I usually keep mine on 250% SS with my 2080ti and I tried it on my laptop which could only do like 80% and it was not a good experience

grizzled arrow
#

the 1660 super beats the 590

snow island
#

DDR5 vs DDR6

grizzled arrow
#

gddr5 vs gddr6, new architecture

summer peak
#

No, the 1660 super doesn't beat the 590

#

in terms of raw performance

wicked hound
#

@summer peak 590 is worse than 1660S

#

on average

hard wren
#

yes it is

summer peak
#

Literally every benchmark I'm looking up right now disproves that

#

It's either the same or better

hard wren
#

are you looking a super?

summer peak
#

yes

wicked hound
#

you looking at synthetics or average game benchmarks?

grizzled arrow
#

guess my friend had some nice overclocks, then

summer peak
#

synthetics tbf

#

3dmark etc

wicked hound
#

lol, of course AMD will win

#

they have great raw compute power

hard wren
#

it cant be winning in light rendering

wicked hound
#

but actual game perf is different tho

rancid nova
#

what do you mean win

hard wren
#

it could multi render faster though

wicked hound
#

pretty sure the 590 is even beat or matches the 1660 non S, I think

rancid nova
#

there is no winning its not a race

summer peak
#

Either way, it's close

hard wren
#

I would agree very close

summer peak
#

looking up game benchmarks it appears you're right in general

wicked hound
#

I wouldnt really go with 590 myself. Even 580 is a hard choice cuz 1650S (1650 non S is trash)

hard wren
#

and if the 590 is cheaper....

lone pond
#

I've heard navi is a pretty big leap from vega in terms of overall gaming QoL.

hard wren
#

lol

wicked hound
#

580 is a little bit more perf than 1650S, but 1650S has new NVENC so yee

granite juniper
#

vega was really high price compared to performance cause of hbm2

wicked hound
#

vega was amazing raw compute, but "meh" gaming

lone pond
#

590 , lacking vp9, etc etc, would have to be well under the 200 it's been for the last yearish to be of value, never really understood it.

#

anyone remember the radeon VII

summer peak
#

it is well under 200

#

you can get a 590 for like 170

granite juniper
#

for 8gb of hbm2, it costs like $150 afaik

lone pond
#

Ya, but open cl support is nothing like cuda.

grizzled arrow
wicked hound
#

Semi navi is a mix of both. Actual Navi with full on RDNA arch will be great gaming and meh compute, my expectations at least

hard wren
#

thats a 1660ti....

#

not a 1660 super

#

oh nvm

wicked hound
#

UB isnt a good source of info tbh

hard wren
#

im an idiot

wicked hound
#

not very accurate most of the time

lone pond
#

who uses that site?

#

like really? in 2019?

summer peak
#

UB can give you a general idea but it really isn't good for accuracy yeah

lone pond
hard wren
#

not me apparently since I didnt see the selections at the top

summer peak
granite juniper
#

their gpu's are semi okay, but cpu's aren't really accurate that much

lone pond
#

10 years ago, AMD cards like the 5870/5970 were insanely powerful on general HPC compute vs nvidia's lineup. Nvidia has always heavily gimped float and double precision on consumer cards.

grizzled arrow
#

can somebody find one that is more accurate, then?

summer peak
#

All I know is I can't really recommend nvidia at most price points

wicked hound
#

@grizzled arrow idk, hardware unboxed?

summer peak
#

gamers nexus

lone pond
wicked hound
#

No general benchmarker will be accurate

#

or synthetic one

novel jungle
#

Can I ask a question about my gpu here or is that reserved for another channel?

summer peak
#

you can

hard wren
#

pretty sure this is the channel

lone pond
#

the "only" reason I'm here now is because someone is doing a giveaway and require me to be here

hard wren
#

lol you dont have to stay....

#

if you dont want to

lone pond
#

πŸ‘Œ

#

I'm out

novel jungle
#

So when im playing games my screen goes black. I can still hear audio im just not getting any video. Is this my GPU crashing or something else?

lone pond
#

bye everyone

summer peak
#

don't leave me here alone oh god

hard wren
#

later

grizzled arrow
#

I'me here because of that, but I like it here

novel jungle
#

I have a Gigabtye GTX 1060 6gb Windforce

hard wren
#

have you updated the gpu recently?

lone pond
#

Hey, can someone help me?
I have an AMD RX 570 8 GB with an FX 6300, is my processor bottlenecking my graphics card?

novel jungle
#

Yes latest drivers

hard wren
#

@lone pond burn the FX 6300 with fire and buy a new motherboard and cpu

lone pond
#

Why?

summer peak
#

Yes, that processor is bottlenecking the RX 570

#

quite a bit

#

it's a very low end processor

#

old too

wicked hound
#

well, what Hz is your monitor?

hard wren
#

@novel jungle check all the power connectors to the card. What type of powersupply

summer peak
#

@novel jungle That could be a driver issue, it could be a cable issue, it could be your card overheating, it could be your card dying, it could be a monitor issue... I don't really know what to tell you.

wicked hound
#

If it's 60Hz then it's kinda a bottleneck

novel jungle
#

850 watt,

hard wren
#

80+ cert?

wicked hound
#

what model?

