[keen nacelle]

Lol

[normal hawk]

And ebay

[keen nacelle]

Ebay sure

[charred raft]

And someone could of been abusing the 970 for 5years

[keen nacelle]

And im not saying that they aren't scalped

I'm saying that miners don't care for the 4gb models

Because they can't mine eth, the most profitable coin to mine

[heady turtle]

Doesn't matter thho

[ivory herald]

No the thing is current 970 owners sure as heck aren't getting the 6500 XT

https://tenor.com/view/pathetic-pathetique-pathetox-cat-gif-17249104

[normal hawk]

We aren't saying people should upgrade to it

[heady turtle]

980 would kick the 6500xt's ass they did something wrong there

[normal hawk]

I'm more of saying if you do not have a gpu it could potentially be a decent buy.

Really depends on the games you play.

[charred raft]

When is it supposed to release?

Will be interesting to see if driver updates improve the perf

As all AMD do improve with updates

[ivory herald]

970 still being a fair $170ish option vs this is the funny part though. Of course, we'd all rather not buy 3+ year old cards. Imagine if a gpu had runtime stats like hdds/ssds

[charred raft]

GTX 970 came out 8 years ago

Pretty oof that it's still better than the low end tbh

[ashen nacelle]

I bet bestbuy will restock tomorrow

[heady turtle]

Now

[charred raft]

Lol

The cheapest is $280

That's used GTX 980 territory right?

[ivory herald]

980 ti almost. Also

[charred raft]

Huge difference dang! Was that CSGO test ran at pcie 4.0?

This one

[ivory herald]

Idk. Csgo is more a cpu benchmark almost lol

[charred raft]

Lol my 1650 super is equivalent to the RX 6500xt

[heady turtle]

Easily ye

[heady turtle]

All where i believe

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-laugh-kek-intensifies-kek_intensifies-gif-10111909

[charred raft]

No way

It would be better to buy a GTX 770 (4GB version)

That's just sad

9yo midrange gpu

[ashen nacelle]

Why is the 3060ti above the 3080

Is the 3080 just worse

[charred raft]

something is fishy here, that should be impossible

[long forge]

if CSGO is heavily on CPU, would I be ok to use 12900kf with GTX 980 for a bit and wait out on the GPU market to return back to earth? this was my last resort

[ivory herald]

Yes, 980 is pretty good for csgo anyways. Not a super demanding game overall

[long forge]

yeah right now i play with stretched on a lower reso. lol

and all low settings

LOL

[ivory herald]

Current cpu? 12900kf is a beast & would for sure let you do certain settings maxed ez

[green harness]

It's probably run to run variance with the fps being CPU limited or something.
That or they truly messed up their testing.
The GPUs at 100+ fps are so tightly clustered I wouldn't treat that as any kind of GPU benchmark

You can give the 6500xt an F on that benchmark though I guess

[charred raft]

https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/funny-comics-shubbabang-45-5a954ce1b08d5__880.jpg

Me & my gpu

[heady turtle]

If you're playing 1080p sure

[long forge]

Ok say if i got my 3080 ti or 3080, with 12900kf, im sure ill go all max settings and highest reso but i dont thin kill be used to it, i think i still like 4:3

[heady turtle]

Sorry what?

[long forge]

nvm lol

I play 4 by 3

[sullen panther]

Wait what

[long forge]

yes!!!!!!!!!

[ivory herald]

Better be a crt.

[heady turtle]

4:3 is very popular in csgo

I play 4:3 stretched in csgo

[ivory herald]

On the m27? . Haven't used 4:3 since I had my ViewSonic G90F, lol

[long forge]

You play MM? want to play sometime lol

[heady turtle]

Doesn't matter monitor

[heady turtle]

I do, maybe

[long forge]

4:3 seems to give a better competitve edge

[heady turtle]

It does

[heady turtle]

4:3 stretched is different, fills up the whole screen

[long forge]

PM me if you want to play, i usually try to play with a 5 stack in EU servers now.. too many cheaters on NA servers

[ivory herald]

Just for higher fps? You see more on sides w/ 16:9. Idk, 4:3 feels like nice 2009 nostalgia. Wonder how it looks on a wide LCD

[heady turtle]

Higher fps and easier to see player models

[long forge]

What do pro's use when they have all the high end components?

like resolution etc.

[heady turtle]

Mix of 4:3 regular and stretched, some 16:9, all low/off except Shadows usually

@ivory herald here's a vid to see what 4:3 stretched looks like https://youtu.be/A5xg3-Mq9xg

[naive crest]

Excuse me, I'm kind of new here and I had a question

See, I'm a first time pc builder and I had my eye on a specific gpu, made by msi

I'm concerned about how warranties are handled when buying from third party sources, has anyone here bought an msi card from another person that would know?

[fossil talon]

mood

[naive crest]

Thank you!

[sullen panther]

I get that with my friends

But very relatable

I just say do your own newegg shuffles lmao

[normal hawk]

What are they trying to get you to get lol

[timid narwhal]

Reviews for the 6500xt are in, and boy... it is not good

[normal hawk]

oof

point them to Amazon warehouse deals and let them spend their money there

[marsh hollow]

i play low

[azure ledge]

Should I buy this 3070 for 800 usd?

I’m working out a deal with someone

Lightly used zotac dual fan

[normal hawk]

What are you replacing or is it a completely new build?

[azure ledge]

The 1070

[cerulean rover]

Zotac makes it sad

[azure ledge]

From my current build

[cerulean rover]

If it was anything but a zotac 2x or ventus 2x I'd take it but

Yea

[normal hawk]

eh do you feel like you need an upgrade? if so then yea 800$ ain't terrible in this market

[azure ledge]

Hate this market

[azure ledge]

Yea lol

[cerulean rover]

It's just so much for a bad model

[azure ledge]

Everything is double or even triple

[cerulean rover]

Scalped 3070 decent model is like 900$

[azure ledge]

I’ll see if I can go to like 750

His original price was 900 lol

[normal hawk]

good luck

[fossil talon]

It has arrived

LOL

[normal hawk]

oof

[fossil talon]

One in stock

lol

Price in CAD

[normal hawk]

better than a 3000$ USD 3090

[fossil talon]

oof true

[granite juniper]

what's market price for 3080ti fe?

[velvet grail]

Helo guys
I wanted to create a GPU backplate and I want it to be RGB
Do you guys know any cheap cuttable, addressable and (possibly 4pin) RGB strips?

30cm are enough (I don't think they sell strips that are this short)

[heady turtle]

~2-2.2k probs

[brazen agate]

Is it possible to find any 3060ti in the 800s

[normal hawk]

Oh I guess it did go up

[heady turtle]

Definitely

[brazen agate]

Any lower by chance?

