#

ohh ok

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

does it have an extra two pin that will make it an 8 pin

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

i have x2 6+2 pins

lean crystal Dec 9, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

yes the psu does

#

but not the card

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

It looks like its 6pin

#

the graphics card

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

A 1060 doesnt need 375w

lean crystal Dec 9, 2019, 9:09 PM

#

i have a 4 pin fan header 🤔

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

I have (x4) 6+2 pins. Will that work with ANY graphics card? @hard wren @cerulean rover @wicked hound @lean crystal

lean crystal Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

for the card

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

📎 ANTPCIE-04-2.jpg

lean crystal Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

yes

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

one 8 pin PCIe is 150w and the PCIe port is 75w

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

@frozen pebble yes it will work

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

if this is the correct card, heres

📎 unknown.png

lean crystal Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

yea thats mine

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

its the cord thats important not the card...

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

with any GPU? even the latest and greatest? @lean crystal

lean crystal Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

yes

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

aux yes

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

Alright

#

thanks dudes

#

I’m in the safe side right?

#

as i have 4 6+2 pins

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

yep any card will be fine

lean crystal Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

most psus come with the ability to cable 2 2060s

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

doesn't the titan rtx only use 8+8? theres prob not going to be any more pins required

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

well, provided your PSU is powerful enough as well

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

alright thanks Nibbo

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

6+2 = 8

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 9:11 PM

#

@wicked hound brought a 700w today

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

Which model tho?

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

Is the brand/model good?

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

📎 image0.jpg

#

it’s apparently as good as Evga

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

EVGA makes good and bad PSUs tho

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

alright

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

BR or W1 from EVGA for example are bad

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

dont recognize it so ima leave it to others.
I have a evga g2 750w, which I've been told is good

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

yeah my friend has the same psu as me, i7-6700k and 2060

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 9:13 PM

#

G2 is decent. G3 is funnily enough, worse than G2

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:14 PM

#

lol

plush escarp Dec 9, 2019, 9:14 PM

#

Ya worse than G2

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

so, crossfire and sli both slowly fading out correct?

plush escarp Dec 9, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

ya a little bit

#

but its okay

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

Kolink has ok reviews recommended for miners lol. Has no power switch and its noisy but good quality low temps and tons of connectors

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

750 should last me like forever right

plush escarp Dec 9, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

no

#

750 is not that good

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

Hmm how much more is needed?

plush escarp Dec 9, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

i think 800

#

or 850

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

depends on the gpu cpus you plan to use in the future 750 is fine for most applications

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

2000 just to be sure

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

LOL

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

in case they release rocket gpu

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

I'm just going for mid-high end rn so prob gon be fine

#

Nah 2100

#

Thats what you need

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

my 1000w is overkill

fallen schooner Dec 9, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

let me have it then.

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

it is box shaped...

fallen schooner Dec 9, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

omg I really want it now.

wicked hound Dec 9, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

I mean the 12v on that Kolink PSU is only 576w. So not really a full 700w PSU

#

still enough for your needs, but still kinda meh there

hard wren Dec 9, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

I dont know looks like that 12v can deliver 125A lol according to toms hardware

#

says the 5vsb rail is almost worthless though

#

says to be real careful with the 8pin connectors as they are not labeled Dont put an EPS cable into a PCIe socket lol

#

shouldnt line up but you could force it in

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

Hi guys, I know I have this before. I’ve had loads people say that what you guys are recommending me is bad and I should not get as its: old, not good for FPS etc. Now I’m sorry for the inconvenience and I ask, what is the best GPU for Loads of FPS. I’m currently running at 130 FPS and want more.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience

Please @ me

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

@frozen pebble please explain... What's your budget, what's your resolution, what's your refresh rate

#

Like best of the best go 2080ti sli

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:33 PM

#

Budget is $280 , resolution I play fortnite all low settings like competitive settings no shadows etc all low settings. I play 144hz. 1920x1080. Want a GPU that can get me loads of FPS @cerulean rover

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

what card do you currently have

#

and what did people here suggest that was bad advice?

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

280$ quick guess maybe rx580?

