or ray reconstruction

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkNBvGH3Pw8

dont think youre a snob or anything, if you play mostly tarkov then you should buy the things that help with just that.
sorry if you already said that, but what resolution are you planning to play on?

[worldly topaz]

1080p. I have a 1440p monitor, but it’s strictly used for color

[weary flame]

Fascinating

A 7800XT would kill 1440p

[daring atlas]

Would it be better to play 16gb ram at 3600mhz or 32gb of ram at the windows default ram speed since im mixing ram

[crimson scroll]

if you're mixing ram, it will default to the lowest frequency and timings available

[daring atlas]

thats what i ment by windows default speed

[normal oyster]

That does not exist. Depends on the sticks installed

[obsidian bluff]

can someone help me find a good pc off of amazon for 1k to 1.2k plz by a good brand? my pc is trash.

[weary flame]

Do you need 32gb?

[untold snow]

found 512 ram in my over 20 yeahrs old Computer. They have ddr1

[foggy cloud]

7800 xt and a 7800x3d a decent pair for 1440p gaming?
waiting for games to come on pc but currently playing d4, baldurs gate 3, rdr2, overwatch

[weary flame]

Yeah, great pairing

Just go ahead with it

[foggy cloud]

Thank you Berry

[pulsar dawn]

is a rx6800 good?

[weary flame]

Yeah

See at the price compared to a 7800

See which is better

[lost prairie]

Could anyone be a good sport and help a brother out idk anything about pcs building wise I want a gaming pc that can run mw3 smooth at 200 fps if possible anyone think they can help out with that?

[weary flame]

What's your budget?

[lost prairie]

I don't have one yet tryna how much they cost first

[weary flame]

I'd suggest to think about how much you want to spend tbh

Because I got some builds

Just depends on what you wanna spend

Also, which country?
I'm going off the assumption you're US

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8Txw7R

This is a good build

Maybe upgrade the PSU to a 750 or 850

Shouldn't add too much

Actually lemme do that rq

[lost prairie]

Yes USA I really don't have a budget I'm willing to spend whatever I gotta do to run a smooth mw3 game

[weary flame]

If you literally want all the frames ever that exist rn

7800X3D and a 4090 build, but that's gonna cost you a lotta monry

Money

I'd suggest this tho

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8GYsmD

It's around 1.6k USD

And it should run a lot of things really well

Change the case if you want, it's a preferred one for me

If you have questions I'll answer tomorrow
I need eepies

Gn

[lost prairie]

@weary flame awesome really appreciate it thank you happy Thanksgiving

[weary flame]

You too man, you too

[rose bough]

Question. Worth the price tag or no? https://a.co/d/1zplre6

(On my phone, the link is from the Amazon app is why it looks weird.)

[weary flame]

It says no price listed

Oh wait

Not really

Depends, why do you wantr this?

[rose bough]

I don't want that specifically, I'm just looking for upgrades for my rig because I'm gonna be upgrading my PC when I do a case swap

short version, the ass that designed the current case made it basically impossible to expand the internal storage because the HDD enclosure is less than an inch from contacting the SATA ports on the motherboard.

Like I can't even swap out the one that's in there for one of the multi-SATA connector cables.

Not without pulling the motherboard.

They're JUST far enough apart to not cause a short but close enough together that not even right angle SATA connectors will fit.

And I do mean that, I tried.

[weary flame]

What's your setup?

[rose bough]

Like what components?

@weary flame

[weary flame]

Yeqh

[void lily]

Can I post a picture of two monitors here and so y’all can tell which is better?

[weary flame]

Give the names

[void lily]

Gigabyte G27Q 27.0" 2560 x 1440 144 Hz Monitor or the HyperX Armada 27" 2K QHD (2560 x 1440) 165Hz Gaming Monitor or the AsRock phantom pg27f15rs1a 27” 1920 x 1080 240hz

[weary flame]

Do you want resolution or frames?

[lost prairie]

What was the Resolution at for this build

Good morning 🙏 btw

[void lily]

Tbh I honestly don’t know. This is my first build and my buddy set it all up for me but I have just seen these other monitors and didn’t know if I should stick with the gigabyte or go with one of the other two

[weary flame]

1440p

Easily 1440p

[lost prairie]

That's 4k right?

[weary flame]

No, 2k

It can do 4k

But not as nicely

[lost prairie]

@weary flame can we get it to do 4k 200 fps?

[weary flame]

Lmao which game?

[lost prairie]

@weary flame mw3

[weary flame]

I have no idea tbh, give me a sec

Gues should be fine on low?

[rancid harbor]

Who tf is out here pushing 4K 200FPS

Unless it's league of legends lol

[lost prairie]

Me lol I play Hell of ranked play

[weary flame]

CS2?

And regardless, it's not that unreachable anymor

[rancid harbor]

That depends highly on the game

[weary flame]

Soooooooo

And?

Like

That is my point

MW3 also runs on literal potatoes

[rancid harbor]

At 4K Extreme, MW3 hits 115 FPS on a 7900xtx lol

[weary flame]

Extreme

There you have it

And uh

I specified low

[lost prairie]

@weary flame what about 4k at 16 fps comfortably

[weary flame]

A lot of GPU's can do that

The 7800XT especialyl

[lost prairie]

@weary flame oh sweet 😋

[void oasis]

Wow, that sucks! What case are you replacing it with?

[rose bough]

Apologies for the delay, I work night shift so I was asleep for a while.

I'm thinking of the Corsair 4000D

Um... @crimson scroll Pretty sure that doesn't go here ^

[crimson scroll]

thanks

[rose bough]

No problem 🙂

[keen ruin]

Hey guys, would you say this monitor is worth getting for 100$ ? 😀never had a monitor before as I’m a laptop gamer, so I wouldn’t know anything about them

[fringe dragon]

Considering it has a 1-star rating I'd stay tf away from that.

[fringe dragon]

What's your price range & target specs?

[rose bough]

A 1-star with one review. Not exactly a reliable metric.

[weary flame]

Yeah it's not the worst you can get for the price tbh

Oh def not, normal price is 190

Lmao

Tha tis not a great price

[formal ermine]

Mabye aim for an aoc monitor if you Can find that with around 144 hz

[noble oak]

hi will 240 hz monitor run a pc with Nvidia geforce 3050?

[weary flame]

ti will run, but you probably won't reach 240 fps unless you play like, CS2

[digital willow]

Question, is there a good gaming monitor 144hz that is pretty big and is under 250?

[weary flame]

Under 250USD?

And yes

I got mine for under 250 euro and it's a charm

Nice brightness too

[zenith cove]

if you live on US and have a microcenter close this a nice deal https://www.microcenter.com/product/669806/lg-27gq50f-b-ultragear-27-full-hd-(1920-x-1080)-165hz-gaming-monitor

[digital willow]

Nope, germany

[digital willow]

Can you tell the name please?

[weary flame]

Oh one second

HP OMEN 27q

But idk if you can get it

Lemme find another one

Btw, I assume 1080p?

Oh, and with out without curve?

[humble phoenix]

Sure but its not usual that youll be hitting 240 with a 3050 so Id say overkill

a 144 would do just fine

[humble phoenix]

Easily for 1080 not so easy for 1440

[digital willow]

1080

[humble phoenix]

Yeah you should be good for 250 usd 144 and 1080

[digital willow]

Btw what is the curve for?

