That took me WAY too long to set up RetroArch on my xbox

Damn I'm dumb

[wary anvil]

I installed arch on my Xbox

I'm dumb

🤔

[normal hawk]

It took my like 6 hours to do what shoulda took me 20 minutes 😂

[indigo turret]

Does anyone know where I can get a decent grafics card for a decent price?

[compact panther]

no

[trail bronze]

Best buy, if they have them in stock.

[opal iron]

@indigo turret You can try b&h bc there really cheap there, buy its a very low chance they come in stock so make sure to put a email alert for the one u want

[rich cedar]

jesus christ 11k

i mean can you game with an A100?

[normal hawk]

It's not for gaming lol

[rich cedar]

i get that lol

[hot folio]

No video output

So no not really

He "gamed" on a Tesla K80 lol. Not well but it worked

;P

[junior locust]

Can you reasonably game on a 7970 present day?
Cuz that is basically what we can get still (cuz the actual good stuff is either scalped, unavailable or scam material in some places)

And anything is better than nothing IMHO

[timid narwhal]

[junior locust]

Can't watch it on mobile data

Can you give me the GRID, AC: Odyssey and Bannerlord numbers?

Those are like the 3 games I would play

Maybe MW2 remastered and NFS

[heady turtle]

What's your definition of reasonable

[timid narwhal]

Grid: ave 50 fps, 1% low 36fps
ACO: ave 44fp, 1% low 38 fps

that seems perfectly fine

[junior locust]

I assume maxed out?

[normal hawk]

720p or 1080p

[timid narwhal]

All of the games are still playable with 7970 and most of them give 60 FPS at 1080P at those low to medium details

[little sleet]

ac:o grid nfs mw2r
avg 44 50 66 84
1% 38 36 52 62
0.1% 33 22 45 37

[normal hawk]

Ah

[little sleet]

mmm, i dont like having smol discord because of this, it was lined up and now its not lined up

[junior locust]

Hmmmm

[timid narwhal]

looks good to me

[junior locust]

I guess I can get at least like.medium

That's not bad

[little sleet]

for me its not because of what i have for the window size

lol

bannerlord 78 29 12

[timid narwhal]

absolutely viable

[junior locust]

Yeag

I can get one for like a hundred bucks

I guess that's pretty reasonable

@timid narwhal a 7970 for a hundred bucks, and a modern APU

That's what I'd get until supply equalizes

[timid narwhal]

why get an APU?

[junior locust]

So that I can game even if the used GPU dies

Or if I can't find a reasonable GPU for a long time

Cuz even 7970s are in short-ish supply

The 100 bucks one is basically a steal for our pricing

[timid narwhal]

Honestly, you might then just get a 5700g and be done with it. you might get better performance on it

depending on your budget ofc

[junior locust]

I suppose

[heady turtle]

Meh 5700g is great in theory but value is meh, 5600g where it's at

[timid narwhal]

sorry, yes, 5600g

[hot folio]

Nevermind, it got unpinned

[night elk]

what's the difference between a blower card and a normal graphics card?

[jaunty mango]

The cooler

Blower coolers suck from what I’ve heard

[livid idol]

They suck alright
They suck air right out of the case.
They're fine for many gpu models, though. Even the new RTX A6000 uses a blower, and it has 48gb of GDDR6X.

[jaunty mango]

Lol

Pun

[normal tinsel]

How does the Gigabyte 3080ti Aorus Master stand against the Asus ROG Strix and Evga ftw

Is it loud?

[keen nacelle]

I think falcie had an aorus master 3090

I could be wrong

[heady turtle]

Get what you can, they're all great cards that you listed

[hot folio]

My Aorus master 6800xt is one loud mofo

[heady turtle]

I mean I'd doubt any of them are quiet they are like 350w cards lol

lollll

[trail bronze]

What is gpu is that?

[wary anvil]

Is best brick

It's the A100

[trail bronze]

Imma look it up rq

[wary anvil]

Basically a 3090 with more and faster vram

[trail bronze]

Damn so like, more expensive than a 3090????

[uncut barn]

that looks

so damn clean

I love it

[trail bronze]

Honestly bro

[wary anvil]

Yeah

[uncut barn]

Dunno why they removed a pin.

[lone pond]

balls

if only the one screw on my laptop's GPU/CPU heatsink wasnt stripped, I could've replaced the crappy thermal paste with liquid metal 🤡

And its even worse now considering I lifted the coldplates off the silicon and ended up just having to place it back, which explains that horrible hotspot temperature.

[normal hawk]

Ouch

[rustic pulsar]

I know it sucks, but consider underclocking a bit and increasing fan curve in MSI afterburner

[lone pond]

It is underclocked...

and that's with the fans running at max

lmao

[rustic pulsar]

underclock MORE

[lone pond]

so yea... poor thermal conductivity + already sub-par cooling solution (msi gs63 8re) = sad

Id rather just wait till I can apply the LM lol

[rustic pulsar]

get like one of those things that you put below the laptop that blows air in to it

[lone pond]

i dont feel like spending unnecessary money, also i should clarify that, those temps are while mining, not gaming

[rustic pulsar]

ohh ok

not much else that I know of that u could do sry

[lone pond]

yea its fine, i was mostly just sharing my pain as i wait to get a stripped screw remover or something lol

[rustic pulsar]

are u elevating ur laptop at all

[lone pond]

lol yes

[rustic pulsar]

grab a fan and blow air into it

[lone pond]

but yea, the problem is that my particular laptop already had a subpar cooling solution, which, when mixed with awful thermal compound causes real issues

its the msi gs63 8re if you didnt see

it's gotten a lot of criticism for causing thermal throttling in CPUs in particular

[cunning hemlock]

Hey everyone, some time ago someone gave me a Dell Precision Tower 5520 with a Nvidia Quadra P1000, however it is broken/doesn’t function. What should I do? But a new one? If so what do I do with the broken one? Do I repair? Couldn’t find much of an answer online

[livid idol]

What exactly is broken and how is it broken? What symptoms?

