Great OP, OP. In a nutshell, what's the difference between the 5xx and 6xx family of NVidia's cards (energy saving?)? I currently have a i7 2600 and a NVidia 550, which is not an ideal combination. But currently I don't really need a new card anyway. What't the next affordable thing that is more better than the 560? Or can't anyone say at this point. Sorry for the stupid/unanswerable question. \/ Thanks a million and sorry for the oversight. lllllllllllllllllll fucked around with this message at 13:37 on May 11, 2012 |

And what about EVGA (might be a European thing)? Their stuff looks pretty slick. The EVGA Borderlands 2 NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti is tempting. \/ Thanks! lllllllllllllllllll fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Aug 26, 2012 |

Hi thread, I'm a bit confused about various models like SC, GTI and TI. Which one would I want if I wanted a reasonably good card (Nvidia 660)? I'm more concerned about stability and noise than performance. Thanks. Wow, this is helpful. Thanks! Probably mixed up "GTI" in my mind somehow. Sorry about that! lllllllllllllllllll fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Oct 21, 2013 |

Trip report: Coming from a MSI 550TI I bought a 2GB ZOTAC GeForce GTX 750TI and I'm happy as a clam. This thing delivered the little kick I expected of it and more. Admittedly I only play Street Fighter 4, Civ. 5, those Blizzard games and a bit of Counterstrike, but without Anti-Aliasing this is more than enough performance at 1080p. Also the fact that it only uses a maximum of 60 Watts is giving me warm tingles. I'm weird like that.

So I really can have a 980 with a TDP of 120W and 6GB RAM for 280$ now? Yes, please. This upgrade was worth waiting for.

Sorry, this is a bit of a weird question. Is there a list of recent Nvidia graphic cards that run silent (fan not running) when idle? Most cards seem hardcoded to spin at least at 40%. My Gainward 1060 6GB e.g. completely stops. Now I am looking for another NV 1050 4GB (or 1060) that does that.

As far as I know Freesynch is AMD's implementation of Adaptive Synch, working with HDMI. I hope Adaptive Synch is possible with HDMI too and not just DP.

FuzzySlippers posted:If I've got a card that's significantly louder than it is supposed to be (based on reviews), is there anything to tinker with or is it just an RMA thing? Download and install MSI Afterburner and 1) undervolt the card 2) set a different fan curve. It is easier than it looks and makes a difference of almost 10°C with my 1060 on load. People here can help too (or visit the overclocking megathread). Or just sent it back.

That's 2073600 (1920x1080) vs 3686400 (2560x1440) pixels, so around 1.8 times as many pixels to push. Add 144 hz which more than twice as many images than 60 hz and you'll end up with about four times higher performance requirements than 1080p@60 (would that be correct?). I'd go with a nvidia 2070 or higher for that. Decent screens like the Asus MG278Q can be had for less than 400$, so that would be a little less than 1000$ combined if you go with the inexpensive options.

On the other hand Gigabyte's windforce cards always worked very well for me. Both are probably very good.

The only benefit would be slightly less heat (and electricity), but with a 1050 that negligible. I have a 1060 and have activated fast-synch in the Nvidia driver panel. If adaptive synch is not available for whatever reason this would be the next best thing.

double nine posted:Which brings me to my bigger question, what's the significance of the brand? I'm thinking of buying an msi 1660 ti because it seems to be the "brand" with the best balance for noise and performance, and is relatively cheap (compared to asus, evga and some of the gigabyte cards). Is this correct?

That's a sensible choice. Maybe the best option for 1080p as you don't pay for the near unusable tensor cores of the 2600 which is in a weird place. Might be the best value for money.

This site tells me a 1080 gets you 152+ FPS at 2560x1440 with high details already and a 2070 or 2070S would not get you considerably more. I'd take a look at your system first before buying anything else.

Apparently my PC uses 234 Watts when I max out the AMD 2700 (non-x) and the NV 1060 using Furmark and some CPU tool. Given that a 2060 Super uses 70 Watts more I should be fine with my beQuiet 400 Watts PSU despite the recommendation for a higher wattage, right? I was thinking of getting a GALAX GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER EX (alt name: 8GB KFA2 GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER EX) that's why I'm asking.

B-Mac posted:Is that 234 watts a hardware or software reading? You’ll need to account for the rest of you system too if your just reading cpu and GPU power draw off software. Most likely you’ll be fine but it might be cutting it close with a 400W PSU.

Taerkar posted:I've currently got a 1060 6GB version and it's really starting to show its age with certain things, pushing me to look to getting an upgrade. I'll be moving this card into my partner's PC so they'll get good use out of it, but I'm mostly looking to not spend too much. I'm thinking around $300 or so but I could go up to $400 if it's a good enough card to justify spending extra on it. Might consider a Nvidia 2060 Super which starts at 400$ and is roughly 50% faster than the 1060 with 2 more GB of RAM. Not quite the jump it was from 9XX to 1XXX but noticeably faster. Below that I'm not sure it's worth buying a new card. Might want to wait a few more months to see what is being released. https://www.gpucheck.com/en-usd/com.../high/high/-vs-
