[velvet rover]

Welp thanks for the help guys

[spice prawn]

buildapc dc <- what is this exactly?

[granite juniper]

probably discord but idk

[spice prawn]

@velvet rover you are very welcome, and please feel free to ask

[acoustic ginkgo]

Is that basic 2060 you're talking about or 2060 Super?

[velvet rover]

Yeah i use dc as an abbreviation for discord

[spice prawn]

ah :)

dc = datacenter in my mind, and that did not quite sound right :)

[velvet rover]

Basic 2060 i believe @acoustic ginkgo

[strange river]

yeah

[velvet rover]

2060 super is way more expensive here

[hexed forge]

if i recall, the 2060 is slightly better on paper than 5600, but 5600 is supposed to be better priced isnt it

[velvet rover]

Yep

[strange river]

the Super competes with the 5700 (XT)

[hexed forge]

the 5700 xt competes with the 2070

[strange river]

i was kinda right haha

[granite juniper]

the xt is the same price as the 2060S but is closer to 2070

[velvet rover]

Oh wow

[strange river]

itès normal 5700

[spice prawn]

@hexed forge the 2060 Super IS the 2070

[strange river]

Not quite but close

[spice prawn]

because the 2060 Super made the 2070 go EOL

[velvet rover]

I can find 5700xt for the same price as 2060s

[hexed forge]

eh

i mean i guess

[velvet rover]

Base 2060 btw

[strange river]

it's slightly less powerful but it is essentially a classic 2070 in terms of GPU core

[velvet rover]

Italian prices kinda zany

[hexed forge]

i got the 2070 s and i love it lol

[spice prawn]

keep in mind, this was back at the 2070/60 Super launch:

[hexed forge]

but gpu prices are at a high right now 😦

[strange river]

2060S is a great card though (source: i have it)

[velvet rover]

Ive heard a lot of good stuff about it

[granite juniper]

i love how they used street price of current price or something lmao

[strange river]

and yeah Nvidia really muddied the waters with the Super release

[viscid dove]

Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB GAMING OC Video Card is that a good gpu

[strange river]

it's a 5700 XT so yes, absolutely

[viscid dove]

alright. im new to this so idk whats good or not

[acoustic ginkgo]

If prices settle, I'm on the verge of convincing myself to go with a 2060 Super after all.

[strange river]

5700 XT is still kinda underrated because 2080S / 2080 Ti exist

but it's about as strong as a classic 2070

[velvet rover]

Its gonna be a few month by the time the market recovers i think

[viscid dove]

so would you say its better then the 2060 super?

[strange river]

Slightly yeah, since the 2060S is essentially a weaker 2070

[wicked hound]

@hexed forge iirc 5600XT is better then 2060 with driver updates by a little bit. Being also cheaper would be a better buy

[velvet rover]

But hey talkin about components for me now is kinda useless since imma be building next year lmao

[strange river]

RX 5000 series are pretty damn good

[viscid dove]

lmao same. i just wanna know stuff

[hexed forge]

I haven't heard about that. if its true thats super neat lol.

[strange river]

and yeah the current Adrenalin drivers fixed a lot of the early teething issues that Navi had

[wicked hound]

it was new drivers at release to OC the GPU and mem

[hexed forge]

im all for amd beating out nvidia. it will push both companies to make better gpus

[velvet rover]

Yuh

[strange river]

Navi is a great architecture, and rumor is Big Navi beats Turing by quite a bit

[velvet rover]

Im kinda worried amd is gonna slack off on cpus since in the low end intel is just

[dreamy dragon]

NotWD#4882 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[strange river]

F

[velvet rover]

Whut

How tho

[strange river]

I dropped an F bomb lol

[velvet rover]

Ah

[granite juniper]

smh

[velvet rover]

Earlier

[granite juniper]

:v

[strange river]

Intel aren't doing super hot in general recently

especially with mobile zen 2 still kicking comet lake's crap in

it's wild how much of a home run AMD hit with Zen 2

[velvet rover]

Yeah

I mean even before that

[strange river]

Ryzen is incredible

[velvet rover]

The 1600 af is a budget builders wet dream

But its real

[strange river]

the 1600 AF is an interesting CPU, since despite its SKU, it's not a Zen 1 part

but it's still insanely cheap for what you get

[velvet rover]

Yeah its nuts

Sadly by the time ill be ordering parts itll be outdated 😥

[strange river]

then there's the 3950X, which is basically Discount Threadripper and kicks the 9980XE/10980XE's butt at productivity and can match the 9900K in gaming

like wtf AMD

[velvet rover]

Lmao

[strange river]

even for the Canadian MSRP of $999, that's pretty damn insane

[velvet rover]

3950x costs more than my worst case scenario setup XD

About 750€

[strange river]

canadian pricing is ass

[velvet rover]

I mean could be worse

[strange river]

MSRP is $999 but it's regularly prices at $1100

[fallen schooner]

I helped someone with a build in .ca yesterday

and I agree

it was bad

lol

[strange river]

sales tax isn't even bad, it's the fact that for some reason retailers think we should be dinged on top of exchange lol

I'm planning a music production / gaming build with a 3950X and 64 GB of RAM, that those two items alone are approaching $2000

because frankly my 6-year-old stock 5820K isn't cutting it anymore

[untold wren]

ya i would of waited for my graphics card till the prices went down but my other one can't play games without over heating and i do not have a back up. luckily this ati card is under warranty so i'll get it replaced and keep it as a back up.

[strange river]

I had to upgrade my GPU because the old 760 that was in this machine died

[gloomy fiber]

Is there any card that was released in the last couple of years that has very similar performance to the 780ti? I want to know where I stand performance wise

[proud sequoia]

the gtx 1060 is similar to the 780ti anything above a 1060 is an upgrade from a 780ti

[gloomy fiber]

Alright thanks

Will a 5700xt get bottlenecked badly by a 1600af?

[royal copper]

maybe 1650 as a more current card

[proud sequoia]

yes, the cpu will bottleneck the gpu

a non xt 5700 would work better and save money

[gloomy fiber]

Ok, thanks

Which Nvidia card does the 5700 perform close to

[visual scroll]

I just put a power color 5700 into my computer andni noticed I have two 6 pin and two 2 pin power connectors. Do I connect as many as possible to make sure I fill up each port? There's an 8 and 6 connector on the card

[rigid crag]

Yes.
They usually make it so that the 6 pin and 2pin can link together for a 8 pin. And then just use the other 6 pin

[acoustic ginkgo]

So, considering I have a laptop Geforce 1060... I imagine I will see a massive performance jump once I move to a new card. WHether it's a 1660 Super or a 2060 Super.

[fallen schooner]

yes

[lone pond]

Guys I have a pc with a GeForce 1080 and the graphics are so foggy on warzone

[royal copper]

check if you have dlss on

also check res

[vivid condor]

hey guys im trying to help my friend build a budget pc. he has a intel i5-9400f and were trying to find a good gpu for like $250. any suggestions?

[proud sequoia]

is he open to used cards or just new?

[vivid condor]

new. were in kind of a rural are and its hard to find used stuff, but he also just wants new

[proud sequoia]

Ok, i would then I would recommend the GTX 1660 super or the RX 590 for that price range

[vivid condor]

okay cool thats what i was thinking but i just wanted to check with the pros lmao

[still basin]

is there a difference between the 2080 super xc ultra and the 2080 super xc gaming from evga?

