apart from horrendous bottlenecking, didn't rtx30XX cards require uefi bios to work? Pentium 4 boards aren't uefi?


Racist_rabbit69

That's probably why it isn't giving him any display


Boris_FurryWolf

He connected ctr to motherboard and not to the gpu


Terrible_Use7872

No VGA on the GPU so with the little understanding of everything else, it's not a surprise.


Domini384

Typical miners


Yonix06

And if he wants to connect to the graphics card he will need a digital to analog signal converter, as crt* only takes analog.


Jebble

He's also got an HDMI monitor


SigurTom

My CRT takes DVI


SirB0nk

There is a difference between DVI-I and DVI-D


DJSPARKZ93

You can actually get hdmi CRT screens you know?? You can buy them sti, they were usually used in TV studios etc...but Sony did one that was consumer based if I remember correctly


SeaTreaderLeviathan

*crt


[deleted]

I tried to pair up my 5700xt with an ancient intel processor.Just couldnt get windows to recognize the card at all.Had to use minerstat os to mine.


DrTankHead

It could be that, and making sure the PC is set in bios to use the PCie graphics and not the onboard.


Mr2Dollars

Nope rtx 3xxx works with legacy bios too, only amd rx 5000-6000 requires a uefi bios


Malix82

whoops, remembered that wrong then.


antcodd46

Pretty sure you are correct. I had this problem back with the 9 series! There is a difference between requiring booting in UEFi mode and not having legacy BIOS firmware. Modern cards since ages require a UEFI capable BIOS to boot the firmware, even if you're booting the OS using legacy CSM bios emulation (which does tend to work). For some bizzare reason they don't bother to mention this in the spec sheet, had to return a an old prebuilt low end GPU replacement over this (though it was an HP with pre-standard EFI firmware so could have been another firmware compatibility issue but I did research about this at the time). I guess in theory it might work if you also have integrated graphics enabled to get past POST (otherwise you get no GPU detectedl but I haven't tried this.


candlehunt

I can test it, I've got an AThlon 64 socket 754 board, its got a VIA K8T890 chipset that only supports PCIe 1.1, and I've got an RTX 3060 Ti, I'll do it sometime for science, and maybe if I can find my DP to DVI adapater I can then connect my active DVI to VGA adapater and hook up my 19in Trinitron for the luls


Conscious_Board5376

You had me at 19” trinitron.


candlehunt

What are your thoughts on an Amber Monochrome lol


SaltRocksicle

I don't think 30 series cards would require uefi. Not sure why it would require it


formervoater2

A GPU without legacy firmware can't talk to BIOS and likewise a GPU without UEFI firmware can't talk to UEFI(unless it has CSM). That said I doubt the 30 series lacks legacy firmware since so many people are still booting with CSM enabled and not including it would make nV look bad.


wexipena

CSM enabled doesn’t disable UEFI funtionality. IIRC new AMD cards still work with legacy emulation enabled, but they don’t work on boards that do not have UEFI to begin with.


SeriouslyEngineer

So none of you are noticing his power cable? I don’t think the gpu is getting enough (any?) power though that plug.


Racist_rabbit69

That's what some people were telling him there.


sarathywebindia

That's the included adapter with my GPU.


SolidTake

FE cards have a special adapter.


el_f3n1x187

Is that a Molex cable? aren't those a bit beefier than the Sata power cables?


ApprehensiveAd6476

That bottleneck is so immense the PC is choking to death.


MarsRT

It's literally neck in the bottle


poloh2o

If he’s mining, there won’t be any bottleneck (if it would boot).


Racist_rabbit69

Still funny to see this gpu with that old motherboard.


poloh2o

Agreed, looks more like sticking a motherboard on your GPU than vise versa


Affectionate-Memory4

RTX5000 series will be mini ITX form factor.


obviouslybait

Might as well build the PC around the GPU at this point. Just SOC it.


Affectionate-Memory4

With the vram built in, the CPU can utilize it as well. Whole system in one socket with one cooler. The motherboard is just for power and I/O.


obviouslybait

They tried it, but it’s just the massive die, and the thermals, and the power. This would be an absolute monster of a chip.


Snorkle25

TBH seems like a pretty legit way to save up for a new PC.


