[lean trout]

i have some crappy oloy 3000mhz ram

[keen nacelle]

wait

is it a pre built?

[lean trout]

yeah

[keen nacelle]

does it happen to be by skytech?

[lean trout]

nah

abs

[keen nacelle]

ok thats good

[lean trout]

also here are the temps

wait

i cant post images

[keen nacelle]

too low lvl

[lean trout]

😔

[ivory herald]

You can try to dm a screenshot

[lean trout]

whats rma

[lean trout]

kk

[keen nacelle]

where you send it back and get it replaced

[lean trout]

cant really do that

its an open box sooo

[keen nacelle]

you can still rma it

[lean trout]

how?

[keen nacelle]

contact the seller

(abs in this case) via where you bought it

[lean trout]

i got it from newegg

[burnt zodiac]

anyone know how i can fix low gpu usage? Both my 6700xt and 5800x uses like 60% usage on Rust

[livid idol]

What's your peak single core cpu usage? I'm guessing you've got at least one core 100% and that's the issue

[granite orbit]

guys whats cheap and good 30 series graphic card?? 😐

[burnt zodiac]

yea i just checked ryzen master i got like 2 cores at top speed and the rest are mid-low

how can i fix this/

[heady turtle]

whats youre definition of cheap

[granite orbit]

under $500 😄

[heady turtle]

3060 /3060 ti/3070 if youre lucky

[granite orbit]

does it matter which Processor im using ?

[livid idol]

Overclock the cpu using precision boost overdrive. You can just enable it and let the motherboard handle it to start.

[heady turtle]

eh not ew really

[granite orbit]

thank you ^^

[livid idol]

As long as it's something midrange from the last 3-4 years or so it should keep up

[heady turtle]

np

[burnt zodiac]

ryzen master is fine right to enable PBO

[livid idol]

Yeah that'll work

If it gets too hot you can set a negative offset voltage in bios and it should still go full boost with less heat and power use

[burnt zodiac]

[hollow quest]

no such thing as cheap right now

im looking to upgrade but dont want to break bank

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3090-rtx-3090-ventus-3x-24g-oc/p/N82E16814137596

3000$. Not 3rd party sellers 🤣

[livid idol]

Ventus too 🤡

[normal hawk]

Ye lmao

[hollow quest]

my 1060 6gb will just have to get me through a few more months hopefully market settles soon

[keen nacelle]

most likely the earliest it will end is q4 2022

and thats the earliest, could very likely be later

only thing i see that might quell the prices a bit is 6000 series apus, which are leaked to perform low 16 series area, which might lower demand for gpus if people see a cheaper option. well have to see though

and that still wont mean you can get msrp

just a bit more reasonable

[livid idol]

Scalpers gonna hit those hard

[hollow quest]

ive been waiting for 1080 founders edition from best buy 6 months by the time i get notification that in stock its gone ive gave up at this point ive saved for a 2060 but i refuse to pay over msrp

[keen nacelle]

yeah hopefully the stock is decent

im hoping to upgrade my SOs pc with it

but also depends on pricing

theyre currently rocking a 3400g on an a320 or whatever the board series is

[ivory herald]

Cheap or good, pick 1

[keen nacelle]

it depends on pricing for 6000 series

and stock

if its getting scalped shell have to wairt

[ivory herald]

That was mainly aimed at "cheap good 30 series".

[keen nacelle]

ah

i thought you were saying that to me

[late haven]

Whats the best possible vbios i could use on my trinity 3080?

[livid idol]

LHR or not?

[late haven]

Lhr

I heard some galax bios’s were pretty good

I aint minin on it

[ember imp]

Trying to find a used graphic card for my brother. What would be the most y’all would pay for a 1070, 1080 and 1080ti?

[late haven]

$375 for 1070

[cerulean rover]

on the optimistic end, smth like 350$, 450$, 550$, but realistically, nudge that up another hundred

[late haven]

Oop

[cerulean rover]

1080 is around a 3060, 1080ti bit below 3060ti

[late haven]

$600 for a 1080 ti still seems pretty good

[keen nacelle]

is it?

3060 ti-2080s i thought 1080 ti performed same as a 2070s without dlss or rtx

[ember imp]

Alr. I’ll keep these prices in mind thanks. This was meant to be a Christmas present, but gpu apocalypse made it near impossible

[lone pond]

when's the next restock on 3060ti

[cerulean rover]

Yes, but that's also the problem with doing comparisons with approximations

1080ti is still a bit below 3060ti

[past sierra]

2060 for 617 decent?

[keen nacelle]

what currency

[past sierra]

USD

[keen nacelle]

hell no

check r/hardwareswap

thats 2070s/3060 pricing

[ivory herald]

$360ish 70, $500 incl tax for 1080 & $600ish for 1080 Ti. Ti isn't great on wattage but close to the 2080 in performance, or close enough anyways.

[ivory herald]

Indeed. people need to swap 2 cards in the same rig for a decent gpu comparison. Then there's how reviews might use different drivers, cpus, or other variations.

[past sierra]

Where y’all be finding good priced cards

[keen nacelle]

r/hardwareswap

[ivory herald]

Carefully, but Ebay for me. (back in June) It was $491 after tax.

[past sierra]

hardwareswap is mostly local and no one lives in vegas😢

[ivory herald]

Local only drastically cuts options for some of us definitely. If something like Ebay, good seller rep usually says a lot.

[past sierra]

Ok I’ll keep that in mind and I should use PayPal just in case correct!

?*

[ivory herald]

Sure. I use Paypal quite often, also for some other websites. I even recently tested out their "pay in 4" deal to do 4 payments stretched out a bit w/ no interest.

[little sleet]

paypal is also good because if something were to happen lets say the seller scams you, paypal will refund you your money so long as you can show proof and stuff

same goes with ebay i believe

[past sierra]

How much should I pay for a 2060

I see 550 free shipping

[ivory herald]

Similar to a 1070, so I'd do maybe $450 absolute max. ray tracing isn't all that good in some of the lower 20 series to pay extra for.

