I actually need some cable extensions if I wanted to make my old build look nice, the non-modular cables are too short to go through the back of the case
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Too many infractions
Lmao
hm
Finally
Afaik yes, don't trust them
Good deal? Or decent
Considering you can get a Toshiba x300 8tb for like 90$ no
Check SSHD’s too
They went up in price nvm wack
Not really a thing anymore
Depends on if tou want high speed or high storage
Why not? Thought at least seagate was still making the firecudas
Since when lol? It’s like 100 for 4tb one lol
Swear it was less also i just said the price went up underneath lol
SSHDs don't make much sense nowadays @fiery stream
They exist, but they aren't a thing anymore in terms of usefulness
Geeze I just checked, prices ain’t good either
Fair
Amazon.com: Toshiba X300 4TB Performance & Gaming 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive - CMR SATA 6.0 GB/s 7200 RPM 128 MB Cache - HDWE140XZSTA: Computers & Accessories
5400 rpm 🤣
5400rpm doesn't really matter yaknow
If you're worried about speed get an ssd
Was aiming to get a 7200 and 4tb ssd for games is kinda pricey right now
I have a slower drives for documents and everything else, which that's basiclly for storage
Why tho?
I download my games and never really delete them, also I have a few beefy games
30mb download kinda keeps me in the line so I dont have to delete them
All the speed of the drive affects is loading times anyway and x300 is a good hdd
Model 0 or Model D? For minecraft gaming
also why is both the model o and model d overpriced in Newegg, going for 105$
when its supposed to be 50 $ I think
For Minecraft any mouse that fits your budget/hand size/build quality is good, you're probs looking at wireless model o/d the wired is 50$, if you want wireless get Logitech g305 or get Logitech g403 for wired imo
Can you butterfly click and double click and Stuff on the g403? I have a current one and it doesn't let me butterfly click or jitter click, it has something to do with de-bounce.
Also your talking about this one right?
Bruh it's a mouse and Logitech do some of the best switches I'm sure you can do whatever clicks on any mid range mouse
I'll delete after
Ye
hi
hey there
Even pcpartpicker history is saying that 8tb drive was never "90 bucks"
Nvm i was thinking of the 4tb
0 dollar hard drive 
anyone not getting this is a fool
Panasonic Toughbook CF-20, Intel m5-6Y57 @1.10GHz, 10.1'' Multi Touch, 8GB, 256GB SSD, WiFi, Bluetooth, Webcam, Rear Cam, Windows 10 Pro (Tablet + Keyboard) (Renewed): Amazon.ca: Computers & Tablets
sorry I'm not maple syrup enough for this
1.1 ghz
Well then I'm a fool. I'm also not in Canada.
The tough book line is usually aimed at construction workers and the like. You can drop one model I saw 20 feet onto solid concrete.
you all must be high, i just got 10, such a steal
very high resell value
free shipping too
There is a use for Toughbooks yeah but....limited scope and they're also renewed
It's cheaper to buy one expensive laptop that will take a beating than to replace a cheaper one 3 times
I used to deal with Toughbooks but we needed way better specs than that
They'd run about 3-4K each
wtf 
can you not get a really good case for a ipad or smt
and get wayyyyyy better specs
We needed image processing power
the ipad pro is not good enough?
Nope
wa
Try dropping your iPad off the second floor balcony and tell me it still works better
All I'm going to say is that any WiFi connection can be hacked, direct cable connection cannot. That's the kind of security we were running.
ok now this is getting crazy
Ethernet can be spliced and sniffed, physical connection needs physical security

It had physical security 😉
Ya, I had an interesting job

As in, walk out the wrong door of the building and get shot job. XD
😳
Very secure. It was serious business
Nah, not the CIA lol
LMAO!!
Oh dang man I’ll be getting clearance once I start my next project which is for the air force, can you tell me then?
🥺
You can only discuss classified (or higher) information in official settings where everyone has been verified. I don't think discord qualifies 😉
I am a Verified Actual Discord user 😤
Don’t make me leak the 3D model for an auto sear
Jk
Really need to get my boss to get us an FFL
I mean he could, and then lose his clearance for talking about it in unofficial/verified settings with other unverified people 
Yeah
I’d get kicked off the project, reprimanded and possible legal action depending on the severity of information leaked
Sounds like something a CIA person would say...
what
How
ryhmes
alibaba back at it again
Lmao
quite the deal

