TH!S

Okay so I should be safe getting it in June or August then so that sounds like a plan

Also it would be useful to know what you’re planning to do with it, video/content editing, just gaming, VR gaming, high intensity 3D rendering, etc.

I might do that tbh. The 5600 looks like it’s a really good option. I’m probably going to wait a while and see what GPUs come out in the next few months (just in case someone essential comes out soon). Still, I think it’s at the forefront of the pack as far as what my choices are

That’s a bit more risky than I’m willing to go LOL I’m still hesitant to plug my 4 pin RGB passthrough into my 4 pin mobo header just because I’m unsure of voltages; I’m not the kind of person who’d be inclined to flash a next level BIOS onto a lower level GPU. I’d probably have a heart attack

I stand corrected! You are correct! to be completely fair both cards have their advantages. Price point is kind of a big thing for me tbh. I’d prefer to save money where I can because it leaves room for buying games and stuff. I expect a decent GPU to be expensive, that comes with the territory kinda. I’ve got at least two options now and I thank you both for that

I have a feeling I’m slowly going to amass a collection of video cards

Tbch it looks like the 2060 Super has the ports I’d need for every day use (HDMI, I don’t have DP on my monitor) it’s a little pricey but I can possibly find one for cheaper used or refurbished so that’s not a bad option. Right now I’m not to the “buying stage” because I like to plan out everything well in advance on things like this and have a few options just in case one isn’t available. The RX 5700 looks cherry but the ones I’ve seen so far only have DP output

Hey y’all, So I literally just finished building this computer on the 23rd of April (Thursday) and I am planning on upgrading my graphics processor in a while. I really want to be better able to make music videos and construct 3D visual effects as well as diving into the awesome world of VR gaming. I don’t have thousands to spend on a new GPU but I would like to upgrade my graphics to something a little beefier than the GTX 1050 Ti that I’m currently using. I’m looking for a GPU in the $150-300 range, preferably something that can do VR fairly well or at least decently, planning on using an Oculus Rift S. I’m kinda shopping gently new or refurbished, since my budget is a bit low, but I could probably scrounge maybe $300-400 extra for a GPU that’s really decent. What would y’all suggest? My chassis can support a GPU up to 350mm in length. My PSU is a 650w and I’m currently using about 375w maximum on it and I have 2 spare PCIe power cables to work with.

Hello all, so I’m posting this here because I’ve visited other forums ad nauseum and haven’t been able to find anyone yet who can help me lol i just recently completed a build with a liquid cooler, specifically the Master Cooler MasterLiquid 240R. It comes with a controller with one 3 pin ARGB and one four pin RGB passthrough to motherboard. My motherboard supports up to two 12v 5050 RGB headers. My question is, if I want to control the masterliquid cooler + 4 cooler master masterfans (1 3 fan kit, one bought individually) with ARGB compatibility and be able to hook up everything for control with Aura Sync, can I hook up my two 1 to 3 ARGB splitters to two ports on my controller (and then one port for the extra fan, or alternatively a five to one splitter) and then pass that through to the 5050 RGB header on my motherboard (an Asus ROG Strix B450-F)? In Aura Sync it is showing up as an ARGB header. I’m just concerned about voltages and burning out my headers, ARGB LEDs, or my fans. Knowing the voltage compatibility of that 4 pin RGB passthrough really is everything at this point. Assumptions in computing can lead to destroyed components and I’d prefer to avoid that if I can. I have already downloaded the Master+ and Aura Sync software
