Ok. I because I believe the 4kd only supports up to 240 on the top
@hot folio you know?
not for the price
can get a 6900xt for just a bit more
then what do i get
the gpu in this parts list
isn't that the gpu that i sent you
oh wait
sorry i misread what it was
i thought it was a 6800xt
my bad
yeah thats fine
ok and will it fit in that case with a liquid cooling system? @keen nacelle
idk what that means tbh i just saw some people having problems with there gpu's not fitting in there case so i just wanted to know if that graphics card will fit in the "Phanteks Eclipse P500A D-RGB ATX Mid Tower Case" with a 3 fan liquid cooling system @keen nacelle
you dont have to ping me in every message
i have other things going on
i will respond when i respond
ok
aren't they the same price
well its original price is $1700 is that worth it
Would ultrawide be taken into account on Timespy? Or does it always try to do the same "Resolution"? Why would I lose a lot of performance on the same set up between 2 benchmarks with no thermal throttling?
Hey, I’ve been having a problem with crashing on my GTX 1650, ever since my power supply’s cooling became damaged it sometimes just stops, and only shows one frame until the power is off. Does not show the shutting down screen.
They would try to do the same resolution. Although ultrawide might mean there's extra calculations since different aspect ratio, but iirc time spy is always rendered at 2560x1440 and TSE always 3840x2160
Cause i lost like 2k. Points in both GPU and CPU. No settings changed. Temps not anywhere near throttling.
So no blue screen and just hard crash?
how does freq comparison chart look, and multiple runs on each, correct?
Yeah.
wacky
I believe you can bench ts with the window off screen, maybe you could try that
Ye. I'll try that.
Yea
Somewhat sounds like your PSU's protection is just popping to shut the PC off to protect yourself if the PSU has become damaged..?
Maybe, I’m getting a new case so that I can move fans around and put one back in my psu.
thank you tho
I have an absolute dinosaur PC with a 275W power supply so you really never know with this old piece of junk. I put the 1650 in cause I got it for free so I’m not even sure my PSU is strong enough for the card.
uh, I would not open up the psu or re-use it at all if its being questioned
would rather spend like 60$ on a good replacement psu than risk having to do that
You can actually die if u touch something ur not supposed to in the psu
lol, I’m lucky I ain’t dead then I’ve tinkered so much with that thing
Those capacitors hold a charge that'll kill ya quickly
lucky my heart is beating at that rate.
I just am trying to slowly upgrade my pc but it’s so old and I have no money so I kinda just have to buy a whole new PC
gonna slap down link for formula gold as a good atx psu in general
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07771GXGZ
but since it is standard ATX, might not fit in old proprietary case and all
thank you, my new case is coming tommorow anyway so it should fit just fine in a mid tower.
Hopefully your mobo is standard too
Some boards are wacky with proprietary power connectors
No mine is alright I think, me and my friends tried to jam a atx setup and into an itx setup that had the wrong motherboard, I learnt a lot and know that my intel mobo, yes, intel. Does have regular connectors
u probably won’t know half the names on this list of specs cause it’s such a dinosaur but I’ll drop em.
i5 3470
gtx 1650
275w intel power supply
intel q75 express (mobo)
and 16gb of ddr3 ram
Should be standard
although I think q75 express should use standard 24pin but product images makes it look like its not the case
3470 is not that old
Its also better than the FX 6300 I'm pretty sure. Good lil i5
Does this seem ok for a 6900xt?
Gotcha. Its the ASrock phantom gaming one
I keep forgetting to check newegg
Or spend 100 dollars more and get a Sapphire Nitro+ https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-6900-xt-11308-03-20g/p/N82E16814202403
Meh i mean you can but not really worth it
Which card do you guys think will holds it value better a Sapphire Nitro+ 6800xt or 3080FE?
Whichever one is cheaper - because it will be closer to msrp
I'm partial against Sapphire. I used to have the X1950 Sapphire, burned out within a year. Though that's 2007 standards
Personal experience doesn't mean it's a big problem tho
It could just be a faulty unit
Unless the problem was actually widespread
Nitro is also a great card
Hm, do you guys know what the MSRP for the Sapphire Nitro+ 6800xt, cant seem to find it
Doesn't matter it depends how much you get it, and after the shortage you'll roughly be comparing to msrp
Yes but i mean, I dont know what the MSRP price is, just wondering if you guys know, i cant find it by doing a search
Just for an example throwing it out there, Let say i got for $1300, what is the real MSRP? MSRP now or MSRP before? lol
1300?
