Idk about occt, I just do at least a full run of TimeSpy for every clock setting. If that hangs/crashes then we're definitely not stable. As for Vram. Mine is either 5500 or 11,000 MHz, for reference. Obviously I have gddr5x instead

quartz gull
#

vram is harder to detect if stable

#

because vram will auto correct errors with software

#

but that slows it down

#

nvm it's 8,000 with +1,000

#

so 16,000

ivory herald
#

this 3070 ti is weird

quartz gull
#

not weird

#

my 3070 is like that too

#

the power pins are off the main board

ivory herald
#

is weird, haha

quartz gull
#

It's because the 3070+ is so power intensive

#

that you need just empty space with heat pipes

#

to blow as much air through as possible to cool it

#

that's how much power these things pull

#

that space is so that it can just flood the heat pipes with as much air as possible

ivory herald
#

Ti is way more power than non Ti, and not likely gotta hit the Ti vram speeds

quartz gull
#

is it on g5x?

#

that's so fast

#

it is on g5x

ivory herald
#

no it's 6x. Funny being almost 10 GHz. That's the biggest difference. I'd big the non-Ti for sure.

quartz gull
#

oh I thought you meant 1080ti I was so confused on that speed

#

I'm getting close

#

1200 seems stable

#

so 8200/9500 rn

#

not too bad for the 3070

#

so jmy core clock dropped from 2130 to 2055 with this memory OC

#

the card literally doesn't have enough power budget to push it this high on both

#

should I stick to +200 core clock or +1000 memory

heady turtle
quartz gull
#

I thought he meant 1080ti I'm drunk and tired XD

#

anyways

heady turtle
#

Ahh yeah

quartz gull
#

my core clock is downclocking due to my memory overclock

#

12.5% extra power is not enough

#

I assume there's no way for me to raise it over 112.5%

#

so should I stick with +110/125 core +1000 memory or +205 core +400 memory

ivory herald
#

Only a bios change, but I don't recommend it. and that 2nd setting is probably better. Need to run TimeSpy at each setting to really see what sort of change it might be giving.

quartz gull
#

oh that's smarter

#

duh

#

drunk tulip can't think

#

obviously use benchmark to determine which

heady turtle
#

As long as connectors are same there will be no difference

#

Basically all cards have dual bios now too

ivory herald
#

Not as simple as a mobo bios update, but I haven't changed a Vbios in a while.

heady turtle
#

You do it in Windows soo

ivory herald
#

Last thing I used was NVFlash inside windows. Still something similar?

heady turtle
#

Exactly the same

quartz gull
#

so I kept tweaking and found the optimal settings for power usage

#

this pretty good for a 3070?

#

idk timespy scores very well

#

I found out I get 0 power throttling at 150 core 1000 memory

#

I think 150 core 1000 memory probably better than 200 core 400 memory

#

WTF

ivory herald
#

for ref my 1080 best at +120 core was 8410 gfx score. You're quite above the "average" for that cpu+gpu so that's good.

quartz gull
#

stock 3070ti score is 14800...

heady turtle
quartz gull
#

I have a +12.5% power limit

#

I only have an xc3

ivory herald
heady turtle
quartz gull
#

how tf

#

My thing literally refuses to do +50 core or +200 memory without raising it

quartz gull
#

it was hitting 94C under timespy load

#

I could probably hit 5.1/4.0 but I don't have to cooling potential

#

bequeit's lga 1700 bracket is so bad

#

dark rock 4 literally can't cool the cpu

ivory herald
#

Mighty close to thermal throttling that cpu

quartz gull
#

I'm stuck at 1.255 volts

#

yeah Ik

#

I literally can't go over 1.255 volts on it

#

I locked it to the turbo speed (4.9) and did a 100mhz + lock on the ecore (3.8)

#

dark rock 4 can cool a 9900k really well

#

but the bequiet 1700 bracket is too tall

#

tightening it down a lot to make contact literally made it so that I went from thermal throttling to 94C

