fun how CAN direct never has CPUs, only GPUs
stone obsidian
Would it be worth just buying a pre-built computer at this point?
tired sparrow
Aren't those seeing delays?
stone obsidian
Idk
azure eagle
Whatever works for your purpose I guess
stone obsidian
I definitely don't want to just wait for a 3080 but I want something that is on par with a 3060ti or 3070
rapid valley
anyone looking for a 6800?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Geforce-6800/203302794194?hash=item2f55ca73d2:g:ePIAAOSw7tBgSkZa
honest turret
asus
stone obsidian
ok so other than the 5900x whats another good ryzen cpu under that?
stone obsidian
I really want to make my PC and wouldnt mind waiting down the line when the GPus and CPus are easier to get tbh
but I cant justify buying a 20 series card
vital pivot
I agree. But it could take several months before hardware is easy to purchase
stone obsidian
yeah unfortunetly
I guess im stuck with my laptop
dont get me wrong its not awful. It has a 1050 ti and an intel 7
but I really want to stream but Im unable to do that properly with my laptop
wicked hound
you can with nvenc
stone obsidian
whats that?
wicked hound
built in video encoder on nvidia GPUs
stone obsidian
how am I able to access that?
wicked hound
This is for OBS, lot of streaming programs have it
stone obsidian
oh ok nice
oh btw can you help me with obs? Im trying to sign back in after switching accounts but its only letting me put in a stream key and not actually log in to twitch
if i put the stream key in it doesnt let me use the chat dock
stone obsidian
yeah that button disappeared after I switches accounts on OBS
stone obsidian
yeah thats the only way I found out if it works but that would be a pain to keep having to do
I have a second account for testing my streams
so id be signing out a lot
wicked hound
after connecting and disconnecting my account it reappears for me
make sure OBS is updated is all I can say
stone obsidian
thats weird
ill check it
what is an extrenal media card reader?
I assume maybe a capture card or something?
it just looks like a little usb stick
wicked hound
to plug in (micro/mini) SD cards
stone obsidian
oh ok I see
so Im looking on ibuypower and it says that its able to preorder gpus?
but with a 4 week lead time
im not sure what that means
I assume it means id have to wait 4 weeks to get it?
the only downside is that its all nvidia and no other manufactures
wicked hound
4 weeks until they get it, build it, and get it ready. Then extra time for shipping and such.
I think
stone obsidian
oh ok
so I might just get a prebuilt
saves me the stress of having to log onto their website and click a ton for an hour lol
so I just transferred the build I had on pc part picker to ibuypower
https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/AMD-Ryzen-9-Configurator/W/1414060
I think this looks good
not exactly sure why anyone would change the audio card but apparently its an option
stone obsidian
what other vendors should I try?
im not fully aware of where to go for prebuilt stuff thats reliable
what about cyberpower or digital storm?
vital pivot
You have.
Pugentsystems, originpc, xoticpc, digital storm, cyber power, clxgaming xidax
Google boutique pc builder
Newegg also sells several prebuilt PCs
stone obsidian
is that what u recommend?
rapid valley
@stone obsidian whats your budget again?
stone obsidian
I think I had it at like 3500 or something
stone obsidian
I have a build on pc part picker that someone helped me with but I wanted to try and transfer it to a prebuilt
vital pivot
Honestly all of them can provide a top of the line unit with either AMD of Intel platforms with a 3080 or 6800xt for that budget
rapid valley
can do 👍
stone obsidian
thanks
I dont have the time or patience for trying to win a spot for a gpu or cpu lol
I work 3 jobs and its hell
vital pivot
Cookies look for the builder that has the most free upgrades and discounts. Most of them offer a discount coupon just for signing up.
rapid valley
yeah
stone obsidian
oh yeah I forgot about those
I saw that ibuypower had some but you mentioned they arent that great
I saw a reddit post for it as well and they had minor issues like unplugged cables or shipping problems
vital pivot
I buy power likes to use motherboards that have reduced features then retail and you have to get bios updates directly from them.
rapid valley
they dont have 3080 in stock but 6800xt basically just as good
vital pivot
6800xt is better then a 3080 unless you want RTX
rapid valley
6800xt is better then a 3080 unless you want RTX
well dlss
stone obsidian
they dont have 3080 in stock but 6800xt basically just as good
so how different is radeon vs nvidia in terms of the UI and how easy it is to use it?
rapid valley
but they should have it soon
stone obsidian
ive never used a radeon before
