[keen nacelle]

Any 8gb rx 400/500 series card other than 590

Hynix memory 1660 supers

[rich cedar]

That’s why I never hear about them lol

[keen nacelle]

5700xts and a bit lesser so 5600xts

Fhr 30 series obviously

Those are the mainly sought after cards for mining

[rich cedar]

The 6700XT is what I’d upgrade to down the road, or the 3060TI, I kinda shy ed away from the Vega now that you mention it’s a good mining card

[normal hawk]

6700 XT is less popular with miners cause 5700 XT is better than it for mining. but AIB's marked all those up and who knows when those will go down

[rich cedar]

Mmm

That’s good to hear

[keen nacelle]

I've seen plenty of 1:1 trades reference 6700xt to any model 5700xt

[rich cedar]

So cards that are popular with miners are less likely to be in stock?

[keen nacelle]

Hell I've seen people add 50-100 on top of the 6700xt

[normal hawk]

ye

[keen nacelle]

I've seen a miner do a 1:1 trade 6800xt to fhr 3060 ti

[normal hawk]

Less likely to be affordable. cause those are the ones scalpers really want. as miners have more money to spend than gamers

[keen nacelle]

I'm still holding out hopes to grab a 3080 fe off best buy this week

Ima be stalking it even while in school

Free upgrade so why not

[normal hawk]

So I could potentially get a 6900 XT for my FHR 3080? maybe ? 😮

[keen nacelle]

Sell my 60 ti to a miner

[keen nacelle]

Maybe

[quartz gull]

No 11 total 1650 GPUs lol

[keen nacelle]

Userbenchmark is ass

[rich cedar]

😔

[quartz gull]

I flip a lot of systems

The death of 75 watt GPUs is sad

[normal hawk]

6400 will be 75 Watts but its OEM only 😦

[keen nacelle]

I think that nvidia is going to refocus on power efficiency after 4000 series

[heady turtle]

[dreamy dragon]

`UserBenchmark is NOT a reliable source of information and has been blanket banned in many hardware communities such as r/hardware and r/intel for what started as an anti-AMD bias but has spiraled into delusion.

In fact, they tried so hard to skew results in favor of Intel's midrange that they even cannibalized Intel's own high end. For example, according to UserBenchmark, the i3-9350K is rated higher than the i9-10980XE.

For a similarly convenient quick-and-dirty hardware comparison website, we recommend using PassMark instead of UserBenchmark.

Aye is upgrading a motherboard gonna be hard or easy? Do I need to uninstall any sort of drivers?

[heady turtle]

When changing motherboard you want to reinstall windows

[idle idol]

mkay

Do I need a new key?

[rich cedar]

Okeeeey

Kewl!

I always just used userbench because it was simple

[heady turtle]

@normal hawk I'm not joking btw

[quartz gull]

:(

[idle idol]

Oh wait I got to login to my Microsoft account.

[heady turtle]

No you can reuse key usually, link Microsoft account to windows account to be 100% sure

[normal hawk]

I know you aren't, but I was too lazy to do that

[idle idol]

Ah ok,

[rich cedar]

Passmark only does CPUs?

[idle idol]

Hopefully my 2 ram slots will work on my new motherboard,

[heady turtle]

It sucks, there's alternatives that are simple and better in the links part of this @rich cedar

[normal hawk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azWj7cIqfYQ&ab_channel=Jarrod'sTech

[quartz gull]

As long as it's not an OEM key you should be fine

[heady turtle]

They're both passmark, cpu bench for cpu, video card for gpus

[normal hawk]

There ya go. this one even goes into DLSS 2.0

[idle idol]

got it off of G2A

[heady turtle]

Sketch

[rich cedar]

Oh noice

[quartz gull]

Oh then it's 100% an OEM key

If you change any major hardware (CPU, Mobo, storage) it may not let you transfer

[heady turtle]

Better chance if you link Microsoft account

Why is it so hard to win the damn shuffle, been trying for weeks lol

[rich cedar]

You can win stuff??

👀👀👀

[long forge]

fine i should be more descriptive, i wasn't selected lol

[rich cedar]

Oo

You can’t actually win it

You still have to buy it

Not interested

[green harness]

Massive shortage.
Many people enter.
Few receive offers to purchase

[static narwhal]

Is it concerning if my gpu is clocking over its listed boost clock speeds even though it's maintaining good thermals? Or did I hit the silicon lottery? 👀

[green harness]

It is not concerning

[vital oriole]

that's normal dynamic boosting

modern gpus does that

for max perf

[ivory herald]

Very common. My stock boost is a 1860ish but I'm always 1950-2000 depending on the game

[livid idol]

I remember when the 1ghz barrier was finally broken on gpu. Good times.

https://tenor.com/view/oh-i-member-randy-marsh-south-park-s20e1-member-berries-gif-20603949

[ivory herald]

I recall my 260 was 650ish MHz & 660 was 980ish base clock, but I'd have to look up other cards. 🤘 Lots of changes gen to gen back then

[livid idol]

The first without overclocking to surpass 1000 mhz was the Radeon hd 4890 in 2009

[ivory herald]

Oh right on. I know the 4870 & 4850 were the really popular cheaper models.

[livid idol]

It took a long time to get there too. We were stuck in the 900s for years.

[ivory herald]

Mhm, and dealing with just adding "cores" a while. Some of those Nv dies changed size big time. Also you remind me how a lot of cpus were stuck around 3GHz or so a long time, now we have these cpus boosting to near 5GHz wow. Obviously OC was a bigger thing before boosting & losing the front side bus like it was

[livid idol]

New am5 chips supposedly do 5ghz all core boost

[ivory herald]

Save max efficiency and low power for laptops lol

[livid idol]

They talked about that at ces too, 6000 series laptop chips with rdna2 graphics for double the frames of previous gen laptops.

[ivory herald]

Eventually I'll find a decent $400ish laptop again. Idc about gaming on one. The portability is really handy. Obv I've almost got 2 desktops anyways 😅

[livid idol]

I still use my circa 2009 laptop, that I upgraded to a dual core cpu and came with Radeon 4250 graphics

Back when laptops were upgradeable

[ivory herald]

Nice. I had an old hp dv6700 w/ vista. No way Win10 would be ok on it so scrapped it. My grandma has a Win10 acer from 2016ish w/ an ssd and it works great. That long battery life & stuff

[livid idol]

Yeah this old thing doesn't run windows any more either. Best I can tell is the graphics card has issues with directx, so I just run Linux.

