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

hybrid garnet
#

Not great, but keep in mind I sold my 1060 3 gb for almost that much so who knows

knotty goblet
#

geez ok

hybrid garnet
#

You take what you can get if you need the upgrade now, but you should wait and save your money if possible

knotty goblet
#

okay cool thanks

#

the gpu situation is only going to get worse I think. so get what you can I guess

tawny shoal
#

super pog deal

tawny shoal
#

But for that price

#

A 4600u and a 5600m ain't bad

flat swift
#

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

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?

idle marsh

#

For that price its pretty good tbh

icy finch
dense solar
#

It was like $25 a while back

finite fjord
#

not really worth at $44

#

that's like Scythe pricing

flat swift
#

It's kind of a bad cooler period

finite fjord
#

at $25 it was good

#

think it's like a $35 cooler max

#

a500 isn't worth even 45 bucks

#

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?

flat swift
#

wat no

#

bet it's cooler only

#

read carefully

dapper cypress
#

is says nothing about the cooler id post the image

flat swift
#

I found it

dapper cypress
#

yes

flat swift
#

They canceled the listing lol

dapper cypress
#

lmaoo

#

probably meant to put it at 450 and put it at 45

#

bruh i just want these prices to go back to normal

sharp ocean
#

we all do

dapper cypress
#

i bought a 1070ti for 325 for my gf on ebay

#

and now they are 600$

sharp ocean
#

you should resell it

#

if you want

dapper cypress
#

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

velvet steeple
#

I remember when 1070s were like $170 for awhile

sharp ocean

hybrid garnet
#

You could get a 2080 for like $200 less than a year ago

sharp ocean
#

#

my friend got a strix 2080 for that much

#

still works perfectly fine

#

heavy as hell tho

tawny shoal
#

I got a 2080ti for 400

hybrid garnet
#

Yep that's a bit of a monster, but totally able to do 4k

sharp ocean
#

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

#

flat swift
#

Valheim in Vulkan is 90% of my GPU and only 10-15% of my cpu lol

fortnite has rtx?

sharp ocean

sharp ocean

GT 1030 not enabled for RTX, I dont think

tacit veldt
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sharp ocean
#

only newer GTX cards AFAIK

#

and RTX, obviously

glass mason
#

rtx fortnite doesnt even look that great

#

barely noticeable

sharp ocean
#

it does imo

glass mason
#

I think yeah it makes an improvement on lighting and stuff but it isnt that crazy of a difference

sharp ocean

flat swift
#

Ebay

hybrid garnet
#

Look at "completed" listings on ebay to find a rough price it'll sell at

worn rose
#

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

Best buy cc > newegg

#

u dont got points

tawny shoal
#

theo prolly paid to promote newegg products smh

#

bad_mod

hybrid garnet
#

"Sold" includes items that were bought but not paid for, that's why I prefer "completed" since it only counts paid/shippped

worn rose
#

huh it does?

wary agate
#

I really think they should add a newegg shuffle channel so discord bois can know when it dropping

flat swift
#

Why? Drops every day 10 AM on the website lol

#

Just check it

wary agate
#

Nothing dropped today, last drop was the first so thats not true

hollow prawn

Every time it does drop it's 10am

just look at the website at 10am

#

They're actually putting ryzen cpus into the regular stock now, so it's just gpus that are in the shuffle now anyway

i've seen the 3600 dip down to 160, so it's prolly that

pure crown

2700 and 2700x was pretty good price after 3rd gen ryzen launch

like around 160 at the start

also

#

someone please explain to me why my 4700u's iGPU sometimes performs better than a 1650Ti

proud lynx
#

why do the 6000 series cards always cost more than nvidia

#

i dont get it

sharp ocean
#

because AMD cooling solutions are better

twin garden
#

will gpu prices ever calm down?

sharp ocean
#

possibly

#

by 2023

twin garden
#

way too optimistic

#

maybe 2027 at the minimum

sharp ocean
#

if silicon and worker shortages stop and mining gets too hard for normal people

sharp ocean
#

the vaccine is doing it's work

twin garden
#

cool

sharp ocean
#

we will have enough vaccines for everyone in the US by late march or something like that

twin garden
#

i feel like if the gpu prices calm down, they will only be consistent until the new cards, which will get yoinked by scalpers

twin garden
#

assuming every person gets double dosed ofc

proud lynx
#

Herd Immunity

#

It should happen

hollow prawn
#

Eh, main problem won't be producing enough, main problem will be administering the vaccine @sharp ocean

sharp ocean
#

true

#

but thats been going mostly well so far

what happened with vetroo v5

#

is it still a good recco competing against se 224 xt ?