[plucky pilot]

I am starting to see the pains of RGB Fusion. No matter what suggestions I've tried it will not detect my gigabyte gpu... it does detect my Gskill keyboard for some reason though lol. Has anyone else run into this issue where it does not recognize your gpu?

[cunning hemlock]

Is there a scenario where it can be salvaged?

[magic wing]

a scenario where you give details so we can actually work off something

[cunning hemlock]

😐

[livid idol]

I have had this problem with MSI and my RGB memory. Only way I fixed it was a fresh wiped windows.

[livid idol]

It's often possible to fix broken GPUs (assuming that's what's broken because you posted in GPU channel) but we really need more details. What is it doing? What is it not doing that it should be? Do you have a processor that has a GPU in it for testing?

[toxic sinew]

The GPU itself is broken? How so?

Is it artifacting? Is it not powering in at all?

The only thing you could do is replace the motherboard but the cheapest one is like $200 on eBay, personally I would not say it's super worth it really

[vital oriole]

I think I have an idea about the shroud of my phoenix 1660s now

It's held in by 4 screws

[wicked hound]

Heck RGB Fusion and just use SignalRGB or OpenRGB

[wicked hound]

Have you tried some of this stuff?
https://www.homedepot.com/c/ah/how-to-remove-a-stripped-screw/9ba683603be9fa5395fab90160abf30b

Obv some methods are bit sketch to do cuz laptop screw, but some methods are still usable

[timid narwhal]

no. what motherboard you have?

[plucky pilot]

I have an Asus motherboard, but a gigabyte gpu (would have gone with an asus but now days you take whatever gpu is available to you)

[plucky pilot]

SignalRGB is looking amazing! Thank you for the heads up

[wicked hound]

With a GB GPU you'd need to look into their beta GPU program thing. Dont think their is official support yet

[plucky pilot]

@wicked hound I am searching for the beta you mentioned but I am not seeing anything.

I had it working 1 time. I had to do a fresh install of windows and before I installed any other program I installed RGB Fusion 2, and the Nvidia driver. I was able to edit the RGB and change the information on the gpu's screen (aorus gpu). Even after installing Asus's software as well as iCue it worked... however, when I rebooted my machine RGB Fusion no longer saw the gpu and the screen reverted to the default settings.

[wicked hound]

Look at SignalRGB's Discord in announcements, few posts up.

[heady turtle]

there is rgb fusion works with my giga gpu

[wicked hound]

Meant for sRGB

[fading valley]

I sorta have a weird question

Anyone know the cheepest nvidia gpu that can stream 4k video from a capture card to a service like twitch or youtube

[novel kestrel]

so been thinking might just go to the all out and get https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapphire-radeon-rx-6900-xt-toxic-watercooled-16gb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-39h-sp.html?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=pmd_NrtC0u_ToBpvqEQZj_rM.8UbykRroeRfmDEs4aZG.zM-1633466147-0-gqNtZGzNApCjcnBszQ-R what do we think😆

[cerulean rover]

Hefty boi

[heady turtle]

Wdym stream from a capture card? You can stream like a capture card with an Nvidia gpu or you can stream a capture card but not through a gpu

[fading valley]

what i want to do is have one pc running games. and use that for the input of a capture card on a system that will stream it.

basically it will be just like streaming a console but its actually a pc in 4k

so i would want lot lowest power gpu that can still stream in 4k to save on costs

[novel kestrel]

yeah ikr thought why not just gotta decide now

[cerulean rover]

6900xg isn't bad

[cerulean rover]

Could prob also just have the capture card in the same system

[cerulean rover]

And that wouldn't change that

A GPU that can do 4k60 will stream 4k60 tbh

[heady turtle]

Why? Just put the capture card in the same system or use nvenc

[cerulean rover]

Well, a NVidia GPU that does 4k60 will stream 4k60 without real issues

Because nvenc good

[red elm]

I thought Amazon was the only one jacking up prices

I get the combos because they can but I’m getting tired of every place setting their own prices higher than msrp

[neat linden]

@red elm prices are high af, got my 3090 for $2130

[compact panther]

shoulda just bought a 6900 XT for $1800 after tax

6900 XT OCF was $1700+tax

so lit!

[red elm]

Imo I’ve heard more good with nvidea cards than amd

I do have a 3700x tho

[opal iron]

I mean a 6900 xt for $1700 is much more worth it than a 3080ti for $2070

The performance difference isn't worth $370 more just saying

[red elm]

You're probably right on that, personally uncharted territory for me though

i've done a lot more research on the nvidea based cards than amd

[compact panther]

6900 xt ocf is better stock for stock than 3080 ti strix lc

ofc nvidia has dlss and rtx

but if you dont care about those its ez win for amd

[normal hawk]

Ye. If i didn't get a 3080 ti for sub 1500 i woulda bought a 6900xt. Since the only racing game with DLSS is F1 iirc.