[strange river]

15 MHz extra boost clock on the ultra gaming

although the specified boost clock doesn't mean a whole lot anymore since I've seen my ventus oc 2060 super boost up to 1995 MHz

pretty much all modern GPUs will boost up to 2 GHz given good enough thermals

[humble wasp]

Hopefully receiving my GTX 1660 SC Ultra tomorrow... excited to get off this 960 GTX!

[still basin]

is the cooling going to be particularly bad because of the difference between the two?

[hollow raft]

Will a ryzen 5 1600 NON AF be ok with a 2060 super or a 5700

[strange river]

@still basin nah, it's the same cooler, it should handle the job well enough

[still basin]

ok sweet!

thanks!

[dreamy raft]

@humble wasp I don't have the Super model, but I got the MSI 1660 6GB OC up from a 760 - world's different - love it

[fallen schooner]

oh yeah that's a huge jump lol

[cursive ginkgo]

Will a Ryzen 5 3600 bottleneck a 2060 s

[strange river]

no

[cursive ginkgo]

Ok thanks

[dreamy raft]

@fallen schooner it's been 4 years since I bought the PC, and I just got it back after buying my wife a surface pro to do all of her photography on and let me have my "gaming" pc back LOL - I'm upgrading the few parts that can transfer to a new build when I've got the funds to replace the motherboard/cpu/ram

[fallen schooner]

excellent!

[hollow raft]

Will a ryzen 5 1600 NON AF be ok with a 2060 super or a 5700

[dreamy raft]

@hollow raft I can't see why it wouldn't work, as for bottlenecking or hindering the performance, I can't say personally - I'm getting back into PC specs and upgrades and haven't researched much in way of proper usability - what's the reasoning for the combination?

[humble wasp]

@dreamy raft I ordered the evga had a good price, I imagine it will be a lot nicer and I can actually turn up the Geforce Experience for a lot of these new games lol.. comes tomorrow pretty excited.

[sand storm]

What's better, 2060 KO or 2060 OC? and what does KO and OC mean? thanks in advance

[nimble arrow]

Bruh imagine buying the Nvidia Founders Edition

Smh my head

[proud sequoia]

@sand storm the oc means it comes factory overclocked, the ko has a slight overclock i would go with the 2060 oc personally

[sand storm]

okay, thanks

[granite juniper]

2060 ko has a pretty bad cooler

[severe tangle]

Currently in the process of repasting my Vega 56, any recommendations?

The thermal gunk is super dry and it’s pretty hard to get off as well

[proud sequoia]

did you try rubbing alcohol?

[severe tangle]

I’m using a bunch of 70% isopryl alcohol wipes and it’s still a pain to get off

[proud sequoia]

then idk what to do

[severe tangle]

Hmmmm ok well I appreciate you trying to help anyways

[torpid garden]

Be careful scraping paste off the interposer

[fallen schooner]

rubbing alcohol 90%

I wouldn't use 70

[severe tangle]

I don’t have anything other than 70% so I’ve just been dabbing off some of the stuff on the wipes before I use them

Also does this look good enough as far as getting rid of the older paste goes? There are a few things that got around as you can see but I’m not sure how safe it would be to power on with that stuff on there still

[gilded field]

Got my new card installed, and it does NOT like my second monitor. I didn't think to look for a DVI spot on this card, and hurried to buy it. So i ended up using a HDMI cable out of the card into an HDMI - DVI adapter, since this monitor only has DVI and VGA inputs. It was working at first, then started power cycling on its own, and now it's off, and nvidia control panel wont recognize the monitor. I assume I need a new monitor..

[fallen schooner]

@severe tangle very nice

thats perfect

[dreamy raft]

@gilded field try unplugging the monitor and plugging it back in to see if you can reset the monitor

[gilded field]

I'm sure I can. But the issue is this monitor may not be supported with the HDMI/HMDI-DVI adapter. I've always ran it on DVI cable because my cards supported them. but now DVI is being phased out and i didn't notice my new 2060s didn't have a DVI slot.

[dreamy raft]

I'm using the same kind of set-up, but I don't have the new rtx cards, possibly can't support the new display type, sucks you have to by a new one

[maiden sun]

@faint steeple the gigabyte 2070 sold out

[faint steeple]

Oof

When you wait you lose out

Sometimes

[maiden sun]

yeah i get paid in 2 hours so ineed to find a good card on am or newegg like soon

[torn lynx]

hey gamers

i just bought 3 broken gpus from a guy who knows nothing about pcs for 40$, i found out i got a 580 and a 290x in there and they both just needed a bit of tuning and now they work, prooooofiiiiit!!!!

[maiden sun]

lol

[torn lynx]

W

[maiden sun]

f for the other homie

[torn lynx]

big f

[maiden sun]

is the taichi 5700 xt worth it for 439$ plus a 20$ rebate

[north grail]

i have a 1060 3gb gtx

MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Super 8GB GDRR6 256-Bit HDMI/DP Nvlink Tri-Frozr Turing Architecture Overclocked Graphics Card (RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio)

this graphics card good?

[maiden sun]

yes

[faint steeple]

I have the 2070 super

its pretty good

ive heard the performance difference between the 2080 super and the 2070 super isnt much though

[north grail]

thanks for reply to me bro i appreciate it

[faint steeple]

look at videos of comparisons to see what you would rather have

on youtube

and watch reviews on it

[placid rover]

GEFORCE RTX 2060 SUPER founders edition
is this one good

[faint steeple]

founders editions tend to be on the bit warmer side (only a tad warmer) compared to other brands (Zotac, EVGA, etc) but they look cool.

[uncut relic]

hi

[humble wasp]

Ugh, why does UPS literally do half their job.. and leave my package at the USPO. Ugh I won't get my GPU today if that's the case lol, they are horrible in this town.. it'll probably get delivered across town 😦

[placid rover]

UPS is just the secondary shipper not the primary

as I work for ups

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 Super GAMING OC 3X 8G Graphics Card, 3 x WINDFORCE Fans, 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6, GV-N207SGAMING OC-8GD Video Card
How is this GPU

[rigid crag]

Pretty good

Thats a good card

For a 2070 super

[placid rover]

Okay I am just going to get it 💯

[rigid crag]

Sounds good.
Enjoy!

[humble wasp]

Argh, I should have sprung for whatever extra expedited shipping, if it doesn't come with the mail around noon I can always go to the Office, they used to just meet me in the back and hand me my packages that arrived late, just needed to show my ID... not sure about now with covid though.. meh oh well.

That's a great card btw... I ordered the evga 1660 SC Ultra.

[placid rover]

I am sorry 😦

[fallen schooner]

I wouldn't pay for expedited shipping, not at the moment anyways

not with everything being backed up the way it is

[hallow isle]

I'm looking to get a laptop with a 5600m, has there been any news on their delayed release?

[humble wasp]

All good, just wish I knew if the mail carrier has it or not he usually gets to the house around 1pm... UPS page just says "5/6 Package transferred to post office".

[proven heath]

I have the following specs:

Ryzen 7 3700x

Gtx 1060 3GB

16 GB 3200 RAM

Is the GPU bottlenecking my CPU?

