guys

i can get a 3090 right now

but its a massive bundle

should i do it

[normal hawk]

1700$ :s

[tender mulch]

3090 is only worth it for rendering/CAD work etc

[normal hawk]

^

[tender mulch]

It's not a great gaming GPU compared to 3080

for the power it consumes

[dense osprey]

fax

[tender mulch]

Need a beefy as heck PSU for it

[dense osprey]

yea u right

im not getting it

but my goal is a 3070 ti and i saw a location 1.5 hrs away from me

[normal hawk]

850w enough for a 3090? 🤔

[dense osprey]

i tried to get it this morning but

[tender mulch]

Barely

~500W transients

[dense osprey]

in store was priority so i missed it

[tender mulch]

so with an intel CPU pulling 300W it's cutting it close

[normal hawk]

A 5950x though?

[tender mulch]

Should be fine, they don't pull watts like Intel does

I think those are 200W?

[normal hawk]

Could get HP's OEM 3090 for 3000$ in a prebuilt 🤣 but people say the temps are bad. Was gonna ask about it earlier.

Cheapest prebuilt with a 3090 though that I've seen. Could possibly add a waterblock

[gray thistle]

what is every ones thought on daisy chaining psu cable to gpu? my psu has 2 pcie cables my gpu needs 3.

[heady turtle]

3060 ti, 3070 or 3070 ti, whichever you can get tbh they all basically the same performance 3060 ti isn't as good as 3070 but 70 ti is practically 3070 +extra money

[heady turtle]

If it's a 3 pin card, 1 daisy chain is probs fine, but what card and psu do you have?

[gray thistle]

msi 3080 ti seasonic focus gx 850

[normal hawk]

No 3080's in the shuffle :(

[heady turtle]

That's fine then yeah

[normal hawk]

Lemme win the PS5 Shuffle gods 🙏

[gray thistle]

@heady turtle thank you

[heady turtle]

Np :)

[tender mulch]

That should have 3-4. What happened to the other two?

[gray thistle]

hmm i'll check the box

i just thought it came with 2

[tender mulch]

Yeah it has five PCI-E slots but one will be CPU 8 pin power

SHould have come with all the cables

[gray thistle]

yea its brand new...i'll check

[halcyon plover]

Msi are rude

[gray thistle]

I just checked. I do have 3 cables...so it's all good. thanks

[dense osprey]

U sure the price to performance isn’t worth?

Compared to a 3070?

[green harness]

The 3070Ti doesn't offer much more performance compared to a 3070 and costs $100+ more

[normal hawk]

These are difficult times

[tender mulch]

yeah 3070TI is pathetic

[heady turtle]

3070 ti is only like 2 or 3% improvement

[clever pagoda]

Yup that's why imma sell the ROG 3070ti and buy a 3080

[echo glade]

let today be the day the great shuffle gods choose me and not a scalper

🙏🏿

[raven thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-umm-what-what-gif-14694719

[halcyon plover]

It is still worth it if you get it close to msrp

[tender mulch]

not really, it's not worth the price bump over 3070

[halcyon plover]

If someone need a gpu its better then a scapled one

[tender mulch]

It's $100 more for like 5 more FPS

[halcyon plover]

Yeah if you can choose the 3080/70 over it, its not worth it

[normal hawk]

Buy whichever one you can affordably

[quick rampart]

Unbelievable!! I actually got selected to buy the RTX3080Ti. Bundled of course! Soooo excited

[hot folio]

There weren’t any 3080tis today so i smell a bit of 🧢

[rustic pulsar]

I am now the proud owner of a 3060 (for around msrp too)

[hot folio]

Congrats!

[rustic pulsar]

Now... where to scalp

Im kidding, im using this thing

[winged pendant]

Lol right? By a 3080ti, he means a PS5…. 😂

Imagine dropping $849 for a PS5…. Talk about an L.

[lone pond]

F it's regular 1650 lol

[winter trench]

Yeah my bestbuy has ps5 in stock for retail

[heady turtle]

Only good if you can get for same price as 3070 and aint want to mine ether

[clever pagoda]

3080ti is more not worth it than a 3070ti

I think they really should of made the 3070ti a lot closer to a 3080 at the very least though

[native crow]

i'm missing one thing. a card

[heady turtle]

3080 ti is definitely better value over 3070 ti considering 3090 with less vram

[tender mulch]

Yes

and 3090 Perf

[normal hawk]

I want

[heady turtle]

Yeah exactly

[clever pagoda]

I mean idk mane, 599 vs 1199

[halcyon plover]

True, tho rvn mining makes almost same

[clever pagoda]

a 2080ti was the top of the line and was 1200$

and the 3080ti is only about 10% better at 500$ more vs 100$ for 8% better than 3070

[heady turtle]

It's equivalent to a 3090 in games, basically a 300$ cheaper 3090 if you compare msrp

[heady turtle]

The 80 ti cards have never been good value lol

[halcyon plover]

3080 is the best high end price to preformance

[heady turtle]

If you use nicehash to mine other coins yeah it's about the same lol

[clever pagoda]

I'd still say the 3080 would be more worth it if you don't want a 3070

[heady turtle]

Yeah but the 70 ti is basically a LHR 3070

[clever pagoda]

Anything higher costs an arm and leg

[clever pagoda]

Wish I could get a 3080

[humble geode]

Anywhere i can yoink a 3080 for under a 3090 price? So preferably under 900 dollars

[heady turtle]

Newegg Shuffle and best buy if you're in the US

[clever pagoda]

Microcenter if you have one near you

[heady turtle]

900 is gonna limit your 3080 options but there will be the odd few

[humble geode]

Im miles away from one plus best buy never has them where im from

[heady turtle]

Then newegg shuffle

[humble geode]

And ill keep looking

[heady turtle]

Zotac sell from their site acc iirc

[lone pond]

My 1650 cost about 150 usd like a year ago

[whole robin]

how much should I buy a 1650 for?

[tender mulch]

MSRP is $150. $160 for tyhe 1650 super. So somewhere around there

[distant bramble]

Yeah, please don't reward scalpers if you can help it. It's one thing if you absolutely need a graphics card but if it's something that you can hold out for, I'd say wait rather than reward a scalper.

[lone pond]

Think about it this way

If you overpay for a GPU now

Lets say the 1650

when the GPU "drought" is over

The money you spent on the overpriced 1650

Is equal to lets say 1660 super

[whole robin]

I’ve been waiting for a 3070 forever and I just want something to hold up

[lone pond]

Well if you can find something for msrp, go for it

[whole robin]

where should I try to buy from?

[distant bramble]

I can respect that. I mean my desktop is laying on its side right now because the fan on my graphics card is broken and laying it on its side is the only way to keep the fans on the heat spreader of my GPU

But I'm doing my best to hold out until I can actually pay to get a new card at MSRP

[whole robin]

how much longer do you think it’ll be?

