more power to you, even though RT performance is ass

#

not like RT is even that noticeable

#

tbh

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

Even then it's not the best, but we're still early in its implementation

wary owl Nov 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

well

#

fate has answered

subtle cradle Nov 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

a lot of RT isn't noticeable imo

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

I still think standard raster visuals are better, but that makes sense we've been doing that for longer

steel smelt Nov 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

2060 RT isn't worth the extra cost of the 2060 over the 5600xt though. I think anyway.

wary owl Nov 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

no white 2080

vale oyster Nov 30, 2020, 2:21 AM

Tbh I wouldn't use RT in anything but a rtx 2080 above

i mean 2070s is okay

#

still not good

wary owl Nov 30, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

whoever is paying 750 for a white 2080 super, best of luck to you friend

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

2060 is bottom of the barrel for RT performance, so it's just eh

subtle cradle Nov 30, 2020, 2:23 AM

lol

wary owl Nov 30, 2020, 2:23 AM

one off the top of my head is some of the PowerColor cards

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 2:24 AM

#

The only ones I can think of are some of Asrock's cards and Sapphire's I don't know who else has done that

1650 Super is better than 3050y

#

you heard it from TechPowerUp

toxic nacelle Nov 30, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

oh nooooooooooooo

#

i have a 1660

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

1% is a wash

#

Though now it makes me wonder, what kind of RT performance will that card even have? It's gonna be worse than a 2060 evidently

glass helm Nov 30, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

if i was to get 3080 i need to upgrade cpu that is ryzan 2600x?

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Eh, what resolution are you playing at?

glass helm Nov 30, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

only 1080

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Then absolutely yes, but then in that case I would say don't buy a $700+ graphics card for 1080p

glass helm Nov 30, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

i think i read that if was playing 1440 i would be fine but since 1080 it would be best to upgrade

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

Even at 1440p I think an upgrade would also kinda be in order tbh

glass helm Nov 30, 2020, 3:50 AM

using 1660 ti msi ventus

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

Is 220$ for a 1660 super good?

#

And would a intel i5 9600k run a rtx 2060

spare relic Nov 30, 2020, 4:28 AM

#

230 is msrp

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:28 AM

Nice

So I got a deal from microcenter

But would the i5 run a 2060

Didn't think I had 2 but somehow they let the bots buy everything but I get blocked after 2 months of trying 2 get the stupid thing

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

Which card

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

@spice prawn So i realized something. All those three games that were giving me issues (AC origins, GRW, and NBA) are all installed on the ssd. Every other game is on my hdd and no problems so far. There is once other game on the ssd (Trine) which isn't giving me issues so far. I did try moving NBA to the HDD but this didn't fix the issue. BUT maybe there is something here? or am I grasping at straws? Sorry to bother you btw lol

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

Tbh I dont think that's the problem

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

you have a 1660? I have the 1660 super. Is it giving you any graphical issues in any games?

#

@lone pond

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

No it runs super smooth but I set it up 5 days ago

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:40 AM

that's good

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

I also have the 1660 super

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:40 AM

I just got the 1660 super in a prebuilt a few days ago too

#

oh ok

#

Asus tuf gaming

#

Eww you got a prebuilt

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

well do you have either ghost recon wildlands, nba2k20, or AC origins?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

Nah I'm just kidding

#

No none of those

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

haha i know. Well its an MSI trident 3. I dont think I could build something that nice anyway haha

#

dang

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:42 AM

#

I have apex, rocket, and minecraft

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:42 AM

I'm getting graphical issues, perhaps artifacts?

you familar with them?

#

Msi and corsair pre builts are really good I've heard

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

my issues are only on those three games and nothing else. And all three are on my boot drive

edgy gyro Nov 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

If its graphics issues its probably the gpu

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

I guess I got unlucky. Although it may be a defective component. The package as a whole is amazing. I love how compact it is

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

Yeah all I have is a samsung 970 evo 500gb I dont have anything else

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

I'm just trying to figure out whats better to do. Contact newegg for the RMA or MSI.

