[lone pond]

Sell it to a miner

[keen nacelle]

Yep

It's fhr

[lone pond]

Yep

It’s worth at least 800$

[keen nacelle]

Prices have dropped a lot though

[lone pond]

Bc fhr

[keen nacelle]

I'll probably try for around $700

[lone pond]

Yeah

[lone pond]

That’s a fair price for fhr

[keen nacelle]

Ye

[lone pond]

Me at school rn

[keen nacelle]

Same

I pulled my laptop out middle of class

[lone pond]

Me have maths in 4 hours

[keen nacelle]

Teacher yelled at me

Worth it

[lone pond]

Nice

[keen nacelle]

Wha?

[lone pond]

Auto correct

B is right next to n so I accidentally pressed it and it auto corrected to Biden

[keen nacelle]

Ahh

[lone pond]

Very worth it

should i get a wireless network adapter

Sadly my chromebook is a school issued one

[keen nacelle]

I didn't even get it on my laptop

Got 6min on my phone

Over an hour on laptop

[lone pond]

Noice

Yea after i camped out bestbuy in 13 degrees to get a 3070

I’m done for a while

[lone pond]

respect

I was 6th in line at 8 am

Then by 10 am when the store opend it was over 50 people

So many people drove by asking why we were lined up bestbuy way before opening

Half of the people were there for elden ring

[lone pond]

Yes big respect

[lone pond]

lol

$99.99 for 750w when i can find a 850w with good reviews for $83

[keen nacelle]

Don't please...

Wattage isn't all that matters

Bitfenix whisper m 850 is an A tier psu that costs $110

[lone pond]

@keen nacelle is your mom gonna kill you

[keen nacelle]

Not yet

[lone pond]

Not yet

But it’s possible

[keen nacelle]

Very

[heady turtle]

Pssst... Deepcool ak620

[lone pond]

i meant the prices a switched

[keen nacelle]

I constantly forget what heatsink you use

Thought I had found it

Gtg

[lone pond]

should i get a wireless network adapter

btw i changed the cooler to a nzxt kraken x53

[lone pond]

do you not have Ethernet

[heady turtle]

@lone pond this is what I'd do
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rwDMcb

[heady turtle]

Nah used to be frost spirit 140/peerless assassin 120 for 40-50$ which are still good for that but, ak620 slimly beats the nhd15

[lone pond]

6700xt on amds website in stock

At msrp

[heady turtle]

Don't

[heady turtle]

In stock in stock? Like not a drop? Sheesh

[lone pond]

Yea

[heady turtle]

Bet that's not lasting long

[vital oriole]

whoa

6900xt too?

[lone pond]

Yea

[lone pond]

why

[heady turtle]

Overpriced and agreessively mediocre

[lone pond]

ok[

but why a scythe mungen

[heady turtle]

Not suggesting scythe Mugen

I'm suggesting deepcool AK620

[lone pond]

give me a reason

[heady turtle]

Because it's slightly better than a noctua D15

And way cheaper

[lone pond]

im not talking about the noctua

[heady turtle]

I'm not either

The d15 used to be the best air cooler until very recently

[lone pond]

oh

[heady turtle]

The ak620 takes that crown and is cheaper

[lone pond]

should i get dual ak620

[heady turtle]

You can't

[lone pond]

L

[heady turtle]

You cant use 2 coolers at the same time lmao

[lone pond]

vs.

About equal

Although intel is ahead at the moment

yesssssss

[heady turtle]

[normal hawk]

Nah Pato, the FX 6300 > Anything from Intel. ;p AMD is the King /s

[heady turtle]

because unlocked out of the box xD

[keen nacelle]

6300 is what I use for workstation tasks

See, it's a bigger number than my 3600

So it's better

[livid idol]

8300 gang

[shy wave]

what does the se stand for in the sappthire nitro+ 6900xt se?

[hasty sphinx]

Special Edition

Thats the one I want. ❤️

[shy wave]

thanks 🙂

im looking at it

$1300 usd rn

[heady turtle]

Check amd.com, there might still be 6900xt refrence cards for 1k

[shy wave]

what is a reference card?

[keen nacelle]

basically the founders edition of amd

and there arent any left

[coral yew]

so i just got my GPU back from RMA and my main issue is fixed which was the entire PC crashing when running certain games but the fans still ramp up and wont stop even after closing out of the game and giving it time to cool itself... any idea why and how i could maybe fix that?

[shy wave]

oh

[shy wave]

ty

[keen nacelle]

that would require replacing the thermal pads/paste, setting a different fan curve if the temps arent too high, or improving case airflow

[coral yew]

pretty sure its none of that the fan curve is default and the case is open atm and they probably did that when i sent it in for warranty claim

[keen nacelle]

what was the rma claim

if it did not have to do with temps, they did not replace them

and it could still be the pads and paste

they dont do a great job a lot of the time

[coral yew]

i said that when running certain games the entire PC crashes thats basically all i said

and i gave a list of solutions i tried on the software and hardware side

[keen nacelle]

if the issue had nothing to do with temps then they did not replace them

[coral yew]

alright

[keen nacelle]

you could reduce the fan curve

as in setting a less aggressive one

but temps will increase

[coral yew]

yeah

[keen nacelle]

what case do you have?

please dont say any variation of the h510

[coral yew]

MSI something i forgot its been a few months

[keen nacelle]

itll hurt me on a physical level

[keen nacelle]

do you think you could grab a link?

[coral yew]

yeah

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811320035?Description=MSI case&cm_re=MSI_case-_-11-320-035-_-Product

[keen nacelle]

you spent 160 on that...?

[coral yew]

no it was cheaper

[keen nacelle]

thats good atleast

[coral yew]

got it for $80

[keen nacelle]

its not the worst case ive seen but theres definitely better

[coral yew]

yeah

[keen nacelle]

could probably help it a little bit by adding a fan to the top

would reduce temps and therefore lower the fan speed

[coral yew]

i have a rad in the front and 2 fans in the top

[keen nacelle]

ah

what are the gpu temps

[coral yew]

well im just on here atm so 27.5C

[keen nacelle]

i mean while gaming

[coral yew]

oh I'll see

well i figured out the issue i think actually

the GPU doesnt realize the fans are even spinning

it says 0 RPM

temp was 54C

on ultra for Cyberpunk

[keen nacelle]

have you updated drivers anytime recently?

[coral yew]

no just got the GPU back

HWMonitor shows 0 RPM though as well

im updating it now

not sure what version im on but latest one was from two days ago

still says 0 RPM

[keen nacelle]

Are you idle atm?

Or are you playing a game

[coral yew]

Idle

Fans are spinning though

And at max

[keen nacelle]

Case fans or gpu fans

[coral yew]

Gpu

[keen nacelle]

That is

Extremely odd

Ima need @heady turtle for this

[coral yew]

Oh nvm im dumb

[keen nacelle]

Oh?

