Getting older sucks... Because I can remember actual budget performance bargains like the GTX260 Core 216 launching for like $250-300 and the 9600GT for like $175. You could actually play DirectX 10 games on them if you had a decent multi core CPU.
@haiwin224 In the future you'll have to change gpu every few years anyway so why pay at least $500 every now and then when you can go half that for more than decent experience.
@@LoneWolf-je9vr You don't understand. In 2008 a customer paid $250-300 for a full featured upper midrange card. The GTX 260 Core 216 was the equivalent of a RTX 4070 Ti Super in terms of performance and placement in Nvidia's product stack in that period. For new DX10 titles like Crysis, Far Cry 2, and Supreme Commander the GTX 260 Core 216 was a great card. There is zero reason the modern equivalent upper midrange card costs $800 when in 2008 it cost $300. $300 in 2008 adjusted for inflation is about $440. Nvidia is ripping everyone off not because their costs have gone up, but rather because they know that people will pay outrageous prices for that performance.
You can look from another perspective. Consider the transistor, density, process size, and die size. The process and die size is getting smaller while packing a whole lot transistor and density. This is just exactly like an itx thingy. You get an itx tax in gpu form . Another easier way to interpret : this is just abstract imagination. Imagine 1000 kg of steel = 1000 of 1 kg steel. The latter will be sold with higher price because you need to consider the energy and cost to cut those into tiny pieces of 1 kg into 1000 of them. And if those action need to add up the profit, it'll add up to the end user price. Probably that's the gist nvidia tax
@@Crunchy-XG I doubt materials cost and lower nanometer processes have increased material and manufacturing costs 200%. Is it more expensive to make more efficient and powerful chips? Sure. I don't think it is 2x more expensive. Even if they are using 200% more materials per GPU PC gaming getting more mainstream would lead to lower cost of raw materials and finished products due to economies of scale. Back when I graduated High School and bought a GTX 260 Core 216 PC gaming was still relatively niche. I knew plenty of my classmates who gamed. Just 90% of them were on console. There was no Twitch. There was not really a lot of PC centered channels on TH-cam. Now gaming on PC is mainstream. I don't buy that Nvidia is taking it in the shorts on the high cost of producing GPUs. I don't believe that they have to charge outrageous prices to their customers. I do believe they have jacked up prices to get max return on each unit sold to keep the shareholders happy.
I just recently bought a 4060 and I got ROASTED hard online, and this video really helped in settling my mind, I am upgrading from an rx550 card and so far the rtx 4060 has served me well
The RTX 4060 is a good card for 1080p. It was criticized too much because of the amount of memory and 128-bit bus. However, if you look at the actual performance, it is more often than not faster than 3060. Perhaps in the future, due to the amount of memory, you will have to reduce the quality of textures, but for another 1-2 years it will run all games at high settings.
I have had a Ryzen 5 2600 and a GTX 1060 3GB ... I too bough a 4060 and paired it with a 5 5600, why the frick would I pay for 4070 which costs ALOT and I do not have a 1440p monitor (and I am not talking about my 520W PSU and B450M motherboard), 4060 is a solid card, do not care about the opinions of low lifers... this PC will serve me for the next 3 to 4 years before buying one brand new but I will not sell it, nope.
As a person who does benchmarks, I want to warn everyone who after this video wanted to buy an RTX 4060. First and most importantly, this card has already not enough video memory for ultra textures at 1080p in some modern games. For example, the game horizon forbidden west takes about an hour or two for the memory to fill up and start transferring it into RAM. The glorified frame generation, which only worsens the situation in case of memory shortage lack. Despite the fact that the 3060 is weaker than the 4060 (when 4060 has enough VRAM) I would still give it preference if you find it used, an ordinary user will have fewer problems with it. On it, you can play new AAA gaming in 2K without any problems, with ultra textures and DLSS. If the game allows you to enable frame generation from AMD along with DLSS it is even better, there the 4060 would have long ago choked. No matter what anyone says, a card with a 128 bus and 8 gigabytes of memory has no right to be called higher than 4050 in 2024.
By the way, I didn't say in the video that you need to buy the RTX 4060 instead of the 3060. I said that the characteristics can be deceiving. Without a doubt, real 12 GB is better than 8 GB and 4 GB is not compensated by increased cache memory and new architecture. At certain settings, the 4060 can lose to the 3060, set it to 1440p and ultra textures and the 4060 will lose.
And it seems strange to me to set unrealistic settings for these video cards. In fact, these are mid-entry-level video cards, why include ultra textures on them? To "enjoy" 30 FPS?
@@livegamesii Actual textures don't have a substantial hit on performance, just on VRAM. If you have a 16gb-20gb GPU, you will basically get the same performance with low textures and ultra textures, it's just that ultra textures use more VRAM. These mid-entry-level video cards can enjoy ultra textures at 60fps if their VRAM and bus width would allow them to. With a 12gb 3060 you can set other game settings (that affect actual GPU performance) to medium or high in order to achieve a solid 60fps and then crank textures to ultra which will help with image quality. The performance impact will be small or non-existant because textures only need VRAM and bandwidth.
@@livegamesii I completely agree with you, I personally have never owned a console. And I will always choose lower graphics and textures in order to get 60 fps.
I went from a GTX 1050 2GB to a RTX 3050 8GB, It was a nice upgrade for me, I'm still using my same CPU, Ryzen 5 2600. It's good for most games that I play, I'm grateful for the upgrade, and ofc, different countries and currencies exists sooo yea.
@vZinDix cus nvidia has more support than amd, such as Blender, content creation, etc. Thats why I went for it. Otherwise if it was just all about gaming then I wouldve gone for the rx 6600
one of the mistakes is people not researching much about gpu's then gets scammed with its performance(that's the case in my country)....so i recommended a friend to buy a rx 6600 cause it has great performance and budget wise pretty affordable, but instead he gets a rtx 3050 which sucks and a huge waste of money honestly, his reasoning is it has RTX😭
If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard, power supply, CPU, Case, Cooling and RAM. You can compromise on the price of the GPU, because that's the component that is easy to replace and next gen will always offer a better performance. Replacing the GPU with a better one is much easier if the power supply and CPU haven been choosen with future upgrades in mind. It's not unusual to replace the GPU 2 - 3 times with a new gen card before having the need to replace the CPU and RAM (and the mainboard). A good high end power supply can even last 10 years or more. Also a good case with filters at the air intakes reduces the aging of components like PSUs and CPU coolers by reducing dust and dirt inside the case.
