Founders edition isn't really special
oh
Its just avegage
Fe cards tend to be the cheapest actually
Don't get me wrong, its still a good card.
gotcha
fe cards are the ones nvidia makes theyre decent at a decent price
so should i get evga or is there others that are better
I like evga and then gigabyte
Sure
So EVGA is the best?
What’s the difference than them aren’t they the same graphics cards for example a EVGA 2070super and a Gigabyte 2070super what would be the difference? Assuming both are 3 fan cards
Different coolers and some have slightly higher core clocks
oh
There's brand loyalty too ig
oh
EVGA/Gigabyte is best on the cheap side usually. But is a bit eh sometimes when it comes to high the end
My top 3 brands I’m loyal too is Gigabyte, MSI, and Corsair
Not for just Gpus but everything
eh, Corsair is only good for PSUs tbh
MSI is quite lackluster in quality. Probs only a couple x570 boards I can think of rn out of everything I know they've done are good
Gigabyte does well on the cheap stuff. Usually a good option for very budget things on mobos and is quite competitive with EVGA on the cheap GPUs
but high end I havent heard of much from them
some good high end mobos I guess
Corsair makes good peripherals that aren’t too pricey and are quite good. I’ve had an MSI b150 mortar 1151 board for 5 years now and have had no issues. Would disagree with them skimping on quality, they were one of the first to use a re-enforced pcie slot and it was an absolute must with my zotac omega card.
Corsair peripherals fail a lot based on experience and what I've seen on the Internet. They are most definitely pricy for what they are too. Cheap compared to Razer or smth. Expensive compared to Redragon or the "not so name brand".
MSI is usually meh on quality. Just because it hasnt failed yet doesnt mean it's good. Like look at Ryzen. First gen mobo was botch on BIOS features and quality (tho most failed on actual quality on first gen). Their second gen mobo was bad on quality too for the most part. Like the b450 Tomahawk? Lack of M2 dual NVMe ports and lack of a good sound chip compared to cheaper mobos. Same price bracket you lack those features plus extra x16 PCIe slot, lack of WiFi, and lack of a better LAN chip. A nice one was the b450 Carbon Pro tho. x470 was okay. Their basic x470 was bad and was worse quality then much cheaper b450 boards. The high end was okay I think, but kinda pricy iirc. Their x570 started out horribly with worse quality compared to other vendors. x570 Tomahawk is finally decent, tho questionably worth the price for most tbh. Their GPUs havent been worth it for at least quite a while due to being poor quality compared to other vendors. Sure I myself have a MSI z170 mobo that hasnt failed and works okay, but that doesnt mean they've been amazing across the board.
Corsair is pricey fr, but their flagship mice cost half of what ROG charges
Plus iCue is pretty sick
icue is amazing
the scroll wheel on my m65 broke so i just remapped the side buttons to scroll instead, I didn't like the wider shape and how heavy it was so I switched to a g203, but still a great mouse
the ear cushions on my hs50 fell off in a couple months though :/
It has bugs but is the best I have used. I don't know why people complain about the interface, it's great
That’s respectable. Disses msi but has an msi board
I have lots of corsair stuff, their biggest weakness is the scroll wheel on their mice. they are prone to failure. My m65 that is on a second computer that I dont use a lot I pulled apart after about a year and cleaned it out because it was starting to have issues.
Current mouse is the dark core pro se. I have been using it for maybe 2 months. Swapped from a g502. I miss the scroll wheel on my g502 but other than that I really like the dark core. Time will tell for longevity.
idk their stabs are worse id say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw9ZpxTyoMw
Had a Razer deathadder mouse once many years ago and it started having double click issues in less than 2 weeks. I returned it and never bought another razer product.
Hey I found an MSI GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB VENTUS GP Video Card for about $390. Should I get that, or an MSI GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB GAMING X Video Card for $414?
Wish me luck using the gigabyte rx5700xt, just bought it and feeling worried...
I have 2 corsair keyboards. an older k65 tkl with reds that I used as my main keyboard for about 1.5 years. Current is a k95 rgb with the 18 macro keys. I have been using it for almost 3 years. It was a refurbished keyboard and has been good for me. I did put orings on it though. the clack was annoying without them.
the stabilizers on the spacebar and left shift will get sticky if you don't clean it regularly though.
Only thing I wish was different on my k95 is that I could swap the keys switches without having to pull the keyboard apart and desolder.
Scroll wheel on g502 is soooo fun
vroom
vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
is 85 degrees okay to have while playing a game? it goes to 85 max never goes higher.
i dont like it going higher than 70
i set the limit to 65 but overwatch specifically will push past it
ya 85 is kinda high but not damaging if u mean 85c, i'd increase the fan speed
my pc started getting to 85c but i found it was my msi software causing issue
it came with the mb,so you can oc and things,with out it 70c is about max
hi guys i might have a problem with my rx 580... im typing rn so its not to bad i guess... the fans arent spinning
its MSI
anyone know if this is normal?
