*For a driver

[solemn panther]

Seriously stop. Thx

[bleak ivy]

ok dad

[nova marlin]

No stays under 70 in normal games, except for apex it goes to 83

[rustic pulsar]

and gpu

[pastel schooner]

Intel core 2 duo, E7400, 2.8ghz

[nova marlin]

RX 480 4gb

[rustic pulsar]

83 is a bit high, up the fans curve a bit

[nova marlin]

Only with apex as i sard

[heady turtle]

Make your fan curve more aggressive

[nova marlin]

I don't even know how to xD

Yes

[rustic pulsar]

yeah what pato said, only get real worried when it gets to like 89 C

[nova marlin]

But my bios is so fricking outdated

Yes

[heady turtle]

MSI afterbruner change the fan curve

[nova marlin]

Not everyone is able tp

Okay thanks

[heady turtle]

Your motherboard do you have cryze?

[nova marlin]

wdym

[heady turtle]

What motherboard do you have? You said your bios was old

[nova marlin]

H81MHV3

My case has bad airflow tho

That's why I'm asking.

Yeah but I'm gonna upgrade my whole pc except for gpu in a month or 2

So ye

Because I have no upgradability

I have this pc since like 2017

I'ma buy a 4000d airflow

Air cooling

ye

Aight bett, thanks man!

Alright 😄

[heady turtle]

@nova marlin do that and make sure auto is clicked

[nova marlin]

i have a different layout

[heady turtle]

Ohh you got the icky theme

Whatever same thing different makeover

You can change in setting

[nova marlin]

Okay thanks Pato!

[heady turtle]

Np

[nova marlin]

So 80% is good? I always have it at 25

[heady turtle]

Nanana that's just cuz I'm mining atm

[nova marlin]

Ohh

[nova marlin]

what'll be good for me?

[heady turtle]

try something like that

[nova marlin]

thanks

[heady turtle]

Np

[blissful sequoia]

idk why my gpu will sometimes go under 80% utilization and make me drop fps when im on 1440p rtx minecraft

[heady turtle]

Cuz Minecraft cpu bound

[rustic pulsar]

Why is my cpu and gpu at less then 90% usage and not throttling, but my fps is less then my monitor refresh rate?

[heady turtle]

Depends on game, how your measuring cpu usage ram etc

[rustic pulsar]

just in general, using msi afterburner

[heady turtle]

Yeah but are you looking at 1 core or all the cores

[rustic pulsar]

i dont know, i think just "cpu usage"

aren't most haves single core? so one core may be at full usage right?

[heady turtle]

Just select all 8 cores separate then read the usage and will depend on the game etc

[rustic pulsar]

ok, i think my third core (cpu 2) is stongest

as thats the one that goes to full when i run biostats stuff

[heady turtle]

Biostats?

[rustic pulsar]

yeah im doing some genetic work

[heady turtle]

Ahh doesn't mean it's the strongest core probs just choose it as it was available

[rustic pulsar]

all cores are at around 5-10% when idle

[heady turtle]

Well that's idle lol

[rustic pulsar]

ill look later, not at my pc now

but it's consistently core 3

[blissful sequoia]

not even a 5600x with po can handle mc?

[heady turtle]

Yes it can handle but it's still heavily cpu bound

[blissful sequoia]

Ah

oki thx

[normal hawk]

Do you have Optifine? @blissful sequoia

If you don't have Optifine installed you'll be only running on a single core. So I'd suggest it if you get any mods.

Assuming you're on Java of course

[blissful sequoia]

bedrock doesnt have optifine

I also play a modpack which doesnt work well with optifine so modded mc doesnt have shaders hence i dont have an fps drop issue. only when I increase chunks over 14

[bleak ivy]

ew bedrock. False advertisement. You can't break bedrock but the edition breaks by just playing it

[heady turtle]

Mc bedrock icky tho

Java superior

[vital pivot]

So boys.

[vital pivot]

[vital pivot]

I will be swapping out the evga fans for another set of al120

Errr. Yeah I have to think about that

[blissful sequoia]

friends r on console kek

[pallid coyote]

I have less than a handful of friends and the wife that plays console left. Trying to convert them over but they don't want to give up the console for some reason. Just not into PC, I guess

[blissful sequoia]

I hope you either bought at msrp or have enough money to buy overpriced. Looks S I C K

[normal hawk]

Don't be the kind of person to force them onto PC 🤷‍♂️ some people like console and that's fine

[pallid coyote]

Definitely looks good and I do hope you paid MSRP or close to it

[blissful sequoia]

mines just weird, wont even buy ps5 even tho they complain about games running on 40-50 fps and lagging xD

[vital pivot]

All was at MSRP or below

[pallid coyote]

I'm not one of those, I just talk to them, not putting a gun to their head or anything.

