i do like the look on it

rigid crag
#

Founders edition isn't really special

tame iris
#

oh

rigid crag
#

Its just avegage

tame iris
#

ok

#

which one do you recommend then

rigid crag
#

Fe cards tend to be the cheapest actually

tame iris
#

wow

#

thought it would be better

rigid crag
#

Don't get me wrong, its still a good card.

tame iris
#

gotcha

granite juniper
#

fe cards are the ones nvidia makes theyre decent at a decent price

tame iris
#

so should i get evga or is there others that are better

rigid crag
#

I like evga and then gigabyte

tame iris
#

ok

#

thanks for the help

rigid crag
#

Sure

sullen nest
#

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

tame iris
#

yea im curious too lol

#

bc i see they have different prices

rigid crag
#

Different coolers and some have slightly higher core clocks

tame iris
#

oh

rigid crag
#

There's brand loyalty too ig

tame iris
#

oh

#

EVGA/Gigabyte is best on the cheap side usually. But is a bit eh sometimes when it comes to high the end

paper phoenix
#

My top 3 brands I’m loyal too is Gigabyte, MSI, and Corsair

#

Not for just Gpus but everything

wicked hound
#

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

rich wraith
#

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.

wicked hound
#

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

mellow kiln
#

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 :/

jovial ferry
#

It has bugs but is the best I have used. I don't know why people complain about the interface, it's great

rich wraith
#

That’s respectable. Disses msi but has an msi board

magic pebble
#

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.

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?

trim crown
#

Wish me luck using the gigabyte rx5700xt, just bought it and feeling worried...

magic pebble
#

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.

rigid crag
#

Scroll wheel on g502 is soooo fun

#

is 85 degrees okay to have while playing a game? it goes to 85 max never goes higher.

marble moth
#

i dont like it going higher than 70

#

i set the limit to 65 but overwatch specifically will push past it

granite juniper
#

ya 85 is kinda high but not damaging if u mean 85c, i'd increase the fan speed

safe flower
#

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

sullen nest
#

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?

bitter jungle
#

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

sullen nest
#

o ok

#

i figured this out earlier when i also figured out my ram sticks were in wrong... they were side by side

safe flower
#

2 and 4 slots

sullen nest
#

yea thats what theyre in now

#

i fixed it

#

im so stupid theyve been like that for probably 2 years now

safe flower
#

lol, i did it on my first build

#

not 2 years though

sullen nest
#

.... the bad thing is this is a pre built

safe flower
#

😆

atomic jewel
sullen nest
#

welp... thanks

#

ive got a lot to learn

safe flower
#

my advise is if it works dont mess

wary anvil
#

If it ain't broke, it don't have enough features yet
-Intel, 2019

sullen nest
#

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

acoustic ginkgo
#

Did somebody link you the Verge video as a mean joke?

sullen nest
#

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

merry rune
#

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

sullen nest
#

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

acoustic ginkgo
#

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.

sullen nest
#

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?

merry rune
#

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.

sullen nest
#

ah

#

thanks 🙂

lone pond
#

In the verge video the IO shield is referred to as the “bracket” 💀

desert nest
#

How good is a 5600xt with vr?

kind wigeon
#

@desert nest it's decent....

lone pond
#

@desert nest it can run it well

kind wigeon
#

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

rigid crag
#

So does a 2080ti 😏

fiery horizon
#

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

arctic phoenix
#

2060 super is similar to the 2070 in price soo

#

no need to downgrade if u can

soft kayak
#

Is there like a large gaping difference between the 2070s and the 2080s

bitter jungle
#

not too large, but there's a difference

soft kayak
#

Thank you sir

bitter jungle
#

👌

safe flower
#

only notice the difference between the 2 when you run a game like tomb raider

muted vortex
#

Looking for a 2070 super ....ryzen 7 3700x x570 mobo 32g ram

#

Trying to stay around $499-550

lone pond
#

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?

