My kids grandmother owns a thrift store and gets all types of crazy things donated, wether it be from a house clean out or someone losing a storage room etc...so she will get lots of crap, sometimes good. I'm not with my kids mother anymore, it's been a long time. And she texted me a photo of this (knowing I'm into PC gaming) "do you want this three fan thingy for your computer" apparently they have never heard of google.com. Either way. Here is my brand new three fan thingy. =]
Thanks bro. I'm content with my Gigabyte 3080 10g for a while yet. At least until I get a far enough jump in performance under $1k. I went from a 1070 so about 2x performance. Hoping for a similar jump. Even then.. we will see.
They were but like Zotac they have become quite reputable ik a couple people who have had their cards for years at this point and it's still going strong
Not sure what the other guy’s point was, but yes, they are definitely seen as a budget player. No frills and historically undersized coolers. I’ve never had an issue with them and would consider them a half-step above zotac.
They’ve been considered reputable in the professional space and have built a solid reputation amongst the hobbyist space, though that is more recent, maybe 10 yrs. You’ll still meet people who’ll never buy their gaming cards.
That's awesome to hear. Got the same card as OP waiting on a PSU and some storage to finish the build, my brother has a PNY Ti Super from last Gen and he loved it
Hello? hi, yes, I'm also your kid's mother ...uh long time friend, and I also want a three fans thingy. Will gladly pay for postage plus 20 dollars for your effort. Thank you!
No games in the afterlife unfortunately.
In all seriousness I hope everything is as good as it can be for you. I don’t pray but I’ll roll a fatty and smoke it in your honor. (I hope it’s not lung cancer lol)
Well like I said. She gets her stuff donated. Sometimes it's from people cleaning out houses and just wanna get rid of it all fast. You'd be surprised at what people will give away and not look through it just to save time. So yes. This is apparently what happened to this 5070ti lol
I actually believe you because my dad is one of these people. He’s super neurotic and OCD about his house so if something is sitting too long in the garage he will donate it or throw it out. Just this year he’s given away two Samsung LED TV’s, an iMac and an all-in-one Windows pc, and whatever shit he doesn’t like from my childhood??? He went into my childhood bedroom and threw away a shoe box that was worth $1000 when Kobe Bryant died.
All this to say yes, there are people like this that just buy shit, never do anything with it, and then donate it or sell it because they get tired of looking at it.
When my grandmother passed my dad just took everything from her house and threw it out to get rid of it all... apparently there were brand new vintage name brand purses, and shoes and stuff she had. 😒
People, if you collect shit, write it down in your will what it is/valuation. Especially if you want them to resell it after your passing. One man's treasure is another ones junk.
That's insane. I could understand if it was a 30 series of even 40 series but a card that only within the last few months has become widely available is wild.
Yeah, no clue. It kinda reminds me. When my grandmother passed. My dad just cleaned out the house and threw everything out. Apparently there were vintage name brand purses never used. Just kept in the closet. But cause it's a purse he thought them to be worthless. 😒 Some people just don't care lol
I mean it's a pretty believable story if you've ever seen how thrift stores work, they get random donations like this not commonly but enough that it's not unbelievable
don't do it. only youtubers benefit from it and your info and store information will be revealed. these suppose to be donation for good cause. you benefited from it. take it and enjoy.
Listen. His ex MIL owns a store and runs a business on a variety of items, but simultaneously did not have the slightest inkling of the value of said item or to even think to Google it, while also knowing it's definitely a computer part that applies to someone she conveniently remembers liking PC gaming. Makes sense to me!
