My gigabyte one is 800

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

Remove the M.2 since it’s double the price that was for me

#

And use the gigabyte then

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:08 AM

#

Oki

#

these are aio brands there are

📎 unknown.png

#

your eisbaer only goes to 360

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:11 AM

#

https://modmymods.com/alphacool-eisbaer-420-aio-cpu-cooler-black-11390.html

#

Try from here

#

You can only buy this one from here

#

And yes it’s out of stock atm

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:13 AM

#

155 euro

#

i don't even know how much shipping will be

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:20 AM

#

Look For a PSU that’s over 750w thats titanium or platinum (titanium is better) that’s 150 euro or lower

#

And look for an M.2 SSD that’s 75 euro or under

#

CPU, CPU cooler, motherboard, ram, HDD, and fans are the only thing from my list you should keep on the list

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:25 AM

#

Silverstone ST85F-PT 850W ATX blackPSU for 155

#

is platinum

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

Add that

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

most are gold

#

ok

#

crucial p1 is 79

#

onf of the cheapest for 500gb i find

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

Do you Know the difference between MVMe SSD and SATA SSD?

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

mvme is apparently faster

#

but that's it

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:36 AM

#

If you want to save money you should get a SATA SSD, because the one you picked out is the same speed as a SATA one and costs a lot more then a SATA one

#

It’s about 20 euro more for the same thing pretty much

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

i see

#

i don't find anything cheaper than 70 in any case anyway xd

#

ah w8 i can

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

And is the 2080 SUPER for 800 euro the cheapest?

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

790 to be precise

#

yes

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

Look for a cheaper X570 chipset motherboard

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

found the one of msi without wifi for 20 euro cheaper

#

xd

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

Pick that

#

Look for 2070 SUPER and tell me the cheap ones prices

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

550 euro seems to be the cheapest one

#

gigabyte one again

#

i'll just see if i can crank my budget up

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

Wait I’m thinking

#

Look up thermal grizzly kryonaut thermal paste

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

this? 13 euro

📎 unknown.png

#

depends which one tho

📎 unknown.png

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

Top one

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

ok

#

13 euro yea

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 9:59 AM

#

Show me some cheap 500+gb SSDs

#

Bit first

#

Ryzen 7 2700x look up the price for me

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

195

#

around 120 is the cheapest 1tb ssd

#

cheapest 500gb is still around 75 ish

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

@chrome heart Get arctic AIO

#

if there is correct size available

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

There’s two routes I have for ya, one that has you loosing 20+ FPS but keeps in budge or one that will be over budget by a small bit but you’ll have to save up a bit

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

i'll jsut take over the budget one

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i'll save a little then

#

@jade ermine which xd

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

Ok, then all we need is a SSD and we are done

#

Show me the 75 500gb one

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

Arctic liquid freezer 2

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

@rapid plume i just picked samsung evo 970 500gb

#

it's like 100 euro

#

xd

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

Shits on corsair/nzxt/deepcool all in ones and its way cheaper

#

comes with great fans

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

There’s no 420mm option for that tho Unlucky

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

360/280mm maybe instead?

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

Case won’t properly support that

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

also what aio's even are 420mm

#

what case

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

Plus for price point the one I have is one of the cheaper

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:08 AM

#

thermaltake core p5 @jade ermine

#

Arctic liquid freezer 2 is actually cheaper than your icebaer

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

adata NVMe SSD 500gb Look That up

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

Also P5 takes 120/140mm fans so idk what you are on about compatibility

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

yet again, yours was 420 instead of 360

#

@rapid plume 92 euro

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

Just slap 360mm arctic on it

#

and you are good to go

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

ok

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:12 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#D=1&sort=price&A=480000000000,525000000000

#

Are those prices in euro or USD?

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:12 AM

#

USD

#

mayb i can change

#

yea i was able to change

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

Get the Samsung for SSD

#

📎 image0.png

#

That look about right for price?