$1300 Cad. sorry
Yes but i mean reference edition cards msrp ie like 650 usd
What’s with no shuffles recently
There's been more just in stock gpus
tbh in stock better than shuffle anyway
cause shuffle has inflated prices these days
I mean prices still aren’t great
i know
but better than having to pray for shuffle win
when you can bite the bullet and get the card asap
4000 series set to come out, loool
$5,000 for the 4080, bet
eh
that tag is probably for mega scalped ones
like stupidly scalped that no one would even buy
Nah I'd expect similar to 3080 pricing now -actual not FE
TIL, thanks
I didn't know they had straight up in-stock gpus
Yeah just started doing it
Is Raedon (or whatever it is) cheaper than GeForce?
at the moment, 6900xt is nearly half the price of 3090 in this market
Oh wow
Is there a reason for that hardware wise?
people prefer nvidia, also 3090 has better rtx and dlss
theres also the software and other things that nvidia has such as rtx broadcast as well as nvenc
fair
And amd has a decent encoder
What really upsets me is the massive price hike from the 3080 to the 3080 ti
i meant out of the two* id go with 6900xt
a money grab
Basically all nvidias fault cuz they realised they could capitalise the market, if you look at fe prices 700->1200
What I wanna know is that if the price hike is worth it when it comes to the gaming desktops
what about 3080 ti vs 6900xt?
we always compare 3090 price, but 3080 ti is same tier
6900xt msrp is 1k
and a good bit cheaper
i mean with this market
6900xt asrock oc formula at 1600
vs 3080 ti market price
Asrock phantom at 1400 even better not oc potential but price wise
We will see
guys, so for some reason today, my brother's pc says that there is no GPU in the system
is there a gpu in the system?
yeah
That thing better cost like $20 or it’s not worth it
hype
all its gotta do is be cheaper/faster than the GTX 1650
and its a W card for people needing a card to go with their crappy prebuilt systems
nerd
i can power your graphics
and your cpu
Should I bother trying to find the broken component on my gpu and replacing it or should I just bring it to microcenter for its warranty and get its value in a gift card
Screw it, I don’t got the time these days to mess around with trying to fix it myself
Also if y’all were going to buy one of these GPUs which one would y’all buy? Make sure you have the store set to NY-Westbury, minimum I’m looking at is a 3070ti
https://www.microcenter.com/category/4294966937/graphics-cards
Microcenter.com has the best deals on the latest Nvidia Graphics Cards & AMD Graphics Cards and more available at your local Micro Center Computer Store!
6400 won't beat 1650 at all
If its 30% slower than 6500xt
That puts it between 1050 and 1050 ti, if that
I'll buy that if it's $50
Lol
ill wait for game benches
30% tells me nothing
theres no msrp yet
once it becomes purchasable, i will be doing my research
True
Only reason I'd buy it is if it's cheap, since it'll still be an upgrade to my partners 3400g with no dgpu
I still need them to check the psu
its 53W
If its around 450w I'll grab a 770 or smthn
thats what makes it great, PSU dont matter
I know
there are a few 1650 models without a PCIe power connector
But they do exist
so the 6400 basically competes with those
Still depends on the perf
If they make it a pcie powered version of the 6500xt, sure
there will be cards only powered by the slot for sure
But if it's actually 30% worse than the card that barely beats 1650 as is, it won't be much of a competition
thought the 6500xt was better than the 1650
Barely
True
But the majority of models are pcie powered
ye
Powercolor 6800xt maybe
That or the 6800 TUF
So
Bros
And broettes
I'm considering buying a GPU off of FB market place. Any tips?
which graphics card brand is better https://www.newegg.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6900-xt-rx6900xt-ocf-16g/p/N82E16814930057?item=N82E16814930057&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-_-video cards - amd%2Fati-_-asrock-_-14930057&source=region or https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-6900-xt-rx-6900-xt-gaming-trio-16g/p/N82E16814137699
Check profile and other listings, if it seems suspicious then don't buy
Don't get scammed
I guess if I find one I'll ask if it's worth it
Yes just make sure it's legit
Thats suspiciously low
get that 3080
Will nvidia 6000 series and intel 16000 release around the same time with the current pattern, I want a 6090 and 16900k lol
Get a laptop with a 6900xt and a 6900u
Sadly no 6900m
Theres no 6900 gpu for laptops tho

6800m max
Mobile 3090 when
Didn’t Nvidia announce another generation of some of the 30 series gpus
12GB 3080 to replace 10GB model, yes. Idk what else. Just a money grab knowing what people will pay..
Oh right, 12 GB 3060 perhaps
is the extra few hundred worth it for the tuf 3080 ti versus the FE?
few hundred, not really
Assuming you can get the fe version cheaper, no
Prob going to go fine..?
