[vital oriole]

all suggests to laptops first

i dunno tbh

intel says 2022 lol

[heady turtle]

Hmm

[vital oriole]

just checked

[heady turtle]

If it was like q1 it would be decent

[vital oriole]

it's q1

of 2022 ofc

[heady turtle]

Nice

[vital oriole]

not too behind nvidia and amd

nvidia is rumored to come in 2022?

iirc

but for amd it's q4 2021

[heady turtle]

Should be q3/4 for Nvidia

[vital oriole]

i suspect it's q4 2021 tbh

else they gonna be behind amd

[heady turtle]

I was talking 2022 xD

[vital oriole]

oh

2022

[heady turtle]

Not sure if they gonna do super this year

[vital oriole]

well that's a big while lol

i kinda hope they either do it late this year

or early next

[heady turtle]

Unless they do super, which i kinda am doubting

If super then q3/4 2021 probs

[vital oriole]

tfw intel arc debut shows no fps in games they supposedly showed it running

i wanna see reeeee

[pallid coyote]

Same, I'm interested in seeing how it performs when it comes out

[fossil talon]

FTW3 Ultra was delayed today due to road conditions

[heady turtle]

Rip

[fossil talon]

I might hold it til I get better trade offers

Or hold it til I get the Gaming X Trio and trade 2 3080s at once

[pallid coyote]

Rip

That really sucks

[clever pagoda]

Should I get a msi bravo 15 for 800$?

[heady turtle]

A laptop i assume? Depends on the specs

[clever pagoda]

Laptop yeah

Ryzen 4000 series and a Radeon 5500m I think

[heady turtle]

5500m for 800 hell nah

[hot folio]

I think you can get a 3050 laptop for that much

[heady turtle]

The price ;-;

[hot folio]

Not really that bad of a price

Assuming each game is like $50

So $160 for games, 500 for the PS5, $70 for the controller

[heady turtle]

40$ that's like a steal for a console game

[hot folio]

That comes out to $730 if you’d buy it all normally

Oh didn’t notice the headset

How much is it?

[heady turtle]

100 iirc

Or somewhere around that

[pallid coyote]

Congrats but oof on the price

[brazen hill]

3090 aus tuf card in stock

[clever pagoda]

3050 laptops seem be 1000-1200

[hot folio]

Where and for how much?

[heady turtle]

are you talking about usd or something else?

because theres a 3060 laptop on best buy for 1100 rn

[pallid coyote]

Which is a really good price

[heady turtle]

yup pretty decent

[clever pagoda]

link?

[heady turtle]

[clever pagoda]

That'll crush almost any game

is it 300$ more perf though?

[pallid coyote]

I would just upgrade RAM to at least 16GB but that's about it and inexpensive to do

[clever pagoda]

😦 supposedly it was 949 a month ago

[pallid coyote]

Probably a sale and the shortage is worse today than a month ago

[heady turtle]

well whats your budget?

but ye

[pallid coyote]

This. Will give us a better idea of what to work with

[clever pagoda]

Just want a 1080p gamin decent laptop less than 1200 unless it's reasonable to spend more

[cerulean rover]

this should work, 10500h+3060 for 1150$
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-G5-Anti-Glare-SSD-Windows-KC-5US1130SH/dp/B0937C67FF/

and it's 105w 3060

ain't max q

pretty decent pl

[crystal gorge]

Hey, does anybody know how I can get my fans to spin on my RX 570? I turned off zero fan mode and set a costume fan curve in the raedon settings but nothing is happening.

[pallid coyote]

Up to you

Dam

[clever pagoda]

This better than that msi gf65?

[cerulean rover]

which gf65

[clever pagoda]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-gf65-15-6-144hz-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-nvidia-geforce-rtx3060-512gb-ssd-8gb-memory-black/6456144.p?skuId=6456144

[cerulean rover]

the gigabyte laptop has twice the ram

which is nice

8gb vs 16gb

[clever pagoda]

Okie thx

[muted phoenix]

Thank ya for letting me know

[clever pagoda]

Laptops are so expensive

[heady turtle]

Your poor wallet

[clever pagoda]

900$ for a PS5 tho

[heady turtle]

[clever pagoda]

Only spiderman is worth it imo

I cry cuz it's not on pc

[heady turtle]

[clever pagoda]

Seems like that G5 gets about 100 fps in most games

[heady turtle]

well

thats highly dependant on the game and on the settings

[clever pagoda]

But supposedly it's noisey or hot, idk if it matters

[heady turtle]

Sounds like a laptop

[clever pagoda]

You think they'll be a labor day sale?

[heady turtle]

a what?

similar to black friday or something?

[hollow heath]

Why does my RX 6700 XT have FPS spikes

If I wanted to trade a 6700 XT for a 3070 how much cash would I have to put up

[heady turtle]

Overheating or cpu causing stutter

[heady turtle]

What's the rest of your system specs?

[crystal gorge]

Hey, does anybody know how I can get my fans to spin on my RX 570? I turned off zero fan mode and set a costume fan curve in the raedon settings but nothing is happening. The don't even spin on start up. I think the are broken.

[hollow heath]

Ryzen 5 5600X

CX750

B550 MPG Gaming Edge

[heady turtle]

What ram?

And what cooler?

[hollow heath]

G skill ripjaws 16 GB DDR4 3600 Mhz

NZXT X63

[heady turtle]

Did you enable xmp and what temps you get and are your drivers up to date ?

[hollow heath]

No like literally with my 1080 Ti it was smoother

[heady turtle]

Did you use ddu?

[hollow heath]

Ofc lol

[heady turtle]

And you got the latest amd drivers?

[hollow heath]

Yes

[heady turtle]

Xmp enabled?

