I'm thinking of picking up one of those Zotac cards. I actually think they're fairly gaudy while vertically mounted but look really nice with standard mounting, and throw a lot of light around the case.

I'm trying to find the best gpu for a friends planned build off ebay. Ik we recommend the 8gb 580 a lot. The budget is low 100 dollar range. Should I just look for a 580 or do any other decent cards fall im that range

spice prawn
#

its a solid enough card

#

but it really depends on what else is available second hand for you

gtx 1650 on b and h are pretty cheap these days and there much more stable than a rx 580 (i own one) @rigid crag

#

I need to upgrade my graphics card ( Current: 1050 ti ) What should I get for 1080p gaming?

zinc vale
#

gtx 1070 at 4k?

flat urchin
#

Not a great combo, assuming that it would be similar to my experience with a 980 ti and a 4k panel. You'll be able to play a lot of older games with the settings turned down but I would never put together a gaming system with a 1070 with 4k in mind.

ember imp
#

Back when the 1070 came out maybe at low settings. Now tho forget it

#

If you want a 4K gaming pc now the minimum you should get is a 5700xt/2070s

Big no at 1070 with 4K, I have a 4K monitor paired with my 1070 and it chokes.

RX 470 to Vega 56? Worth it or hold off?
Processor is an FX-8350.

dense flicker
#

how much are you paying for the vega 56?

#

@wicked stratus

wicked stratus
#

@dense flicker Was just wondering if it was worth the upgrade. It seems to be $260 on Newegg. Might be too big for my case, though.

wicked stratus
#

I only have an FX-8350, though, currently.

#

& my RX 470.

#

lol Those 3 are all more than that Vega 56. ๐Ÿ˜›

Don't even think about it

trying to decide RTX card or AMD....uuug, though my GTX 1080 still performs well and holds me over so I still have that

#

Would the 1660 super be decent for light 3d modeling, video editing and web/software development? Trying to turn my older PC into a decent workstation for my brothers and dad.
The specs it currently has is Ryzen 2700X, GTX 1660 super, and 32gb ddr4 ram.

@inland heath sameeee

Matter of preference

ember sparrow
#

uh it really depends if u want to or not

imo

#

Both screens are 27in

Then 1440p

#

1080p on a panel over 24" looks bad

You can see the pixels

#

Oh ok

#

Thanks

ember sparrow
#

@bitter jungle my screen is 23 .-.

normal hawk
#

I have a 27" 1440p and 1080p. 1080p doesn't look bad lol

Let me rephrase: it looks best on screens 24โ€ and below

If your load temps are fine, then yes

dose anyone have driver issues with the rx 580

Not necessarily driver issues but I've had to send my particular one back twice now

What would be a good graphic card for this build?

inland heath
#

Whatโ€™s the budget

blazing merlin
#

Those specs give me a budget build feel, I would say something along the lines of a 5500xt

#

Unless that's too expensive

#

If you want to take a step down on price then maybe an rx 570?

dense estuary
#

@inland heath @blazing merlin
Yes very much a budget build.
All of that power supply and case was $350.
Would like to be around $150-200 on graphic card.
I'm not opposed to looking at used graphics cards either

inland heath
#

Iโ€™m new to pc building as well and have just ordered my parts. What is the purpose of your pc? There are different choices for different purposes

#

I agree with @blazing merlin

dense estuary
#

@inland heath
I am a graphic designer.
My main focus is
Photoshop
Adobe illustrator
After effects
autoCad
With some occasional gaming.

inland heath
#

@dense estuary. Then maybe look at the 1650 super

rigid crag
#

You could probably fit a 1660 super in the if you go used

flat urchin
#

A used 980 ti or 1070 might be easier to find, if you happen to have a beefy enough PSU for them.

muted marsh
#

I was able to get a rx 570 used for $70

bleak solar
#

i want to get the gigabyt aorus rts2070 super but its on back order anyon know if theyre gonna restock soon?

and if i preorder any idea on how long itll take to get?

dense estuary
#

My EVGA 600 died.
I now have a 430watt

velvet grove
blazing merlin
#

@dense estuary 430W? Immediately off the top of my head with your setup I think a 570 or 5500xt would be doable. Don't quote me on that though lmao I don't have specs in front of me at the moment

#

@velvet grove Who in their right mind puts a GT 1030 in a gaming pc???

spare relic
#

;o

#

cheap

#

but how much did it cost?\

blazing merlin
#

@velvet grove as I was recommending to zro, maybe a 5500xt (I think it's similar in performance to the 580)

wicked hound
#

With such a cheap PSU you'd need to look into rail specs

#

I doubt it can do 430w on 12v rail

dense estuary
#

@blazing merlin
When my EVGA 600 started acting strange, all I had was a 430 watt from an old computer. Since I'm really not running anything I thought it was safe. I was eyeing a 570 just from a budget standpoint. I am looking to upgrade the RAM to 16GB soon as well.

#

@wicked hound
The 430 is a temp until I can either get EVGA to send me another 600 or I can buy a larger. I'm running the intergrated graphics right now

wicked hound
#

What exact PSU model?

