graphics-cards

[steady eagle]

yeah thats the one

[keen nacelle]

Still better than the 730

[steady eagle]

-.-

[hot folio]

Also which A8 is it? There are tons of them

[keen nacelle]

Anyways, your best bet would prolly be a 780 ti or 970 imo

[steady eagle]

i dont know tbh

im on my laptop currently

not the desktop

[steady eagle]

i see, thank you

[keen nacelle]

780 ti could prolly run most current games

It's better than a 1650 I believe

Maybe around 1060 6gb?

[steady eagle]

god end this shortage already

[rain vale]

Can they not simply increase production by a lot?

[cosmic bluff]

No sadly

Sounds simple but in practice its a mess

[twilit echo]

happy dance got a card in the AMD queue today 😁

[safe onyx]

nice.

I keep forgetting the AMD queue exists

[heady turtle]

Alright for 25 euro there

Respectively valorant will run on a potato

Not well but

It will run

[keen nacelle]

I use "run" as in 60fps

Technichally you can run 30fps on intel hd 4000

[vital oriole]

A series iGPUs sucked

[keen nacelle]

What were they?

[vital oriole]

I mean they're not too bad but they were meh

[keen nacelle]

I thought it was vega 6 and 7

[heady turtle]

Well you will be playing all low on that anyway

[vital oriole]

R series

Vega only came to ryzen and zen to zen+ athlons

[keen nacelle]

I haven't heard of that, how do they compare?

[heady turtle]

For valorant I'd be more worried bout the cpu

[vital oriole]

R series is much slower

They're basically rebrand of HD 7000 series or something

[keen nacelle]

To get 60fps low you need a 730, I was just using valorant as an example since they were asking about a 730

[vital oriole]

not sure

[keen nacelle]

Oh

Oof

[vital oriole]

radeon r7 is pretty slow compared to vega

like what, vega 3 perf?

[keen nacelle]

Tbf vega 3 is still better than 730

[vital oriole]

uh no

[keen nacelle]

https://technical.city/en/video/GeForce-GT-730-vs-Radeon-RX-Vega-3

[vital oriole]

lemme get a correct site lel

[keen nacelle]

Wait is that site wrong?

I've been using it for like 5 months

[vital oriole]

hm

well passmark does say vega 3 faster, scores wise

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/GeForce-GT-730-vs-Radeon-Vega-3-vs-Radeon-HD-6450/2906vs3926vs267

but about 100 points

https://youtu.be/2oYDM1iAVz0

yep it's slower, dang

gddr5 730

[keen nacelle]

It's referring to what

I'm on school internet

YouTube is slow af at loading bc of it

[cerulean rover]

Vega 3 better prob

[vital oriole]

yes

it is better consistently

[keen nacelle]

Pog

[vital oriole]

tfw 900 series had no gt series for desktop

woulda been interesting

[stark barn]

Which one is better?

[hot folio]

3070ti is better but not at that price

[stark barn]

They got a shuffle going on with the 3070 ti for like $860 so I get a chance to win and buy it. I’m get it and then sell my 2080 ti

[steady eagle]

sounds like a plan

[verbal geyser]

guys

RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

[hot folio]

6700xt by a long shot

6700xt is equivalent to the 3060ti

[verbal geyser]

noice

and its even cheaper than rtx 3060

[cerulean rover]

Not sure where you're looking but maybe for you

[verbal geyser]

Intel I9 10850k or AMD Ryzen 7 5800x?

[verbal geyser]

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12G Graphics Card, 3X WINDFORCE Fans, 12GB 192-bit GDDR6, GV-N3060GAMING OC-12GD Video Card its 1025,91 euro

[verbal geyser]

PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming Graphics Card with 12GB GDDR6 Memory, Powered by AMD RDNA 2, Raytracing, PCI Express 4.0, HDMI 2.1, AMD Infinity Cache its 732,79

both of them on Amazon

[keen nacelle]

Depends what you do

[keen nacelle]

Don't buy off amazon

[cerulean rover]

Yea those prices aren't exactly what they should be but eh

[keen nacelle]

Amazon is even worse than ebay

[cerulean rover]

You do you

[keen nacelle]

If you're gaming, 5800x. If you're doing things that need the cores like editing and such 10850k.

Tho 5800x is still good for editing

It has stronger cores, just less

[verbal geyser]

ok

thanks

[cerulean rover]

Keep in mind 5800x can beat 10850k in some multi core tasks still

[keen nacelle]

Does it?

Didn't know that

[stark barn]

I got intel i9 11900k lmao and I mostly do gaming

[verbal geyser]

as i know intel is more for games

and amd with their supper cores its more for editing

and things using more cores

[cerulean rover]

Use specific benchmarks for everything

Generalizing misses things

[keen nacelle]

I mean it's not bad for gaming, but definitely better options lol. Overkill for basically everything

[pallid coyote]

They are good for certain uses. I work for an engineering firm and we tried the 5900x against the 11900K for 3D modeling and rendering, the Intel was a lot more responsive and finished running models and renders a lot quicker and more efficient than the AMD PC. All specs were the same except the obvious parts

[keen nacelle]

What about 5950x vs 11900k?

[pallid coyote]

didn't try it, wasn't what the company offered and besides 5950x is on a whole different level

[keen nacelle]

Also was it 3600mhz or faster ram?

[pallid coyote]

3600Mhz ram for both

[verbal geyser]

nice

[pallid coyote]

AMD's not bad at all, just for what my company does, doing 3D work/rendering, etc. The Intel was the better choice

[verbal geyser]

i need a pc for video editing

and for videos

my actual pc has an Intel I3 2nd gen ,16gb ram and RX 550

and its strugguling

so dam hard

[stark barn]

Lmao I just bought it randomly. I didn’t know what to pick so I just went with intel

But I like the way my pc performance is

[grizzled nimbus]

giraffecard

[keen nacelle]

I disagree

[grizzled nimbus]

oh

uhh

girrafeics card?