[distant bramble]

No clue, I technically got selected the other day for the shuffle but the app didn't alert me on my phone and I didn't check my email until later in the evening so I completely missed my opportunity to buy

I was crossed with myself

[whole robin]

you actually got selected?

[distant bramble]

Yep

But it got forfeited

So I'm still putting my name in every time until something comes around again.

I'm going to make sure to check tonight at 8:00 Eastern. I've got reminders to check my email.

[tender mulch]

I had one

[rich wraith]

I was able to get a 6800xt by monitoring these Twitter boys that tell you when things come into stock. You have to act fast though:

@LeBlarstOfTimes, @Tech__Deals

[pine rapids]

bruh i jus impulse bought a 6800xt, is 1299 a decent price or no

[rich wraith]

That’s good, I bought a water cooled one for 1460

[pine rapids]

its the taichi gaming one

[whole robin]

I’ve got $450 rn and idk what to buy :/

[rich wraith]

You’ll want to save a bit more especially if you’re aiming for a 3070..

[pine rapids]

jus gonna cancel it lol

[whole robin]

well I have more but like I just want something cheaper for now @rich wraith

[pine rapids]

i already have a decent gpu and id rather spend 1500 on a laptop

[lone pond]

Any of y’all know when rtx cards restock again

[tender mulch]

During the shuffle or every two weeks at Best Buy

[hollow raptor]

On best buys on every other thursday (next thursday)

[lone pond]

Ah I see

Does Newegg regularly without the shuffle

[hollow raptor]

No to increase ppl getting gpus

And only best buy sells FEs

[lone pond]

Ah ok thx

[hollow raptor]

Yw

[whole robin]

I’m really about to buy a brand new 1070 for $400

[hot folio]

I feel that, I got selected twice and only found a month later because the emails got sent to my spam even though the rejected ones went to my inbox

[distant bramble]

Oh no D: That stinks

[dreamy dragon]

MysticWolf#6888 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hazy sorrel]

Hello I'm looking at a card on Amazon a 3070 to be exact and in the description it says the TiTac as the brand but in the description on item its says evga?

Is it a legit card or a fake?

[tender mulch]

Scam most likely

[hazy sorrel]

Kk thats what I was thinking I looked at a 3080 and it says evga as the brand

[opal sage]

That's what I say most likely a scam

[hot folio]

Today is the very first time my 6800xt actually brought its fans up to 100% and boy is it loud

BF V on 4K ultra settings with ray tracing

The fans spiked up to over 3000 rpm

[solemn panther]

should have gone nvidia

[hot folio]

Lmao I already have 2 Nvidia cards

My 3090 for work and I used to have a 3070 which I replaced with this 6800xt

And so far it’s killing the 3070 in most things at 4k

Of course thats without DLSS which anyway a lot of games I play don’t support it yet

[hazy sorrel]

Does anyone know what that ticTac means

I can't seem to find anything on it in any Google search lol

[cosmic bluff]

Thats the seller i believe

[hot folio]

Incredibly overpriced

[tender mulch]

Holy scalping

[hazy sorrel]

Oh yeah for sure I'm just window shopping haha

[clever pagoda]

I'm sell a Gt 710 for 1500$

[hot folio]

Imma sell my GeForce 6800 for 1600

Lmao

Wish I had one

I’m convinced some sucker out there would buy it thinking it’s a Radeon 6800

[clever pagoda]

it gets like half a hash rate

probably explode even attempting to mine

[hazy sorrel]

I just can't find anywhere to find info on what TiTac means

[hot folio]

Probably some Chinese scalper on Amazon

[hazy sorrel]

Yeah like this card it says it again

But I try to find any info on the web I can't find anything

[late haven]

is it safe to leave gpu fans running 100% 24/7???

[hot folio]

It will shorten the life span of the fans but it should be fine

[granite obsidian]

Whats a 460 2gb comparable to?

[hot folio]

About the same as an R9 270 and a bit below a GTX 780M

Or GTX 660

[clever pagoda]

this ROG 3070ti is massive compared to my 1070ti lol

[lone pond]

What is the best gpu to buy for scalper price? I have a 580 4gb atm and would need a decent upgrade, probably atleast a 2080 or a 30 series card

Or the equivalent of that in Radeon

[hot folio]

None really, try your luck with shuffle, BB drops or microcenter

Microcenter often has AMD cards but for retail scalped

6800xts are around 1.4k, 6800s are about 1.2k and 6700xts are about 900

Nvidia cards youre going to have to get lucky at microcenter

[lone pond]

I have 3 micro centers within 4 hours of me, 1 is an hour away

I may try for one at msrp as u said but that’s probably hell

[hot folio]

Where are you?

[lone pond]

Illinois

[hot folio]

New York?

Ahh ok

[lone pond]

2 in Chicago one in St Louis area

[hot folio]

I’m in new York and I also have 4 within an hour of me

One of which always has AMD cards in stock 24/7

[lone pond]

But idrk how often they restock nor am I gonna drive up there every day and camp out for a 30 series

So they will probably have them in stock here

[dreamy dragon]

Milk#1025 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lone pond]

Do I just call or will it say available only in store on the site or how would I know

[hot folio]

The one in Westmont has a 6900xt in stock for 1.6k

They don’t answer calls about stock

Just check their website and hope for the best

[lone pond]

I was told a Radeon card would probably be best bet, what’s a 6900xt equivalent too?

[hot folio]

3090

6800xt trades blows with a 3080 with no RT and DLSS

6800 kills the 3070 if not using RT and DLSS

6700xt is on par with the 3060ti if not using RT and DLSS

Overall Nvidia has better Raytracing

If you’re not using it AMD cards are just as good

If you want a card like tomorrow or the day after tomorrow go to Westmont Microcenter and you’ll be able to pick one up

[lone pond]

Wouldn’t be tomorrow, would be in the next month since I just dropped 1600 on a build without a gpu was just looking at my options when I get more money

All I care about is fps (my current game is rust) which is pretty cpu heavy so ordered a new one I’ll try and clock too 4.7-4.9 or something and see if that serves a big different then my current r5 3600 with no oc and prebuilt cooling

[hot folio]

If all you care about is FPS any of the Radeon cards should be fine

Personally I wouldn’t get the 6700xt because bad value for 1000 but it still would be a substantial upgrade over the 580

Pretty much impossible to find

and also stability issues with the OG 20 series so that’s a bit off putting

[lone pond]

How’s 2080 vs 6700xt

[hot folio]

Super series is fine if you can find it

[lone pond]

6700 is still best bet I assume

[hot folio]

Very similar

It would be easier to find the 6700xt

[lone pond]

Both like a thousand or 1100 on eBay Amazon ect

That’s probably what I’m looking to spend

Or could wait longer and go all out Idk yet or if it’s even worth

I know

But

[dreamy dragon]

Milk#1025 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lone pond]

If you can tell me how to get one for msrp without camping outside micro center

I can try for shuffles ect but probability is low isent it

[hot folio]

Camping outside of microcenter won’t get you one for MSRP

AMD direct or Best Buy are your best bets

AMD direct for AMD cards, Best Buy for Nvidia

With shuffle your chances are low and you’ll get something thrown in with the gpu

[lone pond]

So just watch the site like a hawk and get lucky

[hot folio]

AMD selling Nvidia gpus?!?!

