Yeah I'm out here running intel HD 4600 lol

Absolute trash

[lusty garden]

christ

[wise plank]

Integrated graphics

[lusty garden]

yeah it's obvious

[wise plank]

On an Intel i5 4570 from 2013

200+ fps on minecraft tho

Probably be lucky to get 4 on anything else tho

I'm thinking that the card I showed earlier is a mining card from when China outlawed crypto mining

There's a lot of listings of it on ebay

[lusty garden]

it does look like a fake 1050ti

[wise plank]

Yeah

[lusty garden]

seen those in some weird ADs

[wise plank]

Yep seems like some wish.com crap

It's sponsored on eBay as well which is weird

Under chip manufacturer it says "for Nvidia"

Definitely another one of those not worth the risk ones

[toxic sinew]

It is a fake 1050 Ti

Guaranteed

It has VGA

It's a GTS 450 or some crap

[lusty garden]

lol vga

[toxic sinew]

This scam has been going on for a couple of years now

Oops

So its just a 1050 fan assembly on top of a crap card

[faint beacon]

hey i have a question that i assume is commonly asked, but i’ll ask cuz i don’t know

what’s the best way to get a 30 series card without overpaying, newegg shuffle is ridiculous in price and would have cost me as much as a 3090 for a 3080

[autumn dune]

I’ve been told that the Newegg shuffles are at msrp

[faint beacon]

1500$ for a 3080?

[autumn dune]

Apparently so

[faint beacon]

they aren’t from newegg, they are resellers

you can check too but what would the best way besides shuffle be

[autumn dune]

The best way to get a high end card without ridiculous prices is to go for a Radeon 6000 series

[faint beacon]

i figured as much, tho not having dlss is a huge deal breaker

[autumn dune]

For $1500 you can get a really good 6900xt

[faint beacon]

and gsync

if i get desperate enough i will prolly go 6900xt

[autumn dune]

Well then if you must go Nvidia then the only way besides Newegg shuffles is Best Buy drops and getting a founders edition directly from Nvidia before the bots do

[faint beacon]

ty

i was talking about how and doesn’t support gsync and that’s a dealbreaker

hence why i wanna go nvidia

also dlss

that’s not what i’m taking about

you can’t use gsync on a amd gpu

yes i do know that

tho gsync is superior,

even then

dlss

need i say more

[fossil talon]

Gsync ~= Freesync

[tall lichen]

tfw I could've gotten a 1060 3GB version

[heady turtle]

Uh no they're basically the same

Also freesync is basically in the display port spec now anyway

[heady turtle]

Dlss is cool but it's only in a handful of games

[fading glacier]

dlss and ray tracing are overrated, dont fall on the "nvidia way more superior than amd" crap

also gsync = freesync

[cerulean rover]

G sync premium, or whatever they're calling it now is different from Freesync, actually has a dedicated chip for fun things

[ivory herald]

best buy drop.

[fading glacier]

yup, camping the drop at best buy is the only way these days

[cerulean rover]

The 200$/year subscription thing does make things harder

And we'll have to wait to see if bb does more in-person drops

[fading glacier]

but the 200$ thing is for online huniting

the camping at site is free... just 2 days camping in advance at your next door best buy

[cerulean rover]

That's when best buy decides to do an in-person drop again

[faint beacon]

i could care less about rtx, but dlss is amazing, especially since they are working on making it compatible with all games with future technologies

[heady turtle]

No dlss is pretty freaking amazing tbf but it's just not in enough games

[heady turtle]

That's only a sometimes thing by the looks of it, right after the subscription drop, next day they did a regular drop

[heady turtle]

I couldn't care less *

Pet peeve when people say that

[faint beacon]

thank you

mobile spell check -___-

[ivory herald]

Driver-side instead of game-dependent DLSS would be a frikkin game changer.

[heady turtle]

Dldsr is on the way apparently

Going to be similar to fsr where it's little to no work for the devs to put into the game iirc

[ivory herald]

Awesome. Might be something that's also not limited to 20/30 series.

[heady turtle]

Idk i meant like fsr as in easy to inject I'm assuming it runs on tensor cores tho

[cerulean rover]

yea, but it seems they get priority with new stock

[ivory herald]

Ah, interesting. Any idea the oldest amd gpu that can use fsr? Tbh I'm not too concerned. Probably give dlss a go someday when owning a newer gpu.

[long forge]

Is a sapphire nitro+ 6800xt better resell value than a normal AMD rx 6800xt?

[green harness]

Looks like 400 series, but idk if this page is up to date https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/radeon-software-fidelityfx-super-resolution

[green harness]

Maybe marginally, why?

[long forge]

Debating which to pick up, $50 more $1350 for the nitro+

[green harness]

Well the AMD reference card is being scalped so there's that. Those are only sold direct by amd and they go for 649

[long forge]

$649 USD, it’s around $800 Canadian yeah

[green harness]

I think that's about right

[long forge]

I’m just thinking after mining is done which would be easier to resell

[green harness]

I think the sapphire has RGB, you would need to check, which people often like

[ivory herald]

Oh yeah, (scrolled down, that's why the newest amd isn't listed). Fsr/dlss sure is neat overall.

[dry kelp]

Just got a powercolor hellhound 6700xt form microcenter, put it in my PC, and it refuses to boot. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

I have yet to find the rest of my power supply cables, so I only have one out of 2 8-pin cables connected

[livid idol]

Well if the gpu isn't properly powered that's the reason it won't boot

[lone pond]

@keen nacelle Theres a 3060ti and a 3070 fe at the bb 40 minutes away

From me

[green harness]

Yeah you need to give it power

[heady turtle]

Very sad indeed tho, just promotes scalpers

[graceful moon]

I had a similar issue with my car. Only had 2 of 4 wheels on but for whatever reason it drive right

[quartz gull]

I have a similar issue with my monitor

if I don't plug it in it stops accepting display port signals for some reason

[gray bloom]

maybe its loose?

[rustic pulsar]

I had a similar issue with my grandpa , he wouldn’t turn on but when I plugged his life support back in, it was too late

[jovial goblet]

its cheaper to buy gpus in other countries

[ripe pagoda]

just bought a rtx 3060 but I currently have an rx 6700 xt, trying to figure out which one I should use and which one to sell because part of me wants nvidia but i know its a downgrade

[heady turtle]

Very big downgrade, only advantages to go nvidia are better ray tracing and dlss(but that kinda ruins the point of that big of a stepdown) and rtx voice

[ripe pagoda]

so your saying its not worth it ?

