Anything better than ventus

high radish
#

Ventus is big no hmm

#

One of worse looking and worse quality gpu hmm

grand orbit
#

so does my friend its good

#

ventus bottom tier

high radish
lean briar
#

Is the new lancool 3 meta

#

That case and strix gpu

grand orbit
#

strix gpu is a waste of money usually

#

lancool 3 hasnt released yet afaikl

high radish
#

Strix is best perfection

lean briar
#

I think its good

high radish
#

Strix gang perfection

#

I wish I could get 2nd Gundam Monitor hmm

flat junco
#

Desk smells like a pumpkin latte βœ…

lean briar
#

White or blck builds?

jolly inlet
#

I'm anti RGB in general, blacked out looks best to me

high radish
#

I'm not fan of circling lights all around but white with some light color looks amazing perfection

high radish
#

I mean I don't paying attention aesthetics on my own gaming build but I do pay attention on my working PC couse it's in my workplace and it must be beautiful couse I'm fashion designer lol KEKW

slow sluice
#

Fashion design needs that much cuda?

high radish
#

Mostly not actually lol but have to 3d modelling things and it's heavy hmm

#

Also doing few things parallel so pc being under load enough

#

Better PC = faster work = more finished work in day = more pay lmao KEKW

light holly
#

yall be makin it really hard to not buy a 3080

light holly
#

I think I saw someone mentioning TUF being a better model?

#

But, I know the Trio is popular

fleet marlin
#

Suprim is more like Strix level, I wouldn't say gaming z/X is.

grand orbit
#

Gaming x/z trio is strix level

light holly
#

I meant Zotac. The Trio is OOS

#

Where?

jolly inlet
#

Zotac "forgot" to put thermal pads on some model 3080s lol

light holly
#

I see.

light holly
jolly inlet
#

That white strix went oos

#

It's only third party scalpers over $1100 now

light holly
#

ah ok

#

IDK if worth mentioning but it seems buying the TUF 3080 12gb also comes with Ghostwire: Tokyo/Doom: Eternal/Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part One & Part Two

slow sluice
light holly
#

I'll probably just wait til 50 series now.

jolly inlet
#

Getting a high end GPU now we're probably fine for a good while unless you upgrade to 4k high refresh later

jolly inlet
#

Tax deduction if not

high radish
#

I were looking for white strix 3080 actually but it was unicorn back in last year hmm

#

ended up buying white strix 3090 perfection

normal tiger
#

If these were $20 dollars apart, should I get the 3070ti ($20 higher)?

fleet marlin
#

For me I'd probably take the MSI, but actually sort of a tough decision even if we count putting a nice undervolt on the 70 ti to counter it's higher wattage, partly from the gddr6x

slow sluice
#

I'd also go with the msi

normal tiger
#

Ah I see, yeah I'm not familiar with the quality of the types of gpu's

#

okay great, ty all

grand orbit
normal tiger
#

Yeah at this rate, I should keep waiting, was really ready to buy the msi one tbh

grand orbit
#

You in the us?

jolly inlet
#

If you decide to wait at this point you're looking at a December-ish launch for 40 series. AMD 7000 series should be out before that, around September-October.

normal tiger
#

Yeah I’m in the US, and alright for sure

fleet marlin
#

Nvidia wants to hold back 40 series, but I figure 7000 series will influence that. Pepe_KEK

normal tiger
#

cant wait xD

steel wren
#

most likely

#

october will be a month filled with tech, what a time to be alive πŸ˜„

light bay
#

I'll watch this when I go to sleep... Literally

jolly inlet
#

They're definitely not videos to watch before bed if you're actually interested in the content, but great sleep aids

azure pond
#

@silent rampart they've been $800 consistently recently

prisma rover
#

Me again for the last time lol!
Iam getting me this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125058259597?epid=4051542538&hash=item1d1e0d9a8d:g:pxcAAOSwis1hwW4V
But I need (want) to upgrade my RAM.

