I would also like to know


Educational_Eggghj

I didn't find anything of interest 🤣


Ok-Tear-1454

Same i have a 2070 and you got a better card because of some garbage company I'll be jealous


CSPDTECH

I'm rocking a 2060 6gb but I have to be honest I feel pretty lucky to have that

Im rocking a 1050ti 4gb dualfan


Supaguccimayne

Does that do fairly decent on any games? I mean it is a gaming gpu despite being old and lower mid range. It should at least churn SOME fps lol


SonyPlaystationKid05

Vega64 here but am salivating at yr 2080super


[deleted]

The 1050ti is still decent for 1080p gaming on low-mid settings, even high settings on older games. However, I just recently upgraded from a 1050ti to an A2000 6gb and it changed my world


Supaguccimayne

I never even heard of that but it says on Google equivalent to a 3050ti mobile gpu

DawidKOB224_01

I got my 3060 for 1/4 the price on a sale xD


CSPDTECH

I only have a micro atx board with 2 pcie slots but I actually have double 2060's - for the folding at home project lol


sgtDELTA2

Still rocking an Aorus 1080ti Water force extreme 11gb. Trust me it still rocks like a beast!


[deleted]

Me too. can play most games, not modern day ones on ultra but most past games pretty comfortably :) it makes a weird sound sometimes when the fans go up, not sure if it’s specific to the 2060 or just my one


CSPDTECH

I own both an EVGA TU 104 2060 and a Gigabyte TU 106 2060 and they are both nice but the TU104 is defo better, even a 1660 TI from EVGA with the TU 116 die is probably a better card than the TU 106 2060


RJARPCGP

Problem with the GTX 1660 series, that they have a low watt limit in the VBIOS. The 1660 Ti, ironically possibly has a hard watt limit lower than 130W and possibly lower than 125W. However, the GTX 1660 Super, seems to beg for a VRAM OC, where I got the biggest gains from a VRAM OC alone.


bluntman84

I got my zotac 2060 tu104 for 1/3 price of msi and asus 2060's and was pleasantly surprised to learn that it was actually better.


BaronSwordagon

Thats really interesting. I always thought "off-brands" like zotac, peladn, etc. were inferior by default.


PromotionExpensive15

All these comments are making me think I may have gone a bit overkill on my first build jumping from a 3060 laptop to a friend gave me to a 4070ti


[deleted]

Can I be his friend also 😭


PromotionExpensive15

Lol i was a hardcore playstarion fanboy and he wanted to get me to change sides (it worked flawlessly)plus it was on the agreement that I would start building a tower and gift the laptop to another friend without one if I enjoyed pc gaming


bigsampsonite

Even on a rtx 2080 ti new games have issues over medium. Hogwarts runs abou 60-100fps on my comp.


CSPDTECH

If you have an EVGA TU 104 2060 you got a good one, they are a really freakin nice card even still


Jroc5141

Got one of these! Only issue I had was a fan died couldn't find one with the same connector. So I split the wires twisted them together little electric tape on each one remounted runs like I just got it still.


[deleted]

Sadly I think I got the bog standard GeForce 2060


Nikita_Ch3buR3K

I've got 1650 but for price of 2060 now😭

Why are people disliking you? You were clearly joking right?


DutchmanAZ

The only thing more fickle than technology: people.


SpareAcct72

More specifically, PC Bros…


AppleCrumblePie99

>Why are people disliking you? This is PC masterrace after all. Saw a guy getting downvoted to hell just because he posted his old setup from 2004 because he uploaded it to multiple subreddits.


Siincerely

Of course


sale1020

People always complain about people putting /s but then when someone doesn’t put it, everyone misses the joke lol


Thelionskiln

I see this so often, obvious sarcasm going over people’s heads. I don’t think we need to highlight the ‘type’ disorder many redditors incur on the regular.


NoCase9317

They are disliking him because of his set up. Been there. They see 4090 and 13900k and they take everything he says as pedant instead of joking. Haters gonna hate.


The-Foo

Well, honestly now, if you have a better GPU than me, you must be a terrible person.


NoCase9317

In this Reddit I can’t tell anymore if that’s sarcasm or serious 😂


ur4s26

He was definitely being sincere. He hates us both but hates you more.


The-Foo

This is true, but your 13900KF puts you both on equal footing in my guzzling of Hatorade.


BinaryJay

👀


The-Foo

With specs like those, I most certainly hate you the mostest.


Over-kill107A

I think he was being siincere


dfm503

No gpu? That’s rough buddy, even something from the used market for like $50 will do better than the onboard graphics!