[heady turtle]

Definitely not

[ripe pagoda]

I play at 1440p

idk if that matters

well thanks for the advice

[heady turtle]

Not really 6700xt is still hands down better

[ripe pagoda]

gotcha

[stark barn]

What are some good PCIE cables that glow that connect to motherboard and gpu(that has 3 slots)

Like these two white ones

[wicked hound]

It'll be DSR AI stuff. Which means higher res then monitor, so like super AA. Might not be temporal like current DLSS cuz it's apparently driver side only and getting stuff like vector motion stuff is basically required 99% of the time for good temporal results. Without vector motion info it's extremely hard to not get ghosting issues.
If it's driver side then basically games arent required to output vector motion

[heady turtle]

Lian li strimmer is what you're looking for afaik

[heady turtle]

Maybe I misunderstand but that's what i remember Escanor saying about it afaik that is a different tech

[wicked hound]

It'll give different outputs. DLSS is like having a FHD display but rendering in HD to then upscale in FHD. DSR is like having an FHD display but rendering in QHD. AI DSR will be like having an FHD display and rendering in FHD to upscale to QHD.
Im expecting AI DSR to either be a meh temporal or not temporal at all due to apparently being driver side only. So AI DSR will have different results then a similar upscaling scenario of DLSS more then likely.

[magic wing]

gonna be closer to rsr

[heady turtle]

Yes but i meant like fsr as fsr is way easier to implement into games over dlss

[heady turtle]

This also works

[normal hawk]

So while its grammatically incorrect. its an idiom and is usable meaning I couldn't care less as a colloquial.

no point in correcting it because the majority of english speakers know what it means.

[heady turtle]

No the idiom is i couldn't care less

[normal hawk]

"could care less
Does not care about something at all. The phrase is a colloquial version of "could not care less." "

[heady turtle]

It's just people saying it wrong

[normal hawk]

its similar to how Literally now means figuratively as well

[heady turtle]

[normal hawk]

English is an evolving language and it gets changed as people use it in different ways.

[heady turtle]

Pretty sure it's just people saying it wrong but sure

[normal hawk]

Thats quite LITERALLY why literally now means figuratively as well. because it was used incorrectly enough and people know what it means. its a new part of english

[heady turtle]

Ehh still don't like it

[normal hawk]

I mean if you DON'T want english to change we could always go back to ye olde english

[green harness]

I think it's fair to say couldn't care less/could care less is still disputed as evidenced here

Could care less bugs me as well

[brisk flame]

nobody says it like that

everyone says "couldn't care less"

[vital oriole]

That word has always confused my non native english brain tbh

[brisk flame]

i think ur just mishearing things

[normal hawk]

Not in the US. there are areas where they say Could Care Less. thats why its a Colloquial

[brisk flame]

ive never heard it said like that bro

literally never

[heady turtle]

Nah it's people being lazy/mishearing the saying and saying it wrong and idm the rest changing and it just reee

[normal hawk]

you've been to everywhere? Spoken to everyone?

[brisk flame]

morons say it wrong, lets leave it at that

[green harness]

It's colloquialism btw

[normal hawk]

Thats how english changes

[green harness]

Not if we reject this change 😆

Unless enough people decide to agree with you and repeat it into the future and entrench it in the language

It's similar to how a bunch of people who loved latin decided to try to apply dumb latin-inspired rules to English and now we're still fighting that nonsense

[normal hawk]

Merriam Websters already said its acceptable. So...

I got the power of the dictionary on my side. 😂

[brisk flame]

its not really nonsense...

it helps us understand how english as a language has evolved

and why we use the words we use today

ofc tons of our words also come from all over the place

like french and stuff

[green harness]

The Latin inspired rules are nonsense and generally lead to very awkward sentence structure. English is germanic in origin, and as you say has borrowed from many languages, but the rules I'm referring to were not beneficial

[brisk flame]

idk i just speak words like the guy next to me

rules and whatnot are mostly irrelevant

even in the creation of new words

[green harness]

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/prepositions-ending-a-sentence-with

[brisk flame]

although typically, the more wellspoken a person is in english and other languages, the less sense new words can make lol

[green harness]

Well yeah, people for example naturally put prepositions at the end of sentences in English but some people have tried to stop this because ???? Latin or something

[brisk flame]

no clue, i didnt even know that was a thing

[heady turtle]

Idk mb because like french r something

[green harness]

The main theory is because Latin, but could be a mix

[rose wave]

You guys can have this Newegg shuffle. I’ll sit out 🥲

[normal hawk]

its not a good one lol

[west dust]

i still tried for a 3080ti

is it worth it if i really want a 3090?

[normal hawk]

Why is this so pretty

[normal hawk]

What are you using the PC for

[west dust]

workstation and gaming

and streaming

[normal hawk]

What workstation tasks

[west dust]

lots of VMs, compiling, some CUDA stuff

also running 2x 4k monitors
1x 2k
and an ultrawide

[normal hawk]

If you can find an affordable 3090 go for it. but the 3090 prices shifted up.

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3090-rtx-3090-ventus-3x-24g-oc/p/N82E16814137596?Item=N82E16814137596 Like 2800$ for a Ventus 3x D:

you'd be better off looking at r/hardwareswap for a 3090

[west dust]

wow 2800

might as well save for an A6000 at that rate

but yeah thanks for the r/hardwareswap tip 🙂

[normal hawk]

A lot of the 3090 posts are moreso them trying to break even. unless its an FE card. so they'll charge you the cards price + tax + paypal fee.

so you'd probably be looking at 2400-2500

potentially lower

[west dust]

that's roughly half an a6000 so thats good

ty so much for the tips 🙂

TripleA#7559 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[long forge]

Which card is considered more Premium and a gamer would buy? Sapphire Nitro+ 6800XT or MSI Trio 6800XT?

[normal hawk]

Which is cheaper

and how much are you paying?

[fading glacier]

premium for a gamer: 3080

[normal hawk]

Depends on the games you play.

[magic wing]

3080ti actually lol

or 6900xt

[normal hawk]

Racing games is AMD Sided for example. only racing game with dlss is F1. While Dirt, Forza, the NFS games, and such run better on AMD GPU's iirc.

[fading glacier]

just saying as the top of the line, 3090 not a gaming card and the 3080 ti is a joke for the price/comparison against a 3080

6900xt is another premium for gamers

[normal hawk]

6800 XT outperforms the 3080 reliably though

lol

[magic wing]

Hmmm so a card that games as well as a 3090 but costs a lot less is a joke price to perf?

idk man

[normal hawk]

My 3080 ti was cheaper than several 3080's now due to the 12gb starting at 1249 and going up from there lol.

[magic wing]

dont just watch half a gamers nexus video and come to conclusions mate

lol

[fading glacier]

hmmm, then i stand corrected

[normal hawk]

the 12gb 3080 is a big waste. the 3080 ti is actually decent compared to the 3070 ti, 3080 12gb, and 3090 ti.

[magic wing]

now the 3070 ti tho

[normal hawk]

as long as you're not paying a ridiculous amount for it of course

[magic wing]

absolute waste over a 3070

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/zotac-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-zt-a30810b-10p/p/N82E16814500527?Item=N82E16814500527

Like this is a bad 3080 ti price. for sure. 1999$

AMP Holo is a good model though. if this was like 1699 I think it'd be suggestible to people.

