[heady turtle]

Even more of an oof

You could have gotten a gtx 1080 for that probably

[left kettle]

"Could have" my xfx R9 285 died and I needed something fast

It was the best I could do ༎ຶ︵༎ຶ

[keen nacelle]

Imo not worth it atm, but you do you

2080 ti=3070, it's not a huge jump to the 3080 ti to warrant such a big price jump imo, but it depends on what that money amounts to for you ig

[autumn dune]

Do you know what the msrp is for the asus tuf 6900xt?

[keen nacelle]

That exists?

Never seen it before

[green harness]

Looks like about 1600-1700

[heady turtle]

Rip :/

[normal hawk]

The low end 12gb 3080's are all 1249. So yes. The aibs basically put that as the base MSRP unless Nvidia told them too, Nvidia didn't make it public so who knows

[dawn notch]

anyone know what card this is?

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/451508829532410/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A0d1c5b9b-c6a7-4ae1-abd5-2422e2daa5ca

[cerulean rover]

Looks like 960 strix

[dawn notch]

is it ok?

[cerulean rover]

It's worse than a 1650

[dawn notch]

alr

thx

[native sandal]

Is a 1080 better than a 3050?

[livid idol]

1080 is better yes

[normal hawk]

Shuffle sucks again. Don't enter for that ASUS RTX 3070 KO for sure. Anything else is fine though

[cerulean rover]

Lol

[heady turtle]

[autumn dune]

What’s wrong with the 3070 ko?

[normal hawk]

uhhh

it...uhh...is too well priced.

and I want it

[autumn dune]

Good deal with that psu too but I’d rather have more than 650w

[heady turtle]

650w is plenty for a 3070

[keen nacelle]

Unless 12900k/5950x

Might be pushing it a bit

[autumn dune]

I see

Also

Why do these shuffles never have any Radeon cards?

[livid idol]

The amd cards aren't as high demand so they're just in regular stock

[green harness]

@ everyone make sure to enter for the 3070 KO if nothing else!

[ruby tendon]

The shuffles have been meh said frig it and re ordered the 6600 for 429 again going to stick with it this time

[autumn dune]

I got a 6600 for $460

[ruby tendon]

Wich is good enough given the state of things

[ruby tendon]

Cause then they'd have to be listed closer to retail msrp kek

[livid idol]

6600 is almost as good as the 3060 so around $400 is a good price

[ruby tendon]

Best buy has them available almost every night in like a 2 or 3 hour window

Sometimes they throw the 579 gigabyte 6600 xt oc, the reg gigabyte 6600xt is 499 but they go up almost everynight

So it leaves options

[stark barn]

What Is LHR and nonLHR?

[livid idol]

Light hash rate
If it's lhr the mining performance is reduced

[ruby tendon]

Only effects miners*

[stark barn]

Oo okay

[livid idol]

There's a couple specific production tasks that can trigger it too but 99.9% of the time yeah only miners care

[runic crypt]

anyone made an eGPU for a lower end device?

using it as an expand dong

[livid idol]

You need thunderbolt for that to work. If you have that then it's an option.

[runic crypt]

m.2?

[livid idol]

Nope

[runic crypt]

oof

[ruby tendon]

It would be listed on your mobo manual

[runic crypt]

oof

can i use a usb/thunderbolt cable

as an adapter

[livid idol]

Only if the board supports thunderbolt

[ruby tendon]

If your mobo has a thunderbolt slot

[livid idol]

Thunderbolt requires direct access to the PCI-e lanes plus high speed usb in order to work

[runic crypt]

oof

[livid idol]

You can get a thunderbolt expansion card

But those are over $100

[runic crypt]

this is a braswell

nuc5

so it doesnt

no expand dong

the boards go for a lot

and doesn't support expansion cards

think i'm disregarded?

i want just the board because i'm making my own chassis

[livid idol]

Yep you'd need a full height PCI-e x4 slot to fit the expansion card

[runic crypt]

unfortunately not

[stark barn]

This worth to get? I got the money for it

[runic crypt]

i hope nuc5 can emulate stuff gc or weaker, at least n64

or else this won't have been worff

i'd be lucky if it could emulate nds/psp/dreamcast

[livid idol]

3080 ti should be under $1400

[livid idol]

Considering my phone can emulate DS I think you're good there. And psp isn't that hard either.

[stark barn]

Should I just see if I get a chance to win from the shuffle ?

[livid idol]

That's your best bet to get one at a good price probably

Less people are looking at the high end stuff so better chances of being selected too

[runic crypt]

i already have the gpus i want so finding a board that supports egpu is the issue

[green harness]

You could also try for a card through the EVGA configurator. They've dropped some cards there recently but you need to buy a PSU and a peripheral as well

https://www.evga.com/products/diy/

(only GT 1030s available ATM)

[runic crypt]

thing about egpu is that there are reports of m.2 being faster than tb3

[ruby tendon]

You can get a 6900xt from ebay for 1300 to 1400 js

[livid idol]

I make no promises this will play nice with your bios

[runic crypt]

thank

seems like it'll take aegislash to get here

before i consider this

i want to finish the fightstick pc before putting an eGPU on it

i could do fine with only the riser right?

[livid idol]

In theory, I guess. You'd just need to make sure it's powered properly.

[runic crypt]

Does the enclosure provide more than a chassis?

[livid idol]

Yes, it's also power

[runic crypt]

So I can make my own for a lower end card.

Can I power the NUC board and eGPU together this way?

If I can find a DC barrel to PSU adapter.

As opposed to powering them separately.

[livid idol]

In theory, but odds are that the barrel adapter wants an odd voltage like 16.5v or 19v and not 12v

[runic crypt]

I have a 19v for that

coming in the mail today

and my RAM card which runs DDR3

[stark barn]

Do people buy graphics cards on stockx and get them!?

[ruby tendon]

Stockx seems to good to be true havent used them

[livid idol]

They're a backorder site so it can take several months to get a gpu

[runic crypt]

Apparently my GT 1030 doesnt need extra power, as it does not have those plugs on the top

I can power it entirely by bus.

[livid idol]

That's common on low end cards

[runic crypt]

yeah

this NUC is lower end than the 1030

but only by a year in terms of release date

i guess i only need to shell out for the tb3 card?

and a bit for the pcie x4 to m.2?

[livid idol]

If you're going to make it a diy thing you can do just the riser, but make sure the slot has at least 75W of power

[runic crypt]

for the whole box? i only have a 65W power supply that the nuc is designed with

is that not enough?

[livid idol]

You'd need external power for the slot. The gpu can use up to 75W on its own.

[runic crypt]

i thought a gt 1030 is 30w

[empty compass]

Well ladies and gents was finally able to get a 3070 ti, and I'm loving it.

[runic crypt]

nice >:]

the GomPUter

[empty compass]

Yup, got a ROG Strix Gaming OC 3070 TI, I spent a little more than I wanted too but I was tired of fiddling with bestbuys Verification process that doesn't work 99.99% of the time.

[runic crypt]

regarding eGPU, is 75W the minimum or recommended amount?

and where can i find an amount around that value?

