dense flicker
#

most powerful out of that list would be the vega 64 i think

brave oracle
#

Also why are every company are using the same names? lol

dense flicker
#

its kinda like android

#

so

#

Nvidia and AMD make the graphics chips, manufacturers make everything else, similar to google makes android, manufacturers make the phones

brave oracle
#

ok good start for me tks

royal copper
#

i'd probably say either the vega 64 or wx 9100 is the fastest

dense flicker
#

lol i have no idea the performance of the 9100

#

never heard of it

royal copper
#

it's a workstation gpu i believe

dense flicker
#

ah then that would probably be better

#

brb userbenchmark

royal copper
#

lol

#

they are very similar

dense flicker
#

cant find the 9100 on ub

brave oracle
#

Do you have like a "guru" site to refer for comparison?

dense flicker
#

Userbenchmark (some people hate it) is okay for quick comparisons

#

for example

#

that shows that the vega 64 is roughly 70% faster than the rx580

granite juniper
#

ree userbenchmark ban

dense flicker
#

^

#

see

brave oracle
#

And do you have company of choice (ASUS, etc.) ?

royal copper
#

found one of them

granite juniper
#

dont pick asus for amd

dense flicker
#

depends on the card

royal copper
#

where is motor when you need him

dense flicker
#

for amd uhhhhh theres XFX, Sapphire, MSI, PowerColor, uhhhh

granite juniper
#

usually sapphire is a good pick

dreamy dragonBOT
#
Lacrem#2021 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

dense flicker
#

on Newegg you can filter on the left by which card and brand

#

so you dont have to worry about it

brave oracle
#

ok nice

granite juniper
#

and the wx 9100 is basically just a vega 64 with 16gb of memory

dense flicker
#

ooh

#

vega 64 has 8gb, right?

royal copper
#

yeah if you need the mem it could be good

granite juniper
#

yea

brave oracle
#

is it worth having 16gb (or more) I dont gaming or 3D

royal copper
dense flicker
#

vega 64 should be fine imo

granite juniper
#

but id assume its also way more expensive and hard to find because its a prosumer card

dense flicker
#

^

royal copper
#

if it's a lot more expensive just go with vega 64

granite juniper
#

yeah its 1500

brave oracle
#

not cheap ayaye

dense flicker
#

LOL

granite juniper
#

i'd try to find a vega 64 for like $300 on ebay, bunch of them there

brave oracle
#

ok thank you guys it help me a bit more!

royal copper
#

make sure you don't get a very large one that won't fit in the enclosure

#

most should be fine tho

dense flicker
#

on the specs page of the product page on Newegg there should be a length measurement

#

but yeah, most should be fine

#

the gpu enclosure is designed specifically for gpus, i cant imagine they wouldnt fit a large card

brave oracle
#

what about "Gigabyte" brand?

dense flicker
#

i have a gigabyte card, theyre good

#

i have an Nvidia gigabyte card tho

#

not sure how their amd cards are

#

i bet @magic pebble would know

royal copper
#

ofc intender would ROFLEgg

dense flicker
#

also just a quick tip, if anybody comes in here recommending Nvidia, it wont work well with ur mac because mac doesnt like Nvidia

#

i mean like... some of them do, but only if youre on version MacOS High Sierra and even then its more trouble than its worth.

brave oracle
#

that's why all recommanded cards are AMD

royal copper
#

you can get nvidia to work as an egpu for mac but support ain't great and if this is for work it is best to have something that will work

dense flicker
#

just wanted to clarify that before i go bcuz i wont be here for a minute

#

speaking of which

#

brb

royal copper
#

lmao

sand storm
#

Does anyone know if a 2060 super will work in an AB350M Pro 4

#

I don't know which kind of GPU it takes in

dense flicker
#

it will work

sand storm
#

Thanks

pine gulch
#

Is 1660 super good upgrade?

lone pond
#

for what?

