MX-4 would be be perfectly fine, but the only MX-5 I know of is a Miata, so please don't repaste your GPU with one of those. Failing that, it might be the card itself failing. It's a bad time for that, as you may have noticed, but I'd rule out the other possibilities first.

EVGA questions! I realize I can probably look this up myself if I had more time, but I was hoping someone might know off the top of their head: I forgot/didn't think to purchase an Extended Warranty for my 3070; how long do I have after the purchase date to do that? This question is where I might like some thread input now . . . what would the thread consider to be the "better deal", so to speak? By that, I mean which length of warranty. At least for the standard warranty, I've had to use that once and when I sent in a 970, they deemed it to be toast and I got a 1060 6GB back, which I felt was pretty swell of them. However, I'm sure at some point things would phase far enough out that I would probably get back like an xx30 or something, which . . . probably not really useful. Unless that's not how it works at all and I'm missing something here.

At stock numbers after the initial three year warranty is up how much longer is it going to be before you move up to something else? These aren't likely to be as viable as long as the 1080ti was. If you're overclocking, the five year is worth it maybe? I genuinely can't remember when I used a graphics card longer than that. I felt like I was stuck on my 660 forever but that was just shy of four.

I think the cable(s) is OK because I've had other cards working with the same HDMI and same PSU. I was wondering why MX-5 felt so weird to type. I'm in the UK and the top result for MX-5 would involve sandwiching a car between the die and shroud. e: Miata = Mazda. I didn't know that. e2: Miata is actually the model. apropos man fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Jan 25, 2021 |

But I agree; I know some people like getting the super extended warranties, but I can't see myself holding on to a card for 6+ years hoping that it'll break so I can try to get EVGA to trade me up to a newer/better card. Also it's worth checking out the policies of whatever credit card you used to purchase it: some of them offer 12-24 months extended warranty anyhow.

My PS4 did the same thing and I thought it was cooked, but nope swapping the cable cleared everything up. And yeah, just giving you a hard time, you'd for sure need a new GPU if you got a Miata involved.

If a GPU breaks it is way more likely to break in the standard warranty period. If it survives outside of that it's probably going to keep trucking for years, and not die until it was pretty obsolete anyway. Keep in mind that if they do send a replacement it will be similar performance, not the same model. You usually still get an upgrade but right now if someone were to RMA a 1080 they'd probably get a 3060, not a 3080.

Okay so I've come into possession of a 3080 which I no longer have use for (it's a long story). It cost me 1100 dollars and I just want to recoup my money. It works, it's an EVGA XC3 Ultra. What is the safest way to sell it, to make sure that I don't get scammed (i.e. someone buys it and then says it's broken to swap it with a broken one or just doesn't pay me or some other kind of sketchy thing)?

In-person via FB Marketplace or Craigslist, or SA-Mart.

Also try r/hardwareswap and do an in person cash exchange. Unfortunately, when you do a paypal transaction, Paypal will side with buyers 99% of the time in a dispute.

My Asus 3080 Strix OC does something weird sometimes, it seems to happen when I manually overclock it and requires a shutdown of the pc to resolve it. It gets into a state when performance is very very bad but clock rate is still in the normal range (1900-2050). The power usage is very low though, like 120-200 watts. I'm going to try running it completely stock for a few days to see if it happens naturally. My gut tells me that not all the cores are operating but I don't know if that makes sense. I tried a clean driver install and that didn't help. Has anyone seen this before?

Subjunctive posted:In-person via FB Marketplace or Craigslist, or SA-Mart. This. Cash is about the only thing that can't be reversed or otherwise put an account of yours at risk. I will note that there doesn't seem to be a rash of people trying to dick around with eBay sales right now (there are some people still trying to bid auctions up to like $10k and then never pay, but BIN ones seem to largely be unaffected). Any 3080 right now would be under original warranty, anyhow, so there'd be little reason to go through the risk/hassle of a switcheroo like that with a broken one. As long as you don't ship until eBay says "Paid; Ship now!" you can't get scammed for non-payment. The only real risk is them claiming "item not as described" and then sending you back a brick or something, but I've yet to hear that actually happening--right now it seems that eBay buyers are overwhelmingly people who just want cards and aren't willing to / can't sit home playing the F5/Discord game.

Rinkles posted:Why is SA considered safe? Goons are mostly decent people/care about their accounts? Pretty much. The $10 tax to get in filters out a lot of the scammers. It's still possible to be a dick and do an "item not as described" then send you a brick scam through PayPal, but it simply doesn't happen very often. If you look back through this thread, there are dozens of goons providing "finder" services to others and no one has come back with a horror story yet.

Even if someone did end up getting scammed, I would pretty much assume we would immediately have a bunch of goons pooling money to bail out whoever got scammed. More than anything else, goons are just old posters who don't have time for your typical nonsense. It's not your typical churn of people coming and going like Reddit.

I'm gonna say avoid craigslist. Apparently it's way, way less popular than facebook marketplace and everyone is just offering me $300 for my 1080 ti's. I might say gently caress it and build my own mining rig or something equally stupid. e: my coworker that is basically a scalper but "only" adds $100 to his total cost for cards told me he doesn't even bother with craigslist any more.

It depends a lot on the city but yeah Craigslist is really dying outside of niche stuff. It's too bad, it was my preferred way of buying/selling with randos and hoping not to get stabbed.

Cash only, no trades, price is firm. Dont hold items waiting for people who dont show up. I tell them and the 3 other that people want this, whoever arrives first with the money gets it and everyone else gets told to go home. Only 1 person ever shows up. Its 5v1 wasting your time to actual buyers contacting you on CL

Yeah, I mean FB Marketplace has a ton of exposure to people, but a lot of those people are bored moms and rando kids and whatnot that are going to message you asking if you could cut the price in half because it's their birthday or whatever. Every sales venue sucks, they just suck differently depending on what you're selling and where.

I've sold so much poo poo on fb marketplace over the past 3 months: a Switch, Mobo, monitor, games, a controller, a phone, oculus rift s, a 3ds, a sky 3ds card, sure you get a lot of people low balling you, or you get the ever popular "is this still available" "sure is" "*silence". just meet at like a grocery store or something and if you're nervous about it bring a friend. Yeah craigslist sucks now, I don't even bother looking for cars there anymore, too much garbage, can't see the mileage until you click the link, have to call or text a random person, FB is nice because you can look at the person's profile and poo poo and decide if you trust them, craigslist, I've ended up at so many sketchy houses to look at a car that ended up having a junkyard engine or oh btw you're gonna need a new head gasket like get hosed. also make sure they show you the money, make sure the money doesn't say "for motion picture use only" poo poo was uncommon but happened when I worked in pizza delivery. runaway dog fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jan 25, 2021 |

I finally had time to sit down and OC my 3060ti today. I have it holding steady at +188MHz core clock and +710MHz memory clock. Added like 1000 to my Time Spy benchmark. I was disappointed to settle for the 3060 when I got it but this OC was much better than I expected. I think I could probably push the memory clock a little more but I’m pretty happy with it.

I had a 2070S and that was great for 1440p though that may change in the near future. The 3060ti has also been serving me well. The 3070 is probably the ideal if you can get one though.
