like 3060ti is same perf at 4k as 3070

cause of that same vram limitation

[sick valley]

Rt should give the 3070 an edge but no

[sick valley]

Yeah still a lot of people game at 4k

[heady turtle]

No lol majority still at 1080p

[vital oriole]

still much less than 1440p and 1080p

[keen nacelle]

Not really

[vital oriole]

even steam says so

768p is somehow still somewhat popular

[keen nacelle]

4k high refresh rate is expensive af, cost like 700min in remember correctly

[vital oriole]

well of course, it's on many laptops

[keen nacelle]

Most people can't afford that

[vital oriole]

my laptop even is 768p

[sick valley]

Bruh moment

[keen nacelle]

I played on 1050p with a 1030 till January

[heady turtle]

Very few ppl play at 4k 1 because it's impractical without 3080+

[vital oriole]

expensive entry to 4k

[keen nacelle]

That was my first pc, went strong for 3 years

[vital oriole]

1440p is becoming affordable

but 1080p still the standard

cause cheap

[heady turtle]

Also you neeed a big ass screen for 1440p to become meh

[sick valley]

Yeah so you don't really need 40 gen because you really don't need 8k your eyes can't really tell in an area as small as a monitor

[heady turtle]

And 4k to be needed

[keen nacelle]

My 1080p 165hz cost the same at my 1440p 75hz

[keen nacelle]

Yes but games become more demanding

[heady turtle]

You don't need 4k unless you're using like a 38" or something

[hot folio]

People like me that game in 4K are the vast minority

[karmic crag]

1440p 144hz 27" is 👌

mwah

[sick valley]

Flight sim runs fine with mods on a 3080 ti

[keen nacelle]

And?

Games advance

[sick valley]

It's a very demanding game

[keen nacelle]

Become more demanding

[hot folio]

4K 75hz 28’

[sick valley]

Get better dlss, get better optimization

[heady turtle]

I would take high refresh 1440p or 1080p over 60hz 4k

[keen nacelle]

That-

[sick valley]

Do you really need a game more realistic than games like flight sim?

[keen nacelle]

That's not as big of a difference as you'd think

Whether we need them or not

[sick valley]

Lmao valorant and other games moment

[keen nacelle]

They'll come

[hot folio]

Opposite here for me lol

Actually nope

60hz is still a bit too low for me

[sick valley]

High ref is best

[hot folio]

75hz 4K is where it’s at personally

[keen nacelle]

Next cod is gonna be demanding af, probably 2060perf min

[sick valley]

4k 144 or 120

[heady turtle]

90hz minimum, 120 realistically

[vital oriole]

I got spoiled by 75hz+ even in normal usage

[hot folio]

In 4K minimum is 75hz imo

[vital oriole]

My laptop manage to do 80hz oc from 60 lmao

[sick valley]

144 hz is best

Gets overkill after

[vital oriole]

My luck is good with this thing

+20hz for free

not more fps ofc just refresh on the screen

[sick valley]

Bruh when I use a Mac after using my pc I'm like no just no

And it's the highest spec macbook pro

It's depressing

[hot folio]

I have no point in 144hz since I only play at 4K really

[keen nacelle]

I dont understand when people think you need 144fps for 144hz to matter

It still refreshes more

[vital oriole]

ye

even in normal daily usage

it's sooo smooooth

[sick valley]

It's nice to scroll

[vital oriole]

whenever i get to touch my dad's phone

[keen nacelle]

I use my 1440p monitor at 75hz for my daily usage

[vital oriole]

i love it lmao

it's the only 144hz device my whole house has

[keen nacelle]

I normally use my 1080 only for gaming, prefer the pixel density on 1440p

[sick valley]

I hate my dad's I have an s21 ultra and my parents have iphones and it tortures me

[vital oriole]

eef

[keen nacelle]

I hate apple with a passion

[heady turtle]

Ive a 120hz phone screen, 60 is just slow

[vital oriole]

Aren't iphones still stuck at 60hz

[sick valley]

Facts

[heady turtle]

Even in day to day stuff

[heady turtle]

Ye

[sick valley]

Apple is

[vital oriole]

oof

Well that's of apple

[keen nacelle]

I won a Mac m1 mini a while back

Sold it immediately

[vital oriole]

lmao

I would tbh

[sick valley]

Won?

[keen nacelle]

Yeah

[vital oriole]

I'll instantly sell apple stuff I win

That fat cash

[keen nacelle]

r/giveaways

[sick valley]

My dad had an m1 macbook pro it's garbage

Has*

[vital oriole]

it's great if you're stuck in apple ecosystem

[sick valley]

Our school gave us macbook air m1 and it's also garbage

[keen nacelle]

I won a 2.5k price pack of a Mac m1 mini, monitor, two microphones, headset, two elgato key lights, elgato stream deck xl

[vital oriole]

holy

[keen nacelle]

That paid for my pc "upgrade" and drivers ed soon

Yeah im lucky as word i can't say

[vital oriole]

tbh I want my next phone to have at least 90hz

Current one has 60

[sick valley]

I used to main a Mac but was always a windows person because I built like 20 pcs for others before building mine

[vital oriole]

90+ or bust

[sick valley]

Now I'm never going back

[keen nacelle]

Windows >

[sick valley]

Yes

Factual

[keen nacelle]

I gtg I'm at work

[heady turtle]

Nice

[heady turtle]

How does that work?

