I love 9070xt

[devout forum]

It is a good card

Prices are still bloated tho

[acoustic palm]

I got mine for 670 then my parents paid for 300$ if it

[dusk knot]

I really didn’t like him. What a crybaby who didn’t think things through well enough

[sinful blade]

100% just a story piece

That’s it
Created to move the story forward

[dusk knot]

Smh

Season 3 wasn’t good enough

[sinful blade]

Last episode was great

But the entire season felt like a bit of filler

[devout forum]

@dusk knot @sinful blade I have now seen it all

That is utterly rarted

[dusk knot]

How much is that in USD?

[devout forum]

A lot more than it is worth

[devout forum]

Give or take 9200

The good news

Jensen wasn't wrong about 10000 dollar battle stations

[devout forum]

It doesn't even include peripherals lmfao

[dusk knot]

Still....

[devout forum]

Oh that's just for the tower
No peripherals at all

No desk, chair, monitor, keeb, mouse, headphones or personal concierge

[sinful blade]

What in the hell

[devout forum]

Exactly

I'm fairly sure I can build a PC that's faster in games for like

Half
Maybe even a third

[velvet summit]

I've been watching this one girl eat a single thing of yogurt (you know those small single serve containers) for like
Somehow like 20 minutes probably

[restive yarrow]

Wat

[velvet summit]

How did that tiny container last 20 minutes

[rough zinc]

Id buy it

[frigid stag]

🤔 🤨

[velvet summit]

I was on a train for context

She was in front of me

[restive yarrow]

Creeper alert 🚨

[frigid stag]

😭

[velvet summit]

[sinful blade]

[velvet summit]

It's kinda hard to not notice someone constantly eating yogurt when you have nowhere else to move to

[dusk knot]

12000 then

[brazen dome]

Its it an endless container? Or does it have a hidden trap door/hose underneath with unlimited yogurt?

[proud jackal]

It's national burrito day

[velvet summit]

Magic

[brazen dome]

ofc i should've known

🤔

[dusk knot]

Funny how a bunch of my coworkers came up to me to tell them my opinion on the switch two. They're not happy lol

[proud jackal]

Your opinions suck

Tell them that

And to go back to work

Or you'll tell the supervisor

[hoary zodiac]

Bot has some balls posting that in front of two mods

[dense locust]

They are automated

[dusk knot]

Loooollllll. Wise, Theo. Wise

[proud jackal]

THEY ARE RUINING WORKPLACE EFFICIENCY

WE ARENT A GAMESTOP

[hoary zodiac]

What if your switch is too slow

Get a faster switch

[dusk knot]

They're gone now

[hoary zodiac]

I had a joke about network switches but it's 6AM

Le humour center of le brain is not working properly

Lmfao

The switch 2 runs cyberpunk at 30-40fps depending on the mode.. just by a steamdeck

Can’t deck run 60 fps

Zzz

[median frigate]

Yall think 6800xt is solid still

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[median frigate]

Could get one for 300$ atm

Either that or a 5070 for 550$

[dense locust]

They 100% prioritized graphics

[dusk knot]

I think that's at the same level as a 3080

In 2025....no

If you play older games then it's a good choice

[frigid stag]

So a 5070

Same performance

More or less

[dusk knot]

Ew

Any 70 series sucks

[frigid stag]

1070, 2070, 3070 🗿

[dusk knot]

They're not built to last till next gen lol

[frigid stag]

4070 ti super

[dusk knot]

After 30 series

I had a 3070, wasn't good enough

[frigid stag]

How

[dusk knot]

Shuffle

Won two of them

This was during the pandemic

[frigid stag]

ah

I mean that should’ve been fine for gaming

Unless you run 4k 240hz or whatever

[dusk knot]

1440p

[hoary zodiac]

What if you solder a burrito shut using cheese

[dusk knot]

Solder lol

It would make it tastier

[proud jackal]

Must be nice to win.