#

And if you get a 360mm it will look like shit, the case is meant for larger rads, and you can only get a 240mm since that’s the only in stock, which is shit compared to the 420mm lmao

#

He also wants RGB, that will be meaning he will need to change his fans

#

There’s more to consider for AIO then Just ‘oh it’s good’

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:17 AM

#

its meant for custom liquid looling

#

so any AIO will look rather dumb on it

#

just my 2 cents

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:18 AM

#

https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Jq6gSydOL.jpg

#

It has a quick disconnect, if he ever wanted to do custom he could do it, and this is perfect because he can replace liquid should it ever be needed

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:19 AM

#

@rapid plume yea that's about what I have

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:19 AM

#

that pump is hot ass. Buddy of mine went through 2 of those in 1 year. SFF build.

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

You went from putting in your 2 cents to trying to force your OPINION

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:20 AM

Atleast im not blindly recommending poor products

Thats why you knew rads larger then 360mm existed lmfao

jade ermine May 1, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

wut

#

https://www.thermaltake.com/core-p5-aio-bracket.html @chrome heart Thermaltake sells AIO bracket for P5, Might be handy since you are going with AIO

#

It's mostly just aesthetic thing lol

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

Anyways forced opinionated comments aside, I’d say get the full list together then look around for the best prices then keep an eye on them as you save up Equinox

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

i'll try thx 🙂

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:26 AM

Because of corona, prices are fluctuating a lot

chrome heart May 1, 2020, 10:26 AM

your help is very much appreciated

rapid plume May 1, 2020, 10:26 AM

Question for yall, I put a build together last over facetime for a friend of mine that doesn't understand PC's by any mean's. We had it booted, benchmarked etc. Had him go into bios setting's just check everything for the first time and now the board lost the HDD, although it's displaying it on screen which doesn't make any sense. It's just missing from the boot sequence I tried everything I could think of CSM mode, Uefi settings, all of it. Still the same problem this whent on till about 2-3am and I just had to call it. Other then putting a bootable usb with window's anyone have any idea's [all conections where double/triple checked] its an ASUS 397-a <--- or something close to that.

brisk badger May 1, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

Did you, by any chance changed the AHCI option in the bios for the booting OS drive?

#

I don't really understand your post but I assume the HDD is properly detected in the BIOS but the pc doesn't boot afterwards

sick reef May 1, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

Sounds like it detects the HDD but does not see it as a bootable drive.

pine lion May 1, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

^ yes, and yes the bios doesn't see the bootable drive. Although the bios display screen is showing the HDD there. Just not in a bootable squence, or even dectected as bootable.

austere oasis May 1, 2020, 6:39 PM

does this game support SLI?

#

askign for a friend

#

he has an older pc obviously, and he said the only way he could play GTFO atm is if his computer supported SLI

#

i mean the game*

eternal cairn May 1, 2020, 6:55 PM

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 7:50 PM

Would someone be able to walk me through on how to clean a computer? I freaked out when I tried using compressed air and saw the evaporate stuff that occasionally comes out when you hold the can at the wrong angle, so I just put the panel back on and left it.

sick reef May 1, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

Well, it usually does if you're holding it upside down, but shouldn't be too big of a worry, unless it leaves a wet stain on the MB.

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

I tried it on a case fan.

#

That sits at the front panel.

sick reef May 1, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

Then you don't need to worry too much.

#

What you want to get rid of primarily, is the visible dust.

pine lion May 1, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

you mean liquid nitrogen? harmless, just dont put the can upside down. It's the compressed air coming out to fast. even if it does a little will not harm any componet of your pc.

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

Unsure if I should just replace the case fan with a new one I have or clean it.

pine lion May 1, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

new 1 if better cfm

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

CFM?

pine lion May 1, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

cubic feet per min, basiclly how effective the motor and fan blades are.

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

My computer is an iBuyPower prebuilt, so I assume the case fan is an inferior one?

fleet canopy May 1, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

Well prebuilts aren't cool

#

As in like they like to ass out on some stuff

pine lion May 1, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

eh, depend's.

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

I bought a prebuilt because I am too stupid to build a computer.

fleet canopy May 1, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

Give it a good clean though

sick reef May 1, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

The best tip I have for you is actually to vaccum the radiators.

#

or the heatsink, if that's what you have.

pine lion May 1, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

Your not stupid, your new to understanding computer lingo, everyone was there at one point.

