Yo

normal hawk
#

wait nvm, I see it

runic trail
#

it should have an option

#

yeah was abouta say

pine gulch
#

GO TO MEMORY CHAT

brisk flame
#

of course, this is still a refurb gpu, so the overclocking/stress testing is important

pine gulch
#

Now

brisk flame
#

no

pine gulch
#

SAASSY

brisk flame
#

cheeetoooo

runic trail
#

lmao

normal hawk
#

lol

runic trail
#

alright so going with that refurb card brings the total cost down

#

which leaves me more headroom for adding other things

brisk flame
#

PSU is also still up in the air

runic trail
#

so 650w or stick with 750w?

brisk flame
#

i mean, its oos at best buy anyway

#

so youre gonna have to find another one anyway

runic trail
#

true

#

brb

brisk flame
#

its oos on amazon rn

#

but i think was like only 110 or something like that

runic trail
#

damn

normal hawk
#

65° while playing siege. Sweet

runic trail
#

noice

#

i'm looking at pretty much all the rm series from corsair

#

all oos

#

which sucks

#

sassy, is fully modular even worth it?

#

or is semi just the right choice

brisk flame
#

semi is fine, but by the time youre looking at buying a psu to properly handle a 2080ti and a 2700x, theyre all fully modular anyway

runic trail
#

true

brisk flame
#

so good luck finding a capable semi modular psu lol

runic trail
#

lol

brisk flame
#

what psu do you have rn

runic trail
#

some evga 80+ 500w psu

#

definitely not keeping it

brisk flame
#

GA is good

runic trail
#

is it A tier?

normal hawk
#

Keep it and build a 2nd PC for streaming :p

brisk flame
#

its B+

#

so, still perfectly good

#

but not 140usd good

runic trail
#

i was thinking about that toppercent but we're trynna use the excess parts i don't need to build my brother a pc

brisk flame
#

especially only for 650w

runic trail
#

yeah that's what i was thinking sassy

normal hawk
#

Well then do that, I only meant don't sell it

runic trail
#

oh alright

#

sassy would you call the upcoming build for me high end?

brisk flame
#

yes

#

high end for gaming

runic trail
#

alright

#

what's single-rail?

brisk flame
#

a rail is the PSUs output for a certain voltage

#

so, if a psu has one 12v rail

#

all 12v comes from that rail

runic trail
#

is there any main difference between them or just don't worry about it

brisk flame
#

for you, its not worth worrying about

runic trail
#

oh alright

brisk flame
#

multi rail is usually a cheaper solution, so you want to avoid multi-rail psus

runic trail
#

ohh alright

brisk flame
#

unless youre buying a 400 dollar psu

#

so all the A tier multi rail psus are not cheap lol

runic trail
#

lmao

#

probably double now due to covid

brisk flame
#

and if you find a multi-rail psu thats not on that list, avoid it

runic trail
#

alright

#

oh wiat

#

holy smokes

#

it's single rail, tier a

brisk flame
#

no way

#

thats solid

runic trail
#

lmao

#

yeah

#

860w

#

platinum

brisk flame
#

thats crazy low for a platnum psu

runic trail
#

AND it's from wegg

#

that's a steal right there

brisk flame
#

AND its new

runic trail
#

yessir

brisk flame
#

so, you have 2 options

dreamy dragonBOT
#
TopPercent#8947 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

normal hawk
#

Oh,

#

Oof

brisk flame
#

the 560w and the 860w

runic trail
#

uh oh

normal hawk
#

I might buy that

runic trail
#

I think 860w for me

brisk flame
#

560w will be plenty

runic trail
#

it's gonna be overkill

brisk flame
#

860w is seriously overkill

#

for 40 usd more

runic trail
#

but it's platinum

#

hmm

brisk flame
#

so is the 560

runic trail
#

will 560w be ready for rtx 3000?

#

and like ryzen 4000

#

because I want a psu that is futureproofed for years

brisk flame
#

yep, new components are usually more power efficient

runic trail
#

so 560w is fine?

brisk flame
#

however, dropping 40 more on an 860w psu inst that bad of a deal

runic trail
#

yeah

brisk flame
#

especially considering a standard efficiency curve

runic trail
#

and since you linked me the refurbished gpu it gives me a lot of headroom for other things

brisk flame
#

yeah,

#

get the 860w

runic trail
#

alright

#

so that's what I came up with

#

idk what to spend the leftover 19$ on

normal hawk
#

A game

runic trail
#

lol true true

#

could get an rgb strip

#

suggestions sassy?

brisk flame
#

taxes

runic trail
#

dont have any

#

lol

brisk flame
#

are you sureee

runic trail
#

yup

brisk flame
#

wait until you buy everything

#

then determine what else to buy

runic trail
#

alright thanks

#

so I'll keep it as that list

#

sassy do you play roblox?

brisk flame
#

occasianally

runic trail
#

nice

brisk flame
#

ive been playing destiny 2 recently

#

and mc

normal hawk
#

I haven't played Roblox in forever

runic trail
#

i only play one game in roblox

#

and that's it

normal hawk
#

Pizza tycoon?

runic trail
#

nope, vehicle simulator

normal hawk
#

Galleons?

