#

haha rather, windows looks funny when no graphics driver is installed.

#

640x480 stretched to 4k panel

#

feels pretty bad

#

I'd also consider uninstalling geforce experience altogether if one doesn't care for its features anyway

#

i would agree with that too, bloatware is bad

#

you get much more granularity using nvidia control panel anyway

#

My bet: GXP is trying to install the DCH driver and the pre-built's windows installation don't like that

#

You have/need NVCP regardless of GXP

#

i regularly have to swap between 100fps/10 bit color to 120 fps/8 bit

#

If you go DCH for the display driver, you need to grab NVCP from the microsoft store anyway

#

yeah, that's true, i just think most people overlook it and are unaware of it because of the presence of GXP

#

or at least that is what i have found in my limited experiences

#

small indie company nvidia still giving me the 404 on the drivers directly from their servers

#

@lone pond I got a question for you, im a little confused.

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:01 AM

#

ok sure i will help how i can

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 12:03 AM

#

Okay, i tried one last time installing nivdia geforce, didnt work. I did a custom clean install, screen went black ,it said it was successful, but now its asking me to install the same driver again, so I did, and its asking again. So now I'm about to download DDU, is there a way I can share my screen with you or you can walk me through it, i cant even see where to download it

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:03 AM

#

you just need to find what to download?

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 12:04 AM

#

Yeah. im at the page you sent, I juist dont see where to download DDU

#

Got it, ty. I think i can figure it out but not quite sure. Says i need to disconnect from the internetr

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:05 AM

#

it should be pretty straight forward, just make sure that when ddu forces you to reboot, you get into safe mode

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 12:06 AM

#

Will it be weird if i called you for two seconds, i got everything on screen just not sure what to press, i could share my screen then. If youre busy i understand

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:07 AM

i am waiting on my dinner to be finished but i can help you in a bit

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 12:08 AM

#

Okay, ill wait a sec

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:24 AM

#

Ya, unplugging the ethernet or disabling the ethernet adapter is a sure way to prevent windows from auto-installing whatever it chooses

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

Okay, I unsintalled things with ddu, installed a driver, it said it was successful, still having white lines.

#

Could it be the HDMI port? I dont have an HDMI to DP cord. Maybe if I just used display ports instead of HDMI?

#

My grahpics card still says error 43

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

Which geforce driver did you install after DDU?

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 12:54 AM

#

I tried the newest one, then I tried an older one before that, and both gave the same results

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

To clarify, you have two 1080p 60hz displays, both using HDMI?

#

One into the GPU, the other into the mobo but using the GPU's output?

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

I only have one plugged in because theres only one HDMI on the GPU. the other one is plplugged

#

theres 3 display port plugs, only one HDMI

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

Do you mean ~~432.06~~ as teh newest one?
edit: meant 436.02

#

Ah

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

436.02 is the newest one its telling me

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

Oops, ya, that is the newest, just updated today.

#

Do you have any DP cables to test? Pardon if you've already answered.

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 12:57 AM

#

No

#

I can go out and buy one probably

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

While I think it's a good idea to have an extra DP cable or two for testing, you'll definitely get one with whatever monitor you upgrade to.

#

I only assume you plan to upgrade monitor since you have a 2080 ti on a 1080p 60hz display

#

yes, you're underutilizing that gpu with 60 hz monitors

#

Then again, if you're like me and use the 2080 ti for everything but gaming, no pressure to upgrade

#

I'm hesitant to recommend 3rd party software, but https://egpu.io/forums/expresscard-mpcie-m-2-adapters/script-nvidia-error43-fixer/ this might be worth checking out, lemme read up on it a bit.

#

it's mentioned in this thread https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-graphics-cards/5/288138/rtx-2080-ti-code-43/
Btw the feforce forums UI is an optical migraine IMO

@uneven steppe Did you get a chance to run a userbench? Also, would you be ok sharing a picture of the inside of the case as such? https://puu.sh/DAR6q.jpg just a regular shot of the insides

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 1:21 AM

My friend just helped me do that, when I cliked run GPU test it said "Your GFX-card does not support the required features for this test"

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 1:21 AM

Also, I'm reading through that "error 43 fixer .bat" file, looks legit so far to me

I tried it already, didnt work lol

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 1:22 AM

reseat the gpu and check the power plugs

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

Got a buddy on the line with me whose been helping me, he suggested the benchmark test

#

Did that with the other computer, and this one as well

same issue persisted

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

i feel like the gpu is defective since it wasn't showing clock speeds

uneven steppe Aug 21, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

For the second time? Really?

