6900xt best gpu in this generation

#

price to perf

summer hemlock
#

I know you are

#

I was trying to see where you'd take it lmao

keen nacelle
#

Gt 710 best gaming gpu

fossil talon
#

yall A100

keen nacelle
#

Nah, a100 second best

magic wing
#

6900xt is weggChefKiss

keen nacelle
#

I know someone who rented some a100s for mining when he got 2x earnings

#

Don't feel like explaining

#

He profited about 300$ in a day

#

Lol

ivory herald
#

imo 3080 (Ti ) best (Nvidia) card. 3090 is barely an improvement. A lot different than the 90 tier stuff in the past, which also was dual gpu card sometimes actually

keen nacelle
#

6900xt similar price and better perf

ivory herald
#

noticed I aded (nvidia)

fossil talon
#

We know whats the best. What do you think is the worse card of this generation?

keen nacelle
#

Ahh

summer hemlock
#

3080Ti is best for common usage, 3090 is primarily meant for workstations

keen nacelle
#

Worst card of 30 series is either 3080 12gb or 3070 ti

#

Useless addons

fossil talon
#

6500XT for AMD and yeah I agree 3080 12gb for Nvidia

summer hemlock
#

Agreed

magic wing
keen nacelle
#

I'm going by prices on newegg for 6900xt oc formula

magic wing
magic wing
keen nacelle
#

And market prices for 3080 ti, since they're the most common places to get each

magic wing
#

lmao

keen nacelle
#

I didn't say otherwise

fossil talon
#

cant imagine the 7900XT

magic wing
#

I really really want that card

fossil talon
#

7900XT vs. 4090 lol

keen nacelle
#

I want to see 6900xt oc formula fully oced vs sips 3090

#

Since he got a god bin

fossil talon
#

Sips 3090 is completely wack

#

OCs better than Kingpin

keen nacelle
#

My 60 ti on water could probably beat a lot of 6800s/3070s

#

Lottery likes me

magic wing
keen nacelle
#

Sips however

fossil talon
keen nacelle
#

I thought he had a kingpin?

fossil talon
#

He has a Vision 3090 i think

magic wing
#

remember that asus doesnt have a top of the line binned oc card

#

so the binned chips they get go into any gpu

fossil talon
#

just the better air coolers

magic wing
#

meanwhile with something like a kingpin ur guaranteed a very very good bin

fossil talon
#

true

magic wing
#

its like cheating the lottery

fossil talon
#

What model was sips card again?

#

Oh wait 3090 Strix

#

mb

#

I keep remembering his old card

keen nacelle
#

He also has his god bin 3070

magic wing
#

laptop

keen nacelle
#

And desktop

magic wing
#

laptop is also cheating

keen nacelle
#

His desktop can do +210 on core consistently

magic wing
#

since really good binned silicon goes towards them

keen nacelle
#

My 3060 ti gets through a timespy bench with +210 once every like 3-5 tries

#

With +1090 on mem

keen nacelle
#

Idk what his gaming oc was on it

#

But he got within 100 pts of my stock 3060 ti bench, which is actually +100 mem since it's factory oc

#

So about desktop 3060 ti performance on it fully oced

fossil talon
keen nacelle
#

His laptop 3070 gets 67mh/s iirc

#

At 114w?

magic wing
#

TBH i have a REALLY good bin rx570

keen nacelle
#

Smthn like that

keen nacelle
fossil talon
keen nacelle
#

Timespy shows scores so weirdly

fossil talon
#

my 3070 does well at 63.25mh/s at 118W

keen nacelle
#

I was number 26 with just under 13k pts, I run again and get 13226 and it moves me down to below 100

#

I dont get it

magic wing
#

i can do +1440 on mem

keen nacelle
fossil talon
keen nacelle
#

With amd ocing??

magic wing
#

wait no

#

im dumb

fossil talon
#

lmao

keen nacelle
#

I was bouta say

#

I dont think thats possible even on 6900xt

magic wing
#

i can do +550 on mem

keen nacelle
#

Since theirs isn't offsets

fossil talon
keen nacelle
#

It's actual values or smthn

#

Sips explained it to me once

magic wing
#

from 1750 to 2290

keen nacelle
#

What about core?

magic wing
#

i actually have to bios mod since vbios doesnt even allow you to go that high

keen nacelle
#

Oh also

#

My crucial ram gets here within a few days

magic wing
keen nacelle
#

3200c16 planning to oc to 3600c16

#

Wow

#

Oh wait

magic wing
#

cl5 moment

keen nacelle
#

I also need new ram for the laptop

#

Or atleast another 8gb 2933 stick

#

Since 8gb 🤮

magic wing
#

also core stock is 1244

#

i can stable 1490

keen nacelle
#

Might wait a while tho, my parents ain't gonna be happy i spent 730$ on a laptop

#

Money's all from mining tho so 🤷‍♂️

magic wing
#

i actually run into power draw limit lol

keen nacelle
#

Dayum

#

What are the Temps like?