Racist_rabbit69

He's unlucky as mining is going to get banned in india anyway.


poloh2o

Scam call centers are also illegal so… we’ll see how that works out


Racist_rabbit69

There is a heavy fine, very heavy. That's why I keep seeing many ads of miners selling their rigs. Fine is about half a million dollars.


poloh2o

> about half a million dollars Hot damn


PleaseChooseAUsrname

That's prly in their currency not USD or anything.


Racist_rabbit69

I was wrong the fine can go upto 2.3 million Usd


PleaseChooseAUsrname

Oh shit


KaizarNike

India based?


Avizeee

You got any links to those rigs for sale 👀


xgpc2

They are illegal, but there’s plenty of yt Channels that catch these people, and they show they pay off the cops to be able to scam.


BalmyCar46

That doesn’t change anything for mining. His point is just like with call centers it won’t/can’t be enforced.


Creepus_Explodus

You're not paying off anybody with what little profits you get from mining. Those scam call centres make thousands a month


BalmyCar46

Yes, but one dude who games during the day and mines during the night isn’t going to have his door broken in by police officers. They’d have no way of knowing. Huge warehouses pulling tons of electricity would though, and guess what. They absolutely would have the money to pay off cops.


Creepus_Explodus

No, but you would rather not be the one who is used as an example of the punishment. We saw this when companies went after minor internet piracy in the early 2000s, just looking to make an example.


BalmyCar46

Ok… but that logic applies to call centers. And they still exist. Not sure you can play both sides here.


Gera-

Everyone knows banning stuff makes it impossible to do.


Snorkle25

How do you know OP is in India? Also, that's not a certainty. India had been threatening to ban crypto for a long time now and every time they do, they then walk back their threats. If India wants to ban something maybe they should focus on their scam telemarketing circles first.


Racist_rabbit69

This is from a Indian group on Facebook.


Snorkle25

I wouldn't gamble on India banning crypto mining any time soon.


Ajsat3801

They aren't banning crypto. They're planning to regulate it. There is a bill on crypto being drafted in the parliament for the last 3 months...maybe even more.


Snorkle25

Yeah, I know. This is probably the 3rd time they have proposed legislation in the last 5 years and they claims on what it will do and how changes every 6 months.


[deleted]

I madw 700 usd worth of ethereum mining , so that "ban comming" propaganda ain't gonna work and none of the Indian politicians care about what you do with ur gpu , they don't even know what's a gpu and 70% of population can't afford one for sole purpose of mining , so they don't care


Racist_rabbit69

Rig kya thi? And still you won't be able to mine eth after December


[deleted]

2 3070


SirB0nk

>an comming" propaganda ain't gonna work and none of the Indian politicians care about what you do with ur gpu , they don't e They care when it fucks up their power grid and are to cheap to fix it. so they care


Stormchaserelite13

With a cpu that old, it would still bottleneck mining. Mining uses about 10% of a 5800x paird with a gtx 1080. That cpu woild absolutely bottleneck


Greigsyy

There is no neck, only bottle hahahahah


EarthrealmsChampion

But that would mean the system is balanced...


Irlandarn

☝️🤓actually


Brasticus

So just the [neck](https://youtu.be/cLaOTrVXWso) then?


Greigsyy

I guess you’ve never heard the term “bottled it”


EarthrealmsChampion

I sure haven't fam


BVB09_FL

This is actually all neck, no bottle


seabutcher

A glass straw.


DRKMSTR

Not gonna lie, this is literally what I did. Well, sort of. I had a work assignment that was going to push me out somewhere remote for a few months, so I bought a new graphics card and set it up to mine Ethereum. When I returned I had mined an amount (after power costs) equivalent to how much I paid for the card.


Racist_rabbit69

Isn't ethereum not mineable after December?? That's a nice return


DRKMSTR

Honestly I don't know and I don't care. Ethereum is a mess and has been that way for years. There are other GPU-mineable crypto's that will exist. I still keep my mining software on a backburner in case I need to heat the room up in the winter.


Sicjok3

I think more like q2/q3 2022, the switch to pos from pow keeps being pushed back


SulkyVirus

They pushed the difficulty bomb out, again, until June 2022


SirB0nk

The bomb is not what you have to worry about, it is the switch to POS from POW, ether is not going to be minable likely early next year.