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

i have had issues with precision x1 not showing clock speeds

#

but that had been resolved reinstalling clean

#

Ya, that is very strange, could be a DCH / non DCH driver mixup, hard to say. As for not showing clock speeds, you also need to load the GPU for GPU-z to show properly

#

That's why it's showing 1.1 speed at least, but that could be caused by other issues

#

oh sorry you meant gpuz not showing clock speeds

ok shoot

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:32 AM

It is it between the RTX 2070 and RX 5700 XT go for the 5700 XT 😛

It is between this https://www.newegg.ca/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-gv-n166toc-6gd/p/N82E16814932131?Description=1660 ti&cm_re=1660_ti-_-14-932-131-_-Product

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

inconsequential

wild gorge Aug 21, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

I also don't understand the difference in the clock speeds

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

Id go with the Gigabyte

wild gorge Aug 21, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

the ASUS has 2 clock speeds while the gigabyte has only 1

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

i like asus better

#

squirtle

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

Well with the Asus card you would be using most of the time the gaming mode

wild gorge Aug 21, 2019, 2:35 AM

#

The gigabyte also has a much bigger heatsink and it seems better reviews. But I prefered the outputs on the ASUS

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 2:35 AM

#

asus is 12002 mem clock, gigabyte is 12000

#

DogKek

#

and asus does opengl 4.6, giga 4.5

wild gorge Aug 21, 2019, 2:36 AM

#

is that a big deal?

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 2:36 AM

#

no

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:36 AM

#

That Asus card is also using their old DCU thing

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 2:36 AM

#

asus is better if you want a better out of the box "oc" experiance

wild gorge Aug 21, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

I don't want to mess with settings and clock speeds, I'd prefer plug n play

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

gigabyte cooler is a lot better tho between those two as ecks says

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

@wraith pasture dumb question but does RGB on a GPU sometimes effects the heating?

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

the heatsink fins actually span the entire card on the gigabyte card, asus for this version only covers chip and vrm

#

no

wild gorge Aug 21, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

That heatsink thing was a concern of mine for the Asus

#

I just wasn't sure how much of a deal that is

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 2:39 AM

#

honestly those gpus won't likely be hitting throttling temps with either heatsink

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:40 AM

#

I replaced the thermal paste on my Asus RX 570 earlier and i am kind of surprised there is no thermal pads for the VRM

📎 20190820_152422_HDR.jpg

#

Also it was hard and i had to scrape it off the heatsink

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

caked

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

oddly there was hardly any on the die

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 2:41 AM

use isopropyl alcohol next time, don't scrape

#

That's a good thing

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:42 AM

#

@lone pond i did 99%

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 2:42 AM

wraith pasture Aug 21, 2019, 2:42 AM

bought it new?

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:46 AM

#

before i changed the thermal paste when playing a demanding game i would get 80c at 100% fan speed and when i replaced it i got 71c 60% fan speed and yes i bought it new on Newegg

#

what are you at now

gray vapor Aug 21, 2019, 2:49 AM

#

when on idle i have my fan speed at 20% and it sits at 28c when playing something like Division 2 or Shadow of the Tomb Raider i put it at 60% and i now get between 65 to 71c

I thought that was only with the 2070 and not the 2070 super

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

The black edition uses a "Non-A" TU102-300-A1 chip vs the higher bin TU201-300A-A1.

#

Non-A cards have a 280W power limit vs 320-400+W power limits on others.

@granite juniper thing is

#

The only info I've read about 5700xt comparison is buildzoid's vid on the strix 5700xt saying it had the best VRM. No idea if that's something that will come into play for your use case. But given your intent to shunt mod, I'd guess so.

