general-chat

[elfin mural]

well, they're also in it too

[twilit stone]

cheapest legit one i could find

[elfin mural]

trying to sell ai products so hard

[dense locust]

thats 5090 astral msrp

[twilit stone]

ik

its insane

[rancid juniper]

isn't 32gb still insufficient for LLMs anyway?

[elfin mural]

yes

for huge models, it's not enough

[tranquil pebble]

ofc they are... any company is going to jump on any bandwagon they think might make them money

[dense locust]

oh dang

microcenter has a 5080 miku in stock

[rancid juniper]

so why is this getting inflated?

[elfin mural]

demand

[dense locust]

LLM lite

[twilit stone]

i had the opportunity to buy the astral LC for msrp kinda regret kinda dont cuz its so much

[elfin mural]

there's enough gamers and basic home ai users

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[elfin mural]

for demand to be high

[rancid juniper]

whats the cheapest 7900 XTX for sale

[elfin mural]

some ppl run lighter LLMs at home

[dense locust]

hey at least 5070 is in stock everywhere

[rancid juniper]

nobody wants that

[dense locust]

oh

dang

[elfin mural]

atp it's not a bad deal

damn, 5070ti at msrp

[twilit stone]

can they just like yk make more 5090s pls

[rancid juniper]

@opaque sedge buy it

[twilit stone]

like amazon sells out instantly same with bestbuy

its so annoying

[elfin mural]

5090s don't make as much money as ai chips

[dense locust]

imagine if microcenter wasnt in store only

[elfin mural]

so nvidia won't make enough of em

[twilit stone]

i hate AI

ruining everything

[rancid juniper]

🗿

[dense locust]

well there's only one thing to do

https://www.centralcomputer.com/nvidia-rtx-pro-6000-blackwell-workstation-96gb-gddr7-24-064-cuda-cores-pci-express-5-0-x16-600w-bulk-900-5g144-2200-000-01.html

[twilit stone]

blowup the ai data centers!

[dense locust]

buy 2 of them for $400 off

[twilit stone]

bro

wtf

8 grand

im good !

[dense locust]

but you get 96gb of ram for your ai needs

[twilit stone]

screw ai

[dense locust]

and 11% more performance than a 5090

[twilit stone]

for like 3x its price

[dense locust]

4x the ram

oh its 3x

i can math

[rancid juniper]

this freaking laptop has more value than all the 5070 ti's listed rn

because atleast you can use the entire thing

[dense locust]

5070 ti laptop isnt the same

[twilit stone]

when yall think 5090s gonna be sitting on shelfs again

will it be awhile

or like until they instock for atleast like an hr or 2 so i can actually purchase one

[dense locust]

my god

the 5070 has more cuda cores than a 5070ti laptop

[rancid juniper]

...

[twilit stone]

laptop gpus are booty

[tranquil pebble]

Anyone know if hybrid graphics works well on Linux?

[dense locust]

its basically a 5070 but less cuda cores

laptops are sad tbh

[elfin mural]

it's a 5060ti

basically

but for laptops that's a great price

[dense locust]

it has more than a 5060ti

[elfin mural]

never has 12gb vram been this cheap to access

[dense locust]

its a weird in-between

[elfin mural]

due to the lower tdp

it performs closely like a 5060ti

(provided it is 140w)

[twilit stone]

also do yall know if 5090 restocks happen randomly or what cuz today there have been like none but last week there where alot daily

[elfin mural]

laptops aren't as good as desktops for the same price, but it's getting there.. eventually

or never, seeing as the ai boom is doing its thing

[dense locust]

check tracking websites

[twilit stone]

i have hotstock

[dense locust]

https://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/rtx5090/

i have used this one

this is reminding me of early 2025

when i used this website to buy a 5080

had to go for a bundle

but hey

i got a monitor out of it

[elfin mural]

all i want is just a laptop with 12gb vram

[rancid juniper]

The only GPU that matches it's desktop counterpart afaik is the RTX 4060

The difference is just clockspeed and tdp

[elfin mural]

and 5060

5050 too

[dense locust]

there's an sn850x for $320

in stock

do i buy it

[elfin mural]

8tb?

[dense locust]

4tb

[elfin mural]

or 4

[twilit stone]

they all out of stock 😭

[elfin mural]

ah

[rancid juniper]

Nice to know

[dense locust]

yup

its bad

[twilit stone]

cooked

all prob cuz that one rumor

it was fine 2 weeks ago

[proud jackal]

do it

[rancid juniper]

Someone please make SATA IV

[dense locust]

i just bought a 5080 miku

i cant afford it

maybe if i sell my old 5080

i already use a 4tb 990 pro

as a boot drive

[twilit stone]

where

[dense locust]

i think im good for now

[dense locust]

walmart

its local only

if your nearest walmart is oos no dice

[twilit stone]

i lowk need sotrage

but its expensive 2

its $600 for me

[dense locust]

reseller prob

[twilit stone]

why is storage all of a sudden expensive 2

what happend

[dense locust]

hey send me the money and ill ship you the drive

[twilit stone]

like wtf

[rancid juniper]

Crime against the people

[twilit stone]

no like actually is this from ai?