[heady turtle]

Yes

[brazen agate]

Wait fr

[heady turtle]

Yep

[brazen agate]

😱

[heady turtle]

[brazen agate]

So if i get to a microcenter and they restock a 3060ti (for example) it would be a lot cheaper to get in person

[keen nacelle]

yes

but theres no garauntee theyll have any

[brazen agate]

Because i went to the one near me and they had a 3070ti and 3080ti on display

Both were low 1k

🥶

[heady turtle]

Microcenter only do in person

[brazen agate]

So i just gotta email or call my nearest microcenter when they would restock and be there early for when they open

[livid idol]

Pretty much yeah. And not all of them will tell you restock days.

Iirc they're doing a lottery system now at most

[normal hawk]

I got a 3060 ti from microcenter for 529. so it is possible

[brazen agate]

Holyy

😩

Nice

🥶

[long forge]

Is that USD? or CAD?

because in CAD seems alot more lol here and harder to find.

i think US has a bit better supply

exactly...

[brazen agate]

I just contacted the one by me and they say that they get 3000 series cards weekly

And not on weekends

[long forge]

Thats why i might just get this EVGA FTW3 Ultra for $2350 seems like a decent price, everywhere is like $2450/2500. Or even the Asus ROG strix 3080 in white for $2000/$2100 (All CAD)

lucky............

[brazen agate]

That is VALUABLE info

Now i know I should get there before 10 am only on weekdays

[ruby tendon]

6500 xt isn't great but it's available

Just keep refreshing

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/transformers-shia-la-beouf-sam-witwicky-are-you-on-drugs-curious-gif-5137780

[quartz gull]

Do not buy the 6500xt

Wormm

What're you trying to do to yourself

[ruby tendon]

I have a ryzen 7 5800 h, 3060 laptop I'm content for now.

[quartz gull]

I criticized and for only using pcie x8 for the 6600, this is ridiculous

[ruby tendon]

Specs on the 6500 is booty

[quartz gull]

This card is going to age worse than the 4GB 570

Or the 4gb 470 tbh

When bandwidth bound it's somehow slower than the gddr5 version of the 1650...

AMD has became sadistic, they know people will buy it and they just wanna see people suffer

[ruby tendon]

Best buy inflated their prices so for 200 it's meh for now I was just sharing if someone actually wanted it

[quartz gull]

Imagine being slower than a 2019 $160 75 watt card...

That's painful

Imo this is almost as anti consumer as the ddr4 1030

Should have a "This thing will make you feel sad" sticker on the box

[heady turtle]

Embarrassing

[quartz gull]

The 1% lows will make everyone feel miserable probably, imagine all your games having frametimes that bad

Like if just the averages we're lower that's one thing

[heady turtle]

Stupid 64gb/s memory bandwidth like cmon

[quartz gull]

That thing gets lower than 1050ti 1% lows at pcie 3.0

Which is what most budget gamers are on

Things like the 10100f are what a lot of budget gamers are on

Which only supports 3.0

[ruby tendon]

It's pretty weak sauce no lies but even the rx 570 is 170+shipping on ebay to 230 about the same price it's still pretty awful though

[quartz gull]

Well keep in minf

8GB 570 goes for way more so you gotta specify

8GB 570 can mine crypto

[ruby tendon]

Or 400 to 700 on newegg oof (I'm still not going to use it lol) I got a 3060 I'm content with life

[quartz gull]

So you guys see those leaks that Intel has been full scale (100% capacity) manufacturing their arc GPUs for 6+ months now?

It seems they're going to brute force the market

[ruby tendon]

Thatd be nice I've been stalking their website daily waiting probs be till the 27th though or around then

[quartz gull]

It's a perfect time to force yourself into market. Launch 20+ million cards and people will sell them out

And then bam you have market presence instantly

Tbh this is just big brain on Intel's part

They get as much market share as they can produce

Or they'll crash the market and used 3070's will be like $350-400

I just realized AMDs marketing says that 6500xt can do raytracing...

Because it packs the rt cores...

[ruby tendon]

But the rt is trash don't use it kek drops heavy frames

Oof gamers nexus yt channel has a solid review on it

[quartz gull]

And harbor boxed

Or hardware on box?

Forget the name sometimes

[cerulean rover]

unboxed

[left kettle]

My GPU is broken. I have enough money to buy gt 1030, quadro T600 or 6500XT (when it is released). What one should I pick?
OS: ubuntu (I know I know there is no need to shout)
Use cases: Machine learning (jax and tensorflow), blender rendering, light gaming (Minecraft, Dirt 4, wii emulation)

[magic wing]

t600

[velvet grail]

Scary

[slow blaze]

need help finding a gpu thats better then my gtx 1060 3gb and works with my msi 970 gaming mobo

[left kettle]

What are it's benefits?

[magic wing]

easily available and supports all the things you need

theres no telling when ull be able to get the 6500xt

and the 1030 sucks

[left kettle]

How is it's linux performance I can't find anything on it online

[magic wing]

should be great

[left kettle]

Ok sure

[elder condor]

How much would y’all say a used rx 480 is worth I’m not sure if it’s 4gb or 8gb

[plucky crag]

$200-250

[idle idol]

damn the RX 6500 Xt is still worse than RX 580 4GB

RTX 3050 might have a chance then?

[fossil talon]

low expectations for 3050 lol

[ruby tendon]

Was available today on newegg keep refreshing your search and also keep an eye on AMD.com they usually restock Thursday at 7am

[left kettle]

maybe in USA but not in uk (for example)

[heady turtle]

Overclockers uk had stock but you don't wanna buy one anyway

[quartz gull]

apparently the 1030 ddr4 is about the same power as the nintendo switch

Monster hunter rise reccomends that for the nintendo switch preset

Does amd still support crossfire?

I wanna put 4 6500xt in my machine, ultimate power

[low niche]

im having a big problem, i just built a pc and whenever i play a game like apex my monitors glitch out and turn black

is there anyway i could figure out whats going on

my cpu seems fine i have a feeling its my gpu

[tall lichen]

Has anyone ever gotten a GPU from EVGA? I was wondering incase I wasn't able to buy a GPU instantly

[solemn panther]

yes. ive bought 2 underneath the brand

[cosmic bluff]

if you mean during the queue yes ive gotten a 3060ti but it was months after i entered its a slow long wait

[tall lichen]

What's the time window?

[cosmic bluff]

when selected you have 24 hrs

last i checked

[tall lichen]

Ah

[cosmic bluff]

but the wait time is months

[tall lichen]

Fine with me if the current card lasts by then

[tall lichen]

Do you remember how many months it was?

