wait lemme read again xD
ye, do DP to HDMI>HDMI to ethernet to HDMI on tv2 as tv2 is 1080p so bandwidth isnt as high
@cursive wharf wait did you mean to use another extension cable on the DP->HDMI converter cable ? xD
have 4k tv do GPU HDMI to monitor HDMI
have 1080 tv do GPU DP to cable HDMI to ethernet and back HDMI monitor
as 1080 tv should have lower bandwidth and thus not have these bandwidth issues
to ethernet and back HDMI monitor
I couldn't quite follow this part 🤔
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vGQjx6 yo hows this build for a guy who just wasnts to play fortnite
Also looking into DP length limits, 3 meter for the high res. Possible to do 15m if say keeping to 1080p on a good cable
you're doing HDMI over ethernet are you not?
have 1080 tv do GPU DP to cable HDMI to ethernet and back HDMI monitor
@cursive wharfthe DP to HDMI converter cable is only 6.6ft ya I'd need an active cable to go longer
but as you said with 1080p it might not be an issues, just that it's only 6.6ft it won't reach
you're doing HDMI over ethernet are you not?
@cursive wharf ooo I see the cable says "with ethernet" but I'm not using it for anything ethernet
I just plug that HDMI-HDMI cable from GPU's HDMI port to TV's HDMI port
yes, as 4k tv is close but 1080 tv is far from what I understand
yeep that's right
and the 1080p TV isn't connected to ethernet
it's super old I got it for free
ye, GPU DP to HDMI>HDMI to ethernet>ethernet to HDMI>HDMI to 1080 tv HDMI
using the > to try and separate the conversions
dang that's a lot of conversions xD
I don't fully follow how the HDMI to Ethernet, and Ethernet to HDMI works
isnt that what the ethernet converter you already have now is?
oh no no I don't have a ethernet converter xD
I have a DP to HDMI cable
the other cable I have is just HDMI to HDMI
@little osprey decent
what imporvements to make?
@cursive wharf I know the "ethernet" part was confusing xD
it's coming from here:
https://www.hdmi.org/resource/cables
HDMI.org is the licensing agent to administer licensing of HDMI Specification, promote HDMI technology and provide education on the benefits of HDMI interface.
the highlighted text is shown on the body of the HDMI-HDMI cable
it's at least 5 year old so I don't know its exact model
but ya I'm not using it for anthing internet related
for all intents and purposes it's just a HDMI cable
So I finally decided on my Mobo, going to get it next paycheck which should be by next Wednesday, Thursday at the latest
is what I got confused about. Anyways gtg for a bit
@cursive wharf gotcha thanks a bunch for the help
Nice. Found it at at that price?
I'm surprised w/ all the price gouging
I'm going ROG b550 i with my next build once it comes back in stock
Well I have an Asus AC5300 router so I want an Asus rog Mobo so I can reap the full benefits of the router
Is that a thing lol? How does your mobo matter w/ your router
Like as long as it has an ethernet port
There's a few features that I get as a bonus
Aight, fair enough. I just like the look, even if their service is apparently bad
Ah, fair enough
might pay more for mobo, but ill like the features i get
lets hope its still in stock next week
...ok wtf
Pcpp says it's in stock
Best buy says no
?
Oh ok
i just came across this and couldnt think of a reason anyone would choose this board
a locked rog board
what a waste of money
Ahh
found this
but by the 29th, b550 boards might e in stock
yeah
The b550 version is $60 more with double the ram
But the 450 offers everything I need
well, the b550 version isnt worth buying, there are cheaper boards
Like the 450
no, i meant if you were actually looking for a b550, there are better b550 boards
than the rog strix
better as in cheaper
I posted the pics up above
Yeah I got the Asus AC5300 router
nice
barely will make a difference
what actually makes a difference is your ISP and the plan you have
also if your network is setup poorly
so, its a custom implementation of QoS?
