graphics-cards

[brisk flame]

like a 1080

30 series still demands an unreasonable premium, mostly because of the precedent set by both increased msrp and morons who usually scalp shoes on stockx

the 2060 is seeing a re release with 12gb of vram as well

may be reasonably priced

could possibly get a 980ti as well for well under 450

https://www.ebay.com/itm/384648655148

sheeesh

[steady horizon]

not bad, that sits below a 1070

[brisk flame]

i would wait for the 2060 re release though

we dont know the price yet, but stock is supposed to come in sometime this month

or next

[steady horizon]

google seems to think 363$

that would be crazy though for them to be higher than the 3060

[quartz gull]

I'd go for a 2060 for resale value

[quartz gull]

They're selling it for 3060 price, better at mining at 3060, it's already released but has no MSRP

[brisk flame]

oof i hope thats all just speculation

or do people have the card and have tested it?

we need intel to come in clutch this year

low cost, low power gpus

but make a literal MILLION of them

then nobody would even care to buy any other card from amd or nvidia

just depends on how intel is able to source their parts

[steady horizon]

feels like we should already be there

[brisk flame]

all most gamers need is 1080p60

so give us cards that can do that and nothing more

[normal hawk]

It's so pretty. But it's probably a scam

[brisk flame]

not really

[keen nacelle]

with the eth hack the 3060 is a good bit better than the 2060 im fairly sure

[brisk flame]

its just bidding

listed it 2 hours ago prolly

[quartz gull]

Ebay has the best scammer protection of any selling website tbh

Ebay will almost always (99%) side with the buyer for issues like card not being what it says it is

[normal hawk]

Not really what

[brisk flame]

not a scam

[normal hawk]

Oh true

I think the FE cards look so pretty

[brisk flame]

itll probably get bid up to something ridiculous

[normal hawk]

But I've never had one

[brisk flame]

yee i had a 1080fe for a bit

sold it to a friend when i got my 3080

fe

next i get 5080fe

[normal hawk]

The 20 and 30 series Fe cards look so pretty too

[brisk flame]

nvidia simply makes good looking cards

[normal hawk]

AMD does too

So sleek

[rich cedar]

I was always fascinated by the Vega 56, 64 and the Radeon 7 cards, always kinda wanted one lol

I’ve heard the Vega cards are more for content creation and the Radeon is a 4K monster that competed with the 2080Ti

[vital oriole]

eh

vega cards were kinda meh for even that

but they go nyoom in compute

same for the vii

[rich cedar]

Like normal gaming?

[vital oriole]

yeah

at first like, the vega cards were so bad in gaming

cause of drivers

[rich cedar]

If I was to upgrade in like 6 years I’d be split between a current card or like a Vega lol,

Mm

[vital oriole]

vega 56 was like 1070 perf

when it launched

also amd being amd

sometimes you can make it a 64 by flashing bios

if you have the correct vram

[obsidian whale]

Would you guys agree that the RTX 3000 series is the best there is?

[rich cedar]

I’ve got an RX580 now which is from that era

[vital oriole]

and you're lucky

[obsidian whale]

Having a discussion with some friends

[rich cedar]

@obsidian whale depends on what your doing

[vital oriole]

cause amd just disables the cores to make lower bin stuff

[obsidian whale]

For gaming

[rich cedar]

1080P, 4K?

[vital oriole]

it depends on what you do

[obsidian whale]

1440

[vital oriole]

radeon 6000 is about as good in normal gaming

[rich cedar]

Yeah

[obsidian whale]

How so does it depend? I'm curious

[vital oriole]

well, on your budget, and the deal on the gpu you do get lol

also if you want rt or not

radeon 6000 is meh in rt

and has no dlss

[rich cedar]

A top tier 1080P card is gonna perform different than something designed for 4K

[ashen canyon]

I have a 6700XT and it does good enough

[vital oriole]

6700xt = 3060ti

so ya

[obsidian whale]

Would it work good on a 1440

[rich cedar]

6700XT would be my upgrade choice lol

[vital oriole]

it can easily do 1440p too

but no dlss so a bit of a bummer

then again 3060ti is so hard to get

[obsidian whale]

Ahh

Are all the GTXs really that hard to get?

The 3000 series I mean

[keen nacelle]

at a reasonable price? yes

[rich cedar]

Let’s be honest, nobody these days can really find anything above or afford anything above a 3060TI lel

2000 and 3000 are RTX

[ashen canyon]

I paid 1000 for mine

And another 750 for a 3070

[obsidian whale]

Lol I was going to pull the money for a 3090 but like I can save so much more just getting a 3060ti

[rich cedar]

Ray tracing Is a kinda a toy for the Rich rn imo

[vital oriole]

3000 series is rtx lel

anyhow

[obsidian whale]

Ahh I meant that yeah lol

[vital oriole]

rt is more affordable than ever, well if msrp is even possible

which isn't in this time

[rich cedar]

It’s not

I saw a vid on ray tracing and from a performance and visual perspective it doesn’t look worth it

I think Linus did a vid on it

[keen nacelle]

depends on game

i do not trust linus

at all

[rich cedar]

🧐

[cerulean rover]

Linus is ok, but that's it

RTX depend heavily on the game but you have to see and try it yourself to have your own opinion on it

[rich cedar]

I tend to watch more like Hotnews or whatever

Can’t remember what his second channel is

[ashen canyon]

What do you guys think of jay?

[cerulean rover]

I don't pay attention to linus so dunno

[rich cedar]

Him and Jay are amazing

Jay is just funny

[cerulean rover]

Linus and Jay are channels for entertainment

[rich cedar]

His camera guy has the best laugh lmao

Guy will laugh at anything

[ashen canyon]

Jimmy Fallon of camera men?

[ivory herald]

Really high power usage for what it is. 10 series from 900 series was 1 of the best advancements in both speed & "power" use.

[normal hawk]

I like watching people who do fun builds like Tech by Matt

[quartz gull]

Linus is like a gateway drug into channels like gamers' nexus imo

[lost lava]

if i win newegg shuffle in canada will i get it shipped here

just wondering because shuffle is only an american thing

[cerulean rover]

No

[lost lava]

sad

is there somewhere else that kind of does that type of thing

[tender valley]

can i use the t600 to game and if i can is it any good

[magic wing]

Its decent and you can use it

[tender valley]

ty

[past sierra]

Gpu won’t post but fans spin what it wrong everything is plugged in correct as well

[cosmic bluff]

Try another cable or try another display output on the gpu

[heady turtle]

New pc or working before?

[past sierra]

Working before and I bought a used 1070ti but it won’t work

I plug my 570 in same condition and it works

[heady turtle]

Did you make sure the 1070 ti was working?

