#

is that radiator connected to the loop? :p

scenic heath Apr 5, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

Idk what that means😂😂😂

#

I’m assuming your gonna say no though

sudden turret Apr 5, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

I mean, what do you think a radiator is used for 🙂

#

but yeah, if you don't have a water loop in your system, you don't need a radiator 😄

scenic heath Apr 5, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

Ohh yea I see what you mean you taking about the clear tube water cooling

#

Ok thanks you this is why I love this discord it’s so fun and helpful lol 😝

sudden turret Apr 5, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

What case do you have? and how many fans already installed?

cold sorrel Apr 5, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

Isn't installing extra fans on top a pretty common thing?

scenic heath Apr 5, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

@sudden turret well I have a nzxt but I’m getting a Phanteks enthoo evolv x and I see I have some extra room for 3 fans up top so i said why not

sudden turret Apr 5, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

oh nice, make them exhaust the air out and you'l be good.

scenic heath Apr 5, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

That’s what I thought it would be good for haha thanks you!!

#

I ordered 1 Corsair ql 120

#

For the back fan now im gonna order 3 more

cold sorrel Apr 5, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

I wish I had room in the budget to buy some extra fans for mine. Guess that goes on the list as an upgrade down the line

scenic heath Apr 5, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

Lol I had my pc for a month and I’m already making some upgrades😂

I will make the case out of PVC

#

Yes, PVC, the stuff that pipes are made of

#

Hello?

#

Is anyone here?

buoyant flame Apr 5, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Your probably going to want to find a ssd if you want bearable usability

#

Also psu seems sketchy

scenic heath Apr 5, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

If I have 2 Corsair LL120 mounted on my aio but I want the ql for my back fan and 3 exhaust fans

#

Would it be more clean if I get them all the same model?

humble rivet Apr 5, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

It probably wouldn't really matter, I have 2 Corsair ml fans in front and 2 nzxt aer fans in back (my case came with the nzxt ones) and you really cant tell a difference

scenic heath Apr 5, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

Yea I figured it was jus if I wanted it or not

#

But I really didn’t need it lol

warm nova Apr 5, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

the ql and ll fans will both work with icue so you can sync the RGB which is nice. they also use the same led's so the colors will match exactly unlike some other fans where the pinks might be a little more purple on one set or other colors just slightly off. QL's would work really well in the front of a case as intakes if you have a mesh or glass front panel since you could see the rgb on both sides. the LL's could then be used as exhaust so that the rgb faces towards the inside of the case.

round river Apr 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

I use Logitech G933 and my surround sound doesn’t work

#

It only comes from center channel

scenic heath Apr 5, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

@warm nova that does make sense but my front fans will be covered with the LL’s since I’m swapping cases and I already have that installed on the aio so might as well use the Ql’s for the exhaust and back fan

Can the b450 tomahawk max sapport a ryzen 3 3200g without a bios update?

Its not an inherently bad board, but theres much better

Make sure its the pro version and not the plus version

Ok

#

Do you have to do a bios update for the asus tuf b450 pro gaming?

i don’t think so

Ok

cold sorrel Apr 5, 2020, 8:34 PM

I'd love an answer to that fan question. I can't buy extra fans currently, but I'd appreciate recommendations for when I can

buoyant flame Apr 5, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

@gilded fog you do not need to bios update for the asus board

should I go full atx for a budget build?

buoyant flame Apr 5, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

Those two have no correlation

buoyant flame Apr 5, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

mATX boards tend to be the most budget friendly but there are exceptions

foggy hazel Apr 5, 2020, 9:24 PM

region also comes into play there, in a big way

#

as in, region availability

proud galleon Apr 5, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NWZVCL Planning to do a build like this (I already have PSU and Storage). I kind of want to think about lowering costs a little while maintaining the the RGB aesthetic I want. Should I just go with the 2060 or is the 2060 super really going to be worth it for the extra cash. I plan on running all kinds of triple A titles at 1080p High settings. Don't really care about upping my resolution atm.

#

I'm currently working with https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JWPtk6 and do alright on medium/sometimes low settings so I know i'll be making a large leap either way.

