One of the best 3090 cards you can buy

[heady turtle]

It's ths overclocking binned 3090

Probably the 2nd best followed by gallax HOF cards but they don't sell in NA

[alpine drift]

Can u link me to that card

[heady turtle]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-3998-KR

[alpine drift]

No the gallax hof

[heady turtle]

Google it

[cerulean rover]

HOF is more exclusive

[alpine drift]

Wdym

[cerulean rover]

It's typically only really available to overclockers in Asia

With the oclabs versions only for one of the oc competitions afaik

And well, in general, you're not really going to find it outside of Asia anyways

[alpine drift]

It says the MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio 24G is the best online

[cerulean rover]

Lmao no

[heady turtle]

[cerulean rover]

MSI's own Suprim X is better than the trio, and kinpin better than both

[heady turtle]

X trio is good, definitely not the best

It would probably go something like suprim x, strix, kingpin, HOF

[lone pond]

Anyone else have an RTX 3060? How how boost do you have on your core clock?

[cerulean rover]

Every card OCs slightly differently, an OC that works for one person may not for the next

[lone pond]

I'm still curious

[cerulean rover]

Prob 50-100 most commonly

[heady turtle]

What i would do is check the clocks on timespy results for 3060's

[lone pond]

That's a good idea, thank you

[cerulean rover]

Tbf that would be some of the better OCs

[lone pond]

but it was also an icebreaker that failed to land

I'm also curious to see if the rumors are true

cause they have been for me

[heady turtle]

Well yeah but you can go back though 1/2 the pages or so to get an average

[cerulean rover]

Maybe

[heady turtle]

The rumours?

[lone pond]

getting up 2-2.1 GHz out of box with air cooling

[lone pond]

stable at 2.0GHz boost with simple boost OC's

[heady turtle]

Don't know 3060 clocks off by hand but that sounds too high

[cerulean rover]

Meh, if it works, it works

[lone pond]

That's boost locked so that's obvious best case scenario but she games around 2.01Ghz at about 70-74C

[cerulean rover]

Can prob push memory more

[lone pond]

I tried

temps are okay, she just goes unstable

[alpine drift]

Which do u think is best for gaming

[cerulean rover]

Sad

[cerulean rover]

For gaming, all about the same

Doesn't matter too much for gaming

[alpine drift]

Oh alright

[cerulean rover]

Sure one might be 0.5% better but doesn't matter for gaming

[crisp ocean]

Suprim and strix is bad? What?

[cerulean rover]

They're worse than kp and hof

[heady turtle]

^

[crisp ocean]

I thought they were like really good

[heady turtle]

They are

[crisp ocean]

I thought XC3 was probably one of the worst

What

OHHH

I’m an idiot

[cerulean rover]

Sure, really good, but KP and hof are really gooder

[crisp ocean]

I togought the spaces were like worst two to The best two

[cerulean rover]

Worst would be like ventus 2x

[crisp ocean]

Worst would be Zoltacs, Ventus, XC3, and like probably FTW3

In no particular order

I would also say master xtreme cards are pretty high up there

Maybe over suprim tbh

[cerulean rover]

Ventus 3x is decent, but ventus 2x prob worst

[crisp ocean]

I was tempted to buy a HoF but I could only find it off of a shady African website

[cerulean rover]

Lol

And well, I think suprim would beat aorus Xtreme

[crisp ocean]

Hmmm

I dunno AX is definitely top 5

KP, HoF, AX, suprim, and strix I would say

[cerulean rover]

Yea definitely up there but well, they're close nuff anyways

Oh yea I forgot kudan

Hof kudan kp just in a different tier

[alpine drift]

How good is Geforce RTX 3090 Video Game Graphics Card For Yingchi HALL OF FAME

Just wondering

Didn’t know there was different 3090 cards until you guys told me 😃

[cerulean rover]

What the hell is yingchi

[cerulean rover]

Gonna guess it's some ripoff that just added hall of fame as a buzzword

[alpine drift]

It’s from china

[cerulean rover]

That's just making it sound more like a ripoff

GALAX is the company that makes the Hof cards we've been talking about btw

[alpine drift]

I’ll dm u the linked group

[ivory herald]

I'd rather 2k-ish at 1v

[lone pond]

Where can I get a low profile 750 ti that ships to new Zealand for under 90 usd

[dire coral]

would it be possible to use x2 6pin to plug into an 8pin with 4 pins being unused

[toxic sinew]

No

I mean there are 2 x 6pin to 8 pin adapters but I would not recommend using one. Does your PSU not have a 8pin?

What PSU and what wattage is it?

[solemn panther]

Hhhmmmm

[dire coral]

turns out i have a 6 and 8 pin not x2 6pin

[heady turtle]

Kudan? Who makes that

[magic wing]

Igame

https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/colorful-igame-geforce-rtx-3090-kudan-review,1.html

I think kudan is top of the top

Then hof

Then kingpin

[heady turtle]

Hmm

[cerulean rover]

colorful makes kudan

[quartz gull]

Can we talk about how an entire rtx 3060 laptop is cheaper than scalper 3060's?

Like that's absurd

[quartz gull]

Owner of a ventus 2x 2060, can confirm it's not great

[dreamy dragon]

Suave.FN#8374 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[normal hawk]

better than the phoenix fan though right?

[quartz gull]

Well at least there you have a smaller card

The 2x is like a typical length card with a crappy slab of aluminum on it that needs high airflow to not thermal throttle

It literally needs repasting or it thermal throttles out of box

[normal hawk]

True true

[quartz gull]

Attempt #40 on the shuffle let's go

I'd be so excited to pay $200 over MSRP for a card... Considering I've always went for $300 or less for cards it's crazy to think about.

[ashen nacelle]

Is the asus dual for 700 dollars a good price

On the shuffle

[ivory herald]

3060 Ti at $650ish isn't too crazy these days. Won't catch me buying it though. A 3070 at $700 or less would be decent.

[ivory herald]

Shuffle ended, but perhaps

[quartz gull]

I'm just waiting for it to tell me I've lost my 40th attempt

[ivory herald]

I haven't been up early enough for most of these

[untold flicker]

Yo

Can anyone send me a link to the 3060?

[heady turtle]

i told you, stock is a laughing stock atm so no

[untold flicker]

So there ain’t nun in stock?

[normal hawk]

Yes and there never will be. NVidia shut their doors forever

[untold flicker]

How will I get a gpu then?

[normal hawk]

you won't be able to anymore. GPU's were banned for people who don't check the pins. its a Federal law now.

[ivory herald]

Have to prove you don't mine to get a gpu now.