[green harness]

Yes

I have had two queue GPUs come through

One was same day (got in within 12 minutes on the 3080 Ti XC3 queue), the other was a month or two later iirc

[sullen panther]

This notification hurts me

Idk what resolution and settings they used but it still hurts to read that

[wooden fern]

0_0

[brisk flame]

prolly 1080p

[wooden fern]

low

[brisk flame]

yep

[tall lichen]

No good

[hard wren]

I mean its pretty good for a 6500xt I honestly would have expected less

Introducing the new Radeon™ RX 6500 XT graphics card, featuring the breakthrough AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture and engineered to deliver great gaming performance great video watching performance and remarkable efficiency. lol

[sullen panther]

XD omg this is pathetic, I didn't expect it to be that bad

[rustic pulsar]

whats the tdp

107 watts

uhh

i mean it looks to be about a 1660, id assume performace per watt went up a lot since the 1660 came out, so thats sad

[tall lichen]

I guess it's for people really desperate for a card?

[cosmic bluff]

3 months

[tall lichen]

I see

[karmic crag]

outpaced by the 480

[keen nacelle]

Does it even beat 5500xt?

[idle idol]

no

I think AMD apologized for the RX 6500 XT launch

wait nvm,

they're trying to hide the criticism

saying that "4GB VRAM is not enough for games"

which is 100% true,

if it was a 8GB VRAM version then I think it would've been fine and add more PCI lanes to it too.

[dreamy dragon]

VoxdVortx#1931 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[idle idol]

anyways this was pretty much a shitshow for AMD.

I want to see a 10-15 paragraph apology for this abomination of a GPU.

[vital oriole]

they won't

[idle idol]

I'd be surprised if they do apologies.

but yea 99% they won't apologies.

[keen nacelle]

Like

I thought yall were exaggerating

I didn't think it was possible that they'd make such a bad gpu

It's the 1030 of amd but with way too high wattage

Makes me wonder how bad the 6400 (oem only) will be

Only saving grace of the 6500xt would be if it was passively powered

Which it isn't

Was hoping the 3050 would be

[idle idol]

It's because of infinity cache

too much stuttering issues

[keen nacelle]

@vital oriole I was wondering what happens if you put a 100w gpu into a pc and only power it via pcie lane

Would it not work?

Or would it be able to run at 75w

[idle idol]

I think it would run it and boot into windows fine maybe? but if you're about to game then yea you need those VGA PSU cables in the GPU.

I don't think it'll work tbh,

[keen nacelle]

My SO has a 3400g pre built so I'm guessing the power supply isn't exactly up to par

So im wondering if a 3050 would be fine to run via pcie without any external power

[idle idol]

Nvidia says it needs 550W for the RTX 3050,

not sure if they said minimum or reconmended.

[keen nacelle]

My build ran on a 500w white for months

With ocing, no issues

[idle idol]

my half brother has a RTX 3060 ti and he has a 500w, and he said it works fine..

So I guess it'll be fine,

[keen nacelle]

And 3400g isn't exactly power hungry

[idle idol]

Yea it isn't power hungry

I have the 2400g in my build rn

[keen nacelle]

I'd be surprised if a 3400g and 3050 build went over 375w

[idle idol]

overclocked it and max was like 65w

[keen nacelle]

I FOUND COOKIE DOUGH

POG

Anyways, back to gpus

[idle idol]

Yea RX 6500 XT isn't worth the money for a stuttering GPU.

would def go to a RTX 3050

more VRAM,

[keen nacelle]

If I find a 3050 for msrp I'm getting it for my SO

[idle idol]

Nice,

[keen nacelle]

Also still hoping for a 3080 fe

From bb

I mine when I'm not using my pc which is why I want the FE

[idle idol]

128-bit for the RTX 3050,

I think the RX 6500 Xt has like 64 bit?

[keen nacelle]

I dont really need a perf boost, id just get it since jts a free upgrade

Since I have a 1060 that I want to sell and a 1070 in my build I wanted to know if selling them is worth
(I would get about 800€) and with 800 I can buy a 3060...?

Or should I wait for the GPU prices to go down (obviously never)

[normal hawk]

Who are you selling those to to get 800 euros???

[velvet grail]

Random people
XD
There are people buying GTX 1060 6gb for 370€

[normal hawk]

are you in eastern europe?

like Hungary or somethin?

[heady turtle]

They're Italy iirc

[normal hawk]

ah

bad pricing but probably do to Italy's economy, Hungary is a bit worse though.

[heady turtle]

It's high even for eu, but eu has a way worse used market than us

[normal hawk]

true

[keen nacelle]

@lone pond

[velvet grail]

Yes, Italy

[velvet grail]

I noticed the rx6700xt performs better than the 3070 in most cases
And i found the 6700xt at around 800€
Is it a good price?

The only problem would be the processor right? Bottleneck with the 3600x

[green harness]

Ryzen 3600x? That's fine with a 3070. How much is a 3070 where you are? If the 6700xt offers the performance you want at a price that works for you go for it

You may wish to just check if the 6700xt lacks any features you want/need. Nvidia has a better feature set ATM

[velvet grail]

6700xt is 800€ "used"
Vs the 3070 that is 1100€ used

[livid idol]

Dlss is nice but not widely supported

[velvet grail]

6700xt: Min: 800€ avg: 1050€
3070: Min: 900€ avg 1150€

[heady turtle]

That's false, 6700xt is 3060 ti perform

[velvet grail]

https://youtu.be/F3XhR6YivfA

There are some cases where the RX is better than the 3070

[heady turtle]

https://youtu.be/oj8SuJ2Mb6A

[velvet grail]

Pretty similar to the 3070

[heady turtle]

In amd optimised games, rd2 it does, most it's ~3060 ti

[velvet grail]

So is the 3060ti more worth buying?

I can find it at avg:800€ used

Is it a bad price?

[heady turtle]

Yeah

Well i mean 800 for 6700xt also bad price

But not bad considering scalped

[velvet grail]

750 minimum

When will prices drop?
Answer: never.

[livid idol]

It'll take some time, but they will. They're building new fabrication facilities.

[velvet grail]

Like how much time

1 year¿

What's the base price for 3060ti?