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

@proud galleon What's going to be the budget?

#

And are you planning on sticking with that same AIO?

proud galleon Apr 6, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

@stoic island Not really deadset on a budget, was looking to shave it down to maybe $1000 for the time being. I was planning to move to an NZXT 280mm AIO for aesthetic reasons (included fans with case are 140), and NZXT has a very nice AIO, but I am not against compromising on another 280mm AIO that comes with decent lighting.

#

That's the only reason I thought about taking the GPU down because I'm not as much as a graphics freak as I am an aesthetics freak.

#

Really thinking of experimenting with RTX but i'm not 100% against even dropping to a 1660 Ti.

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

Well, my thought is you would probably need a RTX2060 or better to make sure you have good enough performance to be able to play triple A games on high settings for the years to come

proud galleon Apr 6, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

Yeah I think my best bet is dropping to a 2060 but I'm almost thinking the super would be worth the extra investment. I'll see what time brings, this pandemic is giving me quite a few more hours at work who knows.

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

I assume you'll have some time to wait for parts?

#

Because the motherboard I would like to suggest is out of stock on Newegg, and the third party seller is asking for quite a bit above the usual price... https://www.newegg.com/asus-tuf-b450-pro-gaming/p/N82E16813119205/
Though amazon has a few in stock, amazon is going to take 10+ days to get it delivered due to the pandemic and all.

proud galleon Apr 6, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

Yeah I'm not too urgent about delivery. Definitely understanding with the pandemic. I also only have up to $600 saved atm for the build, so just about 2-3 weeks away from being where I need to be.

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

Alright I had to look at some benchmarks and stuff, but are you willing to switch to this AIO for a bit better performance?
https://www.newegg.com/corsair-icue-h115i-rgb-pro-xt-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835181191

#

That choice was for aesthetics, if you care a bit less about aesthetics, this is at similar performance at a fair bit cheaper.

@proud galleon What kind of aethestics are you going for with the build?

obsidian rock Apr 6, 2020, 12:38 AM

Damn you people put here getting 1660ti’s while RX 5600xt’s perform better and are cheaper where I live

Kinda shooting for something very similar to this.

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 12:39 AM

Huh

#

sooo

#

Fair bit of ring rgb

#

Sadly I think only NZXT makes those kinda cases

and most NZXT cases dont have good airflow

thats such an expensive case xd

celest horizon Apr 6, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

If you like the looks of a case - you can always reconfigure the fan setup.

#

Just decide if your aethetic preference is worth the cost/ effort.

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 12:47 AM

Forks, any ideas other than Meshify C?

viral ore Apr 6, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

I really wish people would just not want so much rgb..... lists would be so much easier to make

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 12:50 AM

And with GN reviews, x63 thermals are really close to x62, and h115i beats x62 thermals.

Hey guys, could you help me decide on if this build is good for future upgrades? I found it on Amazon while researching for parts.

It made it seem overall cheaper to buy a prebuilt then upgrade anything I may see fit, such as a wifi card.

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 2:01 AM

I don't like the looks of that for upgradability...

First, that isn't a great PSU, but it can work okay

Only 1 M.2 slot, which is okaay

#

then only 2 ram dimm slots, which is pretty bad for upgradability

#

The ram wouldn't really be the first thing he'd upgrade tho

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 2:02 AM

then, the mobo chipset is A320m, which makes it pretty bad for supporting newer higher end CPUs

If I were to change anything what'd be my first thing? Just to summarize the overview that you guys gave.

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

I had to go quickly take a peak at what kinda custom build you could build at that price, and it seems you can probably do better with building it yourself

maiden trench Apr 6, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

I am seeing Power supply and Ram

#

Oh ok?!

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 2:13 AM

For example, this is still not a great list, but I quickly made it for 555$ total

#

Well how about this build that I sketched up

#

Oh wait

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 2:13 AM

#

That prebuilt, I have many critiques for, and that being not a major retailer in terms of prebuits, I cant tell you how good their customer support and QA is, so I definally wouldn't recommend.