[coral yew]

The fans actually arent spinning at all

Its the pump fans

[keen nacelle]

Ah

That makes more sense

[coral yew]

Yeah

But idk why theyd be on max

[lone pond]

should i go for the nvidia 3060 ti founders edition

[coral yew]

So yeah CPU and pump are at 4.6k RPM

[heady turtle]

What's the problem?

[heady turtle]

If you can from retail sure

[coral yew]

Originally i thought my GPU fans were not being detected and were spinning at max speed but turns out its actually my CPU fan and pump fan header that are going at max speed

[lone pond]

nah cant find any in stock within 300 milles

[coral yew]

Happens after running game and it continues to do it afterwards as well

Oof

[heady turtle]

Pump should always be 100%

[coral yew]

Alright

[heady turtle]

Fans you can change for temp curve in bios

[coral yew]

I just redownloaded msi center since i have a msi board and you can change it in there

[lone pond]

should i get a 2080 instead of a 3060 ti since it beats it out

[keen nacelle]

2080 does not beat 3060 ti

3060 ti is about equal to a 2080 super

[lone pond]

oh

damn

on nvidias site I just found a 3060 ti for $400

oh its out of stock

[heady turtle]

Yes lol

Literally the best value card for 2 years

Well 1.5

[lone pond]

lol

[heady turtle]

Also founders edition are not LHR soooo

[lone pond]

thats also out of stock

[heady turtle]

They're literally the best combo of mining efficiency, cost to buy(at msrp) and gaming

[heady turtle]

Yes we've been in a shortage since 30 series launched

They only drop on best buy if you're on the US

[lone pond]

bro im gonna have my money ready and gonna have to wait 5 months

can i be mod assist

[heady turtle]

You can buy 3060 tis right now just for like 600$ ish

Maybe some day

[lone pond]

where

[lone pond]

thks

[heady turtle]

Np

[coral yew]

Okay so my middle GPU fan is stuck

Like stuck on

The other 2 are off

[heady turtle]

make sure they are linked in afterburner

[coral yew]

I dont even have afterburner

I downloaded it and hit that and it did nothing

Wait @heady turtle could intel UHD graphics potentially cause issues?

[heady turtle]

shouldnt

[coral yew]

Alright

[modest pine]

I’m trying to return my Newegg gpu unopended but they won’t give me my full money back they said they can’t give me the 10 dollars back for shipping

[livid idol]

Contact @cursive urchin

[modest pine]

Ok like Newegg service on discord in the dms

[livid idol]

Yes, DM them. They might be able to help.

[pale ore]

I ate graphics card what will happen

[keen nacelle]

you become a computer

[livid idol]

Start running complex quadratic equations and see if you're better at computation

[cosmic bluff]

Mine crypto

[runic crypt]

become a gumputer

[kind hedge]

bitcoin is mined in pc hardware

[remote patrol]

MSI Ventus GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

is it worth $359

[final smelt]

no

[frigid anvil]

No

[marble ingot]

is 650 for a Gigabyte 3070 gaming oc v2 a good price?

[keen nacelle]

Not really

Graphics cards mine eth, ergo, or raven for the most part

Bitcoin is pretty much exclusively mined with asics

[marble ingot]

what is asics?@keen nacelle

[heady turtle]

Ye

[marble ingot]

oh he has an EVGA 3070 XC3 which one would be better same price

[heady turtle]

Application Specific Integrated Circuits

[keen nacelle]

Theyre like little boxes that are made specifically to mine

[heady turtle]

Pretty similar, evga xc3 though because slightly higher power potential

[tall lichen]

Would it be worth it to get an rx 480? They cost less than $200

[vital oriole]

nope

[tall lichen]

oh

i want something better than my r7 370

[keen nacelle]

Whats your budget

[tall lichen]

Up to around $350

[heady turtle]

For 350 you can probably squeeze a 3050/6600

If you can spend 30$ more
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/G9ytt6/gigabyte-radeon-rx-6600-8-gb-eagle-video-card-gv-r66eagle-8gd

Or if you're a bit patient could probably find a 350 one

[keen nacelle]

Have you already bought the other parts?

If not, what's the budget for the whole build?

[tall lichen]

I have everything else I just want to replace the gpu

[keen nacelle]

Alr

6600/3050 prolly your best then as pato said

[unkempt tulip]

What is a good gpu option that is $250 or under for 1080p gaming like fortnite, valorant maybe apex. Im getting a 12100f btw. If the better thing to do is wait a few months and then buy a really good gpu for maybe cheaper i dont mine doing that as well

[lone pond]

3050 if you can get it for the price

[heady turtle]

honesty the 6500xt...

[unkempt tulip]

Idk if the 6500xt is good or bad bc like so many ppl tell me to get it and so many ppl tell me dont get it

[lone pond]

6500xt is just not worth it for more than $250

It’s not plain bad it’s just bad for the price.

Sure, it performs not as well as people would like it to but if it’s priced low enough i’d go for it

[unkempt tulip]

Yeah if the price of it drops to msrp ill defintely get it

[unkempt tulip]

What about $200?

[lone pond]

For $200 that’s the max i would spend on it

any more and you should try for 3050 instead

[unkempt tulip]

Ok

[keen nacelle]

id try to find a 1650 super used before a 6500xt imo

or a 1060 6gb

cant hurt to check near you

[unkempt tulip]

Isnt the 6500xt better than the 1650 super

[keen nacelle]

no

[unkempt tulip]

Do I trust you or Pato

[keen nacelle]

@heady turtle

you can ask him whats better too lol

[unkempt tulip]

https://imgur.com/a/WZBresN

Pato said the 6500xt with Pcie gen 4 will be little after the 5500xt

[normal hawk]

is that all that fits in your budget?

[heady turtle]

A tinnyyyt bit

[unkempt tulip]

@keen nacelle

[normal hawk]

Wait you got a 6800 XT? Which one? 😮

[keen nacelle]

Reference

From amd direct, $690 after tax

[normal hawk]

Oh nice price

[keen nacelle]

Ye

[normal hawk]

did you sell your 3060 ti?

[keen nacelle]

Not yet but im going to

[normal hawk]

oh free upgrade then

cause FHR

[keen nacelle]

I think 700 is a fair price considering it's fhr

[normal hawk]

scalp some miners

;D

[keen nacelle]

Priced are way down

So I might even have trouble selling it at 700 on hws

[normal hawk]

Not as much for FHR. just gotta be open to ship at that point

[keen nacelle]

Yeah

I'll be able to ship it once I get my card

Cause I'll have the box then

Top you know anything about monitors?