[dusk knot]

You win all the time

You'll win a 5090 soon

By then they'll be better drivers

And less issues

Good things come to those who wait

[frigid stag]

Games just run well except warzone at 4k didnt get as high fps as I expected

[dusk knot]

I can tell you don't care about ray tracing

[frigid stag]

Oh ye

Only in older games

Newer games would be running at like 40 fps or less

Of I turned on rt

[dusk knot]

Yeah. Nowadays, the 2080ti would die

Unbelievable

The more you buy, the more you save doesn't exist

😔

[hoary zodiac]

Unironically that is the most moronic statement ever made considering that it's the TECH MARKET

[frigid stag]

I mean cyberpunk worked on 4k high ish with rt

[misty sparrow]

ray tracing is like a girl who brags about her looks at age 19 only to have them fade by age 25

[hoary zodiac]

The tech moves so fast

[misty sparrow]

not worth it

[hoary zodiac]

You can spend more yeah

But next gen will see a gpu that's double the performance for like 75% of the price

Jensen propaganda is insane

[dusk knot]

True....old style ray tracing looks meh now

You know.....it depends on the scene

And if I'm aware cyberpunk still has baked in light sources mixed in with Ray tracing

[nocturne flicker]

New Nvidia tiering scheme: Every gen the products shift 1 tier. Down

[hoary zodiac]

The problem with ray tracing

[dusk knot]

This

😆

[hoary zodiac]

Is that some times they're not even necessary

[misty sparrow]

I barely even notice ray tracing anyway

I prefer more frames than ray tracing

[hoary zodiac]

The way devs are implementing it right now is a waste of processing power

[dusk knot]

I see it

[dusk knot]

Barely makes some games better

[hoary zodiac]

You can have pre-baked lighting that looks as good as some "ray tracing"

Like if you're not going to take full advantage of RT why waste the processing power

I hate modern game dev mindset

[dusk knot]

3080 is just weak now.

[nocturne flicker]

Every game must be powered by AI

[hoary zodiac]

Ray tracing is just another mechanism in the slop factory

It's not being used as intended it's being used to make slop

[nocturne flicker]

Skyrim AI edition

[hoary zodiac]

Morrowind AI

[nocturne flicker]

Fallout 4 but we replaced the dialogue with AI generated content. And somehow it improved the quality

[hoary zodiac]

Morrowind NPC

[misty sparrow]

If AI worked correctly, a game where NPCs were powered by ChatGPT would be cool

[hoary zodiac]

See AI is good

People who use AI are stupid

[misty sparrow]

you do something in the game world and the NPCs react to it by dialogue on the fly

[hoary zodiac]

Like you have this tool right here and you're wasting it to make slop

Like really?

[misty sparrow]

nuke Megaton in Fallout 3 and everybody comments about it

would be funny

[dusk knot]

What GPU?

[frigid stag]

3080 12gb

Again

[hoary zodiac]

Absolute morons do not see what AI can actually do for games

For procedurally generated RPGs that'd be sick

[frigid stag]

It’s The vram 😬

[dusk knot]

My 3080ti got the same performance

[hoary zodiac]

But no

[nocturne flicker]

My character: I hate you and think your group is stupid
Preston: Okay. But just in case you don't think that...

[hoary zodiac]

"AI art"

[frigid stag]

Well it is “supreme textures” but wtf this is messed up

[hoary zodiac]

Average Bethesda NPC

[frigid stag]

It can work better

[hoary zodiac]

Bethesda when making a new RPG:
How do we make the game less like an RPG?

[frigid stag]

Just have to not use the special textures

[hoary zodiac]

Sounds Chinese

I say that because if you hop on a chinese fourm

[nocturne flicker]

I mean, Nasdaq is stinky

[hoary zodiac]

They just type random numbers and strings of letters

And it somehow makes sense to them

[nocturne flicker]

QQQ is a Nasdaq 100 index

[hoary zodiac]

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-they-mean-random-numbers-gif-10654449

[hoary zodiac]

WHAT IS THE REFERENCE AHH

[frigid stag]

How much did u lose

[misty sparrow]

A good name for a sandwich

[hoary zodiac]

