Audio stuff is fun to buy

the audiophiles are making me indecisive

Nah you need to listen to all the audiophile buzzwords.

i don't mind the weight, but the lack of cable is good

And even then for mouse, can be worth if you're willing to fork out

devout forum
#

Huh

#

I'm wondering

#

Sapphire Toxic 6900 XT for 325k HUF
Or Asrock Phantom Gaming 7900 XT for 355k HUF

elfin mural
#

any 7900 gre?

mortal grail
#

asrock pg

#

surely there's a cheaper toxic

#

sorry 6900xt

wind quail
#

Cheaper than toxic* maybe what you meant

devout forum
#

Toxic is the only 6900 XT that's not 300 km of travel from me

devout forum
# elfin mural any 7900 gre?

there's an XFX OEM one available, but I'm fairly sure it's slower than a 7800 XT which can be had for less than the GRE

elfin mural
#

gre isn't slower though

devout forum
elfin mural
#

ye

devout forum
#

Well it costs more than a 7800 XT

#

while seemingly doing about the same perf

#

Like

#

10% more money for ~1-2% more perf

elfin mural
#

hm right

#

id definitely consider 7900xt

devout forum
#

Cheapest one is 355k

elfin mural
#

but 6900xt is also very similar

#

and cheaper

mortal grail
#

it's definitely not far off 7800xt tho

devout forum
#

okay so
Asrock Challenger 7800 XT: 229k
XFX 7900 GRE OEM: 284k
Sapphire 6900 XT TOXIC Limited Edition (SKU 11308-08-20G if there is any difference): 324k
Asrock Phantom Gaming 7900 XT: 356k

elfin mural
#

imo 6900xt

devout forum
#

I'm back and forth between 7800 XT and 6900 XT

elfin mural
#

7800xt is quite a bit slower

#

so nah

devout forum
#

Fair enough

#

the thing is that the Toxic eats a whole lot of power

#

But performs about as well as a 3090 so

#

yeah

#

HBU measured something like 380 watts for the GPU with the turbo

elfin mural
#

it's cuz it's basically the best aib there is for the card

#

worth it if your psu can take it

#

which i think it definitely will

devout forum
#

I'd think a 750 can take that

#

a good 750 (like A tier one)

elfin mural
#

easily with 7600x

devout forum
#

650 I don't think would be enough tho

elfin mural
#

i would say it's doable

devout forum
#

EVGA 650 GQ specifically

elfin mural
#

but pushing it

devout forum
#

IIRC that's B tier (?)

#

issue is PCIE connector number

elfin mural
#

b yeah

devout forum
#

cuz it has 2 wires with pigtail 6+2 on each

elfin mural
#

probably c but

#

still ok

devout forum
#

and I'm not sure I'd be super comfortable to do that to a 300+ watt GPU

devout forum
elfin mural
#

easy

#

it's not xtx fast but that's doable

devout forum
#

so 4k monitor instead of 1440p

#

besides it can still do FSR

elfin mural
#

i would still do 1440p but that's my opinion

devout forum
#

hey that's fair

#

leaves upgrade options for later

elfin mural
#

lg oled

devout forum
#

or the new 4k 360 Hz QD-OLEDs

elfin mural
#

i rather get lg

#

simply due to longevity

devout forum
#

we'll just have to see later

#

Also

#

@elfin mural at 1440p DSC isn't needed for 1440p 120hz right?

elfin mural
#

nope

devout forum
#

HBR3 does 4k 120 after all

#

so I'd reckon even 170 would be perfectly fine with 1.4a

#

Should be able to do 240 at 1440p

elfin mural
#

ya

devout forum
#

Huh

#

Foxy recommended the 6900 XT

#

Interesting

mortal grail
#

not for nearly half as much again

In what way?

mortal grail
#

if it's anything like other aios last gen

#

corrosion or just plain pump failure

#

I wasn't privy to this, that said most of the people I knew with toxic cards either sold ages ago or disappeared of the face of discord

The toxic card owners that got rid of it lived

what If I bent the pins by applying too much pressure

rancid juniper

That's all on you if you don't read the manual

But aside from that it's harder to break your pc

Sort of

I'm.not even kidding the first day that I bought the cpu I saw a dream of me breaking the pins