I honestly dont know almost anything abt monitors

[chilly briar]

immersion

[weary flame]

The curve doesn't really matter that much

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/yCYmP6/gigabyte-g27f-2-270-1920-x-1080-170-hz-monitor-g27f-2

This one isn't bad

[foggy cloud]

and the 7800 xt has been acquired

[weary flame]

Nice

Hope you have fun with it

I suggest to update drivers btw

You can get them from the AMD site

I'll get the link

https://www.amd.com/en/support

[keen ruin]

Hey, if I want to connect a monitor to a laptop and my laptop doesn’t have the display port connection, would a HDMI to DP adapter do the job?

Can’t connect to hdmi because apparently the monitor doesn’t connect to dedicated GPU on my laptop if connected by hdmi

Like this for example

I’m open for suggestions on how to connect the monitor so I can get most of the performance out of it 😀

[weary flame]

The convertor won't do it's job, as you will still plug in hdmi
You need to change the settings so that it recognises the dGPU and uses it instead of the iGPU, I, however, don't have experience with that

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil hey man, thought you'd like tho know lmao

[pulsar fossil]

Thanks

[noble temple]

Will a 3060ti and a ryzen 5 be able to handle 1080p gaming and streaming at about 160fps all at the same time

[noble oak]

What ryzen 5

[noble temple]

Yh

Maybe a 5600

[noble oak]

Youll have a weak cpu bottleneck

Maybe you can get 5900x?

But i think if you run medium to high on somegames youll get 160fps

[weary flame]

Depends on the settings you have

While the 3060ti will handle a lot of the streaming with Nvenc, I cannot say how much frames you get on an unspecified game

It should be fine to strea tho, but if you want a drop in upgrade, the 5800X3Dexists, and should currently be on sale

[humble phoenix]

You guys have experience with the 3060 ti and 1440 gaming?

[main hazel]

yooo what like the best 240 hz I play fortnite and I need it for performenc my buget is around 200-400$

[deft hare]

What do you guys think this setups worth now?

[weary flame]

More so 1080p tbh

[weary flame]

Try a Radeon 6800 or 6750xt

Both should be just under 400

Will kill anything 1440p, 1080p even more likely

I think ti should reach 240 in Fortnite on 1440p too, but don't quote me on that

Should for 1080p tho

[weary flame]

Price?

[deft hare]

Yeah I bought the pc about 2 years ago I think might sell it just didn’t know what to expect to be honest

@weary flame

[weary flame]

You don't need to ping me

And

It depends on quality of the parts tbh

Around 450-500 for the main components
Then the rest adds, idk, 100-200?

Maybe 300

[deft hare]

Sorry about that and ok thank you

[weary flame]

Np just saying

I wanna say

Low estimate 800, but should be able to sell for 1k

Do make sure you clean the OS up etc

[deft hare]

Sounds perfect I don’t know if I gonna go through with it just in a big dry spell with everything and thanks a lot

[weary flame]

Np

[noble oak]

PC is on the fritz, had this rig for about half a decade now, and most of the parts are older than that - the oldest being my wifi chip which is nearly a decade old.

I am mainly going with Intel/Nvidia here, anyone got any good suggestions for a budget under $2000?

[scenic badge]

There’s quite a few options but you’d get much better value going team red all the way through

In the CPU space alone Intel isn’t competitive anymore. Not if buying new. They get bent over a table by AMD

If you really want RTX Nvidia wins, but normal gaming performance AMD beats all of Nvidia stuff while being cheaper.

With the exception of the 4090. But that card is literally your entire budget

@noble oak if you’d like I can spec a build

[noble oak]

Oh wow! I appreciate it!

So currently here's what I'm running (old specs, ik)

• Intel i7-5820K (3.30 GHz) CPU
• 64 GB DDR4 (all 8 dimm slots filled with Corsair Ballistix)
• Corsair 1300HW/HX PSU
• Nvidia 3060 RTX
• 2 TD drives - Seagate SSD and HDD
• Intel AC-7260 M.2 Dual-Band Wifi card (unfortunately dying a slow death, card is now unstable and barely works, dies under heavy load)
• GIGABYTE-X99-SLI-CF Motherboard

Most of these parts are roughly from between 2016-2018, the oldest part being the wifi chip that's at least a decade old from around 2010 or so according to Google

And yes, this is for gaming. I mostly play GTA V, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 and VRChat nowadays

Absolutely, I custom built mine in my college years so I'm okay building my own!

I don't do prebuilts, those are for rookies or new PC buyers

[scenic badge]

Unless you are getting the 4090 specifically, or care about RTX, AMD > Nvidia and AMD is cheaper

7950X will eat the budget.

5800X3D can still be had for cheap now days and is still better than everything Intel has

7900XTX > 4080 in price and performance

Unless he cares about RT

@noble oak do you care about RT? Only 1 of the games you listed has it

It is but we can at least be honest with him about what’s better at what

[noble oak]

I'm fine with an AMD CPU as long as it doesn't lead to a ton of compatibility issues

I know back in the day AMD CPUs were like a burden to bare, TONS of issues with games and software

But now
I'm not sure if that's any different or has changed
It's been a decade
You'd think people would give AMD more of an eye.

[scenic badge]

None of that applies today however

[noble oak]

Not really caring about RT, I don't care for graphics a super ton.

[scenic badge]

This is the era of Ryzen. Not the bulldozer era

If you don’t care about graphics, then a 7800XD for all your older games that are CPU bound, pickup a good RDNA 2 card like the 6800XT or 6900XT for sub $500, and use the rest on SSD space/ram

And have extra cash to save

Just cause you have a budget of 2K doesn’t mean you need to use it all :p

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HsWsn6

Ta da

Only $1375

RDNA2 still holds up really well today. Especially when you get one on a big sale

With his games he will be more cpu bound than anything else. So this gives him max CPU, with enough GPU for his needs without going overboard

And GPU is easy to swap later if wanted

Very overkill

Better off at 32GB of ram with a Lowe latency

Ryzen prefers fast ram

[noble oak]

AMD GPU? ...I guess, although that means I can't readily use it for AI processing with tensorcores like with an Nvidia card, though it's mostly just for gags at the moment

[scenic badge]

Only until the new API that does the same thing for AMD stuff finally matures. But it’s up to third parties to support it

That’s concerning. Cause higher end RDNA2 bends the 2080Ti over easily

My 6800XT easily beats the brakes off a 2080 Ti

[noble oak]

Are you ready?

[scenic badge]

RDNA is the architecture

RDNA 1 = 5700XT, RDNA2 = RX6000

RDNA 3 = RX 7000

[weary flame]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8GYsmD

Here you go

[scenic badge]

I’d do a Corsair or SK Hynix over the Samsung drive

Samsung this generation is a little

Volatile

[silver light]

i would cut some corners in order to upgrade the 7800xt to a 7900xt

potentially swap the CPU to a 7600 and swap the SSD and CPU cooler

[weary flame]

That's you tho

And this is an amazing build all on it's own

[silver light]

it all depends on needs of the person building

[weary flame]

Further, it's easier to swap GPU's than CPU's
And quite honestly, while there is budget for a 7900XT already, the price diff isn't always worth it

Like, this, in USD, should be around, 1.6-1.7k?

A 7900XT will bring it to around 2 I wanna say, I haven't looked at 7900XT pricing

Regardless, 500 or so for a 7800XT is really good for the current market

[silver light]

its a really good GPU

but if the money is there i would go for a 7900xt

[weary flame]

it's the best gaming CPU currently on the market
For value, for performance etc

[silver light]

but like i said it all depends on the user and priorities

ofcourse the CPU is the best gaming CPU currently available

but a 7600 with a 7900xt gives more fps then a 7800x3d with a 7800xt and thats why i said a few times already... it depends on thepersons interest.. if FPS is all that matters then its a no brainer to go with the 7900xt

[weary flame]

Max FPS is far from it

And I don't think it does....?

