You basically have HDD locked at 100% usage 24/7

[brisk flame]

it will seem near unusable at times

yes

[merry rune]

yep

[brisk flame]

SATA III hdds will always be working

[merry rune]

it'll peg your disk usage if not all the time, for the first solid bit of time after you start your machine

[brisk flame]

leaving no bandwidth for programs

[merry rune]

i have a secondary PC at my desk at work and it originally had a 1TB HDD as the boot drive, and the first 10 minutes after booting, it was unusable until the disk activity setled

and that was with a super bare bones installation

[brisk flame]

i have seen a typical windows 10 install after about 6 months of use on a normal HDD. disk usage is a constant 100%

and people want to know why their pc is unusable lol

[covert parcel]

this good

[brisk flame]

yep, thats a good price

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LQsKDx

i can tell you right now that the 3100 will outperform the 2600 in a majority of games

UNLESS you plan on playing games like anno, civ 6, or any other game that can use more than 8 threads

[pine gulch]

Hey how do I AUTO overclock a RTX series Gpu with MSi AFter Burner

[jovial ferry]

Try #overclocking

[warped trail]

what y'alls opinion on 1660 Ti vs 1660 Super? And 2060 vs 2060 Super? I found a 2060 for about $420 (not including Taxes, and it would hopefully be cheaper in the future when I'm actually able to get a PC. But hey I like messing around and Built a PC on PCPartPicker that's always changing in some way or another)

I can't really decide

DM Me or Ping Me with any help. Thanks 👍

[granite juniper]

@warped trail is that in cad? If it is that’s like $10 usd over msrp which isn’t super bad, but if you don’t need the rtx features I’d see if a 5700 is around the same price, close to 2060 super performance. 2060 super is close to 2070, 1660 super is close to 1660 ti (1660 ti is kinda dead bc of 5600 xt and 1660 super)

[merry yew]

@granite juniper but then why do my dumb friends buy the 1660 ti if its 50 dollars over the super version and only 1% better?

[granite juniper]

dunno, maybe they don’t know it exists

also the 1660 super is a newer product than the ti, and it’s not like neck and neck it’s like 5-8% faster (still not a huge amount for $50)

[dreamy dragon]

JD#0502 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[warped trail]

@granite juniper Yeah that's in Canadian. 2060 would be nice, I'll probably just throw a 1660 Super on there for now. Taxes kill the hell outta the Prices on PC Parts especially on GPUs, it's probably the highest costing part no doubt

these are the price differences I'm looking at so Super is the most budget

although who knows what'll get put in it whenever I can actually get a PC

[granite juniper]

yea at those prices 1660S or 2060 if have the budget are good

[sweet olive]

Should I get a 2070 super, I’m getting a r7 3700x 16 gb ddr4

[wary anvil]

What are you wanting to do with the PC?

[sweet olive]

Computer aided design gaming and streaming

[warped trail]

low-key get 32 gigs lmao

my build has 32 gigs of 3200 for $160 Canadian (before taxes)

[sweet olive]

That’s not that bad

[warped trail]

I figured it was a decent deal

I just wish a couple of my parts weren't sold out so I could properly price out my build so I know what I need

[sweet olive]

I did just order a 500 gig ssd so I can put it in my current build that I’m gonna give to my little brother

[warped trail]

nice

[sweet olive]

It’s not the best pc but he will be able to play fort nite and Minecraft like he wants

[warped trail]

Minecraft is best

[sweet olive]

I remember buying it for the Xbox 360

Back in the good days of gaming

[warped trail]

I've had it on 360, then PS3 when I bought myself one and now I have it on PS4

too bad they are taking the servers down end of this year

at least from what I've heard

[wary anvil]

What latency on that ram though JD?

[sweet olive]

3200 he said

[wary anvil]

That's clock speed, not latency. Latency would be the CAS number

[warped trail]

16

[wary anvil]

yeah, good deal then

[warped trail]

it's G.Skill

Ripjaws

[wary anvil]

So @sweet olive, are you looking at the new 2070s or the old 2070s?

[sweet olive]

I really don’t know yet

[wary anvil]

Okay. If it's the new 2070s, it's good. If it's the old 2070s, meh

[humble niche]

what card is best for price to performance?

[rigid crag]

Depends on price

1660 super is a good pick for low 200s

5700xt is good for 400s

[wary anvil]

1660s gang!

[kind wigeon]

@humble niche depends on what ur doing. For most people, integrated graphics is fine for their needs.

1080p gamers, I would go with 1660s

[wary anvil]

Well, this true

Especially if it's an AMD chip

[kind wigeon]

amd does have better integrated graphics

[wary anvil]

Far better

[arctic phoenix]

poggers 1660s

i was gonna get one

[warped trail]

AMD is just better than Intel in general 😈

[arctic phoenix]

but found a 1660ti for cheaper than 1660 super

230$

[granite juniper]

🤔

[warped trail]

that's a good deal

[wary anvil]

1660ti uses ddr6, right?

[arctic phoenix]

ye

[wary anvil]

Good deal then

[humble niche]

am i bottlenecking my 3600 with a rx 580?

[wary anvil]

Maybe. What are you doing with them?

[humble niche]

gaming

and a little video editing

[wary anvil]

So maybe

Probably not too bad though I think

[humble niche]

ty

[flat hamlet]

yes you are @humble niche

I have 1600x and it is bottlenecked by rx580

Its always at 100% when a workload is GPU based

[granite juniper]

that’s also a 3600 vs 1600x

[humble niche]

should i save for a 1080 ti then?

[upper mural]

Its already 4 generations old in a few months. I would consider the 5700xt as a gap stop measure

[humble niche]

k

[upper mural]

But. A 1080 ti is still a fearsome card. If one was at hand for 150$ it is a good deal. But because of the times most people think they are still sitting on gold

[wicked hound]

based on a 1080Ti being between a bit above 5700XT, close to 2070S but lacking RT/Tensor cores and newer NVENC, I'd put a new 1080Ti to be $450 rn. Ideally you should get 70% MSRP for used tbh as that is a % that makes a bit more sense to sacrifice for the "used and is scary for being scam", lack of warranty, and slightly used up lifetime. On average the cheapest 1080Ti is like $400 used/refurbished so not really worth it. Tho in some places you can find it for $320 - $340 which if on the higher side you can haggle with for slightly lower prices

but def worth quite a bit more then $150 used

[humble niche]

most ppl in my area have no clue what prices are and list it above the normal retail price

like one guy selling his 1060 for 280 bucks

or another guy asking 180 for a well used rx 580

any 1080 ti in my area so far is "rare" "exclusive" or something around that line of bull shrimp and around 500-600

[stiff zodiac]

nope

they can sell their stuff on any price they want

thats how much they value it xD

[upper mural]

See now. I got my belly button lint here and I want lots!

