Just a heads up, when i overclocked the i5 (9600K) to 4.8 or 4.9 (i cannot remember) there wasnt a large difference in the frames in most of the games i was playing, except for one, Gta V, this game for some reason did not like the overclock and preformed 20-30% worse than what it should have been using a stock 9600K paired with a 2070 (also adding the point that this overclock was stable, in that i stressed it for over 24hrs and it never went above 90 degrees and didn't blue screen or anything to say there was something wrong, everything else was fine, just gta, i was getting around 60 - 75fps, should have been closer to 100, also i was running at high, and the 100fps mark is for ultra  settings so it wasnt preforming that well, at first i didnt know what it was that was the problem, then i thought of the overclock a few days later and removed it, it was good, gta was running a lot closer to expected)

 

also anytime mate, its what the fourms are for  

Wonderful, I could probably get a stable OC on the 2070S since I'm going for the Gigabytes 3 fan model. I could get some juice out of it too, probably around 5% increase which could result in a 10-20 fps bump! ^^

yeah i would rather go 144hz if im getting 160 frames over 240 as every time the monitor wants a new image there will be a new one for the monitor rather than it waiting for an image,

i was getting 140 - 170 in ground war on high settings, if i turned v-sync on it lowered to between 60 and 75 so i would suggest leaving v-sync off, though in mordern warefares defense the cpu usage when the game launched was between 25 and 35% and after the first update till now, it sits between 50 and 80% usage on my 9900k so im not sure how some others are finding the experience

tbh i would not get the 240hz monitor as the reason i went from a 2070 to 2080 super was that mordhau was running at 80 - 115fps on my 144hz monitor (paired with a 9600k), with the 2070

 

basically i adjust the settings in any game i play so it sits above 100frames (including the 0.1% lows), usually the games run at above 144hz (may only be slightly) and dip below every now and again i was offering, im just sitting here watching House .M.D on one monitor while i wait for this thing to 3D print so i can then sleep lol, got about 1hr and a half left on the print

Thanks a lot for these stats, info and your time dude. Imma get the 2070S for sure and see for myself a lil bit also, gotta take overclocking into consideration .

Thank you VERY MUCH once again! ♥ ^^

any of these games did you want to know the frames for? as i have these ones installed

 

1st off, that's a mighty nice game library. 2nd. Can you just summarize how well does your 2080S perform in some games you play daily and I'll shave off like 15% of the average fps (that's about the performance difference between 2080S and 2070S). I don't want to command you what games you should test for me :v. Only thing of importance for me is that you get more than 144 fps in most games, cause that means getting a 240Hz monitor is worth the money.

depending on the graphics settings the 2070 super may run some of them games at 240fps (but i dont believe it will be modern warefare or battlefield v as im using a 2080 super and an i9 and sit around 180 fps in mordhau, ill have a look at modern warfare after i take a shower {just finished work})

Thanks for the answer! Wondering tho, are you running everything on highest settings and are RTX & DLSS turned on? Cause I honestly don't mind turning down some of the settings for a competitive advantage... (in competitive games like APEX Legends of course)

So currently I have the following config: 

• Intel core i7-8700
• 16 GB DDR4 2400MHz (15-15-15-35)
• A 650 W PSU (I don't remember the name)
• Kingston A400 240 GB SSD
• A 2TB HDD (7.2 rpm)
• GIGABYTE Z370 HD3P

I'm going to get a new monitor around new years, possibly a BENQ Zowie XL2411P(144Hz) or Acer XF250QC(240Hz). Now, I need help picking a GPU that will be the best choice, y'all think that a GIGABYTE RTX 2070 SUPER can run titles like APEX Legends, COD:MW, Battlefield V and similar at around 240 FPS or rather at around 144Hz? (at 1080p ofc)

Also, should I get faster RAM(3200MHz) or a better CPU (i9-9900k or i7-9700k) since my MOBO does support overclocking? (to get to 240 fps)

OR Should I take into consideration that DDR5 is coming next year and just wait on buying anything?

Here are some GPU prices from where I am from:

• GIGABYTE RTX 2070 super: ~490€
• MSI RTX 2080 GAMING X Trio: ~640€ 
• GIGABYTE RTX 2080 SUPER GAMING: ~720€

Here are some Monitor prices where I am from:

• BENQ Zowie XL2411P (144Hz): ~230€
• Acer XF250QC (240Hz): ~360€

TL;DR:Will the RTX 2070 super run games at 240 fps? (deciding on the monitor)
            Whats the best monitor and GPU combo to buy? (if the 2070 super doesnt run at around 240 fps)

            Will DDR5 be too expensive for a casual user after its release? (starting to build a completely new PC)

Thank you for your time. ^^

Tell me three relavent changes in the new list...?

Its almost a replica. Both equally useless for OP.

 

Theres a reason some GPUs require 8-pin as opposed to 6-pin. To allow for higher current. So no, don’t use a 6 to 8 pin adapter.

Where are you buying from?

