fresh timber
should i gamble
sweet phoenix
clear pecan
bazinga
sweet phoenix
should i gamble
I gaurantee neither of these is B die
sweet phoenix
You talking about your rev e?
fresh timber
yes
sweet phoenix
Rev e is hynix
sweet phoenix
This is more likely to be somewhat overclockable but I still doubt it's B die

fresh timber
welp trident Z it is
fresh timber
This is more likely to be somewhat overclockable but I still doubt it's B die
h...
i honestly dont care if its not B die, i just want 32gb, cheap, oc well
wanna try getting this cpu to run 4000
sweet phoenix
Genuinely a used B die or rev E kit is your best bet
fresh timber
ill just lower my expectations and buy the cheapest kit i can find kek
sweet phoenix
3200c16 could maybe do 3600c18
I highly doubt it could do 4000 with reasonable timings
sweet phoenix
Probably
lone mango
3200c16 could maybe do 3600c18
Isnt the difference really small if any at all
lone mango
Normally around 5% or less
Sounds about right
Damn bruh I took a huge l not getting the sf750
sweet phoenix
How much was it?
mental yoke
small psus are nice
lone mango
How much was it?
When it was oct 2023 like $200 lol
gray kelp
Why would people say this is a good deal?
it is about $1960 (including tax and shipping)
wise wigeon
wdym
sweet phoenix
When it was oct 2023 like $200 lol
Ew
wise wigeon
thats the price of a sf850 now
fresh timber
ima look for discount codes brb
lone mango
Ew
So I went with the gm 750 and the fan is so brutal
I should have paid a little bit more
sweet phoenix
Why would people say this is a good deal?
it is about $1960 (including tax and ...
Considering a 5080 alone is $1300+ unless you're very lucky, it's ok
The ram needs replacing