[rigid crag]

Uh, they're the same thing

[near slate]

no

thers a difference

[rigid crag]

Oh wait

[near slate]

ye

[rigid crag]

Second one had a higher clock

[near slate]

yup

[rigid crag]

Not worth 50 bucks imo

[near slate]

ok

tjats what im thinking

[rigid crag]

I'm on mobile so it was hard to compare them lol

[near slate]

that and 1mm in length is the only difference

[lone pond]

I'm getting the 3rd option, the Aorus version of those.

[rigid crag]

Aorus version is mmmmh BEAUTIFUL

[near slate]

cool

i would but 500 dollars is alredy alot for me

[rigid crag]

Get a vertical mount for it if you do @lone pond

[near slate]

totally

[lone pond]

That's the plan at least

[rigid crag]

I would do the same if I wasn't paranoid about 3000 series lol

Actually, Not paranoid, just think I should wait lol

[near slate]

hers one thats pretty good if u dont want a case that alredy has the abilty to do that https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-ph-vgpukt-02-black/p/N82E16811984028?Description=universal vertical gpu bracket&cm_re=universal_vertical_gpu_bracket-_-11-984-028-_-Product&quicklink=true

[rigid crag]

I heard its weak metal but once it's installed it shouldn't really matter

[near slate]

heres the build im getting https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/pd/33629072 im saveing up so i can get it all at once

[rigid crag]

Smart

You could save a little money by getting the mp34 instead of the wd black but otherwise, solid list

[near slate]

i just looked at the specs and th 512 has a read of 300o and a write of 1700 andthe wd black has a Max Sequential Read
Up to 3430 MBps and a write of Up to 2600 MBps so imo 7 bucks more is woth that

good idea tho

i also didnt realise that the price went up when i put the wd black into my cart it was 69.99

so its gone up by 10.00

noice

im gonna use the windows key on the laptop im using rn on the pc

[rigid crag]

700 dollar mobo tho

[lone pond]

Yup

[rigid crag]

Why?

[lone pond]

Because I can

[quick edge]

mobo is nearly the price of my entire pc

[rigid crag]

Get cheaper mobo and get a 2080s instead

[lone pond]

I don't want to.

[rigid crag]

Also cl18 ram

Not my money

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[lone pond]

memory won't be running at that speed anyways

[torpid garden]

Why not just go threadripper at that point

I mean, the aorus xtreme is cool

[quick edge]

one of the reviews on the mobo says "Half of the heatsink has to be removed if you want to install more than one M.2 SSD"

which you have

[torpid garden]

And the 3900x at <$400 is insane value imo

But like

eh

[wicked hound]

I mean, 2tb gen4 drives are basically same price/gb as 1tb gen4. With the cost of everything put at better value you can easily get a 2080Ti+better RAM timings
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p6tNwh

Also why a gaming 7.1 gimmick headset?

just some real headphone+actual mic combo is so much better

[lone pond]

You remove the heatsink, to install it , then put the heatsink back on, ffs

Remind me to never link my build again.

[torpid garden]

[quick edge]

Chopsticks pfp is killing me

[dense flicker]

yeah, at least mine is completely gone.

[torpid garden]

Should make it a red dot

[lone pond]

And yeah, I could do a lot of things with that build. But it is what I want, and how I want it.

[unborn spire]

I need someone’s help

My rx 580 is getting really hot on the backplate like extremely hot it burns when I touch it

@cerulean rover need help plz

[cerulean rover]

wha

what does the temps say

on whatever software you use to monitor temps

because like 80c isn't too hot for GPUs but likely will burn you when you touch it

[unborn spire]

It’s like 90c

Or 80-85

[cerulean rover]

it's fine

[unborn spire]

It won’t turn off or on tho give me a min I have to figure out some things but the amount of wattage says 404 and it’s a 500 watt

That was after gaming for 20 min tho

Fortnite low settings and capped

It would be okay tho?

Should I undervolt?!?

@cerulean rover

[cerulean rover]

sure if you want it to be cooler

80-90c is safe enough if that's the highest it goes

[unborn spire]

Ok cool

[wary anvil]

A white one

[lone pond]

Does anyone know a lot about gpus cause I’m having this big problem with mine and not sure how to fix it

[jovial ferry]

Best just to post the problem and see if someone know how to fix it

[lone pond]

It’s kinda hard to explain

Kinda hard to help

I built my pc in January and ever since I got it if I play for a really long time straight like 4-5 hours eventually My screens will just lose signal and I’ll still a black screen it still tells be hdmi so it’s not completely black. After like 15 seconds I will be able to see my screen again but it will keep freezing and eventually keep going black again I just bought some more thermal paste to see if that will help my gpu temps are around 31c though so I’m not sure if that’s the issue. My gpu is the Vega 56 sapphire pulse if anyone has any ideas I’d really appreciate it.

[limber flax]

It could be a setting in your display that's causing it to reboot

[compact sigil]

Anyone know any good vertical gpu mounts that aren't that expensive

[restive ibex]

ok

[wary anvil]

Wasn't there some sort of "Don't vertical mount your GPU" thing?

[granite juniper]

as long as the side panel doesnt choke the gpu, it should be fine but probably be a little warmer

but if the gpu is really close to the side panel its gonna be a lot hotter

[near slate]

@compact sigil https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-ph-vgpukt-02-black/p/N82E16811984028?Description=gpu mount&cm_re=gpu_mount-_-11-984-028-_-Product&quicklink=true

[compact sigil]

Thx

[humble niche]

is a 1080 ti still worth it in 2020?

[wary anvil]

Not really I'd say

[crystal nymph]

if you get a good deal on a used one

then maybe

[wary anvil]

Well, yeah

[formal garnet]

whats the best way to sell a used gpu

[amber flax]

You could try HardwareSwap on Reddit.

Or eBay.