[normal hawk]

[keen nacelle]

Nah not for me

[normal hawk]

I actually don't have that monitor

[keen nacelle]

My dad does mortgages and some people he works with need monitors, I found this (he needs it before Monday, they get here tmrw) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0773ZY26F/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

They fine for work?

Also

Im going to be running the 6800xt with a 3600, at 1080p

[normal hawk]

75hz monitors are pointless. but my brother has that one and its fine for his server windows.

[keen nacelle]

Kekw

[keen nacelle]

I was looking for 60hz and it popped up

[normal hawk]

ye

if its cheaper go for it.

[keen nacelle]

Cheapest I saw on Amazon that gets here soon enough

Otherwise he was going to buy from the pc shop that screwed me on that psu and case

[normal hawk]

oof

No Microcenter, Best Buy, or Target in the area?

[keen nacelle]

Best buy yeah, I'll see if i can convince him to stop by

[normal hawk]

I don't even like best buy but they'd be better than that lol

Best Buy ruined it by having that Tech membership tsk tsk

[keen nacelle]

Any issue with LED monitors?

I know nothing about them, are they super bright?

[normal hawk]

Not to me

I dunno

[keen nacelle]

Since they're going to be staring at them up to 8 hours a day

[normal hawk]

Never really used that monitor. but you could set the windows night mode to ease strain on the eyes

[keen nacelle]

Figured

Thanks

He doesn't want to stop at bb

[normal hawk]

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Curvature-Adjustment-Optix-G24C4/dp/B0865GK92R

I guess its curved which could be weird to him

but only like 40$ more and would be much better even for office stuff

[keen nacelle]

Hes buying three

So it'd be 120 more

[normal hawk]

oh

[wicked hound]

Curved 16:9 seems like such a gimmick

[normal hawk]

Is AMD a lot better on linux over Nvidia a lot of have said that nvidia driver supports awful on linux will I lose out on a bit with an RTX 3050? And then also for CPU's does it matter?

[keen nacelle]

huh

1030 4gb

gddr4, not ddr4

[normal hawk]

Yeah

https://www.tpstech.in/products/colorful-geforce-gt-1030-4gb-gddr4-64-bit-graphics-card

Matches what's here @keen nacelle

[keen nacelle]

i did not think that existed

wow

[normal hawk]

Yeee

That's the a meh one. Cause there's also a gddr5 gt 1030

[keen nacelle]

yeah

i just didnt think there was a 4gb version, let alone a gddr4 version

i knwe there was a ddr4 and gddr5

[ivory herald]

Eh, gddr4 was probably cheaper to use(more profit). "Ddr" hasn't been on a gpu in a while. Gddr3 wasnt too unlike ddr2, but gddr4/5/6 has definitely advancements VS desktop stuff. It's pretty neat.

[keen nacelle]

yeah, i just didnt know there was a 1030 with gddr4

[ivory herald]

As if the other one didn't perform bad enough 🤣

[vital oriole]

gddr4 isn't what 1030 uses

it uses ddr4

gddr4 is based on ddr2

it's old ass stuff

gddr4 was barely used tho so it disappeared quickly

my gpu also uses ddr3, no g

cause gddr3 is obviously gonna be even older

[keen nacelle]

the image says gddr4 though, if its regular ddr4 wouldnt that be false branding? (also i know ddr4 1030s exist, but this one is labeled gddr4)

[vital oriole]

yeah it's false branding

1030 only uses either ddr4 or gddr5

[keen nacelle]

ahh

[vital oriole]

people tends to confuse ddr3 and 4 on gpus as gddr lol

or even some retails

[keen nacelle]

the actual sticker on it says gddr4 though

which is what confused me

[vital oriole]

yeah it's a misbranding

[keen nacelle]

when i read the listing i figured it was false so i checked the images

mm

very odd

[vital oriole]

also it's not gonna be a scam cause

gddr4 never got used on an nvidia gpu

at all

[keen nacelle]

ah

[vital oriole]

also is there any vga ports in there?

if there's none that's good

[keen nacelle]

didnt check

[vital oriole]

pascal has no analog output support

unless it's an oem card

oem cards are an exception

[hot folio]

I’m done with gigabyte GPUs for life

[keen nacelle]

what happened?

[hot folio]

This 6800xt was fun while it lasted

First I noticed that one of the power LEDs was burnt out and now it’s artifacting

[keen nacelle]

rip

can you rma it?

[hot folio]

It’s under Microcenter’s warranty so I’m going through that

Especially screw Gigabyte’s RMA service

[keen nacelle]

thats good atleast

[hot folio]

They just take the card and don’t fix it at all

Then send it back

Happened every single time I went through them

[keen nacelle]

jesus

glad i havent had to rma my card then

[hot folio]

I’ve gone through their RMA with so many GPUs it’s actually kinda funny

[shy wave]

with a r7 5800x should i wait until 4000 series or just buy now

[livid idol]

I'd just get what you can now

4000 won't be out for at least 6 months

Probably longer

[normal hawk]

Click on the link i sent

[normal hawk]

@vital oriole

[vital oriole]

huh

well that's some weird 1030 lol

[normal hawk]

[vital oriole]

with vga

[normal hawk]

Gt 1030 2gb gddr4 from best buy

Maybe they're labeling it wrong though tbf

[ivory herald]

ah, $115 for that.

[marble ingot]

should i get a rx 6600 open box from mc for 366 after tax i have like 450 budget i kinda wanted a 3060 but i never get one in time TT

[cursive otter]

Personally, i'm going to wait until the 40 series come out before I upgrade my 2060 to a 3070ti. -- but these guys know more than I do.

[heady turtle]

6600 open box for 366 sounds like too much imo

Evga has been dropping a lot of 430$ 3060s

[gray bloom]

is evga using us currency? or does it automatically use our own currency like if im in canada?

[heady turtle]

Uhh go check, find something in stock and send a screenshot of it here

[gray bloom]

im trying to buy for a friend

[heady turtle]

Usd

[green harness]

Keep in mind that's B-Stock so it comes with a shorter warranty that cannot be extended

They have had non-b stock 3060s in stock to purchase recently with two more years of warranty for only $10 more

They aren't in stock at this moment though

[keen nacelle]

theres 3 more evga drops next week btw

monday wednesday and either thursday or friday

possibly both

you gonna be able to buy then?

mm

ill try as well

the other day was the first time weve seen 3060 tis in a while though

so well have to see

im also hoping they have those $90 1650s

heres the expected dates from the drop server im in

[heady turtle]

How do you know and why is evga queue still closed for new ppl in eu when they just straight up dropping in NA

[keen nacelle]

drop server

want an invite? they have notifs for EU

[heady turtle]

How they know

Yes pls lol worth a try

Am already in one butt

[keen nacelle]

what happened?

