Honestly not happy at the price that parts are going to be
Low production = lower inventory
lower inventory = artificial inflation of demand
higher demand + low inventory = higher prices
abstract kite
@abstract kite Did you hear? People on EBay and such are selling Face masks for like $200-$500
@abstract kite its insane
sick reef
Lower inventory does not lead to artifical inflation of demand, but an artifical increase of value.
If demand is the same.
Lower production leads to lower supply, but depending on demand, this could mean either the same inventory, or it could be because of inventory surplus, or it could lead into an inventory shortage, this case being more likely.
The important part though, is that lower supply with the same demand leads to artifically increased value. Depending on the demand and supply, it will be affected differently.
Lower supply does not mean artifical inflation of demand, because demand is not directly correlateable to supply.
This is the basis to which you can understand scalping. Artifical low supply being created to increase value of a product or service beyond the value estimated through demand.
brisk badger
I totally agree but the word artificial seems not needed
prisma granite
i wanna ask 8 gb ram geforce 1050 i5 pc. how much fps will you get running gtfo
sick reef
Artifical really just means that it is not follow the normal cycle of demand to supply into value.
vapid crypt
1050 and i5, eh you'd have to lower texture settings maybe adjust cpu culling. Might get 45ish maybe
abstract kite
Wanna know something scary? 5700XT has a very low default fan curve. I forgot to reset the aggressive curve that I like. I quickly scramble for my settings and see my Ambient temp is hovering around 80c while my junction was around 85c. The fans are venting now though.

How much would a decent logitech mic cost?
Hahahha
Trying to buy 1 for the game
Since my mic is broken
vapid crypt
Does it have to be a logitech mic? And what budget are you thinking?
late sorrel
vapid crypt
I got some cheap XLR china mic set for like 30 bucks, got a phantom power supply for it for 20 and I think its pretty good 
mystic ingot
Or spend an extra 10 bucks & just get a snowball with awesome sound quality. 
I got mine on sale for under 30 brand new.

Hoping to get some recommendations direct from gamers on a monitor to utilize an RTX-2080 Super with a preferred resolution of 1440. If you respond please tag, thanks for reading!
hollow phoenix
Thanks for the reply. I'm not really familiar with freesync/g sync.. will I suffer for having an Nvidia card with that monitor?
@median moon
eternal cairn
I think some Freesync monitors can support G Sync now.
vapid crypt
Yeah uh, monitor manufacturers started branding their Freesync monitors as "G-sync Compatible"
Which confirms that they tested it
Glass has an Nvidia graphics card, he could likely confirm if its working well.
fleet canopy
Any freesync can work, but won’t work too well unless it’s g-sync compatible or gsync itself
merry bay
It can work well, just that it's not tested. So no "stamp of aprooval" from NVIDIA.
Or possibly tested and didn't pass.
Point is you should try it even if it's not "g-sync compatible"
abstract kite
My game keeps crashing, can someone give me advice?
I keep getting the unity engine crash
lament fiber
so i'm looking to replace my Ryzen 5700 with nvidia now that it is green screening, black screening, flickering, and failing to load textures after only one month of use. Any recommendations on a card they produce for less then $450 USD?
abstract kite
Hmm
lament fiber
@abstract kite Use DDU uninstall and reinstall your GPU drivers. Down clock or up clock your GPU. Uninstall/reinstall or validate your game files. Relaunch game. Other options: Don't play games on a MAC, don't play on a PC that does not meet min specs listed in the store page.
abstract kite
What does DDU mean? I've done everything else.
lament fiber
Google Driver uninstaller. Find the one that says DDU download that one and use it.
DDU is a program that wipes out all traces of old drivers that might cause problems due to their legacy files.
abstract kite
@lament fiber The Direct Competition for the 5700XT would be the 2060ti which is going for $370+~ on Amazon. If you want to save a bit the 2070ti is a better choice imo.
Okay thanks @lament fiber
lament fiber
I was looking at a 2070 or 2060. I would get a 2080 but it is not worth the money they want.
abstract kite
I agree
lament fiber
The 2080 has been out for what 3 years now and is still over $1000? Ha..... no thanks.
abstract kite
I got my dad the 2070ti for about three weeks now. He's had no complaints with it.
lament fiber
Well my GPU was not showing any signs of problems until windows changed to this new 1909 build. The driver update AMD put out on Feb 28 did nothing to quell the problems.
lament fiber
If I have to look forward to these issues for every windows build update... no thanks

