graphics-cards

[astral mist]

What model?

[sonic vigil]

yeah, 200$ over isn't as bad as me looking to pay... like 1k$ over

[heady turtle]

Even these are barely worth it if your desperate bro

And they're overpriced

Bro you paid 2x msrp for the card

[astral mist]

I could walk into my local MemX and pay $730 US for a 6700xt

[heady turtle]

^

[slim vessel]

XFX SPEEDSTER MERC319 AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT BLACK 12GB GDDR6

[heady turtle]

But the thing is they paid 500 over lol they paid 2x msrp

[sonic vigil]

lol fair

[heady turtle]

Once again their website is lying so hard

[sonic vigil]

anyone up on what a 3080 TI :"should" be costing, if there was no shortage?

[astral mist]

^$913 USD

[slim vessel]

it's less than that

[astral mist]

That price is Canadian which is $913 US

[slim vessel]

so then ~$90

[astral mist]

This is after the price hike in December

MSRP is $750 CAD

[heady turtle]

I've actually seen them in shuffle be go for 1200 but i wouldn't pay more than 1600

I give up this guy is being stubborn and not listening lol

[sonic vigil]

I'd love not to pay more than 1600$ 😄

I'm going to do Shuffles til July 10

hope to get lucky

[slim vessel]

the RXs stopped getting into the shuffles

[heady turtle]

Why stop july 10th

[sonic vigil]

on July 8-10 a draw I'm in for one of 200 3080TI for 1450 will be done

if I don't get that, or a shuffle, I'm just going to ge tthe best deal I can get now

[heady turtle]

Clearly wasn't talking to you lol but 3070s are in the shuffle for 650-800 easy and they better lol

[sonic vigil]

well now being then

I'm just done waiting

[slim vessel]

not in stock, no known restock

[heady turtle]

Duh

[sonic vigil]

For software reasons I just couldn't justify buying an AMD card -- I'm glad they're getting so much better, but it still makes no sense to me with their current software

[heady turtle]

That's fair yeah cus you're a dev

[sonic vigil]

haha I wasn't even considering for development, just for gaming.

I honestly have not looked into how the two stack up in game dev land

[heady turtle]

In gaming they even in dev work Nvidia wins

[sonic vigil]

Well, that is good to know 😄

[halcyon plover]

Yeah , I mean the performance drop on 3000 series is still big and most people dont use it so with amd cards its not to be considered as a feature

[heady turtle]

Ye

[sonic vigil]

most people don't use RT?

[heady turtle]

Ye

[halcyon plover]

I dont for most games

[sonic vigil]

I'll use it absolutely anywhere that it's implemented okay

I'm not a frame junky, I'm all about them visuals

[heady turtle]

Rt a gimmick till it gets almost equal to raster

And not everyone plays triple A games which have rt

[astral mist]

Still, you're claiming MSRP is over $1,000 when it's not.

[heady turtle]

I play esports so all the frames

[sonic vigil]

indeed, I believe there's what, less than 200 AAA mainstream games with some level of RT

[heady turtle]

Also low and Ultra usually look almost the same to me

[sonic vigil]

yeah, for esports don't use RT 😄

that's all about the frames

[astral mist]

Even for video editing Nvidia is better because CUDA rendering

I was gonna build a 100% AMD machine, but the 6900XT didn't come air cooled and I wanted a machine full of ROG Strix parts. Then I got into video editing and Nvidia just ended up as the default option

The liquid cooled ROG 6900XT also costs more than the ROG 3090

[heady turtle]

All amd no point on purpose as SAM doesn't even fo much

[sonic vigil]

Oh really? I'm only aware of SAM from Linus, but haven't seen anything specific about it's actual value

[astral mist]

I'm just an AMD fan is all. Providing competition on two fronts is kinda impressive

[sonic vigil]

haha well if they have their way, that's something both intel and nvidia are planning to do, but not holding my breath that if they do it they'll do it well

[heady turtle]

Sam works in some games a bit and harms others so it's best to leave off and just get the best bang for buck parts for your budget you can get instead

[sonic vigil]

gotcha

[heady turtle]

Ohh it is, I'm also an amd fan but not worth paying more or sacrifice perf

[astral mist]

I feel like pricing would make more sense if the markets normalized

[sonic vigil]

So... 2024?

[heady turtle]

6800 and up yeah but 6700xt price 💩 if msrp was real

[sonic vigil]

haha 2024... I'm being overly optimistic again, aren't I?

This feels like when I was saying "So, May?"

[halcyon plover]

A year or 2 maybe

[heady turtle]

2023 most likely q

[astral mist]

Prices are dropping rn so maybe the scalpers will move on after a while

[sonic vigil]

so just in time to get a 4080TI? 😄

[astral mist]

It's weird how AMD biggest advantage on the CPU front is their biggest disadvantage on the GPU front

[sonic vigil]

Are they actually dropping? A couple months ago I spent all my video card money, so I stopped paying attention

What's that advantage/disadvantage?

[astral mist]

Productivity

[heady turtle]

Yeah lol

Yeah lol blender loves Nvidia

[astral mist]

AMD has all the advantage in professional level software on the CPU front, but Nvidia has CUDA, NvEnc and that other thing I know nothing about

[heady turtle]

Yee

[sonic vigil]

so you would recommend an amd cpu with a nvidia card?

[astral mist]

Yep

5900X is best price/performance

[sonic vigil]

oh did you hear the bull...stuff that intel might be trying to lock their discreet video cards to intel CPUs?

[heady turtle]

Yes 5900x/5950x

[astral mist]

That's only shooting themselves in the foot

[sonic vigil]

I agree

[heady turtle]

Yes it do be bull

[sonic vigil]

wiat... 5900x is a processor?

[astral mist]

5950X is better at productivity and slightly worse at gaming than the 5900X

[astral mist]

AMD has room temperature iq when it comes to naming things

[sonic vigil]

lol I wish AMD would use very different labelling fro CPU and GPU -- as someone who hasn't bought an AMD product since 2014, it's all very confusingly similar

[heady turtle]

Ryzen 9 5900x, amds newest 12 core, 5950x 16 core

[sonic vigil]

ah, gotcha

[astral mist]

Lemme pair Ryzen 7 5800X with an RX 5700XT

[sonic vigil]

I bought my CPU before that came out, and because I had no GFX I was forced intel whether I wanted to or not

[astral mist]

Current gen CPU, last gen GPU

[heady turtle]

Nahh it makes sense if you keep gpu and cpu separate lol

[astral mist]

IM SORRY BUT THE RADEON HD WAS THE PINNACLE OF AMD NAMING CONVENTIONS

it was horrible from there on out

[sonic vigil]

lol I ended up getting the 10850K

[astral mist]

The whole R series of cards got really annoying

[sonic vigil]

It was my first time I was totally interested in going AMD

[astral mist]

I had two R7 260Xs (I think?) After upgrading from the HD 6870

[sonic vigil]

but I needed on die video due to card shortage and money shortage

[clever pagoda]

I mean nobody gonna buy their discreet gpu that matches an igpu

you can just get an amd APU for a better value

[heady turtle]

Stilk a good cpu just ryzen 9 5000s are better

[sonic vigil]

right, but don't they have no igpu?"

