How's your gaming rig chugging along, user?

My I7 7700k and 1080ti are doing fine

RX 460 4GB, 6GB RAM, i3 2120, 120GB SSD.

I want a GTX 1060 but I'm too poor. FUCK.

If you can, get an RX 590 or 580 instead, much better than the 1060 for less or equal money.

Got some custom XXX white cables from MOD-ONE coming in soon. Have my lights set to static red rn, but I usually do spiral rainbow, except that I'd have to turn my video cards lights and mobo lights off since they can't sync with iCUE. Specs:
>Aorus 1080ti
>i7 8700K
>Z370 Gaming 5
>16 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200mhz (gonna buy another pair purely for aesthetics, might make a RAM disk or something)
>Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB
>Corsair Crystal 460X case (bitch to work in cuz its small but looks amazing)
>H100i RGB Platinum cooler
>Corsair LL 120 fans all hooked up to a PWM hub for cable management
>4 RGB strips
>Cablemod vertical GPU mount
>Playing on a Acer XB271HU monitor, 1440p 144/165hz IPS 27 inches with GSYNC
Im thinking of getting a cool logo for the PSU shroud and I'll make it white to go along with the new cable extensions. I decided to add white accents since the black theme swallows a lot of the light up, so hopefully white will make it pop a little more. Might sleeve the AIO tubing white, but I might like the contrast with the 24 pin cable better. I want a 2080ti bad to really push my frames but I'm waiting for the prices to drop a bit then I'll buy it used

I'm satisfied. Too broke to upgrade in any case

Damn that's a really nice looking build, love it.
I always was a fan of orange RGB, makes it look like hot, glowing scifi tech.

>red leds during summer
enjoy your house fire lmao

Yeah, my average rig from 7 years ago is sometimes having trouble playing shittly optimized modern games. I don't upgrade because I don't care at all any more.

The rainbow settings really boosts my fps. I wish Corsair made mobos and Cards. ICUE is the best implementation of RGB hands down

Attached: RIG2.jpg (4032x3024, 3.63M)

I overspecced for 1080p so I'm fine for a couple more years. No regrets

It's alright. My R9 390 borked right before its warranty expiration. It got replaced with a RX 580. Performance wise it was a sidegrade. But it's a hell lot cooler. 390 used to get so hot, I'd get borderline heatstroke playing vidya at >100 fps, I would intentionally set to lower framerate than the screen to avoid that.
i5-6600, RX 580, it runs everything I need at acceptable performance. It doesn't lack anything, except for maybe better heat management, but it doesn't bother me really.

I can't decide between a 2070 super or waiting on an aftermarket 5700xt for 1440p/144hz.
The 2070 super seems to be notably better overclocked compared to the 5700xt, but the 5700xt is cheaper and I heard its overclocking potential will improve with aftermarket cards.

You're honest with yourself. Now just save some damn money, fucker. You already cleared the first hurdle. There's no spirit journey left aside from stack fucking free casino money if yout family is big on firewater.

Screw all that. Get a used 1080ti. The 5700XT and 1080ti are close but the 1080ti pulls ahead more often than vice versa. With the 2070 super you get raytracing which isn't common enough at the moment to justify the price. A used 1080ti can be gotten for way cheaper and you get all the performance you need. I use on in my rig here:
and I run everything great in 1440p. AC Origins I get 110-140 fps in open areas, and 70-95 in city areas, but keep in mind that it is a horribly optimized game with DRM reducing performance. Save your wallet. Just test before you buy

Just built my new rig and it's getting some annoying fan rattle on the case.

Let some lil native niggas play Oregon trail, maybe Prey original if they need some pride. I feel like those skills are being lost, though. We shouldn't leave it up to try hard zombie preppers.

I'd recommend the 2070S.
Nvidia card performance scales better into resolutions above 1080p and third party versions of the XT won't make that crazy of a difference.

>i5 2500k
>1070ti
>was 970 a few months ago
Thinking bout bumping to 1080ti as I have plenty of money but 1070ti chugs everything nicely even in vr.

While I would never tell anyone on a budget to buy an expensive case over core components, after switching from a light cheap case to a heavy, strong one, there is a big difference. Putting money on a good case at the start could be advantageous because once you have it, you won't need a new one ever, or at least not for a very long time. Things like graphics cards can be easily be swapped later and they're easier to sell

La de fuckin da

Upgrade that ancient piece of shit CPU before getting a 1080Ti.

