Should I wait for 3000 series or get a 2070 super?
i would wait, but if you want the 2070s, now is probably the time to get it. rumors that nvidia is halting production of the 2070, 2070s, 2080s, and 2080ti, in order to ramp up ampere production
so supply could possibly be affected
@merry rune when will the 2080 come out?
you mean the 3080? no release date, but supposed to be this year
my guess is late Q3
maybe early Q4
Is the Nvida geforce rtx 2080 ti better then the gtx 2080 ti?
there is no such thing as a 'gtx' 2080ti, there is only the rtx
😂
well, you don't usually use ray tracing anyway
so most of the time it's actually gtx 
Anyone with an opinion on the EVGA 2080 super hybrid card? With half aio
Estimated RTX 3000 release date time frame? Go
september
@foggy nymph yes, that card should be able to handle almost anything you could throw at it
@cerulean latch thx
novemeber december may june july augest september
idk lol just rumors for september or augest i would say black friday

Yes it should.
As long as you have enough space within your case it should be fine
hey my friend messed his gpu using afterburner
this is what he said
"I was at the msi afterburner app. then I turned every setting for overclocking to the max then the screen went white, then it went black. when I try to open my pc it gives me a black screen with a blue box. i'v had this issue before, so I just click ctrl+alt+del and it lets me in. now that I do it it just turnes black and gives me that message again"
his english isnt great
he's got a 1070 and his drivers r up 2 date
@ me if you know anything
well you shouldn't put all settings max
yeah even insanely good silicon probably cant be stable just maxing out the sliders
Maybe enter safe mode and uninstall msi afterburner then try booting it? @dense bison
Yeah
ok
aight if that doesn't work i'll just tell him to go through the recommended trouble shooting steps
oh and luckily he has an intel cpu so he's got an igpu
so the system isnt completely useless even if the gpu is actually broken
aight I gtg thnx
Does having a second monitor decrease (a lot) the GPU usage in games?
depends what's on the second screen, if there is nothing there should be no difference
or perhaps very very very little, unnoticeable
Usually Discord, MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z and Quick CPU only
those shouldn't decrease performance unless they are taking a lot of cpu
me having discord open like 24/7 i see no difference with it on my 2nd monitor
Hmmm then I don't understand why during gaming my GPU only has 50-75% usage
could be an easy to run game, could be limited by a frame cap or something. or if something like the cpu is pinned at 100% while gaming
Like for GTA V I have no frame cap yet it runs at average 57% usage
what's your specs
For just the GPU it's a 5700 XT and CPU is a 8700k
57% cpu or gpu?
GPU
Like I can understand low load in AC: Odyssey because I limit the frame rate to 60 fps but it drops to 44 fps but still maintaining about 50-60% usage
that pair should be fine, if you feel you don't get the fps you should be getting i'd google it and see if others have the same issue, with that said gta isn't a very optimized game and has it's issues
you don't do and underclocking/volting right?
Well I did undervolt not long ago, but this issue was already there when I bought the GPU
could always try a driver update
It's at the latest
you check that it's not overheating right? or if you lowered the temp limit and it is hitting now
Nope, temps are fine
im running out of ideas lol, it could be the game not being very optimized tho
Prolly. Thanks for the help anyways.
np, feel free to let me know if you found anything if there was an issue 🙂
Gotcha
You'd want per core CPU usage, CPU clock speed, CPU temp, RAM usage, VRAM usage, GPU usage, GPU clockspeed, VRAM clockspeed, GPU temp, framerate, frametime
also at like 250/500ms polling rate
@charred talon
Aight, would the CX550 power a GTX 1070 lads
@wicked hound I don't understand?
2 HDDs, 1 Samsung 860, Ryzen 3 3100
then CX550 is fine
Sick
@charred talon MSI afterburner, you want to check all of those
Thanks Hei
I do check a majority of those. Per core (CPU) is about 50% - 65%. CPU is at 4.7 Ghz usually around 60-65C. Ram is around 8-9 GB. GPU usage, as said before, around 50-75%. Clock is max at 2000 Mhz with VRAM clock at 1750 Mhz. GPU is running at 57-65C. Framerate is depending on game and idk polling rate and frametime
I keep task manager on my other screen in case the game decides to freeze or something stupid/cant altf4
polling rate is how fast it scans for the hardware stuff. default is 1000ms which can be hard to see spikes in CPU usage. Notice that when I moved polling rate down to 500ms instead I could see per core easily stay around 80% instead of the sub 60%
Paying for brand basically. The evga might have a slightly higher core clock or people might just like the way it looks better
Screw that