#

Also what's it about equivelant to with its oc?

fossil talon
#

I gotta actually OC my ram again, recently did a bios reset smh. Gotta head back from 3600mhz CL16 to 3800 or 4000mhz Cl15

keen nacelle
#

I've never ram oced before

#

Gonna be a pain figuring out how

#

Luckily it's crucial so it should be too hard to get 3600c16

fossil talon
#

it will

magic wing
#

ddr5 is quad pumped so effective freq my card can do is 9160

fossil talon
#

AMD FLCK annoying

keen nacelle
#

Yeah

#

That's its limit on ram speeds right?

#

Well

#

What causes the limit

fossil talon
#

latency btn cpu and ram iirc

magic wing
#

power budget things

keen nacelle
#

Solder another 8 pin on

#

Ez

fossil talon
#

Why one when you can add two more 8 pins

#

triple 8 pin

magic wing
keen nacelle
#

Nice

magic wing
#

i run open air fans at 100% when oc tho

#

my gam9ing temps are actually higher

#

lmao

keen nacelle
#

Outta curiosity, does a good bin make a gpu worth more on the market?

keen nacelle
magic wing
#

to overclockers? yes

#

to general consumer? nah

fossil talon
#

^^^

keen nacelle
#

I think my Temps stayed under 60c when I ran it, I also had a room fan pointed directly at the gpu lmao

magic wing
keen nacelle
#

Rawr do you happen to know what ram dell laptops use?

fossil talon
keen nacelle
#

Too good of a deal to pass up

magic wing
#

this is my ballistix kit

magic wing
fossil talon
keen nacelle
#

Sending my 3600c18 kit to my SO since she has a 3400g on 2333 ram

keen nacelle
magic wing
#

should do 3600c14

keen nacelle
#

Gonna first get it to 3600c16

#

I dont want to lose my sanity to ram tuning

fossil talon
#

oh you will

#

if you do it properly

keen nacelle
#

Shhh

#

Let me have some hope

magic wing
#

gdm off?

fossil talon
#

I did it before

keen nacelle
#

I might just ask for patos settings, if that's how tuning works

fossil talon
#

somehow

magic wing
#

makes sense

keen nacelle
#

I've literally never even looked at ram tuning before

magic wing
keen nacelle
#

I told myself I'd never do it

#

Yet here we are

fossil talon
magic wing
#

or dm me

fossil talon
#

although this OC was back in December so I have no idea if I can do it again

magic wing
#

we help

keen nacelle
#

Pato has the same kit

magic wing
#

pato has a 16gb kit

fossil talon
#

Winter break let me test some boundaries

keen nacelle
#

Ahh

magic wing
#

16x2 overclocks differently

fossil talon
#

^^

magic wing
#

you can get a different die on that kit too

keen nacelle
#

Didn't know that, thought it was just more sticks oced differently

fossil talon
#

rank and die

magic wing
#

its either rev e or rev b

velvet grail
#

Since I overclocked my graphics card and the "coil whine" is still audible I'm thinking that it is not coil whine
+200 MHz (almost) and nothing changed

#

What could it be?

ivory herald
#

well 4 sticks would be tougher to OC than 2 of the same sticks, afaik, yes.

keen nacelle
magic wing
#

16gb ballistix kit is guaranteed rev e

keen nacelle
#

It could also be psu tho

velvet grail
magic wing
#

Case, psu and cpu all change coil whine sound

fossil talon
#

Watch me try to get 64gb ballistix

ivory herald
#

(worse) coil whine can also be caused by super high FPS

velvet grail
keen nacelle
#

Aight I'm out

magic wing
#

thats beause of how sound works

keen nacelle
#

I've got 2 hours till I have to be up and I have school today

magic wing
#

im just saying if you want to get rid of coil whine change the entire pc

#

or live with it

#

theres really not much you can do

velvet grail
ivory herald
#

In the past coil whine was specifically on certain GPUs and/or caused by certain psus. People would rma their gpu to get a new one w/ no coil whine, dummies lol

velvet grail

?

