thanks for the tips guys im sorry ive been rather busy since i last posted. i am going to comb over the card with a magnifying glass. im trying to not buy a new card if possible... i was on the market for a budget setup and ended up getting this pc used for a rather good price so hopefully i can fix the card! if worst comes to worst i might just bake it :/
lone pond
Have you tried the GPU in a different pcie slot? Mainly CPU vs chipset lanes even if you have to run in x4? What mobo/PSU model? Also have you tried a different cable e.g. hdmi/dvi vs displayport?
olive flume
i repla ced the old board cause it made the pci slot sag due to the sag in shipping. (it might still be good sad enough) but i tried it in my new board and still same thing and i have tested this hdmi cable and it is fine. also took it to a pc shop and they said the gpu is bad :/
lone pond
Very possible. Not much you can do outside the long-shot of trying to heat the card to re-seat some unseen connections.
olive flume
ya im considering baking it
lone pond
My 780 had a similar problem. R9 270x's were known to as well.
olive flume
yeah i wish my buddy had rememberd to take it out to ship it 😦
lone pond
It could also be something as simple as a capacitor that's partially bent off the board. Hard to say.

Needs some advice from everybody. I bought a EVGA GTX 1070 and I haven’t used it yet since I haven’t had all the parts yet. I was offered $290 for it. Should I sell it and buy a better GPU?

For 290, that's a good deal for you.

@gritty quartz it came with this pc
@wraith pasture should i do express or custom installation

white geode
No clue where else to ask this (maybe peripherals? IDK) but can the elgato hd60 pro work with a full size pcie slot like where my rtx 2070 goes, or does it only use the tiny black slots. (Photo for refer
rough harness
Capture cards use the smaller port underneath the card
lone pond
@white geode Is your GPU in the x8 slot? Either way, probably doesn't hurt performance too much.
I'd try run the GPU from the x16 slot nearest the CPU, then the capture card from any pcie slot controlled by the PCH. Not the slots with the metal shroud re-enforcement.
warped sable
It looks like his case might not even allow it... I don’t see slots to the left of the x16
Or maybe he removed it cause it kinda looks like wall??? Idk I’m dum
lone pond
It looks like the GPU is currently plugged into the 2nd x16 (physical size) slot which is likely wired to x8 CPU lanes.

Founders edition, so the price drops $20-40 or so, but still
leaden thunder
User benchmark is not a very good benchmarking strategy, it has no true regulatory scenario so each test is different and from different situations, and even then there known to favor gaming benchmarks instead of multi threaded work station loads. Now for grafics cards the difference and range of performance could be effected by the case all the way to the fool who plugged there you into only the motherboards power output, no a for real benchmarks you could watch videos or find a different site, but normally I would not be using that site for your best or worst case plans.

is a 1660 ti worth the money for an upgrade, i don't like the rtx cards cause it doesn't do much for making the image better and it just kills frames. any suggestions?
little slate
The rtx cards are still more powerful than the 1660ti even if you don't use ray tracing or dlss
And the answer to your question really depends on what you currently have, what you want to play, and at what resolution/fps
pulsar saffron
i'm trying to just upgrade from a 1060 to something better, i heard about the new architecture, i just don't know if it's worth it
long phoenix
If you don't want ray tracing but you want killer performance for a decent price, 5700 or 5700 XT @pulsar saffron
pulsar saffron
alright, i'll look into them
little slate
I don't think it's worth upgrading from a 1060 to 1660ti.
5700 or 5700xt are a pretty significant price bump over a 1660ti, but they will also offer great 1440p performance, especially the properly cooled ones
Of course at that price there is also 2060 super, which isn't really any good for ray tracing or dlss, but will offer great performance without those on, and of course all the nvidia extras
wide mango
i was thinking about waiting a little bit longer cuz that 2070 might drop in price and it still performs better than the 2060 super
for the raytracing though it wont perform as good as the 5700xt with raytracing off
clear summit
are the liquid cooling kids for video cards usually card specific or do they try to follow some sort of standard? Though I guess a complete standard would be difficult considering how much they can differ in size...
wide mango
no idea
raven ledge
Ok, I want opinions on borrowing a GTX 670 until I can buy a much newer card
I’ve seen it perform on multiple games and it’s quite impressive
For an old card with only 2gig of Vram
clear summit
I mean, if borrowing means free, then there's nothing to really lose
lone pond
At least a 670 can run 4k. My 5xx cards can't.
fallen schooner
nice!
little slate
@clear summit full board liquid cooling kits depend on the PCB since they have to fully fit a specific board
AiO and partial board kits are usually one size fits all
granite juniper
@gusty axle nice 1080 ti’s are still rocking solid for pretty good prices
gusty axle
@granite juniper Yes they are and even 4k can run at decent to good framerates from what I have seen
Although my monitor wont go above 1080p as of rn so I wont unlock its full podtential, but eventually I want to get a nice monitor to be able to do so
I really like EVGA too when it cones to cards

