regular 2080 isn't discounted. at best you're going to get one for 660 and then it's from KFA2 or PNY or some other shit brand i wouldn't trust my money.
for an average user there isn't much of a difference between mx500 and 860 evo but for servers that need to transfer massive amounts of data on a daily basis it makes a big difference get whichever's the cheapest
when they finish fleecing as much people as they can

depends what type of video editing we're talking here is it professional 1440p/4k stuff or just for youtube it's okay for non professional uses but if you are a prosumer then you shouldn't even be considering 128Gb to begin with
His cherry pick shows actual CPU bottleneck. Yours shows a game being GPU bound in all three scenarios but you're too retarded to probably notice this.
Adrian Hall
Its for travel, you nerd. I don't give a shit about the price relative to big boy boards.
for some reason I want to build a Radeon compute server any ideas? no I'm not mining crypto

Help a boomer out there.

5700xt exists you know

Why is it so fucking hard to find GPU reviews that actually benchmark popular games that you might actually play and enjoy for longer than 5 hours instead of some fucking dead on arrival AAA shovelware like Tomb Raider or Forza Horizon due to some retarded "impartiality".
because they have to find games that don't just run at 1000fps because your hardware is irrelevant on those games as long as it's not 10 years old
Hudson Brooks
if you're on a non-professional use then truly TBW isn't even a concern your concern should be having higher capacity because ssd tends to become real slow as they get filled up youtube.com/watch?v=OffzVc7ZB-o
Adam Howard
Jokes on you. Forza 4 is the only game I have any interest in playing right now.
Zachary Gomez
Because then you might realize you don't need to spend $1000 on the latest shiny?
Sebastian Martinez
Looking for a second monitor. Mainly for browsing and background content. It'll be of to the side of my desk so I should go ips for good viewing angles right? preferably 24'' 1920x1080 and I have a 1050ti. Are there any good options for around €120 - €150? Should I look for used?
Leo Edwards
do you have the wheel and pedals controllers? is it worth the money on 24"?
Jonathan Gray
>6 years as a boot drive, 2 years as a scratch drive >muh endurance ratings
is aliexpress a reliable place to buy gpu? or they just rebrand old models?
Dominic Smith
Explain to me how 128 or 130 fps are not enough.
Ryan Taylor
>is aliexpress a reliable place no
Gavin Murphy
I don't think there is a reasonable alternative for 1440p/144hz tho. >hurr just buy a mined out, uhm, i mean used 1080Ti >hurr you should have bought a 1080Ti for 650 bucks 2 years ago >lol are you fucking retarded? why would you be an early adopter? wanna be a beta tester? >just get a 5700XT that will be too weak in 2 years and is already too weak i unoptimized games today >lol just turn down some settings to low
Jonathan Lewis
Would a rx 5700 bottleneck if paired with a i5 4960?
Adrian Cruz
The duopoly is about to end Welcome the free market
lol why do you have that locked 4 thread shit you got memed pretty bad huh
Samuel White
I already bought a 250gb mx500 and a 1tb hdd
Jackson Taylor
You buy an expensive 144hz monitor and underutilize it
Jason Walker
>7nm >225W power consumption >Literally destined to be a housefire Sorry I don't want to be some sort of nitpicky cunt but temperatures and noise to me are basically as important as actual performance and Navi launch is a complete fuck up in that regard.
Owen Murphy
>an expensive 144hz monitor They all have adaptive sync making your argument void
look for used. lots of offices get rid of monitors after a short amount of time, and sell good screens for cheap. i got a $200 monitor for $110, unopened.
Chase Rodriguez
haven't played it yet, but I had forza horizon 2 on the 360 thought about getting a wheel back then but never got around to it, couldn't bring myself to shell out the cash for a decent one probably the same thing will happen again this time
Evan Morgan
What's the point of benchmarking non-AAA games which usually run on every toster?
Lucas King
AdoredTV has committed channel suicide ripperoni. >MFW I actually want a driving setup with VR. Honestly as I'm learning to drive if there was a haptic feedback kit I'd fully try and get a kitted out driver set. [spoiler]if I actually had any money at all[/spoiler]
the 5700xt consumes about the same amount of power as the 2070 and way less power than the 2080, 1080ti, etc
Jaxson Jenkins