eh
i mean, 129 for a atx b450 is decent regardless
for 150
price to perf is good, still the best board to get ATX wise for being cheap on b450. But getting for the reason of custom QoS is eh
this is preorder, but by the time youre ready to buy it could be available
but, stick with the asus board
def change that PSU
keep in mind the ONLY thing i dont have is mobo
ohh rip
IED in disguise
well didnt buy it so....
return it if you can
the only hardware i bought myself is the storage and the mobo
then I do suggest trying to get a new PSU when you can. It truly is a sketchy PSU
for a 3600 and a RX 570 i would say the psu is good enough considering you already own it
nah, the psu works at least
hes not running a ton off it
its still in the packaging from when it was shipped
well, it works till it catches fire
oh really? return it if its still in the packaging
everything minus storage is in shipping packages
I assume parents or relatives bought it?
also why return it when almost all psu are either sold out or being price gouged?
also @cursive wharf thats an interesting story right there, how i got the parts in the first place
your partly correct that a relative bought em
bit harsh given it's a gift, but you should give the PSU back and say that it isnt really that good
Well, the family member who bought it was my younger brother who stole my debit card and bought the parts as an apology from stealing other things from me
Nice
well then...
Yep
interesting...
Anyways, should still be in your name to be able to return it, unless return window passed
It's a 30 day window right?
Soon to be in stock PSU ($80): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1469008-REG/be_quiet_bn628_pure_power_11_500w.html
rn in stock PSU ($100): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W8ZS9HF?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
So ... he used your card, to buy parts, as an apology, for stealing something else?
Yep
facedesk
Lol
Though once my parents asked us both who really did it since if it was my brother he would be in legal trouble(first time they asked) he adamantly refused it was him, and still does dispite proof it was him
well, hes not very good at buying parts smh
Well he doesn't know much about parts anyways, he's 13
Sounds like my idiot younger brother.
honestly, just return as much of that crap as you can
He didn't even buy the case nor gpu I wanted
i know its a hassle, but what a waste of 800 dollars
@viral ore nah, going to keep it. Might replace psu
starting new would honestly be more idle tbh
Thing is I wouldn't get money back
Since it was bought as a "gift", I'd get a gift card balance
If that
You won't get your money back when it nukes your computer either 
^
Lol
take the gift card
Wouldn't that fall under manufacturers warrenty?
PSU would, not the parts
exactly
like CPU/GPU/storage/mobo
rest of the system is a loss, and they'd replace the PSU with another tickign time bomb
hooray?
And I think I have like a $5000 computer coverage through my insurance company
i'm sure you can find other stuff on amazon that would be useful if you got a gift card back for the PSU
buy toilet paper, it's still legal currency based on the state of the world
look into it and see how much you get as Amazon/Newegg money
for the rest of the parts
cuz tbh, you can get a fair bit more
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yVDbgJ
Honestly, if it was me. I'd tell them the card was stolen, and let little bro deal with the consequences. He's going to have to wake up to it eventually.
Hes already suffering consequences
get a gift card, and spend it on a site that accepts amazon pay
Lol
then you aren't locked into spending on amazon
@little osprey it works just PSU doesn’t work in the liquid
The gift money would be put into my Amazon wallet
well make sure he truly understands so he doesnt actually duck himself when he is an adult
@high coyote what?
@cursive wharf he's heading to a psychologist and will most likely be heading to juvie
But tbh, I'll wait a bit and see what else comes into stock in terms of PSU
hopefully that should get it to him. You see a lot of bad stuff on the internet and sometimes is sad to see
I've had good luck in terms of hardware so far.