[merry rune]

i sell almost everything on hardwareswap, just tend to have better luck

ebay is much more hit/miss

[nimble hamlet]

ok so i am very confused

i dont understand the difference between a nvidia rtx 2080 ti founders edition (sold by nvidia) and an asus rog strix rtx 2080 ti

i dont know which one to buy lol

the asus one is more expenesive i believe

there are so many different rtx 2080 tis

and they have the same specs

i dont even know which one is better

[jovial ferry]

If they have the same clocks (boost and base), then the only real difference is cooling

[nimble hamlet]

so what is better

air or water

i think water is right

[fast field]

i have a dumb question. i have a 3vga 750w psu does it matter witch power vga 1 or vga 2 out psu i connect to the 6 pin and then the 8 pin on my 1080ti? im switching out my 1080 for 1080ti. i have two gaming computers one backup and want to switch the cards

[jovial ferry]

Honestly depends. You can have bad aios that are worse then air. Check reviews and benchmarks

[nimble hamlet]

ok

hmmm newegg has the cheapest rtx 2080 asus 11 gb gddr 6

wow its 1700 cad

lowest price so far

amazon way too exepnsive

[jovial ferry]

If you keep an eye out for warehouse deals on amazon you can get a real deal

Like I got a new EVGA 2080 TI XC Ultra for under 1K

[nimble hamlet]

nice

that card is the best one lol

how

lucky

on newegg its 1800 now

[jovial ferry]

🙂

[nimble hamlet]

its 1800 its a good price imo

like my budget is 4000$ for pc

maybe more

i want one that will last me a very long time

but i am waiting for the rtx 3000 series

but i am not sure if i should get the 3000 series or stick to the 2080 ti

[dreamy dragon]

Antagonistricks#0914 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[kind wigeon]

wtf r u doing with that?

@nimble hamlet

like im tryna fix sli with my specs

[wary anvil]

That does remind me though, what do you do with that system @kind wigeon?

[kind wigeon]

im working on a project to fix sli, by using two GPUs to render 1 extremely powerful gpu

that one GPU can be used universally as the computer's GPU

so singular apps don't have to work multiGPU into their code

[wary anvil]

Driver dev sort of a deal?

[kind wigeon]

yeah

[wary anvil]

Cool beans. How is it going?

[kind wigeon]

I started a few weeks ago, and I'm making progress. I've managed to design a pretty basic gpu, but I have to design an entirely new GPU altogether, which is actually much easier virtually than a physical GPU. It looks really promising so far

It would be really cool if I could get AMD or NVIDIA to work with me and add that kind of driver support officially

[wary anvil]

So you're basically designing a virtual monster of a gpu that interfaces with the drivers, and that virtual monster delegates out to the individual GPUs?

[kind wigeon]

yes

pretty much

[frigid rune]

I have an 800 dollar build limit what gpu should i get

[kind wigeon]

1650s, 1660s

[wary anvil]

1660s

If you go AMD and have parts to reuse, You might be able to squeeze in a 2060

[nimble hamlet]

@kind wigeon ?

i will play games

play games like the new flight sim

that has needs a great gpu

[kind wigeon]

xplane 11?

[nimble hamlet]

fs2020

you should see that flight sim

its beautiful

it needs 32 gb ram

a good gpu

good everything basically

and then i wanna play bf5

a game with beautiful graphics

and then i play siege which doesent need much

look up fs2020

by microsoft

idk man

i am still trying to find good stuff

the rtx 3080 impresses me

i am waiting for it

but i am not sure

[kind wigeon]

well

if ur not impressed by the 2080 ti or the titan rtx 👐

like

you can make a PC for fs2020 with less than 2k

but I mean

if you really want to spend that much, if I were u, recycle old ram, maybe psu, def case, go titan rtx, 9th or 10th gen i7, allocate 500-700$ for psu, mobo, and ram, and spend the rest on other stuff @nimble hamlet

but fyi

you can do this on a PC less than 1k

[mellow kiln]

R3 3300x + rtx2060 should be an excellent pairing for mfs2020

[formal garnet]

i am looking to purchase a new graphics card and I am looking for around a 200-300 dollar card, I was thinking maybe a 1660 super but i need some guidance on brands and bang for my buck. would it be worth it to spend maybe more for the rtx 2060.

[stone fable]

so i built my dad a work station pc a year or so ago and my buddy gave me a old gtx 970 or something while i was building my gaming pc ... long story short i want to upgrade his gpu to something nothing to expensive but id like to support multiple monitors and using zoom

[hexed forge]

zoom like the chat and video chat app?

[stone fable]

yeah

[hexed forge]

970 should be able to handle that no problem

[stone fable]

okay thanks, i just wanted some extra input cause i was looking at like a 1660

[hexed forge]

you can get a small boost by geting a 1660 super but idk if it would be worth it

are you gaming?

[stone fable]

no

well

maybe a little if a friend is over

[hexed forge]

if the most intesive thing you are doing is zoom i wouldn't bother upgrading the gpu

the 970 is a pretty decent gpu

anything better will be about 300 or more

or i guess about 250 or more

[stone fable]

got ya

thanks man

[hexed forge]

no problem 🙂

[lone pond]

Recommendations for 5700xt, which brand is the way to go

[crystal nymph]

Anything that has decent cooling is fine, as long as its at least somewhat reputable

[lone pond]

Well once it's out of box n working it all good

Thinking of getting a r5 3600 to go with it

[jade tinsel]

[lament locust]

Hi, my friend gived me his old graphic card and when I put it into the soket, only fan works but no image

I tryed to connect to a hdmi monitor or to an vga monitor and nothing

[sour lintel]

@lament locust have you looked in settings to see which is being used? if so try updating drivers...

[lament locust]

Wich video cars is used?

How I can see setting without video

[copper jackal]

https://i.imgur.com/oS3v7ob.jpg

[lament locust]

Who can help me please

[wary anvil]

What is this I see?

Is that a graphics card with a fan on each side?

What is this cooling solution?

[granite juniper]

honestly whoever made that was on crack

[wary anvil]

On the other hand, might suffocate less in SLI

[wary anvil]

@copper jackal Where did you find these?

[copper jackal]

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-pictured

[wary anvil]

Any ideas on how reliable the source is?

