[quartz gull]

Yeah it looks legit

[low niche]

thats real

[terse verge]

ok

[quartz gull]

those angles are stupid hard to fake

[low niche]

fans are even dusty

[terse verge]

I can cop it for 456

Should I?

[quartz gull]

then do it

it's not a bad price for a 1080

[terse verge]

alr I'll do it

[low niche]

where do you find this?

[quartz gull]

local sales

don't ever buy online you'll get scalped to death

[terse verge]

I won't give my site away sorry.

Until after I get a gpu

[quartz gull]

facebook marketplace is great too

[terse verge]

Yeah that one is good

Ebay is mid because you have to bid most of the time and a lot of scammers / fakes

[quartz gull]

I picked up a $20 750ti this morning

[terse verge]

bruh

[ivory herald]

Quite please w/ the Strix. Load temps at sub-30% fans are supreme. Some 2 or 3 fan models dont have the FE quality, I will say that.

[quartz gull]

just to slap in a 11700f build that people keep selling and sell it for $700 as a working computer

Everyone keeps selling 11700f builds with no gpus

I may throw in my back up card (950 2gb) into one of those too

[terse verge]

Guys I'm finally gonna get a good gpu

[ivory herald]

Ebay has been great to be for getting old mem cheap. That's why I run 4x8GB of ddr3

[quartz gull]

current gen memory too

ddr4 2400 cl19 (ik it bad) sells for $15 a stick for 4gb

so when I make office rigs

I just buy 2 of those

[ivory herald]

$100ish for 32GB ddr4 is pretty sweet though. That's a common price currently

[quartz gull]

if you're not using it for gaming you don't really need high speed ddr4

I just got ddr4 4400 cl19 for $100 (4x8gb)

that price isn't that impressive

I got it off of ebay too

[ivory herald]

new? what kit is that w/ those speeds? I keep eyeing 3600 c18/c16 for general use.

[terse verge]

nearly just died, I thought I found a 2070 super FE for $200

I woulda been deceased

[quartz gull]

used and it's this

this is my purchase

it's running at ddr4 4000 cl16

my memory controller can't handle 4x4400

[ivory herald]

That's good stuff. I'm gonna start watching ebay for ram again.

[quartz gull]

So I was looking for a 2x8gb kit

and going to go down to 16

but those were $80

then I saw that and went

DDR4 4400 for $25 a stick?! wtf?!

and bought it

[ivory herald]

Take that grandpa, no more $100/GB or 1/2gig, lmao

[quartz gull]

yeah

I was really happy with that

I was running 3000 cl16 before this...

[ivory herald]

ddr prices where INSANE 10+ years ago for big kits

[quartz gull]

it was actually bottlenecking my 12600k

like in battlefield 2042 I was only getting 81% gpu usage (100 now)

because the cpu could not feed itself off of it

[ivory herald]

it did help average fps a fair bit?

I've seen stuff saying 3600 C16 is the best value, but not VS your score haha

[low niche]

a 3080 ti is 4k right now

[ivory herald]

https://tenor.com/view/sacrifice-gif-8266617

[low niche]

imagine getting a 3090 and dropping the card as soon as you took it out of the package

[ivory herald]

rather slam my finger in the car door

[low niche]

honeslty might have to play games on the UHD 770 graphics

[dusty hare]

I would Rather fall off a roof

[ivory herald]

I will be if I sell my gpu and double check current upgrade prices.

[quartz gull]

chillen

have you been nonstop entering the shuffle like me too?

trying to get an upgrade lol

[terse verge]

just got it

copped the 1080 for 456

[quartz gull]

bro there's so many $100 gtx 970's over here

[terse verge]

I'm so happy right now

[quartz gull]

too bad they need an 8 pin

[terse verge]

HyperNovaTTV I use mercari

[low niche]

rn i have a laptop with a i7 4 cores and a 1050 2gb the i7 runs at 100 degree celeius

[terse verge]

You won't find any good listings right off the bat but if you know how to look and you look daily for like 10-15 minutes you'll find something just fine

If you want a gpu

[low niche]

thx i will be looking

[quartz gull]

facebook marketplace is what I use

honestly hyper how long can you wait for prices to go down?

if you can wait 1-2 years on a weaker gpu

you'll be able to scoop up really cheap gpus

[terse verge]

sorta what I'm doing,

I got a pretty medium gpu to wait it out

[quartz gull]

the world's semi conductor manufacturing is legit getting a 60% increase by summer 2023

[terse verge]

Way better than what I have

[terse verge]

dang

[low niche]

idk i can proably wait

[quartz gull]

intel tmsc and samsung all have fabs currently being built

[terse verge]

what abt silicon

isn't there like a shortage?

[quartz gull]

not a shortage on the silicon

[terse verge]

oh

[quartz gull]

on the wafer manufacturing

it's limited by the fabs rn

[terse verge]

ohh

[quartz gull]

the element isn't in a shortage

just the stupid wafers

which you need fabs to build

[terse verge]

Knowing the gpu retailers they're not gonna go perfectly to normal price

[ivory herald]

hmm, pretty sure my evga had dual 6 pins, or just a single 6 pin perhaps. and no , been missing most of the shuffles. I don't really want to spend much extra out of pocket for a better gpu, but i might apparently.

[quartz gull]

sell your 1080 for lik $450-500 (i'm selling my 2060 for that much) when you get a new one

[ivory herald]

Well, would also be less of a shortage w/o all the miners like that guy w/ 120 3080's

[quartz gull]

yeah

[terse verge]

Should I vertically mount my 1080 or horizontal? I already have my rx 570 on a vertical mount

[quartz gull]

you got an fe right?

[terse verge]

sure looks like it

[ivory herald]

doesnt matter. I actually like to do vert mount, but current case has a nice opening on the side.

[quartz gull]

doesn't matter, the air blows out the back of the case instead of back into it

blower styles like that

take the air and blow it directly out the back

they're great for low airflow cases too

[ivory herald]

although, FE models really need fresh air so I wouldnt put it close to a solid side cover. That's my opinion anyways.

[terse verge]

I got the phanteks p300 or something

[quartz gull]

well since 100% of the sucked in air gets pushed down the tunnel

[ivory herald]

A good cheap case that is.

[terse verge]

I lied

I have the Eclipse p360x

[quartz gull]

as long as the air is cool it's fine

oh no...