Not running at 2133 or something?

[hollow heath]

Bruh lol

[heady turtle]

Making sure

[hollow heath]

I only changed my GPU

And it's not terrible

But FPS bounces

I'm just gonna trade for a 3070

[heady turtle]

Aight

But it shouldn't be

Did you try ddu again?

[hollow heath]

Should I?

[heady turtle]

Worth a shot

[hollow heath]

I might try

If I wanted to trade for a 3070 how much would I have to put down

[heady turtle]

Ehh

Couldn't tell ya tbh mb like 100

[hollow heath]

Oh ok not bad

[keen nacelle]

Wait so they actually made the 6600xt worse than the 5700xt?

[hallow palm]

drivers might be

messed up

when i first got my 3070 it was doing about the same as my 1050 ti

[keen nacelle]

No I'm going off online benchmarks

[hollow heath]

The drivers are probably bad rn

[green harness]

Good luck. I rarely see trades going that direction

[hollow heath]

I'm putting cash on top too

[green harness]

Still

[keen nacelle]

Wait what?

You're trading both your cards for it?

[vital pivot]

You either have a bad driver install.

Or something else isn’t right to have spikes like that. How did you run DDU @hollow heath

[hollow heath]

Yes. Before I installed the RX 6700 XT I ran DDU

[heady turtle]

In safe mode with basically everything checked?

I'd run again prob bad install

[hollow heath]

Wait

Is it called Driver easy now?

Should I do it in safe mode?

[green harness]

Yes, for best results you do it in safe mode

[heady turtle]

Nope still ddu

[heady turtle]

Yes

@hollow heath https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-v18042-released

[hollow heath]

Oh ok ok

I'll try to do that in a bit again

I did DDU without safe mode so idk

[green harness]

They have step by step instructions iirc and tell you to do it in safe mode in the program

[heady turtle]

Safe mode important

[hollow heath]

Oh ok

Ok I’m in safe mode trying to DDU

[vital pivot]

Don’t thing we are picking on you dude. I am sure we all want the same thing. The best system you can have.

[hollow heath]

Do I DDU Nvdia or AMD?

Yeah no I get what you mean

[vital pivot]

Do them both

[hollow heath]

Oh ok

Do I do like clean do not restart for Nvidia and clean and restart for AMD

[vital pivot]

You should be able to do both at the same time. But to be careful you can do them separately

[hollow heath]

Yeah I did both separately

[vital pivot]

Just got the fail mail from Newegg

😦

I’m still trying for the ps5 that rommy stole from me

Yeah that’s mostly what they have

Well.

I’m really thinking about scrapping it

As now I have to buy my daughter a new car.

😦

But on the bright side. She wants a stick.

Yep

My only kid. So she gets what she wants for the most part.

Unfortunately. Late model used cars are costing as much as a new car.

Well. She was that way as well

Until she was forced to drive due to conflicting schedules

Heh. My dad was pretty much blind when he quit driving

[keen nacelle]

Yeah covid didn't only affect gpu supply lines

Used cars are being quote on quote scalped as well

I've been trying to find one for around the 5000$ range since I'm going to be able to drive soon, and I can't find anything

[vital pivot]

Oh trust me. In my line of work I am well aware of shortages and price increases.

[keen nacelle]

Got a summer job just so I could buy one, seems I'll have to wait a while

[vital pivot]

True. The best deal is to find one that a owner os selling directly

[keen nacelle]

My brother got a Ford escape last summer for 5k

47000 miles on it in pretty nice shape

My sister got a Nissan centra like 5 years ago for 5k with 5k miles on it

[vital pivot]

I’m probably getting a Kia Forte GT Manual.

[keen nacelle]

I have no clue what I'm going to get

Preferable not a truck, hopefully with a bit of space in it, but beggers can't be choosers

I'll take whatever works and is safe, and won't take me 5 years to pay my parents back for

[hollow heath]

Yeah it still occasionally dips

Like it would be at 400 then dip for like a second or 2 to like 70

[vital pivot]

Hmm. What type of drive are you using.

[hollow heath]

Like storage drive?

[vital pivot]

Yes

[hollow heath]

Sabrent Rocket 1 TB NVME SSD

I'm pretty sure it's the GPU my 1080 Ti didn't dip like that

[vital pivot]

What other apps are running in the background.

[hollow heath]

Discord

An app called Voice Meeter

But I was doing that with my 1080 Ti too

[vital pivot]

You run multi monitors?

[hollow heath]

Yes

[vital pivot]

Open up task manager and set it for see more

Nice it to your other screen and leave it on top and run the game

Which game are you playing

[hollow heath]

Fortnite

[vital pivot]

Set the resources to processes and click see more at the bottom

[hollow heath]

I set the FPS limit to 240 and it dipped to 54 then 70 then back to normal

Resources?

In task manager?

Like literally looking around it would dip below 100 sometimes

[keen nacelle]

Maybe fortnite is poorly optimized for amd cards

[hollow heath]

Maybe

[keen nacelle]

Try another game?

[hollow heath]

I wanna trade for a 3070 but idk who would want to

Yeah I'm gonna try another game

[keen nacelle]

Use hardwareswap, you could either sell the 1080 ti and use the cash + your 6700xt or trade both, you could probably get a better card for the 6700xt with cash though

R/hardwareswap

[vital pivot]

Read that page @hollow heath

[hollow heath]

Ohhh I see

[hollow heath]

Yeah I'm selling my 1080 Ti probably tomorrow

Then trading my 6700 XT plus cash for a 3070

[keen nacelle]

I'd say 300$ at max to add for that trade

What model 6700xt again?

[hollow heath]

Reference

[keen nacelle]

Market is so f'ed

Even a 3060 ti fe lhr is going for more than reference 6700xt

[vital pivot]

Yep

From reading it appears to be fixable.