It seems this would work but I wonder if I "could do better" for the same price or up to like 150-200$ And would the difference be notifcable??

stoic crest
#

That kit will do just fine

prisma rover
#

Dang. I suppose it doesnt mean 16gb per slot?:D

fleet marlin
#

I really doubt this new of a laptop would be limited to 16GB (total).

prisma rover
#

Is there a way to confirm when the notebook will arrive? πŸ˜„ I still like it, I feel that 16gb would be good either way

jolly inlet
#

16gb is still plenty unless you're doing really intense games or keep 50 browser tabs open at all times

#

I'm starting to feel the need for 32gb personally. That'll probably be my last upgrade on this platform.

stoic crest
#

^

#

all legions supports 32 gigs, it's just some confusion happening

grave delta
#

Dual rank gives reasonable gaming performance benefit as well

#

2x16 b-die for $200 in a $3k gaming setup makes sense

#

No reason to cheap out on rev.e or worse

fleet marlin
#

Talking about a $1400 laptop then Forks pops in: B-DIE B-DIE. kekw

grave delta
#

No excuses

prisma rover

That is the price yes

lean briar

Damn

#

Nice price

normal tiger
grand orbit
rugged notch
#

will the 7000 series run cyber punk with 240 fps max setting ultra 4k

molten halo
jolly inlet
#

I don't think the game itself can do that with how broken the engine is

real reef
#

but thats 10gb

jolly inlet
#

What are you doing that needs 12gb? 4k gaming doesn't even use all that

swift forge
#

@jolly inlet they had a 3080 ftw 3 for 650 bstock like a week ago

jolly inlet
#

That's B stock though, less warranty support

#

You only get like 90 days instead of 3-5 years

swift forge
#

That cards cooler tho has a power problem

#

It’s low

#

Like the tdp is really low

light bay
#

Tdp doesn't really matter

#

Especially when people like to measure it differently

jolly inlet
#

It's still a 3080 either way

light bay
#

Say what?

azure pond
#

It's more similar to the ti than the 10gb

jolly inlet
#

Which is still only a 2% difference

azure pond
#

But there are $800 12gb in stock rn

azure pond
#

It's like 10% between 10gb and 12gb

jolly inlet
#

Where tf are you seeing 10% when the ti is only like 5% over the 10gb

swift forge
azure pond
#

I don't feel like cropping rn, but ig it's around 5% difference between 3080 10gb and 12gb, possible more at 4k

swift forge
#

For overclocking

light bay
azure pond
#

That's the ti, since passmark doesn't have the 12gb

light bay
#

@jolly inlet confirm?

jolly inlet
#

Yeah TUF cooler is good

light bay
#

PCB good too right?

jolly inlet
#

Average

light bay
#

Good nuff

swift forge
#

It limits the cards

#

Power

jolly inlet
#

You can cross flash bios

swift forge
#

Yea some people did that with the card

#

And it performed better

jolly inlet
#

It's not hard and not super risky

jolly inlet
#

A whole 4 fps on 4k ultra

#

Or 2 depending on the game

swift forge
#

I doubt anyone is gonna notice 4fps

slow sluice
jolly inlet
#

With 10gb being $750 and the 12gb being $800 that's 7% more money for about 4% more performance overall that no one will notice

Idk why I didn't just post the pic in the first place.

grand orbit

So like you might loose one of your hdmis or something

light holly
#

Hm.

#

Well, good thing I have igpu for my sensor panel then

lean briar
grand orbit
#

And to add to your point, the 3080 12gb is about 5% better

light holly
grand orbit
#

Tuf is a nice model yeah

brisk sphinx
#

Is there a point to flashing a new BIOS on my FTW3 ultra 3080 12gb?

stoic crest

not really

unless you wanna oc more

molten halo

Keeeebbbbb

azure pond
#

Isn't z12 kinda mid?

light bay
#

Me and fal have one, I think rommy does too

#

It's a alright membrane keeb

#

Nothing super crazy about it, altho it does have some macros which is nice

fair moon
#

I got one as part of a bundle, it is membrane but honestly feels pretty decent

#

I still use my Z20 though

#

What'd you do to it?

light holly
fair moon
#

Is the difference just the light bars?