Your CPU WILL bottleneck the 1080ti hard if its 1080p. I had an i7 3770 and it bottlenecked bad. this was at 1080p however and before i bought my 1440p monitor i had already bought an i7 8700k, so if you're playing at 2K or 4K you might be fine, but i think you'll probably need an upgrade

This .
Your CPU was fine for a long time, but at this point you'll see far greater performance gains from actually getting a powerful CPU than a GPU upgrade.

nah that cpu runs games fine.
I don't get low frame rates in games people with big new 20 core cpus do.
Single core access is still king and I have mine at 4.5ghz with a 20 dollar cooler and the extra 10 frames are not worth new mobo and shitload of money on new cpu.

People memed I wouldn't get double frames from 1070ti especially in vr over 970.
I got double frames from 1070ti in vr. No bottleneck.

Makes no sense but if it works it works. I'll upgrade when I see the bottleneck myself instead of being told by people who don't have my setup online that I have bottleneck.

I got the Meshify which I really like, and it seems to be one of the few cases these days that has any front airflow. I think it's the cheap fans I bought that are the problem.

Skelly image appropriate.

>Just got a r5 3600
>Now 580 is the limiting factor

Feel like it was bullshit saying this card was fine for high@1080p, I dunno what I am doing but it seems to struggle with frame drops despite being the 8GB version

Okay dude, whatever you say. I had a 3570K at 4.6Ghz before upgrading to a 8700K in 2018.
The stutters on the 3570K were giving me cancer, stuff like Battlefield 1 was literally unplayable. But if you feel like throwing money away on a GPU upgrade you will barely feel thanks to the CPU bottleneck, be my guest.

Gtx 1060 3gb. Biggest mistake of my life

It's not hard at all. Unless your PC is built in such a way that you can't fit your fat fingers to the back of your drives or to the CPU power socket.

It's the easiest part to install compared to anything else.

Not really, mine died.
I didn't take photos just disconnected and memorized what things require power and it was done.
Just take pictures of all connections for reference, undo a few screws, undo a lot of clips, toss octopus out, toss new octopus in and use mini zip ties and brain cells to route wires in an organized and smart way.
For safety reasons let it sit without power for a while to let capacitators uncharge so you dont get zapd.

You're chasing the same high as trannies tbqh

Didn't know part of being a tranny was wanting a stable 60fps, better get my dick cut off and sold to china

>battlefield 1
I don't play every new AAA games cause I am not interested in any of them.
All the VR and games I like run at max spec.
I don't give a fuck about ubishit open world copy paste trash or yet another reskin of battlefield 3.
Only games to give stutters is shit like generation zero but that runs horribly on literally any system cause developers are brainlets and it's not that great to begin with.

Honestly, my first two cases had front airflow, now I have tempered glass front with 1 inch side vents and the difference in temps is almost non existant. My LL 120's have no problem pulling the air through and if you get even better pressure optimized fans it shouldn't matter. Of course, some cases don't have a wide enough vent

>stable 60 fps
You perfected the time machine!?

Rx570 8gb and r5 2600 so I think I will be good for some time
forgot to buy case cooler, and will be stuck with one stock one, for atleast month until next paycheck also bought case with only one in, and one out, I kinda fucked that up

Only buy from big companies, no no name trash. EVGA for example is great. Make sure its 80+ certified and you're fine. Check out how much you need with a wattage calculator tool then give yourself some headroom. For example, I need about 550W so I have a 650W PSU. I would recommend getting a modular or semi modular PSU if you care about aesthetics

How is the 2060 super GPUs? I'm thinking of upgrading from my old 1060 and getting an MSI Ventus graphics cards.

this, also important are the safety features.
PSU is one of those things if you get a shit one it will fry everything. Always get a proper PSU. Check reviews and do your research properly until you know exactly which one to get.

You're a fool. Put the 1080ti and I guarentee you will get no performance gains because of the bottleneck. Your 1080ti will run like the 1070ti. My 3770 was bottlenecked, so you somehow think your even older i5 wont be?

I have an i7 6700k and 1070 in my main rig from 2016, probably do me for another two years at least.

got a i5 4570 paired with an rx580 Dell optiplex build in my living room
for more casual stuff (tv is only 60hz)

All irrelevant. The bottleneck will grant no performance gains whether you're playing AAA ubishit or not

i got a 1660 ti because anything over 1080p is for gullible zoomers

Well I kinda was about to but when I finished the build and turned on the power, the cunt of a motherboard fried itself. I mean literal smoke coming out sorta fried. And since the retailer chose to be a cunt about my rma-claim I'm in a bit of limbo here, waiting for them to check the parts and replace the fucked ones

People guranteed same shit with 1070ti. To the point where they spammed walls of text how I won't see ANY gains.
It got the framerate improvements I expected.

If I get 1080ti and it bottlenecks at cpu even after OC I'll get a new fucking cpu.