[lone pond]

girrafeics card

[dreamy dragon]

Nibblex#0748 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[crisp ocean]

5950x

[keen nacelle]

Nah I was asking how they compared if they tested, I know 5950x has a good bit better mc and similar single

[heady turtle]

It was most likely a software that heavily favoured intel, a lot of engineering software can be like that, and some engineering software just straight up doesn't run on amd, 10850k/10900k would probs have been better tho

[keen nacelle]

I love when people who know nothing about mining say that power limit is stupid for it

Because their parents pay the energy bill and they don't care

[heady turtle]

What?

[crisp ocean]

Huh

[heady turtle]

Power limiting a mining card is just better for the card full stop

[keen nacelle]

Sorry, different server

[heady turtle]

Lmao

[keen nacelle]

Yep

They also said mining on stock is perfectly fine

[crisp ocean]

It’s not bad

Also PLing on kawpow isn’t the smartest

[keen nacelle]

It was eth mining

And that's bc core is used

[crisp ocean]

Then PL

Yeah

I have a 90 or 95% PL on kawpow

[keen nacelle]

Then someone else said 65% pl is too low for a 3060 ti

[heady turtle]

I run 45% pl

[keen nacelle]

People talking on things they pretend to know about is just so annoying sometimes

I run 55%

Gives me 60.5mh/s or more depending on weather at 121w

-502on core and +1250 on mem

80-90 on fans

Like 5min ago until I closed the door to my room it was 48 celsius and 502kh/w

[crisp ocean]

It quite frankly could be a jt low

My 3070 had perf decreases after 70% on eth

[keen nacelle]

Yeah but every card is different

The general rule is start at 65 and go from there

[crisp ocean]

So it could be too low for them you never know

[keen nacelle]

It wasn't the person with the card

It was someone in the same channel giving input on me helping someone change settings

Turns out 65% was right for them and they're getting 60mh/s at 120w

[blissful sequoia]

Yoo I am doing a project at the uni and I have been tasked with revers engineering something and I thouhgt of a GPU since nobody has ever done it

Think it may be too hard tho

get like a 30 dollar gpu and try to reverse engineer it, understand the capacitors and how everything works

I have 2 months to find a group and get it done

[normal hawk]

Damn gigabyte putting the 6000 series GPU in bundles too

[heady turtle]

Uhhh how many fabs you got at your disposal xD

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4339980

[heady turtle]

Z390 bruh

[blissful sequoia]

fabs?

[heady turtle]

To make the gpu die....

[normal hawk]

That's the cheapest one of the 3 bundles @heady turtle i always share the cheapest regardless of what it's paired with

[blissful sequoia]

oh 😦 not many

[heady turtle]

Sadge, what's next cheapest kek?

Might be worth the 30$ for the better mobo

[blissful sequoia]

I paid 800 for my 3060ti that is just painful

[heady turtle]

I mean you can try but i don't see it going well

[normal hawk]

B550 Aorus Elite is the 2nd cheapest

I think I'd go for the middle one for the ITX board despite it being the priciest there

I'm not buying it. But that's what I'd go for it i was

[heady turtle]

id spend the extra 30$ for that tbh, you could probs resell for more or actually use

[normal hawk]

Ye for sure

[static sparrow]

So a little bit nervous about my new rtx 3080 Ti. Trying to hook it up rn but I realized something

There’s a fan on the motherboard

I don’t believe that the rtx is gonna touch it, but it might be a tight squeeze.

[heady turtle]

well first of all you should be using the top slot but otherwise it should be fine

[static sparrow]

Top slot?

[heady turtle]

yeah

you have the card in the bottom slot now

[static sparrow]

This slot right here?

Sorry about the wires, having to replace the PSU.

[heady turtle]

ye use that slot

[cosmic bluff]

Yo freezer II nice choice saga

[heady turtle]

yis freezer ii

[storm urchin]

I need quick advice: I have a graphics card, sapphire r9 290 vapor-x that I was given used by my brother in-law. I don't think it was used much before he upgraded. So I think it is in good condition. I got my email this morning for ordering EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Gaming, 12G-P5-3657-KR. The $399 one. Is this worth buying?

[heady turtle]

definitely

[storm urchin]

What makes it better?

[storm urchin]

What makes it better?

[heady turtle]

It's just newer and better, you'll be able to do higher details/resolution and just a stronger gpu overall, more fps in places where youre not cpu bottlenecked

[heady turtle]

@storm urchin https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/Radeon-R9-290-vs-GeForce-RTX-3060/4259vs4345 for comparison btw

[late haven]

Is the gtx 690 still good?

[cerulean rover]

It's a very hot and inefficient card that would be pretty low end by today's standards, it'll probably perform like a 1050ti

[green harness]

Considering it's a 3060 from the EVGA queue it's also one of the most affordable ways to get a 3060 and it comes with very good warranty support. Recommend using an associate's code at checkout for 3% off if you buy it

[analog badge]

is shared memory something that only laptop gpus have?

[toxic sinew]

iGPUs

[livid idol]

Which means the GPU that's built into the processor, if you didn't know

[analog badge]

my 3060m has 4gb of shared and 6gb of dedotated

[hot folio]

If it’s for $400 definitely

[dreamy dragon]

Panchitozzz#2764 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[livid idol]

Yeah, task manager isn't best for GPU stats. It claims my GPU has 32GB of memory. It doesn't.

[analog badge]

how much does it have?

[livid idol]

It's a 3090 so it has 24gb

[analog badge]

oh ok

makses sense

[livid idol]

You have 6gb dedicated, ignore the shared

[analog badge]

ok

how much would igpu have

because it says 4gb

but i only have 8gb

[livid idol]

iGPU gets dynamically assigned some of the system memory, determined by your total memory amount

[sterile zodiac]

Now I’m curious, what is the shared memory?