[livid idol]

You were correct before about the gt 1030 being only 30W but I'd make sure you can provide more than that for safety

[runic crypt]

so could a generic psu over 75w work?

problem is finding something of that low of spec

[livid idol]

The riser I linked before has a sata power adapter

[runic crypt]

that enclosure?

can this work?

[livid idol]

I thought you didn't have a PCI-e slot?

[normal hawk]

A NUC has an m.2 slot.

Isn't that an m.2 to pcie x16 adapter

[livid idol]

This one is a PCI-e x1 to x16 mining riser

[spare relic]

M.2 adapter will have a screw hole to secure it to the slot

[runic crypt]

no remove the pci x1 adapter

and it becomes a pcie x16 to usb

[normal hawk]

Oh

[runic crypt]

ye

you remove the pcie x1 adapter

and then it becomes fully external

[spare relic]

Thing is, does it convert to a USB signal or does it stay pcie over the USB cable

Prob not idk

[runic crypt]

this works if it fits

apparently

[heady turtle]

Anyone have any idea why my 3070 isn't idling when it should? Have it on balanced power plan and everything, I also use nvidia broadcast but not open on start-up

[spare relic]

Drivers?

[heady turtle]

Woops wth it reposted

[spare relic]

My friend updated his laptop's igp driver and it stopped fudging the GPU switching

[heady turtle]

Uhh i don't think so

[vapid owl]

Whats better a 3080 or a 6800xt

🤓

[keen nacelle]

Yes

[stark barn]

3080 ti founder edition good?

[ashen nacelle]

sure

[burnt zodiac]

is it normal for my gpu to be at low usage? im playing games and its still like that

[spare relic]

What games ya playin

There's a lot of games that aren't graphically demanding

And if you play at a fixed frame rate rather than uncapped

Also lower settings

If you play, say, Minecraft without shaders, with the default textures, capped at 120fps, the GPU isn't gonna work that hard

https://tenor.com/view/kanna-kobayashi-dragon-maid-fortnite-dance-anime-gif-16883783

[fading glacier]

it is good, just not worth

[normal hawk]

Depends on price, use and games tbh.

[lone pond]

jeez

I got a GTX 1070 FTW for that price in 2020...

[livid idol]

It sometimes works like that but it would be too slow to be used as egpu, only for mining.

[runic crypt]

i can make something out of meme magic if need be

i have another use for it besides emubox

i can also use it to run photoshop at school

get my work done while pretending to play games

[heady turtle]

They're pretty much the same performance, Nvidia has better ray tracing tho but DLSS and to some RTX voice are better features to lean towards Nvidia

[keen nacelle]

If they're the same price, 3080>, if 3080 is more than 100 more, I'd stick with 6800xt

[carmine dune]

I've got a question for a friend. They just got the Aorus 3070Ti (https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-gv-n307taorus-m-8gd/p/N82E16814932441?Item=N82E16814932441), but have questions about power delivery. Card has a 6+2, 6+2, 6 setup. They've got a Thermaltake Smart 600W, which, from what I can tell online has 2 PCIe cables, each of which have 2 6+2 connectors. He says he can only find one cable. If it only has one cable, would it be possible to run the card on 2 6+2s and leave the extra 6 pin open? I can't imagine the card really needs that many power connectors

[timid narwhal]

no

card wont funciton without all power connected

[heady turtle]

Also i would highly advice a power supply swap anyway

[timid narwhal]

650w at least

[heady turtle]

Not even that but a better unit, thermaltake smart units are C tier at best

[timid narwhal]

ah

[heady turtle]

F tier at worst

[carmine dune]

Yeah he's upgrading a prebuilt. Says the original link is dead but this is close https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-supreme-liquid-cool-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-2700x-16gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-590-8gb-2tb-hdd-240gb-ssd-white/6329756.p?skuId=6329756

[heady turtle]

Assuming he is in the US?

[carmine dune]

Yes

Was hoping he wouldn't have to buy a new PSU, but not surprised

https://www.amazon.com/BitFenix-Formula-Standard-BF-650G-BP-FM650ULAG-7R/dp/B0776XSRJJ/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=bitfenix+psu&qid=1644503626&sr=8-4
Thoughts?

[heady turtle]

I would get the bitfenix formula 650w or 750w off of Amazon, dead cheap and fantastic

Personally would spend the extra 10$ for the 750w if they can afford

[carmine dune]

I'll recommend, thanks everyone!

[heady turtle]

You're welcome

[stark barn]

I’m buying a 3080 ti from a scalper. What are the things I should ask or see before buying it.
He’s providing the receipt as well

[spare relic]

The gpu

[cerulean rover]

Ask them to take a picture of the GPU with a piece of paper that says their name (or username) and the date

That's pretty common practice so it shouldn't be unreasonable to ask

[green harness]

I just wouldn't. But if you must I'd encourage you to get a clear picture of the GPUs condition (BNIB, used and working, etc)

[stark barn]

Okay I will ask him

[stark barn]

He showed me the picture of the box with his name written with a piece of paper and the receipt

I just have to see the gpu in person and see if has been touched or not

[golden torrent]

I need a GPU

But they expensive asf

[stark barn]

They are

[normal hawk]

Huh>

Theres no duplicate text

it was 2 different links smh

Why is an Open box the same price as a new GPU of the same model when its not on sale? https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6900-xt-rx6900xt-ocf-16g/p/N82E16814930057R?Item=N82E16814930057R

Why would you buy the open box Formula OC when the New one goes on sale for 1599 all the time? lol

New one is 200$ cheaper and you get the 2 games and 1 month bonus as well for the new one.

[cerulean rover]

Prob pricing some errors or smth

[normal hawk]

If it was 1499 I'd buy it open box ngl. thats not that much cheaper than the new one has been. as it even gets to that price occasionally lol

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4468894 Strix 3060 Bundle (Non TI) With a B550-F Rog Strix Mobo for 694$.

[keen nacelle]

If it was a b660 that'd be worth it

As is, meh

[normal hawk]

I mean if someones building a new PC its not terrible. but trying to resell the mobo will be a pain.

[keen nacelle]

Well

5600x is atleast $60 more than 12400f

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4468896 This one is a TI with a X570 for 819$ 😦

[keen nacelle]

X570

[normal hawk]

Z590 with the Ti is 939$. 😦

None are bundled for 12th gen intel

TBF its better than MSI Pricing.

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-2060-super-rtx-2060-super-ventus-gp-oc/p/N82E16814137477?Item=N82E16814137477 789 for a 2060 Super...

2x Ventus no less

I think Newegg's open box pricing is broken. Found an Open box 1660 Super thats 10$ more than the new pricing of the same card.... wtf lol

tbf, oddly enough the non super of the same model is also that same price

[normal hawk]

Those are rookie numbers

I have a 3090, 3080 ti, 3080, 3060 ti, and a 3050.

I'm trading the 3060 ti over to my brother since no one wanted the 3080 on hardware swap lol

Nah I wish

Aorus Extreme everything would be pretty cool

EVGA XC Black 3050, EVGA FTW3 3060 ti, Zotac Trinity 3080, Gigabyte Gaming OC 3080 Ti, and Aorus Extreme 3090.