Lmao

[lone pond]

There’s no set time amd restocks is there

[hot folio]

Yep that’s your best bet

[lone pond]

Isent there discord bots that give a notification when restock happens or something I can use that will

[coarse spindle]

I could use some help here

I don’t usually use laptops but i have this 1050 and i7 laptop that is having a pretty bad stuttering problem

I definitely set the games to use the 1050 and i am playing GTA 5 and 4, at settings a 1050 should easily do

I don’t think it is a thermal issue, it didn’t used to do this

[normal hawk]

Go less, laptop versions are slower than desktop versions. Same with CPU's

[magic wing]

20-30% slower

[normal hawk]

Yeah, reply to the other dude who wanted help lol

[tepid isle]

yo why does the new 6900xt watercooled ver. is only 120mm

y not 240

[south walrus]

because amd felt 120mm is enough for the card

[normal hawk]

I want but i don't know

[halcyon plover]

Not bad tbh

[heady turtle]

6900xt hard sell that high imo, the 3080 ti would be around that price and perform pretty much the same in raster but have all the Nvidia features

[fierce tapir]

Hehe 6900xt

[timid narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/nice-south-park-gif-17950420

[clever pagoda]

Anyone here got a rog strix?

I have a picture and everything seems fine, but there seems to be red flashing less on the back

[normal hawk]

Still haven't seen a comparison between them for UE5 and other rendering. Nvidia used to be better at that. But AMD's 6000 cards are supposedly better utilized in UE5 due to the partnership with Epic.

[heady turtle]

Really? I thought nvidia was still king in that

[normal hawk]

https://community.amd.com/t5/blogs/amd-partners-with-epic-games-in-unreal-engine-5-early-access/ba-p/473407

[heady turtle]

I see

[normal hawk]

Dunno how much it really means though

In comparison

[heady turtle]

Hmmm that's from amd tho not 3rd party so they can cherry pick data so idk

[normal hawk]

True

[subtle cove]

what would yall say are the 3080's that i should be looking out for?

[green harness]

Well any you can buy near current MSRP tbh. I personally think the EVGA and Asus models are the best bet

EVGA for solid products and the best customer service, Asus because their stuff is also really solid

I'm being a little more picky, but I did buy my gigabyte since I had the shot. Wouldn't buy MSI though personally as they're a sketchy company

[clever pagoda]

wish I could get a evga 3080 but the queue is still in 2020 lol

[green harness]

Same. Got a pre-order at a shop but fulfillment is somewhat slow so far

[clever pagoda]

do you need a voucher for microcenter cards?

[green harness]

Generally yeah. From what I have heard some stores are doing a shuffle now to end camping. So people stop by the store around 9 and enter on their phone, then some people get chosen around 9:30. But it may not be at all stores so ymmv

[heady turtle]

The cheapest one thats not a dell/hp oem version you can get

[spare elm]

What's the difference between a graphics card and a video card? Which one is better?

[green harness]

No difference

Dell also uses as many proprietary formats and components as they can, making their PCs really hard to upgrade

[heady turtle]

Just a different name

[lone pond]

Hello I have a question I have 100$ to buy a graphic card and I am building a computer to play minecraft on what is a card I should in that price range

[tender mulch]

use Integrated graphics. $100 doesn't buy you much of a GPU right now. Shoot for an Intel 11400/500 CPU and use the built in graphics until you have more money for a graphics card.

[heady turtle]

This needs to be pinned XD

[subtle cove]

what about the Eagle one?

[heady turtle]

If you can get it for the closest to msrp(700$) and you get the chance yeah sure

[lone pond]

Did Best Buy already drop

[tender mulch]

No drop until at least next week

NOt guaranteed to be Thursday either

[lone pond]

Ah ok

Many people said it might stop on the 20tg

20tg*

Th

[clever pagoda]

There is always the gt 710 for 60$ lol it'll get you 60 fps in MC

[tender mulch]

It's also out of stock

[heady turtle]

Integrated gpu is also not a waste of money tho

[clever pagoda]

I agree with vintage, but if you really think you want a graphics card you could get a gt 710 for around 60$ but it's not a great value as it's about 60 fps in minecraft and 30 fps in everything else

they've had one at my local best buy for 6 months lol

[clever pagoda]

I ran integrated graphics for years with no issue

[heady turtle]

Gets beat by 11400 igpu

[tender mulch]

Also, UHD 750 in the new INtel CPU's is actually faster lol

[clever pagoda]

well yeah but their 150$ more

[heady turtle]

Yeah but was making a more realistic comparison as 11500 is the same price as 11600k atm

[heady turtle]

11500 is supposed to be like 30$ more than 11400

[clever pagoda]

but ye is much more poo than a cpu

def not even worth the 70$ price tag

maybe if it was 10 or 20$

[pine stump]

whats a good 6-8gb card under 400 bucks. im trying to gauge a good mid end pc build.

[heady turtle]

Only time it's worth is for a 5900x/5950x that needs graphics card just for display and use for cpu task imo

[heady turtle]

Hunt for a 3060 or 2060

[pine stump]

oh lord

[clever pagoda]

there is always the 1660 lol

no future proofing though

[heady turtle]

What?

[heady turtle]

Rip off

[heady turtle]

Yeah

[pine stump]

bruh

[heady turtle]

Hence the hunt

[pine stump]

well any way ill keep this thing running till the os and gpu corupts beyond repair. then ill just build a new pc and plug in my drives, get my stuff off and then format the now storage drives. so ill ask again in like 4-5 years

[clever pagoda]

what gpu do you have right now?

[sacred lotus]

Just sell your monitor for a graphics card its that easy

[pine stump]

rx570

[pine stump]

its a dell pos monitar

[sacred lotus]

lol

[heady turtle]

Just reinstall the os and try underclock the gpu or something

[pine stump]

i have a core i3 7100 as a cpu.

[pine stump]

dad is stressed at work and idk if i can do it. so ill just wait till it dies

🤷‍♂️

[heady turtle]

Reinstall or underclock?

And what that got to do with dad at work lol?

[pine stump]

yeah. im bad a software. thats how all this started

[pine stump]

he is our os and pc man

[heady turtle]

I or someone in here will be able to walk you through it if you want

[pine stump]

some old game screwed with my os. (no viruses tho)

[pine stump]

nonono. the os itself cant be restored. it will act the same. we have to do a new os disk... thats why i cant do it

plus im using the corrupted pc rn

[heady turtle]

A surprising amount of things will be fixed by a windows reinstall tbh, the drive might be okay

[pine stump]

plus im worried that the game might have screwed with the bios

[heady turtle]

Definitely not possible

[pine stump]

i thought there were some things that can do that?