Like scaling exists

And that's why a 7800X3D does so much better

[silver light]

difference between a 7800xt and a 7900xt is 30fps

in a 15 game benchmark

on 1440p

[weary flame]

1 Average FPS
2 settings that they use
3 not that relevant as 1080p is still the majority of gaming

Those 5 game benchmarks are meant to be comperative between each other, not much more

Regardless

Even if it is 30FPS
That makes it sound less weorth it

[scenic badge]

Remember

The guy who’s looking for a build already listed his game list

Earlier

It’s mostly older games that are heavily CPU bound

So the 7800X3D makes a much bigger improvement for him

Also, a 6950XT can be had for $500 when found on sale

And a 6950XT beats a 7800XT

[tranquil lark]

Just finished my setup

[weary flame]

Mainly on sale, but more so second hand

And I don't like suggesting it unless I know the person is good enough at this stuff

[normal oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/forest-gump-wave-hi-hello-howdy-gif-22164679

[normal oyster]

Don't need liquid

[scenic badge]

Hi lol

@normal oyster

[weary flame]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It has enough place

and it just sorta works

And it's cooler regardless

I forgot to put the cooler disclaimer rq

[normal oyster]

more about liquid needing maintance and after 3-4 years at MOST potnetially being a point of failure

running a 7950X3D with a Peerless Assassin 120 no issue

https://pcpartpicker.com/b/6FbhP6

[rain elbow]

helo, im planning to pair a rtx 4070ti with an intel i5-14600k

are there any suggestions

[weary flame]

Get a 7800X3D perhaps
For the rest not really

[rain elbow]

oka

ty

[errant gate]

i'd say the 4070Ti is the worst RTX40 that you can buy, if looking the bang4buck.

[weary flame]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scenic badge]

anything nividia this generation is terrible bang for buck

unless you can get a 3000 series for a cheap sale

[weary flame]

30 series isn't this generation?

[knotty bane]

Does Arctis Nova 7 support 7.1 surround sound?

[weary flame]

So far I know yes, but we have another channel for that

[storm shale]

leventarse

[scenic badge]

thats... my point

[weary flame]

Then don't say "unless"

[opal stump]

Hi, I want to upgrade my current budget build: https://be.pcpartpicker.com/list/jb6CDZ
Should I keep with the current gen until the next one comes out and get a 5 5600 or upgrade to AM5 rn. The prices for mobo are still high in my country. (Avg 200 euros)

[weary flame]

What even is your budget?

It says most prices aren't available in Belgium

[lofty cradle]

Waht do you guys think
rtx 4090
32 gb 6000mhz ram
7950x3e
With corsair i100 watercooling

1500w power supply

[weary flame]

Do you need production?

[lofty cradle]

Nah

Gaming and streaming

[weary flame]

get a 7800X3D

[opal stump]

I mean, the ryzen 5 5600 is 140 rn. If I would upgrade to AM5, I gotta change the mobo, 5 7600 and ram. That would be around 500 euros.

Should I stick with am4 until am6 comes or just upgrade now to am5

[weary flame]

I'm asking what your budget is

Either way

Try to see what a 5800X3D costs and if you can drop it in

It's probably the easiest CPU upgrade with most performance

Shouldn't need to upgrade for a long time from that point

[opal stump]

i'd give like 200 out on the cpu

the 5800x3d is like 350 rn. Is the performance that better than 5800x?

Also I don't think I've got the necessary cooling for it.

I don't play any "heavy" games. Casual games, low-end to mid. Roblox, Fortnite, etc..

[weary flame]

It's performance is massive, like it outperforms the 13900k still, and this chip is generations older

And it doesn't run warm, it runs generally cooler because of how it works

[vapid nymph]

I have a 1440p monitor (lg ultragear 27gp850 165hz (up to 180hz)) and I want to pair it with a 60hz 1080p monitor

I also like to render videos and I like to have a lot of browser tabs open so 16GB is barely enough (24-64GB ram?)

I'd like to play some of the demanding games like Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered & Miles Morales, Forza Horizon 5 and maybe Starfield but I'd like to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider at an acceptable 90-120 fps (for all atleast 90+)

I was looking at the RTX 4070 but also RTX 3080 and 3080ti.

Can anyone give me some sort of recommendation? Budget= ~$1500

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, Intel Core i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz and 16 GB ram

Setup from 2017

[weary flame]

If you're willing to go ~100-200 over, I have this, it'll do amazing
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8GYsmD

Otherwise I have this which should be around 1.5k, but I need to check
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/89dnW4

[foggy cloud]

If i have ram that is slower than another kit of ram, will the faster ram just come down to the speed of the slower ram? Probably sounds like a stupid question i know

[weary flame]

Faster ram will go down

Isn't a stupid question if you don't know

[foggy cloud]

Thank you Berry i appreciate it

[vapid nymph]

Looks cool but I don't know anything about AMD graphic card and I'd like to run NVIDIA ShadowPlay

[weary flame]

AMD has it's own alternative iirc

Otherwise, i think a 4070 would be close price?

But it's far fromas great

[normal oyster]

@vapid nymph second monitor doesn't add any load. I would recommend looking at the 6800 xt or the 7800 xt personally

[vapid nymph]

Oh ok thanks, is that amd?

[normal oyster]

Yes

[weary flame]

Budget stuff reason didn't recommend

[crimson moth]

Anyone knows some stuff about mainboards

?

[sour dawn]

Like what?

[bright lantern]

does someone know how do i reset an macro profile on an apex pro mini

[sharp holly]

hi

is this a good gaming pc for 1440p?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yvhyt7

[weary flame]

Add a CPU cooler imo, but for the rest, that's good

Actually, I assume you already have a CPU cooler?

[karmic crow]

@sharp holly Which CPU cooler will you be using? Curious.

[sharp holly]

Im not using a cpu cooler lol

Jk

[karmic crow]

I just wanted to give a little feedback too, now this is personal opinion: I would take a break from Samsung SSDs at this time, they are known to last less than a couple of years. Have had 2 nVME Samsungs already die on me. There are plenty of great SSD brands. I advise, look for a different brand of SSD storage.

[sharp holly]

What is a good cpu cooler for the ryzen 5 7600x?

[sharp holly]

Ok, such as western digital?

[karmic crow]

I use the Kraken elite 360 RGB, but that's if you want to go fancy, eye c andy. by NZXT

[karmic crow]

Love all storage brands, just taking a break from Samsung at this time. I like WD too.

[sharp holly]

Ok

Do you know what a good cpu cooler is?

[karmic crow]

Here's my build so you can see how the NZXT liquid cooler looks, one moment... let me get that for you visually..

[sharp holly]

They look nice but they’re expensive

Is a 240mm also good?

[karmic crow]

For someone reason my Discord is bugged and won't let me upload images / videos? I will upload it to my file server, one moment please. Damn bugs...

[sharp holly]

Ok take your time

[karmic crow]

When you write 240mm is it also good, please let me know which product because there are one thousand coolers with 240mm 🙂

[sharp holly]

The nzxt

[karmic crow]

The Kraken 240 by NZXT, correct?

