lmao, but anyways yeah I’ll use two 360mm radiators to keep up with a 3080 and the 5900x, and hopefully that combined with maybe hard lines although soft might look better imo should turn out to be pretty cool

dense osprey
#

would u be there for me

No

Definitely not Nice

gg!

heady turtle
halcyon plover
#

1350$ . Didnt get 3080 yet so im using my old 1060 for now . I hope i will get one in the next week or 2

heady turtle
#

Good luck 🤞

halcyon plover
#

Thanks

heady turtle
#

Surprised you didn't keep the 3070 till you got the 80 tbh lol

#

But for 1350 can't complain

halcyon plover
#

Yeah.. its pretty good i mined with it like 50+ days

#

Not 100 lol

heady turtle
#

Also you still a 1060 which is decent as a fall back

halcyon plover
#

1060 6gb is not so bad

#

I can still play all games just not high settings

heady turtle
#

Mine would have been a r9 380 4gb but i sold that for €170 as soon as i got my 3070 cuz basically got 5 years out of that card for free lol

halcyon plover
#

Nice

heady turtle
halcyon plover
#

I dont know if i want to sell my 1060s

#

Its always good to have extra gpu

#

Maybe i will sell one of them

heady turtle
#

That's fair

heady turtle
#

I'd sell one if i were you

halcyon plover
#

Yeah my brother had 1 too so when we get our 3080s we will probably sell one

#

We sold both gpus for 2700

heady turtle
#

XD

#

Nice

halcyon plover
#

Yeah not bad

#

Im not gaming alot rn too so i dont mind

heady turtle
#

That's fair yeah

#

And tbh 1060 level will play most games smooth at low/med

#

And i play most games at that anyway to get all the fps

#

XD

halcyon plover
#

Yeah i used to play warzone competitons on that lol

#

Had like 70-80 fps

heady turtle
#

It's really not as bad as people make it out to be, they're like low quality :o but i play that way still and there's hardly a diff for the fps tank that you get

halcyon plover
#

Yeah

idle idol
#

looks like the GTX 1650 prices are going down slowly

timid narwhal
idle idol
#

one is going for 120$ in ebay rn.

halcyon plover
#

Scam probably

daring minnow
#

cheapest one that isnt a scam is $289

#

these two are scams

idle idol
#

looks like the 300$ GTX 1650 super is the better option then.

daring minnow
#

not really

#

a $250-$270 GTX 980 is

timid narwhal
idle idol
#

yea, my dad is schizo with the older gen graphics cards.

#

I told him he is on sum bs, because they are still do good in 2021.

daring minnow
#

for the current market, this isnt too bad of a deal for its performance: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184874257880?hash=item2b0b5d4dd8%3Ag%3ATtAAAOSwwTtgvTUy&LH_BIN=1&LH_ItemCondition=3000

its similar to a GTX 1660 in gaming, but its a 300W card, so it needs a lot of power

daring minnow
#

probably be fine

#

i wouldnt see why not

Only? There is no way you couldnt find something else for under C$1000. RX 580/570, GTX 1070/Ti, GTX 1060 3/6gb all should be well under C$1000.

heady turtle
heady turtle

#

True, but yea much better options than a 1650 for under C$1000

astral mist

#

At least locally

drowsy kiln
#

Wait 2-3 days for shipping for ~75% better card, or buy locally? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ofc i lose cell reception as soon as I get to work

#

In December I picked up an R9 290X to use temporarily in my old rig i gave to a friend while I waited for my 3060

drowsy kiln
astral mist
#

Budget at that time was $300 tops, the friend who just built the rig told me after the fact.

drowsy kiln
#

Oh well that makes so much more sense, your saying that the whole build was C$1000. Thought you meant that your friend paid C$1000 for a 1650.

astral mist
#

Nooooo

#

Okay there are two different friends who are involved with this conversation

#

Friend A was the one I gave my i7-4790k + GTX 1070 build to in November, the other was the person who built a PC last month and bought a 1650 for about $100 too much because he couldn't find any new GPU less than $1000 and really isn't computer savvy.

heady turtle
astral mist
#

I'm garbage at articulation

heady turtle
#

For a 1000 build a 1650 is decent

astral mist
#

I dont know how much his build cost

heady turtle
astral mist
#

I said my friend mentioned "it was the only GPU under $1000 he could find"

astral mist
#

Yeah, nah I'd never pay $1,000 for a GPU unless it was top tier.