If it doesn't I'll keep on not giving a fuck and running a 10 year old CPU most games don't utilize fully save for few ones I have no interest in playing anyway.

1080p at 120hz with color accurate monitor> shit memes > 4k.

Gonna crank it down a few notches, just for them. Comfy cool.

I'm in the same boat. On one hand, Nvidia are fucking jews of the highest caliber, but I play a lot of games with Goyworks and it seems that AMD's worse for OpenGl which concerns me for emulators.

Just buy used xx70ti/xx80ti card from good manufacturer, run it for like 3 years and get another one.

lmao I feel bad for you

>People guranteed same shit with 1070ti
the difference between a 1070ti and a 1080ti is fucking huge. They're in completely different leagues. Expecting it to pair with a 1070ti is somewhat reasonable because it is a much less powerful card. If you're playing at 2K or 4K maybe you're kind of ok, but at 1080p you're dreaming

This except that my pc started rebooting randomnly and couldn't find the fucking problem causing it

Feel the need? Motherfucker I have no choice. My psu died yesterday!

Newer games feel like they just fucking thrash even an OC'd 4790k, but the rule is to ALWAYS buy the refresh of any new chipset/CPU as far as my plans on jumping to Zen 2 go. I kinda just got off a 1100t for pic related a few years ago, and since I mostly play old games forcing 8x SGSSAA, being CPU-bound isn't a huge glaring issue for vidya, but a fully-loaded Firefox installation sure likes to tax shit

I'll see for myself if I need to upgrade cpu but I'm sceptical based on every time me mentioning wanting a new gpu and people flipping out in exact same way only for benchmarks to prove them wrong. All I would need it to do is bump frames in VR while supersampling anyway and only because I have buncha disposable income sitting around with nothing to spend it on.

What "everything else" do you do?
Are you a professional video editor or do 3D modelling?
This is Yea Forums, obviously i'm gonna recommend the best gaming option.
That "10 fps" is when compared to the 3900X btw, the AMD option that actually costs more than the 9900K. It completely btfos the 3700X, especially when OCd.
Is it overkill for most people? Yeah of course, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad choice.

I do 3d proffessionally and you really need a gpu, ram and SSD for that. And even then unless you're working on massive shit with huge tex res last gen card is plenty.

Thinkgen of upgrading to a 2070 SUPER and a 3700x, think it'll carry through the next console generation?

Well yeah then of course for you the 9900K isn't the best option, specifically only for gaming/streaming it's the strongest option right now.

Attached: 1558974788315.png (2048x1536, 1.67M)

Yeah for sure. If you want 1440p throughout the whole gen you might wanna get a 2080 Super / 2080Ti instead, but for 1080p you'd most likely btfo the entire gen with your current build.

>What "everything else" do you do?
>Are you a professional video editor or do 3D modelling?
I can ask same retarded rhetorical questions. You want to spend 500$ on a CPU that you ONLY game with? You never use ps/premiere? You never have like 10 different programs running in the backround? You only game? Like, that's everything? You are a fucking retard.
>It completely btfos the 3700X, especially when OCd.
And it's also a fucking hot housefire that doesn't come with a cooler and draws 200w.
>the AMD option that actually costs more than the 9900K
No. You still have to buy an aftermarket cooler for 9900K.

When are THEY going to release their next 200 dollar cards?

Thanks user. Time to start building.

can't even get playable fps on dorf with decent for size lmao

You'll want an aftermarket cooler anyway if you're going for a highend CPU, do you just plan to run at stock settings forever?
In Premiere the 9900K does fine too, again you'd need to go for an equally expensive AMD to beat it there.
Ultimately it comes down to what you wanna do with your PC of course. I personally don't run much more than Chrome and Discord in the background while playing stuff usually, which pretty much doesn't affect performance at all.

>3900X/9900K
>high end
Lmao you are a literal pleb.
>You'll want an aftermarket cooler anyway if you're going for a highend CPU, do you just plan to run at stock settings forever?
You don't have to, Zen 2 doesn't have much OC headroom anyways.
you're going for a highend CPU
>In Premiere the 9900K does fine too

>half dead
Is it really though, or is that desire for new hardware talking? If you're still on 1080p, slap another 4gb of ram in there and you're practically set for another 2 years or so.

And should you desire, that'd make a respectable backup pc, or a gift for a young family member.

intel is based. You're not.

>"Best gaming cpu by a significant margin"

You're a special kind of retard.

