yo is $260 for a 1660 6gb 128-bit a good deal?
or should i just try and wait for 3060ti? currently have a 770 gtx 4gb evga classified
Not great, but keep in mind I sold my 1060 3 gb for almost that much so who knows
geez ok
You take what you can get if you need the upgrade now, but you should wait and save your money if possible
okay cool thanks
the gpu situation is only going to get worse I think. so get what you can I guess
super pog deal
Laptops bad
It's honestly good
g5 isnt that bad of a laptop
for that price your only option is like a nitro and i would most def take the g5 over the nitro
special
Standing desk?
Yep
You have to buy another one of their products though to get the %50 off
hi im trying to find a pc on newegg my budget is $800 and im trying to find one with like an i5 and a 1660 super so can you recommend one?
Check this out on @Newegg: CORSAIR A500 High Performance Dual Fan CPU Cooler, CT-9010003-WW https://www.newegg.com/corsair-a500-ct-9010003-ww/p/N82E16835181193?Item=N82E16835181193&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-35-181-193-_-03012021
For that price its pretty good tbh
That’s what the msrp should be lol
It was like $25 a while back
It's kind of a bad cooler period

quick question
i found a 2060 on ebay for 45 bucks and everything checks out plus its backed by ebay money back gurantee is it worth it?
is says nothing about the cooler id post the image
I found it
yes
They canceled the listing lol
lmaoo
probably meant to put it at 450 and put it at 45
bruh i just want these prices to go back to normal
we all do
eh lol she doesnt have another graphics card
were broke so that was a steal for us and seeing as the price just keeps raising id say it was a steal
her previous graphics card was a 750 ti
I remember when 1070s were like $170 for awhile
quite the time to be alive
You could get a 2080 for like $200 less than a year ago
^
my friend got a strix 2080 for that much
still works perfectly fine
heavy as hell tho
I got a 2080ti for 400
Yep that's a bit of a monster, but totally able to do 4k
mhmm
we did Control in 4k with RTX on medium and it still hit 60 fps 90% of the time
the 2080 that is
fortnite was a different story
cries in 19 FPS
Valheim in Vulkan is 90% of my GPU and only 10-15% of my cpu lol
yep
why tho
buuuuut Fortnite
so?

Save the World, at the very least, is pretty good
I should use Gt 1030 to play it at 144p low settings with Ray tracing
GT 1030 not enabled for RTX, I dont think
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it does imo
I think yeah it makes an improvement on lighting and stuff but it isnt that crazy of a difference
mirrors and glass look nice
and the river that runs through the map
def better games for RTX tho, like MC and Control
looks like a scammer
Floppa inexperienced OfferUp browser
No it says listed 2 months ago lol, probably sold almost instantly and the person didn’t take it down
lol
I went as far as using a backup credit card to "pay" for a GPU, and then I called PayPal and told them to block the payment. Dude wasn't happy with me, but i didn't care
hahah
I have no remorse for scalpers
Another time I made a post on offerup exposing someone for scamming, and he saw it and told me to die

lol
We only shop on Craigslist classifieds
hello? i am getting out of mining and have gpu's to sell - 1070's. Any advice on best practices?
Ebay
Look at "completed" listings on ebay to find a rough price it'll sell at
sold is usually better than completed but completed works too
and the gpu market is funky right now so make sure its on ended recently for the most accurate data
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core 3.7 GHz IN STOCK $299.99 IN STOCK https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-5600x/p/N82E16819113666
nobody wants to buy 5600Xes from newegg
stinky
Best buy cc > newegg
u dont got points
"Sold" includes items that were bought but not paid for, that's why I prefer "completed" since it only counts paid/shippped
huh it does?
