[green harness]

I've got an XC3 card

[sage hemlock]

its not secondhand, but it might not have waranty

[green harness]

Anything bought on stockx is being bought from someone who already purchased it, hence secondhand
Yes, it's BNIB, but anyone buying from stockx is unlikely to be treated as the original buyer for warranty purposes

[sage hemlock]

oh i thought you meant secondhand as used, its just a resold item

you you rlly need the warranty

[green harness]

Yeah, there are many reasons not to buy from stockx (one being not supporting price gougers), another being that if the warranty isn't transferrable oh well

[north escarp]

Just my PSU shorted and thought it took my GPU with it cuz it had no output. Replaced my 3070 with a ti version and found out my pcie5 lane was bad. And now switched it to my pcie4 lane and still getting the same issue of no output

[ivory herald]

Slot, not lane. Anyways sort of need more info. Never heard of a pcie slot being kaput, & gpu in other slot w/ no "output" is another matter. You have all needed power cables & display cable from gpu to monitor? Any error codes or debug leds also?

[livid idol]

I've seen slots die, and Asus is doing RMA on it

It was the dangerously bad g.skill power supply that surged and killed it

[vital oriole]

it's a skill issue of the psu

[rustic pulsar]

every so often when mining my computer makes the sound it makes when I shut it down, I turn the monitor on and everything is normal with a full hashrate, should be concerned, is my psu gonna go supernova?

[tropic remnant]

Is it a supernova 😛

[vital oriole]

is it coil whine?

[heady turtle]

What kind of sound? Can you record it?

[velvet grail]

Considering this one can't be shipped to Italy, I found a similar one, it's about 115€
http://www.adt.link/product/R43SG-TB3-Shop.html

R43SG TB3
(sorry if I waited a long time to send a link)

Is it good? Any bottleneck? It uses thunderbolt 3 so I think it is good for a laptop

[rustic pulsar]

Not really since it’s not constant and kinda random. I’ll see if I can find one on YouTube later

[velvet grail]

https://youtu.be/HP73edpQwgc
1:30, if it sounds similar it could be coil whine

Btw it's harmless
It could just be a capacitor making that noise

You can solve it with undervolting

(If it is CPU or GPU)

[rustic pulsar]

def not that, it's like a .5 second sound

if i had to describe it in words, it's a like a short .5 second high pitch pulse

[limpid tree]

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Graphics-Cards/ASUS/RTX3080-O10G-NOCUTA/

[vital oriole]

that's released for a while kek

[normal hawk]

No the 3080 just released. It was the 3070 that released a while ago

[vital oriole]

oh

[lone pond]

Would a 3050 be a decent choice if I'm just going to use it as a dedicated streaming system and emulation, like Yuzu?

Would rather not spend too much on a secondary pc

[livid idol]

Yeah that'll be fine. It'll have the nice nvenc encoder for streaming.

[lone pond]

Thanks

[manic swift]

what 3060 should i get

[keen nacelle]

whatever you can find for the best price

[manic swift]

im cunfuzzeled

[rustic pulsar]

any for a good deal just avoid ventus

[keen nacelle]

that isnt a phoenix fan

[keen nacelle]

ventus is fine on 3060

[rustic pulsar]

really

i was told to avoid it on 2060

[keen nacelle]

wouldnt be my first choice, but it works

[keen nacelle]

2060 ventus 2x was much worse

[livid idol]

Ventus 2x is still bad, 3x is fine on 3060

[manic swift]

should i get this 1

the founders edition

[keen nacelle]

founders 3060 doesnt exist

[livid idol]

There's no 3060 FE, do you mean the 3060 ti?

[manic swift]

ye ti

[keen nacelle]

thats very different

[livid idol]

If you can get it from Best Buy go for it, it'll be one of the best for the price

[keen nacelle]

it depends where youre buying from

[manic swift]

newegg

[keen nacelle]

no

i doubt its reasonably priced

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9F6p99/pny-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-lhr-8-gb-xlr8-gaming-revel-epic-x-rgb-dual-fan-video-card-vcg3060t8ldfxppb theres this

[livid idol]

Newegg doesn't sell FE models so that's third party and yeah probably scalped

[keen nacelle]

$550

[manic swift]

is that gud

[rustic pulsar]

560!!!

[keen nacelle]

whats your budget

[rustic pulsar]

bad deal imo

[keen nacelle]

for the whole build

[keen nacelle]

better than every single other in stock 3060 ti

[manic swift]

i need a gpu cpu cpu cooler and a case thats it

[green harness]

I got one better

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P5-3663-KL

[keen nacelle]

whats the budget

[manic swift]

max 960

$$

[green harness]

$479 3060 Ti right there

[keen nacelle]

and what parts have you alright bought

[keen nacelle]

doesnt it require evga elite

[livid idol]

For the free shipping and exclusive drops yes

[green harness]

I see ATC and I am not logged in

[keen nacelle]

ah nice

[manic swift]

none i need motherboard a cpu a graphics card and case

[green harness]

Can use an assoc code to get 3% off

[keen nacelle]

so you dont have any parts right now then...?

[manic swift]

no

[livid idol]

$960 USD right? That's a bit too tight of a budget for a 3060 ti

[manic swift]

ye

[green harness]

Well you can get a 3060 or 3050 from EVGA for a relatively good price too

[keen nacelle]

one minute

[livid idol]

Eh 3060 still $400

On EVGA

[green harness]

Yeah

There are now some better than that I think

They often have a $250 3050 which I don't think is that common?

[keen nacelle]

what tier is the GA?

[livid idol]

EVGA GA?

[keen nacelle]

this is what im looking at right now https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MhZQd9

[keen nacelle]

yeah

[livid idol]

Low B

[manic swift]

but @keen nacelle where should i buy my parts from and cun u accetp my request i wanna know what parts i should buy for my budget

[keen nacelle]

look at the list i just sent

[livid idol]

Notes say it trips often when using high power GPUs, 3080/6800XT+

[keen nacelle]

can also do this gpu instead https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Fr8bt6/gigabyte-radeon-rx-6650-xt-8-gb-eagle-video-card-gv-r665xteagle-8gd

[manic swift]

can u accetpy my request so i can get it in order

[keen nacelle]

we can talk here

[manic swift]

what cpu should i get

[keen nacelle]

just look at this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xZvRVw

that build list is the best youll do for your budget

[manic swift]

ur the best bro

[keen nacelle]

if you want to add a heatsink this works https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zr8bt6/id-cooling-se-214-xt-argb-682-cfm-cpu-cooler-se-214-xt-argb

but the stock one will be enough

@livid idol what do you think of that case?

i think its a nice find

[manic swift]

im gonna get this case

https://nzxt.com/product/h510

[keen nacelle]

PLEASE NO

i am begging you please dont

[manic swift]

y

[livid idol]

[keen nacelle]

the h510 is terrible

its a furnace

[livid idol]

We have that emote for a reason

[keen nacelle]

has terrible airflow

[manic swift]

what case should i get but like i want it white

[keen nacelle]

