dense loom
#

The value for a 1080ti outweighs it imo

tawny quest
#

it's not ray tracing alone

#

it's ray tracing, dlss, and new nvenc

hollow prawn
#

The value of a 1080ti is still more around the 600$ range.

dense loom
#

Where do you live

tawny quest
#

I am just pointing out that 600 for a 1080ti is not great

dense loom
#

I agree with that

hollow prawn
#

2080 is still outperformed by a 1080ti

#

I do not agree

tawny quest
#

not by much tho

dense loom
#

It’s enough

tawny quest
#

I would avoid buying old harware new

dense loom
#

2080 super is closer

tawny quest
#

it depends, 2080 super can outperform the 1080ti in some titles

zealous ginkgo
#

i think they trade

tawny quest
#

ye

hollow prawn
#

2080 super can beat 1080ti overall I believe

dense loom
#

They’re mostly neck and neck

#

1080ti can get more performance in some titles and vice versa

tawny quest
#

depends

#

at 4k yes very close

finite fjord
#

average perf wise, the 2070S is 1% worse then 1080Ti

dense loom
#

That doesnt sound right imo

finite fjord
tawny quest
#

lol

finite fjord
#

3%, but not far off from where I said

#

The 2080S will on average beat the 1080Ti given the average 8% perf boost overall from 2070S iirc

I dont read anything. I just look at the price tag and spend money.

Of course, that is my fault.

1660 Super PNY single-fan card

#

for $229

#

better models for that card come back in stock on amazon in a couple weeks

stiff rapids
#

1660ti from evga b stock is 219

lusty harness
#

exactly

#

not that getting only a year of warranty sits well with everyone

#

but exactly

stiff rapids
#

I'm not going to pay $80 dollars for an additional 2 year limited warranty.

lusty harness
#

Or you can just get a new 1660 super

#

get the extra 2 years

#

and give up a tiny amount of performance

#

also, where are you even seeing those go for $80 extra

#

a cursory amazon search shows them back in stock in two weeks for much less

stiff rapids
#

I'm not going to argue over a warranty. Lol

lusty harness
#

...

#

But not knowing what stuff costs is a-okay

Bruh, that gpu is my whole pc prize, lol

Dang I got the normal 1660 and it’s worth the exact same got it about a year ago oooof

I have that same card and it serves me well!

#

XFX rx570 4/8gb is the best bang for your buck graphics card you can get...

#

although price has gone up since i last seen it it was only $119.99....

hollow plover

yeah i have the 1660 super

#

it runs everything more then well enough which is all i need

sweet marsh

Any deals lemme know

lusty harness

cheap gifts anyone?

Why doesn’t anyone have a benchmark for GPU’s running Ark Survival? Is because it still isn’t optimized?

#

If I can get this for $100 is that a good deal? I have the 3gb version currently

📎 unknown.png
grim talon
#

An RX 570 would have a little more VRAM and perform similar at a similar price

#

Even better an RX 480 or 580

#

But it is hard to find good used GPU prices rn because if the situation

static granite
#

Running Intel, not amd

pallid saddle
#

doesnt matter

grim talon
#

Why does that matter

pallid saddle
#

gpu/cpu brands dont need to be the same

#

also the card ur looking at is nvidia, not intel

static granite
#

Sorry, not sure what I was thinking, I like the Nvidia brand

grim talon
#

If you have a justified reason for NVIDIA over AMD right now, go for it.

#

But 3gb VRAM is definitely not future proof

static granite
#

I mean I am running the 3gb 1060 right now and its doing okay

zealous ginkgo
#

id say 100 for the 6gb model is a solid deal

#

@static granite

static granite
#

Yea, just found out its 2 hours away so ill have to see if they are willing to drive haha

grim talon

Oh I didn’t see it was 6gb! I thought it was 3

I would of picked it up otherwise. I need an extra

vagrant forum
#

Should I buy a used prebuilt that has an i5-8600k and GTX 1070 that costs 650

grim talon
#

How much RAM?