#

Is the 5700xt okay for my 1440p gaming requirements if i was to use the pcie 3.0 x8 slot over the x16 slot?

uhhh I can’t really answer that idk

cause idk if you could move the pump to the middle fan

#

I don’t do custom loops

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

I can screw it to the middle fan

#

Just gotta think about tubing

granite juniper Aug 21, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

yeah

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

Im thinking about the tube from pump to rad primarily

granite juniper Aug 21, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

yeah you could see if you could move it up

#

yeah you could always cut a little off or make it have a big curve to it

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Also its not that noticeable only if you look at it, used the pc for like, 2 months? Tubing going slightly yellow

granite juniper Aug 21, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

what is in the loop?

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Currently

granite juniper Aug 21, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

yeah

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

Pump>radiator>cpu block> pump

granite juniper Aug 21, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

no the liquid

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

Oh

#

X1 mayhems clear i think

granite juniper Aug 21, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

hmm yeah idk why there would be yellow stuff in it

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

No its not yellow stuff in it

#

The tubing is yellow but in the res its clear

#

So its the tube

granite juniper Aug 21, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Oh ic

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Thats why im confused

granite juniper Aug 21, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

could just be the color like flaking out

#

well I’ve gtg I’ve got classes

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

Bye

#

UV light can turn some brominated plastics like polyurethane yellow over time.

#

@lone pond but what would have uv light?

#

I use mayhems clear tube

#

The sun, fluorescent lamps, other things could cause the mystery yellow as well.

@gray vapor my tubing going yellow on custom loop, though not the water

#

Thats still clear

#

Well liquid

#

Not water

worldly crow Aug 21, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

is it soft tubing?

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

Yes

#

Mayhems clear

#

And mayhems clear x1 fluid

worldly crow Aug 21, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

had any yellow dye in it recently

#

?

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

Nope

#

If i had dye in it

worldly crow Aug 21, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

hmmm then im stoked

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

I would of thought that

#

Yeah its only the tubing going yellow

#

The res shows the fluid is clear

#

Still

#

So im stoked too

worldly crow Aug 21, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

im going to hardline soon cause i noticed softtubing changes colors and can change colors from dye

#

and also get stained

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

It doesn’t necessarily bother me too much as long as its not a problem

worldly crow Aug 21, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

hardtubing i heard never changes color

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

Don't worry about it imo, I'd take apart the cpu block to inspect clean just out of curiosity. Probably not necessary.

#

Phone may die soon

#

So if i go thats why

#

I did clean everything before i set it up

#

By putting pure h2o in the loop, running it, replacing it, running it and replacing with fluid

#

So im stoked

worldly crow Aug 21, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

u ran it with regular water or distilled?

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 5:53 PM

#

@worldly crow mayhems pure h2o

lone pond Aug 21, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

Isn't that just distilled water

#

Its just pure h2o

#

@lone pond so yeah think so

worldly crow Aug 22, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

why clue why they call it pure h20 when its just boiled water.

Ayee

#

What would you say if money if not a problem lol

gray vapor Aug 22, 2019, 4:06 AM

you would then have to look into something like a 2080

lone pond Aug 22, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

Wow so it is possible

gray vapor Aug 22, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

I don't know when AMD will be releasing Hybrid Ray Tracing but for now RTX cards are the only one's that can do it

lone pond Aug 22, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

I hopes it comes out soon ಥ‿ಥ

gray vapor Aug 22, 2019, 4:08 AM

#

Well AMD filed a patent for is like June or July

#

and AMD likes to take their time with things like this

lone pond Aug 22, 2019, 4:10 AM

#

Aye well thanks m8 I thought a 2080 would not work but I have very little experience in in graphic cards ........ ( I have a lot to learn)

#

But if you put a 2080 ti that will not work right ? It to powerful?

gray vapor Aug 22, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

The only reason why i suggested the 2080 and not the 2070 Super is because the RX 5700 XT is pretty much on par with the 2070 Super

#

2080 Ti will work just might get a little bit of a bottleneck

lone pond Aug 22, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

what's a good card with a 3700x?

dense flicker Aug 22, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

what use

gray vapor Aug 22, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

i feel like i just had this conversation ThinkingEgg

dense flicker Aug 22, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

rx 570 budget 1660ti mid range 2070/2060super high range and 2080/super/ti for crazy high range