Text "666" to a Chinese person and they'll be rolling on the floor laughing

Chinese slang is something else

[nocturne flicker]

I'll be losing about 4-5% of my US market today, which is about 60% of my portfolio. The rest is international and is going to down about 1-2%

[hoary zodiac]

Invest in theocoin

[misty sparrow]

Take your grandmother’s life savings and invest it all in Intel

[fresh timber]

Too much

[frigid stag]

Ik a guy who makes his money in similar ways

[hoary zodiac]

I would unironically invest in intel

They're up to something

[frigid stag]

he could probably be a lot richer but the investments don’t work out

[nocturne flicker]

Intel went up 2% today

[hoary zodiac]

Rich people on their way to speedrun being poor

[frigid stag]

If he invested in nvidia early he would

Nvidia employees who started in like 2019 are millionaires now probably

From the stocks they get

[hoary zodiac]

Do they get bonuses in shares or something

[frigid stag]

Yea iirc

They get shares when they start the company or something iirc

[hoary zodiac]

With the AI boom

[frigid stag]

Mhm

[hoary zodiac]

Those employees are loaded

[misty sparrow]

24k karat gold toilet with bidet that plays classical music

[hoary zodiac]

Especially the engineers

[hoary zodiac]

Bidet toilet?

[misty sparrow]

yeah like those Japanese toilets

no toilet paper needed

[hoary zodiac]

Is it at a ski resort as well?

[hoary zodiac]

Would that make it

A ski bidet toilet

[nocturne flicker]

Golf resort

[misty sparrow]

It’s probably on a remote island

[hoary zodiac]

Epstein island

[misty sparrow]

Wrong island

[frigid stag]

My thoughts immediately lol

[hoary zodiac]

Heligoland

[nocturne flicker]

Close enough tho

[misty sparrow]

I’d set up my toilet like Rick from that one episode of Rick & Morty, just place it down on a remote island

[hoary zodiac]

Set it up in the north sentinel islands

Underrated villain, shoulda been in more movies

[fresh timber]

Fr

[misty sparrow]

instead he’s in a filler Avengers movie

[nocturne flicker]

It is 2025 all of them are filler

[misty sparrow]

no, all of them were empty

[hoary zodiac]

That's why I watch 90-2010s shows

[misty sparrow]

filler means there’s enjoyable content but it’s unnecessary

empty means there’s unenjoyable content that’s left skipped

[frigid stag]

I haven’t seen a single avengers film in 2025

[misty sparrow]

They should’ve gone a while without making any Marvel films

[frigid stag]

They did

[misty sparrow]

Covid doesn’t count

[frigid stag]

Last was 2019 iirc

End game was meant to be the last

[hoary zodiac]

marvel is a slop factory

[misty sparrow]

you mean Disney

[nocturne flicker]

Filler doesn't mean enjoyable content, filler just means padding content

[hoary zodiac]

that's why I watched Babylon 5 in 2024 instead of any of the new shows

[nocturne flicker]

Regardless of quality

[hoary zodiac]

that show is like 2 decades old but if it was made today it'd become a global sensation

[misty sparrow]

Truman Show is also a great film

Underappreciated

somehow, it didn’t win any Oscars

[hoary zodiac]

the oscars are rigged

[fresh timber]

@sweet phoenix ima try getting am5 before tariff maybe,

[hoary zodiac]

Didn't they give an oscar to emily in paris?

💀

[misty sparrow]

They gave one to Emilia Perez

[royal crow]

clcikbait😂

[fresh timber]

its ass

its a nintetndo console, dont ever call nintendo decent

locked down ahh console

[frigid stag]

120hz though

[fresh timber]

and?

just buy a stteamdeck

oled one

[hoary zodiac]

@opaque sedge do you like chicken tendies?

[frigid stag]

Steam deck is 60 no?