Is it worth the extra $70 though?
yeh just because of the cooling potential on it
But if founders edition cooler works fine then why get the other one
I mean it’s got that little clock boost but that doesn’t help performance that much right?
can someone tell me the best driver for a 2070 super?
451.67
No, it's not worth the extra $70. What is worth the extra is XOC potential. Smth like the Strix 2080Ti vs the rest of the 2080Tis due to VRM. Slap a 500w BIOS on there and don't have to worry about VRMs as much when on custom cooling. Other then XOC stuff, no card should really be worried about. Just get the cheapest okay cooler and configure the voltage/clocks/fan curve to be more efficient
https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2070-gv-n2070wf2-8gd/p/N82E16814932160 says + $15 off w/ promo code GBTVGAFS39, limited offer. How long is this offer?
ping me if you know please
How do I find a vertical mount for my card
See if your case manufacture has one for your case. Otherwise look at something like the cablemod one, which I think has pretty wide compatibility.
Whats the best amd gpu currently out?
Radeon VII
Competitive with the newer 2000 series rtx's?
not really
Radeon VII is basically a 5700 XT with more VRAM
It's not that good for the price if you're gaming
Ya, 5700xt is a better pick for the average gamer
Ah. More suited to a r5 or 7?
I have a genuine question related to Newegg: Does anyone know what character this is? It can only be found on https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-580-11265-05-20g/p/N82E16814202362 and I'm searching the entire WEB with no luck. I'm guessing it's one of those "Boxcover Visuals" that Sapphire Tech. had created for this particular RX 580 card, but I just wanted to be sure if she's not from a game that I don't know about.
Any information is greatly appreciated!
yeah, most products use fake game images so they dont have to pay royalty fees on it, its definitely fake
Also ew. Periods on the first two "sentences" but not the last one? At least stay consistent
Lol
@lone pond depends. A Ryzen 5 3600 would be better than a Ryzen 7 1700 in gaming performance, so it depends on your two CPU choices.
A Ryzen 5 3600 works great with it. A 3700x works even better.
anyone running nitro rx5700xt?
no but a sex-c card
That... Might be considered to be breaking the rules @hollow zephyr
Taken out of context can been seen as filter avoiding kinda
More of the three letter word filter avoidance
@bitter jungle What about a higher tier r7? Like uhhh idk the names but the higher ones
Paired with a 5700XT
Actually would a r5 bottleneck the gpu?
For like med/heavy gaming
have 8gb rx580 now just want upgrade
Barely. 3600 to 3700x is like probs 3 - 8 FPS better on average
@sour lintel used 1070/1660 Super or better. I'd say get a bit better so it isn't too close to the side grade where perf is only a little bit better. More worth your money
How would a 5700XT compare to like a gtx 930 or a 1660?
would go rx5600 but like the 8gb memory....
according to benchmarks... 580 is bottleneck now have m2 ssd getting OS install..
would likely go 2060 but for those prices why not nitro rx5700xt
It would be far better than the 930 and I believe is also better than the 1660
Compared to a 1080ti?
1080 ti... interesting card
Maybe about the same as a 1080ti
it's got gr8 performance but is an older card, and tbh, I would just get a 2070... same price, better performance
it's weird seeing such a top notch card be at it's stage
That would work great
That would work great
@wary anvil The r5 and rx580?
Yup
Hey idk if this is the proper place to ask questions but I was wondering if the 5700 XT has the proper drivers now? Last I heard was that the drivers were hurting the card
yeah theyre pretty solid rn
Is this a decent PCI-E extension https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Gaming-Black-Extender-AC-053-CN1OTN-C1/dp/B06Y5YNGDJ
Will it do it’s job well?
seems decent but idk much about riser cables
Anyone know someone who can help with fps issues? Got a 1080ti and it drops in some games way to low, pasta changed, everything updated.
Like is it just dips every now and then or is it constant low FPS?
Hello
Hi?
I got this new GPU this week
https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-radeon-rx-5700-xt-gv-r57xtaorus-8gd/p/N82E16814932235?Item=N82E16814932235
cool
the Newegg support chat told me to come in here to get assistance ,
the GPU came with 'OC BIOS' selected and it is working fine.
but, when I change it to 'SILENT BIOS', none of the monitors are working.
is it a faulty GPU or should I change some settings in the MB BIOS?
when do you change it to silent bios? is it while the system is on, or after the system is unplugged?
is this a physical switch or no
I turned off the pc and then I switched it.
it is a physical button pin
does the system appear to turn on normally, aside from the monitors not displaying anything?
like, does your keyboard and mouse light up
