[gray vapor]

@lone pond performance wise for GPU's the 1660 Ti is more or less on par with a standard 1070 so a 1070 Ti would be similar to like a 2060

[lone pond]

Found one for 230. That's what I was thinking. Sent him gpu benchmark site to kick him over tnt edge

Gonna screen cap this and let him know

[gray vapor]

Why not let your friend get on discord

[lone pond]

Lol this difficult man. Has to remember the login. I sent him this server

[gray vapor]

For phones and browsers it would usually just remember the login name with the password so he wouldn't need to keep you know putting in passwords

[lone pond]

Doesn't trust it lol. The man wants to back to a flip phone lol.

[mighty island]

when i boot my pc there's some strange blueish? lines that show up for 1 frame when it brings up the login screen, is that cause for concern? no other artifacts at any point

[lone pond]

@mighty island could be a graphics card rprobelm that could mean one might frail

[spice prawn]

could also just be a cable that is not plugged as it should be

because there is a "mode" switch at the login screen

[lone pond]

i found a gtx 1080 FTW for 300 good deal or no

[wicked hound]

used? no, not really. 5600XT is $280, 2060 is $300, 5700 is $330

[brisk flame]

But the 1080 outperforms all of those

Well, its barely better than the 5700

Almost negligible average performance difference

[wicked hound]

barely better, with a used price that is same as new price

[brisk flame]

If you can try and make an offer and get the card for like 250, do it

It's worth a shot

[wicked hound]

with a 2060 for example
you lose NVENC, RT cores, tensor cores (doesnt matter if they are basically useless for RTX, you are still paying for them), warranty, knowing that it'll work as the history is from a random seller

but yeah, 250 is good

[ancient crystal]

if you can get a 1080 for $250 that's a good thing

i've seen them as low as $270

even that is a pretty reasonable price

$60 below the 5700, and matching performance

[ember imp]

What do y’all think a blower Vega 64 is worth

[brisk flame]

260-300

depends on condition

[round mason]

arent those the jet engines

[spice prawn]

no, that title is a nvidia one

[round mason]

which nvidia cause mine barely goes over 60 under load

[spice prawn]

their old blower card

[round mason]

any blowers are jet engines

[spice prawn]

not quite

this one is special, let me see if i can find it

[ember imp]

It’s for my brother and he plays with headphones anyway

So noise isn’t an issue

[round mason]

meant that the card was hot and loud

[spice prawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvVr1El_q78 <- have fun with the history lesson @round mason :)

[ember imp]

Yes I know. He wears headphones so the noise won’t bother him

[spice prawn]

it was silly loud

[round mason]

oh damn

[ember imp]

lets see this

[round mason]

i might have been still in diapers then

[spice prawn]

about the 1:50 mark he is up and running again with it

[round mason]

my goodness

[spice prawn]

and yes, it WAS that loud

[round mason]

the vacuum cleaner

[spice prawn]

oh heck yes

[round mason]

ig we just so spoiled these days

[spice prawn]

:)

yes

[round mason]

XD

[spice prawn]

nvidias first founder blower was and is really nice

the 1080 one is REALLY nice for what it is

[round mason]

true

[ember imp]

Christ almighty

That thing is a jet engine if I’ve ever heard one

[spice prawn]

yes

and that is what i mean, when people come in and say "this or that card is hot/cold, this other company never makes stuff like that!"

people are easy to forget history :)

[round mason]

i mean

tech does move fast

[spice prawn]

aye

[ember imp]

Damb I was 5 when that thing came out

[spice prawn]

:)

i had been building for a good 8+ years at that point

[ember imp]

Damn. I feel spoiled but at the same time all the PCs I’ve had have been jet engines

Built my first pc with Christmas money a month ago

[turbid kraken]

I never hear my PC. EVGA makes a great 2070 Ultra Gaming.

[ember imp]

I never knew PCs could be quiet until now

[spice prawn]

:)

[turbid kraken]

Card never even hits 60°C

[spice prawn]

i have an appreciation for silence, considering the server racks i have been around :)

[ember imp]

Fun

[ancient crystal]

i've only been around server racks once

and uh

that was enough

[spice prawn]

:)

[ancient crystal]

i have a sensitivity to noise that is above the normal sensitivity to noise, and i can physically feel things moving inside me like i am internally unsettled in situations with noise like that

[spice prawn]

server rooms are not meant for humans to be in

[ember imp]

Damn I thought I was the only one

[spice prawn]

there is a very good reason that there are noise guard warnings on the entryways to any actual serious room

[stiff zodiac]

❤️

windows xp

i have a sensitivity to noise that is above the normal sensitivity to noise, and i can physically feel things moving inside me like i am internally unsettled in situations with noise like that
@ancient crystal someone is living underneath your ear xD jk yeah that sound is sad

[dusk stream]

Hi is the evga 1660ti XX ultra worth it

[unreal elm]

Can i convert the blower style fan on my rtx 2080 ti to a normal 3 fan cooling

[cyan vault]

@unreal elm if you want to whyd you evem buy a blower style in the first place

[stiff zodiac]

they cant wait to buy it xD ignore the after market cooler

[rigid crag]

Is a 1080 founders edition a good card for 300 used?

[verbal cairn]

$300 is meh, try to negotiate and get it for ~$250

@rigid crag

[rigid crag]

Aight what's a good price for a 1080ti 11gb founders then

[cyan vault]

@rigid crag there isnt one

They are all overpriced rn

[rigid crag]

Used

[cyan vault]

Even then

[rigid crag]

Aight

[cyan vault]

@rigid crag if you find one send it here

And we will judge

[rigid crag]

K

What's the max you would pay for a 1080ti used?

[cyan vault]

Well, the new market is around 800

Used like, 450-550

[unborn spire]

Is a msi gtx 1060 6gb good for 130

Just asking I got one

[cyan vault]

Yeah

Pretty good tbh

[unborn spire]

It’s it rly good shape he just didn’t have the box

[cyan vault]

Mhm

Pretty good

[unborn spire]

I’ll send u pics

[charred thistle]

what would be a good GPU for a 144hz display at 1080p for league of legends, tryin to get the best bang for my dollar. i was looking at the 1660TI but ive read its not really a 144hz card

[brisk flame]

any card can be a 144hz card

[charred thistle]

but what would put out that 144FPS at 1080p for the best value

[brisk flame]

high refresh rates are mostly cpu and graphics quality bound

an RX 470 lmao

tbh, if you gat a cheap RX 580 for 140

thats the best value

1660 super is a great newer card tho

if you have the money to spend on it

[charred thistle]

never really used amd so i dont really know what they compare to with nvidia

[dreamy dragon]

mafia.v#4245 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[charred thistle]

sad

[brisk flame]

tbh, the 1660 super is the best new card you could get

the 580 is way cheaper, but also less powerful, but still enough to run league at 144 1080p

[charred thistle]

probably gonna shoot for that one, i will upgrade as times goes just want a good start. ty

[brisk flame]

if you do get the RX 580, make sure its the 8gb version

and dont pay more than 140 USD for it

@charred thistle

[jolly basin]

I know someone who bought a gtx 1080 NOT even a Ti for $600

You could easily get a 2070 super for less than that

[spare relic]

Yo is a GT 220 a good card I wanna play Minecraft raytracing

[gray vapor]

are you trolling?