[patent ember]

Hello all. i have a question. having a hard time making the decision due to the crazy prices this past year on GPUs etc. so i have a more than capable pc for gaming. can run anything at descent frames. id say if 10 is the best gaming pc made and 1 is you trying to game on the original mac , mine is about a 7.2 for context. i currently have a 2070 super and looking to upgrade. i have money to buy whatever i want (as far as gpus go lol) but i also want to stay disciplined in my finance which i always strive to. without paying dumb amounts , what would your advice be as the next GPU i should go after to buy where i will notice a definitive difference in FPS etc etc. like i said i ave a 2070 super and dont just want a 5 fps increase. any thoughts?

sorry for the long post ...

[normal hawk]

Do you live near a best buy? I'd aim for an RTX 3080 FE when they do restocks. You'll have to camp out for a bit though and get lucky

[patent ember]

RIGHT by best buy and microcenter @normal hawk

[normal hawk]

At microcenter just try not to spend more than like 1100 on a 3080 🤷‍♂️ they don't have the best prices lol

Microcenter restocks on Saturdays or Sundays i can't remember

[patent ember]

yeah i know lol but that store is amazing, could and do spend all day there lol

[normal hawk]

Ye ye

[patent ember]

their warranties are second to none which is a big reason (along with it being right by my house) im loyal to them. they swap things out on the spot and will fix their branded stuff free same day. along with many other things.

willing to spend a bit extra for that rather than hope something arrives from Xiangcheng in 7 days. lol

[normal hawk]

True true

[solemn panther]

3080 would be a great jump. I had a 2070S originally then upgraded to 3070....then to 3080ti. The performance gains are very noticeable

If youre using a 1440p display 3080 will really push it to its maximum potential

[normal hawk]

I like the 3080 ti on a 1440p monitor. Also my 4k monitor but i don't use it much currently

[solemn panther]

3080ti is just splendid

Love my card

However

12gb is not enough with the HP reverb g2

Space engine ate all the vram once and crashed from experience

16gb has to be a standard someday

[lone pond]

tbh it feels like pascal released last week, idk why lol

it doesnt feel almost 3 generations old

[livid ingot]

This question also depends on what cpu you have, if you buy a gpu that is too good you'll be bottleknecked and won't get all of the performance that the card can get you.

[heady turtle]

Nah rx 6000 is great, only rx 5000 had problems, Nvidia just has better rt and dlsss

[magic wing]

hey bato

[heady turtle]

I'd say 3080, then once you get one, mine with it when not gaming to recoup costs

Halo rawr

[coral widget]

Hi, can anyone recommend me which card team to choose?
Rx6000 series or rtx 3000series?

It's for gaming build

[timid narwhal]

depends on your budget, the games you want to play, whether you intend to utilise ray tracing, availability in your area and pricing in your area

[coral widget]

For the price, it's quite hard determining which one is the good one as the vga become overpriced

[timid narwhal]

if you have a price in mind, its quite easy

[heady turtle]

Whichever highest tier card you can find in your budget

[coral widget]

So depend on my wallet it is 🤣

[heady turtle]

Pretty much

[heady turtle]

For quick reference if you need btw, roughly:
6600xt=3060+5% or so
6700xt=3060 ti ish
6800= 3070/3070 ti + 10% or so
6800xt =3080ish
6900xt= 3080 ti/3090

Nvidia has better ray tracing perf if that matters to you

And nvenc on Nvidia cards is basically a must if you want to stream

[keen nacelle]

I didn't know the 6800 was that much better than 3070

[timid narwhal]

this is something that needs ot be pinned

[keen nacelle]

I thought it was just slightly better than 3070

[heady turtle]

It's pretty good jump

[keen nacelle]

Yeah now I'm kicking myself for not trading for one when i had the option a couple months ago

[heady turtle]

Sorry not 15% about 10%

Damm

[keen nacelle]

Lmao userbenchmark says 3070 is 12% better, that just shows you how bad it is

[coral widget]

This, is what i looking for

[heady turtle]

Yw :>

[coral widget]

Do the games need to have the ability to ray tracing for the ray tracing to run? Or it just run in any game?

[heady turtle]

The games need to have it (personally it's more of a gimmick imo until it gets better)

[coral widget]

I see, but it's an investment for the future

👍

[knotty horizon]

ME WITH 4GB

oops caps lol

[compact panther]

imo 6000 series

unless you really want RTX

especially if you like overclocking

6900 xtxh

when fully overclocked is about 15% better than a fully overclocked 3090

at 1440p, raster

[heady turtle]

Not really, ray tracing needs to get better on the actual graphics cards, it's not a software problem sooo

[coral widget]

For me it's either 6800 or 6800rx. My budget is 3000$ for all the pc parts and peripherals

[compact panther]

whats budget for GPU

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6900-xt-rx6900xt-ocf-16g/p/N82E16814930057?Description=rx 6800&cm_re=rx_6800-_-14-930-057-_-Product

i'd try to squeeze this in

its on a fantastic sale

[coral widget]

My laptop's dead is too sudden 😭

Still juggling either 6800 or 6700rx. Or its equivalent

[timid narwhal]

chonky boi

[coral widget]

Better and cheaper

[compact panther]

you can for sure squeeze in a $1630 gpu in a $3000 budget

[heady turtle]

For 3k you can easily fit a 6800xt in there

Assuming you mean usd and not Canada

[coral widget]

Wow look at that, 6900 for that price 😯

I only get 3080 for that on amazon

[compact panther]

its a XTXH 6900 XT too

[coral widget]

I am in japan btw, so it's bit pricey everywhere

[heady turtle]

Ohhh

Don't currency convert btw gets confusing and becomes irrelevant

[coral widget]

It become 217.000 yen

About 1974$ usd

Pricey?

