[shut spoke]

ig the refurb h150i didnt come with an am4 bracket

[jolly inlet]

970 Evo Plus is a P31 competitor, good stuff

Best price on an A tier SSD right now it seems

[short kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/uwu-cute-yui-hirasawa-k-on-anime-gif-17848977

[daring depot]

I need a 2tb cause my laptop only has 512, but I already own a P31

[jolly inlet]

@quasi pasture

[quasi pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/house-dr-gif-18478738

[fleet marlin]

Remember the P31 also has been close to $160.

[jolly inlet]

But it is not at this current time, P31 is $208 rn

[jolly inlet]

Put the 512 in an external enclosure and profit

[daring depot]

Do people buy used M.2's?

im tempted to sell mine now

I want that 2tb, but mone

[jolly inlet]

Yes they do. When you list it show the drive stats off crystal disk info.

And make sure to wipe the data, not just delete

[grave delta]

Find some program to write random data at least once over to the drive

If you're really lazy, copy paste the ubuntu iso 100 times

[jolly inlet]

Ccleaner has a wipe tool and you can set the number of passes, up to like 35 or something for the really paranoid people. 7 is considered DoD standard.

[quasi pasture]

I just do 1 pass on killdisk free because im lazy

[stoic crest]

better to write than encrypt

ssds has very high write life anyway

writing the whole drive once or twice does no harm

[azure pond]

@grave delta

@grand orbit

@fathom nebula

[daring depot]

Aww NOW THE P31 IS ON SALE!?

Should I burn my account and get it? I have the 1tb version i bought for 120

[loud sandal]

Yes

[daring depot]

Actually jt ain't that good a deal, 27%

I can survive until prime day

[quasi pasture]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/165696562042? 12 slow broadwell cores for 17 dollars lol

[grand orbit]

I mean p31 at 150 is fine but i wouldn't say it's an amazing deal when some drives are hitting 110 for 2tb

[molten halo]

If only the 870 evo would see a huge price cut

[fleet marlin]

Well mx500 is a decent $150/2TB if you need a (good) sata option. P31 deal not "amazing", still a nice $10ish under it's Sammy cousin & pretty much an all time low. Indeed when P41 was $170 makes these sort of gen 3 prices seem weak, lol. Tempted & maybe match P31 w/ P41 I have. (I've realized personally don't need much over 2TB of total space though), P41 had 1 game put on before my temporarily pause from gaming recently for work.

[grand orbit]

@wide onyx you can buy a 4080 for less lol

[wide onyx]

but vintage

[jolly inlet]

Vintage in the same way my 2022 wine is vintage

[wide onyx]

Could be your last chance to grab an EVGA card

[grave delta]

WTS vintage EVGA cards https://i.imgur.com/KdYLpFc.jpg

What's the most downvoted tech deal thus far?

Some cyberpower rocketlake prebuit?

[jolly inlet]

That's a good question...

And not easy to find the answer

I know recently there was the WD green ssd that got 20 down

A 3090 ti got 30 down

There's this but it's kinda cheating

[quasi pasture]

You all simply refuse to accept the truth

LOL

[jolly inlet]

Notice I'm one of the 5 upvotes. Only because if you're in the market for that already it's not bad, and makes a decent cheap home server.

[quasi pasture]

The down votes were all forks's fault

Mob mentality smh

[jolly inlet]

Yeah once a high profile user like a mod-techie says something people tend to follow lol

[quasi pasture]

[jolly inlet]

This is the most downvoted in the last 12 months that hasn't been deleted

[grave delta]

Hall of fame

[high radish]

I heard evga going back to nvidia cards

[jolly inlet]

I highly doubt that tbh

While nvidia GPUs made up a large portion of their gross sales, net profit was comparatively low

[high radish]

I wonder what they will do with stock in their hands

[jolly inlet]

The latest reputable thing I can find is the dead prototype of the 4090 being sent to reviewers

And J2C

He's always been an evga shill though so it makes sense for him

I consider it to be entertainment value only and a sanity check against other reviewers' raw results

But yeah the charity deal was nice

He was definitely riding on reporting for the 16 pin burnups with absolutely no unique info of his own

And that's just a recent example

Yeah Linus was very clear that everything was just speculation and he just wanted to comment and share his thoughts

Jay presented it more like "this is what's happening" with small disclaimers and was ultimately wrong

[steel wren]

i lost it when j2c started to spread this rumor from an "insider" friend of his about how "nvidia will delay the 40 series a whole year, so buy now! dont be idiots"

2 weeks later 30 series dropped even further

feel kinda bad for those who boughts 3090s and 3080s at that time cause j2c "smart suggestion"

[fathom nebula]

Disclaimer:

My name is J2C. I'm a bozo, I thrive on drama, my opinion is not my own, and I give misinformed input oftentimes.

[jolly inlet]

I don't
Their fault for only listening to one person. Call me calloused but it's their own fault.

[steel wren]

true, but still kinda sad for them

[jolly inlet]

I'm an expert in computer hardware, my degree is just from another country I swear

[brittle lagoon]

A degree from sealand

[elder ingot]

Hello. Yes. I invented the gpu (real)

[brisk sphinx]

Okay Dr. Discord

[quasi pasture]

Qualified doctor

Still bad at warzone tho

L

[nocturne temple]

yoo

so

ouh

question

[fair moon]

!ask

[ebon stratus]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[loud sandal]

3090 ti best

[molten halo]

Did they ever ask?