#

what are you upgrading from?

pine gulch
#

1030

lone pond
#

definitely

#

but what's your budget

#

about $2-300 ?

pine gulch
#

Yeah

#

I’m looking for best for 1080 144hz

lone pond
#

mmmmmmmmmmmm

#

you clearly don't care about RTX/can't afford it

pine gulch
#

I was going to get one but price is almost 100 more for not that much speed increase

lone pond
#

so maybe an RX 5600xt

#

it's very good for 1080p

#

and about $290

pine gulch
#

Do they crash the and cards

lone pond
#

wdym

pine gulch
#

I heard and cards have bad drivers and crash a lot

lone pond
#

bruh

#

AMD's cards HAD bad drivers

#

they've since updated it

pine gulch
#

Okay cool

lone pond
#

lmao

pine gulch
#

Does it have rgb

lone pond
#

so go for it

#

which 1660S were you looking at

pine gulch
#

Msi

lone pond
#

and do you want a card with RGB?

pine gulch
#

The rgb one

#

Yeah to match my setup

lone pond
#

send me a side panel pic of your pc now

pine gulch
#

In this chat?

lone pond
#

sure

#

up to you

pine gulch
#

Doesn’t let me post

#

I’ll post in build pics

lone pond
#

ok

pine gulch
#

Okay thank you

lone pond
#

you really like red huh

#

I would recommend setting your ram to red to make it more cohesive, but like it's pretty nice

pine gulch
#

Okay thank you

#

Yeah reds cool

lone pond
#

yeah

pine gulch
#

I seen the 1660 super for 260 but it’s out of stock

lone pond
#

how does this look

#

it's better than the 1660S for about $290 I think

#

idk if it's in stock

#

$289 and in stock soon

#

so if you're not in a rush gopher it

#

much faster than the 1660S

pine gulch
#

That’s pretty nice

lone pond
#

just look around at different RX 5600xt's and find a design you like

#

or you could pay another $30

#

and get this

#

Get Monster Hunter World, RE3 and Xbox Game Pass w/ purchase, ends soon

pine gulch
#

Same price as 2060

#

Right

lone pond
#

well it performs better if you don't care about RTX

#

and it's better than the pulse

#

the sapphire card

#

because it's got a beefier heatsink

#

but pretty much the same

hollow zephyr
#

Yeah I got my 5600xt for like $260 without the tax hehe

lone pond
#

lmao

hollow zephyr
#

But it has three fans and rgb Yes

pine gulch
#

Okay cool

#

Are drivers easy to download because my brother got and and confusing

#

He got some old amd card

lone pond
#

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

easy

#

the drivers for new amd cards are much better than old ones

pine gulch
#

Okay what about bottlenecking with my processor

lone pond
#

what cpu u got

pine gulch
#

Rhyzen 5 1600

#

I overclocked a bit tho

lone pond
#

definitely find

#

fine

#

no bottleneck

#

jsut gopher it

pine gulch
#

Okay cool thank you

#

Do I need to overclock my ram

#

Because rhyzen likes ram speed right

lone pond
#

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

bruh

#

ryzen likes ram speed

#

what's your ram at currently

pine gulch
#

When I got it in bios it was at like 2667 but it said 3000 on ram so I put xmp profile to 3000

#

So I might put xmp profile to 3600

hollow zephyr

bitter jungle
#

Oh also I have the ASRock phantom gaming D 4gb model and I can only see 8gb BIOSs on TechPowerUp

pine gulch

pine gulch
#

how to make ssd faster

stiff zodiac

bitter jungle
#

2 weeks ago maybe

stiff zodiac
#

try the force flash on that video

#

can u install driver tho?

#

does amd knows it?

#

weve been buying mining 570 card tho

pine gulch
#

hey how come rgb cost so much tomie

stiff zodiac
#

and some seller are nice to show how to fix yellow marks on device list

bitter jungle
#

AMD recognizes that it’s a 570

#

Idk man

#

Something always goes wrong:(

stiff zodiac
#

can u play?

bitter jungle
#

Let me boot it up and try again

#

No

stiff zodiac
#

well just force flash it i guess

#

maybe its broken thats why they sell it

#

xD

#

stonks

bitter jungle
#

I guess you never know

#

They were selling multiple

#

As well as some 580s

stiff zodiac
#

yay

bitter jungle
#

I’ll try to force flash it gimme a sec

stiff zodiac
bitter jungle
#

Tomie I’m sorry but can you walk me through it?

stiff zodiac
#

btw be carefull in flashing it might be bricked or something if u do something wrong

#

mostly the yellow exclamation mark .. from used 570 is like when u have modified bios

#

on that 570

#

but try ddu the driver first.. maybe u can still fix it

bitter jungle
#

It says “Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems”

#

DDU driver?

stiff zodiac
#

yes complete uninstall amd stuff

#

and install 19.x.x drivers

#

dont use 2020 ones

bitter jungle
#

I know how to uninstall but how would I go about downloading older ones?

