(and that is not said to mock you)

torpid parrot Mar 8, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

@ Naed what do you mean by either case, do you mean between 7 and 7 xl

spice prawn Mar 8, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

(just to remind you that "peace of mind" can be priceless to some extent)

#

i mean, either r6/r7/r7xl

torpid parrot Mar 8, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

@spice prawn do you think define 7 xl will be too big

blissful sequoia Mar 8, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

Quick questions

spice prawn Mar 8, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

@torpid parrot there is no "too big" as such

blissful sequoia Mar 8, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

Any place u can find info. On as many GPUs as possible? I saw 1 benchmark of the GPU I have in mind. But I don't trust

#

I'm trying to compare the performance of an EVGA RTX 2080 super FTW3 @minOC or stock vs. ANY 2080 ti stock

spice prawn Mar 8, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

for me personally, i generally start on anandtech, and go from there @blissful sequoia

blissful sequoia Mar 8, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

Oh ok

spice prawn Mar 8, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

but what you are asking/looking for, is not something you will find outside of niche reviews/tests

#

imo

blissful sequoia Mar 8, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

Hmmm

torpid parrot Mar 8, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

@spice prawn thanks

spice prawn Mar 8, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

you are very welcome @torpid parrot :)

blissful sequoia Mar 8, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

It's cuz I saw the 1440p performance equal a ti at stock given that this GPU is factory OC and can reach 1800-2000mhz almost constantly if airflow and temps r good

maiden sun Mar 8, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

i have a budget of 200$ for a bro's graphics card for his pc

#

what's the best card i can get for that price

#

i might be a chad and add 50$ so i could get like a 1070 ti

#

but idk yet

tired swan Mar 8, 2020, 11:44 PM

#

new or used?

#

best new card you can get for 200 is like a 1660 or for 25 more a 1660 super

wicked hound Mar 9, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

1650S or 1660S, 1660 non S is a waste

tough lion Mar 9, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

hello all, im trying to decide between the msi 2080 super gaming x trio, or the asus rog strix 2080 super. does anyone have any recommendations? thanks!

granite juniper Mar 9, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

id say depends on price

tough lion Mar 9, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

In my case, the Asus is only a little more expensive

granite juniper Mar 9, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

but you can snag a xc ultra for 694 which personally i'd go for (dont really care for looks a ton)

#

how much are they?

tough lion Mar 9, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

The Asus is like 769.99 and the MSI was like 749.99 iirc

wicked hound Mar 9, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

I only like to support Asus when the price is actually good. Apart from that I dislike Asus

granite juniper Mar 9, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

those are kinda high, paying a $50 premium for looks, but out of those id pick gaming x trio

wicked hound Mar 9, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

Also trio is $738 on B&H

granite juniper Mar 9, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

oo

#

ftw3 is 729 after mir+45 off promo

#

shame its a mir

tough lion Mar 9, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

Actually the main cause I was thinking the MSI was the RGB lmao

#

I'm big on looks ngl

granite juniper Mar 9, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

i'd go with the msi then, great card and looks nice

#

but if u wanna overclock at all, 2080 super has underclocked vram so you can easily get +1000mhz

tough lion Mar 9, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

Nah im not interested In overclocking.

#

I've heard the Asus one might be a little faster but i dont know how true that is

granite juniper Mar 9, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

then just make sure the card fits lol its pretty big https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1495159-REG/msi_g208s_gxt_geforce_rtx_2080_super.html

MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GAMING X TRIO Graphics Card

Buy MSI GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GAMING X TRIO Graphics Card featuring Boostable to 1845 MHz, 3072 CUDA Cores, Turing Archictecture, 8GB GDDR6 VRAM, 15.5 Gb/s Memory Speed, 256-Bit Memory Interface, DisplayPort | HDMI 2.0 | USB Type-C, 7680 x 4320 Max Digital Resolution, Triple ...

#

they should all run within 1-2% of each other (only exception would probably be kingpin cards), based on the clock speeds/thermals

tough lion Mar 9, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

it should fit in an h500i I'd assume?

granite juniper Mar 9, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

yeah should

#

yeah it fits

tough lion Mar 9, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

okay thanks

warped sable Mar 9, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

It is a HUGE card I have it, but it cools well. Upped my fan curves to be more aggressive and never pass 65-70° it also looks amazing and I plasti dipped mine in white

blissful sequoia Mar 9, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

2080s FTW3 is the best Graphics card withing the 2080s unless u r doing water cooling. And the looks are passable.

