Gaming power usage:
-
Temperature doesn't matter, TDP matters.
-
The heat issues aren't an issue unless maybe you live in a hot area or a room/house with poor ventilation (my 290 heats up my room quite a bit). The 390 will perform similarly to the 970 at 1080p and better at >1080p. Also, you will be better off if you get another card for higher resolutions. I don't think 3.5GB or 4GB (whatever you want to call it) will be enough for some titles at 4k in SLI/Crossfire.
-
That is a 30Hz monitor, do not buy it.
-
I've been playing GTA 5 and BF4 at 4k for a while now, are those not AAA titles?
-
It provides amazing image quality, but is relatively very expensive to run.
-
The P2715Q is definitely a great value for a 4k monitor, and a 980ti is good enough for just about everything outside of newer AAA titles maxed out. If you want 4k, I'd go for it. That's the cheapest I've seen that particular monitor new, so I don't think it'll be too much cheaper on Cyber Monday. Don't forget about 1440p 144Hz monitors either, they're still a big jump from 1080p.

520watts or 620 watts? ~(SeaSonic M12II 80+ Bronze)
Fate replied to Efackus's topic in Power Supplies
520 -
I have the same, never had any issues with it hardware wise and I've had it for ~3 years. I bought a Deathadder about 6 months to a year after I bought the keyboard, and the mouse scroll wheel broke 6 months ago :\ I couldn't find any other mice I like for the same price so I bought another one. Oh, and before the Deathadder, I had a Naga Epic for a month or two, it was terrible (I returned it).

Add 8Gb RAM on a Dual Channel 2x4Gb RAM ?
Fate replied to Ddave's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
There may be a slight performance decrease, but more ram > faster ram. -
Looks great to me, should run just about every game at high or ultra. I would recommend getting an SSD as well, they really improve the computing experience.
-
No new cards in this price range are worth the upgrade to IMO. $200 for a ~20% performance increase/slightly higher textures is kind of silly. I would save up a bit more and get a 390, the 660ti is still a decent card (not a whole lot worse than a 960). Maybe you could get a used R9 290?
-
A 980ti will be significantly bottlenecked with an 8350 compared to a 6700k in most games and at 1080p, but you would get more performance going from a 760 ---> 980ti than 8350 ---> 6700k in games.
-
No bottleneck, but it'd be better to go with something like an XFX TS 550W. It's on sale for quite cheap right now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013 The CX series (sub 850W), are relatively poor quality and are not suited for higher end builds.
-
The G3258 was the budget "king" for about a month after release until people realized an i3 is quite a bit better. No, i3's are not irrelevant at all, but it's a good idea to save up another ~$50-60 to get a locked i5 instead (if you plan on getting a higher end GPU).
-
Battlefront 3 isn't available anymore so that would be pointless lol
-
I don't think you read my comment correctly. What I'm saying is, you cannot say for sure that you would have stuttered if you only had 8GB RAM, because when you have more RAM in your computer, you use more.
-
Your experience is irrelevant because you have 16GB RAM. Everybody knows that if you have more RAM, you use more RAM. I had plenty of programs open, including a couple Google Chrome tabs, and I didn't go over ~75% RAM usage. I have 8GB RAM.
-
The best for gaming IMO would be 32" 8k 165Hz IPS Freesync, assuming you can power it. Realistically though within the next few years, 28" 4k 144Hz IPS Freesync.

Is There an i5 that beats the i7 3770k?
Fate replied to Khajiit Dealer's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
An overclocked i5-6600k will beat a stock 3770k in pretty much everything, but that's an unfair comparison. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sxzGshuqVtFe_2zgRhN3gXCraR7d8p-NazJ6z0nsGGc/edit#gid=0 Look at the 4690k scores vs 3770k at around the same frequencies, you can assume a i5-6600k will score around 10% better than a 4690k. -
It dropped by $10 18 days ago and has stayed the same price ever since. Sounds like the normal price to me (for Microcenter).
-
This is the normal price.
-
Faster sequential reads/writes than my V300 SSD... So I'd say it's pretty good.
-
Turn your settings down a bit and use 1440p DSR. It's a tradeoff between eye candy settings and sharpness/less aliasing; the latter is much better IMO.
-
You can overclock on pretty much every LGA1150 mobo with a G3258 Yes, and an i3 is a lot better.