Regards : If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard. Go AMD AM5 and you have years to get better CPU with same MB. Get a good PS and you can expand for 5 years both CPU and GPU. Picking a GPU is always a challange as there is so much hype and misinformation floating aroud. Some hate AMD for all the youtube scammers and AMD hype. Others hate NVIDA for insane pricing. Look at what NVIDA just brought to the makret.
about the VRAM, It also depends on your usage, if you are playing 1080p, but at the same time you want to stream on YT/Twitch, get more then 8 GB of VRAM + 8 GB won't be enough in ca 3 yrs if the trend continues
Wow I am glad I clicked on this video, here I was thinking I already knew plenty about GPUs since past 3 years but I got to learn a couple more things from this video too, not just for GPUs but even for CPUs and architectural improvement! Very great video, you deserved my sub 👍
Nah, me getting the rtx 3080 was the last time getting an nvidia card. Despite all the PR behind raytracing, it's a performance hog, doesn't add much and decreases frames too much, having to depend on DLSS 2, which makes the visuals bad. So much for a flagship Nvidia card They already abandoned 30 series cards in terms of features like DLSS 3.
You didn't understand the point of the video, watch it again. you need to take a card that matches its vram capacity in terms of power. for example, there is an rtx 4060 ti which has 16 GB and for this card this is an excessive amount of memory, but the RX 7700 XT for the same money has 12 GB and is more powerful in raster graphics - it is more preferable and balanced.
I saw a RX 580 tested with 8GB vs 16GB. No res/setting that used more than 8GB ran well - the card isn't powerful enough for any use that uses the extra VRAM.
vram can make a huge difference... have a poc 400$ console, ryzen 5 8600G with 32gb ram, uses 10gb for the igpu, with pbo and image generation, i get on max settings constant more than 30fps 1080p... in modern AAA games...
I have two 1440p Ultra Wide monitors one for streaming chat and one for gameplay. I think my RTX 3080 12GB MSI Gaming X Trio and I7 10700K is just enough for this setup at least for a few more years
If you are considering a video card only for games, the RX 7700 XT will be more powerful and more profitable. And there is no point in taking the RTX 4060 ti.
Not only the amount of VRam is important but also its connection to the GPU. The current maximum is 384 bits. Particularly relevant for large textures.
Im a bit confused about the « usb power transmission » like the usb 3.1 gen 2 thing could you explain it please and how I know if I use it or not? Thanks for the video it gave a good start for what to check for on a replacement for my graphics card.
The hardest choice for me is to decide if I want more VRAM and with it longer life of the GPU + better Linux compatibility or the better RT performance.
8gb is dead, unless you like to lower textures to medium for no aparent reason. Gpu can handle it but vram is too low 😂 We got 8gb rx 470 in 2016 and it was way cheaper then current 60 class cards. 8gb in 2024 on $300 is joke
Honestly ive been rocking a 8gb Vram card for a year now and i cannot complain, its just in a few games where i cant run textures on the highest but i dont see any difference either way
if your pc budget is 500 - 600 you should get a 3070 or 2080 ti and pair it with a ryzen 5600 the gpu is around 200 - 300 used and the cpu is 90 quid but its really good for the price
It all depends on WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING to do with the card. For AI, you literally need 16gigs for normal usage. 12gigs and you'll be pretty tight. So no.
13:50 One of the best examples of CPUs in 4k resolution is the comparison of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. While the CPUs in Full HD are sometimes a good 30% apart, in 4k it is only 5-10%. Both CPUs have no problem to utilize a 4090 at 100% in 4k.
IMHO the example of an used 1080 / 1080 ti versus a brand new mid range card isn't a common case. That's an option for experienced PC builders that don't shy away from dismanteling graphic card coolers and replace thermal pads or even mount an after market air or water cooler. The more common choice is to buying a brand new mid range next gen card like a 4070 / 4070 ti or one of the last high end cards of the last gen like a 3080 or 3090. Usually the prices are mostly similiar and the high end cards offer more VRAM, while the new gen has better upscaling and raytracing.
bro what about those who do video editing, motion graphics(after effects) and 3d work like blender? rn I am confused between 4060 and 7700xt . or I should wait for march launch of new budget card launch? some saying their prices going to be higher...so confused
Decent advices! I want to add a few things. Advertising can be crazy. Before you bying anything ask yourself : do I really need that? If you play games what kind of games you play and what do they require. Some people might need only a iGPU because they don't play tripple AAA titles, others need more than that. Look at tests for the games you are playing as some games favour more amd and others nvidia. No need to put everyhing on ultra. There are guides for every game how to optimise it and squeez more fps (almost) without loosing quality so even with some budget cards you can enjoy a comfortable experience. Look at your driver options as sometimes they can solve you problems. As some people said: higher fps is good but stable fps is a must.
im still using gtx 750 ti 4gb since im runing the game 24/7 . for electric cost eficient, but now i plan to upgrade but still strugle to chose . any recomend?
The first card i bought for myself was a GTX TITAN X Pascal from 2017. It performs slightly better than the 1080 ti in benchmarks, but also has 12 GB VRAM as well. I bought it for around $160 around June 2023, and it served me very well. I could play Star wars Jedi: Survivor at max settings at 4k on my smart TV, which was only up to 30hz sadly, but some how the card could enable raytracing. The raytracing mainly just added the reflections in some surfaces, and slightly improved the lighting in some scenes, but it was running. Pretty solid card if you get one for a good price, or if you are wanting to build a 2016-2018 era PC.
I just bought an GTX 1080 since all ill be doing is playing indie games and others that don't require alot of power like league of legends i think ill keep it until its becomes non supported
Well bit rate amount l2 and l3 cache amount of RAM are all important but buying an older last gen video card should absolutely be considered in cost to performance decisions for example I was looking at the rtx 3070 and rtx 4070 and 7800xt and 7900 gre and I discovered with a little research that the rx 6800 non xt was all I needed for my 1440p gaming. On a side note the intel 7th through 10th gen are all the same architecture with few feature differences, but none that really makes the 14nm+++ series so if you are 7th through 10th your fine.
If you are looking to keep a GPU for an extended period then Nvidia has far superior driver support at the moment. 8gb of VRAM is plenty for most games if you are only playing 1440p. Lots of memory is pointless on weaker cards, it was worth it back in the days of SLi and Crossfire when you could make use of it.
Amd GPu aged better then greevida GPUs and vram is important for textures 12GB is struggling in,new titles forget about 8GB dont buy 8GB cards buy a 16GB vram for 1440p and 12 for 1080p
Got my first AMD gpu 7900 gre over the 4070 S. I'd never look AMD way because of listening to people talkin about how Nvidia is way better. No issue with the Gre & can play 4k 60fps on most games no upscale. in my area the GRE was 480 & the 4070 sueper was $600. AMD gpu's are not horrible like I was told so many times.