ew its only 4gb
also how come you guys are able to post things for sell on other sites?
lone pond
I think it's just easier to either confine personal sales to a bst text channel, or skip it altogether as Newegg does here.
IME, BST text channels are exhaustive to monitor and don't offer many benefits unless it's a really tight community.
runic trail
@wide mango wait we can't?
wide mango
i was trying to ask people on here if anyone interested in something i want to sell but my post was deleted and i was warned. So if people can post stuff from ebay then that means ill just have to put it up on ebay and post it. But its basically the same thing.
lone pond
I'd assume nobody posts their own ebay links. If I did I'd probably refuse to sell to someone here anyway haha.
runic trail
@lone pond could you read #peripherals-and-displays and see what I said? Just wondering if anyone could tell me an answer
lone pond
Your post seems fine, I haven't seen people spam "price check" posts at all actually.
That being said, if you want to learn how to research that yourself, just search ebay sold listings
IIf that's not enough information, you can make a educated guess off the current lowest new prices
runic trail
Okay thanks! 😄
@lone pond Is it worth it if I sell those 2 combine on ebay since it'll give me about 80$ and and work up like an extra 20$ to get a GPU better than mine rn? (RX 560 2GB) because I do have an extra keyboard and mouse
lone pond
That's a question for you to answer.
lone pond
If you want a build that has the most options for streaming capability get a 1050 ti, or better yet, a 1660 or better
runic trail
Oh
I have an FX 6300 and RX 560 2GB 😦
I found a 8GB 2x4 1333MHz ram on some used app for 10$
I could get 16GB altogether
Would that be better too?

(the ram would actually be 4x4 16GB)

@clear summit yeah. RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition.

is that the only card that was released?

There's the RX 5700, RX 5700 XT, and then the anniversary edition
long phoenix
Yeah
clear summit
Ah it seems the anniversary is like a factory overclock of the XT, only about 1% performance increase, I guess you'd get it more for the novelty than anything
runic trail
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cWxs6s Would it be fine if I just went with that?

@runic trail you could get different ram for a bit cheaper
if you like red ram u could go with this

@runic trail quad core seems to not be sufficient nowadays if your a "gamer" at least from my experience.

Is the 1080Ti really starting to show it’s age?
wide mango
1080ti op
potent kindle
I thought the 2070 super was supposed to be more equivalent to a regular 1080
granite juniper
the 2070 is around 1080 levels iirc
wide mango
from i saw the 1080 ti was like 600$ at launch and is still realllly good today. so it shows how much value the 5700 and xt have at 400$
being that it performs similar or the same performace or maybe alittle better
granite juniper
u can get used 1080 ti's for like 450-500 rn also
potent kindle
Im not looking at it from a price point, just strictly at the performance front. It’s been out for a while now so I’m curious what everyone’s thoughts are about showing age going into tomorrows games. Not so much today’s games.
wraith pasture
sold a 1080Ti for $550 two weeks ago.

@potent kindle yeah in games its around 2070S levels of performance

Probably the new COD or maybe The Division 2

ehh, its gonna be hard to hit 144 on those games i think
with any gpu
not just your setup

Just play the roblox versions of those games

I just wanted the extra refresh rate too so that's alright

I actually was looking at that one 😂

its a great monitor

Well that's great to hear!

yeah, probably the best for that price imo
$400, you get curved, 1440p. 144hz refresh rate, 27 inches
very nice
lone pond
So I should be fine with a 2070 Super and 6700K?

do you already have a 6700k? or are you looking to buy

I am using a 6700K with a GTX 970 MSI right now

id say a bit lower
dense flicker
yeah
runic trail
@granite juniper @wide mango Sorry I wasn't thinking right at 3 AM, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9mhkkd I'm probably gonna go with that since when the motherboard price appears, it'll be around the same price as what I linked before.
And it'll give me a head start since in my future PC I want a 3600 and 5700 XT
runic trail
Scroll down to memory
And if you click on that picture thing for memory
You'll see why
If you click the black version of the RAM I chose
I'll have a performance boost on the RAM
granite juniper
yeah but its like only a tiny bit increase over 3200mhz cl16
granite juniper
runic trail
And I went with 3600Mhz because it's a sweet spot which most tech people say
And that motherboard can support 3600Mhz and won't bring it down to 3466MHz
And I'll get a performance boost from the motherboard for the RAM
granite juniper
yeah but you can save $50 and only lose less than 5% performance with e die
runic trail
What is even e die?
granite juniper
u could get a better gpu for $50
runic trail
Um..
granite juniper
what the memory is made of
runic trail
I didn't list a GPU
granite juniper
yeah in the future
runic trail
What GPU?

