Does the version of the 6400 matter, like the specific vendor?
lone pond
6400/6500 cards shouldn't exist honestly
?
odd siren
O.o
lone pond
are we talking about the amd gpus?
yes
fading glacier
6400 is a crap card, you can get a used 1060 for less and it will give you more performance
dont waste money on that
same applies for the 6500
last gen cards starts at the 6600 fo real
everything below that should be used market territory
lone pond
6400 is a crap card, you can get a used 1060 for less and it will give you more ...
I already have a 570, that has issues
I just want something with native hdmi
and like similar enough perf
fading glacier
a 6400 should end as a downgrade
lone pond
and it being lp/75w is cool to me 🤷♀️
fading glacier
sidegrade at best
lone pond
a 6400 should end as a downgrade
not really looking for an upgrade
if my 570 worked fine and had native hdmi
I'd be keeping it
fading glacier
well, at least you now know it
in that case go ahead, as for your question... no, brands wont matter on that card
lone pond
alright
hasty sphinx
same applies for the 6500
That 6500/580 8gb be holding up to MWII though.
velvet grail
Do intel GPUs actually boost only in dx12 games or is it all about drivers and optimization? Cuz a750 for 250€ looks noice and apparently performs almost as good as 3060
vital oriole
that's not true, all gpus run at boost clock no matter what load lol
velvet grail
No... Didn't mean boots in term of clocks. My bad, I meant as performance boost cuz I saw many benchmarks and compared to other graphics card (like the 3060) it easily beats in terms of performance but apparently it does only in dx12 games
Basically what I saw is 3060<a750 (dx 12 & vulkan)
And 3060>a750 (dx11 or lower)
heady turtle
They've gotten some huge perf games recently in dx11 and 9 I think it is, deff a valid choice but only if you're okay with the drivers being bleh and don't mind tinkering and you basically have to have resizeable bar
heady turtle
Woah this data is really weird
fallen thorn
can anyone help me i have a 600 watt power unit and i am looking for a gpu that can run escape from tarkov and rust but is on the budget side
i have a gtx 1650 currently
fallen thorn
ive got a evga psu and i have a i5 9600kf for cpu
heady turtle
what model though, evga like most power supply companies they make some great ones, some terrible ones and some okay ones
fading glacier
and your budget for a gpu? 😛
keen nacelle
Best case scenario it's bq br or gq
fallen thorn
what model though, evga like most power supply companies they make some great on...
let me check the box quick
keen nacelle
Worst it's w1 or b1
fallen thorn
it says 80 standard
fallen thorn
why whats wrong with it
heady turtle
its just a very bad power supply
fallen thorn
what makes it bad
keen nacelle
It catches fire very easily
fallen thorn
Mine doesnt look like that though
heady turtle
under any load you would want a graphic card to pull although i had one for years on a like 150w gpu i would try sell it for cheap and just buy a new one and a slightly worse possible gpu
heady turtle
Mine doesnt look like that though
you can send me a dm of the pic if you want
actually
you just ranked up
