What’s better a gtx 1070 or a gtx 1080?

 

I hope this is bait post. But to answer you, 1080.

RTX 690, obviously!

 

In all seriousness, 1080

What cpu is the best for a 3060?

...in what budget? What purpose? New or used? Where do you live, country wise? What PSU and how many watts can it pull out?

 

If youre just looking for a general gaming recommendations, 10400F is already plenty CPU power for a 3060 right now.

[austintechtips]

I would say an amd ryzen 7 5600x or a amd ryzen 5

[jaslion]

Threadripper 3990x.

 

But in all seriousness what budget?

Depends on what you will use it for.

 

The absolute best is the 5900x or 5950x but those are also totally unnecessary for most PCs. 

 

For a pure gaming PC the Ryzen 5 5600x probably the best all-round CPU. 

 

A really good budget CPU is the i5 11400. 

The 11400 out performs last gen Ryzen 3600.

Is it better to have 2 gtx 1080 or only one rtx 2060

Even a single GTX 1080 should be on par or faster than an RTX 2060. So simply based on this a dual GTX 1080 setup would be better. That being said SLI is a thing anymore, as no one really takes the time to optimize their games to leverage it. If you already have a GTX 1080 just stick it for now and get something else when prices go down and more stock becomes available. 

[Mick Naughty]

Two. Always better than one. 

[SteveGrabowski0]

I'd take one RTX 2060 just for DLSS 2.0 since 2060 and GTX 1080 are about the same rasterized performance and since SLI is nearly dead.

I am trying to build the best pc for cad what cpu and gpu should I get both for under 500 I am planning on using Onshape solidworks and probably inventor to. What should I get?

[SpookyCitrus]

Look at the recommended specs for the versions of cad you want to use. See if they fall within your budget. Start with them, and base a computer build around those specs.

[Brooksie359]

I am curious on what you mean by under 500. You are just getting a cpu and gpu for a combined total under 500? Are you not factoring in the motherboard ram and many other components in the computer?

I didn't even think of that, does the whole computer need to be under $500? Or just the CPU and GPU? Good catch.

Yeah I was just thinking because basically all the other parts sorta depend on what cpu and gpu you get. I mean if you get a beefy cpu and gpu you need a beefy psu. Also motherboard costs vary quite a bit depending on what cpu you go for. That isn't even mentioning the fact that they haven't said anything about already having other parts. It would be one thing if they already had a pc and were just need a gpu but as soon as they said they need a cpu and said nothing about having an existing motherboard it had to be compatible with i knew they likely didn't understand all that went into making a pc build or they simply forgot to specify.

Yeah just 500 for just the cpu and gpu

Ok what about the rest of the system? I mean the cpu and gpu sorta determine the cost of the rest of the build so unless you plan on having a nonfunctional pc with only a cpu and gpu I don't see how we can be of any help.

Ok, you'll probably do best with a mid level Intel (probs around i5) paired with a really old Quadro (I think Quadro 480s are cheap).

Yeah, & if you have parts already, the gpu is universal but your cpu socket will narrow the list real fast (especially at your budget).

Is a quadro k4000 good for cad?

Is it better to have 16gb of ram with a ddr4 4400 and 19 latency or 32gb of ram with ddr4 3600 and 18 latency. I have a ryzen 5 3600. 
what would be better?

That would depend on weather you need more than 16GB.

[Eigenvektor]

DDR4 4400 is overkill, I'd go with 3600 MHz. You'd also have to overclock Infinity Fabric if you want it running at 1:1 with memory clock, because it'll switch to 1:2 otherwise and I'm not sure Zen 2 can run at 2200 MHz (I think even Zen 3 tops out around 2000 MHz).

 

Whether you want 16 GB or 32 GB depends on how much you need right now and for how long you plan on keeping the PC. Most games right now should be fine with 16, but a few years down the line 32 GB would probably be better.

What type of psu do you need for a mini itx pc?