[spare relic]

Yes 😔

[gray vapor]

I would advise against that kind of trolling cause some people that is new to this might take that serious and end up buying something useless

[mild otter]

is buying an RX 570 useless

[gray vapor]

Well depends on what said person is playing

RX 570 still useful for most battle royale games as well as other esports titles

[coarse bison]

It’s great if you are budget oriented

[spare relic]

I'm planning on getting one

because I'm poor and don't really need to get anything better for the foreseeable future

I do however need anything better than what I have now as a bonestock GT 730 leaves no room for enjoyment or function even on just a 1280x1024 monitor

and yes I am substituting need for want ;)

currently questioning the correctness of that sentence

[lone pond]

gtx 1080 for 270$ rx 5700 for 370$ or rtx 2070 for 400$ ko or gtx 1080 ti for 400$

which should i get

[gray vapor]

1080

[cyan vault]

@lone pond 1080ti but it might be sketchy

[granite juniper]

1080 ti, you can get a 1080 for like $240-250 if you look hard enough

[lone pond]

i found a gtx 1080 gaming x for 270 good deal ?

on avg the gtx 1080 ti is 22% faster than the gtx 1080

[merry gull]

Best graphics card under 200$? Lookin at the GTX 1650 super

[ivory kiln]

what card do you guys recommend for a Ryzen 3 2300x

[lone pond]

get a gtx 1060 6gb or a rx 580 8gb

@merry gull but theres loads of gtx 1070s on ebay for 200 and theres gtx 1080s for 250 to 300

[gray vapor]

Look on facebook market place you might find a 1660 for under 200

[mild otter]

hey anyone know if there'll be a St. Patrick's day sale? I really wanted to buy the RX 570 for $120 but the sale's ending in 3 days so I don't think i'll be able to. If there has ever been a St. Patty's day sale please let me know and if it's tradition to have on please let me know.

[ivory kiln]

but I'm not sure which one to go with amd or nvidia

[stiff zodiac]

follow your heart

go green if u like green team

[gray vapor]

@ivory kiln Always go green

[stiff zodiac]

go red ❤️ money per fps

[gray vapor]

Red you need a powerful processor for streaming

[round mason]

das why you go double red for zen 2

[lapis elk]

I've owned the 5700XT for a little over a month now and I'm about tired of all the black screens. About ready to sell it and go back to Nvidia

[ivory kiln]

So my connection from my display is a dvi d cable so what card would be better and that has connectivity to that

[lucid fern]

Hello there, I have a gigabyte rx5700xt gaming oc and I was running cinebench open gl for the gpu and it gave me this message, after clicking on it it started to run. Thanks for your comments and have a nice day

[high osprey]

Which is better, 2 2080ti SLI or one Titan RTX?

[wicked hound]

Both
As per usual in these questions, it depends on what you're doing. For raw compute horse power that'd be dual 2080Ti

[lone pond]

do gpus need passive backplate cooling?

[brisk flame]

no

not usually

[lone pond]

what about a 2080 ti

[brisk flame]

i doubt it

[lone pond]

because i have two backplate options

[brisk flame]

gpu manufacturers havent put vram chips on the back in a long time

or so it seems

[lone pond]

the ek which has thermal pads included

and the phanteks one which has a platic back to prevent grounding

idk which one to choose

[brisk flame]

whichever one looks cooler

[brisk flame]

ok

so which one do you like more

[lone pond]

idk

im leaning to the ek one because ti passively cools

[brisk flame]

ek is the better brand here, i would go with that one

[lone pond]

but idk if it actually needs cooling

[brisk flame]

meh, it cant hurt anything

[lone pond]

so what im doing is just replaing the stock backplate because idont like the look of it

the ek one will hang over the pcb bey about 2 mm

@brisk flame

[brisk flame]

ok

[brisk flame]

once again

it do not matter

go for the ek one

probs better quality

and sure, passive cooling

better than nothing ig

[granite juniper]

havent people done tests where it doesnt matter at all

[brisk flame]

yeah, thats my point

but when you have to pick between A and A

might as well pick the nice one

[lone pond]

How much bottleneck is an rtx 2060 and a ryzen 9 3950x

[verbal cairn]

A 3950x won’t bottleneck a 2060

And that CPU won’t run at its full capacity when paired with a 2060 either

But you’ll get the performance of, well, a 2060 I guess

[ember imp]

But like why spend so much on a cpu and not a gpu

What kind of work are you doing on this pc

[stiff zodiac]

xD

[granite juniper]

if it’s rendering or something cpu intensive

[glossy jetty]

Which would you guys say is better? RX 5700 XT or RTX 2070 Super

I’ve looked around and tomshardware gpu hierarchy says the 5700 XT but other places like gpu used benchmark says 2070S

[royal copper]

I’d go 2070 super

Nvidia is better in the higher end and people have issues with the 5700 xt drivers

[glossy jetty]

Okay thank you

[cyan vault]

@glossy jetty shhhhhh the drivers are fine, they have pretty much the same performance but some games are optimized to one side

Its pretty much, do you want ray tracing or not

[glossy jetty]

Hahaha I’ve had a rtx 2060 and dont see a change in ray tracing hahahah

[cyan vault]

Because the 2060 isnt really meant for ray tracing

[royal copper]

I know there are some people in this server that have 5700 xt and wish they went nvidia

[cyan vault]

It has it, but doesnt really run it

@royal copper keyword some

[royal copper]

Many

[glossy jetty]

Which one would get more FPS in a non rtx game

Let’s put it there

[cyan vault]

It all depends

Some games are nvidia optimized, some are amd optimized

Generally the 2070s though

[glossy jetty]

Okay thank you haha

[royal copper]

Mostly ye the 2070s

[wicked hound]

2070S gets like 2% better perf, but for 25% more in price

[glossy jetty]

That’s also true

[cyan vault]

Its a difference of like, 3 fps

[glossy jetty]

I saw a 5700xt for 560 cad and 2070s for 640

[royal copper]

It can be a difference of like 20fps

Depends on res and settings

[glossy jetty]

4K mainly high settings

That’s what I usually play at cap at 60hz

[cyan vault]

@glossy jetty neither will be able to do that

Consistently

[royal copper]

The difference in fps at 4K will be smaller

[glossy jetty]

I had a 1070 ti and 2060 that could get close to that if not 60 and down to 45 and back up

I play not heavy requirement games like FH4 or elite dangerous and so

Stuff that doesn’t have a huge requirement

[cyan vault]

Does it need to be 4k res then?