[vital pivot]

I converted 3 console plebs last year

[pallid coyote]

I'm looking to get a Series X for the wife but not paying for the scalper price so I'm taking my time. Hopefully, I can find one before our anniversary this September.

[blissful sequoia]

I have a 2080s just sitting around catching dust but thats too much of a gift.

[pallid coyote]

I converted two, built gaming PCs for both of them as well.

[vital pivot]

Haha. Same

Just the 3rd did his own

[normal hawk]

I got an XSS for RetroArch in the living room.

[pallid coyote]

I tried playing COD on controller last week, I can feel the latency on the controller after playing <1ms latency keyboard and mouse for so long

[pallid coyote]

Nice.

[vital pivot]

One was my ups driver and the other his cousin who came over with him for the build

[normal hawk]

For 300$ it's perfect for it. 🤷‍♂️

[pallid coyote]

Don't get me wrong, I still love consoles and will get a new one in the future but it's not my priority aside from getting one for the wife.

[normal hawk]

My brother is using it until I get home for Ark on Xbox.

[pallid coyote]

Can't go wrong with that. Not bad for 300

[normal hawk]

Cause loading is faster than the one x which is what he was on prior.

He has a PC. His friends play ark on Xbox though. He hosts from his PC then they all load in on xbox's

[pallid coyote]

That's interesting, use a PC to host then get on console to play the game.

[normal hawk]

Ark and Minecraft are the only ones you can do that on i think. Maybe SE as well if they added Crossplay. Although on Minecraft you'd still be loaded in

@blissful sequoia

[vital pivot]

When I finish. I will be posting here. Then I’m builds

[limpid leaf]

I converted 2 console plebeians this year as well. Great success! Nice build btw

[distant bramble]

I've worked from home for years so I used to be able to claim a portion of my electricity and internet as work related expenses but they changed how the tax credit worked for that so now even if I claim it I don't really get anything extra taken off.

I would have to itemize if I recall correctly and the standard deduction gave me the least amount of taxes because I don't have enough junk to itemize.

[keen nacelle]

I said it's smart lol

Oh

@sterile parcel how’s the pc

Which ups did you purchase.

It will do the job.

Make sure to install the drivers and plug in the usb cable

Honestly. I would yank the power cable to see how long it runs with your system

No

As long as windows detects or

It

Haven’t touched it since last night

Adult things get in the way.

[heady turtle]

Why does ups need to be plugging into usb port?

[vital pivot]

The ups will tell the pc that the power is out and tell it to shut down

[heady turtle]

Ohh cool

[vital pivot]

My pc will run for 15 mins then go thru the shutdown cycle

Well. I mean my old one.

[heady turtle]

Nice

[vital pivot]

I don’t know about the new system

[heady turtle]

Tbf you can def still have it, my mom just got finished isolating cuz she got it(fully pfizer vaccinated, 2 months after 2nd dose) and got tested cuz was about to go away and had an extremely mild cough but noone else in fam had it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah mine hardly does either lol

[vital pivot]

It’s insane. Everything they said about the virus has been one way or the other. It changes almost daily.

[heady turtle]

My mom legit has no idea where she got it

[vital pivot]

What test did they use to test for the delta.

[heady turtle]

Yeah i was wondering the same

[vital oriole]

standard procedures i'd assume

the throat swap thing

swab*

it's the most accurate way for testing

there's also antigen test kits, but they're like 96% accurate

[green harness]

Well facts on the ground keep changing

[vital pivot]

Btw. There isn’t a test that says what variant they have.

[green harness]

Delta is much more transmissible and is more likely to be transmitted by vaccinated people than other variants I think

[vital oriole]

they just look at the virus itself in the test they got

afaik

[heady turtle]

Ohh yeah my mom also got negative on an antigen test but still got positive regular test

[vital pivot]

The test only have positive or negative

[vital oriole]

how'd they know then?

[heady turtle]

Antigen has negative positive and unsure

[vital oriole]

if they didn't look at the virus itself

in my country tests takes a few days to process

so im sure they take that time lookin at the sample

[heady turtle]

My test took like ehhh 30 hours

[vital oriole]

it could be a day at best

[heady turtle]

Yikes your poor nose

[vital oriole]

ive never had to test for covid

never had symptoms or anything

[heady turtle]

Wait what, we have to do mouth and nose

[vital oriole]

i keep myself super safe

tho there was super risky moment i went thru

i was so worried

but it's been a month later now, i haven't died yet

or got sick

[heady turtle]

Not fun, mouth bit is fine, nose bit is bad, you can feel it in the back of your throat and your nose feels violated

Not a thing here :/

[vital oriole]

tfw #graphics-cards became #covid

[heady turtle]

Lol

[vital oriole]

lmao true

but my dad sure had been tested so often

he takes flights from his job and back home

he told me it's painful, but he got used to it

[heady turtle]

In my experience extremely unpleasant but no pain, you gotta blow your nose after it tho

