Looking for a 27in 1440p 60fps monitor for basic computer stuff, videos. I have a GTX 1080, i7 6700k and an Asus Rog Swift PG279Q as a primary monitor. Any Suggestions?
Carson Fisher
Big maybe, you would get a better chip and a better cooler but those 50 dollarydoos could go into a bigger SSD or 8 to 16gb of ram.If you already had the 16 gb of ram and 1tb SSD and still had 50$ to spare i would get a 3600 and a big cooler like scythe mugen 5 just because i have the 2600x with the wraith spire and while the temps are fine the sound is a bit annoying. That's just my opinion.
Ethan Morris
I need a Keyshot + Rhinoceros 3D machine around $2000
Shall I pick a Xeon Machine or wait for new Ryzen?

Connor Wilson
Copypasta from sqt: If I get an NVMe drive, will it effect the performance of my GPU as it's PCIe and might take up valuable bandwidth...? Also, are there any mobo limitations to NVMe or will any shitty board with an M2 slot support 3500MB/s?
You really think that's the same guy? Do you really believe there's only one anti-intel person on Jow Forums?
William Young
Try asking support of who you got it from. I've never heard of anything like that.
If you don't mind stutters, yeah.
We don't know yet. Probably not since 3600 looks like it gains a lot of performance from enabling PBO.
He actually made that post himself about being banned, while evading a ban, just so he could screenshot it and claim it's someone else. It's a false flag.
Nathan Bell
reposting 2060 prices at geishalz zotac amp 2060 non super starting price was 400eur for comparison.
Making a MicroATX build, should I go for the Meshify C Mini or Define C Mini?
I want good airflow but I also want it to be fairly quiet
Kayden Harris
kek gamersnexus actually added an undervolted and oc'd vega 56 to their benchmarks in the super review video, fuckers must have been desperate to claw back some enthusiast clout
that said, the benchmarks showed that the vega 56 is blowing the 2060 basic out of the water and more or less on par with the 2060s which is pretty impressive
William Collins
Got a link? This would make me feel better about my Vega purchase
Samuel Gray
which gpu should i pick either 5700 or 5700 XT? my cpu is Intel Xeon E3 1231 v3 @ 3.40GHz Haswell-WS 22nm Technology is it a bottle neck? i dont want nvidia because poor linux support
How garbage is it ? Trying a build for the first time, wanna have something strong for the next few years for gaming. Dont know if I will be able to stream with this setup though
James Rodriguez
I just bought a 2080 for 699$ but I have 14 days to return it. Should I and buy the new one?
>pretty impressive Is it really all that consequential when the supers are more or less being launched on their price competitiveness rather than pure performance? Genuinely asking, I'm not too familiar with AMD's range.
Luke Wilson
>is it impressive that you can buy a card right now that can compete with the latest and greatest for £300 BRAND NEW and potentially close the gap even further if you get samsung memory (which gamersnexus didn't test, just a good generic OC which most people are using) even though said card is EOL and 2 years old I see what you're saying but yes, it is impressive
Lincoln Russell
you could go mesh and get 2 be quiet fans
Jack Adams
>the benchmarks showed that the vega 56 is blowing the 2060 basic out of the water Stop lying. Vega is losing to every single game except some vulkan or amd sponsored ones.
Xavier Cruz
>losing yeah by like 3 frames despite the 2060 being brand new if you're 18 and a 30 year old cripple can bench 225 while you're being 230 then you're getting mogged hard
Kayden Ortiz
So how are Navi expected to stand up if the 1070 equivalent (?) can beat the 2060 super (aka 2070 mini)?
Nolan Gray
5700 xt was better than the 2070 so it might be on par with the 2070 super but I highly doubt it, 5700 will probably get raped by the 2060 super though
Leo Hill
wait for zen 3 reviews, 8 threads won't be enough for gaming and streaming
>lways choose at least a two stick kit; 2x 8GB is recomm
No. the first PCIE lane is X16 for graphics. and the M.2 connector is x4, so thats 20 total, unless you have a 10 year old system running older pcie, you wont notice any difference.
to take full advantage of your m.2 drive, check that it is X4 or ULTRA. if its X3 or X2 then it cant get the maximum speed of 4GBPS.