[glossy jetty]

I mean I got a 4K monitor so why not use it for what it’s got

[cyan vault]

Did you but a 4k60hz

[glossy jetty]

I play div 2 at low because that’s all the 1070 ti can

Yea 4K 60hz

[royal copper]

Well 4k144hz is like $1000+ lol

[glossy jetty]

Plus nothing can run that ^

[cyan vault]

True

@glossy jetty dual rtx titans

Nvlink

[glossy jetty]

Doubt

[cyan vault]

It could on medium to high settings

[royal copper]

Not consistently but a rtx titan or 2080ti maybe can

[glossy jetty]

My friend renders with dual rtx 2080 ti and she can’t get 4K 120

[cyan vault]

2080ti vs titan rtx

[royal copper]

Depends on the game also

[cyan vault]

The titan is better

[wicked hound]

Depends

[glossy jetty]

Yes but the 2080ti is right after it

[royal copper]

True

[wicked hound]

No AIB titans

[royal copper]

But titan isn’t advertised mostly at gaming

[glossy jetty]

That is true

It’s meant for render stuff

[cyan vault]

Rtx 8000s

The ultimate card

[glossy jetty]

Hahahaha

[cyan vault]

Run 4 of those in nvlink

Infinite power

Only 5.5k a piece

[royal copper]

Just get the 50k Mac Pro ez

[glossy jetty]

With a new 4th gen ryzen 9 and ddr5 ram?

[wicked hound]

Nah, AMD Epyc

[glossy jetty]

Hahahahaha

[cyan vault]

The epyc is op

[wicked hound]

Dual 64c CPUs

[cyan vault]

Its only 7k for infinite power

[glossy jetty]

I watch Linus pull crysis at 720p with only the epyc no gpu

[royal copper]

Dual amd epyc

[cyan vault]

QUAD AMD EPYC

[glossy jetty]

All at 128 core

[cyan vault]

Now thats infinite power

[royal copper]

Got to have all the cores

[cyan vault]

Sub zero cooling duh

[glossy jetty]

Quad core epyc with 2tb ram and quad RTX 8000

[cyan vault]

No no no

You get a pcie 16x daughterboard

[royal copper]

I can’t wait until we have 10tb of ram

[cyan vault]

With 8 slots

And then, get 12 rtx 8000s

[wicked hound]

Don't think there are any quad CPU epyc mobos

[glossy jetty]

Next thing you know the government confiscated it because it draws more power than any nuclear plant can bring out and radiates more heat than the sun

[cyan vault]

Lol yeah

[royal copper]

Are there even quad cpu mobos to begin with

[wicked hound]

Yes, some Intel ones

[royal copper]

Interesting

[wicked hound]

Was on some LTT video before

One of the "holy S#*$" videos

[glossy jetty]

Anyways I got my answer hahaha thanks guys

[royal copper]

Whoa are you avoiding the filter?!?

Np

[wicked hound]

I mean, it's part of the video name

[royal copper]

[wicked hound]

That is basically exactly how the video name is done

[royal copper]

Lol

[wicked hound]

Except idk the exact pattern of censoring

[royal copper]

Who does

[stray lake]

Hey guys should I get a 5700xt or a 2070 super I know price wise 5700xt is a no brainer but I'm starting to get worried about driver issues and I'm not sure if I actually should be worried or just a loud minority

[kindred otter]

anyone know the difference between the 2060 KO and 2060 KO Ultra

[royal copper]

Lol we were literally just talking about that @stray lake

I would go with the 2070s

Some people here even complain about the 5700 xt being unstable/crashing

[cyan vault]

@royal copper thats only people with the bad models

When the drivers are all fixed it will be the perfect card

[kindred otter]

I have the same situation lol, I wanted a 5600 xt but now Im being recommended 2060 KO Ultras

[cyan vault]

Get a 2060 KO

They are better

[kindred otter]

You know the difference between the KO and KO Ultra?

[royal copper]

Also 2070s is better for streaming with the nvenc encoder and has rtx if your into that

[stray lake]

I only care about rtx minecraft

[cyan vault]

Just use shaders bruh

[stray lake]

And that's all anyone should care about

[royal copper]

It is probably small difference of the clock speeds @kindred otter

Yeah I want rtx Minecraft

[kindred otter]

Hm, but does it give me more FPS

[cyan vault]

Its only on win 10

[stray lake]

No but the rgb will

[royal copper]

Honestly Minecraft shaders looks terrible to me

2070s is a little better than 5700 xt in fps

[cyan vault]

Barely

Not 100$ better

[kindred otter]

Imagine buying an RTX 2080 Ti

[royal copper]

Like 3-5 fps at 4K maybe and 20 fps at 1080p

[cyan vault]

@royal copper all depends on the game

[granite juniper]

i'd say like 5-10% faster than the 5700 xt afaik

[cyan vault]

2%

Actually

[royal copper]

Nah more than 2%

[granite juniper]

2% at 1080p, 6% at 1440p, and 9% at 4k

but fh4 helps pad that for the 5700 xt

[cyan vault]

Haha

Im right

[granite juniper]

🤔 if u average it its 5.6% which is between 5-10% checkmate

[stray lake]

So what I'm hearing is just get scammed by nvidia

[cyan vault]

Imo, yes

Up to you

[granite juniper]

2070 super - better performance, nvenc encoder, much more stable, rtx
5700 xt - cheaper

[lone pond]

2080 ti = best fps

[kindred otter]

FPS +100
Money -1200

I think the 2080 Super is a way better value

anythings a better value than a 2080 Ti

[cyan vault]

@lone pond titan rtx=best fps actually

[leaden flower]

what will be the effect of putting a PCIe 3.0 x16 card in a 2.0 slot?

