[opaque sedge]

Remember microcenter selling a refurb 3090 for 7 hundies once

[frigid stag]

I should’ve got a 2nd one for sli

[opaque sedge]

Sli sounds

Sly

[frigid stag]

It’s not even sli, it’s nvlink on these

But it’s kinda similar interface

[velvet summit]

ish

[fresh timber]

ngl id get a 2080ti if i got ot for like $200 but i dont need it

why do i want one? they look cool and collection, and its a upgrade to gpu i my server kek

[frigid stag]

Yh some of them look really cool

[mortal grail]

The end of the strix era

[dense locust]

gpu prices are hell

[fresh timber]

frrrr

[dense locust]

4090's are going for 5090 prices

[fresh timber]

i kinda wanna upgrade my server to am5 one of these days

like a 7700x

but that ends up being faster than gaming pc in gaming, cant let that happen

[dense locust]

how much is a 7700x these days

i should upgrade my pc because my poor 5080 is being held back by my cpu and motherboard

[fresh timber]

im rocking ddr4 13600kf and 7700xt

i wanna get new gpu first

im saving for like 7900xtx/xt level perforamnce

[dense locust]

pcie gen 3 mb, ddr4 3200, 2700x, rtx 5080
one of these is not like the other

[fresh timber]

i do have a 5500 in the mail to upgrade my server to

server has a poo motherboard that only accepts 32gb ram, 64gb would be a gamble

might one day end up getitng 64gb and seeing if it reconises it, if not it goes in gaming pc kek

[dense locust]

"why are you running a 2700x with a 5080" me who saved up for a few months to buy a 5080

[fresh timber]

get a 5800x3d kek

unless poo motherboard

lmfao

[mortal grail]

Basically never worth it

[fresh timber]

idk if i wanna go 5700x3d in my server or just go for am5 7700x or something

[mortal grail]

You're gonna get 3090 numbers at anything less than 4K dude LOL

[dense locust]

i would if i had pcie gen 4

[fresh timber]

damn

im stuck at gen 3 too man

[dense locust]

but na i got the motherboard with the 2000 series and 3000 series is when gen 4 launched

[fresh timber]

im using an a320m kek~1

i got for cheap

not complaining

[dense locust]

$50 motherboard

[fresh timber]

$40 for a 2300x and 16gb ram

ill use it for a nas one day

[dense locust]

oh well when i upgrade to am5 ill be good

and my poor gpu wont suffer anymore

[fresh timber]

Rn my dream is like a 9700x and xtx

My wallet days only one

[mortal grail]

If a 5800X3D can't do it on even a 4080 a 5080 definitely won't

Do more than just one game

Bruh even a 9900K struggles to fully saturate a 4080 lmao

Y'all gonna be wishing you had more for 1440p

[atomic mist]

What are we talking about so I can give my non expert opinion

[mortal grail]

I have this discussion every single time

I'm not gonna be convinced lmao

[wise wigeon]

fr

i had a 10700k

[mortal grail]

You will find so much fps on a better cpu

💀

[wise wigeon]

10700k is essentailly a 9900k that runs cooler

[fresh timber]

Give better gpu so I can hit 1440p 240hz more

[wise wigeon]

as of now its basically a 5600

[idle nexus]

bro I think it looked better before ngl

[mortal grail]

It's also hilarious that cod was mentioned cos I've had specific arguments about that X3D and a 4080 on cod and I was proven right

86% gpu util on cod

[idle nexus]

almost done tho

[mortal grail]

You'll need a better cpu for certain

[wise wigeon]

@mortal grail lets see if 5070 ti stock is bad, im not gonna wake up early for one but if i can snag one for sub 900

[mortal grail]

Lol

[mortal grail]

I mean go for it. Anything sub 800 is ok

But higher than that... Meh no

[wise wigeon]

its within a few % 7900xtx so im like not too worried

[dense locust]

for how bad the 2700x is im surprised anything can make it go to 100% lol

[wise wigeon]

but if i cant oh well

[mortal grail]

Oh yeah but also avoid it if you like old games

[wise wigeon]

no skin off my back

[mortal grail]

No 32bit physx support

[dense locust]

guess what game made it go to 100% you will never guess

[mortal grail]

Minesweeper

[fresh timber]

Even my 7700xt can get 180-220 FPS on cod with appropriate settings

[wise wigeon]

oldest game i play rn is like minecraft

[dense locust]

that name is closer than you think

[mortal grail]

Radeon cards are comically fast on cod lmao

[idle nexus]

the bottom is way more of a mess this time

[mortal grail]

Minesweeper pro max

[idle nexus]

I dunno you all tell me

[wise wigeon]

hope you got it for a good price

[dense locust]

its minecraft

:b

[mortal grail]

Damn

Is it at least modded

[dense locust]

shaders

[mortal grail]

Ah ok

Not terrible

[wise wigeon]

depends on the shaders

SEUS?

or is it lighter like sildurs

[fresh timber]

It was 1 year ago idk

[mortal grail]

Can't with no pic

[wise wigeon]

but yeah well i'm glad i figured out why the support bracket wouldnt work

[wise wigeon]

but a not glad my DPs are mangled

[idle nexus]

looks even sloppier in the picture lmao

[wise wigeon]

better than mine

my rule is good enough

[fresh timber]

Can you do mines

[wise wigeon]

then the side panel

[fresh timber]

Argb fans are a pain in the ass to manage

[idle nexus]

I'm never buying fans with fan boxes again unless they at least daisy chain with magnets

in fairness it looked like this before I started

[dense locust]

Y’all try to cable manage? Naw just throw it all in there the back panel will cover it up

[wise wigeon]

what lianli?

