[rugged thunder]

Been just browsing on pc part picker for a new build

Gotta remember the 3060 is a larger card though

I don't think those single fan 3060s sound too good

Is the RX6600 good?

I see a few people compare them

Ah

My bad

I found an RX 6600 for $389

Good deal?

Amazon

Shipped by Amazon

And it has the sapphire technology link

RTX no not at all

Dlss not too much no

I'm on 1080p yeah

No reason for me to go higher for me atm

Since I have a smaller display

It seems to be pretty close to the 3060

While having less power draw

And using 8 pin

[keen nacelle]

I wouldnt recommend upgrading from a 1660s to a 6600

[rugged thunder]

Hm

Alright

[keen nacelle]

6700xt or 3060 ti imo

[rugged thunder]

Makes sense

I think the 6600 would be the best if I wanted to stay with the prebuilt, but I probably have to move eventually

[keen nacelle]

Eh, if theyre lucky enough to get a sub $500 3060 ti it's Wirth it

[keen nacelle]

It's not much of an upgrade

[rugged thunder]

Yeah

[keen nacelle]

It's like going 1660s to 2060

Not worth the money

[rugged thunder]

Dunno how much the 1660s stacks up

Compared to the 2000 series

I've been told to skip it

[keen nacelle]

Cheapest 6700xt in stock rn is $20 less than 3060 ti

[rugged thunder]

Nah i can't blame you

If you're faster eh fair

"Nooo don't get that gpu I wanted it!!!"

I don't really have a bias towards either amd or Nvidia

Tbf

[keen nacelle]

20 series is fine

If you can grab a 2070s or higher I'd go for it

But you'd need a new psu if going for one of those or a 3060ti/6700xt to be safe

[rugged thunder]

Probably when I rebuild my pc ill try to snag one of these bigger tiers

The 6600 is the best for my current psu, only real reason it came up

[keen nacelle]

I'm about to just list my 6800xt at what I paid+shipping because I just want it gone

[rugged thunder]

The 6600 pulls less power then my current card

Barely though

By a few watts

[keen nacelle]

You won't notice much of an increase tho

6600xt might be fine

[rugged thunder]

Yeah

[keen nacelle]

And is a decent upgrade

[rugged thunder]

This is just a thought thing atm

[keen nacelle]

And 6600xt is a bit better than 3060 not including dlss/rtx

[rugged thunder]

Is XT just a similar version to a TI?

From what I'm understanding

[keen nacelle]

Pretty much

6800=3070 ti about

6800xt can beat 3080

6600=2060 or so, 6600xt =2070s

You get the point

[rugged thunder]

Hm, could the 6600xt work in my pc

[keen nacelle]

One sec

[rugged thunder]

Power draw seems a bit high

Yeah ill check

[keen nacelle]

Should be fine

160w

[rugged thunder]

8 pin i assume?

Like the 1660 super?

[keen nacelle]

Believe so

[rugged thunder]

Ah

[keen nacelle]

?

I'm still gonna try for a 3080 fe

[rugged thunder]

Ray tracing is just a very fancy gimmick in games

Imo

[keen nacelle]

If i could sell on ebay I'd easily get more than i paid

But ebay is annoying

[rugged thunder]

Like 3D was in the early 2010s

[keen nacelle]

Oh no it's perfectly fine

I just hate amd ocing

I have

It requires vbios modding

Which I'm not messing with

I also like being able to use trex

[rugged thunder]

I just remembered Nintendo is apparently using FSR

From what I've heard

For switch sports

What a great use case

I'll watch the 6600xt online

It should be big enough of a jump to be worth it

Surprised how low the power draw is compared to a 3060

Finally I can play true next gen titles like
Black ops 3
Black ops 2
Black ops 1

Wait

World at War

Gran..turismo 2?

ok yeah GT2 is somewhat intensive to emulate

[magic wing]

too bad its utter garbage

[rugged thunder]

Eh the game will run fine either way

I don't think it's needed though

Cmon its the switch

The only Nintendo game I've played with Performance issues was day 1 BOTW

[magic wing]

true all the games on it still using 5 year+ old looking graphics because hardware is garbo

[rugged thunder]

Fair

Not gonna lie and say it's not true

Love the switch but I think it'll get the "New 3ds" treatment eventually

And that's for the better

[magic wing]

gt710 beats the switch iirc

[rugged thunder]

Too bad we won't get BOTW in native 60fps

Even with emulation the game engine just doesn't like 60fps

I highly doubt Nintendo would ever recode it

[magic wing]

its the hardware not game engine most probably'

[rugged thunder]

The game was made to play at 30 because the hardware yeah

And 30fps isn't bad if it's stable imo

[magic wing]

ah

[rugged thunder]

Especially for the slower, exploring esque game like it is

You can tell the physics engine was made around 30fps, so it mightve started with the wii u

Thats what BOTW was originally intended for

Was delayed like 4 times lol

So Nintendo pushed it back and made it both a switch and wii u game

From watching some videos the 6600xt seems like a pretty decent jump from the 1660 super

Jeez

[vital oriole]

yep

It's got 3060 perf

[rugged thunder]

For 120ish watts

Which I'm pretty sure...matches the 1660 super

[vital oriole]

but

make sure to run pcie 4.0

6600xt gets crippled when you run pcie 3.0

Due to 8 lanes of pcie 4.0 on the card

[rugged thunder]

Lemme check

[vital oriole]

Which mobo and cpu do you have?

