The Upgrade.

[native plover]

I'm looking to upgrade my current GPU, the RTX 2060Super, but I'm not sure what to get as a decent upgrade, I have a budget of around 500-600 euros.

This is because its getting 99% on playing very resource intensive games and makes watching stuff on my 2nd monitor extremely annoying and laggy.

[still perch]

specs

[native plover]

Ryzen 9 5900x
32gb 3200mhz ddr4 memory
1x2tb HDD, 1x2tb SSD, 1x512gb SSD
RTX 2060S
corsair 650W psu

2x27'' monitor, 1 is 1080p, the other 1440p

[slender cloud]

Country?

[native plover]

netherlands

[misty kelp]

6800xt-7800xt

Maybe even a 7900xt

If you really want nvidia a 4070 ti is good

Oh wait I didn’t see budget

https://www.amazon.com/PNY-GeForce-Super-Overclocked-Graphics/dp/B0CS197RJM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?

Could get a 7900xt since they’re around €645

[native plover]

i prefer 12gb+ cards since my current one is 8gb and i dont like it

[misty kelp]

Why

[edgy pagoda]

What country u from

[misty kelp]

The vram isn’t what is limiting

[misty kelp]

Netherlands as he said before

[misty kelp]

Both my suggestions were 12+

[misty kelp]

Good suggestion

[edgy pagoda]

7900gre is the obvious pick here with 16gb of vram double your current

[misty kelp]

Yeah

but

We need to know the rest of the specs

To avoid wasting money in a bottleneck

[native plover]

@edgy pagoda

[edgy pagoda]

Yeah just get a 7900gre

Plenty of vram

[native plover]

1 sec

lemme get a pic

my game is starting so i can get a picture of the gpu usage

gpu usage

wouldnt let me crop image

[dense plaza]

u need more rams first of all

XD

[native plover]

its fine

the game i play always maxes out ram

even if you have 2tb it uses it all

its not optimized

[dense plaza]

still if u get a rtx 4060

there will be a bottleneck

so

u need rams

at least

[native plover]

64gb?

im using windows 11 home idk what the limit for ram is on that

[dense plaza]

no

i mean

the

gpu

vram

[native plover]

ok

[dense plaza]

the memory

u have

8gb

memory

[native plover]

yes thats the 2060s standard amount

[dense plaza]

yep this is why u need more for the modren games

btw

what

game do u play

?

[native plover]

Star Citizen

[dense plaza]

dont u play

anything

els

else

?

[native plover]

i play minecraft too

star citizen graphics settings

star citizen is like gta 6 level graphics

[dense plaza]

do u play any modren games like witcher or elden ring

or idk

[native plover]

star citizen is modern

[dense plaza]

but it dose not require a powerfull gpu

[native plover]

just look at these graphics and high quality texture

[dense plaza]

this is why im asking for games

do

u have

problems

with ur pc

?

fps drop

[native plover]

only gpu stuff

[dense plaza]

or somthing

?

[native plover]

not rlly

star citizen runs smoothly at 30 fps lol

[dense plaza]

then dont upgrade ur pc

its good

[native plover]

bro

im not talking about fps drops

[dense plaza]

ik

[native plover]

pls read the first message in this thread

[native plover]

.

[dense plaza]

im asking to know if there is any reason for upgrade

this is why im asking

[native plover]

"This is because its getting 99% on playing very resource intensive games and makes watching stuff on my 2nd monitor extremely annoying and laggy."

[dense plaza]

and it seems like u dont need an upgrade

[native plover]

whenever i game i watch movies or youtube on my 2nd monitor

when playing resource intensive games

[dense plaza]

it should always be like this

[native plover]

it buffers a lot

[dense plaza]

i recommend that u use the cpu gpu if u have a cpu with gpu

[native plover]

what?

bro why would i use integrated graphics??

