[rugged thunder]

I like Nvidia but my wallet doesn't like the prices

[jaunty mango]

Nvidia likes you too

[rugged thunder]

[livid idol]

Don't feel like getting that $1000 3090 ti then I'm guessing

[rugged thunder]

3090ti at 1080p

[livid idol]

I feel bad for anyone that bought a 3090 ti for anywhere close to msrp

[rugged thunder]

At 1440p it seems like amd is the choice that makes more sense

Just gaming mind you

I know productivity is in Nvidia's favour

[livid idol]

Nvidia also gets a significant lead in 4k with their better memory bandwidth

[rugged thunder]

Yeah

"It sits between the 3070 and 6800, at better value then both of them"

Is the quote I'm taking from this video

If you don't care for RT, the 6700xt is a strong high framerate card at 1440p

Considering a 6800 is like

$600ish

Qns the 6700xt is $450

There's this

Dunno much about the 6750xt tho

[livid idol]

If the $50 is worth 5 fps to you (~6%) at 1440 go for it

The screen grabs above are from the 6750 XT review

[rugged thunder]

what if I just OC the 6700xt

Yeah doesn't seem like a large enough jump

Is there a "best model" of 6700xt?

Or nah

[livid idol]

Not really. Just avoid the mech 2x

[rugged thunder]

This a good brand or nah

Or should I go for someone else

[vital oriole]

yep

it's good

[heady turtle]

That's a nice cooler

[rugged thunder]

Looks ugly but if it stays cool

There's one for $30 more

Has next day shipping but I don't think $30 is worth waiting one less day

[heady turtle]

The real value pick is
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/X96p99/sapphire-radeon-rx-6700-10-gb-pulse-video-card-11321-02-20g

If you don't like the power colour there's also
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HWbTwP/gigabyte-radeon-rx-6700-xt-12-gb-eagle-video-card-gv-r67xteagle-12gd

[rugged thunder]

Base 6700 tho

For tbid one

Is the gigabyte one specifically really good?

An xfx model is the same price but faster shipping

[jaunty mango]

Personally shipping doesn’t matter if your getting an objectively better card

[rugged thunder]

Is the gigabyte one just that much better?

[jaunty mango]

Idk

[rugged thunder]

Someone said there wasn't a best 6700xt

[vital oriole]

sapphire pulse is gud

[jaunty mango]

All I know is that typically the different models don’t have a massive difference

[vital oriole]

anything is fine

[jaunty mango]

Besides cooling and vrms

[vital oriole]

but avoid msi mech 2x

for 6700xt lineup

[jaunty mango]

This

[rugged thunder]

I mean if the gigabyte runs coolest or something like that

[jaunty mango]

Some have better cooling and power delivery than others

But unless your over clocking anything with decent cooling will be fine

[rugged thunder]

https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-SWFT309-Graphics-RX-67XTYJFDV/dp/B08YKCC8XD/ref=sr_1_1?crid=39K2RYE69ADNJ&keywords=6700xt&qid=1660152770&s=electronics&sprefix=6700xt%2Celectronics%2C69&sr=1-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c3015c4a-46bb-44b9-81a4-dc28e6d374b3

this was it

The gigabyte looks better visually

[jaunty mango]

Yea

Well it’s kinda up to you

There isn’t a sizeable difference between manufacturers

Besides the msi mech 2x

[rugged thunder]

I currently have a XFX so there could be bias there

[jaunty mango]

lol

Well if you want the xfx and you can get it shipped faster I’d say go for it

[rugged thunder]

I can wait a day

The eagle just looks nicer

[jaunty mango]

Aight

[rugged thunder]

Lemme see if there's any cooling comparisons

[jaunty mango]

Well then get the gigabyte

[jaunty mango]

Yes

[rugged thunder]

If the gigabyte is cooler it's the obvious pick

[jaunty mango]

Yep

I’d imagine you could look at a performance video on both cards and they will show temp graphs

[heady turtle]

6700 is like 3060 ti level like ~5% less than 6700xt

[rugged thunder]

screenshots from a video comparing 6700xt

Although the xfx make in video is a more expensive model then the one I looked at

[heady turtle]

That's temps not perf :o

[rugged thunder]

I know

Temps is what I was wondering about

[heady turtle]

Also stock fan curves suck

[rugged thunder]

I was choosing between the
XFX 6700xt
And
Gigabyte 6700xt

Thermals being a factor

And the gigabyte seems to run pretty cool

dunno why this model specifically is more expensive tho

yuh

Why is one of them $100 more then the rest

and who is buying it

So makes don't seem to matter

some are just better at cooling or less powerdraw

[rugged thunder]

https://youtu.be/IWbuES6VhUU

Everything was fine except cyberpunk (duh) at ultrra

I would play on high tho so

I think this settles it for me

6700xt

[rugged thunder]

Are hellhound cards okay?

Might get the hellhound 6700xt

Cheapest 6700xt on Amazon

$430

[hot folio]

I loved my hellhound

Very solid card

Only thing is it only has blue LEDs

Not RGB

And they’re turned on and off using a switch on the side of the card

[rugged thunder]

I don't care for rgb

Or leds

You think its worth the pricetag?

PowerColor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming Graphics Card with 12GB GDDR6 Memory, Powered by AMD RDNA 2, Raytracing, PCI Express 4.0, HDMI 2.1, AMD Infinity Cache https://a.co/d/b8gIJT8

Very tempting

[hot folio]

It’s below MSRP

[heady turtle]

Is good price

[rugged thunder]

Imma nab it

Try something different then Xfx

"Yeah I want the slower shipping"

[cerulean rover]

Amazon is trying all they can to try and make people put less strain on their logistcs

[rugged thunder]

[tall lichen]

I thought of something. Is it worth the extra $80 for around an extra 14fps?

I'm talking about 6600->6600xt

Granted both are xfx brands

[rugged thunder]

XFX 6600?

Hmmm

Dunno

I have that one

What would that make the xt

$370ish?

[tall lichen]

$340

$260 for the regular

[rugged thunder]

Ah

Jeez that cheap for the non xt now?