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

MSI prolly

edgy gyro Nov 30, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

New egg msi will take forever

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

I'm thinking newegg wouldn't be able to replace a specific component right? They would have to replace the whole PC right?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

Yeah that's what I'm thinking

steel smelt Nov 30, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

@edgy gyro I just got blocked by Newegg too. All I did was use a Chrome app to refresh a page for me this weekend waiting for them to restock something.

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

dang. sorta inconvenient since I spent the last few days installing tons of crap on the ssd and hdd lol but at least this issue started less than a week from getting the pc so I can replace it

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

Big sad, good thing I can't even afford a 3000 series card

#

Just buy a big ass flash drive and move you games on the flash drive

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:46 AM

#

I'm just affraid that If they replace it, the issue will still happen. Cuz i've heard that happened to a few people

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

Well you could return it

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

Yeah that's what i did initially to transfer the games from my laptop to the PC. Now gotta do the reverse lol

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

And get a whole new system

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:47 AM

#

this one was affordable for me so can't really do that

#

and also it was sff

#

there were cheaper PCs but they were all mid towers or full atx

#

I'm gonna be travelling soon, that's why i got the trident 3

edgy gyro Nov 30, 2020, 4:48 AM

Honestly rma and build it yourself

#

you mean refund?

I know that was my plan, but I'm a student and dont have much time and need a PC to be working out of the box so I dont have any downtime for studying

Of master and techie

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:58 AM

which was powerful but unreliable

#

techie is given, they ask you.

#

the other is just being active

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 4:59 AM

#

and it was limited by the terrible cooling of the CPU on the laptop

#

that's why I'm trying to steer away frop laptop and egpu gaming

#

and go full on PC gaming

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 4:59 AM

but taking a baby step in buying a prebuilt before I actually build a PC myself haha

To expensive

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

expensive

#

as hecl

its a trade off, if you need the flexibility

the egpu was a good compromise

#

What's egpu

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

external gpu

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

oh no way i will open your eyes to external graphics card enclosures

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

the tech is pretty cool

#

just once cable and boom, 300% better performance from using a laptop with no dedicated gpu

#

(i made up that statistic)

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

I would imagine

#

What time is for you

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

yeah only thing is I was using an ultra thin laptop (lenovo ideapad 730s) and the cooling was so bad I had to use throttlestop to disable turbo so the processor could only run at a measly 1.8 Ghz to avoid thermal throttling

#

midnight

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

No idea what any of that is

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

oh haha

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

Like throttle stop wtf is that

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

its a program you can use to undervolt your cpu or to alter the boost frequencies

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

So the opposite of overclock

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

its used to limit how much power the cpu drains so the temps stay in check

#

yeah exactly

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

Dang 1.8 Ghz I over clocked my i5 to 4.1 ghz

much better

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:07 AM

Yeag

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:07 AM

yeah i cant do overclocking on mine

#

mobo doesnt allow it

#

or the cpu idk

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:07 AM

I got it for super cheap with black Friday

#

154$

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

oh nice

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

Its MSRP was like 200 something

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

i got this trident 3 for black friday haha

#

but obviously as you know will either replace it or refund it

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:08 AM

Yeah I bought my whole build at microcenter on Wednesday

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:08 AM

oh nice

first build?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:08 AM

I wish i was you

we dont have microcenter here

wow

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:10 AM

Yeah I saw Austin's vid

what case did you build in?

That's how I discovered microcenter

oh ok ahah

That's why I keep saying it was good

i see that now haha

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:10 AM

My motherboard was probably overkill ngl

Z390 pro wifi

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

oh wow

#

haha

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

Its MSRP was 200

#

Crazy

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

yeah i thought that's for like 2080 and 3000 series haha

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

I mean the guy at microcenter reccomend it

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

but your cpu is good so makes sense

#

yeah

#

cuz it allows overclocking i guess

#

and upgrade path is great

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

It wont run 10th gen intel chips though

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

oh haha

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

So no i9 for me lol

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

i assumed it would

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

Like I would even want one

#

It might actually

#

Not surr

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

yeah you're probably good with what you have CPU wise for many years

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

Yeah I would like a 2060 in 3 years time or less

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

your gpu is the only thing you really would need to upgrade

#

yeah

#

but for rn 1660 is really good

#

I game at 1080p 60hz too

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

That and I might want a extra fan

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

I almost pulled the trigger on a 3080 system but then realized who, that would be such a waste considering I dont have the peripherals to take advantage of it, like a high refresh rate monitor