-_-

word of advice

[manic swift]

or any good 1

[keen nacelle]

take what you can get when youre on a tight budget

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YNdrxr/phanteks-eclipse-p360a-atx-mid-tower-case-ph-ec360atg_dwt

if you really need it to be white

[manic swift]

but is this a good pc

[keen nacelle]

the p360a is a great case

just not exactly good for your budget

[livid idol]

A few months ago an under 1k build was almost impossible without a crap gpu

[manic swift]

ik this is a stiupid question will it eun fortnite good

[keen nacelle]

pain

fortnite tends to have issues with amd gpus

so youd want a 3060

[manic swift]

cuz i was thinking about getting the hp pavilion

[keen nacelle]

again plz no

[manic swift]

them

[keen nacelle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4LK74s

[manic swift]

@keen nacelle

[keen nacelle]

whats up

[manic swift]

is the list u gave me like all these parts are they compatible with the case

[keen nacelle]

yes

[manic swift]

and how about the power supply is it good for the pc

and the cpu is it next gen or current gen

im not the best with pc parts

[keen nacelle]

current gen, if it were next gen you couldnt buy it...

the power supply works perfectly fine for the build

[manic swift]

bro ur the best

but can you send me the like of a graphics card that will keep the price the same

link

[keen nacelle]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=12G-P5-3655-KR&associatecode=DCIZQ79WVS4ODJZ

[manic swift]

is that good

[keen nacelle]

for your budget, yes

and its a decent enough card that aside

can run any game currently out at high settings

[manic swift]

with this pc hoe much fps will i get

how

[keen nacelle]

idk

[manic swift]

how

[keen nacelle]

google it

[manic swift]

ok

u helped me so much

[keen nacelle]

np

[manic swift]

yo im on the pc builder site and what operating system should i get

[keen nacelle]

do you currently own a laptop or pc

[manic swift]

@keen nacelle

[manic swift]

a bad pc

[keen nacelle]

if so, you can use the license you already have

do you have a flash drive

or usb drive

[manic swift]

licence

?

[manic swift]

no

[keen nacelle]

does anyone in your family have one

or a friends you could borrow

[manic swift]

im the only one with a windows pc

[keen nacelle]

i mean usb drive

[manic swift]

they all have macs

[manic swift]

no

[keen nacelle]

then you can buy one and download a windows installer onto it

and then login to your microsoft account

[manic swift]

can u send me the link of one

pls

[keen nacelle]

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-Flair-Flash-Drive/dp/B015CH1GTO/ref=sr_1_8?crid=13BSA2EXOKPE6&keywords=16gb+flash+drive&qid=1652748006&sprefix=16gb+flash+drive%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-8 should work

also just to make sure id wait for someone else to double check what ive said

[manic swift]

and a cpu cooler

[keen nacelle]

the 12400f comes with one, its good enough for what the cpu is

[manic swift]

how many gb should i get the flash drive

[keen nacelle]

the 16gb one that i linked

[manic swift]

ok

and what is the think where i can do clips

@keen nacelle

[keen nacelle]

you dont have to ping me after every sentence

what do you mean clips

[manic swift]

like the thing that i can make videos

record my screen?

[livid idol]

Nvidia has shadowplay in the drivers

[frigid anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/intel-intel-arc-intel-arc-graphics-arc-arc-graphics-gif-25273802

Anyone else overly hyped for Arc?

[vital oriole]

im not tbh

[frigid anvil]

I am

I'm totally going for that special edition one in the trailer.

That's gonna be sick.

[livid idol]

Oh cool, the newest leak from reliable source Kopite7 says 4000 will launch in July-August

[frigid anvil]

I think most people are going to be more worried about the new AMD / NVIDIA RTX 4000 cards tho tbh.

Which will be good

That should even out the load of GPU demand between NVIDIA, AMD & Intel.

[livid idol]

It also confirms 4090 will be roughly "double performance" over 3090

[frigid anvil]

Hopefully people don't buy all the new Intel Arc cards. I just want one. That's all I ask.

Yeah

I mean to be honest I game at 1440p and RTX 3000 is already pleanty perf.

4000 is just gonna be more insane.

[livid idol]

Is it enough though? Are you sure

[frigid anvil]

That's why I'm cool with getting one of the Arc A770 or A780 cards which should be equal or close to the perf of a 3070.

Because for me I'm only at 1440P anyway.

People are thinking the A780 is the limited edition model.

[livid idol]

I'd pick one up just to test out niche workloads on it and watch it scream in pain

[frigid anvil]

I want one just to say I have full Intel system.

Should be a lot less power consumption.

[vital oriole]

im just not feelin good about it performing like 3070 for the best variant

but at least it means that it has to be cheap

and less people will be interested

[cerulean rover]

Rule 3, no selling on this discord, but you can try r/hws or Facebook marketplace

[heady turtle]

Yeah no selling here

[lone pond]

What's the best 1x to 16x PCI-E adapter? I'm looking to add a Radeon HD 7870 to my rig for the extra display outputs (and getting an adapter card is way easier and cheaper than a quality USB to Monitor thing) and ebay is showing me tons like this (image below) but idk if I trust them to work. I have the PSU power that I need for it, though.

Surely there's a better one out there somewhere but I can't find it

Ah wait I think I've found one on amazon

Would this work?

[vital oriole]

Yeah it would

But there's nowhere to mount it in the case tho

Talking about the usb riser

[lone pond]

I mean

There is

I have empty PCI slots on my case because my motherboard is physically shorter than the case

So a foam pad under the USB one to prevent shorting

Should be good to go?

[vital oriole]

Yeah

[lone pond]

Sweet, thanks man

[vital oriole]

Don't put a load on it tho, usb can only provide so much power

It could display stuff fine, but don't run games lol

[heady turtle]

Its alright, you power the slot with sata/molex connecters usually

I wouldn't get one off of eBay tho

They're readily available at Amazon or newegg or somewhere more legit

[lone pond]

The card has a 6-pin power slot on it anyway so I'd be using that

And it's not that powerful of a card tbh

[vital oriole]

Hm, true

It won't use too much power

[lone pond]

It's a 130 watt card

(its a 7850 not 7870)

Specifically it's one of these https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/msi-hd-7850-oc-2-gb.b571

I figured it'd do nicely to be a second output and possibly to run my VTubing software without stressing out my GTX 1070

[lone pond]

NewEgg don't seem to have any 1x to 16x risers so I'll look at amazon

[heady turtle]

Running a 2nd display for chrome/discord etc doesn't use that much tbh I'd just use that money saving for your next gpu upgrade i thought you meant you ran out of slots on your 1070 eg you wanted to run 5 displays

[lone pond]

I did run out.

My secondaries are VGA only 😅

GTX 1070 doesn't support VGA

[heady turtle]

Use an adaptor

What slots you have left on your 1070?

[lone pond]

DVI port is not VGA compatible, and then after that I have two DP ports which I don't think are VGA compatible either

Tad annoying tbh

[heady turtle]

Dvi is and so is dp(for dp you need an active converter)

What type of dvi is it?

[lone pond]

Correction
1x DVI
1x HDMI 2.0
3x DisplayPort 1.4a

It's not the type of DVI that works, the pins aren't there for the adapter

And an active DP converter will cost more than a riser card

The HDMI 2.0 goes to my TV

[heady turtle]

Wait you have 5 ports on your 1070?