#

all cards will do 1080p 60fps no issues

#

but for 1440p gaming go 1660ti or higher imo

#

for 1440p at a high refresh rate go even higher

#

for vr the rx 570 is perfectly fine but id upgrade to a 1660ti

#

for ray tracing id do rtx 2060 super/2070 or higher

#

and if i didnt mind emptying my wallet and going into debt id get the last option, the 2080/super/ti

#

if youre just using ur computer for web browsing and email and dont use graphics whatsoever integrated graphics are adequate or get a gt 710 or something small and cheap

#

and thats all i have to say about graphics cards 😤

#

one last note 1050ti is a no no :D (unless you find it for super cheap used or something)

#

oh and a lot of people here will say get the 5700xt but personally i prefer nvidia

#

ok bye

If you want high end reasonable price, 5700 XT. If you want ALL the performances with no regard for your wallet's health, 2080S or 2080Ti.

I don't get this insistence on suggesting stuff with no consideration for what people need - things like budget, what games are primarily played, what type of panel it's powering are really critical. Like if he's playing esports titles at 1080/60 resolution, a 5700xt is exceedingly excessive

#

And you could cut the money someone's spending on a GPU in half

gray vapor Aug 22, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

Well see most people on here usually plays something a little more than just LoL or Overwatch like for an example the Doom games

#

Also pubg can get a little demanding as well

lone pond Aug 22, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

Ok, that's great but lots of people also don't and I'm not sure making blanket statements without consideration for everything else within a build is going to help people, as this guy above may have just spent more money than he needed, or perhaps didn't get enough for what he needed

gray vapor Aug 22, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

Well so far a lot of people i talked to and helped always mentioned Cyberpunk 2077

#

So i would tend to suggest something like a 2060/2070 or 5700/XT

lone pond Aug 22, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

You're missing my point entirely. Your suggestions should be more specific to an individual's needs and questions. He said nothing of what games he's playing, what res/ refresh he's at, etc

gray vapor Aug 22, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

Also when there is someone here asking for a build that can play games like LoL or Overwatch i would suggest just using a Ryzen 5 2400G/3400G

I'm plenty settled, just don't think it's sound advice to tell people to spend money on stuff without really knowing what they're trying to do. I'm trying to help by getting people reliable info for what they need, not what i think they need. I don't wanna send people off to buy stuff without more info."hey you said you need a truck? Naah, this sedan will be fine even though you have to haul dirt." Match the suggestion to their needs is all I am saying 😊

with a single rx 580 it gets 30 fps

1440p with raytracing on max setting? I dont think so 😛

Looking for some input. Found someone on Craigslist selling an RX 5700 new for $260. I currently have a Vega 64 Reference. I'm looking to go SFF with my case so I would like something that runs cooler. Do you think it's worth it?

lone pond Aug 23, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

@swift hare let

#

's think about this - i'm not saying that to be condescending but let's figure out if that's a worthwhile upgrade

#

you will be stuck with your vega 64 unless you want to recycle it for another build or resell it, which may be kind of tough in this market

#

although, honestly, i don't know for sure how hard it would be to sell a used vega 64. there may be a lot more interest out there for those than i anticipate

#

you're getting a performance gain, and i can't decide this for you, will it be worth the hassle? now if the issue is fitment in a SFF case then yeah you may not have a real choice

swift hare Aug 23, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

Yeah, that's what I'm contemplating, not sure how the market is for a used Vega 64 but I would like something that runs a bit cooler

lone pond Aug 23, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

i get that you're aiming for lower temps but

#

well if your highest concern is lower temps you'll probably have those

#

if you get an AIB card, not a reference

#

if he's selling a reference card with a blower you may not see temp decreases

swift hare Aug 23, 2019, 5:31 PM

#

True, yeah it's a ref. card

lone pond Aug 23, 2019, 5:32 PM

#

that is kind of a bummer cuz IMO that's a dealbreaker, especially when temps are a huge cocern

#

that being said, a blower card may be more effective in a SFF case if you have an AIO and little other airflow

#

but that's pure conjecture

#

that is where a blower card will make a difference, when there's minimal airflow through the case

feral axle Aug 23, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

Should I just buy the reference 2070 super from Nvidia or wait till aib partners get in stock in a month and pray they don’t skyrocket prices?