[astral mist]

I was so happy that AMD started kicking the [REDACTED] out of intel

[hot folio]

Can’t wait for the day where i can say I’m running a 6800xt/6800xt

[heady turtle]

You can't really tho they gonna have some decent dgpus just the dg1 is 1030 like-just a basic gpu

[astral mist]

No, only the recently released APUs

[heady turtle]

Nope unfortunately

[sonic vigil]

right, so because I couldn't get a card, I HAD to go intel

[astral mist]

There are plenty of GT 1030s kicking around 🤣 🤣

[hot folio]

You most likely could’ve gotten like a used gt710 for dirt cheap

[heady turtle]

Lol well 6800xt CPU might not be a thing but 6800x probs lol

[astral mist]

Oooo even better

[clever pagoda]

Yeah but the 5600G is basically a 1030 and a cpu for like 250$

[heady turtle]

Yeye i understand still a good cpu tho you got

[hot folio]

It could be tho, I’m pretty sure they made a 3800xt

Unless they decide to change up their naming

[heady turtle]

They did for 3000 series but not for 1st or 2nd gen

[hot folio]

True true

[sonic vigil]

I didn't want to spend even 50$ (I was super tight budget then) on a card that I'd not want in 3 months. I believed I was getting a card on APR02

I really believed it 😄

so I bought my cpu, ram, and case thinking that in april I'd kick in a 3080 because they'd be available then, and I'd be good to go

[astral mist]

I was told Feb/March for my 3080 when I ordered early December

[sonic vigil]

Apr02 was the date I had projected to have the money (and I had it)

[hot folio]

I’m so looking forward to the day GPUs are available again

[clever pagoda]

I granted you maybe sacrifice 10fps on avg but I mean i'd still say it's better than paying for a gt 1030

[astral mist]

Do you really think Nvidia will continue with the naming convention they have rn? Or will they do another weird jump?

[sonic vigil]

lol what are fps? that thing I get 5 or less of in blender?

I think Nvidia will keep up with it til the 9k

they'll skip the 8k

[astral mist]

What if the next series is the 8000 series because 8k gaming

Kek

[sonic vigil]

nah they seem to hate using 800/8000

[astral mist]

Was there no 800 series?

[sonic vigil]

I'm assuming because the 8k series was so big before maybe?

nope

[heady turtle]

I feel they go 9000 then change to something else cuz 10080 is stupid to say lol

[heady turtle]

Gtx 700 to 900

[sonic vigil]

lol intel was like "who cares if 10k is stupid? Keep going!"

[astral mist]

I feel like going from 1000 to 2000 but also having 1600 was stupid

But the 1000 to 2000 jump makes sense because brand new tech

[sonic vigil]

lol the 1600 was just confusing

[astral mist]

1600 was 20 series with no RT cores, yeah?

[heady turtle]

Ehh but they had 9400, 10400, that's fine but for example 3070, 9070, 10070 that's wack

[heady turtle]

Basically

[astral mist]

I feel like 4060/70/80/90 is wack too tho

[heady turtle]

Nah think fine

[sonic vigil]

aha fair enough, 00 as a spacer is weird

[astral mist]

Imagine if instead of 2000 they went with 100

The RTX 180Ti

[sonic vigil]

I mean they did that originally did they not?

9800 > 100

then 100 > 700, 900, 1000

then 2000 and 3000

I honestly had expected the 2080 to be the 1180

[astral mist]

But there was an 8800 gt somewhere along that line

[sonic vigil]

8800 was before 9800

[astral mist]

I only remember because I read about it being the only thing that could really handle crysis (barely)

[sonic vigil]

I feel like 8800 was "the one that blew up" long long ago

I had two 8800

lol

those were the day

[astral mist]

Ah yes

[sonic vigil]

single loud as anything blower fan

[astral mist]

SLI

CrossfireX

Ancient technology

[sonic vigil]

SLI really languished for a long time

it saw no improvements forever

[astral mist]

I remember wanting CrossfireX/SLI cards and by the time I had two cards it was basically obsolete

[sonic vigil]

the faster the cards got, the slower that bridge was

[hot folio]

I remember buying an RX480 in my very first build thinking if I ever need extra performance I’ll just add another one

[astral mist]

I still remember going from a Radeon HD 6870 to an R7 260X and being amazed at 2GB of VRAM

[hot folio]

By the time I needed extra performance SLI was gone

[astral mist]

"WOW THIS IS DOUBLE THE VRAM AND PERFORMANCE FOR ⅓ THE PRICE I GOT MY 6870"

[sonic vigil]

haha my first build, was... I don't even remember... pre 8800

[astral mist]

Then my upgrade from twin 260Xs to a 1070 made me poop myself

[hot folio]

Lmfao

[sonic vigil]

I had a P2, and a P3, both off the shelf, then a custom built AMD, then a Q6600 with the 8800s

[astral mist]

And now I'm grumbling over having a 3060ti instead of a 3080 or 3090

[sonic vigil]

I worked in a tech center when I got the Q6600 and people were calling me an idiot for going quad core

[hot folio]

Jokes on them lol

[sonic vigil]

"You don't need 4 cores, you'll never use them all"

[astral mist]

I kinda went "That's it, I'm done with having mid range PCs"

[astral mist]

YOU DON'T NEED 8, THAT'S SELFISH

[hot folio]

But to be fair back then many programs didn’t take advantage of 4 cores

[astral mist]

-Everyone when I bought a bulldozer

[sonic vigil]

oh indeed, but I run lots of programs at once

always have

[astral mist]

And now 4 core is on the low end 🤣🤣

[sonic vigil]

haha indeed, that seems quaint now

[hot folio]

I’m finally glad almost all of my programs I use now for work finally started using more than one core/thread

[astral mist]

10 years from now: ew, you only have 8 cores?

[sonic vigil]

lol

10 years from now I'll probably be running like 200 cores 😄

[hot folio]

I still remember my Cyrix 6x86

[astral mist]

"Ew you have cores? I use a spongiform quantum matrix CPU"

[sonic vigil]

LOL

I would like to see CPUs as we see them now get replaced

[astral mist]

Probably some day in the next 15 there'll be a major architectural change

[hot folio]

Robobrains

[astral mist]

My CPU is made of meat

[hot folio]

Best CPU

[sonic vigil]

it is actually possible we could move to bio computing

[lone pond]

Hehe

[sonic vigil]

makes me think of Voyager's "Gel packs" instead of isolinear chips 😄

ohhhhh.... when I get my new GPU I'll finally experience the failure that is Cyberpunk! 😄

[clever pagoda]

why wouldn't you need 8 cores tho

how else would you open 8 tabs in chrome

[lone pond]

😎

[sonic vigil]

I'm sure it should be better now than it was, but I hear it's still a buggy mess

[astral mist]

I can't wait to have to worry about getting my PC quality food

[sonic vigil]

lol

[astral mist]

"Sorry, I need a new computer, mine has a prion disease. Probably the poor quality nutrient paste"

[sonic vigil]

I just honestly look forward to full dive

though I am excited to (after I move) get my first VR setup

I haven't tried VR since the occulus first developer version

and THAT made me so very sick

Ideally I want a full dive rig that can work out my body while I play 😄

I love thinking about augmentations for technology that doesn't even exist 😄

[dreamy dragon]

dweam#9641 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[astral mist]

Only high end card in stock because no one asked for a liquid cooled GPU.

looking at you ASUS

GPU costs more than my car

[sonic vigil]

I'd do AIO cooled 3090

actually the one is really pretty

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N3090AORUSX-W-24GD#kf That one

[tall tendon]

that looks way better than the 3090 ROG strix i am gonna return

[sonic vigil]

Return where? What did you pay for it?