1599 would be amazing

[mental garnet]

How much y'all think a 750ti would sell for?

[west dust]

theres a 3090 ti?????

[normal hawk]

Not released yet. but yeah

[west dust]

ok im waiting for that then

[normal hawk]

NO

[west dust]

oh

wait why

[normal hawk]

it'll be like 3000$+ and its like 5% better than the 3090.

[west dust]

oh at that price might as well save for an a6000 lmao

so then regular 3090 it still is

neato

[normal hawk]

They made it solely to take #1 performance back from AMD on the 6900XT

Can't upgrade computer cuz of this dang car

Can I say damn

I can say damn

[west dust]

[mental garnet]

Look at that

Damn damn damny damn damn

I just wanna run my games so they can run on at least medium quality lmao. But that ain't possibly now a days without spending 2k on a graphics card

[west dust]

what card do you have now

[mental garnet]

770 lmao

[west dust]

i can send you an ugly looking 1080

it's from the inside of a gigabyte aorus box or whatever

but it works i think
i am using it for folding@home now

[mental garnet]

Lmfao whaaaat

[west dust]

so it seems to work

it doesn't fold very fast so i don't mind parting with it

i can put a titan xp in the box anyway 😎

[mental garnet]

The hell is folding anyway

[west dust]

folding is like
medical research stuff

[cerulean rover]

Folding proteins

[mental garnet]

Gotcha

[west dust]

covid, alzheimers, etc

i feel bad your car's eating your money lol

[normal hawk]

its like mining, but actually beneficial for the world

[long forge]

Price for Saphhire around $1350, the MSI one is a bit more like $1400-$1600 range... Ofcourse 3080 is more premium for gamers but if we had to choose between the 2 for resell after mining which would hold better value?

[mental garnet]

Dm me? Lmao. Yeah I spent like 4 days replacing the CV axles

[cerulean rover]

The desktop app has a simulation for what you're folding iirc

[normal hawk]

if you're willing to go up to 1600 then I'd get the ASrock Formula OC 6900XT. it outperforms the 3090 reliably (except RTX and productivity)

[cerulean rover]

Folding is pretty far from mining in terms of the actual calculation

For mining, 6900xt pretty bad

[long forge]

im looking to get it specifically for mining 6800xt seems to give a good return based on value

[normal hawk]

oh you said premium gamer smh

[long forge]

yes but after mining is done, i think gamers is the target for resale?

[cerulean rover]

Mining is randomly trying hashes for the block, folding is trying to simulate proteins, each simulation matters

[long forge]

so just looking at this more long term i guess we cant really tell

[normal hawk]

When eth crashes then resale will be meh especially since you're already overpaying for a 600-700$ card

[cerulean rover]

Just remember, you reselling also means a lot of other people reselling

[long forge]

is the end date still june/july this year?

[cerulean rover]

PoS keeps getting pushed back, who knows

[long forge]

right now my old pc is just sitting doing nothing, just considering buying something to mine with

something low cost and decent return thats why 6800xt

[normal hawk]

6800 XT for 1300-1600 isn't low cost

[long forge]

oh lol my other option was 3060ti for 950

[normal hawk]

and since they start at 650$ from AMD, once POS goes up there likely won't be as much of a return as you think there is.

[long forge]

but it hashes around 40 versus 6800 at 60s

[cerulean rover]

The thing is, it's just not really worth much any more

[west dust]

im willing to repurpose mining cards for folding 🤓

[long forge]

so youre saying its not really worth getting a gpu to mine with

[west dust]

send em my way 🤓

[normal hawk]

if you really want to mine, the 12gb 2060 has a 31 MH rate and is less than half the cost of the 6800 XT.

so it equals out

[cerulean rover]

Well, if you get one

2070 and 5700xt is the best for hash rate compared to msrp

[normal hawk]

But no ones selling a 5700 XT for less than ~800$ right now.

[cerulean rover]

Ye

[normal hawk]

and when the prices fall, they'll fall like a rock

cause they aren't that good anymore 😂

[cerulean rover]

I upgraded from a 2070 to 3060ti for gaming, but what I'm making from mining has dropped

And nowadays I'm getting like a 1$ a day

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-rtx-2060-dual-rtx2060-o12g-evo/p/N82E16814126548?Item=N82E16814126548

Here ya go. 499 for a 12GB 2060, you can get 2 of them and equal a 6800XT for mining. 😂 for less cost down. reselling will be an issue just about the same I think.

Especially with the negative connotation that mining ruins performance on GPU's despite evidence saying otherwise.

[keen nacelle]

Lhr I'd assume?

Mine makes about 2.5 a day currently

But that's 24hrs

With school I only game a few hours a day, and nothing intense so I leave the miner on

[cerulean rover]

Yea, lhr

I also haven't really tuned it

[keen nacelle]

Is it at stock rn?

[cerulean rover]

I did get my old 2070 to like +1200 vram, my 3060ti atm is just chilling at a uv/uc and +600mhz vram

[keen nacelle]

I know ocing for lhr cards is diff bc dual mining, but my settings are -502 core +1250 mem 55% pl

[cerulean rover]

Iirc it's like 1400mhz 900mv atm

80% pl

[keen nacelle]

You could easily do +900 on mem

Even a trash bin 3060 ti can do that for mining

[cerulean rover]

Yea but I just didn't have time to test stability

[west dust]

is a 2060 really worth $500?

[cerulean rover]

If it crashes as is, I won't be use it for anything for the next month

[cerulean rover]

Hell no, but it's in stock I guess...

[west dust]

ah...

[keen nacelle]

?

[cerulean rover]

It's sitting at my house, I'm away atm

[keen nacelle]

Ahh

Why not use parsec or smthn similar?

[cerulean rover]

I am using parsec

But if it crashes, no one there to turn it back on

[keen nacelle]

I've never had a pc turn off from ocing too far

Even doing +1800 on mem

[cerulean rover]

I have

I was nearly in a boot loop with my old 2070 at +1400

Because I left afterburner on start on startup

Either way, I'd not risk it atm

I'll tune it next time I'm home

[long forge]

thing is im from Canada so its much harder to get things

im limited on options

[mental garnet]

i still need an answer about how much a 750ti would sell for

[keen nacelle]

Maybe 80$? Check ebay sold prices

[wicked hound]

As a fellow CAN, holy hell I can agree with it being ever so fun trying to get GPUs

Entirely location based cuz everything is local only

[long forge]

Maybe you might have a better perspective from my point of view, what would you suggest?