[vital oriole]

he never caught covid

but instead got cancer, eef

it's early stage, not too alarmed

[heady turtle]

Fair play

[vital oriole]

eh anyway gpu talk

anyone can get more info in dm if they want lol

6600xt is kinda meh tbh

a bit better than 3060 while costing more in msrp vs msrp

amd is reversing roles

besides 3060 has 12 gigs of vram

[heady turtle]

Yeah well msrp myth so

[vital oriole]

msrp is a pipe dream

[hot folio]

Replace those pads immediately I have that exact same pair and the pads went out within a month

Oh wow I guess Bose fixed that problem

I got them 3-4 years ago

Nice, love it

[pallid coyote]

[keen nacelle]

Zotac is already scalping tho

[heady turtle]

[keen nacelle]

Fair enough

[pallid coyote]

New Egg Shuffle have scalping prices at times as well. Just have to be proactive with them is all

[lone pond]

lmaoo yeah

[hot folio]

Out of curiosity shouldn’t the tube on the GPU’s rad be above the pump?

[vital pivot]

As long as the pump is not above the rad it is ok

Crap wrong pic

That’s better

The temp of the GPu was 28.4c

[brisk flame]

damn bruh

tbh that ram kills the whole vibe of the system, and it has nothing to do with the fact that is isnt evga

well, just turn the color to match the cpu block and gpu really

then its pog

[vital pivot]

I watched this guy run testing on the kingpin. He was astounded how cool it ran

I was going to wall mount it but it is way to heavy

[brisk flame]

yeah lmao, you would need to screw it into some studs

looks like scam

nvm

They're legit

Also it's not "in-stock"

But backorder, so you wait lmao

[fossil talon]

CDW is legit

Professionals/Educator use their services

Pretty much the #1 source for workstation GPUs

[fossil talon]

Backorders will take time, CDW is slow for gaming GPUs

Or more

They're still fulfilling BOs since February

Thanks so much for all the help that several of you gave me last week. I was looking for an inexpensive graphics card to solve the issue of not filling the entire screen of my new monitor. The concensus was to purchase an Asus PH-GT1030-02G. Someone also found it on BH photo for $94. It came in stock a few days later at that price. Just finished installing it and it resolved my issue perfectly. Thank you gentlemen.

How many monitors can the radeon pro wx 3100 support?

Oh wait

That gpu is disabled, my moms work laptop has it and I'm tryna plug in her third monitor (2 monitors and laptop)

But it seems the wx graphics are disabled and uhd 630 are enabled

620 actually

[vital pivot]

You can force it to use the Radeon card

[keen nacelle]

How so?

Without having to go around Verizon protections?

Wtf

It randomly started working to all 3 monitors

I did nothing and it randomly worked

After 5min of not turning on

Still couldn't hurt to enable to wx graphics tho, could it?

[vital pivot]

Yeah. Well. Possibly

How to buy a graphics card in 2021

Don't waste your time looking at one specific model of a card unless you really want a certain model for looks etc (as cards are already inflated prices) - buy the cheapest model of the graphics card you can
Prebuilts can be a great option at the right price and don't usually require hunting down If you live in the US : Best Buy drops - every few weeks, only in person drops now -this is your only chance to get a founders edition card Newegg Shuffle - this is a lottery type system that is completely random that happens most weekdays, you can choose as many products as you like -does effect any of your chances to get the other items EVGA - Evga have drops through their queue system -no regular schedule Zotac - Zotac have a drop system just like best buy - no regular schedule AMD.com - AMD have a drop system, every Thursday between 9am to 12pm US Central Time Micro Center - If you are lucky enough to live near one, ask them when they restock and try get there early in the morning ABS prebuilts- ABS make good quality prebuilts for decent prices and use off the shelf parts