#

3080 Ti being $2,200CAD is highway robbery

karmic crag
#

1000 could get you a scalped 3060. you shouldn't buy from scalpers, but that really puts it into perspective

heady turtle
karmic crag
#

that's an excellent price

#

550 is about the max amount that i'd pay for a 3060ti

astral mist
astral mist
karmic crag
#

oh even better

#

i meant $550 USD is the max amt. i'd pay, 455 USD is a great buy

heady turtle
astral mist
#

3090 is $2,500 CAD for the cheapest model

#

Being scalped for $4,000+

heady turtle
#

Yeah so bout 300$ is cheaper than 3090 seems right tho

#

Since the 80 ti is basically a 90

karmic crag
#

what are they doing to you guys over there

heady turtle
#

Idk around 20s is the standard vat rate in Europe

#

Yall in NA has smol vat

karmic crag
#

it's sales tax over here

#

i live in the states, so it varies depending on where you are

heady turtle
#

But isnt the largest sales tax in the us like 10%?

karmic crag
#

my state has a sales tax that's about a third of yours

heady turtle
#

Yeah exactly lol

karmic crag
#

it's not universal, some states have none

heady turtle
#

Ik lol :(

#

So lucky

drowsy kiln
#

Yea, I've got 6%. Couldn't imagine 23% tax

heady turtle
#

3070 for 720 wasn't so bad anymore 😛

drowsy kiln
#

If I could get a 3070 for $720 it wouldn't be bad. Issue is getting it for $720.

heady turtle
#

Well 720€ but still

drowsy kiln
#

Yea so about $850 if I can do mental math.

heady turtle
#

Bout €550 before tax

drowsy kiln
#

True, but even at $850 not bad. Cheapest I can get them is $1000 from a local company

heady turtle
#

Yeye and I've already mined a good bit with it

drowsy kiln
#

Yea, I've debated mining with my 1070-Ti get the cost of the card down to 0. Currently it's costed me $90 so even a week of mining should be able to offset the cost.

tender mulch
#

Uh

#

will take longer than that

heady turtle
tender mulch
#

my 3070 is at $4 a day

#

Bad time to mine right now

drowsy kiln
#

Oh, last time I looked a few months ago could make ~$500 a month with 4x RX 570s.

#

True yea prices dropped a lot, I don't keep up with pricing at all.

heady turtle
#

Even at crypto spike prices it's 6-7$ with a 3070

heady turtle
drowsy kiln
#

So yea still not bad, about a month and a week

heady turtle
#

Tbf yeah

#

Well that's an approximation mb 6 weeks

drowsy kiln
#

In about 8 or so months could offset the cost of my entire build. Cost me $545 to build.

heady turtle
#

Nice

#

Well that's assuming crypto doesn't drop off but yeah

#

Free /almost free build

drowsy kiln
#

True, could very easily drop off. But could very easily jump up again.

heady turtle
#

Yeah true

drowsy kiln
#

Especially with computer market planning to go back to normal hopefully end of next year, would be nice to have a build that cost nothing to build

#

Sell it just before market dies and take whatever it sells for + $545 can easily get some 3070 rig with it.

sinful falcon
#

BB drop today?

heady turtle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tender mulch
#

Nah, Thursday for the 3070TI

fossil talon

They haven't done every other Tuesday in months

#

Kijiji is Canada's craiglist

heady turtle
#

They clearly didn't look very hard lol

fossil talon
#

You can't really scalp 3090 and prices are going down

#

Before 3070s were going $1800CAD and now with the crypto crash and other circumstances, they are now back down to $1500 CAD (scalped pricing)

heady turtle
#

Are they ?

drowsy kiln
#

Honestly C$3600 isn't too bad for a 3090. Thats ~US$3000 which is what most go for. And at C$2500 think thats about US$2000. While I have no need for a 3090 $2000 is less than 2080-Tis are going for.

fossil talon
#

Yep

#

Still not buying though lol

heady turtle
#

Ohh helll no

fossil talon
#

Exhibit A, just listed an hour ago, $1350. 2 months ago this was selling at $1700-1800

The $2800 MSI 3090 I saw the other day is no longer listed, but prices are near this picture