[fresh timber]

oled is 90

[frigid stag]

Oh

[fresh timber]

also name atleast 5 games that run 120 on the switch

at native res

its only 720p 120 and not like it tmatters

[frigid stag]

Idk

[fresh timber]

excatly

u dont need 120 on a switch

spend $100 on this

alot better value

this is. justalot bettret value if ur on budget

[frigid stag]

Hmm

[fresh timber]

i honestly kinda want it but knowing me it will be too slow

fun fact the new switch + the 1tb sd cards they want u to buy =

just buy steamdeck

if u buy new switch i will make fun of you

[dense locust]

Steam deck too outdated

[fresh timber]

how?

[dense locust]

Wait for new steam deck

[fresh timber]

*the new switch should be slower

im not buying it anyways

[dense locust]

The games won’t be cheaper

[fresh timber]

the fact the steamdeck has a verson cheaper than it too just get a deck avoid the overpriced nintendo

[fresh timber]

if i had the cash i would make a impulse purchase

[frigid stag]

Good for resale

[dense locust]

[frigid stag]

Make some money off it

[fresh timber]

a 3090 would look nice in my build

[hoary zodiac]

I'd sell a whole pc

[frigid stag]

6900xt xh might be faster tbh

[fresh timber]

sometimes i debate just selling my entire rig and making an new one +500

[hoary zodiac]

Imagine how cheap of a pc you can build with this

[fresh timber]

if i got $1000 for my build and added $500, $1500 pc with the same case and look would be hard ngl

[hoary zodiac]

You can sell a 1K build for 2.5K probably

[dense locust]

Also we dont know if this is true

[frigid stag]

Ye zoomers will but it if it has rgb

[sinful blade]

That isn’t bad at all

[fresh timber]

we do looking at specs and leaks

and the fact it runs cyberpunk at 30-40fps

pretty sure steamdeck does better

[dense locust]

Doesn’t mean anything

We don’t know the visual settings

[frigid stag]

Makes sense given all the fortnite kids were buying up 1650 pcs for like 1400

[fresh timber]

u wanna spend $20 a month for voice chat?

$80-90 for a game?

[dense locust]

I already have nso

If I do get a switch 2 I’ll just play indie games on it

[fresh timber]

worthless

steamdeck and indie games 🗣️

[dense locust]

Switch 1 was an indie powerhouse

[fresh timber]

i hate mines

u want it

i have more fun on my ps5

[dense locust]

Which one you got

[dense locust]

With the 3 games it has?

[fresh timber]

og one u can jailbreak

broken rail tho,

Wtf

[fresh timber]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE nv5

[lone mango]

Their hmb is pretty good

I have ine

[fresh timber]

i dont think i can ever sell my pc if i cant even get the same case

[silk sonnet]

…

[worn night]

Prob the same thing that happened to the musetex tw8

[worn night]

asrock b650m pro rs

[dense locust]

Chat

[worn night]

Or the gigabyte b650m gaming plus wifi

[silk sonnet]

That’s the one I was looking at

It’s out of stock on Amazon

[dense locust]

Does this socket look alright

[lone mango]

Yeah

[worn night]

yes

[dusk knot]

Ye

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9HTZxr/gigabyte-b650m-gaming-plus-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-gaming-plus-wf

[dense locust]

Ok I’ll let y’all know if it fries my cpu

[frigid stag]

Asrock activities

[lone mango]

The debris thing is fake. There was debris on the socket because of the cpu cooking

Not because they shipped it with crumbs inside

[worn night]

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b650m-pro-rs-wifi-micro-atx-amd-b650-am5/p/N82E16813162131 then do newegg

[lone mango]

So there will be debris when you ship it back for them to clean and then say “everything is fine”

[silk sonnet]

Thanks

[silk sonnet]

The gigabyte one is available

[worn night]

I've built with it, its quality

and has good wifi

[dense locust]

Who buys matx anyways

[silk sonnet]

Cool

[dense locust]

[worn night]

the budget ballers

my first mobo was the b660m pro rs

[dense locust]

So itx is expensive atx expensive
And matx is cheap? Is that how it goes

[worn night]

i'm now rocking a strix z690e

[frigid stag]

Ye see that’s the thing

[sweet phoenix]

Bad

[worn night]

Yeah in order of least expensive its matx, then atx, then itx (then eatx)

[sweet phoenix]

Don't buy that mobo, it's one of the worst am5 boards

[fresh timber]

cmatx is good

[worn night]

Cap

I used it

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcbRsY/asrock-b650m-pro-rs-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-pro-rs-wifi

[worn night]

where have you found this info

[sweet phoenix]

It has some of the worst vrms on am5.