$50 could get you from 5700 to 5700xt or something like that
runic trail
I said 5700XT
dense flicker
runic trail
Did I not?
granite juniper
i just got on
but the point is you could use the $50 somewhere else that would work better imo
runic trail
I want RGB
And I will be getting the 5700XT
And that RAM has the same latency
But slower speeds
runic trail
With Zen 2 it does.
runic trail
The 3600 does a lot better with faster performance
And that RAM has RGB where you can see the hotspots

Did you try using Geforce experience to have it optimize settings for it? I haven't played any of the AC's so not sure how much geforce experience would help
wraith pasture
GFE only measures gpu, if your cpu is lacking it will still underperform D:
with the "optimal" GFE game settings
and also sometimes the optimal settings are bad
tender wraith
True but he is saying it is only underperforming in unity
wraith pasture
it wants me to upscale my resolution to 4k on bfv

AC unity?
unity was poorly optimized

That question is always followed by another "on what games" , though I know you play a flight simulator, but forgot which
And benchmarks will tell
Also, sorry about how the OC channel in LTT treated you, Simplicity is a massive jerk. You should see him in the EVGA discord
@lone pond the flight sim il more than likely lock around 30 or 60 fps for a smother experience(helps the sim) but il be playing games like battlefield 1 and V, rainbow siege, forza 7, recon wildlands, gta v, minecraft and others
have you searched for GPU benchmarks on those particular games? If you have the money, get a 2080 ti, but you have a 1080 as of now, right?
I cant get a 2080ti
Id need a new 1440p 144hz monitor
Preferably a water block
Is 2x16gb at only 3000mhz a bottleneck?
You have a z390 taichi and 9900k, I thought you were really into mem oc?

lone pond
hwinfo64 or aida64
gray vapor
ok hwinfo i have already and how do i use aida64?
lone pond
If you have hwinfo, just start it, do some gaming until your card gets hot/loud as you stated previously, end game, screenshot hwinfo and send
Here's how to show all the data https://puu.sh/E4k48.gif

