#

but the 1650 is not much faster than my current r9 280x

#

i want to basically get the best possible graphics card for 1080 gaming for that CPU

#

i don't have enough money to build a new PC

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

1060 6 gb

#

Anything else will be a waste

#

Whats the budget for the new gpu

#

Im not saying buy a new system, im saying upgrade the mobo,ram and cpu

shrewd zenith Feb 21, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

doesn;t matter

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

Mobo and cpu first, ram can stay

shrewd zenith Feb 21, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

1060 is more expensive than the 1660

#

here in Canada

#

1660 also seems faster

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

It is

#

But you wont notice it

shrewd zenith Feb 21, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

vs my r9 280x

#

sure I would

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

Just whats the max you would spend

#

In CAD

shrewd zenith Feb 21, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

$300-$350

#

looking at this one

#

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6G Graphics Card, 2X Windforce Fans, 6GB 192-bit GDDR5, Gv-N1660OC-6GD Video Card

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

What size is your case @shrewd zenith

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

1660S is $230 USD, 305 CAD

#

So that non S is a waste

shrewd zenith Feb 21, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

so the 1660S would be the best to get?

#

which brand?

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

@cyan vault also do note monitor. Believe a 60Hz monitor would bottleneck both the CPU and GPU

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

True

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

So can just set to max graphics or something and that 1660S will be fine "bottlenecking" wise

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

Get a new gpu if you want @shrewd zenith, id spend 20$ over budget and get this instead: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DBBk6R

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

With having a 1070, that's like ~70 FPS on average I think for max-ish settings

#

Might have been my 1070Ti too tho as idk now that it's been a while

shrewd zenith Feb 21, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

@cyan vault but than I still won't have a video card LOL

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

You will have your old r9 280x

#

And then get a used rx580 from ebay later

#

It will be worth it a lot more in the long run

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

I mean now that games are more multi threaded friendly FX isn't super duper horrible anymore

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

Yeah, but its not on am4

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 1:19 PM

I mean, AM4 is also about to die off within I think it's a year now

shrewd zenith Feb 21, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

man, thank you everyone so much I'm really learning a lot here

#

lets say my budget is $1000 for a brand new PC, Canadian, including taxes.. than what would u suggest?

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

Well, taxes vary from 5% to 13% I think

#

In Canada

#

Might be max of 15%

#

So depends on where you live in Canada

shrewd zenith Feb 21, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

I'm at 13% in Ontario

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

Ha, oof. But also same

#

That's about $885 CAD to work with

shrewd zenith Feb 21, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

@wicked hound what would u build with that for MAX 1080 gaming possibly on ULTRA settings

#

btw, do u guys know how much I could sell this used OLD PC for if I decide to build a new one?

#

With 2x8 gigs of DDR3 ram, R9 280x 3GB windforce, 1x 950 evo 250 gig SSD

I think it sucks for the consumer that socket types are lasting sometimes a year or year and a half. I get (I went to school for Electrical Engineering emphasis on programming) that new tech needs more access to pci express lanes etc but longer planning to help the consumer have more long Gevity in their investment would be appreciated.

lucid whale Feb 21, 2020, 4:00 PM

under $300, what is the best upgrade from an rx 580 8gb? can be certified refurb or new

@torpid parrot budget

#

@lucid whale 1660 super

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

i am considering either 2080Ti RTX or Titan RTX

#

i am looking for something that can provide enough gpu ram for GANs and NLP type applications

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

Get an rtx8000 if no budget

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

would it be preferable to have a single Titan RTX, or 2 2080Ti RTX, or a single 2080 Ti RTX

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Titan rtx is best

stiff zodiac Feb 21, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

would it be preferable to have a single Titan RTX, or 2 2080Ti RTX, or a single 2080 Ti RTX
@torpid parrot RTX 8000 🙂 thats quadro btw https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/quadro/rtx-8000/

NVIDIA

NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 Graphics Card

NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 is the most significant advancement in computer graphics in two decades.

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

@torpid parrot Depends on what you do

#

very specifically

#

Because it becomes a matter or architecture, amount of VRAM, VRAM bandwidth, etc

#

Going for multiple Radeon Instinct cards can be better then one Nvidia card

#

depending on scenario

stiff zodiac Feb 21, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

i seen two drivers in amd.. theres one driver called the same name but theres pro beside it xD special for content creators.. very optimize for adobe apps.