[lone pond]

Probably lose a decent amount of fps @leaden flower

Pcie 2.0 is 5gt/s where as pcie 3.0 is 8gt/s

@cyan vault actually quattro rtx 8000= best fps

[cyan vault]

@lone pond no those are workstation gpus

[lone pond]

Lol I know

Rip

[granite juniper]

drivers would suck so the titan would win

quadro cards only have the workstation drivers, titan cards have gaming (or both idk)

[wicked hound]

@cyan vault titan has no AIB cards. So unless custom water-cooling with a custom BIOS for power limit, glhf beating a kingpin 2080Ti

[granite juniper]

520w vbios time

[spice prawn]

Are there even quad cpu mobos to begin with <- @royal copper intel, amd, sun, ibm all have quad boards

[royal copper]

I want quad cpus

[cyan vault]

Dammit

Im hella stressed now

I read about the 5700 XT driver issues and its been going on since launch

But I cant really return it because I'd have to ship across the ocean, which costs a ton

So should I try to sell on ebay for like, 400 (I have 440$ one) and then buy a 2070s? Or should I return it and get a 2070s

Because the cost of shipping is gonna be super high

Or should I just wait for drivers to stabilise

I havent built it yet so I dont onow the extent of the problems

At least firsthand

[ember imp]

Word of advice. Don’t use the latest adrenaline 2020 drivers

Use the latest adrenaline 2019 drivers which is version 19.21.1

[round mason]

@cyan vault you have the rights as the customer to return that product. You should never have to upfront the return fees

most sellers will generally issue a full refund and cover return fees.

know what your rights are as a consumer and feel free to excercise those rights

[mild otter]

guys i'm feeling good about getting the graphics card

[queen crest]

oh no

[mild otter]

i don't have enough cash to buy it on my own but my sister said she'd help me purely because she wants to play Stardew Valley on the computer.

[queen crest]

niice

[mild otter]

and i already have a super good processor the graphics card is the only problem

it's like a intel quad core

[queen crest]

what gpu you going with?

[mild otter]

RX 570

[queen crest]

which intel quad core, there's a lot

nice nice

[mild otter]

hold on lemme check

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300

[queen crest]

ah, the first mainstream quad generation

very nice

[mild otter]

yeah\

and my brother has an Intel Core i7 CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU and I compared the two cards and the RX 570's better

so I just compared the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GP with the RX 570 and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GP is 10% worse than the 570

[vital zephyr]

noice

[gray vapor]

Didn't have to compare the 570 is better than the non super 1650

But if the rumor that MSI will bring out GDDR6 1650 non Supers then it might be a little better than the 570

[brisk flame]

its kinda funny how gpus already have DDR6

like, the only reason for it is because the distance between the die and the memory module is close enough that it works without issues

i think at some point, the memory slots on a motherboard might have to be moved closer to the cpu or something

just a random thought

[queen crest]

L4 cache

[brisk flame]

i mean

basically

just give cpus 8gb of l4 cache

[hardy cypress]

Does anybody know if the powercolor 5700 xt red devil can use asus aura?

[ember imp]

It can’t

It uses its own rgb software

[hardy cypress]

Ok thought so.
Thank you.

[crimson echo]

5700 XT ASRock Challenger runs hot. Any ideas why?

And screen just goes black.

[queen crest]

Amd

[crimson echo]

Whole chassis is hot.

LOL

[queen crest]

Uh, if my chassis you mean case, you might need some fans

[crimson echo]

Got 4 Chassis fans.

And a radiator with 3 fans.

3 140mm and 4 120mm

With AIO pump

[cyan vault]

I think imma just wait and see if the drivers are actually that bad

[shrewd zenith]

what is the fastest/quiet version of the 580 RX video card to get?

[gilded field]

Are there people that find value in dead video cards?

[royal copper]

I guess you can use a dead card for parts

[rigid crag]

I just saw a gtx 1080ti sell for 375

Not bad...

Not bad at all

[proper timber]

Hey there guys

Need some help

Im searching for a budget grphic card

I'm comparing against rtx 2060 vs GTX 1660 super

Which one will be good guys

Should I go to rx 5600xt

No rtx 2060 super and no rx 5700xt

They are strictly out of budget

And amd graphics don't have ray tracing ryt??

[verbal cairn]

What’s your budget ? And no, AMD cards don’t have ray tracing

@proper timber

[proper timber]

My budget is nearly 70,000 ruppes

In indian

[verbal cairn]

With 70000 rupees you can get a 2080 super...

[cyan vault]

Thats like 981 usd

Wtf

Thats more than enough dude

[verbal cairn]

[cyan vault]

Ok maybe not

That 2080 is waaaay iverpriced

[winter stirrup]

2070 super?

[cyan vault]

Mhm

[verbal cairn]

The link is 2080 super 🙂

[royal copper]

Different currency

[verbal cairn]

I went to India PCPP and just got the closest card to his budget

[verbal cairn]

There’s also the Strix for cheaper which could be a better option

Or that Gaming X

[cyan vault]

Why is it so high from discord

[winter stirrup]

The budget is only for the graphics card?

[cyan vault]

Yes

70000 rupees

That one is around 55k

@proper timber

[verbal cairn]

Well I guess it’s for the GPU since he didn’t precise if it’s for the whole build or not...

[proper timber]

Yup

[cyan vault]

Is it for just gpu

[proper timber]

No no

For the whole pc

[winter stirrup]

Haha

[cyan vault]

Ah ok

[verbal cairn]

I’m sleep

[cyan vault]

Thats still 1000$

[proper timber]

I'm looking for a 25"000 ruppes decent gpu

[verbal cairn]

Oh ok

[proper timber]

@cyan vault it is

[winter stirrup]

You already have other parts picked out?
You
Ram
Etc

[verbal cairn]

That’s a different story

[winter stirrup]

Cou

[proper timber]

Yup

Ryzen 5 3600

https://in.pcpartpicker.com/product/cY3H99/zotac-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-6-gb-gaming-video-card-zt-t16610f-10l

[winter stirrup]

Rtx 2070 i think would go well

[gray vapor]

8gb of memory is too little

[verbal cairn]

https://in.pcpartpicker.com/product/GzPgXL/evga-geforce-gtx-1660-super-6-gb-sc-ultra-gaming-video-card-06g-p4-1068-kr

[winter stirrup]

It had a good bottleneck ratio if memory serves

[proper timber]

So GTX 1660 super is good?