[livid idol]

It's using your system memory instead of memory built into the GPU

[sterile zodiac]

When I use davinci resolve fusion, the gpu memory goes to like 2.9 or something (max available), but when I play minecraft, it stays at like 1 gb, and the shared goes up. Is it cause it doesn’t need to be as fast?

[livid idol]

The texture data has to be stored in system memory before it can be sent to the GPU

[sterile zodiac]

Oh that’s kind of neat

[violet axle]

does anybody happen to have a 2021 corsair Rm850x with an EVGA FTW3 3080ti setup? If so, did you have to order a 3rd pci-e cable for the gpu or did you use the 2 it comes with, plus daisy chain?

[livid idol]

I have the RM850x with a 3090, does that count?
Officially you'll want to use 3 separate cables, but it also depends on your power limit. If you're 400W or less it's probably ok to use daisy chain.
The official spec lists the max at 150W but the cables are pretty overbuilt these days and can tolerate about 200W before they get uncomfortably hot. 375W - 75 (pci slot power) / 3 = 100W per 8 pin. In theory one cable would be fine for 2 ports.

[violet axle]

awesome! thanks so much for the quick response. I was trying to read up on it a bit but it seemed like a rabbit hole i didnt wanna go down lol so figured id ask someone with that setup. i'm getting my 3080 tomorrow and i wanted to make sure it would be ok to run like that.

[livid idol]

I can double check your power limit if you don't know it

[violet axle]

the general consensus on the matter seemed to be its not ok to do it but its ok to do it but you can kinda do it but you might fry something but it should be safe but you should use independent so on and so forth lol

sure how do we do that

[livid idol]

I'll look it up on the database, one sec

400W default, 450W max overclock

You'll want 3 cables

Unless you want to leave it at stock power or lower, and just make sure the cable doesn't melt when you're testing it

[violet axle]

i wasnt planning on overclocking. pretty sure im leaving it stock.

where did you get a 3rd pci-e cable?

this psu only came with 2

[livid idol]

You can buy it from corsair

[violet axle]

and 3 4+4 cables for some reason

never seen a mobo that needs more than 2

[livid idol]

Or they might just give you one if you complain to support

[violet axle]

hmm i might have to do that

not much choice. says its not available on the corsair website

[solemn panther]

👀

[livid idol]

There's like 3 different versions of that same cable, and only one works without exploding

I saw the link don't worry

[violet axle]

i tried to share the link but it keeps disappearing

oh ok lol

[livid idol]

I believe it is the type 4 but let me double check

I can see deleted stuff in logs

[violet axle]

pretty sure thats the one. i remember seeing on the back of the psu it said only use type 4 connectors

[livid idol]

Mobile is being a pain so I'll check on my pc unless someone beats me to it

[odd solar]

i dont see why you would want to oc it... wen there is no cpu fast enough to keep up wth the 3090

sorry for ping forgot to turn it off

[violet axle]

yeah i wasnt looking to overclock mine. I ordered a 3080ti tho

[livid idol]

The 5800X or higher with SMT turned off will be more than sufficient. I know from experience.

[odd solar]

hmm ig..

[livid idol]

Type 3 and type 4 will work, except for the 24 pin which only the type 4 will work

[livid idol]

This one is sleeved too https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-|-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/Type-3-Sleeved-Black-PCIe-Cable/p/CP-8920111

[odd solar]

wht abt csgo. if there was no cpu bottleneck how much would 3090 get.. at 4k ULTRA?

*approx

[livid idol]

I don't play that one personally so I'll look up a couple people that do

[vital oriole]

csgo will always be a bottleneck for cpu

[odd solar]

no need its ok im just being curiois

[odd solar]

IF dude IF

[vital oriole]

it's not realistic question

[odd solar]

so? im being curious

[vital oriole]

im just saying

[livid idol]

8k max settings with 11900k loads the 3090 98% and gets 100-130 fps

[odd solar]

ok wtv

[odd solar]

hmm

[keen nacelle]

I've wondered for a while, what's the demand difference between resolutions?

As in 2k vs 4k vs 8k

[odd solar]

i think 8k is FOUR times 4k

[keen nacelle]

Really? Wow

[livid idol]

You can get a basic idea of the factor by pixel count

[odd solar]

its pretty absurd

[keen nacelle]

I didn't think it'd be that simple wow

[livid idol]

It's a rough estimate , it's really like 3.8x or something

[odd solar]

3.8x of 4k?

[keen nacelle]

What about 1080p vs 1440p?

[livid idol]

Especially since everyone's definition of 4k is different

[odd solar]

2160p

[keen nacelle]

2000 something pixels no?

[solemn panther]

2160

Vertical

[keen nacelle]

Ah I was gonna say 2060

[livid idol]

1920x1080=2,073,600

2560x1440=3,686,400

[keen nacelle]

Wow

So is that as simple as just 1440p is 1.6 (about)x more demanding?

Or would it be 2.6

Wait

I'm tired sorry

[livid idol]

3840x2160 (4k)=8,294,400

[odd solar]

1.6

so 4k=4times 1080p

[livid idol]

It has to draw that many more pixels BUT it also needs to do other things

[keen nacelle]

Didn't think it'd be that simple

[odd solar]

like it will load hogher quality texture pax right?

[keen nacelle]

So for example, if i get 200fps on 1080, I'd get 160on 1440p (assuming same load and everything)

?

[vital oriole]

4k isn't really 4 times 1080p

[livid idol]

Now for 8k... 7680x4320=33,177,600

[odd solar]

the calcultations say so

[livid idol]

It's that many more pixels but that's not the only factor

[odd solar]

lil more than 4 times of 4k

[odd solar]

yes

@keen nacelle are u there?

[keen nacelle]

Yeah

[odd solar]

?

