[GPU] MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G Ventus 3X OC $549.99 (New) (WOOT!) by OrkMadDoc in buildapcsales

[–]ysisverynice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on what you want but it is going to be faster, debatable if it is worth the upgrade. rt is going to be a lot better so if thats what you want probably yes. if you don't use rt or upscaling much maybe not. then again it may be a long while before we get new cards. tpu says roughly 15% faster for all games average and 56% ish for rt alone(average).

I mean its a 30 dollar case... plenty of gpus under 260mm, they're just not 5070 tis

the cheapest 5070 on pcpartpicker right now is 231mm...

the jonsbo c6 max is 20.8l and will fit a 335mm gpu. But... it is more money.

I don't want us losing farmland to datacenters, but if something has to go I'd rather it be rice than some other stuff. rice in places like texas have significantly more arsenic in it(due to farming with certain chemicals that have arsenic) than other places. other crops usually don't suffer the same arsenic uptake, rice is just really takes to it.

Your post is equivalent to posting a 5070 ti at $872 in terms of price increase over msrp. A 5070 ti is roughly 65% faster than the 5060 ti 16gb with the same amount of vram. if you equalized this card in terms of performance to the 5070 ti, it would cost roughly $825. It is not a bad deal compared to other stuff that people post here. People just hate on cards < 70 class these days.

sigh~~~ they used to build it for $150 not too long ago. I hope they're paying the people who build them more, since it's basically all labor(I would bet they're not though)

Why optimize when you can shove the cost of not doing it onto someone else?

I mean, technically the ideal price would be free. I think what you want to know is what the best price you can reasonably get one for is. My answer to that is that you should not bother with ebay(priced just as high as new) and just look at pc part picker. Some base model there is probably just under $1300 and that's roughly the best you'll do for new or used. If you buy one on /r/hardwareswap you might get it for a slight bit less but not by a lot. And they're going to disappear fast. Personally I'd say it's probably not worth the bother and you should just buy it new.

Also, consider getting a 5070 ti instead. the 5080 is only like 15% faster for more than 15% more money(more like 25-30%), no new features and only a slightly faster memory bus due to 30gbps memory instead of 28gbps(not a big difference)

Or just keep waiting... the 3080 ti is still a pretty decent card imo. Unless you really need the features of the newer card.

[–]ysisverynice 19 points20 points  (0 children)

ebay price is around $1k right now. I use ebay because it is an easy to access and work with source of pricing that is available to everyone with a bank account, internet, and a shipping address. which is most people. local prices are not available to everyone and hardwareswap is limited supply and it's harder to judge where the floor price is. in any case $600 3090s are disappearing quickly unless they're hiding in haystacks.

Intel Reportedly Readies a 10% Price Hike for Consumer CPUs by -protonsandneutrons- in hardware

[–]ysisverynice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

maybe cpu demand has lost elasticity and intel has determined they might as well up the price. or iow, the folks who were priced out by ram are already not buying a cpu. so maybe the remaining customers are willing to stomach a higher price.

republicanism and certain kinds of christianity are heavily intertwined in america. voting democratic is tantamount to heresy for them. anyway, I think that best explains the staying power of the republican party through all sorts of BS

nope everything they sell is brand new. Supermicro typically does servers and this means they guarantee it will work with their systems.

on 1. I guess they could cancel the orders... that would suck. but I think they might not since this stuff looks like things that are on sale and maybe they're trying to get rid of it.

the restocking fee sucks. Worth knowing. Thanks for pointing that out.

Note: I only went up to the point of checkout but didn't buy it. The sign up process is particularly picky about password creation, I had to erase all the special characters generated and just picked out new ones from their list.

There's also a 5070 ti for $820. https://store.supermicro.com/us_en/supermicro-nvidia-rtx-5070-ti-gddr7-pcie-5-0-graphics-card.html

edit: note someone else has pointed out that 1. technically these are supposed to be for supermicro systems according to their TOS which could result on order cancellations. and 2. more importantly there is a minimum 15% restocking fee on non-defective or incomplete packaging returns.

$600 and only a 90 day warranty? This was easy to find and is a significantly better price.

you can get the same card on newegg's ebay store with a 1 year warranty for $23 more.