[normal hawk]

Woah. I could sell my Non LHR 3080 for like 2k and then buy a 6900XT huh?

tempting

[ivory herald]

Nice profit.

[keen nacelle]

with what is currently happening with my pc i might end up selling my parts and buying an ABS build

my psu is making a rattling noise

its in there tight

idk how to fix it

[ivory herald]

You already have a 3060 Ti though. I'm gonna keep watching 2080/S/Ti prices. I got hooked on having a 70/80 tier

[normal hawk]

is it the fan thats rattling?

[keen nacelle]

i think

te one in the psu

[normal hawk]

Why sell the PC parts when you could just buy one on sale or possibly fix that one?

[keen nacelle]

because i still dont trust myself to build a pc

and id have to recable manage the whole thing

[normal hawk]

You'd just be plugging the cables up. your PC is already built

ah

[quartz gull]

It may be your fan is off balance. Had that happen to both a case and GPU fan before

[keen nacelle]

thats what it sounds like

this psu is about 8 months old and it hasnt had the issue before today tho

[quartz gull]

When fans wear out they can become off balance, if that's what it is you need to actually check on that sooner than later. If that fan stops working you could have big issues for a PSU

[median sequoia]

What’s a good price for a 3080ti

[runic crypt]

i think the lowest is 1200

assuming msrp

[median sequoia]

That’s for the founders edition?

[runic crypt]

oh

nvm

from what i looked into other models go for 1.5k at best

but that's still generous

[median sequoia]

Yea I think that makes sense

[runic crypt]

you're lucky if you could find it for 1.6k

[median sequoia]

Ok 🥲

[runic crypt]

i'm trying to look for a 3060 ti at the msrp

or 50-100 above at best

[median sequoia]

There’s a 3060 bundle on Antonline

[runic crypt]

for how much

i still have to focus on ram and psu beforehand

my extra ram's coming tomorrow

it's the same brand as my current one

just adding it to the existing build

[median sequoia]

700 plus tax

[runic crypt]

oof

what does the bundle include

tbh that's an overpriced keyboard

[median sequoia]

https://www.antonline.com/Graphic_Cards/Chipset_Model=RTX_3060_XC

[runic crypt]

but at least it's an XC

i found it

thank you

[median sequoia]

No problem

[runic crypt]

how much does that model go for without the keyboard

so is an XC like a Super?

[median sequoia]

Yes I’m guessing

[cerulean rover]

No

XC is just the name, it's one of the cheapest models

It's been around 400$ on shuffle

[runic crypt]

oof, it's a weaker 3060 then

so the kb is just overpriced

at least it comes with a modular psu and capture card

[cerulean rover]

everything there is overpriced

[runic crypt]

i know

but at least it exists

thank you for the link paulyp

[median sequoia]

Yea no problem

[runic crypt]

at least the modular power supply and capture card are there

[quartz gull]

Cheapest you'll get a 3060ti not at best buy is gonna be like $550+ from the Newegg shuffle

[runic crypt]

fortunately that $700 bundle has stuff i can make use of

[normal hawk]

Why is everyone disregarding Microcenter?

Evga FTW3 3060 ti = 529

[runic crypt]

thank you for that

it says 539.99

but close

[normal hawk]

Mine was 529 at microcenter. Maybe the price went up

[ivory herald]

Orig msrp was $400ish lol

[runic crypt]

ye

[wary anvil]

Microcenter is really hit and miss with their prices

[severe onyx]

tbh its better to buy laptop for now

[heady turtle]

It's only better to by laptops if you need the portability of one, prebuilts are the best/easiest way to get gpus atm

[normal hawk]

Shuffle only has ddr5 today.

[hollow heath]

What would be a fair swap for a 6700 XT?

I miss Nvidia lmao

[ivory herald]

3060 ti, but it matches the 3070 in certain games.

[normal hawk]

I'd think a 3060 ti. you're losing money on it.

Maybe a 3070 if the person wants to mine but got an LHR 3070

[hollow heath]

Oh ok I don’t really mind LHR tbh

[normal hawk]

actually, the hashrate on the LHR 3070 is close to the Hashrate on the 6700xt lol

[ivory herald]

Oops, here's the upper part

[hollow heath]

So you think I can trade for a 3070 LHR?

[ivory herald]

If you can, go for it. Overall better in games. Quite a bit in some.

[hard wren]

I dont think anyone would do that but maybe you can find someone

[normal hawk]

Either way though, unless you bought it from AMD directly you'll be losing out on a trade

[hollow heath]

Well I bought it for 660

[heady turtle]

Only in amd sponsored titles

Same goes for nvidia cards in nvidia sponsored titles

[hollow heath]

So 3070 = 6700 XT

[heady turtle]

3060 ti

[hollow heath]

Oh ok

So I should trade for a 3060 Ti?

[hard wren]

seems like a lot of trouble to get the same performance

I like nvidia better too but I wouldnt trade away an amd card that i already owned for the same performance nvidia card

[hollow heath]

Hmm ok ok but if I could trade mine for a 3070 I should?

[ivory herald]

I'd say yes.

[heady turtle]

Then you're being scammed or you'll have to pay extra

[hollow heath]

Oh ok ok

[keen nacelle]

With the current market, probably 3060/2070s + cash, 2080, or you might even have to add cash for a 3060 ti lhr depending on model

Nvidia cards have more value in this market

[ivory herald]

3060 at current prices are poor "value" to me, besides the high end cards that are $1k+. still at 1080P so of course that effects an opinion.

[heady turtle]

Nah 3060s are being scalped for like 800-900$, 6700xts would be more like 1100ish

[hollow heath]

Would someone trade me for a 2080 Ti?

[heady turtle]

About 10% upgrade but probably not without cash

[hollow heath]

But if I could trade for it I should

[ivory herald]

Yeah, 2080 ti beats the 3070 easily in most stuff if I recall. If prices stay like this, doubt I'll ever use a current gen gpu.

[hollow heath]

Oh ok

I want to trade but idk who would wanna

[rare blade]

What’s the best gpu I can get for 600-700 stock price

Not with the market spike so I can get later on

[solemn panther]

3080

Fe

[keen nacelle]

I said + cash, also not here

In the US 6700 xt reference I see around 650-700, 3060 around 600

On hws anyways

[rustic barn]

anyone know the msrp for ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 V2 OC Edition 8GB? Ping me pls

[cerulean rover]

780$

[cerulean rover]

The strix 3070 v2 oc is currently listed at 780$.

[normal hawk]

not too bad

[rustic barn]

thanks

[rustic barn]

where?? can i have the link

[rustic barn]

ty

[toxic sinew]

Not in stock at that price most likely but that is what it is listed at for MSRP.