When the GPU is idle, yes that’s normal
If it’s under load, like when playing a game, and they don’t spin, that’s not normal
o ok
i figured this out earlier when i also figured out my ram sticks were in wrong... they were side by side
2 and 4 slots
yea thats what theyre in now
i fixed it
im so stupid theyve been like that for probably 2 years now
.... the bad thing is this is a pre built

my advise is if it works dont mess
If it ain't broke, it don't have enough features yet
-Intel, 2019
i guess so i was just checking what HDD i have since its so bad it dosent show up in any software ive got
then i found that my GPU fans dont spin (its normal i now know) and that my ram was installed incorrectly
pray for me when i build my first pc... please
im confused though i watched a video and he pointed out pads for the PSU and said they insulation pads? is this true?
and also installed the ram incorrectly and also pressed hard on his cpu
Did somebody link you the Verge video as a mean joke?
idk in the title it says the verge re upload full video
wdym "Mean joke"
all he did was show me how to build a pc
the verge video is everything wrong with building a PC
don't use that one
and if someone sends you that one, punch them or something
i think both linustechtips and bitwit have both made solid build tutorial videos
must be why for 2 years my ram was installed right next to each other... i just figured out that to day
i like bitwit
hes cool
whats ram do?
bc since i had it messed up i think ive been running on 8gb
instead of 16
I mean, the Verge video is best watched as an exercise in "What not to do." Watch some of the other youtubers who pick it up apart and tell you what is being done wrong.
yea i know what to do now
you install the cpu to the mobo first right?
then thermal paste if the cooler dosent come pre pasted
or whatever
put io shield in
put mother board in
ram
or already install ram before putting it in
SSD if youve got one too
right?
then GPU?
You can really do it in any order you want, but I tend to build out the motherboard as much as possible first (cpu/cooler/ram/m.2) and then put it in the case, connect front panel connectors/fans, then psu, run power to everything, and then gpu.
In the verge video the IO shield is referred to as the “bracket” 💀
How good is a 5600xt with vr?
@desert nest it's decent....
@desert nest it can run it well
will run any 60-90 hz 1080p headset like rift, rift s, or wired quest
I would reccomend getting a rtx card tho, bc some games with ray tracing (alyx, and more coming out) look super cool.
the rtx 2070 is a great card for the price, best with ray tracing... handles 1440p gaming and any headset like a boss
So does a 2080ti 😏
Aaaaaaaaaantago, a 2060 super might also be a good buy with it performing very similar and being easy to find new
Thats what i have in my rig
Is there like a large gaping difference between the 2070s and the 2080s
not too large, but there's a difference
Thank you sir
👌
@soft kayak also here's a video if you wanna see exact differences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRv4WJOSBJY
RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB vs RTX 2080 SUPER 8GB | Tested in 7 PC Games 1440p Benchmark
#RTX2070Super #RTX2080Super #Corei99900K
System Specs :
Operating System : Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
CPU : Intel Core i9-9900K @5.0GHz (Asrock Z390 TAICHI Ultimate)
GPU 1 : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SU...
only notice the difference between the 2 when you run a game like tomb raider
Looking for a 2070 super ....ryzen 7 3700x x570 mobo 32g ram
Trying to stay around $499-550
So 2070 is not fairing so well in keeping up with 1440p/144hz. In destiny 2 on medium graphics, I wange from 85 to 120 fps.
It might be an obvious yes but would a 2080ti be a significant improvement for the cost?
2080ti is the best you can get so.... yes
Keep in mind though new graphics card should be released soon
@muted vortex you want all those part for $499-550?
No for gpu only
Ahh okay
FE 2070s is $499
bestbuy restocks every 2 weeks iirc
The EVGA GeForce RTX 20-Series Graphics Cards are powered by the all-new NVIDIA Turing architecture to give you incredible new levels of gaming realism, speed, power efficiency, and immersion. With the EVGA GeForce RTX 20-Series gaming cards you get the best gaming experience ...
theres also that one
Hm iv noticed the graphics card you want usually decides the budget of ur pc build cuz theyre so expensive
Thats y i prefer radeon to geforce
Im p sure the driver issues have been fixed too
I plan to get a 2060 Super. That's as much as I can justify spending on a GPU.
2070 same price :))
Is there an advantage to water cooling a gpu?
Ok and where is a good place to look for a backplate for my gpu?
better temps, noice, looks, and slightly better performance
Is the MSI GeForce RTX 2070 ARMOR good I’m deciding between this and the Gigabyte Windforce 2x version
https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-1386MHz-Graphics-RX-580P8DFD6/dp/B06Y66K3XD can anyone help me find a water cooling backplate compatible with this card?
i'd advise against watercooling a rx 580 because the cost of the loop/all the parts will be like twice the price of the card itself
Oh ok
Is it normal for one gpu fan to spin stop then the next one spins?
Hey guys do u know and good gpu for streaming and gaming I’ve been looking at the 1660super but idk what brand I should get it from
this is a good 1660s
also good
but more
but i wouldnt reley on just me wait for someone else to reply
evga is a good brand
@meager warren I would wait for next gen
can anyone help me find a watercooling backplate for this card here https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TDN1SC5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
just private dm me if you have something, i dont check this server often
Not if your not in this server silly 😉
watercooling a 2060 is eh. Just sell it and spend the watercooling budget + GPU cash for a better GPU
So i just sold my 5700xt , looking to go back to nvidia at possibly the 2070 or 2080 super. Should I wait for ampere gpus ? I heard next month
If you can wait, I would. Could come out in a month or in three
I might get a cheaper card like a 1650 super for $180 to use until then. You think i could get close to my money back on it when the new series arrives?
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Too many infractions
It's msi 1650 super 4gb gddr6
I just need something until then since my cpu doesn't have graphics with it.
I need help on info on a graphics card can someone help me please?
@compact vortex what is it
I’m running a msi 1060 6gb card but it’s overheating and I have to use the afterburner too turn up the fans plus I’m getting white haze screens. Any ways is a msi 1650 4gb with Directx 12 a better card than the 1060
Are you there sir?
Is anybody here?