Great choice! It's just that people most often have a biased attitude towards what they haven't used, or have seen negative reviews from several people on the Internet and now think that all amd graphics cards have problems. However, this is not the case. AMD is now at Nvidia's level in many ways.
I agree with about AMD GPUs. I haven't bought a Nvidia since 2018, simply because i learned that year that AMD really do provide better price to performance. Also i don't need all the bells and whistles, and prefer the higher vRAM for high resolutions and smoother performance. But i acknowledge that Nvidia has the better tech under the hood, but they are milking their customers like fat pigs.
If you had a choice of getting an 8GB or 16GB GPU, why the deuce would you take less VRAM?....Especially if you want to game with all the eye candy dialled up?......Lol.....this video doesn't make sense.
You just answered your first argument, if Nvidia is creating new technologies, that means they are better. Which is to be expected after all they pour a lot of more economical resources in creating this new technologies, than AMD is doing. I am not against any of the companies, but the world is not a fair place, and those who have more wealth usually have much more to gain.
hey i have 1.2 k buget to build my first pc can you give me tips and in your opinon should i get amd or nvidia. you said it doesnt matter but what would you reccomend me for both a nivida build and amd buiild?
Price to performance is almost always AMD. First you should figure out what you want it to be able to do then it’s easier to select pieces based off that.
Older PC gamer here. Built my first computer back in 2003, now on my 4th one. My advise: don't go high-end with anything, unless you absolutely need it! Mid-tier will get you far, and the previous gen cards and CPUs will serve you well. REAL 1080p at rock solid 60fps will always look and feel better than AI upscaled "fake 4K" at jumpy framerates, plus you can much more easily (and cheaply) even gain those magical >100fps numbers in the e-sports and older titles. I literally upgraded from a 2011 era i7-2600K + 16GB DDR3, to this used AM4 B550-Pro + Ryzen 5 5600X + 32GB DDR4, for 250 euro bucks, this summer. Still packing the GTX 1060 6GB I bought used for 200€ back in 2017, and it more than gets the job done. Just recently beat the new Silent Hill 2's demake, a notoriously horribly optimized UE5 romp, and with just a few tweaks I still got ~75fps average. No DLSS on this card.
2:27 "But this is a feature (that) many gamers don't care about, or even use. Since it's very demanding, and butchers the performance---" Exactly why I've moved to AMD nowadays. Even more so 'cause of "---very demanding, and butchers the performance---"
@@artmanrom vram has 0 to do with textures unless the card was never manufactured with them ..I would say 8 gb is sufficient.. as I said before it's the individual needs.
@@evaone4286 the only time it effects textures is If the vram capacity is overloaded . But a 6 gb card compared to a 8 gb will perform the same within the threshold of game demands. ..so even a lower vram card with texture ability still provides textures up to a certain point of thar capacity ..so yes I guess you could say vram effects textures but it does depend on the demand of the game ..if a game only requires 4 gb vram and your comparing a 6 to an 8 there will be no difference because both cards aren't over max capacity .. different manufactured cards vary as well in textures..
Yes the consoles use 8 cores but they are zen 2 cores lol. Remember a 6 core 7600 (zen 4) will perform roughly on par with a 5700x3d which is far better than the 3700x equivalent on the consoles
Bought a rtx 4060 8 gb because 4060 ti 8 gb is a little bit better but still shit and 4060 ti 16 gb is also shit. So went with the shit that cost the least
As someone who bought a 4060ti 16gb I feel called out. Ive seen the reviews, the hate and the facts that proved that the 4060 and it's ti counterpart is a overpriced and underwhelming card. 😂 But in my use case im looking for the cheapest high vram nvidia card, I've been dabbling in local ai for the past couple of months and so far the 4060 ti 16gb has met my expectations.
I just built a budget gaming PC and went with the Radeon RX 6650 XT. Runs everything at high or extreme values, and I am getting >100fps @1080p on pretty much everything I play, with the lows being >70fps still. I have not tried Cyberpunk yet, that game seems to be this generation's Crysis. 😂
I think you're good. A good CPU helps, but Cyberpunk 2077 relies more on the GPU for graphics. Just turn off ray tracing and you'll be set. Using Radeon Boost with XeSS (Intel's upscaling tech) will also help improve performance without sacrificing much quality.
@jeke8413 it likely wont come up. I already have it and the DLC for PS5 lol I was having a longing for CounterStrike and the RTS games I have been missing for years.
i like to say so you only want to play games and dont like rt? go with AMD 100% so you want to do other stuff than gaming and want to use rt as much as possible? go with Nvidia 100% the ray tracing rule doesnt apply to any gou that's weaker than the 4070 super anything weaker than that just depends if you want to do editing or streaming if you only want to game go with amd if you want to stream and edit most of the time nvidia is better choice but not if youre fighting over like 4060 ti and 7700xt then 7700xt is better for just overall everything
Nice video Got a 7900xtx And it’s been very great l don’t use RT that much but for rasterised gaming it has been very good l had an rx6750xt so it was a big jump. This is my 5th pc build 😂
IF you are only measuring gaming, then yes AMD is comparable. But most people that can afford GPUs are not gonna only care for games. Nvidia beats AMD in Video editing, AI software development due to CUDA, and so on.
Take your time to find the best gpu for the budget you can afford. Don't get scared of the used market. Take your time, research by specs and performance/price ratio. If you can "only" afford that really cheap 1660ti with 6gb ddr6 you'll be able to play on it. I did and can't complain.
