you sure?

velvet steeple
#

It's not a RTX card

tawny shoal
#

dont matter

velvet steeple
#

It does

flat swift
#

Yeah, don't do RT on a 1660 LMAO

tawny shoal
#

you could on mc prolly tho idk

#

mc not that demanding

flat swift
#

RT in Minecraft is no less than any other game

tawny shoal
#

you thinking like 2060 at minimum or sumthin?

flat swift
#

Ye

#

Even that

#

RT is kinda painful

#

I had one

velvet steeple
#

1660 Super does not have tensor cores

tawny shoal
#

vintage cant 1660s technically run rtx?

flat swift
#

Technically yes

#

But

#

It's absolutely painful

velvet steeple
#

All cards can run ray tracing, but RTX is different

flat swift
#

RTX has dedicated cores for it

velvet steeple
#

If it's not a RTX card don't even think about doing any RTX ray tracing on it

flat swift
#

Separate from the GPU cores

Hey, I am thinking about buying an XS Max, it's bought 2,5 years ago and got 92% maximum capacity under the battery health. Would you say it's worth it to be used for the next few years? Paying about 400$.

livid wadi
soft isle
#

I know I can get a XS Max for about 400$ here in Norway used. But the 11's are about 600$ and are probably going to decrease in value for the next year or so.

#

Looking for an XS Max which will last for a while, maybe 1-2 years. I don't care too much about battery but it shouldn't have battery problems. So idk if a 2.5 year old device would work for as long.

livid wadi
soft isle
#

Yeah, so a 2.5 year old should work fine for a while?

livid wadi
#

It should last, but personally Id spend the extra bit for the 11 pro/pro max if youre using it for 2+ years

soft isle
#

Okay thanks ❤️

Is this what it's come to? The SALE is advertising that it dropped to MSRP?!

yikesss

#

That's some good advertising.

#

If they can sell the GPUs at MSRP it might actually be worth to buy a desktop and sell all the other components but keep the GPU.

hybrid garnet
#

But isn't the point of a sale to discount a product? It just sucks that the best deal right now would be to buy a system they admit they marked up just to mark down.

tawny shoal
#

Well it's technically a sale in current economy

#

A bunch of stores mark up prices so they can mark them down and make it look like a huge deal

#

It then tricks your brain into more likely buying them

#

Same with the 99 cents thing at like all stores

cedar yew
#

I have this mobo

In that pc

What ram speeds does ig support

Because in the bios it's up to 4266 but on the website it's 2400

#

You'd be surprised with how many people are willing to fall to scalper prices and inflated used prices to have something better than what they have.

#

When most don't need it. They just want something better.

glass mason
#

some people just have money and dont care

acoustic lagoon
#

Yes, those are people willing to do it.

#

You're an idiot if you choose to buy a scalped or overly priced used card. But that's none of my business.

like november they were 300$ on ebay

#

for a 2070

#

now everything is 1000+

noble silo
#

this is wild

#

its like gamestop stocks lol

#

im sure it'll go down

lone depot
#

is a 90$ rx 470 worth buying to mine on it? makes like 60$/month

#

just a heatsink no fan on it with working hdmi

noble silo
#

thats pretty good.. just dont know anything about mining tho

lone depot
#

mining basically is taking any gpu that has a good hashrate, downclocking the core by as much as possible and cranking the memory as much as possible

#

lower power usage, more money

noble silo
#

thanks for the tips! ill watch some Youtube videos and see how my 3080 can handle

lone depot
#

3080's are really good for mining

#

a 3090 gets really high hash buts its power usage just makes it not viable

sharp ocean
lone depot
#

why

sharp ocean
#

470 does not mine that good

#

I don’t think

lone depot
#

yes it does

sharp ocean
#

Lemme check

lone depot
#

they do around 23 mh/s

#

470 4gb the amount of memory doesnt matter just that its above 2gb so it can mine

sharp ocean
#

Ha

lone depot
#

im talking ethereum mining fyi bitcoin is so bad with its super high difficulty

sharp ocean
#

I know

#

Even with Phoenix the hash rate isn’t going to be good

#

470 is an older card

lone depot
#

overclock memory

#

that boosts hashrates

sharp ocean
#

Bad silicon? What then?

lone depot
#

who said push it to its limit?