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

@lone pond atm I have 1050Ti

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

those are under $200 usd now, he can get more than that

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

Maybe 1660ti if you like nvidia

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

@cerulean rover I prefer Nvidia

#

Yeah

#

Budget 280

#

Or even 300

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

I haven't looked at rx580s in a while I'm not too familiar with amd pricing

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

you should throw your brand loyalty out the window tbh

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

Wubs I'm sticking to Nvidia until AMD gives better higher end options

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

i mean

#

we're talking about sub-300 cards

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

@cerulean rover @lone pond so what’s the best for loads of FPS. Budget is 300

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

we;'re not talking about high end cards, if you have a big budget and need the power, then yes nvidia is really your only choice

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

I'm on mobile rn but maybe a pre-oced 1660ti

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

but he's asking about budget cards lol

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

Wubs I'm really unfamiliar with amd low end cards so ima leave that to you

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

a 5700 will probably suit you well but then you're just price creeping up cuz those are ~$330

#

otherwise an rx580 is plenty fine for basic esports stuff

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

Isn't there a 590 now?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

it's just a boosted rx580

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

Aight

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

Lol I’m familiar with Nvidia

#

And sticking to it

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

hardly see the point in paying them extra for what you can manually overclock

#

that's a silly way to buy things but if you refuse to buy an amd card you're looking at like a 1660 super

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

@lone pond if it’s the graphics saying over locked on the listing, does it mean I don’t have to manually over clock@or can I?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

you can overclock the "overclocked" listed cards

#

you can manually overclock either

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

Oh does that mean it’s more performance

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

marginal

#

but yes

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

Wdym

#

Marginal

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

i mean marginal, as in not significant

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

Oh

#

What’s the difference between 1660Ti and 1660 super?

#

oh_yea

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:42 PM

#

Wubs I havnt looked at mid end at all recently, care to educate me on whats up with the AMD vs Nvidia for lower end cards?

#

Uhh idrk tbh lol

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

Lol

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

AMD's low level cards are solid, pretty competitive

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

I mean specifics

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

Which has more FPS within 1660Ti and 1660 super

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

for the super entry level like, sub-$250 gpus i think they're pretty compelling

#

the 1660 super

#

is the card you want if you absolutely insist on going nvidia

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

By how much FPS

#

Ahh I see

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

All I remember is rx580 being around 200$ and was a solid pick

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

How much are 2060

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

not worth it really

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

Oh

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

on that kind of budget

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

Is it as good as 1660 super or 1660Ti

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

rx580s are still suitable for esports

#

you're overthinking it

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

I don’t want amd

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

think of the 1660s as a 2060 just minus the ray tracing cores

#

they perform similarly

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

@lone pond hmm im confused which one to go for and what brand is the best for FPS

#

1660 super right

#

Or different one

#

Don’t mind upping my price

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

evga, msi are the brands iw ould get

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

For more FPS

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

dude you're like

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

Alright thanks

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

stressing out about 5-10 fps

#

it's pretty insiginficant

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

No lol

drowsy shell Dec 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

Best version of 2070 super?

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

You’d get more than than that

#

5-10

#

You’d get more

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

ok

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

What about the 980Ti? @lone pond

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

don't bother

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

Why?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

because it's old, used hardware

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

good on FPS?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

when a 1660 will perform comprably

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

So your saying 10-5 FPS difference from upgrading from a 1050Ti right?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

no, i am saying you're splitting hairs thinking about what gpu to get because the ones your comparing are so similar in performance

#

you will see a significant uplift over your 1050ti

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

As in FPS correct?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

...yes

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

Alright

#

Im on your track now

#

I understand

#

evga, msi are the brands I should get right?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

those are the brands i have had good luck with

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

Which one is the better one out of those

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

again splitting hairs

#

just pick one lol

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

Lol

#

Ok

#

Sorry I’m really picky

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

I liek MSI

#

only because I bought it

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

And hella fussy

#

Lol nice Md

#

Mr**

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

i have used msi cards in previous builds but my current one has an evga card

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

I have msi mobo, gpu, and monitor

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

Nice

#

Is it good performance? @cerulean rover

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

afaik yea

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

Yeah cool

#

I’ll start researching on 1660 super correct? @lone pond

#

And how much do they go for on eBay

#

I have to be careful of the life span left also lol

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

1660 super should be fine

#

it's new enough that the likelyhood of being mining card is VERY low

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

Wdym

#

Mining card very low

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

(On ebay)

