general-chat

[hoary zodiac]

not much else

[upper rain]

they're reasonably competitive in some professional stuff

[hoary zodiac]

especially when you start throwing RT in it

[upper rain]

mainly when they offer more vram than price equivalent Nvidias

[frigid stag]

Or that yea

[fresh timber]

My gpu raytraces just fine

[grand kernel]

my 9070xt is unironically outperforming my 4080 at path tracing

[nocturne flicker]

I'll trace your rays

[hoary zodiac]

trace deez nuts

[grand kernel]

dlss4 is still far superior to fsr4 though

it's not even close

[upper rain]

my 9070 is on par with 4080/super lol

[fresh timber]

lol

[upper rain]

yeah that's the one thing that irks me. i want FSR 4 to improve considerably

[fresh timber]

Fsr3 and 4 look the same to me

I’m weird I know

[nocturne flicker]

I don't use upscaling

[upper rain]

i'm +30% over stock which puts me right on par

[grand kernel]

4080 doing 100-115 fps in cyberpunk 1440p path tracing dlss quality

[frigid stag]

I prefer downscaling

[grand kernel]

9070xt doing 120-160 with fsr quality

[frigid stag]

Max oc 9070xt is still behind 5070ti max oc

So probably close

[fresh timber]

I was doing 20

wtf

[grand kernel]

lol what

[nocturne flicker]

I also don't play many modern AAA games either so I don't really have a reason to use FSR anyways

[fresh timber]

You have x3d advantage

[hoary zodiac]

I get choked by my cpu

before I have to touch anything gpu related

[frigid stag]

I’ve had this card for a few years and I’ve never tried dlss once

[nocturne flicker]

FSR does look like garbage in Elite Dangerous though

[fresh timber]

I’m using my gpus to make money and heat my basement

[grand kernel]

both scenarios are gpu bottlenecked

[fresh timber]

Even a 5500 and 9070xt?

[upper rain]

my max oc 9070 is 25-30% faster than stock, which per TPU puts it close to stock 5080, and narrowly agead of 4080/super

[grand kernel]

who said I was using a 5500

[frigid stag]

Eh it depends on the game

[nocturne flicker]

Think all they did was throw FSR 1 into ED and called it a day just like they do everything else

[upper rain]

forgor the reply, bur was to this

[fresh timber]

I’m running that

[nocturne flicker]

Laziest game devs ever

[grand kernel]

I was running the 4080 with a 13700k @ 5.5ghz ht off and manual tuned b-die at 4200 gear 1

gpu bottlenecked

[fresh timber]

I’m running a ryzen 5 5500

[frigid stag]

Makes sense

[upper rain]

walking one*

[fresh timber]

CPU chocked

[fresh timber]

Lmfao

[upper rain]

lol

[fresh timber]

I’m using $550w mining rn

Whooo

[upper rain]

does that even break even lol

[fresh timber]

I make a estimated 80c a day

And my 9070xt crashed again

It keeps crashing

Oh it’s goin goin

[frigid stag]

my friend gets 300 fps In rivals somehow

[fresh timber]

I’m probably go get that much with my 13600kf

[frigid stag]

Ye it’s pretty cpu bound

I think he has a 12900kf

[fresh timber]

Oh then I’ll be pushing 300 no problem

And they say rivals is unoptimized

[frigid stag]

It’s gpu heavy. He plays on 1080p I think

And low settings

[nocturne flicker]

That reminds me I was going to try deep space exploring with a Mandalay

[lone mango]

Shadows do not exist

[nocturne flicker]

Guess I'll actually play a video game on my days off

[nocturne flicker]

Then what is my shadow? Vashta Nerada?

[fresh timber]

Picture out is broken but this works

I just realized both monitors turned off and they are on separate gpus

I need another gpu

[frigid stag]

That probably costs more in electricity

[fresh timber]

Who cares

[tranquil pebble]

I wonder what Windows 11 is like on 4 GB RAM

[fresh timber]

Runs fine

Grandma laptop has 4gb and runs fine

[frigid stag]

Chrome book experience

[fresh timber]

I upgraded her to 12gb tho

[tranquil pebble]

I should try it in a VM for lulz

[fresh timber]

Runs finer

[misty sparrow]

Try it on 512MB

[fresh timber]

I don’t think I’m mining anymore

Fans stopped spinning

[lone mango]

But he aint paying for it

[fresh timber]

Excatly

[tranquil pebble]

Persona players disagree

[lone mango]

Idk what that means

But I was trying to say the rivals video had no shadows which is why it looked weird

I said it poorly

[fresh timber]

Who needs shadows

Makes it here to kill Jeff

[pseudo raven]

wow these numbers suck lol

well maybe its the algo idk

my 3070 did 60

wait did you not overclock it?

