A garbage man found a PC at work — top-of-the-line NVIDIA RTX and AMD Threadripper

Reddit user Seizo, who works as a garbage truck driver, found a real gem in his beautifully fragrant workstation. The computer contained an NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti, and that’s not all.

It looks like someone was trying to get rid of a fairly powerful workstation quickly. It may not have the latest components, but it’s still an AMD Threadripper and a top-of-the-line NVIDIA graphics card.

The computer is equipped with a 24-core Threadripper 3960X chip based on Zen 2 architecture, which cost $1399 in 2019. Although Zen 2 is not a completely new architecture, it is the same as the one used in Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro. The PC is built on the ASUS Prime TRX40-PRO motherboard and has 32 GB of DDR4 memory.

«So I found a computer at work and it has a rtx 2080 ti 11gb, amd ryzen threadripper 3970x!!! And ddr4 32 gb. AND IT WORKS! I just dried it out for a couple days. The only thing not working is the cpu cooler display, but the fans are working. I just need to buy a new power supply — I don’t trust the one I found because it got wet».

In 2018, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card cost $999 dollars. This video card based on the Turing TU102 chip was considered really powerful and the first to be advertised as «ready for Cyberpunk 2077» — despite the fact that the game itself was still two years away from release.

Currently post has been removed for unknown reasons. It is difficult to understand why from the comments.
