[pallid coyote]

budget?

You can always go for the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070, they have a sff version of the 3060 as well. Just look up RTX xxxx itx and you'll find them. (Replace xxxx with the series number or you're going to pull up searches that you may regret)

[lone pond]

Good idea

👍

[keen nacelle]

I see 2070supers for 600 a ton

[steel bolt]

Yeah I have too, I've got my old one that Im trying to sell and I just want people's thought before I post it anywhere.

[plucky pilot]

I wish Newegg was more transparent with the location of their 3rd party vendors. I purchased a GPU from newegg only to find that the tracking was coming from China. I recieved the card, and now I find out that Gigabyte will not warranty the card because of the region. I spent $2,300 on this gpu, only to not have any sort of warranty is ridiculous.

[brisk flame]

paying 2300 was your first mistake

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[plucky pilot]

agreed

[brisk flame]

also

if it doesnt ship from within the US, it will have one of these on the listing

[plucky pilot]

however I was sick of trying my hand at the newegg shuffle month after month and needed to get my build finished.

I do not recall that on the product page on the site

I will check the listing again

[brisk flame]

also yeah. it took me months to win the shuffle

but eventually you do

[plucky pilot]

I did not unfortunately, and I signed up every weekday for many months

at that point it wasn't worth waiting anymore and the premium price tag was justified

[brisk flame]

did you not have a previous card you were using?

[plucky pilot]

no

[brisk flame]

or was it just crap

ahh

[plucky pilot]

I was not on a desktop before

I was on a gaming laptop, the last PC I built was in 2007

[subtle cove]

how much force do i need to install a gpu? reseating it cause of troubleshooting

[toxic sinew]

Not much, enough to put it in the slot and hear a click

[subtle cove]

cause it don’t wanna go in

[toxic sinew]

Make sure the PCIe bracket is going into the case

Sometimes it can get stuck

[subtle cove]

it is

should i do about as much as ram?

when it comes to pressure applied

[toxic sinew]

Should take even less pressure than that

Make sure this is pushed down

[subtle cove]

it is down, and it will not go in

[toxic sinew]

Could you send a picture of the area?

[subtle cove]

why is it sideways

apple i dislike you

[toxic sinew]

The push thing at the end of the PCIe slot looks like it's upwards

It needs to be pushed down and back

[subtle cove]

it def is down

[toxic sinew]

Does not look like it

This is meant to be pushed down into it

Hold the push thing open while pushing the GPU in

[subtle cove]

photoception

took the gpu out, it is down

[toxic sinew]

Try this

[subtle cove]

so yay it did click

ig i just wasn’t applying pressure to the right area

[subtle cove]

so um

it boots

to no display

fan is spinning

[subtle cove]

it is connected

hdmi

correct

yeus

i have two hdmi cables, one going into a dp adapter

tried both and none worked

@sterile parcel

imma try the igpu oh my cpu to eliminate the possibility of both monitors dying in the course of 24 hours

there is 2 do and 1 hdmi

maybe not

the port on my mobo tight

the hdmi port

asrock

mobo

aren’t great

um

why

i look over to my pc for one min

and i see asroxk boot menu

then it go away

[steel bolt]

What does it mean when someone lists a card as LHR or Non LHR?

Gotcha. Thanks!

[subtle cove]

so i made sure cables were all in and secure

they were

i’m scared when i reinstalled the gpu i killed it

but i didn’t touch any important things

just the edge

yeah

i also tried reseating my ram

but it didn’t wanna open up so i could’ve done something there

but i don’t think that would cause no display

i did put a lot of force on it to take it out

it was really forced in there

yea

[fossil talon]

Just mine ERGO/RAVEN

[subtle cove]

wasn’t able to get it out

yea

yeah ik

i installed it over a year ago

just wanted to reseat it

but the thing is

the hdmi port on the mobo is legit not the right size

[vital pivot]

uh

[subtle cove]

i’m not wasting an hdmi cord trying to put it in there

[vital pivot]

ok @subtle cove lets start from the beginning.

[subtle cove]

ok

[vital pivot]

1st off.. power your system down and UNPLUG the power cable

[subtle cove]

already done

[vital pivot]

now remove the ram, press the tabs on each end of a ram stick, then pull out the ram stick

if you have more then one do it for each one

[subtle cove]

mhm please hold

[vital pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-hours-later-two-hours-later-gif-10365375

[subtle cove]

yeah

so

[vital pivot]

its no biggie..

[subtle cove]

the top ones open

the bottom ones aren’t so nice

[vital pivot]

use a pencil if you have to.. but be careful

[subtle cove]

mine does

i put them in

[vital pivot]

the tabs are there mostly to help removing the ram sticks..

ive broken a few in my time

[subtle cove]

welp asrock is bad at helping then

they were working when i put em jn

[vital pivot]

i can't tell if you have bottom release tabs

[subtle cove]

i feel like i remember putting them out

[vital pivot]

well pull up on the top of the stick gently. as the ram is not seated properly anyway

[subtle cove]

https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450M Pro4/index.asp this is what i have

it don’t move

i remember they didn’t wanna go in tho

it took a while

[vital pivot]

the tabs on the bottom are fixed

so no they will not move

[subtle cove]

alright

[vital pivot]

and the hdmi port on the mother board is a standard size

[subtle cove]

i doubt that

but sure

maybe i got unlucky

[vital pivot]

well i can promise you it its.. unless you screwed up installing the io shield

[subtle cove]

*apexgamingpcs

i was a moron when i bought this

anyways

i was able to get the top bit out

[vital pivot]

everyone learns as they go

[subtle cove]

while applying equal force

[vital pivot]

some slower then others

[subtle cove]

to north sides

so i think asrock plans on ppl doing this

idk

[vital pivot]

brb.. keep trying

[subtle cove]

well

ok

wow

ok

understandable

exactly

yea

i was informed the mobo has static bottom tabs

which i don’t believe

current predicament

right stick half way

i don’t like it

i know it not supposed to be like that

yeah ik

but it don’t do

yea

fair

well anyways dm me any ways you think might help out i gotta go to bed soon as i have a sleep schedule

ik nobody has one

i understand i probably broke the gpu in some way i just wanna figure out how so i don’t do it again

[magic fable]

23 newegg shuffles and still no new RTX 3000 card

Am I doing something wrong?

[subtle cove]

nope just bad luck

you’ll struck luck eventually

[vital pivot]

Yep

I am back.