#

cad animation and rendering they say

📎 unknown.png

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Im pretty sure Radeon Instinct wasnt really made for workloads that you'd just do on Adobe apps

brisk flame Feb 21, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

They're more datacenter oriented cards

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

@wicked hound I am looking to use workflows for GANs and NLP

brisk flame Feb 21, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

So you get like 64 of them and run the simultaneously

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

@torpid parrot what are you currently working with hardware-wise?

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

@torpid parrot Problem I have is I know what to look out for, but have no real knowledge on what to recommend. So I cant help much

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

because there is no sense in making you switch architecture quirks in the middle of doing whatever it is you are doing.

stiff zodiac Feb 21, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

tensorflow is now ROCm ready

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

@stiff zodiac wait it out and let him answer.

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

@spice prawn I am looking to use the GPU with an intel i9 cpu (perhaps 10900X)

#

@spice prawn it is also for a new build, so it wouldnt be any switch of any architecture and such, and the workflow is also new

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

hm

#

just to clarify here, is it a turnkey solution or a custom solution you will be using ? (on the software side)

#

@torpid parrot see above

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

@spice prawn it is a DIY build, so a custom solution

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

just to clarify, we are talking about the software for the NLP work right?

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

@spice prawn for the NLP work I plan on using LSTM and other algos, perhaps the new Reformer algo , and mostly for self work with biomedical data; i also plan to use other algos for image analysis as well

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

and you have experience working with this?
(i am just trying to make certain that you have not just been convinced by some random person to spend a fortune on hardware)

#

because a rack for it can be reasonable for some people, and a single box under the desk is overkill for others

#

so the "range" is fairly bonkers for the general consumer.

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

@spice prawn I am not looking to spend a fortune on the hardware, I am looking to get the right hardware for these types of analyses, I also have to process genomic data and alignments as well, for which preprocessing eats up lots of ram especially for sequence alignments

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

i dont doubt you, i am just trying to make certain you know what you are asking for, before i start talking about it. I hope that makes sense?

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

@spice prawn, yes makes sense

#

@spice prawn i am considering going with either 1 or 2 2080 Ti RTX, i9 10900X, and either 128 or 256 gb of ram

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

so you are going avx512?

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

@spice prawn I am not sure yet if the work will require AVX512, but there would be matrix vector calculations likely used with sparse datasets

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

fair enough

#

because that is more or less the only benefit, aside from raw single core ofc

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

@spice prawn the only benefit of what in regards to what

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

AMD

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

aye.

#

what Hei said.

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

Cuz I mean, 3950x or TR

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

ok

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

mind, i dont personally care about you going intel or amd. but i would prefer that you at least are aware of the options :)

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

well the reason for selecting intel over AMD was because python libraries seem to be optimized for intel vs AMD

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

that is your end of things :)

wicked hound Feb 21, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

you can be optimized, but optimization cant always beat raw perf

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

in stuff like this, it generally does @wicked hound

#

because there is too much money involved

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

the raw performance of i5 can apparently beat out the AMDs for work with numpy and other calculations

#

my question though was mainly about the GPU though

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

aye

#

(not important, but could you at some point, link those results? because i am curious about that bench)

#

on the gpu side of things

#

you would be dealing with having 2 banks of 11gig ram

#

a rtx titan would grant you a single 24gig block, mind, it would be less total compute resources

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

@spice prawn, right but RTX titan, though it would be a single 24 GB block, it does not have a blower fan design as some of the 2080 Ti RTX do; I am also not sure if RTX Titan even provides much performance benefit over 2080 Ti RTX

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

compute wise, there is a tiny bit.

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

ok

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

the 2080ti is a slightly cutdown titan

#

with a bunch less ram etc

#

personally, i would not worry about the difference in performance.

