#

probably a bit outside of your budget at 400

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 1:03 AM

#

oh

#

ok

#

thanks

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 1:03 AM

#

a 2070 super with a good cooler can run 550 or even more

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

ah ok

wicked hound Dec 12, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

also perf difference of a 2060S to 2070S is like 7% - 10%

#

for $100 - $150 more

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

@lone pond budget for card alone or entire PC??

#

card

#

oh yeah then what the others said is good

#

2060S is what I'd recommend most

#

more bang for the buck

#

alright

#

yeah im probably going to opt for that

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:08 AM

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:28 AM

#

how does the ryzen rx 5700 compare to the rtx 2070 in your guys' opinions

#

my brother got the 2070 and his pc is pretty great but ive been wanting to try amd for a while

#

do you guys prefer the nvidia software?

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 2:30 AM

#

5700XT is better

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:30 AM

#

compared to the 2070 super?

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 2:30 AM

#

Unless you want to stream, then nVidia is better for NVENC

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:32 AM

#

have you guys seen any decently priced builds recently that include the 5700

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 2:32 AM

#

The 2070 super is about 10% faster

#

But it also costs $100 morew

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:32 AM

#

rx 5700 generally outperforms the 2070 (base model) though the difference is extremely minor

#

however the rx 5700 is cheaper

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 2:32 AM

#

5700XT is great for 1440P or less and VR gaming

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:32 AM

#

the rx 5700xt is about the same price as the 2070 but performs as a 2070 super

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

so i might as well get the 5700xt if im going to pay that much?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

unless you want to stream, yes

#

nvidia is better for streaming because its hardware encoder (nvenc) is basically free

#

performance wise

#

compared to AMD

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

Save the $100 unless you'll be streaming

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

if you do want to get an RX 5700xt look at sapphire and powercolor. The red dragon, red devil, pulse, and nitro+ are all fantastic options

#

the red devil and nitro+ are best for overclocking

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

also back to that build question about one including a 5700 or the xt version, have you guys seen any?

#

sorry if im in the wrong chat for that

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

I'm not sure what you mean?

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

Uh

#

same as every other build

#

just swap the GPU

#

NOthing special about it

#

If your brothers build ruins great, take his build, put the 5700XT in it and wave the extra $100 in his face

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

@summer peak just like any build that decently priced that includes the 5700xt

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:37 AM

#

I can put together one for you if that's what you mean

#

any particular requirements?

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

@tender mulch i might just do that

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

That was a joke but....you do you! LOL!

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:39 AM

#

what do you mean visi? I'm pretty entry level when it comes to computers, ive just been starting to research because the new gen of gaming looks interesting

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 2:39 AM

#

Like, do you want to do Photoshop? Videos? Stream to Twitch? Browse the web?

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:39 AM

#

like ive been watching just benchmark tests and seen the 5700 run some games pretty well on ultra so i guess thats the standard

#

browse and new games well

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:40 AM

#

what new games?

#

cause there's a big difference between like

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

assassins creed games and probably like not necessarily new games but popular fps's

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

overwatch, and like... I don't know rdr2

#

lemme see what I can do, what sort of budget are you working with?

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:41 AM

#

ow and r6 are my main ones for the fps

#

like 1250ish

#

is that low

#

i think my brother got his in for 1500

#

ive got decent peripherals, i just want to switch to desktop because the laptop my brother gave me is really inconsistent

#

i helped him pick out parts for his pc but it was really just a matter of looking at what was compatible, im not sure what the performance to cost was on them

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:46 AM

#

1250 is fine

#

@midnight summit https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nbs6Dx

#

1440p beast

#

the stock cooler on the 3700x will do a light OC, but if you want to overclock more slap in a better cooler

#

that will chew through any game you throw at it

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:50 AM

#

how large is the difference in performance between a 5700 and the xt

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:50 AM

#

10-15% depending on the game

#

If you'd like I can swap that out for a 5700, but I didn't since you said 1250

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YhPygJ

#

with a decent 5700

#

the same 5700 I have actually

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

op

#

whoops

#

oh you have one yourself?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

yep

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

how do you like it?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

I use it for VR every day and it's great

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

also, how often do parts like that go on sale?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:53 AM

#

the stock 5700/xt had some overheating issues and were loud, but the sapphire pulse I have is cool and quieet

#

Pretty regularly, there's always discounts going on on something

#

the rx 5700 I put in that build is 20 off atm

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

oh cool, yeah my brother does vr sometimes

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

pcpartpicker is nice because it will look for and show you the best deal going for any given part

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

does it do well with compatibility?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

pretty well

#

but it's not gospel

#

just because it says parts work together doesn't mean it's a good idea to use them together

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

yeah, it seemed like my brother was throwing in just anything and having me verify it for him

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

like sometimes a motherboard will work with a really high end cpu but it will have bad vrms which can overheat

#

or sometimes a psu will work with a gpu but the gpu will draw too much power

#

or whatever

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

does putting an amd processor with an nvidia gpu bode well

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

it's fine

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 2:56 AM

#

ah, thats good, i wasnt sure if thatd be problematic

#

is there any specification for that case?

