Boot from the none UEFI one
Just to clarify this is after enabling Legacy Boot
When you boot off the device test the live version of Ubuntu
If it works you're good to go with the installation
when you say live version, what do you mean?
Nearly every Linux ISO comes with a Live Version you can run straight from the USB or Disc
ah
I know Ubuntu specifically does
and once I get the live version up and running, I can partition the rest of my drives to it as well?
once I install it
When you run the Live Version and you know that its working fine, reboot off the USB again and choose the Install option
The Live Boot is just to make sure your device is working properly and that you're good to install
No problem
Do I still go into UEFI settings to boot using legacy mode?
Or do I need to go to my bios directly and change boot order @hard crag
@solemn orchid Hmm, you should be able to do it from BIOS.
In your bios there should be a setting to allow Legacy Mode Booting
You dont need to use the Windows settings
no problems dude
Ah fuck me are you serious
It stopped outputting immediately after that
@hard crag HELP lol
lol give it a second. You are running a USB version
it needs time to gather drivers for your hardware
lol it takes time dude. You are running it from Legacy Boot right ?
I am
Then yeah just let it gather the drivers for your hardware
May be a while lmao, I got a lot of hardware connected
nah shouldnt take more that 2mins
Thanks for the help, seriously, I appreciate it
its cool man
I've been at this for hours
I would recommend learning about Linux though before you start playing with it
and btw make sure to install the Grub Bootloader on the Partition with your Linux Distro
I have ubuntu on my laptop, I'm familiar with the OS, it's just that the installation process was pretty much instant before
yeah i get ya
Yeah I still got nothin here
hmm.. this may be weird but try typing or moving the mouse. Sometimes it will go into powersave mode early
if that didnt work im not sure what it could be
Did you have 2 boot methods for the USB when you were in the boot menu ?
Nah, it only showed up in legacy
I mean in the Legacy Boot Menu, did say UEFI: USB Device and USB Device or just 1 USB Device ?
I'm trying with solus now, seeing if I can get anywhere
And I'll try one of my front 3.0 headers instead of through a hub
That could be a issue.
Agreed
@hard crag I'm installing PopOS, a version of Ubuntu since it better suits my needs than solus
now that I have legacy boot, everything seems in working order
I mean honestly I would just install Debian and then install the tools I need
Debian has better support than most
thanks man, I really appreciate the help, I wouldn't have thought to enable it without your help 😄
hm, I'll look into debian
I already have the debian ISO, but I had issues installing it earlier
I'll give it another go and see how I like it now that I have legacy boot and it should be working alright
also, I found etcher
and I love it way more than rufus
the interface is much cleaner and it's super quick and simple
plus it's permanently free
@solemn orchid Etcher is the best way to make Bootable USB
Yeye, I can see that
Its way more reliable and more lightweight than anything else
lmao why ?
etcher somehow made it so that the drive was no longer readable at all
uefi or otherwise
I had to go in and delete the partition it made to have it be readable again
Did you format the USB before you burned the ISO ?
well now I feel retarded but doesn't it do that in the flashing process?
Its just safer to do so
alright
Welp, same problem. Just to recap: tried to replace stock cpu cooler with new one, did so rather uncarefully, now nothing turns on except my keyboard lights
Should i take it apart and rebuild it?
Found this 12v input 416 cord
Any idea where it goes?
Or if its important?
Hm
HM
Mine has piss poor cable management
Mine has piss poor everything
Piss poor uhhh
even the case is like, a second hand used dell shite
Hm
Still can run space engineers
and gta v on medium i guess
So it's not too bad?
Specs are basically AMD A8-7600, GTX 970
Oh that's not bad
Motherboard is second-hand used and 8gb
It's old, and can use an upgrade.
Would really like a Velka-case
Is that an AM4 bristol ridge chip?
Oh no its FM2 
@rancid kindle Looking it up that's for powering the RGB strip and fan controller
Its a Phanteks case right?
Cause the p400 comes with an led strip
Yeah
Im just gonna
Take it to the shop
My fried works there so he can get me a discount
Friend*. I don't want to mess anything else up
I'm sorry you ran into complications
I kinda made the suggestion to upgrade the cooling, so uh yeah 
As i should've
Nah dw, maybe i can get them to put in the new cooler while they fix it
Can anyone suggest me a 6pin VCARD pairing with a8-7600k
What are you using now, or are you just using the on board graphics?
Ey so i bought this thermaltake PWM fan hub and its telling me to connect the main PWM fan first but how do i know which is my main one?
probably the biggest one or the first one in the row
I have 6 120fans tho
Main PWM fan? It only reads from one, or it only gives one signal to all fans?