#

From the little benchmarks I've seen.

granite juniper Mar 9, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

yeah but the mir kinda sucks, without it the gaming x trio is like $25 less for very close thermals

frozen pebble Mar 9, 2020, 8:54 AM

#

Hi guys I have $550 What do i buy

#

current got I7-6700k with 1050ti and i need a new gpu

#

I want a good deal gpu that will get me loads more fps

#

for fortnite

#

As I wanna start streaming

#

And im always stuttering

spice prawn Mar 9, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

@frozen pebble do you have a ssd?

frozen pebble Mar 9, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

yes

#

@spice prawn

#

1tb

abstract monolith Mar 9, 2020, 11:02 AM

#

Bless I don’t know where you live but if the 2080 is in your price range go for that, but if that isn’t your best bet would probably be a 2070 super

spice prawn Mar 9, 2020, 11:06 AM

#

@frozen pebble then as has been recommended, go for whatever GPU is the highest SKU available to you

flat nymph Mar 9, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

2070 super, 2060 super, 1660 super

fallen schooner Mar 9, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

@frozen pebble evga 2070 super xc gaming would be a good choice.

dense flicker Mar 9, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

especially coming from that 1050ti lol

bronze stump Mar 9, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

I have the xc ultra 2070s

#

Good performance

solemn torrent Mar 10, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU. What would be a good pair with my ryzen 5 3600. I have a GTX 1660ti right now. I'm thinking a RTX 2070 super. Just interested in what else would pair well with it

fallen schooner Mar 10, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

what's wrong with your 1660ti?

#

that's still a decent card.

#

I have a 3700x/2070super I think they go great together if that helps you any.

solemn torrent Mar 10, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

I guess I could of explain what I'm mostly doing with my pc. Yes, you're right the 1660ti is still a great card when I'm gaming no problems at all. I'd recommend it to anyone. But, I do a lot of 3d editing with my pc. The 1660ti is not the best for rendering it just struggles and crashed a few times on me. I'm planning on making a new pc just for editing. Just making do with what I got now

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

I'm having game crashes and BSoDs on my pc but only whenever I'm playing pubg. I have an rx 5600 xt btw.

#

does anybody else experience the same issues? and also, will it help if I exchange my rx 5600 xt for an rx 5700 xt in hopes of it not crashing while playing pubg anymore

dense flicker Mar 10, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

amd is having driver issues right now

#

thats all i know

#

someone else can probably help tho lol

#

are u sure its a GPU issue?

#

have you tried to reinstall pubg?

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

I think it's a driver issue because I've heard of the rx 5xxx series' issues (symptoms) so far. also, the BSoDs and game crashes only happens whenever I try to play pubg.

ember imp Mar 10, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

Are you on the latest driver

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

but my current plan is, after I receive my exchanged rx 5700 xt and it still shows the same issue, then im going to ask for a full refund and switch to a 2060 super instead.

#

yeah

flat nymph Mar 10, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

....

#

I have no driver issues

#

have you like

#

tried Updating to newest version

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

I update my amd adrenalin whenever a new version comes out

#

I'd like to avoid reinstalling pubg if possible since I have a slow internet and that would take a ~~couple~~ lot of hours before I get to reinstall it again.

ember imp Mar 10, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

You could try to DDU your driver and reinstall the latest one

#

If that doesn’t work pubg reinstall would be the next most sane option

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

do I have to DDU even if the gpu I'm using is still the very first gpu that I installed when I completed my pc?

hexed forge Mar 10, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

when you get a BSOD what is the error code

ember imp Mar 10, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

Incomplete driver installations can happen

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

when you get a BSOD what is the error code
@hexed forge I don't exactly remember anymore, but it has the word 'graphics' on it. That part I'm fairly sure I remembered correctly.

hexed forge Mar 10, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

well next time you get the error, snap a photo of it on your phone so we can see what the code is. also do you have a pcpp list of your pc? or do you know all your specs?

#

bsod and game crash can be caused by many things lol

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

well I have a:
R5 3600
G-skill Trident Z neo 32gb 18-22-22-22-49 3600Mhz
Gigabyte Gaming OC Rx 5600 xt
XPG 8200 M.2 NVME
X570 Aorus Elite
650w seasonic focus fully-modular

hexed forge Mar 10, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

if it is a gpu issue and youre sure the physical gpu itself is fine, DDU and reinstall would be best. but also make sure its not an overheating issue, check for dust, watch temps.