#

and then again

#

(sorry, i have to get those old brain cells working, this is not a topic that comes up much here)

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

@spice prawn so which one would you recommend

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

IF you are using the tensorcores, there is a software limit on how FP16/FP32 works

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

right that is true

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

and on that front, the titan is double the speed of the 2080ti

#

Titan is something like 130 teraflop at fp16 and the 2080 is .. 60-ish something

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

have you had experience using the Titan RTX or know of someone who has used it

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

i have never coded for them, if that is what you mean

#

i have installed plenty of them in both machines and racks

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

yes, I was referring to coding or development for them

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

i know people, but i cannot put you in contact with them.

#

breach of contract

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

what have they told you about their experience with using Titan RTX

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

the users are happy

#

and the technicians seem happy too

#

mind, technicians are never truly happy

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

so basically you are suggesting that I should go with Titan RTX

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

it IS a powerhouse of a card if you are moving in nvidia land

#

there is just no denying that

#

and IF your current deployment will only need at max two of them, the cooler is not a problem

#

let me correct myself.

#

IF you current deployment doesnt need a board with them stacked fin-to-fin and fully populated. there is no problem

#

the upside is that you will have a more silent box

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

a more silent box with which card

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

the titan

#

blower style coolers will be louder

#

it is physics 101

#

but again, this only matters if we are talking about the system being near you

torpid parrot Feb 21, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

right, I am not sure how many I may need to stack

spice prawn Feb 21, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

if they are in a rack? blast the music and rock on.

#

and that is a question i cannot answer for you.

#

you are in the "annoying" part of the spec where doing a test would be the smartest

#

but most likely also the most annoying thing

I have around 600-700 dollars to spend on a graphics card; my monitor is a 1080p display, 144 hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time, True Color- NTSC 85%, sRGB 110%, 1800R curve panel design, 27 inches in size, and AMD's FreeSync Premium Technology, etc. Though you could just call it a MSI OPTIX G27C2 Monitor. I will be upgrading to a 1440p display with the same specs though from MSI.

The point is I want a RTX 2070 Super--most likely the R.O.G. version of the card--so that I can run games at 144 or near to 144 FPS. It has better overclocking capabilities than the 5700XT, runs cooler and quieter in some cases, it also requires less power draw in certain cases, the majority of times it produces greater frames than the 5700XT, etc. Though, I want to also go for an 5700XT from AMD: it is cheaper; in some cases uses lower watts; and in some cases pulls in better frames than the RTX 2070 SUPER though to be honest that is rare, requires intensive overclocking compared to the RTX 2070 Super, and it usually happens in all of the games that I don't play currently.

you seem to be answering your own un-stated question

cyan vault Feb 21, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

@unkempt stratus not 100% true

#

And yeag

unkempt stratus Feb 22, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

I am scared of buying a 5700XT because of black screening issues and other people warning people about not getting the 5700XT--I even asked a guy and he said 100% to get a RTX 2070 Super--because of so many driver issues that have not been resolved.
I do not need PCI-e gen 4 because I currently run a R7 2700x with a B350M Mortar Arctic Motherboard from MSI paired with ddr4 memory at 2400mhz currently overclocked to 2933mhz with timings of 16-16-16-36, and I also have a Gigabyte GTX 1050 TI at gddr5 memory with 4gb. Ignorant me did not think of upgrading to a RTX 2070 Super or 5700XT because I thought I was either upgrading to a RX 590/RX 580/RTX 2060 and bought a 600 watt rated power supply from EVGA with an 80 plus rated power efficiency and I am worried of not having enough power to run either card.

#

I know it is messy but im kind of rushing

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

power should not be a problem

#

ofc, i would value having the exact model of psu @unkempt stratus ?

unkempt stratus Feb 22, 2020, 12:08 AM

um

#

i try to pull it up

dusk cedar Feb 22, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

Whats the pros and cons of two 3gb cards vs one 4-6 gb card as far as gamming goes?

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

@dusk cedar considering that SLI/Crossfire (the use of two GPU's at the same time for gaming) is fairly broken in general

#

the con is that it just doesnt scale remotely close to what you might wish

#

does that make sense or?

dusk cedar Feb 22, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

I guess heres my question, I have a gtx 1060, I was thinking about maybe picking up another one second hand or I can spend a bit more and get one 4gb card possibly, this is all theoretical due to lack of funds currently

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

i would strongly recommend that you save for a single card that is an upgrade

dusk cedar Feb 22, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

Ok thank you

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

you are very welcome :)

#

and just so you are informed about it. You can find benchmarks that show the "wonders" of SLI/Crossfire.