1: Nvidia is, in fact, significantly better than AMD in most aspects There is a reason AMD cards are cheaper: AMD drivers are notoriously bad, it's very common for the GPU to freeze randomly, just look at any AMD forum. They also are far less power efficient, meaning that in practice you will probably need to buy a better PSU as well, in the end paying more than the Nvidia equivalent. But the most important and by far most relevant problem is tha, AMD cards are almost worthless outside gaming. A common argument in favor of PC gaming is that PCs can do much more than gaming. The same applies to Nvidia. Nvidia is tremendously better at ray tracing, which means that for 3D rendering a low-end Nvidia GPU will do in minutes what a high end AMD gpu will take hours to complete. Nvidia is also massively superior when it comes to AI performance, so if you want to run Stable Diffusion, LLMs or train AI, AMD is worthless. The highest end AMD GPUs get demolished by the RTX 3050. To put it simply: AMD is cheaper for a reason. Ultimately, in general, it is precise to state Nvidia is overall better than AMD. 2: Newer is generally better Fair enough, this point is mostly true. 3: How much VRAM you need It has been repeatedly shown in benchmarks that the 4060 ti 16gb is significantly better than the 4060 ti 8 gb even at 1080p. In some games like dead space that the 4060 ti can easily run at ultra, the 8 gb version will choke and run the game at 20 fps, while the 16gb version will run it at 100 fps. This is at 1080p, not 4k. It's also been shown in some benchmarks that the 16gb version can match and possibly outperform even the 4070 at 4k due to the 4070's 12 GB spilling into RAM. Furthermore, frame generation requires a good deal of VRAM, meaning that the 16 gb version can easily use frame generation to achieve superior performance at 1440p or above, while the 8 gb version will struggle to use that feature even at 1080p. And that's just today. Imagine down the line. The 7700xt would be great, sure, if it weren't useless outside of gaming. Sure, you get some ~10 extra frames in a few games, but you will also probably spend more on a power supply, and you give up AI and many creation pipelines like Blender. Currently, the 4060 ti 16 gb is the cheapest 16 gb GPU that can do all of those things, making it the best GPU for creators by far. The next best one is the 4070 ti super, which is significantly more expensive. So, to put it simply: yes, a card with more VRAM will offer better lows and more FPS even at 1080p today. In the future that will only be more significant. It's the difference between running a game that your GPU has enough raw power to run at 100 fps versus running it at 20 fps. 4: Don't pay more for OC and extra fans Good point, except it mainly applies to Nvidia cards. That's right, this is only really true for Nvidia. With Nvidia cards, the cards fall under such a precise specification that the different versions will perform similarly, but AMD is more lax and the performance can vary a lot more between these different models of the same card. For Nvidia the performance difference is within ~2 percent, while AMD can vary much more. The rest is good.
I used to have a Gaming laptop it had a 4050 which sadly only had 6gb of VRAM and at the time I liked playing Minecraft and roblox I don’t really play any demanding games so the 4050 was decent for me and with the i7 13620H and some optimizations I was able to get 3000 fps on minecraft on a single player world and in roblox i get a consistent 240 fps recently that laptop had some overheating problems and had a bsod then the screen kept on bugging out so I got a refund then brought a desktop with a r5 5500 and a 4060 which is really good way better than the 4050 so I don’t understand why people are complaining about dedicated gpus it’s really sufficient for me and some people only have integrated graphics
Hmm, in my opinion, these are the general guidelines: - Nvidia vs AMD: Just get Nvidia. In order to not run out of space, I'll spare you the long list of reasons for doing so. The only exception is probably 7800XT > 4060Ti, and even then it's not as clear-cut as people think it is. - New vs second-hand: If a 3060 is half the price of a 4060, go for it. Avoid flagships. Avoid GPUs that have mined crypto for more than a year. - How much VRAM? General rule of thumb for newer AAA games is 1080p >= 8GB, 1440p >= 12GB, 4K >= 16GB. - Coolers/Versions: Check reviews. For example, ASUS 4060 Dual is cooler and quieter than many 3-fan versions, even though it's tiny. - Specifications: Check reviews. Spec sheets are mostly relevant to developers, not to gamers. - Power supply: Get a Corsair RM650x. For thirsty gpus with TDP >= 300W, get a RM850x. On Nvidia cards, you can decrease TDP by a lot while losing very little performance. - CPU vs GPU: Saying "1080p is more CPU-heavy" can be confusing. It has more to do with your desired refresh rate rather than resolution. For 60fps, cheapest 6-core AM5 CPU (e.g. 7500F) is fine. Avoid 8xxxG, cause they miss pcie lanes. Avoid Intel because they suck. If you want 144/165/240/etc in AAA games, and money is a non-issue, get a 7800X3D, dual tower, and a motherboard with 16+ phases.
I do not fully agree with the point 'Don't overpay for the sam card', consider this an opinion based on limited experience of basic user. I lean towards buying better verions of cards (example Sapphire NITRO+) over the regular versions. The reason behind is similar to what you mentioned. You pay extra for better cooling and maybe higher clocks. Which may be good thing. I am not obsessed with quiet builds but when i had RX 580 from MSI it was a terrible experience, the card was so loud that it was disturbing me during gaming and i use big headphones. I cannot hear my Sapphire R9 380x nitro nor Sapphire 7900xt nitro. They are quieter than CPU cooler/Case fans. So i woud say it depends.
The statement should be more specific. "Because Radeon cards already lead in price to performance, up-selling yourself on better cooling is viable. Nvidia cards at the low to mid range are so stingy on the performance that literally the only decent price to performance picks are the ones stripped of all extras." 😅
Choosing a card on the fake frame generation technology it uses is dumb. Bus, raw power is all that matter, with Wattage, for some users who doesn't want their E-bill to push them into poverty
well the GPU part has many parts wrong. NVIDIA wasn't the first to put ray tracing nor frame generation but was the first company to get game developers to support their hardware for it. They both existed in the 1990s with real time ray tracing just "real time" meant 20 fps back then. For what GPU is best for you? nViida AMD Intel or Qualcomm? look at reviews for the games you play as none of the 4 are always on top. For the CPU right now you have AMD and Intel for x86 which most consumer software runs on then quallcomm and Apple for ARM CPUs that you will need a different version of the same software for. Most likely if you are on a windows machine you have x86 and either AMD or Intel. Which you pick doesn't really matter much thugh if you want every frame in a game the AMD X3D chips are better than the Intel chips. For system RAM most likely the CPU will support DDR5. Make sure it is UDIMM not CUDIMM otherwise nothing really matters. The reason why is CUDIMMs do not work will if at all with UDIMM controlelrs while CUDIMM controllers can work with both UDIMM and CUDIMM RAM. For the storage drive right now 1TB of M.2 PCIe storage is good and most will not need more than 1TB of local storage. If you do you will know thus why the SATA ports on the motherboard exist for you to add in more internal storage. For the motehrboard make sure all the above parts are compatable with it then add up the number of USB ports you need add 2 for just in case you need more in the future, make sure it has wired networking most should have at least 10/100/1000 some newer ones with faster networking, and find out the form factor of it. For the case get one you think looks nice as it is what you will be looking at for the life of the computer. Having at least 2 USB Type-A ports and a power button on the top is always nice. Make sure what the case is supports the motherboard you chose and make sure the GPU you chose fits into the case including the room for the power plugs so a little more depth then you would think. For the PSU make sure it can power everything above and is the correct size for the case you chose. Looking at the power curve for where the best power draw is is nice but not needed. Get 1 that has 80+ on it doesn't really matter which one it is as long as it is one of them. One you have all that stuff picked out then start compromising to go down in price to what you can afford. The only part I will say to never compromise on is the power supply as if it blows everything goes with it. You can always upgrade later so having the best at the start most likely will just add on more cost but still be reasonable for what you need.