[hard wren]

$399 msrp i think lol

$400-550 for third party msrp

[livid idol]

The first facility is scheduled for the end of this year, with a couple more in the middle of next year

[velvet grail]

If I sell the 1060 now i can get 350€

[green harness]

I don't think any AIBs are selling 60Tis at 400 anymore

[hard wren]

I play HOI4 it takes at least 6 months to get that production effeciency up to par lol

[velvet grail]

And I will have 550€ in my wallet

Enough for a 3060ti

In a far future

[hard wren]

yeah asus tuf is the cheapest msrp I see at $459.99

[velvet grail]

Mlm

[green harness]

459.99 is a good bit higher than 400

[livid idol]

Especially down to the consumer end, so optimistically the end of next year will be the official end of the chip shortage

[green harness]

AIB msrps are more like 460-600 I think

[velvet grail]

Even 550$ is 490€

Yay

[ruby tendon]

3060 was available for like $670 US the other day on new egg

[cerulean rover]

But think about hoi4 production efficiency when you add another factory to an existing production line

Since I bought the 3060 to sell it at 370€ is it worth that I sell it now and keep the money for a future 3060ti?

[hard wren]

its because I cant find a Palit GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GamingPro anymore so maybe like you said they just arent making them anymore

[velvet grail]

Will it bottleneck with the 3600x

?

[cerulean rover]

And I don't think any aib doing 400$ 3060ti any more

[hard wren]

thats true there is the retention

[green harness]

Most AIB's stop shipping Nvidia MSRP models shortly after launch (if they ship any at all)

[livid idol]

A 3080 ti won't even bottleneck with a 3600X

[hard wren]

makes sense

[cerulean rover]

I feel like I've seen the Asus tuf around 500$

[velvet grail]

Perfecct

[green harness]

Depends on the settings and game tbf 😆

[hard wren]

oh yeah we were talking msrp not real world prices lol

[livid idol]

If you're using a 3080 ti you better be on 1440p or 4k lol

[cerulean rover]

Ah, I see first party retailer pricing as MSRP

[green harness]

True, but I bet some people are playing CSGO at 1080p on a 3080+

[cerulean rover]

As in, whatever it's on shuffle for, that's probably what I'll be calling msrp

[hard wren]

lol yep

or bestbuys price despite never having stock

[cerulean rover]

I think there was a best buy drop earlier today lol

[livid idol]

Yeah heavily cpu focused games will bottleneck but that's a small number

[hard wren]

I get a pretty nice bottle neck 8700k / 3090

[green harness]

Yeah, Microcenter and BB pricing is a good guage too. Newegg shuffle pricing tends to be just a touch over MSRP for EVGA at least (like $20)

[livid idol]

Probably not too bad tbh, especially if you overclock the 8700k

[hard wren]

8700k is 5.3 all core so its not too bad

[green harness]

There was a BB drop earlier. Seemed bad as usual

[cerulean rover]

Even if you only have a 12900k, you're probably still going to be CPU bound in hoi4, and probably similar results in other strategy games

[hard wren]

hoi4 can bring any cpu to its knees lol

just break russia into a 100 parts

[livid idol]

Those are heavily cache dependent, not just core speed

[green harness]

Considering HOI4 recommends a GTX 570 it's gonna be hard to be GPU bound on that one

[hard wren]

oh yeah its all cpu

its part of the game you have to eliminate other countries to free up cpu resources

[green harness]

Dang, I think I could run HOI4 on my gt 710

[cerulean rover]

I sometimes play hoi4 on uhd 620

And I'm definitely still CPU bound later game

[hard wren]

super fun game though

[cerulean rover]

Have you ever played The New Order or Thousand Week Reich?

They both break up Russia into like 20 parts but aren't hard to run

[hard wren]

not the thousand week reich but I have played the new order and rt56 and kaiserreich

[cerulean rover]

Yea in TNO all of those Russian states gets things to do, and still the mod runs fairly well

[hard wren]

nice

[cerulean rover]

I feel like vanilla is just harder to run for some reason

Lazy ai code maybe

[hard wren]

or its just doing more the ai that is

[cerulean rover]

True, 1000 division ai China

[hard wren]

I played a non historical vanilla one time where I was communist china and facist canada was naval invading spain so you never know what that ai is going to do lol

and by vanilla I still mean with all dlcs turned on

[cerulean rover]

I was playing a game with historical on, playing communist Poland tree from the new DLC, 70% of the German army was in Manchuria

[hard wren]

LOL classic ai germany

[cerulean rover]

(Japan joined axis somehow at some point)

I was just confused at why I was pushing into Germany when they were supposed to have like 300 divisions

[hard wren]

almost as bad as ai italy

[cerulean rover]

I feel like they buffed AI Italy this update

They actually have an army now

[hard wren]

it does seem a little less worthless lately

[cerulean rover]

Now we're just waiting for the mythical Italy focus tree update

[hard wren]

yeah I dont think thats happening anytime soon too many countrys without trees at all that need attention

[cerulean rover]

I think next update is rumored to be south America

[hard wren]

maybe if they fix the middle east they could do italy same time

[cerulean rover]

Oh yea middle east needs some love

And oil

[hard wren]

the oil thing kind of makes sense

they had oil just didn't have the means to extract it

[cerulean rover]

It's correct for the start of the war but they have no way to get the means to produce it in game atm

[hard wren]

I agree with that

[cerulean rover]

Like max excavation tech, yay, you get 5 oil instead of 2

[hard wren]

you just need the west indies no matter who you are lol

even my argentina LOL

[cerulean rover]

Netherlands feels like their only purpose is to give you west indies when they die

Lol

[hard wren]

gotta get that oil

[cerulean rover]

Rubber in west indies is great

[hard wren]

yeah rubber and oil

[cerulean rover]

And Singapore, iirc in the single state it has like oil rubber and tungsten?

[hard wren]

yeah

[ashen nacelle]

Called Best Buy was gonna restock

[normal hawk]

Remind me to get my timestamps for r/hardware swap this weekend

[lone pond]

is a ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6600 OC Edition worth it for 549 cad?

[normal hawk]

oh CAD, maybe lemme check

[heady turtle]

nope

[normal hawk]

a 6600xt or 3060 would be better if available

[lone pond]

well aware of that lol

[fervent knot]

Why does my gpu get passed boot screen the turs to a black screen

[heady stratus]

Check your boot settings in Bios

make sure it's set to the right drive

[fervent knot]

It is I have tested it with another gpu

[heady stratus]

If so your device may be faulty, idk byond that point

[fervent knot]

Well I'm going to see what I can do in safe mode

It says its there

Now it does this next to it

[lone pond]

is the tuf 3080 any good

[vital oriole]

run ddu, it's corrupted driver

[vital oriole]

yes, it's one of the best 30 series cards out there

[fervent knot]

That's what I'm going to do rn if my internet will stop being bad

[quartz gull]

I may buy a 4k 144hz display for a 3070...

