the gpu is to good for the pc i gota upgrade everythin the gpu i bogt used from a mining rig so it was only 300

ancient crystal Dec 8, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

used from a mining rig, oof

somber sandal Dec 8, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

it works great

#

nothin wrong with it

ancient crystal Dec 8, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

you're one of the lucky ones then

somber sandal Dec 8, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

realy? i have seen that mining gpus ar fine like ewerzwhere

#

well gata go work

hard wren Dec 8, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

I have yet to see a mining card that issues other than in youtube videos

wicked hound Dec 8, 2019, 5:46 PM

#

@ancient crystal fun fact, mining doesn't degrade the GPU much. The die itself won't be degraded. Only potential degrades things may be some caps if hearings wasn't done well and fans

wet temple Dec 8, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

it's mostly just people tampering with BIOS and forgetting to reset it before selling that causes issues, i believe

Hello

lone pond Dec 8, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

Bios is super easy to flash

hard wren Dec 8, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

@lone pond I'm still scarred from the days of old when you could brick your gpu with a bios flash even though I know its not an issue anymore 🙂

lone pond Dec 8, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

My plan is dump eeprom, buy lot variety of eeproms on china ebay, and SPI flash a replacement if necessary.
Best case, works, worst, wall ornament

#

Heyo, I'm build a rig for 2000, which GPU would y'all recommend?

sudden plaza Dec 8, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

1060, 1070?

#

maybe something along those lines

#

some of the 20 graphics cards on the cheaper end also works

#

and 1660

#

those are my suggestions

lone pond Dec 8, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

Hmm I might go with a Nvidia 2070 - 1080, not sure which one atm

#

But I'll look into a 1070 thank you for the suggestion

hard wren Dec 8, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

1660 I second that suggestion

#

but a 2070super would be awesome

lone pond Dec 8, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

hey guys, so i recently bought a used (there is a possibility it was used for mining) reddevil rx 580 8gb for 110, the heat is fine, tried to overclock it a bit through global wattman and msi afterburner, but still my old gtx 1050 feels better,

#

but i dont think that mining would make such a difference for the rx 580 to make it worse than a gtx 1050

#

games and problems and fps?

#

mining generally doesn't degrade the performance, if anything it makes the fans worse

#

yeah, thats what a friend told me

#

but its not really been performing as well as in comparison videos

#

you gotta understand

#

in some comparison videos

lone pond Dec 8, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

they OC-ed

#

yeah, but i oc ed mine aswell

#

like how do you expect your card should perform

#

and what is it performing?

#

in fps

#

Would you say that a rx 580 new for 120 on amazon is good

#

idk

#

i got a used one for 110 euros

#

It’s on sale

#

@communist the thing is that i think my old gtx 1050 was better even tho i didnt oc the old one

#

@lone pond

#

It most likely isn’t

#

why do you think that?

#

like what's the frame rate

#

what are you experiencing

#

its decent, but im a competitive fortnite player, in endgame i suffer some lag where its almost impossible to compete

#

you experience lag?

#

that shouldn't be possible

#

idk

#

what's your overall rigs

#

cpu ram?

#

i5 7400

#

12gb

#

600w psu

#

120gb ssd

#

1tb hdd

#

I think it's mostly

#

Ddr3?

#

a driver problem

#

ddr4 2400

#

my drivers are up to date

#

try to DDU your drivers

#

I’d upgrade

#

reinstall new ones

#

ddu?

#

google

#

also try to unistall any windows updates

#

i download my drivers through the software

#

that's recent

#

windows updates breaks alot of me games

#

DDU is a software to unistall graphics drivers completely

#

okay ill try it

#

you are either having a drivers conflict

#

or windows update is fking with you

#

could i possibly have my old gpus drivers?

#

sometimes old and new drivers just do stupid things together

#

DDU to be safe

#

ok ill try it, thanks for the answers

hard wren Dec 8, 2019, 10:12 PM

yes

lone pond Dec 8, 2019, 10:12 PM

ok

#

maybe its a huge difference also because i switched from nvidia to amd

#

you keeps saying lag

but I think you meant stutter

hard wren Dec 8, 2019, 10:13 PM

yes definitely ddu if you go nvidia to amd or vice versa

if its a stable 120fps, and im on 60hz and i feel it not being smooth, is that called stutter?

