How does 8GB TI compare to 12 GB regular 3060?

Dell branded RTX 3060 Ti GPUs are currently selling for ~$1300 on eBay. So if you sell the RTX 3060Ti, you are essentially buying a PC without a GPU for the price of the eBay listing fees.

Wow that sounds like a killer deal. I swear I saw these in store the other day but I didn't give them a second thought, lol. So this will do 4k@60hz without the GPU correct.

Yes without the discrete GPU, you can use the integrated GPU to output 4K@60Hz

I bought one last week. Make sure you open the box before paying for it. Mine was missing ram and the graphics card. Had to take it back it was a pain in the ass.

It runs COD at 105 fov 100 fps 144hz at normal settings real good. Heard it doesn't have efficient cooling case though.

Wow that sounds like a mess.

How easy would it be to sell the card out of this? I don't want to get stuck with the card if it's something hard to sell.

Will they let you open the pc to check content before paying?

I bought this on black friday online. It had all the components (you can check with Cpu-z).

Runs quiet, lots of USB ports, seemed to run any game I wanted. Hadn't tried mining yet but I hear it's not LHR. I returned Aurora best buy laptop after buying this one, desktop GPUs are just way faster.

I installed all dell updates, then windows updates, then made a backup of the disk image. If you make an offsite backup you can delete like 30gb in recovery partitions on the main drive, if you delete the paging, hibernate file and system recoveries you gain another few gigs.

Had to run these steps to get a linux partion working because the 1 NVME is in raid mode (weird)

Got 2 of these yesterday. Confirm not LHR but gpu ram is crummy Hynix, can't get mem OC beyond +800 otherwise crashes reboot. Require 139w to get 58 mhs. Otherwise very good price for specs.

Best to just clean install windows ASAP. Everything works and license crosses over. Get Vetroo V5 cpu cooler is all you need.

Listing fees are 12% so that's $160.
Sales tax at Costco would be $150ish.

So $300-350 for the PC. Maybe worth it, maybe not.