[heady turtle]

Only specific bios programs made by the motherboard manufacturers

[pine stump]

oh ok

well, ill wait till i update the pcs cpu and mobo, so while its booting up ill do the ye ole mess up the boot to get to the reinstall program move.

[heady turtle]

Rephrase the 2nd part pls?

[pine stump]

power off while booting so i can get to the reinstall or reboot/safemode option

the keys to do that wont work

[clever pagoda]

would you say a evga ftw3 ultra rtx 3070ti for 682$ is worth it?

[woeful perch]

is there a way I can make my gpu fan spin more?

it is constantly above 63 C and the fan is only at 200 rpm

[pine stump]

gpu?

[woeful perch]

I have a evga 1060

yes

[pine stump]

cant help. i only know the redeon adrenaline 2020 ed

sry

[woeful perch]

ok

[heady turtle]

You don't need to boot to safe mode to reinstall windows?

[heady turtle]

Msi afterburner, but 63c isn't a temp you should even worry about

[woeful perch]

whenever I do anything it is about 80

C

idleing it is aboce 63 C

[wispy drift]

yes that's a steal in today's market, there's even some 3070 non ti models that cost more than that cough cough any asus card

[pine stump]

nope. i can just make it think that it did not start right

[wispy drift]

I bought my 3070ti xc3 ultra for 609 after tax yesterday after using my 20% code

[pine stump]

[pine stump]

nice

[heady turtle]

Ohhhhhh yeah you shouldn't use idle temps unless you specify lol

[heady turtle]

What why

[heady turtle]

Cough most of them cough

[heady turtle]

Download msi afterburner and open the fan curve

[magic wing]

what GPU?

[pine stump]

b/c the short keys dont work. its the only way...

[heady turtle]

1060 they said

[heady turtle]

I'm so confused by what you tryna say hombre

[pine stump]

cant use the hot keys to get to the menu for the reinstall. have to finesse the power button to get to the boot option screen'

[heady turtle]

Ehhhhh that's not how you reinstall but okay

[pine stump]

ok

[woeful perch]

ok

[cerulean rover]

lol

[heady turtle]

I see too many a month(more than 1)

And you signed up for on launch day lol

[cerulean rover]

userbenchmark is great as satire

[heady turtle]

Yes but disgusting when you see people recommending seriously

[clever pagoda]

I don't get why userbenchmark is so bad lol, I used it all the time

[cerulean rover]

oh god

[cerulean rover]

please just watch this

[clever pagoda]

they really do hate AMD lol

[cerulean rover]

even people who like Intel,

[clever pagoda]

Listen man, efps is the future

[tender mulch]

Disregarding ray tracing and DLSS, for pure FPS the 6700xt is better. Don't use UserBenchmark for reliable results.

[clever pagoda]

I like how his pronunciations of userbenchmark gets worse throughout the vid

[cerulean rover]

Yea

[winged pendant]

After my new GPU came in yesterday and 6months of waiting, my Miami Vice Themed PC is finally complete.

[heady turtle]

Grats

[vital pivot]

Needs move vodka martinis

Nice build

[wispy drift]

ordered yesterday and it should be arriving today

[heady turtle]

dammm nice

[vital pivot]

What time was your request

9:00:00001 am

[wispy drift]

9:03:27

[distant bramble]

Yeah, Ive got a 3080 ti on preorder with shopblt. I'm around 1000 in queue and there's no eta but I'll eventually get one if I'm patient.

Plus side, if I end up getting something through a shuffle or through regular means I can always cancel my pre-order.

[brave violet]

is shopBLT good website. I'm concern that is a scam

[tender mulch]

THey aren't a scam but it takes a good while to get your GPU

[brave violet]

I noticed the 3080ti prices are a bit higher. Asus or MSI they have EVGA are decent

@tender mulch You have purchase from them before?

[pastel rock]

What kinda of difference can you feel when using a 1660 super compared to a 2060

[heady turtle]

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-GTX-1650-SUPER-vs-GeForce-RTX-2060/4167vs4037

Bout 1.5x perf?

[cerulean rover]

@heady turtle they talking 1660s not 1650s

[heady turtle]

Omg my brain

[heady turtle]

Not very much in that case

[pastel rock]

okay

[cerulean rover]

Mhm, 1660s to 2060 is a small difference you might not really feel, but it's there

[heady turtle]

Mb like 7% ish diff

[cerulean rover]

In games it might be 3-5 fps kinda thing

[pastel rock]

like high-end games not necessarily render programs, not too much difference?

oh okay

[heady turtle]

Not really

Less than 10% anyway probs would not notice

[cerulean rover]

2060ko can have a huge difference over 1660s in some rendering situations tho

But other than that

Fairly smol difference

[pastel rock]

ight

[cerulean rover]

(2060 ko is kinda just a special case)

[distant bramble]

I haven't bought from them before but I did a lot of research before deciding to try a pre-order and they do look legit. Their prices are a little higher than msrp but it's not scalping higher.

They seem like a decent choice if you're having difficulties finding a card and you can cancel a pre-order at any time after you've ordered and before they've got enough stock to cover your order.

[brave violet]

@distant bramble Thank you for the answer. I did check their prices, usually are 60-90 over MSRP. Only 3080ti are a bit overpriced(IMO)

[hot folio]

Look at the cpu rankings lmfao its saying a 11500 is faster than a 5950x

[brave violet]

not possible. Maybe if OC

[hot folio]

gotta love UBM

I know its not possible

Its the biggest proof of how bull the UBM rankings are

[distant bramble]

No problem!

[hot folio]

If youre buying from shopBLT expect to wait a couple months

I bought a 2080 from them once and i was waiting a while until i got it

[heady turtle]

You can't oc 11400 and it's because of ubms stupid way of ranking

[cerulean rover]

you could go no PL

[heady turtle]

Still nowhere mear 5900x but ya

Iirc a core 2 duo still beats a 5900x on ubm

[cerulean rover]

lol

lemme check that

[heady turtle]

Ahh ofc

That's not as bad as a bias as i thought

Mb they tuned it down a bit

[cerulean rover]

ahem

@heady turtle 5900x is just 36% over a 2 core pentium

dunno man

[heady turtle]

Lol

Pentium still pretty good in 2021 then XD

[cerulean rover]

ig a 5 year old 4c8t xeon is just 2% worse than a 3990x

[heady turtle]

Cores shmores

[clever pagoda]

Is userbenchmark

[grizzled agate]

userbenchmark always showing off.. lmao where do they aggregate this data?!?!

[wispy drift]

just came in

[lone pond]

Nice. I just got my new graphics card in today as well

[brave violet]

nice

[stuck pebble]

Nice! I got my 3080Ti today as well.

[lone pond]

Yep I got the 3080 ti as well. Did you get the gigabyte one?

[woeful perch]

anyone have any idea when fsr will come out?