[cerulean rover]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-rtx-3070-rog-strix-rtx3070-o8g-v2-gaming/p/N82E16814126518

780$

[rustic barn]

thanks

it shows 1385

[toxic sinew]

Correct because that is a third party seller

Not Newegg themselves selling it at listed price because is it out of stock

[rustic barn]

do they sell it?

or will it be in a shuffle?

[toxic sinew]

Newegg sells that product when it's in stock

[rustic barn]

ya

last time i saw the shuffle is 3080 and 3090s

never seem 3070 and 3060s

[ivory herald]

Day or 2 ago they shuffled a 3070 for $700ish. 3060 is the 1 I won't think about unless it was sub-$400. Top cards are fast, but 300w+ at load sometimes so perf per watt is medium.

[rustic barn]

dont have the budget to get 3080 or 3090

considering strix 3060 or 3070

[cerulean rover]

There's always different things each shuffle

[rustic barn]

this mornings shuffle is ddr5

no gpu

[ivory herald]

It's shuffle or notif when back in stock, but stock changes often & very quick.

[rustic barn]

ya

only thing u can do is really sit, watch and ready

[ivory herald]

For sure. Not like a year or 2 ago walk into a store and see a dozen 2080s for normal msrp.

[rustic barn]

lmao

[normal hawk]

Why Strix specifically?

[rustic barn]

performance and budget

[normal hawk]

Budget? Strix is one of the most expensive models

[rustic barn]

550 msrp

for 3060

[normal hawk]

Yeah, i got a 3060 ti for 529.

[rustic barn]

nice

when did u get it

[normal hawk]

Strix = more expensive than a card up a tier.

Early November at microcenter

[rustic barn]

online?

[normal hawk]

In store

[rustic barn]

i will go there one day

since i dont live in la

[normal hawk]

I wouldn't set your heart on a Strix. It's performance isn't worth the price for most people over other cards of the same model.

Especially when the price is a tier ahead almost every case.

[ivory herald]

Same, mc is 7 hrs 1 way. Skip 3060 though, Ti model is a way better deal unless the nonTi happened to be much less. Even then, the 3060 overall isn't impressive imo. 30 series is somewhat power hungry also. 2070s/2080 might be a better pick than the lowest 30 series.

[rustic barn]

what should i go with>

and i dont want to go with radeon gpu

[normal hawk]

3060 ti/2080/2070 super depending on what you can get cheapest.

Anything besides a 2x ventus or OEM card is fine.

[rustic barn]

but like asus is a premium brand

i would like to go with asus or msi

[normal hawk]

The have premium models. Doesn't mean everything from them is premium

Ugh dumb image

[rustic barn]

true

[ivory herald]

There's a few good 3fan models. I like mine, but wasn't aiming for a strix. Almost ended up w/ a ftw3. Glad i didn't though.

[rustic barn]

just screenshot?

[normal hawk]

e.e i give up

[rustic barn]

what is it

[normal hawk]

That's Asus. Definitely not a premium product lol

[ivory herald]

Cute, lol

[rustic barn]

ya

i want to go with at least duo fan

[ivory herald]

That's 1 fan though. King said strix-like haha

[normal hawk]

Ventus 2x is bad.

I'd suggest 3 fan cause most of the RTX 3000 cards run pretty hot.

Unless you need a smaller one for the case.

[ivory herald]

Bottom intake & 2fan gpu would work good. Tbh haven't shopped various models lately.

[rustic barn]

well for me i would say im planning on using it for like at least 4-5 yrs

[normal hawk]

I have never owned a 2 fan GPU myself. But we do have a gigabyte 1660 super in the house with only 2 fans.

[ivory herald]

Evga 970 was a good 2fan. As said, 30 series runs hotter.

[rustic barn]

gpu take up most of the budget

[normal hawk]

I had the Phoenix fan 2060 at one point though. That was gross. ran really hot. Not that the case was any good for airflow to be fair.

[rustic barn]

shortage :/

[normal hawk]

I did yeet it. Traded it to my brother for his 1660 super that i mentioned. After upgrading to the 2070 super i got used for 400$ including tax.

I get it back when he gets a new Prebuilt. He doesn't want me to build his PC 😭

[rustic barn]

lol

[normal hawk]

He's getting paid pretty well now so he should have a decent budget for a PC when the next GPU's drop.

[wary anvil]

I see nothing wrong with one or two fan for 3060/3060 ti

As long as it's a good cooler and not a shoddy one that ventus usually has

[normal hawk]

Depends on the model yeah

[ivory herald]

Bob, this

[normal hawk]

Ventus 2x and Asus Phoenix fan are for sure a big no no

[wary anvil]

Okay, that's a reasonable life expectancy

[spare relic]

With a super basic OEM/reference blower card, Asus GTX 970, what should I expect for temp improvements from repasting? I don't think it's been repasted, usually gets to 80c or a bit more under full load, blower fan card

[wary anvil]

I'm assuming decent case airflow?

[ivory herald]

5-8C perhaps

[spare relic]

I have 2x p14s in front, one basic tt case fan in back

Computer does need a dusting which should help a tiny bit but it's not desperate for it

[wary anvil]

I'd say it's worth it then. What paste are you planning on using?

[spare relic]

Not sure, I'm not a paste person lol

I'll probably just use what's suggested

[ivory herald]

Then arctic mx2 perhaps haha

[wary anvil]

Nah, that stuff is mid

[ivory herald]

Dang, just bought some

[wary anvil]

It's fine for normal use, but if you're going through the hassle to repaste a card I'd go with the higher end stuff

[normal hawk]

MX-5 any good?

[hollow heath]

You think so?

[ivory herald]

Only way to save much is a used gpu. Save meaning spend less overall perhaps.

[wary anvil]

Used GPU? In this market?

[normal hawk]

970 or a 1060, etc yeah.

Grrr

Fixed it

[ivory herald]

Preferably not a mining gpu though. I'd do it again to step up to a 2080/S/Ti. It's all about overall performance and perf/$. New cards are not priced well these days. I've gotten lucky w/ Ebay though

[wary anvil]

I dunno, even a 1060 is still going for $250+

[spare relic]

970s aren't popular for mining, not much vram so from that angle

I might get kryonaut paste?

[wary anvil]

Kryonaut is good

970 is looking a bit more reasonable

[ivory herald]

Yeah, would've been great to buy a dozen when they were $150ish. Gtx 970 I sold for $160 last year or so.

[hollow heath]

??

[wary anvil]

Looks like there are some more reasonable deals on hardwareswap if you get lucky

[spare relic]

Even my oem 970 is a trooper

[ivory herald]

I meant 660 isnt too crazy, no new cards are very cheap unless they're old/low perf

[spare relic]

Gets the job done

[ivory herald]

I should check that more. Often people don't ship. I might be looking for a decent priced 10/11 gen K series

[normal hawk]

What do you think is a decent price?