#

Dang

runic trail
#

i'm sort of a car guy

normal hawk
#

Gotta play the classics

runic trail
#

yesss lol

#

i joined in early 2014

#

I have an og hat

#

that you can't get anymore

normal hawk
#

2014 is og? They didn't give me anything ;-;

runic trail
#

lol

#

i got a hat that was in the spring time

#

and you could only get it in spring in 2014

#

and not many people have it

#

i joined minecraft in 2011

#

i loved playing spleef

#

@brisk flame so would you say the list is pretty much complete?

brisk flame
#

yeah

#

also

#

spleef is the bomb

runic trail
#

yesss

#

it was so fun

twin crown
#

I bought a 1650 Super on Monday it comes this Monday so hyped!

hollow zephyr
#

WWW

graceful marsh
#

World Wide Web?

drifting quarry
#

@twin crown Hope it comes monday

#

My order still in packaging and its been over a week

edgy slate
#

anyone here have a 5600xt or better?

hollow zephyr
#

I have a 5600xt

marble moth
#

nice moss

royal copper
#

Eww amazon

cobalt ore
#

@native grove they likely won’t restock it as the new cards are about to come out.

drifting quarry
#

Its going to be atleast 2 months before the next gen comes out. They will restock

runic trail
#

now that i think rationally

#

i think instead of spending a whopping 1000$ on a gpu that is the newest currently when in a few months, the new series is gonna come out

#

so i think i’ll get a 1650s or 1660s while i wait for like the rtx 3080 ti

#

good idea?

hollow zephyr
#

yes

#

@runic trail you even be able to find a good deal on evga mid week madness

runic trail
#

i’m probably gonna get the evga 1660 super

#

it’s on wegg

#

it’s 230$ with the discount code then a 10$ rebate card

hollow zephyr
#

evga one im assuming??

runic trail
#

yessir

hollow zephyr
#

W

#

i told my friend to get that one lul

runic trail
#

oh lol

fluid valley
#

Should I get a 1660 super or a 1060-70

hollow zephyr
#

?? @fluid valley

#

wdym

#

1060-70

#

like for $70?

rigid crag
#

I think he means a 1060 or 1070

#

Regardless, I would still get a 166p super, for warranty and newer nvenc

jolly rivet
#

@slim talon

#

Post

slim talon
#

@jolly rivet ok

#

@jolly rivet gimme a minute opening my pc

jolly rivet

#

@jolly rivet ill send it a different channel

#

Build pics

jolly rivet
#

Alright

runic trail
#

Is the extra money for a 1660S worth it over a 1650S

brisk flame
#

yee

runic trail
#

ok

#

ty

#

what model of the 1660S do you think I should purchase? @brisk flame

#

no budget for the model of the 1660s

brisk flame
#

the cheapest one

runic trail
#

you sure?

brisk flame
#

yeah

runic trail
#

how come?

brisk flame
#

because theyre all the same

arctic phoenix
#

no single fan versions

runic trail
#

what if i'm also going for good looks for it

arctic phoenix
#

i learned the hard way

brisk flame
#

then get the one that looks coolest

arctic phoenix
#

temps are garbage :((

runic trail
#

meep what gpu are you using?

brisk flame
#

single fan ones are good if your case is both small and has good airflow

arctic phoenix
#

i have the 1660 super

#

on a meshify c with 3 noctua fans

runic trail
#

what temps are you getting?

brisk flame
#

also edit your fan curve

arctic phoenix
#

still get like 85 degrees

runic trail
#

and why don't you just return it?

arctic phoenix
#

under load

brisk flame
#

...

