remember watching Tribes clan battles, felt like the first real eSport game for FPS
Yeah I was in =V= base and ^VoN^ UR with Kudochop not sure if he posts here still. Crazy to think we were teenagers in the clan with all the adults. Now those motherfuckers are in their mid-50s.

I don't know what is happening in Norway. Any graphics card at all is pretty much just gone from all stores.

Our largest online retailer currently have

PNY Quadro P2200 5GB (22 available)

Matrox M9140 512MB DDR2 (2 available)

PNY Quadro P400 2GB DVI (1 available)


The second largest retailer has

HP NVIDIA Quadro P2200 5GB (3 available)

HP NVIDIA Quadro P620 2GB (20 available)

HP NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 (8 available)

Any sort of "regular" card hasn't been in stock for months except a few 3090s that were available in December.

Do bitcoin miners still use graphics cards? Could that be a thing since everything is gone?

golem.de reported a few months back that as a matter of fact the 30 series is excellent for mining crytpo.

I wonder though, isn't that community public as well, wouldn't they openly talk about their mining setups?

It's about the same in Texas, can't find anything at all, even previous gen.

Best Buy prob is the best option. I'm still on the EVGA list as of mid October so I might be willing to re-sell to someone here for a minor profit rather than letting the spot go to waste.

The used stuff has been between $1100-1300 on the 3090s. I was kinda tempted to try one since the Amazon warehouse has a 30 day return policy but I was nervous about getting a card that worked on install but died two months in. The amazon warehouse return policy doesnt guarantee a manufacturer warranty so you could possibly end up getting boned.

Mate bought a 2070 from Amazon warehouse, he was gloating to me that he paid 60% of the cost of mine. That fucker started artifacting after 2-3 months lol. Weird as fuck at the time too as he said it came from Ukraine or some place odd in Eastern Europe (we are both in the UK).

No question there are bargains on the Amazon Warehouse like cases with small imperfections and what have you. I bought a Samsung monitor in 2011 from the warehouse and that's still attached to my Dad's pc and going strong.

Not worth it for top end stuff imo.

Monitors seem to be hit or miss in general. I lifted a Dell 30" 2560x1600 display from work that is dated like 2008 and it's running perfectly fine on my wife's computer, on the other hand I've seen insane numbers of Dell 22" FHD displays have massive off-color issues, sometimes even to the point where they just turn blue forever that are dated 2013...

Bought a Dell 24" 2407 WFP Ultrasharp for $700 back in 2007. I still use it as a side monitor and it still is better than commodity monitors you can get today. Runs way hotter though!

Code:

To this day no other monitor I've ever seen can render dark games as well as it can. Even the 34" gaming monitor I bought a year ago for $763 (which is better in basically every other respect) has more trouble with really dark scenes.

An entire thread of people with a roller coaster of emotions and effort to buy a buncha shit they don’t need and lives ruined by not getting it. What would Tyler durden have to say about this
Bro didn’t you buy a bullet proof vest to just wear around in public recently? Remember all those stash tabs we bought in POE that we didn’t fill with loot that wouldn’t drop for us? Don’t shame people for the useless stuff they buy!

Yeah I'm sure there are a lot of displays with superior low-light contrast. I've just never seen one in person that can handle this problem:

better than my ol' 2407 WFP. When I used those game config UIs where you slide the bar left or right and stop when you can differentiate all the images I could often move it all the way to the dark and still see them all.

Welp i wanted to stop my PT minor scalping but getting $800 for 3070FEs makes it hard to not do it for kicks. I dont need the money but i also cant stop myself when BB makes it so easy to grab a few. Ideally id get a 3080FE and just stop but since im still looking for one im forced to keep going back to BB website for drops.
I've been using Hardware Swap... have a Zotac 3070 and XC3 Ultra 3070 coming in, and intend to throw both up on there for $800 shipped.

I just sold 2 FEs for 800 each local - I have a white zotac 3070 coming in i will toss up for 850 - My goal is still to land some 3080 FEs on the next BB drop

The white zotac was 659 i think - i generally add $200 to any card to sell - this is why i wouldnt even try a 3090 as the price is already stupid - i can sel 6800XTs for 900-950 so those technically sell better so long as i can get the ref model at $650. People still sleep on the 6800XT but considering not many people play at 4k anyways its still the best imo for non DLSS/RT gaming which is generally most games.

The best cards to sell for profit will be the FEs until those take a price hike too.