[past sierra]

How do I make sure it works

[heady turtle]

Well usually you get them to show you a video or something of it working or you meet them in person with a test bench

But ehh try clear cmos

Make sure all the power connectors are plugged in

[past sierra]

Bought it off eBay and it was shipped but Going to send it back idk faulty card maybe

[heady turtle]

You try this first?

And different cable/port on GPU just in case

But sounds like bad card

[livid idol]

You can have it shipped to someone you trust in the states, then they can ship to you. That's about your only option for shuffle specifically.

[quartz gull]

Does Canada have any import taxes for those kinds of things? If so you may have to pay those too

[normal hawk]

Do you think I could set up a trade of a 5700XT to a RTX 3060/Ti to a crypto miner?

[heady turtle]

Yes

They sell for like 900$

[normal hawk]

I might do that.

[sullen panther]

idk why they would even trade a 3060ti for a 5700xt unless you offer money on top of that

[surreal sequoia]

whats the cheapest place i can find a 2080 for in this market and also how much fps does it run on fortnite and Minecraft

[magic wing]

Why have we been summoned

why ping us

[rancid beacon]

what happened

[magic wing]

someone pinged the OC community for 2080 prices

smh

[frozen egret]

anyone know any good but cheap gpus

[heady turtle]

depends what your definition of cheap is

[normal hawk]

5700XT is better for mining. Hence why I said miner, not gamer.

Lower Wattage Higher hashrate than an LHR 3060 Ti.

50.33 MH/s vs 43.01 MH/s

and 30W less power consumption.

[heady turtle]

~56-58mhs at 90-95w

[sullen panther]

oh yeah i forgot abbout lhr

[crisp ocean]

I’ve been summoned

[heady turtle]

someone pinged hwbot ;-;

[normal hawk]

Whos hwbot

[heady turtle]

https://hwbot.org/

people who do this sometimes

[bleak ingot]

Any 30 series is so hard to find it’s not even funny

[ivory herald]

The overall gpu market, not funny at all.

[static rock]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-12gb-xlr8-gaming-revel-epic-x-rgb-single-fan-graphics-card/6454318.p?skuId=6454318 this has been in stock for a while but it’s a bad deal so no one wants it

[rich cedar]

How’s that third gen Intel treating you @ivory herald

[ivory herald]

Not as good as we'd like, but not as bad as you'd expect.

[rich cedar]

I’m just geneuinely curious as it’s 10 years old

[ivory herald]

The worst part is 60w doesn't heat up my room this time of year

[brisk flame]

no way

[rich cedar]

Lel

Yup

[brisk flame]

9

9 years omg

[rich cedar]

Still

Yeah

[ivory herald]

It beats a few of the builtin cinebench cpus on single core mode, just sayin

[brisk flame]

lol

[rich cedar]

I have a 5600X and RX580 plus Toaster Oven so I get my room a little warm but it’s not really noticeable

@ivory herald 4770K killer? 😂

[ivory herald]

My pc is almost like an ac

[ivory herald]

No, but very close to 4670 or w/e they are. I'm running 4GHz so it's not bad.

[heady turtle]

I mean it's better than scalpers but single fan :/

[rich cedar]

Hopefully my P500A case coming In February will help heat my room better

😂

[ivory herald]

I bought a p400A

[normal hawk]

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-ti-custom-models-to-be-insanely-power-hungry-evgas-kingpin-graphics-card-rumored-to-get-dual-12-pin-connectors/

Wtf lmao

[rich cedar]

Can I bake cookies on it?

[normal hawk]

2x12pin connectors 😭

[ivory herald]

It's like gtx 580/680 all over again, but more power

[rich cedar]

Hold on a second, is that a single fan on that? Christ

[ivory herald]

Aio

[normal hawk]

It's a hybrid. There's also an AIO

[rich cedar]

Oh wow

[ivory herald]

Someone should make a cpu aio w/ small heatsink or hsf built into the water block lol

[normal hawk]

Like the rog Strix hybrid, except the strix has a blower style fan while this one is a regular fan.

[normal hawk]

HSF?

[ivory herald]

Heatsink-Fan

[normal hawk]

Oh

Don't the MSI ones have fans?

[rich cedar]

Oh how did you manage to get ahold of a 3090 btw

[ivory herald]

I'd pick the blower fan hybrid over the evga one tbh

[rich cedar]

Are you like god or something

[heady turtle]

Tbf kingpin has an official bios on 3090 for 500w and an unofficial/unsupported by warranty or something of 1000w

[heady turtle]

Noones uses that abbreviation or calls it that tbh it's just called an air cooler/tower cooler really

[normal hawk]

Nevermind it doesn't

[heady turtle]

Huh?

[normal hawk]

Mine was in stock on Newegg in a bundle.

[rich cedar]

Also am I the only guy here that likes how reference cards look?

[normal hawk]

No

[rich cedar]

Oh nice

[normal hawk]

I like all the reference cards. Especially the older blower fans 1000 series gpu's

Never had one though

[rich cedar]

I like the single blower RX cards and the new 3000 series with the 2 massive fans that make it look like a VCR tape lol

[normal hawk]

Ye

[brisk flame]

this s*** better have a loaded GA100 die

i hate nvidia

[dreamy dragon]

GM 2 Ton Specialist | DaveBeee#7165 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rich cedar]

I’ve heard Nividia is up to some fishy s*** lately

[ivory herald]

If not referring to LC/aio, people should save the typing or be quicker and just say HsF. It's a 20 yr old acronym also lol

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-boomer-ok-boomer-okay-boomer-boomers-gif-15500914

[normal hawk]

if you're only gaming, I wouldn't worry about an RTX 3090. I'd get a 6900 XT, the Formula is really good but it looks like its price went up. @rich cedar better investment unless you're doing productivity on it. Ie; Rendering, streaming, etc

[ivory herald]

https://tenor.com/view/noob-gaming-working-baby-kid-typing-gif-14545987

[brisk flame]

do not be fooled

these are the same card

[normal hawk]

Ye^

[brisk flame]

yeah sure vram whatever whatever

[normal hawk]

Gaming highend = 3080 ti or 6900xt whichever is cheaper. which at this point unless you get lucky with a best buy drop should be a 6900 XT.

[brisk flame]

these cards gonna be irrelevant by the time 12gb vram isnt enough

[heady turtle]

But a whole 8 more tensor cores, 2 more rt and 256 cuda 😤

[rich cedar]

AMD is knocking it out of the park

🙃

[ivory herald]

Don't yell at us if you waste money on anything "above" the 3080 Ti

[normal hawk]

The formula is back at its original price 😦 1900$

[heady turtle]

For gaming*

[heady turtle]

sadge

[rich cedar]

2 grand

[heady turtle]

1550 for one of the best 6900xts was hawt

[rich cedar]

I can’t say I will ever spend that much on a GPU unless I win the lottery

[brisk flame]

true

[normal hawk]

The good news that it went up is that I won't be tempted to buy it anymore

[brisk flame]

until inflation keeps up

that is

[heady turtle]

Phantom gaming 6900xt for 1600 is still aight tho

[heady turtle]

probably because why buy that when you can buy this https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6600-xt-rx6600xt-clp-8g/p/N82E16814930062

screw 6900xt we got weeb 6800xt

[normal hawk]

I want a waifu card just for the luls

[charred raft]

It has perfume on it too

[ivory herald]

I wonder what the lowest sort of income someone would have is but still drop $1k+ on a gpu

[normal hawk]

stimulus check

I had a job, but the first stimulus check I got I bought a PS4 Pro and a 2070 Super and some games.