can mean many things

it feels like im on 40fps

just DDU

Anyone know any green 1660 ti for 250

hard wren Dec 8, 2019, 10:30 PM

I think 1660 supers are cheaper and have about the same performance as the 1660ti

lone pond Dec 8, 2019, 10:39 PM

If going for a i3 better be the 9100F

lone pond Dec 8, 2019, 10:48 PM

hard wren Dec 8, 2019, 10:48 PM

thats a better choice on a budget

gray vapor Dec 8, 2019, 10:48 PM

gray vapor Dec 8, 2019, 10:49 PM

brittle trellis Dec 8, 2019, 11:34 PM

i mean, laptops are a different story

but in the MWF beta i was running around 60fps with a couple stutters, but was mostly CPU bound

#

using a 1050ti

swift valve Dec 8, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

I don't think I'd ever go with a 1050ti in a desktop PC. Lowest I would go is 1060 but 1070 is much better value (last I looked into it)

spice prawn Dec 8, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

@gray vapor it can handle a lot more than that. Perhaps try and not look down on hardware so much?

brittle trellis Dec 8, 2019, 11:35 PM

right now, theyre better value

but when i got mine it was 2-3 years ago

so it was one of the best budget gpu on the market

swift valve Dec 8, 2019, 11:35 PM

I talked my bro into a 1070 for his upgrade. Fit his budget and seemed like a really good value.

i think he upgraded from a 960

@spice prawn why don't you read the whole conversation than just one part

swift valve Dec 8, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

WoW used to have low graphic requirements but not anymore. Blizzard upped the game hard on it and it can take a LOT of hardware to run that game with max settings, especially in 20 man raids.

spice prawn Dec 8, 2019, 11:38 PM

granite juniper Dec 9, 2019, 1:16 AM

maiden nymph Dec 9, 2019, 1:16 AM

#

You can definitely get away with lower tier CPUs but realistically? You're getting a 2080 ti, and gonna cheap out on CPU?

#

Yeah so at least a 3900x

granite juniper Dec 9, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

yeah but games don't really use 12 cores rn, i'd just get a 3700x to save 200 or a 9700k for better performance

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 1:19 AM

but I mean if your budget was $2000 for a gaming pc how could you not get a 2080ti?

you gonna need something in the relam of 1070, 1070 ti, 2060, 2060 super

2060 if you ask me, but it's a matter of preference

#

And it depends on whether you care about ray-tracing or not

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 2:23 AM

#

1070 is closer to 1660S/1660Ti

#

2060 being above

#

tho also, 5700 is also above 2060 for cheaper

vestal wing Dec 9, 2019, 2:24 AM

#

@wicked hound do you have any idea when a possible 3000s is coming?

wet temple Dec 9, 2019, 2:24 AM

#

yes but you also take the risk of overheating with some variants of the 5700, some models thermal throttle to the point that they drastically reduce performance

vestal wing Dec 9, 2019, 2:25 AM

#

just dont get a blower fan variant

dense charm Dec 9, 2019, 2:25 AM

#

blower fan style sucks

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 2:25 AM

#

all dual/triple fans ones wont overheat unless in bad conditions. However I do agree that there arent many good cooler designs out there and lots of dual fan cards get too hot

wet temple Dec 9, 2019, 2:26 AM

#

yeah

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 2:26 AM

#

@vestal wing Sometime in the next 10 years I'd assume

inland cave Dec 9, 2019, 2:26 AM

#

Are used GPUs a good idea for cheap builds or no

vestal wing Dec 9, 2019, 2:26 AM

#

I mean if you don't overclock it shouldn't get that hot and also Hei no way really

#

bro thats crazy

#

thats only like a 10 year time gap

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 2:27 AM

#

if you get them at a good deal. Most of the time you save like $20 - $40 on a used GPU above a 580 unfotunately

inland cave Dec 9, 2019, 2:28 AM

#

ok, I just got a 570 as a temporary GPU while I save up for a better one

vestal wing Dec 9, 2019, 2:28 AM

#

oop

#

570 is like a gt 1030 or like a 1050 right?

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 2:28 AM

#

Well I had to think, what if next series is 21xx? Then the 30xx series wouldnt come out in 1 - 2 years (what I expect the next Nvidia launch to come out in)

#

570 is about 1060 3gb level

vestal wing Dec 9, 2019, 2:29 AM

#

I mean I guess maybe

inland cave Dec 9, 2019, 2:29 AM

what sucks is the rest of my build would work best with a 5700xt, but I gotta wait so that I can afford it

@inland cave not that likely. The market has shown it is willing to pay for the current prices. So there is next to no incentive for the sellers to lower their prices.

you think 2080 ti can run

#

4k at 144 fps?

inland cave Dec 9, 2019, 2:46 AM

#

no, I'm just saying he doesn't take advantage of either the high quality OR the high framerate

#

The 2080ti is capable of 4k, and it is also capable of 144FPS

spice prawn Dec 9, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

fairly regularely i have the debate of: No, it makes no sense to buy X card when you are flat out refusing to move from your 720p monitor (because it fits the visual look of the other pieces of gear in your man cave)

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:47 AM

#

meaning you're not getting a GPU at a $200 price point

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:47 AM

#

if possible i would considder a gpu

split hearth Dec 9, 2019, 10:47 AM

#

On the bright side, Ryzen apu is better than gt 730

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:47 AM

#

@atomic idol do you have a case you can reuse

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:47 AM

#

if it's a $200 build you won't be getting a separate GPU

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:47 AM

#

I assume so?

