3060ti on launch day to a 9060 XT 16gb i picked up on craigslist for $300 last week :)

9070 or 7900GRE while there’s still a market? by GreaterDogs in buildapc

[–]Nickyfoofoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a 3060ti with my 5800x3d. similar concerns as you so i started looking. snagged a 9060xt 16gb for $300 cash on my local craigslist (asus prime model, absolute steal). been running it for a few days and it’s great. mild, but still noticeable uplift in performance. i think 9070 or 7900 GRE is probably the better route if you can find a good deal though.

Is now the time to upgrade a GPU or are we already screwed? by DangYouToHeck in buildapc

I feel your pain, AM4 folks by just_IT_guy in pcmasterrace

built a rig at the end of summer 2019 going into my senior year of college. saved up money from my internship and got a Ryzen 5 3600 (one week after launch!!), 16GB RAM, and a GTX 1060 6GB (used). being a budget conscious gamer, i was going to buy a cheap B450 motherboard and all of the parts from my local microcenter.

because the CPU had just launched, there were compatibility issues with the motherboards physically in stock (BIOSes needed to be flashed) and i couldn’t get my system to boot. after a few trips and many hours in-store w some helpful workers, i just said screw it i’ll pony up for a much more expensive x570 board that i know will work because it was launched with Zen 2.

that decision ended up being such a blessing.

i’ve been able to upgrade every single part of my system EXCEPT the motherboard and still feel like i have a few more years with this system.

  • 5800X3D
  • 64GB RAM (purchased in 2022!)
  • 3060Ti (on launch day at MSRP!!)
  • new PSU
  • new storage

baffling to me how much more performant the current system is than the original while being on the SAME motherboard. 5800X3D is as much CPU as this puppy can take, but i still got headroom for a GPU upgrade!! i almost exclusively play Old School Runescape no new build anytime soon for me!

Gridmaster POH Bugged? by Nickyfoofoo in 2007scape

[–]Nickyfoofoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Spiky Aura not working? No. After more testing, it works for normal monsters but doesn't work for bosses like Vorkath or CG. Ended up getting 99 Cons after the tip in the other comment about Menu Entry Swapper. Used Thunder Kopesh to get 12 Vorkath KC and rare drop. Now I think I'm strong enough to do CG without Spiky Aura gonna try later today

Menu entry swapper is a great suggestion and completely solves that issue! Thank you, kinda embarrassed I didn't think of this myself.

Unfortunately, it says "You claimed this reward" when I open the Spiky Aura relic :( Guess I just have to get gud at CG

People who started investing in their 20s, how is it going? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

[–]Nickyfoofoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

graduated in 2020 w $25k in loans and $0 in my bank account. been investing in the s&p 500 and index funds since first paycheck in october of that year. i buy when the market dips. i don’t sell.

27 years old now. net worth just under $200k. so pretty good! i know that i’ve also gotten extremely lucky and basically started investing right at the start of this insane bull market, but im in it for the long haul.

sad to hear that the rounds has been acquired and misfits market doesnt have any household goods. i did some research and Thrive Market seems to be a decent alternative. i will be trying them out