[keen nacelle]

Wym

[vital oriole]

it's double the res of 4k, if we don't count pixels

[livid idol]

It's not quite this simple once you factor everything else in, like memory and cpu

[vital oriole]

but pixels, i guess

also ^

once vram fills up the perf hit is hard

[odd solar]

24 gigs seems more than enough

[livid idol]

Way more than enough

[vital oriole]

8 on 3060ti sure isn't, just to add

[keen nacelle]

I'm asking bc my bday is in a couple days and I'm thinking of upgrading to 1440p 144hz, but I like getting high frames in warzonr and cold war

[odd solar]

seewe are talking in contesxt of a 3090

[vital oriole]

that's why it has same perf in 4k as 3070

[livid idol]

That 8k max cs:go I looked at was using 8.6GB

[vital oriole]

3070 has 8 gigs vram too

[keen nacelle]

Yeah and 2080 ti beats 3070 at 4k

[vital oriole]

i know, can't i change the topic a lil?

1440p on 3060ti should be easy, with that aside

[odd solar]

idk m8 truebacca wanted to know dat

[odd solar]

yes

[livid idol]

Cyberpunk 2077 4k native max settings uses 11.8GB vram

[cosmic bluff]

Ive yet to run cyberpunk but will surely test it

[odd solar]

higher res also loads higher quality texture pax right?

[livid idol]

It depends on the game

[odd solar]

umm forza horizon 4?

[livid idol]

Some games have textures that max at like 2048x2048

[vital oriole]

higher res means more pixels to load

so it's heavier

but some games does do that i think

most just stick with texture settings

[odd solar]

hmm

[cosmic bluff]

Yeah if you increase res on a limited texture you wont see much of a difference unless your monitor also supports it but still wont see better graphics

[livid idol]

In cases like that where the texture size is smaller than the resolution it draws the lower res object in the higher res world

Forza Horizon 4 has an optional 4k texture pack, so if you set to 8k it'll still be 4k textures

[odd solar]

like kryssp.. sometimes when he runs 4k on his 1440p monitor.. he sez the road looks soo sharp(i can tell im on a 720p monitor XD)

[odd solar]

hmm

[livid idol]

That's due to sharpening, a nice feature of upscaling past native

[odd solar]

wow..

[livid idol]

You just enable DSR and set smoothness where you want

[odd solar]

i mean road

[odd solar]

ohk

hey can u head over to the gaming section once falcie?

[livid idol]

Sure, why?

[dreamy dragon]

! Ander#7356 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[unborn frost]

can anyone give some adive on whether or not to get a power color hellhound 2x fans 6600XT or a gigabyte 3 fans windforce 3060, both are priced at 459.99$ ?

[rustic pulsar]

6600xt has better overall performance but 3060 has better ray tracing, if you plan to lots play game’s that have ray tracing, get the 3060, or not, get the 6600xt

[timid narwhal]

I wouldnt play games with raytracing on with a 3060 though.

[unborn frost]

does the 6600XT have a similar featurr

[timid narwhal]

6600xt and 3060 are not cards you play with raytracing on

[unborn frost]

ok. is dlss widely supported ?

[dark dragon]

Which is the best graphic cards you guys can suggest for playing FORTNITE

[unborn frost]

the BEST would probably be an rtx 3090

[heady turtle]

If you don't want to stream/record while gaming, and don't care about Nvidias features, the 6600xt

[heady turtle]

Dlss is Nvidia only

[heady turtle]

Depends on your budget, but like they guy above, the best overall would be a 3090/3080 ti ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wether it's a good choice or not that's a completely different question lol

[dark dragon]

could u elaborate?

[heady turtle]

Well it depends how much you can spend on the graphics card, of course the most powerful gaming graphics card will be the best for gaming

[dark dragon]

ya ok got ur point

[cerulean rover]

FSR is the more accessible upscaling tech, but not widely adopted in usage

[timid narwhal]

FSR and DLSS are not super widely adopted just yet.

[dark dragon]

ya coz i was planning to build a pc n i hv a good budget

[pallid coyote]

The 3090 is the most powerful but not necessarily the best choice. Its overkill for gaming and is geared more towards production work with the ability to game so it depends on what you're trying to do

[heady turtle]

Yeah but can you give a number? Budget is highly subjective

[pallid coyote]

This

[dark dragon]

somewhere around 5k

[heady turtle]

5k usd? 👀

[dark dragon]

yup

indeed

[heady turtle]

You live in the us or are you converting?

[dark dragon]

the former

[heady turtle]

You're in the us, okay, then yeah a 3080 ti or 3090

[dark dragon]

n combine it with i9 11900k

[heady turtle]

Nono

If you want to go intel get a 10850k/10900k

But 5900x/5950x is what you should be pairing it with

[cerulean rover]

5900x neat

[heady turtle]

5950x if you're an absolute power user

[dark dragon]

what would u prefer
if u were in my place

intel or amd

[heady turtle]

I'd go 5900x

[dark dragon]

i personally was planning to go with intel

[heady turtle]

If you're going intel don't go 11900k anyway

Go 10900k/10850k

[dark dragon]

why tho

[heady turtle]

But 5900x is better unless you're really into overclocking

[heady turtle]

It's basically an 11700k that's way more expensive

[robust harbor]

Thats an overkill pc just for fortnite

[heady turtle]

Only 8c still

[heady turtle]

Yes clearly they want the best tho ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dark dragon]

[dark dragon]

how many cores does 10900k has?

[pallid coyote]

8

[heady turtle]

10

[robust harbor]

Its 10

[heady turtle]

But 5900x has 12 cores and they more powerful

[pallid coyote]

Yup, the 11900k isn't worth it. I would go for the 10850k, tbh

And they're on sale right now as well

[dark dragon]

n what abt 5950x

[heady turtle]

16 cores but in gaming they're slightly slower than the 5900x, depends on the game tho, 16 cores is very overkill unless you do a crap tun of multi tasking

[keen nacelle]

^^

5900x much more worth it if you're just gaming

And what resolution are you going to use?