I tried playing Space Engineers and it crashed my system.
lament fiber
I can play space engineeres but not the 5th level. that level crashed 5 seconds after it loads ever time

My GPU telling me it was overheating at 43c..... 
abstract kite
Its been a known problem for over 9 months now.
lament fiber
Look at how old the game is now. I doubt the developers are going to bother fixing it.
lament fiber
I am amazed that the SE community did not release a fan patch for the game after 9 months of this problem being there.
abstract kite
@lament fiber where did you download your DDU?
lament fiber
We could always round up all of team mallet and go "knock" on the dev's door and let them know they need to fix their game.
abstract kite
Download the DDU! 
lament fiber
@abstract kite http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=DDU+Uninstaller
abstract kite
Thanks @lament fiber
lament fiber
@abstract kite Right now I am looking at what brand to get for 1080's, 2060,s and 2070's
abstract kite
1080s are stupid expensive atm
abstract kite
They are great cards despite their age.
They out preform both the 2070ti and 5700XT.
lament fiber
I also saw they are OC friendly
abstract kite
The only thing that is in direct competition would be the 2080ti and a Titan.
lament fiber
Both of which cost way too damn much
I got the 5700 I have now because it was $280 total and I could clock it to be above 5700XT baseline output.
abstract kite
I never OC my 5700XT
lament fiber
$280 for a card that could output at a $450 card's level. Sold
abstract kite
Did you read the reviews..?
lament fiber
Yep. Coin toss if it could even turn on out of the box, another coin toss if it would brick when trying to OC it, and even one more coin toss if you tried to Flash XT bios onto the non XT card.
abstract kite
lament fiber
I build high horse power engines for fun. It's a coin toss if they are going to blowup when you turn the ignition key. Those thing cost about 7000-11000 USD.
Last part I bought for one a few weeks ago was $360 and I am modding it to work better.
Making a $280 mistake with a 5700(nonXT) which is know as a tinker toy in the GPU world is not bad actually.
@abstract kite What does your GPU run at normally for performance? I set up 5 OC profiles on MSI afterburner and have no idea if they are any good. They are all stable in games I play though. I used Kombuster that MSI offers but I have no idea what the scores I have compare to in the real world.
My Ryzen 5700(nonXT) per OC settings I use.
regal laurel
With 2070ti I assume u mean the 2070 Super? From the benchmarks I watched the 1080 is on par with the regular 2070, but both the 2070 Super aswell as the 5700 XT clearly outperform it.
abstract kite
I disagree from the benchmarks I seen the 1080 Super (ti) was out performing both on most occasions.
lament fiber
What I saw for results is that the 1080 is about the level of an un modded RX5700.
I'm hoping that when the new gen of GPUs come out that the 2080 will drop to $500 or less
regal laurel
hm, not sure of the performance difference between the 5700 and 5700xt, 1080 to 1080ti was around 35% or so iirc. I'd assume less between the amd cards
lament fiber
RX 5700 is software bottle necked to not be at 5700XT levels. The 5700XT has literally 4 more or so chips on it. Flashing the BIOS of a 5700XT onto an Non XT card makes it run at the same level as a non over clocked XT. However a 5700XT can handle more overclocking due to it actually having those extra chips.
Those extra chips and the unlocked BIOS seem to bump up the price of the 5700XT by $150 or more.
regal laurel
Yeah I'm aware of that stuff. I was just thinking about fps percentages
lament fiber
Well I posted mine. I was hoping a 5700XT owner would post theirs for me to compare to.
regal laurel
then maybe try to get Galerus to run msi kombustor if they apparently have a 5700xt
lament fiber
@abstract kite That voice in the video...
regal laurel