[modest pine]

Guys what gpu should I get

Rx 5700xt power color triple fan rgb or asus 3060 dual oc or msi 3060 gaming x dual or Rx 6600xt Asus strix dual

[cursive otter]

3060 dual oc

but thats just my opinion, bro 😄

[magic wing]

6600xt strix

[fading glacier]

3.5 slot solution

damn thicc

[brisk flame]

thats because theyre rated for 600w

lol

[modest pine]

Should I get msi gaming x dual 3060 or amd Rx 6600xt Asus rog strix

[normal hawk]

3.5 slot ain't thick

Weak sauce.

Just wait, Aorus will be a 5 slot cooler

[green harness]

I mean it's thick, just not unusually thick

Gotta be 4+ to stand out imo

Meanwhile I have a two-ish slot GPU 😆

[normal hawk]

The RTX Asus Phoenix fan 3050 is 2.5 slots.

Because the 2060 was just under 2 slots and suffered for it. So I'm glad they learned from it.

[violet prawn]

LMFAO MHM

[normal hawk]

3080 and up for Aorus Master and Aorus Extreme is already 4 slots.

And the rest are 3 slot.

[violet prawn]

mhm

[normal hawk]

So 3090 ti should be an easy 5 slot GPU

[violet prawn]

yep

[normal hawk]

4090 for sure will be 5 slots

Seeing up to 600W on the leaks for the 4090. Why smh

[violet prawn]

ik thats crazy

[normal hawk]

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-class-gpu-with-600w-tgp-has-reportedly-been-confirmed

[violet prawn]

whoever is tryna get the 40 series

they def need a new psu

and there wallets are going to crash bc of the electric bills

[normal hawk]

XD

[modest pine]

Guys I submitted a return request to Newegg and now I don’t want to return because of reason what do I do

[fading glacier]

6600xt is way better than 3060

[modest pine]

Not that much better only a bit

Like 1 to 10 fps

[green harness]

Cancel the return.

[modest pine]

Ok thx

[hot folio]

MC warranty is so damn nice, no questions asked and store credit instead of exact card replacement

[shell geyser]

What is everyone's opinion on the Asus Phoenix 1050ti

[hot folio]

3080ti were 2000

And it was only $20 out of pocket

[normal hawk]

Some 3080 ti's yeah.

[hot folio]

None at the microcenter I went to

Cheapest one that wasn’t open box was 2000

[normal hawk]

EVGA and gigabyte have ones closer to 1400$ they usually get bought up faster

EVGA has one that's 1349 still I think.

[hot folio]

I ain’t touching a gigabyte card for a really long time and the EVGA one at microcenter wasn’t in stock at all

[normal hawk]

Why the prejudice against gigabyte cards?

[hot folio]

Almost every gigabyte card I had except one failed on me

Including my 6800xt

[normal hawk]

Maybe it's a you thing

[hot folio]

Then there’s their warranty which shafted me multiple times

[normal hawk]

:p

[hot folio]

And how would that be a me thing?

[normal hawk]

You are the common denominator between them:p

[hot folio]

Except cards from other brands worked fine without any problems in the past

Maybe I’m just really unlucky but I’m still sticking away from gigabyte

[heady turtle]

Jinx - only had one but fyi gigglebyte pritt sticks on their capacitors

[sage elk]

Quick question is the GPU Prices Still going down ?

[heady turtle]

Yeah a bit

[green harness]

EVGA has sold one for 1199, also has some around 1250 or 1299 iirc.

[normal hawk]

Yeah probably

I wish the 3080 ti had 16gbs VRAM instead of 12. Would be nice for 4k gaming

[keen nacelle]

3060 24gb when

[normal hawk]

See unlike you I'm serious

3080 ti should have 16gbs.

12 will get filled up on blockbuster titles sooner than you think.

[keen nacelle]

I know

I knew you were being serious

It made me think of that though

[normal hawk]

Actually, how much does AC Valhalla use at 4k high settings?

[green harness]

EVGA has sold this one somewhat recently: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=12G-P5-3955-KR
($1329)
I think the 1199 one only went out to queue a handful of times early on (I happened to luck out there)

[keen nacelle]

Not a clue

[normal hawk]

Valhalla uses 6gbs @4k ultra HD. They did pretty well on that.

Far cry 6 uses almost twice that apparently

They got that Texture pack that pushes it up to 10gbs 😳

[ivory herald]

Although the 3060 for instance isn't exactly powerful enough to push settings at high fps that would need much over 12GB Vram. We definitely see how Vram usage can vary tons by game.

[solemn panther]

still amazes me how the 12gb 3080 exist

Pretty dumb tbh

[solemn panther]

Lool

[hot folio]

Honesty yeah like I’ve been looking at benchmarks and the difference between the 12gb and the TI is like less than 5%

[solemn panther]

Useless

[vital oriole]

nvidia making every skus possible to milk the most money

that's why it exists

[hot folio]

Literally

[hot folio]

Ngl I’ve been messing around with this card for the few hours I had it so far and even tho it ain’t a 3080ti I’m loving the hell out of it

[solemn panther]

Ofc it's a great card

Just shouldn't exist

[hot folio]

Oh I definitely agree

Stupid that they made it, just a completely obvious cash grab

Also I was just updating firmware using precision X1 and all the PCIE LEDs on the gpu turned red

Ahh ok thanks

Kinda got scared I’d have to upgrade my PSU

I’m running it off a 750w rn

Also how does EVGA’s step up program work?

That’s what I thought but then I saw something about only being able to within 90 days of original purchase

Unless I’m misunderstanding something

Ahh ok

[fading glacier]

not exactly to my understanding

kinda weird o.O

missed that 14 day window already T_T

but a 40 series with a new psu... not for me

[keen nacelle]

im excited to bench my 6800xt

[green harness]

You can buy an extended warranty on the card and enter step up if within 90 days

[keen nacelle]

it cant get here too soon

[normal hawk]

When's it getting there

[ivory herald]

40 series is way more than 90 days away so doesn't exactly helps us huh, lol

[keen nacelle]

Somewhere around 3-7 days

[keen nacelle]

3090 ti launches March 29th

[cosmic bluff]

the one card I won't be getting for sure as it is complete overkill for my games lol

[heady turtle]

88th of January*

[keen nacelle]

And a 3090 isnt?

[cosmic bluff]

It is and that's why I'm downgrading

[keen nacelle]

Ah

6800xt is going to be complete overkill for me

[cosmic bluff]

3090 was used for work and no longer need the power of it and I'll have a 3080 instead and cash

[keen nacelle]

3060 ti already kinda is considering the most demanding thing I play currently is modded minecragt and valorant

With a bit of cod mixed in

[cosmic bluff]

I could go through a whole list of games I play and even vr games as well but that'd be a while to finish

[magic wing]

FACTS

[normal hawk]

Hey wait bacca, why not give the 3060 ti to your so?

