    Anyone else tempted to cash in on the crazy prices?

    Pretty much what I did to my downstairs media system, it really didn't need 2 480s in it when all I do is watch movies and youtube when friends are down. My 7950 can probably still play cs:go or tf2 if the mood takes me. A lot of the crypto boom is driven by panic from epic money printing by...

    Anyone else tempted to cash in on the crazy prices?

    Thought I'd jump on to see what was going on with gfx card prices, seems like it's a mining boom and a silicone shortage. An alignment of the planets. Recon it's a good time to sell my old 480s and 580s? I have 5 or 6 and they seem to be going for 3-400.

    HD7970 & Freesync?

    Going back a while, I read that freesinc was only supported for video playback and not 3D environments on 79*0 cards.

    Goddamnit. Spent ages looking at this, it's not a special edition. It looks like they light up as it's inlayed with clear plastic. I guess it just doesn't. At least I got the backplate and side to light up in red. Hopefully they will atleast fix trixx to support its LEDs at some point. Cheers...

    Awesome, you're a star. That has fixed the cards RGB. Still not getting the fan surrounds lighting up, Is there a jumper or something I'm missing? The only manuals enclosed are for the system fan headers and the support brace, ha.

    The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

    Hi guys. I've just got a v56 Sapphire Nitro+, as in the offer thread. It's supposed to have RGB LED effects but they aren't showing in Trixx, just no option to enable them, the LEDs around the fan aren't on either. It's not just me who has a card like this from the offer and I've found posts on...

    Figured that there was more chance of someone in here buying one with the offer etc but I'll stick my head in, see if I can find any answers.

    Still no joy getting the RGB working on this v56, looking at some youtube trixx vids I seem to be missing options at the gui.

    THE MAGNIFICENT 7: BIG DISCOUNTS ON GRAPHICS CARDS!!

    Having a mini panic attack here. This v56 is supposed to be RGB but there is an RGB and none RGB version, apparently. I might be wrong I'm only going from one post on reddit but that guys card came from case king. I have downloaded trixx but I can't see RGB settings anywhere. Has anyone got...

    THE MAGNIFICENT 7: BIG DISCOUNTS ON GRAPHICS CARDS!!

    I'm quite looking forward to connecting my 2 front 140mm fans into that fan port on the Nitro, nice feature that. So happy it's full RGB and not just blue. Shame it doesn't have 3x display port as it would have been the perfect card for me. I'd have another for crossfire if I could, although...

    GPU prices go boom

    You guys are all getting a little heated in here, eh. Both for and against need to stop making such black and white arguments. It's like far left vs far right, where an idea eclipses reality.

    GPU prices go boom

    Not just ETH, anything that uses that algo, as you say. It's also not great at cryptonight with a much higher ROI, pretty much any algoritham that is memory sensative. Even at £500 the 580 has a better ROI than the 1080. Correct me if I'm wrong and I may be but at cryptonight the 1080 gets...

    GPU prices go boom

    The 1080 is pretty bad at mining because of its gddr5x, miners tend to avoid them.
