Bored tho

#

So what paint should I use

arctic phoenix Apr 3, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

hydrochloric acid

boreal turret Apr 3, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

Ok I'll update when I'm done

wicked hound Apr 4, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

Depends on the paint as well paint thickness. Thin paint job with mosy paint types won't insulate it much. However a thick job with some type of paint can cause more insulation then desired

boreal turret Apr 4, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Is hydrochloric acid too thicc?

plucky gyro Apr 4, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

1660ti and 1660 super is their a big difference?

boreal turret Apr 4, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

FR tho would white hydrodip work for GPU and aio

wicked hound Apr 4, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

Can't hydrodip the fins afaik. So can do GPU shroud, but that's it

boreal turret Apr 4, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

Yeah I was thinking of painting shroud then getting a custom backplate, but the fans might look a little odd. Is there a easy way to paint the fans?

mystic shadow Apr 4, 2020, 3:18 AM

#

idk

ember imp Apr 4, 2020, 4:52 AM

#

@plucky gyro not really

#

Few FPS difference

#

Super is better value

#

Cost much less with similar performance to the TI

hard wren Apr 4, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

you can spray paint fans if careful

boreal turret Apr 4, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Wait what am I saying I meant Plasti dip 🤦‍♂️

hexed forge Apr 4, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

I wouldn't use plastidip on a gpu or aio

royal copper Apr 4, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

hydrodip?

hard wren Apr 4, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

dont hyprodip/plasti dip the fans

wicked hound Apr 4, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

Nor can you really do that to an AIO

#

Thin coat of paint is probs your best bet

#

So if I have a G-Synch Monitor from 2018 and an AMD GPU, is there no way I will get more than 60hz refresh rate out of monitor?

#

Because I have to be using G-Sync to enjoy the refresh rate over 60hz, am I right about that?

torpid garden Apr 4, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

G-sync will drop the monitor's actual refresh rate to <60 hz when your gameplay drops below 60hz.

Anyone know if it's worth saving up around $100 more to go from buying a 2060s to a 2070s?

oak lake Apr 4, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Ok, thanks for the information. I'm still not sure if it's possible for me to push past 60 fps. I have a Dell Alienware AW3418DW 34" and an AMD RX Vega 64. It is a little disappointing at the moment that I dont get that smooth framerate that I notice my friends with matched gpus and monitors have.

rigid crag Apr 5, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

Ok 🆒️

wicked hound Apr 5, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

2060 KO should really only be bought for workstation stuff. It's cooling is garbage compared to other AIB cards at that price

vital zephyr Apr 5, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

so

#

does AMD still have terrible drivers?

wicked hound Apr 5, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

Mixed bag. Also depends on AIB too. For example Sapphire Pulse 5700(XT) had video port issues, I think it was anything but HDMI would be glitchy with black screens and such (so goodbye freesync cuz no DP). Idk if that's been fixed now. General AMD drivers I havent heard issues of for a bit tho

#

I gotta 480 8gb

ember imp Apr 5, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

AMD drivers are hit or miss

#

Some people haven’t had any issues with them

#

Some people have had to return the card with how many issues they had

#

Personally I haven’t had that many issues

#

A couple of black screen crashes here and there but nothing major

#

Although I can’t use any gpu monitoring software like msi afterburner while I’m using DisplayPort or my screen with flicker

#

So that kind of sucks

#

But other than that drivers are fine for me

#

Just realized that convo was like 10 hours ago

soft quarry Apr 5, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

I currently have an AMD card and even though I'm getting an Nvidia card I haven't had many problems with the AMD drivers besides a few issues that were easy to fix

lone pond Apr 5, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

so im playing a game i play a lot and just now my graphics card is going insane with usage surges and the fan speed is really high and its never had this problem before

royal copper Apr 5, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

well you want to fully utilize your gpu when playing games

#

you can always check task manager to see if there are any background processes taking up the gpu

oak lake Apr 5, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

...give me the sequence calculations... NOW!

granite juniper Apr 6, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

also setting a custom fan curve with afterburner or something might help with the fan speed

rigid crag Apr 6, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

Anyone know if nvidia is ever going to restock this card?

wicked hound Apr 6, 2020, 10:58 PM

I think the 580 8gb would be good since its like 160$ or 170$. if you can spend a little over your budget I believe the 1660 Super would be better however

acoustic ginkgo Apr 7, 2020, 3:16 AM

I admit I want a 2060. But unfortunately the 1660 Super is what's in my price range. But it should still be a good card for someone who's content with 1080p gaming and isn't looking to dip into the most demanding titles out there.

tough ledge Apr 7, 2020, 12:08 PM

#

Good morning folks, I recently bought a 27" "QHD" monitor from NewEgg, and I am supposed to change the display resolution to 2560x1440, but the "Intel HD Graphics" card on my desktop computer only goes up to 2048x1152. I think I need to replace it, but I am bewildered and overwhelmed by the options. So, I have two questions: 1. Can I just go with any budget priced graphics card (for me, that is <$75; for example, "MSI GeForce GT 710 DirectX 12 GT 710 1GD3H LP 1GB 64-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card")? (Please bear in mind that almost none of that descriptive text means anything to me). 2. If not, could someone describe the "bare minimum" requirements for a QHD graphics card? I am not a gamer, mostly use this computer for doing videoconference meetings (I am an educator), watching movies, reading, etc. Thank you!

spice prawn Apr 7, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

@tough ledge is your current machine something you have assembled yourself?

tough ledge Apr 7, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

No, it's a Dell optiplex 7010 that I bought on NewEgg.