[rancid juniper]

When one stick is more expensive than an entire PS5 pro

These PS5 bundles are nuts on newegg

[dense locust]

ps5 users cant afford to upgrade storage now

[rancid juniper]

Truly a marvelous time for gamers

[dense locust]

switch 2 sales fell off a cliff

and it didnt even go up in price

[rancid juniper]

Xbox barely existing

[dense locust]

ai is like the masking tape holding up our economy

[rancid juniper]

And once it tears....

Heh

[opaque sedge]

I might have to do the same

[dense locust]

people want ai to fail but i fear both ai continuing and failing

[rancid juniper]

Destructive success?

[lone mango]

Task failed successfully

[opaque sedge]

I am extremely conflicted abt generative ai in its common forms (llms and video and img generators) but ml advancements would be nice tho

@rancid juniper imagine if future robot companies use training data from the arc robots from arc raiders particularly locomotion

[lone mango]

Ssd prices are up because of “ai” demand

That drive was always really overpriced though

Sometimes prices are jacked on newegg

[twilit stone]

ugh

[dense locust]

the price is about the same on bestbuy

[twilit stone]

whats gonna go up next

cpus

or motherboards

[dense locust]

yes

[lone mango]

Ok so then that is the actual price of the ssd

Better drives are cheaper though

[lone mango]

I saw some article saying power supplies could but doubt it

[dense locust]

least insane redditor

[opaque sedge]

Apparently psus and heatsinks

There’s a copper shortage now apparently

I love the 21st century

[lone mango]

Graphics cards, storage and ram going up means less systems being built

So idk how psus would go up

[dense locust]

i live in copper state i guess

[icy ore]

Will sell 32gb ddr5 for $1500 to make up for my broken gpu

[rancid juniper]

Heck no

[opaque sedge]

Embarks made some awesome tech yk

[rancid juniper]

I wonder if CPU prices will go down due to less demand

I want to cop a 14900k for <$200

[tranquil pebble]

just gotta hope it doesn't turn into a Corpse i7 14900k

[rancid juniper]

Hot chip moment

[lone mango]

I can sell my gskill ddr4 kit for a profit

Nvm

[sinful blade]

@worn night b580 or 2080ti

[rancid juniper]

marble

[sinful blade]

Which is better

For 1080p

[rancid juniper]

b580

[sinful blade]

Okay

[rancid juniper]

tho...

[sinful blade]

Hmmm

It’s not that much of a difference

[rancid juniper]

https://youtu.be/q0cpcMw7Ipw?si=8dLv3Sn4-lv-bRRQ

[sinful blade]

I think I’m gonna go with the 2080ti if this guy holds true.

[rancid juniper]

2080ti wins in raw power and still has support for dlss 4.0+

[opaque sedge]

Doesn’t dlss 4 like not even 4.5 have a performance cut on the 30 and 20 series?

[rancid juniper]

yes, thats why i typed 4.0+ instead of 4.5

[opaque sedge]

Man i saw this gpu market crap from like the past 3 generations and was still stupidly complacent when prices were stable for like a month max

[lone mango]

No, that is a big difference

The inverse of that is 25% faster

[royal crow]

We got gta 5 before gta 6

[opaque sedge]

We got a gigantic economic bubble before gta6

We got AI bfr gta 6

I'm still waiting on a non-microslop halo game

[worn night]

2080ti

[worn night]

infinite's campaign is the best so far and doesnt have micro transactions

halo 5 is great multiplayer

[opaque sedge]

Whats halo like?

[royal crow]

In terms of campaign, CE, 2, 3, odst, and reach are great, 4 is good(mostly) never played 5 but nearly everyone I've watched or talked to hates it, and infinite is fun when you're engaged in battle but for the other 60% of the game it's mediocre at best, also the characters were all written... poorly

Good rule to follow is of bungie made it it's good

343(now halo studios because everyone hates them) kinda ruined it

Halo reach is by far the best campaign, hands down

But play it after finishing the main trilogy

[opaque sedge]

So a campaign fps game?

What kind of theme?

[royal crow]

Fight aliens in power armor

[royal crow]

Yeah

I already have it i was js sending it to em

[sinful blade]

I love whenever people come at me with the knowledge of a 5 year old with GPU’s

4070 ti was never mentioned in my listing

Just a 4070

[tranquil pebble]

Would there be much of a performance penalty to enabling hybrid graphics on my desktop?

