[green harness]

Ok, furmark + prime95 😆

[dreamy dragon]

aLonelySalad#7380 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[magic wing]

furmark is meh for testing

[polar patrol]

oh this is a no curse server

[green harness]

You can use the Timespy demo and you can use furmark, prime05, and Aida for free

[polar patrol]

noted

[magic wing]

3dmark demo + prime95 small ffts

[green harness]

I just use it to stress test. Just hit the system with both that and Aida at the same time.

[polar patrol]

can I load them onto a usb beforehand?

[magic wing]

ehhh

[polar patrol]

and open them on his PC

[magic wing]

3dmark needs steam

so no

[polar patrol]

ffs

[magic wing]

prime95 you can

[polar patrol]

aight cool

so uh

prime95 and furmark?

do they give me like scores I can compare online?

im getting a pc with an 8700k and a 2070 + peripherals

[green harness]

3dmark would be better for that imo

[polar patrol]

ig ill ask him to download it befroehand

[heady turtle]

Yep they are

[polar patrol]

so when I arrive ill take a look at the pc and peripherals, load up the benchmark and verify the hardware

anything else I should look out for?

[heady turtle]

Pretty sure you need to install furmark but it's pretty quick

[polar patrol]

wait so which do I use

prime95, furmark, or 3dmark?

or aida?

[heady turtle]

No they don't, furmark is only for testing stability and temps imo

[heady turtle]

3d mark demo on steam is your best bet for this

[polar patrol]

bet

thanks

[magic wing]

use 3dmark

[heady turtle]

Np

[magic wing]

and prime 95

and cinebench

those 3

[polar patrol]

do I have to put in any credit card info before getting the free versions

cuz due to the economic crisis in lebanon all foreign currency credit cards were canceled

most of them at least

[heady turtle]

Nope

It's just a free install

[polar patrol]

thank god

thanks man

so CPU/GPU z, 3dmark, and cinebench?

how long do the tests take

[magic wing]

run prime 95 as well

[polar patrol]

what does prime95 test

[magic wing]

CPU

heavy cpu test

[polar patrol]

cool

does it give me a score to compare?

[heady turtle]

Cpu z and gpu z aren't tests they are info showing tools it will just show the name, use crystal disk info to check it's the right drive they say as well

[polar patrol]

yeah I know

just to make sure it's the right hardware

[heady turtle]

Yep

[polar patrol]

there's a lot of links for downloading prime95

how do I know which are legit

[heady turtle]

Ehhh show a ss

[polar patrol]

aight

[heady turtle]

Guru3d

[polar patrol]

thx

[heady turtle]

Or techpowerup

[polar patrol]

so I loaded up prime95 on my laptop and did a run for like 3 minutes

pretty straightforeward

does it give you a score or did I miss it

or is it like furmark where you'd use it to check for stability issues

[heady turtle]

It's more a stability/temp test

[polar patrol]

cool

I also ran furmark and it did give me a score

i thought it didnt

[heady turtle]

Furmark is an infinite test, the only thing it will give you is fps but that will depend on the resolution and other settings

[normal hawk]

She will try after work 😅 they'll probably be gone by then though which sucks

[magic wing]

???

[heady turtle]

Their sister bruh

[magic wing]

I see

What exactly was the problem

[heady turtle]

Rawr

[magic wing]

I see

thanks for context

[heady turtle]

Np lol

[normal hawk]

Lol

[molten hawk]

i have a question what are the best way to get a gpu at the moment

due to how hard it is

[magic wing]

buying an 11th gen intel cpu

great igpu

[heady turtle]

If you're in the US, best buy, micro center and newegg shuffle

[molten hawk]

but what if i dont live near a microcenter

cause a microcenter is waywayway too far

[heady turtle]

then best buy and newegg shuffle

[shadow anchor]

Hey I have a question

[heady turtle]

Ask ahead

[molten hawk]

does anyone here recommend me rent a bot to buy a gpu

ye or no

@heady turtle

[heady turtle]

No

[molten hawk]

but like i have been waiting for months and months and tooks LS

so idk

does anyone have any other advice beside the shuffle which i keep losing

bestbuy is only online in the US

[heady turtle]

Yeah try online when they drop, you can try zotac they drop sometimes too i think

[molten hawk]

They drop at 3am and like times when I am sleeping

[heady turtle]

Try r/hwswap on Reddit

[normal hawk]

AMD Direct as well

I wouldn't suggest getting a 6000 series except for from AMD

My sister's going now 😤 convinced her to go during her break.

Cause she's like 10 minutes away

Yee

And I'm paying her to do it lol

I'm still out of country. Could have waited but eh.

[heady turtle]

Pog

[normal hawk]

They ran out a little bit before she got there 😞

[heady turtle]

Rip

[normal hawk]

Dang it :c

Well, time to wait again

Maybe there will be a 3090 next time

[heady turtle]

🤞

[wicked blaze]

I finally won a shuffle this morning

[heady turtle]

Pog whatcha get?

[wicked blaze]

I was playing Hades and looked down mid boss fight to see the notification lol

[rustic pulsar]

I won the same card, it's one of the best 3060s out there, so quiet and maxes out at like 60 C

[wicked blaze]

thats great news, i was just glad to win one

[heady turtle]

Nice, bit expensive imo but a cards a card

And it is a beautiful card

[wicked blaze]

i also needed a new PSU so i really lucked out

[heady turtle]

Nice

[solemn panther]

Gg

cries in 3070

[twin niche]

I thought about going for the shuffle today but I can’t justify spending any more money on components

[austere minnow]

3000 series and 6000 series shortage who?

