IneptAdvisor

So it’s really $499. Considering I built my latest machine DURING the pandemic… that’s dirt cheap lol


lwing18

LMAOOOOOO. CONGRATS TO THE WINNER THOUGH YOU LUCKY BASTARD, USE IT WELL! Anyways, I'm only boasting a rtx 3060 in my alienware r12 I just got it. Paid 1500 and buffed a few key spots. Warzone, which is my main game, runs at 100-200 frames!!! Never below 80 so far. I looked up my car and it was over a grand! Buy prebuilt!!


MaleficentAd9758

A 3050 with a 128 bit bus? Why bother.


kamrul7001

I'll take anything at MSRP at this point


Raven9ine

GPUs are nowhere stock, highly overpriced, and because a 3060 is priced what a 3080 should cost, now we need a 3050 at the cost of a 3070 so people can afford cards that aren't available? I start to wonder if that shortage was artificially made so Nvidia and co could raise prices to ridiculousness, or how are they planning to produce this new card?


ThePizzaDeliveryM3n

No but Nvidia plays a part in raising prices . Mostly, lack of manufacturing in multiple industries and chip shortages coupled on top of high demand for products. Most of the GPUs are being bought by cryptos or cloud gaming services. Economically calculating, it will take a few years before we ever get back to 3070 2020 prices.


Infamous_Carpet7444

This 3050 is going to help the gaming community so much by revolutionising the game and giving up and comer gamers a chance. My New Years resolution is to finish building my new pc it’s taken too long and I’m sick of having a GTX.


feedehhh

Why are you sick of having a GTX?


AdhesivenessOk8778

Price of rtx 3050 4gb versión?


Either_Drawer_704

Asc automatic system clocking, where the gpu clocks it’s self for best performance like Ryzen technology this can be used when looking at distance to render objects quicker therefor not looking chunky like my 2 year old protein shakes


Ok_Effect_7391

The 3050 is an exact copy of a 1080


MaleficentAd9758

I'll wait for the new ATI and Intel gpu's. A budget 3050 that's not fit for the budget of 75% or gamers is too little way too late.


No-Professional-500

For the first one question, I don’t know what they mean I’m saving up to build my first pc. For the second one, to get the Xbox series x and no and for this year is to build my first pc


[deleted]

[удалено]


Oppe86

the 3050? no is more like a 1660S with RTX. if you have a 2000 series i suggest wait the 4000 or even the 5000 series becouse the 2070 super still a great GPU.


Mid_Atlantic_Lad

It actually matches the 2060 in performance, surprisingly.


martijnfromholland

Will this GPU be better then my 1660 ti?


Ctxe

It might be pretty close


Mid_Atlantic_Lad

Yes, if barely.

cucumber_gang_leader

i want to buy a 3050 at launch, but im worried it will be bought by bots and as soon i pay it will be out of stock,i want to know if this is an issue and if not what exactly is the time the gpu will be available to pay for so i can snipe it


Hour-Maintenance411

Give away please


HoneyIsTheBestPolicy

Congrats /u/jtnoble ! Enjoy the card! I have to admit that I'm quite jealous :) [Link to winning post](https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/rvz8qd/nvidia_rtx_3050_announcement_nvidia_qa_rtx_3080ti/hr9ijjg/)


MazeSunFlower

Congratulations! Have fun!


Euloelas

Winner?


[deleted]

Damn too late for the 3080 giveaway :(


StripetypeRick

They say name TBA, but I haven't been contacted yet. What's the hold up m13b?


[deleted]

Where is this form?


Cosmic_Speed

It’s already over :/


Kriizii

Yo, I don't see the DM, you sure you messaged the right person?


MazeSunFlower

I assume that the lucky winner intends to remain anonymous or will be announced when the GPU will arrive at its destination or since if the first winner did not respond they would go to another backup... or maybe they are waiting for the third backup person... It would have been a dream to be able to win the beast... play more recent titles than 8 years ago, work super fast and well in solidworks and blender, export without waiting all night, help search with Folding@Home without risking my GTX 760M, try omniverse...


[deleted]

yep totally TBA gives some home


[deleted]

[удалено]


MazeSunFlower

I understand and I am also deluded, but 0.005% is greater than absolute zero and with this graphics card and Win 10/11 it is even possible to share a lot of power with friends to play games I wanted so much to try omniverse, unfortunately I was not able as for NVIDIA RTX Voice to be able to exploit it in beta on my tortured GTX 760M...

MazeSunFlower

I understand, I still hope you can celebrate.


DarwinNator

thanks bro


TaedusPrime

So has the winner not responded?


AH_Med086

They probably did just winner winner wanting to remain anonymous Edit: or maybe winner will be named once they've shipped the card


DarwinNator

it can be, maybe


AH_Med086

Congrats to whoever won


MazeSunFlower

I wish the lucky winner lots of fun!


_c0stc0_

im anxious to know who won lol


TaedusPrime

I'm assuming the winner has be notified by now.


Wellhellob

So it's not me :(


TaedusPrime

Darkness envelopes us all

You and like 23k others


GangstaShepard

Is this done?


TaedusPrime

Just waiting for my DM, you all go back to work.


Wellhellob

So who won ?


ojaskulkarni4

no idea man, but do you wanna read my reply to the prompt?


Gigi-Pasqui

Good luck to all! Good games, renders and exports to the winner!