#

gets about 24 mh

#

im using it for gaming alongside so its less profitable hence core overclock too

sharp ocean
#

Just find some 5700 XTs

#

Better rate

#

Best price to performance with mining rn iirc

#

Maybe that’s the 3080 but that thing is impossible to get

lone depot
#

3060ti's are super profitable too

#

low tdp, ~200$/month

#

but 3080's do around 300/month

#

Is this the deals channel or the mining discussion?

hybrid garnet
#

Both
Conversation started with questions about if certain GPUs are worth buying for mining based on profitability

lone depot
#

that would be the 3060ti

#

400$ for FE while 5700XT is 440$ minimum due to tariff

3060ti

400$

"price'll go down guys dont worry nvidia will release new stock soon"

"50$ over msrp? jeez aib companies calm it down"

#

thats the same price i got a zotac 3070 for

3070 was always bad pricing

Does anyone even buy the 1050ti anymore?

#

Did anyone even buy the 1050 ti at all? 🤔

willow notch
#

I got my evga 3070 for 900 cadwuuut

#

i feel like the 3070 should be worth 450 from a price to performance standpoint

That's literally the price point for 3060 ti here

We've got 2 more special cyberpower PCs

R5 3700, rtx 2060, 16g 3200mhz cas15 ballistics. I bought one for my wife, and I helped my friend in Canada get one too when her pc died last month.

Haven't found any better PCs for less since black Friday.

tawny shoal

how much was that?

true briar
#

ehhh not super great

What motherboard, A320? B450?

Asus prime

tawny shoal
#

i think theres some 10400f and 3060ti prebuilts that sometimes go on sale

true briar
#

For under a thousand, you go find them with 1660s

tawny shoal
#

ive seen 10400f and 3060ti for a thousand before

#

iirc

true briar
#

You don't recall correctly

#

I haven't seen a 3060 ti in a combo for less than 1200

tawny shoal
#

i mean you can get 10700f and 3070 for less than 1200

#

at least you could at one time

true briar
#

Where

#

Rifht

tawny shoal
#

expired

true briar
#

At one time

tawny shoal
#

exactly

#

thats how deals work

true briar
#

In the current gaming pc climate, this is a great deal, and you'd be hard pressed to find anything that beats it currently

tawny shoal
#

yeah

true briar
#

Sure, in 6 months, you might find a good deal again

tawny shoal
#

itll prolly be a thing to check it everyday until one comes up

#

i checked like every hour to grab my webcam

#

c920s

#

oos everywhere for a long time cause of covid

#

they have them now but 6 months ago they were few and far

true briar

I got my 9700k for about 220 after tax a year ago

Ye but not good for Newegg anymore

tawny shoal

rly?

flat swift
#

Shuffle only here. BB drops every couple weeks

tawny shoal
#

oof

icy finch
#

Bestbuy dropped last week so maybe next week

fading ore
#

when does best buy drop?

#

was it fridays?

#

or is it just random

hollow prawn
#

tuesdays

fading ore
#

hm, is that just the US tho

hollow prawn
#

I believe so

dry nest
#

yeah best buy goes out of stock in under 10 seconds for stuff like the zen 3 AMD stuff

#

gotta click fast

hollow prawn
#

not for Nvidia cards

fading ore
#

i just want my 3070 ;-;

#

pog, really?

hollow prawn
#

lasted 10 minutes for 3080 15 minutes for 3070 last tuesday

#

I watched it

fading ore
#

lets goooo

dry nest
#

bro I had a 5 second response time to a 5900x drop and didn't get it rip

hollow prawn
#

AMD supply chains wack prob

dry nest
#

just kinda sat with their "please wait" thing

#

yeah

fading ore
#

but you say the drop streams no longer work?

dry nest
#

I just have my own bot to monitor everything lol

hollow prawn
#

Drop streams should still work, just not as useful now

#

since Newegg is all about shuffle

fading ore
#

but best buy

dry nest
#

It's almost been two weeks since newegg dropped 5900x so I'm hoping for some more this week

fading ore
#

since i basically have to get the FE now

#

seeing as how the next cheapest model is still $100 more

lone depot
hollow prawn
#

5950x kinda very high end though

#

@lone depot I haven't heard of a reasonable or even seen a rx6800(xt) drop

lone depot
#

oh yeah 6000 series supply is so bad

#

only been seeing it on amazon/newegg

hollow prawn
#

never seen a drop in my life lol

#

Zen 3 is better, hear about em and saw a 5600x amazon drop once

hybrid garnet
#

I scored a 5800X from the shuffle 😛

hollow prawn
#

Nice

lone depot
#

i could of ordered a dozen 6000 series cards and maybe a hundred 30 series

spare viper
#

What is this person talking about

hybrid garnet
#

I think it was more a comparison of stock levels
There's a lot less 6000s available than 30s

hollow cliff
#

How many people enter the shuffle giveaway per item would you say?

