  1. Hi everyone, I am looking for a suitable card to go with my new r5 5600x. I upgraded the cpu before getting a new gpu. My old gpu was a gtx 1080 (very old). I game at 1080p with some older titles I could see myself playing at 1440p. Budget isn’t really an issue, I mostly just don’t want to go to overkill to where the cpu bottlenecks. Any suggestions are welcome.
  2. Ok cool, thanks for the help!
  3. An Rtx 2070 (again used to mine for a while so I lost a good amount of performance)
  4. The 6700xt is almost twice the price so I will probably hold off for now
  5. I can but the 6700xt is not on sale so I was just curious.
  6. R5 5600x , 32 gb ram 3000mzgh, 1tb gen 3 ssd, ash’s tuf x570 mobo
  7. Hi everyone, my current graphics card died (bought it used a few years ago and the guy definitely used it to mine). I’m wondering if I should pick a new rx6600 (it’s on sale from 400cad$ to 250cad$) or wait and buying a more future proofed card. Ideally, I’ll be building a new system in 2 years. Will this new card hold be over until then is really what I am wondering. I play games at 1080 and generally care more for fps over visuals.
  8. Yeah I was annoyed too when I found out the ps5 doesn't have an optical port since that would have made things easy. Thank you for the ideas both of you!
  9. I'll preface by saying I don't really understand audio formats and signals very well. The scenario I have is the following: I have a pc and a ps5, and I would like to use a single headset and I presume some sort of audio amplifier to be able to feed both audio signals into the amplifier. I don't need to be able to listen to both signals simultaneously, but I would like to be able to switch between the two seamlessly. What would you all recommend?
  10. Ok so I've finally decided it's time to upgrade my cpu. The rest of the rig I've upgraded as needed and is suiting me well. The cpu is the last part to upgrade and is the more challenging decision to make. I'm running an x370 board for the 1700x so unless I get a 3rd gen ryzen, I'm looking at a mobo upgrade as well. My use has also changed. I don't do nearly as much video work on this pc, so it would primarily be a gaming rig. I'm wondering if it is wiser to pick up an Intel chip just because of the savings relative to AMD scalping? Or if I should try and find a 5th gen ryzen chip when they become available. I like to play new games at relatively decent settings. I also like to play some free games like fortnite and warzone at high fps. Let me know what you guys think.
  11. Hey guys, I'm trying to get 240fps stable in fortnite and warzone but I've noticed my fps fluctuates more than it used to. My gpu is an rtx 2080 so I'm left wondering if either my cpu needs an upgrade or if perhaps my ram speed is too slow. I heard from a friend that ryzen demands fast ram. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be much appreciated.
  12. Hey guys! I have 32gb of HyperX fury memory running at 2400mhz on an x370 Asus vi crosshair MOBO with a ryzen 7 1700x. I'm wondering if the ram frequency is holding back my gaming performance, or whether perhaps a cpu upgrade is necessary. I would like to play at 240 fps in fortnite and warzone. I have an rtx 2080 from gigabyte as my GPU.
  13. I can take a look and see, what should I be looking for exactly?
  14. I use HWmonitor and temps are decent. I'm playing at relatively low settings at 1080p though
  15. Hey everyone! My rig is struggling a little to maintain 240fps on fortnite which is confusing me a little bit. I have a ryzen 7 1700x, 32gb of ddr4 ram at 2400mghz and an rtx 2080 with the game installed on an m.2 drive. Is it likely the cpu causing the fps fluctuations? Or is it something else?