rigid crag
#

2080ti is the best you can get so.... yes

buoyant stone
#

Keep in mind though new graphics card should be released soon

#

@muted vortex you want all those part for $499-550?

muted vortex
#

No for gpu only

buoyant stone
#

Ahh okay

safe flower
#

I like the sound of a rtx 2080 ti

static zinc
#

FE 2070s is $499

#

bestbuy restocks every 2 weeks iirc

#

theres also that one

ripe elk
#

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

acoustic ginkgo
#

I plan to get a 2060 Super. That's as much as I can justify spending on a GPU.

arctic phoenix
#

2070 same price :))

lone pond
#

Is there an advantage to water cooling a gpu?

bitter jungle
#

better cooling sometimes

#

Better looks for some people

lone pond
#

Ok and where is a good place to look for a backplate for my gpu?

granite juniper
#

better temps, noice, looks, and slightly better performance

harsh thistle
#

Is the MSI GeForce RTX 2070 ARMOR good I’m deciding between this and the Gigabyte Windforce 2x version

lone pond
granite juniper
#

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

lone pond
#

Oh ok

foggy nymph
#

Is it normal for one gpu fan to spin stop then the next one spins?

meager warren
#

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

half goblet
#

this is a good 1660s

#

also good

#

but more

#

but i wouldnt reley on just me wait for someone else to reply

idle crow
#

evga is a good brand

rich oasis
#

@meager warren I would wait for next gen

slim talon
#

just private dm me if you have something, i dont check this server often

rigid crag
#

Not if your not in this server silly 😉

wicked hound
#

watercooling a 2060 is eh. Just sell it and spend the watercooling budget + GPU cash for a better GPU

wicked shard
#

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

jovial ferry
#

If you can wait, I would. Could come out in a month or in three

wicked shard
#

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?

It's msi 1650 super 4gb gddr6

#

I just need something until then since my cpu doesn't have graphics with it.

compact vortex
#

I need help on info on a graphics card can someone help me please?

lone pond
#

@compact vortex what is it

compact vortex
#

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?

bitter jungle
#

How long have you had it

#

The 1060

compact vortex
#

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

bitter jungle
#

1650 super is going to be about the same I think

#

1650 non super will be worse

compact vortex
#

The 1650 doesn’t say super just it has directx 12 4gb and OC

bitter jungle
#

Then it’s gonna be worse

compact vortex
#

It on the newegg eBay listing

bitter jungle
#

1650 non super doesn’t have the greatest value unless you’re throwing it in a pre-built

compact vortex
#

Right now if I run my card fans on auto the temp goes up to 160F

bitter jungle
#

0.0

#

Wait. 160F?

#

That’s 71C

compact vortex
#

With me controlling the fans it comes down to 140 range

bitter jungle
#

Don’t measure in F

#

Measure in C

#

Anything under 85 degrees Celsius is totally fine

compact vortex
#

I’m not good in measuring in C

bitter jungle
#

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

compact vortex
#

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

bitter jungle
#

👌

compact vortex
#

Have a great day Yam and thanks again for saving my butt

#

Goodbye sir

#

Lol yw you too

#

what GPU should i get for a $850 us build for gaming ThinkingEgg

fervent obsidian
#

1660 super/2060/ rx 5600xt are 3 i think you can fit in that range

polar bronze
#

I think he means 850 for the whole rig

half goblet
#

ohhhhhhh

#

my bad

#

i thought he meant 850 for gpu

polar bronze
#

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?

sick timber
#

@waxen birch well what is the setup looking like rn?