#

but, the actual use of it is imo more of a headache than a joy to use

dusk cedar Feb 22, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

So generally speaking 1 card is usually better then 2 for gaming?

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

majority of the time it is

#

because it just works

gray vapor Feb 22, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

SLI is pretty much only useful now if you want to get the high score in 3DMark

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

a theoretical use case, that had a potential usecase was VR, but that has not really shown itself yet

gray vapor Feb 22, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

@dusk cedar The thing is for SLI/Crossfire is you're just piggy backing performance from the other GPU but if you're using 3gb Vram you will still use 3gb Vram regardless

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

and i would not hold my breath for it

dusk cedar Feb 22, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

So is there no real reason to run 2 gpus outside of benchmarking and wasting money?

unkempt stratus Feb 22, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

i guess so

gray vapor Feb 22, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

pretty much

unkempt stratus Feb 22, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

for gaming at least

#

if thats your main concern

gray vapor Feb 22, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

You'd have a better experience using a 2060 Super than to get another 1060

unkempt stratus Feb 22, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

you could get a 5700 if you have the funds

#

that would be really strong

#

compared to the gtx 1060

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

@unkempt stratus it is not that nice to recommend something you would not potentially use yourself :)

dusk cedar Feb 22, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

im partial to geforce haha

idk maybe gigabyte too?

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 12:48 AM

worth the price?

tired swan Feb 22, 2020, 3:53 AM

if you have a white build and you are getting a 2080ti, then thats kinda your only option so i guess

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

IF the colour is worth it for you? then yes

tired swan Feb 22, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

but its like $300/400 over other 2080tis

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

and TI are generally quite a bit over their msrp

#

which is 999

lime kiln Feb 22, 2020, 3:55 AM

i would personally paint the shroud myself IF i had to

hexed forge Feb 22, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

you could buy a nonwhite one and paint the shell if you are savy enough, but i wouldn't if you don't know what you're doing

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

and to reinforce on what @hexed forge said. IF you dont know how. Ask someone that does.

hexed forge Feb 22, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

i would be more wary about it simply becasue 2080ti is expensive and if you break it doing that its not going to be eligible to be RMA'd.

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

the shroud should be possible to buy from someone that has gone water

but, it would most likely not be cheap

what's the difference in that one and the ultra version?

also are the liquid cooler ones any better?

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

higher boost clock out of the box

#

and for the hybrid versions, what i said above

#

the actual difference when running will be VERY minimal

#

it is up to you if you find that worth the money

lime kiln Feb 22, 2020, 4:08 AM

boost clock is like 15 higher from the xc and the xc ultra that really any difference?

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

imo, it doesnt matter one bit

granite juniper Feb 22, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

the evga ultra cards are 3 slots, and have hella chonky heatsinks that help with cooling

heres the xc vs xc ultra 2080 (should be similar for ti)

granite juniper Feb 22, 2020, 4:35 AM

looking at the evga forums, it should be like 5-10c cooler with a lower fan curve, but the only 2080 ti with noticeably better performance is hof/kingpin oc'd

spice prawn Feb 22, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

which is still silly expensive right?

granite juniper Feb 22, 2020, 4:35 AM

hm apparently the xc ultra is fine for the 380w vbios, if you want to oc/tweak the bios you could get a nice mhz boost

no differences

@shrewd zenith if you haven't already ordered the 1660, this RX580 is on sale for slightly less, but the same performsnce. It has a decently slower clock speed but 2 more GB of V-RAM and it roughly adds up to the same performance. https://www.amazon.ca/XFX-RX-580P8DFD6-Radeon-1386MHz-Graphics/dp/B06Y66K3XD/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=xfx+rx580&qid=1582490872&sprefix=xfx+rx58&sr=8-2

Just slightly cheaper

@brittle rover The 1650 Super / 1660 is slightly faster then the RX580. However the 1660 Super is 300 CAD and is a fair bit faster then the RX580

Ah ok thanks the advice. I'm actually building a PC soon any ideas for a card comparable to the xfx rx570 8Gb model?

