I'm the same user asking about if I should upgrade my vega64 because of hellblade performance (and worry about performance is newer games). I mentioned that I had stuttering in re2 remake. 1440p maxed out settings. It would randomly drop to like 30 or 40 fps for a second or two. I had the same issues in hellblade even when running on low. webm related. any ideas?
My idea to remove all the brands from the OP was best. But the shills on both sides thinks that just putting there names in the OP will lead to more sales.
>>Avoid AMD if doing serious high FPS gaming Avoid intel CPUs in literally every other task. Why is OP filled with all intel shit especially after YET ANOTHER major security vulnerability was uncovered that Intel attempted to pay hush money to downplay?
Evan Myers
What is this joke of an OP? Are you the literal paid pajeet intel shill?
Also >AMD cards only offer midrange performance and require their own power plant >Nvidia cards with high performance are overpriced to hell and back thanks to performance monopoly and dedicated cores just for poopersampling and raytrashing, also Nvidia are as uncoorporative as ever
Adam White
Intel shitters are working overtime, damage control and all that.
Wait and see what Zen2 is like, there's only like 10 days. Zen+ should be going on sale more around then too.
Lucas Miller
Would buy a GTX 1670 if it existed. Don't wanna pay extra for useless sampling and tracing in the RTX 2070, and the 1660 Ti just isn't quite enough of an upgrade over my GTX 970. Twice the frames would be nice. Take note, Nvidia.
at least Huang doesnt compromise your security while trying to sell you outdated tech but again, "wait for Navi" and RTX refresh and price drop... 2 more months
I put together my pc in early 2015, so I'm thinking it might be time to put some new pieces in it. I need some advice on my cpu and gpu though. I live in the benelux, if that matters.
gpu: R9 280 3gb. I paid around 150 or so euro for it back in the day. I'm not looking for anything more than 1080p gaming, so I'd probably be fine with another budget card, but I haven't kept up with what's on the market at all. cpu: i5-4440. It honestly feels fine. Do I even need to upgrade this if 1080p gaming is about the most intensive thing I do? I'm also gonna get an extra 8gb of ram to get to 16gb total, and a 500gb ssd to run alongside my current hdd. I'm looking to (ideally) spend a max of 400 euro.
Also, probably a stupid question, what's a way to pinpoint which part of my pc is making noise? I'm pretty sure one of the fans and/or the hdd is pretty noisy at idle, but I haven't checked which one exactly yet. I want to say it's the gpu fans, because it gets realy noticibly louder when I'm running a game.
Noah Reed
WAIT Otherwise go full retard with the cheapest config, which is probably intel since you can pull it off with el cheapo mobo and ram and get the same gayman experience
Joshua Davis
2060 cost is about proportional to its performnace gains over 1660 also you've waited too long instead of selling your card on ebay and buying Pascal
Jaxson Allen
>what's a way to pinpoint which part of my pc is making noise? Try each component one at a time and see. If you suspect the HDD, move a big fat file from one place to another. If you think it's the GPU, run a benchmark or something.
Nolan Gutierrez
why does amd have 0 matx boards that are good
Hudson Barnes
Are bottleneck sites trustworthy? 2400G & 1070 pairing shows 15-20% bottleneck with minor FPS loss. Should I get 1060 6GB in that case, because I won't upgrade CPU and RAM (2x4GB at 2666MHz) until fall?
Jace Parker
Is the site trying to sell you anything via referral links? Then no.
Leo Johnson

