i forgot the others.. i reverted to 19.12.1

ancient crystal
#

either way at 144Hz

#

like i can get close to 144fps in most games

stiff zodiac
#

you had 144hz monitor ?

gentle lagoon
#

man, I wish that chart had a 1080 on there for reference, I suppose it would probably end up between the 1660ti and the 2060

granite juniper
#

the 1070 ti is around 2060 levels, and a 1080 is like 5%ish ahead of the 1070 ti

vital zephyr
#

Oh lord the 980 isn’t even on the list

#

What the frick man

#

Oh yeah come to think of that

#

Should I have gotten a 1060 6gb rather then a 980?

tender mulch
#

980 is old tech..........

#

But the performance is about dead even

vital zephyr
#

Well I saved money so

#

Eh

#

It’s fine

zenith yoke
#

Gotta say I am LOVING my 1660 super.

#

Picked up the MSI gaming variant because why not?

steep bridge
#

I love my Nokia 3310

teal patrol
#

rx 580

spare relic
#

Nokia 3310 is the best graphics card

stiff zodiac
#

IBM creates best graphics card

#

but kinda bulky like size of a truck

maiden sun
#

Ok, so say I was going to purchase a 1070 ti, in this scenario I’d be looking for the best performing 1070 ti, would anyone happen to know which one that would be?

stiff zodiac
#

if you want higher clock @maiden sun
choose : GIGABYTE GTX 1070 Ti GAMING ,, Boost Core Clock: 1721 MHz

#

if you want best cooling : MSI GTX 1070 Ti DUKE

maiden sun
#

So what your saying is that the gigabyte will give me the Phattest Of frame rates?

stiff zodiac
#

dont buy EVGA GTX 1070 ti

maiden sun
#

Ok

stiff zodiac
#

coil whine issue and 235W tdp

#

normal 1070 ti is 180tdp is 180

maiden sun
#

Ok ok

#

What about a 1080 ti, if I had a couple more dollars?

tender mulch
#

LOL! Any time a manu OC's the core the TDP goes up.

#

The Gigabyte card will do 215W

stiff zodiac
#

the evga doesnt even had oc

#

and its alread 200+

#

1080 i dont know about it

#

my friends are buying mostly 1070 2070 xD non of my friends can afford when xx80 releases

tender mulch
#

SHould just get a 5600XT

maiden sun
#

Is the, ASUS Rog Strix 1080 ti any good?

tender mulch
#

Same price as used 1070 TI better performance

stiff zodiac
#

strix is overated xD but i dont know strix maybe bekora used one before

#

strix always makes gpu double its price

maiden sun
#

It says it has the best cooling of any 1080 ti but idk if that means the phattest frame rates.

stiff zodiac
#

on our country

#

so i have no idea what strix can do

#

thats with the new vbios

#

1080 ti still on top nice

#

a used on of those is great i guess xD

gray vapor
#

But not everyone would know how to patch the 5600 XT with the Vbios so really their performance is closer to the 1660 Ti instead

stiff zodiac
#

wait for another few months maybe

#

until new one comes

#

just like AF cpu

#

from 14 to 12nm fft

#

sad to those retailer xD rma increase to 90% hahahah

#

they should just release like 5600 xt Max Edition etc.. instead of late vbios.. the production cost of card and those memory should be tested if its stable on doing high clocks..

gray vapor
#

yes but again waiting a few months could still cripple them because people would then spend the 300$ for the 2060 Ko

stiff zodiac
#

xD

#

i registered on blade & soul

#

its says im not autorize

#

i dont know if because i dint check that newsletter.. its supposed to be optional.

mellow kiln
#

I've never been autorized either

stiff zodiac
#

not authorized gang xD

#

only big brain and big pp can play it 😦

gray vapor
#

guess i am the big brain then since i am playing it lol

stiff zodiac
#

xD

zenith merlin
#

Which one is better RX 5700 XT or 5600 XT

stiff zodiac
#

xD

gray vapor
#

2070 Super

abstract monolith
#

Icy the 5700xt is better but it’s more pricey

ancient crystal
#

2070 Super is even more pricey

#

if you've got money falling out of your ass then go on for the Super

spare relic
#

ass

#

hmm

#

this is new information

stiff zodiac
#

or you can use that 100$ to buy new ssd or ram instead of buying 2070 super

ancient crystal
#

yeah it's a better GPU but like

#

have you ever considered your personal needs instead of just getting a high end GPU

#

the most demanding thing i am likely to play is death stranding whenever that comes out

#

and control

#

so i think an RX 5600 XT should do just fine... or maybe an RX 5700

#

i'm playing 1080p so it's not a big deal

#

with VBIOS flash the 5600 XT is basically a 5700, a few frames away

stiff zodiac
#

yeah 1080p is fine for me too

ancient crystal
#

1080p 144Hz so the idea is i want a card that will play the vast majority of games at 1080p and close to 144fps if not there

stiff zodiac
#

agree

ancient crystal
#

note the vast majority of games are less demanding

#

oh i also have to buy a PS4 so i can play FFVII

#

what a waste

stiff zodiac
#

ps4 pro?

ancient crystal
#

we'll see

#

pro is kind of expensive

#

i want to afford the game too

#

the best display i have is 1080p

stiff zodiac
#

its 450$ here with ,,. last of us and god of war included games

#

are you not waiting for ps5?

ancient crystal
#

not waiting for PS5 no

#

there's like one game i really want

#

the FF7 remake

#

FF7 was the first playstation game i played on my own console when i was 14, i got it shortly after it came out along with my playstation

#

well actually i played tekken first

stiff zodiac
#

the pre order of ff7 is like 148$

ancient crystal
#

no that's for the deluxe edition

stiff zodiac
#

ow

ancient crystal
#

also you don't need to preorder anymore

#

you can just download games on PSN

#

you can preload it even

#

so that you can play it at midnight

stiff zodiac
#

ow

ancient crystal
#

i wonder why people go to the actual game store to buy games

#

when it's just gonna install on your HD anyway

spare relic
#

ye

ancient crystal
#

all my switch games are digital

#

i don't have switch online don't @ me

spare relic
#

rose tinted glasses that tell them that they can still use only a disk

ancient crystal
#

yeah

#

now granted

#

on PS4

#

it doesn't install 100% of the game

#

so you are saving a bit by getting a disc

#

but it's not that much savings

spare relic
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ancient crystal
#

on xbone it installs everything

#

as it should be really, those blu ray drives are pretty slow

spare relic
#

consoles shoulda had dual drive bays

ancient crystal
#

but hardly any games are using two discs

#

or do you mean two hard disk bays

spare relic
#

yee

light schooner
#

2070s gaming x trio best 2070s

brisk flame
#

Naw, consoles should have a disk changer system

#

Like some car radios

#

So you can put like 5 disks in the console lmao

spare relic
#

xd

#

I have a CD changer for like

#

6 or so CDs

light schooner
#

I think console should be more competitive in terms of fps

maiden sun
#

I highly doubt it.