#

@wicked hound

wicked hound Feb 23, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

Not really. So long as the 570 is about $110 USD then it is worth it. If it's closer to $140 USD (which some are) you should probably just get a $160 1650 Super

#

If you go used you get get a RX580 for about $100

jolly basin Feb 23, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

@brittle rover I recommend spending the extra $50 to get an rtx 2060

#

You can get one for $290

#

Us dollers*

fossil falcon Feb 23, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

What is the best graphics card

#

A NVIDIA 2080 ti?

wet temple Feb 23, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

for gamers, it's just about the king of graphics cards

fossil falcon Feb 23, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

so that is best for gaming

wet temple Feb 23, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

but if you have every dollar in the world and need maximum performance, the titan RTX will be even better

#

otherwise, just go with 2080ti

fossil falcon Feb 23, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

Oh

#

does it matter if i got a asus or msi version

#

Of the 2080 ti

wet temple Feb 23, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

that i can't help with

#

ask around and read reviews, some cards are better than others

spice prawn Feb 23, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

IF we are talking the bog standard 2080ti's then there is not any real difference between the different brands

#

at that end of the scale, one 2 slot wide card vs another 2 slot wide is basically equal

#

if you are comparing cards with differences aside from that? then you have to list models and read reviews :)

#

@fossil falcon does that answer it for you?

fossil falcon Feb 23, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

Yes

tired swan Feb 23, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

ya only differences may be a couple degrees and maybe an fps or two

wet temple Feb 23, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

yeah

brittle rover Feb 23, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

@fossil falcon if you want THE fastest card, the 2080ti lighting is the fastest, but it is WAY more expensive than any others and isn't really worth the extra money. The most popular option would be the founders addition.

wet temple Feb 23, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

some few cards might have bad thermals but by and large most are almost identical

fossil falcon Feb 23, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

ok

wicked hound Feb 24, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

@brittle rover Kingpin is what I'd say

#

because I mean it's built for LN2 OCing, including binned for it too

jovial stirrup Feb 24, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

rtx 2080ti yes im now broke yes

drowsy anvil Feb 24, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

Yo 1660 TI is good for it’s buck right

gray vapor Feb 24, 2020, 1:51 AM

1660 Super would be better for the price

drowsy anvil Feb 24, 2020, 1:51 AM

Didn’t know that’s a thing. You know how much more it is?

granite juniper Feb 24, 2020, 1:53 AM

Would you guys say that a msi geforce rtx 2060 6GB graphics card is good?

queen crest Feb 24, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

I wouldn't say that

#

2060 ko best 2060

spice prawn Feb 24, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

@gilded kernel it is a solid card at its intended pricepoint

lone pond Feb 24, 2020, 5:38 AM

@wet temple you know you like it

So if anyone asks yes you can use a ek backplate without the waterblock on evga cards

@fallen schooner Have you decided on gpu yet?

#

If not, I honestly can recommend the 5700 XT. The one I got is doing really well, bouta run benchmarks with an without OC

But no overclocking, I got an average 250 fps csgo so its pretty dang good(max everything, AA 8x)

What gpu would you recommend for ultra 1440p

#

If that's even possible on a somewhat moderate budget

#

I'm looking at getting the 5700xt, but Im more concerned about the driver issues than anything else

hexed forge Feb 25, 2020, 2:33 AM

the driver issues arent really an issue anymore

tired swan Feb 25, 2020, 2:33 AM

what fps @karmic solar

gray vapor Feb 25, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

But there are always driver issues that happens

karmic solar Feb 25, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

I have a 144hz monitor, but I'm fine if it's below that

#

As long as it doesnt drop too low

#

I would say minimum of 80

Do you plan on streaming as well?

do you guys know any cheap rtx 2070 super gpus ?

karmic solar Feb 25, 2020, 2:53 AM

Uh

#

Generally that will be your cheapest

#

Just search by 2070s nvidia

It'll be the black green and white one

That's a different company

anyone know the best way to see if a corsair water block will fit a gpu?

junior pilot Feb 25, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

Imagine using an rtx 2080 to play 360p

gray vapor Feb 25, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

10 years it will happen 😛

karmic solar Feb 25, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

Pff

#

How about a titan

#

For 144p

#

@lament widget do you mean for a custom loop?