you can send here
fallen thorn
nevermind it is mine
wicked hound
Always remember from now on, it's always about 
. Lots of reputable companies make bad products, some even potentially dangerous. The W and N series from EVGA are some truly bad PSUs.
heady turtle
whats your country and budget
wicked hound
Also what's the budget for the replacement PSU? Might help if you can return current one.
keen nacelle
Could you sell the 1650 to add to the budget?
fallen thorn
nah the budget is the 1650
fallen thorn
sounds good then
keen nacelle
I'd try for a used 2070/super/5700/xt
fallen thorn
okay
keen nacelle
Idk the market in the UK though
So that could be overshooting
1080 is probably doable
fallen thorn
okay ill try
wicked hound
nah the budget is the 1650
Is that 1650 or 1650S? If non S, seems like the 6500xt is in your budget and is equal to 1650S.
vital oriole
not worth it
fallen thorn
im not sure then
heady turtle
uk and about 150 pounds to 200
Honestly save a bit more or sell your 1650 and add that money on top
vital oriole
^
fallen thorn
i might
heady turtle
The one you have is honestly the best gpu you can get for 200 because you'll hardly get an upgrade
fallen thorn
i just need a gpu that run escape from tarkov
heady turtle
About £300 is where you'll actually see a big increase (assuming new)
And you wouldn't get that much for a 1650 btw maybe like £80
faint zealot
so im finding conflicting answers online. i just got a 4090 gaming x trio and im using the 12vhpwr corsair cable with a RM1000x. atm it works, but ive read that i should have the 1200w model to get the full 600w from the cable... will running the 1000w with that cable limited the voltage for the card? like i said ive been gaming with it for a week and haven't noticed anything. i just dont want to ruin the GPU lol
fallen thorn
its a 100 pounds
heady turtle
what about a rx 570
basically same gpu perf wise
vital oriole
people are just playing it too safe
faint zealot
ya i know 1000w is plenty, just didnt know if the cable would mess with it.
faint zealot
since im not using that stupid pig tail thing they give you
vital oriole
that works too, but like corsair's 12vhpwr works okay
just like any connectors like these, you only have to make sure it's connected properly
faint zealot
ya it is, not pressed on glass and fully seated
vital oriole
you're good then
faint zealot
thank you, just wasnt sure since people are back and forth on it. i believe corsair says the 12vhpwr needs 1200w for 4090 but its been working fine for me with the 1000w. just didnt want to damage the card in anyway
wicked hound
so im finding conflicting answers online. i just got a 4090 gaming x trio and im...
The 12+4P cable has two sense cables to detect the rating the plugged in cable is. If no sense pins are there the connector is limited to 150w, if one sense pin (in left?) is there the connector is limited to 300w, if one sense pin (in right?) is there the connector is limited to 450w, if both sense pins are there the connector is limited to 600w. The wattage limit is based on giving a current limit and is device controller (controlled by GPU). If you want to know the config, send a pic of the cable at GPU.