[hot folio]

Look at those prices

[gray adder]

Where is that at? The Best Buy near me doesn't even have GT 710s anymore

[drowsy kiln]

Likely Micro Center

[hot folio]

Nope

No microcenter has cards just on a shelf like that

They are either locked behind plexiglass or behind the counter

[heady turtle]

Best buy only do drops online

[gray adder]

I know that they only do new card drops online, but in South Dakota, you'd be pretty hard pressed to get shipping

[heady turtle]

They ship it to your local store afaik

[austere minnow]

its at canada computers

[austere minnow]

canada computers, not best buy

theyre all whatever current msrp is

i think i saw the 3060 for 600 cad

[hot folio]

OH THATS CAD

$650 USD for a 3070ti

Not bad

[fossil talon]

Canada - BB drops in stores

[austere minnow]

yeah the prices are decent

[keen nacelle]

What should I use to test gpu performance? I think mine is lottery

[cerulean rover]

3dmark

unigen superposition

[keen nacelle]

Alr thanks

[split parrot]

this is bs the video card shortage is lame i've been building pc's since 1998 never had an issue with any part

this is an outrage

damn this eggroll is good

[solemn panther]

Lol

[keen nacelle]

is this good?

bruh im seeing 1080tis perform better than this wtf

and a lot of them

oh thats why

i was looking at medium i ran it at high

[keen nacelle]

so does anyone know if this is decent?

i dont think that's a graphics card

[keen nacelle]

theres a self promo chat

[twin niche]

Why are you running a 3060ti on 1080p?

[cerulean rover]

Nothing wrong with that

And also, superposition has various presets

1080p 1440p 4k

[twin niche]

Just seems overkill for a card that good

Should be playing 1440p+

[fossil talon]

More so 1440p max

3060ti/3070 are ok for 4k but are well suited for 1440p

[twin niche]

Depends on what you’re playing I suppose. I rarely play AAA titles

[hot folio]

I play games at 4k

I like my eye candy

I got my monitor new for about $250

4K 75Hz 1ms response time

[magic wing]

1ms response is a scam

[hot folio]

Yeah it is

[magic wing]

not a real thing

[hot folio]

Yeah high refresh rate 4K is expensive

[cyan inlet]

It’s almost unnoticeable at 27” between 4k and 1440p unless they are side by side

[hot folio]

Mine is I’m pretty sure 30 inches not 27

[cyan inlet]

30”+ high refresh rate 4k is insanely expensive lol

[magic wing]

its almost like evrything ur saying has already been said

[cyan inlet]

I suppose that’s true seeing as there are a limited number of words.

[fossil talon]

Ahhh 4k 144 34" is going to break my wallet. I'm fine with 1440p 144 34" atm

[magic wing]

in this conevrsation lmaoo

[fossil talon]

Lmao

[cyan inlet]

[polar patrol]

yo so i downloaded prime95, furmark, and cinebench, but I dont think I can do 3dmark because the file size is way too big, is there any other tool I can use?

so far I can test the GPU for stability but I cant quantify its performance, any suggestions?

[magic wing]

Heaven benchmark

Run it on everything maxed

[heady turtle]

3d mark demo is like a couple 100 mbs should be fine

[magic wing]

Its 6.8 gb

The demo

[heady turtle]

Wtf really?

Thought it was way smaller lol

Nvm then

[acoustic ginkgo]

I remember when I was gonna buy a 2060 Super last year... and then listened to all the advice to wait "'cause the new cards will make the old ones cheaper". In the end, I got a 3060 this year from the shuffle. But, man, for a while I thought I was looking at another year or two before I could replace my failing laptop.

[spare relic]

[polar patrol]

it said 7 gigs

i downloaded unigine heaven

[heady turtle]

Jeez

[polar patrol]

yeah

[magic wing]

Told u

[polar patrol]

what presets should I be using for heaven

basic or extreme?

[heady turtle]

Yeye ik but idk mb I'm tripping now that i got ethernet properly with no powerline and a sn550 spoiling me xd

[magic wing]

Each and every setting maxed

[magic wing]

I hav 200mbps over wifi

And an sn550

And 8tb spinning rust

[heady turtle]

I has 120 Ethernet 😎

[magic wing]

So ur worse than me

[polar patrol]

lmfao I have 2 megabit/ sec

[magic wing]

F

[polar patrol]

ikr

ffs most scores online are with OC's

[magic wing]

Look for an average

[polar patrol]

this gpu shortage got me actin some kinda way

[magic wing]

And see if it comes close to that

[polar patrol]

aight

[magic wing]

Do not filter bypass

[polar patrol]

?

[magic wing]

2nd word

Filter bypass

[polar patrol]

OH

i thought I was on PCMR

forgot this was newegg

sorry

[heady turtle]

Better ping tho

[magic wing]

That’s because i join you on eu servers

Join my team next time

Play asian servers

[heady turtle]

But you also on wifi smh

[magic wing]

Its on da 5g band

[polar patrol]

the pain of not being able to run a lan cable

[magic wing]

And like 5 m from pc

[polar patrol]

fancy

[magic wing]

Maybe 10m

[magic wing]

All modern routers have 5g band. Not really fancy anymore

[polar patrol]

my wifi travels on horseback

[heady turtle]

Still lol

[heady turtle]

Mine is running through wall to room beside mine lol

[late haven]

is an i7 9700f good for a 1080 ti?

i would get a 9700k but i have an h370 motherboard

[keen nacelle]

3060 ti is made for good 1080p entry level 1440p, I have a 1080 144hz and 1440p 75hz, and seeing as I play games like warzone I prefer the higher refresh rate

[keen nacelle]

Yeah I don't see why it wouldn't be

[heady turtle]

Idk if i trust an i7 on a h series mobo

[late haven]

why not?

[magic wing]

Bad power delivery usually

[hot folio]

Bad VRMs on H series

[heady turtle]

^

[heady turtle]

Very entry level boards

[late haven]

well its an f variant so i thought it would be fine

[magic wing]

That just means it has no igpu

Nothing else

[late haven]

oh

[keen nacelle]

Maybe go for a 9400k?

