[rancid juniper]

I guess they make more money from digital sales 💀

[rancid juniper]

your local supermarket sells games?

[rancid juniper]

I mean the selection isn’t huge

But there’s a few

The popular stuff usually, mw3, cyberpunk, stuff like that

[velvet summit]

not much wind either, around 15km/h (which is like 6 mph winds)

[frigid stag]

I think I saw starfield on sale for like 20 bucks on clearance last year 💀

Google doesnt even run andriod smh

[primal kettle]

You're paying for a name and that's about it

It’s kind of subjective after a certain point

It's SUPER overrated lmao

Like it is WILDLY overrated

[frigid stag]

But overall ye they are kinda overrated

[paper verge]

whats overrated about the bolide?

[devout forum]

Not bad
But it's NOT the best thing since sliced bread

[paper verge]

tell me a single thing overrated about the bolide

[frigid stag]

Ford gt is though

[devout forum]

It's a kinda mid brand if you consider that you can make more power with a V8

[devout forum]

It's 80% brand hype

It's not even the fastest production car

While you pay millions for it

[paper verge]

yeah stupid because its meant for the masses

[primal kettle]

"muh timeless design" is stupid

[paper verge]

its not meant for race car drivers

[devout forum]

The Veyron looked dumb even when it came out

[frigid stag]

It’s not

[primal kettle]

I mean the idea isn't, but of their way of going about it is just having no electronics, which is really dumb

And also, that idea clearly just doesn't work

[devout forum]

The Bolide is basically trying to fit a body kit designed for a Lamborghini onto a Veyron in terms of looks

It's highly confused about what it wants

[paper verge]

Bolide is not race focused

[devout forum]

It is???

[devout forum]

It's like THE racecar Bugatti

[paper verge]

valkyrie and fxx are race focused by standard

wow that car is sexy

[devout forum]

The Valkyrie is literally a racecar with a license plate

[paper verge]

thus a racecar

bolide is not

even the ceo said it

like a week ago

[worn wave]

It's a track car though

[devout forum]

It's 100% not meant for the steeet

Like wholly

[paper verge]

with features meant to be used by drivers who havent spent 15 years in cars

[frigid stag]

If your looking for the most hp it’s probably this

[devout forum]

It's a stripped out car meant to be on a track

[crimson scroll]

it has soo many safety features all racecars lack

and thats the marketing

[frigid stag]

This ones 4515hp

[primal kettle]

The F5 Revolution is 2031hp

[frigid stag]

Never mind it’s 5k

[devout forum]

I mean that's not QUITE a proper production car

But the Gemera is like 1700

And that's a truly production car

[primal kettle]

Genera's combustion engine is 1500 and the electric motor is 800

Also four seats

Best family car 🥰

[devout forum]

Oh wait

[paper verge]

car looks like a blobfish would prefer the gt63 every day bruh

[devout forum]

That's 1700 kilowatts lol

My bad Elephant has it right

I got confused there for a moment

But yes

[frigid stag]

It’s all performance

But gt63s probably better daily

[paper verge]

the gameras powertrain

[devout forum]

Bugatti's most powerful car is less powerful than a Gemera

[paper verge]

😍

[worthy meteor]

Damn bolide is going to refer to a car now instead of this

[devout forum]

Also fun fact
The Bolide's name comes from the term le bolide, which literally means "the racing car" in French.

So it is LITERALLY named racecar

[paper verge]

you dont get it dude

you dont get it

[devout forum]

You can't be more obvious about the intention than that

[devout forum]

You're trying REALLY hard to read something into it that's not there

The Bolide is meant to be the most fast sendoff of the 8.0 W16 engine

Which is the same engine as the Veyron had

[paper verge]

Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann has made it clear that the Bolide is not a professional race car, despite its track-focused design and high-performance capabilities. He emphasizes that it's a "track car for Bugatti enthusiasts" and a "purest expression" of the W16 engine, showcasing Bugatti's engineering prowess. While the Bolide is engineered with racing in mind, its design and construction are not intended for professional motorsport competition, such as Formula 1.

