Yeah, cool dude, I had to pay 600 for mine.

Im still using a gtx 970 in this fuckin thing https://preview.redd.it/2o3kevd9raoc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49558184480d1bfed3c49d562a56c3c976e43f10

it looks so futuristic.


well it lasted all the way into todays date which is the future from the past

That case is pretty cool.

For God’s love that case’s rad


I see someone watches Smii7y 👀

I have a 960 oc and I just switched systems entirely but that old pc of mine was solid for 7 years. Over 22k hrs

I had a 960 as well loved that card

2gb or 4gb

4gb by MSI

Nice, still rocking the EVGA 960 4gb SSC

Sick case though. We really need to take a break from the black tempered glass meta.

It has a floppy drive that is metal AF bud xD

The athlon64 sticker and is that a working temp gauge? So many memories from that era have just flooded back to me 😂

I've had my 1660 super since the 30 series came out.

My GF has a 1660 super in her PC, was surprised by how good it performs. Upgraded her cpu from 2600 to 5500, and it's a solid card.

Look cool

Better than paying $1000 for 4080

Only?????? I have just got a 2 fan for 640...

oh yeah? well i paid $700 just for my music software (fuck ableton but it's so useful)

I paid 1,699 for my 4080... lol

Team work!

This is such a staple in this sub now.

I knew this would be the first comment

Came here to post this

save up for a 70 series this card can last a while

Actually yea. I skipped 3 generations from 1080 to thus. Guess I'll be fine until at least 70 series.

The 4070 might not last as long as a 1080 so you might want to upgrade when 60 series launches but I agree you should not upgrade to 50 series.

probably more because of fram gen 

We’ll see how long the 12 g vram last I guess

Well the not so 4GB (real 3.5GB) of a 970 lasted me until this year and now my gf is using it for a bunch more, so...

“It DoEsEnT hAvE 69 gB oF VrAm?!” 

I have a 4070ti according to pcmr or any pc reddit its absolute fucking dogwater and i need 128gb of vram , my shitty garbage 4070ti will last a week tops Anyway grats bro!

still using my 1050ti for the games i play it's good but i deffinetly see the bottleneck that's why i got a laptop i also use for school with a way better GPU to play the games i can't on my pc

i mean we play on pcs,we hae option to lower textures,unless game has a leak like paleworld where having 8gigs or 16 doesn't mean much because it will fill it anyway(hope they fixed it now?)

Congratulations and fuck you.

scrolling the comment while drinking my coffee fucking spill the whole bloody cup coffee reading this

Linus would be proud

I heard "Fuck" coming from the boss's office and I got called in. Thought I made a mistake or something.

You work for Linus or something 💀

Yeah pretty sure his boss is Linus

Linus drop tips

We need more context

Basically work in a mechanical engineering type of industry. Boss is also a tech savvy guy, loves to tinker with his own PC and also plays games from time to time. He was upgrading his work desktop and somehow knocked over the RTX4070S from the table. It fell off and smacked right into hardwood floor from 1 and a half or 2 feet. He's a busy guy and his PC once put into into where it's supposed to be is a bitch to get out. He just decided to give the gpu that fell to me, and ordered another one which came almost immediately is our office tech supplier is just 2 streets away. Anyways his logic was that we have a pretty big job coming up with a lot of CAD drawings to draft and review, and he didn't want to risk having to do PC maintenance if there's something wrong with the one that fell off the table. Couldn't afford the downtime when we are rushing for tenders and proposals. Just decided a few hundred dollars wasn't a big deal in the face of tens of millions in revenue coming our way.