#

@dense estuary

dense estuary
#

Crap

wicked hound
#

The 600 one

#

not 430

dense estuary
#

@wicked hound
thermaltake tr2 430w

#

EVGA 500 br
I thought it was a 600.
My mistake

#

@wicked hound

wicked hound
#

I'd take a guess it's a lemon. Voltage regulation/ripple seem to be in spec for average BR unit

#

Tho, I would return it and just get a better PSU in general anyways

potent stirrup
#

Hey everyone. I just joined on here, so please let me know if this is the right place for questions like mine. I just ordered the XFX RX 580 XXX Edition 8GB. I know I'll see night and day difference from the nVidia GTX 580, but what kind of numbers (FPS, etc.) can I expect in games like?

#

For reference, other components I'm running:
Core i5-7400 3 GHz Quad-Core
MSI H110M PRO-D Micro ATX LGA1151
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000
Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB Boot
EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750 W 80+ Gold

#

I'm using the rig for digital art and video editing, on top of gaming (when time allows)

stiff zodiac
#

@potent stirrup well if you compare gtx 580 to rx 580

#

yeah its like night and day

blazing merlin
#

Hey @potent stirrup fun fact that's the exact card I have, and I've had to send mine back twice now

#

I sincerely hope yours doesn't act that way; I'm beginning to think I am just very very unlucky when it comes to purchasing computer hardware ๐Ÿ˜‚

rigid crag
#

I'm most likely going to be in the need of a new gpu soon. I was trying to hold out till nvidia 3000 series but I dont think I can. Which card would hold its value more, a 2060super or a 2070super.

#

Or is it about the same for both

#

Hold its value only till the 3000 series launch anyway

blazing merlin
#

If the only purpose in purchasing a graphics card at the moment is to hold off until the 3000 series launch, then wouldn't it make sense to just buy the cheapest thing you are willing to run (performance-wise)?

rigid crag
#

Thats why I'm asking. I am able to buy a 2060super rn. So I would enjoy the extra performance for the next couple months. I just want to know if I'm going to lose a good bit of its value

#

And I know nobody can say for sure I just want an opinion

blazing merlin
#

Well, I have no idea how either of those options will fare in terms of value after the 3000 launch, but let's say theoretically they follow the same percentage decline in value. Under those circumstances, they'd hold the same percentage of their initial value, but you're going to lose less (and spend less in the first place) if you get a 2060

rigid crag
#

True

#

whats a good entry level graphics card for gaming on a budget

#

im building my first pc and i dont have much money i was gonna go with a gt 710 but i realized it sucks a lot

rigid crag

well what is the most you want to spend?

And what kinda games are you trying to play?

becausemost i can spend is around a hundred and im playing fortnite minecraft and other esports games for my esports team evolve

i was looking on offer up and i saw a radeon rx 560 for 70ish

What cpu do you have?

olive ember
#

amd ryzen 3 2200g

#

my dad bought it because it was the cheapest one

normal hawk
#

The 560 would be good if it's within budget I think. Are you buying used on eBay?

im buying new on offer up

#

for 70

If you donโ€™t plan on streaming the 5700xt

stuck lynx
#

also is it even worth keeping a gt 520

#

i dont have another gpu yet

spice prawn
#

well, if you dont have anything aside from a gt 520 that can produce a video signal. you dont really have a choice.

stuck lynx
#

lol eyah

#

better question

#

can it even do anything?

spice prawn
#

desktop work

stuck lynx
#

i ran destiny 2 on it got 11 frames lmao

spice prawn
#

its not a "bad" card

#

it is just not for gaming

stuck lynx
#

yea fair point

spice prawn
#

you are aware that the card is 9 years old right?

stuck lynx
#

mhm

#

have an old system

#

e5 1602 and gt 520

#

might replace cpu with e5 2640

#

but still would need a better gpu

spice prawn
#

that is between you and your sanity :)

stuck lynx
#

hahaha yeppp

#

but im saving up some moolah

spice prawn
#

lets change the question a bit

#

"what is your intended general plan for the machine?"

stuck lynx
#

wanted to play games but im planning on using it for dveelopment

#

ive got 32 gb ram

spice prawn
#

it is up to you to decide if that is a good idea or not

#

BUT, if you are keeping it around for dev work, then, depending on dev work type, if the gt 520 doesnt limit you. Why change it?

stuck lynx
#

so i could play games and do some ML

#

but its fine for now

#

ill put up with it

spice prawn
#

then what you are doing is a combined gaming/work machine kinda

#

which is a different beast compared to a "dev machine"

stuck lynx
#

yeah true

spice prawn
#

just trying to clarify your situation/context a bit here :)

smoky reef
#

hey it seems like this convo is relevant to me too, just trying to game a little and mostly do video/photo editing without having to wait overnight to export projects. had the card i wanted picked out but it sold out and now i'm looking at the GeForce GTX 1650 SC ULTRA GAMING GDDR6 but i don't know if there's something better that doesn't break the bank

spice prawn
#

consider the vram amount

stuck lynx
#

1660 is the onl ybetter card in that price

#

^^

spice prawn
#

depending on what you are doing, that can matter a fair deal

#

BUT

#

keep in mind, more vram is NOT a direct indicator that the card is super duper fantastic

#

it all depends on your use case

smoky reef
#

can you elaborate on vram

spice prawn
#

in which way?