Which dvi is it?

[lone pond]

DVI-D

[lone pond]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/palit-gtx-1070-dual.b3711 It's this card

[heady turtle]

Right so I'm guessing you already have the old amd card?

[heady turtle]

Single or dual link

[lone pond]

Yea

[lone pond]

Dual

My adapter no fit

My adapter is for a DVI-A and DVI-I (Single and Dual)

I'm using the VGA on my motherboard and the DVI-D on my mobo is dual too

So it no fit there either

[heady turtle]

Huh?

Might just be wrong dvi version

[lone pond]

I have two of them and they're both for DVI-A and DVI-I

[heady turtle]

https://www.amazon.com/CableDeconn-Active-DVI-D-Adapter-Converter/dp/B075L42XF4/ this should work

[lone pond]

Different issue

No it won't work

I just tried the adapter I have

It did fit

So it's a DVI-I port

But there was no output

I just don't think it supports an analogue output

It's really weird because it shouldn't have fit...

Oh well

Tbh the extra horsepower for non-gaming related stuff would be nice to have

Instead of using a UHD 550 for it all

I'll just save up for a new motherboard with two slots 😅

[heady turtle]

You said it was dvi d tho which one is it?

[lone pond]

I have... no idea...

Every image I look at is telling me DVI-D but a DVI-I adapter just fit in the slot and my brain hurts

[heady turtle]

The adaptor might fit in the slot but be missing pins

[final dock]

😬 i have a few dvi adapter versions because of this problem

[frigid anvil]

[heady stratus]

Nobodies even thinking it may be DVDA?

[livid idol]

It could be DMS-59

Which is a godawful connector

The pin density on these things makes it so you have to use really thin plastic between on the connector, so if you try to use the wrong cable... you end up with an unusable port because you just broke 6 pins.

[long ocean]

i feel like my card shouldnt be running like this?

temp rose to 93

[livid idol]

Doing what exactly?

[long ocean]

playing lost ark

the fans are ramping up like crazy too

[livid idol]

93 is within spec technically, throttles at 100

It's a bit high yes, but not dangerous

And that "current temp" that's 73 in the pic is the one you want to look at, junction temp is the memory

[long ocean]

ok

should my card be at 100% load when im playing

[livid idol]

Yes

Usually

Unless it's a game that's light on GPU like esports titles

[long ocean]

hmm okay

the fans ramping up just worried me a bit

if its a brand new graphics card is that expected?

[livid idol]

What model? I see it's a 6700XT

[long ocean]

Red Devil

[livid idol]

Looks like the temps Techpowerup found in their review line up pretty well with yours, 85-86C hotspot when gaming

[long ocean]

hmm okay

the fan speed was just throwing me off

i was worried i was overheating or something

[livid idol]

Looks normal for that model. Must just be hotter than others, maybe a poorer designed heatsink or something.

[long ocean]

ok cool thanks so much!

[heady turtle]

Tpu says DVI so no

[solemn panther]

EVGA B stock 3090 is only $1200 rn

😳

[gusty fern]

How much of an upgrade from a gtx 980 is an RX 6600?

[livid idol]

50%+ in more modern games thanks to more vram

[keen nacelle]

its like going from a 1060 6gb to a 2060 super

[gusty fern]

What about from a gtx 980 to an rtx 3050?

[keen nacelle]

3050 worse than 6600

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wdvdnQ/xfx-radeon-rx-6600-8-gb-speedster-swft-210-video-card-rx-66xl8lfdq

there is also this though https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hJZ9TW/evga-geforce-rtx-3050-8gb-8-gb-xc-black-gaming-video-card-08g-p5-3551-kr

[gusty fern]

The wallet says the 6600 is a winner. How much of a performance hit does it get on an x370 board?

[gusty fern]

How much worse? Also how much difference is there when you factor in a high end x370 board?

[keen nacelle]

mobo is nearly irrelevant to gpu, unless its a 6500xt or 6400

3050 is basically a 1660s with rtx and dlss

[gusty fern]

I mean with the whole pcie 4.0 thing

[keen nacelle]

do you already own the x370?

[gusty fern]

Yes

An x370 pro carbon specifically

[livid idol]

There's no real difference between gen 3 and gen 4 even on a 3090

The only difference would be if the GPU is artificially limited by lane count

[gusty fern]

Isn't the 6600 x8?

[keen nacelle]

6500xt and 6400 are crippled on 3.0 though

[livid idol]

No

[gusty fern]

No on the x8 or no on the crippling?

[livid idol]

Those would be the ones artificially limited yes

[gusty fern]

Oh okay

[livid idol]

I meant while they are x8 it's not limiting enough to matter

Well, some are x8

[wicked hound]

Wait some are x8? I thought all where x4 lol.
Edit: Oh wait, 6600. Nvm.

[gusty fern]

Is the swift 210 rx 6600 x8?

[livid idol]

Yes

[heady turtle]

Most 6600's are actually x8, I haven't seen an x16 one

[manic swift]

123456789

[gusty fern]

Aha my replacement graphics card has been ordered. So long dying GTX 980 hello brand new RX 6600

[lilac cave]

Yo, whats the best Nvidia graphics card under $150?

[gusty fern]

Are you looking used or brand new?

[lilac cave]

New

[gusty fern]

Good luck

[lilac cave]

?

I was gonna get the GTX something mini but it wasnt under 150 on newegg

[ivory herald]

Gtx means nothing. A number is good. Plus, $150ish is tough.

[gusty fern]

If i were you dude I'd start putting aside money for a graphics card because I'm not sure you'll be able to find one for sub $150 new

[lilac cave]

$200?

[lilac cave]

I have a quadro k600 rn

[ivory herald]

Well a 1070 or 2060 might be $200ish. New? Probably not. Until recently, prices were extra high anyways. 6-8months ago a 2060 was $300+

[gusty fern]

The used market has a lot of good parts if you know where to look bro and pay a lot of attention to feedback and whatnot.

[livid idol]

Forget a new dedicated GPU at that price point. You're probably going to need a platform upgrade anyway it sounds like so a 5600g would be your best option.

[gusty fern]

The 1070 went back up last I saw.

[lilac cave]

The minimum i need is a 980 i think. Or 1050. Idr

[livid idol]

Minimum for what?

[lilac cave]

My cpu can hsndle the load. Its my graphics card that blows up if i tey to play pubg

[lilac cave]

To play fortnite on medium/high graphics

[ivory herald]

Perhaps aim for a 6GB 1060 & just hunt for a deal.

