Is it worth it to try and sell them, or try to complete the sets?

I have over 1,000 games on Steam, and half as much in trading cards.

I want to figure out what I should do with them.

GOG 2.0? GOG Galaxy 2.0?

This is exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you!

This looks like what I need.

I am going to give it a try.

Thank you!

Which 5700XT do you have?

I would recommend going to the manufacturer's website and checking for a vBIOS update, followed by a clean driver install.

That should fix your issues.

I did this for my ASUS ROG STRIX model, and I haven't had any of the known driver issues since.

I would recommend upgrading the 2070S.

I think that would be the best bang / buck for VR upgrade.

a 1060 can still do VR, but the RX 580 / GTX 1060 have always been the bare minimum for a serviceable experience.

Oculus also has a custom SDK for the Turing NVENC to do more believable ASR:

I think that'll be your night and day difference.

RAM is cheap now too, so I would recommend you pursue that as well with faster memory that can carry over to your next system.

Hi!

I am looking for an app / portal that you can link your Steam / Epic / Origin / GOG / Etc. accounts together so you know what games you own and where.

I own over 1,000 games, so it would be nice to know

Thank you!

Pretty much whatever 280mm aio, the new xt radiators from Corsair are sexy as hell if you can find them.

I forgot to report back.

Thank you for the suggestion.

We did go with a 280mm AIO, and we were able to hit 4.3ghz all core with ease under stress tests.

This is a gaming + VM box, so he is very happy

Hi all!

As the title describes, I am looking for a cool 240mm radiator with full RGB for my buddy's 3900X.

We are going to Micro Center on Saturday, and I am curious as to what you guys think!

For reference he has a Ryzen 9 3900X in an X570-F motherboard and a Fractal Design Meshify-C case.

Thanks!

With the 1st gen, most likely you'll have to down-clock after installing 4 sticks (or 2 dual-rank sticks).

It may be worth it to sit at 16GB until I absolutely need to upgrade my RAM.

I do not want to take a performance hit unless I have to.

At the very least, I figure I could set some aggressive timings to get equivalent performance at 2933.

it will hit atleast 3000mhz

Hopefully :).

it has not improved, just buy the same kit

I have a feeling it will have to down clock to 2933 to hit those speeds, or will I be able to sustain 3200?

The challenges

I am hoping there are others here who have attempted similar.

I have been considering upgrading my RAM to 32GB in my current build.

My challenge is, I do not want to downclock below DDR4 3200 speeds to do it.

Has the memory support improved enough to not worry? The same kit I bought 2 years ago is on sale currently, so sticking with a proven kit may help, but I am not 100% sure.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Ive looked at the Nvme 4 drives and so far the theory doesnt translate into a real world difference. Plus they run hotter. 

You say that, but it really is a major boost for those doing content creation and running a home server. More bandwidth and faster read/write speed will always be better for those types of use cases. For gaming? You can only load a game so fast. They are getting bigger though, so it is an only a matter of time until that is beneficial.

That's why, IMO, the faster storage is the biggest perk of PCI-E 4.0. I bet in 3-5 years, We will all be itching for those speeds. It's just how the technology goes.

GPU- while going with rx 5700 or 5700 xt should i go with developer edition or after market edition. 2. STORAGE- with crucial p1 what do you recommend for more storage for only storing my files. 3. CASE- there are soooooooo much to choose but the key point is i don't wanna spend whole lot of money on that and want it to be good in respect to air flow in it.   is there any correction in those things or u can refer something better will be helpfull you guys are great supporters though very much thankful to you  all. @Jon Jon @BTGbullseye @Streetguru

I would get DDR4 3600 memory just to max out the CPU.

I can vouch for both the D15 and the Corsair RMx PSU. Both in my build are great.

If you are getting an RX 5700XT, People love the Powercolor Red Devil. It has an awesome cooler for the price.

Yes it is. My current rig will be 6 years old this spring. Until recently is has been "acceptable". The only upgrade made was adding a 1tb SSD.  With the tech changing faster and faster and if the games keep pace then it will be a major ask for sure. 

With that said, X570 and Ryzen 3000 is the way to go.

X570 is the most future proof platform on the market, thanks to supporting much faster storage and the new PCI-E spec.

In all of my years doing this stuff, I'd say having that stuff is probably more important than everything else.

With Socket AM4, you can go up to Zen 3 without much issue. RAM and Storage are easier to upgrade. Video cards will be upgraded.

Changing your entire platform because you want faster storage and video cards a few years from now potentially being limited by PCI-E 3.0? That's a heavier lift.

People here may argue that we are a long time away from needing PCI-E 4.0 for graphics, but I think if we make any major advancements in ray tracing compute, we will hit that wall sooner rather than later.

6 years is a major ask.

Just get the 2070S and an 8C/16T CPU.

Don't get anything less.

Then another noteworthy point: Though now 6 cores are perfectly fine for gaming, who knows what the future brings? I think, 2700 is a pretty good value CPU, and 2nd gen Ryzen generally still has better price-to-performance ratio than 3rd gen. At least for the moment.

 

With a decent B450 board (MSI MAX series: MSI B450 Gaming Plus MAX, A-pro MAX, Tomahawk MAX, Mortar MAX) you can OC an eight core CPU without issues. Then later, the extra two cores of the 2700 could prove beneficial, esp for min FPS and 0.1-1% lows. In my country, now the 2700boxed can be bought for ~150 USD with games included, whereas 3600 is above 200USD, and one must get an aftermarket cooler for both of these anyways.

