Or titan rtx

spiral forum Dec 20, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

Overall, which is the better card? 5500 XT or 1650 Super?

sage mountain Dec 20, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

5500 xt is faster

dense flicker Dec 20, 2019, 10:27 PM

#

its overpriced.

sage mountain Dec 20, 2019, 10:27 PM

#

Regarding value, since the 8gb version doesn't seem to significantly outperform the 4gb version in gaming, the 4gb is better choice

#

I think the 4gb is reasonable, but 8gb not

lone pond Dec 20, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

Just get a 1050ti it can run all games at 180fps for me

#

RUST all max settings

1% is not faster lol

#

have ocd a bit tho

gray vapor Dec 20, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

@spiral forum better card is the 1650 Super

#

you would only see a 1 to 2 percent difference and it is cheaper

lone pond Dec 20, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

and you could spend marginally more money and get a 1660 super or 1660ti

gray vapor Dec 20, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

Well 1650S is 160$ and 1660S is about 230$ and sure there is a big performance boost from the 2 but if someone wants something good enough for now and on a tight budget i would go for the 1650S

The thing is with your 1050 Ti for it to be stable enough would be 5% to 10% overclocking which is fine and all and also maxing out Rust at 1080p to get 180 fps with that GPU is actually impossible

#

The only way you would be able to get over 60 frames on Rust maxed out with a 1050 Ti if you were playing on 800x600

what kind of game is rust

grand tinsel Dec 21, 2019, 2:52 AM

my friend and I destroyed the GT 610 that used to be in my system today

#

ripped of the capacitors with pliers, smashed it with a sledgehammer, and smacked it to kingdom come with a golf club

(will send pics once they finish uploading to my drive)

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

my friend and i did the same thing to an Atari when I was a kid, I am kicking myself

inland cave Dec 21, 2019, 2:55 AM

no one wants a gt 610 tho

true

inland cave Dec 21, 2019, 2:56 AM

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

lol nice

#

GT 610 definitely had it coming

#

that's a bad GPU

#

even when it was released it didn't really do anything

#

did you know intel made a discrete GPU besides the ones that are coming up in 2020?

#

can you imagine the possibilities when that comes out

#

AMD system with an intel GPU

inland cave Dec 21, 2019, 3:11 AM

#

I might throw a discreet gpu into my old system upstairs that doesn't have any gpu, but was built to be tiny and powerful

Funny thing is the GT 710 is actually a good card

#

Is the gt 1030 worth it's price?

tender mulch Dec 21, 2019, 4:21 AM

#

No.

#

Some integrated is actually better

pure panther Dec 21, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

Are two crossfired 1080's good

#

And how much would they cost

tender mulch Dec 21, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

Eh, no

#

Modern games don't even really support sli any more honestly

#

It's pretty much gone away. It's good for rendering or encoding.

#

Better off to get one good gpu than two

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

Desiree just get a 5700, you'll be very happy you did

#

it's a high mid range GPU that will run some stuff nearly 60fps at 4K even

#

and costs $300 or thereabouts

gray vapor Dec 21, 2019, 7:42 AM

#

@waxen birch If you were to go for a GT 1030 this would be the model to go for https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-gt-1030-gv-n1030d5-2gl/p/N82E16814125972

#

And there is this one which is a passive cooled model https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-gt-1030-gt-1030-2gh-lp-oc/p/N82E16814137140

#

Also those are the GDDR5 models

Did you try watercooling your GPU ?

