if i were to run 2 hd5450's in the same pc at once , would they both output the same image? or would it work seperately, each with their own load, and be able to run 4 monitors combined?
livid idol
They'd run independently, since they don't support crossfire
Windows would set which one is the "main" monitor out of the 4 and the rest are just extended desktops
I'd only ever use those cards in a text based server tbh, 512 MB to 1 GB vram... 1080p x2 each will work but don't expect much
upper sinew
Yeah I wanted to run multiple tv screens for advertising, essentially all it does is extend the desktop?
coarse spindle
Well
It would just be easier to get an adapter right
Most tvs have hdmi and vga
Use one hdmi and one vga
Or just convert the other tv’s hdmi to dvi or vga and use the other with plain hdmi
And just go into display properties and mirror displays
Just run it on one card

You can easily run two monitors each off of each 5450, or just pick up something like an rx470/480/570/580 or anything in those model lines and you can run 4+ 4k monitors off of one card

@delicate hazel yikes. That is a really good card should not be doing that. Roll back drivers, and maybe check MSI afterburner and heat

Don’t undermine AMD! You will get better FPS, just maybe no RTX. Still great cards

If so, don't use that
Userbench also includes heavily overclocked and modified cards.

Yeah I was told I'd get close to 100 in warzone but struggle for 60 at this point
tender mulch
100 FPS in warzone with a 980ti?
mmmmm
WHoever told you that is kinda full of it
It'll do 100 FPS in GTAV but that's an old game

Also, I believe Warzone is also heavily CPU dependent

So is the 40-60 range what i should be expecting to get? Or is that still a bit low?
delicate hazel
Alright thanks
tender mulch
Unless you're out in the woods somewhere where there are no buildings/less things to render, then it will go up. 80-100FPS there but when the poo hits the fan in fights, FPS goes down a bit

So is it true 3080 is 12% better than 6800 xt?

Depending on the game, resolution and specific card models, generally ~10% or so yes. maybe more or less

What do y'all think about the sapphire pulse RX 580 8g?
As you know none of us can get our hands on a graphics cards for a decent price and I know this is an older card but my son's friend has a brand new one and he said he'll sell it to me I'm thinking that I'm going to get it just because I want to play and it's the only one I can get my hands on but what do you think a decent price would be I was thinking around 150-200 since originally it was only about $300 and it's about a 3 year old piece
I won't be playing fortnite or anything like that I'll just be playing games like genschen impact, Don't starve. My son may play fortnite but I'm not sure and if it won't work for fortnite it's not a big deal because he has an Xbox I just need some help here whether this is worth getting or not

Should a gtx 1650 be outperforming the 980ti?

@wraith harbor yeah id say you should get it, the games that you mentioned aren't really demanding + it's still a strong gpu despite it's age.

i dont think so @delicate hazel
tender mulch
Should a gtx 1650 be outperforming the 980ti?
No
1650 super will be closer than 1650 but still now
*no
daring bluff
yeah the 980ti is still a beast card
delicate hazel
Odd cause me and my friend have the same cpu, but I have the 980ti and he has the 1650 and he's getting consistent 80+ frames
daring bluff
maybe it's overclocked or he uses less heavy settings?
wraith harbor
@daring bluff thank you. If it was not Corona scalper time and it was just your average day how much do you think would be a decent price for that I don't want to lowball him because he's my son's friend but I'm not going to overpay for an older piece that I'm going to replace as soon as I have one available anyways
I really don't know a whole lot this is my first build
delicate hazel

I tried on minimum warzone settings and didn't really see much of a difference

@wraith harbor id say 150$ is a good price and since it's your first build i wouldn't recommend getting a better gpu for now, the rx 580 is a great entry level card and is worth every $, btw what cpu are you pairing it with?
wraith harbor
@daring bluff I have the ryzen 5 3600 ,MSI b450 tomahawk and vengeance Corsair 16 GB

@late steppe I mean look at the 10 series the 1050 wasn’t released until 4 months later than the start of launch and that’s with no shortages.
I reckon the 3050 will have similar performance to a 2060 so depending on if things are announced or not, it might be worth going for a 2060 in March/April when they’re being resupplied.

