the 5700xt gpu is crazy good for bfv for some reason, beating the rtx 2080

latent light
#

pretty normal for AMD on battlefield

forest token
#

yeah but they partnered with nvidia for bfv

storm osprey
#

dayummm

rain quartz
#

get 750-850 watt psu @signal forge

steep gust
#

dude

#

you can run a 9900k and a 2080ti

#

off of a 400w psu

#

Don't make him spend a ton extra to buy a PSU he doesn't need

lofty light
#

I mean, go ahead and get it if you want to look cool and burn money Yikes

#

I've got an 850W platinum one just because the colour suited my build

rain quartz
#

ive got a 750w

steep gust
#

imagine not owning a case with a psu shroud

#

smh

#

so I noticed this

#

the MSI OC lab

#

did ddr4 5774

#

on a 4 dimm board

#

a fucking 4 dimm board

#

Intel barely manages that on dedicated memory overclocking boards

#

and its fucking 1t?

#

The world record is only 100mhz more and its using 3t and much looser timings

latent light
#

btw

#

400w psu couldn't run a 2080ti and 9900k

#

9900K pulls 180 watts on boost, 2080ti like 300 watts on boost

#

wouldn't go below 600W

steep gust
#

uh

#

2080ti is 260w

#

and a 9900k should only be doing like 150w stock if you force the power limits

#

Now from what I understand

#

The RT / tensor cores fuck the power limit and spike a lot

#

so not recommended

latent light
#

doesn't Vega spike a lot too

steep gust
#

iirc yes

lofty light
#

My old case didn't have a shroud, it was around the time they only started being a thing so 🤷

molten bramble
#

lol, a PSU shroud. I've no need for that, although I guess I can see why someone might want it to hide stuff away.

latent light
#

easier access without PSU shroud

#

PSU shroud is most useful when you have a non-modular PSU

molten bramble
#

Seems like a component to soak up heat as well rather than remove it from the case.

#

I run an open case anyways though, everything is quite naked. I'm good with that, don't really care about any fancy cosmetics tbh.

latent light
#

I have a non-modular PSU with many of the access cables cut off and the cut ends are covered with liquid electrical tape lol

#

not in my main PC though

molten bramble
#

Oh wow. That sounds more or less dangerous, lol.

latent light
#

no chance of harm the way I cut and covered it tbh

steep gust
#

It doesn't make any difference in heat

#

And I have zero reason to access my psu generally

#

Well I guess I lose a fan

#

But it doesn't make much of an impact in overall temps

#

Dunno

lofty light
#

So it looks like the 3900x is trading blows with the 9900k

storm osprey
#

3700x for gaming is where it's at, I'll be getting that CPU if Intel doesn't drop prices

latent light
#

I'm waiting for B550 motherboards

#

my B350 is enough for even a stock Ryzen 9 but I want better memory support

storm osprey
#

I feel I should get ryzen either way too support competition

lofty light
#

I'm looking at the 3900x mainly so I'll have no trouble streaming whilst playing

latent light
#

3rd gen Ryzen power consumption is incredible

#

Ryzen 5 3600X matches i7-8700K in performance but draws like 50% less power

lofty light
#

Tbh that says just as much about Intel and their process in the last few years

latent light
#

RX 5700 best value

latent light
#

BIOS issues affecting Ryzen 3000 boost clocks on most motherboards, should be fixed shortly

icy mist
#

Hi

#

Can someone help me with graphic card setup

icy mist
#

I fixed it. Thank you.
I didn't knew which cable to plug in.

opaque widget
#

Can anyone experienced in battlefield games quickly help me? It shouldn't take long

rigid knoll
#

Just ask, maybe someone will jump to answer

storm osprey
#

so reviews for 3600(x) coming out and they are looking good as well

prime jasper
#

no reason to get previous zens with how cheap those are

next pier
#

is there going to be any patches for some of the current bugs that going on right now ??

supple bane
#

no they are gonna purposefully keep them all in

next pier
#

...

supple bane
#

of course there will be a patch ya goof

next pier
#

you sure they keep adding new ones with every update

steep gust
#

@latent light yeah I saw the forum post on overclocker.net or whatever when he first posted it

supple bane
steep gust
#

that is semi expected

supple bane
#

it would be more appropriate

latent light
#

Did you hear about the separate chiplet design on 3rd gen helps with heat transfer