[ivory herald]

Well if you can at least surf the web or something, still useful huh. I didn't try linux but my dad had Ubuntu or Red hat for a time. Pretty neat

[livid idol]

Linux is uniquely suited for running on old hardware. What with the open source kernel and drivers.

[ivory herald]

Oh yeah much less resource intensive, that I've heard. Bad thing about that old hp was no booting from usb i think, & maybe too old to fuss w/ (hdd & such)

[livid idol]

Not having to reboot every time you update a minor file (or major ones for that matter) is a huge selling point for me

Odd if that laptop couldn't boot usb. I've been doing that since windows xp era.

[ivory herald]

Possible, and perhaps I didn't want to bother changing the OS. Hmm, as fast as ssd is, sometimes I don't want to restart because it'll flush the ram/drive cache. But currently still have a lot on the spare hdd instead of ssd. New rig is gonna be SSD only besides maybe a big hdd someday for extra storage

[quartz gull]

Had 42 attempts before I went scalper route

[keen nacelle]

I had 39 attempts

Entered for every 3060/ti, 3070, and some 3080s as long as prices weren't insane

[elfin kraken]

I want to buy a laptop

which will have Core i5 nvidia Geofrce 1650ti graphics card

[lone pond]

Get the 3050 or 3050 ti

Gtx on laptop now sucks due to power restraints

[long forge]

wow do you guys know anyone who was selected before?

[heady turtle]

No 1660 is usually better than 3050

[vital oriole]

for how much?

[lone pond]

More money

[heady turtle]

?

[vital oriole]

3050 will be scalped anyway

don't expect msrp

[heady turtle]

we talking bout laptop tho

[vital oriole]

oh

yeah

1660ti laptop defo does better than 3050

wew

[lone pond]

Hard to come across

[heady turtle]

no its not

[lone pond]

I can never find one under 1000

[heady turtle]

i mean for 1k you can get 3060 anyway but

[lone pond]

Yea

But for like 800$

I’d be happy for a 1660

If I could find one

[heady turtle]

fair

[copper geode]

Have you heard about the latest news about AMD 6500XT

I hope the price would not hit my savings.

[heady turtle]

Looks meh

[livid idol]

6500XT is supposed to be $200 and perform like a 1650. Like pato said, meh.

[normal hawk]

it outperforms a 1650 according to their benchmarks

the 6400 is the 1650 performer

its taking the SPOT performance wise in relation to current GPU's as the 1660. but that doesn't mean it has the exact same performance.

In the similar sense that the 3090 replaced the titan. Same tier, but higher performance.

[heady turtle]

About 30% better than a 1650 according to amds benches

[normal hawk]

I'm seeing 50% in multiple games at 1080p high settings. but that could be due to people testing the 1650 super with lower end cpu's like the 3100 and the 10300.

[livid idol]

Got my cards mixed up then. Bound to happen with 30 different announcements in one day.

[heady turtle]

Ahh yeah bound to happen

[normal hawk]

I'll try for a 6500 XT or 3050 if I can get it cheaper than a 1650 lmao

[mental garnet]

Not pog

I don't even remember what I said lmao

[livid idol]

You said "I'm running all new 'stuff' except the gpu"

[ivory herald]

That's many these days. Itchin to bench old & new rig at the same time. Cpu is here in a week

[green harness]

Aren't all the benchmarks first party for the 6500xt so far? If so, wait for 3rd party reviews to confirm (or not)

If you need to/can buy it at launch just be ready to cancel/return it if its performance is bad according to reviews

[normal hawk]

Well duh

[green harness]

My point is I wouldn't read a whole lot into first party benchmarks to begin with. At most they show the best case scenario for a card...maybe

[ivory herald]

They're tweaked

[normal hawk]

I did clarify that comparing it to 1650 super benchmarks were likely unfavorable due to the CPU in most 1650 super benchmarks being budget already which already gives the 6500 XT an advantage as they could be using a 5900x or something instead of the 3100/I3 10300 that most 1650 super benchmarks I have seen.

also they'll use favorable games on there. like AMD focused games.

which all of the games besides fortnite that they did benchmarks on are AMD favorable games cause Xbox.

[coarse lark]

Can’t believe I let a Zotac 1080ti Mini go from Mercari…it was under $450

I wanted to buy it, but alas. Not enough money.

[cerulean rover]

Mercari is pretty filled with scams so I feel like that would've been a scam

(Considering the price is a bit too good to be true)

[coarse lark]

Very possible. I have built almost my entire rig from there

1070 $185. Last year, my system Inspiron 3670, $200

CX750m for around $50, 32gb ddr4 2666 $90

I have been very lucky

[cerulean rover]

Well, CXm not the best so that's to be expected, and you could get the ram new for 90$, so most of that is at a 'reasonable' price to be not a scam
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232765

[coarse lark]

Oh nice. Yea I should have went newer TX model which is gold not bronze

But the 1070 mini isn’t a bad draw. Neither is the i5 8400.

[cerulean rover]

I mean, nothing to do with that, that's just a efficiency rating, CX is much better than CXm, despite both being bronze, CXm just uses worse internal components, worse ripple and the such, and commonly has coil whine

[coarse lark]

Oh wow. I didn’t think the m would be that much different.

[cerulean rover]

And 1070 is definitely not a bad deal if it was this year, but last year, sounds relatively standard considering prices last year

But I also wasn't really paying attention to GPU prices last year, didn't have to xD

[coarse lark]

Yea I was using SFF cases and had a LP 1650. But when I saw the 1070 I just had to go from 4gb to 8gb. Lol

let me rephrase. Dell SFFs lol.

[cerulean rover]

Dell is dell, nothing you can do about it xD

[coarse lark]

I have never owned an after market case. Prebuilts for me blah

[cerulean rover]

Should get a decent case, nice for everything

theres a phoenix 3060

yeee

its temps are about the same as HP's OEM 3060 iirc

[novel lagoon]

@lone pond u can get a 1650 for like 400$ usd

[clever pagoda]

Only time I ever win the shuffle is when it's the 1500$ gpu combo lol

A 400$ sdd? Imma hard pass on that

[lone pond]

i have a 1650 super

[dreamy dragon]

GOJO#9215 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rich cedar]

I don’t know why you would pay 400 for a 1650 now because you could pay 400 for a 3060 in a better market

😐

Good things come to those that wait

[heady turtle]

Who the hell is paying 400 for a 1650

You can EASILY get a gtx 1070 for 400

[rich cedar]

3060 for 400 tho

😐

Wait till the market goes down so you can get more for your dollar

[heady turtle]

Doesn't really apply to people who don't have a gpu/good enough one lol

[livid idol]

Your advice boils down to "wait until 2023" at which point next gen cards should be out, with much higher msrp expected.