[hollow heath]

Hmm interesting

Wait what's the fix

[willow wadi]

just quit fortnite

[hollow heath]

Lmaooo

How does the 3070 handle CPU intense games

[hot folio]

@hollow heath Bring up your minimum core clock to about 100 below the max, that’s what fixed it back when I had my 6700xt

[hollow heath]

How do I do that?

Wait

Someone told me

RX 6700 XT and 350 for a 3070 Ti

[violet kestrel]

is a 1050 ti better than a 1650?

[solemn panther]

1650 is better

About 10-20ish more fps at 1080p

Vram is the same on both

On 4gb..sad

[hollow heath]

How do I do that

[hot folio]

Radeon software

[hollow heath]

Yeah I'm here

Min frequency by 100?

The least is 500

[hot folio]

What’s your max frequency?

[hollow heath]

Rn it says 2629

[hot folio]

So bring min frequency to 2529

[hollow heath]

Oh ok

Let me try to play

It seems to be better

It dipped once but nothing major

So far so good

Honestly they might eventually fix it right? Lmaoo

[runic crypt]

Hey, my GT 1030 seems to be coming in about 2-3 days from now. It'll be nice to stop my CPU from hurting.

[pallid coyote]

Huh?

[runic crypt]

the gt 1030 i ordered last friday

it's close

pato helped me realize that i got robbed for a dino called the gt 730, and the 1030 was the card i got instead

[pallid coyote]

I meant why is your CPU hurting?

[runic crypt]

It's not, that was a joke.

[vital pivot]

He’s using the cpu as his video

[runic crypt]

yeah that is right... for now

[hollow heath]

My frames are hurting

[hot folio]

My comfort is hurting, my room is too hot

[hollow heath]

Lmaooo

[pallid coyote]

First world problem right here. Lol

That sucks though

[hot folio]

Serves me right for investing too much money into cooling

At least I’m set for the winter

[livid idol]

Yeah I rarely run my heater in the winter. Before I did mining to keep things hot I did protein folding. Back in college my roommate was always surprised how warm my room was compared to the rest of the house with snow outside.

I even had the window open lol

[runic crypt]

Wait, you mined specifically to keep the room warm? That's clever.

[livid idol]

Well more recently it's mining. Folding@home was what I did before. Hopefully I helped cure something.

[runic crypt]

But the thing about winter weather is that you can dress up, not down.

Nice.

[livid idol]

I'm in shorts year round unless my job has a dress code or there's a special event

[hot folio]

I’m in jeans or dress pants year round

I hate the summer lol

[normal hawk]

So close to being done with my deployment 🥺

[keen nacelle]

180 for 5600x

dream of that

dude is a miner for sure

wants lhr for near msrp

or even msrp

greedy miner smh

yeah

he's the bad part of miners

i still mine but not for dogecoin

nicehash gives me that nice btc

mhm

[wary anvil]

4th gen

No technically, it's just fourth gen with a five in the front running on the third major iteration of the architecture

Nothing confusing about that at all AMD 🤣

[keen nacelle]

I mine using an app called salad, since i can't make a coinbase account. I get my money put into my account, don't get any eth or anything but actual money, I can pull it out in gift cards, games and such

Have 200$ in my acc rn

Make like 4$ a day

[vital oriole]

nice

i have everything for nicehash so im set

just borrowin dad's stuff lmao

[old narwhal]

Hi guys! For a gtx 1660 super should I get 1080p monitor 144hz or 1440p 144hz?

[keen nacelle]

Depends, if you plan to upgrade within a year 1440p, if not definitely 1080p

Also depends on what you plan to upgrade to

2070s is what I'd reccomend minimum for 1440p

[old narwhal]

Not planning to upgrade my gpu because here on my place the gpu is overpriced :(

[keen nacelle]

Anything 3070/6800 or better should definitely be 1440p

Then 100% 1080p

[old narwhal]

Great thanks!!

[normal hawk]

Today was the last day working at the APO ☺️ so much closer to being homebound. Gonna be so nice working on the new PC's

Boy. That new fractal design case is overpriced.

[vital oriole]

yes

Amazing airflow tho

[vital pivot]

Oh.

Add this to your 1440p notes.

A 1080/1080ti will handle 1440p fine. You won’t get 120fps in several games but it hits it fine in most

[spare relic]

did he listen doe

👀

issue?

[heady turtle]

But it good, seems to be the trend with the best performing things nowadays

[spare relic]

ah

[heady turtle]

Good

Rip hands tho

[spare relic]

I kinda want a laptop but I have not the cash monies

just a 500 dollar type machine, quad core with an ssd and 16gb ram

someting to match my pc in cpu performance or be slightly behind

no dgpu

[vital pivot]

When purchasing laptops. I always say get the one loaded that are within your budget.

[keen nacelle]

I had a predator triton 4000 (400? Don't remember) it would go up to 86+° on gpu, and it had a 2070 super max q

[heady turtle]

are you fo real?

[keen nacelle]

Awful laptop

[vital pivot]

Because upgrading will be harder after purchase

[keen nacelle]

What's the budget?

Also what gpu does it have?

[normal hawk]

Do you have a budget for the laptop? Or are you broke broke

[keen nacelle]

And it really gets that hot? Wow

Still

You tried a cooling pad?