I can check for you

[rugged thunder]

Yeah damn I think it uses 3.0

[vital oriole]

aw rip

[rugged thunder]

Some prebuilt mobo

[vital oriole]

3060 is only viable

[rugged thunder]

Welp staying at 1660 super

[vital oriole]

amd out there destroying the selling point of a budget card

[rugged thunder]

I don't think the psu can handle the 3060

[vital oriole]

it could

[rugged thunder]

400 watts

I've heard people say thats cutting it close

[vital oriole]

3060 doesn't take much more power than 6600xt

It's not cutting it close with a 3600

It's just fine really

You have a psu with platinum 80+ rating anyway

It should be able to deliver basically full 400w

[rugged thunder]

I didn't see at peak when people say 170 watts

I thought that was normal speed

[vital oriole]

Peak is like only around 200 watts

Gotta check this tho

[rugged thunder]

Yeah

[vital oriole]

I forgot about it lol

[rugged thunder]

Lol

[vital oriole]

Meh, it's still 170 watts at peak

No need to worry then

[rugged thunder]

Does the 3060 need anymore then an 8 pin foe the power

[vital oriole]

Depends on the card

You have to check

Like the specific 3060 you're getting

[rugged thunder]

Yea probably

I've heard 8, 12

But 12 for...rgb

Gross

3060 still kinda pricy though but eh

That's just the market

[vital oriole]

yeah

[rugged thunder]

They make single fan ones

Wha

Doesn't sound too good cooling wise

[vital oriole]

it's.. meh

it's gonna have to run high rpm to keep itself reasonably cool

[rugged thunder]

And it'll probably be loud

Then again I have a single fan 1660 super

Stays under 70 and I can't hear it

Same brand too

Pny

[rugged thunder]

I think I'll just get a 2 fan

It should fit fine

Will the 3060 work fine on PCI 3?

I found a 3060 on newegg for $379

Nvm was a 3050

Pain

6600xt and 3060 are the two main ones I thinking about

They both hover near a similar price

6600xt has lower power draw but 3060 uses dlss

[rustic pulsar]

6600xt is slightly better than 3060. Both work perfectly fine with pci 3, little any difference in performance between 3 and 4

[rugged thunder]

Ah

Should I just go for whatever is cheaper then

[rustic pulsar]

Yeah

[heady turtle]

Ehhh well some 6600xts are only 8 lanes....

Of gen 4

[rustic pulsar]

I mean mine was better than my 3060 on pci 3

[rugged thunder]

Depends on model then

Hm

I think the 3060 is cheaper on average?

[heady turtle]

Depends on country tbh

[rugged thunder]

Yea

True

[dusty basin]

Can anybody plz dm me for help about black screen and gpu fan accelerating to 100% while gaming. GeForce Rtx 2060 6 gig. Can’t find any solutions online. PLEASE HELP!!

[rugged thunder]

Bad psu?

[dusty basin]

I’m not tech savvy idk what caused it. Only a recent issue. Some days are worse than others

[heady turtle]

Try DDU, there's a guide in the pins

Otherwise it's just dead and you need to contact your GPU manufacturer and claim warranty/repair

[dreamy dragon]

Akatsukißoi (Itachi)🍣#8666 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rugged thunder]

Bad word

[heady turtle]

Yup I could read it but still should be under GPU warranty so should be okay

[dusty basin]

Alright thanks guys I’ll give it a go

[karmic crag]

oh lort bb's droppin

[rugged thunder]

Oh lordie

[rugged thunder]

They make 6 gig models? Gross

[rugged thunder]

I was gonna snag it but my current card is 6gb

[ivory herald]

That's actually plenty for that model. The bigger issue is $300+ for it.

[heady turtle]

5600xt is like 3 years old ish + there’s a lot more to a gpu than memory capacity

[rugged thunder]

I know but still

More vram then I have now would be nice

[heady turtle]

6gb is plenty for a 1080p card tbh

[rugged thunder]

Some games like cold war are kinda iffy but eh

Game sucks

[heady turtle]

nah cold war doesnt use that much

[rugged thunder]

Wondering if its a big jump of performance over the 1660s

I would assume so

If it was originally meant on the more budget end of the mid tier of cards

[hot folio]

Only about 10% iirc

[rugged thunder]

Id say more vram would be better for FH5

But I still think ultra/extreme quality is bugged

[heady turtle]

your gpu is a bigger problem than the vram ino

[rugged thunder]

Probably

It's just at the edge of "this is fine, but I want a bit more"

If that sounds right

[heady turtle]

1660 super is definitely not a high detail card

[rugged thunder]

More of an "esports" title card

[heady turtle]

Try medium

[rugged thunder]

From what i hear

It handles most games at high at some 100-80fps

[heady turtle]

mhm

[rugged thunder]

Cold war iffy on it

Jumps from the 60s to the 100ish range

Forza is actually pretty stable

Then again FH4 also was

[cosmic bluff]

A 1660 is a great card for what it could do it survived me torturing it using it for oculus link through modded beat saber and a lot of hours playing into the radius and the forest

[rugged thunder]

1660 super trying to imitate a ps4 fan

I haven't tried vr with it yet

But beatsaber seems to be on the easier end of VR games to run

Considering it being a bit older and more simple

[cosmic bluff]

Not with mods like noodle extension's and chroma with bhaptics finally being added

And a 1650 super is the minimum requirements to run oculus link so a 1660 isn't too far behind but still a great little card

[rugged thunder]

Ah

[ivory herald]

Basically 5600XT isn't enough of an upgrade to bother with. . I mean look at the end of my name, I'm in a similar boat

[keen nacelle]

5600xt isn't even an upgrade for you

It's a down grade

[ivory herald]

Exactly. I thought 1660S was close. Been a while since I've even read reviews on those old cards. Oh, actually I recall I'm close to a 2060 almost. After 1080 price drips surely not in a hurry to upgrade that now, & 40 series might just effect 30 series a bit if we're lucky

[keen nacelle]

No

1070 very slightly loses to 2060

1080=2070 without dlss and rtx

Also worse nvenc

[ivory herald]

No big deal. It's very likely the old 3550 I tested w/ influenced timespy gfx score quite a bit. I'll test w/ this "3770" then I'll of course bench when I get the 11700 setup to see how things change.

[livid idol]

And then 3060 falls between 2070 and 2070S

[keen nacelle]

1080 and 1080 ti are still great cards

[livid idol]

^ Yep, just missing latest features

Missing DLSS isn't as bad now that AMD stuff is getting bigger

And supports 10 series

[keen nacelle]

Fal

I need an opinion

Im tryna sell my 6800xt, because I prefer nvidia

Don't like adrenalin

[livid idol]

You came to the right person, I have lots of opinions

[keen nacelle]

Or amd ocing overall

Someone just offered a 3070 ti as a trade

Worth?