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

120mm liquid AIO.

pine lion May 1, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

Water cooler.

#

Like a car's radiatior system, CPU chip is the motor, the radiator is the radiator.. takes the heat from the the CPU and cool's it down before returning cooler water to the chip,

#

All In one. is AIO.

sick reef May 1, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

Not fully correct but good enough.

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

I just get really scared I'll break something if I try to clean or do anything to the computer.

pine lion May 1, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

Im being simple. You will not break anything as long as you spray the dust off everything it will only help the pc in the long run

sick reef May 1, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

Yeah

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

Do I keep the computer upright or lay it down on a table before cleaning out dust?

sick reef May 1, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

Does not matter so long you remove the dust.

#

Most important is the Radiator fins, eventual clumps of dust, and most dust on the fans.

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

Do I have to remove the AIO to clean it?

sick reef May 1, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

No.

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

What about the fan on the cooler?

sick reef May 1, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

If you can remove most dust from it, there's no need to remove it.

vapid crypt May 1, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Just spray compressed air through the radiator, as long as it isn't that clogged up anything stuck in there should come out

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

Still scared to do anything though.

brisk badger May 1, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

bring it to a local pc repair store

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

What are the ideal temperatures for GPU and CPU?

brisk badger May 1, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

this varies from type to type and what your goal is

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

I only intend to play games on this computer.

brisk badger May 1, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

i meant more what hardware do you have and if your goal is to have it as silent as possible or if performance matters more

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

i7-8700k and RTX 2080.

brisk badger May 1, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

generally I would say, keep CPU under 80° and GPU maybe under 90°

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

Right now having GTFO open, it says on Open Hardware Monitor the GPU is 66-67 degrees Celsius and for the CPU it is between 56 and 65 degrees Celsius.

brisk badger May 1, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

that's totally fine IMO

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

Is that considered the ideal range?

#

When should I be worrying about if something is wrong? 90+ degrees?

brisk badger May 1, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

yes but since you have modern PC, it will adjust the fans and make more noise once it's reaching a hotter temperature

#

and in worst case, the PC will power off if it's getting too toasty

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

I'm unsure if I need to clean it now or not, I'm sure I need to though.

#

Had this PC for a year and a half now.

brisk badger May 1, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

temp wise, it probably won't matter much. however if you clean it you solve potential issues in the future, you will have fans that live longer when they are not covered in dust and generally have a good airflow

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

I have LL120 fans that I want to put into the case, but I'm unsure if the front panel can be taken off.

#

The particular prebuilt I bought is iBuyPower and uses the Slate 2 case.

#

@brisk badger is 80 degrees Celsius bad for GPU temperature when running a game?

fleet canopy May 1, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

That's kind of high, but it's fine

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

Does it need to be cleaned if it is that high?

fleet canopy May 1, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

I mean, if you haven't cleaned in some time, probably

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

What exactly do I do when cleaning the PC? Will a can of compressed air be enough?

fleet canopy May 1, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Yeah

#

Just as they said, don't do it upside down

#

The can, ofc

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Don't I need to pick up dust that falls inside the case?

fleet canopy May 1, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Uhh

#

You can use a vaccuum if you got that

torn ferry May 1, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

What exact vacuum do you recommend?

fleet canopy May 1, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

Any vaccuum

#

Regular vaccuum will do good anyway

#

Oh?

#

What monitor is it

#

Any resolution + refresh rate?

lilac geyser May 1, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

north: running an AD27QD, its pretty good. the blacklight bleed is kind of scary when you first turn it on, but I dont notice once an image is actually displayed. Other thing is it says its 144Hz, but i was reading something and it said that basically it can only do 120Hz

#

ive been satisfied with it, but kind of disappointed about the 120Hz thing

#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuzO9xK04Jk

also, that was the very first monitor that aorus (gigabyte) ever made, they have since then released a bunch more models, probably worth looking at

@abstract kite You can go into your Radeon Software by right clicking on a open part of your desktop and clicking on it. I am not sure what GPU you are running, but I assume the software is the same across the board with Adrenalin.

