rn im banking on 3070 bcuz cheaper and i dont REALLY need the extra frames (tho is still WANT the preformance REAALY BAD) . also it has dlss and ray tracing and better compat (one of my previously mentinoned worries: what if an app needs to use nvidia only stuff like cuda). also it means i can have an easier time getting my last part: a psu (i will have 144 instead of 65)

Is there any idea on when the 3000 cards will just be available to buy, like in a month or two will I be able to just go online and get one?

no one knows

i remember that someone posted a link to like a spreadsheet of the evga waitlist and who is up next. does anyone have that list?

I don't mind waiting until January, gives me time to save up. Starting from scratch on a Ryzen 5000/RTX 3000 build is going to be expensive

@frozen seal wait im in canada can you tell me more
frozen seal
yea, im gonna order mine soon since im building in late nov
if you go into the store, im pretty sure you can pre-order a 3070 and get it when they arrive
not completely sure, as i havnt dont it yet

The 3000 series doesn't have SLI does it?

Sli 🗑

Oh wait I'm dumb
spice prawn
@proper crest would not matter if it does or not. SLI will be dead come january 2021. Nvidia stops support for profiles at that point
vivid bloom
fathom bear
SLI is useless
main rapids
Right, SLI doesn't exist on the 3070/3080, there is some software version of it, but don't fully understand how that works and sure your performance will vary depending upon your motherboard...