bitter jungle
#

Then I click Radeon Software Adrenaline Edition 19.12.1 Driver for Windows 10 64-bit right?

stiff zodiac
#

yes

#

if u have win 64 win 10

#

I know how to uninstall but how would I go about downloading older ones?
@bitter jungle ddu is different.. its like deleting all traces of gpu driver only chipset will left

bitter jungle
#

Wow

#

So all I do is install that thing and run it?

stiff zodiac
#

yes

#

you can watch some youtube stuff how to use it

#

make sure u execute it on safe mode

bitter jungle
#

I’m lost

#

All I do is download the old adrenaline software and run it?

#

But I have to do it in safe mode?

#

I’m really sorry Tomie. I’m having trouble understanding

stiff zodiac
#

install ddu -> boot safe mode -> execute ddu as admin -> remove safe mode -> install gpu driver

bitter jungle
#

And DDU is the adrenaline software you linked?

#

Or is it something else?

stiff zodiac
#

no

#

different

bitter jungle
stiff zodiac
#

adrenaline is gpu driver

#

ddu is uninstaller

#

clean install

#

purposes

bitter jungle
stiff zodiac
#

is it finish?

#

yeah stop that just do

install ddu -> boot safe mode -> execute ddu as admin -> remove safe mode -> install gpu driver

bitter jungle
#

Okay okay cool

#

Okay so I did the thing @stiff zodiac

#

Was I supposed to uninstall the drivers before I did it?

bitter jungle
#

It didnt work @stiff zodiac Distraught

jolly basin
#

Can you change rgb color on rtx founders edition cards

#

Green is ugly af

pine gulch
#

i dont like the green

bitter jungle
#

that's offensive lol

#

green good color

#

Tomie don't wanna help me anymore 😔

timid niche
#

does 2060 super have the best value for 144hz 1440p gaming?

mystic shadow
#

No, rx 5700 xt @timid niche

bitter jungle
#

2060 if you're doing live-streaming at all, 5700 XT for purely gaming

open crystal
#

@jolly basin no you cant

jolly basin
#

u sure

#

cause i did it

open crystal
#

using what

#

how did you do that

#

its hard coded to green i believe, and its not even RGB

jolly basin
#

it is rgb

#

it didnrt work at first

#

but then i got it to

thorn kestrel
#

is a 5700 XT for $409 good?

arctic phoenix
#

its pretty good i'd say

#

if new/3 fan

glad saffron
#

Would it be worth going the budget route of getting a 1660ti or save up the few extra dollars for a 2060

lone pond
#

I picked up a 1660S to tide me over until i could get a 2070S.

gilded roost
#

@lone pond when you say tide you over, do you sell on ebay (or wherever) and upgrade?

lone pond
#

I usually upgrade my Mom's system with old parts. Actually.

edgy sluice
#

Will I have bottleneck? i9-9900k and 2070ti

gilded roost
#

You don't happen to have an Oculus Rift S with that 1660S do you?

novel sleet

does anyone use the integrated gpu on their cpus?

hollow zephyr

mine is making beat box sounds and about to melt i think

hollow zephyr

loud raven
#

@edgy sluice with a i9 u can run a 4070 super and u would not bottleneck ( i know they dont exist i was making a point)

hollow zephyr

edgy sluice

hollow zephyr
#

i've heard that those ventus cards dont have the best coolers so the fans make a good amount of noise

#

and thats an awful price lmao

#

its also priced by over $100 @stoic folio

stoic folio
#

@hollow zephyr what rtx card would you recommend thats not amd and 300£

hollow zephyr
#

the one i just sent

#

the 2060ko

#

and it also comes in an ultra version as well

#

even though they could be cheaper as of rn im sure the price will go back down to below $300usd

#

which is less than 300£

stoic folio
#

ok but where the link

#

thank you

hollow zephyr

either one of those two will outperform that ventus in a lot

and like i said they normally arent priced that and come with rebate cards for extra savings

lone pond
#

What’s a good rtx card

royal copper
#

any that you can afford, 2060 ko is a nice budget option tho 🙂

lone pond
#

Should I get a rtx or amd or gtx card

rich oasis
#

Depends on the budget @lone pond

lone pond
#

I think I’m going to save up till next architecture

desert nest
#

which one is better? Gigabyte Radeon RX 570 Gaming or the Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX570. I have no idea

solemn shale
#

performance wise it won't matter since they are the same card

#

Cooling wise, it'll depend on how many fans are on the card,

#

price wise, whatever the better option is

desert nest
#

Oh ok, Im sort of a noob at picking parts

solemn shale
#

You're good dude. Just do your research\

What would you guys say the best bang for your buck graphics card is?