I really think they should add a newegg shuffle channel so discord bois can know when it dropping
Nothing dropped today, last drop was the first so thats not true

They're actually putting ryzen cpus into the regular stock now, so it's just gpus that are in the shuffle now anyway
its renewed, so 
but 600 for a 1440p@240hz IPS is pretty crazy
but of course this is on sale lol
Yep
nice
damn
woah
dont those usually go for around 300
oh nvm
230
Thats good
because 10600k fairly good processor for 220 its a good processor
10400f sometimes go for 175
10400f is 140 rn
or 9600k sometimes
usual
yea but im sure it was sold at 180 once
smh
Maybe Im thinking of another cpu
2700 and 2700x was pretty good price after 3rd gen ryzen launch
like around 160 at the start
It was 200 a few months ago now it's 250
same with the 1600af bruh, it used to be like 90 bucks and now it's like at 170 smh
It was 150 a few weeks ago now its 190
smh
where's the shuffle link?
thanks
Please tell me it's real today^ lol
Event starts in an hour so yes
its not letting me click enter, any idea why?
Have you chosen the products you want?
yes
Oh I forgot this is west coast time
There's a timer on the shuffle page 😉
19 minutes 30 seconds
also
someone please explain to me why my 4700u's iGPU sometimes performs better than a 1650Ti
because AMD cooling solutions are better
will gpu prices ever calm down?
if silicon and worker shortages stop and mining gets too hard for normal people
cool
we will have enough vaccines for everyone in the US by late march or something like that
i feel like if the gpu prices calm down, they will only be consistent until the new cards, which will get yoinked by scalpers
If 600M doses are administered then the US might be able to beat the pandemic easier
assuming every person gets double dosed ofc
Eh, main problem won't be producing enough, main problem will be administering the vaccine @sharp ocean
true
but thats been going mostly well so far
might take a second but it will happen at a steady enough rate
I predict the Coronavirus will be mostly gone by year's end
Hi, I'm new. What's Newegg?
Hello,
https://www.newegg.com/
a discord for an online store?
what happened with vetroo v5
is it still a good recco competing against se 224 xt ?
afaik vetroo v5 has a 3 pin connector 
how does the 3 pin connector impact noise thoo
thats what im wondering
since theres no pwm right ?
interesting
Nope
Did anyone win the product shuffle?
draws are in 5 minutes supposedly
did anyone not get a "not selected" email for the shuffle? or like no email at all
I didn’t get one at all
me either
Give it time
i didnt get one last time either
well they say it may take an hour to recieve
they started around 630 my time
1830*
Big sad, not selected.... That 3060 was a helluva deal, gg to anyone who got that
I got an email, not selected
Any idea if there will be more and how we find out about them?
10am on weekday
Are you saying it happens every weekday at 10am? What time zone?
10 am Pacific Time
Thanks!
Not every weekday, but they're on weekdays
If they have gpus to sell on shuffle it'll be Monday - Thursday
Well tried to open shuffle and it says expired oof
Normally it just says shuffle completed
Hopefully they just ain't having one
Huh. Maybe they're not doing shuffle any more. I know they moved cpus to regular stock already.
Would be a shame, GPU's just gonna be gone then
They pretty much are gone anyway, no one can make more when there's no silicon.
GPU manufacturers source their own silicon, second or third level manufacturers are the ones really having to import or find pre made chips
silicon is not silicone
silicon is a naturally occurring material and the 14th element of the periodic table, known for it's use in computers
sand
silicone is made from silicon and other materials and is frequently found in rubbery materials as a cheap stand-in, or something more comfortable (like earbuds)
Sucks GPUs are so hard to get. I did manage to get a 2070 super from EVGA b stock Tuesday night.
how much?
isnt non ti around 2060s tho?