atm i am at work, i can certainly snap a pic of it when i get home though.
tbh im just not used to owning anything like the 4090. usually get the (70) cards or mid gaming cards, which i never really worried about the psu wattage as much. and now since the 30 and 40 series with the pig tail adapter and central connector, using the 12vhpwr cable is easier to work with and looks cleaner.
wicked hound
^ The left is pinout from the 12phpwr connector, which is what you probably want to use when thinking about perspective. The right is pinout from the cable itself, but the cable will be facing away from you so pinout will be inverted (which makes it same as left).

Rozetka? Vilka? (Sorry, I read Cyrillic but don't understand the language here)

I have the silver stone HELA 850R it has that built pin

What's been up with Youtube recommending such old videos lately
2/3 things on my feed are from 3+ years ago
I had to scroll down just to get today's videos
lone pond
Got a mobile 3060. Pretty neat. Around 5% lower performance than a normal 3060 at stock, and about 5% better than a normal 3060 when overclocked. Ofc overclock to overclock a normal one would still win. Either way, for a 55w part it's extremely impressive
fading glacier
a repurposed 3060m hmmm... i think you will have a rough time getting drivers on that
livid idol
Is that related to those GPUs that they found were using used parts sold as new?
I know it was something to do with no name brands on Ali
livid idol
Huh. Well it worked for others why not.
odd siren
lone pond
ya, just no official drivers for ya
wouldn't you just use the 3060m ones? 🤔
lone pond
that's an interesting thing to exist tho
livid idol
Different PCI ID so no regular drivers will detect it
vital oriole
^
livid idol
You could in theory but you'd kill the perf
odd siren
I mean it's cockamamy enough at this point already lol
oak rivet
Can't you just use the drivers you would use on the laptop?
vital oriole
like i said
odd siren
Nope
vital oriole
no
odd siren
As been said the pci id wouldn't pop up
livid idol
you can just mod latest official bios
Nvidia makes them encrypt the vbios though, nearly impossible to mod them now
livid idol
It's been that way for years
vital oriole
but somehow the chinese managed to make one lol
odd siren
But if you took the eprom out of the laptop as well and swapped it 
vital oriole
it's not latest driver but it works
well it would probably brick the card if we do that
odd siren
You're doing bga with the card anyway
livid idol
Driver mods are easier than vbios mods, all they really need to do is add their PCI ID to the list with a couple flags
livid idol
Assuming there isn't critical bugs with their implementation of the hardware yeah
vital oriole
also there's this thing of people flashing diff vbios of same gpu from different laptops
just to get extra boost wattage
i don't think it's safe tbh, the vrms might not be made up to the task of providing extra juice
and stock power adapter won't be able to supply enough power
lone pond
Can't you manually power limit if that serves to be an issue
vital oriole
nah, not that easily on laptops
livid idol
I wonder if throttlestop would do that in this case
solid glacier
Whats a program to test my ram if its bad or not
fading glacier
memtest?
lone pond
^
wicked hound
Nvidia makes them encrypt the vbios though, nearly impossible to mod them now
"encrypted" is just a few specially placed checksums. Certain things like powertables can sometimes if not always be modded if you want to spend the time looking for the checksum locations and the area they are looking at.
Already a few confirmed cases of successful PL vBIOS mods
fallen thorn
is the rx 580 or 590 good?
fallen thorn
is it a upgrade from a gtx 1650 cuz i can get a 2nd hand one for 120 and a rx 590 for 140
or i can get a rx 580 for 95
vital oriole
it is an upgrade, but i would just save up for something better
oak rivet
aim for a 3060 under 300 or 6600xt
vital oriole
even a 6600 is a big upgrade
i don't think someone with a 1650 will benefit much going higher
odd siren
Granted the monitor they're probably using yeah
vital oriole
^
lone pond
a repurposed 3060m hmmm... i think you will have a rough time getting drivers on...
Nope, it's really simple actually. You just mod an inf file, although I cba to do it myself so I let the guy who runs the frankenGPU project do it
lone pond
you can only use custom driver made by the sellers you buy from on aliexpress
Not true
vital oriole
it would work, but how well i don't know
it's still a weird gpu
weird issues might pop up, and nvidia isn't obligated to fix it
cause it's not in laptops like they're supposed to be
lone pond
weird issues might pop up, and nvidia isn't obligated to fix it
Right, but they haven't thus far and I'm currently running the latest Nvidia driver release. I'm inclined to believe that it'll work as well as a laptop 3060 does provided Nvidia doesn't go out of their way to lock them out
vital oriole
i would say the same too
some people might not like it, but im definitely one of those willing to risk
lone pond
You missed an opportunity then, I got mine for $150, shipped from US too so it only took a few days to arrive
Seller had like 30 of them, presumably relics of the LHR era
vital oriole
i don't have a pc in need of a gpu, haha
lone pond
Neither did I lol, I just thought it was cool. I daily an rx 6800 so I'll probably end up giving/lending it to a friend
lone pond
Yeh, closer to $200 ish iirc, but still not bad if you need/want Nvidia features
vital oriole
still fine considering the price of full fat 3060
vital oriole
tho used 3060s are around $200 here too
lone pond
Oh really? I only ever see them for $250-275
vital oriole
it's good value for countries where 3060 are still 400+ i guess
ya
here in thailand i see $200 used 3060 fairly often
160 for 2060
lone pond
The $50-75 extra you'd pay here a bad premium considering the extra vram though - if you need it that is. But you can get them for $200 then I don't think I'd bother with the 3060m's 😅
languid heart
anyone here have a 4070 Ti build?
languid heart
Did you build around it or add it to an existing build?