Or both
I'll read the manual for it when I get home to see.
I remember a lot of fan hubs being fucky.
At least from known brands.
But buying fan hubs from those who sell their own small boards paid off.
main PWM fan connector is the cable that runs from the hub to the MOBO if I'm not mistaken
fans plug into the other side of the hub
or not. hmmm
ah, the glossy port is essentially just the lead fan that all other fans follow the settings of
so if all the fans are the same, it doesn't matter which is your "lead" fan
my guess is that hub doesn't allow for individual settings amongst fans connected to it
tooks this
and these and swaped speak bodies and connected both and turned up the bass
I dunno. I prefer if I am to have PWM for it to actually matter. Now I have 3 pin, and I can control the fans in groups. Apart from one.
But that fan I need another solution for.
Doesn't make it easier that it pulls 1.3A
Yeah it only pulls RPM from the Glossy connector.
Apart from being only PWM, when I looked at controllers, this was way too common.
It's practically a mining hub, not a fan hub.
last clip good ear rape
yea sorry to many vids sorry i dont have nitro
please dont post trash like this its not the place
That doesnt sound good
Quick question guys. Can a Ryzen 7 2700x be mounted on a 32-Bit Motherboard? All I know is that the Base Board Product is 2AF7
I don't think so but that's with like 2 minutes of googling
I didn't know there was a distinction with motherboards like that tbh 
@abstract kite Whats the motherboard chipset
But the cpu was released in 2018 why would you want to limit yourself to x32
^
Searching "2AF7" brings up an HP OEM board; but its an intel board H87 so...
Uh I mean I dunno if that's accurate
Nevermind I figured out tha
I cannot use a AMD Chip in a Intel mainboard that is 6 generations old.
Yeah different pin count and speeds
Let alone PGA vs LGA
If you are wondering the Mainboard is a 2AF7 by Hewlett Packard
So I am just gonna get a B450 Tomahawk motherboard.
@abstract kite Intel and AMD are 🙅
Make sure it's compatible
What are you doing exactly?
With a Ryzen 7 3700x
I am making another build.
Well for someone else.
Tomahawk is the bread and butter b450
That is pretty much the go-to b450, Gaming Pro Carbon if you want some extra bling 
Tomahawk is getting an X570 variant
They didn't make a max variant of that
I’m curious to see how it performs as a X570
Yeah I think next month
Wonder if it’s going to take the place as my budget recommended X570 board over the ASUS TUF
It'll be a solid 230+ board or something. They never said how much it would be just that it would be over 200
Another question...
Should be better than the Gaming Pro Carbon X570
So I am looking as the 2070 Supers and I see some that are worth less than others, are they worth it?
Eh it depends
Is there any bad differences?
Just get a 1080ti and call it a day
1080 Titan?
Uh what? 
For $19,000?
Why did you search Titan?
1080 TI was the flagship last generation video card from Nvidia, technically it was a higher clocked cut down Titan Xp
@abstract kite Brands I would look at for a 2070 Super are EVGA, ASUS, and MSI
You cant really go wrong with any of those
The 2070 Super is about on par in rasterization performance
Only different in marketing tbh 
^
@abstract kite that's a GPU accelerator its built for a different task
mostly workstation or large calculation type stuff. if you tried to game on it probably would be like a 710
Just noticed that the RTX 4000 is about the same price as a 2070 but its got lower clock speeds. Kinda neat but really only for workstations
@abstract kite For Maya and Blender a 2070 would suffice
It produces 8-bit color iirc
If thats what its called
I’m not super deep into the details of GPUs
I’m a motherboard/CPU guy lol
But are you Buildzoid level?
the Tesla products target the high-performance computing market. As of 2012, Nvidia Teslas power some of the world's fastest supercomputers,
@vapid crypt I am a buildzoid shill 😛
Let me just build a super computer real quick 
lol for the price of a RTX 4000 might as well get a 2080
Well yeah you wouldn't get it for games 
RTX 4000 can produce higher 10-bit color to my knowledge. 2080 still only produces 8-bit
So for solely a workstation it makes sense
for a workstation + gaming as well, RTX 2070/2080
I think Nvidia needs to work on there acronym's tbh
AMD does too lol
you can still do 10 bit on any video card your monitor just needs to support it
They've gotten better since the mid 2010s where they segmented everything using R3 R5 R7 and R9 it just got confusing with the videocards
I think Nvidia needs to drop their fucking prices
like for example this monitor supports 10 bit or (8 Bit Plus FRC) which mimics it
@mild tangle Yes and no.
