passmark is decent enoug htho

[keen nacelle]

3060 is about 2070 perf

Close enough

[spare relic]

2060s/2070

[fringe cradle]

I’m assuming the 3060 is the best value one?

[keen nacelle]

More like 2070/2070s

Including dlss and rtx

[keen nacelle]

Depends

[spare relic]

3060ti is probably

[keen nacelle]

If you want 30 series it's whatever you can find at/near msrp

[spare relic]

or was

[fringe cradle]

I’m just wondering if it could run something like BFV at max settings

[keen nacelle]

Anything lower it's whatever you can find at a decent prices compared to market prices, or how their perofmrnace compares

At max? Let me check the settings

Or requirements

[fringe cradle]

Or without any frame drops

[spare relic]

yt search benchmarks of bfv with different cards

[keen nacelle]

2080 according to Google for max settings, 2070s would probably be fine

But Google isn't the end all be all

Actual benches would be more accurate

[heady turtle]

3060 ti, it's also as rare as a unicorn soo, also can't really quote a stable price sooo

[keen nacelle]

Well the lhr ones are a bit more common, but point stands

Still being scalped for 700+

[heady turtle]

Nah scalped for like 900ish

[keen nacelle]

Not on hws

I see them for 725 pretty often

Probably more often than I see 800

[heady turtle]

That's not really scalped tho

[keen nacelle]

Eh

[heady turtle]

That's just bit of a markup

[keen nacelle]

Semantics

[heady turtle]

800 is a bit but 725

[silent gazelle]

1.5L max No RGB 😅, AMD processor and 3060ti (I will wait for this from rptech), 32gb ram

[heady turtle]

amd not always better

[silent gazelle]

I thought everyone is preferring amd cpu

[keen nacelle]

10400 is a better option. 3600shouldnt be bought for 200$in 2021

Or whatever your currency equivelany of that is

10400k if you want to overclock

[silent gazelle]

Ryzen 7?

[keen nacelle]

No point for a 3060 ti

10400/3600 is perfect for 3060 ti, but 3600 is more expensive but slightly worse

Very very slightly

[heady turtle]

Depends on which ryzen 7

[cerulean rover]

[keen nacelle]

None really make sense here

[heady turtle]

Only 10600k and 11600k no 10400k

[cerulean rover]

Yeye, k varient of 10400 is basically just 10600k

[keen nacelle]

Sorry yeah

[heady turtle]

Easy enough mistake lol just fyi

[keen nacelle]

Isn't 10600k like 15% better?

[cerulean rover]

p sure it's more like single digits percentage wise but higher clocks does that to ya

[magic wing]

Ill make one after the apple event or when I wake up in the morning now

[silent gazelle]

Ok np 😅

[solemn panther]

mmmm

[silent gazelle]

this good?

[brisk ice]

If it's in stock
it's priceless

[keen nacelle]

What's that in usd?

[keen nacelle]

Lolno

[heady turtle]

I don't know much about indian pricing but looks to be pretty bleh

I'd just wait til @magic wing can help

[silent gazelle]

397 USD

[silent gazelle]

also just saw reviews and it is a scam site so ignore

[keen nacelle]

Personally i wouldn't spend more than 350 on a bnib 1660s, but as you said if its a scam it doesn't matter

[magic wing]

@silent gazelle im really sorry I couldnt help very hectic day just ping me tomorrow morning when you wake up and ill be sure to help you

Have bad headache rn and cant thing good

[silent gazelle]

no hurry we have all the time

take rest

[hot folio]

I wonder why Newegg is bundling Z390 mobos

I mean I get why but like there’s been Z490 and Z590

[heady turtle]

My guess is stock that didn't sell lol

[maiden valve]

hey all. i just was pointed here by newegg, i'm curious if anyone can help out...i recently purchased a zotac rtx 3090, and am attempting to power it via an evga supernova 850w p2... i can't seem to find the right cabling for this. should be 8-pin to 8-pin...does anyone know of the right cables for this? thanks so much. also...let me know if i'm in the wrong chat for this question.

[mighty island]

uhhh

you mean custom cables?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z8J37M9/

[maiden valve]

hopefully not. there are adapters that came with it that do 6-pin to 8-pin. not sure if that's the right way to run it or what.

[mighty island]

should be 8 pin to 8 pin indeed

i have a psu with the same cables

this is for graphics card

the one with the split end marked VGA goes into the card

unmarked one with no split end goes into the power supply

[maiden valve]

so the cableMod ones will work with the gpu right?

[mighty island]

yeah you'll need 2-3 depending on your gpu though

[maiden valve]

yep, definitely need 2

[mighty island]

if you lost the original cables then buying custom cables is gonna be your only option

luckily they are not too overpriced

[maiden valve]

yeah, that's ok. i'll just buy two of those. thanks so much @mighty island . you are a lifesaver. 🙂

[mighty island]

$15 each and you have a few color choices

np

enjoy the new card

[maiden valve]

🙂

[compact nova]

I put a 3070ti into an older PC with a 6600k on a Z170 Mobo and it boots up fine. Also has a 650watt PSU. My new build has a 600watt PSU could that cause it not to boot up ?

I put a 1060 GPU into the new build and it boots up fine no issues. My new build is a Asus ROG Strix B550-I with a Ryzen 5 5600x .

[hot folio]

I wouldn’t run a 3070ti off of a 600watt psu

Minimum I’d run is 700w

[normal hawk]

Alec how's your PC going?

[compact panther]

the EVGA card looks better

[inner hull]

can someone help me OC?

[compact panther]

i love EVGA pascal

[hot folio]

It’s very slowly coming along, still researching parts for it

Only thing I bought so far are two m.2 drives

[normal hawk]

Ah lol

Which ones?

[slate wolf]

Incorrect

[wintry imp]

i got an issue boys, when i first got my pc this thing ran like a tank, now fast forward about 9 months later, this thing is beginnning to slow

lagging constantly in games that were always smooth

anyone know possible reasons?

[compact nova]

Well unfortunately their isn't alot of choices when your building a SFF. I put a 650watt in which is what the box recommends. And still have a black screen.