I need a good GPU under $500 any Suggestions. Preferably Nvidia
brisk flame
do you really need NVENC or CUDA specifically?
if not, then brand is irrelevant
5700xt is a little under 400 rn
anything else is gonna be 500+
unless you can find a good deal on a used 2070 super or up
hard wren
that 5600xt we saw for $269 earlier
brisk flame
that too
hard wren
that way you can save the excess for your next gpu upgrade 😉
lone pond
But doesn't AMD have driver issues i dont want to deal with that
brisk flame
old news
hard wren
if you really want Nvidia I would strongly suggest waiting a few months prices are going to drop on previous and current gen
brisk flame
not a thing anymore
lucid karma
Ngl if I was building a low budget pc the 5700xt would definitely be my choice
brisk flame
for "low budget" the obv choice would be the 1660 super
lone pond
What is the 5700xt compared to?
hard wren
I would just feel bad recommending something that is going to be $200 cheaper in like 3 months
hard wren
yes
lone pond
Ok thanks for the help
brisk flame
np
hard wren
ebay is selling $400-500 2080ti's so there is that
untold sphinx
dang
hard wren
well yeah thats because we posted it on here I almost pulled the trigger even though I have 2 (not kingpins)
hard wren
no me and wife need them lol
not sure if kingpin was the best or not
I think the rog strx was better
lucid karma
for "low budget" the obv choice would be the 1660 super
@brisk flame what’s low budget to you?
mystic wraith
for 800 you could get a 3080....
brisk flame
so even if you could get a better card, the money could go elsewhere
mystic wraith
true
mystic wraith
Oooh
lucid karma
Ah I was thinking low budget being up to like 900/1000
brisk flame
thats 230 vs 400
that 170 can go elsewhere to yield a better performing system
of course, this assumes 1080p gaming
not everyone who has 800 for a system is gaming
or maybe they are insistent on going 1440p
so a 2060+ would be justifiable
imo its more than good enough
the RX 470 is a 1080p card thats good enough
the 1660s crushes it
lucid karma
I know somebody who uses a 3080 for 1080p
quiet marsh
whats best for 3 monitors at 1080p with 60hz
lucid karma
I’m fairly certain he has a high refresh rate monitor though
sweet mirage
question for someone regarding graphics upgrades
ok, so im currently running a ryzen 7 1700x with a gtx 960, i want to upgrade to something newer but am not sure what the best option is?
frozen seal
well, whats your budget?
frozen seal
3070 then i guess
sweet mirage
and an omen 25
and i was considering a 3070 but wouldn't it get bottlenecked by the cpu?
brisk flame
1080p@144
sweet mirage
yeah
frozen seal
i mean, it shouldnt
sweet mirage
i was also considering a better monitor since i am only running one right now
frozen seal
bottlenecking isnt really all that much of a problem until its like, extreme differences
sweet mirage
yeah, keep this one and get a newer one with 4k or something
frozen seal
1700x has about the same performance as a 2600
frozen seal
3070 is still the best card
brisk flame
what gpu you running now?
frozen seal
yes, if anything get the 3070 and upgrade cpu
sweet mirage
960
frozen seal
at some point in the future
frozen seal
i thought it was $589
brisk flame
no, msrp of 6800 has always been 579
frozen seal
thats what it always was
and thats why i think amd doesnt have a direct 3070 competitor yet
sweet mirage
yeah, but would it be better to upgrade the gpu or cpu sooner?
sweet mirage
rog strix crosshair VI hero i believe
brisk flame
are you looking to emphasize quality or framerate?
sweet mirage
its an am4 socket
frozen seal
dayum ok
hard wren
probably at this time the cpu as the gpu market is stabalizing atm
sweet mirage
i guess both
hard wren
then when gpus drop in price you can grab one
sweet mirage
yeah, i was probably going to nab a 3070 for cheap if i can
sweet mirage
x370, explain?
hard wren
3600 is solid
sweet mirage
alrighty
frozen seal
3600 is still plenty for a 3070
brisk flame
thats the motherboards chipset
sweet mirage
yeah, a 3700x or 3600 would be plenty
brisk flame
imo, wait a week or two, nab a cheap 3600 off ebay
brisk flame
theres gonna be a ton of em
frozen seal
i wouldve played MW, just the texture packs never wanted to download so it ran at about 20 fps at lowest possible settting lmao
brisk flame
you should be able to get one for like 120
frozen seal
r5
brisk flame
make sure you update the boards bios with the 1700x first
but thats for another time
sweet mirage
yeah ill come back here for advice when i get the chip
brisk flame
that 960 needs an upgrade too tho
sweet mirage
ill probably get a new monitor before the graphics
and ill probably keep the current monitor for work and other screen stuff and use the 4k for gaming
frozen seal
if i were to buy a used 3600 off kijiji or smth, could there be any issues with it? like, do cpus really degrade all that much with heavy use?
frozen seal
lmao ok
sweet mirage
is rock with electricity
sweet mirage
but yeah, probably 4k 60hz or a 1440 at higher refresh
brisk flame
even then
so cpu upgrade, then just save up for a new gpu and monitor, by the time you end up getting a new gpu, 30 series and 6000 series cards should be easy to buy
sweet mirage
sweet, would a 3600x be better than a 3600 or is a negligible diference
sweet mirage
alrighty
brisk flame
idk if thats gonna happen again anytime soon tho
sweet mirage
what about the 3600xt, also negligible?
frozen seal
basically
sweet mirage
coolio
dreamy dragonBOT
YoungGob#5157 has been warned
sweet mirage
uh oh
frozen seal
;-;
sweet mirage
so wait for a 3600 for around 120 or so, then save and get the monitor and gpu, should i go for 4k, is it worth the lower refresh rates?
frozen seal
mate where you getting a 3600 for $120?
dusk oasis
ryzen 5600 with radeon 6800 is going to be fine?
sweet mirage
yeah, used probably, i found one on ebay for around 150

Any white GPU recs for around 600?

wraith plover
I’m debating buying a 5900x and a new 6000 series gpu or 3080 tmr
Do u think I should wait for the ti’s?

wraith plover
That’s what I think as well
dreamy dragonBOT
darth#5084 has been warned
sweet mirage
yeah, so id either wait and see the official specs and pricing for the 6000's or get a 3080 wherever you can find them

