I never use my camera so it works for me

quaint topaz
#

I might also switch to a Google Pixel

#

The Pixel 3a is pretty cheap

#

impressive camera but the tech inside is like mid range

flint locust
#

Can we just stop taking selfies so front cameras aren't needed

fallen harbor
#

guys

#

what are some new low tier gpus

quaint topaz
#

price range?

fallen harbor
#

like a similar price as a 750ti

#

how much is that one

quaint topaz
#

There's the GTX 1660 Ti but never bothered to check it's performance

fallen harbor
#

where u live

#

i mean

#

really low tier

quaint topaz
#

the 1660 Ti is like $230

fallen harbor
#

poor budget style

#

gotta be lower

#

maybe there isnt any

#

just asking

#

a friend has an old pc with an fx4300 and wants a gpu for it

#

a new tier gpu would be a waste

#

i suggest a 750ti but im not sure

quaint topaz
#

could go for a GTX 960 or 970 but i expect the cpu to bottleneck the living hell out of them

#

Can find GTX 9 series cards pretty cheap atm

fallen harbor
#

is the regular 960 one 4gb?

#

or 2?

latent light
#

@fallen harbor check out a RX 570

#

$120 USD

#

also comes with 2 games

#

GTX 970 performance

#

although will be bottlenecked by a Fx-4300

#

would be a good GPU to buy though even if there is a bottleneck

lofty light
#

In future you can get a better CPU for it too

#

I've seen CPUs better than that chucked weekly in my job

fallen harbor
#

is the 960 2gb or 4gb

#

ti= 4gb?

lofty light
#

It's either

fallen harbor
#

huh

quaint topaz
#

960 has 2 versions

lofty light
#

The extra vram shouldn't matter btw

fallen harbor
#

i just want to know what v ersion it is

#

because the price differs

#

also for benchmarks

lofty light
#

GN did a test and it's only going to effect like 2 games

#

Get the cheaper one

quaint topaz
#

There's both 2GB and 4GB for the same card just read the description before buying

molten bramble
#

Jesus... if only I could fix this disconnect issue.

latent light
#

@fallen harbor how much is your friend looking to spend

fallen harbor
#

local prices are a lot different

#

so i really dont know how to tell

latent light
#

if he gets a low tier GPU now and upgrades CPU/motherboard/ram in the next year, then that GPU he bought this year was a waste

fallen harbor
#

he doesnt plan on upgrading the rest any soon

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

he's kinda poor

#

tbh

#

ngl

#

like legit

latent light
#

that sucks

#

Fx-4300 won't be able to run any new games soon

#

even at 10 fps

little comet
#

Rx 570 pretty good

#

For low budget

latent light
#

yeah RX 570 is the best value, but even if that's too much, get a RX 550 or maybe a used 750Ti

lofty light
#

@little comet palpy, you're not dead!

little comet
#

Life a gtx 1050 but cheaper, more power consumption

#

Hello

#

I just built a pc

latent light
#

RX 570 is on par with the GTX 1060 3GB

#

performance wise

little comet
#

Ah

latent light
#

also has 4GB of vram which makes it even better than the 1060 3gb tbh

little comet
#

I used to be named Chiang Kai shrek

#

And kinda clueless

latent light
#

Athlon 200GE is $50 and 26% faster than Fx-4300

#

also, Fx-4300 says it has 4 cores but it really only has 2

little comet
#

Rx 570 has crazy deals

#

There was one of 120 dir rx 570 and 2 games

latent light
#

yeah

#

The Division 2 gold edition and World War Z included

#

$120 worth of games and a free GPU basically

little comet
#

Yeah

#

You could call the rx 570 the ak 47 of gpus

#

I got an rx 580 oc for mine but that's more expensive

lofty light
#

I didn't get either Yikes

little comet
#

But I can't play bf1 until Monday because I need to get it an OS tomorrow then leave for cabin

lofty light
#

Oh damn man

#

Should get win 10 and never license it

little comet
#

Lol

#

My friend found a sketchy site

lofty light
#

You have the watermark and can't change the colours but who cares about that tbh

little comet
#

My old pc had unlicensed windows 7

#

Win 10 for $20 cad (14 usd)

lofty light
#

I bought mine for $80 AUD but didn't bother licensing my server yet

It's so good

lofty light

It pree great

little comet
#

Yeah

Canadans are from canadia

little comet

Lol

little comet
#

I am from Naboo

lofty light
#

I took a ride down to Naboo, cause queen amadana wanted to

rich willow
#

how many fps could I expect when I run bf5 on gtx 970 and i7 4790?