#

Here is more info: Processor: Intel Core i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz; Installed RAM: 16.0 GB; System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processory.

spice prawn Apr 7, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

@tough ledge does your specific version of the 7010 come with a displayport connector on the back?

#

https://storage.tweak.dk/Hardware/HDMI vs DisplayPort: Hvilket er bedst/DisplayPort-vs-HDMI.jpg <- left is HDMI

tough ledge Apr 7, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

Yes, it does. One display port, and one "DVI" (but not an HDMI port).

spice prawn Apr 7, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

are you using displayport at the moment or?

tough ledge Apr 7, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

Right now I have a cable that is DVI on the computer end, and HDMI on the monitor end.

spice prawn Apr 7, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

does the monitor have a Displayport input?

tough ledge Apr 7, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

Yes, it does. Also, I was wrong about the cable: it's Displayport on the computer end, and HDMI on the monitor end.

spice prawn Apr 7, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

hm

#

let me guess, you are currently limited to 1920 * 1200 ?

#

reason i keep asking about this, is the following info from Intel about the GPU that is in your cpu

#

For 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors the maximum supported resolutions are:

DisplayPort 1.1 = 2560x1600 at 60 Hz
HDMI 1.4 = 1920x1200 at 60 Hz
DVI (Single-link) = 1920x1200 at 60 Hz
VGA = 2048x1536 at 75 Hz

tough ledge Apr 7, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

Interesting! You're close: I'm limited to 2048x1152. So does that mean I could just buy a new cable, that is DP on both ends?

spice prawn Apr 7, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

so IF you have a displayport to displayport cable, you might be able to forego getting a new graphics card

#

i would say it is worth trying to ask around if someone has a cable you could borrow for a quick test

tough ledge Apr 7, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

Thank you! Great advice: I'll do that. Much appreciated.

spice prawn Apr 7, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

You are very welcome :)

#

no need to spend more money than you have to :)

tough ledge Apr 7, 2020, 1:44 PM

so the safe bet is going with something that doesnt require a PCI-C power plug

boreal turret Apr 7, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

Or you could do what I did to my old pre built and replace both psu and gou

#

Gpu

mystic kindle Apr 7, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

What GPUs will even hook up to that MOBO though? I don’t even know what it’s running. But he’ll need a new PSU and GPU just to make sure there’s enough power.

spare relic Apr 7, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

Well, nearly every GPU these days runs on PCIe x16 slots, not AGP or PCI

#

That is

#

Except for my All In Wonder Radeon 7500

mystic kindle Apr 7, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

So his best bet is to just replace the MOBO, GPU and PSU then?

#

Bc that MOBO has to be severely outdated by now..

spare relic Apr 7, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

No, it has a PCIe x16 slot

#

From what that above picture shows

#

The blue horizontal thing

mystic kindle Apr 7, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Right, just saw that. I’ll have to ask him if that’s what his looks like.

spare relic Apr 7, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

In that picture, there is a card plugged into the PCIe slot below it, and that would need to be moved

mystic kindle Apr 7, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Thanks. I completely missed that.

spare relic Apr 7, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

What CPU/GPU does it have? What RAM type and speed?

mystic kindle Apr 7, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

I’d have to ask. I have no idea, I’m assuming whatever came stock in it. He did say he just bought more RAM tho. But I don’t know what type.

spare relic Apr 7, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

Lots of things to investigate

mystic kindle Apr 7, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

Well, I shall be back then. 😉 thanks for the info so far. I appreciate it.

spare relic Apr 7, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

Yer welcome

spice prawn Apr 7, 2020, 5:16 PM

IF it is stock-ish

#

its a sandy/ivy bridge intel

#

aka, 2nd/3rd gen

spare relic Apr 7, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Oo ic

#

Just a little older than mine, when it comes to CPU

#

From the picture the PSU looks like it was made by the same people as mine was

#

It might be 280-300 watts

#

Without power cables for higher wattage GPUs

mystic kindle Apr 7, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

Ahh..

lone pond Apr 7, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

what gpu do you guys recommend for a Ryzen 5 3600

rigid crag Apr 7, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

Well that all goes off budget. I could say a 2080ti but I'm certain that's not what you were asking

normal hawk Apr 7, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

What's your budget @scenic storm

scenic storm Apr 7, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

probably in the 400$ range

soft quarry Apr 7, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

For $400 if you want to go the Nvidia route you could get either a 2060 Super or a 2070

scenic storm Apr 7, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

right now i have an amd Radeon rx 580

normal hawk Apr 7, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

The 5700 XT is what I'd get if you stayed amd. But they have driver issues.

rigid crag Apr 7, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

Best performance: 5700xt
Best reliability and functionality: 2060 super

wicked hound Apr 7, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

2060S if you want to do recording / streaming. If not then 5700XT should be about as stable now

cyan vault Apr 7, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

20.4.1 fixed everything

#

I have 0 problems

#

And yeah, if streaming go 2060s

#

I just streamed and while maintaining high fps it was kinda pixely at times

violet kite Apr 8, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

Okay so here we go.

#

I recently bought a VR Headset and I'm looking to also buy a 2080 ti. Did some smart investing over the passed 8 or so months and got solid returns.