Yes
i thought ti was like 2080 ish
3060 non-ti is 20-30% less than TI
yeah
mhm
thats why i hope whoever bought a 2070s up there didnt pay more than a 3060ti fe is
ig current market isnt great
but still
2080 super
2070 super is near identical to 2080
not that big of a diff
yeah still a difference just not worth it imo
3060ti is better than 2070s but slightly less than 2080s
I just want 3070 man, its at such a good sweet spot
Yes
Supposedly 3070s are easier to find. I bought one in October so I can’t comment on current state
yeah thats what im seeing
I have a 3070
Pretty POG
3060ti is good workstation card tbh
and yikes. stock bad for ages
Im glad i have what i have but seeing what's out there i desire more
How much organs did you sell
i sold my house SMH
it was 646
Newegg COmbo
+Sales tax

OLOy ram usually isn't great ram
I mean ram is ram
false
It XMP's just fine
You’re paying for overclocking or compatibility
not all RAM is made equally
Just don't overclock it
Oloy even has some B-Die sets I think
Just need to be really careful with the speed and timings you buy, that's all
Hmm
^^^ they sure do
kinda rare but they def exist
Maybe I'll stick to G.skill aegis when I buy ram next lol
aegis lmao
If you're not looking to overclock, just get XMP specs that are good speed and timings
everyone wants to OC at some point, Vintage
why, I just bought an AIO just for overclocking
For now I have to do jdec only, with my H81 chipset system integrator quality board
DDR3 1600
What
Hello
hi
Looking at two prebuild desktops with the same price and wondering which to choose as the cpu is different and the gpu are both RTX 3070, but described differently. I'm comparing the ALI484 with ALI455
Same type of GPU, same amount of memory. CPU in ALI455 is better, board is probably better.
Well, I'd just take ALI455, everything points towards ALI455 being better atm
But I'm new to gaming builds so not sure why the price is almost the same
Better looking case in terms of airflow
Most likely from the market being dumb
faster ram in ali455 too
could the GPU be the reason the price is the same?
I believe ALI484 was the one that used to cost ~1400$, but the price likely had to be raised
yeah
Well, GPU, since it's the same model, on desktop, have very little differences in performance
The highest end RTX 3080 against the lowest end RTX 3080, as long as the lower end one doesn't thermal throttle, likely performs within 3% of each other
mr1 10700f can run 3200mhz ram on a b460 right?
Like I dunno, Suprim x at like 1500$ against a Ventus 3x at ~800$
No
2933mhz on b460
Not wrong
yeah, I wasn't sure, because one is NVIDIA and the other ASUS, so I thought maybe the NVIDIA is better
@fervent forum Every single RTX 3060/ti/3070/3080/3090 GPU die is made by Nvidia
yeah internals are all the same
its just cooling and casing thats difference
maybe binning too
and some come factory overclocked
The GPU chip of the RTX 3080 are all basically the same, that's why they're all called RTX 3080, what's different is the cooler, and power delivery each vendor may decide to add on
cooling is better in the ALI455, with more fans
Cooling and casing of the graphics card
the chip that's on the graphics card is the same
Finally I understand the difference in the GPU's, thanks for pointing that out
Asus, EVGA, MSI, Colorful, Zotac, etc don't make the chip itself, they just design a PCB (Or take the reference PCB Nvidia gives them) and slap on a cooler.
:)
thanks for the great explanation
I stopped looking at gpu's a long time ago when you just said I have a 1gb video card 😉
with vga output that is.... 🙂
VGA is... fun? I mean, at least you know it's going to be more securely plugged in...
what did you mean with this?
wondering if it could have been VR Ready....
That was another point about different models of the same GPU, a RTX 3080 Suprim X (The highest priced 3080 I know of), and a RTX 3080 Ventus 3x (One of the lowest end cards I know), can perform about the same, given that they get enough airflow.
Hm, probably not, I doubt VGA carries enough bandwidth for any VR headsets xD
@tawny shoal what did you mean with this statement?
Basically, that bit is Intel as a company being dumb
iirc
Intel before 5xx boards decided to limit ram frequency to a max speed on all motherboard models other than the Z models to encourage people to spend more on a motherboard.