tribal ice
#

Any suggestions for a good graphics card around 200-300€?

blissful badge
#

Above the 2060 KO was recommended. Its unusually high right now but is a good card for the price. If you look at used you can get a 1080 for $300 sometimes

stoic folio
#

Should I get a rx 5600xt or a rx 5700

rigid crag
#

Well a 5700 performs better and has the option to bios flash it to a xt, I think it's worth the extra 50 or so dollars

limber sequoia
#

@stoic folio I got a Power Color Red Dragon 5700 open box from New Egg and it has been flawless.

#

Anyone know where gpus are in stock. Specifically rtx 2070s

You gotta wait

They take about a week to restock

What are your picks for the coolest looking GPU coolers

limber sequoia
gloomy fiber
#

which one is better between sapphire pulse 5700xt vs gigabyte windforce 5700xt

limber sequoia
#

Get the Power Color Red Dragon and save some cash.

gloomy fiber
#

theyre all the same price

pine gulch
#

get rgb

sand storm
#

@pale talon wdym. i dont really care about looks

#

just performance

undone cosmos
#

question and clarification, if the GPU is showing 99% utilization and the CPU is around 20%...is that a GPU bottleneck or CPU?

#

i have a i7 7700k and a GTX 1060

elder marsh
#

@gloomy fiber Sapphire pulse is better

pale talon
#

@undone cosmos X bottleneck means X component is the limiting factor

#

so that would be a GPU bottleneck

gloomy fiber
#

oh ok

#

in what ways is it better

undone cosmos
#

@pale talon okay thank you

gloomy fiber
#

@elder marsh

elder marsh
#

The cooler keeps it running cooler and it is quieter

#

the windforce in particular has a bad cooler I researched it because I almost bought it

what about hte red dragon

unreal flare
#

I'm building tomorrow. I'll be connecting my gpu via hdmi 4' cable. Anyone have an opinion about cable quality (if you think brand name matters, etc) ?

heady elk
#

What definition are you planning on playing?

#

@unreal flare

unreal flare
#

1080p. (1920 x 1080, 24")

heady elk
#

Brand name doesn't really play a gigantic part, I don't think. If the reviews are positive for the cable, it's probably good

#

I was asking because 4K runs better with an HDMI 2.0 cable

torpid garden
#

Model > brand

heady elk
#

Agreed ^

heady elk
unreal flare
#

Ty both. Everything arrived for my build, then realized that existing monitor (previously attached via VGA) did not come with hdmi cable for new card.
Most stores were closed, but found bargain store high speed (1080p/4k certified) hdmi cable, so bought it.

I absolutely love gigabyte's 3 fan coolers

like they're so clean

@lone pond ditto

#

shame that I hear bad things about Gigabyte themselves

lone pond
#

aight ima head out

pale talon
#

I've always thought Gigabyte Gaming OC cards are the standard for how cool a graphics card I'm actually willing to pay for should look

#

The EVGA cards are a putoff

#

except the ones with the 2060 KO cooler

lone pond
#

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

pale talon
#

the 2060 KO cooler is pretty nice for how small it is

#

it's a shame the temps are poo

#

also wouldn't shorter cards have less sag

runic trail
#

Which would be better, a 2700X and 5700XT or 2700X and GTX 1080?

uneven eagle
#

i think the 5700xt is a bit better

runic trail
#

90$ better?

uneven eagle
#

but i've heard that amd graphic cards have driver problems

runic trail
#

People that have the 5700XT that I came in contact with told me they're perfect now.

uneven eagle
#

nah u should get the gtx

runic trail
#

Alright

#

I'll think about it

#

Because the GTX series (excluding 1660's) drivers aren't supported anymore

uneven eagle
#

some ppl have told me that they screen goes black after 30 min

#

with some rx cards

#

or thet even get the blue screen

#

and idk, i am kinda paranoid about that

lone pond
#

Can someone explain to me why im getting such ass temps. I have a 980ti strix with 3 noctuas strapped on, 0 overclocking, good airflow, and still get up to 80-83 degrees.

Did you say strapped?