300w is very high

[fresh timber]

I did not oc it cause of this

It keeps crashing

[pseudo raven]

oh

yeah nicehash has a built in auto oc

that worked fairly well for m

but idk if its on amd

[lone mango]

Undervolting better for mining anyway

Well for rdna 4, uv + -pl

[pseudo raven]

yeah thats what i meant by oc

[fresh timber]

I can’t Undervolt anyways

It will crash

[pseudo raven]

but yeah

you oc the memory

underclock the core

and cut wattage in like half

or something

[lone mango]

[pseudo raven]

back in 2020 a 3070 was making 6 dollars a day

[misty sparrow]

is that better than a 3060

[lone mango]

Yeah now you need a whole refrigerator sized asic

[pseudo raven]

now it makes that in like a month 💀

[fresh timber]

And then the driver crashes and everything goes back to stock

It’s crashing while stock

[pseudo raven]

its a little better

[lone mango]

You on 25.6.1 now right

I think you are

[pseudo raven]

idk why youre even bothering mining

theres no way that offsets power

[fresh timber]

I don’t pay electricity

Duh

[pseudo raven]

insane 24 dollars a month then

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

I’ll take that

[pseudo raven]

for a couple weeks in 2021

i think 3070 was making that almost in a day

man the good old days

paid off my entire pc

[fresh timber]

Somebody make a miner that only turns on when your pc is inactive

[pseudo raven]

you should try salad

it does that

and the payout is probably similar if not better

[fresh timber]

Not very good on AMD from what I hear

[pseudo raven]

oh yeah

[lone mango]

I wish I did it back then, but even back then my rx580 wouldnt make a whole lot, and I wasnt as autistic about tech as I am now

[pseudo raven]

it would probably manage a dollar or two a day still

not terrible

[lone mango]

I also felt guilty about making my dad pay for more power

[fresh timber]

ITS CRASHING SITLL

AMD drivers suck

[pseudo raven]

for mining

perhaps

[lone mango]

Doomed to use the card normally

[pseudo raven]

also idk where you lvie but

when i mined

my gpu would really heat the crap up out of my room

[tranquil pebble]

not on Linux lol

[fresh timber]

Lmfao now my 9070xt is running 47w now

[pseudo raven]

which was great in the winters and much more terrible in the summers

[fresh timber]

That’s what I’m doing this winter

Heating my room

[nocturne flicker]

This is the way

Wait

[nocturne flicker]

This is actually the way

[fresh timber]

My 7700xt is stable

[lone mango]

My computer is on my desk so I wont really feel the warmth

[tranquil pebble]

probably should not be using Windows for GPGPU stuff anyways, least with AMD

[lone mango]

Plus there is a vent behind me

[pseudo raven]

i have an asus gpu

ill just not mine on it

[fresh timber]

9070xy limited it self to 12%

[nocturne flicker]

No heat on in the winter and playing games for a sustained period makes me agonize in the summer

[fresh timber]

9070xt at 40w is still making more than my 7700xt at full power lmfao

[pseudo raven]

i mean mining while gaming was cooked

because the right settings for mining are the polar opposite of whats good for gaming

[fresh timber]

Ima put a gpu in my nas and mine

[nocturne flicker]

I'll do the rest of my video compression in the winter to save on cooling

[pseudo raven]

lmao

[fresh timber]

Honestly I might get a 3060 and nine on it

My nas can hold it

[pseudo raven]

salad actually isnt bad

much better than regular mining anyway

[fresh timber]

Does it run on Linux

[pseudo raven]

dk

[fresh timber]

Idk if true nas will pass a gpu through kek

Container or something would work tho

Okay googling says it works on Linux

I might be able to get it to work on a container

[pseudo raven]

not worth on amd

well worth it on nvidia

[fresh timber]

Yeah

[pseudo raven]

instead of crypto you do ai

[fresh timber]

They don’t care about AMD

[pseudo raven]

on nvidia

amd cant really run much ai yet

[fresh timber]

Just implement rocm 😦

[pseudo raven]

rocm still not that good

but yeah

[fresh timber]

Good enough smh. LET ME USE IT

Should have bought a 5070ti

[pseudo raven]

cuda is king

unless youre googl

[nocturne flicker]

I don't like salad. The lettuce always tastes a bit like dirt

[unborn copper]

wegg

[nocturne flicker]

wegg

[fresh timber]

wegg

I disabled the 9070xt

Now I only make 24c a day

Lolll

You cannot mine with 9070xt orbit crashes

[idle nexus]

crypto is back?

cuz that would be awesome

[fresh timber]

Nah I’m bored

My gpu keeps crashing trying to do it

[idle nexus]

overclock RAM ez

[lone mango]

It will never be back

[idle nexus]

but I'm ready this time :(

[nocturne flicker]

Don't worry, they'll just shove it down your throat via influencing financial policy instead

[lone mango]

Buy the $10000 refrigerator sized asic

[fresh timber]

crypto is back

[idle nexus]

I can have 3 1080tis, a 3080ti, a 3070, 1070, 980ti, & maybe a couple 970s running in the next 24 hours

[fresh timber]

it crashes a few times and 9070xt starts running slower

[idle nexus]

lol 9070XT LHR edition ig

[fresh timber]

id keep doing it if it wasnt crashing

[idle nexus]

sucks ETH went all hippie & ruined my ez money

[fresh timber]

why they do that to us 😦

[lone mango]