#

85C is fine

#

what are you talking about lol

arctic phoenix
#

it is

#

i just want it to be lower

runic trail
#

but it also depends how long he leaves his pc on

arctic phoenix
#

yeah i play for a while so

runic trail
#

you don't want it to be high temps for like 10+ hours

brisk flame
#

then dont tell people single fan cards are bad

arctic phoenix
#

oh not that

#

i'm just saying you'll get higher temps

runic trail
#

yeah but I wasn't gonna go with a single fan card anyway

arctic phoenix
#

which generally is considered bad

#

-+

brisk flame
#

thats like me saying any other gpu beside kingpin cards are bad because they dont overclock as well

#

anyway

#

this one look cool

#

is cheap

#

dont expect an overclock, but cooling is capable

runic trail
#

yeah I'm looking for one that I can overclock easily

brisk flame
#

this is the next step up

#

would suggest for light tuning

runic trail
#
brisk flame
#

the cheapest one

#

which also happens to be the one i sent

runic trail
#

oh yeah lol

#

does it have any lighting?

brisk flame
#

did you wanna pay 30 dollars more for some lighting?

runic trail
#

maybe

brisk flame
#

oo

#

i like that one

#

stolen

runic trail
#

? wdym

brisk flame
#

ur pp emote

runic trail
#

oh lol

brisk flame
#

is now mine

runic trail
#

but nvm i'll get the evga one and spend like 30-50$ on fans

brisk flame
#

good idea

runic trail
#

what about that one?

#

what if I were to go with that one

brisk flame
#

its an OEM replacement card, so its fine

#

but its still 230

#

the evga one will oc better im sure

runic trail
#

yeah was about to say

#

alright nvm

brisk flame
#

if that card were 200, i would say snag it

runic trail
#

yeah

brisk flame
#

but full price? nah

runic trail
#

agreed

runic trail
#

@brisk flame which would be better, a gtx 1070 and a 1070 ti or a 1660 super

brisk flame
#

1660s

#

Better than both options

granite juniper
#

1070 ti for pure performance

brisk flame
#

Well, the 1070ti does better performance wise, but not for the price

#

Yes

granite juniper
#

ya

brisk flame
#

Used price for 1070ti is like 280 minimum

#

And it's used

#

And driver support is limited

granite juniper
#

🤔 i got mine for 226 used

brisk flame
#

Oh wow

#

Better than I've seen on ebay

bitter jungle
#

I usually don’t mess with 1070s

granite juniper
#

if u can get a 1070 ti for under 250 i'd go with that but besides that 1660S

bitter jungle
#

Simply because yeah, they’re too expensive

runic trail
#

I found a 1070 ti for 250$<

#

~*

granite juniper
#

it was an ebay auction that only 1 person bid on

bitter jungle
#

Lucky

granite juniper
#

ya it was a great find

runic trail
granite juniper
#

dont forget shipping too

bitter jungle
#

I can’t even find an RX 570/480/570/580/ GTX 970/1060 for under $100 >:|

runic trail
#

it’s still cheaper than the MSI gaming x version of the 1660 super

bitter jungle
#

You also gotta choose between used without warranty and new with warranty

#

1660 super also runs cooler and uses less power

runic trail
#

true true

bitter jungle
#

GPUs fail a lot

#

Their fans fail a lot

#

So it’s up to you. Look at the pros and cons and decide for yourself

runic trail
#

wait the 1070ti fail a lot?

#

and their fans?

bitter jungle
#

All graphics cards can fail often

#

can

#

It’s your risk to take

granite juniper
#

yeah i think thats just a general statement

bitter jungle
#

Well I mean GPUs are among the top things to fail

#

Along with PSUs and mobos

#

CPUs and RAM don’t fail nearly as often

runic trail
#

alright then i’ll go with the 1660s since i’ll have a warranty

#

thanks guys

bitter jungle
#

For sure my fellow human acquaintance

runic trail
#

lol

robust harbor
#

Which is better, the evga or windforce 3x oc RTX 2070 Super?

royal copper
rigid crag
#

Which evga? Because if evga black, get the gigabyte. But if its any other evga card, get that lol

royal copper
#

evga fan boys rise up

bitter jungle
#

Can somebody help me find a decent price on a used graphics card? I can’t find any good prices.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
RX 570/470/480/580/GTX 1060/970/basically anything in that performance range that can run off a 450w.
Trying to keep it as cheap as possibly. $80 MAX

#

My 450w also has 2x 6+2 pin connectors according to the spec sheet btw

bitter jungle
#

Gonna be paired with Intel i5-4570

#

@ me if you find anything please love_it

royal copper
#

check local used markets, I saw a gtx 970 for 70 near me

bitter jungle
#

I’m looking for shipped on this one, but I guess it’s a possibility

bleak rapids
#

how much do evga gtx 1060 3gbs cost?

royal copper
#

maybe 70-60 used

bleak rapids
#

damn

#

i see 300+ on amazon

#

and newegg

royal copper
#

if you look hard you can find 1060 6gb for 100 used

#

don't buy old hardware like that new

#

it's usually always overpriced

bleak rapids
#

im actually selling one

jovial ferry
#

Rule 9...

bitter jungle
#

To elaborate on my previous question, local is not an option. I can’t find anything locally

runic trail
#

@bitter jungle how about 88$?