[proud sequoia]

not really, the gpu will be working at full while the cpu won't be at full

[royal copper]

well the 1060 seems to be the weakest part, it shouldn't bottleneck in cpu intensive tasks tho

[granite juniper]

it wont be bottlenecking but it is a weaker card

[royal copper]

if you don't need a powerful gpu for what you are doing that is fine

[proven heath]

Thanks Guys!

or Girls!

[royal copper]

np

[proven heath]

What if when I play my games its constanly dropping frames and stuttering?

[proud sequoia]

do you have a good wifi connection?

[spice prawn]

@proven heath what games?

[proven heath]

R6, Overwatch, CSGO, and Fornite mostly.

[spice prawn]

most likely just your GPU that cannot keep up with the settings you are using

[proven heath]

i have most of them on low

[valid glen]

Good morning, I may sound dumb for saying this again, but can anyone dm or call with me giving me instructions on how to install a graphics card?

[dense flicker]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLv2s23mMQ

[humble wasp]

@valid glen If mine comes today I will take some pictures and message you if you'd like... can't wait to rip this 960 GTX out lol.

[valid glen]

Thank you very much both of you @humble wasp @dense flicker

[dense flicker]

ye, sorry i cant really explain in voice chat, i think YouTube/watching somebody else do it is the best way to learn

its too hard to describe without visuals

its not a hard upgrade tho, so dont get too scared lol

that is, if u arent going vertically mounted. those screws never go in right lol. but youre probably not going vertically mounted so dont worry about it

[rigid crag]

Lol

[humble wasp]

My tower is pretty hilarious lol, it's an old PowerMac G5 case I gutted out, somewhat modified.. just wanted a lot of space and this thing is a beast hehe... I never finished off the front looks so sloppy lol.

[royal copper]

I used to have a g5, or maybe it was g4

[humble wasp]

Someone was tossing it out and I saw it and thought that's a pretty sweet tower so they let me take it. Gutted out all the Apple hardware, actually sold off a few pieces folks needed, not for much but I couldn't get rid of the huge fans, still have them boxed away.

Yep GPU just came, heard the dog barking lol... I'm going to Install now... Love NewEgg always been my favorite store!

[vague jolt]

So I was playing Monster hunter world on my main screen and videos on my second screen. I will find my game start to tear. I have a 2080s 8gb ram. So idk I it’s the speed I’m lacking or the vram. I can play the game solo fine. But I want to do more then just play the game. How can I fix this?

[spice prawn]

playing videos in a browser @vague jolt ?

[vague jolt]

Yea. YouTube or prime video.

[spice prawn]

try and use a different browser

actually, hmm

before then

what mode is your output set to in the game?

fullscreen, borderless? etc etc

[vague jolt]

HDR mode

[spice prawn]

since i dont play Monster Hunter, could you send me a pm with a screenshot of the settings screen?

[vague jolt]

Yea I’ll do that later today if that’s ok.

[spice prawn]

aye aye, just be aware, timezones are a thing :) so i might not see it right away :)

[vague jolt]

It’s fine. I can wait. Thanks for the help.

[warm coral]

Ever since I got my new 5500 XT, I've been experiencing random blue screens which say "VIDEO_TDR_FAILRUE". I've never ever had this screen since this new upgrade. It happens randomly and not necessarily during gaming. Happened on my windows homescreen once, during actual gaming, and during loading screens of a game. I tried uninstalling all drivers and redownloading. It seemed to work for a bit but it recently started to happen again

Any ideas how to fix this?

[spice prawn]

@warm coral iirc, its a driver failure

[warm coral]

I have the latest drivers from amd and I clean installed them too

theres really no pattern to it either, it can happen on really any game and it doesnt seem like a high stress situation, even during a game I know I can run well it happens

[spice prawn]

you could try and rollback to a earlier driver

see if that helps

but .. yeah

[warm coral]

the first time it happened was on pubg which I'm pretty sure is a harder game to run, so I tried fixing it and then I spent hours playing pubg and felt like it was fixed, few days later it happened on csgo

is it possible it's the card itself? I had an rx 480 with the same drivers and never experienced a problem

[spice prawn]

could be

too many variables to tell

[warm coral]

I'll keep trying different things, if it continues I'll probably have to send it back to msi

[humble wasp]

Oh my, this 1660 GTX is nice... Can finally play with real graphics.

[proud sequoia]

what did you upgrade from?

[alpine plover]

does anybody know if a GTX 1650 super is good

[arctic phoenix]

good for its price yeah

[alpine plover]

aight

[humble wasp]

960GTX lol...

@alpine plover I just got the 1660 Super (GTX)

[alpine plover]

cool

[humble wasp]

Think it came out to $260 after shipping, just tossed it in and a billion times better than what I had lol.

Had to order a few fans for inside the case, noticed 1 died, others are pretty old hehe. It was a good day for a little cleaning.

1660 GTX is actually smaller than the 960 GTX lol... now what will I do with that ol brick...

[rugged crater]

What is the amd equivalent to a 2060 super?

[fallen schooner]

5600?

[rugged crater]

Even tho it’s only 6gb and the 2060super is 8?

[stiff zodiac]

2060 really weak skip it get 2070+

[rugged crater]

Too late :’(

[stiff zodiac]

5700 also draws like 570

but better

sad

[rugged crater]

I noticed that EVGA had a cosmetic defect 2070 super for slightly less than what I got my 2060super for.

F

[stiff zodiac]

condolence

[rugged crater]

Tbf, I only get my eyes checked like every 10 years. And my monitors are only 1080p. So I haven’t had any issues

[stiff zodiac]

if your budget is for 2060 might aswell get 5700xt instead

[rugged crater]

But then I can’t play minecraft rtx beta. 🤔

[stiff zodiac]

else get 2070+ if u love nvidia

[rugged crater]

Too late. Have to live with my mistakes. First build.

[stiff zodiac]

i think 2060 can play that if you only play mc ..

[rugged crater]

No that was more a joke

It’s been handling everything maxed at 1080 just fine

[stiff zodiac]

esports game is fine

the only issue here is the how much fps u get.. and future proofing. but yeah 2060 is not bad on esports ..

[rugged crater]

So what makes Nvidia so much more expensive than amd?

[stiff zodiac]

they have nvec

[rugged crater]

Is there something I’m missing?

[stiff zodiac]

for streaming

[rugged crater]

What is nvec?

[stiff zodiac]

abd some ai stuff if you into nerd stuff

[rugged crater]

Ah, what does it do?

[stiff zodiac]

its a encoder fast encoder

[rugged crater]

Gotcha

[royal copper]

less impact on game while record or stream

nvidia also has rtx, dlss, rtx voice

that stuff

[stiff zodiac]

yup

what games are you playing now?

[north grail]

overclock is just putting the graphics card 2 its upmost power right?

[royal copper]

overclocking would be raising the clock speeds of the card, but in order to do that yes you need to max power

there are some links to guides pinned in #overclocking

[north grail]

cuz im tryna get a grapics card

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VCH31N9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

[rugged crater]

@stiff zodiac gta v, elder scrolls online, Minecraft, WoW, cs:go, Snowrunner, apex legends, cod warzone, fortnite, and destiny is what I have installed so far

[north grail]

and this says overclocked and im confused

so its already set to its strongest power

[stiff zodiac]

@rugged crater you have super or non

[rugged crater]

Yea

[stiff zodiac]

non?