Anyone have any experience with what would be the best brand to buy? I'm thinking an EVGA or an Asus STRIX.

torpid garden Apr 8, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

I'd go with an EVGA because of their best-in-industry warranty reputation and wide range of cards from the "budget" lmaorisitaslol 2080 ti black edition, to the liquid nitrogen OC targeted K|ngp|n edition.

If you plan to play around with bios flashing or shunt modding, I'd go with an asus strix/matrix.

violet kite Apr 8, 2020, 12:20 AM

Any comments on Super vs TI?

#

I hear some people saying that the Super is just a gimped TI.

torpid garden Apr 8, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

2080 super uses a different die - a TU 104 chip with cut down cores, ROPs etc. Yep it is - though it's still a very capable card.

#

Here's a great thread comparing various cards, the "power limit" is the main spec to compare, ignore the base/boost clocks for the most part.

#

Goodness, you are knowledgeable on these cards! I've never bought this far into 'cutting edge' before. And may end up reinvesting my money and waiting till towards the end of the year to buy one.

#

Do you think they'll go cheaper or stay at their current pricetag?

#

And as another point of reference, I was very distantly interested in a Galax one, but shyed away from it because it's more of an "Apple" of the GPU market.

rigid crag Apr 8, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Well they might drop in the end of the year slightly because nvidia is releasing their 3000 series lineup so even if they don't drop you'll be able to get more for your money then

#

And ya forks knows a whole lot of stuff about everything😉

violet kite Apr 8, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

I'm just looking to turn my system into a long-term PC. It's already most of the way there right now and is really well taken care of.

#

A well-binned 9900k pairs very well with a 2080 ti.

rigid crag Apr 8, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Definitely 👍

violet kite Apr 8, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

Especially for 1440p VR.

rigid crag Apr 8, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

For sure you'll get that with a 2080 ti😂

violet kite Apr 8, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

I already get it with my 2070. :L

rigid crag Apr 8, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

Lol yep

violet kite Apr 8, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

I'll keep my eyes peeled for pump and dump deals. I know they tend to do stuff kind of like that right before dropping new cards, but I usually was looking at mid to mid-upper tier cards at those times.

rigid crag Apr 8, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

Ok sounds good 👍

violet kite Apr 8, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

I know it's also kind of a default nogo on CPUs.

#

But are used GPUs something that is worth looking into, or should I just totally steer clear if I have the money?

#

Oof, this looks like an amazing deal.

📎 firefox_Wgj1NTkUPZ.png

#

Same price as the EVGA card I'm looking at, has better clock speed and another fan.

torpid garden Apr 8, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

Haha, I just have a similar setup myself and I did a lot of that kind googling/research when choosing parts.

violet kite Apr 8, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

I almost jumped into a Threadripper build last year before the 2990 came out.

#

NICE CASE

torpid garden Apr 8, 2020, 12:37 AM

Lol - it's a HP MSA-70 turned upside down with some modifications and an OpenBenchtable BC-1 on top.

violet kite Apr 8, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

I've always dug the industrial techno-trash feel of completely open PC builds. Bench boards are great.

torpid garden Apr 8, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

To answer your question - I don't think there'll be huge discounts on 2080 ti's until Ampere arrives on shelves - and even then -
Buy components when you need/want them - there will always been something faster/newer/RGB'er

dense flicker Apr 8, 2020, 12:38 AM

I'm really just thinking about springing on this 2080 Strix Ti on Newegg.

Ya, I'd be down to work on that - I wanna reformat that rig to baremetal ubuntu and run everything on top through docker

Or return it if it has problems.

torpid garden Apr 8, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

On buying a 2080 ti strix - notice how there are (confusingly) 3? models of that card on the OCN thread I linked. You want to get one of the models with the higher power limit.

mighty island Apr 8, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

if you guys could trade a 1080ti for a 2080 would you?

fallow temple Apr 8, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

are there any major differences between the 1070ti and the 2070 super

mighty island Apr 8, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

20 series is more power efficient and has more features like rt/tensor/dlss

#

1070ti better raw price performance for now

#

i think

fallow temple Apr 8, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

if you were to buy one now what would you choose

mighty island Apr 8, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

well

#

last week i would've said 1070ti

#

but there's a lot of hype around dlss 2.0

#

so it might be worth going for the 2070s

#

i bought a 1080ti myself 3 months ago

granite juniper Apr 8, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

2070 super is the newer version of the 1070 ti, 1070 ti is around 2060 performance so its a lot weaker, but its a good deal if you can find it used for like 200-230

fair sorrel Apr 8, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

Any opinions on a GPU for playing.... WoW? I play at roughly 2k res (window on a 4k monitor) with a 1030 GT currently, and figure it might be worthwhile upgrading :). Not a hard core player, so something in the 5500XT - 1660 - 1650 Super is probably sufficient...

solar warren Apr 8, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

Is there a 2080ti type (EVGA, ASUS, etc.) that is known for being good or better than other 2080ti’s, when specifically looking at sli compatibility?

torpid garden Apr 8, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

Just buy the same card.

granite juniper Apr 8, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

^

solar warren Apr 8, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

Right, but there are dozens of 2080ti’s that have different MHz for boost and core clock and im not dumb enough to think that all 2080ti’s are built the same, lol.

granite juniper Apr 8, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

but triple slot cards might be a little choked/cant run one on top slot depending on the space between the pcie spots

#

gigabyte windforce is pretty good, only $1100 rn and decent cooling

torpid garden Apr 8, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Are you in the market for a pair for 2080 ti's?

rigid crag Apr 8, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

Who isn't 😉

solar warren Apr 8, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

I do two main things: Gaming and heavy video/photo editing at high resolutions. I also don’t want much bottleneck between the Cpu and ti’s.

torpid garden Apr 8, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

Assuming one is planning a dual 2080 ti build - it's certainly doable to find a custom loop or adequate spacing solution to house them.