[fresh timber]

Real

[wise wigeon]

glow up fr

[idle nexus]

but again, the saddest part is

it looked like this before it looked like the previous picture

[wise wigeon]

that a randpom hat or are you floridian

[idle nexus]

dunno why but that feels like it looked cleaner

[wise wigeon]

lighting

[idle nexus]

probably cuz less crap on the bottom

[idle nexus]

lol I feel you I hate cable management

especially rn

[fresh timber]

The button is worst but it late and I don’t feel like showing it

[mortal grail]

Looks good

[wise wigeon]

god that is not a lot of cable room

[fresh timber]

Want me to try getting button shot

[wise wigeon]

well off to watch 2-4 hours of lectures

[wise wigeon]

tata

also

flubba

[fresh timber]

You don’t wanna see the fans

[wise wigeon]

what did you mean by rm850x is a 1000w? like its performance and efficiency makes it equivalent to 1000w psus from other companies?

[fresh timber]

@idle nexus manage for me

[mortal grail]

It can be run and used like a 1000W with no issues is what I mean

They're so overbuilt

And a golden standard of the industry

[wise wigeon]

thats fair

[mortal grail]

RMx is one of the few units people actually do this with

[idle nexus]

this all started because I realized my GPU block wasn't lighting up anymore

[wise wigeon]

i guess I just want that extra assurance if it being 1000

[mortal grail]

I ran my own RM850X over it's limit for some time, it still runs just fine

[idle nexus]

cheap heckin wire the width of a human hair was to blame

I expected this from EK but dammit Bitspower

[mortal grail]

Just saying, treat it like a 1000W really

[wise wigeon]

thatts fair

[idle nexus]

also I swapped a fitting

[mortal grail]

You really don't need to change it up imo

[wise wigeon]

lian li actually had middling performance

[idle nexus]

it's uglier but lets my gpu sit level without hitting the stupid power connenction

[fresh timber]

Ahhh manage for me dammit

[mortal grail]

Ye the edge gold is not the greatest but it's fine, and comes with good features

[wise wigeon]

its just the c1000 that is like really good for some reason

[fresh timber]

My managemt is so bad Idfk how my fans are wired I just know it works and I don’t touch

[wise wigeon]

cables are like old fashion sleeved though

[mortal grail]

Imo a psu at that price shouldn't come with normal cables

[mortal grail]

Not in this day and age

[wise wigeon]

better than flat imo

but yeah very not pretty cables

probably no all that stiff though

[fresh timber]

Better than my one psu cables

[wise wigeon]

these are asking for extensiongs

[mortal grail]

Which if you want extensions you're effectively spending 180

[wise wigeon]

but the psu is good

[mortal grail]

So it's just meh

[wise wigeon]

at that point might as well get the rm1000x

[mortal grail]

Edge meanwhile comes with replacements so it's more like 120 with $30 in extensions but native

Objectively those $150 psus should come with sleeved cables imo

[wise wigeon]

edge at the same price of the rm1000x also has a 1200w variant

[mortal grail]

Yeah

You see what I mean there

You just get more

[wise wigeon]

lian lie cables hella pretty

[mortal grail]

Lyin lie

[wise wigeon]

has like 4 pre applied combse

its weird the rm comes with so little

it had one for the 16 pin

and 4 8 pin ones

and thats it

[mortal grail]

Minimal for the outward aesthetics I guess

I still largely endorse these

Cos cable management is WAY better

And less points of failure

[frigid stag]

Is it a bad idea to buy a gpu as a spare

[mortal grail]

As well as less droop

[mortal grail]

Like a burner one no

[frigid stag]

I see good deals on 10 series cards kinda want one even though it’s less than what I already have

[mortal grail]

A full on one ofc

[wise wigeon]

i mean a good deal is a good deal

[mortal grail]

Like a 1050 just for display out sure

But only if you need it

[frigid stag]

Well ye for 70 to 80 a gtx 1070/1080 seems good to me

[mortal grail]

I have a 1650 for this

[frigid stag]

It’s cheap to buy

[wise wigeon]

that is good

[mortal grail]

1080 for 80 is solid

[wise wigeon]

ebay?

[frigid stag]

The 1080s are a bit more

[unreal chasm]

Opinion, should I say f it we ball and get a new 7800 xt for 600

[frigid stag]

The 70/ti are around that price tho

[wise wigeon]

no

[mortal grail]

No

[frigid stag]

Ti is almost the same

[wise wigeon]

do not get a 7800xt for 600

[frigid stag]

Na

[lone mango]

[wise wigeon]

at 500 it was already asking a bit much

[unreal chasm]

I'm running 1440p if that changes anything

I can't find used ones any better prices

[wise wigeon]

do you need one now?

[unreal chasm]

Id like to upgrade

[heavy dew]

@velvet summit wake up if I told you this you wouldn’t believe me

[unreal chasm]

My 3060 seems to struggle a bit on 1440p

[wise wigeon]

if you can wait a week and a half amd is launching

[heavy dew]

I stumbled across a backwards compatible PS3 that goodwill is auctioning off

[unreal chasm]

Tryna say wait for new gen for price drops on older

[heavy dew]

Only problem is it’s blinking red

[frigid stag]

Get a 7800xt new off eBay

[wise wigeon]

probably has more stock than nvidia but idk how much

[heavy dew]

But blinking red means it’s overheating

Should I cop me a backwards compatible PS3

[wise wigeon]

isnt the 9070 leaked to be about 600?

