Now*

#

32gb 3600mhz ram, asrock b550m, id cooling se-224xt, evga 750w bq, cooler master n400, 2 artic p12 pwm and 2 stock fans

#

And gigabyte gaming oc pro 3060 ti with ryzen 3600

#

I'm excited for alder lake to drop

#

Bc ddr5 and well finally know the differences it'll make

#

I think the slowest speed will be 4800 if what I saw was right

#

Yeah they'll def overtake amd for the strongest cpus

#

I'm waiting for ryzen 7000 series to upgrade, bc I don't want first generation ddr5

#

Bc first gen ddr4 was finnicky

#

Oh I found out today that valorant corrupted my windows install and made me delete 2tb worth of stuff

#

Which was fun

#

Yeah 3600 is fine for now anyways

#

And my 3060 ti will be capable enough to make it 3 years with decent gaming settings

#

I'm mining with my gpu on the side and I'm going to use it to fund a new mobo, cpu, ram, and gpu in 3 years

#

Sits at 62° max so it's safe

#

Yeah with the eth crash I'm only making 3$ a day now but whatever

#

I mine like 12h a day, so that's about 700$ a year

#

I dont feel like doing the math

#

What software did you use to mine?

#

I'm using CLI gminer through salad

#

It means I can only pull the profits out through Amazon gift cards/visas, but izz fine

#

I have some opinions on musk I'm not sure I can say here

#

I was using nicehash

#

Got locked out of my account

#

So that was fun

#

Only had like 6$ in there but just annoying that I can't use it

whole robin Jul 2, 2021, 2:37 AM

is there like a good temporary gpu I could buy until I can get a 3000

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:37 AM

As in good enough to run your games?

Well 1650 is the base gpu to run cod currently

whole robin Jul 2, 2021, 2:38 AM

how many frames

for like max settings

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:38 AM

So I'd say probably 1650/s/1060 6gb

#

Well

You won't be able to run max settings on cod with anything less than a 2080, probably 2080s

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:41 AM

Check out r/hardwareswap

#

1060 6gb goes for like 275 on there rn, which is still ridiculous but it's better than ebay

#

1070 is going for like 350 on there, which is nearly as good as 2060 without rt and dlss

oh ok cool

should I make my own post or something

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:43 AM

#

You can but read the rules and check acouple other posts first, its annoying to get it right

#

[USA-(Your state shortened, like PA, VA, AZ, ETC)] [H] Local cash, paypal [W] 1060 6gb or comparable gpu

#

And put budget in the post and local zip and whatever else

#

Also only pay with PayPal goods and services if you buy shipped

#

No crypto or cashapp, g&s is scam protected

whole robin Jul 2, 2021, 2:46 AM

#

only paypal?

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:46 AM

#

Paypal goods and services, or local cash if you find one for local pickup

#

Goods and services. Not friends and family.

#

^^

#

Then they can not send you it or send you smthn broken, and you can't get your money back

#

Also always ask for Timestamps. That means a picture of their gpu with their reddit username in the picture

#

If you want help making sure it's legit just ping me

#

Or dm

#

Keep in mind, 1060 6gb and 1650 will really only run your games at low settings

#

Also 980 ti is higher power usage but if you have the psu, it performs same as 1070 and tends to go for less

whole robin Jul 2, 2021, 2:48 AM

#

980ti?

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:49 AM

#

Yeah but to hit 60fps at 144hz 1080p it's low settings right?

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:49 AM

whole robin 980ti?

Yes

whole robin Jul 2, 2021, 2:49 AM

#

I mean my PSU has 850W

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:49 AM

#

Yeah 980 ti is prolly your best bet then, it's comparable to 2060 without the streaming capabilities or dlss

whole robin Jul 2, 2021, 2:49 AM

#

really?

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:49 AM

#

Yep

#

980 ti=1070

#

Which is nearly as strong as 2060

980ti and a 5600x OkayChamp

#

bet

keen nacelle Jul 2, 2021, 2:50 AM

#

Rule of thumb is xx80 ti = next generations xx70

#

1080 ti is similar to 2070 if you include dlss

#

2080 ti= 3070

Hi Newt fancy seeing you here 😳

spare relic Jul 2, 2021, 9:48 AM

#

My 970 lets itself cook to 80 degrees before it levels off, and when I change one setting in afterburner it allows the core to clock down to keep itself at a cooler temp of 70

#

I might have afterburner start automatically cuz I would like to have it do that by default, either that or have a slightly higher fan curve

heady turtle Jul 2, 2021, 9:51 AM

#

Just fan curve imo usually the stock fan curves kinda suck

spare relic Jul 2, 2021, 9:51 AM

#

I didn't want to enable auto start because of that thing where it could crash the computer upon startup if you have an unstable setting

heady turtle Jul 2, 2021, 9:52 AM

#

Just stress test your profile then

spare relic Jul 2, 2021, 9:53 AM

#

The core boost is clocked at like 1260 or so by default which is higher than most aib boost settings at usually 1150 or so

heady turtle Jul 2, 2021, 9:54 AM

#

If that's stocl its extremely unlikely it's unstable

spare relic Jul 2, 2021, 9:54 AM

Goes to typical base clock of 1050 with that setting enabled

#

Yea nah lol

heady turtle Jul 2, 2021, 9:55 AM

#

Most aibs still have a lot of headroom

spare relic Jul 2, 2021, 9:55 AM

From what I gather the OEM cards usually have higher default boost clocks but lower headroom as a result, vice versa for aibs

How much does a programmer earn per month in US? In Eastern Europe a good one earns 4-5k USD after tax easily. The best ones take sabaticals here and there because they make too much money.