#

One can always start with a single 2080 ti and then decide if they want the second.

#

SLI/NVlink brings its own set up hiccups - but SLI isn't the joke/meme it used to be.

solar warren Apr 8, 2020, 2:37 AM

I heard that it is a meme now, lol.

prisma imp Apr 8, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

hey i have a question about the 1660 and 1660 super

#

my friend says the super is better then the ti

#

i say the ti is better

brisk flame Apr 8, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

ti

#

is better

#

but for the price performance difference, i would suggest the super

#

assuming your gpu budget is limited to however much the 1660ti costs

prisma imp Apr 8, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

he got the super

#

one other thing

brisk flame Apr 8, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

good

prisma imp Apr 8, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

on userbenchmark it says "1660S (super)"

#

is that the 1660 super or another card

brisk flame Apr 8, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

same card

#

instead of writing out super, we like to abreviate to just s

#

so 1660, 1660s, 1660ti

#

its cleaner that way lol

prisma imp Apr 8, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

okay thank you

flat nymph Apr 8, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

@brisk flame theres functionally 0 difference

#

actually

#

in MOST modern cases the 1660s would perform better

#

due to its faster memory

#

it performs slightly worse in synthetics

#

memory is the only difference between the 1660 non-super and the super

#

and 1660 super vs 1660ti is a difference of memory speeds, slight difference in clcoks and a solid difference in the GPU itself

#

1660ti is TU116-400

#

1660s is TU116-300

wet temple Apr 8, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

what would y'all choose- 2070 super or a 1080(non-ti)

heady elk Apr 8, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

@wet temple I'd say 2070 Super

wet temple Apr 8, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

pog

wicked hound Apr 8, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

2070S is 1080Ti perf

#

So 1080 non Ti is def worse then 2070S

wet temple Apr 8, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

yeah but would you rather get some top-notch performance for cheaper or get rtx for more

brisk flame Apr 9, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

depends on where you get the 1080, and how much you pay for it

wet temple Apr 9, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

i mean true

wicked hound Apr 9, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

"get RTX for more", but you're also getting not just RTX, but more rasterization perf too. The proper price/perf comparison would be 2060S/1080 because they are in the same rasterization perf category. Just that the 2060S has RTX and a new NVENC

brisk flame Apr 9, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

1080 does get better lows tho

#

from all the tests ive seen the lows on the 2060S are either the same or way worse

wicked hound Apr 9, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

was that not a driver issue from long ago?

brisk flame Apr 9, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

how long ago? the most recent test vid i can find on youtube is 3 months ago

#

2 months ago*

#

its a terrible vid, but shows them perfoming similarly, which i would expect

#

but of course, from a price standpoint, a 1080ti vs a 2060s, the 1080ti is better at the same price, but it is used

#

so it really just depends

native grove Apr 9, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

Hows the rx5700 xt doing with bios and such still got bugs?

wicked hound Apr 9, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

It's 1080 non Ti vs 2060S tho

#

for this convo at least

brisk flame Apr 9, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

i kno, and i would say 1080 if you get a good deal and it comes from a trustworthy place

#

2060s otherwise

vague vortex Apr 9, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

2060 imo

vague vortex Apr 9, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

i mean

for a hard budget 1660 but i don't have a hard budget

#

900 can fit that pretty well

flat nymph Apr 9, 2020, 1:58 AM

you can get a 5700

flash it

ember imp Apr 9, 2020, 5:04 AM

@native grove the recent driver update fixed a lot of the issues people were having like the black screen crash

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

what do we think about a 1660ti
@vague vortex
There is barely any performance difference between the TI and Super version so

#

I'd go for a super if you were debating between the two

urban zenith Apr 9, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

How much of a difference would you say the 1660 is from the 5600 XT?

vague vortex Apr 9, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

I ended up choosing 1660s last night either way

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

@urban zenith
the 5600XT does have higher performance than the 1660

#

but the 1660S is probably a better deal than the 5600XT considering their performance isnt that far off

urban zenith Apr 9, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

Enough to justify the 50+?

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

id pick the 1660S if i wanted to save money

#

also amd drivers are kinda bad still

urban zenith Apr 9, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

Okay, I've settled on 1080p gaming, and I'm okay with 120FPS, doesn't have to be max.

#

I'm honest just playing MMOs.

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

oh nice

#

1660S should be more than enough!

urban zenith Apr 9, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

Would the 2060 be a big enough difference to take the plunge?

#

Just thinking longevity.

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

its a possible consideration

#

hmm

#

personally id still go with the 1660S since they both have the same amount of vram, but you're not gonna be using it for more graphics heavy uses in the future

#

unless you are in which case the 2060 may be more worth your while

urban zenith Apr 9, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

I mean, not that I'm aware of. I do want to be able to play whatever I want when I do.

#

But I'm just not up to date with PC gaming

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

what games do you play other than mmos?

urban zenith Apr 9, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

Uh, I played a few indie games. Otherwise the only other games I have installed are Hellblade and Darksiders 3.