[ivory herald]

I support that. Might as well have some toys, especially if other stuff is dealt with and not going in debt for them(by using the stimulus)

[normal hawk]

most of my income last year was untaxable so I don't think my tax returns will be a good amount 😦

Wasn't paying taxes on it initially.

cause combat zone = no income taxes.

but I guess that means I should be under the poverty line so I should get all my taxes back that I paid while working afterward.

So then I think its better than I thought. Sweet. might be able to build the APU/LP GPU build I wanted to.

[ivory herald]

Sure high tier gpu prices are crazy, but it's neat to always glance at how much performance we could get at various prices, say, $400-600 (vs in the past). Minus current times.

[normal hawk]

Radeon 6400 is the GPU I'm thinking of in March.

Maybe 3050/3050 ti/6500XT depending on pricing, size and benchmarks.

Gonna build it inside an Xbox Case, either Xbox One, Xbox 360 or Xbox original. Xbox 360 would be APU not a dGPU due to size constraints. I want it in a Halo Themed Xbox cause I'm too lazy to paint it myself but might change my mind.

[ivory herald]

That's pretty rad. If 3050/Ti is like 3060/Ti then we'll say skip the non-Ti, but we'll definitely see how things go. I'm gonna switch out my 1080, but not until after having the z590 setup a few months. Not outside much this time of year anyways.

[heady turtle]

Well the 3050/ti laptop are almost same perf

[high jay]

Today, I'm unplugging my 2nd 980Ti to give to my brother since his dying GPU is getting really bad at this point and the market still sucks buttcheecks. Goodbye SLI

[heady turtle]

Tbf sli doesn't do a huge amount even if it was alright for gtx 900

[lone pond]

I bought this but the 6700XT version it was amazing

[high jay]

I know, but (going by mis afterburner) the games I was playing had pretty good utilization. Still, losing a GPU is way better than him getting ripped off out of necessity.

[lone pond]

Anime girl added 15% more fps

[heady turtle]

Yeah but sometimes with sli even if you got more fps it would be less smooth

[high jay]

Eh, not my experience. If it was happening to me, I wasnt noticing it

[fallen notch]

is there literally any reason for the 3070 to exist, or is the 3060/3060 ti enough for normies and you may as well go full 3080 for enthusiasts?

[keen nacelle]

the card that has no reason to exist is the 3070 ti

the 3070 is alright

[fallen notch]

maybe by the time I can afford one, they will be back in somewhat reasonable wait times to get a founders edition.

[keen nacelle]

best buy currently has 20k gpus, trusted leakers thought it was supposed to drop 2 days ago but we havent seen it yet

supposed to come this week instead

[fallen notch]

i mean I am still broke rn so it doesnt really help me atm lol

[keen nacelle]

F

also talking msrp the 3060 ti is probably the best value card

3060 much worse value

3080 ti also much worse

3090 same boat as 3080 ti

[fallen notch]

yeah I mean I dont honestly need all that much processing power. I currently have a 1070, and that is still ok for me. I would like something that is a pretty noticeable step up when I upgrade.

[keen nacelle]

1070 isnt much worse than a 3060

1070 is around 2060 without dlss or rtx

3060 is around 2070

[fallen notch]

I like doing rendering and I am no a huge fan of waiting the ten minutes for it to get done

[keen nacelle]

https://technical.city/en/video/GeForce-GTX-1070-vs-GeForce-RTX-3060

[fallen notch]

yeah, i would probably be best suited with a 3060 ti?

[keen nacelle]

probably

[karmic crag]

which leaks?

[keen nacelle]

im going by a very big discord server im in that does drops

tracks*

[karmic crag]

ah gotcha

[keen nacelle]

tracks drops

[tall lichen]

So according to that website a 1650 Super is better than the ||RX580||. Interesting

Also what's the server name?

[vital oriole]

Yes

It's better than 4 gigs 580

Not 8 tho

[idle idol]

I have a 4 gig version of the RX 580

: (

[vital oriole]

better than having no gpu

[idle idol]

mhm

[keen nacelle]

Fixitfixitfixit drops I believe

A friend invited me to it

[tall lichen]

I had the 8GB version

[idle idol]

Ah, what model.

[tall lichen]

How can one join?

[idle idol]

I have the MSI Armor OC

[tall lichen]

Sapphire was the brand. That's all I remember

[idle idol]

Probably Sapphire Nitro

[tall lichen]

I don't think it was nitro

But yeah. It went sparky sparky boom boom and died

[idle idol]

Man my first slot of ram isn't working kinda bothering me rn.

2nd one works.

[tall lichen]

Well more like sparky sparky but you get the point. Now I have a R7 370 4GB

[idle idol]

oh rip

[tall lichen]

Ye

[lone pond]

4gb is still good enough

[ivory herald]

"Micro stutters" with sli was very common.

[lone pond]

@nimble heron

[unborn ruin]

I was wondering, anyone here have an RTX Titan?

[native moss]

Yo is it possible to run 2 gpus on my motherboard?

Ik you can I just dont know if I can with my board

[native moss]

Yo I figured it out

What software's or drivers are needed to run 2 gpus?

[vital oriole]

none

just install the drivers for your gpu

and it should be all there is to do

[native moss]

Itll run both cards together?

Like combine the usable vram?

And what about the output slots

[ivory herald]

Doesn't matter for the most part unless you tried a multi-display setup (3xDisplays). SLI mainly just combines the GPU power so as far as I know it's not like the vRAM is completely doubled also. Understand that there has to be a game "profile" or something that likes SLI, otherwise we get similar if not slightly worse FPS.

[native moss]

Aight cus I have a quadro 600 and it only pushes 1GB of usable and I wanna get a second one so I can have 2GB total

[ivory herald]

tbh I'd have to look it up, been a while since I read/heard about an SLI setup. Example is SLI 960 vs single 980, I forget when/how the 960 vRAM would be an issue compared to a single better card.

[native moss]

Is there a cheap 2GB card?

Cus a quadro 600 is 15 bucks on ebay

[ivory herald]

checking.... LuL, forgot what I was doing. Funny how responsive my pc is even w/ this going.

is 2GB a big issue? If not, you can look for a GTS 450 or better. How many watts is the PSU? That could be a factor. There are quite a few possible upgrades that wouldn't need an extra power cable or more powerful PSU.