#

?

pine gulch
#

how much is 1080 ti

#

worth

runic trail
#

i'd say 450 max imo

#

i found one used for 430

#

they usually go for 500$~ though

pure carbon
#

How much would you say an r9 nitro fury is worth?

#

Fury nitro*

runic trail
#

r9 fury?

pure carbon
#

R9 fury nitro

#

It's an amd gpu

runic trail
#

180$ imo

pure carbon
#

Ight found one for 120USD heck yeah

#

I'm just tryna flip

runic trail
#

nice

grave siren
#

5700XT VS 2060 SUPER

runic trail
#

@grave siren are you gonna be streaming?

#

because if so, 2060 super

#

since nvidia's nvenc encoder makes it so if you stream, it nearly to not even affects your game performance

#

if you're not gonna be streaming, and you're looking for raw performance, 5700XT

#

although, if you want a really stable software, go with the 2060 super

#

if you're fine and will let amd take time, go with the 5700XT

#

the 5700XT has more raw performance rather than the 2060 super

polar bronze
#

2060s also beats the 5700xt in premiere

runic trail
#

that too yet i never said benchmarking software/software like that 😛

polar bronze
#

hell a 1660ti beats a 5700xt in premiere

runic trail
#

@polar bronze you sure? i'm watching an eposvox video and he tested a 5700 vs a 2080

#

and the 5700 beats it in most cases

#

not even an xt

faint steeple
#

amd is better for video editing

#

most cases usually

#

mainly the cpus are better for editing

polar bronze
runic trail
#

you sure that's real?

polar bronze
#

puget systems

#

thats literally what they do

runic trail
#

i've only heard people saying that amd is the best in most cases for video editing like jake said

#

i've never heard of them

#

well until now that is

polar bronze
#

100% id take nvidia over amd for premiere editing

#

premiere uses a lot of cuda acceleration

runic trail
#

i have a 560 2gb and i rendered a 1080p 60 fps video that's 10 minutes long in 5 minutes

#

that's a 2 gigabyte card..

polar bronze
#

which codec?

runic trail
#

release in 2017~ i believe

#

the amd codec

polar bronze
#

it probably rendered on your cpu

runic trail
#

no, the gpu codec

#

i have to check what it's called

#

but i have to do that after i shower :/

faint steeple
#

yea nvidia is way better

#

imo

runic trail
#

i believe a 3970x is bottlenecked by a 5700xt

#

iirc

faint steeple
#

nvidia nvenc but thats for capturing

#

/streaming

#

video encoding

polar bronze
#

I do 8k video editing

grave siren
#

Is ryzen 5 3600 good with a 5700xt?

#

Or should I go for a 2060 Super

polar bronze
#

for gaming yes

grave siren
#

Planning on gaming and very light streaming

polar bronze
#

for streaming the 2060s is gonna be better

grave siren
#

What about like just gaming

polar bronze
#

just gaming 5700xt

grave siren
#

Cause I’m gonna legit stream like once a month

#

Also are 5700xt drivers better now

#

And are the drivers easy to install for amd?

faint steeple
#

nvidia I dont even worry about cuz it can auto install if u want (I have auto install off but its a feature)

#

nvidia has other software built in

#

shadowplay

#

basically like xbox it captures last whatever amount of time

#

usually its like last 3 mins for me

#

geforce experience

runic trail
#

i'd give amd a chance and go with them

#

besides, if you have a problem, you can return it

#

that's if you buy it new

#

i think you have like 30 days back guarantee on most websites

grave siren
#

So should I go with a 5700xt instead of 2060 super?

runic trail
#

imo, yes

#

but in the end

#

it's all up to you

#

since you decide if you're gonna stream often

#

or just game

faint steeple
#

whats price difference? @grave siren

#

also u should watch some vs benchmark videos on them

#

just type in 2060S vs 5700XT and see how they perform in games you are interested in

#

because depending on the game it will vary on performance in some cases

runic trail
#

@faint steeple 980 ti, vega 56 or 1660s

faint steeple
#

Prolly 1660s

#

@runic trail

bitter jungle
#

@runic trail trying to keep it under $80. If it’s a GTX 970 or 580 though send the link over maybe I’ll try to bargain

runic trail
#

@faint steeple alright

#

and @bitter jungle i think the thing I found for 88$ sold 😦

#

there is one for 83.99$

#

yet it requires a flash

bitter jungle
#

Just put an offer for like $75 for an RX 470 so we’ll see

kind wigeon
#

@grave siren go 2060s

#

it's much better

#

also having ray tracing is nice

inland grove
#

Hey all

#

Is it worth it to try to sell my GTX 960m

#

*960?