[rugged crater]

Super. Lol sorry

[stiff zodiac]

yeah can run those games fine

[royal copper]

and this says overclocked and im confused
@north grail oh no that means the clock speed is already a bit higher than reference cards out of the box, some manufacturers sell factory overclocked cards, but it can be overclocked further

[north grail]

but tis safe right?

cuz heard overclocking kills it 1 year or something like dat

[royal copper]

honestly it doesn't matter too much if you get one factory oced or not. and yes it is safe

[stiff zodiac]

well if card always over work it self

[north grail]

thanks brother

[stiff zodiac]

it tends to end its life

faster

xD

[royal copper]

lol

true

[stiff zodiac]

card sama work hard for you

and die for you

[north grail]

connecting power supply seems partially easy

[hexed forge]

factory overclock is a stable overclock and will last a long time. overclocking yourself has some risks.

[stiff zodiac]

yes like leggo.. hahaha but call somebody to help if you dont want to touch it

sometimes you just dont want to deal with it xD

[north grail]

^^

it be like dat most the times

was dming some guy earlier telling me the size should be fine https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073GWKDVM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2R0FX412W1BDT&psc=1

with my case

[stiff zodiac]

most psu size are standard like the case makers knows it xD

[north grail]

[stiff zodiac]

have u bought it?

[north grail]

gonna probaly order them tommor

definitely

[stiff zodiac]

i have the same psu for my 2nd pc.. soon

[royal copper]

there is really only size problem if you have like a really small itx case

[north grail]

mines a ATX

i think

[royal copper]

it should be good

[stiff zodiac]

but platinum ones

[royal copper]

no tomie titanium only

[hexed forge]

idk ive had a full atx case that didnt wanna lemme put in a slightly longer than normal psu. and then a micro atx case that made it extremely difficult to put in even a standard lol

[rugged crater]

I’ve done one build, and everything went together fine

Lol

[stiff zodiac]

no tomie titanium only
@royal copper but its cheap xD hahah

[north grail]

gold is bedtter than plat right?

wait am i sped

[royal copper]

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-Titanium-SSR-750TR-Modular-Warranty/dp/B075M3WC9K/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=titanium+psu&qid=1588895116&s=electronics&sr=1-3

[hexed forge]

usually thats the case lol but the first one was an old case i got from my grandpa and the second i wanted a super small case

[royal copper]

TITANIUM

[hexed forge]

no plat is better than gold

but

[north grail]

260

[hexed forge]

the psu you linked is high tiered i believ

[royal copper]

gold is fine

[stiff zodiac]

TITANIUM

where should is sell my old graphics card

[hexed forge]

mine died at 5 years. warranty was 4 years

[north grail]

any good website

[royal copper]

I think mine only has 5 year warranty

one year off xD

[hexed forge]

the new one i have is 10 year

[lucid abyss]

I got a 2070 super with a 8 year warranty

[hexed forge]

same

i think mine is 8

[royal copper]

selling go to ebay, fb marketplace or r/hardwareswap

[stiff zodiac]

nice

my xt is 3 years warranty only

[north grail]

when i run ow gpu temp goes to 80-83 c

idk if dat snormal

i got a gtx 1060 3gb

[royal copper]

for 1060 i think that fine

[stiff zodiac]

nvdia rtx is hot potato

ow non rtx

[royal copper]

no

rtx cool potato

my rtx no go above 70

[north grail]

ur saying the rtx 2080 super is gonan be hot ashell?

ima just say 2080s

[stiff zodiac]

2080ti is hot potato

[royal copper]

I tink pascal is a bit hotter than turing

[north grail]

but how bout s

[hexed forge]

it depends on who made it and what model

[royal copper]

true

[north grail]

evga 2080 super XC

[royal copper]

blower will be either toasty or loud

[hexed forge]

like apparently evga black cards run very hot and thats bad. but the evga XC cards run cool and run well

and that

blowers arent great, but look super cool

[north grail]

perfect

truee

blowers do look tight

[hexed forge]

theyre also expensive as hek lol

[north grail]

actually ima get a xc Ultra

its cheaper then XC

idk why

its not used either

[hexed forge]

if you're looking on newegg, its probably refurbished

[north grail]

the xc is used and its 850

im on amazon

[hexed forge]

hmm

im not sure then

go for it lol

[north grail]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VCH31N9/ref=twister_B07YTYGSMS?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

[hexed forge]

xc ultra is factory overclocked

[north grail]

and its safe

[stiff zodiac]

850 thats almost a pc.. must be nice

[hexed forge]

oh but it only has a 3 year warranty 😦

[stiff zodiac]

3 years is not enough yeah

unli warranty

xD

until u die

[north grail]

wats a good warranty

oh

[stiff zodiac]

3 years is fine. thats enought to test the card if its stable xD

[north grail]

so if something happens 2 it i can just ask for a new one

do i need 2 send back the "broken gpu"

[stiff zodiac]

i think the longest warranty i see is seasonic

the 12 year warranty ..

i dont if true but they say it

[north grail]

wats your warranty for ur graphis card

[hexed forge]

wait mine is only 3 year too

[stiff zodiac]

mine 3 years

[hexed forge]

and yeah you send it in, they determined where it broke, then send you a new one, and if they dont have that series anymore they send you whatever is equal or better

[stiff zodiac]

it was 570 before from bad asus pfft

[north grail]

most gpus i see are 3 years

warranty

[stiff zodiac]

then they let me change it to 5700xt

add money

[hexed forge]

i mean my evga 970 is like 6 or 7 years old and still running like its new lol

[stiff zodiac]

nice

[hexed forge]

evga cards are good, just avoid the black edition

[stiff zodiac]

but

black edition sounds cool

xD

850 wats

might actually get thsi and its RGB

that 750 wats gold disappeared wow

[stiff zodiac]

no

[north grail]

w0t

[hexed forge]

i wouldnt

the only gamemax gpu on the tier list is tier D and that is bad

[north grail]

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-PX-750-Full-Modular-Application-SSR-750PX/dp/B07W4PLZWH/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=seasonic+750w&qid=1588895930&s=electronics&sr=1-1

[hexed forge]

i wouldnt trust the brand

[north grail]

this is a tier right?

[hexed forge]

yes

[stiff zodiac]

hmm most of them really like it.. few cons if it matters if you know what you doing

but i still love seasonic ❤️

[north grail]

my power supply is so loud

its cancer

[stiff zodiac]

mine quite

hahhaa

[north grail]

which one do u have again

[stiff zodiac]

im more scared on loud psu than loud gpu whining

[hexed forge]

i mean the last tier D i bought was fine but like just randomly died. usually if you dont get close to the power rating its fine but i would still be wary

[north grail]

the evga should fit right

i have plenty of space

for evga 2080s?

[stiff zodiac]

but being listed as tier D is sad

[hexed forge]

i think so

but not sure

[stiff zodiac]

im using tier C

[hexed forge]

i have a tier B

[stiff zodiac]

must be nice

😦

[hexed forge]

i specifically wanted to get at least B after the D died lol

[north grail]

the rtx 2080 xc ultra is huge god damn

[stiff zodiac]

the rgb on psu would the fan of that psu add more heat

because of lights

just like ssd rgb problems

[north grail]

feel like its gonna just break off

modern pc all have the same thing like this right

[stiff zodiac]

wanna see more huge?

[north grail]

golly

[hexed forge]

you should see my cousin's RX 580

its a beast

[stiff zodiac]

takes 3 hole at the back of pc case i think

[hexed forge]

like almost twice the size as my 2070 super

[hexed forge]

what that for

[north grail]

I can put the 2080s?