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

I have 75hrz not a huge difference but slightly noticeable I would imagine

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

yeah maybe

#

I have a 75hz ultrawide too

#

i dont really notice a difference though tbh

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

yeah you basically have to buy a 144hrz monitor for a 3080 and it be pointless to get 1080p

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

yeah

#

a good realization to have thouygh

#

saved me a ton of cash

#

haha

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

Yep

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

cuz then i would most definitely waste more money on a new monitor

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

I almost bought the i5 10400 but then I realized that the 9600k war the same price and way better

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

yeah good call

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

Them black Friday deals

#

Lol

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

lol

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

You'll probably get one after the xmas season

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

I dunno if that's way better phaSheva

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

slightly

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

Wdym

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

Well you're getting half the threads

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

10400f cant be overclocked right?

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

No it can't but clockspeed isn't everything

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

It wasnt the 10400f just 10400

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

6 core 12 threads

#

oh

#

whats core and thread count of 9600k?

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

6 cores/6 threads

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

Damn I'd have to look it up

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:19 AM

well 10400f just doesnt have integrated graphics, i know that

#

also i have a q

#

what exactly are threads for?

#

and the difference between that and a core?

#

maybe thats a loaded question

#

haha

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

consider them "cores that are only active when the cpu is doing things that does not use everything"

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

So it's called hyperthreading, it makes each core more efficient at multi tasking.

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

I got the 9600k cuz it has a better speed out of box

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

thats the "base" ide

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

And I'm not gonna be multitasking

#

This is just for school and gaming

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

the implementation that we have in modern SMT is basically "cores" that run all the time and which are close to equal to normal cores

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

Those 6 threads are already on their knees for modern AAA games

knotty iris Nov 30, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

I just don't understand why they don't do a preorder system for them and just let us order them ahead of time so I don't have to keep frustrating myself with the damn bot lottery. I'm on a 3GB 1060, I need an upgrade

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

does that answer it for you @warm palm ?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

But do you need to go from a 1060 to a 3080

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

i still dont get it haha

#

but its not important

knotty iris Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

I want to go 4K so ye

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

generally: more thread = better

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

as long as things are fast

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

(there are limits)

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

spice prawn generally: more thread = better

that I understand lol

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

There's always a use for extra threads, like the Os doing stuff in the background

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

Doesnt the threadripper have like 128 threads or smth

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

Yes, it does the highest end offering

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

so cores are for active tasks and threads takeover background tasks?

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

the 64 core one does

#

cores = threads from that POV @warm palm

#

they are the same thing from the view of "how fast is this cpu"

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:23 AM

#

Why is that necessary

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:23 AM

#

and when are they unequal?

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:23 AM

#

It's not necessary for the average person obviously

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

Yeah like wtf is that for

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

its a sideeffect of the cpu design we use "now"

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

I guess large scale video editing

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

When they presented it, it was shown rendering a CG model for the recent Terminator movie

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

frequency does not scale as well as people would like

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

like maybe if you are watching a youtube video podcast, while playing a game, and downloading a game, and maybe rendering something in sony vegas? LOL

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

XD

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

hence why we are trying to go "wide" instead of "high"

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

spice prawn hence why we are trying to go "wide" instead of "high"

interesting

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

warm palm like maybe if you are watching a youtube video podcast, while playing a game, an...

honestly I've done this, minus the rendering a video lol

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

its way more complex than that ofc, but that is the gist of it

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

yeah i figured

What's the Intel xeon series

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

oh buy

#

boy

#

those are like worsestation cpus right?