#

Nothing major. No FPS or anything.

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

oh cool

#

1660S should be a good choice then

#

do ask others for input if you're still not sure

urban zenith Apr 9, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

No, that helps. I obviously see the number differences in the 5600XT/2060. But I don't know if I need bells and whistles, yknow?

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

hah that's always the question

#

do I need rgb with my graphics card?

urban zenith Apr 9, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

Practical experience and knowledge is better

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

the turing NVENC on the 1660S is a nice feature too

#

if you ever think about streaming

urban zenith Apr 9, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

Maybe for friends

limber flax Apr 9, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

that's nice

#

give it some thought!

#

if you have any more questions do ask

Any point in getting either a GTX 2060 or 1660S when pairing it with a Pentium G5400? It will definitely bottleneck, but will still run. For my work machine, which I also use for WoW (which is the only game I play aside from Eve occasionally)...

I just bought a previously owned Refurbished: ZOTAC GeForce GT 630 from NewEgg but it came without a driver. I asked cusotmer service but they gave me no useful ansdwer other than to ask here. Does anyone have a link to the driver?

Hey guys, i got a bit of an issue with my Rx5700xt, its not major but its a bit annoying, every now and then the screen goes black for like a few seconds, its not long but its super annoying and makes me lose or die in game sometimes. I tried changing the DP cable and tried every single DP port on my graphics card. Quick Note if it changes anything, I used a NZXT kraken G12 to water cool it with an AIO, also my Radeon software is up to date. Any Suggestions??

There is a clip on the end of the slot, make sure it is pressed down

The clip was pressed down yet it still wouldn't slot in. And I dont want to apply to much pressure. Dont wanna break it

Might help if you send a picture @loud sphinx

spice prawn Apr 10, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

@loud sphinx a couple of things to remember:
The card slots in at a 90 degree angle to the mainboard.
Have you checked that you have taken out the correct back plate covers?

acoustic ginkgo Apr 10, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Did you make sure you took the cover off the part of the graphics card that goes into the slot?

mystic shadow Apr 10, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

@hazy quest maybe it’s a power problem? I have those problems before, but worse. Like the computer turning completely black.

hazy quest Apr 10, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

@mystic shadow thanks for the suggestion, I actually did try that, I had a 600w evga bronze psu, I ended up swapping it for a Corsair 750w, also bronze rated, I also went onto the power settings and set the power consumption for high performance, I hoped that would fix it but unfortunately it's still the same issue, I also went into the driver and added +50% power so it can use all the power it needs, but all the same story sadly. It especially sucks with the new game Valorent, I was lucky enough to get into the beta, and it's really difficult sometimes to overcome that, because you have to be extremely cautious and aware in that game, and I just go blind for like 5 seconds and that's gg lol

#

Again, I really appreciate your suggestions

mystic shadow Apr 10, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

Maybe not just that, like a surge?

hazy quest Apr 10, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

Do you mean like its using too much power? That could actually be it, theres a bunch of video guides, none that I have watch but have seen floating around to Overclock and Undervolt the Rx5700xt

mystic shadow Apr 10, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

Yeah

hazy quest Apr 10, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

Tru, I'll look into that

#

I haven't actually thought on it before, thanks!

mystic shadow Apr 10, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

Once I tried to overclock my gpu, the computer stopped working until I uninstalled the gpu and uninstalled the graphics drivers

hazy quest Apr 10, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Woah, I've never experienced that, I did notice however, and maybe its cuz of the new drivers but the rx5700xt is somewhat unresponsive to Msi Afterburner, like I change a setting, and it forces another setting to change aswell, my rx580 never had that issue

#

Very interesting

mystic shadow Apr 10, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

Just use the afterburner to turn the clocks down, maybe

hazy quest Apr 10, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

I will try, I will also try just undervolting it, to see if that's the main issue

mystic shadow Apr 10, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

And if that’s not possible, uninstall the afterburner and click don’t keep settings, then reinstall it

hazy quest Apr 10, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

But what I think is happening with msi afterburner, is because with the new Adrenaline driver for amd gpus, you can overclock directly through the driver, but it has a strict limit, and I think that limit blocks afterburner from exceeding those limits, but who knows

mystic shadow Apr 10, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

Then try not overclocking it

hazy quest Apr 10, 2020, 6:35 PM

Tru, could be

@wind dagger if you can afford it I would get a 2060

lemme do the math brb

~300 usd

rigid crag Apr 11, 2020, 3:20 PM

So ya a 2060 lines right up

rugged zenith Apr 11, 2020, 4:58 PM

so $250 isnt a bad deal for a 2060?

oblique idol Apr 11, 2020, 7:11 PM

@violet forge I had a msi 1660ti before upgrading to my rtx 2070 super, and the 1660ti is a great budget card and outperforms the 1660 super even though it may cost more retail

@wind dagger consider flashing a 5700 up to a 5700xt too.

