mata-pombos got a reaction from suchamoneypit in Need someone to check my build (first time building pc)
Since skylake is overpriced at the moment i would suggest getting a i7 4790k and z97 board.
The d14 cooler is probably overkill for that cpu too.

mata-pombos reacted to D2ultima in The video RAM information guide
Ok. I did a SLI guide and now time to do a vRAM/memory bandwidth guide. A lot of people seem to be confused about vRAM in general. Well, here we go.
Let's clear up some misconceptions about vRAM!
What does vRAM size have to do with gaming?
Bonus: What happens if I don't have enough vRAM that a game asks for for certain settings?
And now resolution, Anti Aliasing and operating systems
And now about multiple monitors
Now, onto memory bandwidth and memory bus and such. You may wanna skip this if you know already and are only here for the vRAM size portion above, but I might as well be thorough if I'm doing this. Spoiler tags save the day!
vRAM types & memory clocks
Next, memory bus and memory bandwidth!
Extra: Memory bus + mismatched memory size section
And the GTX 970 gets its own section! Hooray!
FAQ
Windows 10 and nVidia 353.62
Final tidbits and stuff
I started writing this guy mainly for the top section, to denounce misinformation people seem to have regarding vRAM and its relation to memory bandwidth, but I figured I might as well just go the full mile and explain as best I can about what most people need to know about GPU memory anyway. If I've somehow screwed up somewhere, let me know. I probably have. I'll fix whatever I get wrong. And thank you to everyone who has contributed and corrected things I didn't get right! Unlike my SLI guide, much of the information here was confirmed post-writing.
If you want the SLI information or the mobile i7 CPU information guide, they're in my sig!
Moderator note: If you believe any information found in this guide is incorrect, please message me or D2ultima and we will investigate it, thank you. - Godlygamer23

mata-pombos got a reaction from don_svetlio in i3-4170 bottleneck
motherboards dont directly impact performance. And an i3 will do fine with that GPU, however in some games, like battelefield 4, there will be some bottlenecking

Lol who quotes toms hardware, they are just as big of a joke as the pcpartpicker community. The LTT one the 980Ti wasn't even out...

mata-pombos reacted to othertomperson in What Graphics Card shold i get?

mata-pombos got a reaction from kameshss in So i3 4150 with 750 Ti or A10-7850k with R7 250?

mata-pombos got a reaction from TheHelix in In Need Of A New GPU, Need Sugestions
best option is a r9 290, 2nd best in the r9 280x, 3rd best is r9 380 4gb
for the first two you need a good quality 550w power supply at least for stable powering
-
mata-pombos got a reaction from ddk96 in Is this power supply okay?
dont go corsair, corsair psus suck. 550 gold is enough for your system, but go with something like the coolermaster v550 or the evga gs 550, they are much better because they have japanese capacitors and evga has better warranty and custommer support.
-
mata-pombos got a reaction from Attrup in How much power would i need?
550w isn´t enough, they have a combined tdp of 500w just on their own. 750w at least for stable powering, you dont wanna cheap out on the wattage