#

Sadly I know some of these guys

timid narwhal
#

I honestly think that people have reached their limit. The prices are sky high, but there is stock, which wasnt the case even a month ago. The general paublic has decided that this is ridiculous

fossil talon
#

Yep

timid narwhal
#

in my part of the world anyway

fossil talon
#

The only ones buying now are either desperate or miners

#

Actually even miners aren't buying as much anymore

heady turtle
#

Yeah i have a feeling miners haven't been buying gpus(especially scalped) for at least a month or 2

karmic crag
#

i stopped bothering with best buy, even though they're pretty much the only way to get a card for msrp

#

the newegg souffle is my only hope

glacial kelp

ha

cerulean rover

Few months

and get a card in 4 years?

glacial kelp

But that's another story.

karmic crag
#

6 isn't that bad actually

#

but i'm not that desperate for a card right now, because of my temp 580

#

it gets the job done

green harness

It depends on which queue you're looking at, but yeah the EVGA queues will take a while

@tender mulch did you use the app or the website?

tender mulch
#

Website

#

Click add to cart, when it says please wait, WAIT and don't refresh. When it turns yellow again, add to cart and check out as fast as you can. I had to choose a pickup location 1.5 hours from me but it worked.

#

If you refresh while it says Please Wait you lose your spot in line

Okay thank you

YW

I’m trying to get a 3060ti so I’m just hoping for a lucky drop

heady turtle
lime basin
#

Im only gonna get one at MSRP

#

so I can wait until that happens

heady turtle
#

2025 xd

lime basin
#

also since the cryto rate of return has drastically slowed down we might see an influx of cards from people who are mad the money machine is slow

#

I was gonna buy a 3060 off a guy who was using it to mine but he wanted 700 for it 💀

heady turtle
#

Doubt still pretty profitable

lime basin
#

relatively, but not as high as the greedy people wanted

#

it's like the scalpers, they just want the most money in the shortest amount of time. Once this is over they'll move onto the next thing lol

#

At least that's what is the vibe of the people I know in the market

2025 could be 5000s series actually

2025 is when we’ll be able to get 3000 series into our hands

In my country the equivalent shops of newegg sell for at least 4xmsrp all RTX models 😄

# idle idol another RX 6700 xt gone,

If you're in the US Microcenter seems to have a steady stock of AMD GPUs. They're pricy, but about the same as on Newegg from shuffle anyway. Nvidia cards still sell out the minute they open.

hot folio
#

Microcenters usually only have 6700xts and 6900xts from my experience

#

I’ve never seen a 6800/6800xt in any of the microcenters by me

Update on GPU issue from about a week ago, we found a ROG STRIX 2060 for $509 (after tax) at Microcenter and replaced the RX 550.

#

I've never once seen a 3060 ti in stock anywhere, even Best Buy drops

#

(Shuffle doesn't count but there's only been a few anyway)

vital pivot
#

They had a few on the shuffle. Not much though

livid idol
#

I don't count shuffle as "in stock" because of the way it's organised. You're in a raffle for the right to purchase the products. Kinda sucks but it's the best we have now tbh.

vital pivot
#

Yeah and it sucks

#

My buddy built his box finally with the 3060 I got for him from a shuffle

shy sluice
#

I finally got my TUF-RTX3060-O12G looking right. Swapped out the RGB strip I put in with and aRGB strip. There's like 41 LEDs in there now

Nah it’s #pride month

Yeah. That base 3060 had zero LEDs

old pic btw. My AIO is a Freezer II & it's on the top

haha not anymore

#

RGB strips are usually 10mm. I foudn the aRGBs at 5mm wide so they fit so much easier

its beefier than the 750ti no?

1080ti is

1080ti is cheaper than 30 series no?

lone pond
#

not today lol

pallid monolith
#

ahhh. but the componenets you would need to support a 10 series is cheaper than 30 series no?

magic wing
#

less power psu if you go for a 3060ti

lone pond
#

only psu may be effected but gpu is gpu

timid narwhal
magic wing
#

3060ti beats the 1080ti while being cheaper and consuming less power

#

and thats a fact

lone pond

yeah 3060ti is best card for price but its really hard to get now

magic wing
#

so is a 1080ti

lone pond

but 3060 is easy to get and cheap tho

magic wing

lol

#

but not highend cards for good price

magic wing
#

Doesnt mean they are easy to get

you got lucky

thats it.