#

Ryzen 9 3900X at 4GHz all cores stayed under 70C in stress test with stock cooler

steep gust
#

what stress test

#

prime95 is way different than aida

latent light
#

It was Aida64 on a B350 Motherboard

steep gust
#

oh

#

garbage test

latent light
#

3900X power draw is pretty low

#

then again, majority of reviews have bugged BIOS versions that don't let the CPUs reach their normal boost clock

winged tapir
#

New PC soon dab

#

first time building myself

supple bane
#

neat

winged tapir
supple bane
#

what parts you going for ?

winged tapir
latent light
#

no storage?

supple bane
#

nor fans

steep gust
#

He has 2 from his AIO

#

and the case comes with like 2

supple bane
#

also, why would you go with the 9900k WoahTea

steep gust
#

honestly tho ^

latent light
#

yeah 9900K just became irrelevant

supple bane
#

zen 2 is maybe like 10000000000000x better ?

storm osprey
#

purely gaming would go with 9700k too

steep gust
#

also don't spend that much on a PSU, it takes years for you to save money on a platinum PSU

#

might as well spend the extra $60 and get a 9900k

#

over a 9700k

storm osprey
#

if hes purely gaming theres no reason

#

unless you want worse performance for spending more

steep gust
#

you can like

#

disable hyperthreading

#

it takes like 10 seconds

storm osprey
#

to what? get the same performance as the 9700k?

steep gust
#

better performance

#

and when games start using more threads, you can enable it again

#

If the 9700k cost 30% less than a 9900k, I would recommend it

#

but it doesn't

storm osprey
#

costs less for more performance unless you want to tweak shit to probably get barely better performance

#

sounds silly to me

supple bane
#

if feel sorry for rephii now, we just took a massive shit on his build haHAA

latent light
#

I would get a 3700X over both for the sake of temperatures and noise level

winged tapir
#

😦

prime jasper
#

broke rephii's heart y'all

steep gust
#

Disabling hyperthreading 101

Find the advanced setting tab, click CPU config, and set it to off LULW

winged tapir
#

I am new to this

#

😦

steep gust
#

@winged tapir I would recommend a cheaper PSU, if you want to buy a 9900k that's on you

#

but I would watch some Zen 2 reviews

winged tapir
#

I dont wanna go AMD tbh

storm osprey
latent light
#

Zen 2 reviews aren't accurate because everyone is using the bugged BIOS that doesn't let the CPUs run at rated boost clocks

storm osprey
#

seems perf difference is pretty weak

steep gust
#

Zen 2 reviews are fine

#

You are going to gain performance not lose it

#

when they fix the bios

latent light
#

I think some manufacturers have patches already

winged tapir
#

why did I start that topic again 😓

steep gust
#

Asus shipped a BIOS that cheated the power draw

winged tapir
storm osprey
#

9900k with or without hyperthreading has roughly same fps, so why get that over saving money for a 9700?

supple bane
steep gust
#

not everyone is just gaming?

supple bane
#

@winged tapir

storm osprey
#

(which gets same to better performance)

steep gust
#

That board requires a BIOS update to use Zen 2

storm osprey
#

@steep gust thats why i said from the beginning PURELY for gaming

steep gust
#

so unless he has a second PC and the motherboard supports BIOS flashback

supple bane
#

yes well all boards do right ?

steep gust
#

X570 doesn't

supple bane
#

oki

steep gust
#

obviously

#

and a lot of boards have BIOS flashback

#

but some don't

winged tapir
steep gust
#

BIOS flashback means no CPU needed to update it

#

is the tldr

winged tapir
#

I like PCs potatocute

supple bane
prime jasper
#

I like nuclear weapons too but...

storm osprey
#

wouldnt get a budget gpu for a 2080ti

#

and might as well as get the 2080 super

supple bane
#

its not modular, his was i think

steep gust
#

shit

#

Forgot to sort by modular

#

sorry give me a second

latent light
winged tapir
latent light
steep gust
#

That PSU is really fucking good

supple bane
#

rephii now has like 10 links to look through WeSmart

storm osprey
#

all have a ventus 2080ti...