When I went to upgrade my laptop, my mom evacuated the house for fears that I would explode my laptop or something similar.
anyways, major PSU shipment was like half a week ago (lots of PSUs came into stock). It'll probs be another 2 - 3 weeks until next major shipment I'd guess
so probs go with Pure Power 11 that is coming to stock soon or Phanteks AMP, if you can afford it
Was thinking of raidmax cobra either 1200 or 1000
1200 is $99.99
And it's a 80+ gold
nah, no good info from actual reviewers
PSUs have so much in quality that you dont really realize it's kinda crazy. To give an okay list of it all:
voltage regulation/ripple, included protections (and whether they work properly), transient response, capacitor quality, fan quality, noise (both from fan & coil whine), whether it's group regulated, whether it's multi rail, how good the solder quality is, what the failure rate is, what the average failure of the PSU causes, etc
with all of that in mind, you cant just use wattage, rating, or brand to figure it out
quick look at the LTT PSU tier list shows the Raidmax Cobra AE Gold, 850W and above on the Tier B list, but that's not the same as full proper reviews
Also for wattage, you can run a stock 3950x+2080Ti off a good 550w. 650w for basic OCing
So you really dont need that much
Ik
@spiral zealot and it's greyed out, meaning some potential issues are with it. Looking at the notes nothing says why it is. The reviews also arent that great info wise sadly.
yeah, there might be more info in the spreadsheet they used to classify everything, but that's a lot of digging
speadsheets have not much of anything
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'll just call it lack of info until a more proper review comes out for it (which doesnt seem likely tbh)
Read amazon reviews and I don't think I'll return it
They make you pay for shipping for returns
*thermaltake does
getting +$20 back is more ideal then getting -$350 to -$400 back of hardware
They make ME pay for the shipping for returns
yes, you gain back $40 or so and lose probs $20 or so for shipping
Spent 2 hours on my phone making this for my next build in 2 years, (read the description) should I change something? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ny0l92/saved/#view=c6hCzy
And btw, this is overkill because I need it to last at least 8 to 10 years
And I hope to finally play minecraft at HD with more than 25 fps

+

Can I be adopted?
Yes
Just run away and buy a really realistic dog costume and try to be as much as an animal as possible
woof woof
Good boy
Spent 2 hours on my phone making this for my next build in 2 years, (read the description) should I change something? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ny0l92/saved/#view=c6hCzy
No but for real, tell me if I should change something or if it's good
I mean it's good, but you can cut so much off that price
You're not going to need 64 gb of RAM
I would reccomend going with a kraken over the Asus, you're paying for the name brand
Nah, I prefer the Asus, I know a friend who uses the krakens x with the little remote thingy
Giga
But replace the GPU and CPU with something cheaper
Since ryzen 4 and Nvidia 30XXs are coming this year
Oh well, I have a 7k$ budget for the setup so...
And I am going to work for those money
And in like maybe 9 months I will have them
If everything goes right
Oh well
"play roblox and moincraft"
Minecraft with rtx at most while streaming
Uh
Bruh
to some extent i was right
RTX Minecraft?
sound card tho?
Minecraft with rtx
sound card tho?
Yup
And upgrade to 3080ti
Alright fine, get a 2080 super for that
Heeehh nah, gotta get everything right away
i dont think hes building it until 2 years from now
or am i dead wrong?
Sigh, you're wasting so much money
so is your build
but he wants them
and also wtf are monitors
If you're getting a wide you don't need a second
And if you for some reason decide to get a second
Go with a 1080p 60hz
dont get one thats more expensive than the ultrawidw
Since you won't really be using it for that much
Okokok, did you read what I said?
I want it overkill
I could buy even a quadro rtx and wait a bit more to pay it
This is more than overkill
But I would take it
Honestly I can make you a cheaper PC with 2 2080tis
That's how over priced this is rn
Yeah I know
But I want it like that and I cannot change things for more cheap ones
Bc I want it to last for loooooong
you are overpaying for brand names
Cough cough ASUS case
Look, ASUS is great and all, but there are better cases
uhh
I know but I don't like them
For much less
They're too boring
...
lian li, h510 elite, those open air things
^
Ok
the only thing i can personally see paying slightly more for is a monitor and a case
Ok
I want the best out of a monitor too because I've been playing with a 25 hz monitor my whole life and I've been playing with a bad laptop since my birth
Ok cooler but not a transformer
Oh I like those cases
Look gio
What kind of build to you like
Rgb
Clean
Mix of both
For me
i want to have the ability to upgrade to 64x2
@proven plank https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nL7v6h/
There ya go
Even got you a pattered front
matrix what do you plan on using your pc for?