sharp ocean
#

all of them

#

but Dallas has won 8 times so

hybrid garnet
#

It depends on what items. Some are in higher demand like the graphics cards.

hollow cliff
#

For the latest generation of graphics cards how many are entering for amd cards and how many are entering for nvidia cards.

flat swift
#

Well, AMD stock supply is much less than nVidia

#

Todays shuffle is the first one I've seen AMD cards in in a while now

hollow cliff
#

Yes but I am wondering what my chances of winning the shuffle are.

boreal ore
#

The same as everyone else's.

flat swift
#

That is completely unknown

#

There are no stats

hollow cliff
#

But what is everyone else's chances?

boreal ore
#

Not great.

hybrid garnet
#

Yeah they haven't published any numbers, no way to tell

#

I just got lucky and my first entry I won lol

#

I never win anything, I guess that's years and years of luck built up I just used

hollow cliff
#

Well okay. I ordered a ryzen 5 but I made the fatal assumption that amd has integrated graphics in their cpu. I was expecting to be able to run my pc until I found an available 3070. 🤣 Terrible mistake. My computer won't turn on until I get a graphics card. I need to win one of these and fast.

sharp ocean
flat swift
#

heh, right?

#

It wasn't a paper launch tho

#

but I've seen far fewer 6000 series than I have 3000

hollow cliff
#

I came here in hopes of fast updates on like when the shuffles are or something, but just checking the announcements, that place is barren.

flat swift
#

Well

#

It's monday-thursday

#

10 AM PST

hollow cliff
#

Always?

#

Or special events?

hybrid garnet
#

Except holidays

flat swift
#

Yes, unless it's a holiday

#

NO shuffle last Monday, for example

#

Presidents Day

hollow cliff
#

10 am to when?

hybrid garnet
#

Not every item is going to be available every day, there's days where there's no GPUs at all

#

You have until 1 PM to enter

hollow cliff
#

pst?

flat swift
#

10 AM is sign up, you'll be notified in the afternoon if you win

#

yes

hollow cliff
#

ok thanks for the info

flat swift
#

YW

hybrid garnet
#

Winners are notified around 3:30 pst and the item is auto added to your cart

hollow cliff
#

I would be incredibly happy to get a graphics card within the next 2 weeks even.

#

Not even shipped, just ordered.

tawny shoal
#

There's streams that ping all the retailers and check stock

#

All retailers except wegg

hollow cliff
#

A bit sad that the one year when graphics cards get to an insanely good price to performance rate is the one year that all of a sudden everyone wants it and there is no stock. 😢

sharp ocean
#

thats why they are out of stock

#

partly

tawny shoal
#

Yeah covid isn't helping with that either

sharp ocean
#

one of 3 problems

hollow cliff
#

Yeah I know it's why but it doesn't ease the sadness.

tawny shoal
#

Covid kinda started the pc craze of 2020

#

and then Ampere

and then RDNA2

I bought a new pc yesterday. 👀 From newegg. 👀 The only thing it's missing is a graphics card. 👀

flat swift
#

SNAP

hollow cliff
#

Yeah. I'd be curious y'all's opinion of it.

#

I ended up going with a ryzen 5 3600. 4k monitor 60Hz. 1 tb storage, 16 gb memory(one stick). noctua fan. Be Quiet! case.

#

msi keyboard. Kalhi blue

tawny shoal
#

How much was it?

hollow cliff
#

😶

#

Much money.

tawny shoal
#

How much lol

#

Cause then we know if it was a good deal

hollow cliff
#

Including everything except for the graphics card.(this includes pc itself, monitor, keyboard, mouse. It was < $1400

tawny shoal
#

Damn thats alot

hollow cliff
#

Wait sorry wrong sign

#

Sorry let me edit that.

tawny shoal
#

#

It's bad

#

Better.

#

its a 3600

no iGPU

tawny shoal
#

Single channel

hybrid garnet
#

For 1400 you could build a computer with a better CPU including a GPU

hollow cliff
#

I went for a pc that I liked. Keep in mind this is including a 4k monitor.

tawny shoal
#

We know

flat swift
#

Def need a 2nd stick of ram

hybrid garnet
#

Oh true the monitor included

flat swift
#

losing 30-40% performance with just one stick

tawny shoal
#

Still a bad deal

#

Mhmm

dry nest
#

Mmm yeah only having one stick is

tawny shoal
#

My whole setup was sub 1300

#

Monitor included

hollow cliff
#

Oh wow. I had no idea one stick was so major.

tawny shoal
#

Peripherals included

#

Yeah you need dual channel

#

To take advantage of it

dry nest
#

100%

#

Dual channel is a must have

sharp ocean
#

Super Hot fan

#

SUPER. HOT.

