I'd still prefer hp to skytech lmao

[green harness]

Nice!

[normal hawk]

Depends on the HP.

[shrewd smelt]

Hey is this a good deal? I know it is a one fan, but am I able to mod it? I am looking to game at 1080p high refresh rate and mine Bitcoin when idle. If it is good, please let me buy it and don’t steal it from me lol https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-12gb-xlr8-gaming-revel-epic-x-rgb-single-fan-graphics-card/6454318.p?skuId=6454318

[heady turtle]

God no, overpriced af and no you cant mod it to be 2 fan or something

[shrewd smelt]

Ok thanks

[heady turtle]

ummmmm

ohhh 3070 ti

Yes yes i was like jesus what you do

[normal hawk]

I was also worried for a moment

[heady turtle]

I was like my 3070 perfs better

[normal hawk]

What games does he play?

Oh gross

Was gonna say I'll beat him at the game and tell him he's losing cause he doesn't get enough frames

But nah i ain't touching a battle royale outside of work.

I go back on the 25th though 🤔

I'll trade you a 2070 super for it.

I'll choke it in my Phanteks itx case

Mesh side panels so probably

[heady turtle]

i was like ruh roh rommy

[normal hawk]

What model 3070 ti?

Ah

I wonder why it's performance is poor.

[heady turtle]

I did oc but keep in mind my power limit is 100% and can't go up anymore

[normal hawk]

I actually think that scored higher than the ZOTAC 3080 though

lmao

[heady turtle]

Doubt it tbh

[normal hawk]

This was done first thing after My brother powered it on

To be fair, 1 of the ram modules seems to have been dead and we had to replace it. Maybe if we do it again we'll score higher? Lol

Nice scam

[heady turtle]

@solemn panther

[solemn panther]

thx

[heady turtle]

welc

[rustic pulsar]

ara ara

[heady turtle]

Ooof spensive

[rustic pulsar]

yes but mobo is like 200 so i could sell that

[heady turtle]

Ehhh

You could sell for 150-170 probs if someone wants it tho

[rustic pulsar]

looks like they go for upper hundreds lower 200s on ebay

[heady turtle]

Odd

[honest hound]

What temps do you 3070 guys get?

[heady turtle]

Fair enough, they worth 260ish new i guess

[rustic pulsar]

plus on ebay they go for like 1200

[heady turtle]

50-60c ish

[heady turtle]

Ahh you talking bout the 3070

[rustic pulsar]

yeah

[keen nacelle]

Varies depending on model, case, cooling, climate, etc

[cosmic bluff]

To help understand your questions on the temps of 3070 i have a 3090 and airflow design case and ambient temp of 88°F of the room my gpu stays around at most of 65°C if im running 5k VR so if you have proper airflow and get a non ventus 3070 you should be fine once fan curve is set

A 3070 wont run as hot if you have a fan curve

[normal hawk]

Why fan curve when you can fan plateau? /s

[cosmic bluff]

Only plateau 100% fan speed if overclocking thats what i do

And i get 47°C with 100% fan but i also have a Boeing 747 in my bedroom then at that rate

[normal hawk]

I have nice headphones so I don't hear my fans

which is nice because I have 3 PC's at my desk

[rigid igloo]

i dont know much about pc's. however i got a 3070 super assuming it was good enough

so uh, is it actually good? lol

[rustic pulsar]

Yes very good for both 1080p and 1440p

wait 3070 super?

[rustic pulsar]

I dont think 3070 super is a thing

[rigid igloo]

sorry

3070 ti

[rustic pulsar]

Yes very good card

[rigid igloo]

ok sick

[rustic pulsar]

How much of a difference does PCIe 3 vs 4 make for gaming?

[normal hawk]

Uhhh not much as of right now

[heady turtle]

Yeah but it's no better than a 3070

[rigid igloo]

uh ok so is a 3070 good?

[heady turtle]

Nothing/negligible at this moment

[heady turtle]

Yeah

[rustic pulsar]

cool thx

[rigid igloo]

sick

[honest hound]

For some people it is. Just depends on what resolution you play it

I made the mistake of buying a 3070 and it dosent have high fps at 4k

[rigid igloo]

i just want to play games like gta 5 on high graphics, thats abt it

[cerulean rover]

3070 does 4k60 fine, just don't expect 4k144

[rigid igloo]

and be able to mine crypto

k

[cerulean rover]

Prob gonna get lhr but eh, should be able to mine two coins at once for the bypass

[rigid igloo]

lhr?

[honest hound]

Low hash rate

[cerulean rover]

Nvidia calls it lite hash rate afaik, but yea, it just halves eth hash rate

[heady turtle]

Best bet for lhr cards is just nicehash so you can mine raven or whatever and make the most profit but get payed in btc instead of raven etc

[cerulean rover]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/new-software-lets-you-mine-two-different-cryptocurrencies-at-once-on-lhr-nvidia-cards

With trex

[heady turtle]

Wait what

[livid idol]

Oh damn, I knew they'd figure it out eventually

[heady turtle]

Wow

That's sick

[livid idol]

I'd be happy to do 70% eth and 30% raven

[heady turtle]

Yeah, is raven a bit better supported by exchanges now btw?

[livid idol]

Haven't looked recently

[frozen owl]

good question

XD

[mighty island]

lmao

how far back did you have to dig for that

[frozen owl]

uh

#general-chat

[mighty island]

that was before I built my first pc don't bully me for being a noob

[keen nacelle]

3600x is fine with 2080s

I run 3600 with 3060 ti fine

[mighty island]

i know

why are you bullying me 😦

[keen nacelle]

It's fun

[mighty island]

time to remove my own techie role

g-guys... will ryzen 9 5950x bottleneck 3060ti? i play maplestory in 4K

[hot folio]

Yes. I’ll take the 5950x off of your hands and I’ll give you a 3700x, I dont think that will bottleneck

[mighty island]

ok

can i trade my 3060ti for something that won't bottleneck

do you have gtx 1050ti?

i'll straight trade

[hot folio]

I got an rx480 it’ll be even better

😉

[twin dove]

I have a friend with a gtx 480

I'm trying to help him get warzone on his pc

but it's reporting insufficient vram storage

and then directx errors

I'm hoping he'll be able to get by on low settings

I told him to download the latest drivers, will that do it?

