Yeah sorry, I didn't see you mentioned that in the OP. I think you're on the right track with trying a monitor. Good luck!

EVGA have promised they will continue to honor warranties on gpus until they run out of reserve parts. Still risky though.

You could try disabling Nvidia Optimus. It tries to switch between discrete gpu and integrated graphics to save power but it isn't great at it. Should be able to find the toggle for it in Geforce Experience, I think its called "Hybrid Mode" but the name changes between laptop brands. It can...

Hell yeah, you guys are great. Much appreciate the help

This is overseas, so the pricing is a little different. About 120 USD - or around 1000 DKK if you go by the prices on the sites I linked. There's about a 15% premium on electronics here so the money doesn't go as far as it would in North America. I also found a Corsair RM750e for 1069 which is...

Putting together a build with: CPU: Ryzen 7700X GPU: RX 6800 or a RX 6800 XT (waiting to see if price drops also hit the XT version) Storage: 1 x NVMe and 2 x M.2 ssds Case: Fractal North (4 120mm fans) RAM: 32gb No plans for RGB or other PCIe cards or overclocking etc. Recommendations for a...

When I last looked at eGPUs, they needed a thunderbolt or usb3 port to provide decent performance, expressport doesn't have the bandwidth. Although maybe it doesn't matter considering how old your cpu is.

6800 XT is about 130 dollars more expensive in my region at the moment unfortunately while the 6800's price already dropped. Don't think it's worth that much more for it? I expect the XT version will drop in price at some point but not sure how long it'll take. Or maybe my local vendors are...

Thanks y'all, I got the 6800. Related question: can the rgb on the MSI RX 6800 GAMING Z TRIO be turned off?

Thanks, I appreciate the quick response! I don't think my budget can manage a 16gb 4060 - at least not without making some big compromises. I'm already depending on a heavily discounted 1440p monitor so there's not a lot of flex for a gpu above the 400 dollar mark.

I'm building a 1440p system on a bit of a budget. In my region, the RX 6800 has been discounted to 400 bucks (presumably in anticipation of the 7800) which is the same price as a 4060ti. So far as I can tell the difference is that the 6800 isn't great at raytracing/dlss. However the 4060 ti has...