#

like the build itself

safe flower
#

lol,the fps goes up

#

with rtx on

#

@torn echo jump to i7 4770k ,that will run a 1080 ti just fine

arctic phoenix
#

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

bitter jungle
#

Lol. Best thing I’d pair a 3770K with is a 1070. It’ll almost definitely bottleneck hard with a 1080 ti @torn echo

safe flower
#

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

daring bolt
torn echo
#

@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?

sage sigil
#

Probably the rx 580 8gb

#

@tacit citrus

#

Its the most powerful

tacit citrus
#

thanks

slim talon
#

@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

polar bronze
#

Amd 7nm is not the same as intel 7nm

slim talon
#

still

#

its still kinda funny tbh

polar bronze
#

Actually 10nm is closer to tsmcs 5nm than 7nm

slim talon
#

really?

polar bronze
#

Yeah

slim talon
#

well its kinda not very funny now

#

lol

granite juniper
#

the problem is even rn intels yield rate for 10nm is super low at like 50% iirc

narrow lion
#

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

wicked hound
#

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

runic trail
#

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

#

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)

cerulean rover
#

It's not normal that's all I could tell you @runic trail

#

@little socket 1650s wins in games in 1080p

royal root
#

it lags somtimes

cerulean rover
#

And cuda is much better for machine learning software

royal root
#

in heavy games

#

i have a 1650

cerulean rover
#

1650 super.

little socket
#

Alright, should the 4gb be a concern? I so plan on upgraded maybe q1 2021 when new stuff comes out

royal root
#

oh

cerulean rover
#

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

royal root
#

what is the 1660 TI eqaulivent in raedon

little socket
#

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.

cerulean rover
#

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

little socket
#

Yeah, i mean anything is better than nothing, and i dont plan to play too many brand new aaa games

wicked hound
#

5600xt beats to 1660Ti by a fair bit

#

dont think there is a Radeon competitor to 1660Ti. Maybe Fury X or smth

lone pond
#

What gpu do you recommend for a i5 9600k

swift copper
#

@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

sudden dove
#

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.

bitter jungle
#

@sudden dove how long have you owned this GPU? Also, what software are you using to set a fan curve?

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

lone pond
#

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

wicked hound
#

Don't go i7 ideally. AMD is much better at workstation tasks, esp in laptops

merry remnant
#

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

lone pond
#

Oh a grad program

#

I say get the 2070 then upgrade later in the year maybe next year

merry remnant
#

for what I'm spending I would be willing to go the extra if the T2000 offered significant advantages though

#

ah

lone pond
#

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

merry remnant
#

ok, I'll look for that. you think id regret not going for the quadro sooner when I upgrade?

lone pond
#

hmm hard to tell

#

you should run a benchmark

#

i personally dont know how much better it is

merry remnant
#

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

do you have to go to the bios, to "activate" your gpu and cpu?

#

both monitors do the same when unplugged in windows

#

the gpu starts to make loud noise

#

850 g3 evga

bitter jungle
#

The monitors make a noise when they’re unplugged?

lone pond
#

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

bitter jungle
#

Try clearing your motherboard’s CMOS

shut rampart
#

Uhh will a 600W psu be able to handle the new Ampere cards?

#

Have heard they’ll draw upwards of 300W

hollow zephyr
#

Possibly

buoyant stone
#

Possibly... there are a lot of unknowns

#

All rumors for now

bitter jungle
#

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

hollow zephyr
#

Well they are gonna have the new 12 pin connections

#

So current psus might not even work

granite juniper
#

afaik you can just buy an adapter and they should work

shut rampart
#

And yeah you can just buy an adapter

proper dragon
#

What cpu and gpu budget to play r6

hollow zephyr
#

$300

#

@proper dragon

proper dragon
#

300 for what

hollow zephyr
#

You can play that game on integrated graphics

#

Prolly less than $150

proper dragon
#

$220 for both

hollow zephyr
#

That's your budget?

proper dragon
#

No for gpu and cpu

hollow zephyr
#

Ya

#

Ur budget

#

For both

proper dragon
#

Yeah

hollow zephyr
#

Ok

#

What do you have rn

proper dragon
#

Nothing

hollow zephyr
#

Oh

#

You want brand new parts?