[lilac cave]

No way im shopping on Wish if thats what your getting at

XD

[livid idol]

The cheapest new GPU right now is a RX 6400 for $160-180 and you shouldn't use that on anything that has less than PCIe 4.0

Used will be your only option

Besides the 6400 isn't as good as even a 980

[ivory herald]

Of course doesn't have a pcie 4 slot anyways I figure

[gusty fern]

Ebay has some great deals

[livid idol]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/234555117528?epid=11030641702&hash=item369c930fd8:g:HCEAAOSwf8higpEV

[livid idol]

I'm surprised no one has bid on this yet, 590 8GB is a great mining card https://www.ebay.com/itm/394072447439?hash=item5bc08c59cf:g:ZV8AAOSwASJifYUj

[heady turtle]

Mining has really gone down tho

[keen nacelle]

If this is accurate https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-preparing-geforce-gtx-1630-graphics-card-its-first-gtx-x30-model

Idek anymore

Why not make a 3030 with the performance of a 1650/s

[frank fox]

prob gonna make a 3030 as well

gotta make them dough

[lilac cave]

I've got a 2007 Dell Precision Workstation

[magic wing]

no pcie 4

[lilac cave]

No

[lilac cave]

I think I have PCI 3

[velvet grail]

Why not

[lilac cave]

Cause my motherboard is from 2007

It's a little older

But

[velvet grail]

I just sent the picture for fun

2050ti
🤨

[lilac cave]

Wait, we were talking about the picture?

LOL

Well then

I ain't buying crap from Wish cause all they sell is actuall crap

[velvet grail]

Yeah, but, I mean,
2050ti
Sounds like power and of course NOT A SCAM

Power for your pc

2050ti>3090ti

[lilac cave]

I've never heard of a 2050ti

Sounds like a scam

[velvet grail]

Definitely NOT A SCAM 😎

also looks kinda cheap

[lilac cave]

Anything from Wish is a scam

[velvet grail]

I confirm

You wait 4months for your non-package to not-arrive

[lilac cave]

Looks like a dude threw some plastic and a random circuit board together.

[lilac cave]

More like the package will be busted up and the card itself will be beat to a pulp

[keen nacelle]

it was a model released in parts of Asia i believe

[velvet grail]

🤨 mmmh I don't think so, it's just a scam, Nvidia never announced a 2050ti

[fallow epoch]

I need help deciding if I should get a 3080 fe or a 3070ti fe

[keen nacelle]

3070 ti isnt worth it, go either 3070, 6750xt, 6800xt, or 3080

[livid idol]

If you can get a 3080 FE do it, those things are unicorns

[keen nacelle]

3070 ti consumes more power than 3070 for 3% better performance

[livid idol]

IF you get it from best buy

[fallow epoch]

Yeah

[keen nacelle]

only worth it if same price or cheaper than 3070

are you making a whole new build?

[fallow epoch]

I’ve been trying to get a 3080 from Best Buy for months now

[fallow epoch]

I just need a new gpu

[keen nacelle]

ah alr

you bought the rest already?

[fallow epoch]

Yeah

[livid idol]

They don't make very many of those any more, they cut production in September

[fallow epoch]

I have a 12 gen i9 and everything

11th

[keen nacelle]

11900k?

oof

[livid idol]

Sadly 12600k kills that in gaming

[fallow epoch]

Ii was going to get a amd cpu but found a good deal

[keen nacelle]

do you have a build list of the parts you bought?

[fallow epoch]

Do you know why they stoped?

[keen nacelle]

40 seires is coming out soon

[fallow epoch]

I might

[keen nacelle]

could you get it, if you dont mind? id like to take a look

[fallow epoch]

Yeah

[livid idol]

The 3080 FE is FHR, it doesn't have the mining limiter. They started making mining cards instead so it appeared they were anti-miner. The real root reason is money, as it always is.

[fallow epoch]

I’m debating waiting for 40 series to come out to get a gpu

[livid idol]

Just wait imo, unless you can get something below msrp from EVGA b-stock or something

[keen nacelle]

this isnt a bad idea imo, when i had my 6800xt it nearly beat the best 3080 on timespy with light ocing https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vKZ9TW/xfx-radeon-rx-6800-xt-16-gb-speedster-merc-319-core-video-card-rx-68xtalfd9

though waiting would def be a good idea as well, if youre not too impatient

especially if you have an igpu and youre not stuck with a non functioning build till you get a gpu

[livid idol]

Yeah if you're just gaming AMD is a good option too

[keen nacelle]

wait actually

one sec

[fallow epoch]

Found it

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CCLjnt

[keen nacelle]

i think it did beat the best 3080

fell behind 3080 ti

[keen nacelle]

how much did you pay for the 11900k?

[fallow epoch]

I don’t remember

[keen nacelle]

not exactly sure id run an 11900 on that mobo, but as long as the case you have has decent airflow it should be too too bad

[keen nacelle]

was it over 275?

[fallow epoch]

I think I got something like 70 off

Not sure

[keen nacelle]

is it possible to return it still by chance?

[fallow epoch]

Probably

[keen nacelle]

12600kf is 260 and beats it

and wont melt a $130 mobos vrms

the case also seems to be meh, especially at that price if its possible to return that too

[fallow epoch]

To be honest I needed a upgrade so bad at the time

I just went for it

[keen nacelle]

if you cant return it its fine

theres worse to buy

you couldve spent $300 on a 3600, like ive seen some people do

[fallow epoch]

I’m sure I can

Ouch

[keen nacelle]

the psu is definitely a good unit

last thing you want to buy a bad one of

[fallow epoch]

Yeah

[keen nacelle]

nvme ssd price hurts a bit but again, theres worse

[fallow epoch]

I made sure to get a good spec

[keen nacelle]

all in all it seems to be decent enough

youd be fine with any 30 series gpu, and probably up to a 4080 in next gen

though i can't say what the temps will be like in that case

[fallow epoch]

At the time I got the rig I had a 7th gen i5 with a 1080

So it was a huge improvement

[keen nacelle]

oh, did you buy the cpu before 12th gen launched?

[fallow epoch]

Maybe

[keen nacelle]

oh that makes more sense

its fine then

[fallow epoch]

I’m honestly not sure

[keen nacelle]

if this build was made a while ago, youre fine

[fallow epoch]

I plan on getting a amd cpu next time I upgrade anyway

[keen nacelle]

also, if you already have a 1080 id hold out until you buy

[keen nacelle]

but why

performance is performance

[fallow epoch]

Yeah

I was going to get an ryzen 7

[keen nacelle]

12600k beats 5800x/5700x and is cheaper, 12400 (very slighty) beats 5600 and is cheaper, same with 5900x to 12700f

[fallow epoch]

True

[keen nacelle]

only place amd still partially wins is 5950x to 12900k, where theyre about equal but mobo costs more for the 12900k

[fallow epoch]

But who knows what next gen CPU’s are going to be like

[cerulean rover]

5800x3d wins gaming in some games

[keen nacelle]

true

i forget about it a lot lmao

[cerulean rover]

Next gen Intel should be lga1700, next gen AMD will be am5

[keen nacelle]

i never recc it since i dont see much of a point in upgrading to a dead platform

[fallow epoch]

Fair

[keen nacelle]

12700f $300 and can run on a $130 mobo, so i dont recc 5800x3d to anyone without an am4 mobo that can support it

[fallow epoch]

40 series are supposed to come out this summer right?