[stiff zodiac]

yes its x16

[north grail]

Ok thank got worried

Ima prov order a spray can too

Cleaner

[elfin rain]

Speaking of large GPUs, I just got my 2070 Super in, and wow is it double the size of my 1660

[jagged pond]

So i just purchased a 2070 super and overlooked the 650w power supply recommendation. I have a 550w at the moment. Would my psu still be able to handle that or is it best to just let 2070 sit untill i can get a high psu?

[royal copper]

if it a good 550w it should be fine

[jagged pond]

its the Zotac mini 2070 super

my psu is Corsair 550 80+ Bronze

[lone pond]

I have a problem with my gpu/motherboard.
Whenever my graphics card is in the x16 slot it has terrible coil whine but disappears when plugged into the x8 slot.
Is there any way I could fix this and if not are there any performance losses I would see from using the x8 slot?

X-posted in #cpus-mobo-and-memory

[rich oasis]

@lone pond there is pretty decent performance drop

[lone pond]

Oh boy, can i put a really bad gpu pick in here?

Oh never mind, can't put pics in here

[maiden sun]

i bought the thicc 3 just now

[faint steeple]

@maiden sun which?

[north grail]

This is a x16 right?

[stiff zodiac]

yes

[maiden sun]

@faint steeple 5700xt thicc 3

ultra

[fossil plank]

I am in need of a new graphics card, but do not want to spend a massive amount of money for one. Does anyone have any suggestions. I use my computer for some gaming, but not high level. I also need a motherboard compatible;e with the card. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

[fallen schooner]

what is your current setup..

you say you need a gpu, and mobo.. but with out knowing your cpu and ram and even psu.. we can't help much.

[fossil plank]

Got it. Will check the info Thanks

[faint steeple]

@fossil plank the 1660 Super is an excellent choice for price to performance

About $250ish

USD

[vale flint]

no

[humble wasp]

@fossil plank Yep I got the 1660 Super (GTX) 6GB yesterday to replace my 960 GTX, thing is actually smaller than the GTX960 too lol. Amazing card and it cost me $260 off NewEgg including shipping/tax. I am running on an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 32GB G.Skill Trident RAM, on an ASUS B350-F MB. Loving the 1660 so far...

[rugged crater]

That’s a lot of ram

What do you do that you need 32gb of ram? 🤔

[royal copper]

chrome tabs

[rugged crater]

😂

I just built my first pc the other week too. Went with 16gb. Wondering if I’d even need 32gb

[humble wasp]

16GB came with the triple-play combo CPU, MB, RAM, ordered extra when I noticed it was on sale... just couldn't pass up the sale heh.

I upgraded from a Phenom 9850 I had for about a decade... still can't believe that thing is running so well, gave it to a family member.

[lone pond]

on minecraft my 2080s is giving out around 50 fps

why

[bitter jungle]

Do you have ray tracing on?

[lone pond]

no

no shaders

nothing

[bitter jungle]

Did you install drivers for it?

[lone pond]

yes

duh

[bitter jungle]

Okay just making sure

hmm

[lone pond]

ok

its in pcie x8

[bitter jungle]

Wait what?

[lone pond]

the slot

[bitter jungle]

You can't put a 2080 in an 8x slot

[lone pond]

you cant?

[bitter jungle]

Only a 16x slot

[lone pond]

.

oh

[bitter jungle]

Like?

What?

[lone pond]

i cant put in my 16x slot

the ram is blocking it

[bitter jungle]

It won't even fit in an 8x slot how did you get it in there?

[lone pond]

it fits ;-;

[bitter jungle]

Can you send a picture?

[lone pond]

not now

[bitter jungle]

of it in the 8x slot

cause...

[lone pond]

ok wait

[bitter jungle]

like there's no way

[spice prawn]

@bitter jungle not quite true.

Electrical and physical x16 are different things

[bitter jungle]

But with the way a motherboard is stup the braxket would hit the board right?

ooooooh

well yeah

[spice prawn]

same goes for the other speeds

you get the point then :)

also, there are what is known as "open" pci-e slots

where there is no "end" on the right side of the slot

[bitter jungle]

...

?

[spice prawn]

meaning, in those slots, you can put a x16 in a x1 (open)

[bitter jungle]

But... that wouldn't fit

right?

[lone pond]

you can barely see it

[spice prawn]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/PCIe_J1900_SoC_ITX_Mainboard_IMG_1820.JPG/220px-PCIe_J1900_SoC_ITX_Mainboard_IMG_1820.JPG

[lone pond]

yeah

its open

like that

[bitter jungle]

Ooooh yeah i know that

Oh yeah yeah

[spice prawn]

IF the card you are putting in there, is following the specs, it will work

[bitter jungle]

Okay i get it

[spice prawn]

just with a heck of a lot less bandwidth :)

[bitter jungle]

Sorry i just didn't unedrstand it in word form lol

So yeah @lone pond looks like the bandwidth on your card is low becuase of your PCIe slot

[lone pond]

m

ok

[bitter jungle]

Is that right @spice prawn

[spice prawn]

aye, sounds like it

[lone pond]

50 fps on mineraft

craft

for now

[bitter jungle]

Alright @lone pond you really need to slap that 2080 in the top x16 slot

[spice prawn]

no no

[lone pond]

?

[spice prawn]

that aint the cause of the 50fps

[lone pond]

then what

[spice prawn]

there is a difference, but it should not be anything remotely like that

[lone pond]

o

its a msi oc one

[bitter jungle]

Okay I'm outta here I can help with simple stuff but I no smart in this kinda stuff

[spice prawn]

x8 is more than enough for something like a 2080S

[lone pond]

is there a history with those being bad or something?

ok

[spice prawn]

check your settings and pay attention to the details of what other people are doing with theirs and what performance they are gettting

details matter for stuff like this

[lone pond]

i did do a 3d mark test

recently

it said something like

nvm

ill get a screenshot later

[lone pond]

Alright boys

Is a rx580 good

Cuz I ain’t got that much money and it’s not like ima be running everything at ultra

🤷‍♂️

[bitter jungle]

Depends on how much youre paying

If it's around $160 I think a 1650 Super is a better choice

[spare relic]

^^

If you can get an RX 590 for a bit less than that, you could go for it

[bitter jungle]

But 590 consumes a bunch of power if i remmeber correctly

[spare relic]

Personally I'm in 1650 Super camp because I need something really small

And Zotac delivers in that area

[bitter jungle]

Good performance, newer, cooler (temperature), generally better drivers, less power consumption on the 1650 super

[spare relic]

I don't have the monies in the bank to buy anything yet though, so here I sit

[bitter jungle]

@lone pond did that answer your question?

[lone pond]

Yea thx

What’s the compatibility situation on that 1650 super

Cuz I ain’t about that

[bitter jungle]

wdym

[lone pond]

Know*

Like for mother boards and such

Or does that matter

[bitter jungle]

Doesn't matter

[lone pond]

Hmm alright

[bitter jungle]

It'll fit into any board with a PCIe x16 slot (Which is pretty much every board as long as it's mini itx or bigger)

[spare relic]

I have an H81 board that does I think either PCIe 2.0 x8 or x16 on the 16x slot

[lone pond]

Hmm alrighty

And that like stuff would just be in like the specs right for the motherboard

[bitter jungle]

@spare relic 4th gen intel is one of my favorite platforms ever

@lone pond What motherboard you thinking of getting?

