Dlss vs fidelity fx what do you guys think

static pecan Jan 4, 2021, 2:36 AM

#

Well considering we know absolutely nothing about FidelityFX and the release date has not been announced either, that's a pretty stupid question

#

Hopefully it'll be released in the next few months when all the stock issues begin getting resolved, but until then we have no idea about what the image quality will be like, how much it will improve performance, how many games will actually and effectively support it, or anything else

bold drum Jan 4, 2021, 3:09 AM

#

Oh I thought it was out already cuz on the and website it had games that supported it I didn’t play any of the games on that list so I wasn’t sure and I couldn’t find anything regarding release date so that’s why I was wondering

the 4 pin connects to a sys_fan connector

What about the 3pin?

chilly gulch Jan 5, 2021, 6:30 PM

im looking at your mobo mannual and Im seeing a usb 2.0 hub connector

maybe that explains why it says gigabyte cable because I dont think that connector is there normally

I'm stumped with that 3 pin then
Cause it says I need it for gigabyte boards but idk where it connects to

@prime thicket there is another D LED port on the top right side of the board next to the RAM closer to CPU_FAN connector. If you already have something plugged into the CPU header, that cable on the hub should be long enough to reach the SYS_FAN1 port on the top left side

prime thicket Jan 5, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

yeah I've now gotta figure out where my AIO cables are gonna plug into and hope it doesn't interfere

static pecan Jan 5, 2021, 7:32 PM

#

Did your AIO come with an adapter cable to plug all the fans into one header? If so then that should go into CPU_FAN and there should be another cable for the pump that goes into CPU_OPT

prime thicket Jan 5, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

I'm not sure tbh, I must admit I've not looked at those cables yet, it is an NZXT Z series though

devout wolf Jan 5, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

z series does come with a splitter

static pecan Jan 5, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

In that case you'll be able to do what I said and connect the AIO fans to the CPU header

prime thicket Jan 5, 2021, 7:35 PM

#

I'm not using the NZXT fans, the fans on the AIO are going into one of the fan controllers previously mentioned

#

I hope that's fine?

static pecan Jan 5, 2021, 7:43 PM

#

Yeah it'll be fine, when you get the PC posted and go into the BIOS just set the SYS_FAN1 header to read CPU Temp so it'll regulate how fast all the fans in the case spin based on how hot the CPU is since you won't have anything plugged into the CPU specific header

prime thicket Jan 5, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

alright perfect

#

means 2 of the intake fans will ramp up too but that's fine

#

do you know where the actual pump and the screen cables connect to?

static pecan Jan 5, 2021, 7:45 PM

#

CPU_OPT

#

Top of the board, the black header next to the gray one

prime thicket Jan 5, 2021, 7:45 PM

#

and the screen?

static pecan Jan 5, 2021, 7:46 PM

#

Not sure on that one, you'l have to check the manual unless someone else knows the answer

prime thicket Jan 5, 2021, 7:46 PM

#

I'll have to google it, unless I'm blind the AIO came with no manual for some reason

static pecan Jan 5, 2021, 7:47 PM

#

Uh yeah you might be blind lol or else it has a QR code or something you're supposed to scan or a website address you're supposed to go to to pull up a virtual manual

#

I've never worked with NZXT AIOs before so idk

if you’re only going to be gaming, consider the i7-10700

also get the revolution df 850w for the same price or a cheaper 750w unit

and I’d personally get a 1440p 144hz display over a 1080p 240hz, especially since the difference between 144hz and 240hz is pretty less to our eyes and the pixel density of 27” 1080p can be pretty bad to some people

If you're asking why the memory and storage isn't filled out, my friend was going to give me some bc he has like 300 ram sticks (no flex) and some ssds that he doesn't want to use.