I want more fps on my 1060

and nvidia won't do it

[spare relic]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rustic pulsar]

Im sorry what, 3050 ti, just stick with the good ones

[spare relic]

too bad 900 series is shafted for fsr 😔

[rustic pulsar]

nvidia has to be trolling

[stuck pebble]

@lone pond Yeah, It was the Gigabyte.

[spare relic]

hm?

[lone pond]

That’s what I got I had to get it in a bundle with a monitor though

[stuck pebble]

I got the bundle with a mobo. I don't need the motherboard, but a co-worker of mine has a son that's building his own PC and is buying the board off me once that arrives.

[lone pond]

I need a gtx 750 ti or a gtx 900 know place cheap

[spare relic]

950 should be an okay price on ebay or aliexpress or something

[lone pond]

Well it has to be compatible with my pc right? I cant just go get any random one I thought

[spare relic]

900 series has been less affected by price increases

probably fine so long as you have a decent power supply and at least one PCIe x16

[lone pond]

I'm trying to get a graphics card to play some fivem

You know anywhere I can look up the 900? I have tried microcenter newegg and ebay

[rich wraith]

900 nvidia series?

[lone pond]

Yes

@rich wraith

[rich wraith]

I see lots of used ones on eBay for reasonable prices: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224486234801?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=224486234801&targetid=1263094003866&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9033357&poi=&campaignid=10455986818&mkgroupid=120902276583&rlsatarget=pla-1263094003866&abcId=2146002&merchantid=6296724&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5auGBhDEARIsAFyNm9EQC57LYlsi2Dl3sKIoH4K0mhvB4kZasrHzDQsWHsUiNinGO6ZSttQaAhp3EALw_wcB

[thorn root]

my graphics card be like nvidia nvs 3100 lmao

[clever pagoda]

3050ti for 700$

Fills the gap perfectly

[thorn root]

3080 ti in my conutry is 2000$

[hearty notch]

$2900 for us lol

[vital oriole]

3050Ti won't exist on desktop

Sadly

[hollow raptor]

What’s the difference between “ti” and “super”

[vital oriole]

Ti is above Super

Super is between normal card and Ti

[hollow raptor]

Ohh okay

[charred fractal]

Tuff 3060 msrp of 510 selling for 960+, seller has offered me 705 bite the bullet and do it or keep waiting for the market to balance?

[vital oriole]

510 isn't msrp of 3060 at all??

I'm sure Asus isn't that greedy lmao

It should be like not over 300

[charred fractal]

@vital oriole newegg 519, Amazon 519, micrometer 509

[vital oriole]

That's not msrp, it's inflated price

[charred fractal]

A regular 3060 says 350 so must be the tuff series being over priced too bad all sold out

[fallow vortex]

damn, went to a microcenter about a week and a half ago and they had a 3080ti for 1.9k ☠️

[raven stump]

anyone have a 6700 xt? if so, pros/cons? i am interested in the 6700 xt hellhound ...

[hot folio]

Overall a good card but runs fairly loud but temps are solid

If you can get it close to its MSRP it’s a solid card definitely wouldn’t pay 900 for it

And it’s large AF

[raven stump]

cannot find any card for under 1k right now

i get a 6700 xt prob for around 1k and 3070 for 1500

[heady turtle]

Usd? I wouldn't

[raven stump]

maybe i can get lucky in new egg shuffle lol

[heady turtle]

I'd try that

[raven stump]

what kind of build do you have?

[heady turtle]

I've a r5 3600 and 3070

[lone pond]

Most newegg shuffle graphics cards come in bundles with other stuff

[raven stump]

Yea, all i have right now is the Lian Li 011D mini snow edition

gotta fill that case up

was trying to do a completely white build.... that was the goal

getting all white gpu is a little tough

[lone pond]

Getting any of the new graphics cards is tuff I’ve been doing the shuffle since feb and I finally got a graphics card this past Saturday through it but it was bundled with a monitor

[raven stump]

which one did you get?

[lone pond]

I ended up getting the gigabyte 3080 ti with a gigabyte aorus monitor. I just picked it up from ups yesterday I just have to put it in my pc

[raven stump]

awesome very nice card

[lone pond]

Yep I was slowly upgrading my pc

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-gv-n308tgaming-oc-12gd/p/N82E16814932436?item=N82E16814932436

That is the one I got

[raven stump]

yea that is a nice card... and you have been trying since feb?

[lone pond]

Not for that one in particular. I just been trying to upgrade my graphics card to a 3070 or above and I refused to pay eBay prices

[raven stump]

don't blame you one bit...

i hate having to wait.. have had my case for over a month now.. was wanting to secure a gpu before i got anything else.. easier said than done for sure

[heady turtle]

If you're going intel you can just use the integrated graphics for a while

[vital oriole]

^

[brave violet]

Anyone knows if there be a newegg shuffle today?

[green harness]

We won't know until there's one on the shuffle page. So far no

[echo glade]

yo

[brave violet]

yes? @echo glade

[echo glade]

have any of yall that managed to get a 6700xt from amd yesterday shipped yet?

or any graphics from them

[brave violet]

I would say it takes a day or two. Unless you pay for the quickest shipping

[echo glade]

i order a new mobo, cpu, power supply and its all here i just need that gpu

the excitement is killing me

[brave violet]

If you order, and it went through you're be fine.

[normal hawk]

St Louis Park MN microcenter. Probably just 1. Might already be gone

[brave violet]

ya

[normal hawk]

They have 6700xt's. In stock, but they are fairly expensive compared to it

[dry pecan]

No shuffle today eh

[brave violet]

not sure. It's weird

[tender mulch]

Not today it looks like

[brave violet]

so sad =[

[echo glade]

how long before i have to upgrade and 5600x and a 6700x

3 years maybe?

[cerulean rover]

Depends on you

[magic wing]

you have those parts and u wanna know how long they are good for?

[echo glade]

yea

[cerulean rover]

Upgrading is just dependant on what you want to do

Maybe you'll need more compute power after a year, maybe you don't need any more for another decade, the only one who knows is you.

[late haven]

should i cop?

[tender mulch]

No

MSRP is like 299

[late haven]

alr

[magic wing]

not for a 2060

[hollow raptor]

Does anyone know any programs I can download to check my fan rpm

[magic wing]

mobo software

[heady turtle]

For your gpu? msi afterburner will let you do that and change it or if you just want rpm cuz hwinfo 64 or hw monitor

[hollow raptor]

Oh okay i think i got it thrn

[hollow raptor]

Sorry i meant to put this in general

[heady turtle]

Np, well hwinfo and hw monitor will also read your case and cpu rpm anyway

[molten hawk]

hey anyone does anyone know the next newegg shuffle

cause i need a gpu

[tender mulch]

maybe tomorrow

NO one knows for sure when they'll happen

[molten hawk]

cause i checked today and nothing

and yestrday i lost

[hollow raptor]

Worker told me this yesterday

[tender mulch]

Ya, consistent with bi-weekly best buy drops

[molten hawk]

bestbuy has a drop today

!?