Considering you could sell the 2070 for $600+, possibly up to $1000, and msrp of the 5900X is $549, I think at today's prices the person getting the GPU is getting the better deal
That could change next month, or even next week

hey @bitter bear you should get some cards in stock that aren't 3 years old XD
wanna see something In stock that isn't a rx 570 XD
lone pond
yeah but no 5000 series cards from amd are their either lol
tender mulch
Not sure if those were discontinued TBH, I should check that
lone pond
kinda sad to see the market so outta wack for gpus rn that people have to resort to buying 570s and 980 ti cards , miners and scalpers are making it really hard to even get last year's cards
throw a 1060 3gb card into it, good 1080p card for 60+ fps and you can pick them up for 80$-120$
Super. Thank you.
np
tender mulch
throw a 1060 3gb card into it, good 1080p card for 60+ fps and you can pick them...
Nay. That old board is PCI-E gen 2
Gonna restrict a modern GPU
lone pond
not by too much
tender mulch
Also, that CPU was released in 2008
It's not gonna do well with modern games at all
lone pond
my first build was a 1060 3gb card with a i5 2400 and it preformed well
tender mulch
Well
The i5 2400 is light years ahead of the old i7 920
Maybe not light years but
still
Point is, that system isn't worth investing into when a 10100 will smoke it at everything
lone pond
yes but at least he would be able to play games at 60 fps on medium with the cpu bottle neck and it's a good card if he can get ahold of a 4770k
tender mulch
4770k won't work in that board
lone pond
if he's going super budget build and yes i know that but boards for them are a dime a dozen
tender mulch
If they're going to buy a new CPU and motherboard, may as well make it a good one
lone pond
if he invested say 200-300 bucks into a 4770k , a board , and a 1060 he would be set for 1080p medium gaming over 60fps
It’s cool. I’m just going to do a new build. This was a 2011 build and it’s just too old to work on anything on today’s standards.
I want to do a good build.
4770k is still a good budget cpu even to today's standards
tender mulch
10400 will beat out that 4770K. Even a 10100 might No point in investing in older hardware.
lone pond
yeah but those are 100$+ cpus
tender mulch
So?
lone pond
you can pickup a 4770k for 40 bucks
if he's going good but budget build then a 6600k or a 4770k isn't a bad option
lone pond
not particularly no compared to today's parts but it's still a good 1080p machine if your trying to game under 400 bucks
tender mulch
$300 plus a used $100 GPu that will smoke a 4770K with an upgrade path in the future for $400. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JXNfrr
lone pond
I don't typically support buying new parts much but yes in your side buying new is always the best option if you can afford it but alot of people can't so if you wanna get into your first pc build , doing a 4770k or 6600k build with a 1060 card isn't a bad option by any means if your doing it on a low budget , I never had the ability to pay 500+ on upgrading a rig till I was about 18 19 years old , and if a 16 year old kid has say 400 bucks to try to make a build then what I said is perfectly within reason
tender mulch
I don't typically support buying new parts much but yes in your side buying new ...
I just did new within your budget
with more performance
lone pond
before scalping happened I bet lol
lone pond
you can pickup a used one outta someone's prebuilt for around 80-120$
lone pond
okay and those cpus are extremely hard to find in my area lol
and like i said I don't buy new parts much , I did and ordered a cpu and board from newegg and the cpu was doa twice lol so I buy used and test my hardware before buying
plus tbh I don't use Intel anymore either, I went ryzen about a year ago and have had less stability issues and driver issues despite people saying otherwise lol if you can find me a cheap amd build I'm extremely interested in seeing one for under 700 bucks that's worth it cause I'm running a 3600 and a 5500xt 8gb card with 16gb of ram at 3200mhz and would love a upgrade for under 700 bucks that includes a new gpu cpu and board
green harness
New parts also come with a warranty, which adds a lot of value tbh.
Also that cpu is available on Amazon. Could even get it used for $100
stone wraith
The rtx cards coming back in stock on the 25th?
green harness
The 25th is when the 3060 releases. RTX 30X0 series are dropped fairly quickly but sell out quickly. Due to shortages these GPUs aren't staying in stock anywhere really
Newegg is using a shuffle system for GPUs, so check that out (basically a raffle/lottery, no buy in cost)
stone wraith
Oh dang. Isnt the 3060 gonna be around $800+ ?
rapid imp
$330.
stone wraith
Its cheaper than ti version...
rapid imp
Not for long.
rapid imp
Welcome to the brawl.
gritty notch
if he invested say 200-300 bucks into a 4770k , a board , and a 1060 he would be...
wrong lol
10100 whips 4770k
and might as well not stick yourself on a dead socket
lone pond
once again it's personal preference, please don't @ me again for rn I'm at work lol and I don't wanna have my phone keep going off and get yelled at
gritty notch
its not personal preference you are just objectively wrong
lowest end viable cpu in new socket beats best cpu in old socket
for the same overall price
lone pond
price to performance isn't far off as I can get a 4770k or 6600k for around 60 bucks
lone pond
I disagree
gritty notch
i dont care what you think
im just telling you where the industry is going
and its a good idea to be able to upgrade
vs be stuck on 4c8t
lone pond
neither do I lol and sure that's why their still making 4c4t cpus XD dueces bruh I got work to do
rapid imp
No use trying to upstart a techie.
gritty notch
theyre making them because they need something to do with the bad yeilds
tender mulch
Justifying spending money on old tech with no upgrade path is oof
gritty notch
there are zero people telling anyone to get a 4c4t cpu right now
but its clear you have literally zero idea how any of this actually works
do you think they just throw away the poor yields?
lone pond
that's why one of the most common used cpu up until 2020 was a 6600k XD I'm dead , plus alot of cpus that are newer that me and my friends have gotten off newegg have been doa from factory XD looks like quality is going down in the new coming of cpus , that's why amd is coming back into reality slowly as a better option
gritty notch
tender mulch
that's why one of the most common used cpu up until 2020 was a 6600k XD I'm dead...
Not really. Your facts are skewed.
gritty notch
cant logic someone out of a position they didnt logic themselves into
same reason why drive speed didnt really matter up to now
almost like the industry like
changes or something
pallid marten
im really tryna get the 3070ti
lone pond
lol more like people buy new parts to show how fat their wallets are XD rather then buying something at a decent price for relatively exceptional performance such as building a pc with a 6600k and yes @tender mulch vintage 6600k was one of the top used cpus used for the past 6 years , 3dmark ,linus , gamer nexus , and Austin all have either said or or showed facts on lol

