I have a RTX 2060 and I was wondering if mounting it vertically vs horizontal is better for performance. I know that the traditional way is horizontal but if vertical is better and gives better performance then that's an easy and cost effective fix

My current system (built April 2022): OS: Win 10 MoBo: MSI PRO B660M WiFi DDR4 CPU: Intel i5-12500 Ram: Kingston KF3600C17D4 8GB x2 Graphics Card: Galax RTX 2060 6GB Monitor: Dell U3415W (60 Hz, 3440x1440) Since my graphics card is hitting 4 years mark May this year, I'm thinking it's a good time to look at the graphics card so I can grab them in next 1~2 months. This is my graphics card usage profile: - I mostly play indie/ mobile games with PC client, so most of the time, I don't really need high GPU performance. - However, sometimes I picked some AAA games —but not right on their release day/month/year—, but I'll pick them up 1~2 years after, with 40%~50% discount on Steam. - Not sure if I will do video editing/streaming in the future. But if I ever do, I probably want a sufficiently powerful card to handle those. I don't want to upgrade a graphics card because I find them lacking in power. Looking back over a decade ago, it seems my sweetspots has been ~300 USD graphics cards, but the performance of their kind have been increasing in price ever over the years: Dec 2011 - GTX 560Ti - ~302 USD Aug 2015 - GTX 970 - ~327 USD May 2020 - RTX 2060 - ~342 USD So this time, I am planning to allocate about 350~375 USD on budget to get something similar to my old graphics card class. However, looking at the shelves on my local computer part shop, I can only found just some okay~ish card on this price range: Here are my options that I've filtered around that range: XFX RX 6700XT 12GB Swift 309 - ~300 USD XFX RX 7600XT 16GB Swift 210 - ~352 USD ASRock RX 7600XT 16GB - ~372 USD Galax RTX 4060 8GB - ~345 USD Galax RTX 3060Ti 8GB - ~354 USD ------------------------------------------------ But if I'm willing to go 50 USD overbudget, I can find these options: Galax RTX 4060Ti 8GB - ~416 USD XFX RX 6800 16GB Swift 319 - ~425 USD PowerColor RX 7700XT 12GB - ~462 USD Now, my worries on some of these options: - NVidia graphics cards: - Is 8 GB enough when today's AAA games dropping in price in next 1~2 years and I wish to play it on my 3440x1440 screen? I've been hearing the 'ooohs' and 'aahhs' how the nvidia been so stingy with the VRAM given to their cards, but haven't really deeply looked at the arguments why it's good/not good. (don't have much time to look at those videos) - Radeon graphics cards: - I haven't been using Radeon graphics card since... 2004, I think? I'm worried that that I'm blind with the potential problems getting Radeon cards nowadays, despite their superior FPS/price rating. Just simply from FPS per price, it seems RX6800 is the winner here. But again, I haven't weighted other factors like "issues with Radeon graphics cards" like back in those days. or how this card is already at 2 years old as of now, but still pulling ahead to 4060Ti at similar price point. - Is it worth it to pay extra 40 USD for RX7700 XT? What's the deal with RDNA2 vs RDNA3? - I'm less aware about brand difference for Radeon cards, Is XFX the lower-end choice? Should I pick different brand like PowerColor or ASRock?

If I bought an accelerator card, could I attach it to my main card (GTX 970) through SLI to use them as 1 GPU with more VRAM?

Built my computer years ago and looking to upgrade some parts. I decided to start with my gpu, currently I have a gtx 1070 card and thinking of upgrading to a 4070 or 4070ti. I want to be able to play most if not all games 4k max settings with atleast a consist 60fps. Is that unrealistic? I'm also happy if every now and then for super graphicly intense games to go down to high or medium 4k or 1440p max settings 60fps+ Is that a realistic exception, am I thinking to high? Is the gpu any good at all and a good upgrade? Would love to hear your guys advice and thoughts! MY CURRENT BUILD: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/72PbdH EDIT: Will the cpu bottleneck be a big deal?

Hello LMG, I was trying to insert my Zotac 1650 OC into my PC using a riser cable and I found that one of the "arms" had fallen off. I lift it up to see what had happens and the entire thing was disconnected from the female PCI insert. Before you assume anything, no, I did not pull a @RoxBox and yank it out, and it looked like they weren't even properly connected in the first place. Is it salvageable, and if not, what are other *CHEAP* alternatives? Thanks in advance!