[pallid coyote]

Agreed, the most expensive and 'best' doesn't mean the best value and performance for gaming. The top end stuff are geared towards multitasking

[heady turtle]

Unless you want to overclock as a hobby, get a 5900x, if you're an extreme multi tasker, get a 5950x but imo just get a 5900x

And if you want to overclock as a hobby, get a 10850k or 10900k

[dark dragon]

so what you mean is that the best performance components required for gaming are much below the best line right?

[keen nacelle]

5900x can still do multi tasking very well anyways

[keen nacelle]

Easily

Especially for fortnite

You could use the lowest 30 series and easily get max settings in fortnite

[heady turtle]

Ehh well that's debatable

[keen nacelle]

If all you do is fn you'll use maybe 50% of your pcs power

If that

[pallid coyote]

The most expensive one doesn't mean the 'best', tbh. Since the best varies depending on what you want. Besides, most people buy the best just to flex and say that they have it. It's really good for multi tasking sure but so is the 5900x. Most people who get the 5950x are production workers like engineers or those that use it for video, music editing. For gaming, go with the 5900x like Pato recommends or if you want to OC, then the 10850K or 10900K

[dark dragon]

what is the actual purpose of oc?

[keen nacelle]

Getting better performance

[pallid coyote]

Performance

[keen nacelle]

You basically give it more voltage which let's it perform better (afaik)

Don't quote me on that, I don't oc really

[dark dragon]

is it really needed ?

[keen nacelle]

No

[dark dragon]

so its just an advantage

[keen nacelle]

Especially in your case

Most people either do it to get a high score in benchmark comparisons or in lieu of upgrading cpu

[heady turtle]

No, you should only worry about it if you wanna do it for fun really

Well at least cpu overclocking

If you go ryzen you'll want to turn on precision boost overdrive (pbo)

[keen nacelle]

Gpu ocing is easier and more beneficial for gaming (for the most part)

[dark dragon]

actually i am a little new to these things

[heady turtle]

And graphics card overclocks are worth it

[dark dragon]

i have just started doing some research

[pallid coyote]

You OC for benchmarks or to see how much you can push your rig to its limits along with adding benefits to gaming

[cerulean rover]

graphics overclocks depends

ampere won't give you that much

[keen nacelle]

With a 3090 you won't need to oc lol

Or a 5900x

Or an i9 10th gen lmao

Basically any cpu you'll get

[pallid coyote]

Graphic overclocks are def worth it especially with Turing and older

[dark dragon]

so cpu overclocking is not necessary(just optional)
but gpu overclocking is required or u could say worth it

[cerulean rover]

neither are required

I say ampere gpu oc won't do too much unless you know what you're doing

[pallid coyote]

Not required but def well worth it for the performance gains on the GPU

[keen nacelle]

Not in your case though

For your budget you'll have top of the line parts

You won't see any benefit from ocing, not for a few years

Bc you can run games at max settings easily without oxijg

[dark dragon]

so the best combination would be a 5900x with 3090

[heady turtle]

@dark dragon you're looking for something like this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YYp9Vc

[dark dragon]

u guys have changed my mind from intel to amd😂😂

[dark dragon]

ya this could be helpful

so how do u select the motherboard??

[heady turtle]

Why did i select the motherboard?

What do you mean?

[dark dragon]

no, which one to select

[heady turtle]

I gave you a full completed list with a motherboard and everything

[dark dragon]

ya i saw that
but otherwise how do u select which mother board to go with

[heady turtle]

You can click the edit button on the list and change it, but why would you bother changing it?

[dark dragon]

i think u didn't get my question

[heady turtle]

How did i choose that motherboard for example?

Is it?

[dark dragon]

ya

normally

[heady turtle]

It's a good motherboard with good power delivery

And has wi-fi

[umbral briar]

oh wrong channel

[dark dragon]

what is the purpose of a threadripper cpu

[umbral briar]

whats the best waterblock for a 3090?

[heady turtle]

Multi core workloads

[umbral briar]

its a workstation

[heady turtle]

What 3090?

[umbral briar]

rog strix

[heady turtle]

I would leave on air but 1 sec

[umbral briar]

ek x rog came out months after i got my 3090 for retail

im just trying to see the viability of doing so

[heady turtle]

I would still leave it air cooled but if you wanna do a custom loop up to you

[umbral briar]

it does run hot at times but it doesnt throttle which is fine

[heady turtle]

https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-vector-strix-rtx-3080-3090-d-rgb-nickel-plexi

This should do

https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-classic-gpu-water-block-strix-rtx-3080-3090-d-rgb

Or this

[umbral briar]

hmmm

i think im gonna stick with air cooling for now

[heady turtle]

https://www.ekwb.com/configurator/waterblock/3831109836538 this too

[umbral briar]

ill just upgrade my mobo, case, and ram

[heady turtle]

I would too

Very nice card already

[umbral briar]

i mean its top tier in terms of cooling

i dont think dropping my regular temps to just a few degrees for a few hundred bucks wont be economical

[umbral briar]

i mostly do rendering and gaming on the side

[heady turtle]

Nope

[umbral briar]

compared to top tier builds, it performs just as well

[dark dragon]

altogether?

[umbral briar]

i mean not at the same time

my day job is doing renders of buildings for clients

i play video games during my spare time

[dark dragon]

ohh ok

[umbral briar]

although possible, i would blow up my pc if did both at the same time

[dark dragon]

can u share a pic of your pc if its okay with you

[umbral briar]

im actually travelling rn so i dont have pics of it

[dark dragon]

😂😂

[dark dragon]

ohk

[umbral briar]

its running 24/7 since i access it from my laptop when im away

[dark dragon]

how do u do that?

[umbral briar]

remote desktop connection

[dark dragon]

ohh ya ok

is there any difference in brand of gpu
Like is there any difference in evga 3090 and rog strix 3090

difference in performance?