[elfin mural]

nope

it'll increase cpu temps tho since igpu is utilized

it was paypal 20% cash back

they stopped doing it

[nocturne flicker]

Paypal has plenty of excess money and really wanted people to get used to pay in 4

[dense locust]

what do they get out of pay in 4?

[nocturne flicker]

After all, once people are comfortable taking small loans out via pay in 4 and get people in the habit of doing it, then you can quietly roll out fees and charges when they aren't looking

[misty sparrow]

I hope they bring it back for fun

I missed out on it

[nocturne flicker]

Zip did it afterall

And they were pretty successful

[opaque sedge]

So they’re late to the game?

Damn why’s their stock so low

[elfin mural]

at least in thailand they're transparent about fees and interest rate

because well, the law forces em to send me documents to read first

the US, however.. is a different beast altogether

[nocturne flicker]

Also quad pay companies and programs are able to charge higher merchant fees

[elfin mural]

damn

[nocturne flicker]

Merchants will eat it because quad pay is such a big draw for specific types of customers

[elfin mural]

adding a lil more onto the point regarding the country i live in, i can also apparently build credit by paying in installments here lmao

the companies handing out said loans are forced to report to the credit bureau

the changes were implemented in late 2025

[nocturne flicker]

Afterpay is 6% and Zip does 4% iirc, don't know what PayPal does, but CCs are normally 2-3% per transaction

this goes on the far right of the mobo next tot he ram, can put i believe 2 m.2 storage in there

[dense locust]

Truly innovators of the century

[proud smelt]

rog is their highest quality products, it has a unique value proposition added to it

[dense locust]

What’s your tax rate

It could be lower than here

[proud smelt]

whatever state u live in

[random osprey]

rog typically has more features or features that most companies dont really do or not as often for the rog models

[proud smelt]

hell yea, exactly what i said

[random osprey]

such as that dimm.2

not often you see that on normal stuff

[dense locust]

Asus is premium I’ll give them that

[random osprey]

i also believe theyre one of the few companies that dont void your warranty if something goes bork from an oc

[dense locust]

But they also Asus tax non rog products

Like locking the post code to motherboards $500 and up

I’m gonna assume it’s Ritalin, that’s the most common. How long have you been on it?

Ritalin can have you display flu like symptoms when it’s wearing off for the day

[velvet summit]

To be fair, vodka (assuming it's just distilled alcohol and distilled water and nothing else) could be fine as long as enough time is given to let the water content (like 30-60%) evaporate off, which considering they used a hairdryer, they probably didn't wait like at least overnight?

that could be the case

What are we thinking nvidia is gonna name the 6xxx series bc i doubt it’ll be 6080/6090

Probably something dumb like 528xx5$-2powerhungryexpensiveedition

[opaque sedge]

It doesn’t look like they’re gonna give the xx80 card as much love as the xx90 so smth in between would be nice ngl an xx80ti for example

[nocturne flicker]

5080 Super except the 5 is scratched out and replaced with a sticker with the number 6 and the Super has been painted over

Also, there'll only be one of them and 10 6090 cards that sell for 10k each at msrp

[dusk knot]

🗿

Also best buy is the WORST PLACE TO BUY A GPU as there are tens of thousands of bots that monitor each GPU every couple seconds.

[opaque sedge]

Srsly?

What abt amazon or newegg?

[dusk knot]

Yes

[misty sparrow]

Is that the only bad thing?

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-gif-8292242768056353320

[nocturne flicker]

You mean besides the fact that they usually have bad pricing as a general baseline that only gets saved by price match?

[opaque sedge]

By yes do u mean just as bad?

Man microcenter why won’t u just stock up on the goddamn msrp cards

[mystic ruin]

Long time no see lol

How's life

[dense locust]

Don’t they?

You just gotta be there when they restock

[dusk knot]

Lol. Jk. Hey!

[dusk knot]

It's been eons. What happened?

[mystic ruin]

I just lurk and forgot I was in this server lol

[mystic ruin]

I see that GPU converted you to a AI bot

[dusk knot]

Yes. I am more machine than man now

[mystic ruin]

Speaking of

How's that card treating you

[dusk knot]

The 5080 is lit all thanks to you

[mystic ruin]

No thanks needed I'm happy it went to good home lol

[dense locust]

Are you here to replace the other joker?

[mystic ruin]

Lol

[velvet summit]

They're number 10

[velvet summit]

"what's the difference between agent 47 and James Bond? 40."

[dusk knot]

Does everything I want a GPU to do. Doesn't heat up my room, more FPS, can locally run AI models, and consumes less power than my old 3080ti.