I see it too boxy
...
Hold on
Paying 600 dollars for a case isn't worth it
gaming for lesiure vms for work
No matter how cool it works
It's 230
wait, whats going on here??
It's 230€
no, i mean in general
The guy wants a 7k PC that he's gonna upgrade
lots of interesting component choices are being thrown around
We are discussing about me choosing the Asus rog case
its a case who cares
The guy wants a 7k PC that he's gonna upgrade
I'm not going to upgrade it
if you like it and have money, get it
It's 3x the normal price of a case
If I can find a cheaper alternativ that I like them ok
you dont need a 7k pc, after the 3k mark price/perf falls of a cliff
Hold up, lemme see what I find Interesting to me
also, gaming at 7k, just go intel
unless youre doing other thinks that warrant 32 threads
I am a fanboy
Hi! Im selling my gaming pc; i7-9700K, 32GB Ram (3000mhz), and nvidia rtx 2070! Need to sell ASAP. 500USD for full system; if you want separate parts PM me for more info, prices and pics!
@little osprey delete it
It's against the rule
You're going to get warned
@coarse coral @little osprey ban this man, this isnt the first time he has tried to sell crap
Oh well
or @ripe osprey
@subtle halo
im now losing the race cause of you
srry linds
its okay lol
but he try to sell multiple times now
kicked
ok, so why get an amd cpu
Do I really got kicked
are you doing anything else aside from gaming?
Yeah
And I also use A LOT of apps at the same time
but i should say this now, are you planning on buying any of this within the next week?
Within the next 2 years
well, come back the day when you are ready to spend tons of money on a pc
I'm not going to buy those stuff
Ok
lol
Your upgrade compatable PC
I don't like it
So I went with cheaper GPU/CPU since you would trade them out
I wouldn't
You're not going to noticed a difference between 100 and 144 hz
I said even in the description that I was not going to buy those components but I was going to buy directly the 4th gen ryzen and the 3080TI
And I will notice a difference
speaking from experience, i notice the difference lol
I did try out 100hz vs 144
All the 144 hz wider monitors are overly expensive
i can tell between 144 and 240 as well
But fine I'll change it out
240hz is 
Oh well, I am fine to pay that much for it
There is even a freaking 300hz laptop
It's ridiculous
dont forget the 360hz display
which i will be purchasing someday
Thoughts httpp://pcpartpicker.com/list/W7dvx6?
I remember when the 180hz was the bonkers monitor
A 144hz monitot
Anomalous
I need to see the prices of the next 4th gen ryzen and the prices of the 3080ti and what best way than seeing the price of their previous gen parts?
And I want those rog parts
Because I love the way rog looks
do you already own the PSU @wooden viper
The ROG parts are completely over prived
And I don't mind overpaying for it
Even for the looks
I don't care
No I just need to wait or get another one
If it's beautiful and doesn't costs 3000€ I can buy it
ok
ASUS is really bad with CS too. I stopped using them after about 15 years of using them almost exclusively for customer builds.
guys i need help, I bought a silicon power 512gb ssd but it has two notches on the end that it connects instead of one, is there any way i could still get it to work
I want the look tho
also @wooden viper the H510 has bad airflow, so your components could get a but toasty
Look, if someone of you can make me a good looking pc that doesn't costs more than 7k and that has a 3950X and a 2080Ti at least with 11Gb of ddr6
i would suggest something different, unless you really like the look of the case
Well, RiP
Spend all the 7k
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ybv8BZ @wooden viper i made a few changes
I’ll check it out
the WD ssd is crap, and the psu was meh, and the motherboard was kinda unnecessary
Why not?
also, the difference between 256 and 512gb of SSD was like 15 dollars
It's pretty safe
You wanna do it for me xD?