steep gust
#

The 2080ti is on him

#

until 2080 supers have AIB cards

#

They don't exist to me

storm osprey
#

my main gripe is the ventus

steep gust
#

only so many white GPUs

latent light
#

2080 super will have small gains over 2080

steep gust
#

the hall of fame is super limited production and ugly asfk

latent light
#

it's a 2080Ti with way less cores

storm osprey
#

(thats why i dont let color determine my build)

steep gust
#

but white builds are sexy

#

I should powder coat my 1080 strix to white LULW

brazen geyser
#

dont buy a ventus if you go above 2070

storm osprey
#

id rather have a decent looking build with same performance that cost me 200 bucks less in total because i didnt have to get certain colors

latent light
#

yeah I want all white but there hasn't been any white Ryzen boards since the B350 tomahawk arctic

steep gust
#

There is the $1000 X570 Aqua

storm osprey
#

200 might be a bit extreme

steep gust
#

that never hit production

#

I asked AsRock support about it

latent light
#

only 999 X570 Aquas are being made

winged tapir
steep gust
#

haven't got a response

#

@latent light currently 1 has been made

#

try to buy one

#

or find a product page

winged tapir
#

GPU will be 2080 Super

steep gust
#

There aren't any white motherboards

storm osprey
#

yea as long as you change gpu that list looks fine to me

steep gust
#

I would wait on super

#

even if its not gonna replace the 2080ti

#

prices should change

latent light
#

you plan on doing any streaming?

winged tapir
#

I do, but with my old pc

#

so buying a capture card and streaming from the 2nd one

storm osprey
#

purely gaming, get 9700k, anything more than just gaming get a ryzen cpu

#

ahh nvm you doing the professional streaming set up

winged tapir
latent light
#

I can't really justify the 9700K, 3700X matches it for less money and has double the threads

safe meteor
storm osprey
#

does the 9700k and 9900k still get more fps for gaming than the amd cpus?

steep gust
#

yes

#

not by much

#

but yes

storm osprey
#

gaps a lot closer, but not gone

latent light
#

depends on games too

steep gust
#

also you can overclock the 9700k / 9900k

#

currently overclocking / PBO is busted on Zen 2

latent light
#

BIOS updates are rolling out

storm osprey
#

assuming rephii waits for super to come out we have some time

latent light
#

there was speculation that Ryzen 3rd gen CPUs would come out before the X570 motherboards

#

and it was almost true apparently, because no motherboard manufacturers had a stable BIOS

steep gust
#

The BIOS work fine

#

for running the CPUs

#

Maybe the CPUs just aren't going to overclock at all

latent light
#

gamers nexus is going to have to revisit their reviews

steep gust
#

and PBO is worthless

#

since they are already at the limit of the process

latent light
#

there is confirmation from over 100+ sources that say the BIOSes are broken

storm osprey
#

could be broken,doesnt mean the fix is gonna dramatically change anything

#

just have to wait and see

winged tapir
#

2080 super coming 23rd

#

also now looking at Prime day and maybe ordering the first parts if they get any cheaper

storm osprey
#

just get things like ram, psu, storage, and case when they are cheap

rigid knoll
#

23rd of Jul or Aug?

winged tapir
#

Jul

storm osprey
#

if amd overclocks a lot better with the bios fix that could be an option

steep gust
#

its not going to overclock better

#

PBO might work

#

but all core is not going to go above 4.3-4.4

#

They are at the limit of the process already and it needs to mature

#

Guessing we see a new revision in like 6 months

latent light
#

probably at CES

steep gust
#

Zen 2+ isn't on the roadmap but who knows

#

oh i mean like R0 /P0 on 9900k

#

not Zen 2+

latent light
#

I would wait 1 month before buying Ryzen 3rd gen

supple bane
#

is it possible for the audio ports on different motherboards to be louder or quieter than a different motherboard ?

#

because on my old board i would never have been able to have my headset on max, windows on max, and spotify on max, without becoming legally deaf

prime jasper
#

yes, due to differences in DACs/Amps and the output thereof

supple bane
#

on this one its perfectly fine

#

kinda annoying really, because i love some loud music, and now i cant without an amp

storm osprey
#

yea just depends on the amp

#

of course headphone impedance/sensitivity

#

(but i assume you are using the same headphone)

supple bane
#

yup

#

i do have an amp, sort of

#

its built into a speaker i have

#

but i tend not to use it

Hey i'm not sure if this is the right place, but I'm looking for a really good router for the price. I'm in college so I won't be looking to spend over $100 for a router, but can anyone recommend one?
Mine is kinda ass and I cant take it much more

storm osprey
#

best bang for buck when i was looking at router (like 4 years ago now) was the tp link archer c7

latent light
#

IPC between the 3900X and 9900K

storm osprey
#

per this for gaming the best the 3900x is barely beat the 9900k

#

looks more common that the 9900k has a decent fps increase

steep gust
#

@latent light Its not really a fair comparison to match clocks

#

Intel could easily lower clocks

#

and increase IPC

prime jasper
#

then....why didnt they?