#

They’d have to make it most likely more than 500$.

#

No way I’m paying more than that for 60fps

lone pond
#

haven't the consoles themselves generally been sold at a loss with software sales recouping the losses?

#

i don't see why it would be different with the ps5

#

at least ps4 and xb1 were, iirc

#

i fully expect it to be 2070s/5700xt performance at a baseline minimum

#

if it's actually going to natively render in 4k as opposed to upscaling like the ps4pro and xb1x, it's going to need at least that kidn of power

karmic solar
#

Is the 2080S going to be Overkill for AAA games (BFV, etc) at 1440p

lone pond
#

nope, good pairing

#

don't expect crazy ray tracing performance in games that do support it

#

but you should be able to crank most games at high/very high settings

#

i should quantify that by saying that's if you're on a high refresh monitor, if you're at 60hz it will be overkill

ancient crystal
#

looks like i'm gonna hold back my purchase of a GPU since i've just been playing my switch, maybe it'll give me more time to make a good decision

shadow venture
#

anyone know when the 3080 ti will be out

dense flicker
#

summer i think

shadow venture
#

hmmm so buying a 2080ti probably not a good idea

round mason
#

maybe the 3080ti will undercut 2080ti prices shrug

ancient crystal
#

the bottom one has two fans

#

it is suitable for cases that have more room

#

the top one is suitable primarily for cases with space issues

upbeat reef
#

Any apperent performance differences?

ancient crystal
#

should be none, except the one with the better cooler may achieve higher boost clocks

lone pond
#

Guys

#

Whats the best 2070 super model

#

Also hi

#

dense flicker
#

my dad has the strix 2070

#

temps have been good and i love the rgb and the design

#

i dont know if its the best, but i like it

lone pond
#

Coo

#

Thanks zack :)

dense flicker
#

n oproblem

#

no problem*

lone pond
#

maxi will spend on a gpu is 310 what should i get i run 1080p 144hz

#

my gtx 1060 3gb is getting old

tired swan
#

5600 XT

#

or 5700 but its not that much better so if you want to save some money id go with the 5600

stiff zodiac
#

but not all 5600xt is the same

#

they said its still depend on vrm design. even it has new vbios

ancient crystal
#

it depends on the RAM itself too

#

whether you get that 12Gbit or 14Gbit

#

like the red dragon you keep 12Gbit with new vbios but you get raised clocks on the GPU itself

#

so you get an 8% improvement

#

sapphire pulse vbios upgrade gets you 14Gbit and the raised GPU clocks

#

so you get like a 12% improvement

#

it's a tiny difference but it makes a difference in frames

#

i'd rather the sapphire pulse (but it's out of stock) over the red dragon but that's not likely gonna happen

#

but if you can, get sapphire pulse RX 5600 because it's the best currently

#

so much that AMD didn't allow reviewers to review any RX 5600 XTs but the sapphire pulse at launch

#

gamersnexus got the red dragon and determined the improvement with that afterward

stiff zodiac
#

yup

ancient crystal
#

but unfortunately it wasn't on day one

stiff zodiac
#

whats the default clock again

ancient crystal
#

so people were left out of the loop, and everyone just bought the pulse

#

14something

#

1650 or something boost

stiff zodiac
#

now boost is base?

ancient crystal
#

no it improves clocks but not quite that much i don't think

stiff zodiac
#

ow 1375 is the original and boost is 1,620MHz
new one is 1420 and boost 1,750MHz

#
  • new tdp i guess.
#
  • aggressive fan curve
ancient crystal
#

my desire to buy a GPU is almost outweighing my desire to buy a bunch of clothes, but i am lacking

lone pond
#

yes

#

only true gamers understand

ancient crystal
#

you know you're a turbonerd when you'll put a GPU before clothing because "it'll last another month"

lone pond
#

lmao

#

well if you already have clothes

#

you don't need a closet full of clothes like a 15 year old girl

ancient crystal
#

well actually

#

this is me we're talking about

lone pond
#

yes

#

hmm what gpu do you want

ancient crystal
#

i want to get an RX 5600 XT (I am aware of vbios issues and how to correct them)

lone pond
#

oh

#

if you're aware of how to correct them then go with it

ancient crystal
#

this month or next month, probably next month because our nonexistent spring and then summer is coming starting march

#

montana is a hell of a state

lone pond
#

5700 xt prices will go down

ancient crystal
#

prob not

#

it's way more powerful

#

so it's not in any danger of being supplanted by the 5600 XT

lone pond
#

ohk

ancient crystal
#

the 5700 could possibly go down

#

as it's very very close

#

once the vbios update is applied

lone pond
#

the 5600 xt has 2060 performance

#

not worth it

dawn elbow
#

finally got my tax return and ordered my parts so now just playing the waiting game tell they get here lol

ancient crystal
#

isn't that wonderful

lone pond
#

yes

dawn elbow
#

i cant wait lol will be my first build ever but it will be something that i did myself and take pride in it

ancient crystal
#

that's why i order from amazon for the prime, i would prefer newegg but newegg premier is a little more focused on computer parts instead of the store that sells all things

lone pond
#

no wegg uk

ancient crystal
#

phoenix you're gonna bomb cable management and everyone is gonna give you hell about it, people still do it to me and i've been building PCs forever

#

just never been the best manager of cables

dawn elbow
#

right i have a general idea on cable managment but as long as it all fits that is what matters to me lol

ancient crystal
#

cable management to me is "make sure the airflow is not disrupted"