#

also, please note the following: there are no stupid questions, only silly answers

#

so, please feel free to ask

smoky reef
#

i just don't really know what it is or how it effects performance

#

virtual ram i'm guessing?

stuck lynx
#

vram is video ram: it is memory reserved for the rendering and other things that happen on the gpu

smoky reef
#

ohhhhh ok gotcha

stuck lynx
#

@spice prawn you could probably explain that better

spice prawn
#

nah, that is close enough :)

smoky reef
#

so would that be where it's like 1GB

#

sorry that sounds really stupid haha

spice prawn
#

yes and on something like a 1650 its 6gigs

#

that is not a stupid question @smoky reef

#

its a logical question that comes from wanting to understand

smoky reef
#

ok awesome so it's gonna process a lot faster than my current 1GB setup

#

?

spice prawn
#

and i will happily answer those all day

smoky reef
#

thanks for being so understanding!

spice prawn
#

"so its gonna process a lot faster" <- most likely, in the context of how you are asking? yes.

#

but as mentioned earlier. Vram amount is not everything

#

but yes, if your current card has 1gig of vram, just about any modern gpu will be a LOT faster

smoky reef
#

ok cool that's what i just about to ask

spice prawn
#

there are ofc exceptions, just like in any field :)

smoky reef
#

and so with all this in mind you said bsaically the only better one in the price range was the 1660?

normal hawk
#

I'm just hoping the 5700XT is a good upgrade from a 1660 super for modeling and such lol

spice prawn
#

on the nvidia side? yes

#

@normal hawk check your modelling software of choices community for info on that

normal hawk
#

True true

granite juniper
#

what software are you using?

smoky reef
#

also real quick if vram isn't everything what exactly SHOULD i be looking at

normal hawk
#

Using Blender and Unreal( mostly for world design)

spice prawn
#

@smoky reef reviews, reviews and more reviews

#

that is really the only answer that covers all of it

smoky reef
#

fair, trying to make sure i can even support these two with my power supply first

spice prawn
#

fx, lets say i dont do any gaming, but i need to have 6 displays hooked up

#

a super duper fantastic gaming card with 2 outputs is going to be useless to me

#

yes, that is a fairly "weird" (but not unrealistic) use case. But it should get the point across :)

smoky reef
#

no i definitely understand your point though

Iโ€™m struggling to find a 1660 Ti for a reasonable price; is there much of a difference between the 1660 / Super / Ti ?

#

If difference is negligible, there are plenty of Supers available in budget

spiral vale
#

@limpid jacinth just get the super, honestly. The price-to-performance is great, but if you're willing to take the performance hit, get a 1650 super. I'd get a 1650 super if I had the money, personally over the 1660 super

the 2070 still a lil over 500

#

like $525

#

they said not 500 so that's why i recommended the 2060 Super

#

@wicked hound that's preorder, so yeah you might be able to get it but when? "Expected availability: May 12, 2020"? at least the ones i discussed are in stock now so maybe less waiting

What's a good GPU CPU pairing for both content creation and gaming? I want to keep the whole build under $1000 btw.

They didnt say much for when they needed it. So meh

Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade my gpu but don't know what to buy I'm willing to pay around $350 any good options?

#

Thank you for the fast reply i appreciate you

north meadow
#

Hey this has probably been asked before. But whatโ€™re the cons of a 5700xt? And how does it do with VR?

rigid crag
#

Cons could be considered a lot of things. The fact that it lacks some of the features such as rtx and nvenc that their competition has, along with their no so great driver history.

#

As for vr, I wouldnt know. However I believe @dense flicker should have a good idea when he comes around.

dense flicker
#

vr?

#

vr?

#

what about vr?

#

cons of 5700xt:
iffy drivers
no nvenc
no ray tracing
hot

it will be a fantastic card for vr tho, it will work with any headset.

rigid crag
#

Lmao

dense flicker
#

comparable to 2070s which can def handle vr no problem

hallow anvil
#

is the 2060 ko worth what it is or is it just not that good?

granite juniper
#

2060 ko has a pretty bad cooler, unless you have usecase where the 2080 die helps (usually rendering/productivity), get a FE card or other cooler

stiff zodiac
#

is the 2060 ko worth what it is or is it just not that good?
@hallow anvil thats good for rendering/workstation related stufff but dont expect much that it will help you in game

I've got a 5700 on the way lmao my RX 580 died for the second time; I'm not running an xfx card ever again

talk with their support

blazing merlin
#

I did

#

They're sending me a brand new card I'm just going to sell it

lone pond
#

sorry to hear about xfx.. i actually really liked them back in days of the other 5000 radeon series

normal hawk
#

What are some of the brands to avoid?

faint steeple
#

some amd brand gpus. nvidia is superior

granite juniper
#

๐Ÿค”

#

amd still has good gpus, rx 5700/xt easily beat nvidia at the pricepoint

faint steeple
#

yea they are getting better but any of their lower end gpus stay away

normal hawk
#

I meant the companies like Asrock, msi, gigabyte, Asus etc

faint steeple
#

those are all great companies

#

msi could be better at gpus tho

wicked hound
#

"lower end GPUs stay away"?
Right... Give me a RX570 performer with a similair price tag for Nvidia