Best Buy drops -every few weeks for about an hour after the start time -this is your only chance to get a founders edition card
AMD.com - AMD have a drop system also, every Thursday between 9am to 12pm US Central Time```   
```If you live in the UK:
Stock Informer UK - your friend for when things restock
Currys/PC World -Drops - no regular schedule
Ebuyer - Random drops - no regular schedule
Scan - Random drops - no regular schedule
AMD.com - AMD have a drop system also, every Thursday between 2pm to 5pm GMT``` *Tag/DM me to add anything i missed*

[feral thistle]

okay

[heady turtle]

lol

[keen nacelle]

Yeah fair enough, but the fact that it randomly worked after a while makes me weary of it stopping working

So I might have to enable it later on

Ty for the link

[heady turtle]

@vital pivot i spat it out 😛

[vital pivot]

I see that

Anyone see how a dude and his kid in Florida found the loophole in the Newegg app to order cards.

[heady turtle]

Yes it was pretty funny

[vital pivot]

So. A dude figured out how to order standalone graphic cards via the system builder

[heady turtle]

it was through the eniac thing in the app it would let you add to cart lol

[vital pivot]

Yup.

[livid idol]

Yes, it's a good thing newegg stopped those orders, God forbid people that want GPUs be able to buy them without going through the lottery and/or being in a bundle of garbage.

[candid veldt]

Hi All, looking for some help as i could not find anything on google. i have a MSI RADEON RX 6800 GAMING X TRIO. is there any waterblocks that would fit this card?

[heady turtle]

Try ekwb

[candid veldt]

Thanks Pato, i;ve looked at EKWB and Corsair, they state it supports MSI RX 6800 however didnt mention gaming x trio and when i contact their customer service they said none of their waterblocks support my GPU.

[heady turtle]

Ahhh okay

I wonder what model they do support then?

That's a very nice air cooler tho

[candid veldt]

closest GPU they support is: MSI Radeon RX 6800 16GB

i assume they support reference cards but im not 100% sure if mine is a reference card

[heady turtle]

Ohh it's just the reference boards

1 sec lemme see

[candid veldt]

i looked on GURU3D at my card's PCB and it does look very similar to reference boards i just dont want to risk stuck with a waterblock that i cant return

[cosmic bluff]

So i noticed my card states 24gb of vram but i have 25 is that from the oc version of the 3090 i have?

[heady turtle]

I can't see any that support the gaming x trio sorry

[heady turtle]

Ehh where are you reading 25 lol

[candid veldt]

thanks for your help anyway 🙂

[cosmic bluff]

In everygame i played it shows the 25gb

[livid idol]

24gb = 24576mb, is that what you're looking at?

[cosmic bluff]

No it has been saying like 24980mb

I assume extra was being used by the system itself

[livid idol]

That's more like 24.5, sounds like another case of direct x misreporting and including some system memory

[heady turtle]

Game probs reading it wrong, all ram amounts is the same per tier of the card, all 3090s have 24gb, all 3070s have 8 etc

[cosmic bluff]

Oh ok

I thought mine was just being extra

[livid idol]

Not like having extra would actually be any benefit at all anyway, 24gb is way more than you need for gaming, even at 8k

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah ik i just was shook at it like my quest 2 running max res at 120hz is buttery smooth

Even tho my monitor is a 1080p tv with 100hz

[kindred trench]

What do you mean

‘But that’s a minor anything you can find’

[green harness]

GPU availability is really low

With $1,000 you'd be looking for a 3080 ideally I think, but a 3070, 3070Ti, 6800, 6800xt, or 6900x could also all work (getting any of the AMD 6000 series in that price range is rare though)

[kindred trench]

Is a 3080 good to run for a i9?

[vital oriole]

ye

[kindred trench]

I’m all new to this..

Shortage doesn’t help my noobie ness either

Is the build a good build or should I replace something?

[potent oracle]

hey all! so lately my 3070 has been underperforming! I see streamers with a 2080 get 300+ fps while mine gets at best 180... i updated my bios, graphics drivers and same issue.. idk what to do

[feral thistle]

@potent oracle get good

[potent oracle]

?

[keen nacelle]

What game?

Also what processor do you have?

Yeah good point, they could be turning down settings to get higher fps

If its COD and you're doing ultra settings thats pretty normal, basically any demanding game that's pretty average

Why?

I'd rather have ultra 1080p than high 1440p

Not really

Idk what games you're playing

I went from a gt 1030 to a 3060 ti, low settings bo3 looks awful, ultra is pretty decent

Using bo3 since it was the game I played the most on my old pc

Also fortnite since I played that a couple times, shapes are so blurry and misshapen on low

I only played it for zombies

Same with cold war

Multi-player is impossible to have fun anymore

Corner camping kids with broken guns is all it is anymore