Guys anybody has an idea on when will the 1660 ti become available for the price that it should cost? (not 900 usd which is currently how much it cost)
Cuz honestly prices are high af atm
livid idol
None of us can know the future 🤷♂️
You're better off buying new right now
But NOT from scalpers, please no.
karmic crag
is nvidia selling the 3060 on their own site?
lone pond
None of us can know the future 🤷♂️
You're better off buying new right now
I won't buy it from scalpers
livid idol
Nvidia said no FE version for the new 3060, so probably not
lone pond
But probably not now cuz I don't feel like paying three times the price
livid idol
If you are fast/lucky you can get it for current retail price (which is still over msrp but for other reasons)
flat timber
I'm just glad I managed to snag a new 3070 on the lower end of the price spectrum here.
minor temple
I've been trying to get a 3070 since November
inland hound
Shuffle is your best bet
flat timber
I've been trying to get a 3070 since November
Damn that sucks. I had a saved shopping cart online with my local shop, just kept checking when 3070 stock came in and snagged one. Only had to wait a week.
merry siren
Well I'm sure a 3060 and Ti are stronger. And lower MSRP.
If it ain't your only GPU, I'd say sure, go for it.
But, since GPUs are horrible getting for near MSRP and availability right now, I'd say keep it.
kind jungle
any 1660's for msrp?!?
elfin parrot
I bought a 3070 for $750. You think I should sell it for $800 and just try my luck for next best buy drop?
haughty glacier
any 1660's for msrp?!?
No brand new gpu is at msrp. Everyone is just more willing to get it even on higher pricing, and so many retailers knows it that's why they are able to take more
Unless the stock normalise and gets handled well, then it'll go down with it
tender mulch
Tariffs. One those go away, prices go back to original MSRP
elfin parrot
so I should just keep my gpu?>
I really want a 3080 fe though
how much cash would be reasonable if I were to trade my 3070 fe and cash for a 3080?
tender mulch
Ah, those are Tariff exempt BUT only available through Best Buy
nothing more than MSRP
livid idol
Thoughts?
Depending on the model you might be able to get more for it on ebay, I've seen up to $800 this week
And that's for the regular, non-super non-ti
wicked blaze
Does anyone know when the 3060 ti might restock :/
daring tusk
the case is what ive been waiting for everything i had prior just built this today