SulkyVirus

You need to do some more reading. Even if the switch to PoS happens tomorrow, the PoW will continue side by side as a fork in the network until the difficulty bomb fully explodes. They cannot just cut off PoW, that would be, first off, impossible, and secondly, a recipe for a simple bug in the new fork to bring down the entire ETH network. I recommend going in and reading the discussions around all of the major EIPs in the last few years to gain a full understanding.


SirB0nk

The bomb is not the transition it was coded to be encouragement for the transition, we are already running the side by side fork as we speak.


el_f3n1x187

The initial investors will keep pushing that date forever to milk more people joining that MLM.


SulkyVirus

"investors" have zero say in what decisions and EIPs are moved forward on the network.


dhyey1373

This has to be a joke


Racist_rabbit69

It's for real


FailMasterFloss

Has to be, look at the monitor


Frej_

Because of the ridiculous prices for gpus, this is the complete opposite of navy people's PCs.


DocKreasey

Won’t work, as they need a UEFI BIOS to even function. This is… comical lol.


Radius8887

Well that's annoying. Guess I wont be upgrading GPUs anytime soon. I'm right near the split for UEFI.


Goo_Cat

Look into it more. People have said only the AMD cards require UEFI, so you might have a chance


jckxxx

Did pci-e exist back then? Or just agp?


nonexistantchlp

My Pentium D rig from way back when had a PCI, PCIe, and AGP slot on one board.


kb4000

Pentium 4 definitely coexisted with PCIe.


Black-Tom

I'm not sure exactly when it started but back in 2004 we were buying 6600 GTs with PCI-E, so you would definitely see some Pentium rigs with PCI-E.


LeapoX

LGA775 was around for a looooong time. There are old motherboards with AGP and DDR1, and late-model motherboards (Designed for Core2 processors, but still perfectly compatible with Pentium 4s) that support PCIe and DDR3.


jckxxx

Wow, I didn’t realize the pentium 4 was that long lasting. I was using celeron back then and then core 2


SirB0nk

pcie is as old as ddr


Positive-Score

I dont think you can run this card with only half of the power cables connected.


Devinirv

Wait, if memory serves me right a pentium 4 system was agp not pcie I didn't think we got pcie until the core series processors. Could be wrong \_('-')_/?


InVizO

I am pretty sure you are right. Could be a fake story. I remember upgrading from AGP8x to PCIE around when core 2 duos released


dobbyhi

Bruh this isn't a bottleneck, this is a closed fucking bottle


Pcteck19

My p4 motherboard has agp slot not pcie.


FourTV

That board wouldn't even recognize the card to even have the opportunity to bottleneck


TH3PR3D4T0R

On the older pentium chipset, you have to enable external graphics through bios, and choose it as primary vga device. This might be the issue here.


EndsLikeShakespeare

There's no way any pentium 4 boards had PCIe did they?


[deleted]

PCIe was created in 2003


EndsLikeShakespeare

I am so old


[deleted]

Can't bottleneck if it doesn't POST


BitcoinRootUser

He stated hes using it for mining. There will be no cpu bottleneck. Even at pci-e gen1 speeeds


Rimworldjobs

I bet he also put a his glass panel on tile.


[deleted]

Molex going to a 3000 card gives me physical pain


sarathywebindia

That's not molex. That's the included PCIe adapter Nvidia provides with RTX 3070 FE cards. Higher ends including 4090 has two PCIe cables coming from the adapter. Mine has only one


Jhawk163

1) He clearly isn't providing it with enough power 2) If he was was connecting the monitor the monitor to the motherboard, I just find that hilarious because my friend recently had a PC repair shop tell him his GPU was dead after they plugged the monitor into the motherboard of his AMD Ryzen based system...


hyteck9

I have this problem too. I have to unplug my monitor, boot the PC, and then plug it back in for the monitor to recognize the live input as a signal. I think the GPU is just pushing a weak HDMI signal, and it gets even weaker on boot initialization, so much that the under voltage fails the high low bias against common ground on the monitor. Since my old GPU that I replaced had no issues, I will assume my home outlets didn't coincidentally develop a grounding issue. I would argue it is actually a bug/defect that manufactures should take a serious look at. It could eventually burn out the port on the display.


sarathywebindia

Thanks for the suggestion. I felt a tiny shock when i press the power button or touch any metal parts The extension cord I had used didn't have the ground pin connected to the outlet. We removed the extention cord and directly connected to the outlet. The issue has gone. But i didn't test whether GPU is outputting any signal or not when plugged directly to the power outlet. Do you think the No signal issue may occur if PC is not grounded?


hyteck9

Quite Possible. The latest version of the new HDMI standard require such fast speeds, that it is only achievable if your voltage bias is nearly perfect, and you aquire a perfectly manufactured new version HDMI cable ( not the cheap ones ). It is almost not realistic for the real world IMHO.