If you can actually get a 5600X and a 3070 for MSRP then it's fine. I would say probably bump the PSU up to a 650W though

chilly gulch Jan 7, 2021, 3:17 AM

I don't think you could power a whole pc with that

gilded frost Jan 7, 2021, 3:18 AM

jade rapids Jan 7, 2021, 3:18 AM

They wont get enough power to blow up lmao

jade rapids Jan 7, 2021, 3:20 AM

Well the router would be the first to go, I suppose. Emitting intense electromagnetic radiation above the specced levels will do that.

chilly gulch Jan 7, 2021, 3:20 AM

well yes, but i was talking more about the pc components

jade rapids Jan 7, 2021, 3:21 AM

Ah. I meant in general

#

anyways, jokes aside. I suppose you could just try and get white power cables so they blend

gilded frost Jan 7, 2021, 3:21 AM

Well there is wireless gpu's

#

Atleast power wise, you're still going to need a cable

chilly gulch Jan 7, 2021, 3:23 AM

there is a black version of the case and yeah, white components and cables will work

jade rapids Jan 7, 2021, 3:24 AM

#

If you wanted to do it painstakingly slowly, you could also run cables through hardline tubing by removing the connectors at the ends and pushing them through, then putting the connectors back on.

On second thought , If you get cable mods, that could look very nice

tacit thicket Jan 7, 2021, 3:46 AM

just don't

#

No real reason

jade rapids Jan 7, 2021, 3:46 AM

#

If the RGB works without software, you just power it to turn it on, then it shouldn't really be an issue

#

Personally I'd be a teeny bit worried about the MoBo floating in an error state, but it ought to be designed such that that won't cause issues

i mostly play like cod and stuff

also if you're mostly gaming and photoshop is a side thing, the 5600x blows the 3700x out of the water

so will it make a difference then

Nothing is cheap right now.

A 16GB 2x8 kit of G Skill Ripjaws 3200mhz CL16 is currently $80 when several months ago it could be found for $60.

Last gen CPUs are still selling for MSRP or even above in some instances

There was a PSU shortage for just about all of 2020

Last Gen GPUs are selling for hundreds of dollars or greater above MSRP on the used market and prices of new GPUs are only going to climb higher and higher because of new tariffs and regulations

So, in the US, buying PC parts sucks in almost every way currently and is not going to get better anytime soon.

the 8320 would bottleneck the 1050ti a bit

dense turret Jan 9, 2021, 4:36 AM

#

should it be bad enough to create stutters? I get alot of it in gta 5, though that may be because its a cpu intensive game

#

weirdly turning down settings create more stuttering

static pecan Jan 9, 2021, 4:41 AM

#

It's mainly the CPU then. Turning up graphics settings puts more of a load on the GPU so if your CPU is the bottleneck it would make sense to be worse at lower resolutions where the CPU is utilized more

dense turret Jan 9, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

yeah, when i set the settings to default it goes to very high-high settings, but still stutters, im thinking of upgrading soon, maybe an i5 10400f or 3600

#

there are barely any stutters in witcher 3 which is more gpu intensive so not suprised

static pecan Jan 9, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

If you're planning to upgrade within the next few months I'd recommend the 10400F as it's currently cheaper than the 3600, which is currently selling for MSRP or above (at least on Newegg US). The i5 will have a bit more raw gaming horsepower than the 3600, but if you want to get into any kind of streaming or video editing type stuff then I'd hold out for the 3600 and its better multi core performance

crimson scroll Jan 9, 2021, 5:41 AM

what's the budget

noble oak Jan 9, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

okay so there are almost no computer components for sale rightnow overhere or they are way overpriced, and the hyperx quadcast S is now for sale for only 135 euro's instead of 170. So should I go for the mic upgrade and wait a little longer for the pc and take the risk that the components aren't going back for sale or should I sit on my money and upgrade when I have my pc but then it will be 35 euro's more expensive :P

merry dew Jan 9, 2021, 11:27 AM

imo the quadcast s isnt worth the extra over the regular quadcast. so I suggest getting a normal quad, if its on sale.
