What kind of GPU temperatures are you seeing while you're gaming?

Andrew Murphy5

Here’s your own dedicated thread, though this isn't actually about RAM

First off, tell me exactly which power supply you're running (full model name) and what kind of cooling setup you have?
Would you even consider overclocking? You don't really need a Core i7 just for gaming. Running four cores would just be a waste on an i7 and a motherboard configured for SLI/CF. Besides, you'd end up playing on integrated graphics anyway...

Look, it’s obvious you just picked the option that makes the most sense for your budget. Most average users wouldn't even notice a difference in real-world use (unless they're obsessing over benchmarks anyway). In my opinion, when you pay a premium for those high-end SSDs, you're mostly just paying for the longer warranty protection rather than actual performance gains.

Samsung really does have the superior software suite.

EDIT

A 120GB Patriot Blaze or even some HyperX sticks...$150

An OCZ Arc 100 at 240GB barely scrapes past$233

👍

It’s a solid build. If I were in your shoes, I might have opted for the 550W version instead; you could have diverted those savings toward the EVGA GeForce RTX model—which comes with an extra year of warranty—and a 1TB drive. But honestly, for what you paid, this is an excellent deal.

From this link here, go ahead and order the IPS panel with pivot support in the 23" size

It’s fine, but honestly, you're better off grabbing the Intel Core i5 4460 instead. Use those savings to pick up a more powerful GPU, because neither the AMD Radeon R9 270 nor the Intel Core i5 4690 offers much value right now. You should look at something like an XFX Radeon R9 280, an NVIDIA GTX 960, or even a GTX 285...

This is currently the best deal you can find.

If you're trying to game but your CPU and GPU are feeling a bit underwhelming, here's your alternative move

XFX:

It’s a 23-inch screen—usually, you’d only see 22-inch models at this price point.

I believe the dates you’re looking for are June 18th. The real question is whether we'll actually see them hit the shelves here in the States immediately. Based on some unofficial word on the street, these new GPUs are actually priced higher than the current models—even though they're essentially just rebrands, which makes absolutely zero sense (logic dictates they should be cheaper). Honestly, who knows how this will play out. It's possible that the price drops we've been waiting for on existing cards, like the 285, might finally happen as a result of this shift.

that monitor for $343

I don't get how they claim to have no stock when it's an online store, and there aren't even any domestic distributors to pull from. It seems like they're constantly placing orders from overseas instead. I honestly have no clue how their logistics actually work.

Shipping to the end customer takes a maximum of 10 business days from the date the payment clears.

If a product is available in German, French, or Italian shops, there's a 90% chance he can get his hands on it—meaning his suppliers in those countries carry it.

Send an email over to Uzishop and see if they can track it down. They don't deal with any of the local American importers, so there's a good chance they can snag something that isn't available here in the States.

If you’ve already been waiting this long, just hang tight for a few more days until the next generation of GPUs drops; then you'll really see what's happening.
I've noticed a sudden price drop on the R9 285.

It was previously around $633
.
As for where you should buy it, that's entirely up to you based on what works best for your setup. Do you need to handle things like screen recording in Windows and all that?

Why would anyone pay $200 for RAM when you can grab 2GB of the new stuff for $33
?

Are you sourcing from multiple vendors?

If you can't find everything you need there, just grab it from Futura—it's straightforward. Alternatively, you could pick up the 8320E over at Uzishop.

The 290 pulls less power than the click

EDIT

rocco18, I’ve linked all the most reputable benchmarks regarding this topic right here, so take your pick.

I should also mention that since the initial outcry, owners of the GTX 1080 haven't really complained about those VRAM issues in newer titles.

Plus, if you opt for the GTX 1080, you might save a bit on your PSU since it draws about 80-90W less.

You're overthinking the trivial stuff. It doesn't really matter; it’s just marketing fluff at this point. When you're deep into overclocking, a "160W" rated cooler can actually become a bottleneck if you're trying to push an 80W processor even further. Personally, I never bother checking those specific ratings—I have no clue what every single cooler claims to handle. Just check some reviews, grab the most powerful cooler you can afford, and call it a day.