[past sierra]

450? That’s going to be impossible to find🙁

[ivory herald]

500? 20 series might be newer but if it's used & not"new in box", I don't get why they're often much more than similar performance older cards. Hang on I'll check a bit

[past sierra]

Ok thank you

[ivory herald]

USA, right?

[past sierra]

Yep

[ivory herald]

idk if Ebay links allowed so here's a pic of a quick example for 1070. Not even the lowest price

[magic wing]

Ebay links are ok

[ivory herald]

Cool, not like we can find many sub-$500 gpus on amazon or NE anyways huh

[past sierra]

So just bid on it?

[ivory herald]

All the blue buttons are filters I set, as example. Check seller feedback. 100% is best and make sure not a super new account. Seeing a few recent sells w/ positive feedback is good as well

[past sierra]

Okay and what does a 1070 compare to

Thank you btw

[ivory herald]

Really close to 2060. Ebay, also search gtx 1080, rtx 2070, rtx 2080 and set some filters how you like. You might get lucky and see a much better value. That's why I skipped the 1070 myself. W/o filters, it's possible to end up on an item from another country haha. I think the name would be italicized

[past sierra]

Oh ok thank you appreciate it very much

[magic wing]

Look at a gtx 980/980ti too

About a 2060 in perf as well

Might get a good deal on em

[past sierra]

Pretty much 500 usd for a 1080 founder edition

@magic wing is 220 good for 980

[magic wing]

Yeah

It is

[past sierra]

Really? seems very cheap is it a good upgrade from a rx 570

[ivory herald]

I think so if 980 at least = 1060 because here's an example. Wow, 570 launch price was only $170. That's awesome

[quartz gull]

Check local listings, some people have sold 980's for about $150 over where I live on Facebook marketplace

[quartz gull]

Newegg allows links to eBay, Amazon, best buy, etc. on the discord. Just reputable sellers though

[wet wyvern]

whats the use?

[past sierra]

Rust mainly and valorant trying to find something that will run med to high settings and can’t find nothing reasonable

I looked up the hierarchy and I seen it’s not good

[wet wyvern]

yeah.. i think the minimum is 1050 ti? ive seen thrown around these days

[past sierra]

Oh ok

[wet wyvern]

are you trying to do a scratch build or upgrade a current build?

[past sierra]

I have been upgrading my low end build got a ryzen 5 5600x on a b550 msi a pro mobo

I have been looking for probably weeks now no luck

[supple linden]

the 1070 i have rn can run literally every game i have on max everything at 100+ fps

and thats with 8gb of ddr3 and a e3-1270v2

[past sierra]

What games do you play

I don’t know if that will handle rust like that

[supple linden]

rust,valorant (which gets like 200+ fps), apex which gets 160+

[supple linden]

it does

[past sierra]

Really

[supple linden]

i was playing it earlier

[past sierra]

How much would that be

[supple linden]

the price?

[past sierra]

I’m looking rn 1 sec

[supple linden]

i got mine for 300 but idk how much they cost normally cus i got a good price

well 350 if you include shipping

[past sierra]

eBay it’s looking around 450

[supple linden]

check fb marketplace aswell

thats where i was gonna get mine originally

[past sierra]

For a ti and ok

Looks about the same price but no bidding thanks muffin that will help a lot

Thought I had to get a 30 series for that

[supple linden]

no problemo

[past sierra]

Wait @supple linden do you have a ti?

[supple linden]

look at my name and ask that again

😳

lol

[past sierra]

Ohhh

Is strix like the type

So urs is overclocked or something

[supple linden]

no but i probably will when its in my new system

waiting on my mobo

[past sierra]

Ohhh nice I see you

[supple linden]

yes strix is the model

asus rog strix 1070

[ivory herald]

Strix is just a higher-end asus branding. These models have 1 of the best/quietest coolers.

[supple linden]

they dont have 1 they have 3 >:((

jk ik what u mean

xd

[ivory herald]

People don't be afraid to get certain 3-4 yr old GPUs. This & the 8 yr old cpu beats 35% of 3dmark results.
sips did 8296 on the 2060 KO. With +60/200 I got really close w/ 8233 so far. I got the record w/ this specific cpu/gpu combo lol. (That 1080 SLI result only seems about 60% faster as usual) 🤷‍♂️ edit: lil 6pin is close to it's max

[heady turtle]

tbf overall isnt a very good metric, better off comparing just cpu score and just gpu score

also filter by 1 gpu so you avoid the people using 2

[ivory herald]

yep. most people w/ a 1080 probably have a 7-9gen. good tip on the filter.

[ivory herald]

761K gtx1080 results. interesting. 1st place gfx score is 14k and 2nd place is 10k so that's funky. Comparing to the lowest 4 of top 100 is cool

[magic wing]

Make sure you do leadervbopard and not score explorer as well

[ivory herald]

ah, checking

[magic wing]

Oterwise ur gonna see a bunch of entries by the same guy

[ivory herald]

like me. yep, unless the extra are deleted

[magic wing]

Leaderboard shows only the best by each user for that card

Or cpu that you compare with

[ivory herald]

also got rid of the funky 14K gfx score result. THat was fun. ah, it's so late.

[normal hawk]

Pato, did you see the new price of the Ventus 3x 3090?

[heady turtle]

ridiculous

[past sierra]

Pato what gpu u got

[heady turtle]

3070

[normal hawk]

🤣 it is indeed ridiculous. Just before Christmas there was a PC on sale with a 3090 in it for like 400$ more.

[heady turtle]

Lol

[normal hawk]

It was skytech though

[past sierra]

425usd for a 1070 ti W or L

[heady turtle]

Ew

Easily a 1080 ti for that price

[past sierra]

@heady turtle those are going for 700

[heady turtle]

?

[past sierra]

1080 tis

[heady turtle]

Filter low to high

[past sierra]

650 best I see

[severe onyx]

xD

is 1080 TI that good or im just still learning

it can't be for 700$

[heady turtle]

its about 3060 level

[severe onyx]

WHAT

RTX 3060 level?

[heady turtle]

mhm

[severe onyx]

or GTX?