#

What's 3k for those?

#

And that's ignoring many other branches of wealthy individuals.

Add to that the people that can deduct such a spending.

And you have a large group of individuals that can easily buy that.

normal hawk Jul 2, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

I'm in the ME currently, but that's a Micro center in the US.

The fact that those are consumer level GPU's is the issue imo.

But for the average household that's literally like a months income. Which most people can't really do. Especially since that's almost 3x the price of AMD's reference cards.

#

And depending on the developers, you might not even go to the store to buy one. I know some studios buy their devs workstation through deals with manufacturers rather than stores themselves. So then it's mostly amateur developers having to pay that awful fee 🤷‍♂️

#

But also, unless UE5 really improved it for RDNA2, Nvidia is still the way to go for production in the consumer market.

Are you defending what is essentially a business scalping a product by "oh some people can afford it so who cares?"

It's 3x msrp. The GPU costs as much as an entire PC that would be better for software development which you used as an excuse.

runic crypt Regarding lower-end GPU, is 1050 Ti still useful?

Depends on the game

runic crypt Jul 3, 2021, 12:32 PM

#

Not games

#

It’s for 3D modeling

#

The reason is that I don’t want to make my CPU hurt.

1050Ti is uh..

Weak for that purpose

runic crypt Jul 3, 2021, 12:33 PM

#

Oh?

#

Is the 20 series better for that?

#

What is the 1050 Ti best for?

#

It was released in 2016, which isn’t terribly long ago, but PC tech evolves really quickly.

#

This is coming from someone who initially thought it was a good idea to work with stuff I had… from the early 2000s and 2010s.

drowsy kiln Jul 3, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

1050-Ti is basically your 10-series GTX 960. Both of which are very capable cards in their price ranges.

#

Just make sure you know what games your looking to play and look at benchmarks with a GTX 1050-Ti and the CPU (Or close to it) that your going to be pairing the 1050-Ti with. That way you can judge if the 1050-Ti gives you enough performance in the specific games your looking to play.

aight

sonic vigil Jul 3, 2021, 3:07 PM

#

but yeah, if you aren't under warranty or don't want to go that route, I'd check the pads as mentioned - if any need replacing I'm assuming you need to get 1mm thermal pads

#

also you may need to put new thermal paste on the GPU

#

just because you removed it

late haven Jul 3, 2021, 3:08 PM

#

pretty sure i dont have all the tools to open it tho

sonic vigil Jul 3, 2021, 3:08 PM

I've heard (and might be wrong) t hat old thermal paste may not work well when seperated and reattached

late haven Jul 3, 2021, 3:08 PM

#

it doesnt overheat

#

its usually 32-40 C

sonic vigil Jul 3, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

right, but removing the heat sync could cause it to without new paste is what I'm saying

cerulean rover Jul 3, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

Dried paste doesn't really do well at what it's made to do

sonic vigil Jul 3, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

all depends what it's using and how old

heady turtle Jul 3, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

late haven its usually 32-40 C

Under load? No, what's the temps under a stress test or gaming, idle means almost nothing

sonic vigil Jul 3, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

but either way, if you can't open it, and you isolated it to GPU issues, I don't have a lot of other options I can think of -- RMA and inspection

heady turtle Jul 3, 2021, 3:11 PM

#

Rma is a meh option in this economy

sonic vigil Jul 3, 2021, 3:16 PM

#

Just as a note I researched this pretty hard, and yes, the 5000D does sit the GPU lower in a vertical mount, but it is a very small amount -- about the different between using the 90 degree riser and the 180 degree riser. since I accidentally bought a 90 degree instead of a 180 I can quickly find out if this is enough to make it fit, but I doubt it -- I think either way the GPU and CPU are just incompatible

#

Just reach out to NVIDIA support

#

They would advise you about RMA process after whatever troubleshooting they deem necessary

heady turtle Jul 3, 2021, 3:18 PM

#

sonic vigil Just as a note I researched this pretty hard, and yes, the 5000D does sit the GP...

keen nacelle Jul 4, 2021, 2:44 AM

normal thorn guys I'm thinking building a budget build under 1000 which GPU should I get

Honestly if you're in the US just get this https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali491/p/N82E16883360086?itemPosition=1-12&exactIndex=4 gpus are incredibly hard to find atm, especially for budget because they stopped manufacturing of the 1650/60 and 20 series about a year ago

Basically you buy an EVGA card, register it, enter step up for a specific card (3090 ftw3 ultra in this case) and when they get to you they email and have you send the old cars back and pay the difference + tax for the new card