Can finally hear my enemies breathe
Hey that first gpu in the Newegg shuffle today how much is it worth does anyone know ?
To sell
Okay
Anyone know if Best Buy restocks this week?😂
xd
it's wholesale
they're probably selling a few thousand
5600x as low as $259.99 if you buy a eligible mobo with it
Ofc that's assuming you live near a microcenter
hello
Plus its in person
Whenever I get my own house, I will have to live near a micro center xD
new deals
do they come with a used car?
this is a resonable price
Ahh yes, what the msrp should have been in the first place
question whats better ryzen 5 5600x or the ryzen 7 3700x?
5600x for gaming 3700x wins in multi core but shouldn't be bought as 10700 kicks 3700x ass
I find it difficult to compare a 5k series to a 3k series. Even if the chips are a different tier.
Why lol it's a 1 gen difference?
Because logic usually dictates a generation as an improvement, though that's not always the case. But in the case of those chips, it's 5k hands-down.
not at all...
rather have a 3900x to a 5600x
If you're utilizing the cores, I can see that.
even if you arent the 3900x slaps the 5600x in most workloads except gaming...
the fact that 5000 better than 3000 chips regardless of tier is dumb
I did say that it isn't always the case.
wow 18,700 dollars
i can buy 2 cars with that
maybe 3
5600x v 3700x is a valid question, it's the fast cores vs more cores argument :p
I have a 5600x
Shuffle alert says it starts at 3:00am EST?
This shuffle is... full of... things. But not the things I'm looking for lol
what would be good memory for a nitro 5 laptop
16gb 3200mhz for general-purpose speed
i have CORSAIR VENGEANCE SODIMM 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2666 C18 Laptop Memory Kit in it right noe
mow*
That’s honestly not bad
If it runs what you want to run at a speed that you want, then I don’t see why you should upgrade
i know i can upgrade to 32gb of memory in the laptop
No need for 32GB on a laptop tbh
the laptop a gamming laptop with 3 drives in 2 ssd and 1 hd
You don’t need 32gb
32GB is for rendering workloads, 16GB is plenty for gaming even on a desktop.
ryzen 5600x at msrp
Amazon.com: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler: Computers & Accessories
lmao tag=unobtainium
11400 better value lmao
Any deals in India?
Gotta ask, what are these shuffles you guys talk about?
You basically enter a raffle for the right to buy high demand items. Gives everyone an even chance, theoretically.
https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle
Today was... weird
ah yes that kettle was VERY high demand
along with the food dehydrator
and also the food processor
Today was shuffle day
yes
No no no
No way that 3200mhz is gonna run on a nitro 5
It'll just be a waste of money for that thing lol
I'm guessing it'll run at a maximum of 2666
Limited by both processor and chipset I'm guessing
Unless it's one of the like brand new nitro 5's it ain't gonna work very well
Any good deals on mini-itx cases ?
I mean, NR200 is 90$ rn instead of 100$
Ty
any deals on 1440p 144hz monitors?
thanks
whoever put together that last shuffle needs to lay off the pipe
Well they thought they make it special bc of the NASDAQ listing

But it just made the majority of people confused and rightfully disappointed
I’m happy, won my first newegg shuffle!
Nice
It’s also the only one I entered; wanted that kettle.

Did you get what you wanted?
No I’m just kidding, i can’t even enter shuffles 😢 🇨🇦

I woke up, hit refresh, and thought I was at amazon this morning.. lol
has anyone won anything from todays shuffle?
Plenty of people I know won kettles
@quaint skiff I have a great deal I get a free pc its a win win