making statements off a sample size of 1 is extremely dumb

umm maybe idk lol still id say 3060 is easy to get than 3060ti 🤔

if thats what you would say

how does the 16 series compare to the 30 series

yeah tomorrow is 3070ti launch day so good luck everyone to get card...

timid narwhal
timid narwhal
pallid monolith
timid narwhal
#

streaming? then get at least a 20 series

lone pond
magic wing
lone pond
#

and yeah market getting drying day by day

magic wing
#

or rather the 1660s

lone pond
#

im glad i got cards early

timid narwhal
#

yeah, 16 have nvec but I dont think they can handle gaming and streaming at 1080p at the same time

timid narwhal
#

well not well anyway

magic wing
#

which brings me to the next question

#

what game ya gonna be streaming @pallid monolith

pallid monolith
#

like league, val, dota 2, csgo

#

@magic wing

magic wing
#

all those a 1660 can handle

#

my suggestion is either get a 3060ti for under 450

#

or a 1660 super for around 300

#

the 3060ti is your best bet if you gonna camp

lone pond
#

or amd 6700xt for msrp

pallid monolith
#

i would like to stream some more titles in the future, like red dead, gta, apex so i'll take you up on that

magic wing
lone pond
#

I dont like amd much either but got amd cards (6800xt and then 6900xt) since cant get 3080 or 90 but its better than nothing 🤔

timid narwhal
#

3060 bud. or if you can get a good price for a used 2070 maybe.

lone pond
#

yeah id say 6800 for 580$ is great since most 3060s are about to 500$

magic wing
#

3060ti FAR better at not a big price increase

#

2070 is about as good as a 3060

timid narwhal
#

yeah? I am just unde the impression that the 3060ti is FREAKIN hard to get, cos all of their chips are put into 3070s?

lone pond
#

I have 3070 vision for gaming and its great card for 1080p max retting with ray tracing

magic wing
timid narwhal
#

ok, my bad

#

but the 3060 and 2070s would be much better than the 1660s, for future proofing. prices being reasonable ofc

magic wing
#

also its a great card

#

and a massive upgrade over that 750ti OP uses

timid narwhal
#

true true

pallid monolith
#

i wrote your recommendations down, i'll keep u posted @magic wing

#

the 750ti is amazing

magic wing
#

its 7 years old now

pallid monolith
#

i'm still able to stream val, league, dota 2 (with decent internet connection)

pallid monolith
#

timid narwhal
#

3070ti reviews going up.

vital pivot
#

And they are not kind

timid narwhal
#

why should they be?

heady turtle
#

3070 ti looks alright, especially if you can snag one at msrp

timid narwhal
#

all except linus, who lives in fantasy land

vital pivot
#

Oh You should watch gamersnexus 3070ti review. He spent half of it educating the shill.

heady turtle
#

Ehh i mean it performed about the middle of most games between 70 and 80

green harness
#

Yeah, but the uplift from a 3070 is not great for the price

#

It's not surprising, but both Ti cards don't offer good value

vital pivot
#

Absolutely not

heady turtle
green harness
#

imo the biggest value offered is that it means new EVGA queues are opening so some people might be able to get better spots in those queues

timid narwhal
vital pivot
#

They should have just made more non ti cards.

timid narwhal
green harness
#

Yeah it's like what 7% faster than the 3070?

heady turtle
timid narwhal
vital pivot
#

Not really

green harness
heady turtle
green harness
#

ofc a bunch of people will still buy 3090s or 3080Tis just for gaming, but that doesn't make either good value

vital pivot
#

Oh don’t get me wrong. I’m for the economics of it.

#

But they are deliberately setting the prices well above profit

heady turtle
green harness
#

Eh no. The reviews I have seen put the 3080Ti at a very similar level as the 90

heady turtle
vital pivot
#

Eh it’s a mixed bag

tender mulch
#

3070TI is hot garbage. 7-10 FPS more for $100 :/

vital pivot
#

And then the AIBs will tack $200-300 on top of it

heady turtle
#

3070 is deff the sweet spot but if you can get one at msrp ntb

heady turtle
green harness
vital pivot
#

Yep

tender mulch
#

GN only tested 4 games

vital pivot
#

I’m with @green harness on this

tender mulch
#

Poor review IMO

green harness
vital pivot
#

That’s because the concentrate on the physical performance more

tender mulch
#

3080TI meets and even exceeds 3090 in more than a few games

green harness
#

And the two outlets did test different games, so it works out to more than 4

heady turtle
tender mulch
#

In a few things

green harness
tender mulch
#

Yep

heady turtle
tender mulch
#

There are even rumors of the 3090 stopping production now

And they're both bad value for gaming

They're all ripping on the 3070ti

As they should

7-10 FPS better for another $100 :/

Just overclock your 3070

How is founders edition cooling on the 30 series?