[ivory herald]

Idk, aiming for 1 near going price of the 11600K, which is asking quite a bit. Hopefully I can get a new cpu instead of used.

[normal hawk]

I guess if you are pretty far from MC, the 200$ 11600k isn't too tempting. That's what I put in the PC i built my sister with a Mobo i got in a bundle on Newegg.

The CPU was cheaper than the Mobo 😅

[ivory herald]

If only someone could mail me a cpu from MC haha

[normal hawk]

Aorus Pro AX. The one with 4 m.2 slots. Lol.

[spare relic]

If only MC could mail it to you 😠 😠 😠

[ivory herald]

Pretty nice. I bought a mpg gaming force

[ivory herald]

Ikr, that's how they have decent stock & their prices

[normal hawk]

Woah. 12700k is 329

Next PC i want to build for fun will be ITX though so i dunno if i wanna worry about cooling that in a tiny case.

[ivory herald]

I guess i bid on 10gen. No biggie. 3770 is just something to fuss w/ on current pc. K one is twice price.

[ivory herald]

4? Wow. Less cables

[normal hawk]

Depends on the AM5 APU's vs Radeon 6400 when that releases what case imma use. I either want it in a Halo 3 Xbox 360 or Halo Xbox original.

[ivory herald]

Amd is killin it w/ the APU now

[normal hawk]

With GPU = Xbox original. Just Apu = Xbox 360.

Yea.

[ivory herald]

W/ inside so much for winter, thought of a series S. Idk.

[normal hawk]

The series S is pretty cool. It's a glorified Xbox 360 for me though, most of what I have on it are Xbox 360 games that either aren't on PC or don't have controller support on PC.

[ivory herald]

I forget howgoodthe backward compat is. Recall project gotham racing? Those would be fun. Mostly I'd use for Forza Horizon or w/e. At least adding more drive space is ez nowadays. Ssd is awesome too. My One S had a hdd I think.

[normal hawk]

I loved Project Gotham.

[spare relic]

I'm a Gran Turismo 4 scrub

Hearing Project Gotham being name-dropped I kinda want to see if I can find it

And I want to get my GT4 emulated someday

[ivory herald]

My 360 was in storage. PGR 3/4 were a couple of my favorite games for it. M.M. I played ps2 a lot & GT4 quite a bit although NFS Hot Pursuit 2 is about my fav console game. That includes old memories/nostalgia.

[spare relic]

I remember a bit of hp2

I need to get a PC cobbled together that can run it

Hi there is EVGA FTW3 3080Ti for $2099 Canadian reasonable?

[heady turtle]

i think its too much but it sounds about average

[brisk flame]

yeah its a bit much

not terrible tho

[heady turtle]

actually, just converted to usd, thats pretty decent... basically all 3080 tis are priced to high imo but yeah thats decent

[brisk flame]

bro 2100 usd for a 3080ti is absolutely terrible

[heady turtle]

CAD

[brisk flame]

yeah ik

[heady turtle]

so like 1600 usd

[brisk flame]

you said 2100 usd was about average?

i mean maybe in the scapler market

[heady turtle]

no i said 2100 cad is about average, then converted to usd its pretty normal for 3080 ti price

[glossy wigeon]

How much would it be?

[heady turtle]

~250-300

[brisk flame]

oh, you said you just converted to usd like you missed the part where he said canadian

[glossy wigeon]

And… performance?

Compared to the 1560

1660

[brisk flame]

i just got confused

[heady turtle]

ahh thats fair i getcha

[heady turtle]

heres a rough estimate

[glossy wigeon]

Just searched it up

1080 is €600

[heady turtle]

please dont say you used userbenchmark

[heady turtle]

on ebay?

[glossy wigeon]

And 1070 €250

No I just searched it up

And looked at the first 15 that popped up

[heady turtle]

You're not gonna find them new

[glossy wigeon]

Ah ok

[long forge]

Yeah so considering everything is so hard to get… it seems decent but I prefer a 3080

[ivory herald]

Imagine 4digit price, couldn't me unless 500.0, 600.0 :lul:

[lone pond]

Looking to upgrade my Radeon RX 5700 XT at some point in the future does anyone have an recommendations?

[vital oriole]

Don't upgrade yet

Keep that unless ya manage to get a good deal on something like at least 3060ti or 6700XT

[lone pond]

Fair point i didn’t think about

[ivory herald]

3060 ti was originally $400-450 so keep that in mind lol. Currently for new cards, amd has better pricing/value. Nv is better for streaming but probably not tons. Indeed it's wait or get a good deal & sell current gpu sometime before it's worth crashes, but that'll be a solid 6+ months I bet. Gpu prices/supply isn't gonna quickly be fixed.

[quartz gull]

I'm getting tempted with $1000 rtx 3070's again....

[ivory herald]

Yikes. 4 digits should be 80 tier imo. Darn it

[quartz gull]

it's either that or lose 60 more shuffles for a free rtx 2080 super

(friend offered me a free rtx 2080 super if I don't win by my 100th shuffle)

more like a bet

he has won it 7 times now and he's entered only 20 times

it makes me big angy

how is he so lucky it makes me sad

he doesn't even keep the gpus he flips them all!

[ivory herald]

I'm gonna work on just switching up to 2080/S. $200ish out of pocket + current gpu wouldn't be too bad.

[quartz gull]

2080 super is what I"m looking for too rn

but no one has them for a decent price

picked up a $70 gt 1030 2gb yesterday tho

wasn't a bad deal

[stoic blaze]

you guys ever heard of

r a m

[quartz gull]

I have 32 gb of the stuff

[stoic blaze]

thats too much

1gb is enough

[quartz gull]

I use over 25 for some things I do

[stoic blaze]

what

thats far too much

you must be running windows

[quartz gull]

Yeah because I'm not running wine get out of here

[ivory herald]

Better to have too much than not enough. $40ish to double ram isn't much.

[stoic blaze]

too much

who even needs a pc

when you can have

a camera running debian

[ivory herald]

Non sense. Gaming is life

[stoic blaze]

i game on it

running roblox at 60fps

with a 30hz display

[dense reef]

XFX - Speedster QICK319 AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Gaming Graphics Card - Black

hello peps, im in the market for a graphics card, i was wondering if this particular brand is good its also going for $999 on best buy

[vital oriole]

nope

6700xt for 1k is ridiculous

[dense reef]

im not to picky on the price since its basically hard to get anything retail, but is the brand reputation any good, never had XFX

or would you say pre built would be better

[ivory herald]

Xfx has been around for 15+ yrs. 6700 xt should be $850ish or less

Yes, pre builts lately are how people get a decent value & not over pay too much for just a gpu.