is there anything i can do to cool my 2080 down that doesnt void the warranty? I have plenty of airflow but i could increase case fan speed. i have the corsair 780t with two 140mm intake, two 120mm intake, and two 140mm exhaust
wraith pasture
cap frames ingame
somber glen
lol why would i do that. i cant even hit 155 on all of them
dense flicker
somber glen
what?
dense flicker
whats your monitor rated for?
somber glen
155hz
wraith pasture
are you using any programs to control fan curve for gpu
somber glen
afterburner
wraith pasture
still not cool enough?
wraith pasture
which gpu partner is this
somber glen
gigabyte 2080 windforce
wraith pasture
well which gpu specifically
somber glen
oc version
somber glen
what do you mean
it used to hit high 70s but i dropped it by increasing the fan curve
lone pond
What's wrong with 70?
dense flicker
yeahh
somber glen
its so close to hitting 2100 mhz, just a litttttlllllle more
if theres no way to cool it more thats fine, im just curious
dense flicker
70s are fine
gray vapor
@lone pond This is what i just got for playing a little bit of GTA V and also for the RX 570 i have i have the RGB lighting set for temps which it was turning red before i closed the game
lone pond
Hmm, ya I agree 80C is too high, is that the max fan RPM?
Also what's your case's fan setup like
got a pic?
gray vapor
Pretty much i have it on gaming mode when getting those temps
lone pond
Ya, your max clock, voltage, are high
lone pond
Why is the rear fan installed backwards
dense flicker
gray vapor
i fixed it the last time i cleaned my system that is just an older pic i took last month
lone pond
What model 570 btw
gray vapor
Asus ROG Strix
and yes i have a make shift fan next to my GPU as well cause i thought it would of helped at first
i put one down on my drive bay cause there is almost no air flow for me SSD's cause of this https://www.newegg.ca/icy-dock-mb290sp-b-2-x-2-5-drive-to-3-5-bay/p/N82E16817994162
This is not GPU related but i was wondering how come the Team Group Lite 3D SSD's never shows the temps?
dense flicker
wait you can monitor ssd temps?
somber glen
yeah on my m.2 i can
gray vapor
https://i.gyazo.com/4a194a4834c826ac0a9775ab395b76a1.png This is all my drives and my Kingston A400 and my Seagate FireCude shows the temps but not the 2 Team Group one's
So @lone pond what do you think i should do for my GPU and also like to mention as well that i also wipe down the fan blades just in case if there is some dirt stuck on them
lone pond
If your temps under the same power loads are comparable to cards tested by users/reviewers, then just limit clock and or up the fan curve to keep the Core under 70 or 75.
If your card is uncharacteristically hot on the same fan, clock, power output (watts), then look into re-pasting.
gray vapor
So what do i do with that warranty sticker on the screw cause i got a little worried
lone pond
On the GPU shot you sent me, the avg core temp was low, try reset hwinfo's timer when you get in game, play around for 5 mins, then record the average
For how much longer is the card under warranty?
gray vapor
i bought it December 2018
lone pond
I mean, re-pasting is a last resort here, I wouldn't really recommend it to you at all
Ya, do those other two things first
gray vapor
Can i get your opinion on a CPU liquid cooler though?
lone pond
What's wrong with the wraith spire?
gray vapor
2600 non X comes with the Wraith Stealth
lone pond
Too noisy? Get a Noctua D15, Dark rock Pro 4, coolermaster grande thing, superflower cooler, scythe ninja mugen 5, or many more
Ya, the 2600 non x uses so little power it barely needs more
gray vapor
Well you saw in my pic i am using the Deepcool S40
lone pond
That's a great cooler, are you unhappy with it?
I would never recommend upgrading from that on a ryzen 2600
Unless you're going for some dry ice, ln2 etc for a record
gray vapor
It works great the way it is cause when gaming it goes up to 40c but for the future i would like to you know overclock my CPU
lone pond
Sure
gray vapor
I get a little "a word" when i get higher temps on my system because back in the days before i built/upgraded this system i had for 7 years a i5 2500
and because a lot of games i was playing was open world games as well i would get like 30-35 fps while a friend of mine that was using a i7 2600 was getting around 50 fps and with the same GPU as well which was a GTX 1050 Ti
I kept thinking about going back with Nvidia but the problem is i like the AMD software especially for streaming
lone pond
Go nvidia for streaming
gray vapor
cause with the Radeon software (and because i only use one monitor) has streaming chat
lone pond
1050 ti, 1660, 2060 etc
Just not a 1050
or 1650
1660ti is also pretty good
for its price
gray vapor
If i was to ever go Nvidia again i would go for the 1660 unless they make a RTX 2050
lone pond
pretty sure they won't
Yes, 1660 ti is great as well, $200 and $250 ? ish respectively
gray vapor
I game at 1080p so i try not to think of anything extreme and not to mention i am always on a tight budget
lone pond
2060 runs around 350
but if they did make a 2050 it'd pretty much be a 1660ti with ray tracing
so i don't really see a point for it
gray vapor
You got to remember i am in Canada so the conversion for what you're saying is much more
lone pond
It's all relative
gray vapor
Also i would tend to think a 2050 would be less power from a 1660 since i would guess it would be like 4gb or 5gb instead
lone pond
no
gray vapor
But ya if i do go back might be a 1660 i would go for
lone pond
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/BigEndianEnergy/saved/8WZvWZ is a build I put togither for someone yesterday
swap out the gpu if needed
gray vapor
Well my motherboard right now is a Asus Prime B450M-A/CSM
lone pond
Should be fine with a stock 3600 if you chose to do that, but it's on the iffy side power delivery wise. Why?
I justposted that because I happened to have made a CA pcpp yesterday anyway
gray vapor
Well i just recently changed my CPU to the 2600
before i was using the 2400G
Also with 4 months of saving that is all i could afford so
lone pond
Nothing wrong with the 2600, it sounds like you're budget limited for the most part, so I would not recommend buying any coolers for your GPU or CPU
Save the money for a new gpu, then new CPU/mobo, not sure what ram you have. run a userbench
gray vapor
Well would you think a 1660 would be more than enough if i was to save up?
i personally don't care about maxing out on my games but i like it to look pretty enough
lone pond
Maybe, ask me when that happens. Prices / value changes
gray vapor
Right now this is technically the cheapest i could buy https://www.newegg.ca/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1660-gv-n1660ixoc-6gd/p/N82E16814932168 and i don't mind Gigabyte and ITX style cards
I went MSI once for the 1050 Ti and i don't think i would ever get a MSI card again
gray vapor
Well at the time it was better than the 650 Ti boost i was using
dense flicker
lone pond
The 1050 ti is great for stuff like welfare csgo single pc stream builds
gray vapor
Well the games i was playing at the time and not streaming was Swtor and WoW
so cause those games kept upping the graphics with each expansion i thought why not just get the 1050 Ti
lone pond
The 1660 isn't huge over the 570, save more imo, unless you want streaming capability now
granite juniper
^
gray vapor
Well wouldn't the 1660 be better on cooling as well?
granite juniper
depends on what models
lone pond
Follow the steps I mentioned earlier, then stop worrying about cooling
gray vapor
ok
Anyways i am heading to sleep i have to wake up at 5am and get ready for my playtest with WB Games
quartz gull
my msi venus oc 2060 runs at 87 degrees at 60-70% fan spin (which is loud af) even with thermal paste replacement
Is that abnormal?
hard quartz
Yes it seems to be