[magic wing]

inb4 someone comes getting pissy because u said this lmfao

"MiNeRs BaD hOw DaRe U sElL gAmOr GpU tO tHeM"

[keen nacelle]

or before some miner gets mad at me scalping a miner

lmao

im not getting any hits at $700 so ill prolly try 650

[velvet grail]

I like how some people accuse miners for "stealing" GPUs and then they don't even try to get one

[heady turtle]

where you posting?

[keen nacelle]

marketplace and hws

[heady turtle]

try ebay too no?

[keen nacelle]

sellers fees are a pain

and ebay is annoying to deal with

[heady turtle]

are they?

[sullen panther]

Dude for the life of me I can't get my bank info to work on eBay and I've tried for months

I tried to sell nonlhr cards before the price went down but eBay was like I'm not going to work lmao

[keen nacelle]

meh, i had someone buy a microphone from me off there and it didnt come with a pop filter

that microphone doesnt come with one

he gave me a bad rating because i "didnt state that"

so i now have a 2 star rating and its my only one

mmm

effort

ill try a bit longer on marketplace and hws

[normal hawk]

I gave up cause no one wanted to flat trade a FHR 3080 for 6900xt locally

Maybe i could try again since 6900xt prices dropped a bit.

[keen nacelle]

could def sell the 3080 and buy a 6900xt if you have a mc near you

what?

if that was directed at me, i didnt mean either of us would sell or buy the others card

or if there was a deleted msg or smthn

[normal hawk]

None of us are selling on discord

That's gross

[keen nacelle]

i was saying he could sell his 3080

not to me, just sell his 3080

and then buy a 6900xt from mc if he ahs one near him

[normal hawk]

I do

[keen nacelle]

do they still have the $1050 6900xt sale going on?

also AMD direct is every thursday

[heady turtle]

@normal hawk next Thursday at around 9:55 est amd drop, yesterday after drop there where still 6900xt references for 1k listed

[normal hawk]

Heh, if i had a 6900xt it'd be a better Xbox.

3700x + 6900xt 😅

[keen nacelle]

lmao

Gpus supposed to get here tmrw according to fedex

Pog

How's the cooling on the reference 6800xt?

[livid idol]

Decent enough that I haven't heard of any problems

[normal hawk]

One of my coworkers has the formula OC and I'm kinda jealous 🤤

Whats the most you should pay for a Radeon 6600?

[heady turtle]

368 because thats the price you can buy one from wegg rn

[normal hawk]

And for a 6600xt?

[heady turtle]

460

[normal hawk]

Would paying a little more because they allow monthly payments make sense? 🤔

[heady turtle]

imo no, personally if you cant buy it right now twice.... you shouldnt be buying it unless its an essential

although doesnt newegg offer that on most products anyway>

[normal hawk]

with a credit check ya

Amazon doesn't require credit checks. shockingly enough. I like it. Thats how I buy anything from them thats over 500$ just cause its easier.

[heady turtle]

hmm

[normal hawk]

like my Tablet for example I did monthly payments. Allows me to keep emergency funds ya?

[heady turtle]

understandable

[normal hawk]

by emergency I don't mean my emergency funds I more of mean in case something breaks.

[heady turtle]

i see well youd be paying like uuh 30$ more so ntb up to you i guess https://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-Fighter-Radeon-Graphics-Powered/dp/B09BY57MT3

[normal hawk]

Nah only select objects have monthly plans. This one https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-SWFT210-Graphics-RX-66XT8DFDQ/dp/B09B17SQBS/

[heady turtle]

:/

how do you see?

https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/amazon/dFmmP6 does this have?

or at least this https://pcpartpicker.com/mr/amazon/gP8bt6

[normal hawk]

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Radeon-RX-6600-XT/dp/B09BK6NJ9N/ This one

and the other one I posted are it for 6600 XT's

https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-Radeon-Graphics-RX-66XL8LFDQ/dp/B09HHLX543 6600 That has a monthly option

Would totally get a 1299 6900XT with a monthly plan.

[hot wave]

would anybody recommend the gigabyte rtx 3050

for a relatively budget build

[green harness]

Depends on the cost

[hot wave]

as is rn

so like 500-600$ cad

[green harness]

Sounds like too much to me, but I am not familiar with pricing in Canada so I have only converted to USD

[hot wave]

oh ok

is there any gpus u would recommend

right now

or should I wait to see if the shortage passes over

[green harness]

In that range it's rough. Gigabyte does have one of the cheaper 3050s. I'd also look at EVGA. Otherwise I'd look at the used market

[hot wave]

do used gpus work fine?

[keen nacelle]

Way too high

[rustic pulsar]

prices are kinda dropping so wait a bit if u can

[keen nacelle]

Look for a 6600, 6600xt, or 3060

[hot wave]

I’ve been a bit reluctant of gg to the used markets

[heady turtle]

Not at all

[green harness]

They can, but ymmv ofc

[keen nacelle]

Used market is fine

[hot wave]

ye I’ve been looking at the 6600

[heady turtle]

500 cad maybbeee

[rustic pulsar]

6600 is really bad, 6600XT/3060 is what i would go for

[keen nacelle]

Everything is good for a price. 6600 at 330 is fine

[hot wave]

6000 series in general

[rustic pulsar]

yeah its pretty good

[keen nacelle]

6500xt is the embarrassment

[rustic pulsar]

yes that one i got them confused hehe

[keen nacelle]

Imagine they release a 6500 lol

Would only be worth if it's pcie powered and costs $50

[rustic pulsar]

they would have to pay people to buy it lol

[green harness]

You all haven't kept 100% up on the news huh?
https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/amd-radeon-rx-6400

[keen nacelle]

That's an oem card

[green harness]

Still

It's a GPU below a 6500xt

[hot wave]

whaaatttt

[rustic pulsar]

i cant wait to see benchmarks

[keen nacelle]

It's not part of the widely available lineup

[green harness]

It being oem isn't going to make it faster

[hot wave]

in Canadian

[keen nacelle]

That's not bad, if it's legit

[rustic pulsar]

what cite

[hot wave]

ye Canada computers

[keen nacelle]

I'd be weary depending on what you're buying from

[hot wave]

most reputable store in the country lol

[rustic pulsar]

https://www.canadacomputers.com

[green harness]

That's a nice price for a 70 Ti for this market

[rustic pulsar]

yeah than thats a okay deal

[green harness]

And the Asus TUF line has been good this gen

[rustic pulsar]

is that cad or usd>

[green harness]

They said cad

[hot wave]

cad

[green harness]

That beats EVGA pricing

[heady turtle]

@hot wave one of these https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gJTp99/sapphire-radeon-rx-6600-8-gb-pulse-video-card-11310-01-20g
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nyH7YJ/powercolor-radeon-rx-6600-xt-8-gb-fighter-video-card-6600xt-8gbd6-3dh

[rustic pulsar]

~700 USD good deal

[hot wave]

lmaoooo all sold out online

[keen nacelle]

Are those in canada?

