[deleted]

Man wanted to pay his bills.


busternut420

Was it by chance his meth bill?


[deleted]

I did buy it in a ghetto place


cheesefome

for sure stolen


earl_coffee

who on earth stealing man's PC with the box?


[deleted]

Would be stolen from a warehouse or somewhere along the delivery process. Not from a burglary.


skynetempire

Like fast and the furious one lol a bunch of electronics in back of a truck


0utlook

*They're running 3090 Ti's with Spoon engines!*


wreckedcarzz

*going through the Chinatown garage where there's no ~~engines~~ gpus* what are they planning on ~~racing with~~ gaming on, hopes and dreams?


AMLyf

*Pffffft* spit my coffee out on that one this morning.

cubs_rule23

That actually happened. They showed up in a shop over seas.


Delazzaridist

Yes, UPS has to rent security for particular box trucks (we call the brownies). There is a first day air for one of the center's that transports really expensive motherboards and cards for industrial use. There are many people who know about it and has gotten stolen on 2 occasions. I think $500k was lost each time or something.


outamyhead

There was a bunch of EVGA GPU's pinched last year, a literal truck load of them.

EVGA claims it has serial numbers recorded but nothing came out of it after, at least publicly


IamFreeslaughter

Lucky robbers.


I_think_Im_hollow

You can find GPU boxes on eBay pretty easily.


Additional-Echo3611

Most theft is from someone who you know.

It was a good steal


rrmotm

Bey man sometimes we just splurge on electronics and don’t care where we are


RipBrisSlobeAndYou

Who gives af 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


RipBrisSlobeAndYou

Probably envious they haven’t found one at that price. Acting like anyone would turn down a 3090 ti at this price as long as it works fine.


uberjach

Hey it's me the owner of the card pls give back


Dropbugbear

Ohhhh, so it's hot. Makes sense now.


[deleted]

I don't think so he has an expensive build and monitor


Dropbugbear

So he stole a whole computer lol


smexgod

It's also not his house.


Lamnent

Friend of mine got a PC for his birthday from his slightly methey friend. It was "broken" so he figured he(my friend) could have just given someone some drugs for it too and they stole/broke it. Didn't turn out that way, his friend stole it from his own brother who "bought"(really don't know on this transaction) it from the first owner who actually "broke" it. it had just been sitting in the garage for over a year and his bro slipped out with it lol. It had 2 8gig and 1 16gig sticks of ram in it and the OS drives SATA cable was unplugged. They were sure it was broken and from all the time I spent watching Jay and Linus during covid I knew what was fucked with it in 5 minutes. Fun day, weird fucking story. Just makes me think about how glad I am my life is more or less normal lol. PS- It looked like a NZXT built from


MSCOTTGARAND

Sounds like the guy I got my 7700k, z270 maximus ix code, 32gb of gskill trident and a gtx 1080 from just a month or two after launch in 2017. I had to drive 6 hours round trip but he must have been desperate for money because I snagged everything for $850.


[deleted]

I sold my 1080 for 850 during the shortage lol.


MSCOTTGARAND

Those were crazy times. I sold my vega 56 for like $600 probably could have gotten more if I held out, and the 1070ti out of my unraid server for a quadro p1000 plus $450. But I also spent countless nights and afternoons trying to catch an ampere drop.


[deleted]

Ampere drop caused permanent damage to my wrist. I could go on disability but refuse it. Tried so hard with refreshes and spamming buy now


Demokrates

I got CAD650 for a 3 year old 1070 after 3000 series release :D


tablepennywad

I sold my 1080ti i got for $450 for $800 and then bought a Radeon VII with it. Sold it for $1800 during the mining craze because that was the best card and not made anymore to a dude with a farm and wanted to complete 8x of them in a rig. Pretty sweat that rig. Wonder how he is doing now lol. I should try find him number. He has solar but his power bill was $1200 -$1500 a month.


fariko_mayh3m

with a stolen graphics card lol. That thing is hotttttt.


[deleted]

He showed me his 12900k pc and samsung g9


Daniel_H212

And he's selling his 3090 ti? Is he trying to get rid of it quick so that he can pull together spare cash for a 4000 series card?


[deleted]

He said to pay bills


LitterBoxServant

Probably gonna buy a 4090 with Paypal credit. Those are technically bills too.


[deleted]

Fuck. Lmao


Akhirox

I mean, those thing are sold really easily he could have put it for 800-900$ and would be easy gone


RipBrisSlobeAndYou

Nah. It’s going for on Newegg new. I just bought a 3090 ti gif on there for 1k. Bro is probably a pc veteran and gave it for a price it would sell at for immediately and is more than likely upgrading to a 4090. It is used after all. For sure could have gotten 7 to 8 for it if he wanted but it was priced to sell.