steep gust
#

because 5ghz is more impressive

#

people have this massive thing for 5ghz

prime jasper
#

well...I guess that bit them in the ass now

steep gust
#

The 3900x right now gets bad 1% and 0.1% FPS compared to the 9900k since games handle the CCX / multiple dies poorly

#

if you force games to only use one die / few ccx you have less issues

latent light
#

For 3rd gen Ryzen clock speeds: Early BIOS used by reviewers was limiting the boost clock. No one was able to get more than 4.3GHz with the 3900X. But MSI released a new BIOS update today and people are getting boost clock between 4.5-4.65 GHz now. AnandTech tweeted that they're redoing all their tests and will upload it tomorrow.

steep gust
#

Intel got bit in the ass when they tried to force 10nm

#

instead of skipping to 7nm

latent light
#

so people are getting up to 4.65 GHz with the 3900X now

#

basically all tech youtube channels are going to make another video

supple bane
#

im sick of seeing this shit now tbh

storm osprey
#

launch not being max performance?

coarse nimbus
#

so has intel closed its doors yet?

#

seems like they should amd only good thing around anymore GWnonAiSmug

storm osprey

always need the competition

latent light

is this a new trend

#

putting heatsinks from older cards onto new cards

@quaint topaz fifine 660k is my go to cheaaaap mic recommendation, as well as the samsom go, and mini mic. if youre talking snowball money you can get a decent XLR set up that sounds better than all the above

@odd goblet I've got a Gigabyte RX 580, had problems with it for a month but it was windows conflicting with radeon software

it fixed itself on its own eventually

#

my brother has a Gigabyte Vega 56, he had to RMA it

#

Gigabyte makes bad AMD cards

#

the only Gigabyte AMD card I've seen with good reviews is the RX 570

Gigabyte makes also bad nvidia cards,i own one of those

crappy bios and crappy fans

Yep, after a full reinstallation of this card, I crash

was my first and last gigbyte card

never had to flash a gfx card before cause they fucked it up

twice

latent light
#

I think gigabyte doesn't test most of their cards long enough

violet plank
#

they look nice tho LUL

latent light
#

they probably plop it into a test system for 2-3 minutes and pull it out and package it

violet plank
#

seems like it very much

steep gust
#

well they don't do that to test GPUs

#

They use a socket-able thing and run a basic stress test thing to find freq

violet plank
#

the gpu is fine,their egineering is utter crap

steep gust
#

Gigglebyte can make good VRMs

#

so can Asus

violet plank
#

that i can agree with

steep gust
#

they just don't sometimes

violet plank

but that'^s about all

steep gust
#

I mean every company has bad products

FEs / reference PCBs from NVidia were shit before pascal

violet plank

they just happen to have the most bad ones lul

steep gust

you still hear about 980TIs failing since a mosfet exploded

for AMD, only get Sapphire, XFX, Asus, MSI

NVidia has dual GPUs

violet plank

which brand ?

with exploding mosfets

steep gust

that the vcore VRM is inferior to my single GPU's memory

nvidia

the FEs

violet plank
#

ah

steep gust
#

and reference PCBs might have similar problems

violet plank
#

never owned one of those

steep gust

ye generally reference PCB was avoided pre-pascal

#

NVidia locked down the power limit enough now that it doesn't matter

violet plank
#

had a 980ti from asus,strix i think ? for the longest time,awesome card

steep gust
#

Probably a strix

I like my strix 1080

wish the BIOS was unlocked by factory

but flashing the XOC BIOS isn't hard

wtf,is it true,destiny 2 dosen't run with ryzen 2 at all ?`

Don't know for sure on the CPU, I'll find out

really weak one

do you even need wattman ?

can't you just run the pure gfx drivers and nothing else

odd goblet
#

Wattman is the power thing for the card isn't it?