Just wait for the AMD cards. let the scalpers suck static
humble hemlock
5000 series is the 5th
real echo
Do the new AMD cards have better rtx than Nvidia 3000s?
raven horizon
In fact I am going AMD if it is anywhere close to Nvidia anyways . simply said, Nvidia pissed me off by not having enough chips. Simply said . they released too soon to try and beat out AMD's release and it burned us all
AMD is looking REALLY good . Beating 3080 for 50 bucks less
RTX , I would say they will be the same. DLSS is another question .
real echo
Amd never talked much about their version of dlss
Only that it exists and does the same things as Nvidia dlss

Yeah was just checking out the video. The 5600xt definitely looks to be better.
Thanks a lot @lone pond
Ohh yeah will have to consider that as well

weary flax
probably december, idk
queen oxide
I'm still going for a 3080
lone pond
hopefully nvidia can get their stocking problems in order
I would bite on that but I think I'm gonna wait for the 6000 series
weary flax
@queen oxide 3080 is less powerful than the 6800x, according to benchmarks at least
it depends on your needs
queen oxide
I got a 2070 super before the 6800x was released and I'm in the step up program with EVGA @weary flax
weary flax
I don't know what that is
queen oxide
I'm a NVIDIA fanboy anyways. Have we looked at the raytracing ability of other brands?
queen oxide
Yes they do, but nobody has been able to really take a look at it yet
weary flax
Its most likely worse than NVIDIA
queen oxide
And if you buy a 20 series card from EVGA you can register it and send it back with the price difference from what you paid and get shipped back a 30 series card
When it's your turn in the queue
weary flax
oh wow

Hey I had a question I’m building my computer soon and I have a monitor with g-sync does that work with radeon 5600 or do I have to go with nvidia for the g-sync to work
calm pasture
Ummmmmmm the worse but cheaper one which is a bit bottlenecked is 19 9900k with a rx580 and NZXT mother board case and water cooling 1 tb ssd and hdd and 32gb of ddr4 memory @languid mango
languid mango
Imagine a water cooled pc....
Im against it haha
@twilit harness Gsync works with AMD
calm pasture
@languid mango the other one is a i9 9900k with a 2060 super and water cooled forgot all the other specs tho but that ones more expensive
twilit harness
Ok cool thanks I’ve seen a lot of diff answers and people arguing about it just wanted another opinion
calm pasture
@languid mango why u not like water cooling?
It's only the cpu getting water cooled BTW
Not the gpu too
languid mango
It looks nice sure but I dont like the idea of liquid near my PC at all

Yeh I do think that tbh
languid mango
Plus I hear the only real benefit is noise reduction
Get a cooler master h500p and call it a day

My budget would probs be about 350 pound max tbh

But if I did get it I'd donate my current one and keep the new one

To buy a rig lol

Ah fair lol I mean what was the specs of the rig again
languid mango
I think a ryzen 5 30 something graphics and some other stuff
calm pasture
Yeh what gpu 3000 series or 2000
languid mango
It was a 2000 but I think Newegg gave him a 3000 to pop in

If I won the rig it'd be sick as for Christmas I could get a monitor and stuff instead so i have a full gaming setup

If you're buying now, buy what's available

I actually bought the 3070 because I don't play a lot of FPS games
So the extra power is totally unnecessary

Is there a particular type of 3080 I should be looking out for, or all all of them fine?

Asus TUF seemed like a good one based on what I heard

I like the zotac look the most

Then buy the Zotac. It really comes down to preference
You're also unlikely to get card comparisons because consumers only buy one
lucid karma

Yooo im im need of help BAD
just installed a pci extension cable from corsair for vertical mount gpu, and now that it is installed i have no display signal and have a solid red debug led on motherboard
Can someone pls help
regal temple
have you tried turning it off and on again
frigid grail
yed
regal temple
and reseated the card and connection?
frigid grail
yes and tried diff slot
dapper palm
Double check the power connections to the card make sure they didn't come lose from the psu end if you have a modular psu as well.
regal temple
also make sure the card works without the extension
daring tusk
if could be the extension cable aswell
frigid grail
yea card works fine been using it for a while normal andnjust now tried vertical
regal temple
prolly the cable
daring tusk
^^^
regal temple
got access to another card to test?
regal temple
can you drop links for the extension cable, mobo, and card?
dapper palm
Is the cable like all the way into the slot? Can you see any of the metal pins on the cable? That could be another issue if it refuses to sit flush. Same with the card.
regal temple
too many variables to know without details
regal temple
still need links. Might be something as dumb as incompatible parts
frigid grail
where i put the pci cable on thw graphivs card, no matter how hard i push, the latch wont close when the cable is pushed in. I have to put the cable in then manually close the latch
that normal?