If you're going with Intel the i'd say go up to 9900K. The 9700K only has 8 threads, that'll fuck with your performance sooner than you'd probably like.
If you wanna be budget conscious about it, get a 3700X instead tho.

on the plus side the longer i have to JUST WAIT™ for amd shit the bigger my budget becomes. so theres that at least.

get a used 1080ti instead. I never buy new cards. The used market has so much more value, often 30%-50% cheaper for the same thing. Test before you buy. All that saved money can go to other things

How the fuck can I play PC games without my PC frying? I own a vega 56 with blower which doesn't help, noises aren't issues but my PC exploding from the heat might be.
Just playing only with my switch right now

Get a vega 56, many deals around it right now, best price/value

2600x has 12 threads, good enough for gaming?

ive got two gtx 680s and an i5 4650. I can just barely stream and game but it somehow works. I'm trying to decide if I want to get a 2600x or 3600x on CPU side AMD between 2060 super or 5700xt on GPU side. I e never ever used AMD but their price/performance look too good to pass up.

Get a PC case with a mesh front and good cable management options. (Fractal Meshify C or Coolermaster H500 are great options)
Make sure you have enough intake fans to generate good airflow.
If that's not enough, point an external fan at the front of your case, or if it's really that bad, take off the side panel and point the fan directly at your components.
Also maybe consider reapplying thermal paste on your CPU and GPU, opening up a GPU is a somewhat advanced maneuver tho so maybe have a professional do that if you're not confident in your ability.

2600X is decent (it's what i have, actually), but its singlecore performance is kinda mediocre compared to something like the 9700K.
A good imiddleground would be the 3600, or maybe the 3700X like i recommended earlier.

>2600X
>1080ti
I think I'm doing alright.

>singlecore performance is kinda mediocre
Games relying on single core are becoming more rare though, mostly old games who need single core and in their care the 2600x is clearly more than enough, especialla since CG take the lead when you play at much higher resolution such as 2k

What i'm posting here is a benchmark very favorable to the 3900X btw, at higher resolutions or with a stronger GPU (they used a 2080), the 9900K would be even further ahead.

Nah. The performance gains this gen has been pathetic.

I want to go with AMD but their GPU's have too many issues with emulators.

Beside CEMU, CPU matter more than GPU in every emulators

That's all irrelevant because he isn't buying a brand new card at full price. It's a used card and therefore the price is adjusted based on the performance it brings and age dumbass. The 970 is a good card for 1080p and will offer decently high frames, all he has to do is get it for a reasonable price

Not true. More CPU performance can help overcome a GPU bottleneck if it's good enough. Ryzen isn't

Holy shit you're fucking retarded, CPU doesn't fix gpu bottleneck, higher resolution only help for small CPU bottleneck because the load will be heavier on GPU than CPU (because more pixels).
If your CPU bottleneck a little, higher resolution help if your GPU is strong enough to take advantage of it (but cannot fix heavy CPU bottleneck), but higher resolution has no way to fix even a small GPU bottleneck unless somehow, the integrated GPU is somehow more powerful than your dedicate one, so retarded.

Is your CPU alright, user?

My i5 4450k/gtx 960 still runs everything well enough but I'm sitting on a pile of money that I don't know what to with so I figured I'd build a new system anyway.
Currently decided on 3700x paired with either 5700xt or 2070 super.
Was initially planning 2080 super but the price hike for that minimal performance gain just seems wrong on principle.

speccy can't into ryzen temps

For the near future, yes.

How near? That plus a good 1440p monitor is already sitting around 2k, I don't wanna be at an odd midpoint which is how all my computers ended up being

Unironically cost more than a new 2070 and sometimes even 2080's in my country.

Yep average used 1080ti goes for around $900 here is aus. While the cheapest new reference 5700 xt goes for $630. Fucking insanity.

here in cucknada you can score a 1080ti for around $650-$750 on average. After tax you can get a 2070 for that price but you are also getting lower performance, and a new 2080 is $970+ dollars for the exact same performance plus meme raytracing. It's so weird hearing US tech youtubers talk about pricing since pricing makes a little more sense there at least

*used 1080ti for $650-$750

here in EU you can get a 2080 for 650€/750$
A used 1080ti doesn't make sense above 500$

>he fell for it

That build should carry you throughout most of the next console gen. However devs don't optimize their games for shit anymore so noone can guarantee you 60+FPS at 1440p in two years let's say.

>Feel the need to upgrade yet?
no
but I still want to
>super 2080 would be a nice upgrade. current card is fine but it struggles with some things and has weird issues
>but I might also want to upgrade my 2600 to one of the new 3000 cpu

The cheapest I've seen 1080ti's pop up on our local trading site is like $900 NZD ($600 USD) but the only one up they're asking $1200 ($800) for it, not a common card here.