[spare relic]

no I don't have a budget why do you ask 😎

I built my pc not long ago so I

[normal hawk]

If i get a laptop I'm getting a M1 MacBook lol. Not trying gaming laptops anymore

[keen nacelle]

A cooling pad fixed my brothers heat issues

Ew, mac

[spare relic]

'm not going to be spending for a while

[keen nacelle]

I might buy an older used gaming laptop for my bday, just so I can play some light games when not in my room

And if I go on vacation or smthn

[normal hawk]

M1 is the superior mobile CPU right now Ngl 🤷‍♂️

[keen nacelle]

Still an apple product

I will never touch apple

[spare relic]

i's really cold here rn

https://tenor.com/view/sweep-cold-shiver-gif-7676776

[keen nacelle]

I won a Mac m1 mini a while ago, sold it immediately. I still had a 3470 and gt 1030

I'd rather have that over an apple product

[normal hawk]

It depends on the usage

[keen nacelle]

How are the new macs gpus?

Like the m1 pro, m1 mini

[normal hawk]

They are comparable to intels integrated graphics I'm pretty sure 🤷‍♂️ I'll look for gaming benchmarks

[keen nacelle]

Ew

[normal hawk]

I wouldn't game on it though

[keen nacelle]

Yeah ik

[normal hawk]

Do you mean the 5000G series?

[keen nacelle]

Still nice to have atleast some gpu to work with

[normal hawk]

Everything except the 5300g

True

I'd wait for the RDNA2 APU's that were rumored for next gen.

who

[nova marlin]

Does anyone know if a i5-11400F wil heavily bottleneck a Sapphire Nitro RX 480 4gb? I want to upgrade my cpu, but don’t have money to also upgrade my gpu. Any suggestions?

[keen nacelle]

11400f is even enough for a 3080

[heady turtle]

Decent pairing but don't worry bought bottlenecks

[heady turtle]

Ehh debatable

[keen nacelle]

At 1440p?

[heady turtle]

Ehh depends, also remember someone who buying a 3080 should be getting 8c atm cuz they probs gonna be multi tasking a bit

[nova marlin]

I mean it the other way around, is rx 480 enough for i5-11400F

[keen nacelle]

I mean not really, I'd probably get a cheaper cpu and try to upgrade gpu if you're on a small budget, but you could also get thr 11400f and upgrade gpu later on if you want to

Imo anyways

[spare relic]

I have absolutely no reservations towards bottlenecking

[heady turtle]

Yes it is

[spare relic]

if I get a 3090 I'm pairing it with my i5-4460

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/woman-of-culture-gif-20099443

[keen nacelle]

I'd rather have a bottleneck on the cpu over the gpu

What gpu?

Nice

How much it cost?

My guy sitting on a whole college fund

The only gpus I've ever had are my 3060 ti, my old 1030, and my brothers 1030 that i sold for him

Back when I found out how badly skytech screwed me and I was going to sell my parts instead of having someone build it, I tried to do a fair market price

Since the money was going back into the build

I needed enough to pay for a new pre built, but I ended up not selling anything and just having a local pc shop build me a basically new pc

No regrets on having them build it, I woulda broken smthn

And its better quality than any pre built I would've bought

I didn't want to risk it

Especially with how little I knew about pcs

I got into the pc world less than a year ago

I should add more p12s to my build

My gpu idles at like 45

Idk my cpu temps

I actually didn't break anything in this pc somehow

Like a month after they built it I realized how bad the cpu cooler skytech gave me was

So I replaced it, while doing so I dropped a screw driver like 3 times on the mobo

Somehow it didn't break

F

How'd you manage that one

Oof

[spare relic]

[keen nacelle]

Idek where I should add fans to my case

There's like 4 more slots for them

Tho I'll either need non pwm fans or I'd have to connect splitters to splitters

Coolermaster n400, 2 intake 2 outtake, 2 artic p12pwm and 2 stock fans

I have one opposite the heatsink on the removable panel, and one next to the heatsink

The stock fans are at the front side of the case where the power button is

Sorry if that makes no sense im not great at describing layouts lol

Not add more?

Idle like 45, mining around 50 with 55% power limit -502 on core, playing cold war earlier I think like 62

I'm not sure on cpu Temps

I think somewhere around 70 but I'd have to check

I believe so

no but why not add more fans instead of swapping those 2 out?

i could just get now pwm artic p12s, and i have room for 1 more pwm with a splitter

4 in total

2 by the heatsink

0 on the actual top of the case

2 in the front

give me a bit

ill send pictures after this game of valorant

it has a dust blocker thing

do i take that off?

uhh

i think pin thingies

And then one across from the heatsink

Ignore the cpu cooler

That's gone

Connected with those things

yeah

no but the fans cant connect through the filter

take it off?

yeah

i was gonna put 1 up there but figured the filter was important

nah i havent moved it at all lol

not more than a few inches

not that i could tell

its a pretty cheap case compared to decent ones

yeah

the stock fans are gonna be annoying af to replace tho

in an awkward place to unscrew

the case?

yeah and i spent 80$ on it

only case my local pc shop had that was itx

atx? whichever is bigger

didnt feel like waiting for one to come online

same thing with psu

way overpayed for an evga 750w bq

didnt know about it tho

didnt know it was overpriced

i spent 150$ on it :P

yeah

cant change it so whatever

jesus

oh i was wondering

what would happen if i put a second fan on the back of my heatsink?

as in having 2 fans for the cpu cooler

[bitter jungle]

Smh

[bitter jungle]

Better cooling if anything, but there’s probably not enough of a point

[spare relic]

I'm a fan

[bitter jungle]

Are you using it on the 3080 Ti

[spare relic]

of fans :)

[bitter jungle]

Ok cool

RMx better than G+

G3 moment

[spare relic]

oof

ooooh

:(

I guess wrong

😔

just a little spritzer that goes every half hour

squelch squelch

how does that overload a circuit 😩

I wish I had

I just have a random uhh

[clever pagoda]

Anyone know a laptop like this that's on sale?
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-G5-Anti-Glare-SSD-Windows-KC-5US1130SH/dp/B0937C67FF/

This was 50$ cheaper yesterday lol

[spare relic]

prices go

[opal iron]

If the price went up though wouldn’t it be

[rustic pulsar]

AMD 6600XT is compatible with B460 mb right?

