Very decent option

tall cove Dec 1, 2020, 4:50 PM

That too but

sly grotto Dec 1, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

price tag not too bad

tall cove Dec 1, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

I think that for that price tag I’d be looking to replace my 1660 with that 3060ti

sly grotto Dec 1, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

If I didn't get my 3070 by now, I think I would've still got the 3070 just for the extra juice

#

but still

#

3060ti awesome price to perf, even better than 3070

#

apparently 3060ti overclocked highly will bring it to stock 3070 speed, or near around there

tall cove Dec 1, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

I just know that the system I have would still need upgrades to handle a 3060ti... maybe

#

Maybe a better psu for it

sly grotto Dec 1, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

what psu you got rn?

#

cause it's recommended to have 600w, as the card chugs around 200 watts tops

crimson scroll Dec 1, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

meh

#

i run a 520w with a 1080ti

tall cove Dec 1, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

I have a 500w

crimson scroll Dec 1, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

recommended always skews high especially since it used to be that SIs would run crappy psus that couldn't deliver actual listed wattage

sly grotto Dec 1, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

Also I absolutely love it how a 3060ti which costs $399 and yet it costs £369.99 in the UK

#

it's hilarious

tall cove Dec 1, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

I don’t imagine OCing it so I think I would be fine

crimson scroll Dec 1, 2020, 4:55 PM

better than it costing 399 pounds

which a lot of cards did

at least we got the NHS and things here which are very beneficial

bold drum Dec 1, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

NHS helps doesnt it. the onyl bad thing is once you get old no more NHS for you

sly grotto Dec 1, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

Well you still have NHS free, apart from prescriptions and things like that

#

but it's no more "free" since you are paying your tax bracket

crimson scroll Dec 1, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

3060ti seems like a worthwhile step up maybe from a 970/980/1060 but not so much from a 1080ti

#

i'd still go used 1080ti imo

sly grotto Dec 1, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

1080ti still solid card to this day

lament trail Dec 1, 2020, 5:02 PM

do you think its worth from a 1650

Silent Wings are pretty good, only real problem is the price. RPM is dependent on size. Bigger fans can move more air without having to spin as fast. Depends on if and how many 140mm fans your case can support vs how many 120mm fans and how many fans you're looking to add to the case

looking at the P300A mesh, so 2 140s as intake and 2 120s as exhuast

#

just fyi

static pecan Dec 2, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

Then you just answered the question lol. 2 140s for the intake and 2 120s for exhaust. In practical terms both sizes will have roughly the same amount of noise, which is to say not a lot of it.

arctic delta Dec 2, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Yeah, do you think the arctic p12 5 pack that Saucy Raichu recommend are quality fans in terms of noise, Ive heard great things about them in terms of performace but dont know about sound

static pecan Dec 2, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

Can't really answer that. Only reason I said anything about the Silent Wings is because I've been doing a lot of be quiet! research lately as I'm doing my upcoming build inside of their 500DX case. and using their new 360mm AIO which comes with 3 120mm Silent Wings 3

Noctua A14 PWM chromax.black.swap 82.52 CFM 140 mm Fan

arctic delta Dec 2, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

those are $2 cheaper

#

and are louder than the silent wings

#

according to PCPP

static pecan Dec 2, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

Noctuas and be quiet!s are generally the same in terms of performance and perceived noise from what I've seen. Both are great fans so it really just comes down to personal preference and whether or not you can find a deal or sale on one vs the other

arctic delta Dec 2, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

sick, ok thanks for your help!

#

ill go with one of those 2 probably then

static pecan Dec 2, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

👌

lucid glade Dec 2, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

The thing is, with Noctuas, you can't go off of just raw decibel numbers. The noise they make is in a much lower register than most fans, so it's a fraction as noticeable.

static pecan Dec 2, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

Which is why I said in terms of practical use the be quiet! and Noctua fans are about equal to one another in terms of how much noise you actually hear and how much air they can move

crimson scroll Dec 2, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

$2 cheaper is $2 cheaper, and comes with noctua warranty

lucid glade Dec 2, 2020, 3:34 AM

Yup. I'm going to have 16 Noctuas in my case, and don't expect to ever have any concerns with fan noise.

Is there a way to tell which motherboards don't need a CPU of the older generation to update BIOS?

crimson scroll Dec 5, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

there's usually stickers on the on-shelf versions to say what generation they support

#

otherwise after a certain amount of time it's fairly safe to assume support for the latest generation officially supported by that chipset

arctic delta Dec 5, 2020, 5:31 PM

Are there some motherboards out rn that don't need an older CPU to update BIOS for Zen 3?

idle bridge Dec 5, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

He just told you that you can usually read it on the info part...