frail pasture
Did you build around it or add it to an existing build?
existing build
fading glacier
any atx case should fit it
unless your card is beyond 330mm, any atx case should work
harsh sun
any atx case should fit it
So mid ATX is fine?
Because I'm wondering about upgrading too to 4070 in the future from my 2060
fading glacier
you need to compare the gpu clearance of your case with the length of the 4070 you are about to buy
a little research will help more than you think
fading glacier
always research everything before making a purchase and try to think on any future possibilities
harsh sun
Yeah, I don't want to jump into it right away
fading glacier
in my case, my budget allowed me to went a little overboard, so im practically covered for a lot of customization in the future if i want it... my case: 5000xd airflow

I was going to link my PC build to you guys to see if I need to make an upgrade to my PC before getting it, is it okay if I do that now?

yeah 4070ti perform as a 3090, will be a fine choice
ofc that will depend on your pocket 😛
harsh sun
Yeaaah
fading glacier
you can get the same performance from a 6900xt for like 200usd less
fading glacier
if you need the vram, yeah by all means 3090
harsh sun
you can get the same performance from a 6900xt for like 200usd less
Hmm interesting
fading glacier
4070ti have the same performance, but 12gb is an insult in 2023 for that price
as the 3090
harsh sun
And as an PC newb, switching brand doesn't hurt my PC right?
harsh sun
Oh snap, the 6900 is def cheaper
fading glacier
it is, and almost the same performance
and that one is about as good as the 3090ti
almost as good
livid idol
You'd only get less RT performance but that's worth saving $100+ to me
And those that do rarely use it well
harsh sun
Ah okay
livid idol
Yeah considering it's just an upgrade from DX9 to DX12
ancient crystal
Vega 64 for $130. I'm poor and I need an acceptable GPU with a realistic price in the $150 range. Is there a GPU in this range better than that?
livid idol
You could get a 6500XT for $150 but you should only get that if you have a PCIe 4.0 system
ancient crystal
I will, yes
odd siren
That'd be worse than a vega 64 tho
I don't feel like you could do better for 130
Maybe an a750 used?
odd siren
Perf wise they'll be similar but you'd have av1 and better support
6500XT is much worse than a vega 64
ancient crystal
Yeah, it's also not used
orchid loom
You'd only get less RT performance but that's worth saving $100+ to me

ancient crystal
Vega 64 seems like a good move, then
AMD is still supporting with drivers, I think
fading glacier
might? or will be? you should check everything with a ruler
that will save you some pennies
i did that the frist time when i planned to buy the 3060ti
literally i took a ruler and measured my whole case to decide
perfect fit on my sff... just 8mm left
fading glacier
solid glacier
fading glacier
so, whats the problem? clearance for the gpu?
there is plenty of room in your case
you should handle the cable management better tho
its... no words
fading glacier
still.... i dont see the issue that demands another case
solid glacier
well like the hot air
fading glacier
that is solved with better airflow
solid glacier
seems like it stays in there longer than it should since i only have 1 exhaust and 3 instake what if i add 3 intake fans on the bottom
fading glacier
get 2 exhaust fans on top
if you get more intakes you will have a lot of hot air recycled inside
you need more exhaust pal
solid glacier
i mean on 1440p gaming max settings in apex my gpu reahes 67-70c hotspot 91c
fading glacier
6 intakes and 1 exhaust sounds horrible for thermals
a bigger case will not get you lower temps
good airflow will
solid glacier
Alright so get 2 more exhaust fans?
solid glacier
fossil talon
6 intakes and 1 exhaust sounds horrible for thermals
That poor exhaust fan lol
fading glacier
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/790033653442150460/1074192526027792454/...
no, get 2 exhausts on top