[terse verge]

mhm

[quartz gull]

I've used that case before

[dreamy dragon]

Vanqvish#2705 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[terse verge]

bad

[quartz gull]

there's like no room for cable management either

[terse verge]

bad bad bad bad

[quartz gull]

I got it for $5 used

[terse verge]

[quartz gull]

only one of these is true

it's a compact case LOL

[ivory herald]

Good idea. You're thinking sell current only after getting the new one? Hmm, gpu-less would suck during winter indeed. No consoles around to play otherwise.

[quartz gull]

that's it

[quartz gull]

I have a series s and a switch rn but I like my pc. And also your integrated graphics barely display graphics

[terse verge]

Tulip do you think I should wait to sell my rx570, hoping the gpu shortage increases and I sell it at the "peak"?

[quartz gull]

I have a spare 950 2gb that I would throw in if I were to sell first

[terse verge]

so then I can get maximum returns?

[quartz gull]

Don't wait much longer

don't

[terse verge]

Ok

[ivory herald]

Yep. Sold my Xbone S a while back for $240ish, regret now because I don't need that money anymore.

[terse verge]

Yeah that would be sad if it just plummeted

[quartz gull]

25% more gpus were sold in q3 this year than q2

that's 25% more gpus in 3 months

[terse verge]

jeez

[quartz gull]

they're producing a lot of gpus

[terse verge]

Yeah I'll sell it as soon as possible

[quartz gull]

once the demand has been saturated (probably a year from now) the prices are going to fall really fast

[ivory herald]

your 950... hmm, my spare is a GTX 660 🤘

[quartz gull]

do you remember the 2019 dram crash?

ram was getting higher and higher and within 2 months

they fell 60% in price

[terse verge]

I built my first pc during the christmas of 2020.

I'm on it rn

[ivory herald]

not really, 2019 was when I was working a lot and home wasn't stable, so no gaming much.

[quartz gull]

gpus were about 40% inflated (not the 150% now) and dram was 150% inflated

[terse verge]

I was playing fortnite on an xbox one that is older than dirt

[quartz gull]

it was a mining phase

[quartz gull]

I loved my xbox one vcr edition

cause it was the size of a VCR

[terse verge]

LOl

yeah

[quartz gull]

I sold it when I bought my series s

[terse verge]

I still have it

I also got an xbox one x

My family just gives me our old xbox's

because I'm the only one with a gaming pc

[quartz gull]

What I have set up rn

[terse verge]

ooo gamecube

what you play?

[quartz gull]

I also have a nes, Genesis, SNES, PS1, PS2 and all handhelds from Sony and nintendo

I have a lot of GameCube games

[terse verge]

all the ds?

and 3ds?

[quartz gull]

Yep

Yep

[terse verge]

the 3ds xl? the 3ds pikachu edition?

[quartz gull]

I meant all the variants

[terse verge]

oh

[quartz gull]

I have a 2ds xl pickachu edition

[terse verge]

I have 2 3ds (old small version) and a ds.

[ivory herald]

A person of culture. SNES had some fun stuff. I had a ps2 w/ 20+ games, NFS Hot Pursuit 2 is god tier fun

[quartz gull]

I like having all the system variants

[terse verge]

Oldest console I own is like the nintendo wii

[quartz gull]

Idk if you can tell but I have an everdrive Omega definitive edition in my gameboy player rn

Can play gb/gbc/gba and then GameCube games with that setup

I also use my gray gba as a controller

[terse verge]

https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m37010631642/?ref=search_results

Is that good price?

[terse verge]

I don't want it I just want someone else on this discord to get it if its good

[quartz gull]

Pretty decent

[low niche]

does the 1080 come with the fans?

[terse verge]

yep

[low niche]

or is it just the water block

[terse verge]

I can link you a $530 one

and I can help you find a cheaper one

if you look often you'll end up finding really cheap ones

its all about looking at the right time

[quartz gull]

If you want a slower stop gap gpu, 4gb 970's are about $100 locally here. Better than a 1050ti

[low niche]

i found a 1050ti for 270

[quartz gull]

Go for a 970

Easily $100-150

[low niche]

and a 1050 for 250

[quartz gull]

That's cause they're 75 watt cards

[terse verge]

Keep loking around,

*looking

[quartz gull]

75 watt cards are going for way too much rn

[terse verge]

don't go for the first one that you can afford trust me.

I saw a 2060 go for 300 on mercari

you just gotta look often

[quartz gull]

THATS A STEAL

[terse verge]

ik

It was sold an hour before I saw it tho

[low niche]

1070 for 450

[terse verge]

not bad

[vital oriole]

that's

ew ngl

[terse verge]

I just got a 1080 for 456 after 30 minutes of looking

trust me we can find better

[quartz gull]

What're the prices on Facebook marketplace?

[terse verge]

mid

[quartz gull]

Look there and set it to local pickup only

[terse verge]

all depends where you live tbh

[quartz gull]

Marketplace over here is so cheap

[ivory herald]

The 970 was decent on power, although needing the extra power cable yes

[quartz gull]

He'll have a full rig so pcie power isn't an issue

Why I'm telling him to stop looking at 75 watt cards

[low niche]

just found a b550 asus rog strix for 125

[ivory herald]

For reference, mine (in June) was $441+tax. Want to know how much tax added?

[quartz gull]

Where do you live?

Are we talking about import taxes

[terse verge]

how much

[ivory herald]

https://tenor.com/view/dumbanddumber-dumb-california-gif-13386701

[quartz gull]

Oh no

[terse verge]

uh oh

please

[quartz gull]

I'm sorry for your loss chillen

[terse verge]

spare us

[ivory herald]

lmao, totaled $491.

[terse verge]

oh

thats not bad

[quartz gull]

$50?!

[ivory herald]

mhm!

[quartz gull]

WTF is that tax rate? 10.5%??

[ivory herald]

oh wait, shipping was $15 I think

[low niche]

2060 for 600?

[quartz gull]

I have an 8% tax rate here and I live near big city

[quartz gull]

2060 only worth $450

[ivory herald]

Ca tax is supposed to be 8.25

[low niche]

im in ca dollars

[quartz gull]

Give me freedom bucks amount

[terse verge]

is the 1660 better than the 1080?

[quartz gull]

No

[ivory herald]

nope

[terse verge]

1650?

nope

[ivory herald]

LuL

[quartz gull]

1660 is 10% better than a 1060...

[terse verge]

oh

dang

[quartz gull]

Yeah

[terse verge]

So I really hit the jackpot here

for 1080p gaming

144hz

[quartz gull]

We have different ideas then

[terse verge]

the gtx 1080 does 1440p right?