Depends on what resolution and games you play tbh

[tall lichen]

Other brands sell it for around $10 less but yeah

[rugged thunder]

1080p? Or 1440p?

[tall lichen]

1080p

[heady turtle]

Nah not really

[tall lichen]

That's what I thought

[rugged thunder]

Yea

6600 is good enough if you keep things at like

High or very high

What games?

[tall lichen]

Iunno

Elden Ring?

FH5 and Spiderman come to mind tho

I did see that I won't get 120+ FPS on Elden Ring but its whatevs at this point

[ivory herald]

Elden Ring is basically locked to 60fps anyways. As if we need 900 fps on a game like that.

[rugged thunder]

Yeah

[tall lichen]

I saw a video that had more frames

[rugged thunder]

And FH5 isn't exactly hard to run

[tall lichen]

Like 90fps

[rugged thunder]

You should be good tbh

[tall lichen]

I don't have the watts for that. Besides isn't power color a bad brand?

[rugged thunder]

They're pretty decent from what I heard

Someone here just said they loved theirs

[rugged thunder]

XFX 6600 is great for 100 watts

I would know

I have one

[tall lichen]

I meant the 6700xt

[ivory herald]

Power color is fine. Probably beats Gigabyte or Zotac at least, but idk for sure.

[tall lichen]

Hmmm

[rugged thunder]

Plus it was for $430

[tall lichen]

I see. Not within my budget

So a 6600 is just fine?

Even if the cheapest 6600xt is $40 more?

Or is the 6600xt a better option?

[rugged thunder]

Yuh

6600 is pretty good

Especially for the power draw

I remember even like a 1660 super drawing more power

Plus I wouldn't call a 6600 a loud card if that matters

[tall lichen]

Mhm

[ivory herald]

1660 Super is 2 yrs older* though.

[rugged thunder]

I know

Just making the comparison

As that is also an 8pin card

That I would assume is near that price range

Dunno

[ivory herald]

Talking wattage though, poor comparison but no big deal. 3060 is 8pin.

[rugged thunder]

1660s is the only other 8pin ive owned

So its what came to mind

[vital oriole]

Powercolor is pretty decent

They only make radeon gpus so people doesn't know em much

[fading glacier]

man, the rumors on moore's law last video are hot

[livid idol]

Most of the Nvidia stuff is up in the air and changing by the week or even by the day

[fading glacier]

ga102 stock is running dry and the most aggressive move will be at the end of august... or so his sources say

if that is true, the announcement will be on early september

hopefully

at least the high end skus, like 3090 and 90tis

[livid idol]

So maybe they'll be launching the same time as AMD. At least the 4090, maybe 4080.

[fading glacier]

he is expecting a substantial cut on 80s and 80tis at the end of august

and the aibs will have to handle the ga104 by themselves

[fading glacier]

yeah if those rumors are true then the 4090 and 80 will be by october as everyone was thinking

it makes sense... in a way, nvidia cant miss holiday season

[vital oriole]

spooky month

spooky launches

perfect month for spicy gpus

[fading glacier]

This is a RUMOR only, not a real announcement

check that out

spicy

[vital oriole]

oversupply go brr

demand suddenly dropping got em big time

big companies can't adjust on a dime

[livid idol]

AMD doesn't have to go much cheaper because they've been the cheaper option for this entire cycle

[vital oriole]

ye

gpus are at better price than ever

but they seem to never go out of stock these days

[livid idol]

Also AMD can more easily reallocate any extra supply they ordered to go to consoles

[vital oriole]

really shows how bad the oversupply is

[rose timber]

I love life

[vital oriole]

a few months ago gpus kept going outta stock lol

like as soon as sales happens

[fading glacier]

if those 3080s drop below 700usd it will be a hard choice :S

[vital oriole]

but it's also tough choice

[fading glacier]

yup

[vital oriole]

cause 40 series launching soon

[livid idol]

4080 might be around that price, it's a hard sell. 4070 is expected to be about the 3090 in performance and should be in that price range too.
AMD equivalents are expected to be very close competition.

[vital oriole]

the heat of competition is rising

if that's true

[fading glacier]

the stakes are high

[vital oriole]

nvidia does have some selling points

better rt (i would still say gimmick rn), nvenc and cuda

[livid idol]

It's amazing that AMD came from the brink of bankruptcy to being competitive in all markets and the sole provider for consoles in such a relatively short time

[vital oriole]

ye

i can't wait for rdna 3

ps5 pro when

[livid idol]

Steam deck 2 when

[fading glacier]

and we dont even know anything about rt/tensor cores on the 40 series

maybe rt will be a thing on that series

[vital oriole]

they're still gonna be better

why would they drop it anyway lol

they're fully committed to rt

[livid idol]

It's effectively second gen RT and should be better than 30 series at least

[vital oriole]

aw

kinda sad

[fading glacier]

maybe we will see third gen rt cores

who knows

[livid idol]

Nvidia is on that... Sort of

With 40 series I mean

[vital oriole]

im probably camping for 4060 mobile?

it seems i won't be able to get a laptop within this year

[fading glacier]

im rooting for a 4070, but i doubt that will be on this year

[livid idol]

Afaik 40 series is just more second gen RT cores

[vital oriole]

amd might have a chance to catch up to that

rt wise

considering their first gen rt managed to eek out 20 series rt perf

[livid idol]

Now we just need games to utilize it properly and efficiently instead of slapping a RT patch over things

[vital oriole]

ye lol

rt is the future but time is what it needs

[fading glacier]

hopefully they will end very competitive vs the 40 series, cause the 6000mt sweet spot kinda killed the mood for the am5... at least for me

[livid idol]

Estimates are we should see photorealistic games around 2026 with current hardware and engine improvement cadence

[fading glacier]

like using 6000/30 series but with future driver updates?