[marsh sphinx]

Scientists are still trying to find out whether or not FrostySnow ever asked their dubious question

[pulsar fable]

And then he never asked

[brisk sphinx]

Still better than @elder ingot

[quasi pasture]

I was talking about sudo to begin with

[grand orbit]

Touch grace?

[azure pond]

Anyone know about this psu? If it's decent, could be a good deal for a super budget build (either low power gpu or igpu) https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811147334?

[stoic crest]

Oh heck nah, that looks like a bomb right there

[stoic crest]

That kingspec ssd isn't a deal at all

MP33 can be had for similar price

Better off going with a known brand than some sus brand

Heck it's cheaper than that kingspec

[loud sandal]

@stoic crest you down voted haha

[stoic crest]

Ye I did, it's a bad deal so

Don't want people falling for it and getting bad product

[loud sandal]

Lol

[azure pond]

Yeah, 2 reviews and its from China

I'd pass on that one chief

[azure pond]

Nice deal for people with an am4 system, new build I'd still go 13600kf though

[fair moon]

Can't seem to find much info about it, but like you said I think it would probably be fine for a low power draw system

[nocturne temple]

Yoo

Need some help

I need some help I just got my m27qx in and I have 3 cables lmao usb 3.0 cable a hdmi high speed cable and a display port cable which one do I use

[quasi pasture]

what ports does your graphics card have

[fair moon]

displayport if your gpu has it

[quasi pasture]

preferably the displayport cable

I think the usb cable is just for the KVM switch

I got my m27q-x recently as well, i dont use it

the switch i mean

[nocturne temple]

What if it’s the hdmi 2.0 cable though

Isn’t that better than the do

Dp*

[quasi pasture]

not if the dp cable is 1.4

[nocturne temple]

How do I find out if it is lol

[quasi pasture]

if you use an hdmi cable you'll be limited to 1440p 144hz

[nocturne temple]

Oh

[quasi pasture]

by using it lol

yea the m27q-x's hdmi port is only 2.0 apparently, not 2.1

I bought an hdmi 2.1 cable when i bought my monitor because I didnt know 🗿

[nocturne temple]

So usd dp

[quasi pasture]

yes use the displayport cable

[keen gust]

mmmmm kingspec nvmes, the ones you get when you want to securely erase your data

[keen gust]

you can usbc to 1440p165 (at least from rdna2)

[quasi pasture]

it's a USB-A to B cable

not C lol

[keen gust]

there's also a C port on the m27q/x

[quasi pasture]

yes...

[keen gust]

and the C supports DP on the monitor

[pulsar fable]

$110 for a 2tb solidigm p41 plus or kingston nv2, $140 for a crucial p3 plus

dang we got good ssd prices now

or at least they were that low. guess only the nv2 is still at this rock bottom price

[nocturne temple]

So what do I use

[nocturne temple]

So what do I use

[quasi pasture]

Just use the displayport cable lol.

It would be a shame if I accidentally shipped you 10 pounds of Corium by accident instead of that conductonaut.

It would be a shame if I kept getting away with my crimes.

It would be a shame if this was considered satire therefore making this inadmissible as evidence.

It would be a shame if someone got offended over banter.

[nocturne temple]

well i might have to return the monitor already

When my pc boots up for like a few secs like all the lights come on but not on my monitor ok and then the pc shuts of and then it turns back on

and its only with my new monitor

[quasi pasture]

record for longer and show the monitors

[nocturne temple]

Ight

Bet

[quasi pasture]

[jolly inlet]

Yeah that's a great model at that price too

[loud sandal]

Welp

[worthy reef]

[loud sandal]

[jolly inlet]

You mean this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VtPQzy/msi-suprim-liquid-x-geforce-rtx-4090-24-gb-video-card-geforce-rtx-4090-suprim-liquid-x-24g

[worthy reef]

[cinder kiln]

All good lol

I got some 5 months before they pick it up from me so plenty of time rn

[jolly inlet]

Someone is awfully hopeful they can scalp that for double https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Graphics-DisplayPort-Full-Coverage-Radiator/dp/B08S6Z2HGW?th=1

[loud sandal]

Lol

[cinder kiln]

That's not even the xtxh model lmfao

[loud sandal]

@cinder kiln can you water cool my pc

[cinder kiln]

I wouldn't trust you even with a glass of water near it

[loud sandal]

I did spill soda once on my pc

It was on top and spilled

[cinder kiln]

I'm not surprised

[loud sandal]

But luckily it went just down the back

My arm actually hit it

[worthy reef]

is that just the waterblock?

[loud sandal]

I think it's with gpu

this is 6950xt

[worthy reef]

ngl kinda worth

if u dont wanna watercool just find a aircooler and swap em

[loud sandal]

lol

i mean i can water cool "maybe"

i never tried it

[worthy reef]

what u scared of

[loud sandal]

bruh

[fleet marlin]

Tbh not sure kenzie should mess w/ the lga1700 "frame" thing either. -- If boot issues, possible fix is backing the screws off a hair. Mine arrives Sat. I'm hunting for ram though

[loud sandal]

[worthy reef]

should be fine

[loud sandal]

@fleet marlin

whats the worst that can happen

[light holly]

Which one did you get?