NVIDIA does it like this:
All their reasonably-recent hardware support 10bit for full screen gaming.
However, when running productivity applications like Photoshop or Premiere, drivers disallow 10bit output unless you are running a Quadro card. This is purely a "software lockout".
So, you have to get a Quadro. Not sure if the option mentioned works, but in theory it might - with Quadro card present (even a really bad one) with relevant drivers and monitor attached to the Quadro card, the "software lockout" should not be a factor. You should in theory still be able to render using the GeForce also present in the system.
- from a previous discussion I had about this somewhere else
Damn boi
@abstract kite The EVGA XC Ultra is a good cooler
So the performance of the higher priced card is only gonna be so much better. The FTW3 Ultra+ is EVGA's high end air cooler, like it'll boost a bit higher and allow better OC; but it likely isn't worth the premium
that's fair but i mean just to have 10 bit color for everything but certain software. unless your in the industry and need those extra colors to see a better spectrum along with having the monitor with the color accuracy to even see those 1.07 billions colors lol
Thats true
So in @abstract kite’s scenario, I would just get a 2070 Super
Imho
Not a Super?
Its a 2080 ~5%
That one, it has a 20 dollar promo as well
Oh shit
I just realized that one is triple slot 
Bigass heatsink
Sure, i mean in terms of space
i have the card its big as shit
so how would you think a 2080 ti fare in this game?>
No idea, as I do not own one 
mine doesnt like this game
What do you mean?
fps drops and other things, focken 70 fps kekw
In what, 4k?
ryzen 7 3800x
Its not 70 constantly right, That's like your 1% low
no its 70 fps most of the time
Yeah that's weird, cause that's about my framerate using an Rx 580
i just thought it was weird this game just doesnt like my pc
Have you updated drivers?
oh- im sorry! my phone auto corrected to 2080 ti, lmfao i have a 2080 super.
I mean... close enough 
basically
Its like what... 10% 15% slower
Still should be running better than that
I think there might be a bug where some systems perform better in Exclusive Fullscreen
I remember them saying it was patched, but who knows
@abstract kite If you want a two slot card, this is a good one too https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-2070-super-rtx-2070-super-gaming-x/p/N82E16814137445
i ran out of money so im stuck with 1080p monitors lol, until my next birthday!
kekw
What did you upgrade from?
1060 6gb, ryzen 5 1400
i had the ryzen 5 1400 powering the 2080 super for awhile was not a good experience lmfao
Uh oh... uh
Yeah that's not really the smartest thing 
Min maxing doesn
Doesn't usually work in pcs
i chose to upgrade graphics card first
near xmas was when i got it
then on the day after i got the cpu
the new one
Tbh, the cpu would have been better to upgrade since you're still running 1080p
1060 does fine at that resolution
Also I forgot to ask if V-sync is enabled in your game
Try playing with the fullscreen settings, cause like I said there was mention of a bug that for some reason causes Exclusivefullscreen to perform better
I want to get a 4k monitor
People seem to want to want that, and I myself don't fully get it.
I’m running a Gtx 1070 8gigs OC to 2000mhz with and a i7 3930k cpu at 4.3ghz and I get 120 frames at 2k with a refresh rate of 120, I’m on all high with ssao on and anti on max. I have no issues running this game with my set up
will i get 60fps on lowest settings with i5 4770k, GTX 770 (2gb vram) and 8 gb of ram? i can run it even on console peasant resolution
Im about to buy the game, but if my config won't run it, then there's no point
@BearzOhMy Sorry for late response lol. The 1st edition Enermax coolers were known for build up issues. The second edition (with RGB) had improvements to prevent that!
@trail lagoon you’re gpu seems like it might struggle. On low you should be okay. Even if you get like 40 to 60 FPS you’ll be okay
well, i can go down with the resolution, just to get those sweet 60 fps
Yeah the gpu would be the struggling a bit most likely
Wouldn’t be able to guarantee a solid 60 there with a straight face
but i know it's EA, so the optimization isn't the 1st priority i guess
That card is getting a bit old as well thou 😅
Now a days you can get a 1070 or 1060 for cheap
But yeah, that’s for sure a thing, being ea etc
there's no point in upgrading my PC as it is rn
to change CPU i'd have to change MOBO as well
True, all ways good to start when you have the money to. Always buy you’re needs first tho so
if i'd change only the GPU then CPU will be bottlenecking
Life of a pc user 😅
It’s a ruff one man, gotta keep the wife happy
i've already got a case, haha
bought it at the end of the year, thought about getting cpu, but i was feeling that smth might change
and then AMD released threadripper 3rd gen
so case was the safest bet i guess
along with PSU maybe
apparently the 3000 series are gonna be cheaper than the rtx 2000 series somehow, I hope that rumor is true, I really want to get a beefy gpu for my VR dev dreams 
I would probably get a newer gpu as the first thing in your case, cpu should hold up fairly well still ?