Yea thats fine
What about a 3080ti? Im just asking because im in Microcenter rn and im wondering if I should get a new PSU on top of the new GPU
I can get either GPU for up to 300 out of pocket. ~100 for the 3080, ~300 for the 3080ti
if its a tier fine
This is the 3080 I’m looking at
you have micro center voucher?
price outchie
Yeah I got a $1400 microcenter gift card from my broken GPU’s warranty
Westbury
NY
I’m kind of tempted to just get a 3070ti for like $800 and spend the rest on a nice monitor and headphones
i would get this https://www.microcenter.com/product/631470/powercolor-radeon-rx-6800-xt-triple-fan-16gb-gddr6-pcie-40-graphics-card
Should I get an rx 570 4gb for $200?
200 usd?
Yes
Thing is I would go for a 6800xt except I’m kind of wanting to give a 3080 a shot because they have a bunch in stock
but 6800xt usually outperforms
Idek what that was
RT gimmick, dlss cool
So I know how the performance will be
but you can get 6900xt for the 3080 price
Actually yeah I think I’ll just get a 6900xt
Have the Zotac cards improved whatsoever?
I have a $1400 gift card to use and they do have that 6900xt OC formula I’ve been eyeing in stock for like $1580
But then again I kind of want to gift this GPU to my dad once I go away to college to upgrade his workstation and Nvidia is the way to go for that
Damn so many decisions
Why am I so indecisive 
Let's dice choose for you
Well if you were going amd I'd get the 6800xt refrence then save the 300$ gift card
If I end up going AMD I’ll probably do that and get a new pair of headphones with the $300 gift card
Time to find myself a dice in a microcenter
Smort
You can't get a reference anywhere other than AMD Direct for AMD cards afaik.
Some Microcenters have had them recently
would the 12gb tuf 3080 be worth buying over the 10gb?
for 40 dollars more, sure
3080 is 3080
fr
get whatevers cheapest
no
tru
nah
Ehh I think I made a weird choice but I’m happy with it
I replaced my 6800xt, with the exact same model lmao
What? How?
I could’ve gone for a Strix 3080 for like $200 more but I went with another Aorus Master 6800XT because I liked the aesthetic
Anyone know why 70ti drivers are stuck at checking system compatibility
3060ti price check?
Funny story, my Vega 64 overheated and melted so I have been gpu-less for over a month now
with an EVGA diy kit, 3080 ti is 1450 with adding the power supply first
before tax
could prolly sell psu for 30 and mouse for 40
👀
You really had to tempt my wallet with that
Except the only diy kit gpus available rn at GT 1030s

morons
^
fair
1030s through EVGA DIY are not refurbished
Yes you can, the amd aibs make reference cards
@normal hawk
Is the only difference between the 3080 ti and the 3090 is that the 3090 has more memory so that it’s capable of 8k
3090 couldn't even do 8k well
also well technically there's cuda count difference too
Yeah they're the same GPU die but the 3080 Ti is a barely cut down version with less vram
80 Tis beat 3090s sometimes in some benchmarks for gaming, so for gaming they're close to interchangeable atm
3080ti would be highest for gaming that i would go
*gaming
yeah, sorry
Yeah but it's not noticeable amount
yep
Isn't the performance difference basically within the margin of error?
Yeah, so essentially indistinguishable
but 3090 is FHR hehe
woah that looks exactly like AMD's cooler 😮
Because it is
Yeah, AIBs had those reference designs at launch of a lot of the 6000 series cards and they've been showing up at MCs recently
MC has even gotten the reference liquid cooled 6900xt which seemed to be oem only originally
im well aware of gpu userbenchmark reliability on information, so... any site where i can versus some gpus and cpus?
👍
Damn the Nvidia data leak stuff sounds whack.
I asked this in a other chat butbi feel this is a better spot to ask: I am getting an RX 6600 brand new this Friday and was wondering with S.A.M. active with my 5600x cpu what performance should I expect? (Also idk if this is the right spot to ask tbh)
Sam doesn't really help much, and all we could say is it'll work well
Specific perf will depend on too many things
Alright thank you
whats the price
600 USD? CAD?
thats too much for a 3060
Ok
Are you in the US?
don't buy on aliexpress for 99$, thats a scam
What country are you in?
I dunno gpu prices there. I'd look for a cheaper 3060, Zotac is scalping their own cards so other brands would probably be cheaper. or look for a 6600XT
Try to find either below 500 USD if you can.
6600xt?
AMD's GPU around the same tier.
No amd plz
then look for a cheaper 3060 yeah
Asus?
3060 ti or a 3070 in your price range would also work.
I dunno prices in israel. you'll have to find one.
if you were willing to pay 700 USD for a 3060, look for a 3070 thats around 700-800$
Well, market is pretty bad rn
But why
Pandemic, Trade War, expensive and limited resources, Crypto and Scalpers, AIB's getting greedy and charging scalper prices, etc
How about the 2060 rtx?
unless its used, probably more expensive than it should be.
What?
How much is the one you're looking at?
100$ cheaper than 3060
WAY too expensive
3070 is still way better. Vram is a non issue for the most part.
