#

the 5500XT just looks like a shady deal to me, like a thing you get because you're poor and doesn'

#

doesn't really satisfy

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:16 AM

#

The 5700 and 5700XT blew me away for the performance and price

#

But this one didn't really.

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:17 AM

#

they were trying to target something that was like a 580 in performance

#

but then people said it was more like a 570

#

RX series, rather

summer peak Dec 13, 2019, 1:19 AM

#

Well, it's important to keep in mind that the 5500xt is targeting a very different market demographic

#

it's not meant for you, it's meant for the types of people that play like, league of legends, and overwatch

#

at 1080p

#

easy to run games

#

but no, it isn't like a 570, it's more like a 1650 super

#

only one tester I could find got results similar to a 570

#

so I have to assume there was some sort of issue either with the card or with thermal throttling in his setup

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:21 AM

#

oh

#

i like that they're light on power

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

Wait I think I installed my 2700X CPU cooler wrong..

#

I forgot to do a step

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

i have a 1650 right now, the 5700 is currently a dream down the line after a few months of buying other more foundational parts for my system

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

That might be why the fan throttles up randomly not even under stress.

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

did you miss flipping the black switch on the retention clip

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

yes

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

heheh

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:22 AM

#

Is it okay or do I need to

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

you can do that easily so you should d oit

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

Ok I'll do it later since I'm lazy and don't want to unhook my PC from all the cables and then bring it downstairs..

gray vapor Dec 13, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

RX 5500 XT is pretty much a RX 590 that uses less power

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

it's also Navi architecture

#

instead of Polaris

#

Navi is drastically different than Polaris in how it operates

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

Also, there are 3 screws that my motherboard couldn't catch onto the case

#

They're the bottom right one

#

Is it okay to leave it like that?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

probably, but try to screw it in

#

hwen you get a chance

#

also the thing with the CPU not properly protected is really bad

#

pop that lever

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

I tried so many times, I even pushed down the motherboard to screw it in but it wouldn't catch

#

Just wondering, why is it really bad?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

you gotta do it still

#

because the cooler won't make full contact with full pressure

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

Oh

#

Is that why it ramps up the fan speed?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

yes

#

though it might do that afterwards too

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

Can I just do it right now?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

yes

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

I have carpet flooring

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

unplug your PC

#

touch earth (your case) and flip the switch

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:26 AM

#

Ok

#

take my feet off my carpet floor?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

make sure the second tab is on first

#

you're fine if you touch metal first

#

and do it every now and then

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

What second tab? There are 2 but one on the left, one on the right

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

yes

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

Which one is the 2nd?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

put the one without a switch on first

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

ok

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

then the one with a switch on second

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

If it's locked on already, can I latch down the black lever?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

yes

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

Okay

#

See you later 😛

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:28 AM

#

i always build entire PCs on carpet, i am the absolute worst

summer peak Dec 13, 2019, 1:29 AM

#

oh no

#

anni plz

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:30 AM

#

Wait do I pull the black lever up or down?

#

@ancient crystal

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

i dunno see which one locks it

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

ok

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

i'm not looking at it so like

#

i can't tell you

#

make it so the flat, not the angled part of the switch is facing upward

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

I made it go down

#

and I heard a click

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

is your cooler comfortably seated on

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

how do I find out?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

are the tabs and stuff in there tight

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

let me check

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:36 AM

#

like are the clips pulling on the tabs

#

i'm gonna get a cooler that operates like this for my R5 2600 because i hate AM4 mounts more than anything

#

AM3 mounting style 4-lyfe

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

when I lightly pull the cooler, the cooler doesn't move

#

is that good

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

yes

#

it doesn't rotate or anything right

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

no

#

I turned it on, checking if it's good now

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

okay you have success congratulation a winner is you

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

😀

#

it ramped up when I booted

#

is that normal

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

it is

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

ok

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

it should change afterward

#

like in windows

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

yup

#

ok logging in

#

I'm gonna keep the side panel open

#

how can I test if it's okay?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:41 AM