#

I gotta go for a bit

maiden trench Apr 6, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

That looks great with an ATX form factor, the build you sent me.

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

And for performance, heres the rx580 in my build vs the 1050ti in that build
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-AMD-RX-580/3649vs3923

UserBenchmark: AMD RX 580 vs Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti

Based on 903,971 user benchmarks for the AMD RX 580 and the Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti, we rank them both on effective speed and value for money against the best 635 GPUs.

#

also, the CPU in my build, I didn't specify, but it's meant to be 1600af, other ppl here can explain the difference, I really gotta go for a bit

maiden trench Apr 6, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

Oh I was actually curious about the RX580 vs the 1050

#

Oh okay

#

Wow, this blows that prebuilt away!
Definitely a great amount of research done.

#

I am most likely going to purchase that set of parts.

#

If I have any other concerns I will come back here.

@buoyant flame that's why I said it's not a good list, I'm out doing smth rn, can you edit the list to have like a silicon power a80 240g plus a 1tb HDD or smth?

my son is wanting a pc that can run red dead, gta, fortnite, csgo, etc

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 4:18 AM

Like I see 9900k, then I see 2060, that's pretty unbalanced imo for gaming

vague crystal Apr 6, 2020, 4:18 AM

ok.

#

3700x and 2070S?

umbral scaffold Apr 6, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

Budget 1.5k probably

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

Red dead and gta are gonna require some good hardware

umbral scaffold Apr 6, 2020, 4:19 AM

will 2070 run those games?

2070 super

You can easily get 3600+2070s at that price

well it's ez

Nah, 3600+2080s

tepid basalt Apr 6, 2020, 4:20 AM

since it's intel, you don't have to spend much on ram

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 4:20 AM

Ram for ryzen ain't much more

vague crystal Apr 6, 2020, 4:20 AM

intel cost more in the end

#

cause cooler

stoic island Apr 6, 2020, 4:20 AM

It's like 10$ more for the ram

but ok then i guess 3600 and 2080 super would be good

umbral scaffold Apr 6, 2020, 4:22 AM

would the 3600 be a bottleneck with the 2080s?

vague crystal Apr 6, 2020, 4:22 AM

not really

cursive wharf Apr 6, 2020, 4:22 AM

at that point you should be running at 1440p

Fun thing to learn about mobos, the tomahawk sucks

vague crystal Apr 6, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

yeah

#

heard about that

cursive wharf Apr 6, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

So I'd advised against recommending unless very specific use case tbh

vague crystal Apr 6, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

i have that card but the 2070S version, is the cooler any good? (the one in your list)

cursive wharf Apr 6, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

As for 750w PSU, I wouldn't go RM. If your PC takes 750w it'll be a dual GPU or HEDT computer. As such being like 3k+. The PSU cost should be proportional to the PC cost. So that you get those extra features such as really low voltage ripple, better load regulation, better transient response, multi railing, etc. I wouldn't recommend more then 650w for 99.99% of standard consumers

#

I usually keep the max PSU budget to 550w

#

as that can run a stock 3950x + stock 2080Ti

#

I didnt look at reviews of the card, but I havent heard of it being horrible. 99% chance that the EVGA you picked card is better tho

vague crystal Apr 6, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

ok

cursive wharf Apr 6, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

As EVGA has been doing quite well in the cheap side of cards

pulsar dew Apr 6, 2020, 5:58 AM

Curious what anyone would think about this as far as a server build. I already have the MB, RAM, and PSU from a previous upgrade which is why I'm going with that CPU. Thanks for any help!
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YHtCtp

cursive wharf Apr 6, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

PSU isnt that great. Missing OCP (over current protection) and UVP (under voltage protection). While it may be able to simulate OCP cuz it has OVP (over voltage protection) and OPP (over power protection) it cant in any way do UVP properly. So if something bad happens from a failing component, unexpected shutdowns from say blackouts (maybe not for this specific model, but an example), PSU just failing randomly, or something else then the PSU wont be able to protect your components from supplying too low of voltage which can easily damage them