[vital oriole]

2026 sounds feasible

it's like a few gens away

[fading glacier]

oh, 2026 with 2026 hardware

[livid idol]

Unknown, probably more based on highest end 40/50 series stuff

[fading glacier]

yeah 6 years is a lot of time for improvement

[livid idol]

By then we'll be taking about 60 series

[vital oriole]

rasterization kinda coming to its end era

[livid idol]

DX13 when

[fading glacier]

in 6 years maybe dx14

xD

[livid idol]

Probably never now that I think about it. Other stuff is so much more versatile.

[vital oriole]

ye

[livid idol]

Well rumors and leaks suggest the end of this year or early next year for DX13

Then another 2 years before it's standard like DX12 is now

[vital oriole]

imma continue coping with my increasingly outdated 850m

kek

[livid idol]

Vulkan is still infinitely better

[runic crypt]

how long until 3070 is low end?

i hope not for a while

[vital oriole]

5 years i guess

[heady turtle]

Depends on your definition of low end

[hasty sphinx]

6900xt is low end.

[livid idol]

Considering the 1080 is still midrange (3060 level) and the 980 is showing its age 5-6 years seems fair

[heady turtle]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/40-percent-power-reduction-rtx-4080-4070

[odd siren]

What about 4090

[heady turtle]

PL :

[vital oriole]

4090 just depends on the card's pl

[wicked hound]

Nvidia do be getting the tech ready for proper utilization. Mildly sad that tech wont be in games for some years (prolly) tho.

[wicked hound]

Also mildly sad. But hopefully high PL vBIOSes work on any card now, so flash Strix/FTW3 for what's hopefully 450w - 550w PL and not worry about losing ~30% of PL. Also hoepfully XOC vBIOS for 4080, but really unlikely

[heady turtle]

Oh yeah that will be nice

[hybrid maple]

so I found a 3080 on facebook marketplace for $500

is it worth the risk?

[brisk flame]

bring your rig

test it

[hybrid maple]

it's delivery only

can't pick it up

but I like the way you think XD

[odd siren]

Delivery only sounds sus

[fading glacier]

never buy on fb marketplace unless you can see the product in person, working, and along with a friend

fb is a prime site for kidnapping and theft on some places, just saying

delivery only sounds like you will end with jars of sand in your mail 😛

[wicked hound]

PP G&S if shipping is the only thing available.
Also, by delivery you mean then dropping it off at ur house or shipping?

[brisk flame]

hay

[sonic mural]

Pp

[odd siren]

Fish

[heady turtle]

@rugged thunder cmon

Sus emote

[rugged thunder]

I don't see nuffin

You must be seeing things

[hasty sphinx]

@heady turtle is the gaming z trio 3080 12gb good?

the strix is oos and the ftw3 ultra is 900 on amazon

[keen nacelle]

yes, it's one of the best

especially at 770 right now

[heady turtle]

Yes

[hasty sphinx]

to bad it has a mir. I hate those

takes months

[heady turtle]

The mir is only like 30$ iirc

[hasty sphinx]

yeah

[heady turtle]

Baka you can turn mir off in pcpp filters btw would recommend

Aorus master 12gb is 800 again

White tax be like

[hasty sphinx]

is that better than z trio?

[heady turtle]

Z trio and x trio are basically the same card

Unless you mean the Vision

Then no

Vision is gaming oc level card

[hasty sphinx]

no the aorus

they are the same price. I know you shill the auros, but why?

[heady turtle]

Oh yeah aorus is better

It's a chonky boi

Like 3.5 slots or 4 slots thick or something

[hasty sphinx]

do you have a link? Auros in pcpp yields no results

[heady turtle]

Aorus

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/msBG3C/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3080-12gb-lhr-12-gb-aorus-master-video-card-gv-n3080aorus-m-12gd

[hasty sphinx]

nvm

I was spelling wrong lol

oooo

for being black

it looks goood

[heady turtle]

Spelt wrong 😛

Oh it also has screen

[hasty sphinx]

and it's better because it cools better so it can perform better yeah?

[heady turtle]

I mean minimal difference in performance in practice

But cooler/quiter always nice

Also lcd screen hot

[hasty sphinx]

yeah LCD screen is bae

I'm sold

I'm getting it

I'll paint it white

😄

[heady turtle]

Stonks

[heady turtle]

Maybe run it for a few weeks to make sure no issues first

Cuz once it's painted they not gonna like refunds

[hasty sphinx]

welkl of course haha

It wouldn't get painted for a long min if ever

since I'm not gonna have that beautiful sack of crap.

I'll be going custom loop

[heady turtle]

Wdym about the sack of crap?

[hasty sphinx]

the godly looking sack of crap currently sitting in my pc

and I mean godly in the most wonderful sense. I mean sack of crap with the most sincere ugly way you can say it.

[heady turtle]

[hasty sphinx]

the sapphire nitro+ pure is the most beautiful card to me.

but is a pile of steamy poo

sheesh.

[heady turtle]

Ah right

[hasty sphinx]

It looks like they don't ship today?

I was going to pay for the rushed proccessing, but it didn't change my delivery date

[fading glacier]

funny thing about the oos strix, but let me put it from the save later list to the cart... and even pay for it but on a 3-7 days newegg service

[hasty sphinx]

what does 3-7 days newegg service mean?

[fading glacier]

dunno why egg let me

maybe because the restock is the 15th

im just guessing xD

[hasty sphinx]

oo you can even do the 3day?

I did overnight for $10

[fading glacier]

looks like a backorder indeed

cant pay wth ppal, only cc

[hasty sphinx]

ah

Welp, time to pack up both the 3080 12gb and the 6950xt

[fading glacier]

real weird

sad to hear it

[hasty sphinx]

it's aight

I'll just have to use my 1650s until the Aorus comes in on tuesday

[runic crypt]

what cards are considered entry level nowadays?

is the 1050 ti still entry?

[keen nacelle]

imo, I'd consider 1060 6gb/1660/570 8gb entry level at this point

but if you're playing non demanding games, 1050 ti is fine

[runic crypt]

low or entry?

can 1050 ti play switch well

[keen nacelle]

switch?