#

I've trued tearing my GPU apart but I can't remove the screws...

#

I'm scared of breaking it... da_heck

ivory herald
#

If less than 4-5 years old, I personally wouldn't re-paste unless temps were much higher than comfortable. I've never repasted a GPU, but I might do that to my spare 660 for practice/experimenting

velvet grail
misty rain
#

I was just wondering should I upgrade from 1650 super to 1080 or something different just future plans

ivory herald
#

Future plans = price on all GPUS changes too. Currently you can get a 1080 for $400-450, or less depending on location. I'd probably suggest aiming for at least a 2060, but often they're a fair bit more money than a 1080. no big issue, but 10 series is from 2017-ish. As for how much of an upgrade:

summer hemlock
# misty rain I was just wondering should I upgrade from 1650 super to 1080 or something diffe...

Like Chillin said, I'd say aim higher. Thanks to current events everything is rising in prices, it's pretty unpredictable as to when things will stabilize again. They started to but again, it's fluctuating. So aim a bit higher, especially if it's just for hobbies such as gaming, and if you really need it. If you can run everything just fine as of now, I'd just refrain from upgrading for no necessary reason.

#

Also I don't know as much as everyone else, so don't take my advice blindly

Maybe they added too many zeros…

This gotta be a troll

summer hemlock
#

Nah man

#

Value of 3050s got increased majorly

vital oriole
#

5 grand is still not normal for 3050

#

no one buys that lol

#

but 3090 would sounds more reasonable, like a super rare edition

@ivory herald I think that you and I are the only ones here with a sense of humor

Probably a few others scattered around. sense of humor can vary by day/hour also. hellmo

#

No jokes! Just GPUs!

ivory herald
#

GPU market is serious beeznass

summer hemlock
#

GPUs are jokes

#

Primarily their prices

#

Just think

summer hemlock
#

If the whole Ukraine thing blows up, odds are a 1080Ti would be $1,000 USD

#

Because of the Asian groups of conflict and the naval trade disruption that would then be caused by a war

#

Big if

ivory herald
#

not bad ebay prices right now tbh, that's just ending soonest stuff. Also imagine how beastly that would be if it started w/ clocks closer to my 1080.

velvet grail
#

Nice prices

#

In Italy min. 600€ for an used 1080ti

ivory herald
#

Don't ask me why that zotac mini is so cheap. steveconfused

timid narwhal

#

I'm selling it for 350€

ivory herald

You can try.

velvet grail

I saw many people selling 1060 6gb for 390-400€

Okay? Just disproving your €600 min pricing

ivory herald
#

Pato w/ the ultra google/ebay-fu once agian. btw Lo, listed doesn't = "sold". People can list their crap for w/e they want, doesn't mean it's the going rate.

velvet grail
#

It's just horrible

#

And some people still buy them

ivory herald
#

Hmm, this is slight sus unless ya think this person actually did these in SLI or something? Perfect feedback w/ 800+ transactions, so probably legit.

ivory herald

"buying from wish" steveconfused

quartz gull
#

Wish.com is the most retuable e-commerce platform there is chillin, why you react like that

#

They never host any scams ever

Don't tou love when dell cancels your order and the sale you bought ended

I know it isn't the card

#

Apparently it's still on sale, just in a difference place

heady turtle

Weird

keen nacelle

True

keen nacelle

It says it'd try the original payment again in a day

#

Anybody scoop a 3050?

normal hawk
#

I did

#

Exciting and depressing news. The release of the 3050 and 3080 12gb increased the price of various cards. Who'd have thought? I totally didn't say that them releasing the 3070 ti and 3080 ti did the same thing.

lone pond
#

i was thinking of buying a 3050 for $430 but its sold out

#

other 3050 in stock cost like 700-800

Where are you?

I need some help setting my GPU form Nvidia control panel

#

Can I set Nvidia control panel to English?

#
  • shoul i run heaven benchmark while setting nvidia control panel? just to see if anything changes
vital oriole
#

You can just download english version of the driver

#

Also no, trying with games is okay really

velvet grail
#

ok... can you tell me which are the best settings?