For $900? Personally I wouldn’t
900$ for the 3070? Including taxes?
Yes
If including taxes then maybe depends on the AIB
Get outta the american mindset. GPU's have always been more expensive in other countries
Israel
Ohhhhh
Better than Hungarian prices
Then yeah for $900 definitely
so yeah I'd say 900$ including taxes is good.
I missed the message that said Israel
It still too much 
😦

for any country not in the EU or the US, I judge based off AUS and Hungarian prices ngl.
Is this for a new PC or are you upgrading an old PC?
New
Hungary is in the EU but they still have awful pricing compared to Germany, France, Etc
This machine is for vr gaming
Switzerland is real bad though, cause they got a huge VAT on tech.
Whats the most you can spend?
That’s the real question lol
2500
2500 for the whole PC? Do you have a part list I can look at?
Ask..
A 900$ GPU would fit in that budget in the US. so I'm curious as to why yours doesn't
Same here
1400?
You don't need a 12900k or 5950x for VR Gaming if thats why yours is up there 😛
What CPU and Motherboard are you getting?
I7
12700k?
Did you get DDR5 Ram? you should get DDR4 instead. DDR5 kinda sucks and DDR4 is cheap
Its not as fast as it should be. The performance gain is minimal and not worth the cost
DDR5 still isn’t at good as a high speed DDR4 set
Here is my 2.5k build. Maybe someone can play around with it to get something good for his vr build?
That would work for his VR Build. But the pricing might be off for the country is the thing
Jesus, I’m looking at Newegg Israel and these prices are insane, cheapest 3060ti is 1300 usd
I meant for budget in his country.
I know the 6900xt and i7 are overkill for vr
Found one for 960 usd but that’s still a lot
I can get it for 700
3060ti or regular 3060?
Regular
Ti is the dual?
Yes
This bundle doesn’t seem that bad https://www.newegg.com/global/il-en/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4479622
What do you think of it @normal hawk
Takes me to a page that says bundle is no longer available?
its an israeli exclusive combo
Make sure you’re on Newegg Israel
so you gotta change to israel to view it
The actual website this discord is for
Not too bad @hot folio But that price doesn't include VAT which who knows how much that will be 0.0
Ahh the 700 includes VAT?
Cause he's lookin local yeah I think
I’d buy it in person then, it’ll save you some money
Buy what
the GPU
Asus or zotac?
How much was the Asus one
100$ more
I’d go for Asus then
Sure?
Zotac in my past experiences had some problems with power delivery and cooling
Not sure how it is with 30 series but I’m not a huge fan of them
my 3080 is fine
https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-rtx-3050-ph-rtx3050-8g/p/N82E16814126558 WTF Asus why increase the price of the 3050 e.e This one was 249$ when it released
Forgot to mention, but I ended up buying another gpu today lol
Wtf is this 3050???
yet I don’t have a build to install it into
Which one
Microcenter had a strix 3080 in stock
The 3050 is okay. It would be Barely enough for VR imo depending on what game you're playing.
I'd just settle for the 3060 at this point despite being 700$
ew strix
No problem
https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4468892
White 3080 10GB Strix 😮
I blame the miners
I'll give em 10$ take it or leave it
Haha ok..
I blame covid
Except when it's just basically an outdated 3060Ti being sold for 1.75x the MSRP of it
What Ti stands for?
Titanium
true
I'm looking at getting a Sapphire Nitro+ 6900XT because my 1060 is kinda kicking the bucket soon. the Sapphire card is listed for $1,500 on NewEgg right now but prices are expected to drop sometime soon. Should I wait for the price drop or buy it now?
haha, it stands for Ti. Idk anyone who actually would say 1080/2080 Titanium.....
The graphics card on new egg are sold by third party seller. Even if i have money to buy them. I still can't. Cuz those third party sellers are just scammers
Nah newegg have their own graphics cards there
You can filter by "sold by Newegg" to filter out third party sellers
yup, I'm an old newegg customer and always bought only "sold by newegg" items... never from a third party
Sorry!!
Ok
I have come with more questions!
So on card I understand the pcie4.0x8/16, but on the 6600 it has pcie4.0x8 and was wondering could I lose performance with that or should it be fine?
Because of the weird setup, you may lose performance when using 3.0 x16 slot that would be limited to 3.0 x8 because of the card
But if i have a 4.0 slot I'm my Mobo I should be good?
Ye
Awesome thank you just got confused for a minute and saw it as a bad thing
But not no more so again thank you and this shall help me
You're welcome
3060tis have finally hit under $700 in my area on the local market
Things are improving!
3 for sale at $680-700 rn within last 24 hours.
If only my budget could reach that far 
So is a 3070ti at $850 good??