Ryan Ross
CPU will bottleneck any new card. There's some room for doing things in your budget, for example you could buy an i5-4690K from Ebay and a Radeon RX 590 and sell the 4440 for forty bucks afterwards, but I don't know whether this will run a risk of blowing up your motherboard chipset if overclocked, or blowing up your power supply.
Ryan Sanders
Because OP is hiding the best option for most people:
Get a 2700 or 2600 and a used EVGA 1080ti for 450 with a couple years of warranty remaining. Built my 2700 1080ti 32GB RAM for sub $1k USD. If you do any video editing, 32GB RAM is worth it, and you will use it, plus you can get a decent 3200/C16 32GB kit for around 120 now if you look around, so there's no reason to be stingy about it.
Jaxon Gray
What do you thing /PCBG/? Bout to pull the trigger on this
I used pc-builds.com & gpucheck.com and both recommended to get at least 16GB of RAM to work well and better CPU, but all I want is to play Nier Automata and Sekiro 1080p/60fps without huge framedrops and stuttering.
William Lopez
>listened to the shills and got vega you have only yourself to blame.
Wyatt Lewis
Any recommends about monitors which have high dpi?
What do you think about DELL P2415Q?
Isaac Rogers
IEEE says the point of hard diminishing returns is 2 pixels/arcsec, with 1/arcsec being the point of soft diminishing returns. Buy accordingly.
Jayden Rodriguez
Do you troll me?
Grayson Anderson
>3.5'' drive get a 1TB SSD instead >RX 580 that card is worthless, go for the Vega 56 >R5 2600 2600x or bust >3000mhz go for 3200mhz, not much of a price difference, don't forget to check it the mobo supports it though
Jackson Brown
No? They did testing on it since one would logically think the limit is at 1 pixel/arcsec but the point of hard diminishing terms in sensation of realness was found to be at 2 instead.
Jose Howard
Is there some site where I can compare my computer stats, so I know that they work fine together?
Eli Clark
Recommend me monitors, please. Which would you buy?
Julian Reed
How far do you sit from your monitors? Do you intend to watch any 4K UHD blu rays on it? Do you do photography work or video work in the DCI-P3 colour space?
Landon Wright
fuck off im broke
Ethan Wright
I think I sit not really far.
Nathaniel Sanchez
Then keep saving, faggot. Budget builds aren't worth it.
Anthony Wood
hope that mount is very sturdy and flexible
Samuel Powell
How bad of a bottleneck are we talking? I'm expecting 1080p at 60fps at most, so my requirements aren't exactly sky high.
I've been browsing ebay for cheap ram and gpu's, but I've never bought pc components second hand before and I'm a bit wary of doing so.
William Harris
I want a very decent monitor for work as a programmer.
Sometimes I play FPS games.
Oliver White
if its only fps games you could look for 144 or 240hz 1080p monitors, affordable and very life like, plus its not hard to max them with a mid tier card
Wyatt White

Justin Ward
I can buy it as a second monitor for FPS games tho, thanks

wats better for gaems 2600x or 2700? i can OC manually n shit
Jack Miller
Yeah? 2600X + 580 does that fine? Especially for non-AAA games.
Hudson Peterson
grab the 2600x, no advantages whatsoever in the 2700/x for gaming
Mason Ross
I do, but not for people like you. You dug your own grave, who am I to undo your hard work.
Juan Ward
Whatever, it's your money, not mine.
Oliver Peterson
Grab the 2600, it's the exact same as the X once you overclock it
Unless you really really want the stock cooler that comes with the 2600X
Camden Thomas
im not him dude
Jayden Barnes
>it's the exact same as the X once you overclock it Oh please, stop being delusional. Most 2600 can't even hit 4.0.

>uses 5.5GB of VRAM yep you are right, nobody should be scammed into beliving 6GB is not enough and that only vega is their option at 1440p let alone 1080p.

All New GPU Architecture in 7nm with "Navi" So what did AMD mean by this?
Putting EK waterblocks on two evga RTX gpus. Blue squares is where EK manual suggests putting thermal pads on the backplate. Top piece is the original plate.
It seems that evga puts pads where the capacitors are on the bottom of the board, while EK puts them where mosfets and such are on the top of the board.
Should I be concerned about this? The evga backplate has more than enough thermal pads, I could reuse them.
>hotspot 95C I can see why you tried to hide it. Even with an undervolt it still is hot.
Elijah Thomas
I have this old guy, I've tested the power supply and it works. I'm trying to upgrade and keep the costs down so I'm wondering I can keep the power supply, the case and the DVD reader (not shown) the motherboard is a micro ATX ASRock B450M. Will I be able to fit that shit into this case?

I still have HT enabled on my 9900k and haven't noticed anything This new meme is shit
Jeremiah Reyes
EVGA is known for going overboard with thermal pads. Why not just use the original backplate?
Ian Parker
Welcome to MODERN MANUFACTURING AKA "It's fine so long as it just looks like a normal metal screw, right?"
Gavin Gonzalez
True, but it's not my computer or parts. If it has itself some melty metal time and fizzles, I don't want them coming to me about it.
Mason Torres
>So 6* cooler. ? >You can't possibly know if it is or isn't. I can easily look up youtube videos of people running the radeon 7 at the RPM that is shown in your little screenshot.
>It's time to stop posting, friend.
Jaxson Sullivan
Then take a guitar pick and gently transplant the extra thermal pads onto the new backplate.
Landon Fisher
>easily look up Ok, link me one that has it running at 1600rpm and show me how loud it is, I'll wait.