16gb kinda sucks but š¤·
wise wigeon
Why would people say this is a good deal?
it is about $1960 (including tax and ...
the 5080 is carrying this thing hard
sweet phoenix
16gb kinda sucks but š¤·
More than kinda sucks for ddr5, it's 8gb sticks which are built different than higher capacity sticks
wise wigeon
The ram needs replacing
80 buck is no biggie though
sweet phoenix
You lose performance by having 8gb sticks of ddr5
gray kelp
This is probably a stupid question but can I change CPu into 9800x3d? PRolly not huh? š
sweet phoenix
No
mental yoke
You lose performance by having 8gb sticks of ddr5
gross
sweet phoenix
Not without replacing the motherboard too
gray kelp
š¦
sweet phoenix
Is that an Alienware pc?
gray kelp
unfortunately
sweet phoenix
Gross
wise wigeon
oh that is gross
lone mango
The laptops dont seem to be so bad really
wise wigeon
prob a proprietary mobo adn psu on top of the other issues
mental yoke
the laptop is solid built
wise wigeon
the laptop is solid built
ugly as hell though
gray kelp
I was going to replace the RAM, the cpu is kinda bad tho
wise wigeon
its not bad just not the best
sweet phoenix
I was going to replace the RAM, the cpu is kinda bad tho
Its ok
lone mango
prob a proprietary mobo adn psu on top of the other issues
Yeah my friend has an omen and it has a proprietary board that cant take above 5200
sweet phoenix
If youre playing at 1440p it won't limit the gpu too badly
sweet phoenix
Core ultra is kinda an embarrassment
gray kelp
is there "worthy" upgrade?
sweet phoenix
No
I will say, certain games you'll be very cpu bound, the ultra 9 285k loses to a 12600k in specific games
wise wigeon
265 is roughly around 9700x territory iirc
sweet phoenix
For a large amount of games yeah
wise wigeon
which i mean its a similar pricee
gray kelp
Like my other option is probably those two, I feel like I am limited to prebuilds because I cant really get 5080 for decent price and would end up costing the same... š¦
fresh timber
easy
i realise idc that much baout overclocking on this ysstem
i just want off 16gb ram
wise wigeon
Like my other option is probably those two, I feel like I am limited to prebuild...
the 265 is fine
mental yoke
overclocking is pretty meh, just enable xmp or w/e and go
wise wigeon
its just not top tier
mental yoke
Like my other option is probably those two, I feel like I am limited to prebuild...
alienware doesnt have any amd models up yet?
fresh timber
overclocking is pretty meh, just enable xmp or w/e and go
I overclock my main rig, Xmp sucks
mental yoke
cool, i know nothing of it sorry
sweet phoenix
Like my other option is probably those two, I feel like I am limited to prebuild...
Theres the option of building a pc and getting a decent temporary gpu until you can get a decently priced high end gpu
Like a 5700xt for $90-140
gray kelp
alienware doesnt have any amd models up yet?
I see only intel on their website and the other PCS are like 4k+
wise wigeon
alienware doesnt have any amd models up yet?
mope
fresh timber
welp. i have enough for my nas to boot now
mental yoke
looks like origin doesnt have any amd either, lenovo maybe?
wise wigeon
gray kelp
I guess the deal from Dell is that I can get 10% off and 12% cash back
so its about 1960, but then, I cant upgrade cpu
mental yoke
id grab alienware without any issue personally
mental yoke
they are nice
wise wigeon
Why would anybody buy a Alienware
its an ok price
fresh timber
You mean disgusting
fresh timber
its an ok price
Wot
wise wigeon
not a good price, but ok
sweet phoenix
Alienwares have proprietary components and dog ass airflow
mental yoke
and they work
sweet phoenix
The only reason it's being considered is 5080 availability
fresh timber
The only reason it's being considered is 5080 availability
Rare gpu
gray kelp
other 5080 desktops i can find are like 2700+
sweet phoenix
and they work
If that's your standard for technology...
fresh timber
5090 works until it doesnāt
mental yoke
If that's your standard for technology...
it is actually lol
sweet phoenix
Thats laughable
wise wigeon
is intel as reliant on memory as amd?
mental yoke
its laughable to want the standard for my technology to be: turn on?
sweet phoenix
That build is likely locked to 5200-5600
mental yoke
cus it could be worse, it could not turn on
sweet phoenix
its laughable to want the standard for my technology to be: turn on?
Ignoring multiple issues with a brand/product because "it works", yes
wise wigeon
its laughable to want the standard for my technology to be: turn on?
its low standards for an expensive product
mental yoke
im ignoring the brand because the product works
sweet phoenix
Lmfao

have yall ever bought an alienware or just hating lol
wise wigeon
my first XTX turned on but its display ports were mangled, should i have kept it?
fresh timber
Baccas cpu āworkā
sweet phoenix
Dells mobos also have very high failure rates
gray kelp
I mean my budget is like 3k, should I just go ahead and buy something witih 9800x3d?
fresh timber
have yall ever bought an alienware or just hating lol
Why would I buy a Alienware in the first place
I can just build a pc my self
mental yoke
i dunno why would you comment about it then
wise wigeon
I mean my budget is like 3k, should I just go ahead and buy something witih 9800...
not if it tacks on 700 dollars
fresh timber
i dunno why would you comment about it then
Because I understand technology
mental yoke

fresh timber
@sweet phoenix bacca cpu is faulty due to the brands negligence, brand matters

Dell support SUCKS

the worst
fresh timber
I bought this instead

wise wigeon
I've never owned a cyber truck either
i saw a trailer with 5 cybertrucks being sent back today
sweet phoenix
I bought this instead
"I"
mental yoke
Literally the worst help line I've ever talked to
uve never called microsoft

cybertruck on its 8th major recall since release is wild
fresh timber
uve never called microsoft <:kekw:741678350791081994>
I never bought windows so I never had to
fresh timber