[heady turtle]

theres no gtx 3060

[severe onyx]

oh

im still new ;d

isnt rtx 3060 fot like 1200 $ or more?

[heady turtle]

but rtx just their new gtx term really because they can do ray tracing now

god no

its being scalped for like 900

[severe onyx]

okay thanks

what do you think which one is better?

[heady turtle]

3060 vs 1080 ti? about the same

[severe onyx]

ok thanks

[ivory herald]

In between 3060 & 3060 ti. 1080 ti has 11GB vram but not good w/ ray tracing. Still a solid card for $600ish

[past sierra]

Getting a 1080 ti rn on eBay for 530

If is snag this it is my Christmas gift to myself

[ivory herald]

🤘 The way things are, most old/used cards could probably be sold again in 5 months & maybe break even. I personally might lose money, but still cheaper than some evga step up deals. (10/11gen soon so we don't worry about my cpu anymore)

[keen nacelle]

if its the same price for both, id go for 3060, lower power usage, and it has DLSS, which can improve FPS in some games

and rtx capabilities if you end up wanting to use it

[lone pond]

how do i get my gpu fans spinning
its an aorus 3060ti and not sure if it has its own program or sum

[keen nacelle]

they should kick on once it hits a certain temperature

i think like 50 or 55?

[lone pond]

it was spinning b4 without the temp rising

does it have its own software or?

[keen nacelle]

kinda

you can download MSI afterburner if you want to set a custom fan curve or fan settings

but they will kick on by themselves

[keen nacelle]

does changing thermal pads on a 3090 fe void warranty?

[balmy chasm]

Not a computer dude but looking for help. I purchase a Dell 8940 computer with i7- processor (11th Gen) and want to know what kind of reasonably priced Graphics card I can use that supports two monitors. I am NOT a gamer so does not have to be really good. Originally it had a GDDR6, but newegg tells me that only GDDR4 is compatible with i7. any help would be appreciated.

[heady turtle]

It shouldn't

[heady turtle]

Basically everything is compatible, if it fits in the prebuilt but you shouldn't need one, it should have integrated graphics you can use and have either hdmi, display port, vga or dvi on the motherboard

[hollow heath]

You think someone would trade me a 1080 Ti and 300 dollars for me 6700 XT

[keen nacelle]

doubtful

[balmy chasm]

Thanks Pato, It does have integrated video, but seems like only 1 HDMI out, I need to run two monitors

[keen nacelle]

didnt you trade away a 1080 ti and smthn else for your card?

[hollow heath]

I had a 1080 Ti but I bought my 6700 XT and then sold my 1080 Ti

[normal hawk]

Oh, whatever came in the PC is compatible. The I7 doesn't use the gddr6 that the GPU does.

It just means that the CPU and Mobo will use ddr4 memory. Any GPU should really be fine. But since it's a Dell, your power supply might not be strong enough for higher end GPU's, so going with whatever you had would be fine.

Assuming it has the outputs you need of course

[balmy chasm]

It came with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GDDR6 but t hose are expensive, and I am not a Gamer so don't need one as good

[normal hawk]

Ah i see.

Is it just an office computer? Or are you doing any sort of work on it?

[balmy chasm]

I was looking at a MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card GTX 1050 Ti GAMING X 4G

[normal hawk]

Those are overpriced right now. Most gpu's are

[balmy chasm]

jJust using it for homeuse, emails, maybe some embedded vides etc, youtube

[normal hawk]

Ah, I'd get a GT 1030 or wait for the RTX 3050 that's supposed to come out in January i believe. If you could wait that long.

[balmy chasm]

I can wait for sure.

[balmy chasm]

As long as I can get one that is compatible. My PC obviously was OK with a GDDR6 as it came with that, but it should be backwards compatible with a GDDR5??

[normal hawk]

Yes it would be fine.

[keen nacelle]

im so confused by what you mean

any pc works with any gpu as long as the pcie slots are compatible as far as i know

[normal hawk]

They got confused with the ram. Cause the CPU only supports ddr4 but the GPU is gddr6. They aren't a techie.

[keen nacelle]

ahhh

kk

[balmy chasm]

Haha. I bet you are confused. So sorry. Please excuse me as I am a novice trying to pick the brains of experts.

[keen nacelle]

dw about it lmao

ive been confused about a lot of things before to do with pcs

thats how we all learn

[heady turtle]

possibly

[heady turtle]

just get this thenhttps://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-geforce-gt-710-2gb-pci-express-2-0-graphics-card-black/5092306.p?skuId=5092306

[heady turtle]

they dont need to game so gt710 is plenty

[ivory herald]

Gotta love those trade deals

[balmy chasm]

Thanks for understanding. So to be clear, what I am understanding is that the chat people I spoke to at Dell and Newegg were psiible yconfused between GDDR4,5, and 6 and really all that matters is that the slot is compatible. Yes?

[keen nacelle]

yeah

ddr6 isnt a thing and currently only 12th gen intel supports ddr5

[balmy chasm]

Thanks.You and Pato are awesome!!

[keen nacelle]

the g before ddr5/6/4/3 etc i believe stands for graphics

[heady turtle]

no pronlem

[keen nacelle]

pato is great

big brain and very helpful

[normal hawk]

Can the 710 do the monitors they have though?

Or will the end up spending money on adapters.

[past sierra]

Where does a 1070ti land right under 3060?

[keen nacelle]

1070 ti beats 2060

[normal hawk]

Under the 3050 ti.

[keen nacelle]

loses to 2060s i believe

[normal hawk]

Jk

[keen nacelle]

3060 is around 2070

[past sierra]

Oh ok

[heady turtle]

did they say what port they need?

[normal hawk]

I'd expect it to be 2 HDMI's

[balmy chasm]

I can do HDMI, and DVI

[normal hawk]

Oh DVI works on the 710 then yea

[heady turtle]

then youre fine you can use igpu and gpu as well

[balmy chasm]

YESS! I didn't realize that I could use both the integrated as well as the add on. Awesome!