So on a B460/H410/H470 board, your ram will only be allowed to run at a max of 2666mhz for i3/i5, and a max of 2933mhz for i7/i9, but you were able to run your ram at any frequency the ram itself could run on a Z490 board.
you could still put in 3200mhz and have it work in those boards tho
You could put in ram RATED FOR 3200mhz, and have it work, but you can't RUN it at 3200mhz, it'll have to run at or below the cap.
prob 2933mhz
no prebuilt adds a z board without making it a selling point in the title :P
yeah lol
when will they start selling b560 prebuilts?
cause those can do good ram speeds
Dunno, I wouldn't trust prebuilts to do so
Well, it's be a very nice option for customizable prebuilts like redux or xotic
yeah
but others, they probably won't go for the better board, they'd just be cheap
mr1 you see the dude argueing with me on tiktok about running 3200mhz ram at 3200mhz with 10400f on b460?
last question, maybe not that technical: They offer another system ALI463 which has a AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.60 GHz for $100 more. But the ali455 has and offer for a free Monitor. What would you choose the free 27 gaming monitor or the better CPU for $100 more?
3700x is NOT better than 10700f in gaming
10700f should be better than 3700x in gaming, so, no brainer imo.
Take a look at the Single thread rating here, Single thread is what matters for games (assuming pc for games):
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-3700X-vs-Intel-i7-10700F/3485vs3806
the debate has always been that AMD is better in gaming, so another eye opener for me in terms how times have changed
3700x still pulls ahead in overall score because of the better multithread performance, and may be a better option if you need multithread performance (For example, video editing, sound editing)
yeah intel is alot better in gaming these days
Well, the debate is right atm... IF they're talking about AMD current gen parts (5600x/5800x/5900x etc)
so for video editing you would choose the 3700x and for gaming the intel
with the 11900k its gonna be a little close tho
That doesn't apply to 3xxx series against Intel 10xxx series
Basically, that'd be how I make the choice
And of course, on the other end, 10700f isn't bad for editing, nor is 3700x bad for gaming, they're just relatively worse compared to the other.
I've been away from HW to long...
It's alright, there's too much stuff going on in hardware to keep track of without spending all of your time on it.
yeah its crazy these days
it all started getting pretty messed up when cpu's started getting L3 cache etc etc
thanks a lot guys, was really banging my head to get to know why the price was the same
yeah companies havent been the easiest to follow if youve gone away from them
and if there were components that were less valuable in the "seemingly" cheaper system
like ryzen went 3k series for desktop, then 4k series just for mobile, then 5k series for desktop
really confusing
yup
Yea, 5900h already in some laptops
yeah its a mess
they shoulda been on 4k series rn
and just put 3k series with a "u" in their laptops
imo
what does the -h mean
Mobile for amd
suprised amd didnt do like a 6k series in their mobile
since they did that kinda thing with 3-4k series
hm
!rank
davejal, that command is disabled in this channel.
now newegg makes me compare ALA224 with the ali455 , I read wrong, the none of the systems have the free gaming monitor anymore
how would the 3060TI compare to the 3070 and the AMD compare to the INTEL in this case?
@fervent forum 3070 just beats 3060ti, it's just better.
AMD and Intel comparison still has the same ramifications
10%ish yeah?
Hm?
3060ti and 3070? I think 10-15%, but afaik this is about prebuilts at same prices, so 3060ti generally being better price to perf doesn't matter
yeah same prices ... and which one would be better. If both the gpu and CPU are better, then the deal is good
enermax revolution d.f. 850w
Yeah

Yams what is pfp now
Frog
You'd be amazed what people can find out about you from your Facebook. If you upload any pictures from your phone for example, they're all geo-tagged. I don't think they ever started stripping that metadata from images but it's been a while since I checked.
They don't but I don't let my phone use the geodata in the first place
Most people wouldn't know how to toggle that though. It's on by default.