[sharp holly]

Yes

[karmic crow]

Yep, it's high quality and it'll last you for many years. You will get a slightly higher temp, but nothing close to normal high quality fans when overclocking. You'll still get 10- maybe 15 degrees lower cool at max load.

The only difference between the Elite 360 LCD and that one is asthetic eye candy plus slightly better cooling. Like 3 degrees cooler.

Nothing different but looks.

It's marketing, at its finest. I got it because i am a eye candy sucker for looks. I don't show off but in my private life, I like to stare at my rig and all its beauty and enjoy my build. guess its personal.

[sharp holly]

Thanks for your help!

[weary flame]

I suggest the Arctic Liquid Freezer II personally

[karmic crow]

NZXT elite 360 with LCD display cooler, running at 38 deg without load, and 74 degrees max temp at 100% load. All in celcius.
https://gofile.me/6K9Rm/QxoLGYFpM

@weary flame I LOVE Artic Liquid setups! Absolutely fantastic.....

anyway Green Rickroll, let me know which cooler you decide to order! Curious.

[sharp holly]

Your pc looks great!

[karmic crow]

Ty, don't mind the sound, that is my AC unit behind me.

The computer is mostly totally silent, there is a slight wind noise.

[sharp holly]

One last question. Which one is better? Rx 7800 xt or rtx 4070

I was researching but some people say that amd is better and some say that nvdia is better

The nVidia card 4070 gets about 38 more benchmark points, or in English, you're looking at about 40 more FPS at high resolutions. My personal opinion? I like both brands. At that kind of power, you will not notice much performance difference in any modern game.

220FPS vs 268FPS. Who cares?

All in all though, if you are doing gaming mostly, nVidia will perform better. All in all, AMD will perform better with 3D digital editing.

[sharp holly]

It doesnt matter if you have a 144hz monitor

[karmic crow]

My next card is going to be an AMD GPU though. For sure.

[sharp holly]

I will not use it for editing, only for gaming

[karmic crow]

Well, I recommend the 4070 RTX then. It'll last you 5 years before you even want a new card.

[sharp holly]

With an amd card you get SAM, correct?

[karmic crow]

With supported games, yes.

Correcting myself a little here, looks like it works on all games, only it performs better in ones that have been optimized to work with the tech.

[sharp holly]

Does it matter if you buy a brand like gigabyte or a founders edition?

[karmic crow]

Brand is only marketing 100%. Like a Nike shoe or an Addidas.

[sharp holly]

So it doesnt matter

[karmic crow]

Special editions like Founders or OC edition will give you FPS performance boost. But the brand? Does not matter.

Here, let me give you a URL of a good test site which is generic and neutral to all companies and you can simply search on the name of the GPU there, and get full statistics.

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/

Thanks

[karmic crow]

Have a read, enjoy. Going for lunch nice chattin' Green Rickroll.

[weary flame]

Don't use that site

IT's really bad

[karmic crow]

Please link us a better site.

[weary flame]

Idk, Tom's is solid

But userbenchmark is a scam

It's just, so fake

It's ridiculous

[karmic crow]

I think many of us would like to know of a better generic website than userbenchmarks. It has been used for years by IT people.

[weary flame]

It hasn't used by any IT person that actually does IT

Or knows anything about a product

Yet again, a good site is Tom's Hardware, or GN with it's articles getting updated, or you can watch the videos

[slim yew]

NVIDIA gpu to 400$?

[weary flame]

Do you need Nvidia specifically?

Because, at best, you'll get a cheap, 8GB 4060ti

With AMD you can get a 6750XT

[normal oyster]

User benchmark claims a midrange cpu from 2016 is 10% slower than a flagship in 2023. Their data isn't reliable

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil

[weary flame]

I mean, just going off of their spiel on anything AMD you can extrapolate their unbiasedness

[normal oyster]

sarcasm does not really translate in text well

[weary flame]

It's not sarcasm

They're 100% serious on that

[normal oyster]

eh, not worth internet fighting. let them waste their money

[weary flame]

They are, paying Google because they're salty AMD fired them

[normal oyster]

wait what? They are from AMD and are using user benchmark? I tend to doubt that heavily

1. fired them
2. referring to the owner of the site

oh the owner of userbenchmark

[weary flame]

Yeah

[ruby island]

RX 6600 + RYZEN 5 4500, GOOD?

[weary flame]

It's meh

What's the budget you have?

I assume you're going for a fully new pc?

[pseudo sentinel]

AMD on top

[ruby island]

wtf meu?

meh*

[weary flame]

You're asking if it's good

Its not really

[ruby island]

rx 6600 it’s like a rtx 3060

i think it was good

[weary flame]

I wasn't talking about the GPU

And it's closer to 3060ti in all but RT

[ruby island]

what are you talking about?

processor ?

[weary flame]

Yeah

Hence I was asking for budget and if it's a complete new build, ie, need a new board etc too

[pseudo sentinel]

PowerColor XT Hellhound RX 6700 XT 12GB and Ryzen 5 7600x a good combo? (And 16 GB of ram that I got for free with the CPU)

[ruby island]

it didnt

only a processor i think

[pseudo sentinel]

I’ve already had this pc for almost a year now

[ruby island]

it have ssd+16gb ram

[weary flame]

Yeah that's quite good lmao

[ruby island]

i’’m thinking in a ryzen 5 5600

[pseudo sentinel]

I got the gpu for like 359 or 329 can’t remember the middle digit

[weary flame]

You don't know that...?
If they need a new build, it changes everything

[ruby island]

what about this?

[ruby island]

dont need a new build

[weary flame]

Then what's your budget?

If it's drop in CPU

[ruby island]

A320mh

[weary flame]

Oh that
That's not a great board

[weary flame]

Def not a bad price

[ruby island]

i dont have money to other 😭

[pseudo sentinel]

Ok good cus i spent all my remaining money on it and my pc

[weary flame]

That's not a smart thing to do, but it's not a bad price so dw

[pseudo sentinel]

I didn’t have to worry about paying bills back then

[weary flame]

Fair

[ruby island]

@weary flame rx 6600 it’s like rtx 4060?

[ruby island]

@weary flame My goal is to play GTA 6, will my video card be able to do it? Which processor do I need to get to improve performance?

[weary flame]

Idfk if it will tbh

Haven't looked at it

Plus they'll optimise etc

No idea how much you'll need

And regardless, you don't have the money for a big upgrade

[ruby island]

i will get, it’s onmy in 2025

i will work and get money for a update

[weary flame]

Upgrade

At that point

idk

[ruby island]

i think the video card is good for the game, but i don’t have what processor i nerd

[weary flame]

7800XT and 7800X3D or something

[ruby island]

hum ok

[ruby island]

what about r7 5700x?

[weary flame]

For you i'd just suggest getting a better board when you have the price

But for that socket

5800X3D?

I guess?

[ruby island]

i cant get this because it’s so expensive

it’s r7 5700x a good option?

[weary flame]

I guess

[ruby island]

so i will got rx 6600 + r7 5700x, my goal is play with around 75 fps

[ruby island]

I FIND A R7 3700X, IT IS GOOD?\

[cosmic radish]

I buy rtx 2080ti

[devout wolf]

how much is a R5 7600

[ruby island]

idk

[teal rose]

Ryzen 7 3700X should be more than enough if you plan to play games with 75+ fps especially that you will pair with a RX 6600 which is a very good GPU

If you are planning to run some AAA titles then this build will be good along side atleast and only atleast 16 GB Ram and I'd recommend buying ones with 3200 mhz like 8×2 with the same speed

but you'll need some good PSU to run that

550W-600W is recommended

But it's better that you go and search for this build, see some benchmarks on youtube (there are plenty of them) and then choosd which build goes best with your pocket

[ruby island]

maybe ryzen 5 4500 + rx 6600 can play gta 6?