With a card like a 3070, no reason to turn down settings

I get at the very minimum 120fps on warzone at ultra settings

Albeit without raytracing

Mostly around 170fps

[fossil talon]

I love playing Ultra lol

Paid alot, I wanna get the most out of it

[timid narwhal]

This. all of this!

I didnt go from a 1660ti to a 3070 to NOT PUT ALL THE NOBS TO 11!

[fossil talon]

Reeeeeeeeee

[keen nacelle]

I got my pc for the sole reason of cold war, and that started a pc obsession lmao. Don't play cold war much anymore but I like being able to play whatever I want at a bearable frame rate

And actually knowing about pcs

[normal hawk]

Ew cold war

[keen nacelle]

Yep

That's about right

My friend convinced me to buy it

Zombies is decent

Bo3 is still better bc of steam workshop tho

[magic wing]

eww blizzard

[normal hawk]

Infinite warfare is the best cod. Hot zake

[keen nacelle]

I refuse to listen to bo3 zombies slander

[keen nacelle]

[magic wing]

yes it was just that forgettable

[potent oracle]

valorant and i have amd ryzen 7 3800x

[keen nacelle]

Fair enough

[keen nacelle]

Only 180? Do you have a frame rate cap set?

[potent oracle]

i have no idea dude im a pc noob xD

[magic wing]

How many ram sticks do u see in the pc?

[keen nacelle]

You'll have to check video settings on valorant

[magic wing]

@potent oracle

[keen nacelle]

Let him check frame rate cap first

[magic wing]

nah

[keen nacelle]

Most likely culprit

Valorant auto sets a frame rate cap of 180

So it'd make sense

[magic wing]

ahh

[fossil talon]

MW2 and BO2 superior

[keen nacelle]

Ram won't affect frame rate that much anyways, unless it's a single stick of 2133 or smthn and even then

Doubtfull

[magic wing]

HOW DARE YOU FORGET CALL OF DUTY GHOSTS

[fossil talon]

OMFG SO SORRY

[keen nacelle]

Guys, guys

[fossil talon]

Totally forgot

[keen nacelle]

obviously 2019 modern warfare is the best

[magic wing]

single channel-> double channel is like 20% perf in games

[keen nacelle]

What with the broken guns and glitches and everything

[fossil talon]

Well tbh I thought Ghost was trash, my friends liked it though

[magic wing]

forgor

[magic wing]

blocked

[fossil talon]

Bruhhhhhhhhhh

[keen nacelle]

Yeah but it won't made 120fps difference from a 2080 to a 3070

[normal hawk]

Infinite warfare had gesture warfare so your opinion is invalid

[magic wing]

ehhh

[potent oracle]

i have two

[keen nacelle]

As in 2080 performing better

[magic wing]

oof

[keen nacelle]

Yeah

[fossil talon]

We can all agree though COD > Battlefield

[keen nacelle]

Check video settings on valorant

It'll say something like frame rate limit, I don't feel like launching it rn

[normal hawk]

Depends on the battlefield

[magic wing]

yes

all the non blizzard cod games anyway

[keen nacelle]

We can also agree Activision can't make a single balanced gun anymore

[normal hawk]

None of them were made by blizzard

[fossil talon]

Meanwhile Rockstar still hanging on to GTA V.....

[magic wing]

Machine pistol go brrrr

[keen nacelle]

Leakers say gta6 is 2025

Oh god comp

I've played 3 games of it ever

In 4 months of playing

[keen nacelle]

I dont even play modern warfare, never have

That just shows how bad it is

Oml what

You're not like us OGs then

[keen nacelle]

I didn't have a pc that could runnit till January

[keen nacelle]

I got bo4 in 2019, Jesus it was awful. Zombies and all

Played it all of 2 times

Gt 1030 not so for the win

[normal hawk]

The game did not run well on PC at all

[magic wing]

RX570 master race

[normal hawk]

Hated PC testing

[fossil talon]

RX 570 is one of longest lasting valued cards

[normal hawk]

Mw2019 was a better PC experience testing wise and it was still bad

[fossil talon]

[magic wing]

I have the 15th best RX570 ever made as well

[normal hawk]

Minspec testing 🤮

[keen nacelle]

I'll give you $2.47 and a paper clip

I'll do one better, $4.20 and a rainbow paperclip

[keen nacelle]

Oh damn

[normal hawk]

I7 970 and a HD 7950 🤮 not even 30fps at 720p

[keen nacelle]

Wait

[magic wing]

" next to it

[normal hawk]

Oh no

[keen nacelle]

There we go

Missed the edit three times lmao

I hate typing on phone

With a passion

[normal hawk]

Our minspecs tests were "yep it's garbage" we'd tell the devs and then they'd be like "as intended"

[keen nacelle]

Sounds about right

"An intentional game design"

When a helicopter flies through the ground "yep intentional game design"

[normal hawk]

We got that a lot

[keen nacelle]

Jesus that glitch was fun

[normal hawk]

"as intended"

[keen nacelle]

Fun as in fml

[fossil talon]

Perfectly working

[keen nacelle]

Exactly

[normal hawk]

Should have seen some of the things I've bugged in warzone 😬 was a rough development cycle

[keen nacelle]

So you work for Activision?

[normal hawk]

I saved the game from being CSGO 2.0 before release

[keen nacelle]

Or as a general game tester

?

[normal hawk]