[magic wing]

You mad?

[keen nacelle]

It's on par with a 3600

[keen nacelle]

?

[magic wing]

A k skew on an h board?!

[late haven]

didnt know that existed

currently have a 9400f rn

[keen nacelle]

Idrk about intel mobos, whats the power delivery on it?

[magic wing]

Stick with it

[magic wing]

H boards are bottom of the barrel

[late haven]

yeah but im losing like 10 frames

what about b motherboards?

[magic wing]

How do you know its your cpu

[keen nacelle]

That's really not that bad

[supple socket]

What is your budget for upgrading

[late haven]

bottleneck and stuff

[supple socket]

"bottleneck and stuff"

[magic wing]

Did you use a bottleneck calculator?!

[late haven]

yeah

[keen nacelle]

Those are never accurate

[magic wing]

Ok dont

[late haven]

aight

[magic wing]

Never trust em

Ever

[late haven]

i also watched some benchmark vids

[keen nacelle]

Best way to check is open smthn to watch cpu usage and gpu usage while gaming

[magic wing]

What gpu u said you had?

[late haven]

1080 ti

[keen nacelle]

Like msi afterburner and smthn for cpus

[hot folio]

Lmao you’re fine

[keen nacelle]

And then game

[magic wing]

Yeah no bottleneck as such

Also the poopy h series board severely limits ram speeds

So that might be why its not performing as well as those vids

[late haven]

doesnt the 9700f have a 2666mhz limit tho?

[hot folio]

Also keep in mind every card is very slightly different like 1-2%. no card is 100% the same as another one

[magic wing]

Doesnt matter

It can easily do 3600 ram

Mobo limit is what matters

[keen nacelle]

Check bios and see what speed your ram is running at

[magic wing]

Useless

[keen nacelle]

Why?

[magic wing]

Do you know anything about the h chipset?

H series that is

[keen nacelle]

Not really

[magic wing]

Then get informed before advising others

Please

Ur just confusing him rn

[magic wing]

doesnt matter

if that was true dimms above 3200 wouldnt have existed

you can safely ignore that

[heady turtle]

Keep that, or upgrade to an i5 11400 and b560 motherboard or just wait for 12th gen im9

[heady turtle]

No point changing boards without changing cpu

[heady turtle]

Bottleneck calculators are a load of steaming bs

[heady turtle]

Officially it will support 2666 but the i5 11400 Officially supports only 3200mhz but can do 3600 or 4000mhz on a b560 board with the right memory

[keen nacelle]

Theyre saying 12th gen is ddr5, which is the only real explanation for intel releasing it so early imo

[heady turtle]

Yeah it will be ddr5, wdym they're releasing it early? It's because they scrambled to release 11th gen which was 12 gen nm size backported

[keen nacelle]

Early compared to when they normally release

Don't they normally wait a year before next gen?

[heady turtle]

Yeah but it's because they wanna try get 10nm out because amd actually beat them this gen

[magic wing]

Amd did beat them this generation

[heady turtle]

Ik yeah that's why i said it lol?

[magic wing]

Im drunk nvm

[heady turtle]

Okay lmao

[magic wing]

My brain decided that might was a word in that sentance

[heady turtle]

Big brein

[wooden nacelle]

[rotund epoch]

To buy an asic or gpu.... hmmm

[vital oriole]

asic is less versatile than gpu

[mellow glen]

[crisp ocean]

I don’t have telegram

[mellow glen]

[wind ridge]

What 30 series nvidia cards would pair best with an i7-10700k without bottlenecking either very much

[halcyon plover]

Everything

Just get the one that you need

3060ti 3070 3080 are the most value ones

[lone pond]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali489/p/N82E16883360084
It says it has a 3060 but someone said its actually a 1660 super
which one is it

[green harness]

They advertise that as having a 3060 and it's not some shady third party seller, so if they ship you the wrong thing Newegg should take care of it

[lone pond]

Ok

thanks

[heady turtle]

The term bottlenecking is overused and usually used in a not correct way but a 3060 ti/3070/3080/3080 ti

[heady turtle]

I think you must be looking at 2 diff listings or something, that's a 3060

[twin niche]

@heady turtle 5800X arriving today 👌

Will go great with my 1660S until I find a 3000 series

[heady turtle]

Nice

[lone pond]

😄

[keen nacelle]

if you have a reddit account check r/hardwareswap i saw a 3060 for i think 565 earlier

and a 2080s for like 650

[twin niche]

I will wait for the market to chill and get something new at MSRP. Or just rock the 1660S til next year and get a 4000 series

[hollow raptor]

Praying for a 3070 from bbuy today

If it even drops today

[hot folio]

I wonder how much of a jump the 4000 series will be

[twin niche]

Perhaps not huge. But if I get a card at MSRP it’ll be enough to be worth it

[split parrot]

i feel the local stores should keep some stock for the locals instead of being online only

the best buy here locally will not sell any video card in store

[twin niche]

Same

They’re all doing that

[split parrot]

ya it's terrible

[hot folio]

I’m going to trade in my 6800xt for a 4000 series card when they come out

[split parrot]

i see micocenter has stock in store the NYC stores that is

[hot folio]

The NYC always have stock pretty much

Those are my local stores

[split parrot]

i might need to take a road trip

[hot folio]

Is it overpriced? 100% yes

And it’s mostly AMD cards

[split parrot]

i watched a video that stated they are retail not over priced

well you know what i mean

[hot folio]

1.4K for a 6800xt, 1.2k for 6800x 1k for a 6700xt

Retail scalp

[split parrot]

true

i am hoping something changes before october

[hot folio]

Who knows

[split parrot]

i know we all are

[hot folio]

Only reason I paid so much for my 6800xt is to see what it’s all about and for a pretty much free upgrade once 4000 series comes out

[split parrot]

was the 4000 series announced already?\

i haven't seen anything on that yet

[hot folio]

Nope but it’s going to come eventually

[twin niche]

It’s rumored for 2022

[hollow raptor]

No bbuy gpu drop today huh :/

[vital pivot]

Maybe Thursday as every 2 Thursdays they have one

[tawdry kestrel]

When are we going to see stock on mrsp GPU's?