Another issue is we missed out on Vega 56/64 so all Nvidia Cards 1070 up were overpriced resulting in people not wanting to let go of theirs for cheap. 5700 XT looks fantastic value wise and literally btfo's every single offering of Nvidia's (unless you absolutely need ultra 4k or something, in which case you're probably going to pick up a 2080ti anyway) seeing as the 5700 and XT actually have pretty close to their MSRP here.

This except Im tired of this and I want 4k +120fps.
Im tired of this gpu ffs Nvidia release something decent

I'm running a 4790k as well. What games struggle? I've never been close to running into CPU bottlenecks, aside from recent AC games, which are optimized terribly.

I get more fps than the the video you linked bro, not sure what he did wrong.

That feel when you run Battlefield and Overwatch in the hundreds of FPS, but neither feels half as smooth as Quake Live.

I think I'll hold off until PS4/Scarlet are out, then buy the 80ti of that generation + whatever new Ryzen has come out by then, or AMD GPU + Intel processor if they pick up the slack and manage to one up their competitors by then.

assuming you're playing at 1080p 144hz, which is what it looks like with your hardware, selling your 980 and buying a used 980ti, 1070, 1070ti or 1080 in my opinion would be a good investment to push higher frames. unless you're playing at 60hz in which case youre more than fine

Still running a 980ti with a i5. This thing can run everything at max settings.

Yeah, fuck that. Tell me when jewvidia stops with their ridiculous prices

Running a i5 6400 I got for cheap back in 2016, and a GTX 1060 6GB. I was thinking about upgrading to a Ryzen 3600, but nah, no need to waste money right now, my i5 still holds up for new games, since I only care about playing in 60 fps and run all mid/high settings at 1080p. However I plan on upgrading once the new gen hits.

My i5-2500K finally showing its age, but simple upgrading would be insane at this point, have to replace most of PC. Only old HDDs, video card, and maybe PSU could be used with new PC.
The worst part is I would have to upgrade to Win10, so I'm holding on my current rig as hard as I can.

Currently using a 2500k + HD7850. I'm planning on upgrading to a 3600 + 5700XT (once the partner cards are out) and also getting a 1440p/144hz monitor

I'm in a similar boat with a 1060, I want to upgrade but there's nothing I can upgrade to that isn't a huge waste of money for the improvement I'd get.

I do have a 144hz monitor, but I don't mind the fps too much so long as I get to 60 at least. I'm kinda lazy, but I know I'll have a lot of fun building a new PC from scratch. It's just that... like:
>980ti is out, meh, whatever
>1080 is out, eeeh it's a minor improvement, I guess I'll wait for the ti
>ti is out, but it's just a minor improvement, I guess I'll wait for the 2000 series, that'll be really great with ray tracing
>2080ti is out, cool... but it can't run raytracing really well, guess I'll wait for the next series!
I made my PC after PS4 and Xbone were really out and games were coming out, and that PC lasted the entire generation without issues, so I'm thinking of doing the same this next generation (though I might upgrade once during it).
In hindsigh, I have a huge issue with postponing shit, fuck.

>The worst part is I would have to upgrade to Win10
why would you need to upgrade to win 10? I'm still using win 7. sure i dont boot as fast, and maybe i lose 3 fps because no dx 12 but other than that i have no issues

Moved from an i5-3570k build to a Ryzen 2600X build back in January, kept the 1070 I had in the old rig. Only real thing I'm gonna upgrade before the year is the GPU really, and that'll probably be a 5700XT.

After that all I'm left with is...maybe a Freesync monitor, I guess. That processor and GPU combo should last me a good 5 to 6 years before having to upgrade again.

Yeah man I'd recommend sticking to it for another 3 years, if you don't care about playing games on anything more than 1080p. Nvidia 1000 series was a blessing in that regard. Also I don't plan buying a 4k monitor at all, maybe in 5 years or so when the prices get half decent (im a poorfag)

Because some of new hardware only works with W10. There's no drivers or 7.

>if you don't care about playing games on anything more than 1080p
That's kind of the thing, I was looking to upgrade my monitor and get something bigger and better but it just isn't worth the cost. The 1060 is too good at what its doing right now.

It runs Forza at 72fps at max settings so I'm good

Attached: SpeccyJan2019.png (613x381, 84K)

So it seems you want a massive overhaul or nothing. In that case you can do what i did. I was playing at 1080p 144hz with an i7 3770 and a 980ti, so my experience would have been similar to yours. Upgraded to a 1080ti, 8700k and got a 2K 165hz monitor. The difference was so dramatic that it still leaves me in awe

No its just speccy being retarded like usual newfag

Damn, nice temps. Not much going on and it's already 97% utilisation though.