Why don't you just mount it horizontally?

is your mobo a Z390?
frigid grail

TBH, the reviews on that product are a mixed bag. Could be DOA or loose connectors
the only real way to check is to use another card for diagnostics
2 cards don't work = prolly the connector
frigid grail
ok now something is weird
i just tried to put it back in like normal mount
and no display still
regal temple
try a different pcie slot
frigid grail
time to check some wires
regal temple
is your card a 1080?
regal temple
doesn't matter. I've had a card stop working randomly and it worked in another
mobos are finicky
if your cards power cables aren't fully connected to your PSU, it would throw a warning

is a 5500 xt decent for 1080p gaming?

is it an hdmi cord because they can be finicky

so i have my pc that has worked fine for months, well today i took out the gpu so i could vertical mount it. once i got it installed, i had no display... after tinkering with it for a while i said screw it and just put my gpu that has always worked back in the normal way, not vertical... and i STILL have no display
spice prawn
you tried to plug it back in the normal mount? @frigid grail
frigid grail
gigabyte 1660 super, display amd hdmi being used, and yes I tried plugging it back in the normal way that i know works
spice prawn
and the result of that was?
frigid grail
no displau, red debug light on mobo, havw tried clearing cmos multiple times by jumping those pins while unplugged
spice prawn
which debug light?
spice prawn
post your mainboard model too, would be practical for us to have
frigid grail
its the "vga" debug light on mobo
spice prawn
okay
frigid grail
msi x570 procarbon gaming wifi
naed also more info if it helps
the only other thing i did today was take out the stock cpu cooler and put a h100i liquid cooler in
spice prawn
did you test boot the system after you did that?
frigid grail
no did all at once
spice prawn
okay
question:
when you did the cmos/bios reset. Did you pull the power cord from the machine?
frigid grail
yes always i turned pc off, turned switch off on psu, turned off power strip, unplugged from wall
in that order
frigid grail
top
spice prawn
please take the old GPU (the one you mentioned you know has always worked) and try it in the bottom slot
in a normal mount
frigid grail
ok ive tried that already but since you here now im trying again, im desperate at this point and will listen
hard wren
@frigid grail just to make sure does the 1660s have a power connector on it and is plugged in?
frozen seal
and what what i've slowly gathered there isnt much difference between it and say the tuf when comparing with the price
frigid grail
ok @spice prawn ive got it sat in the bottom, should i clear cmos b4 powering on
frigid grail
@hard wren yes it is plugged in
hard wren
had to check
regal temple
@hard wren to clarify, he has only one GPU and has been alternating different PCIE slots. I tried helping out earlier
spice prawn
okay
when you did your cooler upgrade and everything earlier
did you by chance fiddle around with your psu cables?
(i imagine you have a modular psu)
frigid grail
didnt move the psu, but when i was plugging in a new sata comnector to the psu i had to kind of push some wires to the side for room
spice prawn
here is a "fun" task for you @frigid grail
frigid grail
new sata commector was because the cooler had a sata power and i needed one from my psu
regal temple
just make sure everything is plugged in man
spice prawn
unplug all the cables from the psu
frigid grail
ok
spice prawn
and replug everyhing
frigid grail
will do
spice prawn
and then do the same at the other end
Keep in mind, the "latch" on the connectors HAS to engage
frigid grail
ok
lavish gust
Did you turn the PSU on (I know very useless comment but hey)
spice prawn
@lavish gust he did. he would not have debug led if he didnt :)
lavish gust
I knew I missed something
Maybe try reseating the cables from the PSU end (if you have modular)
spice prawn
he is doing that now :)
hard wren
best case scenario no power to gpu causing the light
spice prawn
aye
hard wren
yeah that can only mean undetected gpu/integrated graphics
lavish gust
Has he check to make sure non of the PCIe conntecters are physically damaged?
hard wren
whoa now we never start there
lavish gust
Maybe when installing the vertical mount he sheered off on of the connectors
hard wren
plus we tried another slot
lavish gust
Hmmmmm
spice prawn
the separate slot test is exactly for that
daring tusk
i feel like the extender cable may have killed the card or pcie slots. i dont know how that could happen but its jsut a thought
spice prawn
you just dont ever tell people that is part of the reason