#

that's actually not recommended

#

it's okay by your description

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:42 AM

#

👌

#

the black lever clipped underneath a heat pipe

#

is that how it is?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:43 AM

#

well it should flip all the way to one side

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:45 AM

#

it still randomly ramps up and it vibrates my side panel

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:46 AM

#

maybe it is not a great cooler

runic trail Dec 13, 2019, 1:46 AM

#

I mean it's a stick cooler

#

stock*

#

probably gonna upgrade the cooler then the graphics card

#

or vise versa?

ancient crystal Dec 13, 2019, 1:50 AM

#

cooler is cheap

#

a hyper T2 or hyper 212 evo at least imo are both very good choices

#

my CPU is 65W so i'm just gonna use the T2

#

i used a hyper 212 evo to cool an FX-8350 and it worked very smoothly and that was one of the hottest running CPUs

#

i got temps in the 40s/50s idling which is good for that thing

#

and it never got higher than 80 under load

#

which for that chip, was okay

#

because the Tj. Max was about 100 degrees

river cosmos Dec 13, 2019, 2:36 AM

#

Hey can anyone help me shoes a graphics card

#

Chose*

#

These are my parts so far

what's your budget?

sudden forge Dec 13, 2019, 2:49 AM

#

PowerColor Red Dragon AMD Radeon RX570 8GB GDDR5

Get this card

summer peak Dec 13, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

only if you're on a really tight budget tbh

#

also replace that 2700x with a ryzen 5 3600 tbh

sudden forge Dec 13, 2019, 3:01 AM

#

I mean he hasn't really mentioned his budget or goals. I just bought that card for a friend who was running like a GTX 950 and needed an upgrade.

summer peak Dec 13, 2019, 3:04 AM

well that's why I asked his budget but he went MIA

Hi all

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

hey

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

Bought a 2060 super new a couple weeks back and I think its failing now

#

:(

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

symptoms?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

What can I do?

#

It crashes all games when it tries to do full load

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

you can file a RMA with the manufacturer

#

did you OC it?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

Nope

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

Your ram is of good quality?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

PC ram? I dont see what's wrong with it.

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

I had issues with my ram, my games kept crashing, task manager showed a spike in GPU, but when I lowered my ram XMP profile, everything was fine

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

May not be the best but I hope it's not the problem

#

Huh.

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

test that rq

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

How so

#

Turn xmp off?

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

Are you running on default profile?

#

there should be a lower profile

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

Didnt check so afaik not sure

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

try that, if that doesn't work, you can file a RMA with the manufactorer

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

All right

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

what company made it?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:46 AM

What a mess my dude lmao

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

Ima try and help

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:48 AM

#

Here's hoping I can get it replaced/repaired

#

Thank you I appreciate it

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

@odd pendant you did try updating drivers n stuff right

#

I just looked through how gigabyte is doing their support, I'm not finding a place I can file a RMA ticket, so you might have to use their esupport thing

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:51 AM

Ye updated with geforce experience

#

All right

#

I have MSI so idrk how its gonna work

#

Just tell them your graphics card is crashing your games, you have updated drivers, and all your other components were tested to be fine

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

Thank you!

#

What a mess. Was hoping I'd never have technical issues like this. Never have before

#

I always bought used. This time I bought stuff new and this happens

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

Don't expect it to end in one ticket, they'll likely want you to try and fix it before they give you an RMA, so be stern in follow ups

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

All right

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

Well Bio I have the exact opposite experience, everything I bought used had some sort of crippling issue, everything I bought new worked just fine lol

#

I got a used mobo, came missing wifi antenna, had to flash bios and reset rmos or whatever its called. got a used graphics card, it was a mining card and wasn't working at all.