I had no idea about that. my 8700k and 1080ti, 970 evo plus all run fine for example, and those arent exactly old hardware. unless of course the shift to win 10 requirements was VERY recent

I resealed it with mayonnaise and I think it's starting to expire.

That won't fly for long dude, soon we'll have next gen and then getting to 144fps/over1440p will be really demanding!
...or the new consoles are just a minor improvement over the last ones and they actually go for QoL improvements like SSDs they won't shut up about, and graphics will remain somewhat stagnant.
In which case, I'm really glad the GPU companies are pushing hard for ray tracing.

I have a i5 6600k cpu and am considering buying a rtx 2080. Will my cpu bottleneck the 2080? It´s for 1440p.

I wouldn't base PC hardware requirements on console gens. They're already so behind that it isn't a reliable metric. They will be getting things that we've had on PC for the past 10 years and tout it as major innovation

S-surely they'll catch up to the 2060 at the very least with the next releases. Remember this image? Were they lying?

3570k + 580 here, aside from ubishit games like asscreed everything run fine. Waiting for next gen consoles as it's the only smart time to upgrade your PC.

Step one: set up your windows to not automatically restart so it shows you blue screen of death.
support.hp.com/vn-en/document/c03413399

Step two: wait for your PC to restart again. If it shows your BSOD, write on paper what exception you got and use google to see which part of your software / hardware is faulty. You will probably need new drivers or reinstalling windows.

If it will still restart without any BSOD, you have fucked up power supply unit aka PSU. In that case buy new one asap. PSU units are critical to replace: in power failure they can fry your whole computer to charcoal.

Also.ypur PC can be overheating due to expired thermal paste or fans not spinning because of too much dust.

Especially when literally the only reason to bother with water-cooling is for aesthetics and brownie points. In all other scenarios, it's just not worth it. If someone is all about OCing, you can push your hardware to the limit by just getting beefier air coolers for much lower cost and no plumber maintenance. And since it's cheaper you can then spend the additional money you would've spent on water memes on just getting more powerful hardware outright anyway.

ONLY reason to bother with water is if you think it's cool. That's it. It's not actually beneficial over good air cooling in any way that matters.

My rig is getting old but it runs everything i need it too. The fan noise when running graphic intensive games is getting me down though.

nvidia needs to fuck off with their bullshit naming schemes that only serve the purpose of obfuscating what people are getting and jewing them over.

Like how XX80-ti is actually the modern equivalent of what used to be a XX80, and a modern XX80 is what used to be an XX70, etc. But of course they still price them all up accordingly as if they were still equivalent by name. And don't even get me started on shit like 1060 6GB vs the """1060""" 3GB

Crossing my fingers that the Navi cards from AMD are good. graphics card market desperately needs AMD to become competitive again just to prevent nvidia's runaway jewing.

I'm a plumber. I know how to work with copper and I have the tools to work with copper. The fittings I used are plumbing-grade and can withstand 10x the pressure in a watercooling loop for 10x as long.
It was easier and cheaper to use what I had on hand than to use the awful garden hose you'd see in a typical loop.
The fittings I used will never leak. I've been installing these for around 10 years. Not one has ever leaked, even at significantly higher pressures and flow rates.

Don't listen to this retard. You're getting memed into buying a ridiculously overpriced card. There are plenty of less-expensive options capable of achieving 100fps at 1440p for like a 3rd the cost

>1070 is fine for 1440p
ya if you're playing minecraft

For many modern games (and everything coming out in the future), has a point.
2080 Super should do the job as well though, so you could wait for that to come out.

>100 =/= 144
2080ti is the only card capable enough to run modern games at 1440p 144hz and even then not without reducing some settings

I want to upgrade but I'd need so much since I'd need a new screen too for the high fps meme. I just wish there was a game coming out that could make me excited about upgrading. Spending 8k just to play the same shit I already play but kinda better isn't very exciting.

2080 super came out, and it's still can't

Is a used Vega 56 worth it for $245USD?

no fucking shit, did you think running games at 1440p 144hz was going to be easy?

How about you learn to fucking read

Best value card right now seems to be the 5700/5700XT, for 350/400. But you need to wait for non-blower versions to come out.