I have no clue what to do about that. I used this because I was told it was a good replacement https://www.newegg.com/p/2MB-001D-00002?item=9SIA4RE8D81802&source=region&nm_mc=knc-googlemkp-pc&cm_mmc=knc-googlemkp-pc-_-pla-corn+electronics-_-cpu+thermal+paste+%2F+grease-_-9SIA4RE8D81802&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhdTqBRDNARIsABsOl9_2Xn11hLljjjfSUW3yFvNzVkzuJtCCk90ZFi_nbBt0ieS7t1KzLusaAp8iEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
little slate
Er, you used conductanaut on your gpu? I heard in the past that it's no good on gpu
little slate
man, I just watched a review of the 5700 XT red devil, and that card is very exciting
it scrapes on 2070 super performance for $100 less
horray competition!
little slate
not surprised that they are, it's one hell of a deal at that price
wide mango
in comparison to nvidia for sure, also feelsbad that midtier is now 400$
little slate
that's been midtier for a while hasn't it?
wide mango
wasnt it like 200-300 before?
lone pond
$500 - 600 was usually flagship
Then the dual gpu cards came and I think it was a bit more.
little slate
1080ti started at 600, with most cards being 700+
wide mango
ya i think though its something that evolved over time like how people point that milk price increase comparison
cuz i remember when my bro bought a 200 ish card and was considered midtier
little slate
that sounds like a very long time ago
wide mango
like uh i think late 2000's
violet dock
my 1070 ftw was 450
little slate
late 2000's is at least 10 years ago at this point, that's forever in terms of PC parts
violet dock
so mid range for 200 was like the 400 series?
little slate
also I feel like calling a 5700 XT mid tier at this point doesn't make much sense
based on nvidia's range at least
1660-1660ti is lower tier
2060-2060 super is mid
2070-2080 is upper tier
and the 2080ti is in a class of its own
violet dock
high end is 2080+, mid is 2060-2070 range, and low is 1660 range and below
wide mango
ive heard many people call it midtier, so thats where my understanding is atm. though i feel like it is more the midtier for sure but im not an expert
little slate
especially now that the difference between the 2070 super and 2080 super is pretty dang small
I don't see why you'd call the 2080 super high end, but 2070 super mid
violet dock
price points vs performance
the super line skewed the tier range, thats mostly nvidias fault
because they didnt wanna step on the toes of the Ti crowd
and bascially screw themselves for the next gen launch
wide mango
to end my point, people arent earning more money now then they did during that time i mentioned so. inflation?
violet dock
like they did with the 2080 vs 1080ti
little slate
I still remember all those people that were defending nvidia's pricing when RTX launched
claiming that the 2080 is same tier as 1080 ti, and the 2080 ti is the titan replacement
violet dock
its too expensive for sure. Not even gonna debate that
Im hoping next gen fixes some of nvidias blunders
they inflated prices to make up for the market loss of bulk selling during the crypto aids
if they bring the 3080ti back down to like 900 I think that would be okay honestly
lone pond
I don't care how much they charge for the highest end stuff as long as the performance per dollar at all price points increases a fair amount between generations.
wide mango
would it be better if the highest end card of one generation be lesser than the lowest end card of the next?
little slate
I'm pretty confident we won't ever see a xx80ti get released at least than $1,000 again
violet dock
1,000 vs 1400 is the biggest issues for the 2080ti
cant even really find many 2080ti for around 1,000
yea. Lowest 2080ti is straight up 1,050. and thats got the worst of the silicon
theres nasty blower cooler 2080ti's that are 1100+
rough harness
But they are sexy....