Not bad actually. Not as good as some AIB's but decent

Ok ill just wait

Last question how much would a 2060 sell

#

For

fossil talon
#

Rn you could scalp it lol for $200-400 more

#

Make profit, buy next card lol

#

Sorry i feel the need to scalp now as well

clever pagoda
#

I miss the weekly BB drops

dry pecan
#

I've been selected in the newegg shuffle. But I'm not sure if I should go for it lol.

#

mostly because I would have to buy a motherboard I don't want or need to go with it.

drowsy kiln
#

RTX 2060s are worth about $500 in current market, so if you get lucky and find a 2070 for about $500 it's a free upgrade. But for time being your not going to easily find anything much better than a 2070 (Unless you get lucky at BB drops of course) for $500.

drowsy kiln
#

Not really. eBay, OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace. Most if not all will be listed for $500+

keen nacelle
#

On ebay 2060s are going for more than that but ofc you have to account for fees and such

#

On r/hardwareswap if you want to sell there they tend to go for around 550

drowsy kiln
#

Well yea I'm saying $500 as in could sell in 24-48 hours price. You can definitely get more, but to get rid of it ASAP $500.

dry pecan
#

Asus TUF 3080ti and ROG Strix B550-F

#

but I'm not doing it.

#

Newegg is trying some shady crap. They have the same GPU listed under two different prices, and the one in this bundle is at $700 more than MSRP. The bundled parts separated aren't even worth $1400.

#

Sorry I ain't playing that game.

#

I didn't see that OC edition. All I see are all the specs matching. How is OC worth $700 more? That's crap.

#

oh well. Got all excited for nothing.

vital pivot
#

Don’t forget the pretty RGB adds 25%

#

But the binning price is utter BS

dry pecan
#

the cards are otherwise identical, RGB and all.

heady turtle
vital pivot
#

That’s why I’m only hitting on evga.

#

They for the most part have had msrp

#

Except for the overpriced PSU

heady turtle
#

Might have to be a 4080 XD

#

:o

heady stratus
#

But... have you heard of Ark?

magic wing
#

ARK isnt that hard to run tbh

heady stratus
#

Word, there are settings I still cannot max out with 11900k and 3090 combined

glacial kelp
#

Also rendering too much ground details may hamper your sight and be surprised

#

So you kind of need to make a choice, functionality or beauty.

#

That's beside the GPU.

#

I mean it's one thing when you play casual and dinos need 10 hours to kill you, and one thing when you suddenly get ripped apart by a dino that you didn't see getting closer 😛

#

Yup, the game is at core a multiplayer.

#

I loved it 😄 Sadly my friends don't really play mps

#

So that hampered me playing it as much as I wanted

river siren
#

i finally won a newegg shuffle boys! but not for what I wanted...

#

any1 want an ASRock Radeon RX 6900 XT PHANTOM GAMING D Graphics Card 16GB GDDR6 AMD RDNA2 (RX6900XT PGD 16GO) and ASRock B550 TAICHI AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard combo for $1994.98?

green harness
#

Ouch that price

glacial kelp
#

Thanks, but I am past Ark. I may casually check the latest DLC and that's it.