[umbral briar]

cooling

only difference is the cooling since both of them perform similarly

i was comparing my 3090 to my coworkers evga 3090 and there wasnt any difference

[dark dragon]

coz there is a price difference of a 1000usd

[dreamy dragon]

Pushkar#1111 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[heady turtle]

Model is more important than brand. Just the coolers, get the cheapest 3080 ti or 3090 that's not msi ventus, or 6900xt

[dark dragon]

ok

[pallid coyote]

[dark dragon]

ok so should i go with evga 3090

[vital oriole]

evga 3090 somehow has bad soldering problem, if you play new world, that amazon game it'll die

but that's a problem of only one game

[heady turtle]

Not evga only but Amazon magically patched it without saying anything

[heady turtle]

Evga do nice cards so i would

Ftw3 if not much more

[dark dragon]

ok

i liked the build u sent me @heady turtle

[heady turtle]

Ty

[dark dragon]

why isn't it allowing me to replace it with intel cpu

[vital oriole]

hm?

why you want intel exactly?

something like 5900x beats 11900k in value all day

[timid narwhal]

and mt performnce, if im not mistaken

[dark dragon]

idk its just stuck in my mind😂😂

[vital oriole]

yep, roasts it in mt all day

5900x has more cores even iirc

[dark dragon]

what is mt btw?

[timid narwhal]

multi thread perfomance

[vital oriole]

multi thread

[dark dragon]

ok

[umbral briar]

price to performance, go for amd

[timid narwhal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxiuvQPL_qs have a look.

[vital oriole]

i9 11900k has 8c/16t, is hungry and hot

5900x has 12c/24t

[dark dragon]

although i am comparing i9 10900k vs ryzen 9 5900x

[vital oriole]

well that's even sadder for single core

[timid narwhal]

even worse

[vital oriole]

^

[umbral briar]

amd zen 3 eats less power and runs smoother

[vital oriole]

5900x is hungry tho

but not as bad as 11900k

or as hot

[umbral briar]

i mean yeah compared to 11th gen

[heady turtle]

You'll need to change the motherboard first lol

[umbral briar]

chipset

[dark dragon]

ok so u'll would go with 5900x rather than 10th or 11th gen

[dark dragon]

haha ok

[heady turtle]

10, slower cores, vs 12 faster cores, no brainer

[timid narwhal]

absolutely

[vital oriole]

5900x for sure

intel is outta question for i9

[umbral briar]

if possible, 5950x

[vital oriole]

eh

5950x loses in gaming

[umbral briar]

welp

[heady turtle]

Yes

[keen nacelle]

Depends on the budget, 11600k over 5600x imo

[umbral briar]

didnt know that

[timid narwhal]

the gains dont justify the price, I dont think

[vital oriole]

5950x is crossing into workstation tier

[heady turtle]

Trades blows depends tbh and minor difference anyway

[umbral briar]

im gonna order that wrx80 motherboard by asus

[vital oriole]

5950x is workstation cpu

so similar gaming to 5900x

[heady turtle]

11400, when back at normal price, 11600k is more expensive because you need z590 mobo and better cooler

[vital oriole]

but geared for workstation stuff

[dark dragon]

so in gaming 5900x is better, right?

[heady turtle]

Ye slightly better than 5950x

[timid narwhal]

5900x is best all rounder at the top of the CPU mountain

[vital oriole]

yeah, you don't need those many cores too

[keen nacelle]

Isn't 11600k like 15% better and obviously it can oc?

[vital oriole]

5900x would be max id go for games

11600k isn't cheap lel

[keen nacelle]

I know

[vital oriole]

same price, or higher than 5600x atm

[keen nacelle]

Thought it was 270 on best buy?

[vital oriole]

5600x can be 250 sometimes

[dark dragon]

so i should go with 5900x combined with 3090

[vital oriole]

At what res do you want to game at?

Also even if it's 4k, 3080ti is better spent on

[keen nacelle]

They have a 5k budget

So

[vital oriole]

hmm

[timid narwhal]

beast mode

[vital oriole]

fine then

3090 it is

[keen nacelle]

Lel

[vital oriole]

1000w psu required kek

but easy cause 5k

[keen nacelle]

Pato made a parts list

[vital oriole]

ye

[umbral briar]

a friend of mine is doing well with 850w

[vital oriole]

850w

yikes

3090 has spikes as high as 400-500w

it could pop eventually

[timid narwhal]

thats playing some russian roulette.

[dark dragon]

look at this once

[heady turtle]

Not over 5600x, 5600x comes out cheaper, the 11400(when not scalped) and b560 is the way to go

[umbral briar]

its a corsair psu not a gigabyte one

[keen nacelle]

Interesting

[vital oriole]

still

850w isn't safe for 3090

[keen nacelle]

And I meant 15% over 11400

[heady turtle]

5900x with 3080 ti or 3090 or rx 6900xt

[vital oriole]

it has a risk to pop if it spikes enough

any 850w units will pop with 3090

it's a matter of time

[dark dragon]

i am going with 3090

[heady turtle]

Just dont, not worth it

[vital oriole]

^

[keen nacelle]

I mean supposedly 3090super is coming out soon

[vital oriole]

like

[umbral briar]

thats what i told him

[keen nacelle]

I wonder if they'll make 3080 super

[vital oriole]

if you already have money for 3090

why would you forget on psu

[umbral briar]

but hes been using it for close to a year now

[heady turtle]

Yeah but it's also like 90$ more expensive than 11400

[vital oriole]

damn

[keen nacelle]

Oh jeez didn't know it was that much

[dark dragon]

i didn't make it Pato made this for me

[heady turtle]

Go with whichever you can get your hands on for the cheapest

[keen nacelle]

I've mostly been seeing amd cpus currently

[vital oriole]

it wasn't directed to you

[dark dragon]

its 1000w

[vital oriole]

lel

[dark dragon]

oh ok

sry

[umbral briar]

so my total budget for my pc upgrade is around $1500 which includes case, mobo, storage

[heady turtle]

11600k is like 270 ish, 11400 is 180-189 or something

[umbral briar]

i might be getting the corsair 5000d, a 980 pro for case and storage

[dark dragon]

evga 3090 ?