#

80+ means nothing

#

80+ plat can still be trash

summer peak
#

I mean it means a little bit

novel jungle
#

Corsair 80+ silver?

summer peak
#

it's just efficiency

hard wren
#

its means something just not a lot

wicked hound
#

more detaillllss

hard wren
#

and terrible brands dont certify

wicked hound
#

One is much better off asking for model rather than cert

novel jungle
#

I did buy the gpu second hand of craigslist so it may just be a dead gpu and I need to get a new one

wicked hound
#

Just list the PSU model and I can tell if it's good or bad

#

Corsair does make some bad PSUs after all

hard wren
#

does the pc shut off when screen goes black? Is it recoverable or do you have to restart?

wicked hound
#

VS series for example isnt that great

novel jungle
#

I have to restart

lone pond
#

check your gpu temp

novel jungle
#

Corsair RM850x is the psu

#

I did

hard wren
#

what about windows updates?

novel jungle
#

Normally stays at 40C

lone pond
#

I don't want to know what it idles at

novel jungle
#

Everything updated

lone pond
#

what I Want to know is what is it running at when you play games

hard wren
#

all games or just one

novel jungle
#

Under load it stays at 60-80

lone pond
#

yea

#

1 game or all?

novel jungle
#

All

wicked hound
#

That PSU should be fine then

novel jungle
#

Ranging from DCUO to BDO

hard wren
#

I say ddu it and reinstall drivers

lone pond
#

also unistall your windows updates

hard wren
lone pond
#

see if you have problems still

wicked hound
#

update BIOS, potentially GPU BIOS as well as a last thing to do

hard wren
#

very last thing on that gpu bios flash

#

try everything else first

lone pond
#

the nif all doesn't work

#

pour gasoline on your pc

#

burn it

novel jungle
#

Also. Does an I74930k bottleneck the gpu I have?

lone pond
#

πŸ‘Œ

hard wren
#

yes with that guys fx6300

wicked hound
#

should help with resoldering the die back on

hard wren
#

the old oven trick

grizzled arrow
#

4790k shouldn't bottleneck unless you have a pretty good card

hard wren
#

no it doesnt

novel jungle
#

4930k not 4790k

hard wren
#

the 1060 winforce is not being bottlenecked

grizzled arrow
#

whoops

#

then even firmer no

hard wren
#

LOL

#

I feel like my 2080ti is getting bottlenecked since AMD and Intel cant increase core clocks anymore

novel jungle
#

Why is it an even firmer no?

hard wren
#

that cpu has more than enough power for that GPU

novel jungle
#

Ok so its a good cpu. I thought since its older it would be a bit bad πŸ˜„

hard wren
#

I7's dont go bad they are like a fine wine for many years

grizzled arrow
#

it's a firmer no because that's a six core cpu. the 4790k is 4c 8t

hard wren
#

4th,5th,6th,7th all ok 8th 9th amazing

novel jungle
#

Its also paired with 32gb of ram so im nit sure if that helps?

hard wren
#

it doesnt hurt

#

I do think the card is dying but it could just be a driver error

novel jungle
#

Ok one last question. With my specs should I be able to stream 720p 60fps? My internet is 250 mbps down and 110 up.

hard wren
#

should be fine

#

I wish I had that 110 up

#

I am a 544mbps down 38mbps up

novel jungle
#

Nice!

#

I wish installers wouldnt limit the amount of download they use

hard wren
#

you will have a nice stream with that much up speed

lone pond
#

I'm 200/200

novel jungle
#

Ive had people say it looks blocky and pixelated though...

hard wren
#

you and your symmetrical connection

#

I would have to sign up for comcast business for that

#

@novel jungle that is odd

grizzled arrow
#

~830 KB/s when I'm the only one on internet

hard wren
#

it shouldnt be pixelated at that speed

#

do you remember what your baud rate was?

novel jungle
#

My birate is set to 4700

#

The max twitch allows is 6k i think

hard wren
#

dont know how many bits you send per symbol

novel jungle
#

If you look me up and watch my past streams you can see it.

#

At least thats what people tell me

hard wren
#

I'm not really an expert on streaming or anything

#

maybe someone else that does can give you better advice but to me it seems like you have plenty of bandwidth to stream and the cpu isnt an issue and you have 32g of ram

lone pond
#

6k yes. Parters sometimes 8k - but it's very much a limiting factor, especially on NVENC

hard wren
#

Also I have no idea what part the GPU could play in streaming other than playing the game....

void haven
#

RTX 2080 TI am i right

novel jungle
#

I use x265 not nvenc

void haven
#

#RTX on

hard wren
#

and I mean that in a I really dont know way not like I dont think the gpu plays a role way lol

novel jungle
#

It may just be my settings. But if I was to upgrade my gpu what would be a good upgrade from the 1060 i have?

hard wren
#

how much are you looking to spend

granite juniper
#

^

novel jungle
#

$500 ish?

hard wren
#

2070super

#

can probably find one just below that price 450-500

novel jungle
#

Specific brand or just that type?

hard wren
#

just that type most brands are fine EVGA, ASUS,MSI, Gigabyte

summer peak
#

RX 5700xt tbh

novel jungle
#

Most people get the Asus stuff so I may get that πŸ˜„

summer peak
#

cheaper for the same performance

hard wren
#

even a Zotac would be ok just not one you've never heard of

#

I would go evga over asus but thats just personal preference and evga has been very good to me customer service wise

#

@summer peak I knew you were going to pop up lol but there is no way you are going to convince me the 5700xt is going to beat the 2070super although it may be slightly cheaper

summer peak
#

I didn't say beat

#

though it literally does in some games

#

It's around the same performance

#

give or take 5%

#

and it's also 100 dollars cheaper

#

so...

