| For all the good it will do, I figure we should have an RTX 3000-series FAQ. Posted: 01 Sep 2020 01:05 PM PDT In an effort to at least slow down some of the crazy amounts of posting we're going to be dealing with now after the announcement of the RTX 3000 series, I'm going to go ahead and create a thread which will hopefully answer some questions. Edit: This thread is tailored to answer the deluge of threads we get that are asking these questions. For general information on the RTX 3000-series cards, please see the Nvidia subreddit thread. In the event my info is wrong/out-of-date, or if there's other stuff that needs to be added to the main post, please let me know. The order of questions I add here and my responses will be based on how often I see the question or how annoyed I am by said questions. Will [x CPU] bottleneck with an RTX 3XXX?This depends on too many factors to say. Remember that EVERY machine has a bottleneck somewhere. Without one, you'd have literally infinite performance. Also, bottlenecks are more than just CPU vs GPU, and that a bottleneck cannot be quantified. They depend on the game you're playing, they depend on the resolution you're playing at. They depend on your RAM quantity and speed. And if you have a CPU bottleneck, whether or not it even matters depends on the type of game you're playing (whether or not it has input speeds based on FPS), and your monitor's refresh rate. Also note that the CPU sets the maximum FPS for a game without regard for resolution (or as I like to say, CPU gives no shits for resolution. If a CPU can do 100FPS at 720P, it can do 100 FPS at 4K). So if you're that worried about a bottleneck, you can always drop your resolution to minimum, the non-CPU impacting detail settings to minimum (anti-aliasing, filtering, texture levels, maybe shadows (depending on the game)) and see what sort of FPS you can expect. If you're happy with the max FPS in the games you play, then your CPU is not an issue. Also note that a lot of games are engine limited - specifically those that start their lives as console games - and that they're going to be engineered for a minimum FPS, and getting much more than that is going to be difficult, if not impossible. Notice a 7-year-old game like GTA V will often dip down into the mid 50's even with an RTX 2080 Ti and 9900K even at 1080p. Something like Red Dead 2 will be the same. Hey and here's my first EDIT: Also note that even if your CPU does present a significant bottleneck, or if you're concerned it will, it's not like the CPU and GPU are soul-bound the second you install it. If you have a lower-end CPU right now, you can always get one of the new RTX 3000-series, then TEST IT to see if you have a significant bottleneck that negatively effects your performance, and then upgrade the CPU later. Will there be a price drop on the RTX 2000-series now that the 3000 series has been announced??Probably not. Production on the RTX-2000 series ended several months ago. Nvidia does not allow authorized resellers to price their items below MSRP, and Nvidia (historically) has not done a MSRP drop for new-in-box items. Additionally, pricing algorithms being what they are means that the price of old-tech tends to go up, rather than down. The used market, however will likely see a significant price drop. OMG my motherboard doesn't have PCI 4.0!! Is the RTX 3XXX going to run like crap! IS THIS A BOTTLENECK?!?So let's say that you're a graphics chip company. And let's say that you want to sell a ton of graphics chips. You look at the emerging standard that is PCIe 4.0, and you recognize that it is installed in literally less than 1% of all machines on the market. Are you really going to release a product that has its performance torpedoed by this being missing? Fact is, we can't really know the answer to this question for sure until the cards are released and benchmarked. But considering the RTX 2080 Ti's performance on PCI 3.0 vs 2.0, we can safely assume that if there IS a difference, it'll probably be in the single digits of performance. Do I need to upgrade my power supply for the RTX 3XXX?Possibly. Maybe not. The I will say this, however, the fact that Nvidia introduced this connector is INTERESTING in that the PCIe power connector is usually part of the ATX standard, which is a standard basically controlled by Intel. That Nvidia introduced a new form of power connector that didn't come through the ATX standard is both interesting and alarming. It's possible that Nvidia is attempting to force Intel to adopt their standard of connector and add it to the ATX standard, or it's possible that there was cooperation behind the scenes and it will be added later in a revision. If it's the former, this could be alarming as we could be looking at a future market where power supplies are marketed to individual competing standards, and certain ones have to be adapted over to work with other standards. As most experts in this sub generally don't recommend power adapters if possible, this is not an ideal situation. Oh - and on that note, apparently the 3090 will