Well yea

spare wave
#

is that modular?

tame tree
#

I have an i7 9700k and a 1660ti and plan to upgrade to a 5700xt next year

spare wave
#

I recommend getting a fully modular

tame tree
#

Well obv you’d recommend modular but it’s more expensive

spare wave
#

shouldn't be too much more expensive

#

at least go semi modular

fickle elbow
#

you don't need modular if you're on a budget

tame tree
#

This for 63

#

Because of 15 percent off then tax

#

So basically 58

#

What y’all think?

acoustic lagoon
#

If you have a case with a PSU cover, them it doesn't really matter if you have modular or not cuz you can just hide the cables anyway unless your drive cage is down there too, but it shouldn't interfere much if you have non-modular.

tame tree
#

Idc about rgb but it’s 600w and semi modular

#

For 63

acoustic lagoon
#

Idk that brand

tame tree
#

Idc about rgb lol just tryna save money

acoustic lagoon
#

But look at the ratings

charred frost
#

This for 63
@tame tree look at the ratings

grim talon
#

@tame tree that is a scary power supply

#

i dont trust it

tame tree
#

I can’t find it in the tier list ngl

#

Dk if I’m blind

rotund finch
#

can a 1650 record in 1080p 60 fps?

whole lion
#

That would probably depend on the game

#

First step would be getting 60fps, and recording is more pressure on the cpu than the gpu

rotund finch
#

im not playing any too gpu intensive games

#

most of it goes to the cpu

whole lion
#

Then I don't see why not, as long as their not maxing out the cpu

rotund finch
#

ok

#

does the 1650 have shadowplay?

whole lion
#

Sorry, but no

tame tree
#

What’s shadow play

rotund finch
#

:[

#

how does the 1050 ti have shadowplay and the 1650 does not

whole lion
#

I'm not sure, but the 1650 doesn't get much respect, shadow play records while you play

rotund finch
#

damn

#

this makes me question whether the 1050 ti or the 1650 is better

tame tree
#

Which gets better frames

#

Also why don’t you get a 1660 or 1650 super

rotund finch
#

i believe the 1650 but i could be wrong

#

they cost more

#

right

tame tree
#

Well what’s your budget

#

1650 super is the minimum where you want to go

#

It’s like 20 more if I’m not wrong

rotund finch
#

like 800-900 im msotly gonna be playing cpu intesive gaming

tame tree
#

Lmao bro

rotund finch
#

so yeah im getting an i7-9700k

tame tree
#

With that budget you could a much better cpu

#

Gpu

#

I have the same budget and same cpu

#

With a 1660ti

rotund finch
#

rlly

tame tree
#

Bro why would you go for a 1650

rotund finch
#

idk

#

its cheap

tame tree
#

What country do you live in

rotund finch
#

us

#

usa

tame tree
#

If your budget is 800-900 you could squeeze in a 2060 or 5600xt

#

Probally not but my budget is like 800 and with everything it’s 860

#

But you said 900

rotund finch
#

and u have an i7-9700k

#

?

tame tree
#

Oh crap is that your budget including monitor

#

@rotund finch yea got it off microcenter

rotund finch
#

no

#

i already have a monitor

#

i just need a pc

tame tree
#

Bro don’t play yourself short and get a better gpu dawg

rotund finch
#

maybe

tame tree
#

1660 super or a 5600xt for a lil extra

frail wagon
#

Don’t buy a 1650

#

At the very least buy 1650 super

#

It’s like $15 more

tame tree
#

Bro I would’ve been okay with dudes 1650 but his budget supports at least a 1660 super

#

Or a 5600xt

frail wagon
#

I mean it’s up to him where he wants to spend his money

wise marsh
#

The msi rx 5600 xt is gonna be on a good sale on the 23rd

rotund finch
#

maybe i should just get a 1650 super

frail wagon
#

This is a bad time to buy a gpu regardless

fickle elbow
#

used to be able to do a 5700xt + r5 3600 for 900 but prolly can't now

tame tree
#

I should’ve waited until Black Friday for gpu but too bad lol

#

I’m gonna upgrade from 1660ti to 5700xt next year

frail wagon
#

Why?