This is the card to get for that price right now. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Gbvqqs/msi-geforce-rtx-2070-super-8-gb-gaming-x-trio-video-card-rtx-2070-super-gaming-x-trio
Better yet, get the non-x version if it goes in stock
magic pebble
You could get good deals on most gpu's until the first little mining craze happened. then they went back down for a little while at the end of 2015, but since the end of 2016/early 2017 everything has gone up in price. I remember when I bought my rx480 having a really hard time trying to decide between getting it for $249 or a 1070 for $339 on sale. A few months later mining went crazy again and the prices went through the roof and I was happy just to have a decent card already. I think the manufacturers realized that gamers were still willing to pay the crazy prices for the pascal/polaris/vega during the mining craze and will never lower the price as long as people are buying the cards.
granite juniper
now the prices as so low, its amazing
magic pebble
AMD kind of came to the rescue a bit with navi to help pull prices down a bit
Now if you go back to the early to mid 2000's you could buy a brand new high end card for around $300 on launch day
I bought the Geforce 3 on launch day at Best buy which had higher prices than online and I think I paid $339.
lone pond
I wonder when people will start buying up cards for CUDA workloads like tensorflow
magic pebble
And I think I paid around $300 for my 9800pro when it launched
lone pond
I feel like Pascal, Turing cards will remain viable enough for the power they use for another generation or two
granite juniper
pascal is amazing
lone pond
Rather, I wonder when people will start finding ways to put their compute potential to work
granite juniper
turing is nice but its overpriced imo
magic pebble
The first card I really remember thinking was too expensive for me at launch was the 8800 gtx
and that was around 2006
lone pond
I think the 1080 ti was a great value for a very long time. Turing definitely became less of a price gauge when NVENCnew optimizations were released
Lol, same, I almost got a pre-built dell, I remember chatting with customer support asking why it cost 700 to upgrade to an 8800 gtx
Bought an 8800 gts 512 instead, nearly as iconic
magic pebble
same here
lone pond
The 8800 Ultra was criticized almost the same way the 2080 ti was
magic pebble
sli gts's was the way to go
magic pebble
my 8800gt died in a tragic volt modding accident. 😄
That may have been the last card I volt modded
after that I bought my sli gtx 470's and ran those until I bought my rx480
I spent most of those years in between gaming on a console or my old laptop since I was out of town with work atleast 4 days a week. Only games I played on my desktop were cs:source and bad company 2.
and the 470's had plenty of power for that
wide mango
is it worth getting the rx 580 still?
or would it be outdated really soon?
with newer games
magic pebble
At 1080p its still a very relevant card.
granite juniper
Yeah it can hit 60fps on high/ultra
hard quartz
I have it's good
gray vapor
@wide mango With the RX 580 there is still a lot of games you can play very high at 1080p and high on 1440p and if you are going to buy one go for the 8gb models
If you are planning on going anything higher than that then go for the RX 5700 and not the 590
wide mango
ah thanks besides myself i have a friend who was looking to build a new computer with a 600-700 budget and was thinking of having him get the 580 8gb
but i wanted him to have a 144hz 1080p monitor so was thinking maybe the 580 would be too weak for 144 fps but i dunno
to fully utilize the monitor
gray vapor
What are the games your friend are playing or intends on playing anyways?
lone pond
This is what I wanted to see from AMD, great competition for Nvidia.
https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_radeon_rx_5700_xt_rog_strix_review,13.html
https://puu.sh/E61xI/07f807c642.png
wide mango
thats hot
gray vapor
I only ask because while the 580 is a great card if your friend is playing like esport titles you could go down one to the 570 instead and besides that a 144hz monitor is not wear for any card unless you're friend was planning on buying a relic like a GTX 8800 because there is still a lot of great games out there that the 580 can push more than 100 fps
wide mango
he wants to have intense twitch shooter or competition gaming
so maybe overwatch, fps's, rocket league, league of legends maybe
gray vapor
@wide mango Also make sure it is a FreeSync monitor as well and if you plan on going less than 144hz you could always suggest this one https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824160291
Also those are esports titles mainly so even a RX 560 could play those maxed out
lone pond
Kinda, if you're really competitive, you want a high 1%ile low fps
But if you mean CSGO, ya, any card can push 200+ or something
wide mango
he wants the image to be super smooth with fast motion
i suppose a 580 would be fine then
and meet the 144hz monitor with fps
but he also says that hes into rpg games and i think he wants to play cyberpunk 2077
gray vapor
If you are going AMD for graphics stick with a FreeSync monitor
lone pond
Not bad for the money, the next step up is 1440p 27" freesync TNpanel for $300
That dell is freesync
wide mango
that one has gsync and freesync capatability
i found this one aswell at 27inch but has a 2ms response time https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824260622?Item=N82E16824260622&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2Fproduct%2FthQG3C%2Fdell-d2719hgf-270-1920x1080-144-hz-monitor-d2719hgf&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-hEoOlXNWPBFJNkg9lApnGw
has freesync
ive only had a ips 4ms response monitor so i dunno how much you sacrifice for the 27 inch but these were the ones that i found for him and maybe have him get a rx580.
gray vapor
For me 24" is the sweet spot
and if your friend is planning on streaming with dual monitors wouldn't he need more desk space as well?
lone pond
1440p 120hz gaming on 5700xt, 2070 super or 2080?
If i have to i can downclock the monitor to like 100hz
When i get one*
latent quarry
I mean, unless you want to run the newest, flashiest AAAA titles on max settings, ANY of those will push well over 100 fps with a decent processor.
I haven't looked into it a ton, but from what I've seen the 5700xt and the 2070 super are fairly close. The 2080 is still a step up, but the other two can push pretty close in some games. If you want raytracing go Nvidia, and if you want to keep a high framerate while doing so, do the 2080.
lone pond
@latent quarry i just want 1440p on high/ultra preferably on a minimum of 100fps but as cheap as i can
As long as the card can maintain 100 fps minimum im good
Il be playing forza 7, rainbow siege, ghost recon, p3d v4, gta v, resident evil 2, and others, i have a 9900k so
If i want ray tracing go nvidia, if a high frame rate while doing so 2080? Assuming you mean high frames with ray tracing? But i dont want ray tracing so now what
@latent quarry
little slate
forza 7 doesn't like to run above 60 fps
latent quarry
From what I've seen, 5700xt should handle all that fine. That said, the 2070 super still outperforms it fairly often, though not always by a ton.
Forza is still a console port, so I'm not super surprised
little slate
they did better with horizon 4, but forza 7 used to crash for me all the time until I capped the fps to 60
latent quarry
@lone pond Just looked up some benchmarks. If you want to max settings and still get over 100 fps@1440p in most games, the 2080 is still your best bet. If you're willing to compromise on some of the settings, it's a tossup between the 2070 super and the 5700xt, with the Nvidia having the lead in more titles.
There's also a lack of non-reference cards on the AMD side, but that will change. The 5700xt is also $100-150 cheaper and potentially has some room to grow.
fwiw, for some reason the AMD card performed ~25% better in Forza horizon 4 than the 2070 super, but I don't know if that would translate into better Forza 7 performance, especially if there are optimization issues like those mentioned.
little slate
could have something to do with consoles all being AMD based
latent quarry
Maybe, yeah.
This was somewhat useful. The only games I'd really worry about not hitting 100+ frames are the tom clancy games. And maybe forza 7, but that's a different issue. Here's the article for reference: https://www.techspot.com/review/1870-amd-radeon-rx-5700/
little slate
I think the only OC'ing these tests may apply is just increasing the power limit in the software, which isn't really an OC, just giving the card more breathing room with power draw.
hard quartz
Yes I agree