I remember trying to install my 13600k for the first time (never installed an Intel CPU before) and it wasn't aligned properly

Thought I broke it but it was fine

idk where stuff goes

what's afpp

wary fjord
#

hmm hogwart is on switch now.. i wonder hows the graphics downgrade on it. or is it fine

rancid juniper
#

AMD however, you shouldn't drop the CPU or the pins would break or be bent, and for removing the cooler it may be stuck on top of the cpu

it's literally 85% of 4070ti

THIS IS WHERE THE 4070 SHOULD'VE BEEN

3080 TI TERRITORY

elfin mural

exactly

watch hay come in and say it should've performed like 4080

rancid juniper

NOVIDEO

mortal grail

if it comes on sale this will be the new midrange choice

#

600 is a bit short for the perf it gave us

elfin mural

this is the nvidia i will push to people on sale

mortal grail
#

7800xt still better at 500

elfin mural
#

i wonder about 4070 ti super

mortal grail
#

Ti super will be more like 7900xt

elfin mural

it's 4070ti "true" edition i guess

rancid juniper
devout forum
#

okay so should I expect to see the 4070 Super for roughly the same as the OG 4070?

elfin mural
#

didn't nvidia put 4070ti and 4070 eol

rancid juniper
#

Nah not 800, $850

#

elfin mural
#

not roughly, same price

mortal grail
elfin mural
#

ah

mortal grail
#

not sure about 4070

rancid juniper
#

Wow that was kinda quick imo

elfin mural
#

nvidia just reacted to radeon

#

it is what it is

mortal grail
#

honestly the 4070 is about as forgettable as the 1650

devout forum
elfin mural
#

true

#

i would doubt that

devout forum
#

because retailers here can get away with it

elfin mural
#

once the existing 4070ti and 4080 goes oos

#

that's where price will drop

#

at least for your case to a better price

devout forum
#

Except they never drop

#

If retailers here set a price

#

That price stays to the very last card

elfin mural
#

aw shucks

devout forum
#

I told you it's awful here

#

if prices move at all they move upwards

#

Consistently so

elfin mural
#

$400 for 4070 super like some people thinks it should cost are a bit crazy tbf

#

$500 is more realistic

#

that is the most i would be asking from nvidia

now i wouldn't be upset if it was really 400 new one day

Kinda sucks that you can’t fill AIOs back up instead of throwing them away.

devout forum
elfin mural
#

you can absolutely refill aios

#

how else would they get filled at all

#

some are just harder than others

#

but it's very much possible

devout forum
#

We have a ~150 USD average upcharge on basically any GPU
About 75 USD on CPUs, and often 15% on mobos

elfin mural
#

eef

#

fair enough

devout forum
#

it's legitimately awful

#

so me saying "OMG this is such a good deal" actually means "Holy frick we actually only have to pay MSRP for it"

cedar compass
#

Imagine living in EU kekw

elfin mural
#

also i would say aios, the good ones either eventually die before a refill is needed or they get outdated

devout forum
#

WDYM get outdated?

#

If it works, it's used in this household :3

elfin mural
#

newer designs that outperform the old comes out

#

better value, etc

devout forum
#

I mean fair but if I already have it and it works fine why replace it?

elfin mural
#

if you already have it, don't replace it lol

#

just don't go out of your way to buy old aios

devout forum
#

IMO best value is what you don't have to pay for yea

#

And yeah that's fair enough

#

tho it depends on what actually makes it over here

#

often the good stuff you guys in NA get never actually arrive here

#

like there is no place at all to get a Vetroo V5

#

even though it's a pretty good low-cost cooler supposedly

elfin mural
#

thermalright is basically non existent for thailand too

#

it's a shame

devout forum

Also
Hold on US MSRP is not including tax right?

elfin mural
#

at least there's next best thing

#

yeah no

#

no taxes

devout forum
#

Oh

elfin mural
#

states with taxes get extra

devout forum
#

Well taxes are built into the price for us

elfin mural
#

otherwise nah

#

the us pricing structure is like that

devout forum
#

600 USD MSRP
We pay 750 for it

elfin mural
#

product price, state taxes

devout forum
#

Isn't that like
Exactly 30%?