[heady turtle]

no prob

[ivory herald]

almost. I've sort of proven with sips/mushroom that 1080 is the most similar to 2060. Although he was OC'd a lot apparently.

[past sierra]

Do the gpus have to be the same to pair them up

[ivory herald]

SLI? yeah usually.

[past sierra]

I dunno might have to blow up my pc and find out

Jk but do you want a rx 570?

[normal hawk]

No selling GPU's here

[past sierra]

Oh ok

[heady turtle]

Dual gpu is pointless

[past sierra]

Really

Lame

[ivory herald]

It is now, few years ago it might help but always super dependent on the game and drivers. Need a "profile" for stuff. There was a time people would do like 2 x 1060 instead of a single 1080.

[tawny ginkgo]

Been searching forever. Does anyone know any decent places for 3070 ti or a 3080

[livid idol]

We have a buying guide in the pins but it will take some effort still

@tawny ginkgo It's bad all over. If you're in the US you can probably get a 3070ti FE at msrp from best buy when they do an in person drop but you might need to camp a day or two.

[tawny ginkgo]

Thanks! I've got stock drop notifications but my best buy never has any at my location unfortunately. And haven't gotten lucky with the shuffle 6 months in. Trying to hold out cause 3rd party sellers are sketchy

[livid idol]

Agreed, third parties are best avoided. If they're not overcharging, they're scamming. It's rare they're actually selling at a decent price.

We're happy to help pick out the scams here too, lots of us are good at it. I'm pretty experienced with ebay.

[tawny ginkgo]

Most of the ones I've seen on eBay are pretty overcharged

I just upgraded my whole PC and I still have my little 1050 stuck in there now

[livid idol]

Only thing to do is not give up. You'll get one eventually. I had to camp at best buy for mine. I got a 3090 from the shuffle too but... it was garbage. Performed worse than a good 3080. I sold it.

[tawny ginkgo]

Yeah I don't plan on giving up. Patience is definitely running out. Don't wanna break and buy from a 3rd party

I saw a site yesterday selling a 3090 for $1200???

[ivory herald]

It's a tough market, and I know many of us don't want to bother w/ used stuf. If you want a decent temp upgrade for a while I'm thinking hunt down a 1080(ti)/2070(S)/2080 etc for $600 absolute max (less w/ old card sold) on Ebay or something, then later maybe lose 10% reselling for the big upgrade.

[livid idol]

100% scam, even for used. The only place you'll see a 3090 for msrp ($1500) is best buy for the founder's edition. Otherwise they're $2200+

[tawny ginkgo]

Oh yeah totally a scam. Never heard of the site in my life

[tawny ginkgo]

Have any of you bought from shopblt?

[ivory herald]

LuL, post from 2014. btw, yeah idk.

[ivory herald]

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/l2pyc7/shop_blt_pc_part_experiences/

[tawny ginkgo]

LOL fair on the name. I checked them out on trust pilot and they seem pretty legit

They have really good pricing but they don't have any ETAs on card drops so I don't know

[paper estuary]

Is there a safe place to propose gpu trading?

[wary anvil]

r/hardwareswap is usually pretty well regulated

[past sierra]

How old is to old for a gpu like when does it start to worsen

[wary anvil]

Pretty much when it can no longer run your games. 1070 ti is still a very respectable card

[keen nacelle]

Afaik 1070 ti can run any game at medium settings, and a lot at high at 1080p

Still a solid card

[supple linden]

it runs every game i play at fully max with 60+ fps, but then again i dont play cybertrash 2077 or any poopee game

[keen nacelle]

Yeah games like the new cods I don't see it hitting max settings

[supple linden]

every new cod that has came out is garbo IMO so idm xd

[past sierra]

True

[supple linden]

had to put imo in caps before someone had a rant at me 😠

lol

[keen nacelle]

Agree

Cold war zombies is decent tho

[supple linden]

havent played anything past fbz

actually i played the one after that once

and got bored

since i literally dont die

[keen nacelle]

Bo3 zombies wirh steam workshop content is amazing

[supple linden]

im too used to getting 2 hit in bo2

[keen nacelle]

Loved it

[supple linden]

not 50 hit >:((

with max armor

[keen nacelle]

Bo3 was my first cod lmao

[supple linden]

i love all the tower maps

[supple linden]

mine was cod 4

i think

[keen nacelle]

In 2019 too

[supple linden]

wait no

i played cod finest hour or whatever its called

[keen nacelle]

My parents wouldn't let me touch any "violent" games before then

[supple linden]

idk if that came out first

[supple linden]

im only 16 😳

lol

[keen nacelle]

Same

[ivory herald]

"max settings" is ego-stroking mostly. It's ironic a lot of pros or general gamers try to get 200+ fps or w/e for their special 900Hz display that they run all Low settings instead. What's the point.

[ivory herald]

It was alright. The start of "full metal jacket" sort of perk to shoot through materials easier should've stayed out.

[wary anvil]

High settings are pretty, they're nice if you play the game for fun and looks. Competitive players need as many and as consistent frames and don't really care if there are pretty particles and fancy textures, so they play on low

[ivory herald]

indeed. There are certain settings in some games that drop FPS quite a bit compared to 1-2 lvls down. Comp or not, I usually do as high settings as I can while getting an absolute min of 60ish FPS. Even at 60Hz, my "drop extra frames" 130 cap setup seems a bit smoother.
----Muffin, pic below shows how/why the Strix is 1 of the best coolers. Direct copper heatpipes to the GPU & the grey strip is on the VRMs.

[supple linden]

Very sexy

[ivory herald]

OH yeah I'm curious what sort of temps you get in games or 3dmark. No rush. My current settings: OC + modern boost only does so much since default average boost is 1980ish & OC might give 2050, but fluctuates game to game. My card also has the 11GHz mem so kind of cheating there haha.

[prisma cradle]

im waiting for an rtx 2030

2345* _ well, did a few 3dmark benches like firestrike normal, extreme, part way through Ultra my power shutoff. Fffffff. It was neat seeing temp/voltage lower w/ the OC than w/o

[lone pond]

I wonder what is the best low profile GPU out there.