[normal hawk]

Also with covid still around, the market will still be trash in terms of supply.

[rich cedar]

not to mention another variant was spotted in france

that is more resistant to the vaccine

Going from my desktop 3070 to my laptop 1650 when I go on vacations is such a transition

[quartz gull]

That's coming in 1.5-2 years. 2H 2023... Telling people to wait that long is kinda crazy tbh, especially if they don't have a GPU

[heady turtle]

Oof yeah I'd say so

[quartz gull]

It's a 60hz 1080p screen tho

It plays games decently well, was just playing vanguard with some friends medium settings, usually was at 60 fps with 95% gpu usage so honestly not that bad

Definitely a 1080p low/medium card lol

[keen nacelle]

That's the only thing I'm not looking forwards to about an apu laptop

Itll most likely have a 60hz screen

I doubt there'll be many budget friendly 6000 series laptops with over 60hz screens

The perf dif isn't an issue for me since I currently mostly play val and mc

[regal spade]

Howdy

What's up? Bought any more GPUs? :P

Woah

Nice bit of cash

Ye good times

Working

Lol

Ye I ets'd in November after getting back from my deployment

Need to find time to go to the VA to file for disability.

Doubt it will be lol

Cause we never figured out WHY it happened. And as it's soft tissue damage it's not easy to prove it's there in the first place

Tendonitis sucks.

And mines chronic 😅 so even if it goes away, I will get it back. And my wrist movement never comes back fully.

Oh and she still hasn't gotten her disability sorted out yet? That's bogus e.e

Wtf

e.e I hope the VA there gets in gear and gives her what she needs. It's bogus that they put hers on hold.

[mint basin]

I'm officialy wet xD new PSU (That doesn't make a freaking sound) and a real GPU, goodbye GT 710, hello videogames

[normal hawk]

Nicccee

[terse spade]

@rotund sparrow in regards to that GPU, it isn't a horrible price for the current market, it's still $100 more than it's expected msrp though. It seems to be on par if not slightly better than the 3060

It's a way better price than the $600+ people are trying to sell it for on eBay though

[hollow quest]

so ive had my 1060 6gb on the market for a little while now just seeing what kind of offers id get well i had a guy offer me a 1080 founders edition claims never been overclocked i checked out the specs and its definetly a better card then what i have wanted me to add 300 cash with my card and i got him down to 175 and my card whats everyones opinion on the card any issues i need to watch out for

[ivory herald]

Sell your card for $250ish or however much, then add $200ish & you could end up w/ something better than an FE 1080 for sure. Once you go 2 or 3fan, i can't go back . That guy is having a tough time selling that FE, obviously

[hollow quest]

oh most definetly thats why i asked bc im really skeptical with this guy my 1060 is dual fan im happy with my card id just like to upgrade especially being that i have a asus rog strx b450 mother board waiting for new parts lol

[ivory herald]

Tbh I was pretty fine w/ my 970. Not saying you have to get a Strix model, but I'd shy away an FE 10 series. If your 1060 is doing well for ya, I'd skip 10 series & keep an eye out for a 2070 or something like that to jump ahead 1 gen as I plan to sometime. 👍

That's good

[wooden fern]

3050

[rustic pulsar]

Yes that is a gpu

[sullen panther]

They became extinct many years ago when an asteroid hit earth

[ivory herald]

3050 I think will be 4GB. Price likely shocking

[normal hawk]

It's 8gb and 249$

It was revealed at CES lol

[ivory herald]

4gb option i mean. So a 8GB 1650/S for $250

[normal hawk]

It should perform closer to a 2060

Besides the bus, it's higher specced than a 2060 in every way iirc

[ivory herald]

Hopefully. It'll be good to have a bunch of new cards that are junk for mining

[normal hawk]

Ye

So i can't find the 3050's memory speed, so other than that and the bus (128-bit vs 192-bit) the 3050 has higher base/boost and more cores.

Hopefully the 128bit bus isn't that much of a nerf.

But it probably will be just like the 3060

[cerulean rover]

TPU guesses 1750mhz base mem, so a bit slower than 3060 at that point

[ivory herald]

Really doubt it performs at all close to 3060, but that would be good for us.

[normal hawk]

I'm not saying it'll perform like a 3060

I'm saying the lower bus will Nerf it's 8gbs like the 192 bit bus nerfs the 12gbs on the 3060.

[final mist]

My 1070 ti fan coolers doesn't work 😩

[vital oriole]

yeah

no

[normal hawk]

Yeah no to what

[livid idol]

Def ask for more than msrp if it's fhr. Some miner will snatch that up for $1200 easy.

[vital oriole]

that's what i said no to

just abuse the market kek

max profit

[normal hawk]

Ye

I've seen people trade 3080 ti's for FHR 3080's but mines used.

[heady turtle]

Used doesn't matter full stop really

[vital oriole]

miners knows it'll quickly pay off anyway

[granite juniper]

would it be worth grabbing a 2070s because how bad prices are rn? see one for 460ish, sold my 1070 ti for 450 when the market started going crazy (got it for 235) and 3060ti/70 prices are still bad

[timid narwhal]

what do you have now?

[granite juniper]

a borrowed 1650s

[heady turtle]

GIGABYTE GV-N308TAORUS M-12GD AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Video Card for $1649.99 on shuffle why is this 3080 Ti so much cheaper?

[heady turtle]

What do you mean?

Cheaper than what?

[green harness]

Huh, that's an overpriced 80Ti imo

[heady turtle]

Well basically all but fe are overpriced (even including market inflation)

[green harness]

The ones around 1400 like the FTW3 are still too much for it imo, but it's "reasonable" for the market I guess

1700+ for an 80Ti is ridiculous imo

[heady turtle]

Lol because strix tax

It's entirely possible your gpu just has a zero rpm mode when it's cool

Most modern GPU's do.

[livid idol]

Yeah but this one in particular is a 1070, right around when they started doing that

[heady turtle]

[late haven]

Could dm me an offer

[violet prawn]

yea

[livid idol]

This is not an upgrade. 6900XT is about equal to a 3090. You'd only get slightly better ray tracing and dlss.

[late haven]

Im upgrading TO the 6900xt

Startin to get into overclocking

[livid idol]

Right, I misread that then. But it's still not really an upgrade. Maybe 3-5% better on average.

