You have to memorise the entire text and then analyse it in an exam

it's basically like a 6850xt

i'm watching gamers nexus, all 10% boost apperantly for the same price as a 6800xt rn
i'm surprised it isn't as strong as a 6900xt

what about the 7700 xt

happy bday <@654444344274845698>
Ty
manic cloak
what about the 7700 xt
waiting to watch
primal linden
k
manic cloak
tbh
I might buy a 6950xt
the 7800xt has newer things blah blah, more power efficient, just it's performance kinda sucks ngl
6800xt beating it in some games is crazy
for a predecessor
primal linden
6800 might work for me but idk
manic cloak
4060ti:
fr, I think it's AMD trying to compete with nivida at this point
for 100$ more, 4060ti gets BLOWN out by the 7800xt
primal linden
true
earnest olive
it's intriguing to me that AMD is getting more negative attention than NVIDIA when NVIDIA did the same thing but worse
primal linden
what did they do
strong raft
Where's the $1600 7950 XTXXHX
earnest olive
7800xt: struggles to beat and sometimes loses to its predecessor, but with $150 lower msrp
4060ti: struggles to beat and sometimes loses to its predecessor, but with $0-100 higher msrp
primal linden
crazy
manic cloak
7800xt: struggles to beat and sometimes loses to its predecessor, but with $150 ...
this is original msrp too
earnest olive
honestly i think nobody would be complaining if the 7800xt was called a 7700xt and launched at the exact same $499 price lol
manic cloak
but people ignore the fact that a year ago today
we were at the end of the mining era
earnest olive
amd and nvidia are both just doing some really dumb naming this gen
manic cloak
where the cards for 1000+ were dropping to what we have
manic cloak
amd and nvidia are both just doing some really dumb naming this gen
fr, and the navi stuff?
like.. makes no sense
it's mainly 1-7 fps difference too between the 7800xt and 6800xt
little osprey
I kinda want a 7700 XT, still waiting on the word though for how it performs
Seems like a nice pair with my 13600K for 1440p
earnest olive
i don't see a reason for there to be 3 cards named 7900 with a huge performance difference between them
and then a 7800xt that's a sidegrade of the 6800xt
manic cloak
and then a 7800xt that's a sidegrade of the 6800xt
6800xt just shaved*
earnest olive
why not name the 7900xtx the 7900xt, the 7900xt the 7900, the 7900 gre the 7800xt, and the 7800xt the 7700xt? then everyone's happy
6900xt was already $1000 last gen
and 6700xt was $479
primal linden
I kinda want a 7700 XT, still waiting on the word though for how it performs
same
little osprey
6950 XT for $600 is still pretty hard to beat if you wanna compare the most recent card prices
earnest olive
a $20 bump to the 7-tier card for a good performance boost? people would be happy lol
they just screwed it up by naming it 7800xt for who knows what reason
the prices don't even need to change at all, just the naming
that's why their decisions truly boggle my mind
little osprey
How much is 7700 XT MSRP again?
earnest olive
on nvidia's side it's obviously just greed
on amd's side it appears to be... marketing team incompetence?
primal linden
How much is 7700 XT MSRP again?
$450
little osprey
Hm, not too bad
Granted I haven’t seen the benchmarks yet, I’ll check them after work
primal linden
RX 0 Prime
earnest olive
like, am i wrong about this?
primal linden
not really
earnest olive
would anyone be reasonably complaining about a $20 bump for the 7700xt to match the 6800xt
that's just an inflation adjustment
considering nvidia is charging $600 for their 4070
people would be celebrating it lol
just seems like a fumbled bag to me
earnest olive
literally keep the same products at the same prices and change the naming and suddenly your product line is way more successful
strong raft
Complainers gotta complain
little osprey
Buy more to save more
earnest olive
i mean yeah people are still complain no matter what
but it'll be dramatically less
strong raft
Companies sure could always do better naming indeed. 7800XT sales alone probably will suffer plenty for it.
earnest olive
it's just so frustrating to me because changing nothing but the name would make the perception so much better lol
like come on AMD you were so close
manic cloak
rename 7700xt to 7700
they could scrap the whole 7800xt and delay it lmao
earnest olive
why?
manic cloak
"1/1 7800xt card!!"
earnest olive
it's a good product if all they do is rename it
it's still a good product as is but they set peoples' expectations wrong
manic cloak
it's a good product if all they do is rename it
they'd have to recall cards, take it down from websites and etc
otherwise you got ppl who have 7800xt's performing like 7700xt's
earnest olive
i mean obviously i'm talking about having made this decision much earlier
earnest olive
idk being on the radeon marketing team must be the easiest job ever
you can do whatever you want

is the 5600x3d really that expensive? maybe you should just buy a used 5800x3d

not bad then

16gb of ram only tho
primal linden
should I get the 6700 xt or do the extra for the 6800
earnest olive
could always just swap the ram and sell old kit
or add another 2x8 and hope you win the 4 dimm lottery
at only 3200 it'll probably be fine
earnest olive
might as well wait for the 7700xt
primal linden
they made the gigabyte one look cool
primal linden
might as well wait for the 7700xt
ehhh
earnest olive
(i meant the 7800xt)
used 6900xt/6950xt is an option at this price point
i got offered some for 475
no tax on hws
might want beefier psu for that