[vital oriole]

Then again my phone was only 127 bucks a year ago, when I bought it

[sick valley]

I'm excited for windows 11 tbh

[keen nacelle]

[vital oriole]

I took it with gcam

google cam just makes stuff take nice pics in a sudden

[heady turtle]

Nice, tbh most budget phones now are pretty good anyway

[vital oriole]

stock cam app with the phone is much worse

[heady turtle]

G cam bae

[vital oriole]

yeh

[heady turtle]

Just magic

[vital oriole]

night pics still meh cause tiny sensor

She gave it to me for hannukah lmao

I just want smtjn with a dedicated gpu

Just so I can play minecraft not in my room or if I go on vacation or smthn

[static sparrow]

I really hope gpu prices will drop in my lifetime 😔

This whole crypto boom has thrown my pc plans way off track

[heady turtle]

They should in about a year or so

[vital oriole]

2022

[heady turtle]

@vital oriole i see 500$ cash ;-;

[heady turtle]

Oof 132 days left tho lol

[vital oriole]

dang

that's a huge giveaway for sure

[heady turtle]

Aye it actually requires subbing on YouTube n stuff tho :/

Idm twitter follows /twitch cuz i barely use lol

[vital oriole]

sad

[keen nacelle]

Same I just sub to yt and then every month or so I go through and unsub to anyone I dont watch lol

[heady turtle]

Effort to do on yt tbh i use yt too much

[keen nacelle]

Fair enough

I only have like 3 yt I watch new uploads from

So it doesn't matter too much to me

[heady turtle]

Fair enough

[keen nacelle]

Btw I mostly only enter playr.gg and gleam giveaways, the other sites tend to be annoying @heady turtle @vital oriole

[vital pivot]

Just purchased that evga 3060ti

[keen nacelle]

Congrats, how much

[vital pivot]

$509

[keen nacelle]

Nice

[vital pivot]

Evga ftw3 ultra

[heady turtle]

Yeah I'm just doing gleam

[heady turtle]

[vital pivot]

My bud is getting it

My cost is his cost

[keen nacelle]

Good guy daarken

[heady turtle]

Daarken the gpu distributor for his friends it looks like xD

[vital pivot]

Been doing it since January

I signed up for that card 8/4/20

Nevermind. Yeah can’t read

Lol

12/01/20

[pallid coyote]

Congrats

[karmic crag]

nice dude

that's a great price

[lone pond]

I've done it!!! NewEgg Shuffle has blessed me with a 3060 TI

[heady turtle]

Pog

[keen nacelle]

How much?

[lone pond]

ASUS Bundle (TUF B450M-Pro and Dual 3060 Ti) $736

[heady turtle]

ooof that pricing did you dirty....

ahh well

[keen nacelle]

Yeah

[heady turtle]

better get mining xD

[keen nacelle]

Can sell the mobo to get some back atleast (or use it if you need it)

[lone pond]

Im selling it, i have a MSI B550 Gaming Plus

that 736 counting tax and shipping

[keen nacelle]

Btw @heady turtle if I put fans at 80 instead of 90 my core stays at 50 and I get 505.5 efficiency with 61.2mh/s

[heady turtle]

👌 80 or 85 would probs be fine but you probs want less heat in your room if its already that warm x)

[keen nacelle]

If I turn fans up hashrate goes down

I'm guessing it's using more power with this power limit, so lower speed means more power to gpu

[heady turtle]

by much?

hashrate fluctuates slightly anyway

[keen nacelle]

It goes down by around 1mh/s

[heady turtle]

hmm

i wonder if thats actual fluaction in hashrate or what

cuz mine flucates hashrate between 60 and 61

[keen nacelle]

Nah its a direct correlation

I put it back to 90 for all day it stayed at around 60.2

Put it back to 80 (back when I pinged you) and it immediately goes up to 61.2

[heady turtle]

Weird

Nice

80% it is i guess then

[keen nacelle]

Yeah, as long as it stays semi cool

I live in New England so the weather changes every 2 hours

[static sparrow]

Until the cost of the cards drop I’m gonna be rocking a R7 240

God it makes me wish I could remove laptop graphic cards

[lone pond]

Its not like you can just put a mobile GPU in a desktop

[static sparrow]

Yeah I know

[heady turtle]

Welllllllllll Nvidia can x)

[junior jolt]

was buying a 3060ti for 619.41 including a psu good?

[cerulean rover]

Depends on the PSU and if you need the PSU

[junior jolt]

i dont

700w

[cerulean rover]

It's okay, depends on what specific PSU

[junior jolt]

https://www.newegg.com/evga-700-bq-110-bq-0700-v1-700w/p/N82E16817438176?Item=N82E16817438176

[cerulean rover]

With a BQ, meh

Not great not bad

[junior jolt]

was the deal good?

[heady turtle]

Not really

[lone pond]

Meh

Bq is super cheap isn’t it

[heady turtle]

It's a meh

[junior jolt]

the gpu was near msrp

[heady turtle]

?

[junior jolt]

bq is decent

[heady turtle]

The msrp is 400$

Bq is meh

[junior jolt]

its near msrp oof, the bq atleast isn't a chinese bomb

[heady turtle]

No it will work but i wouldn't put the 3060 ti on it

[junior jolt]

oh yeah fr

i have a sfx 700w

or 750

[cerulean rover]

I mean bq 700 will be okay with a 3060ti, just can be better

[heady turtle]

Yeah I mean it will be fine i just personally would go b tier at least

[junior jolt]

yeah

for efficiency

[heady turtle]

Nope not talking bout efficiency

[junior jolt]

or more headroom for oc?

[hot folio]

BQ=bad quality

[heady turtle]

Got nothing to do with quality

[junior jolt]

bq rlly?