[subtle cove]

i am gone

[magic fable]

Maybe someday lol

[vital pivot]

Good luck

Yeah I think I got 10 wins under my belt.

[magic fable]

Damn

[vital pivot]

Yeah the PS5 bundles are a negative mark for Newegg

[magic fable]

Just tired of the driver issues on amd. I want that sweet sweet RT

[vital pivot]

So @magic fable just click all that you can afford and hit enter

[magic fable]

I do ;-;

[vital pivot]

I don’t win because well. Evga only for me

[subtle cove]

i don’t win cause i don’t enter

ghee

he he

[vital pivot]

And now. I don’t need to win a dang PS5. It was for my daughter, but I’m about to buy her a new ride tomorrow.

[magic fable]

I just dont select the gigabyte cards with known issues

[cosmic bluff]

i might just enter for another card

for a separate build tho

[magic fable]

I managed to snag a ps5 from target after having a dream about it.

Yikes

[cosmic bluff]

well i could just walk into the local best buy to get the card but i dont feel like heading 15mins to go there

[magic fable]

Hmm you can just walk into a Best Buy and find one?

[cosmic bluff]

yeah in my you can cause everyone else prefers amd cards here and its a new harder to find store

[magic fable]

Hmm, nobody buys amd here because its like 900 for 6700xt at Microcenter

Tired of AMD anyways

[cosmic bluff]

i dont have a MC near me so i go to my BB

some prices are meh there

yeah

[magic fable]

Do you have to get there early or something?

[cosmic bluff]

well they have them in store but its hard to get amd here but people have that heard mentality for the big boi name AMD so eh

[magic fable]

Interesting.

[cosmic bluff]

buddy recently bought a 3090 vision for a little more than msrp

[subtle cove]

this is my pcpp, what would y’all say would be a good cheap placeholder gpu till i could get something not horrible? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GqWKz7

[magic fable]

Hmm

Thats tough

Cause even cheap gpus are selling for way too much

[cosmic bluff]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CtrwLP this has a different ssd for ya that can be a bit better

a 980 doesnt benefit too much for ya if your gaming and its cheaper for the P31

[subtle cove]

is that gen 4 pxie?

i would like to use up the gen 4 slot in the mobo

[cosmic bluff]

gen 4 isnt too beneficial yet but unless your doing something that really needs the slight boost from it

[magic fable]

Direct storage should be soon

[subtle cove]

one rhing that fast storage would help is 4k video editing, correct?

[magic fable]

Moving 4k files would be a lot faster

[cosmic bluff]

thats more dependent on the ssd itself but does help but again doesnt really seem too much of a performance boost

[magic fable]

If you decide on it I would recommend the highest rated speeds you can get

Future prrofs your purchase

[subtle cove]

also i had to toss that one together as the one i used before is inaccessible as i can’t use the system it was on

so some things might be a lil off

ik see gate wasn’t a seagafe before but it was what i could think of

i think it was a x300

toshiba

but use

idk

but yeah what gpu do y’all recommend

[magic fable]

As to answer your previous question I would look at a gpu on the local used market

like rx 580 8gb or gtx 1070

or gtx 980 6gb

980 ti*

[subtle cove]

how much are they?

roughly

[magic fable]

Depends on your local market

100-350

[subtle cove]

i live in a place where there is like 3x more trees than ppl so i’m not so sure it’ll be a great deal

but for the current market 350 doesn’t sound horrible

[magic fable]

Could be worth it

[vital pivot]

higi.. i doubt your gpu is broken

[subtle cove]

i should he sleeping but wdym

[vital pivot]

post another photo of your motherboard as it current sits please

[keen nacelle]

I wouldnt go 580 8gb, they tend to cost more than similar performance gpus since miners love them

[subtle cove]

dm about this and i will i will certainly not remember after more than 4 hours

[pallid coyote]

Ooof, for the prices, I rather go with Intel, they have better chipsets, features, and are more stable from my experience

[vital pivot]

yep.. pretty much why i went intel with this build

[pallid coyote]

This. I left AMD after the Athlon days but will give Ryzen a look into when I build my backup/test PC. For my main though, it's Intel all the way

[vital pivot]

im running a ryzen 3800X at the office

its mostly stable.. but yeah it does have it moments

this is my home build currently https://pcpartpicker.com/user/BuiltbyDaarken/saved/#view=DFDL99

[pallid coyote]

I run Intel at work and at home. I tested out a Ryzen 5900x for work but it just wasn't stable enough for the workout

[pallid coyote]

I got permission denied for the parts list

[vital pivot]

oops

had it set to private

[pallid coyote]

Nice build

Really sick

[vital pivot]

i just realized

it dint price the kingpin or the evga nu audio pro

so add $2500

[spare relic]

4097

4096

https://youtu.be/mLq_P0K4jvA

[thorny oasis]

Nice

[vital pivot]

I admit, i got multiple items on sale

i.e. the ram.. i probably saved $40 on it

[spare relic]

where 😳

[lost sierra]

When swapping an AMD card for an Nvidia one do you need to uninstall the AMD driver package first or do anything else special beforehand?

[toxic sinew]

You should use DDU in safe mode to uninstall drivers

[lost sierra]

DDU?

[novel kestrel]

Is 750w enough for a 6800xt

[heady turtle]

I'd go with an 850w

[novel kestrel]

Is that to be safe or is what is definitely needed

I've seen some tech review company's using as low as 650w with no issues

[dreamy dragon]

sharpen#8761 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[livid idol]

6800XT doesn't have as high of load spikes compared to 3080 (<1ms 450W instead of 500W+), so 750W should be good even when overclocking and using higher power processors

[heady turtle]

750w is needed but usually 850w is like 10/15$ more and means you can bring the psu forward

[vital pivot]

I saw in they had 3 stores listed in Denver.

[hot folio]

You’ll be fine

I was able to use an OCed 5900x and OCed 6800xt off a 750watt PSU

[vital pivot]

Slap that 5900x in this puppy

[heady turtle]

Chonker

[hollow zephyr]

should i try to get my hands on a 3060 ti??