[tender mulch]

Wouldn't count on it

They just did one last week

[hollow raptor]

Possibly

[lone pond]

If you sign up for shuffle notification emails they will email you before it starts

[tender mulch]

They dropped last week

It'll be another week at least

[hollow raptor]

Best buy doesn’t shuffle tho

[tender mulch]

2-4 weeks

[molten hawk]

another question

does anyone know why the gpu shortage is so bad

like it is getting ridicoulus

[tender mulch]

Production can't meet demand

[hollow raptor]

Bitmining, covid, microconductor shortage…

[tender mulch]

PC demand up 26%+ from last year

That's a lot of demand

nvidia shipped something like 9 million GPU's last quarter of 2020

[molten hawk]

last question how do i get notifited for bestbuy release for gpys

gpus

and stuff

and does anyone know why i have no luck on neweggs shuffle

[tender mulch]

There is no why, you either win or you don't

There's no way to guarantee a win, it's all random

[molten hawk]

i am trying to get a graphics card

[hollow raptor]

Make an account and then press save for later

[tender mulch]

I know

[hollow raptor]

It’ll send a push notification on the app if you do that

[lone pond]

It took me a few months to get an opportunity to buy graphics card through newegg shuffle

[molten hawk]

ok thanks

i am working on that atm

@lone pond would you say it is worth it though

[lone pond]

Yep I got mine in the mail yesterday

[molten hawk]

which card

[lone pond]

I got the 3080 ti. I had to get it in a bundle with a monitor though

[molten hawk]

but butter than paying for scalpers

and the monitor is gsync. right?

marine2014?

[lone pond]

It is an aorus monitor. It has gsync

Yeah I refused to buy one from scalpers

[molten hawk]

but. what cpu u got for the 3080ti

like what cpu and gpu combo

[lone pond]

Intel Core i7-8700K

[molten hawk]

ok that is a good combo

i have a ryzen 5 3600 w no graphics card

[lone pond]

I’m going to install my graphics card sometime this weekend

[molten hawk]

installing the gpu is not that hard

[lone pond]

Yep I had a 1070 in it before

[molten hawk]

it is just plugging it in to the top PCIE slot

so it will take u 20 min

at least

[lone pond]

Once I put it in I’m going to like my set up I have

[tender mulch]

If you do that with an older card in there be sure to DDU and install new drivers

[molten hawk]

@tender mulch i have a question

[tender mulch]

Just ask the question, don't ask to ask 😉

[molten hawk]

so if i have notifications on my phone setup for the best buy app will it notify me when the drop starts

[tender mulch]

IDK

[molten hawk]

do you have a 30 serise card

[tender mulch]

Yeah got it January 5th from Best Buy

IDK how their notifications work tho

[molten hawk]

how

did u get your gpu

[tender mulch]

Got lucky

[molten hawk]

but do you know when the gpu shortage is most likley going to come to an end

[tender mulch]

No, no one does

Could be end of this year, could be next month, could be 2023

[magic wing]

most likely a full year

[tender mulch]

Eh, it's literally a matter of believing what you want to at this point XD

[molten hawk]

so what are the best ways though to get a gpu and the highest chances of getting one

[tender mulch]

Stop using the everyone ping, there are 200K people here lol

[fossil talon]

lmao, my friend got a waiting list alert for EVGA 3080 and was stating to wait til 2031 XD

10 years

oh nvm my bad it was a 3070

[halcyon plover]

[fossil talon]

And I think I saw another one for 15 years, position 389

[green harness]

I think that thing would tell me I had a century to wait for 3751

[brave violet]

Next week on Tuesday or Thrusday. Last time it was a drop due to 3070ti release day

[molten hawk]

is bestbuy or newegg shuffle reliable

to win a gpu

?

[tender mulch]

Try them all if you want a GPU

[molten hawk]

ok

[green harness]

Yeah, the simple answer is neither is reliable but they're some of the better ways to get GPUs at MSRP

[deft ginkgo]

Anyone know when the next 3070 restock is? I've been trying since they've come out but unless you have some sort of bot its literally impossible

[tender mulch]

Newegg Shuffle or best buy drop possible next week

[brave violet]

Tuesday or Thrusday. Or the shuffle as Vintage said.

[deft ginkgo]

ok do you guys know what time?

[drowsy kiln]

Shuffles are 11am EST

[deft ginkgo]

ok and the best buy drop?

[drowsy kiln]

Varries, best to join a discord server that will mention you when they start. Some have started at 9am some have started later.

[deft ginkgo]

alright cool

thanks man

[dry pecan]

Best Buy sell online or is it all in-store

[tender mulch]

I used FixitFixitFixit Youtube channel

[drowsy kiln]

Best Buy is online drops

[tender mulch]

Right but I think you still have to pick up in store

SO if a store close to you runs out you have to pick another store

I had to drive 1.5 hours for mine

[dry pecan]

Well I'm screwed then lol my store never gets them.

[tender mulch]

Choose a different one? I had to drive a ways for mine

[dry pecan]

Will it allow me to choose a store after checking out?

[tender mulch]

Yes

Mine did as part of the checkout process

[dry pecan]

I'm just saying I don't want to end up losing out on the order because i can't pick a store fast enough.

[tender mulch]

It's happened before :/

[dry pecan]

I have two within 45 minutes of me...next closest is probably 2 hours.

And I've talked to the guys at my local store, they haven't seen a brand new gpu in a shipment in months.

[grim frost]

Alright so I sold a working RX 580 and the buyer returned it saying it's broken after receiving it I can get into windows and there is a lot of artifacting, any way I can fix this

[tender mulch]

Could try a repaste if it's getting hot, check temperatures

[stuck lynx]

do you have the card back and can you see the articacting?

[livid idol]

Double check the serial number and make sure they didn't pull a switcheroo.
I always make invisible marks on things I sell, they show up under blacklight.

[grim frost]

Yea it's in my pc right now

[grim frost]

Yea it is the same card

It's barely stable enough to get into the bios but thats about it

[stuck lynx]

hmm maybe reflash firmware? maybe they were mining and bumped up mem too much

[grim frost]

I really think that it has an incredibly high mem clock

[stuck lynx]

yeah thats what it sounds like

[grim frost]

How do I do that?

[stuck lynx]

well i only know how to do it once you are in windows

and ur system isnt getting past bios

[grim frost]

Ah that's my issue

I might be able to with a different card

Trying it now

[stuck lynx]

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=&manufacturer=&model=&interface=&memType=&memSize=&since=

use this to find ur card bios

https://appuals.com/how-to-flash-the-bios-on-an-amd-gpu/

use this guide to flash it with the downloaded bios

[grim frost]

K will do, but so far the other card I have is not working

[stuck lynx]

oof

[grim frost]

But I think I know what's causing it

I hope

[heady turtle]

Keep in mind reflashing bios voids warranty iirc

[stuck lynx]

yep

hopefully that is not important to you lmao

then again u did sell the card

[grim frost]

I'm just really annoyed that I sold a working card, they broke it and on the last day of the 30 day money back thing they abuse the system

[lone pond]

Hey everyone what's a good price for a gtx 770

[grim frost]

$50-$100 I think

I got into windows

[lone pond]

@grim frost thank you the ones I've seen listed were for 385 and up

[tender mulch]

Def not worth

[drowsy kiln]

USD?