#

also is your gskil triden 2x16 or 4x8?

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

is 70C temps still passable?

#

2x16

hexed forge Mar 10, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

yeah

#

ok is it in 1 and 3 or 2 and 4?

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

then yeah, my temps don't go past 70C even on max load

#

2 & 4

hexed forge Mar 10, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

thats good

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

since my mobo has those slots pointed out

hexed forge Mar 10, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

85 is the max that you want to see.

#

gpus can handle like 105 but you dont want it hgiher than 85.

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

I don't want 105 anyway lmao

hexed forge Mar 10, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

and yeah thats correct

#

i was just making sure as that was the issue a friend had 😛

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

I can feel the gust coming out of my exhaust at 70C and it's already unpleasant feeling

hexed forge Mar 10, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

okay so a DDU and reinstall like megugao said would be my next suggestion as well.

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

I'll try to do that but I already have an rx 5700 xt coming in two days. hopefully I can use the upgrade as well.

hexed forge Mar 10, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

but to go further we need to know exactly what codes you are getting

#

okay

#

let us know 🙂

midnight elk Mar 10, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

I have a while to return the rx 5600 xt anyway so I'll have a few chance to test out whether one is better than the other, driver-wise

regal plume Mar 10, 2020, 5:43 AM

#

Not sure if you guys would be able to help, i recently upgraded to a ryzen 7 3700x and kept my 1080ti but my 2d benchmark scores are almost half of what they were with my 6700k. Any idead?

merry yew Mar 10, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

hey guys i have a question is it reasonable to put a ryzen 9 3900x on a b450 tomahawk with an rtx 2060 and 16gb or ddr4 ram?

cyan vault Mar 10, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

No

#

Unless you need more cores

#

@merry yew

merry yew Mar 10, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

but its 12 cores

cyan vault Mar 10, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

Yes

#

I mean if for gaming its unreasonable

wicked hound Mar 10, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

Doesn't seem like a gaming machine tho due to CPU/GPU combo

cyan vault Mar 10, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

True, but it would be nice to know

#

@merry yew what is the machine being used for

pallid kite Mar 10, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

2060Super or the 2070, which ia a better buy if they are at a $10.00 difference?

better in what way?

meshify c is nice but more $

that is however 88 usd

combodeal at microcenter @lone pond ?

lone pond Mar 10, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

yeah

spice prawn Mar 10, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

yeah, those i can obviously not compete with here :)

#

@lone pond keep in mind, any bit over 300 usd that you are paying for a 2060 is overpriced

#

so, have a good hard look at the local microcenter for GPU's

#

and also, keep in mind, onboard wifi might be the way to go, IF you can find a board

lone pond Mar 10, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

big discount

spice prawn Mar 10, 2020, 8:50 PM

because those start at 85

#

that is VERY overpriced @lone pond

yeah lol

https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-2060-06g-p4-2066-kr/p/N82E16814487488 <- that is the price that the KO cards should be at

lone pond Mar 10, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

found one at microcenter for 305

#

295 after rebate

spice prawn Mar 10, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

good :)

#

with that in mind, the rest of your list looks fine

rigid crag Mar 10, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

For the whole rtx lineup are any of the other brands better then the straight up Nvidia card or are they all basically the same.

granite juniper Mar 10, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

depends on price/card

#

but msi has some pretty nice cards, same with evga

#

FE are kinda like on the cheaper end for cooling, dual fan

#

and usually dont have sales

rigid crag Mar 10, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

I was thinking the nvidia 2070s vs the Evga xc ultra version

#

The evga one costs more so I wanted to know why

#

And by fe do you mean founders edition?

cyan vault Mar 10, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

Yes

granite juniper Mar 10, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

yeah

#

the xc ultra has a mail in rebate+sale that makes it $5 more, if u dont wanna go through the hassle of a mir then i'd get this one https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1543395-REG/gigabyte_gv_n207swf3oc_8gd_geforce_rtx_2070_super.html

nocturne dagger Mar 11, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

some games cant fully utlize older games because they arent that intensive

wicked hound Mar 11, 2020, 3:08 AM

#

Some games are just not going to work properly with fully utilizing the PC. Take Quantum Break, had a bug for a very long time where it'd only run at something like 2/3rd of the refreshrate due to a broken vsync issue that couldnt be disabled. Some games are single core only and thus may be limited by the single core performance of a CPU.

unreal elm Mar 11, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

Is gta v one of those games?