[vital oriole]

if you could

it's a unicorn lel, hard as hell to find

[hollow zephyr]

i dont feel like i need a card though

currently rocking a 5600xt

[vital oriole]

just keep the 5600xt

[hollow zephyr]

def an upgrade but i dont even be doing anything too crazy

[vital oriole]

unless you can find good deals

[hollow zephyr]

msrp

if i can cop at my bestbuy

[vital oriole]

ye they gonna restock soon

massive restock

well if you do hop to 3060ti you defo upgrade by a big step

[hollow zephyr]

ya the price to performance between a 3060ti and a 3070 isnt worth the extra $100 imo

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/john-jonah-jameson-lol-laughing-hysterically-laughing-out-loud-funny-gif-17710543

[hollow zephyr]

[keen nacelle]

I have a best buy near me, like 10min away, but idk how to check if they do it

I wouldn't mind picking up a 3070

[hollow zephyr]

ya where do i check

[heady turtle]

It's not imo either but.... 3070s are a bijillion times easier to find

[keen nacelle]

I'd buy a lhr 3070 and sell my 3060 ti to a miner

And switch to mining raven

[rustic pulsar]

If I got to my local bestbuy is it likely they’ll have 3000 series

[keen nacelle]

Idk how many of them do

I think its more likely if it's in a "big" city

Itd make sense anyways

[vital oriole]

i want 3060ti

[keen nacelle]

The one near me is in one of the most populated places in my state

[rustic pulsar]

I live like 30 minutes from NYC so maybe I’ll go

[keen nacelle]

So it's probably likelyb

[vital oriole]

cause well the value it offers IF at msrp

[keen nacelle]

Yeah 3060 ti is great

Ultra settings 1080p/1440p for most games is nice at 4-500$

[rustic pulsar]

How is 3060 ti for 1440p

[hollow zephyr]

mines a big city

[keen nacelle]

Pretty nice

[hollow zephyr]

got like 4

[keen nacelle]

I do 1080p on my 3060 ti

[heady turtle]

Best buy is doing an irl drop to tomorrow, you can check at https://www.pcgamer.com/a-massive-restock-of-nvidia-rtx-30-series-gpus-is-happening-at-best-buy-tomorrow/ and for the rest of the time, I've a buying guide in the pins

[rustic pulsar]

Think I could run 1440p on 6600xt?

[keen nacelle]

But it should run 1440 pretty well

Ehh

I wouldnt, but yeah

Maybe high settings

[hollow zephyr]

BRUH

[keen nacelle]

It doesnt have the benefit of dlss so idk

[hollow zephyr]

THEY NOT HAVING IT IN MY CITY

[heady turtle]

Bout 10% worse than a 3070

[hollow zephyr]

BUT IN MY OLD HOMETOWN

aint no way bruh

nvm

found it

[heady turtle]

I mean depends what "run" is for you lol

It's slightly better than a 3060 so ye

Just mb not high everything

[keen nacelle]

Also depends if you want 60fps or 120+

[hollow zephyr]

i run 1440p on my 5600xt

at medium to high :L

[keen nacelle]

What games?

Certainly not new AAA titles?

[hollow zephyr]

mw

mm

apex

ow

mm

[heady turtle]

Ha cyberpunk can just about be played at med-high on a 3070 with 60fps and dlss

[hollow zephyr]

dont want cyberpunk

mm destiny 2

[heady turtle]

Overwatch and apex are eSports games, pretty easy to run

[keen nacelle]

Pato I wanted your opinion

[heady turtle]

Idk what the others are supposed to be

[hollow zephyr]

roblox

[heady turtle]

Ye?

[keen nacelle]

I might have the option to upgrade 1 piece in my pc soon, im between going to a 5600x, going to a 3070, or adding a good 1tb ssd since mine is pretty meh

Pny cs900

Was wondering which one you think would be best

[hollow zephyr]

rdo is prolly the only thing it struggles with'

[keen nacelle]

Since I dont do cpu intensive tasks I figured 3070, and just use pbo, or you'd say neither since it really doesn't change much

[hollow zephyr]

the only thing i see it struggling with is halo

thats maybe

[heady turtle]

I'd wait on the cpu(12th gen intel or ryzen 5000xt or 6000), if all you do is game(especially if not esports) i would bother going 3060 ti to 3070, only reason imo is to go to a 3080, and whats wrong with your drive?

[keen nacelle]

Pny cs900 is just low end when it comes to ssds, and I already use more than 1tb with an external hdd, if I don't get another 1tb ssd I'll throw a 4tb hgst in my pc

My external hdd is dying

If I don't upgrade rn I'm going to wait for whenever ryzen 7000 series is dropped

[livid idol]

Or you could get the X300 10TB that's only $260 today

[keen nacelle]

If its to ryzen or intel idk

I dont need 10tb lol

I doubt I'll ever use more than 3tb

[heady turtle]

If you wanted a faster boot ssd I'd go sk hynix p31

[heady turtle]

Then wd blue 2tb is nais price

[keen nacelle]

Is that nvme or sata?

[heady turtle]

Nvme

[keen nacelle]

Those go into m.2 slots right?

I've never used one, but I believe I have a slot for a gen 3

[livid idol]

I don't like deleting things, especially the 100+ games I have on my wii drive

[keen nacelle]

I dont really play that many games

[heady turtle]

Yes

[keen nacelle]

I only have like 5 big games

I have an asrock b550m/ac

It came with m.2 wifi but i took that out

[heady turtle]

P31 is v nice gen 3 drive

[keen nacelle]

Would the ssd be able to go in there?

[heady turtle]

So many games....

[keen nacelle]

I'm not sure if that's the only nvme slot I have

I might have another

[heady turtle]

Ehh it should have a spare m.2 slot that didn't have wifi in it anyway

[keen nacelle]

Alr thanks

Could you pm me the name of the drive?

[heady turtle]

Done

[keen nacelle]

[heady turtle]

[onyx orbit]

best buy's restocking tomorrow how do I beat the bots

[brisk flame]

you dont lol

its in person only

[onyx orbit]

😡

[toxic sinew]

Just get there early

[onyx orbit]

pulling a microcenter on me

haha

[brisk flame]

stand in line for 15 hours

[toxic sinew]

I do believe they give out tickets to reserve cards

[brisk flame]

i did it before, im prolly gonna do it again

[toxic sinew]

At least I have seen some do that so far

[onyx orbit]

there isn't any way I can get there tomorrow

oh well

[heady turtle]

That's what they did last time ye

[brisk flame]

then you arent dedicated enough

[livid idol]

They're handing out tickets at 7:30, opening at 8. People are probably lining up now.

[onyx orbit]

I gots things to do

[brisk flame]

im gonna drive 2 hours out to the nearest best buy

excuses

[heady turtle]

Damm

[livid idol]

30 minutes for me to the nearest that's getting stock

[heady turtle]

time to fly to new york

[keen nacelle]

Is this an oem?