The new ryzens are nice thou
game runs fine here on a Ryzen 3700X and a 1060 3GB
Building some builds with them at the office soon
The only thing I'm going to change with my 3700X is the cooler
stock is nice but god I hate the noise
Ah yeah, can’t stand stock fans
gonna go with a dark rock pro 4 probs
3000 series?
I’m a noctua guy, hehe
The next line of nvidia gpus
apparently called the RTX 3000 Series
So I guess we'll be getting the same deal as the 2000s, probs a 3060, 3070, 3080 and Ti etc
Most likely
But is it consumer grade?
Yeeeee
if a rumor is true, the 3070/3080Ti will be cheaper than the 2070/2080Ti
I wanna believe that buuuuut I doubt it
Will be interesting to see if amd can release their higher end gpu and press those prices down a bit
What
AMD's gonna release new GPUs too but I don't think I'll go with them, the driver issues are scaring me off
I hope the 3000s release will lower the 2000s prices a bit
along with AMD's release to accentuate that
So I’m gonna have to do some research
I’m gonna assume for now that 3000 isn’t as good as rtx? If it’s cheaper
and also you know the current GPU prices are pretty damn expensive, I hope it doesn't become the trend
we can hope hehe
They probably won’t dare charrging so much since amd also is rumored to have new GPU in the higher end out
Will be interesting thou
Well if I just hope one of them gets cheaper, would like to get rid of my 1070
I mostly wanna see VR performance since it's why I'm gonna get a new GPU
and driver stability
amd 1080Ti competitor 2020😄
Lol
vega64 has aged well. I remember at release reviews it was slower than 1080, now its faster
Lmao
What engine is gtfo? If I can ask
^ correct
I’m gonna attempt to do c1 solo. Thanks for the amazing game btw. Good luck on future pc building.
Thanks! and good luck, you’re going to need it!
should upcoming RTX 3080 be able to run GTFO on 240 fps XD max settings?
9900K and 2080 Ti man play GTFO, got bad frames but didn’t list resolution. That damned person
hmm
xD
Probably was 4K
you suspect 240 fps
That should be what it hits. But GTFO isn’t too much like R6S or CSGO imo
It may be optimized, but still needs more work for Nvidia cards
what are the recommended specs for getting 144fps at 1440pee
PEEPEE
Uhh
Kind of overkill. GTFO still wouldn’t be very optimized, but a 5700XT/2070 Super are great cards for 1440p 144hz
thanks cheers bro
:3 still going for that overkill
You're going to need a high powered PeeC
ATM the optimization isn't perfect, people with 1080TI are typically getting just above 100fps at 1440, though it seems to vary
AMD is more optimized for it I believe
Someone earlier said they were getting 120 with a 1070 at that resolution
So eh it varies
Oh, that’s not bad
Yeah he said it was 2k, uh hmm 
He said his core clock was at 2000mhz
Quite high
I’d honestly go 2080 Super over 2080 ti for gaming
2080 Super has higher default clock speed
I’m running a Gtx 1070 8gigs OC to 2000mhz with and a i7 3930k cpu at 4.3ghz and I get 120 frames at 2k with a refresh rate of 120, I’m on all high with ssao on and anti on max. I have no issues running this game with my set up
That's what the dude said
3930k though, that's uh... Sandybridge X what is that?
Super is another long time
Super overclocking lol
Well its 1440p, so the cpu isn't as... you know what I think this game is just weird
Someone earlier said their 2080 Super was running at like 70fps, that's with a 3800x at 1080p
Has to do with the cull settings I think
Or the new tech just ain’t doing it lol
ok so i should just go for RTX 3080 + 9900k @fleet canopy
There's a dozen reasons
Optimization is a much needed thing
is 3080ti going to be released along side regular 30xx?
