OK, quality question answered, thank you, I believe I knew that. But could it encoder the video any faster? It's not like I'm capping either of the things out entirely with bandwidth. It's just 1-2 1080p streams

It's hard to tell if your specific GPU is sagging by how the picture is taken. I believe it is a bit but no more than mine and is little concern. Easy fix and chopping up a pencil and sticking it under it in the right place is another option.

Hi so planning next pc build and I realized that because of the amount of anime and video that I file through trying to make sure I'm not blowing the bank on storage I convert the most that I can to h.265 cause you know better file sizes. I was going to basically rebuild the internals of my pc once "Big Navi" hits (Hopefully it's the winner we need it to be) and I was looking over stuff about how I could improve that. I more want the best times that I can get and was wondering what was the most efficient for this? I saw stuff about the amd encoder being a mess or something and in my experience with nvenc on a 1080 it's been pretty swell (taking a 20ish minute endeavor down to about 2-3 minutes on a r5 2600 on the same 1.4gb BC episode). tldr: What's an efficient supplementary gpu to get for video encoding that's more focused on fast render on x265 times but still retains quality on the somewhat cheap? If something can beat my 1080 I'll be happy, then again I would also love to save space in my machine!

Sorry to pick at this, but you wont be getting that triple die setup unless you spring for a Ryzen 9. The 7's would only have 2 making latency a smaller issue then it would have been otherwise. I am also trying to consider what kind of memory to move to when I upgrade and I suppose the sweet spot as some would say is closer to that 3600MHz Buildzoid Rambled about the whole situation in his X570 video a few hours ago. It's also just a general rule that if you want more capacity, you'll be having lower speeds if you don't want to break the bank, cause at $150 usd right now you can get a 3600MHz 2x16 kit, which still boggles my mind being someone who started their pc building whatever at the height of Crypto and RAM shortages

Hey All, Pretty soon here I’ve been thinking about buy a more gaming laptop cause if certain things come to pass I won’t have the space required for my current desktop set up and will need to have something. So looking into it I was thinking for a good portable set up that I get that new Zephyrus G with a 1660ti plus a R7 so pretty good. Only all it’s got is 2 PCIe M.2 slots for storage means, coming with a 512 drive by default. Among other things that I’ll likely do to it if I end up getting this one (still on the fence about which laptop to actually get) I want to utilize both slots with 2 1TB m.2 drives, all I really want to know is if 2 NVMe drives are supported at once (and if I can raid them together, cause I saw somewhere that apparently both slots are PCIe 2x so, gotta get the most performance possible too). I couldn’t really find anywhere that actually said if I could put 2 nvme in the computer at once.

3133? yo I forgot about that. The only reason I am concerned is because I'm trying to etch out every bit that I can since you know ryzen and ram and stuff. But hell, Ram is plummeting in price and I am kinda planning on nearly rebuilding post Ryzen3000 and Navi launches so, yeah

Same speed same timings 1:1. I thought I purchased the same kit (both times from amazon) twice so I am almost 100% sure that they are the exact same in terms of product numbers

So recently I ordered a second 2 x 8 kit of Corsair LPX 3200MHz ram just cause I saw a sail and thought, yeah, unlimited multitasking for my gaming oriented computer. However, I plot them into my board and I get both random crashes or outright refusal to start from the computer when I initially put them in. I tried swapping the slots the separate kits were installed into and that made things marginally better, however now I can only run the system at 3000 rather than the advertised 3200 that both kits are rated for. I know it could be a straight up incompatibility but I would like to thing that I could somehow get things working. I tried updating the BIOS of the computer. Eh, tried leaving timings on Auto and putting in what they should be running at at the 3200 speed. Still doesn't work. Tried hiking the voltage up to 1.385 and that didn't really help/saw no deference. I tried the two kits separately and they worked completely fine at the rated speeds and timings. Because things got a little bit better when I messed with what dimm was in what slot I feel like the motherboard could be at fault? Any help is much appreciated.