[dense plaza]

becuse u make the main gpu for the games

[native plover]

you cant just pick and choose

[dense plaza]

and the cpu for the second moniter

[native plover]

you can only use 1 at one time

[dense plaza]

u can if u have intel

[native plover]

.

[dense plaza]

well i did it on my pc

[native plover]

integrated graphics isnt enough to watch a video at 1080p consistently

[dense plaza]

i already have 2 moniters

and i do use my second one for the cpu gpu

and it dose work

[native plover]

you must be using a bad monitor then

like 720p

[dense plaza]

but ur gpu should keep 99%

that is healthy

[native plover]

no dude

[dense plaza]

its

1080

[misty kelp]

Don’t send individual texts for each word

[dense plaza]

sorry

XD

[misty kelp]

Doesn’t matter, it depends on the game

Like for helldivers and the finals usually the cpu gets maxed bc those are cpu intensive games

[dense plaza]

well yes but it is healthy

and at least it needs to be more than the cpu usage

dota 2

uses more cpu than gpu

[native plover]

but i dont think 83 degrees celsius is good for my gpu

[dense plaza]

no

[misty kelp]

No

[dense plaza]

its not good

at all

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[misty kelp]

It’s probably really bad it cooling itself

[dense plaza]

u need thermal paste man

[misty kelp]

Small heatsink bad fans

[dense plaza]

and a good one

[native plover]

no

for some reason only 1 fan spins at all times

i think it might be broken

[dense plaza]

this is ur problem

[native plover]

gigabyte card

[misty kelp]

New gpu anyways

[dense plaza]

get a 3060

good

[misty kelp]

Gigabyte makes good cards, but not known for cooling performance

[dense plaza]

for u

[misty kelp]

Dude

It depends

We need to know full specs

And

A better one will last longer

[native plover]

man i dont know

[misty kelp]

Go to the cpu tab in task manager and show us

[dense plaza]

he only plays 2 games

[misty kelp]

Still

[dense plaza]

no why pay more

if he is not going to use

it

[misty kelp]

The 3060 won’t last as long as a 7900gre and if you get into a game that is more demanding it will be worth it

In the long term the 7900gre is better in every category

[misty kelp]

That’s a good cpu

A 7900gre will work great

[dense plaza]

well how did u come with this answer

[misty kelp]

Even a 7900xtx will be good

[dense plaza]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[misty kelp]

Wdym

The 7900gre is better

[native plover]

i know

[dense plaza]

and ur talking about if he plays i asked him already what he plays so i can know for what games is he going to play

[misty kelp]

Nobody sticks with the same 2 games for years

Your gonna play some other g games

[dense plaza]

but he can go for ur gpu i mean but i dont recomend amd bad drivers

[misty kelp]

And if you do, a 7900gre will suit you better in the long term

[misty kelp]

What

What bad drivers

[dense plaza]

i did dota 2 for 16 year

[misty kelp]

Neat

[dense plaza]

but its alright

[misty kelp]

If you want nvidia a 4070 super is good

[dense plaza]

but i disagree with u

[misty kelp]

It’s a personal opinion

[dense plaza]

for 2k this card

[dense plaza]

yep

i already have an old amd

i cant find

drivers

for it

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[misty kelp]

And there is nothing wrong with amd

Are you 3?

Your acting like it and are struggling to complete sentences

I doubt you know anything about what your talking about

[native plover]

hey lets not fight in my thread

[dense plaza]

no drivers

i just told u

😂😂😂

[misty kelp]

My apologies

[native plover]

@dense plaza stop it

[misty kelp]

If it’s an old card ofc it’s not gonna have drivers

[dense plaza]

well i have an card older than the amd i have and there is still drivers

[misty kelp]

What model is it

[dense plaza]

amd trash company sorry

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[dense plaza]

amd

or

nvidia

?