[copper jackal]

chiphell is where all the leaks seem to come from, but that doesn't mean they are all real

this however looks to elaborate to be fake

[wary anvil]

On the other hand, the heat sink design is kinda odd

[acoustic ginkgo]

Prototypes tend to be pretty janky-looking

[stiff zodiac]

@torpid garden 3080 ti leak photo

ow theres already above

[lone pond]

it looks 🥵

[wary anvil]

I kinda like the blue color

[royal copper]

I’m not sure how I feel about that

I don’t love it but I don’t hate it

[wary anvil]

I want an entre PC in metallic baby blue now

[granite juniper]

it looks really funky

[copper jackal]

the blue is just the protective plastic peel over the metal, but yea it does look like a nice colour

[wary anvil]

Every piece pf hardware should come in a shade of blue

[rose agate]

Its like a weird push blower

I guess it looks cool

Just wondering what temps will be like

[torpid garden]

Those look like engineering sample prototypes

[stiff zodiac]

yeah

and they look like intel xe proto

wait leme find it

or fan art

[royal copper]

That looks cool

[stiff zodiac]

it has mr stark reactor

xD

to power 500w

[wary anvil]

3D printed GPU shrouds might actually be a kinda cool business

[granite juniper]

🤔 so the 3080 design has 2 fans https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/50c12b7a42983e17389ebdb6ae5e8b169988a3ec2d56912c27e1550c0b248fe3.gif?w=800&h=420

[wary anvil]

The sample one seems to at least

Which s kinda promising from a power consumption standpoint

[lone pond]

People think it looks ugly i personally like it

[jovial ferry]

It's meh in my books

[lucid abyss]

I'm hyped to get my 5700xt

[brisk flame]

it

looks

AMAZING

thermals suck? maybe

but damn do it look good

[hexed forge]

idk how i feel about it

[brisk flame]

weird spot for pcie power plugs, but idk where else they would go lol

[hexed forge]

altho its designed better imo for normal plug in but it would look bad in vertical i think lol

[brisk flame]

the middle of the card would look dumm

[hexed forge]

i mean it would be easier to hide or manage the cable with em off to the side like that

[brisk flame]

i like the look of the heatsink, i wouldnt mind if all you saw at the front was just the heatsink

[wicked hound]

luckily power efficiency is expected to be much better then on Turning as that cooler doesnt really look all that efficient

semi blower style + 90 degree turns for air

[wary anvil]

Probably not final design though

The airflow might actually be better this way. The one side the air is flowing across the grill, the other it only has to go through a 45 degree angle

[brisk flame]

also, is it all one giant heatsink? i think the silver part is just an external decal

[stark patio]

should I go for an RX 580 for performance or RX 570 for bang-for-the-buck?

[brisk flame]

are you talking brand new or used off ebay

[stark patio]

brand new

[brisk flame]

well, at a 25 dollar difference, and reasonably similar performance, i guess the RX 570 is good enough

[warped trail]

I tell yah this keyboard is a lot to get used to

mousepad too actually XD

[limpid mural]

The rx570 is kinda trash

[merry rune]

i just replaced my RX570 today, speaking of, got a 580 for really cheap

so it'll last me and once 3000 series comes out, i'll watch prices on 1660S or see where 2060's drop

[lone pond]

i have an i5-8400 and a 1060 6gb if i get a 2060 super will it do anything

[rigid crag]

Uh... ya

[wary anvil]

It will function as a small space heater for one

[merry rune]

single fan rx580 whoaaaa

[ember remnant]

lol

[merry rune]

it's clocked a little slower than your typical RX580, but still noticeably faster than my 570, and it was cheap

[cloud mural]

hi

[austere monolith]

Does anybody own a 1660 ti? Also, how does it run?

[hollow zephyr]

@austere monolith what price you getting it at lmaio

*8lmao

[bitter jungle]

1660 ti is good. For 1080p ultra gaming it’s great and even 1440p lower settings sometimes

[crisp raven]

What would be better in general even if both are bad just what would be better i7 10700 with 1650 Super or i7 9700 with 1660 Super or if anyone has any other prebuilt recommendations I’m open to looking at them

[bitter jungle]

Dude. We’re all telling you to not buy a prebuilt because we know that prebuilts have bad value. You’ve already received your answer

And we’ve already said the second one is better multiple times

[crisp raven]

I didn’t see anyone say that maybe I’m just blind

Sorry bout that 😅

Also mainly cause right now it’s just me and my mom looking for gaming computers I’m trying to learn what I can and look but she doesn’t want to custom build or let me build my own right now cause we’re on a budget just looking for something simpler as a graduation gift for me

[bitter jungle]

Even something like NZXT BLD might be better

[crisp raven]

Like also when I say gaming I don’t mean things like Triple A games just simpler things higher probs CS Go sonetimes

What’s that

[bitter jungle]

It’s a service by NZXT that is basically a custom build but NZXT does it

Just look up NZXT BLD on google

Wait wait wait. You’re spending $1k on esports games?

[crisp raven]

No no I’m just looking for a decent computer honestly

if everything I’m saying is confusing I know it’s confusing me too

[pine gulch]

Can I install a old graphics card on some old dell computer that’s not for gaming?

[bitter jungle]

Depends on the PC @pine gulch

Usually yeah

[pine gulch]

Alright cool

[bitter jungle]

What Dell PC is it

If it’s really old like with a Pentium 4 or something no

Core 2 duo is the worst CPU is so anything with

And even then it’s not good

[pine gulch]

I think core 2 duo

[bitter jungle]

I wouldn’t

Probably won’t be worth jt

[pine gulch]

Wait no

Core i3 2120

Old i3

[bitter jungle]

Still probably not good

[pine gulch]

It’s just to play Minecraft and robotic

Nothing good

[bitter jungle]

Maybe pairing it with something like an r7 250?

That might be a pretty decent pair

Or an r7 260x or something like that

That’d play those games fine

[pine gulch]

I got a gtx 1030

It’s small and only needs power from motherboard

[bitter jungle]

*gt

Gt 1030 would work fine too

[spare relic]

Minecraft on an old i3 😔

tbf it's probably okay

[bitter jungle]

It will be

[spare relic]

even better using Optifine

[pine gulch]

Alright cool

[spare relic]

I have i7-4790 + GT 730, so for Minecraft, expect better graphics but worse CPU performance, I get around 100-300fps with custom shaders off, I think

I can load tons of chunks before performance starts to tank, but 10-16 chunks should be handled well on these old CPUs

[crisp raven]

Minecraft is more CPU oriented right

would 10700 or 9700 be better for that just curious

i assume whichever one has more memory in it

[spare relic]

the default graphics settings are laughably easy to run

I wouldn't even bother weighing that difference though

just say the bigger one is better and be done wit it

[crisp raven]

but it is like more CPU than GPU right

what about modded too

[spare relic]

most feature oriented mods are more intense on RAM than anything else

the more mods loaded, the more RAM needed

[crisp raven]

yeah didnt think of that

[spare relic]

kind of like 1.15.1 vs 1.6.1 or something, lots more features through the years, same need for RAM probably

[crisp raven]

yeah true

[versed bronze]

I have a question

can I use a 1060 and sli it in a pc that uses a 1660 super

[shell mason]

you mean software SLI? I mean i guess you could

it probably wouldn't be a great idea though

[cyan leaf]

i currently have a msi armor rx 570 8gb oc as my gpu in my build. what would be a decent upgrade that isn't too expensive

[brisk flame]

how much are you looking to spend?

like, the 1660 super is a worthwhile increase in performance from an RX 570

[pine gulch]

@bitter jungle yo my graphics card isn’t fitting in the case

[bitter jungle]

Is your graphics card high profile while the case is low profile @pine gulch ?