I feel like I'm stupid

[fervent knot]

Ehh I would buy a 1440p 240 hx

Hz

[quartz gull]

Ew

1440p seems like a stopgap for my future plans

I want a monitor I can keep for 10 years

and not regret it

[fervent knot]

Well if that's the case then sure

[quartz gull]

I'm on a 6 bit 1080p tn panel rn

[vital oriole]

wait

[fervent knot]

I got a 1080 p 144hz

[vital oriole]

rommy now mod assist?

grats

[quartz gull]

Lemme tell you 6 bit + 2 "bit" frc does not look every pretty

the problem is that it's a jank resolution for content consumption

I do way more than just game

[brisk flame]

1440p is not a jank res by any means

[quartz gull]

I hate 1080p upscale to 1440p tbh

the blurriness drives me insane

[brisk flame]

then either 4k downscale to 1440p

or just use 1440p

because tons of media support 1440p

[quartz gull]

that's gross

besides xbox series getting plugged into it

[brisk flame]

because its the 3rd most common resolution today?

[quartz gull]

768p?

[brisk flame]

xbox supports 1440p naitivly

along with ps5

[quartz gull]

yeah but I'mma feel like I'm wasting the rectangular prism

false

ps5 does no support 1440p

I can guarantee it

[brisk flame]

huh, i looked into it a while ago, could have sworn it did

[quartz gull]

Yeah just looked it up, it only pushes 1080p to 1440p

[fervent knot]

Nope

[quartz gull]

playstation is not monitor friendly

they nu like monitors

I don't have a playstation anyways so idrc about what ps5 supports resolution wise

1440p is an upgrade over 1080p for sure, it's just I feel like I'mma do that thing I always do

[brisk flame]

regardless, my point still stands, theres nothing wrong witrh 1440p

[quartz gull]

where I'mma have a new monitor within a year

ps5 also doesn't support variable refreshrate

xbox does which is amazing

[brisk flame]

4k expensive if you also want a higher refresh rate

[quartz gull]

I'm willing to drop $1,000 on this monitor

Like I said

I want a 10 year monitor

[brisk flame]

i would rather get a 4k 60 and a 1080p 240hz

tbh

[quartz gull]

I already have 1080p 165hz

[brisk flame]

one monitor for content consumption, the other for gaming

[quartz gull]

I don't think I'mma notice a difference to 240hz

[brisk flame]

then just get a 4k oled tv

[fervent knot]

I it it to work

Got it

[quartz gull]

problem is they don't make oled tv's under 30 inches

28 inches is my absolute MAX for screen size

[brisk flame]

why so small

[quartz gull]

I use 23.4 inch rn

I hate big displays

[brisk flame]

then sit far away from it

[quartz gull]

I sit 12-18 inches from my monitor

nuh

[brisk flame]

you wont be gaming on this 4k60 display anyway

thats what the 1080p 165 is for

[quartz gull]

I just feel like I'm wasting so much potential on 1440p

[brisk flame]

you arent

you already have a pretty good gaming monitor

so just get something to use for watching youtube

and playing xbox on the couch

ya know

[quartz gull]

the colors are so bad that I'm getting rid of it when I get a new monitor

I'm not sticking with 6 bit display

[brisk flame]

will it do 8bit when you drop the refresh rate?

[quartz gull]

no

[brisk flame]

or switch to DP

[quartz gull]

it only does 6 + 2

[brisk flame]

must be an older gaming monitor then

[quartz gull]

at because it uses frc the lower the refresh rate

[brisk flame]

really old

[quartz gull]

the worst the colors look

2014 I think

[brisk flame]

quite old

[quartz gull]

Yeah it was my

"I want 5-10 years"

now I need a new "I want 5-10 years"

[brisk flame]

M27Q

.

[quartz gull]

Do you think I'll regret 1440p in 2029?

I'll probably keep this one for a similar timeframe

I know that's a stupid question

[brisk flame]

it will only become supported more and more

at worst, you will only regret it now

but tbh so many things support 1440p natively

youtube has a 1440p option

[solemn panther]

1440P forever

[brisk flame]

plus, any 4k source material can be easily and cleanly downsampled

[quartz gull]

fun fact this monitor was $580 when I bought it in 2014

I'm looking for a $600-800 price point again

[brisk flame]

you wont notice bc 1440p at 27 inches is hella small pixel density

[heady stratus]

just like anything that downscales, you lose bitrate, you lose quality

[solemn panther]

by 2029 4k should be the standard as the monitor prices should be affordable by then

[brisk flame]

thats because 165hz LCD was the bees knees in 2014

now its whatever

[quartz gull]

Yeah but 6 bit tn panels have aged so bad

[brisk flame]

so get 8bit IPS

for 300

[quartz gull]

that's what I want to do

[brisk flame]

good

M27Q

[heady stratus]

I will watch a Remux Copy of a 4k Movie before even though i can stream it

[quartz gull]

but maybe a 4k one?

[brisk flame]

M28U

i think

[heady stratus]

Anyone ever use SVP for MPCHC player?

60FPS 4k will change you

[quartz gull]

I been wanting an m28u!

but it's out of stock

someone at best buy told me they only see those monitors every 3-6 months

it's making me sad

last supply drop ended 2 months ago so it going to probably be 1-4 months before I see it again

should I wait for it?

[brisk flame]

i dont see the benefits a 4k display provides

like, you gonna play all your games in 4k???

what GPU do you have?

[quartz gull]

i wonder

[brisk flame]

or are you gonna play at 1080p

oh

[quartz gull]

Tbh I play things for pretty not performance usually

I'm okay with 45-60 fps

[brisk flame]

ion think 3070 will do 4k at 144hz

[quartz gull]

144hz is just for my more competitive games

for AAA games which I play singleplayer pretty experiences I'm aiming for 45+ fps

[brisk flame]

ouch

45fps would give me a stroke

[quartz gull]

Idk I still play my n64 at 20 fps

I am playing through the og paper mario rn

20fps baby

[brisk flame]

on a crt tho

[quartz gull]

nope hdmi modded on a flat panel >:)

[brisk flame]

eww

couldnt do that

[quartz gull]

I'm very not sensitive to framerate

I guess that's why I used to crank everything

[brisk flame]

i see

[quartz gull]

last month I was still rocking a 2060 and setting everything to ultra

but now this thing actually hits double the fps and I'm like

I can probably do 4k 45-60

and it's making me wanna upgrade

and if I want higher fps? play at 1080p high refresh rate for perfect scaling

1080p perfectly scales to 4k through a 1:4

[brisk flame]

or just 1440p everything ez

[quartz gull]

I have realized every generation I keep going up a class too

I was on a 1050 then a 2060 now a 3070

4080 next gen

[brisk flame]

big money moves

[quartz gull]

I bought my 1080p 165hz display when I had a gtx 760

everyone was like

"you'll never use it that's stoopid"

so I want the m28u but it's out of stock, should I go for the g7 that uses the same panel?