tame tree
#

Probally gonna be cheaper too

rotund finch
#

yeah

frail wagon
#

There will be a better gpu then

rotund finch
#

cause of minig right?

tame tree
#

@frail wagon yeah well I’ll upgrade to whatever is in the 400 price range

#

Whatever is best in that price

rotund finch
#

like a 1080 is like 400 rn

#

wtf

wise marsh
tame tree
#

I only got my 1660ti a month ago but I’m gonna save up to upgrade to a better gp next year

fickle elbow
#

yeah don't buy a 1080 new

rotund finch
#

ok

tame tree
#

@rotund finch dude you do you with your money but if your budget is that high then why not get something better for the money

#

If the budget is 800-900 why not spend 50$ extra for something that’ll last a lot longer than a 1650 s

rotund finch
#

yeah

#

maybe ill get a 1660

tame tree
#

Why not the super tho

#

What’s your part list dude

rotund finch
#

whats the difference im new to tech

tame tree
#

Send me your parts

#

I’m new too bro but don’t pull the trigger if you don’t know

#

I’ve done lots of research and still didn’t make the best possible choice for the money

tame tree
#

So if your new don’t do anything without research

rotund finch
#

i did a lot of research

frail wagon
#

D15s is overkill for that cpu

tame tree
#

Ayo why is your ram so expensive

rotund finch
#

wdym

#

is that a lot?

tame tree
#

Yea

rotund finch
#

this si my first build

tame tree
#

Get a arctic freezer esports 34 duo

rotund finch
#

well its corsair vengeance

#

i heard its good

tame tree
#

Spend less of Cooke r

#

Cooler

frail wagon
#

G.skill is better

fickle elbow
#

that is a terrible gaming list

frail wagon
#

Imo

rotund finch
#

yeah but my cpu will heat up a lot

wise marsh
#

Why such a high priced cpu but low graphics?

tame tree
#

Dude I have same cpu and I think I’ll be good for decent overclocking with a cheaper cooler

rotund finch
#

like what?

tame tree
#

Also I realized I got i7 9700k for 200 and you got it for more

rotund finch
#

i thought noctua was pretty good

#

no

#

im gonna get it from microcenter

frail wagon
#

Yeah noctua is great

tame tree
#

Oh

rotund finch
#

for 200

tame tree
#

Then why does it say 260

rotund finch
#

i cant change the shop

calm vigil
#

thoughts on a 23 dollar sleeved extension kit?

fickle elbow
#

could do like a r5 3600 (when it's prices back to normal) plus like a 3060ti whenever that comes out for arund 900

rotund finch
#

i just subtract it in the end

tame tree
#

Bro youd be better off at least getting the 1660 super

rotund finch
#

yeah ill get the 1660

tame tree
#

No

#

The 1660 super

#

It’s your choice

calm vigil
#

super bro

rotund finch
#

ok

tame tree
#

If you want to have a gpu last a few years longer

#

What games will you be playing

calm vigil
#

i believe it has faster clock speeds too

rotund finch
#

like valorant cod minecraft and rocket league

tame tree
#

Ayooo

rotund finch
#

and overwatch

tame tree
#

1650 would’ve gotten you nowhere on cod

calm vigil
#

ez job for a 1660 Super. and more AAA titles too

tame tree
#

Yea

calm vigil
#

but no MSFS for you

rotund finch
#

so like a 1660 super

tame tree
#

Yea

#

Orrrr

calm vigil
#

get a 1660 super

tame tree
#

5600xt

#

5600xt is better and for same price sometimes

calm vigil
#

or the rx 580 us around the same price and equivalent to a 1060

tame tree
#

The dude above said it’s gonna be 240

#

So get the 5600xt if you can

calm vigil
#

ive seen rx 580 prices around 175

#

usd

rotund finch
#

by radeon?