nvidia will go in flames when radeon decides to go for the top tier
just like Ryzen is coming after intel
little slate
I feel like ryzen is beyond "coming after intel", they're already there
the 3900x is legitimate competition to intel's flagship 9900k, while offering new technology on AMD motherboards that intel doesn't offer yet
I feel like the hardest thing for AMD to do with GPUs will be competing with ray tracing and DLSS come next generation of nvidia cards
in the mid tier those things don't matter, so it's pretty much raw performance competition, in top tier, especially when nvidia has more cards in the future, it'll be a different story
AMD will need a trump card of their own
somber glen
true, all they have left to overcome is becoming the best for gaming, intel has them by 1% i believe
isnt the new xbox or ps5 coming out with ray tracing and its amd? i thought i saw that somewhere
little slate
yeah but when you take price into consideration, that tiny difference is insignificant
somber glen
very true
little slate
I don't know, I haven't heard that about the consoles
little slate
I use an intel cpu and nvidia GPU, but I'm 100% for strong competition from red side lol
somber glen
yesss XD
little slate
yeah that's all consoles have been using for years
somber glen
i have nvidia but thats just because i wanted top tier
true, i heard rumors of ray tracing, not sure though
little slate
I've got an 8700k 1080ti system, when that got put together ryzen wasn't competing at top end yet
hm, a quick google search pulls up multiple articles supporting what you said about the consoles
but there's nothing form sony or microsoft explaining how that is going to work
somber glen
yeah, im excited to see what theyll do. i doubt ill get one because #pcmasterrace and ill never go back lol
little slate
from my understanding of ray tracing, it's not really something that is exclusive to nvidia, hell you can enable it on non RTX nvidia cards, they just can't handle it very well
somber glen
exactly
little slate
rt cores of RTX cards are something that belongs to nvidia
little slate
which means amd will have to find another way to have enough grunt to support it
somber glen
yup. and if they keep this up theyll have nvidia
and i hope they do
1200 for a graphics card is ridiculous
radeon can beat that
little slate
tell me about it, I paid around $850 for my evga 1080ti hybrid, and that was back when the mining craze was still going
when nvidia announced 2080ti pricing, I was disgusted
somber glen
yeah, i was like yeah that isnt happening, i got a 2080 instead
plus nvidia is keeping all the good chips for themselves while giving the leftovers to their board partners
little slate
I thought about swapping to a 2080, because for a while I was going to do a custom water loop which my card doesn't support any blocks for
somber glen
gotcha
little slate
but now I'm just going to wait for next generation
somber glen
nice
little slate
I only play at 1440p resolution, there's literally no point in upgrading as of now
somber glen
nah, same here
1440 is great for me, still get ultra settings around 90fps on most game