[livid idol]

GT1030 iirc

An amd integrated gpu can basically match that now though

[heady turtle]

There's some low profile 1650's iirc

[livid idol]

Sure enough, I see MSI has one

[magic wing]

Take the cooler off any card and you have a low profile one

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/768894333884563496.png?size=48

[livid idol]

Low profile means smaller bracket, not less slot usage

[magic wing]

Fair

[livid idol]

[heady turtle]

That price hurt

[livid idol]

For that top tier model? Nah it's worth at least $600

[lone pond]

oOf

[quartz gull]

I didn't realize how much of the world's mining was Ethereum until now...

95% is a stupid amount, like I can't even comprehend that

Proof of stake is going to cause a huge sell off panic and I don't even know if that'll saturate the demand that's built up

[heady turtle]

Basically because anything with more than 5gb of vram can mine eth and even on lhr cards eth is most profitable with the lhr hack with trex etc

[quartz gull]

Do you think miners will move to something else or cut their losses and sell?

Because that 5% other can't satisfy all miners I don't think

I honestly thought it was like 10% or something, when I saw that report I was like the hecc

[vital oriole]

They will

Likely onto ergo or raven

If eth mining dies that is

[heady turtle]

Well it depends some will probably have enough to keep mining with pos

[quartz gull]

I knew 5+ GB of vram was important since the 4gb 580 sells for $150 less

[vital oriole]

4 gigs cards still mines okay if in a rack

[heady turtle]

Because the dag now requires like 5ish gb

[vital oriole]

but not worth buying tho

[heady turtle]

Yeah but you cant mine eth with

[vital oriole]

like if the miner has 4 gigs 480/580 before

few of em

[quartz gull]

And apparently that's all people mine

I am still blown away by that 95% figure

The fact it's still that profitable after all that, which probably has spiked mining difficulty

[heady turtle]

Eth is a good bit more profitable that's why

[quartz gull]

Holy hecc I just looked at a mining difficulty graph

[heady turtle]

🤷

[quartz gull]

Mining difficulty could go up another 50% and still be stupid profitable

[glossy wigeon]

Anyone know where I can find a mid-range graphics card for sub €350

[heady turtle]

you can try get a rtx 3060/rx 6600/6600xt

Or you can try get like a 1080 or something used

[keen nacelle]

For amazon I'm surprised it's not worse

[keen nacelle]

Ergo or raven will become big to mine, and likely become even more profitable than eth currently is. More people on a coin mean it becomes more profitable

Well

Up to a certain extent

Kinda like how animals have a "carrying capacity"

[zenith shadow]

in serious need of help with seeing whats wrong with my 2080

[keen nacelle]

What's happening

[zenith shadow]

up till about a week ago i was able to run most of my games with no issue at around 60% gpu usage. Now any game i play is using 90%+ causing me to not be able to play some of them with stuttering. I've done some gpu tests on userbenchmark and it still is benching like 129%

but i had never had these issues

its not over heating, but in warzone when I lower the res and everything to where the game says itll use only like 3 gigs of the 8, max the game can use being 6gigs, it uses 100% still

@keen nacelle

[rustic pulsar]

Same games? Have you updated drivers ? have you overclocked?

[zenith shadow]

same games, no oc, updated drivers

no hardware changes, no issues elsewhere

i also have a fps cap in those games now, where as i didnt before.

so it should run better right?

[rustic pulsar]

Kinda, fps cap is only good if you cap it at ur desired refresh rate so u get better frametimes

[zenith shadow]

i did so if anything it lowered my frames i was getting

i use a 144 hz monitor so i capped it there

[rustic pulsar]

If you lower fps cap ur gonna get less fps

Ohh okay that’s good

[zenith shadow]

yeah but that should also lower % usage. I only changed the fps once i stopped being able to play, in hopes of fixing it

[keen nacelle]

Have you downloaded anything odd recently?

[rustic pulsar]

Does task management show what is using the gpu I forget?

[keen nacelle]

With the vram issue it sounds like it could be a crypto hijacker

[keen nacelle]

Technichally but it's very inaccurate often

[rustic pulsar]

What’s ur idle usage @zenith shadow (check in msi afterburner)

[keen nacelle]

Also I doubt warzone only uses 60% of a 2080

Warzone is also terribly optimized

[dreamy dragon]

Pilhas_Boy#3525 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[zenith shadow]

at most I would really only use up to 76% and that is on highest settings with rtx on up to about 3 weeks ago

[rustic pulsar]

Idle usage?

[zenith shadow]

never seen the %'s im getting now, and its happening on multiple games

where would it say an idle usage

[rustic pulsar]

In msi afterburner what’s the gpu usage of you don’t have anything else open

[keen nacelle]

Where are you seeing this

Task manager?

[zenith shadow]

task manager and on the xbox party app thing

[keen nacelle]

Those are very inaccurate

[zenith shadow]

also im still looking woof lol

[keen nacelle]

Thanks autocorrect

[keen nacelle]

Use msi afterburner

[zenith shadow]

3%

idle

[keen nacelle]

[rustic pulsar]

Seems normal thoughts Banda

[keen nacelle]

Tm does not display properly

Use msi afterburner

[zenith shadow]

no

this is on

after

[keen nacelle]

Ah

Yeah thats normal then

[zenith shadow]

ill open warzone

now

[keen nacelle]

Any issues outside of games?

[zenith shadow]

none

[rustic pulsar]

Take gpu out of socket and put it back in idk I’m just trying to think of stuff

[keen nacelle]

Nah

That wouldn't help

[zenith shadow]

im gonna open apex instead

[keen nacelle]

What are your normal Temps when gaming

Also no

[zenith shadow]

rage uninstalled cod

[keen nacelle]

Bruh

[zenith shadow]

never above 71

[keen nacelle]

Apex isn't super heavy on gpu I believe

More heavy on cpu

Wait actually

What's your cpu

[rustic pulsar]

It’s prolly some software so look at recently downloaded and make sure to show hidden files

[keen nacelle]

idts

if it was itd have to be a crypto jacker

[zenith shadow]

31%cpu with apex at main menu

[keen nacelle]

which mis afterburner would display 99-100% usage then

[keen nacelle]

what is your cpu

[zenith shadow]

im running a i9-9900k, just replaced the thermal paste yesterday

[keen nacelle]

and what cpu cooler do you have

[zenith shadow]

m360 plus water

[keen nacelle]

guessing a 360mm aio?