#

And when do you want them

proper dragon
#

New and not for a couple of weeks

hollow zephyr
#

Oh

#

Ok

#

What about refurbished? @proper dragon

proper dragon
#

Um maybe

hollow zephyr
#

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

proper dragon
#

Is refurbished good

jovial ferry
#

Depends on what your buying and who fixed it

proper dragon
#

Is a one fan 1650 super good

haughty laurel
#

what games are u trying to run?

proper dragon
#

R6

#

What's a good 170 dollar gpu

hollow zephyr
#

Well you only got $220 bruh

#

Idk if you wanna stretch that into like $50 cpu

proper dragon
#

No I decided to get the 1650 super and a i3 9100f

hollow zephyr
#

W

proper dragon
#

Cause I want to play r6 good

warm crater
#

Same

wary anvil
#

@proper dragon Would recommend an rx 580 and whatever AMD cpu fits

proper dragon
#

Ok is the 1650 super good for r6

wary anvil
#

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

hollow zephyr
#

^^^

#

He's just getting the cheapest

#

I said refurbed 580 and 3100

#

For $20 more

haughty laurel
#

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 ;-;

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?

torn echo
#

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 😦

lone pond
#

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?

umbral ivy
#

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

lone pond
#

Ok thank you!

umbral ivy
#

anytime @lone pond Nice

humble niche
#

5700 xt or 2070

lone pond
#

What’s the best version of the 2080 ti for around $1,200. ( I don’t know the differences between different companies)

umbral ivy
#

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

lone pond
#

K

#

But like in general , what’s the best company

umbral ivy
#

Evga they have the best customer service & rma

olive ermine
#

Question, are the 1660 Nvidia cards good, cause I saw someone say they aren’t really good and now I’m worried.

umbral ivy
#

the super variants or Ti are going to be worth your while, amd's 5600xt or 5700 would be good alternatives if not better,

hushed stirrup
#

I prefer Zotac's 5 year warranty tho unless I plan to change my gpu within 3 years time.

bitter jungle
#

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

granite juniper
#

yeah 1650 super and 1660 super are the only good 16xx cards really rn

bitter jungle
#

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

granite juniper
#

yea i'd only buy it if u dont have psu cables, just the pcie slot to use

rocky void
#

Can I ask something I’ve been looking at graphics cards and was wondering which of these two should I get

umbral ivy
#

2070 will provide you with a slight increase in performance compared to the 2060 (S) just shy of 2% increase

rocky void
#

Ahh I was wondering because they were both the same price so I wasn’t sure what to go with

umbral ivy
#

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

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

hollow zephyr

Hmmm

hollow zephyr

Why lmao @upper mural

lone pond
#

Does the 1660 super support 1440p or only 1080p?

granite juniper
#

both

lone pond
#

Oh nice

#

And how many hz would be good for a monitor? 120hz?

granite juniper
#

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

lone pond
#

Ok thanks

#

what brand of gpus should i look for with a amd ryzen

wary anvil
#

Any

#

There are good ones and bad ones, but they don't really care whether it's amd or intel

lone pond
#

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

upper mural
#

@hollow zephyr simple. The 2070 super has better performance, and none of the finicky behavior

granite juniper
#

you can run nvidia cards on freesync monitors, gsync is better but usually a decent amount more

lone pond
#

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

hollow zephyr
#

@upper mural ya cause it costs like $100 more ROFLEgg

upper mural
#

That’s the reason I have a 5700xt. But my experience thus far tells me I should have just spent the extra 70$

hollow zephyr
#

You updated the drivers??

upper mural
#

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

Looking for a 2070 super have around $500-580 to spend any Recommendations

Preferably the gigabyte one tho

I’m fond of the FE version.

