  1. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    I'm certainly not questioning the advantage of more VRAM...to a point. 12GB would be nice to have, but really by the time you need that much (you'll likely need a 4K monitor to hit the wall), the 4000 series or 5000 series (or whatever) will be out, probably for a few years already. It's also...

  2. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    This is a phish right? You're using a 580 for 4K VR gaming and you're blaming the amount of VRAM? 🤔 As I said, moving from my 1070 to a 3070 (both 8GB) more than doubled my performance at 1440p.

  3. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    Well, I don't do VR (again, very niche) because it isn't ready for mainstream yet IMO, especially the well-documented poor implementation in DCS. I believe in ED's last newsletter they say they are 'working on it'. Way too expensive to get a good headset, and they still haven't fixed motion...

  4. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    Totally Nvidia's fault and I wouldn't buy a 3070 at $1,500 either...you'd have to be a full-on idiot. I sold 2 of them to said idiots...likely miners. Yes, it should have more than 8GB, but in the end it really doesn't matter is my point. I guess if you play at 4K (like, less than .1% of...

  5. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    I get a chuckle out of these '8GB isn't enough' threads. I paid $829 CAD ($640 USD) for my EVGA XC3 Ultra 3070, and was just playing DCS (a VRAM hog) at 1440p on my 32" IPS monitor at about 110 fps with high settings on the Syria map (most performance-heavy map in the game), and always marvel...

  6. Ethereum GPU mining?

    I'm already down to about 0.00245 eth/day on Ethermine. Whattomine is still showing 0.0035 estimate, which is just wrong. Quite a drop from 0.01 per day! I just sold the extra 3070...took the easy profit. I figure at this rate it's almost a year to pay it off at what I paid for it ($740...

  7. The anti-crypto thread

    This is interesting. Memory Express (where I've managed to get three 3070's, a 3060ti, and a couple 1660 Supers) have just changed their policy: Due to overwhelming demand and prolonged global shortages for Graphics Cards, we are no longer taking backorders (instore or online) for ALL Graphics...

  8. The anti-crypto thread

    It's known and accepted that the average person will exaggerate his income by upwards of 25%, but these days with social media it seems that exaggeration in all things has almost become sport. :D You'd need at least twenty 3090's to even come close to those kind of 'profits', just don't forget...

  9. The anti-crypto thread

    Well, as a finance major, I'm well aware of the scam that is the stock market, and with the continued total lack of regulation in the US, the collapse this time will be even more spectacular (yet people bleat on about how wonderful it is when it's at all-time highs). Some yahoo with his whole...

  10. The anti-crypto thread

    He must have meant $12. Crypto 'enthusiasts' tend to exaggerate things (quite) a bit, even the longtime youtube guys. Right now on Whattomine with a 3090 (very optimistically if you don't run into overheating issues with that card: 100MH/s, 225W) you will get $6.47 USD mining straight Eth...

  11. Ethereum GPU mining?

    Got another new EVGA Ultra XC3 3070 if I want it (for $921 CAD, $740 USD w/tax), just have to pick it up. My intuition says though that it doesn't make sense as the Eth profits have dropped so much and EIP 1559 is on the horizon. I could flip it I suppose for $1,600. Thoughts?

  12. The anti-crypto thread

    Good discussion, a lot here know a lot more than I do about Crypto, but my gut tells me it's a scam, even though I am currently mining my meagre amounts of ETH on 2 - 3 GPUs. My gut also tells me it will eventually be banned by all countries, especially if it starts messing too much with power...

  13. Ethereum GPU mining?

    I guess it's the low gas fees right now which are way down around $2.

  14. Ethereum GPU mining?

    NH is about 10% less profit than just using Trex/PM. It's obviously still profitable, but I was at over $22 per day for a few months with the same hashrate as I have now. Again, none of this matters if you hold on to it, it only matters when you cash out. Hopefully EIP/POS will push the price...

  15. Ethereum GPU mining?

    I've noticed my per-day estimated earnings on Ethermine have really tanked in the last month or so (around 0.004 atm), sans a brief period where they pushed back up to 0.008 when the prices first dropped. That's around $10.55 USD per day with a 3070 and 1660 super running 24/7 (61.5 & 32.2 MH/s...

  16. My Horrible Return Experience with Newegg

    Actually I asked my son and he confirms I didn't tape over the original tape, I taped around it (on either side), thinking foolishly I guess that it would be better to seal the box up a little better than it was just so I wouldn't get screwed over, and/or the tape came loose in the return...

  17. My Horrible Return Experience with Newegg

    I didn't realize that, thanks. If even a few people read my posts (here and now 9 other much more populated forums I've posted to) and think twice about buying from them, I'll feel a little better. Seriously, don't they know the old adage about keeping an irate customer happy, especially now...

  18. My Horrible Return Experience with Newegg

    Next time don't do what? It was clear packing tape and you could still see and manipulate the little 3 inch piece of tape that was the only thing holding the box closed on a 34" ultrawide monitor. The shipping label wasn't covering it, the tape was. I guess I misspoke. Solution, don't buy...

  19. My Horrible Return Experience with Newegg

    I've been buying from them since 2011. I recently bought a monitor, DIDN'T OPEN IT as I changed my mind, and returned it to them at my expense (cost me $60 to ship it back to Ontario, plus I lost the original $10 shipping). I have NEVER returned anything to them before. I get the return...