#

that's it

lone pond
#

yes

#

it's not just aesthetics

dawn elbow
#

yeah

ancient crystal
#

the point is to keep airflow going, as long as you do that you'll be fine

lone pond
#

if you have a case like an o11 dynamic then aesthetics matter because you would probably use an aio

dawn elbow
#

yeah i will have to make sure my fans are going the right way lol i have a raidmax gama case

ancient crystal
#

raidmax cases

lone pond
#

show pls

ancient crystal
#

i used to have one of those

#

they used to look like spaceships

lone pond
#

lmao

dawn elbow
ancient crystal
#

IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A RAIDMAX

lone pond
#

not bad airflow

#

oh.

dawn elbow
#

i love the tempered glass look on cases and it was only 70 dollars when i got it

ancient crystal
#

like that case is going to unfold into a gundam or something

#

it's a good case

dawn elbow
#

its alot better then the one i was originally got lol

ancient crystal
#

raidmax is actually historically one of the better brands, they just got behind for a while

dawn elbow
#

the white one is the one i have

ancient crystal
#

you're going to space

#

that is going to become a robot

dawn elbow
#

and its empty and sitting around might put all my old parts in it and sell it for cheap to someone who wants to game

#

lmao

ancient crystal
#

another good case

#

one characteristic of raidmax cases

#

is that side fan

#

i guess they stopped with that now

#

because of the tempered glass

dawn elbow
#

yeah but that is alright i am going to probably have like 4 or maybe 5 fans in the new one

lone pond
ancient crystal
#

i want an ITX case with tempered glass but my define nano S is just fine

#

it looks good to me, that's a lian-li case isn't it?

lone pond
#

yah

#

the o11 dynamic

ancient crystal
#

oh now i see the logo

#

it looks fantastic to me, i'd love building in that

lone pond
#

should i get a lancool II or an o11 dynamic

ancient crystal
#

lots of cable routing options

#

that o11 dynamic just looks really great to me

#

i'll have to look up hte lancool

lone pond
#

love it having alot of space without the U L T R A W I D E corsair style

ancient crystal
#

lancool looks like it's got a lot more confusion

#

in terms of where everything goes

#

it has potential to be a lot more exciting looking

#

in the end

#

i'd still get the o11 myself

#

it just looks so dead simple and like there's a ton of options for cooling

#

well actually there appears to be one main one

#

intake on the rad, and then exhaust from the rear

#

is there space for intake up top?

#

yeah looks like it

#

so the rad or the intake fans can sit at the top or the side just depending on what you want

#

but you definitely need some intake besides the rad (which should ideally be pushing out)

stiff zodiac
#

should i buy switch pro or just regular switch?

ancient crystal
#

there's no switch pro yet

#

if you're interested i'd wait to see if nintendo even releases it

#

i have yet to find a patent filing for such a thing and i've been looking at Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s patents for a considerable amount of time

#

if there is one i will of course have to buy it because i love my switch

#

i'd love to see my switch games in 1080p60

#

which will be a huge upgrade for most of them

#

Ys VIII is one of my favorite RPGs for the console (it's also on PC but I prefer playing the Switch version because I got it much earlier)

#

i'd love to see that in 1080p60, it runs about 900p30 right now

river wadi
#

So I am planning on upgrading my pc and I was wondering if an rx 580 would work with a 430 watt psu

spice prawn
#

it is a hungry card

#

i would not recommend it unless you have a VERY high quality psu with very specific choices in the other components

#

@river wadi see above :)

gray vapor
#

@river wadi What is the rest of your parts in the system you have now?

river wadi
#

Ryzen 5 2600x
Gtx n550 ti
16gb ram
1 terabyte mechanical hardrive

gray vapor
#

Would need at least 550w then

river wadi
#

So 500 watt won't work

gray vapor
#

It is always better to go higher than what is recommended i find just cause of what ever else you might do in the future

#

my system could do fine with 500w but i went up to using 600w

#

cause even i don't know what i might upgrade into the future

river wadi
#

Thanks for the help

gray vapor
#

np

maiden sun
#

I mean

#

I have a 1050, rx 580, 2600 and it has 400w

gray vapor
#

Best never to risk anything

lone pond
#

Any good combos for the ryzen 5 2600? I wanna go for the 3600 but apparently the motherboard doesn't work unless u update the bios but imma upgrade once I get some money.

spice prawn
#

if you have not bought the mainboard already, ask the seller what bios version is on the board they are selling.

lone pond
#

O ok I'll definitely do that thanks

spice prawn
#

you are very welcome :)

#

it is unlikely that a vendor has stock (of the mainboard) that is so old that it ships with a bios that doesnt support 3rd gen, but do yourself the favour and ask

lone pond
#

Will do

cyan vault
#

Someone just told me a 2080ti cant do 1440p 144hz ultra

#

Wow

lone pond
#

well, yes and no

#

rdr2, metro exodus, lots of other AAA titles it won't get near 144fps on ultra settings

granite juniper
#

but like cs:go gets wayyyy more

stoic folio
#

Is this a real 1070 gtx I got a Lenovo a prebuilt 3 year ago

dense flicker
#

yes

spice prawn
#

@cyan vault hopefully you actually thought about it before you made yourself look silly?

stoic folio
#

Ya I have about 30iq but is though

brisk flame
#

give him a break, also, it discord, no one cares about looking silly lmao

#

This isn't frickin LinkedIn for crying out loud

wicked hound
#

I mean if you dont do a lot of research but just keep hearing that a 2070S/5700XT is a good 1440 @ 144 card, you'd assume the 2080Ti is "perfect"

lone pond
#

It's currently the "best" option

#

But people's expectations are sometimes unrealistic

#

A 5700xt/2070s is a good 1440 card but like with everything there are caveats

spice prawn
#

a 1440p card and a 1440p@144hz is a different beast

karmic solar
#

A 2070S should be able to pull off 144hz

#

But it depends on the game

teal bluff
#

as a 2070 owner with 1440p i can confirm that yes, it is a beast of a card for 144 @ 1440

#

and plus RTX its so freakin sweet

wicked hound
#

As a 1080Ti owner I can say that the 2070S is an adequate 1440 @ 120Hz card

ancient crystal
#

i'm buying for 1080p@144Hz because that's my monitor

#

i feel like 1080p@144Hz is a much lower bar

#

in terms of the GPU you'll need

#

because most of your run of the mill games my current GPU will get over 100fps

#

was playing bloodstained and it barely dropped below 144, those kinds of games, indie games and games intended for mass consumption

#

AAA games from a year or two ago

#

so it doesn't take much

mighty island
#

i was surprised that an undervolted/overclocked 1080ti struggles to keep up with a stock R5 3600X

#

i thought it would be the other way around

#

it's not even close lol

#

R5 3600X runs circles around 1080Ti

lone pond
#

You're going to be CPU bound at 1080 resolution with that card, every time

#

What’s a good 200-300$ graphics card

cyan vault
#

2060 KO

#

5600 XT

stiff zodiac
#

❤️

mighty island
#

@lone pond that says gpu bound tho

vague surge
#

2060 super if you can stretch your budget or just get the 2060 regular one, KO only if you want it for work. Not good for gaming non KO is better for gaming at same price range

spice prawn
#

@vague surge not quite right. non-KO is the same as the KO except for professional workload. game performance is the same.

vague surge
#

@spice prawn not the same performance results for different sources says differently

spice prawn
#

look at GN

#

they actually know how to test things.

vague surge
#

Linus wan show

#

Last one

spice prawn
#

look at GN.