fickle elbow
#

if you have a 900 budget you can fit a 5700xt

tame tree
#

But search up how good it is for streaming

#

Rip I’m pairing a i7 9700k with a 1660ti

junior marsh
#

Why

calm vigil
#

what is the NVidia equvalent of an 8gb 5500XT

tame tree
#

At least I’d never have to upgrade my cpu

rotund finch
#

lol

#

im thinking ill get this and then ill upgrade my gpu around next christmas

tame tree
#

Got 1660ti for 250 and then i7 9700k for 200

fickle elbow
#

leo please that list you put earlier hurts my brain

calm vigil
#

ay i found a 5500XT at BB for 190 USD. should i sell my rx 580 and get it instead

rotund finch
#

sry

calm vigil
#

how is an rx580 worth more than a 5500 XT?

rotund finch
#

idk

calm vigil
#

to bestbuy at least

rotund finch
#

gpu prices are wonk

fresh cobalt
#

why would you upgrade to a gpu that's barely better

calm vigil
#

XFX 580 for 200 usd

tame tree
#

@calm vigil is what’s your budget homie

fickle elbow
#

cursed you would see such a tiny difference

fresh cobalt
#

^

fickle elbow
#

just wait and buy a better one down the line

calm vigil
#

sure

tame tree
#

Like a 5600xt

calm vigil
#

boutta sell a computer anyway so...

fresh cobalt
#

just wait till rx 6000 series

tame tree
#

How good and how expensive would a 5700xt be next year

rotund finch
#

but id have to reduce the budget of some of my other thins to squeeze a 1660 super

fresh cobalt
#

5700xt will probably be 350 next year

calm vigil
#

I need to purchase second hand as i cant afford new prices

fickle elbow
#

leo you're losing a lot of perf because you're prioritizing cpu over gpu

rotund finch
#

should i prioritze gpu over cpu?

fresh cobalt
#

i would prioritize cpu over gpu if you're doing cpu intensive stuff

#

or playing cpu intensive games only

rotund finch
#

im playing mostly cpu intensive games

calm vigil
#

if i sell my gpu and a computer i can get an ebay 5600

rotund finch
#

and a lot of work on editing and schoolwork

fickle elbow
fresh cobalt
#

and what's the cpu you were planning to get

rotund finch
#

a 3060 ti?

#

isnt that a bit overkill

#

?

fickle elbow
#

if it fits the budget no

tame tree
#

3060ti ain’t out yet

#

Lol

fickle elbow
#

well duh

fresh cobalt
#

3060Ti will be a great gpu once it's in stock lol

fickle elbow
#

worth the wait over a 1660s

fresh cobalt
#

isnt it supposed to = a 2080

calm vigil
#

dood the XFX 5600XT is lit. literally

fickle elbow
#

something around that

#

we gotta wait and see

tame tree
#

Damn for 400 might have to cop

rotund finch
#

why not i just overclock a 1660 super?

fickle elbow
#

should be 400-450

tame tree
#

Why don’t they lower prices of the 20 series

calm vigil
#

or should i go team green again?

tame tree
#

If the 30 series is cheaper and better

fresh cobalt
#

imo if it has 8 gigs of vram and offers 2080 performance for 400 ill cop

#

they just stop production of the 20 series

cobalt viper
#

I want to try out team red

fresh cobalt
#

why would they keep manufacturing 20 series if 30 is out

calm vigil
#

actually im fine with my current gpu. plus prices still can come down soooooooo...steering wheel it is!

tame tree
#

You right

cobalt viper
#

Theyre not tho

#

I dont think

#

I thought they stopped production of 20 series

calm vigil
#

theyre not

tame tree
#

How good would the 6800 be next year

#

Amd^

bleak pike
#

@ripe mango can we get this channel pushed to be called “general-2”?

tame tree
#

How expensive

fickle elbow
#

lmao

fresh cobalt
#

i mean still decently expensive

tame tree
#

400?