#

Don't be a fanboy, get what's best for you

grizzled arrow
#

there's a thing called preference

hard wren
#

Too be fair I even asked a price first and had he said less than $400 I was going to suggest an AMD just for you @summer peak πŸ˜‰

summer peak
#

If you prefer to pay 100 dollars more for the same performance, sure

grizzled arrow
#

some want the performance, some value, and we can't forget about rtx

#

it isn't the same always

summer peak
#

It's literally the same within a 5% difference that leans both ways depending on the game.

#

This is a fact that can be demonstrated.

granite juniper
#

rtx is supported in like 6 games and is mainly a marketing gimmick

grizzled arrow
#

three letters

hard wren
#

and the 2070super destroys the 5700xt in 4k in every test although they are pretty neck and neck in 1440p

novel jungle
#

What did I start....

grizzled arrow
#

RTX

#

not all games, but the ones that do look pretty great

granite juniper
#

@hard wren thats the opposite of what happens...

grizzled arrow
#

also a new encoder

summer peak
#

@novel jungle People like to fanboy towards one company or another. Just do your own research between the 5700xt and the 2070 super.

hard wren
#

@novel jungle theres always a green team vs red team battle everytime you ask for a gpu

summer peak
#

The benchmarks and prices speak for themselves.

lone pond
#

I'm the consumers team

#

if it works and it's cheap

hard wren
#

@granite juniper what the gamersnexus comparison the 2070 wins in 4k everytime

#

it does lose a few times in 1440p though so it depends on what you are going to do for 1440p and below the 5700xt is a better value and performance

grizzled arrow
#

"RX 5700 XT is 6% slower at 1440p

RX 5700 XT is 9% slower at 4K

The value of the RX 5700XT is better (4.00 USD at 1440p against 4,65 and 7.45 vs 8.18 at 4K)"

lone pond
#

It's really nuts what % of #graphics-cards is 5700xt vs 2070 super haha. We should have a user competition or something.

grizzled arrow
#

the perf is there

#

the features are what cause the split

lone pond
#

RTX?

#

worthless

#

I admittingly parrot that.

grizzled arrow
#

worthless to some

summer peak
#

Hard agree that RTX is currently useless.

lone pond
#

encoder? hmmm user preferences

novel jungle
#

I play in 1080p... I dont have a 4k or 1440p panel...

grizzled arrow
#

user preference is what i'm getting at

summer peak
#

Name one game that looks substantially better with it that actually plays at a decent framerate on the 2070super

lone pond
#

I've used RTX for about 5 mins, not for me lol.

hard wren
#

I have used RTX like 4 times ok and it is was awesome those 4 times... lol

summer peak
#

The tech just isn't there yet

granite juniper
#

@hard wren i just watched it and the 5700 xt beat the 2070 in every single 4k benchmark...

summer peak
#

Quake and minecraft are cool and all but... They don't even run well

lone pond
#

price/performance? 5700XT wins

grizzled arrow
#

tomb raider has the easiest to run rtx out of major titles, and it's for the shadows and such. it's all about preference and immersion

#

price/perf yes

lone pond
#

so if you are just for pure performance the AMD offerings will win

#

most of the time

summer peak
#

Which is what consumers should be concerned about unless they know they want a specific feature like hardware encoding.

lone pond
#

^

novel jungle
#

1080p gamer cause im too poor to afford a fancier monitor

summer peak
#

bruh just get an rx 5700 not even an xt then

#

330 atm

#

really good cooler

rancid nova
#

same @novel jungle

granite juniper
#

and you can flash the xt bios for around 10% more performance

grizzled arrow
#

obv they should be concerned with price/perf

summer peak
#

you're not going to hit the point where you need a 5700xt or 2070 super

#

even the 5700 is kind of overkill for 1080p

lone pond
#

rx 580 is fine for 1080p

#

πŸ‘Œ

grizzled arrow
#

i just get tired of hearing that extra features for more money is in every case worthless

rancid nova
#

i have two 60hz 1080p monitors

summer peak
#

but it allows you to upgrade to a 1440p monitor later if you want

rancid nova
#

@novel jungle

novel jungle
#

I don't even have a high refresh rate monitor. I play racing games and mmos. My monitor is 75hz atm

summer peak
#

@grizzled arrow Nobody said that, but to 90% of consumers the features an nvidia card offers are useless unless they're streaming

rancid nova
#

πŸ€’

grizzled arrow
#

somebody did say that, actually

novel jungle
#

I just have the one monitor @rancid nova

summer peak
#

you shouldn't be recommending people spend 100 dollars more than they need to spend for a feature they don't even want

grizzled arrow
#

RTX?
worthless

lone pond
#

It is

#

I'm no backing down on that

novel jungle
#

27" flat 1080p 75hz monitor

grizzled arrow
#

no it isn't

summer peak
#

RTX is literally worthless.