#

Also for a server build I'd want the fans to last long without worrying much of them. The PSU fan is sleeve bearing which has usually the lowest lifespan for computer fan bearings

#

Also what kind of server? Afaik NASes dont really need that great of a CPU much of at all

pulsar dew Apr 6, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

Sorry the PSU is just a stand in because the one I have already I couldn't find on pcpartpicker. The one I have is 80+ gold so I'm not worried about that (but I appreciate you pointing it out).
And as far as what kind of server I don't really know much about setting them up so I don't know. I'm still doing research on that but basically I want it to be able to backup both my current PCs as well as being a place where I can store media files (I stream and do graphic design so I have a ton of videos and after effects files that take up a lot of space)

cursive wharf Apr 6, 2020, 8:08 AM

#

Just because it's 80+ gold doesnt mean it's good. Some 80+ bronze easily beat out some gold as there is quite a bit to PSUs (my little rant was on one small segment of them, protections) other then just efficiency.
If you stream then that CPU is I think good enough for encoding by itself. So meaning a single PC for playing games and one for streaming. Tho then again if your current hardware is already good enough (some high end CPU or 20 series Nvidia) then it's kinda a hassle to do for such minimal gains and you'd probably be best off with a cheaper CPU

@cursive wharf I get what you mean as far as the PSU. The one I have I'm not worried about though cause it's a good brand and everything. But for CPU the i5 9400 CPU that I went with was mostly because I already have the motherboard and that was one of the cheapest CPUs I could get that fit the MB that still had onboard graphics. That's why I had that one. I guess if I could get a CPU and MB combo for cheaper than this CPU it would maybe be worth it but I'd like to repurpose the parts that I already have where possible

cursive wharf Apr 6, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

cant get a 8100/9100 or whatever the i3 is? Also, never judge a PSU by brand because there isnt a PSU brand out there that doesnt sell bad PSUs

pulsar dew Apr 6, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

Totally fair. I definitely get that. And it’s an LGA1151 socket so at least on pcpartpicker that was the lowest compatible

Hi. I'm attempting to build a small temporary wood case for a laptop (mobo only) which I am using as a server.

#

So far it's gone fine, but I can't seem to find any screws that go into the motherboard's holes.

#

It seems normal desktop motherboard screws are slightly too large.

#

Any ideas?

little osprey Apr 6, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

Paperclips?

#

Didn't the Mobo come with screws?

marsh adder Apr 6, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

To hold a motherboard in??

#

I took it out of an old laptop years ago. I don't have the screws that it was using anymore.

Is this a good Mobo? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kRTzK8/msi-b450m-pro-vdh-max-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b450m-pro-vdh-max

What is the advantage of an m.2 over a hard drive or ssd? Other than speed?

wide sparrow Apr 7, 2020, 1:11 AM

Much faster

#

not limited by sata bandwidth

#

and its the smallest storage form factor

#

I'm so tired. Didn't read your whole comment

#

I'll say size

#

Latency is less I think compared to the other 2

tranquil dust Apr 7, 2020, 1:18 AM

that is a sata m2 drive

When they release you could probably find some cheapish 2080ti's

the 1080ti is such a good buy

I saw this cased with fans crammed in it once before

cursive wharf Apr 7, 2020, 10:16 AM

Putting in the max amount of fans usually causes turbulence and increases temps and noise. Also, with that amount of money you can get a 2080Ti if you didn't waste so much on everything else. And yes I know it's AUD

crap @woeful agate , those parts are way more expensive in CAD, and i had no idea

#

but, i did figure out how to switch to canada pcpp

Which mother board is better for upgrading, the msi b450 tomahawk max or the asus tuf b450 pro gaming

buoyant flame Apr 7, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

Pro gaming

cursive wharf Apr 7, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

@viral ore while it is possible to run that off a 550s PSU you generally shouldn't as 650w allows for OC and proportional speaking makes the PC barely anymore expensive. Also 3950x and only 16gb RAM?

viral ore Apr 7, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

16gb is enough for gaming, light editing and recording

#

And 550w is fine

cursive wharf Apr 7, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

550w is okay for stock, but literally only stock. No OC headroom, not really even a small one is available.