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

Ahh

#

Ok

#

So I’m better off a new one?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

i would always buy new with components that get hard use

#

drives and video cards

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

Yea

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

From Amazon?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

whoever is cheapest

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

eBay would be cheaper

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

I like newegg bc I dont have amazon prime

#

Ebay is risky

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

I like new egg because I pay for shipping

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

theres always some risk on the used market

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

#

#

I have no idea

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

Also what GDDR should I get? The highest possible? @lone pond @cerulean rover

#

@ me also

#

I only receive @ notifications

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

I mean

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

GDDR6 the best?

drowsy shell Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

Best 2070 super variant?

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

@frozen pebble 1660 super should all have gddr6

#

Smelly the "best" is prob like expensive one thats not really worth

#

And as some people in here like to say, 5700xt might be a better choice

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

not sure if it's the best choice but it definitely offers more value

drowsy shell Dec 9, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

Need for machine learning too

#

Or else 5700 xt is preferred

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

like, if you're running a lower end CPU and want to stream, the 2070 (all nvidia cards for that matter since...uh, maxwell?) have a dedicated encode/decode chip so that you can stream on lower end CPUs

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

Is a OC Super 1660 good?

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

so there are some edge case scenarios

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

@lone pond @cerulean rover

#

MSI

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

you're overthinking it man lol just buy one of these two cards and call it good https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+16+Series+Family&chipset=GTX+1660+Super

EVGA

Products - Graphics - GeForce 16 Series Family - GTX 1660 Super

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

No I mean is Oc super better than super

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

it's an overclocked 1660 super card

#

that's it

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

yea

#

its possibly higher binned but its prob just more plug and play

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

Alright

#

You don’t recommend anything else right?

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

i think i'm gonna get an RX 5700 XT

lone pond Dec 9, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

there are lots of things i'd recommend but if you're not open to AMD it's kind of limited

cerulean rover Dec 9, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

With what we've discussed so far, thats gonna be it

ancient crystal Dec 9, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

the XT has significantly more power i understand it

#

than the 5700

frozen pebble Dec 9, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

Alright

#

Thanks dudes

summer peak Dec 9, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

I wouldn't say significantly more power

#

It's about 10-15% faster

#

it's still a good deal, though.

Ah alright

#

How much more FPS do you think imma get

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 12:33 AM

#

between the different types of 1660 supers? literally zero

#

just get the cheapest one

#

oh wait

#

one is a super and one is not

lone pond Dec 10, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

he means relative to what he has now and there will be some differences based on how good cooling is and/or factory overclock

#

dunno, 30% more fps give or take

frozen pebble Dec 10, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

So like extra 40fps?

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

welp, theres gonna be a huge jump between the 1050ti and the 1660 super

lone pond Dec 10, 2019, 12:35 AM

but again those differences will be marginal and probably only noticeable if logged

frozen pebble Dec 10, 2019, 12:35 AM

Huge jump as in FPS and performance @brisk flame

#

@lone pond hope it’s worth it

but it isnt the deciding factor

lone pond Dec 10, 2019, 12:37 AM

I listen to the big company

if I have 100000 fps I can win against shroud

duh

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 12:37 AM

#

well, if your playing at 12, then you cant play really at all

frozen pebble Dec 10, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

@brisk flame yeah but when you run 130 FPS all game + stutters and you want a new GPU that can get you more FPS then yah

