No. 1060 3GB doesn't even have enough VRAM from some games at 1080p. 1440p uses significantly more VRAM.
You should consider a used 980 instead of a 1060 3GB. No one should buy the 3GB, really. It wasn't a good buy when it came out 2 years ago, and it's even worse now.
>Also what kinda games have you tried it on? Destiny2 is one example, which uses over 3GB at just 1080p.
Well 6GB is really enough for 1440p, generally. It's just that GCN has always scaled better at higher resolutions.
It's the same when you look at Vega. 1070Ti beats Vega56 by a few % at 1080p, while Vega56 beats 1070Ti by a few % at 1440p. Is right that 8GB is too much for the card, but it is what it is. I haven't pushed near the 8GB at settings the card can run stuff well at, but it's certainly gone over 3GB and around 4GB.
I'll at least a quick example in one game in a minute here.
Don't. You get better results and it's easier to just turn PBO on. >precision boost overdrive worth it Very much yes. It's better than a manual overclock for most games and daily usage, stability, etc.
Oh nice it came 2000 series ready. What retailer is it from?

I want to build a home server that can also function as a desktop if needed for basic tasks. It needs to be x86-64, fairly powerful, and secure. Intel is shitting the bed and so I've decided to go with AMD. I haven't built a desktop in over a decade and don't know where to start.
I have the following bare minimum requirements: >AMD quad core 2GHz or better >2GB of RAM >as small and quiet as possible >must have VGA or HDMI output through iGPU >one USB 3 port >one internal SATA 3 port >PS/2 keyboard port >motherboard not made by MSI or ASUS Will take a prebuilt if it's cheaper. The CPU is the most important part, as I'll be offloading big programs via SSH from my laptop to compile on this machine under Debian Linux and I'll be using a RHEL VM in QEMU/KVM. Budget is $500 but it should be as cheap as possible, and keep in mind I already have disks for it.
What's the best method of getting my computer valued to sell? Valuing everything from retail, then subtracting a percentage? Putting out an ad on Gumtree to check for prices people would pay? Sorry, I'm new to selling anything. Looking at selling my computer to sidegrade to a laptop. au.pcpartpicker.com/list/98VJw6 Aside from some chink RGB fans which were another $24 AUD to buy, this is my computer at the moment. Seeing as how I don't explicitly need a computer, I thought I'd just get a more than capable laptop for youtube, some video playing, light VM work, and lightweight games. For now, I'm just wanting to get a general pricepoint for this computer, and then going to look around for laptop options. Had a Ryzen laptop in mind, but not a clue otherwise. You know, just something on-par with, or better than my current computer.

thanks, ill get the 2700X, i might even use the cooler that comes with it. will its stock cooler hold 4 ghz on all cores really? i read some forum posts and leddit, they say it does, anyone can confirm?
Henry Richardson
To O/C a Ryzen+ you just need to use PBO (precision boost overdrive) which does it "automatically". >based on cooler I'll quote an user: >PBO will still give some performance increase on the stock cooler, just not as much as if you cool it more. >If you want something more... look for something in the 180W TDP cooling range that's not a lie like the 212x Evo is.
Jonathan Taylor
what? ryzens use 180W?
Owen Richardson
No, that's not what I said. >For Ryzen, anything in the 125W-140W TDP range is good. When talking about the Wraith Prism cooler: >yea. It's rated for 125W of heat dissipation and the 2700X is rated for 105W. It'll be fine.
Brayden Foster
PBO is based on multiple factors, i.e. power draw, temperature, voltage level, and BCLK if your board supports changing that PBO isn't mandatory, just recommended over all-core overclocking
Levi Lewis
Thinking of a Ryzen build for moving my ganoo/loonix ssd and ext4 hdd to. Any recommendations?

Can't find motherboards that supports ddr3 ram.. Don't want't to buy ddr4 because ram is very expensive at this time.