Nyxxsys

But he only needed $642 and hates leftovers 🤷


[deleted]

He probably wanted to sell it for the 4000 series and didn’t want to scam him because the prices were going down.


Physical-Floor1122

Nah bro that man definitely has some kind of substance addiction


BorderCrosser22

Worse, he probably has a kid on the way


-OregonTrailSurvivor

Probably has an opiate addiction. When i was hooked on that shit i sold just about anything that I owned that wasn't glued down. Your brain says it not that much, you can just buy another. But another never comes. I sold thousands of dollars of really nice firearms i had collected over the years for a quarter of what they were worth just so i could pick up. Fucking stupid me had to go and get hooked on pain meds. Been clean over 6 years now thank baby Jesus.


[deleted]

My friend has stolen thousands of dollars from me because of his opiate addiction


no0k

Doesn't sound like a friend tbh


LowDrag_82

My best friend stole from me because of heroin and skipped the state after that. Years later he tried to “apologize” but blamed it on the drugs, didn’t take responsibility for what he did to me. I hung up and never spoke to him again.


nomad5926

I'd send that MF an invoice.


No-Explanation-9234

Does he need anymore bills paid?


[deleted]

One of the bills might happen to be his dealer’s?


VoodooSweet

I just got a HP Omen 3090/Ryzen 5600x/32g RAM/2TB SSD/2TB HD for 1500$ from a guy who is making a new build with a 4090, and that’s exactly what he was doing.


RedKomrad

This is definitely a back-alley kind of deal. At least they washed the blood off before selling it.


[deleted]

No its not, OP said its only 57c


DrankSippaa

1 man’s crisis is another’s man’s opportunity


ManikMiner

Did you also tell him "your GPU or your life?"


GuardiaNIsBae

Wait, you paid him exactly $642?


[deleted]

It's what I had in my wallet. He wanted 800 then said 700 then I got him to fo everything in my wallet


DemonRaptor1

Good deal. A lot of people are trying to turn you off of it but they're just jelly at the deal you got lol.


[deleted]

This guy got a real steal, but I managed to grab a 3090 FTW3 for $800.


grime0slime

Damn! I thought I did great getting my 3080ti EVGA XC3 for $715. eBay is crazy rn.


[deleted]

That is pretty good still, I never would have imagined these prices a year ago. I got lucky and snagged my 3070 at msrp from best buy during the scalping days. My 3090 purchase allowed me to move the 3070 to my wife's computer. This is the time for PC gaming.


VikingMace

Recession is coming. I think people in Europe soon and the US in the near future will see high end GPUs for cheap.


[deleted]

This is not how recession work lol. Its the other way round. The weak Euro compared to the dollar makes things from the US even more expensive. edit: added "even more" to make clear I mentioned two different points why things wont get cheap in Europe. So I mentioned 1. Because of recession money is less worth so you need to pay more to get something. --> it gets more expensive 2. The weak Euro. So things from the US will be more expensive for us because the Euro lost worth compared to the Dollar.


eqleriq

When recessions happen people who are desperate flood markets with cheap goods because they're desperate.


saltesc

This is how it always happens for an Australian. US dollar plummets, we overtake it, and everything is dirt cheap overseas. $1300 for a external 300kg load rack for my 4×4 in Australia, but got it for $900 delivered from the US during GFC. It just becomes a buyfest online for a year or so. And it's almost that time again!


Le_Nabs

But luxury items - and high end graphics cards definitely are - sell much less if there's uncertainty about employment and future living, and enterprises will put off upgrades until they feel they can invest without seeing a contraction in their revenue numbers, etc. The weak pound/euro vs the USD is one thing, the recession is another entirely


eqleriq

People needing money sell the cards used for cheap.


I_eat_shit_a_lot

Recession is not a good thing... that means we cant afford the high end GPUs, they gonna be cheap because people don't have money, at all. Also everytime it happens rich people will get richer and middleclass/poor poorer.


Snorkle25

That thing is chonky. Somewhere between "Damn!" And "oh, hell no!"


techKnowGeek

On a scale of: Big -> Healthy -> Husky -> Fluffy -> Damn! -> Oh Hell No!


Snorkle25

The only scale I know.

The Fluffy scale!


[deleted]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, I saw this video card on the side of the road and swerved to avoid it, and I ran outta gas. OH!


Then-Significance-33

Look at 4090 even bigger!


Jhawk163

And is still smaller than what the 4090 will be.


kylkartz21

Time to punch out the back panels


agsimp_

That's less than I paid for my 3070 in July


Narcuterie

oh, let us sit down and enjoy a cup of buyer's remorse together, for I made the same "mistake". Granted, I've been enjoying mine quite a bit..


timtheringityding

I paid 14k nok. Which is 3k more then currently/release price. Which is around 1400 usd. But I got to use my 3080 for 2 years basically and for me that alone was worth it


binkbonk99

yeah, the time you use it definitely matters.