include an adapter for the 12-pin connector. NOW. All that said, do you need to upgrade? It's really difficult to know. The RTX 3090 12-pin connector is recommended only for If you're rocking a well-made 650W unit, you're probably fine (no, I'm not going to list all of the power supplies out there for you to check whether or not it'll be fine. If you want to check your unit, find out the model number and check the LTT tier list. It should not be considered the gospel truth of power supplies, but I figure it's in the ballpark). I was thinking about getting the RTX 3070, but should I get the 3080 to be FUUUUUUTUUUUUREE PROOOOOOF!?I'm of the opinion that "future proof" is a myth. In the case of the RTX 3070 vs the 3080, you're going to be paying 40% more for the increased performance. This may allow the 3080 to "last" longer than the 3070, but remember that the wall of diminishing returns is a cast iron BITCH. That $200 difference between the 3080 and the 3070? In three years, that could, in theory, pay for a significant portion of an upgrade to a 4070 (or whatever it may be called), and it's always possible that in three years that you may not have maxed out the performance of the 3070. We really don't know what the future holds, so I've always called trying to be "future proof" as "Chasing the future proof dragon". You're not going to be able to pay 40% more and suddenly the card will "last" 200% longer. Newer mid-range is almost always significantly faster than the previous high-end. Will my case support the RTX 3XXX?The 3090 founder's edition cooler is a 3-slot, 12.3" (313 mm) length unit. Does your case have three open slots? Does the specs for it allow for 12.3" (313mm) cards? Then it will fit fine. Lower-end cards will undoubtedly have smaller coolers, so you can try to make a decision from there. Will my case be able to cool the RTX 3XXX?Impossible to say currently. Depends on how cool these things run. But probably. Remember that GPU temperatures often get up as high as 90C without any problems. Should I buy a RTX 3090 or 3080 or 3070?Depends on your needs. Depends on the performance. If you don't know, I'd wait for benchmarks. Which RTX 3XXX should I buy for Cyberpunk 2077Impossible to say prior to the game being out and before the cards are out. I'd wait for benchmarks. When will the lower-end RTX cards be announced?Anyone who knows for sure will be bound to not say. But usually about six months after the first announcement for the XX60 cards, and a little while after that for the entry-level units. How will the [X card] perform in [Y game]?Impossible to say. Wait for benchmarks. How will the second releases (XX60) cards perform in [Y game]?Even less possible to say. Wait for benchmarks. I want to pre-order the 30XX. How do I do that?
If I don't pre-order, when will I be able to get a RTX 30XX?General availability usually follows release dates by about 2 months. But your crystal ball is as good as anyone else's. How will the RTX 30XX perform in FS2020?Seriously. Wait for benchmarks. Will the RTX 30XX..WAIT FOR BENCHMARKS. Edit: This section below for discussion/questions suggested by comments: Founders edition or third party?Historically, the Founder's editions have been questionably cooled, moderately performing units. That seems to have largely changed with the RTX 2000 series. Nvidia abandoned blower-style coolers, and their cards seem to GPU boost adequately versus the competition. Is it going to run as cool, or as fast as the "SUPER GIGA KABOOM ROG STRIXX OMG OC3 MILITARY FPS FTW BBQ" versions from whichever manufacturer puts it out? Probably not. But it also won't be as expensive either. Gotta decide whether it's worth paying significantly more. The 2070 Super Founder's edition, for example, can be had for $499. The EVGA FTW3 2070 Super runs for $629. Meanwhile the FTW3, usually runs around 2-5 FPS faster. Up to you if that's worth it. I just bought [X card] recently. Should I upgrade to a RTX 3XXX?¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can't really make that decision for you. If you're not in a situation of being able to return the card, or you're not eligible for a 100% purchase value trade-in value option like EVGA's Step-up, then you're looking at having to sell your current card. You'll take a value hit on that simply from it being used. You'll take a value hit from the new cards being released and the market adjustment that will undoubtedly happen. And if you sell on something like Ebay, you'll take a hit on selling/payment fees. How much for all of this? Who knows. But as the pricing stabilizes you can look at active sales data and see what things are selling for to decide whether or not the cost of your card is high enough to justify selling. Additionally, just because you bought a card doesn't mean that it suddenly doesn't work anymore. If, for example, you're playing Fortnite on a 1080p/144Hz display on a RTX 2080S right now, chances are an upgrade to an RTX 3XXX card will have FPS significantly above the refresh rate of the display and you may not even get a noticeable upgrade.