I uninstalled and installed the driver, reset. Nothing helps

brisk badger May 3, 2020, 10:40 AM

This may sound stupid, but what's the difference between vsync and limiting the frames?

abstract kite May 3, 2020, 11:30 AM

#

limiting the frames is fluid

#

you can limit the frame rate to be higher than your monitor refresh rate

#

however vsync locks the framerate to the monitor refresh rate

brisk badger May 3, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

yes but when you limit the framerate, wouldn't you optimally limit to the refreshrate of the monitor?

#

like myself for example, I always limit to 144. Will there be some sort of delay with limiting frames?

abstract kite May 3, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

not really

brisk badger May 3, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

i never really read much about vsync but people say it adds a delay

#

*delay in frametimes

abstract kite May 3, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

you wont see anything above FPS but for competitive games even if ur fps is higher than the refresh rate you will have an advantage

#

because higher FPS always gives better frame times

#

my monitor is 144 but i usually set the frame limit to 170

brisk badger May 3, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

okay I see

abstract kite May 3, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

no screen tearing but better frametimes

brisk badger May 3, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

i need to look deeper into frametimes and find a small app that can display me this info easily

abstract kite May 3, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

i think vsync does add a delay vs regular frame locks

#

its like a 15 millisecond delay

#

i think

brisk badger May 3, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

i think you are right when it's 60hz

#

not sure if it's the same when it's higher

abstract kite May 3, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

frametimes definitely get lower with higher FPS

#

i have the afterburner stats and when i get 200 fps the frametime is definitely lower than 144

#

yep 300 fps is about 3 milliseconds, 144 is around 7 milliseconds

brisk badger May 3, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

yea I just don't want to install afterburner again because only of this info.
I used to have big problems with afterburner always resetting my undervolted settings after a reboot. So I completely ditched it

#

yea make sense. thanks for the help 👍

"The only real difference is whether or not your hardware can handle it. If you're getting FPS significantly above your monitor's refresh rate, capping is the way to go because there is no point in pushing more frames. If your FPS dips below your monitor's native refresh rate, V-Sync is what you want because it smooths out tearing from those drops and locking to a higher refresh rate than your hardware can handle is meaningless.

If you don't see any screen tearing regardless, then neither really matters." @brisk badger

#

Actually no scratch that

#

"Locking fps does practically nothing to help screen tearing.

Screen tearing occurs because your monitor and GPU frames are out of sync (then the name V-Sync/G-Sync/Free Sync). Your gpu is still sending the frame and the monitor is displaying it. Meaning you get maybe the top half of one frame and the bottom half of the old one.

PS: This is a very simplified explanation. A guy on the comments here have made a much better and complex one."

#

Could always try that out and see for yourself

#

So what I can assume is that vsync basically makes sure the GPU renders at the right time so it looks clear and good

#

And locking FPS is just like, limiting the power on it

#

Locking FPS would just make it do the desired FPS, but not as well as vsync and shows slight tears I guess

vapid crypt May 3, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

I was playing The Surge 2 recently, since its on game pass I guess radeon software has problems detecting some of the games on there so it doesn't work with freesync. So I get tearing around the center on the screen a lot of the time, and the performance kind of suffers with v-sync on I think.

fleet canopy May 3, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

Yeah, it's always been something with AMD that it didn't do too well

#

Or at least when the 5700/XT came out

vapid crypt May 3, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

What?

fleet canopy May 3, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

When AMD released the 5700XT, drivers obviously sucked. One of the problems I've heard if I remember right, was that it sometimes had screen tearing even with freesync/using vsync wasn't always very good

late sorrel May 3, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

yeah I know what you mean with that

merry bay May 3, 2020, 5:51 PM

@brisk badger This video should help paint a picture around the topic

#

Also humans are really good at getting used to consistency.
However big/small it might be. If your lag is consistently one value, you'll get used to it and adjust accordingly.
If your lag is sporadic, there's too much variance to properly adjust.

sick reef May 3, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

Locking frames can improve frame times which can reduce tearing. V-sync is practically a brute force way to force sync, because the front buffer waits for the back buffer to finish rendering before it pulls the frame from it.