[tender mulch]

It's an 8 year old 2 GB GPU

[lone pond]

Yes usd

[drowsy kiln]

You can get a 1660 easily for that price lol

Maybe even a 1070-Ti for $20-70 more

[lone pond]

My processor is a and athlonx4 860k so I think the 770 is the best my pc can run lol

[heady turtle]

You shopping for a 770?

Why

As long as your cpu supports pcie you'd be way better off buying a scalped 1660 or something

[lone pond]

Yea but all the ones I'm seeing are for 385 and up would a 1660 run

[drowsy kiln]

PSU would be a possible limitation, would be a bottleneck of some sort but even then a 1660 is a better option

[heady turtle]

As long as your cpu and mobo have a pcie slot yes

[heady turtle]

Doubt a 1660 takes more power than a 770 tbh

[grim frost]

Lowest I could find a 1070 to in my search was $425 but those immediately sold

[drowsy kiln]

Talking PCIE power cables, some don't

[lone pond]

Yea it has pcie×16

[heady turtle]

Then a 1660 super/ti should be easy to get for 350

[drowsy kiln]

r/hws, if your quick enough 1070-Tis are posted and gone in seconds/minutes at $450; if you really want a GPU it's possible to get one for $450 or under.

[mellow glen]

I just installed my 3070ti, I dont think it is detecting my second monitor

any suggestions?

[drowsy kiln]

You installed graphics drivers?

[tender mulch]

Did oyu install the drivers for it from nVidia?

Did you uninstall the old GPU drivers and install the new ones or just pop it in and go?

[mellow glen]

i just updated the drivers from nvidia

i did not uninstall old drivers though

[tender mulch]

When you install the news ones, there's an option at the bottom for Clean Install. I'd try that

[heady turtle]

If you came from amd definitely use DDU

[drowsy kiln]

Direct download link for DDU -https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

[tender mulch]

And check your cables as well. Also right click Desktop and Display settings to be sure it's set up properly

[mellow glen]

Ok going to try the clean install.

Cables seem to be ok

Clean install fixed it, thanks @tender mulch

[late haven]

is an i5 9400f good for a 1070

[tender mulch]

9400f should be avoided, no hyperthreading

If you're buying new 10400f

[grim frost]

Wait I checked again and the card is not the one I sent @livid idol

[late haven]

how bout a 9700f

[tender mulch]

If buying new, 9000 series in general should be avoided.

Unless you're stuck with that board or something

[late haven]

im stuck with the board

any other lga 1151 processors?

[tender mulch]

Oh, in that case, anything affordable then

[late haven]

could you give me a list of lga 1200 chipsets?

[heady turtle]

The good ones include z490/b560/z590

But z490 would need a bios update to use an 11th gen processor

[grim frost]

I supposedly got it flashed but we will see

[stone wraith]

Smhhhhhh

This always happens

[mellow glen]

Can anyone help me figure out why I am getting screen flickering? I notice it when I am trying to play a game

this is right after installing 3070ti, correct drivers are updated

is this normal?

this is while a game is in background

[tender mulch]

If you're gaming yes

[mellow glen]

Okay, what would cause a screen to flicker if you know ?

Whenever the game is open it’s really bad

[tender mulch]

Drivers, power, possible monitor or cable issue.

Might want to do a DDU and start over again even though you did a clean install

[mellow glen]

Will@do

I should do DDU from safe mode right ?

[drowsy kiln]

You can only run a DDU in safe mode so yea

[heady turtle]

What psu?

If not enough wattage

Could be trying to draw more

[karmic crag]

I would fall to my knees

[mellow glen]

EVGA p1000

Plenty of wattage I think

[heady turtle]

Yeah 1000w is plenty

[mellow glen]

Hopefully DDU + reinstall will do the job lol

Testing now guess we’ll see

Ok still having same issue lol fun

Here’s what it looks like@on my end

[heady turtle]

Yoi do ddu in safe mode yeah?

That was fast

[mellow glen]

Yes

[halcyon plover]

Maybe try a 2nd cable

[mellow glen]

I am using 2 VGA cables 🥲

[heady turtle]

Vga

?

[halcyon plover]

Pcie

[mellow glen]

They’re the same ones that were on my previous graphics card

[halcyon plover]

I meant a different dp or hdmi cable

[mellow glen]

O

My bad, uhhh same thing though I was using the same cable

I guess I can try getting a different dp cable, but it was the same one I used

[gray thistle]

maybe try a different dp port on the card

[mellow glen]

kk will get one from the store. Thanks for hlep

[heady turtle]

Try a different port first

Could be a janky dp port

[mellow glen]

… that was it

That’s annoying

Switched ports on card and it’s all good lol

Basically issue with the card itself ?

[heady turtle]

sounds like it, usually id say return but atm idek if youd get the thing back

[mellow glen]

Should I just contact EVGA and see what they say lmao

[heady turtle]

worth a shot

mb theyll give you a discount or something 🤷

[raven thunder]

anyone know when was the last 3060ti FE drop in the US?

[lone pond]

What's fe

[raven thunder]

founders lol

[lone pond]

founders edition

o

No i do not sry

[raven thunder]

i live in canada but have some family members visiting after the boarders open, and if you live in canada, then you prob know the last fe drop was over a month and a half ago

[lone pond]

I was looking for a bit then gave up because i don't even have enough to buy a system to use it for

[drowsy kiln]

US is every other week at Best Buy

[heady turtle]

3060 tis are rare af and so are FE's

[drowsy kiln]

Think it was last friday so should happen a week from today

[heady turtle]

yeah but i havent seen people talking about 3060 ti FE's in at least like 6 weeks

[raven thunder]

heard someone say it was yesterday which made sense to me since they drop every other week on Thursday right? but not sure if thats legit though

[raven thunder]

they did?

[raven thunder]

tru but it's getting better

amd gpus are pretty easy to get now if you have everything set up

[drowsy kiln]

I'm pretty sure it was last friday, either way will be some point next week

[heady turtle]

Not really 3060 tis are significantly less than 3060/3070

[vital pivot]

Let’s admit that the 3060ti is a freaking unicorn.

[heady turtle]

thats what ive been saying yeah

[raven thunder]

if it was yesterday then it would be the week after the next but yea ig so

[raven thunder]

how come?

im willing to get a 3070 as well but why?