#

afaik vetroo v5 has a 3 pin connector Thonk

flat swift
#

better IMO

#

kept a 5900x chilly under a cinebench load

lone depot
#

how does the 3 pin connector impact noise thoo

#

thats what im wondering

#

since theres no pwm right ?

lone depot
flat swift
#

3 pin can be controlled

#

Set BIOS to VDC control instead of PWM

lone depot
#

voltage control vs pwm hmm

#

any significant difference ?

flat swift

Nope

Did anyone win the product shuffle?

calm prism

did anyone not get a "not selected" email for the shuffle? or like no email at all

proud lynx

they started around 630 my time

If they have gpus to sell on shuffle it'll be Monday - Thursday

lone depot
#

10 AM PST

#

yep.

wary agate
#

Well tried to open shuffle and it says expired oof

#

Normally it just says shuffle completed

wary agate
#

Hopefully they just ain't having one

hybrid garnet
#

Huh. Maybe they're not doing shuffle any more. I know they moved cpus to regular stock already.

wary agate
#

Would be a shame, GPU's just gonna be gone then

hybrid garnet
#

They pretty much are gone anyway, no one can make more when there's no silicon.

wary agate
#

GPU manufacturers source their own silicon, second or third level manufacturers are the ones really having to import or find pre made chips

sharp ocean
#

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

tawny shoal
#

sand

sharp ocean
#

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.

sharp ocean
#

how much?

tawny shoal
#

id hope sub-400

#

cause 3060ti around ish 2070s

#

closest to it

sharp ocean
#

3060Ti is 2080 super lmao

#

you mean 3060 non-Ti?

tawny shoal
#

isnt non ti around 2060s tho?

flat swift
#

Yes

tawny shoal
#

i thought ti was like 2080 ish

flat swift
#

3060 non-ti is 20-30% less than TI

tawny shoal
#

hmm

#

so closest 30 series card to 2070s is 3060ti right?

flat swift
#

yeah

tawny shoal
#

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

lone depot
#

2070 super is near identical to 2080

tawny shoal
#

yeah ik

#

2080 a little better

#

not for the money

#

but like 5-10 percent iirc

lone depot
tawny shoal
#

yeah still a difference just not worth it imo

proud lynx
#

3060ti is better than 2070s but slightly less than 2080s

#

I just want 3070 man, its at such a good sweet spot

frail wagon
#

3060ti is more of a sweet spot

#

10% slower for 20% less

flat swift
#

Yes

frail wagon
#

Supposedly 3070s are easier to find. I bought one in October so I can’t comment on current state

proud lynx
#

yeah thats what im seeing

lone depot
#

Pretty POG

3060ti is good workstation card tbh

sharp ocean

false

frail wagon

You’re paying for overclocking or compatibility

sharp ocean
#

not all RAM is made equally

flat swift
#

Just don't overclock it

austere thunder
#

I've never considered OLOy

#

Maybe I should, I don't overclock

flat swift
#

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

austere thunder
#

Hmm

sharp ocean
#

kinda rare but they def exist

austere thunder
#

Maybe I'll stick to G.skill aegis when I buy ram next lol

sharp ocean
#

aegis lmao

flat swift
#

If you're not looking to overclock, just get XMP specs that are good speed and timings

sharp ocean

everyone wants to OC at some point, Vintage

why, I just bought an AIO just for overclocking

fervent forum
#

Hello

tawny shoal
#

hi

fervent forum
#

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.

hollow prawn
#

Well, I'd just take ALI455, everything points towards ALI455 being better atm

tawny shoal
#

cpu in ali455 better

#

yeah

fervent forum
#

But I'm new to gaming builds so not sure why the price is almost the same

hollow prawn
#

Better looking case in terms of airflow

tawny shoal
#

10700f vs 10400f is not that close

#

10700f better

hollow prawn
tawny shoal
#

faster ram in ali455 too

fervent forum
#

could the GPU be the reason the price is the same?

hollow prawn
#

I believe ALI484 was the one that used to cost ~1400$, but the price likely had to be raised

tawny shoal
#

yeah

hollow prawn
#

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

tawny shoal
#

mr1 10700f can run 3200mhz ram on a b460 right?

hollow prawn
#

Like I dunno, Suprim x at like 1500$ against a Ventus 3x at ~800$

#

No

#

2933mhz on b460

tawny shoal
#

uhhh

#

then ali455 is wrong

hollow prawn
#

Not wrong

fervent forum
tawny shoal
#

ig they may give you 3200 ram

#

just it wont run at 3200

hollow prawn
#

@fervent forum Every single RTX 3060/ti/3070/3080/3090 GPU die is made by Nvidia

tawny shoal
#

yeah internals are all the same

#

its just cooling and casing thats difference

#

maybe binning too

#

and some come factory overclocked

hollow prawn
#

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

fervent forum
hollow prawn
#

Cooling and casing of the graphics card

#

the chip that's on the graphics card is the same

fervent forum
hollow prawn
#

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.