Hi, so basically my good old GTX 1080 just kicked the bucket and I now need to buy a replacement. Where I live the two best GPUs that are both readily available and in my price range are the RTX 3070 and the 4060 Ti. After a brief search online I have seen that they seem to have very similar raw performance at 1080p but I was wondering if there are any features available on the RTX 4060 Ti that are not available on the 3070 or if there are any differences in their ray tracing performance as I see the 4060 Ti has newer ray tracing cores.

Hello, I want to upgrade my GPU. I'm currently using GT730 4gb DDR3 which uses PCIe 2.0 x8 and I want to upgrade it with Gigabite GTX 1650 4gb DDR6 PCIe 3.0x16. I don't know it will work or not coz the PCIe are different. So, will it work? My motherboard is H61

Hello nerds, I'd say "fellow nerds", but I'm not sure I'm quite there yet in terms of being a full nerd. I'm looking for a decent upgrade for a Geforce GT 730 that will not require extra external power (6/8 pin power).Sadly, the user I'm working with hasn't provided their PC model, so not sure what their power supply is. I know it's a Dell machine and comes spec'd with a i7-9700f and running 16GB RAM. I'm going to assume it's on an SSD (I really hope it's on an SSD) Anyways, I this PC is used for rendering videos and naturally, the GT 730 is slower than me at the olympics. My research suggests a GTX 1050 ti or a GTX 1650 OC would be good (most seem to think a 1650 would be good) Any other recommendations? I just want to confirm my sanity. Of course, I need to check the case size. If it's a small case, have you guys got any suggestions on an SFF graphics card? ( Dims of the geforce gt 730 Height: 5" / 126 mm Length: 7.3" / 185 mm Width: Single-Slot) I know the 1650 isn't full size, but not sure if it will clear the height...guess I'll see once the user sends me their service tag and I can post exactly what Dell machine this is. It's unlikely to have been changed from what it was at stock, so if you can figure out what it could be based on this config - then hats off to you. What a ledge. My googling suggests it could be an optiplex 7070 SFF Thanks humans! S_P

case Am I going to need a bigger case to fit 2 GPUs?
Blaspheme posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
Budget (including currency): $0-$500 (USD) Country: Australia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: KVM, Compiling, Programming, Video Editing, Gaming, VR, 3D Modeling, etc. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): These are the current parts that I have: MSI MPG X670E Carbon Gaming WiFi - MOBO AMD Ryzen 9 7900X - CPU G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) - RAM Corsair iCUE H150i Elite CAPELLIX XT - CPU LIQUID COOLER Corsair iCUE 5000D RGB Airflow Black - CASE These are the parts that I'm wanting to put inside: ASRock AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX TAICHI - GPU #1 PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT - GPU #2 I have more parts on the way, but they're not really relevant for my question. I received my motherboard today, thinking that it was going to be perfectly okay. My biggest concern is the size of my case. I plan on putting the 2 previously mentioned GPUs in this systems. My only concern is that the cards won't fit. I am not set on the PowerColor Red Devil as my 2nd GPU, and will be willing to change it for another decent 6950 XT. All I'm wanting to know is if these cards will fit in my systems case or not. If not, what case would be recommended? If I have to vertical mount my GPUs due to lack of space on my motherboard, which case would be big enough to support a possible triple slot card in it's vertical mount? I understand that these cards will both only run at x8 speeds. The cards will occupy both the silver looking PCIe 5.0 slots on my MOBO. I have included a fair amount of Corsair parts in this setup. Especially for their iCUE system. It's not a big deal if I have to send some parts back to where I purchased them from. I just want a neat looking case with some RGB vomit mixed in. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have attached some (admittedly not so great) pictures below of how much space I have available. Being new to PC building, I have no idea how the cards will line up with the motherboard and case, so any help to understand my problem would be great. Thanks! -
Will a Corsair RM650x power supply be sufficient to run an NVIDIA GeForce 4070Ti graphics card? Or should I upgrade to the rm850x? PC Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-12700 RAM: 16GB(8gb dual channel/ rgb) Storage: 1.5TB M.2 SSD Fans: 7 total (including 3 RGB fans) Not sure if adding my fans in there was necessary.