#

Not 960m

jovial ferry
#

Might be a good idea if you plan to upgrade. Probably can get more out of it w/ covid

inland grove
#

Already upgraded to a 2070s

jovial ferry
#

Then do it lol

#

No point leaving it lying around

#

The value of that card is only going to go down with restocking and 3000 series coming

inland grove
#

True. What could I expect from it?

woeful jasper
#

My rx 580 8 gig is dying and i was wondering if a PNY XLR8 1650 super 4 gig is a good replacement. Am i right?

limber summit
#

how much would my gtx 1050 go for im thinking about buying a RX570 or a gtx 1050ti

woeful jasper
#

1050 tis are around 130-200 from what ive seen

faint steeple
#

at that point go for a 1650 Super

limber summit
#

well im trying to keep my budget under 150

#

or under 175

nimble mantle
#

im using an AMD R7 370 about 3 or 4 years now cant complain at all

rich oasis
#

@woeful jasper no

#

A 1650s would be a better choice

woeful jasper
#

What would be a good upgrade then?

rich oasis
#

1050tis are not worth 200

woeful jasper
#

Ah

#

Oh shid you right

rich oasis
#

But wdym 580 is dying

woeful jasper
#

I thought it said 1650 lmfao

#

It constantly artifacts and overheats

#

Usually one after the other

#

Even with side panel off and having a fan directly on it

rich oasis
#

I would fix it instead of buying a new one

woeful jasper
#

And how would one do that?

rich oasis
#

Prob old paste

woeful jasper
#

Nah man i got new paste on it

#

Ill see if I added enough though

#

Then again its an XFX and from what ive heard they are naturally hot

rich oasis
#

Ye

woeful jasper
#

Is that right though about them being hot?

#

Because if so I should probably get a aftermarket cooler

#

What would you or anyone else recommend

rich oasis
#

I would recommend just trying to fix it

#

If it was working ok before it means that you prob didn’t apply paste right

woeful jasper
#

yea ill double check lol

devout pumice
#

Hi excuse me what is better Radeon R7 250 2gb or NVidia GTX 280?

native tulip
#

Anyone have a PNY 2080 ti?

twin crown
#

😭

#

It said Monday but when I checked today it said Thursday

#

I bought a 1650 super

#

Yay

bitter jungle
#

@devout pumice probably R7 simply because the 280 sucks lots more power and it’s old so Nvidia doesn’t support it anymore and it’s DX is old too

devout pumice
#

@bitter jungle ok I will use this one. Thank you

bitter jungle
#

No problem

sonic kraken
#

Is there a big difference between 1660 super and 1660

lone pond
#

just buy the super

sonic kraken
#

why?

rigid crag
#

Its a decent difference

#

No idea why anyone would buy a 1660

#

Super is much better value

sonic kraken
#

alright, thanks man

rigid crag
#

Np

sonic kraken
#

hey @rigid crag do you know of any monitors that have a fair price? 80-120 dollars

#

144Hz

#

preferably

rigid crag
brisk flame
#

the cheapest 144hz display ever

#

its oos tho

#

but this is as cheap as they come

sonic kraken
#

is it quality?

brisk flame
#

i own it lol

#

its actually super good for the price

#

but its 140

sonic kraken
#

any straight 144Hz monitors

brisk flame
#

also you cant really buy them anywhere

sonic kraken
#

140 is fine

brisk flame
#

no, i mean cost

sonic kraken
#

ik

brisk flame

how do you know if a GPU and CPU are compatible with a MATX motherboard.

wary anvil
#

They should all be

sonic kraken
#

oh really?

wary anvil
#

Yeah

sonic kraken
#

does brands matter?

#

for compatibility of cpu and gpu to motherboard

wary anvil
#

As long as the socket is right for the CPU it will work

sonic kraken
#

do you know if gigabyte motherboards are compatible with Ryzen cpu?

#

or know any websites that check if they are compatible

torpid garden
#

Asus best

sonic kraken
#

motherboard?

#

if so, does gigabyte motherboard work with ryzen cpu

wary anvil
#

Depends on what motherboard

#

What's the model?

lone pond
#

literally any AM4 motherboard

#

just dont touch A320m

arctic phoenix
#

unless?

#

jkjk haha unless..??