No I mean on the you itself not the mobo

because they get agitated quite easily :)

new gpu gets put in a vertical mount, he does a swap to a AIO at the same time

lavish gust
He ya go free 800 dollar gpu
frigid grail
sorry if what i said was worded wrong when i said wprking gpu i meant the same one that worked b4 i tried vertical
gentle ore
I'm also hosting a 3070 giveaway
gentle ore
which i also got for free 
gentle ore
u want me to link you to the contest?
lavish gust
No
spice prawn
both of you cut it out please.
lavish gust
I gtg be back in the mourning dm me if it gets fixed
gentle ore
again does it really matter what mobo i get for my 3080
if it does any recommendations
spice prawn
ask in #cpus-mobo-and-memory @gentle ore
gentle ore
okie
frigid grail
ty
spice prawn
could you pull out the gpu and take a picture of the pci-e connector ON the card?
both sides please
hard wren
and possibly a quick snap of that aio
spice prawn
you thinking cascade error @hard wren ?
hard wren
possible but just thought we should see while hes taking a pic or 3
spice prawn
aye aye, fair :)
frigid grail
ok will do
brazen osprey
yes later pcie gen better and more max @gentle ore
gentle ore
okie
brazen osprey
memory
spice prawn
@midnight badger if you are here to just chat, please do so in #general-chat
midnight badger
okiee
spice prawn
no worries, those are fine
and no obvious damage to the pins on this end
and i know you might have answered this one before @frigid grail but where on the back did you plug in the HDMI?
frigid grail
on the graphics card, im using dual monitors so one is display port and one is hdmi, both of which are plugged into back of gpu
frigid grail
haha worth asking
spice prawn
does the latch on the pci-e slot actually flip "up" when you insert the gpu?
frigid grail
top no, bottom yes.. i think i broke the top latch a few weeks ago but when i manual close it it was working fine
frigid grail
no not here but if need be i can give to a work buddy tmrw that can try on his
hard wren
are you pressing it in "firmly"
spice prawn
that counts as "firmly" :)
hard wren
yep
spice prawn
your vertical mount uses a pcie extension bracket, could you send a picture of both sides of the connector on that?
frigid grail
yea
spice prawn
same deal as the GPU pictures
frigid grail
spice prawn
aye, agreed Nilboggen
spice prawn
those are pristine looking
question: you tried to boot the machine without a gpu installed @frigid grail ?
frigid grail
i dont believe i did but im not 100% sure, i really dont think i did
hard wren
i'd also like to know if the pc has ever been disconnected from the power outlet
hard wren
kk
spice prawn
#graphics-cards message <- nilboggen
frigid grail
gpu unplugged from pci and also thr pci power unplugged too?
spice prawn
yes please, basically take the GPU out of the case and disconnected from everything
spice prawn
hm
try and give the card to your mate
nothing else you realistically can do right now @frigid grail
sorry mate
frigid grail
Naed at thia point should my option be buy new gpu or take to local pc shop?
hard wren
I wouldnt take the gpu to a local pc shop\
spice prawn
it might not be the GPU that is causing this
having your mate test it, would help narrow things down
hard wren
but I would like @spice prawn said try to have your buddy try the gpu so you can rule it out
if it doesnt work in a working pc its the gpu
frigid grail
ok thank you both for the troubleshooting and help
daring tusk
if it works in your friends system then the cable might be bad and killed something.
spice prawn
re: taking it to a local shop: wait :)
hard wren
I mean if you are bored and comfortable messing with it the next thing I would do is reseat that cpu red vga light or no
spice prawn
i know it sucks with your current situation, but try and stay positive @frigid grail
daring tusk
im just throwing out ideas so dont take it too heavily
spice prawn
the reseat is something i would ONLY do IF it works in the mates machine.
frigid grail
@hard wren I might try that now, I was kind of worried I had tightend the aio too tight to cpu anyways
gentle ore
what channel should i got to for a techie to guide me for my pc build?
hard wren
only if you are comfortable as @spice prawn is alluding to its a risk to mess with it
frigid grail
@spice prawn ok ill prolly just wait then to see if it works in his machine
gentle ore
from my first few minutes here he looks like he knows his stuff
spice prawn
its all about minimizing risk and taking it one step at a time @frigid grail :)
hard wren
what I would do and what you should do are 2 different things lol
spice prawn
@gentle ore if its general build list help, please ask in #building-and-recc-chat
frigid grail