[livid idol]

I'm heading there at 4AM, hope I'm not too far back

[keen nacelle]

Blower model?

[livid idol]

Lacking any branding it's probably OEM

[keen nacelle]

I believe it's an acer oem right?

Yeah thanks

[livid idol]

What's the PCI ID?

[keen nacelle]

Is it blower model too? Or just a regular oem

[livid idol]

The sub ID will tell us vendor

[keen nacelle]

Idk what that means, its a predator orion pre built

[onyx orbit]

do any manufacturers besides evga have a queue

[livid idol]

If you can go into the control panel and right click it, you'd find it there

[heady turtle]

I'll pass 😳

[livid idol]

LHR is your layover lol

[keen nacelle]

It's not my pc

Tryna help someone with cooling

[livid idol]

Oh you're trying to ID it?

[keen nacelle]

More so just wanted to make sure I was right on it being oem

[onyx orbit]

speaking of LHR it looks like it's mostly been bypassed, which is weird, because I thought the LHR cards had inbuilt limits

not just programmed ones

[livid idol]

What GPU is it supposed to be? 3080 or something?

[keen nacelle]

3060 to

Ti*

[livid idol]

70% of max hash rate is unlocked

[onyx orbit]

[cosmic bluff]

Imagine LHR being a thing comedy

[livid idol]

I don't see any mainstream model that looks like that and I don't see pictures of the Acer model, but the vbios for it does exist so it follows that there is in fact an Acer model. Can't tell if it's blower without a bottom shot.

[keen nacelle]

It has one fan on the bottom

[livid idol]

It's blower then for sure

[keen nacelle]

Thanks

[subtle cove]

@vital pivot as you requested

[lost sierra]

Considering that the current resale value of the RX 580 is between $300 and $500, is $300 + an RX 580 a good trade for an RTX 2070 Super? Both are used cards.

Aside from the trade option, the seller is willing to part with it for $500.

I’m not sure what to counter offer or if I want to part with the 580.

[pallid coyote]

I wouldn't if you have to pay $500 and your RX 580. He's going to turn around and sell it for $300 to $500 if not more

[keen nacelle]

I'd say that's decent

Maybe 250$

If you're receiving it that's a good deal

[vital pivot]

@subtle cove I am currently at a car dealership purchasing a couple of cars

[subtle cove]

oh yea

good luck

[vital pivot]

So I will be unavailable for a few hours.

[subtle cove]

well uh just i got the ram out

[subtle cove]

oo kia they look nice

aren’t they a pretty penny tho

[vital pivot]

45k

[brave violet]

is that the 2.0L I4 or 3.5 V6 @vital pivot

[vital pivot]

Twin turbo v6

[keen nacelle]

Shopping for you or your daughter?

[vital pivot]

No. 2 for 1 deal

That’s hers

[cosmic bluff]

Nice nice

[keen nacelle]

I need to start looking for a car

Should've started a while ago lol

[cosmic bluff]

Im tryna get my hands on either a 98 blazer or a 01 ranger

[cursive meteor]

That’s a nice graphics card.

[subtle cove]

yea it’s leaked 40 series

[keen nacelle]

Idrc what car I get

[cosmic bluff]

Best stonks moment just buy tesla pull gpu out and resell tesla for a bit almost same price if minimal mileage

[keen nacelle]

As long as it works and is safe

[cursive meteor]

That Kia does look nice.

[keen nacelle]

Nice milage per gallon would be nice 👀

[cursive meteor]

But I don’t like Korean cars.

Hyundai has shown me the definition of engine problems.

[keen nacelle]

Having a bigger car like a van would be nice, since I like the outdoors

[cursive meteor]

Just buy an F350.

[cosmic bluff]

F550 is better lol

[cursive meteor]

Man I knew they made F550s.

I just forgot if they did or not.

[keen nacelle]

I dont like trucks much :l

If its cheap I'd take it

[cursive meteor]

Didn’t want to look

I love my charger.

[keen nacelle]

But also tryna spend like 4-6k so that's gonna be outta range lol

[cursive meteor]

Has been reliable so far.

[cosmic bluff]

I miss my avenger

[keen nacelle]

I love chargers

They look sick

[cursive meteor]

My V6 doesn’t even glug gas.

[keen nacelle]

Not much of a dream car but id love to own one

Not gonna be my first car though lmao

[cursive meteor]

V8s drink gas like a mofo.

[cosmic bluff]

To be on safe side lets takes this out of gpu channel so mods dont smack us

[cursive meteor]

Nah my first car was jeep renegade.

Eh mods don’t care as long as we don’t push someone who wants to talk about GPU away.

[keen nacelle]

My brother's is a Ford escape that cost him 5k with 40k miles on it

My sisters was a Nissan central with 4k miles on it for 5k like 6 years ago

[cursive meteor]

Not a bad deal.

[keen nacelle]

Centra*

Yeah but the market is screwed rn

[subtle cove]

i’m hoping for like a 06 1500 but fuel efficiency would be out the window

[cursive meteor]

Sentras are nice.

[keen nacelle]

So I'll prolly have to wait

[subtle cove]

for my first car

[cursive meteor]

No kidding, my car appreciated in value by $5k.

[keen nacelle]

Wow

[cursive meteor]

Which is unheard of.

[cosmic bluff]

I have a 2017 1500 in a metallic blue and i have to check mileage after i get home but never been in an accident and when i first got it there was 57 miles on it and its fully paid off

[keen nacelle]

My mom has a Toyota something or other from like 2006

Over 180k miles on it, the engine was replaced at 85k

No real issues

[cursive meteor]

Why was the engine changed?

[keen nacelle]

It has some issues

I was like 8 so idk exactly

[subtle cove]

tacoma? tundra? both of them are known really reliable in my mind

[keen nacelle]

Uhh

I can take a picture?

[subtle cove]

sure

[cursive meteor]

Some dude drove an 06 tundra for 1mil miles.

[subtle cove]

no surprise

[cursive meteor]

Or 07. And only had minor issues.