[heavy dew]

That needs a cleaning

[unreal chasm]

They're the same price on ebay and I don't trust ebay

[lone mango]

What about jawa

I like jawa

[unreal chasm]

I've never actually used jawa heard of it tho

[idle nexus]

after all that, you can't even tell the stupid gpu block is lit

[wise wigeon]

i could never

[idle nexus]

cuz the other lights overpower it

[unreal chasm]

700 on jawa

[mortal grail]

Finally got rid of the octopus 12vhpwr

Lol

[lone mango]

Was lower but tariffs may have pushed it to 600 from like 5 something

[idle nexus]

I just hid it better lmao

& got those 90 cables

[wise wigeon]

is that a 600w bronze evga psu?

[mortal grail]

When you zoom out:

[lone mango]

[mortal grail]

The 1 is hidden behind metal lol

[idle nexus]

pretty much ya

it is bronze but it's 1600w lol

er wait I think gold

I dunno it's a 1600w G+

it's alright ig

it's a poor me's T2 lol

[wise wigeon]

ah the lighting made the letters look bronze

[idle nexus]

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-GP-1600-X1

the 1300w G2 in my 12900K build is probably technically a better PSU

but I used it anyway because I didn't wanna get a new PSU

[wise wigeon]

lol that iphone 16e announcment

[idle nexus]

so instead of 2x12vhpwr, I had to adapt 8 6+2s lol

[mortal grail]

Still insane you did this

[idle nexus]

the G2 only had 6 6+2s iirc

the cablemod cables are made specifically for the PSU

[mortal grail]

Bro had a pcie cable shortage on a 1300W

[unreal chasm]

Found a used 6950xt on marketplace for 300

[craggy shoal]

W PSU (before incident)

[mortal grail]

Good if the seller is real (unlikely)

[sinful blade]

@mortal grail #tech-industry-news

[craggy shoal]

idk why this makes me laugh 💀

[idle nexus]

so no damn adapters at least

[unreal chasm]

Yea ik

[idle nexus]

actually that picture isn't too far off ngl

[dense locust]

Are these the ones that got recalled?

[mortal grail]

Nah the adapters that are tiny little things

[idle nexus]

when I first got this case

[mortal grail]

Not cables

[wise wigeon]

huh looks like 1 microcenter has 100 5070 tis

[dense locust]

Hmmm ok

[idle nexus]

I thought it was a good idea to put these in it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088B85G38?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_26

[unreal chasm]

He has no actual pictures of the gpu but has screenshots of his task manager

[idle nexus]

most of them are still there lmao

[mortal grail]

Sus

[idle nexus]

there's 120LEDs per meter

sorry

144 LEDs

[mortal grail]

Oooo

I hope that's not Tustin

I will be annoyed if that's Tustin

[wise wigeon]

one has 67

[dense locust]

That’s actually 11 they just wrote the 0 and crossed it out

[wise wigeon]

nah that marietta GA

[mortal grail]

Better

[wise wigeon]

denver

[mortal grail]

But still really low

[unreal chasm]

My concern is on his task manager his gpu is reading 0% usage chillen at 68 degrees

[idle nexus]

I got a text message from Microcenter that 5070tis go on sale tomorrow at like 9 or something

[opaque sedge]

Guys how likely am i to regret this

[mortal grail]

That's still really low

[idle nexus]

I'm like nah I'm good lol

[lone mango]

same

[mortal grail]

Lol that's a point of topic ngl

[opaque sedge]

Or how likely am i to love this

[wise wigeon]

damn this guy was camping miami for a 5070 ti and snagged a 5080

[unreal chasm]

As in that's just a Radeon thing? Or a his card thing

[wise wigeon]

pny OC is pretty close to msrp right?

[mortal grail]

His card thing

[idle nexus]

the Miami microcenter is the one that texted me

I live like 30 minutes from it or something

I still haven't gone ngl

[wise wigeon]

lucky

[opaque sedge]

They’re the only ones doing close to msrp i think 💀

[idle nexus]

I'm afraid if I go there I'll like

[dense locust]

Oh you posted it lol

[opaque sedge]

Overspend

[idle nexus]

be in debt for the next 10 years

[opaque sedge]

Exactly

[wise wigeon]

not great but the lines dont look that crazy

people will prob get their cards

[north crescent]

Idk if there really be a need to go high density when you shouldnt be looking at them LEDs directly anyways (facing wall or diffuser), cuz they kinda suck to look at directly unless you got like display panel density or smth

[velvet summit]

if you don't care about maxing out your graphics and playing on low to maximize batt life, you'll love it
if you want the maximum fidelity, you'll be disappointed by the battery life
if you like to tinker around, you'll probably like it

[idle nexus]

50 series just isn't that great to me at least

like ya 5090 is a monster

[wise wigeon]

which i mean its 12% slower than a 5080 if you're mostly gaming its fin

[idle nexus]

but I'm not gonna try to fight for one at like $4k minimum

or buy a bunch of unwanted junk off... a certain retailer who shall remain unnamed just to get one

[wise wigeon]

yeah no max i'd say is maybe 200 for a more premium model

[opaque sedge]

I have a desktop for higher fidelity games def interested in lower fidelity or titles on a handheld form factor tbh

[wise wigeon]

200 more*

[north crescent]

Okay, but what about $3999.99????