[vital oriole]

gpu too old

[toxic sinew]

Most likely not, it's probably just too old

[vital oriole]

^

it has like

1.5 gigs vram?

ya

2 gigs vram min basically

1.5 too low

the game won't even let you play sadly

not enough vram

[twin dove]

shame, I'm gaming with a rx 550 equivalent nvidia quadro and get by

I kinda thought his card would work too

I mean it makes as much heat as your typical truck engine

[twin dove]

ok, so I just convinced my friend into buying a gtx 980

how well would it pair with the FX-8350?

[vital oriole]

cpu bottleneck

But not too bad

Shouldn't be an issue most of the times

[twin dove]

that's what I was thinking, benchmarks show the FX-8350 performing better than I anticipated

I'll get the mobo model and psu wattage in just a moment

[livid idol]

Overclock the 8350 and it should keep up well enough in most games

[twin dove]

He says his psu is 650 watt

the corsair CX650f

[livid idol]

The 980 only wants about 165W so that leaves plenty of room for overclocks

[twin dove]

You think this is well setup for overclocking?

he got the system pretty old and got some new components such as the psu

[livid idol]

Should be fine, just about any cheap tower cooler is better than stock

I'd move the GPU up to the top slot if possible though, it'll be fighting the power supply for air where it is

[twin dove]

probably a good idea, that's the ancient gtx 480 I was talking about

[vital oriole]

lmao

The psu is so new compared to the rest lmao

It looks weird

But good to know that they have a decent psu

[normal hawk]

minspec warzone ain't fun

at that point you might as well try to buy a used xbox or ps4 cause it'll run better

[magic wing]

Eh min spec warzone is fine

[normal hawk]

I literally worked on the game.

Using a fx-6300/3rd gen i5 and a 670 ti, or 7950 was an awful experience

Especially seeing as it's a "competitive" game

Being at a disadvantage due to hardware is awful

[magic wing]

Cpu is true but it runs on a 1650 just fine

[normal hawk]

The game is more CPU dependent than GPU. So yeah.

[normal hawk]

Haven't played on warzone on a 1650. But i have used a 1050 ti, 1060 3gb, 670 ti, and HD 7950.

All fairly bad to me 😩

[heady turtle]

670 ti you poor fella

[normal hawk]

Was on minspec testing for like 3 months lol

before warzone came out. So it was even worse than what it ran like at release 😭

[heady turtle]

Oof, kinda cool though

[normal hawk]

Had my brother redo timespy.

[keen nacelle]

Is that oced?

Gpu that is

[compact panther]

that looks stock

[keen nacelle]

Hwat

This is stock on my 3060 ti

And it has a small factory oc, I believe 100mhz on mem

[compact panther]

i get 22k stock 6900 xt

[keen nacelle]

19426 ON A 3070?

[compact panther]

that says 3080

[keen nacelle]

Jesus

I'm blind lmao

[keen nacelle]

This makes much more sense

[solemn panther]

Hhmmm

[normal hawk]

It's stock and ZOTAC

[keen nacelle]

Thought it was a 3070 lol, misread

[normal hawk]

It's all good lol

And nah, i never had the chance to buy a good priced 3070/3070 ti. The one that I had in shuffle was 1.2k

[mighty island]

16976 is definitely stock performance

my bottom of the barrel garbage wood sample 3080 hits 18902

better samples with higher power limit should exceed 20k

[livid idol]

Meanwhile my garbage 3090 couldn't even hit 20k overclocked

It's gone now btw, sold

[heady turtle]

pog, someone elses problem

[livid idol]

Yep. Let them deal with it.
It would be good in some cases, like an ITX build, but sucks hard for my use

[heady turtle]

Big hard

[livid idol]

It wasn't even good at mining until I put kingpin bios with no throttling and better pads on it, and even then it topped out at 120MH

Anyway, hope the guy that bought it enjoys it

[heady turtle]

That's ntb but you had that fat heatsink on the back lol

How much you sell it for btw?

[livid idol]

Retail price for it, $2350. With taxes (because eBay) they paid over $2500, and I only get $2000 of it.

[heady turtle]

Wait you have to pay tax on a 2nd hand item i the us ?

Yikes 2500

[livid idol]

Yes, in most states. It's called "use tax" and applied to any online purchase where the buyer is in an applicable state

[heady turtle]

thats wack

[livid idol]

Funny thing is I'd make more profit selling locally at a loss

And the buyer would have paid less too

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-weekend-brain-goodbye-brain-trash-gif-5709446

[livid idol]

But then I'd have to deal with people and them not wanting to pay for it and trying to scam me. At least with ebay I'm covered, I took lots of photos and marked the radiator in case they try to swap it on me.

[heady turtle]

Smart

[normal hawk]

Nice

Pato, look at the link I sent in #500103216466362379

[solemn panther]

F

Model? So i can tell people to avoid lol

[livid idol]

Aorus xtreme 3090 waterforce

2x 8 pin model ☠️

[normal hawk]

^

[livid idol]

Now I have a 3080 ti FE and it hits 21k with a basic overclock, first attempt at +200/+1000/114%

[heady turtle]

114% man my 3070 stops at 100% lol

[livid idol]

You need a new bios then lol

[heady turtle]

Probs, still managed to get to 15k once tho

[solemn panther]

My 3080ti can barely hit 22k score

[livid idol]

I haven't tested mine since I got the corsair 12 pin gpu cable, but the power seems a lot more stable now when mining so I'm guessing the score will be better.