#

workstation*

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

I saw them in all the digital storm workstations

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

workstation/server versions designed for the kind of workloads that LOVES threads

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

Like how many threads

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

oh that makes sense because a server would be handling the workload of multiple computers at once

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

yes

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

and processing data and completing tasks

#

for the multiple computers connected to the server?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

I actually though about buying from digital storm

#

But then was like nah

warm palm Nov 30, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

this was very educational

#

lol

#

ty

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

intel xeon tops out at 56threads per socket iirc

#

but models like that and the competing amd ones are normally in the 5k+ range

#

per cpu

#

but the cpu and the hardware in general that the rest of the server/workstation is made up from. is generally the smallest cost of the machine itself

#

the software licenses etc normally outstrip that by a factor of 10 or more

#

in a server rack, the license fees are silly

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

Some of those digital storm work stations had 4 rtx titan x gpus

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

yes, thats nice and cheap still

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

The cheapest workstation was 4k

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

aye

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

Wait no 2k

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

thats sofa money in that space

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

The most expensive was like you know 60k or something

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

aye

#

still in consumer space then

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

That's just dumb

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

not really

#

think about it like this

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

Who would need all that

spice prawn Nov 30, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

IF you have someone that is limited by how fast the machine can work

#

IF you can get a machine that makes each job they do, go 10% faster

#

they make 10% more money

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 5:33 AM

most people are going with ryzen 5 3600+ with 3070

#

oh

frigid hound Nov 30, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

are there any 5600xt's there are not overpriced right now?

delicate elbow Nov 30, 2020, 6:04 PM

So what, are people getting banned for refreshing newegg too much?

?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

lone pond i want to upgrade my rx 570 but idk what to go to since i dont want bottleneck a...

Cpu?

#

Also your upgrade path is like 1660/5600 xt or 5700 xt/2060/2070

#

that is what i plan on

#

i got a prebuilt sadly cause im too scared to actually build a pc but its a ryzen 3 2300x i want to go to a 5600 xt but now im thinking a 1660 super

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

@lone pond what mobo did it come with?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

its a stupid a320

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

oh :/ i was bouta say you could easily perform an upgrade

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

yeah

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

but guess you'd need a newer board

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

so i would need a newer board to get an upgrade of any kind?

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

yeah

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

hm

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

You'd want a B550 or an X570

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

Newer board, new cpu and check your psu too, could be a bomb.

#

yeah ik lmao

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Ik it can be kinda scary but doing your own building is pretty simple plugging the right stuff in

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

hm

#

All you really need is a screwdriver and a manual...and a working brain
It is very simple.

#

well would there even be a point to go to something like an rx 580? could that work

#

Rx 580 would be a very small upgrade.

#

Not worth.

#

yeah i thought so

#

i just kinda wanted to do an upgrade on my gpu but if i have to do all this then im not too sure what to do

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

Wait so first priority is a GPU?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

yeah my 570 does well just i want to be able to run games coming in the future a bit better

#

I would save up though.

#

You 570 will do fine.

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

If you wanna upgrade the CPU for starters I'd start doing lots of curiosity driven research on boards compatible with the Zen 3 CPUs

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

ok

#

yeah

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

It's pretty fun looking at all the different pricing and considering features you want

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

im questioning now what i should do with this pc

#

pretty much most of it needs to be changed

#

OMG

📎 image0.jpg

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

For starters what PSU do you have

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

a 600 watt

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

very nice 🤓

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

ty ty

#

not too sure much else

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

a 600W is still respectable

#

you can work with that for now

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

so pretty much change mobo and cpu and gpu

#

?

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

Yeah those are the main things your memory DDR4?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

yeah

#

its just 8 gigs 3000

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

you can still use that fine

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

ok well i planed on getting around 300 or probably more for christmas which i was going to upgrade gpu and get 16 gigs

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

so if you're set on a 5600x which is what id be looking into maybe peep the B550 boards on the market that fit your price range and features you want

#

and your case is a midtower ATX im guessing?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

yeah seems so

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

not a micro or mini

#

cool you can get any basic ATX motherboard in there

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

so what motherboard and cpu should i go with then gpu

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Okay so I'd get a B550 with a Ryzen 5600x