| Help me find the absolute worst quality webcam Posted: 01 Sep 2020 06:22 AM PDT Build Help/Ready:Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yes. What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).
Here are a couple I've looked at, but I do not understand their intended usecases and how I would mount the first one.
Provide any additional details you wish below. I want reliably shitty but reliably durable. I don't have experience with webcams. Can I make it intentionally worse with settings? Thank you for the help! NOTE: You do not have to follow this format, but please be sure to answer these questions. Please do not ask to simply be given a build. You are welcome to delete this section. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Rtx 3080 and 3070 motherboard compatibility (PCIe 4) Posted: 01 Sep 2020 10:57 AM PDT Now that they have released the information about the new GPUs, I wonder if the new B550 series is going to be able to use all of that power or is it exclusive for the new x570 series for now?

| The biggest downside of moving from a full tower to a mid tower case. Posted: 01 Sep 2020 11:05 AM PDT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 01 Sep 2020 10:09 AM PDT I see many people still speccing things like 2080 Supers and such for their PCs they're building soon. Even though the cards are not out, if you can manage another few weeks to build your system, just wait and take a ride through what I did in 2014. I purchased a 2GB 770 about a month before the godly Maxwell architecture came out (it even came with Watch Dogs! wow). This forum (myself included) were saying that the 770 was perfect for 1080p gaming at 60 FPS based on benchmarks for the longest time, and that's exactly what I wanted to do. So I just bought one as my messily 1GB 6850 wasn't cutting it anymore. I was excited and it was cool to finally play games at a much higher framerate and fidelity. But I didn't expect the next generation to be much of a jump and didn't want to battle it flying off the shelves. Historically, the performance increases from the 400 series to the 700 series were pretty insignificant (relatively speaking, based on current generational leaps), and Maxwell looked like it was just a power efficiency jump. But here comes the 970, a 3.5GB card that got massive performance gains on my 770 for the exact same price due to its ability to clock more than 50% higher, as well as the architecture being newer. Then with that bump to VRAM in midrange cards? Not a short time later, my 2GB card was almost out the door and wasn't cutting it for even high settings on most AAA games as textures were too big. Being in Canada, I tried to use EVGAs Step-Up program, but shipping costs were ridiculous and I may as well have bought a new card. I was just outside of the return window at my retailer, and I was now stuck with a 770 because I was a little impatient. If people are telling you to wait like, 6 months for a part? I wouldn't listen as there will always be better components releasing over the long term and that's a long time to wait. But this is now very short term; even if you don't get it right away due to having to fight stock numbers to get your hands on a 3080 in a couple of weeks or 3070 when they launch in October, you will be much happier spending the same (or sometimes even less) money if you can get one on backorder. If you need something ASAP, buy something that has a policy through the board-partner that allows you to pay the price difference and shipping between cards and get the new 3000 series (i.e. EVGA Step-Up, I don't know if other manufacturers have something similar now). Learn from my mistake I made back in 2014 and your PC will be more of a powerhouse in the short term, and have more longevity before you have to upgrade again.

| 27" 1440p vs ultrawide for gaming? Posted: 01 Sep 2020 02:27 PM PDT Hello, Soon I am building my first ever PC and I am not sure which monitor to buy. The main focus will be gaming. When it comes to games I would say I will spend around 70% of the time playing FPS and 30% everything else. I know ultrawide has an advantage when it comes to peripheral vision but is it worth it the extra price ? And if an ultrawide monitor gives you a competitive advantage why are streamers like Shroud, Tfue not using it? I am ready to spend around 700-800$ on a monitor. My PC specs will be Ryzen 7 3700X 16GB DDR4 RAM 3200MHz RTX 3080 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 01 Sep 2020 11:18 AM PDT Parts:
Bought everything mid-July when there were some mobo and psu shortages so prices were a bit higher that usual. The build was finished at the time but I've recently added the gpu brace and switched out the black rear exhaust fan that came with the case for an argb that matches the others. Was definitely a learning experience and can't wait to upgrade down the line. If I could go back and change only one thing I would tell myself to definitely get a modular PSU.

| How long until aftermarket GPU's come out/able to be preordered? How long do they sell out for? Posted: 01 Sep 2020 10:22 AM PDT I was waiting to hear about a possible 3080ti for an upgrade to my 1080ti, but 2x~ the performance for $600 sounds great! I'm basing that off of this. My plan is to wait for benchmarks and maybe preorder ahead of time. I'm going to place it in my current build for now with plans to upgrade it further later. I'm trying to plan out a budget though, so I was wondering how long aftermarket cards take to be announced? I built my PC during the crypto mining "era" and I recall GPU's being out of stock for months. How long do GPU's typically remain sold out for post-launch? I know with Coronavirus being around we'll probably see stock problems, but I was looking to get a rough idea. Thanks! TL:DR;