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

regular 5700 and 2600, i think that will be an okay match

#

for me, that is

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 3:31 AM

#

for like higher end gaming?

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:31 AM

#

well 1080p @144Hz

#

mostly playing narrative driven games and SC2

#

SC2 likes a good GPU, though

#

lots going on and people forget those little models are made up of quite a few polygons

#

i probably will play some high level stuff but not too much, but i'd like a GPU that lasts me a little while

#

i don't want to be out seeking another one any sooner than a year

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 3:34 AM

#

how long would a build like the one that visi put together last

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:34 AM

#

can't say

#

because i can't predict the pace which technology moves at

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:34 AM

#

Probably 3-4 years

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:34 AM

#

maybe visi will know more

#

yes

#

there we go

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:34 AM

#

hard to say for sure but that's a safe bet

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 3:35 AM

#

dang

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:35 AM

#

generally you can upgrade your gpu and the cpu will last a bit longer, however

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:35 AM

#

I had my old PC with a 390x for like 3 years

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:35 AM

#

at least in my experience

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:35 AM

#

is 2600/5700 a bad idea?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:35 AM

#

It's not, that's what I run

#

but he did say 1250 budget, so I went with the 3700x

#

better performance and more wiggle room with multithreading scaling

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 3:36 AM

#

what would you have changed had i said like 1000

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:36 AM

#

3600, cheaper motherboard, cheaper psu maybe

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:37 AM

#

i'll get the 2600 and a good quality motherboard, nicer cooler (because the process of installing a wraith stealth requires a lot more pressure and suffering than i can handle) in the form of a hyper T2

#

current motherboard isn't so hot

#

B350, showing up with issues running a 2nd gen ryzen 3

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:37 AM

#

yeah that'll happen

#

that's why I went ahead and put an x570 with the 3700x

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:37 AM

#

so i'm getting a B450

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:37 AM

#

works by default, it's made for it

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:38 AM

#

and i can upgrade to a 3700 later when they're made to be cheap by Zen3

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:38 AM

#

👍

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:38 AM

#

since i'll be able to upgrade my BIOS and all that

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:38 AM

#

I'm good with my 2600 for now, since I don't really do anything super cpu heavy

#

it's doing VR just fine which is my main use case

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:39 AM

#

yeah neither do i, i just want to play vidya and have a speedy experience

#

speaking of which, i have this old SATA M.2 drive that's like 256gb, gonna install windows on it 😄

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:39 AM

#

what would you guys say is the most critical component for getting boot times down?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:39 AM

#

nice

midnight summit Dec 12, 2019, 3:39 AM

#

in what case would have added a cooler

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:39 AM

#

it's better than not having an SSD at all

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:39 AM

#

a good ssd

#

get a pci-e m.2 ssd

#

will cut boot times down to nothing

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:40 AM

#

i will do that

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:40 AM

Alright, so if I wanted a pretty good PC would pairing the 3600 with the 5700x be pretty good?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

yes

#

the 5700xt you mean?

#

yeah it's a good matchup

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

was thinking of starting with a decent CPU that I could overclock the heck out of in the future and just worry about upgrading the GPU

#

yeah xt sorry

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

I've said it before, I'll say it again, if you're getting a 5700xt be sure to get a sapphire pulse, powercolor red dragon, Sapphire nItro+, or powercolor red devil

#

the first two are fine if you aren't OCing, the latter two are best if you're OCing

#

all the other coolers have issues

#

IE small thermal pads, bad heatsinks, etc

#

the 5700/xt line is rough

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

ahhhh good to know

#

Would you recommend any other GPUs?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

it's like most AIB manufacturers didn't actually try

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

best thermal pads for cpu?