[compact panther]

ah

japan yeh

[heady turtle]

Can't tell you idk the Japanese Market

[compact panther]

dunno whats avail local then

[coral widget]

I mean in usd$ is it expensive or normal?

Ooff 1000watt for that chonky card 🤣

[heady turtle]

No point converting, us is different market and don't even include tax in prices sooo

[coral widget]

Ahhh no tax for that in US?

[heady turtle]

No they pay tax they just don't include it in the price

And the markets are just different so converting prices is pointless

[coral widget]

I see, after all price outside US will be pricier

For cooler

Water cooler one, do i just plug and install like the plain ol fan and heatsink?

[heady turtle]

Pretty much, just basically get the best card that has the cheapest model one that you can

[rustic pulsar]

yes but itls prolly a scam

new ones go for around 1k right now

[fluid wedge]

The seller is a local so I doubt it would be a scam

But it is my first time buying a GPU and since I can't get a 30x I was wondering if that was a good price

[rustic pulsar]

great price, ask them if u can test it before purchasing

its actually below msrp iirc

With 1060’s?

Someone please explain

[rustic pulsar]

?

im confused

with 1060s?

[knotty horizon]

I thought 1080s were like awful

Compared with 1060s that are like 150$

[rustic pulsar]

maybe

but 1080ti is like 3060ti perf

w/o ray tracing

[knotty horizon]

Oooohhhhh

[rustic pulsar]

wait nevermind guess it can do rt

[compact panther]

1080 ti is not 3060 ti level perf

1080 ti = 2070 super

3060 ti = 2080 super

[green harness]

And new 1080Tis do not exist

[compact panther]

market for 1080 ti looks lik $500

$420 is low

but not impossibly low

[rustic pulsar]

^^^

[fluid wedge]

So in other words, you all would suggest going for it?

I will ask to see a test of performance and it running beforehand

Just need something to hold me over til I can get a 3070/80

Have nothing right now, and my new 10700k needs a partner GPU

[rustic pulsar]

yeah, great deal, great card, any card today below msrp is great deal imo

[fluid wedge]

Okay cool, thank you for your input! Much appreciated

[livid idol]

It can do traditional RT, but not the new hardware accelerated RT

[rustic pulsar]

so like bad rt, better for like animation/modeling but not good for real time?

[vital oriole]

No

It's bad rt

Cause no actual rt cores to run em

And tensor cores

[livid idol]

It's just the more classic approach to RT. Not the advanced stuff like you see in cp2077 where the shadows are dynamic based on light sources, but more like classic godrays and lighting shadows.
Common misconception, ray tracing has been around for a very long time. It's the advanced hardware approach that's new.

[vital oriole]

^

We actually use ray tracing for a long time

Just not capable of doing stuff we see these days without having horrible perf drop

[livid idol]

Think of skyrim as a good example on that. Torches and stuff would give off shadows, and if something moved in front of the light you could see the shadow. That's ray tracing at work.

[forest hare]

is the 1080 better or the 1650 ti mobile?

idk whats better'

[wispy crystal]

I would assume a 1080

[keen nacelle]

1080

1080 is similar to 2070 not including rtx or dlss iirc

1650 ti is like 1060 6gb perf if i had to guess

[vital oriole]

1080 is a lot better

Also nah 1650ti is just

1650 with gddr6 lmao

But mobile

1650S is more like the 1060 one

[keen nacelle]

ah kk

[heady turtle]

Nah if you liked it you wouldn't play it at all xD

[lone pond]

Can someone find me the worst card I can get for a MSI G41M4-F Micro ATX LGA775

[heady turtle]

Gt 710

[keen nacelle]

Gt 710 is the best gpu ever wdym

[lone pond]

Ok I put a gt 210 I think

[keen nacelle]

Oh u right

Dat better

[vital oriole]

gt 210

ehhhh

might as well use the onboard gpu lmao

The G41 chipset has some gma

[heady turtle]

Grab a gts450 or whatever there

[toxic sinew]

PCI gpu lmfao

[vital oriole]

just get a 20$ 1050ti from wish

gts 450 guaranteed

[heady turtle]

Exactly

[solemn panther]

Mmmm

[normal hawk]

Also expecting a 12gb 2060 and a 16gb 3070 ti 🙄

[brave violet]

@normal hawk That is correct. But ,I think the 2060 and 3070 will have GDDR6. Unless they want 3080 and 3080ti loose sales then GDDr6X

[livid idol]

450W holy...

[solemn panther]

I mean...its not that far from a overclocked 3080ti at max draw

[torpid garden]

I bet nvidia intended for that 450w spec to get leaked - look how much media publicity that's generated

[torpid garden]

??

[solemn panther]

Using msi afterburner i saw a 450w peak

[torpid garden]

Because your card doesn't have a 350w power limit

[solemn panther]

Yes

[torpid garden]

Why compare board partner 3080 ti to 3090 ti founders

[solemn panther]

So do you think we will see 500w?

[torpid garden]

Maybe on waterblock, silly otherwise unless they make a 5 slot cooler or something ridiculous

[solemn panther]

5 slot lmao

Could happen

[torpid garden]

Even with a 280 aio, need strong fans and high end paste, LM + lapped block ideally

[solemn panther]

3090ti kingpin extreme

[lavish heath]

is it a good idea to buy a 3090 founders edition? i heard it has memory heat issues

[green harness]

It's a fairly good card

If you can get it for $1500 that's a great value compared to aib models (still not exactly a value pick ofc)

[lavish heath]

i see

[cerulean rover]

Likely won't run into issues with vram unless mining

[fluid wedge]

I asked about this yesterday to this chat, is a PNY 1080Ti blower worth buying for $420? Did some research on the card and have heard only bad things about it, mainly it overheating

[cerulean rover]

Well, it's a blower.