solid glacier
Bet artic fans good?>
fading glacier
you dont need more air coming inside
you need to exhaust hot air quickly
p12s are bae
solid glacier
odd siren
Better case won't help because there aren't many better cases than a g360a for airflow 1) and 2) you should try repasting your gpu in case of bad paste contact
solid glacier
This is the current exhaust fan i have
fading glacier
Better case won't help because there aren't many better cases than a g360a for a...
my 5000XD begs to differ
odd siren
If you think the case is causing issues open up the side panel and try playing for a bit
In the event something happens we once again go back to gpu deshroud and repaste
fading glacier
3 intakes and 1 exhaust is the reason for that hot air recycled inside your case
odd siren
I have a friend who uses the same case and gpu and his temps never breach 80C
fading glacier
you can play with 3 intakes and 2 exhaust to have a slightly positive pressure as well
but 3 to 1.... no no
odd siren
3 to 1 is fine
solid glacier
Well my temps dont reach 80c at all max it reaches is 70c but my hotspot on my gpu reaches 91c
fading glacier
is fine but could be better :3
solid glacier
oh weird
odd siren
Cos he deshrouded and repasted
No that's just the far better solution
Cheaper and far more effective
It's like water cooling but without the drama of water
fading glacier
every one of us will have to deshroud and repaste at some point
its like car manteinance
odd siren
It's mainly gigabyte just tends to send really dodgy paste out of the box
You could even do this with arctic p12's
And 50c of zipties
fading glacier
good thing i run on trios
odd siren
Honestly gigabyte cards are fine
fading glacier
maybe you are right, still i dont like their aesthetics... too... boxy
odd siren
But $15 and you could drop that gpu's temps by up to 10C
Way way better than forking out for a new case
odd siren
Grab that nt-h2 as well and drop it a little further
solid glacier
Way way better than forking out for a new case
what about better than 2 more exhaust fans
odd siren
No
solid glacier
isnt repasting a gpu hard.. bc if u miss a spot your screwed
odd siren

odd siren
Too much won't do anything

its never too much with thermal paste
odd siren
I do too much on purpose

Pry very slowly
It'll keep the pads good
Once you're past that it's literally easy as cake
fading glacier
you need to help yourself as well by googling that like: "how many thermal pads a gigabyte 6900xt have?"
just in case one is ripped in the opening process

livid idol
CPU yes but GPU you want to aim for 90-100%
oak rivet
If the game had frame generation and I had a 40 series gpu probably could just cope with that 
livid idol
Frame gen can't help you if the CPU is the bottleneck
At least, not if I understand it right which is possible I don't
oak rivet
Frame gen increases fps even when cpu bound
livid idol
Entirely possible
But I hope you're getting at least 100 fps without the frame gen or the AI frames will be super noticeable

Alright just asking bc i cant get warzone to smooth out its freezing every other sec fps is like 70
goes from 180 to 70 to 40 etc then back up again
random walrus
Try capping fps and see if that helps
fading glacier
plus warzone is terribly optimized, so you know
low settings for a smooth gameplay
ifyou are trying high or higher... well.. stutter fest
random walrus
also make sure ram is set to xmp speeds
fading glacier
thing is, spending more money just to get good warzone experience is an exercise in uselessness
just lower the settings
the differences are so minor and the performance will go up big time
a 12700kf/6900xt is a beast machine
warzone is awfully optimized as i said before
solid glacier
also make sure ram is set to xmp speeds
In bios they are
alright ill try low settings

thing is, spending more money just to get good warzone experience is an exercise...

Just curious how you are managing 100+ fps in open world with ultra everything.. I'm not even hitting 80fps on my 3080 12gb. I get the no frame drops with controller, but even me sitting still and no fast movements.

