I'd go with the 3080, probably from MSI for all the reasons you mentioned. To be honest, with ray tracing being included in more and more games, and it becoming a thing, it is better to have it on board. If you don't care about ray tracing, then it's another story. DLSS on the other hand is a fantastic technology, that allows for respectable frame rates. Thing is, with games like Cyberpunk and other heavy hitting games coming out, DLSS is needed as rasterized performance of those cards isn't great enough to handle such games at higher resolutions, and upscaling is kinda needed, more so if you turn on rtx.

 

I don't know at which resolutions you game at, but according to your needs, you could scale down to a 3070 if you wanna save a few bucks, esp at this time. That also is a fantastic card, and yes MSI is a good brand, but always see reviews of the specific card you're after if you haven't already.

Yeah, I forgot to add my target, it's 1440p and 144hz.

So I'm trying to find a good jump in performance, and since my card was a 5700XT, I wouldn't have that jump with a 3070. So my aim is, at least, starting with the RX 6800 models.

Hey guys, you all doing good?

I'm from Brazil and currently in the market for a new card, but things are real ugly here. My PC is dead until I buy a new one.

My target is 1440p 144hz and occasionally I use the TV and play on 4k.

I literally have 3 options:

RX 6800 reference

RTX 3080 Zotac Trinity

RTX 3080 MSI GAMING TRIO

The RX 6800 is from Gigabyte and they offer 3 year warranty, although I have never used it. It costs R$ 5200,00. The math around here is simple: Take the official MSRP in dollars and multiply in 10x or add a zero to the right, sorta of.

The Zotac one is 20% more expensive than the RX 6800, but here in Brazil they have a really bad reputation in which they offer 2 year warranty that doesn't work. I have seen reports of people taking 10 months to get their money back from Zotac's RMA. 

The MSI one is 40% more expensive than the RX 6800, but MSI is really good around here and the card itself is much better than the Zotac's. 

The question: Would a significant better performance, better ray tracing, DLSS, better card and brand overall(MSI, at least here) be worth 40% more?  

Thanks to you all.

Funny enough, i tried the setting u using rn but got higher latency. 65.7 vs 65.2

 

 

does ur test take 40 minutes? Thats the one i would do to make sure its stable

Around 30 minutes.

Here I'm getting 65.9-66ns, think its enough to reach 155fps in multiplayer games like BF1, BFV, COD MW.

yeah seems good, now try memtest to see if its truely stable/ error free

Configured two instances of memtest with 2gb, one of them just past 100% with 0 errors and the other is at 60% also with 0 errors, is it enough?

its better if you download typhoon and export ur ram xmp, then import it into dram calculator to calculate the value yourself. Your kit might be better than mine since my pcb is on rev A0..

Just tried 3733 with these, it seems to be working fine:

I have another kit with 3600mhz cl17, successfully overclock fckl and ram to 1867 and 3733 CL16 respectively. Now latency is 65.2+-1.

I will try these values.

it would be at it's limit  in terms of voltage 

if you can't do these timings at 1.4 keep it at 1.45 

Yeah, at 1.4v the MOBO won't post.

Just got a 66.6ns latency now with tRC 40 and tRFC 288. What would be better in general, 3600 14-14-14-28 or 3733 16-16-16-36?

46 minutes ago, TofuHaroto said:

i recommend dropping that to 1.4 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't common knowledge that 1.45v is safe for b-die? Even 1.5v?

Theoretical max bandwidth for 3600MHz memory is 57600MB/s so your results seem a bit low, maybe the secondary timings are really loose? 

 

Latency looks much more normal tho

Thanks for the heads up, I had changed the primary timings and the motherboard did the rest. I just put tRC at 40 and tRFC at 288 and managed to get 53655MB/s. 

Hey fellas,

today I got my pair of Spectrix D80 3600 CL17 and I managed to put them at 14-14-14-28 3600 1.45v, but the aida scores doesn't seem right:

Shouldn't the latency be lower than that? Power Down is disabled.

I would just keep the 370x. The ram speed can be couple of issues, maybe you dont give enough voltage, maybe too tight of timings? Also 2933 is pretty good already, what speed are you trying to achieve?

 

We are pretty much at the end of the Ryzen AM4 upgrade cycle, i wouldnt buy a new motherboard, especially for these prices. Keep the money for the AM5 socket next year. 

Hi,

The reason I'm upgrading is mainly because of my monitor's refresh rate, and because of that, I'm targetting 155fps and the 2700 is letting me a little disappointed.

I managed to get the ram to post at 3066mhz but I had to put 1.4V and loose the timings to 18-20-20-40. So no performance gains whatsoever. I have increased the SoC voltage as well, but no real difference. Maybe my 2700 is not a good chip. 

Thank you for your attention.

third gen Ryzen is better with ram speed

Yea, I'm hoping so. 

Thank you guys for the answers.

Hey fellas,

Everyone's good?

I'm from Brazil and I recently purchased a 3800x to replace my current R7 2700. The CPU has not arrived yet. Thing is: I have a BIOSTAR X370 GT7.  

The 3800x should probably work fine with this board, but I'm concerned with ram speed issues, right now I can't post past 2966mhz and they are Micron D die. I think that is because of the 2700 and, with the 3800x, things will probably be better, or I'm wrong?

So, considering the worst case scenario where this is not going to work as expected, I started considering a MOBO upgrade, but there is a catch: The prices today are going full crazy here, and a so so so MOBO is costing 3x the price I paid for the one that I have here. 

Will a entry-level x570 be better than a x370 that has superior components, but inferior software?

Thanks in advance and sorry for any mispelling.