#

random comments made on a variety show with a tech interest is not the same as a review of it.

#

there is only 1 variant of the KO card (so far)

vague surge
#

You new ? Because linus is the biggest if not one of the biggest ( actual) tech channel

#

And GN were at LTX 2019

spice prawn
#

no, i have only been doing this longer than linus, so no.

vague surge
#

Wan is not tech interest show, you real salty MA man

spice prawn
#

personal jabs like that one really does show a lot more about you than it does me.

#

by all means, do continue.

vague surge
#

No it just shows you without manners

spice prawn
#

yes, clearly. Because i had to lean on personal jabs.

vague surge
#

M done talking to you, not trying to get banned for arguing with bums

#

GGs

spice prawn
#

a lot of noise from you, yet, there is nothing that counters my point about the KO. fact over fiction.

fallen schooner
#

rofl what.

lone pond
#

yes i will trust some random dude on a discord with zero sources when other, reliable sources have data to back up their claims

lone pond
#

Can anyone refer me to what channel it would be best to talk about RAM in? I have a PC but I'm new to the platform.

#

Thanks.

frigid sapphire
#

so while idle my gpu is at 77% usage

#

doing video encoding

#

what is that?

spice prawn
#

@frigid sapphire got any browsers with ads open?

#

and/or video content in general in those browsers

frigid sapphire
#

nothing currently

#

and i have adblockers anyways

#

:c

spice prawn
#

your task manager can show what is grabbing the gpu time

frigid sapphire
#

radeon settings: host service

spice prawn
#

if a reboot doesnt fix it, reinstall drivers

frigid sapphire
#

ill give that a try

spice prawn
#

something has probably gone wrong somewhere.

frigid sapphire
#

brb

#

its at 40% now

spice prawn
#

shrugs

frigid sapphire
#

:v

spice prawn
#

you got hardware accelleration turned on for discord?

frigid sapphire
#

no idea

spice prawn
#

settings -> appearance -> number 2 from the bottom

#

try and disable that and then restart discord

frigid sapphire
#

yees

#

there is a driver update

#

ima download it real quick

#

ok

#

fixed it

#

it was re live

spice prawn
#

k

frigid sapphire
#

turned it off and it got fixed

#

🙂

#

i also oc my monitor

stiff zodiac
#

i hope you dint get flicker or blackscreen

lone pond
#

ight people

#

help me out

#

i need a cheap low profile 4gb card

ancient crystal
#

define cheap

#

by low profile do you mean with a low profile bracket?

lone pond
#

yea with low profile and under 100$

ancient crystal
#

under $100 😄

#

but it's the only one to meet your criteria

lone pond
#

ebay aswell?

ancient crystal
#

let me search ebay, i'll be right back

#

no luck

#

that's what you will get for under $100

#

especially if you need low profile

#

the thing about low profile is that you find mostly low end cards that are low profile, you can get up to a gtx 1650 low profile but it'll cost you $150-160

#

that under $100 requirement is what's preventing me from giving you something better

wicked hound
#

just keep the side panel off and use a standard GPU size

#

that or increase budget

lone pond
#

2or jsut take the brcaket off and put the card in and put thepanel back on

wicked hound
#

The PCB of the card being standard size I mean

#

like getting a RX 480 for $90

spice prawn
#

IF you are looking for a LP card. look at the bottom of any generations offerings.

#

there will be cards that come with a LP bracket there. but they might not be listed as being LP cards

#

the giveaway is the cabled vga connector on them

#

that is an example of what you could be looking for @lone pond

ancient crystal
#

yeah, i suggested a GT1030

#

you can get low profile board power cards up to like 1650

#

but it won't meet the $$ requirement

Part I upgraded to
Cpu: Amd Phenom ii x6 1090t to Amd ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard: Asus M5a97 le r2.0 to Gigabyte A320m-s2h
Ram: Ddr4 16 Gb Geil 3200Mhz
Graphics Card: Powercolor 4gb Rx 480
Psu: 600 Watt 80+ Bronze Ocz Technology

Ever since i've upgraded to the new board, cpu and ram, my graphics card's coil whine is louder than before my upgrade. The power supply would also make some weird noises. .
I wanna know why this is happening

autumn lagoon
#

What do you guys think is a good gpu Max price of like $700ish or so. This will be my first build. Have pretty much everything but gpu and a case.

brisk flame
#

700 for GPU and case?

autumn lagoon
#

Nah just gpu

devout pawn
#

what cpu do you have? and do you plan on streaming? @autumn lagoon

brisk flame
#

I mean, if your ok with dropping 700 on a GPU, the only one in that price range is the 2080 super

#

If you wanted to save money tho, there are cheaper options that should work just fine.

autumn lagoon
#

I bought Ryzen 3900x and probably not gonna be streaming. With a good amount of 2080 out I just don't know which one to get

brisk flame
#

Ok then, the 2080 super it is

#

EVGA makes one that's good enough for cheap

#

It's a little under 700

ancient crystal
#

amazon has the sapphire pulse RX 5600 XT

#

that's the one that you can pretty much guarantee 14Gbit/sec memory bandwidth after new VBIOS

#

many of the cards only will uplift the GPU clock

#

because of poor VRM or memory chip quality

vague surge
#

@spice prawn I doubt you watched the GN video because guess what I said and this fella in Your suggested video said

#

@spice prawn gaming performance remains same and only workstation applications gets gains, can you point out to the part where host said gaming performance increases by 40 percent I would like to know

#

@lone pond here’s the screenshot you if you never seen the video as well

#

@spice prawn so all along you were the one making noises without any knowledge taking shots at LTT without knowing what anyone said ...

wicked hound
#

really?