[normal hawk]

Would it maybe be cheaper to cross into the US to get a GPU? I know a lot of canadians who come to minnesota for back to school sales

[wicked hound]

Do you need Nvidia? AMD is way easier to get using AMD Direct Buy

[long forge]

Borders locked right now cuz of Covid too i think

[wicked hound]

They were open at one point recently. Idk if they still are

[normal hawk]

They were thinking 6800XT to mine on then resell.

[long forge]

Isnt AMD directbuy sold out as well? i think i looked yesterday, its just strictly for Mining doesnt matter

yeah something that can mine well and hold value for resell

[wicked hound]

Weekly drops

[long forge]

I already have White ROG strix 3080 right now

[long forge]

How do i get on that?

[wicked hound]

Need to find out what AMD Drop times are. I'd say join a stock discord and ask. They use to be like Wed or Thurs 1PM EST and slowly moved to 10AM EST (this was many months ago now). It's a queue that opens on drop and closes at drop finish (similar to Zotac?).

[long forge]

So these times happen on a weekly basis?

[wicked hound]

Last I heard it was weekly. Tho since I've gotten the GPUs I need I havent kept up to date with it. I doubt it'd change tho

[long forge]

youre right im in this fixitfixt discord, and i see its been weekly and last time was on 2/10 gotta check exact times thanks!

[wicked hound]

Ye, make sure to check the last few times as sometimes each one can be early/late (by hour, not day)

[wise plank]

I found a Quadro k5000 for 200 CAD today, is that worth buying nowadays?

[crisp void]

probably not

4GB of VRAM isn't great

[wise plank]

Can't find much for that price point

I need something faster than a GTX 660

[crisp void]

you should probably try to save up a bit more in honesty

get something like a 6600

[keen nacelle]

that is not a card for gaming

[ivory herald]

Gtx 970 or 1060, hunt for those. Even better would be a 980, but more expensive.

[wicked hound]

980Ti is regularly like $250 CAD on CAN HWS

[wooden fern]

we need another gpu to make fun of, lets get nvidia to make the 2050

[keen nacelle]

they already have

its a mobile gpu

[wooden fern]

oh thats right

[ivory herald]

That actually sounds like a fairly decent price if their budget isn't a tight $200

[autumn dune]

GTX 1670

[mental garnet]

Lmao

[amber tangle]

2060 or 3050

?

[keen nacelle]

Depends on price

Whichever cheaper imo

Theyre pretty similar

[rustic pulsar]

2060 about 15% better

[keen nacelle]

No it isnt

3050=1660 ti with dlss and rtx

[rustic pulsar]

thats what passmark says

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-RTX-2060-vs-GeForce-RTX-3050/4037vs4495

[livid idol]

Passmark isn't the whole story

It's only one benchmark

[keen nacelle]

completely unrelated: whats a 6800xt worth rn to you?

as in whats the most youd pay for one

[livid idol]

$1000 probably

[keen nacelle]

alr

whats the msrp again?

for the reference

800?

[livid idol]

Amd didn't do official msrp

But the reference model is $650

AIB starting around $800

[keen nacelle]

650? wow

[rustic pulsar]

3080 is $699

[keen nacelle]

i know

i thought itd be much higher

considering 6700xt is 500

[rustic pulsar]

my rule of thumb is to get the best card for every other generation, i had a 1080 ti and planned on waiting for the 3090 but too much $$$

[vapid owl]

Can a 3080 run stable 4k ?

[rustic pulsar]

easily

[keen nacelle]

depends what settings you want and what frames

as well as game

in some games it will struggle with ultra 60fps

[rustic pulsar]

^^

[vapid owl]

😳

Too bad there a dumb shortage

😢

[keen nacelle]

id recommend just 1440p tbh

unless running over 32in

[rustic pulsar]

gamer

[keen nacelle]

whats with it

[rustic pulsar]

just the card

[keen nacelle]

ima be honest

hell nah

[rustic pulsar]

but i can put natsuki on the gpu since it has a little display thing

also ive been riding on a 2060+$500 and have 100 from that i wannit

power slots on it look to be an 2x4, 2x4, and 2x3, idk if I have a 2x3, will it come with an adaptor or no?

[green harness]

Uhhh AIB 6800xt is over 1k USD from everything I've seen

Like 1.3 easy

[livid idol]

Sure, now it is

But that's not original price

[green harness]

No, but saying AIB starting at 800 now is just misleading. Hasn't been close to that in ages

[green harness]

I was selected for that too. Too expensive imo

[livid idol]

We were talking about msrp
Not current prices

[green harness]

MSRPs have gone up (except on the reference model)

They're not static

EVGA has done it like two or three times and they haven't raised prices as much as others

[keen nacelle]

bacteria

[green harness]

Brettanomyces (a yeast used in sour/wild beer)

[green harness]

Fungus

[livid idol]

Retail price and msrp are different. The msrp is a suggested price by the manufacturer. That doesn't change. What can change is the actual retail price, according to market conditions.

[normal hawk]

https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-RX-6000-GPU-prices-to-increase-by-10-reference-and-custom-cards-will-be-affected.581238.0.html

That does indeed change

and the only AMD cards that were ever at "MSRP" are the reference cards available from AMD Direct. Everything else has been from 1.5x to 2x MSRP the whole time.

[green harness]

Manufacturers have changed their MSRP. See EVGA

I gave an example before you made that statement which refutes it

[rustic hatch]

Who wanna bet rtx 4080 price will start at like £1000 cus they giving you the big F U

[livid idol]

That's basically what the leaks and rumors point at

Double performance, at nearly double power draw, heat, and price

[normal hawk]

Buy a 1300W PSU while you can

[rustic hatch]

Oof I just assumed they would just set the msrp high cus they can there competing with scalpers and they know people would buy a 4060 for like £600

[normal hawk]

That is the reason yeah

[rustic hatch]

Why are u a vpi

VIP*

[normal hawk]

Cause i talk a lot

[rustic hatch]

Idk if that's sad or not

Think it's more sad that I linked my phone number to my discord just to talk here ...

[livid idol]

Not like anyone here can see the phone number anyway. It's just an anti-bot feature.

[quartz gull]

I bet you I could set up a bot using a service like text now to generate working phone numbers for a large number of accounts

While it helps I don't think it's going to limit botting as much as a lot of people think

[long forge]

@wicked hound the AMD queue is happening, are the prices in USD or CAD? I remember you were saying youre from Canada too

[wicked hound]

Prices should be in CAN

[long forge]

it reminds of the ontario covid vaccine booking site....the little person walking

omg estimated more than hour

[wicked hound]

Yeah may not get it this round then

[long forge]

people are using multiple browsers...etc? wow

[wicked hound]

Probs multi proxies

[keen nacelle]

I got over an hour on my phone and laptop

Not gonna get anything if it's over 45min most likely

[normal hawk]

Woah that shuffle is awful

[quartz gull]

Can we go back to 2018/2019 where Nvidia was struggling to move 20 series stock

Where their price to performance had consequences

I remember everyone calling out how absolutely terrible the entire line up price to performance was

No one would ever buy a 2080ti for that price!

