The fps is 50ish

molten coral
#

oops

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper ryzen 5 or 7 will do good

molten coral
#

@prime jasper If you gonna upgrade you will need a new motherboard and ram too

prime jasper
#

sdly

#

and maybe a new case

#

does drive or wifi affect installion

#

like a setup.exe thing

#

my friend made a usb rad as fast as a hardrive

#

raid

#

wait

#

aWeSmartGif floppy disk raid

#

i'm from litva, also a gopnik style with vodka and cheap beer of alkashu in my blood and heart.
my pc is cooler by soviet union jet system and thermal mayonaise.

a piss cooled pc how about that

unique gale
#

@acoustic quail maby, i have a seagate barracuda hardrive

#

i don't know how that works though

acoustic quail
#

um

#

Barracuda 5.4kPM or 7.2kPM

unique gale
#

7.2

acoustic quail
#

if 5.4kPM i believe u are fucked up

#

nice

unique gale
#

7,200 RPM performance - from 250GB all the way up to 3TB

acoustic quail
#

do u face the same issue on other games?

unique gale
#

it says that on the store page

#

no

#

only battlefield 1 and 5

#

haven't tried any other origin games though

acoustic quail
#

thats weird

#

Maybe try reinstalling Origin Client?
You know , re-installing usually works ™

unique gale
#

i don't have a good internet, but it should be good enough for gaminng

craggy dagger
#

need help

#

updated my pc and cant type in english in bf5

latent light
#

4K 240 fps

#

I doubt it will run BFV at 4K 60 fps

#

also doubt next gen will try to push games over 60 fps

craggy dagger
#

can i get some help?

#

please

steep gust
#

next gen won't even do 4k

#

Rock solid 1080p 100fps won't be ideal

red ingot
#

anyone got troubleshooting tips for a pc that won't power on

keen forge
#

Is your language setting in windows correct, @craggy dagger?

red ingot
#

just put a new build together for a friend and its not powering on

dusky wasp
#

Test the PSU

#

oh

#

Did you connect the cables all correctly

red ingot
#

mobo looks like its getting power

#

yeah

dusky wasp
#

to the correct slots

#

okay

#

is the front io wired up

keen forge
#

So is the monitor not coming on?

red ingot
#

yeah

craggy dagger
#

@keen forge i didnt do anything, my pc updated and now i cant type in english altough i clearly can in discord etc

red ingot
#

no like fans wont even start up

#

pled doesn't come on

#

etc

#

like the mobo lights up (there's a little power button on the mobo) so i can see that its getting power

#

reseated the cpu and ram

keen forge
#

You don’t happen to have a spare mobo at all?

red ingot
#

by spare i have the one in my current pc...

#

which i really really don't want to take apart rn to test

keen forge
#

Yeah that’s a bit of a hassle

red ingot
#

and like

#

these are all my old parts

#

which i upgraded ~1 month ago

#

and they worked then

#

only "new" items are psu and hdd

#

everything else is my old parts which all worked before..

#

thus why i feel like it could be a psu issue, but doesn't seem like it cause mobo seems to be getting power

keen forge
#

Do you get any beep codes?

red ingot
#

nope

#

no codes

#

nothing

#

never had this before

#

ive always at least been able to POST/get an error code

#

so then i can troubleshoot

cold loom
#

idk in which channel to ask, but does anyone have issues with missing ground textures in bf5?

keen forge
#

Remove everything and just turn it on

red ingot
#

so like

#

remove what

keen forge
#

Just have the mobo connected and a monitor in one of the onboard outputs

red ingot
#

and uh

#

remove gpu hdd cpu ram?

keen forge
#

Yeah

red ingot
#

er

#

wouldn't that not do anything

#

either way

keen forge
#

You can get into BIOS

#

IIRC

red ingot
#

w/out cpu ram?

keen forge
#

Yeah

red ingot
#

huh

#

and i guess if that doesn't work

#

it means my board is fucked

keen forge
#

Possibly

steep gust
#

uh no

#

generally you need a CPU to get into the BIOS

keen forge
#

You shouldn’t get BIOS sorry, but it should POST

steep gust
#

or some kind of display output (aka the iGPU)

#

yeah the motherboard should light up

#

and then give you a post code error

red ingot
#

hm

#

well im gonna try to reconnect the 2x4 pin cpu connector

#

maybe i didn't connect it properly

#

i remember I was having a hell of a time with it cause it barely had enough room to get there..