[native moss]

Yeah cus most of the racing games I want to play need a gtx650 or better

I downloaded wrc9 and it ran at 20ish fps on max low settings

I currently have 1gb

[ivory herald]

idk what it's like nowadays, but I had a gtx 660 2GB and it was pretty good at the time. oh it's 1 that needs a power cable,

[native moss]

I dont think it has a power cable

I was able to just take it out without unplugging anything

[ivory herald]

sorry I meant a 660, well mine was. See the circled specs in the pic above? The upper ones match the Quadro 600. Hmm, 650's are looking like $35+, but they're quite an upgrade.

[native moss]

Damn 35 bucks for a 2GB card ain't bad

[ivory herald]

That top one is a Ti also, but "only" 1GB.

[charred raft]

Is the 750 Ti expensive?

It's 2gb vram

That could work

[ivory herald]

Good point, this is when it's a fine idea to search a ton of different models because prices fluctuate so much

[native moss]

Aight I'll look into it

Thanks a bunch bro

[ivory herald]

well, cheapest 1 I just found

[charred raft]

Looks like it's $40 for a gtx 750 Ti

[charred raft]

Yea thats a big step up from a 650 2gb

Like 2x perf

[native moss]

I'll let yall know when I do sum itll just be a minute cus I dont wanna touch my sim racing wheel money and imma have to hustle

[ivory herald]

of course, but 650 Ti to 750 Ti isn't a huge difference. It's deffo about what price we can find any of these 2-3 cards. Oh, but 1GB to 2GB. Yeah, I noticed that now

[charred raft]

True, but 650 Ti is only 1gb vram right? Only the non-Ti 650 got the 1 or 2gb option

[ivory herald]

Oh, idk, but... ---Yeah, this 650 ti price shows exactly why we have to search a few models that are better/newer. GTX 660/760 would be great, but idk if bruhhh's psu would handle it.

[charred raft]

Neat! Both got the 2gb vram option!

What psu & cpu?

[ivory herald]

idk. If his psu could do it, 660 would be my suggestion. They're not too cheap anymore.

[native moss]

How do I check my psu?

[ivory herald]

If you just remove the pc side panel, there's usually a label right on there or a model number we can look up. PC model could give an idea to psu capacity also, but not specifically.

[native moss]

Aight

[charred raft]

Wow I'm surprised about 660 Ti being so cheap

[native moss]

Part number: 503378-001

Max power shall not exceed 320W

[ivory herald]

well I have it sorted by price and it's got 5 days left . That's 1 of the best

[charred raft]

What cpu do you have?

[native moss]

Lemme check

[charred raft]

With that maximum wattage it sounds like a Dell pc

[native moss]

Ik it runs at about 2.6-2.7 ghz

It's an hp

[charred raft]

A fast way to check would be open task manager

(For cpu)

[compact panther]

its because kepler kinda sucks

[native moss]

Yeah I had to shut it down and boot it up again

[compact panther]

🤏

[charred raft]

Alot of power burn tbf

[native moss]

Quad cpu Q8400 @ 2.66ghz

[compact panther]

auction

6 days left

[charred raft]

Oki

[native moss]

I'm sending a pic

[charred raft]

The name was plenty :)

[native moss]

I forgot discord waits until the image is sent 😂

[charred raft]

Okay so technically you should have the wattage to run a GTX 660 Ti

[ivory herald]

5 days and change*. I also friggin said that! also (mid-range) 700 series kinda sucked, 660 was a great card. I still have it as a backup

[native moss]

Ooh I found a gtx 660 2GB performance edition for 60 on craigslist

About the same since I dont have to pay for shipping and theres room to haggle

[ivory herald]

indeed, 60 would be decent. What I posted wasn't your exact psu, but I figure they're very similar. I'd think the 660 wouldn't hit 192w. You just might need a 6pin pciexpress power cable, or use an adapter that goes from 2 molex to the 6pin on GPU

[native moss]

Is a quadro 5000 good?

Theres a pc with a quadro 5000 for 100 bucks

And it's cheap because theres no hard drives and no os

So couldn't I just buy it and pull the card

It's a little suspicious tho cus its saying it has 96gb of ram

No way someones givin that up for 100 bucks

A 250 dollar card and that much ram?

[ivory herald]

quadro 5000 is a bit faster than the gtx 650. quadro was more for business type stuff than gaming. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/quadro-5000.c897

For all, here's an enlightening comparison, but ignore the 275 (Jan '09)

[native moss]

Yeah I think the pc is a scam cus theres like 500 dollars of components

[ivory herald]

YOu said 96GB of ram? lol, maybe it's just super old ddr or something. I probably wouldn't bother because a Quadro 5000 isn't worth as much as a 650 Ti/660 if you're talking just games VS what a quadro card was used for.

[native moss]

Ignore my busted headset 😭😭😭

[ivory herald]

hmm,

[lone pond]

hmmm what

[native moss]

It's really suspicious

[ivory herald]

Almost wondering why only $100 tbh w/ that 8core SB, but idk. I'm not to wise on server stuff. I wouldn't by it just to yank the non-gaming Quadro 5000 out of it.

[lone pond]

xeon server cpus are extremely high end im not to smart server wise I just know AMD epyc? cpus and Intel Xeon cpus are hella expensive

they are not good for gaming though

[native moss]

At this point I might buy it, sell the parts, then spend that money on a new card

[ivory herald]

Xeon is basically just more suited for business and 24/7 use (reliability), You can game w/ a xeon just fine I've heard.

Indeed it's funny how expensive these "business" cpus can be, retail was $1550 wtf.

[lone pond]

well that specific model is old and bleh so dont, also xeon cpu prices have stayed the same so if you try to scalp it wont work. it would be best to just buy a gpu with the money you would buy a xeon with

[lone pond]

i5 7th gen around yeah but for 1500 retail... get a i9 12900k for less than half :D

[vital oriole]

the e5 is not bad

but their mobos are so expensive

[lone pond]

are they?

[vital oriole]

cause they're not shared with consumer stuff

[lone pond]

oh yeah thats true

[vital oriole]

yeah anything above e3 are basically automatically no go

cause of mobo prices

[ivory herald]

That e5 says FCLGA2011

[native moss]

Wdym by scalping?

[vital oriole]

but if you're lucky with a whole workstation for cheap

then it's good

yeah it uses lga 2011

[lone pond]

for some reason I thought you meant buy the cpu to sell at a higher price then buy a gpu with that money

1 AM brain here :D

[native moss]

Nah lmao

[ivory herald]

Picture said "32cpus" which probably meant total threads* meaning it might have dual cpus.

