how is overclocking dumb? seriously though you still haven't answered me on that.

and how is buying new dumb? you don't know what that card was used for, could've been used for mining etc.

while i have bought used a lot it makes sense for most people to buy new.

As said, i'm really not in the mood to make a debate with overcloking, especially since i'm already having 2 debates one with you and one with the hammer guy, if you make a thread or DM me i'll happily debate that matter.

 

Just because i buy used doesn't mean i don't know what i was used for.

Another reason why no overclocking is good, because reselling is better and buying is safer.

It might make sense for rich people to buy new. Here most people have laptops (if at all) from before 2010.

Most people's most powerful device is usually their phone.

the 5600xt is cheaper in almost every country besides yours, how do you not get that? 

And?

That doesn't change anything for me since it's my country that's important for me.

(as i mentioned in the very first post that price/performance was the best HERE aka Hungary)

Also, i was saying the 5600xt is not as good in price/performance, not that it's cheaper than the 2070

i actually said the opposite

Quote

Now both of these cards are about 115000-135000 (latter is 2070),

I have no idea what site that is, but you should be looking at actual benchmarks.

No, passmark is very good for this, since it shows more than just gaming

1-2% is not a lot faster, it's minimal at best.

Matters to some.

And for lower end cards, it can even be critical.

the difference between 20 and 25 fps is minimal at best, but i'd get the 25 as much as i can.

Or the difference between 144 & 148 FPS?

R7 2700X and a GTX 1060 6gb. The video card is a little light so some time in the future I want to move up to an RTX 3070, but that will have to wait until I can find the basic "Founders" card or whatever since it's the least expensive.

My Current Setup:

AMD Ryzen 5900X

Kingston HyperX Fury 3200mhz 2x16GB

MSI B450 Gaming Plus

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB

WD 5400RPM 2TB

EVGA G3 750W

Corsair Carbide 300R

Arctic Fans 140mm x4 120mm x 1

When you say "light", don't forget that the 1060 uses 120Watts

But the 3070 uses 220W

I hadn't realized it was that burly. I have a 750 watt PSU so I should be good, but I'll have to dig some extra modular cables out of my PSU box when I upgrade.

Same here, every generation they seem to go up by 20-25 Watts

I mean look at 15 years ago, most cards barely used 40 Watts

Back in 2010 GTX 480 was sucking some almost 400 watts overclocked, you seem new.

I currently have a 2600X at about 4GHz paired with a GTX 1070 overclocked to about 2GHz.

Ok, I see now. What you can afford and works for you is OK. But what others have that they can afford and functions perfectly for their needs is just slow ass under performing junk because it doesn't fit your criteria. 

A 980 currently sells for around £120, for 2 that’s £240 for SLI which isn’t worth it with 4GB of VRAM at a combined 330W power draw. You can buy a GTX 1080 for around £250-275 which has 8GB of VRAM, performs better in games that don’t get great scaling with SLI (which is most of them) and runs at 180W which is nearly half the power.

anyway, i'm thinking of making another thread about the value of some of these products.

How many of you are thinking of switching to Apple with their ARM processors?

I'm probably that one dude with an IvyBridge CPU and a RX 6800XT :D

 

Well okay to be fair the Xeon 1680V2 is the best IvyBridge CPU out there, so that helps, but still.

Meanwhile in 2024: Ivy Bridge-E has finally retired from gaming (but is still not dead).

Desktop: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X; 64GB DDR5-6000; Radeon RX 6800XT Reference / Server: Intel Xeon 1680V2; 64GB DDR3-1600 ECC / Laptop:  Dell Precision 5540; Intel Core i7-9850H; NVIDIA Quadro T1000 4GB; 32GB DDR4

There's not much to discuss other than mentioning what kind of setup you have lol

 

The ones that wished to tell that already did, no point in adding anything else 🤷‍♂️