And yeah
We don't know
^
Uh yeah but not at the same time
And I want to they started that in Kepler
Like typically the 80 card was their flagship
As they developed faster architectures they started up selling
By making a "Titan"
Titan
Then cutting that down to a 80ti
i mean im just asking in general so i can see if i can get it for fairly cheap over my boss
Are Tee Axe Titan
❤️
So like with Pascal their first line up was two gpus, the 1070 and 1080. The MSRP was 379 and 699 respectively; like 8 months later I think in a response to Vega hype they released the 1080ti at 699 and made the 1080 499
I can get 1080p 144 Hz easy with a r7 2700x and RX 5700xt 
Oof
That’s what it seems
This is interesting, we need a benchmark on everything to find out where the performance stands
Yeah, a variety of CPUs and GPUs
And the new pricing with Nvidia for the most part was in response to the inflated mining prices of 2017/2018
They loved getting 900/1000+ per 1080ti and all that
So they figured it would work, and its a shame that it kinda has
1070, 2070 Super, then 580, 5700XT
Along with like the 9900K and 9400F, and the 2600 with 3900X
Maybe I'll contact Techspot to include it in their benchmarks 
May also need different RAM speeds unless it’ll be good enough with just 3200Mhz
Paul has benched 30+ games with various hardware, what's another one to add to the list... though tbh it doesn't really work cause this is a DX11 Unity game
Not quite what you would see for a AAA release
Hm, isn’t the newer DX12 more optimized for good builds? I do know it’s more demanding on performance, but it could be what makes the performance kind of shit
Uh sort of, DX12 and Vulkan is slowly edging out DX11. But both versions of Direct X are very much still used
I've mostly noticed DX9 games performing less than stellar actually
Also Open GL performs comparatively pretty poorly on AMD, not a big deal cause you typically see that in few games or stuff like Emulators. I heard they've improved it slightly with the new cards though 
I mean it's openGL 
Yeah OpenGL is old, and it sucks. And I wonder why there are brand new games that has come out in the past 6 years or so that use it
Like the recent Wolfenstein games, I think they added Vulkan support later on; but still. Even Doom 2016 launches with OpenGL
Its a weird contrast when your game is using OpenGL and Vulkan 
If Nvidia legitimately releases a 2080 ti super in this quarter, I will eat my hat.
Yeah and they're within 2% of eachother 
Lol
But that's not my reasoning
We have a AMD 2080ti equivelant on the way so nothing is impossible
Its cause its soooo close to Ampere, it just doesn't make sense to me
Nothing is set in stone yet so we dont know exactly how close we are now
And I can't see them getting more than 10% more performance out of a theoretical 2080ti Super
Not unless they want to let go of that arbitrary TDP of 250W they have a death grip on
It wouldnt make much sense for the consumer to buy a card like that tho before the 30 series launch
No
Watch it burn like Intel's 350 W HEDT processor 
Tbh 350w gpu is no big deal, 350w processor ain't right though 
That is a lot of power pins though
8+4 or 8+8 would be needed yea?
Oh no my mistake
A single 8 pin EPS connector is rated at 350w
I was talking about for a GPU
Oh haha okay
Its 75W from PCIe, 150W from an 8 pin right?
I think so yea
Idk about the power draw from the motherboard. I need to look that up and learn
Its 75W from the Pcie slot
Ahh okay
linux?
Isn’t heat also electricity?
Cursed image
I didn't expect to go crawling back to windows so soon, but the performance loss in unsupported applications is too great to make it worth the switch for now
Kek
anyone have room for a new player. just got the game?
?t off
Sorry, unable to find a tag named off.

a bit late but i'm considering rocking a 3800X over a 3900X
videditing and streaming are very far off in my future, would probably just be better to get a ryzen 4000 or beyond for when i move onto that
Uh sure, you could get a better GPU at that point then
probably gonna put that dosh towards a Vive
Its on sale on Amazon right now actually, pretty much almost no more than like 10 bucks over the 3700x
yeah i saw, that's why i was considering the downgrade
3900X is definitely overkill for my gaming needs and my multi-core operations aren't a thing rn
The game performance would be close enough pretty much, and 8 cores is good for most things
yeah
upgrading my GPU also wouldn't really be that helpful
the only actually worth upgrade would be to a 2080Ti
Fair enough 
Well then last I checked you could do with better storage then 
Well arguably, its nice having a decent amount of space on an SSD you know
yeah but well
vive
the build is called "VR [x]th draft" for a reason
getting a better SSD is definitely a priority but just using that as a boot drive will work for now
also, thoughts on this monitor https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Dc97YJ/viotek-gft27db-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-gft27db
Looks alright, though I haven't really heard of Viotek outside of seeing their brand in passing
I can only vouch for the quality of the monitors I have 
👉 👉
come to think of it
nvidia 3000 is soon
i could probably pick up a 2060/S for the time being until that drops
Eh, seems rather wasteful
fair, suggestions?