#

or used RX580

#

or 5600XT, 5700, 5700XT

#

You cannot just blanket term AMD as a bad option/Nvidia being better. That is very horrible advice

#

Nor can you just say what brands are good/bad overall as that changes on GPU series. As an example Asus did quite the poor show on their 5700(XT) GPUs

granite juniper
#

for amd cards never buy asus and msi doesnt have the best usually

#

for vega and navi at least, and for 570/580/590 the armor mk I is pretty bad

faint steeple
#

@wicked hound usually from my experience with amd and from friends who had amd cards the software is usually the worst part about them.

hardy cypress
#

Does anyone know if the gigabyte 5600 xt is a 6 pin or 8 pin connector?

faint steeple
#

@hardy cypress basing it off this picture it looks like an 8 pin

Ok cool thanks

Im getting a MSI Gaming X 1660, is the card worth it?

My build
Ryzen 5 2600x
16 GB corsair vengeance RGB Pro
Gigabyte DS3H B450
Barracuda 2tb HDD
Kingston 120 GB SSD
Thermal Take Smart 700w (it was cheap and i plan on upgrading alot)
Antec p6 Micro ATX

faint steeple
#

is that a whole new build?

rose agate
#

Yeah, ive only bought the PSU, case, fans, ssd and hdd so far

#

Im thinking about making a last second change and grab the RTX 2060 for like 50 more but moneys tight

faint steeple
#

hold up let me see the price of the 2600x

rose agate
#

I get a pretty cheap deal at microcenter

faint steeple
#

how much is it there?

rose agate
#

For both the cpu and motherboard

#

Let me look how much it is

#

I would like to invest in a 3rd generation ryzen but i cant afford both and older model and newer model to do a bios update

faint steeple
#

ah

#

the bios flashing isnt that difficult

balmy magnet
#

depending on board you can also flash bios using USB w/o a 2nd chip

rose agate
#

Im new to pc building, this is going to be my first build, i know a decent amount about PCs but not building itself, bios and etc

#

Cant post links but the deal is $182.90

#

It used to be 152 but i guess the prices have gone up on both the cpu and motherboard

faint steeple
#

ah

#

thats not bad

rose agate
#

Im hoping to have this as a good first pc so im asking opinions before i finish buying

faint steeple
#

I mean on newegg right now just the cpu is worth way more

untold wren
#

I got a question is a 2080 ti really worth it? I'm also not sure which one to really go for either any suggestions?

faint steeple
#

not yet @untold wren

#

wait

#

on the 14th they are announcing 3000 series

rose agate
#

Really?

untold wren
#

14th of may?!

faint steeple
#

yep

untold wren
#

oh damn

rose agate
#

So expect rtx cards to drop?

#

Especially gtx

faint steeple
#

prolly september maybe before

#

but once they come out prices will drop

rose agate
#

Dang, i may wait then

untold wren
#

I need a graphics card really bad my ati 580 keeps over heating and dying.. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ I want to go back to nvidia lol

rose agate
#

Before i buy my gpu

#

Because if thats true, i want to see if i can snag a 2060 deal

faint steeple
#

@untold wren maybe see if you could find a cheap secondhand gpu for now

#

some 1050 ti s can be cheap

rose agate
#

Also, with stock cooler. Can i slightly overclock

untold wren
#

I need it VR usable

faint steeple
#

ah

rose agate
#

Also last question, is it good to go with the Gaming X 1660 or should i wait

faint steeple
#

is it a regular 1660 or 1660 super?

untold wren
#

are the 2070's good?

faint steeple
#

I have a 2070 super and its pretty good I like it

rose agate
#

The super

faint steeple
#

does everything I want to at 1440p

#

ah the super

#

yea I just recommended the 1660 super to my friend the other day

rose agate
#

Its 260 at micro center

untold wren
#

2070 does vr too doesn't it?

faint steeple
#

2070 S supports vr yea cuz its 8 gb vram

#

the minimum for VR is usally about 6gb

#

vrm

#

vram*

rose agate
#

@untold wren are you specifically looking for ray tracing high end vr pc or like just a PC that can run vr

untold wren
#

Ummm.....

slender vigil
#

I have a 2070 Super it works dam well with vr

rose agate
#

I wish i could afford one

untold wren
#

I'm building 3-4k computer over 6 months so right now

rose agate
#

But surprisingly, the 1660 can run BF5 ray tracing, same with MW, but its not much ray tracing

#

I wish i had that budget lol

faint steeple
#

yea at low settings with it and fps isnt good with it

untold wren
#

right now I am in desperate need of a card that can do VR. I am not getting 'extra' vr stuffs just the headset and controllers

slender vigil
#

I have a 2070 Super with 2 Xeons CPUs

rose agate
#

If i had a much larger budget, i would definitly choose a 2060 ir 2070

#

But im kinda tight on money

faint steeple
#

@untold wren then I would suggest probably a 1660 super because it is cheaper until you want to decide you want to get a 2080 ti but if you want to just go ahead and get a 2080 ti then go right ahead

untold wren
#

the problem I am having is to get one with a good fan is like 1.5k

faint steeple
#

yep the price is also higher due to corona

#

maybe would be best to prolly wait

#

but I would definitely look up some gpu VR tests on youtube

#

like benchmarks

#

see what you would be best with

dense flicker
#

i heard the letters V and R

#

what are we talking about

#

@untold wren are you looking for a GPU for VR?