[quartz gull]

My 2060 is a 1080p 60hz card imo

[terse verge]

hm,

[quartz gull]

Games on ultra are running at 60fps

[terse verge]

Depends on what games you're playing

and on what settings

[quartz gull]

But I'm an eye candy seeker

[wooden helm]

Try 10% used to be 11% for a little while

[vital oriole]

Lookin at some used radeon cards would be nice too

[terse verge]

I just found

a $600 3060

[quartz gull]

900 series has best used value rn. $100 for 970's

[terse verge]

oh nvm its in virginia

[vital oriole]

Well r9 290 could go cheap too

[quartz gull]

That's fair

[vital oriole]

oh that's nice

[quartz gull]

local prices within 40 miles of denver are great

$100 970's

like 8 of them rn

@ivory herald does this make you angy too?

[vital oriole]

10k

no

god no

scalped

[quartz gull]

It is very scalped, that's the point

[vital oriole]

just keep mining and don't sell it

[terse verge]

how much money that make tho

[vital oriole]

lots

[ivory herald]

Sort of, waste of 8 good cards. hmm, $1100/ea then $1200 for the other stuff

[quartz gull]

#graphics-cards message

look at this one

this one is for sale here too

[vital oriole]

750 bucks a day

[ivory herald]

Why not buy some dang solar panels for a house instead.

[vital oriole]

350k

oof

yeah buy solar panels lmao

[quartz gull]

he's actually not exaggerating that much, it would be 466 days to pay it off

[vital oriole]

run it off solar

[terse verge]

you'll have enough money to with that thing.

[vital oriole]

no electric bills

[quartz gull]

should I take out a morgage for it and pay it off in a year and a half?

[vital oriole]

uh

I doubt it's worth it

[terse verge]

uh

yeah

[quartz gull]

big brain time

[ivory herald]

Thing is, solar panels are the opposite of using power, lol. Although, $500+/day for not actually working would be awesome. Time to break even is one thing, I'd solar personally if I had the $5K+ to get a decent setup.

[terse verge]

I do not believe it

I just found a 3070 oc for 525

I refuse

I refuse to believe it.

[quartz gull]

lol

[ivory herald]

show us

[quartz gull]

someone is silling a thunderbolt gpu enclosure with a 1080 in it for $700

considering how much the enclosures are that's not that bad honestly

[terse verge]

bro

I kinda hope this is fake cause I just bought a 1080

[quartz gull]

I'm taking a trip to maryland brb

[terse verge]

I could link you it

[vital oriole]

inb4 ded card

wait non lhr?

that's even more sus

[terse verge]

thats what I'm saying

[quartz gull]

it's been on there for 22 weeks?

[terse verge]

what is a turbo

[quartz gull]

that's a little bit suspicious

[terse verge]

turbo 2080

[quartz gull]

turbo is just the line of gpu

[terse verge]

ohg

[quartz gull]

asus turbo line

[terse verge]

I'm an idiot

[vital oriole]

seller must've forgot to unlist it

[quartz gull]

that's the only reason I can think of it not selling for $650

[terse verge]

the $500 3070 is fake right guys?

right?

[quartz gull]

or maybe it's real

[terse verge]

no

no

please

[quartz gull]

like I thought the $25 per 8gb stick of ddr4 4400 was fake

until it arrived and worked

sometimes the deals are just that stupid good

where it's 1/2 the price it should be

[terse verge]

please tell me its fake

I just purchased a 1080 bro

oh

its been listed for 7 weeks

ok no worries there

[quartz gull]

...

Someone sold a 3060ti non lhr for $1300

locally

[ivory herald]

Turbo is the blower model

[terse verge]

who would buy that

[quartz gull]

excuse me tf

[terse verge]

literally just buy a $900 one from newegg instead of 1300

there is no reason to spend more than 900 on a 3060ti ever.

[quartz gull]

guys I might do it

someone stop me

[terse verge]

do it

you won't

[ivory herald]

I wouldn't touch a 60 series card

[quartz gull]

that's where you're wrong

[terse verge]

no balls

[quartz gull]

until this generation I told myself I'd never touch a 70+ series because their value proposition is bad

I always sell my current gpu and buy a new one for a $100 difference every 2 years

[terse verge]

[quartz gull]

correct

wow best buy has gt1030's in stock for msrp

[terse verge]

you tryna get a water cooled k360

[ivory herald]

THat's the way. 4digits for a gpu is just nuts to me. At the time, nearly $500 was stretching what I wanted to pay. Of course, now I know I'm going from 1080P to 1440 eventually. 970 was well priced, but only because I bought one years after it was out

[terse verge]

is 1080 to 1440 worth it?

[quartz gull]

I honestly was ready to jump on a 3070

[ivory herald]

For gaming, debatable. It's everything else though.

[quartz gull]

it has better rt performance than a 2080ti

I told a friend no to their $450 2080ti

when the panic selling started

and waited for the 3070 to launch...

if the founders edition was in stock I wouldn't have regretted it at all. At the time it seemed reasonable

if I would have known that the 3070 would just be a myth and didn't actually exist I would've bought it...

[ivory herald]

I'd like to really stay 1 or 2 gen behind the latest. would sure be fine w/ a 2080/S/Ti currently.

[quartz gull]

Good luck with that...

[terse verge]

is a 1440p monitor worth it to make your game look good?

27" 1440p

[ivory herald]

Not really it seems, similar pixel density as 24" 1080P.

[terse verge]

4k is the only real upgrade?

[quartz gull]

lets play the "guess the specs game"

[terse verge]

1660 ryzen 5 1600 and a 450 watt psu

8gb of ram

2666mhz

[quartz gull]

it's actually somewhat decent

I'd pay $1300-1400 with current gpu prices for it

[terse verge]

what the specs

oh for the pc I made?

[ivory herald]

well 1440P still looks a tad better, and even more so if it was a 24" screen. Actually I'm just going to a 27" because it's an extra way to feel the upgrade from 24"/1080P.

[terse verge]

oo

[quartz gull]

9900k with a 3060 lol

it's not bad

but $2700?

[terse verge]

for cheaper

its good

[vital oriole]

2700

that's ridiculous

[quartz gull]

yeah isn't it?

I'd pay $1300 with the current gpu prices

[vital oriole]

aresgame psu

[terse verge]

yeah

[vital oriole]

lmao

dude cheaped out on psu

[quartz gull]

yeah I did too

[terse verge]

oh nah

[quartz gull]

tbf I got my gpu for free (paid shipping)

[vital oriole]

and cables from asiahorse

eef

[terse verge]

oh nah

[ivory herald]

Anyone else remember checking Alienware's website or somewhere else and maxing out the specs to make a $4-5K build? haha

[terse verge]

I have fans from asiahorse but cables bro

[terse verge]

I used to do that on all pc building websites

[quartz gull]

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Warranty-Tester-100-B1-0600-KR/dp/B00EON40CS @vital oriole I got this for free from someone that was parting out a build and couldn't sell it, just paid $10 to ship it.