#

500 for the rx 6800

#

I think

calm vigil
#

is the Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 spider a good budget steering wheel and pedal set?

fresh cobalt
#

RTX cards (besides the highest end ones) have held their value insanely well

bleak pike
#

@calm vigil can’t tell you, but I have the TMX Pro. I enjoy it

tame tree
#

I have 1660ti and haven’t built it yet but I opened the box so can’t really return it without them lowering the refund price

fresh cobalt
#

like 350 for an 2060 on launch but now it's still 320 on retailers

tame tree
#

Would a 5700xt next year this time be worth it ?

ripe mango
#

@ripe mango can we get this channel pushed to be called “general-2”?
@bleak pike cant

bleak pike
#

Darn :(

calm vigil
#

@bleak pike i think its a weeeee bit expensive for me

tame tree
#

Or would I be better off buying a 3060 ti next year

calm vigil
#

😦

ripe mango
#

this is demonmit house

bleak pike
#

Ah I see

ripe mango
#

tech deals must live

fresh cobalt
#

i mean if the 3060Ti is the same price as a 5700xt then go for the 3060Ti

tame tree
#

How much power would a 3060 ti need

#

That’s all that matter

#

If I pair it up with a 600w with an i7 9700k

#

Would that be good?

#

@fresh cobalt

calm vigil
#

budget is only around 100 USD

bleak pike
#

I haven’t been keeping up with the wheels lately, but if you asked me, just make sure the wheel has force feedback @calm vigil

#

You won’t get anything good for $100

fresh cobalt
#

id say 650 is best for that

tame tree
#

Damn

fresh cobalt
#

but you can try a 600

#

lol

tame tree
#

Someone down to find me a 650w power supply for like 60 😂

fresh cobalt
#

kinda vague bc theres a lot of different quality 600w psus

tame tree
#

Every single one I pull up is called a bomb

fresh cobalt
#

pretty sure you can get a 750 for 75$ somewhere

#

more future proof

bleak pike
#

3060 Ti?

tame tree
#

Well idk if I’ll be upgrading after awhile next year

#

Apparently it’s coming out in January I think

bleak pike
#

But Ti?

fresh cobalt
#

yes the Ti is coming before the 3060

fickle elbow
#

according to some leaked chinese preorders

fresh cobalt
#

^

bleak pike
#

What the heck

#

Nvidia wyd

calm vigil
#

the ferrari 458 spider wheel doesnt have force feedback, but thats fine

fresh cobalt
#

also you can get 700w psus for like 70 bucks

#

not sure how good they hold up tho lol

calm vigil
#

dont care bout FF rn

bleak pike
#

You might regret it @calm vigil

#

And then you’ll end up spending another $200+ for a wheel that has FF

calm vigil
#

im a budget gamer

bleak pike
#

Ah I see

#

Understandable

calm vigil
#

so being able to feel isnt a high priority

#

found a different one that has dual ff motors

#

for 90 usd and theres like 4.5 starrz

bleak pike
#

Might wanna go with that one if you’re comfortable with it

ripe mango
#

that a lot of tech deals

calm vigil
#

wierd asf shifter

bleak pike
#

I’ve never heard of that one. Careful with it

calm vigil
#

the thrust master one is more trustworthy i feel. the other seems to be more quantity over quality.

#

gonna watch a review 🙂

#

says it feels flimsy...uh oh

#

poorly made paddles...

#

cheap shifter knob

#

i think ill just go with the thrustmaster's metal paddles

#

yeah im just gonna go with teh TM

#

yeah TM is better anyway. metal paddles instead of plastic ones too

grim talon
frail wagon
#

No wonder it’s on sale

hollow prawn
#

@grim talon that case is a disgrace

#

It stains the name of the Coolermaster H500

grim talon
#

ik its not a good case

hollow prawn
#

No

#

The naming

grim talon
#

oh

#

yeah

hollow prawn
#

It hurts the rep of the Coolermaster H500

Which is a great case

tame tree
#

It what situation would I need fan splitters

hollow prawn
#

@tame tree too many fans not enough headers

tame tree
#

Oh

#

@hollow prawn so basically 4 fan headers=4 fans

hollow prawn
#

Mhm, except with you can use splitters for each header when you need moar.

