40 bucks more, and you get GTX 1050, which would run all the big-name titles at 1080p / Medium at 60fps, and a huge majority of all other games at med-high settings.

It is a tad weaker than 750 Ti, it can't really do that reliably.

I wish there were more 3 or even 4 slot coolers, just massive heatsinks with a super low RPM 120mm fan stuck to it for maximum cooling with the least noise.

The cheap OEM fans on my GTX 560 and then 680 both broke, so I just ripped the entire shroud off, ziptied a 120mm fan to each of them, left them at a barely audible 800 RPM and they were both quieter and cooler than stock.

Just give me a THICC card that runs extra cool and silent

750ti was already shown to run stuff like GTA5 at 1080p, Very High pre-set, at ~35fps average, which would translate into easy 60 at med-high combo.

Bulgayrian here, compared to early last month, 1060 and 1070 prices have risen by about 30-40%. The Rx 500 series was MIA for a week or two recently (as in, no stock anywhere), and has now returned to shelves with a price hike similar to Nvidia's.
Ethereum miners are the scum of the Earth, and I realize how autistic this outburst sounds. Sue me.

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted

>R5 1400 - Cheapest quad core you can get (Ryzen 3 soon)
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can

GPUs:

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any <$30 cooler.
Buying used is perfectly fine for budgets (PSU excluded)

If it were a month ago, I'd advise you to look in to the used 970 market. Slightly worse performance than a 1060, but still perfect for 1080p 60fps, lots of enthusiast getting rid of them for a high-end Pascal means ~30% cheaper than a 1060 6GB.

>>383478595
Not with mining there isn't. Mind you, 970's have been hit as well (demand is increasing across the board) but not as bad as new Polaris cards. And NVidia's Kepler cards typically don't have enough VRAM to handle modern titles.
>>
>>383477949
Nvidia cards are efficient enough that they work. They're no way as powerful as amd in mining, but it makes up for electricity bills. So just get a couple of them if you can't find an amd card. You're just gonna sell them off once the mining dies, so it's not likely you're losing any money in the long run.

You know what sucks? When you're at that point where you can't just upgrade your GPU because if you do then your cpu is gonna be a huge bottleneck, so you also get a new CPU but then you also need a new motherboard to fit it and then you'll need to buy new ram as well

So basically if I upgrade my PC right now I might as well replace every single part other than maybe the power supply, case and ssd

It is not the new cards being just around the corner moron. It is ETH killing off the entire midrange GPU. Unless you are buying low end (1050ti/560) or high end (1080 up) everything is easily 2-3 times more expensive than 2 months ago.

It's very easy. There are only 4 possiblilities.

>CPU usage <90% and GPU usage >90%:
The CPU is too fast for the GPU.
>CPU usage >90% and GPU usage <90%:
The GPU is too fast for the CPU.
>CPU usage >90% and GPU usage >90%:
The ideal case where both CPU and GPU are balanced.
>CPU usage <90% and GPU usage <90%:
The game is unable to use your hardware fully. Usually caused by shit like FPS caps, lack of multi-threading or driver issues.

Depends on whether it's DDR3 or GDDR5.
Assuming the latter it basically an underclocked 750Ti, so maybe 10% slower.
If it's the former you're looking at something like 40% slower at least.

Surely you must be joking, I emulated a bunch of shit on the standard 750 (not even the Ti model) and the 270x Radeon, both of which are toaster cards on a FX6300 CPU.

Properly emulating usually has more to do with using the proper plug-ins and setting up every individual game, rather than just mounting the ISO and expecting everything to just werk and even then some games just don't emulate well.

economics my friend.
back when bitcoin was worth nothing, when you could not buy anything with it and it was easy to mine you could have made a fortune on any old PC.
There were people who lost potential millions just because they thought what they mined would never be worth anything and lost the wallet.
Now it has become worth a lot people mined it like crazy trying to get rich to the point that the amount earned versus electricity costs is so little that only by scaling up to incredible degrees can you hope to make anything more than pocket change.

In fact if anything they get over-valued because every chucklefuck wants to get rich easy.

>>383482935
heat is generated from lower power efficiency.
Desktop GPUs are less concerned with how much energy is used and more concerned with being as powerful as possible.
That's why desktop CPUs and video cards use fans.

Components designed to use less energy and don't need to be so powerful don't necessarily require a cooling mechanism to dissipate heat into the room.
A mobile phone needs to last on battery for as long as possible, if it was so powerful as to need its own fans it would probably use up too much energy to stay running for long.
Same with raspberry pis, they're low power and efficient so there's really no need for them to be cooled even further.

Also as a bonus point, a lot of modern GPUs have default settings that the fans don't spin at all until they hit 60 degrees Celsius.

at 90°C GPUs will underclock to help them cool down fast, which results in a massive temporary performance drop.

Yes. Mine gets to roughly 80. It's not the best but it's not exactly something that's going to kill your GPU, unless it's doing that on idle.

You could try some better thermal paste or pads, or maybe being sure that your fan isn't slightly loose, I had some loose screws and I was getting some crappy noise, turned that fucker down by tightening them well.

I dont understand it much myself, but GPU cards are able to do the complicated shit that mining for cryptocurrency needs. I think the currency is then stored on the GPU.