[tall tendon]

MC

[sonic vigil]

Why returning it?

[spiral jewel]

So I got an XFX Speedster 6700 XT yesterday during the Best Buy drop, paid $999. Is it worth keeping at all or should I cancel my order. Feel like I’m getting gouged

[lone pond]

F

[sonic vigil]

lol anyone come across this "FPSMaxi" scam site claiming to be selling MSI GEFORCE RTX 3080 SUPRIM X's for 799$?

Do people fall for that?

It's literally the first thing google pushes me to when I search 3080

[heady turtle]

sometimes yeah

[sonic vigil]

that's... sad. I suppose though you only need one sucker to have made whatever they paid for setting up worth it

[heady turtle]

yep, sure if people see all these 1.5k 3080s and then a 800$ one like yano

[sonic vigil]

I work in data, so seeing something like that really throws up alarm bells

[heady turtle]

Ohh yeah but i guess if you dk why the prices are so high/not thinking 💰🤑

[late haven]

Titan RTX or 3070 ti

[leaden topaz]

3070ti

[cerulean rover]

Depends on what you're doing, gaming, 3070ti, workstation tasks, that 24gb of vram on the Titan RTX might help

[chrome sigil]

Is the 1650 super good for games like COD:Warzone, Rust, Apex Legends, Overwatch etc?

[leaden topaz]

For low 1080p it's decent

[cerulean rover]

Well, at 1080p, if you're expecting 60fps, it'll be okay at lower settings

Might not have fun with rust or warzone tho

[heady turtle]

Will easily run overwatch at med, and overwatch is fairly cpu bound too, i ran my r9 380 4gb at low 180fps

In overwatch

[cerulean rover]

Overwatch is overwatch, but rust and warzone are probably the hardest to run, apex is a bit hard.

[heady turtle]

Yeah true

I ran warzone before on that too but that was before the state of the game today I'm sure they made it harder to run

With all those updates

[grim frost]

Both for me but 3090 is quite expensive

[heady turtle]

then titan

comp on the gaming perf a bit

[sonic vigil]

I feel you... I ideally don't want to spend over 2k so 3090s seem to be floating out of my hands

[keen nacelle]

Anyone looking for a 3070? This guy's selling a gigabyte eagle for 930$ +shipping costs https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/o7bs99/usami_h_gigabyte_rtx_3070_eagle_8g_nonlhr_w/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[fair tapir]

Can someone explain to me why a evga 3070 is like 1200 dollars

[keen nacelle]

scalping

[fair tapir]

Well sure but like

Werent they like 700 on fb marketplace a couple months ago

Like why did they go even higher

[livid idol]

Shortage is still REALLY bad

[keen nacelle]

idt they ever wer

were*

[fair tapir]

Ah

Well tht sucks

[keen nacelle]

its getting better

[fair tapir]

I wanted to drop some money on t

But not 1200 lol

Id rather buy more tools :)

[keen nacelle]

nick if you have reddit you could pretty easily find a 3070 for 100

1000* sorry

[livid idol]

If you can afford to wait you should do so, nvidia 4000 and amd 7000 should be out within a year or so

[keen nacelle]

r/hardwareswap

[fair tapir]

Still a tad expensive for me

Dont need it THAT badly

[cosmic bluff]

So is a EVGA 1660 ti sx ultra for 250 a good price brand new

A friend wants to sell it and im thinking of buying it for a friend

[keen nacelle]

in this market yeah

i think

[cosmic bluff]

Hmm okay

Cause when i bought my 1660 i got it in 2019 when it came out and got a major deal because i had elite bb membership and got it for like less than 200

[clever pagoda]

Are dell laptops trash?

It's got a rtx 2060 for 900$

[split parrot]

No they are fine

I have a Dell 2 in 1 and I love it

Love my msi too

[vagrant sleet]

how come when i increase my gpu fan speed it gets hotter

help

[tawdry kindle]

Does your PC case have good air flow all the way through?

@vagrant sleet

[vagrant sleet]

it does

[tawdry kindle]

Because if it doesn't you could just be circulating hot air

Hmmmm

[sonic vigil]

Could be bad thermal contact

I had a video card that the cooler was not mounted correctly

[tawdry kindle]

Ope

[sonic vigil]

in that case it will hardly matter how fast the fan goes

[vagrant sleet]

maybe

[sonic vigil]

it's more common in CPU than GPU because we mount our own CPU, but it happens\

How old is the card, and has it been through any physical trauma that you're aware of (including moving systems etc)

also new or used?

Ah, okay, so it's certainly possible then, guessing it was bought used?

Well, if it's not new/under warranty, and the cooler is clean, I'd personally try re-pasting-padding the cooler

[vagrant sleet]

and green dots are appearing on the screen and going away

[sonic vigil]

make sure all the chipsets have pads and the main chip has... I'm assuming thermal paste? It's been so many years now since I've done it

[vagrant sleet]

ok

[sonic vigil]

that sounds like a hot chipset to me

ofcourse if you have any kind of warranty, go that route first

[vagrant sleet]

i do not

[sonic vigil]

okay -- lots of youtube videos out there on replacing the cooler, essentially follow them

[vagrant sleet]

wait i just figured out what it was

[sonic vigil]

just replacing with the same cooler

oh?

[vagrant sleet]

mining

[sonic vigil]

a lot of used GPUs were used for mining these days, they should still function

though mining is a lot of continuous strain

[vagrant sleet]

yeah

[sonic vigil]

I wish (and I don't know for a fact they don't) that video cards had something like HDDs SMART features

I'd want to see power on time, and load time for instance

fun fact though, silicone bedroom lube makes surprisingly good fan oil. Not one, but both of my fans on my 1080 started getting annoyingly loud, somehow they were running dry, and I had no fan oil -- one has been running silent now for like 3 years, and the other for 2

haha not something I will go much into detail though, but far better than water based for most things, especially for fans -- don't use water based for electronics!

[vagrant sleet]

lol

[sonic vigil]

based on?