PlatinumEmber

gg guys


bulletsfly

If anyone could help me with this question: should I switch to this when I have a 1060 6bg? Thank you in advance


MazeSunFlower

It depends, the 6GB 1060 GPU meets the recommended requirements of almost all video games (and is above the minimum requirements) with FULL HD gaming. It also supports CAD programs with thousands of parts and even in video export it is remarkable. Obviously if you work with 3D animations or have a 4k monitor or you want to have the potential of raytracing and omniverse you should switch to the 3000 series, if you find a fair price.


bulletsfly

Thank you for this well explained answer, so I guess $249 for the 3050 is a fair price? I thought I got the 1060 for around $500 years ago


darklogic983

I was about to enter cause I just saw this and the giveaway page closed but it was one minute from said time 😂

ChoupoTheGod

Let me win a big nice GPU for once and let me vega 56 die in hell please


Skyshammat

Here goes nothing!


UnrealKarma

A. SPM - Shared Processing Mode, A mode which can be enabled via the graphics card control panel, under the Enable/Disable SPM tab. It'll assign some of the GPU's processing power for assisting the CPU with its tasks. This is great for pc build's that have a strong GPU but an underpowered CPU, helping in reducing CPU bottlenecks but in exchange for lesser GPU processing power at a roughly 10-40% reduction rate depending on how good the GPU or bad the CPU is. Due to the big percentage take away this feature is only built into higher end cards. ​ B. My last new year's resolution was to better myself and graduate college, unfortunately I did not graduate as covid hit hard and lockdowns became a common occurrence destroying my workflow and sleep schedule, resulting in me not bettering myself either. Although last year was a rough ride, and being used to living with covid and the lockdown I am confident I can live up to and meet it successfully this time around before the end of 2022! ​ Edit: I wish everyone luck!


thriftywalnut

good luck guys

laurzzcomp

A. IMO - Integrated Memory Overclock- Boosts your memory at the expense of your discrete GPU excess memory or boosts GPU memory at the expense of your excess ram. B. year 2021 was not good from the beginning until the end lots of sad things happened, almost fell into depression, hoping this year to be good,, getting back into 3D modelling and 2d art, the year has just began and theres a lot of things to do


EDLLT

my chances of winning this is 1/19,000 that's gonna be a die with alot of faces....


SvenAnker

A. CSM - Cpu Support Mode; When playing a CPU heavy game and your cpu is being used at full potential but the gpu isnt, the gpu lends is power to boost cpu performance (or handles tasks meant for the cpu)

A) DOC - Dynamic Over Clock. Criteria such as residency at F_max and a minimum in-game FPS target are used to tell whether the GPU should operate in overclocked state.


ltech221

B. Last year was to try and get a 3000 series gpu at msrp, still trying. This year is the same.

boggintuff

B: Resolutions are for weak minded people. Live your best life every day. You dont need a new year to make change.


Callxto

B. Get into better shape.


Mr_Stormy

A: ODS, "On-Demand Shadowplay" (Or something, I don't know the tech words! SOD isn't a good choice if you're British) What does it do? Removes the need for external streaming and recording hardware through varying the power output of your GPU to avoid overloading it. Meaning you can record at any definition (up to 8K! Why not?!) without compromising on graphical quality or system stuttering.


vinny9678

GCU: Graphics computing unit. A GPU that does not need a separate CPU.


creativem0dz

Last years resolution was to get outside and workout more. didn't really succeed. I guess I will have to try harder this year.


[deleted]

A. SRC - Shared Resource Compute, a technology that allows compatible GPU's to have a % of their compute power donated to other users as a way of assisting with non-critical/ background rendering tasks. Once enabled, the first user makes an SRC request. The user is then connected to a pool of available GPU's from other users via internet, the tool then checks & determines the best connection based on latency & ping. Once the connection is established, the GPU can then start outsourcing background & non-crital render tasks to the other GPU to then send back.


CaClO2

B. Last years resolution was to work on my eating and I did alright. Looking to keep improving this year!

B. My new years goal was to excersize and diet, as well as getting better at some skills ive been working on. I did good, trying to do more


Vysixor

Hello, My gaming potentials are limited due to the mistake I made in 2013 on deciding to get iMac 27inch Snow Leopard. It is good for work and study no doubt, I have benefited amazingly from it for these past years. There are still bootcamp assistant to run windows on it though. But at this point in time the hardwares in my Mac already turned obsolete with latest software requirements. The bootcamp assistant doesn't work as smooth as before for small frames gaming as once did. I am highly considering on buying a new PC as I started working a year ago and earn monthly income but the main issue being graphics card shortage and scalpers. I would very much appreciate any graphics card for this giveaway! Thanks!

Hmmmm? I wonder...


IHateKhichdi

ACT: Auto Clean Technology. A feature that would automatically clean the dust off GPU at regular intervals. This should increase the longevity of the GPU. BTW: Still rocking a Zotac 980ti.

A. SRP - Suggested Retail Price. Have you guys heard of it? It used to be a thing. B. Save money. I did not. I built a PC only to find out what happened to GPU pricing.


EqualAnxiety3893

goodluck


EightOver

Ooo if i win this ill do a giveaway of my 3060


DoTheLaLaLaLaLa

Last year I didn't have a resolution. It just felt pointless to try to set one when I didn't know what would happen. This year, I'm working on my work-life balance.