#

I'm pretty sure Corsair states which gpu each one will fit on

#

As each one needs to be different in order to get full coverage

At that price range I'd rather nvidia but it's your choice

some people have had issues with amd's drivers and the 5700xt getting toasty

is the only difference between xc ultra and sc ultra noise and cooling?

if so is it significant

@cunning falcon maybe a minor difference in clock speed, but yeah cooling mainly

faint bridge Feb 26, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

@shrewd zenith depends on the game

#

I use vsync in destiny 2, so it's locked at 60

#

unlocked it's in the 100-110 range a lot of the time

#

that's paired with a R5 1600 AF btw

#

Black Desert Online can run the "remastered" mode in the 40s which i find to be quite playable, if i switch to very high it goes into the 50s

#

I mean it's not like you buy a $145 graphics card expecting the same performance as if I had spent $500 or $1000, everything I play had acceptable framerates at high/ultra

cunning falcon Feb 26, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

@granite juniper worth extra $10?

faint bridge Feb 26, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

I would say it depends on the differnce. 50 mhz? probably not 200 mhz? maybe

#

i guess it would depend if you could get more bang for your $10 elsewhere in the system

granite juniper Feb 26, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

depends if u value the noise/cooling at $10 or more

#

personally I would, but I run everything at the lowest fan curve I can on my gpu, still get 2ghz with under 40% speed under load on my strix 1070 ti

So, my 960 is on its last legs, and I'm looking to upgrade. I wont be able to afford anything more that a 1660 Super, but I'm not sure I wanna spend that much. Should I go with the 1660, 1660 Super, or maybe go for either an Rx 590, or the 5500xt since I have a monitor that supports freesync?

#

A ti is definitely out of my budget

#

Even a Super would be cutting it pretty close honestly

#

Yeah

#

Oh. Yeah I may be able to afford that then

#

I might. I'll look into it

@lone pond you really like subtlety flexing don't you?

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 12:13 PM

#

That's cute

#

Subtle flex best flex

#

I can't wait to get my PC

#

And simulate playing at 30FPS 4k low settings to my friends while my PC is in the background with RGB popping off

#

I was thinking of getting a 2080ti

#

But it's not worth for me. Maybe if 3000 series comes out and they lower the price but as of RN id rather have 3700x 2080s @OC than 3600x 2080ti

@ me so i could notice

cyan vault Feb 27, 2020, 1:17 PM

@blissful sequoia 3600 2080ti is stronger

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

@cyan vault I need the extra cores for light CAD and light video editing

#

If I was purely doing gaming then sure

I've made 2 builds with the 2

that ram is really easy to oc, and an ips monitor

Or spend 14 dollars and get 3600 cl16 @granite juniper @blissful sequoia

granite juniper Feb 27, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

you can get that stuff to better than that

cyan vault Feb 27, 2020, 3:58 PM

No, you cant go from 3000 to 3600 with only going up to cl16

It doesnt even say the timings

The first is a different kit

#

Read

granite juniper Feb 27, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

they both use e die

#

so it should be nearly the same

cyan vault Feb 27, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

Not everyone wants to do that, and spending 14 whole dollars isnt gonna break the bank

#

Especially at that budget

granite juniper Feb 27, 2020, 4:01 PM

:/ it takes all of 1 minute to do

cyan vault Feb 27, 2020, 4:02 PM

Well, the g skill looks better

And again, just because it works on that kit doesnt mean it works on all(some are better than other, I mean they could get unlucky)

https://i.redd.it/4pmv87u669z21.png if you can get the 2400mhz kit at 3733cl16 i think the 3000mhz should be fine

cyan vault Feb 27, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Overclocking tests are rarely done for more than a week, so it could for a couple days very well and then not

#

They just try it once, and then bam upload

#

Not under constant use necessarily

brisk flame Feb 27, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

A little late, but there's no guarantee that the ram kit you buy can even go up another mhz

#

Save a bit of money, but you could end up with what you pay for

wicked hound Feb 27, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

This has been looked into by Actually Hardcore Overlocking/De8auer (dont remember who). E die does work quite well

