Clarity always seems to come only after putting the cash down, it seems.

If y'all rock a 280x or something in that zone on a 1080p60 monitor and aren't a rich shit, trust me, it's not time to upgrade. That baby is gonna give you the sweet 60 on still-decent settings for at least a couple more years.

Is the upgrade from RX 480 to 580 worth 30€ if I'm aiming for 90+fps on 1080/144hz monitor and don't want to get a new card for 3+ years?
>>
>>59965890
Yeah. I'm on a non-reference 7970 that was better than most Ghz edition cards, so the same thing as a 280X.
It's like a 2x performance improvement for a high OC RX580 like the Red Devil GS.

Not as bad as you put it, and still good but... I want Vega and to maybe move up to 4k.
2x performance increase after almost 6 years isn't a lot, even if it's a much cheaper card as well.
>>
>>59965890
Thanks, me and my trusty $50 7970 have been good for the past 2 weeks with my 750Ti sleeping in the drawer.
>>
>>59965967
Eh it's like 5-10% better depending on the model.
It's more than 10% more expensive, right?
Up to you if that's worth it or not.

570 4GB is really the sweet spot, at least in the US. Those are $170 and as good as the 480s were at 1080p.
Or just getting a 470 for even cheaper even if it's 10% worse.
>>
>>59965831
How about this then. I really don't fancy flashing or having to flash anything.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jZP2nn

It'll be for light gaming, mainly sims/simulations, and possibly gtav. Also light video editing for personal amusement (hence why I chose a case with a built in SD card reader)

My main concern is reliability over anything else.
>>
>>59965982
I shouldn't say the same as the RX480. It depends on the game.
It's over 95% the same in some, but less than 90% on some others for the Red Devil RX570. And it's $190 which you can find 8GB RX480s for sale at.
So yeah, I retract that. Wait for sales on that particular card.

>>59965995
Get a cheaper motherboard and semi-modular PSU.
Rest looks good, except if you can wait the RX470 often goes on sale for like $110-$130. I'm pretty sure you can find RX570s for $170 but they're still a bit meh at that price.

What are some quality 5.25 to 3.5 hot swap bays that use trays to prevent the SATA connectors from getting abused? Everything I come across is tray-less, or they trays still just have you connecting/disconnecting directly to/from the drive each time you swap it out.
>>
>>59966335
Doesn't a 1050 cost like $115?
RX470s go on sale for $110-$130 all the time and they're literally twice as fast.

Only reason to get a 1050 or 1050Ti is because you can get ones that don't require a 6pin power connector. Which is occasionally a good reason, but rare for most buyers.
>>
>>59966307
they don't require them, but most new games use as many cores/threads as your cpu has, which results in less stutters and therefore a much smoother gameplay experience :)

TF2 is an unoptimized old piece of garbage that guzzles down single thread performance

This is assuming you want 144hz, that is. A kaby Pentium should do fine for 60fps.
>>
>>59965890
Are you retarded? I upgraded from R370 2GB to RX470 4Gb and doubled performance for cheap price. I dont think that 280X is much than R370. Polaris is great, you should of upgrade like a year ago.
>>
>>59966622
>not that much better
It's literally twice the TFLOPs
The 280X still does 30fps minimum on games maxed out now days.
Still does over 60fps on plenty of games, or all of them if you just turn settings down a bit.
Whole different class of card. It's not like the RX470 vs RX480 is today at all. It's like comparing the RX460 to the RX470 instead.

Anyone with a 7970 or better is generally not going to feel the need to upgrade on 1080p. Even the 290X and 390X is still amazing for 1440p.
Thus we wait for Vega and we won't have to upgrade for another 5+ years again if we don't want to.
>>
What's the verdict over the 570? Should I consider it instead of the 479 or naw?
>>
>>59966825
But point is Vega is high end. So you dont want to upgrade from middle to middle but to high end? Why even bring 470/480 into discussion? Why do you need Vega if you have low demands?
>>
>>59966879
The 280X was still high end for its time. The 7970 was way before its time.
The 290X was just above-high-end. It was what the Titan Xp is today. Those things were selling for $900 instead of the $500 MSRP or whatever because they were so mind-boggling powerful and so in demand (and bitcoin miners).

If we can still play games at 60fps, obviously the point of an upgrade is for 144fps, 1440p at high hz, or 4k.
We aren't retards that buy 1080Tis for our 60hz 1080p monitors like Nvidia fanboys.