I'll probably test after my 6x p12 come tomorrow

[solemn panther]

Yeah sure results

[normal hawk]

🤔

[cerulean rover]

imo, no, it's like 600$ for a 3060 plus a 150$ aio kinda thing

[normal hawk]

Why can't I ever win the Xbox or PS5 😭

[cerulean rover]

rip

[normal hawk]

It'd be nice for my ITX case. Better than the 3x fan 2070 super. But eh e.e

[livid idol]

Xbox stays in stock pretty long on best buy lately, but ps5 has the whole paywall thing now

[normal hawk]

Which one? Series X or Series S?

[livid idol]

X

[normal hawk]

:0

I need to watch best buy more

[dreamy dragon]

DeadlyBeast#2767 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[livid idol]

The paywall or the xboxes?

You have to pay for the best buy membership, $200, to be eligible to buy PS5

https://youtu.be/NpIs6pWR9YI

They're totally in their rights to try to profit any way that they can, but it doesn't look good for them yeah

[autumn crest]

are amd gpus any easier to get?

[toxic sinew]

No

[autumn crest]

are they in the newegg shuffle?

[toxic sinew]

Sometimes I think?

But Nvidia cards are usually better for the price

[autumn crest]

im trying to get anything tbh

[livid idol]

Check bundles on newegg, some are in stock and you just have to buy a motherboard or something with it

[autumn crest]

ill look every now and then

[livid idol]

You know who's going to pay for that membership? Scalpers that know they can have a better chance at buying them and can make it pay for itself

[compact panther]

graphics? or combined

[livid idol]

Graphics

I toned down my cpu overclock

[normal hawk]

They are easy to get. Just not affordable. AIB's are scalping them.

[autumn crest]

rip

[normal hawk]

They are in stock everywhere. Only ones you should look at imo are the 6600, 6600xt (if you need a Mobo or are on a budget), 6800 XT(if you can get it without a bundle), or the 6900xt(if you can get it for 1599).

Of course if you can get it through AMD Direct on Thursday drops then any is fine.

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6800-xt-rx6900xt-pgd-16g/p/N82E16814930052

Here's a 6900xt for 1599 btw. 😩 Nothing special about it.

[compact panther]

6900 XT OC formula is $1699

great card

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6900-xt-rx6900xt-ocf-16g/p/N82E16814930057?Description=oc formula&cm_re=oc_formula-_-14-930-057-_-Product
$1629 again

actually

[normal hawk]

How is that compared to the XFX Speedster Merc 319?

It's 1699 still on my Newegg 🤔

Oh with 70$ off promo

Not bad. Definitely better than the Phantom Gaming.

[fading pelican]

games crashing after new gpu?

I used DDU to delete previous driver and installed the latest one from AMD.com

[normal hawk]

Was about to ask that

[fading pelican]

about what

[normal hawk]

Your driver's lol

What GPU and what games?

[livid idol]

Power supply and cpu too

[knotty horizon]

And 100$+ in games

[fading pelican]

rx 6700xt xfx qick on minecraft watchdogs 2 and GTA5

[normal hawk]

Ye

[fading pelican]

PSU: cx650f rgb CPU: ryzen 2700 oc 4.025ghz

i know my cpu is bottlenecking but I'm getting r5 5600x

[livid idol]

Run them with your cpu overclock off and see if it still crashes

[fading pelican]

ok

[cerulean rover]

Better yet, reset cmos and then just set xmp

That'll un-do any weird things that happen to be enabled

Assuming oc through bios not rm

[fading pelican]

it's my first oc but when I tried to oc my ram to 3466mhz on xmp it doesn't change anything

I turned xmp on at 3466 but it didn't work

[livid idol]

I'm thinking the old gpu didn't stress the cpu enough to be a problem, and the new one is putting it on full load in those cpu heavy games

[cerulean rover]

Zen+ imc can't guarantee you anything above like 3000 so it could be imc limitation

[fading pelican]

i think it should be at least 3200 because that was what I bought. trident z rgb 16gb 3200

[livid idol]

Yeah best I could do on my 2700 with synced flck was 3200

[fading pelican]

it defaults at 2133 for some reason

[cerulean rover]

2133 is jedec

[fading pelican]

ok doing rn

[cerulean rover]

Yea 3200 was even unstable on my 2700, although it was also a very high chance the ram kit was at fault

[fading pelican]

i'm back, I turned on xmp at 3466 for ram and didn't oc cpu.

[fading pelican]

if i were to oc do how do I test if cpu oc is stabel?

[livid idol]

Prime95 small fft mode. If any of the threads crashes before about an hour, it's unstable.

[cerulean rover]

Smallfft on zen+ might be a bit unreasonable with avx, could do occt small dataset

[autumn crest]

is there a way to tell when gpus will restock at bestbuy? online or in store?

[vital oriole]

Follow the news

[heady turtle]

Best buy announce it on their site usually 12 noon ish on the day before from what I've seen before, and there should be a few articles about it again

[autumn crest]

[heady turtle]

[vital oriole]

[autumn crest]

[ember oak]

Come to Australia if you want a 3060 for $1200

[heady turtle]

Unless you want to stream, 6600xt is available for like 900-1000

[ember oak]

Yeah still alot haha but good point

[heady turtle]

Well aud to usd is less and i mean at least there is stock

[keen nacelle]

Opinions on zotac amp holo 3070 ti? Is the cooling ok on it?

[normal hawk]

It's Zotac

ZOTAC should only be gotten in Prebuilts or Trade ups. You trading your 3060 ti for it? Go for it.

;P

[magic wing]

Surprisingly good

[magic wing]

so?

[keen nacelle]

yeah i am

not for a few weeks tho

[normal hawk]

ZOTAC is literally scalping their own cards

[magic wing]

How does that affect the cooling on them?