do the fans spin
yes, windows loads up normally (I can see the teamviewer app is online)
3900x
ok, with the system powered on with the gpu set to silent bios, unplug all display cables from the gpu, plug in only one DP monitor, then power the system down
then start it back up with only the one DP cable plugged in
ok, will try that
if that doesnt work, then i dont really know what the issue could be. the silent bios is working properly if windows is able to boot, so just run the card using the oc bios and change the fan curves to what you want them to be
thanks for trying, nothing helps...
also tried to connect the GPU to another machine, results are the same
am i gonna have to buy a whole new psu for the new 3000series GPU like im hearing?
so basically the ones that come with the power supply?
and i have a 750watt
80+gold
thats fine
i assume you are refering to the 12pin cable that was shown a few days ago?
so i am having a problem trying to replace my gpu i have watched videos and do what is says but it won’t come out and was wondering if someone could help and walk me through it
i know the vids r like 1 min long and seems simple but idk
You just unscrew the old one, pull it out, put the new one in, attach power connectors if needed, then download drivers
I’ll record a vid of me doing it if you want
i unscrew the undo the latch thing and then it won’t come out there seems to be something in back top left corner of it that is holding it in
so there is a tiny tiny little screw like on the top backside of the gpu that seems to be locking but no vids had to and it is in like the worst spot and impossible to unscrew
These little guys?
no
Those are the only ones you need to unscrew
i would take pic if i knew how
Top backside of the gpu 
how to i put pic on here
on my phone
Around here?
yes on the top but left
You can’t post pics in here unless you’re level 3. You can DM them to me and I’ll post them if you want
Ahh that true
Just DM me a pic
it’s that small screw in left
That shouldn’t be holding the GPU down. That’s connected to the GPUs backplate
But the PCIe slot might be holding it down
There might be something like this holding it in place. You have to move it to get the GPU out
i sent more photos
Problem solved in DMs
What was it?
Some other screws on the case basically
hey do u guys reccommend a ryzen or nvidia card for the $300 price range
Looking for a gpu to pair with a Ryzen 5 2600. Kinda rushed to get my gpu because I was on a budget. Currently I have a 570.
whats your budget? @split lichen
Nothing extremely expensive but I wouldn’t want to spend more than 300
Just gaming? Or are you planning on streaming too
Just gaming
5600xt
How much do you think a RTX 2070 would loose price in like a year or two
not much probably
@royal root Ryzen is CPU, not GPU. Radeon is GPU just by the way.
Anyways for $300 you can get an RX 5600 XT on AMD’s side, or you can get a GTX 1660 super or possibly an RTX 2060 ko on Nvidia’s side. I believe 5600 XT has better pure performance in gaming, but if you want to do anything other than gaming like live-streaming or video editing then Nvidia is the way to go
if i recall, theres a rumor that production on the 2000 series is about to stop which will apparently cause a slight increase in price at least until the 3000 series comes out. not sure how true the production rumors are tho
I doubt Nvidia is going to cease production on the entire 2000 line before the entire 3000 line is out. I could see them ending production of the non-Supers, might even kill the 2080 Super and 2080ti once the high end 3000 cards roll out (because apparently those are releasing first).
yeah i heard the same thing about them stopping for 2000 series cards
Of course, it's a rumor. This is the time when the bullcrap rumors spread fast.
classic pebkac issue
so do yall think the nvidia 3000 series cards will all use that double sides fan design
^ like our buddy here says, it's simply illogical to use those on the lower heat producing cards (aka the 3070s) and below
@royal root Ryzen is CPU, not GPU. Radeon is GPU just by the way.
Anyways for $300 you can get an RX 5600 XT on AMD’s side, or you can get a GTX 1660 super or possibly an RTX 2060 ko on Nvidia’s side. I believe 5600 XT has better pure performance in gaming, but if you want to do anything other than gaming like live-streaming or video editing then Nvidia is the way to go
@bitter jungle Thank you Radeon is the right one
Im just hoping theres a design that works for sff cases, ive got a few applications that will use as much processing as i can throw at them
Anyone around who could help me with some GPU advice?
@velvet stirrup what you need
should i get the rx 5700xt, 2060s, or 2070s?
If you want to spend another hundred dollars essentially for ray tracing and 5 frames go 2070s because that's the best card there.
If you don't really care about ray tracing. Go 5700xt because the drivers are great now and it's the best price for performance