[lone pond]

Well I’m looking for something kinda cheap and in pcpartpickker I saw the b450 tomahawk

[bitter jungle]

That'll work

[lone pond]

So I just was thinking what could go with that

[spare relic]

My GT 730 is a PCIe 2.0 x8 card with a 16x plug and the 1650 Super is PCIe 3.0 x16

Haswell is great 👀

[bitter jungle]

Don't stress about it. @lone pond

[lone pond]

Alright 😂

I just wanna become more knowledgeable of these things 😂😅

[bitter jungle]

Pretty much any board will work except for a few boards (Like really small boards or really old boards)

Pretty much, if it has one of these it'll be compatible

[lone pond]

Oh alright thanks!!

[spare relic]

I should ask, since my board might only have 8 PCIe 2.0 lanes on the 16x slot, how would a PCIe 3.0 x16 card perform?

I wouldn't be concerned if it was just 3.0 x8, I ask because it's 2.0

That's where my concern comes from

[bitter jungle]

Lots of PCIe 3.0 cards perform just as well on PCIe 2.0

I think...

All I know is you can pair an RX 570 (PCIE 3.0) with an i7-860 (PCIe 2.0 support only) and it's fine

[mystic shadow]

Will the rx 570 8 gb be a notable improvement over the gtx 1650?

[proud sequoia]

no, the slight improvement will not be notable

[tawny steppe]

Hey guys do yall think I should get an rtx 2070 or a 5700 xt?

They're both the same price and I can't decide

Also do you think the 2070 super is worth an extra 100 dollars over the non super

[arctic phoenix]

if you care about pure performance and gaming, go 5700xt. If you care about the nvidia nice to haves, go 2070

also remember the 5700xt draws lots of power

as far as i know, 2070 super should be similar to 2080 so you have to decide

[rich oasis]

@tawny steppe 2070 super is the same price as regular 2070

@tawny steppe if you willing to spend the xtra 90 bucks for the super I think you should

because it has ray tracing

and its also better at 4k and 1440p

[tawny steppe]

All right thanks guys, ray tracing seems like a huge upside since it's more than just a gimmick now with minecraft

[magic prism]

Should I get a 2080 Super now or should I get a 2080 ti when the new 30 series cards drop? Also will I have enough power to do so? I have 650w PSU rn with a Ryzen 9 3950x as the CPU (I can give you all details if you need) I used PC part picker and went through and selected all the parts and it says it can run it although the 2080 ti might pull more if Im maxing it which concerns me. Using the GPU for competitive gaming primarily at 165fps with possible streaming on the side

[spare relic]

A 5700XT can run the best shaderpacks that people make for Java Edition

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[tawny steppe]

Yeah but a 2070s could probably do the same

[spare relic]

Yup

[rich oasis]

but 2070 s can run ray tracing minecraft

[spare relic]

Minecraft RTX doesn't look good though

[rich oasis]

I think it does

[spare relic]

To each their own 😉

[tawny steppe]

Isnt cyberpunk 2077 gonna take advantage of rtx though?

[spare relic]

Yeah ig

[west axle]

Hey guys I was wondering how much my MSI gtx 1660ti would be worth if i sell it. I paid 320 for it new and if i am not mistaken 1660 tis did not drop price since launch. I used mine for about 7 months

[rigid crag]

Maybe like mid 200s at best

[west axle]

Is it worth selling it and buying a 20 series card when the new gpus come out? if so which one would be a good choice for 1440p gaming

[rigid crag]

Well, I doubt that the profit you make from that sell would be enough for a decent 20 series card even after the 30 series releases. Plus the fact that you won't have a gpu for a while

[west axle]

oh ok

[hollow raft]

I want to get 144fps on 1080p fortnite and cod. I might do some 1440p also. Should I get a 1660 super or a 2060 or a 2060 super?

[fallen schooner]

doing 1440p you'll want atleast 2060

best bet 2060super

[mellow crystal]

Are there any good deals for graphics cards, have an amd rx 580 but need an upgrade I looked into a 2060 super but I don’t know a lot of graphics cards out there

[fallen schooner]

-_-

[hollow raft]

is the 1660 super good enough for 144fps high settings on 1080p

[bitter jungle]

Should be. If you wanted to be sure a 5600 XT or RTX 2060 would be better than a 1660 S

[rugged crater]

@mellow crystal check out EVGA's website and look at their b stock. they have graphics cards that have minor cosmetic defects that still have warranty and are discounted. sometimes it's just the box that's damaged.

[mellow crystal]

could you send me a link to that?

[rugged crater]

yes

[mellow crystal]

alright

[rugged crater]

https://www.evga.com/products/ProductList.aspx?type=8

[mellow crystal]

Ill give it a look

[rugged crater]

check back often

stock is changing

[mellow crystal]

alright

[faint apex]

anyone know how to make a waterblock that covers both the GPU Processor and the VRMs? Im asking cause My Fans died and cant afford a new card at this time

[fallen schooner]

wut?

[faint apex]

Yeah I have a RX-470 made by MSI and I was wondering If there was a way I could make my own waterblock that I could add into my existing Liquid cooling system

[humble wasp]

Loving my 1660 GTX got it the other day... Can finally crank up the graphics in Doom Eternal to Ultra Nightmare hehe. World of difference coming off a 960GTX.

[faint steeple]

@faint apex you could make a heatsink

err actually

just get some different fans

and mount them with some zip ties

there are videos online of ways to add fans

[lone pond]

What do I do if my graphics card isnt getting power
Everything was plugged in

[arctic phoenix]

only your gpu?

[lone pond]

I think. The fans dont turn on on it when I turn on my pc and nothing comes onto my monitor

[arctic phoenix]

do your case/cpu fans turn on?

[lone pond]

They do

[arctic phoenix]

have you made sure that the gpu is properly seated in the pcie slot?

[lone pond]

I have, yes.

[fallen schooner]

what gpu is it

[arctic phoenix]

can you try plugging your monitor into the motherboard io?

seeing if purely gpu problem

[fallen schooner]

depends on cpu

[lone pond]

It's a radeon rx 580

I tried that earlier and it didnt work either. I have a tuf b450 pro gaming motherboard and my cpu is a ryzen 3600x

[fallen schooner]

well 3600x doesnt have discrete gpu

so that'd never work

[lone pond]

Do you mean that something doesnt support something else?

[arctic phoenix]

no, just that you cant plug monitor into mobo

[lone pond]

Oh. Ok. So all I need to do is figure out why my gpu isnt turning on

[arctic phoenix]

what psu do you have

[fallen schooner]

was it working previously?

did you just buy it new? used?

[lone pond]

An evga 750 watt I'm pretty sure. And I just bought all these parts new. I didnt get a new psu though. Mines not too old so i figured that it would be ok

[fallen schooner]

does anything power up?

[lone pond]

Everything besides my gpu

[fallen schooner]

send us a picture of how you have it setup

[lone pond]

Wow lol. That didnt work to well. One sec

[fallen schooner]

you may want to plug that into the gpu

er PSU

or is that a separate cable for the gpu?

it looks like one piece in that picture

[lone pond]

It's a separate one. I have one plugged into it

[fallen schooner]

haha ok 😮

[lone pond]

I've tried them both and neither of them turn it on

[arctic phoenix]

dead gpu?