I usually keep that off. Reset my phone a few times but usually get reminded cuz it asks for location permissions on first use
does nyone have a good deal on 16gb of ram
idk just buy two ram sticks
I dont have anything specific but I like to use letgo/offerup
good place to find cheap stuff
ok
does anyone know any good gpu's to buy
None that are reliably in stock. You might get lucky and find a 1660 for around $100 or you can find a stock drop discord channel that alerts you when the thing you want is in stock.
ok
It's been in stock for a week
No one wants it because it's not that great for the price
10700k is a better buy for the price
unless you already have an AM4 mobo like me
Better deal than when it was $99,999
lol'
2060 at the price of a 3080
terrible deal
:/
one left
i7
lol
fify
lol
how u make link not long
These aren’t great prices
The i7 Optiplex sure as heck isn’t and the i7-920 is an average selling price for it

ouch

💀
I thought for a second it was "wurst mod" like a customized german sausage or something
Theo isnt bad person why they bully him
Theo smells
hello
Pfp change
I've never met Theo, I'm just mean
I need help pc is not displaying on monitor
does your chip have onboard graphics
its a 10400
what CPU do you have
its Intel® Core™ i5-10400 Processor
checking it out.. 10 seconds
sorry, i'm not super familiar which have onboard or not off the top of my head so i google lol
ok
anyways, have you tried different cables to see if it's the cable
The reason I ask is that if it's an F there's no onboard GPU
Is that on the box?
Check the white label for the part number
i can see on the email receipt it is a 10400, no f or k
Also, please let's go to #building-and-recc-chat because this is tech deals. 😉
ok
Figured I'd drop here. Staples have a $50 credit for new accounts + $20 coupon that expires today. they have 10700f, 10600kf, 10400f that will be a lot cheaper than any other online retail that sells those cpus
Not a bad deal at all
I take it back. $50 saving is for signing up for their credit card
I didn't realize that on the coupon page
It seems to bug out with cart valued $200 or below.
If you put a 10600kf in your cart, and get like a $1 memo pad, you can use 51168 to get 10600kf for $180 pre tax
i have the i5 10400f and its a good cpu
how many people are chosen for each card??
thank youy
So i found this banger deal of a pc on fb marketplace
no way the 3090 is 3 times that price
i doubt its made of cardboard though
you think its made of cardboard?
that would be funny lol
Wait actually lol? I’ve seen that picture in build pics
Yeah that's from a meme
i'd buy it just for the meme tbh
Make your own in a half hour using Amazon boxes
who buys from amazon anymore? I only buy from wegg, who doesnt give boxes, just product packaging
Really? My 5800X from wegg came in a box bigger than most Amazon boxes
Lame, lazy butt warehouse/shipping guys
I've heard similar stories from friends and reddit
I only buy in batches of 6 so they come in boxes for me lol
Batches of 6 what?
Usually either processor or ram, sometimes mobos
To build 6 pc
I’m getting behind cause of homework :/
Too many pc
Who do you build those for lmao
My workspace is big mess
My dad
What does your dad do with them Kano
His employees work PCs
Uhhh
Low end Core or Ryzen?
10600k…
Wtf kinda work do those guys go
But not my decision
Idk apparently there’s one app that doesn’t run well on 2015 Mac mini so my dad was like, those cost around 600-700 bucks just build one for that much the best one you can get
@sharp ocean
Huh
It’s like some scheduling software too lol
I have built many pc
20 so far
For my dad
I need to build like 6 more for current batch and my dad said more computers incoming uh oh
bruh
why get a gaming-oriented cpu for a workstation theme
why not get a bunch of like 3100's or 3200g's if you need the igpu
because things
$176 for Crucial P1 2tb https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-2TB-NAND-NVMe-PCIe/dp/B07JFM524H
^^^Great deal.