#

Or is it the audio controls as well

grand orbit

And it's a mech 🀒

under MSRP tho

That doesn't mean much tbh.

@grave delta smh < > your link

grave delta
#

what if i want to flex my embed perms

steel wren
#

that card is... kinda strange, is good looking, good price, but the fan blockade... kinda... weird

jolly inlet
#

Performance is average at least, not like the ventus

stoic crest
#

hey at least it cools better than ventus

#

and cheaper

slow sluice
#

Fan blockage doesn't look like it would actually block that much

stoic crest
#

It resembles evga design ngl

steel wren
#

poor ventus, those cards ended as a meme

light bay
#

3x ampere was good enough

#

but yeah 2x was pretty bad

jolly inlet
#

3x with G6X is bad too, so 3070 ti and up

light holly
#

@dull flame I'm very skeptical of a $100 s22 Ultra lol

pulsar fable
#

That ain't no s22 ultra I've ever seen

vague pine
#

wonder if yeston gpu's will keep going down because of promos because there was another model that was like $750 right?

normal tiger
#

are returns allowed on newegg for sketchy stuff like that lol

gusty willow
#

damn all these 3080 and 3080ti deals making me sad because im broke

vague pine
#

dont remember policy on third party stuff but i mean, its yeston. theyre an actual company just that not really known here in US vs asia

#

like galax

#

dont really see galax here in the US

normal tiger
#

ohh for sure, but i was referring to the s22 haha

vague pine
#

probably not if its sketch and third party seller that isnt verified

normal tiger
#

sadge

vague pine
#

bottom of page says theres a return policy but thats covered by that seller and not wegg

fair moon
#

$100? They gonna send you an S22

jolly inlet
#

Yeah you buy it and they change the listing later to say S12 or something lol

light holly
#

@fleet marlin do you have to be a BestBuy premium member (or whatever it is) to buy the gpu?

fleet marlin
light holly
#

Just so I don't feel so bad about missing out on this deal.. how does a 6900xt compare to a 3080 12gb? I know the gpu list, but I'm assuming the 3080 on the list is a 10gb.

grand orbit
#

6900xt beats it by like 5%

#

In non RT/rendering

fleet marlin
#

yep. Note this review is from early 2021 and amd drivers often get better as they mature. yellow pic just to show how the non-xtxh gaming X compares.
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/msi-rx-6900-xt-gaming-z-trio.b8836
--We know the 12GB 3080 is a decent bit better than it's 10GB bro, but at $800ish this 6900 is currently a pretty solid buy I figure. A quick mention for the TUF 12GB 3080 being $750 I think, but that isn't a common price yet.

#

Can I return bstock? I would have to pay shipping costs though right? And there'd be a restocking fee?

grand orbit
#

No idea

light holly
#

I also have a UPS claim atm because they delivered it to not my address. I'm just super lucky that the person who it got delivered to sought out my address to give it to me.

grand orbit
#

That is lucky

prisma cosmos
light holly
#

Ok yeah costs 15% restocking fee and shipping. I'll just hold onto it. Gonna call UPS about the claim today since it's been 7 days with no update.

#

That 15% itself is $50. Shipping is at least another $20. Feel like I could get more out of it by selling it.

light holly
#

Looks like HWS is saying a used 2070 super ventus is a fair price for $330.

fair moon
#

Looks like 400 is mostly FE cards

light holly
fair moon
#

Yeah probably

#

Keep in mind that ebay takes a cut

light holly
#

Right. I've never used ebay. I was thinking of HWS

fair moon
#

Selling directly with PayPal is better but still some fees I think

light holly
#

Yeah I believe g&s is like.. 5%?

fair moon
#

Somewhere around that

#

350 shipped seems like a good starting point, can always drop the price a little if needed

#

Might be harder to sell now that new GPUs are in stock at reasonable prices but worth a shot

light holly
#

Thanks man. I'll check it out when I get home.

light holly

Oh nvm then.