#

theres some good deals on the B550s with wifi and all the good stuff youd want

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

Ok

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

I mean it doesnt have to be a 5600x

#

but thats the new thing rn

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

what about a 1600 af

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

hard to get your hands on if you need something rn youd be fine with a 3600x for a good price

#

That would do the job fine as well

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

i would probably plan on that

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

the 1600 as in the first gen AMD?

clear pier Nov 30, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

@lone pond HOW DID YOU GET IT

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

no

#

i spammed zotac

#

the af model

clear pier Nov 30, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

that works

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

they probs the only viable place

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

The 1600AF is pretty much a lower binned 2600

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

amazon and whatever u have no chance cause of bots

#

yeah but its pretty much a 2600 though right

toxic pier Nov 30, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

is this a good deal for a 570

#

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076Y93L8F?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

Then nah id pass on that and get something a bit newer Zen 2 or Zen 3

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

The reason it exists is because AMD still has a lot of Gloflo 12nm Silicon to use

#

And the 1600 is a popular cpu in certain regions

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

then what cpu should i go with then without going too much

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

What does that mean?

#

Like go over budget?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

yeha i mean that

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

What's your budget?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

well i just planned on using money from christmas

prime bane Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Well guys how can i get a rtx 3070 😔

fervent obsidian Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

a little bit of magic and patience

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

like around 400 i would say

fervent obsidian Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

and one will appear

clear pier Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

really good luck

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

but i want to upgrade my mobo and maybe my gpu

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

You'd be willing to drop $400 on a CPU alone?

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

400, that's rough but it can be done

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

yeah

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

or thats your overall budget?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

pretty much

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

400 towards those components?

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

Okay so 400 for overall upgrades

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

yeah pretty much

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

What are you working with right now?

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

most of that money gonna go towards the GPU likely

prime bane Nov 30, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

I really can't wait my first pc is arriving soon and this f card is always out of stock

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

its a prebuilt but its a ryzen 2300x and a 570

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

hmmm

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

Any idea what the power supply is?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

im too scared to build a pc

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

he said issa 600W

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

its 600 watts

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

probably a generic brand

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

probably :/

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

no big deal

prime bane Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

lone pond im too scared to build a pc

Boy it's easy 👍

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

Is it a cyberpower or something?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

yeah

#

it is

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

I think they use like some generic brand then, but it's probably Okay. Would be worth swapping out if it's really old. Though from the sounds of it it's only got a couple years

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

i got this pc a month ago

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Really, with those specs? That's strange

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Was it on sale?

#

probably discounted

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

ok well its a long story but a friend bought it for me

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

oh okat

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

my family didnt get it

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Some PC they had sitting around for a while and no one was buying

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

well i found it on best buy and it seemed popular

#

i can find a link to it if you want

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

It could help to know, but I'm familiar with Cyberpower and what they typically use

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

how much was it out of curiosity?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

600

#

i think

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

damn

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

at least i didnt buy it lol

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

Yeah I mean the market is weird sometimes with pre builts in terms of pricing

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

It doesn't seem like a bad set up, you could probably get a 2600 or something and put it in there no problem and that could work for a while honestly

#

Save up for something better overall

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

yeah he could get a 2600x for cheap

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

so maybe what i actually should do is upgrade my cpu then i want to upgrade my ram to 16 gigs

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

a single stick of 8 wouldnt be expensive

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

yeah but i dont know what brand the ram is

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

Eh get a kit of 2x16 and replace the 1

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

yeah i kinda planned on that

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

Err sorry 2x8

#

That's what I meant

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

he goes straight to 32 gb lol

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

I mean it wouldn't be a bad idea phaWesker

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

actually you said i need to upgrade my mobo too

#

right

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

well it depends

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

Most likely for a CPU upgrade, like if you wanted to get the brand new Ryzen

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

if you just doing a 2600 then not really but if you concerned with having something compatible for newer cpus then yes

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

ok then

#

so mine should be fine

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

but in terms of saving money rn just keep what you have

#

bro why are the 2600s sold out rn on newegg

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

A 570 will do fine at 1080p for most things, the latest games you might have to turn down settings. Especially if it's a 4gb model