[idle nexus]

lol I spent too much on this 4090 I'm sticking with it for now

[wise wigeon]

but def not like 1500 for a windforce 5080

[idle nexus]

maybe 5090 in like 6-12 months

[mortal grail]

At that point a used card is easily better

[opaque sedge]

And then they come out with a 5090ti

[idle nexus]

I haven't hit a VRAM limit lmao

[wise wigeon]

if you can find one

used market is hell rn

[mortal grail]

5070 Ti stops at 800 imo

Lol

[opaque sedge]

Reminds me of covid and post covid car market

[idle nexus]

lol used market has all this new life in it because of how bad things are with 50 series rn

[mortal grail]

Beyond that it's a loss in the broader picture

[wise wigeon]

i'd say 850 for me

[north crescent]

Used 4090 prices do be fairly "alright" (high) rn, getting 5090 FE and selling 4090 might not be a huge money loss

[idle nexus]

I mean, I'll think about it whenever 5090 HOF comes out

once you go HOF it's hard to go back

I just... I like controlling my VRAM voltage & my GPU voltage

[wise wigeon]

maybe 900 if its like a juiced out gigchad model but 900 for a prime is just lol

[idle nexus]

not +100% that adds like .001 lol

[wise wigeon]

tustin has 110 btw

[idle nexus]

I'd rather have a 4090 HOF than a 5090 whatever card

[mortal grail]

Paper launch

They had about as many 5080s

Don't even bother trying

Lol

[wise wigeon]

i hope amd has stock lol

[idle nexus]

the problem is, the 5090 HOF will probably be like $10k based on current prices

[wise wigeon]

remeber the last time azor said no paper launch?

[mortal grail]

My guy go and buy a sports car at that point

[mortal grail]

Lol true

[idle nexus]

I feel like the Federal Trade Commission should investigate nvidia rn

like there's a conspiracy to keep supply low or something

[lone mango]

Yeah there needs to be a probe launched for what nvidia does frfr

I said this a coupel days ago

[idle nexus]

this is exactly what happens when one company dominates

[lone mango]

Enough is enough

[wise wigeon]

he literally posted himself buying one like sure man

i believe you

[mortal grail]

And his team of 68 others

[idle nexus]

I hope Intel pulls a miracle

can you like blur the curse word

[wise wigeon]

woops didnt see it

[lone mango]

Where

Oh

[idle nexus]

lol

[idle nexus]

beautiful I love it haha

[wise wigeon]

andre probably never got that $10

[idle nexus]

wait what

RX6800

[opaque sedge]

Not regretting ordering the deck alr 💀

[idle nexus]

isn't it like something 70 now

[wise wigeon]

no this is from 2020

[idle nexus]

ohh haha

ya but there was a huge difference back then

[wise wigeon]

9070 series launches march 6

[idle nexus]

I mean let me put it this way

do we really believe demand for GPUs is the same as it was in 2020?

unless I'm missing out on some free crypto money

or uh kinda free-ish

[wise wigeon]

no 2020 was covid and people needed a lot of computer stuff in general

[idle nexus]

easy crypto money let's call it that

ah right right

okay so COVID+crypto=massive shortages

but now we have

[something]+{something]=massive shortages

can anyone solve for something lol

there's no way AI is causing the same level of shortages that crypto & COVID did

or maybe I'm missing out on easy AI money who knows

[wise wigeon]

well deepseek happened

but got disproved

didn't they have like 1.9 billionn in nvidia hardware?

[idle nexus]

so how do I make copilot put money in my account? lol

you know what's odd & kinda crazy

look on ebay

there are A LOT

of GPUs without the GPU

like the actual die I mean

like if you need a new PCB, cooler, etc.

[wise wigeon]

not quite where it was but making its way back

[idle nexus]

wth is going on there

[wise wigeon]

it was funny to see the drop though

[idle nexus]

196 listings for 4090 no core???

[wise wigeon]

you havent seen it recently?

[idle nexus]

200 sold??

what happened to 200 4090 cores?

[devout forum]

Lost the core and VRAM

[idle nexus]

wait, what's this? can't be ETH lol

[devout forum]

I think they got scavenged for AI cardd

[idle nexus]

lmao 200 times??

[wise wigeon]

thats nvidia

[lone mango]

nvidia stock

[devout forum]

Potentially then smuggled to China

[wise wigeon]

potentially lol

[idle nexus]

heckin underpants GPU Core gnomes

[devout forum]

I'm saying potentially because we don't know for sure/don't have proof

[lone mango]

desperation for good prices + chinese new year paper launch

[idle nexus]

ah yeah I heard investors freaked out cuz of Chinese AI then ya

[idle nexus]

lol but there are no good prices

there aren't even decent prices

lol even the terrible bundles are out of stonk

[lone mango]

people are feinin rn

[idle nexus]

that must be one heck of a PSU

[frigid stag]

LOL boardzy server has the funniest bs I’ve seen “e cores on can’t make a game smoother”

[wise wigeon]

its like 200 dollars

i think its the one with 2 16 pins

still a 1300 5080 is asking a ot

[lone mango]

no its not

[frigid stag]

Literal benchmarks showing higher fps. They literally handle background task or more

[idle nexus]

it should be lol

[wise wigeon]

where is the inspire on their sku line

[lone mango]

[idle nexus]

ehh

it's MPG

MEG is their top stuff iirc

like X670E MEG ACE is a really nice motherboard imo

I assume Godlike is an MEG but that's the stupidest motherboard on the market imo

doesn't it go like MEG>MAG>MPG?

or is it MEG MPG MAG

what a dumb nvm

[granite stirrup]

eggys help pls

[lone mango]

[wise wigeon]

not bad not good

its mostly the cost

you can get a rm1000x for less

[idle nexus]

like why buy a godlike? it's not an XOC board. it looks dumb I dunno

[granite stirrup]

boths of these are the same right?

[wise wigeon]

looks like it

dunno what special edition implies

[granite stirrup]

I dont want that ugly ass ivory

[wise wigeon]

because honestly special editions sometimes skimp out

[granite stirrup]

T.,T

[idle nexus]

MEG = MSI Enthusiast Gaming
MPG = MSI Performance Gaming
MAG = MSI Arsenal Gaming

and that tells us nothing thanks MSI

[wise wigeon]

tf does arsenal mean

[idle nexus]

I think it's a soccer team?