#

Is a GT 730 a good pairing for an I5 3400K

#

I have a budget pc and I just upgraded my gpu to a 730. Wondering if that's a good pairing or if I should just sell it

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

not 100% sure how good it is

#

Since GT730 is pretty bad but idk what bottlenecks a I5-3400K

patent acorn Dec 21, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

I had a radeon hd 7470 and that bottlenecked my i5 to like 60%

#

When I installed my 730 it seems like everything is usually pinned at 100%

#

Not one thing is working harder than the rest

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

then you may need a new upgrade on everything

#

cuz most likely its at its peak

patent acorn Dec 21, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

Well yea that's obvious but I dont have the money for that

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

how much do you think a decent set up is gonna cost?

patent acorn Dec 21, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

From what I'm at rn a full upgrade would cost 800 bucks

#

Because I have an OEM power supply, case and mobo

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 3:48 PM

#

nah

#

one sec

patent acorn Dec 21, 2019, 3:48 PM

#

So I would need to replace literally everything

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

this right here run most games rn at high settings 80+ FPS

#

you cna make cheaper decent ones too so I mean really just depends

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

you've got that FATBOY

#

it's right up there with the THICC 5700 XT

tender mulch Dec 21, 2019, 4:25 PM

Oof.

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:25 PM

It is. Fatboy isnt much better

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:26 PM

every time i mention it as a joke Visi is like NO THAT IS A TERRIBLE CARD

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

I mean its budget its not good

tender mulch Dec 21, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

Wondering if something newer would be a better investment? 1050ti or 1650?

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

no no no

#

worse than a 580

tender mulch Dec 21, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

K. Can't look right now.

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

1650 is a good investment, i can get most not-demanding games to run 144Hz with my monitor

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

you mean FPS?

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

i mean Hz because my monitor is 144Hz with adaptive sync

#

so the games match FPS to Hz

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

I mean my monitor is at 144hz rn

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

i've used fraps with stuff

#

the games are running 144fps

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

ok

#

what do you play?

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

a bunch of weeb JRPGs and like bloodstained and mostly console ports :3

#

i'm gonna get a beastly GPU to play all this stuff in the future

tender mulch Dec 21, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

Try GeForce experience osd instead of fraps

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

i also like games like metro 2033, narrative FPS

#

why do i have to install geforce experience

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

yeah you sound like you dont need a serious GPU

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

i'm still gonna get one

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

I mean go fore it

tender mulch Dec 21, 2019, 4:33 PM

Shadowplsy is less resource intensive than fraps.

#

GeForce experience etc.

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

fraps isnt that intensive tho

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:34 PM

#

i also like some really demanding AAA games like mass effect andromeda (which is to be honest still quite demanding to the point that you need a $300 GPU to really enjoy the visuals)

#

but like, geforce experience

#

you need to experience the geforce

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:35 PM

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

i'm gonna scout a Vega 64 that hasn't been abused (signs of this include the seller offering returns on ebay, especially free returns) because you can have it for $60-70 less than a 5700 for similar performance in most fields

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

however

#

my friend got a 64 gigabyte card

#

and it doesn't work

#

runs worse than my 580 so be careful of that

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

it clearly is a lie what card it is

#

BIOS flashed on a lower card to report it's a vega 64

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

no I mean he got this straight from amazon

#

the seller was amazon it just didn't work for some reason

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

it shouldn't run worse than a 580

#

it should run very well

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

exactly

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

something is up

#

i hope your friend returned it

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

he did

#

he got a 5700 xt now

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

it's too bad nobody ever made games that took advantage of the half precision math stuff on those cards

#

they'd be blazing fast

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

ikr

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:40 PM

#

rapid packed math or something like that

vestal wing Dec 21, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

yeah

ancient crystal Dec 21, 2019, 4:41 PM

#

the VII might have actually performed

#

Navi is the future though

#

there's a reason it is

#

it doesn't require any special programming to be a spectacular architecture

#

the vega cards should in theory still be competing fiercely in gaming with what we have now, because of their features, but they don't because nobody will program for them but they'll program for something silly like hairworks

#

i thought even about a 56 but that's too low even for me, it isn't going to drive the VR gaming i want to do someday soon

how much are you paying for the 9600k?