[misty kelp]

Bruh

That’s the company

What’s the model number

[dense plaza]

for what card

man

i have 2

nvidia

and

amd

[misty kelp]

The one you said had no drivers

The amd one

[native plover]

they make good CPU's

[misty kelp]

They make good everything

[dense plaza]

i agree with this point

[misty kelp]

That’s is a very old card

[dense plaza]

but bad gpus

[dense plaza]

i have

older

card

[misty kelp]

Well when they are new

[dense plaza]

for nvidia

[native plover]

R9

[dense plaza]

gtx 680 super

yeah

[native plover]

Star citizen had a promo for anyone who bought r9 in 2014

[dense plaza]

i can still go to nvidia website

[misty kelp]

But that’s not amd is it

[dense plaza]

and find drivers

so u can say amd trash gpus

yeah

?

[dense plaza]

its nvida

and its older

[misty kelp]

I know

[dense plaza]

than the amd i own

[misty kelp]

No

[dense plaza]

can u read

XD

[misty kelp]

What is your logic

[dense plaza]

there is no world that can describe u man im saying that i have 2 old gpu one from amd and one from nvidia and both are old and i cant find the amd drivers but i can find nvidia

[misty kelp]

You can’t say amd is a bad company because of some problem only you have

[dense plaza]

so amd bad for long term

XD

0 procees this is why u cant build a pc

[misty kelp]

No seriously you lack common sense

[dense plaza]

u dont understand words man

XD

[misty kelp]

It’s not bad for the long term now

When amd was starting out ofc they were struggling

Look at Intels arc a770

It was awful at the start

[dense plaza]

baby

[misty kelp]

It’s improved drastically

[dense plaza]

just for ur info

[misty kelp]

?

[dense plaza]

nvidia have 0 competion this is why nvida prices are high right now becuse no company have good gpus

[misty kelp]

7900xtx vs 4080 super

[dense plaza]

yes its improved but that dose not mean that it is good

[misty kelp]

They are around the same price

[native plover]

Ok so now what gpu should i upgrade my 2060s to

I need to know

[dense plaza]

3060

or get 4060

[misty kelp]

Whatever you want, can be nvidia or amd, but a 7900gre is what I recommend

[dense plaza]

becuse the 50 series coming in 2025

[native plover]

I mostly play star citizen but im not sure how fleshed out AMD support is

I also sometimes play MSFS in VR

[misty kelp]

Do some research

Star citizen isn’t the easiest to run

And 3060 would struggle

[misty kelp]

I have a friend using a 7900xt in msfs

It’s good, but that is a hard game to run too

A 3060 is bad in every scenario

It’s rare when amd has bad optimization in a game

<@&750150305383186585> rule 2 and 4 on @dense plaza

[modest trellis]

Okay what is going on here

[modest trellis]

lol that’s exactly what I had

In msfs I went from 15 fps avg on a 3060 to 90 fps avg on a 7900xt which is considered very high

[modest trellis]

It is I know many people who play sc on amd cards

[modest trellis]

Soooo we’re a nvidea fanboy

[modest trellis]

You can’t be serious

[modest trellis]

I have friends who play sc on rdna4

They say it’s great

[native plover]

I already kinda assumed they were a troll

So i should get 7900xt or gre right?

[modest trellis]

Yeah either of those 2 depending on budget

[native plover]

Kk

[misty kelp]

GRE if 600 or less

[modest trellis]

👆

[native plover]

Tysm

Ill get the gre

[bitter wharf]

i dont think a 4060 will bottleneck a 5900x and even if it did, i highly doubt its gonna be a noticeable bottleneck if your not looking out for one

[bitter wharf]

cough r9 390 driver days cough

[scenic kindle]

A 4060 still shit pick do

[woven heart]

@dense plaza brother wtf are you yepping about?

[bitter wharf]

also ik its still shit i was just saying i doubt it would bottleneck a 5900x

[scenic kindle]

Oh haha no 5900x should be fine with p much all modern gpus

Even a 4090 shud be allg

[native plover]

so 5900x + 7900gre is fine?