Ehh, kinda slow but still usable as a game drive for sure
Aye quick question, My fiance is looking for a good drawing/art based tablet laptop which can handle light gaming. Anybody got some recommendations?
ipad xD honestly I don’t know many laptops that can game and are good for art too, maybe a surface idk
asus's amd lineup has a notebook that i think doubles as a tablet but you would have to use their external gpu for gaming stuff.
English isn't his strong suit
You could try get drawing tablet I guess to go with a gaming laptop. Wacom has some good ones and some of them now are even Bluetooth
I bought a Wacom tablet and then realized I still can’t draw
Haha nice then use for osu xD I haven’t had much time to draw lately but slowly slowly get better
I have been too lazy to hook up to pc
Well new pc
And I don’t play osu, though I might try it if I can get rid of all anime textures and backgrounds
I like the music but anime isn’t always appropriate
So I’m assuming some backgrounds wouldn’t be either
i haven’t seen too many innopropriate bgs and music but there are always a few
¯_(ツ)_/¯
`i got a 3090 for 5 bucks
I can print one out for cheaper bro. U got ripped off
I can print one out for free at library
Anybody know anything about pre-builts?
I’m trying to buy one cus I don’t feel comfortable building my own, I already messed up once
Build Redux is good IMO
What’s that?
Prebuilt website
Oh ok
They're pretty much MSRP plus $75 to build it
Nice nice
Can also remove Windows 10 and get your own key
Oh that’s preferable
and plus overpriced windows but shhh
nah i just was typing it before you sent that one

So if I want to be able to run Cold War, mw, battlefield, etc. what kind of power would I need?
They have presets for that on their website
Choose your games and they recommend a system based on that
How do I know what a good graphics card is? They all look/sound the same
lets see
Nvidia 2000/3000 series is good
after that, the higher number is better
usually
thats a very shallow explanation but still
@flat swift redux gpu pricing makes it kinda crappy now :(
And is a 3070 good?
it's at the point where I'd prob just go xotic
yes. However, a 2080 Super is better than a 3060
and a 3060Ti and 280 Super are both around the same performance
you just kinda gotta know what is what
similarly, a 3070 is about equivalent to a 2080Ti
Ti > Super > no extra moniker, by the way
theres a dell prebuild with 10100 + 1660 super i think for $640
8gb ram
uhhh i forgot the storage
oh
1tb hdd gross
well i mean could add more ram and an ssd ig
cringe
This is a hard choice on budget smh
what is your total budget
well whats ur budgewt
and they gone lol
Sorry I was on break at work, I just got off the shift so my bad
Honestly I don’t know but probably about just below 2000? But that’s a lot of money so I don’t want to spend that much of it’s not worth it
Well @ me if you come back
2000 smackas wow
No I haven’t
I didn’t get a notification that’s weird
I prefer as low budget as possible, but I’d also like to be able to play a modern game without losing frames.
And I do seem to run most of my tech to point of being on fire so the more cooling the better
This is of course an exaggeration
Pretty good build for $1400. Leaves you room to change the CPU or case if you want. Possibly upgrade the PSU and get a 3080. Just an example of what money can get you without going too overboard. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j6gVTJ
if you went 3080 you think itd be possible to fit in a 5800x if were going for sub 2k, i think you could
huh
@flat swift I say spend the extra 10$ for a Pilot-E, or save an extra 10$ with mp33
Ok what is the lowest budget I can buy a pc that can still run games at the same level as say an Xbox one
I meant a pc as a whole
The problem is, getting a gpu is just wacky, in the end, it's whatever the price of a GPU you can get your hands on, plus 200-300$ rest of PC
Ik I’m probably gonna have to go all in on gpu but idk anything else really
Let's go at it from the other side then, how much are you willing to spend?
See I have enough to go for a 2k budget but I’d really rather not. I’m thinking 800 max probably
800$ should be fair, assuming you can get like. 3060 at msrp
mhmm
I don’t need an engine of war lmao. I really just want something about as good as a console
like a 10400f and 3060 build mr1?