#

What's the storage situation?

lusty harness
#

Also

#

The other specs are super important here

#

It's really easy to slap a prebuilt together with those parts but crap everything else

#

@vagrant forum

vagrant forum
#

Let me check

#

16gb of gskill which should be anywhere fr 2666-3200 mhz

lusty harness
#

well I suppose that RAM is fine

#

but

#

still

#

motherboard, PSU, case, model of the graphics card, cooler, etc.

grim talon
#

Oh yeah PSU is super important

vagrant forum
lusty harness
#

and storage

vagrant forum
#

It's 32 my bad

lusty harness
#

This looks like it was written by a 13-year-old

vagrant forum
#

Yep

#

Welcome to New York City

lusty harness
#

He's not wrong in saying that a PC with those specs is not bad at all

#

but this is incredibly painful to read

vagrant forum
#

I can agree with you

lusty harness
#

32GB RAM is completely dubious

vagrant forum
#

e

lusty harness
#

hardly anyone uses more than 16GB or sometimes even 8GB

#

but hey, free RAM

vagrant forum
#

It is what it iz

lusty harness
#

and that stuff basically never goes bad unless you overclock the hell out of it

grim talon
#

Yeah you could resell the other 16gb

vagrant forum
#

Lemme find this oc meme I had

lusty harness
#

the storage solutions are quite frankly bad

#

I would never re-use SSDs

#

especially ones that small

vagrant forum
#

Yeah

lusty harness
#

unless it was a particularly good SSD

#

like a Samsung drive

vagrant forum
#

Imma get an nvme m.2

#

True

lusty harness
#

something with legendary read/write endurance

vagrant forum
#

ocing memes are nice

lusty harness
#

honestly

#

if you buy the system

#

well

#

this dude said he OC'd to 5GHz?

#

that sounds like an awfully steep overclock on a mere Hyper 212 EVO

#

and you have no way to check if he was smart with the voltages

vagrant forum
#

Hey they changed the price of the Ryzen 5 2600x from 100 to 130 at microcenter

lusty harness
#

Inventory issues, perhaps.

vagrant forum
#

Yeah

#

I mean all and all it all about patience

lusty harness
#

Anyway, the listing you have presents itself as pretty good but

  • no way to check if the voltages/temperatures were kept under control at a whopping 5GHz, on a mere Hyper 212 EVO cooler
  • storage solution is trash so you'll have to buy your own drives and reuse the provided ones only as boot drives
  • PSU could be questionable; you should probably replace it
  • the GPU model is unknown and this makes a big difference between cool quiet cards and hot loud ones
  • case, but honestly that's the least concern here
#

that said

vagrant forum
#

I would go etsly change out ssd, cooler and psu

lusty harness
#

the question is whether or not replacing those parts would warranty just buying a new system

vagrant forum
#

I don't want to have my house go down in flames after it's all fun in games

lusty harness
#

would you like me to whip up a quick list?

#

show you about how much a new system of equivalent specs would cost?

vagrant forum
#

I already have one

lusty harness
#

cool

vagrant forum
#

It's on my PC tho

lusty harness
#

what's the total?

vagrant forum
#

I am on my phone

#

Total is 775

lusty harness
#

hmm

#

so if you buy this system

#

and then you replace SSD + PSU + cooler

#

that easily puts you over

#

so here's what I'll say

vagrant forum
#

Honestly Ryzen 5 2600x and 1660 super is 750

lusty harness
#

it's a great system if all the parts check out

vagrant forum
#

Yeah

lusty harness
#

if they don't, well, you're fat outta luck

vagrant forum
#

Originally it was 775

#

The he posted it for 650 which is a little suspecious

lusty harness
#

You guys have micro center in NYC?

vagrant forum
#

Yeah

lusty harness
#

Must be nice

vagrant forum
#

We got three or four

lusty harness
#

I moved away from the only MC in my entire state

#

5 years ago

#

dad's work

vagrant forum
#

oof

lusty harness
#

anyway

vagrant forum
#

Anyways

lusty harness
#

If you can confirm the exact parts in the build

#

and ensure that the quality of the parts is still up to the job

#

then it's a good deal

vagrant forum
#

Ye

lusty harness
#

that said, good luck doing that

#

and

#

if I'm paying this much

#

I think I would gladly pay $100 extra for equivalent specs and completely new parts

vagrant forum
#

thanks

#

Hyper I had a quick question

lusty harness
#

Go ahead

vagrant forum
#

Why didn't you get a used 1060 gb that goes anywhere from 100-150

#

6 gb

#

Or a 1650 super

lusty harness
#

this one was going for $40

grim talon
#

670s can be cheaper?