#

(little slack)

keen forge
#

Did you test it with a different PSU?

red ingot
#

no

keen forge
#

Oh

red ingot
#

i mean i have another one upstairs, but its like 8 years old

#

and it hasn't been used in 3

#

that's why i recommended a new psu

steep gust
#

PSU shouldn't be an issue

keen forge
#

Yeah if there’s lights it shouldn’t be the PSU

red ingot
#

all my other components worked ~1 month ago

#

yeah

#

that's why im thinking it might be the 2x4 cpu cable..

#

quick google-fu told me apparently if that's not connected properly u won't boot

steep gust
#

It also shouldn't be the cable itself

#

cable is just copper

red ingot
#

well as in if i didn't plug it in properly

keen forge
#

Try 1 stick of ram and the cpu

steep gust
#

but if you failed to connect it then yeah it won't post

#

It should still turn on

red ingot
#

greeeeat

steep gust
#

and you should have standby LEDs

keen forge
#

And, yeah, connect it

red ingot
#

well its connected

#

but i'll try reconnecting

#

mebbe it didn't go all the way in

steep gust
#

Your motherboard uses the 24 pin power

red ingot
#

🤷

#

yeah

#

the 24 pin is fine

steep gust
#

So it should still light up

red ingot
#

yeah

#

board lights up

steep gust
#

bent pins?

red ingot
#

shouldn't be..

steep gust
#

yeah I said the same thing when I bent pins

red ingot
#

i mean i re-seated the cpu

steep gust
#

rip that motherboard by that way

red ingot
#

o no

#

like

keen forge
#

I once spent a good half hour trying to work out why my monitor wasn’t displaying anything, turns out I hadn’t plugged it in :/

red ingot
#

i know you're not supposed to

#

but i was lazy and stored it with the cpu still inserted

steep gust
#

that should be fine

red ingot
#

rather than removing and putting the cap back on

#

but

#

i don't see how the pins could get bent

#

from doing that

steep gust
#

yeah same

#

I didn't ever remove my CPU

red ingot
#

🤷

steep gust
#

but bent pins somehow

red ingot
#

yeah same

#

wtffff

steep gust
#

then again

red ingot
#

so i guess i should check

steep gust
#

I left an AIO on

#

to move cases

red ingot
#

hm

steep gust
#

So it had pressure on the socket

red ingot
#

i took off the AIO

steep gust
#

which might have done it

red ingot
#

mebbe i should check anyways

#

double check

#

well ill try the cpu cable first

#

although

steep gust
#

Its not hard to check the cpu

red ingot
#

u said it should POST at least

steep gust
#

I don't think mine did with bent pins

red ingot
#

even if CPU not connected properly

steep gust
#

Like it lit up

#

and nothing

red ingot
#

yeah

#

ok

#

mebbe ill check for bent pins

#

thx

#

god this is stressful HaHAA

steep gust
#

Since with bent pins the CPU won't run

red ingot
#

ive always at least been able to POST

steep gust
#

Depending on the CPU

red ingot
#

yeah

steep gust
#

and so it won't return anything to the motherboard

red ingot
#

well hopefully it's just that..

steep gust
#

bent pins aren't fun on LGA1151

#

lots of them

keen forge
#

Bent CPU pins are a nice easy fix, my 1800x shipped with a couple

red ingot
#

rip

steep gust
#

and they are brittle af

#

AMD CPU pins are a lot stronger than motherboard pins

keen forge
#

Oh you meant mobo pins

#

Yeah good luck with that one xD

steep gust
#

idk if he is on Intel or AMD

#

I broke a pin off and gave up

#

had like 3 more to go

keen forge
#

Oh damn, broken pin must be the worst

steep gust
#

but like the one was bent to the point it was touching the back of the socket

#

Really really confused how

latent light
#

motherboard pins are weak?