[gilded glacier]

Hiya,
I need some help on deciding what PC case I should upgrade to.
I was thinking of this one, but I'm not sure if it's really that good. I'm just looking for better airflow basically because my current case is honestly horrendous.
https://www.amazon.de/-/en/MUSETEX-Preinstallation-Mid-Tower-Tempered-Computer/dp/B0C245RXS4/ref=sr_1_19?crid=2UYWWX1LIZXF3&keywords=gaming+pc+case+atx&qid=1701880971&refinements=p_36%3A10000-&rnid=428358031&sprefix=gaming+pc+case+atx%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-19

@weary flame
Sorry for the ping, but I know you know your stuff so I'm also looking for your opinion.

[weary flame]

One second

My suggested case is still the Fractal North, which has solid airflow, or the Fractal Torrent if you just want the most airflow

Otherwise, I think that's an okay case?

[worldly socket]

I am planning to get a rtx 4060 ti 16 gb and ryzen 7 7800x3d, is it good

[weary flame]

i suggest a 7800xt or 6800xt over the 4060ti

Should be close enough in price?

This is off the top of my head

Doing shiet

[woeful grove]

Not sure if this is the right channel, but basically my friends PC has become super slow to the point when he boots to desktop and he opens one thing the whole computer freezes, he hasn’t done anything previous to cause this, he just booted 2 days ago and it’s just given up on him. Any ideas?

[weary flame]

Clean install of windows maybe

I don't directly have another idea

However, this does come with a wipe of all data stored so, if you want to keep some, disconnect the drive that it's in that, crucially, isn't the drive your operating system is on

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil they're at it, again

Wish they would stop but nope

[pulsar fossil]

Yuup

[weary flame]

How ya doing?

[teal rose]

pretty sure it can especially since this card is capable of running games on 1440p and considered one of the best cards within it's price so yeah it should be capable of, and yeah the ryzen 5 4500 is a good cpu too, but i'm unsure if it's available for both desktop and laptop or just for laptops since ppl say that amd skipped the 4000 series for desktop to avoid confusion, but you better do your research

[ruby island]

no, i have it

it workd in desktop top

[teal rose]

oh

then that's a good choice

[ruby island]

ok 👍 ty

[teal rose]

no problem 👍

[noble oak]

hey guys

wht is the best seeting for music

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil lmao another one

[blissful moth]

nice setup

[foggy wasp]

build my own pc... love the steelseries products

[limpid bobcat]

check out ghost spectre. i don’t recommend it if you aren’t technologically inclined but if you don’t mind doing a little work to make it happen, it can speed up boot time and declutter your processes

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil lmao yeah

[pulsar fossil]

Holy moly

[weary flame]

Yeah idk tbh

it was so weird

[pulsar fossil]

It will continue to happen as long as people click on the link

[weary flame]

sadly people tend to be not that smart

[pulsar fossil]

True unfortunately

[noble oak]

So, real quick, I’m wanting to build a laptop, and I think I have the means to do this, but I wanna make it Data accessible. Yes, I said LTE… 5G. Whatever you wanna call it. But is that even possible. I am going from ground up and know someone with 30 years of coding experience in computers and such. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[weary flame]

Idk how you gonna build your own laptop ground up

Unless you mean a Framework laptop?

[devout wolf]

yeah it's possible, you just need a WWAN module

on Thinkpads it's just a B-key M.2 module

[noble oak]

Thanks, I’ll check that out.

[noble oak]

I suppose it’s not literally ground up… but it’s as much ground up as possible. Plus I might build the frame myself.

[noble oak]

Also, does anyone know if Corsair is a good brand? I have not used them personally, but they are a good bit cheaper than my their brands.

[pulsar fossil]

I'm not really up to date on them but I like their power supplies, I've been using 2 for a while now

[weary flame]

For what?

[noble oak]

Thanks

[noble oak]

Probably memory and ram

[weary flame]

Memory and ram?

You mean storage and ram?

And either way, I don't think Corsair sells, rdimm?

I forgot what it's called

For storage, if SSD, Samsung is amazing on reliability

[pulsar fossil]

Oh wait, I use a Corsair nvme ssd as well

It's been great

But check reviews as always :)

[native folio]

Quick question. I have at now a nvidia gtx 1060ti. I am sesrching for a gpu thats better than the rtx 3060ti because thst waa my old gpu und it broke and were not comfortable with it. 🙂

[noble oak]

Thanks

[noble oak]

rtx3090

Or 4080

[stiff niche]

What wattage psu would be enough for a pc with: 7800X3D and 7800XT

[weary flame]

What's your price range?

[weary flame]

I think a 650-750W should be good if I remember correctly

I've an 850(?) For my 7800X3D and 3070 and it's sorta overkill for the wattage it pulls tbh

[sharp holly]

750 should be the sweet spot

[sharp holly]

the rtx 4090

[native folio]

I have round about 400€

[weary flame]

COuntry?

[native folio]

Germany

[weary flame]

6750XT

Highest end I can find

Shouldn't be too far of a 3080 as equivelant

[native folio]

Ok thx

[noble oak]

That is a must. lol

[noble oak]

⬆️
I meant to link this one.

[pulsar fossil]

That makes a lot more sense, I was kinda confused 😅

[noble oak]

lol, yea

Random question, but you got admin rank so I figure your into this kinda stuff.. so fair game. What graphics card do you use in your daily.

[random copper]

Hi everyone, I’ve recently redone the thermal paste on my Ryzen 7 2700x and when I’ve gone to reinstall it and turn it on, I’m getting the red cpu light. I’ve tried multiple things to try and remove it such as replacing the cpu and checking the cables but nothings seemed to work.

How can I fix it?

[weary flame]

Which board do you have?

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil they're at it again

[pulsar fossil]

Thanks

[pulsar fossil]

Oh hey, didn't see that. 4080 :)

[noble oak]

Hi @everyone

[weary coral]

what should I do if it interrupts me in Arctis Pro+Gamedac headphones?

i dont hear anything now

[noble oak]

Sweet

[noble oak]

Anyone have experience using a dell nvidia NVlink connector for nvidia quad to RTX 6000 Graphics Card?

[rain elbow]

can anyone suggest me what to pick,
i already have a decent rig for working (rtx 3060 and i5 11400h) and stuff
but i wanted to up a notch for gaming so i am choosing to
either get a 7800x3d and rtx 4070ti build or
ps5 / ps5 pro (when it comes out)

do u recommend the pc build or ps

[weary flame]

I'm gonna be honest, I don't think it will work...?