I had an AMD and switched to NVIDIA, and in my experience NVIDIA is way better, drivers and software, features, energy efficiency, etc. Truly a game changer, I would not recommend AMD to anyone.
@@Craftnite I had the RX580 (8gb) and got a RTX2060 (6gb) for 1080p gaming. I would not recommend amd because of the horrible energy and thermal efficiency compared to Nvidia, I also had a lot of problems with the amd drivers (rdr2 didn't run because it required some specific version when I already had the latest one). The experience with the Nvidia drivers feel "premium" the app is better, you have the filters, rtx, etc. You can see 1:44 amd consumes about 80W more while doing the same fps
back 10 years ago after one of my gpu got busted I got a new one because my budget is low I got the AMD instead and it didn't last long. I got another AMD again the same issue. Finally I switch back to Nvidia ya I had to fork out extra money but it last me for many many years so I never go back to AMD cause that fear is still there. Until now my 1060 6Gig still serve me well

"Here are some budget GPUs"
(The cheapest being 400€/~$450)
Y'all either never knew or have forgot about what "budget option" actually is.
Getting older sucks... Because I can remember actual budget performance bargains like the GTX260 Core 216 launching for like $250-300 and the 9600GT for like $175. You could actually play DirectX 10 games on them if you had a decent multi core CPU.
@haiwin224
In the future you'll have to change gpu every few years anyway so why pay at least $500 every now and then when you can go half that for more than decent experience.
@@LoneWolf-je9vr You don't understand. In 2008 a customer paid $250-300 for a full featured upper midrange card. The GTX 260 Core 216 was the equivalent of a RTX 4070 Ti Super in terms of performance and placement in Nvidia's product stack in that period. For new DX10 titles like Crysis, Far Cry 2, and Supreme Commander the GTX 260 Core 216 was a great card. There is zero reason the modern equivalent upper midrange card costs $800 when in 2008 it cost $300. $300 in 2008 adjusted for inflation is about $440. Nvidia is ripping everyone off not because their costs have gone up, but rather because they know that people will pay outrageous prices for that performance.
You can look from another perspective.
Consider the transistor, density, process size, and die size. The process and die size is getting smaller while packing a whole lot transistor and density. This is just exactly like an itx thingy. You get an itx tax in gpu form .
Another easier way to interpret : this is just abstract imagination. Imagine 1000 kg of steel = 1000 of 1 kg steel. The latter will be sold with higher price because you need to consider the energy and cost to cut those into tiny pieces of 1 kg into 1000 of them. And if those action need to add up the profit, it'll add up to the end user price. Probably that's the gist nvidia tax
@@Crunchy-XG I doubt materials cost and lower nanometer processes have increased material and manufacturing costs 200%. Is it more expensive to make more efficient and powerful chips? Sure. I don't think it is 2x more expensive. Even if they are using 200% more materials per GPU PC gaming getting more mainstream would lead to lower cost of raw materials and finished products due to economies of scale. Back when I graduated High School and bought a GTX 260 Core 216 PC gaming was still relatively niche. I knew plenty of my classmates who gamed. Just 90% of them were on console. There was no Twitch. There was not really a lot of PC centered channels on TH-cam. Now gaming on PC is mainstream. I don't buy that Nvidia is taking it in the shorts on the high cost of producing GPUs. I don't believe that they have to charge outrageous prices to their customers. I do believe they have jacked up prices to get max return on each unit sold to keep the shareholders happy.
I just recently bought a 4060 and I got ROASTED hard online, and this video really helped in settling my mind, I am upgrading from an rx550 card and so far the rtx 4060 has served me well
Rtx 4060 is really solid
The RTX 4060 is a good card for 1080p. It was criticized too much because of the amount of memory and 128-bit bus. However, if you look at the actual performance, it is more often than not faster than 3060. Perhaps in the future, due to the amount of memory, you will have to reduce the quality of textures, but for another 1-2 years it will run all games at high settings.

As a person who does benchmarks, I want to warn everyone who after this video wanted to buy an RTX 4060. First and most importantly, this card has already not enough video memory for ultra textures at 1080p in some modern games. For example, the game horizon forbidden west takes about an hour or two for the memory to fill up and start transferring it into RAM. The glorified frame generation, which only worsens the situation in case of memory shortage lack. Despite the fact that the 3060 is weaker than the 4060 (when 4060 has enough VRAM) I would still give it preference if you find it used, an ordinary user will have fewer problems with it. On it, you can play new AAA gaming in 2K without any problems, with ultra textures and DLSS. If the game allows you to enable frame generation from AMD along with DLSS it is even better, there the 4060 would have long ago choked. No matter what anyone says, a card with a 128 bus and 8 gigabytes of memory has no right to be called higher than 4050 in 2024.
By the way, I didn't say in the video that you need to buy the RTX 4060 instead of the 3060. I said that the characteristics can be deceiving. Without a doubt, real 12 GB is better than 8 GB and 4 GB is not compensated by increased cache memory and new architecture. At certain settings, the 4060 can lose to the 3060, set it to 1440p and ultra textures and the 4060 will lose.
And it seems strange to me to set unrealistic settings for
these video cards. In fact, these are mid-entry-level video cards, why include ultra textures on them? To "enjoy" 30 FPS?
@@livegamesii Actual textures don't have a substantial hit on performance, just on VRAM. If you have a 16gb-20gb GPU, you will basically get the same performance with low textures and ultra textures, it's just that ultra textures use more VRAM.
These mid-entry-level video cards can enjoy ultra textures at 60fps if their VRAM and bus width would allow them to.
With a 12gb 3060 you can set other game settings (that affect actual GPU performance) to medium or high in order to achieve a solid 60fps and then crank textures to ultra which will help with image quality. The performance impact will be small or non-existant because textures only need VRAM and bandwidth.
@@livegamesii I completely agree with you, I personally have never owned a console. And I will always choose lower graphics and textures in order to get 60 fps.
I went from a GTX 1050 2GB to a RTX 3050 8GB, It was a nice upgrade for me, I'm still using my same CPU, Ryzen 5 2600. It's good for most games that I play, I'm grateful for the upgrade, and ofc, different countries and currencies exists sooo yea.