I want to upgrade my Gpu in my computer and my budget is $200, What do you think I should get considering these are my specs?

these are are my current PC Specs Gigabyte AUG X470 Ryzen 7 2700x Radeon Powercolor Red devil Rx 580 8 GB 16 GB 3000 mHz and a Antec Edge 750 watt PSU built this in 2019 for upgrading GPU, never could afford to or seemed reasonable but i think its time. i like the fact the 4060ti consumes very less power and remains cooler than 3rd Gen RTX card while giving lot better 0.1% and 1% Frame drops even with DLSS off. but at same time am skeptical of the x8 lane PCIE instead of x16 and 128 instead of 256 bit memory interface, which is lower than my Rx580 but clearly performance wise its a huge upgrade for 40-50% less power usage.

I recently got a 3070ti FE and the dang thing just runs really hot and really loud. It would quickly hit 110C when under load and the fans sound like they were doing their best helicopter impression. I repasted the card with some Kryonaut Extreme and re-padded with Minus Pad 8s, and now the temps are maxing out around 85C-95C, while idle temps are in the mid to high 40s. I know this is technically within spec for the founders edition cards, but I know it can be cooler. I've been looking around for either AIO or after-market air-cooling solutions, but I cannot find anything for the 3070 ti. As far as I can tell, after-market air coolers pretty much don't exist for the 30 series cards and beyond. I know EK, Alphacool, and others make water blocks for my specific card, however I am not wanting to do a custom water loop for my setup. I have found that Alphacool makes an AIO for higher end cards like the 3080 (ti) and 3090 (ti), the Eiswolf 2 AIO. AIO Wasserkühlung für Geforce RTX 3080 FE GPU | All-in-One GPU Does anyone have experience with these kind of GPU AIOs? I was initially thinking about trying to jerryrig and combine the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl waterblock and backplate with the Alphacool Eiswolf 2, however I don't know what their compatibility would be like. GPU Water Cooler for Geforce RTX 3070 TI FE | Eisblock GPX Do you guys have any suggestions on how I should move forward? Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

The GTX Titan has 6GB of GDDR5 memory, and 2688 CUDA cores with a 1502MHz memory clock speed. I'm trying to upgrade from an MSI RX 560 (4GB) to a new card. Recently I found one for $350. Is it worth the money?

The 1030's 2gb of vram isn't really cutting it, I don't really need the 1030 if i buy the 3060 (depending availability), I just don't want it to sit and do nothing, if I can I'm gonna use the 3060 for nvenc and gaming, and the 1030 for YouTube watching and coding. When I upgrade to a dual monitor setup than both cards will be used for graphics (gaming and stream manager) on dual monitor (if it works).

My display looks like this when I power on the new system. I used my old GPU from a previous setup on my new build but it had to sit in my locker for about 2 months. It was wrapped up in an anti static bag and wasn't moved around much. Card: Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 4G Is it possible to fix this? Update: after letting it run like that for about 5 minutes, it seems to be working alright.

In my pc I have an AMD Rx 5600xt but I was wondering if I could just add another graphics card into my system. Does it have to be another 5600xt? Does it have to be AMD or could I even just put a nvidia gpu in there?

I recently lost my 1080 ti 11gb GPU, it was so amazing and the peak of Pascal, sadly a forgot a couple of screws and the sag killed it. This means i had to return to my old 980, but this struggles with 1080p 60 let alone the 4k 60 I once had. So I was wondering what can I actually get nowadays? scalpers and miners have taken the best cards and now i cant even get a replacement 1080ti, but were there any of the low end newer gen cards that can achieve the 4k 60 i long for again? If that's not possible then what is the best card that is available that you can go out and buy today? If you can post links so that if others are wondering this as well then they can get there hands on what ever is found.

Hello. I'm a total noob when it comes to pc. But after sometime thinking and planing, finally decided to build myself a PC. Parts are coming in a week, but except the Gpu. Was planing a single pc streaming setup but then 1660's are out of stock everywhere(I don't live in USA btw), and getting 3000series atm is no no, So decided to go with a decent budget option for the time bein. Here is my parts: Cpu: ryzen 5 3600 Mobo: Msi mortar max b450m Ram: Crucial Ballistix 16g in dual 3200mhz Storage: some kingston nvme and 2tb 7200rpm hdd Psu: haven't decided yet but gonna get 600w one And some cheap as case. I can live with that And 1080p 144hz display to go with it, thinking about upgrading to 1440p in some time tho not soon. So, here is how this is looking right now, Gtx 970 4gb ... 144 usd R9 390 4gb ... 134 usd R9 290 4gb ... 115 usd Seller is telling me they are all new, but we all know that's total bs. But I'm ok with that, as long as they runs. So, Happy to hear your opinions guys