this guy

is soo stupid

[devout forum]

Yeah the CEO is

[paper verge]

you are

hes the former CEO of regera bruh

[primal kettle]

> "engineering prowess"
> can't make their own engines

https://tenor.com/view/lie-detector-lier-trending-gif-6708574292361340617

[devout forum]

They're trying to pretend a full racecar that's impossible to use on any road that's not a German Autobahn or an interstate is a car for the road

Hell it's THE SAME ENGINE as the Veyron

Which is

[frigid stag]

Google says it’s a track car

[paper verge]

its a racecar that even someone as stupid as you can drive without dying in the first 5 seconds

[devout forum]

Like what, 15 years old at this point.

[paper verge]

that the bolide for ya

get it now or nah

[devout forum]

Except that's not how it works???

Anyone can drive a racecar, even someone with as smooth a brain as you without dying in 5 seconds

[frigid stag]

The BOLIDE is BUGATTI's track-only hypercar built around the iconic W16 engine.

[devout forum]

Driving a racecar FAST is a different question

[paper verge]

it does actual racecars lack alot of traction control, esc, anti lock breaks, etc...

[devout forum]

And you'd need to be a racecar driver on a racetrack to drive a Bolide fast

ABS and TC aren't like this magical things

They both come from
Guess effing what

RACECARS

[paper verge]

they are when you are going 250km/h next to 3 other cars at a turn

[devout forum]

F1 had TC in the mid-70s iirc

And ABS

[paper verge]

bro this guy

[devout forum]

Fully electronically actuated air suspensions and so on

In the EFFING 70s

You're pretending like these techs aren't in racecars

[paper verge]

F1 doesnt have ABS nor tc

....

[worthy meteor]

It's a luxury display piece for rich people to say they drive a race car that they can theoretically drive on the road

[devout forum]

Everything that Bugatti calls "engineering prowess" is tech made to be used in racecars somewhere in the 70s to 80s

[paper verge]

exactly what the CEO says

finally someone with a brain

[devout forum]

Except none of them will EVER drive one because that risks their investment

[worthy meteor]

It's probably a proper race car if you strip away the marketing

[devout forum]

Y'know like

Wearing parts out
Crashing

[worthy meteor]

But that's not their focus for their consumer base

[devout forum]

Nobody actually drives these cars

1000% garage queens

[devout forum]

Eeeeexcpet by your own quote of the CEO that's not what he said?

[paper verge]

he did

it's a "track car for Bugatti enthusiasts" and a "purest expression" of the W16 engine,

[devout forum]

But alright whatever I know you're too smoothbrain to remember your own arguments 5 minutes later

[worthy meteor]

It's the random pristine condition luxury car that shows up in someone's random shed in 20 years

[devout forum]

Except it isn't even a luxury car!

It's a stripped out racecar

bro you literally said f1 had tc and abs in the mid 60s 💀

Luxury by the price segment

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[paper verge]

eh still wrong

[devout forum]

ROFL

It was allowed way later than I thought actually

"The 1994 Formula 1 season marked a significant shift in the sport's technical landscape. New regulations banned a host of driver aids, including traction control, active suspension, and launch control."

TBF

[primal kettle]

No?

[devout forum]

That was before I was alive

That's when it was banned

[primal kettle]

A simple Google search will tell you that's wrong my guy

[devout forum]

I'd have to check when it was first used

[paper verge]

it was the 90s and besides its banned

[primal kettle]

It was banned in the '90s and it was introduced in the '70s

[paper verge]

it was banned in 2008 or smth?

[primal kettle]

No

1994

[paper verge]

In F1 however, Traction Control is banned. From 2008, traction control was removed to increase driving difficulty and to make the sport more exciting for both fans and drivers. The 'realism' aspect of the game, therefore, suggests that TC should be turned off to mimic real-world driving conditions.

so it wasa banned in 94 and then removed in 08

nice

[primal kettle]

I'm talking about ABS

[devout forum]

1987. Traction control was introduced for the first time in F1 in 1987, automatically reducing power to the wheels, giving drivers more controlled acceleration, near-perfect starts and increased corner control.