[late haven]

I just care abt the numbers tbh

Tryna get that good timespy score

[magic wing]

wait for a 3090ti then

[late haven]

Hell no

[violet prawn]

LMFAO

3090ti

[livid idol]

3090 tie will have better memory bandwidth for those juicy numbers

[late haven]

I think im good for now

Prolly sell it later this year

Then get a 40/7000 series

Or maybe not

Idk

Dont wanna end up without a gpu

[ivory herald]

Pre-2017, 0fan mode was somewhat rare.

[wooden fern]

any good budget graphics card's My Budget is 2 dolla- I'm just kidding, around $300-450 budget

[cerulean rover]

hope for a 3060 (maybe 3050 later) at a reasonable price

[wooden fern]

K

was honestly thinking on staying up till midnight to get 3050

[vocal lion]

what would the 3050 be good for?

[normal hawk]

60fps 1080p on modern games

Higher on eSports titles of course

[vocal lion]

oof

lol

[normal hawk]

It's not an oof

[heady turtle]

3050 is looking meh imo, I'd get a 1070/1070 ti/2060 super/1080/2070/1080 ti/2070 super instead -used ofc or a 3060/6600xt new

[wooden fern]

oh really dang

[normal hawk]

3060 and 6600xt are above their budget. But yeah

[heady turtle]

No you can get them from 350-450

[wooden fern]

pardon

[normal hawk]

O.o do you mean in a best buy drop?

[wooden fern]

oh that makes sense\

[heady turtle]

Bb drop, amd.com, evga etc

[cerulean rover]

dlss tho

It is meh, but 1660 level still isn't bad

[heady turtle]

Dlss is only in a handful of games still

[normal hawk]

1. Might not live by a best buy

2. EVGA queue isn't open anymore.

[cerulean rover]

DLSS is neat for what games do have it

[normal hawk]

AMD direct is iffy

[heady turtle]

Yeah but can't rely on it

[cerulean rover]

But when you have dlss, it is great

[heady turtle]

Yes

[normal hawk]

I watch amd direct and have never been able to catch a drop :(

[heady turtle]

Just can't bet on it yet

[normal hawk]

Oh, also, amd direct doesn't have 6600xt or 6600

There are no reference models of them. Same will be for the 6500xt, only AIB's

[wooden fern]

i find it funny that rtx 3060 is same price as gtx 1070 ti

[heady turtle]

Oh shoot your right, well anyway yeah it's possible through shuffle and bb drops anyway

[normal hawk]

AMD hasn't been in a shuffle for a long while

[heady turtle]

Well what price you quoting there ?

[normal hawk]

And the cheapest 3060 I've seen in the shuffle was 479$

[heady turtle]

Oh really? Can't check cuz it's locked to US

[normal hawk]

Asus TuF dual

[wooden fern]

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-gtx-1070-ti-gtx-1070-ti-gaming-8g/p/1FT-0009-005N6?Description=1070 ti&cm_re=1070_ti-_-1FT-0009-005N6-_-Product

and

[cerulean rover]

cheapest I've seen is 330 on launch, cheapest I've seen with some consistency is 400

(EVGA 3060 xc)

[normal hawk]

Yeah, amd cards are generally in stock on Newegg. But with raised AIBs

[normal hawk]

Oh, i know there ARE 3060's that are below that. They just aren't commonly in the shuffle

[wooden fern]

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3060-gv-n3060gaming-oc-12gd/p/N82E16814932402?Description=rtx 3060&cm_re=rtx_3060-_-14-932-402-_-Product&quicklink=true

[heady turtle]

Yikes, i would email that too
[e-mail]

[cerulean rover]

I got one at one point

[wooden fern]

gtg

[craggy cape]

All graphics cards are perversely overpriced… retailers charging scalper prices and NewEgg is no exception.

[cerulean rover]

Not really retailers, third party sellers

[craggy cape]

Yes retailers too

[cerulean rover]

Unless you're talking about amd aib partners doing their thing and just pushing prices higher

but that's no fault of the retailer, that's fault of the aib partner

[normal hawk]

Today they had 3 3060's in the shuffle. Cheapest was 479$ gigabyte gaming.

Even the Asus Phoenix (single fan) is 499 😅

[heady turtle]

Also amd raised the msrps of cards too tbf

[cerulean rover]

sad

yea its kinda sad on the amd side

[long forge]

Is MSI Ventus triple fan 3080 ti for $2099 reasonable?

Canadian

[normal hawk]

How much is that in USD

[long forge]

$1660

EVGA FTW3 is better right?

[cerulean rover]

Yes

[long forge]

I think it’s $2200 for the EVGA one

[cerulean rover]

Ventus 3x is like barely acceptable kinda tier

[normal hawk]

Ventus 3x is Msi's low end for the higher end cards

Its close to reference but with meh cooling.

[heady turtle]

No

Only reason to get ventus would be if it was significantly cheaper or if it was cheaper and you were going to waterblock anyway

[sudden kraken]

i keep seeing the 6600 XT show up for $600 on sites is that worth? i feel like its not

[heady turtle]

No

[sudden kraken]

think i see the normal 6600 for like 460 too

im suffering

[heady turtle]

Absolute max I'd pay if i was super desperate would be 500

If you have trouble trying to find gpus check the pins

[sudden kraken]

ahhh gotcha

ive had this 1050ti for awhile and ive been searching for an upgrade for about a year or so now

[long forge]

How about $1800 for EVGA FTW3 3080

Canadian again

[cerulean rover]

Too high I'd say

[heady turtle]

1800 cad?

That's alright

[long forge]

Yeah $1800 cad

[heady turtle]

That's pretty good compared to 3080 ti pricing

[long forge]

And asus ROG strix 3080 for $2000 Canadian?

Is there a big difference between the ROG vs EVGA FTW3?

[heady turtle]

Sorry thought that said 3080 ti, that price is badddd

[heady turtle]

Incredibly worse

[heady turtle]

It can be white

[long forge]

Wait so for 3080 it’s expensive?!? Oh noo

Well In stores it’s really expensive lol $1499 plus tax is already $1700-1800

[heady turtle]

Yeah that's way too much

3080 should be like 1000-1200 cad or so

[normal hawk]

How desperate are you for a GPU?

[wooden fern]

very

[long forge]

Very waiting so long since 11/26 Black Friday lol

[long forge]

Are you sure those prices are super low

[heady turtle]

Yeah that should be around retail price, excluding tax that is so maybe 1100-1300

[rough pasture]

What is the best integrated graphics apu?