[vital oriole]

I don't trust asiahorse cables

Oh b1 ain't too bad for free

[quartz gull]

I cheaped out too but I really cheaped out

$10 isn't really "free" but yeah

[terse verge]

I got a 80+ 500 watt psu

[quartz gull]

it was on hardware swap for 2 weeks before I bought it

[terse verge]

non-modular

[quartz gull]

non modular for me as well

it has the ugly cable colors

[terse verge]

yep

the condiments

mustard and ketchup cables

[quartz gull]

He had removed the mesh sleeving over them (I would have done it too)

you can still see the cable colors through it anyways

so there's no point

[terse verge]

yeah same with mine

[quartz gull]

look how ugly that mesh is

I would have removed it too

[terse verge]

[quartz gull]

it's just removed on a few cables like the sata cables though

just because they're so bulky

hard to cable manage with the sleeving on

[terse verge]

yeah

ignore my stupidity

but

https://www.amazon.com/Pixio-Display-FreeSync-Esports-Monitor/dp/B08FXZVJH6/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=monitor%2B1440p%2B165hz&qid=1638770265&s=electronics&sr=1-1-spons&smid=A1ZAP482IIETZ&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUDFaV0VNSEo1NU41JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDIyNzY0M0UyMEtWOTJMSTdPUiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDcyMTM1M1FGWFgzR0tTTEFBUyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1

can this be switched from 1080p-1440p whenever I want?

I assume it can be bc thats how most monitors are

but I can't find anything in the desc

[vital oriole]

yes but

blurrier than native

[terse verge]

oh

so I should just stick with my 1080p 144hz

[vital oriole]

yeah

[terse verge]

You can also overclock monitors right?

[vital oriole]

wait that price?

you can get m27q

for similarly i think

[terse verge]

same price actually

sheesh thats really good

[vital oriole]

well you can oc em but it's heavily dependent on luck

[terse verge]

oh its like the pool thing

like how your cpu can be on the low side in terms of overclockability or on the high side

[ivory herald]

Games work better full screen, but you could run certain games windowed. Foxy you might know, does full-screen game res basically have to match display res? I figure so

[terse verge]

Everything will be blurry if it doesn't match

On warzone if my monitor is 1080p and I don't have my fullscreen res to 1080p it looks super blurry and pixelated

[ivory herald]

makes sense, and it would be funky to not full-screen a game also. To me, 1440p is mostly for the general use perk of more pixels, like for side by side web browsers or folders. Although, unless I give this current screen away, I'd run dual-display & that itself would be an extra upgrade. eh, not like they're identical anyways huh.

[wise stream]

can someone give me opinions/recommendations on these cards? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare?CompareItemList=9SIAYTVFU58532%2C14-131-782%2C14-150-855

[quartz gull]

ouch those price tags

it's about what they go for scalped

Screw the scalped 3060ti or trying to win the Newegg shuffle

I'mma just buy something else that would make me happy honestly. My 2060 will be in here until holiday 2023

Probably a Tab S7

[red pollen]

Should I buy a 1660 super over a 2060?

2060 beats the 1660 in performance

[keen nacelle]

depends on price comparison

[ashen nacelle]

What is a good price for a 2060

Or 2070

[cerulean rover]

500

[long forge]

Hey guys my sister in law lives in the US, I’m using VPN to try to get something on Newegg shuffle, how come those prices still seem so high?

[toxic sinew]

The prices are still high in comparison to what MSRP most likely should be but its still lower than what "market" price is on eBay for example

"Market" price and what they are worth are different of course, they may not be worth their current "market" price to some people

But thats what they are selling for anyway because of many factors

[restive rose]

When is 2060 12gb dropping?

[long forge]

What is MSRP for 3080/3080Ti/3090 nowadays then?

[heady turtle]

Depends, you talking about AIB msrp or real msrp(founders edition)

The real msrp hasn't changed from 700/1200/1500$ respectively

Aib msrp is all over the place

[long forge]

AIB mostly since the shuffles are offering that

[heady turtle]

Depends but for 3080 decent price is 1k or below, 3080 ti 1.5k or below, 3090 2.2k or below

[karmic crag]

2.2k 👁️👁️

I almost forgot how ridiculous this whole situation has been lol

[opal iron]

Which is better 2060 or 6600xt?

[livid idol]

6600XT hands down

It's roughly equal to a 2070 super

[nimble nymph]

if im only gaming, should I OC my EVGA GPU with Precision X1 or MSI Afterburner?

[livid idol]

Precision x1 has your rgb controls if you have any, otherwise afterburner is the default go to

[nimble nymph]

no RGB unfortunately, its an XC :(

ty

[nimble nymph]

does MSI's one click OC Scanner work well?

[heady turtle]

no one click oc works well, better off just doing a lazy "guaranteed" oc

and a quick stress test

If this is true those APUs may actually be capable of gaming with ddr5...

Like serious gaming

[heady turtle]

It's more the fact of them moving from Vega to rdna2 on the new 6000g cpus

[quartz gull]

I feel like that's going to be very memory bandwidth limited

[heady turtle]

I mean yes ddr5 is gonna be a factor but rdna2 is a massive leap over vega so

[quartz gull]

I get that but with it that fast it's probably going to be memory bound

[burnt parcel]

whats a good nvidia graphics card under $200 thats in stock

[heady turtle]

A used 960/970

[idle idol]

Ayo I just built a PC but I am not getting any post at all

CPU and Graphics Card are spinning

[idle idol]

Tried that didn’t work

Cables are a bit messy just my first build

[idle idol]

Can my front panel connectors affect my boot up?

[vital oriole]

no

[granite oyster]

I'm looking on Newegg for a graphics card is it smart to buy from a reseller or is that a scam

[normal hawk]

What resolution are you looking for? There are 6600xt bundles you could get if you're looking for 1080p

[granite oyster]

im looking for 3070 3070 ti or 3080 but im not sure if the sellers are legit

[normal hawk]

What are the prices?

[granite oyster]

they range from $1,200-1,500

[normal hawk]

I wouldn't buy them

Do you need DLSS or NVENC? Or is it brand preference as to why those are what you're looking at?