Depends, where do you live, and do you trust a 16 y/o?
Yeah lol
I live in SoCal
California?
Yeah
Ok
But if you have worry's about it
Well, a pretty long distance then
I want to go just watercooled for the cpu lol
That's it
can someone help me plz
And can I underclock the gpu when I want?

Gio, here
Wait tho, there's another thin
The mantainance
bruh
Maintenance isn't too terrible
I know but I don't wanna rik it
Wait hold up
pls dont tell use what to do or who to ban
Nono hold uo
can someone plz help me
let us make the determination on what to do
I bought a silicon power 512gb ssd but it has two notches on the end that it connects instead of one, is there any way i could still get it to work
yes you did
and you said "ban"
just report it
and we will make the call on wht to do
i changed so its all chill
Oh ok then, sorry, I did say why thi
i changed so its all chill
Oh ok, but you should firstly read the rules before even chatting
Gio, just stop
i didnt think it was even that offensive it was just a jacked up roblox character
no need to be a mod without being a mod
Alright
@keen depot just saw the video
i dm it to u
@gritty solar yeah that'll work just fine
but it wont work
its got two slots u saw that like on the end
What's the MB you have
gigabyte aorus wifi plus
You know it's my first pc and I'm spending a lot of money, and I don't think I will be able to buy again something if it breaks, I just want a water cooled cpu with like the rog cooler and radiator or the evga one
Mind you, water-cooling performance is similar to air cooler performance
On a closed loop, at least
Ok
Just a heads up but you don't have to change anything
so what do i do about the ssd
If ur mobo doesn't have an m.2 slot it won't work
It does
its weird
Just put it in there like Linus does
Drop it then put it in?
Can you dm me that photo too @gritty solar
yea
I don't know a whole lot about m.2 SSDs
Lol mine kinda just went in so
But are B+Ms compatable with Ms?
Oh there's a difference
Yeah, I would
Yeah do it
id have to take out my gpu to put it in the other one
Oh... wait a sec
Hold on, can you link the MB?
Does someone knows a pc with a 3950X and a 2080Ti with all the peripherals for 7k$? I want to know the best I can get from that money so It can last really longer
2090?
Corrected
ok
I'm using a phone
Shump, link the mB
I'd return it and get like a MP34
If someone finds a better permorming a looking pc build than mine please @ me, I wanna see it (max 7k doe)
See ya beauties
Yeah mp34
yeah
i think my build is pretty good for 2000
Oh, it looks like I may be wrong:
https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/is-b-m-key-m-2-ssd-compatible-to-m-key-slot.2809497/
it should handle streaming pretty well tho
Night beauties
@gritty solar yeah both of your m.2s are M key
so what should i do
If you are ok spending $20 more for an mp34, I would return it for that. I'm trying to see if you can use B+M on a M key
@gritty solar according to Tom's hardware b+m is compatable with M
but the ssd is in the slot and everything and it still wont work
yeah i think
Hmm. Does it seem to be in right?
yea
did u screw it in and everything?
yea
is it connected?
Hm
yea
@gritty solar move it to the other one
the thing about that one
is its like alot longer
and i wont be able to screw it down
you can move the standoff/screw
Yeah
with your case you should have some tool to unscrew the standoff
Okay, what's the SSD that you're trying to install
Sure
ok gimme a minute to do it
@gritty solar dumb question, but did you enable the m.2 mode in your bios
I think it's enabled by default?
But wouldn't hurt to check
ok imma be completely honest, ive never built a pc before this was my first i had a laptop before this, so to answer ur question, no i have not, how do i do that
i have 0$
Fair enough. A sata ssd is still way better than mechanical
only if it has dram
It does
ok so should i just send ot back
if it doesn't its sometimes alot worse
or should i try and connect it first
what are you guys talking about?