I can't choose to not run it

violet plank
#

imo it's the overclocking tool

odd goblet

It's the power settings for it, pretty much

violet plank

but i'm not into amd card very much

haven't used them for ages

odd goblet

You can set it to overclock, but I have it set so to Automatic, which everyone says is preferred when I go to different websites for performance

can't help with that atm

that's an offset to the V/F graph

7 out of 12 of them were DOA though

and the entire batch that day is now doa

he got a refund on those 7 and then bought 20 Sapphire Vega 56s, none of the Sapphire were DOA

So I want to build a PC, I want it mostly for programming and university, but also for casual gaming and don't wanna spend too much on it so:
i5 8400
GTX 1050ti
Gigabyte H310
8gb RAM DDR4

Is that good enough?

coarse nimbus
#

well i see one issue right away...you have intel and nvidia components GWlulurdMmmYea

onyx field
#

Good enough for what?

prime jasper
#

dont want to spend too much on it
intel/nvidia
wrong on both counts

onyx field
#

Really depends on the programming you gonna do and games you gonna play

storm osprey
#

@broken forge we just need a budget really

#

im getting the 8400 here for 200 bucks, which is the same price as the 3600

#

long story short, get the 3600 over the 8400 if they are the same price without a doubt

broken forge
#

Thing is

#

I live in Argentina

#

So the prices wont be the same

#

Everything costs like 2x here

#

Lets say 600 USD

#

Or 700 USD at max

#

I am used to intel and nvidia names, so I don't really know about anything AMD

storm osprey
#

amds new cpus are easily the best choice if you are doing anything other than gaming as well, especially if youre on a budget

broken forge
#

All right, I'll make my research in AMD then

storm osprey
#

youll probably end up getting something like a 1660 to fit the budget

broken forge
#

thought AMD and GTX didnt match

storm osprey
#

theres no problems mixing brands, they are separate components

broken forge
#

Aight thx

storm osprey
#

problem is that there could be a huge difference in price between components from here to there

#

if you can swing 25 bucks for 725 usd total this is what i would go with

#

but i would look into the ryzen 1600/2600 prices there as welll

#

at 1080p

steep gust
#

@plain vessel I would aim with AMD for budget stuff, it crushes Intel's offerings on low end IMO

I'm sure they already made that one clear enough but its important to drive the point LUL

didnt notice theres a bonus too

well i see why its cheap, the 5700xt matches or beats it in performance

for the same price

but atm since there are only blower style 5700xt's, a strix model asus 2070 with 2 games is a pretty damn good deal

steep gust

Just wait on AIB 5700XT

#

all AMD has to do with their reference cards is get plastic washers and then they can replace the thermal pad with paste

steep gust

but the pad is better for the average user

latent light

it's pretty rare for someone to have a card for so long that the paste dries up

using washers to increase mounting pressure for the 5700XT dropped temperature by 8C

idk

my paste on my strix card was shit after two years

I find ASUS a bit overrated

they're always considered the high-end partner

but when it comes to cooling solutions, EVGA are usually better

I mean

It was one of the cheaper cards at the time

looks better than the FTW3

this MX-4 paste I have is rated for 8 years.

does that mean 8 years until it dries up?

I think 8 years shelf life

it just says "8 year durability" on the package

Anyway wanna go with a ryzen 3 2200g, 8gb ddr4 at 2666, i have a 1tb hhd and a 240ssd and a 450watt power supply, the question is, what gpu should I pick?

I am thinking at a 1050ti, but a 1060 3gb sounds good too

like a 1660ti

don't buy pascal

Well its still a budget pc

I went for 500 euros max

Cant afford a 1660ti

The maximum budget for the gpu is 180€

i'd say the 1060 is a much better choice

Can you tell me why? I am not that good with the pcs, 1050ti has 1 more gb vram then the 1060 3gb

Ah

#

@jagged citrus The 1060 3GB version is only good if you have minimum 10-12gb ram

#

so if you go more than the VRAM limit the computer/game will use RAM.

vestal falcon
#

6GBs of VRAM is what you want in 2019, for a GPU @jagged citrus

#

3GBs can't even run certain (select few) games/will have issues with them

supple bane

it wont

#

i play with 3 gb and have no issues at all

vestal falcon
#

Its deff usable but you could have possible issues, its one of those ify things

supple bane

i dont have any issues lol

#

its perfectly fine for 1080p any settings you want

#

only game my 1060 struggles with is ark, and that doesnt really say much

vestal falcon
#

Its like one of those "bare minimum" type things, you'd be better off getting a 6GB 1060 BlobCatDerp

supple bane
#

ye i fully agree that the 6gb is better lol. but the 3gb is still perfectly fine for most if not all games

#

tbh, you would be better off getting the rx 580 over any of them

#

all about that amd life bruv

coarse nimbus
#

Going forward in the future youd want to get a higher GB card just because thats the nature of new games

supple bane
#

i agree, but my point is that, time being, 3gb is plenty

#

in most games, i see about 2.5gb of usage

crude storm
#

you could buy a rx580 with 8 gb 😄

steep gust
#

@plain bone If you run out of VRAM most games outright crash or run like shit as it pulls textures from storage