[weary flame]

Depends
Are you planning to do things like working from home, browsing etc, just things that require a pc?
Because that ps5 (pro) will be cheaper

However, if you actually do want that, you can also consider upgradability a couple years down the line with your CPU, iirc it's projected at least Ryzen 9000 will be on AM5

And the GPU isn't that hard to switch

Although I do recommend a 7900 xt or something over a 4070ti

[unborn lynx]

i would say 750w-850w psu:)

[rain elbow]

i wont be doing any graphic intensive processing anytime, so my current rig of rtx 3060 is already overkill since basically all im doing is browsing or word or excel

im confused about my gaming perspective

altho rtx 3060 is good but idk how good it will be in the future years

that's why im considering either a ps5 pro or as you said 7900xt and 7800x3d

[weary flame]

I still suggest to get an AMD card, purely for price
Unless you're interested in things like DLSS 3.0 for example

[rain elbow]

given that this rig is only for gaming

[rain elbow]

yeah

[weary flame]

PC does allow for the most games to be played

And PS is limited to, well, what PS has for you

It genuinely depends on your budget, what you wanna do etc

[rain elbow]

so u suggest a 7900 xt over ps5 pro

[weary flame]

You can even just use the 3060 for some years and upgrade later to something like, a 7900XT or 4080 when they're a lot cheaper

[weary flame]

Not really

It depends on what you want to play, how much you want to pay etc etc

[rain elbow]

suppose my budget is about

idk

2k

[weary flame]

Consoles are never a bad thing, they're cheap, they perform really well, but the downside is not really upgradeable, and very limited in the games you can play

If you don't have a big budget or you only want to play games on a specific console, get that console

If you want to play more games, and have more freedom in general what to do, get a PC

I, personally, like PC's more

[rain elbow]

then ig pc does sound better

pc it is then

alright thank youu

[limpid bobcat]

you can also use a controller pretty easily with PC. I have mine plugged in for less input delay but most controllers can connect wirelessly to the PC. I never got used to playing mouse and keyboard so I just use a controller and it works great

[humble phoenix]

Yeah pcs may be more expensive but theyre overall almost always better if youre willing to spend more

Consoles are if you wanna save money

For 2k its no doubt better to get a pc

[exotic abyss]

is i5-10400F and Rtx 3060 12 gb good combination?

if you ask me, i can't upgrade cpu. like i can't

[humble phoenix]

10400f is a bottleneck often

[exotic abyss]

actually bottleneck causes stutters? or does it limit performance and that's all

cuz i won't go for freaking 3050 to prevent bottleneck

[exotic abyss]

i upgraded from i7-870 like a year ago so i won't get new CPU, it would be waste of money

i wonder what would happen if i got like 3070 or 3070 ti to get some future proof

so i would only need better CPU to get in like a year

[humble phoenix]

Bottleneck means it could limit performance and it'd depend on what kind of game youre playing

But 10400f and a 3060 is kind of a big difference you could try a 20 series card ig

You need to upgrade cpu if youre looking to upgrade your gpu into something thats worth upgrading to today

But up2u

Like it'd be a waste to upgrade to a bottleneck so just save up more and do both gpu and cpu

Id say 12400f might be a good option for you

[exotic abyss]

I might save up somehow for next christmas

I mean if nvidia wont drop anything cheap and cool then i will buy like 3070 ti or some 40xx card with new cpu

[weary flame]

Are you getting these new?

[devout wolf]

@pulsar fossil another

[pulsar fossil]

It's all about checking reviews imo

[weary flame]

Lmao

[analog bay]

B650m pg riptide

I’m trying to build a pc and I’m looking for the motherboard rn I chose a ryzen 5 7600 and a Radeon rx 6950 xt

[devout wolf]

it's alright but pretty expensive rn

[analog bay]

I found one on Newegg for 190 but on micro center they are 150 on sale unfortunately it’s out of stock

Do you know any substitute motherboards I can use

[devout wolf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fFzhP6

[analog bay]

Oh and what is the difference between WiFi and no WiFi on mothorboard

[weary flame]

A wifi module

Sometimes a bluetooth module

[devout wolf]

always a bluetooth module nowadays

it's built into Intel WiFi chips

[devout wolf]

just that, you don't have to buy a separate WiFi card

[weary flame]

There are other wifi chips?
But they also have bluetooth generally

[polar monolith]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pchelp/s/Pmk4xrprP6

Please my dads getting pissed off now

[weary flame]

Reseat CPU and ram, check if the fan header is going correctly

[polar monolith]

Fixed it, it was the fact I didn’t have any APX_12v plugged in

[pulsar fossil]

Pretty sure I've made that mistake as well :D

[polar monolith]

😂 yep I feel so stupid, but it’s working now and I get double or triple the frames so 😃

[pulsar fossil]

You live and you learn :D

[analog bay]

So should I get one with wifi or just buy it separately

[devout wolf]

the one with WiFi is cheaper rn, so that

[weary flame]

Regardless, it tends to be only 10 bucks, and overall it's smarter to get that just to have it

[rain elbow]

should i go for rtx 4070 ti or rx 7900 xtx

because if dlss 3 is turnt on the rx card lags behind by a lot

but if on native, the rtx lags behind

but realistically speaking, i prefer dlss 3 over native

[weary flame]

Depends on how much you wanna spend

And if you play games that have DLSS 3

[nimble dust]

Rate my build 1-10^

[spare silo]

solid 9! would suggest maybe sticking to a certain color i stead of the rainbow rgb though!

[exotic abyss]

ye im getting 4060 for christmas

althought CPU is old

[weary flame]

Any reasons you're going Nvidia?

[exotic abyss]

kinda

i know nothing about amd

[weary flame]

AMD is really good these days

[exotic abyss]

nvidia is easy to follow

in terms of their gpus naming

[weary flame]

...?

So is AMD

[exotic abyss]

idk

[weary flame]

Frankly, it's easier

You don't have the weirdest, misnamed products

[exotic abyss]

well it doesnt matter

it will bottleneck anyway

[weary flame]

I still suggest getting like, a 6600 and get a better CPU

[exotic abyss]

i can'tt

[weary flame]

With a 4060 you're not gonna bottleneck that hard

[exotic abyss]

well according to pcbuild fps calculator i get 200 fps less in apex legends

idk how to trust it tho

[weary flame]

Don't trust that

[exotic abyss]

i want the 240 fps somehow

[weary flame]

1080p, low

[exotic abyss]

ye

on apex legends

[weary flame]

Apex really isn't a hard game to run

[exotic abyss]

i think i will have to play with settings a bit

ye

but 3060 is running it 210 fps avg on youtube and the 4060 im getting usually gets 10 fps more than 3060 so it would mean that i will get 220 fps avg

[weary flame]

And regardless

A 6600 tends to do better than a 3060

Especially raster

Unless you ordered it already

[exotic abyss]

weird

in 4060 vs 6600 test, 4060 seems to perform much better

like 20 fps more

[weary flame]

That's not much at all

Further, the 4060 will run into bus limitations

[exotic abyss]

idk

changing a gpu won't do big difference itself with my cpu anyway

i will enjoy the experience i will have and maybe upgrade cpu in the future

[weary flame]

The 6600 is considerably cheaper iirc

You can get a better CPU with the price difference

[exotic abyss]

why is rx 6600 the same price as my gpu (actual gpu) and it's so good comparing to mine 😭

[rain elbow]

berry what cpu do u suggest for 1440p ultra preset with 4070ti

[exotic abyss]

im socket 1200 soooo

can't get anything better than i7-11xx for that money

or i5-11 idk

[weary flame]

For gaming? 7800X3D all the way
For mixed use, 7950X3D isn't bad, but the 13900k at that point also becomes interesting

Although not a fan of it

[exotic abyss]

so cpu upgrade would be less efficient/more expensive than you thought

btw should i get anything more than 16 gb ram

or 16 is enough

i have 3200 MHz although they work in 2666 MHz because of CPU's cap

[weary flame]

16 is good

CPU's cap is what it natively supports

[exotic abyss]

ye

[weary flame]

However, XMP doesn't void warranty unless it's the sole reason the CPU died, which is not reeally possible

[exotic abyss]

i5-10400 is 2666 MHz from what i know

[weary flame]

I'm sorry, what's your total PC budget?