That's what I'm making, taking a bit since mobile
Kinda done
Segotep sg-g from Newegg
Right gotcha
One last time@im sorry I know@im pestering, this will run modern games normally?
Yes, and also, some warnings, get GPU first, don't buy anything until you have the GPU
Everything else is pretty easy to buy
Oh and btw here's the link to the psu
https://www.newegg.com/segotep-gp-series-600w-non-modular/p/1HU-00Z0-00008
could save some money by going mp34 if costs need to be cut
Mp33 only 5$ off and I like nice numbers so
cause you said this earlier
to the same drive
@tawny shoal ye, and then I check price
oh ok
Anyone got promo codes I could use on newegg?
e
$250 9900k microcenter
hmmmmmm do i get
time to throw away my 9700k and upgrade to a 9900k 
grr i really have to think about this now
I guess MC is trying to move stock to make room for 11's that release the end of the month
I’m in the same situation....
I shouldn’t do it, but I really want to. Lol
Xd
Especially since 9700k are selling for $250 on eBay...
9700k $200 at mc
Yes... but hyper threading lol
Ends in 16 hours tho
Dayum
ikr
Lovely deal
fr
Poggers deal
In, thanks for the heads up!
Philips 242E1GSJ 24" Gaming Monitor, 1920x1080 Full HD VA, 1ms, 144Hz, FreeSync Premium, VESA, 4Yr Advance Replacement https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FNQCS9Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CK8DNEQNKJNVY0B6Y677?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 it has a ton of reviews and a decent panel and it’s on sale
I’ve also seen vids featuring it
It looks good
116 bucks
dang thats cheap for 144hz
not bad tbh
24 inch though, I couldn't do less than 28 personally but it looks good besides that
for price pretty good tho
bigger than that pixel density starts to hit
Dang that’s a good price for that
Is it any good though when it comes to image colouring
ips better
Like, are the blacks actually black or a bit gray?
iirc?
"if I remember correctly"
yeah
Thank you!
i wouldnt use it for photo editing as a primary thing for sure
i think va usually has the best contrast tho
id say tho if you want color accuracy go grab a nice ips
What monitor would ya recommend for gaming and video editing?
if l was going for color accuracy id go ips
if going for ultra good gaming go tn
as tn will have lowest response times
That 116$ monitor is claiming 96.1% NTSC / 125.9% sRGB btw
Eh true
idk if its a super great deal but helix L 1tb is like 94 bucks rn
better than usual price of 100
Nah, usual helix L is like 91$
that means its a good panel
That's probably $800 worth of parts, being generous
Give or take, yeah
Partly also due to the current GPU shortage making prices go crazy
People are willing to pay double msrp on a used 4 year old card for some odd reason
wow
Any graphics cards around 500
3060ti FE if you can find one, it'll be hard to find literally anything at a decent price right now
A 3060? Damn.
It's a really good card, don't let it fool you. 3060ti beats a 2070, sometimes 2070 super, plus second gen ray tracing and better dlss
Mobile mistype, you're right
Oh wow. Guess he can get better than I thought. Now to find one in stock lmao
500 would be 3060ti fe or 3070fe
3060ti is better value
But 3070 is better performance
Know any places that'd have a ti?
Literally nowhere
There's a global shortage of raw material right now, they can't make enough to meet demand
Ah okay. So any graphics card will be hard to get at a good price
Best Buy is the only place that sells FE cards and they just dropped this morning, so you missed it
Exactly. Unless you're willing to pay more for a used card than the card cost when it was new.
i want a part that let the aux to two or smthng like that
Dang okay
when does the ryzen 9 5900x restock? or any 3080
sign up for wegg shuffle
No one knows for sure. Just gotta watch Best Buy in the mornings and enter Newegg Shuffle. Those are the highest demand parts right now in the middle of a shortage.