[devout forum]

I was off by 10 years, fine

[primal kettle]

Then banned in 2008

[primal kettle]

No, you were right about ABS

[worn wave]

I'd argue it counts as a luxury car in the sense that

1. it's like $4 million
2. you buy it just to mess around with (notr meant to be used for professional racing NOR the street, just track days)

[devout forum]

That's STILL significantly older tech

[paper verge]

bro what are we ever arguing about

theres some old dude somewhere in his bolide chillin

[frigid stag]

It’s both luxury and race car.

[devout forum]

My opinion is that it's a racecar through and through

A luxury car would do like wood dash, plush leather seats and a ton of things for convenience

[paper verge]

i bet hes loving it

[frigid stag]

Honestly I’d do anything for an f80 m3

Forget the Bugatti’s and super cars

[worn wave]

but it's not quite meant for racing as far as I can tell which is why it's called a track car

[paper verge]

id love me a cl63

bmw i had wasnt the best experience

[devout forum]

I'd honestly take a Hawkeye STI

That's really all I would ever need

330hp with boltons and forged internals

Full load?

[rancid juniper]

Full load all core

Doing occt extreme avx2 1hr run

4.3ghz e-core
4.8ghz ring

9600x

I got really lucky on the cores

Ryzen master put -50 curve optimizer

[rancid juniper]

All core boost?

[lone mango]

Yeah

I get like 5.62-5,64 single core

Actually nuts

I was about to ask if you could achieve 5.4ghz all core

Maybe idk. Wish pbo would go over 200

[rancid juniper]

[devout forum]

I just wanna get myself a nice rig

[dusk knot]

Same

[rancid juniper]

Aren't you the guy stuck with an 8500g?

[lone mango]

I probably could do it because the +200 is at 1.1v

So I def got headroom

[devout forum]

Dunno if the 4080 would be better for general use at 1440p than an optimized 9070 XT

[devout forum]

Nah, 7600X and 6700XT

[rancid juniper]

Lowest voltage I achieved on my 13600k was 1.095v

[misty sparrow]

okay to be honest they should've announced it way later

[rancid juniper]

Just 1 number difference

[rancid juniper]

Reason why those games are popular is

1. Their jank
2. The mods

[devout forum]

Turns out that the 7900XTX is like

[lone mango]

[devout forum]

A good bit cheaper to get now than a 4080

340k for a 4080
280k for the XTX

[crimson scroll]

Go away noob

[lone mango]

And I guess 9070 xt still crazy right

[lone mango]

[dusk knot]

Yeah..it's all comes to prices, Bh

[devout forum]

So realistically the 4080 isn't that great rn

[rancid juniper]

Stress testing went past 10 minutes and I checked temps

Max temp was around 93c @lone mango

Quite toasty

Next gen AMD GPU comes out and JP will finally be convinced

I'm sure of it

[devout forum]

Lol

To be fair

[misty sparrow]

I don't trust current Bethesda to make Elder Scrolls VI anyway

[devout forum]

DLSS is genuinely good
And transformer model really did fix upscaling

[misty sparrow]

at least in a way that makes the game good

[lone mango]

280 from 355 is a very large gap

[rancid juniper]

Took them like half a decade

But hey

Progress

[lone mango]

But it can beat the 4080

[devout forum]

There's a lot going for the 9070 XT tbh
From the RT perf through power efficiency and the new architecture

[rancid juniper]

Curious on 9060 XT's performance

[devout forum]

The issue is that if I spend the 9070XT money

I could get the 4080

[rancid juniper]

I know it won't be wow material but curious

[devout forum]

And that's a much tougher ask

9070 XT isn't quite meant to fight the 4080 even tho it kind of ends up doing that

[rancid juniper]

NGL when you think about it man, AMD legit could make a 5090 competitor this gen but I know that gpu gonna be power hungry af

It's in their signature

Tho I'm a firm believer of just being patient

Unless they managed to make the game absolute slop

[crimson scroll]

I gurantee you it will suck

[devout forum]

But ye

[rancid juniper]