Now 3 years later people think a 3090 at $1500 is a must but steal.

[normal hawk]

Hey @quartz gull , wait for the 6000H mini pc's to do your gamecube PC. RDNA2 APU's 😮

[quartz gull]

omg that's actually smart

Do they have benchmarks on the apus yet?

I'm curious how absurd they are

[keen nacelle]

last i knew, either the 660m or 680m (only apus that are confirmed) performed the same as a 1650, but that was as of december

with proper drivers and such, it could be higher

[livid idol]

This is one thing we have so far https://youtu.be/wNSFKfUTGR8

They got like 85 fps in forza 5 on 1080p low, and that's a laptop

[heady turtle]

thats pretty good for a laptop apu

[west dust]

[golden badger]

hi

[brisk dew]

hi all... anyone can help is appreciated..

is rtx 3050 compatible with 3950x ? not sure where to find info for this..

[livid idol]

Yes

[solemn panther]

mmm

strange combo

[open elbow]

So I have a super old build and am planning to do a fresh one this year, but I'm the meantime a friend of mine has an old RTX 2080 he's wanting to get rid of and I was wondering if there are compatibility issues at all with newer cards and older boards?
For reference, I'm currently running:

Asus Maximus VII Hero
i7 4790k
1660 Super

Would I run into any issues if I slotted an RTX card into this ancient mobo?

[livid idol]

Nope. No issues. PCI-e is totally cross compatible.

[open elbow]

Oh amazing, that's wonderful news! Thanks for the response 💕

[ivory herald]

Look at my setup as a comparison. Even my z77 mobo has pcie 3.0, that's how old the spec is (but not a bottleneck for anything besides maybe a 3090 & the top 1 or 2 amd cards) 👍

[livid idol]

Nah 3090 works fine at 3.0 x16

3.0 x8, maybe a bottleneck in certain things but probably not in gaming much

[quartz gull]

Wait you're telling me I don't need my pcie 5.0 x16 for my 3070???

But what about the spec sheet

5 > 3!

[normal hawk]

Also with better cooling that you could fit on the mini PC. And when DDR5 is faster lol.

Overclocking champ right there

[ivory herald]

I be mistaken and that's good to hear. I'd think few people with a 3090 wouldn't go 4.0 quick, even if it's simply related to a cpu upgrade perhaps.

[normal hawk]

Which pcie riser should i get

[west dust]

What kind of riser

[normal hawk]

For a GPU. To put it in a console sized case so it has to be pretty flexible

[west dust]

Still not sure what kind of riser you mean 😅

An extension cable?

[normal hawk]

Yes. A riser cable.

Pcie to pcie

For GPU's

[west dust]

Ah ok im also familiar with mining risers that are actually switches, so i wasnt sure lol

[normal hawk]

Ew

Mining risers

[west dust]

Theres a cable i used - let me get a link

LINKUP - Ultra PCIe 4.0 X16 Riser Cable [RTX3090 RX6900XT x570 B550 Z690 Tested] Shielded Extreme High-Speed Vertical Mount Gaming PCI Express Gen4┃Universal 90 Degree Socket{30cm}-3.0 Gen3 Compatible https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09CHHR5VD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_HJXPSFE4NXB2HSG6TZ7X?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[quartz gull]

You should get that nzxt one

the one that was lighting on fire

[fair socket]

So just finished a new build with a 3050 that just came in. I get an American Megatrends screen saying my gpu is not detected and CSM is turnt on. I tried to find it in the device manager and no luck.

[ruby surge]

I just got a 3050 letsss gooooo pairing it with a 12400f

[livid idol]

You have the power plugged into it right?

It happens all the time lol

[fair socket]

Yeah i checked the cables and everything

[livid idol]

Ok. You've got it in the top x16 slot, right?
Take it out and put it back in the slot, checking for any cables and things in the way

[fair socket]

Yeah i also did that. Also inserted it on the bottom slot too but nothing. It turns on like normal though. The rgb and everything, even connecting a monitor to the DP.

[livid idol]

Perhaps a bios update will help

[gray bloom]

congratsa

[frail dew]

less go won the shuffle today

suprim rtx 3070ti

[gray bloom]

i want 3080 suprimx

if only i can exhangemy 3080 zotac for suprim x sad

[rustic pulsar]

It comes with a surprise in the box

[heady turtle]

[magic wing]

https://tenor.com/view/finding-nemo-seagulls-mine-gif-4610097

[heady turtle]

Lol

[timid narwhal]

you got an FE card. are you a genie?

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yes-yes-gif-22948122

[timid narwhal]

cant belive youre gonna be using it for mining. Those cards are too beautoful for that

[heady turtle]

It's actually going to be my gaming /mining card as it's only 2 slots and i only have matx board

And my 3070 is 2.5 slots

[timid narwhal]

oh right

[heady turtle]

Literally touching each other

Also because 3060 ti is only 8 pin connector i don't have to worry about getting another pcie power

https://tenor.com/view/power-rangers-best-mates-dance-might-morphin-power-rangers-running-gif-17779998

[magic wing]

only for a few months

then its MINE

[hasty monolith]

Is 2060 12gb any good

[heady turtle]

It's about halfway between 2060 and 2060 super so it's fine but I've never seen it at a semi decent price

[hasty monolith]

I could do 4k30 at low right

[magic wing]

depends on game

and dlss support

but in general nop

[ivory herald]

Yeah you could do youtube/movies at 4k30 😅. 30fps on games sounds like torture.

[heady turtle]

Why would you do that 🤮 do 1440p60 anyday of the week, highly consider 1080p144hz

30fps in games is a slideshow

[magic wing]

smh human eye cant see over 24 fps anyway

thats why movies are in 24fps

[heady turtle]

[hot folio]

…wait the 2060 12gb actually came out?

[wicked hound]

Anyone know how this works? I've tried it on my games folder and it didnt do anything.

[frail dew]

The hdmi adapter right

[heady turtle]

Yes they just silently announced it

[heady turtle]

What are you trying to do?

[wicked hound]

Trying to fix the dumb gsync issues Im having. Basically whenever PC/monitor goes to sleep when gsync is on I'll have to restart gsync else Ill get flickering in games. As of now my fix was to try to only have gsync be enabled on my games folder and disabled globally by using profiles. Tho the folder profile didnt work

[heady turtle]

Ohh weird

Have you tried ddu ing?

[wicked hound]

98% sure I tried that before. I'll probs try it again after my class.

My current solution is to keep it disabled and manually enable it when I want to play a game. Tho it's a bit of a pain to do things manually.