[fallen schooner]

so when you press power, cpu fan spin up, mobo lights up

[lone pond]

Yup they do

[fallen schooner]

and just no signal to monitor

are you using hdmi? dp? dvi?

how long do wait between push button, and then shutdown cause no picture

is mobo even screwed down? looks like there are no screws holding it down

[lone pond]

Yes. And I use dvi. And I've waited about 5 mins at the longest

And yes it is. I only got 4 screws. Not 6 like I needed

[fallen schooner]

I would try hdmi or DP if ya got it

[arctic phoenix]

try plugging it into a different pcie slot?

[fallen schooner]

your monitor is good too?

turns on and says no signal?

I know sometimes they could appear to be powered on, but you have to physically tturn them on

[lone pond]

Yeah. It says no signal. I'll try the other pcie slot

[fallen schooner]

like sometimes they won't 'wake up'

just trying to remove all variables before I say dead gpu.

[lone pond]

Still nothing in the other part monitor still says no signal

[lone pond]

So I installed my old graphics card and it didnt come up on the monitor but it powered on

[lone inlet]

good GTX card for $200-$250 ?

[rigid crag]

If you could get a used 1080 that'd be a good deal

[lone inlet]

thank you

[rigid crag]

Your welcome
Keep in mind that that might not be easy to find. If you can't I'm sure you could find a 1070ti tho

[white mulch]

250 for a 1080 would be a great price, very hard to find i think though

for 200 easily a 1070, most go for under 200

a 1070ti would be the sweet spot i think

[wicked hound]

$200+ for a 1070 is pretty bad given $230 for a 1660S that has better NVENC and warranty

[vagrant tusk]

uhh, its weird.. umm my gpu was running fine yetserday, now its acting weird

when i clicked something on gaming like planet zoo. it would freeze for few secs

gpu memory dropped

[faint steeple]

@vagrant tusk are your drivers up to date?

[vagrant tusk]

yes

just reinstalled

still dropped 😦

Wtf

83 C degrees!

[faint steeple]

is that the sims?

[devout pawn]

not sims

maybe a game engine or 3d modelling software?

[vagrant tusk]

It’s planet zoo

[lone pond]

@lone pond If your cpu has integrated graphics try and boot using that. Once in windows see if gpu-z reads the card.

[sudden briar]

I’m mad I’m such a cheapskate. I bought a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1650 OC 4G for my first build. Now I regret it

[lone pond]

just get super

[sudden briar]

Too late

It’s built

[vagrant tusk]

Any idea on my GPU dropping?

[rich oasis]

@sudden briar why u regret it?

[rigid crag]

Graphics cards are one of the easiest things to upgrade so you have that option still if you regret the one you bought

[gusty axle]

@vagrant tusk Does it do the same with other games or just that one? This looks like an odd problem

[hoary prawn]

yes
@vagrant tusk My brother recently sent me this, it might be something to look at https://www.pcgamer.com/try-turning-off-windows-10s-game-mode-if-your-games-are-stuttering-or-freezing/?utm_content=bufferfb286&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=buffer_pcgamerfb

[fallen schooner]

titan xp 😐

[brisk flame]

titan Xp is hot

the starwars ones are dope too

i would dish out mad cash for a halo themed one

[rich mulch]

I had a question if anyone could help me

[spice prawn]

@rich mulch please just ask :) people will then be able to respond if they know or have the time to figure it out together with you.

[rich mulch]

So I have a core i5 4460 in my current system and within that a graphics card that is going to crap the bed soon so in my new system that I’m saving for I am using a 1660ti however what if I purchase the card now and use it in my current system before my graphics card dies completely. I know there would be a cpu bottle neck. Would it be worth it?

[spice prawn]

depends on your timeframe for the full system

[rich mulch]

6 months

[spice prawn]

personally i would wait

we have a fairly firm rumour that tells us that Nvidia will show "something" in the next month or so

depending on what they show, it will hopefully be a bit easier to recommend a sensible action for you

does that make sense?

[rich mulch]

Ya that makes sense I just wanted to know what I could do because my current gpu is gonna die pretty soon

[spice prawn]

aye, and it is a very valid question that you are asking :)

[rich mulch]

Thank you for the help

[spice prawn]

you are very welcome :)

[rich mulch]

I normally figure it out myself. I build PCs and just it’s time to upgrade the personal system now

[spice prawn]

:)

[rich mulch]

But thank you again 🙂

[spice prawn]

still very welcome :)

[vagrant tusk]

Thank you I will try this

[acoustic ginkgo]

Oh, is there a rumor going around about Nvidia?

[royal copper]

Yes

New cards look promising

[acoustic ginkgo]

So, if they announce the new cards next month... would that mean the 20XX cards might start getting cheaper?

[spice prawn]

@acoustic ginkgo no, there is currently no reason for them to lower the prices

[royal copper]

Might be seeing some more used cards

[spice prawn]

not in the short term

[royal copper]

Buying new probably won’t get too much cheaper

True

[spice prawn]

i dont expect that the consumer cards will be out soon

we will get an announcement on the HPC cards, and potentially some info on the architecture itself (Ampere)

but that is all i think we will be getting

[mighty egret]

Is the EVGA RTX 2060 KO ultra just a 2060 ko with a mild factory overclock, or is there other differences with it? Just curious

[spice prawn]

@mighty egret gaming wise? its just a 2060 with a slight oc

[fervent yacht]

if you can, go grab a 2060S

specs like 2070 for ~100 less

[acoustic ginkgo]

I'm about at the point of convincing myself to get a 2060 Super.

[mighty egret]

Yeah I mean like the 2060 ko vs ko ultra is it just a mild overclock of the ko? Or is it something else

And I was debating 2060s or 2070s but I just did the 2060 ko due to budget lol, i had to get all parts so I had to limit budget on stuff. Ill upgrade eventually but it's plenty for now, I'd have had to go a lot cheaper on case, psu or something else had I gone any better gpu

[maiden sun]

5700 thicc 3 ultra delivera tuesday, kinda hyped.

[lone pond]

[ember remnant]

@spice prawn will the new cards be more expensive? Like price difference between the 2070 super and the 3070 super (if there is a 3070 s) because i might just wait for the new stuff to come out if they are kinda the same price

Hm they possibly could be cheaper

[spice prawn]

@ember remnant everything you find online about the new cards: price/performance/specs is, from what i know, pure speculation.

[ember remnant]

Oh ok

[spice prawn]

currently we are in "silly with extra silly" rumour season

[ember remnant]

What would be your guess from experience

Personally should I wait for the new cpu and gpu’s 2 come out ?

@spice prawn

[spice prawn]

your choice

its an endless cycle

if you need/want the machine "now"? buy now

and then enjoy the machine from now until the new parts come out, and beyond ofc

or make do with what you have, and then buy when it comes out

re: price: i dont see a particular reason for the prices to go down as such

logic dictates that we will get more performance for the same price.

the question is how much

[ember remnant]

I don’t have any build so that’s why I was wondering if I should get parts now or wait for the next gen stuff 2 come out , if the 3070 is the same price as the 2070 but with better performance I might as well just wait

But I personally want a pc now but I feel as if it would be smart to wait

[maiden sun]

when the 30 series releases im replacing my 5700xt

[ember remnant]

What’s the 5700xt if it was converted into a rtx @maiden sun

If you understand what I mean

[rigid crag]

2070 super

[ember remnant]

Like if the 5700xt was a rtx Carr what would it be as I’m not familiar with those cards

Oh ok

[maiden sun]

so what youre saying is next gen amd gpus with ray tracing?