Because the value of ether would go down

[idle nexus]

heck if I know

[fresh timber]

but i want low gpu stock and low eth

[idle nexus]

supposedly GPU mining was a very small part of it but I could be making it up I dunno

[fresh timber]

It crashed again

Ima stop mining

It aucks

[nocturne flicker]

They have dedicated machines for mining that made gpu mining a joke

At the end of the day a lot of people just wanted to buy gpus that gpu companies tend not to produce a lot of in order to cause a run on the pricing

I think we know well enough by now that they release them well before they have sufficient stock

[lone mango]

Well it also gets harder to mine every 4 years

I dont remember the metric but it gets harder to mine when there is more bitcoin

[lone mango]

@fresh timber yo dont sell your computer on jawa

[fresh timber]

I will

[lone mango]

You have to use stripe to connect to the account so you can get paid, but if you make over $600 in a year, you have to pay taxes on it

[fresh timber]

Oh

Taxes

Why do I have to pay taxes

I don’t make 15k a year

[lone mango]

Because of stripe

I think its part of what passed a while ago

Do you know of the thing where they said if you get 600 on cashapp you gotta pay taxes

I guess stripe was hit by that too

[fresh timber]

Wow

[lone mango]

I need a refresher on it hold on

Yeah it seems any third party platform

Although, the irs delayed it taking effect

And in 2024 the threshold was 5k

2025 tax year says 2500

[fresh timber]

Ima just sell locally with Zelle

[lone mango]

2026 tax year and beyond is when it is expected to take effect

[lone mango]

Trust they dont file cash back

Would be brutal if they file a claim

[fresh timber]

You can’t with Zelle

Lmfaoooo

Once you send it, rip

[lone mango]

Wait what lol

I thought you could

[fresh timber]

No

It has a warning too

[lone mango]

Yeah I know about the warning but I guess it shows that every time because you lose it

Makes more sense ig

[lone mango]

Which is this year

I wonder what about ebay

They dont mention ebay

Ok so ebay too

Basically anything besides zelle or cash

[fresh timber]

lol

[nocturne flicker]

You have to report every transaction of 600 or more. It'll come with a 1099-k during tax season. That income was already taxable anyways, now they just made the reporting rules stricter

[lone mango]

Ok but is the $600 taxed or do you just have to report it

Or do you report it because it will get taxed

That would make more sense

[fresh timber]

Don’t tell them

Shhh

[lone mango]

They file it

[fresh timber]

Do I get the money back

Or no

I’m under the threshold

I make Less than $15k a year

[nocturne flicker]

600 is the cap for 2026

Then you pay taxes on it

[fresh timber]

That’s stupid

So you pay taxes on that plus federal

[lone mango]

Yup

[fresh timber]

Just.. charge me federal tax

[nocturne flicker]

It is federal tax

It goes on a 1099k

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

I don’t pay taxes

Idfk what that is

[lone mango]

A type of tax form

[fresh timber]

And why do I have to pay that and file that

[lone mango]

Because the government needs every dollar to do bad things

[nocturne flicker]

It counts towards your total income. If you still have less than the standard deduction after that 1099k, you won't have income tax

[random temple]

FantasTech worth to wait for it?

[lone mango]

So only people who are making over that need to pay anything? I thought no matter what, if you made over 600 on those platforms you gotta do the 1099k

[fresh timber]

I’m still confused

[lone mango]

Good, thats by design

[fresh timber]

I make technically $0 a year

Do I still pay that

[lone mango]

[fresh timber]

I just wanna sell my pc man 😭

[nocturne flicker]

1099-k is considered a self employment form. It is added to your income. $400 or more in self employment income requires you to file taxes. If you income is still below the standard deduction, the income tax in your income is negated

[fresh timber]

Okay. But I don’t have income tax

I don’t have a income

[lone mango]

So you file it and nothing happens

[fresh timber]

So techncily I have to file

I’m just not going to

[lone mango]

Thats not the best idea

[nocturne flicker]

If you sell stuff and get paid for it, you have income

[lone mango]

[nocturne flicker]

The 1099k will state what the income was. That'd go onto your tax return

[fresh timber]

Yeah I never started

🤑🤑

My financial advisor told me what I needed

[lone mango]

Thank you grok

[icy ore]

Spawn point

[nocturne flicker]

Oh yes I forgot about self employment tax

Yes, that is for your FICA taxes

[fresh timber]

Yeah ima ask spawn point everything

She handles that stuff

Cause Idfk what I’m doing

[nocturne flicker]

Oh you'd also have to calculate your profits and loss if it qualifies as an actual business and not a hobby.