[livid idol]

Straight trade?

[keen nacelle]

Not sure

I could see if he'd add cash

What do you think would be fair?

[livid idol]

6800XT is about 20% better than 3070 ti

[green harness]

Yeah that's not a good trade

6800xt is in 3080 territory

[ivory herald]

Seems like a straight trade would be in Bacca's favor for sure

[green harness]

Reverse that

[ivory herald]

Yea, lol. Edit: I wouldn't do that swap even w/ cash from them. That's me who prefers Nvidia, but not their prices

[livid idol]

Yeah, at 1440p gaming that's the difference of playing at 120 hz vs 165

[green harness]

What did you pay for it and what model of each card?

[keen nacelle]

FE 70 ti, reference 6800xt

His is from best buy Mines from amd direct

[livid idol]

https://www.gpucheck.com/compare/amd-radeon-rx-6800-xt-vs-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-ti/

[ivory herald]

Btw 3070Ti is lately $700, sometimes. AMD definitely has decent value w/ their higher end stuff. 3070ti TDP is also a bit crap VS 3070 for example.

[keen nacelle]

I know it slaps it around

[livid idol]

Just one source of course, don't take that as gospel

[green harness]

Yikes just don't. Your card is cheaper and faster

[keen nacelle]

Hes offering 100 on top, I asked for 150

[green harness]

Wait actually let me check fe MSRP again

[keen nacelle]

I also don't need it

And won't use it

[livid idol]

$600

vs 6800XT of $650

[green harness]

Yeah so I was wrong. 6800xt is $50 more

Yeah I mathed bad

[livid idol]

That might be fair

[keen nacelle]

He said 125

[hot folio]

Honestly you probably could get a straight trade for a 3080

[keen nacelle]

Not with this market

[green harness]

I just wouldn't do that, but I guess if all you need is a 70Ti you're at least not losing money.

[green harness]

It may be possible, but it's highly unlikely

[keen nacelle]

And I still have my 60 ti that I can sell to make ip the rest of the original cost and then some

[livid idol]

If you're not doing 4k you don't need 3080 level performance anyway

[keen nacelle]

I'm doing 1080p lmao

[green harness]

Do the trade and put 100-125 toward a 1440p high refresh monitor

[livid idol]

Welp that's 200+ fps on max detail lol

[green harness]

Depends on CPU.

[keen nacelle]

Idrc for 1440p gaming. I'm fine on 1080p for now

[livid idol]

And game but yeah

[green harness]

Even more reason to drop down. My money is on you being CPU bound so you likely see the same performance even after switching cards

[keen nacelle]

I know I'll be cpu bound

Overall it's a free upgrade

[green harness]

Well no. It's a downgrade. But you get a slightly cheaper 70Ti (assuming it's all legit)

[keen nacelle]

No, because I'm selling the 6800xt if I'm not trading it

[ivory herald]

Actually tbh I'd probably go to 3070 before 70 Ti.

[keen nacelle]

I dont like and ocing, and don't have a use for that

And I'll sell my 3060 ti to make up the rest of the cost

[green harness]

Well yeah, 70 is much better value

[livid idol]

And also harder to find rn

Much like the 80

[green harness]

Yep

[ivory herald]

Oh yea plain 70 for instance would be a fair bit of hunting. Might be a few owners wanting to trade up.

[keen nacelle]

I'm prolly gonna go for it, because it's still an upgrade from my 3060 ti (not much I know but still there) and will be "free"

[green harness]

You sure it's legit? Nothing wrong with the card or anything?

[keen nacelle]

Hes gonna take a video of it working

I'll do the same when I get home

Current in phili

So trade isn't happening till the weekend

[green harness]

Ah that's good.

I messaged someone with a FB listing asking for that kind of thing and then they stopped replying

Either it was a scam or someone else wasn't so cautious

[keen nacelle]

He suggested it in the first place so

Should be fine

[green harness]

Nice

[rugged thunder]

Accounts created this month with zero reviews and a "great deal'

No pfp as a bonus

[green harness]

It was an older account. Coulda been a card with something wrong with it, that'd be my main worry

[rugged thunder]

Ah

[keen nacelle]

If anything I'll prolly put it towards a cpu upgrade

I know it accomplishes a similar goal

But 5700x

[frigid anvil]

If your on AMD wait for that 3D stuff.
If your on Intel I'd aim for 12th gen as a big upgrade or 11th gen if you already have a board for it.

The IPC will help you.

[keen nacelle]

Got an meh b550. It'll survive with a 5700x

If I don't go for a 5700x I have my eyes on a 13600k

[livid idol]

Which board?

Check it against this list. It's not 100% accurate of course but helpful for the most part. Even the Pro-VDH is C tier, which does 125A with very little airflow. Enough for a 5900X at 1.2v. My board is a C tier running OC'd 5800X.
https://linustechtips.com/topic/1137619-motherboard-vrm-tier-list-v2-currently-amd-only/

[magic wing]

mine be tier b

[hard wren]

I wouldnt put too much stock in VRM tiers

in my experience unless you are using LN it really shouldn't matter too much

if those numbers were really accurate it should be impossible for my F tier gigabyte z370p d3 to oc my 8700k to 5.3 on all cores but yet it does and has for the last 5 years now

I want to preface that I'm not saying a better mobo isnt a good idea it just really shouldn't have a big impact on performance or overclocking ability for majority of users

[keen nacelle]

D tier

[livid idol]

Still good enough, 100A with low airflow

If it becomes a problem put a fan near the vrm

[keen nacelle]

Msrp of the 7600xt is supposed to be around $400-$500

And its supposed to be around 6800xt perf, with better Ray tracing

[green harness]

Take rumors like that with a big grain of salt

[keen nacelle]

I know, I know

Fun to look at though

[green harness]

Eh, I just ignore them until very close to release and even then I take them with a massive grain of salt until reviews come in

[heady turtle]

Perf is probably in the right ball park - price is anyones gusss

[hard wren]

do we know if they are dedicating cores to ray tracing this time?