[autumn dune]

I’ll give you $50 for that 3090

[normal hawk]

Nice

Ye I'm happy

No Ragerts

I wanted a 6900XT. but Eh

which one?

I was gonna buy the Formula when it was 1549 the few times it got that low but decided against it

easier to just spend like 300$ for no reason. lol

[runic crypt]

i only have a few cables left for my box, so i'll then work on the eGPU

[normal hawk]

On would be nice.

[cosmic bluff]

How did ya like the Zotac trinity 3080

[normal hawk]

I haven't used it myself. but my youngest brother used it for 4k gaming and it worked really well and was much quieter than the 5700XT he's using now (I let him use it for 3D Modeling but he was always putting it off so I took it back)

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah I've noticed that the trinity models from zotac are really nice

[normal hawk]

too bad the pricing sucks on it

its FHR though but no one would trade a 6900 XT for it 😦

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah if pricing was better it's a gpu model I'll recommend to anyone

[quartz gull]

y'all flexing your 30 series cards while most my cards are older

I got a 950, 3 1030's, 1050, and a 2060

the 1030's are for these $400 10700F builds I picked up

someone got 3070 builds for $1100 from somewhere, pulled the 3070's and sold them separate

So I'm slapping in 1030's and selling them as high end office PC's for $600ish

Idk what I'm doing with the 1050 yet, I got it for $75 locally. might replace my 950 as my back up card. I gotta sell the 2060 still too

My local market has been great, which sucks for me trying to sell my 2060. The 2060's are selling for $350-400 locally rn

so they're back to msrp!

3 years after launch LOL

Should I pick this up too?

$150 for a 1050ti in this market isn't too bad

the zotac 1050ti mini is a great mini card that's at 75 watts

[runic crypt]

amaze

[quartz gull]

Idk what I'd put a 1050ti in atm though

[keen nacelle]

ngl that card looks ugly asf

[cosmic bluff]

I wouldn't mind the look if it performed like it should

Honestly I would put that in a mini pc for like some basic work and super light gaming

[quartz gull]

I've used them before

they only max out at about 72C

75 watts isn't too bad to cool

scalper prices in my area are falling a lot

I saw a 3070 two days ago for $775

[runic crypt]

maybe make a low end pc for an emubox?

an unassuming pc

[quartz gull]

Actually the next emubox I'mma do is a gamecube one

[runic crypt]

dolphin?

[quartz gull]

I'mm procure a 5300G

[runic crypt]

my nuc5 + 1030 can play gc/wii i hope

[quartz gull]

I have a spare gamecube that doesn't work due to the gpu going out

it artifacts to all hell

[runic crypt]

i prefer playing my early 3d / mid 3d games on real hardware such as a wii

[quartz gull]

I couldn't fix it so I'mma turn it into a gamecube emulation box

[runic crypt]

same with the first three playstations

[quartz gull]

but I'mma try something new!

I'mma actually use one of the switch usb to gamecube adaptor boards

[runic crypt]

ive seen that emulation has become an upgrade

nice

[quartz gull]

and solder the connections to the actually gamecube ports

That way it has the OG controller ports up front that actually work!

[runic crypt]

what if i did that with my fightstick as a backup controller input

nice

:]

i am making a fightstick pc

and it's compressed as heck
...

but a gamecube pc is amazing

more space than a wii pc due to form factor

are you going to use component cables for output?

as opposed to hdmi

component is on par with early hdmi

[normal hawk]

https://youtu.be/wINo_Uc3uVU

It won't fit itx motherboards. You gotta step down to the Nuc/ASRock desk mini size motherboards

[quartz gull]

Never heard of that channel

I'll check it out

I'm thinking of buying the USB the memory card adapters too for dolphin and setting those up too

so all the front ports work

[normal hawk]

I like his builds. Very nice looking.

[quartz gull]

He had the same idea I did for the controller ports, that's cool. Good to know it works

[normal hawk]

His Xbox PC build also had the controller ports functioning. Which is pretty cool

[magic wing]

rawr but 3060ti whaaaaat

[cosmic bluff]

Enjoy dlss

[magic wing]

bruh even without dlss is such a massive upgrde

[keen nacelle]

this my best score

[livid idol]

[keen nacelle]

so technichally im 60th

[magic wing]

Its 5am ok my brain isnt exactly working and im hungry

[keen nacelle]

but that bench didnt count bc timespy is annoying

and doesnt install with the up to date version of systeminfo

and i couldnt get the same or better score after that one

as is, im 3 pts off 100th lol

[heady turtle]

Probably have a good bit of adrenaline/dopamine in there too

[magic wing]

For sure man

[heady turtle]

[magic wing]

pato is cool

pato copped me the drop

[keen nacelle]

6480 pts on a 3050 ti

[keen nacelle]

using my brothers cooling pad and having the laptop unplugged its sitting at 53c while benching

this thing has great cooling

[livid idol]

And that's on the high performance power plan right? So it's not throttling on battery

[keen nacelle]

waitt

one sec

i was wondering what i did to make the benches so bad now

ty

[keen nacelle]

+255 core isnt stable anymore

sadge

dont think im going to beat 6499 pts on gpu

still 9th place tho

[keen nacelle]

i turned it on best performance, but it still is giving terrible results

[green harness]

Laptops in my experience have much worse performance when unplugged

I never found a way to get max performance out of mine unplugged, had to be plugged in to push it

So tldr just plug it in if you want max performance

[keen nacelle]

oof

wanted the better temps of being unplugged

cuz benching

+255 core is no longer stable

[livid idol]

Is battery removeable?

[keen nacelle]

no clue

[livid idol]

It would have a latch on the outside to pop it out. No latch, not removeable.

[keen nacelle]

doesnt look like it

i have it on my brothers cooling pad for better temps but they could still be lower

[livid idol]

Oh well. The temp difference isn't so bad if it's plugged in on max battery at least, so it's not actively charging.

[keen nacelle]

yeah ig

[green harness]

See if you can just max out the fans too

Although my laptop was loud when I did that

Much louder than my desktop with fans at 3k rpm

[keen nacelle]

cant change em

best i can do is the cooling pad

also

in the bench i just did i got artifacts

i alt f4ed so it wouldnt get damaged

but doesnt bode well

[green harness]

Uhhh blow on it too I guess?

[keen nacelle]

lol

did get this tho

[livid idol]

Could drop temps with an upside down air can blowing on the intake

In bursts of course, you don't want condensation

[keen nacelle]

still worried about the artifacting

think ima leave it alone

i wont be able to move up more than 1 or 2 places anyways

unless i use liquid metal

[livid idol]

If the temps are lower it could be stable for benching again

Based on the laws of thermodynamics

They tend to use less power to achieve the same clock speed at lower temps. Circuits like to be cold, it's more efficient.