the ray tracing is okay @velvet stirrup but i recommend the 5700xt and just save up for the rtx 3000s because the ray tracing is not too good on current rtx cards
^^
Can you undervolt Nvidia 600 series cards? If so, how?
@wet pebble like Mav said the 2070s is the best card there, but it depends if you’re going for just gaming, or if you want ray tracing and the ability to stream and edit. The 5700xt is your best bet for just gaming, but for anything else and another 100 bucks I’d go with the 2070s or even just the 2070
are you guys sure about the drivers
i might just go 2060s
because it will be risk free
Drivers are pretty solid rn, shouldn't have any issues
I have a 5700xt and it's worked flawless for me
good graphics card for 90 hit me
90 USD?
yes
Define "Good"
can run gta or Warzone at least 60 fps at 720 or low 1080p
What CPU do you have?
How much over 90 can you go?
about 30 bucks
How do you feel about buying used?
i dont really care
as long as the graphics card doesnt need to be flashed forgot what that means or has unreliable drivers
You should be able to find a used rx 570 for around that price
yeah
Normal or ti?
normal 2 gb
what do you mean by update
You're getting a new GPU
oh yeah
Looks like an expected perforance increase of 50 to 75%
There's a 4GB and an 8GB option
oh okay thanks for the informatioon
np
im looking for a new gpu for overwatch pc version. i have an i5 6500 and 16 gigs corsair dominator memory. maybe $200 $300 price range? i currently have a
MSI GAMING GTX 970 GAMING
I'd say upgrade CPU first probably
ok ty
i run overwatch on competition low settings im getting 300 fps now....
render scale 75%
I don't think you need any more than that, especialy if you only have a 60-165Hz monitor
up render scale a bit, I think it'll look better and you don't need over 144 fps anyways imo
ok
What's ur monitor's refresh rate? @lone pond
Then you'll only be able to see 60 fps
you can't see anything over that becuase your monitor limits it
i understand that, but higher anyways could get me an edge in a 1 on 1 dual in the game?
Technically yes
But still, 300 fps isn't worth it for the game's image quality you're sacrificing if you ask me
ok ok , i have vsync off
okay...?
oh nm
Yeah lol if Vsync was on you wouldn't go over 60 fps anyways :P
correct, hehehe
i want to drop in a gpu without upgrading i5 6500, can only afford gpu right now
or should i jus leave it for another year?
Upgrading motherboard + CPU to a newer Ryzen (Like a 3600 or 3100 or 3300X or something) can fit into your budget
Cheap B450+ Ryzen 3600 is only like $250
hmmm i have not been amd since the ole amd rules the nest days, they made big comeback, would be big makeover for me
the server isnt running at 300Hz. maybe 128Hz if you're lucky
interesting
GTX 970 still is a pretty good mid range card
But your CPU is gonna start showing it's age
ok its very nice its an msi gaming series gtx 970, nice nice
You'll notice input response time differences until like 120Hz on a 60Hz panel
beyond that, no real need for extra FPS until you get a monitor upgrade
ok ty, thats a big one also,
i knew a little bout that, need to keep that in mind bigtime
welp i guess i will be getting a monitor first.......let the hunting begin........
afk be back at 8pm est
im shocked the 6500 is outdated, i thought it was still good muscle....
well, low core/thread count and meh per core performance
Nitro+ RX580? Nitro+ 5700XT? Smth else? Nitro+ doesnt refer to the actual GPU, just a brand model
rx 5700xt nitro+
it is like a 60 difference for money
thats going to be insanely expensive
then ill hve to get other good parts so i wont bottleneck
really
whats your specs
oh ok
well for that i would use a amd ryzen 7 3700x or if you have the budget a ryzen 9 3900x
my specs are a 5700xt
and a ryzen 7 3700x
thats good
and i am gonna upgrade to ryzen 9 next year
so i think the 5700xt will be better off for you
what do you intend to do with it
like are you gonna use ray tracing is that a big thing for you
mostly gaming, a bit of graphic design, some editing, and maybe streaming
idk about ray tracing, ill try it if i get a nvidia carf
ok then the ryzen 9 would be better for you
and if you really need more get the ryzen 9 3950x but i think you are gonna be good with the 9 3900x
and a 5700xt
cause the gaming is overall better and for streaming
i have two lists an intel one and a ryzen one
whats way better?
because amd is more towards the content creator side rtx is gaming
whats way better?
@wet pebble 5700xt
than the 2070s?
yup
amd gpus are better for content creation
but if your looking for gaming
get a a 2070s
the 5700xt is good in gaming and everything
so dont think the 5700xt is bad for gaming
also dont get Intel pls
i really dont know what to go for. intel or ryzen and an amd or nvidia gou
its gonna be way more costly
and way less power
a ryzen card will get you more
because Intel cards are better for gaming by 10% than Ryzen