He has a B+M key WD Blue and is having trouble installing into his mobo/detecting it. From what I can see, B+M keys work in M Keys, right?
@gritty solar it's a setting in the bios
how do i do that
I don't know much more past that
I mean I guessM
Advanced-->Onboard Devices Configuration
I kinda wanna upgrade my ram to 32 gigabytes, should I buy a 2x16 kit or buy 2 more 2x8s
Wdym
I think you gotta exit simple mode
It should tell you how to access advanced mode in your bios
It turns out it is showing up, but it's a optane drive not a normal ssd
damn
Looks like whoever he bought it from sent an 16GB optane drive instead of what he paid for
@gritty solar any luck?
It showed up for him, but like I said the seller sent him an optane drive not the 512 gb ssd he bought @keen depot
Wait he got an optane?
but it's 16gb
Yeah. A 16GB optane
was it amazon?
How do you mess that up that badly
Yes. They sent him this
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Optane-Memory-PCIe-80mm/dp/B06XSMTN31
It was likely a third party seller
can't you ask for a return?
He can and will
okay, nice
Just a really wierd situation
if he has an intel cpu, that optane would be nice
Yeah, but not for $70
usually they let you keep the wrongly sent stuff, right?
Depends
If it is direct from amazon, sometimes
3rd parties usually want the item back
damn
I like 3D parties
Lol
You can look this way and that way and the shapes change
where do i download nivida drivers?
Google nvidia drivers 🙂

forks already have one just setting up
why such a poor gpu
Its a mc server
ohhhhgotchu
We just need a output
thought u meant for playing mc lmao
Rip
do you gotta budget ?
Huh
forks already have one just setting up
Tomie
Oh, it runs on a dell optiplex now lol
Lol
lmao
Started it on a 9900k, then moved to 7700k , now 3470s
Im making a server for me and my friends
You don't need that much to run a smallish MC server. Like I run a 6th gen i7 with under 20 players, 60+ mods
Any tips?
evolving, only backwards
Ya, I can easily move it to my other servers if it got bigger
But it's fine on the dell for now lol
Im using 1.16
Starting out? Get an optiplex with like a decent i7, grab like 16-32gb of ram, a SSD, and you're golden
can you just run a server on the same computer ur playing on
Yes
i.e my rig
But like it's nice to have it separate, it hogs up resources and whenever you need to restart the server is down for a bit
right, ic
so you really just install the mineraft server jar file and run it
and open your port to the world
and it just works?
Not if you want a good experence
It does, but you want to pick a GUI
And paperMC is the best
It is more optimized, runs better
i use aternos.org
Then you want some basic mods, EssentialsX, WorldGuard, Multiverse at the very least
its free and no downloads
Aternos is alright but not for a serious server (in my opinion)
for servers
I want full control
well it has mod PACKS
I'd still get them. EssentialX is nice for like speed and bans and stuff
not specific mods
right
my favorite is tekkit legends
Worldguard is a must if you want do any world mgnt
so how would one go about installing these mods
Download them from spigot or bukkit
Put them in your plugins file
I recommend MCSS as a great GUI
So you don't have to use CMD to run it
so just as an overview
get PaperMC, install it, download spigot/bukkit along with essentialsx, worldguard, multiverse and drag it into plugins folder
Spigot and Bukkit are not needed. Basically, spigot is a fork of bukkit and papermc is a fork of spigot
so spigot and bukkit mods are compatable with paper, but you need not download either
I would start with MCSS as they make setting everything up a breeze
As someone who likes the nice redstone stuff, I dislike spigot and I believe also paper too
Why's that?
some issues with entities when moving around
def in lazy chunk area, maybe in full chunk loading area
A completely free server manager that you easily can host Minecraft servers with. Mcss is the oldest maintained Minecraft Server Wrapper for Windows.
this?