In my civilian career i did QA for Activision at QAMN in Minnesota

I deployed so I'm not currently employed there

[fossil talon]

Civilian career ooh, what side of military are you in

[keen nacelle]

I'm thinking about being a doctor in the military

I want to be a PA but God is it expensive

[normal hawk]

Army reserves

[keen nacelle]

I also have some political views about what the military is used for that I won't say

[fossil talon]

Ah ok

[normal hawk]

I'm not reenlisting. They messed up my hands

[normal hawk]

Same

I might move to Washington and pursue a job at 343. But they only do halo which would get a bit tedious i feel

[normal hawk]

Anyone feel like the release of the 3080 ti and 3070 ti just made the other cards increase in price?

Like the 3090 and 3080 in particular

Especially in terms of prebuilts

Prebuilts with 3080's and 3090's increased by like, 200-500$

[keen nacelle]

Eh, I haven't been paying much attention to pre builts lately

But card prices are definitely on the decline

3070s going for sub 1000$ on reddit

3060 tis around 850

3080s around 1300-1500 (depends on lhr or not)

[keen nacelle]

Unsure how much truth there is to this

Yup.

[red elm]

so i was finally able to get an order for a graphics card, it ended up being the most expensive of the 3070 ti's

now i'm not sure if i should cancel and keep trying for a 3080

[lone pond]

What's the price?

of the 3070ti

[red elm]

1000

its the msi gaming trio

[lone pond]

Hmm

I mean you could keep trying for 3080

3070ti should be fine though

1440p gaming

[red elm]

oh definitely

it's more than good for what i need it for

i just feel like the entire time i use it, that "ripped off" feeling will always be in the back of my mind

[lone pond]

Then return it and try 3080 😆

It's ultimately up to you

[heady turtle]

Sensive

[hot folio]

Lmao the ripped off feeling was always there when I bought a 6700xt for $900

[lone pond]

Sheesh bruh

[hot folio]

Ended up returning it and then buying a 6800xt for 1.4K 2 months later

[lone pond]

LMAO

[red elm]

oh damn

[hot folio]

Easily best purchase of my pc career tho

Love this GPU

[pallid coyote]

Oof

[pallid coyote]

Double oof

[hot folio]

I bought the warranty so I can get a “free” upgrade once Nvidia 40 series or AMD 7000 series comes out tho

[red elm]

warranty? i've never heard anything about that

[hot folio]

From microcenter

[pallid coyote]

I didn't know they offered that

[pallid coyote]

Man, I'll need to look into this

[hot folio]

It’s not specifically stated in the warranty but the manager of the MC I was at basically said I could go about things that way in the future

[frail warren]

whats the 2070 and its variants coming around to

[karmic crag]

huh

[heady turtle]

Huh?

[frail warren]

price wise

[heady turtle]

Uhh depends on ebay

2070 has been out of production for 2 years

[frail warren]

average

wait seriously

[heady turtle]

2070 super has been out of production for a year

Yeah

They stop production of old generations

Cuz the 30 series out

[frail warren]

what is the equivilant to the 2070-2080 etc in the 30 series

[vital oriole]

there's no equivalent

3060ti is closest but it's more 2080s perf

[frail warren]

is the 3060 cheaper than the 2070 msrp

[vital oriole]

yes, but 3060 is 2060s perf btw

but rn, 3060 is definitely expensive

[frail warren]

but in msrp is it cheaper, not includin scaplers and such

[heady turtle]

Yes but it's a bit less perf than 2070

[vital pivot]

Heh.

Now my daughter is building her pc from old parts.

She got my 2080ti

She wanted to grab my liquid metal and use it.

Had to tell her no.

You can use the pre-applied paste

At least ekwb has a 5 year warranty.

[junior jolt]

should i buy the item i won on newegg shuffle?

[lone pond]

What'd you win?

3060 plus ram

[lone pond]

for how much?

the 676 usd one?

[keen nacelle]

How much?

[junior jolt]

wdym

[lone pond]

150 for ram then 500 for 3060

[keen nacelle]

How much does it cost

[junior jolt]

its 676 with ram

[keen nacelle]

And what size of ram

[junior jolt]

ram is 150

[lone pond]

I wouldnt get that

[junior jolt]

32gb

[lone pond]

you're paying 500 usd for a 3060

msrp is like 350

[junior jolt]

it was msi 12g, 2 fan

[keen nacelle]

I'd pass it up but it is like 100 under ebay i think

Still overpriced for a 3060

[lone pond]

Yeah

[junior jolt]

yeah

[keen nacelle]

I'd pay 450$ for one

[vital pivot]

No screw that msrp bs

[keen nacelle]

On the high end

[lone pond]

Hey guys, I have a gigabyte 2070 super and saw that they are being sold as refurbished for the same as 3070's. Is there any real benefit to swapping to a 3070? My pc is currently bottlenecked with my 2070

[junior jolt]

want to buy it from me?

[keen nacelle]

3070s are also being scalped

[junior jolt]

nvm

its against rules

[keen nacelle]

I mean I won't encourage anything but it doesn't say anything about a consensual dm

I mean what

[vital pivot]

Always buy before you sell.

[lone pond]