Josiah Hughes
They're making a "refresh" of the 2080, whereas the 2080 ti already exists.
Brody Baker
Are you retarded? 1650/900 is already chocking the card and needs +200% power target to run
Brody Morales
And what would they call the 2080? 2080Ti?
Joseph Anderson
Thank you, but are you referring to the drive itself? It's the 970 EVO Plus so it's listed as X4 and the mobo is the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC.
Gabriel Miller
i did as well im gonna sit on it till last 2-3 days then return it and pick up a high end model 2080s they slapped a 100$ off original 2080 price so it should be a better buy
Austin Hernandez
In other words, as long as the mobo supports the nvme drive the nvme drive itself is the only limiting factor since like you said, any crap mobo has more than x20 (assuming you can count that way and just add 16+16+1+1+1).
Leo Hernandez
How much would you guys pay for a used gtx 1080 mini? I was thinking $300 USD is pretty fair
Thomas Morris
Because the base 2070 is getting the bullet
Logan Perry
£0 for me, its the 2070 super
Eli Hernandez
I already have the asus strix version of the 2080 do you think its worth keeping?
Jason Long
But you can’t even get a 2060 for $300
Wyatt Russell
sorry pal I need that rtx (tm) goodness
Adrian Rodriguez
Strix 2080 is the same version i have but seeing the performance increase from 60 and 70 S make me think if i should have just waited.Plus we might have to wait a month after 2080s is released to get the strix version of it its ultimately up to you if you can wait.
Liam Collins
I have a 280x with 8gb ddr3 ram, if I want to upgrade to 16 is it a waste to spend the money on it at this point when I know I'll have to upgrade other things in the future and get on ddr4? I dont care about anything higher than 1080p gaming.
>retailers in Australia saying they won't have stock until the middle of the month
just fucking kill me bros
Evan Cooper
i7 9th gen + RTX 2070 super Dunno wether to stick with 1080p for 144+fps at highest settings, or go with 1440p but with much lower settings in order to get the most FPS possible. Main worry with 1440p is that I'll have games running at 120+fps and some running at 60fps, and i've heard that once you hit 120+ going back down is the same as going from 60 to 30. (This is compared to 1080 in which every game can be run at 120+ with no issue)
Jose Davis
Go with a 1440p 144hz if you're getting a 2070 Super
Ethan Wright
Daily reminder that amd = pajeets.
Pajeets shit into their water supply before they drink it, therefore, amd users drink and bathe in shit water.
The previous pcbg was removed because amd pajeets couldn't accept their nature. The only thing that distracts them from their body odor is shitposting about how the 3600 will beat the 9900k.
If you have a 144hz monitor already and feel you're attached to getting 144fps at all times, it's not worth upgrading to 1440p monitor if you don't want to go below 144fps ultra.
Liam Watson
I have a 1080p 60hz currently, thats why i'm unsure if I should make the jump or not. I'm told both going 1440p and 144hz are hard to go back from in their own rights. I also play a mix of games with some favouring the highest fps possible and some just favouring graphics.
Austin Cooper
pcpartpicker.com/list/MmtHw6 Obviously, I'm gonna replace the 2060 with a 2060 super, but will super work well with the rest of these parts?
Ryder Morgan
If the games you play requiring high frame rates are competitive type games I can't stress enough the difference 144hz vs 60hz can make on your aim in a FPS for example. I'm trying to play on a 60hz setup at the moment while my gayming rig is ded and waiting for Ryzen 3000s to build a new one, and it's fucking awful.