Over 2 years bought it used and I changed the thermal paste and no change. So I found the 1650 msi 4gb and want to know is that card better than what I’m using
The 1650 doesn’t say super just it has directx 12 4gb and OC
Then it’s gonna be worse
It on the newegg eBay listing
1650 non super doesn’t have the greatest value unless you’re throwing it in a pre-built
Right now if I run my card fans on auto the temp goes up to 160F
With me controlling the fans it comes down to 140 range
Don’t measure in F
Measure in C
Anything under 85 degrees Celsius is totally fine
I’m not good in measuring in C
Just switch whatever program you’re using to. Celsius
It’s literally just a number
If it’s under 85C, it’s good. And it looks like you’re good, because 160f is 71c
Really? That’s great to hear you just saved me a ton of money that I can now use to buy better ddrr ram
Thank you very much
👌
Lol yw you too
Thank you to everyone that gave me the info
revenge of the Fahrenheit
what GPU should i get for a $850 us build for gaming 
1660 super/2060/ rx 5600xt are 3 i think you can fit in that range
I think he means 850 for the whole rig
just spend it all on a gpu, It will look pretty for you lol
How big is the bottleneck for a 1080 ti with an i7 3770k running on 4.7ghz? my fps are dropping in lower classes even tho benchmarks have normal results. Thanks ! 😀
worth an Upgrade to recent sockel 1151? 4 cores 8 Threads with 4.7ghz not beatable under 500$ right?
lol,the fps goes up
with rtx on
@torn echo jump to i7 4770k ,that will run a 1080 ti just fine
no
no
no
dont
just get a newer cpu/mobo at that point
why would u buy a new mobo and a cpu
for a slight perf increase
Lol. Best thing I’d pair a 3770K with is a 1070. It’ll almost definitely bottleneck hard with a 1080 ti @torn echo
it depends if he wants to drop down from a 1080 ti, little money now for 4770k and i use to have that set up which works great together
but a 1070 would be good so you dont have to change your mb/cpu
down to the $$
2 options , nice to have a choice
@safe flower why should I do that ? Isn’t the Sockel also old ? It’s not the same Sockel, I have 1155 I think 4770k is 1150 I think
i need to upgrade my mac mid 2012 to upgrade to mojave OS. I currently have an ATI Radeon HD 5770 installed. i don't game but i to a lot of photo editing. I researched a little and came up with these choices:
MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 128-bit 4GB GDDR5
SAPPHIRE Radeon PULSE RX 580 8GB GDDR5
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7950 Mac Edition
NVIDIA Quadro K5000 for Mac
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition
Any recommendations?
thanks
@daring bolt its funny because AMD is on 7nm and intel has been trying to work on 10nm for years now
or maybe not years
but its been a while
Amd 7nm is not the same as intel 7nm
Actually 10nm is closer to tsmcs 5nm than 7nm
really?
Yeah
the problem is even rn intels yield rate for 10nm is super low at like 50% iirc
Since you do photo editing, the CPU would be more of a worry, but the 580 should be absolutely fine for photo editing.
You might also want to invest in a more expensive monitor, as you need better colour accuracy
Rather than a crazy expensive gpu**
I mean, the 580 isnt crazy expensive anyways
Not to mention that process size means nothing in terms of how advanced the CPU is. Heck, process size doesn't even say the size of the transister
Yes?
Got take a look at the #old-monitors-and-tv
And tell if you ever seen an rx580 that beefed up
Cause I've never come across one
I tried streaming with the NVENC encoder in rainbow six siege but my game kept averaging 100FPS and frequently (every 8 seconds) dip to 0 fps. when I'm not streaming, I average 150-200 FPS
I already tried reinstalling my drivers but that didn't make a difference
Idk
So if i go 1650 super i get cuda but 4gb vram, vs 580x with 8gb vram, does anyone know what the performance difference in games (and machine learning if anyone knows)
It's not normal that's all I could tell you @runic trail
@little socket 1650s wins in games in 1080p
it lags somtimes
And cuda is much better for machine learning software
1650 super.
Alright, should the 4gb be a concern? I so plan on upgraded maybe q1 2021 when new stuff comes out
oh
Not really, in 1080p we haven't really passed the 4gb mark for high graphics settings
Ofc you wouldn't be expecting like 200fps ultra from a 1650s so
what is the 1660 TI eqaulivent in raedon
Alright makes me feel better, lol 😂 imma be pairing it with a 3700x, but at least it will force me to focus more on programming than gaming.
Uh 5600xt iirc
I mean not really
A half decent GPU allows you to enjoy games in med at high frame rates
But well programing is a nice thing to be doing
Yeah, i mean anything is better than nothing, and i dont plan to play too many brand new aaa games
5600xt beats to 1660Ti by a fair bit
dont think there is a Radeon competitor to 1660Ti. Maybe Fury X or smth
What gpu do you recommend for a i5 9600k
@lone pond it depends on what you're doing, but typically i go for whatever i can afford in my budget
like ill get everything priced out and then use all the rest of the budget on the card, unless i have a specific card in mind
I was gaming the other day and noticed my pc was absurdly loud. I quickly realized it was my gpu which was producing the noise. I stress tested my gpu and my fans were running around 2700 rpm. 2700 rpm is around 100% fan speed.
The gpu temps during the test were around 75C. My fan curve is set up to run at 70% at 80C. 70% rpm equals around 2000 not 2700 rpm.
I tried setting the fan speed at a constant 70%. The fan speed was staying at a steady 70% when the gpu was not under load, as it should. When I stress tested it with the 70% fan speed at all times. My gpu would just ignore it again and start blowing at 100% speed.
My gpu alwasy does the 100% fan speed around 75C. I also tried tweaking with different fan curves and it still wouldn't work.
I really want to know why my gpu is ignoring the fan curve and blowing at 100 percent. I also would like to know how to solve this issue.