[fluid wedge]

I'm new to building so idk much

I don't have a card atm. Just everything else

[livid idol]

Could get a liquid cooling kit for it if it ends up overheating a lot

[fluid wedge]

Its used, but looks in good condition

It'd be temporary until I get a 30 series card so just wondering if its worth it as is

[cerulean rover]

prob would depend on pcb though

and like arctic accelro no longer really around

[crisp moth]

how does evga queue work? do you just set the gpu's you want and whenever you can get one you are notified?

[cerulean rover]

if you enter now, prob gonna take like a year

but yea

[crisp moth]

oh

so no point

[fluid wedge]

Think its worth grabbing for $420 in good condition as something to hold me over?

[cerulean rover]

eh

it's just kinda annoying how aftermarket cooling solutions would be really annoying

[compact panther]

that 450W alone will be the reason why its better

only reason why 3090 beats 3080 ti at all is cuz of the honkin huge cooler

3080 ti is a full 10C hotter than 3090

[brisk flame]

it do still be under 80C tho

as far as actuall usability goes, the cooler is irrelevant

just dont put it in an H510, ya kno

[knotty horizon]

Good luck with that

[fluid wedge]

yeah i know, already been waiting over a year like most have. got really close with zotac today though

[knotty horizon]

Oof gl

[fluid wedge]

ty mate

[knotty horizon]

I just settled with a 1650 super

[knotty horizon]

If you do something like that just upgrade later

That’s what I’m probably gonna do

[livid idol]

The ironic part is the FE is one of those GPUs that would be ok in a H510 if it's allowed to pull air from the PCI slots, then that air can pass through easily over the memory and CPU.

[compact panther]

affects boost and efficency tho

i am saying

between a 3080 ti and 3090 all being equal

3080 ti would win imo

due to higher core power budget

[tacit thunder]

Genuine question.

If I didn’t care about RTX at all, then would getting a 6900XT be better than a 3090?

Of course, I understand NVidia gets better workstation benchmarks

[livid idol]

They're within a few % of each other. They trade blows depending on what game you play.

[tacit thunder]

So it really doesn’t matter as long as I don’t care about RTX?

[brisk flame]

just get whatevers cheapest

also theres more to it than just RTX

[tacit thunder]

Inflation moment

[brisk flame]

i would get the 3090

even if it were 100 more

if it were 200 more, i would go 6900xt

[tacit thunder]

Yeah, the VRAM is better on it too, right?

[brisk flame]

moar vram

other cool features

[tacit thunder]

And faster

VRAM I mean

[brisk flame]

i dunno

it really doesnt make a huge difference tbh

you can get 3090 for 1500 outside of select bestbuys next month or so

if you wait in line

[tacit thunder]

It’s really just a choice of branding I guess

I like the look of both cards either way

[brisk flame]

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6900-xt-rx6900xt-ocf-16g/p/N82E16814930057

oh

1700 in stock

not bad

and you dont need to wait and drive to get 3090 for 1500

[tacit thunder]

Not judging, but I will say I’ve not really seen ASRock before

But looks nice

[brisk flame]

?

you dont know who

ASRock

is?

[tacit thunder]

[livid idol]

Asrock makes motherboards mainly but they've made AMD GPUs for a while

[brisk flame]

you know who MSI is, right?

[tacit thunder]

Yeah.

[brisk flame]

maybe EVGA?

[tacit thunder]

Yeah…

[brisk flame]

yikes lol

yeah asrock is solid for the most part

moreso than MSI imo

MSI has constant QC issues with random crap

[tacit thunder]

I’ve just genuinely not really seen ASRock in a whole lot of places before.

[brisk flame]

they do a lot on the low end of things

also have really good high end motherboards too

ive never had an asrock board have an issue on me

i would take asrock over msi

assuming not much is known about the model

because its almost always

[tacit thunder]

Yeah, I wouldn’t know them on the motherboard side of things, especially if they’re higher end . I have an ASUS TUF mobo, the $200 one.

[brisk flame]

welp, its right there

1700

its either that or driving far away to a best buy for a 3090 at 1500

because 3090s everywhere else are way more expensive

[tacit thunder]

There’s a BB going in San Antonio, I don’t know if they’d have one

[brisk flame]

theres only like 80 stores across the nation that have them

[tacit thunder]

Texas is not the best state for traveling to a variety of stores

The closest MC is in Houston, too

Guess I’ll buy.

this ones 100 dollars cheaper

at 1600

[tacit thunder]

Sapphire one looks pretty nice

Wait, I think I need to check my case space

[brisk flame]

yeah these cards huge

[tacit thunder]

It should fit a large card

Isn’t it like 2 or 3.5 slot

[real tapir]

Hey, guys i am a junior in machine learning, i have an old used GTX Titan Z 12GB, I wanted to buy RTX 3090, because of its 24GB vram, I can buy a 3080ti 12GB but I sorta wanted a VRAM upgrade too, although my small projects don't use as that much memory for now but, they may in the future. or should i wait for RTX 40 series because i dont want to my single penny going to the scalpers, and i have looked almost everywhere and all the 3090s are scalped as hell.