#

"gaming performance remains same and only workstation applications gets gains, can you point out to the part where host said gaming performance increases by 40 percent I would like to know"

#

Naed didnt even say that as he literally said "game performance is the same"

#

But I guess Naed is wrong and you are right despite you both saying the exact same thing

#

Also no disrespect to LTT, but they arent really that great for actual info. Actually Hardcore Overclocking, der8auer, GN, probs a few others, are the people who know their stuff and actually give detailed info

ooh fighting

#

Kids no fighting

spice prawn
abstract monolith
#

Guys it’s not that big of a problem stop fighting

vague surge
#

@spice prawn Video said same thing I said so what’s the point in taking shots at me ?

#

@spice prawn you can read, right?

spice prawn
#

@vague surge what you think/remember that you said. And what you actually typed are at odds. Fact over fiction.

vague surge
#

@spice prawn you’re fact over fiction

#

@spice prawn thinking you’re all high and mighty but you not 🤣

spice prawn
#

@abstract monolith it is not a fight, far from it.

vague surge
#

Nope not a fight

fallen schooner
#

an annoying disagreement

#

enough is enough.

vague surge
#

Cool

shadow venture
#

anyone know if a msi 2080ti gaming x trio will fit in a 680x?

spice prawn
#

card is 327mm.

abstract monolith
#

I’m probably wrong but I think it might fit in but really snug

spice prawn
#

clearance is 330mm

shadow venture
#

oof thats tight

spice prawn
#

technically it will fit. it is not something i would be comfortable with recommending.

#

ideally IF you are going to order those 2 parts. Order them from the same vendor and ask them

#

then you have added support in a potential return IF it doesnt fit.

shadow venture
#

already own the case was planning on upgrading gpu

spice prawn
#

look for reviews of the specific card you want.

#

some of them do actual measurements of things

#

because MSI would not be the first vendor to "forget" to measure from the tip of the shroud

shadow venture
spice prawn
#

that they got it together is enough for me

shadow venture
#

lol

spice prawn
#

and i dont see a mallet anywhere

ancient crystal
#

that case is really close to that one Lian-Li case except it has a neat PCIe riser and a place for your GPU bracket to go, corsair wins

fallen schooner
#

I just dont like how close the gpu is to the glass.

#

almost pressing against it.

nocturne dagger
#

Temps are gonna be awful for the gpu

fallen schooner
#

for waterblocked I see it as ok.

ancient crystal
#

my GPU doesn't have much more room

#

my next one will likely be even less effectively cooled

fallen schooner
#

you're headed the wrong way Anni

#

lol

#

you want better cooled! 😄

ancient crystal
#

it's just the cramped space

#

the pulse is known to give 14Gbit/sec results on memory BW

#

when it's been flashed to the new VBIOS

#

i likely won't need to worry about flashing because i'm getting my GPU later

glossy jetty
#

hey i was wondering if the GTX 1070 ti is better or worse than 2060 6gb

violet dock
#

1070 ti is better. Just slightly in raw performance. 2060 super beats it easily

glossy jetty
#

Okay thank you. The other chat I went into to ask the same question but replied with “Idk both are shit”. Very helpful from a group of people talking about weebs in a tech channel.

spice prawn
#

@glossy jetty hopefully that was not in a channel on this server?

glossy jetty
#

No no no hahahha a reddit channel Hahahahahah

spice prawn
#

okay :)

glossy jetty
#

I like this discord for everything other than it won’t let me post my altered system again because I slightly posted it before

spice prawn
#

hm?

#

you mean the pcpartpicker link?

glossy jetty
#

No hahahaha a reddit PC build discord

#

Build a PC it’s called

spice prawn
#

ah

quasi parcel
#

what should i get rtx 2070s or gtx 1080ti

tired swan
#

I would say 2070s

#

They seem pretty similar but I dont think the 1000 series is getting driver updates and such

lone pond
#

Should I wait for Ampere GPUs to drop?

tired swan
#

probaly gonna be a while

#

heard they wont be coming until summer at the earliest

#

but its all just speculation so it could be earlier it could be later

lucid whale
#

why would you say teh 1000 series isnt getting driver updates? theyre still very new cards

tired swan
#

idk i just thought they werent

#

they arent getting produced anymore so i just thought they werent being supported

lone pond
#

they use the same drivers

#

they still release updates for like, kepler (6xx) gpus, or i should say the driver updates still cover cards that old

#

ever since they switched to cuda cores

sacred cairn
#

hello, I am looking at building my first ever gaming pc. I am needing some advice please. I am planning on using the x570 pro gaming wifi motherboard and the radeon 3600 cpu.

Now, I am wanting the saphire 5600xt but I am unsure of which one to order? Can you help please.

lone pond
#

i would get a cheaper motherboard and put the difference towards a 5700xt

sacred cairn
#

I thought the x570 pro wifi itx was the best board? What would you suggest? Thabkyou.

lone pond
#

the only real reason to get x570 is if you need pcie4

sacred cairn
#

The spec on the 5600 is good?

lone pond
#

i mean

#

you would gain a lot by going to a 5700xt or other better gpu

#

do you need wifi?

sacred cairn
#

No but it does have other features doesnt it

lone pond
#

only real big difference between x470 and x570 chipsets is pcie4 on x570

#

which unless you're using a pcie4 nvme ssd (which i can't imagine you are) you're just spending money on stuff you're not using

#

what monitor are you using? i guess that is what makes the upgrade to a 5700xt worthwhile

sacred cairn
#

No idea on monitor yet. I am just wanting to spend about a £1000 and build a decent pc

#

I wont have a monitor that's amazing to warrant a crazy graphics card to be honest as it's for working abroad.