[cosmic bluff]

The only issue my truck has is a sensor and its just going bad so i have to pay like $300 for the part and i can install it

Looks like a camry

[keen nacelle]

Yeah thats it

[subtle cove]

looks like a camry yea

[keen nacelle]

Couldn't remember the name lol

[subtle cove]

reminds me of a taurus tho

[cosmic bluff]

Ford taurus has so many issues especially airbags and the bearings in the pulleys going bad

[warped trail]

why- why are we talking about cars in the GPU channel? XD

[cerulean rover]

tesla car gpu

[warped trail]

understandable have a nice day

[cosmic bluff]

Actually i wonder if the teslas that quote to have gpus what kinda they are ill honestly laugh if it the tesla series nvidia cards

[warped trail]

Yes.

ah yes Nvidia had GPUs called Tesla

interesting

thanks Google

also I just saw what you posted

[cosmic bluff]

Lol yeah it was a more workstation based rather than a gaming gpu

[warped trail]

I am smart man

[cosmic bluff]

I almost bought one so i can say i have a tesla

[cerulean rover]

it was a whole architecture too

on top of the workstation card lineup

[warped trail]

also interesting to hear that Tesla used Nvidia made stuff in their cars for awhile

[cerulean rover]

there are 82 different cards on the tesla 2.0 architecture

[cosmic bluff]

Im gonna find a tesla card online now unless someone can link me one

[warped trail]

wha- what? 😶

[cerulean rover]

you want the architecture or the tesla lineup of workstation cards

[warped trail]

https://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-Tesla-GDDR5-Cores-Graphic/dp/B00Q7O7PQA?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_marketplace

[cerulean rover]

all of these and more are tesla 2.0

[warped trail]

Nvidia is very interesting

[cerulean rover]

yes

[cosmic bluff]

Oof i forgot how pricey they were

[warped trail]

Tesla K80 looking really cool though gotta admit

[cosmic bluff]

I just want a tesla lineup gpu but i wont use it till i build my workstation build so my gaming rig doesnt die during unreal engine and blender work

[warped trail]

hehe

[toxic sinew]

The K80 is like $150 on ebay

Price gone up to like $180 rn

[warped trail]

is that buy it now or bidding though?

[toxic sinew]

Buy it now

[warped trail]

I don't trust bidding

oh interesting

[toxic sinew]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/284282015046?hash=item4230874d46:g:YnsAAOSwPYhhFq6l

They are not expensive at all

Barely any use to many people nowadays

[warped trail]

that green is very loud lol

[cosmic bluff]

Ill probably make my workstation green then

[warped trail]

hecc yeah

I will say those all green rigs posted in build chat earlier were really cool

[cosmic bluff]

And ill probably use either a 10800K or a threadripper 2nd gen

[warped trail]

so I'd say go for it

thanks Discord for being slow

nah gotta go get an Nvidia CPU and have all Nvidia stuff

[safe pollen]

Are the 30 series still hard to come by in the market?

[cosmic bluff]

Lol

[safe pollen]

I haven't bothered looking since they released because I heard they were impossible to get your hands on

[cosmic bluff]

It happens

You tend to be lucky with the cards other times you tend to cave into scalpers

[warped trail]

just be like my smooth brain arse and pay way too much for the 3060 🥴

[cosmic bluff]

Oof

I paid 1600 for the 3090 and i can go to my best buy rn if i wanted to and get one for 1500

[warped trail]

which isn't all that great, compared to even the 3060ti but it'll be a banger of a first card I think

[safe pollen]

my friend spent $2500 canadian for a 3090 weeks after it came out

[cursive meteor]

Jesus Christ.

[cosmic bluff]

But when i first got my 3090 i bottlenecked it so hard by running an I5-9400F lol but im still bottlenecked with an I5-11600k

I wish i wasnt so impatient so i couldve gotten an alder lake cpu and mobo

Wouldve gone with a 12850k with a Z690 mobo

[warped trail]

I'm planning on pairing my 3060 with a 5600x

[cosmic bluff]

Thats a good combo imo

[brave violet]

@vital pivot Congratulations and enjoy

[safe pollen]

$2500 canadian is roughly 2000 USD for reference

[cosmic bluff]

So 500 over msrp still a rip tho

[warped trail]

it was gonna be a 3600 and 5700XT but those are rare and the only ones I find are way overpriced. I was still gonna go with 3600 for the 3060 but as of right now the 3600 is only like $20 cheaper than the 5600x because Amazon scalpers

3600 is/was sold out everywhere

[cosmic bluff]

Well building a gaming rig?

[warped trail]

I'm waiting on more checks from my new job and I'll be building my first ever rig yes, gaming.

[safe pollen]

yah my friend splurges on basically everything lol

[warped trail]

I used up my entire GPU budget on the 3060 lel

[cosmic bluff]

Ok well 6 core is a great choice for gaming (gaming primarily uses 6 cores) but if you were doing stuff like i do with rendering and editing as well a 5800x or a 10800K would be a great choice with 8 cores

[cursive meteor]

I will buy a 3090 and run it with an Athlon 2.

[cosmic bluff]

No run it with an Intel Celeron D

[cursive meteor]

Same tho.

[cursive meteor]

I don’t have Intel board handy. :’(

[cosmic bluff]

I do and the celeron d i have is still in prestine condition soon to be a keychain tho

[warped trail]

no I don't do anything cool like that. Only thing I see myself doing with my Rig other than gaming is screensharing occasionally on Discord. But that requires me paying for Nitro Classic which I stopped paying for because I wasn't using it

[cursive meteor]

I hate that ceap.

Crap*

Uni make you pay to turn in HW.

Biggest scam since printer ink.

[misty breach]

sorry to budge into your convo but is this legit it's showing a new 3070ti for $339? https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-gv-n307tvision-oc-8g/p/N82E16814932442?Item=9SIAPMXFN45998

[warped trail]

TFW you remember your old elementary school teacher said the school makes them pay for each copy that they print

[cursive meteor]

Hey never told us this lol.

[cosmic bluff]

Im glad im not in uni cause id be paying a quarter million for a bachelors in unmanned aerial system sciences

[safe pollen]

at least on the bright side he seels me his old PC stuff for super cheap. I got his 1080Ti and R9 3900X for only $550

[cursive meteor]

Doesn’t look legit at all.

[cosmic bluff]

Thats a great deal imo

[cursive meteor]

$300 for a 3070??

[cosmic bluff]

Hmm

[cursive meteor]

That’s your giveaway.

You’re gonna get an Vnidia GPU in the mail if you buy that.

[misty breach]

yeah I didn't think it was legit

[cosmic bluff]

Imagine a scalper bot buying them all out of stock just to get a piece of paper of the specs and a printed picture of it

[cursive meteor]

I always sell my brother my old parts for cheap.

