Alright should I get the Sapphire Nitro 590 or the Red Devil 590? also Amazon Prime or Newegg?
Adam Thompson
Lads will this run bf1 +30 fps on low
>R3 1200 >750ti >4GB RAM
Wanted to ask on /vg/ but the fucking range block is active again
Carter Morris
when do i buy stuff? help
Nathan Russell
Look at it...? it has like 5 times the metal. Powercolor uses some nice fans too, if my Red Dragon V56 is any indication.
Open it up and take a look.
>also Amazon Prime or Newegg? cheapest
I think so. idk. Should be similar to the 2200G with overclocked iGPU
Lucas Ward
ibuypower.com Are these deals good? Or is it a ripoff? Am I getting sold shitty Chinese parts?
Ryan Williams
Both same price. Which brand has better cooling Nitro or Red Devil?
Owen Ramirez
Fellas what's a decent PSU below 50 bucks
It would power a r3 1200 w/750ti so fairly low key build overall
Landon Stewart
>Which brand has better cooling Nitro or Red Devil? As far as I'm aware, they're roughly the same.
>9700k >2070 >8Gb of RAM >no SSD >$1500 -5% You would get about 95% the same performance with a 2600X and Vega56 for around $500 cheaper. Plus the games included. I wouldn't exactly recommend this build (needs cooler replaced at least), but through together as a price example: pcpartpicker.com/list/RY29vn The price for the components you get could be worse. But it's sub optimal if you goal is such and such FPS. >2700X >RX580 >2666 RAM >no SSD again >$1400 -5% Another massive ripoff. Use ur brain.
Also all those fucking >!!! on the site like some 45 year old mom who spams facebook with Minions memes wrote this
Well 750ti is supposedly close to 7850 so in terms of minimum requirements it comes close overall
I dislike nvidia gpu's in general but amd has nothing in that price range that even remotely compares to the 750ti
Andrew Adams
That PSU looks decent thanks. Do you know if they sell these in europe too by chance
Dominic Powell
It's Newegg's brand. Idk man look at PSUs and reviews and/or user reviews. Sometimes you can get a 280X for $50 or 50 euro.
Dominic Foster
B450M Mortar Micro vs Mortar Titanium, same price right now which one is better? I guess what makes a motherboard better than others in general, I also see the ASRock PRO4, Gigabyte DS3H at a similar price.
Yeah, my SSD is fucking terrible. I heard it was especially terrible later on after I bought it. Thanks for the advice user.
Jaxson Cox
>pcpartpicker.com/list/6WhqQZ >Best below 150$ motherboard and CPU cooler below 50? For CPU anything with gold on it. Black Friday is coming up so rather buy then you'll find a lot of good deals
Blake Ross
OP confirmed for fucking communisic AMD shill. Sick of these pathetic weebfags and their childish sense for justice.
Lucas Murphy
Gold?
Julian Long
Do most ryzen boards allow overclocking or is there a certain price point before it becomes a common feature?
quick rundown on buying used mining cards, what questions should i ask seller?
Chase White
>Gold? All PSUs are labeled bronze gold or platinum. There might be a silver I'm not sure. But get a gold. Its basically a quality grading
Brody Jones
>quick rundown on buying used mining cards, what questions should i ask seller? Is he gay? Also ask how much he lost in bitcoin. And when he tells you laugh your ass off and put down the phone. You can't trust a miner so asking him anything is pointless. Its a gamble
Elijah Brooks
Can we get some vega niggas to benchmark with ray tracung on? You just edit a config in documents to set it.
Rumored better performance than 2080ti
Christian James
How overkill would a GTX 1080 TI be? Should I just get a 1070 TI for half the price? I want my next machine to be able to run anything I throw at it on max and potentially run VR. The 1080 I'm considering is a Gigabyte AORUS for $1299 (AUD). There are fuck all other options for a 1080 by the looks of things and to be hoenst it's more than I want to spend on a single component, but if the upgrade is worthwhile then I'll probably go for it.
Between the two Mortars, it's only colour. As for the rest of them, Buildzoid does a video of his thoughts on various B450s. Other than that you have to research each individual product.