their 5700 only seems to get 42 FPs if I read the score chart correctly, so u'd not have uncap
and I'm assuming the video is to show that the 1080 ti outperforms the 2070 super
lament fiber
I just want to see how mine compares to a normal 5700XT
regal laurel
I was under the assumption that with "to get for 1080's," and "1080s are stupid expensive" you were refering to multiple gtx 1080, not 1080 ti
the 1080 ti should perform about where that video shows, ye
lament fiber
so that vid you linked says what I know already. 1080 is still great for 1080p gaming but not good for anything above that. 5700's and 2060/2070 are for 1440p and above res.
regal laurel
always depends on what framerate you're targeting....
if a card can do 1440p60fps, you'll likely still have to buy a similar card for 1080p144fps
lament fiber
My monitor's resolution is at 3840x2160. The 1080 would CHUG at what I have.
regal laurel
depending on title, yeah, probably
What I meant however is that you may also still need a higher tier GPU for lower resolutions if you want to get higher framerates
Unless you're an early adopter I'm assuming you've got a 60hz panel
lament fiber
Yeah it is a 60hz 55in LG tv. Until i figure out what monitor I want to buy I'm using that.
Even though it is a TV it still looks hella good on the games I play.
regal laurel
If you're fine with playing on it why get a monitor
lament fiber
I'm getting back into FPS games so I need the higher framerates. Granted I I'm use to my old laptops 12 FPS so keeping 60hz is like OMG wowe!
regal laurel
oh, so a high refresh 4k or stepping down to 1440p?
lament fiber
I'm looking at a 1440p monitor
regal laurel
haven't sat infront of a 4k monitor tbh, but 1440p already looks stupid sharp to me, so I doubt most ppl would want more
depends on screensize ofc :x
eternal cairn
Text looks really good in 4k.
lament fiber
4k has bad screen lag if you use it for FPS shooters. the refresh rate makes the image "jump" when you use quick mouse movements
eternal cairn
Resolution isn't dependent on refresh rate, though...
abstract kite
If I am gonna get a 4k Monitor I'm going Ultrawide.
eternal cairn
Eww, why?
eternal cairn
They're super expensive though.
regal laurel
4k ultrawide is 5040 x 2160 ?
abstract kite
I've built 2 PCs you think an extra $550 is much?
lament fiber
I would buy a 4k 144hz monitor but I would rather buy more car parts. So I'm going to go with a 1440p as good ones are $350 or less
hollow phoenix
I was at work when you were responding sorry, @median moon could you tell me a bit more about the gsync compatibility on that monitor?
regal laurel
yeah 1440p144 for 350 ish is a good choice rn
hollow phoenix
Trying to search online, can't find much.
eternal cairn
How much desk space do you have, @abstract kite?
lament fiber
4096x2160 is ultra wide. That is the max my 55inch LG 4ktv supports for screen resolution.
regal laurel
mmh, I'd argue against calling that "ultra wide"... more like "widescreen+"
abstract kite
Eh
regal laurel
that seems to be only about 17.067 : 9 aspect ratio
lament fiber
Playing GTFO on my 55 in 4ktv from 3feet away makes it sure look ultra wide.
abstract kite
I also would need to move my PC again and get another Ethernet cable
regal laurel
1080p and 1440p "ultra wide"s are usually 21:9
cause the cables you got wouldn't reach?
lament fiber
Ah. I only have 16x9 as my max spread.
Oh wow 4:3 looks like ass on this TV. I never knew it had that option till just now.
regal laurel
ah, apparently there's a LG one with 5120x2160 for like 1100$
merry bay
Running 4K at playable framerates isn't enough. Go for an even higher resolution (ultrawide) to get that feeling of "I can't wait for tech to catch up with my display" once again 
lament fiber
Meh. Mine is 550 and I can't see what the reason is to spend an extra 550 on 20% more pixel count
strong whale
Great deal on for the 3900x on amazon rn (Canadian) usual price being $649-699
Just heads up
regal laurel
msrp is 499 usd on those?