[keen nacelle]

as early as july, as rumors say

[fallow epoch]

Dang

[keen nacelle]

theres also the possiblity of a panic sell right before launch

where people will start selling their gpus fast asf before drop

[fallow epoch]

I might be in a different country in July

That sucks

[keen nacelle]

before 30 series drop, 2080 tis were going for like $300 as ive been told

[fallow epoch]

Wow

[keen nacelle]

can always use a pre order site, or order to a friends house or smthn like that

[fallow epoch]

I might have a family member grab it for me

[keen nacelle]

yeah, itd be a good idea

though again, who knows what the market will be like

[fallow epoch]

It’s probably going to be impossible to grab a card

[keen nacelle]

rumors show nvidia having bought tonsss of chips beforehand

[fallow epoch]

Just like the 30 series drop

[keen nacelle]

and theyve been producing them or a good while (again, all rumors)

[livid idol]

That's because Nvidia was saying the 3060 ti would beat it

[keen nacelle]

i knew what you were responding to fal

and to be fair it did come close, but not quite there

what, 10% worse?

[livid idol]

Phone being weird, didn't know if it went through

[keen nacelle]

maybe slightly more in 4k, but who runs 4k on either of those cards lol

[livid idol]

There's definitely another panic sell possibility with Nvidia and AMD promising "double performance", but maybe there won't be because shortages have people spooked

[keen nacelle]

yeah

tech illiterate people do still own pcs though

or people like my old friend, who said 3060 would be better than my 3060 ti

since it had more vram

and that i should sell my 3060 ti before it dropped so i could get the 3060 on launch

[livid idol]

The only thing that vram helped is workstations and mining

[keen nacelle]

yeah

well

3060 ti still gets better efficiency than 3060

[livid idol]

True

Only the 5700XT beats 3060 ti in efficiency iirc

[keen nacelle]

yep

5700xt (supposed to) get 58mh/s at like 95w iirc?

one of sips does, his other doesnt i believe

so it depends

[livid idol]

Pretty much

[keen nacelle]

my 3060 ti gets 61.5mh/s at 120w

[livid idol]

I'm getting 120 at 250W now that the 80 ti is unlocked

[keen nacelle]

nice

my friends 3080 gets 100, but i dont remember the wattage

[keen nacelle]

yo

this is $820 right now https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ggNxFT/msi-geforce-rtx-3080-12gb-lhr-12-gb-ventus-3x-plus-oc-video-card-geforce-rtx-3080-ventus-3x-plus-12g-oc-lhr

similar gaming perf to a 3090, but its a meh model at best

[fallow epoch]

Huh

[keen nacelle]

not enough heat pipes and such, but its pretty cheap

3080 12gb is like 3% slower than 3080 ti, which is like 2% slower than 3090 (in gaming, might be bigger diff in 4k)

[fallow epoch]

Hmm

[keen nacelle]

however, if you plan to mine on it the vram will get hot

most likely too hot to be safe

[fallow epoch]

I don’t plan on mining anyway

[livid idol]

3080 12gb is still mining locked anyway

That and 3050

[keen nacelle]

its about 90% bypassed i believe

it probably gets around what 3080 gets, just higher wattage if i had to guess

def higher than unlocked 3070 ti

[fallow epoch]

40 series cards are supposed to be cheaper right?

[keen nacelle]

If stock is good

4060 I'm guessing will be around 400 and is supposed to have 3080 perf

4070 supposed to be 3090 perf and I'm guessing cost around 550

[normal hawk]

I wouldn't be surprised if they meant "Raytracing" Performance like last time

[fallow epoch]

Wow

That’s some good price to performance

[fossil talon]

I doubt it lol

TSMC/silicon companies are announcing more shortages

[fallow epoch]

Well

I’m saying the msrp should be low

[fossil talon]

So I'm suspecting higher MSRPs

We want it to be low

[fallow epoch]

I’ve seen reports of 400 for some cards

Who knows

[fossil talon]

Yeah we'll see by then

Just really suspecting AMD/Nvidia going for higher profit margins

Since production costs likely went up

[fallow epoch]

Yeah

It’s the worst

[wicked hound]

5k 4030 when?

[hot folio]

3080 12gb is proof that MSRP’s are just going to get a lot higher next gen

[keen nacelle]

eh, i disagree. I think its proof that msrp for this gen was messed up because of the shortage

and tbf weve seen ventus 3x 3080 12gb go on sale for $820 and stay there for a few days

and it just went on sale again

[ivory herald]

Lower than 30 series often were, yes

[keen nacelle]

i think theyll be higher, but not by a ton

[hot folio]

Thing is nVidia and AMD both saw that people are willing to buy them for that price so I wouldn’t be surprised if MSRP’s still would be high

[keen nacelle]

And the amount of flack they'd receive wouldn't be worth it

They also saw people's response to it

[odd siren]

They've been slowly climbing the msrp anyway so it wouldn't surprise me if there's a jump.
I'll be disappointed if specifically the 4090 gets actually close to 2K msrp though

[hot folio]

But they still did it

[keen nacelle]

Not really, 3080 ti was $200 over 2080 ti msrp

[hot folio]

2080ti was $1000?

[keen nacelle]

And 3090 really wasn't for gamers

Yes

[hot folio]

Jeez I could’ve sworn it was 800

[ivory herald]

At Das" Wouldn't bother or surprise me. It's like a gtx 980/1080 being $500ish then a titan being $800+ or w/e. Top 1 or 2 "halo" cards always had nutto price increase. -- 3090 wasn't even an impressive gaming gpu. Barely beat an 80 ti.

[wicked hound]

Nvidia Turing was a bit weird. They had MSRP but also FE MSRP. MSRP was 1k and FE MSRP was 1.2k. Everyone took advantage of FE MSRP and used that as new MSRP

[ivory herald]

Yea remember when FE was higher than aib? What a sham

[odd siren]

Yeah but especially now the 6900XT exists as a halo card and will just always make more sense to me when considering that tier of gaming at the lower price
Production and workstation is different ofc

[keen nacelle]

3090/ti price cannot be justified when 6950xt, 6900xt, 6800xt, 3080 12gb all exist at so much lower prices

[odd siren]

Exactly

But I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia did it anyway

[wicked hound]

It was nice when top end standard gaming cards were $600 - $700. It took until now for a "3080Ti" (AKA 3080 12gb) to reach ~$820, the price it should be after inflation and such.

[ivory herald]

And/or FE (and their) price should've been easier to get. $700 3080 is perfect

[wicked hound]

I was trippin out when majority of people were wishing the 3080Ti MSRP to be 1k at launch day. Like... no.

[ivory herald]

Compared to lower you mean?

[wicked hound]

xx80Ti MSRP was always $600 - $700. Should be max of $850 after inflation and maybe some extra costs

[ivory herald]

Yea but I'm not too surprised considering the decent improvement from 2080 ti performance & it was the work from home boom. Although indeed still nutto pricing for how old stuff is.

[wicked hound]

Technically raster improvement was same as ever, also technically way lower then previous generations (depending if one is looking at perf/watt, 2080Tis with high PLs and such). RT perf and AV1 NVENC decode was the only new stuff, which isnt really worth the extra MSRP increase

But, those good old days are most likely gone now. Sad times

[ivory herald]

True, inflation and everything keeps going. 3070 at $600 isn't too bad for now. If 40 series blows it, gonna just lookout for more 30 series deals even if for sure won't be like a $400ish 2080 ti a couple years ago

[runic crypt]

which 3060 variant is most common rn?

is ti common?