[mystic ruin]

What's the average temps

Also what did you do to with 3080 ti

My 3090 is starting to die 😭

[icy ore]

May just need to be repasted

[dense locust]

Ah yes Mr “I want 5080 super”

I am happy to hear that it's been treating you well and hopefully it'll keep treating you well till you need a repasting lol

[dense locust]

Holographic display that's spinning yea

If I wanted to put a Newegg logo I can

And get the RGB to match

[dense locust]

[mystic ruin]

Too rich for my blood

Plus my case wouldn't display it

[dense locust]

Why not?

[mystic ruin]

You know fair enough 😂

[dusk knot]

We will see

It's going to be harder to open this card

[mystic ruin]

Challenge accepted

I got this bad boy recently

And 3d printed the case for it

[opaque sedge]

So doesn’t look like msrp 5070tis and 5080s are coming back anytime soon

Surely we’ll get the 60 series by the end of the year

My medical leave just got approved but they applied it currently instead of retroactively so now it is causing me issues at work

Thanks bro

I think Lian li of all companies made the new budget balling psu

With their RB550w

Good brand, very recently made, bronze rated, semi modular and has cable straps built in

[sinful blade]

Was not expecting that out of Lian li

[worn night]

Yeah it’s surprisingly nice

Hope they built it well so a buyer doesn’t say it blew up a month later

[sinful blade]

I wish my rm750e had cable straps

[worn night]

Sadly it says semi modular but there’s only one cable that’s actually modular lol

It’s got 3 SATA powers and one molex

Non modular is one 24pin, one 8pin cpu, and two daisy chained 8pin gpu

Just do not get this case bro it’s impossible to cable manage

Once these sell I might try doing a pink build

Getting some spray paint I could paint the motherboard vrm heatsinks, gpu, psu if needed

Would look sick

It is gas so probably not

But amazon returns are pretty lax so I would still give it a try

Depending on the arm, it can acutally be very stable to where the wobbe you see actually comes from your desk rather than the arm itself

The arm could just be transmitting the wobbles from the desk

is the 5080 that close to the 4090?

[opaque sedge]

i'm trying to release deez

[dusk knot]

When you OC it’s like 10 or 9 percent behind a stock 4090

[opaque sedge]

an astral or suprim must be pretty close then

[dusk knot]

On my 5080, I got it to around 10 percent

[opaque sedge]

i'm trying to get a prime non oc because it has a higher power limit than other msrp models

on the 5070ti i think

not sure abt the 5080

also the cooler isnt the bare minimum like windforce and pny, they're prolly not too bad either and are fine cuz pretty sure they gotta match the specs nvidia gives em

[weak cedar]

[ashen swan]

[craggy shoal]

What are you doing with 96GB?

(Genuine question because I'm genuinely curious and not trying to be an ass)

[tranquil pebble]

Discord crashed before I could finish typing a response. Anyway it was $240 for the kit and I kept running out on 32 GB RAM.

[craggy shoal]

lol but what do you do that needs 96GB?

Apparently you have 84.5GB being used lol. I rarely saturate 32GB (rare but sometimes I do)

[tranquil pebble]

84 GB is being cached, not used. Windows will cache as much stuff in RAM as it can.

but also some of the AI models I have been messing around with need that RAM

[craggy shoal]

Ahhh that makes sense

[pliant berry]

I really need more ram, I have been having so many crashes lately due to running out of ram

[craggy shoal]

I just want 64GB

Too bad for me because that's not happening any time soon

I've had Verizon and I'll keep using Verizon as long as it does everything I need it to do

Verizon tends to have the best coverage of middle of nowhere places ime

[dense locust]

Can’t we just pull a star link and put satellites everywhere for 100% coverage

[pliant berry]

i'd prob agree. I just use verizon for fiber internet and landline phone. t mobile for cell

[worthy meteor]

Starlink still needs more satellites to cover the globe lol

[dense locust]

Shhh let me live in my blissful ignorance

[tranquil pebble]

I have a Verizon owned service (Tracfone) and am on east coast but unaffected

[pliant berry]

I have noticed my verizon internet likes to drop out between ~1-4am randomly once every few months

[tranquil pebble]

minor issue all things considered

[pliant berry]

yeah it's pretty minor

hybrid graphics on desktop is interesting ngl

9800x3d iGPU might not be a beast but it lets my dGPU have every last GB of VRAM available for games

and it also means plugging your monitor into the motherboard is actually a good idea now (if it supports hybrid graphics)

rip

[tranquil pebble]

awareness is the first step to a solution so that's good

[nocturne flicker]

I'm using Visible which is owned by and on Verizon's network, am on the East Coast and am using Discord mobile on mobile data

[tranquil pebble]

weird. So it seems their subsidiaries aren't affected? wtf

Not complaining but still

[nocturne flicker]

Dunno. Seems mega weird

[tranquil pebble]

lol

[nocturne flicker]

Bigly deals

[sinful blade]

Do not

T-Mobile has worse service, and prices are higher