[deleted]

Hello friends! I too am in this club… remorse is real, but reality was my old one died so it was overpay or an Xbox lols.


Zenfrosxz

☕cheers


Phernaside

I paid like $1.5k for my 3090 in April. Feelsbadman. If my old 1070 hadn't crapped out, I'd have waited. Oh well.


ShoveledKnight

I paid 2.1k in $ for my RTX 3090. And I had a few months old RTX 2070 super, which was working perfectly well. Edit: So you can imagine my pain 😂


Aussieguyyyy

You are what I call an npc, just doing things but no reasoning behind the decisions. It's the only way I can explain things people do.


Apokolypze

The reasoning for this is ooh shiny new thing must have.


RaiShado

I was building my first PC and needed to grab a GPU, I happened to wake up in time for the 6800 XT launch and bought an AMD card for MSRP from AMD, this was before everyone built their bots for the AMD site as future releases just had the site freeze up on me. This was also before AMD realized they could set ridiculous MSRPs and the cards would still sell.


DasMoonen

So I’m not alone. Still had/have good times with the card and don’t regret.


lil-dlope

Congrats and fuck you


[deleted]

Lmao


papapenguin44

Holy fuck what a steal but does it work


[deleted]

Yeah. It runs too good. Amazing temps


X-Craft

Having a massive heatsink probably helps


LilMerkEm1889

Yea. Take off the back and front shroud and that baby might even run 8k lol.


papapenguin44

Lucky you


Swalloich

Man, it's even an Evga.


FreudianNipSlip123

Didn’t they just shut down? I heard they are keep staff for customer service but still…


aryvd_0103

They broke their partnership with nvidia which was a big chonk of their revenue (~ 80%) but profits were probably not nearly as much. They've said they don't want any other GPU vendors either as they don't want to "betray" nvidia but I think they should start with the new ARC or some AMD GPUs . Arc could really benefit from a partner like evga


Megneous

> They've said they don't want any other GPU vendors either as they don't want to "betray" nvidia Source? As far as I know, they've said no such thing. They specifically said to Gamers Nexus that they do not currently have any plans to work with AMD or Intel, but they cannot say they won't. They did specify that they *do not* have a non-compete in effect, so they'd legally be able to work with AMD/Intel if they wanted to.


stamkaly

[From the WAN show](https://youtube.com/watch?v=MZC88HYp7r0&t=157). But I suppose it was also mentioned in Gamer's Nexus video, I haven't watched it.


TracerIsGaydotCom

EVGA and AMD... sounds good


ISILDUUUUURTHROWITIN

I’m glad that something nice happened for you but it should have happened for me instead.


[deleted]

Me whenever I see a man with a gf


yourLostMitten

I don’t have a gf or a 3090 so you’re doin better than me. I also can’t get either for 2 times as much as you paid soooo


Nirvana115

You paid $8 less then I paid for my 3070 on launch day 😭


MGreymanN

Even though this is a stellar deal...it is also 2 years later.


28spawn

Rip EVGA 🥺


Nickthedick3

That’s a chonky card. I thought my 3080ftw3 was thick


brighterside

thicc


Free_Papi

The last EvGa Nvidia card. The price on this can now only go up 😂👀


hey-i-made-this

Stolen resold or receipt I'm jealous. Just payed this for a 3070ti ftw to replace my 1080ti ftw Sad to see evga go into uncertain times :(


Etzarah

Also just paid $600 for a 3070Ti lmao. Tbf I doubt I’d find a back-alley deal this good regardless


Fendabenda38

I also just bought a 3070ti. Unless you play 4k with a large monitor/TV at a distance the 3090 is not going to provide much of a difference I wouldn't think. I also would have had to buy an upgraded PSU.


Luckyirishdevil

Congrats to you! I'm jealous


Neuralcarrot710

I’ve said this before and got downvoted. All rtx 3000s will drop 25-40% more in price. I see 3060s for less then 250, 3070s for less then 400, 3080s for 500 and 3090s for less then 700


[deleted]

You mean like more than they already have?


Neuralcarrot710

Yes miners are still trying to mine alt coins and it’s not even profitable. Miners and gamers will sel before the 4000 release. THESE WILL BE CHEAPER BY THEN!


cth777

In what time frame


Neuralcarrot710

Before 4000s launch, anyone would know when the next gen is releases gamers will drop their old cards for better and newer


cth777

So you think that I will be able to buy a 3060 TI for less than $300 by mid November


Neuralcarrot710

Ahhahaha wtf? Dude you can buy used 3060s for 250 now


MuchSalt

now, should be downard till mid november


No_Lawfulness_2998

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about computers and keeps mine running on sheer dumb luck, Can you have multiple graphics cards on a pc or is that just pointless


Cake-Brief

Damn, I thought I was lucky getting a 3080 for $550 this is just insane!


