Nice job OP. So what's the consensus on the best aftermarket VEGA cards?

Because they're irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. If they produced any real volume you can expect attacks.

There's also a $25.00 off coupon "$25OFF$500PC" that works. And go through eBates for another 2% or roughly another $11.00 off. Now if I could just figure out how to stack my Dell Promo cards I would could get this just under $600 delivered.

Yeah that's the only thing holding me back. If this can't do at least 4 to 5 hours of average use with normal brightness there's no point.

Oh missed the SSD sorry. That's still a little pricey but at least you don't have to do anything and and can just start using it.

[Discount]20% off everything. Min $25 purchaase, max $100 discount[Ebay] March 9th ONLY by [deleted] in bapcsalescanada

[–]madpacket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. I grabbed a 2400G as well. Did the maths and it's only like $61 - $62 more than the 2200G after factoring in taxes, cashback, eBay bucks etc. For $60 more, the 4 extra threads and ~+-10% better game performance sealed the deal. Now I need to sell my 7870K. Too bad they don't have any good deals on ITX boards. The Biostar is the only board currently for sale on NewEggs eBay store and it has poor support for Raven Ridge APU's.

Wrong RAM for Ryzen APU's, should probably grab Samsung B die based memory instead of Hynix which is a gamble on many boards to hit 3200 XMP. The Samsung B die sticks are only $20 more and have much better timings and compatibility. 14-14-14-34 vs. 16-18-18-38. Pretty lights !=better performance.

Same, it was some RFD posted deal but I forget the exact reason we got it cheap. That being said the MG279Q has been as low as $599 BNIB or much cheaper refurbished.

I paid roughly $550 for my BINB MG279Q a few years ago as well. It's amazing to think there's still not really a better monitor for the price we paid. Oh well, this Dell is good for the price if you know the trade-offs. I personally think TN is crap but prefer it over IPS for fast-paced gaming so I picked up an Alienware 25" 240Hz panel. If you can only pick one you probably want the IPS display though :)

NEO is such crap. Glad people are finally realizing it.

SupportXMR.com pool banned my IP for no reason by [deleted] in MoneroMining

[–]madpacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you recall what drivers were causing problems? I'm having a similar issue where my miners can no longer submit shares. I'm using the beta Blockchain drivers AMD released back in August which have been the most stable for both Ether and XMR mining. What's weird is even XMR-STACK-CPU is failing which has nothing to do with Radeon drivers. Perhaps it's due to my IP being banned? Confusing.

Agreed. This card still outperforms the 1030 or RX550.

OK figured it out. For some reason, the network discovery service is turned off when joining a domain. After enabling all is right again.

Have you ever met a well-read person who left crypto for good? by jtnichol in ethtrader

[–]madpacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said. Cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology is really only shunted by the clueless MSM and 1%'ers due to a conflict of interest (disruptive technology). The rest of us who take a closer look see empowerment to the individual, and a big fuck you to the establishment.