[fleet marlin]

$7 was good for me. Thermalright. Now deciding on 3600c16 for $115 (32GB) or cheaping out even more. Got my FS140 for sale so I can maybe switch to a single tower.

[light holly]

I personally thought I overtightened mine even though I really wasn't tightening them.. Haven't had any issues since then.. 2 or 3 months ago now.

[light holly]

Yeah thats the one I got.

The instructions in the box are short and simple. Easy to follow.

[jolly inlet]

Really tempting fate today aren't you

[loud sandal]

Pov: I BROKE MY MOBO

[light holly]

What cpu do you have?

[loud sandal]

13600k

[light holly]

Nvm it's in your name.

Tbh, you'll most likely not see any difference in thermals.

[loud sandal]

Well rn my cpu is 91C @ 215W or something

[light holly]

That a 100% full load?

[fleet marlin]

Nice. I figure something like alternating screws & finger tight, then a bit more. Will glance at a couple vids on it. Actually it's not 12400, it's the 12400T (35w base maybe 89w boost & boost is only 200mhz lower. $139.

[loud sandal]

Yea I was running prime 95

[light holly]

Yeah, you are most likely not going to see any difference in your thermals.

[loud sandal]

Bruh

Should I just cancel

[light holly]

Why? It was cheap anyways. May as well do it just because. Plus it gives you more experience.

[loud sandal]

Well it was $24

[light holly]

What? Why?

[loud sandal]

Bc I have no prime

[light holly]

Oh. You ordered off Amazon. Rip.

[fleet marlin]

I've seen the TR/TG frame do 5-8c drop on a 12900k.

[light holly]

I ordered off some Chinese website and got a free $5 coupon.. cost me like 2 bucks

[loud sandal]

Gamer nexus said he seen 7C

[light holly]

Yeah it's possible. If your cpu is being bent.

[jolly inlet]

It is

[light holly]

But in the people I've talked to that have tried the contact frame.. thats not as common as it was made to seem.

[jolly inlet]

We already confirmed that from paste pattern

[loud sandal]

Well

So should I keep my order

[light holly]

Yes

[jolly inlet]

Yes keep it

[loud sandal]

Bruh

2 different answers this isn't confusing at all

[light holly]

How is there 2 different answers? We both said yes.

[fleet marlin]

My bad it was $13 not $7. $7 was the lga1700 bracket for my cooler.

[loud sandal]

Yes cancel
Yes keep it

[light holly]

I never said to cancel.

[jolly inlet]

No one said cancel

[fleet marlin]

Don't ask 2 questions at once , just a tip.

[loud sandal]

Wth

Am I see things

I swear I said cancel

Not keep

[jolly inlet]

[loud sandal]

I see it now but omg lately that's been happening

[light holly]

Yeah I just looked at my order and it was $5

[fleet marlin]

Not waiting 90 days for mine.

[light holly]

Ali express got to Mushroom and I in like 2 weeks

[jolly inlet]

Ali has always been pretty fast to me too

ofc I don't buy anything worth more than $20 so customs is fast

[light holly]

That makes a lot more sense as to why my custom keycap hadn't been delivered from Vietnam yet.. was supposed to be here on the 28th of Nov lol

I didn't know anything over $20 was flagged by customs

[jolly inlet]

It's not like a set limit but higher value stuff is more likely to be held longer

[light holly]

Oh ok. I wonder why

[jolly inlet]

They have to make sure all the taxes and fees were paid, the import forms are correct, scan the contents with 3 different scanners...

[light holly]

Oh

[jolly inlet]

One mistake on an import form, like if a line was recently changed and the shipper didn't catch it, and you get held indefinitely

I had to help people fill out export forms a lot at USPS

[pallid geyser]

https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-003P-00023? Could stand to upgrade the ram but honestly doesn’t seem like a terrible deal

https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-003P-00014? Also, 3080ti

[cinder kiln]

WHAT A DEAL

[jolly inlet]

Wait what

I saw 1k first and thought "oh a 3080 ti for that, not too bad ig"
BUT IT'S A WHOLE PC

[cinder kiln]

RING THE NEWSPAPER

https://tenor.com/view/printing-printers-newspapers-print-media-the-post-gif-10249317

1K 3080TI PC

[jolly inlet]

ABS mesh case and decent seller, I see no faults for that price

[cinder kiln]

If I was in America I would have already bought it

[loud sandal]

I'll buy

[jolly inlet]

You might as well that's a whole pc for what you were about to buy a gpu for

[loud sandal]

I would really like a 4090 through

[cinder kiln]

Through where

[jolly inlet]

Yes where exactly are you finding this unicorn

[loud sandal]

Lol

[jolly inlet]

3080 ti can do 4k60 easy in almost everything

Ultra quality

[loud sandal]

It's my quest 2

[jolly inlet]

EZ

[loud sandal]

I wanted to do max setting

My 3090 couldn't do it

[cinder kiln]

Fal not wrong

[jolly inlet]

My 3080 ti does better than my old 3090

[loud sandal]

That's true

[jolly inlet]

More stable and less throttling

[loud sandal]

What if they give sucky 3080 ti

[cinder kiln]