#

if so, what budget

#

(for the graphics card)

rose agate
#

Is the Gaming X 1660 Super good for VR

dense flicker
#

yes

rose agate
#

Just wondering since i cant find benchmarks

dense flicker
#

its comparable to about a 1070

#

which i have

rose agate
#

Nice

dense flicker
#

and does VR with no issues

rose agate
#

I should be buying one soon

dense flicker
#

which headset?

rose agate
#

Idk yet

untold wren
#

Ya I am getting an oculus quest eventually

rose agate
#

I meant the gpu lol but tbh idk yet

slender vigil
#

I have a rift s

rose agate
#

Buidling the pc is already kinda hard for me rn so idk what im getting yet

dense flicker
#

rift s is the best right now imo. better than quest for the same price

untold wren
#

it is?

rose agate
#

Not very liquid

slender vigil
#

I mean itโ€™s pc powered

#

More storage if you want better cpu and graphics card

#

Quest will get outdated later on

#

For running games

untold wren
#

gotcha.. I wasn't sure all the sites kept saying quest = best and I'm like... umm? ok

rose agate
#

I do have my eye on the Rift S though

untold wren
#

I want a VR that I don't need a lot of room for cause my VR room is 'smaller' so I can't do a full room experince

rose agate
#

If i could afford the Index ๐Ÿคค

dense flicker
#

heres the thing
the quest is desireable because it has hand tracking, its portable, it doesnt require a PC. but what they dont tell you:
hand tracking isnt fit for gaming and is buggy, you cant even cross your hands over eachother. The headset can plug into the PC, but it has often bugs and issues including needing to have the battery charged to use it with the pc. Sure its portable, but you are locked to the Oculus store and the graphics and refresh rate on the screen suck.

#

how often are you going to use VR portably anyways? like i wouldnt wanna be seen in public with a vr on my face lol, maybe thats just me

rose agate
#

^

slender vigil
#

And dont expose it to sunlight

#

Also the rift s has one extra camera for tracking

untold wren
#

ohhh gotcha. I'm going to use it at least a few times a week I'm not going to hard core use it but I really do enjoy my PSVR I just hate the blur

#

that film and crap on it

rose agate
#

I have the psvr too, vwry uncomfortable in my opinion, fun though

faint steeple
#

I would say rift S too

rose agate
#

Just gets hot easily and makes me sweat fast, and i always find myself adjusting it every second

faint steeple
#

but they are all like $700+ right now and sold out

untold wren
#

I actually was playing the ocean demo game itz, and I fell asleep with it on lol just relaxing I didn't mind the headset lol

dense flicker
#

rift s is $400, index is $1000. Rift S gives you all the same features as the index except finger tracking and the nicer screen. Finger tracking (on the index) is a gimmick, you still have button input and to grab things you still have to basically do a binary input. Not worth $1000. The screen is great, i will admit, but like, the rift s is $400. Thats a $600 savings for mostly the same thing.

Other perks to rift s: inside out tracking. you dont have to hang sensors around your room.
oculus and SteamVR store - best of both
software - steamvr interface is bad and not improving. Oculus software is great, especially dash which is available at the click of a button

rose agate
#

Ive had alot of fun experiences on psvr

untold wren
#

I was going to get graphics card and vr today but ya I can't find them anywhere

slender vigil
#

Oculus is making new controllers right now possibly like the Vive ๐Ÿ‘€

dense flicker
#

uh

#

that would be evolving backwards, no?

you mean the index?

halflife alyx is kinda hard to run

#

ive heard

balmy magnet
#

oops lol

dense flicker
#

the only thing you can do in half life alyx with the index that you cant do with other headsets is crush cans. A game developed by valve, the same people who made the index, the only thing you can do with your $1000 PC accessory is crush cans in comparison to the rift S at just $400.

untold wren
#

let me check the Rift S

rose agate
#

Atleast it confirmed Half Life 3

dense flicker
#

rift s out of stock

#

never buy for more than $400

untold wren
#

they all are but I want to see the setup

dense flicker
#

oh its stupid simple

Frick sake

hahaha

watch swearing lmao

alright

so

Iโ€™m not use to not swearing

dense flicker
#

rift s setup

untold wren
#

they take cussing seriously apparently ๐Ÿ™‚

#

I'm surprised damn is ok

dense flicker
#

download software, plug in headset, and all you have to do is draw your boundary using the controller. and thats it

slender vigil
#

I was trying to say half alyx is fun as ##ck

dense flicker
#

pls try not to avoid word filter lol

#

half life alyx is good

#

i need to finish it

slender vigil
#

Same

untold wren
#

I am doing Subnautica VR, some Anime Game VR's, some fps's etc etc I'm not into half life.. Horror VR I can't do.. I'll so scream like a little girl

slender vigil
#

...