So a 3070 gives lower performance than my 2070 super?

[heady turtle]

Yes but 3070s are very hard to find

[fossil talon]

Nope

Other way around

[lone pond]

Newegg has a few up

[keen nacelle]

No

Not even close

[fossil talon]

But 2070 Super still does well. I would wait til the 4000 series

[keen nacelle]

There's a gpu shortage

[lone pond]

I figured I'd may as well sell my super and upgrade lmao

[keen nacelle]

And gpus are getting scalped, which means resold way above msrp

[heady turtle]

Through the shuffle tho you can't straight up buy

[keen nacelle]

Or a normal market

[fossil talon]

4000 series would be more beneficial to you next year

[keen nacelle]

Your 2070s would normally go for like 300, now they're going for 600-700

[heady turtle]

I'd wait for 40 series tbh, or if you want to spend the time getting 3070 sure

[fossil talon]

Upgrading now wouldn't make much sense from the 20s series

[junior jolt]

okay so no buying the 3060 then

[lone pond]

they doing a 4000 series next year?

[fossil talon]

Likely Q4 2022

Or later

[heady turtle]

I mean it's up to you, i personally wouldn't pay more than 450 but if you need a card and don't mind overpaying a bit go for it

[hot folio]

I wonder how much of a difference there will be for 4000 series

[lone pond]

How am I gonna run bf2042 on ultra now 😭

[junior jolt]

i see

[hot folio]

BF games really aren’t that difficult to run that well, they’re very well optimized

[fossil talon]

True, companies can now see that people are willing to pay more.....hmmmm

[lone pond]

Oh yeah. Only problem is I have a 144 hertz monitor and playing below 144 fps hurts my eyes now.

Suffering from privilege

Bf5 I can max put with Ray tracing and I hit 50-70

[keen nacelle]

If it follows the trend the 4070 will be as strong as a 3080 ti

Around anyways

[fossil talon]

Pretty much ish

We'll see

[keen nacelle]

Just because 980 ti =1070, 1080 ti= 2070s (around) 2080 ti = 3070

So it'd just make sense

[fossil talon]

Last time I played BF5 I think I was pulling 132fps on Ultra w/ RT (running on a 1440p Ultrawide ~ little strenuous)

It's been a while

Gotta check when I get home

3070FE

Might be mixing up with Destiny 2 FPS

Ahhhh I'm literally 893km away from my PC atm

[hot folio]

I’m getting around 100 on 4K high with RT on with my 6800xt

[vital pivot]

I wonder what my 3090 would hit.

is 3080 ti worth it?

1200

[vital pivot]

It’s a nerfed 3090

But if you can get one for that price. I would

[keen nacelle]

its really not that different from a 3090

1-2% difference

only difference is vram, which doesnt matter that much for gaming

[keen nacelle]

meaning 12gb-24gb

[tepid terrace]

how are people still scalping 3080s

also the 3080 is being scalped way too much the 3090 in comparison isn't that much % raised from msrp but 3080 is easily over double

[keen nacelle]

More demand for 3080s

Also I wouldn't day over double, not anymore

[pastel narwhal]

which graphics card is best for my friend's motherboard
Motherboard name: ASRock super alloy H110M-HDV r3.0

[keen nacelle]

Mobo doesn't change gpu compatibility as long as it has a pcie slot

Depends on the size of the case, what cou you have, what resolution they're playing at

And budget

[pastel narwhal]

Thank u

[fossil talon]

Unicorn cards, literally the most sought after

[normal hawk]

Because most places still don't have them available

Almost never in stock at best buy amazon or microcenter. Only in bundles/shuffle at Newegg.

When they are in stock they sell out in minutes

The only GPU's that are readily available are the 6000 series and that's because stores have them listed at 2-3x MSRP

And some Nvidia but also being sold beyond MSRP. I came across quite a few RTX 3000 series at Microcenter but passed on them since they wanted close to 2K and above

[normal hawk]

True true. I bought a 3090 for 2250$ 😬

[pallid coyote]

Oof, that's actually on the lower end of scalping price

[heady turtle]

That's about right sounding tbh

[vital pivot]

That’s what I paid for my kingpin

After tax and shipping

But. I got a substantial 3090

[normal hawk]

It wasn't scalped. Got it on newegg

If you search up GPU, sort by highest price and then look at the one's sold by Newegg. They'll have 3090 and 3080 ti bundles randomly. Right now i only see 3090's ranging from (bundle price) 2321 to 3829 or something like that.

[pallid coyote]

Cool, I'll check it out, thanks, @normal hawk

[normal hawk]

Cheapest and most expensive for the 3090's available

If you try to filter by card it won't even keep the bundles up so i can't check the OOS ones unless i scroll through like 500 options.

What's the difference between a ROG STRIX card and a TUF card?

[vital pivot]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$&&&

[analog shore]

Anything else?

[fossil talon]

Both heavy as hell, GPU sag lol

I believe the Strix has RGB and TUF doesn't

[analog shore]