[rustic pulsar]

regular 3060 is more common https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam

[runic crypt]

which is more affordable with or without scalpers?

seems like 1060 is most common among them

[livid idol]

You can get a decent priced 3060 from EVGA usually. Around $360

[rustic pulsar]

keep in mind 3060 ti is a BIG jump up from the regular 3060, so if u can find one for <$500, i would get it (over the 3060)

[ivory herald]

Yep, solid 20-25% depending on game. 60 ti is generally the best value (nvida only of course)

[gloomy shard]

Has anyone heard if AMD Gpu's firmware now works with games like destiny 2? I know the 6000 series was having a ton of issues last year. Thanks!

[runic crypt]

yeah im looking for a 3060 ti between 500-600 usd

[normal hawk]

Yeah, now, when the new cards are about to release.

If they don't lower the cost they won't get sold.

[keen nacelle]

yep

[normal hawk]

So looking at 3000 series prices now matters very little if there's still a shortage.

They can sell what they have and have higher prices next gen prices, or what they currently have is just wasted product.

[rustic pulsar]

check EVGA's website every so often they've been having okay-good deals recently

[normal hawk]

For me, I'm more watching the handheld markets than anything. Ayaneo mini (OLED, 5000u Apu) got priced at 650$ in China. Which honestly ain't bad for a full windows handheld. Will have slightly worse than steam deck performance though due to Vega graphics.

But the OLED screen 🤤

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Fr8bt6/gigabyte-radeon-rx-6650-xt-8-gb-eagle-video-card-gv-r665xteagle-8gd also a thing

[runic crypt]

that's great

i just have to wait for my munny to arrive for finaid lol

that pny one is a gamestonks link

thanks for the links and zeldas

[lilac cave]

Is the GTX 980 a decent budget graphics card?

[livid idol]

Good enough for modern 1080p

But keep in mind Nvidia will probably be dropping driver support within the next year or 2, that's several generations old at this point

[vital oriole]

^

[ivory herald]

600/700 series still have semi recent drivers too.

[livid idol]

No... they don't have game updated drivers. Only critical security fixes.

They dropped those from the game ready drivers like 2 years ago I think

[runic crypt]

thank you so much for the 3060 ti link

as much as i dont like gamestonks they were one of the few options

but i finally managed to score a good gpu

[edgy yacht]

what are the odds gpu prices will drop a good amount by july?
buddy wants to buy my 3060ti when he builds in a couple month and i'm wanting to get a 3070ti or 3080 12gb or 3080ti.

this is a couple months from now and they are sort of dropping steadily so wanna hear your thoughts? should i keep and use it for its life or sell it for a couple hundred what i bought it for to him? i'm not sure I even want to try and get a 40 series card as then the 30 series will be actually available and down in price (hopefully), unless the 40 series are the better bang for the buck per performance.

thoughts?

[vital oriole]

it's already dropped quite a bit

i'd also suggest getting radeon gpus tbh

like 6700xt and 6800xt

or even 6950xt if possible

3080ti rn costs similarly, if not more to 6950xt

and 6950xt performs better

that is if you don't care about rt perf

radeon cards are at their msrp rn

mostly

[edgy yacht]

i completely should have mentioned im in canada and our market for gpu's is disgusting

some people i have talked to in the states, their gpu prices are almost at msrp again

[vital oriole]

i doubt it's that bad in canada anymore

radeon cards has better chance to be at msrp

[edgy yacht]

it is still trust me

ill link canada for 3060 ti

for amazon

hold on

https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=3060+ti&crid=JCI7J0Z0O21&sprefix=3060+ti%2Caps%2C205&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

[magic wing]

looks aight

[edgy yacht]

i know amazon probably isn't the best place to go for a gpu, you got canada computers, memory express, newegg - but all of them are close to the same prices

[magic wing]

around 500-550 USD

[vital oriole]

i can see 6950xt for about 1.4k cad

around 1.2k i think

[edgy yacht]

sounds about right

[vital oriole]

in usd

[magic wing]

yeah they about at us pricing

[vital oriole]

ye

[magic wing]

cad is just a weaker currency lol

[vital oriole]

just different currency

[magic wing]

than usd

[edgy yacht]

gpu prices ever gonna go back down to "msrp" or are they gonna stay at higher prices because thats what the last couple years have been like

[magic wing]

OH kuro wanna see 3060ti here?

[vital oriole]

sure

[edgy yacht]

wouldnt make sense for them to go back down to actual msrp prices if people are used to buying expensive

and keep buying

[vital oriole]

well, it's damn near msrp rn lol

at least for stuff from radeon

nvidia is still not that great on that situation

[magic wing]

https://www.amazon.in/s?k=3060ti&crid=2NC4B8DPP95NS&sprefix=3060ti%2Caps%2C189&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

[vital oriole]

due to popularity

and the image that comes with nvidia brand

[edgy yacht]

i would go to amd, honest to god i would

but i don't understand the whole gsync and freesync thing

i have a gsync monitor

but going amd that wouldn't work? no?

[magic wing]

works with freesync too

freesync monitors work with gsync too

[vital oriole]

yikes

840 bucks for a 3060ti

[magic wing]

yep

cheapest one too

[vital oriole]

lol damn

that gets me a 3070 here

sometimes

[edgy yacht]

for 1440p

what amd would y'all suggest

gpu wise

6800?

[vital oriole]

amd would still work

[magic wing]

im so glad im getting a 6750XT for 470 USD shipped

[vital oriole]

most "gsync" monitors uses normal adaptive sync

[magic wing]

first week of nex monf

[vital oriole]

which is also what freesync uses

wew, 470 bucks

noice

[edgy yacht]

6750 xt?

how are those looking?

[vital oriole]

also i'd say 6800xt

6700xt ain't much of a jump from 3060ti

[edgy yacht]

fair enough

6850?

xt

[vital oriole]

ye

[edgy yacht]

hows that looking? good?

[vital oriole]

get the refresh

[edgy yacht]

lemme see what they're worth

[vital oriole]

amd is gonna be even better sometime soon

even rn they have preview driver that improves perf in games

it's probably unstable tho

i would suggest you wait until everything is ready, hopping on radeon ship rn is a good time

[edgy yacht]

1.2k ballpark for a 6800xt

[vital oriole]

in cad?

[edgy yacht]

come july time, you don't think they'll move though?