"sucky"

[loud sandal]

Wait

[cinder kiln]

They're all nvidia approved chips

[loud sandal]

Is the 3rd party trust worthy

[cinder kiln]

No such thing lmao

[jolly inlet]

Seller I've seen before and they have nearly 90% in everything which is hard on wegg market

[loud sandal]

@cinder kiln I had a 3090 that would thermal throttle on 350W bc not big enough heatsink aka XC3

When my 3080 ti pulled 460W ans stayed cooler

[cinder kiln]

You can still undervolt that and be fine

[jolly inlet]

3080 ti has less memory chips so less heat

[loud sandal]

MAX POWER

[jolly inlet]

Plus single side and not memory on backside

[cinder kiln]

Ah, kenzie's already had a 3080 ti

This won't work fal

[loud sandal]

[jolly inlet]

Yes and it's unfortunate what happened to that pc

[cinder kiln]

Even though the whole pc is less than a 3080 ti it'll get sold

[pallid geyser]

Both of my buddies got an ABS & ended up with 3080 EVGA XC3 so

[loud sandal]

@cinder kiln I had 3090, 3080 ti, 3070, 3060

[cinder kiln]

Man 3070 is the only one I've never tried

Sadge

[jolly inlet]

Same

[loud sandal]

Well 3070, 3060 laptop

[jolly inlet]

The 3060 I had matched my 2070, I was rather disappointed

But I was mining on the 2070 so 3060 for gaming it was lol

[loud sandal]

Oh

One moment let me find pic

[jolly inlet]

Newegg JUST STOP

[cinder kiln]

[jolly inlet]

That is not even remotely "62th" percentile, that's 95th

[cinder kiln]

Someone did a scale to 100 and not a deviation chart

[jolly inlet]

It's so not hard to search for a dead average submission for the parts and see the percentile

https://www.3dmark.com/spy/23575210

[loud sandal]

@jolly inlet @cinder kiln i wanna run this

[cinder kiln]

Ew what

[loud sandal]

5k quest

[jolly inlet]

Why are you rendering in 5k

[cinder kiln]

Just use 1080

Wth

[loud sandal]

ew

[cinder kiln]

Dual 1080

[loud sandal]

no i cant see

[cinder kiln]

It doesn't have more pixels than that tho

You still can't see the extra pixels

[loud sandal]

it doesnt go 1080p

[cinder kiln]

"dual 1080p"

What's 2x 1080p

[jolly inlet]

Pretty sure even the 4090 would struggle with 5k120 max

[loud sandal]

i tired the render resulution but its a bit blurry

[loud sandal]

smh why

[jolly inlet]

Look at 4k results

Multiply results by 0.7

[loud sandal]

Smh

I'm gunna get the Nvidia manager

[jolly inlet]

To account for a lot more pixels, weird res, and all that

[loud sandal]

then max i need this this thjen

The 120hz is blurry but the 72hz option is okay

My 3090 could almost do it

I don't wear glasses in vr bc of what happened last time so if I could make screen less blurry that would be nice

[jolly inlet]

I severely underestimated how many more pixels 5408x2736 is over 3840x2160, it's like 8 million pixels vs 15 million, so cut 4k results in half

Which means average fps would be around 60

[loud sandal]

Oh

What would 4090 res able to do at 120hz

[jolly inlet]

Regular 4k

Not that weird 5k bs

[loud sandal]

lol

1.5

[jolly inlet]

Yeah that's a little more than 4k's worth of pixels

So that would get roughly 100 maybe? Considering VR overhead

[loud sandal]

hm

I'm trying to make game as smooth as possible while not looking blurry I get motion sickness

[jolly inlet]

Then you want fps not res

[loud sandal]

I want both

[jolly inlet]

You literally can't have both

Even the 4090 doesn't let you have both

[loud sandal]

Watch me ill scream at my pc

Okay but 3k

Can do 120hz

If 4k is about 100 then 3k should do 120hz

Gpus rn on newegg live

[jolly inlet]

Yes
Which is slightly more than 1440p

[loud sandal]

I just need my quest 2 screen a bit higher then it is rn

[jolly inlet]

So you need a new headset is what you're saying

[loud sandal]

What nah

[jolly inlet]

A bit higher what then

I thought you meant resolution

[loud sandal]

Yea that's what I mean but I won't need a new headset

[jolly inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-wth-wtf-really-meme-gif-17151805

[loud sandal]

@jolly inlet so do you really think I should buy the ABS pc

[quasi pasture]

didnt you just recently buy a PC or build a new one or something

[loud sandal]

@quasi pasture don't you love my ideas

[quasi pasture]

you know what kind of PC ill recommend

[jolly inlet]

istg I'm gonna mute you

[loud sandal]

Who

[jolly inlet]

far is really bringing x79 into everything lately and it's beginning to bug me is all

[loud sandal]

Bruh

[quasi pasture]

sorry ill switch it up

[jolly inlet]

I'm not really going to do it

[loud sandal]

Ah yes x299

[quasi pasture]

I have taken a good picture of my rve10 yet

i should do that

[loud sandal]

Do a little trolling

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsungs-55-inch-odyssey-ark-1000-off/

Look at this monster game

[prime crow]

its so close and so big you wouldnt be able to see certain UI elements easily

[loud sandal]