#

someone told me the washer trick might work, I may try it

#

or I may just throw out my dark rock 4 and buy a liquid freezer ii 360mm

#

I'm a little scared though

#

my last AIO exploded after 3 days of use and Corsair only offered replace of the AIO even though whole build got fried

#

Their customer service is so bad

#

OH shoot

#

apparently even at 4k it went above the 144hz refresh rate

#

it warned me the score is lower than it should be

ivory herald
#

Do what it said and disable the max frame rate in the NV CP, then: (480FPS is actually the max RTSS lets me input) kekw

quartz gull
#

Alright let's see

#

I doubt score will go up much

heady turtle
#

@quartz gull make sure you have the performance settings on performance in the driver settings

quartz gull
#

Does that reset it I swap GPU?

#

I had that set with 2060

#

All my other settings kept so I think that one still active

#

I'll check after timespy is done

heady turtle
quartz gull
#

It was same driver version so I didn't see much point

#

If I'm already set to Max power limit will setting the power setting in NCP make it higher?

heady turtle
#

Ncp?

quartz gull
#

nvidia control panel

#

no change in score removing gsync LOL

#

I think I'm settling on +150/1000 as my final OC

#

maximum performance wasn't set, I'll try running it with that to see if it makes any difference

#

So stock timespy for my card is 13700, the xc3 version of 3070ti on stock is 14800. I'm really close to 3070ti

#

Makes me feel better about the vard

#

Core clock definitely pulling it's weight though

ivory herald
#

It's just more assurance gpu won't randomly go to a lower clock state for no reason

quartz gull
#

2080mhz off and on for timespy

#

Only reason it would is something more intensive than timespy

#

Furmark still removes my core OC entirely LOL

#

Furmark drops it to 1860

#

So below the OC EVGA has on it even

#

I think that's reference boost

#

Nah 1770 is boost

ivory herald
#

Furmark is mostly about max heat and/or wattage. It's an old program

quartz gull
#

Weird it maxes out at 1860 then

#

Does any card run at the stock 1770 boost?

#

That seems so low

#

FE doesn't, even cheaper XC3 doesn't

#

Maybe ventus 3x? We all know how those things run

#

OMG

#

Google the ventus 3x boost clock

#

For the 3070

#

It's below reference

#

It's 1725 OMG

ivory herald
#

Stock boost would probably be like if gpu was at 85C or something, or lowered Power Limit. My stock boost was 1850ish but I always see 1950+

quartz gull
#

The boost clock for the 3x ventus is no cap 1725

quartz gull
#

It's been that way for ages

#

@heady turtle within 1% for prefer maximum performance for power setting. I think raising power limits overrode that

ivory herald
#

Yeah but anything over around 70C or do & sometimes clock adjusts itself, unless temp limit is jacked up. Idk though, my gpu never goes above 70C Pepe_KEK. Instead of 120pL, I went to 116 pL & a tiny +60 oc for lower average voltage.

quartz gull
#

So it's weird

#

Changing max temp in afterburner affects that rate

#

So it's either X%(Max temp) or (Max temp) - X for clock reduction

ivory herald
#

Would be interesting to set the temp limit super low & see what the core does throughout a TimeSpy run.

quartz gull
#

Afterburner doesn't let me set it below 72 for my card

#

And that automatically drops the power limit to 80%

#

Which will affect the core way more

#

With no OC max load it's 75C at 70% fanspin

#

I could easily bump up fan speed but afterburner like "no, 80% take it or leave it"

quartz gull
#

Being 300 points off of a 3070ti makes me happier than it should tbh

lone pond
#

good gpus for 300-400 aud

heady turtle
#

6500xt sucks hard

#

Try get something like a rtx 3050 - should be releasing today in about 45 mins

#

Or a gtx 980 ti/1070 used

lone pond
#

i saw a ton of bad reviews but it doesnt look bad for price

heady turtle
charred raft
#

Cheapest I see is $309 for an RTX 3050

heady turtle
#

Especially if you don't have a pcie gen 4 system, then it's terrible

lone pond
#

the price is in aud so its around 200 in usd

#

how much is the 3050 gonna be?

green harness
#

Mostly 300+ usd

#

A few at 250 iirc

#

But only near launch

charred raft
#

I don't think I saw a single one at msrp thou

heady turtle
lone pond
#

depends if they ship to aus or not

heady turtle
#

There will be local, shipping from us will cost you and arm and a leg in shipping and import tax

lone pond
#

whee could i buy a 980ti?