#

Idk what bios to put on it then tbh

fleet marlin
#

For me the 2x8 is almost a pro. 375w general limit is still 50% higher than my 1080 ever hit. The $50 doesn't hurt either(plus I'll UV anyways, make 3x8 less of a big deal). I just feel soon enough the Strix will be below $800 also. Kekw No way I'm jumping the gun. -- need a new psu for these anyways, is the main thing. kekpepecry

TUF was a 12GB model. Obviously is just such a good deal currently and limited stock at asus.com it went oos quick. Of course ventus is an ez no, regardless of price almost. kekleo

The strix in tech deals is also the 12gb model

I beg your pardon?

Aww

Also I'm pretty sure it's usually like 80$ anyway

90 iirc

oh i wouldnt buy it at $70 either

but for the people that want the h510 for the look

like the one dude yesterday

#

wouldnt hear us out on any other case

grand orbit
#

It's usually around 85$ just checked

clever fox
#

Heya

#

Is this worth 2600?

#

Thanks πŸ™

azure pond
#

not really, considering you can buy parts of better performance/quality for $1600, and pay someone to build it for under $200

#

if you wont build yourself

clever fox

Can you do a ryzen 9 build?

12700f has the same perf as the 5900x and costs less

clever fox
#

I see

fair moon
#

iirc 5900x has a bit better multicore perf but if you're primarily gaming the 12700 has a decent boost to single core

And is cheaper

The 4TB firecuda 530 for $350 is what I keep trying to snag, but don't need it.

cloud hornet
#

Yeah, I was still questioning whether I should get the 8TB QVO cuz I didnt really need it. But trying to buy a $450 8TB meh SATA SSD when I do "need" it, that'd be not fun. Might as well splurge now and use it for 10yrs

Minus a 100 bucks

Idk, Nvidia tax for NVENC, better RT cores, and Tensor cores seems reasonable. But might not be reasonable for all tho

#

Open box strix 3080 now $40 off, lol. As if 5% off would make that worth it. I think not. -- top 30 series dropping was just a matter of time. -- yea, gotta clear way for 40 series, and 3090 (ti) sales just slowed way down too probably. --- strix 3070 for $550ish, then we're talkin.

3090 for 800 on hws??

#

Time to SLI leokek

jolly inlet
#

2080 ti dropped in value hard before the 30 series launch because Nvidia was saying the 3060 ti was supposed to beat it. I saw below $400 easy and as low as $250.

cloud hornet
#

Demon bought a cheap one back then, wasnt it like $350 or smth?

#

$2000 for a 2080Ti lets go

Plus mining. Hopefully that crap stays dead so gamers can enjoy decent pricing for a change. --- idk, doubt prices are gonna jump crazy anytime soon. If so, will be ready to break even on my 1080.

cloud hornet
#

Pretty sad special 2080Ti wasnt 3080Ti/3090

Covid hit shortly after the 30 launch so yeah, some people bought 2080 ti for $300 and resold for $1200. It was insane and I'm glad we're past that.

Get MP33

Ngl I don't know much about ssds. But doesn't the mp33 have like a third of the speed?

stoic crest

Nah

Sequential speed doesn't matter much

tiny heron

Is it one of those things where I'd never actually use the speed of the higher rated one. Or is it just a matter of quality

In real use cases for most people

if you want to order it and cancel that one

Yeah, I'm assuming someone sat on it

azure pond

lol

#

if it doesnt work, theres the warranty

flat junco

Ordered it, but too late to cancel the first

So customer support just told me to start an RMA and return it, I'd just have to pay shipping

ah

nice

Thanks for finding that though, hopefully I don't get screwed over with two GPU's lol

I need to find an extra 8-pin cable first though

best idea ever

(ps, no one do this)

EPS adapter would probably be the better bet lol

850 gt is $50 on b stock too :p

As long as your psu is decent the daisy chain is fine no?