There’s really nothing I can do if it doesn’t fit...

[pine gulch]

It’s low profile graphics card

And case I dont know

[bitter jungle]

Is it just too long then?

Or do you not have the right PCIe slot?

[pine gulch]

The metal thing with hdmi

[bitter jungle]

Can you just take a picture of the case and the graphics card and dm it to me or something

[pine gulch]

Okay

[slender vigil]

So whenever I put my GPU in my system I turn it on and all lights turn on for a second then everything shuts down but when I take it off and start using on board graphics it works any idea what’s wrong, I tested the GPU in a different motherboard it works

The one that ain’t working is a Z490-G

Both slots won’t work

what does the XS in "MSI GeForce GTX 1660 DirectX 12 GTX 1660 VENTUS XS 6G OC 6GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card " mean?

[lone pond]

Link?

Best I can come up with is it's referring to the fact that it's a smaller card. Or silent in reference to a supposedly unique fan blade. Both fit the card.

[wintry imp]

i just need a gpu for microATX

and wondering if it would fit

bruh it was just on sale and its offsale now

[lone pond]

Max GPU Length - 204 mm
Card Dimensions (L x H) - 8.03" x 5.04"

[wintry imp]

it said 20 hours

wth

[lone pond]

https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-gtx-1660-gtx-1660-ventus-xs-6g-oc/p/N82E16814137400

There's multiple listings for it.

[wintry imp]

oh wait nvm it still is on sale my pc just tweaking

you know if that gpu would work with this case?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R7N31KX?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

wait actually nvm its gddr5

gddr6 is better right?

[lone pond]

Easily, it shows 330mm for max GPU length, which is effectively a full length triple fan card.

[wintry imp]

wait really

thats good

[lone pond]

Yeah, plenty of room.

[wintry imp]

wait so would, a triple fan gpu be better than a regular 2 fan?

[lone pond]

https://www.newegg.com/darkflash-dlm-21/p/2AM-008X-00010?Description=DLM21 Black&cm_re=DLM21_Black-_-2AM-008X-00010-_-Product&quicklink=true

[wintry imp]

uhh

[lone pond]

Same case but through NE and same price -shrug- As for the fans, it's sort of a moot point, the argument can go either way.

[wintry imp]

it sucks that alot of the cards are out of stock rn

I dont have as much options

[lone pond]

Yup. My whole build is basically out of stock.

[wintry imp]

you are building one rn too? or you built it before this whole thing

wait the card i originally wanted is actually back on sale now after like a whole week

i need to buy it asap

[lone pond]

Could go with https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1660-super-gv-n166soc-6gd/p/N82E16814932224?Item=N82E16814932224 also. The fans are a bit different so they should cool better. (they help each other instead of blowing against each other)

And it's $10 cheaper, with no rebate to mess with.

[wintry imp]

would you reccomend the one you sent or this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YXQS33J/ref=dp_cerb_2

recommend*

[lone pond]

I'd go with the Giga personally

[wintry imp]

would amp mean better performance?

[lone pond]

Nah. It's just their name for it being overclocked.

Giga says Super OC, Zotac says Super AMP basically

[wintry imp]

Ah ok

but do both come factory overclocked?

[lone pond]

Yup

[wintry imp]

hmm

and which company do you think is more reputable? I know both are good, but which one have you heard better about

[lone pond]

I trust Giga more. Not so much on Zotac. Also that Zotac on Amazon isn't actually in stock until July 7th.

[wintry imp]

alright I might just go with the gigabyte probably

In the event I come across and issue there is a 30 day refund on newegg right?

[lone pond]

Refund or Replace for 30 days.

[wintry imp]

alright thats good

thanks for the help

[lone pond]

No problem

[thick mango]

so does anyone know when we will know a price tag for the 3000 RTX series?

[rigid crag]

When they're released

[kind wigeon]

@thick mango I have a friend who manages r&d at nvidia, they said they're announcing specs and prices at or before computex 2020

[thick mango]

@kind wigeon ty

[marsh vapor]

How are temperatures for 2 fan gpus v a single fan in the back blowing out the back of the case

[lone pond]

Hard to say, the airflow throughout the rest of the case can have a lot to do with that.

[wicked hound]

I mean, depends on a lot with the GPU itself as well

how good the cooler is, heat output

[lone pond]

A lot of variables.

[wicked hound]

blower style could most likely beat worst dual axial made

if everything else is same

[marsh vapor]

i was looking at a rx 570 and saw both designs

[wicked hound]

unless your case has little airflow, dual axial will be better on average

[lone pond]

The new Giga I've got has fans spinning in opposite directions. Seems to work pretty well.

[marsh vapor]

My 2060 has that feature

Thanks for the input guys

[lone pond]

It's staying a bit cooler than my previous gpu, and both are 3x.

[livid heron]

Okay so I’ve had this rx 580 8g for a while now and I recently put an aio in my system. While I was doing this I didn’t remove the gpu at all and now that I’ve gotten everything back together the system is turning on and fans are spinning and everything seems fine except the gpu fan isn’t spinning up and there’s no video output

And I don’t have a smart fan gpu

I’ve tried remounting and all that

What should I do?

[crystal nymph]

Try another PCIe slot?

[livid heron]

I don’t have room for another

[cyan swift]

Can someone help me? My gpu is plugged in correctly but it isn’t showing on my monitor

I’ve tried unplugging

Restarting

Nothing works

[kind wigeon]

what gpu

on what mobo

@cyan swift

maybe try another pcie slot

or a different system, if you have another system

[cyan swift]

It worked before

And I don’t

My PS4 works with the same cable

So it gotta be my gpu

@kind wigeon

[kind wigeon]

ok

what GPU

@cyan swift

[cyan swift]

1060

[kind wigeon]

did anything break? did you hear something that might have been worrying when you put it in?