steep gust
#

on lga1151 yes

keen forge
#

Hey, just duct tape it back on

steep gust
#

they are tiny pieces of copper

#

like tiny tiny pieces

latent light
#

pins on AMD cpus are pretty sturdy

steep gust
#

AM4 has less pins

keen forge
#

I only had like 2 or 3 bent ones and they were right on the outside so it was quite easy to bend back

steep gust
#

and is bigger than the LGA1151 socket IIRC

latent light
#

I dropped my old Fx-8350 from around shoulder height and a pin slightly bent but i bent it back lol

steep gust
#

oh yeah I wish Intel didn't use socket pins

#

motherboard was only worth $120 at the time I broke it

#

and I was gonna replace it

#

but still annoying to kill it

#

and not kill it by blowing up the VRM

latent light
#

HWinfo only shows my VRMs going to 60C maximum under load

#

don't think it's accurate

steep gust
#

mosfets don't get that hot

#

if you have airflow and any form of heatsink

latent light
#

i got a ryzen stock cooler which apparently are decent for VRM cooling because the blow-down style of it

red ingot
#

well

#

no bent pins

#

although my 2x4 cpu seems to not be sitting right

#

so ill try that

steep gust
#

I use an AIO so I wouldn't have any airflow if wasn't a top intake

latent light
#

I like these kind of coolers but it's hard to find one that's as effective as a hyper 212 evo

steep gust
#

Nocuta has some that should crush a 212

livid tiger
#

Hey

#

so I'm looking for a new headset

latent light
#

how much you wanna spend

livid tiger
#

Like 70 dollars

steep gust
#

like people stick a 8068k / 9900k into a DanCase A4 with some of them without issues

#

HyperX Cloud lineup @livid tiger

livid tiger
#

There is a turtle beach ear force stealth 450

steep gust
#

pick the one you want / afford

latent light
#

could try the Corsair HS50 or HS60

livid tiger
#

for 65 dollars

keen forge
#

I just use my headphones and a separate mic

#

Flawless system

steep gust
#

I plan to eventually buy decent headphones and like a ModMic

#

but no money

keen forge
#

Status audio make very good cheap headphones @steep gust

latent light
#

already looked at a comparison video for this cooler between the wraith prism

#

it was noticeably more quiet but the temp difference was only 2-3C

livid tiger
#

for like 65 bucks

#

are turtle beach headsets with good quality ?

latent light
#

HyperX Cloud is better tbh

keen forge
#

Yeah hyperx cloud are pretty decent

livid tiger
#

Ah

keen forge
#

Just wouldn’t wanna wear them in public xD. Then again, I wouldn’t wear any gaming headphones in public

steep gust
#

Well yeah @latent light

#

since it is small af

livid tiger
#

yeah lol

steep gust
#

but noise is huge to me so

latent light
#

those types of coolers are supposed to have fans smaller than 100mm for ram clearance and VRM heatsink clearance lol

steep gust
#

it uses a 120mm fan

#

just slim

#

so 15mm thick

#

instead of 25

latent light
#

Premium Low-profile CPU Cooler with 92mm fan for AMD AM4

steep gust
#

depending on which one

keen forge
#

I like using actual monitors because ‘gaming headphones’ generally means they use lots of drivers instead of 1 driver. It’s good for gaming but less good for music

noble meadow
#

Hi guys

steep gust
#

'gaming headphones' just mean shitty bloatware trying to stimulate 7.1 speakers on 2-6 drivers

keen forge
#

Lol yep

steep gust
#

Use a stereo config for games even if you headphones are advertised as 7.1

keen forge
#

Hey, but they’re RGB which makes them better. RGB controls available with a different software

steep gust
#

Can't do 7.1 with headphones and I'm had no issues with stereo and footsteps

noble meadow
#

Hp zbook 14 and dell e6540 is good for gaming?