Amazing deal ngl

Soo.. what needed to be replaced

how does one screw up this badly
dusk knot
how does one screw up this badly
When was this
misty sparrow
and two, their decision to use stainless steel without the coating that prevents rust
sweet phoenix
Cost me $7000 for the car, registration and new tires
wise wigeon
When was this
literallt the last 2 days
sweet phoenix
how does one screw up this badly
LMAO
misty sparrow
what was the cybertruck made out of? aluminum or something?
random osprey
what was the cybertruck made out of? aluminum or something?
chassis i believe was made of aluminum vs what most trucks are, steel
misty sparrow
okay so aluminum
wise wigeon
what was the cybertruck made out of? aluminum or something?
with how many issues it has you would think lol
misty sparrow
its funny that they intentionally did not put that coating on the aluminum to prevent rust
so it rusts
wise wigeon
okay so aluminum
stainless steel
wise wigeon
stainless steel and it still rusts and stains to hell
wise wigeon
well, the big brands
define big brands
sweet phoenix
Thats $2000? No one
mental yoke
lenovo/hp dont

there is like a year gap in founding days

Pause croblems
wise wigeon
Walmart people canāt keep getting away with this
Even if it is I buy problems
$700 for a 7700 and 4070 is wack
mental yoke
that sounds like... a good deal?

But assume it isnāt an atrocious motherboard thangs can be fixed
velvet summit
damn i dont have the experience for this 
i cant have gordon ramsay as my boss š

Always check Walmart āopen boxā at the back of the electronics
Thereās gonna be a deal sometimes
fresh timber
I CAN KINDA RUN 4K 60
its more like 4k 30
o i was tabbed out thats why
7700xt is almost a 4k card, upscale and boom easy

drps to 70 mhh

F Denuvo. All my homies hate Denuvo.
I should Not have to RegEdit a machine to remove it.
tranquil pebble
I wonder what it would sound like if you converted the voltages from a random CPU pin to audio during full CPU load
I might have to do this with an 8-bit MCU for lulz
tranquil pebble
I should Not have to RegEdit a machine to remove it.
I wish Steam on Windows sandboxed every game like it does on Linux ngl
then you would never need to do such things
amber raptor
yeah. Pretty sure denuvo just straight up doesnt work on linux however.
tranquil pebble
Untrue
amber raptor
Suprising.
tranquil pebble
Denuvo games work fine under proton
amber raptor
Denuvo AC or Denuvo Copy Protection?
tranquil pebble
copy protection
amber raptor
Because i was dealing with Anti Cheat.
tranquil pebble
oh ac is probably different
amber raptor
Yeah. I dont see any reason the copy protection wouldnt work.
But dealing with sandboxing from an anticheat perspective seems nightmarish.
tranquil pebble
not when this exists
tranquil pebble
so it is very doable
amber raptor
Because for a long time many of them did not support linux at all.
Even hyper specific distros.
tranquil pebble
Glad to see Anti Cheats are starting to get more supportive of linux.
99% sure Valve had a lot to do with this
amber raptor
Wouldnt doubt it with the steam decks success.
tranquil pebble
yeah the Deck was a godsend for Linux gaming
Corpos suddently has a reason to care about it
amber raptor
Yeah. Looks like Denuvo Is supported on Proton and nothing else.
honest birch
ban genshin on all OSes
tranquil pebble
Well I suppose I could make a daemon that checks new processes for "Genshin" in the name and kills it if found
tranquil pebble
general shin impact
tranquil pebble
would be best OS ever
Knowing Linux though there is probably a config somewhere that could do something similar
mental yoke
they should embed genshin into all os's
like to start the os you have to do your dailies
craggy shoal
How hard is it to make an OS that you can buy a separate (physical) module that connects between your TV and desk setup. So when you want to game "on the couch" you can switch it to a simulated "docked mode" and vice versa for when you want to use the PC at your desk?
"Bazzite OS exists" yeah but I want that module š
craggy shoal
I even put "(physical)" in the explanation and this guy still thinks Iām talking about software
Man what
mortal grail
That makes it better imo cos it has zero susceptibility to burn in
craggy shoal
an "OS module" sounds like a PC to me
Bro don't make me draw out what Iām trying to explain lol
mortal grail
250-350 nit is safe for woled
craggy shoal
an "OS module" sounds like a PC to me
tranquil pebble
I even put "(physical)" in the explanation and this guy still thinks Iām talking...
physical and OS does not compute
craggy shoal
Yeah thatās not how I said it lol
Man imma really have to draw it out
PC and ANOTHER PHYSICAL DEVICE (basically a docking station) that the OS is compatible with that makes switching between couch and desk mode easy
tranquil pebble
yeah because I can not interpret the way you stated that
mortal grail
Start drawin
craggy shoal
Start drawin
UR MOTHER
tranquil pebble
if it has a swear in the url it will do that
anyways in terms of the dock... it would be trivial to have a PC recognize that you connected it to a TV and react accordingly
craggy shoal
Okay
Brb gonna go invent it real quick
Because Heaven forbid we have some modularity in this world
wise wigeon
best buy trying to sell XTXs for 1250 is hilarious