exotic plover
#

Not good

#

JK idk

#

For reference my rtx 2080 runs bf5 at 120 fps all ultra if that helps

#

Without overclocking

#

And my friend who has a GTX 1060 runs bf5 at about 100 fps

#

On high and medium

#

@rich willow

rich willow
#

ok thank u

exotic plover
#

Maybe 60 fps medium but like I said before never used it

rich willow
#

i would like to run it over 100fps to feel a bit smoother on 144hz

exotic plover
#

Yt videos probably will tell you

rich willow
#

yes i watchd them. between 70 to 90 fps

exotic plover
#

Oh ok

#

That's not too bas

#

Bad

rich willow
#

yes i will see how it will run on low settings

exotic plover
#

Mhm

rich willow
#

but i don't want to reduce the scaling

#

then it looks like trash xD

#

Srry for my english btw i'm german

latent light
#

might get some small occasional stutter from the i7-4790, 4 cores/8 threads is the limit for BFV

exotic plover
#

Just buy a rtx 2080 ti to for 2 grand ez

#

Right lads

#

Forgot to add ti lol

rich willow
#

rtx is a bit expensive and for me, a student, this is way too much Happy

exotic plover
#

:P

rich willow
latent light
#

RX 570 stomps the GTX 970

#

I think R6 Siege is AMD optimized

rich willow
#

why should i play bf5 on such high settings?

#

I think it would be better to have more fps and lower the quality

latent light
#

that's just a comparison chart

#

RX 570 gets around 15% more performance

#

you probably need a card in the range of RX 580 to GTX 1660 Ti performance tbh

#

for your monitor

rich willow
#

yes this is the Problem. I can run bf4 on 200 fps and now everything will be killed xD

latent light
#

RX 580 gets around 90 fps with all settings on high

#

120 fps average with everything low, stays above 100

#

although could vary depending on CPU

rich willow
#

yes i heard about it

latent light
#

GTX 970 to RX 580 is only a 20% upgrade though lol

#

well, like 30% in BFV due to the game liking AMD cards for some reason

rich willow
#

120-20%

#

xD

#

so i will get around 90. i will see if i downloaded it with my trash wifi

latent light
#

when I play on everything ultra, I get 80 fps average with dips into the mid 60s

#

I've got a 580

#

and a Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.8 GHz

#

on low it seems around 120 fps average with lows down to 100

rich willow
#

i got an xeon e3 1231 v3

#

xD

#

its like an i7 4790

latent light
#

between a 3770 and 4770

#

tbh

rich willow
#

no I think it is even better then 3770

latent light
#

roughly 3% faster than 3770 and 4% slower than 4770

jade tangle
#

just use linux for gaming iTs tHe FutUrE oF GaMiNg

#

where every game runs like shit

#

talking to palpatine

rich willow
#

cloud gamingWeSmart

latent light
#

Xeons seem a bit... bipolar when it comes to gaming

#

can yours use quad channel ram?

#

nvm it's only 2 channels

lofty light
#

I can quad channel but I don't damn_DABniel

latent light
#

it would only be a 10-15% fps increase in BFV

jade tangle
#

thats a lot tbh

#

well not if you have 1fps

lofty light
#

I've already got more frames than my monitor can put out on max tbh

latent light
#

yeah 140 fps to 160 fps difference

#

quad channel also has more stable frametimes

#

but not by much

grizzled apex
#

Also I would not recommend a 1660 ti with DDR3 16gb and a 4790k. It’s a 7% decrease in performance easily

storm osprey
#

my lord ram and ssd prices are dropping

grizzled apex
#

and Rysen prices

#

probably will go up in us because of china trade issues xD

storm osprey
#

yea heard about that

#

fun

molten coral
#

RAM is actually super cheap now compared a while ago

storm osprey
#

its literally half the price

molten coral
#

Ye

#

I remember paying 400 Euro for 32GB haHAA

storm osprey
#

jesus christ

#

yea, the most popular sticks of ram on pcpartpicker at the highest price was 204 bucks, its now 90 bucks

molten coral
#

Did buy the G.skill trident z

storm osprey
#

RGB?!

molten coral
#

Yesss

storm osprey
#

lets see price for that

#

220+ before

#

is now 110

molten coral
storm osprey
#

orange?!

molten coral
#

Eh its a pretty bad picture

#

Orange/red

#

Still need to get a new cooler though

prime jasper
#

well those are addressable by the motherboard

#

I have those too lol

storm osprey
#

for my next build i want to do some rgb, but idk how

molten coral
#

I kinda want a new cooler but the thing is that I don't really wanna spent any money on my setup for a while

prime jasper
#

why would you need a new cooler?

molten coral
#

my 8700k gets really hot and this cooler is alright but there are better ones/

storm osprey
#

has 4790.... non k

supple bane
#

@storm osprey, the best way to do rgb is not to really have that many rgb parts, yes have them obs, but mainly have strip lights at the top of the case, when i went to insomnia (british gaming festival) the pc's that where on t he game booths had an rgb cooler and rgb ram, and rgb fans. and they had some super bright strip lights at the top, and this made a really cool effect

#

they had the parts on blue and the strip lights on pink and it looked amazing

storm osprey
#

oh i definitely dont want that

#

i just want some pops

supple bane
#

oh...

storm osprey
#

right now only my gpu rgb

supple bane
#

just throw on some rgb fans and an rgb cpu cooler

prime jasper
#

rgb mobo, ram, and cooler. bam youre done

supple bane
#

nah, ram doesnt look that good in rgb imo

prime jasper
#

I have all mine syncing up with aura to show temps so they all change in sync anyway

storm osprey
#

im only gonna replace my cpu, ram, and mb

#

i have 7 cougar fans that i love right now

#

not gonna buy new fans just for rgb

supple bane
#

fair enough

latent light
#

Fx-8350 and 1070Ti

prime jasper
#

sure, it'll play games. 600 though....yikes

storm osprey
#

600?!