viral ore Apr 7, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

If he wanted to oc he would have said so

buoyant flame Apr 7, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

He didn't say if he wanted wifi or a specific form factor until you asked tho so...

viral ore Apr 7, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

considering that, he probably doesnt know what overclocking is

buoyant flame Apr 7, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

That is very probable 😂

viral ore Apr 7, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

i saw his budget, and said 2080ti, 3950x, and let the rest of the components fall into place

#

plus, the psu is white :poggers:

cursive wharf Apr 7, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

Looked back and it seemed like editing, not light editing

#

was said

viral ore Apr 7, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

i doubt hes working with 4k footage, lets be honest

#

i gathered that what he means by editing is like adobe photoshop

#

if he needs more ram, its a $120 cad change

cursive wharf Apr 7, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

Or save $100 and still get 650w and 32gb RAM

viral ore Apr 7, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

ok sure, tell him yourself

buoyant flame Apr 7, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

I mean heis list looks better imo

viral ore Apr 7, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

it performs better, sure

#

but it doesnt look better

#

well, i dont even know about performance tbh

#

its cheaper for a similar thing

cursive wharf Apr 7, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

The only "perf" or "quality" difference would be GPU. Venteus has a pretty poor cooler. I'd suggest FE over it

buoyant flame Apr 7, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

The only difference in looks is really the mobo and aio because the case has a psu shroud

a friend of mine offer me a deal

#

i7 8700 + b360m mortar titanium for $260

#

should I take it? 🤔

cursive wharf Apr 8, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

1600AF ($85) + okay b450 ($96) is less then $200 new

celest horizon Apr 8, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

See if he's open to selling just the cpu - if you're looking for that type of setup.

#

I would've advise picking up that board in 2020.

tepid basalt Apr 8, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

why tho?

#

i look up the board and it doesn't look too bad

#

just missing the wifi thingy if I'm willing to pay more for a 3600 + b450 gaming carbon

#

and an inferior sound chip

stoic island Apr 8, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

b450 gaming pro carbon ac is good for a b450 wifi board

deep skiff Apr 8, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

pro carbon is expensive

buoyant flame Apr 8, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Ya ^

tepid basalt Apr 8, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

yeah ik

stoic island Apr 8, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

it is expensive

#

but good

tepid basalt Apr 8, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

but the thing is I'm torn between those 2 deal

#

and I'm confused

#

i7 8700 is said to perform better than 3600

#

now I can get it for a lower price but also a worse mobo

humble rivet Apr 8, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Buy them both then sell the Mobo I guess

tepid basalt Apr 8, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

dang it

#

there is no b360 or 65 with wifi available

So if I were to want to make a comp that has the capacity of 64 GB of ram+, and can get CPU speeds of 4.5 Ghz, and has an amazing graphics card, what would i want to get?

cursive wharf Apr 8, 2020, 6:15 AM

#

Considering you want 64gb of RAM, I'd take it you're doing a workstation build? As such the hardware you want entirely depends on what workloads you do. Some workstation workloads still are better on Intel by a fair margin despite AMD having a considerate advantage in raw power, you might want a AMD or Nvidia GPU and may be able to get away with the standard gaming stuff from each contender, or you might need to get the professional stuff from one of them

i bought the G.SKILL Trident Z RGB (For AMD) by mistake, somehow i didn't see the word (for AMD)
so i'm wondering if it will works with intel cpu i9 9900k or should i buy the normal G.SKILL Trident Z RGB

deep skiff Apr 8, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

@raw stump the “for amd” is a marketing thing

#

it will be perfectly fine

eager chasm Apr 8, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

it's really more of meaning it's optimized for AMD, but really that hasn't mattered since first gen Ryzen when they were pickier about the dies on the sticks, even then suboptimal pairings still worked. but really in most cases any DDR4 modules will work on any platform.

woeful agate Apr 8, 2020, 4:06 PM

@viral ore thanks

#

just changed name lol

#

very good job!