[hot folio]

Who knows

[twin niche]

Seems like the shuffle has been more frequent. Perhaps it’s a sign of things to come

[hot folio]

Shuffle has been every weekday for the past 2-3 months

It ain’t no sign

very little but some hope

[split parrot]

Yes

Battlefield and halo

@lone pond that's terrible

Hehe

[brave violet]

I know that sucks. You can also put a hold and pick it up at UPS store if is closer for you. Or any Walgreens, CVS and other places that are drop off locations

[mellow glen]

if ups missed it they should attempt to redeliver

or did you miss it or sum

go to the tracking # and see if it has any info 😄

[sonic vigil]

Installed, and did a (very) little gaming on my new 3090 today 😮

[mellow glen]

howd that go

[sonic vigil]

Gaming was WONDERFUL -- and so pretty 😄

it's been more than a year since I've used a video card

[hollow raptor]

Was there a bbuy drop today

Oop okay bett thx

[fringe bane]

Is a normal 2080 a good decent gpu?

[green harness]

Yep it is

[keen nacelle]

yep, can run nearly all games at 1080p ultra

and at everything else a mix of high/ultra

[fringe bane]

How would you say it would perform 1440p and 4K?

Ah gotcha

[keen nacelle]

ehh, 4k probably not the best

i wouldnt even use a 2080 super for 4k, barely a 2080 ti

but for 1440p itd be probably mostly high settings?

not completely sure just a guess

true

[fringe bane]

I understand

[keen nacelle]

but what games do you play?

[fringe bane]

I’m fairly new to pc so I’m barely grabbing my first rig

[keen nacelle]

if youre playing games like warzone, to get max settings at 1080p they say you need a 2080s/3060 ti, but thats just an estimate, i was able to do ultra on a 3060 ti on 1440p 75hz

3060 ti= 2080s btw

only difference is ray tracing cababilities i believe

[fringe bane]

I see I see, well since I’m coming from a 1st gen ps4, honestly any gpu would be better so I won’t be complaining

[halcyon plover]

They meant 144hz probably

[keen nacelle]

yeah i wish i got a 1440p 144hz instead of my 1080p 144hz and 1440p 75hz

but i do enjoy ultra settings, in the games i play i prefer performance

what gpu?

when i stream playing cold war i have to turn RT down, but thats becuase my 3600 is awful

its similar to a 9880H

you should easily be able to, whats your cpu?

[halcyon plover]

Rt is nice for non fps games

[keen nacelle]

anyways, ima be tryna oc my cpu bc it very much lost the silicon lottery

imc urrently reinstalling windows because i keep blue screening

second time my windows has corrupted in the last 2 weeks

first time was a combination of forgetting to update to the latest nvidia drivers and valorants awful anti cheat

had to format both my drives the first time

2tb of crap lost

[fringe bane]

Oof

[keen nacelle]

this time i was atleast able to boot the whole way

yeah 1tb internet limit monthly so i wasnt able to install most of it

nah just wondering

i havent played cw in a while

the multiplayer is awful

its filled with people sweating and broken guns

do play warzone tho, rebirth is semi enjoyable

bo3 was my first zombies in 2019

then got bo4 in early 2020

really wish i didnt

awful game

yeah idk why i did

zombies is just so limited without steam workshop content

bo3 is the best zombies bc of steam workshop content

oh god i tried bo3 multiplayer

why did they have that double jump

so bad

lmao

only fun mode in cw multi is gun fight

i havent played in so long though

i enjoy not having a broken mouse

well multi anyways

played zombies a week or so ago

oh lovely ima have to reallow every single valorant and warzone folder through firewall manually

didnt know prop hunt was in cw

gmod is amazing

still need to find more maps for it

old game but a timeless one

really hope reinstalling windows finally fixes this issue

i randomly blue screen

right after booting, playing games

did benchmarks on my cpu and gpu to make sure they werent dying

wasnt that

either windows is having an issue or valorant corrupted my windows again

again

is there a way i can get updated when nvidia drivers update?

because i dont want to miss it again and have valorant corrupt windows yet again

idk where to turn it on

kk

ill do that when my windows is reinstalled

i really should be asleep i gotta be up at 6 for work

but insomnia is fun

LONELY_MAN#8995 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[lone pond]

I'm trying to get my hands on this EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC GAMING. I'm using the Oceana/Australia site. And the website says it is out of stock. The American one says it can only be bought through newegg shuffle. So when there is stock in Australia will it be first come first serve or will it also be as a newegg shuffle?

[heady turtle]

Newegg shuffle is us only so that only applies to the us site for evga

[lone pond]

Thank you

[heady turtle]

Np

[lone pond]

That would mean that the Au version restocks less often

right?

[heady turtle]

They're completely different supply chains after they leave the manufacturing process

Try look at other models of 3060 cuz the whole shortage

[crisp ocean]

Throwback to when I thought evga was a German GPU company

[heady turtle]

Be quiet, evga potato pot a toe

Installed my 1660 Super last night

Oh baby it’s sweet

Such a nice upgrade coming from a GTX770

It’s nice to have a card that only spins up fans when over a certain temp/load

[heady turtle]

Nice

[heady turtle]

I would open up afterburner and check the fan curve btw, usually the default ones are a bit wack, dw it should still keep your no fan spin until certain temp unless under load thingy

[twin niche]

I’ve never used afterburner I’ll download that tonight

[heady turtle]

👍

[twin niche]

Are there good guidelines I should use for fan curves when I get in there? I’ve never set up anything like that before

[heady turtle]

I like to go with the good old, 0% until 30c and then a flat line till 70c

Put it's a bit of preference

See how loud your fans are

But you can also do intervals instead of flat line lol

[hot folio]

Any point to replacing fans on a GPU cooler?