#

I saw someone achieve 145 framerate average with my current card and im just curious as to why it isnt reaching that

wicked hound Mar 11, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

GTA V is also just whack
disable in game vsync. If Nvidia card then goto Nvidia control panel>manage 3D settings>select GTA V>turn on low latency, turn off shader cache, turn on vsync if you want (Nvidia one, not GTA one)

gray vapor Mar 11, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

GTA V is also more CPU bound than GPU bound

#

Most open world games tends to rely more on more cores/threads

#

Which is why most of the time for the recommended settings was 2nd, 3rd and 4th gen i7's

midnight elk Mar 11, 2020, 10:47 PM

I have a question

#

So my rx 5700 xt finally arrived today

#

And when I used it, I experienced some bottlenecking while playing pubg

#

I have a gigabyte gaming oc rx 5700 xt and a ryzen 5 3600 OC’d to 4225mHz @ 1290mV

#

I don’t think I should be having a bottleneck issue

#

Can someone ping me along with their reply so I can backread later? Thanks

wat r ur specs @midnight elk

midnight elk Mar 12, 2020, 12:13 AM

650w seasonic focus

X570 aorus elite mobo

#

And the aforementioned parts above

cyan vault Mar 12, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

What is being bottlenecked

midnight elk Mar 12, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

The gpu

#

My frame rates while playing pubg on ultra is at 64 fps flat

#

It was at 90+ when I was using my rx 5600 xt

lucid whale Mar 12, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

so i've got a budget of a maximum of $250-300. used, refurbished, or new does not matter; what gpu should i upgrade to? i've got an rx 58 8gb rn for reference

tawdry zephyr Mar 12, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

guys which rtx 2070 super brand should i go with

tired swan Mar 12, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

@lucid whale if you can stretch it to 310, id go with a 5700, but if that is as high as you can go, id go with a 5600 xt for 275

ember imp Mar 12, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

@tawdry zephyr evga makes some great 2070 supers

mellow kiln Mar 12, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

@lucid whale depending on your psu, vega 56 is also not a bad choice for under $230

#

also 1070s on ebay are going for real cheap these days

tawdry zephyr Mar 12, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

so 5700 xt is also good?

#

But what brand?

ember imp Mar 12, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

The Powercolor red devil and sapphire nitro+ are some of the best 5700 XTs

#

If your looking for a cheaper model the sapphire pulse is good

royal copper Mar 12, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

sounds like they fixed the 5700xt drivers so ye, just get one that has good cooling

tawdry zephyr Mar 12, 2020, 7:24 PM

thank you boiis

your budget places you quite firmly in 2060 range

sage mountain Mar 12, 2020, 7:48 PM

raven kestrel Mar 12, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

ok i noticed the 5700xt is a bit more but it competes with the 2070s i have heard has amd fixed there issues

spice prawn Mar 12, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

if you have more budget, then ofc you can get more performance

raven kestrel Mar 12, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

but i have found some 5700xt for like 400 415

sage mountain Mar 12, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

A decent 5700xt (sapphire pulse) is around 390

raven kestrel Mar 12, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

ohh

sage mountain Mar 12, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

If that is within ur budget, for sure

raven kestrel Mar 12, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

like i said feel free to go a bit over

#

do you know if the driver issues are fixed

sage mountain Mar 12, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

I'm not sure, my friends who have a 5700xt have never had problems after the first month

spice prawn Mar 12, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

personally, i have not seen enough about it to trust it.

sage mountain Mar 12, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

Others still have problems on reddit

#

Sooo I'm not sure what to tell yoy

raven kestrel Mar 12, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

Ok so for now 2060s but if its fixed 5700xt

tired swan Mar 12, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

there was just a driver release which seemed to fix a lot of the problems people were having, at least according to hardware unboxed's polls on youtube, but this was just recently recently released so there hasn't been a lot of time to test everything yet

ember imp Mar 12, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

I have a 5700xt and the latest drivers fixed most of the issues I was having before

#

Some people are still having problems but personally I have found the new drivers to be relatively stable

sage mountain Mar 12, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

I'd feel confident saying that in the next few months, the majority of issues will be fixed and at the end of the day you'll have a faster gpu if you opt for the currently "riskier" 5700xt

#

Over the 2060s

#

Out of curiosity, what issues were u having before latest update @ember imp

ember imp Mar 12, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

Random black screen or green screen crashes followed by a automatic reboot

#

I’ve only been on the new drivers for about one and half weeks but I haven’t had that issue anymore

sage mountain Mar 12, 2020, 8:10 PM

That's nice

Isn't that under like 180$?