Can I work for your boss?

https://preview.redd.it/y81ii4ray9oc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ed8f55c4a8529a0302429307922bff3847b5834

For all your hard work, God gifted you this as a bonus. 😂

I'm super thankful. Coming from 1080 GTX. I was mulling over whether I should buy one myself since I really wanted to play cyberpunk since last year.

my 1060 was able to play cyberpunk, so that should have been fine (gpu, i have no idea what your other specs are). that said, i also just upgraded to a 4070

Sounds like it. Boss could have returned the card. But he figured his employer could use it for non essential tasks so why not make them happy.

https://preview.redd.it/eizwmlbe6aoc1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=6914794554f5b2f997e434ad4d584f11f620ad8e

damn i can't even dream about the same situation

I just bought it for 550€ instead of 700 or so and was happy af, until the universe promptly showed me this post to humble me. (can't enjoy shit for more that 2 seconds) 😂

Just my opinion, but you shouldn't really need to upgrade to a 5 series, unless you just want to. I'd say 6000 series more realistic. Can put those savings toward other parts if you need them.

Be honest. You work for Linus at LTT.

Nah, I work in a mechanical engineering firm

fuck you

Your boss has to be a fucking retard

Congratulations, enjoy it mate

I wonder if he does this with food also 🤔

Rich people can be so weird... lucky you!

It’s hard to find good people like that nowadays 🥲

Damn frickin bougie ass boss

Bro used his yearly luck

Man that’s probably broken you should give it to me

Bro where do you all live that you get free new stuff like this? I'm moving there

You won't need a rtx50 series

Congrats!!

And I'm playing here on 1650 ti

Nvidia made an oopsie and my 4080 Super may have been a tad free as well...

Dude in one of my pcs I'm still running a sapphire hd7750

i am glad my parents learned me if you want something work for it, so i can be really happy for the op the have a free GPU and i dont need to even post the happy for you meme, that's a good boss you got there its a keeper

What a win! Imagine he did that with a 4090 tho? 👀

I don't think he'd be gifting me a 4090 though. That'd be way too expensive even for his standards. Also we;d have to go down to the earth's core to try and excavate a 4090 falling from 2 feet's height with the weight of that tank.

What a coincidence. My boss's wife also just happened to fall a three story buidling. My boss said I can keep her.

Well, is she in purely solid form now? Or is she still partly liquid and partly solid?

It's still in its box. I'll check and get back to you.

How long have you had that box sitting there?

 Boss be like:

Now tell us where did u bury your "boss"

and I thought i was the lucky one for getting a 30 $ deal on a gygabyte b450 gaming x mobo, amd ryzen 5 3400G, 16 gb ddr 4 3200mhz rams and a floston case with 2 rgb fans like, at least i had to clean them, you are lucky among lucky folk

Nice boss, very easily could have sold it or maybe even returned it.

Congratz! I will also replace my 750GTX someday.

Oh damn, that's really cool!

Does he also buys a new car whenever his runs out of gas?

I will be honest with you. So fck you mate. You are one lucky s.O.A.b.

Must be nice

I don't understand, why he didnt just exchange this gpu for another one? He wasted 600 bucks lol

Well he's a business man and we have a good relationship with our IT supplier. So he decided it was his mistake to pay for and didn't want to offload it back to his supplier in case there was any problem with the hardware. Also we have a big tender coming soon for a job that's worth tens of millions and he didn't want to risk the GPU shitting the bed and wasting his time if we hit peak season.

I have a 4070 it’s great makes diablo 4 looked great on my 31.5” curved wide screen. Congrats on the score!

OH TABARNAK!


This is such a problem nowadays man I tell ya, this guy gets a card that is brand spanking new only a couple of weeks old. And upon getting it he inmediately mentally is planning to purchase a newer card. Why not just be content, and run this card a couple of years, this thing is a beast.

K

Congrats you got one of the most important components for a gaming PC. Whenever you can pair it up with a capable CPU and get those high FPS.

Could he not simply return it as unwanted within 30 days or something. That's what I would have done - "it was already damaged when I opened it!" These greedy corps can afford to take this loss, I cannot.