#

or are they just 2nd hand

heady turtle
#

Used

charred raft
#

Used or second hand only

lone pond
#

do they still sell 1080tis?

heady turtle
#

Used only

keen nacelle
#

Going for the xc3 pato

#

Is xc3 2x8pin or 3?

#

Outta curiosity

#

Actually wait

#

I can go for both fe and xc3 using separate tabs, just have to do it in an odd way with mobile

#

I just realized this is gpu chat

#

Not general

#

Im smart

timid narwhal
#

XC3 what?

keen nacelle
#

3080

vital oriole
#

That 3080 XC3 has only 2 8-pin

Seriously it wanted a capital c to work ;-;

vital oriole
#

1070ti is uh

#

well around that i guess

fossil talon
#

Gg rip Canadian pricing

#

Nvm Newegg somehow has the cheaper deal

#

$329 CAD for the EVGA XC 3050

normal hawk
#

4 cards are 249 in the shuffle

fossil talon
#

Kinda cancer lol

normal hawk
#

Yea

#

At that point just buy a 3060, 6600xt or 3060 ti lol

fossil talon
#

Literally some of these prices cut into those cards

#

Especially the Strix lol

opal iron
#

It wont let me add a second gpu to compare

fossil talon
#

Fun fact the Strix 3050 legit costs almost the same as my 3060tis

opal iron
#

Strix was and will always be god awfully priced

fossil talon
#

Strix tax smh

normal hawk
#

I got an evga Ftw3 3060 ti for 529 lol

fossil talon
#

I have 3 3060ti EVGA XCs for around $620 CAD each

keen nacelle
fossil talon
#

Kinda funny lol when a 3050 costs more

fossil talon

#

Those are the 4 that cost 249$

keen nacelle
#

Zotac with a well priced model?

#

Can't be

fossil talon
#

Ikr I was surprised

opal iron
#

Im only going for the zotac one (jk)

fossil talon
#

But lol yes the Phoenix card

normal hawk
#

I think of those the ZOTAC one is the best actually tbf

opal iron
#

I really like the eagle design tbh

fossil talon
#

Potentially, the other cooling solutions look extremely cut down

normal hawk
#

The only one that might have better cooling is the Eagle.

opal iron
#

It looks very clean

fossil talon
#

Zotac seemed to slap on a 3060 shroud

opal iron
#

Eagle probably best one there

normal hawk
#

Depending on the thickness of the heatsink

fossil talon
#

Yep

opal iron
#

The phoenix kekw

keen nacelle
#

Still wish there was a pcie powered version of the 3050

fossil talon
#

sponsor by RT's power sucking abilities

opal iron
normal hawk
#

The 3050 ti doesn't have a lot of room to exist now in a good way. It'll be 12gbs and will be basically the same as the 2060 12gb lol

keen nacelle
#

It's 107w right?

opal iron
#

Lemme check

normal hawk
#

Thought it was 90w

keen nacelle
#

75w limit would be like a 15% perf loss, 30 series is power hungry

#

Uses much more power than it needs

opal iron
#

130w

keen nacelle
#

3080 on 90% pl loses 5% perf

opal iron
#

💀

normal hawk
#

Wtf

keen nacelle
opal iron
#

Yeah

normal hawk
#

Such a waste of wattage

keen nacelle
#

Maybe intel will make a 75w card

fossil talon
#

Probably

#

Arc cards have potential

keen nacelle
#

Seems like a very intel thing to do

opal iron
keen nacelle
#

They tend to cater to everyone

#

Well

#

To a certain extent anyways

#

If they catered to everyone 12100 would have 2 e cores

opal iron
#

There should defo be a pcie 6500xt

#

That would be doable

fossil talon
#

LMAO FACTS

keen nacelle
#

It's funny that it isnt

#

Because then they could atleast make a slight excuse for the terrible performance