Am I a schill if I upgrade my Ryzen 1600 to 3600 just for the single core performance boost, it's paired with an RX 580

1080ti or 5700xt or 2080 (5700xt new or 1080ti used is best value here by far) minimum. most games you will get 100+ fps, especially if you're willing to dial settings back a bit (anti aliasing for example isnt as important). in horribly optimised AAA ubishit for example you will get 100+ fps usually but it will drop to 75-95 fps in NPC populated areas like in AC Origins for example. If you want to really push the frames over 100 100% of the time in all games, the 2080ti is the only option. Imo id just get a used 1080ti or 5700xt and just wait. If dont play demanding games there's no need as well. the 2080ti gives you 25% better performance for 200% the cost (this is in cucknada however)

>$245USD
sure if it's not a blower

no I didn't but I'm not spending 1200€ on a fucking graphics card

I upgraded my 1600x to 3600x.
multithread it's faster than 1700x, single thread it's as faster than 7700K
and I'm able to run my RAM at 3200 stable, finally

Yea it’s the reference design, is it really that bad at managing temps?

>or 1080ti used is best value here by far
Problem here is that a used 1080ti is a massive gamble because you never know what you're going to get. Like if it's a totally blown-out miner card that's about to fall apart.

He said 100 fps, not that he needs to max out a 144hz monitor.
With freesync around, it's really not that big of a deal anymore if your framerate is variable and hovering around the upper two-digits and lower three-digits.

Nahw that's a good upgrade, the 3000 series Ryzens don't just have higher clockspeeds but also significantly higher IPC.
The 3600 pretty much beats the 2700X, for example.

I have a 2080ti. Poor people disgust me.

Yes, they're really bad. Blowers should be illegal.

not bad, but not comfortable either
vega is a hot chip, save up for 5700 if you can that one is as cold as 1070

>2080ti is the only card capable enough to run modern games at 1440p

This.

I try to tell people all the fucking time that the losers who recommend anything less than 2080ti in 2019 are setting you up for long days of google searching for why the game title you paid 50 bucks for runs and looks like absolute shit after trying every snake oil trick in the book to the point of manually modifying the config files.

I know because I was one of those mislead people until I finally decided to put up the money for a 2080 ti for 1440p gaming and even though it may have its flaws I literally can't imagine using anything less for a quality experience at a sustained 60+ fps, especially with shit like Cyberpunk around the corner.

Budget PC gaming nowadays has ridiculous diminishing returns. If you're not going full blown high end you're just paying more money for a subpar experience the higher the mid-end tier you go.

You can buy a newer gen console that will literally give you the same performance as a budget PC but at substantially less. Literally the fucking selling point Sony and xbone has been using recently.

If you insist on building and buying parts for a PC in 2019 and not going high-end, you are wasting your money

Could probably use a better graphics card but i'm not going to with these fucking prices

I will never upgrade from my GTX 1080. Already I feel tired by videogames, by the time the card can't run any games I will probably abandon this hobby.

I upgrade once in a while. Bought the 980 back in 2015. Had the 8350 for about 7 years.

Basically this.
Why spend tons on both when you can spend a lot on CPU and still get a powerful card you can change in a few years.

I've got plans.

What "worthy" games are you all playing that need higher than a 1060/580 to run? Pretty much every worthy games released this year can run on potatoes.

gonna have to change my old r9 280x for either 2060 super or rx 5700 xt soon.

I feel it, considering replacing my R1600 with a 3700X.
But not for current games, those run perfectly fine, even great.
It's for all the 10 or even 20 year old games I'm still playing.
I love my OC'd 1600, but holy shit it's a piece of shit for anything single threaded, so I really struggle to reach 60 fps on the latest Stalker mods and yes even GZDoom is struggling to keep 60fps.

What would you suggest?

Don't feel like upgrading till next console generation to be honest. Especially considering that most good looking games are open worlds now and I hate that genre.

Now now, user. No need to be bitter.

Literally anything that isn’t a blower version of an extremely power hungry card. I’d go with the strix version.

The absolute state of Windows 10 fags.

Undervolt the 56 it will drop temps by 20C and power consumption as well which means less heat. Drop your overclock on CPU by 100mhz if you are pegged at the upper end of it's capability. You will lose like 3% performance but have much better temps.

>still get a powerful card you can change in a few years

kek. Amazes me how the morons that spout this archaic dogma ever buy GPUs if they're constantly "waiting" for something to outdo what currently exists.

FX 8320 with an HD 7950.
Considering upgrading to an RX 580. Thoughts?
I game on 1080p.

Nyet, my system was just made about two years ago so I've got plenty of time before needing to upgrade

not that fag, but just out of curiousity, how did you swing a 2080 for 300?

The same way I swing a 1950x for 350.
There was an add on a French marketplace.
Most likely the card was "dropped from the truck" as we say.
Both things are working flawlessly and I saved close to a 1000 euros.

Not worth it then honestly, just go for an EVGA or MSI air cooled model

He had to suck a lot of cocks at the local hardware shop

so you know how when you use vsync your game is locked to a certain framerate to ensure there's no screen tearing and the image displays perfectly?