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:47 AM

#

this one

#

XD

#

@ancient crystal oh so intergrated

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:48 AM

#

@atomic idol https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N6bPFG

#

if you have a case

#

best you can really do for that much

#

sorry

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:48 AM

#

isn't it good enough if my cpu is mid level?

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:48 AM

wait you have a functioning PC and you want to do a potato build?

@ancient crystal he has an amd a4

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:48 AM

#

oh god

#

yes we want a potato build

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

the athlon 3000g is the best you can do

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

athlon 3000g is a good option

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

prices are kind off high

#

let me see what i can do

#

just what i will ask

#

what cpu is that

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

the athlon 3000g

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

i never heard of that

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

comes with amd vega integrated graphics

#

it's new

split hearth Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 AM

#

That pc part picker says he might need to update bios before he can use the cpu on that motherboard

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

it is based on the zen architecture i believe

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

that's not a big deal because he already has a pc @split hearth

#

the athlon 3000g is zen+

#

iirc

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

ah that's good

#

nice quad core for $50

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

with decent integrated graphics

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

wouldn't re using my mobo is enough?

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

far better than the amd a4

#

no

#

it has a different socket tpye

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

XD

#

oh

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 AM

#

you wouldn't be able to use it

#

you could maybe reuse the case and power supply

#

so you could cut off 40 or whatever for the power supply

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:52 AM

#

i think my psu is only 300 W tho

#

wait

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:52 AM

#

this is a very power efficient chip

#

I wouldn't worry about it

split hearth Dec 9, 2019, 10:52 AM

#

But how would you update the bios, he would need a am4 cpu already

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:52 AM

#

@split hearth no? you flash bios with a USB

split hearth Dec 9, 2019, 10:52 AM

#

Ab20 doesnt not support flash back through usb

#

You need a cpu to boot in the the bios to flash it

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 AM

#

he'd download the new bios before changing the motherboard and cpu

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 AM

#

i dont know what u guys are talkin bout

#

XD

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 AM

#

Heyy, sorry for bothering you guys, but do you think a 520W +80 Bronze PSU is enough for 5700 XT?

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 AM

#

@molten grotto what psu specifically

#

it should be, but

#

just to be safe

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 AM

#

depends on your other components too

split hearth Dec 9, 2019, 10:54 AM

#

What mynamegee, you already have a am4 cpu?

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 10:54 AM

#

@summer peak Seasonic M12II-520 EVO

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:54 AM

#

@split hearth oh dang I got what you mean

#

no you're right

#

I didn't think that through

#

it's late

#

@molten grotto and your cpu?

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

@split hearth amd a4 6300

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

@summer peak i5 6500

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

that should be a good enough PSU

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:56 AM

#

you could probably even run it with like 4 mechanical hard disks

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 10:56 AM

#

Thanks, good to know. Any suggestions on the manufacturer? I've heard that the Sapphire Pulse is good?

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:56 AM

#

CPU uses little power

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:56 AM

#

For the 5700xt?

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 10:56 AM

#

Yup

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:56 AM

#

the pulse and red dragon are okay, but the two best ones are the nitro+ and the red devil

#

basically though, stick to powercolor or sapphire and you'll be fine

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:56 AM

#

powercolor is always my go-to for AMD GPUs

#

but i'd do gigabyte or sapphire

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:57 AM

#

Gigabyte is hit or miss

#

Powercolor and Sapphire have never steered me wrong

atomic idol Dec 9, 2019, 10:57 AM

#

mobos are expensive

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:57 AM

#

and with the 5700xt both their low end and high end coolers are good

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 10:57 AM

#

I heard Gigabyte having issues with really loud coil whine?