[heady turtle]

Efficiency has 0% to do with quality

Just how efficient it is at turning ac to dc power

[junior jolt]

it probably uses less expensive components

[heady turtle]

Example, gigabyte pgm -bomb is 80+ gold

[junior jolt]

english?

[cerulean rover]

Gigabyte P-gm, the PSU, literally blew up in testing

[junior jolt]

oh, tbh gigabyte doesn't really specialize in psu making

[cerulean rover]

And that was rated 80+ Gold

[cerulean rover]

Nor does EVGA or Corsair, they rebrand PSUs from other OEMs

[junior jolt]

yeah

[cerulean rover]

Tho Corsair does work with cwt for custom PSU platforms

[hot folio]

And some Corsair PSUs are pretty damn good

[junior jolt]

seasonic is good

[hot folio]

Maybe not best value

[cerulean rover]

*Some CWT PSUs are pretty damn good

Hehe

[heady turtle]

They usually brand seasonic or cwt or super flower

[hot folio]

Some seasonic*

[heady turtle]

Some*

[cerulean rover]

Seasonic cwt sf fortron

[heady turtle]

Some seasonic good some are bleh

Ohh seasonic is cwt?

[cerulean rover]

No

Im listing oems

[heady turtle]

Ohh lol

I was confusion

[hot folio]

I’m pretty sure like the Corsair HX platinum like my HX750 are by CWT

[cerulean rover]

Let's see what else

Andyson HEC high power

[hot folio]

High power PSUs aren’t bad

Mine is holding up for like 5 years now

But it’s only like an rx480 build

[cerulean rover]

That should cover all the common ones

[heady turtle]

Yeah most psus are based on those

[strong stag]

can someone find me a better gpu then 1650 for under 200

PLZ lol

[pallid coyote]

Really hard to find it below that right now. You can try the used market until you get lucky

[cosmic bluff]

Used markets is selling most of those better than 1650 for over 200 easy

[strong stag]

i have a 1650 super i could sell lol

[heady turtle]

Huh? Just use the 1650 super

[cosmic bluff]

If that would raise your budget but ive found some 1660 on few places for around 300 and some for 225 used

[strong stag]

225?

link?

i need

for my new build

[heady turtle]

No point going from 1650 super to 1660 it's a fat sidegrade

[cosmic bluff]

True

[strong stag]

:?

:/

what should i upgrade to?

ill have 280 total to spend

[heady turtle]

Well 1660 os slightly better but not worth the extra money

If it was a super or ti tho

But imo just keep the cash and the 1650 super

Then wait

[hot folio]

Save up to like $400 and try to get a 3060ti from Best Buy

[heady turtle]

Even a 3060

[strong stag]

hmm

😦

[heady turtle]

You need to wait for a drop

@strong stag

[hot folio]

how did I not know about this…

[heady turtle]

I wrote it the other day

[hot folio]

Oh makes sense

Oh wait yeah August 2nd

[heady turtle]

I thought it was pretty thorough, decided might as well use it instead of repeating myself and missing something

[hot folio]

Yeah it’s pretty thorough

I would add as like a final statement “if all of the above fail, just get a prebuilt”

Lol

They got the wrong image

Woah guys, actually theres a pretty big drop on Newegg. I see 3080 ti's, and 3080's. Still scrolling

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3080-gv-n3080ixeb-10gd-r2/p/N82E16814932471

Is this an external GPU or what?

[fossil talon]

Yea egpu

[normal hawk]

Dang

[fossil talon]

Watercooled egpu

[normal hawk]

Ohhh

Could i take the GPU out?

[fossil talon]

Well yeah, however it's going to be difficult

[normal hawk]

Not worth the risk?

[fossil talon]

Its design so well for thermal dissipation

[normal hawk]

But you lose so much performance don't you?

[fossil talon]

The problem is finding a new shroud to fit it outside it's egpu form

Not worth it imo

[normal hawk]

Ah sadness

[fossil talon]

https://youtu.be/GhWsEQK6pQ4

[normal hawk]

Oo

[analog shore]

Thoughts on the zotac 3080ti

[errant crest]

When do they drop

Or they don’t anymore

[analog shore]

Huh

[errant crest]

The 3060s

[normal hawk]

They only tested one game? And it's a game already known to have issues. Tsk tsk

[fossil talon]

Not the best nor the worse
Pretty close to FE perf but a little better
If you can get it for MSRP go ahead although MSRP is already expensive as hell

[analog shore]

What was MSRP on that card?

[fossil talon]

It's ok, they did resolve the free world game issue a bit, still would advise not playing it

[errant crest]

anyone know when they drop or how I could know

[normal hawk]

Ugh Newegg needs to update their photos. All the 3080 and 3080 ti's available on newegg right now are the egpu. But they don't show up as that until you look at them

[fossil talon]

Ah checking, I'm Canadian so rechecking us stores atm

[normal hawk]

But they are in bundles with mobos for NO reason basically 😒

This is with the egpu, not that AIO 3080 😒 how dare they lol

[fossil talon]

If that's straight from Zotac store, not worth it

[normal hawk]

Do ya think Asus will make a phoenix fan 3060? 🤡

[fossil talon]

Whats wrong with them

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Graphics-Cards/Phoenix/PH-RTX3060-12G/

Asus is crazzzyy

[fossil talon]

cringing so hard

Oh well SFF works well with this

[normal hawk]

I had a phoenix fan 2060 until i gave it to my brother.

[normal hawk]

Ugh people still spreading missinformation about the states that banned PC's with high idle power usage 😒

[heady turtle]

Yeah i was thinking of adding something like that will do

[normal hawk]

What benefits does one get with the professional cards? The RTX A5000 has slightly lower specs than the 3090 but costs twice as much, what makes it better? Is shader model 6.6, openCL 3.0, and Cuda 8.6 that much better than 6.5, 2.0, and 8.5 to be worth a few thousand dollars more?