Okay, so I have two main goals:

1) play Overwatch on literally any settings as long as it's 1080p 144Hz minimum
2) stream it using twitch at a decent frame rate and resolution

what's the cheapest that could do this? Would a 1060 / 7600k make the cut or would I have to upgrade either?
>>
>>59967101
Selling a 970 when idiots will still pay $175 for them despite them completely shitting the bed in many games is a good idea.
I can't imagine they'll hold their value. Those idiots have to catch on eventually.

I'm just not sure getting an RX580 is the best idea. Yeah it's better on average, and SLIGHTLY lower power consumption, but Vega or 1080 discounted is a better buy.

>>59967141
You want to stream ... on a 7600k ... while a game is running at 144fps minimum? Are you actually retarded? What the hell made you think that'd be possible? Or are you going to build a second machine to do the encoding? That's even stupider when you could do it on one proper machine.

You'll need a 1700 and a 1060 overclocked to 2000MHz+ or a 1070.
>>
>>59967175

sorry I've never done streaming before

would a 7700k and a 1070 be able to do it then?

Why are you being retarded about this?
1700 is the only choice for streaming. Why are you even asking about the 7700k? It has half the cores and threads. It's obviously worse for such a task.

If you get a 7700k you're spending more money to have worse quality hardware accelerated encoding that won't look nearly as good.
Or you spend twice as much for 2 7700k systems to play on one and do CPU encoding on the other one.
>>
This is probably bordering on a Stupid Question but anyways...

I managed to pick up an old AMD CPU and motherboard from the bargain bin of a PC store. Planning to use it as a shitter box to play old games. I've never used an AMD product ever.

Just need some DDR3 to go with it. The fastest DDR3 RAM the CPU supports is 1866 (though the mobo supports 2133) But DDR3-1866 is pretty much impossible to find now (especially for a decent price), while DDR-2133 seems to be everywhere, cheap and plentiful.

Are there any consequences for putting in DDR3-2133? Will the motherboard just automatically downclock it to DDR3-1866 and the CPU will be fine with that?

I bought a cheap XFX RX470 RS on sale some time ago and now i'm building a R5 1600(X) PC.

The issue here is that I really don't want to do the waiting game, I got this GTX970 for a below 120 pricetag a few months ago in a drunken attempt to fix my GPU related issues that came from not having an upgrade over the last near 8 years.
>>
>>59967292
lmao? Keep the 470 unless you can get the same or more that you paid for it back.
The fuck is with you guys that'll buy a card then 6 months later want a new 20% better one.
Idk I guess if you can sell the PC as is as a good price, yeah that's easier with a GPU already in it. But you'd have to wait for Vega to do that reasonably.

>power draw
idk. Pretty sure the Radeon Instinct MI25 is <300W.
Expecting 280-350W for the top end Vega. so a 550W good quality PSU will be more than enough.
Cut down and downclocked Vega probably 180-220W.

>>59967316
We don't know since the XFX GTR 580 doesn't have reviews yet. The assumption is yes since the GTS appears to be like the 480 GTR.

As far as I can tell, the POWERCOLOR Red Devil GS is the best one and the Sapphire Nitro+ is the second best. But I expect the XFX GTR will be between those or match/beat the Red Devil.

Here's my dilemma.

I'm moving to the US at the end of the year, and i'm also in the market for a PC.

I'm only taking the components inside the PC to the US, unless i build an ITX system. Then i could probably fit a sugo 13 in my suitcase.

I want to play some sweet games, but i've got a 720p monitor i'm just gonna stick with.

Longterm, would it make more sense for a small i3 cheap ass system with a 1050 2gb that i could re-purpose as a home entertainment system or something later on, or get my hands on a Ryzen 1600 and maybe a 1050 TI and get a cheap ass case, like a cougar spike, and then just sell it for like, 20 bucks when i leave ...

Just thinkin' what would get me the most bang for my buck long term.

How long do you guys reckon the 1600 will stay relevant?
>>
>>59967276
i did not really buy this ssd for the boot times but it is a nice touch considering i went from using a 2006 seagate HDD

>>59967276

I also have the 200m side intake fan and very good cooling inside the case with the PC in a low temp room
>>
>>59967360
A, the price will obviously be high and the option of "which brands one isn't pure ass" takes a decent amount of time to be certified
B, if I do sell the GTX 970 meme, I'll be sitting ducks in the hopes that the vega is at a good price and is a good overall GPU.