Yh, that
cant 100% remember the issues in detail
Ah. Well I haven't had any issues and me and my mods do a good bit of redstone stuff
I assume i'll still need to open a port and share my public ip address to get people out of my local network into my server?
standard redstone is fine. But say like larger slimeblock contraptions that generally use entities (ie: flying machines)
Yes, you will need to setup port forwarding in your router settings and set your ip address and your port in MCSS
But you can start out with localhost as the ip if you wanna make sure everything is how you like it before you open it up
Trust me, you will get hooked on plugins.
I have 60+ and they are growing everyday. Like you can get awesome economy plugins, regenerating mines, tons of moderation stuff, custom lore, pretty much anything you like
oh regenerating mines is something that'd be nice
The only good one I found does cost money tho (JettsPrisonMines). There are like 2-3 plugins that I couldn't find free stuff for
F
Feel free to dm me if you want a plugin for something, I can give recommendations to the good ones and the ones to avoid.
Lol
i mean i have a minecraft channel i can invite yall to
i used it for one of my servers, but its dead now
So do i, but #links-and-selfpromotion 🙂
i havent posted a link or anything so
ik lol
but man i wonder if my build could run 120 on minecraft
Mine runs 40 fps avg
my current is at 60
with sildurs extreme shaders and maxed settings
Nice. Without shaders I get 320+
i cap my frames at 100fps
I cap mine at 165, but I did unlimited to see what it'd be at
at unlimited mine is 58-60
No point having it higher if you can't see it
hm
well going to lay down, back is on FIRE rn
Bye lol
lol
hi guys!
hey Sal
i don't know if this is a dumb question
but can you decrease the performance of a GPU (RTX 2070s) to be able to use an old CPU (i5 3570k)?
No, and you don't need to
ahh i see. Im thinking of upgrading, but im scared that I might break my CPU
CPU upgrade is down the line, figured i have the $ for a gpu rn
you won't
Its not like 3570k used pcie 1.0 or something, even then, pcie is backwards compatible
thanks @stoic island and @next kestrel
Yea
Too much graphics performance doesn't affect the CPU at all
what does it mean for a bottleneck then?
a lower performing pc part is running at it's maximum performance, but this in turn limits the performance of another component
ahhh i see
thanks @jagged ember
def time to purchase this 2070s
i see "Depending on the bottleneck you may only get a small performance increase because the CPU, memory and potentially other components are so slow that they can’t feed the graphics card data at a fast enough rate to keep it busy. " from pc-builds.com
basically, yeah
is there a con for purchasing a card in advance or should i just wait till i have enough money to buy all the parts at once?
Hey I’m new to PCs and want to build one can anyone tell me the difference between asus GeForce rtx 2070 super OC 8g and asus rog strix 2070 super OC 8g
@weary sage If you have a good deal now, there is an advantage. Otherwise, if you can wait till the 3000 series GPUs come out...
lol is this a trap. i keep hearing memes from pcmr about this kinda thing
@potent prairie just kidding
Ok then
@potent prairie imma look it up thanks though
you know i always wondered this, which would be better a 6gb gpu with 1800 mhz speed or an 8 gb with 1500 mhz speed?
putting price and brand aside of course
5700xt for pure performance
Most yes
And with 5700xt specific model matters as that card gets pretty damn hot
Some heatsinks just can't do it
Is the sapphire pulse one good?
Kk
could any one help me to find a mechanical keyboard with cherry mx red or speed switches for a good price >>> from your experiences ?
great .. but most of steel series are expensive .. I think 🤔
I need something within 100$ - 120$ ...