#

if you know...

vital oriole
#

There's no such thing as "best"

#

You can just adjust the settings in-game for most things

velvet grail
#

so you mean that i shouldnt care about nvidia settings but just changing settings in each game??

charred raft
#

There are actually rtx 3050's that went for msrp, I am mildly surprised

#

All sold out, but still

velvet grail
#

Okk

#

Maybe only the power management

#

Just to see if it is set to max.

turbid stream
#

what is the best cpu for rx 6900 xt

keen nacelle
#

What's your budget

turbid stream
#

infinity

lone pond
#

get the bes tone then

keen nacelle
#

There's always a budget

turbid stream
#

i have a printer

keen nacelle
#

Otherwise you'd just get a 12900k and be done with it

#

Gl with that

turbid stream
#

i mean

#

if u say it like that

#

cheap is always an option

keen nacelle
#

If you dont care how much you spend

#

Just get a 12900k + whatever ddr4 motherboard you want +64gb 4400mhz ddr4 ram

lone pond
#

surprisingly there's a 3050 for 240 at scorptec sold out though 😛

keen nacelle
#

But that will run you about 1.3k+

#

Minimum

turbid stream
#

after gpu i might say 1.5k$

keen nacelle
#

Perfect

turbid stream
#

after i bought the gpu

keen nacelle
#

Is 1.5k for the rest of the build?

turbid stream
#

yes

keen nacelle
#

The entire thing?

#

normal hawk
#

no they don't

#

then MC must add a lot more to the price

#

Cause microcenter prices them higher than on newegg.

quartz gull
#

Which microcenter?

normal hawk
#

could be a contractual thing tbh.

quartz gull
#

I noticed my microcenter consistently have prices lower than other microcenters

#

I think that also varies by store for MC

#

The Denver microcenter seems kinda competitive with pricing a lot of the time

#

Same

#

Best buy and MC always have lower than wegg

#

For like CPU GPU prices but for some things like SSDs it's mixed

#

Idk I don't usually buy AMD

normal hawk
#

and they don't have sales as often as newegg on amd cards I think

quartz gull
#

I like Nvidia's higher end and AMD doesn't make any decent 75 watt cards lol

#

That's my 2 market

#

High-mid range and 75 watt GPU

#

Intel better release their 75 GPUs already

#

And they better be at least x8 and 6GB battle

fossil talon
#

Intel chan help the GPU market

quartz gull
#

Imagine a decent 75 watt GPU that hungry gamers can slap into their 2014 optiplexes

#

🤤

normal hawk
#

Never thought intel would be the hope for low power usage

quartz gull
#

Inte stated that 75 watt cards are important to the market

normal hawk
#

but I think the 6500XT using as much wattage as it does shows the faults of the RDNA2 tbh.

#

same with the 3050 for ampere

#

3050 isn't too bad.

quartz gull
#

It actually gave me hope. They're not going for straight compute power, they're going for cards that the people want

#

3050 wouldn't be bad but should be $180 in normal market

fossil talon
#

Low end AMD and Nvidia are jokes lol

quartz gull
#

6500xt should be $140 or less lol

fossil talon
#

3050 is ok but the pricing smh

#

And it's still worse than the 2060

#

Should of been the 2050

normal hawk
#

DM for an unrelated note

#

jk

quartz gull
#

Imagine if Intel's 75W GPU is around $150

fossil talon

quartz gull
#

Yo rommy is it a 6 pin variant of the 1650?

fossil talon
#

3080ti to me bulbuwu

quartz gull
#

That's gross

fossil talon
quartz gull
#

Who TF buys 6 pin versions of 75 watt cards

#

That's where I get out the trusty fire starter, the molex to 6 pin

normal hawk
quartz gull
#

I guess it's the position they priced it at

#

50 series should be $150

#

Maybe with rtx tax $180 or so

#

Nvidia just going "L you'll buy it anyways"

normal hawk
#

The 50 series haven't surpassed the 60 series of the previous generation ever, why would they start now?

fossil talon
#

My point is 3050 is a hard card to recommend for people from the 10 series

quartz gull
#

AMD tried it too but AMD's are actually not selling out kekw

normal hawk
#

Its a Niche card and you're looking at it for your own use case

quartz gull
#

Well usually the 50 series niche is slapping it into cheap builds

#

But at 130 watts there's no hope

#

1650 super? I'd trust that with a sata to 6 pin

#

3050? Fire starter

normal hawk
#

a 500W PSU isn't expensive.

