What are even the GPU prices at this point?
TheawesomeMCB replied to TheawesomeMCB's topic in Graphics Cards
Yeah you see what I’m saying. Something doesn’t make sense here. -
So as we all know with the tax thing going on that happened not too long ago. But something still doesn’t add up so decided to ask here. So let’s take for example a 3070 and a 1080 ti. So we know when the 3070 released it was priced around $500. However due to scalpers and possibly because of the tax increase that is no longer really the case. So at this point what would a 3070 FE cost if it would be in stock? Because on Best Buy it still says $500 but still out of stock of course. now if you look on eBay you can see the 1080 ti used for like $500 - $600 with auctions. Now if you rec

Why 5400 RPM past 2TB on most drives
TheawesomeMCB replied to TheawesomeMCB's topic in Storage Devices
Ahhh that makes sense, thanks! -
So I've been looking to replace the HDD in my computer because of the amount of noise it makes. However I've noticed something that I don't fully understand. Popular drives from seagate and the WD Blue (Past 1 TB for WD and Past 2TB for seagate) have their RPM slowed down to 5400 RPM and their cache lowered. However I don't see too many complaints. But with the Black friday deal of 4TB 5400 RPM for the WD Blue it's a really good deal but I don't understand. Drives like the wd black gaming drive is 4tb but it's $120 on black friday and has 4x the cache and 7200 RPM, so why isn't it the 7200 lik

Yes you are reading this correctly. I've noticed that ever since I've installed the rtx 3070 I've been getting BSOD. I did a clean instillation of the drivers. DDU causes more problems when trying to uninstall and it got so bad I had to use a system restore point to get it fully stabilized again. How do I know that it's the Nvidia driver? Well like I said in the title I kept getting bluescreens so I decided to pull up WhoCrashed and this is what I'm getting: On Fri 11/13/2020 10:31:12 PM your computer crashed or a problem was reported crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP This wa

Merge 2 of the paritions on the same drive
TheawesomeMCB replied to TheawesomeMCB's topic in Storage Devices
So backup the data and then delete the partitions then restore the files? -
So for some reason I'm getting 2 D drives in my disk management on the same drive after I expanded it. Is there a way to fix it so it looks like one or am I just screwed?

So on my machine I'm running out of storage, and with the great timing of amazon prime day I decided to upgrade my storage for more games. So is the Seagate BarraCuda 4TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB Cache (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D9C7SQH/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_jXLHFb4A3G602) a good choice? I know that it's best to get at least 7200 RPM but I heard there is more to the drive than RPM. I just need more for games and VM's and all that. Since it's the same size as the 2 TB but had double the storage but spins slower will I see any difference really? Also

Scalpers Sell $1200+ Preorders of GeForce RTX 3080
TheawesomeMCB replied to Shizzmoney's topic in Tech News
Oof to the scalpers! Probably is against Ebay's EULA and/or TOS but tbh the scalpers deserve it. This post is gone off the Nvidia fourms but I managed to get a screenshot before the OP or the Admin's deleted it. -

Alright thank you so much!

Ah okay, that’s good thanks, and with pcie 3 will I see a performance hit at all?

So I’m hoping after the rtx 3070 comes out for awhile that I’ll upgrade to it due to the price. However I have some concerns. 1. I have a 650W power supply. My cpu is amd ryzen 5 3600, 32gb 3200 ram, 4 storage drives, and a 5 usb pcie card, and I want to know if that’s going to be enough power for it. The power supply has 2 6+2 power connectors. I did hear that it does come with an adapter so I’m not worried about connectivity to the graphics card. I’m just wondering if the 3070 is too much for my power supply. The only change I made to my cpu is it is set to run at the max turbo 4.2ghz a