 

I won't be using a adapter, I'm getting a Cooler Master RS-600 or Corsair CX600 or Cooler master Thunder 600W. ^^

Thats a teir 4 or rank D rated PSU, id go for something higher placed if you can but if thats as good as you can do then its probably fine

I'm really low on my budget, the whole setup I listed above including the GPU should be about 700€ and I'm still 200€ short   

3 minutes ago, Bananasplit_00 said:

there is a difference between CPU 8 pins, called EPS 8 pin and GPU 8 pins, called PCIe 8 pin. If you mess them up you will blow the board or GPU. Any good 500W and up PSU will have both an 8 pin CPU and an 8 pin for the GPU but they might comes as a 4+4 for the CPU and 6+2 for the GPU.

I have settled on a Cooler Master RS-600 it has a 4+4 for my mobo and 2x6+2 for my 8-pin GTX 1070 which shouldn't create any problems?

Thank you all so much for helping me! I am Brand new to understanding PSU's and this was a interesting experienece

If the 500W PSU dosnt have an 8 pin or a 6+2 its likely pretty shit. I would never underspend on a PSU seeing as if it blows it can take your entire computer with it and even catch fire, burning down your house.(unlikely but i wouldnt be one to risk it myself.)

 

Get something from here thats teir 5 and up and it should be fine even after you get the 1070:

 

 

Whats with buying all this older hardware though?

 

Thanks for this list. I'm looking at a few Cooler master 600 W PSU's and I'm getting kinda confused... Since my MOBO (Gigabyte H310M-S2H) needs a 1x24-pin and a 1x8-pin connector and  1x8-pin for my GPU, does that mean I need a PSU that has a 24-pin, 2x8-pin (or 6+2-pin) and an additional one or 2 SATA for my HDD (I'll have one HDD and a M.2 SSD)? 

For example: Cooler master Thunder 600W (http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/thunder/thunder-600w/)

and/or: Cooler master RS-600-ACAB-m4 (http://www.coolermaster.com/service/support/model/RS-600-ASAB/)

I also found some "LC power 600 W PSU's" idk if they are worth bugging with...

So I'm getting a new PC soon, the parts are as follows:

• Intel i7-8700
• 8GB DDR4 Single channel RAM
• Gigabyte H310M-S2H
• 1000 GB Seagate 7.2 RPM
• 500 W Power supply unit

And I understand that this PSU can supply the current build with ease.

In a few months I will be ordering a Graphics card so I can get into gaming, recording and streaming, my worry is that this PSU will not be able to supply the Gigabyte GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC 8GB since its only a 500 Watt PSU.

Also, The 2nd problem is: The 500 W PSU doesn't have a 8-pin connector which is needed for the GTX 1070. Will buying a 6-pin to 8-pin or similar bridge create instability issues or will it be ok?

I used a lot of online Power calculator thingies and all of them show ~350 Load Wattage and the recommended PSU wattage is ~400 W. When I click their recommended Power Supply I get sent to a 600 W PSU on Amazon, which is overkill? (I don't need any future proofing)

Thanks in advance! ^^

That's not up to the gpu, the gpu will get 60 fps on high or better in most games, and the recording part is up to the cpu.  2 xeon e5450s should be sufficient because most 4 core and more so 6 core computers today can record while gaming at high frames.  The 1070 is pretty inexpensive (around $350 usd), so if you want more fps on higher settings, then it might be worth the investment.

Thanks for the help dude, love you!

No homo tho...

150 euros for the cpu mobo ram? If so that's fine and if its just 1080p, the 1060 6gb is perfect.

So you're thinking it will run games on high while recording?

Why are you spending so much on an old system? If you are buying a new xeon ram and motherboard, why not just get a newer setup?

I'm not spending much at all, all of those parts will be just below 150€. Yes, all of them

So I'm about to upgrade my old Dell Precision T5400. 

It currently has:

• Xeon e5410 (quad-core @ 2.33GHz)
• 4GB of DDR2 ECC RAM
• Nvidia GeForce Gt 610
• 800 GB HDD

• Xeon e5450 x2 (quad-core @ 3.00GHz x2) *the mother board has 2 sockets so its like an octa-core?*
• 16 GB of DDR2 ECC RAM
• Nvidia GeForce gtx 1060 or 1070( I need your help here, I'm wondering will it be too much of a bottleneck from the processors maybe getting a GTX 970 if i wont get too much of a performance impact)
• Kingston A400 240 GB

Thanks for the answers!

So I am coming down on this setup:
Xeon e5450 @3.00GHz  x2
Nvidia GTX 960 (maybe even a gtx 1060 6GB)
16 GB DDR2 ECC-RAM

Do you guys think I'll be able to play AAA games on medium?

So I have an old Dell precision T5400, it has a Xeon e5410 in it. I am simply wondering if I can just get another Xeon e5410 off the market and smack it in there?
My worry is that they have to "match" with something (like bought in a pair).

Also as you're reading this, do you think that a:
Intel Xeon e5410 @2.33 GHz
8 GB DDR2 RAM 
Nvidia GTX 660 (maybe a 1050 Ti)

can run games at least on medium setting at 1050p and do well in video rendering or photoshop?

Thanks a lot! ♥ ^^
