Thats the 'Asus tax' that you would have to pay if want top tier parts. Thats why you should go for their flagship ie 4090 cuz then you will be happy that nothing else will top it for the meantime since AMD gave up chasing the 4090 series. However even lower models has their benefits as you can OC the shit from any Strix and often can match the next tier level.

Depends on the market, generally global market prices are tiered more sensibly



But yes, Strix are crazy money in anywhere and which is why they are halo products and people who buys them either has a use case for its capabilities or having too much money. Its like the AMG for Mercedes.

Not quite right.

If that 3070 comes with 200HP
And that Strix comes standard with 170HP but it is alwiz tunable to 199HP

Sure you wont outrun the 3070 but it gets dang near it for a far much more cheaper price.

Thats the value proposition of Strix

That's like saying people who wants to buy Mercedes should just get S Class because getting a C or A Class meant your a poser who isn't rich enough to get a real Merc. There are people who sees value differently, moreso in Western countries where the price gap between an Asus and say a Zotac isn't that a huge difference for it to be unaffordable. As always buy what one can afford and not being envious for those who could afford something better.

Hahaha except that I fell for the opposite side of the scale and instead got my 3060Ti from a relatively obscure brand: Manli.
Here is my review of it https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5341702

Some people just wants to diss others for owning a rolex because they could only own a cap ayam. Always envious never contend with they have. Ukur baju di badan sendiri 

But but, 2nd hand later afraid mining card
That's what stopping me to buy 2nd rtx 3080

i could not find angle adaptor for RTX3 series FE.

do they exist?

Hi. Anyone with 4070 and above GPU here? I got a Diablo 4 nvidia bundle key and I will need someone with a 4000 series to claim it.

Willing to pay some 'yamcha' money for the help

this cablemod custom cable, mean direct from PSU model to gpu? not extension ?

Even CableMod adapter cannot tame the heat.

Damn, nowadays my computer (see signature) crashes a lot when playing games (Guild Wars 2 and Genshin Impact) and need to cut power to restart the system. The crashes will only go away once I use Afterburner to lower GPU power limit to something like in the picture below.

[attachmentid=11484536]

At first lowering the limit to 90% works, but later like this week, the crashes returns and I have to lower the power limit even further to stop the crashes.

Is this a sign of a dying PSU? If yes, from https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ the Corsair RMe 1000W or NZXT  C Gold 1200W are good replacements right?

Yes graphics cards have issues already

Hey guys, I have a Palit 3070 that is experiencing crashing and artifacts across multiple games. Sent back for RMA twice via Idealtech, both times card returned to me with no difference. Do I have any choice but to keep RMAing? Is there any way to request a replacement since they dont seem to be able to repair the GPU? My warranty only lasts another 2 months nd I’m worried

First time hearing about Suncycle. Are they the Palit supplier and RMA handler in Malaysia? Can just use the RMA portal on their site even though I bought thru Idealtech?

I recently bought the RTX 4070 SUPER new for RM2.9K (OG MSRP was 3.4K, but they had a RM90 for 900 discount going on then) during the 2.2 Sales on Lazada.

It's the Gigabyte Eagle OC ICE Edition since it was one of the few models that i could trust to fit my case, and also decent enough in build quality. I intentionally avoided shorter cards like the MSI Ventus 2X since they are notoriously poor in component and build quality.

The card itself took 3 long weeks to arrive due to stock and availability issues. Apparently 4070 SUPERs are selling like hot cakes according to the vendor i was in touch with after they announced the shipping delay to me. For that price though, i was willing to wait.

I avoided the Ventus 2x even though it's much shorter since i read that MSI really cheaped out on components and the build quality is awful for the Ventus 2x line up for Ada in general.

Moving up from Turing, Ada is quite mind blowing to me in terms of how power efficient it is.

After using MSI Afterburner to undervolt and oc the VRAM, i can get faster than stock performance for less than 50% the stock TDP.

220W is baseline, after the tweaks it only consumes 140-150W at full load or so, but in actual gaming at 1440p60 locked it barely touches 70-100W most of the time.

At the 220W baseline TDP with 1.1V, the card can be pushed to beyond 4070TI stock performance with a simple 150 core clock OC and a +2000MHz MEM OC. The GDDR6X VRAM surprised me at how it was able to be pushed (almost 20% higher than stock). 

Overall I am quite satisfied with the performance of this card in general at the target resolution i'm using which is 1440p.

You seriously want to put your bet against Techspot/HUB?

is there a subforum for AI processing? Im struggling to run OmniGen on 3080 . 10GB RAM...

whats the highest RAM that is reasonably priced?