hollow cliff
#

Wow. I could always buy another 16 gb stick.

dry nest
#

I’ve had this pfp for 3 years now

sharp ocean
tawny shoal
#

What ram is it?

dry nest
#

This username is ancient too lol

tawny shoal
#

You would want to buy the same one

#

Preferably

hollow cliff
#

You mean the amount? 16 gigs.

dry nest
#

Mhm

tawny shoal
#

No

#

Speed an latency and brand

hollow cliff
#

Yeah if I expanded I would buy the exact same one.

flat swift
#

Do buy another stick

tawny shoal
#

What speed?

dry nest
#

So glad I upgraded to 32 3200 since I was running 11/16 GB on average (no games open)

hollow cliff
#

Mmmm let me check.

tawny shoal
#

I swear it's gonna be like 2666

#

Or something bad

hollow cliff
tawny shoal
#

It's okay

#

Not the best

#

Ryzen would love faster ram

hollow cliff
#

I didn't go for uber mega thread ripper 3090.

tawny shoal
#

Still

dry nest
#

me who’s going to feed my 5900x 3200 MHz

tawny shoal
#

A 3600 likes fast stuff

#

Around 3600mhz is the sweet spot for money on a r5 3600 rn imo

sharp ocean
flat swift
#

3600 at 3200 mhz is fine

dry nest
#

Again shoulda gone 3600 but there was a good deal on 3200 sooooo

flat swift
#

3700 and up is where it really shows

hollow cliff
#

Huh. So Ryzen needs 3600mhz?

flat swift
#

Ideally, yes

#

Ryzen likes fast ram, esopecially the new 5000 series

sharp ocean
#

also Threadripper doesnt technically support higher speeds than 3200mhz

#

im sure you can get stable clocks up there but the IMC isnt rated for it

hollow cliff
#

I don't see mhz listed in the specs. What is the mhz of the ram I listed?

#

I'm going for nvidia graphics card btw, not amd.

sharp ocean
#

AMD CPU

#

RAM doesnt matter for that

hollow cliff
#

Oh just saw the mhz. 3200.

flat swift
#

For the 3600 don't sweat it

#

Just get a 2nd stick

hollow cliff
#

k makes sense.

sharp ocean
#

you can try and OC it too if you want

hollow cliff
#

Not really going for overclocking. Don't really trust myself to know how far to push my components.

sharp ocean
#

just keep going until you cant anymore

#

simple

hollow cliff
#

Sounds like mega strain on the parts though. I want this to last a while.

#

Wish I could test out pc iterations before I bought. Actual benchmarks. That would be nice.

flat swift
#

Next time, feel free to ask here in build chat

#

Lots of whizzes to maximize your dollar

#

Yeah you guys have been super helpful. I learned a lot about ram and ryzen today.

hi all

#

just woundering does any one know were i can find either a 5700 or a 6800 i would prefer asus or sapphire but at this point any thing but asrock lol i cant find them any were ...every thing is out of stock

final scarab
#

Only way to find stock is to build a time machine rn. You might have a slim amount of luck buying used, but most stuff is overpriced rn. For a 6800, they go in newegg shuffle quite frequently

hybrid garnet
#

An example of overpriced used stuff right now: I could sell my 2070 for more than a new 3070 is retail, even the AIB models

GN just did a review on a couple PS5 "coolers", a direct quote from the review is "this is probably the worst product I've ever reviewed", and "it actually makes temps higher"

oblique moat

ps5

i think the best part

was the exhaust fan

#

that blew air INTO the exhaust

low silo
#

I wonder if you can flip those fans after taking it apart

oblique moat
#

maybe but itd still b worse since all that plastic

hybrid garnet
#

Yeah there's two types of impedance from that "cooler", passive and active
Passive resistance from physically blocking the exhaust, active resistance from blowing air the wrong way

#

Better option will come out soon, probably an aftermarket side panel that allows more airflow for the blower fan

oblique moat
#

like how the front of that one fractal case looks

#

but its side panels

hybrid garnet

Fractal should do an aftermarket panel design like that

I've been comparing laptops mostly on the mobile GPU basis and come to the conclusion that the performance for price seems to be best (for my needs, which is solely gaming only) that the Asus TUF A15 with the RTX 2060 seems to be the best gpu for a laptop for the price, I've watched some reviews of it on youtube and it seems to be solid give or take the bit of cooling issues, but that I'm willing to overlook cause most games I play shouldnt have too much power demand that will cause a ton of heat lol.
Bottom line, what do you all think of the ASUS TUF A15 with the 2060? good deal or is there something better for around 1200?