It can barely power a 7600x without throttling lmao

[worn night]

that was the next one I recommended

[sweet phoenix]

Pro rs is miles better

[worn night]

i built a pc with 7600x and easily handled above 5ghz

[sweet phoenix]

If wifi isn't needed
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3VYfrH/asrock-b850m-pro-a-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b850m-pro-a

[worn night]

that looks worse

[sweet phoenix]

That doesn't mean the vrms aren't throttling, and running very hot

[sweet phoenix]

Looks mean nothing

[worn night]

then tell him to get the asrock one

[sweet phoenix]

I did lol

[dense locust]

[fresh timber]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZZqRMC I make the worst list based off my persoanl prefrences id waste my money on this if i sold my rig for like $1300 or something

[frigid stag]

Why the skull emoji

[sweet phoenix]

$320 7700x hurts me

[frigid stag]

Probably placeholder price

[worn night]

a 20 series in 2025

[sweet phoenix]

And he's on a budget lmao

[frigid stag]

~~ better than arc~~

[sweet phoenix]

It being 20 series doesn't change its a decent 1080p card

Still better than a 3060 12gb

[fresh timber]

lol when i get the money in my account ill list on facebook marketplace after i secure transportation

[sweet phoenix]

Ehh

Not comfortably

[fresh timber]

my rx6600 does 1440p

[dense locust]

Don’t y’all use a $480 cpu for your $250 gpu?

[fresh timber]

looks at my stuff

pretty sure my cpu at one point went for more than my gpu is

[frigid stag]

So much value

[fresh timber]

currently my cpu does cost less

[frigid stag]

I’m getting another gpu upgrade out of this cpu

[dense locust]

[sweet phoenix]

Pain

[worn night]

when i first built i used a 200 dollar cpu with an 80 dollar gpu

[fresh timber]

@acoustic palm i see u typing

[dense locust]

9950x3d + pretariffed 5090

[fresh timber]

anwyays, i wonder if i could convice some random timmy to buy my rig for $1500

[acoustic palm]

I wanna puke looking at that

[frigid stag]

No

It’s optimal

[fresh timber]

ima look at marketplace lel for similar builds

[acoustic palm]

My gpu cost… 3.5x my cpu

[fresh timber]

lmfaooooooo

[dense locust]

Mine is 2.979166666…x

[fresh timber]

5600x+5080

perfect combo

[worn night]

intel celeron 1st generation with rtx 6000 pro

[fresh timber]

unironicly i could make a 5080 build if i sold my rig

[acoustic palm]

Mines 3.35 on the dot

[dense locust]

If we talking 5600x it would be 28.6x

[frigid stag]

Wrong game

[dusk knot]

Fr

[dense locust]

Ima move my stock amd cooler to cool 9800x3d just gotta undervolt it

[dense locust]

Ez

[frigid stag]

I see no reason to upgrade cpu just yet

[fresh timber]

@acoustic palm how much u think i should list my build for

[frigid stag]

this beats zen 2 XDDDD

[fresh timber]

im thinking $1500, if i can get $1300 for easy profit + new pc

[frigid stag]

By like almost 2x

[acoustic palm]

Why is apex on dx11 when it has dx12

[dusk knot]

The guy should upgrade his CPU first

[median frigate]

My friend gave me a challenge make a pc that out performs his ps5 for the same size and price

Yall think it's possible?