Well idk

[prime crow]

actually making your gaming experience worse

[loud sandal]

When I have big monitor I could see

[quasi pasture]

eyestrain

[loud sandal]

Nah ita fine

[quasi pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-patrick-star-patrick-stare-patrick-eyes-red-eyes-gif-14781443

[jolly inlet]

It would be so bad sitting that close to a large screen

You have to turn your neck so far to see the corners

[prime crow]

this is why most people stop at like 42 inch for monitors

[quasi pasture]

I would never get a monitor above 32" tbh

[prime crow]

and even then, some games have to have options to move UI elements in

[loud sandal]

I had 34 inch

[jolly inlet]

27" seems perfect for me personally, I sit pretty close and I can see the whole screen just by moving my eyes so no strain from snap motions

[prime crow]

theres a real big difference between 34 and 55

55 inch is both my 27's side by side and then some

plus the vertical

[jolly inlet]

Quad 27s

[quasi pasture]

bye bye ppi

[jolly inlet]

Assuming it's the same format like 16:9

[prime crow]

I think for my desk a 34 would be plenty

[loud sandal]

@jolly inlet

[jolly inlet]

Do it I dare you
See how fast that 4090 gets throttled to a 3070

[loud sandal]

[fringe cloak]

Wouldn't exactly call this a deal...

[jolly inlet]

No what that is for is tax fraud

[stoic crest]

^

[fringe cloak]

I wouldn't doubt it. Straight from Neweggs site though. lol

[jolly inlet]

No that's a third party seller

[stoic crest]

it's third party seller

[quasi pasture]

but its certified 🤓

[pallid geyser]

Maybe there’s like 1,000 of them or something

[fringe cloak]

I know it's third party

[jolly inlet]

Sure but what they do is list it for that price so they can deduct that from gross income

Unsold inventory gets written off

And there's no real rules for valuation that anyone really follows but that's a big red flag if they get audited

Either that or money laundering but that's a little more rare

[loud sandal]

Zotac

[jolly inlet]

Cruise ship looking shroud

[loud sandal]

I really want gpu but prices

[jolly inlet]

4080 is awful value anyway

[loud sandal]

But 4090 like 2k rn bc they not making any

[jolly inlet]

If you must, wait for the 7900 XTX that will be 1k

[loud sandal]

But Nvidia is supposed to drop prive

[loud sandal]

I don't want amd anymore

[stoic crest]

not so soon

[jolly inlet]

In Europe, by about 5%

[loud sandal]

Can I board a plane with a gpu

[jolly inlet]

Yes

Brb plane trip

[jolly inlet]

It's still more expensive there

[loud sandal]

Sadge

Wait if I take USA money over doesn't that mean I have more money

[jolly inlet]

The "price drop" is more them normalizing the msrp against the us dollar and euro value

[jolly inlet]

Less because of conversion fees

[loud sandal]

Darn

[jolly inlet]

There's some areas where the value of money itself is higher, like looking at California vs Kansas. It's so much cheaper to live in Kansas.

[loud sandal]

Oh

I think this is cheapest 4090

[jolly inlet]

I would rather drive the 9 hours to microcenter for one in store at $1700

Still cheaper

[loud sandal]

We only have 4080

The closes which is 2 hours

[jolly inlet]

Right, and I would obviously go on restock day

[loud sandal]

Ay

I found 1

I go bed now goodnight

[jolly inlet]

g'night

[jolly inlet]

The $1000 3080 ti PC sold out

[elder patio]

If I had that kind of money

[quasi pasture]

lol yikes

64%

[stoic crest]

sus seller

[quasi pasture]

yea the reviews are pretty bad

borderline scammer

[brisk sphinx]

Even for $1200?

[jolly inlet]

Comparing msrp to msrp the 4080 costs 25% less for 25% less performance at 4k compared to the 4090. And we all know how bad the top card value always is.
Besides if you're able to spend that much you'd just get a 4090.

[cinder kiln]

If you can still find the previous gen halo cards for 700-ish you generally get better value than a 4080 by a good margin

There's a reason they're already talking price cuts on that card after only a month or less

[jolly inlet]

Yeah like a 6900 XT can be around that range

And those price cuts are a joke to get them in the news

[cinder kiln]

I mean hey, the 7000 series ryzen got them pretty quick

[pulsar fable]

B-but muh Nvidia

[cinder kiln]

Lol

I just hope the rumours of N31 aren't true about manufacturing costs

Apparently a lot more than 4080

[jolly inlet]

No way a smaller die half made on an older node costs more than a giant monolithic die to make

[cinder kiln]

That's what I thought too but they be rumour millin

Act quick if you want that 775

[jolly inlet]

AMD themselves have bragged about the costs

[cinder kiln]

The 775 one is good wanderer

[pulsar fable]

I just remembered I have a system with an x470 and 5600 I'm giving him

Yeah there's no gpu but his 4th gen i5 isn't doing him favors, and unlike me he doesn't say modern aaa games, so he won't exactly benefit from that beast of a 3070

...I might get it for myself then >:]

As an added bonus, [insert 11th gen Intel space heater joke here]

I can see why that 3080ti deal went so fast

[cinder kiln]

I'd get the prebuilt then sell the parts leftover you have tbh

[jolly inlet]