[cerulean rover]

What specs

[wintry imp]

1660 super, r5 3600, 16gb 3200mhz, 2tb hdd

[cerulean rover]

Got drivers?

[wintry imp]

yep

471.96 <-- latest driver

gpu driver

idk what other drivers i need

[cerulean rover]

Chipset drivers perhaps, monitor very rarely gets drivers,

[wintry imp]

chipset drivers?

wym

[compact panther]

close all background tasks

including discoed afterburner etc.

see if that fixes it

[wintry imp]

done it before after a fresh reset on pc

didn't increase or help much

[cerulean rover]

My board for example

[wintry imp]

wait

mobo drivers might help

i thought about it back then

didn't bother trying

[cerulean rover]

windows update/rollback might help

windows debugging might help

might want to check if xmp is off for some reason

[wintry imp]

turned it on a few days ago

i might just do a mobo driver update

you think that might help?

[cerulean rover]

might help, who knows

[wintry imp]

ight gotcha

[compact panther]

temps everything okay yeah

[wintry imp]

yea

gpu runs around 70 degrees

wait @cerulean rover should i attempt to do a whole bios update or certain ones like the amd chipset?

[cerulean rover]

just do the simple software ones like chipset first

[wintry imp]

awlright

[cerulean rover]

bios updates annoying and there's always the slight risk

[wintry imp]

yea

understandable

[cerulean rover]

(not-so-fun things will happen to the motherboard if your power goes out during bios update)

[wintry imp]

yea

You know any good websites that could possibly show me the statistics of the best performing driver for my gpu?

@cerulean rover you know how I could check my installed chipset version?

[indigo valve]

hi. im really happy with my new card. won newegg shuffle two week ago.

[past plinth]

Yo question from a low graphics noobie

[cerulean rover]

wat

[past plinth]

if I have a UHD Graphics 620 and im trying to run a GTX 660 1GB game what are my odds?

Of like, running the game at all

[dreamy dragon]

qepiz#2929 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[livid idol]

The GTX 660 is far more powerful than the UHD 620 in just about every way, by a large margin

[past plinth]

Figured

So essentially, I would be running an IMAX on a potato

[livid idol]

You could set it to 720p lowest settings and maybe get 30 fps

[past plinth]

Lmao its a FPS game so i will pry run into the bullets i manage to shoot

Well I appreciate the help

Broke gaming = no gaming i guess

[livid idol]

You could always give it a try yourself. Not much to lose besides your time, and maybe it'll exceed expectations.

[vital oriole]

^

[past plinth]

Guess so, its for splitgate so its free afterall

I did manage to load Subnautica and Phas through some magical rejiggering of my computer permissions, so I guess we will see

[livid idol]

Even if you buy it on steam you can get it refunded easily

[analog badge]

one of my friends runs a 660 and somehow managed to get valorant running at 1080p 144fps

[livid idol]

That's because that game doesn't need much GPU power, mostly CPU

[analog badge]

that's why i bottleneck in it

[livid idol]

If it's CoD warzone it still mainly uses the CPU but needs more GPU

[past plinth]

Update: It runs like butter, but it looks like a potato. Im getting usable framerates and its not too shabby

[livid idol]

That's better than garbage frame rate at least

Okay so update: pumped the graphics all the way up, resolution up, etc... GPU is also hogged because chrome is running like 8 tabs. Even with all of this, game runs like butter? This shouldnt be possible and im confused.

[spare relic]

wym?

[livid idol]

The game they're running calls for a GTX 660 but they only have UHD 620 integrated

[past plinth]

Yeah

And it was running like a dream in training mode

Like I can barely run games that require half that process and GPU

tbf 660 is pretty low but dang

[winged minnow]

what is the best gpu rn

[vital oriole]

3090

[junior locust]

Whatever you can get for not exorbitant amounts of money tbh

[vital oriole]

if value then eeeeeeh, depends on budget

but if it's best in performance

3090 lol

also that's true, gpus are inflated in price these days

[winged minnow]

btw does a nvidia rtx differ from a gigabyte rtx?

[vital oriole]

gigabyte is an aib

[junior locust]

nowadays GPUs are very close to each other in performance

[vital oriole]

they use their own design

but the gpu is the same

[winged minnow]

does this mean its for vanity?

[livid idol]

The only major difference in brands for the same model is cooler design

[vital oriole]

sometimes it could be bad or good, depends on the design

[junior locust]

AMD and nVidia are within spitting distance in most if not all performance category (save for raytracing, which I personally don't really care for)

[vital oriole]

yeah it's just brand

and cooler design

[winged minnow]

ok

[junior locust]

what do you want to do with it?

[vital oriole]

nvidia sells em the chip

they design stuff around it, following nvidia's specs

[livid idol]

There's a few models that are factory overclocked but right now... just get what you can

[mortal leaf]

do you guys have 40000$

[junior locust]

Yeah depends on what you want to use it for

[mortal leaf]

or 1 bitcoin

cause that is pretty cool

[junior locust]

Do we look like that?

[mortal leaf]

uhh

kinda

[vital oriole]

i dont think anyone has 1 btc lying around here kek

[mortal leaf]

ree

why

i thoguth they are miner

[junior locust]

Cuz crypto is kinda dumb lmfao

[vital oriole]

it's a big sum

[mortal leaf]

so

[vital oriole]

mining to 1 btc is actually

[livid idol]

Just because miner doesn't mean bitcoin

[mortal leaf]

does anyone have 1000$

[vital oriole]

very long to reach that

[mortal leaf]

i think you guys have 1000$

[livid idol]

Yeah I've got that much

[vital oriole]

eh i have only like 200

[junior locust]

You spend more on power and hardware than that's worth lol

[mortal leaf]

what about 10000$

do you guys have 10000$

[livid idol]

Not even close

[mortal leaf]

i think some people have tho

[junior locust]

jango
I don't think it's appropriate to fish around in other people's wallets over Discord

[mortal leaf]

chill

[winged minnow]

what gpu would the ps5 be equivilant to?

[junior locust]

Probably a good idea to kindly cease and desist

[mortal leaf]

1050ti?