[zenith shadow]

not 100% sure on that

[rustic pulsar]

If cpu was throttling gpu usage would prolly be lower

[keen nacelle]

ill google it

[zenith shadow]

yeah my gpu is whats hitting 100%

[magic wing]

How many fans are on the radiator

[zenith shadow]

3

[magic wing]

What gpu and what cpu

Thats a 360mm

[zenith shadow]

2080 i9-9900k

[magic wing]

Apex?

What settings?

And are you using hwinfo?

[zenith shadow]

90%= on many diff games

[keen nacelle]

was having stuttering issues and vram limits on warzone

[magic wing]

1440p?

[zenith shadow]

1080

so should never

[rustic pulsar]

Have you reinstalled drivers

[zenith shadow]

have these issues

[magic wing]

DDU and reinstall

[zenith shadow]

havent reinstalled but have updated since

[quartz gull]

Task manager doesn't show what's using GPU accurately and hasn't for the past 15+ years.

ight what do i try first

@rustic pulsar @keen nacelle

[rustic pulsar]

is that on afterburner

[keen nacelle]

smthn definitely wrong

apex in game shouldnt use over 70%

and thats a high ball

[zenith shadow]

that is on ab

with apex in back ground its sitting at 20%

at 1080 at the menu

also the voltage hits 1050 mV just at the menu

the clock hits like 1920 MHz also

i just dont get that it can still bench a 129 and cant idle at apex screen without hitting 95%

hits 86% power also

if anyone gets an idea of how to fix, let me know please

[rustic pulsar]

I would try a clean install of windows but that’s a last resort

[candid spindle]

Hello

I'm plaining to buy a new pc very soon and I've been thinking about it, should I get an RTX 3080 with 10GB of VRAM or the RX 6800 XT with 16GB of VRAM?
(ROG STRIX Gaming RTX 3080 V2 10GB GDDR6X), (RX 6800 XT-O16G TUF GAMING HDMI 16G)

There is a difference in prices about 150$ more for the RTX 3080

[heady turtle]

if you dont want to use ray tracing get the cheaper option, they perform about the same in everything but ray tracing, nvidia wins that

[candid spindle]

Yeah and I also want to use CUDA but still there is a good thing about the RX 6800 XT, it has 6GB of VRAM more than the RTX 3080...

[heady turtle]

the vram doesnt really affect performance

[candid spindle]

Yeah but it's good for heavy tasks which is goes well with softwares that uses CUDA

[keen nacelle]

10gb is fine unless you're doing 8k gaming

Even in 4k you'll be fine

If vram measured performance the 1080 ti would beat the 3080

[noble plover]

i'm just watching bestbuy for 3060ti restock

since all 1660 supers have the same amount

if you mean usd its $229

[snow hawk]

Anyone familiar with GPU temps? Just did a build, msi ventus 3x OC 3070ti is 46-50 idle, I read average high idle temp is 45. Should I be worried?

[low niche]

Nope

My gpu runs at 90

C

90c

But it’s a 1050 and in a laptop

[ivory herald]

Mention your desktop gpu temp then

[ivory herald]

Depending on case airflow & gpu fan speed, that idle temp is expected. Load temp is more important. Less than 85C-ish would be decent.

[proud halo]

anybody know of best gpu i can get rn under 300

[ivory herald]

Idk amd stuff, so a 1070 if lucky, or 1660(S) / 1060 (Ti). Gpu market is wack

[supple linden]

you might wanna say what currency, 300 in the uk can get alot more than 300 in the us

[proud halo]

usd

[supple linden]

then yes a 1070 if you can get a good price or 1650/1660

[keen nacelle]

Eh

300 pounds is worth more

Market is worse tho

[supple linden]

yes thats why i said 300 in the uk can get alot more, and no the market isnt worse i can easily find 1070's for 250

its only worse if you dont look properly

🤷‍♂️

[keen nacelle]

In most of Europe it is 100% worse

[supple linden]

also a 1060ti isnt a real thing its just 1060's with varying vram, might wanna state that if someone searches for a 1060ti and goes on a stupid website and gets scammed it wouldnt be fun

[supple linden]

a 980 might be good if you can find one for a decent price

plays most games but obviously not on max graphics

[proud halo]

well short question

[keen nacelle]

980 tis can be found for 300

Fairly often

[proud halo]

could i get anything better than a 570 8gb for 300 usd

[keen nacelle]

And have 1070 perf

[supple linden]

yes 980/980ti's

or 1070's\

[keen nacelle]

570 8gb is around what, 1660 perf?

1650s?

[supple linden]

but like why do you want to upgrade from a card that can run most games anyways?

[keen nacelle]

580 8gb is 1660s perf I know

[proud halo]

fans are buggin out

[supple linden]

replace them then?

[keen nacelle]

Wdym

[proud halo]

lol idk how

[keen nacelle]

What's wrong with the fans

[supple linden]

^

[proud halo]

and plus i want better

because i want 3 monitors

[supple linden]

how are the fans "bugging out"

[keen nacelle]

You will not get much better than that for 300usd

[proud halo]

one of them dies every now and then

[supple linden]

an rx570 can run 4 monitors :/

just one in dvi

[supple linden]

:/

thats a feature in alot of gpus

[keen nacelle]

Your best bet would be increasing budget and goingnfor an msrp 3060/ti from best buy

[proud halo]

what i was thinking

[proud halo]

no.

it like spins up

and dies

its not right

it smells like burning plastic sometimes too

[keen nacelle]

Set a custom fan curve

Lol

[proud halo]

and its shaky when it spins

[supple linden]

bruh, alot of cards dont always have the fans running, they turn off alot when they dont need to be on

[proud halo]

but only one?

