Hello, I'm going to try and help you if I can. For starters, 72C on the memory is safe so that's not the problem. -Now uninstall MSI afterburner if you're using that and open Wattman like a true AMDer. -Create a custom profile with stock clocks and p7 voltage of 1000 and p6 of 950mV. Decrease...

Fanboys are really funny. Since when do you care for a 50w tdp difference when there is (maybe??) performance to back that up? Let's all just buy 1030's then

So the asrock x470 master/gaming k4 are worse than the b450 pro4? Great methodology :roll: From those 2 I'd choose the asrock because of better bios and i dislike gigabyte. Still both of them are very weak. My preference would go towards either a: asrock b450m pro 4 Asus tuf b450m-PRO MSI b450m...

Sell your kit and grab 2x16GB sticks at 3000mhz or better Intel cpu's also scale well with ram speed, contrary to what many people will suggest... Edit: didn't read the OP post properly... I guess for VM ram speed won't matter but 32GB should still be enough?

Look for cheap vega's, new or used (with warranty) You could probably get a much better deal than on a gtx/rtx

Don't bother, he's too smart for a worthwhile discussion. My vega 56 was cheaper than a rtx 2060 and this was back in November :p

I'm not going to bother with any argument dude, there's no point. Just enjoy that a lower priced gpu with more bandwidth and better theoretical raw performance (RX 570) beats another more expensive gpu (GTX 1060). I couldn't care less about the rest of what you said, just bear in mind that my...

Are you trolling or being serious? Having a hard time trying to distinguish... Obviously game engine and GPU architecture matters the most but many nvidia titles employ tactics to "gimp" performance (taking advantage off said architecture weaknesses) whereas AMD skips those tactic (atleast that...

Ever noticed that most AMD sponsored titles run well on both NVIDIA and AMD (not AC Odissey...) while most NVIDIA sponsored titles run like crap on both (with nvidia taking the lead)?

Sell one of the vegas and all the waterblocks. Upgrade when navi flagship arrives. Unless you are really keen for more performance

Yes I know, 500w would be more than enough. But it's always better to go overkill to reduce load and, consequently heat/noise output from psu and also for possible future upgrades.

Hello bubbles, after having seen most of the builds linked here I'm a bit disappointed by most, with some IGP builds even included... So I made my own balanced build and it is under budget at 1200au$. You can easily upgrade the GPU when your son demands more from the computer and you can upgrade...

When I first got my freesync monitor I searched for the best way to enjoy it and I came across a reddit thread where an official amd person reccomended against frame limiters and instead using v-sync to cap fps. The main job of freesync / g-syng is to avoid tearing when below monitor refresh...

Yes sure you can but it might not be worth the hassle