@rugged zenith no, they usually go for $300+ (not including tax) so it's a good deal

rugged zenith Apr 12, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

that’s wack

flat nymph Apr 12, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

@oblique idol no, it does not outperform the 1660 super

#

at all

#

the increased memory bandwidth helps the 1660 super to omuch

#

to the point where its gaster than the 1660ti

#

@wind dagger for 300 you get a 5700 and flash it, for 220-240 range you either get a 1660 super or you get a used vega 56

#

300 can also get you a 1080 but I would still go with the flashed 5700

#

2060 really only makes sense in the case where you plan on streaming or have a super weak PSU

Unless used or refurbished with pricing at the super
then never Ti

flat nymph Apr 12, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

these are some of the better models

#

pretty much but

#

even then

#

as textures get bigger with newer games

#

we're gonna see the super start to do better

#

as it has an increased memory bandwidth

#

so even same price I'd get the super

wicked hound Apr 12, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

Will textures get higher res tho? I feel like that really isnt the way to go for realism as textures seem high enough.

Hello, I was hoping for some direction... I need to order a new graphics card for my Apple tower. Right now I have an ATI Radeon HD 5770 -1024MB. I have an Intel Xeon processor. 3.46 GHz 6-core. What graphics cards can I use with this processor and operating system?

@livid heron if your not streaming the 5700 xt will give you the best performance for your money. Costs the same as a 2060 super but performs like a 2070 super

Thoughts on Gtx 1650 (non super)

granite juniper Apr 15, 2020, 5:02 PM

dont get it

#

the super is the same price, and the 1650 is basically a failure of a card unless you dont have a 6/8 pin cable on your psu

tired swan Apr 15, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

@twin crown if the prices are all weird where you live and the super is a lot more expensive, see if the rx 570 or 580 is available for a decent price

some laptops and such even lock the settings like voltage, clock speed, etc.

Question guys, I got a hp pavilion gaming laptop today. I was trying to play my game(Lotto Lord of the rings online fairly low demand) and I had it on Max and it was jumping from 30-60 everyother second with the GPU at ~20% and the CPU around the same. How do I up the usage?

The exact card depends on the case. The case specs will list maximum GPU dimensions.

PSU would be good to know too.

Going to blindly suggest a used GTX 1070 or a ~~RX 590/5500 XT~~ 1650 Super though. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have a combo question, I have AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad-core Processor, 3100 Mhz. on a AB350-Gaming 3-CF. What I need to know is, will the new GTX/RTX 2000 series video cards load and run on that combo?

#

Its a full tower case and mobo

pure mortar Apr 16, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

Nothing about that combo would make games not run, Jay.

#

Chris, generally speaking, yeah. I usually check ebay (sold listings) for prices but try to buy used gear off of computer forums I trust (TPU or HardForums). Anywhere that requires HeatWare links.

wicked hound Apr 16, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

@storm pumice It'd work, however on general anything above 1060/1650S perf will gain deminishing returns due to CPU not being good enough

the 5500xt has a little higher fps in games but the 570 has double the vram

urban zenith Apr 16, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

Question in relation to the RTX cards, I see some with Super, Ti, SC, XC, Gaming tacked on. Is there a resource or easy explanation to whats really different between them?

spice prawn Apr 16, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

there are only 3 versions of each @urban zenith

#

plain, super, TI

#

the rest are manufacturer specific marketing BS

urban zenith Apr 16, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

Hokay.

#

So buying the 2060 Super XC Gaming doesn't really mean a ton?

spice prawn Apr 16, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

at the chip level, no

#

it just means you are getting a 2060 Super chip

royal copper Apr 16, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

2060 super and 2060 super xc has very little performance diff

#

not worth extra money

spice prawn Apr 16, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

at the card level, the difference is how the card looks (basically)

#

and how much the manufacturer can convince the customer that words are worth

urban zenith Apr 16, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

Oh, I got it based on the deal. Not so much trying to get the best. I just want to interpret what I purchased now, lol.

spice prawn Apr 16, 2020, 3:48 PM

#

now, just to make it a bit more confusing

#

originally there was the 2060/2070/2080

#

then the 2070 got replaced by the 2060super

#

and the 2080 got replaced by the 2070super

royal copper Apr 16, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

they basically added super to the end of all the cards, but they are better

spice prawn Apr 16, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

and now we are in the situation where the 2070 and 2080 are slowly disappearing from retailers

urban zenith Apr 16, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

So the Super is noticeably better than normal variant.

royal copper Apr 16, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

yes

urban zenith Apr 16, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

And Ti is one step above that?

spice prawn Apr 16, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

when compared to the number variant? yes

royal copper Apr 16, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

I have the normal 2070 peepoSadSip

spice prawn Apr 16, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

as in, a 2070 super is better than the 2070

#

but, depending on metrics, not better than the 2080 that is replaces

#

the TI cards are techically above the super

#

(also, in case all of this is confusing as all heck, dont worry. it is knowledge that you cannot use for anything)

urban zenith Apr 16, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

No, it's giving me the hierarchy more or less.

#

Yes, all the added nomenclature on the card makes it sound awesome.. but deep down inside I have a 2060 Super

spice prawn Apr 16, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

aye

#

and if knowing you have the XC with sparkles model, makes you feel better? good for you

urban zenith Apr 16, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

Nah. I just liked the deal. Haha

#

NVIDIA QUADRO RTX 8000 or nothin

pseudo tangle Apr 16, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

so if im looking to get a mid range priced gpu id say anywhere from 300-600 and i want it to run high fps with pretty good graphics does anyone have suggestions that are worth my time/money?

#

$300-$600 is what I mean, I would be willing to go over if it was one that would last me a good while

royal copper Apr 16, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

a 2070 super would fit in that budget

#

the fps on high settings depends on the game but I think it could do a decent job at getting around 144fps in most games at high

pseudo tangle Apr 16, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

ok ill look into it, thanks much!