Besides, basically 9 years of waiting does make the concept of "just wait a bit more lad" kind of strange.
>>
>>59967303
A 1600 overclocked the 2000MHz+ should keep above 144fps.
Just google reviews and figure out which 1060s overclock to 2000MHz fine.
But if you want to play it safe, you can overpay for a 1070 instead.

>>59967362
There are mITX RX470s now. Check the Sapphire Pulse. Roughly the same price but over 50% better performance as long as you've got a 6pin. And you know how Ryzen+AMD GPU just plays nice together.

Problem is that Ryzen mITX doesn't look like it's coming out until June. So maybe you should just get a tiny mITX box with no dGPU, and just go with a i3-7350K or i3-7320.

>>59967383
You could have gotten 99% the same performance with a $650 cheaper 850 Evo and used that money for hookers instead.

>>59967387
Eh I'm pretty experienced with hardware, even if I'm more of a software guy.
I really, really, really do not think Vega is going to disappoint. It'll be 2x Fury X performance at minimum. I wouldn't be surprised if it beats the Titan Xp in DX12/Vulkan.
Not to mention the benefit of Freesync2 vs overpriced last gen Gsync.
AMD has always competed on price whether they can or can't deliver the best card. They can't just sell the cards on name alone like Nvidia can.
>>
>>59967417
Any estimations on the price of Vega?
>>
>>59967451
I say 300+. Probably around the price of GTX1080.
>>
>>59967417
>You could have gotten 99% the same performance with a $650 cheaper 850 Evo and used that money for hookers instead.
very true :[
>>
>>59967451
Almost surely $400-$450 for the cut down one.
$550-$750 for the full size 13-14TFLOPS full clocks one.
I'm hoping the "Nano" successor is going to be on the cheaper cut down die this time, as well. That'd make way more sense. Or a Nano on both the cut down and full die.

They can't even sell the cut down one less than $400 as far as I can see since, at minimum, even that cut down die should be about double RX580 performance. The only way they'd be cheaper is if they price drop RX580s just a month after they've been out, which is unlikely...

Anyway, I need to get to bed.
>>
>>59967474
>>59967511
Yeah, not very certain I want to plow 400~500 dollars for a GPU anytime soon.
I'll try selling the GTX 970 for a good price and getting a RX 580 instead.
>>
intel+nvidia for gaming
amd+nvidia for streaming
amd+amd for fuccbois
>>
>>59967511
And before anyone asks about a "1070 competitor", Vega would likely need to be around 40CUs to compete with the 1070, not 56 which is likely for the cut down card.
A card like the 1070 is pointless for 99% of cases, anyway.
It's not good enough for 144fps in anything more demanding than Overwatch.
It's not good enough for 4K.
Yet it's complete overkill for 1080p 60hz or 1440p 60hz in almost all cases, making it poor value.

It looks to me that "Vega 11" is basically going to be "Vega 20" instead and become the RX600 series in 12-18 months.

>>59967533
Its price/performance should be amazing, though.
$400 for something twice as fast as a $270 top end RX580 and way better performance per watt.

It's the "future proof" card. RX580 is sufficient for 1440p, but you'll have to turn settings down in a few games. If that's your use case, go for it. Vega is more for 4k and shit.

I bought the card because my old one died, i had to. I only ask this question because i want to sell my old PC which is obviously better with a GPU than without.
Then again i'd need a new one a RX580 but this shitpile of a rebrand... idk about it.

>>
>>59967681
270€ for the XFX one. Though some goes up to 330€.
290€ Sapphire.

It's still a bit chaotic so far over amazon.

>>59967738
I really need a GPU though. I'm still using my i7's iGPU and while it's fairly good I want to finish my computer already. It's been a month and I still don't even know what GPU to buy. Opened /g/ today to find out everyone was shitting on the 580, not even the usual AMDfags are defending it this time.

1080p 60fps by the way.
>>
>>59967655
yeah I went to the shop and realized that as well, I think I'll just survive with this until the Vega starts getting sold second hand or some shit and pick it up for 300 in a year or two.
I think I'll just enjoy what I have now and rather focus on my CPU.

Hilariously enough it was strong enough for a lot of games these days but you had to gimp your drivers to 2~3 years ago drivers to get a good performance.

1070 a shit unless you're looking to drive a 144hz monitor, mate. Overkill for 1080p 60fps, an not enough grunt for 1440p. That's some redundant shit right there.

