But why would making it UEFI-only cause a newer card to not display anything? Why did my RX 460 work with CSM disabled?

I just got an RX 580 to replace my RX 460 (the fan broke ) and I am having a weird issue with the new card. With the RX 580 installed, the system powers on but shows nothing on the screen. No motherboard logo, no Windows loading, but... then Windows actually loads and everything works! I reset the BIOS, by pulling the CMOS battery, and then when I rebooted, I did get a picture on the screen during boot up. It seems that with CSM disabled, I do not get anything on the screen during boot. With with CSM enabled, then I do. I've searched around and I've seen things like "update your GPU's BIOS". It says "UEFI" in GPU-Z, and oddly enough the RX 460 didn't have this issue and worked fine with CSM disabled or not. Is there an issue with my RX 580 and do I need to RMA it? Is there a way to update the GPU's BIOS without bricking anything? Should I just leave CSM enabled even though I don't need it on?

Thanks! I looked into that, and it looks like I need to add money to my "roaming balance". I did that, and now I can spend $0.06/min to make calls (and $0.02/text)! ?

Cool! Yeah I can totally help you out. We'll just have to pick somewhere to meet up and make sure we can identify each other. I will have access to my phone, just trying to keep it low due to high "roaming" costs. Send me a PM and I can give you my number and stuff :-D

Is it worth the extra few bucks to get the 2600x over the 2600? Or is the even more extra worth it to get the 2700 (over the 3600)? I'm probably gonna get the R5 2600, but I'm still arguing with myself over what I should do >.>

I didn't really consider going to an older gen Ryzen like the 1600. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into what those guys cost. I do eventually want to upgrade from the RX 460, but since I already have it, I'll keep using it for now.

I already have a B450 board, since I was able to get it for cheap (+rebate). According to ASRock, the board should support the 3600. My thought was to get a 2600, as that should probably be fine, but I just wondering what people thought, and if I should buy now or wait if/for prices to drop...

So, since AMD dropped their crazy new Zen2 chips, I assume prices will drop on the "old" Zen+ line. I'm in the process of building a new gaming computer, and I'm debating what processor to get. My current machine uses an Intel Xeon E5450 (basically a Core 2 Quad Q9650), 8GB DDR2 and an AMD Radeon RX 460. So, basically whatever chip I decide to buy will be an upgrade and stop bottle-necking the GPU (right?). I'm not sure what I should. Do I get a Ryzen 5 2600 for like $140? Spend a bit more to get a Ryzen 5 2600x for $160? Or drop $200 on the new Ryzen 5 3600? Or spend that same $200 on a Ryzen 7 2700? What CPU would you suggest I get? Or should I keep waiting and see if the 2600 or 2700 drop in price even more?

I am going to the 7/26 1:00pm LMG office tour, and since I'll have a rental car I'll have seats to give other people a ride there. My hotel is in between the convention center and the LMG office, about a half hour from my hotel to each one. So, if anyone is going on the same tour and would like a ride, let me know. Just FYI, I'm coming from the US and my phone probably won't have service in Canada, but I'm sure I can find WiFi at a Tim's or something EDIT: I added money to my "roaming balance" to use my phone in Canada, thanks guys for suggesting I look into that. EDIT 2: I have @Kolbykheese(+1) joining me in my car, so I think we're all good here

That's what I did too. I saw an open timeslot and grabbed it. Maybe you can trade with someone?

Keep trying. Try a different browser. You'll get a tour

THEY JUST DID! GO CHECK! MORE TOURS AVAILABLE!

THERE ARE MORE TOURS AVAILABLE!!!! EVERYONE GO GET ONE!!!!

I missed getting a VIP ticket or a tour I had to answer a stupid reCAPTCHA and then it told me to refresh the page and when I did they were gone. WTF Tixr, that's not nice.

I tried to get a VIP ticket right as they were available, but when I clicked "buy" I saw an error telling me to refresh. When I did that, I noticed they were sold out, but it said "2 left". So, then I tried to get a tour, and when I clicked "buy" I saw an error telling me to refresh. When I did that, I noticed they were sold out, but it said "5 left". I don't know if it was because I took too long answering the stupid reCAPTCHA (having to click on pictures of cars or whatever). Are you going to offer more VIP and/or tour tickets? I'm sad that I was not able to get one.