elfin mural
#

and that's how much you're gonna end up paying

#

here it's like 7%

#

anything above is markups

devout forum
#

we have like 27% VAT

#

I suppose that explains the significantly higher prices?

elfin mural
#

yeah

#

27% is a ton of vat

#

sounds about right

#

actually a little bit cheaper before vat added

devout forum
#

Eh

#

I guess that's not so bad

elfin mural
#

cuz 600+27% is 762

#

sad but i think it's got a small discount already

#

better than nothing

devout forum
#

Which is the absolute cheapest available here

elfin mural
#

ah the chinese aibs

#

they tend to be the cheapest option

#

or really the ones to get

devout forum
#

738 USD

elfin mural

40 series are all decent enough

mortal grail
#

@elfin mural 4070 is not discontinued

elfin mural
#

ok

#

i hope 4070 better drop price then

devout forum
#

but if the 4070 Super is available for about 230k HUF then that'd be decent competition

#

which it probably won't

elfin mural
#

instant nope sadly

mortal grail
devout forum
#

I'm expecting it to be about 260k starting price here
Which would make it about 8% more expensive for 2% more perf

elfin mural
#

yeah

devout forum
elfin mural
#

it's definitely gonna land about that

devout forum
#

so

#

I'm expecting retailers to put some markup on it so that they can say "But the 4070 is cheaper, go buy that first"

elfin mural
#

lol

devout forum
#

or maybe they just price the Super cards quite a bit higher so old stock clears then ease off with promos

elfin mural
#

that'd be even more sad

devout forum
#

I'm fully expecting it to happen

elfin mural
#

i can see that being the case

devout forum
#

But I'll let y'all know if they're scummy enough to do that

elfin mural
#

"buy 4070, quick, before they're gone"

devout forum
#

I expect them to be

elfin mural
#

but i don't see them doing price drops

#

it's markup for sure

#

then stay there

#

cuz nvidia hasn't eol'd 4070 yet

devout forum
#

I mean "promo" by selling it for as much as it should've been

#

once 4070 stocks clear

devout forum
#

4080s sold out on launch here

elfin mural
#

oof

devout forum
#

People just bought them up for some reason

elfin mural
#

problem was intentionally limited stock

devout forum

and I was just sitting here headdesking like "WHYYYYYYYYYYY"

elfin mural

it went oos so quickly

devout forum

Oh no you misunderstood

It went oos on launch day

elfin mural

yeah

#

us had that happen too

devout forum

and haven't really gotten back to stock ever since

elfin mural
#

oos day one

#

but it recovered unlike your market

devout forum
#

not like there that cards were sitting on the shelves

elfin mural
#

artificial scarcity, few examples bought just to make people hurry

devout forum
#

IDK anymore, I was just disappointed watching it happen

velvet summit

Tbf, usually they only put one or 2 on display so people are less likely to steal it

and some people still say here "It's a 4k card that doesn't cost an arm and a leg"

#

Has anyone bought an AIO water cooler and it failed easily? Custom loops might be better but strangely I have a feeling water cooling could be more efficient than air cooling to reduce chance of the pc overheating

velvet summit
#

But still have relatively easy access (and people can see that they do have cards)

shut crystal
#

Due to higher thermal capacity

elfin mural
#

good ones don't fail easily

devout forum

But in 99% of cases air >>>>>> water

velvet summit
#

Honestly imo just get an air cooler rather than an aio

elfin mural
#

arctic liquid freezer, ek aio, lian li, deepcool, thermalright

#

but an air cooler is always reliable

devout forum
#

Yeah Liquid Freezer II is pretty good
But it costs more and has more failure points

elfin mural
#

a fan breaks, you just buy another one

velvet summit
#

There are some instances where an aio does make more sense but the less room for failure, the better

devout forum
#

unless you do heavy OC just get a dual tower cooler and you'll be fine

elfin mural

liquid freezer ii has strong warranty

if you're worried maybe you should get that one

You can get a 50 dollar 360 aio tho so is it really overkill pepehmmm

take it back out

but if there really was a short, why would it be able to run normally after i use the psu tester?

50 dollar for which?

Yea you definitely don’t need one for a lower end cpu

It’s only helpful for like the i7s and up