latent light
#

2 fans lol

steep gust
#

if the game's audio engine isn't trash*

red ingot
#

well

#

no bent pins, reseated cpu, ram, reconnected 2x4 cpu cable

#

nada

#

fuck

steep gust
#

check the psu then

red ingot
#

even tho mobo is getting power?

steep gust
#

disable the semi passive mode and make sure the fan still turns on, etc

red ingot
#

semi passive mode?

steep gust
#

the button on the back of the psu

#

to stop the fan

#

when it is at low load

red ingot
#

hm

steep gust
#

man if your psu doesn't have that then it is old

red ingot
#

ok

#

yeah i think it has that "mode" (saw it on the box)

#

its a brand new one

noble meadow
#

Hp zbook 14 and dell e6540 is good for gaming?

red ingot
#

ill go look for that button (don't remember seeing it)

steep gust
#

because standby power is nothing

red ingot
#

ok

steep gust
#

like probably >5w

#

Does your GPU get power?

keen forge
#

What models/specs @noble meadow?

red ingot
#

no power to gpu

#

no power to fans

steep gust
#

that isn't good

red ingot
#

(fans are plugged into a molex power connector to fan controller)

steep gust
#

yeah that should get power

red ingot
#

except cpu fan which is connected to cpu fan on mobo

#

cant find that switch tho

#

ill go check psu manual

steep gust
#

look up how to jump the 24 pin atx

#

and see if the fans turn on

red ingot
#

ok

steep gust
#

I think you have to stick a paper clip in two holes

#

Its the same thing you do when filling a loop for the first time

red ingot
#

psu manual has nothing about the switch you're talking about

#

and can't find it on the psu either

livid tiger
#

I'm considering the Corsair HS70,you guys recommend it?

keen forge
#

Is Vega GF the vega integrated graphics thing?

steep gust
#

@noble meadow That isn't terrible but you won't do anymore than esport games

noble meadow

@keen forge core i7 4800mq

Vga amd ddr5 2gb

steep gust
#

GDDR5

keen forge
#

Ddr5? Wow

steep gust
#

not DDR5

keen forge
#

xD

steep gust
#

What GPU? or at least just a link to the product page

noble meadow
#

@keen forge I dont know man

#

I just copy

keen forge
#

Interesting the onboard vega chips don’t use HBM2, then again for 2 gig that seems a little pointless

steep gust
#

HBM2 cost a lot

#

and takes up some space

keen forge
#

Yeah

steep gust
#

saying it cost a lot is an understatement

#

a large portion of Vega 64's cost was just memory

latent light
#

HBM2 was pointless on vega lol

#

GDDR5 would of made it much more affordable

#

and would of boosted vega sales

steep gust
#

HBM2 is worthless for gaming cards

latent light
#

is HBM2 power consumption higher than GDDR5?

steep gust
#

@noble meadow AMD Radeon HD 8790M

#

took forever to find

keen forge
#

The processor hits 3.7 max and was high end in 2013, not sure how it would do now

steep gust
#

Fine

#

for 1080p 60hz gaming

#

which is what its meant for

keen forge
#

I’m not a laptop expert

steep gust
#

as long as he only plays

#

like csgo

#

it should be fine

keen forge
#

Lol

steep gust
#

it won't run bfv

noble meadow
#

Hey

keen forge
#

My windows XP laptop with, like, an atom ran CSGO

noble meadow
#

Its good or not

steep gust
#

@latent light HBM2 is more power efficient

noble meadow
steep gust
#

Depends on the price

#

Like I hope that is just bad translation

keen forge
#

How much are you planning on spending, @noble meadow?

noble meadow
#

@keen forge that not for me

keen forge
#

Preferably in ÂŁ or at a stretch, $

#

Who’s it for?

noble meadow
#

My friend ask is good or not @keen forge

keen forge
#

Depends what games your friend plays

steep gust
#

Can you tell us the price in whatever currency it is suppose to be in?