#

actually i've used A320 for APU builds

sonic kraken
#

question on which 1660 super i should get

#

there are 3 different ones

#

there is MSI, Gigabyte, or Asus

#

which one is better

Hey Neweggs,

Originally wanted a 5700xt because I thought 1440p 60-144hz was the way to go but now I am having second thoughts..

What about a 5600xt for 1080p 60-144hz?

drowsy wave
#

I might be biased but go with Nvidia

lone pond
#

its bias at this point

crisp thunder
#

No worries I respect everyone's opinions. Guessing you run Nvidia? May I ask what type and for what purposes?

lone pond
#

driver problems are fixed and everything

crisp thunder
#

Good to know, been reading posts here and there about the issues. I might even go 5700xt with 1080p
This build is a treat for finishing school (plus my company pays for my schooling), yet I still can't justify spending soo much on a 27" ips 1440p...

Maybe that will be a treat for future me in 3-5 years. Until then might just have to avoid seeing a 1440p in real life lol

What power supply do you have @slate spire

Is it like a dell one?

Then you’re gonna have to find a GTX 1050 ti or something to upgrade to

Won’t give nearly as much performance as an RX 570 but it won’t take was much power

ayy guys I got a question. I have been looking at benchmarks and other stuff, but I figured asking here would be a smart move. So I basically only play Csgo, and Im kinda lost on what gpu to buy. Im thinking about picking up a gtx 980 ti or a gtx 1660 ti, what should I do?

rigid crag
#

Well even tho the 980ti should slightly outperform a 1660 super or ti, I would still get a 1660 super for warranty and newer nvenc

#

Csgo isn't very hard to run tho so both will do fine

bitter jungle
#

And 1660 sucks much less power

#

I’d go 1660 super as the price increase for a 1660 ti is too much

lone pond
#

thanks guys!

arctic phoenix
#

if you're buying new ofc

#

if u can find a deal for a 980 ti or a 1070 for under 200 you should take it

lone pond
#

okie, thanks, ill keep that in mind

bitter jungle
#

I think warranty is worth the extra few bucks

#

And of course the smaller power consumption

lone pond
#

#

oops

did not mean that sorry

Can an RX 460 XFX do VR with an occulus rift s

void iron
#

is the rtx4000 the most powerful single slot gpu right now?

brisk flame
#

no

#

RTX8000 is more powerful, but in raw performance, it gets bested by the RTX Titan

#

but the RTX 8000 does way better in certain things

#

just depends on what your using the gpu for

#

if gaming, the 2080ti is the best

#

oh

#

"single slot"

#

srry im blind

#

it still depends on what your using the gpu for tho

wicked hound
#

watercooled RTX 8000/Titan

granite juniper
#

ya just slap a waterblock on it single slot ez

rigid crag

Lol

wary anvil
#

It is no longer the most powerful

The a100 pcie is available now

#

Granted, the thing costs more than $10,000

rigid crag
#

Pocket change

wary anvil
#

Exactly

brisk flame
#

thats a tesla tho

#

kinda different

wary anvil
#

Nah

brisk flame
#

yah

wary anvil
#

It has cores, it goes brrrrrrrrrr

brisk flame
#

its basically the a100 from the new DGX but in a different form factor

wary anvil
#

What more do you need in a GPU?

brisk flame
#

still targeted towards servers in datacenters

#

a display smh

#

cooling

wary anvil
#

Not necessary. Who uses a display?

brisk flame
#

the kinds of people who ask what the most powerful gpu is

wary anvil
#

eh

#

The people that want the most powerful GPUs don't need a display

brisk flame
#

difference between want, need, and ask

#

lmao

wary anvil
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

You want power, I give power

brisk flame
#

lol ig

wary anvil
#

You want display, you get less power 'cause you don't need the most powerful and can't use it

rapid herald
#

Im getting the 3070ti. Should I pair that with a Z490 mobo even though it only uses PCie 3.0 or should I go with a B550 with Pcie 4.0?

wary anvil
#

Do you want AMD or intel?

rapid herald
#

well id prefer intel

#

buuuuuut

#

if i have to get a 3800x or even a 3900x for the 4.0 motherboard which intel isnt gonna use then I will

#

but the 9700k beats both the 3800x and the 3900x

wary anvil
#

By the time you have access to a 3070, the next gen ryzen CPUs should also be out, and possibly some intel chips with pcie 4.0

rapid herald
#

i thought the intel wasnt bothering with pcie 4.0

faint steeple
#

will be better to plan it closer to the date

#

of release prolly

wicked hound
#

gen4 intel is a fair bit away is it not?