#

Regardless of how long it takes the back buffer to render a frame.

let me be more clear, replace the thermal paste with a new one, meaning disassemble the laptop use isopropyl alcohol for the thermal paste to clean it and apply a new one(both gpu and cpu), use some air can pressure to remove the dust from the fans and maybe even use a toothbrush with some alcohol to clean the fins in the cooler and you should be set

Which would mean assuming the prices are retained from turing it would make RTX far more viable since it will be more affordable

I think it might be necessary to think about getting a bit more VRAM for the upcoming generation of games

I'm still playing on 1080p as I don't have a reason to upgrade just yet. I'm looking at higher end cards for pen testing and password encryption/decryption software

Yeah I don't really think I'll be upgrading from 1080 either, I got two good monitors so why bother

There are indeed games that users or developers say you need like more than 11/12GB

#

Like there's this game called SubSim X or whatever

vapid crypt May 5, 2020, 12:09 AM

That's at like 4k though right?

Back then, couldn't run at all

Fucking wild

#

But that's only one game

vapid crypt May 5, 2020, 12:09 AM

Like one game I can think of that can use easily 10gb is Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 4k

fleet canopy May 5, 2020, 12:09 AM

But that big requirement is something I hope we can afford to get tbh

#

GTA can use up more than 11GB I think?

#

There was this graphics option which taaaaanked on my GPU

#

And really added to the VRAM by miles

vapid crypt May 5, 2020, 12:10 AM

If the flagship card doesn't have 16gb I wouldn't be surprised, cause anything to save a dime at Novideo

fleet canopy May 5, 2020, 12:10 AM

At least 14GB is fair

12GB is a fat joke too

vapid crypt May 5, 2020, 12:11 AM

12GB would be too late, they were already doing 11GB since the 1080ti

Here's a slightly off topic question that still does somewhat pertain to the conversation. When's the possible time that we will see custom PCBs for these cards? Assuming the reference cards ship around August/September, we might see the custom PCBs around November, yes?

It's a far fetched question for sure

TSMC's 7nm is largely going to AMD and Apple

intel just droped there 10th series

only diff is r9 is fucking 60 bucks cheaper and has a extra core

vapid crypt May 5, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

2 extra cores right?

knotty haven May 5, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

yuh

#

and 4 threads extra

#

and its $60 cheaper

#

It just shows how greedy intel has become

#

i mean great. there catching up, but why that price

#

14nm

#

kms

#

intel chould be on top if they wherent so damn greedy, just stop making 14nm and make the fucking chip cheaper,

vapid crypt May 5, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

So there's a couple reasons AMD's CPUs are generally cheaper: 1. Until recently they weren't market leaders and 2. They have an extremely efficient way of segmenting their products using chiplets which is really easy and cheap to do, and even makes yields far better. Intel has been stuck on the same process for 5 years, they've had trouble refining a new process/architecture and they of course still use the usual monolothic die approach for their processors. So yields for these kinds of processors aren't as good. Now technically speaking they are absolutely greedy, I'm pretty sure it costs no more than a couple hundred bucks to produce that i9; maybe a bit more. Its a bit more nuanced than that, though ultimately since they've been market leaders for so long even if it isn't really the case now; their brand certainly carries weight that they can afford to ask for more than they really should be. To be honest I'm not entirely sure what Intel is thinking with this, but Alder Lake next year should be more interesting.

lilac geyser May 5, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

thanks professor

#

one of gamers nexus' recent videos seems to draw the conclusion that intel has only been putting minimal innovation into thier series since the i7-2600 sandy bridge days

#

those sandy bridges overclocked like a beast, the newer products dont

#

so intel has been selling stuff just closer to their true potential, making it look like innovation

fleet canopy May 5, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Probably cause they're kind of getting close to how much the 14nm can do

#

Now with much better coolers, sure

#

But that's like

#

Overkill at this point

#

A huge joke

lilac geyser May 5, 2020, 2:33 AM

i dont care who makes it as long as its faster and cheaper

so i hope intel comes back and crushes amd, and then amd does it again

fleet canopy May 5, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

Well you have a 3700X which is twice as better as a 7700K by overall specs like core count, blah blah