I want something higher end than that and just perfectly under 270$

I've never weighed the performance of 1000 series cards higher than the 1060 6GB

runic trail Mar 13, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Oh

#

Well a GTX 1070 performs better in almost all games listed here: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1070-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1660S-Super/3609vs4056

UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 1070 vs 1660S (Super)

Based on 789,460 user benchmarks for the Nvidia GTX 1070 and the GTX 1660S (Super), we rank them both on effective speed and value for money against the best 635 GPUs.

#

And the 1070 is a step down

#

So I'm guessing the 1070 Ti is a lot better

spare relic Mar 13, 2020, 3:38 AM

Probably a bit

What are your thoughts on vertical gpu mounts

dense flicker Mar 14, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

I have one

#

my temps are good

#

never hit over 70 on load

#

i idle 40-50 with the fans off

#

i think vertical mount is great because it hides the generally more ugly part of your motherboard and displays your nice looking graphics card

#

its especially good if you have RGB near the fans like a strix card

#

only thing is, if you plan on having more than one PCIE device, youd need to get a case that has a vertical mount slot separate from the main pcie slots

#

youd also need a longer extension cable to wrap it around the other cards

Reseat the gpu and un plug it

royal copper Mar 14, 2020, 11:19 PM

Idk about that specific card but usually the rgb on anything has a default setting even without software

If it’s not turning on at all it could be something else, you can try reseating the gpu

is it good to push a rx 570 4gb to 100% usage while gaming

royal copper Mar 16, 2020, 7:48 PM

totally normal @river wadi

#

while gaming you want it to be using all it's power, if it isn't than the gpu is being bottlenecked

If the 2070 is more then $410 then it's overpriced. The 2060S is $400 and is basically the same performance

#

Just a note for that. Answering the question now, it depends on the cooler itself. On the 5700xt for example a 2 fan card (Sapphire pulse) easily beats out basically all 3 fan cards except for a couple.

granite juniper Mar 18, 2020, 1:50 PM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aML25Vu49aY even the aero doesn't do terrible against a 2 fan card, don't think any 2070 should be reaching more than 75c normally unless you have terrible airflow, so single fan models should be fine

hi, i have a question. so ive had my pc for about 3 years now and it ran games great with my 1060. i then upgraded to a rtx 2080 super this last december and when i started gaming the fps was crazy high. recently though ive been experiencing drops like noticable. i had a friend help me with his expertise and we could not come to a direct solution. in benchmarks it runs great but in game it doesnt work at all. examples. on rainbow six siege, i got like 230-250 fps on high settings. and i know this is a bad one but when i was playing minecraft i was getting around 340fps on the max settings now i cant even get 100 with some of the lowest. in cam and task manager it says my cpu is using 100% sometimes and my gpu never passes 30. im just worried something i s wrong. also if this is the wrong channel for this if there is even a channel for this my bad. i couldnt find a reliable source online, thanks.

royal copper Mar 20, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

sounds like a cpu bottleneck

main delta Mar 20, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

thats what i saw on online

royal copper Mar 20, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

1060 to a 2080 super is a very significant upgrade, if you didn't upgrade the cpu aswell you are likely to be bottlenecked

#

what cpu do you have

main delta Mar 20, 2020, 4:49 AM

#

i7 6700k

royal copper Mar 20, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

yeah, looks like that could be it, especially if your cpu usage is often at 100

main delta Mar 20, 2020, 4:50 AM

#

yeah i plan on upgrading by the end of this year

#

ill keep my gpu but change mostly everything else

hexed forge Mar 20, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

you can benefit from upgrading but also I would check for dust and maybe try reapplying thermal paste

#

if it was running well before and randomly stopped doing so, it could be that the cpu is reaching temps faster

main delta Mar 20, 2020, 4:54 AM

#

i can do another dust clean

#

maybe but me and a friend did a cinema test

hexed forge Mar 20, 2020, 4:54 AM

#

did you change out thermal paste? idk how long ago you built your pc

main delta Mar 20, 2020, 4:54 AM

#

no i did not

#

3 years ago

#

in the cinema test my cpu temp just steadily climbed but never got above about 55