[timid narwhal]

maybe? fit between a ti and a vanilla?

[heady turtle]

Get the cheapest one that's not msi ventus

[timid narwhal]

good card.

[dark dragon]

or any specific 3090

[dark dragon]

so except msi ventus

[vital oriole]

ye

[umbral briar]

try going for the rog or evga 3090

[heady turtle]

I'd only go 5000d airflow, regular 5000d is meh, but have a look at p500a digital instead, comes with rgb fans too 980 pro is aight but i would just get a sk hynix p31 instead

[dark dragon]

currently the build costs 4666 acc to the site

[heady turtle]

Ye

[heady turtle]

What did you do?

[umbral briar]

i really dont need rgb

i might also get noctua fans

[dark dragon]

just added the evga 3090

[heady turtle]

Well you can turn it off

[vital oriole]

5000d needs fans to be good stock

but seems you're getting em anyway

it doesn't matter

5000d airflow that is

[heady turtle]

That's why lmao, you still have my, 1800$ 3080 ti/3090/6900xt place holder

[vital oriole]

the normal 5000d is eh

[umbral briar]

the airflow one is at the top of my list

[timid narwhal]

Lian Li Lancool 2 mesh performance, or Fractal Meshify 2

[dark dragon]

i just did to get an estimate😂😂

[umbral briar]

the next one is the lancool or the 011d

[heady turtle]

Just get arctic p12/p14's instead if you need fans, but thing is if you go p500a, you don't need to buy more fans

[timid narwhal]

011 D is for custom water blocks, imho

[heady turtle]

Mine gave it an estimate lmao?

[umbral briar]

ive been seeing a lot of good reviews on the arctic p12 fans

[heady turtle]

I wouldn't :/

[dark dragon]

there was alot of price difference the evga one said 2900

[heady turtle]

Yeah they are very good, almost in line with nh a12x25s

[umbral briar]

cheaper and comes in a 3pack

[timid narwhal]

if you buying extra fans, its those or noctuas at the top

[heady turtle]

That's too much, read the pins, i wouldn't pay more than 2300 for a 3090 and more than 1900 for a 3080 ti

@dark dragon there is no point for you getting a 3090 tho tbh

Cuz for gaming 3080 ti is just as good tbh

[dark dragon]

but thats just what the site is saying

[dark dragon]

ok

[heady turtle]

It's scalped

[dark dragon]

yeah

what abt water cooling

is it preferred?

[keen nacelle]

P12s are great, just adding 2 to my case decreased cpu Temps 15-20 degrees

P12 pwm

Wait

Nvm

[timid narwhal]

got an AIO for the CPU. if you mean complete custom loops, not recommended for someone who is new to things

[umbral briar]

i was thinking of getting an aio but i dont if it would be supported

[keen nacelle]

Ignore that in stupid

My memory sucks lol

[umbral briar]

like some aios claim that they fit threadrippers

[keen nacelle]

I also replace my heatsibk which is what lowered my Temps that much lmao

[heady turtle]

cpu yes, gpu no air is good enough

[heady turtle]

there are aios for tr i believe ye

[umbral briar]

most of the aios compatible for the tr doesnt cover the ihs but covers the die

[dark dragon]

ok

[heady turtle]

ahh, well i mean a dark rock pro 4 tr should do nicely too

[vital oriole]

covering the die is fine

but it would look naked i guess

[umbral briar]

its just weird for me that the ihs wont be covered

[dusty nova]

3060 Ti.

[keen nacelle]

Elaborate?

[dusty nova]

Out of Stock

[keen nacelle]

Yes?

[cerulean rover]

U14s tr4

[keen nacelle]

We're in a shortage

It's to be expected

[cerulean rover]

There's also AIOs with coldplate for TR

Pretty sure there's a liqtech 3 now

@livid idol what would be a good price for 3060ti

[livid idol]

About $500-600

[heady turtle]

400-650 imo

400 ideally xD

Look at 3070s too

[livid idol]

400 if you can get FE

[fair arrow]

whats FE

[heady turtle]

That would be

Founders edition

[livid idol]

Founders edition

Best buy only

[heady turtle]

Depends on country but yeah us and ca bb only

[livid idol]

They have a contract with nvidia to charge exactly $400 and no more

[fair arrow]

ohhh thats nice

how hard is it to get one

[heady turtle]

3060 ti's

this?

[heady turtle]

Nope it's called "founders edition"

[livid idol]

No that's the lower model 3060, you want 3060 ti

[heady turtle]

Also that lol

[fair arrow]

hmm

[heady turtle]

But any 3060 ti/3070 if lucky

Technically you could get 3070 ti too(if they actually exist)

[fair arrow]

so is the 100$ difference from 3060 ti/3070 worth it

[heady turtle]

You get what you can

[livid idol]

It depends what resolution you play at also

1080p? probably not

1440 or higher? yes

[heady turtle]

There's about a 10% perf diff from 3060 ti to 3070

[fair arrow]

currently im on 1080p but i would also like vr ability, would 3070 worth it then

350W power limit

390W max OC limit

Plus if you flash a vbios with a higher limit it won't matter because it only has 2 of the usual 3 connectors

[hot folio]

Ok yeah that’s pretty bad

[keen nacelle]

Aren't there some people who can Sauter another power connector on?

[livid idol]

Not in this case

[keen nacelle]

Idk if it was this server but I saw someone modding a 710 with an 8pin

Ah

730 maybe?

[livid idol]

It is physically missing the third 8 pin solder point

[keen nacelle]

Ohh

And is that just your card or just it being an awful aib

[livid idol]

For me to increase my power budget I need to do some hard modding

It's just Gigabyte being Gigabyte

[keen nacelle]

Oof

[livid idol]

Shunt modding here I come...

[keen nacelle]

Question falcie

How would a 3600 and 3080 do at 1440p?