[wooden fern]

ryzen 7 5700G

my bad I meant to say iNtEl UhD

[heady turtle]

Except Ryzen 7 5700g is meh price/perf and only slightly better than ryzen 5 5600g for way more money

[wooden fern]

true, prob go for that

only reason I got the 5700g is cause it was on sale

[rough pasture]

When getting a apu should you get a high amount of ram?

[heady turtle]

Speed is more important

[keen nacelle]

what apu are you getting?

and what are you planning on doing with the pc?

and are you going to add a dedicated gpu later on?

[rough pasture]

ryzen 7 5700G

sorry I meant Ryzen 7 5700G

[wooden fern]

Are you getting that because I said to, if so ryzen 5 5600g is a better price to performance

[keen nacelle]

^^

id get 5600g over 5700g

[rough pasture]

ryzen 5 5600

[keen nacelle]

the apu is very similar

and the single core performance is also similar

only performance difference is the multi core, because of the two extra cores 5700g has

[keen nacelle]

g or x

[rough pasture]

g

[keen nacelle]

im guessing g since you said apu

alr

whats the budget for ram?

one sec

im asking pato smthn

[wooden fern]

@rough pasturegood budget ram I would go for is https://www.newegg.com/oloy-16gb/p/N82E16820821245?Description=Oloy 2x8&cm_re=Oloy_2x8-_-20-821-245-_-Product

[keen nacelle]

disagree

[wooden fern]

0_0

[keen nacelle]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NKYM62D?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

3600c18 ram tends to be worse than 3200c16

because of subtimings

[wooden fern]

fair

[keen nacelle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LfVG3C/crucial-ballistix-max-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-4000-memory-blm2k8g40c18u4b theres also this

[rough pasture]

200 US dollors is my budget

[keen nacelle]

i believe it beats 3200c16 but dont quote me on that

[keen nacelle]

for the ram?

[rough pasture]

yep

ddr4

[wooden fern]

oh really

[wooden fern]

well in that case

[keen nacelle]

wait for someone elses opinon though

[wooden fern]

dangit I was about to link that

[rough pasture]

what would be a good motherboard pair for the apu and the ram?

[ivory herald]

I think that's what I recently ordered at Pato's suggestion 👍 . $133 for 32GB is pretty good. Anything much "better" is often quite expensive.

[rough pasture]

Based on your suggestions is this a good build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gdQd8J

[keen nacelle]

are you adding a gpu later on?

also the se-224xt is cheaper and i think just as good

as the 212

[rough pasture]

I don't know I'm building for a frend

[keen nacelle]

if he isnt adding a gpu later on the psu is overkill

and even if he is i doubt hed be adding smthn as power hungry as a 3080 or so

so the psu is prolly overkill

[honest hound]

Scored a 3060 at bestbuy

[normal hawk]

Nice

[wooden fern]

lucky

nice

[woeful ore]

hey does anyone have a GPU newer and better than the GTX 960?? i dont have much money and would like to buy one at a resonable price:)

[brisk flame]

sorry no buying or selling here

look around craigslist and fb marketplace for local listings

you can sometimes find a decent deal

also r/hardwareswap on reddit

This considered reasonable $2380 for 3080 ti?

[ivory herald]

3x the price of a 2080, uh not to me.

[green harness]

No

[long forge]

Canadian though guys

Is that model lower end or something?

[green harness]

1900 usd is not reasonable for a 3080 Ti imo

[livid idol]

2k cad max. Any higher and you're getting into 3090 range.

[long forge]

What price range is reasonable I gotta write it down I keep asking

3080 - $1500 cad?
3080 Ti - $2000 cad?
3090 - $2500 cad?

[livid idol]

Roughly, about there. 3080 is a little high but it's also much higher demand.

[long forge]

If I could find anything for that price…

[vocal lion]

:(

[runic crypt]

can some artists make use of multiple gpus?

if they can get a hold of them

[little sleet]

depending on what youre doing ye, but for the most part just 1 gpu is more than enough

[livid idol]

If you're doing detailed 3D rendering sure

[dreamy dragon]

Joeyツ#7760 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[steady locust]

is there a risk buying GTX 1080 Ti for a SFF PC

[steady locust]

risks like not fitting

[heady turtle]

Depends on the case

And the model of 1080 ti

[steady locust]

size?

[heady turtle]

Just which case you choose in general

Some are good about which gpus you can fit, some are specific

[steady locust]

people recommended 1650 low profile but i don like it so

.

[ivory herald]

Yeah that case looks too skinny for a normal full sized card, but tough to tell from this small pic. Whatcha think Pato? ---PSU is a possible issue also

[heady turtle]

Ohh that's not sff that's just oem box

[vital oriole]

the pc only fits low profile cards

and the psu is an issue but something like 1650 lp wouldn't have any issues

[ivory herald]

Sorry to burst your bubble Flickie

[vital oriole]

1080ti won't fit in such an oem system

[steady locust]

1080 ti mini itx?

[vital oriole]

no

it won't fit still

that's not low profile

and even then, the psu won't have enough wattage to work

[heady turtle]

1650 low profile is all you're going to fit in it when they come out as they don't need external power

And your power supply won't have external power for it

No way you can put a 1080 ti in there without swapping power supply, most likely motherboard and definitely case and cpu cooler

[steady locust]

i didnt know motherboard is replaceable

[heady turtle]

It is

[heady turtle]

What cpu do you have?

[steady locust]

i5 7600K

[heady turtle]

If it's easy to find or not is different question

[heady turtle]

They gave you a k cpu and no gpu? Weird

[steady locust]

prebuilt

[heady turtle]

Still weird

[steady locust]

intel hd 630

[heady turtle]

K cpus are meant for overclocking

They usually don't put them in prebuilts without gpus

Anyway yeah unless you find a used motherboard you're a bit screwed there, i think @vital oriole mentioned a regular power supply, 24 pin atx to hps proprietary one tho

That would require the side panel to be taken off tho

[steady locust]

i havent try taking off side panel lmao

[heady turtle]

When i say this i mean, not putting it back on again, the power supply would probably stick out and the gtx 1080 ti definitely would

[steady locust]

oh

ic

[vital oriole]

yee

you can power hp systems with oem psus with atx psu

with those adapter thingies

[turbid stream]

If my 2060 super does this is it repairable?

gigabyte 3 fans

[cerulean rover]

Are you sure it's not a screen problem first?

Or cable

If you are sure, the usual ddu & new drivers

[turbid stream]

i am 100% sure its not a screen problem bcs i tested it on other monitors and pc or cable

what is ddu

[cerulean rover]

Display driver uninstaller

[turbid stream]

ok ill try that

[lone pond]

can i upgrade to a 2070 with a amd cpu?