#

we ran it multiple time s

it could run higher in more demanding games though. idk. it doesnt make sense that it woudl just randomly start performing worse with no cause

main delta Mar 20, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

idk like i said siege and other games like so were running fine before

royal copper Mar 20, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

unless there was a framecap, undervolting, etc.

main delta Mar 20, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

i ran a game in ultra everything and was getting a higher average on a more intensive map than a map that was less intense on my normal med. settings

#

my framecap is either unlimited or around 200

#

or 144

#

but in siege its unlimited

royal copper Mar 20, 2020, 4:58 AM

sounds like me in overwatch lol

#

I get same fps from low-ultra settings cuz of my cpu

main delta Mar 20, 2020, 4:59 AM

#

in overwatch i run ultra

#

i get about 160-200

so this whole thing is just a mystery to me loll

wicked hound Mar 20, 2020, 7:49 AM

#

With having a 6700k and 1080Ti I can say that usually the CPU shouldnt be pegged hard

#

I wouldnt be surprised if it's from a crummy Win update

I'm no expert, and this may be a dumb question, but did you upgrade to a higher res monitor or change any other settings in games?

no i have 2 144hz monitors, my main is a newer one and the settings i keep the same

and if i ever change them its usually lower

Looking for some input. Half way in the market for a new graphics card. Current card is a 1080ti with the kraken g12 for liquid cooler (got it from a buddy out of his custom loop). Debating between the 2080super or 2080ti. 1440p 155hrz monitor. Not sure which to go with

Hi I have a question. If I purchase an rtx 2060 (MSI GeForce RTX 2060 DirectX 12 RTX 2060 VENTUS XS 6G OC), I would download drivers directly from NVIDIA right? It's not like other card from amd where you go to the manufactures website for the drivers right?

#

I have an xfx rx 570 and I downloaded my drivers from xfx's website

#

but I don't see the same thing with NVIDIA cards

#

so I'm guessing they work differently

spice prawn Mar 22, 2020, 8:52 PM

for both amd and nvidia cards, you download drivers from amd or nvidia respectively @dim ferry

depends on a bunch of other factors, but normally. no.

hmm interesting. i figured the same. however in a great majority of games (destiny 2, rainbow 6, etc) my gpu is only running 50-60% and only getting about 140 fps when i should be getting much more with a higher gpu %

lower the detail etc settings in one of the games

Well you're not going to get a 1080ti new so you need to take that into account. Also, As I'm sure we're all aware of the 5700xt was having driver issues which may or may not been entirely fixed. It rly depends on the price you can get the 1080 for

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 1:33 AM

the gtx is for 320€ from amazon and the rx5700xt is for 359€

and somehow the GTX is NEW as they say

Well the 1080ti outperforms the 5700xt in most cases so if you can trust the seller I would go for that one

and as you can see @north wolf, the other variants/models are still way more expensive

#

aye

#

which makes me wonder

cyan vault Mar 23, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

@rigid crag 342 usd btw

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

because the german market is really big

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

Wdym @cyan vault

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

and it would not be the first time they have been the first to "know" something

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

i know it is cool some times

cyan vault Mar 23, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

That is in eur, in usd its 342$ @rigid crag

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

Ok but how does that make it used?

#

Nvm lol just read it

#

Brain fart

#

I thought u said used the first time

#

My bad

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

so you guy say GTX is better ?

#

Even for cyberpunk ??

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 1:55 AM

#

we cannot answer that

#

because we dont know the actual performance of Cyberpunk yet

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

actually yes

#

wait

#

i will search for it

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

http://puu.sh/FnLOi/939fa49ac1.png

#

above is the Zotac

#

http://puu.sh/FnLNR/f1bd8a4df7.png

#

above is the MSI

#

the zotac is fairly heavily OC'ed

wicked hound Mar 23, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

MSI is just using TDP pretty sure

#

Zotac might actually be using power consumption

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

remember, 1000 series works a bit different in that regard Hei (vs 2000 that is)

wicked hound Mar 23, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

FE edition

📎 missing-image.png

#

TDP is 250w too

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

the FE originally has a listed TDP of 250w indeed

#

@north wolf if you can, i would say: Buy!