I’m tryna cop a pc but covid f*king everything up bro
Every good pc is like 2k bro smh
just use an abacus
Yeah I had to spend about 2k my pc
thoughts? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Frx6t8
That ssd is sata, get nvme. Buying guide is pinned in #storage-devices
Get 3600 CL16 memory, crucial is good and cheap
There's better AIOs for less money than the H100i, go for an EK-AIO, Lian Li Galahad, or Liquid Freezer II
im tryna go all icue
You could probably save some money on the mobo too but I didn't know if that was a style choice
Well if you're willing to pay the premium, Corsair stuff isn't bad
Still though, this memory is a fair bit better for less money
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2TFKHx/crucial-ballistix-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-bl2k8g36c16u4b
wifi
mainly
i think you should maybe reconsider
nowadays if you get like a decent motherboard by like asus
or gigabyte the rgb works great
yeah but im tryna get them all to sync
I've heard complaints about armoury crate btw
@nova geyser yeah ive seen it acting up
on some peoples computers
based on my experience though i have not noticed much
aura creator is also very nice
Hmm okay I've never used but just a warning about it lol
Just... when you're using 10% of your CPU doing nothing don't be surprised
i have armory crate and aura sync running
currently mining and also have like 15 tabs open for math studying
You must not have too many effects set up then
fans and motherboard
Some of those effects can take 2% CPU per zone
and psu
its taking 0% cpu
and what looks like about
10 mb of ram or so
in between aura creator and armory crate
ok more like 25mb
5600x
Ok
I'm talking about the effects like the audio sync where the lights change color and flash in time with the music/game noise/whatever
so the distance between my room and the wifi is quite a bit, and we have a speed of 150mbps, what ethernet type should I use?
I would say 200ft
Honestly cat5e is plenty if you're under 1gb
But if you can get cat6 cheaper go for it
Well isn't cat6 better at longer lengths than cat5e as well?
Technically speaking yes, the additional shielding helps reduce crosstalk at longer lengths
But at only 150 mb/s that won't matter
Fair enough
You can also run 100 meters of cat5e according to the spec
Ohh i thought it was like 50m mvm
Trying to find a Creality CR-10 MAX for work, was gonna go through Tiny Machines 3D so they could add all the accessories to it themselves, because I need it to run direct drive and high temp. If I bought the printer itself I would have to buy all the upgrades seperate and install myself and I just dont have tine for that at work. Are there any other companies that customize 3D printers?
where do i find tech support here?
In build chat or any of the specific channels related to your problem
Thank you
If you wanna run direct drive and high temp creality is not the company for the job.
There are a ton of specialty printers, but depending on your budget they might be a bit to much, the next thing I'd reccomend is looking at some of the qiditech printers, they're all enclosed to help with chamber heating and stop warping and some of them come with direct drive all metal high temp hot swappable extruders and with great quality at a pretty good price, the only thing is they're not open source so if they do happen to break parts might have a bit of a markup.
But buying something that already does what you need is going to be much better and easier then modding would be, even if you're not the one doing the mods.
What happened to my tech deals
We’re shooting for under $2k but going with the Smoothieboard 32bit, Bondtech direct drive upgrade, Mosquito hotend, bed heater upgrade, various other things. If I was gonna get what I wanted we would be ordering the Intamisys FunMat HT but that’s $7,500. I’ll check out quiditech though
Ok yeah none of their printers are the size I need
What size are you shooting for, ideally?
Just about 400 or so in x and y and 350 in the Z
400 cm? In inches that’s 33 ft
Wait that’s still like 12 feet for cm
400mm?
Mm
bruh
mm is the standard for sizing print beds
how does 400cm even convert to 33 feet lol
American units superior except for science (which I unfortunately have to do a lot of)
why would imperial units ever be better
they literally make no sense
why 12 feet in an inch when i could just move the freaking decimal
Based around real life and people, just like farenheit
Well we each prefer what we grew up with
A foot long foot is one heck of a foot
I personally kinda like Celsius. 20 is a nice temp, and then 15 is coolish, 25 is warmish, 10 is cold, 30 is hot, 0 is freezing, 40 is burning
I guess not technically burning, but uncomfortably hot for sure
No I’ve grown up with imperial and Fahrenheit and both are no.
Fahrenheit not as bad but
12 vs 10 like
What I really like about metric is the volumetric measurements
How many people can tell you right off the bat how many teaspoons are in a half tablespoon?
My mom and that is all
Cooking fun
I don't measure spices or ingredients for cooking, just eye ball
Baking is a different story for me
Everything has to be exact or I'll go nuts
Yup, for good reasons too
I have this great little measuring cup set. Smallest is graduated every 2.5ml, and the big on is 25ml or so, I forget
Reminded me to buy measuring cups too lol
Mine got stolen by my former roommate
Damn her
They were nice ones too
https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-4-Piece-Measuring-Beaker/dp/B008X5HRZU/ref=asc_df_B008X5HRZU/
My small ones are something like this
Amazon.com: OXO Good Grips 4-Piece Mini Measuring Beaker Set,Clear: Kitchen & Dining
Absolutely amazing little things, and nest together for storage too
(also not totally useless for mixed drinks)
LOL
Thanks for the link
Mine also nested together and were thiccc stainless steel ones with rubber handles