[hot folio]

Yeah

[heady turtle]

Ye ofc but don't buy b460 if possible

[rustic pulsar]

I already have it

[heady turtle]

AHH

[rustic pulsar]

I won shuffle so yee

[heady turtle]

Autocorrect ;-;

[hot folio]

How is the 6600xt?

[heady turtle]

Decent

[keen nacelle]

worse than a 3060

[hot folio]

How is it worse than a 3060?

[keen nacelle]

its like 5% worse

according to benchmarks i saw yesterday

[hot folio]

most benchmarks ive seen say otherwise

[keen nacelle]

maybe what i saw was wrong

but idts

[hot folio]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OAPoDYpWr8

[rustic pulsar]

And ordered, 6600XT on the way!

Is there a good website that compares gpu performance similar to UserBenchmark

[twilit magnet]

wow 6600xt routinely got 10-20 fps higher. Was not expecting that. But none of those scenes had ray tracing enabled if I'm not mistaken so that's something to take into account.

[rustic pulsar]

whats a good one

[spare relic]

nothing 😎

go into it blind and buy whatever you first click on

[hot folio]

Do y’all think I could run a 3700x/6800xt and 2070 off a 750watt PSU?

[spare relic]

https://tenor.com/view/chizuru-hishiro-confused-what-chizuru-hishiro-gif-12465920

[hot folio]

For mining

Not SLI or anything like that

[spare relic]

should probably run with two units at that point

idk maybe fine

[hot folio]

My only other mobo rn I have is in a pc I’m trying to sell

[keen nacelle]

niceee

[hot folio]

Niceee

[keen nacelle]

i wouldnt try it

actually

for minign maybe

since you limit the power anyways

[hot folio]

I’d have to buy a riser cable for it so I’m not going to

My other gpu PCie slot is covered by fans

And partially by a 3 slot card

[keen nacelle]

you could do it tho, 300w.+90w,+215, idk if id reccomend it though

cuz thats 615. only 135 for everything else to run

wait no

605

i math well

[heady turtle]

emmmmmmmm its def pushing it

[keen nacelle]

@sterile parcel im playing valorant, my 3600 is at 58

i thought ti was higher

would case fans improve gpu temps?

noticably anyways

[heady turtle]

Wdym ?

[keen nacelle]

it*

we were talking about fan temps

fan temps?

temps

and adding more fans

[heady turtle]

Ahh depends but usually

[keen nacelle]

i just mean in general

if its at 60 i doubt itll go over 75

[keen nacelle]

Yeah neither does my 3060 ti but it gets hot here in the summer, and my gpu is getting up to 52 on core while mining with 100 on fans

[finite oak]

How much do you thing a used gtx 1070 with a custom backplate used go for?

[pallid coyote]

Pre-Covid 150 to 250. Post Covid, I've seen people try to charge between 150 to 450. Some higher but obviously don't buy it for that price

[finite oak]

So around 500 or lower friend needs to know

[pallid coyote]

Honestly, I wouldn't buy a gtx 1070 for 450. I bought one for under 200 but hey, if he can sell it for a good price, by all means

[finite oak]

He kinda wants this but idk

There asking 650 for it

And if he gets that he would just swap the gpu out

[vital pivot]

Too much. I have that sitting in a box atm.

It should be $649.99

🙂

That is a nice back plate. But yeah better suited for a console player

[finite oak]

He need a desktop he can not stand playing on console anymore

[vital pivot]

Try r/hardwareswap on Reddit

[pallid coyote]

Way too high for a CPU and GPU that are pretty old

[normal hawk]

[clever pagoda]

I just want a laptop to play something like Stellaris or kingdom hearts at 1080p or just decent

[cerulean rover]

stellaris is fun

didn't I give you a 1150$ laptop that had 10500+3060

[clever pagoda]

Ye but it went up 50$ lol

[cerulean rover]

still good

[vital pivot]

anyone ever play Star Citizen?

[proper laurel]

I've come to the conclusion that buying a pre-built pc just to get a new gpu is less expensive then buying the gpu by itself..

[vital oriole]

Not always

Sometimes you could get lucky with say, evga queue or newegg shuffle

But if I were to do that, I'd get a prebuilt instead of building whole thing

Could always swap parts

[normal hawk]

If i was home i would for sure play the free play days

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3090-gv-n3090ixeb-24gd/p/N82E16814932385

Lol external 3090

[winged grotto]

kek you don't get lucky in evga queue, you wait...

for an eternity

[spare relic]

true enough

[keen nacelle]

Can confirm

Blocked that kid over it lmao

He just sits as his pc 24/7 since he has nothing better to do, and then sells a 3060 for what 3070s are going for lmfao

That's what happens when you let the Xbox do the parenting

I entered shuffle 38 times, didn't win any. Was entering to sell my card at cost to someone who needed it, but I tried to buy smthn from newegg and they decided to suspend my account

[spare relic]

I went for the common loot

[keen nacelle]

And you need your account number to get it back

[spare relic]

970

[keen nacelle]

For whatever reason

So that's not happening

[spare relic]

can't be bothered with the legendary

[keen nacelle]

It's actually happened to THREE accounts

Which I don't understand

Tried to buy smthn, one using my brothers PayPal, one with my dads credit card, and one with mine

But newegg decided nah, ima suspend this guy's account

[spare relic]

f

[hollow heath]

Are 6700 XTs still unstable? Lmao

First it was coil whine

Now it’s my FPS dipping far

[spare relic]

sounds like you need a slightly older driver

or sum

and capping the framerates helps alleviate whine

[hollow heath]

The whine is pretty much gone

And yeah probably a driver issue

I just want it fixed ):

[keen nacelle]

What ram are you using? I had a similar issue when I mixed ram kits

[deft wigeon]

Hey

@keen nacelle

[keen nacelle]

Hi?

