If I just installed my graphics card, should I let windows update it to the version it chooses automatically or should I check to update manually to the most up to date one un n das website

I just finished my first build and have to wait to get a GPU since my CPU doesn't have integrated graphics
I think a small pc business in my town might have some since they have pre builts listed with them
but they're closed today so I couldn't call

go to a micro center early in the morning in wish they have a shipment

Mmmm
Most likely they won't have any
They get sent cards specifically for prebuilts

you can get a 2080 for 400$ on ebay
dont bother 400 for a 1660
wanton bronze
1660 supers are like 250 and I’m on a tight budget for these last few pieces
lone pond
2080 for 280
nvm its parts
okay well i suggest going for a 1070 or something its actually better than a 1660 super and for about the same price
bigger number does not always mean better performance
a 1080 is better than a 2060 overall maybe the ray tracing is tempting but not many games support ray tracing yet so no real point by the time a lot of games start supporting it 3060's will have dropped and you might as well get one then
lone pond
im thinking about going for a 2080
selling my 1070 and getting a 2080 as you can get around 250 for a 1070 right now

What are y’all’s opinions on the RX580 as a budget option?
tawny dirge
I personally think it's a very good budget options that's what a lot of my friends chose. It can handle a lot of games and decent settings not the best performance on triple a games but it's definitely up there for budget options of GPUs.
A GTX 1660 is also a great option roughly 9% more performance but slightly more expensive.

burnt parcel
can anyone help me undervolt?
copper mason
@burnt parcel For the 5800x, and all Ryzen CPU's, DO NOT change the voltage up or down. Doing so will sacrifice boost clocks or result in noisy inefficient operation.
If lowering volts, you will lose boost clock max speed and you can possibly (less likely) make it unstable.
If raising volts, you will lose boost clock duration and/or max speed due to heat issues.
The Ryzen processor has rather granular boost clocks and will kick up or down a notch, balancing current load VS the temperatures it's seeing (and also with how long you've been at specific boost clock wattage numbers).
I would recommend toying with the AMD Ryzen BOOST CURVE optimizer in the BIOS if you're to do anything like that.
The processor is good enough from the factory to not have a need for the voltage to be changed. Sure, you can try overclocking it, but it's often easier to just OC the memory and try there as that won't overheat on you.
For the RTX 3080 undervolting, look up a guide on youtube or on a tech website for that.
Some people will mention they had good luck messing with voltages on Ryzen - sure some have - others have not, but there's not enough to gain even if you have a Noctua D-15-S air-cooler, from doing so.

hello Bob
Howdy howdy, hope I didn't miss too much. Couldn't sleep, so ended up on here.
brisk flame
good to see you, haven't seen you here in a while
copper mason
Ah I've been here for short bits in the USA mid-day hours, but not very long. I've been busy trying to build an almost-GTA IV / GTA V class airport for my city map (for BeamNG Drive). It's been difficult and time consuming to say the least.
brisk flame
nice, I've been binge watching anime
we are both equally as productive, it seems
😋
copper mason
Good to see you also, @brisk flame
When I'm not here I'm working on my city map, or fixing up my house (there's ALWAYS something when you own a home).
brisk flame
well, I guess you got me beat productivity wise, and yeah, my dad is always doing major/minor home repair
copper mason
Keeping a house up to date by yourself as a handy-man, is a never-ending battle. It never is done. By the time you get half the house done up real nice everything else that's left needs renovating.
My father was like that when I was a kid. When I was 14 I had to hang the bedroom door on it's frame by myself if I wanted to have one, and so I did. It was warped and didn't have a knob, but if I could build my own computer, what's to say I couldn't put a door on.
Learn everything you can from your father, if only because it is FREE. It will help you later in life.
I only wish my dad had known computers back in the 90's when I was learning about them.
brisk flame
my dad used to make good use of me and my brothers flipping houses, I've learned lots lmao
and it's how I knew right away that construction was something I wanted to stay far away from career wise
copper mason
Hahaha, yeah, it can be fun if you get paid though. If you already know how to do it, that's half the battle over.
brisk flame
heh, paid
copper mason
Yes, well that's what I'm saying. Even building computers can be more fun if getting paid.
brisk flame
yeah, I live in a place where building computers as a business wouldn't work well
might have to move somewhere else in the future lol
copper mason
Building computers is not a sustainable business. Repairing them however is.
Repairing PC's and selling parts is a mainstay, building PC's isn't a long-term viability as-far as bringing the money in. Tech gets outmoded fast but not that fast.
Unless you're in downtown Tokyo or the biggest college in California, you will soon exhaust how many folks will want, or need (and who can afford) a new custom-built computer.
brisk flame
yeah, demonmit1 and bleach do this sort of thing, they seem to be doing well where they live for the time being.
lone pond
hey i am looking to upgrade my GPU and i want know what would be the best bang for the buck i would go for the two im looking at are the rx 5500xt 8gb or a rtx 2060
copper mason
If they're both 8gb models, the 2060 has RTX ability but not a meaningful amount that will make a huge difference in games. Get what you can afford, and what has best performance for the price (look up reviews, see what runs your favorite games the best).
Generally, if two identically priced GPU's are on the shelf, and one has 6gb VRAM and one has 8gb VRAM, always go for 8gb model if possible, if it's not meaningfully slower. @lone pond
@brisk flame yes, there are some lucrative markets out there, if you can cover a wide enough area and meaningfully support it yes. But I don't ever tell people to plan on going into business 'just building'. Otherwise, they'll be in for disappointment. Sales, Parts, and Service are the name of the game. Getting to build new PC's is just the fun part.
copper mason
Hooray, my 8k concrete texture is done and doesn't repeat like madness https://prnt.sc/wbdfop

