Where’s that from?

Don’t watch him anymore. The occasional shouting is annoying and in regards to info…well, Wendell and Steve go way more in-depth. Paul is at least calmer while Kyle seems to go for a younger audience.

btw, I’m watching some old z-reviews stream on twitch and he mentions tek syndicate xD
“tek syndicate? who cares? they’re destroyed”

What I’m more surprised by is the supposed performance being on par with an RX 580 (if Intel is to be believed that is kek)
Should be interesting anyway.

Also lol at the name

#2046

Isn’t the XBOX’s also supposed to be in that level?

#2047

It would be 10% faster if it were clocked at the same speed as an RX 580. But its clocked at around 1000-1200 mhz not the 1400-1500 that RX 580s are so its the same ish or somewhat slower. Because the XboxX has more gpu cores than an RX 580.

Massive kek, GPU prices have surged again so R9 390s are selling for between $280-400 again.
Figure that nows a good a time as any to list my 390 and see what happens. Asking $350 with best offer because why not? The last few 390s on auction sold for $370-390 so.
Would amuse me if I sold it for that much as Ill have end up making $50 more than I bought it for. That said ill probably take less if theres offers on it so will see.

If it works out ill have $600 or so to get a GPU. Or maybe more depending on laptops and other stuff.

Edit;
Oh also have not gotten any more messages from FE Vega idiot so thats nice I guess?

Or I guess everything is sold out.
Even most 1080 Tis are.
Alrighty then.
Well I still have an RX 570 and I can get a Firepro S9150 and throw on an Arctic Accelero III if nothing else I guess lol… K.

Damnit mining. Oh well, still will sell my 390 while its going for a lot and patiently wait I guess

that moment when a Titan X has more value than overpriced Vega and 1080 Tis and 1080s are $600-800 rip

Lol I’m half tempted to just save up and get the Empire Edition Titan XP for “only” $1138 kek.
Mainly because a red Nvidia GPU is something that I would be amused to actually have. Also I doubt its going out of stock soon so theres that. Also its still at MSRP kek

Edit;
Oh hey found a blower design 1080 Ti for $760.
Also somehow FE vega is $750 and in stock at newegg.

HAHAHA found an EVGA 1080 SSC for $620 which is actually retail… At best buy of all places. Now to wait for my 390 to sell so I can get it.
Or I could be impatient and get it now… Hmmm.

Only part that is odd is having to order it to the store and pick it up in store only. Which isnt a big deal is just rather odd.
Will probably go there and see if theres any in stock/refurbished first and then order it there.

#2051

get it now because it might not last XD

That is quite normal for tech stores over here. they don’t actually stock them in store and they have to order them for collection.

#2053

Thats probably a good thing lol.
Because mining.

#2054

Yeah probably. I have a CC for a reason xD
Probably will be the first time ive used it in like 4 months too rofl. Because I dont usually like to buy things with not money. But this is a worthy exception as otherwise I probably wont get a new GPU … Yay for limited supply on all the things
Also miners buying literally all the gaming GPUs because reasons?

And now they buy all the things not just the midrange ones.
Well they havent bought the low-end cards yet so theres that

#2055

Something something, can’t use APUs for mining :stuck_out_tongue:

#2056

apus are not viable because your looking at a huge price list for like 10 CU’s of vega mining XD

need ram,psu,mobo,hdd and somewhere to place all of it where as a PCIe based GPU mean that you can fit around 8-10 64 CU’s of vega mining power onto a single MB

yep mostly thinking that APUs might be the only “gaming gpus” out there if miners go for low-end cards also because the market is starving for cards.

#2058

Yep. For mining more GPU, more money. As long as said GPUs can make back the money they cost.
Hence why lowerend ones are less popular.
Not that a 1050 wont make money just not very much ROI compared to a 1060 and above for mining.