[runic crypt]

yuzu yea

not a real switch

also are budget and entry-level the same tier in pc builds?

or is budget below entry

[keen nacelle]

considering the switchs gpu is comparable to a potato, it'll be fine

[keen nacelle]

what is your total budget for the build

[runic crypt]

wait the switch is a toaster isnt it

no budget as in the low end

not my own budget

[keen nacelle]

what is the budget for the build

and what country

[runic crypt]

i meant it as a term for office tier

not my amount of money

[keen nacelle]

im so confused

if it's an office pc, why does it need a dgpu

[runic crypt]

its not

im saying weak enough to run a certain point

switch being my high end

[keen nacelle]

this conversation is physically hurting me. what do you need this pc to do

[runic crypt]

sorry

[keen nacelle]

how much do you want to spend

[runic crypt]

it’s meant to be an emulation box

[keen nacelle]

or whoevers paying for it

[runic crypt]

this thing already runs gc/wii

and its in theory

not practice

im planning it for much later

[keen nacelle]

i'd assume 1050 ti would be more than enough

same with 5600g igpu

[runic crypt]

as an “expand dong” for the future

this fightstick has an intel nuc that runs a core i3-5010u

and runs gc/wii already

theyre tiny

sorry for the confusion

[hasty sphinx]

sheesh. 12600k iGPU drivers are 1.1gb

I did not realize I would be having to download such a huge package for them

[fading glacier]

12700f or bust

[hasty sphinx]

@heady turtle my gpu already shipped out 😛

[keen nacelle]

12900ks on h610 or bust

+w1

With no dgpu

Also h212

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TP8Fmr

There

[hasty sphinx]

Ugh. There is such a huge difference between 160 fps and 60 😦

I wish gpu would be here like right now

I feel like I'm lagging with 60 fps. I will never be able to get used to this

[stone siren]

I don't think thermal paste is supposed to do that

[hasty sphinx]

Why do you think that?

[stone siren]

Because it's basically evaporating

[hasty sphinx]

LOL that looks like there was so much on there it all got pushed out the sides.

Evaporating? it's not a liquid.

[stone siren]

Even if i put the right amount on there, it'll still do that

[ivory herald]

This is an example that could be called "too much", otherwise there wouldn't be a ton on the sides.

[hasty sphinx]

and what is the right amount?

are you saying that even when you put the right amount, it squeezes out the sides and looks like a mess?

[heady turtle]

Noice

[forest oasis]

Also while technically thermal paste can "dry", this isn't a case of that lmao

Old thermal paste be crusty

But still a paste

Well, a less functional one

[bright bolt]

Hello I was looking at this card. I know a 3070 will be able to handle things like VR, and high performance games/audio production I am looking for, however I know not all GPU Brands are made equally, some better then others. Does anyone know if there are any defects with this brand of 3070 card?

[tired pilot]

today i got my new rx 6600 and when i play some games in suddenly close

[bright bolt]

Did you install the Adrenaline Software and update to current Drivers?

[tired pilot]

yes

[bright bolt]

Which games are closing?

[tired pilot]

cyberbug 2077

[bright bolt]

God I love that name

But no other games?

[tired pilot]

i think it happend one time in rocket league

but other no

[bright bolt]

Did you previously have the 5000 series of AMD cards?

[tired pilot]

no

i had intel uhd 750

[bright bolt]

Back when the 5700XT came out the drivers were garbage, and i blue screened a lot. I could not play some games such as space engineers until better drivers released.

[tired pilot]

thats sad

[bright bolt]

This is just my experience, but I would bet that the drivers are just bad right now.

[tired pilot]

so how can i check if my gpu is ok ?

it just arrived yesterday and im really scared

lul

[bright bolt]

Can you play other high-end, or demanding programs without crashing?

[tired pilot]

i think so

is eldin ring demanding ?

[bright bolt]

I would say so.

[tired pilot]

i have 50$ left

i can buy a game so we can try

[bright bolt]

Ehhh can you avoid paying for a game?

[tired pilot]

sure

[bright bolt]

Play a few different games if you can. If others crash your GPU may have a potential defect, but my money is on bad drivers.

[tired pilot]

i will try that

thanks mate

[bright bolt]

Oh right one more thing my drivers are crashing in Apex Legends. Had a crash report the other day, and today my game stutters sometimes like it wants to crash. I have the 5700XT.

[tired pilot]

bruh

why amd drivers are so bad

this is not the first time i hear someone saying the same

[bright bolt]

Because AMD doesn't have as refined drivers as Nvidia.

They can produce a card, but the software engineers put code with hopes and dreams entangled in the spaghetti nightmare that is their code.

[tired pilot]

mybe i should spend that 100$ diff for the rtx 3060

[bright bolt]

I mean the Adrenaline Software is pretty nice compared to Nvidia... when it loads... and not under heavy load.... oh no...

You selling? One of my streamers is in the market fir a 3000 series card.

Are they heavily used?

We can talk details when you are ready to sell

Right right

[rugged thunder]

GPU wise, is there anything I need to change in the bios?

Went from a 6600 to a 6700xt

Ah alright

[rugged thunder]

Trying out the 6700xt

Extremely happy so far

Runs cooler then the 6600

Runs quieter

Runs GTAV fast enough to make it stutter when the 6600 struggled to hit 100fps

[stone siren]

Bruh what

My 3060Ti struggles on that game. Not sure if it's my CPU or the GPU itself

[pine knot]

what settings?

[rugged thunder]

Very high

[pine knot]

ah ok

the 6600 any good?

[rugged thunder]

I mean it was impressive for a 1080p card to do decently at 1440p

Yeah

It's definitely geared for 1080p

But CAN do 1440p semi well

[pine knot]

ok i wanna play 1080

[rugged thunder]

Just don't expect cyberpunk at high at 1440p

[pine knot]

yeah no i’m fine with 1080

[rugged thunder]

A 6600 rn is what

$300 brand new

[pine knot]

yeah fairly inexpensive

[rugged thunder]

It's better then Nvidia at that price range at least

What is it

A 3050?

[vital oriole]

it's also actually below 300 kek

around 250 is easily doable

yep

6600 faster

[rugged thunder]

Oh fr?

