Time for new GPU

Good call, I'm really baffled how you can rekt card so fast.

>from a pirated game from a shady source.
How does a game kill a GPU?
It shouldn't be possible unless it's changing settings in the bio's or get into it's ram or something.
Never heard of it happen.

you fucking what

bitminers

That's sort of amazing, in a retarded way

I don't play online it's pointless to me I don't get it.
If it's a twitch shooter I just get it's a bit memed because I get 30-2 average

I have no idea why it shit out. I don't mine and never overclocked it. The fan started running kind of fucked up so I took it in for warranty service and when I got it back it was completely fucked. It's in an alienware Aurora r9 if that matters.

>Alienware
lol
lmao even

Well if your gpu died I guess you cant wait for 4xxx series. Depends on the price , unless price difference where you are is really small just go for 3080 vanilla. I remember years ago my rx270 shitting the bed a month after warranty expired , good times

I don’t get this.

You can buy a beefy card and have it play @1080 / 60fps for the next 10 years. You don’t need 4K / 144 fps

>just buy the bargain bin zotac card bro, mine runs fine

>My RTX 2080ti has died
m8 aren't those less than 5 years old?

Why are you falling for the nVidia meme?

you mean gainward?

>My RTX 2080ti has died
nigga
how?
Is it beyond repair? You will need a 20 series card like that if you want to use helix vision to convert games into 3dVR in a headset. I'm tryna watch prices if I can get exactly a 2080ti for 200$ bucks or so

A 3080 would be better price to performance ratio. If you are willing to spend more then you're better off going for a 40 series when it releases, but you'll need a big boy PSU for those (1000+ watts). The ti isn't much better than the normal version for the cost you'll have to cough up for it.

I have a 3080 and undervolt it and it performs well with anything I throw at it, I play at 1440p with a 240hz monitor. On older games I easily hit 200+ fps and over 100 on graphically intensive games like RDR2. If you want to do 4k though then maybe the Ti is worth it, but then again that would be your call. The 3080 should last you a long while if you're doing 1440 gaming.

At this point I say pass on 30 series. The vram is too low that it will be a limiting factor soon. We are close to getting dragon-like aidungeon running locally and it uses 7-10gb of vram and the 30 series is so cucked in vram that they arent worth it in current year

No game devs are going to utilize it in any practical way soon just like meme tracing. Consoles still hold PC gaming back so consoles dictate what will be utilized in the long term.
You're only going to have niche use cases like ai stuff or Minecraft mods that actually utilize all that VRAM or feature fluff, so stuff that's essentially a tech demo that we MIGHT see be commonplace 10 years down the line (in which case even the 40 series will be outdated tech). If this user is solely thinking about gaming and not AI stuff or dev work the 30 series is great, if he absolutely needs a gpu now then there's no reason for him not to get one. We also don't know everything about the 40 series yet and it will most likely be scalped too which will be a problem going forward.

how the fuck do you kill a card that quickly? it should be under manufacturer warranty, contact them for a replacement, don't just throw $1000 for a replacement. even if you have the money, that's not a sensible way to spend it.

Could be multiple factors
>he bought a used mining card/mined himself
>he bought a shit brand with high failure rate
>he bought from a prebuilt company with mystery GPUs
>his power got fucked and fried it
The only one where he'd be able to get a new one under warranty is the 2nd and last scenarios, assuming he's still under warranty. A lot of people don't realize too that newer GPUs are way way more fragile and prone to failure, especially the 30 series. I had to RMA a mystery bin 3070 myself that died and got it swapped out for a 3080 which has been serving me well so far.

Stress. A miner would make the GPU run at 100% power 24/7, and malware in shady pirated games are usually miners.

They work your GPU like a Foxconn employee until it drops to make money for the malware designer.

Holy shit. My 1080 is still kickin' it. How the fuck?

How wouldn't someone know about this though? Wouldn't the nonstop overdrive of the fans not give someone a clue?

No, most people aren't autistic about fan noise.

prob one of these

4k or 3440x1440 looks 1000x better on weaker hardware than 1080p running flawlessly on a high end card

I do t understand this boards infatuation with nVidia. I mean I get most of the posters here are fucking underaged and probably just parroting what their favorite streamer said but really nVidia is pretty shitty

Just be urself bro, the 3080ti is close enough to a 3090 minus the VRAM and vidya is so shit these days you'll just use it for console ports anyways.
I get it, to some niggas $1500 is a lot of money but thats on you

AMD's offerings have been so underwhelming and always lagging behind that jewvidia took the graphics market crown by default, it's what happens when you have little to no competition in an area. We'll have to see how Intel does in the market but after their N-word AI blocker debacle I personally have little confidence.