lusty harness
#

couldn't pass it down

grim talon
#

yeah makes sense

lusty harness
#

it's loud but

#

all used deals have a price

grim talon
#

I got a GTX 960 4gb for a flip for under $40 though...

hollow prawn
#

aaaaaa

lusty harness
#

and I was on Vega 8

#

until then

hollow prawn
#

why all the emojis

vagrant forum
#

Honestly 1080 tis cost around the same price of a new 2080

lusty harness
#

$40 670 is easily better perf/$ than typical used 570 listings

#

@hollow prawn heck you

hollow prawn
#

ok

lusty harness
grim talon
#

Still doesn't beat my 960 4gb for $38 😂

#

It did ship from China though...

lusty harness
#

My boot drive is from China

#

Never again.

grim talon
#

"all used deals have a price"

#

Those were shipping

lusty harness
#

If you get an amazing China deal

#

good for you

hollow prawn
#

Huh

lusty harness
#

just don't go bragging about it too much or some poor soul gonna get one of them rebranded 1050 Tis

honestly budget cards are the best

I can't see myself paying for a card that costs more than a gaming console on launch

austere thunder

yeah me too 👀

terse agate
#

like $400 just doesn't make sense lol

#

I need to buy the rest of my computer cuz im broke

#

idk i feel like even if my 1050ti isn't the best, it eased me into pc gaming

#

didn't even need a new power supply

austere thunder
#

🤔

#

the 730 only draws something like 30 watts I think

terse agate
#

I hope they make new cards like the 1050ti

austere thunder
#

3050 Super 😔

terse agate
#

lol

#

someday

final scarab

I really hope they drop a 3060

@bleak pike how big are your hands and is it comfortable for you?

Bc I have huge hands

bleak pike

from the bottom of my palm to the tip of my middle finger, my hand measures 7". the Harpoon Wireless is sort of an awkward mouse to claw, but great for palm users

but the palm thing might be me being too used to my M65

How is the M65? I was seriously considering that

for being a claw user, I'm very comfortable palming my M65

My hands are more like 9, do u think Ill fit it well ?

well, I could get used to palming
and idk about 9" lol. you might have to get used to clawing with it

but that's a massive hand size lol

so I'm not too sure

@rigid eagle M65 has a very high failure rate

@static granite it's a great deal. I'm surprised it's that low tbh. Makes me a little suspicious but as long as you can verify that it is a working unit, your golden. The CPU alone retails for around 400 and the mobo goes for around 350... not sure why anyone would sell for that cheap so be wary of a scam.

@wide mason I got it and seems to work, I had them send a pic of the control panel with the CPU in it before I bought it too, just need to pick up a cooler, CPU and ram

does anyone know if a refurbished psu on Newegg, is likely to come with all the cables, warranty etc as a non-refurbished? I am looking at a RM750x. Any thoughts?

hollow prawn
#

Usually Newegg doesn't so the refurbishing, whatever seller or manufacturer that's selling through Newegg does it.

#

I'm not too sure, but maybe someone else knows.

spark canyon
#

i know that, just wanted know the info on "in box part..."

finite fjord
#

how much is that RM750x?

hollow prawn
#

Link might also help.

finite fjord
#

Oh yeah, need lvl 3 to send links

hollow prawn
#

DM it to Hei.

#

Item#: N82E16817139253

finite fjord
#

or that

#

EVGA G3, just dont try and put 810w+ on it as it wont shut off like other PSUs should and will overheat

hollow prawn
#

Huh, a g3. There really aren't many good options left eh

finite fjord
#

yeah, tho G3 is bit cheaper then usual

#

remember it being $120 or so usually

spark canyon
#

highly doubt they would ship intl tho

finite fjord
#

unless weird location it should be able to be shipped

spark canyon
#

and the shipping may make that less desirable...