Damn

6600 stays winning

[normal hawk]

Rommy what GPU's you got now

Can I have the 6800xt as a gift

[rugged thunder]

On r/hardwareswap I could probably get a child for $90 and a mcdouble

[normal hawk]

😅

So

Oh

Oof

[stiff finch]

Would you guys play games with Ray Tracing 4K max settings in demanding games like Cyberpunk or Dying Light 2? (With cards like a 3080-3090 ti)

This one dude I was talking to was trying to convince me Nvidia can do Ray Tracing pretty well in 4K with ultra or max settings

[keen nacelle]

If you enjoy 2 fps, yes

[stiff finch]

Lmao exactly. It was literally one of my worst conversation of my life, even outside of GPUs topic.

[vital oriole]

haha

that's a great joke

rt at 4k, hell no

[heady turtle]

Cards barely to ray tracing in 1440p let alone 4k

[sullen panther]

Maybe with dlss

[stiff finch]

Well, with CP2077, RT performance with dlss ultra is like mid 40s to low 50s with a 3090.

[keen nacelle]

4k gaming is a meme

[vital oriole]

^

[stiff finch]

Yeah, which is why I got 1440p instead

[vital oriole]

1440p is the highest that makes sense rn

[keen nacelle]

i just bought an m27q-x

was on an amazing sale

[sullen panther]

I play on 4k for the meme :)

I don't play fps games and fast paced games so meh

I dont use ray tracing most of the time

[heady turtle]

Fps games are usually the ones actually most likely to be playable at 4k due to a cpu bottleneck

[sullen panther]

I feel like most fps players would rather to play 1080/1440p 120hz or more than use a 4k monitor

But yeah it would be most likely able to run on 4k like you said

[rugged thunder]

Or at 1440p

1440p is probably the ideal resolution for alot of builds

Unless you play esports

[normal hawk]

4k is great for open world rpgs, survival games, etc

[heady turtle]

In esports you're usually playing with a cpu bottleneck so unless it's an older gpu 1440p will be usually just as good

[livid idol]

If you want to get a separate monitor for those games go ahead but most people play more than that. Setting a non-native resolution when playing other games hurts image quality, ie 1440p set on a 4k monitor.

[oblique path]

i cant afford 3090 ti 😭

ill just buy a gt 710 😈

[livid idol]

If you need something to display a picture while you wait for next gen that's not a bad option

[rugged thunder]

What about an igpu

In a cpu

Aren't those getting meh

Or are the 710s still better

[oblique path]

ill just use a potato

[livid idol]

Intel's iGPU is getting comparable to the 1030, AMD is well past that

[oblique path]

amd > intel any day

[livid idol]

For graphics absolutely

[oblique path]

yes

[rugged thunder]

https://youtu.be/WDtY26vy32Q

[oblique path]

he must be on that stuff bro

[livid idol]

30 fps steady is considered "playable"

60 is possible in a lot of games with the 5700g if you do 1080p low

[oblique path]

can the anti-gpu run crisis is the real question

[normal hawk]

No duh

I have a 4k, an UW(1440p) and a 1080p monitor.

I don't get why having multiple monitors is a big issue apparently? I can play games at the resolution I want.

[oblique path]

yes my gpu is so fast it makes me fast irl

[rugged thunder]

Mainly space

Even small monitors take alot of room

[livid idol]

Let's not have any potential violence involved please

[oblique path]

play on the monitor of a digital pregnancy test

[normal hawk]

Maybe one day

[oblique path]

when school starts ima use their crappy stem kits and program doom

[livid idol]

They did doom on a Lego brick

[normal hawk]

They hypothetically played doom on crabs

[oblique path]

LOL WHAT

[normal hawk]

Theoretically

[normal hawk]

16 billion crabs. It'll happen one day

Play doom on one of those etch-a-sketches

[oblique path]

ill play doom on the screens on those AIO coolers

[normal hawk]

That's easy

[oblique path]

true

[hasty pulsar]

im upgrading my gpu from a 2060 to a 1030

[fading glacier]

video

[livid idol]

At 1080p? Just about anything
1440p is a little trickier

[lone pond]

a 1060 can run cyberpunk at 50-60

gotta turn down the Texture load

looks great tho

[pine knot]

what can a 1660 super run? (1080p)

[heady turtle]

depends what your standards are for run and what detail settings

[pine knot]

oh lord asking for a friend who’s building a pc

hold on

what i’ve gathered is he just wants to be able to run games smoothly

he had a 1050ti with his i3 12100 and kept having fps drop

@heady turtle

[heady turtle]

what games

make sure they have xmp on

[pine knot]

he got rid of the 1050ti but when i watched him play and his fps kept dropping he was playing fortnite so now he wants a 1660 super(fits his budget) but wants to know how much better it will be, he plays (warzone,fortnite, and minecraft)

[cosmic bluff]

What is his budget for the GPU if you don't mind us asking could help choose a possibly better GPU if its in their budget

[pine knot]

200 but i’m going to help him out a little

(CAD)

[cosmic bluff]

Trying to find an alternative but am not seeing one in that budget and a 1660 on 1080 can run most modern games on medium to high settings around 60-120fps depends on title

[pine knot]

so that should be good for him

[cosmic bluff]

Most definitely

[pine knot]

i’m working on getting myself a 6600 or rtx 2060

[cosmic bluff]

6600

[pine knot]

but ima help him out a little

[pine knot]

that’s what i’m thinking

[cosmic bluff]

Or if you prefer to have dlss which helps in a lot of games would be the 2060 or a 2070 which I've seen some in a decent price on eBay

[pine knot]

what is dlss??

[cosmic bluff]

if you wish to upscale quality while gaining a little performance Deep learning super sampling is what dlss is

renders games lower quality then upscales them through ai to give that boost basically

[pine knot]

well basically i just want a gpu that will run my games fine on 1080p lol

[cosmic bluff]

i wanna say fsr is the amd equivalent but im not too clear on amd and ive seen ghosting issues like crazy on fsr

but a 6600 would do in your case

[pine knot]

i play like cold war forza etc etc

[subtle radish]

Hi all, looking for a GPU suggestion.

