Running a 1080 Ti with a Ryzen chip. Heavy bottleneck in games. Hoping to upgrade to Intel soon.

Uh, that's a FSB 1333MHz processor. Your mobo should support the 12MB cache C2Q's.

for a short time last summer I was using a 660 TI with an e4600

>i7 920
lul

Yeah if you like stutters.

Only 4.2? I thought Sandy Bridges could get higher than that

Like i will throw money at a fucking c2q
I curentlly save for an 1600 with b350 asus, 16gb ram and a new psu

the thermal paste is not good and i dont want to bother taking crap apart

Stop being lazy, it takes an hour and you'll get better performance

Sorry don't have any ETH

Oh well

Learn to hardware acceleration.
ancient Nvidia ION can handle 1080P

Ryzen 2600 CPU and a Radeon HD 7850. That card is ancient, probably somewhere between a RX 550 and a RX 560 or a NVidia 1050 in terms of modern card performance.

No idea what some of you girls are doing with slow CPUs and expensive GPUs, though. Seems to me prices favor the other way around.

bottlenecks are a meme LOL jesus fucking christ when will you gay nonces ever learn

It's $9 for a Xeon E5440 and $2 for a 771 to 775 adapter.

Get a xeon x5650, they're $25 on aliexpress for 6 cores/12 threads and all can oc to 3.8 ez

****R9 290x 4gb****, and very early in the build it had a 5850HD 1gb, don't laugh I didn't build it solely for gaymen, though I am waiting for Vega 20 to drop. I wanted a fully AMD build for CAD and Photoshop / Lightroom with some periodic ass rape in DOOM, Unreal 4 and, try not to laugh, fucking CS Source and 1.6

>tfw maxing out the game engine in CS Source on the R9 at 1080p

upvote

>Stop being lazy, it takes an hour
If it takes you an hour to remove a CPU cooler, reapply the thermal paste and put it back on, you may have brain problems.

Now that's impressive

Some aftermarket coolers take a while to remove and reinstall. 10-30 mins seems fair, no?

i5 3570k
r9 290
one is always bottlenecking the other, but it switches depending on what game I'm playing

>G3258
according to Jow Forums you are a god since dual cores are the absolute best you can have

i had a g3258 paired with a r9 270
wow ran fine at ultra 1080p at around 70 fps

when i swapped in an i5 4460 my fps went to 120ish

youre running a card several gens ahead of my r9 270

AMD Athlon II x3 450 with an amd radeon R9 280x for a few years.
bought a r5 1600 a few months ago.

i7-2700k with a GTX 960 on a Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4 and a 7200RPM hard drive. It plays nice together, but I definitely need to fucking upgrade the CPU and motherboard, and get an SSD. Planning on it at the end of the year.

And the 1366 x series Xeons are getting an Intel microcode update while i7 9xx aren't.

Within an hour then, stop being a temporal prick
I have an old Corsair H80i and it takes a little longer than if you were dealing with a EVO212 or a Noctua DH

X5675 @ 4.4 GHz
RX 480 @ 1300 MHz

Only bottlenecks in games with shitty ancient engines like Guild Wars 2.

Probably upgrading to a 8700K or an i9 soon-ish. Kinda need more processing power for video stuff.

On a related note, are the aliexpress cpu's safe to use and all that? Might upgrade this rig and make it a htpc/emulation machine when I get around to upgrading this one.

I have a Noctua NH-U14S and can change the paste out in five minutes. The D15 uses the same mounting system, so unless you happen to have ingested so much soi that you cannot physically lift the cooler, I don't see it taking much longer.

i7 960 @ 4ghz using a gtx 1070ti.
I think I won the bottleneck by using a CPU from 2009.

i7-5960X with a GTX-770. My 1070 died a few days back.

If you had actually read what thebfuck I typed you wouldn't be babbling on about a Noctua D15 when I said at the beginning I have an old Corsair H80i V1 stuffed, and I mean stuffed, into a Xigmatek Aquila mATX cube case

Bottlenecks are a meme 99% of games never max out even an old ass midrange CPU

For example the CPU + GPU pairings on logical increments are absolutely retarded. An R7 2700x for a 1070? Full fucking retard.