noble meadow
#

Gta and rainbow @keen forge

steep gust
#

I can't read Arabic

keen forge
#

Nope

steep gust
#

It should be ok for rainbow

#

but not gta5

keen forge
#

GTA is a bitch

noble meadow
#

@steep gust it persianHaHAA

#

@keen forge hey im fan of gta

keen forge
#

So am I, but it’s a bitch to run

#

I mean, at least it doesn’t attack your CPU like AC

noble meadow
keen forge
#

So what’s the price of it in the currency it’s in, @noble meadow?

noble meadow
#

@steep gust 100000 rial is one dollar

steep gust
#

Well its like $250 on ebay

#

so around there would be ideal

keen forge
#

Yeah

#

Google translate says 5k USD, which seems a tad overpriced

noble meadow
#

@steep gust you say currency on that link?

steep gust
#

It says $4900 USD

#

which is really bad

noble meadow
#

@steep gust its toman

#

We have two currency

keen forge
#

Would run GTAV at about 10-30FPS max, all settings turned all the way down

noble meadow
#

Toman and rail

red ingot
#

alright

#

shorting it didnt work

#

so i guess my psu is doa

noble meadow
#

My self want buy i5 7100 and 1050tu

#

But my friends I dont have any idea

keen forge
#

Are you determined on going for air cooling, @latent light?

latent light
#

yes

#

air cooling also cools VRMs

keen forge
#

Fair enough, then yeah that one is probably good, especially low profile

latent light
#

will probably put another 120mm fan on it because that brown and tan won't look nice in my pc lol

keen forge
#

I have a friend with a mega thicc case, he went for an arctic freezer, a 180 or 200mm case fan right above it and 3 noctua fans on the sides and middle, his CPU stays frosty

steep gust
#

VRMs don't get hot

#

with any proper heatsink

latent light
#

Cryorig C7 is not worth it

#

much louder than Wraith Stealth lmao

steep gust
#

3 hours?

#

it took like 7 for me

minor turret
#

Man wraith stealth is so shit that even vintage hyper evo 212 cools better by like 20 degrees

mental hatch
#

An aftermarket cools better then a stock cooler

red ingot
#

ayyy

mental hatch
#

In other news humans require air to live

red ingot
#

was a psu issue

#

exchanged psu

#

works fine now

#

thx for help everyone

steep gust
#

That'll be $20 @red ingot pepe

latent light
#

been looking everywhere for a super tiny psu

#

and found this which seems to be a hazard

That be a server psu

There is SFX PSUs

I'll try to find it

unless for office use?

steep gust

nah

#

for stuff like the DanCase A4

#

with long GPUs + other stuff

red ingot

wat

steep gust
#
Compatible with Intel Mini-STX motherboard```

I mean you could

red ingot

wow

but its gonna be proprietary as shit

thats gotta me small af

Mini-STX is a motherboard form factor that supports upgradable processors. The motherboard size is 147×140 mm```
red ingot

I have bought several of these units.```
#

wat

#

I have bought several of these units.

