triple sulk posted:These things are called "cook groups" (to "cook" is to basically check out lots whatever you're trying to resell; it's a dumb term) and they charge anywhere from $15-60 a month depending on how limited their invites are. Typically they have a member cap in Discord and then sell invites at drop times which sell out in seconds. They usually make deals with bot makers from time to time to sell numbers of licenses which are either raffled or, again, dropped at a given time so that a few hundred members try to fight to check out a bot license which in and of itself is usually a couple hundred dollars or more. Those bots resell for anywhere from $300-5000 depending on reputation and recent success. so the bot groups use bots to buy more bots? it's bots all the way down

exquisite tea posted:You should use the PCI-E cables that came with the power supply to connect your GPU, if possible. Different manufacturers have different patterns for the bits that plug into the PSU so there's no guarantee your old cables would even work on a new power supply. You should ONLY use the modular cables that came with your PSU. Best case scenario it doesn't work, worst case scenario you dump voltage into parts that weren't expecting voltage and there goes your graphics card.

The Gadfly posted:Nvidia should really not be doing any of this in the first place. A lot of anti-consumer friendly practices start out by implementing a version of it for either safety or consumer protection reasons. Then, they start implementing bios locks on non-crypto-related software just to drive up the price for buying the exact same hardware. This has been a thing for years with RTX/GTX though. A GTX1080 can handle like 10 nvenc encodes at one time, but is artificially limited to two. I still strongly suspect that they're going to do the rumored thing and kill the currently existing 70/80 SKUs and replace them with the hardware limited SKUs to try and help the intended market.

Hemish posted:My take on the impact on game development will be pretty minimal unless you're working from home and need an upgrade or your video card dies and you can't work. I think it was more of a "Does it make sense to develop a game with raytracing and DLSS if no one can buy a card with those features anytime soon" impact on development. Truthfully, I suspect they're not going to bother changing development lifecycles, they're just going to assume that by the time they finish the game, availability will be fine.

my homie dhall posted:yo am I dumb or something, why does it seem like the scalper problem would be insanely easy to solve by each online retailer just limiting each address/household to one of (super scarce product)? sure there are workarounds / bypasses to this, but it'd be pretty difficult to bypass at any large scale. I guess they just don't care? scalper pays scummy PO box shop owner 150 bucks to take all packages addressed to "scalper mcgee" no matter what box it's addressed to Since those places often advertise as 123 Main Street, Apt 7 or whatever, there's no easy way to tell it's a PO box shop instead of an apartment complex

Craptacular! posted:Wow, what the hell. Is this why Chrome is taking steps to secure extensions in ways that are making adblockers nervous? It seems pretty obvious to me an extension traffic should be initiated one-way. Kinda? It's more an issue of adblockers have stupid amounts of access. Manifest v3's intent is instead of the adblocker getting a copy of all browsing activity and saying "block this based on my rules", the adblocker provides a list of rules to Chrome, that Chrome then enforces, without providing all browsing activity to the adblock extension.

Zotix posted:How early you think I should go to Best Buy? Tickets are handed out to people in like at 730, but obviously the earlier the better Speaking roughly there's about 200 cards maximum per store, and the line tracker is showing lines as high as 186 in Costa Mesa, CA. If you're not in line right now, chances are good at best you're not getting what you want (assume about a quarter of the cards are 3090s, the rest of a store's stock is the remaining SKUs), at worst you're not getting a card at all

So without getting into the ethical implications of scalped/eBay cards, if budget was no real issue for a 3080, what would I want to be looking at? I was tempted by the FE when attempting to buy retail, but I think that was more a concern of price than anything. I've heard FTW3 would probably be top tier (and also would be the least touchy if I needed customer support), so I'm leaning that way.

Paul MaudDib posted:EVGA is (afaik) the only company still doing transferable warranties, and buying a $2000 card with no warranty seems foolish. You do need the original invoice from the original customer though, and they need to have registered it within the window. Seems like EVGA doesn't require the original purchaser to have registered it, you just need the proof of purchase from buyer a, and your warranty starts from ship date of the item to original retailer, not purchase date. Seems fine enough to me.

Yeah the short version is that the app isn’t supposed to tell customers that rare items in stock, but they still surface what items are in stock but say they’re out of stock. If you type “RTX” into search, and don’t see a FE 3080 in results when you have it set to “in stock at Los Angeles Best Buy”, then there’s definitely no FE 3080 at that store. If it instead shows the FE 3080 in search results, but says it’s out of stock, it’s most likely at that store