Oh it looks like i just found there is a slightly higher boost clock in the STRIX 3080TI as well but that's probably because its a tad longer

Managed to get a comparison on pc part picker in the end

[heady turtle]

Slightly higher power limit on the strix but just get the cheaper one, both tuf and strix are very nice cards

[hot folio]

Strix has slightly better cooling also

[heady turtle]

That's just because the strix is factory overclocked, nothing you couldn't do with 30 seconds in afterburner

[heady turtle]

Use techpower up to compare but they are fairly similar

[heady turtle]

Is it that much better tho tuf is already chonky

[hot folio]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N3lfXsa08CY according to this guy yeah that’s a difference

However he doesn’t state the actual temps for the strix

Strix he put A+, TUF he put A

[analog shore]

Ok well in terms of all the different 3080/3080ti models out there. Which would you guys in your opinions say is better?

[fossil talon]

Strix #1

Honorable mention: FTW3 Ultra

[heady turtle]

The cheapest one that's not gigabyte eagle or msi ventus

[fossil talon]

Ventus 🤮

[analog shore]

Was this not the card that had issues with the chip a while back? Or is this all sorted now?

[fossil talon]

Ah no that was the 3090

3080 Strix is still the best 3080 you can get with an air cooling shroud

[fossil talon]

Also yeah they fixed the issues since the first batch at release

[analog shore]

Does that apply to the TI as well?

[fossil talon]

Ye

[analog shore]

being the better of them all i mean. Not the fixing issue

[fossil talon]

It is the best

In all 30 cards

However the most expensive model of course

[analog shore]

Well i guess in this instance you are paying for quality for a change then

[hot folio]

Partly also the name of it

But yeah the quality and cooling performance is a big part of it

[reef heath]

How much was 3070 aorus msrp for ?

Before the price increase

[sick valley]

Is 750w enough for 3080 ti and i9

Or should I get a 1000w

[reef heath]

850w is enough

[sick valley]

Not a huge price difference so that's why I'm gonna get a 1000w instead of 850

But id 750 enough?

[reef heath]

Nah

[vital oriole]

It's actually enough

But pushing it

800 min

[keen nacelle]

^^

Technihcally you might be fine, I ran a 3060 ti on a 500w white, but I never overclocked, id definitely go with the 1000

[reef heath]

You guys think upgrading 3070 to a 3080ti for a msrp price be good?

Or wait for next gen?

[keen nacelle]

I've seen someone run a 3070 on a 450w which hurt me on a spiritual level

Depends on what you do

If you need the performance than if you can get it at msrp then yeah

If you just want it for the sake of wanting it I'd say wait

3080 ti msrp is already high af

[reef heath]

Well I'm trading it for msrp difference and adding cash on top. Just not sure if it's worth the upgrade, so Im asking.

[karmic crag]

550w absolute minimum for the 3070 imo, depending on the cpu

[keen nacelle]

Depends on what you do

[karmic crag]

650w for comfort

[reef heath]

Performance

[keen nacelle]

If you want 4k then yeah I'd say it's worth it

If you're doing 1440p I'd say stick with 3070 till next gen

[reef heath]

Yeah on on 2k

[keen nacelle]

Idk it's up to you, depends on if you have the extra money and can comfortably do it

And if you want the extra fps

[reef heath]

Hmm, thanks man. Il keep that on mind.

[keen nacelle]

Also can't hurt to wait for a second opinion

[fossil talon]

Itx undervolting lol

[keen nacelle]

It was full power, Dell pre built

I will never understand that man

[fossil talon]

Pain

Wth

[heady turtle]

A good 850w is what would do because of the power spikes

[keen nacelle]

I should check on him

See if his pc imploded yet

I think he had a 3600 with it

Maybe a 10400

[heady turtle]

Honestly an 850w revolution d.f. is gonna be just as expensive as a 750w but actually enough wattage

[sick valley]

I would do it think of how the 2080 ti is rn and think of how realistic games like flight sim already are. It's basically a 3090

[sick valley]

Yeah imma get a 1000w gold just to be future proof

[heady turtle]

2080 ti is slightly worse than a 3070

[keen nacelle]

And it will prolly be as strong as a 4070

[sick valley]

Near same price tho

[heady turtle]

Gold just means the efficiency not if it's good

[sick valley]

Will you really need that power

[sick valley]

I know I always buy seasonic or corsair

Both are pretty good

[heady turtle]

[sick valley]

3070 is slightly worse btw

[heady turtle]

Both make good and bad power supplies

[heady turtle]

Nope

[sick valley]

https://youtu.be/FDVN5YfbDe8

[heady turtle]

What res is that?

[sick valley]

4k

[heady turtle]

4k high?

[sick valley]

Also 40 series is probably in late 2022

[sick valley]

Ye

[heady turtle]

That's just cuz 2080 ti has more vram

At 1080p and 1440p 3070 wins

[vital oriole]

ye

[sick valley]

It's ultra

Settings

With dlss

[vital oriole]

vram limits it in 4k

[sick valley]

And ray tracing