#

It doesn't make games look substantially better except for tech demos like quake RTX or minecraft.

#

Those are experiments and a 2070 super can hardly run them at 60fps.

grizzled arrow
#

actually it can

lone pond
#

let's agree to disagree my friend

grizzled arrow
#

and it's all preference

#

some get more from it than others

summer peak
#

If your preference is to spend more for no reason sure.

#

You must be pretty well off.

grizzled arrow
#

there is a reason

summer peak
#

Don't assume other people are.

grizzled arrow
#

the reason is that you want the features

lone pond
#

this argument is worthless

summer peak
#

Again, most people won't want those features.

lone pond
#

and pointless

grizzled arrow
#

not everyone does, so the better option for them id a 5700xt

summer peak
#

So why do you jump to a 2070 super immediately without even asking if they for example stream

lone pond
#

you don't like people saying RTX is worthless?

novel jungle
#

Ok guys. Thats enough fighting please. I just asked which one I vould get and I got 2 good options. Thank you for your opinions and I will do some research before purchasing.

lone pond
#

that's what you have beefs with?

#

like really?

#

like you said

#

"user preferences"

grizzled arrow
#

fi didn't jump to it, i used it because it was the current convo

summer peak
#

smh

rancid nova
#

dont you guys have anything better to do other than argue about two graphics cards for an hour

lone pond
#

πŸ‘Œ

grizzled arrow
#

not really

summer peak
#

I'm off work so no

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

hard wren
#

I just want them to have a good experience whether it be with an Nvidia or AMD card and I will say I am partial to Nvidia but I also own a Radeon VII paperweight

rancid nova
#

what features does that amd card have that the rtx doesnt have

grizzled arrow
#

none of my friends are up for yugioh with no prior knowledge, so here i am

summer peak
#

better image sharpening algorithms for example

lone pond
#

Radeon VII was a mistake

summer peak
#

but that's not the point at all

grizzled arrow
#

amd cards have their features, nvidia has their own too

hard wren
#

it turned me green you could say

rancid nova
#

yes exactly

lone pond
#

heiii rx 580 is suoer awesome for 1080 gaming ...i am actually running one πŸ™‚

summer peak
#

most consumers won't care about those features

lone pond
#

highly recomanded

summer peak
#

most consumers are only going to want the best performance they can get for the best price

lone pond
#

lol, did you brick the bios? or

grizzled arrow
#

but those that do find value in them

summer peak
#

yes but you shouldn't by default recommend the more expensive card

#

that's bad for everyone

grizzled arrow
#

if you don't want those, get the one that fits your needs

#

im not reccommending

summer peak
#

you did

rancid nova
#

if someone likes their rtx let them be proud of their purchase

grizzled arrow
#

i came here saying that they arent worthless

lone pond
#

RTX

#

is

#

worthless

novel jungle
#

Oh I also want to do some light vr stuff and blender work. So would that change the recommendations?

lone pond
#

sorry bro

rancid nova
#

instead of criticizing their decision

summer peak
#

RTX is literally worthless. Again, name a single game that looks substantially better without tanking the performance for no reason.

#

most games use it for shadows or something and then halve the framerate.

#

or worse.

grizzled arrow
#

my starting line (to this argument) was that the user preference is what defines the decision

hard wren
#

its not optimal right now

grizzled arrow
#

if you don't want rtx, don't buy it

summer peak
#

raytracing tech just isn't there yet. It's only starting to become feasible.

grizzled arrow
#

it's a waste of money if you don't use it

lone pond
#

then why are you having beefs with me

#

and other people

#

having their preferences?

grizzled arrow
#

if you do want it, then buy it if it's worth it to you

summer peak
#

because you're a communist lole

hard wren
#

I could actually see RTX helping the movie industry far more than gamers it does take a lot of the load off the developers to not have to manually add shadows and light sources

summer peak
#

skeletor lookin ass

novel jungle
#

Im guessing thats a no?

grizzled arrow
#

rtx does help the movie industry

summer peak
#

@novel jungle RX 5700 is great for you.

#

Not even the XT. Save some money.

grizzled arrow
#

^

summer peak
#

The sapphire pulse 5700 is 330 right now

#

it's a great price for a great card

hard wren
#

@novel jungle it doesnt really change anything and Visi is right it could save you some money

grizzled arrow
#

that was my point

#

if you dont want rtx, dont buy it

lone pond
#

wasn't your point

grizzled arrow
#

user preference

lone pond
#

your point was " don't say those features are worthless "

#

and ppl say it anyways

novel jungle
#

I dont think id make use of rtx with the games I play πŸ˜…

broken rose
#

Hey guys, I barely know anything about computers, but I bought one a year ago, and its a really shitty one, I started streaming months ago, I am now affiliated ! But I need a better pc to stream games, I cant play in lowest graphics and 30 fps ( sometimes less ) on stream, if someone can help me with "cheap" but good cumputers I will be grateful

summer peak
#

You won't be disappointed with an RX 5700. I use it for VR with my rift S.

