The only thing Intel has going for them is availability, but even that is getting difficult for them to claim because the 5000 series availability is becoming better and better.
No its not, still cant find a 5900X under 800$

True, the 5900x and 5950x are still scarce. 5600x and 5800x have become more regularly available.
Posted on 3/13/21 at 6:51 pm to boXerrumble
Yeah 56 and 5800X's are staying in stock at most places now. Even Amazon.

Venting a bit - been trying to get a 3060TI or 3070 FE for months like everyone else and the last two BB drops happened while I was in an area with zero service calling on customers

What Twitter accounts are y’all following for GPU drops?

I stopped bothering keeping up with it. I've given up on the 3000 series cards.
Gonna skip this series of AMD cards too. My 2070 Super runs all of my games at maxed settings at 1080p, so if anything I'm thinking my next upgrade will be a new monitor before I go with a new graphics card.
As a side note, for anyone in this thread that has bought a B550/X570 series motherboard that has the Realtek 2.5 GB LAN chip, Realtek has finally identified that the random disconnect issues were due to their drivers, rather than it being on the motherboard vendor's side.
They just posted a new driver on their site, 10.047, which has complete stability, if you disable the following settings through device manager (credit the posters on the MSI and Tweaktown forums for this):
Flow Control - Disabled
Interrupt Moderation - Disabled
Large Send Offload (IPv4) - Disabled
Large Send Offload (IPv6) - Disabled
Realtek confirmed their next driver version release, assumingly 10.048, will have a permanent fix without needing the above settings disabled.

AMD kind of screwed the pooch a bit with a $479 MSRP, it's a $449 MSRP card at best in reality. But hey, pricing doesnt matter at all right now anyways so, who cares

Yeah if they would have at least priced it at roughly the same MSRP at the 5700XT, it wouldn't be a bad buy at all.
Now though... Yeesh. I wouldn't get a 6700XT over a 3060ti.

Since you don't respond to anything else, what case/container did you purchase about 1yr ago with the clear/glass top for graded cards?
Can you repost?

You gotta be fricking kidding me

I thought it was a case where cards later out vertical, and could fit graded cards.
Maybe it wasn't you, nice box though

It probably was me that posted it, but I can't find them anymore on ebay for some reason

I mean if it was a $399 MSRP card it would be an amazing value, but AMD is turning way too much into this "premium brand" now so it kinda sucks from that POV.
I got my 5700XT back in summer 2019 for $350 on a $50 off microcenter deal.
A 6700XT is roughly 25-30% faster than a 5700 XT looks like @ 1080p/1440p, but...is 20% higher MSRP too. Or costs 37% more than I paid for my 5700 XT 2 years ago almost. Holy cow, even at normal pricing there's no reason for me to upgrade, what a shitty value

Posted on 3/17/21 at 1:53 pm to bluebarracuda
Yeah same here, I find some similar, but not exactly the same.
Have you ever messed with bots to win auctions? About to set-up on an extra pi just to run ebay boys and PayPal payments.

Not really. There are free snipe tools you can use, which are just as easy, and then pay for the items after you win within eBay

I want to begin flipping base cards. Really just base rookies before the ramp up at the start of 2021 season.