[fresh timber]

mid game

[nocturne flicker]

Okay, I only lost 3.94% bois, buying the market gave me some extra protection

[fresh timber]

i love facebook market place showing me deals in chicago

im not drving to chicago

[sweet phoenix]

With used parts maybe

New hell no

[fresh timber]

same size

looking at a itx build

you need a 10.5l build or smaller to compete with the ps5 slim

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K7gB74

[opaque sedge]

Chick fil a ones are ok ig

[fresh timber]

7500f, hell youo could go 3700x+a op gpu if u get cheap cheap

[sweet phoenix]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YbZJqH

Two options

[fresh timber]

512gb gb ssd doesnt really compare

they got 1tb in them

[dusk knot]

I wouldn't do a 3700x 😬

As a former owner, it sucked

[fresh timber]

if ur trying to match ps5 woudlnt u wanna match its cpu and go all in on gpu

[sweet phoenix]

5600 used or from aliexpress would be a better choice

[fresh timber]

5600 would mogg

[sweet phoenix]

3700x is pretty mediocre by todays standards

[dusk knot]

Yes, by todays standards

Ahem

[fresh timber]

umm. im playing fortnite at high presnt pulling 300fps.. wtf changed

what did they do to imrpove fps

[dusk knot]

More IPCs

[fresh timber]

my ipc hasnt changed..

[dusk knot]

More Cache

[fresh timber]

that never changed

[dusk knot]

IPC is what matters

[fresh timber]

... 318.. high... on this map i get this fps at low

now i get 400 at low. ooo

[dusk knot]

If that is the only game you play, then there's no need for an upgrade

[fresh timber]

im not that weird

i just got on to see the new update

also i upgrade off want not need

[frigid stag]

Old one

[fresh timber]

OOO is cod open yet

[acoustic palm]

Damn

collectors item

id put it in my 2nd rig too so it gets use

[acoustic palm]

Why was my conference at the worst time bro

[honest birch]

a 6800 is worth less

[dusk knot]

Still

[honest birch]

[fresh timber]

evga 6800?

aint no way u can get a 6800 for $250 lowest iv seen 3060ti so far from evga

[honest birch]

evga cards were mid unless they with the higherend ones

[fresh timber]

they look fire

[honest birch]

the 3060 tis werent anything special

[fresh timber]

i littrely only want it cause its evga and its not total ewaste in 2025

ugghhh im about to cry at that nice card

if i had the chance at a evga 3090 i would get it

within reason

ehh

these look.. weird

wait isnt that a rgb strip

[honest birch]

they all have that wavy crap

[fresh timber]

i like the wavey

the rgb difuser was throwing me off

[honest birch]

i had an evga 1660 super

[frigid stag]

Check sold listings to see what prices actually are

[honest birch]

i sold it

[fresh timber]

for the 3070?

i checked 3060ti yesterday

[frigid stag]

Ye 3070 should be like 250

[fresh timber]

evga oness perhaps

i love ftw3 ultra

they look fire

[honest birch]

The correct gpu did not come yet but I tested anyway

[fresh timber]

lol

i wihs 3070 didnt have ewaste ram ammount

[dusk knot]

What range?

[fresh timber]

I do like amd REd devil cards

[fresh timber]

if i wanted one really bad, $600-700

unfortuntly i dont, so $500

[dusk knot]

Hm

[honest birch]

i had the 6750 xt

[fresh timber]

i like 7000 series nitro, all the red devils, EVGA 20-30 series, idk anything els i like

ok this is raw

NOPE

i tried 1440p on a rx6600 on monsterhunter wilds

[sweet phoenix]

my 3060 ti was crying in multiple games at 1440p

[fresh timber]

it did not go well

[frigid stag]

Mine doesn’t go over 8gb unless I use 4k

[honest birch]

rx 5000 is buns

[frigid stag]

Don’t think vram is the reason for that

[fresh timber]

nope

it was vram

[sweet phoenix]

it was around 70% gpu usage

max vram

[fresh timber]

sure as hell can use 12gb of it easily

[acoustic palm]

Mine was fine in cyberpunk lmao

[sweet phoenix]

8gb is a limiter at 1440p

1080p its fine

damn

my rx6600 limit was vram on monster wilds

not eeven funny

8gb on mac is 16gb on pc

[honest birch]

i got 24

[acoustic palm]

What

[honest birch]