Not by performance probably idk

But soon enough smaller core count won't really factor in for too much I guess

ive had this keyboard for like 5 years lmao

#

i wanna get a new one but im broke and lazy

sick reef May 5, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

Yeah. I got a razer keyboard that was half-off and Synapse is not something I'm installing.

fleet canopy May 5, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

Who's gonna even install anything to use a keyboard/mouse

lilac geyser May 5, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

i think it would have worked as a keyboard, but couldnt have controlled the backlight, or the programmable keys

#

ive literally been waiting 10 years for something like that for the optimus keyboard to be affordable

#

it started as $1000, which i understand for a low volume first generation product

#

each key had a programmable lcd screen, who doesnt want that kind of customization

#

I can appreciate that, but not what the image suggests.

#

You can't adjust the RGB without installing, and keeping, the software installed.

#

And it keeps reminding me, because I have a spare mouse for when I lie in my sofa, watching videos, so when I plug it in, it tries to install the software, and I'm at the point where I'm about to stop mice from autochecking for software.

Why not just sell the PC and build a computer?

It's more easier than dealing with Alienware

It's way too overkill

Overpriced

vapid crypt May 6, 2020, 12:28 AM

Origin is not a great SI choice, they mark up the price way too much

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

The parts could easily be compared to others

#

Yeah

vapid crypt May 6, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

I think NZXT's BLD would be a better choice

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

If you are looking to spend that sort of money, you can get a 2080 Ti and a 3900X/10900K

vapid crypt May 6, 2020, 12:29 AM

Wonderful, what are you gonna do with it?

Don't spend 6 grand for that phaWesker

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 12:29 AM

You might as well settle for just a 1080 Ti or a 2080 Ti and a 10700K

vapid crypt May 6, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

You can spend a third that, hell less than a third and do the same thing for years to come

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

It's just not worth it my man

#

Just get a PC list and build it, buy a PS5 and switch for way cheaper

vapid crypt May 6, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

I saw this Timmy Joe video today where he looked at a 11 year old PC that cost someone over 4 grand back then

#

This is 4 grand canadian albeit

#

And the mentality of the individual was to have a pc that last 10 years, but the reality is it certainly didn't last

#

He ended up upgrading the graphics card half way anyway

#

GTX 295, not even DX 11

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

We're gonna be getting the 10th gen, possibly the next AMD lineup, and a 3080 Ti that performs waaaay better than the Orange Hole of Overpriced Crap

vapid crypt May 6, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

The Green thing? You need to be more specific, there's a lot of green circuit board there phaWesker

#

But I assume you mean the graphics card, since it has a green pcb

#

Which is normal for it to get hot when under a game load

#

Hang on this is a fairly recent pc right?

#

Cause that's an RTX card

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 12:45 AM

Oh yeah

What is that a 2070 or something?

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 12:45 AM

2060

#

It's not one of those double fan ones, so yeah

#

They were kind of okay with the whole PC, just bad parts overall by what they specifically picked

vapid crypt May 6, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

2070/2060 the only difference really is 4 SMs and 2gb of VRAM PirateSimon

So I have a 5 year old gaming laptop with a 970, gpu. all settings are lowest and my resolution is 600x700 range. I get around 40-50 fps. Is there any way to reduce even more settings? like particles?

rapid plume May 6, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

I’d say this goes in #gtfo-technical-support

solemn orchid May 6, 2020, 5:43 AM

#

nah, it's fine here

#

@spring sapphire Not a whole lot you can do, but there's always the option to set it to high priority in the task manager

#

to squeeze those last couple frames out

rapid plume May 6, 2020, 5:45 AM

#

And tho it may look odd lowering FOV will help a tiny bit

spring sapphire May 6, 2020, 5:46 AM

#

@solemn orchid ive done that aswell

#

@rapid plume oh wow reducing FOV helped a lot. Thanks!!

rapid plume May 6, 2020, 5:48 AM

I played MW2 on ps3 9 years ago

abstract kite May 6, 2020, 4:56 PM

That game needs Raytracing.