#

Like the split cables

grand orbit
#

Who cares it's a 3080 12gb kinda new for 420$ with 1 year warranty from trusted retailer, they could completely removed the shroud and just had the fans on the heatsink for all i care x)

slow sluice

Daisy chain can work, not ideal tho

slow sluice

Just don't OC with it

steel wren

already gone

#

someone lucky bought that 3080 at 400 bucks

azure pond
#

id def check the temps on it first lol

grand orbit
#

With the daisy chaining one cable you're still rated for 375w and tbh 8 pin cables can do more than 150w these days so like 400w should he fine

flat junco
#

Yeah, I have a modular psu, but the thing is, you can never find the cables when you actually need them

azure pond
#

yeah... im missing most of the ones for my rmx lol

Strix perfection

Expensive

Honestly I just settled with a 6600xt cuz it was cheap, and I only go up to 1440p anyways with low end games

grand orbit

Stop asking if you don't take suggestions pleasemushhyper

azure pond
#

1440p on a 6600xt does not sound fun

normal tiger

Would have loved a 3060ti, but I’ve yet to snag a good deal on that one

grand orbit
#

6700xts are around 425 rn

normal tiger
#

Those are supposedly a bit better than 3060tis right?

azure pond
#

imo, not worth going from a 6600xt to a 6700xt

normal tiger

Yeah true

#

I have 2 gaming pcs, one has a 960 which I also want to upgrade

high radish

6600xt on 2k RT giving 1fps KEKW

Yeah rip, I don’t plan on turning that on, would be nice but with the games I play, no need for it

Im probably gonna get that 560$ 3070

#

You can get decent performance with RSR and fsr. But can make it a bit washed out in some games

fair moon

At $425 it's a very solid buy

normal tiger
silent rampart
#

where are the 6700xt at 425?

high radish

Actually I see on test videos 3060 does 50-60fps on most games at 2k RT on with some dlss

fair moon
silent rampart
#

ah

normal tiger
normal tiger
#

Ohh thought you meant on b-stock

high radish
#

And it literally giving under 10fps with 2k RT on lol

fair moon
high radish
#

While 3060 mostly giving over 30fps

azure pond
#

my 3060 ti drops to 60 fps or under from over 100 in most games, with just rtx on low

#

at 1080p

#

rtx is terrible

high radish
#

At 2k RT is great

normal tiger
azure pond
#

makes sense

high radish
#

Without RT I feel like playing at low settings hmm

fair moon
azure pond
#

with rtx i feel like im playing on my old 1030 pc

#

i dont even visibly see a difference in most games with rtx on

fair moon
azure pond
#

its just a gimmick and a marketing strategy at this point

#

hell, even intel gpus are going to have rtx cores

fair moon
#

I'm interested to see UE5 games come out utilizing Lumen

(Actually more hyped for Nanite but lumen was more related to the conversation)

Raw parts though is interesting

high radish

As well as most of prebuilds loo

Wonder how much the value of the non-brand parts would be worth on that

jolly inlet

There's been a few they were comfortable recommending, like ABS. "Not bad by comparison" lol

loud sandal
#

I didn't know it had 3080 ti and i7 in it I thought was good

cinder kiln

I feel like those two and the ram would be worth close to 1300 on their own

if you can move parts to another case maybe it's alright idk

They all same price but different version

Why not 3060 lol

That strix* 3080 12gb one they had at a fairly normal price would've been worth it