I think the last time we had a major launch in les than two years was the 780 > 980 series transition

They've been almost rock solid on a 2 year track since then, so I'd expect the release in fall 2022

Unless you're aware of something I'm not

"...in a slide showing Nvidia’s revamped data center chip stack, the next-gen “Ampere Next” graphics architecture was listed as coming in 2022, with “Ampere Next Next” scheduled for 2024. "

So it appears they're committed to the 2 year pattern for the foreseeable future

[snow crystal]

damn... haven't success for months now with Newegg Shuffle

[sonic vigil]

I mean odds aren't good

[snow crystal]

I am gonna quit

[sonic vigil]

I don't blame you

but that's raffles for you

I'm guessing your odds are gnereally less than .01%

I've not seen any data, but I can't imagine less than 1000 people entering for a product for a day

I wish they shared the data -- how many entries there were, what the volume available were

I'm guessing volume numbers are low though... less than 10

but lets say 10 -- if 1000 people enter and there are 10, that's still not a 1% chance

assuming no duplicated winning allowed, thats a 1:1000, then a 1:999, then a 1:998 each chance is essentially still a 1:1000 chance

same reason that each time you flip a coin it's always a 50% chance (ruling out any anomalies in the coin or any rigging by the tosser)

so even if you had 14 heads in a row, it's a 50% chance the next flip is heads, because it always is

heck, I just did a live raffle where the odds were like 1:360, and my wife and mother-in-law were both in it as well, and the odds are still super stacked against us

and there were 5 draws

I think people use lottery-logic to think they're due anytime, but even if let's say it's an even .01% chance each time (it's probably a LOT lower) -- that's a .01% each draw, being in a million draws doesn't ever increase your odds of winning any one draw

The best thing is just to enter, because hey, why not? but ASSUME you're going to lose

entering is free afterall

[cerulean rover]

there's 2 missing pieces of data, how many GPUs, and how many people signing up, therefore, we can't make any real assertions on probability,

[sonic vigil]

I already said that

I'm just addressing the fact that entering a lot of raffles doesn't make you "due"

[cerulean rover]

I'm just making clear the numbers aren't the ballpark we're talking about

[sonic vigil]

oh ofcourse not, the odds are probably insanely lower

but if they don't share the data we can't know

[cerulean rover]

it's likely not in the single digit percent range, that was the point I was trying to get across, we just have no real idea, saw a report of hundreds of thousands signing up for shuffle a while back though.

[sonic vigil]

that doesn't surprise me, but also depressing to know 😄

[cerulean rover]

article in question:
https://www.pcmag.com/news/no-luck-on-newegg-shuffle-its-probably-because-youre-competing-with-100k

[sonic vigil]

and as I said I'd be surprised if the inventory on any drop is double digit, but again we don't know

it could be 1, it could be 1000 (unlikely) they don't tell us

[cerulean rover]

btw, not their speculation, they said Newegg stated the number,

Since then, we’ve wondered what kind of demand Newegg is seeing for the raffle system. On Wednesday, the retailer gave us the 100,000 number.

[sonic vigil]

I'm sure the odds are better on big ticket items like a 3090

[cerulean rover]

mhm

not everyone signs up for the same thing

[sonic vigil]

simply because most can't afford the price tag

[cerulean rover]

there's also always just the bad deals

the usual 1200$ 6700xt aib model, yaknow

[sonic vigil]

oh ofcourse -- buy this 300$ thing you can't use too!

I'm probably breaking down and buying from a scalper next month

[cerulean rover]

Well, a chance is a chance

[sonic vigil]

indeed, until I do I will enter every chance that's given

[cerulean rover]

r/hws might also be good to look for the scalped-but-not-that-scalped cards

[sonic vigil]

I had no money for the last 2 months, but now I have about 2k-2500k available to get a card

indeed, even if someone isn't a "scalper" the ecosystem is what it is, and people aren't likely to sell for "good" prices

but better supporting someone who isn't a scalper than someone who is part of the problem

[cerulean rover]

there'll always be people that take advantage of the market and always people that get taken advantage of imo

it's a sad thing but it is what it is

[sonic vigil]

oh indeed, and a market like this is as ripe for scammers as it is scalpers

haha I saw a "3090" being listed for 270$ on some art selling site (not etsy) and it's like... what idiot would ever buy this?

and sure enough there was a review for the seller from someone who tried and got nothing

[vague vine]

Guys has anyone got a MSI LHR GPU recently ?

[heady turtle]

Why msi specifically lol

[haughty hare]

Is there rules on trading ?

Selling?

[heady turtle]

No trading selling buying begging or giveaways

[haughty hare]

Well that’s no fun

[heady turtle]

Tis the #rules i would check them out btw so you don't accidentally break them

I would recommend looking at r/hwswap if you're from NA

[haughty hare]

Is this a server ?

[heady turtle]

Reddit page

[haughty hare]

Ahh! Thanks man! Sorry I’m old 😂

[heady turtle]

Dw lol

[haughty hare]

Appreciate you

[heady turtle]

:)

Happy to help

[haughty hare]

Jesus I need a 100 comment karma

Lol

[drowsy kiln]

Or a 50 day old account

[grim frost]

I have that because I made an account and never used it

[fiery sky]

good gpu for the current prices?

[tall tendon]

3080 ti FTW3 for $1399. That's a decent price for retail. Right?

[halcyon plover]

Yes

Good price

[tall tendon]

Imma risk the 30minute drive

[green harness]

That's MSRP for that sku

[heady turtle]

whatever you can find for the littlest mark up over msrp

[cosmic bluff]

So i did purchase EVGA 1660 ti sx ultra for 250 and i come to find that msrp was 299 and it was unused and never opened but does it perform better or worse than Msi 1660 Ventus XS OC

I want to know so i can send the better one to a friend that needs one instead of running UHD 630

[lone pond]

do you have both rn?

If so you can do a benchmark

on your pc

3dmark demo

[cosmic bluff]

i dont have the second card as will arrive in 3 weeks

[tall tendon]

Seen some 3080ti go for$1899

[green harness]

Yeah, MSI, Asus, and Zotac 3080Tis have really high msrps

[heady turtle]

nice, the model number really counts eg 1660 ti no matter waht brand is better than the 1660, so the 1660 ti is better yeah

[cosmic bluff]

alright well a friend is about to get a big surprise here soon then thanks again pato to coming to the rescue

[heady turtle]

np :)

[lone pond]

Hope your friend likes their new card!

[untold ocean]

yo whats the best price for an rtx 3090

[gusty token]

a kidney

[ancient delta]

And both of your legs

[gusty token]

@untold ocean look the pinned messages

[tall tendon]

MC has A 3080 reserved for me and I can return my over priced 3090Strix.

[keen nacelle]

Nicee

[tall tendon]

Thanks for the reply can't wait to fire it up

[halcyon plover]

👍

Best gpu for gaming tbh

Better then the fe 3090

[dreamy dragon]

UltimateGrabber#3351 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tall tendon]

thats what i had gathered, glad i finally landed one

[magic wing]

Thats just false

3080 isnt as good as a 3090

3080ti is comparable to a 3090 in terms of gaming only

I still wouldnt call it necessarily better

its equal

[heady turtle]

Ye only way 80 beats 90 is value lol

Hi rommy

[magic wing]

hello vram

i mean rommy

my bad

am sleepy

[heady turtle]

I mean if your looking for a 90 for only gaming because you just want the best 80 ti is gonna be easier to get without selling a kidney

[magic wing]

IM SORRY ROMMY ILY

[magic wing]

only half a kidny needed

its at par at gaming perf

not for other uses

its just the best gpu for purely gaming rn

[heady turtle]

True true

[magic wing]

I mean its cheaper than the 3090 and gives the same gamin perf

[heady turtle]

Yeah but if just for gaming, it will be someone in the 0.05% that just wants the absolute best, no compromises

[magic wing]

yes but how much vram do you need for gamin

then the 3080ti isnt a card thats made for you tbf

its a gamin only card

can do productivity very well as well tho tbf

[heady turtle]

Well fe is myth at this point

The thing is you can find 80 tis around 1200

Hehe

Stonks

That was nice of dad

Ahj fair lol

[halcyon plover]

The 3080ti ftw3 is better then the 3090 fe in gaming

[heady turtle]

Probs just ocs better

[magic wing]

Some

not all

even resolution plays a big role

[halcyon plover]

Yeah I guess, but if you just game and want the best gpu you can save some money and get a 3080ti instead of a 3090.