[heady turtle]

They already dedicated cores to RT no?

[hard wren]

I didnt think amd did but maybe I'm wrong

oh yeah they did 6700,6800,6900 for sure

[heady turtle]

I mean how else would they do RT

[hard wren]

software

[green harness]

They don't have specific RT cores like Nvidia rtx cards do

[heady turtle]

Ohh i thought they had cores for it... Guess they just virtualised it?

[hard wren]

I believe so

[green harness]

My 1060-mobile technically traced some rays in Quake 2 rtx, but it did so at like single digit fps iirc

[heady turtle]

Lol

All my RT cores are being used for is NV broadcast lol

[hard wren]

yeah like the 6800xt can make 72 of its cores act as "ray accelerators" but like @green harness said they arent dedicated like nvidia where they are only tuned for ray tracing

[heady turtle]

Ahhh that makes sense

[hard wren]

but in the end not sure which will be better. In the nvidia cards those cores are essentially worthless when not using RT and the amd cores can swing both ways

right now nvidia cards can get about double the performance RT wise out of the same number of cores as amd but that can probably be improved on with software.

[heady turtle]

Yeah if rt cores could do raster even if not as good that would be a good improvement

[hard wren]

and even better for AMD, Khronos Group/Vulcan is working on the software end not them lol

[rugged thunder]

Lol

[hard wren]

I like AMD but their drivers....

[rugged thunder]

They just bad?

[magic wing]

are much better

and get better by the day

[hard wren]

they do I agree just had some bad experiences in the past

[magic wing]

makes sense

[hard wren]

and I unfairly sometimes lump their cpu software in

for gpu i just wish they were a little quicker they seem to have one update for every 4 a same age nvidia card gets

[keen nacelle]

I haven't had any of the issues with nvidia drivers that I've heard other people have had

Even with hashrate I've never had issues, like sips has had issues with newer drivers messing with hashrate

[hard wren]

nvidia has messed with hash rate limiting/blocking a lot more than amd

[keen nacelle]

Oh definitely

I just much prefer nvidias ocing

Which is why I switched back to nvidia so quickly

[hard wren]

I bought one of those radeon vii paper weights so I am a little bias

[rugged thunder]

I found a 5600xt for $250

Is that an aight deal?

[hard wren]

not really

[rugged thunder]

Ah

Alright

[hard wren]

a 1070 would perform better

[keen nacelle]

It isn't an upgrade from your 1660 super

[rugged thunder]

Gotcha

[keen nacelle]

At all

[hard wren]

you could try to find a 6700 for around $300 if you want amd

[keen nacelle]

?

What?

[hard wren]

well i mean used obviously

[keen nacelle]

Did you mean 5700

Because not even 6600s are going for 300 used

[rugged thunder]

Sold my soul on ebay for 50 bucks

[hard wren]

yeah I should have said $400

[keen nacelle]

That still doesn't make sense

[hard wren]

these prices need to start coming down already...

[keen nacelle]

You said 6700

[heady turtle]

They're drivers are good - excluding rx 5000 that was a bit messy the rest are rock solid - i had an r9 380 for 5 years? My gf has a 580 and no problems

[hard wren]

[keen nacelle]

Active listing

Look at sold listings

[rugged thunder]

A bid

[keen nacelle]

Also

Read the description

It isn't working lol

[hard wren]

buy it nows are closer to 450

[heady turtle]

They could get a 3060/6600xt sure but not 6700xt

[keen nacelle]

^

[hard wren]

yeah I thought they would be cheaper by now

[keen nacelle]

Outta curiosity

Is 3070 ti+ 125 an alright trade for my 6800xt

[rugged thunder]

Yeah I'm just looking at 3060/6600xt

Don't swing either way

Whatever is cheaper I buy

[hard wren]

3060 would be a nice if it was actually msrp

[rugged thunder]

What was msrp? I honestly forgot

[hard wren]

$330

[heady turtle]

Personally i think 3070 ti + 175 -200 for a 6800xt depending on model

[keen nacelle]

330, but fe doesn't exist

[rugged thunder]

B r u h

[keen nacelle]

Fe and reference

Both basically new

[heady turtle]

3060s go for about 400$ now tho

[hard wren]

I couldnt find a new one for less than 450

[keen nacelle]

Evga drops them for 430 consistently

[heady turtle]

I think 3070 ti + 175 imo maybe + 150 but 125 would be an undersell

[keen nacelle]

Alr

Thanks

[hard wren]

do they still do that stupid wednesday thing

[heady turtle]

Np

[keen nacelle]

?

[heady turtle]

What Wednesday thing?

[keen nacelle]

They drop multiple times a week

Most of the time four times a week

[hard wren]

used to have special deals on wednesdays on EVGA

[rugged thunder]

Spin a wheel we either kill you or give you a gpu

[heady turtle]

I never seen that

[hard wren]

I get their spam emails

[rugged thunder]

Same

Tbh

[hard wren]

https://www.evga.com/midweekmadness/

yep still a thing

[heady turtle]

Huh

[rugged thunder]

Guess I'll be on tonight

Waiting while I play warzone

[velvet grail]

Hi everyone
A friend of mine has a problem with his pc, the main problem might be the GPU, (1660s) the GPU/entire PC shuts down, black screen, and it automatically restarts immediately after

What could it be?

[rugged thunder]

Uhhhh

[heady turtle]

Open up event viewer on their pc

[velvet grail]

Where is it?😅

[heady turtle]

Windows search for event viewer

[heady turtle]

Then open custom views -> administrative events

[hard wren]

could be a lot of things

[heady turtle]

See if you see anything time stamped before their shutdown

Shutdown will be called kernal error most likely

[hard wren]

how old is the pc?

[velvet grail]

Only kernel, but it just because he voluntarily shut it down

[velvet grail]

5months

I mean, it was upgraded 5months ago

[keen nacelle]

What was changed

[hard wren]

simple things that could cause that are a dying cmos battery, or loose cables from the power button

of course I am assuming what you are saying is : they power it on and then sometime prior to windows loading it restarts then does actually load into windows

[gray bloom]

any founder on 6500xt or 6600?

forgot what they called so i based it on nvidia

[cerulean rover]

frontier's edition? don't think so

[gray bloom]

is that what they call it?

ive only seen it with 6700xt or higher

[hard wren]

I wonder if they make some for the photos on their website or if those are just renders

*Artistic product rendering.