#

you're aiming too low with it.

quartz gull
#

Most people looking at 50 series often have proprietary prebuilts

#

That can't update PSU

#

I haven't seen many people put a 50 series into a brand new rig

#

It's usually people with existing rigs

#

I think 1650 was the last 75 watt GPU from Nvidia. It's kind of a shame.

#

Intel San please save us 🙏

normal hawk
#

Look at people with 900 or 700 series. who are mostly fine now, but might want to upgrade but don't want to get something to expensive. the 3050 will be fine.

quartz gull
#

Also how TF is the 6500xt 103 watts

#

It's a heccin laptop GPU

#

With 0 features

normal hawk
#

Because RDNA2 is not as efficient as people thought

quartz gull
#

Either that or the card was so bad that to get those clocks they had to feed that thing double power

#

2.8ghz absurd

normal hawk
#

yes

quartz gull
#

Because imagine the performance at the standard 2 ghz

#

Maybe they'll make a 6500 that's even more cut down at 75 watts

normal hawk
#

No point

#

except money of course

quartz gull
#

They'll remove another display out and down clock it

#

Say "we had to do it to hit $190"

#

Pcie x2

#

12th gen very similar in price rn

#

Just pricier boards

#

Much better upgrade path though

normal hawk
#

Its a console build.

might even put Steam OS on it 😂

quartz gull
#

12th gen i5 looking kinda hot

#

OMG

fossil talon
#

Intel actually popping hard

normal hawk
#

With an RTX 3050 though? 😛 Serious GPU bottleneck

quartz gull
#

I got a spare 7400 optiplex I should slap a 1050ti/1650 in there and instead of sell it see what steam OS can do

#

12700 non k looking VERY hot

#

And not literally either!

#

It's not that hard to cool

normal hawk
#

I was thinking 12th gen I3 but the price isn't much different and since I'm still paying for an ITX board tax, might as well go I5 10th/11th gen

quartz gull

12th gen ITX boards are expensive

quartz gull
#

ITX boards have been getting more pricey as of late

normal hawk
#

Thats why I went 11th Gen I5.

quartz gull
#

Just in general

I wanted a Vision Z690i board to come out, but that's totally not going to cost a hand

#

MSI has been popping with their pro line recently

#

Quality definitely gone up over the years

#

I do too

#

I have a z370 a pro too and the quality difference in everything is outstanding

#

I bought the launch version before they did the z390 and 9900k nonsense

#

9900k was such a weird launch looking back on it

normal hawk
#

Woah

#

An all white ITX board?

#

What universe are we in

#

You woulda missed out on a bit

quartz gull
#

Having 8th gen out and then going "yeah we're releasing 1 9th gen CPU, its a new class of cpu the i9, and releasing a new chipset the z390"

#

It was really weird

normal hawk
#

Ye I can't find a well priced ITX board for 12th gen currently. so I'll keep the plan of 11th gen I5. would rather not spend more on a Motherboard than a CPU again lol

quartz gull
#

I think the issue is

#

ITX board needs the vrms for a stock 12900

#

Which is going to be spoopy

#

I gave up and bought a scalper 3070

#

I did 11 in person microcenter drops

#

And 5 best buy ones

#

And 45 shuffle entries before going

#

"Aight it's impossible"

#

Oh best buy does in person drops most Friday mornings

livid idol
#

Only 45? It took more than that for me to get a 3090 no one wanted lol

quartz gull
#

You'll need to camp out as of around 9pm Thursday night though

#

They're doing in person again? I thought they stopped that

Friend of mine actually just got a 3060 2 weeks ago

normal hawk
#

and by there, I mean the ST Louis Park Microcenter in Minnesota lol

quartz gull
#

Also straight up asking your best buy customer service counter if they have any return GPUs you can purchase works sometimes

normal hawk
quartz gull
#

I did that for a 1650, they were nice about it too

livid idol
#

There's a trick with the app for that too. You can kinda see what they have, then you can get the sku before you go in and ask for a supervisor to look it up.

quartz gull
#

Ah makes sense

#

My best buy has a returns room

#

They just go look for a second

livid idol
#

It works best if you do it by sku because if you say gpu their reflex is to say sold out

quartz gull
#

Usually the returns are 3090 territory

#

Both times I've asked it was a 3090 and I ain't affording that

#

Anyone still rocking the outdated 3090?

#

Should sell it to me on discount and get the much superior totally not a scam 3090ti

#

6500xt Eevee_cry

#

What CPU are you rocking?