[granite oyster]

its just preference ive thought about going amd though if that's a better option

[normal hawk]

It can be depending on what you're willing to pay. There's a 6800xt and Mobo bundle for 1400$ and there's an open box 6900xt for just under 1500$$

https://www.newegg.com/powercolor-radeon-rx-6900-xt-axrx-6900xt-16gbd6-3dhe-oc/p/N82E16814131776R

1449$

[granite oyster]

i dont know exactly what the models are related to for like Nvidia gpus is a 6800xt kinda like a 3080 performance

[normal hawk]

Actually I'd just spend the 2$ and get a b550 instead of b450 in the other bundle https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4420782

[idle idol]

Aye does the ASRock B450M support 3200 mhz ram? Because I thinks thats the reason why my PC won’t boot.

Doesn’t support G.skill Aegis from what I am reading.

[granite oyster]

what's the 6800xt performance like

[granite oyster]

ah ok so its really good

[normal hawk]

Ye

If you're not streaming and dlss 2.0 or raytracing isn't too important the 6800xt and 6900xt are definitely cards to look at.

[granite oyster]

yea im in the middle of upgrading my pc and just got a 5900x and wanted a gpu that would be food with that

[normal hawk]

Understandable

[granite oyster]

you think the card will fit in a 220t or should i look at cases to

[normal hawk]

according to the dimensions online it'll fit

11.8 inches of clearance for the card, the card is 11.26 inches long

[granite oyster]

oh sweet it just made it

thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it

[normal hawk]

Np

[royal kernel]

am broke boi

can i get a graphics card that runs games at least 30fps around or below 250 price range

sorry if these types of questions are asked a lot

[royal kernel]

also im willing to go used

cuz 1.7 gigs of vram just wont cut it

[normal hawk]

Look for a GTX 960 or 970

[keen nacelle]

970 is similar to 1050 ti, id say look for a 980/1060 6gb

[heady turtle]

You're thinking of a 960 not 970

[keen nacelle]

Really? What's 970 similar to then?

1060 3gb?

[heady turtle]

Ye

90% of time prev gen x70 ~= next gen x60 etc

@keen nacelle

[keen nacelle]

Yeah I knew most of the time that held but ig I was just remembering wrong

[heady turtle]

Usually only starts getting weird with the ti cards

[keen nacelle]

I just remembered wrong, someone listed a 960 on hws for like 250 a lil ago, and I searched perf and then prices but ig I got it confused for a 970 2gb

[fair veldt]

Hello. I’m looking to buy a GTX 1650 for my son but I’m not sure if it would be compatible with is a power supply Corsair TX650M.

[magic wing]

Itll be fine yeah

[heady turtle]

That's a great power supply, i wouldn't buy a 1650 in 2021 though, the prices on them are awful, I'd recommend getting something like a gtx 970 /1060/980/980 ti

[fair veldt]

Really. Thank you!!! I wasn’t sure . It’s hard finding GPU right now.

[heady turtle]

Yeah, they will perform better and you can usually get them around the 200$ mark

Used* but you can't find any not used ones that aren't a stupid price because they've been out of production for years

[fair veldt]

Thanks again. Does newegg have those cards?

[heady turtle]

You'll want to look on eBay, Facebook marketplace or r/hardwareswap on reddit is where you'll wanna look

[magic wing]

You should be able to get a gtx 970 for 200$ on /r/hardwareswap

[fair veldt]

Great!!! Thanks !

[coarse gust]

I know an R9 290x can handle most games at 40-60 fps at 1080p granted lower settings but idk there current pricing

I only know cause i have one

[quartz gull]

Shuffle attempt #34!

I better win this time I heccin swear

[green harness]

GL!

[keen nacelle]

I entered 50 something times and never won

[quartz gull]

Yeah ikr

I must not buy enough from Newegg for them to be nice to me

[keen nacelle]

Newegg locked all 3 of my accounts whenever I tried buying with them

Tried three times

Can't even buy smthn not logged in

It's annoying bc if there's a good deal I can't even buy it

I'd have to have a friend buy it who lives like an hour away

[heady turtle]

Did you contact support?

[green harness]

I haven't bought a ton from Newegg and I've gotten two shuffle Ws. It's fairly random

[keen nacelle]

Haven't bothered yet but I really should

[quartz gull]

It was an obvious joke .-.

[green harness]

There are a lot of people spinning weird theories about the shuffle so not that obvious to me 🤷‍♂️

[normal hawk]

I've won a few shuffles but only bought an Xbox series S on it.

Passed up a 3070 ti, 2 3060's, 5950x, and 12900k. Think there was another one i passed up too

[crisp ocean]

I bought a 3060 with shuffle and that’s it

But I’ve won 10+
Times

[ivory herald]

Gtx 660 might still have a current windows 10 driver, just so people know even a 900 series is still supported.

[rustic pulsar]

when removing gpu, do I unlock the lock before or after I pull the left part of the gpu out of the socket?

[green harness]

Unlock it first

[hot folio]

If you pull the left side first, good chance the GPU will get stuck

[abstract vigil]

guys is rtx 3060 good for 1440p gaming?

[little sleet]

it can do 1440p but i wouldnt recommend it

[dusk basin]

on my 1660 i get good frames with 1440p, so a 3060 should be more than enough for most games

given the games i play most are minecraft and valorant so 300 frames on a 1660 isnt much

[green harness]

It really depends on the game

[ivory herald]

Csgo, 4k is fine. Far cry 4/5 maxed, 1080p and 1440p w/ some settings medium

[wispy drift]

I think Newegg loves me, 4th shuffle win for the same model and aib gpu bundle

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/will-smith-thats-hot-cool-amazed-gif-13488740

[heady turtle]

[ivory herald]

Why not just sell that 3060 ti for $480 or w/e it would be. How good is that GA pwy?

Live and learn.

[heady turtle]

It's a decent, low priority b tier psu

They do it so they can move some of the stock off their shelves

[wispy drift]

damn and mine is already shipped just like 2 hrs after ordering

[quartz gull]

[lone pond]

[coarse gust]

Now thatll be a powerful chip

If its true

Probably the performance of a 1650 but the power draw of a r9 290x

[keen nacelle]

I was hoping for mid 16 series perf, but thats still very strong for an apu

I think I was expecting more because of the m1 max/pro igpus

[normal hawk]

Lmfao. Someone may or may not have been fired for eth mining at the office on one of the gaming PC's 🤣

[empty compass]

looks like the "new" 2060's are mining cards. not exclusivly, but they are better for mining than the 3060

[keen nacelle]

LMAO

[keen nacelle]

guessing they didnt put lhr on them?

would make sense

when are they dropping again?