[vital oriole]

likely

yeah it's definitely dual socket

[lone pond]

anyways the lowest costing mobo is $400 which is much more expensive than the LGA1700 mobo

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/L7YWGX/supermicro-x10drl-i-atx-dual-cpu-lga2011-motherboard-mbd-x10drl-i-o

dual cpu tho

[vital oriole]

someone stuffed some gpu in there

not good airflow for the gpu tho lol

it's clearly not meant to be gaming, but doable if the gpu could do with such cooling

[lone pond]

I hate this on many levels but if it isnt being heavily used then I aint gonna say anything

[ivory herald]

Some of ya missed earlier msgz but basically bruhhhh is looking for a gpu upgrade from a Quadro 600 I think it was. (320w) psu w/ 16A on the 12v rail(192w max technically)

[native moss]

Yeah

[lone pond]

hmmmm

[native moss]

I might buy this computer, part it out, and then buy a new gpu with the profit

It's only 100 bucks

[lone pond]

send think, I wanna see rq

[native moss]

Send what?

[lone pond]

the pc

i wanna see if its worth 100 or more

[ivory herald]

Duck meant link*

[native moss]

Oh lmao

[lone pond]

1 AM brain like said

[lone pond]

[native moss]

Aight hold on I have to type it out since I'm on my phone

[lone pond]

rip

ok

[ivory herald]

I have typos often myself. Typing too fast late at night and dgaf.

[lone pond]

anyways do think they would downgrade from the quadro 600 to a G100???

it has 512mb of vram :D

[native moss]

Sacramento.craigslist.org/sys/d/davis-hp-z620-graphics-workstation-as-is/7427788008.html

Should be it

[lone pond]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-g100-oem.c639

ok

[ivory herald]

my suggestion is still aiming for a gtx 660 or similar.

[lone pond]

ehhh go for a 750 ti

i gamed on it for a long while and it was great at 1080p 60fps

60hz too

[lone pond]

it it really has a quadro 5000 then do it, that alone is worth 250

[lone pond]

potato settings on AAA games and medium settings on easy to run games :D

[native moss]

Alright

I emailed the guy asking what ddr the ram is

[lone pond]

prob ddr3l or ddr3

[ivory herald]

deffo ddr3/L because it's a sandy bridge

[lone pond]

^

I had a HP pavillion with a GTX 750 ti and ddr3l. Bought ddr4 ram when I was new to the whole pc building thingy

cried

[ivory herald]

ah bummer. btw 660 is much faster, but more wattage.

[lone pond]

it was 8 GB of ddr3l ram (4x2) and i bought 16 GB (8x2) 3200 CL18

[lone pond]

ah didnt know

also that GTX 750 ti looks exactly like mine XD

[native moss]

Hey thanks for the help guys, I'll try and remember to update yall on the suspicious 100 dollar pc

[lone pond]

its no shipping btw

[native moss]

Yeah I'm local

[lone pond]

ight just making sure

[native moss]

Idc if yall know I'm around there lmao

[lone pond]

if you meet with the person btw check specs

[native moss]

Yeah

[lone pond]

there are 7 B people in this world, i dont think it matters if I know where you are

:P

but Ill make sure to stop by when I visit Sacramento :D /j

[native moss]

Lmao

[ivory herald]

Oh I just noticed. I'm up northwest about 50 minutes from Sac, lol

[native moss]

Dope

[ivory herald]

Not as good as some cities, but tons more PC stuff around there than my "small" town/county. I sold a 850 or 860 evo in Roseville last year. Bought it on sale but didnt need it.

[lone pond]

im 11 hrs and 13 minutes away from sac :D

[lone pond]

lol

[past sierra]

How much should I pay for a 6600xt and a 6600

[heady turtle]

6600 no more than 350, 6600xt no more than 450

[analog badge]

would anyone know or have an explanation of why my fps are really low but my temps are still basically boiling (i5 10300h+rtx3060mobile+8gb ram)

like im barely hitting 60 on csgo

on mimimum settings 1080p

[heady turtle]

Only 8gb ram is meh for gaming

If you're not plugged in a lot of laptops will use the integrated gpu instead of 3060

Laptops are supposed to run hot

[analog badge]

usually when i check task manager it says my cpu is at 100% for most of the time

and my gpu sits at like 20-30%

[timid narwhal]

is that during gaming?

[analog badge]

yeah

i think the igpu is cooking it

(as in the performance)

[timid narwhal]

your poor CPU is struggling. the solution, counter intuitively to increase resolution and details

give the GPU more work

[analog badge]

makes sense

also i will probably get more ram soonish so that might help a bit

[timid narwhal]

also, make sure your power cable is plugged in and charging. as has been mentioned, laptops tend to turn off GPUs when not plugged in

[analog badge]

yeah

i can tell because the performance gets kneecapped when that happens

one of my friends unplugged my charger so i lost a 1v1 in r6

the fps dropped very low quite quickly

[dusk kraken]

how do you make a graphics card?

[vital oriole]

have money

lots of it

and hire some guy to design one

[dusk kraken]

can i have moeny please?

or free?

I would wait for the new GPU's to launch. 3050/ti 6400/6500 XT. Maybe one will be the performance level of the 2060 if we're lucky

[naive meteor]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[steady horizon]

There is a new 2060 being released supposedly this month

[normal hawk]

3050 ti and the 6500 XT Could be 1660 Ti/ 2060 Level performance. only time will tell.

[naive meteor]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[vital oriole]

it's already released a month or two ago

and ofc, already expensive

also rare

[steady horizon]

You won't find a retail card 2060 or above for less than 800 right now. Brand new

[vital oriole]

something with 2060 perf should be 1080

but no rt and dlss ofc

[steady horizon]

It "released" but there was no stock....

[normal hawk]

They got snatched up by miners and scalpers

[green harness]

That's not really true. They are not easy to find but there are cards at least than $800 that offer more than 2060 performance.
See Microcenter, Newegg Shuffle, EVGA queue (for those already in queue)

[normal hawk]

EVGA FTW3 3060 Ti sells for 529$ at Best buy and Microcenter when in stock.

[heady turtle]

Well game will just look better, no more fps lol

[heady turtle]

First you design it, gpu itself, board, vrms, etc then you make really good friends with someone at a fab(intel samsung or tsmc) and say pretty please make my gpu

But realistically no you dont

[timid narwhal]

im thinking the CPU will have reduced load, reducing the heat a bit?

[heady turtle]

Think they're problem was fps not temps

[timid narwhal]

both 😅

[past sierra]

yo 3060 ti for 600 get or now

no

[ashen nacelle]

Quick question really fast, what display ports does a 3070 have

Or does it not matter

[past sierra]

most likey the default display port

i can look for you one moment

[charred raft]

It most likely doesn't matter, what screen resolution and Hz do you use?