tame tree
#

Damn

#

I bought an extra fan and I don’t feel like buying a splitter

hollow prawn
#

What board

tame tree
#

So if temps are bad I’ll go do order one

hollow prawn
#

What case?

tame tree
#

ASUS Z390 p prime

#

@hollow prawn

hollow prawn
#

Does it come with 3 front?

tame tree
#

Yes

covert crane
#

I was looking at that case last night so if u don’t have 4 headers u gonna need to buy a hub or splitter

tame tree
#

My motherboard does have 4 headers but I bought one extra fan for the top

covert crane
#

The fans are 4 female 3-pins

hollow prawn
#

Sheet won't load

#

Oof

#

@tame tree only 2 case fan headers, 1 cpu fan header, and 1 aio pump header.

tame tree
#

What

#

Wym

hollow prawn
#

That's what the Mobo sheet tells me about the z390-p

tame tree
#

Ong I’m about to cry

#

bro pc building mad stressful wtf

#

Lmao bruh

hollow prawn
#

Check manufacturer page lmao

tame tree
#

What’s aio pump

#

Linus uses exact same motherboard in a first person POV build

hollow prawn
#

Pump fan header

#

Physically the same as the rest of the fan headers, but bios recognises it differently

tame tree
#

But you can connect a fan to it

hollow prawn
#

Mhm

azure kraken
#

that overwatch case

#

if it didnt uh

#

have overwatch

#

the colors are nice

cloud sigil
#

Scrape it off with a knife, 140mm hole for a fan lmao

#

Still thoCringe

mighty jolt
#

Yeah I would be fine with that case if it didn't have all that overwatch stuff on it

rotund finch
#

do you guys think a fractal design meshify c needs an additional fan for my parts (intel i7-9700k, geforce 1650 super, also i have a cpu cooler already, noctua nh-d15)

tame tree
#

No 1650 super with your budget homie

#

Get a 1660s

#

Dude trust me

#

For a 900 computer you could get such a nice gpu

#

Like seriously

tardy lintel
#

wdym the 1660s and the 1650 super have pretty much the same performance

fickle elbow
#

yes but he is putting a 1650s in a 900 build which is not good

tardy lintel
#

a 5600xt would be a better choice for the money imo

#

its fine anyways

#

the GPU is what is replaced in the long term

#

I have a 1650S and I get 160fps+ in many comp games and ~80fps in cinematic games

frail wagon
pure lintel
#

decent deal

fresh cobalt
#

^ decent, but maybe black friday will give a better one

#

would be insane if we could pick up a decent looking 32 gigs for 100$

@tame tree it might be a bit late

I wish Nvidia wasn't so damn stingy with VRAM. Team red gives you a full 16GB of GDDR6 across the entire lineup.

wide trout
#

why does that upset you

#

lol

#

cold war came out today, it literally cant use more than 6gb of my 8gb

#

i would rather see a 6800 with 8gb of vram and a 100 dollar price reduction

fresh cobalt
#

^ agreed, i think productivity chips such as the Radeon VII/Titan/3090 should stay separate from consumer grade Nvidia/ RX/XT series chips

lone depot
#

The only reason they offering less vram is because it is more expensive vram

#

Gddr6x compared to team red’s regular gddr6

#

But we’ll see if faster vram makes that much of a difference once the benchmarks come out

fading ore
#

3070 is non-x

lone depot
#

It is

#

I was talking 3080 and 3090

#

Between 3070 and 6800, the 3070 looks more appealing

fading ore
#

i meant like, the 3070 is non-x and it still only has 8gb

#

well, if amd comes out with a lower tier graphics card they might actually have a 3070 competitor

#

although, i feel like if they did theyd want to cover as much real estate as possible so the most likely woudnt go with a small price jump