[magic wing]

how does having an amd cpu have anything to do with what gpu u can use

[vital oriole]

^

[lone pond]

idk just wondered

[lone pond]

stfu ur a furry

[vital oriole]

im a furry but i give people decent advices

lol

[heady turtle]

Please respect the rules

[vital oriole]

well anyway

[heady turtle]

They're answering your question least you could do is be an ok person to them jeez

[vital oriole]

i hope that 2060 was just driver issue

cause if it's really gpu dying then rip

especially with market rn lmao

[heady turtle]

Could well be, or could just be one port dying too

[vital oriole]

ye

[magic wing]

how does it feel to know a "furry" knows a 100x more about stuff than you do

gotta be embarrasing

to make fun of someone

while knowing nothing about the core focus of the server ur in

[little sleet]

youre speaking to air rn since i kicked him

[magic wing]

rude

i wanted to tease him

:(

[little sleet]

if he comes back and starts talking like that again then ping me or if Foxy if he dms you anything bad send me a screenshot

when can i make fun of him tho

i missed the memo on that bit

I have a chance to get a gtx 980 for about $220 it has three fans and is in great condition should I buy it? Or should I look for a gtx 970 the lowest I'm finding for those are about $190

[opal hawk]

well what are you gonna be doing @still frigate

[still frigate]

1080P gaming maybe some 1440p in lighter games

@magic wing ^^^

[long forge]

Someone selling rog strix white 3090 for $2500 Canadian but without receipt is there a way to check if it’s legit by serial number?

[stable crane]

Would a rtx 2060 work with a ryzen 5 3600, like so they won’t bottleneck each other? Also how much ram should i get with this combination

[little sleet]

theyll be fine but try to shoot for something better if you can depending where you live and your budget. 16gb of ram (2x8) is good enough for most people

[still frigate]

Shouldn't bottleneck from what I understand but if you are just gaming I would so 16 GB if you are going to be doing a lot of task then maybe 32 but I dont think you'll need

[magic wing]

id buy

[still frigate]

I just won the bid :)

$223

[magic wing]

Not too bad at all

[still frigate]

I'm pretty happy

I've got my case my case fans and now the hardest part the GPU

[long forge]

Same boat missing GPU and mobo but mobo is faster

Open box no receipt, how can I tell legit and not very used? $2500 Canadian is that reasonable?

[magic wing]

dont hold out for 1440p btw

not gonna be a good time

[still frigate]

Wdym

[magic wing]

gtx980 wont have a good time at 1440p

[still frigate]

Oh really?

[magic wing]

yeah

[still frigate]

So stick to 1080p

[magic wing]

yeah

itll do some games at 1440p

like csgo minecraft and stuff like that

[still frigate]

Oh good because I play games like that more than high demanding games

[heady turtle]

nah the only one thats "glitchy" is rx 5000 series

but its more driver crashes

[dry thicket]

so what are some tips to try and get my hands on a 3000 series?

[opal hawk]

ah ok, because every now and then my card will just bug the crap out when i restart my pc

[heady turtle]

[long forge]

Is there a way to tell a fake 3090?

[heady turtle]

then use ddu, theres a guide in the pins

[heady turtle]

they spray painted it blue?

[long forge]

Maybe just lighting

$2500 cad cash I’m just scared it’s fake or very used or something

Otherwise not a bad deal

[heady turtle]

nah def not just lighting

[rustic pulsar]

ask if they can run a timespy benchmark with it, have them video the entire thing with their phone from them putting in the gpu to them putting it back in the box

[prime sigil]

Hello all, I'm in desperate need of a Blender-friendly graphics card at a reasonable price (not giving scalpers any business) for education purposes. We are relying more and more on 3D modelling for anatomy labs and our hardware is a bit wanting. Anyone has any recommendation for how to go about it?

[normal hawk]

Budget?

[prime sigil]

I'd like to stay below $750 if possible

[normal hawk]

and will this be going into an existing PC? or are you building a pc for this purpose

[prime sigil]

Existing

Otherwise I'd have jumped on the bundles that Newegg offers... sadly

[normal hawk]

Ah

[prime sigil]

If anyone wants the mobo and cpu I'd be happy to sell them, ha!

[prime sigil]

Sigh, I know

[normal hawk]

lol

Well I mean more of if it was a new PC newegg has prebuilts with 3060's in them for like 1100$ sometimes

[prime sigil]

The University of Alberta's budget for this kind of thing is laughable

[prime sigil]

Thx, I'll keep an eye out

[normal hawk]

oh you meant budget was 750 CAD huh?

[prime sigil]

Well, the cards out of stock are listed below $700 CAD, not that it means anything if you can't buy it...

I just thought even an older GTX might do the trick

[normal hawk]

yeah it would

[prime sigil]

RTX would be golden

[normal hawk]

you could probably get a used 980/1070/1080 on ebay

[prime sigil]

Thx Top, I'll check those out

[ivory herald]

1080 should be doable at $700 CAD or less, but I'd still start with searches for that because of it's price/performance relative to 1070/980. Plus, much lower power usage vs 980.

[heady turtle]

no, 1 its out of stock, 2 you can easily get a 980 ti/1070/1070 ti for that

[royal kernel]

ok thanks

which would be the cheapest

[heady turtle]

theyre all around the same price but if you wanted something cheaper again, gtx 970/gtx 1060 6gb /980

[royal kernel]

also all of the 980s i see on newegg are several hundred dollars more than this

[heady turtle]

check ebay, r/hardwareswap, facebook marketplace

[royal kernel]

ah ok

[ivory herald]

Tinted bad is quite common tbh. Removing from the bad would've solved a bunch of worry 😅

should i get the 3060 ti or a 1660 ti?

[cerulean rover]

3060ti is way better, so what price constraints do you have?

[supple linden]

You can’t even really compare the 2, they’re so different and the ampere cards are on another level

[random bluff]

300-400

[supple linden]

What country

[random bluff]

us

[supple linden]

Because that isn’t going anywhere in the us

I’d say go for the 1660

[cerulean rover]

Yea unless you're really lucky not going to get a 3060ti at 400$

[supple linden]

You probably ain’t even gonna get a 3060 for that

[cerulean rover]

If 3060ti can be obtained somehow, it's way better, but need BB drop

[supple linden]

Or sleep outside of Best Buy for 15 months

Ez

[random bluff]

alright ty for the help guys!

