Holy shit, I finally acquired a Radeon VII, and for a not-retarded price too.

Hardest part will be to find a waterblock that doesn't cost 90% of what I paid for the card lol
Not-retarded price for a reason: it very likely is ex-mining and very beat up.

Works just fine though, and that's what matters.

what the ****, that's my old (and sold as broken) 2080 Ti KPE. I heavily suspect this seller is trying to pull a fast one, selling said card as working despite the fact it gave Code 43 after I dropped the VR rig last September.

Mega super TURBO jank water cooling loop in one of my spare parts rigs. Stupid EK 90-degree fitting leaked twice causing my Fury X to not initialize, so I had to toss two of them.



Kids, don't try this at home, I'm a professional retard who somewhat knows what he's doing. Keen-eyed users might notice that's the Eisstation DC-LT from when I first started water cooling way, way back on page 2.

*blows a layer of dust off this thread*

I had a major clean of GPUs because of unforeseen expenses, and unfortunately my 2nd R9 Fury X popped it's VRM due to coolant leakage :( I also haven't been benching much because of summer and it being retardedly hot in the attic.

That said though: 2X EVGA RTX 2080TI KINGPIN | eBay :drool:

**** yes, finally found a Vega 64 Nitro+! Not the LE unfortunately, but A. it was cheap locally (€195) and B. never mined and box+invoice included.

Amazing to see GTA V finally at >60 FPS in 1200p! Next step: Bykski block.
Love how things haven't changed one bit in almost two years time: a Vega 64 Nitro+ these days still goes for €120 or so.

its mostly crazy, prices are actually increasing. 3090 is almost more expensive than it was 2 years ago. *(back at msrp)

long gone my days of high-end overclocking; unless you do dice at very least the premium is worthless - those days are already over for 2080ti.