[verbal cairn]

Keep in mind one is 1660 Ti and the other is 1660 super

[proper timber]

Ooh okay

[royal copper]

16gb mem is yummy

[winter stirrup]

Wut

[proper timber]

Then boo need of rtx

No*

[gray vapor]

16 gb of memory is better needed

[verbal cairn]

According to PCPP you can’t get an RTX card for 25k rupees

[proper timber]

Inno3d bro

Galax

Zotac

[gray vapor]

@proper timber Do you plan on playing at 1080p or 1440p

[proper timber]

1440p

[gray vapor]

so RTX

[proper timber]

Maximum

Hmm

Okay

GTX 1660 super won't support 1440p?

[gray vapor]

it would but you would have to lower settings of course depending on the game

[verbal cairn]

Idk maybe Indian PCPP isn’t as accurate as in the states

[proper timber]

Yup

Dontook at PC parts picker

Go to Amazon.in

[royal copper]

It might not be able to do 1440p in newer games to come

[cyan vault]

https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/YJKBzN

[proper timber]

And see there is an inno3d card

For 25,000

[verbal cairn]

What’s the card ?

[proper timber]

Rtx 2060

For 25,000

Exactly

[verbal cairn]

That’s a 1080p card imo

[proper timber]

1680Mgz

[gray vapor]

@cyan vault lot of games right now usually hits like 45 to 50 fps at 1440p but that is playing on ultra

[verbal cairn]

You’ll have to tweak settings to play at 1440p

[proper timber]

Okay

So which one finalaly guys

Rtx 2060 or GTX 1660 super or GTX 1660 ti

[gray vapor]

not enough for a 2060 super?

[proper timber]

Umm

[verbal cairn]

Performance wise RTX 2060 > 1660 ti > 1660 super

[proper timber]

It is 5,000 rupees extra bro

I'll try

I have to compromise on something then

If I'm going for rtx 2060 super

[verbal cairn]

2060 super is better value I think

[winter stirrup]

Yep

[gray vapor]

@proper timber here is the question ok do you plan on streaming

[proper timber]

Yes it is !!

[winter stirrup]

Better bottleneck too

[proper timber]

@gray vapor not now after 1 year

[gray vapor]

If you don't plan on streaming i would say to go for the RX 5700/XT

[proper timber]

That is 45,000 rupees bro

Which is 600 dollar

[winter stirrup]

If you want a cheap one just go 3rd 570

Rx 570

[proper timber]

Lol

GTX 1660 super is far more better bro

I compared in userbenchmsrk

[gray vapor]

Wait are you crossfiring 570's right now?

[verbal cairn]

Why not a 5700 ?

[proper timber]

Crossfiringm??

[winter stirrup]

Dual gpu

[proper timber]

@verbal cairn not avail in any of the Indian web

@winter stirrup will it work

Nvlink

Will it be good?

I saw in many videos they suggest one high end graphic card instead of two low end gpus

[winter stirrup]

It could meet requiremenys, but it won't be as good as a rtx2060 or the others mentioned

[verbal cairn]

You sure about that ? https://in.pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#sort=price&c=445&page=1

[proper timber]

@verbal cairn more than my budget bro

[gray vapor]

Pretty sure the 1660 Super and 1660 Ti you can't do Nvlink/SLI

[proper timber]

Moreover in PC parts they will show

In Amazon they dont

[gray vapor]

i think Nvlink is 2070 Super and up

[verbal cairn]

That’s right my bad

[proper timber]

@gray vaporwait does PC parts picker sell PC ??

[torpid garden]

Silly to SLI 16xx 's vs a single 20xx

[winter stirrup]

Yea

[proper timber]

Okay then...

Which one to go 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[gray vapor]

pcpartpicker helps with making the list and would give you the stores where to buy them

[proper timber]

Hmm okay @gray vapor

Let me see

If I could extend my budget

To rtx 2060 super

[winter stirrup]

They have some premade pc blueprints for gaming builds

[proper timber]

Ohh

Oaky

@gray vapor thanks a lot bro

For your help

[gray vapor]

np

[winter stirrup]

If I were building a virtualization pc and I wanted quality over price would I go ryzen 5 3600, or 5 2700

[proper timber]

@gray vapor yo I'm sorry bro

Very tight budget

I can't compromise anything

Can choose between rtx 2060 and GTX 1660 super

[winter stirrup]

What's your motherboard price

[gray vapor]

If you go with a standard 2060 go for the 2060 KO

[proper timber]

Bro rtx has ray tracing ryt?

[winter stirrup]

Yep

[proper timber]

Then it will be good ryr

[winter stirrup]

R= ray

Yep

[proper timber]

Hmm

Okay then I'll go for it

Rtx 2060

Finalized ryt?

[winter stirrup]

If you can't get super then yes

2060 straight

[proper timber]

Okay

Bro one more doubt bro @winter stirrup

When I looked in benchmarks in battlefield 5. GTX 1660 super has avg frame rate of 88fps where as rtx 2060 has only 79fps with rtx ultra

It means GTX 1660 super is good?

[gray vapor]

Where are you looking at these benchmarks?

[proper timber]

In youtube

Jegs tv

They put in video itself bro

They pared these gpus with ryzen 5 3600

[winter stirrup]

Gtx is good, but rtx ultra graphics cost slight for drops, and some gpus run some games better

Fps

Drops

[proper timber]

Ooh

[winter stirrup]

Haha

[proper timber]

Wow

Then I'll go for rtx 2060

If it's been a tight budget then next choice is GTX 1660 ti

If it doesn't pass gtx 1660 super

That's it

[winter stirrup]

Good luck🤗👍

[proper timber]

Thanks a lot @winter stirrup

For your help guys

And sparing time with me

[gray vapor]

You should be watching like Hardware Unboxed or Gamer Nexus and even Paul's Hardwear

[proper timber]

Thanks @gray vapor

[royal copper]

Hard eare

[gray vapor]

I woke up like 10 min ago ok

[royal copper]

[noble sequoia]

speaking of graphics cards im looking to get an upgrade rn i have a 1060 3gig and im thinking 2060 super or 2070 any thoughts?

also getting a new processor but thats decided

[winter stirrup]

What's your cpu

@noble sequoiaWhat's your cpu

[royal copper]

They are close in performance

[winter stirrup]

2070 is a bit higher

[royal copper]

A bit

[winter stirrup]

2060 super is better value

[royal copper]

Whether it’s worth it depends on the price you can find it for

[winter stirrup]

True

Most just buy from newegg lol

[royal copper]

I haven’t seen much price drops on the 2070

[noble sequoia]

my cpu is a ryzen 3

[winter stirrup]

...