[lone mango]

We out here making $50 per computer

[nocturne flicker]

The standard for which is you do it for profit and you do it with 'continuity and regularity'

[fresh timber]

Lmfao I have no idea how much I’ll make

[lone mango]

I guess I deal with facebook marketplace

[fresh timber]

Lmfa same

[lone mango]

Lmao

[fresh timber]

Ugh bright

Government don’t gotta know

[dense locust]

https://tenor.com/view/too-bright-bocchi-the-rock-gif-27653431

[fresh timber]

I want these fans

[nocturne flicker]

I mean if you do everything via a non business account they won't know it is a business transaction. You just lose all of the protections a business account has

[fresh timber]

It’s not even a business that’s registered

It’s just me selling computers for fun

I buy computer, I sell it

Repeate

[lone mango]

Repaste

[fresh timber]

Real

The first pc is just cause I want to get rid of it

lol

I could sell everything separately kek

[lone mango]

Its 600 for the whole year

So it dont matter

Cash wins I guess

[fresh timber]

Yeah that’s stupid

[fresh timber]

That’s what ima do when

[nocturne flicker]

Again, the requirements for business is you do it for profit and with regularity and continuity for tax purposes. For payment services you can just use personal accounts and it'll be considered gift income so there is no concern. You just don't have protections

[fresh timber]

Cash

[fresh timber]

Oh good, I’ll have no regularity’s

He’ll I’ll prob loose money in the process

im prob goin be making the same pc over and over

lol

i can make it for arlund $550 before tax

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9qgtdb 👅

mhh i wonder if theirs cheaper cases that look just as good

[lone mango]

Not sure ypu can get much cheaper than that

[fresh timber]

yeah probably not

idk cheaper gpus

2070?

2070s are cheap

are they good

they cheap

[sinful blade]

Pretty on price

The official Jawa store is fantastic for GPUs

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-hitori-gotou-gif-27023162

[fresh timber]

yeah

i feel like a 5500+2070 would be cheaper and still sell at the price i like

if i can make 50-100 on every pc im honestly happy

[sinful blade]

That’s my goal

[lone mango]

https://louqe.com/products/ghost-s1-mkiii?variant=47985505894741

$210

https://tenor.com/view/junkofalling-gif-16503562369384728459

[fresh timber]

my next build might include the 7700xt so i can use some of the money for bettert gpus for my usecase

i wanna get a a310 for nas

and.. a better case

[rancid juniper]

Still no b310 from intel

🗿

I really hope they're making em bruh

[lone mango]

Is there even a point

[rancid juniper]

Probably not, it's getting way too late

[fresh timber]

small

powerful

very popular in homelab

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts5Fhrxaobo omg i found my next case

[lone mango]

a310 is already super efficient

[fresh timber]

i wouldnt be suprised if i could play minecraft on it

[lone mango]

This is the cheapest I can find

https://ebay.us/m/FsOxs9

Rest are like 150-160

[fresh timber]

good price $110

$150 is too high

'and u want the sparkle low profile one

[lone mango]

Lp bracket is included

[lone mango]

Might as well get this lol
https://ebay.us/m/czJepr

[fresh timber]

oh. its a 420

[sinful blade]

Intel, just give me a b770

[lone mango]

Damn so someone just got it

[fresh timber]

no

[rancid juniper]

Insane dreaming

[sinful blade]

24GB for $499

[fresh timber]

https://havn.global/products/hs-420 this website wont load

[rancid juniper]

I'm also coping

[fresh timber]

i would buy that

[lone mango]

It was a b580 for 160

[sinful blade]

Intel would upend the whole ecosystem

[fresh timber]

dream case

i just need.. a bunch of 140mm fans

[lone mango]

Sorry wrong card

[nocturne flicker]

Intel shall become the new AMD Radeon division. Never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity

[lone mango]

Nah they seem to take it more seriously

[fresh timber]

to get that case ill need a 420mm aio and 120mm fans

easy

[lone mango]

They probably dont have the resources, but it does seem like there is something bigger coming

[sinful blade]

Hopefully

Having a 12gb come out at $299 is already wild

[fresh timber]

not insane

that should be normal

change my mind

[sinful blade]

I’m talking in the current pricing market

12gb on an nvidia card is still $450+

Used

[lone mango]

Welcome back 6700 xt

[sinful blade]

6700xt is still $300+ used

Mostly

[fresh timber]

okay i have burgers, bacon, annd chicken paddies.. what should i do

[lone mango]

Well right now yeah

[rancid juniper]

8gb gpus, honestly don't understand why they still make em

[fresh timber]

idk why

9060xt

[rancid juniper]

One bozo would argue "1080p"

But those games would exceed that easy

[sinful blade]

Most people still play in 1080p

Some play in 2k

[lone mango]

Most utilization I have seen at 1440p was like 7.1 GiB, so like 7.2 gigs

[sinful blade]

And a generally small amount play in 4k

[lone mango]

Thank you linux

[rancid juniper]

2k???

NBA 2k25

WWE 2k25

[random temple]

is there a free shipping if my order is more than 700$ ?