[keen nacelle]

Reference?

[hard wren]

its a render

[heady turtle]

No reference card for anything under 6700xt and no founders for anything under 3060 ti

[hard wren]

for crypto mining in style

I dont think it games very well though

Radeon™ Vega Frontier Edition (Air-cooled)

[velvet grail]

May have found the problem, my friend activated SVM (which I personally don't even know why it's for)

After that the pc started to crash

[hard wren]

that shouldnt really affect anything

just lets you use a virtual machine

[heady turtle]

Looks kinda like the LA Valiant made a GPU

[velvet grail]

Maybe it's just a coincidence

If you want the "founders edition" for the AMD new cards just 3D print it 👍

[magic wing]

update chipset drivers

from amd support site

NOT motherboard page

and update bios

[heady turtle]

For reference
https://images.app.goo.gl/ubcGUcEVutC3dP4T7

[hard wren]

I was assuming it was amd too but i didnt want to jump to conclusions LOL

[velvet grail]

Why not

?

[magic wing]

intel calls it VT-x

not svm

[heady turtle]

Amds site has most up to date

[hard wren]

ah

[velvet grail]

Oh, you mena they don't care much about placing single updates for motherboard directly on the motherboard updates section?

[magic wing]

yeah

[velvet grail]

🤨 🤨 bruh

[magic wing]

they list compatible ones

just not always latest

but yeah getting drivers from the company that made the product always best

[hard wren]

its more important to AMD than the mobo manufacturor

[magic wing]

https://github.com/NeweggTechie/Update-Drivers-Firmware/releases/tag/Script

Download that

and use it to go through each section

ull have all the drivers u need

[hard wren]

also same reason why you go to nvidia/amds website for gpu drivers as opposed to evga,asus,msi, etc...

see evga has them but no one would download them from here

[hot folio]

I didn’t even know EVGA had drivers

[fading glacier]

those are the same drivers from nvidia

just reposted on the evga webpage for quick access

[hard wren]

you will notice that they are also behind by one

[lament inlet]

Hi I have a question!

I’m about to swap my gpu (1660 super) for a new one (2070 super) and was wondering do I need to have two separate pcie cables from my psu to power the gpus 8 & 6 pin or will one cable with two heads work?

[tribal raft]

should i just get a 3060ti rn or wait for a 4060\

[heady turtle]

Use 2 if you can

[heady turtle]

Depends if you can wait - guessing you have igp because of nick so I'd buy now and get a cpu upgrade

[tribal raft]

get like a 12600k?

and just use the igpu on there for a few months

[lament inlet]

Okay I currently have plugged in a single 8 - 2x6+2 pcie from my psu, you’d recommend a second cord from my psu for each power port on the gpu?

[heady turtle]

12400 or 12600k yeah

[tribal raft]

hmm ok ty

[heady turtle]

Yes

[fading glacier]

most likely 4080 and 4070 should be the first to arrive... 4060 probably mid to end 2023

just so you know

and thats if the 40 series arrive mid to end 2022

[tribal raft]

i thought they all dropped at once and the ti's came later

oh welp

[fading glacier]

nope

nvidia need to milk the big bois first

[tribal raft]

makes sense

[ivory herald]

ASUS KO GeForce RTX 3060 Ti was $530 on newegg before OOS, just to mention how prices are slowly but surely improving. 3070 at $650 or less would also start to be pretty good. Strix 3070 for exactly $700 isn't currently too crazy though.

[karmic crag]

yeah i've been noticing a lot of good deals like that recently

[ivory herald]

It's funny even the 3060 Ti beats 2080 Ti in many games. Last June I sure overpaid a bit, but I'm also not sad I skipped 20 series.

[livid idol]

That's why you got so many people panic selling their 2080 ti right around the time of 3060 ti launch. I saw some people get one for $250.

[hot folio]

Is it okay that I’m running two cables and one daisy chain on my 3080? I mean like 2 ports have their own cables to them and one port is daisy chained

[livid idol]

It's probably fine. The spec says 150W per cable (including daisy chained) but most power supplies are overbuilt and can take 250W+. The voltage might not be as reliable but that's a minor thing.

[heady turtle]

That and sometimes need to wait for worse bins

[heady turtle]

Butttt uhh that doesn't even make sense tho even with 400$ 3060 ti

[ivory herald]

Oh I'd take a $250 2080 Ti over a $400+ 3060 Ti any day.

[keen nacelle]

Nvm saw the rest of the thread. Need coffee

[rugged thunder]

What's the point in lying in the price thing

It's not like fb doesn't go to $1330

[cerulean rover]

@rugged thunder Facebook doesn't let you ship items over 500$

So they list for 500 so the listing reaches more people

[heady turtle]

Also if they sort low to high it will show up sooner

[sullen panther]

How would you even do the transaction for something over 500 without getting scammed

[fathom wolf]

Will this card "MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3080 12GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X PLUS 12G OC LHR" install on my "X470 GAMING PRO CARBON AM4" MOBO?
Not sure about the PCI 4.0.
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X470-GAMING-PRO-CARBON/Specification

[keen nacelle]

There's some other questions first

What cpu are you running

I'd also not buy that gpu

Cooling is terrible

On 3070 or lower its alright

But not on g6x

[magic wing]

3x is fiiiinneeeeee

[keen nacelle]

Ehh, for a 3080 not really

I'd avoid it if possible

[magic wing]

It is fine

[keen nacelle]

Especially considering a decent model 3080 10gb will cost less and isn't much worse

[magic wing]

Its not great

But its fine

Better model than the ventus and I'd assume cheaper

Yes, it will work on that motherboard

[heady turtle]

It will work but i would try get a better card than ventus 3080, it's just alright

Yeah thats the first one I linked

[heady turtle]

Yeah that's nice

[fathom wolf]

So I ask again, will one of these on my PCI SLOT?