#

wat

#

why

latent light
#

my friend wants a build like this

#

Ryzen apu

red ingot
#

is that even a question

steep gust
#

That is like

red ingot
#

no gpu

#

for gaming

steep gust
#

5.5" to 4" for the motherboard

#

and yeah for non esports

#

I'd recommend a GPU

#

A DanCase A4 ain't that big

red ingot
#

well

#

with the apu

#

hes getting like 40fps

latent light
#

I was looking at the Cooler Master Elite 110

red ingot
#

so its doable

#

but i think getting like a 1050 is probably a better idea

#

or 1060

steep gust
#

40fps isn't fun

steep gust
#

cube cases aren't very efficient tbh

#

smaller boi

#

7.2L is about the smallest you can get with a full length GPU + SFX PSU

steep gust
#

because they aren't in very high demand

#

and hard to make

#

built in wifi is like $20 more

latent light
#

PCPartPicker doesn't have as much selection as you'd think

u gettin that

#

he may wait until X570 ITX boards come out

keen forge
#

Thermaltake core v1 is a really nice mini ITX case

#

I went for mATX and a V21 instead

steep gust

but

#

mATX is worthless

#

@latent light don't see why you think it will be released

latent light
#

next month

#

they've already said AMD CPUs will be launched right after CES happens

forest token
#

ces of 2030 happy

latent light
#

Ryzen 3 may not be launched at CES though

forest token
#

speculation

latent light
#

only 5, 7 and 9

#

Zen 2 launch at CES is confirmed already

#

we just don't know what exact CPUs will be launched then

steep gust
#

I like how AMD has said nothing on Zen 2 outside of something at CES

#

but people keep claiming shit LUL

buoyant rover
#

^

#

I'd like their optimism to come true but uhh

sonic osprey
#

i highly doubt you can get your hands on the new ryzens, not until late q2... if they really gonna "launch" them at CES, they should be already hyped at sales etc, they are just gonna introduce them and tell you about the release schedule, which will span over multiple years

buoyant rover
#

I doubt AMD just steals the CPU market in a single release

forest token
#

well intel has a new architecture they have been working on

#

Sunny Cove core design

steep gust
#

Cannonlake has been in design

#

since like 2014

lofty light
#

Intel 10nm has been in the works for so long

#

It's just they haven't released any deets on it

molten bramble
#

They've got another project that uses synthetic crystals and light for processing that they've been working on since the mid-90s with I think Raytheon or something, no idea where they're at with it.

steep gust
#

EUV is how they will do sub 10nm

sonic osprey

intel has had 10nm and 7nm process going parallel, the rumors are that they will dump the 10nm and go with the 7nm

lofty light
#

So they'll take another 5 years for 7nm and keep us on 14nm for another 7 years HaHAA

sonic osprey
#

well, intel is a business, and the business is to make profit, if they can keep selling performance increments based on old 14nm, then why not do it, as long as there is no competition...

#

and if they will get competition on the top tier stuff, they will most likely be prepared, it is highly unlikely that amd has something prepared that intel does not. its like playing poker, you hide your hand until your oppponent makes a move and then you base your actions based on their out played hand

red ingot
#

Yep

#

Sounds about right

molten bramble
#

@lofty light Well, the 45nm lasted me for a decade, so I'm not too concerned about how long it takes them to make it happen so long as it has that kind of lifespan for the future.

#

@sonic osprey Indeed, I agree. They've always about a decade ahead of AMD tbh, but not all of what they create makes it into the consumer's hands, and that's where AMD does it's work because it doesn't have the deep developmental connections Intel does with mainly the scientific and defense communities. So when Intel pushes a new line, AMD is always in catch-up, eventually surpassing Intel in that space... but then Intel pushes the next line, and the cycle restarts itself--it's been that way from the start.

latent light
#

Intel has much more money to put into R&D than AMD, Nvidia does too in the GPU department

#

it wouldn't be hard for AMD to become the leader in the low and mid-range market which is what makes up 90% of the PC gaming community

What primary monitor do you have? @prime jasper

prime jasper
#

sadly i cant use this monitor

#

its 1080p 60 hz

#

but its an aio

#

so no display ports

quaint topaz
#

oof

prime jasper
#

theres a 90 $ hp one but im scared bc no gsync

steep gust
#

gsync cost like $200 for the manufacturer to add

#

and for 1080p its only worthwhile on a 240hz monitor

prime jasper
#

oh well

quaint topaz
#

G sync is very good

#

I tried a g sync monitor, took me a while to get used to my old one

#

Less choppy

prime jasper
#

im thinking to stick with the 720p one until i have money for a good one

quaint topaz
#

More smooth for inconsistent fps

#

Yeah that's what I'd do

steep gust
#

or

#

just get a good pc and play at 1080p

#

I get 120+ fps in every game and very rarely (only BFV) do I drop to 100fps

#

Which is fine on a 1080p 144hz panel

prime jasper
#

pls stop flexing

#

im on a budget

#

i dont poop money

#

I sit at like 70 to 90 fps with everything maxed, pretty sure I could hit 100 constant if I had my CPU overclocked BlobCatDerp

#

i get 1 -10 fps

#

with everything on low'

pure prism
#

anyone try DXR?

quaint topaz
#

@prime jasper my motherboard is a Gigabyte Aorus z370 gaming 7

#

while it looks pretty, i really don't recommend Aorus

#

their software is absolutely painful to work with, barely even works

prime jasper
#

is i buy a prebuilt?