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

I second that ^

wicked hound Mar 23, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

I would take a guess that Zotac is listing max power consumption rather then TDP, but idk for sure

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

not unlikely

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

https://www.amazon.de/GeForce-Optimized-Interlaced-Grafikkarte-11G-P4-6393-KR/dp/B071XP4MBS/ref=sr_1_8?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1QR417S7KBFPQ&dchild=1&keywords=gtx%2B1080%2Bti&qid=1584923818&sprefix=gtx%2Caps%2C290&sr=8-8&th=1

#

ther is another

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

The question now is not whether to buy or not but which one to buy

wicked hound Mar 23, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

Sad thing is a cheap upgrade for me would be SLI 1080Ti as I already have one

#

almost want to buy that SC Black edition

#

despite SLI dying

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

yah dude ther is so many of then

#

m

#

but i cant take a 3fan GPU cuz of my case

#

is is 3mm small

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

well, to be fair, the zotac version is quite chunky

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

For sure 😂

wicked hound Mar 23, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

Tho doesnt Zotac have issues with VRM cooling?

#

or smth of sorts?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

only RADEON have issues

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

@north wolf wrong.

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

for some reason they cant fix thier issues

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

also wrong.

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Lol

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

i have a bad expirence

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

which is fair.

#

and it is understandable.

#

but 1 experience does not equal everyones

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

i have now rx480 and it have som scarry flickering SOMETIME

#

the last driver was ok

#

but now I AM DONE

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

So ya, get that 1080ti then lol

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

finally i found it

📎 unknown.png

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

According to that you would definitely meat the requirements with that card

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

so with the 1080 ti i will be in the safe zone

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

Yes

#

What is your cpu?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

Intel core i7 6700

#

3,4ghz

#

4 on oc

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

That would also be fine for the time being

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

requirements does NOT equal good performance.

#

and you asked for performance guesses.

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

yah.. actually

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

there are plenty of examples of requirements being okay and the game performing like a limp noodle

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

True

#

But given that its not out yet we can't really know

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

correct

#

i have something for you (people in general) to think about

#

is cyberpunk going to be released on the next gen consoles?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

lol

#

no

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

Idk really anything about it

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

i think

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

why not?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

well it is comming in seb,

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

It might. The new Xbox seems to be packing some power

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

and?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

and i dont think that new gen console is coming this year

#

not after corona mess

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

They are

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

they are coming this xmas

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

Supposedly

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

come heck or highwater

#

why do you think i ask @north wolf ?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

guy's we dont know what god i
Preparing for us in April

#

i think they will not be fully ready at the next xmas

#

you know than consoles are made in china

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

and that part is still not why i asked about it:)

#

so before your pants get all twisted up about that, can we skip to what i asked about?

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

I want to know 🤔

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

yah you mean about the console lunch date ??

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

no

#

is cyberpunk coming to next gen consoles?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

oh

#

yah good question

#

but still say no

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

it is

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

why

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

why not?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

how much space dose cyberpunk need

#

100+++

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

but that is still not the reason i asked :)

#

you originally asked about the performance of a specific GPU in cyberpunk

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

why did u asked then:]

#

yah

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

i am having you look at something we know (the console specs)

#

and try and get you to put 2 and 2 together :)

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

the gpu in the ps5 is similar to a GTX 1070 isn't it ?

#

so did i understand from thier explanation

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

the next gen xbox console has a APU that has about the horsepower of a 1080ti

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

lol yah XBOX is acctually a pc

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

so is the ps5

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

but with the mask of console

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

and the current xbox

#

and the ps4

#

nothing has changed there

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

hmmm

#

but one think is changing

#

the capacity game need

#

look at COD MW

#

lol it need nearly 200 gb my guy

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

space doesnt have to go up as such

#

you are forgetting that the consoles have one very big advantage over pc

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

?

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

the devs know exactly how fast they are

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

aaaah

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

meaning, they can do a LOT of tricks in regards to compression and such

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

Yep

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

that make alot of sense

#

that is why the have nearly 60fps

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

consider this: if you take a pc from 2013/14 and try and run something modern on it

#

how is that going to work for you?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

bad

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

are the current consoles bad?