Like it’s cheaper than pretty much anywhere else
But if I buy I’m gonna lose money
For a new gpu 400-500 and I've decided to get a RX6600
It's in my range at my local microcenter
are you building a full new pc?
I mean, looks like EVGA will let you get one, along with other things, for 830
DIY kits
requires you to add a psu and one other thing
id just get the 850 70 ti instead, because better psus are cheaper than the reasonable options in there
as well as the cheapest third item being last i checked a 50$ mouse (the cheapest in stock as of yesterday anyways)
No just upgrading my pc
I apologize for the late response had to drive somewhere but I am available
ah
I currently have a 1050ti and upgrading to the rx6600
For what I want it'll run what I want I'm not gonna complain tbh
That's a fairly good 1080p choice tbh.
Yeah exactly and with my 5600x cpu I'm quite excited tbh
Indeed that's a solid setup.
Absolutely I love my 5600x it do me good
what's a decent price for an evga FTW3?
evga ftw3 what
650 hard max
FE 3070 can often enough be gotten for $700, just so ya knows 
"often enough" ???
They're still very difficult to get
The BB paywall doesn't help either
Eh, I've seen/heard many cases of people getting msrp cards at bestbuy or otherwise. The $200/yr thing is not quite an issue. Go in person & snag a order that was canceled or even just a normal "drop".
I have heard of people snagging orders that were cancelled/not picked up, BUT I have heard many more stories of people trying to snag a card that showed up as in stock and being told it's not there after they waste the time going out to the store
Yea no doubt, oh well. Obviously gpu market (demand) is highly voltaile. Aib msrp is nearly a thing of the past. There are soon certain gpus that won't even have an actual MSRP 
Well 3080 12gb released without an MSRP iirc
usd right?
yes
Yea 12gb is the new(er), so possible.
perfect I'll probably grab it then
I'm fairly sure Nvidia never released a figure, but I could be wrong
The lowest price I've seen for em is like 1249, which is hilarious considering I bought a Ti for less than that
It was pretty much just a vram boost but not 3080ti perf afaik
Well it does have less cores, could call it a half 3080Ti, or 3080T/3080i for short
I mean the performance differences between the 80, 80-12, 80 Ti, and 90 are all small
one thing i’ve noticed is at micro center
there’s always gpus
like on the website it says there are none, but when i went in store i they had 3050,3060,3060ti,3070ti, 3080ti
only ones they didn’t have were 3090s,3080 base and 3070 base
Yeah that's because MC doesn't do online GPU sales and they check ID so you can only get one a month
They also don't always have 30 series in stock at all locations
The one nearest to me has tended to have more stock recently though
Some of the more overpriced SKUs have stayed somewhat in stock for a while though. Like Strix 80Tis for example or Zotac anything
that moment when i bought an evga 3060 ti ftw3 to replace my old 750ti :3
550 was a hard bargain
Zotac has their own issues, they're self-scalping their cards. Look at their website, it's like $1200 for a 3070.
I know, they sell for the same prices at MC and elsewhere, which is why they don't move as quickly as say an EVGA anything
Yay greed
$2500+ for my model 3090
Zotac trinity oc is mine
$1600 at best buy
Around July to august last year
I ran it with a 9400F and 24gb of ram
Oh fun
my bad
is this the light at the end of the tunnel 
My crystal ball says there will be one more spike in demand as prices begin to fall, driving them up temporarily, then they'll dip harder.
Unless demand changes.
I think my crystal ball might need a tune-up, guess we'll see
Nope, that light is another train that's oncoming
Just when we're all happy that prices are dropping Nvidia going to be like
introducing 4000 series GPUs
Then all the progress comes undone
Imagine "overpaying" for a 12GB 3080 as well (notice base clock dropped down). Unless currently owning a decent gpu or getting a "good deal", quite a sketchy time to buy. Although "mid range" 40 series probably being 7+ months away is quite a while for most people to wait.
Introducing the 4090ti, 4 dies that are all individually faster than a 3090ti die with 32gb over heavily binned gddr6x at 580 watt power draw
Retailing for $3500
HIlarious, needing a 2nd psu just for gpu. Feels like y2k
Considering 3060 launched late February it might be another year before the 4060
Core clock isn't everything tbf.
I feel like if prices dip too far
What matters in the end is performance, not how you get there
We're going to see a super or 4000 series to push them back up
It's a lot w/ that tiny cuda* increase, but yes I realized boost is basically the same it seems (so perhaps disregard that part)
I never pay attention to the "boost"
Cards go way past their rated boost these days anyway
The cards naturally push above everything and manufacturers overclock the snot out of them too too
As I said performance is what matters at the end of the day
@ivory herald
lolol
I wouldn't be shocked to see that change.
Could be an external power brick like what the Xbox one and Xbox 360 had.