#

@blissful sequoia switched out the PSU for a better PSU and added a better CPU Cooler as stock 3600 cooler is kinda loud. As a note from Nuclear that RAM can OC to 3466/3600 CL16 quite easily. You can spend the extra $15 or so for RAM that is guaranteed 3600 CL16 tho if you want

Where does a before gt 635 stand to a rx 480

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

@wicked hound ik the PSU wasn't all that great. I only had it cuz it was white xD

#

What's the difference in performance really tho?

wicked hound Feb 27, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

You have a PSU shroud, just put a piece of paper over the hole in it

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Like, ik that 2080ti is like 10-20% faster than 2080s

#

But but from 3700x to 3600 won't that hurt the performance in CAD heavily?

wicked hound Feb 27, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

If talking about the CM at least, the Phanteks has a black PSU shroud so no point in worrying over white PSU

#

as for CAD, idk

#

will take an okay hit probably, but I assume you're mostly gaming due to the 2080Ti

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

Ik going from 8c to 6c is kinda big deal

dawn elbow Feb 27, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

Is this about graphics cards or power supplies?

wicked hound Feb 27, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

As for the PSU, just cleaner power and theoretical longer lifespan, easier to recover from a 12v rail failing due to multiple 12v rails on the Whisper

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

GPUs

wicked hound Feb 27, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

Also quieter iirc

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

But PSUs got mixed up xD @dawn elbow

dawn elbow Feb 27, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

I understand just trying to find out some info for a friend about GPU's so when the chat started going I was checking see if anyone responded to my question lol

wicked hound Feb 27, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

could also get the EVGA black (much better in cooling and noise) and paint the shroud white

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

Hahaha that's too much work

wicked hound Feb 27, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

@dawn elbow a gt 465 is pretty slow compared to a RX480. Probs over a factor of 10

dawn elbow Feb 27, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

Ok he has a gt 635 so and I have a rx480 that is not being used since I upgraded to the gtx 1660 super ty hei I will be switching his gpu out to the 480

elder marsh Feb 27, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

What's a good graphics card to match my 3800x?

royal copper Feb 27, 2020, 11:29 PM

probably higher end like 2070s and up depends on budget

elder marsh Feb 27, 2020, 11:30 PM

Is it probably worth waiting until this summer for an upgrade?

#

3000 series and amd big gpu

royal copper Feb 27, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

meh amd doesn't have much in the high end for gpu's

#

I'd opt for a nvidia gpu rather than something like a 5700xt or a radeon VII

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

Welll

#

If you want to game strictly on 1080p

#

5700xt will run butter smooth

royal copper Feb 27, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

meh the 5700xt is controversial

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

Then again. Do you care about features. I personally would rather have Nvidia since I use GeForce to record etc.

royal copper Feb 27, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

true nvidia gpus are the way to go if you are recording or streaming

blissful sequoia Feb 27, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Well, I have a few upperclassmen that have 5700XTs and they are extremely happy with price to performance at 1080p

That's why I mentioned it

Are amd gpu fans suppost to not spin at first

royal copper Feb 28, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

I'm not sure about amd specific, but it isn't abnormal for the gpu fans to not always spin while not under load. Once there is a load they should definitely be spinning

river wadi Feb 28, 2020, 12:20 AM

We need RT 2030 for low end system so it can ray trace at least 60fps 720p

blissful sequoia Feb 28, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

720p?

#

I don't think that's on anyone's bucket list

#

Also if u r using a theoretical 2030 you'd be playing at what

#

High settings 720p rtx

#

That seems unrealistic.

#

I don't think rtx is that big of a deal

Specially on low res

zealous crow Feb 28, 2020, 3:47 AM

I use 1080p but some people are gaming on 720p

blissful sequoia Feb 28, 2020, 3:55 AM

I don't think people gaming at 720p will appreciate the detail that rtx brings to the table

Alright so if I was to get 2 1080 ti’s which would y’all recommend?

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

@maiden sun used or new

#

And why

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Used obviously

#

Just because I want 2 1080 ti’s

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

Why not get a single 2080ti?

#

And it all depends on the market near you if used

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

It’s 400 usd average for a 1080 ti

#

What 1080’s have the best rgb?