rapid herald
#

yeah it is

wary anvil
#

I thought 11th gen is supposed to have 4.0

wicked hound
#

11th gen might have it. Not guaranteed

rapid herald
#

i read intel is waiting for 5.0 since it got announced

#

idk

wicked hound
#

also think 11th gen is a bit away isnt it?

rapid herald
#

just a rumor

#

and yeah it is

wary anvil
#

I dunno, intel is missing out on some big buyers not implementing 4.0

rapid herald
#

I mean the 4000 series cpus come out in a couple week so

#

idk. im curious to see what the price of the 4000 series will be

wary anvil
#

It'll likely be cheaper than intel

#

I'd wait to see some benchmarks of zen3 vs 9700k

#

Intel is already a pretty marginal advantage, so it could go either way which will be better

rapid herald
#

yeah. If i were to build a pc now and had a 3070 in it, would you pair it with a 3800x or a 9700k? I know the 9700k beats the 3800x pretty good, but the price like $80. So decent sized differnece

wary anvil
#

I wouldn't say it beats it pretty good

wicked hound
#

3700x vs 3800x is minimal

#

just spend rest of money on GPU most likely

rapid herald
#

im just meaning the 3800x vs 9700k.

#

the 9700k beats the 3900x in gaming as well

wary anvil
#

Barely though I thought. Wasn't it only a few FPS?

#

And that was before the recent nerfs to intel

rapid herald
#

mmmm. some games it beats it in double digits

#

oooh

wary anvil
#

Which ones?

rapid herald
#

i forget tbh

wicked hound
#

right, 200 fps vs 230 fps or smth?

#

double digits fps difference yes, but per frame ms is not noticeable unless one specific game

wary anvil
wicked hound
#

also why not 10600k?

rapid herald
#

like for me o buy?

#

to

wary anvil
#

Yeah

#

Also, I'm looking some of the new benches over and the 3800x is actually getting better lows now than the 9700k

wicked hound
#

You also need to think about GPU for example. These two builds cost basically the same

  1. 3600+decent b550+2080S
  2. 10600KF+decent z490+decent CPU cooler+2070S

I'd take a guess that no. 1 wins

rapid herald
#

better lows?

wicked hound
#

1% / 0.1% lows

#

as in stuttering

rapid herald
#

oh

wary anvil
#

Interesting

rapid herald
#

yeah like i said. Id like to get a 3070-3070ti

wary anvil
#

Was the nerf worse than we thought it was?

wicked hound
#

going to need to know pricing of the new GPUs before really deciding on which CPU for gaming

rapid herald
#

the 3070 and 3070ti was leaked to be $400 and $500. The guy who leaked that price yesterday has leaked the correct specs of the specs of the other cards

wicked hound
#

then 3080 could be $700

wary anvil
#

We'll see about prices. Those feel a bit low

wicked hound
#

or leaks are meh

rapid herald
#

well the 2070 was $500

wicked hound
#

because a lot of rumors are kinda funny and false. Like 3090. The only "proof" is the co-processor patent

wary anvil
#

Specs aren't overly hard to guess at. The chip configurations are released to developers, you just have to guess which one goes in which card

rapid herald
#

true

#

we will see in august or whenever they decide to announce them

wary anvil
#

Yeah

#

I'm pushing AMD to win out with ampere + zen3

rapid herald
#

yeah, there big navi is supposed to be good. But its just coming to late

#

late 2020

#

ugh

wary anvil
#

Big navi will still be coming

rapid herald
#

yeah but late thisyear

#

this year

wary anvil
#

My guess is that average frame rates in most titles will be about the same across AMD and intel with zen3, but the full pcie 4.0 to the GPU will give it better lows

rapid herald
#

yeah. thats my biggest thing. Is the Gpu will be the differnece maker

wicked hound
#

hopefully AMD can get near to Nvidia in rasterization perf. But doubt that they can get close in RT perf. AMDs first gen RT probs will feel similar to Nvidia's first gen when comparing to Nvidia's second gen, pretty much meh.

coarse garnet
#

we can only wait and see

#

but I don't think RT perf from AMD will be that bad because those hardwares will be featured on new consoles too

Just opened my case last night to find the watts on the power supply. Label read 174W. Is this for real? 5 year old computer. As computers get bigger, I supposed it would be at least 250-300W like previous computers. What upgrade can I do with this?

#

It has been a quite running computer.

#

1 PCIe x 16, 3 PCIe x 1, 1 miniPCIe and a 174W power supply. How ya suppose to use the slots?

kind wigeon
#

@frozen drum for a midrange gaming rig, you want abt 400-600 watts.