[quartz gull]

I just wanna sell my 2060 for a decent price but everyone over here is selling their 2060's for $350

The hecc happened to my used market

2070 super for $500

I can't compete with this

[normal hawk]

God tier pricing

[quartz gull]

Yeah I live in an area that best buy does in person drops and 20 minutes from a microcenter

[keen nacelle]

hws

sorry had a stroke

[quartz gull]

I might

[keen nacelle]

pricing here is awful

on marketplace 3080s go for 1800

3070s for 1100

3060 tis for 900

worse than ebay

[quartz gull]

$1200 for 3080's/$1000 3070ti/$850-900 3070/$700-800 3060ti/$500-600 for 3060

[keen nacelle]

if i somehow get a 3080 at msrp ill prolly sell my 3060 ti on there, since its fhr

[quartz gull]

Few people have $500-550 3060's for sale rn

2080 non super for $600 rn the hecc

On the plus side I bought a 2GB 1050 for $75 yesterday

You know like typical used prices lol

[keen nacelle]

i want to find a cheap back up card

[normal hawk]

Define cheap

[keen nacelle]

1030 would be fine

[quartz gull]

Ah

[normal hawk]

Ew

[quartz gull]

I have a 950 2gb as mine

[keen nacelle]

wishing i didnt sell my 1030 when i got my new pc

[keen nacelle]

just for smthn in case i have to rma or smthn

[quartz gull]

Gddr5 or ddr4

[keen nacelle]

1030 is enough for what i do anyways lol

i play val and mc rn and thats pretty much it

[quartz gull]

One is half the performance of the other

[keen nacelle]

tho ig since i have a laptop now i dont have much of a point for a backup now

fair

hoping bb drops the TT thing

[keen nacelle]

still hoping for a 3080 fe

[quartz gull]

Okay so I got into a little argument with someone on marketplace and want y'all opinion

[keen nacelle]

sure

[quartz gull]

What is the requirement for "can play ____" setting/resolution/fps wise

[keen nacelle]

low settings 1080p 60fps

min

[quartz gull]

1080p 60-75fps medium settings LOL

[keen nacelle]

you saying that or they are?

[quartz gull]

They saying if it's not highest it doesn't count

[keen nacelle]

lmao

[quartz gull]

I had a i5 - 7400 GTX 1050 16gb ddr4 2666 optiplex on marketplace

I lost games it plays well

Valorant, Minecraft, Fortnite, rocket league, etc.

And he takes issue with it

He's right high and epic hit vram limit

Medium DOESN'T

[green harness]

How much are you willing to pay for a 1030? @keen nacelle
I think EVGA has em in stock

[keen nacelle]

i managed to play bo4 on a 1030 lol

50fps 1050p

[quartz gull]

Medium at 75 fps average is acceptable for me to advertise that it plays the game right???

[keen nacelle]

definitely

[green harness]

$104-109 https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+10+Series+Family&chipset=GT+1030

[quartz gull]

He was in a tizzy cause the 2gb vram limit prevents you from having good fps at high or epic but you don't need that

[quartz gull]

1050 2gb usually about the same price locally as 1030

Look at used 1050's or 950's

[stark barn]

So when I installed another nvidia card do I just uninstall the drivers from GeForce and completely turned off my pc->remove the gpu->install the gpu-> install new drivers?

[vital oriole]

No

Just update the driver to latest version

And slap new gpu in place of old one

[stark barn]

I did it boys

[livid idol]

https://tenor.com/view/everything-gif-18150693

[stark barn]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-umm-what-what-gif-14694719

sold my whole house for it

[runic crypt]

oh wow

sorry that you lost your residence

for an expand dong

[lilac nimbus]

Is a 2060 a good graphics card?

[heady turtle]

Depends on the price you pay for it

[lilac nimbus]

680 aud

[heady turtle]

Ehh it's not terrible price, not good tho

Should be able to get something cheaper/better lemme look

[lilac nimbus]

What’s a good graphics card that I can get 240fps in most games

[heady turtle]

240fps at what resolution and settings with what cpu and ram?

Saying 240fps all games is iffy

[lilac nimbus]

I can’t send pics rip

[heady turtle]

Just say?

Also what's your budget?

[lilac nimbus]

Intel® Core™ i7-10700KF

1.9k

[heady turtle]

1.9k is total budget?

Have you already bought any parts?

[lilac nimbus]

Yes

I mean no

Like ik what parts to get I just need a graphics card

[heady turtle]

I'd recommend you do this then
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/wz2Lk9

[lilac nimbus]

Barely any are in stock but thanks

[gray bloom]

everything are in stock except for gpu

[rustic pulsar]

There’re in stock. Just not for good price.

[quartz gull]

3090 can't even hit 240fps at 1080p for some games, you have to have reasonable expectations

At the same time if you want just 240 fps in something like Minecraft a 2gb 1050 would do the job. We gotta know more than "most games" since games vary in demand

[lavish swift]

That's why you use 3090 sli lol

[urban lance]

how much would a 1050ti 4gb cost brand new?

thinking about selling mine and buying something similar brand new or something slightly better

[cerulean rover]

To buy another one today? Prob 250? Don't buy it for 250 though

[urban lance]

I won't

they used to be 160€

from the store, unopened

[normal hawk]

Market's trash now

[urban lance]

I would sell my used one tho

paid 80€ for it in like 2020 or so

i dont remember

I think I could sell it for atleast 160€

what would be a similar card for that price? performance wise, even an AMD card

[grim saddle]

[urban lance]

is the RX570 similar to the 1050ti?

or was it the RX580?

[grim saddle]

I have 4 months after a 3070 or 3070ti at mrsp price freaking scalpers and miners...

[heady turtle]

Go after 3060 ti too and check the pins

[grim saddle]

4 months without being able to play... I use to play competitive... it su... big time

4 months in the shuffle

lol

I just came here to rant and complaint as you can see

For christ sake I still have a 680

my 5700 burn out

do we really need to pay 3 to 4 times the Video Card worth that is how it is now?

Jesus

[cerulean rover]

I mean, what have you been entering shuffle for?

[magic wing]

570 = 1060

roughly

[urban lance]

anything similar or better than a 1050ti

[grim saddle]

To calm my anxiety I guess..

or to get more anxious I dont even F.. know now

[autumn dune]

This table really helps comparing performance

[magic wing]

just look at the link in the pins for the table

[urban lance]

interesting

[magic wing]

https://imgur.com/a/WZBresN

bettwr quality

[heady turtle]

Need demnomit to make some adjustments tho

6800 up too high

[cerulean rover]

p sure demonmit said it was raster only

[heady turtle]

Yeah but 6800 is a bit better than 3070 not almost 3080

I only talk about raster when talking perf

[urban lance]

also when are the prices expected to lower?

[heady turtle]

Yes

[urban lance]

I see

[heady turtle]

Maybe when intel arc comes out if they have enough stock but idk

[urban lance]

maybe when miners stop

[cerulean rover]

looks like its pretty close to 3080 at 1440p here
https://www.techspot.com/review/2146-amd-radeon-6800/

at 4k it does lose out but at 1440p

in general

[livid idol]

Miners are only a part of the problem. Estimates I've seen are about 10% of units able to be sold through retail have gone to mining farms.
The real problem is there's simply not enough product to satisfy the demand the combination of factors has created. Scalpers love these market conditions, so they moved on from shoes to resell computer parts at triple price.
Once the supply increases from the new production plants late this year, it'll take a few months for the market to stabilize. My best guess is Q2 2023.