Yay Timmy can die of dysentery again!

I should really follow the PC Build Guide from The Verge.

I should have followed a guide, any guide, but nooooo I had to wing it. Now I have an AMD GPU. But I am able to clock it at 2.08Ghz when out of the box it was locked to 1.75Ghz
abstract kite
Well I heard putting your RAM Sticks in Slots 2 & 3 are great.
I also didn't know I needed a Thermal Paste Applicator.
lament fiber
The MSI board I have STRONGLY says to put ram into slots 2 and 4 or all of them.
abstract kite
Should I icing the CPU like I do a cake with the Thermal Paste?
lament fiber
I used a Q-tip and scraped it flat onto my CPU. the other recommended way is to just put a glob the size of a pea in the middle. when you put the heatsink on make sure to rotate it a little to evenly spread the paste over the CPU.
abstract kite
Master have you not seen the video?

I watched Gamer's Nexus vid about it for laughs.

Master... If I May recommend go with Nvidia's Brand of the 2070...
fleet canopy
Beats 2-day/week shipping
NVIDIA reference is always the same price
Almost
Never seen it go above 500$ for 2070S
lament fiber
So what does that mean Gygabyte, ASUS, MSI? Those are all "Nvidia brands"
fleet canopy
No
mystic ingot
If they were more common wouldn't they be a macrocenter?
fleet canopy
They are different manufactures for making motherboards, GPUs, a fair amount
mystic ingot
In all seriousness, I've never heard of them. We have tons of best buys & Fry's around.
Fry's is decent. I also don't enjoy going to Best Buy.
fleet canopy
They make more than one of the same GPUs, each giving a different thing for it. One can be for better aircool, other can be for better performance but who’s laughing about it anyways
One brand will suck at a pc part, the other won’t
Sort of how it is it seems to me
abstract kite
Yes all the GPUs are Designed to have Nvidias specifications however I would not get the other brands such as MSI, ASUS, Gygybte... ECT..
fleet canopy
Gigabyte is cool
abstract kite
I'd get the one based of off Nvidia themselves imo
fleet canopy
Yeah they’re very lovely looking
Don’t get the blowers though
They suck, obviously
abstract kite
Kinky
lament fiber
As compared to a sucker?
Do those blow instead?
mystic ingot
For GPU's I've also leaned towards EVGA & Giga too usually.
fleet canopy
They allow huge overclocking I guess?
I know some limit that shit, it sucks so bad
Unless you don’t overclock them, then you’re fine I guess
lament fiber
Yeah.... about that....(stares at his overclocked GPU)
fleet canopy
I think it’s MSI that does it
You’re totally fine going with EVGA/Gigabyte. Good overclocking
abstract kite
Isn't overclocking also based off of you MOBO too. Like if it can handle it.
lament fiber
Well I do have an EVGA power supply so it may work better with a EVGA GPU?
abstract kite
Oh right make sure you have enough Watts
fleet canopy
Of course
lament fiber
I'm just surprised Nvidia GPUs even work on AMD CPU Mobos.
fleet canopy
I prefer 250-300W more than what is needed
abstract kite
Overclocking makes the GPU a Electricity Guzzler.
fleet canopy
If it consumes 300W, I’d pick a 600W or higher
abstract kite
750W should be more than sufficient.
fleet canopy
Yeah
lament fiber
Meh I went with 1000watt evga modular PSU. I so far have always used 1000watt PSUs even when I build my last PC 10 years ago.
fleet canopy
Dang
lament fiber
yeah that build only cost me $800 at the time
abstract kite
Ive never seen the reason to go past 750W
lament fiber
This one so far $2200 USD
fleet canopy
I mean, I heard there was a performance boost kind of thing for getting 1000W, even if it is unneeded?
Has to be unrealistic though
abstract kite
I heard something like that from Linus iirc
fleet canopy
Yeah me too
lament fiber
The 1000watt PSU keeps the long-term draw on the unit low so the PSU last longer. also it handles load spikes quite well
fleet canopy
But the deadass just calls for the one guy when it comes to technical software problems lmao
Ah
So that’s the only bonus, which seems really a good nice-to-have
lament fiber
If you have a 650watt load spike on a 750watt PSU it may not be able to handle it.
abstract kite
You may not be able to handle it.
fleet canopy
What if it had like gold 80+ certification though?
Cause I doubt it’s really too necessary to have 1000W unless you don’t want to replace PSU, you want to have years from a single one
lament fiber
That has nothing to do with power spikes. It is a Economical rating on the unit to show that what you get is close to the same amount of power in the system as you get out of the wall plug.
mystic ingot
I'm looking into PSU's that are modular too. Between an EVGA & a Seasonic. I've always sat at 750 for my PSU as well. Currently have the same as Galerus I believe. The CX750.
I didn't know that about the 1000W. Makes sense though. I've had mine for almost 7 years now.
fleet canopy
Yeah
I honestly doubt an upgrade is really needed from 750W unless you overclock, which takes more than what psu could handle depending how high the OC is
abstract kite
I don't get where you would put a 1000w PSU though isn't it like a huge strip?
lament fiber
The silver, gold, platinum ratings mean that 90%,95% and almost 100% of all power from the wall is transferred into usable energy inside your computer.
Nah my EVGA 1000Watt Modular is the same size as their 650watt
abstract kite
How much is it?
fleet canopy
The G5, hm
I heard of that, how is it like?
Not really sure what the difference are from G3
hollow phoenix
I just got the evga modular psu 750w i like it
abstract kite
G2 was better
lament fiber
G5 is a higher number than G3 is all I know. So far All I could tell is that the internals were changed some between the two.
abstract kite
G1 was the OG
lament fiber
G1 used IDE cables...and was not modular
mystic ingot
I remember hearing the G3 had problems with heat protection or something like that? Spontaneously combusting. Along with the Focus line of Seasonic I wanna say, a few of those had issues. During my research on which to get.