[deft wigeon]

Question

Well not really

[keen nacelle]

Answer

[deft wigeon]

But there’s a 3060 ti in stock

[keen nacelle]

How much?

[deft wigeon]

And it was 889

[keen nacelle]

Nahh

[deft wigeon]

But when I clicked on it

It said it was 479

[keen nacelle]

Uhh

On what site?

[deft wigeon]

Newegg

[keen nacelle]

I'm not sure

That's weird

[deft wigeon]

I think the prices just dropped

I swear it said it was 900 dollars

[keen nacelle]

You could buy it and if it charges 889$ just cancel the order or call customer support, that screen shot will help you

[deft wigeon]

Ok

I think the prices changed tho

[keen nacelle]

Maybe

Idk

I'm unfamiliar with buying on newegg, as they love to delete my accounts

[deft wigeon]

Oh

[keen nacelle]

Whenever I try buying something

[deft wigeon]

Anyway that’s it. Get some rest ..—..

[keen nacelle]

I explained it up here if you care

I slept from 9-2 but I prolly should, I have work today lol

[deft wigeon]

Damn

Must suck

[pale latch]

hello, i'm trying to buy a decent graphics card for 1440p, budget about 1000aud, what are some decent options that aren't sold out? I originally wanted to try and get a 3070 but it looks like I may have to settle for a 3060ti, not sure

[vital oriole]

3060ti is decent too

it's not that far slower than 3070

at 1440p that is

but 3070 would be the best

[pale latch]

does the model matter too much? like the different 3060ti models etc?

[normal hawk]

Eh, if your case has decent air flow i don't think so

[vital oriole]

^

If you only game even a zotac is fine

[keen nacelle]

But zotac is pre scalping

[normal hawk]

Price and availability > brand and model

[keen nacelle]

So if you're going for msrp zotac would be one of the last choices

[vital oriole]

but if we talk 4k however

3070 and 3060ti are equal

[keen nacelle]

Gigabyte I think is doing the same, but their gpus aren't as bad as zotacs so I haven't heard much on them (though they definitely aren't good, cough cough eagle cough)

[vital oriole]

same 8 gigs vram limits em

[keen nacelle]

Yeah but should either really be doing 4k?

[vital oriole]

they could

just not maxed out

[keen nacelle]

They can, yes

But not much if a point

[vital oriole]

true

[keen nacelle]

Oh how's the 3070 ti in 4k?

I never payed attention to it

[normal hawk]

Gigabyte isn't prescalping them so much as only putting them in bundles with awful components

[keen nacelle]

Ah

[vital oriole]

lemme check

with cyberpunk 2077 as a reference, it gets 31 fps at 4k

a bit over 3070

[keen nacelle]

Jeez

[vital oriole]

then again 3070ti has 8 gigs vram too

[keen nacelle]

Oh I thought it had 10

[normal hawk]

Gigabyte's 3090's have been bundled with only expensive mobos now. Like 1000+ $

[vital oriole]

but it's only a few fps faster than 3070

even at 1080p

[normal hawk]

So I'm glad i got mine with a cheaper Mobo 🤔

[vital oriole]

1440p for example

[keen nacelle]

My gigabyte gaming oc pro came in my pre build

[vital oriole]

seems 3080 is better buy?

or maybe even 3080ti

than 3070

[keen nacelle]

Makes sense that it'd get half the frames in 4k, since it's double the pixels

[vital oriole]

but lemme check other games

same small perf diff

dang

it repeats in every games tpu reviewed

[normal hawk]

This is the Mobo that all of their 3090's have been bundled with lately. It's 1600$

[vital oriole]

lol

that's basically unwanted

forces people to go water

[normal hawk]

All of their 3090's sold out in the last few days on Newegg. But it could have been like 1 of each

MSI has been bundling theirs with Oloy ram sets

[pale latch]

so, basically just go for the cheapest 3060ti or 3070 that's not a zotac?

[normal hawk]

The MSI Gaming and MSI Ventus

[vital oriole]

zotac is fine too

[normal hawk]

Well if Zotac is the cheapest it works too

[vital oriole]

but avoiding em if possible is ok

[keen nacelle]

Yeah just make sure you have good cooling

[vital oriole]

if cheapest get zotac

[keen nacelle]

Foxy I was wondering

Does cooling affect how far you can oc a gpu?

[vital oriole]

yes

[keen nacelle]

Or just performance overall

[vital oriole]

performance overall too

to an extent for both oc and perf

silicon limit is another thing once cooling is plenty

[pale latch]

hm

[keen nacelle]

I'm going to add more p12s to my case, was wondering if it'd help that much

[vital oriole]

which case?

[keen nacelle]

It sits at ~62 under time spy

[vital oriole]

and how many fans, in which setup are there?

[normal hawk]

That's not too bad

[vital oriole]

what each ones do too

[keen nacelle]

Only 2 p12s pwm and 2 case fans

2 intake 2 outtake

Coolermaster n400

[normal hawk]

62C is a good temp.