[brisk flame]

funky drivers

[heady turtle]

Driver support

[brisk flame]

also guaranteed compatibility/performance in set applications

[normal hawk]

Ah, seems like an expensive investment.

But i guess there are businesses out there that still use IE because their internal web service only works on it 🤷‍♂️

Ah

[stone wraith]

Worth the price?

[heady turtle]

Imo no

[vital oriole]

eh no

6700xt is kinda meh

[heady turtle]

If you're very desperate it's not terrible but you could get 3070 for that price

[stone wraith]

Kk thx guys yall saved me from bait

[vital oriole]

yeah 3070 is better value

the inflated price is similar to 6700xt too

[stone wraith]

Also isnt best buy dropping today? They usually drop on thursdays

[vital oriole]

thursdays, two weeks

yeah i guess

[pallid coyote]

No on the 6700 price

[hot folio]

6700xt is more like a 3060ti

6800 is more of the 3070 competitor

Value wise the 6700xt is the worst out of the AMD cards

[heady turtle]

Yeah

Especially a 2 fan card

[normal hawk]

I wonder if i could sell my 5700xt for a bit when i get home xD

[heady turtle]

Yeah they still go for 600-700ish on ebay last time i checked

Stupid pricing

[normal hawk]

Would sell it and buy a 6800xt or 6900xt. 🤷‍♂️

[heady turtle]

Yeah would be a nice upgrade

Especially in terms of driver stability

[hot folio]

Aorus Master 6800xt =

Imo if the 6600xt is reasonably priced there would be no reason to buy a 3060

[heady turtle]

Well

Depends what price you can them for lol

But tbh looks like there is gonna be refrence 6600xts

[hot folio]

Yeah that’s what I meant lol

[vital oriole]

I wonder how 6600xt turns out in perf

wait i forgot there's already reviews, is it?

[hot folio]

Supposedly it’ll be a bit better than the 3060

[heady turtle]

3060ish from the leaks afaik

Think it's still leaks

[vital oriole]

hmm

well that's sad isn't it

more expensive than 3060 according to leaks

[hot folio]

How much is it?

[heady turtle]

380

[vital oriole]

it's 379

3060 is 329

[hot folio]

70 more and you get a 6700xt

MSRP wise at least

[vital oriole]

amd probably just knows price gonna be inflated anyway

msrp doesn't matter

[heady turtle]

100 more

[vital oriole]

however

3060 has 12 gigs vram

6600xt seems to have 8

[heady turtle]

380 480 550 for 6600xt 6700xt 6800 iirc

[vital pivot]

Heh. Like a 3060 can utilize all the extra ram

[vital oriole]

true

[vital pivot]

Anyway. Build is back on

[vital oriole]

but it's just numbers to consider cause why not

[hot folio]

Isn’t the 6700xt $450?

[heady turtle]

Pog

[vital oriole]

not that im saying it's better

[heady turtle]

480

[vital oriole]

that box shape tho

[vital pivot]

Yeah

[keen nacelle]

A card of that performance won't use more than 8

[vital oriole]

i know

im not saying it's gonna use more lmao

[keen nacelle]

I'm guessing 6600xt will be around 2070s-2080 perf

Not counting dlss or rtx

[hot folio]

6600xt is between a 3060 and a 3060ti but closer towards the 3060

[keen nacelle]

Wait is it released already?

As in we have performance?

[hot folio]

Leaks

[keen nacelle]

Ah

I haven't paid much attention to leaks since the 3060

Bc my stupid friend who thought he know about pcs said the 12gb of vram would make it better than the 3060 ti

And almost had me selling ym 3060 ti to buy one

[heady turtle]

💀

[keen nacelle]

Not only stupid he was also toxic af, glad I stopped talking to him

[hot folio]

Lmfao that’s honestly hilarious

[heady turtle]

I mean if you didn't know pcs i would understand it but if you're lying about knowing what you're on about, like it takes 2 seconds to Google it

[keen nacelle]

In your opinion @heady turtle is windows defender good?

I thought it sucked but someone in another sever is saying it's good

[heady turtle]

Yeah it's decent, malware bytes + win defender optimal tho

[keen nacelle]

Thanks

[heady turtle]

Np

[vital pivot]

Pato is correct about windows defender.

[hot folio]

Pato is correct about everything

[vital pivot]

Nah

Almost everything.

Just like me :p

[heady turtle]

:d

[pallid coyote]

My company used to use 3rd party AV years back but Windows Defender is so much better nowadays. They went from being the worse AV to one of the best. My company only use Defender now and we have over 1K employees and close to 1200 Windows machines

[pallid coyote]

Agreed

[vital pivot]

You are late to the party @pallid coyote but have a beer anyway 🙂

[cosmic bluff]

So is 70°C too hot for the 3090 when under 100% load

[brisk flame]

no

[hot folio]

Nope

[spare relic]

I'd almost be willing to touch that

[vital pivot]

Lick it.

It won’t burn much

Just don’t drool

[ruby seal]

Is the 3060 compatible with the Gigabyte B550 Vision D?

[vital pivot]

Yes

Compatible with all motherboards made for the past 10 years.

[ruby seal]

Are you sure?