#

Never drop below 80fps in most games.

#

@broken rose What's cheap for you?

orchid patio
#

is 2070 S good?

summer peak
#

oh no

grizzled arrow
#

they aren't. they would be worthless if they made it look worse and cut perf. If it trades looks for performance, then it's your call what its value is to you. It's value is what it means to you, so you cannot say that it is always worthless for everyone

lone pond
#

again

#

worthless

#

sorry

broken rose
#

@summer peak I dont have any money and no jobs for now, so....yeah

lone pond
#

πŸ‘Œ

summer peak
#

I mean I kind of need a price point if I'm going to help you though

lone pond
#

I could barely tell a difference between

#

RTX on and rtx off

#

that's on metro exodus

grizzled arrow
#

@orchid patio 2070 s is good if you feel that you need the ray tracing over the 5700xt. If no, 5700xt all the way because of its way lower price

orchid patio
#

ok

broken rose
#

@summer peak anything beetween 700 and 1000 I guess

lone pond
#

rx580 6gigs 16 gb ram at 2666 at least and a i5-8400 (at least 6 cores and 6 threads)

#

but my fps tanking? that's for sure

hard wren
#

maybe like an i3 or fx and what ever amd card Visi recommends lol

lone pond
#

@broken rose

summer peak
#

oh that's a really nice price point, let me put a build together for you, gimme a minute @broken rose

grizzled arrow
#

is that price for just a gpu?

broken rose
#

@summer peak I just gave a random price

lone pond
#

go for the moon

#

$3k

grizzled arrow
#

make it $4k

#

no

hard wren
#

yeah 2080ti and 9900k now we are talking

grizzled arrow
#

$5k

lone pond
#

trust me dude...gona love that combo

hard wren
#

2 2080tis and a 3970x

lone pond
#

rx 580 8 gb sry

#

not 6

broken rose
#

@summer peak honestly, with 600 € / $ I can stream in good quality and play with decent graphics, its better

#

If*

summer peak
#

oh uh

#

well hm

lone pond
#

nice

grizzled arrow
#

b450 instead of x570

broken rose
#

My actual PC is dying, my twitcv is doing good, but having my game in 20fps is making people flee

grizzled arrow
#

and maybe 5700 instead of xt

hard wren
#

or 590

I have 64gb for no real reason lol

In what conceivable way would you utilize that much ram beaides hosting a server? @lone pond

Someone who opens hyper-v instances like chrome tabs

#

I actually do have 32gb ram

#

for no reason at all

grizzled arrow
#

that's all i did before christmas when i built mine. I just threw together a cart on newegg and said, "I wish my budget was $1000"

lone pond
#

but I realized the more ram I have the smoother things run because I tend to multi task alot

#

like lots of emulation instances

#

games

#

and lotso f chrome tabs

hard wren
#

do they make a x299 board that supports the full 2tb of ram?

VMs and the occasional FFMPEG gif are the only times I use much at all

#

people tend to underestimate the importance of RAM

#

back in 2012

#

ppl would say

#

8gb is enough

grizzled arrow
#

@hard wren nope. can't think of a single board that can do that without super duper high capacity dimms. Modules like that aren't commercially available

lone pond
#

why more

#

now look at their 8gb

#

I laugh

grizzled arrow
#

many still say 8gb is enough

broken rose
#

Thing is, I have like....300 euros maybe, and my family didnt even give me anything for my 18th birthday last month, so I am not expecting much from them for Christmas, they dont want to hear anything but the price

hard wren
#

@grizzled arrow I didnt think so but when he mentioned it I was curious

lone pond
#

1 VM instance is enough to kill 8gb for me

grizzled arrow
#

on my phone, having a single extra tab open irks me. On desktop, I like to have a neat square in the hidden icons

broken rose
#

What does ram actually do ?

hard wren
#

I like to recommend 16gb for gaming pcs now

broken rose
#

I moved from 8 to 16 and dont see a difference

hard wren
#

it is like a hard drive but much faster

lone pond
#

ram doesn't actually do anything but running out of rams tho?

#

that suck

grizzled arrow
#

you wont see a difference if you weren't using teh 8gb to capacity

hard wren

open more tabs in chrome before gaming

especially on games that ram leak

you are gonna see your performance tanking

@lone pond did you say Star Citizen

grizzled arrow
#

quite a few modern games don't need that much ram, but emulating and other normal tasks def do

hard wren

cuz I heard ram leak

16gb and less tho, those games will kill your performance

Thank you

grizzled arrow

they'd get you a link in no time

hard wren
#

Star Citizen on any given day can use between 8-33gbs of ram so..

lone pond
#

that game looks nice tho

hard wren
#

yeah it does thats how they got me years ago and I still dont really have a game..

lone pond
#

I remember PUBG in its early days

#

ram leak and all those issues

#

16gb literally bottleneck my gpu

hard wren

I played counterstrike when it was a mod for half life

got to 32gb

no more stutter

Is the 1660 better than the Radeon PULSE RX 590?

wicked hound
#

1660 is maybe the same I think. 1660S is better tho, and it's only $20 more than 1660 so might as well go 1660S. Also both have the new NVENC so that means good video encoder for streaming/recording videos

old elbow
#

Which one?