Sign up for a stock drop discord too
um
i dropped you a link to one of them
theres a lot more
thats just the one i use
cool thanks
np
Is there a shuffle going on rn
Not today
Me when no 3070
I lamps get notifications for the shuffle like hours late before you can get in it
Just check every weekday between 10AM-1PM PST, don't need to wait to get notified
How do you fix automatic repair on a pc
link to shuffle
which one should i get ROG Zephyrus S17 17.3 or GE66 10SFS 15.6" Gaming Laptop
Look up Xotic Laptops
hmmm
Pick a price point, customize it how you like
thank you!
I build my system about 3 years ago. I want to upgrade but need advice on what to upgrade first. Anyone willing to help?
I game and stream on it
Ryzen 7 2700x

Do you really need to upgrade?
If so ig I would flash bios and get a 5600x or something
I guess not. But I do have some extra funds. So why not.
I was thinking upgrading my cpu but just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the quick advise Sara
Yeah for streaming I'd go for a 5600X or 5800X, but the rest of the build looks good
Ok cool i really appreciate it.
@proven zealot what’s your CPU cooling system sand exactly how much do you have to spend
Its the corsair hydro h100i
And about 300-350
Is that 120mm, 240mm, 280mm, etc?
That's a 240
I think 240
Should be fine for a 5800x then
If you have ~$50 extra to spend
Lemme look up 5800x MSRP rq
It’s $450
8 cores
Available now on Wegg
5600X is a good deal at that price range, currently in stock too at $358
https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-5600x/p/N82E16819113666?Description=5600x&cm_re=5600x-_-19-113-666-_-Product&quicklink=true
Do you live near a microcenter?
Their 5000 series cpus are already cheaper than msrp iirc
5600x is $280 at microcenter
I like that
Nice! If that's in stock it's an awesome deal. That processor is king of price/performance right now.
I might have to make a pit stop after work then
you can check availability on the website
Ok cool.. Thanks guys. You went beyond on what I needed.
Ok
yeah just go buy the cpu's at microcenter if you live near one
Amazon and B&H photo also have the 5600x in stock right now.
PCI-E Sound Card 5.1Channels CMI8738 Chipset Audio Digital High Quality PCI Express Sound Card TXC090
Anyone know where I can get a low-profile bracket?
Well, do you already own the card? If not, there are sound cards the come with low profile brackets for ~20$
Otherwise, can't seem to find any by itself, likely because it's a small part that has a low profit margin.
pcie sound cards succ
Any good curved low hz cheap monitors?
i dont know
Can someone help me with this? I need to upgrade my current GeForce GTX 750 because it is no longer compatible with photoshop updates. My computer is a ASUS Tower M51AD. Do you have a suggestion. Not a gamer but need for photoshop & premier
Why would you want low hz 🤮
Probs a new machine, google says the cpu is 4th gen intel which is quite old
Idk it’s cheap and curved…
Soooo.....prebuilts?
Not a terrible option right now as long as they're not marked up too much
Prebuilts are actually usually the cheaper option rn unfortunately
Some $1400 ones with i7s and 3070s, I’ve seen before
I got a 1400 dollah stimulus buuuut
I'm not keen on spending it all on a prebuilt, especially since I'll still need a monitor
Which is why I'm kinda interested in laptops
Good temporary device for a few years
Can hook up to a monitor and comes with its own monitor, can't wait till more 1440p laptops arrive
yeah there are decent laptops that go on sale on newegg every now and then with 144hz monitors and 1660 supers and stuff for around 800 i think
its 1200 base price tho
i dunno
coughs in Xotic
The price tho...
there are cheaper ones
1440p laptops ain't gonna be cheap smh
hes probs looking at the $3000 Xotic laptops tho
im just talking about Xotic in general
still waiting on 4k,360hz, dual 3090s dual socketed cpus with 256gb of ram in laptop
server laptop
xD
I'm aiming for the $900-1400 range laptops
I might not get 1440p, but it is very possible to get an rtx 2070 laptop for that price gs66 stealth.
