If I wanted to just play games I would definitely go with i5 8400 or I could just go with R5 1600 if I really couldn't find one Intel chip available.
But I want to know if 8400 will be good for other things.
I know that ryzen is 10% slower in games. Which means when you play on 100 fps on Intel...
Don't get hyped brother. 2018 will be like 2017. Ryzen 2 (Only the 7 series) comes in March. Availability sucks at least for 2 months (then 5 and 3 series come out) so the prices are high as hell in countries like Greece.
If I wait like 6 months to buy, then people will say me why won't you...
Yes I would like to spend 500 Euro at most. So in theory the only machines that stay into this budget are i5 8400 R5 1600 and R7 1700 (and maybe i5 8600K) so as I understand Intel is by far better on gaming but will it be better than R7 on virtualization ?
The main complains about Intel's 8th...
I like the value that R5 1600 and i5 8400 has but in both cases I feel that R7 1700 is a little bit better. Whatever I think I can handle the fact I have 130 fps instead of 145 for these 10 more threads. If were cheaper 8th gen mobos then the things would be more clear. This i5 8400 would be the...
So as you understand my point is simple. I want to upgrade my old friend Phenom II x6 1090T and go into something new.
First of all, I can't wait more (I want to buy into the next 2 weeks).
Also, my budget is limited because RAM chips are way too expensive and I really want to buy 16GB of them...
Sorry but I just do not believe that in a year or probably 2 years, there will be a single gpu that will give me more power I will get from a used RX 480. Keep in your mind that we talk about ~150 Euro for used RX480 in a year from now and please do not compare the price range in 2 years.
I...
Thanks russian for the fast reply. I am happy that I wont face any problems at all. Anyway, my budget is limited for now so I can buy msi rx 480 or gtx 1060. And I will go with amd (after 5 years with nvidia and no problems) just because I have the option to spend 200 euro next year and xfire...
Can Corsair RM750x PSU handle 2xMSI RX 480 8GB ( @stock MSI clocks ) with i7 6700K @4.6 GHz ?
I tried Coolermaster's site and on maths it can handle it even on full load and 24/7 usage. But what's your opinion ?
Of course we tested everything and -thanks god- this PSU didn't kill any other part. We also tested the PSU on full load and everything works great. The real problem was that he had the stock cooler on this Phenom and things were going really hot under pressure so I underclocked his CPU, untill...
So a friend of mine has a PC which is 7-8 years old.
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1075T @stock
GPU: Sapphire Nitro AMD R7 360 @stock
Mobo: ASUS M4A87TD/USB3
RAM: 2 x Kingston DDR3 2GB
Optical: Sony DVD RW
HDD: 1TB Hitachi
And his PSU was Force 600 Watt. A really low end PSU. Yesterday, his PSU died...
I started to keen on buying the RX 480 because the Gigabyte G1 model costs ~310 Euro when the same GTX 1060 model costs ~350 Euro.
But things are more complicated for the MSI Gaming X models, where RX 480 comes for 360 and GTX 1060 comes on 370.
Again and again people say that Strix RX 480 is...
So we come back on my question. Which are the best AIB models for RX 480? (Because I can't find a place where they compare them) I would like to know about good GTX 1060 AIB models. But I think I keen on the red side.
I thought about it very much and I keen on RX 480.. Also, the Gigabyte G1 RX 480 now costs 30 less Euro than Gbyte G1 GTX 1060.
Is it a good AIB card ? I could buy the Strix for 30 more euro, which is my cash limit. Anyway, which is the best AIB ? I can't find a place where they compare them.
I bought back on 2010 a GT 430 because back then my gaming level was DotA, WoW etc. After almost 7 years I decided that a good GPU will offer me the potential to play some more graphics based games. You understand that my new GPU, if everything goes well, will be on my rig for 3 years at least...
Which is better; Asus Strix RX 480 8GB or Gigabyte G1 GTX 1060 6GB on the same price point?
Also if you consider another aftermarket card stronger tell me your opinion.
I can't decide which card I should buy. People say 1060 is stronger now (DX 11), but for future titles (DX12, Vulkan) 480 is...
I cant even remember what it is.. Assume that it's air cooling system for which i paid something like 15 Euro 6 years ago (Just a little better than the crap stock cooler)
Well, I bought my new 16GB Hyperx Savage (CAS Latency 9 and clock at 1866MHz)
But for now I have not yet unclocked my CPU because it was working on 80 degrees Celsius with a little boost from 3.2 GHz to 3.8..
A friend can give me corsair watercooling (it is H55 or H60) will it work okay on me...
I can't believe that someone who spends 700-800+ Euro to buy PC will have any problem to pay 40-50 more on ANNUAL basis..
Someone who runs a gaming Intel based PC with SL i5/i7 which with a good GPU costs at least 1000 Euro, is ridiculous to claim that shit about power consumption..
Here you buy FX 8350 for 160 Euro and i5 6600K for 250 Euro..
6600K costs over 50% more than 8350.. I mean that for sure I do not think that 6600K will give you 50% better performance than 8350
So 8350 isn't worthless.. In fact, I believe that in terms of perf/price AMD's stuff gets higher...
Yes I will surely OC the machine.. Really thank you, this articles are so much helpful!
I do not like buying second hand parts.. I do not know why but I feel a little bit cautious, because I don't know a place on my region where I can buy reliable second hand stuff.. Furthermore if I was going...
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
RAM Specs: 4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory (Source: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FX_R20/specifications/ )
PSU is cheap 600W (I think it is 80plus) but I believe that it works okay because I...
I believe that will be the same with Polaris..
The GPU will run perfectly, with very very little performance loss..
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Impact-of-PCI-E-Speed-on-Gaming-Performance-518/
Okay, I decided to keep my CPU/mobo as it is waiting for AMD's Polaris and then I will make the best buy.. So I am gonna buy for now just the RAM (because my PC needs at least some RAM upgrade.. 4GB too low)
-Mobo supports 4 x DDR3 1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz Non-ECC max 32GB memory, Un-buffered...
1)I wanted to spent:
200-250 Euro for GPU (Currentlu have Nvidia Geforce GT 430)
50 Euro for RAM upgrade (Currently have 4GB DDR3 1333MHz)
50-80 Euro for PSU with 2xPCIe 6-pin (Currently have 650W PSU that has 1xPCIe 6-pin)
So I have about 350 Euro to spend. But then people told me that my CPU...
Yes, but I guess that skylake will be for sure performing better than zen..
Anyway zen architecture will be on the new am4 socket.. So whatever I do sooner or later I should upgrade mobo
DX12 will use more efficient the multi-core CPUs ? So is there a chance older AMD's multi-core CPUs perform better than DX11 apps ?
Also, I believe my current mobo is a good-one (for AM3+ socket) Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0.. So is there any chances AMD release new cpus that can perform near the...
The games I play mostly are Dota, Football Manager, WoW etc, that's why I kept this machine without upgrade it.. I hadn't issues on playing these games, but from now and on I wanna try new games.. Not on enthusiast level just play eveything mid-high settings on 1080p..
I assume that...
Well, I have an ancient GT 430 1GB DDR3..
Also I do not care about 1440p or 4K, I just want to upgrade my PC just to play everything smoothly on 1080p
PS: Most of the people say R9 380X is the king on 1080p
I want to buy new gpu but I am afraid that my old cpu will bottleneck it..
My cpu is amd's phenom ii x6 1090t..
My budget is about 200-250€ so my first options were gtx 960 4gb, r9 380 4gb and r9 380x.. What is the best option according to my cpu? Should I wait until the release of amd...