[wise wigeon]

lol

[idle nexus]

https://www.arsenal.com/

yup

I'm even more confused now

[mortal grail]

WHOA

[wise wigeon]

why is enthusiast under performance

[mortal grail]

WHOOAAAAA

WHIOOOOAAAA

THAT'S THE HIGHEST IT'S EVER BEEN

WHOOAAAAA

[wise wigeon]

not ever

just in recent years

[mortal grail]

Ok fine recent years

[wise wigeon]

i swear it was closer to 20 in the 600 series

[wise wigeon]

6000*

[mortal grail]

FIVE PERCENT BECAUSE OF A LAUNCH

[granite stirrup]

was thinking about grabbing another pair of shuress

shure srh840a

[lone mango]

[idle nexus]

I wish I knew what was going on. I'm still trying to figure out how MSI is affiliated with a soccer team

[wise wigeon]

bouncing back from rock bottom isnt exactly all that axciting to me

i wanna see post 9070 get 20% at least

[idle nexus]

I saw 7900XTX beats 5070ti pretty frequently

dammit AMD & Intel

[wise wigeon]

for tpu it was weirdly like half and half

[idle nexus]

make good flagships

or a flagship

heck

[wise wigeon]

issue is like current pricing of the xtx aint great

[idle nexus]

lol wish I bought 10 like 6 months ago

[wise wigeon]

in the us you can find em for under 920

cant*

new

[lone mango]

Intel flagship gonna require a 13950x3d overclock to not bottleneck it

[wise wigeon]

your'e more likely to find em for 1000 or 1030 for the nitro

[hoary zodiac]

I don't get it

[frigid stag]

Doesn’t it come with an aio too

[hoary zodiac]

Why do people still buy nvidia

[wise wigeon]

work

prebuilts

laptops

[frigid stag]

Because it’s better if you have the budget for it

[wise wigeon]

that too

amd is a value player

[frigid stag]

Plus dx11 and older runs better on nvidia a lot of the time

[idle nexus]

next time Jensen is gonna do a speech

[wise wigeon]

thing is they launch at bad value and discount a quarter later

[hoary zodiac]

Maybe I just think that spending that much money for video games is silly

[idle nexus]

someone hack into the stage equipment & play "Build Me Up Buttercup" when he comes out

[wise wigeon]

i could think of worse things

like beer

tastes like dirt water

[idle nexus]

gambling

Disney

[wise wigeon]

most streaming subs

[idle nexus]

trips to Disney

[wise wigeon]

remember when people got mad netflix upped to $10

[idle nexus]

lol it was always going to go to hell tho

once you find a way to get away from advertising

they figure it out & follow you

[wise wigeon]

8 dollars for ads lol

[hoary zodiac]

I cancelled my netflix subscription

[idle nexus]

I cancelled Disney+

my son watched some of that Marvel crap

[lone mango]

$18 per month....

bro...]

[idle nexus]

& the National Geographic or whatever thing they had helped me fall asleep

[wise wigeon]

only reason i would pay a month for apple tv is because i wanna watch ted lasso

[idle nexus]

but it wasn't worth it

& Marvel is pretty crap now

[lone mango]

i say thats crazy a lot, sometimes as a joke but that is literally crazy

[idle nexus]

& they absolutely destroyed Star Wars

[lone mango]

like

[hoary zodiac]

I only have prime video

[lone mango]

thats more than amazon prime

[idle nexus]

I only have Prime cuz it comes with Prime lol

[hoary zodiac]

That's only because I have an amazon prime subscription

[idle nexus]

exactly lol

I want quick delivery dammit

[hoary zodiac]

I save money on buying stuff

Australian retail is funny

[idle nexus]

but ig I'll take free Mr. Beast Games & Fallout whatever

[wise wigeon]

7.50 for students

prime aint too bad

[hoary zodiac]

Ironically prime has more options for me

[lone mango]

Yeah thats what i got rn

[hoary zodiac]

Prime unironically had more shows

[idle nexus]

tbh I don't even really look at it

cuz it has ads

& I loathe ads

[lone mango]

idk if ima pay full price tho

[hoary zodiac]

I use adblock

[idle nexus]

oh right ig I could use it on desktop

on smart TVs it has adsss

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah it's usable on desktop

[idle nexus]

I don't watch youtube on smart tvs for that reason

only on desktop or mobile

since desktop has uBlock & mobile has AdGuard player

[wise wigeon]

how young you think this person is

[hoary zodiac]

ahahahahhahaha

[wise wigeon]

too young for 8k 3090

[hoary zodiac]

Bro has not seen all the AMD marketing

[wise wigeon]

omg vega

[lone mango]

5900xt

[idle nexus]

it's crazy how the 5070 is gonna perform like the 4090 when the 5080 can't

[hoary zodiac]

"GAMECACHE"

[lone mango]

the xt cpus

[hoary zodiac]

The entirety of bulldozer

[lone mango]

I wasnt around when that was

Why did fx become so bad

Was it good early on?

[hoary zodiac]

It was never good

[craggy shoal]

yerr
https://myspecs.terracasa.cc/

[hoary zodiac]

Didn't the 5700XT outperform it

[wise wigeon]

dunno

[hoary zodiac]

All I know is that the 5700XT is definitely not 2080 performance

[wise wigeon]

but tpu has it at least 10-16% weaker than the same price 2080

[hoary zodiac]

2070S sure

Not 2080

[lone mango]

radeon 7 was cool but it wasnt that good tbh

[hoary zodiac]

Vega igpus were cool

[wise wigeon]

its barely faster than the 2070

[lone mango]

typo

[hoary zodiac]

AHAHAHAH

So a 5700XT literally destroys it

[wise wigeon]

4k was its biggest lead

[lone mango]

2070s is like a 1080 tho

oh

2070 was then

[wise wigeon]

1080p

1440p

[lone mango]

damn 16 gb at that time is pretty nuts

[wise wigeon]

ueseless though

[hoary zodiac]

It was more of a compute card

HBM2 too

[wise wigeon]

they tried to push it real hard

[lone mango]

Yeah remember its vega

not like rdna where its only gaming

[hoary zodiac]

I wonder what would happen if you swap the HBM2 with GDDR6

[wise wigeon]

its slower clocks right?