Due to unrealistic expectations? Yes

[crimson scroll]

Theres no micheal trevor or franklin

[devout forum]

It's realistically a question of cheaper XTX
Or a tossup on a 9070 XT to a 4080

[rancid juniper]

[lone mango]

Its happening

[rancid juniper]

Theo_buys_5090

[lone mango]

Yeah because one of them will rise from the dead and go to what is basically the recreation of florida with the other two

[rancid juniper]

9070 XT to 4080 is just...

[frigid stag]

I’d take the 4080 any day

[worn night]

imagine buying it and the dominoes deliverer gets pizza grease on the disk

[lone mango]

Play gta 5 again

[crimson scroll]

I might give gta 6 a try

MIGHT

im pretty non hopeful for the game

?? How come

[crimson scroll]

Its too new lmao

[rancid juniper]

Do you like
RT?
NVENC/SHADOWPLAY?
DLSS?
CUDA?

[crimson scroll]

What did i say???

New games wont get cd key

[lone mango]

The keys will sell for more than the game itself when it comes out

This occasionally happens

[crimson scroll]

Plus gta 6 wont come to pc cd

Lol

[frigid stag]

I remember when gta 5 launched

[crimson scroll]

Me too

I first played vice city

[frigid stag]

I wasn’t old enough to buy the game 😔

[lone mango]

I dont but I do remember the ps4 version coming out

[devout forum]

RT is cool (and on an OLED it'd probably make the game look even better)
Shadowplay IIRC is neat but not developed anymore, NVENC is great for streaming tho
DLSS I really don't wanna care
CUDA IIRC is good for 3d modeling which I plan to occasionally do once I have a 3d printer

[dusk knot]

Why you buy?

[lone mango]

Theo needs the best

[rancid juniper]

Then, get the 4080

[lone mango]

Rdna 4 avc is really good tho

[devout forum]

Yeah, that's what I thought

And I do intend to EVENTUALLY move up to a 5090

[lone mango]

Its on par with everyone else

[devout forum]

So having a 4080 would be a logical step

Probably in like

[frigid stag]

5070 ti might be a good option too

[devout forum]

2 years when they kinda become reasonably priced

[devout forum]

That thing costs as much as a release 7900 XTX

Which is like

[rancid juniper]

Achievement unlocked: big spender

25% more money for less performance?

[devout forum]

That too ye

[frigid stag]

If you ever need that

[rancid juniper]

Physx is dead

[frigid stag]

Idk how useful it is apart from older games but it’s nice to have

Rather have physx than use a 2nd gpu for it

[rancid juniper]

All modern games use their own physics engine or use HAVOK

Razer

[proud jackal]

I would like an astral but that ain't happening

[devout forum]

But ye

Realistically even a 4090 would be good uplift from a 9070 XT/4080 right?

[viral plover]

no, razer build quality is even worse than cheap chinese mice

[frigid stag]

I got a mouse and the seal looks like it was opened before

[frigid stag]

Maybe on a 2011 mouse

The newer stuff is solid

Dav3 pro, viper v3, v2 etc

Viper mini if you have small hands or hold your mouse with your fingers

[viral plover]

ive the razer deathadder v2 wired and the build quality is like a 20 USD mouse

[frigid stag]

On the 3 pro it feels sturdy 🤷 idk

[viral plover]

what about the razer blade 16 2024 build quality

[frigid stag]

I got my first razer mouse for like 15 bucks

i run four corsair which is sad but pretty good ram from my experience

[crimson scroll]

I will not tolerate corsair hate

[opaque sedge]

Oh i also forgot to mention he has a lot of bad habits and lacks the capacity for improvement because he refuses to self reflect since he only thinks and talks about what happened to him first

So yeah he’s doomed sad to say his parents didn’t raise him right

[dense locust]

Midsair ram

[paper verge]

awfully sounds like 90% of middle age dads nowadays

[crimson scroll]

Wishing bad things for you rn

Corsair is the best

Their customer support is amazing

[frigid stag]

They’re ok but far from the best for ram

[opaque sedge]