[noble sequoia]

i think its 3.5 gh

yeah

not good

[winter stirrup]

You upgrading

[gray vapor]

which Ryzen 3

[noble sequoia]

yeah

leme check

[winter stirrup]

@gray vapormy thoughts exactly

[noble sequoia]

1300x

[royal copper]

It will probably get bottlenecked

[noble sequoia]

yeah

[winter stirrup]

Definitely

[gray vapor]

just a little but not that noticeable

[noble sequoia]

cpu will most likely be upgraded to a ryzen 7 2700

[royal copper]

2700 or 3600 is good

[gray vapor]

if you plan on upgrading to a 2700 then a 2060 Super and 2070/Super would be good upgrades from a 3gb 1060

[noble sequoia]

yeah

i was recently given a 144hz monitor so i want to be able to use it to its potential

not to mention being able to run better vr games

[winter stirrup]

O vr

[gray vapor]

Heck even a 1660 Super is still a big upgrade from a 3gb 1060 lol

[noble sequoia]

anything is

[royal copper]

You do vr with a 1060 3gb ?

[noble sequoia]

believe it or not

i get decent frames on most games i play

[royal copper]

Ouch

[gray vapor]

You do know for a lot of VR especially when it started was a 970 right

[winter stirrup]

Lol, I do intense virtualization on an all in one pc

[noble sequoia]

i can run super, beatsaber, and vr chat which are the main ones i play

[gray vapor]

3gb 1060 is pretty much a 970

[royal copper]

Yes but still for today that is drawing the line a bit

Usually at least a 1070 is recommended for vr

[noble sequoia]

yep

how big is the difference between the 2060 super and 207

2070*

[royal copper]

Little I think

[noble sequoia]

most 2060 supers are around $400

2070 about 450-550

so probably not a huge difference

[royal copper]

Yeah the different is small so whatever you can find

2060s is better value

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB SC2 HYBRID GAMING is that price tag for real?

a 1080 for $999?

[fallen schooner]

someone has one posted local in my area for 500

Im almost tempted lol

[lone pond]

why not get a 2070/80 TI at that price?

[unreal elm]

Is it okay to leave my gpu underload 24/7

Like will that shorten its lifespan drastically

[lone pond]

shouldn't

I leave my computer on with games running 24/7

[azure coyote]

5600xt, 5700xt, 2060s, or 2070s for a ~100 build (can go over if performance is justified)

[unreal elm]

Ok cause i limit my gpu to 60% power and then just turn on my mining software when i go out but I dont want to mess up my build

[lone pond]

@unreal elm I have a 620 UHD as my graphics card, and I have it running 24/7, I'm sure yours will be fine

[wicked hound]

@unreal elm so long as not OCed or OVed, cooling isn't trash on the GPU, ambient temps aren't crazy high, the case has decent airflow, and that there isn't anything blocking off airflow to the card (vertical mount GPU as an example) then you're fine

[quasi flicker]

Are there any non-gigabyte graphics cards that work with RGB Fusion 2.0?

[cyan vault]

@quasi flicker no

[quasi flicker]

Okay that's what I thought

[runic trail]

I'm looking at power connectors on cablemod

What power connector does the MSI Radeon RX 5700 EVOKE OC take?

[spice prawn]

google is your friend

you have seen pictures of it already

Oh wait is it PCI-E right?

And then a CPU takes EPS

Sorry I had to jog my memory

[spice prawn]

just like generally all other questions you have asked. The answer is in front of you.

Hey guys i have a rather outdated card its a gtx 750 2 gb but the fan went out on the heatsink and now its overheating to the point of killing the display. What would be a good Replacment cooler for the old single fan style cooler? Could i just do a low profile cpu cooler or a single tile water block? Its in a ROG G20aj

[devout pawn]

i'd consider just upgrading if its that old

[wet temple]

definitely need an upgrade at that point tbh, better off upgrading than repairing an outdated card

[shrewd zenith]

good morning everyone

[verbal cairn]

To you too @shrewd zenith

[twin prairie]

hello,

I need help I have rx 570 4gb on my PC, and I am planning to put it on my old 2nd PC, and buy new one for my main PC. I have 1080p 144hz monitor and not planning to upgrade high end monitor Which is worth to buy?
rx 580 8gb = 173$
rx 5600 xt = 326$
RTX 2060 6gb AMP = 309$

[queen crest]

2060

580 8gb is to small of a change

If the only 5600 xt thats available costs more than the 2060 its a no brainer

[unreal elm]

Im not sure the 580 can give a steady 144 fps to keep up with the monitor either

I think for most games it can do around 90-100

[gray vapor]

@twin prairie why no 1660 Super in the mix?

[still ember]

^honestly, ye. it's one of the more underrated gpus. should be great for 1080 144. i would avoid 5600xt rn with all the driver and silicon issues going on rn

it's almost a 1660ti for $40-50 less

[gray vapor]

1660 Super is like 40$ less and only 10% performance difference

from the Ti model

[still ember]

ye, gonna be the new ole reliable for nvidia's 'budget' range

[shrewd zenith]

is February a good time to buy a video card for the best possible price?

Or should I hold off a bit? Looking for a 1660 Super

[cyan vault]

@shrewd zenith november is, black friday

besides then and if there are any gpu shortages, there is no “good time”

that I know of at least

[stiff zodiac]

10% matters xD @gray vapor xD

[lone pond]

would it be worth it to buy a 2080TI instead of 2080S?

[arctic phoenix]

what would u use it for?

because its 300$ difference so if u REALLY need the performance 2080ti is a nice jump

but 2080S should be able to do very well

[cunning falcon]

what is open box

and should i get it

[dusty hedge]

open box is a returned product that has been tested and or repaired to like new working status.

[cunning falcon]

how does vendor warranty work on it? it says 3 years but then "manufacturer warrenty applies"

[brisk flame]

the vendor you buy from usually offers a warrenty

the manufacturer usually has their own, longer warranty

so you can return the gpu to the store you bought it from, but if that expires, there's probably a manufacturer warranty to fall back on

IF its offered by the manufactrurer

[shrewd zenith]

is this a good version/brand of the 1660 super?

[verbal cairn]

That card can potentially run hot (not the best cooler)

I mean it’s fine bet there are better cards

[shrewd zenith]

@verbal cairn which 1660 SUPER has GOOD cooling ?

Gigabyte?

[verbal cairn]

Gaming X (MSI), Strix (ASUS), CS ULTRA (EVGA)...