I rarely use discord but its the only place where i can get this kind of specific answer

asked same question on Reddit, nobody responded except one douchebag who said "Nobody ever needs RTX 3090 and youre just flexing"

[heady turtle]

It depends, you could try swap with a gamer that has a 3090 for a 3080 ti and a bit of cash

But there's a buying guide in the pins here if you're wondering how to buy

Newegg sometimes has 3090s for direct sale tho

[cerulean rover]

They're relatively less desirable for gamers because of the price.

[heady turtle]

Yeah but some gamers might have 3090s before 3080 ti came out or something and would take the 3080 ti and a few hundred

[umbral briar]

Is there even a performance difference to the 3090 and 3080 ti?

Aside from vram

[cerulean rover]

More cores on the 3090

[keen nacelle]

For most games it's like 2%

[heady stratus]

The VRAM is special, you have to custom mod your 3090 just to keep VRAM considerable temp

[vital oriole]

wut

A good 3090 will be able to keep its vram cool

And gddr6x isn't special

[cerulean rover]

is just hot

[vital oriole]

^

3080ti is also as hot on the vram

cause g6x

[cerulean rover]

anything with g6x can get hot without good thermal pads

[vital oriole]

ye

[heady turtle]

Only if you have a bad cooler lol

[compact panther]

why not use college computers

or aws

[prime jolt]

do 3080 FEs ever get dropped really now? obviously hard to get ahold of regardless at msrp but just curious if they can be found occasionally from big retailers

[heady turtle]

Yes best buy only

Irl drops announced bout a day before

[prime jolt]

ty

[normal hawk]

My 3090 is fine

3080 ti's get hotter anyway due to the (typically) smaller cooler on them.

My 3080 ti actually idles much hotter than my 3090.

[heady turtle]

Nope 3080 tis use the same cooler as 3090s

[heady turtle]

Don't see why this would be the case either

[livid idol]

Funny, my 3080 ti is cooler in almost every way compared to my 3090

Only core temp is higher on 3080 ti because the 3090 is on an AIO

[normal hawk]

Maybe theres an airflow issue, but I doubt it. my 3080 ti is in a much better case. 4000D airflow vs the mirror black 570x

my 3080 ti is a lesser card though, it has windforce fans which worked well for my 2070 super, but maybe not so well for a 3080 ti \

so Aorus extreme (non AIO) vs Gaming OC. the difference is almost 10 degrees in a better case

wait. im dumb... my fan curve had reset on MSI afterburner 😫

[livid idol]

Well that'll do it lol

[normal hawk]

it was on 0...wtf MSI

[livid idol]

They probably had it set to 0 rpm until it hit 60

[heady turtle]

I have that its 0 fan until 60c that's stupid then you hear a jet, just do a gradual curve

I mean i could understand 0 fan til 30 mb 40 but 60 lol

[solemn panther]

My 3080ti has a core temp of 86 at most

[heady turtle]

thought it would be better on a ftw3

[normal hawk]

I am going to be honest, I wear nice headphones so I just keep my fan at like 70-100

hence why I didn't know my fans weren't spinning lol

my Aorus F125f showed up today, and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't set up 240hz. Had to set it in windows settings before I could see it in Nvidia control panel. had a mini panic attack lol

[heady turtle]

nice lol

[quiet shuttle]

hey guys got a serious question

so my GPU gave me some dead pixels a couple of days ago and it fixes it self when i move my mouse but after that happened my computer turned off instantly after i booted up Apex is that bad

[toxic sinew]

Sounds like stuck pixels

[quiet shuttle]

i got a pic

[toxic sinew]

Which are different than dead pixels, stuck pixels can be fixed

[quiet shuttle]

They were black

their was a big one but i never noticed it

[toxic sinew]

Those do not look like stuck or dead pixels but rather a form of artifacting possibly

[quiet shuttle]

bigger then my courser

so would it be my GPU i have not been getting good FPS on some games

like New world i get 70fps on high and it dips down to 55fps

My GPU is a 3060 also

hello???

[normal hawk]

Maybe new world broke it 🤷‍♂️

[quiet shuttle]

probably

also i get 40FPS on the beta of battlefield also on high

[normal hawk]

Another new world casualty uwu

[quiet shuttle]

well this happened a while back my GPU was blinking red once and i get trash FPS on Apex i unplug the GPU and now i am getting 150-130FPS on apex now it use to be 90-60FPS

Long, im tired and hungry

[onyx orbit]

extremely weird

tried another vbios

this card will accept compatible vbioses without issue and everything seems fine but the moment you hop into a benchmark or anything else you get horrible performance

it only likes the stock vbios, not newer ones lol

No, no gpus have ramping fans with memory just with core

And why is grandma's walker in the background?

I'd say no when you can pretty easily find a 6600XT at a lower price

[dense cliff]

Does anyone know how many hz a GT710 can output in 4k? Trying to find a junk gpu to use on a ThinkPad from 2012, but the kicker is that I need a gpu that doesn't require external psu power.

[cerulean rover]

Um

What are you trying to run on it?

[dense cliff]

Just videos and some coding stuff for html projects

[cerulean rover]

Don't expect it to smooth or do 30fps, but it will theoretically run 4k30hz

Theoretically

In practice, expect single digit fps imo

[dense cliff]

Yeah its also going to be running in x1 speed

[cerulean rover]

Oh that's not going to be fun at all

Gt 710 is already pcie 2.0 x16 or x8

[dense cliff]

It's an ExpressCard port to pci express x1

On the laptop itself

[cerulean rover]

Honestly, I'm thinking that setup would do like a single frame per second at 4k, maybe less

[dense cliff]

Bummer thanks for the info though

[cerulean rover]

Yea, the card itself isn't exactly powerful to start off, and then having to use converters and the GPU having to use pcie 2.0 x1 leaves it heavily bandwidth limited

[dense cliff]

Well I guess could just get a raspberry pi 4 only has 4gb of ram, but the output resolution is right

[crisp moth]

I know there isn't a definite answer for this but is there a chance of bestbuy restocking at the end of teh month?