#

I also need the motherboard to have the bios ready for the 3600x out the box

lone pond
#

most x470 boards that can support 3rd gen should be shipping out with the 3rd gen bios but that's not a guarantee

#

as the old non-3rd gen bioses should have been phased out

#

i mean if you don't really plan on gaming much at all, you can get away with a lesser video card

#

perhaps even an APU

sacred cairn
#

No it will be for purely gaming

lone pond
#

lol, ok

sacred cairn
#

Thus is overkill isnt it

lone pond
#

yeah then i think the upgrade to the 5700xt is worthwhile

#

a 5600xt is bordering on entry level, hardly overkill

sacred cairn
#

Okay so 3600 x, pro wifi or maybe another and the 5700xt

lone pond
#

yea i think the tuf boards are better on a budget, the wifi models are ~$200 usd

#

and the non-wifi is almost $100 usd cheaper than the x570 wifi pro

sacred cairn
#

Yh wife pro is about 220 on amazon

#

That's a bargain then! And should have new bios?

lone pond
#

yes anything x570 will run 3rd gen out the box

sacred cairn
#

So which tuf model you suggest mate

lone pond
#

$164 usd non-wifi model

#

i think with that, you can swap the 5600 out for a 5700xt and get a little more horsepower out of it for about the same cost

#

but who knows about what it costs in europe

coarse bison
#

Ok, so there's something I wanted talk about
So a seller had an auction for an RTX 2080 Ti with this listing
https://www.ebay.com/itm/GIGABYTE-NVIDIA-RTX-2080-TI-GAMING-OC-11GB-GDDR6-GRAPHICS-CARD-/143508464295
It's in new condition, according to the listing
Apparently the reason he was trying to sell it a second time was because the person who won the auction never paid for it.
He messaged me (and presumably other bidders) if I was willing to take the card for $380 USD
I responded, I said I would love to get it.
He requested my PayPal email for an invoice, and that made me somewhat skeptical about it.
I gave him my email, but I want to know if anything fishy is going on here.
I didn't pay yet, so nothing has happened yet.

granite juniper
#

it sold for 910 🤨

coarse bison
#

yeah, that's the thing...

#

i found that a bit weird

granite juniper
#

then somebody’s getting scammed if it’s already paid for

coarse bison
#

is there a way to verify if the card was paid for or not?

#

from the winning bidder

granite juniper
#

nope

coarse bison
#

hmm :/

#

that does make me wonder a bit though
i checked the winner, and even though i can't read their username,
they have a 0% positive rating next to them

#

i wonder if that matters

#

i'm still pretty new to ebay, so i dont know a lot of stuff lmao

brisk flame
#

Giving someone your PayPal email for a PayPal invoice is legitimate.

#

Did you ever receive an invoice??

#

You definitely don't want to purchase the card through a PayPal invoice tho, because it pulls eBay out of the picture, and you lose the ability to file a claim, and eBay's money back guarantee

#

Just bid on the card, if someone messages you trying to get you to buy the card without going through eBay, it's against eBay's tos, and is most likely a scam.

#

Do not pay him through the invoice

coarse bison
#

kk, that's what i assumed lmao

#

thank you

brisk flame
#

Ur welcome

coarse bison
#

i wonder if i could just have him make a new listing on ebay and i can purchase it that way

brisk flame
#

Well, the listing ended, soooo

#

Someone is listed as paying for it, if they don't pay, it will be relisted

coarse bison
#

ah kk

brisk flame
#

Don't count on getting this one tho, keep looking

coarse bison
#

kk

#

im not getting it
but i did have a question about something else i see quite often

#

lots of people sell their gpus as "for parts / not working" and i assume people bid on it or buy it because they want to try to get it working

brisk flame
#

Most of the time, graphics cards are real easy to repair, so there's a decent chance a capable person can buy a bunch of them at a low price and turn a profit

#

I have friends who repair CRTs, power supplies, motherboards, and occasionally a graphics card on the component level

lone pond
#

how would i go about repairing a 1080ti that artifacts if it goes under load and even when underclocked?

fallen schooner
#

you don't

#

bad vram most likely

#

had that happen to a 1080 gaming X

#

you can tear it down to the bare pcb, and try the bake method in an oven, but then that is still only temporary, if at all.

lone pond
#

should i get rx 5600xt becouse you can overclock it and get 5700 performece

median pagoda
#

5700 is worse than 5700xt

#

Are you thinking the other way around?

nocturne dagger
#

You can't overclock the 5600xt to 5700 performance jayztwocents did a video on that

#

@lone pond the 2060 is your best bet

lone pond
#

why do you say that

#

the 5600xt is cheaper

spice prawn
#

@lone pond by that logic you should buy a 50 usd card

#

on a more serious note: the choice of what card to buy is very much dependant on your budget.

lone pond
#

no what im saying is the 5600xt and rtx 2060 are equal most of the time but the 5600xt is cheaper

spice prawn
#

re: performance: no.

lone pond
#

my budget is about 320$

spice prawn
#

the most performance (when comparing) stock 2060 and stock 5600xt. Is the stock 2060

#

yes, it costs more.

#

it is up to you IF you want to pay that amount for that performance.

nocturne dagger
#

@spice prawn thanks for the responses for me lol stole the words right after my mouth

spice prawn
#

@nocturne dagger you are welcome :)

vital depot
sharp aurora
#

is the founders edition 2060 any good

#

being sub 300 dollars i didnt know

tired swan
#

do you plan on streaming?

sharp aurora
#

not really

tired swan
#

i would go for the 5700 then if you can

sharp aurora
#

i would prefer a 20 series card

tired swan
#

uhh ok

#

looks like the fe is pretty good but idk for sure

abstract monolith
#

why 2060 founders?

cyan vault
#

A 5700XT will be able to do 1080p 144hz on non-triple a games correct?

#

And its near 2070 super performance, but with worse drivers and other little problems?

urban depot
#

what is the difference between the 2080 and 2080 super because they are the same price

wet temple
#

2080 super is an upgraded version, and typically it's more expensive

#

more cores, higher clock

#

faster memory

#

better bandwidth too

fallow condor
#

hello

urban depot
#

but the 2080 can also have the same thing

fallow condor
#

im trying to decide on a 2060 around 300 but just cant pick one

#

any suggestions

spice prawn
#

@urban depot the 2080 has been EOL'ed

#

first table on that page

#

the 2080 super is better than the 2080 in all respect

urban depot
#

what is eol'ed

spice prawn
#

end of lined

#

it has been discontinued

#

what you see at retailers are the last of them

#

and they are not worth buying unless they are a fair deal cheaper

#

and/or you dont have the budget

urban depot
#

okay

#

do I have to get cooler paste for the cpu @spice prawn

spice prawn
#

no

#

comes with the cooler

#

everything you need is in the list i made you

urban depot
#

okay one question

#

can 2 people play on 1 pc

spice prawn
#

depends on the game

urban depot
#

I mean if I have 2 monitors and I play fortnite and the other monitor plays overwatch can that be possible

#

on 1 pc

#

???

spice prawn
#

yes, but as things stand right now. there is no way i am talking about it in detail.

urban depot
#

?

spice prawn
#

you will lean on it as an excuse to not commit

#

the machine is plenty powerful for it.

urban depot
#

so it can handle it

spice prawn
#

either you commit or you dont.