TLDR: My gpu is blowing at 100% fan speed, even though it should be blowing at a lower percentage. Pls help.
@sudden dove how long have you owned this GPU? Also, what software are you using to set a fan curve?
2070s
Hey all can anyone help me understand what the advantages of quadro cards over Geforce cards? In particular as it pertains to architecture work in like illustrator, photoshop, archGIS and rhino/plugins. I am looking for a new laptop for a grad program, the rest of the specs would be i7, 32gb ram, and deciding between like a geforce 2070 or Quadro T2000
Quadros are the hardcore stuff
For your job I would go for a Quadro
Only if it fits in your budget tho
If a Quadro is too expensive try a 2080 super
@merry remnant
Don't go i7 ideally. AMD is much better at workstation tasks, esp in laptops
I haven't seen/am not familiar with amd's stuff. I was under the impression that for vector based graphics and such my single core clock speed would be what I wanted to maximize.
@lone pond Its for a grad program
I was looking between like the 2070 on the new dell G7 or like the T2000 on the thinkpad p1 gen 2
for what I'm spending I would be willing to go the extra if the T2000 offered significant advantages though
ah
Yeah there are advantages
You could go for it
And yeah AMD cpu's are better
You should try to find like a Ryzen 9
ok, I'll look for that. you think id regret not going for the quadro sooner when I upgrade?
hmm hard to tell
you should run a benchmark
i personally dont know how much better it is
compare the gpus using a site called userbenchmark.com
yeah when I see benchmarks a lot of them seemed to have more to do with gameplay performance than like vector graphics. especially in the overlap of the low end quadro high end geforce. Ill take a look and read everything on that site though. thanks for all the help
Hello everyone. I'm looking to purchase a new graphics card for my PC but I'm not very tech savy. Could someone DM and give me a hand?
@lone pond unless it's personal imma just ask what you need in this channel cause I'm trying to get my rank up lul
Whats ur budget?
yo
i have such a weird issue
i just replaced my rtx 2070 super.. running it with z490 and i7 10th gen
cause it was Coil Whining
its still Coil Whining but only when I turn off one monitor it's so weird
ill pay 50$ in crypto whoever helps me pm pls 😛
@lone pond are you sure it’s your GPU? Could be your PSU or monitor
Also pretty sure paying people to help you isn’t allowed on this server lol
What PSU model do you have
both monitors do the same when unplugged in windows
the gpu starts to make loud noise
850 g3 evga
The monitors make a noise when they’re unplugged?
No
The GPU does
It feels like the GPU or the Motherboard can't handle the screens when they are idle
Guess with voltage.. it's really weird
Try clearing your motherboard’s CMOS
Uhh will a 600W psu be able to handle the new Ampere cards?
Have heard they’ll draw upwards of 300W
Possibly
depends on the GPU and the PSU. If it's a bad PSU and a high end GPU, no. If it's a good PSU and a mid-range GPU (like 3070) probably. if you have a 10900k and 3080/3090 or whatever it is then nah
Well they are gonna have the new 12 pin connections
So current psus might not even work
afaik you can just buy an adapter and they should work
And yeah you can just buy an adapter
What cpu and gpu budget to play r6
300 for what
$220 for both
That's your budget?
No for gpu and cpu
Yeah
Nothing
New and not for a couple of weeks
Um maybe
Ok
So
You mind spending $30 extra?
If you do then I'll switch it up a bit
@proper dragon
For sure a ryzen 3100
But for gpu either an rx 570 or 580
Ur pick tbh
Is refurbished good
Depends on what your buying and who fixed it
Is a one fan 1650 super good
what games are u trying to run?
No I decided to get the 1650 super and a i3 9100f
W
Cause I want to play r6 good
Same
@proper dragon Would recommend an rx 580 and whatever AMD cpu fits
Ok is the 1650 super good for r6
It's okay, but not great
You'd be better off with the rx 580. I bit more performence for the same price
As for cpu, is there any reason you have to use intel?
Cause the 9100f is gonna be barely adequate
i'd honestly paypal the dude to help him out a bit i don't mind but id have to get my paypayl back up rip ;-;
i have no money :/
There's a solution to that Kisuke
huh?
Having no money
whats the solution, is what i meant lmao
Job
so i have a 1080ti anyone else still rocking this gpu and if so are yall thinking about the next upgrade to get?
Ooof that would do it
barely bought this pc lmao
anyone here work oil field?
Say hypotehtically I buy a graphics card on ebay. What's a way to stress test it so that I am 99% sure that it isn't gonna die in 30 or 180 days if I resell it?
Up to you, i would run (if u dont want to install new Programm) just Kombuster for like 30 min to 1 hour, maybe on higher Core and Memory speed. but there is no guarantee test for next year 😉
my gpu is a 1650 super oc 😦
I have a gts 450 right now and I’ve been wanting to upgrade. What’s a good budget GPU that’s works good with a ryzen 3 2200g?