and yes, yes I ran out of video memory doing this, again. swears and says lots of nasties about nVidia only having 8gb GPU's under 600$ grrr...
I would love a 16GB AMD GPU right now, I really, REALLY would. I'd speed the hour's drive to the brick and mortar department on two wheels and buy one, IF they had one, IF they had drivers that weren't CRASH-TASTICAL.

lone pond
So I learned today, if any of you have a 3090, DO NOT PLAY halo 2 on it
Friend was sharing his halo 2 when this happened, apparently there is a problem where if you play it on a 3090 it fries your card

fiery hound
just a confirmation...most graphics cards have their fans on the side of the PCB away from the CPU, right?
tender mulch
Yes
fiery hound
K. thanks. Trying to figure out how I want my intake fans installed
thinking this will give some pretty decent cool air right into both the cpu and gpu
fiery hound
Ah yeah, was just laying them out there. Guess the RGB aspect of these fans aren't going to do me much good.
fiery hound
Yeah. Maybe I'll use one as an exhaust on the back, pick up a couple plain janes for the intakes. Have enough RGB going on in that space anyways
tender mulch
Sounds good
fiery hound
Thanks for your help @tender mulch
tender mulch
If you're doing that, I'd recommend some kind of cross flow
IE, left to right or right to left
fiery hound
You're talking a fan on the wall opposite the motherboard?

I'm talking on the green wall maybe?
I think if you put two on the bottom as intake

At least not for a hole

I'd like to..will have to make one though. Probably won't at first, but will get it.

I wouldn't get a 2070 Armor
The cooler on that card is... not good.
And, I wouldn't get a 2070 unless it was a 2070 Super.
And, realistically I'd just wait for the 3060Ti to come back in stock and get that instead. It's just flat better than the 2070 Super.
Unless you can get a crazy deal (like, 300 or 400) for a 2070 Super, the 3060Ti is a better buy.

Streaming? Video editing?
Only gaming

For your purposes the Nvidia option seems like it would be the better pick with their feature set, however I will advice patience for there will be a 3080Ti launching in the next quarter which will have the same GPU die as the 3090, just a smaller memory bus and a slightly less memory for presumably around a grand

Right now i only got around 600 dollars in my bank account.

10400F and a decent B460 is like $230

This idea of pairing a 6100 with a 3070 makes me wonder if the psu you have would be enough for a 3070

Or a 10100F and a H410 is even lower, like $170. Both are decent combos

<@316323965855465482> my psu is EVGA 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX
Maybe get a 3060 ti instead?
spare salmon
Or if it comes out, the 6700/XT? Or just go used and get a 20 series or 10 series, or Navi GPU
tender mulch
that CPU needs replaced before a modern GPU
spare salmon
Hmm I kinda wanna know the whole list just so we can know what can be reused for his next build
tender mulch
Essentially, nothing if they want a 3000 series GPU
It will need PSU, RAM, CPU, Motherboard and GPU
spare salmon
So far, new CPU, new mobo, new RAM, new PSU...
Case is probably old too. Storage can probably stay tho
tender mulch
Yeah, depending on the case, GPU may not fit
spare salmon
Unless he doesn’t have an SSD yet lol
tender mulch
Measurements need to be taken
spare salmon
Indeed. I mean with $600, he can get a decent new build, just not one with a 30 series GPU
tender mulch
Mmmm
if only $600 is in bank account, shouldn't be buying a whole lot
Save a bit more
New GPU's just around the corner
Everything right now is overpriced or hard to get
spare peak
there was a thing earlier today on ebay at like 5 am where some 3060's were being sold for $600
stone wraith
@tender mulch my check is coming thats why im doing this
@spare salmon I got an SSD
tender mulch
I understand that. But waiting a little bit will bring lower priced GPU's so you can upgrade everything that you need to
spare salmon
Yeah as it stands, we wouldn’t recommend shooting for a 30 series until you have a build that can properly support it
spare salmon
So just keep saving up, and consider the $155 Intel Core i5 10400F as a budget gaming CPU option. It’s better than the 3600 in that regard btw

how do i reinstall it, though? im sorry i dont build pcs i have a laptop lol

it will just uninstall the radeon app and drivers completely. you just need to reinstall the drivers/app again by downloading the appropriate drivers at https://www.amd.com/en/support
spare salmon
Just uninstalls all parts of the app. U can reinstall it manually from the AMD website
lone pond
oh mk

Just the app and any drivers that have been installed I mean. Just so some hidden stuff doesn’t remain

