And now you understand why they are taking a loss. This may change in the near future, but those people that were able to buy at MSRP or near price were really happy. Hmmm. Doesthismeans MSRP cards willbe $825 witht the tariff? And the custom Asus cards at $1000 will be $1250 without scalping? Not sure, but if they have to pay more then the cost is 100% past on to the customer. How much to the customer is based on projected margins I would gather.

You are forgetting. Companies are in the market to make money, not break even my friend. So they have their own base markup price. This seems to be the part everyone keeps forgetting about. MSRP is also on a sliding scale. due to what is going on in the world. And people selling these things are not going to just constantly take a loss to please the masses. They have people to feed as well. @Papusan I had quite the conversations with people in the know today and it was a bit enlighting. Also, Santa Clara store is on hold because of the city not honoring something the store had in place before they bought the building back.

The ones that were supposed to be marked at 749.99 were indeed 749.99 and they took a loss in doing so. They had cards in a few ranges below 950.00. Mine was 999 though. You can thank tariffs and how much MC paid for the cards for the price increase, but MC talked it over with corporate and went ahead and lowered certain cards back to what they were set for MSRP. Those cards sold around 5:30 am this morning. I was there for something else and they were like you missed it. LOL Then I came back for some other parts and one of the guys said a truck just showed up. So I asked and they gave me a voucher. Told me they only had the Tuff card. I said i'll take it for now. The guy behind me was like...Wait, what, they have cards. And quickly bought one.

Walked in about 4:15 pm and happened to grab this while getting stuff for my customers. Edit: Well this card definitely has some overclocking room. I will stay that much. https://www.3dmark.com/search#advanced?test=sw P&cpuId=&gpuId=1696&gpuCount=0&gpuType=ALL&deviceType=ALL&storageModel=ALL&showRamDisks=false&memoryChannels=0&country=&scoreType=overallScore&hofMode=false&showInvalidResults=false&freeParams=&minGpuCoreClock=&maxGpuCoreClock=&minGpuMemClock=&maxGpuMemClock=&minCpuClock=&maxCpuClock=

I was curious because I haven't done a shunt mod in a really long time. And I do remember trying both methods when I did. I totally sucked at using LM, but my soldering skills we a little bit better.

So with all that card moving he is doing in the video, how is the LM holding the 5 chips to the board or the uneven chips underneath them? 12:20 If he did, that is one hell of a good job! Edit: Doesn't LM eat up the solder? So leaving this on a shunt for long term would be bad right? Or did that change over the last few years?

Use point 11:01 and 11:43 time stamp in the video. He either removed the 4 shuts(?) or added on top of them. I think it's on top. And the one on back bottom right corner is changed. My chip seems to tap out at 5.750 Ghz unless i start going negative temps I suspect.

Got a little higher last night/this morning.

That makes sense that it may be IS only x8, but I never paid it any mind before now.

No drivers because I'm not in windows. This is just booting to the bios. Just found another one and that one does boot X16. The one in question is the the MSI 4060 No connector damage. Release works perfectly fine.

Soooooooo, I noticed that my GPU was not running in X16 mode and decided to investigate. Low and behold, it's stuck there! There is nothing attached and no drives installed. I booted factory bios 0513 and updated bios 1401. I inserted and removed m.2 drives in the m.2_3/m.2_4 slots to make sure it wasn't miss reading these as active. Did the same for slots m.2_1/m.2_2 to make sure it was actually reading them the same. Removed the CPU fully and reinstalled it. Check bios setting to make sure it was set for X16 GPU and Gen 5 then Gen 4. Removed and reinserted GPU 3 times in first PCIe slot🤦‍♂️ And this thing will not not change. Posting this here and on OC net

No where remotely close to Sugi, but at least I did break 47K

I have to agree. I don't know what it is, but things just seem to open and close really quick. Along with the system seeming snappier for being slower than a 14900KS.

Went ahead and decided to get a Z890/285K setup to tinker with. SP=83 P87/E83 Also, my 4060 does not have the ECC setting on this version of Windows/NVCP either.

I checked with my MC and yes, there is a small line camped out front. Might pop up over in a few days to see if anyone is still waiting.

No love! The last time I played on a Play Station was when we were on a 130 game win streak (COD) and Play Station networked crashed right after that. Went to Xbox after that and never looked back. I did have a PS2 in the car for my kid back in the day though.

I already have $500 sitting there waiting on an Xbox Series X. Or the next gen console, but we shall see as it's suppose to drop this year. Thanks to leaks that set the game back 2 years so far.😂

Hate to break it to you, but GTA 6 will not be on PC when it releases.

Yes, that is correct with my current setup. And I had to find that answer online at the time. It surely is NOT worth the current price with of course taxes. Personal bills are far more important than entertainment cost that may or may not be entertaining enough to warrant the purchase!

Ah, okay. I was wondering about that. I know what you mean. I don't really notice anything unless i drop it down to some like 4.0 ghz or something like that. I do have to lower it 5.0 ghz for COD else COD won't even load up. And some other game that I can't think of at the moment.

Wait, you have a Z890 Apex?

@electrosoft Next time you're on FO76 let me know as I do play that.

Happy Saturday to you to sir. I was debating on going with that CPU or just keep sitting on mine. So it's clock locked. How does it fair with 3d benching? Better or worse than the 14900KS? I still have like a year and some change left on the warranty. Was trying to see if the 285K made some type of a break through, but it would seem it's still basically sitting in the same position as when it first showed up.

I think i'll grab one for about 2 weeks to just run some fast benchmarks then take it back and get a 5080 and call it a day. We'll see though. What's your take on the 9950X though? Edit: I Looked at Ebay to check their prices and "sold" cards and like 90% of them are lying. They haven't sold anything. They make it look like they have sold a card to try and get suckers to buy. I thought that was funny.