  20. Ethereum GPU mining?

    You obviously didn't lose your house/job/retirement savings like so many millions of Americans did last time. Great for a handful of individuals, but speculation is toxic for the long-term health of the country. Nobody ever learns down there. Not to turn this political, but this 'me' thinking...

  21. Question Let's talk tough turkey - what if mining more-or-less "never" subsides? Strategies for getting GPUs?

    I agree that it's largely hands-off once you're dialed in, but you still need to be around to keep an eye on the cards. I fret a little too much probably over my 3070 as it is in my gaming PC. I also live in an extremely cold climate (central Sask, Canada), but I still don't use the cards to...

  22. Question Gird your cards

    I'm not sure what you're talking about. When you are able to buy a video card and this happens you will have a 90 day warranty instead of the usual 2 or 3 years. You think that's a good thing?

  23. Question Gird your cards

    I'm not grinding your gears, but just because everything is grotesquely overpriced doesn't now make the 3090 a good value. I sold my 5700XT for over $1,000 USD, but it was a good value buy at $380. It doesn't matter what you can sell it for, unless you actually sell it. I could have bought a...

  24. Question Gird your cards

    Nah, you should still feel foolish for paying 300% more for only 30% more performance ;)

  25. Question Gird your cards

    Not sure what you mean by 'good', but if referring to the warranties...not good as it will affect all cards, not just mining cards.

  26. Question Gird your cards

    The overall card temp does affect the memory temps, I tested this out myself with my 5700XT. The 3070 doesn't have a sensor, the 3080/90 do. From the testing I've seen from the few who have used a probe, the GDDR6 3070 memory stays quite cool (78C), whereas you need to really worry if you have...

  27. Question Gird your cards

    This could also cause some trouble if it heads over here. Doubtful that it would be allowed in N. America though: https://www.pcgamer.com/cryptocurrency-mining-has-started-eroding-graphics-card-warranties-in-some-territories/ It does give me pause though and make me consider shutting down my...

  28. Question XFX XTR 550 Watt is 6 years old, Runs Fine, Replace it anyway ?

    Yes, if you plan on getting a 3070 (good luck with that ;) ), a 650w PSU is ideal. You didn't say in your OP what GPU you were planning on. I have a 3070/5600X and the max power draw during my most demanding game is 328w at the wall, so a 650w is perfect to get in that 50% efficiency area. I...

  29. Question GT 710 ... "Gaming Edition"? Is THAT what we've come to? (2GB GDDR5 version)

    The mentality I'm thinking is most prevalent right now is the price of Ethereum (currently at $2,304 USD and rising). I've seen difficulty increase off and on, but it hasn't been steady. Basically when I was cashing out for the last few months, as the price rises, I get more cash, pretty...

  30. Question XFX XTR 550 Watt is 6 years old, Runs Fine, Replace it anyway ?

    Just keep using it, why not? I still have two old PSU's running, one is almost 16 years old. This PSU 'destroying your system' is overblown nonsense IMO. I've never had a PSU failure, period. I swear some guys must be taking them in the tub with them or something ;)

  31. Question GT 710 ... "Gaming Edition"? Is THAT what we've come to? (2GB GDDR5 version)

    The real issue is miners using bots right now to buy ALL of the cards that come available.

  32. Question What monitor would be right for me?

    I have a 32" IPS monitor (this one: https://www.costco.ca/lg-32-in.-qhd-ips-freesync-monitor-(2560-×-1440).product.100514955.html) and I think it's great (I paid $269 CAD/$204 USD). It has really nice colour and clarity. The 1050 may have trouble with the resolution depending on the game...

  33. Question Recommendation for a new power supply

    My old, cheap OCZ PSU in my other mining rig disagrees ;)

  34. Question Recommendation for a new power supply

    I keep hearing this, yet 32 years and counting, never experienced these supposed PSU 'meltdowns', with cheap or good PSUs...

  35. Question GT 710 ... "Gaming Edition"? Is THAT what we've come to? (2GB GDDR5 version)

    For sure, there are lots of games in my Steam library that ran at over 100 fps at 1440p with it. It's just surprising as it's really no good for mining with only 3GB, and I basically got exactly what I paid for it when I bought it new in 2016. I probably could have got another $50 or more if I...

  36. Question GT 710 ... "Gaming Edition"? Is THAT what we've come to? (2GB GDDR5 version)

    Did that actually work? I didn't pay much above MSRP for either of my newer cards ($629 USD for EVGA 3070 Ultra XC3, $492 USD for ASUS TUF 3060ti) but she had a huge issue at even those prices. She could care less when I showed her what they were going for on EBay, or the fact that I sold my...

  37. Question Do you think GPU stock/prices will get back to normal before end of the year?

    Delete.

  38. Ethereum GPU mining?

    As it did in 1986, 1999, and 2007... ;) Stock markets going through the roof without the economics to support it is not a good thing.

  39. Ethereum GPU mining?

    The way governments are printing money, and the fact that the US government did absolutely nothing to prevent another crash because it's completely owned by Wall Street (i.e. zero new legislation enacted) means that there is going to be another one much larger than the last. This time there...

  40. Question What are go to power supplies, one for low req, one mid

    Johnny Guru is no-more...off to work for Corsair. He loved the RMx series as I recall. I'm either really lucky or very good at picking PC components...I like to believe the latter ;). I've never had a component die in over 30 years, knock on wood. Just a single Seagate 320 GB HDD that got...