2 months ish

[vital oriole]

i'd just.. save up for 6950xt

it's too close

[edgy yacht]

fair

[magic wing]

Much better in a month or 2

ye

[magic wing]

public preview is pretty stable tbh

[vital oriole]

ah that's good

[magic wing]

all the public drivers go through a lotta testing before being made public

[livid idol]

Maybe 2-3% across the board, there's a few outliers that get double digits

[magic wing]

totally didnt edit this message dont look in mod logs 👀

[livid idol]

Don't you tell me what to do 😜

[magic wing]

but yeah fr amd doing crazy tings with drivers rn

[vital oriole]

makes me want a 6600m laptop

but it do be same price as 3070 laptop

[velvet grail]

@livid idol

Can it work for Nvidia Tesla M40? Without bottleneck, (thunderbolt 3.0)

[livid idol]

It should work ok

[runic crypt]

gamestonk cancelled my order

[hearty widget]

I need a suggestion for a budget graphics card under 200

[livid idol]

Might be able to get a 1070 for that, check r/hardwareswap

[rustic pulsar]

^

eBay also has 1070 for around 200

[livid idol]

$200 shipped yep https://www.ebay.com/itm/313986765447

I saw some $170 shipped on hardwareswap

[rustic pulsar]

If ur lucky u could get a 1070 ti

[hearty widget]

is this good? Yeston Radeon RX550 4GB GDDR5 1183MHz 512processors PCIExpress 3.0 DirectX12 Single Slot 4*HDMI compatible graphics card of Desktop

[livid idol]

For how much?

Because the RX 550 is comparable to the GT 1030

[livid idol]

@fallen notch No buying or selling on this server

You can DM tho

[fallen notch]

nah, he can get better than mine for nearer his budget

[hearty widget]

150

[livid idol]

No, that's worth maybe $75 being generous

[hearty widget]

o

um

can u suggest me one on amazon?

less than 200 ofc

since my dad wants to like return it if it is roken

*broken

[hearty widget]

on what website

[livid idol]

Any reasonably priced website, that's a low end 5 year old card

[hearty widget]

o

bruh

[livid idol]

If you're looking at amazon only your only option is new if you want the ability to return it. There's currently no new GPUs under $200.

[rustic pulsar]

1060?

[livid idol]

Used ones are only going to be from third party sellers and at that point you just buy from ebay

[hearty widget]

how about this https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-QICK210-Graphics-RX-65XT4DBDQ/dp/B09Q98KRTG?crid=NX98NUCYEA0S&keywords=Radeon+RX+6500+XT&qid=1645205810&sprefix=radeon+rx+6500+xt,aps,395&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=chipstore-20&linkId=a46edbdb98f6dc1f37ffdc4cb3fa5c40&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

[ivory herald]

10 series is from 2016ish

[hearty widget]

idk

thats like hitting the budget right there

[rustic pulsar]

$320 for a 1060 3GB wtf!!!

[livid idol]

Do you have a CPU capable of PCIe 4.0?

[rustic pulsar]

i mean it's white but still

[hearty widget]

um ryzen 5 5600

[rustic pulsar]

how's the 1050 ti, amazon has one for 200

[livid idol]

Good, motherboard chipset? B550 or X570?

[hearty widget]

b550

[livid idol]

Ok, the 6500 XT isn't a horrible option for you then since you can use 4.0

[hearty widget]

ok thx

how old is the 1050 ti

[livid idol]

5 and a half years

[hearty widget]

o wow

thats old

but i had an 11 year old one 😂

[ivory herald]

Bit high tbh because we've seen 1070 for $200ish now

[rustic pulsar]

yeah but not on amazon

[dreamy dragon]

Mr.Woof#3601 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ivory herald]

Used is used

[rustic pulsar]

to be fair amazon has poopy gpu prices

[livid idol]

Indeed, they always have these last 2 years

[rustic pulsar]

u good buying from newegg?

[hearty widget]

idk

[livid idol]

Newegg has the same return policies as amazon mostly, just slower shipping

[hearty widget]

o ok

can u run a pc without a graphics card

without a built in one

in cpu

[rustic pulsar]

i've never heard of CORN but i cant imagine it's that bad https://www.newegg.com/p/1FT-0040-00102?Item=9SIA4REFGF0563&Description=1060&cm_re=1060-_-9SIA4REFGF0563-_-Product

[rustic pulsar]

depends on if the cpu has integrated graphics

[livid idol]

No, in order to pass power on testing it needs either a dedicated or integrated GPU

[fading glacier]

yeah it can run, but you will have no video on your monitor

[hearty widget]

😂

[livid idol]

It'll "run" as in the fans turn on but it literally won't let you do anything

Never mind the lack of video

[fading glacier]

jk, as fal'cie said, you cant pass the initial start up

[hearty widget]

lol

[odd siren]

I would save an extra 100 and spend 300 on an RX6600 imo

[rustic pulsar]

if u can find a good price yeah get a 6600

[fading glacier]

saving is a never-ending thing... you can save another 100 and get a 6600xt or a 6700

[hearty widget]

lol

got u

[hearty widget]

my dad said i could get this one https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-QICK210-Graphics-RX-65XT4DBDQ/dp/B09Q98KRTG?crid=NX98NUCYEA0S&keywords=Radeon+RX+6500+XT&qid=1645205810&sprefix=radeon+rx+6500+xt,aps,395&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=chipstore-20&linkId=a46edbdb98f6dc1f37ffdc4cb3fa5c40&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

hits the price point nicely

[livid idol]

Just keep in mind that it'll be a little bit better than the 1060 6gb from 2016

Somewhere between that and the 1660 refresh from 2019

[clever geyser]

Qq

Gpu 3060ti and I’m running a Ryzen 9 5900x which of these monitors or if any suggestions would recommend for 3d rendering in blender and ue, unity, game development, and just overall animations

LG 27GP850-B or Odyssey G5

[vital oriole]

don't get those

just get m27q or g27q

[livid idol]

M27Q isn't ideal for renders and developing tbh, it's just the best for the price for gamers

[vital oriole]

hmn, true

[rustic pulsar]

yeah, blacks are meh

[royal kernel]

hey, my gpu isnt outputting

i got it used and the computer knows its there but its not outputting

[livid idol]

Tried other cables and ports?

[royal kernel]

the fans are spinning

[royal kernel]

yes

[livid idol]

Ok, try taking it out and putting it back in including the power cables

And try another PCIe slot if that doesn't work

[royal kernel]

Yes

Thing is it’s a pcie card with no extra power

it also might be a fake card but it should still output

like it gets all its power from the slot

[livid idol]

Gotcha. And you tried another slot?

[royal kernel]

no other slots to try

they don’t fit

ig i should send a pic lol

[livid idol]

Bottom one doesn't fit?

[royal kernel]

yeah

[livid idol]

Cleared cmos?

[royal kernel]

?

do i just take the battery out?

does that clear it?

[livid idol]

Take out that battery with it unplugged, hold power button 10 sec, wait 5 minutes, put it all back

[royal kernel]

ok

hold power button with it still unplugged?

[livid idol]

yes

[vapid glade]

alright

[royal kernel]

ok cya in 5 minutes then lol

[vapid glade]

Gigabyte Windforce GTX750ti, 2GB, dual fan model

fans stopped running, no output

is it dead ? or can i fix it

[livid idol]

If it was working before that sounds pretty dead, especially with how old it is

[vapid glade]

damn it

I will attempt to fix this

I can't afford another one yet

must be a PCB thing

[livid idol]

If you put it into another PC and it still doesn't show any sign of life you can do the oven trick to get a little more life out of it. Just don't use an oven you plan to ever use for food again.