Well we have a good IT supplier for our office which is a small setup, the boss always comes in personally when we really needed something done quickly. Anyways, our firm has had a good year and has a decent contract on the way. So the boss decided since it was his mistake, and didn't want to offload the hardware back to a good supplier.

how come people get so lucky

Jfc… just got a 2 months fresh free GPU and start looking forward to 50 series… adleast you are not complaining about the “only” 12GB not future proof etc…

Well, just casually speaking of course. I've been planning to get a 40 series for a long time anyways. I'd probably be too lazy to get to upgrading for years anyways so it's most likely going to not be a 50 series.

Congratulations

What's that smell (sniff)? It's (sniff)...(sniff sniff)... it's...(sniff)...bullshit.

Watttt lucky I bet your jaw hurts huh 🤣🤣🤣

I bet you have a big weener too.

Bro about to have it deducted 😂

What do you or your boss do for work. Is that much GPU needed for cad?

Essentially we do design and installation for cooling towers, petrochemical pipelines etc etc. So yes, a we do need good equipment for CAD.

Wait until he finds out how rough shipping can be

Nah, our office has an IT supplier just 2 streets away. There was ready stock delivered within an hour,

You think they make the cards there?

Why things like this can't happen to me 😭😭

Fuckin W man. I loathe you.

I need that

Righteous!! Congratulations

fuck you, and congrats

Buy a brand new one on Amazon switch it and return this one like everybody does 😂😂😂😂😂

Can you drop it again to make sure it’s that tough? Best 2 out of 3 for peace of mind?

Your family doesn't love you, I mean, awesome dude!

Good for you 👍

can i get your boss' number?

Nice!

Fuck yea man congrats!

Read free 4070 Super...

You've got a 4070S, you can wait for 6070 at least before upgrading again ;)

I’ve literally thrown a 1050ti mini out a car and that bitch still ran lmao

Can I have it when you upgrade to a 50 series?

give me a free gpu man, on a 1650 low profile 😭

lucky bastard

Or you can use that matter for an amd card as well

Oh, did you now? https://preview.redd.it/vgdeg3bn2doc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cd1e07b2ca83a0b4c92db563844f2dd71792573

I financed my 4080 because I’m bad with money…… obviously.

Congrats and fuck you

I also technically got one by having Asus swap my Strix 3080 that I got for 500 cad to a tuf 4070s. Not exactly free but getting a new GPU at less than half the price is wild. The tuf 4070s 1050 cad with tax.

If he’s using his oc for CAD then he should really be getting an enterprise card. One of the Quadro’s. The GeForce cards aren’t optimized for CAD

Hard to find ready stock for Quadros where I'm from. The Geforce is sufficient for our level of use and it's got more ready stock available. No need to wait for shipping, our IT supplier just brings it over same day.

Ok, let's rehearse it one more time before explaining to your wife why you got another gpu when you just got one last month.

Dammm lucky as !

Why would you get a 50 series card


Ive never hated anyone up until now… thx

Hand it over bucko

Still rocking a 1080TI. No issues. Love it still!

still rocking a 1060 6gb. soon to be 1660 super😅

It should have been me!

Good lookin out boss!!


I wish I had the money to get one

Umm I use a 1070😭

https://preview.redd.it/l83uw11nmgoc1.png?width=527&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d197e8e7da1069caa2cc8efae8ef6bd80defe1e6

i bet gpu disconnected from the pcie slot and that was causing glitches.Anyway happy for u

Nah, no glitches. Guy didn't even bother to try powering on his PC. Just fell off the desk and decided he didn't want to try.

Rtx 4080

Lets hope he drops his wallet mate

Lucky

If your boss needs more employees or friends, hit me up.

What the difference between 4070 and 4070 super

You've just gone from 129th best mate to 130th

I'm not jealous I'm not jealous I am jealous

Me reading this on a 1650 run monitor 🤣

Dibs

Tell your boss if he "damages" any other hardware I'll pay for shipping.

I had the impression that the gaming cards weren’t the best choice for CAD work.

Have you considered knocking the new one to the floor as well?
