    Teradore reacted to _Omega_ in Upgradeing PC   
    What model?
    Well you can drop in something Like a 5700X and get a substantial upgrade over your 1700X, you can even put the 5800X3d in that board which is a beast for gaming, but i think the 5700X would be a more reasonable option.
     
    If you can find one used for a good price go for it, but keep in mind that the 3070(non-Ti) is better than the 2080 in close to all games and in terms of programs like after effects it should be at least the same as the 2080 or better

    yeah i don't think the marginal performance difference justifies one being almost twice as expensive as the other.  Frankly, if your editing does well on a laptop, the 5600 may be more than capable, as it games about the same as the 5700x in almost everything and costs about $60 less.  Though, the 8-core may be favorable if you get into heavier editing (but your GPU matters more for that anyway).
     
    With you're budget a used 3080 is totally doable and is WAY faster than the 2080.  The Dell/Alienware and HP ones are going for under $500 on eBay, and they are actually quite well-made boards and coolers.  I saw one of the Dell ones for $430 with a broken fan, which is awesome if you have extra fans as removing the entire fan assembly and ziptying 2x120mm PWM fans to the radiator usually leads to better cooling and noise than any AiB fan can ever provide.

    Honestly id say the extra $60 is worth it if its helpful for editing, as it would be nice to be able to do more on my desktop.

    Teradore reacted to PC HEROES in Upgrading GPU from 1060 GTX 6GB   
    You know what.... I really hate when people question my work. I have been in the business of PC building for almost 30 years and have personally built over 2500+ PCs. I know what I'm talking about, I didn't spend 15 years of my life and over $100,000 in tuition fees and materials learning this fine craft.
     
    His current CPU is way too under powered for a GPU like the RX 6950 XT. His B350 might have an update for a Zen 3 chip but still how long would it last with a new CPU? And lastly his Corsair TX model is a low tier model and not made for a a high end GPU like the RX 6950 XT, I wouldn't even put a RX 6700 with it.
     
    So please everyone, don't say that I'm giving bad advice. If I didn't know what he needed or how to help him I would not have replied to his inquiry.
     
    Please have a nice day!

    Hello... First the newer RX 6950XT would completely bottleneck your current CPU. I would recommend a whole system upgrade. And yes the newer Video Cards use more power, your Corsair TX model might handle it but I would not trust it, I would only use it in like a testing bench. I have a list for you below on what you should be using, not current gen but still extremely relevant.

    So I'm kinda curious what other peoples OWL teams are as most people i know don't really care. I personally root for the san fran shock because I'm a lucio main and after seeing moth play for the US in the world cup and decided I was just going to pick whatever OWL team he was on. i also jumped on the atlanta band wagon as my 2nd team after i saw them play their first game.

    Eventbrite is an excellent option. 
     
    If you charge for tickets, they take a cut (you have the option to pass on that fee to the customer or just eat it). 
     
    However, free events are zero fee. 
     
    For tips, you’re probably better off using like PayPal or something like that - not sure if there’s a tip feature built-in.

    Teradore got a reaction from LyondellBasell in Buy an entry level camera or just pay a little extra and get Galaxy s20 Ultra?   
    the galaxy s20 is definitely NOT 108 MP most pro cameras don't even go half that high, besides the sony A9 sony's most expensive and high end camera for photos is only 34 mp if you don't plan on learning photography get a phone because if you leave a camera on auto exposure... it's not going to do much better. real cameras are complex tools, you can get amazing pictures out of cameras... but you need to know how to use your tools.  if you are planning on getting into photography get an actual camera (a6000 is a great choice) and learn it. if you want to just snap a pic and have it look pretty good... get a phone. it all depends on what you plan to use it for.

    Had to take quite a lot of 'creative liberty' with the lady's face, as there was very little detail to work with.
    Not fully happy with that part, but I think it does fit with the rest of the picture! Let me know what you think.
     
    I made a full on 'remake' of the original, including the more square aspect ratio and also a 16:9 4K and 1080p version.

    wile all of this is good advice, to be completely honest I thing the A7III is your best option. mostly because your already familiar with it and you have one already witch means that if you need to run a 2 camera set up in future for any, unknown reason, you can do that without worrying about mating the images in post. And you already have lenses for it (id assume) witch might come in handy... all of these should be major pluses in my humble opinion. so bare that in mind as well as debating technical specs of a pile of different cameras that are all really good in there own ways.