#

Im considering getting a 5700 xt. My question is, is it worth getting the XT or saving some money, getting 5700, and then flashing a 5700 XT bios on it?

copper sleet Dec 21, 2019, 8:31 PM

#

sorry to break it to you but i don't think you can just flash a bios and magically get a new graphics card

sage mountain Dec 21, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

it does work with 5700 series

#

flashing the xt bios on 5700 without bios switch on the card is obviously a risk, and a card with such a switch might be quite expensive and even reach 5700xt prices (some cheaper ones), so its really up to you

#

whether u want to take the risk or nawh

copper sleet Dec 21, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

welp my bad then

sage mountain Dec 21, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

s'all good, ur still partly correct

#

even with 5700 xt bios, ur still down 4 stream processor cores or however many it was

#

u just have access to higher clocks

#

which is why it might just be better to get a 5700 xt if u plan to get a switch 5700 to play it safe

#

unless u find a nutty sale

lone pond Dec 21, 2019, 11:14 PM

Alright, thank you!

ancient crystal Dec 22, 2019, 1:45 AM

u void ur warranty and if something goes wrong you could end up with a 0xt

No not at all. Fortnite and Apex mostly.

ancient crystal Dec 22, 2019, 4:42 AM

Fortnite needs some power to run though

#

so does Apex

#

Fortnite is surprisingly really demanding

obtuse pier Dec 22, 2019, 4:42 AM

#

I was thinking a 580 or 1050 ti.

ancient crystal Dec 22, 2019, 4:43 AM

580 8GB will be more performance

Just don't wanna run into any bottleneck.

ancient crystal Dec 22, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

you wouldn't even with a 1660 Super

#

these are all low end cards

#

but compared with fortnite and apex you want like a 580 or go a little higher to a 1660 Super

#

and those will run the games great

junior sorrel Dec 22, 2019, 6:57 AM

#

Any good eGPU suggestions?

proven valve Dec 22, 2019, 7:42 AM

#

I've heard that the rx 5700 xt reference card overheats, so what manufacture (or card) should i pick so that the rx5700 xt doesn't overheats

#

depend in the budget Salty

ancient crystal Dec 22, 2019, 7:47 AM

#

I think ideally you're going to get the PowerColor Red Devil, or the Sapphire Pulse

#

the Red Devil is a beast with 3 fans and it's long so take that into account

#

the Pulse is smaller with two fans

#

the other ones don't compare remotely to those two, especially the red devil

#

Sapphire and PowerColor are manufacturers that do exclusively AMD cards

#

and they seem to consistently put out good AMD cards

#

the reference card overheats only if it doesn't get enough airflow

#

i probably need to get another case fan when i get my AMD blower card (haven't decided on one) but it'll help if there's more airflow

#

something about my case, a quirk of it requires you to use a blower/reference card, the PCIe slot is blocked by the power supply

you can always check GPU utilization in Task manager in the performance tab

The red devil 5700xt is good but AMD can't seem to fix the drivers. It's a hit or miss. I had to return mine. Screen flickering, blue screens, forced restarts while browsing a webpage. I do not recoment the card. However I do recoment the msi gaming x 2070 super. No issues. 1 driver install and it's been seamless.

when is the 2080ti Super coming? or will it just be called 2080 Super Duper XD

@hollow mantle Vram is the graphics memory 8 gigabytes is more than 4 gigbytes and having more memory on your GPU is vital if you're going to run games on Ultra Settings or do video Rendering.

RTX Titan is the most powerful consumer GPU right?

Ya. The Titan is full tu 102 , and since the gddr6 chips are 2GB each, it can run 12 of them on a 384 bit bus, so 10% more memory bandwidth vs 2080 ti.

But overclocking options are slim, power limit is restricted , better off going kingpin

ancient crystal Dec 23, 2019, 8:02 AM

#

5700XT, your CPU will drive it properly

#

you'll have a great experience with that

#

although what is your current GPU

#

2070 Super competes directly with the 5700XT btw, and it's just like $100 more

#

so unless you need NVENC for streaming, there's really no point

silk quiver Dec 23, 2019, 8:07 AM

#

I want to get a 5700 but I don’t know how to choose which brand. Could someone help?