#

the one thats available?

#

Because i have no clue on what i'm doing :D

wicked hound
#

probably dont restrict yourself to newegg 100% yes I know this is a newegg server buuttttt shuushhh

I honestly trust newegg more though ;w;

Amazon is pretty good, just make sure they are good sellers and look for the prime tag

Lot of those are 1660 at 1660S price tho

id wait for a 1660ti or a 2060

I like how a lot of people have good graphics cards then there's me with a 1650 XD

I'm going for budget for power.

thick perch

I mean i was on a 1050ti for a few years lol

glad ruin

is 1660 S a good graphics card for a 9700k? i just want to game in 1080p with good frames

lone pond

Maybe for csgo

mighty dragon

so I am looking for any 16 series gpu that- you know isnt the 1650 oc

#

-in the price range of 200 bucks

lone pond

Avoid the 1650, benchmarks from sources like guru3d toms anandtech will be your best source

mighty dragon

yeah. I already knew that was 1650 was scuffed as

dry zealot
#

Question

mighty dragon
#

Yes.

dry zealot
#

Is there any graphics card under 100$ that has hdmi and is a pciex16

cold stream

if you go used, I'm sure

dry zealot

Yeah but most of them don’t have hdmi when I look at them

dry zealot

never get a GT... never..

I could just barely play some games back when I had GT 730 and e5200

mighty dragon

I am sorry that's just funny to me

#

dear lord. I just started with an AMD ryzen 3 2200g

old elbow

You can find it funny when i find it unusual.

mighty dragon
#

Sure. Are you running 4gb of ddr2 as well?

old elbow
#

8 gigs of DDR3

mighty dragon

Okay. better than what I thought

cold stream

way back then I was on 8 gb of ddr2

the least ram I ever had in a pc was 16 gb ddr4

fervent echo

1660 super or 2060 super?

2060 for rtx

fervent echo

don't need rtx

wanton magnet

then 1660s

fervent echo
#

thnks

summer peak
#

2060 because it performs better but if you don't want rtx actually get an amd rx 5700

#

tbh

fervent echo
#

amd has rtx?

summer peak
#

no

#

you said you don't need it, and I said if you don't want it, get an rx 5700

fervent echo
#

oh

#

i got it

#

but it's even more costly than 2060s

#

i have to almost double the budget for 5700

stray kindle
#

Go for a 5700xt, more bang for the buck

fervent echo
#

out of budget

summer peak
#

5700 shouldn't be more than the 2060s

#

Idk where you live though so

fervent echo
#

WTF

summer peak
#

cheapest 2060super I can find is 420, there's a good RX 5700 on sale for 330 at the moment

#

usd

fervent echo
#

on new egg, 5700/XT both are at almost same priceπŸ˜•

stray kindle
#

I would highly suggest not going for anything Gigabyte. My friends and I all have had terrible experiences with their products. You'll find cheaper things branded with Gigabyte, don't fall for them

summer peak
#

they've got around a 15% performance difference iirc so it makes sense that they're priced pretty close

#

who said anything about gigabyte?

stray kindle
#

I only mention Gigabyte because you'll find ~$380 2060 Super's or ~$400 5700XT's, and the reviews are always awful

#

It's just a rule of thumb I keep in mind when I'm browsing through parts

summer peak
#

349 with 20 off promo

#

sapphire is great

#

@fervent echo

stray kindle
#

That's pretty slick

#

I heard the drivers were pretty trash when that launched though

summer peak
#

I have one

#

they're better now

#

Haven't really had any issues since the first month

#

anyway yeah that card for 330

#

great deal

#

highly recommend it over a 2060s if you don't need RTX

#

same performance for much less money

stray kindle
#

and lets not forget there's only like a dozen games with ray tracing, so it's not like it's something wildly popular right now. If you're okay with not having shiny floors then you don't really need a 2060 Super verses a 5700XT

or a sleeper that's actually worth less than the case you hid it in

Do u guys not know what a geforce 2 ti is???

Its an ancient old graphics card with lime 64mb of vram

64mb is plenty for 16k graphics

maybe even a 2060

my current gpu is a gtx 1050ti

like 100 watt power draw

granite juniper

even a 9900k+2080 ti draw like under 500w

What about when overclocking? If overclocking both cpu and gpu how much extra wattage would that require?

valid magnet
#

I have Ryzen 2200g + RX 590 on a 450w psu (below the recommended for rx 590) and it seems to work okay

pseudo spruce
#

I'm running a 2700X and also an RX 590. I'm using a 650 watt psu. I haven't done any overclocking yet but psu calculators recommended 500 watt for my system so I got the extra 150 watts just in case I needed the extra juice.

#

I'm planning on upgrading to an RX 5700 XT soon and I think it uses even more power than the 590

is that got enough for a streaming computer?

lone pond
#

should I a rtx 2070 super or break my bank for a rtx 2080 super. It seems like in benchmarking it’s only 10 to 20 fps difference nothing crazy

hard wren
#

I would go with the rtx 2080 super because otherwise it would make more sense to do a 5700xt for the cost

novel adder
#

If the price difference isn't very big then I would go for the 2080 super

#

If the price difference is p big

#

Then I'd go for the 2070 super

#

If you need it now

#

And if you don't need it now and can wait to save up more

#

Then go for the 2080 super

shadow oak

Anyone waiting on the 5500xt releasing soon? I hear it will be the best for 1080p gaming but was curious to see if it would do 1440p pretty decent

2070 super with i7-9700k that boosts up to 5ghz?