We recently bought this prebuilt PC from BestBuy - it was a HP Omen 3700X RTX2060 which we got a decent price on during black Friday.
The PC has been great for just over 1 year when the GPU would turn all screens black when loading a game that requires a decent amount of GPU. We tried lots of troubleshooting from online resources to no avail, and then decided to take it into a PC repair shop for diagnosis. He did some stress tests ( $150 charge ) and come to the conclusion the GPU was causing the issues. It's been a month or so now and the same issues occur. We are now looking to purchase a new graphics card that will be compatible with this prebuild spec, and somewhat the same (or slightly better) than the RTX2060 originally built. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Full specs of the PC purchased are below:
HP OMEN - 30L Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7-Series - 3700X - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD - Black (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-omen-30l-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-series-3700x-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2060-1tb-hdd-256gb-ssd-black/6402514.p)
Price range of GPU desired - $400-$700

[cerulean rover]

damn, charging 150$ for stress tests that are probably free lol

[cerulean rover]

Might as well get a better PSU too while you're at it, but you can do 3070 and a nice psu
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CC36XXC
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CRLXL76

[subtle radish]

Tysm for the suggestion. Would this GPU fit in the pc straight away? Do we need to buy the GPU holder? or just the GPU and buy additional items(holder/riser) after if needed

[cerulean rover]

Don't need GPU holder riser support bracket or anything, the prebuilt listing doesn't list clearance but a dual fan model should still fit easily

[subtle radish]

Again, tysm. We appreciate your help. Just a question - do you know if ASUS GPU bought on Amazon still grants warranty's? Just dont want a repeat occurrence

[cerulean rover]

Yes, same warranty process as usual

You'd contact Asus for warranty anyways, not Amazon

[tired pilot]

my new rx 6600 will shut the game after 15-20 minutes of playing
i have tested it with furmark for 20 min and it was ok

i have the newest driver]

anyone know how to fix it ?

[orchid loom]

What's GPU core and vram speeds what makes gpu faster or do they both make it fast

[vital oriole]

both

[orchid loom]

Okay

[modest reef]

Anything in event logs?

[keen nacelle]

what're the temps like

and have you ddud

[tired pilot]

yes

and temps below 76

[keen nacelle]

what games?

[tired pilot]

i dont know how to see it

[tired pilot]

almost every game

[keen nacelle]

and what cpu do you have?

[tired pilot]

i5 11500

[modest reef]

is everything running stock?

[tired pilot]

yes

but xmp

is enabled

[modest reef]

It could be memory

[keen nacelle]

does it happen to be corsair ram and or two different kits

and do games just close or are you blue screening

[tired pilot]

no its 2x8 pny

[keen nacelle]

so unlikely mixed dies

[tired pilot]

just close and some times restart

[keen nacelle]

what psu?

[tired pilot]

its

cooler master mwe white 650w

[keen nacelle]

this one?

[tired pilot]

https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing-Silent-Single/dp/B083LBPS4K

this one

[keen nacelle]

could possibly be psu

[tired pilot]

i used the same build for 1.6 years

on the intel uhd

[keen nacelle]

yeah, uhd uses a lot less power

also try rolling back drivers

[tired pilot]

how do i rolling back drivers ?

[keen nacelle]

if that doesn't work, I'd probably suggest a new psu

[tired pilot]

mybe its because the gpu ?

but it run ok in furmark

[keen nacelle]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-6000-series/amd-radeon-6600-series/amd-radeon-rx-6600 download an old version

[tired pilot]

there is only 2

[keen nacelle]

5/10

months old

that works

[tired pilot]

:(

man this is sad

i saved up for a year

@keen nacelle what should i do ?

[keen nacelle]

wdym

[tired pilot]

is it fix able ?

or should i change the psu

or the gpu

[keen nacelle]

can wait for someone elses opinion, but likely replace psu

does anyone you know locally have a pc of their own?

[tired pilot]

no

sadly

[modest reef]

Is it any game, or a specific game?

[keen nacelle]

any game they said

seems like psu to me

[modest reef]

Search 'event viewer' in the start menu.

On the left side, you should see some filters.

Expand windows logs, click on each of the categories, most likely application or system and see if you see any messages with error in the right side. It'll have a red circle with an exclamation point.

Yeah, if you don't see errors, it could be the PSU

[wicked hound]

PSU would cause Kernal Power 41 error

I'd also try repairing Windows, or reinstalling it.
sfc /scannow && dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

In CMD admin

[tired pilot]

sorry fuys i slept yesterday

@wicked hound @modest reef @keen nacelle

[velvet grail]

Does anyone happen to have a GTX 1080 windforce 3x / OC?
I need some precise measurements for the card to make an adequate case

If yes here are the measurements + thickness

[wheat crag]

Just look it up

[velvet grail]

There are not those precise measurements

[wheat crag]

Pretty sure someone has something on measurements

[velvet grail]

I have searched...

Didn't found

[wheat crag]

Did u try Reddit

[velvet grail]

Didn't found any

[wheat crag]

A yt review might have measurements

But I doubt anyone here has the card or measure it

[velvet grail]

Could you help me finding one?

[wheat crag]

I can try

[velvet grail]

I'll ask if anyone has this card

[wheat crag]

11 x 4.5 x 1.6 inches

@velvet grail

[velvet grail]

I know those but I need the ones in the second photo

Precise

I guess the PCIe slot is 12cm

That's always the same length right?

[livid idol]

Yes the slot is standardized

[wheat crag]

I’m pretty sure that’s standard

[velvet grail]

And then I need the little part over the top of the PCIe slot

Is it 5mm? 1cm? More, less?