[heady turtle]

Yeah that's a pita

[wicked hound]

On the bright side I learned that monitors have drivers during my crusade to fix this

Specifically, my current monitor has downloadable drivers

[heady turtle]

Yeah most download through windows update tho

[rustic pulsar]

no, even better, its so high quality it feels like an apple product

[frail dew]

Wait what it is

[keen nacelle]

i think in december iirc

if not early january

[rustic pulsar]

You’ll have to wait and see

[keen nacelle]

there were just so few of them it was rare to see them anywhere

[frail dew]

Oh come on just tell me

[rustic pulsar]

Okay, stickers!!!

No I’m joking it comes with a nice mousepad

[keen nacelle]

Yo @normal hawk you near a microcenter?

$600 3050 ti 11800h laptop https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/specialofferacergaminglaptop.aspx

[normal hawk]

Eh, my brothers job closed down. So he's kinda broke now.

[heady turtle]

That's hot

[heady turtle]

#tech-deals that

[keen nacelle]

ahh, rip

It's an 85w 3050 ti

[heady turtle]

Still

[keen nacelle]

That makes it better

Almost full power

Mine is I think 55w

[normal hawk]

Oh that would definitely be nice

[heady turtle]

85w is probs standard for a 3050 ti

[keen nacelle]

i tested mining on it for the memes, just to test temps bc why not

on raven it maxed out at 55w

i think i can check power limit with gpu-z though

[frail dew]

Oh yeah I forgot about that

[heady turtle]

Just load up furmark and hwinfo/gpu z

[keen nacelle]

not worried about the temps

temps are great on it for gpu

cpu meh

[heady turtle]

I meant for wattage

[keen nacelle]

cant you just check in gpu-z anyways

[cerulean rover]

Can't tell what pl is without knowing from vbios or testing

[heady turtle]

Not that ik of without max load

[cerulean rover]

If you know what vbios you have and it's in the tpu database you can find it there

If not, just furmark it or smth

[keen nacelle]

it looks like its 80w from dell website

cant tell for sure though because why would dell make anything simple

all im going off of

ill have to do the furmark thing tho

[heady turtle]

Simple way, google your model number + tdp and hope notebook reviews has a review or furmark

[keen nacelle]

would msi show it properly?

in a timespy bench?

that gave a max power usage of 61.7w

which obviously isnt a possible wattage lol

so prolly 65?

[keen nacelle]

rx 560s seem to be decently priced

[keen nacelle]

i was very wrong and very blind

i needa find my glasses

84.3w its maxed out at

so its 85w max

[keen nacelle]

decided to mess with ocing on it again, because i had timespy and msi open anyways

got 7th and it looks like +240 core and +650 mem is stable now

that bench is about to finish

wait

it went up to 85.7w

during the bench

does that mean its 90w?

[normal hawk]

Some people are so obsessive with the strix models

[keen nacelle]

strix only gpu that matters

strix 980 ti> kingpin 3090

[normal hawk]

Why no aorus extreme love.

[keen nacelle]

because higher price mean better

[normal hawk]

Imagine getting a kingpin to replace with a waterblock.

Lmfao

And then why is the FTW3 ultra up there for the 3090 with it's manufacturing issue in the past. :')

[keen nacelle]

i could buy a 3080 for essentially 1k rn

diy kit

ftw3

[normal hawk]

Do it

[keen nacelle]

my bank account is crying rn

also i think my mother would kill me

even though my 3060 ti going to a miner would pay for it

nvm, 10gb is oos alraedy anyways

[normal hawk]

😅 pssssh she'll be happy when she sees those crisp frame rates

Oof

[keen nacelle]

went oos when i verified it was me anyways

wait

fudge

its letting me go through with it

the dilemma

[normal hawk]

Do it

[keen nacelle]

mmmmm

[normal hawk]

You'll be like mom I'm broke but look at these crisp frame rates with RTX on

[keen nacelle]

i need someone to tell me not to not to tempt me

[normal hawk]

And she'll be like woah that's crazy.

[keen nacelle]

i cant, im going to wait for a bb drop, i like having a roof over my head

its absolutely tempting though

[normal hawk]

Do it. Unconditional love won't kick you out

[keen nacelle]

it is very conditional

[normal hawk]

My friend has a FE 1080 ti. Its so pretty 😍

[keen nacelle]

on the condition i dont buy expensive sh** she deems stupid lol

shes fine with me buying a 3080 for under 900$

nvm anyways

[normal hawk]

Tell her it'd help a lot with 3d modeling

Oof

[keen nacelle]

lol

i also want to buy a 1650, 1050 ti, 1050, or rx 560 for my SO anyways

though the money for that is going to come from mining

[normal hawk]

None if those are well priced used except on hardware swap

[keen nacelle]

on a good note

im now 7th for 3050 tis

[keen nacelle]

facebook marketplace is decently priced where i live

as well as where my SO lives

[normal hawk]

Better off going for a 3050 unless you absolutely need a LP card

Ah

[lone pond]

What is a so

[keen nacelle]

its a 3400g pre built

significant other

[lone pond]

Ohhh

[keen nacelle]

im hopefully going down to visit in april

so ill check what it is then

[normal hawk]

Bacca have you looked at the Ayn Odin at all?

[keen nacelle]

or ill have their friends dad check

he knows pcs

[keen nacelle]

?

[normal hawk]

Android gaming tablet with a snapdragon 845 in it.

[keen nacelle]

no clue what a snapdragon 845 is either

[normal hawk]

They loaded windows 11 onto it and it actually performs pretty well in games for a (mobile ARM device)

[normal hawk]

Phone soc

[keen nacelle]

what games?

and whats it cost?

[normal hawk]

289$ for the pro version.

Only 64gbs of storage which is the main issue.

Skyrim managed to get 30fps at 720p(i think). So about Nintendo switch performance

[keen nacelle]

wow

[normal hawk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NADjIc9uNk&t=731s&ab_channel=TakiUdon

Better Skyrim performance actually

[keen nacelle]

thats insane

[normal hawk]

Yea :D

It loses performance on windows 11 though for Geekbench

[keen nacelle]

any clue if 85.7w on my 3050 ti means if its 85w or 90w?

[normal hawk]

No clue

[keen nacelle]

im 100% sure its not 100w or 95w

im over 200pts behind first, but my core and mem clocks are higher

[normal hawk]

Is there not a way to figure it out?

[keen nacelle]

and temps are similar

[keen nacelle]

benching and watching the tdp

[normal hawk]

Oh that's lame

[keen nacelle]

normally youd be able to check on dells site

but they stopped selling this model of g15

and they cant make anything simple

[keen nacelle]

i thought itd be 80w

because of this

it gives me an option to "view product specs"

but its just a ton of illegible crap that ive no clue what it means

[normal hawk]

With this kinda performance just wait til windows is optimized for the M1

🤤

[keen nacelle]

?

[normal hawk]

If they can get this performance on a mobile arm cpu., the m1 is not really a mobile arm cpu. \

[keen nacelle]

doesnt apple lock their products to IOS?

