  1. OP, did you end up just using mystic light for everything else (case fans i'm assuming), and icue just for the ram?
  2. I understand. I'm on a i7 3770, and I can't rly afford to upgrade the entire system. I think I'm okay with getting 75% of the potential performance of big navi if in the end my FPS doubles what I currently can put out with my RX 590.
  3. nvm, I found this handy article: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-pci-express-scaling/ Plus I also found out I have PCIE 3.0, should have no worries at all for the new stuff. Thx
  4. LOL what the heck? It turns out I have PCIE 3.0!! What the hell. I def don't have to worry about bottlenecking my GPU cuz of the slot.
  5. That'll be much appreciated. I'm just trying to see how far I can go before PCIE 2.0 cripples performance to the point where no more improvements can be made with upgrades.
  6. I def know there is a performance drop, but will I be able to double my current frame rates my RX 590 is giving me? Let's say the new card will b e 30% slower than what it could be, but if it still can double my frames, double is double. I'm just worried I'll spend like $500 for an FPS increase of 10-20% only.
  7. I know the following: 1. PCIE 3.0 cards are backwards compatible with PCIE 2.0 slots (not sure 1.1) 2. plugging into a lower PCIE slot will bottle neck GPU, but not by too much. (at least in the case of PCIE3 card into PCIE2). Questions are: 1. What will happen if I try to plug in a RX 6000 or RTX 3000 series card into a PCIE 2.0 slot? Will it work? And if so, how much will the PCIE 2.0 slot limit the speed by? 2. I currently have an RX 590 in the slot. Let's say for example RX 6700 is 3 times RX 590 when plugged into a PCIE 3.0 slot. And let's say my PCIE 2.0 slot is bottle necking my RX 590 a bit, maybe by 15%. When I then plug in my RX 6700 into the PCIE 2.0 slot, will the card also be bottle necked by the same proportion, having it's performance cut down by 15%, and still be 3x as fast as my bottle necked RX 590? Or will the dif between PCIE 4 and PCIE 2 be so great that my RX 6700 will effectively be only 1.5x my RX 590? Or maybe even the same as my RX 590, if that's possible? I'm sure there is math involving bus speed and teraflops and whatever to calculate this, but I'm nubcake.
  8. I believe for my mobo it tops out at 3770.and thx, I'll put it under load and see.
  9. Foxconn H61MX mobo. Official specs all say it has PCIE 2.0 Running RX 590, GPU Z says it's running at PCIE 1.1 instead of 2.0 How come? Also, did gpu userbenchmark test and it seems like the average for the RX 590 is 61% +/- 1%, but my guy is running at 55%. Is this indicative that indeed my card is running at PCIE 1.1 or does it also have to do with my older cpu, i7 3770?
  10. Hello, I'm trying to build a machine to effectively create videos. I won't be using special effects, it's just to use Sony Vegas and to build videos with photos and clips, with some light transition effects, and then render the video. Would a graphics card be of any use in this workflow? To my knowledge, in the order of importance for parts for this usage, it would be CPU > RAM > SSD speed that would affect editing smoothness and render time. Can I get away with using the on board graphics on a AMD Ryzen 5 3600?
  11. EDIT: Solved. I just did a bios update. Bios went from a crappy legacy style OEM bios to a full fledged updated American Megatrends UEFI style Bios. Then the installation of the vid card was a breeze.
  12. The thing is I can't remember if I've ever touched em before or not. I remember I wanted to flash the bios before a long time ago and I had a whole stint of researching and maybe I even moved the jumper before. So basically as of right now I don't know if ME is on or off.
  13. So i'm trying to decide which one is pin 1 for this jumper. The foxconn manual says top pin is 1, but then the picture shown in the manual, the motherboard is upside down. For the previous page of the manual with the cmos jumper, the picture is rightside up. Help? The mobo has no silkscreen to indicate which pin is 1. If I'm reading the words PCH_ME_ENABLE silkscreened on the mobo, and the pins are below the words left to right, would the left one be pin 1?
  14. So in my bios, the best I can do for that is set my first boot device to UEFI, and 2nd to my SSD. Still doesn't work. Lastly, if I wipe windows and reinstall a new version, would it help at all? Also, according to http://www.pc-specs.com/gpu/ATI/R-500_Series/Radeon_RX_570_8GB/3878/Compatible_Motherboards My Mobo should have support for this video card... it's bios is revision 4.0
  15. Used a gtx 670 before, and it was fine. Uninstalled all Nvidia drivers, plugged in rx 570 (msi armour 8gb oc edition), no post beep, black screen. Plug monitor in integrated graphics connector, went in and enabled safe mode plus disable Intel HD 4000 graphics. Shut down comp. Plug in rx 570. Black screen no post. Set the graphic adapter in bios to PEG. No luck. Reset cmos, by jumper and by battery removal. No luck. If you can help that would be wonderful. Yes I remembered to plug in 8 pin power connector. Tried both sets (Psu = corsair cx500). Fan runs on video card, but computer won't detect it plugged in. Help? Eternal appreciation. Win 10 x64 build 1803