If you're buying a non-1080(ti) Nvidia card at the moment you're a prime cuck.
>>
>>59968182
Yeah that's what I'm seeing too, but then it can hit it on most games. And 50 on VH/Ultra means 60+ on High.

Sure, but even if it's a shrink you can expect boosted clocks and maybe some minor optimizations.
Even 20% over Pascal would land it in pretty comfortable 4k/60 territory IMO, the 1080Ti is already almost there.

Just to echo what other anons have said, but the 1050ti has absolutely no purpose outside of a very low wattage build that sips power. There have pretty much always been better budget options around that price point (for every xx50ti series) that performs much better.

Continuing question from yesterday about worries about PC health:

During playing game, I launched HWMonitor to see how it performs during that and this is the screenshoot made after I closed the game. Not only it reached 72C on stock frequency and max fan speed of the cooler (~1500 rmp, nh-u12s) but also I dont understand why it shows lowest frequency at 800 mhz (throttle temperature for this cpu is 100C).

I checked few days ago if cooler is mounted properly and all. The only thing that was off is that when I move the case around, one of that parts holding fan to heatsink tend to detach, so fan only hang on "upper" part. I left my motherboard cover voltage by automatic settings. I dont know if I wouldnt screw it somehow by setting manually 1.2V for example, especially since during low use it can drop to 0.8V.

Since I got this new PC, I constantly sit with nose into temperature readings. I dont even know, what Im doing wrong.

What should I do?
>>
>>59965626
Just wait stfu thats all you faggots post

So I got this older dude:
>Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H mobo
>i5-4460
>GTX 960 (2gigs)
>8gb RAM
>430W Seasonic (S12II)

And I'm going for upgrade. I will definitely buy another 8GB RAM stick and SSD drive. However, I would like to also buy a new GPU for some 1080 gaming. I'm looking for something in the middle class or slightly above. I prefer Nvidia, though I'm not sure if that old power source is enough for the modern cards.
So:

The RX470 is the best value for 1080p but I'd get at least a 4GB VRAM card if you're coming from a 2GB card, and the 480 4GB costs basically the same as the 4GB 470

their drivers had a long stretch of being shitty which earned them that reputation but they've been solid for a while now.

personally if i was in your situation i would try to find a good price on a 1060 and stretch the life of that thing, unless you think it's about to give up the ghost. google shows people using a 1060 on sub-400w PSUs so i think you'll be fine.

So I got to the wiring stage in my build and I'm fucking lost.

Got this PSU: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/rmi-series-rm650i-650-watt-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-psu

Figured out the cable from PSU -> Mobo

Can't figure out which one goes to my optical drive

Can't figure out which one goes to my SSD

Do I need one for my GPU?

I was doing pretty well up until here.

Nothing's 'bad' about the i5, it just depends on what you value more. Ryzen has more cores/threads which can be useful for multitasking, multithreaded applications and has some benefits in games like higher minimum fps, better frametiming though has lower maximum fps compared to intel.
>>
Few questions
Monitors:
1. Can someone spoonfeed me on dynamic contrast ratio? I heard it ruins whites and blacks however the contrast ratio on the monitor I just bought without dynamic on is awful (1:1000 as opposed to my other piece of shit Acer's 1:40,000) - with dynamic on it's 1:12,000,000
2. Can a monitor have multiple native refresh rates? Been seeing the one I just bought listed as 144, 120 and 100 and I thought it was just 144.
Graphics card:

No. Its only demanding if you are playing one game across multiple monitors in a giant ass clown resolution. If you just have a standard 1080p game in monitor, and other shit displayed on the others, its a pretty minor fps hit.

I'm currently planning my build and I was going for the rx480 it is supposed to not age as badly as the GTX 1060. I'm not planning to get a new graphics card in the next two years so it seemed to be the better option. The price was already at 235€ for the rx480 but now AMD did this stupid rebrand thing and the cheapest rx580 is 270Euros, the next one is 290Euros. Meanwhile the rx480s are disappearing from the sites. Should I quickly get a rx480 for 240Euros before they are all gone?

Cooler that comes with it should be fine to use for basic OC or until you can get a better one. For 24/7 3.9/4GHz OC, you should be fine with something like a 212 Evo or a single radiator AIO. Ryzen doesn't realistically clock over about 4.1GHz no matter what cooler you're using due to the crazy voltages.

Main reason for Vega would be 4K and HDR10 if HDR10 isn't supported on the 390.
The 390 still does 1440p well except for the heat.