Josiah Martin
1440p 144hz, easily doable m8 worst case scenario you'll step down on one or two settings on really unoptimized aaa trash
Liam Baker
With a gsync/compatible freesync monitor the smoothness is bumped up when you run at ~90 on a 144hz compared to ~45 on a 60hz, even leaving aside the fact that diminishing returns at higher fps means the difference is less noticeable. 1440p 144hz is a bit more expensive than 1080 144hz, so if you don't feel confident with the benchmarks you see of the 9700k+2070 super on youtube or review sites, it might make sense to go for a 1080 144hz for less than 300 dollars rather than spend 500 or more on a 1440p 144hz that you won't get the full 144hz on consistently enough to justify it in your opinion. There are however monitors out there that are 1440p but a frame rate between 60 and 144hz, like 75hz or 100hz, and those are definitely achievable by a 2070 super for the next few years at high settings. But once again, it's up to you to decide if the 2070 super gets enough FPS at 1440p to justify it in your opinion. I would say that it probably would, and it would make more sense to spend on upgrading just your graphics card when a new generation or two comes out down the road than it would be to have to upgrade both monitor and gpu.

Angel Gutierrez
Thanks lads, i'll start looking into good 1440p 144hz monitors that are either gsync or freesync with gsync compatability.
Luis Reyes
so the vegas are now completely worthless, right?
2060 super blows the 64 out of the fucking water
Jayden James
Vega 56 is still viable as long as you can find it for cheap. This isn't true for every country in the world.
I would go 1440p 144Hz as it can be used in a future, beefier build, but if you're on a tight budget, just go with that 1440p 95Hz monitor. Big dicked resolution plus medium dicked inverted seconds is better than small dicked resolution and big dicked Hertz.
Jaxon Harris
I was thinking of doing that too, but all of the good 1440p 144hz monitors that aren't TN trash are expensive as fuck
Oliver Rivera
pixio probably, 27" 1440p is a better fit than 1080p and you get ips too
Bentley Turner
>ban evader Oh look, user's having a schizo episode
James Cruz
>Europe >Vega 56 - at most €275+shipping from Amazon.de >2060 (not super) >€350
Of course the new super cards may be a good deal in the US but I don't think they beat Vega's price-performance ratio in the EU.
Carson Cook
Sapphire Rx 570 mini itx 133€ new is a steal. Worth as much as a 1050 but with much better performance.
Leo Taylor
>Used Alienware M18x R2 for $100 a good parts buy? I know it's old but it should still hold up okay for the price. Seller says he fucked with the video card heat sinks to fix a problem that is probably just a frayed ribbon cable so if he didn't break it worse it might just work with a new cable.
>Update: found out from the seller's new feed that the video card heat sink repasting was in 2014. Not sure why he decided after 5 years he didn't want to mess with it anymore.
Threadly reminder to all /pcbg/ OP makers to add to the copypasta the following URL: imgur.com/a/RTbKAxD after >PLAN YOUR BUILD AROUND YOUR MONITOR IF GAMING
Vega 56 is not cheaper than the normal 2060 in Canada right now. And even when it is, it's barely $30 CAD less. Vega's prices are extremely variable by region.
how much worse is the pixel density on a 32 inch 1440p monitor vs 27 inch?
Hudson Garcia
why would you want to overclock a highend CPU on a lowish motherboard?
Wyatt Phillips
I am the reddit guy
Cooper Sanchez
That's not the point of the list though, obviously you want a higher end motherboard if you have a 3900X, but it's just denoting that you can still overclock on that board because it has good enough VRMs
Samuel Robinson
My computer powers on but it won't boot. Fans are spinning, motherboard lights are on, getting a single POST beep (long?) which I believe means all checks have succeeded, but there is no video output. The issue is definitely from either the motherboard or the processor but I can't figure out which one. How can I troubleshoot this?
Lincoln Cruz
Check and see if your card is plugged in correctly
John Roberts
>Check Display Cable >Check card >Check drivers >Check bios in that order
Jose Ross
>useful info ins't useful because it's from reddit Wow imagine being this much of a smoothbrain.
Sebastian Peterson
Even if it's useful info reddit is still cringe and every redditor is a fag
It's definitely not the graphics card since it did the same thing in a different PC. I reused the motherboard and processor from that PC so it must be caused by one of the two. It's not the display cable or GPU, I can't check the drivers or BIOS because it's not booting at all.
