We have the same cpu cooler

[wheat river]

what gpu is this?

[proud snow]

Rx7700XT

[wheat river]

hows it running so far? im considering the gigabyte version or the xfx one

[proud snow]

Just make sure you have two separate gpu cables on your psu. It runs fine

I am able to use ray tracing in call of duty Cold War medium ray tracing settings

But the ray tracing on this card isn’t too

It’s meh

But running 1080p games on epic it does easily

I personally play on a 1080p 100hz monitor so

I just put it to that

[wheat river]

wait why does it need 2 cables

[wheat river]

eh thats alright

wont be gaming much

[proud snow]

The gpu has two power ports

as u can see in the pic

And it’s not advised to use a split cable

But I guess if you got a good psu cable you could do it

[wheat river]

i see

[proud snow]

I use two separate ones

Just to make sure

[wheat river]

yea cuz the gpu im using currently only has 1 cable

this gonna be annoying maybe

[proud snow]

GPU or power supply?

How much watts is it

[wheat river]

i believe the supply had 2 cables and one was just dangling since it wasnt being used

so itll prob be fine?

or

[proud snow]

I mean I haven’t confirmed it bro but they say two separate cables is better

But prob u can use one cable split in 2 as well

[wheat river]

yea mine is like one split i believe

[proud snow]

No problem as long as u got enough watts

[wheat river]

alright nice

[proud snow]

What kind of psu do you have

[wheat river]

uh how do i check without opening my pc

[proud snow]

You didn’t place it in?

[wheat river]

i did but like a long time ago

[proud snow]

Taking the backplate off takes a minute

prob less

[wheat river]

lmao alr

[proud snow]

It’s like in the corner bro

[wheat river]

oh wait im changing to a new motherboard and cpu today anyways

ill let you know then

in like 30 mins im gonna start

[proud snow]

What ru getting

out of curiosity

[wheat river]

i have a parts list i think

yea ofc

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/lukatuka/saved/qzPZ23

this is everything in it i think

but the ssd is p3 not p3 plus

and ignore that psu

thats what i was thinking of getting

if i didnt have enough

[proud snow]

It’s private

I can’t see it

[wheat river]

oh mb

[proud snow]

Your getting a whole new pc?

[wheat river]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/lukatuka/saved/qzPZ23

[wheat river]

no i already have everything here but the gpu

i just got a new mobo and cpu ram combo so im swapping those out

[proud snow]

And ur thinking of rx7700xt right?

[wheat river]

yep

399 is p good price for me

[proud snow]

I think the difference is

The xfx one is with two fans

And gigabyte one like mine

Has three

It’s oc edition

[proud snow]

mine was a little more expensive u got a good price there

[wheat river]

theres a 3 fan version as well i believe

lemme send link

[proud snow]

Do whatever fits your budget best

[wheat river]

3

[proud snow]

And what’s more avaiblse

[wheat river]

same price somehow

[proud snow]

Oh and it should fit your case

[wheat river]

yep

[proud snow]

This card is pretty big

just so u know

[wheat river]

it works on pc partpicker so

should fit?

[proud snow]

If they have a tool for that

Then I would trust it

I mean the website

[wheat river]

how much was urs?

[wheat river]

ah rly

ill look at the dimensions myself then

[proud snow]

440

[wheat river]

damn

[proud snow]

In Euros

[wheat river]

expensive

[proud snow]

I mean it should just fit

In a full size case

[wheat river]

barely

[proud snow]

But you never know

[wheat river]

yea ill watch for that

[proud snow]

It just fits in mine

[wheat river]

tbh maybe ill only need the 2 fan one

[proud snow]

I’m happy I didn’t get 7800

[wheat river]

what case?

[wheat river]

bigger?

[proud snow]

I think so but I might be wrong

[proud snow]

No idea it was a prebuilt initially

it’s some cheap ahh case

[wheat river]

oh i see

[proud snow]

But I dont really care about aesthetic

I keep the backplate off

[wheat river]

rly lol

i would be stressed if it was messy looking

[proud snow]

I just want it to work well

[wheat river]

yea understandable

[proud snow]

I would p it it on but my psu cables are too big

It came with 500watts psu initially that fit

[wheat river]

got this fractal north for 100 usd

looks so clean

[proud snow]

you got a pic

[wheat river]

is ur pc modular or semi

[proud snow]

?