GTX Cards aren't supported for what anymore?

@lone pond What framerates/in game settings are you gaming at?

gilded roost
#

If I have a 60 Hz 1920x1080 monitor and a 1080 Ti and I am getting at least 60 fps on the games I play, I would be wasting money buying a 1660 or 2060 right or wrong? If I were to upgrade my monitor to 1440p or 144Hz only then upgrading my 1080 Ti would see a benefit? Please help me understand so I don't throw money out the window. (Edited after I saw my mistake after 10 minutes. I meant to say 1050 Ti, not 1080 Ti)

fallen schooner
#

1080ti is still more than enough for that.

gilded roost
#

Follow up, will there be a "night and day" difference running a RIFT S going from the 1080 Ti to 2060 ko or 1660S?

It is a 2560 x 1440 80 Hz tiny LCD in the headset.

fallen schooner
#

probably not

#

The GTX 1080 Ti dominated the 2070 Super and 5700 XT, both newer GPUs averaged 76 fps at 1440p while the Pascal GPU pushed on to average 88 fps. The 1080 Ti was also 14% faster than the 2070 Super at 4K and 25% faster than the 5700 XT

Oh what a typo will do. Can you excuse me being stupid and go back to my original question and replace 1080 Ti with 1050 Ti. I have been searching 1080 too much.

fallen schooner
#

oh

#

haha

#

then yes, huge night and day difference from a 1050ti

#

🙂

gilded roost
#

For both the RIFT and 60 Hz monitor?

fallen schooner
#

yes.

#

1050ti is a good card... but it's very weak.

#

so if you replace it with a 1660super, or 2060.. you'll see huge gains.

gilded roost
#

The link Kisuke left for the 2060 ko seems like a good price.

#

Thank you for your help!

hollow zephyr
#

Yw!

drowsy island
#

so im currently running a 1060 3gb and i found a 1080ti fe to upgrade to and i was wondering if it would be still future proof for games

fallen schooner
#

decent upgrade from what you have now

pine gulch
#

Good value or no?

arctic phoenix
#

decent if u like rgb

#

on ur graphics

pine gulch
#

Yeah looks sick right

arctic phoenix
#

ya

#

and it has a backplate which is nice

#

i wish i checked mine before i bought it

pine gulch
#

What did you buy?

#

I have a 1030 low profile ddr4 right now so it’s going to be a big upgrade

arctic phoenix
#

i bought the asus phoenix 1 fan :((

#

biggest regret in my build

lone pond
#

Should i get a RX5700 or a RTX 2060

arctic phoenix
#

for what purpose?

lone pond
#

gaming

arctic phoenix
#

only?

#

so no streaming/editing?

#

go for the 5700

#

much better performance for the price

lone pond
#

Ok

arctic phoenix
#

also bios flashable

#

to 5700XT

#

if u ever want to

lone pond
#

Thanks dude

pine gulch
#

What is bios flashable

arctic phoenix
#

?

#

its where you install the bios of another card

pine gulch
#

Why

arctic phoenix
#

to make it perform upto that level

#

the 5700 performs similar to the 2060 super

pine gulch
#

Isn’t hat that illegal

arctic phoenix
#

and flashing the bios to the XT version would make it the same as a 2070 super

#

nope

#

just comes with risks

#

like bricking your card

#

but there seems to be a reasonable amount of successes

pine gulch
#

Yo what’s the cable called you connect to graphics card

wraith pasture
#

Yo what’s the cable called you connect to graphics card
@pine gulch pci riser cable? or are you talking about power cable? then pci-e cable 6+2 pin

mystic shadow
#

or gpu to monitor?

wraith pasture
pine gulch
#

To power it

mystic shadow
#

The Pci-E cable

pine gulch
#

Yeah

rocky hull
#

Intel g41 express chipset

lone pond
#

@obtuse sorrel max settings 1080p. I average around 80-100 fps i guess

narrow barn
#

yeah you cant go wrong with an 5700XT

#

I have a 2070 Super, its great and all but they announced the 3xxx line of RTX cards :S

winged gull
#

Quick question for anyone around, would a 1080 for $600CAD really be worth it when the 2080 is around $660CAD?

rich oasis
#

no

winged gull
#

that's what I thought

narrow barn
#

Yeah if you have the money, go for the RTX

rich oasis
#

@winged gull a 2070s is the same as 1080 ti

narrow barn
#

^^

#

only different is tensor cores, and I don't use RTX very often at all in the games ive played

winged gull
#

so why the HELL does Novidya think it's okay to price the 1080 for $1000-1500 brand new so that people selling used ones can try charging $600?