I'm worried the m32u might not fit on my desk comfortably considering I'm rocking 2 23.4 inch displays

[brisk flame]

its not that much bigger

3 inches diagonally

so less than 3 inches horizontally

[quartz gull]

I guess should be fin

I got about 6-8 horizontal inches of room on my desk for a size increase

from my main 24 inch

WHAT

IT WAS IN STOCK 4 HOURS AGO

m32u also sold out now .-.

[normal hawk]

Oof

[idle idol]

Any good desks that under 100$?

My desk is like 35-38 inches wide

[normal hawk]

Sometimes Newegg will have sales on desks. I got a fairly large one for like 43$.

I like it, don't know the reviews.

https://www.newegg.com/p/3EA-004G-00012 this is the desk i got @idle idol

62"

[dusky spoke]

How do i get a gpu at retail price? Any strategies or something lmao

[normal hawk]

Check the pins

[dusky spoke]

Ah ty

[normal hawk]

@nocturne anchor do you only need a pc? already have the monitor and other peripherals?

also do you trust Open Box PC's theres a lot available on newegg right now

@nocturne anchor https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali586/p/N82E16883360221?Item=N82E16883360221 11400F/RTX 3070. 1699

https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali545-gladiator/p/N82E16883360165R?Item=N82E16883360165R
Open Box 10600k/RTX 3070 Ti 1699. either one works.

[hard wren]

I guess I like the bottom one best

if I had to choose

[normal hawk]

I put both cause some people don't like open box.

how long has your name been orange

oh lol thought I just didn't notice it before

[green harness]

Congrats Rommy!

I thought you'd had it a while as well for some reason

[normal hawk]

ye

[livid idol]

It's overdue imo

[green harness]

ye

[normal hawk]

Rommy, what do you think I'll be offered on Reddit for a FHR 3080? I'm hoping for a 6900xt or 3080 ti.

[livid idol]

It's possible you could ask for a straight trade to 6900XT

[normal hawk]

Yeah thats what I was thinking

[livid idol]

Some miner will snatch that up

[hard wren]

but the FHR 3080 is so nice looking...

[normal hawk]

its Zotac lol

[hard wren]

oh nvm

[normal hawk]

its the Trinity OC. I got it in a prebuilt last april/may

[hard wren]

thought it was a founders

[normal hawk]

How it looks in my 3090's box. 😭 I wish I had a box for it.

[hard wren]

I know the FHR meant full hash rate I just always think founders when talking about the non hash limited ones

[normal hawk]

Or at least a cover for the PCIE part.

[hard wren]

LOL thats hilarious it looks so sad in there

[normal hawk]

The Aorus extreme is a massive card lol

Is it the largest 3090?

[hard wren]

my asus tuf 3090 is pretty big but not that big

[quartz gull]

need pcie slots reinforced with 3/4 inch plated steel

[normal hawk]

Ye it's 4 slots.

[hard wren]

mines more like 3.5 slots

[ivory herald]

I did 660, 970. If I get something w/ 16GB of Vram then I can keep up the doubling thing.

[lone pond]

doesn't the rx 6800 have 16 gig vram?

or am I thinking abt the 6900

[rich falcon]

What do you guys think of upgrading my sisters 970 to a 6500xt

I saw one at 240$

[ivory herald]

No idea. I'll probably go 20 series, then 30 or 40 series in the future. 2080/S/Ti is pretty good at 1440P. well, or w/e ends up the best at sub-$700 in the fall. Might get that M27Q soon as it drops back down $20+.

[ashen nacelle]

[normal hawk]

6800, 6800xt, and 6900xt all have 16gbs vram

[ivory herald]

[normal hawk]

Lots of potential upgrades

[ivory herald]

What was your previous 1 or 2?

[normal hawk]

my previous GPU's were 2070 Super and 5700xt(had gotten it for 200$ when the drivers were doodoo)

before that I had a 2060 that I got in a prebuilt. and before that I had a 1050 4gb laptop...

before that was a 560 ti. was a console pleb

the 2060 was the Asus Phoenix fan and it got hot. which is why I wanted to upgrade. I got the windforce 3x 2070 super for 450$ including tax. hence the smallish upgrade.

[ivory herald]

oof, big change to that 2060 huh. before my 660 was the 260. Seeing how the 2070S is trying to match the 2080, I'll probably skip it. Decent buy w/ that 2070S. No doubt I'll take a bit of a loss on this, but no point overpaying too much on it's replacement. (semi poor).

[normal hawk]

On the 560 Ti, I mainly played Gmod, terraria, starbound, and csgo.

Biggest issue is I had a dual core celeron. @ 2.6ghz lol.

But I did get the PC to run Space Engineers with a few restrictions. Had to lower all the settings to low, disable foliage, not go on planets. and a bit more

on gmod, I actually had to EXIT the server and rejoin if we changed maps. 😂 and sometimes I wouldn't make it into the map until after the event was over (Star wars RP)

[normal hawk]

I still have the 560 ti. didn't boot in the PC with the FX 6300 though so I think it might be broken 😦

[rich falcon]

Anyone know if should replace my sisters 970 with a 6500xt?

[normal hawk]

Probably not tbh

until they maybe fix performance with better drivers. but as of right now no

[rich falcon]

I would buy it immediately if she had a pcie gen 4 cpu

[ivory herald]

IT almost equals the 970, or maybe the 980

[rich falcon]

Her cpu is a i5 8400

[normal hawk]

yea don't get it.

970 is good for now.

Wait for the 4060 or for 3060 to go down in price.

[rich falcon]

Well comparing the 6500xt to my 980ti seems like a downgrade

But might be a upgrade for a 970

[normal hawk]

if its not a 30% increase its not really worth it tbh

[ivory herald]

I still have my 660 as a backup. Too bad didn't bench it VS the 260. Don't think I'd bother to bench it these days, but I could for laughs. Just looked up the years, 660 was basically the perfect match to this cpu if going by year release, lol.

[rich falcon]

What gpu you would buy if things were normal?

[normal hawk]

If I was able to, I'd bench the 560 ti on the fx 6300 rig I have still

[ivory herald]

crazy difference. I'll bust out the 660 this weekend. Curious what sort of temps it would hit during winter.

[rich falcon]

How much better you reckon a 760 would be to a 560ti

[ivory herald]

If "normal", normal where I could do a current gen at msrp, probably the 3060 Ti because it has good performance for 1440P & the wattage isn't super high like the other cards. Also would be fine w/ maybe a 2080 or 2080S, but they're almost above orig msrp currently.