[supple linden]

Look at 1070/1070ti/1080/1080ti sometimes they’re cheaper than 1660’s

Here in the uk they are anyways

[random bluff]

what websites woudl you use for gpus

[supple linden]

eBay/fb marketplace r/hardwareswap

Buying new unless it’s a drop isn’t worth it nowadays

Unless you want to waste hundreds of dollars

[normal hawk]

if you live near a Game Stop they might have GPU's in stock. Won't show them online though

[mental garnet]

This better than GTX 770.yeah ?

[royal kernel]

im guessing so

bruh

this game Whos Your Daddy from 2015 is making my 3080 scream for its life

[long forge]

Buy from me where you located lol

[lone pond]

It’s against the rules

.

[long forge]

😂😂😂

[lone pond]

us

[long forge]

Yeah I’m from Canada loool too far

[steep dove]

does anyone know what the thermal pad thickness for an evga rtx 3080 xc3 ultra gaming is?

[heady turtle]

A lot

[heady turtle]

That's very good for a white strix 3090 sheesh

[west flax]

Got a question if someone can answer. How much could I sell my used 3080 Ti Strix OC for?

[heady turtle]

Depends, if black strix, about 2.2k probably, white strix ad 200$

[west flax]

Thank you, I really appreciate it

[heady turtle]

No prob

[prisma cradle]

how

[thin musk]

nice

[violet prawn]

bruh why would u resell it its 1600 UD for a strix white which is msrp OR EVEN under MSRP ur mad lucky u even got to touch one of those sexy white gpus keep it

[long forge]

I know but what if you can make money back from it? And then just buy another one, I kinda want something lower like 3080 lol or 3080 ti

[violet prawn]

what cpu do u have?

[long forge]

12900kf

[violet prawn]

and any prefrence on what brand ur gpu comes from?

[violet prawn]

sick

[long forge]

Yeah I prefer asus Rog strix and evga only

[violet prawn]

hmmm

i mean with ur i9 it would be a great balance withe the 3090 u have

[long forge]

I have someone with evga FTW3 3080 for $1800 cad cash brand new sealed

A little higher cost but the money profiting should be able to cover?

[violet prawn]

idk ur choice

but that 3090 is special

if i was you i would keep it

[karmic crag]

is 550w for a 3070 pushing it?

[heady turtle]

Mb they needed money quick?

[heady turtle]

Depends with what cpu and power supply model

[karmic crag]

good point. i5-10400 + cx 550

[heady turtle]

Ohh and depends a bit what model 3070 cuz different tdps but it should be okay

[karmic crag]

good to know, thanks

i was under the impression that different gpu models didn't vary that much in tdp though?

i could be wrong

[heady turtle]

They do, especially the higher end ones, for example my gigabyte gaming oc's tdp is 220w, the vision oc is 270w

[karmic crag]

oh wow ok

noted

which models have tdp ratings on the lower side?

[leaden vault]

I had a 650w with my 3070 when I first got it and the power supply was pretty noisy. So if noise is an issue for you beware

[karmic crag]

ah alright

thanks

[heady turtle]

Founders, and the lower end aib cards probs, tech power up, Databases, vga bios collection, filter by 3070's and you can see in the details, board power limit

[heady turtle]

Depends what power supply, 650w is plenty especially if it's a good one

[leaden vault]

Mine was Corsair

[heady turtle]

That's brand, not model

[leaden vault]

CX-m

[heady turtle]

Cxm is c tier, meh

[leaden vault]

Just do some research first, unlike I did with that power supply 😉

[toxic hamlet]

Would you rather be bottlenecked by cpu or gpu?

[livid idol]

Bottleneck is a broad term, and what component is bottlenecking varies by game.
There's games that push the gpu really hard like cyberpunk 2077, but then there's games that rely heavily on single core cpu performance like cs:go.
In general and overall, (depending on what you play most) it's often better to be cpu bottlenecked.

[heady turtle]

What did you think i said?

[gloomy nova]

Anybody here good at suggesting graphics cards?

[heady turtle]

What's your budget?

[gloomy nova]

About $500, maybe a little more depending on performance

[livid idol]

That's about retail price for a 3060 or founder's edition 3060 ti. AMD equivalent would be about a 6600XT or 6700.

[gloomy nova]

Would it be better to get an AMD card for CrossFire with my Ryzen 5600G?

[livid idol]

No, 99% of modern games can't use that

[gloomy nova]

Yeah, but I'm saying would it make any difference?

[livid idol]

Not really. With an amd platform you could enable "rage mode" which is just an increased power budget. Poor man's overclock.

[gloomy nova]

Could a Noctua cooler made for Threadrippers handle that?

It was the NH-D14 I believe

[livid idol]

Rage mode has no impact on the cpu whatsoever

[gloomy nova]

It's integrated graphics, keep that in mind

Cooling for the CPU will directly translate for the integrated graphics

[livid idol]

5600g can make do with much less than a noctua cooler

It's a low power, low heat chip

[gloomy nova]

Eh, I guess It has a decent ceiling for overclocking then

I could undervolt the CPU and overclock the integrated graphics since it's like a tug of war situation

But at that point would it help with the dedicated GPU from AMD compared to just getting an Nvidia card?

[livid idol]

Best thing you can do for the integrated graphics is max out your memory speed. You should be able to do around 4000c16 with a good b-die kit.

The integrated gpu won't be helping the dedicated gpu at all in almost any task

[gloomy nova]

I have 32 GB of g skill made for 3200 Mhz

[gloomy nova]

So just focus on a graphics card that won't work with the aided help of the integrated graphics?

[livid idol]

Yeah, forget crossfire. There's very few modern games that use it at all.

[gloomy nova]

C15 if I remember correctly

[gloomy nova]

Okay, so maybe I should get something like the 3060 TI?

[livid idol]

If you can find a 3060 ti then you can expect it to be around $600-650, unless you get lucky at best buy and find a founders edition at $400.

[gloomy nova]

But would you recommend that card being the best considering I want to run something like Cyberpunk 2077?

[livid idol]

Well, even a 3060 non-ti or 6600XT can do 1080p high settings in that

[gloomy nova]

Alright, I'll check the GPU prices over the course of the next month, thank you

[livid idol]

You only really need to go higher if you plan on going higher resolution

[gloomy nova]

Nope, I only plan on doing 1080p 60fps for every game

[livid idol]

Then a 3060 is more than enough

[gloomy nova]

Okay

[topaz prairie]

What is a good card for the ryzen 5 3600

[livid idol]

That'll run fine with just about anything

[topaz prairie]

Should i get like a 3060?