The reality of the matter is that you can get an entry level i5 or a 4 core ryzen and be set for literally 5+ years with whatever top of the line GPUs come out.

This thing is cancer when it reboots but I use it for rendering.

you;re welcome

What are the advantages of the 450 over the 350?

i5 4670
MSI GAMING X GTX 1080
6GB of unmatched DDR3 1600

Yeah, that RAM is really making a mess or things.

I've been playing GTA V on 4K on High with a fairly stable 60fps.

Upgrading to i5 8400/ddr4/h370 just didn't seem economically viable, as I wouldn't be getting much more than a 15-20% performance increase.

Ordered 2x8GB DDR3 for like $90, and that was my 2018 upgrade.

120GB ssd is $30

I've got large file needs, my hard drive was really responsive and fast until I started storing a bunch of shit on it, what I may do is get a 4TB hard drive and short stroke it to 900GB, then it will be a large spinning volume that will boot pretty fast.

os and programs goes on ssd brah.
data goes on hdd.
you will gain system responsiveness.

Oh fuck yeah, I'm saving up for this, it's 188 but I can get a really fast 1800GB volume.

Used to run my 1070 with an i3-4170, wasn't as bad as you'd think

i5 750 @ 3.5
GTX 1080

The bottleneck is real

i7 3820 @ 4.2 GHz w/ GTX 1080.

Only kinda-bottlenecked with the Witcher 3.

I was for the majority of the last year using a Phenom II 965 BE, ocd to 4.0GHz with my rx480. Any game from 2015 and on struggled to run or wouldn't run at all due to lack of instructions.

Shame Phenom II was obsoleted by it's instructions, it's got real cores compared to bulldozer which has 20% worse ipc on the cores but more of them.

For a while, I had a 3ghz Pentium with an RX 480 that was able to play quite a few games, but ran at about 10fps on stuff like Battlefield.

Transitioning to a Ryzen 5 1400 was like going from horse and carriage to a fucking Maserati.

Made by recycling a broken laptop's cpu and and bcm itx board from a business. The case I have for it is a 10 dollar wooden crate from Walmart.

1060 3gb with an FX-6300 at 4.6ghz, the CPU can still pull it's weight in some multithreaded workloads, but it's really showing it's age on games. Thinking of getting a 2600x

I did everything wrong and at the worst time. I keep meaning to upgrade but i’m buying a house. I only use it for gaming on a 1080p 60hz tv so it doesnt matter for now anyway

Are you me?

And unlock that 6950 to 6970 if you can... I saved 100€ back when I bought it.

..and that i5 2500K is still chewing through everything after 7 years with ease.

It has to be one of the best processor ever made.

hello retard

In my experience yea, I've bought like 6 and they've all worked, the 2 motherboards I've gotten both were doa tho

i5 with 1050ti with a dying ssd

was me a few months back, now i've "upgraded" to 2x650Ti Boost and 24g ram, don't ask.

after a certian number of cards, they've physically disabled that by cutting the die, tried to do it, bricked my card but did get it back.

2500K is certianly one of the best cpus ever. Keep rockin

about to get a 1060 for my i5 2500k from 2011

>unlock that 6950 to 6970
just tried but fucking rekt the thing. at least it has a back up switch on it :^)

I have a 240 mm rad not tr4 specific running push only and dont seem to have any thermal issues. To be fair i am not pushing that hard yet but is there any reason to look into getting a 360 rad? What are your idle/load temps?

>
managed to fix it as well.
anything cheap and used i can get to replace this slow pos with? for under 50$

I overclocked my computer and completely forgot about it. I thought it was running fast because of the boost clock. I was like wow this boost clock is awesome , it wasn't the boost it was my OC I forgot about. So I went into the bios to OC it and it was already OCed , I OCed it again but it was running a little warm so I put it back to the original OC.