Work

[keen nacelle]

.

[fathom wolf]

Ok thanks

[rugged thunder]

Knife fight

[sullen panther]

Oh I see

[rugged thunder]

Especially on FB

You're lucky if you don't get shot

[fathom wolf]

So I’m assuming upgrading from a 1070 to a 3080 should make games look and run much better. Oddly, I do see forum comments about 3080’s sometimes with poor FPS.

[rugged thunder]

Probably some kind of bottlenecks?

"Guys will my quad core cpu bottleneck my 3080"

[keen nacelle]

Yes. And ignore those forums, I haven't had any issues running a single game at ultra 1080p with a 3060 ti

[rugged thunder]

Unless its some extreme bottleneck yeah I wouldn't worry

[keen nacelle]

Theyre prolly running 4k and wondering why they can't do 60fps ultra

[rugged thunder]

4k and raytracing

[keen nacelle]

Mmm

[rugged thunder]

And don't wanna submit to 30fps

"Ew console fps"

Or somethin

The higher I see people go in hardware the more they complain it can't do things they want

"Why can't the 3080 do 4K 60FPS with raytracing this card blows"

[fathom wolf]

Yea I just run 1080. Get 100 FPS on max settings with most games. Had to upgrade my CPU for BF2042 though.

[rugged thunder]

A 3080 for 1080p?

Yeah you're fine lmao

"I hate scalpers"
buys from them every month

You know what isn't scalped? Mario Tennis on Nintendo 64

[keen nacelle]

3080 is such overkill for 1080p. What cpu do you have?

[rugged thunder]

Yea its like $25 lmao

I want a boxed mario tennis

It was the first game daisy was playable in

[fathom wolf]

[rugged thunder]

Becomes a cult classic in 20-30 years

[heady turtle]

Yep if a 3080 is having poor fps they're doing unplayable settings or messed something up

[green harness]

My brother runs into issues with Resident Evil Village at 4k with maxed out settings. I suspect he may be trying to use too much VRAM, but I've had a hard time convincing him to just turn things down 😕
So it can happen

[heady turtle]

Yes unplayable settings at least for a 3080 lol

[keen nacelle]

out of curiosity

if nvidia made a card that wasnt pcie powered

could an AIB make a pcie powered version?

[green harness]

Yeah he's considering getting a 90 now 😕

[heady turtle]

Yup they did that with the 1650

[keen nacelle]

oh really

cool

[livid idol]

Might as well go full send on the 90 ti then

Or else just deal with it until the 4080 comes out and almost doubles performance

[fathom wolf]

Bought it. Thanks for the advise. The prices for GPU's have been ridicules but have recently come down somewhat.

[green harness]

I'm trying to convince him to just wait. idk if he overestimates what he could get for his 3080 or what
But it's also his money and PC so overall I just want to share my perspective and give advice on how to get what he wants if he does choose to upgrade

[fathom wolf]

People who wait for the next best thing never get anything. Especially with gaming computers.

[green harness]

That's 100% not what this is about

This is about cost/benefit

It's a good time to upgrade his 7700k to a new platform, it's not a great time to go from one of the best GPUs available to a slightly better GPU (imo) especially since the vram is likely most useful for one game

[livid idol]

And about nothing in the current gen having the capability that they want, 4k high fps on a graphically challenging game on max settings

[green harness]

Yep, it's pretty far down the diminishing returns curve

[ivory herald]

3060 ti for $550ish is as close to a value* choice someone can have. It matches a 2080 ti at least. No doubt a 7700K would see a moderate upgrade to a even just a 12400.

[pure sail]

My question is… Do I go for a 3060ti or a 3060

[cerulean rover]

If you can, 3060ti

3060ti is decently better than 3060, a good margin despite the similarity of the name

[fading glacier]

in fact a big margin between those 2 unlike the 3070 and the 70ti

[ivory herald]

Yeah 3060 & 3060 ti about 30-35% away in performance and also price, give or take. 3060 ti AIB is often $550ish now & for example matches 2080 ti at least. 👍 - imo depends on what ya upgrade from and/or if the $150-200 savings is a big deal.

[analog badge]

i'm getting my brother's rx 6600 at the end of the year and was wondering if it would need a nice airflow case (im thinking of 4000d right now)

[livid idol]

6600 won't be too hot for it to matter much. Airflow is still best but as long as it's not a H510 or something it's fine.

[keen nacelle]

Mx330-g air is great for the price

Just ugly

[rugged thunder]

Very

Lmao

[vital oriole]

i don't mind the mx330's looks tbh

i'd say 90's beige computers are the ugliest

[normal hawk]

I cringe whenever people have the H510 case on their list with a NZXT aio

Like, you're literally paying more for garbage.

Corsair is expensive too, but their AIO's are at least good. Their problem being the awful software with ICUE

Their cases are great though

[ivory herald]

Nah, I suggest an aio from someone who's had a good rep w/ them instead of a random not fantastic case maker. Even cooler master has some sketch aios

<-- this emote for that reason lol. Generally quite a handful of good aio companies and good aios. Arctic Freezer II, EK, Lian Li has a few, nzxt actually has a couple. I'd have to look more up as I prefer a normal HSF until the day I need an aio like w/ a future 13700K or something.

[marble ingot]

40 series isn't gonna double performance it just isn't realistic

[ivory herald]

30*. 3080 12GB is already $1K, asus tuf 70Ti & Strix 70 hit $700 or less, 60 Ti has hit around $550. That's non-FE obviously, and sure FE can usually sometimes be had for orig nvidia msrp. Juasage Man, 3060 is similar to 2070S, 3060 Ti matches 2080 Ti.