[normal hawk]

Probably a lot tbh

the 560 ti doesn't reach min spec for modern games anymore for a reason lol

[ivory herald]

700 series was pretty good, but for comparison.

[rich falcon]

Well I inquired my old 760 is useless for mining

Also useless for gaming

I think I should just sell it

[ivory herald]

yeah, might make 30 cents a day. idk. My electricity in CA costs so much I'm not gonna bother mining at this point. 760 could get $70-80 probably

[rich falcon]

To a gamer ofc

[magic wing]

no miner gonna want it anyway lol

[normal hawk]

you could find someone who just wants to play csgo or league or something and that'd be great for them in this market

[rich falcon]

I fear one day people will say that about my main gpu

[normal hawk]

wait til my 3090 is useless in like 10 years

[ivory herald]

Only it'll be like "it can't play Crysis 6, but ok for cs go still"

[normal hawk]

CSGO is forever so its only natural

Crysis 6? nah Crysis Remasted: Remastering Evolved

so... if the 6500 XT is this bad, How bad is the OEM only 6400 going to be???

[rich falcon]

I reckon gtx 1050ti level performance

[normal hawk]

amd basically released a new 1050ti and 1650 lmao.

Going RTX 3050 for my Xbox PC build then 😂

[hard wren]

did you see in general chat dell made its own 6400

The AMD Radeon RX 640 is mobile mid-range graphics card for laptops based on the Polaris architecture. It features 640 shaders (10 CUs) or 512 shaders (8 CUs) with different clock speeds. Compared to the older RX 550(X), the RX 640 seems to offer only half of the memory bandwidth (64 Bit memory bus instead of 128 Bit)

[rich falcon]

Here hoping 3050 will finally be the upgrade for my 980ti but it is still rumoured to be 2% slower in games

[hard wren]

if 3060ti were at msrp that would be a good upgrade

[normal hawk]

Radeon 6400 was announced with the 6500 XT at CES 2022. did Dell really make their own version of it?

[rich falcon]

I believe in 80ti if everything was msrp then 3080ti is a no brainer

[hard wren]

I was mostly joking but kind of yes

https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-amd-rx640-4gb-full-height-graphics-card/apd/490-bgtf/parts-upgrades?

[normal hawk]

https://www.antonline.com/Evga/Computers/Video_Cards/Graphic_Cards/1442343 @rich falcon

[hard wren]

@normal hawk some sort of mobile gpu in a desktop gpu abomination

[rich falcon]

Judging how the 980ti put up a fight with 1070 and 1660ti I believe 80ti cards are a better value in the long term

[normal hawk]

oh thats gross.

[normal hawk]

Apparently the 6500 XT was first developed for laptops

[hard wren]

I believe that

[normal hawk]

https://www.techspot.com/news/93070-amd-admits-navi-24-gpu-used-radeon-rx.html

[ivory herald]

This phrasing is cracking me up.

[rich falcon]

Was a 1070 really 138$ back then?

[ivory herald]

uh no, more like $338 and then some

[normal hawk]

Ye I should be good for a while

[rich falcon]

I wonder where they got that 138$ from

That's deal of the century

[hard wren]

wish.com probably

[rich falcon]

I bought my 980ti with 450$ it was nowhere near 560$ either

Lost All my faith in them

[hard wren]

you lost faith, you didnt buy a 2080ti and a 3090 🥲

[ivory herald]

or 1080 Ti even.

[hard wren]

and now they are making a 3090ti 😭

[ivory herald]

get rekt, I say to our collective wallets soon enough

[hard wren]

and wife already said she would divorce me if I buy one 😢

[rich falcon]

Until cyberpunk I never felt the need to upgrade my 980ti

[ivory herald]

did she start packing yet?

[hard wren]

2080ti to 3090 was already a hard sell

[ivory herald]

I've been not-rich so long doubt I'd ever feel right spending more than 3-digits on a gpu. It's "funny" gpus are so expensive while a $200ish 1x400 is almost all we need.

[normal hawk]

I upgraded for minecraft shaders and Skyrim at 8k

[ivory herald]

The question do you sell then "upgrade" to 40 series for no cost.

[hard wren]

cyberpunk dipped below 60 once at 4k on my 2080ti so I needed a 3090....

[ivory herald]

I should've mined a bit when I 1st got this 1080, but that was only June. 25cents/kwh is a killer

[hard wren]

asus website at launch

wanted an evga but asus was the first one to go in the cart

[normal hawk]

3090 and 3080 ti in bundles on newegg, not in shuffle

[hard wren]

and best buy has them from time to time

[normal hawk]

Both were with Z590's. one went to my sisters build, the other went to my friend when his PC caught on fire...

Yea was a weird convo

he was using his PC and his 2060 had caught fire. killed his mobo. so he had to replace his GPU and Mobo.

[hard wren]

🔥 +💻 = bad

[normal hawk]

me and him had both taken the PC's with us when we deployed. so it lasted all of that, to come back to the states and catch on fire

[hard wren]

extension cables cause a few I've seen in this discord

[vital oriole]

lmao

[normal hawk]

oof

[vital oriole]

what a clown

[hard wren]

@normal hawk thank you for your service 🇺🇸

[normal hawk]

Thanks for your support. But I'm free now. I ETS'd in November. was just a reservist

One and done kinda contract.

Cause I got chronic tendonitis and my hands always hurt now, so I can't do much.

[hard wren]

more than I've done and still much appreciated no matter how small a part

[normal hawk]

I was a postal specialist so I was handling mail in a post office in iraq. was meh. lots of physical labor so my hands got real bad. still waiting for them to recover

[keen nacelle]

My friend scored a 3070 from bb

Used it for two months while trying to get a 3080

[hard wren]

I almost joined the airforce to be a mechanic but decided not too

[keen nacelle]

Returned it at the end of the 3 month return period and a week later scored an 3080 tuf from best buy

And this was when it was botter central, back in early 2020

Luckiest mf

Not 2020

2021

Lmao

I'm smart

[normal hawk]

Mail in purple bags 😭

[hard wren]

yeah covid seems to have stalled everything I keep thinking its only been 1 year of covid

[normal hawk]

We got the short end of the stick too on the deployment

[keen nacelle]

I'm tired of covid for the weirdest reasons

I'm tired of customers complaining to me about the masks. How original

I'm tired of shortages of literally everything

[hard wren]

masks are a lot nicer in the winter since they make it a little warmer 😉

[keen nacelle]

"I wear a mask for 8 hours at school and then somedays another 5 hours at work"

[normal hawk]

Postal companies will do deployments by platoon. my platoon ended up being all stuck in iraq, and my squad ended up being stuck at Al Asad Air Base... the one that gets rocketed all the time lol.