[hot wave]

are 1660s good

ti

[green harness]

It's all relative. What matters is price to performance.

[hot wave]

how bout 528usd 6600xt

[heady turtle]

Crap thought i went to ca

[green harness]

Personally that's a bit more than I'd want to spend on that card but it could be worse. AMD.com recently had 6700XTs in stock for a while after their drop, so you might want to see if you can grab one of those Thursday https://www.amd.com/en/direct-buy/us

[minor mesa]

i found some really good gpu prices on facebook market place

idk if they're legit or not but supposedly they are from an internet cafe closing

[keen nacelle]

Yeah thats fake

Extremely fake

$90 3080 ti isn't real. Idk why you'd think otherwise

[minor mesa]

okay okay just checking myself (maybe they were heavily used)

[heady turtle]

Nope even broken cards would sell for more than that

[median sequoia]

4000 series cards will likely be $4000

[solemn panther]

Doubt

[cosmic bluff]

Wasn't the estimated rumor price for the 4050 be around $450-500?

[hot wave]

wht are some good used GPU sites

or reliable sellers on eBay

nice ty

thank god

I’ve been dying trying to find one under 800$cad that would work well with a build

saw the 3090 resale price and started crying

[cosmic bluff]

great pricing isn't it

[hot wave]

it pains me daily

[cosmic bluff]

Ngl if your just gaming it's not worth it but if you need it for work based then that's the card to choose

I can get them currently cheaper than that

True

[hot wave]

at this point I just want my wallet to not go into cardiac arrest when I look at them

[normal hawk]

They do have a 6500 that was leaked.

The OEM one is a 6400 however. which is basically a new GT 1030 lmao.

it looks like the swapped out the 6500 so it'll just be 6400.

[ivory herald]

Better than a 1070, but slower than a 1080, a quick exanple.

[keen nacelle]

It's very slightly worse than a 2060

[ivory herald]

That too. Xx50 tier cards sure are getting expensive.

[keen nacelle]

Mm

[keen nacelle]

My best buy actually has three cards in stock

Just terrible price

Best is an $850 3070 ti

[fleet terrace]

Lol, just bought a GTX 680.

[slate galleon]

when is the next 3080 FE restock on best buy?

[lone pond]

No clue

hi guys

Does anyone here have the Reverb G2 headset? the newest model?

[magic lava]

??

[brave violet]

@magic lava You're in the wrong area. Maybe you should go #peripherals-and-displays

[crisp tendon]

Man another 3090 RTX Founder's Edition going for sale on Facebook for £1600

Apparently "unopened"

Listed over a week ago and "reduced" from £1750

Do people actually sell the cards at these prices?

[heady turtle]

Sus

[keen nacelle]

The gpu might not be coming today

Well, it's not

Yesterday I got a notif it was coming today

It's currently in ohio

I'm to the north east of New york

[normal hawk]

sadge

[magic wing]

Where exactly (Not asking so i can sit outside ur door the entire day and wait till gpu comes to intercept it)

[keen nacelle]

I live in Ontario england

[hot folio]

Should I buy? Yay or nay

Only $100 over MSRP

[cosmic bluff]

Not bad at all

[ivory herald]

"Only". Eh, 70 Ti is the 1 model I'd probably skip. not much faster than non-Ti but much more power usage. Althought $700ish is pretty reasonable actually.

[green harness]

Should be a good card, good price for the moment. Do you need/want any of the FTW3 features?

[shy wave]

msi 3080 gaming z trio 12gb vs asus tuf 3080 oc 12gb

both just about 1300

[green harness]

EVGA FTW3 https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=12G-P5-4877-BH
Or actually just 80Ti FTW3 or XC3 https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+30+Series+Family

Oh that FTW3 is a bulk sku without the retail box, so just be aware of that. Comes with 1 less year warranty that can't be extended, so XC3 actually is better imo

[shy wave]

the ftw3 is also available at my microcenter

all 1300

which one is the best?\

[vital oriole]

ftw3 sucks

oh wait no, i meant xc3 lol

but in this case xc3 definitely better

[shy wave]

what features does ftw3 come with>

[green harness]

XC3 doesn't suck

[green harness]

Dual bios, fairly good cooler, rgb

XC3 is more barebones (smaller cooler, very little rgb, no dual bios)

EVGA also has particularly good warranty support

[shy wave]

would you pick the ftw3 over my picks? all of them are 1300

[vital oriole]

I would personally do tuf

[green harness]

Yes

[ivory herald]

How much? I'd lean towards the Z Trio, currently $1240 w/ code - https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3080-rtx-3080-gaming-z-trio-12g-lhr/p/N82E16814137711 (although evga does have their possibly overhyped warranty/service).

[pliant monolith]

so im newer to graphics cards XD and evga website with all the different ones at the time (water, ftw, xc, sc, ko) not sure what to really shoot for XD i dont wanna spend more than 500, but not sure what to watch haha, i know i need 6gb min to run some of the programs i wanna run. but thats about where my knowledge comes to a close haha. any in-site on what to watch for?

[magic wing]

3060 or 3060ti

[pliant monolith]

is that the xc versions?

[magic wing]

any 3 fan version you can get tbh

[pliant monolith]

O 3 fans seems 600+ 🤔 there's some 2 fan 3060 in the 400s

1 fan big difference?

[magic wing]

3060 for 400$ isnt bad

which ones u looking at

[pliant monolith]

EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti XC GAMING, 08G-P5-3663-KL, 8GB GDDR6, Dual-Fan, Metal Backplate, LHR

Not in stocks atm. But I'm going to start watching that and the non ti one

So xc to properly answer your question

[magic wing]

yeah is fine for 3060 and 60ti

[pliant monolith]

Sweet thanks!

[heady turtle]

ouch

[magic wing]

guys

guys

guys

january has ended

[keen nacelle]

False

3070 ti 16gb still not out

[magic wing]

sheeeee

[normal hawk]

2000$ is less than I spent on a 3090, so there's that I guess

[heady turtle]

Best part is FE is 2.25k eur but usd to eur prices for rest of FE are 1:1

[normal hawk]

I spent 2.25k on a 3090 lol. 😬

[heady turtle]

Yeah but that was ages ago... I'm saying how Nvidia is scalping it's eu customers more than it's us cusotmers

[normal hawk]

EU has more expendable income cause better jobs and less spent on healthcare probably.