>750ti was already shown to run stuff like GTA5 at 1080p
Reminder that GTA5 was developed to run ps3 and xbox 360 and initially released in 2013. And on top of it being an old game -- even by the time it was released on PC -- it was very well optimized; its minimum requirements on PC list hardware from 2007.

GTA5 is a horrible, horrible game to base performance on, because practically no other game where grafix performance matters much released in the past half-decade isn't going to run as fast.

It's because retards don't understand that optimizations on console don't translate to pc like that. You can have the most optimized console game ever but on the pc there are many other factors which break optimization such as driver/os overhead. Amds drivers are factually inferior to Nvidias across a whole range of hardware. Maybe if you're running a 7700k at 5ghz paired with a rx 580 you'll get good performance as there is very little the driver overhead can bottleneck here. DF have already done testing with a rx480/gtx1060 on a Pentium and the amd cards drop performance like mad because of that driver overhead. Amd is worse for lower end systems, fact (despite people saying they're good for low end budget systems).

Fun fact: running basic hardware monitoring overlays like even rivatuner statistics server can cause you to lose like 5% of fps on amd gpu because of driver issues. (Source: adoredtv)

Both amd and Nvidia lost performance with the 1.02 patch because both had shader problems.

This was just a launch bug which is fixed now and Nvidia gpu still run better than amd ones anyway. Digital foundry tested the patch in a video.

Buttcoin is still viable actually but you need specific purpose asic miners and it's not cheap, but again it's validity is till around 2+ years till you hit a steeper wall to climb. The you have the smart fucks trying to rope dumb fucks in to mine eth so you drive the price sky high, kek.

Why did every video card double in price?

This is AUS fag dollars but hear me out. A cpu I bought in 2013 for $209 is now over $300. a GPU lets just say a GTX 770 I bought years ago was like $380. Now if you want say a GTX 1070 its like $660 starting. Even GTX 780 was like $550-600, now a GTX 1080 is like $900-1000.

Gpu aren't fragile products in the sense they'll melt if you run them maxed out for too long. The absolute worst that could happen is the thermal paste will need replacing or a fan has died out.

Anything else like the actual core being fried or the vrms melting would mean the gpu won't even work anyway so as long as you get a gpu that actually displays something when you get it, it's fine. Just replace the thermal paste and spend a good 20 mins with some compressed air and rubbing alcohol to clean the fans and bearings.

Also you'd know to buy from reputable sellers or from trading stores which offer a money back guarantee like eBay or Amazon.

Nothing can go wrong if you just educate yourself and realize what you're buying so you can plan ahead and identify what could go wrong.

They changed the sectioning of the GPU's with the 1000 series so that there is no longer a proper single mid tier card like the 770 was. Now there is a "lower mid" and "upper mid", where the lower mid, 1060 is quite affordable but just weak enough to make you hesitant to buy one, and upper mid, 1070 is really good, but is a bit overpriced to make you hesitant to buy that one.

And then we have the recent mining craze making the problem worse and nobody is happy.

yeah, with double the cores and triple the threads. and its more like ryzen @3.3-3.5ghz = sandybridge at 5ghz. 2500k @ 5ghz is roughtly equal to stock 6600k

thats why you flip what you have and hope for price increases. its not meant to be a linear cash income.

I mined dogecoin for a joke back in like december 2012 thanks to /g/ and was making like $5 a day. a month later it skyrocketed and I had a free $2000 from a week of mining

Because when the mining craze is dead the cards are useless. A used 1070 can be sold at 80% value
>>
>>383496594
>A used 1070 can be sold at 80% value

Buying a card that has been used to mine is like buying a car that has been in an accident. Once consumers figure that out the resale market will crash.

>when the mining craze is dead

Not going to happen anytime soon...which means the cards will be outdated regardless, making their resale potential low anyways.

I really don't like crypto currency threads, they are always so full of people with half baked ideas and poorly thought out arguments.

the new process nodes brought superior efficiency and performance at much lower tdp. the gtx 1060 is about ~10/15% faster than the gtx 970 on average whilst using less power and outputting less heat.

the same goes for the rx 480 which is roughly on par with an r9 390 but uses like half the tdp and outputs slightly less heat. all due to the shrink from 28nm to 14nm/16nm.

It's the age of backlog anon. Play all those games from the last 20 years you've considered playing at one point or another. There are also plenty of new games with low requirements that get released.

I actually think pc is the best platform because of the ability to play decades worth of games, not because of cutting edge performance or the newest games.

I only have 1080p 60hz monitor so it's overkill for pretty much everything. Maxes Witcher 3 and anything else I've tried but I only really play Battlerite and some older RPGs (almost done with D:OS atm).

I'm thinking of selling my RX480 to the mining boom but I can't think of one game I can't run at ultra 1080/60 aside from DX:MD which you just turn down MSAA.

I'm PC all the way, but get the PS4. Buttcoin or etherium or whatever fucked gpu prices up for the next year if I had to guess. I hope it's only a year...

Businesses always jack up the price instantly and drop it back down at a snail's pace. Like HDD still being overpriced compared to if the flood never happened.

Also, RAM and SSD are expensive as fuck because of phone posters. It's a really bad time to make a PC.

you can play everything that's out with a great level of playability. some games like prey, you will have to play on medium to maintain 60 fps. anything older than 2 years old you can max out at 60 fps.