[normal hawk]

But if you wanna pay increased prices that's on you

[keen nacelle]

i think top meant its not a good card to buy talking msrp

[magic wing]

but ur question was about temps

[compact panther]

its one of the best 3070 tis actually

the 3070 ti amp holo extreme

[keen nacelle]

Is it worth it to straight trade my fhr 3060 ti gigabyte gaming oc pro to it?

[compact panther]

if you dont mine, why not

[keen nacelle]

I mine on the side, but 3070 ti with the eth hack gets the same efficiency

[compact panther]

amp holo or amp holo extreme

[solemn panther]

extreme

[keen nacelle]

What about gaming x trio 3060 ti?

[compact panther]

worse than a 3070 ti

[keen nacelle]

Well yeah

But he has it plus cash

And I don't really need the perf boost

Since all I'm playing right now is val and mc

Is the cooling on it ok?

Hes offering it plus 250

[compact panther]

ask for $300

[keen nacelle]

Hes driving 2+ hours to me and mine is used for 10 months, his is bnib

[normal hawk]

I'd say the 250 is fine. He's paying for the hash rate huh?

[keen nacelle]

Yeah

[keen nacelle]

Google is showing the gaming x trio as one of the best 3060 ti aibs, is that true?

A few different sites are actually

[normal hawk]

Gaming trio from who

MSI?

[keen nacelle]

Msi gaming x trio

Well technichally he just said gaming x but idt there's another model with gaming x in it lmao

[normal hawk]

I don't have experience with MSI cards. Only Gigabyte, ASRock, XFX, Asus and Zotac

[keen nacelle]

Ah

Out of what you know where would you rank gaming oc pro?

Mid tier right?

[normal hawk]

My 3080 ti is slightly above average at stock settings.

[livid idol]

I can tell you my 2070 MSI gaming Z is one of the best models, and that hopefully transferred to the newer generation

[normal hawk]

Oh but out of my cards, though because it and the 3090 are my first high end cards, i can't really rank them fairly

[keen nacelle]

yeah fair

[fervent star]

anyone order a card from rembolex? sounds and looks super sketch but just askin

[cosmic bluff]

if its sounds too good to be true then your getting scammed and possibly a box

[fervent star]

yeh its definitely sketch i found the same website, same prices wth a different name

looks exactly the same

man i just need a 3070 to start this build

[normal hawk]

What's your budget? If you're desperate Amazon warehouse has some severely overpriced ones.

Actually nevermind, they were bought.

They have a 3080 ti that's not insanely priced 🤔 i wonder what the condition is lol.

[fervent star]

yehh im tryna go for msrp XD

max like 700 bucks

[livid idol]

[normal hawk]

It's a good looking movie without a doubt

[solemn panther]

mm yes

an escape from this messed up planet

[livid idol]

Yes an escape from this messed up planet right onto another one with the social commentary about exploitation of resources

[solemn panther]

Earth problems being brought to a peaceful one

[normal hawk]

Vertically mounted GPU's are typically better for sag right? Cause gravity pulls the unscrewed part downward in line with the screwed in part on the Io shield?

Would that also help PC's you're traveling with?

[fervent star]

the amd equivalent of the 3070 is the 6700xt or the 6800?

tried the amd queue this morning no luck but just curious

[keen nacelle]

6800 is slightly better, i believe 6700xt is closer to 3060 ti

ahh FE?

[fervent star]

ye

wait what about 10 minutes

[brave violet]

you got 10 minutes before they release the card to other buyer in line @fervent star

[fervent star]

ah I see

[fervent star]

just had a 3070ti but it's not within 250 miles this is stupid

why don't they offer shipping for it bruh

[vapid wind]

Almost 10 months later my step-up to an RTX 3080 from a 3070 has finally come up. Though at this point I don't think I'll actually go through with it.

[livid idol]

3070 is still a really strong performer at any resolution

[heady turtle]

If you're happy with the 3070 then why bother getting the 3080

Especially since you can keep mining with that non lhr 3070, keep the profits coming 🤤

[magic wing]

bigger number better

[cerulean rover]

Unless the price is right

[heady turtle]

Well yeah but they gonna have to pay penny markup

[vapid wind]

@livid idol @heady turtle Yeah my thinking was that when I got the step-up the 3070 could tide me over for around 3 months, but now this long I've had this 3070 for almost a year and in another 3 I'll have to think about upgrading.

[heady turtle]

Up to you i suppose but unless you tryna play 4k high refresh jump to 3080 not worth imo

[vapid wind]

Play at 1440P/144hz anyways.

My thinking around middle of last year was that if I got the 3080 it would be like 2025 before I had to upgrade my GPU.

Would I have to pay a new adjusted price higher than the initial MSRP for the 3080 step-up anyways?

[keen nacelle]

I've seen people do 1:1 trades fhr 3070 to lhr 3080 btw

r/hardwareswap

[heady turtle]

Really?

[fervent star]

does the low hash rate affect gaming performance at all or is it just mining stuff?

[heady turtle]

Just mining

[fervent star]

gotcha

[stone wraith]

Guys my rtx 3060 ti graphics fans arent spinning for some reason. Gpu is at 52c. Its an MSI ventus 2x

Is that normal or an issue?

[supple socket]

that seams like an issue... try using msi afterburner to make the fans go manually

seems*

[compact panther]

it has fan stop on idke

idle

[glass adder]

finally won the shuffle after however long its been happening, grabbed a 3060ti and an Aorus b550 for $670ish

[heady turtle]

Nice

[rustic pulsar]

Congrats!!!!🎉 enjoy the card 3060ti is great!

[wispy pike]

My evga queue email came today

a little more than i wanted after tax and shipping but who knows when my next queue item will pop

[compact panther]

@wispy pike use my evga code

[glass adder]

thx! i love it so far, getting 90+ on 1440p high and 130ish on 1080p ultra, 65+ and 90+ with Freesync on.. now just need to pair it with a 5800x to upgrade from my 3700x

still wanting to get a hold of a 3080 or 3080ti but beggars cannot be choosers lol

[autumn crest]

does bestbuy restock the 1660 supers?