You could go used market if you’re looking for a good deal on older pascal gpu’s, but amd’s 5600xt isnt a bad card for the price
Ok thank you!
anytime @lone pond 
5700 xt or 2070
What’s the best version of the 2080 ti for around $1,200. ( I don’t know the differences between different companies)
I would wait for the new gpu launches tbh it would force nvidia and aib’s to lower prices for the rtx 2000 series to get rid of stock
Evga they have the best customer service & rma
Question, are the 1660 Nvidia cards good, cause I saw someone say they aren’t really good and now I’m worried.
the super variants or Ti are going to be worth your while, amd's 5600xt or 5700 would be good alternatives if not better,
I prefer Zotac's 5 year warranty tho unless I plan to change my gpu within 3 years time.
the super variants or Ti are going to be worth your while, amd's 5600xt or 5700 would be good alternatives if not better,
Personally, I think the super is the only variant that’s good value. 1660 and 1660 TI have too high price tags
yeah 1650 super and 1660 super are the only good 16xx cards really rn
Definitely
1650 non super can be okay if you’re throwing it in a pre-build but even then it’s still not the greatest
yea i'd only buy it if u dont have psu cables, just the pcie slot to use
Can I ask something I’ve been looking at graphics cards and was wondering which of these two should I get
2070 will provide you with a slight increase in performance compared to the 2060 (S) just shy of 2% increase
Ahh I was wondering because they were both the same price so I wasn’t sure what to go with
if you want to save a few bucks going for this gigabyte model wouldn't be that bad either, its $399 and has a $15 off discount with code GBTVGAFS39
@rocky void ^
Thanks
If i bought a RTX 2060 would it be bottlenecked by my i5-9400F
please @ me with an answer
my brain is my bottleneck
upgrade it 4Head

i dont think they make anything for that socket anymore
is taking drugs overclocking your brain??
@royal root Depends on what resolution you're playing at as a first question, if you'
re playing csgo at 1080 it might cap you but it would be at like 3-400 fps lol
I wouldn't worry about it
If it fits...
Amd Ryzen 5 3600x
Thats a cpu
But a 3600 would go good with a 1660s, or Rtx 20xxSuper series
Ive heard overclocked 3600(x) can go with 2080ti
just wait few months and new gpus should be coming
So for some reason when I am playing Warzone with my EVGA 2070 Super, I will be in the lobby, after hours of gameplay. When I load into the actual match randomly it's like my GPU won't boost. It will only go to like 80 frames. I have to relaunch the game for it to finally boost again. Any ideas? Drivers are up-to-date
Hmmm
LMAOOOOO
Never have had driver issues suprisingly
Very happy I didn't get it when it launched lol
havent had any problems with my evga 2070 super
nitro rx5700xt ships tomorrow
I would trade my 5700xt Nitro in a heartbeat for a 2070 super
never been a nvidia fanboi all AMD CPU GPU gang
Hi
Sup

Why lmao @upper mural
Does the 1660 super support 1440p or only 1080p?
both
just guessing it has modern dp/hdmi ports it should be fine for 4k or 8k
1080p 144hz would be a good spot for the card
Any
There are good ones and bad ones, but they don't really care whether it's amd or intel
ok thanks
@granite juniper does it matter whether I get a free sync or g sync monitor?
Because I'm thinking of upgrading to an rtx 2070 super in the future
@hollow zephyr simple. The 2070 super has better performance, and none of the finicky behavior
you can run nvidia cards on freesync monitors, gsync is better but usually a decent amount more
Hmm I guess I'll look into a g sync monitor better to get a better one right now than keep having to upgrade monitors
@upper mural ya cause it costs like $100 more 
That’s the reason I have a 5700xt. But my experience thus far tells me I should have just spent the extra 70$
You updated the drivers??
Of course. I will say my card is fine. Except for wattman that keeps resetting my settings such as turning on zero fan when I’ve disabled it
Reason: Bad word usage
Other settings as well
Looking for a 2070 super have around $500-580 to spend any Recommendations
Memories 😋
Ooh that’s must be worth something decent
worth nothing unless your name is dovahkiin
Could I have never heard my GPU whining until a few days ago because I always had the back of my PC, where all sound can come out, away from me?
only gsync monitors w/ a module make a big difference, but driver compatibility for ones without gsync compatibility, unless its a va panel they will flicker, i dont believe ips will flicker if its just freesync
some gpus coil wine, definitely way more at obsurdly high fps
Only at 144 fps
id warranty it or exchange then
It's not loud but I think I just never noticed it before
not that its bad, they are just loud and that would get annoyting
say if you water cooled it, it would resinate more i bet
i tried a 290x for a day and that thing coil wined, exchanged it for 780ti instead. idk i never liked amd cards, the drivers and quality of product
I will never get an amd cared due to my workflow
It seems like people fixed it by lowering the power levels
Or raising it a bit in some cases
i mean that can do it, but normally on say my 1080ti even w/ water block on it, you wont hear it unless doing performance test benchmark and its like 3-4000fps
idk such low fps id just warranty it how old is it?
About 5 months
But I think I just never noticed it otherwise
I'll try turning it back tmr and see what happens
well they would exchange it probably and youd have a new card again
5 months newer lol
some of the companies do upgrade program too...
let you pay the difference to upgrade to a different higher tier gpu
i know evga does it but dunno about other brands
within a certain time period
Okay, thanks for the help. I'll test tmr and see if I can hear it with my PC the same way I had it for a while
It seems to also have some kind of dumb problem where I have to update the graphics drivers or any full-screen game flashes black
Reinstall not update
Might be fr not restarting after driver updates but idk
i really never had any problems with nvidia gpus, only amd, and i had lots of nvidia from 7900gtx sli, 9800gtx gtx 470, 780ti, 980ti sli, 1080ti.. waiting on 3080 or 3090 whatever it will be.. skiped 2080ti
voodoo 2 3000 lol
i had only 3 amd gpus ever, and only kept one in a 2nd pc while back
the 280x was meh, and 290x like said had the coil wine
the amd was ati radeon hd 2900xt lol
had 2nd pc to have friend come over to play wow long long ago look slike 07
Just curious, is there any price estimation for 30XX series?
nope
Let's hope they don't double the price again 🙂
@limpid latch Yeah I don't think it showed up until a few days ago but it's pretty quite
I wanted some assistance locating an RTX 2060 and up that has RGB capability or pretty much any graphics card that is great for multi-monitor setup, gaming, and video editing. I would prefer RGB. I would like to to fit in my DeepCool Genome II case.