[past sierra]

yo 3060 ti for 600 get or no @charred raft

[charred raft]

Hmm... 3070's go for $700-$750 rn

[heady turtle]

Ye

[past sierra]

BET

[heady turtle]

Like what version?

[past sierra]

another one was 3070 for 700 is that worht the 100

[heady turtle]

Ehhhhh up to you tbh

[charred raft]

Lol nvm they sell for $1k

[past sierra]

3070s?

[charred raft]

Yea I can't find any online below that cost

[past sierra]

reddit is amazing

[charred raft]

I should look to upgrade too tbh

[ashen nacelle]

I’m getting a Optix g241 and I think it carries a 1.2 display

So I assume I just need a 1.2 display cable to connect to the 3070

[charred raft]

You're fine then. The gpu has 1.4a

Which is backwards compatible

[past sierra]

@heady turtle he just went down 25 dollars on 3060 ti 575 now

[ashen nacelle]

Oh so I can get a 1.4a and I’ll be good the. @charred raft

Then*

[charred raft]

Yep

[ashen nacelle]

Ok ty

[charred raft]

Msrp is $399, that's a good deal tbh

If you need the gpu

[heady turtle]

That's a bit sus just make sure it's real

[past sierra]

its r/hardwareswap and he trades a lot on steam has no bad reviews @heady turtle

[heady turtle]

[past sierra]

@normal hawk

[ashen nacelle]

@charred raft

Is that it or no

[charred raft]

Look at the back they all look the same lol

[charred raft]

The tiny text on the back list the type, all display port cables look the same

[ashen nacelle]

I’m either blind or it doesn’t say

[runic crypt]

hey once i get enough people to commission me for physical artworks i might try to settle for a lower-end scalper

even if it's something like antonline

which is one of the more reasonable ones

not taking best buy into account, which other sources are best for video cards rn?

[past sierra]

r/hardwareswap im might be getting a 3060ti for 575 @runic crypt

[runic crypt]

oh?

[charred raft]

That's a 1080p @ 144hz monitor. It will work

[runic crypt]

i'm willing to settle for 500-600 if need be

[charred raft]

So it will work because that's a 4k @ 120Hz cable which is 4x as many pixels

[ashen nacelle]

Ok ty

[normal hawk]

Not bad

[heady turtle]

That's not even lhr then

[fading briar]

Is a 3060 ti LHR worse than a normal one?

[past sierra]

not even close lhr is low hash rate

[fading briar]

So. . . Bad for gaming?

[past sierra]

i dont know to much about it but i think its better u can ask pato or top percent they smart

i not

[fading briar]

Pato yes or no?

Also, is it Pato for duck?

[past sierra]

@heady turtle

[heady turtle]

Worse at mining, games the same just means more money mining

[heady turtle]

No

Nvidia is streaming right now. It's an announcement it looks like

[rustic pulsar]

3090 ti???? 👀

[heady turtle]

yep CES, AMD just did theres, intels is in 2h

hell yeah CES roblox n lil nas x XD

[rustic pulsar]

Number one victory royal

[normal hawk]

Nvidia is streaming on twitch. This isn't CES

It's a bunch of announcements about GeForce now.

[heady turtle]

CES

[normal hawk]

In Q2 Samsung TV's will have GeForce Now built in.

[ashen nacelle]

lmao

Ah

[heady turtle]

its CES online just no in person event

[lone pond]

🤓 "I game on gfn"

🤓 "I pay for GFN"

[lone pond]

Amd was showing technological advancements and Nvida is showing 5 year old games with rtx

[normal hawk]

ooooo RTX 3050

3050 has 8gbs????

oh wait that was the guess

[ashen nacelle]

250

[normal hawk]

it was 4 or 8 lol.

3050 Ti was 6 or 12 so we're looking at 12 then huh if its real

[heady turtle]

3050 for $250

:/

[normal hawk]

Now lets see where the AM5 APU's are priced at when they release

[lone pond]

BAHAHAA GTX GAMERS ITS TIME TO UPGRADE TO RTX

HA

OMG

YOU'RE SO FUNNY

Nvidia is CRYING rn

LOOK AT THE STREAM CHAT

[normal hawk]

if they have an AM5 APU 8C/16T that can compete with the 3050 (none RT) for like 300-400$ that'll be pretty crazy.

[lone pond]

ngl if the 3050 stays cheap, then that will totally be a good gpu

[heady turtle]

yeah that would be sick

rtx 3080 TIE

[normal hawk]

Ti isn't an abbreviation its Ti(tanium) so yes its pronounced that way

cry about it 🤷‍♂️

did they just REPLAY a part of the video

god, did you ever maybe think about how everyone spent thousands of dollars on 20 series cards, then you cry for them to upgrade to even more expensive cards? i smell greed

thats gonna be a meme, i promise

[dreamy dragon]

GM 2 Ton Specialist | DaveBeee#7165 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rich cedar]

ffs

[ivory herald]

20 series prices actually were pretty normal, afaik. Surely wasn't $600 for a 2060 "ti" aka 2060S.

[rich cedar]

thats actually not bad

i dont understand the super series

[ivory herald]

Super models are about 90-95 perf of the tier above them. I'd for sure take an 80/70 is the 70/60S was similar price though. 2080 was $700ish, $100 more than 1080 originally

[rich cedar]

waew

so its nomal, TI, then Super?

[normal hawk]

Depends on the card

[heady turtle]

usually ti is better than super

[ivory herald]

super is just a newer naming. So many cards nowadays

[heady turtle]

super is a refresh

[normal hawk]

only Ti thats not really worth it imo is the 3070 Ti.

[heady turtle]

3080 ti isnt

imo

3090 ti also probs wont be

[normal hawk]

it is if you don't have a 3080

well yeah 3090 ti isn't

I might be able to also trade my FHR 3080 for a 3080 ti apparently 😮

[heady turtle]

well lol thats like saying the 2080 ti is worth it if you dont have a 2080

[heady turtle]

you should be getting cash on top of that too tbh

[normal hawk]

Ye Saw someone looking for a FHR 3080, the the card they were offering was the Zotac AMP Holo 3080 ti with cash 😮 too bad they were lookin for local

[heady turtle]

nice how much where they offering and what model do you have?

[normal hawk]

I don't wanna ship it though TBH. I don't have a box for it. its sitting in the 3090 box right now to keep it from being dusty.

[heady turtle]

a bubble wrap package will do tbh

[normal hawk]

Zotac Trinity OC Rev 1.0

They were looking at GPU + 500 or GPU + Xbox SX I think

im done with the word bot stuff, imma just go elsewhere

i was looking at like a 6600XT prolly

if i ever upgraded down the road lol

so it looks like the 3070 is comprable to the 6700XT

[quartz gull]

In this market 2080ti launch price doesn't even seem unreasonable, that's what's sad

[heady turtle]

lol yeah

[ivory herald]

20 series also didn't push near 400w did they?