Although I'm curious as to who the target of the card actually is.

Cause it doesn't perform that much better in workstation tasks iirc

[heady turtle]

Ehhh healthcare definitely idk about the average expendable income, we get taxed way more than US... But the rest of the FE cards are 1:1 price that should not be an excuse anyway

[normal hawk]

When you consider healthcare. Y'all pay less overall.

Including taxes.

[lone pond]

[normal hawk]

Someone who makes 60k USD in the EU vs US will have like 3-5% more in the end.

[heady turtle]

Ow

[normal hawk]

And then y'all still have workers rights unlike the US

People selling their mining cards to upgrade? Weird

[heady turtle]

Idk about that but even still it's not a good excuse for it

[normal hawk]

Which country is that retailer in?

[heady turtle]

Across all of EU for the FE 3090 ti cards

[normal hawk]

Or was that for you? I know countries like Hungary and Switzerland have a huge VAT

Switzerland ain't EU though

[heady turtle]

That's germany, NL, Spain, Fr, Belgium, italy

[normal hawk]

Hungary is though and they have a 27% vat according to my friend.

[heady turtle]

And UK's also converts to about 2.2k eur

[normal hawk]

I don't get why EU countries still have VAT taxes smh.

[heady turtle]

What lol

Same reason US has sales tax

Same thing

[normal hawk]

The "US" doesn't have sales taxes. That's a state/City thing. And there are states with 0% sales taxes.

[heady turtle]

Yes they are

VAT isn't an import tax either

It's a tax on a good/service

[normal hawk]

That's a lot of revenue.

[heady turtle]

A value-added tax, known in some countries as a goods and services tax, is a type of tax that is assessed incrementally. It is levied on the price of a product or service at each stage of production, distribution, or sale to the end consumer.

[normal hawk]

In Hungary they collect 27% whenever goods changes hands? No wonder GPUs are so expensive there

Its a transfer of goods and services tax. That's paid each time @heady turtle sales tax is only paid on the final sale to consumer. That's the difference.

[heady turtle]

VAT in the EU is sales tax tho

[heady turtle]

That each stage thing is actually wrong

Idk why it said that

It's only applied to the consumer

[fading glacier]

holy molly the reviews for the 3090 tie are already out

[green harness]

They shoulda been allowed out yesterday tbh

[fading glacier]

but at 2200 mrsp for the evga ftw3 version... well...

[green harness]

My guess is the ftw3 won't be too hard to come by

[fading glacier]

none of those will be too hard to get... as long as you meet the price

mining and scalping are on the decline

[heady turtle]

still cheaper than fe 3090 ti in Europe 💀

[keen nacelle]

6800xt is actually coming today

Won't have the chance to oc it though, I work tn

Will have to wait for tommorow

[heady turtle]

Pog

[keen nacelle]

should just call out sick

[heady turtle]

lol dont

[keen nacelle]

Just joking

I've only called out I think two days

One was for covid

The other a terrible migraine

And I was late once but that was my brothers fault, he said i worked at 11 and then he wakes me up at 9:30 saying I was late, was supposed to work at 9

[heady turtle]

bruv

[normal hawk]

Bacca you should put Steam OS on your PC and turn it into a console.

[pliant monolith]

So I'm about to try and purchase my first graphic card. Before I do, just wanna ask, do all cards work with all mobo? Or do I need to find certain brands?

[heady turtle]

You're all good

[pliant monolith]

Tyty

[keen nacelle]

Already done

[normal hawk]

wait really?

[idle idol]

RTX 3090 ti price is a bit outrageous.

[normal hawk]

Nah Rommy don't listen to them. Get the Strix 3090 ti

Gigabyte hasn't revealed their 3090 ti's yet.

Aorus extreme and aorus master better be 5 slot cards.

Or imma riot.

[hot folio]

What’s the word on the 3090ti? I’m assuming it’s really bad

[normal hawk]

Its barely an improvement on the 3090.

Basically then trying to keep the number one spot cause the 6950 XT or whatever

[fading glacier]

10-15% improvement over the 3090

at 2k usd

the one big advantage is no memory on the backside of the pcb, all 12 gddr6x modules are on the main side, 2gb per module

easier to cool

[wicked hound]

Mostly coming from the larger PL and base core/mem clocks

[fading glacier]

however as the old saying goes: too little, too late

40 series are on the horizon already

probably the 4080 will be at the end of the year

along with the 4070

[wicked hound]

Still unknown as for how that effects daily enthusiast OCing. They'll have fans on back of card or smth. More modules means lower heat density but more chance of getting bad module which worsens ur mem OC.

[fading glacier]

in fact, 4080 mid year and 4070 at the end of the year

4060 and the ti variants probably next year as well

[wicked hound]

We still dont know price. Im losing faith in well priced GPUs, basically looks like $700 xx80Ti days are gone.

Lovelace isnt expected to have cheap manufacturing, which is even more of a downer

[normal hawk]

Its gonna be expensive, and power hungry.

[fading glacier]

well ill skip the next gen anyway, ill hop into the 50 series train in a couple years

[wicked hound]

Shouldnt say "it will be", but dont give high hopes on good pricing at least.

[normal hawk]

Radeon 7000 MCM GPU's will be nice hopefully.

[agile chasm]

Hey, guys. I'm just a gamer type who has a GTX 1060 6Gb at the moment. It can run Elden Ring 1080p on low settings acceptably with occasional stutter, but for the most part it works. I've been looking to get a 30 series card to upgrade to since they released. Which should I look out for? Thinking the ASUS TUF 3080. Budget : <$1,000

[royal kernel]

idk but how much you want for that 1060 lmao /j

[normal hawk]

Is the GPU all you're upgrading?

Are you in the US?

[agile chasm]

Yep, Arkansas. Just the GPU. I've got a Ryzen 7 with 16GB of Ram and 650W PSU.

[normal hawk]

Also, where are you looking at a 3080 that's below 1000$?

12gb starts closer to 1249$ and I haven't seen a 10gb in forever. Especially from asus

[royal kernel]

hey so im looking for a card that can run minecraft at 60fps at 1080p

and more complicated games like sot at 30fps

[normal hawk]

Are you looking at an open box @agile chasm

[royal kernel]

at least

would a 1050/60 be good?

[normal hawk]

What's your budget?

[royal kernel]

i wanna say less than 300

preferably less than 250

ive been seeing ebay bids that sell 1060s starting out at like 150

and ive just been wondering if i should follow those

[normal hawk]

1060 would work, not sure about that price though. If a 3050 was available at MSRP (249) I'd suggest that but i haven't seen one for that price since they released.