while Ryzen is better in everything
but the intel cpu has better core and boost clock
huh?
every sector its better than intel
and cheaper
the only place Intel beats Ryzen is if you have a mid range or lower GPU than you get 10 % more
but your getting a 5700xt or a 2070s
or in high tier gaming systems
it wont matter the 10%
where did u get the mid/low range gpu theory?
its not a theory
i mean you really see it in low range
the extra gaming
but in high range
if your at 240 your not gonna notice a extra 10 frames
or even if your above 120
ill send my intel and ryzen list
intel is not budget friendly unless you find something used
and some time if your lucky for even less price
o wait i cant send a pcpart link
because AMD is almost alway on sale
and the starting price is cheaper
Achieved a 1090 undervolt on my 5700xt Nitro. Dropped my temps by over 15c.
nice
I thought I had 1050 for a while. Till I crashed in games. Heaven benchmark was great for this
@wet pebble the amd build
But my Ram is a disaster. Anything over stock flickers
yea that would be better
ryzen is cheaper
3800x is 4.5 boost
and it will give you better performance
but then its around the same price for ryzen and intel
It’s little ya. But it’s their
so which has better performance
Games. Intel. Productivity. AMD
in games if you have a good gpu like the one your buying
what about if i do mostly games but some productivity
But. The gaming gap is only 5-10%. The productivity is like 30%
then it doesn't matter if you have ryzen or intel
however if you are getting a mid or lower gpu
so just go whats cheaper?
than the 5-10% will matter
@wet pebble ryzen 7 is cheaper
thats huge
between 10700k and 3800x
30 frames
the 30 frames will only matter if you are getting a lower end gpu
but ur getting a 5700xt
which is a high end gpu
or 2070s
so it wont be 30 frames
literally just watch a youtube video
yea or 2070s
Frames are mostly dependent on cpu
no
Especially when you get above 144
most games have gpu bottleneck but ok
@arctic phoenix so between a ryzen 7 3800x and an intel 10600k theres a huge fps difference?
no
3700x
only if your getting a low end gpu
10600k and 3700x is around 10-15 frames
but ur not
You reduce graphics anyway if you want competitive. You max ur frames
10700k is the best one basically
for gaming for lower end gpus
is it worth the price tho?
what
you decide
Ok thanks
is it worth paying for an aftermarket cooler
AMD is generally “good enough”. But if you insist on best gaming cpu then you have to go Intel
yea but in a higher end
in higher end gaming systems
it really wont if your at 240 and you can get 255 with intel
its not really gonna matter
25 frames
^
?
also he said he wants to do a little gaming, video editing and streaming
do you think the 2070 super can get 240 frames in most games?
no
so ur not gonna do all of that
mostly gaming, and a little graphic design and some editing and maybe streaming
ok
those are all maybes
and intel isnt exceptionally bad in any of those
yes AMD is better
but mainly you'd use it for gaming
what is your monitor @wet pebble
i think you will be better off with AMD
whats your budget again?
@wet pebble whats your budget
around 1300
usd
yes
ok
im leaning towards ryzen
yea
its like a 10fps difference
because Intel will cost you more
and prob go out of your budget
and it will cost even more to oc
y
cause in Intel
if your CPU doesn't end in a k
you can overclock
you have to buy a CPU with a k which cost more
75 bucks and up
more
i have a k in my list
yea so its gonna cost more
no
With Intel you pay extra for the K CPU, the CPU cooler, and the mobo
the k is unlocked no?
yes it is
Do not get an Intel CPU for gaming unless you have a 2080S or 2080Ti
yes
can get a better GPU instead of CPU
cause your budget is very tight
if you get a k and a 2070s, and then you have to buy a afterarket cooler
my ryzen list is around the same price as intel
and pay more for a mobo
if i go 7 3700x
there is no point like Hei said
cause your are not getting a 2080s or 2080ti
if you do
its gonna be wayy out of your budget
can do 3600+2080S in $1360 budget
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2ytwBZ
thats a 3600
he wants a 3700x
i rather get a good cpu and gpu
like go down on the gpu to get a better cpu
instead getting a really good gpu and a meh cpu
or getting a really good cpu and a meh gpu
isnt that bottlenecking?
kinda
for 2080s and 5 3600
no
i have no idea what to get 😂
get a ryzen 7 3700x
and a 5700xt
but if you want ray tracing and your main focus is not content creation but gaming, get a 2070s
@wet pebble
ill probably go 2070s
ill just pay extra for a tiny bit more performance and ill try out ray tracing
not really then
but change your hdd to a 2tb one it
its literally 2 times the storage
for 7 more dollars
Ok
Is it possible to undervolt Nvidia 600 series GPUs? If so, how? I have an EVGA GTX 670 FTW id like to undervolt.
voltage control seemed to at least use to be possible before. Does it not work now?