rapid valley
so how different is radeon vs nvidia in terms of the UI and how easy it is to us...
same pretty much
vital pivot
Dlss is great if your game supports it.
stone obsidian
whats that?
rapid valley
deep learning super sampling
i think
yeah thats right
it just gives you more fps
stone obsidian
oh ok well I wont have to worry about that then lol
so compared to the build I had on PC part picker this is just as good then?
inland hound
it just gives you more fps
either that or makes your game look better, as far as resolution goes
or both
rapid valley
so compared to the build I had on PC part picker this is just as good then?
yeah its just as good if not better
rapid valley
well your list didnt have a ssd so its much better
stone obsidian
ive been waiting for almost 2 years trying to get a bwtter PC and with the whole shortage id rather leave it up to someone else to get the parts for me lol
stone obsidian
well your list didnt have a ssd so its much better
it didnt have one since I already own one
rapid valley
it didnt have one since I already own one
makes sense
rapid valley
dont think you can remove the ssd from the build
wait yes you cna
do you want me to remove the ssd
wait no i cant
stone obsidian
I mean I have my current ssd in my laptop
stone obsidian
lmao
I plan on keeping the laptop and maybe using it as a server hosting PC
idk tho yet
rapid valley
I plan on keeping the laptop and maybe using it as a server hosting PC
that'd be an interesting indea
stone obsidian
ive had friends do it for minecraft or ark survival and its better than renting a server
only issue is idk how to do it but its always an option if I figure it out lol
rapid valley
ive had friends do it for minecraft or ark survival and its better than renting ...
yeah i would want to do that but liuke idk
tender rapids
I made someone and offer on an evga 3080 on ebay
inland hound
how much?
tender rapids
they wrote me back saying that their 2300$ gpu would sell and i should be more aggressive with my offer
inland hound
heh
tender rapids
sureeee
inland hound
they probably arent wrong is the sad thing
tender rapids
they may not be
but i like my $$$ more than their gpu
Im just glad i got my 5900x in that madess this morning
at least i can use my old gpu until i find a decent price for one
rapid valley
is the 580 or 1650 better
spare relic
Yes
rapid valley
ook
spare relic
580 is better than a 1650, 1650 super is about the same
wicked hound
but also nvenc so 1650S nicer
steel smelt
Won the ASrock 6700xt priced at 685, anyone got any links to reviews or if it's worth picking up? Looking into it now.
inland hound
this is release day
but that seems like a bit much for a 6700 XT
I would get it if you have an old card or no card
steel smelt
I would get it if you have an old card or no card
rocking a R9 270X (8GB) lol it's my backup card since my 1660 died to a power surge last month.
tender rapids
do the 6000xt cards have ray tracing?
coarse spindle
well
they technically do
just not very well
leagues off from rtx 20-series perf
I am a longtime AMD supporter but the 6700 is a failure in my book
tender rapids
I was looking at the 6800 and 6900xt
tender rapids
the sapphire nitro+
coarse spindle
but for me the features of the nvidia cards draw me towards them
tender rapids
yeah, i wish i could find at least a halfway decent price
coarse spindle
but if you dont need the features the AMD is more powerful
tender rapids
what features exactly
coarse spindle
screen recording and RTX as well as tensor cores are the big ones
coarse spindle
AMD cards will prob come down sooner
but remember that etherium is at near end of life
and once crypto crashes GPUs are cheap and plentiful
aah, I remember the 10-series glory days
tender rapids
etherium?
coarse spindle
its the big crypto these days
tender rapids
ah, haven't heard of it
I'll just use my ol faithful 1060
till i snag an msrp evga card
coarse spindle
still a very relevant card
and EVGA are always good
I like AMD... but I would regret not having RTX options easy
tender rapids
that or the asus rog one
tender rapids
Those are my 2 main choices
coarse spindle
unless you NEED the cooling most cards in the same price range for AIBs preform within a couple fps
in a perfect world I would love to be that selective
tender rapids
Well i like evga and asus woukd just mach my stuff
coarse spindle
but RN whatever u get is lucky
tender rapids
true, but i am a very picky person
😂
I notice they dont have many rtx cards on shuffle lately
mostly radeon stuff
unborn sedge
I'm getting a loudish constant high pitched whine from my 3060Ti FE, no matter the load. I've narrowed it down to the right fan (furthest from I/O) as manually stopping that fan with a finger stops the whine.
What are my options? Am I doomed to constant headaches whenever near my PC?