[heady turtle]

Nowhere does they haven't been in production for about a year and a bit

[heady turtle]

Ehh i wouldn't bother with that upgrade tbh

[glass adder]

youre probably right, but im a glutton lol

[heady turtle]

I'd wait to see what ryzen 3d is like as it's supposed to give a big gaming bump over ryzen 5000, and is supposed to be coming soonish

[autumn crest]

the 3060 ti fe still restocks tho right?

[heady turtle]

Yes

Completely different generation

[crisp moth]

is 40% usage at 50C on idle bad for a 2060 super?

[livid idol]

What are you looking at to measure usage? Task manager is bad at that

[crisp moth]

pj

oh

I'm using task manager

I just got a ultrawide and was wondering if that would affect pc performance significantly

[livid idol]

Use HWinfo to measure usage

Some GPUs have fan curves set so the fans are stopped until it's over 50-60C

[heady turtle]

Could be task manager doing task manager things or if you have one of those wallpaper apps on steam they do it too if moving that could be causing the 40%

[crisp moth]

OHHh

I have that yea

I have wallpaper engine

[livid idol]

Yep that'll do it

[crisp moth]

So technically a ultrawide shouldn't affect performance right?

[livid idol]

Not anything that would be noticeable

If you look at theoreticals like a little extra vram usage to draw more pixels yes, but not in real world situations

[crisp moth]

And I just turned off wallpaper engine and it went straight down to 5% usage

[analog badge]

Just saw a 3080 ti advertised for $2800

yikes

[livid idol]

Keep in mind it was probably using 40% of the lowest power mode, which is like 3% of max mode

[crisp moth]

Thats a thing?

[heady turtle]

I mean it would in terms of fps, if you take the pixels of a regular 1920x1080= ~2.1mil pixels vs ultra wide 3840x1080=~3.8mil pixels it's a big enough difference

Like in games

In desktop same difference

[crisp moth]

Yea I'm not gaming on it

[heady turtle]

Ahh

[livid idol]

You can see for yourself, in nvidia control panel there's a power mode option. You can set the global setting to performance mode and it'll be on the highest mode all the time.

"Manage 3D settings" > Global Settings > Power management mode > Prefer maximum performance

Then turn your wallpaper engine back on and see how little it uses

[normal hawk]

just won a ASUS STRIX 3060TI OC V2 from the shuffle and orderd the rest of the parts last night lol I super excite

[normal hawk]

Congrats

[light mountain]

thank you! maybe you can help me out with a not so big deal just someting that is stuck with my head. Im doing a mostly ASUS build because I won the card and a TUF VG279 monitor, im torn between the TUF or the STRIX board any advice

[normal hawk]

I'm not really familiar with Asus boards.

[fervent star]

i hear the strix is better for overclocking and usually has a higher supported ram speed

but im not a big techie guy so id wait for someone elses input too

[hardy cedar]

Could i use a 3070 with a 550w psu?

[livid idol]

TUF is mostly solidly in the middle range. Not fantastic but not terrible, and plenty good enough for most people.
Strix is more hit or miss. They target the high end, but don't always reach it.

[livid idol]

Which 550W?

And which cpu?

[hardy cedar]

I have a corsair cv550w 80plus bronze and a core i7 3770

[hardy cedar]

That is

[livid idol]

That's a tier D power supply, and a high power cpu. You're not going to be able to run a 3070 on that without reducing the power limit to around 60%, if not lower.

Besides that, the gpu won't be able to run at full potential because of the weak cpu.

[hardy cedar]

And if i put a 3060 ti?

Should be fine?

[livid idol]

Not with that power supply

Tier D is defined as "don't run any gpu on it"

[magic wing]

Me totally not overclocking my gpu on a d tier psu

at least I used to

[hardy cedar]

I upgrade from an 2060 and never had problems

[obtuse sierra]

I have a Msi Ventus 3x 3070ti, the boost clock I see it getting up to is around the 1950mhz range. Everywhere I read I see that the boost clock should only get too around 1770. Does this mean I just happened to get a good board or is it the result of my 750watt psu giving it more leverage power wise to use?

I’m about to trade for a msi gaming x trio 3070ti and $100 but don’t wanna let this go if it’s above the speed I may get on the gaming x trio

[keen nacelle]

I mean there's always different bins, but imo if you're getting the 100$ I'd go for it. The cooling alone on that model is worth it over the ventus

[obtuse sierra]

I’m spending the $100

Gaming x trio was over the Ventus series

[keen nacelle]

I've never paid attention to boost clock numbers so I can't tell you if that's normal or not

Ah

[obtuse sierra]

Still not bad price wise though, I bought my card for $900 at microcenter and the gaming x trio I’m finding is over 1k

So I’m kinda just in between the decision rn, if somebody could clarify if my card is a high boost card or not that would definitely help my decision

[keen nacelle]

@hot folio

You know?

@magic wing

[hot folio]

Huh?

[keen nacelle]

What's the normal boost clock of a 3070 ti ventus?

This person thinks it's higher than it should be and I have no clue

[hot folio]

Which one? standard or OC version?

