$1100 and $1500

For the quality you usually get from MSI, its a pretty good deal, it puts your laptop on par with an 3060 laptop

[dapper cypress]

hey um anyone else noticing the 45$ 5700xt on ebay

why are people selling these so low

are these scams?

[analog pier]

are they broken?

[half karma]

prob a picture

[dapper cypress]

they say working condition and everything

[half karma]

check the description, ik of some people that put up pics of 3080's and sell them por crazy prices to target bots

[sharp ocean]

scam

[oblique cave]

I wouldn't take a 5700xt even if it was legot

[dapper cypress]

well guess im getting my money back from ebay as they always side with dah customer

[oblique cave]

Legit*

For 45$

Wouldn't be legit even if it was legit uwu

[dapper cypress]

person has almost 1000 reviews all good and been on the site since 2006

idk why they would choose now to throw the account

accounts may be free but rep is not

Direct from Hong Kong

[dapper cypress]

honestly tho 47 dollars to see if its real isnt that bad, because ebay sides with the customer they will just get their money back

if it doesnt specify any where that its a box of any kind or not real then you can get your money back super quickly

[flat swift]

Why even waste the money and time in the first place?

[dapper cypress]

hmm like the lottery

there is a sliver of a hope that you could win it

people are desperate

although if it is a scam i think what they do is delete the acc take your money, ebay gives you your money back and the only one loosing is the big company and maybe your time

[flat swift]

Or you if it's a bum card and takes out your slot or something.

[dapper cypress]

well thats why you use a test bench you silly goose

[flat swift]

Or just don't waste time and money

[dapper cypress]

well like i said its like the lottery

thats open for you to not buy into it

[austere thunder]

Then do it

Buy the bomb card

Do it now

[flat swift]

Listing gone anyway. Should have bought that 750TI while you had the chance lol

[dapper cypress]

i already bought the 5700xt for 45$

link?

telling us theyre there doesnt rly help us much lol

[hybrid garnet]

Yes we've seen several listings posted today and called each one a scam or hijacked account

Odds are that an account that has 45 reviews, and only a few as a seller, isn't going to actually have 30 identical used cards for example

[tawny shoal]

mhmm

[austere thunder]

Buy from a seller with thousands of seller reviews

That's been around since like 2007

So set your expectations a bit more expensive

[tawny shoal]

still could be a hacked acc

[hybrid garnet]

True, but less likely if it's an account that's been actively selling recently.
I was selling a mesh router last month for dirt cheap and someone asked me if it was stolen or something lol. If it was, why would I admit to it?

I'm quite proud of my 100% rating, not going to jeopardize my reputation doing that.

[tawny shoal]

imma go find your acc and leave you bad review

That's soooo much ram

[flat swift]

I have 32

it's possible to use it

rendering, etc

[icy finch]

I used to use close to 40 gb when I was doing video editing

[sharp ocean]

coughs in video editing

[oblique cave]

Does....video editing...actually take that much????? Holy

[flat swift]

It can

[oblique cave]

I assume we aren't talking about the typical, snipping, cutting and frame by frame captioning

[flat swift]

Rendering and editing, not just the basic stuff

[oblique cave]

[tawny quest]

some basic editing in 1080p isn't too intensive until you start adding a lot of layers and effects or if you on windows using premiere and it just like to be stupid

[umbral trellis]

The fact that the amount of ram isnt a power of 2 freaks me out

[clever marsh]

does anyone have a stock drop group they can share? 😭

[umbral trellis]

Not really

[oblique cave]

Wait, is it not dual channel?

[umbral trellis]

Ram sticks for ddr 4 are available in 4 gb 8gb 16 gb and 32 gb configs.

[heavy steeple]

Anyone know where I can get a decent i7 7700 motherboard? I've got an omen stock motherboard I wanna switch out

[tawny shoal]

standard connectors?

like 24 pin mobo and all that?

[nova geyser]

Idk if there's a point changing motherboard without changing cpu especially if it's a 7700

[heavy steeple]

24 pin and an 8 pin

[tawny shoal]

why you even want to switch?