Can someone help me with a question about graphics card vs power supply?

#

I have a pc i built back in 2015. 4 screen trade desk. R7 260x is in there now. I want to upgrade the card to an AMD 5700 or 5700xt but unsure if I need to then buy another power supply. My current one is a 550w. Saw an MSI 5700 on newegg that said suggested 750w but after using the power supply calculator everything came out to only 416w. Not sure if its a risk or not to just get a 5700 / 5700 xt without changing power supply

gilded dove Apr 16, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

@visual scroll i just got a 5700 xt today and it doenst use that much, i have a 650w and it runs fine

visual scroll Apr 16, 2020, 7:55 PM

mystic shadow Apr 16, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

If you care about ray tracing, go for the rtx 2060. Feel like a bottleneck though.

#

probably upgrade your gpu @mellow kiln

#

just get the rtx, overall better bench

wicked hound Apr 16, 2020, 9:31 PM

RTX on a 2060 sucks

Get it for CUDA or Nvenc

if not, then 5700

wind nymph Apr 16, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

I need an honest opinion

#

ASUS rog strix 2080 Super vs MSI trio 2080ti , in Canada with tax it’s roughly a 750$ difference

#

I’ve gotten everything gpu is my last part

wicked hound Apr 16, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

both are overpriced

wind nymph Apr 16, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

I plan on playing medium to high settings while simultaneously streaming and recording

#

Is it worth to spend the extra money on that 2080ti? I can afford it just don’t know how big of a frame difference it’ll be

#

All parts are overpriced nowadays what can we do @wicked hound

wicked hound Apr 16, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

Just get the cheapest brand with a decent cooler?

spice prawn Apr 16, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

there is overpriced, and then there is just setting fire to money levels of overpriced

#

Hei is not referring to the first type

wicked hound Apr 16, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

tho, to be fair, while overpriced those specific AIB cards are a bit lower priced then what I first thought. But still, Smth like Gigabyte Windforce is good enough and is cheapest okay cooler I could find

proper beacon Apr 16, 2020, 9:53 PM

is the gigabyte rtx 2070 for $370 worth it?

wicked hound Apr 16, 2020, 9:59 PM

Quick question for yall..
So I currently have a Ryzen 7 2700 paired up with a rx570 for my current setup
I really want to upgrade and switch to team green

#

Any recommendations?

wicked hound Apr 17, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

depends on budget and use case. If streaming / recording then you have a reason for Nvidia. If not then go with whatever gives best rasterization perf for the money; which is sometimes AMD

uncut relic Apr 17, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

Well I'm mainly use it for gaming and not really streaming but I wanted the ray tracing feature for some of the games I play

wicked hound Apr 17, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

RTX is a gimmick and will stay a gimmick for many years to come. It has a long way to grow before it should be actually recommended. Looks are minimally improved, often with surfaces being horribly done (ex: Wooden doors becoming basically mirrors), for a major perf decrease

#

Even when future games come out, current gen RTX will be too weak to be properly used

dreamy laurel Apr 17, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

Uh no

normal hawk Apr 17, 2020, 4:00 AM

fair sorrel Apr 17, 2020, 4:00 AM

I don't know about a gimmick, but we definitely won't see it used as heavily until we get hardware that has better performance. Anything to date is little more than proof of concept.

normal hawk Apr 17, 2020, 4:02 AM

#

I dunno. Minecraft rtx is peak performance

fair sorrel Apr 17, 2020, 4:02 AM

the 5700xt is quite a bit more powerful, however AMD has a lot of driver issues.

lone pond Apr 17, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

Couldn't find the specific 5700XT

#

Still is better memory better then more clock speeds?

#

Or should I get one with higher clock speeds?

dense flicker Apr 17, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

a CPU i have from 10 years ago goes to 3ghz, but that does in no way make it better than a current gen CPU

#

same goes for GPUs

#

(im pretty sure brainlet )

#

dont worry about the vram and clock speeds as much, look up videos on performance in games you care about

#

so you can see the types of FPS youd be gettings

#

thats whats most important

#

or, if the use is not for gaming, look up benchmarks for software you use

lone pond Apr 17, 2020, 5:39 AM

Ahh ok

Thanks

dense flicker Apr 17, 2020, 5:40 AM

wicked hound Apr 17, 2020, 6:16 AM

Memory bandwidth and architecture still matter when looking at video memory performance. Even then, average consumer wouldn't see much of a difference in memory perf given how large the perf difference of the GPU die is

This is 1599 vs the msi trio/Asus being around 1730

Is there any difference? Or is that good for literally 150$ less with tax

Latest 5700xt driver fixed a lot of the issues people were having

#

I haven’t black screened a single time with the new drivers

dense flicker Apr 17, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

check their boost clocks

#

but tbh its a 2080ti, its gonna be a powerful card anyways

#

not sure how that price translates into USD, but it sounds cheaper than the other 2080tis youve found sooooo

wind nymph Apr 17, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

Think 1391 usd vs 1285

dense flicker Apr 17, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

seems about on par with other 2080ti prices here

wind nymph Apr 17, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

I was set on msi gaming x trio

#

But seeing the gigabyte one slightly cheaper has me wondering

#

Trying to justify spending 150$ extra for the same card for maybe a 2-3 frame boost or maybe just better temps

#

Well also the rgb

#

Gigabyte is kinda just black but I think I should be good with how many fans I’m adding slowly😂

There are risks involved tho so keep that in mind

#

rx 5700 xt is on sale for $340 rn

#

on dell

#

idk if the deal is still going on

twin crown Apr 17, 2020, 4:01 PM

#

Should I get rx 580 8gb?

abstract bluff Apr 17, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

i have one its very nice

#

but

#

it depends on your preference

#

@twin crown its for mid tier gaming but you shouldnt have a problem

#

i upgraded to the rx 5700 xt but i enjoyed my rx 580

wicked hound Apr 17, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

1650S is a better deal the 580. Tho, realistically 570 is the best deal. Barely any worse then either of which, esp after an OC, for $110 as opposed to $160 - $180

Anyone here got a second to help with troubleshooting?