#

When they themselves price the 2080 for 600-1200 for the TI

rich oasis
#

who?

winged gull
#

Nvidia

dreamy dragonBOT
#
Vlady#8888 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

rich oasis
#

you know nividia doesn't sell used cards lol

winged gull
#

I know

#

I found the used one on Kijiji

#

he doesn't want to drop it below $600 because "You can still buy them brand new for $1000+"

arctic phoenix
#

lmao

#

check ebay or r/hardwareswap

winged gull
#

yeah, I haven't checked r/harwareswap, thanks for the suggestion

#

I want to buy used cause I want to try to save money. But I might end up just buying brand new

narrow barn
#

it doesnt hurt buying a brand new card

winged gull
#

yeah, the 2070S looks tempting af

narrow barn
#

thats what I'm using, pretty satifised coming from a 1050 ti

winged gull
#

yeah that's gonna be my upgrade too

#

but my 1050ti is in my laptop

narrow barn
#

its not terrible for laptops imo

#

just for desktop graphics, its just a entry level card

winged gull
#

it is actually amazing, but it does get really hot sometimes

#

love it in my laptop

narrow barn
#

yeah when I had it, I would even max out Witcher 3 @ about 40-60 fps

#

wasnt bad at all

drowsy island
#

Would that 1080ti fe at 550 worth the money

rigid crag
#

No, not imo

#

Most I'd pay for a 1080ti now is 300

#

If you want to drop 550 dollars on a gpu I would wait till 3000 series drops this year. It'll last you way longer than a 1080ti thats for sure

They all sold out or something?

merry tide
#

any recommendations on brands for GPUs? i know I want a 2070 super. This is my first build so i am unsure of the most reliable brands for GPUs

#

I've been torn between ASUS and Zotac

lone pond
#

I've had very good experience with Gigabyte. Used ASUS in the past until Newegg ended up having to bite the bullet on a bunch of RMAs because ASUS has no customer service to speak of. Can't speak on Zotac, never used or trusted them.

merry tide
#

I saw some Gigabyte ones actually in stock right now, wasn't sure if that was a good sign or a bad sign with nearly all other brands not having any stock

torpid garden
#

Vote with your wallet

lone pond
#

Giga has been pushing to get things back in stock I know.

merry tide
#

Well all the ones i have seen (other than some of the extreme end) have all ranged 500 to 600$ so looking at price wasn't helping

lone pond
#

Yeah, price is a bit insane right now.

gilded roost
#

I like EVGA cards.

merry tide
#

I was gonna wait for (hopefully) the new series to come out to possibly lower the prices

lone pond
#

I've heard good things about EVGA too. Haven't used one personally.

#

I grabbed a 1660S last month to tide me over until the new ones came out, hoping for the same thing.

merry tide
#

honestly doesn't matter at this point until PSUs come back into stock

jovial ferry
#

I'd recommend EVGA for good service

lone pond
#

Yeah, the only part of my new system I could get now are the SSDs. 😦

merry tide
#

yea i was lucky to grab my motherboard, someone has been reselling them new on amazon for like 600$ when its only worth 380

gilded roost
#

All the reviews I am seeing I am leaning towards a 1660S since the 2060S is great but not amazing for RT.

merry tide
#

i havn't looked much into the 16 series, i was told to shoot for a 2070 or 2080 since i am making a "long lasting" build

lone pond
#

Ideally yeah

#

My build is set to have a 2070S, once all this chaos settles down.

merry tide
#

yea of course the one time I actually decide this all happens...

lone pond
#

Yup, I'm upgrading after like 6 years of building comps for everyone else and neglecting mine because I wasn't really using it. lol

pine gulch
#

Gpu prices dropping anytime soon?

lone pond
#

Going to be a few months at best I would say

pine gulch
#

I’m thinking about buying 1660 super

#

How to set graphics card to boost clock?

gilded roost
#

You can safely overclock using MSI afterburner. It looks at the bios to make sure you don't fry it. The way GPUs work they have boost algorithms, a logic in them that says if power limit, voltage and temperature are not at their maximum then allow frequency to increase until either those maximums are met or the max table frequency is met.