[nocturne flicker]

Take Two...times the cash

[sinful blade]

1440p

[sinful blade]

Depends on company, not wegg

[lone mango]

2k is one of those things like how people say bios instead of uefi

[fresh timber]

simple, the guy who helped make them

[lone mango]

2k is really more like 1080p

[rancid juniper]

(games probably not in UE5)

[lone mango]

1440p is 2.5k

[fresh timber]

ue5 uses so little for me

fortnite performance mode

[rancid juniper]

This guy dude... Every time he talks it gets bad

[fresh timber]

👅

[sinful blade]

I hate to say he’s right

But he’s right

[fresh timber]

okay, but dont make the 8gb gpu $50 cheaper than the 16gb one

[rancid juniper]

Time and time again fortnite is one of those few UE5 games that take little resources because it's made by the engine creators

[lone mango]

And 4k is not actually 4k, which is why its called uhd but it is pretty close to 4k

[fresh timber]

and u said ue5 so i picked the 1%

[rancid juniper]

Bruh

Alr

[fresh timber]

marvel rivals runs good too, im seeing similar specs to me run 200+fps

[lone mango]

Fortnite still has pretty brual frametimes compared to soemthing like doom, even dark ages

[fresh timber]

valorant is swaping to ue5 and they are claiming better performance than ue4

[lone mango]

Frametime spikes

[random temple]

but newegg delievers it mostly, before they had this offer but now im not sure

[fresh timber]

im ngl i dont get those issues

[rancid juniper]

Marvel rivals jokingly takes too much for its looks

[fresh timber]

or they are so small i dont see it

[sinful blade]

What’s the listing

[lone mango]

Fortnite is good when you turn the unreal 5 selling points off, so like medium and below

[rancid juniper]

You can run it at ultra without lumen and still get mid fps

[nocturne flicker]

Vextro is in the hands of the top 1%, they own 50% of all frames while the 99% are left with nothing

[fresh timber]

OMG THE HAVEN CASE HAS DRIVE STORAGE

[sinful blade]

1660S can run it no problem

[lone mango]

Do not turn on lumen, which turns on when you use the high preset

[sinful blade]

Not sure how

[fresh timber]

my friend has a 1660 super and 5500 and he runs it just fine

[rancid juniper]

Native no upscaling + FG?

[sinful blade]

Yup

[fresh timber]

u dont need FG to get 60fps in rivals

most u need is upscaling

[sinful blade]

I think it averages like 80+?

[lone mango]

So fortnite at medium and below is good

[rancid juniper]

Interesting

[fresh timber]

coomppper

[lone mango]

Unless you have high and turn off lumen manually

[fresh timber]

they optmised rivals from when everyone made fun of them

[lone mango]

Then that is ok too

[fresh timber]

i think they should have called the 9070xt the 9070xtx and 9070 the 9070xt

[nocturne flicker]

Coompooper

[fresh timber]

that leaves room for even more gpus between them

[rancid juniper]

Tbh it could've been a 9050 instead

[fresh timber]

9070gre could have been called the 9070

[rancid juniper]

Sussy

[nocturne flicker]

Did someone say sus?!?!!!?!?!?

[fresh timber]

i wish they anmmed it 9070xtx

[lone mango]

9060 xt 8 gig should just not exist

[fresh timber]

it should exist at a cheaper price

[rancid juniper]

This is facts I stand by

[fresh timber]

not $50 less

[lone mango]

That twitter post doesnt make a whole lot of sense

[fresh timber]

it should be a $250 card max

[sinful blade]

@rancid juniper

[lone mango]

There should just be no 8 gig version

[fresh timber]

sure it can, at $200

[rancid juniper]

This guy frank azor thinks a gamer would run one genre of games for like 5+ years

Oh wait...

Crap

[fresh timber]

we do

hes not wrong

[lone mango]

9060, 9060 xt 16 gig, 9070 gre, etc

[rancid juniper]

I just realized

[fresh timber]

iv been playing shooters for how many years now

[lone mango]

Simplifies the lineup too

[rancid juniper]

But even still I find it to be bad value

[fresh timber]

iv been playing fortnite sense i was in 3rd grade.. i just graduated

...

[rancid juniper]

That's

Not a great achievement bro

[fresh timber]

its a video game?

[lone mango]

How

[fresh timber]

i didnt say i play it as much as i used to

[nocturne flicker]

Is that why you can't spell since?

[lone mango]

It came out in 2017

[rancid juniper]

Some people play that religiously

[lone mango]

Wait thats 8 years

[fresh timber]

3rd/4th grade, it came out one of those

[lone mango]

Ok yeah 4th

Wait

No wonder

[nocturne flicker]

You whippersnappers

[fresh timber]

i choose to spell it how i like

[nocturne flicker]

Back in my day

[fresh timber]

yeah...

[lone mango]

No wonder you get the theirs wrong

Playing fortnite instead of grammer

[fresh timber]

gamers have been playing the same crap for 8 years

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

Split gate 2 dev after saying FPS games are too stale

Introduces battle royale after

🔥

[lone mango]

Incredible

[rancid juniper]

Simply marvelous

[fresh timber]

this case is cool. the things labled storage can fit hdds or you cann remove it and put fans, and u can pick to angle the bottom fans if u like

[lone mango]

Thats the lian li right

[fresh timber]

:0

[nocturne flicker]

Back in my day we had to hike three miles in the snow through a hail storm on our skis in order to get to school without a phone or a gps 👴

[fresh timber]

havan

[rancid juniper]

Open the case and you'll get a personal heater during winter

[fresh timber]

chat would u rather have 4 hdds, or 8ssds, OR fans

[lone mango]