@mortal grail something got here š

@mortal grail you test drive the xt yet?
mortal grail
Ye
mortal grail

Damn that's a clean kit
sweet phoenix
Wait i just realized that psu is modular
mortal grail
@wise wigeon full power burn test, at 1800 rpm I couldn't hear the card at all over my other pc fans
sweet phoenix
This the 9070xt?
mortal grail
Yeah the pulse is actually excellent
sweet phoenix
Enjoy your overclocking
mortal grail
Big improvement considering 4 years ago even their best models weren't too quiet
acoustic palm
Damn that's a clean kit
Thanks
mortal grail
<@162939811261448192> full power burn test, at 1800 rpm I couldn't hear the card...

wise wigeon
<@162939811261448192> full power burn test, at 1800 rpm I couldn't hear the card...
i'm a bit if a noise freak but this is def the card with the least noticable whine
wise wigeon
i have to get real close to hear it and thats when i'm uncapped
acoustic palm
Wait i just realized that psu is modular
What does modular even mean
mortal grail
Even if I get a better price show up I'm not swapping this sample
Lol
It'd have to be way better than msrp
wise wigeon
What does modular even mean
pick and choose the cables you use vs having them preinstalled and non removable
acoustic palm
Ohhhh
mortal grail
Sapphire really impressed me with this card
wise wigeon
how were the mem temps
acoustic palm
Doesnāt really affect me then
wise wigeon
just at stock depends on the game for me but for a game like wilds it haver mid to low 80s
hover*
and sometimes it creeps up higher for a bit
mortal grail
how were the mem temps
Same as hotspot, 82
wise wigeon
whats your ambient?
mortal grail
Taking aio air in as well so it was at a disadvantage
mortal grail
whats your ambient?
Redundant cos case temps influenced by aio intake
wise wigeon
fair
mortal grail
Case ambient would've been like 30-40C

just get a good pair of cans in general

Pc38x/game one

hd 6xxs would be better
mortal grail
Op set
pliant berry
unimaginable horrors are racing through my mind

6xx good too
wise wigeon
wired or wireless

Unimaginable fps is racing through my mind

wired
only for pc
right now i use my buds 3 pro everywhere
great sound quality but my ears ring
pliant berry
6xx is nice
pseudo raven
and latency
worthy meteor
want closed back or open back
pseudo raven
open i think?
worthy meteor
what's your planned budget
pseudo raven
but i think id be good with either
dusk knot
Unimaginable fps is racing through my mind
damn. we might have to hook up your brain to a PC

like over 300
wise wigeon
i got like acidic sweat man my cups are peeling after a year
pseudo raven
probably like 350
pseudo raven
haha
acoustic palm