| Is it worth upgrading from an RX 5700 XT to an RTX 3070? Posted: 01 Sep 2020 01:21 PM PDT So i built a PC with a Ryzen 7 3700x and a B450 motherboard earlier this year along with an MSI RX 5700 XT and i mainly use it for 1440p gaming at 144 fps and some CAD. I have wondered if it makes sense upgrading from my current card to something like an RTX 3070 (or perhaps even an 3080) or should i skip this gen and opt for 4000 series of GPUs or perhaps even the super cards (whenever that will come out). Any advice? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Building my first PC and would love some feedback Posted: 01 Sep 2020 06:51 AM PDT As the title said I am working on putting together my first PC build and I was hoping I could get some feedback on ways to improve it or things that may be overkill/unnecessary. I am currently sitting at this: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory Storage: Western Digital Blue SN550 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB Video Card Case: Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650 W 80+ Gold Cert. Fully Modular ATX Power Supply And for monitor I am trying to choose between the ASUS TUF VG27AQ and the LG 27GL850. My goal is ultimately to play games like Cyberpunk, Flight Simulator, New AAA games, etc (on high graphical settings). I think I am sitting at about $1300 right now before the monitor and that is around the range I was looking at but I am not afraid to go up or down a little bit of need be. Thanks so much for any help! :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do motherboards usually come with SATA cables? Posted: 01 Sep 2020 02:34 PM PDT I'm posting this for a friend who's going to be building a PC soon and he wants to know if he needs to buy some SATA cables or if they come with the MOBO and if so how long are they usually, he may need to purchase a slightly longer one for cable management purposes.

| My thoughts on the RTX 3000 series launch and the future of the AMD in the GPU Industry Posted: 01 Sep 2020 12:45 PM PDT Before I start, I just want to say I'm not a professional in this industry nor do I work for either AMD or Nvidia. I've been an AMD fanboy for a very long time, but the RTX 3000 series announcement has had me thinking about this. PC sales have been slowly declining since 2011, but I'm pretty sure this is going to change in the next few years. PCs and PC components are getting cheaper and many people are now seeing the advantages PCs have from consoles. PCs can be fully customized, there are many more videogames, easier to upgrade, mods, etc. The RTX 3000 series is fueling this further with Nvidia's competitive pricing. Here are the specs we know so far about the three new GPUS:
This is crazy to me. This performance is a great technological achivment, especially at this low of a price point. I was not expected the 3080 or the 3070 to be this price. 3090 is a higher price than I expected. According to the launch video:
This can't be 100% believed, though. These numbers are probably exaggerated by PR. According to Digital Foundry, he found that the 3080 was around 80% faster than the 2080. The 3070 is also apparently faster than the 2080ti with RTX on, at a $500 price point. The 3070 is probably going to be twice as fast as the 1080ti, at $500. The only thing I find a bit odd is the 8GB vram of the 3070, which might be a little low for future games. I thought the 3070 would have 11 GB of VRAM, the 3080 16GB, and the 3090 24 GB. Again, I'm kind of skeptical about these numbers, so we have to wait for benchmarks. In short, performance per dollar has been INSANELY lowered for Nvidia. Across the board, you're probably going to find around 1.8x times around performance per dollar for Nvidia. Unless AMD has something great at a low price point with RDNA2, Big Navi has no chance. The reason why Nvidia is probably having such a low price point is to eliminate competition. Usually, AMD's GPUS (and CPUs) were known to have better performance per dollar, which is why I bought my rx 580 instead of a 1660. But with Nvidia having such a low price-point, I don't think AMD can have a better price to performance. Unless AMD has something amazing up its sleeves, they have no chance. Nvidia won the GPU market in my opinion. Again, these numbers can't be believed without benchmarks, but they can't be that off. With more and more people coming into PC gaming in the next few years, GPU sales will be even higher. We don't know much yet, but I believe Nvidia killed it with the 3000 series. I bought 5 shares of Nvidia, and I'm waiting for AMD's presentation to see what's happening with Big Navi. I personally hope they outperform so its more competitive, because, in the end, consumers win because of competition. For people looking to build PCs in the near future, wait for the 3000 series to come out. There's no doubt about it.

| Posted: 01 Sep 2020 02:16 PM PDT Hi, so planing on upgrading my 7-8 y old pc. I saw at work a pair of GSkill Trident Z Royal RGB Gold ram and i totally fell in love with them and now i want them in future new pc setup. As for the motherboard and or (mobo as i saw pple use ) i want a Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X - intel (yeah i know it's expensive but i want RAM freq to be over 2933). I documented myself on both Gigabyte and GSkill site that the "RGB Fusion 2.0" should work with the Ram. I am planning on purchasing a case with 3 front RGB fans Intertech one, my MAIN question is will i be able to control the RAM lighting from that "RGB Fusion 2.0" app and if possible as well as the front fans to sync ? like the fans to sync with the RAM ? even if it's a small delay. I know the fans should be controllable from BIOS..but for them to sync... I know my shit when it comes to building computers mainly office ones and a bit for gaming but when it comes to "lighting sync/show or other flashy shit" i am a bit out of my league b/c i never did something like this.