Nah there are def better dads

[paper verge]

my dad also used to go on rants about how much his parents sucked but i couldnt see a difference

SINCE WERE GROWN UP NOW

CAN WE TALK ABT DISNYE CHANNEL

WTF WAS NINA HAS TO GO

i was thinking abt that the other day

[paper verge]

yall remember the other dude that used to be like "top 20 coolest megaprojects"

that was my childhood

lol

[crimson scroll]

THE ENTIRE PLOT WAS A GIRL HAVING TO PEE LOL

[lone mango]

Will it boost higher on single core or is it because of a manual oc it will be 5.4 no matter the load

[nocturne flicker]

Hey can you chill out and not caps lock on everything pls

[crimson scroll]

Im playimg fallout 4 on 8gb of ram instead of 16

No drop in fps lol

[nocturne flicker]

Not surprising. Vanilla Fo4 had an 8gb ram recommendation. Modding would eventually make that a problem

[crimson scroll]

I need a full set of 4 8gb sticks

Or a full set of 4 4gb sticks

[rancid juniper]

it will be 5.4 all core at high loads

it can clock down when there's nothing going on

[rancid juniper]

2x16 or 2x8 is good enough

don't need to populate all slots

unless you want higher capacity

[crimson scroll]

Will it hurt?

Im OCD i like all 4 slots occupied

[lone mango]

What platform you on

[rancid juniper]

iirc populating all slots might decrease chances of reaching higher clocks if you want to OC, and less chances of XMP working

i could be very wrong here

[lone mango]

But will it have the same single core behavior where it clocks higher or is single core also capped like how it is with ryzen

[frigid stag]

I think he has skylake

[nocturne flicker]

Also, generally a kit of 4 is more expensive than a kit of 2

[rancid juniper]

its capped like rn for example

[frigid stag]

Usually people buy 2 kits at the same time

If they want 4

Lol smth funny just happened to me rn turns out i had an assignment due this morning at 11AM and i was just abt getting ready to study at 9 but then my father wanted me to take him to some stores cuz apparently his shopping is more important than my time to myself… and basically had an hour long argument and i gave up and drove him at and the entire trip took over 30 minutes and i ended up missing my assignments

Had he not consumed my morning i prolly would have taken note of the assignments and got it done in time

Any of these movies good?

If a philosopher philosophizes philosophical philosophies with philosophical precision, and philosophically phrases philosophies phrased by fellow philosophers, can the philosophy of philosophizing be philosophized without philosophic confusion?

[dusk knot]

I've never heard of any of these films

[tranquil pebble]

reticulating splines

[crimson scroll]

Lighthouse ive seen some memes on it on insta reels

[worn wave]

midsommar is pretty good, I haven't seen any of the others

[nocturne flicker]

Midsommar was weird and stupid

Generic dumb characters doing generic bad ideas

Also the CGI made me sick

[crimson scroll]

Ima watch it anyway

[idle nexus]

anyone have one of those like uh, fancy Sony cameras? trying to figure out how to open ARW files on Windows without using some suspicious conversion website

just found a "Raw Image Extension" from Microsoft... maybe this will help

[worn wave]

ARW is just Sony's version of RAW

try a generic RAW viewer first

[idle nexus]

lol real cute how they switched the letters around

[worn wave]

otherwise an editing program will work

or this maybe? https://creatorscloud.sony.net/catalog/en-us/ie-desktop/index.html

[idle nexus]

it's like how mobile graphics are Adreno

that's just Radeon moved around

[idle nexus]

ah yes thank you I remember this Sony program now

[worn wave]

wait isn't adreno qualcomm tho

[idle nexus]

so ig they came up with it before they sold?

[worn wave]

AI is telling me there is no correlation

kinda wild coincidence tho

[acoustic palm]

@fresh timber im uv and oc my card

@fresh timber

wow oc and uv is underwhelming

[unique crow]

Hi!

Just wanna ask about open box orders on Newegg.
Anyone got any experience?
I’ve got an order placed for a 50 series card open-box but now I’m getting cold feet. 😭

[icy ore]

If it’s from Newegg you’re probably good, or is it a third party seller?