 

The 2700 sounds better value and more futureproof, than the 3600. The latter is marginally faster in games, though.

It is true.

I was toying around with AC: Origins yesterday and was surprised to see it consume 8 threads. I look into it, and apparently that game will gobble up compute if you have it.

dont buy an adapter (read the linked product) "up to 1920x1080@60Hz" ... you dont get 144 hz with that shit, you need an active dvi-dp adapter which is over 100€.

there are options for example 2060 Super:

 

Gainward GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Ghost, 8GB GDDR6, DVI, HDMI, DP (1198)

PNY GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Dual Fan, 8GB GDDR6, DVI, HDMI, DP (VCG20608SDFPPB)

Palit GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Dual, 8GB GDDR6, DVI, HDMI, DP (NE6206S018P2-1160A)

ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER OC Evo, DUAL-RTX2060S-O8G-EVO, 8GB GDDR6, DVI, 2x HDMI, 2x DP (90YV0DF0-M0NA00)

 

That's a great catch! I missed that!

DVI will not ngive you 144hz.  See if you can get a 27" those 2 and half inches matter so your not 3 inches away to see stuff, but then again depends on what resolution you play.  If you play at 1080p then your fine with the Dell but if you want 1440p or higher then 27" is the minimum for that.

DVI does do 144hz at 1080P, which is the target.

He can easily just get a display port to DVI adapter for cheap on Amazon. I did as my secondary monitor is DVI only (It is 11 years old, lol).

Below is the one I bought and works fine with my RX 5700 XT:

Now i'm getting around the 60 i believe but it drops drastically in team fights, or close combat due to the smoke etc

 

Thanks alot for the help im hyped now to buy a new setup. The amd ryzen is better than any i5/i7 ? Dont know about the RX 5700 gpu because I've always been an nvidia user, im comfortable with the driver settings and know what to change for the best performance, I'm a bit skeptic about AMD, so i'll guess i go with the 2060s/2070s

 

16GB DDR4 3600 RAM - 115eu

Ryzen 5 3600 w/ stock cooler / 3700 - 200-350eu

Socket AM4 (B450) motherboard / x570 - 150eu max

and an RTX 2060S / RX 5700 - 450eu

 

1,1k ish rip muh cash lel. So this setup would do??

That setup would be great for what you are targeting.

Yeah, sadly for what you are targeting, you need a new machine.

I personally have a bit of the itch to upgrade even with my Ryzen first gen as I am starting to target 100-200fps in all games, and I can tell my 5700XT is being held back a bit by it.

For example, I notice in Quake Champions, even on low, I can only peak at 120fps~.

Hopefully yes,

but the temp is reaching upto 82 degrees...

so will have ti plan on buying another fan

You could enable vSync and set an FPS limit to also reduce the need of the card.

I don't consider 82C to be that hot at full load, but I am also used to running AMD cards where it isn't uncommon for them to run 75C-85C at full load (from my experience).

What is your fan layout in the case?

What CPU cooler are you using?

Some positive air pressure tweaks I think could reduce temperatures. 

Here is a good thread on Anandtech discussing your card:

https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2060-super-max-temperatures.2567825/

It looks like this isn't that uncommon for the Gigabyte model, but it is within safe operating temperatures.

What frame rates are you getting now?

I would plan to do a full upgrade to ensure you get what you are asking for.

For the price of a 2080, you could get:

16GB DDR4 3600 RAM

Ryzen 5 3600 w/ stock cooler

Socket AM4 (B450) motherboard

and an RTX 2060S / RX 5700

That will get you the frame rates you are looking for too, while getting you better performance for basically everything else.

You can even spring for an after market cooler to overclock the Ryzen 5 too if you aren't hitting 144hz, but tbh, I am hitting 150+ fps in most esports titles with my Ryzen 7 1700 at 3.9ghz with an RX 5700XT just fine, so I imagine a Ryzen 5 3600 with the stock cooler will do the job without an issue.

What are you basing this on?

I think most of us are running RX 5700s on PCI-E 3.0.

I personally have no performance hit or issues.

I wonder how much GTX 1070tis are going for on ebay, when you can find an RTX 2060 for $300~ USD right now for similar performance, and all of the new features.

I would take @Streetguru's advice.

A GTX 1070ti is quite supported on all capable video editing programs.

Your system is fine, the software you are using needs to change.

Had to do some tweaking to get a good experience in some games mind you, HUD to too far spread on some games. Had to force 3840 x 1440 in The Outer Worlds and max out the FOV 120, but once that was done, all good. And on the plus side, you get a frame rate increase by doing so! 

 

Total war is epic in full 5120 x 1440.

 

Still to test HDR. Shall fire up tomb radier that one.....

 

I guess you gotta expect some tweaking in the world of PC and ultrawide!

 

Yeah and not many reviewers really cover ultra-wide benchmarks.

I actually do a bit of guess work as 2560x1080 is right in between 1080P and 1440P, so looking at both gives me an idea of what I'll get.

In your case, it really will be some guess work. I am impressed by your performance with the 5700XT though.

Just got the GIGABYTE RTX 2060 Super..., I'm happy with my upgrade...

Witcher 3 - 80 FPS avg.

AC Odyssey - 62 FPS avg.

Both games were at max. graphic settings.

That's awesome!

I mean, you are targeting 1080p60, so that card will last you a good while for that on high/ultra settings.