Because I'm attempting to buy one

[vital pivot]

You can put 2 rtx3060s if you wanted

[heady turtle]

but you should never ^

[vital pivot]

lol he might be “mining”

[heady turtle]

with lhr lol

[vital pivot]

But to answer your question. The 3060 is pcie 4.0 and it is backwards compatible with pcie3.0 and should run even in a pcie 2.0 slot

1st gen 3060s didn’t have lhr

[heady turtle]

all 3060s have lhr it launched with it, think youre thinking of 3060 ti

[vital pivot]

Driver limited for the 3060

Unless you have the leaked driver

Which I do.

[cosmic bluff]

Isnt 3090 automatically a non-LHR model

[vital pivot]

Yea I believe so

[cosmic bluff]

Less goo i might try to use what i was gifted to from the best buy gods of drops

[heady turtle]

Ohb true yeah but you need 1 specific driver

[heady turtle]

Yep no 3090 lhr

[heady turtle]

I would mine with your 3090 if you want some nice cash on the side tbf if you don't mind the heat

[cosmic bluff]

Well im gonna try when build is finished

Just waiting on case and ram to arrive

[keen nacelle]

It's everywhere online

Easy to download

[heady turtle]

True

that one should work

[hot folio]

I wouldn’t buy it

Couple reasons

Ships from Hong Kong is a red flag, and 2k isn’t really a good price for a 3080 ti

[heady turtle]

Jeez no that's 3090 pricing

3080 ti from as scalper would be less i feel like

[vale cosmos]

can you point me in a good direction on where i could get a 3080 and or 3090?

i know times are difficult right now but jesus

[heady turtle]

@vale cosmos

[cerulean rover]

side note

paying scalpers is cheaper than buying that card

scalpers are doing like 1600$ for a 3080ti

[vale cosmos]

first pc build so im learning I just didnt realize it would be this big of a pain

[cerulean rover]

example, not that you should buy it
https://stockx.com/nvidia-evga-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-xc3-gaming-12g-graphics-card-12g-p5-3953-kr

[cerulean rover]

it wasn't this big of a pain a year ago

not your fault

[heady turtle]

Abs prebuilts are always a decent option then if you haven't bought anything yet

[vale cosmos]

i mean ive thought about it but i really wanted to build my own just for the experience

[heady turtle]

Yeah bad timing 😅

How to buy a graphics card in 2021

Don't waste your time looking for 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