[exotic abyss]

"440 usd"

according to currency converter

[weary flame]

No

YOur own currency

[exotic abyss]

around 1700 pln

[rain elbow]

are you building a whole pc rig from your budget?

[exotic abyss]

nah not really, at least i dont think so. I plan to get 4060 for 240 hz gaming

but i have bottlenecking cpu which is a problem (i5-10400f)

and i wondered if i would be able to play apex legends 240 fps

that's it

[rain elbow]

you can

at

1080p low

[exotic abyss]

idk

from youtube benchmark it's 280 fps on avg but in rainbow six siege

from what i know Apex legends is much harder to run than the R6 aka rainbow six siege

i guess i will see in a week

[weary flame]

Really not gonna be that much of an issue

[exotic abyss]

i dont think i should really worry that much on these fps

[weary flame]

That''s what I've been telling you

[exotic abyss]

okayy

thanks

[rain elbow]

i dont think u need to worry about getting 240 fps, since basically ur getting about 220 and i dont think 20 more fps will make u lose a match :)

[weary flame]

@pulsar fossil lmao again

[pulsar fossil]

Thanks

@pulsar fossil this one's
Yeah

[pulsar fossil]

Thanks. I was sleeping when it happened 😅

[weary flame]

Same

Thought best to notify asap

How was sleep tho?

[pulsar fossil]

Appreciate it

It was alright, you?

I'm still a little under the weather

[weary flame]

I am

It's been a night

That's all I can say really

Just, really shitty

[pulsar fossil]

Sorry to hear

[weary flame]

Yeah

But life goes on

Gaming with gf rn, so life's good anyway

[pulsar fossil]

That's good :)

[robust drift]

Hey guys, could anybody rate the PC? I don't know if i should buy this..:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/23bhFs

[weary flame]

That's a more than solid build

For the budget, it really isn't bad if you like things like Nvidia RT and DLSS

I would suggest that

[robust drift]

Mhm, so it's good for gaming right?

[weary flame]

It's banger

[rain elbow]

what is the difference between ventus and suprim/ gaming version of msi gpus

like does the performance differ

[weary flame]

IT's overall more so features

[digital willow]

Can anyone help with my pc? It wont turn on

[junior pendant]

is it fully plugged in

[junior pendant]

i think its a good build but i would get more storage since games nowadays have big file sizes but you only need it if you aren't gonna play a lot of new triple A games

[digital willow]

I fixed it, power supply problem

[robust drift]

Nah man, 1TB would be a big upgrade for me. Right now, i have around 450Gb storge

[weary flame]

Do try to get 2TB

The price for it really isn't bad

And a good chunk will be taken by Windows

[noble oak]

i need to upgrade lol

[jaunty frigate]

yo

someone wants to play fortnite

[umbral bramble]

https://geizhals.de/wishlists/3588850

I'm still battleling with myself with Nvidia or AMD, because it 's hard to choose for me

[weary flame]

What's your budget for GPU?

[umbral bramble]

I don't have a Budget for just one specific part.

My "Limit" for all parts together is only below 2500€

[vocal aurora]

So you need to cut €300 from this build? Or you've found some of these parts cheaper?

[cold grove]

@vocal aurora
i just wanna be able to run most games, for example like gta
i got I5-12600KF
i got 16gb of ram, 15.8gb available
not much atm since i just thought i might be able to get a upgrade in chistmas so between 50-100 euro, but later i might be willing to spend like 100-200 probs. i know its not really a lot i just wanna see if i can get an upgrade for that and if not what budget do i need and what should i get

[vocal aurora]

No graphics card? Intel integrated only?

[cold grove]

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

[vocal aurora]

Huh

So what exactly are you finding isn't running?

[cold grove]

nothing is really not running im just wondering if there is anything i can upgrade to make it run a bit smoother, its just a bit lag from time to time and i couldnt think of anything else to wish for

[vocal aurora]

I can tell you that for games your bottleneck is gonna be your graphics card unfortunately, so an expensive upgrade

If you wanted to raytrace I'd suggest an upgrade to a 3080 or 4070ti, 4070 if it was more affordable, then eventually upgrading to 32gb of ram

[cold grove]

oooh thats unfortunate aha, guess its gonna come from me and not a gift then

[cold grove]

what would you suggest i upgrade to in that case?

[cold grove]

okey thanks

[vocal aurora]

Oh and if load times aren't snappy make sure you're running on an SSD not a hard drive, nvme if possible. They're pretty cheap atm

It you weren't bothered with rtx then maybe an rx 7800? 7900 xt if you're feeling fancy?

[vocal aurora]

Probably not haha

Oh and what monitor have you got?

Is it 1080p?1440?4k? And what refresh rate?

[cold grove]

i mean if absolutely needed i got like 3000 in the bank but im not sure if i wanna spend all that ahah

[vocal aurora]

Haha

What currency? You in the US? Europe?

UK?

[cold grove]

euro

[vocal aurora]

I only bought my 3080 because I found it for a steal second hand at a reputable second hand shop here in the UK, £400 lmao

[cold grove]

1920x1080 144herz monitor

[vocal aurora]

I'd be happy with a 3070ti or 4070

[vocal aurora]

Yeah so everything should be running on what you've got just, yk, maybe not ultra with ray tracing 144hz lmao

For perspective, running the benchmark in cyberpunk with ray tracing ultra I get like 45fps

Ryzen 7 5700x, rtx 3080

[cold grove]

okey so basically im okey with everything i got unless i wanna run everything on higher settings?

[vocal aurora]

Exactly

But make sure to be using an nvme for storing games

[cold grove]

okey nice thanks

[vocal aurora]

It's genuinely a really nice qol improvement

And a 1tb one at least over here is like £40, 2tb about £90

£110 maybe

[cold grove]

so i shouldnt increase my ram?

[vocal aurora]

I'm assuming you have ddr4? Probably running 3200 - 3600mhz? Usually the average for 12th gen intel i5 systems I think?

[cold grove]

im running 2133 mhz actually

[vocal aurora]

Ah

I mean a faster kit might be worth it maybe? But if I'm honest, if it costs you more than like €60, that's money which could've gone on a better GPU yk?

[cold grove]

okey so i could buy a faster kit but its better to save for a better gpu? like its not really needed but would be nice to get?

[vocal aurora]

Yeah

[cold grove]

i mean im probably not going to buy a better gpu now, maybe a little later when it becomes a big problem with games you know. what kit would you recommend tho?

[devout wolf]

you sure it's not a faster kit with XMP disabled?

[cold grove]

I actually got no idea how to check that

[devout wolf]

do you have CPU-Z or HWiNFO64 installed?

if not, get this https://www.hwinfo.com/download/

[weary flame]

Correct me if I'm wrong
But I think you can see it in task manager anyway?

[ionic galleon]

yeah

[weary flame]

Oh, nice

I remembered

[abstract glacier]

Does anyone know if I can plug a regular HDMI monitor up to an Xbox One without a capture card?