The way it looks that is

Ooh that’s must be worth something decent

worth nothing unless your name is dovahkiin

quasi flicker
#

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?

limpid latch
#

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

quasi flicker
#

I have a Gigabyte Windoforce OC 3X 2070 Super

?

limpid latch
#

some gpus coil wine, definitely way more at obsurdly high fps

quasi flicker
#

Only at 144 fps

limpid latch
#

id warranty it or exchange then

quasi flicker
#

It's not loud but I think I just never noticed it before

limpid latch
#

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

polar bronze
#

I will never get an amd cared due to my workflow

quasi flicker
#

It seems like people fixed it by lowering the power levels

#

Or raising it a bit in some cases

limpid latch
#

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

quasi flicker
#

Okay

#

I couldnt hear it until I turned my PC a bit

limpid latch
#

idk such low fps id just warranty it how old is it?

quasi flicker
#

About 5 months

#

But I think I just never noticed it otherwise

#

I'll try turning it back tmr and see what happens

limpid latch
#

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...

quasi flicker
#

It doesn't make any sound while it's sitting there

#

Wdym?

limpid latch
#

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

quasi flicker
#

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

limpid latch

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

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.

bitter jungle
#

@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

worldly pier
#

Hey daddy

onyx dust
#

@bitter jungle Thanks, I'll return with the specs in a couple days. Any particular info I should collect towards this?

bitter jungle
#

@onyx dust probably CPU model, amount of RAM, and PSU make and model

hushed stirrup
#

I am still using 970 and it is still performing well for many games. Only the latest game will need medium setting.

spice prawn
#

@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.

bitter jungle
#

NAED YOURE BACK!

spice prawn
#

aye, more or less @bitter jungle

bitter jungle
#

We missed you over here my man

#

Glad you’re at least “more or less” back love_it

spice prawn
bitter jungle

Oh dang

#

Well I’m pretty glad to see you again

spice prawn

likewise

#

but yeah, still playing catch-up with everything else in my life :)

onyx dust
#

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

Thank you!

bitter jungle
#

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?

wicked hound
#

I'd go GPU first. But extra RAM shouldnt be too much

onyx dust
#

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?

spice prawn
#

@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.

quasi flicker
#

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

spice prawn
#

@quasi flicker most likely because that uncaps the framerate

quasi flicker
#

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

spice prawn
#

it should not be related, unless you somehow damaged your GPU while you installed the CPU cooler.

quasi flicker
#

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

spice prawn
#

Breathe mate

quasi flicker
#

Not anywhere close to as loud but it's still there

#

Okay lol

spice prawn
#

we cannot answer 10 questions at once :)

quasi flicker
#

Good point xD

spice prawn
#

well, we can, but confusion is normally the result :)

quasi flicker
#

Okay

spice prawn
#

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?

quasi flicker
#

Yes because it didn't fit and had too many mobo connections

spice prawn
#

okay. Generally, a CPU cooler change, will NOT impact what the GPU cooler does

quasi flicker
#

So I used stock until my current one came and installed the new one when it got here

spice prawn
#

so, the reason for the "whine" is (most likely) somewhere else

quasi flicker
#

Any clue why it only started after I tried the first one?

spice prawn
#

was there a minecraft update in between ?

quasi flicker
#

No

#

I'm using an older version anyway but this has never happened before

spice prawn
#

gpu driver update?

quasi flicker
#

No update I don't think

#

I could try a reinstall later though

spice prawn
#

"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.

quasi flicker
#

Btw I still have warranty just incase

spice prawn
#

@quasi flicker keep in mind, i have basically no idea about minecraft (i have never played it), but is there a vsync option?

quasi flicker
#

Yes

spice prawn
#

you got that enabled?

quasi flicker
#

No

spice prawn
#

try and enable that (keep in mind, you might have to restart the game for it to take effect)

quasi flicker
#

I normally cap it at 145 though because Minecraft VSync is wonky

spice prawn
#

you on a 144 panel?