lament fiber
HDD are way slower in data transfer but are better for use in industrial sectors and for heavy usage as they last longer under high stress. The SSD is faster but burns out FAST if used heavily. But for home PCs they last about as long as a normal HDD does.
fleet canopy
Yeah it’s not really too bad
fleet canopy
HDD is cheap as hell
lament fiber
Most of the parts I have say made in Malaysia not china.
fleet canopy
And any broke guy would loooove to pay for a big drive on a small price
solemn orchid
uhh, what? @lament fiber
It was my impression it was the other way around
with SSDs lasting longer due to the lack of moving parts
and the fact that HDDs have a much shorter expected lifespan
fleet canopy
And if you’re Linus, HDDs don’t fare well
lament fiber
AMD CPU on the chip says made in Malaysia, and USA. The ram says Korea, The Mobo says Japan.
Oh SSD vs HDD
lament fiber
Nope SSD have a terminal finite number of write cycles. HDD slowly get bad sectors.
fleet canopy
Or some shit
solemn orchid
HDD failures are a result of physical damage from use
SSDs outlast them with the incredibly high number of write cycles
lament fiber
Also the bearing wear out in a HDD causing the reader arms to scrape the platters.
fleet canopy
SSDs also will eventually have way higher amounts of read/writes as well
abstract kite
SSDs are trash
lament fiber
So far SSDs last just as long as HDDs do
Unless you are using them in heavy load applications. like servers and video edditing
then SSDs die before the HDD
fleet canopy
Yeah pretty much
eternal cairn
SSHD is basically the best and worst of both worlds.
fleet canopy
SSDs will always beat HDD in normal uses
SSHD is crap for gamers
Unless you don’t mind having games on the HDD part
eternal cairn
HDD is great for cheaper storage space.
fleet canopy
It’s more better just having SSDs for me because load time
eternal cairn
Well, not everybody is rich (or has disposable income).
lament fiber
Also if you have a HDD you can have the drive taken apart and the individual platters can be ran in a machine to recover data. SSD deaths mean it's GONE.
eternal cairn
Or is it...? 🤔
fleet canopy
I have nothing important on SSD 
eternal cairn
Except game saves.
lament fiber
If you can pull data off a dead SSD start doing it for money. you would be rich.

Personally recommend sandisk drives. It's literally the same thing as the western digital equivalent. Just a different wrapper.
You can normally pickup sandisk drives for a little lower, worth it since it's the same thing. These are equivalent to the western digital blue drives for 250. 30/50 dollars cheaper depending on where you buy.

brisk badger
the gpu has it's own bios 🙂

How would I even open up my vbios?
brisk badger
accessing directly through software and commandline. FLashing however is mostly easier and can be done while windows is running mostly. You have to check the site of your vendor and if he added newer vbios'

My vendor was best buy?

i meant the brand, msi, asus gigabyte etc

Ati Flash is the program I use.

Ah it's the the regular AMD 5700XT

the grey brick?
lament fiber
Mine is XFX Ultra(enter meme here)
My GPU manufacture introduced a new BIOS because their factory one cause the cooling fans to never turn on.
Yet GTFO maxed out never caused my gpu to over heat when I was playing it. I was thinking wow this is a quiet card!...Oh wait the fans arent running WTF.
abstract kite
My GPU acts like a heater for my room.
lament fiber
Google Atiflash if you want the program that can update your bios.
abstract kite
I'm afraid of bricking my GPU lol
brisk badger
i don't find any official vbios for the reference card, you have to do the research yourself.
Also what often helps with reducing some temperatures is to dissassemble the cooling from the gpu, remove the thermal paste and pads and add your own
lament fiber
You most likely will not brick anything if you get your updated bios from your GPU's manufacture website. And you get the BIOS that are for your card's Serial Number, Model Number and if all else fails it's Name. Look up your GPU's ID info in a program called GPU-Z my tech powerup.
brisk badger
modern cards always have dual bios today
often with one write-protected so users cannot brick the card
lament fiber
Sadly mine does not have dual bios. I even ripped the card back out to look for a switch.
Not even a reset jumper.
brisk badger
odd. and it's a 5700xt
lament fiber
Haha, nope it is a XFX DD Ultra 5700(nonXT) that I flashed XT bios onto.
frail patrol
dude the xfx 5700xt is trash i literally made my brother return his
the price range between xfx and gigabyte is like 10 bucks
lament fiber
That is kinda why I bout it. So I don't fell bad if I smoke it messing with it. Also Amazon had them on sale for $45 cheaper than an other 5700 on their site. Even Newegg was more expensive.
frail patrol
ooo how much did you pay?

thats not bad

That should have been a Red Flag.