Hm. I'm not sure whether my phone captures it actually.

unborn sedge
This is the spectrum:
I am indeed in the "Hauts-de-France" region of baguette, meaning literally "high France". So that would explain it.
vital pivot
It could be dust in the fan.
stone obsidian
all french people are high
tender rapids

unborn sedge
Maybe? It's pretty much brand new and there's barely any dust inside the case thanks to the dust filters.

So. Yeah ship it to me. I’ll fix it and um yeah ship it back.

can anyone recommend a vr headset?
tender rapids
or try a small dash of some oik for the bearing
vital pivot

unborn sedge
So. Yeah ship it to me. I’ll fix it and um yeah ship it back.
Ok, but you gotta pay me three times the price of the card for shipping.
unborn sedge
I love my Rift S but it'll be facebookened soon. Looking out for the DecaGear.

is the quest viable?
unborn sedge
3 in 1 ptfe lube works well
Do you think WD-40 would be problematic? I have some of that 👀
vital pivot

unborn sedge
Quest spies on you for Zucc
tender rapids
id just be afraid the spray will get on the pcb
unless you remove the shroud
spray and clean
vital pivot
@unborn sedge DO NOT use WD40
unborn sedge
But if you're fine with that you can stream PC games to it wirelessly. The comfort is bad in my experience but lenses and tracking are good.
vital pivot
Normal WD-40 attracts dust
tender rapids
mhm
unborn sedge
What's nice is we just got confined today + all stores closed, and shipping in France is pecking stupid.

Time to cry... I tried to get 6700xt and right before I pushed purchase it sold out.

I've genuinely never used RTX. Barely any game I play supports it and even then it doesn't look that good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rest of them have 1660s and up
I hoped to get a 6700xt cause I was gonna sell my 5700xt to my buddy with the rx 550
unborn sedge
oof

He gets like 40 fps on cold war
My other buddy's pc specs don't match with his gpu lol.
He's running 32gb ram and a ryzen 5 5600x with rx 580

junior copper
i run it at 30fps low
junior copper
i cannot maximize my cpu usage tho
inland hound
dont know what it is about it but Cold War likes good CPUs
junior copper
right?
tender mulch
Bottleneck, eh. Depends on the game how much CPU you use
Valheim uses 15% of CPU, other games use 80
junior copper
im tryna get a way to maxcimeze my cpu usage
tender mulch
The game will do that on it's own
inland hound
Valheim uses 15% of CPU, other games use 80
arent the new COD games notorious for CPU usage?
tender mulch
It will use as much as it needs
inland hound
he has a R5 2600 and he using 20%
junior copper
tried overclocking but only could do +.2 ghz
tender mulch
Doesn't matter, you can't force software to use more CPU if it doesn't need it. It will use what it needs.

i have a gtx 770 broke boi

Yep

cpu and gpu wise, 75-80 is the acceptable avg temps of it on load
livid idol
For cpu yes up to 80 is normal range, gpu can go higher up to 90 and still be called safe.
Most cpu don't throttle until over 80-85, with safety shutoff around 95+. The gpu can go about 10 higher at all those points.