apple to apple comparison
wise wigeon
you think thats better than like a bose qc ultra
those are wireless headphones
pliant berry
sennheiser had a few other lower midrange options like hd560s or something iirc
wise wigeon
you can
pseudo raven
i looked them up on rtings
wise wigeon
they come with a 3.5 to 3.5
pseudo raven
they need to be powered on even when wired
and latency is still like 40ms for some reason
wise wigeon
oh did they remove the cable vs the qc45
pliant berry
yeah wireless headphones wired is not always a great experience
pseudo raven
the sony wf1000 whatevers
are good wired though
like 0.4ms latency or something wired
wise wigeon
pseudo raven
they need to be powered on even when wired
you can use them wired but
wise wigeon
unless of course you mean with anc enabled
looks like the ultra had some weird choices
wise wigeon
unlike previous generations it has to be on and it has anc on by default
mortal grail
At 35ms you pass that 60ms barrier into noticeable latency with a pc's 50~ odd ms delay
I feel like you'd notice that
frigid stag
honestly 35ms is ok
š¬
pseudo raven
lmao
wise wigeon
i'm personally fine with my qc45s but ultras are weird it seems
dusk knot
honestly 35ms is ok
true
pseudo raven
yeah im leaning toward the 6xx as well atm
wise wigeon
6xx come with leather alternative?
pseudo raven
anything wireless is 70+ lol
pliant berry
umm there are 3rd parties that sell replacement pads
frigid stag
wtf lol
damn
wise wigeon
idk about ya'll but plush cups is gross after a while
pseudo raven
nvm scratch that
you can get it down to 30
but nothing compared to wired with like sub 1ms lol
wise wigeon
i need that breathable stuff
pseudo raven
yeah im sure theres plenty of replacement
options available on amazon and aliexpress and anywhere else
wise wigeon
think im just too used to wireless now
frigid stag
š„±
wise wigeon
its nice to just stand up and walk away
but the options are so slim with nice ones
that arent egregiously expensive
frigid stag
So glad I learned from my friend and got these instead of believing random bs from forums from people who donāt know and havenāt tested it
pseudo raven
yeah ]
pliant berry
idk about ya'll but plush cups is gross after a while
I think the 6xx stock pads are velour. last a pretty long time too
pliant berry
not necessarily
wise wigeon
I think the 6xx stock pads are velour. last a pretty long time too
they are available for replacements pads
nvm the site was on a different pad for some reason
still velour is just it just soaks everything up
pseudo raven
audeze maxwell
pliant berry
idk I have 2 fabric headphones I've used for years and at least in the case of hd6xx the only wear is some hair and fuzz that gets stuck to them
frigid stag
Snr mainly
misty sparrow
my headphones used that fake leather stuff and it peeled so now i don't use them anymore
pliant berry
audeze maxwell
maxwells can be nice for convenience but the mic quality is not very good and at least I personally don't prefer them for music. they aren't very bass heavy
misty sparrow
now i use the basic apple earbuds that used to come with iphones

my headphones used that fake leather stuff and it peeled so now i don't use them...
i mean real leather peels too

now i use the basic apple earbuds that used to come with iphones
i cant find the doingle for the life of me in person
pseudo raven
maxwells can be nice for convenience but the mic quality is not very good and at...
ah
yeah i realize i dont really want gaming headphones
just regular good headphones that have low enough latency
so 6xx is the first thing ill try i guess
pliant berry
the maxwells do have pretty good latency though. I usually end up whipping those out whenever I am in a call on my computer