#

And When your trying to discuss

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

but anything above 60 only gives a slight competitive edge

lone pond Dec 10, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

the thing is

#

even when you use excessive frames

#

the extra frames that you don't see

#

helps smoothen the response time

#

so more fps will always be beneficial

#

regardless

frozen pebble Dec 10, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

Yup

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

yes, but we arent here to talk about video games, were here in this chat to talk about graphics cards. that in some way does imply video games, but we arent talking about that

frozen pebble Dec 10, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

But video cards are sometimes based on gaming if your upgrading

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

im saying, that if you have a GTX 1050ti, and you want better performance in a game, you get a more powerful gpu

lone pond Dec 10, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

it's within the topic of discussion

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 12:40 AM

you can get a 1660 super

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 12:42 AM

HOWEVER. no one here can just quantify the fps increases in certain games, because the 0.1%, 1%, and avg. framerates vary across SYSTEMS, not just graphics cards

why are we talking about

fps again?

summer peak Dec 10, 2019, 12:43 AM

Of course

#

we can make general statements that will be roughly accurate however

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

we cant say that a 1660ti will give you 40fps more, because it just doesnt work like that

#

we can assume

@frozen pebble 1660 ti will give you 40 fps more

dunno

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 2:45 AM

so i know your psu has 2 6 pin pcie power

#

because thats what the 380 requires

#

if you dont know the model, could you take a look inside your case and see what types of connectors are plugged into your gpu?

neon owl Dec 10, 2019, 2:46 AM

cant right now

oh, so do you need a new psu as well?

or

no?

ill prolly buy a 850 and a mother board

this x mas to follow with a gpu

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 2:48 AM

ohh ok, is this 500-600 CAN budget for the whole system?

or just the gpu

neon owl Dec 10, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

im kinda reconsidering what i should buy first

#

lol

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 2:48 AM

also, 850W is kinda overkill

#

for one gpu and one cpu, 550w is like, totally fine

neon owl Dec 10, 2019, 2:48 AM

#

okk

#

so new motherboard

#

that can support my i5

brisk flame Dec 10, 2019, 2:49 AM

if you have the budget for it, an 80+ gold psu is ideal

I tried a 1440p monitor larger than my own, 27", and I literally couldn't see things well enough for normal use. I don't intend to go above 1080.

And honestly Id just prefer the better CPU. I don't game often, just when I do, I expect it to look good.

#

The EVGA XC is actually not too bad of a price on CCLonline.

#

3950X is still out of stock everywhere, but there are rumours itll be back in stock by the 31st in some places, although some others say 31st of Jan instead. Just depends.

lone pond Dec 10, 2019, 2:14 PM

#

EVGA is one of the bestfor oc'ing a 2080 ti $11-300 if you don't intend to flash the bios or shunt imo.
In either of those cases, I think the OC strix adv , or even the matrix are preferred due to better XOC bios compatibility.

Why do I keep getting more greedy I wanted a 2060 originally now I'm considering 2080 ti peepoSadSip

4K gaming?

#

Honestly, I have a 2060. Wish I would have gone 2070 but didn't want to spend that much. 2060 to actually use for Ray Tracing is disappointing.

hard wren Dec 10, 2019, 3:46 PM

your not missing much in the RTX department

digital heath Dec 10, 2019, 3:46 PM

I honestly don't know anymore LUL

probably gunna go with 2080 S

hard wren Dec 10, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

My wife likes her 2080 does vr and everything no issues

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 3:53 PM

#

Which one would be worth the money? RTX2070 or 5700XT?

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

Performance is virtually identical

#

I'd go 5700XT, i think they're cheaper?

#

If you're talking 2070 Super or an overclocked version, the 2070 is slightly faster

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

I see. I was considering a graphic card since my gpu is already 5 years old and most likely will fail anytime.

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

If budget is an issue, get a 5700XT. Honestly Ray Tracing is still a bit gimmicky and needs time to mature

wicked hound Dec 10, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

5700XT is better than 2070

#

worse than 2070S

#

by barely anything

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

Yeah, raytracing isn't something I am very interested in.