*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*
*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 - it does not positively or negatively effect any of your chances to get the other items
*EVGA* - Evga has drops through their queue system - doesn't seem to have a regular schedule
*Zotac* - Zotac has a drop system just like best buy - doesn't seem to have a regular schedule
*AMD.com* - AMD have a drop system also, 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```

```If you live in Canada:
*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 had 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* - Random drops - Unfortunately it doesn't seems to have a pattern for restock
*Ebuyer* - Random drops - Unfortunately it doesn't seems to have a pattern for restock
*Scan* - Random drops - Unfortunately it doesn't seems to have a pattern for restock
*AMD.com* - AMD has a drop system also, every Thursday between 2pm to 5pm GMT```

@vale cosmos

@stiff zodiac Can we get a pin on this or Pato’s original message?

[vale cosmos]

i literally live 45min from one in houston

[vital pivot]

Or you just have a good friend who has crazy luck and gives you the card at cost.

I love the microcenter in Houston.

Only a few guys try to act like they know what they are doing.

[stiff zodiac]

Looks helpful

[heady turtle]

@stiff zodiac can you pin my og message pls? :'(

If not it's fine i suppose wanted to edit it tho lol

[stiff zodiac]

I don't know where to look

[hot folio]

Just search by what Pato sent on August 2nd in this channel

You should find it really quickly

Also I don’t want people thinking I wrote that

[heady turtle]

Sorry @stiff zodiac i replied to it but disc decided no

[hot folio]

That also works lmaooo

[vale cosmos]

@heady turtle can you recommend decent prebuilts? looked at nzxt earlier.

[heady turtle]

Lol is my grammar that bad 🤣

[heady turtle]

Abs on Newegg if you're in the us

[hot folio]

😂I mean I want you to have the credit for it lmaooo

NZXT prebuilts aren’t that good

[heady turtle]

Thanks

[hot folio]

Grammar is perfect on your message

[heady turtle]

Okay good lol x)

I was just messing

But sometimes my grammar is meh lol

[hot folio]

I’ll just quickly proof read it and I’ll dm you it

[heady turtle]

Lol thanks xD

[vale cosmos]

its so hard for me to spend money on something. that i don't want i like to do things one and done. get it on the first try.

[heady turtle]

Understandable, well i would happily buy an ABS prebuilt their build quality is vey nice and it's usually the best option for people in these times if buying from new, what is your budget/what you looking for btw

[hot folio]

Actually I just edited the version I sent, I guess just copy and paste that

[heady turtle]

Ohh no what did i mess up lol

I'll check in few mins on pc

[hot folio]

Just really has/have

[heady turtle]

Editing something that big on mobile is not fun

Fair enough

[vale cosmos]

don't really have a budget. just trying to build a decent pc to last me for a decent amount of time before having to upgrade.

[hot folio]

It wasn’t that bad

[heady turtle]

Okay lemme see what's in stock atm

[heady turtle]

Thanks lol i might leave it then, I'll read in sec and see anyway lol

[hot folio]

I meant it wasn’t that bad editing on mobile but yeah there was only a couple grammar mistakes

[heady turtle]

Ahh

@vale cosmos https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali502/p/N82E16883360097 this is what i would go for or https://www.newegg.com/abs-ala236-gladiator/p/N82E16883360100R if you don't mind open box

[vale cosmos]

how is it possible to pay that little with that gpu? @heady turtle

[heady turtle]

Ehh i mean they go on retail for about 900-1k ish for a 3080, 3700x is 280ish, ram 100$, psu, 70$ probs etc but they obvs get them at lower than retail because they're the retailer(abs is owned by newegg)

[vale cosmos]

@heady turtle i guess i dont fully understand GPUs

[heady turtle]

That's fair

[cerulean rover]

this is all you need to know about their performance
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/singleCompare.php

[heady turtle]

Ty tomie

[pallid coyote]

Been a while since I've been to that one

[vital pivot]

Yeah I haven’t been there since June

But it’s a 3hr drive one way so that definitely plays a part

[pallid coyote]

4 hour for me but I'm supposed to drive down to Houston later this month for a Lan party with my buddies. May check it out if I have time

[pallid coyote]

Nice, DFW here 😉 Texas! Aye

Dam. You heading home or are you just in between flights?

[heady turtle]

Uhhhh

That's not teryfing at all

I'm sorry but yall just live near this kinda stuff WHAT

Feels super wrong, also it looks like it's swimming in concrete

Lol nice

[vital pivot]

That’s some good eating. And good boots too

I hope you didn’t let it go to waste.

😆

[slate galleon]

also a purse if you're efficient

[subtle cove]

do yall think GPU prices will drop in about 30 days? or do you think they will stay the same? im only asking cause i would like to buy a 3060 soon, i understand probably no-one knows

[slate galleon]

no clue what will happen in 30 days, but i doubt it

maybe next year. untill then, i think best buy is your best chance at getting a non-inflated card

[subtle cove]

isnt a 3060 like $900 on BB?

[slate galleon]

last i checked, no

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-xc-gaming-12gb-gddr6-pci-express-4-0-graphics-card/6454329.p?skuId=6454329

absolutly not

4 hunge

[subtle cove]

hmm om not sure, it was legit the same price as a 3080 at the time i last checked

maybe i accidently typed 3070

lol

[slate galleon]

maybe they decided that inflation isnt cool

[subtle cove]

best buy = cool

[slate galleon]

doesnt matter, gl on getting one from a drop

[subtle cove]

yeah

also

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZPKQkX thoughts on this? buying a 3060 till i get a job next year, purchasing a 3080 or 3080ti next summer hopefully

[slate galleon]

I would reccommend going with a lower performance card untill then

im not an expert, but im running a gt-710 till next year for almost the same reason

[subtle cove]

the thing is i cant go like 12 months without playing MSFS 2020 at good looking settings at a decent fps

[slate galleon]

also 3070s and 3070ti are really good at running 2k games on really high graphics, so unless you want to the full 4k experience, those are good options

[slate galleon]

try a 16 series

the're not bad

[subtle cove]

eh

granted its being held back by my cpu

[slate galleon]

they will run most game, idk about maxed graphics but you can still play at a smooth level

[subtle cove]

but eh

[slate galleon]

ig

personally I would want to save the 400, but you do whatever you want

[subtle cove]

well when your 14 you dont think about other expensenses or saving money hehhee

[slate galleon]

im mean maybe save the 4 hunge so you can get the 3080 earlier

[subtle cove]

what do you think i could get like a 1660 super or somehting for then tho?