Gn tested a case like this and it got better thermals in a normal config

[fresh timber]

idk how id configure that case

[lone mango]

So like when it was set up like a o11

[fresh timber]

so no angled fans storage on the side

[lone mango]

I think it depends on how they implemented it tbh

Because perhaps it was still blowing hot air into the card

[fresh timber]

i guess that makes sense, clearler airflow path

if they made a 360 verson of that case id get it

i dont need sata storage anyways so id just not use it

the 360 verson is just this

[lone mango]

Wait I think that was it

Yes it was

https://youtu.be/v7aRWcM0AFE

[fresh timber]

they used the vgpu verson

they have two versons

[lone mango]

Idk how I remember this

[fresh timber]

i wanna save $300 for that case..

do i

[lone mango]

Definitely not

You could make that yourself probably

[fresh timber]

thats like 3-6 pcs i gotta sell

[lone mango]

Or get that $210 itx case if you wanna blow some money

[fresh timber]

im not going to make my persoanl itx

my persoanll will always be overkill and stupid

[lone mango]

And have a super tiny case

Oh

[icy ore]

Wtf 💀

[lone mango]

gamers nexus website goes hard

[fresh timber]

cloud

2070 or 3060 for flip

will timmy know the diffrence if i show fortnite fps

[lone mango]

3060 definitely costs way more

[fresh timber]

$50-100 more depends on how good im hunting

yeah

lowest 2070 i found was $160

is that good value

would u recommend that to people

[lone mango]

The blower

[fresh timber]

yeah

[lone mango]

Its gonna be noisy

[fresh timber]

cheap

and guess waht

if i got similar or that i wouldnt have to hear it 👅

[lone mango]

They might not like it

They wont know but again people treat computer like an appliance, so they probably wont even be able to tell depending on how normie they are

[fresh timber]

man

if they dont know its loud

they goin buy it and find out

and by then. not mines

[lone mango]

Yeah I keep thinking someone with knowledge will buy these

I guess it doesnt matter

I need to change this mindset

But basically both cards are identical

[fresh timber]

it doesnt matter what the build is

if it gets good fps

any problems after its sold is not mines

[lone mango]

If anything, the super is a couple % faster

[fresh timber]

if the psu blows up, not my problem

[fresh timber]

i just wana show it gettin 200fps in forntite lol

and it will

if anything i put the 2070 in my main rig and say, see look timmy! its fast

[upper rain]

12GB sells

20 series does not sell very well

[fresh timber]

No sell well?

Darn

I was going to slide a 2070 in the rig

Pray Timmy don’t know what that is

[upper rain]

idk if the normies have caught on to the fact that Ampere is older than some of the server members now (), but Turing, at least traditionally has not sold particularly well from what i recall

i certainly struggled more selling my Turings than anything else

[lone mango]

300 fps average

[fresh timber]

What’s turning

Idk code names

[lone mango]

This is probably performance settings tho

turing is 2000

[upper rain]

what si the premium for going 3060 over 2070?

[upper rain]

2000/1600 series

aside from 2050, that one is Ampere bc Nvidia is silly

[fresh timber]

Oh

[fresh timber]

2070 is cheaper

[pastel smelt]

today i learned that count dooku, saruman, dracula, and james bond are all the same person

[upper rain]

mhm, by how much?

[fresh timber]

$50-100 depending on how good you are at finding deals

[upper rain]

$50 is worth it imo. idk if $100 is... i've been out of the reselling game for a while

the vram genuinely does sell, and 2000 series is a little iffy at times, especially if ur selling locally to normies. HWS is a little different

[fresh timber]

Hws people know what to look for

You can’t scam them

[upper rain]

yes

[fresh timber]

It I list in hws I can’t over inflate my piece like I will on every other platform

I migjt be able to sell my pc for $650 on hws max

[upper rain]

yeah pretty much lol

9070 xt's are selling for $1100 on ebay rn it's absolutely absurd

[fresh timber]

I could resell

Profit

Go back to micro center and buy a new one

[upper rain]

you can just buy them new for $800. consistently. it's so weird lmao

[upper rain]

real lol

[lone mango]

Should I do that

[fresh timber]

It’s not scalping in my mind if your stupid enough to buy from eBay

[upper rain]

genuinely you couod just order them for $850'or whatever off newegg/amazon and flip them on ebay, like idgi. why are these imbecils spending $1100 on used/open box cards that are widey availavle for $300 less

[fresh timber]

I’m selling my rx6600+5500 pc for $650 tho

Maybe $700

[upper rain]

my typing is going to hell i need to sleep lol

gn guys, rest well

[fresh timber]

I could do $700 then discount it to $650

[fresh timber]

I need to talk to you when you woke

I need pricing suggestions

[lone mango]

$100 profit

Wait a minute

No

Ebay is taking $100 in fees

So what is he doing

[upper rain]

$2500, put it in a fishtabk case with lots of rgb

okay gn

will discuss properly tomorrow

[fresh timber]

😭😭😭

[fresh timber]

Bet

[upper rain]

the mailamn is my husband 🫃

[fresh timber]

I'm hungry

[lone mango]