Also a ryzen 5 2600 (not overclocked) with a 1070 ti?

that's what I will have in about a week

same cpu and gpu as you

rain oyster

lol dont know

#

nice

swift valve
#

What's the best price for performance card from either side?
Last time I checked it was usually the xx70s from nvidia but I'm not sure about AMD

main locust
#

right now for AMD, the best price-performance card would be the new 5700 and 5700xt

hard wren
#

2080ti or Titan RTX for team green no value all performance lol

main locust
#

lol yeah if you have that kind of money

swift valve
#

I was an Intel fanboy for quite some time but AMD really stepped up their game with Ryzen (at least last time I was looking at buying stuff).
How are they with GPUs?
I think they are pretty good rivals with nvidia now?
How does AMD compete with nvidia on "RTX" features?

main locust
#

for nvidia right now, it would be 2060s and 2070 for the best value

hard wren
#

or maybe 1660ti

main locust
#

AMD does not have ray tracing

#

Personally I prefer nvidia gpus simply because their company can focus on them more, as well as nvidia having better driver support and RTX

swift valve
#

dang. is it a propriety feature or just something AMD hasn't got into yet?

main locust
#

AMD just hasn't worked on that yet

#

they might in the next few years

hard wren
#

AMD is pushing for a software solution

main locust
#

swift valve
#

I don't think it's game breaking but I do feel like it's the new future thing in gaming.

#

Even xbox and playstation are talking heavily about it for next gen.

hard wren
#

makes life easier for game developers

main locust
#

your fps will definitely drop if you enable ray tracing, but the games will still run well on the 2070 (and on the 2060s if you lower the graphics settings)

hard wren
#

Not too many games support it now but it has appeared in more games than I originally thought it would this early

main locust
#

yeah

#

I'm looking forward to trying it in modern warfare

hard wren
#

Metro exodus does look absolutely stunning even with my paltry frame rate on a 2080ti

swift valve
#

I think it's just early tech. I think if Xbox/Playstation adapt it into next gen consoles then the GPU market is going to really be marketed towards it with developers working with it more. Eventually it might become the new norm.

hard wren
#

best part is developers dont really need to work with it just create a light source determine the reflectiveness of surfaces and boom rtx cores do the rest

#

simplified but thats basically how it works

#

like Nvidia Physx but for lighting and not open source like Physx...

drowsy shell

ill probably play rust fortnite rainbow and modern warfare

I’d go for a 3600 rhyzen 5 instead

hard wren

it is only like $50 more

high surge
#

I'm salty of the 2060 super

#

I was a 2060 adopter because it squares up to the 1080

drowsy shell
#

Rhyzen 5 is 3600 is better for gaming

high surge
#

esp when OC'd

#

then again I think 2060 super is $50 more than it's predecessor

#

but then again I wouldn't mind paying $50 more for slightly faster clock speeds and 2GB more of vram

Id rather go for the 2700 over the 3600 cause of cost

better case ventilation will help depending on card cooler

you can put a custom fan curve using MSI afterburner

@lone pond Yee, plus I dont plan on holding it for 6 years or anything so should be fine

founders edition

errant gyro

then the board partners design theirs

fallen schooner
#

like a founders edition

errant gyro
#

fallen schooner
#

yea

lone pond
#

so did i waste my money on it

fallen schooner
#

nah

errant gyro
#

nonono

#

just runs hotter

fallen schooner
#

it's just going to run warmer than others

lone pond
#

but its fine

errant gyro
#

yep

wicked hound
#

There is a difference between "waste of money" and "not the best choice"

fallen schooner
#

you -could- downclock it to lower temps if you're super worried

lone pond
#

2080 ti FE and 1080 TI FE were good cards, the blower is always a compromise tho

#

if i could return it should i and buy a new one or no

errant gyro
#

its fine lol its not at limit and i like the look of them

hard wren
#

I think 80c is perfectly acceptable during load

errant gyro
#

^

lone pond
#

so just keep it then?

fallen schooner
#

The Nilboggen has spoken

wicked hound
#

@lone pond Those cards I like for watercooling compatibility

lone pond
#

sorry haha what gpu?

#

Ya, depends on intention though, intent to shunt, bios flash, etc

wicked hound
#

yee, but Im not one to go too far into that type of stuff

hard wren
#

at least they took the blower off 2080ti

lone pond
#

The 2080 ti discord is very much into tearing cards apart and flashing every vbios on google haha

#

ya , the 2080 TI was impressive, especially VRM wise

#

ok well thanks for the help guys

hard wren
#

I am mostly happy with my 2080ti although I lost the memory lottery and got micron 😦

lone pond
#

So, I'm assuming the original question was about 80C GPU core during load?

hard wren
#

2060

#

and yes

lone pond
#

lol, I do just fine on micron, maybe needs new TIM or block remount?

fallen schooner
#

I wish I was happy with 2080ti

hard wren
#

just cant get my memory OC-ed as high as some can

lone pond
#

Just need to cool the memory more.

fallen schooner
#

it's broken probably, just send it here.