Oof

cerulean rover Dec 13, 2019, 3:56 AM

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:04 AM

The process of finding this out was a rollercoaster. Steam vr would crash but mixed reality wouldn't. I think, huh. Strange. Maybe itll fix itself. Then I try minecraft path tracing. Crashes. I think, huh, strange. Might be my vivecraft installation messing with things. So then I try quake II rtx. Crashes. Okay. Something is wrong.

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:07 AM

#

On windows 10 right?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

Yes

#

I sent an RMA thing

#

Did windows memory diagnostic. Definitely not my RAM

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

What card did you upgrade from?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

It's a new build

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

Ah.

#

Are you using all of your motherboard drivers from the manufacturer or windows 10?

#

have you updated your BIOS to the latest version?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:22 AM

#

No I have not updated motherboard BIOS

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:22 AM

#

And you installed all of the drivers from the motherboard and not just what WIndows gave you?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

You mean like from the included disc? I have no disc drive so it wasn't an option

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

No, i meant downloaded from the motherboard manufacturers website

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

Ah, then no afaik

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

do both before you RMA the card then

#

It honestly sounds like a software issue

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

Could be. I found something strange. After testing my RAM I opened aorus engine. It might have been an OC issue

#

I had to set to do the gpu boost auto scanned

#

I defaulted everything and it seems to work now

#

But it's a shame I cant do the auto scan

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

Yeah, overclocks can cause issues

#

It should be tested with unengine heaven or something to be sure it's stable

#

The GPU will auto boost to described frequency without overclocking

#

Once it has a load on it

#

For now, I would honestly install ALL of the motherboard drivers though

#

DOn't do the BIOS unless you continue to have issues

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

Also for some reason it's not really showing a load when in quake 2 rtx. Is that normal

#

It's getting about 64ish fps

#

It should have a load on it right?

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

What CPU?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

R5 3400g

#

Not a cpu bottleneck afaik

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

Um, don't be so sure lol

#

108op gaming is mostly CPU reliant

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

All right

#

I will try minecraft PTGI again then

#

Which I know is a gpu bottleneck

#

Okay now it hits 100%

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

I wouldn't necessarily call it a bottleneck

#

But you won't get the best performance out the 2060 paired with that processor

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:30 AM

#

Phew I'm glad the gpu is okay. Should I try auto scan oc again or nah

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:30 AM

#

Nah

#

If you're going to OC

#

Get MSI Afterburner and slowly bump things up 50 mhz at a time and test after each bump

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:30 AM

#

All right

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:30 AM

#

Run Unengine Heaven after each bump to test for stability

#

it's going to take some time

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:31 AM

#

Thank you all for the help by the way!

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:31 AM

#

For my EVGA 2060 I got 200mhz Core and 400MHZ memory

#

YW!

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:31 AM

#

Didnt know auto scan was considered an OC. Thought it was like a to do thing when you got a gpu

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:31 AM

#

Nope

#

It's an auto scan to find the highest overclock

#

Best to do it the manual way

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:31 AM

#

Wonder why it was stable two weeks ago

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

Driver update?

#

nVidia just released one....but it's hard to say

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

Could be. Could be.

#

You might be right

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

Windows 10 just u pdated too

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:33 AM

#

I dont think I downloaded that update but maybe in the future I will try it again some day or just do manual oc

#

Thank you again!

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:33 AM

#

If it runs fine at stock clocks I wouldn't worry too much

#

Welcome!

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:33 AM

#

I was so worried I'd have to get it repaired or replaced

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:33 AM

#

Since it was all RTX based from your above post, that indicated software issues

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:34 AM

#

Gotcha

#

Steam vr wasn't rtx and neither was ptgi minecraft but yeah quake 2 rtx was also not working

#

It was just when a big load was hitting the gpu caused a crash

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:34 AM

#

Well, I thought PTGI Minecraft was a shader pack with ray tracing?