pine gulch
#

okay thank you sir

pine gulch
#

hows temps on it

warm coral
#

is the 5600xt a good card? I've seen that's its relatively cheap with some good performance but I've also seen that it's apparently very unstable

lone pond
#

38C idle, and ...

next fiber
#

@warm coral its good but the problem is the drivers so i would personally go with a NVIDIA graphics card

lone pond
#

So many issues with the drivers on Red over the years. Gave up on them.

warm coral
#

I thought amd had "fixed" their drivers since the new cards were released?

lone pond
#

They like to break them just as often as they fix them

#

Keeps them employed I think

#

brb with a load temp

next fiber
#

I would just stick with team green tbh

lone pond

lone pond
#

Black and Red vs White and Blue, lol

pine gulch
#

lmao

#

do you think your card will fit?

lone pond
#

Hard to tell just how far those fans stick out

#

Need roughly 1.75" past the end of the motherboard. There is some clearance behind, but not much.

pine gulch
#

yeah im going to mesaure right now

#

Do you know what it is for?

lone pond
#

Some cards (like my last one) will require more power than others. I'm not a fan of how that particular design works. In the case of the Giga 1660S, it will only use one anyway.

pine gulch
#

Alright cool

#

How did u hide yours

lone pond
#

Mine doesn't have the jumper like yours, fully modular psu, so if I needed the second it's separate. As for the way I've got the one I'm using, it's run through the shroud.

pine gulch
#

Can I remove to?

lone pond
#

It's possible if you want to custom wire it.

pine gulch
#

Oh

#

Damn

#

Do you think I should remove the ssd Brackets?

lone pond
#

The fans themselves are the what I'm worried about clearance-wise.

pine gulch
#

Okay cool

#

Does add placement matter?

#

M.2 ssd

lone pond
#

Depends on how the board is set up, but I believe you typically start with the top slot and go down.

pine gulch
#

Any speed impacts?

lone pond
#

I'd hit up storage-devices to be sure. I'm just getting into M.2 on my personal rigs and don't have experience with anything MSI.

No I just meant without the mounts it's a cleaner look overall.

Oh alright lol

I have to stop watching this feed. I am locked into 1660S and 2060KO then I look at 1650S and it is comparable for much less then the 1660S. Ignorance is bliss but I am going to keep researching until the 5060S comes out. UGH.

Whos ready for the 3000 series cards?

When is the next Nvidia conference? There last one didnt say anyhting really bout them

lone pond

I had a 1650S, sent it back for a 1660S

gilded roost
#

Really? Please explain.

#

They said the 3000 series will be for servers at first.

rapid herald
#

wym?

#

so when they come out they wont work for the average consumers PC?

gilded roost
#

Eventually but they are aiming at enterprise clients first.

rapid herald
#

so the release date in september wont really be for us then?

#

are you sure your not talking about the ampere thing that they said like a week ago?

gilded roost
#

I think I am. Sorry.

#

I didn't follow it too much. I thought they said it was for enterprise. So I started looking at 1660S

rapid herald
#

so there straight up not releasing it to the public?

#

thats retarted

lone pond
#

At first

rapid herald
#

yeah but weve been waitng for so long. Why not release it to the public? Its a gaming card and a card that can be used for enterprises

#

so were not have to wait till like october at least

gilded roost
#

@lone pond Why did you send back the 1650S?

lone pond
#

It was defective.

#

And they couldn't replace it with the same, so 1660s

maiden sun
#

i wouldn't want a 1650 due to vram

#

like come on

faint steeple
#

4GB is decent enough for light gaming

4gb is double what i have for vram😭

If we're talking Vram 4GB is more than enough for most gaming unless you plan on maxing out every graphic setting you can find.

#

1650 != 1650 Super

#

The difference between both cards' shader cores is the amount of shader cores I have in my GPU

spare relic
#

Ngl if they made a GT 1630 or something with 768 cores and 4GB of RAM and it was cheap I'd buy it

#

Sure that's just a 1050 but the keyword is cheap

#

1050 is still not cheap

gilded roost
#

@narrow barn You don't happen to have an Oculus Rift S do you? I have a 1050 ti now and I am trying to justify upgrading to get rid of some of the jagged edges while not loosing fps. I also don't want to spend money on Half Life: Alyx with this card since the experience won't be what it should.

Have your parents sell it on eBay.

you can sell it, or keep it and as you accumulate parts just build new pcs out of old parts as backups or for other areas lol thats what i do