[heady turtle]

Best part about it is adding more fans to the h510 makes it worse

[stone siren]

NZXT cases don't even look good

[heady turtle]

Eh nzxt aios are nothing special just a normal asetek :/ can be thrown in the pile with corsair etc.. I'd actually through the deepcool gammaxx aio in that list instead of nzxt not as good as the other 3 but non asetek

[heady turtle]

Prices are mainly just dropping in NA btw also they meant drop like release

[ivory herald]

https://tenor.com/view/robert-downey-jr-iron-man-is-it-too-much-to-ask-for-both-best-of-both-worlds-why-not-both-gif-3787079

[ivory herald]

Oh yeah, I meant instead of 20 at a decent price, got 30 at a decent price. Personally I think the only 1 or 2 I'm eyeballing lately is 3060 Ti /3070. Sort of no hurry even if prices drop a bit.

sure. In the old days 90 tier was a dual gpu card. exactly 1/2 performance of a 3090 sure isn't too shabby.

[velvet grail]

Is it ok to "overclock" Vega 11 graphics on R5 2400g?
If yes, how should I do it (by using afterburner)
Considering it is an iGPU it might be different than a normal GPU

[vital oriole]

Nah

It's same oc procedure as cpu

Just no vram oc cauze ofc the vram is system ram shared to it

You can oc the igp in 2400g just fine

[heady turtle]

You can oc igpu as well iirc

if it's not locked you can

intel does tho

[keen nacelle]

find the dimensions of the space that the gpu will go in

[keen nacelle]

or if you know the case/pc model, google can do that for you

[shut herald]

Just picked this up!

It's dope because in the end this will only cost me like $300. I sold my 2060 when I got my 3060 in the EVGA queue, I'll do the same again.

[keen nacelle]

nice

[shut herald]

I haven't really planned on upgrading until I checked newegg today and saw this in stock. It's also instock on EVGA. I got a 2440x1440 panel for xmas. It does decent with this 3060ti but in some games I lost performance. The 3070ti should work great with my i7-9700k and my 32gb of ram.

[rugged thunder]

Real

[velvet grail]

I need someone that helps me find the exact dimensions for the GTX1070 pny xlr8

I have to cut some plexiglass for the backplate

[fading glacier]

tried google?

[velvet grail]

Need only these 2 dimensions

[velvet grail]

Yes, but it approximates

I want to see if anyone has this card and can take measurements

I'm not at home rn

[fading glacier]

if the card is yours better to wait to get home and take the measurements yourself, is safer that way

[keen nacelle]

... could also just Google the card

[normal hawk]

Lol Bacca. Ventus 2x 3060 for 389$ + 9.99 shipping. Yes or no? ;P

[ivory herald]

Ventus is a no, but that price is pretty much a yes in the current market.

[rugged thunder]

What is ventus doodoo

[ivory herald]

Getting closer and closer to FE msrp, and it should be for what it compares to.

[cobalt lichen]

3Anyone know of a quick and easy way I can boost the performance of this 6700xt before giving it to the customer. Its scoring low on timespy

[normal hawk]

Ventus is literally the worst AIB model iirc. it matches FE in terms of clocks but has really bad cooling compared to literally any other model

[ivory herald]

Oh indeed, my previous was also for the evga pic right above. Still feels weird a 50 series is $300ish.

[keen nacelle]

No

Evga does 3060 drops for $430 often

There was one for $420 on b stock earlier

I didn't see it till just now

Cuz work

[heady turtle]

That's 40$ more tho that's like more than 10%

[normal hawk]

389 + 10$ is cheaper than 430$

[keen nacelle]

$30 for much better cooling

[normal hawk]

the performance is the same. 2x Ventus is okay for a 3060. shouldn't thermal throttle

[keen nacelle]

I guess

I still would spend the 30 extra and have that much better cooling

[normal hawk]

assuming you don't suffocate it of course

[heady turtle]

Not as much oc headroom is only issue

Maybe a bit loud

[normal hawk]

Can't be worse than the Phoenix fan 2060.

[keen nacelle]

ew USB 2.0 on the front

309.88mm clearance

[keen nacelle]

damn, cant fit a 3090 ti

sucks

single fan 3090 when

[normal hawk]

never hopefully

[keen nacelle]

single fan 4090 ti when

hopefully single fans are gone once 40 series exists

maybe back for 50 if they fix power usage

[normal hawk]

Phoenix fan's improvements are okay on the 3050, wouldn't want it on anything over that though

Phoenix fan 2060's heatsink is the true issue. Two pipes and the fins are less than 2 slots.

3050 is 3 pipes and 2.5 slots instead.

I haven't bothered looking at the 3060 either tbh. bleh

[heady turtle]

[heady turtle]

One single blower + 360mm aio dunked in ice bucket xD

[keen nacelle]

is that a wooper

[normal hawk]

I think they could get away with a Noctua Phoenix fan 3060. if they did the same and extended the heatsink height to 3 slots. but then whats the point. most ITX PC's you'd want it for are not really for 3 slot GPU's

[keen nacelle]

nahh

1060 better

especially if its 3gb

[ivory herald]

good deal if it was 2014-15

[marble ingot]

idk I wasn't into pc gaming until 30 series so all I've ever known is inflated prices

[keen nacelle]

same

[ivory herald]

This is pretty much the worst prices have ever been. Obviously 2080 Ti was maybe $700 or w/e. Crazy that 30 series is more than a year old now also.

[normal hawk]

999 MSRP, 1200 FE

2080 was 699 MSRP, 799 Founders.

When the supers came out it did shift 2060, 2070 and 2080 down 100$ though.

[hot folio]

Well technically it could be possible if you used different SLI auto but I’m not sure

But that’s also true SLI and not NVLink so performance

[cursive otter]

when will the "Super" 30 series come out ya think?

[white bloom]

will games ever crash because i undervolted my card?

[ivory herald]

if too low, of course.

[heady turtle]

Not if it's a stable undervolt

How does integrated graphics work with an external GPU
For example Vega11 + GTX1060

Can someone explain to me why 2060 super's are so expensive?

[cerulean rover]

Last gen, not in mass production any more

[dreamy dragon]

AntiParty#8952 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[open mantle]

damn

I don't really wanna pay 700$ for it

[keen nacelle]

then dont lmao

you can get a 3060 ti brand new for less

[open mantle]

but wont I have to increase my power supply?

