I manhandled the **** out of this ssd and broke it. Does it look repairable?

Mind blown if we can get away with a 3080 for 4K gaming on the latest titles, brb chopping like $800 of what I originally estimated for the next build

[Coal Man]

Lots of GPU talk ITT.

I'm having some issues boys and it's making me rage hard. I play Dota 2 and the game needs lots of clicks and they need to be precise. Been using a basic computer mouse ever since but they go bad so easily and then eventually stop registering clicks sometimes, double clicking etc. Chit is making me rage and I need a good mouse. Can someone recommend one from logitech or steelseries?

[Austanian]

The Logitech G Pro wireless is pretty much the king... A lot of it is personal preference.

However, if you are using a "normal mouse" spending $130 on a mouse seems a bit overkill.

The Corsair Harpoon Wireless was my compromise very solid for $50.

Yeah I just want a high tier one that's comfortable and lasts. Also I prefer wired. That's just my jam. Thanks brah will look into it.

Those mice use the USB charging cable as a real cable so you never have to wireless if you don't want, but it is an option.

Mice size, weight, and button configurations have a lot of options. Would just go to bestbuy and feel them up. Probably your best bet.

Would a 3700x likely bottleneck a new 3070 or 3080

[Azzurri]

What the fuc is up with everything be sold out. Trying to find a TKL mechanical keyboard and literally all the 'highly rated' ones are sold out. From Corsair. HyperX, Ducky, ect.

Not if you're playing at the resolutions you should be with those cards.

Yes and no...

Intel tends to squeeze out a few extra frames all else being equal.

If you are on a 3080 or 3070 the few extra frames at 1440p or 4k won't be noticeable.

bro just buy an anne pro 2 off amazon

awesome keyboard

ok sweet, i play at 1080p and dont really plan on going beyond that until 240hz 1440p arent like 700 dollars

At 1080P you're going to see some serious bottle necking with a 3700X and a 3080.

I wouldn't bother with a 3070 or 3080 for 1080P personally.

This... a 2060 can get most games at 1080P ultra 144.

Pick up a used 2070/2070s off ebay for $250 in a few months after the 3000 series resets prices.

how come

I currently get 200-300 maxed on cs and valorant, obviously more frames here would be pointless but why would 1080p bottleneck more than say 1440p

Is it some sort of diminishing returns type thing where the cpu can only handle so many frames even though it could be more stressed

I have a 2060super so basically a 2070 currently

[R3L3NTL3SS]

So I'm going to build my son a PC for Christmas.
Don't want to wait too long and risk things being OOS before Christmas, but also don't want to order parts too soon and not be able to return/swap possible DoA parts. Wot do?

On that note, any of you coming off of an RTX 2000 card for a good price and going to RTX 3000? (Looking for a 2060 or possibly 2070 if price is right.)

[MrJensenn]

Picked up a Zotac 3080 Trinity, pre-VAT with rebates I got it for 575 bucks
Was a few minutes late to get the first batch, current ETA is 26.9.

Jealous.

[MrJensenn]

They hiked the price up almost 100 bucks 30 minutes after I bought ^.^
(I had a 10% coupon that I could apply + 4% cashback).

Now I just had to assess if my PSU actually had enough cables to run it, the curse of still using a bronze psu (CX750M) I bought when I was on a shoestring budget.
I think I am in the clear though, saw on Paul's hardware that Zotac had adapters in the box (8x to molex) so that it might run fine.

[InstantLoser]

[MrJensenn]

On our local "craigslist" 3080s are going for 1050-1200 bucks.
Still not confirmed that I'll get mine this week, they haven't received a shipment from Zotac yet, and they have stopped taking new orders.

TLDR version:

The human eye isn't very good at telling frame differences post 120 hz.

The CPU draws the lines (and deals with enemy behaviors) and the GPU paints it.

The 2060S has more than enough juice to paint at 1080p 144+. Beyond that the CPU will start to choke on managing the lines and behaviors beyond a certain FPS and you won't get gains anymore.


I am buying a 3070 for 1080P gaming, but that is only because I am planning on buying a 1440p monitor after.

[elterrible987]

cool looks a lot like castlevania II

ahhh neat

Yeah I dont plan on upgrading anytime soon as i get 300 fps in csgo and valorant but I want to keep this cpu for at least 5 years and will probably get a new gpu in a couple

[MrJensenn]

Hahahaha, got my updated delivery date... 2. December.

The positive... I'll get to see what AMD delivers and I might be able to see what 3060Ti or 3070 actually delivers.

Yeah I'm a big Castlevania fan.

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Got done with my 10 year old son's Christmas PC last night. It's pretty solid for the games he plays.

Ryzen 3400G
EVGA GTX 1080
16GB Corsair Dominator ram
1tb SSD

Runs all his games at 120 frames on high settings. Fortnite needed a little bit of settings played with to do 120 without dips. I think he'll be happy with it.

On another note, the Cougar MX330-G Air is an AIDS case to build in. Looks wise, it's fantastic for the money, especially considering it comes with 3 120MM LED fans pre installed and I was surprised to see that at $52, the side panel is real glass, not acrylic. But that's literally all the good I can say about it.

[eod8989]

My setup. Waiting eagerly for the 3080 so i can run everything at 1440p 144hz and 4k 60+ hz

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Is 3080 necessary for a casual gamer ?

Short and simple answer: hell no.

Assuming you're just playing at 1080p, buy something like a 1660 Super, RTX 2060, GTX 1080 and you'll be set for 1080p gaming.

wtf is the point of spending thousands on a PC just to game at poverty console specs? 4k or nothing.