Hey all! Hope you guys are having a great week *
@hushed stirrup They'll be $500, plus or minus an order of magnitude
Anyone ever had a shipment from newegg get lost in this stage on the UPS Site? "Shipment Ready for UPS"
awesome lol, literally the last part of my computer
@grave marten you could get a 2060 super or 2070 for more performance and only a bit more money
But I'll see if I can find something
Okay I will in a bit because PCPartPicker wants to kill my phone for some reason
@modern rapids what is the cpu ?
My gpu is a gigabyte 2070 super windforce
@rich oasis

Has anyone seen a good deal for a 4gb r x 570
Hello,
I need to update at least the graphics card of my desktop computer I put together 5 years ago.
I will be working with 4k video editing.
Not sure of my budget yet but not looking to pay more than $500 on parts if possible. Open to your suggestions, thank you!
Also if there's anything else I should be considering upgrading, please suggest. Sorry I don't have the specs for my current setup with me right now.
@grizzled nimbus lol. I’ve see. GTX 970s go for less than some RX 570s. They’re in high demand
@onyx dust best you could get with $500 is like an RTX 2070 super, but this could bottleneck your CPU so we need to know your PCs specs
Hey daddy
@bitter jungle Thanks, I'll return with the specs in a couple days. Any particular info I should collect towards this?
@onyx dust probably CPU model, amount of RAM, and PSU make and model
I am still using 970 and it is still performing well for many games. Only the latest game will need medium setting.
@onyx dust For a video editing rig: CPU, GPU, RAM, STORAGE are the ones that matter. However, for the sake of only having to ask once. Add in the PSU model.
NAED YOURE BACK!
aye, more or less @bitter jungle

@bitter jungle @spice prawn Thanks! I was able to gather that info from the old receipt.

Thank you!
You have some outdated specs for sure
I’d recommend an entire system upgrade tbh
But if you want some quick upgrades, I’d say upgrade the RAM, and then maybe GPU?
I'd go GPU first. But extra RAM shouldnt be too much
Yes, eventually I'll try to upgrade it all, but can only afford a couple necessities right now.
Would you recommend any specific brand/model of GPU and RAM? Would the RTX 2070 super bottleneck my CPU?
@onyx dust the bottleneck is the other way around. The CPU will be the limiting factor. (in that comparison)
I would personally take a good hard look at the actual needs (computer wise) that you have.
So I'm AFKing in the 2b2t queue on Minecraft and when I hit F1 (to hide the GUI) my GPU started whining like CRAZY
@quasi flicker most likely because that uncaps the framerate
This happened after I replaced my CPU cooler, could this have anything to do with it?
This is the 2nd CPU cooler apart from stock
The one I had before didn't fit and had too many connections
So I went back to stock and it started whining
it should not be related, unless you somehow damaged your GPU while you installed the CPU cooler.
But now it's louder after I installed the cooler that works better than stock
Could it be because I put my case on it's side so that my mobo was to the floor?
It whines normally in games other than Minecraft too
Breathe mate
we cannot answer 10 questions at once :)
Good point xD
well, we can, but confusion is normally the result :)
Okay
lets start by looking at the CPU cooler change.
You had a non-stock cooler on it, that you then changed back to the stock?
Yes because it didn't fit and had too many mobo connections
okay. Generally, a CPU cooler change, will NOT impact what the GPU cooler does
So I used stock until my current one came and installed the new one when it got here
so, the reason for the "whine" is (most likely) somewhere else
Any clue why it only started after I tried the first one?
was there a minecraft update in between ?
gpu driver update?
"never happended before" <- things happen for the first time at some point :)
reason i am asking about this, is that logically (from a Part POV) there is no connection between the CPU cooler and the GPU cooler.
Btw I still have warranty just incase
@quasi flicker keep in mind, i have basically no idea about minecraft (i have never played it), but is there a vsync option?
Yes
you got that enabled?
No
try and enable that (keep in mind, you might have to restart the game for it to take effect)
I normally cap it at 145 though because Minecraft VSync is wonky
you on a 144 panel?
Yes, Minecraft only goes by intergers of 5 though
aye aye
normally/generally. When GPU load goes crazy (its because the framerate is going bonkers OR because a shader is running berserk somewhere)
But I've done the exact thing at some point and nothing happened except for the fans speeding up a bit
(example of that from ages ago: Warframe had a tileset, where IF you looked out a particular window, instant jet-engine on most GPU's)
lol
that was a simple shader that had been uncapped. Just a random typo really
I'll get a recording of the sound when I get home
About 5 months
very dusty room?
Also, in the queue for the server you're in an empty thing of black and dark purple
No
"empty thing of black and dark purple" <- that you can "see" anything, means it is not technically empty :)
"that anything is showing on your screen" = not empty from a GPU POV
It's just an empty version of the end dimension
No, if anything is rendered I can see it with the client
you are misunderstanding :)
if "anything" is being shown on the screen. as in, the fact that you can "see" anything at all, even something that looks empty. Means that the GPU is doing "something"
and technically, nothing could be shown on the screen, and the GPU could STILL be busy
Only the skybox and my half transparent head is what I can see
Okay so in Minecraft terms I should say 
Nothing is being rendered other than my head's and the skybox
correct :)
Sorry lol
and yes, i am aware that it sounds like nitpicking, but for your specific problem/context, it actually matters :)
nothing to be sorry about, it is not a way that you would normally have to "think" about your GPU
Normally it's fine just in F1 it sounds like a car sliding
Nothing is being rendered other than my head's and the skybox
not always true, could be rendering the chunk below you you are in
so FPS is capped and nothing is being loaded?
