How does one OC a 5700 xt

The Sabrent Rocket is not the cheapest 500GB NVMe option in my country's market. The Crucial P1 and SX8200 Pro are, so how do you rate these two compared to the Rocket, in performance?
Ayden Nelson
ATTENTION: Graphics card prices are excessive by historical standards; therefore, consumers should delay or completely forgo any midrange to high end graphics card purchases. The gouging has two root causes: lack of market competition and shortage/"new normal" pricing during the mining hayday.

Guys, I'm using a x570 mobo with 3700X, didn't plug the CPU_PWR2 power connector, only the 8 (4 + 4) for the CPU_PWR1. Is it ok? Mobo is msi pro carbon btw
Asher Foster
yes, only the 8 pin is needed
Kayden Parker
Decent x570 mobo with a ps/2 port support?
Nicholas Ross
5700xt is £50 more than 5700, is it worth it if I’m only sticking to 1080p?
Isaiah Stewart
Thanks, some people claims it can fried some mobo components. Thats bs right?

Jow Forums keeps telling me to avoid Corsair PSU but the RMx 2018 is currently on sale for a good price and it's on the high end tier. Otherwise I'm looking at the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold for almost 40$ more.
Kevin Gonzalez
5700xt then. Now a lot of people don't do this, but I personally consider upgrades like this
Upgrade card performance and price - your current GPU performance and 0 cost.
Based on this you sometimes realize that not upgrading is better and cards are not worth it. Or that you need a certain level of GPU performance before it becomes worth it. In this case the more expensive gpu that performs better, actually gives you more performance for your money, as it's a bigger ugprade.
So this is an extremely exagerate example, but instead of paying 300$ for 10fps more compared to your current gpu you pay 400$ for 20fps more compared to your current gpu
But that's just me.

Lads, Asus 27" TUF VG27AQ is in stock now and the LG ultra gear is more than a month away.
Yes. how? I have a curved monitor, don't make me worry like this
Sebastian Stewart
I am autistic so having beige fans in my 100% black PC case is unacceptable, unfortunately I am of the strong belief that the Noctua NH-D15 is the best CPU cooler in the entire world.
Please prove me wrong so that I can maintain my stealth aesthetic.
Fractal Design Meshify S2 with 9 of Fractals black 140mm fans, it'd be cool to match.
William Parker
dude just buy their overpriced black fan replacements for the cooler lmao

After a couple of months averaging 5 hours of screen time a day, I sat down at my brothers pc to check on an issue and that is when I noticed that his screen bent backwards in my eyes.
It was at that point that I realized that the difficulty with focusing my sight at range and peripheral view wasn't caused by the crappy mandatory safety glasses that we got issued at work, which started around the same time I got my curved monitor. I had that one for a year, and it took maybe two months for me to recover and start seeing things straight again. I didn't notice the issue sooner since all the monitors at work are 4:3 19" or whatever size, and I dont watch tv. Quite scary how uneven our world really is.
Gabriel Bailey
Would a 27' 1440p screen be fine if I'm sitting roughly around 76 cm away?
Colton Gray
I put a white psu in my black case with brown fans and white fans and blue water cooling with red ram