[heady turtle]

Hmm i had the idea that it was like a mid way for some reason

[cerulean rover]

It's all nuisanced

[quartz gull]

3090 is outdated, you need 3090ti

[keen nacelle]

3 3090 tis with nvlink

with an i7-3770

[lilac nimbus]

Nah like fortnite on 100 3D res performance mode and low setting

[heady turtle]

100 3d res?!?

[quartz gull]

A 1050 can do that...

[lilac nimbus]

Consistent?

Valorant too

Low setting and 100 3D res

[toxic sinew]

3D res? Are you talking about 100% resolution scaling?

[lilac nimbus]

Yes

[keen nacelle]

3090 super overkill for that

[normal hawk]

I got my 3090 for minecraft....

jk

its for 8K Skyrim

now to sell my other kidney for a 8k TV

(: I can live without my kidneys somehow. I'll find a way

[thick cliff]

Are AMD graphics cards prices dropping?

[livid idol]

Not really, but at least you can usually find them in stock

[normal hawk]

only ones I'd avoid are 6600 and 6700 XT the pricing on those I personally find unappealing.

not even going to address the 6500 XT

[livid idol]

Let's just pretend 6500XT doesn't exist, because it shouldn't

[normal hawk]

6800 XT Trades blows with the 3080 12 GB I think so its pricing depending on the game and model is fine. and the 6900XT is fairly well priced unless you're doing productivity and is generally a better gaming GPU than the 3090. if you can get them directly from AMD they are great if not. be careful on pricing.

you can get a 6900XT for like 1600$ which is cheaper than any 3090 besides the FE( Good luck getting that) And around the price of most 3080 ti's since they increased in price after the 3080 12gb launched.

[autumn dune]

What is the msrp of the asus tuf 6900xt? Couldn’t find it on a quick search of their website

[normal hawk]

if you go to newegg, search "GPU" and select Sold by Newegg those will be Retailer MSRP.

I think that card is 1549$ though normally or around that price. Can't remember. its not in stock

but at that price I'd definitely go for the ASrock OC Formula. One of the best cards

[lilac nimbus]

Nah a 3060 ti

[timid vine]

launch reviews dont take into account mad driver updates

newer drivers are ~10-20% better in dx12 than launch drivers

[cerulean rover]

Good catch

[thick cliff]

I use Linux' open-source AMD drivers

[small scroll]

No you can’t, you will end up like me… dialysis

[normal hawk]

I'm sorry about your condition :(

[small scroll]

Don’t be sorry just be careful what you say… peace 🤙

[quasi flicker]

Anyone have any recommendations for sag brackets?

I have a Gigabyte Windforce 2070 Super and it's sagging a bit

[quasi flicker]

lol

:perhaps:

[heady turtle]

Imo type gpu sag bracket into Amazon and choose one you fancy if you don't have lego or something to prop up

Lego*

[lost wharf]

Yoooooo australian rtx 3060s are below $900 (australian dollars) lets goooooo

now we keep waiting for the market to TRULY crash

[heady turtle]

i mean you can get 660xt's for 740 aud so youre looking at the wrong products

[lost wharf]

i'm not looking at them as something for me to buy specifically, just using that as a price to keep comparing from throughout the months

[heady turtle]

you should tbh just as good lol

[lost wharf]

nah i already got a 1660 super, if i wanted to do an upgrade it would be to a much higher tier card

[autumn dune]

I don’t really understand why so many people ignore the Radeon cards and instead all flock to the 30 series

Especially in this market, you get a MUCH bigger bang for your buck with Radeon

You can get a 6900xt for the price of a 3080

Why would anyone choose the 3080 here

[normal hawk]

Dlss, RTX, NVENC, better for productivity etc.

Also, the only 6900xt I've seen lower than the price of the 3080 ti (new not used) is the reference card only available on amd direct. And after a year of trying i was never able to get a drop.

[heady turtle]

3060 and 6600xt are same tier mate

[normal hawk]

Also I do suggest 6900xt's over 3090s and 3080ti's for gaming cause now the 6900xt is cheaper than the newer price for the 3080 ti with the release of the 3080 12gb having pushed them up in price a little.

[heady turtle]

Ehhhhh you can but not really usually roughly the same sometimes worse

Unless you're talking 6800 xt/6900xt

[heady turtle]

Think they're talking about gpus you can buy off the shelf

[normal hawk]

As am I

The 3080 12GB pushed 3080 ti MSRP's up.

besides the FE model of course

[cerulean rover]

most aib cards other than 6900xt's are horribly priced, and we do like 6900xt's

[normal hawk]

I haven't seen a 6800XT less than 1300$ in a while, but that would be nice.

Newegg's open box pricing continues to amaze me

Phantom Gaming 6900XT Open Box is 1699, the New is 1499 on sale, Regularly 1599. what the heck are they doing

Shame on them.

[heady turtle]

I haven't seen a 3080 on shelf for near 6800xt pricing honestly

[normal hawk]

The Asus Tuf Open box 6900XT is 260$ cheaper than the New pricing. e.e 1659 new vs 1499 Open box. Why can't they do that for the ASrock Formula OC or Asrock phantom gaming 6900xt lol.

[normal hawk]

Cheapest 3080 I've seen in stock was a 10GB for 999. the 12gb 3080 however starts at 1249$ which is fairly close to 6800XT prices started at 1349 (of the ones currently in stock on amazon although the Asus TUF 6800XT is 1249 as well I believe)

[heady turtle]

I mean I've never seen them in stock at least for long

[golden horizon]

Tbh I’m refusing to buy or recommend GPUs on principle until they can be had for MSRP… but the 3080 and the 6800 XT are both great cards

[heady turtle]

Well i mean that's just foolish.... Is now a good time to buy if you already have a semi decent gpu but you can't really not recommend gpu's to people who don't have a pc or have like a gtx 770 or something

[burnt frigate]

I'm not sure if this would be the right place to ask but I'm looking to replace my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 TI, what would be the recommended upgrade for that? I've heard a lot about the 3080 but it's apparently very hard to get. Is there a good equivalent?

[solemn panther]

6800xt, but nvidia is the way

You get dlss and top tier ray tracing

[rustic pulsar]

whats ur budget for the upgrade

[burnt frigate]

Ideally no more than $500 though I could swing more if I wait a tad longer. Feel like that won't get me much atm

[rustic pulsar]

yeah not really much, maybe 3060

[solemn panther]

500 dollars for a modern gpu. Impossible

3060 in shuffle

[rustic pulsar]

or 2070 S

2070*

[burnt frigate]

yeah I've started to get that feeling lol

[rustic pulsar]

but then ur not really getting to much of an upgrade, i would wait until u can put 1k into it

and get like a 3060 ti

[burnt frigate]

Alright. Thank you for taking the time to answer. I'll hold off and save up for now

[solemn panther]

Plus 4/5000 series GPUs are only a few months away. Should wait@burnt frigate

[burnt frigate]

Oh great! Thank you for letting me know!

[keen nacelle]

5000?