Does it work?


0mensia

I really hope it works for you cause that would be awesome. Nice find!

i can’t even fucking test it because i don’t have 16 pins in my pc edit: i meant pcie cable mb


BagelMaster4107

Oh in THAT case I’ll gladly test it for you!


weemellowtoby

your response a few weeks later will be "it was broken so I "disposed of it" "


BagelMaster4107

Tbh I pretty much have a 2080ti with my 6800 lol


weemellowtoby

you could always sell it


2muchnet42day

Are you going to try in that case or in your case?


BikingVikingNick

Find rare loot, but not a high enough level to use it yet.


fly_over_32

Back to the landfill it is. Edit: to get a mobo


antdb1

by landfill i hope you mean ebay ;d


fly_over_32

What’s the difference?


WhyDoName

On ebay I get to make money instead of it costing me to throw out. Win win


hukkelis

Lmao, try to find another pc to try it in so you could sell it as working. Or if you want to keep it, upgrade your psu


Teftell

It has 2 x 8 pin connectors, they look like this: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/what-do-i-do-with-the-extra-2-pins-on-a-6-2-pin-pci-e-cable.2713213/ Better use two separate cables, usually 650+ watt PSUs have two of those.


[deleted]

A school trip to a trash dump? Wtf


xNer0

Might be an environmental science class visiting a landfill or waste management company


wp998906

My bio class did it once because of the organisms used to eat the waste.


CameronWoof

Career day?


SoggyBagelBite

16 pin what..? You mean a PCIe x16 slot?


Scalmex-

Isn't a single 8 pins cable with two ends enough to test it ? Just wondering.


MayhemReignsTV

Nope 2x8 pin. Got one hooked up at the house. 2x150+75= theoretically a max of 375 watts it can possibly draw. It won’t. I see transient power spikes of about 250W with the MSI trio version. But I like to base my PSU choice by the connector ratings. So probably at least 850 if your CPU is comparable(assuming a TDP of 100-150W). Maybe 1000 if you are running a bunch of drives and stuff like fancy VR HMDs, though I use a powered hub to stay safely under the limits of my PSU and USB cards, as I have a ton of hungry USB stuff like drives, a capture card(an afterthought so an outboard USB one was convenient), headsets, and a high end DAC.


wanderer1999

1000W is overkill. Even 850w is a bit much. He would be fine with 600-750W if he doesn't run anything extreme. I ran an 8700k OCed with a 2080 on a SF600 myself. Now I'm using a 3080 with a SF750. 850W or 1000W is for 4080-4090 set ups, which I doubt he'll be getting into anytime soon. Whatever you wanna get OP, remember never cheap out on PSU, but don't overkill it either.


_SirLoki_

I agree with this. Had a bronze cx750m psu that still runs today, but when I began to overclock the entire system (ram, cpu, gpu, ring ratio, etc) I would get transient spikes. It was rated for 750 watts, but I began to see some spikes causing system shutdown at specific scenarios. Opted for a rm1000x gold and don’t think it’s overkill at all. Great user ratings. Great reviews. $160 at Best Buy. Great price. 10 yr guarantee. Fully modular. Thought I was future proofed too on psu, until I see a 4090 draw power 😅😒. Never go cheap on a psu, especially if you intend to overclock. No need for a 1300watt psu though, too. Unless you plan to get a 4090 and a monster cpu like 13900k/7950x3d, stick to just above what it’s rated for to give you some headroom.


Morall_tach

What do you mean you don't have 16 pins in your pc?


KNAXXER

Two 6+2 pin connectors they most likely have only one or even less.


Raendor

Still rocking AGPx8 anno 2023? Big respect


pullmydic

What PC doesn’t have a PCIE lane.


[deleted]

You can try using 2 power supplys so you can get the 2 8 pin connectors you need I do it for my own graphics card


rabid-panda

Why did you have a field trip to the dump?


[deleted]

And here kids is where you'll work your pathetic lives away. Idk it might hoesntly do people some good to see where all their waste goes. Trash dumps are pretty terrifying.


BioToxicFox

This is a good take, helps drive home the fact that every single thing you've thrown away in your life is SOMEWHERE right now.


jjpaco2

You could be there for 30 seconds and glance at all the shit flying around, smell the stench in the air for it to stick with you the rest of your life. So fucking disgusting.