fair

[slate galleon]

im 14 too, I completly understand

idk

i havnt checked

super invlated

550 on amazon

[subtle cove]

i mean 240 sounds a lil high for 1660 super but not bad

[slate galleon]

maybe a lower level 16 series

but you do the research and see which options you like most

[subtle cove]

fair, we'll see

[slate galleon]

it is your money and computer in the end

[subtle cove]

right

[slate galleon]

what resolution are you planning to run?

[subtle cove]

1440p at high res, maybe get a larger 4k display after a while, like 2 years down the line

1440p is pretty mucha givenf or me

i also dont own that monitor its only there so i remember it

[slate galleon]

yea, so 3070 or higher is what you want for 2k

4k needs 3080

[hot folio]

Just get a prebuilt, I’ll find one good one for about it 1.7k

Give me a minute

[feral thistle]

bad deal?

its near me

[subtle cove]

lil late cough cough

[hot folio]

Why?

[subtle cove]

eh i would wait

for a better deal

[slate galleon]

prob built everything else already

[hot folio]

Yeah then just wait to get a gpu

[feral thistle]

idgaf

about the other parts

there rlly easy to get

just

[subtle cove]

cause i already own mobo, cpu, ssd, case

[feral thistle]

the gpu

[hot folio]

Wasn’t talking to you, you ain’t the only one here evotio

Was talking to higgi

[feral thistle]

ikik

[subtle cove]

hig

[hot folio]

If you need help looking for a gpu, look at the pins

[slate galleon]

honestly 1600 for the 3080 ti isnt as inflated as it could be

[subtle cove]

true

[feral thistle]

isnt

[hot folio]

Pato recently wrote up a really good message about them

[feral thistle]

the the ti

its

like uh

the same as a 3090

right?

[hot folio]

Msrp for the 3080ti is 1200?

[feral thistle]

but less v ram

[hot folio]

Yeah pretty much

[subtle cove]

didnt even know

very cool

[hot folio]

Honestly it ain’t that bad of a price, could be better, but still not the worst price I’ve seen

[subtle cove]

yeah ive seen 2500

[hot folio]

It was just pinned today

[subtle cove]

for a 3080ti

[subtle cove]

well who scrolls up

[hot folio]

Honestly if you want it and have the money for it then buy it @feral thistle

[slate galleon]

only 4 hunge over msrp so its not a complete rippoff

FE launch msrp not the brand/model

so it could be an even better deal for that specific model

[feral thistle]

i only have 1000

i just earned 100 yesterday

but

yeah i should probably get it

[hot folio]

@feral thistle If you can buy it normally the card is $1400

That’s an amazing deal

[subtle cove]

damn

impresisve

[feral thistle]

yeah

[feral thistle]

so ill probably get it

wont take that long

to earn another 600 bucks

just waste my life away rq

[hot folio]

Ask your parents if they can lend you the money you need

[feral thistle]

doing things

[subtle cove]

oh uh @hot folio what was that prebuild you said would be good for 1700? idk im waiting till 12 for music

[feral thistle]

@hot folio i have a single mom

that wouldnt help her

so gotta grind

🙏🙏

[hot folio]

It’s $1750 but here it is https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali455/p/N82E16883360039

Here’s one for 1550

Good luck friend. Do you have a PC currently?

[feral thistle]

nope

have a poopy laptop

[normal hawk]

Ah.

[hollow heath]

Hey

So I need some advice

[deft wigeon]

._.

[brave violet]

what up @hollow heath

[hollow heath]

I was thinking of buying the Zotac amp box that has a 3060 Ti inside

Should I get that and try to sell the box back or should I just wait to see if I can find something better

??

[vital oriole]

that's a scam lol

don't do that

[normal hawk]

How'd your PC die

[hollow heath]

How so lmao

[vital oriole]

it's already red flags everywhere

gpu that mismatches the box

and a box ain't worth much to sell

[hollow heath]

No no no

I mean

Zotac AMP box

The EGPU enclosure

https://www.zotacstore.com/us/amp-box-with-rtx-3060-ti-twin-edge-oc-lhr-bundle-zt-tb3box61oc-us?__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=pmd_49b11e28033c4b4a4aa7e0242e27589f212974aa-1628229646-0-gqNtZGzNAzijcnBszQpO

[lone pond]

Long shot here, but anyone use the Quadro 8000 here? Looking at getting a few for our database. Comparing that to the A6000.

[hollow heath]

Now that's some professional stuff lmao

[vital oriole]

Oh

Well pff, it's not worth the price increase

just wait for 3070 best buy drops instead

[lone pond]

Yeah, this is for work. Spec'ing out a few for our deep learning database.

Thankfully, they're easier to find since they're obviously not made for mining

[hollow heath]

How long will that take tho?

And how easily will it be to get one

[hollow heath]

Thank god

[vital oriole]

it's like every two weeks on thrusdays

and it depends on how quick you are

but shelling that much and hoping to make up with an empty egpu box isn't a good move

it'll be hard to sell that

[hollow heath]

Well it's an EGPU enclosure and they did sell for like 150 on Ebay

It's just the gamble of going on to BB and trying to get one

Every 2 weeks

I might as well buy that and be done with everything you know

[vital oriole]

well

up to you i guess

3070 is still faster than 3060ti in many cases

[hollow heath]

But how hard will it be to actually get one vs me buying that right now

[vital oriole]

not that hard

many people had their luck with bb drops

[hollow heath]

When's the next drop?

[vital oriole]

i've stated how often the drops happen already

[hollow heath]

Yes every two weeks on Thursday

But when did the last one happen lmaoooo

[vital oriole]

around that mark

well easy way to do it is

go to best buy site

keep 3070 in the cart

and watch it every day

once you see buy now button, shoot for that chance

[hollow heath]

Is there a specific time that they do it or just random

Idk it all just seems hard and random

I could be looking for a month and maybe not find anything

[normal hawk]

@hollow heath what state are you in? Is there a microcenter near you?

[hollow heath]

Florida

Nope

[lone pond]

Microcenter is the best

[brave violet]

next BB drop will be the 10th of August until the 12th of August. If it doesn't drop the 10th, then the next day. Until it happens

[hollow heath]

Oh ok thank you so much

I’ll wait until that drop

[brave violet]

if you are. have an account created, Paypal/Credit card and information all ready. Also, the cards you want. I recommend not having too many cards in case you get a card that you don't want or waste time. Also, they are only pick up only as well

[hollow heath]

I have an account with my card and even got the app on my phone

And pick up is fine

Should I wait for a 6800xt or go for a 6700xt?

[heady turtle]

Depends on price

[lone pond]

so, i currently have an asus gtx 1070, and the vram thermal pad is really worn out to the point where it's almost black and very dirty. would the gpu still work if i took out the thermal pad and put thermal paste over the vram portion?

[normal hawk]

6700xt is meh. The price is artificially lifted too high