fossil talon
#

Idk what's a better meme, 6500XT literally being a trash card or 3050 being one of the worse priced cards for a budget line

keen nacelle
#

6500xt should be 1030 msrp

opal iron
#

$250 for a 3050 isnt bad tho

keen nacelle
#

3050 should be 200$ msrp with the highest aib being 400

opal iron
#

Nah $400 pushing it

#

$350 max

keen nacelle
#

400 being the strix

#

Because strix tax

fossil talon
#

Yeah I'm talking about the more "expensive" 3050s

opal iron
#

Yeah but the strix isnt even worth it

fossil talon
#

Ikr

opal iron
#

Its just a blinged out version

fossil talon
#

Phoenix is 😎

opal iron
#

Its like the trident royal of gpus

fossil talon
#

Theres no reason why you need a triple fan cooler for a 3050

opal iron
#

I already know colorful is gonna make a quad fan 3050

fossil talon
#

Kinda curious to see ambient temps for it though

#

Or Palit lol

opal iron
#

They always add unnecessary fans

fossil talon
#

Quad fans but <90mm

opal iron
#

Passive 3050

#

💀

fossil talon
#

Imagine doing that

opal iron
#

It would have to have a chonk heatsink

keen nacelle
#

We should get an 8 fan 3050

fossil talon
#

Taking off a Eagle cooler then slapping on cheap AliExpress heatsinks and resell for 2-3x more as a "unique passive cool card"

keen nacelle
#

4 on top 4 on bottom

#

Idek if that works

#

But do it

fossil talon
#

That's going to be a noisy card lol

keen nacelle
#

I actually wonder how the cooling on a card like that would be

#

Maybe not 8

#

But say on a 3090, 3 intakes bottom 3 outtakes top

He’s probably so mad now that the 3050 is out

normal hawk

If i win shuffle I'll buy a 3050, just cause i can.

Ngl if I get a 3050, yk I'm going to overclock it to shreds

opal iron

#

You jest but I'd actually buy the 3050

#

Won't heat up my room more than the 5800x does

Wow not even ebay has 3050’s yet

As for a new 3070 laptop, I think that's about the normal price

What

#

When

#

How

keen nacelle
#

Ebay

normal hawk

for the 1329 price you have to look at the used price from amazon warehouse deals

keen nacelle

keen nacelle
#

Only reason I haven't

#

Is again, battery life

#

I need smthn that lasts the whole day of school

small crystal

One of these years, maybe I can actually afford a new card...

#

Oh

#

You mean gpu

small crystal
#

Yes

lone pond
#

Easy money

small crystal
#

No

keen nacelle
#

Sell a kidney

And your heart

#

You don't need that

#

Original Xbox One doesn't go for much these days, anyway.

keen nacelle
#

Hearts overrated tbh

small crystal
#

Well, I could do that. Not really using mine anyway.

lone pond
#

What gpu do you want

small crystal
#

I am looking at either a 1060 or a 2060. I don't need anything super fancy.

lone pond
#

Best budget card atm

small crystal
#

"Budget"

lone pond
#

Yes

#

Easy to get one in the shuffle

#

They are basically gonna have way more stock of them

small crystal
#

The what?

lone pond
#

Rtx 3050

#

250$

small crystal
#

Maybe I can do that. The problem for me right now is that everything is so old on my current machine, I basically need to get all new parts. So I also need to look at a new mobo, cpu, and ram. Might as well toss in a new case and water cooling for the cpu while I am at it.

lone pond
#

What are the specs

small crystal
#

Exactly. I am probably going to get the case pretty soon, at least. then maybe the water cooler. The rest will have to be bought in a short time frame, probably.

lone pond
keen nacelle
#

What cpu are you getting that you need an aio?

#

Guessing by what you've said, your budget is probably pretty tight

#

So why not get a 12400f and hyper 212 instead?

small crystal
#

Just a moment.