[normal hawk]

You can dual boot on a m1 mac im sure.

oh my god. an m1 Ipad with windows 11 on it 😳

If it's even possible would be pretty neat

[keen nacelle]

well

apparently the max wattage 3050 ti is 80w, according to google

yet mine is getting slightly over 85

makes sense

thats according to notebookcheck actually

according to other sites, its 75w

confusion

[lone pond]

do y'all know where to get a 3070 in canada

[keen nacelle]

[spare relic]

in Canada

[keen nacelle]

it has it for ca

[spare relic]

that's where they'll find them

in Canada

[keen nacelle]

ah

[keen nacelle]

any idea what what the max wattage of a 3050 ti is?

and if its under 85w why is mine able to use over the max wattage

[spare relic]

thne number they give you is the tdp, thermal design power, which is baseline?

and it will exceed the baseline

idk

my 970 oesn't seem to exceed the tdp

[solemn panther]

Lmao. You're supposed to be the no bully edition, rommy

[brisk flame]

😎

[gray bloom]

does best buy sstill drop gpu?

[heady turtle]

Yes

[livid idol]

Online only lately

And recently some drops exclusive for their $200 membership club

[keen nacelle]

Lol, 3dmarks #1 "2060" gets more points than a 3070

Over 15k

100% a 2060, nothing else

It's a 3080 lmao

Wait

Nvm

2080 ti

11gb vram

[heady turtle]

Probably had a 2060 in the system to trick 3d mark

[keen nacelle]

Yeye

Idk why people bother doing that

[heady turtle]

Or like 4 2060s

[keen nacelle]

Nah it shows quantity, but some of the top benches right below it are 2x2060

[heady turtle]

Ahh okay

[shell mason]

3090 comes in today boys 😁

So excited, got the ASUS rog strix for $1800 USD after taxes

[heady turtle]

That's a steal

[pearl tusk]

🤣

at those prices better work with that gpu

pay it off lol

i would

[green harness]

Still sounds like they dodged the Strix tax somehow

That card is normally like 400 more before tax

[pearl tusk]

nuts

[green harness]

Strix tax is unfortunate

[pearl tusk]

i bought a 1070ti 2nd hand 250 usd

[green harness]

Yeah this tbh

[magic wing]

Me getting a 150-200 euro founders edition 3060ti in a few months

Get on my level

[green harness]

I just got a 3060 Ti off Newegg (they've started just dropping cards again, got it Wednesday iirc) but it was like 670 pre tax iirc because Strix tax

[magic wing]

Ily pato

[pearl tusk]

200 euro is 288.66 cad

?

[green harness]

🤔

Did they want a Strix specifically or something?

[magic wing]

Shhhhhhhhh

[green harness]

Oh, well that's not getting it for that low price then

[pearl tusk]

i had the dough to buy one but i think i did better lol

[green harness]

Just misleading people then

[magic wing]

Don reveal me secrets

Nah but ill pay only 200 euro cash

Maximum

[green harness]

And pay like two thirds of the cost in what?

Ah nice

[magic wing]

Mining

[green harness]

Nice. I'm hoping my number gets called for the 3050 sometime soonish

[green harness]

So mining for whoever got the card for you?

Still paying for it then. idk people get confused enough about how pricing works without confusing em more

Yeah that's how I ordered the 60Ti. I tried to get the dual (like $50 less) but it went too fast

😮

I'm passing my Strix on at cost

[magic wing]

Well

Not exactly

[green harness]

But I also don't do this as any kind of business so just passing on to a friend not a client

[magic wing]

Nope im not gonna be mining

Because my government no likey very much

He mine on it till i has enough moners to pay it off fully - whatever he gets from mining

[green harness]

Ah got it

[magic wing]

Government is gonna be cracking down on mining with a 30% tax to crypto mined and me mining to an offshore account will technically be tax evasion

[green harness]

That could take a while with how prices have been

[magic wing]

He got a founders edition at msrp

[green harness]

Yeah I get that. And you build PCs and such to make some money right?

[green harness]

Ok, mining profitability has also tanked

Yeah that's what I'm saying. I basically just try to pass on cards I happen to get in low effort ways (EVGA queue, shuffle, occasional lucky drop online). You put in more time to do it consistently

Even putting in minimal effort I have secured a bunch of cards

I'm on like 5 or 6 at this point. Can't even remember anymore

[magic wing]

I have 4 months minimum till i can get the card from him anyway even if i had money to pay him rn

[green harness]

Nice haul

I'm proud I got two 3080 10gbs. But that was also shuffle luck

Ah, I have a "real job" so not a lot of time for a committed search and no interest to tie up capital building full systems. The MC nearest me is also far enough to not make sense

[magic wing]

Bofa us got crazy lucky with the gpus last week

[green harness]

Oh no, any idea what's going on?

My 80Ti is going strong. I'm a little curious if this Strix card is heavier though

I'll check

[magic wing]

Reflash vbois

[green harness]

What model?

I know the EVGA 3080Ti xc3s had an issue getting into bios over dp

[pearl tusk]

?

[green harness]

Mine still prefers to show bios on my second monitor which is via hdmi

[pearl tusk]

my gpu hdmi stops at 1080p🤣

dp 4k 60

[green harness]

Rommy, do any sites collect the weight of GPUs? I can only find full package weight. That shows the 60ti Strix as about half a pound heavier than my card.
I'm just curious, there's no need for this info really

Could be a bios issue, I think after I updated vbios the issue improved but it still prefers hdmi

[heady turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-suspect-gif-22611582

[green harness]

Nice. I haven't personally used one. By the time I started getting FTW3s I already had my xc3 80Ti so I just went with it

Got an 80 and 80Ti ftw3

[heady turtle]

after selling an rx 570 and mining

At one point I told myself the one way I would buy an 80Ti would be if I got the lowest tier EVGA one.

Then I got the offer to purchase the day that queue opened

[magic wing]

Should do 4k30

[green harness]

I had paid like 1050 for the 3080 that I passed on to my brother when I got the 80Ti and I figured it was close enough even though 80Ti value is and was bad

[magic wing]

Not selling rx570 anymore

[green harness]

Oh the day I bought the 60ti I also "won" the Newegg shuffle, but I let that one go due to pricing

Was the Aorus 70ti

Traveling?

Nice!

I love Berlin

Potsdam is close and worth it as well

idk what it's like now with everything though

🤞

[pearl tusk]

on hdmi

1070ti

[normal hawk]

Woah

There are a tons of 3000 series GPU's in bundles right now from the 3050 up to the 3090. Literally all of them. Various models too.

[keen nacelle]

What's the cheapest one on a 3050?

[normal hawk]

Gross 🤢 https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4471736

[keen nacelle]

Ew

Was hoping it'd be like $400 with a psu

[normal hawk]

Woah. This 3070 bundle if you're building a new PC is great.