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

Well yes, but not official RTX support

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

AH, gotcha

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

Its software path tracing

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

I know real time ray tracing is coming though.....can't wait for that

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

Same

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

But i think it's WIndows 10 edition only since Java edition can't do it

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

They said they wanted 2060 for 1080p60 and 2070 1440p60 and 2080 for 4k60

#

So hopefully all that doesn't take them long to optimize

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

Well, just be aware that the RTX 2060 is kind of weak for ray tracing games

#

I've owned one since it came out

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

The super is basically a 2070 though

#

Anywho that's okay

#

I dont own anything other than quake 2 rtx lmao

#

For ray tracing

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

Ya, just don't expect the moon! On BFV it was 40-60 FPS

#

Mine is an ultra clocked blah blah blah

#

with an overclock lol

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

Yeah I don't mind any low quality rtx or nothing :p on a budget anyway lol

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

Good. You're in the right place then

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

I think the pc was a total of $800ish

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

Also keep in mind that CPU is under driving the GPU a little bit

#

I wouldn't call it a bottle neck but definitely losing a bit of performance

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:39 AM

#

For most games I play it doesn't seem to be an issue but yeah regretting not getting a 3600

tender mulch Dec 13, 2019, 4:39 AM

#

2600 would probably be fine

odd pendant Dec 13, 2019, 4:39 AM

#

Just for cpu rendering tasks

Question - MSI GTX 1660Ti gaming X temperature high?

Hi, I recently bought MSI GTX 1660 Ti gaming X 6GB, going from MSI 960 Gaming 2GB. While gaming - t goes way higher than on 960. I don't know much about how new cards operate - just going from assumption than newer means better - that would include temperature. So - while ...

yes i have hit 100% speed before

Thats a sign of a broken product

I dont think you can fix that

devout pawn Dec 13, 2019, 6:51 AM

oh... great...

sand sorrel Dec 13, 2019, 6:52 AM

" The card has coils in the power system to help smooth out the power with the capacitors. The regulator pulses the power VERY fast and the pulse rate changes with load(this is how the voltage is regulated). This can cause the coils to make a buzzing sound.

This will not hurt the card in the long run and some users report being able to RMA over it. I find it to be luck of the draw to be honest.

Some users also claim that better filtering in the power supply(More caps in most cases) can reduce or even remove this. "

Or just something could be bent and hitting something

I have looked at benchmarks n seeing only a 5 to 10 percent difference between each. 590 at 190 1660 suoer at 250 and and 1660 ti at 290 along with the 5500xt at 200 and 5700 at 350. The price stacking was a bit confusing so I was asking about the gpus to see if the extra money was actually worth it.

Maverick, as other have stated you don't need AMD nor NVIDIA for any specific. AMD CPUs right now are an incredible buy and smoke Intel on value at every point. Only the absolute bleeding edge is still held by Intel right now. Your best gameing video card though is likely an NVIDIA. I'm running an AMD 2600x and NVidia 1660 Ti personally and very happy.

summer peak Dec 14, 2019, 12:00 AM

#

Nvidia is only really better at certain price points.

#

Nvidia specifically kills it at the 200 dollar price point and the super high end (800+)

#

AMD has it at the low end (under 150) and mid range (300-500)

#

obviously talking gpus, AMD cpus are a good deal all around

hollow tulip Dec 14, 2019, 12:02 AM

#

I'd agree with you at anything $200+ is NVIDIA. Sub $200 the AMD ARE better, but you're almost better going for the 3200G or 3400G if your going that way

summer peak Dec 14, 2019, 12:03 AM

#

the rx 5700 performs as a 2060 super for 100 dollars less. The 5700xt performs as a 2070super for the price of a 2060 super.

#

I don't know man, I think AMD is killing it in the mid range.

#

Now, that being said, if you stream a lot Nvidia could well be worth the 100 dollar premium in that price point -- nvenc is great and nearly free for encoding a stream.

hollow tulip Dec 14, 2019, 12:05 AM

Depends on the deal you get. Those can be very tight especially with all the freaking deals right now. That 100 was 10 earlier this week.