The senny pad material is quite ok honestly
craggy shoal
Fabric > leather
pliant berry
imo the biggest problem with leather pads is the heat
craggy shoal
That and they break easier than fabric in my experience
mortal grail
For me it's when they start to crack and break
craggy shoal
I've gone through like two sets of leather pads with my Sennheisers
pliant berry
tbh the last pair of leather padded headphones I used were by focal. idk if they had issues with cracking but I definitely remember it being a problem on lower end headphones I've tried
wise wigeon
For me it's when they start to crack and break
it sucks, but i feel like they're way more comfy than velour
mortal grail
Yeah if they are in the sun at all they'll start to wear
They're more comfy sure
More plush
Also much hotter to wear
Winrar apparently is what I said lmao
wise wigeon
bose just has comfy ass headphones
its why i went bose over sony
my issue with velour is it just soaks everything up and at a point its just grimy feeling to me
i used plantronics heaphones for like 4 years and those were just so gross after a year
wise wigeon
At least it's not foam IEMs lol
those are gross
craggy shoal
š
wise wigeon
i cant use tip iems anymore man my ears get too itchy
pliant berry
I was able to use dekoni foam tips for my airpods for about a year until I took em off
some of them your might? be able to clean but idk
craggy shoal
I got a $20 set of Moondrops and I could never fit them in my ears. Yeah I know I need better tips but I just never got new tips š
Heavy IEMs and the tips they come with isn't a good combo. They sound good though
pliant berry
were they too small?
craggy shoal
They actually came with a couple different tips. They're just not flexible
Stiff ear tips. They don't fit very nice
My AirPods Pro gen 2 fit very nice. The Moondrops don't lol
pliant berry
time for custom
craggy shoal
lolll
Nah I just need to get some foam tips to see if it's even the tips (just to be sure, ya know?)
tranquil pebble
this is why I hate Google. It can not even get such a simple thing right anymore. lol
craggy shoal
(So I have IEMs that work)
pliant berry
some of the cheaper tips don't have that soft silicone feel the airpods have
wise wigeon
this is why I hate Google. It can not even get such a simple thing right anymore...
were you looking at 5 recently?
this is what i get when i search up 4
huh what were the general rules for pics?
people have different definitions of nsfw so like idk if just showing stomach is "nsfw"
limber crane
anything can be nsfw depending on who sees it š
wise wigeon
exactly
limber crane
but i also dont understand who's chilling on reddit/discord on their work machines
i do it on my phone where its not visible
but im also in a cube pod against a wall so i can hear people coming
pliant berry
well naht is
wise wigeon
ok well we'll see
limber crane
just spoiler tag it
wise wigeon
someone was just posting about their glamour progression to the darkside in wilds
pretty drastic aesthetic shift
pliant berry
also I mean as long as it is considered pg it's fine
mortal grail
That's pg
wise wigeon
i would consider it pg too but you never know with some people
there is a reason why showing shoulders is banned in some states for school
mortal grail
i would consider it pg too but you never know with some people
I would take the degree of discretion to do with the nature of its depiction
So like
As the character is just standing there
limber crane
there is a reason why showing shoulders is banned in some states for school
i mean in some countries you cant even show your face š¬
mortal grail
It's whatever
It's just an outfit with a bit exposed
But if they were in certain poses?
pliant berry
uniforms are nice
limber crane
its also a terrile looking armor set, that should disqualify it as nsfw
mortal grail
Ok now we're approaching the line
velvet summit
the design is very human
mortal grail
Just the stomach tho isn't enough imo
craggy shoal
It's basically a crop top lol
wise wigeon
look man people be a lil freaky

wise wigeon
some people be thinking about licking belly buttons so

some people be thinking about licking belly buttons so
better than licking feet/armpits

i watch these trackers all day, your best chance at getting any MSRP card is through watching stock trackers
your best bet for overpaying for components is prebuilt

I mean if it's all wilds it's likely ok
No need to dm

your best bet for overpaying for components is prebuilt
how much do you think id be overpaying on this for 2620? like 30%?
limber crane
Oh yeah, Giga has a $999 card too

how much do you think id be overpaying on this for 2620? like 30%?
About 26% over getting a properly priced 5080 system

i would never buy a computer that doesnt tell me the brand/model of the motherboard, ram, psu, etc
limber crane
prebuilts rely on using the cheapest components to get the max profit
I overpaid for the build I am doing, but I actually got to choose everything I want. And at a small premium and i dont have to rely on some minimum wage andy assembling my PC

I overplayed slightly for some things, but only in total like 100-150$
pliant berry
i sent my friend in denmark a box of spices and shipping was $100, never again
yup, whenever we send things to family overseas we usually send it with someone going to the area or just wait until we have a bunch of things to send all at once
limber crane
@gray kelp ultimately it's your money, but if your goal is to spend responsibly, that ain't it
limber crane
I overplayed slightly for some things, but only in total like 100-150$
I think I worked it out to be around $250 I overpaid realistically
gray kelp
technically i was given budget of 5k but I decided to lower it to 3k
wise wigeon
man i thought i liked my boxes too much but
limber crane
Is it your parents money?