#

you can build better for free games for slightly more...

supple bane
#

tbf i bet the 1070ti is most of that

latent light
#

it is

#

used Fx-8350 goes for like $40

supple bane
#

well a 1070ti is 810 usd in the uk

#

so that says something

latent light
#

lol just get a 2060

prime jasper
#

is that just a huge heatsink? weird ass cooler

supple bane
#

a 2060 is 400 usd here

storm osprey
#

you can get a 2600 for 145, a 1660ti for 280

#

2600 comes with 2 games

#

(idk if these deals are live atm)

#

425 right there, 175 to fill out the rest of the components to match that ad

#

what a horrible deal

latent light
#

Ryzen 5 2600 on sale for only $145 on amazon

#

2600X $160

storm osprey
#

WITH 2 free games

latent light
#

2700 $195

#

They are getting rid of Zen+ stock

storm osprey
#

oh yea

#

im guessing zen 2 is gonna be good

molten bramble
#

Man, I tell you what, for what it is, the 1660Ti has significantly helped the gameplay.

#

Still looking at taking it back this weekend and picking up a 20* series card.

steep gust
#

uh

#

1660ti to 2060 isn't much

molten bramble
#

I was looking at the 2070 tbh

#

No founders types, but they did have an MSI.

steep gust
#

2070 is a decent buy

#

don't buy the founder's edition anyways

#

I would see if they have of the binned GPUs one

#

paying an extra like $30 can easily net you a solid gain in freq

molten bramble
#

Link me to the type? I'll check.

#

Little faded at the moment, office sip-session. 😄

steep gust
#

I forget the exact

#

but its pretty much having a boost freq >1850mhz or so

molten bramble
#

Okay, that's what I thought. I could have sworn they had one. I'll talk to the dude up there tonight and see.

steep gust
#

yeah stuff with boost clocks around 1600-1700mhz will be the non-binned (so the non -A) GPUs

storm osprey
#

unless youre playing at 1440p or 240hz 1080p, i dont see a 2070 being much help

steep gust
#

Its like a 1080

#

and my 1080 sometimes hold me back at 1080p 144hz

molten coral
#

Cries in 1070

molten bramble
#

Right now, the 1660Ti @ 144 can be sporatic with the FPS. Way better than the 1050Ti by miles, I'll admit.

#

Back in a bit.

storm osprey
#

i can only see a 1080 holding back in an unoptimized game like bfv at ultra settings

steep gust
#

yeah well BFV slams both my CPU and GPU to 100%

#

or it did

#

I haven't played in 6 months

molten bramble
#

CSL is heavily unoptimized, and the 1660Ti is a workhorse with it.

storm osprey
#

i use a 1080/4790 for 1440p gaming on low and sit around 100-120 fps

steep gust
#

If you want really stable FPS I would go with a higher GPU than you need

molten bramble
#

R6S is hugely better in terms of FPS and texture with the 1660Ti.

steep gust
#

Its why I went with a 1080

#

Also 1080p 240hz monitors are getting pretty cheap

molten bramble
#

I might pick one up at a later date, but the 144 @ 27" is doing superb.

#

I either stay with this for a hot minute and pick up a high-end 20* series card later, or I pick up a 2070 now and wait even longer for the next gen.

steep gust
#

27" 1080p?

#

big oof

molten coral
#

49'' 1080p

molten bramble
#

Gawdamn

storm osprey
#

ppi at 27" 1080p NotLikeThis

steep gust
#

27" 1080p is stretched

molten bramble
#

I was looking at the ultrawide Samsung, but it still needs to come down off that price before I even consider the purchase... and even then, as counterintuitive as it may seem, I like compartmentalizing my apps to smaller scales.

steep gust
#

I kinda want a ultrawide monitor

#

but at the same time having a 240hz monitor for competitive games sounds nice

molten bramble
#

@steep gust Not to disregard the coolness of it, but I think it would agitate me more than compliment my workflow.

latent light
#

PPI of 22" 1080p is identical to 27" 1440p

steep gust
#

ppi doesn't help stretching

latent light
#

yeah 24" and under is best for 1080p

#

funny there's phones with a 5" screen at 1440p

#

kinda useless

molten bramble
#

On the 27", I'm 2560x1440 in-game, with no tearing which is incredible compared to the previous.