#

yes, technically.

urban depot
#

so if i will play with my brother fortnite and we get 2 monitors and both play at the same time it will work

#

2 seperate ones

spice prawn
#

technically it can work.

urban depot
#

oka

#

y

wicked hound
#

Overpriced

#

no 2060 should be more then $330

#

At that price get a 5700 if you dont need streaming. If you do then get a cheaper 2060

found a 2070 super new for 400 on ebay

should i snatch?

#

LMAO

#

nevermind

#

88 dollars for shipping

wicked hound
#

ultrawide or widescreen? 60Hz, 100Hz/120Hz, 144Hz?

#

5700 with BIOS flash, 5700XT, 2070S
Those or better

#

for pretty high settings

#

if going mid settings can go lower

#

I mean if you arent streaming 5700XT is the better buy, dont need to waste money

#

Ye, then 2070S

obtuse elbow
#

i stream and game at max setting with EVGA FTW3 2080 TI. For me it was worth saving

ancient crystal
#

Hei the 5700 with bios flash you just mean flashing with the corresponding XT BIOS right?

#

better clocks, better RAM clocks

verbal cairn
#

What cheapest GPU could handle 144hz on high-very high settings (not ultra) in Rainbow Six Siege ?

#

RX 580 ?

1650S ?

#

Probably

#

R6 isnt that demanding

verbal cairn
#

Alright

cyan vault
#

Just search up rx 580 benchmarks for r6

solid igloo
#

Is the 1650 good?

spice prawn
#

compared to something slower? yes

#

compared to something faster? no

#

in other words: some context would be nice if you want help :)

tired swan
#

@solid igloo I would either go with the rx 570 or the 1650 super

#

The non super isnt great value when the 570 is about the same performance for only 110

wicked hound
#

@ancient crystal yes

magic pebble
#

certain games the 1650 super is really good at and can handily beat a rx580. The normal 1650 cant really compete with either of the others

#

and the super includes the new nvenc encoder which can be nice for streamers.

tame iris
#

Should i go with a 1660 ti or a 2060

spice prawn
#

if the choice is between those two and you have the budget for either

#

the 2060 is the one to go with

tame iris
#

Ok

#

Thanks

just bought the rx 5700xt. thoughts?

slim solstice
#

need some help for anybody

#

that can help*

tired swan
#

What you need @slim solstice

#

@ @lone pond the 5700xt I think is pretty good for its price. It is straddled by the 2070 and the 2070 S for like $100 less

slim solstice
#

Im running a GTX 960 and ive had it for a solid couple years and i think either it or my CPU is dying on me

#

my computer is quite low tier but its chugging through running the games i need it to

#

but i run all games on low settings

#

my gpu is getting hotter than usual, getting loud and not running games like it used too

lone pond
#

sounds like you need some canned air

tired swan
#

You could reapply thermal paste or have you cleaned it out recently?

#

Ya what wubs said

#

Also games are just getting more demanding so if you get newer games they could just be more demanding

slim solstice
#

i cleaned it a couple hours ago and shut it off for awhile

#

i have a corsair water cooler on my cpu and it is brand new basically

#

it was running perfectly fine yesterday and i frequently keep my computer clean

tired swan
#

Ok so this started yesterday?

slim solstice
#

started this morning when i started up SFV

tired swan
#

Hmm

slim solstice
#

my motherboard is more than 11 years old lmfao

and sadly an upgrade is out of the question, i dont have money right now as i am a struggling higschool student lmao

just maybe looking for some temporary fixes

Anyone know why I put a evga 2070 super in my msi x370 and it really bogged down my pc to the point I cant use it.. put my vega 64 back in and no problems.

I gave the card to my tech friend so see if it's just doa

tired swan
#

Windows might have turned on power saving or something, really not sure @slim solstice

I would switch slots but yet again, my motherboard is 11+ years old an only has one PCIE

shadow storm
#

I'll check back later that guy needs more help than me

slim solstice
#

Ezie what cpu are you running?

shadow storm
#

Ryzen 2600x

slim solstice
#

ok that marks out what i was thinking

tired swan
#

Nah all good I just dont know what to do about your problem

shadow storm
#

I think this card is just doa

slim solstice
#

Its quite a sad day, this pc has run me for a long time and i think its finally on its last legs

slim solstice
#

oops

#

Its a bad pc but i made her work real hard

shadow storm
#

How old is your psu @slim solstice

tired swan
#

Well if it's only a couple years old I cant imagine things are going out

slim solstice
#

quite new, i know its corsair is all

shadow storm
#

Maybe its starving for power

slim solstice
#

Yeah it may be a bit older than that, oldest is 4 years it could be

#

Its a 750 watt is what im almost sure of

#

750 or higher is all i knpw

shadow storm
#

Should be food there then

slim solstice
#

wasnt my choice of PSU

#

also my CPU is garbage, AMD A8-6500

shadow storm
#

Seems like upgrades are in the near future ;)

slim solstice
#

I have a strange combination of parts

#

i wish but being a struggling highschool student isnt the greatest, upgrades are out of the question for another few years in all honesty

shadow storm
#

Ask mom :P say you "need" parts so you can do your homework

slim solstice
#

Lmao

#

if that worked i wouldve done it already, family is all low on money and i dont have enough time to work any jobs around here

#

Dream was to be a Voice Actor but i cant do that without a good pc and mic

shadow storm
#

The life stuggle.. I've been there

slim solstice
#

Hits tough, loved this pc and i hate to see her go

cold stream
#

is that from Kengan Ashura

slim solstice
#

Yessir

cold stream
#

good intro

slim solstice
#

110%

shadow storm
#

Look for used stuff on Letgo, craigslist, offer up

slim solstice
#

I have but even if i did my pricerange would only be around 50 dollars lmao

shadow storm
#

Are you amd or intel?