I think you'll need more than that if hungry

[cursive oasis]

Bacon

[nocturne flicker]

Baycon. Power up your everyday

[fresh timber]

Watching my weight

I gave up

I made 2 burgers

[lone mango]

Thats still not even that many calories

[idle nexus]

you may want to cook more bacon than that then

Rocky theme playing

[idle nexus]

this seems like way more work doing dishes than it's worth lmao

[fresh timber]

Who said I did the dishes

[idle nexus]

heck I guess I shouldn't assume

[fresh timber]

[sinful blade]

Ye

I can’t add any emojis

[fresh timber]

If you yap with me I’ll consider contributing

[sinful blade]

I have nothin to yap about

[fresh timber]

But I do

:)))9

[lone mango]

A lot emojis are completely unused

[hoary zodiac]

I think you need

[fresh timber]

I contributed

[sinful blade]

We cleaned out like 30

[sinful blade]

Those need to stay due to things above my pay grade

[proud jackal]

so much newegg history wiped out by roomba

[hoary zodiac]

Nobody uses the egg emojis

[lone mango]

sailormoonhappy

[hoary zodiac]

They'd be the first on the chopping block imo

[lone mango]

mushstare

[hoary zodiac]

Oh wtf

[exotic ingot]

purely aesthetic, ROG or Nitro card in this build

[sinful blade]

I actually do

[sinful blade]

Nitro

[hoary zodiac]

I'm not used to seeing bro in this color

[lone mango]

I think rog

[hoary zodiac]

Nitro imo

[sinful blade]

The ROG is just too grey

[hoary zodiac]

Strix looks bulky

[sinful blade]

The nitro looks like it fits in

[hoary zodiac]

Nitro is more sleek

[fresh timber]

I boosted

Listen to my yap

[sinful blade]

Danke

[lone mango]

Oh you know what I see now

[hoary zodiac]

Wait a second...

Is that...

[lone mango]

The silver on the nitro matches the rest of the accents in the build

[hoary zodiac]

Is that what I think it is?

[upper wedge]

I open up Woot tonight and see the most god awful deals

[lone mango]

[exotic ingot]

uh?

idk?

[sinful blade]

@exotic ingot ANSWER FOR YOUR CRIMES

Corsair ram

[fresh timber]

I wanna build this https://youtu.be/AiZ9QWJxs_k?si=Zk3wQe4Z2C9Gc90e

[upper wedge]

Is that upside down ram 🤯

[sinful blade]

[exotic ingot]

yeah, vengance kit

[hoary zodiac]

That looks like Vengeance LPX

Oh

[exotic ingot]

yep

[hoary zodiac]

💀

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-bell-game-of-thrones-walk-of-atonement-cersei-lannister-gif-16635977892557113898

[exotic ingot]

lol

[fresh timber]

I have Corsair too

[exotic ingot]

what happened to LPX to make it a bad thing now?

[fresh timber]

Corsair good at OC

[hoary zodiac]

They've always been bad

Well

DDR4 that is

[fresh timber]

@sinful blade you ignored my yap

[icy ore]

Corsehair

[sinful blade]

Build that

[hoary zodiac]

DDR5 isn't as bad but there are still better kits

[frigid stag]

They had bdie before its good

[fresh timber]

I want that case

[exotic ingot]

pssssh

LPX is cheap

good enough

[fresh timber]

Really I want it

[fresh timber]

Does it Xmp

[sinful blade]

Get the segotep gank 360 RGB

[exotic ingot]

and i still have like 5 kits of it left

[fresh timber]

Ur funny

[upper wedge]

can you do a ram spread

[exotic ingot]

i bought 10 kits of it

havent had a problem yet

[fresh timber]

I want

[fresh timber]

I have two kits that can oc lol

[exotic ingot]

idk with this one, havent booted it

[hoary zodiac]

As long as it runs as xmp

It's probably fine

[exotic ingot]

yeah its some cheap 3600mhz

for flip PC builds

[hoary zodiac]

Corsair DDR4 does have a higher RMA rate

[fresh timber]

Do they rma it

[hoary zodiac]

Which is why I usually just go for the cheapest kit which is usually better for some reason

[exotic ingot]

yeah, at the time i bought it, it was on some sale

[hoary zodiac]

Corsair DDR4 doesn't have the best quality control

Even compared to lesser known brands like SP or Patriot

[fresh timber]

G.skill is my lowest end ram

[sinful blade]

I can’t even remember what my ram is

[fresh timber]

Mr

[sinful blade]

XPG SPECTRIX D50

That’s it

Tall as hell

[fresh timber]

Your new gpu

[hoary zodiac]

Sounds like someone needs a RK120

[sinful blade]

If you’re buying it

[hoary zodiac]

8GB
$299

[exotic ingot]

i guess at the time i bought the ram it was a decent deal now it seems mid

[fresh timber]

Yes

3070 cost more with 8gb

[hoary zodiac]

Would be funny

[fresh timber]

I think you can

[hoary zodiac]