[cyan swift]

Not that I know of

@kind wigeon

The pcie won’t lock, if that helps

[kind wigeon]

hm

im not sure

[livid heron]

Anyone have any idea about my problem?

[crimson echo]

Check the wires? Most of my PC issues have to do with my Memory sticks.

[merry rune]

is the 5500XT worth buying?

[lapis dagger]

What should i upgrade to i have a 1650 rn i dont wanna go above 400

dollars

[merry rune]

dell has a sale on the VisionTek 4GB 5500XT for $149, 8GB $179

[lapis dagger]

is it good?

[merry rune]

oh, i was just adding to my question about the 5500XT, not saying you should upgrade to that from your 1650

[lapis dagger]

oh ok

[pine gulch]

2060 Maby or 5700 xt

2070 super

[dire epoch]

@lapis dagger I would look into a 2060ko. It's around $300 and it's ~93% better

[sweet olive]

I just found a local rx 480 for 105 steal or no deal?

[rigid crag]

No deal

Pay the 50 extra and get a 1650 super

I wouldnt buy a used 580 for 100

[sweet olive]

No I don’t need it I got a 580 for 60 in my pc rn

[rigid crag]

Why would you buy it then?

Cuz its not a good price lmao

[sweet olive]

I was just asking

[rigid crag]

Ok

[sweet olive]

Any of this a good deal I really have no idea

[rigid crag]

Eh cpu and mobo are almost new prices so...

Nothing there I would really consider a steal

[sweet olive]

Ok 👍 thanks for letting me kno

[high hollow]

Hi, doing a threadripper build but I dont have enough money for a 2080 ti yet, what would a good placeholder gpu be? I was looking into a rx 570 OC for a few months until I can afford a 2080 ti

[rich oasis]

@high hollow in a few months rtx 3000 is comming out

[high hollow]

right

but what would be a good placeholder till then?

[wary anvil]

How long will you need it for?

If you can get the next GPU within amazon's refund period.......

[normal hawk]

@high hollow which threadripper are you using?

[high hollow]

a 3960x

[wary anvil]

@half patrol Talk here, not in build pics

[half patrol]

Of course

Thank u

[wary anvil]

But yeah, We still don't now exactly when the GPUs are going to come out, or even what the line up will be. The specs are looking good though. There's a possibility of more than 5,000 cuda core in the top of the line models

Also on-chip memory instead of ddr6

[mystic shadow]

What graphics card should I get between 200 and 300?

[kind wigeon]

1660s

[mystic shadow]

and which one, specificly??

[kind wigeon]

The 1660 super

Any

Whichever floats your boat and/or fits in your case

[mystic shadow]

is there gtx 1660 supers with rgb?

other than gaming x

[kind wigeon]

Y do u need rgb?

Just get an rgb strip

[livid heron]

Yo my stuff works now

[lone pond]

Gigabyte gtx 1660s has an rgb logo

[hollow zephyr]

ya

its sexy

[normal hawk]

Does NVENC only work if I stream from that PC? or would it not really matter if I have a 2nd PC in the first place?

[crystal nymph]

That would only work on the one you are streaming from

And having a second PC is still useful because you could have once PC doing the gaming, and one PC doing the encoding/streaming

[normal hawk]

Sounds good to me lol

[royal copper]

If you had a second pc you would use a capture card to get the display of the other pc. Don’t need nvenc or software encoding on the gaming pc

[normal hawk]

ty

I got a capture card off newegg for 190$, hopefully it works out.

[crystal nymph]

what capture card did you get?

[normal hawk]

HD60 Pro from Elgato

[crystal nymph]

Nice

[normal hawk]

should be here by friday.

[formal garnet]

what 1660 super should i buy

[lone pond]

I'd recommend Gigabyte, triple fan if you can fit it.

Same thing but 2 x fan

[formal garnet]

alright thanks

[lone pond]

No problem

[wintry imp]

yo

instead of the triple

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1660-super-gv-n166sgaming-oc-6gd/p/N82E16814932223?item=N82E16814932223&source=region&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords-pc&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-pc-_-pla-_-video+card+-+nvidia-_-N82E16814932223&gclid=CjwKCAjw5vz2BRAtEiwAbcVIL2h5luThTVap04pXLZzBiuw1Svucs1Zp9rr8TfpHYi2AXEGcjxu7URoC2AMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

is that good?

instead of dual*

[lone pond]

That triple is what I have in my system right now

[wintry imp]

so yesterday you said it would fit in my case rn right?

[lone pond]

Should do

You had the icue case iirc?

[wintry imp]

no the darkflash one

[lone pond]

Ahh, yeah, should fit no probem

So many cases, lol

[wintry imp]

lol

all card heights are the same?

its only length that matters no?

[spare relic]

no

card height varies

[lone pond]

They can vary but shouldn't be an issue in that case. That's a rather large mini/itx case

[wintry imp]

i have it rn and it looks small

But again

ive never seen a gpu in person

[lone pond]

the triple fan is about 10.75 inches long.

from the measurements they give for that case it should fit.

[wintry imp]

The tripple fan says its for ATX and its 280mm long

[lone pond]

And the case measurements say max gpu length is 300 or 330

[wintry imp]

yea its 330

it should be good tho

extra 50mm

in space

[lone pond]

Yup

[wintry imp]

I need some good case fans too

are these good

[lone pond]

when i say large for an itx case, I've seen them under 10" easy, lol

[wintry imp]

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-ACFAN00137A-Value-Pack-Pressure-Optimized/dp/B07GB5JRTZ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&keywords=arctic+p12+pwm&qid=1590794551&sr=8-1&th=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=pc5_30_20-20&linkId=7f2951a9c1bc5060ec74de765d259f89&language=en_US#

ah ok

under 10inches in length huh

I got an extra 4 inches

[lone pond]

Yup

Haven't seen those fans before

[wintry imp]

hmm

You know any good ones that arent overpriced

it has good ratings tho

So i might just go with this

[lone pond]

Could be good. There are so many companies making fans now that my not having heard of or used them isn't a nail in the coffin so to speak

Otherwise I know DarkFlash the company that makes that case also makes fans. But again I have no personal experience with them.