They're updated way more often than you seem to think, Nvidia tends to just have game ready drivers out a few days before AMD.

Yeah I'm really not trying to fight with you or anything but like, these issues aren't really issues anymore.

At the very least, speaking from experience, I've had no more issues with AMD than I have with Nvidia.

#

I had a few hiccups with the 5700 when it first came out, but after the first month it's been rock solid.

#

And that's kind of to be expected.

They had budget down hard and up to mid. Anything else has always been NVIDIA. I'd love to see them take that for a while! Somewhere I saw 90% of all CPU sales this quarter, and maybe longer all all AMD.

summer peak Dec 14, 2019, 12:13 AM

#

yeah, AMD is really killing it right now

#

I'm happy, but I worry they'll just pull the same thing Nvidia and Intel have been doing with pricing after a while

#

since now they're getting market majority

#

but then I'm sure Nvidia and Intel will cut their prices to counter that

590

better performance

wicked hound Dec 14, 2019, 4:55 AM

pretty sure 1650S/1660 on average outperforms 590 in gaming (not raw compute/synthetics)
Also NVENC

summer peak Dec 14, 2019, 5:06 AM

It depends on the game, but in most games the 590 outperforms the 1650 super

brisk flame Dec 14, 2019, 5:08 AM

the 590 also uses a crap ton more power

1660 Super

okay

gray vapor Dec 14, 2019, 8:39 PM

@remote venture the thing is right now the 1650 Super is about 40$ cheaper than the 5500 XT and the only thing better about the 5500 XT is it gives you 2-5 more frames

more like, nvidia is in bed with developers and helps fund them and then gives them tools to make the game run better on nvidia

this is a whole program nvidia has and AMD doesn't really

get a 2070 super if you really want, but you can get the same performance with a 5700xt and save yourself some money -- I'd only get the 2070 super if you're a streamer. NVENC is really useful.

it uses a little more power than the nvidya card but you shouldn't worry too much about a 50W under load bump

was it 50W?

Is the 5700xt worth the extra $50 compared to the 5700

#

People on this server need to start checking benchmarks and deciding this stuff for themselves

prime jay Dec 15, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

Yup

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

@lone pond they don't understand so they need other people to decide for them

#

I bet most of them skimp thru the benchmarks

#

or they already decided on what they want to get

#

but they want to make sure that they are doing the right thing

Nvidia RTX 2060 vs AMD RX 5700: Which one should you buy?

It’s all gone a bit Game of Thrones in the world of s this week. Having enjoyed a very comfortable stint on the 1440p Iron Throne ever since it rose to power in February of this year, Nvidia’s RTX 2060 was just about to assure its legacy with the birth of the RTX 2060 Sup...

any suggestions on a good nvidia card for a $1000 pc build which can play cities skylines and gta5 no probs.

wide rose Dec 15, 2019, 3:47 PM

@lunar gull 1080 used

#

$300

#

or a vega 64

#

1080 is better

#

but the vega 64 can be found slightly more often for $300

#

?

wide rose Dec 15, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

i mean

#

theres better uses of your money for that price

#

but yea thats a good card

#

the 1080 used at 300 is a really good deal

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

for an upgrade that's a pretty small step, i'd wait another year unless you're trying to hit a certain 1440p performance now

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:33 PM

#

1080 ti for around $350

#

is the deal you are looking for

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

says me who upgraded from a 1070 to a 2070 super LUL

tender mulch Dec 15, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

Small step? You're talking 50% perforance increase at 1080p

#

That's not exactly small

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

is perforance a perfume brand?