[safe pollen]

whats wrong with shipping from hong kong?

[cursive meteor]

Yeah.

Honk Kong alone is not red flag.

Paired with price, it’s def scam.

[safe pollen]

ah ok

[cursive meteor]

Here’s what you should look for.

[cosmic bluff]

Ive done this before but to people who tried to scam me out of a RTX quadro 6000

[cursive meteor]

If it’s too good to be true and it’s coming from Asia, it’s a scam.

I’m actually getting mini PCs super cheap from China atm.

[cosmic bluff]

I regret selling my rtx quadro 6000 honestly

[cursive meteor]

But I’m buying directly from manufacturer and in bulk.

[cosmic bluff]

Nice indeed

[cursive meteor]

Not everything from China is bad lmfso.

[cosmic bluff]

Whats the specs on some of the mini pcs anyways

[cursive meteor]

Oh they’re not the greatest.

But at $80 a pop it’s not bad.

[cosmic bluff]

Just wondering

[neat drum]

sorry to barge in here but i recently wanted to get a 3060 ti or a 3070 but saw the prices, when do yall think the prices will go back down?

[cursive meteor]

It doesn’t say, but it’s 4GB Ram.

[cursive meteor]

Not for a good while.

Maybe another year?

[cosmic bluff]

The prices will take a great while to go back down

[neat drum]

damn

[cosmic bluff]

They predict to late 2022 or even early 2023 but we never know

[cursive meteor]

Meh, I usually give recs on what I have good experiences with.

[neat drum]

i honestly picked the worst time to build a pc

[cursive meteor]

Honestly I’ve been thinking you’re better off buying a prebuilt, but some of these prebuilts I’ve been seeing… not good at all.

[hot folio]

2022-2023

[cursive meteor]

Like for the parts they’d be fine. But they’re built so bad.

[cosmic bluff]

You can get lucky to land a gpu through shuffle, bb drops, or hws but shuffle and drops are best bet

[hot folio]

Best Buy is supposed to have big restocks tomorrow I think

[neat drum]

yeah i saw that yesterday

[cosmic bluff]

Like the shiller against my 11600k lol

[cursive meteor]

Lmfao.

[warped trail]

I mean you guys could try EVGAs website and try and get stuff whenever it comes back? 🥴

[cosmic bluff]

After my 3090 i had a budget to work with lol

Oh yeah forgot about evga queue

[vital pivot]

The evga que is months out

[cursive meteor]

It is for sure.

Just gotta keep trtinfZ

Trying.*

[safe pollen]

the last upgrade i made was upgrading to 32GB of RAM and buying a 500GB NVME

[cursive meteor]

I was gonna try today and give it out.

[vital pivot]

If you did the evga que you won’t hit it till next year.

[cursive meteor]

Well, sell it for whatever I bought it for + shipping.

[cosmic bluff]

Well later i have to go grab a 3060ti from bb for a customer build

[cursive meteor]

It’s like a window of 2 hours isn’t it?

I just missed the window.

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah a 2 hr enter window

[warped trail]

if only I was American

could do Newegg shuffle

[safe pollen]

I probably wont buy another GPU till my friend buys something new so I can get his hand me down lol

[cosmic bluff]

Lol

[cursive meteor]

Today I checked around 10:40 and then again at 1:15.

I was like riiiiip

[spare relic]

A6-1450

[warped trail]

I mean I should be happy with my 3060 so not a big deal I guess 🥴

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah

Better than most that cant even get a gpu

[cursive meteor]

What about it?

[cosmic bluff]

Its an apu iirc

[warped trail]

well I did pay quite alot for something that only barely bests a 2070S, if it does at all.

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah

[cursive meteor]

Yeah we don’t run windows on them.

We run super minimal Linux.

Which it runs pretty well.

[neat drum]

do you guys think a MSI prebuilt with a Intel Core i7 11th Gen with a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB for 2k is worth the price?

[vital pivot]

No

[cosmic bluff]

Nope

[hot folio]

Definitely not

Like $5-600 cheaper for a 3060ti

[cosmic bluff]

ABS is a brand i trust cause they do kinda favor with some asus tuf parts

[hot folio]

With ABS you know the AIB you get

[safe pollen]

2k in general sounds like a lot unless its top of the line

or near top of the line

[cursive meteor]

I bought a good priced ABS a few years ago.

Like 5 years ago I’d say.

Came with an FX-8350, no idea on GPU for like $500.

Maybe it was longer than 5 years ago..

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah

[vital pivot]

ABs has been around for years

[cosmic bluff]

Is it bad that i have a brand loyalty to asus tuf on boards and mice?

[hot folio]

I only bought 2 prebuilts in my life, some cyberpower prebuilt like 6-7 years ago, and an NZXT streamer pro pc a couple months ago

[vital pivot]

I’d like you to say I had one of their cases back in 97

[hot folio]

Lmao I just bought it to rip the 3090 out of it

[cosmic bluff]

Lol

[cursive meteor]

It was an ABS with a FX-6300 and 750 Ti for $500.

[cosmic bluff]

Id buy an nzxt to get my food cooked

[cursive meteor]

PSU in it died, but everything else still works.

[hot folio]

Then sold the rest of the parts for like 1.4-1.5k

It was $3000

Not the creator pc, the streamer pc

This was back before it was called the streamer pro

[safe pollen]

I've considered buying pre-builts before but never actually gone through with it

[hot folio]

Gigabyte Gaming OC

Not a huge fan but oh wel

At least it ain’t Zotac

I’ve been considering selling it and getting some better AIB

Ventus 3090? More like a melted pcb

[warped trail]

Facebook marketplace was a godsend. Card still had warranty as well due to being a 3060

[hot folio]

My Aorus Master 6800xt tho

What’s your stock timespy on your 3080ti?

[heady turtle]

[hot folio]

My OCed 6800xt is getting close to that

[cosmic bluff]

Hey my zotac 3090 has great thermals and its great clocking

[hot folio]

It’s about 19500

[safe pollen]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

lol jk

[cosmic bluff]

Well tonight im gonna core +230 with +1550 mem since the 1400 area never had artifacts

[safe pollen]

mashed potatoes are cool though

[cursive meteor]

Mushy duck you mean.

Pato = duck in Spanish.

I call him duck for that reason lmfao.