[unique crow]

It’s shipped and sold by Newegg. A 5090.

[unique crow]

It cost as much as retail. I think 20 dollars less.

[acoustic palm]

damm rich

[unique crow]

Got a stipend from my university. 😭

[acoustic palm]

why waste it on a 5090

[fresh timber]

I told you to stop harassing me

[unique crow]

Because I’m doing a ML/AI masters program and need something that can at least run quantized models locally

[acoustic palm]

why not get a card thats for that then

[unique crow]

Way more expensive.

And this does the job perfectly for what I need.

[acoustic palm]

still like what... 3k+?

[acoustic palm]

vex i tried uv and oc, its mid asf

[unique crow]

3.2 after tax, yes.

[crimson scroll]

How am i harrassing you lol

[acoustic palm]

Damn… I could never quantify spending that much

[unique crow]

Yeah, it is an insane amount of money. But in my circumstance, it makes sense to me.

So, open box is fine?
I think it’s from people returning bundled GPUs because of buyer’s remorse or trouble scalping/selling them.

[idle nexus]

aww ye... it's the most like, uh, generic-gaming-computer-from-BestBuy-looking build I've ever done

[fresh timber]

I told you once to stop pinging me

[crimson scroll]

Not harrasment

[crimson scroll]

Its nice

[proud jackal]

Do I buy it

[dense locust]

Buy now think later

[dusk knot]

Show

[proud jackal]

Or do I gamble on new microcenter

They said they'd open fall last year

👿

[rancid juniper]

well knowing your luck... LETS GAMBLE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[tranquil pebble]

2035: Nvidia now sells their cards through dedicated dealerships and almost universally requires loans

[idle nexus]

lol thank you

[dusk knot]

I would try microcenter

[acoustic palm]

Wait… used????

No, absolutely not on 50 series

99.99999999% of the time that means missing ROP, and that’s not good

[dense locust]

Microcenter

Ah yes

The company that refuses to open in my state

[dense locust]

The chances of getting missing rops is so rare

[acoustic palm]

A used 50 series card.

[dense locust]

Besides you can just rma it

[crimson scroll]

Does rop effect performance

[dense locust]

About 4% on a 5090
About 10% on a 5080

[tranquil pebble]

ROPs are a fundamental part of a GPU so yes, they affect performance a lot

[crimson scroll]

Idk what rop is

[tranquil pebble]

they are critical to rendering, all you need to know really

[crimson scroll]

Oh

[dusk knot]

I got all 112 ROPs

[unique crow]

Hm

It’s gigabyte and I’m reading that their rma is good this generation.

So even if it has rops issues, I should be fine.

Though, again, the rops issue has become nonexistent (or at least not reported) since the price hikes. The first batch of cards suffered most.

[dusk knot]

The ROPs issue I feel is very rare

[unique crow]

It’s open box so at most the person had it for 4 weeks.
Used would mean they could’ve had it since launch day.

[dusk knot]

Don't worry about it

[unique crow]

Final vote, team:

Pull the trigger on the open box?

It’s an aorus master 5090.

It’s shipped and sold by Newegg so it’s as good as Open boxes are gonna get.

[dusk knot]

Price?

[unique crow]

3163 after tax.

[unique crow]

So basically just 30 dollars less than MSRP.
But finding it in stock at MSRP is impossible rn anyway.

[dusk knot]

What currency is that?

[unique crow]

USD.

[dusk knot]

That's 3 5080s

[unique crow]

My circumstances justify the price
That’s not the issue. 😭

Well, nothing justifies the price.

But it justifies needing/purchasing one rn.

[dusk knot]

What are those circumstances? Your job?

[unique crow]

Yeah. More so for academia. I’m starting a ML/AI Master’s program.

[dusk knot]

Alright

[frigid stag]

You’d probably be fine with a used 3090 ngl

It has a lot of vram

[unique crow]

Doesn’t help that everyone on Reddit has some grade A horror stories about open box from Newegg.