#

CPU: AMD FX-8320
GPU: GTX 660
RAM: 16GB

keen nacelle
#

I forget when amd started ddr4, does that use ddr4 or 3?

small crystal
#

It has been a long time since I put this together. Got it built just before GPU prices skyrocketed.

keen nacelle
#

What's your budget for a new build?

small crystal
#

Not sure, honestly. I am not looking to build anything too soon. Trying to save up to move. I would prefer to spread out the purchases if possible. So probably start with a decent case and go from there. Going to keep as much of my current stuff as possible, but that is probably only the HDDs, Blu Ray, and a couple of the expansion cards.

#

The cpu is ddr3, btw

keen nacelle
#

Well the issue with buying spread out is if something is broken you won't know till its too late to have them send s new one

#

Chances aren't super high but it's still a possibility

#

What you could do is buy parts thst you can use in your current system/can't be broken

#

Heatsink, case, gpu can work with your system just won't be utilized well

small crystal
#

I know, but that is why I want to at least get the case and probably the water cooler first, since those would be the more obviously faulty parts.

keen nacelle
#

Power supply

small crystal
#

I have a good psu

keen nacelle
#

Could also look into used

#

10400f/b560 used is an option too

#

Could also get a smaller ssd for boot

#

And use your hdd otherwise

small crystal
#

I have a 256 SSD for booting already, and my psu is a Corsair AX850

keen nacelle
#

Alr, one sec

#

Took out the ssd and psu

#

The amount of budget gamers buying 6500XT GPUs on low end systems scares me

#

"Oh there's a $280 GPU in stock on Newegg, perfect for my 4 year old build that happens to have PCIE 3.0"

ruby tendon
#

6500 xt is a pcie 4.0 only anything being used 3.0 or back is silly

#

Any other point myte as well get a 6600

#

I keep forgetting about the parts picker site. Let me put together something I am looking at, see what it comes to total. I will post here once I finish it up.

#

Case looks a tad oven like too

small crystal
#

This is a rough build for what I am kind of looking at.

normal hawk
#

since you have to buy a new mobo, i'd go 12th gen intel

small crystal
#

I am partial to AMD

normal hawk
#

don't let brand loyalty blind you.

small crystal
#

Just never been a fan of Intel, honestly.

keen nacelle
#

12600k beats 5800x and it costs 300$

#

12400f beats 5600x and it costs 180$

#

I'd suggest either waiting for next gen ryzen or going for intel

#

Because it's just a waste of money atm

fossil talon
#

Yeah and also if going 12th gen Intel, stick to ddr4

keen nacelle
#

Asus makes meh boards

#

Ram, 3200c16 is better

fossil talon
#

Asus still has issues on Z690

keen nacelle
#

And that aio isn't good for the price, liquid freezer ii 280 is better and around the same price

#

Are there any reasons that you prefer amd?

small crystal
#

I can wait on the next gen Ryzen, I am not planning on buying this tomorrow or anything.

#

I have been building with AMD for a couple decades now, and never had any issues with them. They just seem to run better than Intel in my experience.

keen nacelle
#

If you do end up building it sooner you could probably find a used 5800x around 320$

#

My dad has the opposite opinion of amd

#

First pc he made was mostly amd and it crapped out on him shortly after building

#

Point is, performance is performance

#

One nor the other is better

heady turtle
keen nacelle
#

It's sad how common it is here, we need a pin or smthn

#

Copy pasta maybe

small crystal

Fair enough. Honestly, that build I posted was just thrown together out of parts and companies I like and know about. I really haven't done any real comparisons or anything on recent parts. If the case is good, I can at least start with that, and then start comparing things ro find the best parts that work together and will work with that case.

I was weary of going amd for my first pc about a year ago

So I understand what it's like

Now I'm awaiting amds laptop cpus to buy a laptop lmao

So let's focus on something that seems good to me. Is the case a good one, in your opinion? Or should I take that to the cases-and-psu channel?

My current case is the Antec Five Hundred, so probably time for an upgrade on that.

Or maybe it is the Nine Hundred? I am confused right now. Looking at pictures, it looks like the Nine Hundred.

Any thoughts on my current build?