Yeah after you put thermal pads between the backplate and VRAM.
Yeah I know that, but I mean with the stock ones
livid idol
Hells I'd take that deal
nimble hemlock
Thanks for the name change, I was about to ask whoever did that
tender mulch
No because Gigabyte cheaped out and didn't use thermal pads.
livid idol
I'm ok with modding it a little for a free upgrade lol
nimble hemlock
No because Gigabyte cheaped out and didn't use thermal pads.
They did use thermal pads, they're just trash
tender mulch
From what I have read, there are thermal pads on the back but not on the VRAM. "So, there are thermal pads on the back of the GPU, the back of some resistors, and the back of some caps. None on the back of the VRAM. "
nimble hemlock
I've watched deconstructions of the card, there are thermal pads
tender mulch
Right but not on the VRAM. Entire reddit thread dedicated to that card, all saying none on the VRAM but on other components. IDK, maybe they changed it?
Some as little as 23 days ago
Yes, the VRAM is on the front but it still gets hot
One of the mod assists here was mining with it and the VRAM was hitting 110C
Adding thermal pads to the back of the card where the VRAM is and making contact with the backplate brought it down to 73C if I remember right
Like this:
jolly ember
am I the only one who has a gtx 260 ? :)
lone pond
idk
nimble hemlock
I really want the card, but redoing the thermal pads seems like such a pain
lone pond
One of the mod assists here was mining with it and the VRAM was hitting 110C
sips was using vision
but yeah
Also bestbuy unloaded their PS5 stock
GPU restock is likely today