But bigger.
so most standard house wiring is like 15-20A iirc
and your breaker is like 20A
so thats 2400w on a single breaker
max
here in the us
but more like 2200 bc its closer to 110v not 120v
🤔 how have i not tripped one lol
minus losses due to inefficiency
lets say 80+ gold
1980w
if you had a 2200w psu
thats the limit
for any piece of consumer hardware for the forseeable future
so basically you cant really have a gpu with an external power brick if its gonna require you to run a cable to some other outlet on the other side of the house
because no one is gonna do that
and the super overkill gpus are gonna be tripping breakers lol
oh max wattage is 80% or something
so a 1920w psu is the limit
so an 1920w psu is like, max, resulting in 1800w
Which would be better? I know one is a tad more expensive, but I almost feel like the sapphire would be a better buy?
https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-6900-xt-11308-03-20g/p/N82E16814202403
Yeah, i just don't know if it'll still be there buy the time I get to press the buy button.
oh, then stop looking at components until your ready to hit the buy button
I just noticed the reviews for the sapphire seem to be better than the as rock
Fax
go find real product reviews lol
I want to do my research on parts before I hit the buy button. Trying to get best bang.
well at 1350, the sapphire is better
Ok. Say they were both the same price?
Lol ok. Def sapphire then.
Nah not oc the heck out of it, but inwould like to oc
Sapphire nitro is better Than the Phantom gaming btw
Ok thats what I was asking.
Thank you.
is it though?
Phantom gaming was nice because it was the cheapest. Only reason.
the only thing i would expect to be better would be either the cooler or the power delivery
There was a gigabyte one that dropped down to 1299 but it's not in stock anymore e.e
Cooling.
figures
Yeah I'm pretty much trying to figure out the best way to keep the system cool without spending a crap ton.
So a cooler gpu fits right in.
Honestly these days. A good case will keep it cool enough as long as it's a 3 fan. Priority will always be CPU. Cause those just keep getting way hotter imo.
With all yalls help i think we've got it figured out, however now I can't decide on the 4000d or the p400a
It seems to me that the p400a has clearance issues with longer gpu and bigger aio 360 liquid
But def looks more pleasing than the 4000d
I like my 4000D airflow. But it was a tight squeeze for the Arctic freezer 360mm AIO.
Nah, performance is going to be GPU limited at 1440p or 4k so keeping the GPU cool is much more of a priority
Priority, yes. But I've never had an issue with cooling any GPU other than the Phoenix fan 2060.
But that's just cause it's crap
GDDR6X runs really hot, I've had it throttle in a game before (gigabyte 3080 oc)
Yeah I looked at a build video that someone was able to fit in there so I know it can be done. I just can't find anything in the p400a
You can get a higher frequency out of your GPU core if it is running cooler as well
Which gigabyte GPU do you have?
It's now my brother's, gaming oc
Hm. I may plan in getting a gpu cooler in the future.
Does the p400a support a 360mm AIO? I thought it didn't. And that was the reason to go 4000d airflow. Or was it that you can have a 360mm and a 280mm in it 🤔 not sure.
I would prioritize GPU thermals when choosing a case and just make sure you have a decent cooler if you're running anything r5/i5
Up front it does
It looks like it is able to fit 3 120mm fans in front so I assume it can?
The p400a can do a 120mm in the rear and up to a 360 up front
Sadly no rad support on the roof
I'll be running i7 alder lake with the Arctic freezer ii 360
Ye it doesn't support top mounted that was it.
Oh ok. I'll stick with the 4kd then
I'll also be getting both a 4k and 1440p monitor.
Probably game on the 1440 and use 4k for everything else.
4000D is a real tight fit for the Arctic freezer II 360
I'd run the AIO fans as intake then to maximize case airflow and help your GPU out
Idk, I saw a build video that was able to put it in there with relative ease.
Yeah def will be doing that.
I guess if you're building a new system yeah.
Will have 2 fans up top for exhaust and 1 in back for exhaust.
I was upgrading so everything was already in the case.
Or maybe just 1 up top
Idk. I know i gotta keep air pressure in mind with fan setups
I was too lazy to put the top fans back in. So i have the 3 intake and then the rear exhaust.
I like to go positive pressure so I have a 240mm rad up front (EVGA hybrid card), 2 140mm up top (the one in front of the CPU cooler is intake, other is exhaust) and then a 120mm rear exhaust
Oh ok so I could potentially do a push/pull configuration for the top then
I have an air cooler on my cput which is why I went with one exhaust one intake
I didn't want to be pulling air out from in front of the CPU cooler
Oh ok
What air cooler
NH-D15, but overkill tbh
Cant decide if I want white or black for the case
What CPU is that on that makes it overkill?
5600x
Eh that's not overkill.