hollow prawn
#

Just checked, G3 does have OTP sooo

finite fjord
#

not set up correctly tho

hollow prawn
#

Thought it was the OCP that was setup incorrectly

finite fjord
#

It is legit possible to push the overload really high and melt caps

#

it is, OCP/OTP I guess

hollow prawn
#

Fair enough

spark canyon
#

ocp issue is on the rm750, if i remember

finite fjord
#

no

#

RM(x) is quite fine

#

RM non x has worse caps then RMx tho

hollow prawn
#

Don't remember any issues on RM series

spark canyon
#

how about CX ?

hollow prawn
worn rose
#

cx non m is good

hollow prawn
#

CX should be just fine

finite fjord
#

You usually dont have to worry about tbh. See yourself running an OCed 3990x+2080Ti or 3950x+2080S SLI?

spark canyon
#

nah

finite fjord
#

cuz that's your 800w+ load right there

spark canyon
#

that's too much for me

hollow prawn
#

I've had my G3 750w for most of a year now, no problems.

finite fjord
#

So you can still go G3 route if you want because it's more or less fine. Just lacks a bit of "silly proofing"

#

But anyways, CX is also fine, CXM has coil whine issues so I would avoid that

spark canyon
#

so I could go with a cx750 on my 2060s, 3700x...

worn rose
#

yeah my g3 hasn’t blown up yet so it’s nice

finite fjord
#

I wouldnt go 750

#

550w is fine

#

good 550w can run stock 3950x+2080Ti non SLI

#

Unless that cx750 has an amazing deal, it's a waste of money

spark canyon
#

basically ditch the bronze and go gold 550W

finite fjord
#

not really about the bronze/gold tho

spark canyon
#

yea it sort of is the better deal from where I am

#

does the efficiency not matter?

finite fjord
#

a good bronze PSU can easily beat a bad gold

spark canyon
#

thought the internal components in a gold are usually rated higher, no?

finite fjord
#

say, the gold has bad voltage regulation/ripple, transient response, protections, caps, noise, fan quaity, etc

#

not to mention, rare but possible, that a PSU will just not even reach it's 80+ gold rating

spark canyon
#

yes ofcourse, there is always that issue, it is a gamble

#

i was going by jhonny guru' analysis

finite fjord
#

in general, never judge a PSU by brand, rating, or wattage. Def go by real reviews, such as one you gave like Jonny guru

spark canyon
#

brand, is one thing atleast it was in the past

#

it mattered

#

now not so much

finite fjord
#

Back then probs a bit more due to less real testing going on. But it was still the same

#

good companies making bad PSUs

spark canyon
#

you could more or less rely on a japanese equipment on most areas

#

electronic appliances, tv, dryers, heavy machinery etc

finite fjord
#

You can "rely" on it, but not actually and truly rely on it

spark canyon
#

haha maybe

finite fjord
#

Good caps gets you good operating temps, lifespan, and can be one of the things to help voltage ripple and regulation

#

but there are still so many other things affecting voltage regulation/ripple, then you got transient response, protections, noise (coil whine or fan), fan quality, failure rate, multi rail, etc

#

Also, you can still have some Jap caps in some areas but not all areas

spark canyon
#

fan noise dont bother me as much as it does most tech enthusiasts...

#

but then again I am ancient

finite fjord
#

say, use some Jap caps on the weaker stuff that dont mean as much

spark canyon
#

afterall, an equipment is only as good as it's weakest link

#

now who said that?

(actually 512gb m2 ssd + 2tb seagate barracuda is a great way to get a lot of storage and speed at a lower cost)

#

hold on there

lone depot
#

either one about 100

outer cypress
#

this uses the SATA interface

#

not PCIE

#

PCIE is much faster

lone depot
#

yeah didnt notice deff dont get that one

outer cypress
#

SATA bottlenecks the SSD at just 500mb/s, whereas PCIE goes up to like 5000 or something like that ive seen with the newer drives

lone depot
#

well they have the bgest deals on newegg id say deff go with one on there

#

yeah i know

outer cypress
#

id take that m2 over a regular sata drive any day because its a lot more convenient

#

no cables

lone depot
#

Team GX2 is one of those dramless ones. Can't check rn but usually Team L5 lite 3d, and Team Vulcan have dram and are cheap

Yeah. Tho problem is with those usually, price is too close to NVMe. Seems like 120gb SSDs are the only ones where SATA isnt very close to NVMe in terms of pricing