That one is important

I guess there are no precise measurements online, I'll just pretend it is 1cm

I still don't get why they keep sliding the PCIe slot part
It's like sustaining ½ of the GPU

It's like 4 m lower from the top of the card

Is it because of the thiccness

Thicc cards

[vital oriole]

it's the shroud

[velvet grail]

THICCCC

[fading glacier]

if you want the card to make measurments to make the case then why dont you buy the card first and take measurments yourself with the card at hand... i mean, you sound like you want to build your case around this card? just saying

[tired pilot]

there was nothing

[blissful gale]

o

[stone siren]

I did something correctly for once

Remember to use an image of the back of the card to avoid parallax error

[drifting sequoia]

Good evening everyone, I wanted a recommendation and which one is best for me to buy a graphics card, it would be the first one I buy and I want to start well, I have 3 options for now, among those are the 6600 xt, 6700 and the 3060, which one suits me best? I have a ryzen 5 3400 g, 16 ram 3200mhz and I want it more than anything to dedicate games and software for the university where I study.

[odd siren]

3400G is a bit of a push but you could likely run a 6700 with it

I think you'd be best sticking with a 6600 XT and staying on 1080p imo

[hasty sphinx]

But.. 1440 man

[odd siren]

But depending on the software you're using at uni? A 3060 might be a better idea (e.g CAD or video production)

[hasty sphinx]

Hm.

I wonder what his budget is.

[odd siren]

Maybe even a used 2070

[hasty sphinx]

Because maybe he could get a little cpu upgrade on top of a good gpu so there is no chance of bottleneck?

[odd siren]

Depends how much they're willing to spend

If it's a big cut of the gpu budget it's likely not worth it

[hasty sphinx]

Yeah true.

[odd siren]

Otherwise sure, 5600 sounds good

[hasty sphinx]

Just seems like it'd be worth it for him to upgrade his cpu along with his gpu for what he wants to use it for.

[odd siren]

Also worth knowing what psu you have @drifting sequoia ?

[drifting sequoia]

650w bronze

[odd siren]

Model? Specific name and model would help

[drifting sequoia]

XPG Probe 600W 80 Plus Bonze

sorry its 600w

[odd siren]

Ok and your budget?

[drifting sequoia]

The minimum is 350 and the maximum would be 450

only on the card

[odd siren]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DgHWmr
This
OR
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h9MCLs
This

@drifting sequoia

I highly suggest replacing the psu, it's marked in the avoid tier (i.e no guarantee if it'll last especially if you push it to the limit with a new GPU)

[heady turtle]

G6 is unfortunately back up to 80$

[odd siren]

Oof

Well G5 is fine just loud

[drifting sequoia]

wow that is something unexpected I think that even being a non-generic font and being bronze plus it is somewhat disappointing

[heady turtle]

80+ doesn't actually have anything to do with psu quality, just how efficient it is at converting AC to DC power

[drifting sequoia]

So what should I look for first to know that the source will be durable and safe?

I say it is not that with this source I have grabbed it like crazy but it came already included with the XPG cabinet

[odd siren]

We use the cultists network for psu recommendations. They collate a huge list of reviews, first-hand experience and knowledge under one umbrella. It's a citable source because of how thorough it is compared to anything else on the internet
https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[drifting sequoia]

ty man

how am I going to buy a powerful graphics card and it is my first I want to know more about it and what wonders I can do since it will be my co-worker

[magic wing]

You are in the US right?

Mm nope

Anyone know if l have to buy a new cpu when l hook up my new 3050 graphics card that l just got recently? The current cpu l have is a 5600g since l couldn’t get a gpu for a long time

[tired pilot]

if any one buying the rx 6600 asrock challenger
I bought the card three days ago and it works but it shuts down the games after 20 minutes without any reason with blue screen problems. Never buy this card.
plz dont buy it

[keen nacelle]

No you don't

[keen nacelle]

That's not a gpu issue

That sounds like either a ram or windows issue

And did you ddu?

[tired pilot]

i did do ddu 4 times

and 2 fully windows format

and i used the ram before the gpu for intel uhd and it was good

[keen nacelle]

What ram is it

[tired pilot]

pny

[keen nacelle]

What speed

[tired pilot]

8x2

3200

[keen nacelle]

And have you run an sfc/scannow?

[tired pilot]

no

what is that

[keen nacelle]

Open command prompt as admin

It scans system files for corrupted files

[tired pilot]

ok ?

what should i type ?

[keen nacelle]

Is that windows 11?

[tired pilot]

no

10

[keen nacelle]

Sfc/scannow

Cmd prompt looks different from mine on w10, weird

[tired pilot]

idk

@keen nacelle

look

it runs good in furmark for 20 minutes

and i can game

but when i change reslution game crash

i used a trash tv

mybe thats why

[keen nacelle]

Wait

Aren't you thr dude with the bad psu

[tired pilot]

i know a tech youtuber friend said its not the psu

[keen nacelle]

And did he tell you what the issue is?

[tired pilot]

no sadly :(

[keen nacelle]

Exactly

[tired pilot]

but he think its driver

issue

[past steeple]

Ok thank you

[hasty sphinx]

But it isn't. We've established that with DDU. If you have a bad PSU it's sounding like it's not supplying enough power to your gpu causing it to bluescreen.

[tired pilot]

its 650w

[hasty sphinx]

What psu do you have? Telling me its 650w means nothing.

[tired pilot]

in case its not enough

anyway its cooler master

mwe white

@hasty sphinx

[keen nacelle]

It's low priority C iirc

Definitely bad enough to cause these issues

[keen nacelle]

There is a lot more to power supplies than wattage my dude

The psu is ass

And it is likely causing the issue

[tired pilot]

i can refund the gpu and save more so i can buy the gpu again and a new psu

[hasty sphinx]

Thats a really crappy psu and I am willing to bet thats the cause of your issue. Instead of getting new gpu. Spend the little amount for a better psu and I'm sure your problems will be fixed.

[hasty sphinx]

Keep the gpu. Just buck up and shell out the little bit of $ for a better psu.

[tired pilot]

what should i buy ?

[keen nacelle]

G5 650 if you want it to be modular, otherwise asus tuf 550 is a bit cheaper

[tired pilot]

https://www.quadrastores.com/index.php/home/products/13/

can you chose from here

[hasty sphinx]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3gJmP6/evga-g5-650-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-220-g5-0650-x1

[tired pilot]

and dont worry it kuwaiti computer store that offer free installing so thats why i want to buy it from there

[tired pilot]

there is not a huge diff

wow

[hasty sphinx]

I.. would rather install my own parts.