#

OUCH

#

#

Hope you don't feel sick from the frame times

I could never handle frame times that bad

heady turtle
#

@little scroll return it it's gonna run like Garbage and get a gtx 970

quartz gull
#

Yeah

#

Or even a 960

heady turtle
#

Yup

quartz gull
#

960's are $100 here locally in Denver

#

Hot damn where you live

#

Is the market that bad over there?

livid citrus
#

there's no stores here for much tech in WA

quartz gull
#

Also no one wants my 2060 at $420, everyone selling theirs $400 or under locally here

livid citrus
#

^ same

quartz gull
#

$300 for a 2060 I'd rather put my pinky in the automatic pencil sharpener

#

Also the fact Nvidia advertised 4K for 3070 on launch is a scam

#

This thing has like 0 vram

#

Those are about $500 here

#

Sometimes $450

livid idol
#

Well sure, you can do 4k on it
4k60 on low

quartz gull
#

Why no one wants a 2060 for $420 lol

#

On medium I push like 100+ fps most games

#

But high? Nuh vram limitation get rekt

#

2060 super decent card

#

6500xt shouldn't even be a tide you over card

#

It's just a card for masochists that want to push themselves to the limits

heady turtle
#

eBay, r/hardwareswap, Facebook marketplace will have plenty

#

Except its not because in you're use case youre running at at pcie gen 3x4 when it's supposed to be pcie 4x4 which is equivalent to pcie 3x8

#

Sell it now for a gtx 970/980 or something you'd be doing yourself a favour

#

Not really when you're running it at half the performance and it's pretty mediocre anyway, literally worse than a gtx 960 and you can get gtx 970s easy for 200$ but sure you do you

#

Ebay, Facebook marketplace and r/hardwareswap are US wide

#

Nope, 960 beats/is equal can't remember exactly the 6500xt

#

That's not how it works

#

The memory is also extremely limited by the 64 bit bus

#

Lol your loss

#

It's still in stock

#

Not even scalpers are buying it

Idk where you going to flip it

Then look at eBay

Cheaper than local in your area

unless you get a confirmed dead one that cant be fixed

Common issue is a blown fuse, which you can solder a new one in. That's hard to diagnose without looking at a high res pcb photo, though.

That's often disguised as a short circuited board that won't post

Check with the AIB to see if they are a distributor. If not then don't do it.

yeah nothing shows up, definitely sussy

should i get rx6600 vs 3050?

idle idol
hasty monolith
#

will rx6600 work with a motherboard that is like 8 years old @idle idol im new to pc gaming

#

it has pci 3.0x16 slot

livid idol
#

Yes, that's fine

#

Now if it was a 6500XT there would be a problem...

hasty monolith
#

@livid idol why 6500xt is a problem?

livid idol
#

The 6500XT only has a x4 pci link so if it's further limited by gen 3 speeds it means lost performance

hasty monolith
#

but dont 6600 have the same issue?

livid idol
#

Nope, they're x16

hasty monolith
#

i have a rx 560 2gb i need an upgrade by june/may if i could get 3050 or 6600 whatever is cheaper

#

now i have to check my power supply

#

is 550/650 power supply good for 6600/3050?

livid idol
#

That'll be plenty

hasty monolith
#

6600/3050 are those geared for 1080/1440 or 4k gaming?

#

i have a 4k144 monitor for my series x

livid idol
#

1080p

hasty monolith
#

1080 at what high or ultra?

livid idol
#

Depends on the game

#

There should be benchmarks for the games you play

hasty monolith
#

is game-debate a good site?

livid idol
#

It's half decent for a rough guess

hasty monolith
#

what site u recommend?

livid idol
#

I usually go by reviews on YouTube, Linus Tech Tips, gamers Nexus, jayztwocents, etc

#

They test some of the more common games and standardize the testing between models for a decent comparison

hasty monolith
#

thanks

#

so 6600 will run at a lower speed on a pci 3.0 right?

livid idol
#

Not noticeably

hasty monolith
#

will it matter what brand of 6600 i get?

livid idol
#

There's no way a 6600 will use all of the available bandwidth on a x16 link, so it's a non-issue

#

Brand doesn't matter so much

hasty monolith
#

is 3050 run on pci 3.0 as well?