It's 680, but should be basically same as 670 I'd assume
Nah I can't open up the graphics card as a screw is stripped on it and it's running at a nice and toasty 93 degrees so I need to get some better thermals @wicked hound
I didn't look at the video other then like 30 sec, but that is for voltage. Do you need to open the card for voltage stuff at 600 series? @bitter jungle
No you asked "Does it not work now?"
And it does
But I can;t open it to clean it and replace paste
so that's why i need to undervolt.
Am I not understnading @wicked hound?
*understanding
You asked for how to undervolt it which I thought you already undervolted some cards before. With the fact you are asking that and for 600 series I assumed that 600 series was locked down in some wierd way.
Oh lol no I've never undervolted
Welp, talk to too many people I guess. Maybe it was 1111. Idk now
So i just follow that video and I should be good?
I think. I didn't check the video for it and assumed Jayz would get it at least mostly right
UI might be a bit different due to age
aight. I'll try it out and see what I can do
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WkwTL2 hows this?
Looks like a very capable list
Just FYI, that mobo is not in stock on bestbuy but it is on newegg
Hey @wicked hound is there any way to reduce temps without undervolt? Like reducing power limit or something? I’ve heard from a bunch of sites that 600 series can’t be undervolted, I think that video is just for overclocking or something.
RX 480 vs RX 570?
Assuming same price.
Unfortunately I'm finding a lot of conflicting information
Probably 570. I believe performance is like almost the same but 570 is newer. Also some older 480s like to draw more power from the slot then they should @pale talon
ok
hmmm
trying to win auctions on 470/480/570/580 atm
if you see a BIN price of $90 would you take it and run
Nope
Highest I’ve gone is a 470 for $80 a little while ago. That’s because I literally couldn’t find anything better. You can get better prices
unfortunately uh
there was a 480 for $75 this morning
but I forgot to bid on it
...
Forgot
wait actually I mean
Bruh
Smhmh