lone pond Aug 23, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

there's a lot to unpack in that question, so the answer is maybe lol

little slate Aug 23, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

The reference cards from nvidia are technically the best ones

lone pond Aug 23, 2019, 5:35 PM

#

that's not exactly an accurate statement

swift hare Aug 23, 2019, 5:35 PM

#

Yeah, I'm not sure it'll be worth the hassle, I'm sure i'm fine to continue using it until a better card releases and the future and recycle the Vega for a 2nd build

lone pond Aug 23, 2019, 5:35 PM

#

honestly @swift hare that is what i would do, too, especially if you're not feeling limited by the performance of your vega

#

cuz you're looking at a sidegrade-ish on your video card

#

if it was a significant and clear upgrade, from like an old ati 7950 or something then yeah

#

@feral axle i don't expect to see gouging of the 5700xts like you did the turing GPUs at launch, but that's always a gamble. it depends on your patience and if you wanna save $100

#

they may be a few extra bucks once they come back but

swift hare Aug 23, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

Thanks! I might just keep what I have for now then.

lone pond Aug 23, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

if you see that kind of deal on an AIB/third party card, i'd be much warmer on it

#

but also now that i think of it, i presume you're going to have your SFF by a TV/media center so acoustics are important too

#

so you definitely don't want the blower card

swift hare Aug 23, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

Yeah, i'm still on the fence about what I want. I've crammed the 2600x/ Vega 64 into a Node 202 before, but sold it and went back to using my H200i but now I feel like having something portable again.

lone pond Aug 23, 2019, 5:42 PM

that would be a solid LAN box type thing, for sure

granite juniper Aug 23, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

@little slate that’s not true. Look at the high end ones, like amp extreme, strix, gaming x, whatever that high end evga one is, they all beat it

#

the FE is more of a middle card, that beats the cheaper blowers and ties mid range ones

little slate Aug 23, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

eh, I don't think it's that simple

#

the FE are generally the best in silicone lottery, because nvidia simply keeps the best to themselves

#

so while the custom cards feature better cooling, power delivery, etc, you should theoretically be able to push an FE card futher

granite juniper Aug 23, 2019, 7:11 PM

So what is holding you back besides your wallet ThinkingEgg

granite juniper Aug 23, 2019, 11:36 PM

#

my wallet

worldly crow Aug 23, 2019, 11:37 PM

#

i paid 160 long time ago for my r7 1700

#

thats when 2 came out

#

surprised its not 100 by now

#

i have mine at 3.8 but still want one better lol

#

i do have to say EVGA is the best company ever lol,

junior ridge Aug 23, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

what?

#

you guys buy stuff?

#

but nah fr i paid >200 for my 1700x

granite juniper Aug 23, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

i payed $170 for my 2600x

This should be in the #cpus-mobo-and-memory

i just realized i put my stuff in the wrong channel lmao

wide mango Aug 24, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

should i just get the regular 5700 instead of the xt if i dont have a 1440p monitor?

lone pond Aug 24, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

Game, preferene, and CPU/RAM all play in

wide mango Aug 24, 2019, 4:42 AM

#

i5 6600k cpu, DDR4 3000 16gb corsair vengeance ram, cyberpunk 2077, high settings

#

just got a new 144hz 1080p monitor

#

1440p monitor is overbudget for me if i want a 5700 series

#

so im looking at just settling for a 5700 or maybe i should fork out another 50 for just a better card since its so close in price

#

but it seems the 5700xt for 1080p would be overkill but i dunno

violet dock Aug 24, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

I think that would be a pretty good spot. would let you upgrade in the future to a decent 2k pannel too

lone pond Aug 24, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

Is it true that xfx allows gpu disassembly?

#

EVGA does

#

@lone pond i know that but evga dont make 5700 xt...