[solemn panther]

Could be 5000 since the current quadros already have 4000 in them

Just a theory

For now it's just Ada Lovelace

[solemn panther]

When I mean waiting.....7-8 months

Could be less...who knows

But definitely this year

[keen nacelle]

idt theyd name their mainstream cards after quadros, but who knows

oh wait

i see what you mean

[rustic pulsar]

really, that soon?

wheres my 6090

[keen nacelle]

waiting on the tdps for them

if its as bad as people say i think amd might be on top this gen, except for people that still think nvidias > just bc

[keen nacelle]

he explained it above

i asked the same thing

quadro is already 4000 series

so they might not want to have two be 4000 series

[normal hawk]

Quadro was 2000, 4000, 5000, 6000, and 8000. I don't think it'll be an issue.

Cause they didn't do series in the same way

Quadro RTX 2000 up to Quadro RTX 8000 are all the same series. A2000, A4000, A5000, and A6000 were the next series.

[solemn panther]

Scroll up

[keen nacelle]

nah, itll be 20 series

2065

joking

[solemn panther]

5000 series because mods are never wrong (^:

[normal hawk]

nah they'll rerelease the 1000 series as RTX cards.

RTX 1050 Ti > RTX 3090. just watch, it'll be a hoot

[keen nacelle]

thatd be hilarious

we need more jokes from amd/nvidia, currently we only have the 6500xt

[normal hawk]

MX500 ?

[keen nacelle]

fair

2050

[normal hawk]

Nvidia Tegra being dropped?

[solemn panther]

[normal hawk]

Do mods send 3090's to people who agree with them?

awh. poor JP 😦

[keen nacelle]

JP has a 8080 ti

with an intel core duo 2450

[normal hawk]

bottlenecking that poor cpu i see

[keen nacelle]

yeah

sadly

[sullen panther]

Rip that CPU getting choked

He needs a better gpu smh

[abstract folio]

when can i just buy a graphics card without hunting for it

[normal hawk]

Right now

Depending on budget

[abstract folio]

For msrp or close for a 3070?

[normal hawk]

Do you mean old MSRP or new msrp

[abstract folio]

like 550-650 max. not the original 499

[normal hawk]

Never in that case

Except by hunting best buy drops

[abstract folio]

How come the market has not settled yet? Scalpers?

I can't hunt for the cards because of school. And I've noticed a trend of them dropping on weekdays

[normal hawk]

AIBs saw what people were willing to pay.

Nvidia kept releasing cards that lifted prices like the 3050, 3070 ti, 308012gb

[ivory herald]

4000 series will arrive, a few months give or take later we can have 3000 series closer to orig msrp. 😅

[quartz gull]

No shot

The 20 series isn't even at MSRP yet

[livid idol]

2070 is msrp on hardware swap

Just looked today because I was selling mine lol

[wooden fern]

Just got 3050, runs way better than expected

[fading glacier]

few months? more likely 2023... plus as tulip said, not even the 20 series are at msrp

[dusty hare]

just got rx 6600 at msrp :)

[vital oriole]

nope, it's actually about late 2022

30 series has been out since like 2020

it's about time they do next gen

and ti refresh has been out too

also lesser models on the lineup, like 3060 and 3050

[fossil talon]

ADA Lovelace H2/2022 pretty much

Similarly RDNA3 maybe Q4/2022

[heady turtle]

Yeah that's pretty much well known, GPU's come out every 2 years /gen basically

[livid idol]

There's a little delay expected this year but they'll do a paper launch if they have to

[acoustic flame]

Lovelace is going to be 4000 gpus ?

[cerulean rover]

hopefully

[solemn panther]

5000 series

[lost wharf]

cuz the 4000 technically already exist as a quadro card

[vital oriole]

nah it's still gonna be called 4000 series

[green harness]

yeah but it's not like there's been an RTX 2000 or 3000 for gamers, so why couldn't they have RTX 4080, 4070, etc??

[lost wharf]

true

[autumn dune]

I’m ready for the RTX 8080 ti

[normal hawk]

So does 5000 and 2000

Quadro RTX is 2000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 8000, A2000, A4000, A5000, and A6000.

[lost wharf]

wow, i did not know there were that many quadro cards

[heady grail]

Does it matter which part of the power cables I connect to my 3090 -- the 8 pin or the 6+2 pin?

[normal hawk]

6+2 the 8pin goes to your PSU

[heady grail]

My GPU (3090 FE) has a splitter that takes 2 power cables. So you're saying I plug the two 6+2 ends into the splitter and both solid 8 pin ends into my PSU?

[normal hawk]

yes

[heady grail]

Cool. Appreciate it.

[normal hawk]

np

[heady grail]

Out of curiosity, how would I have known that if I didn't ask here? None of the paper work says anything.

And -- what happens if you cable it the other way?

[normal hawk]

not sure tbh.

[lost wharf]

probably search a 3090 installation guide on youtube

[normal hawk]

do the plugs line up anyway? like can you plug in it either way or does it not fit?

[heady grail]

I haven't tried yet ..

[normal hawk]

as far as I was aware, the 8 pin and the 6+2 pin don't really line up on the cable. so they can't plug into the wrong port.

[lost wharf]

that's good design

[normal hawk]

I can check in a moment. gotta move a GPU and PSU anyway tonight.

[heady grail]

I wish all the cables were like that -- when I connected the power to my CPU 1 and CPU 2 on my motherboard, the round and square pegs didn't line up exactly. I had to orient them so that a couple of round pegs went into the square holes, which apparently is correct but it's not a good feeling.

[livid idol]

I think you've got it backwards.
The 6+2 goes to the gpu. That way if you only need the 6 pin you can leave the extra 2 hanging.

[heady grail]

He meant to have a comma between 6+2 and the

Or she

I dunno

[lost wharf]

they

[livid idol]

Oh right I see now. My bad.

[wild lark]

PSA Nvidia released a Hotfix Driver the other day ‘silently’ it will not be provided through GeForce Experience and it will not be on the normal download page.

511.72

“The hotfix addresses the following issues:
G-SYNC cannot be re-enabled on G-SYNC Compatible displays after manually disabling from the NVIDIA Control Panel [3523157]
Call of Duty Vanguard random corruption [3519774]
Assassin's Creed Valhalla may fail to launch correctly [3525655]”

[final swallow]

Yo does anybody know how to get a 1660 super

[dire epoch]

wait, newegg shuffle, forking over an unnecessary amount of money, or possibly crime.

[final swallow]

When is Newegg shuffle

[heady turtle]

At that stage with Nvidia's binning it will be the 80120 ti

[heady turtle]

1660 supers aren't in production anymore they're not going to be in the newegg shuffle, your only place you can get them are used but they're a poor choice these days due to their inflated price, you could get a gtx 1080 for cheaper usually

[gray bloom]

well i see 1660 in some website brandnew and same price as 6600 and 3050

[heady turtle]

Lol

Rip off

[timid narwhal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYK-33-ZTaw

6600 is the one to go for in that situation

[gray bloom]

well im just saying about the price and availability not the performance lol

[timid narwhal]

understood. nevertheless, neither the 3050 nor 1660 should be the same price as a 6600

[gray bloom]

yeah not sure about us availability but in canada it is like that here

just saying he could get either a 6600 or a 3050 rather than a 1660super with almost the same price brand new

unless its cheaper in a used market

[timid narwhal]

HU posted a video in the last couple of days. basically at the bottom and high end, with current prices, Radeon cards are the ones to have. in the middle (3060ti/3070/6700xt/6800) its still a toss up.