We now see in real time a person who sidegraded then realised nvidia was stupid so went team red
That whole wall tells a story rofl
He should've put his cpu box up instead of the 4070
dense locust
blue is better tho
mortal grail
Ironically I've spent way more on green than blue or red tho
My entire green spending is like some 3 to 1
limber crane
@gray kelp for me personally, part of the reason I chose to overpay a bit was because I don't want to watch stock trackers for the next three months trying to get lucky. So it's entirely down to you, but if you ask for opinions we will give it
dense locust

If you want some good advice zaxx, keep asking here if the prebuilts are good
We might keep bashing them
dense locust
1080 to 4k is an upgrade
wise wigeon
lots of prebuilts arent very good
mortal grail
You don't know without asking first
So by all means keep hunting, and watch #tech-deals as well
unreal trail
I wonder if there has been any leaks on Warthunder forums lately
limber crane
I guess another question is how comfortable are you with building your own machine
wise wigeon
mostly its just the pure value for some that make them good
and do you really need a 5080 is another thing
dense locust
prebuilts? just make sure the components are proprietary for maximum lost value
gray kelp
I will have to keep watching tech deals, i want some decent monitors
mortal grail
I mean prebuilts are just mainly scaled for poor pricing. But paying a couple hundred to have it prebuilt is ok
limber crane
They never tell you what half the components are for a reason lol
mortal grail
You get a warranty, and a lot of prebuilt brands don't skimp like they used to
wise wigeon
i mean those 1400 dollar 4080S prebuilts from costco were nuts
mortal grail
They never tell you what half the components are for a reason lol
Oh yeah for sure, but nowadays you definitely get a usable part
So yeah keep hunting, keep asking
You will find something eventually
wise wigeon
if you live near a costco ask around
you can get disp[lay models for heavy discounts
gray kelp
I checked costco the other day and they only had the weaker ones
and online wasnt restocked for ages

What cpu/GPU are coming from?
the costco one is like 4060... but my gpu is 1080ti
mortal grail
I feel like I broke you after you swapped the 7900XT lmao
opaque sedge
Yh
limber crane
the costco one is like 4060... but my gpu is 1080ti
So yeah, it'll be a pretty big upgrade for you
mortal grail
You won in the end
opaque sedge
I feel like I broke you after you swapped the 7900XT lmao
Nah the 9070xt did that
mortal grail
Lol
mortal grail
the costco one is like 4060... but my gpu is 1080ti
Such a based gpu
wise wigeon
eh 9070xt kinda of unobtainium outside of bundles for the states rn
mortal grail
Yeah 4060 is not an upgrade
opaque sedge
the costco one is like 4060... but my gpu is 1080ti
Costco could also have managers discounts on display models try asking around it prolly might be worth the effort when it comes to computer hardware
Considering how expensive it is
dense locust
wise wigeon
Yeah 4060 is not an upgrade
i mean the vram is worse but aint it generally faster
gray kelp
why was I offered bigger discount AFTER I made an order lmfao
wise wigeon
not that i'd upgrade like that
mortal grail
i mean the vram is worse but aint it generally faster
Not enough
Exactly
It is faster by like 15%
Which turns to nothing cos 1080ti overclocks like a mofo
pseudo raven
damn the 1080 ti was one hell of a card lol
wise wigeon
upgrades are like at least 30+ at least for me h
dense locust
The fact that itās faster than a 1080ti is interesting from a historical standpoint
But yeah it isnāt worth it to upgrade from a 1080to
mortal grail
damn the 1080 ti was one hell of a card lol
There's a reason everyone meme's about it being so good
wise wigeon
i was gonna do more school work but i have a headache
pseudo raven
id probably do like at least 50%
mortal grail
Hell I'd still like a 1080Ti
gray kelp
So yeah, it'll be a pretty big upgrade for you
So after the order, I get a bigger cashback... the order wasnt processed yet so I cancelled.
mortal grail
It'd be one of my slowest cards but it's just so legendary

2288 is borderline ok

1900 for all I said already

But that's borderline fine imo
Prebuilts are hard to find well priced