#

2 years ago, another story 😛

river siren
#

part of me wants to just scalp the card and make $500 but I wont turn to the dark side

magic wing
#

gimme

heady turtle
#

But if you need a card and are willing to pay that price, it is up there with 3090 in raster perf iirc

dry pecan
brave violet
#

wutt

heady turtle
river siren
#

i dont need it, im just looking to see if someone else would want the shuffle in my place

dry pecan
#

I'm a buyer only on there.

heady turtle
#

Thats fair, gl selling that then, unless you go door to door of desperate high end gamersXD

dry pecan
#

still, it's been the only chance I've had at getting a card at all so somehow it's still tempting to just be like F it and buy the overpriced bundle 🤣

vital pivot
#

Yeah

dry pecan
#

but....I'm resisting.

vital pivot
#

But. Let me warn you

#

Don’t mess with your cart

dry pecan
#

hm?

brave violet
#

so how you got the email so quickly?

river siren
#

u get it quickly if u win

brave violet
#

😦

dry pecan
#

shoot, I got it right at 2pm. My guess is no one's willing to pay that much for the OC TUF and ROG mobo combo lol

#

2pm Central that is

river siren
#

i only have about an hour to buy it or i guess it goes to the next guy

heady turtle
vital pivot
#

I have lost shuffles due to removing items from my cart. And once your cart is touched you either tap it like it’s hot or pass

brave violet
vital pivot
#

Most of my wins came at 6pm EST

dry pecan
#

yeah... I'm just gonna have to pass this time.. I can't justify it

vital pivot
#

Honestly.

#

Yea I agree. The $700 is to much

dry pecan
#

if it was $700 less I'd absolutely jump on it, and figure out what to do with the mainboard later. But I'm not dropping 2k on something I don't need.

vital pivot
#

Binned it not binned.

river siren
#

how do u pass on the shuffle? just remove from cart?

brave violet
#

the times I entered the shuffle I get the email around 530PM PST\

heady turtle
river siren
#

removed it

#

maybe ill get lucky next time

#

if it was a 3080/ti/3090 i wouldve paid w/e the price

dry pecan
#

If it was a 3090 I'd have done it.

#

but yeah, not paying that for a 3080ti lol.

vital pivot
#

Honestly you can ignore it as Newegg will just do it for you when the time runs out.

heady turtle
supple socket
#

bc im cautious

heady turtle
#

Lol

vital pivot
#

So I just watched the LTt video on the 3070ti.

#

Heh Linus stands by his words. Then you look at the credits and he didn’t even write the script.

#

Pfft shill

green harness
#

Yeah, Linus always seems to just exude excitement about new tech. Doesn't really look at value. And then he does stuff like the 8k GPU videos....

#

He's an entertainer not an informer

heady turtle
green harness
#

I mean it's all a question of goals. I think with his goal of having this large media group and huge audience he'd have to lean into the entertainment side. I think a channel more focused on information is destined to have a smaller audience in general

timid narwhal
green harness
#

I didn't watch Linus' as I've mostly stopped watching his reviews. I only watch him for odd tech and such

timid narwhal
#

It was quite dull actually.

#

His conclusion: if you can buy a 3070ti at msrp, do it, because its better value than anything at scalper prices. Which doesn't even make sense!

dry pecan
#

how does it compare to a stock 3080?

timid narwhal
dry pecan
#

pff. so another cash grab in other words.

timid narwhal
#

yeah, even worse than the 3080ti

magic wing
#

nvidia has been saying they doing stuff for gamers and then exploiting the situation at the same time

timid narwhal
#

and if you can sell something for 20% more, then you do that.

magic wing
#

true

green harness
timid narwhal
#

exactly. just a bs statement

dense osprey
#

yo

#

do u guys think i should sell my 3070 and use a 6700xt instead

#

I get to save more money that way

brave violet
#

not sure

#

hard decision

dense osprey
#

ik

#

super hard

#

is it worth sacrificing some performance

green harness
dense osprey
green harness
#

Ah, that makes it trickier. If you don't really care about RTX, DLSS, and NVENC, then that's fine, if you care about those things then keep the 3070

#

I was going to say if you don't have the 6700xt just stick with the 3070, but this is closer to personal preference I think

dense osprey
#

i dont stream so i dont need nvec

#

but dlss i kinda care about

green harness
#

yeah AMD's competing technology for DLSS isn't out yet so it's hard to say how good it will be. Chances are it won't be as good as DLSS 2.0

dense osprey
#

yea i figured

#

Well i guess il see

#

RTX is pretty cool though but i dont see my self using it that much

green harness
#

yeah it hasn't been implemented in too many games and it still comes with a big performance hit

magic wing
#

There are no chances involved

what is a reasonable price for a gtx 1070

Reasonable as in what you should pay or what you should sell for in this market?

If looking to buy I’d say $200 is a fair price but most are selling for closer to $400

1070's are boss