latent light
#

109 ppi with 27" 1440p

92 ppi with 24" 1080p

#

my brother has a Acer Predator X34 which is 3440x1440 at 34"

#

and I thought the pixel density was garbage

#

even compared to my 24" 1080p

steep gust
#

You want pixel density

#

buy 4k

molten bramble
#

Yeah, also known as 'girth' 😄

#

j/k

molten coral
#

@molten bramble The super ultrawide from samsung?

molten bramble
#

@molten coral yeah man, I was checking that out the other day

storm osprey
#

except 4k is not reasonable

steep gust
#

4k 60hz isn't hard to do

latent light
#

my RX 580 could do 4K 60 fps at lowest settings haHAA

molten bramble
#

@latent light So now you're better than us, huh? 😄

latent light
#

consistent frametimes and pixel density is my preferred experience

storm osprey
#

i dont want absurd jaggies, and i want a smooth experience

molten bramble
#

Anyone else buy V8 juice in bulk? Gets me some vitamins and a heavy dose of sodium. Think if I poured it on this GPU I'd get better frames? Asking for a friend. 😄

latent light
#

RX 580 can manage 30 fps on high settings preset 4K in BFV

storm osprey
#

i fucking hate v8

#

i hate tomatoes

molten bramble
#

Racist.

latent light
#

what about V8 fruit juice

storm osprey
#

v8 is the devils juice

molten bramble

No! Vegist.

@latent light Tried it, but it was too concentrate and fucked with my reflux.

#

Ddr3 is differnt than ddr4 this whole time!?!?!?!

#

no

same thing they just charge you more

molten coral
#

If you don't have anything to add to the conversation why even say anything

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

latent light
prime jasper
#

No kidding got old quick

latent light
#

just realized there was DDR3 3200 MHz sticks

#

what platform would you need to run DDR3 at 3200

prime jasper
#

Z97

molten coral
#

@molten bramble But I got the 49'' ultrawide from samsung and I freakin love it. It's kinda expensive but for me the biggest thing is: no more hassle with a monitor frame in the middle.

molten bramble
#

So I think it's about time to start experimenting with this board/memory to OC.

steep gust
#

DDR3 3200mhz isn't even the good ICs

prime jasper
#

I only got my ddr3 to 3000mhz on dual sticks. It's pretty fucking hard.

latent light
#

1.65v toasty

molten bramble
#

@molten coral I remember the pic of your setup, I am thinking one 27", two 24" and a 32" TV.

prime jasper
#

That's actually really little

#

For ddr3

#

Safe volts is 1.85v

#

Past that is sketch

latent light
#

watercool the ram once you get to 1.85v

prime jasper
#

Good luck on a CPU that will run that daily

#

Not really needed till 2v

latent light
#

or use a.... chiller GWahreeVampySmug

steep gust
#

DDR3 has different safe voltages

#

for each IC

#

and so does DDR4

#

its just no one tests it

#

Pretty sure my CJR degraded at 1.45v

#

but I'm too lazy to test it

prime jasper
#

Also I dont even know anyone that actually did 3200 cl9 on ddr3

#

Let alone that clock speed in genral

steep gust
#

It should be possible cold

prime jasper
#

Out of the box

#

Tho

#

Like

#

Would be more believable than seeing someone at 5100 cl18

#

For daily

steep gust
#

5100 CL18 isn't possible

prime jasper
#

That's what I'm saying

steep gust
#

on a daily system

prime jasper
#

For daily

steep gust
#

also its Corshit

#

They probably just binned the sticks to that and knowing Corsair it can't even do it properly

molten bramble
#

Daily.

prime jasper
#

Hell I was at cl12 to get 3000 to work for ddr3 and that's with really gnarly hyperx

steep gust
#

Gotta have that PSC for cold scaling NotLikeThis

prime jasper
#

Yeah well I dint do subzero in 2013

#

Wish I did

molten bramble
#

Intel i7 8700K w/ Corsair LPX 3200 32Gb.... let's take bets what I can get out of the setup? LUL

steep gust
#

well

#

Depending on the board

#

You can easily do XMP

molten bramble
#

MSI MEG Z390 ACE

#

The next step was GODLIKE, but I wasn't looking to drop $ on that.

#

I haven't yet enabled XMP, been babying the setup making sure everything worked properly before I started switching things up.

#

So far it's been pretty damn stable.

prime jasper
#

People dint like that name but that name... fucking beautiful alzabene

#

"Godlike"

steep gust
#

godlike is such a shit board tho

#

Should be like $400

molten bramble
#

Part of the reason I didn't buy it, wasn't much of an advantage over the ACE

#

anyone here well versed with unity ?

raven blade
#

i5-9600k or i7-8700? Trying to decide for my upcoming build

prime jasper
#

For bfv, 8700k wrecks it

raven blade
#

I'm not talking 8700k, just 8700 locked

#

I don't really have the extra 70 bones for the K

#

The 9600k has 6 less threads but performs around the same as the 8700 and is around 60 bucks cheaper. With the reduced thread count I'm not sure

supple bane
#

if you just want it for the gaming side of things and you dont want to do any work on your pc then the 9600k would be better as it is cheaper and as far as im aware thread count doesnt matter that much for bfv,

#

why not the 2600x anyway ?