[livid idol]

A chance? Sure. If they're going to do it at all it's usually the end of the month. Who knows if they'll change things because of all the fights that broke out last time, though.

Wait for 3090 ti

So is the 3090 but you're still considering that

Get the FE and profit

I just hope they fix the power delivery if they're setting it to 450W stock

Apparently that's what's blowing up on new world

[drowsy mirage]

what manufacturer would you recommend for a 3080ti?

Ive been wanting to upgrade and have been out of the loop since prices shot up

[keen nacelle]

Whatever you can find closest to msrp that isn't msi 2x or any gigabyte 2 fan model for the most part

There's a few other models to avoid but I forget which

Asus rog strix is the best air cooled i believe, but also the most expensive. Evga ftw3 is a good one to go for

[livid idol]

Avoid msi Ventus also, they charge like it's a premium model but it's below average cooling

[normal hawk]

Gigabyte gaming OC is fairly close to MSRP compared to MSI, ZOTAC, and PNY so if you see that it might be worth it. Not a bad card, just nothing special

[keen nacelle]

i have the gaming oc 3060 ti, it stays cool enough

havent seen over 75 on core

wait

thats a lie

i got 77 once

By .1 fps, but still

These benchmarks are crazy

Probably CPU bottleneck holding it back a lot tbh

[magic wing]

nah

9900k wont bottleneck a 6700xt

[normal hawk]

The 1440p medium performance is pretty close to 1080p medium

And I'm not saying the 6700xt is being bottlenecked.

[magic wing]

far cry 6 is just really badly optimised tbh

I'm saying that's why Nvidia GPUs are all really close in performance to each other.

Optimization is trash too tbh

Think that's normal for Ubisoft though at this point.

hopefullly under $800 if possible, but I just need the tower

[heady turtle]

you already have parts?

[distant kindle]

So far, I've found an intel CPU for $100, an m.2 SSD for about $80, a mobo for $104, 2x8 RAM for $70, and a $50 PSU

[magic wing]

I would go igpu for that price

[magic wing]

models?

[distant kindle]

I don't remember

[heady turtle]

can you check

[magic wing]

can you go and check

[distant kindle]

yeah. what info do you want

[heady turtle]

the models

[magic wing]

model of each and every part u have bought

[heady turtle]

you can use https://pcpartpicker.com/list for convenience if you want btw instead of walls of text

[distant kindle]

ok. thanks

[heady turtle]

can you still return things? because it might be optimal if you can

[magic wing]

lets look at the parts before thinking of returns tbh

[heady turtle]

true true

[distant kindle]

I haven't actually bought anything. I've just been searching for parts

[magic wing]

it might be fine

[heady turtle]

ohhh thats fine then, i can do you a list for 800$ right?

do you need wifi?

[distant kindle]

Need wifi, yes

[heady turtle]

okay

[distant kindle]

as long as it can run modern games at 30+ frames

[magic wing]

which ones are you thinking of

[distant kindle]

apex, titanfall, no man's sky, games like that

[heady turtle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZzHbqp id do something like this @distant kindle

[distant kindle]

@heady turtle thank you so much

[heady turtle]

Np

[distant kindle]

would an i3-10100F be valid? the clock speed and core count are good enough for what I'm looking for, but is there a hidden problem with it?

[heady turtle]

It would be fine for not too much more you'll get a good bit more performance, you can't really shop my clock speed nowadays anyway

And the 10400 will be a smoother experience

[distant kindle]

So my CPU that I have in my laptop is a 2.8GHz 4 core, but it normally runs around 3.2GHz. I don't seem to have any problems with it even playing high load games

[heady turtle]

theres no point comparing clock speeds tho its completely irrelevant cross generations/platforms but trust me 6 cores will be a smoother better experience

[distant kindle]

alright. Thanks

[green harness]

The difference in performance between laptop and desktop parts is also pretty big

[distant kindle]

Definitely

[vital oriole]

What's a laptop has to do with this build request?

[distant kindle]

It's the PC I'm using right now

[green harness]

Did you read the thread?

[vital oriole]

I don't see any threads

[green harness]

Literally three posts above they mention they're on a laptop

[vital oriole]

The thread's gone for me

Ah

Hmn, aight

[green harness]

Yeah I meant conversation. Thank you for translating my poor word choice Rommy

[vital oriole]

I didn't scroll up enough then

Heya

[flat grove]

A friend of mine is willing to sell me his 970 for 100. Good upgrade from 750ti?

[heady turtle]

Definitely

[flat grove]

Sweet. It’s been a solid 7 years since I was in the PC scene but I went to Best Buy a while back and asked about a 1030 and the guy there said it wasn’t a big change from the 750ti so that doubted my faith in knowing about newer cards haha

Thanks everyone

[livid idol]

That's a big enough jump that games you could only do 720p before you could do 1080p after

[knotty horizon]

You think it’s bad if my gpu runs at 100% due to a slight bottleneck?