[rigid crag]

2070 super is slightly better but its the closest thing

[maiden sun]

or yeah its a 2070

[ember remnant]

@rigid crag @maiden sun so I should probs wait for the next gen stuff 2 come out right ? Better performance for the same cost

Well hopefully

[maiden sun]

im not patient

so i wouldnt wait

but im not you

[ember remnant]

Same it’s gonna hard but you see I don’t have money for future upgrades

[rigid crag]

As naed said, if you can wait then sure, if you want something now go for it. Its not like the current gen cards are bad by any means

Keep in mind that you would have money for future upgrades if you sold the old card

[ember remnant]

If for example I bought a 2070 super and later on sold it I could buy a 3070 with that money ? If they are around the same price

[maiden sun]

the 2070 isnt a good value ngl

[rigid crag]

Depends

2070 super is a very good price to performance with extra nvidia features rn

But there's card depreciation @ember remnant so no you couldn't pay for it entirely off that sell

[ember remnant]

Hm if I wait for the new CPU’s I’d have to buy a a x570 or a b550 or the intel board depending on what I go for

And I don’t know if the b550 are gonna be more money than b450

[rigid crag]

Yes, you have many options when that time comes

[ember remnant]

Yes for what ?

The b550 being more money ?

[rigid crag]

Your options

[ember remnant]

O

[rigid crag]

We can't tell what any future prices will be

[ember remnant]

Yea sadly

[rigid crag]

I just said you'll have a lot of options

[ember remnant]

I really want a pc now but I could handle the wait and like I said if the 3070 is the same price as the 2070 but with better performance it’ll be smart to wait but idk , my budget is like 1,698

[rigid crag]

Well its your decision ultimately

But I can definitely say that a 1,700 dollar system will not disappoint for a long time

[maiden sun]

just wait

thAts cap

[placid pasture]

I think rx5700xt beter than rtx 2060 super

[rigid crag]

Whats cap?@maiden sun

[maiden sun]

you

[rigid crag]

Elaborate

[maiden sun]

youre cap

[rigid crag]

...

Well now I understand...

[ember remnant]

[rigid crag]

Idk what he's trying to say lol

[maiden sun]

im saying that you are cap

[rigid crag]

Which does not explain anything nor does it help anyone

But continue saying it if you want

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[agile vine]

Hi

I had a question

What would be a good gpu for around like 400-500 that could run fornite at like 120-140fps low settings

[rigid crag]

If streaming than 2070 super for 500
If not than 5700xt for 400
Both will exceed 140fps
😉

[agile vine]

So if i get 5700xt i cannot stream

?

@rigid crag

Oo u got 6969 haha lol

[rigid crag]

No you can still stream on a 5700xt but it will be cpu based

I'm going to bed now tho but I'm sure someone else will help you with any other questions

[agile vine]

Okay tyvm 😄

[outer dirge]

anyone know of any decient? PCIE 8x cards for sale, all I can find is the PNY - NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 VERTO, not sure now modern it is, but I suspect it would at least work for what I want to use it for...would rather have something with a bit more "power" then a 710...

[wicked hound]

Just about any card can run in x8 mode

even x1 mode

just that the max it can run is usually x16 gen3 (or for AMD new stuff gen4).

[outer dirge]

the slot I need to put it in is only an 8X and the 16X varient cards (for my servers) are so rare they are just about as good as a unicorn

[wicked hound]

As in x8 physical? If so is it open ended or closed ended. Open ended pic below

[spare relic]

there's a few 730s which physically have the 8x slot I think

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-gt-730-passive-low-profile-2-gb.b5501
and
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/dell-gt-730-oem-2-gb.b6089

both 384 core cards

I remember reading about GT 730s which were 192 cores

[outer dirge]

8x physical and no im NOT going to cut anything (yes im aware of the mods to do so)

[spare relic]

these ones should be as good as mine, which is a 16x slot card https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/lenovo-gt-730-oem-2-gb.b5448

[wicked hound]

DDR4 1030
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bWKcCJ/evga-geforce-gt-1030-2gb-video-card-02g-p4-6232-kr

[outer dirge]

these are just going to be used to crunch numbers (putting them into my folding farm)

[spare relic]

that 1030 is probably the best you could ask for I'm guessing

[outer dirge]

and that heat sink is massive, too large to fit

[spare relic]

https://www.newegg.com/p/1FT-0014-00763?Description=gt730&cm_re=gt730-_-9SIAA4TB0T4829-_-Product
here's a 730

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-nVidia-GeForce-GT-730-2GB-DVI-HDMI-VGA-PCI-Express-Graphics-Card-GT730DE/173897795292?epid=6008352249&hash=item287d1dc6dc:g:RZsAAOSwOttcvXB~
one on eBay

basically just look for the ones which have active cooling so it's not dual slot, and the slot thing is 8x

are you in the US?

[outer dirge]

yes

[spare relic]

that Dell on eBay should be free shipping in the US

is the system small form factor?

if so, you can maybe ask for the sff bracket if they offer that, idk

there seems to be some low profile brackets on Amazon that might work...

yeah

an okay selection

[ember remnant]

If the 2080 super some how went on sale would a 3800x bottleneck it ?

Or would a 3800x be to much for a 2070 super

[faint steeple]

2080 or 2070?

I dont think the cpu will bottleneck it

I think it would be a great pair for it

[timid vortex]

2060 super or 2070?

[uneven eagle]

hi guys, should i go for the rx 580 or gtx 1650 super?, or is there a better option?

[stiff zodiac]

1660ti

https://youtu.be/EHzi946OzHs

[wicked hound]

1650S is better deal due to same price and perf but also has NVENC

[slow field]

5700 xt or 2060 super?

or is there something else around $400?

[covert nexus]

Definately an rtx 2060 super

[supple prism]

I just purchased 2 2060 ti graphics cards for $390 on ebay lol

[stiff zodiac]

5700 xt

[rustic merlin]

I would go towards the rtx more. Just for the simple fact of amd's driver updates normally become a nuisance

[dusty hedge]

Is it worth going from a GTX 1080 to an RTX 2080 Super?

[rigid crag]

Well i wouldn't because the 1080 is still a very decent card rn and the 3000 series is launching this year.

[outer dirge]

I am still using my 1080 and it still keeps up 😄 now only if FailEx would get my case to me....

[rustic merlin]

Yeah I'd wait for the 3000 series. 2080's will go down

[rigid crag]

Not necessarily

[royal copper]

1080 to 2080 super is a nice jump, but yeah id wait for the new cards

[rustic merlin]

I wouldnt say it would drop drastically off the start of the release but to keep the price reasonable for the 3000 series. They would have to lower the 2080. Atleast I would think. We will see. I havnt looked into much about the 3000 series yet.

[hoary pine]

anybody have any clue as to when the new 3000 series will be released because i can afford a 2070 rn but i don't know if i should just wait it out

[royal copper]

id say wait

[rigid crag]

Its rumored for Q4 but nothing is set in stone yet

[royal copper]

i hear later this year ya

[rigid crag]

I'd say wait aswell