Right? A whole system for the price of the gpu

[pulsar fable]

Hmm

https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-003P-000F9
They seem to have one more deal, but this one only has one review with only 1 egg

A 3070ti system for $850 tho

[jolly inlet]

That one review is absolutely no help, they posted it before they even knew what happened to it

[fair moon]

The 3070 build is refurbished

Still a good deal I think

[cinder kiln]

That 3070ti build would be good

Bottom fans mean it won't really struggle for air

10700f on a downdraft do be ambitious tho

[stoic crest]

it was already deleted

[loud sandal]

@jolly inlet so question you might not know but when will m32U come back on sale

[grand orbit]

Just use your fortune telling skills duh

Yeah you better be bad

[loud sandal]

Well ik but isn't there a way to find out by like older sales or something to predict what might happen or no

[grand orbit]

I've never seen anything go on sale on a schedule

[loud sandal]

No wait I'm getting a feeling in my sixth sense... It feels like... The third Wednesday of January...

Or gas. That's more likely I think.

[fair moon]

"$1000 worth of games" is just not true sorry

[brittle lagoon]

It's at msrp

[fair moon]

Not blaming Fal cause that's the claim everywhere but c'mon look at those titles

[light holly]

@jolly inlet The Saints Row game says unavailable for me.

[brittle lagoon]

Yea the games don't look good, but a bunch of indie games that are at high MSRP let's you pump up the value

[fair moon]

1000/85 = 11.765 per game lmao

There's a few bigger titles in there that might make it worth if you're interested in those specific ones

[steel wren]

yeah but look at them as if you are doing a good cause

[brittle lagoon]

I don't like how it's not immediately available what's actually in there like humble bundle

[steel wren]

no need to be like that 😛

[brittle lagoon]

In general, I'd just give my money to humble bundle instead lel

[steel wren]

its like a donation with something in return of some value

[fair moon]

Yeah it's for charity but imo still very dishonest to claim it's worth $1000

[light holly]

I'm all for Humble Bundle.

[short kindle]

It’s charity man. Also a write off on taxes.

[brittle lagoon]

That's what humble bundle is

Except a better experience

[steel wren]

gotta love that as well

[fair moon]

Humble monthly has gotten worse than it used to but the special bundles are still great

The recent VR ones have been solid

[short kindle]

I drag the sliders so the majority goes to charity.

[light holly]

They kind of went all out with that Ukraine Bundle

[fair moon]

Pretty sure it doesn't count as a write-off but I might be wrong

[light holly]

Charity does yes

[fair moon]

That one was insane

[light holly]

That's why a lot of rich people give to charities

[fair moon]

Yeah but if you're receiving something of value I don't think it counts

[steel wren]

still counts, because the bundle is not tied to the donation

[light holly]

mm, in the sense of Humble though, I don't believe you are paying for the items. You are donating to Humble and they are gifting you the stuff.

[steel wren]

is more like a "gift"

[fair moon]

I want to believe this but I feel like I've heard it isn't true

https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/55xm01/can_humble_be_used_for_tax_deductions/

[steel wren]

its kinda shady, but legally correct nonetheless

[fair moon]

https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/substantiating-charitable-contributions

Yup right here:

For example, if a donor gives a charity $100 and receives a concert ticket game keys valued at $40, the donor has made a quid pro quo contribution. In this example, the charitable contribution portion of the payment is $60.

Both humble and jingle are claiming the game value to be much higher than what you pay

[steel wren]

yeah but thats on the surface

on reality none of those are tied

you donate the 100% and then they will "gift" you the cd keys

those are 2 separate "transactions"

[fair moon]

Pretty sure "gifting" doesn't matter

[fathom nebula]

I don't think it's that hard tto understand:

You donated, they gave you something in return.

[steel wren]

2 different transactions, look at them at that way

both are gifts, as i said.... looks shady, but legally correct

tax-free 😄

[light holly]

Well. tbf, on the Humble Website.. it is claiming that you are purchasing the bundle.

[steel wren]

you "gift" them money, and then they "gift" you keys

[light holly]

You are buying a bundle in their words.

[steel wren]

should be more complicated on the legal side, need some lawyer around 😛

[fair moon]

Humble purchases are 100% not tax free.
Jingle jam might be because 1) only the first 100000 donations get the bundle and 2) I'm guessing all the profit goes to charity, not like humble where it's a portion

[light holly]

well.. I agree with this mostly. For example, I went to the store and bought $75 worth of merchandise and they gave me a free gift for spending that much. The gift itself was free because I did not have to pay for it, however I did have to spend a certain amount before I got the gift.

It's kind of the same way with newegg for example.. Get a X gift card for buying this item, but only if you buy this item.

It's still a gift though.

You pay for the original item yes, but you don't pay for the gift.

Gift: Something voluntarily transferred by one person to another without compensation.

You aren't directly buying that item.

That doesn't mean it isn't a gift though.

I buy vape flavors from certain vendors monthly. I always get gifted an extra flavor.

Ok, but you aren't actually buying the gift.. It doesn't matter that you have to spend money on something else in order to get the gift.

That in all essence.. makes it a gift.

[fair moon]

I think the topic has shifted to "what is taxable" instead of "what can be deducted"

[light holly]

They are giving it to you free of charge..