[fossil crow]

What’s the difference between express installation and custom installation of nvidia graphics update?

[livid idol]

Express uses default settings and is fine for most people
Custom allows you to select what things to install and where to install them

[fossil crow]

Gotcha thank you

Do I have to update chipset drivers too?

I have a amd chipset I believe for Radeon?

[livid idol]

Unless your chipset drivers are missing or you're having problems a new version fixes there's not much reason to update those

[fossil crow]

Okay I wasn’t sure if that’s something that will tell me I need an update or need to look up on my own

Thank you.

[quartz gull]

This makes me so sad

That people fall for these

Someone just paid $173 for a scam gpu

[lone pond]

Hey, realized you never got back to us with your issue. your computer working fine?

[late haven]

planning to switch to amd whats a good cpu for the 3060 ti

[cosmic bluff]

i bought one as a joke for like $15 and i have it as my pfp

[hot folio]

3600 and up are all good

Pick whatever is the best you can get in your budget

[fossil crow]

Sorry I just saw this. I haven’t booted it in a long time. Been super busy and tired to go through it all. I turned it on tonight and had a lot of updates including nvidia so I do plan on getting to it. If I get surgery I’ll have time.

[lone pond]

Ah

Good luck with your surgery

[fossil crow]

Thank you. I will get to it. Sorry for keeping you waiting

[lone pond]

No problem! i'm fine but i was worried if you were still having issues

[fossil crow]

Mechanic wise there are no issues. I just know I don’t have proper settings to have graphics look their best.

[lone pond]

👍

[fossil crow]

Hope to talk soon. Have a good night

[quartz gull]

At least people are being less dumb with this one

[thick cliff]

Ah, the roulette wheel that is buying stuff on Ebay

[quartz gull]

I know

Last one I saw got up to $160 which is

The biggest sad

I just bought a 2gb 1050 for $100

[thick cliff]

For what purpose? 2GB cards are almost useless these days. Even the 4GB ones are becoming worthless.

[vital oriole]

wait

that looks like a fake 1050

1050ti i meant but still fake

[thick cliff]

Obvious fake. Easy way to tell: You can see right through the second fan

[thick cliff]

It looks like someone took a GTS 850 or whatever and slapped a 1050Ti fan on it and is passing it off as a 1050 4GB

[tender mulch]

Most of em aren't even 800 series

They're 400-600 series XD

[drowsy kiln]

Yea thats one of the fake 1050 or whatever PCBS

[tender mulch]

Maybe a GTS250 if you're really lucky

[vital oriole]

It could at best be a GTX 550Ti

But generally GTS 200-400 series

[thick cliff]

Like I said, the roulette wheel that is buying something from Ebay.

[tender mulch]

Eh, fakes are ez to identify

[vital oriole]

ye

They generally use ugly generic coolers

Or has obvious stuff telling that they're fake, like VGA port on a pascal card

[thick cliff]

In this case, it was obvious the fan was bigger than the entire card

[crisp ocean]

can i have an AMD and nvidia gpu in my sys running independantly

[quartz gull]

2GB cards are working fine. It's for my sister. I bought her a $22 i5 6400 rig and she only has a 720p monitor and wants to play things like rocket league and valorant.

[normal hawk]

Nice

[tender mulch]

Ah for 720p it's just fine yeah

1080p it'll struggle a bit

[quartz gull]

2gb 1050 gets 40-60 fps at 1080p medium in a lot of games

She plays Minecraft at 18ish fps rn

She has a j1900 Celeron and 4gb of ram in her current computer

[limber drift]

Has any brought a graphic card from StockX ?

[tender mulch]

Scam

Don't do it

Reports are mixed

[limber drift]

@tender mulch ty

[normal hawk]

I remember those days for me

@quartz gull if you ever feel like giving her a slight upgrade. Buy an old dell optiplex with a 3rd or 4th gen I5/I7. They can get fairly cheap.

[quartz gull]

I got an inspirion i5 6400 rig for $22

I'm giving her that

[normal hawk]

Oh right. Lol

Those cheap pre-owned dells coming in clutch.

I probably would have bought it too at that price just for server hosting for my brother lol.

[twin berry]

3070 ti 🥵 😍

[lone pond]

ok

[midnight solar]

Should I get a 2060-$500 or a 3060 ti -$700/$800

I’m not sure on what to decide myself so I’m just asking you all

[green harness]

Both of those prices are high for those cards

[midnight solar]

Yeah I’m not sure what I should do

I was thinking about waiting still but I’m honestly getting impatient

[green harness]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-patience-you-must-have-patience-gif-15254127

[heady turtle]

I'd only pay that much for a 3070 tbh, 3060 ti max I'd go is 650

That's way too much for a 2060 as well

[normal hawk]

Any good deal will likely be a scam tbh. Might as well wait for it to be available readily online, get lucky with a shuffle, or buy a prebuit to get one

[midnight solar]

Alright I’ll wait and have Patience

[heady turtle]

Unless it's like hw swap or something but that will just be an okay deal lol

[normal hawk]

True. I dunno why someone would trade down though

[heady turtle]

Hw swap isn't just swapping it's a buying and selling page on Reddit lol

[vital oriole]

you can, but it could cause issues sometimes

Like drivers interfering

[crisp ocean]

Ah ok got it

I’m asking cause I lowkey wanna try team red cards

But I don’t wanna spend a lot and then not like it

I know I could always sell it lmao

[vital oriole]

fair

[normal hawk]

If the market was good I'd just say get a 580 for cheap but those don't exist anymore

[heady turtle]

A quick ddu of the opposite brands drivers will do and then you can not worry about issues if you just use one at a time

[crisp ocean]

Well I know that, some games I play are AMD optimized and I wanted to play in a high res

But nvidia is also better for content creation in a few aspects + good FPS for others

[heady turtle]

Amd optimization is not that much of a difference that it will be notable between the 2 sides

[crisp ocean]

6700 gets 120 fps on ACV

my 3070 gets 60

[heady turtle]

That's not right

They must be running different settings or something

[hot folio]

Yeah that ain’t right

[crisp ocean]

Nope it is right

ACV is heavily AMD optimized

It runs 70 realistically on all max

And the 6700 csn get like 12

[heady turtle]

Optimizations are only 20% max over the other options counter part

[crisp ocean]

120

[hot folio]

Are you sure you were using the same resolution and settings?