[keen nacelle]

"I'm pretty sure you can handle wearing it for 30 minutes" is all I want to say

Lmao

[normal hawk]

I wore a mask during our 5k's occasionally. Cause I don't wanna catch covid.

[keen nacelle]

I once wore 5 masks while running just to prove a point

Look on that man's face was amazing

Was at a public lake and he asks me why I'm wearing a mask and then goes off on a rant

Keep in mind I'm 15 and he was like 50-60

[normal hawk]

I don't go out

[hard wren]

I don't worry about it too much

[normal hawk]

I have only left my home to go to see Spiderman in the last 2 months now.

[keen nacelle]

I recently got covid so I'm not worried for myself much atm

[hard wren]

I wear the mask but if it wasn't required I wouldn't

[keen nacelle]

I never really was

I'm young, it doesn't matter if I get it much

I'm more worried about giving it to my grandma who lives with me

[normal hawk]

thats not true

[keen nacelle]

Or my dad who's high risk

[keen nacelle]

It most likely won't kill me

[normal hawk]

If you get it, you can spread it. so it DOES matter if you get it

[keen nacelle]

Especially since I have two vaccines

[normal hawk]

it might not kill you, but as you just said your dad is high risk

[keen nacelle]

.

[normal hawk]

So it does matter if you get it

[keen nacelle]

Yes, which is why I take the necessary precautions

[normal hawk]

don't say it doesn't because you won't die

[hard wren]

I've tested postive 3 times with no symptoms so for me personally I'm not concerned but I wear a mask so I don't give it to an immunocompromised person or young child who doesnt have a vaccine

[keen nacelle]

What i meant by it doesn't matter if I get it, I meant that it doesn't matter to my health

[keen nacelle]

With the new variant you can test positive up to 90 days after no symptoms

[normal hawk]

Look, people don't know who deals with what. They don't know who you go home to. this is why wearing masks should be important regardless of age.

[keen nacelle]

No point in taking more tests, it's been two weeks for me and I still test positive

Actually three weeks

[normal hawk]

If you give it to a 21 year old , whos been vaccinated they might be fine, but their parent whos like 60 and immunocompromised won't be

[hard wren]

thats unfortunate hope it does heal

[normal hawk]

ya know?

[hard wren]

truth

[keen nacelle]

I'm sorry to hear, is there anything that can help it to heal?

I know what thats like, I dont really know the proper words to use but I hope it heals

[hard wren]

lung tissue does regenerate I wouldn't take up smoking

[normal hawk]

I don't smoke either

Only thing I do is drink and I should probably cut back on drinking cause alcohol has an adverse effect on healing tendons

[hard wren]

I used to smoke but quit in my mid 20's

[keen nacelle]

My sisters been smoking 🍃 for 12 years, I hope she doesn't get covid

She won't get vaccinated though

:)

[hard wren]

I could understand holding out in the begining on the vaccine but by now... I mean why not

[rich falcon]

Smoking is soo unattractive

[keen nacelle]

It's a very, very long story that I won't say here

Because it is very political and is also way too long

[normal hawk]

drinking helps me relax and socialize. so I can either be lonely or I can be in pain 😦

[vital oriole]

Smoking is ok as long as the smoker doesn't do it near me

I don't wanna take in the fumes

[hard wren]

I really wish taking a vaccine to prevent the spread of a disease wasnt a political issue

[keen nacelle]

No it's not that

It's political in a different way relating to history

[rich falcon]

Also smoking near pcs all the time has a effect after a while

[normal hawk]

thats a reason I hated the army. everyone smoked T.T

[hard wren]

yes making them an ash tray smell aroma candle

[keen nacelle]

I donr plan on ever picking up smoking

I do like edibles though

[rich falcon]

It's turns out quite expensive in the long run

[keen nacelle]

If someone ruins my ice cream with smoke

[hard wren]

thats expensive ice cream

[keen nacelle]

There's this amazing restaurant near me

Called shady glens

Idk why it's named that

Amazing fries and amazing milkshakes/icecream

[hard wren]

I dont eat or drink anything with added sugar but it sounds good

[keen nacelle]

Smoke flavored ice cream

[fossil talon]

cherry oak smoked ice cream

[keen nacelle]

Jalapeño ice cream

[fossil talon]

pho ice cream also wack

[hard wren]

for me its healthier and I just don't like sweet things never have

[keen nacelle]

My diet is so awful

[fossil talon]

same

[keen nacelle]

I dont think I'd survive if I didn't eat sugar

[fossil talon]

I eat my heart out lol

Engg depresso diet

[normal hawk]

Ice cream, pudding and jello are enough sweets for me

[keen nacelle]

I don't eat proper meals unless I'm cooking for the rest of my family

Which I normally do

For dinner anyways

[hard wren]

oh I eat a lot just mostly meat

[keen nacelle]

My issue is that I'm too lazy to cook if im just cooking for myself

I should

I'd eat much better if I had stuff in the fridge to just grab

It's 3 am why you gotta make me hungry

[hard wren]

I smoke a lot of stuff in the smoker

[keen nacelle]

Maybe I should buy a rice cooker

I wish we had a smoker

I learned to use a grill when I was like 10

Yes, when I was 19

When I'm currently 16

[hard wren]

mines a $200 charcoal grill/smoker so you dont have to be fancy

[keen nacelle]

God I can't type

[hard wren]

outdoor and large

[keen nacelle]

My grandma has a charcoal grill

Pretty small

We have a propane one

Mmm

Grilled chicken is the best chicken

The other night I made homemade chicken nuggets but I replaced the eggs with Buffalo sauce

Was pretty good

[hard wren]

[keen nacelle]

Now THIS https://www.budgetbytes.com/one-pot-creamy-cajun-chicken-pasta/

[hard wren]

[keen nacelle]

I like how we're talking about this in gpu chat

[normal hawk]

GPU chat is the chill chat

[keen nacelle]

My grandma makes this split pea soup

It's so good

[hard wren]

and its late

[keen nacelle]

It's my favorite soup

[keen nacelle]

This is my favorite food to make

It's not what you'd think

It uses those dehydrated soup packets

Jt doesn't taste like peas

[hard wren]

lol a good split pea soup is great

[keen nacelle]

Or really have peas

I want to make proper ramen

[normal hawk]

As you can see. Everyone here hasn't really had an issue getting a 3000 series except you. That's probably why we are chill lol

[keen nacelle]