[heady turtle]

Because it's cheaper, mines at the same rate as 3070s and possibly they aren't getting as many lower binned(3060 ti) dies

also the FE's are just rare straight up lol

[raven thunder]

yea thats tru, i dont want to overclock so dont really need a third party one

[heady turtle]

thats not the point of a 3rd part one

....

[karmic crag]

3060 tis and 3080s are more desirable because of how well they fit their respective price niches.

if you want great power at a relatively low cost (400-500 USD range) the 60ti is your go-to. 3080 is probably just before the point of diminishing returns in terms of cost

[raven thunder]

they have better coolers no?

and i dig the clean aesthetic of the fe versions

[heady turtle]

yes but no, yes but thats not just for overclocking for better temps too, no because there are ones with worse coolers although not super common

and you can overclock fine just fine on a FE

[raven thunder]

oh ok

[raven thunder]

and some of them have better power limits etc so they are more expensive right?

[heady turtle]

Yeah sometimes but cards like the gigabyte eagle and evga xc3 black are msrp cards it really depends on the model

But if you're paying more(in a normal market) you're usually paying for a better cooling solution(or they being stingy)

Mainly the 1st tho

And higher power limits tends to come with higher power cards but it doesn't let you oc that much more

[raven thunder]

kay, apparently there are more than 50 variations of the 3060ti which is really quite surprising tbh

[heady turtle]

Not really

[heady turtle]

About half of those cards are OC cards which means it has a slight factory over clock

[raven thunder]

oh yea ok

but they should all be around the same right

[tender mulch]

Yeah the performance delta between all of them is neglible

[raven thunder]

ok

[molten hawk]

BRO

I am so confused

new egg is so fishy

with their rafle

[tender mulch]

Not really, you either win or you don't

If you don't get a winners email by 5 PM PST, safe to say you lost

[raven thunder]

yup

[tender mulch]

Losers emails are always late

Reason is, if someone wins but doesn't claim a product, it goes to the next person in line

Some people have received winning emails at 2 AM

Rare but it happens

[molten hawk]

no they did not sent the email about todays raffle

and like i subscribe to their email

thing

[tender mulch]

Yeah, it'll come later tonight

Non-winning emails always late

[molten hawk]

no like they did not sent the email about it starting'

on time

[tender mulch]

OH

Cuz there wasn't a shuffle today

Or was there?

Cuz I checked until about 9-10 AM PST and it wasn't active nor ready

[molten hawk]

look here

how do i add a SS to discord

server

[tender mulch]

Don't need an SS lol, did they have one today or no? I don't follow it exactly so I don't know.

[molten hawk]

idk bc i did not get an email when i checked all of a sudden they did

it is so weird

[tender mulch]

Hmmm, IDK about the inner workings. I know glitches happen from time to time with everything, even the shuffle

[molten hawk]

lowkey i am kinda getting impaitent on waiting

but i got to

i wish it was a walk in and get what u need

[raven thunder]

i mean, you can't expect to win the shuffle that quick

[tender mulch]

I hunted for 2 months

[molten hawk]

ik

[tender mulch]

It sucks

[molten hawk]

wait y did?

[tender mulch]

Yes

[raven thunder]

i have been entering for almost a month and still haven't won

[molten hawk]

i thought u used a bought

[tender mulch]

I got it from Best Buy

Took 2 months of stalking to get one

[molten hawk]

but did u use a bot

[tender mulch]

No

i don't like bots

Did it myself

[raven thunder]

he is faster than bots

[tender mulch]

I used a stock checking Youtube channel

FixitFixitFixit

[molten hawk]

ok but anytips for the bestbuy

though

@tender mulch

[tender mulch]

Be quick

It's all you can do

[molten hawk]

and can y send me the link

for the yt channel

[tender mulch]

IDK if it's even still running

XD

[molten hawk]

but can y just send it

[raven thunder]

a lot online you can just find it yourself

[molten hawk]

just in case

[raven thunder]

you can just search it up

[karmic crag]

i've been on the grind for almost 7, your time will come

[raven thunder]

lol yup

[woeful stump]

Is 1030 any good? Just till I get my hands on a rtx 3000 something

Can at least play minecraft

[molten hawk]

it should do the job but just got to put everything low or the lowest @woeful stump

but what cpu do u have @woeful stump

[raven thunder]

at that point you are better off just sticking with your igpu

[molten hawk]

but amd cpus dont have onboard gpus

[drowsy kiln]

If they end in a "G" they do

[molten hawk]

but they are hard to get

[drowsy kiln]

No they aren't, they are consumer grade lol

[mighty island]

has anyone run into an issue with random spikes coming out of models in multiple games? trying to figure out if this is a driver issue (running latest 466.77) or failing 3070. system is rock solid stable but i removed overclock regardless for this video.

[raven thunder]

lmao no, you can get them the same way as if you were to get a intel cpu

[molten hawk]

No

Bro they are hella hard

Try looking for a rtx 3060 for msrp @raven thunder

[solemn panther]

mmmmm

[raven thunder]

when did i say a 3060 at msrp was easy...

just saying you can find g series amd apus at the same places as you can find intel ones

[mighty island]

hmm

well if my 3070 is dying.. at least it's under warranty

[lone pond]

should let the manufacturer know

not that they can do much

but if you still have it under warranty better to try customer service now

[vital pivot]

Thats a game issue. Not the card

[mighty island]

happening in 3 out of the 4 games i've tried

not happening in league
happening in genshin impact, it takes two, and the outer worlds

[livid idol]

DDU is your friend

[mighty island]

already done ddu

and reinstalled latest

[livid idol]

Maybe DDU and install the previous version then

[crimson trout]

Hello, I found a Gtx 970 for about 250 dollars. Is this a decent deal?

[mighty island]

no

[crimson trout]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gtx-970-strix-gtx970-dc2oc-4gd5/p/N82E16814121899?Item=9SIAGKCCAH5197&Description=gtx 970&cm_re=gtx_970-_-14-121-899-_-Product&quicklink=true

[mighty island]

$45 shipping

lol

used 970 is worth around $160-180 now

[crimson trout]

Oh I didn't even see that

Damn

[mighty island]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/o1c5ee/usany_h_gtx_1080_fe_rx_580_4gb_hp_oem_gtx_970/ heres a guy selling same model for $170 local $190 shipped

[vital pivot]

The texture issues can easily be driver issues.

[mighty island]

but you can certainly find a better deal if you are willing to wait

[vital pivot]

Have you tried DDU and clean install of your drivers.

[mighty island]

already said i did

[crimson trout]

I see, I might wait a little bit and see if prices dip down for some higher tier gpu's

[vital pivot]

Well I have see the same issues on games before and it was either bad textures or drivers.

Usually cleaning the texture cache of the game fixed it.

[tender mulch]

Do those games all run on the same game engine?

[mighty island]

not a chance

[tender mulch]

Crap

You on 466.47?

or the new 77?

[mighty island]

466.77

havent tried older driver yet ig

[tender mulch]

OH, you tried rolling back to 47?