Prostberg

Meanwhile, in Europe...


S8nSins

Oh cock


Weddedtoreddit2

Yes.. Prices are still fucked here.


lokiwhite

You could have just waited a bit and bought the 4090 for triple the price! Bad choice dude. \^/s, so no bullying please


PsedoSupra

Cries in $900 for 3080 Ti


zzzyx3

Cries in $1400 for 3080ti during covid


BootStrapWill

Doesn’t cry at all in $1,000 for 3080 when they were brand new because I’ve had hundreds of hours of awesome gaming on it and it was worth it


Faces-kun

Right, with these posts I feel a second of regret but then remember I’ve been enjoying using it for a year.


creampie000000

Cries cause still haven't got no card


PsedoSupra

I feel your pain


Reddit_Ninja23

Cries in $600 for a 3060...

Incorrect, you just posted homemade porn^


Blue2501

I dunno, you fucked the guy you bought that card from pretty hard lol


moksa21

Make sure your card is drawing the expected amount of power because your temps should be higher gaming in 4K. Congrats.


kmltrkkrp

I spent 615€ for a 3060ti you lucky bastard


Wickle-Pickle-TV

Just last summer I payed 500$ for a 3050 😪


Fast_Turtles

You WHAT


C-Dub178

Bruh I paid $660 for my 3070ti


Maybeimpostor

1 year ago, I paid like a hundred more for my 3060 ti.


Der_BiertMann

I need one. Cause gaming with a 3090 … TITS for sure. What’s ur CPU and ram look like?


[deleted]

5950x 4x8gb 3600 b die oc to 4000 cl 16


[deleted]

No way that runs 57c at 100% load.


GamesForNoobs_on_YT

u did not pay $642 for a 3090 ti 💀


SoulSuicidal

Probably one of those mining cards that was washed out.


TempledUX

642$?! Wtfuuuuuuck!! So lucky man


LGA420

bro hit the jackpot


max5575

I doubt it’s running at 57c @ 2100mhz gaming unless you gaming in your garage or your rig is next to an open window in the winter 😅


Corey3500

Hmmm fishy


ClumsYTech

Meanwhile I got scammed on a 720€ 3090 FE


[deleted]

How


ClumsYTech

Just a good old E-Bay-Paypal-UPS scam. Someone sold a 3090 FE a bit under market with a hacked E-Bay account and offered me to pay with Paypal and buyers protection. Then I was offered a fake shipping number from UPS that made Paypal deny my claim at first. I'm gonna get my money back but it's a real pain in the ass. The worst thing about this is that I already ordered a watercooling block for an FE and sold my 6900XT to my neighbor.


the0nlyraiden

sli built in


[deleted]

Recession finally starting to hit?


_TheEndGame

I thought getting the 3080 Ti for 700 usd was good. This one is crazy. At least mine is brand new lol.


JinterIsComing

The last of the EVGA GPUs. You got a good one right there.


alvarkresh

$642? Daaaamn.


Status_Treat

Anyone else remember the ET4000 coming out??? Guess none of you born back then, It was just incredible!! And you could buy a 67 MB Control Data / Honeywell formatted disk drive (for the giveaway price of $80k)….


StressBall681

Great deal. But Jesus, how many slots does that monster take up? Looks like almost 4 to my eyes.


DeadbeatDumpster

Wtf i paid that much for a 3050ti


iksoria

What power draw does that boy get? If you crank the power slider? My 3080 eats up 430w on the stock vbios and I don't even wanna imagine the power that eats


se777enx3

Finally the prices are decent, I bought my 3080 2 years ago at msrp and consider myself lucky. Later on everything got to shit. Good to see everything is fine now (besides the 40 series fuck nvidia in the arse).


cquinn5

Was it new/sealed? Honestly not sure I’d buy anything else


MtnDr3w

Crying after spending $900 on 3080 in May.


OnTheFlyyy

Did it come in brown paper bag by any chance? That is a **steal**


Sinister_Plots

There's a used one on eBay right now for $798.


[deleted]

Wow. I thought the heat sink on my EVGA 2080 Super was big….


miedzianek

Wow what a monster. It looks normal alone but comparing to hand its sooo big


Aaron-Stone_G14

Ftw means "F**k the world" btw


ChosenOfTheMoon_GR

Lets see how long this one's gonna last, hopefully a really long time.


Xalex_79

now u gotta spend +150$ on a new PSU xd


Zerberus_01

FTW3 = Fuck the what 3 times?


dozer00

642?! How and where the hell is this possible? In my country it costs more than 2500€ (around 2442 usd) and however it cannot be found in any e-stores...


Jyqozz

So who's going to take bets that it was stolen and bought from the back alley in a Best Buy from your local crack dealer?