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:47 AM

#

maybe from team green?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

You're paying more for similar performance with nvidia in that price range

#

but if you must, get a 2070super or 2060 super

#

they're both 100 more than their AMD counterparts

#

If you need the NVENC encoding though, for streaming or whatever

#

it's the only real way to go

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 3:49 AM

#

If you have ANY interest in Ray Tracing, please don't go 2060. My worst decision ever lulz

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:49 AM

#

i am forced to get a blower fan which just sucks (heh) because i can't get the nice powercolor 5700

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:49 AM

#

I don't say this lightly because people say it about VR all the time and it kills me -- raytracing is currently a gimmick.

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:49 AM

#

So what really is the difference between team red and green right now for GPUs?

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:49 AM

#

It won't be in the future, but at the moment it doesn't add to the game experience in any way.

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:49 AM

#

cause I know the difference for CPUs for the most part

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

nvidia costs more money

#

AMD uses a little more power

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

The difference between AMD and Nvidia, at least in the 300-500 dollar price range, is that you pay about 100 dollars more with Nvidia but get NVENC (hardware encoding) and cuda cores if that's something you need (and if you don't know what they are, chances are you don't need them, they're pretty niche in terms of usage outside of games and AMD's equivalent works fine for games)

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

i'd never use nvenc to encode video anyway, the quality isn't near as good as software encoders out there

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

It is basically free though, for people that want to game and stream on the same rig

#

comparatively anyway

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

ah

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

for streaming? yeah a good option

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

I'd highly recommend going AMD in that price range

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

i was thinking for encoding video files

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

I don't say this because of some misplaced brand loyalty, it's just the better deal as a consumer.

#

I recommend Nvidia cards in other price brackets.

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

Well if I was gonna stream I would probably buy an addon card when I get big enough, or dual system cause I'd love to flex my streamer bucks

#

XD

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

streamer bucks are such a rare thing

#

like getting them

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

One of my friends isn't that popular and streaming as a side gig is netting him a decent amount of cash

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

If you have regular viewers you'd be surprised how often they'll donate, even if you don't have a huge following

#

it won't earn you a living, but

#

it'll get you enough to get a nice streaming setup if it's your hobby

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

it's paid for his gaming rig a few times over and like all his bills, then his main job is paying for everything else

#

exactly

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

i know streamers who earn a living but it's usually because they're famous for something in particular

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:54 AM

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

by bills I mean electricity and internet

#

yep

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

anyway yeah, AMD is really the go to in that price range for the best price to performance benefits

ancient crystal Dec 12, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

like one streamer I know of does a lot of unique variety stuff along with games, she engages her audience really well

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

unless you need a feature that nvidia offers, like I said

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

So, 3600 with a 5700xt

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

good matchup for sure

winged gull Dec 12, 2019, 3:54 AM

powercolor and sapphire are the two good companies and they only make AMD coolers

honestly, just buy the cheapest version of the 5700xt that runs a good clock and has a good bin, then just strip it down yourself and slap new thermal paste and coolers on right? XD

@winged gull you could watercool a reference 5700xt

but it'll block about half the cooling fans with the power supply

yeah if the PSU has enough watts you could get what a double molex to 8 pin adapter or something....?

it's possible to get converters or you can just look at some of team green's founder edition cards which usually have 8 pin connectors

@lucid matrix more like what's your PSU? May not have 600w on 12v rail, or something else

Is 650 watt PSU enough for a 2080 Super? Don't really think of overclocking

hard wren Dec 12, 2019, 7:14 AM

#

it should be yes depending on the cpu

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 7:40 AM

#

do not use molex to 8 pin adapters

#

for one thing 8 pin pulls more than what 2 molex connectors can pull

#

for another thing those cables are notoriously bad and always catch fire

#

there's no quality control

#

you're asking for a fire

#

@lucid matrix

quartz patio Dec 12, 2019, 7:53 AM

@lucid matrix Rather just get a PSU with an 8pin it would be better and will cost you less in the long run

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 7:54 AM

#

If you mess with the adapter, you'll probably fry your whole system.

quartz patio Dec 12, 2019, 7:57 AM

#

Converters arent the way to go on a system it always messes something up in your system trust us we are speaking out of experience here, rather just buy the PSU you need and it wont cost you as much as buying the converters and a week or so later you need to buy a new GPU and PSU and you might just need to buy an entire new System at the end of all of it where it would have cost you just a PSU

5500xt my opinion

magic pebble Dec 12, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

originally they said the 5500xt was going to perform close to the rx580, but it looks like its performing closer to the rx570 in the 2 reviews I read this morning. That could change greatly with drivers and maybe even different reviews. There were some benches where the 5500xt was doing really well.