3 tsp to a tbsp
No I did not look it up, my wife is a pastry chef
Metric system just superior
The average person who doesn't have a food industry s/o could not tell you that XD
^^^
Luke I am your father
meh
Isn't it decent for a 1tb?
I mean I wouldn't use it as a boot if I didn't have to, but it'd work super great for other games and stuff
I'd just do mp33 or helix l
Sold out
that's how it usually goes, sells out in a few minutes
few min more like few seconds
^^
It was up for like 5 mins tbf
Yea
impressive
https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/ConfigureView?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&catEntryId=3074457345619965321&urlLangId=&quantity=1 3060ti / 11400 / 8gb ram / 256gb ssd $1172 (ships 6/24)
Why are they putting 8gb in a 3060 ti i5 11400 build :(
cuz ram cheaper to upgrade urself then through the oem
Yeah but default for that price should be 16gb :(
true
yo
Wow that psu is low wattage for that system
Also why is 16gb ram an extra hundred bucks wow
i would thank companies like Apple for that
It's just an oem thing they can charge whatever they want cus they can lol
What does apple have to do with that
Also since when did apple offer black cables lmao
idk, Apple is at the forefront of slightly screwing people over with each passing generation like getting rid of the aux port and not providing charging cables and wired earphones with new phones. their bottom line is more important to them than the increased cost to customers and the increased amount of packaging to ship those extra accessories. pretty soon they won't add a port for charging your phone and you'll have to use the more inefficient wireless charging dock that draws electricity even when it's not charging a device.
They provide the cable, not the adapter
Lmao and dell hasn't?
Apple is the pioneer
It's gotten worse since Covid and demand skyrocketed
me searching for lightning to headphone Jack dongle
Dell and a lot of other oems use proprietary stuff lol
Microsoft does have a very good proprietary charging connector tbh
That's fine it's bad when they use proprietary psus, weird case form factors and cpu coolers that's screwed into the case
Yeah
'S bad when they use OEM versions of gpus. The blower cards give me nightmares
Then again most non-OEM blower cards do as well, so...
The few blower cards I've used in the past were impossible to keep reasonably cool, especially the few OEMs I've used. I actually had one get damaged before because it wasn't designed very well and it just burned
my card stays ~80c under load
in a pretty restricted old HP Pavilion case
no intake fans
free on steam rn
Massive open-world game sale on Steam
😦
That was free on Origin a while back, don't know if it still is
this is the bad one. good one is Most Wanted 2005
2012 is a bit better
Graphics yes. Gameplay no.
yo any decent laptops for around 1000$ ?
not much for light gaming wathcing movies and programming
Hmm
I’d get an Acer Nitro 5 (10300H + 1650 or 10300H + 3050 is best around 800) along with some RAM and storage
Or a Lenovo Legion 5i
AMONG US IS FREE ON EPIC GAMES STORE RN, GO GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN