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NyFQZJ
I'd swap the psu

i like it
mossy venture
Could also go 670p on ssd, doesn't really matter either way
earnest olive
atp i feel like 2tb is cheap enough and games are big enough that 2tb is always worth it
unless you know you're going to be playing few games
it's kinda like a 16gb vs 32gb ram situation now
mossy venture
Yeah that's fair, 2tb is consistently $65
earnest olive
16gb might be fine but 32gb is so cheap you might as well usually
mossy venture
Especially ddr5
earnest olive
well 16gb ddr5 is just not fine
mossy venture
Because 8gb sticks suck and single channel is single channel
earnest olive
mossy venture
Yes
primal linden
i will take all thoughts into consideration
obsidian wolf
i saw psu
talk and 6950xt in same line of text
I myself, I am running a 6950xt with a 650w psu
and haven't had an issue so far
mossy venture
What model?
Also yeah that checks out, but generally I would go for a B or A tier 750w-850w unless you already own an A tier 650w, just because it's normally at most a $10 difference for peace of mind
mossy venture

It's in white too for same price if you'd prefer that

i hope by the time i build the 6800's price will drop

yeah i figured
teal dome
also imma wait until november to get pc parts cuz of deals
obsidian wigeon
6800's price is already at its lowest ngl

do you think its worth

honestly i wanna get it as soon as possible but idk

up to you really, there's probably good deals in november

i hope by the time i build the 6800's price will drop

Can someone explain to me what’s the difference between AMD and Intel?
they both have cpu and gpu
amd is good for budget

it's.. it depends really

What’s AMD best used for?
primal linden
price to performance

What’s AMD best used for?
gaming
primal linden

obsidian wigeon
they're just two different companies making cpus and gpus

How about intel?
obsidian wigeon
the thing is, going intel or amd doesn't matter
primal linden
both brands are used for everything
primal linden
the thing is, going intel or amd doesn't matter
yeah
obsidian wigeon
it depends on your workload, use case and prices of the current situation
intel can be good, amd can be good
teal dome
it depends on your budget and how you use the pc for
obsidian wigeon
it all comes down to you
primal linden
but both of them are really good either way
obsidian wigeon
they just have their own strengths in certain ways
for gaming i'd lean to amd because cheap boards with ddr5 tbh

yep
obsidian wigeon
at least right now

at least right now
whats best for budget ddr4 or ddr5
obsidian wigeon
it's up to your budget

that was a dumb question

couldnt you buy ddr5 later on

Unless that's 7-800 to spend on a platform upgrade, yeah
Nope you'd need a new motherboard too
obsidian wigeon
you could, but you will need to buy a new cpu, board and a kit of ram

thats crazy

if you're hopping from am4
if intel just board and ram

amd rx 6800 xt that appparently artifacts when watching youtube for 280
mossy venture
That could be as simple as a repaste issue, or it could be dying vram chips
Or it could be not even the gpu if they didn't test it in another pc lol
Or with a diff monitor/cable
primal linden
if its fixable its pretty good

@mossy venture 200 for 6700xt?
mossy venture
Very nice
teal dome
aight
mossy venture
Just again, gotta verify it works
teal dome
i might buy it and buy the rest n november
mossy venture
And is in fine condition
teal dome
And is in fine condition
they said its fine and the pins look fine to me
mossy venture
As long as you have a pc you can test it in when you buy it
If possibly before it
The pcie connector isn't the only thing that could be wrong
teal dome
As long as you have a pc you can test it in when you buy it

@mossy venture the seller said she can send a video of it working and can probably drop it off

Imo I would never buy something used that I cannot test myself
But that's up to you

Hmm
I can prob ask my friend to test it

What’s a good average GBS of ram is good for gaming and multitasking?
32 should be ok?