ancient crystal Dec 23, 2019, 8:09 AM

#

Sapphire PULSE or PowerColor Red Dragon or Red Devil

#

those are the ones you want, they have great coolers

silk quiver Dec 23, 2019, 8:09 AM

#

So when it come to that just look at coolers for the most part?

ancient crystal Dec 23, 2019, 8:10 AM

yeah, as in choose one of those because they're the best available

So the red devil is $40 more than the pulse. Any reason spend the extra $40 to get the devil over pulse?

ancient crystal Dec 23, 2019, 8:22 AM

3 fans

#

take that for what you will

#

the pulse is fine though

it's very well cooled and well designed

so save some money if you can

ok so

#

i own a GTX 960 yeah?

and it crashes in certain game titles

those titles being CS:GO, Kurtzpel, SCP:SL, and I've had like 2 in PC Building sim.

#

CS:GO and Kurtzpel crash very often tho, SL isnt crashing anymore but still

#

and i was wondering what you guys thought about this?

#

hell i dont even know if i came to the right place lol

gray vapor Dec 23, 2019, 12:40 PM

#

Check if the fans are working and if they are check the thermals of your GPU when you play a game and if it is going way over 80c then you would need to replace the thermal paste on your GPU

cursive yoke Dec 23, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

@vital zephyr actually sounds like a driver issue, not an overheating issue to me. It would not hurt to check your card and make sure there isn't dust build up on it, however, this sounds software related. Have you installed Geforce Experience? Have you updated the drivers recently? Did it previously work fine? What changed since it worked if so?

vital zephyr Dec 23, 2019, 3:29 PM

#

Да, I've actually already replaced the GPU's thermal paste, as well as making sure that the drivers are up-to-date. It's always been like this, far as I can remember, but updating the drivers seems to help for a bit before it goes back to crashing at random times. I did clean it when i did the thermal paste re-application as well.

#

fortunately im gonna be upgrading to a GTX 980 soon enough, but still would like to get this fixed.

cursive yoke Dec 23, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

Ok, so if you have checked overheating issue, and graphics driver issue.. could be motherboard controller related.. What motherboard are you running the card on? Have you checked to see if the chips are getting hot? Have you updated the driver software for the motherboard?

#

If it has always been like that since the build of the system you could also have a component mismatch (i.e. RAM that isn't compatible with motherboard)

#

These are all things to check... likely that your issue isn't with the graphics card itself

#

Hope that helps!

thats a mini itx card

If so you can take it down a little and get the 1650 Super

or, he can keep the 1660 super and have it be a valid machine for longer

Or he can go for the 1650 Super since the majority of cute childish games are not demanding at all

can't forget those people that would try to do a trade for PC parts

#

Back then when i would sell my old GPU i would always get messages about trading my GPU for a Xbox 360 which i had a feeling it was a banned system which would of been useless for me

Should I get the Raedon Rx 5700 or rtx 2070?

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

Stream or no?

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

is the price jump from 2080 to 2080 super worth it?

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

Depends. What are you upgrading from?

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

1050 ti

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

The price difference makes the super worth it over the 2080

#

Is your CPU good?

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

I'd be building a new system

#

so it would be a 3700x prolly

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

Go 3600 if you don't need the extra cores

#

An overclock on that should be good

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

I mean, it's only what, $50-75 for the difference?

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

But if you don't use the cores then they just sit

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

Oh, they'll get used

#

I have a 3700

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

At that point it's a minimal single core difference

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

multithreaded games exist now

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

Is there a 3700 non x?

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

so thats cool

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

If I remember right, you're going to stream right?

Can the 2080ti hold 180 FPS at 1080p on max (epic?) settings on Fortnite

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

yes

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

Yeah

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

But these multithreaded games dont use 16 threads usually

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

go 3700X for video processing, etc

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 9:18 PM

#

A 2080ti can hold 1440p 144hz high settings

brisk creek Dec 23, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

i prefer really high fps in 1080p gaming

#

and ive found Fortnite to be a pain

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

It should on 1080p

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

A 2080 ti can do 240hz fine

alpine wave Dec 23, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

Yes bekora

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

What CPU?