Spendy on the Mobo but GPU price is great

Could probably spin the motherboard for like, 190$ maybe?

Just increase the price of the card by 118$. Smh i don't want the ewaste

[normal hawk]

@sterile parcel https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4452849

Your dream card.

Imagine getting a strix 3050, 12100f. And putting the rest of the budget elsewhere into cooling, the motherboard, and so on. So it looks really fancy for no reason

[shell mason]

She so sexy, so excited

[normal hawk]

Woah

1800$ for the strix is crazy

Especially since the 12gb 3080 strix is 1600$

[shell mason]

Crazy

Looks legit boys

[normal hawk]

Did you also trade a GPU in?

[shell mason]

No sit

Sir

[normal hawk]

How the heck

[shell mason]

Will put her in now, fingers crossed

[green harness]

Let us know how it goes

Seems like a long time with no update though....

[normal hawk]

The 3080 I had was almost too long for the case. like the tip of the cooler is touching the end of the space lol.

the Coolermaster 750W PSU was really nice cause it came with shorter cables than the Corsair one I had did, so there was a lot of open area to work with. Had the cables been the same length as the corsair one the 3080 would definitely not have fit cause theres not a lot of space to cable manage lol.

[green harness]

So uhhh everything ok with it?

[heady turtle]

Owo

[normal hawk]

Pato

[green harness]

Should we start taking bets on whether that 90 Strix is dead or if Nick is too busy enjoying it to let us know how it turned out?

[cerulean rover]

Or, they're having too much fun using it to report back

[normal hawk]

Maybe their PSU didn't have enough wattage.

[green harness]

I said that

[normal hawk]

Maybe it's actually a GTS 450

So it crashes whenever they install 3090 drivers

[shell mason]

@green harness yessir

she seems genuine, loading up FH5 and will be cranking to max to see

my case just has good airflow, I'll have to see how hot it gets under load

I can't either, exactly lmao

[normal hawk]

The Aorus extreme cooler on the 3090 is really good. Probably cause it's a 4slot GPU

You'll get one eventually rommy

Try r/hardwareswap

Lots of people are asking for strix 3090's in my area

Like why lol

Why get the strix or kingpin to waterblock it

That's what the Ventus 3x is for.

Although the Ventus 3x is more expensive cause MSI

Well they just want any strix

They are selling the white strix

Do they have water locks that also cool the back of the 3090?

Cause the 12gbs ddr6x on the back of the 3090 are not happy with the AIO Aorus 3090. (Non hybrid unlike the blower kingpin, Seahawk, or strix)

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4436617 Strix 3080 Ti Hybrid

Ye lol

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4456706

1649 for a 3080 ti isn't too bad imo. this one is 3x8 pin shockingly enough.

That Mobo came with my 3090. I gave it away to a friend who's PC caught on fire

I wish they had bundles with ITX boards.

if Asus was like, ITX B560/B550 Board and Phoenix 3060/3050. I'd buy it.

Most ITX cases I'd look at are all mesh so theres quite a bit of airflow.

oh wow, that monitor that asus is bundling with GPU's is a 360hz monitor. lol

Lmao

[green harness]

Nice! Did you bench it?

[shell mason]

not yet

about to, will be running 3dmark

[green harness]

What's it run at idle and full load?

[green harness]

Nice, hoping (and assuming) it crushes Timespy and Port Royal!

Ah, yeah that's always hot

I don't think anything other than maybe a waterblocked card gets gddr6x down much

Hybrid coolers at least do well with the die itself

Wow. Why's it so hot? Is that while mining or something?

Yeah it should not be that hot

What case and fans?

[magic wing]

I didnt know I was ur FTW3 3090

[green harness]

Huh, I wouldn't have thought it'd be that hot. Maybe a particularly bad mount somehow for the vram

How fast are the case fans running?

Maybe run them faster?

Is there an easy way to control case fans outside of bios?

[magic wing]

motherboard software

[green harness]

hmmm, I'm looking at armory crate again and it doesn't seem to provide many good options

Maybe I'm on an old version though

[shell mason]

without OCing CPU or GPU yet

[green harness]

Nice!

I bet you can push that GPU further though

Will be interesting to see if you can crack 21k

[normal hawk]

Does overclocking help with game performance much? 😅 Or is it like just a frame or 2 more?

Also aren't we still CPU bound in most games so most of the benefit from overclocking the GPU is lost?

Dang ZOTAC 3080 e.e

[cerulean rover]

You'll have to do your own testing

[green harness]

This depends on resolution. If you're gaming at 1440p or 4k you're going to be GPU bound in many games (possibly most modern games)

At 1080p you're much more likely to be limited by your cpu

My PC is usually GPU bound on modern titles (5600x + 3080 Ti)

[quartz gull]

Actually can you find any examples where you're cpu bound with a 5600x?

I'm curious

[green harness]

1080p in plenty of cases

If you look at benches of intel 12th gen you'll see examples of a cpu providing more frames with the same GPU

[livid idol]

MMOs

Which is why I'm happy ESO has DLSS now

[green harness]

Many more games than just mmos

[livid idol]

Yeah I know. That's just an easy genre to generalize as an example.

[gray bloom]

hows 980ti on todays game?

[livid idol]

Depends on the games but in general it handles 1080p high pretty well in modern titles

[keen nacelle]

esports, max in most, if not all games, AAA games, probably 1080p medium

[dusty hare]

What games?

[slim jetty]

Is $750 good for a zotac white amp 3060ti?

[lone pond]

meh

[slim jetty]

Im tryna get white for colorscheme

[lone pond]

Yeah that would look nice

[vital oriole]

it's not bad

i'd get it myself if i was desperate enough

[solemn panther]

[spark gyro]

Would you rather have a rtx 3050 or a 6500 xt ?

[vital oriole]

3050

6500xt mega trash

[gray bloom]

can elden ring handle it? @dusty hare

or can 980ti handle elden ring at med setting

[normal hawk]

It'll be fine

[green harness]

6500xt shouldn't exist as it is

[gray bloom]

its cheap

thats what I can say about it

gets the job done just for playing

fps maybe not the best

[green harness]

Not really

It's severely hamstrung by design

[gray bloom]

if u want new gen and on a very tight budget that might be the key

and not playing demanding games

[green harness]

Nah, a used older card is better than the 6500xt

[gray bloom]

i dont see anything cheaper than 6500xt in my area

1650 is way expensive here than 6500xt

[green harness]

My impression has been Rx 580s and such are generally a better but and often at similar prices. The used market differs from place to place, but I would not buy a 6500xt and I would really avoid it if I had a gen 3 board

[vital oriole]

it doesn't get the job done at all

[green harness]

It's a really bad gpu

[vital oriole]

when there's used cards for similar price

with better perf

also if you're running pcie 3.0 system