[dense reef]

idk what to do honestly, like im staring at a gigabyte RX6700 XT for $959 and idk if i should get it and build my PC up or just wait

or get a pre-built

[ivory herald]

Current gpu? Sure some new cards are fast, but double what mine cost or near 4digits just seems too much. Crappy market

[dense reef]

lol nada, buying the graphics card would be the start

[supple linden]

i like hamsters

anyway

expensive gpus

bad!

stinky!

[supple linden]

no... 6700xt for that price is big oof

[dense reef]

sadly no ones selling MSRP

[supple linden]

i found a few hamsters for msrp

[dense reef]

on?

[supple linden]

petsathome

[dense reef]

bru

[dense reef]

will it be hamster powered or que

[supple linden]

nah i just like hamsters

[dense reef]

well, i didnt see any GPU on sale,

[supple linden]

oh i literally meant hamsters

like

the animal

[dense reef]

lol i know,

they cute doe

[supple linden]

no u 😳

lol jk

[dense reef]

ahahahahahahah

[supple linden]

or am i 🍣

[dense reef]

unless

got me

thinking mad hard

[supple linden]

@dense reef just keep an eye on the amd store

[ivory herald]

[quartz gull]

Someone needs to lock my bank account before I buy a $1000 3070 lol

I'm getting desperate

[ivory herald]

But the cpu gpu model numbers are so similar. 2060 be sad. I hear ya though, want to sell this sometime before value drops a bunch (& upgrade). The m27q is calling my name

[supple linden]

ur selling ur 1080?

damn what a nerd!

i cant believe ur getting rid of ur strix card 💔

[ivory herald]

Eventually, only for another Strix would be preferred 😉

[supple linden]

GOOD

BOI

[ivory herald]

When 40% fan speed is pretty much the max I need and stay below 70C usually, we know these are good cooolers

Well I thought of trying out the L-shaped Evga power port thing but the ports are flipped so it's unusable.

[quartz gull]

We're running somewhat close gpu wise. I just want a 1080p ultra card again

I've always done 60 > 60 upgrades and selling my old one for like $150ish every 2-3 years

but this generation is completely screwed

[ivory herald]

I might edge you out, but not quite enough for 1440P I bet. Yeah, trading up is tough right now.

[supple linden]

Maybe ur toes are wet for a reason

Wrong chat

[ivory herald]

lmao. Have my old old 660 still & 970 was sold last year for $160.

[quartz gull]

I saw an $800 2080 super today. And have seen a few 3060ti's for $850-900

[supple linden]

@quartz gull a 2060 is fine for all modern games tho

[quartz gull]

I'm literally at 40 fps in some games at highest settings

locking to 30 fps is fine and all but maybe I want 60

[ivory herald]

1440P is quite a bit more demanding than 1080P though. Monitor is usually a longterm purchase, at least for me (so go bigger and be more content)

[supple linden]

Bruh how my brothers 1070 can run all games at max💀

1070ti*

[quartz gull]

like forza horizon 5? that ting melts my gpu

[supple linden]

Idk how max autocorrected to bothers….

People still play forza games? I didn’t even know dat

[ivory herald]

oof. I noticed em too. The Ti is even more. 2080 non-S is more reasonable but obviously less of an upgrade. Depends how much out of pocket after selling current gpu we want to be

[quartz gull]

forza horizon 5 had a bigger launch than halo infinte you know

[supple linden]

So what halo infinite is awful

Change my mind

You can’t

Xd

Atleast forza games are decent xd

[ivory herald]

Fh5 wasnt a big upgrade from FH4 it seems. I'd still play FH4 if I had xbox or felt like installing it from xbox app. I never was big on Halo, but partly because I wasn't that good. Weapon damage and hit feedback was sort of odd.

[little sleet]

time to ban muffin for being a troll

[supple linden]

AYO

I ain’t no trol;-;

[quartz gull]

muffin is being a big troll lol

[supple linden]

@little sleet I’m gonna ban you for being a troll

But like the one who lives under bridges

[little sleet]

take back what you said about halo infinite

[supple linden]

I will never take back what I said

HALO REACH ON TOP

MOFOS

lol

[quartz gull]

Anyways, 2060 aging and it the big old and garbage and should be put into blender

[little sleet]

it was nice knowing you muffin, time for ban

[ivory herald]

That emote always gets me

[little sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-ban-among-us-ban-imposter-ban-gif-18884723

[supple linden]

Pls don’t hurt me

[supple linden]

Is this from Toss the turtle xd?

[quartz gull]

chillen wanna just pull the trigger on a 3070 together lol

[ivory herald]

Find 3fan 2080/S for low enough price, buy, sell 2060 asap.

[quartz gull]

Chillen

[ivory herald]

Could mail it back n forth a week at a time or something lol

Shared custody for a GPU, imagine that.

[quartz gull]

I currently have a 2x ventus. My case muffles so much noise

[supple linden]

I’m pretty sure you can run multiple games off 1 pc with thunderbolt or smth so u could share like a crappy GeForce now xd

[quartz gull]

I literally don't care about the cooling performance atm

I just need it functional

bought this 2x ventus card for $225 2.5 years ago

been serving me well since

[supple linden]

@ivory herald have U seen the 400mm Corsair fan that gamers nexus has lol

[quartz gull]

crazy to think that I've had this card for so long

[supple linden]

It’s not a strix card so it’s now allowed to live

Oh god

It’s 8:30

[vital oriole]

lol

[quartz gull]

I usually upgrade every 2 years for gpu and 4 years for cpu

[supple linden]

Why 4 years for cpu

[ivory herald]

https://tenor.com/view/asus-rog-logo-rog-rgb-gif-17741946

[quartz gull]

cpus progress at snails pace in comparison. I was rocking an 8600k until recently

[supple linden]

Chillen hasn’t upgraded his cpu since the late 90’s 💀

BRO I DIDNT SAY CHICKEN

[quartz gull]

can we call him chicken now

[supple linden]

AUTOCORRECT STOP

[quartz gull]

chicken kinda funny

[supple linden]

Fixed

[quartz gull]

chillen what cpu are you looking at upgrading too eventually?

[supple linden]

10700

I think

I don’t remember I got goldfish brain

[ivory herald]

Most parts I buy are 1+ year after they release. Wish I could remember when I went E8400 to this. The 970 ($160 for me) was no doubt the best buy I can think of, especially since I broke even on it.