Well we don't know where the prices will land, and where the performance will line up. We can only guess
not for the 3000 line
for what GPU i should get
future proofing is hitting me hard now that a Q3 release date for nvidia 3000/ryzen 4000 is almost solid
I dunno, what are you thinking just get a GPU now; sell it for half later in the year or something?
Well, maybe not half but you know
@dusty pumice the $1000 is now just being put towards the PC in general
@vapid crypt i dont know anyone who would want or have the cash to get a GPU from me
I dunno, like you get a GPU now, and would there be a good reason to upgrade later in the year that's the question
I would wait for Nvidia 30 series but thats me
thats the thing ^
Like if you got a 2070 super right now, do you see yourself being unhappy with that purchase in 8 months if it turns out the 3070 is pretty damn close to 2080ti performance
i want my PC asap but i also see the fat new releases coming soon™
But you have no GPU right now you can use as a placeholder
so yeah, 2070 super can begone for now
What games do you play right now glass on the daily basis?
right now i play nothing really graphically intensive, but that's because my laptop is shitballs
after i build this thing i'm gonna start getting into bigger games like MW and Arma
I would make suggestions but i dont know if you are gonna like them
So i am just gonna hold off on that
also like 90% of my PC time is gonna be in VR so that's another thing to consider
Me personally, I'm avoiding high refresh like the plague and whenever I upgrade the GPU I'll probably up to 1440p whenever I get the chance
Uh, probably not
The launch for that got pretty messy, and you'd have to update the BIOS for the best performance. And even then a good number of the board partners didn't use the appropriate memory that works with the Bios.
You know cutting costs, so if you went for that; don't get an MSI ones. Sapphire is a safe bet though.
Well the drivers do have issues, but they're not end of the world tier stuff right now. I've haven't had many issues at all, granted I'm not using a Navi card. I think a lot of the driver reports are cause of user error. Like they might be installing the new drivers on top of really old ones for example
Carrying over a really old issue or something
There's this XFX card I was looking at. Its a 5700 that's 299 now. And its basically the same cooler that they used for the 5700 XT, I believe fixing some issues that the initial one had. I might pick that up and flash the 5700XT bios onto it 
But anyway, yeah save your money. Get a sub 400 card, they do 1440p well enough, albeit you won't get getting 144 in brand new AAA games most likely. But it'll handle em well
That's one reason I'm avoiding ever exposing myself to a high refresh rate monitor, cause I know I won't be able to go back to a lower refresh rate; and before you know it I gotta spend 600 bucks on a GPU 
Its an exaggeration, but you get it 
yeah
i'll just pick up a 2060 then, i keep raytracing and great performance while staying at $300
Sure, seems fair
Hopefully you will have some money to upgrade to 30 series later this year
I was looking at 2060s earlier, um
probably not, considering the rest of my cash is going to a Vive
should have enough cash for the 30s around like Q1 2021 though
or earlier
@vapid crypt 👁️

what about the 2060s 👁️
yes >:(
If you still want a good GPU, I recommend sticking with a 2070 Super, with 3600 or 3700X
Nah nothing, I was curious about them and thought one of the beefier EVGA coolers would be pretty good
But probably unnecessary for a 160w card
@fleet canopy yeah but
- i need $.
- nvidia 3000 soon™
- 2060 is good enough for what i play
Nvidia 3000 release when?
Well its this year
Q3/Q4 this year
I basically posed the question, if you got a 2070 super now and in 8 months the 3070 turned out to perform really really close to a 2080ti would you be unhappy with that
2070 Super doesn’t really come close to a 2080 ti
The 2080 Super does better for games imo, better price, closest to 2080 ti
$400 more though >:c
It’s performance is great for all gamers, unless you really want 4K lol
It’s quite expensive yeah
But 2080 ti for its performance isn’t really good for gaming, and 2080 Super can meet all games at a good resolution with good frames
The 2070 Super could do 4k, you might have to turn down settings but yeah that's coming down little by little
Think of the price though
200$ more than a 2070 Super, and you could do well off without having to ever worry about a thing
I just recommend 2080 Super over 2080 ti anytime
I think its BS that Nvidia has been skimping on memory
Never would recommend unless it’s got a reason like you use Blender or stuff similar to that
And yeah, 24GB VRAM has been done. Why can’t we have 15GB for that
We are getting to a point where some games can get pretty high with the memory use
It’d be more overkill, but it’s a great futureproof
Now granted we're talking 4k Ultra
Yeah I can reach like 7GB VRAM easy on ultra Siege 1440p
True, but it was doing 200 or more frames
They save money by skimping on memory, and just solving issues through software
Hit 300 max, averaged 200, low was uhh probably 135
Average must have been 230 probably
But yeah that whole thing started with the 1080ti, and I can almost understand it cause it was a cutdown Titan Xp; cut 1gb; speed up the clocks
Since memory is important for workstation they didn't want to shaft the Titan, shit they did that with the 780TI, same reason
They could do it, but they didn’t have to do it until now
I think its silly that for 1200 they won't even give you an even 12gb
I’d expect 12-15GB VRAM while at least doing more clock speed than 1700MHz in both
For 3080 Ti
Oh no it'll probably have 16
With the 3070 at 10, and the 3080 at 12
Well they did something worse
Oh?