@shrewd zenith The best coolers for a 1660 Super I would say

Gigabyte Gaming OC 3 fans is fine too

[shrewd zenith]

can't find any of those on amazon.ca (I'm in Canada) can you help me find them?

Never mind found them all have 2 fans only though only the gigabyte TI has 3

[verbal cairn]

That’s correct

[granite sphinx]

My ASUS DUAL is nice. Never had any temp problems with it.

I don't care too much about temps as long as I'm not overheating it.

[worn vector]

Hi I need some help. Im looking for a $200 to $250 GPU

[queen crest]

New or used @worn vector?

[worn vector]

new

[queen crest]

Also, usa or other?

[worn vector]

USA

I currently have a ryzen 3 3200G and I am looking to upgrade from onboard graphics

[queen crest]

So this range you have 2 real options

1660 super and 5500xt

$240 and $180 respectively

What are your thoughts on bstock items @worn vector? 1 yr warranty fully functional.

[worn vector]

I mean I would do that.

[queen crest]

I had a similar decision so I got evgas 1660 ti for $232 after tax

I'll let you know how it is once I get it, comes in tomorrow

[worn vector]

Okay thank you

[queen crest]

The only other option is the 5600 xt if it goes on a big sale

Keep tabs on crowd sourced deals forums

[worn vector]

I’m good at getting other stuff just graphics cards are where I struggle because there are soooo many. And then I’m 16 so I have a low budget

And I definitely will

[queen crest]

Ggs

[exotic briar]

guys

need your help

980ti for 150 or 1070 for 220

[fallen schooner]

can get a 1660 for 200-250.

[wet temple]

1660ti even

[cyan vault]

Eh

1660s

Much better valuw

[granite juniper]

1070 ti best value

[cyan vault]

The best value card is probably a rx 580 8gb

[wicked hound]

Used, yeah. New, 580 is meh due to 1650S

[spice prawn]

@granite juniper if we are talking EOL cards, i would go for the Kyro II

[cyan vault]

xD

[spice prawn]

nevermind that it has been out of production for a decade+

[cyan vault]

Yeah

[spice prawn]

or that it doesnt have a T&L engine

[granite juniper]

idk some dude bought a r7 for $350

god tier value for productivity

[cyan vault]

Mmmmmm yes

[granite juniper]

or like a V56 for $200+custom cooling and bios modding to get hella good performance

[shrewd zenith]

@queen crest wish we had those prices in Canada

[shrewd zenith]

not sure, i have an r9 280x but I am going upgrade to a 1060 super 🙂

[gilded field]

i like the nvidia gpus, but man are they pricey

[shrewd zenith]

the 1660 super is not bad

@grizzled nimbus if you want to play that game, at least go back to the start of things :) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Creative-CT6970-GeForce-256-DDR-32MB/143528464139?hash=item216af68f0b:g:eDQAAOSwkEFeQDyU

[spice prawn]

yes, that is from before we really started using the term GPU

because, of a lack of integrated T&L (and a bunch of other things)

[unborn spire]

What’s the difference between the msi gtx 3gb and 6gb 1060 visually

[cyan vault]

Like, how they look?

Or perform

@unborn spire

[unborn spire]

Look

[cyan vault]

None

But 6gb performs much better

[unborn spire]

Lol yep just tryna figure out because I bought a 6gb for 130 and wanna see if I got a worse version

It said it was 6gb tho

But I can’t check until later

[rigid crag]

Is an rtx 2080 turbo for 500 new a good price

[cyan vault]

Id say so

[rigid crag]

Thought so. I'm not gonna buy it I was just curious👍

[low atlas]

Someone help me I have a Lenovo M58E is only VGA SO a need upgrade a new video card whit hdmi output help me y need recommends

[spice prawn]

@low atlas you need what is known as a Half-height

because of your case

do you know if you have a standalone graphicscard already or?

the back of your machine, where you have everything connected. Is your monitor connected VERY closely to the usb plugs?

https://www.reboot-it.com.au/assets/alt_1/22733.gif?1520292805

that looks close to what you have @low atlas ?

[low atlas]

Yes

[spice prawn]

okay

you are aware that the machine itself is not very powerful right?

[spice prawn]

something like this could work

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-745-755-980-990-Dual-Monitor-Windows-10-nVidia-NVS-295-Video-Card/264596400331?epid=1800615396&hash=item3d9b2ca8cb:g:xTcAAOSwPMpeKxpr

https://www.ebay.com/itm/PNY-VCQFX380LP-T-PNY-Nvidia-PCI-E-Quadro-FX-380-LP-SFF-HDMI-Adapter-Video-Card/264512330310?epid=73863418&hash=item3d9629da46:g:egQAAOSwqNxdtRLI <- or something like that.

it makes close to no logical sense to buy a new card for a machine that is that old

Thanks bro

[spice prawn]

you are very welcome @low atlas

[shrewd zenith]

hello everyone 🙂 good day!

[cyan vault]

Hi

[shrewd zenith]

so, @cyan vault asus / gigabyte for a 1660 super..

[cyan vault]

Depends on the model

[shrewd zenith]

okay, let me ask it this way, what is the best version/brand of the 1660 super to get?

[spice prawn]

depends on a bunch of factors

start pasting links of what you are looking at

[cyan vault]

Yes

[shrewd zenith]

https://www.amazon.ca/Gigabyte-GeForce-Graphics-Windforce-G-N1660OC-6GD/dp/B07YYZGM51/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=1660s&qid=1582196821&s=electronics&sr=1-5

3 options i'm considering

[cyan vault]

Strix is probably best

@shrewd zenith

[gray vapor]

Id actually go for Gigabyte but EVGA i find is always better

Asus lately i find their paste job is poor and their customer service isn't that great

[granite juniper]

its a 1660S cooling doesnt really matter just pick the cheapest

[shrewd zenith]

i was told some brands/makes heat up quiet a bit and be choosy about cooling on the unit

[cyan vault]

Its also noise @shrewd zenith

The better cooling, the quieter

[shrewd zenith]

which would be the quietest one to get?

noise is a huge factor for me

[cyan vault]

The one with the best cooling

[shrewd zenith]

i just spent like a bunch of money on new fans and a new CPU cooler and a QUIET modular Corsair PSU to quiet down this PC, i currently have a cooler master PSU in there and its started to get loud AF

@cyan vault which would be?

sorry, not a cooling expert,. wouldn't know which is better over the other

[cyan vault]

Not the dual fan oc one

They have high boost clocks but cant achieve them

Usually

Id go with an evga one if possible

[shrewd zenith]

whats the difference between

https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-GeForce-Gaming-Backplate-06G-P4-1068-KR/dp/B07ZHZL2JB/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=evga+1660S&qid=1582201111&sr=8-1

and

https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-GeForce-Gaming-06G-P4-1061-KR-Single/dp/B082TG29Z3/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=evga+1660S&qid=1582201156&sr=8-4

is there any other difference in these besides the single fan/dual fan?