[pulsar fossil]

You can plug an Xbox into any hdmi monitor that supports the resolution the Xbox uses

[cold grove]

this is what it shows, still dont know whats what tho 😅

[weary flame]

It shows the speed your memory is running at
The first one that is

[frosty nexus]

Can Lian li strummers fit into a 3060

[cold grove]

Idk how to check if i have CPU-Z or HWiNFO64 installed. And you said I can see that in task manager

[weary flame]

I'm saying that's the speed of your ram

You don't need either to check it

Either way
I suggest to find a yt guide how to enable xmp

So you can tighten your timings at least, if not give better speeds than whatever you have now

[cold grove]

if i turn on xmp wont that put strain on my pc? oh and do i just wanna enable xmp or do i want to enable xmp advanced options aswell?

[weary flame]

Enable xmp 1 iirc

And it will put "strain" on your CPU
But way before your CPU gives up, you will have crashes and just regular instability anyway

[cold grove]

okey cuz i searched up how to enable xmp and in my BIOS there was just a button that said enable XMP is what he said, then later he was talking about advanced xmp settings, should i do that aswell?

[weary flame]

Just enable XMP1

[cold grove]

and how do i do that? cuz i cant find anyone showing how to do that, only about xmp. idk shit about this sorry

[weary flame]

XMP 1 is a specific profile

Just follow the video

[cold grove]

going into ai overclock turner and putting on DOCP, for me its XMP since i have intel but should i do that, i know you said follow the video but im not sure how much of it i should follow? like should i just do exactly what he is doing the entire video?

[cold grove]

[untold snow]

can some one tell me if this configuration is good ?

[weary flame]

Do you do any workload type of work?

[weary flame]

Idk which video you're watching

[cold grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDzrq5IxBX4&ab_channel=Maraksot78 this is the one im watching

[weary flame]

Should be fine

Just enable xmp

That's it

[cold grove]

okey thanks, then i wont do anything more since ive already done that

[cold grove]

will enabling it lower my ping? cuz when i played just now i got down to around 10 when im usually around maybe 20

[weary flame]

It reduces latency and improves performance

Basically

Tad more complicated

[cold grove]

okey

[west sentinel]

What’s xmp?

[devout wolf]

checking if the memory has an XMP profile

[drowsy cloak]

Hi guys my PC has an issue that browsers would go all slow and sluggy but when disabling HArdware acceleration it works fine? what could be the cause, it works impecible when gaming and everything else

[drowsy cloak]

Extreme Memory Profile, it basically ups the speed of your ram so for example if you retail buy a RAM stick which is 4000Mhz it may only be running at 3200Mhz until you turn XMP on

[weary flame]

Because your hardware accelerator doesn't really work that well
It requires overhead your pc cannot deliver one way or another

[weary flame]

Assuming DDR4, it will be running, at best, at 2333

[rain elbow]

hii berry, i completed the build from what you suggested<3

[weary flame]

Hey, that's nice!

What were the specs again? i forgor

Does look like, at least, a 4070

Oh also, cable mod should have a white 13VHPWR cable

Get the angled cable btw, not adaptor

[pulsar fossil]

Looks fantastic

[lone field]

bro pretty pc

[foggy cloud]

is there much of a difference between the 7800 xt and 7900 xt? just curious. - i just upgraded to the 7800 xt from a 1660ti and got it on sale

[weary flame]

Well
There is def a difference

But don't

You just got a 7800xt

You don't need to keep upgrading

[limpid bobcat]

is there a way to install a bios that is not the one that came with the PC? Omen Bios is so restrictive i hate it so much

[weary flame]

Oh actually
Is it against a wall or not? Not entirely certain with the camera angle

[weary flame]

Honestly idk
It depends on so many things like of they use a boars from someone like Asus
If so, you should be able to find a bios on Asus site

Otherwise

Idk

[limpid bobcat]

i honestly have no idea what mobo it is. ✨Prebuilt tingz✨

[pulsar fossil]

I doubt there's much you can do unfortunately

Unless you can find a homebrew bios of some kind

[limpid bobcat]

i wanna boost power to cpu because i’ve heard that’s a way to bump the speed when you don’t have an unlocked cpu but omen bios doesn’t allow that at all 😞 they really don’t want you messing with the system for some reason

[pulsar fossil]

Is it this version you have @limpid bobcat?

[rain elbow]

4070ti

and rx 7800x3d

[limpid bobcat]

oh no it’s a HP Omen 25L i7 12700 and rtx 3070

[rain elbow]

thank youuuu

[rain elbow]

tyyy

[pulsar fossil]

Great because those are very power limited

[weary flame]

Eyyy, nice
Have fun!

Hope it serves you well 💕

[pulsar fossil]

Things have come a long way since my first PC 😂

[limpid bobcat]

yeah i realize that more every day ☹️. i just attempted ram overclocking on crucial pro 3200mhz with 22 22 52. tried going 3467 and 21 21 51 and it had a fit

[rain elbow]

ahh the medieval rtx 4070ti

[pulsar fossil]

My first GPU had 8MB VRAM

And a single core cpu with 536 MHz, no threading or anything

[limpid bobcat]

i love my pc don’t get me wrong it does everything i need it to and more. i’m just trying to learn everything i can about hardware and software because it interests me

every extra point i can get on a benchmark is so satisfying just because i learned something out of it

[pulsar fossil]

You can consider switching the motherboard to something more off the shelf

Would give you a lot more bios options

[limpid bobcat]

that’s an idea i’ve been considering. i’m slowly teaching myself how to build the pc by taking different things apart and putting it back together, that might be my next venture

[rain elbow]

its against the wall

i became confused what you said 🥹

[weary flame]

Move it away

It needs airflow from the back

[rain elbow]

okayyy

[devout wolf]

there are 2666 and a few 3200 JEDEC kits

[weary flame]

Oh yeah 2666 was the other one

[devout wolf]

but yeah 3200 is pretty uncommon on XMP DDR4 kits

if you get a fresh batch you could end up with one

[foggy cloud]

fs just was curious

[weary flame]

It wasn't close to the end of DDR4 iirc
It was the more popular frequency over 3600, just getting a 3200 kit with the good timings was hard

[devout wolf]

oh I meant JEDEC

there was a non-XMP DDR4-3200 rating

[exotic abyss]

i have got new gpu

and my game is crashing and stuttering

is that because of 98% ram?

im never getting below 100 fps (if not stuttering)

it's 4060 and i5-10400f

which is weird combo but it works i guess

i don't think it's because of that but idk

[pulsar fossil]

Try doing a clean install of your gpu driver

[exotic abyss]

Ok

Literally insalled it yesterday

[pulsar fossil]

Oh I thought you replaced another gpu?

[exotic abyss]

Ye

But i installed new drivers already

I will look in some game logs when i get back home

But i dont think that it will tell me anything

[pulsar fossil]

Best of luck :)

[exotic abyss]

Actually downloaded drivers from nvidia website but i didnt press update in device menager but i dont think i need if i downloaded nvidia drivers from website already

Correct me if im wrong

Can it be because i installed this game when i was using my old gpu?

[weary flame]

Try to reinstall drivers cleanly

[exotic abyss]

Btw the game is randomly closing not freezing

[exotic abyss]

idk tbh

[exotic abyss]

"ErrorMessage": "LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 772] \npDevice->GetTextureAllocator().AllocateTexture(TextureDesc, ClearValue, Format, *OutTexture2D, InitialState, Name) failed \n at W:/Engine/Source/Runtime/D3D12RHI/Private/D3D12Texture.cpp:821 \n with error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED, \n Size=1024x1024x1 Format=DXGI_FORMAT_BC5_UNORM(0x00000053), NumMips=11, Flags=\n\n\n",

this is error message from logs (Hogwarts legacy)

idk if you know what that means

it says crash type = gpu