[junior locust]

Well, I'd say a 3070 can do that

[mortal leaf]

3070 huh

how many is a ps5

[winged minnow]

bruh

[livid idol]

If they go too far I'm right here

[junior locust]

wait can they go 4k?

[junior locust]

salutes Gotcha

[mortal leaf]

hey how much is a ps5

[winged minnow]

a gtx 1650 can run minecraft in 4k

[junior locust]

Minecraft needs no resources nearly

it's not a demanding game at all

[mortal leaf]

how dare you

it need ram tho

[vital oriole]

it's

actually demanding

[junior locust]

or 800$

[vital oriole]

falcie yeet em

[livid idol]

The PS5 GPU is rated at 10.28 teraflops. That's less than the RTX 3060, rated at 12.8 TFlops

[winged minnow]

400

[mortal leaf]

danm

my place sell for 800$ lmao

[vital oriole]

phew

[mortal leaf]

what about a ps4

[vital oriole]

ps4 has like two versions

digital edition and normal, with blu ray

[livid idol]

Ye there's the pro model

[vital oriole]

digital edition lacks it

[winged minnow]

can the ps5 perform better than my laptop that i bought for the same price specs : gtx 1650 intel core i5

[vital oriole]

yes

[junior locust]

consoles are really good with optimization, that's why they need less horsepower

[vital oriole]

quite a bit better

not quite a bit tbh

it probably kills 1650

[junior locust]

One hardware, one software

[vital oriole]

consoles got so much faster since last gen

[livid idol]

They asked what an equivalent GPU would be, not equivalent performance

[winged minnow]

ive bought the laptop so that i outclass all consoles

[vital oriole]

last gen was pretty weak

8 jaguar cores

1.8 ghz iirc

[junior locust]

laptops suck for gaming in the long run

they overheat hardcore and throttle

[vital oriole]

uhm

[winged minnow]

i couldnt find a good pc

[vital oriole]

not all laptops does

if you go cheap on em they tend to be crap

[junior locust]

Ones you can afford do

[vital oriole]

there's actually good ones for lower price points

[winged minnow]

i would have built a pc if not due to the gpu shortage

[junior locust]

to be fair I am not in possession of a really high-end one

[livid idol]

You just need to be good at percussive maintenance 🔨

[mortal leaf]

😎

[junior locust]

but my experience with laptops has been... Less then pleasurable so far

[vital oriole]

I basically lived my whole life with laptops

[winged minnow]

the laptop was my first gaming machine that is actually ment for gaming , and it was a massive jump from mobile

[junior locust]

the schtick was that you can build a better PC for less than a gaming laptop

but now with the scuffed pricing of everything that seems nigh impossible

[winged minnow]

if this is a gtx 1650 i cant comprehend the rtx 3090

[junior locust]

the 1650 is... Pretty mediocre afaik

[vital oriole]

it's entry level gaming gpu

better than 1050ti at least

[junior locust]

and the laptop 1650 is dumbed down from the desktop 1650 too

[vital oriole]

not too dumbed down tho

[winged minnow]

its runs every game i play at atleast 120fps

[vital oriole]

just 10-15%

[junior locust]

Fair ig
Still less than the desktop one

[vital oriole]

tru

[livid idol]

Reduced power limit but still mostly the same GPU

[junior locust]

Send it up against Cyberpunk
You will cry

or rather

Cyberbug

[vital oriole]

Laptop chips are basically designed better tbh

They retain perf

While consuming much less

Since like pascal it was like that

[winged minnow]

cant i overclock..

[vital oriole]

nah

Don't do it on a laptop

[junior locust]

It will cause issues

[livid idol]

Laptops, you can undervolt and get some more perf out of it

[vital oriole]

well if you go mild with it

im running vram oc on mine heh

for a year so far, no problem

but i don't dare oc the core

[winged minnow]

is nividia performance tunning over clocking

[junior locust]

Laptop overclocking is more risk than gain

[vital oriole]

nope

it's not oc

[livid idol]

Not if you do it right

[vital oriole]

also ^

i certainly did oc mine right ngl

[livid idol]

The only real risk with overclocking is putting too much power into it, which isn't a risk with laptops

[junior locust]

You're likely to kill the first couple ones you do unless you're like extremely conservative. If you go over the threshold the slightest, you'll get magic smoke fast

I personally wouldn't do it to something I own

[dreamy dragon]

BlAckH0le#3965 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[junior locust]

...

[livid idol]

I've never killed a GPU and I've been overclocking since the Radeon 5770

[junior locust]

As I was saying
I value my stuff too much to mess around and accidentally kill it

could be just me

But I don't want to kill something I paid a lot of money for

[livid idol]

There's almost no risk involved with GPU overclock, unless you increase voltage or power limit past the stock limits

I could put my GPU core up to +1000 and the worst that will happen is it'll crash and either recover or reboot

[junior locust]

I was thinking

I saw Youtubers do dual water loops

is there a tangible benefit to that for spending a 500 bucks on an extra pump, res and stuff?

[livid idol]

For the average person? No. Not worth it at all.

[junior locust]

I mean going custom water is usually not worth it already, right?

[livid idol]

In most cases, yeah. A simple AIO is plenty for most.

[junior locust]

I'm talking in the world of already spending a grand on watercooling parts
Should I spend the 500 extra? Will it make a difference that is noticable?

[livid idol]

Adding an extra pump/res won't make a difference unless you have a large amount of radiators and tubing slowing down the flow of liquid to the point where it's not transferring heat as efficiently

I'm talking 2x 560mm radiators

[junior locust]

so at like overkill levels (something like dual 4×120 and a 3×120)?

[livid idol]

At really overkill levels yeah an extra pump on the opposite end of the loop might be good

[junior locust]

how I saw it is
a 4×120 and the CPU on one loop
And 4×120+3×120 with the GPU on the other loop

[livid idol]

That's the kind of system you put on your 4x nvlinked 3090s

[junior locust]

For a single 3080

[livid idol]

Air is fine for a single 3080 tbh

[junior locust]

my point being the 2 loops entirely independent
I guess the one thing it has is
Maybe that if you swap your GPU, you only need to drain the GPU side, not the CPU side

[livid idol]

Oh 2 isolated loops? I've seen those, they're a lot harder to work with and maintain

[junior locust]

yea isolated loops

I guess you pay in pain in the hind end for modularity

[magic wing]

easier to drain the whole thing when needed than maintain 2 loops just in case you need to change something out

[livid idol]

You also pay in currency for that totally ridiculous and unnecessary setup, so unless you're getting paid to make it (like a youtuber) there's no point.