#

fervent forum
#

I stopped looking at gpu's a long time ago when you just said I have a 1gb video card 😉

VGA is... fun? I mean, at least you know it's going to be more securely plugged in...

fervent forum
fervent forum
hollow prawn
#

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

fervent forum
tawny shoal
#

motherboard limits ram speed

#

on that one

hollow prawn
#

Basically, that bit is Intel as a company being dumb

tawny shoal
#

iirc

hollow prawn
#

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.

tawny shoal
#

you could still put in 3200mhz and have it work in those boards tho

hollow prawn
#

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.

tawny shoal
#

yeah

#

mr1 so that ali455 wont run at 3200

#

it just has 3200 ram

hollow prawn
#

prob 2933mhz

tawny shoal
#

yeah

#

i wonder how many ppl that title tricks

hollow prawn
#

no prebuilt adds a z board without making it a selling point in the title :P

tawny shoal
#

yeah lol

#

when will they start selling b560 prebuilts?

#

cause those can do good ram speeds

hollow prawn
#

Dunno, I wouldn't trust prebuilts to do so

tawny shoal
#

mhmm

#

b460 cheaper ig

#

for them

hollow prawn
#

Well, it's be a very nice option for customizable prebuilts like redux or xotic

tawny shoal
#

yeah

hollow prawn
#

but others, they probably won't go for the better board, they'd just be cheap

tawny shoal
#

mr1 you see the dude argueing with me on tiktok about running 3200mhz ram at 3200mhz with 10400f on b460?

fervent forum
#

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?

hollow prawn
#

3700x is NOT better than 10700f in gaming

#

10700f should be better than 3700x in gaming, so, no brainer imo.

fervent forum
hollow prawn
#

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)

tawny shoal
#

yeah intel is alot better in gaming these days

hollow prawn
#

Well, the debate is right atm... IF they're talking about AMD current gen parts (5600x/5800x/5900x etc)

fervent forum
tawny shoal
#

with the 11900k its gonna be a little close tho

hollow prawn
#

That doesn't apply to 3xxx series against Intel 10xxx series

#

Basically, that'd be how I make the choice

hollow prawn
fervent forum
#

I've been away from HW to long...

hollow prawn
#

It's alright, there's too much stuff going on in hardware to keep track of without spending all of your time on it.

tawny shoal
#

yeah its crazy these days

fervent forum
#

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

tawny shoal
#

yeah companies havent been the easiest to follow if youve gone away from them

fervent forum
#

and if there were components that were less valuable in the "seemingly" cheaper system

tawny shoal
#

like ryzen went 3k series for desktop, then 4k series just for mobile, then 5k series for desktop

tawny shoal
#

yup

hollow prawn
#

Well, there's also the 4750g and 4650g for desktop

#

It's a mess

tawny shoal
#

yeah

#

wont the 5k series be in laptops too?

hollow prawn
#

Yea, 5900h already in some laptops

tawny shoal
#

yeah its a mess

#

they shoulda been on 4k series rn

#

and just put 3k series with a "u" in their laptops

imo

how would the 3060TI compare to the 3070 and the AMD compare to the INTEL in this case?

hollow prawn
#

@fervent forum 3070 just beats 3060ti, it's just better.

#

AMD and Intel comparison still has the same ramifications

flat swift
#

10%ish yeah?

hollow prawn
#

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

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.

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

hybrid garnet
#

Not a bad deal at all

weary radish

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

lets see

Nvidia 2000/3000 series is good

after that, the higher number is better

#

usually

#

thats a very shallow explanation but still

blissful lichen
#

Oh ok

So 3070 is better than 3060

@flat swift redux gpu pricing makes it kinda crappy now :(

blissful lichen

And is a 3070 good?

hollow prawn
#

it's at the point where I'd prob just go xotic

sharp ocean
#

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

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

hollow prawn
#

@blissful lichen any modern gpu + 200-300$

#

GPU is the issue and most of the price

blissful lichen
#

I meant a pc as a whole

hollow prawn
#

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

blissful lichen

Ik I’m probably gonna have to go all in on gpu but idk anything else really

hollow prawn
#

Let's go at it from the other side then, how much are you willing to spend?

blissful lichen

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

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