#

itèd be more of a 3060 competitor

lone depot
#

All they’d have to do is cut vram by half and drop a hundred on the price

fading ore
#

or that

plus you get 8 gigs of ram anyways

bruh tf are you saying

if you wanted 16 gigs and 1 tb ssd on an air it would cost you 1600+

omg

hollow wolf

calm down

fresh cobalt

it;'s soldered on

lol

#

do you not know that

hollow wolf
#

it's not

#

apple doesn't solder their parts for a reason

fresh cobalt
#

The MacBook Air models have soldered RAM and the RAM cannot be upgraded after purchase at all. However, it still can be useful to know which RAM upgrade options were available at the time of initial system purchase when buying a new or used MacBook Air.
Std. RAM: 2 GB

hollow wolf
#

??

fresh cobalt

im using a pro rn 🤦

hollow wolf

I've upgraded my pro and air many many times lol

it's only upgradable on the 16'' pro

all my teachers have a air from the 2010s do they get a discount on it or somethin

they probably buy them refurbished or smth

Anybody know of a decent laptop under $500? Definitely fine with refurbished/open box. Looking to use it for running work programs. Not using it for gaming so no graphics card is necessary. Also looking for a decent amount of storage so if there’s a second hdd slot or you can swap the HDD for an ssd or upgrade the ssd that would be great

@exotic swift was it ez to get 3080

And how much fps on val

no @sonic scaffold I paid $925 just lucky someone was selling one on discord but idk I get 240 on epic settings fortnite, 170 high on warzone, 900 in the loading screen (1440p btw)

Not bad

Why would you buy from a scalper smh I guess if you have the money but still

sonic scaffold

exotic swift

@lone depot he paid $907 , I offered 925 shipped.’its the FTW3 ultra which at 8% tax and shipping is right at 900

#

So he didn’t scalp, he just paid more than others did

#

Also it was brand new and he gave me codes

lone depot

I think 3080 would serve my needs Just rx 6800 xt might do it more even though I’ll probably play raytracing some/a lot

stuck sail
mighty jolt
#

I think it's good

torn token
#

@stuck sail i actually bought that monitor last month and from what I can tell you, the monitor is pretty bad and here's why I think so.

  1. the screen is too huge. 32 inches really took a hit at me and felt very weird having to to look up at the screen every single time.
  2. aspect ratio. because the aspect ratio is 16:9 and it is 32 inches, the monitor will feel "tall".
  3. A "non-famous" company. The reason I returned the monitor was because the monitor was actually a defect. It had some weird pixel saturation issues and some of the pixels were "stuck" to the VA panel. Once I returned it and received another one, the same issue occurred where the pixels won't register most of the time.
  4. It's a VA panel which means more chance of getting the screen messed up and more input lag when playing fps games.
  5. the design looks awful. The back of the monitor feels and looks very cheap and the monitor wobbles like crazy because the stand is cheap.

(P.S. these are just my reasons why the monitor is bad but if need something of those sorts then be my guest. Other than that good luck with your purchase)

mighty jolt
#

Based on that I wouldn't go for it

torn token
#

Trust me, I thought it was too good to be true and I was right. no wonder this company isn't recognized just saying

stuck sail
#

Thanks for your advice @torn token I was just checking it out. What monitors would you recommend?

Thanks for your advice @torn token I was just checking it out. What monitors would you recommend?
@stuck sail I would highly recommend the Gigabyte G27Q if you want a 2k, 27", 144hz, IPS panel, g-sync compatible monitor for around $300. if that's not what you are looking for then please tell me so I could recommend a more specific monitor of your likings

@last egret that's ok and all but the price is pretty daring

idk juist a decent laptop

torn token

yes ur correct

#

but i recommend waiting until black friday for some sweet deals

fossil moth

I think he wants an ultra wide

#

You do bring up a valid point but I did find only 1 review on Amazon and it was highly positive

torn token
#

i mean it never hurts to buy it and return it if u don't like it

fossil moth
#

Yeah

torn token
#

but if u need a monitor right away, then i would just get a monitor from a more reputable brand