faint steeple
#

oh yeah then the 1660 super should be fine

rose agate
#

As soon as i get a vr, its half life alyx and subnautica for me

dense flicker
#

this is Oculus Dash. At the click of a button, you have instant access to a dashboard with all your applications. I opened it up inside beat saber, it is incredibly convenient. You can also open up more physical windows and have everything at your command. Each window also acts like a touchscreen making navigation easier.

untold wren
#

Subnautica is a must try in vr lol omg

faint steeple
#

imagine typing in vr in discord

untold wren
#

I also have elite dangerous vr too

rose agate
#

Thing that sucks with the PSVR is that there isnt many big VR games on it

untold wren
#

ya and most of the games on psvr is like 4 hours to beat it

#

tops

dense flicker
#

the thing that sucks with the PSVR is that it runs on the PS4 and uses playstation move controllers and the playstation camera. lol.

rose agate
#

And jesus does that thing make me sweat. Its so uncomfortable to me, everyone says its so comfortable but god cleanpepe

dense flicker
#

lol

#

all vr headsets will do that to ya

rose agate
#

Every secind i have to adjust that thing

dense flicker
#

i got pretty hot in my rift s, but i also play a lot of expert+ beat saber which gets me moving a lot

rose agate
#

The controllers are ok, just hate the tracking so much

dense flicker
rose agate
#

I wish they put more thought into them, theyre just a pa3 copy, i literally use my old ps3 move controlers3

dense flicker
#

psvr controllers are wiimotes basically, they are not fit for VR

#

oh yeah

faint steeple
#

if I were to get vr id want a lot of games but rn I dont feel like buying a lot of games... been deciding on whether or not to buy snow runner

rose agate
#

I love rec room

#

Rec room is actually fun on ps4

dense flicker
#

thats the thing jake

#

index cost $1000. takes all ur money so no games

faint steeple
#

ye lol

untold wren
#

I think I will wait the 6 months for the vr unit ๐Ÿ˜ฆ sigh sad girl

dense flicker
#

rift s is $400 with much money left over for games, and more of them since you have access to oculus store too

rose agate
#

The first game im buying on my pc is Rust

untold wren
#

cringes at rust I tried to get into rust.....

faint steeple
#

@dense flicker isnt there an oculus subscription for vr games?

#

kinda like xbox pass

dense flicker
#

no, thats VivePort

I log in and next thing... I am a giant black guy with a *** thing lol

I originally wanted to play it on ps4 but then i realised thats a peasant mistake

dense flicker
#

not oculus

faint steeple

ah yep

rose agate

@untold wren there is censoring, you can choose blur or underwear

Rust is fun though

#

good god ya I'm not paying 700+ dollars for the oculus rift s.. geeus

#

Im like that

faint steeple
#

@untold wren id say wait awhile once the corona stuff settles down more and maybe prices will drop

#

my gpu only has the words zotac gaming in rgb

I will just get my tv and graphics card instead

Im going to keep all my led white until i get a replacement for the one stockcwhite led fan

@untold wren I know its not the same but VR chat allows you to play in desktop mode

rose agate
#

Thats still fun if you are a model creator or just look to have fun with people

faint steeple

or just like memeing around

last time I played I was just a picture of linus tech tips running around

^why i dont play vrchat

rose agate
#

Lol

#

I like how Linus has accepted the meme

untold wren
#

its not the same lol

#

I tried it non-vr and went nope

so i found a 2080 ti for 200 off what I was going to pay

so 1300? @untold wren

#

what is it?

untold wren
#

ya

#

how is 1050 TI 4gb in 2020?

grand dawn
#

plenty of manufactures that made a 4GB 1050 TI like EVGA

wicked hound

Usually overpriced on used/new markets

It's useable tho

faint steeple

If you can find them for a decent price they are pretty good @lament locust

lament locust

๐Ÿ™‚

dusky pebble
#

@lament locust They are okay for 2020 but like mentioned before they are usually over priced for the performance your getting if your looking around that price range but for more power you might want to look for AMD's RX 480 or 580 they are usually priced decently on the used market and can still hold up.

#

I have a 970a-ds3p fx motherboard, can I use two gpus a RX 560 and a evga GTX 1060 3gb ? will it be okay? or is it better with one alone

faint steeple
#

well @bleak rapids you cant use both at the same time for games and such but it probably would cause less problems just to use one

bleak rapids
#

so I simply don't use one of my gpus?

faint steeple
#

prolly. what were you wanting to do?

bleak rapids
#

get better performance

faint steeple
#

yep that wouldnt happen

#

a game can only take advantage of one gpu unless it is in SLI but the cards have to be the same and you would need a NVLink which goes in between the cards and most games dont support SLI so it basically isnt worth it

bleak rapids
#

so which is better RX or GTX

faint steeple
#

it depends. but I prefer nvidia so I would say the 1060 even though it has less vram but honestly I would go through games and check and see which games you get more performance out of

#

so if you get higher fps with the RX card then use it

bleak rapids
#

i usually run with my rx560 because it runs smoother, but with the GTX 1060 it tends to stutter way more