[keen nacelle]

One is next to the cpu heatsink, one is across from it on the removable panel

[pale latch]

https://tenor.com/view/calculation-math-hangover-allen-zach-galifianakis-gif-6219070

[keen nacelle]

2 stock fans on the front mesh

Sorry, not time spy

Cold war

[vital oriole]

hm it could help

[normal hawk]

It'd only lower it by like, 2° max

[vital oriole]

but yeah

[keen nacelle]

Oof

[vital oriole]

it would lower by a few c only

not needed unless you're fine with paying

[keen nacelle]

What about cpu Temps? I sit at 62 max 57 min (via hwmonitor) with valorant

[vital oriole]

that's good too

[keen nacelle]

I think around 74 under full load

[vital oriole]

fans at the top as exhaust might help

[normal hawk]

What CPU cooler do you have?

[keen nacelle]

Id cooling se-224xt

Used to be this

Anyways, there's a p12 to the left of the cpu

And one across from it

[normal hawk]

Could upgrade that to a noctua or hyperx 212

[keen nacelle]

More concerned with gpu Temps anyways, i just upgraded it 3 months ago and it was a headache

Nearly broke my mobo doing so cause I'm clumsy af

[normal hawk]

If i break my 3090 imma cry that's for sure.

[keen nacelle]

Rma pog

I've somehow never broken a pc part

Even taking the 1030 out of my old pc

[normal hawk]

I may or may not have broken a 3900x 🤔 as far as amazon knows it showed up like that

[keen nacelle]

Lmao

[normal hawk]

They replaced it really quickly though.

[keen nacelle]

ima run cold war just to double check my temps

not gonna be able to go back to sleep anyways

yeah max temp of 71 on cpu, 60 on gpu

[normal hawk]

Not bad

[keen nacelle]

yeah thought they were higher

dont have rtx on

since it sucks on cw

1080p

[normal hawk]

RTX in cod on day maps only uses the sun as a light source. So the only map in CW that would make sense is Miami or whatever.

[keen nacelle]

bad map

i quit playing for like 4 months 2 days ago was the firstt ime i got on lol

[normal hawk]

And when you're playing anyway there's no way to really enjoy the features.

Since it's a fairly fast paced game

[keen nacelle]

yeah

[normal hawk]

Racing games are the only faster paced game where RTX makes sense to me.

Do you have dirt 5?

[keen nacelle]

nah

[hollow heath]

3600 mhz gskill

2 x 8

[keen nacelle]

ah nvm then

[hollow heath]

Yeah idk maybe just a driver issue

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4315712

MSI Ventus 3090 bundle. This is the cheapest one but there's like 4 or 5 different ones with different ram kits.

[timid narwhal]

That sure is some ugly RAM

[normal hawk]

Lol

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4315715

Is that better?

[heady turtle]

My problem with that is ventus 3090 not the ram

[normal hawk]

Same price as the Aorus Elite 3090 🤷‍♂️

[timid narwhal]

yes. 😆

[normal hawk]

Nah it didn't i found it

[heady turtle]

Then get the aourus elite

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3090-gv-n3090ixeb-24gd/p/N82E16814932385

[normal hawk]

I already bought the Aorus Elite lol

[heady turtle]

Ohh egpu

Ohh lol

[normal hawk]

Not this one

[heady turtle]

Why you looking then?

[normal hawk]

Cause I can find them 🤷‍♂️

[magic wing]

why do you want them tho lol

[normal hawk]

I'm not buying them. Just sharing info

I see the 3080 ti's and 3090's in stock. Occasionally 3080's and share them for those still looking

But also I'm watching Incase there's a good deal as I am looking to upgrade the GPU in my racing sim (5700 XT)

As of right now I'm thinking XFX Speedster 6900xt. 🤷‍♂️

But if something pops up at a better price point I might change my mind.

Also might just wait for the next gen.

[heady turtle]

Ahh

[timid narwhal]

gorgeous card. mate of mine has it. very happy

[normal hawk]

There are no lights on it right? Would be nice for a non RGB build at that point.

[timid narwhal]

this photo implies that the names and logos light up. but you can turn it off

[normal hawk]

Ah nice nice

[timid narwhal]

come to South Africa, you can buy it for the equivalent of USD1800

[normal hawk]

On Newegg it's 1700USD

What kinda scam is this?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CTNTN9R/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_CR0KGXE14TH1NYF40X10

Old mining card?

[timid narwhal]

newegg is confusing... on the list is says 1799, but when I click "view details"

its says 1699?

[normal hawk]

It looks like an ASRock Phantom Gaming D and ships from china lol

The first one is probably not sold by Newegg. The 1699 one is

[timid narwhal]

nah bro, I click on the top one, and opens the second page

[timid narwhal]

https://www.puppyloveproducts.com/products/imaczi-red-devil-amd-radeon-rx-6900-xt-gaming-graphics-card-with-16gb-gddr6-memory-powered-by-amd-rdna-2-raytracing-pci-express-4-0-hdmi-2-1-amd-infinity-cache

wtf?

[normal hawk]

If you select "sold by Newegg" you won't get the ones from china. Which is what it's showing first for some reason

[normal hawk]

And yeah, these have to be mining cards lol.

It sent the wrong screen shot before

[timid narwhal]

I see. thanks bud

[magic wing]

dont get any aib amd card tbh

all are overpriced

either buy from amd direct or look for an nvidia card

[normal hawk]

Was gonna sell my 5700xt to cover the difference. 🤷‍♂️

[vital oriole]

the ones that are restocked are stupid expensive

sadly

msrp ones are rare

[magic wing]

doesnt make the card any less overpriced lol

[normal hawk]

True true.

[magic wing]

ull have more money in ur hand if you buy from amd direct or look for nvidia lol

[normal hawk]

Well i mean most of the 3080 ti's and 3080's i see in stock are more expensive than the XFX speedster or are restricted to bundles making them more expensive.

And the lack of DLSS support in racing games asides from F1 2020 and 2021 kinda cuts that advantage imo.