So a little while back I was dicking about with liquid metal and just experimenting with my computer all around until sadly I somehow screwed up the first two DIMM slots on my motherboard. I don't know what on earth happened, but the rest of the board appears to work except those two slots. When they are populated they can be seen in BIOs but can't be used in Windows. My concern here isn't about fixing the board, since I wasn't planning on adding new RAM anyway. I really just want suggestions about if I should replace it now with a X470 board or wait for it's next generation equivalent? Currently I have a Gigabyte AX370-Gaming-K7 and found that it's the board that is holding back my chip while Overclocking rather than the actual chip (a Ryzen 5 1600X) So I kinda just wanted to get a better one anyway, I didn't even mean to buy the board in the first place. In addition to that, which boards are best for Overclocking? I was looking at the Asus Prime X470 Pro but I don't know if I should just jump to the ROG one instead? how much of a difference would i be able to see? Eventually I would also like to jump onto the Ryzen 3000 series, since hopefully the two generation newer chip could hopefully help out my computer quite a bit. So maybe having all the bells and whistles would be a stellar idea? Help is appreciated.

So I know this isn't a particular root of my problems with my card (an on-going phenomenon as I talk to EVGA more) But for various reasons I had to take my card apart and replace the thermal paste- only the thermal pads on the 1080 ftw2 are extremely easy to rip and the sort so yeah (and i would assume most gpus?), my unskilled hands did as much. I could more or less be perfectly fine with how they are now, but I was really thinking about getting them replaced. Now one my real questions is what should I really be buying? I know Arctic and Thermal Grizzly and a bunch of brands sell thermal pads but I first don't know how much I will actually need (thus making things seems quite expensive when looking into Grizzly's offerings) So leading into my next question is, How much do I need and what should I be getting for two different options. The first being complete performance base, the next being the best cost to performance. If anyone has a suggestion to say some alternative thing I could use that offers great temps on all the nonsense that has to be cooled in a graphics card I am totally open to it. The actual questions What brand of thermal pads should I be getting for performance What general pads should I get for cost/performance How much thermal pad will I need to completely replace the pads on a 1080 ftw2 Has anyone had a high success rate using something other than thermal pads in their graphics card for better cooling performance

Hi, So after I put together a massive mound of money to buy a new pc that can actually do something more then puke in my face when I ask it to open chrome I realized that the monitors I had around my house just wouldn't really cut it for the hardware I am packing now. I am looking to get a high refresh rate display hopefully with G-sync within the ballpark of $500 USD by the end of this month for my own birthday. The only problem is after looking into things I have found that there are just a large variety of options on top of worry myself with reviews about how the monitor may come with dead pixels or whatever defect. Bottom line is, I am looking to consult the community about what I should be doing with this money. I would love to have in addition to the previous prerequisites 1440p since I do have a gtx 1080 and I can still get around 120 or more in esports titles easy at that resolution, not that it matters terribly with gsync in the mix. I just don't know which one to get and would love the help of the community on trying to decide what I should get. Right now I'm looking at the Dell S2716DG, is there something better and/or more reliable within my price point that anyone thinks I should go for??

Noted, thank you there might be 4 with the length I need that came with the case

Hi, quick question So I plan on adding two more fans to my Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 so that I can start doing a push pull config but as I was looking it would seem that mounting such things into the case (a corsair 400C) would require extra screws of some sort that I do not have. I tried checking the boxes that I still have and no real luck there. I would just like to know the smaller details of what is involved when things don't actually come with specific things in mind. to specify. it seems that it would be difficult to have the two extra fans mounted to the radiator and getting the thing mounted to the front of the case which is where I have the radiator. I'm probably sounding a little stupid for this question but I just like to be prepared. Thank you for your assistance.

I don't exactly know how the 700 series performs in general. But yes that's what I was planning on doing anyway now that I can wait to get an actual new card. Thank you for the input I will see what that is gonna mean for me.

If I am gonna be honest yes I do.