#

that has more threads, basically the same clock. and is loads cheaper

warm junco
#

Because mobo

#

Probably

#

Ah, upcoming build. Nvm then ig

supple bane
#

slowly nods head

#

heh

raven blade
#

Because in multiple tests I've seen even the AMD 2700X is significantly slower in gaming than any of the newer Intel chips

#

The 2700x is up to like 40 fps slower than the i7-8700k

steep gust
#

uh

#

You realize max FPS is worthless

#

If you have a 1080p 144hz monitor

#

150fps vs 200fps is the same

supple bane
#

i said 2600x anyway

#

but yes, the 2700x is slightly more powerful than the 2600x

#

but is still 100 pound more

raven blade
#

Except with my GPU it's the difference between 110 fps and 160

steep gust
#

You can't compare different CPUs and GPUs

#

directly

raven blade
#

I'm not

steep gust
#

One variable at a time

raven blade
#

I'm saying with my gpu these two CPUs push different fps to support it. The AMD 2700x with is about 30-35 fps slower than the i7-8700 paired with a RTX 2070

#

And they are the same price

supple bane
#

what is the fps tho

#

yes it is slower, but what is the fps

#

as like what predator said, there isnt any point having an fps< than your monitors refresh rate

raven blade
#

I already said, it's the difference between me hitting 144hz or not

#

With the 8700 I'll be hittinf around 150 fps on ultra as for what I've seen on my friends 2700x he gets about 105-110

prime jasper
#

are those those tests you are looking at on dx11 or 12?

#

that can make quite a difference

steep gust
#

Friends is worthless

#

You want the exact same setup to compare

raven blade
#

This is with directx11 I believe

supple bane
#

with that gpu you want dx 12 as far as im aware

jade tangle
#

dont

supple bane
#

oh ok

raven blade
#

I would be using DX12

jade tangle
#

dx12 is trouble in bf5

prime jasper
#

my 2700x/rtx 2080 loves dx12 so I cant argue with it

#

the people who have trouble seem to have lower spec hardware aka less than 6 cores

supple bane
#

well you have to have which dx your system supports

#

it isnt going to be the same for every system

raven blade
#

I'm going to ask Linus Tech Tips because I also am pursuing a career in video editing which would benefit from a powerful CPU especially multicore

prime jasper
#

lmao they have the opposite amounts of hair

supple bane
prime jasper
#

and I have that mobo, sweet

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper actually ironically dx12 issues are with higher end cpu's

#

Dx12 helps more with a CPU that has bad single core

#

Hench the 2700x

#

The RTX 2080 has equal performance to the 1080 Ti. Change my mind

#

I thought that was the general consensus

forest token
#

encoder performance is better on 2080

#

mind changed Happy

prime jasper
#

Well let me ask you

#

does the encoder make graphics look better w/ little frame reduction?

#

tbh I don't know what the encoder is

forest token
#

x264 nvenc encoding on the gpu

prime jasper
#

um ok

#

You know if I had lots of money, one thing I'd get is the Titan RTX

#

That thing is a beast good god

#

If you wanna play with Raytracing with absolutely no frame reduction, go for that lmao

forest token
#

looking for a link

steep gust
#

The 2080 beats the 1080ti out at stock

#

and even more once overclocked

prime jasper
#

Why do you say that

steep gust
#

Also the RTX Titan loses to the 2080ti while gaming

prime jasper
#

What makes it beat 1080 Ti out of stock

steep gust
#

because it has higher performance?

prime jasper
#

False.

steep gust
#

a 1080ti at stock settings loses to a stock 2080

prime jasper
#

No it doesn't lol

#

What makes it lose

steep gust
#

worse performance?

#

wow took 30 seconds

prime jasper
#

All the research that has been done shows the 1080 Ti and 2080 have equal performance, even in 4K. I have a FTW3 Elite model 1080 Ti and I can run 99% of my games at 60FPS (and higher) with 4K and I'm not even overclocked.

steep gust
#

uh

#

the FTW3 is factory overclocked

prime jasper
#

No it's not wat

#

I know someone IRL who has a 2080 and his 2080 literally performs almost equal to my 1080 Ti. Not to mention the "fancy" features that the 2080 has (DLSS & RTX) SIGNIFICANTLY hinder the frame rate in games.