Deals > sleep
smh
wednesday couldn't come soon
sooner
need my $40 970
@royal copper stop ghosting
smh
yes I am discriminating

imagine being this seller and wondering why your auction has 0 bids
I got a 470 4gb for $50
was that truly recent
Lol I’ve seen that one hyper
feels like prices gone up
Yes it was like a week ago
oof
And it was in crazy good condition
guess I need to be a bit more patient then
Didn’t even have to clean or anything
also what do these listings that say "seller refurbished" even mean
I will bet all my money
half these guys don't even know what a thermal paste swap is
@bitter jungle if you can increase vcore you should be able to decrease it I'd assume
if using afterburner you'd need to do a custom voltage curve
Just did another stress test without any cleaning and it gets to like 95 degrees :P
@pale talon how much
@wicked hound how to use afterburner for voltage
rule no. 9 intensifies
I think that'd be all you need for voltage control
if not reference design best to change it
@wicked hound there’s reference, standard MSI, extended MSI, and third party. Which one?
So I should choose 3rd party since I have EVGA?
is it a ref PCB tho?
FTW was blower style back then?
blower style makes me assume ref, but FTW makes me think otherwise
shouldnt. Never heard of that happening before
Mmk I’m gonna try reference
either ref or third party I guess. Probs ref first
just do a small vcore increase and see if it works
before the fun UV
It's % based
Err
Top one right?
wait nani? Yours is mV?
wierd, anyways, 600 series has a cap so dont need to worry about damaging it
should be software OC rn, so should be fine