#

Deal or no deal?

wicked hound Apr 17, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

no, KO has poor cooling and should only be gotten when using it for the specific workloads that use the modded 2080 GPU die

mellow kiln Apr 17, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

Video rendering would benefit right?

torpid garden Apr 17, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

Lol what - it's a 2060 with a pretty standard EVGA dual fan cooler.
2060 doesn't put out much heat.
But if you want something better, go for the xc ultra for $20 more

#

Not really, what kind of rendering?

mellow kiln Apr 17, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

Davinci resolve, currently videos render in about real time

wicked hound Apr 18, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

The GPU die is fine, but memory and VRMs have really thick thermal pads

#

considering for $320 you can get a fair bit better in terms of cooling, you might as well unless you need the "quadro" aspect of the 2060 KO

My dad has wanted to build a pc for a while(like years) but never had the chance to and I want to help him but I need the right gpu because I want him to have the very best he can for his money

lament stag Apr 18, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

budget?

granite juniper Apr 18, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

yea what budget/what you using it for

lone pond Apr 18, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

I have no idea yet we haven’t gotten that far and he wants to game likely at 4K if possible

mystic shadow Apr 18, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

I suggest 1440p gaming, as that’s what a lot of monitor’s at

#

If you want 4K, look for low FPS

rugged meadow Apr 18, 2020, 3:47 AM

#

my budget is ~$1000-1100 and i already started ordering the parts but the not gc yet, is the 2060 super a good choice?

brisk flame Apr 18, 2020, 3:52 AM

#

sure

#

i assume you already know what else you plan on buying, right?

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:01 AM

#

Yes you might even be able to get a 2070

#

Want me to make you a list?

#

@rugged meadow

#

Is that with kb and m or nah

rugged meadow Apr 18, 2020, 4:03 AM

#

thats what i have as of now

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/42Nwp8

#

same thing but i marked the cpu as purchases

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

You can get a cheaper rgb ram such as t force for 80 and a cheaper nvme same storage for 30 less

rugged meadow Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

d

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

So you have some room for it as well

#

That money could be used for the 2070

brisk flame Apr 18, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

well, you have made good purchases so far

#

yeah, ram is overpriced lmao

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

I agree you did really well

#

Just overpriced several things

#

You don’t need 2 144hz monitors

#

U just need one for gaming the other is mostly to monitor discord and stuff

rugged meadow Apr 18, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

i wasn’t really worried about the rgb part of the ram but naed gave me a list of ram that was compatible and i just matched the part numbers and that’s why i have that

#

i don’t actually plan on getting two of those monitors

#

they’re kinda placeholders, i just know i want two monitors

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

Ok cool cool

#

Then you can just get 3600 MHz ram for 85 btw

#

And all ram should be compatable with the board

brisk flame Apr 18, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

thats not a bad monitor for the price tho

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

Sassy take over I trust you I gotta go

brisk flame Apr 18, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

so you could get one of those

#

this is the kit i had originally

brisk flame Apr 18, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

yeah those

rugged meadow Apr 18, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

the reason i went with the 970 evo was because one of my buddies told me you want like name brand for your boot drive because it’s more reliable or something

#

i didn’t really understand it but i figured he knew what he was talking about

brisk flame Apr 18, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

crucial is basically name brand

#

its really about who makes the dies, not the pcb

ember sparrow Apr 18, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

should i get a rtx 2070 super or rx 5700 xt

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

5700 Xr

#

Xt

#

Does better like everything and does

ember sparrow Apr 18, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

i mean

#

im prob not going to use rtx

#

and the drivers are more stable

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

Yep

ember sparrow Apr 18, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

but is it actually faster

#

like clock speeds

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

I mean it’s really up to you they are both great just what you perder they perform on Pat to one another if I’m not mistaking

rugged meadow Apr 18, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

and i would like a fully blacked out ssd because nearly everything else is black so i had this originally before the evo

i have a amd r7 370

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

I would get the 2070 super just to be safe because 5700 xt has a few minor issues

ember sparrow Apr 18, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

rn

unborn spire Apr 18, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

What’s your cpu

brisk flame Apr 18, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

yeah, that one is good too @rugged meadow

i have a r7 370 and i5 3470

how is it a bottle neck

proven terrace Apr 18, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

Guys is the 5700 xt raw 2 or sapphire better

lone pond Apr 18, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

I actually might save up longer and goto a 2070

brisk flame Apr 18, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

well, for an immediate perf increase, getting a 5700xt is fine, but another system upgrade would be suitable down the road

lone pond Apr 18, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

But me broke I don’t think that’s happening

proven terrace Apr 18, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

Get the 5700 xt

#

Trust me