#

If you want good frames and RTX/DLSS you need to get a 2080 Ti :p

steep gust
#

a stock 1080ti has a boost clock of 1582mhz and draws 250w

a FTW3 has a boost clock of 1683mhz and draws something like 350w once you increase the power limit

#

So yes, a 1080ti FTW3 is factory overclocked

#

and I know someone IRL who has a bunch of bloatware on their PC and runs RAM at JEDEC

prime jasper
#

My mind is not changed :p

Anecdotal evidence is meaningless

userbenchmark is not a source

prime jasper

Sure it is

steep gust
#

Its crowd sourced

#

which means its not reliable

#

Due to every person have different hardware and settings

prime jasper
#

Very similar performance

#

Almost equal

steep gust
#

I can run my 1080 with just PCIe power (75w) and userbenchmark treats it as if I let it draw 500w

#

fun fact

#

"almost equal" and "equal" are different

prime jasper
steep gust
#

wow you googled "2080 vs 1080ti" and pulled the first 3 pages

#

without really reading into them

prime jasper
#

No I read them. I've made this argument before lmao

steep gust
#

at stock, a 2080 beats a 1080ti by a few percent generally

Once overclocked, the gap widens

prime jasper
#

One of my friends made the argument that the RTX 2080 is better because it has DLSS & RTX

#

Until I showed him the frame reduction when running those features hahayes

steep gust
#

still not the argument

#

DLSS is part of the RTX features and is garbage anyways

@prime jasper a under clocked 2080 would ass rape a heavily overclocked 1080 on any time of the day

does 4-way SMT/hyperthreading mean 4 threads per core?

prime jasper

Never heard of that, if I had to guess, it's for 2 chiplets dual controllers

That's my guess

#

If there was 4 threads per core

#

Then in cinebench jeebus

Cine🅱ench: eyes glowing

Would be a dirty move of AMD but smart

Since all that "cores" on dual channel is pretty ooof

But let's see

went to my brother's house last night and he has a delidded 8700K with a copper IHS and it's a mini-ITX build, he got it to 5.2 GHz stable on all cores

I thought they did that on Sun boxes ages ago?

"Simultaneous multithreading (SMT): Issue multiple instructions from multiple threads in one cycle. The processor must be superscalar to do so."

he got it for $250, he got it from someone that said it "overclocks very well"

@molten bramble grim wasnt asking about what is smt, talking about 4 way

#

It's something pretty new

#

"4 way smt"

#

Dosnt make sense on the slightest but since am4 is now a mini threadripper

#

Who the fuck knows what they did

latent light
#

I thought 4-way would mean 4 threads per core because currently we are on 2-way

#

imagine a 4 core with 16 threads

molten bramble
#

Huh? No it isn't. It's new for consumer chipsets maybe. Otherwise, it's been existing since the '90s.

latent light
prime jasper
#

Double threads per core since the 90's on what cpu? @molten bramble

#

Never heard or seen of this

molten bramble
#

I want to say IBM was doing it, maybe with the RISC platform, but dunno off hand. The concept is not new though.

#

The technology catching up, perhaps.

prime jasper
#

Smt is basically the same as hyper threading

molten bramble
#

Hyperthreading essentially multi-homed.

prime jasper

There hasn't been multiple threads per core

Ever

molten bramble
#

Ok.

prime jasper
#

If there is as you say, please any link or anything

#

So I know were not being trolled

latent light
#

btw, after a little bit of research, 4-way SMT means 4 threads per core

#

they could add up to 40 threads per core if they wanted to, just like GPUs do

prime jasper
#

I wonder if a CPU exist with this

molten bramble
#

"The Blue Gene/Q Compute chip is an 18 core chip. The 64-bit A2 processor cores are 4-way simultaneously multithreaded, and run at 1.6 GHz. Each processor core has a SIMD Quad-vector double precision floating point unit (IBM QPX). 16 Processor cores are used for computing, and a 17th core for operating system assist functions such as interrupts, asynchronous I/O, MPI pacing and RAS. The 18th core is used as a redundant spare, used to increase manufacturing yield. The spared-out core is shut down in functional operation. The processor cores are linked by a crossbar switch to a 32 MB eDRAM L2 cache, operating at half core speed. The L2 cache is multi-versioned, supporting transactional memory and speculative execution, and has hardware support for atomic operations.[38] L2 cache misses are handled by two built-in DDR3 memory controllers running at 1.33 GHz. The chip also integrates logic for chip-to-chip communications in a 5D torus configuration, with 2GB/s chip-to-chip links. The Blue Gene/Q chip is manufactured on IBM's copper SOI process at 45 nm. It delivers a peak performance of 204.8 GFLOPS at 1.6 GHz, drawing about 55 watts. The chip measures 19×19 mm (359.5 mm²) and comprises 1.47 billion transistors. The chip is mounted on a compute card along with 16 GB DDR3 DRAM (i.e., 1 GB for each user processor core).[39]"

Ah thank you

molten bramble
#

That project started in 1999.

#

It was based on concepts from the early-to-mid '90s, but I don't think anyone had a working concept until then. I could be wrong.

#

I am guessing what they've done here, however, is bring something to the consumer market that isn't bleeding edge and hemorrhaging cash from the the consumer's wallet.