[fresh timber]

ew

ew ew ew

[sweet phoenix]

the issue is a game can't use all 8gb of an 8gb gpu

[fresh timber]

o lord

[sweet phoenix]

if it does your system will start freezing and lagging

[fresh timber]

oh..

my rx6600 used 8gb of 8gb lol, maxing vram out doesnt end well

[dusk knot]

@fresh timber https://www.facebook.com/share/1DJ2JxXV1m/

[sweet phoenix]

i tried it in warzone, it does not work

i set my target vram usage to 90%

it was not a fun time

[fresh timber]

broooooo stop enabling me

i can run warzone on 6gb vram

well old warzone that is

idk about the new one

[sweet phoenix]

obviously

[fresh timber]

my frineds 4060 runs it just fine

but hes at 1080p

[sweet phoenix]

but a game using 90% of your vram on an 8gb gpu will cause lag

lmao

[fresh timber]

usage not allocation btw

[acoustic palm]

I can’t wait till Sunday when my system is done

[dusk knot]

Wdym?

[fresh timber]

$450 for 3090.... thats a mirical

i set my budget.. super low so i didnt thave a reason to buy one

[sweet phoenix]

let's do some math rq

[acoustic palm]

@limber crane build looks sick

[fresh timber]

you havent meet some recent games that can and will use 8gb of vram

[sweet phoenix]

what is 9/10th of 8gb

[fresh timber]

7 ish?

[acoustic palm]

7.2…

[sweet phoenix]

over 7, around 7.2

[fresh timber]

dont ask me

im not smart

[limber crane]

Thanks, appreciate it! Mostly turned out how I wanted, nothing I'm too salty about

[sweet phoenix]

yes

that is exactly my point lmao

[acoustic palm]

Mike should be done around Sunday or maybe Monday, can’t wait for that

[fresh timber]

im ngl, warzone should be fine with 8gb ram at 1440p

it doesnt want more than that with me

[sweet phoenix]

it is

unless you set target vram usage too high

[acoustic palm]

I run c77 1440p high with 8gb vram

[fresh timber]

i max it out

[sweet phoenix]

i was running 80ish fps at med-high on a 13600k/3060 ti

[fresh timber]

this is 70%

chillin

[fresh timber]

i wonder if a 5500 would go well with a 3060ti

7700xt too fast for 5500

[sweet phoenix]

not really

5600 is ok w it

[fresh timber]

dammit

[sweet phoenix]

nope. if you set vram usage too high, it will cause issues.

[acoustic palm]

My 3600x with a 3060ti 🔥

[fresh timber]

welp i have no insentive to upgrade the 5500 right now anywyas

[sweet phoenix]

because your system does not have any to use. there is literally a warning on the setting on warzone

[fresh timber]

i didnt get one

i just did it k

ofun!

im in the loading screen how

warzone eats up that cpu tho frfr

What about this used 2060 super

[dense locust]

Hopefully you don’t get hit with Import fees

[acoustic palm]

That’s a non super model

[sweet phoenix]

its 8gb

it has to be the super

[sweet phoenix]

It is, but id spend the extra for this

[silk sonnet]

Which one tho?

[sweet phoenix]

id take the 6650xt personally

but either is good

[silk sonnet]

Would nvidia be better for 3d modeling and video editing ?

[sweet phoenix]

oh wait

yeah i forgot

you use blender right?

[silk sonnet]

Fusion 360 but yeah also blender sometimes

[sweet phoenix]

yeah fusion prefers nvidia

[silk sonnet]

And davinci resolve

[sweet phoenix]

def go for the 2070s or a 3060 12gb if you can find one reasonably priced

all 3 of those prefer nvidia heavily iirc

blender 100%

[storm narwhal]

Oh resolve prefers nvidia?

[pliant berry]

I thought fusion was just cloud based

[sweet phoenix]

i couldve sworn, but i could be wrong

[storm narwhal]

I have no clue lmao

[fresh timber]

is their a 2070 super

[ashen lotus]

can someone answer a couple questions I have for prebuilt i was looking at.