#

it might be a bottle neck?

faint steeple
#

then use the rx560

#

the 1060 lacks vram

#

since it only has 3 gb and the 560 has 4gb

bleak rapids
#

my 560 has 2gb

faint steeple
#

o

bleak rapids
#

I run all my games on low settings

#

I'm more of a performance than quality

faint steeple
#

then maybe with some optimization on settings on the 1060 you could get it to run smoother

#

I would also change settings in the nvidia control panel to performance

bleak rapids
#

so more sure it's not a bottleneck?

faint steeple
#

whats your cpu?

bleak rapids
#

I've gone thru alot of settings changes

#

amd fx 6300

faint steeple
#

it shouldnt be too much of an issue since its 6 core 6 thread

#

have you checked while playing a game if your cpu is under full load?

#

on task manager?

bleak rapids
#

its always 100 cpu then like 95 gpu usualy

faint steeple
#

if your cpu is under full load and your gpu is not performing as high then your cpu is the bottleneck

#

95 with the rx or 1060?

bleak rapids
#

man I wish I was rich ๐Ÿ˜‚, the rx

faint steeple
#

ah

#

and dont we all

bleak rapids
#

yep

#

I bought my pc from a friend for 400

#

its a cyberpower prebuilt

faint steeple
#

#

how much ram do you have?

#

8 gb?

if its 4 gb then that could be another reason too

#

oh

#

oh ur good

GeForce experience doesnโ€™t even pick up recommended settings for me anymore lol

dusky pebble
#

@ember remnant yeah your fine Iโ€™m running that on my pc

ember remnant
#

Ok thank you

#

@dusky pebble May I ask how much you spent on your 2080 ?

dusky pebble
#

@ember remnant Iโ€™ll check to see if I can see the price in purchased orders

#

@ember remnant I payed 619

ember remnant
#

Oh ok I could afford that , I see 2070 that cost 600 and you said the 2080 u had costs 619 so like is there a difference?

#

@dusky pebble

dusky pebble
#

Well

#

@ember remnant The 2070 to 2080 their is a difference you would be fine going either way but honestly you should look at the 2070 super because it has similar performance compared to the 2080

ember remnant
#

Yea Iโ€™m definitely either getting a 2070 super or a 2080

dusky pebble
#

It all comes down to price at this point if you can find a really good 2070 super for less the the 2080 I would go with the 2070 super

ember remnant
#

Oh ok thank u

#

@runic trail itโ€™s not terrible you would save from what I have seen close to 50 dollars and the 5700 xt does reach 2070 performance but you should be careful with refurbished items

runic trail
#

How come?

#

Like how come I should be careful with them.

odd shuttle
#

Woah

runic trail
#

Sorry, I've never bought a used or refurbished computer part.

dusky pebble
#

Itโ€™s no problem, refurbished usually means that something was initially wrong with it so you can still run into problems with it, eBay does however have a great money back guarantee depending on how much you can spend it might be better to go with a new card.

#

when are these new rtx 3 series coming out. I literally just got a 2080 super its still in plastic

#

Thought on rx 570????

#

Thoughts*

dusky pebble
#

If you want to go the route of the AMD mid tier graphics card which I suggest your better off with the 580

#

@twin crown

twin crown
#

Ok

runic trail
#

@dusky pebble Nevermind then, going with a new one. On Newegg, I get RE3, XBOX game pass (which I won't use) and Monster Hunter World. And a 20$ mail-in rebate card!

#

It's amazing.

dusky pebble
#

Very cool

#

Thatโ€™s what I like about Newegg, you can usually find a good price with promoโ€™s

fallen schooner

yes

delicate oxide
#

I need some recommendations or ideas on which gfx card use for a future build. I currently use a XFX Radeon Rx Vega 56 8GBย . I am wondering if that card can hold up 4k monitors and video. I wont game too much in it. Or is there an alternative i should be lookinh for instead?

fallen schooner
#

Can Vega 56 do 4k?
The Vega 56 generally provides good performance at 1080p and 1440p, but struggles when stretching to 4K resolution unless paired with a FreeSync display, where variations in frame-rate can be smoothed out somewhat.

delicate oxide
#

So i take it that as long i stick with 1080 and 1440, the vega 56 will last a few more years before next upgrade? And all my monitors are freesync

sand storm
#

Is a 2060 OC good?

dusky pebble
#

@sand storm Yeah itโ€™s a fine graphics card

sand storm
#

Okay thanks

severe tangle
#

Anyone know what size fans this card has? One of mine died and XFX customer support isnโ€™t doing much for me and Iโ€™d rather not strap case fans to it

warm pier
#

hello guys do u know which graphic card would fit perfectly with the i5-9400F ?

bitter jungle
#

Anywhere from maybe a 1650 super to a 2070?