#

should

#

i wana build a pc but my dad says get a prebuilt

#

lol ok

#

is this a good price for a prebuilt 2 tb storage i7 7thgen cpu gtx 1060 and 16 gb ram

#

i think its 7thgen

#

leme check

#

1200$ btw

steep gust
#

Gigabyte has the best Z390 motherboards so shruganimated @quaint topaz

#

Don't get a pre built

prime jasper
#

why tho

quaint topaz
#

Don't get a pre-built. I know someone who opted for a prebuilt and now regrets it.

steep gust
#

A. The 7700k is dated and over priced

B. Which 1060? Also they are overpriced compared to a 580 / 590 / 1070

C. RAM speed?

quaint topaz
#

build it yourself it's pretty easy.

#

if I did it, you probably can.

prime jasper
#

k leme get the speed and stuff

steep gust
#

It'll probably gonna a 1x16GB stick at like 2666mhz

#

with shit timings

prime jasper
#

2x8 btw

steep gust
#

or at least get a more competitive pre built

#

Oh and wait until CES 2019

Zen2 is gonna get announced and we might have more budget CPUs coming soonTM

prime jasper
#

ye im also waiting for rtx 2060

$110

U need ssd.

steep gust
#

Pretty much

#

I can't use an HDD as my only drive anymore

prime jasper
#

intel i7 8700

steep gust
#

Not bad but overkill for a 1060

#

1060 is a budget GPU, which means you should get a budget CPU (8600, 8400, or like a 2600 / 2600x)

prime jasper
#

im saying to my brother to get a ryzen 5 and a 1070

steep gust

before buying rzyen

or at least wait until Zen+ gets cheap from Zen2

should i get a tb hhd and a 250 gb ssd?

no

just build it and use a 1TB SSD

instead of a 250GB SSD + HDD + HDD cache

whatchoo talkin aboot? 4c4t cpu isnt good for anything ;D

#

oh its 6c6t?!

#

thought 8600k was only 6c i5 released

#

3.8 all core boost, the base frequency on it is very confusing

#

what impact really does 2.8 base vs 3.6 base 8400 vs 8600k really have if they do 3.8 and 4.1 all core

steep gust
#

3.6ghz is pretty slow tho

rose eagle
#

yea i mean obviously the 300mhz per core but other than that ive never been able to identify why the core clock matters

steep gust
#

uh it runs faster

rose eagle
#

im talking about a 2.8 core 6c6t vs a 3.6 and assume they both have 4ghz boost

#

all core

steep gust
#

They don't both have the same boost clock

#

but yeah if the boost clock is the same then it is no difference

rose eagle
#

its a hypothetical yea

latent light
#

9600k and 8600k are so similar lmao

#

7600k and 8600k was quite a difference

#

8600k cannibalized the 7700k

#

it's a Sapphire Nitro+ too

#

the best 570 you can buy

comes with 2 games too lmao

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. NVIDIA touted its ability to monitor the cryptocurrency market and make rapid changes to its business as necessary. The Company claimed to be “masters at managing our channel, and we understand the channel very well.” NVIDIA also claimed to the market that any drop off in demand for its GPUs amongst cryptocurrency miners would not negatively impact the Company’s business because of strong demand for GPUs from the gaming market. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about NVIDIA, investors suffered damages.

nothing

ye the vega

but the 1080 still outperforms it

its still amd

oof

however

for certain games

it can outperform the 2070 I think

depends on the optimization ig

hm

amd or nividia

idk i wana build a pc

I'd hold my money

if you want a >high range card<

how much fps for the 1070ti?

im good with maxed 1080p 60 fps

or just mediuim

a majority of games will play at high/ultra with a 1070 ti

given that your cpu isn't required and bottlenecks the game

what cpu pairs with it?

you have to be very well aware of sales going on through slickdeals or pcpartpicker to catch a 1070ti near $350