I don’t mind the noise

I played path of exile and noticed it was running at 100%

At full graphics

[livid idol]

GPU should be at around 100% usage
If you mean 100% fan it's probably getting hot

[knotty horizon]

My cpu was like 25

Tho

I wasn’t playing a cpu game though

[livid idol]

That's overall usage I'm guessing. You probably have at least 1 or 2 threads running near max.

[knotty horizon]

It’s a r7 3700x paired with a 1650 super

With 32 ram

[livid idol]

I would very much expect 100% usage from the GPU then

[knotty horizon]

Is that bad by any means tho

[livid idol]

No, it's designed for that

[analog badge]

is getting a 6600xt for $850 good at the moment?

[toxic sinew]

No lmao

[analog badge]

shouldve specified

i forgor 💀

its that or a gt 730 for 150 aud

[toxic sinew]

That's still a pretty bad price for a 6600 XT

MSRP is around $380

[analog badge]

or there was a 3070 for 2k

yea im trying to find a good card for my brother

because i know a bit more than he does about computer

oh i have no money

im finding it for him

i'm too poor to buy a gts 450

[keen nacelle]

how hot is too hot for gdd6x?

3080 asus tuf

[hot folio]

What are you temps now?

[keen nacelle]

my friend says while mining 105 on mem

corsair 275R with 3 stock fans

according to google it shouldnt go over 100 but i dont really trust google

[green harness]

105c is quite hot for vram

[keen nacelle]

alr thanks

[keen nacelle]

he said its 100 normally

he was looking at the wrong thing

i suggested adding/replacing the stock fans, using artic p12 pwms

[hot folio]

New pads and paste would definitely help

[keen nacelle]

yeah he doesnt want to take apart the card

he's been into pcs since he was like 8 but still uncomfortable with taking a card apart, I know I wouldn't want to do it either

he's gonna buy a 5 pack of artic p12 pwms

i suggested it but he said he doesn't want to

surpised it's getting this hot tho, since asus tends to have good cooling

[normal hawk]

My brother has an RTX 3080 on 100% GPU usage in Minecraft lol

Using the RTX on bedrock lol

[livid idol]

Must be doing 4k or better for that kind of usage

[normal hawk]

Yes

On the Aorus 43" monitor i had bought.

He's using it until I get my apartment.

There are texture packs he's getting low memory error on O.o

He has 32gbs of ram and 10gb vram lol. How is that possible

[livid idol]

Impressive. Must need the ti.

Extra 2gb

[normal hawk]

2080 ti maybe since that was the peak when people started working on the RTX packs

[livid idol]

For minecraft at that

[fading finch]

how important is the match between MB and graphics card? when i click on find a match on the MB, it takes me to $800+ cards. that is as much as the rest of the parts

[little sleet]

doesnt really matter so long as the mobo can actually support it, doing "match" will probably take you to whatever is "best" for the mobo such as lets say you chose a mobo with pcie gen4 itll probably take you to gpu's that have gen4 even though you could just throw a gt1030 on your mobo

[fading finch]

how can i tell how many displays it will support?

my current one will support 2

[little sleet]

can always look up the gpu you plan on getting but most cards can support multiple outputs, 3-4 and some more depending on resolution. should you? not really depending on what youre doing

[fading finch]

just have room for 2 on my desk, unless i get some really fancy ones that are stacked on top of each other.

[little sleet]

youll be more than fine with 2 no matter the gpu really

[fading finch]

thanks

[cunning saddle]

It matters because if your video card is too fast for your cpu, or if your gpu isn't fast enough for your cpu you get a bottleneck. In games this leads to lag, stuttering and a very aggravating experience. Search for bottleneck calculator, you will find many pages where you can select your cpu and GPU and it will tell you a percentage of bottleneck with those items (bottle neck happens when the video cannot process the information thrown at it, and vice versa)

[timid narwhal]

do you know just what kind of a discrepancy you would need in order to have actual bottlenecking?

[fading finch]

wonder if that is what is happening with my laptop, got one of my monitors hooked to it rn, due to wanting a bigger screen while i get a new tower. every once in a while, the monitor goes black for a few sec, but the laptop screen stays on.

[timid narwhal]

bascially you would need to match an AMD FX processor to a 2080ti

[cunning saddle]

yes.

search for FPS and Bottleneck Calculator

CPU GPU RAM Resolution Quality Settings Average Bottleneck (Lower is better)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-57 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 8GB DDR3 2400MHz 1080p ultra 68.9%
Intel Core i9-10900K NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 32GB DDR4 3800MHz 1080p ultra 0.7%

there is a huge difference in games and such. just loading windows and notepad,not so much

[fading finch]

GIGABYTE GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile 2GB, GV-N1030D5-2GL
AMD Ryzen 7 3rd Gen - RYZEN 7 3800X Matisse (Zen 2) 8-Core 3.9 GHz (4.5 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 105W 100-100000025BOX Desktop Processor

these are what i got

for video and cpu

[timid narwhal]

Those are not accurate at all

[little sleet]

think bottleneck calculator is the only thing that can rival userbenchmark

[heady turtle]

They suckkk

[pallid coyote]

^^^^

[lone pond]

What card can squeeze the most out of a MSI G41M4-F ATX LGA775 Motherboard

[solar arch]

You cute ayden

[lone pond]

Very

Now tell me what I can get out of this cursed motherboard

[lone pond]

I want my lasagna John

[magic wing]

3090

In sli

[lone pond]

.-.

@magic wing is this even reasonable speed for its price 🤣

[magic wing]

For a 500$ build i would go 11500 on a cheap b560 board with some 3200mts ram and use windows unactivatef

[lone pond]

I’ll take that as it is not practical

Lol