Bro power button won’t turn PC off...
I’m scared
I’m scared
Wtv if I need to I’ll sell this GPU as for parts and just get new one :P
Hyper
hold it for 5 seconds
Yes
nani
This is wacky

this stuff will softlock your PC a lot if not in correct settings
???
What happen
Yams knowledge of pc parts is being updated
system postponed update until next boot
I have that basic wide range knowledge but idk about this kinda stuff hngrr
This is what I’m referencing
I guess I should start spelling “hrngh” right
It’s got CPU fan issue stripped GPU screw and dumb front fan >:|
also wait how exactly does 970 stack up to the other stuff
You know what I’m taking this GPU out and trying again to clean it
Let’s see if I strip another screw smhmh
hey, anyone here that may be able to help me figure something out about nzxt g12?
okay well uh
it definitely appears to be a bit better than 570
and that's all I needed to know
but it does seem a bit slower than 580

or maybe I'm not watching enough benchmarks
@past mantle maybe someone in #old-cooling knows about it
thx
Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Video Graphics Card - 4 GB GDDR5 - USED. Condition is Used.
This was pulled from a pre-built compact ASUS gaming PC that I purchased new. It was used for a streaming device with light VR gaming in our living room until the graphics card was suddenly no longer detected. I am not an expert and do not know what is wrong with it, if anything, hence the low price. It has absolutely no physical damage or anything that would suggest that it's not working properly. If you know how to fix it, it is a steal at this price. I am selling it AS IS because it was not working for me and I don't know if it was the graphics card or something else or if it can even be fixed, so please keep that in mind! Thanks for looking! 🙂Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Video Graphics Card - 4 GB GDDR5 - USED. Condition is Used.

If ur PSU can handle it
Oh man sold?
Omg omg OMG
I can unscrew a different part of the GPU
Idk if it’ll come off but it’s worth a shot
wait what are you doing again
Cleaning the GPU
Trying to reduce temps
And now I can finally finish this built :D
Words cannot describe how happy I am
Thank you thank you
This concludes the episode of “Yams asks a question in which he doesn’t understand the response given to him so he tries something else and it works and it’s just a waste of time and frustrates everyone”
New episode every two weeks

No actually
still hate you though
I didn’t mean it like that :(
hi five

I’m leaving this server since obviously I’m not appreciated 😭
guys
seller doesn't know what the hell this card is
let's do some sleuthing
and maybe snipe it
Sure...?
sorry
I forgot that's politically incorrect
I meant to say e-waste
okay but seriously though
Still don’t get it
Gtx 660 is still decent super-budget card
it is

that one actually looks exactly like my 670
but with a single 6-pin
instead of double 6-pin
so I guess that supports them being from the same gen
Gtx 960 uses single 6 pin
yes but aren't the 700-series onwards reference models made with silvery shrouds
Are you sure?
so apparently
this seller did exactly zero leave-it-in-the-pc-and-turn-it-on to see what it is
sadness
I wanna reach through my screen and give him a slap
a light one
but hard enough to make him feel bad
I feel that
That’s another Hyper quote I’m saving to my collection
So far I have 2

how many
o---
oh
"New ListingGIGABYTE AORUS GeForce GTX 1060 (rev 2.0) 6GB Graphics Card"

The only other one is “greetings and salutations my confederate fleshlings”
I have
I’ll use tape?
yes
Ok
super glue is vegan
I have 10 super glues I can use
peace
@pale talon
Dihydrogen monoxide okay with you?
Yes I drink two gallons of it every day
Good for you
Do you drink the two gallons at once or...
Like do you take sips throughout the day
I had a Gigabyte RX 470 and it was loud and didn’t cool that well. I had the MSI version and it cooled well and was quiet
So it’s a no brainer
MSI
You’re talking about the red and black one right?
yes
Ok just making sure
So many armor models are being sold used :P
can somebody pls fact check this mang
yeah the armor ones have crummy cooling from everything i've heard
Maybe at 240p...

Possibly 480p
And wait isn’t it only a DX10 card?
bruh, the HD4830 has like...512MB vram iirc
Fortnite is only DX11 I think. Or does it support DX10?
anyway there's a BIN MSI Gaming X RX 570 for $90 and I am wondering at this point if I should just take it
I mean
I can definitely get better deals
if it's the 8GB, the gamign X is a solid card
but how much longer am I gonna spend waiting around for auctions
i'd say worth it
@pale talon that’s been up there for so long. I’m suprised it hasn’t sold.
Yeah like a month ago
Considering the number of people
who shark ebay
for graphics cards
of course you've seen it

Lol