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

people really raided everything

#

lol

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

its a 4 gb

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

At 1080p typically though, for most things

#

4gb is enough for even high settings

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

unless it's a game like Rust

#

lol

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

well i was looking at far cry 6 system requirments which could change but from what i saw my 570 was a minimum

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

Well I don't play that, but yeah I'm sure every other game is Vram hungry phaWesker

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

or Ark lol that game will tank almost every GPU on ultra settings even in 1080

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

Um, wow

#

Yeah I see GTX 970, R9 380 for minimum

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

yeah

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

I need an upgrade phaWesker

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

yeah i just wanted to upgrade my gpu

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

Well not that I want to play Far Cry 6

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

yeah same

#

but it seems

#

games are getting way more harder to run

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

But I mean if the recommended cards are starting to be 1080, 1070Ti, 5700 whatever

#

I need a better card

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

oh also could i get away with a 1660 super or would that not work

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

if you can get one for msrp lol

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

Yeah that's pretty good, it's like 1070ish performance

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

well originally i wanted just 16 gigs of ram and that

eternal locust Nov 30, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

the market is fked rn

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

Everyone wants an upgrade, so it's no easy task

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

so well i can get a 1660 super?

#

well if i can find one

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

If you can find one that isn't inflated in price, then it would be fine

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

ok

#

that answers the questioning ive been looking for

#

what the heck did i just say

#

whatever

#

whenever i can then ill try sometime later to upgrade my cpu and mobo

Is the 3070 going to last 4 years if I'm only using it to play AAA games at medium-high settings and competitive games low settings 1440p?

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

lone pond Is the 3070 going to last 4 years if I'm only using it to play AAA games at medi...

What kinda of question is that?

#

🤔

#

But uh...sure i guess?

#

is that not how you ask that kind of question

#

asking if a card will last a certain amount of time based off your monitor res and games youre playing

#

No...it is because you are asking a question that only a time traveler would known lol

#

We don't known if AAA graphics gonna evolve in 4 years
It could be a big evolution
Or just a small one.

#

the 3070 is as good as a 2080 ti

#

or actually a bit better

#

I mean its possible to make a prediction based off of trends with previous gpus and the current rate of AAA game evolution

#

unless im totally wrong and I shouldnt have listened to the people that told me that the 1080ti would last 4 years in 2016

lucid karma Nov 30, 2020, 8:42 PM

Okay so does a factory overclock make any actual difference? Is there a point in getting a reference card as opposed to paying more for the zotac amp holo or the msi gaming x trio or whatever

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

lucid karma Okay so does a factory overclock make any actual difference? Is there a point in...

Factory OC is just a overclock already done at the card while also begin stable.

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

Really the selling point is the cooler and how the AIB's customize the board for their cards

lucid karma Nov 30, 2020, 8:48 PM

unless you stream/video edit, in that case probably 1660s

mostly gaming I might stream but if I do get into it I’ll sell the rx5600xt and get a 1660super

shy lava Nov 30, 2020, 9:07 PM

ok i have some info
so the 6800xt reference when overclocked can get junction temps of up to 91c which does sound pretty bad
would waiting for aib be better?

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

91c junction temps is nothing, if it were 120 that would be concerning

But from what I've seen, yes the high end AIB models seem to be really good

shy lava Nov 30, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

well i dont think the tuf is a high end model so

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

Well don't bother with Asus for Radeon tbh

#

Sapphire, Powercolor or XFX. Those are the three to look at for Radeon

shy lava Nov 30, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

ah ok

#

ty

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

Asus might get their stuff together for once on the Radeon side

#

But I would wait for reviews

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

Sapphire has a good track record on cooling for radeon cards

shy lava Nov 30, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

i havent seen any so asus has extremely limited cards

#

only time i seen it was scalped prices on shopblt

green harness Nov 30, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

ripe ivy But I would wait for reviews

This for any part tbh

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

Well yeah of course, my point is Asus has a pretty bad recent track record with making radeon cards.