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

Ok well I gtg get some rest. Thx again naed for coming over and helping out. I'll read up on this conversation tmr 😂

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

@rigid crag have a good one, and thank you for the notify :)

rigid crag Mar 23, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

Np lol

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

^^

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

but back to the console question

#

are the current ones bad?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

for today games still not bad

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

the current gen consoles are from 2013/14

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

they are nearly 8 years old

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

aye

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

i see

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

people have a tendency to forget what the hardware can do when you "know" what the hardware is

#

the biggest advantage (the flexibility of the hardware) is also the biggest negative for the PC

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

well yes but actually no

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

yes, it is absolutely fantastic that you can use a 2 core cpu with a 2080

#

but effing heck, the use of it will be bad

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

well look how old is the RX 480 ?

#

4 years

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

close yeah

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

i can still play the witcher on HIGH setting wit 50-60fps

#

with only 4gb of VRAM

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

aye

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

it is ok

#

but as a PC gamer i want more

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

and that is fair :)

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

Becuz i CAN have more

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

again, that is fair

#

not trying to take that away from you. far from it

#

just trying to make you look around and perhaps make you see where you can draw conclusions about things :)

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

make more sense for me now

#

ty tho

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

you are very welcome

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

^^

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

i am still very puzzled about those 1080 ti prices thou

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

lol yah becuz of corona they can sell to many now

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

normally, stuff like this happens when a new part is semi-close

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

how much dose it coast

#

in ur region

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

but there are no rumours about that

#

i am just north of you in denmark

#

its still close to its normal-ish price

#

meaning, close to launch price

#

so, 700-ish euro

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

well the RTX 3000 are coming soon

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

our taxes are higher

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

right

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

no,

#

that is just fanboys having wet dreams

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

lol

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

the only part that we know is coming is the enterprise HTPC part

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

i thaught it will come max. at may

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

because it will be used in a scheduled supercomputer build (i cannot remember which one)

#

we would have heard about it by now then

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

well i see that on reddit

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

GDC or close to it, would have been a good/normal time for the info about it

#

yes, there are also flying pigs on reddit

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

but not sure AGAIN cuz of corona

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

i am not saying it isnt going to happen. just that i would be VERY surprised if it does happen.

#

and that is with ignoring Covid19

#

because obviously that will push the availability of just about everything.

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

lol witing for the 3 gen so the second gen get cheaper so i can buy the 1 gen

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

but it doesnt have to push the announcements

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

well again all GPU-CPU is pruduced in China

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

just about all of it

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

exactly

lone pond Mar 23, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

So is an upgrade from 1660 to 5700xt worth or should I wait and eventually get something better

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

well yes but actually no

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

@lone pond if you want the performance, then yes

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

but the 1660 is still ok for today game's

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

aye

#

not saying it is not.

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

for 4K is really not

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

obviously.

#

well, kinda

#

there are titles where the 5700xt can do 4k just fine

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

only the 5700xt - gtx 1080ti and above can nearly keep up with the 4K

#

yah not all titles

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

does that answer it for you @lone pond ?

#

or do you have more questions?

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

look at control even RTX 2080ti is having some prolem's to deal with 4K

lone pond Mar 23, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

That’s all for now I’m still going to consider

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

5700XT will still be useable for the next 3 yers

#

for sure

lone pond Mar 23, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

I think it’ll be overkill for the time being I only have a 1080p 144hz monitor lol the 1660 is doing that fine

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

but only 1080p gaming

lone pond Mar 23, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

Something about me wants to upgrade it now tho

spice prawn Mar 23, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

@lone pond then save up for now

#

and look at other places to upgrade your system

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

make sense

lone pond Mar 23, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

U right

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

upgrading ram from 2333mHz to 3200 will give u 20Fps more

#

as an example

lone pond Mar 23, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

Would 3200 to 3600 give me anything crazy? Lol

north wolf Mar 23, 2020, 2:55 AM

Have you tried plugging it in :p

glacial notch Mar 23, 2020, 5:43 PM

is it worth it getting an old rx570 on ebay

dense flicker Mar 23, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

yes

#

if you can find a rx570 8gb for like $100-$120

#

its a killer card for 1080p gaming

#

value wise, that is

glacial notch Mar 23, 2020, 5:51 PM

Thats gorgeous 😍

magic pebble Mar 24, 2020, 3:23 AM

after 2 hours polishing I am done for the night. Most of it is finished. There are some weird spots behind the acrylic that I cant do anything about unless I take it apart. I may deal with that at some point.

gpu artifacting after cleaning it with canned air (i had the canned air nozzle close up to the gpu) did i damage it? So far the graphics just look bad and i also dont get crashes or bluescreens and the fps is normal
Someone help! Do i gotta replace the card