welp guess ill refund from steam
bruh
Good afternoon
afternoon
So, I understand now is probably the worst time to ask given our current geo-political-economic state in the world... But are there any good laptop deals currently?
Depends on budget and what you wanna do with it
I guess a good benchmark would be the ability to play COD:Warzone at 60fps on medium settings, 8gb of memory medium, and Intel or Ryzen work for me
Alright
I admit, those parameters may be a bit archaic
Anyone know any good 1440 p 144hz 27 in monitors for cheap ?
Budget?
Hopefully <$1000 USD, but my searches so far have not been promising
To be able to do warzone 60fps medium on that budget may be a bit difficult, I’ll throw a couple options at you
This one actually looks good specs for the price - https://www.walmart.com/ip/EVOO-Gaming-15-6-Laptop-FHD-120Hz-AMD-Ryzen-7-4800H-Processor-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-2060-THX-Spatial-Audio-512GB-SSD-16GB-RAM-RGB-Backlit-Keyboard-HD-Ca/233313280?irgwc=1&sourceid=imp_UqPxn4RIyxyLWA7wUx0Mo36cUkBzFqy8K0Ak180&veh=aff&wmlspartner=imp_2189989&clickid=UqPxn4RIyxyLWA7wUx0Mo36cUkBzFqy8K0Ak180&sharedid=&affiliates_ad_id=612734&campaign_id=9383
Sry for long link lol
Hmm the one I posted is a couple hundred bucks cheaper and basically same specs tho
4800H + 2060
Similar but the second link I posted has the 144hz ips screen and 16gb ram
Well also brand difference but yeah
I dont care about 144hz tbh, 120 or 60 is good for me
I'm currently @ 15.6 60fps 1080p, I'm content there
Yeah they're only shooting for 60fps
Aye
Mmmm, I prefer sites like CPU MOnkey that show benchmarks.
I know the 9750h gets HOT too
My desktop currently is a 2600x, both of these are an upgrade
So it's a bit arbitrary to me
It just compares specs with no regards to architecture differences lol
Only thing useful is the passmark score
Whats intels equivalent to the 5700h?
Aight thanks!
I don't think it is
That should be an i3
@umbral trellis 11800h looks to be right
Ahh okay thanks!
Considering the 5600h kicks all intels options nothing lol
Looks to be unreleased as of yet
Keep in mind passmark is slightly biased towards AMD over Intel
Hm I was just looking on ark
Strange... no benchmarks of that chip are available
No
No
More like sus
11800h? It's on passmark
Sounds normal
I bet next gen of Intel will have a 6 core max at the trend we're at
12900k costing like 1k USD will have 6 cores prolly lol
Lul
I saw the 11th gen 9 series at like 8 cores and I was like what
Cmon I thought they were getting better
Yeah it's kinda sad ngl
HA. THINGS GETTING BETTER 
14nm+++++++++++
Big performance increase guys
Speaking of, Among Us is free on Epic Games right now
That's already been said like 3x lol
I said it first
It's worth repeating 😛
You are being very sus
I'm not the imposter I swear. You vented, not me!
I was in admin 🙄
am trying this game rn, looks very cool should check it out
Oh yeah, I got it a bit back
The guy that created it is super cool
He was actually an active viewer in the chat of a streamer that I watch
In the credits he thanks “Lirik and his chat” or something
Yeah I have that on PS4 from when it came out, really well done horror game from the perspective of a small child.
@fiery stream They had to go back down to 8 cores because they were backporting technologies they had had planned for 10nm back to 14nm. In order to get that stuff to work, they didn't have space for the 2 more cores that the 10-series chips had.
I don't think it's a space issue btw considering the cores should be smaller/same size on 10nm as 14nm
Most likely a lot of gpu trackers do xbox too
Keyword "backport"
So it is still 14nm
So yeah, the die becomes too big
But they made 10 core 14nm already so?
No, the thing is, rocket lake is bigger than comet
So they can't fit that in, especially now that they have to also stuff the crippled xe in
Hmmm i see
They need lga 1700 so bad from now due to that reason, well not exactly but it's a correlation
Thoughts? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xMcg7X
Also on the Mobo desc, it says "Intel wifi", does it mean that it only supports intel cpu, I know a b550 dosent take intel but I don't understand that part. Im aiming to get a graphics card between like 800 bucks so it makes it 2k. (Build for a friend, she says shes gonna buy like late june).
Its a wifi card made by intel
Nothing else
Works with any cpu
Also bad cooler
And not great value cpu
also 500 bucks for gpu
I would get an intel 11th gen i5 instead of the 5600x
well she says she likes ryzen more
she hates intel for some reason
i would recommend an 11400/10700 and b56, 5600x is meh value, meh aio, get an arctic liquid ii or ek aio or lian li galahad, ram is meh get ballistix rgb 3600 instead, wack psu, get a phanteks amp or enermax revolution df or msi mpg
Check Matt Swider @slim saffronswider on Twitter for console stock updates although I don't think he sends direct updates to you. I know there are more but I don't know their tags.
Wrong Matt lol
WHAT A STEAL!
i already bought it, it was such a good steal
Are they drunk
Potentially
Quick question, will the 5950x get down to 450 USD in 12 months time? How does the price usually evolve in normal times?
It may go down with the next chipset release but not to $450
Possibly if you find one used but not that low, that's 5800x price
Mb down to 550 600
Thanks, I don't want a used one. That means I will make an extra effort and return the 5900x and cough the money now.
Worst possible time financially 😄
Btw 5900x is better at gaming
So keep that in mind
Get a cheaper chip?
I have seen that, and I don't understand why :))
I mean I don't understand why they made it like that 😛
They needed to decrease the clocks etc to fit 16 cores and not have it run and melt XD
It's still a few days until the 5900 will arrive, so I will have time to thing.
k
think
Imo i wouldn't
Well, given my initial budget I shouldn't :))
Please don't tell me that 5800 is also better than 5900 at gaming :))
nope
5900x better
Good :))
More cores and also lower clocks than the 5900x
yeup
Better than no deal