I currently have the GTX 1050 and I was wondering if it would be smart to switch to the new RTX 3060 before the price gets too high?
glad galleon
I currently have the GTX 1050 and I was wondering if it would be smart to switch...
Is it really gonna get higher tho?
spice mulch
Is it really gonna get higher tho?
Most likely
glad galleon
Oh, I thought if anything that the price would go down
rapid imp
Someone here said the 3060, in theory, is comparable to the 2070 Super. So I had to look into whatever specs are available for the 3060.
glad galleon
In terms of performance??
rapid imp
Hard to say without hard data at the moment.
All I'm getting is transistors, GFLOPS, fillrate and such.
glad galleon
Wait you are building a gpu
rapid imp
Getting at, not getting.
tender mulch
Just tech specs that have been publicly released
rapid imp
And from what's publicly surfaced, most of its specs don't have an advantage over the 2070 Super.
spice mulch
And they are said to sell out really fast
glad galleon
Dude they already did
spice mulch
Someone here said the 3060, in theory, is comparable to the 2070 Super. So I ha...
The RTX 2070 is $500!
rapid imp
I know.
spice mulch
that's because it's been discontinued
For the 2070?
rapid imp
That and the Super.
tender mulch
Yeah, nVidia disontinued those and the 2080 back in July
spice mulch
Oh
glad galleon
The smart thing to do would be to focus all production on the 30 series cards
spice mulch
Then why are they so much
glad galleon
Because of the quarantine gaming craze
tender mulch
because they aren't being made any more
glad galleon
That too
tender mulch
Any time something gets discontinued the price goes up
spice mulch
Hmmm...
tender mulch
And demand
glad galleon
Especially if the newer product isn’t in stock
Typically the discontinued item gets overshadowed by whatever is new
But all the 30 series is sold out
spice mulch
So back to the original question, I currently have the GTX 1050 and I am looking into the RTX 3060 is it a smart move?
tender mulch
Depends on the rest of your system but yeah
spice mulch
No not the TI just the 3060
glad galleon
The question is whether or not you can get your hands on one
spice mulch
True that
glad galleon
No not the TI just the 3060
There is only the ti
rapid imp
Not yet.
tender mulch
Make sure your power supply is up to spec also. It will take more power than a 1050
spice mulch
I'm only talking about the one that isn't released
rapid imp
The 3060 has lesser specs than the TI, but has 12gigs of memory.
Supposedly for the production hounds.
glad galleon
I see
hard otter
Halo im new
rapid imp
I'd love to have a 3070 with 12 gigs. Maybe someday they will.

So should I get it?
hard otter
Do you need help with anything or something
can you introduce a little bit
glad galleon
Wdym
tender mulch
What are you asking for?
glad galleon
So should I get it?
Yes, if possible. Although you should keep in mind the rest of your system because idk about that.
spice mulch
Well I want to build a new system mine is almost 4 yo
rapid imp
Do you know your wattage of your power supply unit, TnT?
If it's at least 550w, you should be fine.
tender mulch
ahhh, if it's new def go for it
glad galleon
Well I want to build a new system mine is almost 4 yo
I think you should do a complete upgrade then
spice mulch
Yeah that's what I'm thinking about
rapid imp
A good GPU shouldn't be bottlenecked by a weak CPU. 3DMark informed me on that.
rapid imp
Got an achievement that says my i5-6600k is holding me back from the 1070.
glad galleon
For the 3060
spice mulch
Should I get the i9-9900
rapid imp
$329.
tender mulch
3dMark isn't a good test for that.
rapid imp
But other models will be sold, and they won't be by that price.
glad galleon
Should I get the i9-9900
Yea go with intel because of AMD price inflation
rapid imp
3dMark isn't a good test for that.
Maybe, but the Bottleneck Calculator site also corroborated that as fact.
glad galleon
But if you can get a 5000 series processor then they are much better than intel
tender mulch
Maybe, but the Bottleneck Calculator site also corroborated that as fact.
Also garbage
tender mulch
There's a reason we are techies
rapid imp
Not that it matters, I got a 5600x and the bottlenecks are no longer an issue for me.
At least on the CPU side.
spice mulch
So I should get the i9-9900 and if possible the RTX 3060
rapid imp
Go for the overclocked K model if you can.
karmic crag
So I should get the i9-9900 and if possible the RTX 3060
vintage is right, you probably shouldn't get a 9th gen chip
spice mulch
vintage is right, you probably shouldn't get a 9th gen chip
Then what should I get
rapid imp
Either an i7-10700k (8c/16t) or an 19-10850k (10c/20t).
The former will lose you $350 on average.
But you have to get a motherboard with a LGA1200 socket to use them.
tender mulch
You could save a bit on the PSU and get a slightly better quality unit. https://www.amazon.com/Segotep-Supply-Certified-Gaming-Fully-Modular/dp/B0832F6NS8
Otherwise looks fine
Also consider an aftermarket CPU cooler
stone wraith
My cousin gifted me the psu

It's not required but the stock coolers aren't the best
tender mulch
My cousin gifted me the psu
in that case, nevermind

it only allows that much fps on screen?