[frigid stag]

Yep

[dusk knot]

Hm...yes

You'll have to hope you don't end up as one of those stories

[unique crow]

I could always return it
This isn’t a FINAL SALE marked item

[dusk knot]

Tsk.....

[wraith fern]

right

you can rma it

[dusk knot]

3 grand

[wraith fern]

so why is it such a big deal

[unique crow]

Plus there’s also RMA as an option.

[frigid stag]

Over 3k and open box 😭

[wraith fern]

they sell 50 series for msrp at a store near me

3k is devious though

[frigid stag]

[frigid stag]

Just wait for this to restock

[unique crow]

Uhh..

So funny story

[frigid stag]

U bought it

[dusk knot]

Imagine future NgreedAi flagship cards....4-5 grand.

Some people here will justify it

[unique crow]

Yeah. It would hurt my heart more to buy a baseline card for 2880 than buying the top of the line model for 3160.

[frigid stag]

This is 1999

[dusk knot]

@unique crow If it's for your well paying job, absolutely do it

If that 5090 can pay for itself in whatever time scale you need , it's worth it ig

[unique crow]

It’s kind of a gift for myself too sort of. I’ve been chasing getting into an Ivy League university for years, and I finally got in for a master’s degree.

[frigid stag]

It’s close

[unique crow]

I’m coming from a 3080 10gb vram and 3600x cpu. So this is going to be more than a generational upgrade lol

[dusk knot]

Tsk

[wraith fern]

which 1

[dusk knot]

part of me wants to give up on PC gaming

I can't settle for anything less than a 80 series card

[frigid stag]

Y

[wraith fern]

we all know that's not ture

[dusk knot]

And 80 series cards are going to get worse

[frigid stag]

As long as your pc is faster than the consoles it’s good

[unique crow]

Brown, Penn, Cornell and Columbia.

[dusk knot]

True

[frigid stag]

I could switch to my gtx 980 and still run most games

Newer ones might struggle a bit

[dusk knot]

Hm

[wraith fern]

you can have my 1080

some part of it is busted though

so it wont run

[dusk knot]

E

[wraith fern]

smelled smoke and the gpu was toast

rip!

[icy ore]

Oh no

That sucks

[wraith fern]

well yeah it was like 3 years ago

it sucks, but its not that big of a deal

had a 3080 a week later, so not horrible i guess

[dusk knot]

Nice

[cursive oasis]

Hey, do I need to ask for a refund, or are they gonna redeliver it?

Because newegg says it's been delivered, but it's not at my house. And I happen to see this when looking at the delivery process

[crimson scroll]

Your likely boned bro

[cursive oasis]

Well, now it's saying that it'll be delivered on may 7th

Which completely defeats the purpose of me paying extra shipping to get it earlier

[crimson scroll]

@crimson vine refund this man

Just contact them

Same with amazon they should refund you

[cursive oasis]

Well now there's a new thing saying that they departed from facility at 7:42pm

[crimson scroll]

Also has newegg always been for pc parts? My granny told me they scammed her with clothes before

[pliant berry]

either that or call the shipping company and check the address with them

[crimson scroll]

She said this was 20 uears ago

[cursive oasis]

Do I just call ups

[crimson scroll]

Yes

[pliant berry]

if they are the ones responsible for delivery ye

[cursive oasis]

Ok

They're closed

I'll have to wait till tomorrow

[pliant berry]

though I will say they are a pain in the ass to get in contact with

[cursive oasis]

I imagine

[rancid juniper]

still trying to revive my laptop bruh

😂

[cursive oasis]

I'm just gonna assume that maybe they had a slight error and they'll get it back to me soon

[acoustic palm]

Whose good with overclocking

Idt my overclock is working

[rancid juniper]

i would say people like Forks but they do Extreme OC

there are many others who know OC here too

[pliant berry]

sometimes the labels on packages get messed up in their sorting and become unreadable. who knows what happened there

[acoustic palm]

I’m on -100mv and 2750 vram

[cursive oasis]

i mean, i have a modded version

If I leave and rejoin, it wont connect

In fact it wont even detect the server is up