#

I know it is old (no need to tell me that), but thoughts and ideas on where to go next?

charred raft
#

Gtx 660

keen nacelle
#

Prolly cpu/mobo/ram upgrade first

charred raft
#

Is a little old now, but fine if you're playing 2014 or older games tbh

keen nacelle
#

Preferably with a case so you don't have to build twice

small crystal
#

Right, that is why I was going to probably get a case first, then look at getting the cpu/mobo/ram.

keen nacelle
#

Well with those four parts your pc can already be up and running, since you can use your 660 till you get a better gpu

#

And your psu/storage is being used anyways

#

The 660 beats a 1030 anyways, I wouldn't even pair a 1030 with that cpu tbh

#

Equivelant of a 4th gen i3

charred raft
#

Is the gpu better than the current igpus?

keen nacelle
#

Yes

#

1030 beats most igpus other than 5000 series apus

#

660 is about 50% better than 1030

charred raft
#

Nice!

keen nacelle
#

Which I'm confused how that fits in considering 970=1050 ti

charred raft
#

Gtx 660 is pretty relevant tbh

#

In current gpu shortage

keen nacelle
#

Yeah

#

Good enough to hold over till you can get a better gpu

charred raft
#

I have 2x backup gtx 550 ti

#

I'm assuming those are not relevant anymore?

#

I ran an SLI setup for a while

#

Nvidia should make a 3030 for the memes

#

Or create a GT 1010

sullen panther
#

Why not a 1010, 2020, and a 3030?

charred raft
#

Since they restarted production of the 1050 Ti and 2060 they should yea

charred raft
sullen panther
#

Perfect

#

oh you were including tax. that price ain't bad

#

it had your tax bracket, didn't see anything else

#

6% sales tax is pretty nice

#

I always cringe when I see places with 10-15% sales tax. its crazy. I thought the 7.25% was bad. and then I saw what people in washington paid lol

#

and then on top of that. Grocery items and clothes aren't taxed here in MN. so I barely pay that 7.25% 😂 since I don't buy anything but food, clothes and tech.

So much congestion still

Metro in the Twin Cities is pretty good too. but they need to invest more into it.

lone pond
#

The reason America can’t have a good transit system is because of government regulations

normal hawk
#

Light Rail and Buses.

fossil talon
#

Yep

normal hawk
#

Its because americans are so damn individualistic and think everyone should have a car

lone pond
# normal hawk False

I study transportation and my mom works for the company that works on almost every public transportation project in the country

You definitely need a car

Theres no regulation that is preventing them from investing more into buses in the cities. they choose not to

Was a 1660 super a good upgrade from a rx 580?

It's just a small upgrade

No

I mean, 3050 does have 8gb of vram, however choked it is

charred raft

The rtx 3050 has the same amount of vram as the rtx 3070 kekw

heady turtle
#

Not worth upgrading i agree but 3050 is probably like 15% better

#

Nah without the features 3050 is 1660 super/ti

charred raft

not worth the upgrade still imo due to price

I mean if they sell the 580 they can probably get all of it right now if they act quickly

Doing a 1:1 trade would work too if local

ok so i got a gtx 770 founders edition about 4-5 months ago on ebay. Card seems ok despite its age. fast forward to about 1 1/2 weeks ago, now in windows some slight graphics glitches occur and games will crash with or without an error and if it does have an error its always something to do with device hung and/or device removed and in macOS randomly the screen just starts spazzing and constant graphics glitches everywhere for a couple minutes until it settles down for a while

^im assuming this is because the card is on its last legs but just wanted to get a confirmation

Sounds like it. Once it does die you can try the oven trick to reflow the solder, might get a bit more life out of it.

mostly a stop gap purchase to wait out the price surge but might have to start looking into buying again

1080 is a lot better

50/50 for me

I am content that it takes a 3060 to beat this. People expect too much out of a xx50 card. I'm not expecting to buy a BNIB gpu in 2022, maybe a 20 series when those aren't also so much above orig msrp.

I got a 3060Ti in my new prebuilt so I could sell my old parts

#

Since ya know, 3060Ti can beat a good majority of cards

3060 ti is a good card 👍

summer hemlock
#

Agreed

No personal bias at all