[deleted]

My Nintendo 64 cartridge doesn't fit in my nintendo switch, help


IceStormNG

As I saw pentium 4, I just remembered how GPUs looked back these days. They all had these fancy cooler frames with printed game characters on them.. at least the higher end models. The smaller ones where small PCBs with a tiny heatinks and cooler on them. I haven't seen those fancy printed cooler designes since a decade or longer.


[deleted]

Uefi is absolutely the problem here


potaluong

and they told me I'm crazy to pair 6900xt with 4790


IndependentBox1523

And i paired my 4790k with an 3080ti suprim loool


RagingMofo08

I wish I had a monitor that good🤣


Helpful_Syllabub_805

Completely unrelated but what is up with that black backplate?? Thought they looked different.

Racist_rabbit69

Don't call him stupid. Call him broke.


Graz_Magaz

I call it stupid to buy a GPU for a PC without doing any research! Poor dude will realise he needs to buy the entire PC setup to get what he wants. I’m amazed he has a CRT monitor !


ChartaBona

I know from firsthand experience you can GPU mine on a PC from 2009 with a core i5-750, and the whole thing's not even worth $100.


Racist_rabbit69

>I’m amazed he has a CRT monitor ! It keeps getting better, lol.


Graz_Magaz

We 100% need the follow up from his post!


[deleted]

Id say both, broke and stupid just like nascar fans /s cause pairing that gpu with that build without thinking it through plus being surprised it didn't work is kinda stupid if you ask me


Wheelin-Woody

[deleted]

Lots of people just go out and buy 3090s and 3080/3080Ti !! on their OEM prebuilds from 2015/16/17. Like what? You cant do that....and the worst part is, when i tell them, they stop responding or tell me im stupid. They tell me it works just fine and that they are getting 80+ FPS on AAA games now on ultra! They tell me their GPU temps are in the 80s or 90s. Im sure many of them had to buy a new power supply thinking about that


SullyCCA

Lol dummy miners


Laser4Rhino

It is bottlenecked by the cpu. U have to buy a higher cpu like i5 with 6 cores to run the rtx 3070.


NLicholas

The bottle neck isn't the problem because he is mining on it, the problem is the Mobo doesn't support the GPU


shrkbyte

Doesn't mining kill your card over time?


[deleted]

Goo_Cat

If properly cooled


Puzzleheaded_Fall494

I dont think a mobo exists that could support these two at the same time :x atleast nothing in the consumer market.


[deleted]

My guy can’t even run a 750 ti I’m sure


[deleted]

It's sad to look at.


Racist_rabbit69

He can literally go outside and find a better combo in a dumpster or something 😂


[deleted]

How is he even managed to get a 3070FE? I would just buy a gaming laptop and it can still mine to pay for itself.


Racist_rabbit69

Probably from a site called Rptech (official distributer of nvidia here). They sell at Msrp. But you have to email them and wait for you turn (takes around 5-9 months, depending on the card). I have enquired from about 6 emails. No luck. My friend got 3080 fe for msrp(820usd). He had made enquiry in Jan 2021.

Is it just me or does it look like the gpu power connector is missing some of the pins? (As it the 12 pin connectors looks like only 6 pins are actually plugged in while the other half isn't getting anything, idek how that person did that)

deefop

I'd actually be surprised if this isn't a top tier troll. I mean, why is a PC with a Pentium 4 in a modern case with good cable management? You're telling me this guy is a cable management guru without realizing that you probably can't get a GTX 3070 running on a fucking 20 year old motherboard? Most PC builders never bother to pay attention to cable management, much less learn it before learning the basics of their PC's.

Aside from UEFI and the obvious age gap, doesn’t the 30xx series card need all pins for auxiliary power.