shy lava Nov 30, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

so keep an eye on sapphire powercolor or xfx got out

#

ty ty

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

There are reviews of their cards out already

lucid karma Nov 30, 2020, 9:13 PM

So Asus for the 3080

wicked blaze Nov 30, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Does anyone know of a 2060 in stock at a decent price? Everything I can find is around $500.

lucid karma Nov 30, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

Yeah a lot of cards have bad pricing currently

shy lava Nov 30, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

ok i have my eye on the merc319 and nitro+ non se

#

they look really good

#

i dont think there is a review out for the nitro+ but there is one for the merc319

#

the se version of the nitro+ just adds argb fans im guessing

wicked blaze Nov 30, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

lucid karma Yeah a lot of cards have bad pricing currently

Pretty sure it's the holidays, I can wait a bit though since I still have to save up for a monitor and m&k

#

Yeah I'm not sure, for some reason whenever I look or think of a graphics card I just think of a 2080

#

Or just nvidia in general

thorn prairie Nov 30, 2020, 9:24 PM

shy lava Nov 30, 2020, 9:25 PM

ripe ivy There are reviews of their cards out already

is the nitro+ se just the non se but with a usb c and argb fans KEKW

I dunno a 1660 super prolly

Maybe a 5600XT

Something around there would be good

i was thinking 1650 but its going for 400 rn

and rx 5500 xt bc its better n goes for 250ish

the price isnt accurate on this but the specs are

#

uhh i cant send a link

fervent obsidian Nov 30, 2020, 10:14 PM

250 for 5500xt aint worth

Don't get a 1650 unless you are doing a sff build.

Where does the 5700xt stack up against nvidia cards

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

It's pretty much 1080 Ti performance, trading blows with the 2070 Super and 2080 at times

lucid karma Nov 30, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Oh

#

Wow

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

To give you an idea

#

📎 index.png

#

It seems like it's a solid 1080p card, and it will be for a while. And it's still decent for 1440p

Oh sweet

Perfect card for my sister then

opaque stratus Nov 30, 2020, 10:35 PM

Lol

#

that's true?, the 5700xt beating the 3070

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Just at 1080p in that game

#

It's losing at 1440

opaque stratus Nov 30, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

yeah but either way beating a 3070 on 1080p is pretty impressive xd

#

and isn't losing too much on 1440p

#

man since i buy my 2060 super, everywhere i go is always talking about the 5700xt, feels bad man

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

5700 xt beating 3070? Lmao what kinda of graphic is that

green harness Nov 30, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

Who uses a 3070 for 1080p?

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

No one I hope

green harness Nov 30, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

Same. Just a waste at that point, with the exception perhaps of when someone is using ray-tracing

fervent obsidian Nov 30, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

eh 3070 is acceptable for 1080p

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

But that's obviously not the case, there are ill informed consumers that will get the latest graphics card without thinking about the display they're playing on

green harness Nov 30, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

The Ampere cards, as far as I understand (which may not be very far!), scale better at 1440p and 4k

sullen nest Nov 30, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

But you have to think about how expensive nice monitors are

knotty iris Nov 30, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

Question, how much better is the Zotac amp holo compared to the Trinity?

wispy meteor Nov 30, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

should I get 6800xt or 3070?

#

649 for 6800xt and i believe 499 for 3070 so basically spending 150 dollars more

#

for rx

real echo Nov 30, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

I guess it depends on what you want. I heard Nvidia has better divers, more game optimization, dlss and better ray tracing. But 6800xt is very powerful for gaming as well, just not at 4k

#

Also the price difference

gritty notch Nov 30, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

30 series cards arent made for 1080p

real echo Nov 30, 2020, 11:07 PM

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 11:08 PM

#

gritty notch 30 series cards arent made for 1080p

The new cards yeah, 3060 will probally aim for 1080/1440p gaming

green harness Nov 30, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

sullen nest But you have to think about how expensive nice monitors are

So pair a cheaper gpu with a cheaper monitor 🤷‍♂️

sullen nest Nov 30, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

But you can get a great gpu with an okay 1080p monitor and then get a 1440+ monitor down the line without getting both newb

#

New*

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

real echo I guess it depends on what you want. I heard Nvidia has better divers, more game...