Any recommendation on a pre built pc on Amazon under 800? I need it just to stream for now and maybe play rocket league on it
What would you recommend?
@warm heart there aren't many good ones right now, honestly. https://www.newegg.com/tempest-blue/p/3D5-0019-00001?Item=9SIADGYB5P8662&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIADGYB5P8662-_-05302021
Thank you! I was just looking at the nitro too
Of course! Computers are in such a rough place right now 😔
Tbh this isn't that bad. I don't think the price of this prebuilt has changed since the pandemic. It at least looks reasonable now in comparison to lots of others imo https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-omen-30l-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-5-series-3600-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1660-super-1tb-hdd-256gb-ssd-black/6402513.p?skuId=6402513
Which HP?
omen 30L
that one's pretty decent for an oem machine
the nitro n50 chokes the psu
I too would like 30 litres of decent omens
There's this one where you can custom make the HP. The prices aren't actually too bad. You can upgrade to a 1660 super. Though, the CPU is a Ryzen 3 5300g at base price. https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-pavilion-gaming-desktop-tg01-2170m-pc-3v2z3av-1?jumpid=cs_con_nc_ns&utm_medium=cs&utm_source=ga&utm_campaign=HP-Store_US_UNBR_PS_CPS_Hgm_AMD_Google_MO_PLA&utm_content=sp&adid=504254805763&addisttype=gpla_with_promotion&3V2Z3AV_1&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=12495483982&cq_con=121848749471&cq_term=&cq_med=pla_with_promotion&cq_plac=&cq_net=g&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gp&gclid=Cj0KCQjw78yFBhCZARIsAOxgSx1dR90xUbPL2Ddq_wx8Sl37PMrlQAyznt0yLVkO4bmvdYSSkVWwyRAaAmkjEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Sorry, what does tg01 mean?
the model name
I realized as soon as I asked lol
haha no fuss
i almost picked that one up myself
but i decided to wait
i got an asus strix ga15
Under 800 is a rough spot for gaming PCs, especially right now. Feel like most if not all of them are a ripoff
ye
you look like a big flopp
I was lucky to get a 1070 on craigslist for 200 before everything inflated to the moon
however this asus i got is not too bad, it's similar to those
My friend has the 30L and she loves it


I mean not that good of a deal imo
Tbf bout the price of a 3090 on eBay XD
Yeah but who buys a 3090 on eBay lol
yeahh
i mean
3080 ti
has been listed for
2600 usd
so honestly even non scalper prices
wym 3080ti
Thoughts on selling my 1070 (barely used) since they're going for quite a bit right now and just waiting until I'm able to get a new gpu?
no
cuz you wont get a replacement for a while
and then you'll be stuck with nothing
While fair, I do have a laptop that I use for any computer necessary things. It'd be annoying but I'd be fine not playing games for a while. My main concern would be if I could get enough to make it worth it.
Also being part of the problem of people selling gpus for too much 💀 it's just really tempting
yeah, but its not released yet
the prices have already been announced
you definitely would
you can get a looot of money
oooh.... 1600 dollars really? thats insane
wtf
Yep. Ridiculous.
Definitely could. I'll think about it, leaning towards yes.
yeah main thing is just getting a gpu afterwards haha
you could probably sell the 1070 for like 350+
Agreed. I bought it new for 200 before everything went to hell
Could get enough to buy a 3060ti at MSRP, assuming they ever get that low again lol
They do, less than a week ago they sold the FE on best buy for 400 USD, which is msrp
Wasnt in stock for very long but long enough for most ppl to snag
And if you plan on selling ur 1070 I'd buy a 3060ti first if financially possible, that way you aren't stuck without a gpu indefinitely
If I'm gonna be honest, I'd rather be without a gpu than spend 3x MSRP for a 3060ti
It wouldn't be worth it to me, personally.
yeah but bb has drops somewhat often where you can find a 3060ti for msrp
I've been checking for a while and haven't caught it yet, but I have heard that. It would definitely be nice to catch a drop.
These are associate links, right? Not allowed here......
Wait! They aren't! I'm not even an associate.
I just copy the links.
They were associate links
Like, I click the share thing and then it just sends the long text.
That's an associate link?
6502503-20 is the store ID
I don't even know how to get the associate link.
Normal Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/New-Apple-Watch-GPS-40mm-Aluminum/dp/B08J5RBMRN
Amazon.com: New Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS, 40mm) - (Product) RED - Aluminum Case with (Product) RED - Sport Band
The store?
Appreciate it 🙂
Thank you for being understanding.
Reason: Bad word usage
no lol
I mean you probably wanna try and get it at MSRP anyways so, dunno what the MSRP is gonna be
Still, 3080ti and 3050ti are the bigger releases anyways so a 3070ti wouldn’t be insanely hard to get, just difficult
that may be true, ive seen a lot of aib cards at least on the 3080ti go insanely high
Anyone able to recommend a decent budget Cpu/MB combo for gaming? (Looking for around 300-500$)
11400f and b560
@swift kelp no selling allowed
10-4
Nah 11400 non f because igpu is worth the extra 10/15 and quicksync and gpu situation hard also no harm for troubleshooting
tru
Sort of, we're expecting based on the 3080 ti models being as expensive as scalped 3090s that it's not going to be good. We do know that it's barely better than a regular 3070, maybe 4% going by specs.
dont they already exist? what vega are they using
No they're not out yet, just officially announced.
ah
5600g will have 7 vega cores, 5700g 8 vega cores
wait doesnt 3400g have 11
It's the same vega as 4000
5600g shouldve been cheaper
shouldve been like 210
literally take away the entire market
wait
theres a 5300g
huh
but its oem only
Yeah, the recent announcement was just the 5600g and 5700g
For now
Pog
August 5th, sorry
Supply being what it is I'm not surprised by the moving timetables
oh ok
You'll be able to get them from grey market dealers anyway. Same as 4000 series.
You just don't get a nice box
They need to make some money lol
It is tho, they keep selling out their cpus XD
Also 5600x does beat the 11400 tbf
In benchmarks its at par with a 11600 from what I remember
it does
i am happy with my 5600x objectively
but the 11400 wouldve saved me some pain lol
got my 5600x in december and got gpu in march
lol
F
Lmao
@robeytech: So these don’t appear to be right. The prices we are seeing now (embargo lifted this morning) are actually closer to $1339.99 USD MSRP for partner cards like the EVGA 3080Ti FTW3 (that price I got direct from EVGA). https://twitter.com/techdeals_16/status/1398702660027625473
So I was correct and Tom’s was full of poop
So expensive...
Wow what a bargain
So basically US prices would be 1k off of those i bet
Battlefield 4 for free with Prime gaming
That really isnt surprising. Those prices are more then the average 3090 prices and AIBs wont price a modern lower tier card more then a modern higher tier one at the very least.