#

Lol, my b, didn't read

violet dock Aug 24, 2019, 5:14 AM

#

If your In the USA warranty void things arent applicable

lone pond Aug 24, 2019, 5:14 AM

#

Im in the uk

#

I just want a gpu maker that allows card disassembly

#

@violet dock

violet dock Aug 24, 2019, 5:17 AM

#

I unfortunately cannot offer much more than that. Depending on what your doing I am unsure how fussy some GPU manufacturers for AMD are

Is it really worth doing a custom loop for just the cpu?

lone pond Aug 24, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

@little slate thats why im adding my gpu later when I actually have a block for it

#

But nice try

lone pond Aug 24, 2019, 12:48 PM

#

Do xfx allow waterblocks? Idk wether to return my sapphire and get an xfx?

lone pond Aug 24, 2019, 1:12 PM

#

So my waterblock got lost in the post 🙄

#

How fun

little slate Aug 24, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

nice try? it was a legitimate question o.o

lone pond Aug 24, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

If i have a sapphire 5700 xt should i get the 50th anniversary edition that’s slightly cheaper and return the old since its a slightly higher clock and it will be watercooled?

#

@little slate o.o

anyone know if the "EVGA Hybrid" words that are rgb can be changed to a different color?

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

i don’t think they are

#

the majority aren’t iirc

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

darn that sux

#

crazy my Mobo can sync to my music but vga cant even chage

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

I guess it does, Precision X1 software

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

if its rgb graphics its controlled by the led tab on precision x

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

So the fan on my gpu is mainly just stopped not spinning, it spins once in a while when it feels like it. I have not tried gaming on it yet, is it one of those things that if the gpu senses it needs more air it will turn on?

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

custom fan curve?

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

Um not sure what that means sorry

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

have you changed the gpu fan systems or just left it from the factory

#

like in msi afterburner or something

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

i didnt mess with the gpu fans no

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

fan might be going out try getting in a game if its bad itll crash

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

^

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

but if it is the fan they are cheap to replace them

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

what gpu?

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

u can get kits on ebay

#

is it a new gpu?

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

i have the precision x1 from evga when I look at the fan speed its set to auto with fan 1 to 0% and fan 2 at 25 %

#

yea brand new, 2080ti hybrid

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

i always set mine to 100% but thats how i like them

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

might just be that its not hot enough for them to turn on

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

yea try getting in a game

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

since its a hybrid it will run cooler

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

temp is at 35c

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

cause the watercooling stuff

#

yeah thats super low

#

as long as its not over 90c its fine

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

yea fan might not be needed sometimes cause of the liquid cooling

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

ok Just wanted to make sure its not a faulty fan

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

try playing a demanding game thatll tell u if u should be worried or not

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

it runs but not always, it will like spin up then stop and goes on for about 2 minutes then just stops and stays still

#

but the temp stay same

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

if it overheats and crashes then u have a problem if not itll stay kool make sure the OSD is turned on in precision x1 itll display temps and ram usage and such on the screen

#

OSD is on the right side at the bottom of precision x

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

Im running the cam app that tracks the temps on a different screen

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

ah

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

I dont have any games yet to test I just got os on it last night

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

i use the evga one its alot easier

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

looking at the evga one and cam its identical as far as temp but I guess its whatever one prefers

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

so you dont have any games on it rn right?

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:22 PM

no not yet

np

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

in your opinion though is it better to have the fan running at all times or let it do its own thing?

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

auto should be fine

#

unless you know how to set a good fan curve or think its getting too loud/hot, the factory one is fine

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

i do it cause i like it to be the coolest it can be and my case is huge so i dont really hear the fans

#

you have a watercooler hooked up to it also so its fine for yours

lusty kraken Aug 24, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

I dont mind the noise as long as its cool, my case is pretty qiet as of now

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

plus i wont be keeping my EVGA GTX 1070 SC for much too longer by christmas ima get a rtx 2060 super and waterblock it

#

or 2070 super havent decided yet

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

why not a 5700 xt 🤔

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

my setup is evga atm

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

Also, no raytracing

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

amd is working on that\

#

the 5900 series will have ray tracing but none other

#

and its rumored to be hbm2

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

the 2060S cant really do good raytracing tho

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

Yeah, but they won't be competitive in that range for at least 2 years

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

and its not full raytracing, just like shadows or a part of it

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

Nvidia will have majority marketshare for the foreseeable future

#

There's literally no reason to choose AMD over Nvidia in GPUs, aside from brand loyalty

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:31 PM

well whichever one i get WILL be waterblocked whether it be rtx or rx

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

63% faster lol

#

my friend had one of those he got a rtx 2060

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

thats stupid its like the same performance

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

nah the 2060 is faster it has faster memory

#

11k vs 14k speed

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

yeah but i wouldnt spend money unless its like 30% faster

#

but thats just me

worldly crow Aug 24, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

i went from a 780 to a 970 then a 1050 now a 1070 so next one i get will be waterblocked and gonna run hardline