Game optimization uh...idk but it does have features that amd is still way behind like DLSS and Ray tracing.

real echo Nov 30, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

Are they even releasing a dlss for amd?

#

Also, Nvidia has a bunch of other drivers for streamers that amd currently does not have

lone pond Nov 30, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

real echo Are they even releasing a dlss for amd?

Lol no, DLSS is a nvidia feature that nvidia developed.

#

And nothing about any DLSS equivalent feature on amd side.

sonic crypt Nov 30, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

@ripe ivy i use a 3070 for 1080p gaming but I usually spend a bit more as I don’t plan on building a new pc until 4-5 years

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

Better than using a 2080Ti for 1080p I guess, like it's the same performance but for the longest time that was a $1200 card so phaWesker

sonic crypt Nov 30, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

😂

real echo Nov 30, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

@lone pond yeah I meant to ask for a dlss equivalent on amd. They really need it for 4k gaming. But amd is better in 1080p and 2k resolutions

daring tusk Nov 30, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

they plan on making something similar to DLSS but who knows how that would perform

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

They're working on something called Super Resolution

humble niche Nov 30, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

3070 for 1080p makes sense for high refresh rate monitors though

ripe ivy Nov 30, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

Eh, I think lower tier cards are solid high refresh 1080 cards

daring tusk Nov 30, 2020, 11:54 PM

what about 3070 for 1080p 60HRz

#

lol

#

not overkill at all

I think mine was $419 BF sale.

Which graphics card is better: AMD Radeon 6900XT or NVIDIA GeForce 3090

worn gazelle Dec 1, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

@barren hull you will have to wait for the reviews

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

I don’t think third party benchmarks for the 6900xt are out

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

ok

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

So not possible to say atm

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

cuz i wanna know wheter to wake up 1 am launch day for the 6900XT to buy it or just get the 3090

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Rumor is that 6900xt performs much better than expected in spite of the price difference

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

ok

#

do you know which one performs better in minecraft?

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Overclocked 6800xt has been close to 3090 in extreme cases

#

You mean Minecraft rtx?

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

just normal minecraft

#

the FPS

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Uhh well both of them would be extremely overkill if you’re just playing Minecraft

#

A 3070 can run Minecraft at 300-500fps

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

ok

#

but do you know which one is better

#

just wondering

#

cuz if i am running a shader pack plus a resource pack it will really drain the fps

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

No, as I said the 6900xt hasn’t been benchmarked as it’s not released to the public so it’s up to our speculations as to which one is better

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

oh

#

k

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Do you mean the RTX shader?

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

yes

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

In that case nvidia >and

#

Amd

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

ok

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

Because amd’s ray tracing is only first gen vs nvidia second gen ray tracing

#

And so nvidia does much better in games that utilize ray tracing

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

ok

faint kindle Dec 1, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

I don’t personally notice a huge difference in ray tracing on vs off on Cold War, but haven’t experienced it much in other games yet

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

ok

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

@barren hull keep in mind though the 3090 is $1500

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

yeah

faint kindle Dec 1, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

My FPS sure does though

#

ray tracing on I get like 80-90 FPS vs off 144+ (locked at 144, not sure what I get unlocked)

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

is there a big difference raytracing between first gen and second gen?

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

AMD first gen ray tracing is not as good as nvidia’s second gen

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

in what way

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

Nvidia gets higher frames in games that utilize ray tracing

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

ok

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

Than AMD

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

so then i should get the 3090 then

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

are you willing to spend 1.5k?

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

hmm

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

IMO you'd be fine with a 3080

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

maybe if it worth the price

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

but if you want to dump all that money then sure go for it

eternal locust Dec 1, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

Imagine buying a 6900XT to play minecraft

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

^

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

it drains fps to 20 when raytracing

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:32 AM

for that price you could build a whole 3080 system

barren hull Dec 1, 2020, 12:32 AM

ok

#

oh

lone pond Dec 1, 2020, 12:33 AM

if all you need it for is RTX minecraft, then 3080 should be plenty