[gray bloom]

our stock here getting better ive seen 3070ti 3070 and 3090 going on stock and 3050 and amd are always on stock now (Canada)

[timid narwhal]

heres hoping that means prices come back to somewhat normal soon

[normal hawk]

Do not buy a 3050 thats more than 250$. anymore and just save for a 6600/3060 instead.

[dreamy dragon]

AN30#1440 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fossil talon]

ye agreed

MemX has been getting shipments weekly it seems

3080tis are also more readily seen on shelf as well

[heady turtle]

BUT WHEN 3090 TIE

[gray bloom]

i mean honestly i just look at the stocks for fun I already have 3080 lol😂

looks fun sometimes seeing stock

[normal hawk]

Kinda shocked they haven't pulled the pricier 3050's out of the shuffle yet. That means that people are actually paying for the ones that are like 400+$ lol.

[green harness]

People seem to love paying the Strix tax for less performance

*less performance because you can often buy a higher tier GPU and get more performance rather than putting all that money into Strix tax

[normal hawk]

Ye
Imagine being fine with paying a brand tax haha... Paid 2250$ for a 3090

[heady turtle]

2250 for a 3090 is well below market value

[normal hawk]

Now it is. Wasn't when i paid for it.

[heady turtle]

Ehhh well look who's laughing now

[normal hawk]

Not my wallet. But yeah lol

[heady turtle]

That's what the mining is for

[normal hawk]

True

Wait what am I doing. I just put the 3080 in a PC. Why am I not mining on it right now? It's FHR lol

[heady turtle]

I'm not mad just disappointed

[solemn panther]

Fhr

Lhr?

[heady turtle]

All 3090's are fhr

[solemn panther]

Oooooh...full hash rate. I fogor

Yeah I know that

Everything else below it is LHR

[normal hawk]

My 3080 is FHR

[solemn panther]

I meant newer cards

[normal hawk]

Got it before the swap in a Prebuilt.

Yeee

[solemn panther]

Forgot again

Must be nice

[normal hawk]

It was just sitting in a box for a while. Was trying to trade it for a 6900xt. No one local messaged me so I'm gonna mine on it.

[heady turtle]

Except FE cards for some reason

[languid wing]

a gt 240 can beat any gpu

trust me

[solemn panther]

Oh

[keen nacelle]

just to clarify again: 3070 ti and 3080 ti have no fhr models

3060 ti 3070 and 3080 FE are all fhr

[solemn panther]

I see

🤔

[rustic pulsar]

i know for fact 3070 has lhr

oh u mean just FE models yes then ur right

[keen nacelle]

that would be why i said FE

[pearl gyro]

Anyone have suggestions on what graphics card to get

[livid idol]

The one you can afford that isn't marked up to double its normal price

And isn't a 6500XT

[ivory herald]

Stuck to x8 is ridiculous, & no doubt many people buying a 6500 might have pcie 3 instead of 4.0

[vital oriole]

no, it's even worse

stuck at x4

[green harness]

Being stuck at x8 might not have even been an issue

[fading glacier]

nor a 3050 as well

[livid idol]

3050 isn't as bad but should still be a last resort

[fading glacier]

a used 1660 is way better instead of a 3050

[livid idol]

Sure but have you seen the price of 1660s lately?

[fading glacier]

touche

if you are aiming for anything new you should aim for a 3060 at least on my book

anything lower is not worth the price, unless some used 20 series cards

[green harness]

For 3050 it all depends on price

[gray bloom]

6500xt or a 3050 for now and upgrade down the road

my advice for the current prices and availability

[livid idol]

No, avoid 6500XT at all costs

It's literally worse than 5500XT

[green harness]

Yeah, avoid the 6500xt. No reason to buy it really

[autumn dune]

Why is the 6500xt so bad?

[vital oriole]

Worse than 5500xt in performance

And the fact that it has only x4 pcie 4.0 lanes eliminates the point of a budget gpu

Cause many people are still running pcie 3.0

And 4 lanes of 3.0 cuts its perf so hard

[gray bloom]

6500xt is just a temporary gpu not a permanent

if he gets a chance to upgrade then he can just upgrade it

then just sell 6500xt if he manage to upgrade

[ivory herald]

[rustic hatch]

6500xt is just a temporary gpu not a permanent
@gray bloom don’t really understand this statement isn’t everything temporary until something new comes out ..

[gray bloom]

6500xt doesnt hurt the budget its only like 300$(cad) and if all thing is settled like gpu that he wants are actually on stock he can just upgrade it without spending a lot

[rustic hatch]

300 is a lot for that tho

[gray bloom]

i mean u can sell it down the road

[timid narwhal]

rather get a second hand 580

[gray bloom]

580 used probably from mining here second hand is above 450 cad and 300 only for 6500xt brand new

[mortal light]

6500xt not worth

[west saddle]

anybody know what kind of gpu that would go with a HP ProDesk Computer with a i5-4570 cpu in it

[rustic hatch]

i mean u can sell it down the road
@gray bloom not really can’t think of anyone who would buy a gpu that’s crap from launch it’s not good for the price and pretty much no one buys a lowest end product second hand years later what you gonna do sell it for 50 3 years later

[pale latch]

Is a 3060ti a good choice at $1050AUD for 1440p?

Don't plan to spend more than that

[magic wing]

No

no

dont

[pale latch]

What should I go for?

[magic wing]

a 3070

or up

[pale latch]

Are there any at that price?

[magic wing]

at that price

look for amd cards too

[pale latch]

I haven't been keeping an eye on the market for a few months now, forgive me

What is the best choice right now?

I already have a 1440p monitor, so I can't really downgrade resolution

Planning to get an 11400F, already have a B560 motherboard

Buy a cheaper GPU now and wait until 2023, or get a decent one now?

[magic wing]

you could ge5t a 6700xt for cheaper ofr similar price

otherwise i cant really find anything better than a 3060ti

[pale latch]

alright

Thanks

[magic wing]

damn prices in australia be bad

[pale latch]

mhm

[quartz gull]

Someone sold a 2070 super for $350 locally...

Like holy crap...