Depends on budget and for what types of games but if you only want to play light games 1660 super is good
But not the ones that are going for 400+

yeah i’m running pretty light games, just wanna hit 60+

if you did do 30 series 3060ti is only viable

Tbh good luck finding a decent gpu atm but something like an rx 580/ 1650 super/ 1660 super/ rtx 2060 would probs be in that range whichever is cheapest tbh

Software update . Yes

does the new radeon gpus have dlss?
Radeon will not get DLSS but an AMD alternative, so we don’t know how good it will be. DLSS 1.0 wasn’t very good so we hope it’s better than that, but it could be just as bad.
magic wing
Nope . But its going to have in the future and the name of it if im not wrong is...
Amd boost is already here and it does the exact opposite of what dlss does. When action picks up in supported games, it drops resolution to dive more frames for that smooth turn shots.
Amd boost has been around for atleast a year now.
inland hound
good graphics card for Ryzen 7 2700x? i’m gonna be honest i’m not really looking...
note that the only GPUs you can get at a reasonable price these days are 30-series, sometimes, and every once in a while a RDNA2 card
unborn patio

whats your budget for one?
unborn patio
whats your budget for one?
eh i have a pretty good budget so it doenst matter to me, just want my processor running the best it can
inland hound
well it is a 2700x
more GPU intensive games will be fine but it may suffer a little on games that like better CPUs
if budget really is of no concern then I would say just get a 3080
otherwise a 3060Ti or 3070 is good

Was $500, then tariffs, now 700

Is this a normal hash rate for my card? Downloaded NiceHash after Linus's video to mine while I'm not using my GPU, and I read my hashrate is supposed to be 62MH/s?
I have an OC of +100 core and +150 memory clock. The hashrate fluctuates around 50, not 60.

I'm looking at the "accepted" hash rate which changes over time, but always stays around 50. I could try the accurate benchmarks but it seems my performance "in-game" is 50 regardless of whatever the benches say.
unborn sedge
And use it for minig😐😑
And yeah I bought it for content creation which I do (3D modeling, gamedev, and some video editing).
A week ago Linus said to use it for mining while idle, so why not.
If you want to see some of the public stuff I've done with it, here's my GitHub: https://github.com/RealTheSunCat

Been mining for a week and I've made 0.00045 BTC, which is around 22€. Bit over 3€/day.
That's a lot less than the supposed 5.50€/day other people claim to be making from this card.
With Europe electricity bills my profit is much less than 3€/day...

Well the longer benchmarks only take a few mins or so, so it's worth a shot
unborn sedge
True. Will try it when I get home.
heady turtle
If you don't overclock i believe you're profit can be higher too
unborn sedge
I have all the plugins installed on the NiceHash client btw, but I think it's only ever used "Octopus" and "DaggerHashimoto". Should I uninstall the rest? They make the benchmark much longer as each has to be tested.
heady turtle
You can turn off benchmarks you know that would not work under the drop-down of the benchmark but sure
unborn sedge
Still haven't gotten home but 👀
I might force it to use Octopus. This is the only time I've seen my actual expected hash rate.

You shouldn't be boosting core clock for Mining. Generally you oc memory, underclock the core, and lower the power limit
unborn sedge
Huh. Didn't know that. I've pretty much matched @dense panther's settings and it's still stable.
I've made a separate profile in afterburner with a higher core clock for gaming, and the mining one has -512 core and +1300 mem
eyy
61 or so MH/s. The memory clock was the problem.

I was going to try that but I didn't wanna damage anything. I'll try that if I can't figure something else out

IDK about videos. There are two screws that attach the GPU to the case, just loosen slightly, move the card slightly, and retighten the screws

It'll still be plugged in, and I just move it back a little to take it out yea?

yep\
muted barn
Alright I'll try that, thanks for the help

So in this picture there are two screws holding the GPU in. Loosen them, move the card down slightly and retighten them. Your screws may look different though.

It's too blurry once I make it bigger, can you circle it?
muted barn
I can see clearly now, which screws?
tender mulch
The two holding the GPU in on the end of it.

Yea, thats what I thought. So if I unscrew them those are just holding it in place right? It's still connected to the pc?