[keen nacelle]

That means your fans ran too fast for an extended period of time. Or it could, anywayd

[proud halo]

no

[keen nacelle]

My fans sound shaky if I run them past 85 bc I had them at 90 for too long

(Mining)

[supple linden]

my 1070 cuts off one or two of the fans if its in idle

so yes

it does

[proud halo]

dude its not right

idgaf what yall say

ik its not right

but thank you for the other info

[supple linden]

then dont ask for our advice

[proud halo]

thats not what i asked for help with??

i asked for prices

[keen nacelle]

.

[proud halo]

thank you

❤️

how much do yall think is too much for a 2060?

[supple linden]

anything over 450-500

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n15cgLRkgOo watch this and then think about if you want to spend the extra money

980ti is essentially a 1070 so just keep that in mind*

[proud halo]

whats better than 3060 and cheaper?

if there is anything

keep in mind thats assuming i buy a msrp 3060 at 400 usd

[ivory herald]

Only slight knock against the 980 ti is power usage compared to any 10 series. Nvidia hit a home run the latter.

[supple linden]

what are you doing with the pc? @proud halo

if you're gaming anything over a 3060 is really overkill imo

[proud halo]

normal esports game

[supple linden]

um

like val?

[proud halo]

val

fort

gta isnt esports

but i do play fivem

[supple linden]

well val is more cpu intensive

but yeah

anything over a 3060 for those games

[ivory herald]

Want to know a funny thing, 3060 ti was supposed to be $400ish.

[supple linden]

is a waste

[ivory herald]

Agreed, even 1440P. Although it's not like 1440p by itself adds much visual quality, imo.

[supple linden]

@proud halo all of those games you listed could probably run on a 1060 lol, but i dont recommend buying one of those cards xd

@proud halo dont spend more on a gpu over 3060 for those games, just make sure your monitor is atleast 144hz 🤷‍♂️

unless you find an amazing deal

[proud halo]

can u check #old-monitors-and-tv

pls

[vivid onyx]

From where to buy a 3060 with 400?

Ventus 2x is bad, that's about it

no real blower models for ampere

some of the other 2 fan models can also be bad

1200

[normal hawk]

Tech YouTubers probably won't have benchmarks for 6500xt and 6400 early huh? Gotta wait a few months

[rustic pulsar]

its prolly slightly better then mine (i have an eagle) so idk

plus quieter

[normal hawk]

I dunno how gigabyte's tiering goes.

I know Aorus will be the best. But eagle, gaming, and vision are confusing because I'm pretty sure vision is the most expensive, while also performing slightly worse than the other two

[rustic pulsar]

eagle is the cheapest and the fans look small

Vision is scalped for the lowest Margin having a lower resell value. And eagle is the smallest, but for 3070 ti's there isn't much of a difference between them.

According to versus.com anyways

[rustic pulsar]

idk ill think about it, the card does look really nice tho and i dont mind paying a few bucks for it

(after i sell my old one)

[normal hawk]

Go for it.

Wouldn't it be better to buy first and then sell?

[rustic pulsar]

yeah thats what i do

[normal hawk]

Ah oh good lol

The eagle is the lowest end gigabyte card i think.

[keen nacelle]

Eagle is 2 fan right?

[normal hawk]

Nah 3

[keen nacelle]

Oh?

[normal hawk]

It's what happened to the Windforce basically. But they changed the name or something

[keen nacelle]

Oh right it's only 60 ti and 60 that's two fan

Right?

[normal hawk]

Wait does Gigabyte have 3060's?

[keen nacelle]

Yeah looks like it from Google

[keen nacelle]

Gaming oc pro and eagle I believe

[normal hawk]

Versus.com doesn't have them for comparison

And yeah, the eagle is 2x fans on 3060 ti.

[rustic pulsar]

And bought gamer!

[heady turtle]

It can be either

Depends on gpu

[normal hawk]

Oh, the only 3060 versus.com had for comparison is the Asus Phoenix fan

And the Fe of course

Pato, do you think the 3050 will have an underclocked phoenix fan model to get it under 75W

[keen nacelle]

@heady turtle

[heady turtle]

yeah i saw after.... mobile moment

[normal hawk]

Are there any of those Intel Nuc style mobos with PCIE slots?

[heady turtle]

uhh isnt it supposed to be 75w anyway?

[normal hawk]

No. 90W i believe

[heady turtle]

sad

[normal hawk]

Wait a minute.

The heck is this

[heady turtle]

lol

[normal hawk]

It's an Intel Nuc, not a GPU

[heady turtle]

looks right

[normal hawk]

THATS crayz

Crazy

I want one

[rustic pulsar]

is that a pcie cpu?

[normal hawk]

It's the whole Nuc

That one has a I5 9300H

There's no way!

I found one with a 9980HK :0

I so want one

Not for any specific reason. I just think it's cool.

The I5 was 700$, this one is 1200 😅

[analog wolf]

I got one for 90-120 after msrp

[normal hawk]

It looks like it's supposed to go into the canyon case.

[dreamy dragon]

The Rock#3288 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[white bloom]

is there any way a 3080 ti could out perform a 3090 since less power is diverted to the additional 12gb of vram?

[torn ore]

whats the avg price for a gtx 1080

[heady turtle]

More just card to card/model to model differences

The ram chips dont use that much wattage

[past sierra]

@torn ore I wouldn’t personally pay over 500usd

[heady turtle]

~400$ last i checked

[mint basin]

Are all the underpriced Chinese gpus a scam? Or a mixed bag?

[rustic pulsar]

i want to order one just for the lolz, does newegg have buyer protection?

[mint basin]

Not really, that's why I'm asking here hahaha

There's a 6600xt that i want to replace my gt710 with but man... Scams are really bad for my heart and wallet haha (multiply the cost by 20 and that's how much it costs for me)

[rustic pulsar]

wdym 20x?

[normal hawk]

How are they 20x the cost? what country are you in?