[keen nacelle]

Idk

But ventus gross

Ig it is a 3x

[hot folio]

Ventus is pretty much the worst of the worst, id trade for the gaming x trio

Gaming X trio is one of the higher end 3070tis iirc

[keen nacelle]

Google ranks gaming x trio as one of the best aibs, atleast for 3060 tis, multiple sites

I'd link a few but bad connection

[obtuse sierra]

But Ventus 3x with 1950mhz boost

Vs gaming x trio with unknown boost

3070ti

[magic wing]

do the trade

[hot folio]

boost clock isnt everything

The cooling alone of the gaming x trio makes it worth it

[obtuse sierra]

Alright thanks guys

[magic wing]

I would aim for an asus card tho

[hot folio]

Performance difference will be around 1-2%

EVGA blessed me with a lovely email

From a RTX2060 6GB > 3060 8GB

[rustic pulsar]

ooooo ur gonna like that

[cosmic bluff]

2060 is just 1660 with raytracing imo

[heady turtle]

3060 ti, extremely better than even 3060 btw

[shut herald]

The 3060 TI is better then the 3060 12GB from what I’ve seen? Right?

[heady turtle]

Yes

[shut herald]

[heady turtle]

3060 having 12gb vram is dumb

[minor laurel]

is 1660s a good gpu?

[normal hawk]

For 1080p

Yeah

[rustic pulsar]

for what, what games? what resolution? what is your target FPS

[keen nacelle]

Yeah I don't understand why give 3070 8gb and that's fine, but a card that's 45% worse 12gb, if 3070 isn't gonna use more than 8gb why would 3060 use more than 6

[normal hawk]

High quality 3d models + getting rid of older gddr6 probably.

[shut herald]

Pog

[magic wing]

More like making it look good on paper so it sells and makes nvidia more money

[normal hawk]

That too

[magic wing]

Consumers can be dumdum and say more vram = better

Ive seen that a lot personally

Had a guy argue with me irl when i said the 3060 is worse than a 2070s because vram

[normal hawk]

They trade blows in gaming performance so it's a weird situation

3060, 2060 Super and 2070 all have games where they perform better in than the others

[magic wing]

2070 super not 2070 i made typo

[normal hawk]

Although according to GPU check the 3060 outperforms the 2070 at 1080p, 1440p, and 4k in most games. Not sure how reliable GPUcheck is

Yeah, the 2070 super is better than the 3060

The biggest reason the 3060 is so bad is because of the 192-bit bus instead of 256 right?

[magic wing]

Yeah

[twin dove]

Is 4GB of vram going to be a limitation in 1080p gaming?

Say, on call of duty warzone

[magic wing]

Eh not really unless you wanna play on highest settings 1080p

[twin dove]

Great, I was a little concerned as other cards with lower benchmarks were given 6-8GB of vram while the gtx 980 I’m looking at only has 4GB

[compact panther]

well.

far cry hd textures needs more than 10GB

wont run on 3080

[green harness]

Seems to run here: https://youtu.be/Cy5yz6BRJc8?t=484

[compact panther]

hd textures

https://www.pcgamesn.com/far-cry-6/hd-textures-nvidia-rtx-3080

[green harness]

If you look at the linked portion of the video it says 4k ultra HD textures = 71 fps

Personally I'd focus on the actual performance in game. I haven't looked at a bunch of other benchmarks to confirm, but I'd focus on FPS over just claims

[livid idol]

So would this mean the 3060 has potential to outperform the 3060 ti in this very specific situation? Hmmm

Not bad at all

A little over average

Sounds like an average user to me

Still cringe

Are those... daisy chained 6 pins into a 8 pin adapter?

Much better, GJ

[hot folio]

I’ll finally be able to use all my 16gb

[compact panther]

and if this is how some AAA games are in 2021

[hot folio]

Not me because I pretty much have a free gpu upgrade using microcenter’s warranty

[compact panther]

[livid idol]

This is probably just really badly optimized textures. I feel like they said "just give everything unique textures, damn the vram usage!"

[compact panther]

yes

I pretty much can trade it in for store credit = to the amount I paid for it

[scenic grove]

I have lenovo ideacentre ideacentre C5 14IMB05. It has i7 10700f Nvidia GeForce rtx 2060 6gb and a 380 w psu. I know it would end any kind of warranty I have with them but what brand or style of 700 watt psu could I replace the 380 watt psu with and once that is installed what brand or model if any of a rtx 2080 ,3060,3080 would fit in it and would it be worth it. I'm still paying on this pc so buying a whole new prebuilt or diy pc would be out of range for me as of now. Thank you for your help and any info. I apologize if this is a silly statement I'm new to gaming pc, but at this time I feel like spending up to a $1000.00 , to replace components(if possible) of this prebuilt would be better than spending $2000.00 or more to buy a new prebuilt or diy pc . Thank you for any info

[red pollen]

Be grateful you got it not everyone can afford/find it in stock

[heady turtle]

Is it a standard or a proprietary power supply?

[hot folio]

Probably standard, as far as I know, Lenovo doesn’t use proprietary psus

At least their legions don’t

[heady turtle]

Thing is their office pcs are proprietary i think so idk lol

hello there!

I do have a rather strange question

can i replace my heatsink plastic shroud and backplate of my 1070 with one from a rtx 2070?

they are both from the same manufacturer (GIGABYTE)

[heady turtle]

Why bother

Probably not easily

[steel rune]

well i guess it looks way cooler and temps should be way better.

ive accidentaly bent slightly my 1070 when i was removeing some ram sticks and it looks kinda bad now

but it works just fine

and i think a backplate should make that bent less visible

[shrewd smelt]

I mean go for it and see if it fits, if not, just get a new backplate off amazon.

[steel rune]

i mean the pcb is bent

currently my gpu has no backplate

[shrewd smelt]

oh

well

[steel rune]

it never did actually

[shrewd smelt]

Good morning. Does anyone know which Graphic-card is the best to add on to my system if I already have a EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 KO Ultra Dual-Fan 4GB GDDR6 PCle 3.0?

[rustic pulsar]

whats your budget, are you willing to buy used, what resolution are you playing at, and what cpu do you have?