No.. You don't have to spend that money.

You choose to spend that money. So they gift you.

There is such thing as a conditional gift btw

It's still a gift lol

[fathom nebula]

What is considered a gift? Any transfer to an individual, either directly or indirectly, where full consideration (measured in money or money's worth) is not received in return.

-IRS itself.

[brittle lagoon]

Leave the laws to the lawyers, call it whatever you want

[light holly]

Ok, but you are literally not paying for the gift

You are paying for the other items.

you get the gift on top of that.

They are not receiving money in return for the gift they are giving you.

per your IRS statement

[brittle lagoon]

They received full consideration in money from your transaction, as per the IRS statement

[light holly]

For the items that you are purchasing.

the gift is given for free.

[brittle lagoon]

That distinction doesn't exist in the law

For the law, you receive merchandise, you pay the store

The store giving you more merchandise for the same amount you're paying doesn't make it a gift in the eyes of the law

It's still a transaction

Gifts are more marketing than anything else tbh

Bogo deals are done with the value in consideration

[light holly]

That's not a gift though

that's marketed and told to you that it's buy one get one free, not buy one get a gift.

[brittle lagoon]

Yes, bogo deals are an example of why it's not a gift

Because bogo deals fit under the framework of what you claim to be a gift

[light holly]

I guess the tax laws that screw all of us over are 100% correct all the time because you know.. they are all 100% good to have there.

Anyways. I guess it got lost to me somewhere that we were talking about the law specifically.

[jolly inlet]

Try looking in the epic store then

[brittle lagoon]

We started with talking about the applications of tax laws onto humble bundle and similar charities lol

[light holly]

It's showing that I can get it now.

[light holly]

aye, but not about small gifts from a store.

[brittle lagoon]

This isn't about if we agree or disagree with the law, just what the law is

[light holly]

Then I agree.

[jolly inlet]

Did I forget to mention that the charity bundle is tax deductible for you, and that's why they have to call the games a "gift"

[light holly]

https://tenor.com/view/despierta-ya-gif-24011402

[brittle lagoon]

Law said no

Because higher value than what you're giving

(at the usual rate)

Referring to
https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/substantiating-charitable-contributions

[jolly inlet]

They make the claim on the tiltify site so maybe it's going by uk law

[fair moon]

yeah at least in the US it doesn't seem to be deductible.

imagine if humble was deductible 😍

Cant speak for that specific Microcenter keyboard but the Redragon board I have is fairly good

[jolly inlet]

Not with that attitude

[pulsar fable]

Anything is free if youre willing to turn to crime

[quasi pasture]

I can confirm this is false

[loud sandal]

I had free lunch in school when I was in high school

[jolly inlet]

Crime has costs of its own

Like your freedom

Or a fine, depending

[grand orbit]

That assumes you get caught

[jolly inlet]

Taking measures to not get caught also has other costs

[grand orbit]

Shhh you're ruining the joke DAD

The food was gross

[loud sandal]

Our food was good

Had pizza and sandwiches and full meals

[brisk sphinx]

That game bundle just doubled my steam library size LOL

Mostly indie games but there’s a couple good titles in there

[loud sandal]

can you not see games until you buy

[brisk sphinx]

You only see 4 or 5

[loud sandal]

i was trying to see whats excluded

[short kindle]

Rip that free combo. The virus ruined my trip next week to microcenter.

[loud sandal]

oo i bought it

[jolly inlet]

They're taking away the pizza, if they didn't already. They were only allowed to serve it because of an old rule that let them count the tomato paste as 2 vegetables. Which is dumb, and wrong.

[loud sandal]

Hm idk

[worthy reef]

Dw theyve had that for a while now but i dont know if its only for “new customers”

[opal flume]

What? No, the Jingle Jam has the full bundle listed on it's tiltify. Though probaby should've used the main link rather than Spiff's link

https://jinglejam.tiltify.com/

[jolly inlet]

No you should definitely use spiff's link

And I'm totally not a shill

holy scalper

[short kindle]

Charity Auction.

[stoic crest]

"broo give me 14k for this totally ancient relic of tech!"

[steel wren]

14k? you kidding? still 6 days

that thing will end at 100k

[stoic crest]

im sure no one's gonna get this lol

they're gonna troll bid

[steel wren]

if the item is real and its protected by ebay for the charity... then i dont think troll bids will be allowed

[molten halo]

It’s also a tax write off for a millionaire tech enthusiast

[steel wren]

certainly the item is invaluable

must be what? 30 units made?

[stoic crest]

wait i didn't notice it's 4090 prototype

fair enough

but damn the price do be absurd

this isn't a car

[steel wren]

well, its an auction for charity

[stoic crest]

ye but still

ouch

[steel wren]

yeah that card will end at 100k+

not even a box to boast 😛

[stoic crest]

it better go to a good cause at that price

[stoic crest]

i hope most, if not all of 100k goes somewhere good

that's great

[steel wren]

must be, i mean those cards are on the hands of evga, and a certain amount of techtubers... a handful

[cinder kiln]

Good lord the evga card is up to 14.4K

[steel wren]

so, no way to make a shady move with that card and/or money

[cinder kiln]

It's going to charity good

[steel wren]

without losing a lot of valuable reputation

[stoic crest]

i understand it having people willing to get it then

money goes to charity, they get an unreleased prototype

it's a win that feels good

[steel wren]

a fully functional unreleased prototype i might add

[stoic crest]

ye

it's production ready

[cinder kiln]

Ye it's a fully fledged 4090

That thing is a diamond

[stoic crest]

but evga pulled before that

quite a shame really

[cinder kiln]

Forget turing titan, this is cooler lol

[steel wren]

and then some felix guy slap a waterblock on it

killing the mood

[stoic crest]

bruh

the burn

[cinder kiln]

already waterblockd your suprim man?