No it's uncapped but it was normally anyway and I would get about 300 FPS without the, GPU go brrrr, part.
basically, when coil whine can happen
Glad to see you again Naed :)
Corsair CXM 650W 80+ Bronze Semi-modular
Most likely a GPU/PSU combo of coil whine then.
GPU for MC (and other games) at high FPS
PSU for Fortnite/Subnautica at high power loads
likewise @rigid crag
It never happened before I tried to replace my cooler tho
see what i said earlier about that :)
Could laying my PC down on the side so I could access my CPU better have caused that?
the trick is figuring out IF anything has happended.
Btw it was that loud with my case closed
Also, I have a Gigabyte 2070 Super WindForce OC 3X
small changes can trigger large effects
Thanks auto-correct, WindoForce cards 260% exist
but yeah, coil whine is one of the worst consumer PC noises
apart from maybe some pop/bang of a component blowing up
Last time I tried to record what is sounded like my phone couldn't get it but it was quiter then
idk, lot of people seem to have trouble with recording coil whine
heard a fair few people try to record it and then when listening to the video I rarely hear it
I wonder if it's just so high pitched mics can't really pick it up
I guess that's what we have audio editors for tho
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
a "intelligent" mic can easily decide that it is background noise. Hence why IF you are trying to record it, Do a couple of recordings, at least one of them being with you talking quietly while recording
I have RTX Voice xD
Nah mobile would probably be better tho
I think I've turned off block out background stuff
Now that I hear it again, it's basically the same as when I play Fortnite except when Fortnite is running the fans are louder so they're drowning it out
What the sound editor again @spice prawn?
nvm I got it
Well I recorded it but you cant hear it on PC, at all
It only happens when I have FPS uncapped
Also VSync isn't wonky on this version
It still does it at 144 FPS on Fortnite with all settings but shadows maxed, any ideas?
listen closely to it, is it PSU or GPU for FN?
GPU
I turned volume all the way down and it was there from the same place my GPU is at
I'll try it with afterburner on and see what happens
Here is it with 2000s level quality because I can't use the snipping tool or it stops 😂
Do you think running it like this for a bit might make it stop or kill it?
Dumb ideas 100
wont kill it, but anytime it's running at high FPS like that 1.5k it'll coil whine
Only about 50% utilization too
My CPU was 51°C because I also have two Discord bots, a Minecraft server, and ngrok running
what is this, MC?
well MC doesnt use GPU much so dont expect 100% usage unless shaders in a more packed place
So it's an empty end Dimension world
either way, capping to 145 should help a lot in terms of fixing it
VSync seems to not be as buggy in 1.12.2 so that's a +
Anyone here know how the 1660 super is for VR
It's doable, but rough
@formal kayak it's not great
Any card you recommend instead that isnt super expensive
Can you fit a 2060 super?
Yes, how much is it usually?
Around 300-320
??
Wait crap
That's for the 2060 non super
Sorry, checked the wrong box...
New
Ooo
Do you have a pcpartpicker list? We might be able to shave enough off from other places to get a better card
^
I do, but cant access it rn, i can post it here later or dm you later when i can
Oke
You won't be able to post a link for a bit, so dm might work better
What are the basic specs?
16 gb ram, forgot the cpu
3600?
Perhaps, i have a bad memory, sorry
Sure
Can I get an F in chat
So I think I should go with the 470 because my little i5 will bottle neck the 570 too much
Is this a ok deal it's pre flashed with a gaming bios
@cyan swift If you're going to get a 3rd gen Ryzen at least get the 2060 Super
I have an rx 590 8GB. I want to water cool my setup but the 590 doesn’t have any water blocks that I trust. So I was thinking about upgrading my GPU to a Vega and maybe running crossfire so then I can water oil my CPU and GPU with the EKFluid gaming a240g. Would it be worth it?
I also have a 570 in a back room that I could use to crossfire if the day it is too big
If you're upgrading just to water cool and don't need the extra performance, no
I guess everyone could use more performance. That’s where I’m at rn.
What kind of CPU do you have? Your GPU could be held back by it if the CPU isn't fast enough
Ryzen 7 2700X
Oh, you should just get a 5700XT or something way better then
I have that CPU with a 2070 Super
Maybe. It’s not compatible with the Watercooling kit I’m looking at but maybe I can look around and find another
Is the 5700 XT better than the Vega
Yes
Ok
Also newer
I mean I’m looking at game-debate rn and it’s definitely close but it says the Vega is a little better but not 90 dollars better. Thanks for the advice
I’ll go with the 5700
👍
^
unless you like pain and suffering that is. If that is your jam, then by all means, crossfire all the things :)
Oof sounds like you have had some experience. What happened. Is it really that bad?? XD
its just the reality of crossfire/sli in regular game use
the only place where crossfire/sli makes any sense, is in "silly amounts of money vs logical sense" builds
and even there i would strongly suggest not going that way
To be fair, there are use cases for multi GPU. They just don't overlap with the use cases of gaming or the powers of an rx 590
So a lot of the reason I wanted crossfire was because I have a 144Hz monitor but 2 60hz monitors that a company was about to throw away. So now my refresh rate is like 59 Hz and I want to get the smoothness at least a little back
Yeah, you can run each monitor at different speeds
Oh I read that the refresh rate is default to your lowest refresh rate
Depending on your monitor
Ah
Or if you have windows 3.1.1
as i mentioned, it is an option in the driver control panel
Hm. Oh hey Naed lol I didn’t realize it was you. You helped me with my file management a few months ago lol. I was the one who had like 3 instances of steam running and had to change the drive my OS was on
But that’s awesome! I can finally play on 144
Yeet
So I’m at my computer. Where is the setting for it?