[heavy steeple]

I didn't have the money to switch to a completely new cpu but I still wanted to get as much efficiency as a can. So I wanted a better motherboard new ram and a better air cooling cpu heatsynch

[tawny shoal]

a better mobo wont really help it

unless its throttling it somehow

which i doubt

[hollow prawn]

I reccomend saving up for new cpu+motherboard+ram if possible

[tawny shoal]

mhmm

get on lga 1200 if going intel at least

[hollow prawn]

If you just want a new heatsink, Gammaxx 400 for 25$ is very good for the price

[heavy steeple]

For now I think I'm just gonna do heating and a good ssd to run my os since it only came with hdd (is an hp prebuild)

[hollow prawn]

Here's the reasoning: Any new motherboard you buy that fits a 7700 won't fit any newer chip

Fair, how much do you want to spend on a ssd?

[heavy steeple]

90 max

[hollow prawn]

Does the motherboard have a m.2 slot?

Helix L or mp33 1tb should still be 90$ for 1tb

[tawny shoal]

mhmm

[heavy steeple]

2 m.2 slots

I was figuring Samsung just cause I'm familiar with the build quality

[hollow prawn]

Samsung is eh, overpriced imo

Probably won't get a <100$ 1tb Samsung m.2 drive for another 5 years xD

[heavy steeple]

hi tomie

[sharp ocean]

not much in the prebuilt market around $800

im sure I can find something but not anything thats that good

if you want to keep the $800 budget then just say so, but i would recommend giving it an extra hundred or two dollars

[terse night]

850?

[sharp ocean]

thats still not great

ill see what I can cook up

https://xoticpc.com/collections/g3-avenger/products/g3-avenger-optimal-ready-to-ship

I want to say that I really do not like this price or those parts

but thats just about the best you can get around your budget

it doesnt even say exactly which graphics card is inside it

[terse night]

ok

tysm bro

appreciatie it

[sharp ocean]

no problem

like I said, you would be much better off building it yourself

but that^ is probably the best you can get around $800

[tropic rover]

Lol we got a pretty small pc Intel i5 10400f and 1660s for $800 +tax

[latent bloom]

How much was the 1660

Because 10400 are like 150 so do how you got so high

[hybrid garnet]

Every gpu is inflated price right now
But it's more than just processor and gpu in a price. There's a similar build available from Dell right now and I think they still have their 17% off coupon deal, so it's around $800.

[latent bloom]

I know I thought they built it

For dell that is not bad

[hybrid garnet]

Even then, $150 for cpu, $90 for ram, $100 for the case, another $100 for the board, $75 for power, doesn't leave much in the budget for the gpu

[tawny shoal]

You could go cheaper case

60-70 sounds decent for budget case

[latent bloom]

I know that is why I am asking

[hybrid garnet]

Oh I misinterpreted then, thought it was sarcasm lol

[latent bloom]

90 for ram is a lot

[hybrid garnet]

For 16gb 3200+ it's about the low point today

[latent bloom]

It is a locked cpu and 16 gb at 3200 is only like 70 bucks which is cheaper than a cheap 2133 or 2666 kit

[latent bloom]

Everything but gps is verry cheap

[hybrid garnet]

I was mostly giving ballpark numbers based on what I personally would buy, coming from the person that just spent $180 on ram

[latent bloom]

I know

[latent bloom]

Why yes I need 32 gb of trident z neo at 3600

[flat swift]

Well

[latent bloom]

That seems about the right ram for that price

[flat swift]

I have 32GB of 3600 C16 but not Trident

[latent bloom]

I have 32gb of 3200 not trident

[hybrid garnet]

Nope, only 16gb. It was rated for 4133

[latent bloom]

But vengeance rgb pro

Ohh so the ballistics that run faster than what your cpu can hane

[hybrid garnet]

I'm running it at 3800c14 right now

[latent bloom]

[flat swift]

Well, the max rated ram speed on the CPU website is kinda BS

for both AMD and INtel

[latent bloom]

If you are on ryzen that is the most that you can get since the infinity fabrics is not getting past 1800

[flat swift]

Um

It can go to 1900 on the regular

2000 is a bit far tho

[hybrid garnet]

I have a 5800X and the IF is perfectly stable at 1900

[latent bloom]

Huh

[hybrid garnet]

I can get it game stable at 2000

[latent bloom]

Wow

[flat swift]

Ye

AGESA updates are kinda awesome for that

[wide trout]

1800 was the old limit for zen 2

[latent bloom]

Ohh that is what I was thinking

[flat swift]

I want to try the new AGESA this weekend and see how far I can go now

[latent bloom]

Good luck

[flat swift]

Kinda....Dread got his to 1900 yesterday

[latent bloom]

Stable for running benchmarks

[hybrid garnet]

How many WHEAs though?