[quartz gull]

I saw a used 10700 for $160 yesterday

also a full 10700 prebuilt without gpu for $35-

[supple linden]

I saw a used 11700k +mobo+ram for $200 a few days ago

[quartz gull]

$350*

[supple linden]

Sold very fast tho

[ivory herald]

at least the cpu doesn't have pins to be damaged any more...

[supple linden]

Lol

[quartz gull]

unless you go amd

[ivory herald]

[supple linden]

I purposely bent the pins on my amd phenom ii xd

I was testing strength

Not very strong

[quartz gull]

I'm probably going to sell my 8600k + 32gb ram + mobo for $150 soon

[supple linden]

Screwdriver won the fight

[supple linden]

Ddr4?

[quartz gull]

obviously?

[supple linden]

If it’s decent speeds you can get like 100 alone for it

[quartz gull]

8th gen intel only supports ddr4

[ivory herald]

You know there were $1K versions of the pentium 4 called Extreme Edition.

[quartz gull]

3000 cl16 LOL

[supple linden]

Bruh I’m using ddr4 leave me alone

Ddr3

**

[quartz gull]

you have an 11400...

[supple linden]

Waiting on mobo

[quartz gull]

oh

what're you rocking rn?

[ivory herald]

z77 which I have, or z87 is pretty much the last ddr3 (intel) platform, I think

[supple linden]

I’m using an e3-1270v2 and a 760ti rn xd

[quartz gull]

that's spoopy

[supple linden]

I got a slight upgrade I think

[quartz gull]

nah, maybe like 5%

won't notice it at all

[supple linden]

Yup

It has so many vram issues it’s slowly killing itself lol

[ivory herald]

You only went from 1GB ram to 8GB. weak.

[quartz gull]

Everyone told me that the 8600k to 12600k was wasteful but I can actually feel a difference

[supple linden]

It’s 2 but I can only use 1.4 xd

[supple linden]

I mean it kinda is for gaming but yeah there is a difference

[ivory herald]

7 to 8 gen was a fairly big upgrade, then things have been small increases , at least regarding IPC (per core).

[supple linden]

I mean if U have the money ain’t no one gonna stop u xd

[quartz gull]

uhm many games were maxing my cpu lol

[supple linden]

Unless ur kenzie

[quartz gull]

6 threads is kinda bleh for a lot of games

[supple linden]

I’m using 4c4t rn xd

[quartz gull]

8700k aged a lot better

[supple linden]

Idek how much my new cpu got, i didn’t even check before buying it xd

[quartz gull]

just my 1% low improvements blow my mind

I didn't realize how used to stutters I was

faster ram and faster cpu with more threads and it feels weird

like turning camera in some games feels wrong now because I don't feel the freeze

[supple linden]

@ivory herald my cpu is stock 2.4ghz but u better believe that thing is going to 10

Jk obviously

I ain’t got no superchiller in my room

My eyes are in pain

[quartz gull]

What if nvidia doesn't even launch 4000 series

I don't think they even have to at this point

[ivory herald]

had the 2060 w/ 8600? In-game benchmarks before and after upgrade would be neat. if only I had every gen to test actual cpu-bottlenek-ness

[quartz gull]

I mean the averages are similar

[supple linden]

Literally no game needs that much gpu power xd

[supple linden]

🍣

[quartz gull]

by my 1% lows improved by up to 50% in some cases

being cpu bound versus gpu bound feels so different

[supple linden]

I can’t even look at my minecraft cat without dying atm

Cus like

I load into minecraft

And I’ve already used 98% ram

Lol

[quartz gull]

Turning the camera in minecraft doesn't drop cause weird frametimes aymore

but that could've also been the jump from 3000mhz to 4000mhz ram

[ivory herald]

I'm glad i tried apex legends because it's the 1st game I have that really stresses this cpu. It's enlightening watching the cpu usage stick at 100% certain times.

[quartz gull]

oh just wait until you try a cod or a battlefield title

I remember when I booted modern warfare 2 years ago and went

[supple linden]

Did u buy 4000mhz or oc a kit?

[quartz gull]

ITS MAXING MY 8600k?!

downclock a kit actually

[supple linden]

Why doe

[quartz gull]

I bought viper 4400mhz 8x4 for $100

so $25 a stick

[supple linden]

cl19 has entered the chat

Lol

[quartz gull]

my memory controller literally can't handle 4 sticks

I'm running at 4000mhz cl16 atm

[ivory herald]

nah I've played MW2 and all previous similar ones

[quartz gull]

I meant

the reboot

the modern warfare that released 2 years ago silly

[supple linden]

Fun fact I’m in bed rn

Dying

Of idiocy

[quartz gull]

I spent 2 days trying to get 4400mhz to boot but it would only do it for 2 sticks

I'm in bed on my tablet with a keyboard rn

[supple linden]

I really cannot be bothered for Christmas tonight

Today

Same thing

[quartz gull]

wait perfect excuse

this $2000 3080ti I'm looking at can be a christmas present to myself

[supple linden]

You can get some 3090 for that price xd

Jk

Snort jeff bezos ball hair maybe he’ll just give u one

Worked for me

[quartz gull]

I want a 3090 for the vram

[supple linden]

Who needs 24gb of vram xd

[quartz gull]

I want 4096 x 4096 textures in minecraft

uses 20gb of vram at 1080p 6 chunks

[supple linden]

Do it at 4&

4k*

Prolly - FPS

1

[quartz gull]

what's funny is even at 4k you can't even see every pixel of the textures

[ivory herald]

3080ti/3090 need some strong PSUs . no budget, 3080 non-ti is probably my pick actually

[quartz gull]

I am planning on buying a 1200 watt psu eventually

one with a 10 year warranty

And never touching the damn thing ever again

[supple linden]

Ima get 2-3 hours of eye close (not sleep) cus my brain is hurting

[ivory herald]

oh yeah. multi core left, single core right. Couple new laptop cpus have badass single core performance.

[supple linden]

Bai creatures of the internet

[quartz gull]

I thought 650 watts would be enough forever but noooooo

my cpu has to pull almost 200 watts at peak

[ivory herald]

heck ya. dual eps would be a good idea. My current psu (G3) doesnt have, but "spare" G+ does.

[quartz gull]

With my clocks rn (limited by thermals) I get 18.2k on cinbench multicore

[ivory herald]

6 times my score w/ 2.5 times the cores, that's an upgrade

[quartz gull]

oh chillen so windows 11 scheduler breaks sometimes

and just uses my ecores until I restart

so I tried playing games on it

it's basically an i5 6400

that's added to an 11600k

[ivory herald]

ew. I'm good w/ Win10 for now. Still deciding on which start menu to use though.

[quartz gull]

It still plays games decent on just the ecores

I think ecore only I'm still faster than your cpu

[ivory herald]

Probably a bit.