@spice prawn @wary anvil
No clue. I'm using nvidia with Linux
@stuck siren the display section of the radeon control panel
Mmmm
its the per monitor settings @stuck siren
you might have to go at it from the regular windows options window thou
Hm let me install this driver and I'll research a little
Got it!! Looks great thanks!
np
Hey guys I'm doing a ryzen 7 3800x build with 32 gb and I was wondering if an AMD Radeon Pro W5500 8 GB is a good idea. I wasn't sure if it was more of a editing card or a gaming card but this will be a computer running games like the new forza and gta is it good for me?
I don't even know what that card is lol
Oh wait
ya, I wouldnt get that
Get a 5700xt or smth
that was my other idea
W5500 seems to be pretty garbage at gaming, def only get it for workstation stuff
So yeah go 5700xt
Lmaoo
isn’t that just a 5500xt designed for workstation
is there much difference between between rtx 2060 super vs rtx 2070 super?
well i get that but how much performance are we talking?
sorry btw im kinda new to pcs
Look up benchmark vids on yt for the specific games your trying to play and you'll see
For example: gta v 2060s vs 2070s
thanks, i didnt think of that
Np, its helpful
Is Gigabyte GeForce 1660 Super OC 6GB good for begging pc ?
can you guys recommend me some gpus that can handle CoD, around 0-$150, thank u
3090superti still outta stock?
What GPU for a $1000 build?
i got a 1050ti overclocked and i get 100+ frames on mw
what settings
idk i just turned fan speed up and made made sure no game crashed
dont matter bout the frames if the game doesnt look good lmao
3840x2160 render rez, 1920x1080 and textures on med and rest on low or med
doesnt even look bad
5700xt gang today
@sour lintel yes
Is the rtx 2060s a good card ?
Why when i switched from a 2060 Super to a 2070 Super did my COD FPS go from 155 to 100
no clue lmao
lol
well r u playing w the same settings?
i've tried the same and i've tried changing them, nothing works
what resolution?
is ray tracing ok in 1440p or better in 4k??
Should I get a rx 5600xt, rx 5700, or a 2060 ko?
@short vapor what are you doing and what is your bufget?
My budget is around 900 and I'm probably gonna use it for school and gaming
any news on nvidia rtx 3000 series release date? i have a pc built with no gpu hoping to get the 3080ti or whatever theyre calling it
Soon
no official launch date, but rumors are claiming september, but that's it
@short vapor the 2060ko is on sale at evga for $280
Oh nice
Is the 2060ko a decent card?
It depends on what you use it for
For gaming, it's just a 2060
For productivity, it's very nice
I was gonna get the rx 5600xt but if I buy the 2060ko from Newegg I get rainbow six siege gold edition
You get that for the 2070 too, don't you?
all the rtx cards come with siege rn
siege is a great game
Yeah, they just have some issues they need to fix
there will always be issues but its an intuitive game so it kinda just plays into the whole “deal with it” aspect
Overwatch better 
overwatch is good but i'd rather play siege
but i'd rather something like no mans sky over anything like that
Osu
never tried it
Omg yessss
Hm I just panic bought an RTX 2070 super for $500 because I was watching refresh by refresh other RTX 2070s go out of stock immediately after reading an article confirming the fact that Nvidia is discontinuing the rtx 20 series... was this a good idea? I was planning on buying it later or shopping around for some different same class GPUs but then I read that article and got freaked
The 2070 super will still be available for quite some time
There's a rumor that the chip fabs have stopped producing new dies, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to buy one anymore
Hm
Perhaps that wasnt the smartest move but that's the most expensive part and frankly if I return it I dont think I'll be able to muster up the cahones to buy something for 500 bucks again.
I found out today MSI gpus are actually good.
lmao not really
i mean
shittier cooling and lower clocks but
each to their own i guess

found a gtx 970 in my closet
I just bough an RTX 2060 a few weeks ago, it’s still unopened in its box, and I was wondering if I should sell it on eBay for around $280, I got mine for around $290 so I’d lose $10, but it might be worth it when next gen GPUs launch. What do you guys think?
Why not just return it @timid wind
can any help me with a question about updating my bios on a gigabyte 5600xt?
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Too many infractions

bye
@timid wind it sells for more than 290 retail doesnt it??
@hollow zephyr My return period is up
@alpine geyser I got mine on sale, and it had a $20 rebate
@timid wind that’s really good tho, price high and see if it sells unless you need the money right now though. Never hurts
@alpine geyser Ok, would you recommend selling and waiting for new GPUs over just keeping it?
I'm just waiting for the RTX 3080 TI or 3090 whichever is better for gaming big upgrade for me since i got the 1070
As far as we know that won’t happen for another 2 years
Also a 2080 super is a massive upgrade from a 1070 you can do now
@open spade i think you are either misinformed or misreading.
I don’t remember hearing any new for a 3080 series
this year
Is there an article you can source or is that just an assumption?
all the forums that deal with tech have been blabbering about it since the start of the year
and i'm pretty sure the new amd gpus are launching in the new consoles this year
either that or before
also, there is very little chance that Nvidia would let AMD launch their next gen without "something" from them.
because nvidia are (on the desktop side of things) in the stronger position as things stand right now.
The new consoles do not have any next gen graphics cards
Dwella said that
@fervent obsidian both.
Xbox has their own custom integrated gpu
@open spade we have known, for a LONG time that the upcoming consoles will ship with next gen amd gpu's
