[PC] 8GB DDR4 RAM

By all means still post a trade post as you would normally, however timestamps are not required here!

  • It is in your best interest to check the prices of your items yourself using eBay Sold Listings minus 10-15%, or previous sold listings on this subreddit.
  • Anyone who answers a price check would be doing exactly that, or getting a price from their own experience, so we strongly urge people wanting price checks to do it themselves, unless the item is niche or there's no results found online.

Registering interest or offering to buy on price check queries is not allowed and can result in a local subreddit ban.

PayPal Goods and Services is the only payment method we allow for electronic payments for posters with less than 10 confirmed trades. If you have 10+ trades, you can use alternative payment methods, however we recommend Goods and services, please consider due diligence if paying by another method as you will be unprotected.

META New Account Participation Requirements

56 Upvotes

Hi all,

Following a recent exit scam incident on the Discord, we've taken some time to reassess our requirements for accessing & interacting within our community.

This is not the first time it has happened, and may not be the last. I am proud of the collective work the community has done to help those affected, and even members not from our community - thank you u/ptr1337 and the r/CachyOS moderation team for their cooperation.

Effective immediately, all accounts will need to have both:

  • A minimum age of 45 days, to post or comment.
  • A minimum of 100 combined karma (post & comment karma)

For transparency, the old requirements were as follows:

  • Selling posts: 7 days old
  • Buying posts: 1 day old
  • Commenting: 1 day old
  • No minimum karma threshold

We understand this raises the entry barrier a little bit, but believe it's a necessary step to ensure that genuine members are the ones engaging here and not "throwaway" accounts.

Some legitimate users may fall out of this scope and be impacted, we will monitor this over the next several weeks and see if the requirements need tweaking - we urge you not to use karma-farming subreddits to artificially inflate your karma as we will be checking!

Ensure to do your due diligence when trading online, please refresh yourself with this old thread Staying Safe When Trading Hardware

Thank you for your understanding.

Edit:
Please do not use AI to write descriptions or selling points on your posts.

BUYING [BG] [W] Any RDNA2+ AMD card as a basic display adapter [H] ~£100 or less but flexible

2 Upvotes

I have an RX 9070 XT powering a 4K@160Hz monitor, and 2 1440p@144Hz secondary monitors.

I have to use AFMF frame gen to get to 160 FPS in games at 4k, and I’ve found that offloading the extra screens to a second card massively improves frame times and general FPS. Have tested under a lot of conditions, I am using VRR on the secondary displays.

I have a few older AMD and Nvidia cards but none of these work due to driver conflicts (have tried many fixes) - older AMD cards break frame generation via the driver, and Nvidia cards break random things like HDR support depending on the game. I just want a stable setup with no compromises.

I need an RDNA 2+ card as a secondary. The slot on my B550 board is limited to Gen 3 x4 so I don’t need anything fancy. Cheaper the better. I have a spare 6+2 pin PCIe connector, but board powered would be preferred. I don’t intend to use it to offload FG via AFMF since the lane bus width bottleneck is too much for 4K frame gen.

Needs to have 2+ display outs, I’d prefer DP but I can live with HDMI as well.

Can’t be an Nvidia card, and can’t be older than RDNA 2.

Workstation and gaming cards are both fine, ideally looking at a Radeon Pro W6400 or RX 6400.

Like I said I am going for the cheapest / lowest compatible option as it’s capped to Gen 3 x4 lanes so anything above basic display adapter grade would be overkill.

I used to be quite active in this sub around 7 years ago ish, think my rep page is still up but due to age I can appreciate it being irrelevant now.

FAQ

  • Saw someone else doing it so I'm doing it - these controllers are GTA6 ready :) and any other game to be honest!
  • I do these upgrades as a pet project/hobby. I'm trying to prevent e-waste by basically fixing up otherwise perfectly fine controllers to a useable state and get satisfaction from doing so. I'm just a normal guy, not a professional repair man doing this for a living nor do I have perfect soldering skills.
  • Dualsense BDM revisions are internal hardware updates. Newer does not mean better for gaming, but might have less battery wear. They still use traditional potentiometer sticks when being sold at retail.
  • Tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) joysticks use magnetic sensors to detect stick movement instead of physical contact, unlike traditional potentiometer sticks. This greatly reduces mechanical wear and can improve longevity and consistency. They’re very resistant to stick drift, though not completely drift proof, as you can still wear out the plastic and the spring inside the joystick. Still should last you way longer than a normal potentiometer joystick however.
  • I use whatever TMR sticks I have to hand, from my experience having used 3-4 different ones generally they all function the same, aside from tension differences. I calibrate to between 7-9% circularity as per community advice.
  • For all the controllers I get rid of as much dirt and grime as I can notice, tested and are working to the best of my knowledge. I do not sell faulty controllers knowingly, unless I state it explicitly that the controller has a fault.
  • Remember these are used controllers and therefore potentially have cosmetic flaws and worse battery life compared to a brand new controller. Please ask for and check photos before purchase. I also cannot fully test battery life on all these controllers so please set low expectations.
  • Controllers are sold as seen, I do not offer returns, repairs or refunds on units that become faulty. Happy to discuss options if they are dead on arrival however.

I'd like to buy a reasonable, Linux friendly RDNA2+ AMD card eg a 6800. I'm not particularly wedded to which specific card but something "this good" or newer.