Eli Morales
>anyone who dares recommend a product not inline with my own branding preference must be a profit of the enemy! You should look in the mirror, faggot.
How much of a difference is there between 100hz and 120/144hz in terms of 24 fps media? Is having the refresh rate divisible more important or is general higher refresh good enough? I've only ever used 60hz monitors.
that blower vega 64 is going to be loud, unless you're fine with PS4 level noise
Gavin Nelson
750Ti should be just fine with medium preset, CPU will bottleneck in multiplayer, because it runs like shit on quad cores, OC would probably help a bit, 4GB RAM is also a problem, you can probably get away with it in single player but expect some freezes/long loadings, dunno about MP (game can utilize about 8GB on 64 servers)
So then it doesn't matter so much if the frames and refresh rate are divisible? I saw some things saying it helped reduce jutter, but I've only ever seen 60hz monitors so I don't really know much about higher refresh rates.
Justin Hill
>I already have a psu Sorry didn't read properly. Anyways deals are coming
Evan Howard
i5 9600k vs 2700x
Mostly gaming.
Jonathan Morris
I see some used open air 64's for similar prices on ebay. Is a a 56 good enough for 1440p 144hz with decent settings on most games, or is the 64 worth the upgrade?
Adam Nelson
What resolution?
Caleb Sanders
vega 56 is perfect for a 1440p freesync monitor
Xavier Turner
As long as it's a Freesync monitor, you'll be fine. 56 is worthwhile if you don't mind tweaking. If not, the Vega64 is already at 1070ti/1080 levels of performance out of the box. Even still if I had the V64, I'd be undervolting the thing.
Charles Edwards
If you're strictly talking about 24 fps content and are not running any codec that "increases the framerate" by adding in between frames then you're not going to notice any difference at all between 60 and 120 Hz panels
Nathaniel Miller
Any decent case under 70 euro? Looking for one easy to build in, that support two HDDs and 1 SDD and that won't turn a potential RX580 Nitro+ into an housefire with a shit airflow

Can do anything with this system and stay under 1000 usd or should i just save up a litte and buy new pc?
this will give you a better lifespan and upgrade path
Adam Hill
Only buy EVGA cards that are still under their RMA warranty. If the card is burned out you can just RMA it and get a new one.
Charles Cook
No you can't ya dummy. EVGA Warranty is non-transferrable. You can only use it if you're the original buyer, afaik. Doesn't make it a horrible service, though.
Fractal Focus G? The unremovable 5,25" bays are cancer but it's solid cheap with 2 good front fans included
Noah Foster
nzxt h500
Bentley Sanchez
it's not under 70 euro where i am though
James Butler
>The warranty follows the product and not the person. The warranty is available for a time period of no more than 3* years from the EVGA shipping date. Long term warranties, purchased extended warranties and EAR plans do not transfer. Registration of the product under another user's account is possible.
just google evga transfer warranty
Samuel Nelson
Upgrade gpu to something like 280x and youre fine. Definitely upgrade the psu too so it doesnt blow up. SSD will life make more tolerable when video editing so get that also.
Angel Price
R200 has a lot of space and holes, no dust filters though.
Jackson Peterson
Thoughts on this for a high quality 1080p build for under $900 after tax. Focus is on longevity, thermals, and gaming performance at 60 FPS going forward. pcpartpicker.com/list/743Fq4
Mobo/CPU are microcenter bundle priced. I went with the 550W platinum seasonic for quality and energy efficiency while the 25% off deal was running. However the estimated build calls for 315W I'm unsure if I'm underpowering it at 550 be sure it doesn't calculate the 4 fans on the Silverstone case. And if you're wondering why I'm going with the more expensive Sapphire ($250) over the red devil special ($220) is because the devil won't fit in any of the high air flow mesh cases I was choosing from. Also for the OS I am gonna try and get a cheap OEM key from kinguin but I've never not bought retail before nor do I know if there will be sales in the windows 10 for black Friday
Fractal Design Focus G should be around 50 merkels everywhere in EU Decent free space 2 decent front fans for intake already mounted, you need atleast 1 rear exhaust though removable dust filters everywhere Cons Manageable cables space in the back but there are easier cases to work them Not removable 5.25" bays if you don't need them, the fact you can't remove them without going hard way on them when all filters and HDDs cages are removable makes no sense SDD mount is in the back and you need to mount it before the PSU because it will cover the screws holes for it
I recently won an Aorus Ultra Z390 motherboard. What I'm wondering is if it's worth it to sell my current CPU/Mobo to buy an 8700K/9700K/9900K? The rest of my system should still be compatible, but I don't really use much more than 8 threads, so I don't know. I was thinking about selling the motherboard to upgrade my current system, but there's not much more I'd want to upgrade at this point. Any suggestions? Please no Ryzen suggestions. When it comes time for me to get off 8 threads, I'll consider what's best for the money, likely Ryzen seeing how things are going at the moment, and upgrade from there.