[turbid stream]

hi is an i5 10400f good with 1060 6gb asus?

[quartz gull]

Overkill

[ivory herald]

it's a fine pair though. Zero cpu bottleneck isn't a bad thing, lol.

[quartz gull]

I think he/she was talking about bottleneck but idk

10400f is one of the best budget cpus

especially when microcenter discounts them to $110

[turbid stream]

holy 110

[ivory herald]

MC is 7 hours 1 way!!!

[quartz gull]

Yeah. The denver microcenter did a $110 sale

didn't get it though

[turbid stream]

is 3200mhz 16gb ram enough?

[ivory herald]

C16?

[quartz gull]

I got the $70 10100f instead

$70 for a 4c/8t cpu was decent. I threw in a 960 into the build, called it an esports rig, and gave it to a coworker

[quartz gull]

to my knowledge, it depends on the board. not all boards can use that speed for 10th gen

[turbid stream]

b560 pro 4

[quartz gull]

it only supports 2666mhz on b460 I believe

[turbid stream]

asrock

[quartz gull]

ah b560 is fine

b560 allows memory overclocking

[turbid stream]

is it max 3200 on 560?

b560

[quartz gull]

nah

I think you can overclock as high as the memory controller will let you

[quartz gull]

I was about to say

up to 4800mhz

keep in mind the memory controller on most boards will probably explode if you attempt that

[ivory herald]

Apparently mobo isn't really a ram speed restriction, per se. Price perhaps is

[quartz gull]

my 12600k + z690 can't even do 4400mhz quad dimms

also 10th gen runs in gear 1 so I don't think you're getting over 3600 anyways

[ivory herald]

So w/ 10th gen Tulip, you'd say 3600Mhz and just as lower CL as possible?

[quartz gull]

yeah

unless you're willing to do memory controller nonsense

like overclocking the imc frequency and stuff to match higher ram

[ivory herald]

The faster ram is priced much higher anyways. PLus, we've seen 3600+ ram only does so much for general performance.

[quartz gull]

depends if your cpu can be fed from it

[ivory herald]

3200 CL16 or 3600 CL16 could be a good pick. Prices vary though

[quartz gull]

like some games that are more cpu bound can use ddr5 6000 to its full extent

[ivory herald]

Use? Idk, a few reviews lately show ddr5 barely passing certain ddr4 kits. I'll have to double check how old the reviews are.

[quartz gull]

I think hitman 3 was one of them

I think there was like a 15-20% gain, it was really strange how much so games gobble it upp

Eh. ddr4 4000 is going to be more than enough for me on alderlake

It's close to base ddr5 spec

also I hate that people compare latency for ddr5 to ddr4

ddr5 has split banks so it can access 2 streams of data at once

which basically makes it like comparing clockspeeds between generations

[ivory herald]

anandtech used DDR4-3200 CL22
DDR5-4800B CL40 for the 12900 testing

[quartz gull]

ah base ddr5 is a bad test case

that's like doing base ddr4 2400

[ivory herald]

indeed. yeah, sort of reminds me about ddr1 to ddr2 or something like where stated latency might be the same but bandwidth is doubled,

[quartz gull]

Actually lets go look at real latency times really fast

I'm curious

[ivory herald]

cool. also see w/ their crappy ddr5: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17047/the-intel-12th-gen-core-i912900k-review-hybrid-performance-brings-hybrid-complexity/13

[quartz gull]

first word ddr4 3200 cl16 is 10 ns

lets see ddr5

ah 16ns for cl40

there is a bit more latency for base spec

[ivory herald]

Here the ddr5 setup at least matched in every game, some it was a bit better even w/ the poor timings. even FPS seems like games that don't use the extra bandwidth.

[quartz gull]

ah good ddr5 kit

6000 cl36 is 12ns

that's pretty close to ddr4 3200 cl16

which is 10ns

latency isn't that far off as ddr5 progresses, even if the cas latency terrifies people

[ivory herald]

Yeahthat's the funny thing. Close actual latency, but still get that much higher bandwidth which seems quite helpful in numerous things

[quartz gull]

much higher bandwidth depends if the cpu is bound by it

alderlake is hit or miss, not powerful enough to be bound by it

it's like how 6th gen intel was fine on ddr3 1600

[ivory herald]

plus, anand used CL22 ddr4...

[quartz gull]

cl22?!

wtf that's over jdec spec??

[ivory herald]

It's bad when their ddr4 has worse latency than my plain old 1866 at CL10. (I assume)

[quartz gull]

way worse

and they're using jdec 4800??

jedec*

that's gross

[ivory herald]

[quartz gull]

Realistically if you're buying a ddr5 12th gen board

you're buying good memory

you're not buying a ddr5 board to put crappy ram in it I don't think

[ivory herald]

That was Nov 4th btw. With ddr5 prices, I'd for sure get a ddr4 mobo like you did

[quartz gull]

Why would you spend $200+ for a z690 board

probably $400+ for an i7+ cpu

and cheap out on ddr5

[heady turtle]

3200cl22 is jedec

[quartz gull]

wait is it really?

there's no way it's that high

[heady turtle]

Yep

[quartz gull]

that's ridiculous

[ivory herald]

oh it is, they mentioned it haha

[quartz gull]

That's ABSURD

[ivory herald]

isnt jedec meant for super compatibility, mostly?

[heady turtle]

More super reliability

[ivory herald]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

not arguing, just sort of a fitting gif. Edit. "morning" pato. afternoon?

[quartz gull]

Do you guys think in 5 years the 3050/ti will feel like that gtx 1050 2gb? useless due to vram limitations?

[heady turtle]

No idea

[quartz gull]

Like a 2gb card can't even run games at low 1080p anymore

[ivory herald]

uhh, is it 4GB? well yeah, perhaps.

[quartz gull]

laptop variant is

we presumably know the final bus width of the desktop 3050. It has to be 4 or 8gb

like how the 3060 had to be 6 or 12

[ivory herald]

Many modern games sure are demanding. Pushes more gpu sales also. If only we still needed just a Crysis-level PC

[quartz gull]

they may push it for 8GB ig

I don't see them launching a desktop 4gb card do you?

[ivory herald]

no, not anymore besides a 3040 or something

[quartz gull]

They'll probably pull a 3060 move then

where they planned on 6, realized that would get them destroyed PR wise and slapped 2Gb chips in there instead to give it 12

[ivory herald]

idk how cheap Vram actually is. They could just do a 6/8GB min on everything incl the lowest models

[quartz gull]

well the problem is the bus width kinda determines how many chips there has to be

like the 2060/3060 HAS to have 6 chips

[ivory herald]

True. things got funky w/ the 1060.