quasi flicker
#

Yes, Minecraft only goes by intergers of 5 though

spice prawn
#

aye aye

#

normally/generally. When GPU load goes crazy (its because the framerate is going bonkers OR because a shader is running berserk somewhere)

quasi flicker
#

But I've done the exact thing at some point and nothing happened except for the fans speeding up a bit

spice prawn
#

(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)

quasi flicker
#

lol

spice prawn
#

that was a simple shader that had been uncapped. Just a random typo really

quasi flicker
#

I'll get a recording of the sound when I get home

spice prawn
#

no rush

#

how old is the GPU?

quasi flicker
#

About 5 months

spice prawn
#

very dusty room?

quasi flicker
#

Also, in the queue for the server you're in an empty thing of black and dark purple

#

No

spice prawn
#

"empty thing of black and dark purple" <- that you can "see" anything, means it is not technically empty :)

quasi flicker
#

It is

#

I can actually see everything with the clients I have

spice prawn
#

"that anything is showing on your screen" = not empty from a GPU POV

quasi flicker
#

It's just an empty version of the end dimension

#

No, if anything is rendered I can see it with the client

spice prawn
#

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

quasi flicker
#

Only the skybox and my half transparent head is what I can see

#

Okay so in Minecraft terms I should say JoyEgg

#

Nothing is being rendered other than my head's and the skybox

spice prawn
#

correct :)

quasi flicker
#

Sorry lol

spice prawn
#

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

quasi flicker
#

Normally it's fine just in F1 it sounds like a car sliding

wicked hound
#

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

quasi flicker
#

I'm using Impact Hei

#

And it's 2b2t lobby in an empty end dimension world

wicked hound
#

so FPS is capped and nothing is being loaded?

quasi flicker
#

No it's uncapped but it was normally anyway and I would get about 300 FPS without the, GPU go brrrr, part.

spice prawn
#

again, that depends on what is actually happening

#

see the Warframe example earlier

quasi flicker
#

Also when I exit F1 it goes to over 1.5k FPS

#

It shows*

wicked hound
#

basically, when coil whine can happen

quasi flicker
#

It also happens in Fortnite but not as horrible

#

And a little in Subnautica

rigid crag
#

Glad to see you again Naed :)

wicked hound
#

Which PSU you have?

#

could be both

quasi flicker
#

Corsair CXM 650W 80+ Bronze Semi-modular

wicked hound
#

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

spice prawn
#

likewise @rigid crag

quasi flicker
#

It never happened before I tried to replace my cooler tho

spice prawn
#

see what i said earlier about that :)

quasi flicker
#

Could laying my PC down on the side so I could access my CPU better have caused that?

spice prawn
#

normally no

#

but this is the "joy" of pc building. Anything can happen.

spice prawn
#

the trick is figuring out IF anything has happended.

quasi flicker
#

Btw it was that loud with my case closed

#

Also, I have a Gigabyte 2070 Super WindForce OC 3X

wicked hound
#

small changes can trigger large effects

quasi flicker
#

Thanks auto-correct, WindoForce cards 260% exist

wicked hound
#

but yeah, coil whine is one of the worst consumer PC noises

#

apart from maybe some pop/bang of a component blowing up

quasi flicker
#

Last time I tried to record what is sounded like my phone couldn't get it but it was quiter then

wicked hound
#

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

quasi flicker
#

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)_/¯

spice prawn
#

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

quasi flicker
#

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

wicked hound
#

yeah, generally high FPS causes coil whine

#

for basically most GPUs

quasi flicker
#

It still does it at 144 FPS on Fortnite with all settings but shadows maxed, any ideas?

wicked hound
#

listen closely to it, is it PSU or GPU for FN?

quasi flicker
#

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

wicked hound
#

wont kill it, but anytime it's running at high FPS like that 1.5k it'll coil whine

quasi flicker
#

Only about 50% utilization too

#

My CPU was 51°C because I also have two Discord bots, a Minecraft server, and ngrok running

wicked hound
#

what is this, MC?