Maybe this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074F5L8GQ
Oh that gives you more freedom then
I was thinking you wanted the more 60-90 range
Here, Corsair K70 lux
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D5S54C6
Quite a few people have k70 and have good experiences with it
And @little osprey I still don't understand you swapped yours out for one with cherry blues
I have nerve issues
Thank you @stoic island >> 🥰
I still love 'em though
Cherry browns are where it's at
It's got a click
Not so loud
Reds are fine if you want silent
Or don't like click
I agree with you
But I love the click
clicky become annoying with time 😆
Eh, headphones on and with browns not blues, you basically can't hear it well and still have the nice click feel
you can argue with that haha
if you run RTX Voice, blues usually won't come through to the listener
but blues are so damn loud it's ridiculous sometimes
@jagged ember we don't care about what our mic pics up, just what you hear while wearing headphones :p
haha that's a more reasonable concern, ig
When you got loud asf blues like me, you can hear it while having headphones on
yeah, you kinda can
I've had this for awhile now. Still love the clicky
Gotta play music to drown it out lol
unless you have like good NC and your music is up
not every body have RTX cards 🤭
or just music
Clicky feel is good
Although as fast as I type it sounds like popcorn going on
@radiant oar rtx voice runs on gtx hardware
with slight modifications, yes
oh really ! that's new for me >> thanks for sharing it
Doesn't actually use rtx cores yet
because I have GTX 1660 super in my build
hope they release it for all gpus but
Random article I pulled
https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-rtx-voice-performance/
what Monitor that you used that you can recommend it for me >> 144Hz (IPS or VA) 1ms ?
MSI g241 whenever it's in stock at b&h, 190$ for IPS 144hz 1ms, nothing wrong with that
Some are, MSI makes good price to performance monitors when I looked at it
Anyways any of the MSI Mag24[insert here] are decent under 200$
Once prices aren't bloated how much for a new pc ill probably keep my rx 580 and powersupply if its still enough (650 watt) Hoping to possibly stream if there is a way i can make that happen
I have a Mag241c, good panel, no troubles
@topaz frost if you want to stream, that rx580 gotta go lol
Yea thats fine
The rest of your PC also matters
So around how much USD?
USUALLY on normal Pre-corona prices, a decent build can be had for 600$, 700-800$ to round out some of the edges.
Thats not as much as i was expecting everyone was trying to say 1.2-1.5k
That's if you don't reuse any parts
Well here's the thing
Pre-corona 1000$ flat gets you 3600+2070 super
So um
Yea
Prices are bloated rn so that might be why they're saying that, but no need for 1k+ unless you have the money to spend
600$ cuts a lot of corners though, like 3300x+1650 super
800$ should get you 3600+1660 super
Or maybe rtx 2060, depends on prices
You're welcome
@topaz frost the market is constantly changing so come back here whenever you want to upgrade and we'll make a list for ya
So if i can get a good deal i should go for a 2060 over a 1660 super?
depends on prices and if you want ray tracing
Yes
If you get a good deal
I'd say like 280$ or less is a good deal
300$ is normal price, decent price for rtx 2060
2060 is always a step up
Ok also 16gb of ram any where between 3200-3600 speed would be ok?
One sec lemme grab an example list
Ignoring price, this used to be 900$ with a flashy expensive case
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr1111/saved/w4Hgt6
CPU cooler is redundant, but someone wanted it when I made the list. Ryzen stock cooler is good enough if you aren't overclocking and only really game
ok
PSU is overkill, I actually don't know why I put a cx750 in that list...
Cx550/Cx650 would do just fine
Whenever prices clear up, you should be able to get a good b550 board
That's just an example list anyways
Q : does 4ms response time really noticeable ? and should I get it or 1ms could be a lot better ?
Eh, 4ms and 1ms g2g is just marketing really, but there are a bit of a difference, generally you should be fine
@tepid basalt 1ms g2g can translate to 20ms color to color, while 4ms g2g could translate to 80ms color to color, which is a pretty big difference yaknow
But it's just could
Depends on the panel
I'm just assuming he's talking about mprt
I will search about that to see what I am going to buy at the End haha ..
i need help choosing a mouse