[flat swift]

Mine will do 1866 but not 1900, going to try the new AGESA out this weekend to see if I can push 1900

[wide trout]

but does he run 1900 daily?

[flat swift]

None so far

[hybrid garnet]

Not blue screens, but like occt testing

That would be extremely impressive

[flat swift]

I dunno about OCCT

BUt so far stable with no BSODS

3800C18 so not the best but working

[hybrid garnet]

Yeah occt would pick up any "corrected" errors

[flat swift]

I mean, before this last BIOS OCCT would error out on my CPU in about 2 seconds

No changes other than AGESA code, OCCT loves my CPU again

I have faith this one might actually work XD

[hybrid garnet]

Yeah 1.2.0 was like magic

[flat swift]

That actually was garbage for me

AMD AM4 AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.1 is the magic

[hybrid garnet]

Oh my board didn't get that one, it's only X470. I pretty much upgraded my cpu the week that came out.

[flat swift]

Yeah, 1200 had one of my cores pretty much drop out under stress with PBO on

drop down to 1.5 ghz with the rest at 4.2

1201 all is well again

[hybrid garnet]

Well I'm boosting up and over 5GHz under average single core load on at least 3 cores, so it's working for me

[flat swift]

Sweet! We have completely different platforms tho

X570 with Zen 2

XD

3700x bronze sample, release day chip, it sucks

[modest hinge]

hi 🙂

[hybrid garnet]

True, X570 has its own set of problems

[flat swift]

SO far so great

0 issues

Dual M.2's, onboard wifi, USB slots full, runs like a champ

No DAC noise or USB dropout

[hybrid garnet]

Guess you're one of the lucky ones then. AMD had to get involved to fix the USB problems. Fix release is pending.

[flat swift]

Yep, new AGESA beta out soon, full patch in APril

Beta AGESA already sent to board partners, they're making BIOS as we speak

alternatives to the 5600X or 3700X ye. i mean yeah 11th gen is right around the corner, but at prices like these, i'd say they're worth buying

[hybrid garnet]

Right, it's not just what performs the best, but also how much it costs at the performance level

[lone depot]

So far been keeping stable

Is this a good price for my budget pc and could it run apex at high fps?

[flat swift]

Define high FPS?

[lone depot]

100+ at 1080p

[flat swift]

Med-high settings 1080p yes

[lone depot]

Awesome

How many FPS do u think it could run valorant?

[sharp ocean]

Apex is well optimized

it could probs do high decently well

[flat swift]

I checked a benchmark

A video

high was sub 100 FPS

[sharp ocean]

alright then

[flat swift]

Valorant 1080p high is 150+ fps

[lone depot]

Nice

So I should aim for a 144hz monitor?

Or higher?

[tiny cargo]

144 hz is a good refresh rate to look for

[tawny shoal]

well not exactly

some ppl benefit from it

[lone depot]

I’m gonna be playing esports titles

Overwatch, fortnite, valorant, and a ton of apex

[tawny shoal]

depends on budget tbh

for monitor

if sub 200 id go 1080p 144

if you wanna splurge on it you can get a higher one

[lone depot]

I really want an Ultrawide curved, but it’s hard to find one that’s affordable, 1080p, and 144hz

[tawny shoal]

hmm

so a 32 inch probably?

[lone depot]

Something like that, it can be 30ig

Just around that area

[tawny shoal]

hm

you gonna be doing cad or anything that requires scale?

[lone depot]

Whats cad?