#

You could also ask a retailer

like comment on a page "Does this support x CPU" or ask for the bios version

#

Then you just check if the versions supports it by googling it

crimson scroll Dec 5, 2020, 5:33 PM

@arctic delta Gigabyte X570 and B550 boards have a feature to update the bios through USB. Basically you just need to download the BIOS file from Gigabyte's website for whatever board you have and follow the instructions on the website to properly set it up on a USB drive, then plug the board into your PSU, stick the USB into the properly labeled BIOS flash USB port, press the Q Flash + button (it'll be in different places on different board models) then it should automatically flash the newest BIOS onto the board so you can just plop in a Zen 3 chip and get up and running

Is it safe to buy pc components from ebay?

crimson scroll Dec 5, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

depends on the seller

#

but yes, with ebay's heavy focus on buyer protection it's pretty safe

static pecan Dec 5, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

If you're buying parts from eBay though, best practice is to always ask for verification that what you're buying actually does work, and if they refuse to accommodate any kind of verification, even if it's just a picture, find another seller because that's a major red flag

crimson scroll Dec 5, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

there's also official stores on ebay that are actually better to buy from than the actual store

#

for example, newegg

#

because ebay forces them to actually provide cs

static pecan Dec 5, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

True, also it's generally pretty safe to buy new products off of eBay, but when most people buy from eBay they're buying used stuff which is where the verification stuff can be a problem

I have a question thats been on my mind, maybe someone that works with display/pannels can ansaw this for me
my monitor are LCD TN my question : is it better to have a low contrast with high colour ( RGB temp )
or high contrast with low RGB temps

i ask this because my samsung default to 50 RGB with 80 contrast
but my BenQ default at 50 contrast and 100 RGB

it make me think they both have the same effect ( how bright the RGB pixel can go )

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

for different panels and software, 50 contrast may not be the same

#

it's just whatever panel has more accurate colors and more nits of brightness if you're looking for purely color accuracy

lucid fog Dec 6, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

crimson scroll for different panels and software, 50 contrast may not be the same

well this is the question, when doing a White test ( 0-255 )
I can get the picture both looking the same with both options applyed

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

okay

#

so...what's the issue

lucid fog Dec 6, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

on my samsung is at 41 RGB with 100 contrast but i can swap it by setting the contrast to 0 with 81 RGB it both looks the same
my question is that do the RGB temp the same as contrast if the RGB control how bright the pixel can go ?

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

no, those are different settings

#

contrast is not brightness

lucid fog Dec 6, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

crimson scroll contrast is not brightness

my bad. how bright the white can be

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

thats....still brightness

#

contrast relates more to how dark the blacks go

lucid fog Dec 6, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

crimson scroll contrast relates more to how dark the blacks go

then why do they always test on white ????
aka like lagom test patten or many other they give you a white at 230-254 and tell you if cant see 254 then reduce contrast

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

okay so the actual way contrast is defined on monitors is a contrast ratio

lucid fog Dec 6, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

ye, how much diffence from black to white

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

it relates the ratio of the brightness between the brightest white and darkest black

#

but if you turn up the brightness

#

you're still not making the black "lighter"

#

whereas if you turn the contrast ratio all the way down

#

everything gets washed out to almost the same color and thus brightness by extension because of how the contrast ratio works

lucid fog Dec 6, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

soo then how is one ment to know if they are close/reach the pannel limit ?

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

panel limit of what

lucid fog Dec 6, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

idk dont know how to explan it well enouth, i always tho thats the way contrast works was telling the RGB pixel ( here is the how much more or less bright you can go, and brightnass was how much backlight from the display

when doing a brightness test, the only diffence for me was how birght image is ( everything )

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:46 AM

the overall effect is just brightness for the most part

you might notice some sharpness differences as well

right now both my monitor cant display 254 White ( i know 255 is the limit ) but i am unable to see 254 no matter how low or high the contrast/RGB or brightnass

there's a lot of minutae

i know for me on my 2 display i can feel ( see the diffence in response time
5ms vs 1ms GTG

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

that's not really 5ms vs 1ms

#

most panels advertised as 1ms aren't really that

#

also

lucid fog Dec 6, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

thats why some company talk about GTG or BtW response time

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

even on a 240hz monitor your time to change is 4.167ms

#

and

#

there's also input lag

#

not just the time it takes to change gtg

#

and monitors often need to use overdrive which causes a % overshoot

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:58 AM

frame times 😄

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

some fighter pilots can see differences in 500fps

i doubt you actually can

it's something else

#

the difference between 500fps and 900fps is 0.9ms

#

that is imperceptible to humans

lucid fog Dec 6, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

well on the game it tells me how much ( frame time ) or input lag
if i play on my GPU it goes to like 1-2ms but when i play on my IGPU the 0.7ms and it feels soo much better

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

frame time and input lag are different things

#

one is how long it takes for your computer to render a new frame

#

one is how long it takes your computer to process your input (and the peripherals), and then act accordingly

hey guys, i’m upgrading my pc which i got for free and have a budget of about 150 to 200 dollars. i’m mainly thinking of getting a gpu and some more ram. what parts should i pick out? i really don’t play much besides minecraft.
my pc specs
core i5 6500
4gb ddr4 2133
500 gb hard drive
300w psu w/ no pcie power

merry dew Dec 6, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

get a ssd for gods sake

#

USA, right?