AAA games run on my Ryzen APU
Cry more bitch
Jonathan Rodriguez
about 6 months I think it's the very next thing coming out
James Hernandez
The more I think about it, the more 1440p seems like a scam. A good 24'' 1080p 144Hz monitor paried with 1080ti / 2070S / 2080S will easily last you 5-6 years of playing AAA titles on high-ultra. In comparison, most $400-500 GPUs will be obsolete in 3 years top at 1440p.
Carter Butler
at high-ultra? You're getting consolenigger quality when you set graphical settings to low and struggle to get 30 fps.
Camden Butler
>about 6 months I think Thanks! That may be too long, as I literally only had a laptop for the past 3 years.
Guess I'll just go with budget build for half a year, instead of $5000 I wanted.
Christopher Morris
Any good passively cooled video cards? Gaming is not a consideration at all but it should be able to handle x265 video at high res.
Christian Kelly
>buy new pc >still no good games on Linux Steam why?
Gabriel Hernandez
i've had a 1440p monitor and video card to play games on it since 2010. you can get even better performance by turning the res down to some lower 16:9 setting on your 1080p screen lol
Joshua Martin
After 12 years at 24" 1080p tho i just couldn't stand it anymore. Then i bought the 27" screen on sale for 400 bucks and figured that even if 1440p was too demanding i could just lower it to 1080p and it wouldn't be a big deal since people are buying 27" 1080p screens and i've been using it all these years and 144hz is still nice regardless. Then i actually did turn down res to 1080p just to try it and i almost wanted to fucking shoot myself it looked so pixelated. I'd rather go back to 24" 1080p than turn down the resolution.
David Nguyen
check evga b stock. they usually have a good selection of passive cards in various sizes sub $50 anything remotely recent is fine for video playback
Josiah Bell
I've had it for 5 years, back when i7s were still considered to be unnecessary. I'm grimacing at the total cost of a whole new build and hoping I can extend the life of this system a little while longer.
Austin Miller
>paying for it
Asher Thomas
I need a 1440p freesync monitor tell me what to buy
Christian Sullivan
>I'd rather go back to 24" 1080p than turn down the resolution. so unless you change your gpu frequently, your only two choices are getting sluggish 1440p or getting a 1080p screen?
Matthew Lopez
Obrigado.
Ayden Butler
Is there any danger a different brand PSU won't fit in my old case? Both my old PSU and case were Coolermaster.
Jace Hill
As long as it's the same form factor you should be fine, there are standards for this very reason ya know
Matthew Williams
no, I imagine it's a standard case either atx mid or full tower every psu fits in those
William Moore
pcpartpicker.com/list/XgVm4q Does this look serviceable for babby's first gaming build? I just want to play Monster Hunter in 1080p and that's just not happening on a laptop
Grayson Green
PSUs are built to a form factor unless they're proprietary bullshit. Any PSU matching the case form factor will fit.
Camden Ward
Or you just bite the bullet and get an almost-flagship like an 80/ti card every 4-5 years, if you absolutely have to play at maxed settings instead of tweaking them yourself by disabling shit you think looks like shit(blur, dof, chromatic aberration) or turn down settings that don't make a noticeable difference. varies greatly from game to game of course.
James Foster
Reposting from old thread: is the 1050ti the fastest low profile GPU I can buy?
Camden Taylor
Is windows 1903 still shit or safe to install now?
Grayson Anderson
or you could just lower the settings from ultra to very high and enjoy years and years of AAA shit. I'd take 1440p on high over 1080p on ultra, without question.
Caleb Russell
1080 is not a good deal unless you got it from a friend or something you could get a 5700xt or one of the new nvidia cards for the same price
Colton Martinez
I'm getting fucking paranoid about planned obsolescence, plus I'm on a budget and can't afford getting the wrong part and by any chance not being able to return it.
Carter Ward
anything more than 500$ gpu every 7-8 years is already too much for me
Christopher Lee
go 2600 instead of 2600x get yourself some 3200MHz cl16 ram instead don't know much about MH but check if a radeon 580 isn't already more than enough
Julian Baker
i have sought again to no avail does anyone have any sharpening benchmarks for the rx 5700 gpus? i only found one for hardware unboxed and since they are shills anyway i wanted to confirm it might be amazing anyway