A tad overpriced , but doesn't hurt to have a badass hsf that rivals a handful of aios
Not on a 5600x
Should be seeing great boosting with good cooler
Nah it is a bit tbf
It's a bit overkill because I could maintain the same clocks with a somewhat less beefy air cooler at a slightly lower cost
I still like having it, but I also like to be realistic
To be honest you'd probs get pretty similar temps/clocks with a fs140
Well as long as the d15 is compatible with future sockets I'd expect Noctua to release new brackets and they've even offered them for free before
Ye they will
The middle rgb isn't working anyone know how to fix it?
I'd check for a loose cable
might need to download gigabyte app center, should be able to uninstall after, sometimes that fixes an rgb bug with fusion
i have aorus app center
Yea Noctua seems 1 of the better companies in that regard. (With proof of cpu/mobo) a simple call/email can have them send the new correct adapter. 👍
does anyone know the msrp of the asus tuf 3080 12gb? i cant seem to find it
stupid is the msrp
3080 12gb is dumb
its half way to 3080 ti but the same price basically
so would you recommend i just get the ti
Recommendation is more get 3080 or just cheapest of the bunch
i see
ref AMD cards are amazing for price
but you can get 1400$ aib cards in stock at wegg
The cheapest one at the launch was 1249. It'll be a while before it's below that if it ever is.
6900xt or sub 1550$ 3080 ti (if you need DLSS, CUDA, or something tbh. )
i see
Didn't realize just how big a 3080 Ti is until I got one and then put EKWB blocks on it. I done goofed on the case. lol
Yeah they're chonky lol
Are the Xbox Series X graphics faster than the 3080?
No
the only thing that Xbox series X graphics is fast about it is the regret of getting one
Xbox series x is good
Just not 3080 level
And cheap because it's subsided by Microsoft
Granted games cost more but game pass is pretty cheap
good but not worth that price, spend 50$ more and get a 6900xt https://www.newegg.com/powercolor-radeon-rx-6900-xt-axrx-6900xtu-16gbd6-3dhe-oc/p/N82E16814131785R or just get this instead and save ~100 https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3080-rtx-3080-gaming-z-trio-10g-lhr/p/N82E16814137677
oh thank you! I was actually just looking to see what the red devil 6900xt was at pricing wise when you sent this. Is the 6900xt worth the 100 more than the 3080? Also, open box is trust worthy? 🙃
that is what I thought. 100$ seems like it would be worth it then to me I would think.
I think we would all say we'd like to spend msrp also but that's certainly not happening 🤣
Hhmm
no response, opened another ticket yesterday as it had been 2 weeks
no
i think someone thing happened about the prices on there and ppl didnt really like it
i could be wrong
Is 750w good enough for a 3600x and 6900xt
It is not
it actually is
3600x doesn't consume much power so
It's "good enough" but it's not necessarily leaving much room on the table
including all my storage and my AIO it's leaving about 70w free
Generally speaking is it worth it to to get an rx 570 for around $200?
not really a huge upgrade imo, id hold out
Huh.
Right
I'm right to worry that someones putting a 3080 ti in a NZXT 710i case right? Cause of the poor airflow?
its an FE 3080 ti too.
oh no
Yeah I thought so
I looked at a video and they put a 3070 ti in it and were getting 67-76 under load so I was like, oh no, whats it gonna do to that poor 3080 ti 😢
im more worried about the vram temps
isnt samsung about to release a gddr6 thats faster than microns gddr6x
They need to start calling it what it is.
GQDR2
It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue but it's not really DDR any more so...
Get a 6600 for $400
GDDR6+
Get me one
Could be a scam D:<
nah tulip just has lucky af area, they bought their 3070 scalped for 900 like 4 months ago iirc
It's true tho
Yeah I got a really good area
Best buys do in person drops still over here and am 20 minutes from microcenter
Makes selling things annoying
I had to sell my 2060 for $325 a few weeks ago, no one would buy for over that
Guys, what gpu in the 30 series is able to run most VR games on highest settings? Is the 3080 enough?
Why only Nvidia?
I feel more comfortable with Nvidia and have gsync monitors as well
Do you have any suggestions Pato?
most freesync monitors work with gsync btw
Gsync and freesync are interchangeable
and also amd really isnt bad unless u want dlss these days
Every "gsync compatible" monitor is actually a mid or high tier freesync rating
It's extremely rare to find monitors with the physical hardware required for true gsync certification, and none of those will pass standby power regulations that were recently enforced in a dozen or so states and the EU
A 3060 ti/6700xt or higher should do
Well, my 2060 won't even sell for that much. Cause phoenix fan bad.
Hey does anyone know what manufacturer made the rtx 3060 card for Alienware aurora r10?
dell
yes
its an OEM card
well
they made the fan shroud
nvidia made the actual card
Yeah most of the time they use the reference design nvidia provides and slap their own cooler on
Visiontek, PNY and Dell make the GPU's dell uses.