#

box has samsung in all 7 of his 2080 ti's , don't feed the troll /s

fallen schooner
#

wow

#

just rip me open why dont you.

#

:\

hard wren
#

I did get a FE 2080 with the samsung memory though πŸ™‚

fallen schooner
#

in my 2080ti crypto rig at that.

#

issa beast.

hard wren
#

a box would make a cryto rig with a 2080ti lol

fallen schooner
#

did you just assume my box.

lone pond
#

I think the profit per day is like $1 now haha

hard wren
#

I'm boxist

fallen schooner
#

hahaha

#

I like you.

lone pond
#

Ya, you're one of the better parts of the LTT party

fallen schooner
#

that's like 365 dollars a year

hard wren
#

I thought the new thing was SSD mining

fallen schooner
#

BANK

#

ROLL

#

oh ssd mining?

#

intriqued

lone pond
#

I was into hdd/ proof of storage mining for some time

hard wren
#

100 970 pros all churning away

lone pond
#

That's why I have that supermicro, learned all that storage stuff lol. Was all new to me

#

Maybe a new algo - burst is fine on HDD, even a PMR, just not for plotting

fallen schooner
#

crypto me a 2080ti uca, to my house

#

thx

lone pond
#

y-cruncher is a hwbot bench that likes storage / ssd-wise, maybe that?

#

crypto me many cryptos to my .. ya

quiet sandal
#

What runs faster? An rx 580 or gtx 970?

gray vapor
#

580

#

970 is pretty much like a 3gb 1060

quiet sandal
#

Alright thanks

gray vapor
#

@quiet sandal if you wanted something more modern you can go for the 1650 Super

quiet sandal
#

na i cant afford that lmao

gray vapor
#

Pretty sure there is people selling it on ebay already ThinkingEgg

quiet sandal
#

I have the 580 cause I upgraded from gtx 470 but stumbled into a 970 and was just wondering which was better lol

gray vapor
#

there is a lot of low viewed tech tubers out there that would buy a GPU for testing for their video's and then would resell them on ebay

quiet sandal
#

eh idk why i just dont really trust ebay

brisk flame
#

thats why sellers have reviews

quiet sandal
#

eh

frozen pebble
#

Hey guys who can help me? I wanna upgrade my Graphics card but dont know if my psu and motherboard is available to fit and work etc.

brisk flame
#

whats your psu? whats your current gpu?

#

@frozen pebble

frozen pebble
#

@brisk flame psu: cit-500watts

#

current gpu is 1050ti

#

1660 requires 450w max

glacial wind
#

anyone on who knows how to troubleshoot hardware issues?

#

anyways... gpu started to smoke either at, or behind psu plug in instantly upon bootup. question is, could loose psu cables cause this, or is it something deeper?

hard wren
#

GPUs lose all of my trust after they start producing smoke I wouldnt put it in another system that I cared about

lone pond
#

if it smokes it's prob water

#

x.x

wicked hound
#

loose cables are an easy way to start fires

lone pond
#

did you spill anything on it

copper hull
#

is a used 1070 for $210 usd a good deal?

wet temple
#

i'd say so

copper hull
#

would it be worth getting a 1660 ti over a used 1070?

dense flicker
#

yes

wicked hound
#

1660S is $230 new

#

and is barely worse than a 1070

lone pond
#

he says ti tho

copper hull
#

either or

#

whatever is cheaper.

wicked hound
#

1660Ti and 1660S is effectively the same in perf

#

1% average difference

copper hull
#

this will mostly be for vr

#

and an upgrade from a 970

#

I was thinking about the 5700 xt

#

but heard it had major issues in some vr titles

lone pond
#

lies

dense flicker
#

1660ti or 1070 can handle VR

lone pond
#

5700 XT ftw

copper hull
#

well

dense flicker
#

not sure about compatibility for the 5700xt with vr

copper hull
#

issues in pavlov, the best vr game out there as of now.

#

that's what the dev says.

#

that the 5700 xt has issues in their game

dense flicker
#

im able to play beat saber and record mixed reality with my 1070 and 8700.

copper hull
#

which head set?

#
  • beat saber isn't a super intensive game.
hard wren
#

your 970 can also play VR too just in case that was the only reason you are replacing

dense flicker
#

rift s

copper hull
#

I used an rx 480 + og vive for my old vr set up

#

was okay

#

but

lone pond
#

I first used my original rift with a 970

#

it's fine

copper hull
#

lagged in a lot of titles

#

I have a 1080 now, and I still lag

#

with the index.

lone pond
#

norway

copper hull
#

oh yea way

#

mostly in unoptimized titles like pavlov modded maps

#

and maybe the occasional hickup to 90 fps on beat saber

lone pond
#

did you set your res too high on the index

#

by any chance?

copper hull
#

I changed it from default

#

they wanted to down scale me

#

i didn't want that.

lone pond
#

a 1660 super prob wouldn't help you in your case

#

if a 1080 is struggling

copper hull
#

well the thing is

#

this advice is for my friend, no tme

#

he has the 970