G-sync and Freesync are variable refresh rate systems that allow you to have no screen tearing (like having vsync on) with the monitor just updating whenever it gets a new frame instead of at a fixed hz. If it's being sent 75 fps, it'll be 75 hz, if it's being sent 45 frames it'll be 45 hz. Lowers input latency compared to normal v-sync and makes dropping framerate under heavy load much less annoying.

If you have a g-sync or freesync enabled monitor there is no reason not to use this in my opinion.

If I want to upgrade, I'll lave to more or less replace everything. I plan on getting a Ryzen 7, a 2070 Super, so with having to get more RAM and a new motherboard, that will easily push me to around $1000

now all I need is a decent job. At least I have about $400 saved up for it.

i will enable it then, thanks user

Change ur shitty platform first, FX is dead in the water.

It's alright, user, I've got the money for it, but thank you for the concern. You helped me out with this.

ive thought of that but id probably just make a new build at some point in the future. Trying to get all that I can from this current build.

And also just like pretty much every game that came out between 2013-2015. For the longest time the "8th gen" didn't even feel fucking real because literally everything was just slightly upgraded ports of PS3/360 games on PS4/Xbone

no but I might be playing them at 4k 120/144 hz. which currently can't be done with HDR on even DP right now. (maxes out at 92 fps with HDR enabled).

Televisions with HDR, 9ms of input lag, 120 hz panels and HDMI 2.1 are gonna be cheap as fuck soon too and considering I don't play FPS I'm jazzed.

Feels good. I might get an upgrade/rebuild for the PS5, but man the PS4 was a totally shit generation. Absolutely nothing beyond Uncharted to get me to buy that and jump off my PC.

None of these cards do 4k/144hz either. Literally zero point.

I've wanted to upgrade for years, but I've not found a reason to.

8350 FX and EVGA 970 for 1080p. I don't want any bigger monitors so I'm just gonna wait till this shits out I guess.

Uhh they definitely will in a lot of games I'm interested in playing like rocket league and simracers.

Bought a 2070, pretty happy with it
But my stock 4770K I7 is a pretty big bottleneck along with my old gen ram

ive got the gigabyte version, runs really cool at stock which allows for some nice OC and handles every game at ultra 1080p, might be better to buy a better card if you want to go above 1080p since the card is pretty much made for 1080p

Honestly just get a new rig, your platform as well as your GPU is garbage for anything modern. Obviously keep the same storage in the new system though.

I have a 1060.

I haven't gotten back into PC gaming because I know I'll have to upgrade soon.

what refresh rate? 60? Honestly if you don't feel like going about 1080/60 you can probably just get a card for ~200 dollars like an RX590 or 1660TI and be fine. The higher-end cards are only needed once you start pushing higher refresh and/or resolution

Exactly. 5700 is definitely overkill if you're just shooting for standard res/refresh. Personally I'm looking to buy a 5700XT *because* I want to also get a 1440p/144hz monitor. But otherwise I'd get something ~$200

just browsing the internet on 1080p is already annoying, i can't imagine the eye strain on 1440 or 4k.

thank you

based. fuck these retards spending thousands for 71 degrees idle.

possibly my cpu, but definitely not my gpu. I need more frames

My i9-9900K + Titan RTX setup is still doing really great, thank you VERY much.

Nah
My rx480 is holding up just fine.

Only reason I would need an upgrade is if I finally decide to up my screen resolution from 1080, and that's not gonna happen until game devs finally stop supporting it which isn't gonna happen for a looooooong time.

What's a better psu for something like an overclocked 9700k and a 2070S/5700xt, a gold rated 750w or a platinum rated 650w?

I know the 3600 and 3700x are close to the cpu in performance at a better price and power draw but the 9700k seems like a good buy with the amazon price drop.

I’d go for the gold rated 750w, platinum rated PSU’s are a meme. I’ve used a gold rated EVGA supernova 750w for 4 years now and never had an issue with it.

Runs great for everything. but theres no games to play anymore. At least ones that require the full power of my pc.
Will upgrade one year or so into the next gen of consoles. So I have better hardware than them.

>But my monitor is 768p

Only AAA games even have demanding graphics now, not good graphics, mind you, just demanding and it's just not worth it anymore. Even if you disregard the inflated prices completely, there is just no fucking need upgrade for the couple of games that need expensive graphics. Which games are there even? Feels like I haven't touched AAA games for half a decade or longer. Everything good is either AA or indie nowadays. Also why so many retards on Yea Forums moan about "no good games" when they straight out refuse to play good games, because they don't have AAA graphics.

Then I will lose like 20-30 fps. 1050ti cant handle hd resolution. HD has twice as many pixels as 768p.