[cosmic bluff]

Mashed potato duck

[hot folio]

All of my Zotac cards I had always had power draw issues

[heady turtle]

[cosmic bluff]

I guess i got luck of the draw then

[hot folio]

And they didn’t forget thermal pads for you lol

[cursive meteor]

Same though.

[cosmic bluff]

Actually it was repadded

My oc only got my memory junctions as hot as 88°C

And i never used a fan curve i have mine set to auto

If i keep it up im finna be like kenzie and the nzxt pc

I wont

I only oc for timespy scores lol

What i do need to do it oc my cpu but im too scared for that

[hot folio]

When I run timespy I crank my fan curve to a fan line at 100%

[warped trail]

y'all wanna see my totally terrible planned build?

[hot folio]

Temps don’t pass 48

[cosmic bluff]

My external card hit like around 70s eith 100% load and loud but no thermal throttling anywhere

Whats even funnier is that i use firestorm to oc my gpu i havnt test the afterburner yet on new gpu

[safe pollen]

I had to start using a fan curve cuz otherwise my fans would go straight to 100% even if I booted up a simple indie game

[cosmic bluff]

Oof

Neat

[hot folio]

This ain’t peripherals oops

[cosmic bluff]

Lol

Well when i get to best buy should i grab an Evga 3060ti or asus tuf 3060ti if they have it

[cursive meteor]

Hm.

[cosmic bluff]

Pricing is not a concern

[cursive meteor]

If we’re going on brand alone then it’s tough for me.

I don’t know the technical crap on either of those.

But I do like both EVGA and ASUS.

[cosmic bluff]

I live in a hidden place remember i have the mythical BB

Where AMD is rare and last time i checked they were decent on stock

[cursive meteor]

Schrodingers Best Buy.

[cosmic bluff]

Yes

I should open a gpu shop Schrodingers GPU Store "we either have it in stock or we don't" gotta come in to find out yourself

Lol

We dont have a MC here sadly

But again evga or asus tuf

[safe pollen]

tfw you live in Canada so theres no microcenter anywhere 😦

[cursive meteor]

Canada doesn’t exist.

We went over this a few days ago.

There’s a random land mass between the mainland US and Alaska though, no idea why they don’t do anything with the land.

Pretty big chunk.

I’m lucky enough to have a microcenter near me.

They never have GPU in stock though.

The neck beards always waiting in line every morning waiting to open and see if they have GPU in stock.

[safe pollen]

everything I know is a lie...

[cursive meteor]

1 is super close, like 10 and another is like 40 minutes away and another is an hour away.

Really??

Could have sworn they do a write your name here so we don’t sell you another for a month.

Interesting. Wonder if they’re doing that here now.

What area do that be?

Hmm, I’m way too up north.

DC/Maryland.

MC is nice until you gotta go there for work.

And buy a bunch of parts to build a bunch of PCs.

And lug those parts up the stairs to your office.

[safe pollen]

I've never really shopped PC parts at best buy

here we have Canada computers which is probably best if your looking to buy stuff not online

[cosmic bluff]

I wanted a job at geek squad cause i have some common knowledge but eh and i like best buy cause i have elite membership

I get special discounts as well cause of my job

[cursive meteor]

I heard geek squad is a terrible place to work for though.

[cosmic bluff]

Idk

[cursive meteor]

Fat rip.

I heard it’s near impossible to get promoted in GS.

And knowing PC build stuff doesn’t help.

[cosmic bluff]

I just want a job building gaming rigs which is my part time at home job but

[cursive meteor]

Believe me you do not lol.

[cosmic bluff]

I dont have job security with it

[cursive meteor]

Building PCs is fun until you got 20 to do in a day.

Gets real boring, tedious, and painful real fast.

You ever touch Ram without the shielding?

Sharpest MFs in the world.

Guaranteed to cut you.

[cosmic bluff]

I love building gaming rigs because i love to see a bunch of boxes become a beautiful game ripping machine

[safe pollen]

you mean trying to shove it into place without any heatsinks on the top?

yah for some reason it digs into your fingers a lot

[cosmic bluff]

I never had that issue

[safe pollen]

reqruies a ton of force

[cursive meteor]

But imagine having to do all the cleanup and everything.

[safe pollen]

if you have stuff at the top its not that bad

[cosmic bluff]

Still great

[cursive meteor]

I mean non shielded Ram.

Them mfs shadp.

Sharp.*

Motherboard too for that matter.

[cosmic bluff]

You mean ram without heat spreaders i think is the name

[cursive meteor]

Eh, I just call it shielding, but sure.

[cosmic bluff]

I usually just keep the boxes then after a while i rid of them just incase i have to rma for someone

[cursive meteor]

But yeah, god forbid you drop a GPU.

[cosmic bluff]

[cursive meteor]

Especially in this market.

[safe pollen]

its like dropping a baby

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah yike

[cursive meteor]

I get where you’re coming from though

It can def be fun.

But it’s not after a while.

[cosmic bluff]

The heaviest build i have personally done is my own rig weighing it at around 65lbs big chonker

[cursive meteor]

People buy the weirdest cases and stuff that should not fit

Someone paid me to build a PC with:

https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/node/node-202/black/

A low profile 1660 Ti and noctua fans.

I had to jam plastic between the fans and the GPU because they would touch.

But the guy said that was fine.

[cosmic bluff]

Ive had a build request to make a case using a 3d printer... My poor printer bout died out on me

[cursive meteor]

Yeah screw that.

[cosmic bluff]

It was a ender v2 printer

[cursive meteor]

Cabling was a NIGHTMARE on that case

His argument was that he wanted it to be the size of an Xbox, but a PC.

[toxic sinew]

I gave my Node 202 to my friend

It's a nice compact case but its outdated

[cursive meteor]

It is, but the stuff he made me install in that thing..

[toxic sinew]

I would love to see Fractal made a updated version with mesh

[safe pollen]

save money and just build your PC in a cardboard box

[cursive meteor]

I’d never do it again.

[cosmic bluff]

Eh i have my tricks to each way of building but im just happy to see it run and not become nzxt

[safe pollen]

cardboard boxes have great ventilation

[cursive meteor]

Better ventilation than an H510.

[cosmic bluff]

If someone request nzxt i will simply either recommend a different case and if they dont want a different case then ill reject their request

[safe pollen]

whats wrong with NZXT?

[cosmic bluff]

Oven

[toxic sinew]

The NZXT H500 / H510 has awful airflow

[cursive meteor]

NZXT designs their cases for looks.