[wintry imp]

oh they do have some

they look nice

[lone pond]

Yeah, they do have a nice design

[wintry imp]

but its 3.9

and it only has like 200 reviews

compared to arctic with 3k reviews

and like 4+ stars

[lone pond]

I'd probably go with the Arctic than

[wintry imp]

yea

[winter cosmos]

Any 9ne have issues with EVGAs precision x1 software and destiny2?

Running agtx1660 xc black

[mystic shadow]

Is like, the only card I should get between 200 and 300 is gtx 1660 super?

[granite juniper]

5600 xt is pretty nice

[mystic shadow]

More on the expensive side tho

[granite juniper]

ya

1660S is low end of the budget and 5600 xt is high end

[mystic shadow]

Want one with rgb, but def won’t sync with my gigabyte mobo

I can’t find any

That’s gigabyte with rgb

should have gotten tomahawk max instead of aorus pro WiFi

[bitter jungle]

I don’t like gigabyte stuff personally

Because of stuff like this

[wicked hound]

Pro WiFi is quite a bit better. Dual NVMe M2, better LAN/sound chip, more x16 slots iirc, WiFi

[mystic shadow]

Too little product to sync with

Wish I got tomahawk max or a asus novo

Mobo

[acoustic ginkgo]

What cards would be a clear upgrade from a GTX 1060? (I'm still hoping to build a new computer this year...)

[bitter jungle]

RTX 2060?

2060?

5700 XT?

Really depends on budget

[kind wigeon]

@acoustic ginkgo budget

it's not really worth upgrading if it's less than 400$ I'd say

[acoustic ginkgo]

I can't salvage the 1060 or I would. (Considering it's built into my laptop and all)

[normal hawk]

The 2060 is a decent jump from the 1060 antago. 🤔

[loud ledge]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087J3KM2X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9e-3Eb0WCYKQF what is the difference from there ultra one

[fleet egret]

Which better Gigabyte Geforce GTX Windforce 1080 TI or Gigabyte Geforce GTX Windforce 2080 TI

[crystal nymph]

2080 TI is significantly better

[humble niche]

at around 2x the price

[maiden sun]

@loud ledge id get the 5700xt thicc 3 ultra

[runic halo]

Hey I'm doing my first build on a computer and I needed help on a picking a graphics card I didnt know if this would be a good place to ask for help?

[wary anvil]

Yup, is a good place

[runic halo]

I'd like to do streaming, recording, and playing games with computer. I didnt know if the graphics card would effect that

[loud ledge]

I may get a RTX 2070 Super any model recommendation

[lone pond]

Gigabyte

[rich oasis]

Evga but it has no back plate

[hexed forge]

evga but not black edition. also my evga 2070 s does have a back plate

[woven tartan]

i just got the asus strix rtx 2070. was that a hit or a miss?

[wicked hound]

non Super? for $450+ I'd assume as well? overpriced if so

[woven tartan]

yeah non super i paid 443

[wicked hound]

2060S is about $400 on average. So you spent $43 extra for 1% extra perf more or less

given you seem capable of spending a lot on mobo, getting a 2070S for an extra $50 more then what you already spent would've been better

[rigid crag]

Definitely ^

[woven tartan]

so strix cards dont offer anything that makes them better than other cards?

[granite juniper]

they have good coolers but usually are expensive

[rigid crag]

Sometimes they have a small factory overclock

[woven tartan]

does the strix allow you to make overclocking easier also or?

[wicked hound]

Eh... Kinda. Yes in terms of hardware. No in terms of GPU BIOS/software

quite locked down

[loud ledge]

EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC ultra at 700 dollars I bought that

thats like $250 higher than it should be

[loud ledge]

[lone pond]

Wait, yeah CAD or USD

[loud ledge]

USD

[wary anvil]

rip

[lone pond]

RiP

[wary anvil]

okay

[woven tartan]

lol i saw cad and thought like CAD design studio xD

[lone pond]

Same

[loud ledge]

Everything is overpriced

[woven tartan]

ngl

[lone pond]

That was my first thought.

[woven tartan]

i was like eh maybe id spend that much on a gpu for cad but then realized we were talking currency

[loud ledge]

It's 3 slot tho even though it was suppose to be 540 dollars MSRP

[lone pond]

But yeah, that's still way high. You could have saved a fair bit.

[granite juniper]

imma be real here id rather have $160 and a blower card than a triple slot and $0

[loud ledge]

Tbh it's my dad's my dad's money lol

[woven tartan]

lol

[hexed forge]

i was going to chime in with "hey my dads trying to teach me CAD" then i realized you meant the currency

[wary anvil]

Well then rip your dad

[loud ledge]

I asked don't worry

[woven tartan]

lmaooooo

[dreamy dragon]

Daniel K.#2867 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[granite juniper]

[crude dust]

Anyone running a water cooled 2080s? Wondering what a good oc on it is

[loud ledge]

@crude dust you doing some joke I feel the rtx coming in

[crude dust]

lol no really curious, got bored waiting for the 3000 series so bought a heatkiller iv gpu block and slapped it on my 2080s black edition

[granite juniper]

nice heatkiller are sexy blocks

[crude dust]

Yeah its beyond beautiful

https://imgur.com/RzR8brB

[granite juniper]

cant beat the black :v lol still a beauty

[crude dust]

I would of loved that black and copper it matches my TR Optimus block

[sick sparrow]

what do you guys think of the leaked 3080 design

[wicked hound]

@granite juniper $160 extra with blower design card is nice cuz then you can just get a Bykski GPU only loop for like $150 or smth I think. Or G12+x62

[crude dust]

@sick sparrow looks different I'm curious how it will perform and how much a water block for ones going to cost me

[sick sparrow]

Yeah

Not going to get a 3080, but still

looks cool

[granite juniper]

@wicked hound ya or an aftermarket air cooler

[mystic shadow]

what’s a good rx 5600 xt? Or should I wait for next gen?

[loud ledge]

So I did cancel the overpriced card

[loud ledge]

Don't you worry I'll find a better deal or a better card for the price

[tawdry mango]

3080 cooler looks a bit fugly

[sonic scarab]

hey anybody have a amd card ? if so any issues with it ?

[royal copper]

amd still has it's occasional driver issues, but most of the big problems with cards like the 5700xt have been fixed

[sonic scarab]

ok so if im buying a 5700 xt i should be fine ? ( i got the GIGABYTE AORUS Radeon RX 5700 XT + i59600kf

[hexed forge]

yeah you should be fine

[sonic scarab]

ok thx its my first build im freaking out on parts ahha

[woven tartan]

so do they always do 3080 then they release the 3070 3060 cards later or?