Awesome ive got a laptop i can use so im not just 100 percent bummed out because i know if for some reason something fried, not everything did because all fans and leds work when turned on
spice prawn
if its specific parts you have questions about and want detailed answers on, ask in the relevant channels :)
@frigid grail :) but yeah, get your mate to test the card and give a shout when you have that info :)
gentle ore
okay thanks
hard wren
@frigid grail I hope it works out I'm rooting for some other weird mobo issue causing it
daring tusk
@gentle ore if its help knowing how to put everything together youtube if your best friend. just follow a pc build guide on yt, if you can find one in your case thats even better but they are all generally the same
gentle ore
yeah im just worried imma screw things up
connecting the cables looks like the most complicated part to me
knowing where goes where
spice prawn
re: assembling: dont rush, read the manual and most importantly! dont rush.
that is really all you need in that regard
gentle ore
okie
daring tusk
yup good luck
gentle ore
thx
lucid karma
So why are there so many 3080s listed at 750 or higher. Like are the changes in the clocks that big?
daring tusk
could be that or could be the different companies trying to get more money
lucid karma
I mean they have ones listed at 700 though
Then they have others that are higher
Like TUF gaming
There’s 700 and 750 versions
spice prawn
@lucid karma people are willing to pay silly amounts for nothing already. So the vendors are trying to earn extra where they can
basically just biz as normal
lucid karma
Ugh
fathom bear
You'd be surprised on how much people pay for 'aesthetics'
spice prawn
@lucid karma consider this: the 2080ti has a msrp of 999
it has sold for 1100+ since it was launched
lucid karma
Cause the tiny boosts are definitely not worth that amount of money extra, at least imo
spice prawn
its imo a important thing to talk about Nilboggen
because it highlights that the "gamers" are the cause of their own complaints about part prices
hard wren
yeah we are
spice prawn
which i personally find absolutely hilarious
hard wren
My wife put the law down when I tried to get a 3090 after how future proof I told her both of us getting 2080ti's was.....
hard wren
lol yeah shes good like that
lucid karma
So basically just grab a regular 700 one unless you absolutely can’t?
spice prawn
also, yes. the 3090 is a nifty chip, but holy heck is it ever NOT intended for the speed it is running at
spice prawn
i sincerely hope that amd has a perfect launch and enough stock etc etc etc
hard wren
me too
faint kindle
cooling is phenomenal too, under 100% load I haven't seen it spike over around 65C
fathom bear
If they have a perfect launch, that's a missed business opportunity
spice prawn
because it would be VERY beneficial for everyone if nvidia got a good kick to the nads
fathom bear
They built up too much stock early on if that's the case
hard wren
I am more looking forward to seeing those new AMD cpus though
faint kindle
I hope the absolute best for AMD, I'm glad they're creating a challenge. I feel that's what makes some of the best products, competition
spice prawn
@fathom bear not really. Because previous engagements prevented earlier launch
fathom bear
Their PR will benefit regardless
Which at the end of the day, matters almost as much as the performance of the cards themselves
hard wren
I really hope those early specs they released are accurate
be good for Nvidia like you said Naed
spice prawn
so far, Dr Su has not told a fib
faint kindle
oh wait, CPUs launch tomorrow, don't they?
fathom bear
They do.
spice prawn
they do @faint kindle
fathom bear
9EST supposedly
faint kindle
have there been any reviews yet? haven't had a chance to check youtube today
faint kindle
gotcha
lucid karma
I like the look of the zotac one the best, but I’ve heard TUF gaming is probably just the one to go for
fathom bear
Most people don't seem to like Zotac
I haven't owned anything from them, so I can't say where it comes from.
spice prawn
most people cannot remember what they had for lunch either
lucid karma
Lol
spice prawn
Zotac is a brand just like all the others
they make good and bad models
actual reviews (NOT customer ones on vendor sites) will tell the story
lucid karma
Customer reviews are generally pretty stupid
cedar creek
Is the 2070 super worth the extra like 80-100 to the 5700xt (besides rtx obv)
hard wren
and tbh all the pcb's are basically the same its like a big deal when they add a capacitor and mostly they make the cooling solution
spice prawn
please dont get me started on vrm bs Nilboggen
spice prawn
oh yes
and much as i respect Buildzoid, i cant help but wonder how much damage those reviews of his has done to peoples wallets
hard wren
probably a lot
spice prawn
sadly yes
hard wren
I used to hear about it on here non stop