Sup lads, I'm trying to instal Windows 7 on my newly built machine (Asus Z370-i, i5 9600K) because holy shit fuck W10, but I can't get past the language selection screen. Mouse and keyboard both work in bios but they stop working as soon as I choose to boot from the USB installer so I can't do anything at all, the mouse even turned all its lights off. They are connected to USB 2.0 ports, any ideas?
>1500-roughly 1800 USD >mostly gaming >don't know any good monitor Here's what I built so far, I know 2080s is a bit overkill for 1440, but whatever. pcpartpicker.com/list/76kq6s
Jack Bell
Sit down a few hours on yours, then switch to a flat monitor (preferably about the same size).
If you don't notice anything like that, then you may be immune to such eye defects or whatever you call them.
Luke Peterson
you need to inject USB 3.0 drivers into your windows 7 install.
Matthew Morris
>They are connected to USB 2.0 ports >you need to inject USB 3.0 drivers ????
Jackson Butler
Well I haven't noticed such problems yet, but who is to say I am just not paying attention enough. minre is a 24inch curved, what about you?
Carter Wilson
>hardware compatibility being shit in Windows 7. Wow I’m shocked. I have to use that outdated piece of shit at work so I just remote into a Win 10 VM to actually get anything done
Tyler Martin
Where the fuck can I get Thaiphoon Burner? Their official website seems to be dead and every 3rd party place I find actually just links back there.
I have a new Ryzen system and want to have a look at my RAM. I have a 3200CL15 kit, according to information I can find online it's B-die, but I'd like to confirm it myself, what with B-die usually coming in the 3200CL14 instead of 15 flavor.
Yes. Literally no content is created and/or rendered with the intention of being displayed on a curved surface. We used to call it "geometric distortion" in the CRT days and it was an undesirable side effect of how they worked and/or were built, now it's a fancy "feature" to separate retards from money.
Elijah Allen
user, don't ask, just do it. I am serious.
whats wrong with windows 7?
Jayden Sanders
>don't ask, just do it Okay then, care to tell me how to do it?
Easton Butler
LG 27GL850-B and Asus VG27AQ is the name of the game right now. Or if you are a man of patrician taste, any of those 4K 144hz monitors will do.
32", think it was a 1800R curve.
Might be related to that, since it envelopes your view quite a lot more.
Xavier Reyes
Either use your motherboards tool for it. Or google some usb 3.0 injector and use it on your windows installer, even microsoft should have one. Ideally as said before you use the motherboards drivers for that but generic stuff can also work.
Hudson Bailey
>32", think it was a 1800R curve. mine is 24 and 1500R
Brandon Perry
i know youre underage so ill do a tldr just because they are connected to "2.0" doesnt mean that windows sees them as such >prepare an iso with rufus >Inject drivers with msi smart tool(asus probably has a 3.0 tool too) >??? >profit come back when youre 18 or when you can read and use search engines
Nicholas Taylor
Lads what's a good cheap 1080p 144hz monitor, preferably with at least freesync so I can use the gsync tool with it?
>preferably with at least freesync so just so you understand there is no common standard with freesync, so you can get a lot of different quality freesync, some have flickering, some don't and so on. So what level of freesync is good enough for you.
Colton Harris
Mostly i'm just looking to avoid screen tearing with higher frame rate games. I admit i don't know a ton about freesync, only that it does that and recently nvidia cards can sorta work with freesync too now.
Ian Richardson
Holy shit you guys My pc finally works But I forgot my password What do?
Adrian Gomez
There is nothing wrong with them, that's an awesome PSU.
Lincoln Foster
really look up issues with freesync so you avoid shit that bothers you. Stuff like screen flickering at the very least.
Isaiah Murphy
I guess i'll look into it, i'm not sure where to start but I suppose that's what Google is for. Thanks.
Justin Bailey
freesync flicker is one issue I personally have experienced, look it up, I personally hate it more than screen tearing
Gavin Jackson
Do you turn on RTX?
Jonathan Johnson
? what game, what resolution, what RTX effects?
Josiah Campbell
Are you talking about the corsair?
Christopher Reyes
Okay I googled for a solution but I can't connect to internet to email it to myself I didn't create a recovery disk There's no hint It is the administrator account
Sebastian Cooper
Boot up as safe mode, access the hidden admin account that you probably did not set up a password for. Go into it and change the password of your main user account. If this doesn't work, your only choice is to reinstall windoze.
Juan Perry
I have a bunch of passwords for things saved to text files on this drive as well as a bunch of my work I neeeed this Crossing my dick I can get into this secret admin account
Michael Hall
i5 9600k or i7 9700k? Both seem to have similar results but the 9600k is a lot cheaper.
Aiden Peterson
Refurbished 1060 3gb for 160$ vs New 570 4gb for 160$ vs New 580 8gb for 260$
if you're going to keep it for a long time get the 580
Jaxson Mitchell
I'm just holding out for big navi.
Zachary Hughes
How did you get a tribble?
Henry Gray
My 2070s xc ultra thata ive been waiting 3 weeks on finally comes wednesday. I am afraid of coil whine and fan clicking. Anyone tried this model before?
Isaac Anderson
then in that case get the 570 or 160
Ryder Thomas
Ok, so the prices on the first 2 are a little bit high, maybe by like $10.
But the 580? Where are you looking/shopping, fuck, it is only $190 where I am at. The MOST expensive 580 is like $210 or so.
Anthony Hill
Looking to upgrade to the 5700xt. Which model should I get? Lots of normie reviews have said the reference designs are hot and loud and there arent many non refrences ones on the market yet
I'm looking for a case that can fit 8 3.5" drives, has enough airflow that they don't get too hot, and doesn't look like a "gamer" case. Any recommendations? Under $100 would be nice but would consider something more expensive.
Even so, a 100$ jump between the 570 4gig and the 580 8gig seems a bit high.
Anyways, personally I bought a Powercolor 570 8gig model. It has the extra VRAM but at the lower 570 price. I think It was only 20 or so dollers more than the 4gb model
What is the 570 8gig size priced over there?
Thomas Campbell
I guess I'll have to try this on a friends pc then. As I previously assumed, my account is the administer account There is no way to access my Windows without password I think Fuuuck Now I need to buy a new ssd and get Windows on pirate bay again
Yea, $20 difference. If you do get the 570, get the 8gig, it will help in more VRAM intensive gaming. I had a shitty i5 4440 with the 570 8gig and still got 60-ish FPS at 1080p gaming.
I swear my password WAS 1234 because I wanted my gf to remember it But it's not that It was something easy to remember... I think.. But I've been trying for half an hour
Luis Murphy
I don't know, I haven't played on a 1660.
Maybe search real-time side-by-side gaming youtube video. Although the "refurbished" does make me a little stand-offish. Was it used in Mining and they re-loaded the firmware to make it gaming playable again? Or ? I don't think you can really know, which immediately makes me uncomfortable.
But if you plan on switching graphics cards every year or 2 it probably doesn't matter. I switch mine about every 4-5 so I look for longevity
Aaron Edwards
Try:
ImGay
or ImaRandySlut666
Julian Richardson
looks pretty comfy
William Jones
I tried ImGay and it said welcome and started loading for a bit but then said incorrect Trolled by you and my pc
Hunter Taylor
it is. Dawn, birds chirping, you can see animals waking around sometimes too. It has rain which sounds really relaxing. I do shoot deer and shit, but often I'll just stop on listen to the rain and drink in the scenery.
But there are a bunch of "Reservations", I so far only am in Germany. But they have the Pacific Northwest, Yukon, Savannah, and a couple other areas that look pretty beautiful.
I might have to try it out when I build my new pc then
Adam Carter
should i play league of legnds, fortnite, or dota 2 on my new build
Daniel Ross
So I'm in the market for an ssd now since I forgot my password I guess.. Should I get a stick of nvme to fill that slot on my b450 motherboard? Can I use Intel nvme if my cpu is amd? Any recommendations?
Andrew Mitchell
Those are all awful and that's a /v/ question
Christopher Wood
Get a 240gb inland professional 2.5" drive for 25 dollars because you'll probably fuck up again and then only be out $25.
Elijah Hill
Looks comfy as fuck. I like comfy games, pretty much the only thing I play nowadays. Job being stressful as it is I don't need to add to it with fast paced stuff.