[crimson kelp]

Good afternoon, the answer to your questions are as follows, 1. my budget is $300.00 or below. 2. Yes, I will buy used but I prefer new. 3. My resolution is 1280 x 1024. 4. My CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor

[hot folio]

Under 300 there really isn’t many good options in the current market

[magic wing]

thats a hella wierd resolution

[toxic sinew]

Most likely an old Dell monitor or something

I have some old small Dell monitors with that resolution

[crimson kelp]

Okay, so from what I am gathering, it will take well over $300 to get me a decent upgrade?

[normal hawk]

Yes

[jaunty mango]

Hm

[rustic pulsar]

You could probably get a used 1070 off ebay for about 400 if u can afford it

[twin dove]

The GTX 980 can also be found on ebay for 250$ but doesn't offer a huge improvement over your current graphics card

eh, I guess according to userbenchmark the gtx 980 has 40% greater effective speed than the 1650 which I believe is your card

[compact panther]

nice userbenchmark

[hot folio]

Eww ubm

[normal hawk]

Some people just cant be helped

Dude was like, which should I get a 6600xt or 3060. And he keeps going back to 1440p benchmarks even though he said he has no plan to go 1440p. And won't listen to how the 192bit bus will hold the 12gb Vram back.

Doesn't stream, 1080p ultra, etc.

Like the only reasons to go with a 3060 imo over it would be NVENC and and features like RTX broadcast. Not even regular Raytracing. But i definitely wouldn't pay 600$ for sub 2070 super performance lol.

Collecting the infinity GPU's i see

[heady turtle]

Rommy why did you even 6900xt

You know what i mean

I dunno lol

There that's better

Usually my Zip isn't there

Buy that instead of a 3090 ;p

valorant believes its "network error" but i dont see that being a possbility bc i cant even tab out of the game

just for some context, its a 1060

and the temp when mining is usually around 40-45 degree

[rustic pulsar]

How much will an i7-10700F bottleneck a 3090

[keen nacelle]

depends what resolution

[livid idol]

Probably not at all unless you're doing 720p

Also depends what game

[rustic pulsar]

1440 or 4k

[compact panther]

citation needed

1440p maybe

depends on game

on stuff like cyberpunk it will a bit

not much tho

[rustic pulsar]

what about like 10/11900k

[keen nacelle]

10850k

[livid idol]

CP is an anomaly, but I can see esports titles being an "issue"

And by issue I mean only 400 fps instead of 440

[compact panther]

unfortunately these anomalies are becoming more and more common, theres warzone etc.

[rustic pulsar]

?

[compact panther]

in 1440p in the majority of games you wont have a significant difference

and you can always just tune ram etc.

10700 with tuned ram beats out 10900k with xmp

[livid idol]

10900k is 'spensive and 10850k is just as good, but doesn't overclock as high

[rustic pulsar]

ohh I see thx

[compact panther]

10850k good for running stock only

overclocking it is worse than stock

[rustic pulsar]

my mobo cant overclock

[compact panther]

then 10850k should be solid

[livid idol]

Then I'd advise looking at non-K chips to save a lot of money

[rustic pulsar]

rich parents how much of a differnce is like 10900 vs 10900k and 11900 vs 11900k

[livid idol]

100MHz

And no overclocking without a K

[rustic pulsar]

so not much, cool, graci!

[compact panther]

11900k is worse

[normal hawk]

I swear they must have made a deal with Dell because like 40% of the PC's in the office are Alienware. When before it was mostly cyberpowerpc or ones built by the "tech lab."

[stiff zodiac]

Intel wants to charge us 650+ for perf gpu and 800+ for the top tier one. Sad i thought its affordable.

Also they got balls to price their gpu on that price.. i hope it's really worth it

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-arc-giveaway-reveals-approximate-graphics-card-pricing

To calculate the price they did is .. to minus the gamepass and freebies stuff. Then the remaining is for the card price it self on that giveaway

Because they also state the value of giveaway

[vital oriole]

giving away arc to boost marketing

[spare relic]

only good if they give it away to specifically me

[livid idol]

Gib to me
I won't burn it down by constantly benching and stressing it or anything.
I wonder how good it is at mining...

[cold barn]

Halo and AMD have am Infinite-themed RX 6900XT giveaway going on rn. I think it's only on Razer's site, they're also selling Halo-themed perifs

The GPU won't ever be for actual sale though, only available via the giveaway or buying from scalpers after they get ahold of some

[crisp ocean]

Idk we have to see

Especially since this image is a blower card I imagine it might get quite a bit toasty

[livid idol]

The engineers are really optimistic about that hardware performance, but it's the drivers and developer support they're worried about.

[lone pond]

Intel Gpu 🤣

[livid idol]

They've made some really bold claims, like 3080 performance for less power

[lone pond]

Watch it be a flop

A total flop at that

🤓

[livid idol]

It can't be a flop in this market, people will buy it no matter what it can do or how it's priced.

Take the 6600 and 3060 as an example, 2 cards that you would never recommend in a normal market, and they're just as hard to find.

[normal hawk]

Rommy, were you getting a PS5 or am I mixing people up?

[tight rock]

hey, here’s the list with prices of which 3080 is in stocks, all free shipping for some reason.

asus strix - 6942
gaming z trio - 5654
aorus master - 5836

All in Qatari riyals, which one should I get?

For 5800x and playing roblox and minecraft.