That chip looks super specific and not really a CPU

Good question, I just picked up a new 1660Ti myself, runs great. However, I might take that back for a RTX 2070.

I'm on the fence on that.

check out pcpartpicker, there are some pretty great builds on there, most using the same family of GPUs.

icy mist
#

does 1660 support hardware acceleration in premiere pro?

molten bramble
#

You're referring to NVENC/HEVC? That's been supported since the 1050Ti.

#

Specifically, 1660Ti will handle H.264 / H.265.

icy mist
#

I don't exactly know but I see it in forun discussion.

#

they were mentioning cuda

also

molten bramble
#

CUDA is just a platform/API for developers at the software layer which expedites instructions/usage of the GPU. I wouldn't worry about that, you're not going to have to deal with that as it's already baked in for your particular applicaton.

@molten bramble ty very much. I will take look at them.

molten bramble

In all honesty, I'm just going to up this to 64Gb.

#

https://gnd-tech.com/2019/01/all-msi-z390-motherboards-ready-for-the-latest-jedec-standard-of-ddr4-32gb-memory/ They were talking about it in January, but I am guessing it's just not there in the manufacturing lane at the moment.

MSI has just announced that they will be the first major motherboard vendor to fully support the latest JEDEC standard memory for 32GB memory modules for its current MSI Z390 motherboard lineup.

#

"Now that we’re seeing high density modules in the 32GB flavor emerging from companies like Corsair, G.Skill, and Kingston, there is no wonder Intel has upped the official support capacity for the 9th-gen processors to 128GB." Umm.. where? lol I just went to their sites.

#

Only Kingston seems to have a 128Gb kit.

and I believe that's still 8x16Gb

#

Not 4x32Gb

#

Same goes for Corsair

Yeah that only works for iMacs and certain laptops

Or just get landline to Ethernet

#

Or better yet. Go power line

storm osprey
#

or get a long wire with wall clips

grizzled apex
#

Could risk connection becoming worse

#

If it bends too much

storm osprey
#

if the wire bends?

#

never heard of that one

supple bane
#

could someone explain to me what the hell a power line is in the context of networking ?

#

i have heard of the sacred power line adapter before but i have not a clue what it is

prime jasper
#

those things. allow you to plug an eithernet into an adapter that plugs right in and connects to your wifi

supple bane
#

so there still isnt a wired connection between the router and the pc ?

#

it goes from wifi to ethernet ?

prime jasper
#

exactly

supple bane
#

that sounds.. dumb..

prime jasper
#

works better than usb adapters and some devices have no usb so you have no other options anyway

supple bane
#

ooohhh

#

just watched a vid on it

#

that makes so much more sense hahah

@molten bramble The rated limit is almost never the limit

#

I know people running 96GB on 8th gen

molten bramble
#

Hm?

steep gust
#

8th gen is rated to 64GB

#

9900k has the strongest IMC on the market

#

It will have zero issues with 128GB

molten bramble
#

I don't recall saying it would?

#

What did I miss here?

steep gust
#

You are making it sound like its not possible

#

9th gen is not the first generation to support over 64GB

molten bramble
#

I did nothing of the sort. I said that memory manufacturers don't have 128Gb (4x32Gb) kits for the 4-slot Z390 board.

#

I went to four manufacturer sites and two reseller sites. Noone is offering them.

#

And the only ones I did find were for servers and for iMacs.

steep gust
#

That because 32GB non ECC RAM sticks don't exist

#

Outside of one proprietary garbage by Asus

molten bramble
#

That's what I am saying, but as early as Oct 2018, reviewers (based on marketing by companies like MSI) were touting such kits already in the field. Here we are in May 2019, still don't exist. So I have a MSI MEG Z390 ACE capable of handling 128Gb, but the max that can be found on the market is 64Gb kits.

steep gust
#

Its not really on the board to run 128GB

molten bramble
#

So, for these consumer boards, it's either delayed or just not gonna happen.

#

4x32Gb

steep gust
#

That page is about how it will support 8x2048 standard

molten bramble
#

I see a bunch of 8x16Gb kits though

steep gust
#

yeah because 32GB sticks don't exist outside of one proprietary PCB for non ecc

#

You can buy 32GB sticks that are ECC but Intel is Intel

molten bramble
#

exactly

#

So, in essence, whether it supports the JEDEC standard or not at this point, to the consumer, is inconsequential and potentially marketing fluff... because there is just nothing to buy DDR4-wise that will accommodate someone doing that.

#

That and a price point for over $1K in memory alone is probably going to keep that out of mainstream for most people anyways.

steep gust
#

Its entirely marketing fluff

#

The IMC will run not enjoy running 4x32

molten bramble
#

I don't disagree

#

Reminds me of ASUS's marketing for LGA775 boards like the P5K-E that were touting support for DDR3/performance, but only supported DDR2.

#

Misleading at best.