They called a 60 class card a 2070
Haha what
The 2070 uses the TU 106 die, typically the 106 die is what's used in the 60 cards
Oh my
The 2070 Super uses a cutdown 104
Damn
Which is what they should have made in the first place
So lemme guess the lower the number, the better?
Yeah basically, there are exceptions if you look at older generations
Like the Titan and 780TI used a 110 something
But they use a 102 for those atm
Ah okay so it’s better when it’s smaller
100 is the biggest die I think that's what they use for their server cards
Ok I’m now confuse
About what?
I’ve never really learnt or anything about their dies
I learned about this shit in the past year pretty much 
Just know it’s the main part of the GPU and does fuck knows
From channels on youtube I started following
Its effectively no different from like a CPU die, that's where all the shaders and what not are found
Yeah, tech channels are pretty great if you follow the ones giving correct info and gives up to date news
Its where the magic happens 
I hit on YouTube like once or twice a day pretty much lol
I mainly use it to watch tech channels and a little bit of other stuff
Just never came across anything for dies
Except that the 2070 Super uses a 2080 die/board
This one channel I follow: Moore's Law is Dead; he runs a podcast called Broken Silicon covering PC hardware and other kinds of gaming hardware like consoles. He's had guests on, like Coreteks and Paul from Hardware Unboxed
Ah
Also Not an Apple Fan, his videos are great cause he posts almost daily and its just an Irish guy rambling about tech. That's where I learned the 2070 was truly a 60 class card 
Haha
A 14GB storage
can you guess which one GTFO is going into? 😉
That's just my recovery drive
not for storing shit
it's a recovery partition on my C
Uh no, are you a big fan of the game; if so probably on an SSD
It's going on my only SSD
Or windows idk
I need a boot SSD
You have one
yeah
Just use the SSD you already have
At least you aren't running games on the drive though
I'm booting my high priority games off of an SSD
willing to have my OS on a HDD for that reason
Gyusshhjffj
The problem with Hard drives and games is if you try running the game off of an HDD with the OS on it
That's when the speed goes to shit, otherwise its alright on a normal drive. Probably no more than 20% slower than an SSD
Windows is better on an SSD that has whatever you put in it lol
HDDs aren’t really that good unless the SSD is terrible
I'm saying is the HDD isn't good if you're running games on it with the OS on it
I'm keeping my boot hdd mostly clean
Otherwise, its not bad tbh. I got a 7200rpm drive with a big cache, I notice the speed difference with some things
Like Killing Floor takes ages, I think I'm gonna move that back over
Mainly just launching the game though
I’m pretty much going with having only SSDs for my stuff lol
Sure it’s kind of stupid. But it’s better than an HDD and facing slower loads
I wonder how much the big cache helps with loading actually 
I didn't notice any difference with Nioh anyway 
Lol
payday
I still have that on the SSD
I guess it’s only depending on what game needs it
512GB boot drive > 256GB boot drive i'm assuming
Uh I mean the bigger the better
Yeah I should go with a 100GB m.2 2280 instead of 250 for just windows honestly
With how Nand flash works, the higher capacity drives are always faster
Its like it scales with how many chips they put on the thing
Unless I should have 250GB for it 
4 TB SSD is the same price for a nvidia GPU
fun fact
Well, not that much, but around 500, if we're talking about mid-range
what
4TB SSD is dumb unless fast file transferring is really a priority with needing a big storage and can blow money like it’s nothing to you
first of all, mid range Nvidia GPU these days is like
1060 for the lower end of mid range
which is around 200
or 2060 for the higher end of mid range
Yeah no I’ve seen 4TB SSDs go for 700$ or more
which is 300
1070, most of them are around 500.