[quartz gull]

Nah

My 70 class card only pulls 40 watts less than a 2080ti

[ivory herald]

Exactly, but I mean at same tier.

[rich cedar]

hmm so ive done some digging and it looks like the 3060TI is the best price to perfomace? from freaking nvidia????

so, cards ive been tossing around, Vega 56 and 64, the 3060TI, and 6700XT, those are the main 3

[ivory herald]

Shuffle has a 2fan 60 ti for $600ish 😅

[rich cedar]

that is nuts

im waiting till prices go back to normal to upgrade

yeah thats fine, i only got my 580 last year lol

[ivory herald]

You said normal, this is even nuttier. It's not a Ti. I just got mine in June 😅

[normal hawk]

Prices have gotten worse up until now. maybe they'll start going down now but I doubt it.

[rich cedar]

i could get something nicer for that money in like a year like you were saying

[normal hawk]

Might have been better to buy a prebuilt if you were really impatient. there were plenty of deals on them. lol

[rich cedar]

Like a 6800 or 6800XT lel

[ivory herald]

Eventually people won't want 10 series as much also, so those prices will go down too

[rich cedar]

I’ve dropped like 1200 into this computer, I hate prebuilt

Yeah true

[wet wyvern]

building a pc is pricy... if your not patient

[rich cedar]

Ye

I honestly should have built my own a few years ago lol

[wet wyvern]

mainly due to the GPU at this current time

[ivory herald]

I realized I just spent $500ish or more going to 11gen intel

[normal hawk]

will be exciting to see the 1650 Super prices go down with the 3050 launches

[rich cedar]

Not ripped off on a 500 dollar pre built still on DDR3 lel

I’m excited for the 3050 tbh

[normal hawk]

that makes sense. 200$ mobo, 200$ CPU, 100 $ Ram allocated.

[ivory herald]

Really everything besides gpu is well priced, and besides ram sometimes. Yes Top-P, close lol. Mobo 175, cpu 230, ram 130, had to try nvme 43, case 75 because keeping old pc intact.

[normal hawk]

I like NVME. less cables

[rich cedar]

@ivory herald I spent 500 going to Zen 3 lol

[normal hawk]

I don't want to talk how much I spent. but I built 2 entirely new PC's for Zen 3. the one I had before was not used at all for components.

[rich cedar]

Wow

[normal hawk]

😂

[wet wyvern]

I spent too much on two pc's in a two week period..

[normal hawk]

mine was over a 9 month period that I was deployed so not too bad imo

[rich cedar]

ces 2022 intel lets go

[wet wyvern]

work paid for half of the two pc's soo yeah

or will be

[rich cedar]

Yay the guy doesn’t sound like a 3am informercial

I do hate people that talk with their hands tho

It’s distracting

[ivory herald]

Going new, a pc can only be so cheap. At least we're not picking between hdds anymore, just maybe getting a certain 4-8TB for data hoarding. Watching on YouTube?

[rich cedar]

Yeah

I need to buy an SSD lel

It’s 2022. The time has come

[ivory herald]

Not even sata ssd yet? Well I'll let ya know how the cheapo sn550 does although it'll be a whole separate rig. I could try my extra sata mx500 though, for testing

[rich cedar]

Nope

Good old spiny boy

[ivory herald]

The great news is nvme is priced so close or better than certain sata ssd drives and it'll only get somewhat better over time. Data center not dealing with 200 cables, lol

[rich cedar]

Is it faster than SATA by quite a bit?

[ivory herald]

3 times is common

[rich cedar]

Damn

Yeah I’m looking at NVME lol

[ivory herald]

That's just sequential, but should be overall snappier than sata also. The main thing is getting good iops or "random" specs, i.m.o. btw my current combo is just the 250gb mx500 & a wd10ezex (1TB). Perhaps for the new rig I'll try out sn550 + my 1TB mx500 (it was $160, yikes)

[rich cedar]

Interesting

Honestly both of them

I wouldn’t pass on that tbh

All the laptops are over a grand at least

[ivory herald]

Couple years ago got my grandma an Acer laptop for $450ish and it had a decent ssd in it also.

[rich cedar]

Dang the chat

Wow

[ivory herald]

F = fail or what? Eh, that's youtube commenters for ya

[rich cedar]

They never talked about the desktop GPUs

[dreamy dragon]

GM 2 Ton Specialist | DaveBeee#7165 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

GM 2 Ton Specialist | DaveBeee#7165 has been kicked

Reason: Too many infractions

[normal hawk]

Just toxic people thinking gaming is the only thing Intel amd and nvidia do.

[ivory herald]

"Fkn waste of my time". There ya go

[normal hawk]

It was like that in all of the announcements

[rich cedar]

Yeah

ugh this is annoying, now they are on with Ford

[ivory herald]

12500/12400ish laptop would be awesome. Crazy that all decent laptops are $700+ nowadays

[normal hawk]

Because it's a wide variety of consumers.

[rich cedar]

we all care about the gpus and 12th gen intel

[ivory herald]

Intel gpus will get spanked by Nv 10 series, that's my prediction

[normal hawk]

"We all"

Not true. 90% of people don't care about GPU's or 12th gen CPU's. They don't care what's in their PC as long as it works for what they use it for.

[rich cedar]

oh my god this is such a waste, jfc

[normal hawk]

Stop watching then?

[rich cedar]

i prolly will tbh

[wet wyvern]

I mostly care if the pc works for what im doing, though clearly I went overkill for what I do right now.

[keen nacelle]

2080 ti mines better than 3060 ti

slightly more efficient i believe

[rich cedar]

yeaaaa, that was rough

[ivory herald]

Not good for upgraders. I don't care about mining. Although many people probably don't mind if a certain gpu was mined on.

[rich cedar]

imma give it to amd this year, best presentation

tommorow is gonna have some funny videos on CES recap lmaooo

i am actually kinda pissed they never talked about ARC for desktop

[normal hawk]

I wonder when we'll get an Arc test kit for PC. 😅

[rich cedar]

it just pisses me off, they never talked about specs and stuff. CES as a whole was quite dissapointing

[normal hawk]

They talk about specs: people: take those with a grain of salt, it's fake they're doing fake numbers with inhouse tests.

They don't talk about specs: people: Where numbers? 😭

[normal hawk]

Noooooo

https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/4/22865817/amd-radeon-rx-6500-xt-rdna-2-price-release-date

6400 will be OEM only 😭

6500xt is only 200$ though, not that they will be selling cards for that price. So 3rd party decides on that smh

[rich cedar]

why not just find an oem to buy

[normal hawk]

Cause I'd have to buy a whole PC when I'd just want the GPU.

LP cards don't really exist anymore. The 6400 is the only current gen LP card and it's not out yet.