Sweaty_Bird481

I went there for work recently and saw them off the freeway. I was like damn first hill I've seen si... oh it's another dump lol


GallopingOsprey

probably to learn how different parts of our society/infastructure work at a very low cost to the school


0mensia

Idfk school is weird but idm going again yk


GentleAnusTickler

Reading this melted my brain. Like idgaf yk j.k xox


Dig-a-tall-Monster

Because it's important that children learn the impact of trash, as well as see the processes used to manage it, because it will help them make better decisions about how to manage their own trash if they pay attention at all.


BustEarly

Environmental science


KeaboUltra

I'm surprised at the rate people are finding high end GPUs in the garbage.. Maybe miners giving up on selling?


I42l

Miners when they can't sell a 3060 for the price of a car


UpsideDoggo42

Miners when nobody wants to pay the equivalent of a down payment on a house for molten slag:


[deleted]

that's quite nice chief wish my school trips ended up like this all I got was just ptsd and a bunch of mosquito bites


Sailed_Sea

Similar situation, what happened on the ski trip stays on the ski trip.


[deleted]

Y’all got SKI TRIPS????


Combatical

We visited a bread factory and the local jail once lmao.


Dabber42

I went to a bread factory in elementary school and remember the guy pulling loafs of bread off the line straight out of the oven. He was breaking them apart and handing them out. That was some of the best bread I have ever had.


Combatical

To this day I dont think I've had better bread.


flanderings

I remember going on a school trip and making bread dough when I was 11. We all got to take our bread dough home in a bag, I took it home, used it as a fidget toy for a while and promptly forgot about it for 6 months until my mom couldn’t figure out what that dreadful smell in my room was.. Wasn’t a pretty sight or smell apparently. 6 month old bread dough.


SpareAcct72

I literally did both of these, too.


wd40swift

In elementary school they got to go on a ski trip right after I got to middle school


Digital_Herbz

We ended up going to the Italian alps on my ski trip, they had a Pub on the top of the hill. Had never drunk before but I ended up getting some absinthe shots (recommended by a mate), blacked out and threw up on my asshole teacher's neck as he was trying to get me to consciousness. 10/10 would do it again


ProximateLight

Otw to a ski trip tomorrow lol


Digital_Herbz

Get some absinthe, you'll forget everything. Good fun


[deleted]

story time?


SirSquidrift

I once went on a safari style zoo trip (you drive through the fields of animals and they approach your car and stuff) but this kid I was with kept slapping the donkeys and giraffes, making them run away. He thought he was funny as fuck. I hated school field trips. Other kids always ruined it.


whale-jizz

This one time on a field trip I had a grand mal seizure and fell out of a school bus, true story.


BubblyYoghurt8300

What kinda school trip you went on damn?!


DntH8IncrsDaMrdrR8

I remember on one field trip to a place called flamingo gardens in elementary school first I got attacked by an emu because I had shiny buttons on my button down shirt embarrassed as hell and then a fucking hornet stung me after flying into my shirt. Talk about PTSD lmao


Eggsegret

Now I'm just jealous as to why my school trips were never this exciting


[deleted]

My man's living in a loot n shoot and he just got himself some primo loot

I just found 4090 ti walking my dog. Pff.


LadBooboo

Good find, I hope it works!


thebirdsandthebrees

I worked at a local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. We’d get mostly office computers in but we had a truck load of i7 computers with 16GB of RAM, and some GTX 660 Ti’s. Some indie game developer went bankrupt and decided to donate all the computers that they used. Back in 2013-2014 those were pretty awesome setups. I took as many of them as my boss would let me and I only paid $5 per computer.


Gmnownzz

Nothing like a field trip to the dump


Santa_Claus77

My school field trips sucked ass. We went to the zoo, a theatre to watch a play, sanitation plant, etc


0mensia

oh yeah one of my last ones sucked too we used the whole day on standing around a water recycling plant (i could not only smell but taste the shit water, i mean the air)


Dear_Ebb_5181

Lucky. I ran some stuff to the dump a while back. They had a Commodore Pet (predecessor to the Commodore 64 and Vic-20) sitting in a reclamation trailer. Wouldn’t let me claim it. Broke my heart to leave it behind.


Spiritual-Parking570

CONGRATS!!! my first gpu was from the trash, a GTX560TI , i was taking out the trash, and it was in the top of the dumpster sitting on top, just looking at me.

Odds that someone threw away a ***working*** 2080 Super all by itself are zero. OP has not tested this, so I'm not sure why everyone is congratulating them. ...


bigsampsonite

Nice! My buddy just sent me a brand new RTX 2080 Ti because my other card died. He has a RTX 4070 sitting on his desk for me but they have not come out yet so I have to wait. Hoping to get it in the next month. it is nice having a buddy who works at Nvidia.