[tawny shoal]

computer aided design

like 3d modeling

[lone depot]

Oh no

[tawny shoal]

ok good

[lone depot]

Just gaming and school work

[tawny shoal]

curved isnt great for stuff that needs scale lol

[low silo]

also fps games don't really like ultrawide monitors

[half karma]

csgo in ultrawide 😳

racing games look awesome in ultra wide ngl

[sharp ocean]

What’s AutoCAD?

[tawny shoal]

its cad

[sharp ocean]

That’s it?

What’s the Auto for then

[umbral hazel]

What is this

[tawny shoal]

its automated

[tawny quest]

cad is ncie

[sharp ocean]

Just download VorpX

No need for an ultra wide

[half karma]

what's that

[tawny shoal]

bend and stretch your monitor to make it a ultrawide curved

[sharp ocean]

Allows you to play basically any flatscreen game in a VR headset

that's nice

[violet girder]

Is this indeed a massive scam that I am seeing?

https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-001U-000B1?Description=IPASON&cm_re=IPASON-_-9SIAU1ZE2J4270-_-Product

“Ryzen 9 5950x”, “RTX 3090”, “X570-E mobo”, and “G.Skill Trident Z Memory”

When in reality you get some 7th or 6th gen Intel CPU on an Asus ROG Maximus X motherboard, with a graphics card which probably isn’t even an nvidia graphics card

[flat swift]

Scam? No. Overpriced? yes.

[violet girder]

Are you sure? The item description indicates that you will get a Ryzen 9 5950x, RTX 3090, G.Skill Trident Z Memory, etc

But if you look at the image, those parts are nowhere to be seen

[flat swift]

IMages don't represent the parts

[violet girder]

Ah so whatever is in the PC in the image may not represent the actual computer?

[flat swift]

yes, that's pretty typical TBH

However, I wouldn't buy that one anyway

[violet girder]

Yeah, extremely overpriced

[flat swift]

Overpriced and the store doesn't have very good ratings

[violet girder]

Yep

[flat swift]

13% positive lol

[hybrid garnet]

Looks like a lot of people received damaged parts (typical when shipping large items international tbh) or parts were missing

[flat swift]

Yeah, they come directly from China

bound to be issues

[tawny shoal]

it looks like those parts are in that pic from what im seeing

altho it is very overpriced

[fallow plank]

what sites do you guys use for gpu deals?

[flat swift]

A 3090 with one power cable

Look closer

[tawny shoal]

ohhh i see

close tho

[hybrid garnet]

GPU deals don't exist right now

[fallow plank]

lol thats what ive noticed, just trying to find a rtx 2060 but pat an arm and leg

[flat swift]

They're all expensive

Even used are nuts

[fallow plank]

double retail price, it seems

[hybrid garnet]

Yeah, I could sell my 2070 for double or more from what I bought it for easily

[oblique cave]

Yes or nah

[flat swift]

sure

[hybrid garnet]

That's not bad for a laptop tbh. I've seen better though. Let me see if I can find one.

[oblique cave]

It's a thin laptop tho..albeit, the cooling is very...meh

It's loud.

And if u get a 3080 one.....throttling..

[hybrid garnet]

All true. A laptop cooling pad will help with those issues. Also the mobile versions of the cpu and gpu aren't as powerful as desktop.

[hybrid garnet]

One cheaper option, if newegg ships to you
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834725126?&quicklink=true

[oblique cave]

Idk why tho..but

Even tho laptops have only 15.6 inch screens

I want 1440p >.>

[tawny shoal]

ppi is good enough on 1080p laptop screens tho imo

plus 1080 easier on laptop hardware to run

and easier on battery

[pallid saddle]

https://www.newegg.com/white-deepcool-gamer-storm-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811853079

NZXT H510 with much better features, like acutal airflow holes, a 1-to-4 fan hub, and a GPU hodler with magnetic glass/back panel

[icy finch]

Still looks like an oven to me

I don’t see too many airflow holes

[hybrid garnet]

Yeah, uh, where are the holes supposed to be? Cause I don't see them.

[sharp ocean]

That thing looks like the H510 but no tempered glass

[hybrid garnet]

It says tempered glass

But I don't even see the "side vents"

[sharp ocean]

I don’t see any vents

[hybrid garnet]

BTW those "design awards" you can literally buy. It's like $1000 to get your product to "win".