Yeah

The original 2080 ti batch had enough issues to the point where people thought Nvidia was going to do a recall when they suddenly went out of stock on a lot of stores.

It's just marketing. I have no clue how people fall for it so hard.

Reminder to play with a high custom GPU fan speed curve if you use headphones. Default curves heavily favor quietness over lower temperatures, but there's no sense in having your fans running slow and your GPU running hot if you're not going to be bothered by some extra noise anyway.

remember to overvolt your gpu all the time for comfy extra fps

But by sticking to easy 1080p you can keep your card from being stressed out and let it last longer in it's ability to play games and from avoiding wear from high power use.

>I tried to clean it and used too much force so the part that go s into the slot broke completely off
You aren't saying you snapped the entire pcie slot pins off right?

This. NVidia bros can get the max out of their sweet sweet 3080s by removing thermo paste, over clocking, and turning the fans down. You don’t need thermo paste on a GPU, especially an nVidia. Their cards are designed for optimal heat transfer and paste just creates of a barrier then it’s worth. You can overvolt the shit out of it too, that’s what it’s deigned for. And, finally, turn down the fans for a more immersive experience.

You can buy a beefy card and play at 1440p for the next 10 years. I have a 1080 Ti and I might buy a 4000 series, easily could go til 2024 probably if I were to turn a few settings down

did you know that you can cook bacon on nvidia? They are trying to hide that fact from you!

>nigga
>How?
Nvidia products have terrible QC and are poorly built. They always fail, even when doing what they were build for (see 3090s bricking while playing Vidya).
Meanwhile my 7970 and rx480 are still kicking

Quite interesting indeed

how the fuck did you manage to kill it my 1070ti is still alive

i only remember 3090s bricking from one of those recent dogshit mmos that didnt have any sort of fps limit

thats retarded though, youre overspending for an inferior experience.
How poor do you have to be to have to compromise to stretch a 500 dollar purchase over a decade, maybe you should focus on achieving things in real life instead of video games

A lot of games don't have fps caps and if your VIDEO card dies playing a VIDEO game then it's a shitty product regardless of the cause.

a 3080 is not a $500 purchase and there's no downside to getting a card and making last other than dick measuring competitions online that have 0 value.

>how does a game kill a gpu
not the game itself, but a miner installed to run either alongside a videogame, or one that runs independently and continually runs in the background.

That's not what was happening. The cards had just barely passing quality control solders and the game was auto overclocking the cards out of the box which is way outside what it should have been able to do. The weak solder couldn't handle it and crapped out from power use going beyond what the cards were designed to handle.

Hello niggers. Thoughts on this build for a poor fag like myself?
pcpartpicker.com/list/cF7ygb

My current rig is about 10 years old with the exception of the graphics card. I'm planning to upgrade but use some existing parts I have like the graphics card, psu, and cpu fan. In the future, I'll upgrade the parts further. Oh and the 32gb of ram is literally so I can have more tabs open.

a 2080S is, which is what that user has
if youre buying a 3080 to play at 1080p youre triple retarded, holy shit youre spending well over a grand and you wont get a decent modern monitor?

Thats like buying a high end 4k short throw projector and then using it to watch movies on a bare brick wall

If money is tight then buy used. Especially when Zen4 drops there will be a lot of people selling off 5000 series CPUs cheap.
You don't really need X570 and in some way B550 is better, so I'd look at one of those.
Why two 1TB m.2s? Have you considered turning your old PC into a NAS for mass storage? You could get a lot more space in HDDs for those prices.

My PC is a 5800x, 32GB RAM, 6600xt and a 1TB nvme m.2. It's a good set up and 32GB of RAM was definitely worth it. 16 is just too little these days

this was meant for

>My RTX 2080ti has died
no it didn't

And that 3080 will last a decade. But this is bad because I didn't buy a new gpu every 2 years like the companies want. I could buy every single gpu on every gpu release if that will make you happy, but it's not a good use of money. Eventually 4k will be the poorfag resolution that people make fun of for anyone still using but we're nowhere near that yet so I'll stick to 1080p60

It seems I left one of the m.2s on, should just be one. Thanks for the suggestion but I don't even know what NAS is, though I could do some research into it.

>Im sticking it to the corporations by spending 5x what I need to spend to run an outdated monitor
bravo retardanon, youve cracked the code

How the fuck do you make your GPU die?

NAS (network attached storage) is just a computer you have on the local network that acts as a storage box. My NAS has all my photos and videos, Plex media, NextCloud data, backups of my main PCs configs, and any important documents. Plus I backup a lot of my Vidya save files to it.
It's a good way to get into Linux, as a lot of people use it for their home servers.

Better than getting the part that only barely handles that performance level and has to get replaced within 2 generations to keep up with increasing demand for performance from the games.