#

@warm pier depends on your needs

#

And budget

fallen schooner

@severe tangle wht card is it exactly that you have.

severe tangle
#

@fallen schooner XFX Vega 56 Double Edition

#

This is a pic of my card, the sticker is off of the fan that doesnโ€™t work because Iโ€™m stupid and took it off

severe tangle
#

I'm mainly wanting those fans bc I'm not too into the solid red fans, but I do like the overall look of the shroud

@maiden sun depends on preference honestly

#

I bought the ZOTAC RTX 2070 Super Amp Extreme

maiden sun
#

i was thinking ab copping that

#

or WaIt

faint steeple
#

unfortunately I looked back at their website the other day and it wasnt up for sale

#

they ran out of stock of it

maiden sun
#

i was checkin the dual fan amp

faint steeple
#

faint steeple

spare relic

Ryzen tbh

maiden sun
#

@faint steeple

#

i found a non amp version of the 3 fan design

#

but its like 200 us more

faint steeple
#

so $700?

#

if so then just wait

maiden sun
#

oh wait no

#

800!!!!

faint steeple
#

oof

#

def wait

#

im glad I bought my gpu when I did

maiden sun
#

THATS 2080 MONEY

#

oh yeah i agree

faint steeple
#

thats ridiculous

maiden sun
#

im kinda torn between waiting to get a 2080s or on thursday just get a 2070s

faint steeple
#

what do u have now?

maiden sun
#

700 for a dual fan amp 2080s

#

the system im replacing the gpu for has a 580

faint steeple
#

oof

#

honestly

#

for that price

#

wait

#

wait a few months

#

when businesses start pickingg back up

maiden sun
#

well the price hasnt increased for this card yet

#

im pretty sure

faint steeple
#

oh

faint steeple
#

lol ok nvidia

maiden sun
#

yeah its stupid

maiden sun
#

is it worth 200 for the difference between 2080 and 70

faint steeple
#

this one is 589

#

get this one if anything

#

gigabyte is good

#

plus this one looks sick

maiden sun
#

HEI

wicked hound
#

You gain about 8% perf increase from 2070S to 2080S for $200 more. You pick

maiden sun
#

oh lol hell no

#

im getting a 2070s

faint steeple
#

but yea that one I just sent is decently priced all things considering

#

this one is $500

#

isnt newegg cuz I guess newegg doesnt have it in stock

maiden sun
#

dont want sff

faint steeple
#

yea just showing you ones that I find

#

this one is prolly best bet tho

faint steeple
#

I suppose the gigabyte one would be best for value @maiden sun they are almost identical besides from looks

#

EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC HYBRID GAMING, WATERCOOLED Is this worth it over a air cooled card?

#

for 589

inland cave
#

No

rich oasis
#

@faint steeple only reason that its that much is thats a third party seller because newegg is sold out

faint steeple
#

yep

#

people trying to take advantage

rich oasis
#

you could buy one off evga on new egg

#

practically at msrp because you get a rebate card for 20 bucks

is there anyway to find out where your graphics card is coming from before you buy it? if i would of known my 2080 was going from west coast to east coast i would of paid better shipping.. usually the shipping center ships like 3 hours from my house.

fallen schooner
#

think it depends on warehouse availability

untold wren
#

dang so there is no real way to tell.

#

my brain is going oh god the truck is going to bounce and my precious is sitting there bouncing... MY PRECIOUS! GIVES IT TO ME!!! lol

fallen schooner

lol

#

I've had items ship from a different city in my state and still take 2 weeks to get here on standard shipping lol

spice prawn
#

@untold wren generally, even if you can get a rep to give you an answer, it is just "noise". It is not knowledge you (as a non-stock reponsible person) should actually know correctly

untold wren
#

dang well it was worth a shot lol

hexed forge
#

i mean i've also had items from across the country ship in 4 days. it just depends on the situation. if you choose standard shipping (and its within the same country) you should understand that it can take up to 2 weeks. It can take less, it just depends. right now with everything going on I wouldn't expect anything within less than 1 week

untold wren
#

ya I'm getting my graphics card on friday. I was going to pay for 1-2 day shipping but usually I get it over night with ground orders so I had no idea and wasn't going to pay 20 some dollars for that when I usually get it over night anyway lol

fallen schooner
#

I wouldn't pay for any extra shipping methods at this point

#

shipping is already delayed because covid

#

thinking you're going to pay for 1day/overnight/2day and think you'll get it is silly ๐Ÿ˜„

untold wren
#

ya there is really no point since friday is around the corner anyway so

#

I saw an unboxing vid of the card and it has a ton of padding so it should be just fine. ๐Ÿ™‚

velvet rover
#

Ayo

#

I'm wonder what the nvidia equivalent to the 5600xt is?

#

Its fairly well priced where I'm at but i heard there are lots of driver issues so id like to have a wider scope on the market

spice prawn
#

2060

#

thats the card that was repositioned to fight the 5600xt at the launch of that one

velvet rover
#

Oh sweet

#

That puts me in a tough spit tho SeriousEgg

#

*spot

#

Cuz Its like 100 bucks more over here

spice prawn
#

also, keep in mind, IF you are reading about driver problems, take great care to notice WHEN that comment/post/article is written

#

drivers are not static

#

they do change over time. That is the point of them after all :)

velvet rover
#

I asked about it pretty recently in the buildapc dc and i got told to avoid it at all costs, but those guys can be fairly dramatic

fallen schooner
#

so can Naed

#

.. Did I say that outloud.

#

coming from the thing in the box, thats ... rich!