[junior locust]

so a single CPU+GPU loop is perfectly adequate

[livid idol]

100% fine

[magic wing]

depends

rad size and pump strength matters

[junior locust]

I mean isn't the D5 like the gob standard because it's so good?

[livid idol]

For a single CPU and GPU, one open loop is fine

D5 is just nice in so many ways

Great flow, quiet, and fits nicely on the fan bracket

I saw one person on here stick a pond pump onto his loop, it's a little ridiculous

[junior locust]

lol

sounds overkill
Also really loud and ugly

[silent gazelle]

not only RTX even GTX are also not available in India rip

[winged minnow]

does the gtx 3090 exsist

[livid idol]

No it's RTX, if you see GTX 3090 it's a scam

[silent gazelle]

i mean not only 20,30series cards are rare but also older cards

[magic wing]

they arent available anywhere

[winged minnow]

why does the nvidia control pannel have missing settings for me?

[livid idol]

Some of them need to be enabled or it sensed that you don't have hardware compatible with those settings

[winged minnow]

ok

how to know if my hard ware isnt compatible

[livid idol]

What setting is missing?

[winged minnow]

all of the display settings

i cant set custom resolution and stuf

[livid idol]

Hmm, you might want to run DDU in safe mode and reinstall the latest drivers

[winged minnow]

ok

Wait are you on a laptop?

[winged minnow]

ye

[cosmic bluff]

Doesnt some laptops not get that feature unless you have an external monitor?

[livid idol]

Oh well that'll do it to

Yeah you can't really do custom resolutions on a laptop panel

[winged minnow]

ok

am planing on buyying a 144hz monitor anyways

[cosmic bluff]

What gpu does your laptop have like a 1650m?

[junior locust]

I can set custom resolution on my old Asus

But only lower ones lmfao

[winged minnow]

gtx 1650

[junior locust]

cries in having a 1600×900 display

[cosmic bluff]

I say 1650 m cause its a laptop gpu so its considered a mobile version

[vital oriole]

it has no m

[cosmic bluff]

Oh

[winged minnow]

yea it doesnt

[vital oriole]

nvidia dropped the m naming since pascal tbh

[cosmic bluff]

Huh im just used to saying m to help myself with the mobiles to desktop grade

[vital oriole]

that's fine too

[cosmic bluff]

And the fact my old laptop used a 965m

It also had a I7-6700HQ as well with 16gb of so-dimm ram i forgot the speed cause i never paid any attention to it but yeah some laptops dont get that feature afaik anymore unless you have an external monitor

Maybe a 55?

550*

[deep wren]

i cant tell form that angle tbh

[normal hawk]

Yeah could be

[keen nacelle]

With the size I'd guess 550 or 560 but I don't want to say for sure, since I don't know for sure

[heady turtle]

Can you see if there's a sticker of some sort on it, usually on the backplate or something

[keen nacelle]

Oh nice pc upgrade top

Lol

[normal hawk]

It's my workstation yeee

Still gotta put together the other one

[keen nacelle]

Wait

[heady turtle]

That could be like any gpu without getting a different angle lol

[keen nacelle]

I recognize that build I think

[normal hawk]

It's a cyberpower streamer build

[keen nacelle]

It's near identical to the skytech build I had, except for the gpu

Oh

Nvm then lmao

Same heatsink, case, and fans

Even same cables

[normal hawk]

They are selling it with a monitor for 700$. Was curious cause the capture card, monitor, and such could be worth a bit if i piece it out lol

[keen nacelle]

What monitor?

[normal hawk]

An Asus. I don't see a model number on it.

[keen nacelle]

It isn't a 550

[heady turtle]

Can you ask to turn on the pc and have a look at the specs in settings?

[normal hawk]

Maybe lol

[keen nacelle]

Prolly not a 560 either by a Google image lmao

Wait

We're being stupid

We can google an image lmao

[heady turtle]

That could be anything from a 200 to a 500 series card tbh

Without seeing other angles

[normal hawk]

It's probably a 4gb 580 ngl

[keen nacelle]

Nvm Google came up with nothing

[normal hawk]

They didn't have any Pokemon games e.e it's the reason I go here

[keen nacelle]

F

[deep wren]

f

[normal hawk]

Oh Pato, i got my temps to idle in the 30's. The mirror case i spoke about months ago has much better airflow than i thought xD

[heady turtle]

Oh nice

[normal hawk]

Ye

Was gonna use the open air case, but the tubes of the AIO weren't long enough to get to the CPU from where it's meant to be so I had to swap cases

I'll probably put my old workstation in the open air case for the office that they have for the 3d printer and such 🤷‍♂️ no pets in there so it should be mostly dust free

[normal hawk]

Nooooo

I can't find the screws to my case 😭

[heady turtle]

Rip

[normal hawk]

I find screws that work so i can at least close it. Only thing in there is a CPU, Mobo, and SSD 🤷‍♂️

[wispy thunder]

What is a good Graphics Card for Gaming / Streaming (Usually Fortnite or Minecraft)

[cerulean rover]

depends on budget

[wispy thunder]

$2,000 AUD

[cerulean rover]

for just the gpu?

[livid idol]

The good news is you don't need a strong GPU for those games, they run fine on integrated graphics lol

Something like RTX 2060 would do just fine, and you can enable the raytracing options

Or a RX 6600XT

[wispy thunder]

I'm looking at a pc website builder and the only thing in stock is a 1060 SUPER 4GB

Would that work or no

[cerulean rover]

uh, 1650 super?

[livid idol]

It'll work but no ray tracing
But uh, there's no such thing as a 1060 super. Maybe they mean 1660 super?

[wispy thunder]

1650 I meant 😂

[wispy thunder]

1650 I'm blind

[livid idol]

That would still work, but make sure you're not paying too much for it

[wispy thunder]

I have sent a image to you in DMs of the parts.