quasi flicker
#

yeah Minecraft

#

In 2b2t queue -_-

wicked hound
#

well MC doesnt use GPU much so dont expect 100% usage unless shaders in a more packed place

quasi flicker
#

So it's an empty end Dimension world

wicked hound
#

either way, capping to 145 should help a lot in terms of fixing it

quasi flicker
#

VSync seems to not be as buggy in 1.12.2 so that's a +

formal kayak
#

Anyone here know how the 1660 super is for VR

wary anvil
#

It's doable, but rough

hollow zephyr
#

@formal kayak it's not great

formal kayak
#

Any card you recommend instead that isnt super expensive

wary anvil
#

Can you fit a 2060 super?

formal kayak
#

Yes, how much is it usually?

wary anvil
#

Around 300-320

hollow zephyr
#

??

wary anvil
#

Wait crap

hollow zephyr
#

I thought those were $400

#

Ya Lmao

wary anvil
#

That's for the 2060 non super

hollow zephyr
#

I was about to say

#

Get the 2060ko

#

If you can find it for $3""

wary anvil
#

Sorry, checked the wrong box...

hollow zephyr
#

*$300

#

Lmaoo

wary anvil
#

2060 ko, agreed

#

Is this for a new build or an existing build?

formal kayak
#

New

hollow zephyr
#

Ooo

wary anvil
#

Do you have a pcpartpicker list? We might be able to shave enough off from other places to get a better card

hollow zephyr
#

Ya

#

Or if you wanna wait for the new card

wary anvil
#

^

formal kayak
#

I do, but cant access it rn, i can post it here later or dm you later when i can

hollow zephyr
#

Post it here Lmao

#

I wanna get xp

formal kayak
#

Oke

wary anvil
#

You won't be able to post a link for a bit, so dm might work better

#

What are the basic specs?

wicked hound
#

just remove the https:// part

#

then you can post "links"

formal kayak
#

16 gb ram, forgot the cpu

wary anvil
#

3600?

formal kayak
#

Perhaps, i have a bad memory, sorry

wary anvil
#

It's fine

#

Just drop us the link when you get the chance

formal kayak
#

Aight

#

Should i @ you wen i post it?

wary anvil
#

Sure

grizzled nimbus
cyan swift
#

is a 2060 good?

#

paired with a 3600

willow hemlock
#

yes

#

@cyan swift

grizzled nimbus
#

So I think I should go with the 470 because my little i5 will bottle neck the 570 too much

quasi flicker
#

@cyan swift If you're going to get a 3rd gen Ryzen at least get the 2060 Super

stuck siren
#

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

quasi flicker
#

If you're upgrading just to water cool and don't need the extra performance, no

stuck siren
#

I guess everyone could use more performance. That’s where I’m at rn.

quasi flicker
#

What kind of CPU do you have? Your GPU could be held back by it if the CPU isn't fast enough

stuck siren
#

Ryzen 7 2700X

quasi flicker
#

Oh, you should just get a 5700XT or something way better then

#

I have that CPU with a 2070 Super

stuck siren
#

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

quasi flicker
#

Yes

stuck siren
#

Ok

quasi flicker
#

Also newer

stuck siren
#

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

quasi flicker
#

👍

spice prawn
#

please dont go crossfire

wary anvil
#

^

spice prawn
#

unless you like pain and suffering that is. If that is your jam, then by all means, crossfire all the things :)

stuck siren
#

Oof sounds like you have had some experience. What happened. Is it really that bad?? XD

spice prawn
#

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

wary anvil
#

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

stuck siren
#

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

spice prawn
#

that is a setting in your control panel for the GPU

#

not a question of crossfire

wary anvil
#

Yeah, you can run each monitor at different speeds

stuck siren
#

Oh I read that the refresh rate is default to your lowest refresh rate

#

Depending on your monitor

spice prawn
#

nope

#

that is only IF you go with a locked scaler

stuck siren
#

Ah

wary anvil
#

Or if you have windows 3.1.1

spice prawn
#

as i mentioned, it is an option in the driver control panel

stuck siren
#

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

spice prawn
#

aye

#

i remember :)

stuck siren
#

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

wary anvil
#

No clue. I'm using nvidia with Linux

spice prawn
#

@stuck siren the display section of the radeon control panel

stuck siren
#

Oh is this in Relive? @spice prawn

#

I have freeSync On.