[heady turtle]

Ehhmm i would just leave it or buy new thermal pads

[normal hawk]

Oh wow, they sold out of the 3080/3080ti EGPU on newegg

[lone pond]

also, is it possible to monitor vram temp on the 1070?

[heady turtle]

Nope

You can guesstimate or grab a thermal camera, or stick a temp probe by the mem

[lone pond]

also, i just finished replacing the thermal pad with thermal paste as an experiment ( aka peeling off the thermal pad off the metal surface it was mounted to and just putting thermal paste on the individual vram chips and then the metal cover over ) and stress tested it. no throttling, no nothing.

[magic wing]

why would you do that

[lone pond]

experimenting

i mean i searched over google to see how bad it could be, and there was no definitive answer, so i tested it out

seems to be fine for now

[magic wing]

I would get thermal pads

[lone pond]

too lazy to wait for delivery

also i tried searching for some options and they don't deliver where i live

so

but i mean

its stable

and the pc doesn't seem to be smoking yet

[heady turtle]

Amazon newegg etc deliver to you? Go on one of those and search the right mm width of thermal pads

[celest grove]

With a 650 wattage power supply, should I go for the RTX 3060? 3070 I couldn’t get my hands on if I tried.

[livid idol]

For gaming 3060 ti, but that's a unicorn too. If you're considering a 3060 keep in mind it's between the performance range of a 2070 and 2070 super. Might be worth getting one of those.

[celest grove]

Alrighty

They are both almost the price of a 3070

[livid idol]

Look local on Facebook market, Craigslist, etc. Ebay prices are trash right now.

[celest grove]

I’m looking at Benchmark stuff for the price

The msrp

[livid idol]

Reddit r/hardwareswap is decent too

[celest grove]

Also i don’t have a graphics card to behind with

[livid idol]

Msrp has no bearing on current prices for anything

[celest grove]

This is my first build

[celest grove]

I know

I’ve been looking at Best Buy and Amazon for GPU’s

[livid idol]

A used 2070 super should only be around $400 max

Amazon is a bot haven. Out of stock before you even get to see it.

[celest grove]

The 2070 super is the same price as the 3070ti right now

~$1000 on Amazon

[livid idol]

Amazon and ebay aren't even worth checking, chock full of scams and scalpers

See previous advice on where to look

I can't really find it for you in this case, normally I'd find links and such, but the rapid changes and regional differences make that impossible

[celest grove]

Damn

I’m in the US

I checked Best Buy and didn’t even see the 2070 super, only laptops and prebuilts

I’ll check out marketplace

[livid idol]

It's out of production, you'll only find it used or refurbished

[pallid coyote]

Pretty much. I got rid of my 2080 late 2019 thinking I was going to get a 3000 series and boy was I wrong. I was lucky enough to find a 2080 Super brand new for a really good price so I'm rocking that until I get a 3000 series.

[heady turtle]

You don't actually swap hardware on the Reddit, you can just buy it with PayPal goods and services

[livid idol]

2080 super is still a fantastic card. The only reason I'd see to upgrade to 3080 would be if you have a 4k monitor or something and want better dlss.

[celest grove]

damn I don’t got paypal

I’m just getting a placeholder (but good card) and waiting until the GPU market settled down in a few years

[heady turtle]

If you're buying from someone directly just make a PayPal it will take like 10 mins

[pallid coyote]

This

[livid idol]

Or deal local with cash

[heady turtle]

Forgot about local deals as Ireland is not a great place for buying 2nd hand tech, it's def gonna have to be shipped or like a 2 hour drive lol

[livid idol]

Ireland isn't a great place to find tech in general though

Not just second hand stuff

I know I've seen you complaining 😜

[heady turtle]

True but the 2nd have stuff well extremely lacking xD

[celest grove]

looking in fb marketplace made me realize how so bad this situation is

I knew it was horrible

But seeing so many people with tens of rtx 30 series and then selling them for triple the price

man

[heady turtle]

That would either be people grabbing those pics from the internet or Scalpers but i would personally only buy from a listing that is only selling 1 item, less sketch

[vital pivot]

FYI. Ekwb support is a joke.

[pallid coyote]

What happned?

[vital pivot]

Brand new AIO 240 D-RGB leaked all over. Opened a support ticket.

You have to provide video of the item. I did.

They then replied. Open a new rma.

lol

[pallid coyote]

OMG, wth

[vital pivot]

On top of that. The system is dead

I’m not sure if it was the PSU or motherboard.

[pallid coyote]

Dam

[vital pivot]

Btw. The GPu was the gigabyte 750 M. That came with a gigabyre 3070

Pfft figured

Sorry GIGABYTE 750GM. the ones that go boom.

System was for my daughter. 8700k with my 2080ti ftw3.

[vital oriole]

yikes

[pallid coyote]

wth.

[vital pivot]

The wife installed it. I didn’t know till last night

[runic crypt]

Do small shops offline tend to carry these entry-level parts?

There's a particular one around me that seems to carry mostly budget or low-end parts.

[dreamy dragon]

I am Ted#2285 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vital pivot]

@runic crypt it really depends on the shop

[hot folio]

6800xt = but it depends on the price

6800xt is 3080 perf

6700xt is 3060ti perf

[heady turtle]

Completely depends, falcie found a 3060 in a local shop but some local shops won't even sell pc parts apart from maybe ram or storage

[runic crypt]

i wanted to check the one around me just in case

[heady turtle]

Go ahead and check then

[dreamy dragon]

not hali#2229 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[runic crypt]

all right, i just gotta call them before i go over there in case they answer their phone

[visual scaffold]

What's a good GPU for Minecraft RTX 1080p?

[heady turtle]

Literally any rtx compatible card will

2060 and above

As i don't think it's supported on lower end cards

[pallid coyote]

This

[shadow barn]

asking for a friend

his gpu seems to be crashing i think and it will make the monitor Black

its not the monitor nor the cables

he switched it both and its only the gpu

[pallid coyote]

I can't read a thing with this screenshot, its so blurry

[cosmic bluff]

Has he tried updating or uninstalling and reinstalling his graphics drivers cleanly

[brave violet]

It's an NVIDIA 1650

[lone pond]

Msi one

So blurry

lmao

[vital pivot]

I crossed my eyes and banged my head on the wall

I can now clearly read it

He might still have it under warranty. I suspect the card is getting hot and causing the crashes. What are his temps if he doesn’t know have him monitor it

[dark juniper]

Anyone know why my pc won’t start up and keeps saying sum is wronge with windows

[heady turtle]

Windows is probs corrupted

[dark juniper]

What do I do ?

[heady turtle]

Can you dm me a pic of the screen it bring up?

[dark juniper]

In a sec

[heady turtle]

Yeah nb