[wispy thunder]

Yes

[livid idol]

That's about $1467 in USD
That's not a good deal

[wispy thunder]

I'm in Australia

That's AUS

AUD

Not a good deal?

[livid idol]

And you're paying a lot more for that than I've seen for newer parts

Let me see what I can find

[wispy thunder]

Ok thanks ❤️

I'm trying to get the best pc for around 2k AUD

Like the best it can be

[livid idol]

You can literally get a laptop with more power than that pc at that price

[wispy thunder]

Ok. I'm going to buy a pc not a laptop tho 🤔

[livid idol]

Just putting it in perspective, I'm still looking

[wispy thunder]

OHHH

Lol sorry 😂

[livid idol]

You could do this one https://www.newegg.com/global/au-en/msi-aegis-se-10sc-221us/p/N82E16883152854?quicklink=true

Has a 10400 (about equal to 5600X) and a 2060, other specs aren't bad. If you really need to you can open the front or side panel for more air.

[wispy thunder]

How do I see the specs

What's a 10400

[livid idol]

It should all be in the link. i5 10400 is the processor

[wispy thunder]

OHHHHH

Ok

That seems not that bad!

It's got 240gb storage

[livid idol]

Plus 1TB hdd

[wispy thunder]

I can take that out and replace with a 1tb storage

[livid idol]

The storage should be completely replaceable

[wispy thunder]

Ok that's good

So I can carefully take out the

Old 240gb

And replace with 1tb

I'm getting a friend over aswell to help me set it up

[livid idol]

I'm running my computer off a 256GB ssd and it works just fine. You can add in a third drive for faster game storage.

[wispy thunder]

Ok

Im going to be doing a lot of editing oncit

So that's why I need the 1tb 😀

[livid idol]

It has the 240gb ssd and also the 1tb hdd, but adding a third drive would be super easy

[wispy thunder]

Ok

I'm new to pcs

So what one is the main storage

[livid idol]

The SSD should be set up as the boot drive and where programs are stored, then the HDD will be for media like videos and music plus games

[wispy thunder]

Also it has a picture of the Keyboard and Mouse so will I get that aswell?

[livid idol]

Yes you get the MSI mouse and keyboard

[wispy thunder]

Pog

Now just a good monitor 😉

[livid idol]

I'd recommend a MSI Optix G241/G242, 24" 1080p high refresh and good reviews

[wispy thunder]

Ok

MSI Optic G241/G242 24" 1080p

Ok

[livid idol]

Yeah, either the G241 or G242, whichever is available and cheaper because they're basically the same

[wispy thunder]

What about

AOC 27G2 27" Frameless Gaming IPS Monitor, FHD 1080p, 1ms 144Hz, FreeSync, HDMI/DP/VGA, Height Adjustable, 3-Year Zero Dead Pixel Guarantee

It's cheaper than the one u suggested

[livid idol]

27" 1080p is kinda bad because of pixel density, unless you sit more than 2 feet (0.6m) from the screen you'll be able to see the individual pixels

[wispy thunder]

Ah k

[compact panther]

guess the monitor

[red panther]

3080ti strix vs 3090 ftw3. What's the better value at msrp? Only novice UR4 usecases.

[cerulean rover]

ue4? Here's a chart for overall performance done by pugetsystems

link to article:
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Unreal-Engine-4-26---NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3080-Ti-Performance-2169/

[lone pond]

im so tired of waiting on reasonably priced GPUs, that are actually in stock
im so dang tired...

[red panther]

Thanks, that was super informative

[livid idol]

Well you'll be tired for at least the next 2 years minimum

[lone pond]

can i rob a bank

[red panther]

For gaming it's in favor of the strix yea?

[livid idol]

I would advise against that

[lone pond]

anyone got a uno reverse or monopoly get out of jail free card

[red panther]

I know we are nostalgic rn, but it's not actually the 90s

Create your own nft and shill.

Call it gpustonkz

And just put a photo of yourself crying looking at a 3090. Ez.

[cerulean rover]

nope, most like slightly in favor of 3090

[red panther]

Nothing horrible with the EVGA 3090 FTW3s now, yeah? All the issues of last fall I assume have been fixed.

Though, I thought I heard New World was causing those issues.

[cerulean rover]

I mean, afaik they'll still need thermal pads if you're planning on mining

[red panther]

I'm going to put em in a loop.

[livid idol]

It was a combination of that game and shoddy soldering

[red panther]

Perfect storm rofl.

[livid idol]

It was a very limited run of GPUs affected, all the known affected ones are recalled or repaired by now

[cerulean rover]

yea

anyways

games a bit weird, it's back and forth between 3090 and 3080ti at some places, but very similar overall, I'd say slight edge to 3090

[red panther]

Hm. I had a waterforce I sold to a friend, so I'm just deciding for myself between these two.

3080ti has me worried only because I'm on an ultrawide, dat vrm.

[cerulean rover]

..?

not sure what monitor has to do with gpu vrms..?

[livid idol]

I think he means VRAM, but 12gb is plenty for 4k ultrawide still

You might get closer to 20gb at 8k

In certain games at least

[red panther]

Sorry, yes, VRAM.

[lone pond]

🧀

[brisk flame]

🥛

[compact panther]

8gb is fine for ultrawide 4k

[livid idol]

In most games yeah

Some games actually have real 4k (or higher) textures that take up more memory

[vital oriole]

^

But 8 gigs basically limits your gpu lol

Like if vram doesn't limit 3070 it woulda had better 4k perf than 3060ti

[cosmic bluff]

can i do that with my 3090?

[normal hawk]

Never been bothered by coil whine

Hopefully that means my GPU's don't have it

[vital oriole]

My laptop has a coil whine sometimes when its plugged in

But it's barely audible

I have to put my ear on it

[normal hawk]

Oh my phone has coil whine when it's fast charging

Yes my phone has a fan in it

[faint kindle]

What phone do you have?

Geez

[normal hawk]

Redmagic 5G ye

[livid idol]

Same, and I'm surrounded by cheap apartment wiring and appliances that constantly hum and whine...