| My first build is not turning on Posted: 01 Sep 2020 12:11 PM PDT This is a pic of the build https://ibb.co/hRLpxmc I press a screwdriver on the two pins that are meant for the power button but it won't turn on. Everything seems to be installed correctly; in fact, i've been stuck on this build for a month and a half now and I keep swapping out parts wondering if they are the issue. The power supply swap from a Seasonic Focus Gold 550w semi-mod was the swap of the last original component and I was really hoping that it was the issue but it doesn't seem like it. Ryzen 3 3100, asrock b450m pro4 (ryzen 3000 ready), 16gb 3200mhz ram, rx 570, evga supernova g+ 750w Is there any way to test a power supply without colored wires?

| Quadriplegic player fighting to return and pwn noobs! Posted: 31 Aug 2020 11:06 PM PDT TLDR: Quadriplegic awesome sauce dude needs help building PC because prebuilts are not optimum for the adaptive equipment I need, overcharge and are a blight on existence! I was was born with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy called Werdnig-Hoffman's that left me quadriplegic since birth. Any physical activity you do during an average day, I must have done for me. Need a drink?ask for help. Spider crawling on me? Scream then ask for help. Fortunately technology became available that allowed me to play WoW with slight head movements, for the first time in my life I was able to experience freedom from this crappy body and own noobs, it was amazing and here's video I made with my nephew showing the equipment and ins and outs of how I could play at relatively high levels even though I can't feed myself: "bionic gamer gimpyg" on YouTube. Unfortunately my equipment and computer got zapped leaving me unable to interact with the world or teabag fallen comrades who stepped in fire. I was really depressed for a year but decided to fight to get back what I had lost and maybe become even better. After a small but successful Gofundme, I have the funds to get a computer and adaptive equipment but holy smokes the disability stuff is sooo expensive, like $3250 for a single mini joystick I can move with my lower lip. I am trying to get Linus from LTT, Jayztwocents , Gamers Nexus or Paul's Hardware to help me build a PC that can accommodate my special requirements. Tons of unobstructed connections, Bluetooth and wireless for even more adaptive devices, AMD based for streaming and video and, finally, either the 3090 or 3080 GPU. I can purchase the components but definitely need help in the construction...to that end could the good people of this reddit assist me in convincing someone listed above that a collaborative video of us teaming up to free me from my rekt body and deposit me into worlds I can explore would be technically interesting and uplifting in the cursed year of 2020. Please ask me anything and help me make a longtime dream come true. I would also take help from Nvidia or other companies who desire to show they care about gaming and a great cause. My Twitter is Gimpygod if you wanna contact me. Thanks very much my fellow enthusiasts!

| Newbie here. If I want an RTX 3070, what should I do? Preorder? Best brand? Posted: 01 Sep 2020 01:20 PM PDT I've never built a PC or owned a desktop before so I'm kinda lost as to what I should do in regards to the RTX 3070 coming out. How long should I wait to get one? Should I get Founder's Edition, or 3rd party? Should I preorder, or wait until after they come out? Which 3rd party brand is the most reliable or has the best price? I'm not looking to spend any more than the $500 price they gave. Thanks :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| After years of gaming on a laptop, I finally have my first build Posted: 01 Sep 2020 09:09 AM PDT Couldn't be happier with how this turned out. Does anybody else constantly think about what they can upgrade on their build? I started out with the basics then added in the AIO, sleeved cables, fans and I'm still thinking about what I can add or change. PC Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: Radeon RX 5700xt RAM: 16GB G.Skill 3200 MOBO: B450 Tomahawk Max SSD: 500GB WD SN550 Case: NZXT H510i Cooler: Kraken X63 AIO Fans: AER RGB 2 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 01 Sep 2020 12:38 PM PDT Hello, I am currently getting my brand new 2060 super returned due to a bearing issue with one of the fans and am getting my money back, however was wondering should I perhaps purchase the exact same when they return in stock or wait for a 3060 for when they release. Is there an outstanding difference? Is it worth the wait? Will other parts in my build bottleneck anything? Please if you have any answers or advice I am more than willing to listen! Thanks! This is my system: Intel i7 8700 TUF Gaming B360-PRO Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x 8GB DDR4 3600 Gigabyte RTX 2060 SUPER (obviously) Aero Cool 500W Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB Barracuda HDD [link] [comments] |