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

The Nacho guy is right, it's like a, what 10% boost + RTX for I think $100 more in comparison to the 1070ti at launch?

junior ridge Aug 24, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

I paid about 80 for for my rtx

#

2070

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

The money spent does not correlate to the increased factor of power

gritty quartz Aug 24, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

Noice

#

I mean, 1080 to had the same price for same specs as a 2080 except the missing 3 gigs of vram which is rare to use

#

Ti not to

#

So a 2080 is worth it for a new pc

#

Upgrade no

#

But new

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

If there was a graphics card in existence that could run every setting on RE2 Remake at max, I would buy that card lol

#

I don't think it exists though

junior ridge Aug 24, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

It depends on what youre upgrading from lmao

gritty quartz Aug 24, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

Mind you, I was on a GTX 970 before

#

I mean

#

I can run remake re2 at max

junior ridge Aug 24, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

Wait are you saying the 1080 and 2080 are identical except for vram?

dense flicker Aug 24, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

whaaatttt

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

No, you can't. There are a bunch of individualized settings in RE2 Remake that you can't max out due to GPU RAM constraints

gritty quartz Aug 24, 2019, 7:00 PM

#

1080ti is the same as a rtx2080 on a performance basis without the rare raytracing

Not the 1080ti

gritty quartz Aug 24, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

What resolution?

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 7:01 PM

but raytracing is kinda useless since it like halves the fps

2K

junior ridge Aug 24, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

Its useless cause itndoesnt do anything

gritty quartz Aug 24, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

Depending on the game

#

Ok, you need to say that

#

I can put it at 1080p and max it out easy

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

Oh

gritty quartz Aug 24, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

:p

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

Yeah, I can do that too lol

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

its kinda like 4k 144hz, its only gonna be useful in like 5 years

#

but not rn its not useful

gritty quartz Aug 24, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

I got 2 rtx 2080s and re2 remake runs really high for me though for 60fps

#

Not max, but close

#

I'm on a 2k uw

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

You SLI'd 2 2080s huh

granite juniper Aug 24, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

sli is kinda dead tho

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

I don't see the point personally. Nothing takes advantage of SLI

gritty quartz Aug 24, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

Yeah, I had a few that used it

#

Well, some games were supposed to support it cough ff15 cough but now it needs heavy tweaking to use it

#

And luck

outer plover Aug 24, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

Oh God

14 was ok, I'm not a huge fan of mmo

processing horse power, current gaming compnay aligning along the Nvidia arch .

sweet juniper Aug 25, 2019, 1:34 AM

but the pricing on the 5700 seems to be better

fast estuary Aug 25, 2019, 1:34 AM

#

Nvidia support is also much more on top of issues.

#

radeon driver support has a rough and spotty history

#

it is you asked about those specific cards

#

5700 is a great card

#

but not beter than the 2080

sweet juniper Aug 25, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

now, which one is better? geforce or titan cards?

fast estuary Aug 25, 2019, 1:36 AM

same core line more about packaging than real differences in tech

sweet juniper Aug 25, 2019, 1:37 AM

what do you have?

went from dual 1070's to a single 2080 have used both nvidia and radeon back and forht through my gaming life currently and have been since the 650ti on the nvidia side.

sweet juniper Aug 25, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

is there a difference between the 2070 and 2080?

fast estuary Aug 25, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

memory cores and speed mostly but alot of what that difference means depends on your usage

sweet juniper Aug 25, 2019, 1:40 AM

I mean I don't do hard gaming. I have the 1070 right now.

fast estuary Aug 25, 2019, 1:40 AM

depends actually what brand the ome mother boards have minimal bios adjustablity the water cooling is cool i have it on my rigs here from the factory. Alot of the update options are storage speed and memory and if the board can take a new procesor.