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

ok, uhh, i think @cursive wharf had some suggestions for your build

#

ill start by asking exactly what type of editing and recording are you planning on doing with this machine?

#

@woeful agate

woeful agate Apr 8, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

ok

#

ill be recording at 1080p

#

and I don't really know how intensive my editing will be so I can't really answer that @viral ore

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

is it video editing?

woeful agate Apr 8, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

yes

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

i just wanted to double check the amount of ram you might need

#

do you know at what resolution?

woeful agate Apr 8, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

maybe 1080p

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

do you know what software you plan on using?

woeful agate Apr 8, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

uhhh

#

maybe shotcut

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

can someone help me with my frames problems im willing to venmo you

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:27 PM

we dont help for payment @unkempt ibex

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:28 PM

oh

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

and its against the rules here

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

im just very desperate haha

#

oh gotcha

#

Do you thin k you can help me?

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

@woeful agate if your using shotcut, the build i sent is fine. if you wanna play it safe and get more ram, then just get this build that some one else here made: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/V4GXdm

#

@unkempt ibex just ask, someone might help you

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:30 PM

ok

#

I have an rtx 2080 and i7 8700 and my frames are not that good

woeful agate Apr 8, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

ok thanks

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

@unkempt ibex did you install drivers for your GPU?

#

Is this a new issue?

#

did you change anything before this happened?

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

No so i bought a prebuilt about a year ago and i thinky for my rig it should be performing better

#

I can get you the link to it if you would like

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

that doesnt answer any of my questions...

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

ok

#

So its kinda a new issue like i used to get better frames but i have a friend with the same cpu but with trash Gpu and he gets stable 240 frames and i dont understand. I have been going on youtube videos that help you increase fps and performance

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

so its a new issue

buoyant flame Apr 8, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

Lol

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

sorta yes

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

you were getting good FPS, but now, suddenly, you arent?

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

No ive seen almost a downfall of fps on some games

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

was anything done to the machine at all before this happened?

#

like, a part swap or upgrade

#

software install

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

Might of i went into setting from youtube videos that would help fps

#

i might need to get new parts

#

do you want the link?

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

so you changed up some graphics settings, and now its performing worse because of it

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

i cant really tell that much, i dont even know how much they worked or didnt

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

i dont care what your pc is, if it was fine before, and you made a config change, then its a software issue

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

oh gotcha

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

heres what you do. Get DDU, ill link it shortly, run it, then go and install the latest graphics drivers for your PC

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

Ok

#

Have one more qustion

#

so this is DDU, it will remove all previous driver installations

#

run the application inside, its labeled DDU v18.0.2.3.exe

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

ok thanks

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

well, extract the .exe to your desktop first

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

how do i do that

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

open the .zip you downloaded

#

click and drag

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

there is no ddu

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

did that download work?

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

it just took me to a website with a bunch of links

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

aight hold on

#

this is DDU

📎 DDU_v18.0.2.3.exe

#

its a self extracting zip, it will extract it into a folder, and you can run the application inside

#

its labeled "Display Driver Uninstaller.exe"

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

i hit extract, where would i find it?

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

wherever the file downloaded to, the folder extracts

#

ideally, you would do this in safe mode, but thats too complicated

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

lmao im sos lost one sec

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

well, when you find it, you will run it
you will get a pop up, hit Yes
then you will get another pop up, hit ok
you will get another pop up, just hit close at the bottom
yet another pop up, hit ok.

#

📎 Capture.PNG

#

then select GPU from the drop down box

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

ok]

#

so im trying this again a pop up came up saying extract to, where should i do it to

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

just click extract

#

the default location is fine

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

ok so where do i go

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

idk, where did you download the file to??

#

go there

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

says like temp state

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

put the file you downloaded on the desktop

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

ok so i got the file on my tesktop

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

good now run it

#

and it will ask to extract

#

just click extract

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

do i just hit gpu then update?

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

you hit GPU then at the top the Clean and restart

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

ok and thats it?

viral ore Apr 8, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

then just dont touch anything

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

ok thanks so much

unkempt ibex Apr 8, 2020, 4:58 PM

#