I need to check out prime now
Just need to link your Amazon account since they own Twitch now
prime gaming isnt a thing where I live yet
Lol wassup fake dhar mann
smh

What does MSRP mean?
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
Suggested to who?
retailers and distributors for the most part
are retailers allowed to price higher than this suggestion?
so it's not a law or regulation of any sort?
No
How does the retailer make money?
MSRP also depends on the company
Bulk ordering at cheaper prices
Why are manufacturers marketing "MSRP" pricing directly to consumers?
Basically, MSRP is what price consumers should see
For example, MSRP for a say EVGA 3060 XC is 400$, but the MSRP for an MSI 3060 Gaming X might be 500$
That MSRP is set by the AIB partners, EVGA and MSI in this case
But the MSRP set by NVidia doesn't really amount to anything in aib pricing
But "MSRP" is information privy only to the retailer is it not?
Mostly, yes, but the one MSRP figure we for sure get is what NVidia sets
For example, 330$ for 3060, 400$ for 3060ti, 500$ for 3070, etc.
The term is just used, generally, to refer to that NVidia figure
So if the consumer has information about MSRP that was privy to the retailer only then how does the retailer ensure they can have sufficient margin, given everyone knows the price is fixed.
Side note on msrp vs what retailer pays, here's an example Intel's slide with their 1k unit pricing
https://specials-images.forbesimg.com/imageserve/5ec4f281da488900062925bc/960x0.jpg?fit=scale
if the distributor knows the price fix before sale they can just raise the price
For AIB cards, the process is
NVidia -> AIB -> Retailer
We have the piece of the puzzle for what NVidia says, we don't for AIB
And what do you mean the price fix..?
If the consumers know the MSRP beforehand then wouldn't that cause a bear market for retailers?
Other retailers can't really just raise the price above the msrp without people noticing, after all, there's multiple retailers that are competing, it's in their interest to sell at MSRP given by aib partners.
Why would it?
aib partners don't sell direct to retailers
there is always a distributor
usually a distributor also has a profit motive
so the price never gets lower
only the margin gets smaller
Afaik they sell directly to retailers, that's why some aib partners have their own shops, and the whole thing retailers do is sit on thin margins.
I'm still not sure what you're trying to say
If consumers know aib msrp, retailers lose money..?
But if manufacturers didn't publish msrp to customers then retailers could just set their own prices and margins, couldn't they?
But they're in competition with other retailers, and most of them have their own stores with their pricing on it.
but if everyone sells at the same price, msrp, then what differentiates one store from another?
If there was only 1 retailer in the world, and consumers don't have any idea what msrp is, sure they can just raise the price to hell, but that's not the case.
Preference, mainly, sales at times, and features.
Ask yourself, if you can get a 3070 at 700$ at Amazon or Newegg, is there any real difference?
I'm of the opinion manufacturers shouldn't be marketing direct to consumers the pricing that is privy to retailers only
??
Aib msrp pricing is mostly kept secret, you only really guess by the price they list on their store
at the moment there is really only 1 realistic computer store on the planet and that's newegg, with amazon a close second. Independent shops have zero chance of profit.
consolidations have happened in this sector and not in the benefit of smaller players
Sadly, but brick and mortar stores like Microcenter can cut their margins even thinner to attract customers.
Or, more often, people are willing to pay more at local stores to get parts quickly then wait for shipping.
microcentre can't ship out
In terms of online stores, yea, independent shops can't really get anywhere
I know they are willing to pay more. I offered someone $50 in free cash to wait for mail order and he declined a Lian Li snow edition case.
Ecommerce is mostly dominated by giants, it's a saturated market, it is what it is.
Newegg can't even compete with Amazon overall, they can't afford a logistics system anywhere near Amazon's