cosmic frigate
#

Mmmm

spice prawn
#

its the per monitor settings @stuck siren

#

you might have to go at it from the regular windows options window thou

stuck siren
#

Hm let me install this driver and I'll research a little

stuck siren
#

Got it!! Looks great thanks!

spice prawn

solar flicker

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?

rigid crag
#

I don't even know what that card is lol

#

Oh wait

#

ya, I wouldnt get that

#

Get a 5700xt or smth

solar flicker
#

that was my other idea

wicked hound
#

W5500 seems to be pretty garbage at gaming, def only get it for workstation stuff

#

So yeah go 5700xt

hollow zephyr
#

Lmaoo

granite juniper
#

isn’t that just a 5500xt designed for workstation

hollow zephyr
#

o clue

#

no

noble thistle
#

is there much difference between between rtx 2060 super vs rtx 2070 super?

rigid crag
#

Well, ya

#

About 100 bucks worth of performance

noble thistle
#

well i get that but how much performance are we talking?

#

sorry btw im kinda new to pcs

rigid crag
#

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

noble thistle
#

thanks, i didnt think of that

rigid crag
#

Np, its helpful

what you trying to do on it?

i've tried the same and i've tried changing them, nothing works

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

wary anvil

Soon

merry rune

no official launch date, but rumors are claiming september, but that's it

hollow zephyr
#

@short vapor the 2060ko is on sale at evga for $280

wary anvil
#

Oh nice

short vapor
#

Ooo

#

Nice

acoustic ginkgo
#

Is the 2060ko a decent card?

wary anvil
#

It depends on what you use it for

#

For gaming, it's just a 2060

#

For productivity, it's very nice

short vapor
#

I was gonna get the rx 5600xt but if I buy the 2060ko from Newegg I get rainbow six siege gold edition

wary anvil
#

You get that for the 2070 too, don't you?

dawn cedar
#

all the rtx cards come with siege rn

wary anvil
#

Yeah siege

#

I too would like a broken game that will probably go FTP soon anyway!

dawn cedar
#

siege is a great game

wary anvil
#

Yeah, they just have some issues they need to fix

dawn cedar
#

there will always be issues but its an intuitive game so it kinda just plays into the whole “deal with it” aspect

#

Overwatch better NYEHE

fervent obsidian

overwatch is good but i'd rather play siege

#

but i'd rather something like no mans sky over anything like that

royal copper

never tried it

wary anvil
#

There are other reasons to do it though

#

I help manage a machine with eight GPUs

tidal parrot
#

Omg yessss

turbid peak
#

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

wary anvil
#

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

turbid peak
#

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.

hollow zephyr
#

Should've waited for the next gen imo

#

Right around the corner

I found out today MSI gpus are actually good.

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?

@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

open spade
#

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

spice prawn
#

@open spade i think you are either misinformed or misreading.

open spade
#

I don’t remember hearing any new for a 3080 series

spice prawn
#

this year

open spade
#

Is there an article you can source or is that just an assumption?

spice prawn
#

all the forums that deal with tech have been blabbering about it since the start of the year

fervent obsidian
#

and i'm pretty sure the new amd gpus are launching in the new consoles this year

#

either that or before

spice prawn
#

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.

open spade
#

The new consoles do not have any next gen graphics cards

spice prawn
#

Excuse me?

#

i dont know where you are reading your news, but that is just false.

#

@fervent obsidian both.