[faint kindle]

I never realized that sensitivity to sound and stuff can be an ADHD thing, and I’ve never gone to the doctor for it but I definitely should

there’s a lot more than that tho lol

well i take that back

I did go when I was young and they diagnosed me with it and gave me meds

but my mom said it made me weird and took me off of it

[livid idol]

I keep a nice pair of noise canceling headphones on almost every waking hour and it helps a little

Too bad my kids shredded the foam and now I need a new pair...

They damaged a lot more than just the foam though, the cord is slightly pulled out so I'd need to open it up to solder it and hope the audio quality is still ok

You should see the paint they peeled off the bedroom door. Back to that cheap apartment stuff. At least it's probably not lead paint since it's only 3 layers.

What is it with kids and paint (both kinds of kids apparently)

[keen nacelle]

This is why I don't want kids

[livid idol]

I feel like apartments should either not charge a pet deposit or charge a child deposit too, because kids seem to cause more damage than any cat I've ever had.

That's never stopped mine from grabbing my hand in both paws to lick and nibble on my fingers

I did have one cat that liked to chew cords but I just got braided cords and she stopped

[keen nacelle]

My cat will claw the heck out of my arm hugging it

[sterile zodiac]

Not really related, but our goats slowly peel the shingles off the edges of their houses 🤦‍♂️

Had an EVGA step-up to an RTX 3080 from a 3070, but at this rate I may as well not do it since by the time my number is up I have to start thinking about the RTX 5080.

[tender nebula]

Is the 1060 6gb worth $290 to invest?

[keen nacelle]

I wouldn't spend more than 225 on it

[tender nebula]

Yea that’s what I thought thanks

[cerulean rover]

'invest'..?

Buying a 1060 for 290$, no

not sure what you mean by invest

[dreamy dragon]

EXILITY#0586 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vital pivot]

@vapid wind take the step up. Even if it takes a year to full fill you are set

And if it takes that long you might get a 4080

Not signing up for the evga step up is stupid.

[keen nacelle]

Yeah tbf 3080 will perform somewhere around 4060 ti, judging by past generational performance jumps

[compact panther]

1080 ti = 2080 moment incoming

[keen nacelle]

I didn't think that through did i

Wait no

Yes I did

1080 is about 2070 not including dlss or rtx

Including dlss it's probably around 2060s no?

[vital pivot]

No

[cerulean rover]

2060 super and 2070 are quite close together anyways

[elfin wasp]

Our son has a gt1030 in computer now . What card will play Cod, rainbow six , deep rock galactic ?

[keen nacelle]

1650 is the most entry level you can get really, i don't know how demanding DRG is, but warzones and cold war base gpu reccomended is 1650

Tho if he wants to play vanguard it could be more demanding, I have no clue

[keen nacelle]

What wattage is the psu btw?

[elfin wasp]

He’s 16 so not a fortune

450 watts, intel i5

[knotty folio]

Get him a 1660S probably the more inexpensive card that will pack a punch imo

[keen nacelle]

which i5?

10400 id guess?

1660s would prolly be the best bet, i agree, it can keep up with everything thrown at it pretty well and it can be found ~350 pretty often iirc

obviously a 3060 at msrp would be better but thats if hes fine with waiting for a good while camping drops and such

and 450w would be fine for a 1660s, according to google

3060 would be pushing it

[earnest current]

yeah personally id want 500 or 550w for a 3060 long term

[heady turtle]

For 3060 min i would go is 550w

[elfin wasp]

Thank you. Dependable place to get one a 1660 ?
I know all electronics have gone through the roof and are crazy prices

[brave violet]

B-stock has some 20series and 1660 yesterday. and BB had some today too

But will it be GDDR6 or GDDR6X? Or what

I think it be GDDR6. Like the 3060

[vital oriole]

alchemist

what a name

[normal hawk]

Lol i found my 560 ti

It's so dusty on the fan

[livid idol]

I've seen worse, but that's still really dusty. Blower fans can be pretty bad.

[normal hawk]

Yee

[lone pond]

Omg that fan design

Here we go

[livid idol]

The fans are supposed to rotate against each other creating less turbulence, which means less noise

[lone pond]

I had titan card and it had similar fan too 🤔

[open umbra]

I would really like to get a new graphics card to play newer titles i have a 1070sc right now

[livid idol]

Check the buying guide in the pins, it's really hard to get a GPU right now unless you're lucky.

[open umbra]

oh thank you

[spare relic]

good gpu tho

[open umbra]

yea its decent but i would like to play newer titles and at higher fps

[open umbra]

its also the one thing that is bottlenecking my entire computer cause i have 32gb of 3200mhz and i have a i7 9700k

[spare relic]

I mean I guess

it's truly not a bad bottleneck to have

[livid idol]

Technically the bottleneck but upgrading will make something else the bottleneck

[spare relic]

my bottleneck is my cpu

[open umbra]

what is in your system?

[spare relic]

i5-4460, gtx 970

16gb ddr3 1600

my pc at home is an i7-4790, gt 730, 12gb ddr3 1600

[open umbra]

wow

[spare relic]

need to switch cpus lol

[twilit mirage]

It's literally impossible to upgrade GPUs rn

[livid idol]

It's possible if you're persistent but still not easy

[vital oriole]

gtx 970?

Nah it's fine with 4460

I don't see bottlenecks ngl

But swapping the cpu is defo gonna make things better

4790 is better

[spare relic]

stutters in

something

fm7?

I think

mc with shaders

but that's partly just 970 limitations

[livid idol]

That's memory mostly with stuttering

[spare relic]

oh yeh

that was before I put in the ram

that's right

it had 2x4 cl11

now 2x8 cl9

https://tenor.com/view/sirenhead-dancing-sirenhead-gif-18407327

[livid idol]

I think that would be even more terrifying than normal

[spare relic]

lol

siren head gave up on eating people, too boring, wasn't scary

when you've got nothing to lose, you've got nothing to lose

dance break

[normal hawk]

What GPU are you looking for?

[twilit mirage]

Been looking for an RTX 2060 or higher

[normal hawk]

What's your budget?