#

just snatch a 1tb m.2 ssd and 8 gigs of ram

#

itll speed up your experience a lot

#

maybe a single 8 gig stick?

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

a 1050ti, SSD, and jumping to 16gb ram sounds doable on that budget

merry dew Dec 6, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

oh I forgot the us prices :D

#

if buying used is an option shouldnt he snatch a 1660?

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

you'd be going used

merry dew Dec 6, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

oh yeah

#

whats the prices for 1660 (used) on avg there?

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

also a 1660 needs a 1x8 pin pcie

#

his psu doesn't have that

merry dew Dec 6, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

oh yeah

#

good god that pc is antique

#

oh my lord time flies

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

anyways, you're looking at maybe $40-45 for 16gb 3200mhz ram, around $50 for a new nvme ssd assuming your mobo supports it, same price for sata anyways, and that leaves around $100 for the 1050ti

merry dew Dec 6, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

i remember being hyped for skylake XDD

crimson scroll Dec 6, 2020, 8:23 PM

civic apex hey guys, i’m upgrading my pc which i got for free and have a budget of about 15...

ayyyy yooo this is my pc just twice as good

#

cause my "pc" is a 4 year old computer, with some bruh moment stuff in there

#

Core: i5-6200U (With integrated graphics unit)
GPU: Radeon R7 M360 (Cries internally)
Ram 12gb ddr3 (Cant remember speed, but pretty slow)
Storage: 464 gb harddrive (Used to be 500gb, but the old one broke, and lost all my data)

#

Dunno how much power it sucks, but shit def runs like a furnace, I would probably be able to cook meat when I fire up Minecraft 1.8, graphics to lowest possible at 1080p, and I still only run 50 fps when it's cold, after which it warms up and drops to like 35-45. (FPS is pretty unstable, I've seen it go from 55, to 47, to 35, back up to 50)

#

That's why I am building a new pc

#

Am just waiting for all the parts I want / need to be in stock 😐

compared to 16gb 3000 for $120 a couple years ago when i first built

ssds are also tanking in price

processes are maturing and flash is cheap

crimson scroll Dec 9, 2020, 8:44 PM

well i would say from a financial standpoint, you should know how much you can spend first

rapid stream Dec 9, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

budget is literally the most important thing to know

crimson scroll Dec 9, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

but anywhere from 1 to 1.5k usd will get you a nice pc that can be upgraded fairly easily in the future

#

if you don't want to spend that much now since it's your first pc

rapid stream Dec 9, 2020, 8:44 PM

thats enough ^^

yeah, ok

i was around 1.6

rapid stream Dec 9, 2020, 8:45 PM

if you spend 1k+, you can also go for a better cpu

stock situation for gpus is... poor rn

solemn bolt Dec 9, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

true

crimson scroll Dec 9, 2020, 8:45 PM

graphics performance is more dependent on gpu so

rapid stream Dec 9, 2020, 8:45 PM

but id get a 3070 with that budget

crimson scroll Dec 9, 2020, 8:46 PM

generally the recommendation for those on a budget is to spend less on the cpu and more on the gpu

rapid stream Dec 9, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

but youre not with 1-1.5k

crimson scroll Dec 9, 2020, 8:46 PM

buy for your needs now and leave your options open

id go for a 3070 or one of the new amd gpus

crimson scroll Dec 9, 2020, 8:47 PM

i will note that zen 3 is the last set of cpus that are officially supported on the am4 chipset

#

so the upgradability part now is limited to same gen, exactly the same as intel

rapid stream Dec 9, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

since theyre not really in stock rn, you will have to wait a few weeks or months though, depending on your luck

#

but dont make the mistake of getting an old gpu, theire pretty much all overvalued rn

crimson scroll Dec 9, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

i agree

#

unless you go used

rapid stream Dec 9, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

even then, at least with your budget

crimson scroll Dec 9, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

a 2080s for around 500 isn't bad

#

and it would be right in line with the caliber of gpu you'd expect to get at that budget

rapid stream Dec 9, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

you could get a new 3060ti with better performance if it was in stock for 400