Oh I'm sure you can if you have the knowledge of where everything is.
What type of spellslinger are you?
little sleet
what spells i have equipped and currently using?
hasty sphinx
pretty much yeah
little sleet
confringo, expelliarmus, crucio, and avada kedavra
hasty sphinx
I see.
little sleet
literally chain 1 shot like 10 enemies if i want to
hasty sphinx
I set up with imperio and lead into a crucio.. I cast momentum and then flipendo.. all the mobs should be cursed.. I then follow up on the crucioed mob with confringo / diffindo / bombarda. That's enough to pretty well kill the whole group with the dark arts tree and some into the spells tree. I use avada for the super big groups or on the big enemies.
super fun playstyle
little sleet
i was using imperio instead of confringo for a bit because of the spell upgrade where anyone that gets damaged by them they also get cursed but if you leave them alone for too long and the timer on the spell goes away, they pretty much regain all their health
unless that wasnt intentional and they fixed it in the update but i havent looked at the update in depth to see if that was a problem or not
hasty sphinx
must have been a bug. I haven't experienced that at all. I like to imperio the trolls when they are with a few underlings or another troll xD
Flipendo on a troll is noice too
little sleet
ye thats what i was doing with imperio, using it on trolls or whoever the strongest enemy was in the group. best for cursing multiple targets would be the archer goblins that are just way in the back and theyll just shoot everyone
hasty sphinx
ye thats what i was doing with imperio, using it on trolls or whoever the strong...
for sure. I honestly tend to do an underling and then crucio the biggest guy and toss a bunch of basics at it.. with the talent that spread the curse on when they get hit.. it will really curse a large group quickly.
I also use accio/levioso/glacius/expelliarmus for CC if super need be..

oak rivet
It would be a substantial upgrade if it performs like a 3070

But at 115w that seems pretty efficient for performance like that

you can bump to 6800xt if you dont care about rt
for the same price

Is there any leaks that prove RT is going to perf better on 4060? Historically speaking it should match whatever Nvidia puts it up against in both raster and RT (2080S vs 3060Ti, 2080TI vs 3070, 3090 half Ti vs 4070Ti). The only saving grace the 4060 has is DLSS3 frame gen, which in the perfect world can help the heavy RT perf hit (prolly wont do well cuz latency and artifact issues).

probably how the game implements it
fading glacier
yup, that's why we believe it will be a 3070 contender at most
wicked hound
portal rtx 3060 had a lead over 2080ti iirc
Sounds like an outlier with todays games, bad implantation for Turing support or smth. With proper optimizations for all RT cards it might be possible to get smth of similar effects, but idk to that degree. Tho I cant say it's really worth worrying about given I havent seen other games show that behavior.

if the 3070ti had more vram it probably would have outpaced the 2080ti in the last few games

11 has been fine in my testing. Virtually identical fps, and I neutered M$ data collection

If fps was much lower on 11 that would have been a valid point otherwise I don't see much reason to not just get 11
livid idol
Privacy is a big issue for a lot of people. M$ has been on a trend of ramping up their data collection every iteration since Win 8.
The good news is it's easy to neuter it so it's not sending all your "anonymous" data to M$ for advertising purposes

seemed compelling to me with the more recent drivers and it seems they have at least slightly fixed performance issues with older games [which I do tend to like to play quite a bit of]
livid idol
Would it be worth giving the intel cards a look or is it still too early?
For educational purposes and testing, go for it. Still too soon to recommend as a daily driver but give that a few months at the pace they're going.
They still need to revert the change to the drivers so they don't run all the settings through an osd

I'm going to be honest. Windows 11 is good if u just playing some games and stuff like that. I'm one who doesn't care about my info being sold anyway lol. You could get my info online for like 40-50 bucks nowadays anyway. Performance between windows 10 and 11 is nearly identical if that's a concern

Telemetry still exists on win 10
By default you're getting tracked anyway, unless you manually disable and block it

Yep. 11 just made it slightly harder to stop the tracking and added more types of tracking.

When playing Cyberpunk 2077, my graphics card draws 660 watts. The only other game that used that much power is Quake RTX.
wicked hound
That's why I don't get the hate around it
Two main reasons (and three if semi-non-trustworthy companies):
-Data leaks can happen. Could allow for random doxxing, which may end up not so well for some people.
-Companies can take data out of context and use it against you. Google has done this to an unfortunate father over their daughters health inspection (cant go into details as NE Server isnt an ideal place to talk about it, but should be able to find the story online with what I've said).
-Companies can purposely leak info such as phone numbers to spammers. This has happened before with somewhat well known companies.