[magic wing]

Dont get a 3080 for roblox and minecraft

If you want to waste money on a 3080 tho get the gaming z trio

[tight rock]

hm, I really love the aorus one but it’s a bit too big, I think that would be a problem

[heady turtle]

No point spending extra money on aorus one when gaming x trio has a better cooler

And they're already stupid waste of money for roblox and Minecraft

[vital oriole]

tfw me drooling over 3060 laptop

[solemn panther]

[lofty crane]

knowing a mobo can handle 2 graphics, would a 1650 and a 1050 be a good combo?

if not let me know what is a good combo

[keen nacelle]

Wdym by a combo

If you mean work together to play games

You can only do that with the 3090 now I'm fairly sure, and with nvlink (other than non gaming cards)

[lofty crane]

oh ok

[keen nacelle]

Also

It doesnt really help gaming performance

[lofty crane]

would it help for two screens?

fps wise

[keen nacelle]

I mean you could use it as a separate display driver but unless you're running two separate games I wouldn't waste the money

[heady turtle]

Only if you're playing separate games on both screens lol

[heady turtle]

Legit 0 point

[tight rock]

Alright, here's my updated list, thought's of it?

https://qa.pcpartpicker.com/list/KscFcT

[hot folio]

I wouldn’t use the H100

If you want an AIO go for an Arctic freezer II/Lian Li Galahad/EK-AIO

Case I’d recommend the Corsair 4000d airflow/ P500A/ Lancool II Mesh

[hot folio]

Lancool II Mesh is bae

[lavish otter]

I like the Mesh. A little annoyed that I can't open the glass panel portion without opening the bottom hinged bit first though

[small sphinx]

I bought a geforce 210 for $3 at goodwill 😂

[twin dove]

you think a 3060 would ever end up at goodwill?

because if so I need to stop by a little more often

[small sphinx]

I doubt it

also found a DILF hat

[fossil talon]

It is

Although O-11 Mini Air is my next case

IF THEY EVEN COME BY THIS YEAR

[lone pond]

This was in one of the abandoned PCs in my classroom

Don't worry there wasn't even liquid in the loop or anything, and the build was never finished

I didn't just ruin someone's build lol

[normal hawk]

What is it

[magic wing]

Dual gpu card

[lone pond]

Not sure, but it might be an HD 6990 or 7990?

I don't know too much about older amd cards, so I'd be unfamiliar with any older dual gpu amd cards if there are any

I'm gonna give it some fresh paste, and maybe ask if the professor who this stuff technically belongs to wouldn't mind giving me this card since he doesn't even care much about any of the other hardware here lol

Might be a selfish request though

[upbeat geyser]

Going to be selling my XFX 5600XT THICC II, whats a good, REASONABLE price for it? Old pic.

[gray bloom]

is 750w with 11700k and 3080 good enough? since im buying a bundle

[vital oriole]

which psu is it? and nah i wouldn't say it's enough anyway

[lone pond]

dang the dual gpu i found is dead

that really sucks.

[vital oriole]

f

[magic wing]

F

[gray bloom]

its corsair 750w gold rated

[magic wing]

Which corsair 750w gold rated

Also the gold rating doesnt mean its a safer and better psu btw

[gray bloom]

its corsair rmx series

is that good?

[livid idol]

You can get RM850x for $114 right now, it's a great model

[gray bloom]

its part of the bundle @livid idol

[magic wing]

A-GF is for 109$

850W

[gray bloom]

well my 750w is part of the newegg bundle

or do i have to buy a new one?

[livid idol]

Ah, unfortunate. 750W is not going to be enough, both the cpu and gpu together will probably trip protections on a 850W at some point

[gray bloom]

well i wont be playing hardcore just a casual game play for maybe like 2-3hours per day

[livid idol]

The cpu will pull 250W peak easy, and the gpu will spike around 450-500W

[magic wing]

Get an MSI MPG A-GF 850W imo

109$

Very nice deal

[gray bloom]

got it ill buy it when it gets here bought it like couple hours ago

[livid idol]

You can sell the 750 and buy the 850, minimal cost difference that way.

[magic wing]

^

As long as you dont unbox it itll sell for close to msrp

[vital oriole]

ye

Sounds like a plan

[gray bloom]

hopefully people will buy a psu not sure who buys them this time around

thanks for the advise

[lone pond]

OH NEVERMIND THE 4870X2 WORKS

absolutely awesome

It just wasn't working with my x99 board

Now I can finally walk back to my dorm at... 3:12am

[tight rock]

Thoughts?

https://qa.pcpartpicker.com/list/KscFcT

[heady turtle]

I'd recommend a better aio like arctic liquid freezer, ek rgb or lian li Galahad

Rest looks good

[novel kestrel]

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapphire-radeon-rx-6800-xt-nitro-oc-se-16gb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-39a-sp.html

It's backkk but do I 😂

[tight rock]

yes.

[novel kestrel]

Im thinking the same 😂

[hot folio]

Didn’t I literally tell you what to change yesterday?

[heady turtle]

I'd get this instead

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapphire-radeon-rx-6800-xt-pulse-16gb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-39c-sp.html

[tight rock]

Oh really?

[novel kestrel]

How come?

[heady turtle]

100 quid cheaper just as good card

[noble lance]

3080 TI MSI build in stock at my local micro enter for 1799

Last week it was a 3090 for 2200, are things calming down or are MSRP just getting so high no one is buying the higher end stuff?

[livid idol]

3090 just costs that much more

[brittle shoal]

is it just me or is everyone sleeping on the gtx 780ti

it performs basically as well as a 1060

and its only about 150-250 on ebay

[keen nacelle]

Just get a 970 then

[brittle shoal]

970 better with overclocking, but w/o the 780 is still a bit better

[keen nacelle]

970 is better than 780 ti https://technical.city/en/video/GeForce-GTX-970-vs-GeForce-GTX-780-Ti

Look at the gaming performance part

Also 100w less usage

[brittle shoal]

cough cough

they are both good

[keen nacelle]

Yes and 970 is slightly better and goes for the same, if not less on ebay

[brittle shoal]

from what ive seen they go for about the same on ebay

[keen nacelle]

Thats... what I just said

Why buy a 780 ti when you can get a card that is a bit better and uses less watts for the same prive

[brittle shoal]

sorry im in school and im kind of out of it

[hot folio]

No point in buying a 780ti especially since it’s EOL

[brittle shoal]

im relatively new to computers, so ur telling me that ut just wouldnt work, or that it does work but there are no new driver updates for it

[livid idol]

700 series isn't windows 11 compatible