And then they forget about airflow so the heat the PC produces stays trapped.

[toxic sinew]

H200 / H210 does not have great airflow either

[cosmic bluff]

Its airflow sucks so much that a brick get better thermals

[toxic sinew]

the H700 / H710 is better but still not amazing

[cursive meteor]

😉

[cosmic bluff]

Lets not bring up the airfryer H1

[cursive meteor]

CPU is never under even medium load.

[cosmic bluff]

Yo asus tuf board lets goo

[toxic sinew]

Some of their products are overpriced especially when there are better products for cheaper

[cursive meteor]

And won’t ever.

So it can live in it. 🙂

I love them krakens though.

[cosmic bluff]

Give me a drill ill make the h510 a better case

[cursive meteor]

Hehe

Look ma no cables.

[cosmic bluff]

I almost bought an asus tuf liquid cooler 360 mm rad for my build but i didnt want rgb

[cursive meteor]

Massive rad holy.

[cosmic bluff]

See tho its nice and clean with current minimal rgb

[cursive meteor]

I wish I had a pic of my work PC.

[cosmic bluff]

I have an artic liquid freezer II 360mm

[cursive meteor]

It’s in a Lian Li case. Really nice.

[cosmic bluff]

This is corsair 5000d

[safe pollen]

cool cooler

[cosmic bluff]

Indeed its amazing and look at the amazing cable management

That made me proud

Other than gpu cables

[cursive meteor]

I wish they still put GPU cable ports on the right side of the GPU.

Makes it so much easier to hide the cables.

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah

This unit weighs 65lbs

[cursive meteor]

My girl at home is dusty.

[cosmic bluff]

Only issue is that if i wasnt to do the cmos battery i have to remove the gpu

[cursive meteor]

I have it sitting on a motherboard box and a bunch of PS3 games so it doesn’t sit on carpet lmfso.

[cosmic bluff]

Oh no

[cursive meteor]

It’s cool it got like a good 3 inches of clearance.

[cosmic bluff]

This was my old one and it was a hefty boio as well

[cursive meteor]

Is that a ITX board or old style case without PSU shielding?

Def ITX right??

[cosmic bluff]

Matx

[cursive meteor]

Micro atx*

I don’t remember the sizes smh.

[cosmic bluff]

The case supports EATX but the psu is int he bottom

[cursive meteor]

This is the case I got on my work PC.

[cosmic bluff]

Nice

[cursive meteor]

Was only like $100 when I bought it.

It’s expensive now.

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah

Wanna see a blinding pink upgrade to my old rig?

[cursive meteor]

Suuure.

[cosmic bluff]

I was a major cable rookie to this stuff

[cursive meteor]

My god you didn’t lie on the blinding pink.

[cosmic bluff]

Told ya

Lol

[cursive meteor]

Looks cool though.

Def had to decrease that pink lol.

[cosmic bluff]

First build had to be rgb vomit but now im just going for pure performance

[cursive meteor]

I got you.

I bought a $200 case for my third build.

[cosmic bluff]

Well i still have it but i reverted it back to air cooling

[cursive meteor]

https://www.grooves-inc.com/corsair-geh-corsair-full-tower-atx-graphite-780t-white-retail-corsair-hardware-electronic-pZZa1-2097583076.html?language=en&currency=USD&_z=us&gclid=CjwKCAjw1JeJBhB9EiwAV612yyoy5rMMOjDdZ5f6HSpXv_JqkzH76F_ZfZ170NB482OPdMLK-CSMRBoCQpUQAvD_BwE

One of these.

[subtle cove]

@vital pivot hehehhehhehhehe look at my status when you have time

[real gulch]

If i get my hands on a rx 580 for 230 is that good for a entry level pc?

[cursive meteor]

Jeez isn’t that a bit steep for a 580?

[real gulch]

I mean rn it aint

[cursive meteor]

I could have sworn they were like $190 when I bought mine.

Maybe it was a 570..

[real gulch]

They’re like 600

[cursive meteor]

I don’t remember.

[real gulch]

They’re crazy rn

[cosmic bluff]

I could get a 1660 for 220 sweet

[real gulch]

true

[cursive meteor]

Oh then that’s definitely not the same card I’m thinking about.

Is it..?

[real gulch]

I just wanted a 8 gb gpu for entry lvl

[cosmic bluff]

Or just pay msrp for 3060ti at my schrodinger best buy

[cursive meteor]

Why the hell is that GPU $600??

It was for sure $200 when I bought it.

[real gulch]

Ngl are u stuck in 2019?

[cursive meteor]

Bro it’s an old asf GPU.

[real gulch]

3060s are sold for 900 on newegg

[cursive meteor]

Literally 4 years old.

[real gulch]

And 580s are like 600 for just 4 gb

[cursive meteor]

Anything above $250 is a scam

[cosmic bluff]

My best buy has instock nvidia a lot at msrp cause people here prefer amd

[real gulch]

And i found double for 225

[cursive meteor]

No matter how badly I needed a Gpu I would NEVER spend more than $250 on an RX 580.

[real gulch]

And im spending less

Its a sapphire nitro with 8gb

not that bad

[cursive meteor]

$230 is literally what they sold new.

So I guess if you want to spend.

[real gulch]

Where

[cursive meteor]

In 2017.

[real gulch]

Yeah

What you think i have a time machine 😂

[cursive meteor]

I’m trying to tell you that while the GPU market sucks atm, it’s DEF not worth spending more than $250 on that.

[real gulch]

Im not tho

[cursive meteor]

$230 is MSRP price though.

[real gulch]

Thats the price

[cursive meteor]

Is that used, or new?

[real gulch]

Used like new

Cheapest online I found

[cursive meteor]

Then no it’s not terrible.

[real gulch]

Thats legit

Then what should i get for a $250 ish gpu budget?

maybe higher

Atleast atm

I gtg for now be back later

[cosmic bluff]

I just went on my lunch break to snag a 3060ti asus tuf and after i get home im gonna assemble machine and have the customer pick it up or they can watch me build it

I was watching people finally caving into nvidia and some people bought 3080tis and 3090s

[cursive meteor]

Did you actually buy it?

[cosmic bluff]

Yes

I have it in my truck in the beer cooler section hidden

Im being paid 1700 to build the pc so im not complaining

[cursive meteor]

So.. what kind of truck is it..?

And that was Atlanta you said you were in right?

[cosmic bluff]

No im in florida lol