I sold a crappy ventus model that overheats
Even with kyronaut repaste in high airflow build
Oof
yeah
it's a really thin aluminum heat sink with 2 copper heat pipes
for an 180 watt 2060
Ye the Phoenix fan is thin and only 2 heatpipes as well
What’s a good price for a gtx 1080 ti and should I get it over a gtx 980 ti
Yes
Okay, so to the few peoples' that I was talking to about a month ago about gpus, I finally caved and bought a 3070ti bundle lol
One thing though, since I have a AMD gpu in my system, what should I do to clean off the drivers for good?
Bout 350-400
ebay are selling gtx1080 for 500to600
DDU then when installing Nvidia drivers hit the custom button then the clean checkbox
More in-depth guide in the pins if needed
Question, updating the driver in my Asus laptop, after reaching half way during the last installation the screen goes black. Would DDU help and or fix the problem?
No harm
You wouldn't happen to have a specific site to use would you?
Here is a guide with all the links you need
https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Graphics-cards/wiki/How-to-use-DDU
Sweet thank you sm
Np
That helps. Though I just needed to be sure since I remember trying to download DDU one time, but Windows didn't like it and called it a virus lmao
Nah it's fine lol i use it all the time, i wrote the guide sure
Fair nuff. I'll just have to trust it and move past the mental anxiety lmao
Also I'm probably gonna get crap for picking a 3070ti too, but it was the cheapest bundle available XD
Even was a fancy 3-fan EVGA gpu too lol
That's fine lol?
Well I'm not sure if you remember, but one of the guys from a month ago when I was asking about gpus didn't like the 3070ti at all
Saying it was a bad value, even in a bundle and all that
So I'm just kinda meming on it is all, especially since it was the best available value ironically enough
Ah well yeah it's bad value msrp wise but sometimes cheaper than 3070 these days so
Hi
Would it be better to just bite the bullet and get a 1080 ti or go for a 980 ti which I can find for way cheaper
How much for the 980 ti?
no selling see rules
Sorry
As low as $120-$150
all nvidia cards are bad value these days, the important thing is that you are the proud owner of a 30 series card, gratz man 😄
maybe someday the cards will return to msrp 🙂
That exist?
I can agree, as someone with four Ampere cards
Remember that's bids and will likely go up in the next 6 days
AMD OP
Yeah that's a good deal
Bids I generally just sort by ending soonest and find whatever is decent.
Yea
Looking at 5d+ bids is kinda meh
For the most part the 980 ti is a pretty good price on eBay
There are some guys on there pricing then way higher that the rest like in the $300-$400 range but most are pretty ok
People keep saying prices are falling and that's just cause there's enough stock where it's no longer profitable to scalp right?
Cause Asus as an example raised their prices on a few GPU's lmao. So it's more of scalper and AIB prices equalized.
Nvidia GPUs of course. AMD's are falling for the most part^
more just okayish like shuffle ish prices are becoming in stock normally and staying that way like the 3080 gaming x trio that was 1180, theres also a 1k 6800 atm
Thought so
Regular 6800 or xt
as well as 880 3070 ti's
regular
Cause for the most part everything is still above msrp
and 740 3060 tis
Bruh I reinstalled windows on my laptop and I'm still using up to 45% cpu with a single chrome tab open
There's a 699 3060 ti on Newegg right now. 740 isn't a good price. 😂
This all depends on how you define MSRP. Each AIB sets an MSRP for each of their SKUs
Are you sure that’s a laptop
Also what's a 780 ti worth rn
that was just from a quick pcpp look up but eh 40$ difference
10500h
I think there’s just a hamster on a wheel powering your laptop
Fair
A bottlecap
Oh nvm
Atleast $2
That’s still kinda concerning lol
A singular chrome tab
I still need to upgrade the ram in here
Yea
Single channel 8gb
cpu utilization means nothing tbh
I just bought new earbuds tho so that's gonna have to wait lol
I’m using 34% of a pentium silver with Adobe illustrator and 6 Firefox tabs open
Eh, I didn't buy the laptop for cpu perf I'll probably end up needing to sell this in a few years anyways, to get a laptop with a good battery life for college
I’m probably gonna get like a 2015 MacBook Pro at some point
few years later?
by then laptops will be pretty efficient and powerful so heh
would be nice
Well it’s either 2015 or get a pretty new one without the butterfly keyboard
Get an iPad with the magic keyboard and mouse @jaunty mango
yeah i understand
Was waiting since late November I think
I would but I need windows
My school required that you use some software that’s windows only
Then why get a MacBook?
Cause it can do both windows and macos
Do you need MacOS?
Not really I just want it
Lol
Smh
running mac on windows kills its batt life
I I’m on a strict budget
3080 ti for $90
cause it couldn't idle