[empty compass]

guess not, something tells me they did that on purpose

nvidia is real sketch as of late it would seem

[keen nacelle]

im guessing 3050 ti will beat the 2060 12gb in gaming

[keen nacelle]

maybe to try to get miners away from 30 series? idfk

i think they mostly made it for editing purposes

and rendering

maybe machine learning

but i guess mining would make sense too

[empty compass]

i hope thats their plan, but something tells me they just dont care about gamers/creators anymore and just want to sell to what gives them the most money

[keen nacelle]

get rid of older memory modules at the same time

[empty compass]

nvidia didnt send any test sample to Partners or reviewers for review

some would say they didnt want to advertise "old" tech, but its technically a new card

idk, its hard to say what nvidia is doing exactly, since they didnt say a word about the 2060 release, its just kinda sus

[heady turtle]

I'd guess about equal tbh

[heady turtle]

It's so they can use 2gb dies instead of 1gb dies which they need for 3060 ti and up imo

[keen nacelle]

maybe

[vital oriole]

to me

nvidia just wants moneh

like they don't need to do it at all

but they know people will buy it

and without lhr, miners will too

that's money moment and a half

[heady turtle]

As long as someone buys their product at a profit, especially a high profit they couldn't care less who it sells to ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vital oriole]

^

[ashen nacelle]

In the Newegg shuffle is the ASUS Dual Rtx 3060 12GB worth it for $469

[heady turtle]

its an okay price

[vital oriole]

ye

[ivory herald]

The Ti at $600 is a slighty better value. Checking reviews again but think I'll wait until closer to msrp.

[woeful stump]

1650 GDDR6 opinion anyone?

[cerulean rover]

its a 1650. not worth more than like 200$ tbh

[woeful stump]

Ok. How about gaming wise

Worth it still?

[heady turtle]

id rather get a used gtx 970

[woeful stump]

Meh I just went with the 1650

I was hoping to get a 3000 series to pair with my 3700x but oh well

[ivory herald]

3000 are way above msrp. Idk about 20 series, 10 series might be old but at least they're close to msrp (not factoring inflation)

[keen nacelle]

everything is inflated

and using msrp when talking about older cards is kinda irrelevant imo

[ivory herald]

Yes. Sort of, it's for perspective sometimes. Of course certain cards over time have good or bad msrp so examples sometimes aren't great.

[shut magnet]

I sold my 20 series above what I paid so definitely inflation

[ivory herald]

When? Inflation is usually minor & gradually increases each year. It's not like how the current gpu market is. Can still buy a decent sports car at $15k for instance.

[heady turtle]

market inflation not currency

[ivory herald]

Good point. @shut magnet how long ago did ya sell. Profit on a sale is good anyways, especially pc parts that almost always used to lose money after just a while.

[shut magnet]

About a month ago. Bought it for $480 and sold for $820.

3 years ago, refurbished asus turbo 2080

[ivory herald]

Holy smokes. That's the blower too huh. If only I was "online" around 2018. No biggie.

[heady turtle]

Ahh that's a steal of s gpu you got in the first place

[fading sorrel]

Gotta love that the 1050 ti cost about as much as the 3060’s msrp.

[shut magnet]

I guess blower style is sought after these days? I'm not entirely sure. I tried getting a second way back and it was going for 1k but nobody bought it. Rumor has it they're still trying to sell it lol

[heady turtle]

Nah any good card is lol

[shut magnet]

Well I'm keeping my 2080 strix, cools so much better than that blower did. Or at least quietly.

[shut magnet]

Well funny enough it was an upgrade from the 2060 it had. But that card is a funny joke lately.

[ivory herald]

Oh indeed. I liked certain blower cards but not their overall sound or temp. So you went from the Turbo to the Strix, solid sidegrade. Mine is a Strix also so I get how good they are. Somehow ended up w/ the rare/uncommon 11Gbps model. 10% higher Vram sure doesn't hurt. All I've done is tried maybe 105 PL and/or put a lock on the voltage/clock curve so ingame clock is steadier. Also pick the volts & keep the temps even better. ie: a nice 1v is a good balance.

[vital oriole]

Whoa

I would be interested in it tbh

[normal hawk]

Same tbh

but that would mean another PC. and I have 4 at my desk until my sister comes and picks hers up lol. and a NUC from work xD

[ivory herald]

AB is funky sometimes & will stick to 608mhz. This time I just hit profile 2 and apply (prof 1 is "locked" 1v in-game is all)

[heady turtle]

do you have a lock in your v/f curve?

[ivory herald]

Just prof 1

[heady turtle]

yeah can you send a screenshot of the v/f curve in profile 1

[ivory herald]

NVInspector MDPS could be a factor too, but doubt. When at 608mhz, it might say P5 instead of P8 for 1 of those spots.

[heady turtle]

Yeah you have a lock so go into the curve and press l and it will be gone

[ivory herald]

ok, cool. Usually I just sometimes do the lock when starting a game, to slightly limit max Volts/Core bouncing a bit while under load. prof 3-5 is just seeing what 95/90/85 PL can do. Thnx Pato. I disabled hardware* accel in certain programs like Firefox to stay at low idle even more, eh.

[heady turtle]

no point locking voltage it will do fine

[ivory herald]

oh yeah not like I'm trying 120 % PL huh. Right. I'll go ahead and try the auto fan curve sometime too instead of my setup. 0-fan modes are awesome I'll say.

[heady turtle]

that fan curve suckkkkkkkkks

[ivory herald]

how so in your opinion? I'll try completely auto on a separate profile and sometime after a few games I'll see what the fans actually do.

[heady turtle]

youre not letting the fans go above 40% even at 100c

[ivory herald]

It barely hits 75 or 80C as it is, it is winter though. That helps a lil bit.

[heady turtle]

thats throttling temps tbh

[ivory herald]

Doesnt seem to throttle ever, the Strix cooler is really good.

[heady turtle]

i cant remember what 10 series is like but 30 series throttles at 83c and id say it would be lower for 10 seires

[ivory herald]

same I think. I lowered temp limit to 80, i'll raise it for furmark and see what happens. I'll edit fan settings too.

[heady turtle]

just leave it linked to power limit

[ivory herald]

done, so they're linked and 105 PL/85c TL

[pliant monolith]

does the type graphics card you can use depend on your cpu, and mobo? im running a msi b550m pro-vdh mb and a ryzen 5 5600g 3.9 cpu. i dont need any thing near top the line, i need something low to mid teir that has 4g+ for 3d modeling (just a side hobby of mine). they cheaper i can get the better since Christmas wiped me out XD

[sterile zodiac]

Basically anything from the 10xx line of nvidia will work, and I’m not sure about the amd side. But I will say, finding a gpu will be incredibly difficult

Anything 10 series or newer I should say

[livid idol]

You could use a 3090 with a first gen intel chip, your options aren't really limited

Just get whatever you can

gtx 980 is still decent for 1080p and the 900 series isn't scalped as hard as newer ones

[pliant monolith]

Thanks. Will start looking!