[royal kernel]

also what would the amd equivalent be to a 1060 cause i have no idea

[royal kernel]

what would you say a good price for a 1050/60 would be?

cause ive been seeing them on ebay for about 200-270 to buy now

or would it be better to use one of those nvidia teslas that im seeing everywhere? idk if it would work with integrated graphics

[agile chasm]

Do you mean used cards?

[normal hawk]

Yeah

[agile chasm]

I wouldn't be opposed, I suppose

[normal hawk]

I'm not sure on how much to spend on the used market. It really depends on you and the games you play as well as how long would it take for you to get 100-200$ more to just buy a 6600. Yeah? Or if it would be viable to wait for a 3050

[normal hawk]

I don't see any Asus 3080's currently under a thousand dollars? Where did you see the one you were thinking of

[royal kernel]

ok, thanks

[agile chasm]

I just know the MSRP is around $700 for a 3080

[normal hawk]

Yeah the 10gb model. Which is scarcely in production

And very few AIB's had those under 1k after the 3070 ti released for a while

If you want a 3080 in your budget you'll probably have to get a best buy drop (FE cards) or wait for prices to fall further. (Assuming 10gb cards are still being made, haven't seen them in a while)

12gb 3080 which is the more common one, starts at 1249

[hot folio]

~RX480

[hot folio]

MSRP of it is 1249? Jeez I got a good deal considering that’s the MSRP

[normal hawk]

There's no official MSRP for it. AIBs just settled it at 1249

The lowest end cards from Gigabyte, EVGA, and Asus i believe sat at 1249 when it launched.

[hot folio]

Ahh

[normal hawk]

3080 ti became a much better buy lol

Only because the 3080 12gb is dumb

[agile chasm]

Hot dang okay. Although I read ASUS is cutting prices by about 25% after the tariffs. So that might lower that $1249, right?

[hot folio]

Ehh is 5% worth the extra hundred or so for the 3080ti?

[hot folio]

ASUS 3080 12gbs start at around 1600

[normal hawk]

Nah, the 1249 is probably the price floor for the model.

[agile chasm]

Gotcha. What's the going price for 3070s?

[hot folio]

You can get a FTW3 Ultra for $1300 at MC

[hot folio]

You can get them for like $700 iirc

[agile chasm]

I really just want something better than my 1060 😅

[hot folio]

Basically most things 3060/6600xt and up will be better

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-rtx-3080-tuf-rtx3080-o12g-gaming/p/N82E16814126551

1299 here

[agile chasm]

Best place to look online for a 3070/80? I don't have a MicroCenter nearby in my state

[hot folio]

Oh damn

[hot folio]

EVGA, they’re selling a 3070ti for around $730

And it’s in stock

[agile chasm]

Whoa.

Link?

[normal hawk]

Yea

720$ sips actually

[hot folio]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P5-3785-KL

Honestly this is one of the best GPU deals I’ve seen recently

[normal hawk]

Yeah, I'd get that and save the rest of your budget for later.

[hot folio]

Or 3060 for $430 https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=12G-P5-3657-KR

[normal hawk]

Depends on price

Look at pricing:performance.

If you see a 3060 ti or up cheaper than the 2000 series card. Don't get the 2000 series card tbh.

Definitely don't get a 2080 ti, people are pricing those way too high still i think.

[agile chasm]

Will my 650W PSU suffice with a 3070 TI?

[normal hawk]

Which 650w PSU is it?

If you have a 80+gold that's reputable I'd assume it's fine. But if you have like an 80+ bronze or a ticking time bomb it would be iffy.

[hot folio]

Minimum spec for a 3070ti is 750w

[cerulean rover]

It draws around 300w

will be fine in most cases

[hot folio]

Pretty sure you could get by with a quality 650

[agile chasm]

CORSAIR CX Series CX650 650W ATX12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply, CP-9020122-NA

[hot folio]

Ehhh

[normal hawk]

Yeah I'd get a new one

[hot folio]

Maybe not

[normal hawk]

The 3050 is about 1660 super level. All the 2000 series cards are better than it.

[cerulean rover]

tbh cx should do fine

[hot folio]

2070 is a good bit faster than a 3050

[cerulean rover]

cx650 12v rail trips at like 850w

[agile chasm]

Understood! My PC was bought and built in May, 2019. All that is from then

[cerulean rover]

opp and otp

So it should be fine, CX is pretty good anyways

[normal hawk]

I'd look at 2070 (super and regular) and 2060 super prices in your area. Those might have decent prices.

[hot folio]

Lmao so I’ve been messing around on UBM cause I’m bored and it’s saying a 3080 mobile is 170% faster than a RX480 meanwhile at the same time a desktop 3080 is only 150% faster than a RX480

Gotta love UBM

[cerulean rover]

mmm

[agile chasm]

Got an estimate of like a % difference between the 3070 ti and a 3080?

[hot folio]

~30%

[cerulean rover]

if I had to guess, 5% for performance

[normal hawk]

1650 to 3050 is debatable. The extra vram and DLSS do offer quite a bit. Assuming you can get it for MSRP

[cerulean rover]

ubm numbers?

[normal hawk]

If you could get the 3050 for <320$ and sell your 1650 for half the price. Which is likely cause people like low profile cards it would be a fine upgrade imo.

But there aren't many 3050s that cheap

[wicked hound]

Idk if you can even get that with 3070ti stock lowest PL to 3080 with modified vBIOS and very high PLs + EVC for unlimited VL

Unless LN2 maybe

[cerulean rover]

might be talking ubm numbers, and ubm numbers tend to make no sense

[cerulean rover]

yea it's ubm pulling lies again

Actual perf difference closer to 10% looking at tom's hardware

[agile chasm]

Is $720 a fair price for the 3070 ti?

Or do you think it'll come down in a few months

[hot folio]

Really? I was always under the impression the difference between the 3070ti and 3080 was around 25-30, could’ve sworn I saw that on passmark

Nvm looks like I was wrong kinda. Some games the gap increases to 20-25%

[keen nacelle]

I hate fedex

[green harness]

Didn't come?

[normal hawk]

😦 Sadness

Yeah I hate Fedex too. I hate that people use them. UPS is better and even in my experience, USPS is better.

only good Fedex delivery I had was the Steam Deck, otherwise they're always late

[ivory herald]

They're all fine when they don't "toss" down a mobo.

[vapid bramble]

How big a difference is 1200 cuda cores, going to be a real noticeable difference? Looking at the new gigabyte 3080 12gb waterforce verse the 3080ti version of it

[livid idol]

3080 ti is better and often cheaper or the same price

And make sure it's a triple 8 pin and not a dual. Power limiting isn't fun.

Since the max a dual 8 pin can do is 375W