In 2018 the 2070 retailed for 599
sabrent rocket < 970 evo i'm guessing
There’s some brands that are far better than a 970 Evo
1070 is no more than $250 used
More like 200
As I’ve heard from Demonio, it was overpriced
@fleet canopy Give
Western Digital is great
There’s some other brands I forget
that's amazon
Was about to use newegg as well
never ever ever buy used tech on amazon
Of course
I bought my 1060 3GB used I believe
I have a 1060 3gb laying around that came installed in my old prebuilt
It was great for 3-4 years and the damn thing still works to this day
2080 ti
uhh
Don't buy a case through Amazon, they lost the first one I ordered and still failed to deliver the replacement 
what about the 2080ti?
okay
For those prices, 2070 Super is much better
I had to buy a different one from Newegg, lost 3 weeks and ran the pc without the case
Talking about unused.
@knotty haven what about the 2080ti exactly?
idk juist tossed its name out lol
And that's literally just retailers inflating prices because of low stock
Hm
I kind of have a bone to pick with the 2080ti
They'll get rid of them a different way most likely
wym
I’d love having one, I hate that price
Oh it is for 4K 60Hz on higher graphics
Hmm
a quatro would be a better bang for your buck when it comes to software application
I think the lows are closer to 75
I’d still highly recommend 2080 Super over 2080 Ti any day
^
again i was just tossin it out there 👀
also if you really wanna save some cash, a 1080 is still a perfectly viable card
already have 2
I wouldn't recommend Nvidia at all just on principal... but then its hard to recommend anything else 
building a new one
1080 Ti is more better choice, the price must have dropped at one point
dont like AMD either
AMD needs to step up their game HARD this year with a good gpu
AMD is great
eh
AMD is way behind
not my style
But their 5700XT ain’t doing much well
Why does this feel uncomfortably aggressive.
its not?
AMD kinda ruined the radeon brand
AMD has yet to compete with the high end when it comes to GPU
It was the absolute best when it was ATI running things
GPU can burn in a fire
they have the cpu market held down hard
Needs like a huge ass update
Because I hear complaints of “GAME NO RUN WITH 5700XT!!!!’”
The last time they were really super competitive was HD 6000
1660: existing
it blows my mind that they're trying to compete with nvidia mid market
why not go all the way
1660 is basically a 570 or 580, isn’t it
their GPU model makes no sense
Yeah, theyre good chilling in mid end
but WHY
2060 price actually dropped to compete against 5600XT
imagine the seamlesness of an all AMD build that's actually worth building
best gpu up to date, go
2070 Super
1080ti
Great for gaming
oh.?
1080 Ti is good too, but I’m not seeing a lot of it
1080ti is a classic imo, still worth buying
is it good for Game desgin thooooo
2080Ti. :D
cus everyone saw the 2080 and went to waste money
I mean if you put your mind to it
A 970 will let you develop a game 
That's what GTFO was made on
ew.
Any GPU can
well i mean the titan rtx is probably the best gaming gpu
5700XT has a Waifu gpu
definitely not in price to performance but in pure frames
CHECKMATE
Hahaha
Radtiator
hey so i did some things™
Like I said before, the drivers are buggy absolutely. But I legit think most of the issues are user error, not to mitigate AMD's fault in it of course, The initial 2020 drivers were a mess
I'm happy with my thermaltake fans
Sexy
isnt the best but meh
Overkill price
Dat Occulus
I could get a similar performance with 1500$
i don care for pref
@median moon Ridiculously overpriced components
Sure but in general shit price
Lost
Izuku, if you have this much money to play with, why are you here to get suggestions?
just buy two of whatever is most expensive
Throw the occulus away
Hahahaha
no
200$ priced mobo, and dark rock pro 4 or noctua d-15 better choice unless have absolute necessity to buy watercooler, a 100$ priced one
I was joking you know
D-15 is air
neh
i know, i'm not running an aio.
ROG RNG
Republic Of Gamers Random Number Generator
Haha
Yo get a Scythe Fuma 2, I don't think anyone appreciates the amazing performance for a 60 dollar cooler, like its within the ballpark of a D15 while being like 40% less
Are Gee Bee
import random
print(randint[0, 1000])
i like my shit looking like it ran thought a gay club
I like a tad bit of RGB
as long as my ram and mobo has it/radiator
jesus
@vapid crypt what else do i do
Otherwise it’s a distracting as fuck thing on a desk
Are you sure you'll need the wifi from the mobo?
i dont need it i use whats it called
Last I was done putting together my finalization of a build, I estimate 2000-2500$ haha