If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard, power supply, CPU, Case, Cooling and RAM.
You can compromise on the price of the GPU, because that's the component that is easy to replace and next gen will always offer a better performance. Replacing the GPU with a better one is much easier if the power supply and CPU haven been choosen with future upgrades in mind.
It's not unusual to replace the GPU 2 - 3 times with a new gen card before having the need to replace the CPU and RAM (and the mainboard). A good high end power supply can even last 10 years or more. Also a good case with filters at the air intakes reduces the aging of components like PSUs and CPU coolers by reducing dust and dirt inside the case.
Regards : If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard. Go AMD AM5 and you have years to get better CPU with same MB. Get a good PS and you can expand for 5 years both CPU and GPU. Picking a GPU is always a challange as there is so much hype and misinformation floating aroud. Some hate AMD for all the youtube scammers and AMD hype. Others hate NVIDA for insane pricing. Look at what NVIDA just brought to the makret.

About vram: I'm using a 3070, which has 8GB of vram. Can play every game at 60+ fps in 4K medium-high

@illianias well I don't think this is bullshit since I am playing games at 60fps, idk why our benchmarks differ
More VRAM isn't always wasted on mid range cards, especially if you want to play older games with graphic mods.
about the VRAM, It also depends on your usage, if you are playing 1080p, but at the same time you want to stream on YT/Twitch, get more then 8 GB of VRAM + 8 GB won't be enough in ca 3 yrs if the trend continues

GPU is NVIDIA
CPU is AMD.
Nah, me getting the rtx 3080 was the last time getting an nvidia card. Despite all the PR behind raytracing, it's a performance hog, doesn't add much and decreases frames too much, having to depend on DLSS 2, which makes the visuals bad. So much for a flagship Nvidia card
They already abandoned 30 series cards in terms of features like DLSS 3.
youre really wanting people to get a 8GB VRAM than a 16GB VRAM?
You didn't understand the point of the video, watch it again. you need to take a card that matches its vram capacity in terms of power. for example, there is an rtx 4060 ti which has 16 GB and for this card this is an excessive amount of memory, but the RX 7700 XT for the same money has 12 GB and is more powerful in raster graphics - it is more preferable and balanced.
I saw a RX 580 tested with 8GB vs 16GB.
No res/setting that used more than 8GB ran well - the card isn't powerful enough for any use that uses the extra VRAM.
@ black ops 6 uses around 13 to 14 GB of VRAM on 1440 extreme settings.
What budget cpu should i pair with my gpu 3060ti for better 1080p AAA games performce? I currently have r5 4650g and it feels like its not enough
Try a 7 3700x . Assuming that is a am 4 socket . Gives you 8 cores 16 threads at 4.4 ghz should be plenty for that gpu .
vram can make a huge difference... have a poc 400$ console, ryzen 5 8600G with 32gb ram, uses 10gb for the igpu, with pbo and image generation, i get on max settings constant more than 30fps 1080p... in modern AAA games...

8gb is dead, unless you like to lower textures to medium for no aparent reason. Gpu can handle it but vram is too low 😂 We got 8gb rx 470 in 2016 and it was way cheaper then current 60 class cards. 8gb in 2024 on $300 is joke

13:50 One of the best examples of CPUs in 4k resolution is the comparison of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. While the CPUs in Full HD are sometimes a good 30% apart, in 4k it is only 5-10%. Both CPUs have no problem to utilize a 4090 at 100% in 4k.
Nice very infromative tnx...
IMHO the example of an used 1080 / 1080 ti versus a brand new mid range card isn't a common case. That's an option for experienced PC builders that don't shy away from dismanteling graphic card coolers and replace thermal pads or even mount an after market air or water cooler.
The more common choice is to buying a brand new mid range next gen card like a 4070 / 4070 ti or one of the last high end cards of the last gen like a 3080 or 3090. Usually the prices are mostly similiar and the high end cards offer more VRAM, while the new gen has better upscaling and raytracing.

Decent advices! I want to add a few things. Advertising can be crazy. Before you bying anything ask yourself : do I really need that? If you play games what kind of games you play and what do they require. Some people might need only a iGPU because they don't play tripple AAA titles, others need more than that. Look at tests for the games you are playing as some games favour more amd and others nvidia. No need to put everyhing on ultra. There are guides for every game how to optimise it and squeez more fps (almost) without loosing quality so even with some budget cards you can enjoy a comfortable experience. Look at your driver options as sometimes they can solve you problems. As some people said: higher fps is good but stable fps is a must.
im still using gtx 750 ti 4gb since im runing the game 24/7 . for electric cost eficient, but now i plan to upgrade but still strugle to chose . any recomend?
Power wise 4060 its a solid choice. 4070 if you have more cash and need better than 1080 gaming.
The first card i bought for myself was a GTX TITAN X Pascal from 2017. It performs slightly better than the 1080 ti in benchmarks, but also has 12 GB VRAM as well. I bought it for around $160 around June 2023, and it served me very well. I could play Star wars Jedi: Survivor at max settings at 4k on my smart TV, which was only up to 30hz sadly, but some how the card could enable raytracing. The raytracing mainly just added the reflections in some surfaces, and slightly improved the lighting in some scenes, but it was running. Pretty solid card if you get one for a good price, or if you are wanting to build a 2016-2018 era PC.
For this money, a great graphics card!👍

@evaone4286 nah the i5 13600k imma buy is gonna be over kill but the black friday deal makes it so cheap cant pass it up
Fps per dollar means nothing if it has constant stutters and crashes , nvidia is more optimised than amd
I upgraded from 3060ti to an 7800xt best decision ever
#1 Depends on the application. If you want to render scenes with Iray in DAZ Studio, Nvidia is the ONLY way to go. An AMD card wouldn't work.
Well bit rate amount l2 and l3 cache amount of RAM are all important but buying an older last gen video card should absolutely be considered in cost to performance decisions for example I was looking at the rtx 3070 and rtx 4070 and 7800xt and 7900 gre and I discovered with a little research that the rx 6800 non xt was all I needed for my 1440p gaming.
On a side note the intel 7th through 10th gen are all the same architecture with few feature differences, but none that really makes the 14nm+++ series so if you are 7th through 10th your fine.
Thanks for your nice and detailed explanation.
If you are looking to keep a GPU for an extended period then Nvidia has far superior driver support at the moment. 8gb of VRAM is plenty for most games if you are only playing 1440p. Lots of memory is pointless on weaker cards, it was worth it back in the days of SLi and Crossfire when you could make use of it.