[sharp ocean]

Lmao

A shame

Deepcool usually makes decent products

[hybrid garnet]

Lol

[sharp ocean]

Omfg

[hybrid garnet]

The 310p apparently has top exhaust at least but this doesn't even have that

[sharp ocean]

How tf does air get through those

[austere thunder]

Ventn't

[hybrid garnet]

By running 6x EK Vardar fans at 100% I'd guess

[sharp ocean]

Lmao

12x 12x25s

[hybrid garnet]

I will say one nice thing about it, they include a GPU anti-sag bracket

[sharp ocean]

Any decently heavy GPU already comes with one tho

[hybrid garnet]

B tier, plenty reliable for that power range at least but I wouldn't power anything more than a 1060 or so on it

And I never count rebates in my bargains because half the time I never actually get it

[glass mason]

my 3080 aorus master didnt

thats because it has to be decent smh

@hidden topaz I can't identify anything in particular but a GPU like that for $90?? That's all you need. I'll bet that listing and store gets taken down soon. 262 sold? Where they get 300 of those things? It just stinks all around

[hidden topaz]

Yeah, I thought maybe I was being blind and couldn’t see the “this is a piece of paper” in the description or something

[flat swift]

No, there's nothing obvious other than a super low price and having sold 264 of them

Where'd they get 300 of these cards lol?

[last egret]

@flat swift scam or hacked account lol

[flat swift]

Exactly

[pure crown]

or maybe they sold those many cards to themselves to improve the sales rate by making consumers think these are safe buys

[flat swift]

Yeah, I'll bet it gets pulled down soon

They don't last too long

[glass mason]

also another thing

[flat swift]

308 sold now XD

[glass mason]

the description says 6+ 2 pcie but it has 2 8 pins in the image

[flat swift]

I'll bet every single one gets refunded

[pure crown]

I found an H510 ripoff

[nova geyser]

Loli mean the only thing h510 is good for is being a furnace and easy to build in XD

[whole plover]

yeah fake listing, tried to buy a 1650 from a similarly confusing seller, lots of shady stuff, initially got a notification that it was shipping, but then it had no estimated date, then the original listing was taken down, thankfully ebay/paypal always sides with buyers so the refund was real quick

[low silo]

looks like twice the airflow

The listing is gone now

@flat swift You called it

[flat swift]

Less than 2 hours for it to go down. It was right around 400 sold lol

[hybrid garnet]

Not even a "you missed out!" message but a "can't find item" message, so it was just plain taken down by ebay or the seller

[flat swift]

Yup

Gonzo

[tropic eagle]

Used to have one. Never got too warm, but the airflow did suck. Moved to a H710. Still not the best airflow, but so much better.

[hybrid garnet]

You can always remove the front panel while you're gaming to improve airflow

[tropic eagle]

Honestly, even while gaming, I have no real issues.

[hybrid garnet]

Still an option if it does become a problem later or if you're paranoid

[tropic eagle]

The only thing that ever really gets a little warm is my CPU. That's just my cooler though.

[nova geyser]

yeah ive a s340 which is a bit better but airflow sucks lol

[nova geyser]

ive been debating doing this with my s340 tbh

[tropic eagle]

Honestly, if you want an H series from NZXT and don't mind the huge case, I'd always suggest the H710 or H700.

[hybrid garnet]

I can't fit a full tower like that on my desk lol, not without blocking the top vents and modding my desk

[tropic eagle]

That's unfortunate. The only problem I had was that my PC could only go on one side of my desk because of where I mounted my TV. Just a few inches too low to fit my PC under it.