spice prawn
i cant remember, did you become techie before or after me?
hard wren
while sitting here with my F rated gigabyte board and a 8700k OC-ed to 5.3 on all cores
I think after possibly same time or right after
spice prawn
kk
because i remember some heated debates around the time i joined the channel about it
hard wren
oh yeah I was always disenting
spice prawn
especially with that blasted bs board the tomahawk b450
hard wren
cause they would spend like $20-50 more on a motherboard not even wanting to OC but being advised about "good" vrms
spice prawn
aye
and end up with a very bad IO selection and less features overall
bah
oh well :)
lucid karma
Tomahawk isn’t a good board?
spice prawn
do you plan on trying to OC the heck out of your cpu?
if no? then do not get the tomahawk
hard wren
its not a bad board your just paying more for it than I think its worth
spice prawn
just about any of them @lucid karma
its that simple
look at IO
find one that has the selection you want
then see which board that is the cheapest with that selection.
lucid karma
I’m new to this, idk what kind of IO I want
fathom bear
Definitely jealous of the amd mobos
lucid karma
find one that has the selection you want
What is this selection I’m looking for
fathom bear
form factor, # usb ports, lan, # ram slots etc. etc.
lucid karma
Ah okay
faint river
960 best
young elbow
should i buy 2080ti? or wait for another stocks of 30 series?
lucid karma
How much is the 2080ti?
young elbow
somewhere below 800-750 i think?
lucid karma
Really?
young elbow
cause i was thinking to get one since i havent a pc since 2015
had*^^^
and thinking to build my "first" gaming rig
lucid karma
Oh yeah if it’s there, definitely don’t get
young elbow
no but saw it on newegg some lowered down
well some are still that price
but some were lowered
sick turtle
unless you go used, just wait for the AMD launch which will dwarf the 20series anyway.
lucid karma
True ^
empty compass
Can anyone tell me if the ASUS Radeon 5600XT is a good GPU? I guy in the byild chat recommended it to me but I noticed it only has 3 not so good reviews on newegg
sick turtle
The 2060 is a bit better but not by much, also it as raytracing which the 5600XT doesnt have.
empty compass
I'm not too worried about RTX/DXR right now, ill wait to upgrade to the 30 series before I get that
sick turtle
Then the 5600XT would be a good in between card.
wise ibex
Raytracing is a bit of a gimmick imo because all it does is make the reflections a little better rather than using raytracing for the actual lighting, like in Minecraft Java's seus path traced global illumination
night zealot
frigid bluff
Havent seen any reviews yet, but i mean its a 3080 and name brand you should be good. I got the MSI Ventus OC 3080 and its great
clear frigate
Yo I need to keep my eyes out on cards
obtuse sierra
I need somebody as a tie breaker, Radeon 6800 or rtx 3070, I mainly want to play vr games and both seem like great cards
frigid bluff
can join there discord, and they send notifcations for it and the 3070. Its how i got mine
old canyon
If you have a zen 3 chip go with Radeon, if not go with the one with best price
frigid bluff
cant go wrong either way @obtuse sierra
obtuse sierra
I have a 3700x
old canyon
And the one you can get your hands on
obtuse sierra
If I can get my hands on a gaming x trio 3070 then I’ll buy but if I can’t get one by the time 6800 comes should I just probably go for amd
frigid bluff
yeah just have mash refresh haha
coral jacinth
So, which one should you go for? Is it the AMD RX 6800 or the RTX 3070? Well, I suppose that comes down to a couple of fundamental factors.
Firstly, let's start with AMD. If you're an avid fan of AMD's components and you plan on purchasing one of the latest 5000-series CPUs, then a 6000-series GPU seems like the most obvious choice. Not only are you getting excellent value for money, but you'll be able to boost performance thanks to new features such as smart access memory and rage mode.
However, if you're still using an Intel chip, the performance gains probably aren't going to be as impressive as AMD says. Users utilizing an Intel CPU will not be able to use smart access memory, meaning they'll naturally get around 5-10% less performance. Also, with features such as DLSS 2.0 and RTX broadcasting, the Nvidia RTX 3070 could suit other users slightly more than AMD's alternative.
obtuse sierra
So if I’m gonna be running a 7 3700x I should buy amd because of it’s better compatibility
That is if I can’t buy a 3070 before
But I do enjoy the features nvidia comes with
coral jacinth
Ya I've always been a team Green user but Team Red is really stepping up there game
coral jacinth
Ya a few
This one is older but works good i7 9700k EVGA GTX 1070 FTW edition

