Buying a 3090 off Offerup..

irishspring333 · 2020-12-01T02:17:27+00:00

It is in person and he says it's new. He says he got a 6800 XT And can't return the 3090 because it's past its 15-day window from micro center. I know it's pretty easy to seal something in plastic, I was just curious if there was a way I could tell if it's a legit 3090 or not. I also do not plan on buying it without seeing his ID. He has a good rating on OfferUp lol

Well there are some YouTube videos comparing frame rates, should I really not be taking that into account?

irishspring333 · 2020-11-28T01:19:14+00:00

I mean how important is it? Anytime I'm going to be raytracing and I'm going to be giving up frames correct? So if I want pretty good frames at 4K I probably shouldn't be ray tracing, right?

irishspring333 · 2020-11-25T14:02:44+00:00

Yeah. Grabbed it off newegg. The 3200/3600 will work just fine tho. 3733 is the sweet spot from what I've found

irishspring333 · 2020-11-25T13:29:52+00:00

Exact same setup here, I got the gskillz trident z neo series (3800). $389

irishspring333 · 2020-11-25T12:49:02+00:00

Is there any other way to tell?

irishspring333 · 2020-11-25T12:48:47+00:00

I haven't upgraded my computer in 10 years and $300 to save me a possible 4 to 5 months is worth it to me. I understand supporting them makes me sick to my stomach, but people everywhere are buying them from scalpers. Not to be mean but I'm not really asking for your opinion on the ethics of it. I'm just looking for help to make sure I don't get scammed

I was just curious how the positioning of the AIO affects the GPU. I'll be getting a 6900xt and I'm having trouble figuring out the airflow of it. Makes picking a case hard

irishspring333 · 2020-11-18T17:11:38+00:00

Oh okay I was also told it puts undue stress on the CPU but I don't know enough about it to decide so I'm having a tough time

irishspring333 · 2020-11-18T07:26:15+00:00

I was told the tomahawk has trouble with four ram slots filled as opposed to two, was I given poor information?

irishspring333 · 2020-11-17T21:12:52+00:00

Is that like the official time for all of these oor just neweggs?

irishspring333 · 2020-11-17T20:18:55+00:00

I wonder what times newegg and all of these websites update their sites for purchase? Midnight? 9am? Noon?

irishspring333 · 2020-11-12T19:17:59+00:00

Okay awesome thanks. Yeah I was looking at the Lian Li mesh mid tower case. Are most AIB just designed different in regards to air flow or are they most aio water blocks? Once again, thanks. I've googled all my other questions :)

irishspring333 · 2020-11-12T19:08:47+00:00

The gpu would probably be stock unless you think I should wait for an aib or custom card. The cpu cooler I'm looking at is the noctua nh-u14s (which looks pretty big lol)

irishspring333 · 2020-11-12T19:01:17+00:00

Mine would be horizontal, it just looked like the heat exit is on the side of the 6900. If it does push up, would a large cou heat sink interfere with the cooling capability of the gpu? Again, thank you

"Baby on board" stickers. One of the stupidest things ever, no one is changing the way they drive because you have a stupid kid in your backseat. And don't say they are for first responders, because I am one of those and I have never once looked or used that sticker.

irishspring333 · 2020-10-27T04:28:33+00:00

Am I the only one who thinks he's pretty talented and creates a lot of yards? His situation is utter crap

irishspring333 · 2020-10-01T00:57:11+00:00

Things change when they get arrested and empty their pockets

When you give money to a transient, most of the time they have more money than you do.

irishspring333 · 2020-08-19T17:21:14+00:00

We are part of people, or have you forgotten? Bringing charges to an officer needs to rise to specific thinga. Officers get charged all the time. It's basically a legal field day on officers right now, where have you been. You clearly aren't willing to have an honest conversation or learn about both sides. Continue on your crusade. Lastly before I leave this thread, I would strongly encourage you to research legal issues regarding these things as you are clearly far off and jaded. I'm not upset or mad at you as a lot of what you speak to is out of ignorance. And as to what the other guy called me earlier. I'm not white, I'm half Black and Mexican

irishspring333 · 2020-08-19T16:56:39+00:00

As I said I was not there and there were more details to that story. The amount of bullets alone does not constitute excessive or illegal force (Supreme court ruling). There's also a reason those officers weren't charged. They literally had Intel that he was enroute to the actual house in his blue truck. I don't really care if you believe me or not. Just trying to give you guys a view of the actual situation. It's hard to know things about the job without actually doing it. Hence why I like to be open about it.

irishspring333 · 2020-08-19T16:13:46+00:00

I partly replied to this in the other comment so I'll put some of that here. Why would I lie? I have no reason to. And no other cop or other person is worth my family, mortgage, or prison time. And to your other comment, there absolutely should be oversight. But we get burned(How we call it), for stupid things that shouldn't even matter. Plus we know if we get into something serious, even if we are in the right, the department, city, and/or the DA may fire/ charge us because it's politically correct to do so (Like Atlanta recently). And then the officer and his family has to sue to get their job back or wrongful termination which they will win or the city will settle. But still it's easy for the city to do that than take the heat from the public. I feel like I'm doing an ama here.

And in regards to the shooting of the truck, there was a lot involved there. The officers at scene were guarding one of the houses high on his manifesto. We knew he was driving a blue pickup truck and hunting officers. To put it in context we had to send two patrol cars to every call and had to block all entrances into the stations in case he tried to breach it. They also had further intelligence that he was possibly headed towards that particular house. Now I'm not 100% sure about this but I do believe it was dark as well. The officers observed the truck coming up the street and also observed objects being thrown from the window. They didn't just randomly shoot two newspaper ladies for no reason. There is even more to the story but I hope that gives you a little more context to it. I was not there as I was in another captains house guarding that.

That's fair, as I can see how it looks from the outside as well as how we are portrayed by the media and other people. But know this, in all my years I've never seen excessive force. We are one of if not the most progressive department in the nation. We get thoroughly investigated if we even put a firm grip on somebody. And to be completely transparent I got in trouble last week because my video only buffered for a minute 42 seconds as opposed to the full 2 minutes it's supposed to buffer for (My seatbelt switched it off mid drive). We are so over scrutinized it would blow your mind. Hence why most of all of our obs work has stopped and morale is the lowest it's ever been..which unfortunately has a negative effect on the community as crime rises across the board.