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

im not super concerned about the CPU, just if it was a diminishing return

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

No, Deathpony

#

1080p is more CPU based rather than GPU

#

I'd go 2080 super if you can, not that much more but more performance

alpine wave Dec 23, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

Is it worth the extra $20 for the X on the 3600

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

No, just higher base clocks

#

But!

#

What CPU are you trying to get 180 FPS on fortnite with?

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

its like 0.2ghz more iirc

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

1080p is more CPU based than GPU

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

yup

brisk creek Dec 23, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

im currently on the i7 4790k but i think its time to upgrade

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

resolution is mostly handled on the cpu

brisk creek Dec 23, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

especially since it looks like i might be buying a 2080 ti

tender mulch Dec 23, 2019, 9:22 PM

#

Well, 1440p is an even wash, 4K is mostly GPU bound

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

huh

#

id've figured otherwise since 4k can be handled at low settings on iGPUs

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

No it cant

#

I've never seen 4k gaming on igpu go well

#

Maybe light games, and even then on amd Vega integrated

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

yeah

#

thats what i meant

#

but the fact that they can handle it at all

#

would to me imply that its mostly cpu bound

#

which is why I'm somewhat surprised that its more GPU bound

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

It runs so slow because its gpu bound

#

On an igpu the gpu is the weak link

unkempt crater Dec 23, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

Ight

#

Not trying to have an argument I was just surprised

grizzled arrow Dec 23, 2019, 10:33 PM

My friend has one and he is very happy with it, good cooling and good rgb

Yeah, don't get the Gigabyte. Powercolor or Sapphire for those

I would go for the powercolor idf those are the only options

exactly

ao the sapphire pulse is better than the gigabyte and the powercolor?

GIgabyte, yes. Powercolor has better cooling but Sapphire is a great card also.

Well I mean I wouldn't get those cards because of there rgb for one, but if you are looking for an rgb card, You're going to have to suffer from performance loss, because a lot of companies underclock the style cards

but both are solid cards, can’t really say the rtx is worth it rn because of limited games but nvenc (or whatever it’s called) is really nice

Still if you are going to buy a new card, no sense in not having the newer tech... just sayin

It is superior

#

IMO it is worth the extra cash

The Taichi is only really good if you want 6 monitors

ancient crystal Dec 25, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

i could get the red devil i guess because it'd get like half the fans worth of airflow

livid girder Dec 25, 2019, 7:24 AM

pretty sure the gigabyte is rly good as well

the 5700xt

@livid girder it isnt really good

but decent

ember imp Dec 25, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

For what you pay for it’s decent

wicked hound Dec 25, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

Pulse is still better despite 1 less fan

ancient crystal Dec 25, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

but who wants decent

#

you want something good if you're investing $300+

wicked hound Dec 25, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

If it goes on an okay sale it'd probably be worth buying cuz it'd be decently lower priced that Devil or Pulse

ancient crystal Dec 25, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

oh also a thing with my case

#

there's only enough room for a card that is as wide as the metal bracket

#

it can't be wider

#

because power supply encroaching on space

wicked hound Dec 25, 2019, 7:27 AM

#

well idk for blower AMD tbh cuz 💩 contact for die to cooler

obtuse pier Dec 25, 2019, 7:28 AM

#

Nitro +

wicked hound Dec 25, 2019, 7:28 AM

#

So even if the blower design is suppose to be theoretically better in that scenerio it probably wont be

ancient crystal Dec 25, 2019, 7:30 AM

#

so i must find something with 2-3 fans that is no wider than the bracket

#

this case

obtuse pier Dec 25, 2019, 7:31 AM

#

Powercolor Red dragon.

#

Possibly.

ancient crystal Dec 25, 2019, 7:34 AM

#

probably just get AMD blower 🙃

#

nvidya cards too expensive for my budget

obtuse pier Dec 25, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

Powercolor has a blower card also

ancient crystal Dec 25, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

yes

#

which is what i was thinking

#

because in terms of AMD, powercolor are the experts

obtuse pier Dec 25, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

Sapphire nitro plus is also a triple fan card that's only 2 slots.