guys will ryzen 7 3750h bottleneck gtx1660ti?
chilly granite
Probably not but dont quote me.
lone pond
has anyone here tested or have rtx 4000?
why is the newegg site unavailable in poland, where i live
This is the Graphics cards channel, and check if the site is down or support.
manic oar
I have an R7 2700X......from the RTX 3070, RX 6800 and RX 6800XT...which GPU seems like the most viable option?

2x 5700XT or 1x 6800XT ?
torn shadow
crossfire still exists?
lone pond
I have a GeForce GTX 970 that i've been using since 2017 which was a hand me down from my brother, I was wondering if a 3070 will be a upgrade that I can stick with for a couple years
I just spent $772 on one and i'm hoping I didn't make a mistake :/
graceful field
hoary pollen
the 3070 is ~235% better performance
lone pond
I got it from StockX
Do you guys know the price of a 970? I was wondering if I can sell it, Only bad thing though. I don't have the box or anything for it. Just the card
hoary pollen
depending on your setup you might be able to use the 970 for a single screen used for stuff like discord and youtube
torn shadow
usually between 80-100
lone pond
I have a i7 9700k, 32gb 3200 Mhz ram and 1tb SSD I forgot name

the question is mainly, how many screens do you have and the motherboard?

if you only have one then you can't XD

Does anyone know what power supply is recommended for a 2060
naive girder
What’s the cpu
hybrid kettle
i5-9400
naive girder
650w maybe lemme check
Yeah
And that’s being safe
Because technically you can put a 500w
But it’s always better to put more in psu
hybrid kettle
Oh ok thanks
Well I was gonna just put the 2060 in the computer that I have now
But I only have a 450w