[ivory herald]

Pcie 3.0 has been around for about a decade, & most gpus support 2.0 even as old as that is. Nvidia has current Win7/8/10 (maybe 11) drivers for gtx 660 & newer. Just fyi. (Anything pre-900 series isn't usually worth it these days I'll add)

[steady locust]

I have HP elitedesk 800 G3 and it is Intel HD 630 (trash), I want to insert a GTX gpu but will there any problems if I?
(specs i5 7 gen 3.4GHz 16GB DDR4 ram)

[heady turtle]

Yeah but not your cpu it probably has like no room to fit a gpu or a pcie power connector so the best gpu you could put in there would probably be a low profile 1650

[lone pond]

What is the best graphics card to buy

is it worth trying to buy a 3060 at newegg or am I better off going to stores in person to get it?

(im in canada btw)

[keen nacelle]

better off either going in person or buying smthn on the second hand market

or newegg shuffle

[nocturne fog]

alright, thanks

figured id ask since newegg would save me a lot of effort of going in person lol

im assuming newegg shuffle is just based on luck right

[keen nacelle]

yes

[gray bloom]

temp wise? should i go for rog strix or asus tuf?

[ivory herald]

Lawl, you asked.

[ivory herald]

30 series? Anyway, price might not be too close, but Strix is better.

[vital oriole]

tuf and strix are pretty close

the tuf 30 series is one of the best cards

paying extra for strix is not worth it tbh

[steady locust]

Just afraid of I can't insert the card after I bought

[ivory herald]

true, I think strix might be 3x8pin while tuf is 2x8, but not 100% on that. That's not a pro or con for either necessarily. Double agree, TUF is a fine choice, I read it labeled as mid-enthusiast, not a simple budget model. Just slightly lower bin/clocks VS the strix.

[vital oriole]

yeah

tuf is like a notch lower than rog

[wheat crag]

is this hotspot ok just for playing fortnite at 1080p with all epic settings and no rtx or dlss for a 3090fe?

[vital oriole]

that's fine

[wheat crag]

@vital oriole is it ok for a 3090 fe? forgot to mention the gpu

[vital oriole]

eh yeah that's still good

[wheat crag]

thanks

[ivory herald]

+1, 80C hotspot is more than fine. Also, 1080P w/ a 3090....bet those minimum fps are plenty.

[gray bloom]

yeah im thinking of getting a rog strix or asus tuf 3080 for my second gaming pc😂 so im thinking which one will be good temp wise

Can't tell if joking. Probably pretty similar overall though (for temps).

reasonable priced graphic card depends on luck of finding a decent sale. GTX 970 I know supports 3 monitors and would be pretty good at $160ish. gpu prices right now are higher than normal for everything.

[ivory herald]

haha, that's different if "spare" is what the GF uses. I'd have to see current price difference to really suggest between strix/tuf. Is that 4k or 1440P? Although I think the basic 3060 is like a 2070/S so makes sense if above 1080P.

[gray bloom]

im using 4k she using 1440p we both play demanding games i have a 3080 already if i get either the strix or tuf im putting it in my pc since i play longer than her most of the time

founders would have been preferred but due to double the price i wont get that😂

[ivory herald]

So they're both around $1600 now I guess? look at this OOS listing at best buy lol. If for you at 4K, I'd probably go Strix even if it's not tons better than Tuf, it is better in everyway.

Hey good news is if you sell the 3060 to help pay for better gpu, it'll fetch a pretty decent amount. edit: can't believe 3080 ti/3090 is $2k+. It's like a 8800 Ultra times 2 or 3.

[gray bloom]

3060 would have been fine if she doesnt nag me about having low fps and she doesnt max all the settings out😂

thats true its non lhr as wellprob could get more too😂

but it’s okay hard to find a gamer gf anyways so gotta give her the best one lol

[ivory herald]

^ It'll be worth it. Less raging about the FPS drops

[gray bloom]

better than having her go out with people

so worth it in the end

i wonder if i should camp

for a gpu

with no guarantees

[ivory herald]

best buy drop sort of deal? Seems like 1 of the better chances

[gray bloom]

well i got a 3080 by chance when i walk through my local store and saw one

when i wasnt even shopping for one

my place already did the drop so january it is

[magic wing]

A non lhr 3080 is worth a 3080ti

Lol

[gray bloom]

a im not mining on it lol😂

its only the 3060

since i bought it launch date

and got a 3080 by luck which is lhr now says on the back of the box

[ivory herald]

If you mined, watchout some newer drivers are impacting performance.

[gray bloom]

my pocket will not be happy but got a happy gamer gf😂i hope she pitch in

nah lol ill pass on mining i know its good money but i like my card on good condition

[ivory herald]

Same, not gonna put the wear and tear on a 1080 for what, $60/mo? - Imagine it later randomly craps out because of it

[gray bloom]

true lol well its a passive incomr what they say

true lol im thinking of getting a thermal pads change though

on my 3080 to see if i get a better temp

70-75 while gaming doesnt look too good

😂

[ivory herald]

doesn't hurt. If I re-pasted anything it would just be the cpu or the old 660 just to try.

[gray bloom]

thats true i built my pc like 4months ago so yeah its still in the okay side

i always put it on maintenance like once a month😂

[ivory herald]

not bad for how much wattage/performance, but 70C max in most games even better. I did furmark at 4K 8x AA and barely hit 67C w/ 40% fan, lol

[gray bloom]

btw out of curiosity does ur cpu hold back ur gpu?

[ivory herald]

yes, just certain games like Apex Legends w/ the huge maps. Any normal FPS, nope. Usualy max'd settings, Apex just has a few cpu-related settings on med or low

[gray bloom]

honestly maybe i should get it to like higher temp cause its winter here free heater lol

oh i see i thought it would bottleneck it or something

[magic wing]

Gaming kills a gpu faster than mining properly

Since mining only hits vram

While gaming hits vram and core

[gray bloom]

well i mostly play like 5-6hours per day

since i have work😂

[magic wing]

Dont game either then that will kill it much faster

[gray bloom]

while mining its like 24/7

[ivory herald]

mining mostly Vmem use or what?