32 should be ok?
Ye

Ok thanks I’m helping out a friend that’s y
Dose it matter the brand of ram sticks?
south cliff
Dose it matter the brand of ram sticks?
whats the mghz and what are the timings
little osprey
Other stuff matters
WhT do u mean
primal linden
Your other components also matter
mossy venture
Well
The ram speed and timings mainly
But if you lmk what cpu you're using and a budget I could find you a good kit
Also the country you're in

I had to get my Grandma's Phenom II computer running to test my first 970
With a new PSU since that thing would not power such a card
potent portal
With a new PSU since that thing would not power such a card
Not with that attitude. If it's not smoking it's not working hard enough.
For best results, use adapters to convert molex > SATA > 6 pin PCIe > 8 pin PCIe

If I really wanted to can I cut a rgb cable coming from a fan?
obsidian wigeon
I wouldn't suggest you to do that
Just hide it somewhere, leave it unconnected
Or buy fans without rgb
wary tundra
since I dont have io shield installed I just pushed them out of the case because it looks funny
wary tundra
hmm well I dont lol
Its my backup pc I built today but I have to order more fractal design fans, im using the deepcool ones I had laying around
potent portal
you should have io shield on, it's necessary
I don't have one either, MSI didn't include it when I got my board replaced with another model
obsidian wigeon
huh
well shucks
i mean it's not damaging to have no io shield, other than being dust and bug magnet
potent portal
That homemade Ethernet cable is triggering me, too much outside the jacket 
wary tundra
yea I also have it on the floor so its going to be realyl dusty
obsidian wigeon
you can buy io shields if you want
wary tundra
also didnt have fan screws so I used bed frame screws to hold it in
obsidian wigeon
damn this whole build is cursed

jank 100
wary tundra
its very clean other than tiny silly things
I removed the ugly red cable for a black one but I did okay on cable management
little osprey
@mossy venture looking at a amd
potent portal
That's ok every build needs a little bit of jank. I've got a fan dangling by twist ties.
wary tundra
I was going to do zip ties but I lost them all
potent portal
It's the jank that makes it uniquely yours. Anyone can do a cookie cutter build. Problem solving is what makes it special.
(There's a limit though)

Need a budget
mossy venture
Can someone help me build a perfect gaming Pc with AMD with 32gbs ram?
budget, country, do you need monitor/keeb/mouse in budget, do you care about aesthetics and do you need wifi
little osprey
The usual ☝️
little osprey
Is this a good build? Can I input my specs?
mossy venture
sure
mossy venture
24gb wouldn't really be better than 16gb, because above 16gb it would run in single channel
but one sec
teal dome
but one sec
Ok
little osprey
NZXT case, Corsair fans, 5600X, 6600, possibly mixed RAM, and an unnecessary amount of storage
mossy venture
what a similar build would cost buying used parts separately https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XyTXPF
teal dome
So like yes or naw?
mossy venture
imo no, but there's definitely worse deals
teal dome
Maybe I can switch out the gpu for 6700xt
teal dome
imo no, but there's definitely worse deals
Alright thanks
I can prob talk down the price?
teal dome
Aight
obsidian wigeon
personally i wouldn't really bother
teal dome
I gotta check the motherboard and psu
teal dome

For 600 that looks ok-ish
If you value the storage that is
Weighty side for used tho

How good is the 7700xt?
storm arrow
Which 7000 chipset runs call of duty the best
cyan ravine
Which 7000 chipset runs call of duty the best
???
Oh wait
I understand the question
They all run call of duty exactly the same because it has zero relationship
cyan ravine
How good is the 7700xt?
It was looking better on paper but honestly the 7800xt and 6800XT look better imo for that little more rn
potent portal
How good is the 7700xt?
It's fine, but it's worth the extra $50 to get the 7800 XT instead.
Or, I would say that if there was any stock of it left. The 6800 XT is a good move still.
cyan ravine
Yeah either or
7800XT is basically the same, but you would get new gen features and 2 more years of active drivers
storm arrow
Omg i meant gpu lol
cyan ravine
Which 7000 chipset runs call of duty the best
7900 XTX
potent portal
That's an easy answer, the top gpu model lol
cyan ravine
But you should weigh up your whole budget first
storm arrow
No budget
cyan ravine
Then answer doesn't change
storm arrow
Okay
storm arrow
Wait 4090 slower in COD than 7900XTX?
That's what I was wondering idk
little osprey
I’d much rather see the card’s performance rather than it just spinning
lyric thistle
spinny tho
little osprey
It’s possible it powers on but doesn’t post
It’s a gamble if there isn’t anything showing it’s functioning properly
mossy venture
^
potent portal
Wait 4090 slower in COD than 7900XTX?
They asked specifically for an AMD recommendation
The 4090 is still just bad value unless you're planning on 4k ultra rt
manic cloak
Any good?
@potent portal isn’t the 6800xt > 7800xt though?
Cause it’s mainly 1-7 fps difference
fleet heron
potent portal
<@396513761550270464> isn’t the 6800xt > 7800xt though?
They're basically within margin of error but the 7800 XT gets newer tech like AV1 and better Ray tracing