livid idol
#

I'm running my 3080 ti on gen 3 x16

#

It doesn't make a real world difference

hasty monolith
#

nice though my cpu is old 3.4ghz i5

livid idol
#

The pci spec is fully backwards and forwards compatible, in theory you can run a modern gpu on a pcie 1.1 slot

#

Miners do it all the time for that matter

hasty monolith
#

all my games that i want to play are mostly single player games anyways

#

i just wait a bit and see if i can snag a 3050 from the shuffle

#

both are better than my 560 2gb card

#

i just need something that can go either 1080 high or 1440p low to medium

livid idol
#

1440p is a stretch, you'd want a minimum of 6gb vram, 8gb preferred

#

1080p is easy though

rustic pulsar
#

let me revise that

livid idol
#

Um, 3060 does 1080p max and 1440p medium lol

hasty monolith
#

not getting xt version

rustic pulsar
#

2060/2060S/2070/2070S/2070/3060/6600xt/3060ti -whatever u can find cheapest, i would shoot for a 2060S or higher tho

livid idol
#

That's fair. Yeah any of those will easily do 1080p high or better.

hasty monolith
#

im trying to keep price under 700 usd

livid idol
#

For the whole thing?

hasty monolith
#

yeah

livid idol
#

Ah that makes more sense

rustic pulsar
#

thats not really gonna happen for a high 1080p pc

hasty monolith
#

anything i buy would be a whole lot better than a rx560 2gb

livid idol
#

Tricky, but doable if you have a little luck

rustic pulsar
#

i would settle for a 1070/1070ti with that budget

livid idol
#

12100+B660 might fit the budget, great option

rustic pulsar
livid idol
#

Yeah
But not ddr4 version

I just installed a second GPU into my PC/server I now have no video output from any port not even the primary what the duck

Also update I took the second GPU out now I have no POST and the mobos CPU error light is on

#

I'ma try clearing CMOS

#

Probably won't change much but might as well try

#

Nvm I'm a idiot that magically fixed it honestly most times I have tried the CMOS trick it dosent work

runic crypt
cloud juniper
#

Oh this is horrible

#

RX 550 AND GTX 580

#

Side by side

green harness
#

Why?

cloud juniper
#

Basically since well GPU shortage

runic crypt
cloud juniper
#

I was a 3D modeler I ran on 2x E5-2650 v2 16 cores total

#

Then my mobo died

#

So I moved to a 5950x thinking it would outperform the 2012 Xeons by miles

#

It didn't.. it's considerably slower (Yes the CPU itself is faster but it only has 2 memory channels meaning the 5950x is stuck waiting for memory 70% of the time in my usual tasks)

runic crypt
#

oh you're into 3d?

#

nice, i've wanted to

cloud juniper
#

So while I used to just let whatever modeling program use 80% of my cores while I went and gamed or whatever on the remains 20% now if I do that on the 5950x everything will start stuttering massively

#

Because the processor is stuck waiting for the memory

runic crypt
#

wait, you've modeled and gamed simultaneously?

cloud juniper
#

Rendered but yea

runic crypt
#

that's a toughie

cloud juniper
#

I used to do 8k renders in the background while gaming

runic crypt
#

i honestly don't consider doing two heavy things at once

cloud juniper
#

With no noticeable difference

runic crypt
#

since single screen

cloud juniper
#

No rendering is something that has nothing to do with you
You just press render and wait

runic crypt
#

do APU / intgfx have the same shortage as GPU btw>

#

oh that's nice

#

so you don't need to take action

#

no wonder you'd want to game meanwhile

cloud juniper
#

So now since I can't do my usual of letting spare CPU cores render

#

I need something to offload rendering to even if it's slow

#

So I got my old GTX 580 out

#

But yes AM4 cpus are horrendous for raw computation

#

Just due to having only a measly 2 memory channels

cloud juniper
#

Yes

#

I wish I went with a first gen threadripper instead

#

The notion that the 5950x is good for productivity

#

Should be considered fraud

livid idol
#

I even looked it up recently, with quad channel the max memory bandwidth of a ddr3 xeon is 20% higher than the 11900k on ddr4

livid idol
cloud juniper
#

Ikr

#

another reason i chose to use the 580 as my dedicated render GPU is

#

its winter

#

and its been quite cold the past few nights

hasty monolith
#

what type of gaming in 2060-2080 geared for 1440 or 4k?

heady turtle
#

What?

#

2060 is 1080p

#

2080 1440p

#

2070 ehh depends