[cinder kiln]

Nah it's shipped tho

[steel wren]

you flipped the card?

or rma?

[cinder kiln]

Was seriously debating leaving the card as is

What return?

I'm gonna use it for work

[steel wren]

and why is being shipped?

o.O

[cinder kiln]

The block

[steel wren]

oh

[cinder kiln]

Ye

I might not end up using the block tho

Depends on how it looks/clearance

[steel wren]

yeah the card is too beautiful as it is

[cinder kiln]

Ye

It's also perfectly happy with the cooler

I don't need to repaste

But we'll see

[steel wren]

but depending on the block and a crystal clear coolant... it might work as well

[cinder kiln]

Ye I have clear coolant

I never made that mistake of colours

I might need a new pump tho

[steel wren]

the ol' d5 is already failing?

[cinder kiln]

I'm using ddc

Sorry

Big difference

[steel wren]

[cinder kiln]

But on the 3090 I could run 600W with it easily

[cloud hornet]

Seems legit

[cinder kiln]

Have to see with this card

[steel wren]

this made it legit

[molten halo]

Also the evga article

[steel wren]

if the card is sold, the money will go directly to the foundation

[short kindle]

see here

[steel wren]

yup

evga is sponsoring that ebay account directly

[cinder kiln]

Hmmm

[steel wren]

seems shady at first, but everything point as 100% legal on evga

I don't have 15 grand on me rn

[molten halo]

It’s probably gunna be a lot more then 15grand anyways

[cinder kiln]

Oh yeah fr

[steel wren]

could be a hundred grand in a couple days

who knows how much it will be at the end of the auction

6 days still

[cinder kiln]

I could have 15 grand in a week

Alright, guess it do be actually legit. But tbf, that is the only proof of it being legit. Cant imagine it be hard to spoof the charity stuff on eBay page, plus the two issues I mentioned before.

[cinder kiln]

Reeee

[molten halo]

The eBay for charity verification is honestly the biggest confirmation imo

[cloud hornet]

I mean, how hard is it to get that verification and how easy is it to spoof (dont use eBay and pretty sure they dont allow embeds, but going to use embeds as an example of easy spoofing)?

[stoic crest]

I'll remain skeptical until further information is provided

But pulled before actual production

Imagine having friends can't relate

Not a big deal but 2x16GB ballistix 3200 is a decent $90 on Amazon currently. Main point is it often easily can do 3600 give or take & still $20ish cheaper than certain 3600c16 kits are. Also it's pretty much dual rank guaranteed which maybe a nice thing.

[brisk sphinx]

I forgot 16 series existed

[steel wren]

they are still good, but not at that price

nor from pladin

[light holly]

Wut master deal?

[steel wren]

the 3080

[cinder kiln]

Oh yeah the master woot deal

[light holly]

If only it was the master. I'd be buying another one.

[cinder kiln]

It is

10gb

[light holly]

It is.. the extreme

[cinder kiln]

Kenzie said oos tho

Oh

Xtreme is better?

[light holly]

10gb model so meh.

[steel wren]

not like the 12gb is 2% better

at best

[light holly]

Thought it was better than that.

[steel wren]

no

[cinder kiln]

It is

No Ravell it kinda is lol

[steel wren]

really? then my life is a lie

[cinder kiln]

12gb is basically a 3080 ti

3080 10gb is a genuine step down

It's like, 15-20% more cuda cores

[steel wren]

to my knowledge the ti was like 10% better, while the 12gb 3080 was like 2% better over 10gb

[cinder kiln]

That said, the clock speed on the 10gb gets it much closer than that cuda deficit

So it's more like 5-10%

[light holly]

Also bandwidth because the increased memory bus right?

[cinder kiln]

90 Ti>>>90>80 Ti>80 12gb>>80 10gb>>70 Ti

[cinder kiln]

Can't remember

[light holly]

760gb/s vs 912gb/s

[cinder kiln]

That would help a bit yea but the benchmarks show the difference isn't as crazy

[steel wren]

yup

not 2% more like 5% better

im reading that rn

[cinder kiln]

I mean it's still decent for the price

[light holly]

Yeah, not saying its bad at all.

[cinder kiln]

$712 OCF tho

[steel wren]

and not 15-20% more cuda cores felix

[light holly]

I just want another master!

[steel wren]

8704 vs 8960

[cinder kiln]

Eh

NANI

[steel wren]

3% more cuda cores

[light holly]

Thats totally 10-15% more Cuda

[cinder kiln]

LMAO

I thought it was just under 10K my bad

And I thought 3080 10gb was 7960 haha

[steel wren]

the real difference is the bandwidth, but all in all that accounts for 5% more performance on the 12gb model