6600xt has a fairly decent amount in stock

usually anyways

Right now there is the: ASrock Challenger Pro (bundle only) 674-689.
Gigabyte Gaming OC (Bundle Only) 662-666
or
XFX Speedster SWFT210 (no bundle) 629

looks like the pricing got worse

[bronze tundra]

if i crash

with taking a gpu out

ima bne

fuming

[mint basin]

In Mexico the cost gets multiplied by 20 because of exchange rate so yeah i'd be paying about 14-16k MXN for a gpu (which is still super overpriced but a 3060TI is about 24-28k MXN here)

[rustic pulsar]

but in theroy, shouldn't u make 20x more then those in the US?

[mint basin]

NOPE xD

[mint basin]

per week a base salary earns you about 1800 MXN currently (about 80-90 USD depending on the exchange house), rent is about 3500-4000 monthyl so yeah, the market's complete garbage

[rustic pulsar]

how is that liveable

how much is a loaf of bread

[mint basin]

A Big Mac costs 64 pesos in Mexico and US$5.65 in the United States. The implied exchange rate is 11.33. The difference between this and the actual exchange rate, 20.14, suggests the Mexican peso is 43.7% undervalued

The big mac index is a real thing

A loaf of Bimbo (THE brand in Mexico) bread is 35 MXN

[rustic pulsar]

ohh okay not terriable for bread

[mint basin]

Yeah, staple foods are ok (but on the rise) but anything other than that is way up there in pricing

[compact panther]

just dont buy big macs in mexico

ez

[compact panther]

or it suggests that mexican big macs are 40% overpriced

probably because american fast food food is seen more as a "novel" or like "weird" food so people are willing to pay more for it

[mint basin]

It suggests that the buying power of the Mx peso is 40% undervalued, so any foreign exchange in USD is 40% overpriced

[mint basin]

Churros are about 35 MXN for 3 hahaha "traditional" foodstuffs are getting more expensive by the day, about 4 years ago they were about 60 MXN for a dozen

But enough of me being poor hahaha too depressing

[normal hawk]

Rommy you looking for a 3090?

[rich cedar]

Aren’t we all though?

[normal hawk]

😂 Do I got a deal for you: https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3090-rtx-3090-ventus-3x-24g-oc/p/N82E16814137596 - 3000$

MSI raised the price.

[rich cedar]

God I wish I had that kinda money

[normal hawk]

NO

BAD

[rich cedar]

What

[normal hawk]

Don't pay more than 2300$ for an RTX 3090

[rich cedar]

I don’t even have 2300 budgeted for a card if I needed one lmao

RX580 gang

[normal hawk]

Fair enough

[rich cedar]

I think my next card will prolly be a 6700XT if prices go down in a few years

[normal hawk]

eh, I'd either spend extra for a 6800xt or go down to a 6600xt. 6700xt is in a super poor price point

[rich cedar]

Interesting

Good to know

Ima be dropping like prolly 200 on a new case and RGB controller here soon prolly

[normal hawk]

200$ on a case for a 580? D:

[rich cedar]

So. Right now I have a toaster oven with 1 exaust fan and that’s it

Temps are like 85 Celsius under load

So yes I need a new case

[normal hawk]

are you in US or Canada?

[rich cedar]

US, I’ve pretty much decided on a P500A RGB from Phanteks

We can go to #cases-psu-and-cooling if you want, just not to clutter this

[mint basin]

GT710 gang

[rich cedar]

I have my GT710 still

Came with the prebuilt

It was, lacking

[mint basin]

Can't even play Risk of Rain 2 on lowest graphgics at 720p :v

[dreamy dragon]

GM 2 Ton Specialist | DaveBeee#7165 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

His

God

The 580 was a massive jump

I don’t regret it

[past sierra]

580 to what

[rich cedar]

710 to 580

[mint basin]

Lol, i want to go straight to a card that'll let me play current games on at least medium and that'll last me at least a few years

[past sierra]

Oh ok yea nice upgrade

[rich cedar]

‘‘Twas just last year

[past sierra]

U tryna upgrade anymore

[rich cedar]

No more potato status

[past sierra]

Or waiting for market to go down

I just upgraded from a 570 it’s nice

[rich cedar]

I mean like I said in Cases and PSU, imma be pulling the trigger on a new case here soon, and hopefully adding an SSD which should move stuff nicely

[past sierra]

Did I see 200 case

[rich cedar]

The P500A RGB, Is like 130 but I’m factoring in the controller and maybe an SSD

[past sierra]

Nice nice how much was ur prebuilt

Like before

[rich cedar]

415 on sale from 525

Way overpriced for what I got

[past sierra]

Really? For a 710 that’s a lot but I’m glad you upgraded I would suggest but only suggest a cheaper case cause 130 still a lot

[rich cedar]

Yeah, so I went from a FX6300 and GT710, 8 gigs of DDR3 to an R5 5600X and RX580 and 16 gigs of DDR4, and a 600 watt PSU

[past sierra]

We got the same cpu it’s a great choice and should run smooth

[rich cedar]

Yeah

I love my 5600X but the prebuilt case is a damn oven

1 exaust fan. That’s it

Nothing else

Besides some RGB

[past sierra]

Lmao

[rich cedar]

Damn thing is an EZ Bake

And running about 85 Celsius under a good load

[past sierra]

Put some cookie dough in there

[rich cedar]

Stock cooler

Yeah no sh!t

[past sierra]

Aio is good my cpu don’t go over 49°c at all

[past sierra]

[timber dragon]

500

[rich cedar]

[rich cedar]

I like my 580 but it’s prolly not on par with that stuff

[timber dragon]

better then mine

[past sierra]

I just moved from 570 and it’s not to close

[timber dragon]

550 blows

[past sierra]

580 is like 1660 performance I believe

[rich cedar]

Yeah I don’t recommend the bottom card in a lineup unless it’s like your very first computer and you need to get your feet in the water

Indeed

I was also looking at 1660s lol

[past sierra]

Yea they aren’t bad

I wouldn’t buy tho

[rich cedar]

Friend had a 580 he really liked so I was like, why not, let’s go all red

[past sierra]

Yessir

[past sierra]