Hey guys anyone knows a cheap capture card for ps4 n good for streaming besides expensive elgato? Pls let me know!
Pretty much any external capture card off Amazon or something will do
Or internal if you want to stream because it needs to go into a pc afaik
PC is my long term goal... So is external still good for streaming tho?
Rayzen 5 5600x rtx 3060 for 1500dollars is it good build
no
Afaik no but mb do some research yourself
Okay thank you
I’m getting a 3060 in a prebuilt that’s 919
Sounds like a scam mate, send link?
Or dell
Nah dell are doing a 1660 at that price iirc
I m gonna get rtx 2080super and i9 9900k for 1150 dollars better from rtx 3060 and rayzen 5 3600
In what world is that not a scam lol
Unless you know them personally
So this is scamm
Have you seen eBay prices for a 2080 super?
see the scam yet?
The gpu is nearly the entire price
There's no logical way you could fit a 9900k along with everything else under 100 bucks
Anybody know of a relatively high quality, curved, QHD, VESA-standardized 24in monitor? Pickings seem slim across all sites 😛
yeah so
curved 24in is pretty rare
is it just cause it's not wide enough to merit curvature?
pretty much
curved begins to become more prevalent once you get past 27 iirc
stylistically it would go so well with the setup I want
ah
yah I ABSOLUTELY understand the benefit with an ultrawide screen
I have a stacked component of my setup where I want to put a 24in on top of a 27 in curved
and I intuitively feel as though a flat 24 on top of a curved 27 seems goofy
that is true
but maybe I just need to buy one and see if reality matches intuition?
idk honestly
yah I'll keep browsing. I'm sure there's something out there for less than $200 😛
Are pretty much only options for curved 24" under 200
ahhhh I haven't used PC part picker before! Thank you so much for the site Sr. Pato @nova geyser
😄 ❤️
You're all amazing.
but are they good?
noooope
dream of it
it's rare good ones are lower than 200
it would be useless to use em at 144hz cause of latency lol
yooo get this rnnnnn code - EMCEXET49 brings it down to 129.99

only another hour before its gone
Seems to have pretty bad ghosting, but otherwise is ok for the price
yeah not horrible for the price ngl
G242 and G241 are good for their price
^
I mean, I got this thing for only 190 and it's actually really good.
I forgot to send this deal to the server.
i didn't say all 144hz monitors below 200 are bad tho
I got mines on Black Friday
however that's a good deal
This was unfortunately a deal, not the normal price.
1ms 32” curved 1080p 165hz for 159
nice
model>cost
Ya know, that is the first ever monitor I ever bought
Great deal and choice
Your pfp is cute.
I don't really mind a TN, but VA at least would be amazing for me
You're fursona is also cool, Foxy.
200 is not bad
Still amazing drawing.
mhm
32" is quite large for 1080p tho :/
Okay fair enough
Ya know how some monitors have image burns, does that happen to that monitor?
I’ve had it since November and no
That's an oled thing, that's why there's hardly ever oled monitors
I see.
And that's not an oled so there should be no burn in unless you got a faulty model or something
Yeah, it's LCD.
You can’t see individual pixels either if you sit the normal amount away.
It’s a VA panel
200 bucks is not a bad deal for all that you get.
But I paid less so I feel like it was more than worth it.