Would be just less of a hassle to give up and just cable manage the 6500xt than waste money on a Prebuilt lol

[ivory herald]

Last single slot card i had was.... 7800 GS, pretty much the last agp card.

[normal hawk]

Agp?

[ivory herald]

Precursor to pci express. Accelerated Graphics Port.

[normal hawk]

Oh

[ivory herald]

It borrowed bandwidth and/or didn't provide enough, but was plenty for a long time. I had 5 cards before getting one on pciE (8800 gts 512). Being 25-35 is the golden age range for seeing great tech-related changes.

[keen nacelle]

is 3050 not lp?

[heady turtle]

They didn't show it iirc

Just said

[keen nacelle]

ah

i havent watched nvidias CES yet

did they say theres going to be both a 4gb and 8gb variant?

[ivory herald]

Rtx, i5, ddr would've sufficed

[heady turtle]

Ddr....

I'd be very concerned

Also 2060, 10400 would make way more sense

[ivory herald]

We're on QDR for a while now, right?

[normal hawk]

8gb, no Ti announced yet

[normal hawk]

Dance Dance Revolution?

[ivory herald]

Some of these emotes LuL

[heady turtle]

In gpus yes, in dram ram noo

[normal hawk]

I need to see Benchmarks. Cause I think i'll I go quad core + 3050/6500XT or AM5 APU e.e but the only ones that I think I'll get anytime soon is the 3050/6500 XT.

also I should note I don't think they'll make any low tier ITX Mobo's for intel. same with AMD tbh

[ivory herald]

True, would mess with people more than just buying "3200" ram & in cpuz it says 1600

[normal hawk]

lol imagine an i3 in a 400$ Z690

[quartz gull]

If the 3050 is 75 watts it's going to be op

[normal hawk]

its not 75 Watts

[quartz gull]

What is it?

Requiring a power connector is a deal breaker for a 50 series card

[normal hawk]

theres literally only 4 LP 1650 cards. so clearly not

[quartz gull]

I've bought 11 LP 1650s

I think the days of just spotting in a gpu into any machine are dead then

Old optiplex machines need them

[idle idol]

might be a decent upgrade for my RX 580

I didn't hear it correclty at the AMD CES event does it have 8GB VRAM doe?

[normal hawk]

11 different ones? Zotac has 1, Gigabyte has 1, msi has 1, and asus has 1.

No 1650 Super is LP.

[ivory herald]

When the heck will pcie give maybe 100w instead of only 75?

[idle idol]

Ah it's only 4 GB but it's GDDR6 doe.

[normal hawk]

yeah its only 4gb

[heady turtle]

Ehhh probably not looks to only be around 30% better than a rx 570

[idle idol]

err

will that be the RX 570 8GB VRAM version or both?

[rich cedar]

@idle idol looking for an RX580 upgrade eventually aswell too?

[idle idol]

mhm

[rich cedar]

I had 3 cards in mind

[idle idol]

What you thinking about.

[rich cedar]

Vega 64, 3060TI and the 5700XT

[idle idol]

mm..

[normal hawk]

Vega 64 and 5700XT are priced too high on the used market. good luck with that

[idle idol]

I think I might get the RX 6600

tbh,

maybe not the RX 6500 XT

[normal hawk]

not in new games. performs much better in Back 4 Blood, RE, Halo Infinite, and AOE IV

[heady turtle]

They didn't say I'd assume 8gb

[heady turtle]

Source? They showed and average of 25-30 in the slideshow

[idle idol]

so probably a 35% performance difference for the 4GB version.

of the RX 570

[normal hawk]

for the 6500 XT?

https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/amd-radeon-rx-6500-xt

[heady turtle]

Ye

[normal hawk]

lowest game they listed here is vanguard at 61 fps 1080p high

[idle idol]

I usually get around 38 FPS on my RX 580 in halo infinite

[normal hawk]

78 FPS Halo Infinite

[idle idol]

78 FPS for the RX 6500 xt

and thats high settings

I am pretty much running on low settings

[rich cedar]

I always wanted something substantial if I was up grading

[normal hawk]

MSI Ventus 3x 3090 is in stock on newegg. 3000$

Go for it GM 2 Ton

[rich cedar]

F ing nuts

[idle idol]

Prices are still the same..

[rich cedar]

I’m not made of money

[idle idol]

lol

[normal hawk]

I mean

you could sell a kidney on the black market

[idle idol]

Hopefully my half brother comes in today and changes out my motherboard that I have in my PC.

one of the 2 slots of ram ain't workin

[cosmic bluff]

I'ma snag two 3090TI to SLI for dumb fun

[idle idol]

Good luck you're gonna need a good PSU

and electricity bills finna go 📈

[rich cedar]

Yup

Yeah those were my 3 pics if prices ever go down tho

[idle idol]

usually my parents rent for electricity is average around 320$ a month

[rich cedar]

I was also gonna say Radeon 7 but it’s expensive and runs hot and noisy

[normal hawk]

wait Gigabyte made a blower 3090???

[rich cedar]

Vot

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3090-gv-n3090turbo-24gd/p/N82E16814932487?Item=9SIARUXHD58267

[idle idol]

I like that

[normal hawk]

😂

[rich cedar]

Idk why people are buying cards when they are so expensive rn lol

[normal hawk]

Well that is scalped

[idle idol]

nearly 4k

[rich cedar]

Figured

Yeah

[idle idol]

jesus

[rich cedar]

Exactly

Always kinda wanted a Vega card tho lol, I know the modern cards like the 5700XT would be more worth it tho

I was originally looking at 56 before I got my RX580 but now that I have it, the 64 is more substantial performance wise

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6600-xt-rx6600xt-clp-8g/p/N82E16814930062?Item=N82E16814930062 Get this

[rich cedar]

I’m not buying anything rn

For fricks sale

Sake

Just giving suggestions

Waste of money especially rn

MSRP was 400 and once the market goes down I hope I can get one for that

I think

Ahh

500

[ivory herald]

Sometimes the 6600/xt is modest price though. Yes, 3060 ti msrp was $400ish. Whether I "upgrade" or not, just gonna try to sell before value tanks

[rich cedar]

Yeah, I would try and swing one for 450, a Vega 64

[normal hawk]

Vega 64 for 450 is a waste of money

[rich cedar]

I guess when you can get a 3060TI for that prolly

[normal hawk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZpIIV7i7DU&ab_channel=BenchmarkPCTech

6600xt outperforms the Vega 64 even at 1440p and 4k lol

[rich cedar]

Yeah

[normal hawk]

like if you're gonna aim low, don't go for a card thats popular for miners

[rich cedar]

Is there one with the 6600XT and the 3060TI?

Oo

Vega is popular with miners?

[normal hawk]

Yea

[rich cedar]

I thought it was a content creation card

[keen nacelle]

Very popular

56 and 64