[hoary zodiac]

Games do not like HBM

[wise wigeon]

they never learn

stop putting your foot in your mouth

glad most of the comments are sensible

rare occurence

oh

a msrp card on BB what a twist

tf you mean sold out

[lone mango]

Fellas

just stop caring

dont pay any attention to the 50 series anymore

[hoary zodiac]

Nah I want to watch nvidia burn

[wise wigeon]

i mean if you can get one at msrp it aint bad

you wont

[hoary zodiac]

Play stupid anti consumer games

[wise wigeon]

but if you can

[hoary zodiac]

Get stupid results

[wise wigeon]

not when your competition is radeon

[hoary zodiac]

True

Nvidia does have a monopoly on the high end

[wise wigeon]

didnt the 4090 outsell the whole 7000 line

huh

wegg has 5 msrp skus

too bad its gonna be in the bundles

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-hitori-goto-depressed-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27672004

[wise wigeon]

okay thats funny

[cedar compass]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z7aco-y4RE&ab_channel=Romi

[frigid stag]

Na that’s the gtx 480 griller card

[north crescent]

5070Ti cant even perform 4080 levels. So how do Nvidia get a 5070, an even lower tier new card, to perf a 4090, an even higher tier old tier card (ye mfg and all I know)?

[wise wigeon]

i mean it is roughly 4080S

aand 4080

but this is the performance a 60 or 70 eries should be

not a 70 ti

[north crescent]

Only really in 4k non-DLSS. In <4k non-DLSS it seems to average less than a 4080

5070Ti does beat 4080 in a few games, but it didnt seem like that was the norm

[wise wigeon]

at 4k its weird

this is vvs the 80 and xtx

it like wins half and loses half

its is their 1440p summary

its close enough that i would saw equivalent

rt is about 1-4% diff

oc gives it about 10%

its weird

like HUb has like worse noumbers than most of the other reviewers

[hoary zodiac]

What about GN?

[north crescent]

Eh, I suppose so. Tho, the fact that best case scenario is "technically losing" (99% perf) and worst case scenario is "actually losing" (like 94% perf) I still dont really consider it the same

[wise wigeon]

depends on game

and hois game suite is kinda small

[hoary zodiac]

I mean makes sense

Easier to test

[wise wigeon]

roughly equivalent

at 4k

[north crescent]

GDDR7 really helping with high occupancy workloads related to memory

[wise wigeon]

single fps diff in in 1440p in everything but ff14

starfield i lags behind a bit too

so like

[lone mango]

https://tenor.com/view/mid-its-mid-ugly-nah-gif-19839131

[wise wigeon]

the biggest difference was ff14 at like 6% fps diff

generally equivalent

[lone mango]

usb 3.0, 3.1 gen 1, 3.2 gen 1

whats the difference

[wise wigeon]

hence why he called it a 4080v3

not exciting

but with the current market if you can get it for close enough to msrp

it fine

not good

just whatever

if used market wasnt bad and we still had 40 cards it would be screwed

but as it stands

if you can get it cheaper than a 7900xtx i mean

its pretty much there

[north crescent]

Guess it is a bit closer than I realized, I tbh didnt exactly care to look too much into it. Regardless tho, it isnt a good look to even be in the "technically losing" (99%) category

[wise wigeon]

fair

but a 1-2% variance in games is like nonexistant

still blows

obviously we want a more exciting card

but not like you're getting a 4080/S for under 1200

thats why people are gonna buy out the 900+ models

if its under double digit % generally less than 5% perf diff with a 7900xtx and cost roughly the same

you weigh 8 gb of vram vs dlss and RT

[north crescent]

Gamble of a lifetime

||/s||

[wise wigeon]

if you can grab a msrp 5080 like obviously thats better

but 5080 prime is like 1300

xtx is more of a hard whoice if it were 800

but its not

thats why if the 9070xt isnt at least xtx perf

its kinda dead in the water

unless amd doesn't pull a nvidia -$50

but lets be real

[lone mango]

9060 prob gonna be like this

probably xt too

[wise wigeon]

and thats why it wont matter

because like its the same vram

its not like the xtx where you get 24gb

so same vram, same perf, worse rt and no dlss

people will just pay the extra

heck people will proably pay 100-150 extra because of nvidia mindshare

[lone mango]

well my ass def aint running rt on a 60 card

[wise wigeon]

it blows

[lone mango]

and fsr 4 actually seems good so they could get away with a small discount at the lower end

[wise wigeon]

like if a 5070 ti is like actually available

i'd pick it over the xtx

[lone mango]

but the -50 stuff on higher end cards was silly

[wise wigeon]

like im sorry but i will

[lone mango]

-50 on the low end is a bigger deal tho

[wise wigeon]

dlss4 is nuts

the likelyhood i run into a game that needs more than 16 gb is just very unlikely

would i want more for the price yes of course

[lone mango]

hahahaha they are so fed up

[wise wigeon]

yeah fr

[lone mango]

gn thumbnails are so funny sometimes

[wise wigeon]

he be a bit goofy

[lone mango]

you can tell hes done just from that thumbnail

[wise wigeon]

i do enjoy him giving tldrs

like right away its a 4080v3

i don't like supporting nvidia when its like this but

amd needs a compelling product

and the market blows

and the thing pulls like 300w so i'm not super worried about the connector

i'm tired boss

gib gud gpu plz

i payed 1k for the xtx

[lone mango]

you got bagged

[wise wigeon]

like if i can grab a non crap model at 850 or under like why not

if its within 5% performance

[wise wigeon]

yeah not proud of this

very unfortunate situation rn

but like i just wanna be done

plus ups decided to drop kick my gpu

[storm narwhal]