To see a 8700K running 6000

[fresh timber]

https://www.tech-critter.com/toppc-set-new-ddr4-6000-world-record/

[exotic ingot]

so, the Nitro card is actually the better GPU too @sinful blade @hoary zodiac

[fresh timber]

I have that

[hoary zodiac]

Yeah not surprised

Asus makes slop

[exotic ingot]

RX 6800 vs the Strix 3070

[fresh timber]

Nah

[exotic ingot]

was on the fence about which card to go with

i'll save the 3070 for something else

[hoary zodiac]

It's good card

In terms of a flip

[exotic ingot]

now to figure out what i should list this build for

[hoary zodiac]

It's got the aesthetics

[exotic ingot]

been so long

[hoary zodiac]

Since it's 2025

$1500

Nah that's too much

$1250 or something like that

[exotic ingot]

oh yeah this dumb bot

has "stuff" gotten that bad lately? lol

[hoary zodiac]

The gpu market is still pretty inflated rn so

You can sell it for a fat profit

Wait really?

That'd be extremely funny

[sinful blade]

I still need a new gpu

[fresh timber]

This gpu is sexy

[exotic ingot]

R7 5800x
360mm RGB AIO
ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570
32GB DDR4 2600mhz
2TB Gen 3 NVMe
Nitro+ RX 6800 16GB
Core P3 open air case
ROG Strix 750W 80+ Gold PSU

is the spec

[fresh timber]

Slow ram

[hoary zodiac]

You know what

[lone mango]

You should see what I sent last night

[hoary zodiac]

Shot for $1600

[sinful blade]

Go by Jawa prices -$50~$100

[lone mango]

Ill find it hold on

[hoary zodiac]

You have the aesthetics

[exotic ingot]

hence why i was debating about the strix 3070

making it all a strix build

[lone mango]

Deceptive

[exotic ingot]

lol

[fresh timber]

They techncily start at $300

[hoary zodiac]

The aesthetics + inflated gpu prices can give you a fat profit margin

[lone mango]

This is why the 8 gig version should not exist

[hoary zodiac]

You could probably sell the strix for the same price too

Since strix tax

[fresh timber]

Just read and see that it’s a 8gb model

[exotic ingot]

i orginally had it specced with a 5950x and the 3070, but i stole the 5950x for my second PC and now im putting in the 6800

idk what i paid for the 6800

was too long ago

oh

wait no i have that saved

i paid $250 for the RX 6800

[sinful blade]

I need a new gpu

[proud jackal]

same

[exotic ingot]

i have a 4080 collecting dust

🤷

[sinful blade]

I am using a 1660 super

[exotic ingot]

litterally sat on my shelf for a year at least

[sinful blade]

May I have
A fellow wegg

[lone mango]

Now is the time to sell

Unironically

[exotic ingot]

[lone mango]

[sinful blade]

Well, it was my fault lmao

[exotic ingot]

A lot of the techies were inactive
Some mods were

[exotic ingot]

oh i bet, i went down a rabbit hole of GTA RP

[exotic ingot]

the last thing i remember looking at was the change from just everyone being yellow to being more specific

[fresh timber]

I buy wife 5090 ok

[sinful blade]

Pls

[lone mango]

No

Melting risk higher

5080

[fresh timber]

Too poor

[frigid stag]

Funniest thing I’ve seen today was some kid with a gt210 saying 50 series is “trash”

[sinful blade]

Yeah, Felix, fal, and Bacca left due to personal reasons, that gave some issues
So whole structure was changed

[frigid stag]

Can’t make this stuff up

[exotic ingot]

well. i plan on becoming more active. been away too long. gotta get back to doin builds

[fresh timber]

I want

[sinful blade]

Were you interested in becoming a techie again

[exotic ingot]

[fresh timber]

Techie what do I do with 9070xt

[sinful blade]

Should I hold off on promoting you to your previous status

[exotic ingot]

[fresh timber]

Computer blew up, now what

[frigid stag]

What’s ending

[lone mango]

[exotic ingot]

[sinful blade]

My gpu doesn’t let me play games I want to play

[lone mango]

Pregant

[frigid stag]

Same with mine it’s acting weird

[lone mango]

Pregant was removed

[fresh timber]

I keep crashing too

[sinful blade]

Mine physically doesn’t have the ability to play oblivion

[lone mango]

Pregant is back

[frigid stag]

I might just switch back

Gtx just always worked

[sinful blade]

I’ll trade you

[fresh timber]

Techie man want this

[frigid stag]

I could shunt mod and liquid metal my 980 tiand it would still work fine

[frigid stag]

I don’t have much to trade

[exotic ingot]

i have a cool old case i need to find an ITX build for

[fresh timber]

I want

[exotic ingot]

this has been sitting under one of my desks for a couple years and i wanna find something to do with it

[sinful blade]

I just refurbished an old smoker’s stacker 830
Repainted and deep cleaned

Ignore the cables, I have ties on the way

[exotic ingot]

smoker builds are the worst

hate them

[exotic ingot]

you broke many of my rules of taking PC photos

[sinful blade]

Comparing the fan housing

[sinful blade]

They were quick pics

[lone mango]

Does it still smell

[exotic ingot]

[sinful blade]