[storm narwhal]

That's what was suggested yes

[fresh timber]

oo cool

[sweet phoenix]

sure, lets head over to #building-and-recc-chat

[fresh timber]

...

welp i know what i want

[frigid stag]

Offer them 150

ill see if i can do it this or next week

3060 12gb for $230 USF

USD

[sweet phoenix]

pretty decent

could prob find one around 175ish on r/hardwareswap or fbm, but that takes more effort

[frigid stag]

Why not get a 6650xt

Brand new and faster?

[sweet phoenix]

workstation

[frigid stag]

Or is it not

Oh

I guess if it’s for rendering 3060 is better

Amd cards aren’t too bad though, Ik someone who uses a gtx card for rendering in blender

And rdna 2 is better than gtx for rendering iirc

[sweet phoenix]

nah hes using blender

[frigid stag]

Ye my friend does too

[sweet phoenix]

and davinci/fusion which im pretty sure also prefer nvidia

[sweet phoenix]

nah

wait

[frigid stag]

I mean realistically is it worse than a gtx

[sweet phoenix]

i misread that

[fresh timber]

davincie LOVES amd

[sweet phoenix]

im not sure

[frigid stag]

I’m guessing it’s the same at the very least

[fresh timber]

the 7900xtx does quite well on davincie

davincie should have no issue on AMD

blender has zluda

so its fine

[sweet phoenix]

xtx loses to a 4070 in blender

[fresh timber]

with or with out zluda

[sweet phoenix]

if im not remembering wrong, it loses to a 3070 too

[frigid stag]

Yes

It’s at the 2070 level

Still better than gtx though and that works fine, so depends how important it is for you to have the best

It certainly makes rendering faster

[sweet phoenix]

imo worth $30 more than a 6650xt

[fresh timber]

id love a 1080ti but ewaste at this point

[sweet phoenix]

calling a 1080 ti ewaste is crazy

[frigid stag]

Truly

[sweet phoenix]

1080 ti beats your 6600 lol

[fresh timber]

yeah, starting to show their age

[silk sonnet]

@sweet phoenix yo is this legit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/306219226790?_skw=2070+super+graphics+card&epid=23042653477&itmmeta=01JQZ2KJP29HF5NPN5M1BBWYGN&hash=item474c1696a6:g:XXQAAeSw45Zn7sSX&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cKmWmvwzARcvkG%2FAvCLrTCEAkxqzD5KQtcbTf%2BUDBpGXwGhFlOWSxPFNw%2FIDwDu3ecYZsxrMKv16GiF7di7paUvg9vWdfWiNa%2FX3ERh3yyh%2FknVeZOS4iYG5OuZ093TMOmcofkmSaBFl4sDulqsLvcHFGeREy3QZKb1SkO%2BGsq%2Fp6VjwkgVpCc4tiyqpcBgOXzhA18HzwWM1yhbkGfLaoPQT%2Fvz2WuYCIVVolRn0R7saSBiKw4lxYvEK%2BlIrkMY%2Fm0XXTwd1SHsFFIm5dB3WUCDX%2BPDWwE9kZ3iLGKjSyg9A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5arzuK_ZQ

[fresh timber]

even dx12? or any title that uses light raytracing

[frigid stag]

I should probably delete that it’s clickbait

[frigid stag]

Ye 1080 ti runs dx12 fine

[sweet phoenix]

looks fine

[frigid stag]

Might be a bit hot

Like just go on Facebook marketplace and look up 2070 or 2080 or 4060. You might find some good deals

[silk sonnet]

i dont know if they'll accept my offer if i like knock 20-30 bucks off, what do you think?

[frigid stag]

Ye good idea

Always best to try lower price

[silk sonnet]

idk facebook marketplace always seemed sketchy, prob not but ill see

I do agree that it has great deals

but what if the product doesnt end up working

most ppl don't accept returns or refunds right?

[pliant berry]

fb marketplace is full of scams but you can avoid most of them by doing local only

[frigid stag]

Yeah that’s the only thing

You’d need to test the gpu

Or make him test it in front of you somehow

Most won’t scam you but you never know