[twilit mirage]

But literally they're all out of stock or 2-3x the price

I'd say $600. Which honestly is a lot for that lol

[normal hawk]

Ah okay. Are you fine with amd cards?

[twilit mirage]

AMD is ight but they score a lot less in performance ratings for a higher cost

[livid idol]

On last gen stuff maybe but current gen is pretty competitive, especially since they're not as badly scalped right now

[compact panther]

5700 xt prices are meme

as are vega

and polaris

older than that is good

as is navi 20

[twilit mirage]

I've been watching it for a longggg time now lol

[compact panther]

GCN is the gift that keeps on giving

its too based

illegally based

7970 as a card is still relevant today

680?

[twilit mirage]

Lol

I'm currently running on a 960

[compact panther]

maxwell solid too

kepler just sucks

aged like

milk

[twilit mirage]

Guess I'll just keep praying I draw lucky out of the shuffle lollll

[compact panther]

you can pick up a 1070 for abouts $350-400

or a 1080 ti for 550

[twilit mirage]

Yeah that's a joke

I'm not spending that much on a 1070 when 3060s are supposed to be that price ;-;

[compact panther]

newegg shuffle is a joke

[twilit mirage]

Yeah it is tbh

[compact panther]

not like 3060 is that much better

3060 is like

1080 level

3060 is more of a joke than newegg shuffle

[twilit mirage]

Pretty much, unless you get a 3060 ti

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4349946

Sadly because it's only available in a combo it's over your budget.

[compact panther]

meh.

[twilit mirage]

I mean because its in the bundle it really isnt bad at all

[compact panther]

i'd rather buy a 1080 ti for 550

[normal hawk]

It's like 100$ more than it should be

The GPU i mean

[compact panther]

toss in tax and shipping

not worth

and you have to get rid of that crapster board

[twilit mirage]

Yepppp

I definitely appreciate the looking tho

[compact panther]

nobody wants it

[normal hawk]

Ye, don't go for it

[twilit mirage]

Piece of junk lol

[compact panther]

wish we could buy and sell on this server

but anyways

theres also 1080 on HWS for like $400-450

thats about 6600 xt perf

nvm

i say 1080 ti for 550

[twilit mirage]

That's still so overpriced ;-;

Frickin bitcoin miners and scrappers

Smh

[heady stratus]

My 1070 ti went for 350 , MSRP was 500, that's about on the level

[vital oriole]

it's not actually bitcoin they mine, they mine ethereum

also tbh miners are basically small part, it's more everyone wanting gpu when production couldn't meet demand in time

so there goes the market for gpus

[twilit mirage]

Still. Its bs

[livid idol]

They're only a small part of the bigger problem

Maybe 20,000 units out of 2 million sold

People just like to blame miners because it's easy

[timid narwhal]

furthermore, workstation GPUs are a very specific use case. My brother is a special effects artists, and he said the quadros are no good for him, he got a 3090

yup, just adding to your point

there, fixed my post to make it less argumentative

https://tenor.com/view/predator-handshake-muscle-strong-man-gif-5783927

[livid idol]

If you need more than the 24GB just get 2 3090s and NVlink them

Still cheaper than a titan

Last I checked they were around 10k for the top models, lemme look now

[normal hawk]

The equivalent Quadro to the 3090, RTX 6000 is twice the price of the 3090 i bought i think.

[livid idol]

RTX A5000 is about 3k right now

[normal hawk]

You can get em for 2.3k~

[livid idol]

A6000 is over 5k, many places closer to 6k

Cheaper to link 2 3090s, like I said lol

[normal hawk]

https://www.amazon.com/PNY-QUADRO-5000-Graphic-Card/dp/B07JG1YBKY/ 2.4k for a 5000. But a 3090 is better in most use cases

[livid idol]

That shroud design makes me physically ill

[normal hawk]

I like it

[livid idol]

Imagine cooling a 3090 with a single blower fan like that

[normal hawk]

https://www.newegg.com/p/1FT-0004-006M7

A100 though is so square and sleek

[timid narwhal]

3D rendering doesnt even need an nvlink

[normal hawk]

Data Center cards 🥵

[livid idol]

The 5000 and the A5000 are different models it seems

[normal hawk]

Oh true. Forgot about those

I'd get one just to look at it

If i had money to waste

[timid narwhal]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-rains-partners-parade-cancelling-geforce-rtx-3090-turbo

my brothers 3090 👀

[normal hawk]

🥵

[livid idol]

That's from February, they're still talking about a 3090 ti currently

But yeah I wonder why that was cancelled? Couldn't be a blower is insufficient for workstation tasks or that workstations tend to have poor airflow

[normal hawk]

Asus and emtek had 3090 blowers as well

[livid idol]

I notice that they're low power models too, dual 8 pin

[normal hawk]

They are for data centers. AIB's trying to undercut nvidia's a100

[vital oriole]

I think those went outta production soon after

[normal hawk]

Sadly

[vital oriole]

Probably cause Nvidia wasn't happy about it

Hey, I've heard that ventus coolers are not that good. Is that true?

[cerulean rover]

kinda

ventus cooler on 2000 series cards really sucked

ventus 3x on 3000 series cards is okay

ventus 2x is meh

[shrewd smelt]

oh ok

thanks

[heady turtle]

Ventus 3x is fine on like 3070/ti or lower

But dont buy a ventus 3080+ imo unless you're gonna water block it

[shrewd smelt]

yeah im talking about the https://pcpartpicker.com/product/tkTp99/msi-geforce-rtx-3060-12-gb-ventus-3x-oc-video-card-rtx3060ventus3x12goc

[woeful marten]

is a 3070 ti better or equal to the 2080 ti?

[keen nacelle]

That'd be fine

[shrewd smelt]

awesome thanks

[keen nacelle]

2080 ti= regular 3070 for anything other than 4k

And 4k is stupid to run in that caliber of card imo

[woeful marten]

I have a 3070 ti from msi, I was just curious which was better.

[keen nacelle]

3070 ti is better for 1080p/1440p

[woeful marten]

Ah.