Brody Wright
Any idea where I can pick up new Noctua NH-U12DO A3 coolers?
Hunter Bennett
My bad. So I guess you have to make an account and register the product under your name. Then you have to add the details like your address, email, invoice etc. Now comes the fun part: The invoice that you upload doesn't have YOUR name on it. Do they easily transfer warranty with such discrepancies? I legitimately want to know why a company would actually go through with such a procedure.
Jacob Clark
Asking again this small hard disk died in my laptop. Can I buy SSD and slot in place? Do they have the same socket?
9700k or 8400, the only 2 intel cpus worth buying.
Brandon Foster
if i only play dwarf fortress should i get a 2080 ti or will i be fine with a 2080?
Sebastian Peterson
I'd go with a 2600X and a decent B450 or midrange X470.
Camden Hill
>$60 for 1-2 FPS difference in real world case use for same htz ram Fucking why
Tyler Powell
>8400 lfmao >9700k Why bother? 8700 and 8700k makes more sense than that thing. 9700k should only be considered if it's the same as the 8th gen i7.
David Smith
Just go with a 2080. If it's not enough, get a second one with NV link
Evan Carter
because you buy intel cpu for single core perfromance and hyperthreading makes single core performance worse. There is a reason why everyone with 8700k disable hyperthreading when playing games using less than 6 cores. Might as well save yourself a hassle and just get 9700k which has better single core and multicore performance.
Mason Rodriguez
put your trip back on
Matthew Cruz
the 1080 came out like 3 years ago
Jonathan Parker
and 2070 came out like a month ago and its still worse than 1080 lol
Dominic Edwards
>because you buy intel cpu for single core perfromance and hyperthreading makes single core performance worse Yet that single core performance can be achieved with a cheaper 2600 setup. The only argument that could've been made for the 8400 was when it couldn't be touched for the money. Since two months ago, theres been absolutely no place on the market for that thing with cheap 2600s and B450 boards. >There is a reason why everyone with 8700k disable hyperthreading when playing games using less than 6 cores Unequivocally false. Even Battlefield uses more than half a dozen threads. >Might as well save yourself a hassle and just get 9700k which has better single core and multicore performance By spending more with margin of error improvements?
Tyler Anderson
and? I bought my 1080 so long ago I'm not gonna cry about a $350 card beating it three years later
This Fractal Design Focus G looks quite nicely for just 50 euros Gonna consider it
David Nguyen
youtube.com/watch?v=8qkXKmpOWa0 Battlefield is literally the only game that gets better fps with hyperthreading. In every other case having hyperthreading off is actually better.
Cameron White
this isn't linus tech tips therefore it isn't valid
Back again looking for opinions on the U2715H. It is looking more and more like this will be what I purchase, I would have gone for a newer model, or even the latest ones in the UltraSharp series, but they all have significantly worse input lag.
If you own this monitor, I'd love to hear your opinions on it. If you know a 1440p, 27 inch IPS monitor under or 500 dollars flat I would also love to hear it (mbest isn't an option where I live sadly)
I think the previous owner would have to transfer the warranty to the new owner. Never done it but another user suggested buying used EVGAs to minimize the risk.
Tyler Wright
XB271HU
Austin Collins
700 dollars.
Aiden Murphy
also it is one of the ugliest monitors I've ever seen. Normally I don't care AT ALL about the presentation of a monitor, but this is appalling.