[wheat river]

yea ill get one rn

[proud snow]

Fully modular

[wheat river]

ah

[proud snow]

Better to have less cables in the

case

[wheat river]

i think mine came with semi modular

in the old pc

wish i had modular

[proud snow]

It’s better for space

but I mean

It’s not terrible to have semi modular

I used to have not modular at all

you have to stuff away a bunch of. Cables

[wheat river]

yea and organization as well

ok sending

[proud snow]

Will you get those cable extensions

For aesthetic

[wheat river]

👀 what are those

cpu cooler fan lights not on cuz no plug in on mobo lmao

itll turn on with new motherboard tho

[proud snow]

Like those white

Cables

That look really good

[wheat river]

oh lian li ones?

[wheat river]

thanks lol

[proud snow]

For example

[wheat river]

looks better in person i would say

[proud snow]

U chose a nice cas

With the wood grill

[wheat river]

i will def look into those but I kinda wanted to go for a minimal rgb clean look in this

[proud snow]

What’s the gpu in there

[wheat river]

yea fs im glad i got it

[wheat river]

like a 580 x

super old so this upgrade is gonna be huge

https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Phantom-DirectX-256-Bit-Express/dp/B07HKB634Y

motherboard is also hella old

[proud snow]

Rx580 yeah this will make a HUGE diff

[wheat river]

yea im so exciteddd

[proud snow]

I used to have an rx550 actually

[wheat river]

damn rly

[proud snow]

Terrible gpu

[wheat river]

this one has lasted like 6 years lol

[proud snow]

That’s pretty good

[wheat river]

ye

[proud snow]

U saved up or?

[wheat river]

and since im used to it itll be a major diff

[proud snow]

ye you’ll be disappointed from the ray tracing at amd though

It’s just nvidia thing

Doesn’t matter

It has enough raw power

[wheat river]

my dad is getting it for me as a gift

grateful

[wheat river]

rly

fortunately i prob wont be doing any rt or heavy gaming

[proud snow]

Ye that’s how I experienced it

[wheat river]

maybe later on but 7700xt should be enough for most games

[proud snow]

I have it paired with a ryzen 9 5900x

I’m still on am4

[wheat river]

ooh

wait is ryzen 9 expensive

[proud snow]

240 for me

It’s pretty expensive

[wheat river]

never really figured out the difference in those numbers

[proud snow]

a ryzen 7 5700x3d is better in gaming and cheaper

A ryzen 9 has more cores for productive tasks

That’s the point of ryzen 9 cpus

But it still has 64 mb l3 cache

It’s more then enough for gaming

[wheat river]

i see

like for example why is a ryzen 9 9900x almost same price as the ryzen 7 7700x i got

[proud snow]

That’s the new west one

Newest*

[wheat river]

cheaper?

[proud snow]

Nah it’s not cheaper then mine

[wheat river]

i mean relatively

[proud snow]

Idk what u mean

[wheat river]

the higher numbers and that similar price dont make sense to me

like ryzen 7 7700 is around 300$

and this is 382 but its like ryzen 9 9900x

[proud snow]

For video editing

[wheat river]

oh

[proud snow]

It matters

and stuff like that

Rendering

Whatever

some ppl don’t use a cpu for gaming only lol

[wheat river]

i see

yea u right

[proud snow]

bur any gamer

Doesn’t need ryzen 0

9*

I just got it for no reason

[wheat river]

so it would be pointless for gamers

or still good

to get ryzen 9

[proud snow]

It’s good at gaming but not good to get only for gaming

[wheat river]

i always thought the higher the number was the higher performance lol

[proud snow]

Better to get cpu with x3d

[proud snow]

The numbers after the thing matter

Every cpu model got its specific

User group

But I see in ur username u already have a 7700x

[wheat river]

oh

[proud snow]

Why get a new cpu?

[wheat river]

ye

well i wanted to update my old mobo since it was missing a lot of features and it was a matx which caused other problems

so i got a bundle

mobo cpu and ram

might as well update old cpu as well

whats in my pc rn

[proud snow]

Ohh you got old one

When did u make this build

[wheat river]

it was originally a prebuilt

and last month i transferred it all into the new case

as well as new fans and cpu cooler

and then now im putting in a new motherboard etc