[tired pilot]

in price

[tired pilot]

nah im ass in that case

[hasty sphinx]

In price no. In quality, there is a huge difference.

[tired pilot]

:(

[keen nacelle]

How much of your currency=100 usd

If you know

If not I can Google it

About 31

[tired pilot]

30 is 100 us dollar

i dont think they have good things :(

[keen nacelle]

These two seem to be the best ones I can find for the price https://www.quadrastores.com/index.php/home/product_view/7170/NZXT-C550-Bronze-550W-Semi-Modular-Power-Supply-Unit
https://www.quadrastores.com/index.php/home/product_view/6871/Cooler-Master-MWE-750W-Bronze-V2-230V-Power-Supply-Unit

Either will be fine, nzxt one is cheaper

[tired pilot]

wait

isnt this the same ?

[keen nacelle]

No

The bronze v2 is a different model

It's a lot better quality

[tired pilot]

what should i do with the other one ?

[keen nacelle]

I mean, can sell it but not sure you'll get much for it

Seeing as it's only good for igpu builds

[tired pilot]

that make sense ...

@keen nacelle can i add you ?

u helped me a lot

[keen nacelle]

I have about 150 friends that I don't talk to

I try not to add people I don't actually know anymore

[tired pilot]

np

[hasty sphinx]

Keep it just in case something were to ever happen to the new one you get. Would be a backup for your PC, however if you were to ever use it as such, I'd recommend not hooking up your GPU until you get a new PSU.

[drifting sequoia]

some tips when installing my graphics card and what can I do to make it last a long time and take advantage of it?

[keen nacelle]

Do not put liquid on it

[drifting sequoia]

ok

[sinful root]

6700 XT with 12400F is good pairing?

[heady turtle]

Yes

[random zinc]

What mob u using

[velvet grail]

I have a small question to fill a knowledge gap... What gives more bandwidth (usually double than previous gen) to pcie interfaces? Like 4.0 16x has double the bandwidth as 3.0 16x
But is there like a faster clock on the PCIe bus?

Or is it something completely different?

[livid idol]

The PCI bus speed is usually tied to the base clock iirc

So if you overclock bclk the bus speed goes up too

[velvet grail]

The typical 100MHz

?

[livid idol]

Yes

[velvet grail]

But how is 4.0 on all PCIe lanes double bandwidth compared to 3.0

[livid idol]

Certain high end Intel boards with the external clock generator can separate the PCI from bclk too

[velvet grail]

So it's like a multiplier?

Like the CPU one

[livid idol]

Sort of, it's what the multiplier is multiplied by

[velvet grail]

Because I've read on some website that 6.0 uses 52GHz freq

😳

[livid idol]

I'm not an engineer so I couldn't tell you, but I do know some places don't use the right terms. They'll say 3200 MHz when it's actually 3200 MT/s for example.

[velvet grail]

Ive found this

[velvet grail]

They said both 52MT/s and 52GHz

52ghz sounds pretty unbelievable

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/what-we-know-about-pcie4,39063.html

[livid idol]

So what I said still stands, bclk is what the multiplier is multiplied by

And the PCI bus is usually the thing that keeps you from going above 105 bclk

[velvet grail]

Yes, I've read also it can't go past 125 usually

Mhz

It has to be between 100 and 125 but different websites say different things

[livid idol]

125 is under LN2, without mods you're usually doing 103-106

On boards with the external clock gen I've seen bclk 160

Straight up 60% overclock on a 12400

I kinda got how PCIe works
Each lane is one bit wide, 16lanes = 16bits = 2bytes. Considering each version has a fixed data transfer rate (apparently given by the clock generated through BCLK multiplier), example: 4.0 16x is 16GT/s, since it's two bytes you want to multiply that by 2 and you get about 32GB/s (31.5)
All this for one direction (either input or output)

If I install a gpu update on an eGPU do I need to disable the laptops integrated graphics first?

[livid idol]

Do you mean driver or firmware?

[dense cliff]

Graphics Driver

It keeps defaulting to iGPU and saying the connected gpu has a problem and rolls back to windows basic display driver.

[livid idol]

Sounds like it could be DDU time

!ddu

[livid idol]

Remove both sets of GPU drivers and don't let it connect to the internet after you reboot. Then install the eGPU driver first.

[dense cliff]

Gotcha will try

[dense cliff]

Well it shows up correctly in device manager now :D but the laptop interface im using is so old that it doesn't know how much gpu memory is on the card or what to call it

[livid idol]

Run dxdiag and it'll give you more details on that, including how much system memory can be allocated to the iGPU

Can you notice a difference between 120fps and 165 fps?

This is related to a convo about video card performance that we had in the cooling section

I believe the human eye is ultimately the limiter of this

so what is the point of a video card that plays games at 240fps?

[jaunty mango]

I’m pretty sure it’s just game responsiveness

Like the game is updating faster

Even though your eye only “refreshes” slower than that if you click there’s less latency

Or atleast it reduces one of the factors of click to action latency

Best card for $500-$600?

Just gaming

Maybe workstation actually

But gaming mostly

[odd siren]

Prolly 3070

[full bough]

Thanks

[sinful root]

Not sure let

[heady turtle]

Would usually recommend msi b660(m) a pro

[random zinc]

Can you run a 12600k non oc?

[heady turtle]

Yes ofc k just means you have the ability to oc

[livid idol]

We often recommend the 12600k with a B660 here if you're not overclocking because you get the extra cores

[hasty sphinx]

How do I override a gpu's 0rpm mode?

[heady turtle]

Set custom fan curve

[hasty sphinx]

I did, but it's doing the same thing the TUF was doing to me. The reason I returned it.

[heady turtle]

Hmm

How are you doing it exactly?

[hasty sphinx]

anything below 45% it shuts fans off and it's reading 1300rpm at 70% on a 3000rpm fan

[heady turtle]

Have you ddu'd and unonstalled afterburner?

[hasty sphinx]

yes

[heady turtle]

That's weird