[heady turtle]

There's no way they were exact same settings

[crisp ocean]

I think it was on high instead of max

But still lmao

[hot folio]

That makes sense then

[crisp ocean]

I would go for a 6800 or 6800xt anyways

[heady turtle]

Details can make a big diff and cpu/ran can sometimes make a diff too also remember benchmarks are clean installs of windows with nothing else running

[crisp ocean]

And this is a pretty big diff

[hot folio]

And that’s why I returned my 6700xt lmfaooo

[heady turtle]

Not that big of doff between 3080 and 6800xt

[crisp ocean]

At 4k my 3070 will not be as good as an AMD card

[heady turtle]

Fallen check what detail settings they are running

That's gonna make a big diff

[crisp ocean]

Doesn’t say lol

Only says resolution

Doesn’t even say cpu tbh wtf

[heady turtle]

Then you can't compare between that and your setup

Find a diff benchmark then

[crisp ocean]

I’m not comparing it between thst

I’m comparing it between the 3070 benchmark and 6800xt

Because I know at least the 3070 given isn’t too big of a diff from my actual 3070

[heady turtle]

Noone with a 3070 should be playing 4k smh that's 3090 territory barely

[crisp ocean]

What

3090 doesn’t barely run 4k

[white brook]

Anyone down to give me a 3090? I’ll trade my 3070 for it…. Lmao I’m jk btw

[heady turtle]

Ehh it runs it under 40fps where it can which i consider not playable

[crisp ocean]

Also 3090s are very.... Meh

For which game

ACV?

[heady turtle]

Yeah but at 4k the extra vram is a big diff

[white brook]

The only thing that makes a 3090 way better then a 3080 is that it has more VRAM

[heady turtle]

I just don't think 4k is visble

[heady turtle]

No it's got a better gpu die

[crisp ocean]

It’s got a better binned die

They’re the same actual die

[white brook]

Ight lol

[vital oriole]

Better bin, better vram too not just extra of it

[heady turtle]

Nvm I read and meant to type 8k lol

[crisp ocean]

I was gonna say lmao

3080 gets above 40

I need to run a 8192x MC texture pack I need a 3090

[green harness]

3080s are solid for 4k

The 3090 is really only for people who need to vram for work, or for people with more money than sense

[heady turtle]

Keep reading

[green harness]

oh, you meant 8k?

No card is really suitable for 8k 😆

[heady turtle]

I misread lol

But still don't think there's a point of 4k display unless you're using a tv on your desk lol

[green harness]

1440p is the sweet spot right now imo

I don't see the point of 4k for me atm with how demanding it is and with how expensive monitors are

[keen nacelle]

Eh, for people that play games for fun instead of competitively and have the money it's there

But for people who play competitively or can't spend 700$+ on a monitor and the money on a high end gpu 1440p/1080p is much more sensible

@sterile parcel nah I prefer 8k with a gt 1030

Cause it can definitely output 8l

8k*

Maybe

I ran bo4 at around 40-50fps on 1050p

It was also an i5-3470 so idk if that counts

I didn't even know that 10 series could output 8k

[green harness]

Smooth gameplay feels better even outside of competitive games

[normal hawk]

I would love the VRAM for UE5.

[green harness]

making stuff in UE5?

[normal hawk]

I want to get more into level design. It's more of a hobby than anything right now.

[green harness]

Yeah I'd still count that as "work" even if you aren't being paid. Might be more economical not to get that much vram but you'd actually use it. Unlike people gaming with it

[normal hawk]

Yeah lol.

I have a 3080 waiting for me at home. but i always have a dual PC set up to split work from fun.

[tender cedar]

I have no graphics card

[karmic crag]

join the club

[heady turtle]

I still think 1440p is the best option

[karmic crag]

^^^

4k isn't that commercially viable right now

it's nice, and you get a couple brownie points for owning a 4k monitor, but it's not worth it in my opinion

[normal hawk]

How much would you pay for a 6800?

[hot folio]

1.1k max personally

[normal hawk]

I see an open box for 939$

At a fairly reputable store

Would be a replacement for my 5700 XT in my racing sim. 🤔 Not sure if i need it though

Would make FH5 look really good though 🤤

[hot folio]

Not a bad price

6700xts go for the price

What model is it?

[normal hawk]

GIGABYTE - AMD Radeon RX 6800 GAMING OC

[hot folio]

Not terrible

[normal hawk]

I get paid in 4 days. So i might as well 🤷‍♂️

[hot folio]

Hell yeah, go for it

If it doesn’t work out you can always sell it

[normal hawk]

Is this like the 5700 and 5700xt where you can flash bios to the one above or nah?

[tender mulch]

No lol

AMD learned from that mistake

[hot folio]

Definitely not

It might be possible with a 6800xt and 6900xt but I don’t want to test it out

Because I’m pretty sure the 6800xt is just a 6900xt with some cores disabled

[tender mulch]

Most likely physically disabled or cut from the die

[hot folio]

Most likely

[normal hawk]

Why are they making it difficult e.e

[keen nacelle]

5700xts going for 800 on ebay still

[lone pond]

If i buy a 3060 ti eventually what version should i try to buy?

does it matter

like founders edition, gigabyte gaming, msi ventus etc

[keen nacelle]

Only real difference is dealing with the company itself if you have to warranty and cooling I believe

Evga and asus are best for warranty and tend to have good cooling

[lone pond]

Okay thanks

[mellow glen]

You guys think trading a 3070ti + 500 for a 3080ti is a good deal?

[halcyon plover]

Depends on the model

And if you need the upgrade

[mellow glen]

Hmm ideally was trying to trade for 3080 but some guy offered 3080ti

[halcyon plover]

Which model do you have and what you get

Seems fair trading tbh
1200-700=500

[mellow glen]

I have EVGA FTW3, he has FE

I’ll offer the guy 400 let’s see what happens

[kindred stone]

Guys i need a help I installed amd system monitor so in it its showing gpu clock 100mhz and memory speed 150 mhz but gpu load 0%so is my gpu working?
Amd Radeon 7400m series

[vital oriole]

That's normal

If it's unused it'll be like that

Besides it's a laptop gpu, so it's only used when it's a game or smth you assign to use it

It uses the igpu in the cpu to display stuff

[kindred stone]

Yeah

Oh thanks I was literally worried whether my gpu was dead or alive

[vital oriole]

You should be worried if it doesn't get used in game, haha

[heady turtle]

I'd only pay that for a 6800xt not non xt imo

[green harness]

That seems reasonable based in msrps

[heady turtle]

The cheapest you can but tbh 3060 tis are soooo rare, you've a way higher chance to get a 3060 or 3070 than 3060 ti

[lone pond]

Yea idk when i'll have enough to buy one tho

in a year and a half maybe

when i get a job

[heady turtle]

Sounds like 4060/70 time lol

[lone pond]

true

oops caps

[kindred stone]

But in gaming only intel gpu is getting used gpu load 19 % 20% etc

[vital oriole]

It could depend on the game

[kindred stone]

Ohk

But in graphics settings when I go and add any games it shows in options under graphics preferences in power saving intel hd 3000 and in high performance also intel hd 3000
But its not showing my gpu amd 7400m series in high performance

[mellow glen]

Make sure your drivers are up to date

You can prolly disable the onboard graphics if you have the gpu

[kindred stone]

I disabled it then it choose the Microsoft display adapter but when I was going to enable hd 7400m series then its showing There is a problem with this

Instead my gpu is actually amd radeon 6490m but windows 10 installed 7400m series . I downloaded from amd official center but they also downloaded hd 7400m series

[mellow glen]

So you have your amd 7400m installed and it’s the only@one installed correct?