I could oc the 3600

[livid idol]

Obvious answer is it depends on the game

[keen nacelle]

Warzone ig? Most demanding game I currently play

[livid idol]

In general, you'd probably have a cpu bottleneck more than gpu

[keen nacelle]

Yeah I figured

My bday is Monday and I'm thinking about trading to a 3080, since Mines non lhr and the founders card is going for 1300$ pretty often on ebay

And lhr 3080s go for like 1500 easily

Often*

So I'm debating trading up and just using my 1440p 75hz monitor

[lone pond]

Thank you Newegg

[livid idol]

That price hurts, but at least you have a chance at a gpu

[vital oriole]

ye

[barren junco]

While I'm rooting for team red, is it even worth getting a Radeon card?

I've heard bad things about them but their performance looks great

[keen nacelle]

Their newer cards are pretty solid

While it's not for me a lot of people say their 6000 series is worth it

[mortal leaf]

omg

did you win

[livid idol]

The main issue previously was drivers, which are fixed now. The new CEO Lisa Su put a lot of resources into that, and raw performance is about on par with nvidia right now. Nvidia only leads in extra features like DLSS and nvenc.

[lone pond]

Comes next week

[mortal leaf]

congrat man

[lone pond]

Better than the 3,000 plus people are asking in my area

At least mine I own and has the product as well as a 3 year warranty

[barren junco]

Yeah drivers are what I heard are bad. Basically if I get the chance to upgrade my 1060 I do want a Radeon card but I feel like I should stick with Nvidia for the extra features (mostly just for GFE)

[cosmic bluff]

3090 gang nice job on landing a card a bit high in price but still nice

[crisp moth]

are all gpu's still really hard to get?

[dark dragon]

How do you determine the power supply u need to attach
like people use an 850W power supply for an 5900x+3090 pc

but some people were telling me to go for a 1000W power supply

[keen nacelle]

3090 has super high power spikes

I think up to 500w

You always want to go with more than you'd think

Just to keep the pc safe

Psu is the last thing you want to cheap out on

[keen nacelle]

At a decent price pretty much

[crisp moth]

damn

[keen nacelle]

There's ways

But consistently and quickly its difficult

[crisp moth]

I'm not looking to buy in bulk

I just want to upgrade my gpu

[keen nacelle]

Yeah I know

What gpu do you have, what do you want, and what's the budget?

[crisp moth]

2060 super 800 3080/6800

[keen nacelle]

Yeah currently that won't happen

I'd wait it out

[crisp moth]

figured

[keen nacelle]

With any luck you could find a lhr 3080 for around 1200

[crisp moth]

ain't happening

[keen nacelle]

But anything below that would have to be from an original retailer

[crisp moth]

how are scalpers getting gpu's?

[keen nacelle]

Bots, having no life

Pre orders

[crisp moth]

was about to say scripts

[keen nacelle]

Bulk buying

[crisp moth]

WAIT theres preorders?

[keen nacelle]

Evga queue, Antonline I think can preorder

Or whatever it's called

[crisp moth]

looking at evga now

[keen nacelle]

I'm not sure if evga queue is open 100% of the time

[crisp moth]

they have auto notify

[keen nacelle]

For some queues I think they open at certain times for sign ups

Zotac might do it that way but they're scalping anyways

[crisp moth]

you would think people using bots to scalp gpu's would get in some sort of trouble

if detected

[keen nacelle]

I wish

Best buy is doing in person drops now

So you could keep an eye on those

[crisp moth]

in person drops?

oh

[keen nacelle]

Only FE though, and FE cards (other than 3080 ti and 3070 ti) are non lhr, so miners love those too

And scalpers

[crisp moth]

bruh

[keen nacelle]

Most people wait for hours in line for a chance at getting one

[crisp moth]

alright so that's a lost cause

[keen nacelle]

Well

Maybe not, just depends on your dedication and schedule

[crisp moth]

also did they discontinue the 2060 super?

yea

[keen nacelle]

Yeah they don't produce gpus other than the current series afaik

They might for rmas

[crisp moth]

huh

and they are still super behind

[keen nacelle]

But idt they make more, there might be some still in stock but

Wdym?

[crisp moth]

they are still selling out like crazy

[keen nacelle]

The ones being sold aren't new

Well yeah ofc

[crisp moth]

yea

[keen nacelle]

But 20 series isn't new

It's not old

[crisp moth]

yes

[keen nacelle]

But it isn't the newest series

[crisp moth]

are the 20 series getting scalped as well?

[keen nacelle]

So they discontinue it from new manufacturing

[crisp moth]

like are people reselling them for a astonishing price because everything else is sold out

[keen nacelle]

Yeah

2060supers prolly going for up to 600 on ebay, maybe 550

[crisp moth]

I'm seeing 850 on newegg currently haven't checked ebay

[keen nacelle]

Dony check newegg or Amazon

No new retailers are good for that

[crisp moth]

oh

gotcha

[keen nacelle]

Sold listing on eBay is the most accurate

Stockx sometimes too

[covert token]

are people even able to buy gpus at msrp?

[crisp moth]

oh my 3080 prices on ebay are very interesting

[normal hawk]

Sometimes

[covert token]

i feel like they're all scams lol

[keen nacelle]

Eren jaeger

[mortal leaf]

nah it jsut overprice I THINK

[normal hawk]

What's your budget? @covert token there are plenty of 3080 ti's close to MSRP (although you do have to buy them in bundles)

[dark dragon]

what is msrp?

[crisp moth]

manufactuers suggested retail price

[normal hawk]

MSRP is the price set by the manufacturer

[crisp moth]

^

[dark dragon]

ohh ok

[mortal leaf]

danm i thought it like micro center or smt

[dark dragon]

😂😂

[crisp moth]

how is microcenter btw? never been

[viral agate]

I just got a new GPU, there’s a white LED light near the power cable connectors on the GPU. Does that light mean anything?

[vital oriole]

It just means that it gets power normally

Mine has that too

If it doesn't the light is off

[viral agate]

Thanks!

[dark dragon]
