I was not aware of this.
 
This is something I was wondering about but from what I've seen it hasn't been that prevalent 
 
🙂

Also check your power management settings in Windows. Maybe windows update made some changes and now your hardware is holding back.

Finally after a looong time i finished my current build. Almost a year has passed since then but i thought I'd share a few pictures now. Better late than never.
 Because at the time i was unable to find a decently priced 3080 I sold my GPU block again and went team red this time. I don't really care about raytracing so the 6900XT is a perfect fit for me.
And now enjoy the hardware porn 😉

That's it for now. Will keep you updated with more pictures when there's more progress.
Cheers!

 

And all this while STILL the search function is a complete pile of crap, dark mode not being implemented completely and major updates bricking machines around the world regularly. Why is Microsoft talking about "modernizing the Start Menu and File Explorer"?!

Oh dear, please no. We all know how that worked out the last time...

Similar discussion in the GPU thread as well https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1262841-amd-on-g-sync/ just for intreset.
 
Same here regarding monitors, I'm on an Acer Pred x34p so if I want anti tear got to head down the nVidia route.
 
Looking at the stats from briefing I think we're going to win either way. The 6800xt and 3080 look evenly matched and I think the same will show in benchmarks once Linus and co get their hands on them.
 
 

Get a decent CPU+GPU and an SSD for game storage. Also you want to get the best single core performance you can get your hands on.
And trust me that amount of mods on Skyrim is just a pain to get working properly.
Expect like 75% of your time fiddling with mods, 20% crashing and restarting the game and 5% of gameplay...

You know you're an old f#ck when you spend your RTX3080 money on a kitchen Aid... 
Well maybe for the first time in my adult life I will actually be able to make good food? 
Time will tell. 
 

 
This is probably the most famous piece of kitchen technology a German can have. 

You can't unfortunately. 
 
It was said that new G-Sync monitors will get support for AMD cards but if you already own the monitor you're out of luck... anyways, I'm not aware of any G-Sync monitor that exists that actually works with an AMD card. 
 
I also have a G-Sync monitor so we're on the same boat unfortunately
 

and in which video?
 
also they frequently use metric units or at least say what the equivalent metric would be.

This is what i was thinking. I think ima go for it  

If you don't want to game much anyway go with the 2060 and 9th gen CPU. You will have great gamin gperformance IF you play something but you will also have better battery life with the lesser GPU and newer gen CPU. Also the 60Hz OLED can be more power efficient than the 144Hz LCD.
 
edit: For 1080p60fps gaming the 2060 is plenty anyways.

Thank you, I’ll give it a try when I get back from work and Hope something happens haha.

This is a solid build, good selection.
The only obvious way to save some money would be to either pick lower grade hardware or to get some parts off the used market.Maybe you can fin da used 3600 for cheap or maybe a GTX 1080ti/1080 for a similar price.

Fun detail update!
 
I needed to embrace the radiator in the grill more by designing an additional feature. Radiator cap!
 
I designed a cap to fit the scale of the radiator and the angle it was mounted at. 3D printed, sanded, painted, and finally made a couple vinyl stickers to look like a classic caution (and of course a signature). More shots of this to come!
 

This is a little more picture heavy and word light. Time for the body work!
 
Like I said previously, I had to print the top in three separate pieces due to build volume limits. I had this creamy white color on hand so that is what I used. Black would have saved a little time since I would not have had to paint the underside black later on.
 


I test fit the pieces to just see how cool it looks!
 


One piece had a significant warp and a couple needed a light cleanup to be square so I decided to use the table saw. Using my crosscut sled I made a couple light passes on the faces to square them all up.
 


It cut okay but there was some plastic the re-melted to the cut face. I taped down a sheet of 120 grit sandpaper to the table and sanded away any of the material that remained so that the pieces would sit completely flush with one another.
 


I decided it would be best to glue the pieces together on the grill. This is because the spine fits in the groove pretty tightly. I don't want to be off the tiniest amount in my glue up and have to sand inside the groove to widen it so the piece fits back on.
 
I put a little tape on the areas that had a chance of getting superglue on them just to be safe. I also taped the front piece tight to the front of the grill so it was centered and sturdy.
 


I really like using the small gel super glue tubes and I ended up using one complete tube for each of the slices. I then simply slid the 3D printed piece down the spine and pressed them together tightly for a little bit.
 



Bondo time. Mixed some up on a piece of plastic, grabbed a soft squeegee, and put a modest layer over the entire surface as quickly as I could.
 






   
I waited about 30 minutes and then hit the bondo with 120 grit sandpaper wrapped around a small wood block. I block sanded the bondo in a cross hatch pattern until I started touching through to the plastic.
 


The print lines and seams were mostly gone now but I could feel a couple areas that were low when I ran my hand across the part. Sooooo..
 


After the second coat of Bondo I block sanded the part again until I was happy and the part looked and felt great.
 


I gave the part a quick wipe down with some diluted isopropyl alcohol and sprayed around 6 coats of primer probably with a couple minutes between each. A day later I wet sanded that primer with some finer sandpaper. Sanding the primer took out the remaining surface defects and couple pinholes that remained after the Bondo.
 


 
Another wipe down with the alcohol and then I was spraying the red down. So fun to spray a flashy red on a curved part like this!
 


 
On the second to last coat I blasted a little bug right out of the air and into my paint job of course.
 


Surgical bug extraction, a final coat of red paint, and a few minutes later, it was clear top coating time. Like the sides, this had many coats so that I could have material to sand and polish after it dried. Around 5 heavy coats.
 


A couple days later I took to wet sanding. Started with 1000 grit and then moved to 1500. After I was happy with that I buffed, polished, and waxed. I took some fun progress photos as I went.
 




 
And of course I had to put it in the grill the moment I was done!
 

Like the others said, don't cheap out on a PSU. You'll regret it otherwise. When your PSU goes down, it can take the whole system (or even your house) with it. Get a good unit.
 
700W+ Tier A
 
Also, a good PSU can last you 10+ years, so think again if 50$ more will be worth it when you think about your use time. For example the Corsair RMx series has 10 years warranty.