[gray bloom]

i dont mind the mining people they do what they gotta do

i just prefer not to mine on my pc

[magic wing]

I mean if you set up an oc profile properly u arent gonna do any harm but you do you ig

[magic wing]

Yeah

[ivory herald]

yeah 75C is fine, but I'll say I dont like seeing the hotspot temp sometimes haha. should turn off that sensor.

[magic wing]

Ethereum mining at least

Raven uses core a lil

[gray bloom]

i mean ive tried mining but i dont trust the pc when im gone for 8hours since no one is watching it

who knows what’s the gonna happen

thats just me

[ivory herald]

After furmark 4k for 10+ min. The 8pin power lead is definitely plenty for 200w or less gpu's.

[gray bloom]

mine going 80c if i really push it to the limit lol😂

thats why i dont play most of games on ultra settings

gotta go so see ya😂nice talking to u

[ivory herald]

nP. I think furmark isn't as tough on a GPU as some games tbh.

[gray bloom]

i use heaven

[ivory herald]

I shouldn't started when I 1st got this 1080. At this point, less profit? idk. I'm oout of the loop

[ivory herald]

I have, maybe 70C max and 85 hotspot. It's a fun benchmark kind of. Be good

[white bloom]

do you need to use thermal pads on a gpu waterblock

[timid narwhal]

yes

unless you want your GPU to not be a GPU for long

[ashen nacelle]

What is a reasonable price for a 960/970

[heady turtle]

140/180$/€ ish

[ashen nacelle]

Is a 1660 super good?

[steady locust]

What RTX card should I go for HP elitedesk 800 G3 or I cant even insert it?

[cerulean rover]

For close to around 200-250$, sure

[cerulean rover]

Probably can't fit much from the looks of it

[steady locust]

hmmm i saw RTX A2000 can it tho?

[cerulean rover]

Do you have this

Or this

[steady locust]

not that small

[cerulean rover]

Both called elite desk 800 g3

[steady locust]

yes

[cerulean rover]

Then you'd prob have to get some measurements yourself on how much space length wise you have

Prob can fit most GPUs but will depend, and also take a look at how many slots width wide you'd have

[steady locust]

Alr thanks

is there any GDDR limit or DDR limit something like that

because my friend told me even if I insert a GTX 1660 GPU it'd burnt

[cerulean rover]

I mean, take a look at the PSU

if the PSU can't support it, it'll likely just stop working mid operation

burning, well, if something is really bad, maybe

as in, taking a look at wattage

[heady turtle]

Nah

That probs has a 200w psu or something

[steady locust]

I been getting trolled for having a really bad gpu so anyways thank you guys for advice

[spare relic]

I had nothing but a GT 730 for five years

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steady locust]

meh better than my intel gpu

[spare relic]

https://youtu.be/j0KxURugkcA

[steady locust]

ayo mine is Intel 630

[ashen nacelle]

I assume a 1060 for $290 isn’t good right?

[cerulean rover]

nope

that's more 2060 pricing

anything above like 350$ its probably time to start looking at new 3060's

[spare relic]

my GT 730 has the DDR3 spec

[dusty nova]

I got a RTX 3060 yesterday

[steady locust]

congra

[dusty nova]

ty

my first gpu I have litterally ever had

[steady locust]

one of my fri got rtx 3060 and start flexing and trolling me

[ashen nacelle]

Ya I’ve been trying to get 3070s and I’ve been waiting along time so, I’m prob just going to get a lower end gpu while I wait

[cerulean rover]

shuffle

3060ti been pretty common on shuffle recently

[ashen nacelle]

Aren’t they overpriced tho

[steady locust]

HP Envy Desktops got GTX 1660 Not fair

how to check GDDR btw

[ashen nacelle]

Is the ASUS KO edition well priced for the 3060ti and 3070

[cerulean rover]

depends on price ofc but been decent

[cerulean rover]

that's just which generation of memory they use, usually listed

[normal hawk]

evga ftw3 3060 ti was 529 at Microcenter for me

[ashen nacelle]

I was thinking about going to one

The closest one is 2 hours away

[quartz gull]

Attempt #35 at the shuffle let's go

[spare relic]

https://tenor.com/view/honestly-quite-incredible-drinking-water-underwater-cool-gif-22285702

[cerulean rover]

there's been quite a few 500-600$ 3060ti's on wegg shuffle

what

ono

[green harness]

That sucks Rommy

[cerulean rover]

might've ended up on that one alabama mountain

[normal hawk]

huh

[green harness]

That driver must've been under a lot of stress. I'd think there'so way that gets missed with how everything is tracked

[normal hawk]

do you mean you spent 500 on a 3060?

[green harness]

Well now it sounds like Rommy spent 550 on a time-wasting source of frustration

[dusk kraken]

why is there no graphica c

ard

@cursive urchin

[heady turtle]

Shortage

Demand go

Supply is but still nowhere near enough for demand

[dusk kraken]

awh:(

this makes me sad

[light spruce]

Gpu issue?

[dusk kraken]

i do not get it

bwomp:(

[ivory herald]

Possible. Try another port or integrated gfx if you can.

[cerulean rover]

@light spruce it's likely either monitor, cable, or GPU

[chilly urchin]

Soo uhh.. where the gpu’s?

[heady turtle]

^

[spare relic]

yes well

it's about time for l o n g a g e

https://tenor.com/view/idubbz-measuring-tape-idubbz-tape-measure-meme-gif-21525107

[ashen nacelle]

True

[dusk kraken]

why dont they make more gpu

[ivory herald]

Taking their time so prices stay higher. although, gpu makers don't exactly profit from the huge used market either. Generally gpu companies made more money from selling tons of mid-range gpus

[heady turtle]

Manufacturing is at 100% capacity they can't

[dusk kraken]

this news saddens my heart bwomp:(

[dreamy dragon]

Shrpo#0652 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ivory herald]

Is it though?

[heady turtle]

Yes that's why they're scrambling to build new fabs and why there's not more stock lol

[livid idol]

Yeah, the fabs are reporting every machine they can possibly turn on is on

[ivory herald]

I forget it's mainly 30 series being produced now? certain people need to slow down on buying so many for mining, wouldn't hurt. Used market is another thing. Buyers keep bidding and paying 😅

[keen nacelle]

miners contribute to maybe 10% of demand

they are not casuing the shortage

and 10% is on the high end

[livid idol]

As far as desktop GPUs, mainly 30 and 6000 yeah. But those same facilities also make everything from console chips to car computers.

[ivory herald]

So there's overall just super hugh demand since covid was big I guess. Plus, it is winter so lots are inside a bunch