[heady turtle]

If it's like 5 ish years old/has a lot of usage/mining like 2.5/3 years old maybe

[hot folio]

I mean like on a new card

I’m thinking about it on my 6800xt because it’s so damn loud

On 100%

[heady turtle]

Why would you run at 100% tho?

[heady turtle]

I see, emm idk about the noise reductions, what's your fan curve look like?

[hot folio]

To get that sweet sweet 50 Celsius under load

[heady turtle]

Ehhhh 60-65c under load with a nice fan curve

[hot folio]

Yeah I know I was joking

I’m pretty sure I set my fan curve to max out at around 75%

[heady turtle]

Hmmm, send a pic?

[hot folio]

Ehhh that’ll be July 23rd

Away from the pc rn

[heady turtle]

Ahh fair

[hot folio]

Wait no I think it’s pretty much stock except I set it to only go to 100% at 85 Celsius

[halcyon plover]

You get 50c on load with 75%?

[magic wing]

85-90C is fine...

[hot folio]

50c on load with 100%

[halcyon plover]

Oh

[magic wing]

You know thats actually bad for the card right?

[hot folio]

I know I don’t run it at 100%

My fan curve is something like the stock one except I pushed back the temp needed to go to 100% to I think 85 or 90

But it never hits those temps even at 50-60%

[halcyon plover]

Yeah only 3080ti / 3090 reach temps around 80. Most lower aib cards never go over 70

[magic wing]

what?

[hot folio]

Huh?

[halcyon plover]

In the 30xx

I dont think i have seen someone with a 3070 that reach temps above 70

Unless its a fe

[solemn panther]

my ftw3 reached 71 once

[halcyon plover]

On quite bios?

[solemn panther]

no overclocked lol

[halcyon plover]

Oh

[solemn panther]

on quiet something must be VERY wrong

[magic wing]

My 570 goes to 80

its undervolted as well

lol

[halcyon plover]

Yeah older cards

[magic wing]

Heavy OC on the undervolt tho

[solemn panther]

ah

[halcyon plover]

My old 1060 single fan oc used to reach 89 on warzone lol

[magic wing]

1244@1150mv was stock

[solemn panther]

damn

[magic wing]

I do 1400@1100mv

lol

mem was something like 1750

I do 2160 daily

My highest is 1490 core and 2290 mem

[hot folio]

Which bios should I be running on my 6800xt? Quiet or the OC?

[halcyon plover]

OC

If you dont mind extra noise

But you can just change the fan curve... you said your temps are good so

[magic wing]

If you dont bios mod ur own OC bios ur doing it wrong

[heady turtle]

oc

[heady turtle]

think the oc bios has slightly better stock boosting behavior but i cant remember 100%

[solemn panther]

https://tenor.com/view/rtx-2080-2080ti-3070-3080-gif-18330984

[heady turtle]

lmao

[halcyon plover]

Yeah i know thats why its better to just have oc bios and if you want it to be quiter just make fan curve less aggresive if temps are fine.

Quiet bios are running on fe clock speeds i think

Anyway i dont even hear my fans untill they are more then 80%

Which never happends

[heady turtle]

fair lol

[south isle]

Anyone know where 3000 series GPUs often come in stock?

my friend has been without a working gpu for over a year and I really want to help him find a 3000 series card that's not scalped to the moon

heck even places other then newegg that do raffles for the chance to even buy one would be great

[heady turtle]

Newegg shuffle and best buy, or amd directly if they don't mind amd

[spice mulch]

Anybody heard of GPU Paradise shopping? Are they legit?

[winged stag]

I was shocked to see these micro center In Pennsylvania

[heady turtle]

wow

[lone pond]

Nice

[grim frost]

Why can't WA have one

[keen nacelle]

whats more demanding on gpu, 1440p 75hz or 1080p 144hz?

[leaden birch]

Was hoping Newegg Shuffle came through with a birthday miracle today but no dice lol

[karmic crag]

depends on the gpu

i'd say 1440p, but again, it depends

[vital tendon]

Sorry bud.

I tried Shuffle for the first time today, I got the 3060, but I don't what happened, everything was working, payment seemed to go through then I decided to go back to work, i kept looking at my phone for potential notifications in case something went wrong. It wasn't until i got home that I saw that the order was voided completely. I was real heartbroken, support said the bank denied it without any details as to why. So, it was quite sad to hear.

[late haven]

should i get a 1080 ti or a 2070

[halcyon plover]

2070

[keen nacelle]

Depends what you do and what you care about

Not including dlss and rt 1080ti=2070

[late haven]

fps and stuff

[keen nacelle]

2070 super* sorry

[late haven]

heard the 1080 ti had good value

[keen nacelle]

Honestly hard to decide, they'd probably trade blows including dlss

[halcyon plover]

Id depends on the price ofc but 2070 is better because dlss and rt

If you play games with dlss 2070 is way better

[sonic vigil]

Finally got my gfx installed properly and pc closed up! Posting to build pics

[thick cliff]

@late haven Also depends on if you use Windows or Linux. I am a Linux gamer, and the AMDGPU drivers on Linux are quite formidable when lined up next to nVidia's Windows drivers. Would you believe that the Radeon RX 5500XT on Linux can easily hold its own against the RTX 2060 on Windows?

[night elk]

What is the length of an rtx 3070 Ti?