Managed to get a 3080ti for my card + 400, not too bad tbh

[kindred stone]

Installed is amd 6490m but drivers installed are from amd 7400m

[karmic crag]

what card did you have

[late haven]

whats the gpu with the most performance i need for a 1080p 144hz monitor

[tender mulch]

3060/3060TI/6700

[late haven]

k

isnt that a bit overkill?

[tender mulch]

Considering most of the others have been discontinued and you'll probably keep it for 3-5 years, leaves room to grow

[cerulean rover]

You asked for most performance sooo

[tender mulch]

Upgrade to 1440p etc

[heady turtle]

1660 super will do for light gaming at 1080p 144hz

Actually will do more than light lol

[cerulean rover]

But there's also just more and more graphically intensive games coming along

[tender mulch]

If you can find one that's not $400 XD

[late haven]

alr

ill upgrade to 1440p

[mellow glen]

3070ti FTW3

[karmic crag]

interesting choice

[mellow glen]

Now im probably gonna downgrade to 3080 and get some cash back lol we’ll see though

[mellow glen]

How are you installing drivers, from AMD? Device manager ?

[mellow glen]

Was originally trying to post a trade for a 3080, but the 3080tj was offered and 400 cash on top@of my card didn’t seem too bad

[heady turtle]

Whatttt?

3070 ti to 3080 downgrade

[karmic crag]

3080 ti to 3080 downgrade

strange decisions all around in my opinion, but in 2021, a card's a card

[heady turtle]

But @karmic crag they say they have 3070 ti

[karmic crag]

had**

they traded it for a 3080 ti plus cash

[heady turtle]

Ahhhhh

[mellow glen]

Yes sorry for confusion lol

3070ti -> 3080ti -> 3080

May end up keeping it though I’m not sure yet LOL

[heady turtle]

Fair lol

[late haven]

how much should i sell my 2070 founders edition for

i wanna scalp some cash

[mellow glen]

Could prolly get like 400-500ish

Maybe more depending on. Buyer

[heady turtle]

That's msrp of the card lol easily get 800 or so loll

[mellow glen]

Really? Doesn’t it get similar performance to 1080?

[heady turtle]

Ehh it would easily go for 600 650 anyway, it's a bit better than 1080 but has dlss better nvenc and rt capability

[mellow glen]

Ahhh gotcha that makes sense

[mellow glen]

List for 800 expect to go down to 650ush 😉

[heady turtle]

Sorry forgot how much better the 2070 super was xd

They going for 800ish

[mellow glen]

Prices have been going down so probably a good time to sell before prices completely

Damn 800 for a 2070 super that’s crazy

Definitely try to get that while you can

[livid idol]

You'll probably need the "legacy" drivers since the old 6000 series is deprecated. You also won't be able to install Windows 11 once it comes out since that GPU doesn't support DX12.
Here's the newest driver that supports that GPU, from 2016: https://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/non-whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-16.2.1-sep20.exe

[keen nacelle]

Nah, more so like 700

[kindred stone]

Amd

[kindred stone]

Yeah I have that crimsom one

[kindred stone]

Not only that I don't have TPM also so.... I couldn't

[late haven]

just wanna test something real quick

lol

[tender mulch]

Do that again and its permanent.

[split parrot]

There are work arounds for TPM

[kindred stone]

Oh...

[tender mulch]

On the current version floating around, who knows with the final release

[vital pivot]

My neighbor brought over his old school Alienware for me to look at

I didn’t feel like setting it up so I pulled out my screen I’ll be using for system monitoring

7 inch touch screen for the win

Turns out the PSU has a circuit breaker that had tripped

[mellow glen]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=100-NK-3000-B9

this would work for my evga 1000w p2 correct?

3080ti fe

[verbal cedar]

you got a 3080ti how

[mellow glen]

trading my 3070ti + $$$ 😛

[livid idol]

Which P2 exactly, 3 of the P2-1000 are listed as compatible with those cables

X2, X6, and XR

[mellow glen]

uhhh

[livid idol]

It'll say the exact model on the box and on the sticker on the unit

[mellow glen]

ok ill have to check the unit, dont have box lol

[livid idol]

If you have an invoice or order confirmation email you can usually tell from those too

[mellow glen]

220-P2-1000-XR

Ok so should be good then

[livid idol]

Yep that'll work

Nice that they have the 12 pin cable so you don't need the adapter but still sucks you have to buy it.

[mellow glen]

True that :/ I can always use adapter in meantime but yeah that does suck

[verbal cedar]

what is a good gpu overclocking tool for 3000 series (3070)

[mellow glen]

i think generally people use afterburner

[magic wing]

MSI afterburner

Works for almost any gpu

Even non msi gpus

[verbal cedar]

ok thanks

[magic wing]

GPU-Z or hwinfo to monitor if the oc took effect or no

[halcyon plover]

And 3d mark timespy to benchmark

[verbal cedar]

how does this oc look?

[mellow glen]

did you test?

[magic wing]

use heaven benchmark to test it

Personally I wouldnt increase the voltage for a daily OC

[halcyon plover]

Thats hot for a 3070

It shouldnt go above 70c

And do a fan curve not a static 70%

[keen nacelle]

Depends on the model

[halcyon plover]

Yeah i guess

Most dont go over 70 tho

[fallen kettle]

I'm getting a used R9 270X for 80 USD (6k INR) is it a good deal?

[verbal cedar]

I accidentally changed a setting in my bios and now my cpu wont go above base do you know how to fix it or can I reset my bios and keep my data on my ssd

[magic wing]

resetting bios doesnt do a thing to ur data lol

[verbal cedar]

ok how do I do a full bios reset? My mobo is a Prime B550m-a ac

[magic wing]

gaming? not really
basic display? yeh

[magic wing]

f5 i think

[verbal cedar]

ok if it isn't that I will see if I can find a youtube video

[fallen kettle]

Hmm thanks! I read about it and its good enough to go through this shortage I guess

[magic wing]

it is f5 for most asus mobos

[magic wing]

6k inr is a very nice price tho btw

see if you can get an rx570 for 8-10k inr

[fallen kettle]

Yeah that's why I got my hopes up

[fallen kettle]

I can't find it anywhere but I'll keep looking 👍

[magic wing]

II got mine new for 12 k so second hand 8-10k seems possible

[verbal cedar]

thank you

[magic wing]

it was f5 im guessing?

remember to enable DOCP btw

[verbal cedar]

it was and I did

[magic wing]

Glad I could help 🙂

[verbal cedar]

me too I was worried

[verbal cedar]

my 5600x is only boosting to 4.5 when i have seen it hit 4.66 do you know why

[magic wing]

Its normal

lotta factors influence boost behaviour

[heady turtle]

That will depend if you have precision boost overdrive enable and your cooler etc

[verbal cedar]

i increased my fan curve and on https://cpux.net/cpu-stress-test-online I'm geting 4.6+ a little bit

[heady turtle]

I've never heard of that stress test use 3d mark on steam or something

And i don't trust a website lol

[verbal cedar]

I do use 3dmark that was just fast to see if what I did worked

I'm running it right now

[magic wing]

use cinebench single core

[verbal cedar]

Is it free?