[scarlet geode]

I've got a 1050ti, is it worth it to upgrade my graphic's card to a 20 series or 30 series because of the current gpu market

[pale latch]

Is this a good deal?
https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/nvidia/90714-zt-a30610h-10mlhr

Alternatively,
https://www.mwave.com.au/product/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-eagle-oc-8gb-video-card-rev-20-lhr-version-ac46147

[scarlet geode]

Dont take my word for it but its a pretty good deal for todays market

[vital oriole]

ew no

[heady turtle]

That's aud, it's not horrible but there's cheaper

[livid idol]

Dang that's low. I thought I was being nice selling for $420

[magic wing]

420

hehe

nice

pls tell me u chose 420 on purpose

[livid idol]

Ofc

[vital oriole]

ik it's aud but still

[magic wing]

LMFAO FRIKIN LEGEND

[vital oriole]

1049 aud is kinda much

[heady turtle]

@pale latch id go with this one
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/jZFbt6/evga-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-lhr-8-gb-xc-gaming-video-card-08g-p5-3663-kl

[heady turtle]

That's €660 which would be $660 in the US as they don't include tax in listed prices

[pale latch]

Yea, I was looking at that, but there is no stock available below 1200

[heady turtle]

https://www.ple.com.au/Products/646829/eVGA-GeForce-RTX-3060-Ti-XC-LHR-8GB-GDDR6?utm_source=CommissionFactory&utm_medium=Website&utm_content=&utm_campaign=39307&cfclick=860e7452aa154e0d938d8d8ac64efa2a

Literally 1050?

[pale latch]

On that site, it says that stock is reserved for prebuilts

[heady turtle]

Ahh then the zotac card yeha

[vital oriole]

google said about 750 usd or so tho

1049 aud to usd that is

[heady turtle]

Yes but the US don't include tax in their prices

Everywhere else does

[pale latch]

Does Zotac have a bad reputation?

[heady turtle]

It's fine

[vital oriole]

zotac is just fine for a 3060ti

or gaming tbh

[livid idol]

From past models yeah but modern ones are average

[vital oriole]

even a 3090 from zotac in games does ok

[pale latch]

What about the Gigabyte?

[heady turtle]

[vital oriole]

if you mine with gddr6x cards from zotac tho, a repad is a need

but that's unrelated

[pale latch]

Forgot about that

[heady turtle]

I'd pick zotac twin over gigabyte eagle anyday especially since zotac's is cheaper

[livid idol]

Then there's msi making both one of the best and worst models between the gaming x and the ventus 2x...

[heady turtle]

Even better, aoero itx

[pale latch]

Alright, maybe I'll go the zotac then, same price currently so

[livid idol]

I try to exclude sff cards from my worst cards list, they do what they can with the space

[heady turtle]

Ofc but it does look like a ventus 1x

[livid idol]

Yeh fair lol

[gray bloom]

i got zotac 3080 runs me good with games an temps

no complaints with it

[pale latch]

Thanks, going with the Zotac then

[jaunty mango]

Lmao

Bot got cucked

[long forge]

Hi guys, does anyone have any knowledge on AMD replacements, someone is selling a brand new sealed replacement AMD RX 6800XT for $1250 Canadian. Is there any particular risks or downsides to a replacement, he claims its not refurbished.

[livid idol]

That sounds sketchy to me

The only reasons I can think of to word it like that are that it's stolen and they don't have a receipt or it's a scam.

[long forge]

He said he has email, he sent it in for repair but they sent him a replacement?

[livid idol]

Wait he sent it to AMD for repairs
And they replaced it?

Not any of the board partners?

[long forge]

Yeah they gave him a completely new unit

pics and everything of the box sealed

it doesnt have any brand it looks like, its from AMD

[green harness]

AMD does sell GPUs directly. Ofc they contract out building the thing to someone, but they have AMD brand cards

You should know what you're talking about if you're making a claim like that
https://www.amd.com/en/direct-buy/us

[livid idol]

Alright I retract my statement

[green harness]

I don't know how AMD's warranty works, so I'd personally want to look into that. As they must have bought it directly from AMD I assume they're scalping this.
6800xts direct from AMD cost 649 usd plus tax

[rustic pulsar]

Why’s copyright 2020, didn’t 6800xt come out in 2021

[green harness]

So they might be looking at like 300 USD in profit.

[rustic pulsar]

Wait never mind it’s 2020

[green harness]

If the card works and the price works for you it's a fine card, but again it looks like it's feeding a scalper

[long forge]

Brand new sealed, just a replacement he claims from AMD

$1250 seems to be decent in Canadian market

[green harness]

For a 6800xt in general it's not a bad price, it's just that I'd expect that specific card to have only sold for like 800-900 Canadian, but I don't know the Canadian market

An AIB 6800xt would go for like 1200-1300 USD I think

[heady turtle]

Ha nope

Just feels like that

[wise plank]

Does anyone know where to get a a lower end gpu at msrp

Something like a 1060 sff or a 165p sff

I've been looking for weeks and no luck

[green harness]

You'd be looking at the used market for a 1060 or maybe an EVGA B-stock drop

https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=8

B-stock is usually Thursdays iirc

I'd just try to get a 3050/3060 or 6600 via the Newegg shuffle or Microcenter

[wise plank]

Ty

[elder condor]

Is this a good deal?

3080 12gb for 1350

It’s with a mobo 180

[green harness]

It's fine for this market. Bad in the grand scheme of things, but most 10gb 3080s are going to like 1000-1100 and 12gb 3080s start at about 1250

[wise plank]

Dang that's annoying

Can't link or send screenshots here

Quite lame

[livid idol]

Need to wait until your name turns green for that

You can check progress in #ranks-and-levels with !rank, need level 3

[lusty garden]

hmm

can any of y'all help me identify this card

I can't post media either so

I'll have to dm

[rustic pulsar]

dm me and ill post it

do u have the card

[lusty garden]

nope, someone is trying to sell it for 380 saying that it's a 1070 (8 GB), but I'm almost certain that it's a GTX 1080

it still looks fake either way so, that's why i had to ask

[rustic pulsar]

do u know the brand (msi, gigabyte, FE)?

[lusty garden]

no brand mentioned

probably a FE (if real)

[green harness]

That looks like it'd be some kind of SI brand

Lenovo, HP, etc brand cards often have a similar look

[rustic pulsar]

i mean it looks like a black 980 but i really have no clue

[green harness]

And that's just a hunch on my part

[lusty garden]

it's very confusing, i reverse searched the image and it brought up some slightly similar 1080 cards

also 8 GB

[rustic pulsar]

ask the seller for a picture of the back with the label clearly visable

[lusty garden]

i did, currently waiting for a response

[green harness]

Yeah a part number would help. ofc you'd want to match a photo to it

[wise plank]

Can you do the same for me, wanna see if anyone can ID this card

[wise plank]

Ty

It's cheap and on ebay and probably fake but I wanna see if anyone can ID it

Claims to be 4GB

"4GB Dual Fan Computer Desktop Gaming Graphics Card 128bit 900MHz PCI-E DirectX12"

[green harness]

Uhhh that description is really suspect

[wise plank]

Thats what I was thinking

[green harness]

Do they not tell you what chip it is?

[wise plank]

It has staggeringly good reviews too

[green harness]

Just reading that I assume it's a scam

[wise plank]

And it doesn't say the chip

I agree

I'm guessing fake reviews

[lusty garden]

okay so i dug further to find out that the card is an OEM card, originally made by MSI but to be included in a DELL prebuild

[wise plank]

Which card

[lusty garden]

^

starting to think it's a good deal but definitely risky

[wise plank]

Idk probably not worth it tbh

When there's a couple red flags it's best to just move on imo

[lusty garden]

yeah not gonna risk it, I'll just stay patient with my 1050ti lol