[torpid bluff]

Any recommendations on laptops? I'm really leaning on the https://www.newegg.com/celestial-blue-asus-zenbook-duo-ux481fa-db71t-mainstream/p/N82E16834235507?Item=N82E16834235507

Scared it will break easy

I am considering a chromebook just for basic stuff and efficiency but the ASUS provide some decent laptops

[prisma moth]

do u want it for gaming or just work

[lethal prism]

Work

Ideally something comfortable for my big hands :l

[prisma moth]

just dont get a chromebook

[lethal prism]

lol

[prisma moth]

is my recommendation

[lethal prism]

for sure

[prisma moth]

xps 13 i have heard is good

[lethal prism]

Well like I'm going through tutoring sessions towards learning programming basics so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I just don't want to get a macbook pro

[lethal prism]

Anything refurbished would be good too, for some reason I like the idea of a tough book

thanks

[prisma moth]

macbook pro has 20 hr battery life tho

if u get one with ARM chips

[lethal prism]

what year, I just am aposed to them due to the software updates slowing the computer over time

wdyt

[prisma moth]

they stopped doing that

bc they got sued

and lost

[lethal prism]

I used to have all apple products but I just absolutely hated them

[icy finch]

The most recent ones

[lethal prism]

For real?

[prisma moth]

i use macbook pro for workflow

[icy finch]

But if you don’t like Apple products I wouldn’t reccomend one

[lethal prism]

I know that case but like, I don't know if I want to support apple again

[prisma moth]

and have a gaming pc for gaming

i just like the ecosystem

[icy finch]

Their mostly for show

[prisma moth]

apple ecosystem

[lethal prism]

I like apple, just it's business practices, I want something that works for a long time, that's why im thinking refurbished, whatever you guys may recommend tho

I'm not opposed to buying something new

If it lasts

Also no factory workers jumping off the building :/

[icy finch]

Not an expert on laptops, but the new ryzen laptops that were released this year look good

[lethal prism]

Any on sale or should I wait a bit

I'm a healthcare worker so I was wondering on getting microsoft discounted or lenovo laptops discounted

Just ID.ME is taking forever to process my request, it's been 5 months lol

idfk whats going on with them

[icy finch]

No buying or selling

It’s a rule

[prisma moth]

just dont get a surface pro like other healthcare workers

[lethal prism]

I was actually considering that

Overheats easily?

[prisma moth]

someone i know there new surface pro always blue screens

[icy finch]

The surface pro is perfectly fine

[prisma moth]

from overheating

[icy finch]

Not amazing tho

[lethal prism]

oh okay, I mean if you guys recommend the DELL laptop for general use and reliability I'll get it

[prisma moth]

xps13

[icy finch]

The older surfaces are good and my friend has used one for a long time

[lethal prism]

refurbished seems like better deals tho so if that's an option idk

[icy finch]

What budget do you have?

[lethal prism]

yeah I'm looking at it, if you guys think it's best for general use like I said

[prisma moth]

the thing i sent is refurbished

[lethal prism]

Anything goes, just don't want an apple product to slow down on me like the 2012 macbook pro did

that's why I'm like so adamant about apple, just so freaken slow

oh it is? i thought it was new

im looking at it

[prisma moth]

it says refurbished

[lethal prism]

OH DOH, ur right

underneath the title lol

sorry

[lethal prism]

I mean, not like I'll be using photoshop but like just want a general good use computer

[prisma moth]

overpriced beasts

[lethal prism]

oh okay

[icy finch]

I would look up dedicated reviews for light laptops on YouTube for the most useful advice

[prisma moth]

its not rlly helpful for what u need

[lethal prism]

But it's on sale bro O>O jk

[prisma moth]

^

[lethal prism]

I looked on reddit

they seemed to recommend lenovo refurbished laptops

[prisma moth]

newegg thing always has things on sale which arent actually on sale

[lethal prism]

oh

[prisma moth]

the msrp just got lowered from original launch

same with ryzen chips

[icy finch]

People who can give performance stats, battery life comparisons and general use ability

[lethal prism]

Yeah. hmmmmmm

Do you guys typically sell your laptops at a certain point like the idea of a car? Like do you keep your laptop for a long time till it ends or just trade it in towards something new

[prisma moth]

i usually get apple laptops

[lethal prism]

Just wondering because I don't mind dishing out the money towards something that lasts

yeah... ugh

[prisma moth]

so i just turn mine in for store credit

and use it on another things

[lethal prism]

think I should just get a refurbished apple macbook pro? :/

[prisma moth]

do what i did

do the student discount

-$100 discount

• free airpods

[lethal prism]

hmm, wonder if they have a medical discount

[prisma moth]

just use ur old university card

and if u buying online

[lethal prism]

yeah I have before

[prisma moth]

u dont need to show proof

[lethal prism]