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

No no no

#

It depends on the market

#

And the blower ones average 400

#

Good, rgb ones average 500-600 depending on local market

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

Cool. I’ve got 1.5k for the cards so what 1080’s have the best rgb?

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Then just get a 2080ti?!

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

I’ll pass

#

I can’t get 2 2080 ti’s for 1.5k

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:31 PM

But you dont need 2

#

Ok that’s cool and all but 2080 ti doesn’t sound like 1080 ti

rigid crag Feb 28, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

I dont know why you need 2 1080ti but the founders edition is the best version of that card with rgb lights on the side that you can see through your case.

dont be rude to other members @maiden sun

hes just trying to help.

Wdym it doesnt sound like it?

rigid crag Feb 28, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

.....ok

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

Im telling you, its better to get a single 2080 TI

rigid crag Feb 28, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

It is better to get a 2080ti tho

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

But whatever.... its a bigger flex saying you have 2 1080 TIs

#

Than one 2080 TI

rigid crag Feb 28, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

I think it's just for looks lol

#

To see 2 cards in his system that both light up

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Yeah well, its still a waste

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

That’s exactly what I’m saying. It’s a flex machine not mainly performance

rigid crag Feb 28, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

It's your money so if you want to spend it like that you obviously have different priorities then us :)

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

Well thats just dumb.....

#

Exactly

#

Go ahead and waste money, I was just trying to help and you started being rude so

#

Plus a single 2080ti has more rgb

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 3:38 PM

I don’t know man, plenty of things I do use 2 gpus

#

But whatever

cyan vault Feb 28, 2020, 3:38 PM

@maiden sun i am curious, what games do you play that benefit from SLI?

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

A whole lot of battlefield

#

I have over 3000 games :/

spice prawn Feb 28, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

and of those 3000, about 2800 of them have no benefit from sli.

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

That’s still 200 games

#

finger_guns

spice prawn Feb 28, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

which is why people said that the "value" is bad.

#

because it is "only" 200 games

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

That’s a lot of games

#

Like a lot a lot

spice prawn Feb 28, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

not when compared to the 3000 that you mentioned.

abstract monolith Feb 28, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

I wouldn’t personally do SLI, just rather save up for a better graphics card

maiden sun Feb 28, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

cool

abstract monolith Feb 28, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

You’ll see a bigger boost if you just buy one better graphics card than to do sli

acoustic ginkgo Feb 28, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

SLI is one of those techs that seemed like a good idea at the time, but its era has mostly passed.

vivid condor Feb 28, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

hey so if i was between the 2060 s and the 2070 s which one would yall recommend

wicked hound Feb 28, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

@maiden sun flex machine? Get a 2080Ti, then a fake/dead PCB and a 2080Ti cooler. Almost never will SLI be better then one card. Even in workstation workloads as they don't like SLI, just simply multi GPU.

#

Also 200/3000 is 6.67%. That is a pretty low %. Not only that but that is probably the max %. Then you have the games that lose perf on SLI due to poor implementation. Then the ones that just don't do anything

#

also depends on your cpu

brisk flame Feb 28, 2020, 11:27 PM

It would only be worth it if your trying to push more than 1080p, otherwise, the increase in fps isn't worth the cost

i think the rx 480 is fine for 1080p 60fps still

For around 400 you can get a 2060 SUPER or 5700 XT

pine badge Feb 29, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

ok thats what have right now

#

in my build list

verbal cairn Feb 29, 2020, 3:33 PM

2060 isn’t the best bang for the buck

#

So yeah 2060 SUPER or 5700 XT

pine badge Feb 29, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

yeah

verbal cairn Feb 29, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

But remember that 5700 XT means better performance, 2060 SUPER is good performance and has a streaming encoder

pine badge Feb 29, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

what makes 2060S different from 2060

#

like I know its better performance but what exacly changes

#

I'll go with the 5700 XT in that case

verbal cairn Feb 29, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

2060 super is significantly better than 2060

#

And 5700 XT is significantly better than 2060 super

#

5700 XT sometimes has driver problems though. AMD’s current driver situation lets say is debatable

#

You might want to wait a few days to see if anything is improved
