The fuck do you need 4GB for?

is this the idle temp? do the fans turn off when idle, cuz those idle temps dont seem very good

He's got 8gb and a 2500k at 4.7ghz shows just how little improvement there has been for 5 generations. Get your shit together amd

>>59833465
It says 4.7ghz you giganigger. Speccy doesn't show the oc. Man its like you don't even overclock.

>>59833426
for the GPU? Yeah, it's idle. The fans are not spinning.

>>59833465
I even specifically included the OC frequency in the pic

the 390 is a total beast, had one but XFX are the worst fucking aftermarket cards and i just bought a 480

>>59833554
In what way is it superior to MSI GOYMING X may I inquire?

>>59833582
they're not, XFX are a bunch of cheap chinks that skip on proper cooling, both fans of my 390 died months after i got it and RMAing would have cost me about half of its price

>"I fell for the X meme"

I just fell for the i7-7700K + GTX 1080 meme. It doesn't matter how much you spent or how much powah your pc has today. It is only a matter of time before you are lamenting that you fell for the meme. I'll be starting a Speccy thread perhaps five years from now saying "I fell for the 8GB VRAM meme". Such is the way with pc tech.

From the looks of it, I bet you are still getting playable fps in just about everything out there. Have you dropped to 720p yet? For the last eight years up until two weeks ago, I was rocking a Core2Duo with a 1GB VRAM Radeon HD 6850. Minecraft was a slide show. I barely got 25 fps on the lowest settings at 720p in Fallout 4, GTA V, and Witcher 3.

>>59836672
Looks like Speccy is in desperate need of an update. Speccy doesn't report the "7700k" part of the i7-7700k, nor does it report the 8gb vram of the GTX 1080.

>>59836672
before i got my R9 390 in 2015 i also had a 6850 and i had no problems with minecraft at all at 1680x1050

How does that even work, considering I don't have 2 PCIe x16? I only have a PCIe x16 (obviously already used) and an x16 slot that only uses x4

Kind of interesting too, considering my motherboard officially supports xfire

stabletable build, put it together 3 and a half years (? ish) ago, first with a GTX 770, then chucked in a 980 shortly after GTAV came out because i was only getting like 45FPS at 1080p.

Other than that this thing just keeps chugging away, this old ass Antec case must be getting on for a decade old now too, whatever i replace this build with will probably still be in the same case, no reason to stop using something that works well. Just when will this CPU become obsolete? are we talking same kind of legs that the 2600K enjoyed/still enjoys when OCd?

>>59837350
1st slot will drop down to 8x (which is fine for everything othern than 1080ti) so you will get both slots running at 8x normaly

>>59837350
I don't think a 460 will be bottlenecked by a x4 slot, there might be a bios option for 8x8

>>59837403
is that the pre refresh haswell? if yes you it will probatly not oc as far as sandy and ivy

Hm. Okay. IIRC also the VRAM of a card with more than the other gets truncated to the same as the other? In other words get a 4GB like the one I have and not a 2GB?

>I was rocking a Core2Duo with a 1GB VRAM Radeon HD 6850. Minecraft was a slide show
you probably were out of CPU. HD6850 is plenty fast for memecraft, it should also be able to run Fallout 4, GTA V, and Witcher 3 at low/medium at 1080p with decent framerates.

>Have you dropped to 720p yet?
With an RX 480? This bad boy runs pretty much every game on ultra in 1080p at 60fps or just below that. The only thing I have to drop is 4x MSAA.

>>59833374
Maybe he's playing Witcher 3 and can't get the textures higher than medium

>>59833654
>All that storage
I'm curious, what case?

>>59838591
Witcher 3 on ultra at 1080p eats up 2.5GB max based on my experience.
Games I played that hit 4GB VRAM were Batman Arkham Knight, RE7 and AC Unity.

>>59838602
It's only 5x3.5" drives.
1 2.5" SSD and 2 externals.

>fell for the 64gb of ram meme

>>59833374
4gb is too little nowadays
at least 6gb

>>59833147
>bought 1GB 7770 for $30
>every game max out vram.
4GB is not a meme. 8 is.

>>59833654
cancerous

>>59836061
>implying oc'ing your cpu gives you a performance boost

>>59839063
this
The only game where i come close to using more than 4GB of vram on my R9 390 (it has 8GB) is Skyrim with around 130 mods, where i get up to 3.8 GB vram usage. Howewer at that point i'm usually also dropping below 25 fps on 1080p.

>>59836487
I really love you people who use _new_ low end CPUs. I wish I wasn't so trapped by the urge to have THE BEST regardless of my needs.

>>59839513
in all honesty, i am the same, its just that i can only justify buying the best for what i am using. i could've easily afford an i7 + rx 480, but all i do on my computer is emulate SSBM and play source games. as this computer is able to do all of these on max settings at 1080p i had no trouble with buying low end shit. if you're going to be using your computer every day then there is no shame in buying expensive stuff.

>>59839122
>implying it doesn't

>>59839513
sort of this
I'd much rather go with older K-series CPU than modern low-end one.
i5-3330 or even lower-end (lower-clocked) Haswells are crap right now, meanwhile older but higher end 2500K with a solid OC and fast memory is still pretty much at stock Skylake/Kaby Lake i5 level.

>>59836731

>>59834319

For the price of the 4g 480 you can get a 8g 470 which performs almost the same (5-10%) but the ability to have higher res textures and faster memory (4G 400s have slower memory). I don't think think theres anything wrong with either cards desu. Just depends on the games you play.

Shit posting machine. Also dual booting XP and Xubuntu.

In warthunder I have a solid 60 fps in air realistic and 59-60 fps in ground forces.
And you know how Arma is.... I get 40-50 fps when I'm not in a town and 25-30fps when I'm in one.
It's a really good budget setup overall.