I'd start by updating the GPu driver, use DDU to wipe the old.

little slate Aug 25, 2019, 6:54 AM

#

check to make sure your fans are working right, thermal paste on the cpu and your cpu cooler installation

#

with performance that bad from your cpu, it makes me think that you've got some serious thermal issues

#

it's also only turboing to 4.3 ghz, which doesn't make any sense unless it's immediately hitting thermal limit when trying to boost. A stock 8700k is supposed to turbo to 4.7 ghz

#

my 8700k is overclocked to 5ghz, but here's what my results looked like from a quick userbenchmark with a bunch of stuff open in the background

#

https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/19581468

lone pond Aug 25, 2019, 7:02 AM

#

Edit: 133 single core is low, that means 4.3GHz for that chip. Might still be a cooling problem, but I'd check the bios/power settings.

Still shows driver 430.86 I thought the current was 436.02.

little slate Aug 25, 2019, 8:06 AM

#

I'm still confused about why your CPU only turbos to 4.3 ghz

lone pond Aug 25, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

I think you're right about suspecting thermals, I'd say run aida64 cpu bench and having him screenshot the temp graph or something.

little slate Aug 25, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

If it was just thermals, I'd think that his benchmark after updating a driver would still show very poor CPU performance

#

I think there might be something funky in his BIOS

hello i need some advice with my gpu fan. is anyone here able to help me out with a possible fix or finding a replacment fan?

is it not spinning

#

a lot of current gpus only run the fans if the gpu gets to a certain temp

random zenith Aug 26, 2019, 12:08 AM

its spinning slower the the other fan in the same gpu. when it tries to speed up it clicks and comes to a stop then trys to speed up again

olive flume Aug 26, 2019, 12:10 AM

#

So i have a radeon r9 390 8gb.. was verified by my very close and knowledgeable friend that it worked properly. He shipped the whole pc to me across the country, but didnt remove the gpu. It sags while on the board so it ended up ruining PCI slot on board and did something to card. Replaced board, still has vertical lines on screen. Took card apart, looked over it closely for hours and see no damage besides the fact the whole card itself is slightly bowed in the middle by PCI slot. I baked the card today following instructions to a T (what did i have to lose?) and the card still outputs vertical lines on screen. Any ideas???

4.8GHz for that cpu single core looks right

#

wdym more support?

gray vapor Aug 26, 2019, 4:42 AM

#

If your fans are broken for what ever reason you would most likely need to replace it

#

eventually Nvidia will drop drive support for the GTX 10 series and focus more on the 16 and 20 series

runic trail Aug 26, 2019, 4:43 AM

#

why?

#

so which GPU should I get?

gray vapor Aug 26, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

This is what Nvidia always does with their older cards because the 700 series like the 780 and 780 Ti is still good but from what i remember there isn't really driver support for it

#

So most likely when they come out with the RTX 30 series they would drop support for the 900 and 10 series

runic trail Aug 26, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

does AMD do that?

gray vapor Aug 26, 2019, 4:46 AM

I download the update for the bios and I'm set?

#

Also, don't I need to ask AMD to send me an update CPU?

All i know for that memory a bunch of friends are using it with their Ryzen systems and have no issues

#

Also it is RGB as well

#

It's not bad, go for it if you like the looks.

#

Well i was suggesting those over the one's you suggested just because they're also 3200MHz

Do I?

#

@runic trail Do you like RGB memory

#

They are a little more than what you are getting but it is also confirmed they are compatible with Ryzen 3000 series

If you aren't planning to OC memory, I'd pick what looks best

#

Well he would need to since most motherboards when set to auto for memory would be 2400MHz

#

True, XMP is an overclock. I meant above that or manual, etc

#

I have 3000MHz memory in my system but because my board was set to auto it brought it to 2400MHz

lone pond Aug 26, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

spd for those is 2133

gray vapor Aug 26, 2019, 5:32 AM

#

One thing i am going to do is replace my motherboard

#

I am still going for a B450 unless they make one that is like a B550

@gray vapor I love RGB memory

#

And yes if I have the chance, I'll OC the RAM

#

I should start posting useful content in #overclocking

#

Should've bought a 3600/x570 cheapo board just for testing/demo

gray vapor Aug 26, 2019, 5:36 AM

#

Would it be odd to overclock the 2600 to like 3.6GHz only? and yes i know it is only 200MHz more

#

I know my CPU can hit 4 to 4.1GHz with no problem but just was thinking to slowly overclock in time

I changed the RAM