I was happy the box did not contain a literal brick.

frail patrol
you really dodged that brick
lament fiber
The thing I looked at about the XFX was that despite how shitty they are they can be worked with. Also I had a 30 day window to hard brick it and return it as a dud through Amazon.
With how bad a reputation they have no one would argue that the one I got was not broken out of the box.
First place I went to was https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/xfx-rx5700-dd-ultra-to-xfx-rx5700xt-thicc-ii-ultra-bios-flashing.261717/ after I got it.

The Setting is 100 Manual fan curve. It is a % of what my personal fan settings are.
abstract kite
Is this a fine curve?
brisk badger
2080 core clock is more than my 5700xt does 😛
lament fiber
The 100% fan setting you see is this:
My GPU temp is 37c right now so the fans are quiet.
@abstract kite You want your fans to go to max speed by 90C. After that the GPU will drop data and framerate to save its self from melting. I think the phrase I hear it called is thermal throttling.
abstract kite
My Temp/Junction Temp has never reached 90C and if it did I would stop what I'm doing.
lament fiber
You are fine then. Mine runs about 74C in games. Normally 65-74C so far. It only goes over 80C when I benchmark it.
vapid crypt
I swear I recall hearing the 5700 DD ultra has a dual bios switch, but maybe I'm thinking of the Thicc II 
Hmm seems to be the case, this is an image of the switch apparently

Wow. That is hard see.
vapid crypt
I suppose it could be, its next to power pins
lament fiber
Welp I was wrong. I do have dual Bios switch.
I could not see that thing because that sucker is TINY. I was looking for a full sized sliding switch not a 2mm wide tab hidden inside a hole.
@vapid crypt Thanks for that pic I would have never have found the dual bios switch otherwise.👍
vapid crypt
Oh I was just curious cause I was sure the card had a switch, but since I don't have one I couldn't be certain

Anyone here have experience cooling a R 590 gpu? It's the one problem with my brothers setup, it's just such a hot card
How effective would a copper water cooling block be? Or would getting a generic water block be the better move?
vapid crypt
So I have an Rx 580, my temps are pretty typical. I've undervolted slightly by about 30mv, not really a big deal but its what I could do while keeping a peak clock of 1400mhz. My temps are pretty typical, though I do have good airflow
Two 140mm fans as intake using a full mesh face front panel
Don't usually see more than like 65C in most cases, but that's perfectly fine. A GPU isn't really HOT until its like around 85C I would say. This all depends on airflow pretty much, so start with airflow and experiment with undervolting
winter thorn

I've heard a lot of people saying that updating their BIOS fixes a lot of things, but I've never had any issues that required doing that.

I mean, if there's nothing wrong with the BIOS, it's probably pointless to update it.

The problem is that updates can be a gamble.

hexa-core i7 is really good
eternal cairn
I liked my i7 and it was great for gaming, but it was only good for gaming.

that sounds backwards Nazo

thats why im considering the new AMD Threadripper 12 core. Only because I can do gaming, and so much more. (From what I read anyway)
edgy blade
Is it true that streaming is better with the 12 core?
severe aspen
intel cores are better for office work and applications. i7s have the ability to game and more. i5s not so much. however, AMD Ryzen series are better for gaming specifically because of the ability to overclock them without harm
eternal cairn
I haven't tried streaming with it yet, but it's better than NVENC when it comes to recording. It takes a lot of the weight off and only uses around 20-30% CPU usage maximum when recording 1080p60.
But it might be because I have the highest preset.

Nice. I stream here and there but my pc doesnt do the best.

Yeah, I've seen videos on how software encoding works way better than NVENC.

I'm tempted to do it because of potential price margins, but there must be a catch...

I love it, the software that controls the AMD is a lot more user friendly than NVIDIA in my opinion.
I had an old laptop that ran a NVIDIA 970m in it, still ran a lot of things on ultra but the software for NVIDIA was just lacking.