Believe me amd are fine don't believe the hype around nvidia cards 16gb amd beats 8 or even 12gb nvidia.
Amd GPu aged better then greevida GPUs and vram is important for textures 12GB is struggling in,new titles forget about 8GB dont buy 8GB cards buy a 16GB vram for 1440p and 12 for 1080p
The thing is sometimes there can be a problem when using dlss and ray tracing at the same time, so yes if you don’t care about ray tracing go for AMD
Got my first AMD gpu 7900 gre over the 4070 S. I'd never look AMD way because of listening to people talkin about how Nvidia is way better. No issue with the Gre & can play 4k 60fps on most games no upscale. in my area the GRE was 480 & the 4070 sueper was $600. AMD gpu's are not horrible like I was told so many times.
Great choice! It's just that people most often have a biased attitude towards what they haven't used, or have seen negative reviews from several people on the Internet and now think that all amd graphics cards have problems. However, this is not the case. AMD is now at Nvidia's level in many ways.
It can exceed 3 Ghz on core ? Of course not because of mistkes in engeneering 😂😂😂
Nvidia is very far ahead of amd. AMD will never catch up to nvidia even if amd slashes prices by 75%
I agree with about AMD GPUs. I haven't bought a Nvidia since 2018, simply because i learned that year that AMD really do provide better price to performance. Also i don't need all the bells and whistles, and prefer the higher vRAM for high resolutions and smoother performance. But i acknowledge that Nvidia has the better tech under the hood, but they are milking their customers like fat pigs.
In general, it’s true, in terms of price/performance ratio - AMD is better.
vRAM is for hi rez textures...
If you had a choice of getting an 8GB or 16GB GPU, why the deuce would you take less VRAM?....Especially if you want to game with all the eye candy dialled up?......Lol.....this video doesn't make sense.
most of the times amd>>>>nvidia
That's just wrong. The only reason AMD's GPU division still exists is very high GPU demand and anti-monopoly laws.
You just answered your first argument, if Nvidia is creating new technologies, that means they are better. Which is to be expected after all they pour a lot of more economical resources in creating this new technologies, than AMD is doing. I am not against any of the companies, but the world is not a fair place, and those who have more wealth usually have much more to gain.
but what about nvec , better for video editors , you should say that only for gamers , not for all people
hey i have 1.2 k buget to build my first pc can you give me tips and in your opinon should i get amd or nvidia. you said it doesnt matter but what would you reccomend me for both a nivida build and amd buiild?
Price to performance is almost always AMD. First you should figure out what you want it to be able to do then it’s easier to select pieces based off that.
get the 4060 the best 4k gpu
Nope not even a proper 1440p gpu@@anonymousgaming5725
Depends, what are you gonna use it for? Just gaming?
Older PC gamer here. Built my first computer back in 2003, now on my 4th one.
My advise: don't go high-end with anything, unless you absolutely need it! Mid-tier will get you far, and the previous gen cards and CPUs will serve you well.
REAL 1080p at rock solid 60fps will always look and feel better than AI upscaled "fake 4K" at jumpy framerates, plus you can much more easily (and cheaply) even gain those magical >100fps numbers in the e-sports and older titles.
I literally upgraded from a 2011 era i7-2600K + 16GB DDR3, to this used AM4 B550-Pro + Ryzen 5 5600X + 32GB DDR4, for 250 euro bucks, this summer. Still packing the GTX 1060 6GB I bought used for 200€ back in 2017, and it more than gets the job done. Just recently beat the new Silent Hill 2's demake, a notoriously horribly optimized UE5 romp, and with just a few tweaks I still got ~75fps average. No DLSS on this card.

"But this is a feature (that) many gamers don't care about, or even use. Since it's very demanding, and butchers the performance---"
Exactly why I've moved to AMD nowadays. Even more so 'cause of "---very demanding, and butchers the performance---"
8gb cards cant run anything now days. Stop advertising crap.
With muddy textures. LOL
@@artmanrom vram has 0 to do with textures unless the card was never manufactured with them ..I would say 8 gb is sufficient.. as I said before it's the individual needs.
@@mhaden-k8zvram does affect texture quality. Not sure what you mean
@@evaone4286 the only time it effects textures is If the vram capacity is overloaded . But a 6 gb card compared to a 8 gb will perform the same within the threshold of game demands. ..so even a lower vram card with texture ability still provides textures up to a certain point of thar capacity ..so yes I guess you could say vram effects textures but it does depend on the demand of the game ..if a game only requires 4 gb vram and your comparing a 6 to an 8 there will be no difference because both cards aren't over max capacity .. different manufactured cards vary as well in textures..
Yes the consoles use 8 cores but they are zen 2 cores lol. Remember a 6 core 7600 (zen 4) will perform roughly on par with a 5700x3d which is far better than the 3700x equivalent on the consoles
Radeon are hungry for electricity.
8 bg is not enough anymore, lets be real.
Recording in 4K while playing in 4K and streaming all at same time , and video rendering nvidia destroys it , u only compare gaming
I wish NVIDIA make 4060 super with 10gb VRAM.. lol
It’s unlikely that they will do this, since the RTX 50 is on the way. And Nvidia needs to somehow sell the RTX 5060 with 8 GB😂
@@livegamesii haha, ... well 2025 and still using 8gb.. good thing 50s are new architecture
Bought a rtx 4060 8 gb because 4060 ti 8 gb is a little bit better but still shit and 4060 ti 16 gb is also shit. So went with the shit that cost the least
🤣ahah, congratulations on your purchase
And subscribe to the channel, there will be a lot of interesting videos about video cards and processors 🙂
If you could not get 4070/s but didn't wanted 4060ti then should have got 7700xt😊
As someone who bought a 4060ti 16gb I feel called out. Ive seen the reviews, the hate and the facts that proved that the 4060 and it's ti counterpart is a overpriced and underwhelming card. 😂 But in my use case im looking for the cheapest high vram nvidia card, I've been dabbling in local ai for the past couple of months and so far the 4060 ti 16gb has met my expectations.
I just built a budget gaming PC and went with the Radeon RX 6650 XT.
Runs everything at high or extreme values, and I am getting >100fps @1080p on pretty much everything I play, with the lows being >70fps still.
I have not tried Cyberpunk yet, that game seems to be this generation's Crysis. 😂
I think you're good. A good CPU helps, but Cyberpunk 2077 relies more on the GPU for graphics. Just turn off ray tracing and you'll be set. Using Radeon Boost with XeSS (Intel's upscaling tech) will also help improve performance without sacrificing much quality.