[little sleet]

just depends on your budget and where youre located

[topaz prairie]

Well with scalpers its gonna be a ton more

Should i get like a 2060 or 2070

[normal hawk]

Try r/hardwareswap, eBay or Facebook marketplace

[topaz prairie]

Alright

[little sleet]

^

however if you do want to buy a new pc and build one yourself with a 30 series gpu, nzxt has a pretty good BLD KIT at a decent price however id recommend changing out the psu

assuming youre in the US, dont know what the price of it is outside of the US

[topaz prairie]

I already got a pc. Trying to upgrade from my 1050ti

And I dont really want to switch it out or sell it

[normal hawk]

You're going to keep the 1050 ti?

[topaz prairie]

Trying to get a better gpu

I could just get a 1050ti at the time

[normal hawk]

Huh

[topaz prairie]

I have a 1050ti but i want to sell it to upgrade

[normal hawk]

Then why say this?

[little sleet]

think he meant his entire pc vs just the gpu

[topaz prairie]

Did get what you mean

Ohh

Yea I only want to change the gpu

Aint no way the 1660 is 500

[normal hawk]

Yeah it's not a good market right now

[topaz prairie]

Didnt think it was THAT much

[little sleet]

its not, its just prices right now are messed up because of demand and stuff

[topaz prairie]

How many people want a 1660

[normal hawk]

A lot of people just want a GPU

[topaz prairie]

True

I got my 1050ti for like 120 at the time

[normal hawk]

You can sell it for like 175+ i think

Which model 1050 ti do you have?

[topaz prairie]

4 gig

[heady turtle]

Aren't they're all 4gb

[normal hawk]

I'm more of asking like what brand + model it is.

Depending on that it could be anywhere between 150$ and 200$. Lol

[topaz prairie]

Its 280 now

And out of stock

[normal hawk]

Don't go by Newegg prices. Those are gross

[topaz prairie]

Well i got it by newegg

Yea cost me 150 subtotal

[heady turtle]

Doesn't matter, prices are inflated atm

[normal hawk]

Uhhh Newegg? https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3090-gv-n3090turbo-24gd/p/N82E16814932487

[topaz prairie]

HOLY

[normal hawk]

Blower 3090 for 3000$?

It's pretty...but still

[livid idol]

Is bargain
Must buy
Go fur it

[topaz prairie]

Thats like 3x what my pc cost

[normal hawk]

It's around 1k less than my PC

Lol. Looking more into it. It's a 2x8 pin 3090.

[livid idol]

Oooof
I know that pain too well

At least mine was only $2500 and included a liquid cooler

[normal hawk]

The ventus 3x as well, which is also 2999 on Newegg, sold and shipped by Newegg lol

[leaden vault]

To think I could sell my Strix 3070 for near $2,000 when I got it for $750... crazy times

[heady turtle]

Not 2k

1.5 if it's white, 1.3 if it's not

[leaden vault]

Ah, haven't checked for a while. Was closer to $2,000 when I first got it around a year ago

[ivory herald]

Delusions of grandeur

[normal hawk]

Even full hash rate 3070?

[heady turtle]

Maybe like 200 more for fhr?

[normal hawk]

Ah okay lol. Cause they would have a FHR one

[leaden vault]

Yeah it's FHR

[heady turtle]

Been a while since i checked tho tbh

[leaden vault]

I sold my 2070FE for around $800 when I got that 3070 so I actually kinda made $50 lmao

[rustic pulsar]

I have turned a 2060 +$300 into a 3070 ti hehe

2060 --> 3060 --> 6600xt --> 3070 --> 3070 ti

[normal hawk]

how?

[cerulean rover]

Reselling prob, maybe EVGA step up in the end

[rustic pulsar]

reselling @normal hawk

nope all reselling

[normal hawk]

crazy

[elfin acorn]

Would a 3060 be worth it for 519 ? I'm so confused on prices on different company and the difference in prices compare to Nvidia

[livid idol]

$519 isn't too bad in this market.

[normal hawk]

Wait a minute

Gigabyte doesn't have a RTX 3090 Turbo on their website

so where is this from? https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3090-gv-n3090turbo-24gd/p/N82E16814932487?Item=N82E16814932487

last turbo was the 2080 ti I thought

Oh I see, they had it and removed it from their website as they were repurposing the coolers for mining cards

[cerulean rover]

That's the model puget systems ran 4x in a system with :D
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Quad-GeForce-RTX-3090-in-a-desktop---Does-it-work-1935/

[normal hawk]

ye

[rustic pulsar]

Hehe

[normal hawk]

Don't do it

Actually i wonder. It's the same price as the Venus 3x 😅 so which is a better deal? Lmao

Blower fan or ventus 3x, both are 2x8pins

[long forge]

Is EVGA FTW3 3080 for $1800 cad. That bad?

[vital oriole]

yes

ftw3 also sucks

[long forge]

Oh really how about FTW3 3080 Ti? $2400 cad

[vital oriole]

i would avoid evga in this gen myself

[long forge]

So what do you recommend?

[vital oriole]

i would just stick to that strix 3090 you got

[long forge]

What is the tiers' for GPUs? obviously ROG strix is the best right?

[vital oriole]

yeah

apart from like kingpin from evga

that stuff is hybrid tho, has an aio

[normal hawk]

Aorus extreme is the highest tier from Gigabyte. Dunno where it falls in with the other flagship models.

[lone pond]

I need help! I upgraded from a 1060 to a 3080. The cord to the power supply is different. How do I know which to use, any that fit?

[normal hawk]

ah, you need a 12pin cable for the gpu.

[lone pond]

I have a bunch that look like they will fit that came with my power supply. What, anything that fits?

These 3 look like they will fit and it needs 2

[normal hawk]

wait, can I see the 3080?

[normal hawk]

you'll find 6+2 pin cables in the bag too, those are the ones it'll use.

they'll have a block of 6 and then 2 off the side. those that you have there look like 4+4 and those are for the CPU

[lone pond]

These 2?

I can take a better picture but I think you can see them in these

[normal hawk]

ye

the side that you have in the first pic goes to the PSU, the other side to the GPU

[lone pond]

Which end goes into the card, the split ends or the fixed?

[normal hawk]

the split end, but you should use two separate cables

[lone pond]

Thank you so much!

[normal hawk]

np

[long forge]

Oops not sure if it makes much difference but its the EVGA FTW3 Ultra model...

[normal hawk]

No difference. Just keep what you have lol

[magic wing]

how

in

the

...

[livid idol]

That must have taken a lot of force to bend metal like that

[timid narwhal]

that for an ITX build?

[magic wing]