Man, I wouldn't be in this position if I didn't give my ex the 2012 macbook pro

[prisma moth]

nvm the promotion is only during the summer

[lethal prism]

whens that

[prisma moth]

early fall and late spring

the student thing

[lethal prism]

Actually, I have a iMac I could trade in towards a macbook pro with the student discount. I was considering on adding more ram to it or storage slots to it to make it faster. The thing is so freaken slow

Next to refurbished, I'll defintely look into it. Thanks guys

i dont think you need an echo to use a smart plug

you can push a psyical button to turn it on/off on it

but kinda defeats the whole smart thing

[hybrid garnet]

Right but I already have light switches for that

[tawny shoal]

even for your normal outlets?

i could see it for stuff you just wanna leave plugged in, and just use a button for

remember its fully rated for a normal wall outlet

i have one

[hybrid garnet]

I have gfci outlets in my kitchen, I just hit "test" and the outlet is off. Everything else is on a power bar or light switch.

Assuming that my Asus Z87 Sabertooth got me five years and would have been more if I wasn't careless my GTX 970 is still pretty capable but three of my memory modules have burned out and are unrepairable so I'm running on four gigs of RAM what would you consider a cheap and what would you consider a good investment into the computer? I have a brand new case h510 elite but that's about it. and then a billion and a half cables that I need to find uses for years of trying to ghetto rig and sidestep.

[upper zephyr]

Anything on external ssd's for a PS5 out there?

[dense solar]

Oh nice

[hybrid garnet]

External? You can use just about anything tbh. It's the internal ones that have yet to be figured out.
Personally I'd recommend a Western Digital P50.

[upper zephyr]

Yeah, I have a sata I'm using but I keep getting corruptions. I've also learned since my question that the PS5 puts the USBs to sleep after 3 hours

[hybrid garnet]

Well, you can wait until the update coming this summer that's supposed to allow SSD upgrades for the internal drive

[upper zephyr]

Rather default is 4 hours, but you can change settings.

[upper zephyr]

I may go that route

[hybrid garnet]

External only works for PS4 games anyway, since that was a cheap HDD already lol

when will the gpu prices drop?

[pallid saddle]

no

[mighty jolt]

No body can really confirm a date because no one knows the future, but my guess is 3-4 years

But I can also see it being a lot earlier

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[unborn phoenix]

Maybe a year
Maybe 3 or 4

Probably around 3

[sharp ocean]

Nvidia is predicted to order a lot more silicon stock for Lovelace

[unborn phoenix]

whats lovelace

is it some codename project

[sharp ocean]

Architecture name of 4000-series GPUs

Generally before they come out we call them by their architecture name

[unborn phoenix]

ok

[sharp ocean]

3000 series was Ampere, 2000 series was Turing, 1000 series was Pascal (I think)... etc

[icy finch]

Was 1600 series Turing as well?

Wait the 1650s and up was I thought but not 1650

Cause 1650 didn’t have to nvenc encoder

[lone depot]

Why would they?

that would be higher than anything they've done before

this "shortage" is purely demand

[hybrid inlet]

the demand may die down for a bit but it will eventually be even greater then is now

if the new plants can get up and running they just might be able to keep up with it

[lone depot]

no it won't

everybody will stop being no lifes

the only reason demand skyrocketed is because of quarantine

[hybrid inlet]

it may not present its self for a few years but the demand will happen again its only a matter of time

[lone depot]

its not gonna happen for another 10 years at least if you're talking about population growth

[hybrid inlet]

no not population growth just simply tech becoming more advanced and using it in more ways/ places

[lone depot]

9 million shipments per month currently

[lone depot]

??? and how would this affect gaming GPUs

nvidia would have an entirely different section for that kind of stuff

[hybrid inlet]

its not a matter of gpus its the silicon

[lone depot]

Of course the silicon is gonna have a higher production 🤦‍♂️

Its used in everything