Just gotta keep waiting

[wise wigeon]

and even if its functional the io sheild and DP ports are banged up so i'm gonna return it

[lone mango]

yeah just keep your 3080 for a little longer

few months

[wise wigeon]

i dont have it anymore

[lone mango]

then you can let it take a break

[wise wigeon]

its in my brothers build

[lone mango]

[wise wigeon]

sold it to him for cheap because hes my brother

[lone mango]

[wise wigeon]

and i wasnt gonna have him pay 400_ for a 7700xt

plan is if i can get a 5070ti for a ok price fine thats it

in which case i'll likely not change out my psu too

if not then i have a backordered 7900xtx nitro plus that i had as a backup in case bestbuy screwed me

which i mean you saw the pictures

i didnt expect that

i more expected cancelled order

[lone mango]

Better be up for that

are you near a micro center

[wise wigeon]

nah

[lone mango]

[wise wigeon]

but they seem to generally have about 100 of them for launch

[lone mango]

honestly

not that bad

[wise wigeon]

waaay more than i expected from them

[lone mango]

nah lower skus are always more plentiful

thats just how it is

[wise wigeon]

idk about more than 5x plentiful

didnt some stores only have like 20 5080s

[dense locust]

Is micro the amount of stores they have?

[wise wigeon]

yeah what like 24 stores

[dense locust]

Because the centers themselves don’t seem micro

[lone mango]

[deep parcel]

maybe next generation... or maybe the generation after

[hoary zodiac]

Finally set up my file sync

[wise wigeon]

for what linux?

[hoary zodiac]

From local machine to local server ye

I'll have to set up local server-cloud tho

Right now it's more to have synchronised documents between my pcs

[tranquil pebble]

Rusting is only good when it happens to software

[paper verge]

its named after me

the micro part

[river mauve]

Anyone know y newegg.ca doesn’t have the 5070ti anywhere yet

[storm narwhal]

Ask nvidia

Giving all of their stock to the US

[tranquil pebble]

5000 series paper launch lol

[storm narwhal]

plus not even a great GPU anyway

[tranquil pebble]

Nvidia no longer makes good GPUs under $1,000 AFAIK

[storm narwhal]

Its all about that ai now

[tranquil pebble]

hopefully that crashes soon enough

[cinder summit]

Newegg so bad they keep canceling my order

not sure what the hell its wrong with them

3rd order for 5090 canceled

and account locked

[worthy meteor]

Newegg does not reserve items in cart like most retailers, if it doesn't go through, 95% of the time it's because it's already sold out. Spamming it and trying to check out with non-existent stock is only going to be flagged as suspicious activity

[cinder summit]

My order was packing and then canceled i didnt spam anything

Thank you for contacting Newegg.
I do apologize, and unfortunately the account is no longer accessible.
If you still require any assistance, please feel free to visit our Customer Help Center to check our Help Topics and use our Self-Help tools.
Please click here to rate my service. We value your feedback!

Sincerely,

Newegg Customer Service

8 year old account

this is not professional at all

credit has charge and then refunded

[worthy meteor]

Go talk to newegg support when they're online again

The Newegg backend is probably screwed up again like last time, most likely it's letting some orders get placed for stock that has already been sold

[cinder summit]

Like i understand you void the order bc its out of stock

but banning my account

that insane

[worthy meteor]

It was happening back during the 30xx shortage

Mostly safeguard against exploits but with very high false positive rates

[cinder summit]

like i dont knwo

same billing address and shipping

no fraud

just cancel and ban

its already extremly difficult to find 5090

then this happens

i think its easy to give a call or sent an email or text to verify some info

[worthy meteor]

All you can do is talk to actual Newegg support, and hope you don't get redirected to the outsourced support team

[cinder summit]

man i tried yeterday and that the answer i got

this is so bull @#@$@#$

im been here in newegg discord since 2019

i guess that it

client since 2008

[worthy meteor]

Catch Newegg support here when they're online and they can probably fix it like they did before

[cinder summit]

i did im just waiting

[worthy meteor]

Their working day won't start for a couple hours for pst

[cedar compass]

[cinder summit]

i did contact them yesterday

here in discord

im going to miss the 5070 ti drop

[craggy shoal]

You don't want it anyways lol

[storm narwhal]

You're not missing out on anything anyway

Literally does not matter lol

4080 3.0 anyone?

[cinder summit]

well better then nothing at this point

[craggy shoal]

Get a 7900 XTX

Or wait for RDNA 4

[storm narwhal]

Was just gonna say

[cinder summit]

amd sucks

[storm narwhal]

Pff

You suck for thinking that

[craggy shoal]

Your mom sucks

Me

e

[storm narwhal]

Have you seen actual performance comparisons?

[cinder summit]

never again a lot of issue last time

[storm narwhal]

When was last time?

What was last time?

[cinder summit]

your just sucked today

[craggy shoal]

probably 2020 😭💀

[storm narwhal]

Lmao yeah would add up

Their drivers then were pretty bad

But it's been how many years?