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

In the reviews I've seen the 5500xt is on par with the 1650 super/1060/580

#

they're all sort of within a few frames of eachother

#

so it really just depends on what price you find it for I guess

wicked hound Dec 12, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

1650S tbh. AMD has no specific benefits unlike Nvidia with CUDA, NVENC, less power consumption (if you're short on PSU)

Also $10 cheaper than 5500xt

If you're going to stream NVENC is really nice to have, so go for a 2060 super.

It's worth noting though, that the rx 5700 is a lot cheaper and performs as well or better than the 2060 super (but again, it lacks the hardware encoder for streaming, so you might see worse performance while streaming)

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

why would you want them to run together?

#

its not possible dude

#

youd need the same graphics cards

#

and mabye a sli bridge

#

best scenario I can think off is you use the 2060 to game and the 1050 ti to stream

jagged pier Dec 12, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

isnt that only for sli, but nonsli is basically useless right

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

but no games run good on sli anymore

#

or applications

#

nobody uses it anymore

#

Cuz I'm looking right now and some guy with a weird accent is making a 980ti and a work gtx 1070 together

#

don't listen to obscure ppl

#

not all ppl youtube are smart

#

me smarter better than them

#

Its the first result when you look up 2 graphic card together

#

why would you think of searching for something like 2 graphic card together

#

How would you phrase it?

#

I don't

#

because no games will ever support something like that

#

SLI or not

#

wuuut there's a reason why people upgrade

#

instead of " hey I'm getting the 2060 to add to my 1050 ti "

#

And if it were possible whats the point of not asking 🤷‍♀️

#

because it's not

#

That's not what I'm saying

#

Why would questions exist if everyone knew everything?

#

you don't ask weird questions

#

like " can your sister be your brother?"

#

it's common sense

#

If no one asked questions like, hey can I suck one of these cows 4 dicks" we wouldn't have milk

@lone pond My sister, originally born sister, became a transsexual and was my brother. And is now my sister again. So my sister could be my brother as she was for a period of time.

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

Not really.

#

There's hacky ways to make it work but it's not realistic and it works very very poorly to the point where you get worse performance.

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 11:21 PM

No I'm not re-asking the question

those were the days 😏

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 11:22 PM

some things on steam or something, idr exactly, but there was some way you could do it

and then differentsliauto is the other way

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:22 PM

it's not worth doing anyway -- even official SLI support is basically nonexistent these days

#

i got a gtx1660 is it a good graphics card??

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

It's okay for 1080p gaming but there's better options

#

if you already have it, don't feel bad about it

#

it works well

meager lichen Dec 12, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

whats better

#

??

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

you can get the rx 590 for cheaper and it performs nearly identically

#

and the 1660 super is hardly any more expensive and performs a good bit faster

#

but like I said, just because there's better options doesn't make the 1660 a bad card

#

it works well

It's about on par with the 1650 super so get whichever is cheaper

it's a good 1080p card for lighter gaming

maiden musk Dec 12, 2019, 11:30 PM

Yeah

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

@lone pond I was being irritating about price points

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:30 PM

it can struggle to run very new, high end titles at anything above medium settings/1080p

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

I watched a video on it and it’s not too bad

maiden musk Dec 12, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

Well, I have an RX580 now, but I’m not sure how much of an improvement it is

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:30 PM

#

It wouldn't be a big jump.

#

If any.

#

It's around the same performance.

#

Your card might actually be a bit better.

tender mulch Dec 12, 2019, 11:31 PM

RX580 level performance in some games. It's kinda meh

maiden musk Dec 12, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

Thanks

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

If you do want to upgrade, save up for an rx 5700 or xt imo

#

idk your financial situation though

#

but the 580 is still a solid card

maiden musk Dec 12, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

Yeah, those would be good, but my CPU is probably a bottleneck

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:32 PM

@summer peak you use the xt right

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:32 PM

yeah that'll bottleneck a 5700 probably

#

I have a base 5700 that I flashed xt bios onto

the sapphire pulse rx 5700

ooh clever

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:32 PM

it doesn't perform quite as well as an xt, but it gets close

lone pond Dec 12, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

Should I do that and save £50

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

if you're comfortable with hacky things like that

#

it's not too hard but it is a risk

#

it could brick your gpu

split hearth Dec 12, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

DaHeck that sounds pretty scary

summer peak Dec 12, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

if something goes wrong IE power going out during it

#

I have a UPS so I wasn't too worried

#

there's guides online, I only did this a week or two back when somebody here told me about it

#

plenty of info if you look for it

#

I'd say I get about 10% better performance with the xt bios as opposed to the base 5700

#

but it's not something you should do if you don't feel comfortable doing it
