    An XPG SX6000 is not too slow for any of those games. There is another issue here, or the drive itself is dying. Why those choices for SSDs? Personally, I'd stick to Samsung or WD.

    Pretentious elitism is a staple of the PC "master race", it's time to grow up guy with furry avatar.

    Buy it, eBay buyer protection will give you your money back.

    The cheapest one with the best game bundle.

    These tiers don't make sense and are arbitrary. There's no defining characteristic of each tier so this list is effectively useless as a ranking. While I agree that all of the units on tier 1 are good, I don't know why they're better than tier 2 or 3, or why 7 is worse than 6, etc.

    Sounds like a power supply issue. Does it shut down at idle or just under load? Download Prime95 & FurMark, run both at the same time and see if it shuts down.

    I don't think you understand the chart, I'd be more than happy to explain it, but AFAIK, political discussion is not allowed on this forum.

    The US. There is no other answer. "Mass shootings" are an EXTREME statistical anomaly and are not a day-to-day threat. And if you're really scared, you can arm yourself to protect your property and life.

    Car thread right now. We need it.

    Buy an X470 or good B450 board to guarantee compatibility.

    Can you run another 3d application and see if it does this? try 3dmark or furmark.
  12. MellowCream
    Nope, a 960 should run 2k just fine.

    The G4560 would seriously bottleneck that 1070. Might want to look into getting a Ryzen 5/ Core i5.

    AMD drivers are better than Nvidia drivers, I've used both. The control panel for AMD blows Nvidia's away, like it's not even close. Now AMD has AMD Link which adds a bunch of cool new stuff as well.

    The Vega 64 is about 5-8% slower on average than a 1080.
  16. MellowCream
    but as i mentioned, amd has been good with performance, especially with the mid range cards that people buy, like the 580/70 etc
  17. MellowCream
    Such a bad answer, no substance
  18. MellowCream
    Can someone please explain this to me? AMD made solid cards with the 480 & 580, Vega 56, 64 etc... Why does Nvidia seem to have this unstoppable hold, it's almost cultish. AMD is making a major comeback in CPUs, and will certainly take over the datacenter within 2 years. Why can't they compete with Nvidia on the graphics side?

    Are you going to be overclocking? If not, go with a non-k CPU and a cheaper mobo. Moreover, if you're doing content creation the 2700x from AMD should be an option, in certain workloads it's definitely faster and it's a bit cheaper too. Single channel RAM will slow some things down pretty significantly. Here's something I whipped up: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xGPjNQ

    what res?

    The 8700k @ stock gets a 1230 Cinebench r15 score, if we divide 1230 by 6 (the core count) we get 205, that's the score per core. 205 times 8 cores for the new chips is still only 1640, which is about the speed of a 1800x, the new 2700x is scoring 1800+. Keep in mind Intel is still on 14nm, as they've been for years. This isn't innovation, this is stagnation from a company that hasn't experienced competition in long time.

    10 core Ryzen when
  23. MellowCream
    so the 8086k is $420, and the 8700k is $330, what is the point of an extra $90 for a slightly binned CPU?
  24. MellowCream
    also, make sure you're using something like ryzen master for the temps.
  25. MellowCream
    you must have your cooler mounted incorrectly, idle temps should be 30-40 at the most.
