    First ever was a Pentium 3 Coppermine T revision. Given my dad was super into this stuff all the time I take it he picked all that. First one I vividly remember was an old dell mATX tower my Mom had. Think it was a low end Core 2 tower with a first gen LCD monitor and just powerful enough graphics to play flash games smoothly. First I bought myself was an AMD A-8 based system with an SSD and HDD but no GPU with a 1600x900 monitor that gave me some good times. First build was an R5 2400G with an 570 and currently on a rolling upgrade lol.

    Would do but these were mining cards and my monitor isnt up to snuff for a 980ti. The 580 is a hold over til I get a high refresh and a newer monitor with adaptive sync and next gen mid range or higher end stuff with a full system overhaul.

    Thanks for the feedback bois alas my case is too small to fit the girth of the 2 cards. But ill say this I got one for $60 plus another I can use for a friend or so!

    Holy balls guys I managed to grab two RX 580's for $120 total. Slapping both of these on ASRock B350m-Pro4 with a R5 2400G may upgrade to a 2600 but I'm posting this more out of curiosity to what you guys might think as most of the games i play and plan to play all have crossfire profiles. Should O under-volt/overclock or just under-volt or any tips you guys reccomend?

    NVM Probably a 4790K or a 4770K. youll need all them threads unless you can squeeze together a little more for a 1600af build and a used b350-450 mobo or even an A320 board.

    Whats your price range for an upgrade bud?

    If you're using cad and doing serious work get the Radeon VII. It'll still work well in games and eat more power but its stronger than the original Titan Volta. High bandwidth cache will also help as well for larger files. (Tweakers delight as well)

    Sounds like a bad PCI-E link. Check your motherboard and gpu connection. If not try reseating the gpu and power connectors in their respective slots. If that doesn't work you'll either need a new board or gpu.

    I would honestly drop the 1070 and go 2070 super or RX 5700XT (for dat PCIE Gen-4) and go VR and explore a new medium of gaming. Second monitor is pretty cool in theory but if you orient them correctly in windows it takes away the issues, but more often than not it goes unused or is used for performance monitoring (imo). Reality is I'm suggesting a new medium of gaming but no matter what you choose you'll still be ripping and shredding with the best.

    Do you want a list of parts? And will you only be gaming or will this pc make you money as well?

    OC your 2080. The RT doesn't utilize RT cores on RTX that's TBD 2020 from Nvidia.

    I got a quite a few. 1) Vega wasn't bad and will age very well as DX12 and vulkan become more adopted. 2)Nvidia will be struggling with RDNA for the foreseeable future. Turing will be struggling against RDNA on the gaming side while Arcturus (MegaVega) will be crushing it on the compute/datacenter. 3)Many people don't need ATX, MATX will be more than enough for cpu,gpu,cooler so on. Unless you need 3 or more add in cards MATX will be a better more affordable for budget people. And shifting to that standard will have more manufacturers bring higher end boards to that standard. 4) 120hz will be the next standard. 60 is going the way of 30Hz. (I was still adamant about 60Hz but got to try 120Hz and now I get it.) 5) Intel on desktop will essentially be bulldozer especially when Zen 3 launches. But intel on laptop will be hands down the only options especially with foveros and the Intel version of "Little Big" with Willow Cove Cores with a larger highly binned Rocket Lake Cores. Feel free to rebuttal I am always willing to hear some fresh perspectives.

    TL;DR: No limit so long as its elective connection to any network public or private. NeuraLink (the 5G network variants). DONT DO IT. Asides from that I would have to say an always online type of anything (bar cellular). Think about what your machine is capable of on its own. As enthusiasts I think we forget about what our machines can do that's not reliant on the internet and focus more on what they can't do. Don't get too caught up in the rat race for the bleeding edge. I know we see our tech as an extension of ourselves but to others they become the extension of it. Forgive my ranting guys I don't get to talk too much about this.

    Though a little high on ebay youll often find 570's used for 70-80 but if you need the specific form factor then yes its a good deal.

    The new bios revisions favor the Zen 2 boosting stats. I'd say turn off XFR and PBO or lock the fan speed that will be consistent at keeping it cool under load but not too loud for your taste. You'll do all this in bios.
  16. Dkunky
    Yes the XT is going to be worth it. Even a $425 2070 non super doesn't hold up in terms of price to performance. The ROG Strix card is going to be at a premium because of design. Bear in mind that there's more performance on the table as well with powerplay tables should you choose to do so. I'd get a dual fan or perhaps a a triple fan and go for broke in an undervolt overclock to save energy. Or just say screw it and get the tables and crank it to 2.3GHz. All of this as well doesn't take in to account that this will age like the HD 7970 and will continue to get better as games are optimized for it.
  17. Dkunky
    Zen 2 doesn't overclock well but if you want to tweak the power use to get to stable lower Temps and turn on PBO and hit those boost clocks all day long. But you could save the $50 and go non XT and get the power play tables and get it to 1900MHz with a decent aftermarket card since you're looking into overclocking anyway. Depending on the game you might be close to an overclocked Vega64 or 1080ti(stock).

    The XT trades blows with the 2070 and in some cases the super. Both have their own encoders. The NVIDIA one is a bit better but you could just use cpu as you'll have the cores and threads to do so. So the XT is better value wise than the 2070 and if you're a tweaker you can use the power tables to get within striking distance of a 2080. Plus the software is a little bit better imo. But the NVENC encoder is superior to the Radeon counterpart. So really as always it depends.

    Thanks for the input you guys much appreciated!
  20. Dkunky
    Yeah so long as the lows are Ok and either will be fine
  21. Dkunky
    Oh I forgot to mention, this is for a new rig so ill probably be moving up to a 3600x
  22. Dkunky
    Breh can you not read.
  23. Dkunky
    Sounds good to me thanks for the video! Very informative .
  24. Dkunky
    Sweet, the ED7 is a 100Hz panel with Freesync
  25. Dkunky
    Hey guys I'm putting together a list and I thought I'd see what you guys think of the 5700XT as an option. I'm planning on getting a 3440x1440 Acer ED7 34" and I like eye candy so 60 fps is my target.