#

i need to know ur budget, your resolution, type of panel (VA, IPS, TN), refresh rate, response time, screen size and ratio, and type of design (more boxy or more curved)@stuck sail. Oh yeah and make sure to tell me what feature you find most important to you and what you are planning to do with the monitor. (Sorry for the list but if u want me to find you the perfect monitor I need more info)

ive been looking for good deals on 144hz, 1ms, 1080p to 1440p, flat 27 inch monitors

torn token
#

@smoky moon the price is very good for the features it brings on the table but if you want better resolution and an IPS panel then i suggest the gigabyte g27q

thanks sogman

if it was like 50 or 100 above it'd probably sell out instantly

im going down to texas for thanksgiving and ill prob go to the microcenter there

lone depot
#

what price are you trying?

smoky moon
#

i already have a ryzen 5 3600 and rtx 2060 ko ultra so would it be worth it to return those and get some extra deals there

lone depot
#

don't return the 3600

#

no point

smoky moon
#

i have 450 dollars left and an rtx 2060 ko ultra, 3600, 16gb ram and a corsair psu

#

650w gold

lone depot
#

how much longer can you wait to return the 2060

#

waiting until early next year would be good for a 3060

smoky moon
#

uhm

#

ill check that later

hollow wolf
#

@lone depot there isn't another nvidia gpu probably coming out for a while

#

They can't risk losing sales on current cards

lone depot
#

what are you on

#

Ur better off returning the 2060 and ponying up for a 3070 @smoky moon

smoky moon

#

3060 is literally coming out jan 2021

hollow wolf
#

?? What source

#

Send a link

well im not sure if i can afford anything to match up with the 3070

hollow wolf
#

Nono

#

The ryzen 5 is perfect

smoky moon
#

oh

#

hm

hollow wolf
#

Best cpu to pair a 3070

#

3080 even

#

Well obvi not BEST for 3080

lone depot
#

3600 not really

smoky moon
#

how good are the deals gonna be at microcenter during black friday do you think

hollow wolf
#

Bruh shut up

lone depot
#

you have a slight bottleneck with the 3070

hollow wolf
#

Tf r u saying

smoky moon
#

id expect that

lone depot
#

bro its literally equivalent t oa 2080 ti

#

LULW

hollow wolf
#

These is no bottleneck

#

Ahhh

#

Stop telling liesssssss

smoky moon
#

tf

hollow wolf
#

@sonic vale help me here plz

#

There is virtually no bottleneck between the 3070 and 3600

sonic vale
#

3600?

#

depends

sonic scaffold
#

Theres always a bottleneck

hollow wolf
#

for gaming, it's barely anything

lone depot
#

on 1440p there isn't any like at all but on 1080p its gonna be decent

hollow wolf
#

Bruhh

sonic vale
#

you'll probably bottleneck at 1080p medium and below, but if you're buying a 3070 to game at 1080p medium and below i don't know what you're doing with your life

lone depot
#

its literally equivalent to a 2080 ti

#

ur trying to tell me a 3600 will run a 2080 ti with no bottleneck?

#

lol

hollow wolf
#

A 3600 and 2080 to would run fine first of all

#

Second of all

lone depot
#

"fine"

hollow wolf
#

There's more to calculating a bottleneck than just the performance

sonic vale
#

might be slight bottleneck at 1080p high/ultra but not terrible

#

it's a fine pair

smoky moon
#

if i buy a 3070 id probably have to upgrade my monitor and also have less money to spend elsewhere though

sonic vale
#

and if it's at 1440p then there shouldn't be any bottleneck

smoky moon
#

the monitor that i also dont have

lone depot
#

most competitive games where the extra fps would matter would need a 360hz monitor

hollow wolf
#

It's only 500$ compared to a 350-400 that a 3060 would be priced at

sonic vale
#

i am not sure why this conversation is being had in this channel though

smoky moon
#

but i picked out one thats 1080p 165hz

sonic vale
#

this is tech deals not build chat

lone depot
#

theres virtually no point to buying the 3070 over the 3060

smoky moon
#

true

@hollow wolf

hollow wolf

yes

let's say you need 32 gb of ram

2x16 is much much cheaper than 4x8

#

so you can just buy a 2x16 kit, and get a filler kit

save ~ 50$

because the price difference between 2x16 kits and 4x8 kits is insane