#

RX580 doenst have the compute performance to validate 8GB of VRAM

plain bone
#

@steep gust nope, most games run like shit mostly because the real RAM usage is too high

steep gust
#

Uhh I rarely ever see games use more than 8GB

#

And a lot of it is filler garbage the game doesn't really need

crude storm
#

i would pick the amd because its cheaper and has 98 gb ram

jagged citrus
#

Well yea I want a decent budget pc, not a best pc

#

I am playing on my ps4 pro anyway

#

And I will probably buy ps4 when its gonna ne released

#

Thats why I am going with a ryzen 3 2200g combined with a 1050ti/1060 3gb (I think this two are the best to go for) and 8gb ram at 2666

#

Or I can just skip the videocard, get a better cpu and 16 giga of ram and buy a videocard later, but I doubt I will use the full power of that pc because the only thing that I am playing and planning to stream is league of legends, so the first pc shoul be enought

If ur only planing on league for now. I would definetly go more for CPU and RAM. AMD cards are cheaper anyway so a Radeon series should be enough combined with the AMD CPU ❤

@supple bane yeah this thing came with 2 fans but I took the front one off because it wouldnt clear my ram. works just fine with 1 in the middle

supple bane
#

ye that’s my issue

long sphinx
#

so if the mobo cant flash without cpu? ill need someone to hand me over a ryzen 1 wtf

prime jasper
#

@long sphinx dont need that if your board has BIOS flashback

supple bane
#

I don’t think it would fit in because of my gpu either, the gpu is too close to the cpu for that to fit

#

this was the one I was looking at

prime jasper
#

that will certainly do the trick. why not a 3600 or such though?

supple bane
#

I got the 2600 for 120 pound and it came with 2 games WoahHappy

#

and the 3600 would be over kill for my gpu

#

My gpu would bottle neck it

supple bane
#

I saw that earlier ye hahah

#

Looks disgusting

#

Reminds me of a fish bowl

prime jasper
#

we dont have "upHere" across the pond

#

lucky you

supple bane
#

I don’t think we do either haha

#

Either that or I have never heard of them

prime jasper
#

no I mean that isnt on my amazon, never seen it before but it popped right up on UK

#

special snowflake stuff there

supple bane
#

oh right

#

I think I’m gonna go with the 120 man aio

#

I’ll get 2 of those fans that are on the aio just so they all match in my case

prime jasper
#

she'll be fine, will work great for an upgrade too since a 2600 will hardly warm that up

supple bane
#

Atm on stock I ain’t getting close to stock boosts so

#

I need it even if I don’t over clock.

#

only time I saw it at max boost was when I was doing some cad work

#

normally I sit at 3.65 instead of 3.9

long sphinx
#

are you sure about x470 not able to post with ryzen 2 until bios flash?

#

or is it a marketing move to force people to buy x570?

supple bane
#

they post I think, there was another issue of which I forgot

#

May have been overclocking performance or something like that, not sure

broken forge
#

so thinking more about a post I made some days ago, this is the plan:
amd 3 2200g
asrock b450m
8gbs of ram
ssd 500gb

I will use it only for some coding and maybe some minecraft and not heavy programs, and then I plan on buying a RX 570 or 580 later for some 1080p gaming, not planning on playing in ultra or high, I don't really care about that, just average 60fps

#

does the above sound good

prime jasper
#

the new APU already dropped unless your budget is too tight

broken forge
#

yeah, it is tight

#

are you talking about 3200?

prime jasper
#

yes

broken forge
#

I did see some research and it doesn't seem to be worth the difference

latent light
#

RX 5700 XT outselling RTX 2070 Super supposedly WoahThink

broken forge
latent light
#

in raw performance, the 5700XT is faster than the 2070 Super and costs $100 less

coarse nimbus
#

just had to do some home modding to it to make it actually function haHAA

prime jasper
#

@broken forge why not the 2400/3400g then?

broken forge
#

Tight budget, but I will see if some prices drop in Amazon Prime

#

so I can adjust based on that

#

isn't 2200g, 8gb and rx570 enough for some casual 1080p gaming?

#

some r6, maybe battlefield

#

in low or mid

prime jasper
#

well really an APU is pointless for gaming if youre getting a GPU

#

at that point a 2600 shouldnt be hard to come by

broken forge
#

yeah but I am not getting it until like some months

#

maybe 3 or 4

#

so I want to survive those

prime jasper
#

not getting the whole rig?

broken forge
#

I guess, not enough budget