#

God why is my phone doing that.

ancient crystal Dec 25, 2019, 7:39 AM

it's gotta be no wider than the bracket because it'll come into contact with the thing

i guess you can email customer service?

wicked hound Dec 25, 2019, 9:03 AM

#

@ancient crystal Take the XFX DD Ultra and remove the shroud? Think that'd be close to that height

#

same for Mech OC maybe. Tho some heatpipes come out the side a bit more than the bracket. Depends on what exactly is going on in that case as to whether that'll still work or not

#

Getting a bit pricy but there is also this Powercolor one

it is among the best

that and the powercolor red dragon and red devil

Should I get the dual fan or triple. I plan to flash the xt bios on it

ancient crystal Dec 25, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

oof

#

first: don't recommend flashing the BIOS

#

seconds: get the 3-fan red devil model because it has a 5700XT equivalent

#

bios flashing is all at your own risk and you could brick your card

woeful loom Dec 25, 2019, 7:11 PM

Ok

ancient crystal Dec 25, 2019, 7:11 PM

are either of these two good??

probably the second one i’d assume

sage mountain Dec 25, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

Don't expect to see any amazing cooler and thermal performance out of any of them tbh

#

Though u do save a buck, and will probably be fine if you don't overclock

lone pond Dec 25, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

i don’t plan on overclocking, but the second one does have a 1980 boost speed

#

or so it says

sage mountain Dec 25, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

Then I would go for that one

#

According to gamer nexus, all the aftermarket cards have similar performance

#

And there's really no use comparing the cards in terms of fps performance

#

So it's like at most a 1-2 frame difference

#

Just don't get a reference card unless you want a heater during the winter lol

lone pond Dec 25, 2019, 8:59 PM

sounds good, i think i’ll go with the second one, unless there are some nice doorcrashers i can’t resist tomorrow

Power Color for sure is the best but for 400 Pulse has no competition

I have FE 2060 super. It can get up to 75c while gaming. Seems a bit warm. Was looking at a graphics card fan for additional airflow. Not taking it apart but merely to put under or over to pull/ push air? Sound like it would work?

peak pasture Dec 25, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

It doesnt seem that high. Its higher than could be but. You can adjust your fan curves a bit in MSI Afterburner to ensure its not only just kicking up fans when temps get that high. It's possible your case just in general has bad airflow throughout it.

I would buy a 1080ti if you can get a used one very cheap left over from mining but, aside from that I wouldnt see an advantage to get one over a 2080 Super if you can afford one, price per perfomance and longetivity on the 2080S will be very noticable

I dont know what you plan to do with it, but you're better off going for half the ram, at a faster speed, for a cheaper price. Like 16gb 3600mhz CL16 ram. You don't really require 32GB of ram for really anything outside of some crazy workstation usage yet.

GPU is good, case is good, PSU seems a bit expensive but is good (I am not 100% on US prices), no idea about the monitor, and Razer products are very bad value.

But depends on settings

peak pasture Dec 26, 2019, 3:23 PM

Oh I didnt see it was both 1440p and 144hz

#

1440p OR 144hz, not both. Even a 2080TI wont give you 1440p fully at 144hz on AAA titles max settings

#

If you're playing smaller games like sea of thieves or games that run on potatoes like CS:Go then no issue I guess but. The most modern games wont make use of that monitor with that GPU.

sage mountain Dec 26, 2019, 3:25 PM

I would also recommend an m.2

#

Unless u already have one

#

Just cuz they're fairly cheap and no hassle

alpine wave Dec 26, 2019, 3:25 PM

Would a 1080p 144hz be fine

sage mountain Dec 26, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

Yes

peak pasture Dec 26, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

Yeah, 5700XT should handle most AAA titles at 100hz+ on medium to high settings 1080p. It's not a top tier graphics card but its noticably better than mid-range GPUs.