[magic wing]

on the microsoft store

its free

[verbal cedar]

Ok

this is annoying earlier with the same gpu oc i have now I got lie 13020

[magic wing]

thats fine

[verbal cedar]

I just don't get why it is so much lower?

[heady turtle]

What's the cpu score say?

[verbal cedar]

8105

[magic wing]

many things influencw the boosting of the gpu and cpu

that score is fine

[verbal cedar]

and gpu is 13846

[verbal cedar]

i know but i don't get what affected it 500 points

[magic wing]

oh 8105 is low for a 5600x

[magic wing]

the factors you claim to know about

[magic wing]

within normal tho

so its fine

[obtuse sierra]

I found a guy selling a 2070 super fe for less than $400, said he won it in a giveaway, doesn’t need it, and wants some cash. States that it is still sealed in the box. Too good to be true?

[heady turtle]

Yep that's what you get with an oc'd 3600x right

[magic wing]

little less

but yeah

my 3600x is a gold sample tbf tho

[heady turtle]

A average for timespy with 5600x is 8163

[magic wing]

its average within margin of error

so its fine

[heady turtle]

Sounds it imo, they're going for twice that on ebay

[heady turtle]

I'm guessing pbo not on

[magic wing]

Nah pbo on

[heady turtle]

Really?

[magic wing]

pbo off will do like 7000 something

[magic wing]

since itll be locked to 3.8ghz

[heady turtle]

It should have the stock boosting algorithm just pbo better

[magic wing]

yep its boosting

[magic wing]

ahhh yep

[verbal cedar]

Is there anything you see I need to change?

[heady turtle]

Go into advanced

[verbal cedar]

There

What do I need to/check?

@heady turtle

[heady turtle]

There should be an overclocking section or something

[heady turtle]

Try ai tweaker

[verbal cedar]

Ok

[heady turtle]

Can you scroll down

[heady turtle]

Precision boost overdrive

[heady turtle]

Precision boost overdrive again

[verbal cedar]

Auto disabled enabled or manual?

[heady turtle]

Enabled

You could do manual but I'd just do enabled

[verbal cedar]

Ok done anything else?

[heady turtle]

What's it show now? Anything different?

[verbal cedar]

Does what show?

[heady turtle]

What does it show now

[heady turtle]

What do the other drop downs say ?

I'm not v familiar with asus bios

[verbal cedar]

Pbo has auto, disabled, or enabled

Max cpu boost clock override has auto or fill it on

Platform themal throttle limit is auto or manual

[heady turtle]

Okay just leave the rest for the moment then

[verbal cedar]

Leave bios and test?

[heady turtle]

Yeah save and exit and retest

[verbal cedar]

Should I test single or multiple cores?

It is boosting to 4.51

While in single core test

[magic wing]

yeah try enabling PBO

[verbal cedar]

where in the bios is that?

[heady turtle]

I just enabled it sith them rawr

[magic wing]

ok nice

[vital pivot]

Woo hoo. The shuffle is starting soon.

[normal hawk]

No gpu's

[vital pivot]

Yeah. I noticed. Like wtf

[normal hawk]

Just cpu's I've had plenty of chances to buy at msrp and below msrp 🤷‍♂️

Newegg gods, please let me win the XSX today

[glacial narwhal]

I don’t use AMD graphics cards so the numbers confuse me. But an RX 580 is like lower on the hierarchy, like lower performance?

[worn gazelle]

6700xts, 6800 and 6900xts are live on newegg sold buy newegg if anyones has been looking for them

[dreamy dragon]

Big Daddy Dubbs#7886 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[normal hawk]

Oh a 6900xt for 1800$? That's the lowest I've seen in a while.

Tempted. Ngl

Not sure if I'd actually need it for just racing games though.

[magic wing]

580 is 3 years old

it still keeps up tho

great budgt card imo

but yee 5000 series and 6000 series way better

[grim frost]

It is, but GL finding it in a budget range RN

[magic wing]

I mean

other cards cant be found at msrp either

its still a budget card

just that the budget has shot up

for all cards

[grim frost]

I sold my 580 and got a 1070 ti with it's money, it's insane

[vital oriole]

bruh

damm

[dreamy dragon]

sageweeb#1133 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[upper imp]

yo wanna play cod

[keen nacelle]

Yeah 580 8gb is good for mining so it's going for nearly as much as 1070tis

[grim frost]

it went for over

[keen nacelle]

Wow, whatd you sell it for? I've seen around 450

[glacial kelp]

What's with this LHR queue change in EVGA, anybody knows? https://prnt.sc/17bp42o

I don't want to mine, so was I moved to an identical product with less mining capabilities?

So LHR is Light Hash Rate, problem solved.

[mellow glen]

It put you@into a queue bar should move faster bc there will be less liners trying to go for it

[glacial kelp]

But instead of halving the mining capabs they should have trashed the mining part to the ground 😄

[mellow glen]

That’s the theory

[glacial kelp]

We shall see.

I have a 5900 cpu paired with a 1060 😄

[halcyon plover]

Its doesnt matter

You can mine ither coins lol

[mellow glen]

Wasnt it targeted at Etherium

?

[halcyon plover]

Its like 20% less proftable then eth rn but still

[halcyon plover]

Thry only blocked eth yes

[keen nacelle]

Nah its like 37mh/s with eth, 80 on raven

3070 ti that is, sorry

[halcyon plover]

Its not same algorithm

[keen nacelle]

Having three conversations at once

[halcyon plover]

You cant compare hashrates

[keen nacelle]

Yeah ig

[halcyon plover]

I mine raven on my 3070ti , get around 3.5-4 a day not bad

[keen nacelle]

I mine eth wirh my non lhr 3060 ti, dropped from like 5-6 a day to 3 a day

If that

Debating trying to trade it for a better 30 series lhr card and mining raven

[halcyon plover]

The good days when a 3070 did 8$

[cold spire]

Is 350 a good price for a 5500 XT 8gb?

[keen nacelle]

That's qround what they go for on ebay so not really

[cold spire]

K

Thx

[heady turtle]

It did like 10€ at a point :(

[halcyon plover]

Yeah i made 70$ in one day i remember

2 3070 3060 5500xt and 2 1060

Not all of them mine but me and my brother on same nicehash account

[heady turtle]

Damm

[crisp ocean]

When’s the next BB drop

[green harness]

Following the pattern sometime next week. Lately it's been Thursday afternoons but who knows

[keen nacelle]

how much of a difference is there between 6800 and 6800xt? i dont know much about amd cards

[heady turtle]

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/Radeon-RX-6800-XT-vs-Radeon-RX-6800/4312vs4314

@keen nacelle ^

[keen nacelle]

ty

[heady turtle]

Np

[hot folio]

6800 is a tad bit better than a 3070, 6800xt is on par with a 3080