[royal kernel]

update: gpu still doesn’t work

might just be a dud card

which is weird because prev owner said it worked

[livid idol]

Yeah sounds like bad luck.
What were you trying to put in that old dell anyway?

[royal kernel]

a “gtx 1050ti” 4g

is what was advertised

i’ll send a pic

[livid idol]

oof

[royal kernel]

i’m just confused because the fans are spinning and everything else seems to be working fine other than the fact that it doesn’t work

even if it is a fake it’d probably run better than my integrated graphics 💀

[livid idol]

I'm pretty sure I've seen that exact one as a fake card example before

Yep they used that exact shroud on fake 960s

[livid idol]

What output ports does it have? That can help narrow down what it actually is

[royal kernel]

vga, dvi, hdmi

1 of each

[livid idol]

I think that's a GTX 650

Shroud swapped and bios hacked https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-gtx-650.b1360

[livid idol]

What iGPU did you have? Because the UHD 730 beats this

[royal kernel]

apparently not lol

[livid idol]

Yeah probably not lol

But with how old that gpu is I'd be surprised if it worked at all

Literally 10 years old

[cosmic bluff]

I had that exact card work but your resolution needs to be set to really low or you won't even make it to post screen

[open mantle]

I'm in need of some help trying to see if this gpu is compatible with my other parts

[livid idol]

Yes it'll work

[lilac cave]

XD

My friend had been using integrated graphics for a year and kept complaining that his graphics were soooo bad in fortnite. I told him to look in task manager and switch to his gpu.

He had no freaking idea for a year he had a freaking GTX 1060 TI 6GB

Question

How much faster is a gpu when it comes overclocked from the factory?

[livid idol]

It depends on the model

Some of them are 1% overclocked just to say they are, others are 5-6%

[lilac cave]

GT 1030

OC edition

[livid idol]

The one with or without power plug?

[lilac cave]

Withoit

[ivory herald]

?

[lilac cave]

Just plugs into pcie

[livid idol]

Is it the Asus one?

[lilac cave]

Yep

Ill send a screen shot

[livid idol]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-phoenix-gt-1030-oc.b4637

3%

[lilac cave]

Oof

Well

At least it has the Tech Tweak II thing

[livid idol]

That's just regular overclocking though

And I'd recommend MSI afterburner over that program

[lilac cave]

Will any Nvidia card work with that or does it have to be MSI

[livid idol]

Any GPU

[lilac cave]

Sweet

[livid idol]

With the exception of integrated graphics of course, that has to be done in bios

[lilac cave]

XD

Does the card need more than 2gb of vram to be able to record my game while playing? (OBS Studio)

[livid idol]

No, but keep in mind the GT models don't have the nvenc encoder so it'll be slow

Nvenc is GTX/RTX only

[lilac cave]

I was trying to find a decent gaming card under $170.

[livid idol]

You can find a 1060 6gb pretty easily at that price if you're in the US

[lilac cave]

Are any of the GTXs' better than the GT 1030 OC?

[lilac cave]

Yep

Wait

Did you say 6 gb?

WTC

Under $170!?

Sounds like a rip off card from Wish

[livid idol]

Nope, real cards from ebay or reddit

[cosmic bluff]

[magic wing]

all of them

[livid idol]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/394080414343

[magic wing]

gt 1030 is pretty much just a display card at this point imo, since theres igpus that outperform it

[livid idol]

You can find local offers on r/hardwareswap for $150 right now

[cosmic bluff]

I just seen a dual sata to pcie power cable

[livid idol]

Yeah those are more common than they should be

[magic wing]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-24177057

[livid idol]

If it's 6 pin probably fine, 8 pin is pushing it. Better hope you have good cables/airflow.

[magic wing]

buying 3 to power a 3090 hof

[livid idol]

Or 4 to power kingpin 3090 ti

[magic wing]

yes

great idea

who needs pcie cables

[lilac cave]

Lol

[livid idol]

You need to run it on an oem workstation psu from 2010 for full effect

[magic wing]

gigabyte pgm is the best i have

hope itll be ok

[livid idol]

How many sata connectors does it have

[magic wing]

copious amounts

im guessing

[livid idol]

Exactly enough, 8

[lilac cave]

Ok, i looked at User Benchmark and the GTX 950, 960, and 970 all beat the GT 1030, by at least 150%

[livid idol]

!ubm

[dreamy dragon]

`UserBenchmark is NOT a reliable source of information and has been blanket banned in many hardware communities such as r/hardware and r/intel for what started as an anti-AMD bias but has spiraled into delusion.

In fact, they tried so hard to skew results in favor of Intel's midrange that they even cannibalized Intel's own high end. For example, according to UserBenchmark, the i3-9350K is rated higher than the i9-10980XE.

For a similarly convenient quick-and-dirty hardware comparison website, we recommend using PassMark instead of UserBenchmark.

[livid idol]

While UBM pushes questionable testing and reporting practices, yes plenty of the 900 cards beat the 1030 by a lot

[lilac cave]

I didnt download it MEE6. I ise it on the web browser

[magic wing]

OK are u ready for the bot to warn me for copy pating wall of text?

The RX 6900-XT assumes the flagship position in AMD’s latest RX 6000 series of GPUs which deliver a huge generational jump in performance. The $1,000 USD 6900-XT offers a small improvement (11% more compute units) over the already launched $650 USD RX 6800-XT. AMD have upgraded the single fan cooler to a more efficient triple fan solution, perhaps indicating a shift in focus from benchmark busting headlines to user experience. Following the widespread issues that users faced with the 5000 and Vega series, we are cautiously optimistic that AMD have taken steps to ensure driver and hardware stability. Given the value for money now offered by both Nvidia and AMD, with the 3070 and 6800-XT, it is difficult to recommend any thousand dollar graphics cards to most gamers. 16GB of VRAM is a key feature of the 6900-XT. At higher resolutions and detail settings, performance can bottleneck without sufficient GPU memory. AMD's marketers often cherry pick obscure games with high res/settings, the details of which are rarely disclosed, then compare the results with cards that have less memory. In that scenario, the cards with less memory look weaker than they would at 1080p. The 1080p results are sometimes omitted, or worse, partially omitted and frame drops are conveniently ignored. Most users will see little benefit in gaming at high resolutions. Without drastic price cuts (MSRP $1000 USD) and miraculous marketing via countless promo videos and sponsored reviews, the 6900 XT will struggle to compete, partly because it lacks RTX+DLSS which is required for the best gaming experience in class leading titles such as Cyberpunk 2077. Users should be wary of AMD’s army of social media accounts, they aim to dupe shoppers any way they can.

huh

[livid idol]

But keep in mind the 900 series is next on the chopping block for the nvidia drivers

[magic wing]

didnt warn

[magic wing]

this is what ubm says about 6900xt

[livid idol]

They also claim the 5800X3D to be far slower than it is and complaining about its workstation performance. Like, duh the 5950X will beat it in Blender.

[lilac cave]

Would you say the 950 will be good enough to at least play fortnite or Totally acurate battlegrounds on medium graphics?

[magic wing]

a card that was about half the price of a 3090 and just as fast at the time of writing

[magic wing]

maybe not medium