3 years

A lifetime ago for GPUs

[craggy shoal]

Idk man the only time I had issues with AMD was in 2020

[storm narwhal]

Any issues are definitely ironed out now

If anything, I'm having more and more issues with my nvidia card lol

[craggy shoal]

I never had an issue with the two 6800 XTs (for two different builds) or my RX 480 back in the day lol

[storm narwhal]

Like since they started using ai to make their drivers

[craggy shoal]

The only issue is whatever the 2020 drivers spat out for my 5700

[storm narwhal]

Newest releases almost guaranteed to be ass or break something that wasn't broken

[craggy shoal]

I haven't seen anybody this excited for a Blackwell release so far 💀

[storm narwhal]

Tried it enough and still hearing it from others who keep updated to latest drivers

[craggy shoal]

Other than maybe Theo

[storm narwhal]

The general sentiment was "wow this is literal asscheeks"

Well, still is

[craggy shoal]

This kid sounds like a spoiled child lol

"I NEED MY 5070 Ti NOW"

"I'M WAITING IN LINE"

Bro is waiting for the wrong release lol

[storm narwhal]

Genuinely, don't even worry about it and just get a 7900xtx lol

[craggy shoal]

Excited for fake frames is crazy 😭

[storm narwhal]

Its basically a 5070ti anyway

Nvidia is just pushing the wrong narrative that real time generated everything is the future

Its not

Just makes every AAA terrible and only run well on DLSS since they're basically monopolizing the market

Thus locking you out of the game and creating a paywall

[craggy shoal]

This guy took "4090 performance" serious 😭

Bro really thought that was real 💀

[storm narwhal]

More like 4080 performance

On specific games maybe

[craggy shoal]

Yeah maybe with your fake frames

[storm narwhal]

CS2, anyone?

[craggy shoal]

I’ve been playing Hell Let Loose

[balmy solstice]

theyre real to me 💔

[craggy shoal]

May or may not play more when I get to work lol

[storm narwhal]

Real until native dips below 60 and adds a bunch of latency

[balmy solstice]

only in spider man 2 port

[storm narwhal]

Still not a good experience to have

And proves how much of a farce it all is

If it can't even provide an equal experience to native rendering why am I using it

[balmy solstice]

it's all apart of the matrix

the frames come from the matrix, but when they stop working it means the simulation has to put in overtime which makes your games lag

[storm narwhal]

Maybe they should have generated some actual performance instead lol

They put all their generation into the ai running the matrix

[craggy shoal]

"Our GPUs aren't doing as good this year." My brother in Christ, you have AI to help you out, don't you?

[storm narwhal]

How's that been working out nvidia

[balmy solstice]

until the ai is jarvis (or ultron) it's still not gonna be enough sadly

[storm narwhal]

"Jarvis, create more frames in my league of legends gameplay"

[balmy solstice]

"on it sir" whirrrrrrrrrrrrrr pft pft pft

[craggy shoal]

Bruh I’m waiting for somebody to maybe a fully functioning Jarvis application. It can be done with the current state of AI. But yeah only have AI and we don't do anything with it

[craggy shoal]

At least we could have a speech companion lol

[storm narwhal]

"Jarvis, create a new team for marvel rivals in the US"

we are going to generate the rest of the game with ai

Who needed the US team to maintain the game anyway

[craggy shoal]

"Jarvis make my 5070 Ti use all 999.99 dollars"

[balmy solstice]

jarvis, hack all their pc's and play moaning audios loud enough for their parents to hear

i already maxed out my credit limit so no 5070ti to me

[mental yoke]

Won't let me save as index.html

[fresh timber]

What you getting me)

[surreal comet]

Retaining order

[fresh timber]

Time to ignore it

[river mauve]

WHERE R THEY

ITS 9:01

[open knoll]

Who got one ?

[river mauve]

im literally spam refreshing and havent seen anything go live on like any site

am i cooked

[open knoll]

bro its already sold out lmao

[wise wigeon]

First time I’ve even seen the option for store pickup but I have enough self respect to not pay 980 for a 5070ti

[open knoll]

4090 power for only 980 sign me up!

[storm narwhal]

980 for a 4080?

I'm good

[open knoll]

yall think a 2080ti to a 5070ti a good jump or nah

[storm narwhal]

Its not worth the price

But it would be kinda noticeable

Might as well get a 4080 or a 3000 series if you must get an nvidia gpu

[cedar compass]

msrp isn't that bad but msrp cards got outta stock in seconds

[river mauve]

tell me how i get to the point of confirming the purchase via a 2fa code from my phone and best buy then tells me its outta stock 😦

[rancid juniper]

Morning eggs, I keep hearing about this physx situation coming from Nvidia

[storm narwhal]

Is the physx not physicsing

[rancid juniper]

Nope

Much worse it's freezing

[open knoll]

das crazy bro i got one from newegg

[storm narwhal]

Lmao

Newest drivers?

[rancid juniper]

Yep

[storm narwhal]

Of course

I figured as much

[river mauve]

im in canada and i legit have been spam refreshing and have only seen one go live on new egg canada lmao

[storm narwhal]

2020 level AMD driver jank moment???

[rancid juniper]

Apparently Nvidia dropped support for 32bit physx meaning that games like mirrors edge would run terribly if enabled

[open knoll]

shoulda been on the app + apple pay

[storm narwhal]

LMAOOO WHYY

[rancid juniper]

I mean I guess not a lot of titles used it and development was super slow

[storm narwhal]

Weren't they the ones pushing for physx in the first place?

[rancid juniper]

So technically they ditched it

Lol yea

[storm narwhal]

And now they're ditching their own product they spent a long time trying to force on the industry

Crazyy

[rancid juniper]

Someone mentioned that it was like "the ray tracing of that time"

[storm narwhal]

Pretty much

Hardware accelerated software

Just in a different application

[rancid juniper]

Mhm super demanding and now they're like, it's whatever why need it?

[storm narwhal]

I hope the same thing happens for how theyre pushing the narrative on DLSS

[rancid juniper]

Lol
