Thank you very much, this was really helpful. I guess I'll look for flat 16:9 27" 1440p 144+Hz then, 4k will not work due to GPU limitation for now 😉 

I'll look at MSI one if I can get it locally. It makes no sense for me to spend less so I'd skip LG option for now. Thank you very much for the input.

After all troubleshooting I was confident that the panel died and this was confirmed by the AOC repair shop. Not much to do other than replacement part.

Yeah, save the 50$. But instead of Tomahawk, go for the B550-A Pro if you could, that should cut you up an extra 70 on your build.

I have a group of friends which shares "backup hardware". When my main rig died (laptop) I was actually running buddies GTX 780 for about half a year. Then that one died, so I used an old Radeon HD 7850 for about half a year as I couldn't buy anything in current situation. It was a meme of a bottleneck build (5600x + HD 7850) but I did game in 1080p just fine and it was much better than having a paperweight. Backup card ftw.

Yes, thermal paste can be used across different applications. It's not only just for CPUs, as well as graphics cards and chipsets to name a few. 

RX 5xx seems to have a lot of driver issues, try the following:
- don't use Radeon wattmaster and MSI afterburner at same time, they seems to hate eachother
- reset Radeon software settings to default
- disable quick boot option in Windows

I don't know if this has been posted before but considering current hardware market Scrapyard wars would be pretty amazing as right now many people need "how to make a usable budget rig" more than ever 😉

I don't think this mouse has RGB. Anyhow, go to reddragon webpage and download their software? 

Seems very few people consider the fact that EU has much much higher VAT than US has sales tax, so even with "same starting price", anything in EU is 10-20% more expensive. That's just a start. The second thing is, we have different import taxes as well (GPUs even had 0 import tax policy in US for some time!) and lastly, EU market is not run by consumerism so hard, so stores are more inclined to having market prices vs US, where they just want to move more stock. That's why in US they even keep msrp at some stores, then scalpers resell these with market driven prices, whereas in EU we just have market driven prices in the first place.

Check used market for 2070 super and 5700 XT and be ready to pay about 3 times the price of a new one.

Ok, so Nvidia supposedly made a new line of mining cards to try and get more RTX to gamers, however the specifications they posted are a joke? It seems all HX cards are worse than any RTX 30 series or am I missing something? It really doesn't seem to solve the problem except maybe really low price... 

 
 

Incoming Chinese drivers to circumvent in t-minus 3...2...

Hi guys, 
I’m posting cause I was looking at the video about that project larabee prototype GPU Linus got a couple of years ago. 
 
There’s a guy in the comments of that video that claims to be a developer in Crytek and that he has the drivers!! 
 
after more than a year since his first response he’s still answering to ppl there on the video maybe you guys should contact him! 
 
I’d love to see that card working! 
 
hope I was helpful

better question would be when they'll be readily available..

You've picked a Ryzen processor and an Intel motherboard.

May I suggest a 2nd hand GPU or even borrow one from a friend if anyone has something lying around since you plan to upgrade when possible. I did this, scored a temporary 780 for a six pack of beer and it it's actually more capable than I expected. Will swap for 3070 as soon as possible.

mods delete this

You don't need a 3070 for school, you just want a 3070. Stop being such a spoiled brat: everyone else has a budget as well and everyone else has to wait for the cards just as you. There is no magic way of getting one quick without spending a lot more money.

So I was waiting for 3060ti launch due to low stock/high prices of 3070 and 3080. 
 
Launch happens, I go get my 3060ti and the cheapest one is 750eur?!  What the hell is going on, this is more than expected price of 3080 and I'm not talking about scalpers but official stores ... is this going too far? AMD is not even sold here untill board partners launch their, so nvidia basically has a monopoly, what are we supposed to do anyway?

Wait 10 more minutes.
They come out 9 AM EST.