[spare relic]

https://tenor.com/view/wide-stretching-arm-stretching-wide-arm-stretch-stretching-exercise-gif-13663110

[magic wing]

Depends

What model you getting

[night elk]

I'm mainly looking for an Nvidia 30 series graphics card that has a length of 9 inches or below

[green harness]

Manufacturers list the length of their cards so you can easily look them up

[night elk]

Ok thanks, I might as well go look for a graphics card and psu right now

[bleak ivy]

How much were 1080 ti's going for before the shortage?

[spare relic]

also, TechPowerUp lists most variants of a card and has many of those specs available at a fingers' reach

[halcyon plover]

9 inches is small

Like even duel fans models are longer

Mine is 32cm(12.6inches)

(Triple fan)

There is a 3060 single fan asus card that is 177mm (around 7 inches)

[night elk]

Welp, that limits a ton of stuff

[iron geyser]

Before I think they were about 350-400

[heady turtle]

Assuming same detail settings that's 2560x1440x75 =276,480,000 vs 1920x1080x144= 298,598,400 pixels per second so 1440p would be a bit easier on the gpu

[hot folio]

I love how I already know when my next monitor upgrade will be

[heady turtle]

Lol I'm happy with my 1080p 144hz tn panel lol

[magic wing]

Thats y u beat me in csgo

I have only 75hz panel

[heady turtle]

Yes that why mwahah

[magic wing]

I need new monitor

And gpu

monitor first

Imma get 24" 144hz

ips

beacuse tn bad

[heady turtle]

Uwu

[heady turtle]

Honestly i thought it was va till i looked it up the other day, don't see a big diff tbh

[magic wing]

[late haven]

why does the 3060 ti have less vram than the 3060?

[spare relic]

Because

[heady turtle]

Because Nvidia probs wanted to compete with amds numbers of ram because typically they have higher ram amounts on their cards, but the extra vram on the 3060 is pointless as the bus is slower than the rest (3060 ti and above)

[south walrus]

Because for the 3060ti to have more it would have had to be 16GB, and they didn't want that.

3060 has more vram then even the 3080

chip shortage also plays a part

[heady turtle]

3060 was released after the 3060 ti tho lol

That's the funny bit

[south walrus]

that's the point

chip shortage

either Nvidia couldn't get enough 8Gb chips for the 3060 or they didn't want it to have 6GB

[heady turtle]

But they had the 8gb in the 60 ti then was like 12gb 3060 yes kek

[south walrus]

well yeah that's why

[heady turtle]

Fair

[south walrus]

The 3060 uses 16Gb chips

[heady turtle]

I thought they usually used like 2gb chips

[south walrus]

no

if the 3060 used 2Gb chips it would have 1.5GB of vram

[heady turtle]

Huh?

I meant like multiple 2gb chips

[south walrus]

Yes

The 3060 has 6 chips

[heady turtle]

And why would it have 1.5gb of vram then

[south walrus]

6*2/8 = 1.5

[heady turtle]

Wait why divide by 8?

[south walrus]

divide by 8 when going from Gb to GB

memory chips are in Gb

[heady turtle]

Gigabyte vs gigabit?

[south walrus]

yes

[heady turtle]

Ahh

I didn't realize that nvm lol

[south walrus]

3060 is the only ampere gpu to use 16Gb memory chips

rest are 8Gb

[heady turtle]

I see

That makes sense lol

[south walrus]

lineup looks so stupid with the 3060 having 12GB

[heady turtle]

Yep and that smaller bus kinda ruins the point of having that much vram lol

[south walrus]

I do wonder if it was to avoid having 6GB or for the chip shortage

[heady turtle]

Yeah that's the only thing i can think of other than amd having bigger vram numbers and some ppl picking amd because bigger amount of vram if they don't know much bout pcs

[south walrus]

ampere doesn't have a big memory compression gain

so the vram thing on amd is a real benefit

I like to have cards that are solid in 5~6 years

[heady turtle]

Ohh ik it's a big benefit yeah but the kinda thing like where a lower quality amd card that's cheaper had same vram as higher end Nvidia so they might pick the amd card

[heady turtle]

Also same but that's not too hard as i play more esport/multi player fps stuff

[late haven]

why is the 5700 xt more expensive than the 6700 xt on ebay?

[torn yarrow]

Is the r9 fury better than the rx 570?

[vital oriole]

just greed lmao

[vital oriole]

yes, but you'd need a good psu to back it up lol

it's about a 580 in perf

[torn yarrow]

i got a 650 watt

[heady turtle]

That plenty then ye

[vital oriole]

that's good enough

200-250w is what the card runs at

[torn yarrow]

Could it run rust?

at 1080p

[vital oriole]

i think so

altho expect it to be like low or med

[torn yarrow]

yeah i usually play on low/med

could i possibly get over 100 fps in cod modern warfare

on low

[vital oriole]

i think yes

[torn yarrow]

ok

but should i spend 230 on it

[vital oriole]

that's not bad in 2021

so i think it's worth it

[torn yarrow]

is the ptp good

[vital oriole]

wish it's lower but least you get like gtx 980 or so perf

[torn yarrow]

im only getting it because my rx 570

broke

[vital oriole]

eh it's an upgrade at least

[torn yarrow]

yeah

i was looking at a 1660 super but couldnt find anything

for a good price

[twin niche]

Try OfferUp/LetGo if you’re in the US

I found a 1660 Super brand new in box at cost

[torn yarrow]

how much was it

[twin niche]

Paid $400 cash

EVGA SC Ultra

Nice card

[torn yarrow]

ive looked on offerup

[twin niche]

I say keep tryin. Prices are going down

The people still listing 3060s at $1200 are morons and will never sell them

[torn yarrow]

ik yhsy

that

but i dont think they will go down to msrp anythime soon

[twin niche]

You might find a gamer like I did. Cool guy who had some cards he got online and sold at cost

Gamers look out for gamers

[torn yarrow]

i mean i just dont wanna get scammed

especially on offer up

[twin niche]

I feel that. I look for people with all positive reviews and look at what they’ve recently sold. The card was BNIB but I cracked it open while I was there