#

pcie 16 is for high end gpu, pcie 8 is for a low end one.

#

pcie 1 is generally for network cards, usb expansion, sometimes ultrahighspeed storage

Yo anybody should i get the rx580 now or save up for the rx5600xt

Not really with powersupplys but the rest yeah

bitter jungle
#

It’s kinda hard for graphics cards to not be compatible with a motherboard as long as it has he right PCIe slot. I’ve heard some OEM motherboards don’t work with some graphics cards, but if you just have a normal ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc motherboard it should be compatible with pretty much any graphics card as long as it’s got the normal PCIe interface

Exactly good point

Would you guys recommend waiting until Nvidia 3000 series and/or AMD big Navi 23 comes out to upgrade a GPU or get something like a 2070 super / AMD 5700xt. I used to have a GTX 1070 but I sold to my friend making a build for gaming.. since I started gaming more on console and needed the money at time I sold the card but now looking back at it I kinda wish I kept it just to have something to game on lightly.

In line with earlier reports, it appears that NVIDIA has ceased production of the RTX 20 series “Turing” GPUs. All higher-end GPUs including the TU102, TU104 as well as the TU106 will be affected. This means that all RTX 20 series graphics cards might start facing shortages in...

yes

I thought about building a second 3200g pc for streaming specifically but was hoping to pick up a 2070 super instead sometime in the next 2-3 months if they started dropping in price but that is discouraging news.

@grand fable bright side. 2nd hand market

#

might see some discounts once next gen hits

grand fable
#

Thx. I will definitely be keeping my eyes out there over the next few months.

#

When is nextgen supposed to drop?

violet dock
#

the new mid range should be quite a bit of performance as well so worth a look

#

uh my guess in the next 2 months

#

no official word

grand fable
#

I really just stumbled across the fact that it could still game and also encode stream video almost as well as a second pc which is what piqued my interest.

#

If they drop to the 300-350 range that’s where I’d probably pull as that is as much as a typical 3200g build I build my dad this last Christmas

Has anyone had problems with blower style gpus more specifically the Asus turbo 2080 super

#

Concerned about temps

devout venture
#

Blower style gpu's have always had thermal problems

#

It's not abnormal to have bad temps with them

GPU suggestion please, I'm trying to run Rainbow Six: Siege at 165hz and medium settings, currently my Gigabyte 1060 6GB can run about 160ish FPS with T-AA rendering at 50% what would be a solid upgrade? Thinking a 2080 Super I have a 650W PSU with a Ryzen 9 3950X

#

wow yeah you can go as high as you want pretty much. 2080 super, 2080 ti, whatever

#

RTX 3000 series will come out soon tho

vestal elbow
#

Get a good gpu they said, it's not expensive they said

restive grove
#

the price will drop when the rtx 3000 hits the market

#

trouble is the rtx 2000 series is too weak to support ryzen cpus

arctic phoenix
#

haha the prices will drop

#

:((

rigid crag
#

Neither one of those too sentences are correct lol

restive grove
#

why is that?

#

subpar performance is just that

arctic phoenix
#

trouble is the rtx 2000 series is too weak to support ryzen cpus
how?

#

a ryzen 3600 can be bottlenecked by a 2080 super

rigid crag
#

Doubt prices will drop much because 3000 series doesn't make 2000 cards any weaker, and if 2000 series is "too weak" for ryzen then what isn't?

acoustic ginkgo
#

I want a 2060 Super, because I know there's no way in heck I'll be able to afford a 3000 series when they release.

restive grove
#

okay lets say rtx 3000 series is pcie 4.0 vs rtx 2000 series 3.0

#

@arctic phoenix actually I'll take that back, the ryzen/gtx 2k bottleneck only exist in the 1080p resolution, and does better at 1440 aand 4k resolutions

#

@arctic phoenix but i primarily play mmo's not rts so almost none of my games require or are able to run above 1080p

arctic phoenix
#

ah

restive grove
#

actually a 3800x is a better match for a 2080 super at 1080p

normal hawk
#

Misread his statement. He already has a 3950x lol

restive grove
#

overkill even for a ti

#

and i was reading for a 3600 not a 3950

normal hawk
#

It's only worth it if he's doing serious development. I didn't even go for one lol

hi guys is there a monitor channel?

thanks

#

programs can utilize the second gpu and can perform tasks better (games not so much but rendering/workstation stuff can benefit a lot)

#

yeah

tired sparrow
#

What would we say the best brand of 2080 super non reference card is?

arctic phoenix
#

@little sleet

sage yew
#

Thought it was ASUS that had the best....

#

Now it’s “ONE” of the best.