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:57 AM

#

Yeah, their 5700xt's are a bit of a miss

#

just stick with the pulse, red dragon, red devil, or nitro+

#

get the red devil or nitro+ if you want to OC, but get a better psu if you plan to OC it

split hearth Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

Honestly, if you only have 200$, you should go get a ps4

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

i use an ITX case so i have to find a blower fan version of whatever card i get

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

depends on your itx case tbh

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

because the particular case's layout

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

the node 202 does fine with dual axial coolers

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

@summer peak Not planning on OC, personally. I'm going with a fairly out of the box experience

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 AM

#

it's the fractal define nano S

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

@molten grotto the pulse or red dragon would do you well then

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

the PCIe slot is right next to the power supply

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

they're only like 10-20 over msrp

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 10:59 AM

#

you gotta get the blower

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

@summer peak Pulse seems to be a good 30-60 euros cheaper than the other options, too.

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

I have a sapphire pulse 5700 non xt

#

and it's great

#

definitely get it if it's cheap, it's a good pick

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

I'm planning on upgrading to 1440p after a lot of consideration. Very excited!

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

Navi is really impressive, i'm glad AMD did something new

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

I use mine for VR, but it's a 1440p beast

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

i'm getting a 1440p ultrawide so buying a 5700 has to be a priority lol

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

well, my headset runs at 2560x1440 anywaay

#

lol

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:01 AM

#

Last time I tried VR, I got really bad motion sickness. Kinda put me off the whole thing. Alyx looks great though.

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

What headset did you try?

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

whatever the ultrawide is for 1080p i'm gonna have to use that to game on my 1650

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

One of the Oculus ones?

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

I was going to say if it was google cardboard that made me sick too

Some people do get motion sickness with VR -- it's something you gotta adjust to

#

I had really bad dissociation for a week or two when starting VR

#

but no motion sickness with a 6dof headset

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

if it's anything like those old steel talons arcade machines with VR from when i was a kid it's going to absolutely wreck me

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

it effects everyones brains differently and you have to let your brain adapt to it

#

@ancient crystal it's not anything like that

#

way higher refresh rate helps a lot

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

i am probably going to dissociate heavily if i give it a shot

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

I did for the first week or two then my brain adjusted and now I'm fine

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

yeah the refresh rate is like 15Hz on those old virtuality machines

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:04 AM

#

yeah get an index and run it at 144hz

#

it helps a lot

#

my rift S does 80hz and it took me a bit to get used to

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:04 AM

#

@summer peak My brother's getting a VR set, apparently. I'll probably give it another try then. But definitely not spending 500 euros on something I might not get any use out of.

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:04 AM

#

@molten grotto you will probably get sick trying it if you're prone to it

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:04 AM

#

It's really sad though, some of the VR games look really, really cool.

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:04 AM

#

it's something you have to work through

#

basically

#

if you feel yourself starting to get sick

#

stop

#

wait 30 minutes

#

try again

#

eventually it goes away, or at least it has for everyone I know

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

Thanks, I'll give that a try!

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

basically teaching your brain to operate in that kind of environment?

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

yep

#

neuroplasticity!

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:06 AM

#

Sounds a bit scary, right? I mean it's not but it sounds so weird.

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:06 AM

#

Yeah it's pretty crazy

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:06 AM

#

i have a brain injury so i am expecting VR to be very weird for me

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

Couldn't say how that will effect it but dissociation is pretty normal

#

I'd often experience things like feeling like my head was detached from my body, or my hands were floating away from where they actually are

#

for the first week or two

#

it did cure my stereoblindness though

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

Stereoblindness?

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

oh that's great

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

stereo blindness aka no depth perception

#

I couldn't tell how far away items were for sure before

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:08 AM

#

i have poor depth perception but not a complete lack

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:08 AM

#

One of my eyes just didn't work properly in that regard

#

it's weaker and it just kind of gave up

#

but VR fixed that

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:08 AM

#

that's great

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:08 AM

cool technology

#

super hyped for half life alyx

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:09 AM

Half-Life was such a big part of my childhood, I'm so jealous of anyone who gets to play Alyx

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:10 AM

i had a complete potato of a computer when the games were around

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:11 AM

i was 17 when the first one came out, i totally couldn't afford to grab a voodoo card or whatever

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:12 AM

I played it years after it came out

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

my friend had a riva 128 32MB

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:12 AM

#

I must have been 12 or something

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:13 AM

#

that was an amazing GPU at the time, though it was not technically even a GPU

#

the first real GPU was the original geforce, it was a big forward leap in visual quality and raw power over what was around, it just devastated the competition

molten grotto Dec 9, 2019, 11:14 AM

#

I got my first gaming computer just a few years ago. Before that I played on my brothers PC or on a crappy laptop.

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:14 AM

i've never built a proper gaming computer

going to change it for this build i'm working on