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

5700XT then. Save some money too

wicked hound Dec 10, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

2070 and 5700XT should be same price, 2070S is just overpriced

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

The 2070;'s I saw were $450, 5700XT for less than $400

wicked hound Dec 10, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

2070 should be $400 now

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

I'm on Amazon, can't find a single one

#

2060 is $400

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

Thanks for the info. I supposed 5700XT is my choice then, although I heard people saying AMD cards are not optimized for some game. Probably not 100% true..

wicked hound Dec 10, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

but if that's the case of them being $450, then def the 5700XT

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

Nah, not really true

#

AMD does lag a bit with driver support but it's not worth worrying about

wicked hound Dec 10, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

Some games perform better on AMD, and some others on Nvidia

hard wren Dec 10, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

@hushed stirrup AMD is a little slower to update drivers for new games but they always do

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

Will it be compatible with an older version motherboard? I think mine is Asrock B85M-HDS.

hard wren Dec 10, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

yes

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

What GPU do you have now?

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

a GTX970 OC

#

bought it just before they released the 1080

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

The reason I ask is that you may be better off to upgrade the motherboard, CPU and RAM first.

#

That's still a DDR3 ram motherboard

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

Yeah, was considering that too. But I was planning in case my gpu go down before I managed to collect enough cash for some upgrade

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:07 PM

Well, if you are SURE your gpu is crapping out, then yeah, get the 5700XT

#

Just be mindful your CPU might bottleneck it a bit

hard wren Dec 10, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

@hushed stirrup is it an i7 in there?

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

@hard wren Ah... no... It was a Xeon processor. At that time, I was quite tight in budget and had to make do with one of the best price/ performance processor.

viral leaf Dec 10, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

Which Xeon? I'm using W3680 with 1660TI

hard wren Dec 10, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

nothing wrong with xeon lol

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

hahaha... It was a Intel Xeon E3 1231V3.

#

It is still running well for a 5 years old processor, but it isn't doing too good with some games now.

maiden terrace Dec 10, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

Is a intel i3 good or bad

viral leaf Dec 10, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

Can't you get a 6 core to fit your socket?

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

for 1080p the 970 isn't terrible. If it can wait a bit longer I'd invest in new mobo/ram/processor

hard wren Dec 10, 2019, 4:12 PM

#

its like he has a 3770k i7

#

so i agree ram/mobo/cpu big improvement

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 4:13 PM

#

Yeah... I am planning an upgrade next year, just afraid my gpu go down before then...

viral leaf Dec 10, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

I just checked, no 6 cores for your socket

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

If oyu can afford both, the GPU now and upgrade later, you can do it

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

Probably going to upgrade at the end of the year unless something pop up

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

Just be mindful you probably won't see an FPS improvement until you upgrade the CPU

hard wren Dec 10, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

no integrated graphics in that xeon to fall back on so if the gpu did die...

Long live my x58 😄

hahaha.,.. indeed. I encountered it once in the first year I bought my new pc XD

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:15 PM

#

Is there something making you think the GPU won't make it? Getting hot? Artifacting?

#

Or just age?

viral leaf Dec 10, 2019, 4:15 PM

#

10 years and still going strong

hushed stirrup Dec 10, 2019, 4:16 PM

Just age and sometimes, it is making some cranky noise...

you know the gpu im getting
its called

which one do i get for higher fps?

hard wren Dec 10, 2019, 4:16 PM

I say take it out and clean it

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 4:16 PM

Well, the 970's also had the capacitor whine

#

High pitched sound, they all did it.

is the xt worth the extra $70?

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 7:21 PM

$70 is an extra 10% performance

lone pond Dec 10, 2019, 7:21 PM

so yes

tender mulch Dec 10, 2019, 7:21 PM

#

Depends on the value to you, not us. 😉

#

at 100 FPS, that's 110 FPS

#

cost you $70

But i say if you can afford it, then do it

If you want close to msrp look at the Sapphire Pulse or the Powercolor Red Dragon

I thought they revised that though?

summer peak Dec 10, 2019, 7:55 PM

if you want a really good cooler, go for the powercolor red devil

There's still a lot of the older model being sold and even without that it's not a particularly good cooler

@lone pond I have been a good boy

the XT runs pretty hot, so having a good cooler is pretty important

Aorus 2070 super good?

summer peak Dec 10, 2019, 8:12 PM

It's mediocre for the price.

#

It's fine, it won't fry or anything, but it's not going to net you the same cooling performance as other cards.

#

If you get a good deal on it, it's worth getting.

#

You're paying for aesthetics with Aorus, more than cooling, tbh