[keen nacelle]

not really

i ran one on a 500w psu

depends on what psu youh ave though

[open mantle]

I only got a 500w

[keen nacelle]

what model?

[open mantle]

EVGA BR

[cerulean rover]

Meh, doable still

New PSU can still be <100$

[keen nacelle]

what cpu?

[open mantle]

ryzen 5

[keen nacelle]

B tier 700w for $60 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D3Q2YZ7?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1

[open mantle]

So I would have to get that?

[keen nacelle]

you can

it should be fine without a new psu

but together its cheaper than the 2060s lol

and much better perf

however i ran a 3060 ti and 3600 (ryzen 5) on a 500w bomb

by bomb i mean terrible psu

yours is either b or c tier, i forget

so without ocing youll be fine

[open mantle]

ocing? sorry I dont know much

[keen nacelle]

overclocking

[open mantle]

ohh yea I'm fine without doin that

[cerulean rover]

Br was low priority c

3060ti should do okay one 500w PSU, uv might help perf though

[open mantle]

What is LHR ? just seen it from looking "GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR"

[keen nacelle]

shouldnt go over 250w anyways on stock

low hash rate

doesnt affect performance

[cerulean rover]

Halved eth and erg mining hash rate

[open mantle]

Alright thx

[keen nacelle]

oh it affects ergo too?

[cerulean rover]

It affected something else too because the Alg was too similar

I'm thinking ergo but might be something else

[keen nacelle]

octo maybe?

[cerulean rover]

Maybe

[open mantle]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ty-_-/saved/p3DW4D So does this all seem like a compatible build?

idk if the 3060 will fit my case though

[keen nacelle]

should

pcp checks for compatibility

[open mantle]

oh automatically? that is cool

one bad thing abt being Canadian

$988.60

Random question, but does anyone know what the differences are between the xtx and xtxh chips in these aib 6900xts that I'm looking at? I see them every now and then and it makes me curious

[livid idol]

Yes because it's similar to ethash but t-rex has it at 99-100% anyway. It might dip below if you have a bad OC or something.

[ivory herald]

Xtxh is just an expensive binned gpu & mem clock is the same, approx 10% higher boost clock. Bottom 1 is the xtxh of course. Sometimes could be had for $1400-1600 actually. Comparable to 3090 perhaps.

[muted slate]

So would an xtxh be worth 100-200 more if I was just planning on gaming on my gpu? (I don't even know how to overclock because I've never owned a gaming pc before)
Or should I pass on it and just take whatever I can get?

[ivory herald]

Only get if was for some reason similar price to non-xtxh. Imo it's getting to be a bad time to spend too much on a gpu when 6000/30 has been out a while and next gen is later this year.extra drops a possibility.

[muted slate]

True
Thanks for the advice bro

[velvet grail]

How much does low data rate (2400mhz), single Channel, 16Rx8, CL22 RAM affect Vega1q integrated graphics?

Compared to a good memory?
(3200mhz, 1Rx8, CL16)

[livid idol]

A lot

Since those integrated graphics need to share the system memory

[velvet grail]

Ok

Kind of noticed that when playing games with the iGPU

Framerates are much worse than the ones shown in benchmark videos

[charred raft]

If u going for an amd gpu use amd.com they restock every Thursday morning at 9am CST

Then u can get a reference model for msrp

[keen nacelle]

Probably speed of ram

[cosmic salmon]

Hi Guys I am looking at getting the Lian-Li Strimer cables for my GPU which cables is it? I have a 3070. Or does anyone know of a good place to get modded cables

[livid idol]

They're the PCIe 6+2 (8 pin) cables

[cosmic salmon]

thanks

[pure isle]

Mr Canadian, you can find one on Evga for good prices

[hot folio]

Lmao I found my old gigabyte 2070

[heady turtle]

foundd

[hot folio]

I misplaced it’s box somewhere

[heady turtle]

did you just have it in a cupboard 💀

[hot folio]

…maybe

[heady turtle]

man you could have sold that for 500$

[hot folio]

It’s a broken 2070

[heady turtle]

ohh

could have rmad it then sold it for 500 lol

[hot folio]

I’ve RMAed it 7 times

Still not fixed

[heady turtle]

WHAT

[hot folio]

Gotta love gigabyte

[heady turtle]

should have just demanded a refund at that point

[hot folio]

It only started artifacting a year after buying so not much I could do

[rustic pulsar]

is the warrenty not longer than 1 yr?

[hot folio]

4 year warranty but like I won’t get a refund

[heady turtle]

gigabyte have a 4 year warranty......

[heady turtle]

they would have to if it keeps just dying or at least a replacement

[rustic pulsar]

so u cant send it in a nget a new card???

[keen nacelle]

could also just sell it as broken or for parts for like 150

[hot folio]

They said no when I asked about that

[hot folio]

Not a bad idea

[rustic pulsar]

but... then what does the warrenty do

[hot folio]

RMA

And that’s about it

[rustic pulsar]

but u said rma didnt work

[hot folio]

Exactly

[rustic pulsar]

so gigabyte is lying sue their ass lmao

[keen nacelle]

lol

[hot folio]

Should’ve but taking them to small claims court would be more money than it’s worth

Actually a nice looking card

Cute how small it is compared to my 3080

[heady turtle]

Mayhaps should have been more pushy because they clearly couldn't fix it and it was not in a useable state

I guess you could sell for parts on ebay or something

Or try rma again

Just cost gigabyte a fortune in rmaing it and mail

[magic wing]

LOL

[hot folio]

They got so annoyed they’re taking a year and a half now to approve the 8th attempt

[heady turtle]

Oof probably got ignored... Cancel and re apply it

[hot folio]

Out of warranty and I don’t really care that much at this point

I’ve had this GPU since release of the OG 20 series

[heady turtle]

Still

Should be in warranty

4 years?

[hot folio]

Just checked back then it was a 3 year warranty

[heady turtle]

Damm

[normal hawk]

Dang

[hoary sun]

any decent 2tb ssd deal ?

m2 and gen4 preferred

[ivory herald]

Was the $220 S70, but glance at the sn770 for 1 example https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QV5KJHV