[quartz gull]

so they just use 2gb chips and bam

12gb instead

if nvidia launches 4gb versions though

they'll be available closer to msrp

4gb is too little to mine crypto off of

[ivory herald]

4gb really would be plenty for certain models, but price better correspond. Enough of this $500+ bs & no cheap cards

[quartz gull]

it's like how the rx 580 4gb sells for $100-150 less than the 8gb model rn

because the second one you can mine with

Honestly I hope intel has some really good 75 watt cards

the 1650 is getting older

I need cards I can slap into an optiplex a

[ivory herald]

Noticed the sort of wattage war? but not towards no power port, instead we've got 300-400w cards. tbh part of why I like the 2080 or similar is seeing how much performance we can keep getting at 200ish watts. my 1080 only hit 200w when oc'd a bit. It's normally 150-160 ingame, even at 1900Mhz

[quartz gull]

2080ti I can run on my current PSU

that's why I got a 650 watt psu

i5 + high end gpu would never surpass it I thought

[ivory herald]

good to know. same

[quartz gull]

BUT NUH

i5 have to be pulling 9900k amounts of wattage now

3090 be pulling like 350 watts

[ivory herald]

well those 12 gens can pump out power when the turbo/clock is upped so much

[quartz gull]

yeah 250 watts on a 2080ti...

[ivory herald]

techpowerup used

[quartz gull]

THAT IS A REASONABLE KIT

like no more ddr5 4800

[ivory herald]

literally same day as anandtech review for the 12900, wtf

[quartz gull]

you don't see me using ddr4 2400 too bench ryzen lol

yeah ddr5 6000 was out on launch day...

[ivory herald]

LuL. all dem ports

[quartz gull]

So I been thinking of this april fools video

from earlier this year

and realizing it's closer and closer to being true

[ivory herald]

and they used CL 16 3600 also

[quartz gull]

the 4090 had a PC power plug with the video outs so you didn't need a power supply for it

because it had to pull 1000 watts

[ivory herald]

4090? also: woo, good thing I only game. I'd wish I went 12gen.

[quartz gull]

https://youtu.be/0frNP0qzxQc

Yeah 12th gen made me pull a cpu upgrade trigger

watch that video it's really funny

[ivory herald]

blender: 700 barely beats ya

[quartz gull]

the end of the vid made me crack up laughing

[ivory herald]

oh, literally april fools haha.

[quartz gull]

yeah

when they showed the 4090ti I laugh so hard

I wasn't expecting it

[ivory herald]

The fan setup man. People here mentioned 4 fan cards. 3fan seems like pretty much the best for now though.

umm, where's the mobo?

sucked in the pepsi can....

[quartz gull]

I love how he designed the board for the teardown to literally have the built in PSU

[ivory herald]

well tthen

[quartz gull]

[vital oriole]

ddr5 2400

[prisma cradle]

hm wonder how that compares to ddr4 3600

[vital oriole]

way slower

latency is much worse right off the batt

heck it's not better than ddr4 2400 lol

[prisma cradle]

wait is there a ddr5 sodim ram yet?

[vital oriole]

no

[magic wing]

No

[vital oriole]

I think my new 3060 pre built is broken

[heady turtle]

What makes you think that?

[snow fox]

When I turn on the computer it bugs out and then turns off

[heady turtle]

In what way does it bug out?

[snow fox]

The screen gets covered in lines and boxes

[heady turtle]

Only when you shutdown?

[rustic pulsar]

Reinstall drivers?

[snow fox]

I can’t even get to windows

[rustic pulsar]

Maybe its not fully in the pcie slot

[snow fox]

I checked that already

[rustic pulsar]

What prebuilt is it, also have u tried taking the gpu out and putting it back in?

[snow fox]

It’s from abs and has a white 3 fan rtx 3060 with a ryzen 5 5600x and 16 gb of ram

[rustic pulsar]

Can u link it and answer the second part of my previous question please

[snow fox]

Ok

https://www.newegg.ca/abs-ala269/p/N82E16883360203?item=N82E16883360203

I tried taking the gpu in and out

[supple linden]

Try a different display cable

[snow fox]

I did

[supple linden]

Reseat ram for the lols

[rustic pulsar]

If u have another gpu try to put it in see if it works

[supple linden]

Also try putting the card in a lower slot just in case, may aswell try

[snow fox]

I don’t have another gpu and the there is only one slot on the motherboard

[heady turtle]

Make sure the power connecters are in properly, clear cmos and reseat ram if you cannot eve get into bios

[snow fox]

Ok

[supple linden]

Clearing cmos isn’t just taking the battery out*

[rustic pulsar]

Push the power connectors in you should hear a click

[supple linden]

Just saying cus alot of people just take it out and say they cleared it

[heady turtle]

Take the battery out and unplug pc from wall

[supple linden]

And short the pins

They’re somewhere on ur mobo 😳

[heady turtle]

Or*

Uh what Newegg?

This is some sorta joke right?

[bronze tundra]

no

[normal hawk]

MSI raised the price of their 3090 again? 🤣

[bronze tundra]

yer

[toxic sinew]

That is exactly scalper pricing

awesome

[lone pond]

still waiting for the day a mf can get a gpu at msrp but it’s so far fetched now

[fossil talon]

Wait til 4000 series lol

[ivory herald]

Things won't change much. Miners don't sell cards much, but there might be 10/20 series owners upgrading.

[lone pond]

3050

[ivory herald]

2fan when 3 would fit, bruh, lol. 3050 or 3040 really makes me think of the 1050 or 1650 w/ how 50 series and below compares to 60 series and up.

[keen nacelle]

its supposed to be a low profile card

[lean trout]

can someone help me

[keen nacelle]

with what

[lean trout]

games keep crashing
and my pc keeps crashing
my graphics drivers keep crashing
ive uninstalled and reinstalled them
and it didnt fix anything

[keen nacelle]

what gpu

[lean trout]

and i need help

3060ti

[keen nacelle]

have you tried a previous verson of drivers?

also is your pc blue screening?

[lean trout]

no, would that help though?

[keen nacelle]

or just randomly shutting off

[keen nacelle]

it could, depending on whats causing the issue

[lean trout]

no, when

I play a game for a few minutes, then the graphics glitch and rainbow color dots flash, then the PC shuts down.

so its not blue screening

[keen nacelle]

have you overclocked at all?

are temps fine?

[lean trout]

i dont think so

[keen nacelle]

sounds like it could be an issue with the memory

maybe a faulty module or smthn

you could RMA it

id reccomend trying previous drivers tho

[lean trout]

should i get new ram then?

[keen nacelle]

no like

gpu memory