Not the 3090's

Ordered that strix 3080 12gb for 799

I just need card to run fornite and gta 5

it should arrive tomorrow

No

high radish
#

I love aorus screen but it's gone to rma 2 times already lol

loud sandal
#

Why

high radish
#

I couldn't play game normally for last month couse that gigatrash

#

Black screening

loud sandal
#

Just bc gigabyte made the card doesn't mean it's there fault

#

Your computer could have black screen for many reasons

#

Like a fedex driver throwing your gpu across the yard into your pouch

#

Your blaming a company for something out of there control

high radish
#

I RMAd it and I see repair on 2 of vrams

#

They replaced 2 vrams hmm

#

Which is in same channel

#

But it still does black screening when I OC it

loud sandal
#

Bruh

#

That's bc your OC unstable

high radish
#

Probably another dead gpu as first one

loud sandal
#

Some cards don't OC well

high radish
#

it's aorus hmm

loud sandal
#

It's just silicon lottery

cinder kiln
loud sandal
#

Ask sips

high radish
loud sandal
#

@steel sapphire ayo OCing is a silicon lottery righr just bc a company made the card doesn't mean it can habe good OC right it can be good or bad bc silicon

high radish
cinder kiln
#

Did it work fine without oc?

loud sandal
high radish
#

it was failing in basic furmark before rma but now it does it when I oc vram

loud sandal
#

Don't OC vram

cinder kiln
#

But it's otherwise fine?

high radish
#

I mean I'm done with it . I will get my strix and gonna get rid of bullsheet hmm

loud sandal
#

Smh

#

Blaming a company even though not there fault

high radish
#

I paid 1100$ for it few months ago hmm

cinder kiln
#

Gigglebit be gigglebit tho, no binning whatsoever even for xtreme

loud sandal
#

Only thing you can blame gigabyte is for there exploding power supplys

#

Some other things too

#

But just bc a gpu won't work on an OC that's not to blame the company for

#

The company also only wamt us to run the cards in stock rest is luck and silicon

high radish
#

I mean first they sold me refurbished card as brand new ( either gigatrash itself or Newegg) and it failed after 2 months. Rma sent "new" one cause refurbished items not repairing again. And it failed in a month too

#

Like wth your quality control doing guys

high radish
#

No it was from shuffle hmm

loud sandal
#

Just bc you bought off newegg.com it could have been third party

loud sandal
steel sapphire
#

like, kingpin will always be good

loud sandal
#

Oh

high radish
#

I was pretty alright with it couse rma solved it quickly and I got my replacement in a 2 week but it's funny their 2nd card is faulty too lol

loud sandal
high radish
#

All I know I was playing games at mid settings with my backup card 6600xt for month couse that nonsense

#

So time to solve it forever

loud sandal
#

When a product leaves the warehouse to get shipped to come to your house there's 2 options here either they sent you broken card and are at fault or the shipping company is at fault once card leaved warehouse to get shipped its put of there hands

I bought 2 mobos from gigatrash recently and both were doa too lol

Idk how to feel about it KEKW

Probably just my luck Sadge

Inly gigabyte product working to me is their aorus ssd

Ironic because I've had an aorus ssd fail

Bruh

high radish
cinder kiln
#

But fr tho, the card works fine without any oc?

loud sandal
#

I had gigabyte mobo fail but it was my bad or something I don't remember what happened but ram slots stopped working but also mobo wasn't in a case

#

But all other gigabyte stuff I ordered worked

high radish
#

I got 4/5 fail from gigabyte so I don't think it's worth to try anymore KEKW

loud sandal
#

Buy a product from them again and see what happens

high radish
#

I guess they just messed up with their quality control

loud sandal
#

That's not always the case

#

We just explained to you many things go into your DOA parts and GPU OC not working

#

That could habe nothing to do with QC or it could have everything to do with it but you don't know how your stuff is treated after it leaved there facility

high radish
#

First z590 mobo came with blown q-flash bios chip if I remember right. And bought white b550 mobo like 2 months ago which was doa and I even didn't check what's wrong with it