Totally legit

[torn yarrow]

yeah i found a 1660 super for like 122 or something and the dude didn't have any reviews and he joined this month.

and i just dont trust that

also some are selling for 200

[twin niche]

Gotta use your best judgement

[torn yarrow]

yeah true

but i just feel like ebay is safer

[twin niche]

Nothing wrong trying eBay. But I would guess you’ll pay more

[torn yarrow]

im trying to pay 230 for a r9 fury

[twin niche]

Now that I’ve got my 1660S I’m gonna throw my old card up on eBay. Hopin to get like $150 for it

Seems to be the going rate for it these days

[torn yarrow]

what card is it

[twin niche]

GTX 770 4GB

[torn yarrow]

oh

[twin niche]

It’s oooooold

But still works great

Plays league 120fps on 1440p on all high settings etc

Probably other games people care about

[torn yarrow]

yeah

[twin niche]

You’ll find a card you’re happy with just be patient. Don’t pay scalper prices.

[torn yarrow]

trust me im not

but i might just settle with the r9 fury

[rustic pulsar]

enter shuffle, i won 3 times in 1 month

[hot folio]

I’ve won twice since the shuffle first was a thing

[split parrot]

i just won the shuffle for an aorus 3070TI and GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS PRO AX ATX Intel mb

what to do

solid combo

[magic wing]

buy it

[halcyon plover]

Depends on the price

Aours cards can be a rip off

[split parrot]

ya i'm thinking about it

[halcyon plover]

What is the price

[split parrot]

there's a two hour window my treatment is going to take another couple of hours so not sure i can make it home

1200

[halcyon plover]

For the mb too?

[split parrot]

yes

[halcyon plover]

Hmm not too bad I guess but not too great either

[coarse flume]

yeah I was starting to lose faith in the shuffle.

but I actually won for once so.

[split parrot]

hehe

[coarse flume]

right before you lose your faith you'll win. I actually was going for the ps5 this time.

[fluid wedge]

Is a strix 3080 at $830 fishy? Or am I the only one

[split parrot]

fishy

[fluid wedge]

On offer up

[coarse flume]

that's def low in the current environment

[fluid wedge]

Figured it was fishy, just needed other opinions

[halcyon plover]

Msrp is 1100 i think

[heady turtle]

830 is pre tarrif msrp for strix

[heady turtle]

Very fishy, unless someone was being nice as they got a 3080 ti or 3090 or something and was using the 80 to hold them over

[fluid wedge]

Nah I looked more into it, there's a bunch of offers from similar profiles and similar products all from the same area

Its fake 🥲

[hollow raptor]

Bbuy drop wasn’t today huh

Or did i miss it

[heady turtle]

Possibly not, best buy isn't a certain time every x weeks as it was before

[hollow raptor]

Oh wow are you serious dang it how else should i try to get my card then 😭

[heady turtle]

They still drop but not as consistent afaik, newegg shuffle or micro center if you live near one

[torn yarrow]

i got it

[heady turtle]

Nice

[hot folio]

Nice

[torn yarrow]

my bank tho:(

[hot folio]

$220 ain’t bad lol

[heady turtle]

Well for some ppl it is lol

[hot folio]

True

[torn yarrow]

i mean i basically got the money for free so

i basically payed 55 for it

[hot folio]

That’s nice

Thoughts on the GIGABYTE Eagle GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS Ultra combo?

[prime dagger]

Can anyone tell me if a rtx 2070 can support Toontown ?

[heady turtle]

it should

[lone pond]

Z590 ultra is nice mobo for high intel system but don't know 3080ti price 🤔

[rich wraith]

Ah yes, a 2000$ gpu with a $180 motherboard

[split parrot]

Lol

[heady turtle]

180$ motherboards generally are the sweet spot

[lone pond]

yeah untill if you building highend system

[split parrot]

The aorus ultra is a good mb

[clever pagoda]

2.3k for a graphics card

4000 series is gonna be like 5k for a 4090

1k for 4050ti

[heady turtle]

Nope 180 -220 is where i would go for a high end system

[lone pond]

umm yeah I having 200$ mobo with 10700k but some people buying 400-600$ mobo for 10900k or something 🤔

[heady turtle]

cuz they being stupid ln2 oc boards for a daily build lol

[lone pond]

lol yeah I think I'll need big upgrade for that 3090 lol

definitely better psu , and probably better cpu and mobo too lol

[heady turtle]

What your specs atm?

[lone pond]

10700K with z490 mobo and 32gb of ram , 3070vision which is going to replace and 750w psu

definitely needs 850w or higher psu

[heady turtle]

I would just keep the cpu, then upgrade at 12th gen or ryzen 6000

[heady turtle]

I would just go rmx 1000w

[lone pond]

I dont like amd but I yeah 10700k can still be ok for awhile till i upgrade

10700k is hella good for my work on cad systems but it probably will bottleneck to 3090 on games

[heady turtle]

Ehh this depends on the game tbh

[keen nacelle]

Is Passmore reliable for gpu/cpu testing?

Passmore? Thanks auto correct

Passmark

[lone pond]

planning some fb42 when it coming out lol

on 2k

[heady turtle]

Fb42?

[lone pond]

lol i mean bf

[heady turtle]

Oh nice

I have no idea if that's cpu or gpu bound tbh

[heady turtle]

Passmark generally is ye

[keen nacelle]

Ty

I took my conflicting ram out bc im stupid and didn't know dies differed

My cpu is basically average and my gpu is a good bit above average

20474 on it, average is 19760

Before it was on par with a 7700k bc of the ram

[lone pond]

Its both lol . BF is giving heavy work to cpu with its destroyable map lol

And it will be 64x64 match so it probably will be so heavy for cpu

[dusky locust]

what's a good gpu to pair with a 5600x

[cerulean rover]

the highest end gpu you can afford

[keen nacelle]

So I've been wondering just bc curious

Would there be any point to running a 3090 on 1080p for the future? As in so that when games advance 5 years you'd still be more than fine?