[spice prawn]

the first is thick as all heck

sorry, let me correct myself here

the single fan version is thick, it looks like a 2.5/2.75 slot card.

the dual fan version is a "neat" 2.0 slot card

the dual fan version has a slightly higher boost clock, rate that as you want.

the likelihood (without looking up reviews) of the dual fan version being quieter is fairly high.

but do check some reviews of that, remember, reviews of both cards, from the same place.

or you wont be able to compare the numbers

@shrewd zenith does that answer it for you?

[shrewd zenith]

yes thank you @spice prawn

[spice prawn]

anytime @shrewd zenith :)

[shrewd zenith]

ok, so I have narrowed it down between

EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Super Sc Ultra Gaming, 6GB GDDR6, Dual Fan, Metal Backplate, 06G-P4-1068-KR

and

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 Super™️ Advanced 6GB Edition GDDR6 HDMI 2.0 DP 1.4 Gaming Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-GTX1660S-A6G-GAMING)

they are both more or less the same price, $10 canadian difference

[spice prawn]

take whichever you think goes better with your shoes

it does not really matter

[dreamy dragon]

n00bguy#2105 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[spice prawn]

watch your words @shrewd zenith :)

[shrewd zenith]

yes sorry I apologize

[spice prawn]

i dont personally care, the bot does thou :)

[shrewd zenith]

if u were to get a 1660 super right now and we concerned about noise & cooling combined, which of the two would u get?

[spice prawn]

as i said earlier, look at a review for noise numbers. that is all you need to look at, imo

[shrewd zenith]

thank you for all of your help @spice prawn

[spice prawn]

you are very welcome @shrewd zenith :)

[lone pond]

Hi

I want a good gpu that can run vr and rust

Decent price to

Not a $10,000 gpu

XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition

Is this any good

[stray lake]

Which 2070 super should I buy?

[solemn panther]

Either Msi gaming X or gigabyte gaming OC 3x @stray lake

[fallen schooner]

windforce*

[stray lake]

What's the difference between wind force and gaming?

[spice prawn]

basically a bit of a higher pre-oc

chance of you noticing the difference? slim to none

[odd pendant]

All right so I installed an XFX RX 570 into my dads ryzen pc

The first time I think it was DOA so we returned it and this one was packaged better and seemed new

Same issues

It boots to a black screen. Nothing happens

Past the post screen when it tries to get into windows it just goes black. Nothing happens

Now its flashing a blue screen. Not quickly, but I'd say every second itll turn off and then back on

Any idea why?

[spice prawn]

@odd pendant lack of power is a possible cause

[odd pendant]

It was the hdmi cable. It was outdated and couldn't handle throughput

[spice prawn]

that does not really make much sense, but as long as it works for you :) [edit:works]

[odd pendant]

It was an outdated hdmi cable that was cheap and flimsy

[spice prawn]

fair enough

[charred thistle]

whats the better value card right now the 1660S or the RTX2060 KO? is it worth the extra to just get the RTX or?

249$ for 1660S and 299$ for RTX USD

[granite juniper]

250 for a 1660S is overpaying imo, 300 for the 2060's is a pretty good deal so i'd personally get the ko

[frigid sapphire]

just installed the radeon software for a gpu and it asked to restart, but now its just a black screen

help

[midnight elk]

right now, for the rx 5600 xt, which radeon version is the most stable? (can someone ping me in their replies pls?)

[exotic briar]

hey guys is a vega 56 better than a 980 ti

[lone pond]

@midnight elk Honestly each version has its own set of problems.

The Current 20.2.1 Drivers has a tendency to just not like some games.

I honestly cannot give you a time when there were "The Most" stable build.

[ember imp]

@midnight elk personally I’ve been on version 19.12.1 with minimal issues

Latest drivers gave me lots of crashes

[exotic briar]

this is why sometimes perfer nvidia

but with my circumstances i cant

[round mason]

why not @exotic briar aside from high end gpu 2080+ nvidia cards are very competitive in terms of price to performance

there are so many options from low-end to mid-end gpus from both amd and nvidia

[lone pond]

Nvidia has been in the game very long and understand what Drivers are meant to do.

AMD is like a Nuclear Reactor that is in a perpetual state of Melt to non-meltdown.

Can't make up its mind.

[exotic briar]

facts

[lone pond]

Though don't get me wrong.... Nvidia also has their own problems.

I am not saying that Nvidia is 100% perfect with no flaws, because they do, and their drivers can also be really bad.

[midnight elk]

@ember imp @lone pond thank you both for your responses. I’m gonna be installing my gigabyte gaming oc rx 5600 xt tomorrow and I wanted to find out which is the best radeon version to install. this is my first time in building my own pc and I want it to go as smoothly as possible

[lone pond]

Building your first PC is both a headache and a dream come true.

@midnight elk Before you do... let me ask... how many case fans do you have?

[midnight elk]

3 120mm intakes, 1 140mm exhaust

[lone pond]

Make sure you have enough Case Fan Headers on your MOBO, if not you may need to use an adapter piece.

[exotic briar]

@midnight elk try to do an auto downlaod from thier website

[midnight elk]

@lone pond my case fans came with a fan hub that uses a molex connection straight to the psu. so I still have 2-3 fan headers left on the mobo for use

shafay, I’ll try to do that.

[round mason]

oh btw not sure if its still a problem but you may need to flash ur bios for 5600xt

[midnight elk]

I’m actually trying to find out whether I still need to update it, or if the new vbios has been flashed straight out of the box already

[lone pond]

Best GPU under 150 AUD?

[torpid garden]

Probably a used RX580 8GB or if you single PC stream, whatever nvidia equivalent like a 1050 ti, 1660 - assuming it's compatible with budget.

[lone pond]

Which gives most performance

[shrewd zenith]

I am thining of picking up the 1660 SUper myself

[shrewd zenith]

hey everyone, would a 1660 super bottleneck my AMD FX-8350 Black CPU with 2x8 gigs of DDR3 ram and an SSD drive to game from?

[cyan vault]

@shrewd zenith the cpu would bottleneck the 1660 super, not the other way around

If upgrading, Id scale to the am4 platform with ddr4 ram instead