What's the performance difference between a strix OC 3080 and a strix OC 4080?
mossy venture
Strix is maybe 3% better than a non strix average model, so there's no point in specifying strix.
Isn't strix 4080 over a non strix 4090 price?
This is laughable lol https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TK6p99/asus-rog-strix-gaming-oc-geforce-rtx-4080-16-gb-video-card-rog-strix-rtx4080-o16g-gaming
limber oyster
I'm debating 4080/4090/7900xtx
I have the strix 3080rn
I'm also planning to go dual 4k 144hz, not sure if that changes things
little osprey
I'm also planning to go dual 4k 144hz, not sure if that changes things
I'd prolly wait for the next gen
5090 looking good from the leaks
strong raft
4080 isn't a big enough upgrade tbh & 40 series price needs to drop.
little osprey
and when it drops the 4090 should have a price drop
limber oyster
Idk, when I got the 3080 it was $1500 and it's still like 1200
Nvidia doesn't like cutting prices apparently
mossy venture
I'm also planning to go dual 4k 144hz, not sure if that changes things
4090 Non strix or xtx
limber oyster
What brand 4090 or 7900xtx would you recommend?
strong raft
Perhaps the TUF. I understand prices might be interesting if you're not in the USA
limber oyster
Texas, about two hours south of microcenter
And I'll be making between $4-5k a month so...
Ill probably wait till black Friday too
mossy venture
The cheapest one.
little osprey
Well
Looked at the reviews
7700 XT seems pretty okat for the price
Not great with generational performance increase, but definately not as bad as 7800 XT
Dunno which one to pick though for 1440p
strong raft
Neither. 
teal dome
I’d much rather see the card’s performance rather than it just spinning
How do I tell them how to check it
teal dome
It’s a gamble if there isn’t anything showing it’s functioning properly
It’s shows they send a picture of the desktop

4090 is a definite if that's what your planning on doing. Model doesn't matter. All are overbuilt.

What's the performance difference between a strix OC 3080 and a strix OC 4080?
https://www.3dmark.com/spy/40395927 here's my 4080 tuf flashed to strix bios
44.7% lead over my 600W strix 3090
at like 370W
really shows the weakness of samsung 8nm
ah yes the perfect card for your sister's roblox rtx
then get one 💀
they're like $10

What would be a decent upgrade from my 5700G on a $200-300 budget that isn't x3D because that is going to hurt my productivity apps performance?
plucky timber

I am in mexico so I can only use amazon.com.mx and I can pick up a 5800x for $215
plucky timber
I am in mexico so I can only use amazon.com.mx and I can pick up a 5800x for $21...
5800x isn't that much better
gentle pollen
Around 25-30% increase from what I saw.
gentle pollen
Yeah fair.
plucky timber
I'm sure you could get something way better of you saved up a bit more
gentle pollen
When was the expected release of 8000 series ryzen? I forgot.
plucky timber
According to this the 5800x is slightly better
But I wouldn't pay $215 for that little perf gain
Intel might be a decent option if you need multi core
plucky timber
13600k would be a pretty decent upgrade
But you would also need a new motherboard and ram
gentle pollen
Aren't there DDR4 boards?
gentle pollen
13600k would be a pretty decent upgrade
13600K is $330 in mexico before board.
gentle pollen
Yeah Mexico has stupid tech prices due to taxes.
They charge around 20% import tax that is the product + shipping.
plucky timber
Ouch
gentle pollen
Ooof, seems I need to tune my ram a bit later.
Been getting the occasional crash on idle.

Another question
teal dome
@mossy venture so I’m thinking on buying the gpu for 200 but I’m still waiting on you if I should buy
They sent a video of the graphic card spinning and also the desktop of the pc
mossy venture
I'd request a video of it being used in a benchmark, but its ultimately up to you
mossy venture
im not seeing the watermark anymore
Then W
teal dome
teal dome

Tell me how should I tell them to do that
mossy venture
Or just in a game maybe
Just say something along the lines of "would you be willing to send a video of it in the pc and running a benchmark or a game?"
teal dome
Ok I asked
teal dome
still says i need to activate windows
Then activate it lmao
mossy venture
Have you owned a windows 7 or higher device before
If so, login to the Microsoft account you use previously and the license will transfer

@mossy venture what’s a good budget build for 6700xt that doesn’t bottleneck too hard
Sorry for pinging you so much
mossy venture
months ago andonly just added the extra hdd
Eh, if the watermarks gone then be happy I wouldn't overthink it too much
mossy venture
Sorry for pinging you so much
Dw about it, and one sec
teal dome
im not seeing the watermark anymore
Check if you can change background and allat#
teal dome
Dw about it, and one sec
With a monitor
mossy venture
Could go 1tb on ssd if you want it to be cheaper
Also could go 1440p on monitor
And then if you want to spend more, 7600 would be the next step up imo
teal dome
I only need 1tb
And the monitor I need as cheap as possible lol I don’t wanna spend too much

Its the difference between a 3060 ti and 3070, 2080 ti is better
2080s around 3060 ti perf