[cerulean rover]

There is no point talking about it today, because who knows how game graphics advance in the future imo

[keen nacelle]

Bc honestly 4k is unappealing to me, not that I'd get a 3090 lol

The day I get a 3090 is the day I win the lottery

[cerulean rover]

we don't really know how it'll work in the future

afterall, it's the future

[keen nacelle]

True

Well

There is back to the future

TØAST#9241 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vital oriole]

i wanna try undervolting my gpu, but

the voltage curve is confusing in afterburner for me

[heady turtle]

It is a bit confusing at start, but you want to apply your oc(if any) then open up hwinfo and timespy do a run to see what voltage your card has at max then open up the graph, shift click drag to the right then drag the rest of the curve under the non selected bit, then hit apply and it should flatten out at that frequency after x voltage

I can do a little vid demo if needed

[vital oriole]

im not ocing lel

[dreamy dragon]

RiouGenkaku#0080 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vital oriole]

just wanting to uv its core to make it consume less

cause mining

[heady turtle]

Ahh fair

Then yeah same thing ish but i suppose just see when you loose hashrate, but for my card anyway i could just drag the power down to like 45% and core down all the way and that worked

But @vital oriole just mine instead of using timespy then if it's for mining

[vital oriole]

mhm

i currently use nicehash tdp profile thing

got it as low as i can without uv

with my settings alone it does 80w

then my settings+nicehash low tdp mode it's at 76-78

i can't go lower than 65% or so power limit else i lose hashrate

[heady turtle]

Ahh, i use the regular nicehash not the quickminer but sameish thing

You're mining eth i assume

[vital oriole]

i use same nicehash miner too

yep

nicehash has tdp mode toggle on web control

[heady turtle]

Ahh okay i didn't realise the regular miner had that option too

Ahh

[vital oriole]

but you have to reapply it every time you boot up

kinda annoying but works lmao

[heady turtle]

Oof

[vital oriole]

as for hashrate, i get 30-31.9 mh/s

[heady turtle]

What card?

[vital oriole]

1660s

i can push for 32 but it's unstable

gets rejects often

[heady turtle]

Ahh fair

[vital oriole]

others have had better luck

then again they have better cards

my card has no vram cooling lmao

it's a puny asus phoenix

[heady turtle]

Wack a p12 on the back X)

[vital oriole]

it does fine tbh

just a lil more hash ain't that worth it for me anyway

[heady turtle]

I just realized it's a 1 fan card

[vital oriole]

gpu itself only maxes at 76c

[heady turtle]

Yikes

[vital oriole]

at hot days

[heady turtle]

Gpu core?

[vital oriole]

yah

[heady turtle]

Yikes

[vital oriole]

well not too bad lol

[heady turtle]

Mem must be on fire

[vital oriole]

when i have ac on or it's cold, it drops to 70

nah it's only gddr6

not that bad

6x i would worry

besides i have the gpu fan turned up quite high

65%

ramps to over 70 before it reaches 80

so it keeps itself cool without much fuss

and i have chassis fan quite high too, it catches dust quite quick

[heady turtle]

G6 still gets quite hot tbh, especially if core is that hot, my hotspot temp on 3070 is like mid 60s iirc when my core is like 35-40c

And that's not even mem temp

I assume it's another 20c or so

[vital oriole]

well it ain't that bad for what i have rn

g6 can handle some heat

it makes me a bit nervous but it won't die

[heady turtle]

Fair, i would just use a flat 80% on that card tho

[vital oriole]

it's just a bit too loud for me to sleep lmao

so I keep the fan a bit low

i don't have any places to put my rig in other than my room

next month ill clean the gpu, maybe

but temp hasn't risen at all, so it's not dirty yet, hmm

[heady turtle]

Well during the day anyway consider 80-90%, and then down a bit when sleeping mb

[vital oriole]

i suppose that works too

but im kinda lazy sometimes kek

[heady turtle]

Lol

I personally don’t like the eagle series of GPUs

I found that the thermals really weren’t that good

Compared to other AIBs

[magic wing]

A few thermal pads fix it right up

[vital oriole]

talking about thermal pads

i might add em to my card

max cooling for the vram

[hot folio]

Yeah gigabyte isn’t really known for their thermal pads

[clever pagoda]

It's still pretty ridiculous to pair it with a 300$ motherboard bc it was gonna be less than 1k without it

does the 3080 have a vbios or smthn?

[heady turtle]

All graphics cards have vbios's, so yes :)

[late haven]

shoot i messed up, i meant like a kingpin variant

nvm

[heady turtle]

There is no kingpin 3080

Just 3090

[cerulean rover]

Iirc one of the EVGA ones has a really high PL

@late haven but you can look around that vbios database

[heady turtle]

Strix is highest afaik, but when flashing vbios, make sure the amount of power pins on the gpu bios you wanna flash is the same otherwise you will actually decrease your power draw

And you can possibly loose ports

[cerulean rover]

Most common thing is losing output ports

[heady turtle]

But if you have a 8+8 pin 3080 don't flash a 8+8+6/8 pin basically

Some dude near me is literally selling a 3080 shuffle deal on Craigslist 😂😂😂

[twin niche]

Yeah that’s gonna happen

[lunar loom]

so costco has a deal on 27" wqhd monitors, I was thinking of picking up two. would my current r9 390 be able to run them?

I would assume as they are only 1440p but this graphics card has been less then reliable on meeting expectations

[heady turtle]

1080p yeah if it's the 4gb version and not 2gb but 27" 1080p is iffy

[lunar loom]

its an 8gb but doesnt run like it

XFX R9 390x

[heady turtle]

Ohh i read 380