it does use ddr3 tho so that's pretty telltale

the good thing about video cards is they're backwards compatible unlike ram, so you're not really held back by your motherboard
since I wasn't 100% sure about this, I double checked with google, and looks like you're fine as far as bottlenecking a new card
"no pcie 2.0 will not bottleneck and will likely not anytime soon. gpus dont even come close to the bandwidth limit. though $4000 ssds are approaching the bottleneck. pcie 3.0@x8 is the same speed as pcie 2.0@16x"

is a gtx 1650 great?

@potent shoal the 1650 is mainly an upgrade from the 1050
potent shoal
What card do you suggest?
gray vapor
1060/1660 or RX 5708gb/5804gb
wide mango
id be concerned if your motherboard might cause you problems when getting a new graphics card but i dunno
besides that whats your budget for a gpu?
potent shoal
Im open to anything under 500
gray vapor
for just the GPU right?
wide mango
basically anything not the 2080+
gray vapor
@potent shoal What games do you play or intend to play?
potent shoal
Minecraft
tender wraith
and at what resolution
potent shoal
Fortnite, destiny 2
wide mango
raytrace minecraft or normal?
potent shoal
New games
wide mango
is what you intend?
clear summit
I'd probably just go expensive as you're comfortable with on video card
because it's one of the only things you can upgrade on this system, and then once the rest of the system become too slow, you can just move the card to whatever new system you buy in the future
gray vapor
@potent shoal what is your system specs you're using now?
wide mango
he has i7-4820k, gtx 680
clear summit
the specs page was linked a little bit above
wide mango
hes using a Alienware Aurora R4 System

2014 Era
gray vapor
Personally i would say then a 1660 Ti or 2060
clear summit
it's a previous gen motherboard, so ddr3 and whatever you call that specific intel chipset
tender wraith
Also what's the monitor you're using?
gray vapor
my guess would be a 1080p monitor
potent shoal
A 1080p with 60GHz HDR
gray vapor
but even at 1440p those GPU's would be more than enough
potent shoal
I plan on upgrading it too
wide mango
upgrading to 1440p? or staying at 1080p gaming?
potent shoal
1080p
clear summit
maybe a 5700 XT~
tender wraith
That's what I was gonna suggest
gray vapor
There might be a bit of a bottleneck with what he is using
clear summit
my point was that when he finally upgrades the rest of his system, he won't have to worry about a gpu
tender wraith
@gray vapor It might bottle neck for now but gives him room to not worry about gpu when he upgrades or buys a new pc
potent shoal
Would it maintain stable 120fps with high settings?
wide mango
that card at 1080p definitely could
clear summit
5700 xt? on 1080 60 hz? yeah, you won't have to worry about that lol
wide mango
you should get cpu-z and tell us what motherboard you have
clear summit
I guess it depends on the game too though, maybe something a little more cpu heavy might struggle
gray vapor
Destiny 2 i was able to max that out with 55 fps with a 1050 Ti
tender wraith
I love seeing all these people helping others out 😄
wide mango
buncha value addicts
gray vapor
Well isn't that the point of this server?
tender wraith
Yeah it is but still makes me happy
potent shoal
Would an RTX 2060 work?
wide mango
i think this is the right site for cpu-z https://www.cpuid.com
tender wraith
Yeah thats the site
gray vapor
and this one for GPU-Z https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
wide mango
please get cpu-z for windows and launch it to see the motherboard
potent shoal
Does NVIDIA make 5700 xt?
gray vapor
That is AMD
potent shoal
Oh and it would work with intel processor?
wide mango
rx 5700 would be a better choice i think