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

Totally

#

Unless it's already added since MW already has it

#

Funny how if I have it off, I see a fuckton of pixels, and if I turn it on, it's gone

#

Weird how ray tracing works but eh

late sorrel May 6, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

i'd love remakes for a bunch of old games

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

They give you the highest anti-aliasing when using ray tracing so it's kind of obvious

#

Apparently MW2 does have the ray tracing feature @abstract kite

#

Coffee has a 1070 or the 1070 Ti at the moment so I guess that's a factor

fleet canopy May 6, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

The only thing I have to say about ray tracing in MW is that it's kind of damn near useless

#

If you can see details pretty damn accurately, then sure

#

But overall MW is already too damn good with shadows for it to be necessary

proper wren May 7, 2020, 6:38 AM

Companies don't cover physical damages unless opened out of the box

#

but it should be fine to replace the power cord since they're easy to replace

rapid plume May 7, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

^^^

proper wren May 7, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

I highly doubt that they would replace your pc all because of a ripped or snapped off cable

rapid plume May 7, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

Ah, then yea look to the warranty

proper wren May 7, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

If the warranty is up to date still the technician will take it in to inspect

#

They will do hardware diagnostics and stress tests to find the fault. Once the fault is found then the technician has the choice to replace the component or hardware. If that doesn't resolve the issue and is brought back to the store 2-3 more times. The tech informs the manager and the manager can do the exchange or credit

#

Every technician usually has to follow a chain of command line and give proper procedures unfortunately instead of replace pc for new pc lol

rapid plume May 7, 2020, 6:57 AM

rapid plume May 7, 2020, 7:30 AM

rapid plume May 7, 2020, 7:31 AM

#

My point is for 4K video editing not gaming

proper wren May 7, 2020, 7:31 AM

#

like the titan is good for rendering and such but you're better off getting 2 2080tis than a single titan gpu

#

That's what I'm saying lol

#

📎 a.png

rapid plume May 7, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

98% of the time 2 2080 Tis would never be worth it since support for that is so slim XD

proper wren May 7, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

RTX Titan has less support lol

rapid plume May 7, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

Since it’s for workloads more then gaming

late sorrel May 7, 2020, 7:41 AM

#

yeah just get two 2080Ti’s

proper wren May 7, 2020, 7:44 AM

#

the only time I would get a titan is if I have to do 8k video rendering OR just get a quadro 8000 and call it a day

late sorrel May 7, 2020, 7:50 AM

#

^^ yeah just get a quadro

brisk badger May 7, 2020, 11:04 AM

I am jealous of all those video editors and those who need beefy pc's for their jobs. For my job they give me cheap stuff with integrated gpu's 😢

fleet canopy May 7, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

RTX Titan is probably one of the most useless thing to buy for a price like that

#

And for everything else except the "It's got like 24GB of VRAM so it should be better than 2080 Ti"

#

More VRAM really isn't something you'd need unless it was heavy 3D rendering if I know right

vapid crypt May 7, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

Right well it isn't meant to be a gaming card even if some gamers with more money than sense buy it

fleet canopy May 7, 2020, 1:46 PM

Like Linus with 4 RTX Titans?

vapid crypt May 7, 2020, 1:48 PM

Does he have 4 titans in his personal system?

fleet canopy May 7, 2020, 1:48 PM

He used it for like 16 monitors I think?

#

Course it wasn't too good

#

But either way, it didn't really work too well for gaming

vapid crypt May 7, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

Oh so just a throwaway system phaWesker

fleet canopy May 7, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

More like a "Let's see how useless an RTX Titan is"

vapid crypt May 7, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

I was going from the perspective of an individual buying a Titan for gaming even though you don't need that at all

fleet canopy May 7, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Well you're kind of right I guess since it was kind of a throwaway since it's not something anyone's gonna really do

#

Unless bezels were pretty near just not there, and it could be done more easier

rapid plume May 7, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

It was to make as many WORK stations as possible on a single PC

fleet canopy May 7, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

It's just a Quadro without support

#

It's really not worth it imo

#

Even on any sort of uses

#

Because if you can't afford a Quadro for that kind of stuff, at least get a 2080 Ti instead, or two of it

vapid crypt May 7, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

The Quadro RTX 5000 is cheaper than the titan, albeit 8 less gb of vram but I mean considering the perks in workstation use
