no update i see.
last i heard about the discord server, it's been deleted. apparently, the goku dude that created it got doxed. he slobbed on mtech's knob so much it started to make people sick. it didn't help that he volunteered himself to be the middle man between mtech and his customers.
Goku was always nice to me, but him trying to pressure people into leaving fake reviews jumped the shark for me

Damn, I do not remember you buying used GPUs previously.
It's been a while since I've bought a video card. I was on a 2080 that I got new and then bought a lightly used 3070 off of Facebook back in 2020
RAM and SSDs are probably the only things I buy new since they sell so close to their retail value used

I see. I smoke a lot of weed so hard to remember less important stuff.

My whole server rack is basically full of old used shite I get off of ebay for good deals

for anyone looking for a Gigabyte 3060 Ti LHR card (hynix memory), i've got one i'm getting rid of. HiveOS doesn't like it. never plugged it into a windows computer.

Another Amazon 3070 drop for $649.99.

Are things slowly getting better? The local Microcenter has the 3070 Ti for $830. And the 3080 Ti for $1250.

Yes, much better. Almost back to normal price wise.
Been multiple drops lately with 3070s and 3070ti's under $700.

best buy dropping the garbage cards right now
Posted on 3/29/22 at 2:03 pm to finchmeister08
What is considered the garbage cards? the LHR models? or non FE?
Posted on 3/29/22 at 2:22 pm to pmacattack
everything but FE
Posted on 3/29/22 at 2:26 pm to pmacattack
Don't mind Finch he's just talking resale. Only FE has good value still.
AIB cards are much better than reference if you're keeping.

Not sure I would concede that point

What do you mean? It has always been that way.
Just because they finally stopped making total shite coolers for decent ones they still aren't better than AIB models in thermals or OC headroom or base clocks.

You said the AIB models are “much better”. In reality, the FE models are fairly middle of the pack in raw performance and tend to be excellent in price to performance ratios.
Eta: the 30 series FE cards aren’t actually reference cards, and we shouldn’t use those terms interchangeably, lest we confuse people.

Right, there are a TON of AIB models so being middle of the pack is behind a lot of cards. Majority of AIB cards are better and always have been better.
For example there are several AIB 3080's that run as much as 16 degrees cooler than the 3080 FE, all at a quieter noise db levels too. You can take the blower out, but it's also still kinda there in terms of still hotter and louder.
The FE's score around 3-5 FPS lower than AIB models while running hotter and louder.