DDU is an app that will delete the app and registry associated with it so you can install the drivers/app fresh

From your parts list it looks like your budget is about 900 dollars so I would probably go 10400 and like 5600xt or something
strong slate

@cloud laurel I'd pair a 10100 with a 1650S, not a 3070.
Spend more on the CPU
and not so much on the GPU
else your experience wont be that great
hybrid kettle
Unless you are only playing like csgo
wicked hound
not really, csgo is a CPU heavy game technically speaking (more in terms of single thread)

Since someone else asked can I get some advice? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BgZ9nL I bought these parts minus the 3080 ofc and wondering if I should swap any parts?
hybrid kettle
Oh well
wicked hound
it'd be better to get like a 5600x and some not so great GPU
ftw3 is something to avoid
bad PCB, likes to fail more often then others
hybrid kettle
Instead of 2 sata ssds maybe replacing one with a m.2 one for your os
wicked hound
idk, for standard use most are fine. I'd stay away from Ventus and ftw3. Other then that, probs do whatever you want
ftw3 might get some fix soon I hope, cuz pcb quality is good with exception of failure issues
Strix is best quality, TUF is very good
MSI Trio has a not so great PCB but good vBIOS compatibility from 3p power. So can easily flash 450w vBIOS
delicate junco
Hmm alright thanks that actually helps a lot!
wicked hound
oh yeah, also, get QHD 144Hz
stone wraith
Guys is the i3 10100 compatible with H170A PC MATE?

arctic phoenix
@stone wraith no
stone wraith
@arctic phoenix can you recommend a motherboard that is suitable for rtx 3070 and i3 10100?
If that is fine with you
wicked hound
none, because as I said, that is a poor choice of parts
if you want a 10100, get a 1650S. If you want a 3070, get a R5 3600 min
green harness
What are your thoughts on the rx 6800 Hei? Compared to the 3070 ofc, assuming MSRP/near-MSRP pricing
stone wraith
Making a pc is so complicated omg.
arctic phoenix
cpu should be i5-10400 or ryzen 3600
stone wraith
Ima just stick to the orignal build that i planned
wicked hound
If looking into raster and ignoring DLSS/RTX, pretty good. Otherwise, it's kinda meh? I'd say if it's a GPU you're going to keep for quite some time go 3070 cuz of DLSS/RTX. If you're keeping it for 1.5yrs, maybe 2 (kinda seems to be stretching it), and dont care too much about RTX, then 6800 might not be that bad
Tho once DLSS really gets some adoption (and RTX), 6800 wont be that nice
Or once AMD gets their "DLSS" out, but that seems to be next gen or smth. As their "DLSS" coming out soon-ish isnt even close to DLSS quality
stone wraith
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZJdLp2
This is my build that im planning. According to one of my family members, who has this build, it works with no issues. But everyone here saying it trash. Rip my braincells
green harness
Hmmm, I'm planning for a 1440p/144hz build once I can either snag a 5600x and a GPU. I don't feel like ray tracing is really there for me at the moment, though I wouldn't mind trying it in a game or two. I would probably want to hold onto a card for 3 years or so. I'd been leaning 6800, but now you're making me reconsider 😀
arctic phoenix
just fix a couple things
wicked hound
@stone wraith With a 2 core/4 thread CPU, I wouldnt go more then a RX570. The CPU needs a lot more perf to handle a 3070. What you need to do is upgrade the CPU (and the motherboard due to limitations of what CPUs are allowed on that motherboard) and the RAM
green harness
I think you can get a MUCH better cpu for $180 than a 6100
stone wraith
<@!281598592861601792> With a 2 core/4 thread CPU, I wouldnt go more then a RX57...
@wicked hound idk anymore tbh. My cousins says it works with 3070 no issue.
My head is fried at this point rips
stone wraith
Also that, CPU is old and EOL, thus overpriced
@wicked hound stable budget
wicked hound
well, technically yes, it'll work - but your FPS will suffer immensely as the CPU cannot keep up with the GPU.
arctic phoenix
stone wraith
People say that i3 10100 or i3 9100 is recommended for an rtx 3070. Idk about the motherboard tho
wicked hound
also what does "stable budget" mean to you? That is a subjective term. I cannot read your mind and know your life style and irl situations. Ya need to be more specific
arctic phoenix
thats not very important
wicked hound
To be more specific on what they said, they said they'd get a 10100 or 9100 over a 6100. Not that it was a good choice for a 3070
green dew
cpu bottleneck isn't fun
wicked hound
I more or less remember their message
arctic phoenix
ok that makes much more sense
arctic phoenix
@stone wraith take a look at my list
wicked hound
@arctic phoenix I ideally would try sending 3600 lists or getting 2666 very low CL RAM. I'd say most people dont know how to get timings to be very low for 2666 by default. Thus need XMP ones
cuz you know, Intel locked RAM
wicked hound
@stone wraith remember that the GPU price isnt included, so budget is about $1200
@arctic phoenix hope so, Intel really making themselves a bad way to go with locked RAM. It's almost the only reason I cant say to go Intel usually