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:35 PM

#

maybe that's just me, i usually go 2 generations before getting a new card

#

i guess it's a worthwhile step if you play a lot of shooters and want to get over 100 fps or if you're trying to get into 1440p

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

I don't understand why 1440p is a thing

#

but that's just me

#

I go straight to 4k

#

x.x

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

because there exist cards that can actually drive it beyond 60hz unlike 4k mainly

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

it's either perfect performance at 1080p

#

or 4k60

#

1440p is just weird

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

scaling 1080p content is 1440p isn't exactly bit perfect also

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

1080p looks like poo but i like high refresh rate

#

so i went 1440

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

you can actually drive cs go past 144hz on 4k on some gpus

#

and that's the only game that matters to me x.x

#

1440p is nice and all if you are playing games but it doesn't really do anything beyond that

#

because there aren't 1440p content so it's either downscaling or upscaling

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:45 PM

#

it's working great for me so far

#

i haven't noticed any scaling issues

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

well I'm just talking objectively, if you are happy with your purchase

#

who am I to tell you

#

but watching 1080p content on 1440p will definitely looks worse

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

youtube has 1440p, twitch fits almost perfectly into a 1080p area on the screen, idk what netflix and what not do

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

than on 1080p monitor

#

that's a fact

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

you can still watch it at 1080p if it's noticeable to you

#

the pixel density looks better

#

4k is obviously ideal for watching movies and what not

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

4k is just ideal for watching 4k content and 1080p content because the scaling is bit perfect

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

but 1440p is as big as you can go without blowing up your video card with this generation

#

once high refresh 4k is figured out i'll probably end up there eventually

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

It's already there

#

you can't drive modern games that high

#

is the problem

#

old games like cs go? easy

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 4:53 PM

i mean the monitors too

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:53 PM

Hello, so a while back a guy helped me picked PC parts for a new computer here. Since I've started buying parts my dad offered to help me out since I would also be using it for college. He refuses to buy anything amd tho. Is there any significant difference in rendering speed between 2060 s and 2070 s? And which one would be enough to play 1080p ultra on all games at 100+ fps? Thanks!

wide rose Dec 15, 2019, 4:55 PM

bro

#

if your dad is helping

#

just get the 2070

lul

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 4:56 PM

if you can handle big screen tvs, there are some 4k cheap ones with 120hz

monitor it's lil bit more expensive

wide rose Dec 15, 2019, 4:56 PM

i play on 120hz

is it worth getting a cable for 144

im just too lazy to switch it from hdmi

is there a diff. between 120 and 144hz enough for me to buy a dp cable

tender mulch Dec 15, 2019, 4:59 PM

Why DP? HDMI 2.0 should do that

doesnt

you don't have a DP cable in 2019 you should get one

fps for the games i play isnt a prob

tender mulch Dec 15, 2019, 5:00 PM

HDMI 2.0. You probably have 1.4

that guy said the description included it

if so you need DP with Nvidia cards

im just too lazy

how do you even use freesync? i never figured that out

also the connector is easier to plug in too

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 5:07 PM

you just turn it on on the monitor and it just works?

maiden sun Dec 15, 2019, 5:08 PM

😂

gray vapor Dec 15, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

You do it in the monitor settings and the Nvidia control panel

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

at high refresh rate I don't notice freesync actually do anything

#

because screen tearing is almost non existance

gray vapor Dec 15, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

Also you need to chance the vsync setting in the nvidia control panel to on

wide rose Dec 15, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

yea @lone pond

#

ive never had an issue with screen tearing

#

and i notice it if its there

#

beacuse if a game bugs out ill sometimes get it

gray vapor Dec 15, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

and even though if you have a 144hz monitor it is said for in games to limit the frames to 141

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

i just limit the framerate at whatever the game can run steady at

#

but seems like it'd be nice to have freesync on

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 5:09 PM

don't limit the framerate

if you are into competitive shooters

lone pond Dec 15, 2019, 5:10 PM

even if it goes past the hz limit, whatever is not being shown there still keeps the response time smoother

and you limit the fps to 60

it won't run as smooth as high fps

next ginkgo Dec 15, 2019, 5:11 PM

or RDR2