Thanks

[heady turtle]

It's fine yeah

[heady turtle]

3070 is slightly better than a 2080 ti and the 3070 ti is basically a 3070, mb like a 2% perf increase but just think of them as same card

[vital oriole]

^

[pallid coyote]

Factz

[steep basin]

Price to performance, which one would u guys say is the best atm, gtx 1660 ti, rtx 2060 or rtx 3060? Was thinking to get rtx 3070 but it kinda throws me over my budget

[keen nacelle]

Well depends what price we're talking about

Just get 1660s if you're gonna get a 1660 ti, theyre very similar and 1660ti costs more

[dreamy dragon]

Haru_Haru_Har_Har#4341 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[keen nacelle]

6600xt is pretty good value rn

[steep basin]

Is the price difference between them worth it tho? Like obviously 2060 is better than 1660, and 3060 is better than 2060, but is it worth paying 200-300$ more for the gain u get by chosing the better one

Main purpose being gaming and some not very heavy programs for electrical engineering

[keen nacelle]

Depends on what you do

Ah

I mean depends on what fps you want, what games you play, what settings you want

[dim turtle]

I spend 700 euros on a 3060 ti tuf (asus) (new), was it worth it?

[steep basin]

I dont play competitivly, but i would like decent performance on atleast high settings in the currently popular games

[keen nacelle]

I mean in the scope of the market ig but I wouldn't spend more than 700 usd on one

Like 625 euros I think

But tbf it is also worse in eu

[dim turtle]

True

Then you'd probably want the best card you can get in your budget. 2080, 2070s, lhr 3060 ti, 3060

[steep basin]

One more question, if i could manage to save up more or eventually somehow increase my budget, would the 3070 for around 400$ more be better than the 3060? Cuz the prices i came across for them are insane, and the 3060 is 200$ ish less than the 3060 ti, and the 3070 is also 200$ ish more than the 3060 ti, which one would u recommend considering those values

[keen nacelle]

Eh I wouldn't spend more than 850 on a lhr 3070

Check out r/hardwareswap if you have a reddit account

Just be careful of scams

[cerulean rover]

What exact prices though

[keen nacelle]

^^

[steep basin]

Im in a poor country of europe, so the prices are a bit insane, 3070 going for the equivalent of around 1.5k usd dolars, the 3060 is around 1, 1.1k

[keen nacelle]

Oh hell nah

[cerulean rover]

Gah

[keen nacelle]

Just get like a 1030 or smthn and wait it out, that's absolutely awful

[cerulean rover]

3070 for sure imo

If that's the only options

[keen nacelle]

Prices here even at the height if the shortage never were that high

Never went over 1.3k for a 3070

[steep basin]

Yeah its sad, the entire build costs me less or about the same as the gpu alone

Thanks for the replies tho, ill see if i can find a cheaper 3070 or just save up more i guess, cuz considering the current state i dont see the prices droping any time soon and i cant really wait for them to with my already almost 6 years old laptop

[keen nacelle]

I'd go for like a 16 series then

Or maybe evgas queue

[green harness]

If someone's entering the EVGA queue today for just about anything it's gonna be a while

[steep basin]

1660 550usd, 1660 ti 730usd

[green harness]

May as well enter but I wouldn't rely on it

[green harness]

OOF

[keen nacelle]

Those prices are awful but 1660 I guess...

[green harness]

That's a don't buy tbh

[keen nacelle]

1660 is 400here max so I guess ots not awful

[steep basin]

I guess i could get a used one for less but im kinda preffering to buy it new

[keen nacelle]

Wait you're talking about new?

Check the used market

[steep basin]

Yea im talking everything new

[keen nacelle]

New older cards are never smart to buy

Almost never anyways

[steep basin]

Yea but its easier to pay off with monthly pays for like 12 equal checks, instead of cashing out instantly

[keen nacelle]

Just humor me

[steep basin]

Gimme a min

Its about a 100 usd less rofl

[keen nacelle]

That's not bad

[steep basin]

Best i found is 1660 ti for 550

[keen nacelle]

Still not an amazing price but it's not thr worst

What about 1660?

[steep basin]

They are around 450

[keen nacelle]

And 1660 super is basically the same as 1660 ti but it costs less

450 is about par for a 1660 on ebay here

[steep basin]

Well currently i could go for up to 1k for a gpu, lemme see whats available

[keen nacelle]

Might be able to snag a 3060 ti

Maybe 2080s/ti

[steep basin]

Best price for 3060ti is 1.1k, 3070 1.2k

[keen nacelle]

Lhr or non lhr?

[steep basin]

Lhr

[keen nacelle]

Damn

Price to perofmnace I'd say that 1660 would be best, maybe 1660 ti

What about 2080 super?

2070super?

Maybe 6600xt

[steep basin]

2080super 950

[keen nacelle]

That's not awful, iirc they around 800-850 here but they could've gone down

[steep basin]

6600xt is around 850

[keen nacelle]

That's awful

600-650 here

Oh that's why

6600xt gets 32mh/s at 55w

That's insane efficiency

[steep basin]

I guess i could go with 2080 super

[heady turtle]

@steep basin what country you in?

[steep basin]

Serbia

[heady turtle]

Ohh

Prices might be just weird in your country

2080 super is still v nice

[steep basin]

Yeah, i looked up amazon and ebay also and the difference is quite noticable comparing to what i have found here

[heady turtle]

Keep in mind prices in the us don't include tax in the listed price too

[keen nacelle]

Oh true

Forgot bout that

[steep basin]

Oh thats something i didnt know

I would also have to pay shipping

[keen nacelle]

How much

[steep basin]

Nothing insane, im not sure but i believe its around 30ish usd

[keen nacelle]

Yeah with what you want I think that's your best bet

Unless you want to wait for a couple years

[steep basin]

Yeah well my laptop is already old and struggling, so waiting that much is not really an option

I guess im gonna go with that 2080 super

[keen nacelle]

What laptop?

[steep basin]

Acer e5 i believe, i3 4th gen, gt 940m

[keen nacelle]

Ah yeah

[steep basin]

This pc would be an enormous upgrade

[keen nacelle]

Lowkey been wanting a laptop with a gpu around that but I couldn't justify 250$ for the one I found with a 950m