#

In any case, for me, 64Gb on this build is plenty.

steep gust
#

Threadripper is cheap

#

if you really need a lot

tfw no 3rd gen threadripper coming

i knew that i had an account for a CAD program through my school that will last me for another 3 years, but i didnt realise that said program would have cost 1500 pound for that time if i purchased it my self

storm osprey
#

cad is stupidly overpriced

#

they are trying to make it a cloud service too

supple bane
#

cad is a priceless tool tho

steep gust
#

CAD for business use is fine for its price

supple bane
#

but i mean someone like me who is kinda thinking of a career in it, its would be impossible to get practise without being at schhol

wheat copper
#

can i post the name of a website with some pretty cool products?

steep gust
#

is it legal?

wheat copper
#

its just gaming stuff

steep gust
#

If its promoting something not directly related to tech

#

it doesn't belong here

supple bane
#

i dont think that it isnt allowed just maybe ask in general if it isnt tech

wheat copper
#

yeah they have pc stuff

supple bane
#

well then

wheat copper
#

so idk how its not related to tech

#

they have meeces and storage. and headsets. i believe shroud iss apart of it as theres a huge video of him being featured

steep gust
#

That sounds more promotional

wheat copper
#

i personally dont have affiliations with it. maybe i should dm you the site so you can see for yourself? dont want to break any rules so ill let you decide

#

nvm mind. sorry for clogging the caht. im just stupid.haHAA

12 core Zen 2 CPU spotted running at 4.55 GHz all cores

supple bane
#

damn

#

im sort of getting my head around the marketing of amd now heh

#

but still confused by it a little

latent light
#

apparently MSI, Biostar and Gigabyte got the 16 core and 12 core Zen 2 samples

supple bane
#

just to confirm, zen 2 is the generation of chips that are coming out later this year right ?

latent light
#

well they get announced in 2 weeks

supple bane
#

oh

latent light
#

and come out in either June or July

supple bane
#

well at least i got something right for once heh

steep gust
#

Engineering samples are worthless

#

Remember the 9900k that was doing 5.3ghz on air?

#

I remember

latent light
#

I thought that was just a single core oc though

steep gust
#

I don't think so

#

but Chinese engineering samples that can't be verified are not to be trusted

#

noctua D15 could do overclocking better than a 360mm rad

steep gust
#

uh

#

not unless you have shit fans

#

Also AIOs above 280mm have pump issues

latent light
#

oof

steep gust
#

nowhere near enough flow

supple bane
#

personally I think that an air will be better in most cases

latent light
#

240mm or 280mm optimal

steep gust
#

I prefer the looks of water

latent light
#

also, you probably need a custom pump for 360mm

steep gust
#

or just have companies put a bigger pump into AIOs

#

not hard

latent light
#

lol

supple bane
#

if you would go to the effort of having a custom pump it isn’t really an aio anymore, just a water cooling loop

steep gust
#

Also not possible with AIOs

#

cus its not really all in one then

supple bane
#

would make a cool yt experiment, take an aio, cut a pipe and slap a pump on there and see what happens

@supple bane Autodesk / 3DS or?

By the way, Biostar showed off their X570 motherboard

fusion 360

molten bramble
#

I have that as well.

#

It's good for components and what not, not as much for artsy modeling.

latent light
supple bane
#

I’m still only dabbling my toes in the animation and like the making bearings move for example, something i want to learn

molten bramble
#

Yeah

#

Fusion 360 is good to start with, the UI is very forgiving a well.

#

Comparative to it's big brother 3DS, it's very easy to use.

supple bane
#

one thing I hate about it, or I just haven’t figured it out, THERE ISNT A FREE CAM, i want to be able to go into a mode and left click like moves me around the “world” so to speak, not just to rotate the camera around a pivot

molten bramble
#

Hmm, there is a freewheeling rotation mechanism across the plane(s), but I am not sure about a freestyle cam.

supple bane
#

Here’s a situation which I’m trying to get at, I have a flat wall, on that plane I want to make a very small but precise box that extrudes off it, so I’m thinking “right let’s zoom in to hell and back” but it zooms into the wrong area of the plane and I can’t see the area I want to place my other box, and it just feels like I’m in mission impossible trying to get my camera in the right place,

molten bramble
#

Hmm, I think the only way to do that is sketch inside the wall.

#

You'd select your placement and then set the sketch point. The camera should focus there

supple bane
#

hmm, I’m sure there is a simple way around it that I haven’t figured out yet,

#

I do need to do some research on the moving parts side as that would open way more opportunities

molten bramble
#

It's free and informative. Throw it on one screen and follow along on the other.

supple bane
#

ye I learned the basics the same way I found a bunch of powerpoints that showed you how to make really simple things but explaining all the tools you would need as it went along, the first thing I did was a key ring, so it taught me extruding and text, also some other sketch tool that I forget the name of heh

#

I don’t look at the names now I just know where all the things are off by heart heh

molten bramble

Nice