[granite juniper]

for here’s how they launched the last 2 generations

[woven tartan]

oh okay cause im seeing 3080 releases and i was like where are the others?

[reef heath]

Should I swap my gigabyte 5700xt oc to zotac 1080ti?

[woven tartan]

what cpu you running?

lol but also whats your budget?

[arctic phoenix]

no

similar performance, newer architecture

[granite juniper]

🤔

1080 ti wins but really isn’t a huge step up, I’d just wait til rtx 3000 or big navi for a large improvement

[woven tartan]

but if you desperately need it just tell siri to flip a coin

cause i mean we can all wait forever cause gpus upgrade constantly

[sacred crow]

Just a beginner question, but what cables come with a gpu

[arctic phoenix]

none

[granite juniper]

the psu comes with all the cables, including the gpu cables

[sacred crow]

so no hdmi/dp cables

Guess those come with most monitors

[true estuary]

Just want Amper to come out already

[granite juniper]

well yeah, i should of clarified the pc cables, the monitor should come with the cables for it

[loud ledge]

I decided to get a 5700 XT instead of a RTX 2070

Super

[kind wigeon]

k

[upper mural]

But why? Isn’t 2070 same price and better?

[granite juniper]

5700 xt beats the 2070, and the 2070 super is more expensive for a little more performance

[lyric forge]

What graphics crad would you guys recommend with a ryzen 3600, corsair vengeance 3200 memory, and a b450 tomahawk max

[merry rune]

what's your budget?

[lyric forge]

looking to be around 1000 or so

[merry rune]

for the whole system or just the gpu?

[lyric forge]

lol whole system not GPU

GPU probably around 500 max

[merry rune]

something like a 2060 super would probably be pretty solid and would run around $400 or so

[lyric forge]

ya thats pretty much what ive been looking at but also i was looking at rtx compared to like a radeon rx

[merry rune]

i guess it depends on if you're gonna stream and game, or just game

if you're gonna stream, the 2060S is better, because you can leverage the NVENC encoder

[lyric forge]

good point, I mostly game, but it would be nice to have that option

[merry rune]

if you're just gonna game, the 5700XT might be the better option

[lyric forge]

thanks for the input 👍

[cosmic frigate]

The 2060S is slightly worse in most games than the 5700XT it just depends what you play or if you stream.

[lyric forge]

True

[merry rune]

yeah, raw gaming performance goes to the 5700

but streaming means NVENC is your friend

[cosmic frigate]

Yessir

[marsh viper]

woah

[half patrol]

Does anyone’s

Know

If it will be

3080 ti

?

[granite juniper]

no

[arctic phoenix]

no

[lone pond]

Newp

[loud ledge]

It's going to be a 10080 ti

[hollow zephyr]

???

@loud ledge for how much

[loud ledge]

1 million dollars

[steep star]

[loud ledge]

What's your opinion on rtx

[cyan swift]

should i be able to record videos with a 3600 and 1060

gameplay

fortnite (light)

[rich oasis]

@loud ledge not many games support it but when they do it looks great also all rtx cards hace nvce which greatly increases streaming performance

[tender monolith]

[pseudo compass]

anyone know any rgb rtx 2060 graphics cards?

[wary anvil]

RGB is bad

[kind wigeon]

ur bad

bob

@wary anvil

[wary anvil]

[pseudo compass]

[wary anvil]

That is good

[pseudo compass]

[cyan swift]

bruh

[opaque nova]

Okay so

I've never understood the reason behind 6 different kinds of 2060s and 2070s and the such

Why do manuf have so many variants of a single card? some costing more than the higher end models?

[wary anvil]

Mostly the cooling and power delivery system

Also looks

[crude widget]

Anyone know the diffrence from the 1660 super from evga and gigabyte

Arent they technically the same?

[loud ledge]

Bob I'm absolutely not buy a Quadro 8000🤣

[wary anvil]

Why not? It's a good card

[opaque nova]

It just seems like a weird marketing thing 🤷

[wary anvil]

The Quadro?

[opaque nova]

No, having so many variants and prices for a GPU model

At least, for EVGA's

[wary anvil]

There's actualy some use for some of the differnces, but some of them are just marketing

[native flame]

is amd better or nvidia

[royal copper]

amd has more pure performance, but nvidia has more features like rtx or nvenc which is very important for streaming

[native flame]

mmm

so what ur saying is amd is better for gaming and nvidia is better for streaming?

[royal copper]

eh debatable, amd better budget. nvidia still has better drivers and stuff but does cost a bit more

if you can afford a rtx card, that is great

you can check some benchmarks for games or workloads you use

[native flame]

oh

thx

still new to this pc thing

[wary anvil]

Also cuda

[native flame]

sorta new

[fleet egret]

goba

[lone pond]

Spam...

[pseudo compass]

Huh

[fleet egret]

goba

[lone pond]

Try to stay on topic. There is a general chat...

[fleet egret]

no

oh there is

[pseudo compass]

What’s better rtx 2070 or rx 5700 xt

[fleet egret]

2070

[granite juniper]

5700 xt for raw performance, 2070 if you need the features (rtx, nvenc, rtx voice, a few others)

[hushed wren]

i would go for nivida if you have a big enough budget. just rember no matter what nivida will rip you off

[lone pond]

That is a load of crap.

[hushed wren]

how so?

fanboy alert

[lone pond]

Yeah, you apparently

[hushed wren]

celling gang, cringe

[granite juniper]

every manufacturer is going to rip you off, its just by how much

[hushed wren]

exactly

[lone pond]

So saying one is over another, is a load of crap

[granite juniper]

and considering nothing can challenge high end nvidias product lineup and people pay $$$, why would they make margins small?

[hushed wren]

well that's why most people have to settle for a 2060.

since i play Minecraft so i want the rtx. i also want the dedicated encoder so i am willing to shell out more money

[jovial ferry]

What version do you play?

[hushed wren]

bedrock and java

[jovial ferry]

Okie, as long as you know java doesn't support RTX

[hushed wren]

i know

[wary anvil]

Hrm?

[hushed wren]

but thx anyways

[wary anvil]

Java doesn't support rtx say what?

[hushed wren]

not officially

[wicked hound]

RTX... with a 2060

is a joke