[magic wing]

last I checked wegg wasnt the only store that sold gpus

check the pins

[normal hawk]

I know it's not. But unless i want to camp outside of best buy or MC the rest get botted fairly often.

[magic wing]

the latest pin might prove a little educative

[normal hawk]

Besides evga's queue what i said applies to all of those

Zotac - costs more than the 6900xt I'm looking at

Microcenter - got to camp outside

Amd direct - Gets botted

Best buy - online gets botted, store has to camp outside.

[magic wing]

Gets botted doesnt mean its impossible for humans to get one lmao

[normal hawk]

I know it's not impossible. Competing with bots just makes it irritating especially when they make the website laggy.

[magic wing]

lol

sure

[normal hawk]

I've had a PS5 in my cart on Walmart several times. But the bots get it to lag

[magic wing]

walmart wasnt amd or best buy last i checked

could be wrong

idk

[normal hawk]

I've had both amd and best buy lag during restocks

[magic wing]

so?

[normal hawk]

I used WalMart because that's the one that's the most infuriating because of how far I managed to get

[magic wing]

join a few servers that notify when restock

tons of gamers get cards lol

bots dont mean you stop trying

[spare relic]

gamer

ing

I haven't even been playing for 7 hours

damn

[normal hawk]

Who said i stopped trying?

You must have missed the entire conversation i had

[normal hawk]

🤔

[magic wing]

That doesnt mean ur actively trying lol

[keen nacelle]

Im not sure if you're meaning to, but you're coming off rude asf

[magic wing]

tbh im saying it like it is

[keen nacelle]

You're saying it like a jerk, for lack of a better word I can say here

[magic wing]

eh cba to sugar coat things

[keen nacelle]

Difference between having a real conversation and sugar coating something

"Last I checked Walmart wasn't amd direct or best buy, lol" you could just say "they're different sites" ,you don't need to be a jerk to get your point across

[magic wing]

the gpu situation is what it is. looking at a specific card isnt something you have the privilege for anymore. look for whatever you can get

[keen nacelle]

When you have solid cards yes you do lol

No need to rush when you have a 2070s, 3090, and a 5700xt

[normal hawk]

And a 3080^

[magic wing]

if you had a solid card, you wouldnt need an upgrade

[keen nacelle]

Difference between needing and wanting

If you're going to be rude then just don't comment

[magic wing]

exactly

[normal hawk]

Hence why I'm in also in no rush

[keen nacelle]

I want a slightly better card, but bc I have a solid card I'm not in a rush

I dont need it

[magic wing]

in that case I would wait for next gen

[keen nacelle]

So I have the leisure of choosing

[magic wing]

ironic

[keen nacelle]

What have I said that's rude? Calling you out on what you've said?

[magic wing]

picking an unecessary fight lol

[keen nacelle]

Lmao you were being rude to a nice person, so I said smthn

That isn't picking a fight

[magic wing]

agreed. the stuff that came after it was

[keen nacelle]

I responded to exactly what you said

Wasn't a single rude part of it

[magic wing]

anyway im gonna head because i don wanna fight

continue if u want

[cerulean rover]

it is what it is

[cunning sapphire]

whats the best gpu for £350

hopefully to run PCVR Games well

i was thinking 1660 super but i wanted to make sure

[magic wing]

Look second hand for that price

maybe a 1070 or something

[heady turtle]

If you manage it, a 3060

[cunning sapphire]

1070 > 1660 super ?

[magic wing]

yes

unless u stream

[cunning sapphire]

no i dont

[pallid coyote]

Yes

[cunning sapphire]

is this even possible

[magic wing]

then 1070 better

[heady turtle]

Yep

[cunning sapphire]

for £350

[magic wing]

check pins

[pallid coyote]

You have to be patient, but its possible

[heady turtle]

Msrp is 300£

So ye

Just patience

And sprinkle of luck

[cunning sapphire]

so wait for things like this to be back in stock

will it be bottlenecked by my 10400F?

uh

DONT click that link

idk if i shoould ping mods

[keen nacelle]

Stfu bot

[magic wing]

no

[cunning sapphire]

okay thanks 🙂

[magic wing]

10400f can do 3080 tbh

[cunning sapphire]

should i look preowned too?

im not sure how reliable ebay and stuff is

[magic wing]

you can if you want

[cunning sapphire]

i currenntly have a low profile msi gtx 1050ti 4GB

i assume the jump to 3060 will be huge

[magic wing]

indeed

[heady turtle]

I wouldn't, could be okay but could definitely bottleneck depending on setting etc

[magic wing]

it would be ok just not optimal

[heady turtle]

Aye

[heady turtle]

Bad match tho

[pallid coyote]

Yup, I would go with at least an i7 to get somewhat closer to the 3080.

[tepid mist]

but vrheadset is so costly

[keen nacelle]

11600k or 9900k is also fine

[pallid coyote]

As long as you use PayPal to buy things on eBay, you can create a ticket if the seller sells you something that is broken or scams you.

[keen nacelle]

10700k, 10700,

Basically anything around that perf

[pallid coyote]

Pretty much

[heady turtle]

PayPal goods and services ONLY*****

[pallid coyote]

If you're buying from eBay, its ONLY PayPal goods and service

[heady turtle]

Ahh good

[cunning sapphire]

i already have a vr headset

[heady turtle]

Just incase they try to get them to pay family and friends for some reason

[pallid coyote]

But yes, if I buy from an individual, I only go with goods and service. Anyone who declines, I don't buy from. 10000% they're trying to scam

[pallid coyote]

Agreed. Then there's those that want to use apps like CashApp or Zelle which are money sending apps so there's no protection. 10000% that they're scamming when they ask for that

Current status of build

[pallid coyote]