#

Nvm lol

slim solstice
#

AMD right now but i dont care as long as it works for me lol

shadow storm
#

I've seen so CHEAP parts on offer up and letgo

#

And you can hagle

slim solstice
#

Well i will definitely will take a look

cold stream
shadow storm
#

I spent 520 on a rtx 2070 super and it dont work... my stress level is through the roof

cold stream
#

oh god I could imagine

#

like when my $300 cpu got a pin broken off

#

🙃

shadow storm
#

This kinda stuff will cause cancer!! Lol

cold stream
#

the pin is still off btw

shadow storm
#

Lol

cold stream
#

I think I was lucky as one can be when it comes to that and it was a grounding pin

#

cuz I'm currently using said cpu

shadow storm
#

Are your cores all working?

#

Over heating?

cold stream
#

temps are really good actually

tired swan
#

@slim solstice have you touched your gpu before it started going slow?

cold stream
#

only weirdness I've had is that the temps don't show up in cpuid

#

but they do show up in hwinfo

shadow storm
#

Weird

cold stream
#

it's staying in the low 60s under load

shadow storm
#

Lucky man

cold stream
#

even though it's just stock cooler

#

guess it's cool in here, idk

shadow storm
#

I got some weird cooler.. I dont even know how to spell it

#

Rjyct

#

Something like that lol

#

I only play modern warfare and path of exile

#

Currently

#

Well if anyone has any ideas of what to do next or maybe something wrong hit me up please I've exhausted my options that I know of but installing a gpu isnt that complicated..

slim solstice
#

No, it’s never been over locked or anything

#

Over clocked*

tired swan
#

I mean like physically touched it

#

Like grabbed it

#

Also @shadow storm maybe it isnt recognizing the gpu and using igpu if your cpu has that

shadow storm
#

I took the card out, plugged the hdmi into the mobo and I didnt get any video signal

cold stream
#

What cpu

shadow storm
#

2600x

tired swan
#

Oh

cold stream
#

Does that even have integrated graphics

tired swan
#

No

shadow storm
#

I dont think so

cold stream
#

There's your problem

shadow storm
#

The vega 64 works great

tired swan
#

No his problem is that his new gpu isnt performing as expected

shadow storm
#

Really

#

It's a year old

cold stream
#

Wait what did I miss here

#

How is what not performing

shadow storm
#

2070 super bogs down computer and eventually black screens

cold stream
#

Oo...

shadow storm
#

With hdmi cable I can keep it from black screen

#

Unbearable to use tho

cold stream
#

How are it's temperatures

shadow storm
#

Temps are great

cold stream
#

Hmm

#

Black screen...

shadow storm
#

I used heavenward and its putting out 17 frames..

cold stream
#

The only time I got black screen was when I had to use a gt 730 with a 10 year old cpu

shadow storm
#

Black screen and comp will restart on it's own if you wait five min

cold stream
#

Oh well thats..

#

That doesn't sound like a gpu problem

shadow storm
#

My buddy has the card atm to see if the card is doa or if it's my pc

cold stream
#

Because even if you randomly unplugged the gpu, that wouldn't make the PC shut off

shadow storm
#

My parts are all under a year old

cold stream
#

So that means it just be something else

shadow storm
#

Did the clean wipe of gpu like 4 times

#

And the vega is perfect

cold stream
#

It's not the gpu!!!

#

There's no way it's the gpu

shadow storm
#

That's why I'm picking your brains cuz my tech and I are stumped

cold stream
#

But you say this doesn't happen with Vega 64?

shadow storm
#

Nope

#

Tried both slots

cold stream
#

So then I thought it could be a power thing, but the 64 actually draws MORE power...

shadow storm
#

Yea!! That's why I'm getting rid of this power hungry HOT card

cold stream
#

I guess it must be something about the gpu I've just never heard of one causing a PC to shut down before

Eziekill#1116 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

cold stream
#

If it's under a year there's probably some sort of RMA or customer support you can get on the 2070

shadow storm
#

Its brand new

cold stream
#

How recent

shadow storm
#

2 days

cold stream
#

If it's within 30 days Newegg will replace no questions asked

shadow storm
#

Well I got it from bestbuy...

cold stream
shadow storm
#

Everything else is newegg

cold stream
#

You're doomed

shadow storm
#

Lol

cold stream
#

I need to get a beefier gpu at some point

shadow storm
#

If my tech says it's bad I'll return it

#

I almost got that Hercules 1000w off newegg but I got the full modular 750 evga gold

#

Never buy anything outside of newegg!!

#

Bad juju

cold stream
#

Well, just be careful about returns n stuff

still merlin
#

hey so i got a computer in 2018, i have a 1050 rn, would you say a next good purchase would be the 2060 super? my specs are : 16gb RAM, 1050ti GPU, 250gb Kinston ssd: i upgrade to the Ryzen 9 3950x and i got standard fan cooling

#

sorry not the ryzen 3950 i was looking up things, i ment Ryzen 2400g

slim solstice
#

No @tired swan I have never really, only used canned air

tired swan
#

2060 super might get bottlenecked by your cpu @still merlin

#

But ya it would be quite the upgrade

#

Although, unless you need the nvenc, imo the 5700XT is better than the 2060 S

still merlin
#

what about the 1660 super (jesus i like Nvidia alittle to much) for the price that it is that would maybe be worth it?

tired swan
#

Ya I think it's the better of the 2 in that price range and your cpu should be able to handle it I think but if you are looking to spend around $400 you could go 5700 save for a bit and get the 3600 depending on your income

still merlin
#

alright ill be looking around for both of those see what i can do. either one would be nice. good to know i didnt just go but a 2060 to realize i'm bottlenecking

spice prawn
#

you might also, as a side note, keep an eye out for a better ssd

#

you are most likely using the uv400?

#

not super important or anything

#

just something to keep in mind

still merlin
#

another option i could do though is buy the 2060 super and sell my 1050 and cpu for an upgraded cpu as well

spice prawn
#

mainboard support will come into play if you go 3600

#

so please check that :)

still merlin
#

alright thats another side note i also completely forgot about my motherboard

tired swan
#

Ya good point naed, make sure you update the bios so its compatible

spice prawn
#

@tired swan he might have a board that isnt able to go up there

#

(as in, the oem has not updated the bios or vrm is ..silly bad)

still merlin
#

r u sure a 2060 would be bottle necked my my cpu?