@jeke8413 it likely wont come up. I already have it and the DLC for PS5 lol
I was having a longing for CounterStrike and the RTS games I have been missing for years.
i like to say
so you only want to play games and dont like rt? go with AMD 100%
so you want to do other stuff than gaming and want to use rt as much as possible? go with Nvidia 100%
the ray tracing rule doesnt apply to any gou that's weaker than the 4070 super anything weaker than that just depends if you want to do editing or streaming if you only want to game go with amd if you want to stream and edit most of the time nvidia is better choice but not if youre fighting over like 4060 ti and 7700xt then 7700xt is better for just overall everything
1337 (LEET) video length!!
Space marine 2 need 6gb vram minimum, rtx 3050 can't run it meanwhile rx580 can
Don't be stupid
Try having 12gb vram minimum
Splitted the categories for pc parts when explaining earned you a like bro. Nice 🤌
Always check TH-cam before buying anything and look for the games you play the most and is most suitable for you thats it
yes, that's right
Rx 7700 xt or 4060 ti 8gb
He literally answered this
7700xt
Nice video
Got a 7900xtx
And it’s been very great
l don’t use RT that much but for rasterised gaming it has been very good
l had an rx6750xt so it was a big jump.
This is my 5th pc build 😂
Thank you! I'm glad you liked my video :) Subscribe to the channel, there will be many interesting videos about PC hardware🙂
My RX 7900XTX runs many RT games well (at med rt settings). Keeps up with one gen older NV cards.
IF you are only measuring gaming, then yes AMD is comparable. But most people that can afford GPUs are not gonna only care for games. Nvidia beats AMD in Video editing, AI software development due to CUDA, and so on.
Take your time to find the best gpu for the budget you can afford. Don't get scared of the used market. Take your time, research by specs and performance/price ratio. If you can "only" afford that really cheap 1660ti with 6gb ddr6 you'll be able to play on it. I did and can't complain.
1: Nvidia is, in fact, significantly better than AMD in most aspects
There is a reason AMD cards are cheaper: AMD drivers are notoriously bad, it's very common for the GPU to freeze randomly, just look at any AMD forum. They also are far less power efficient, meaning that in practice you will probably need to buy a better PSU as well, in the end paying more than the Nvidia equivalent. But the most important and by far most relevant problem is tha, AMD cards are almost worthless outside gaming. A common argument in favor of PC gaming is that PCs can do much more than gaming. The same applies to Nvidia. Nvidia is tremendously better at ray tracing, which means that for 3D rendering a low-end Nvidia GPU will do in minutes what a high end AMD gpu will take hours to complete. Nvidia is also massively superior when it comes to AI performance, so if you want to run Stable Diffusion, LLMs or train AI, AMD is worthless. The highest end AMD GPUs get demolished by the RTX 3050. To put it simply: AMD is cheaper for a reason.
Ultimately, in general, it is precise to state Nvidia is overall better than AMD.
2: Newer is generally better
Fair enough, this point is mostly true.
3: How much VRAM you need
It has been repeatedly shown in benchmarks that the 4060 ti 16gb is significantly better than the 4060 ti 8 gb even at 1080p. In some games like dead space that the 4060 ti can easily run at ultra, the 8 gb version will choke and run the game at 20 fps, while the 16gb version will run it at 100 fps. This is at 1080p, not 4k. It's also been shown in some benchmarks that the 16gb version can match and possibly outperform even the 4070 at 4k due to the 4070's 12 GB spilling into RAM. Furthermore, frame generation requires a good deal of VRAM, meaning that the 16 gb version can easily use frame generation to achieve superior performance at 1440p or above, while the 8 gb version will struggle to use that feature even at 1080p. And that's just today. Imagine down the line. The 7700xt would be great, sure, if it weren't useless outside of gaming. Sure, you get some ~10 extra frames in a few games, but you will also probably spend more on a power supply, and you give up AI and many creation pipelines like Blender. Currently, the 4060 ti 16 gb is the cheapest 16 gb GPU that can do all of those things, making it the best GPU for creators by far. The next best one is the 4070 ti super, which is significantly more expensive.
So, to put it simply: yes, a card with more VRAM will offer better lows and more FPS even at 1080p today. In the future that will only be more significant. It's the difference between running a game that your GPU has enough raw power to run at 100 fps versus running it at 20 fps.
4: Don't pay more for OC and extra fans
Good point, except it mainly applies to Nvidia cards. That's right, this is only really true for Nvidia. With Nvidia cards, the cards fall under such a precise specification that the different versions will perform similarly, but AMD is more lax and the performance can vary a lot more between these different models of the same card. For Nvidia the performance difference is within ~2 percent, while AMD can vary much more.
The rest is good.
I used to have a Gaming laptop it had a 4050 which sadly only had 6gb of VRAM and at the time I liked playing Minecraft and roblox I don’t really play any demanding games so the 4050 was decent for me and with the i7 13620H and some optimizations I was able to get 3000 fps on minecraft on a single player world and in roblox i get a consistent 240 fps recently that laptop had some overheating problems and had a bsod then the screen kept on bugging out so I got a refund then brought a desktop with a r5 5500 and a 4060 which is really good way better than the 4050 so I don’t understand why people are complaining about dedicated gpus it’s really sufficient for me and some people only have integrated graphics
Nice work 👌
Dont show this video to Userbenchmark. He will say: How dare u can support Amd.
i did a upgrade from integrated 2nd gen gpu to a 6600 soo goooood!!!
i now daily drive a 7800xt with a 7600x and ive been loving my decision i got a nitro+ OC for 50 euros cheaper than the "normal" 7800xts
Hmm, in my opinion, these are the general guidelines:
- Nvidia vs AMD: Just get Nvidia. In order to not run out of space, I'll spare you the long list of reasons for doing so. The only exception is probably 7800XT > 4060Ti, and even then it's not as clear-cut as people think it is.
- New vs second-hand: If a 3060 is half the price of a 4060, go for it. Avoid flagships. Avoid GPUs that have mined crypto for more than a year.
- How much VRAM? General rule of thumb for newer AAA games is 1080p >= 8GB, 1440p >= 12GB, 4K >= 16GB.
- Coolers/Versions: Check reviews. For example, ASUS 4060 Dual is cooler and quieter than many 3-fan versions, even though it's tiny.
- Specifications: Check reviews. Spec sheets are mostly relevant to developers, not to gamers.
- Power supply: Get a Corsair RM650x. For thirsty gpus with TDP >= 300W, get a RM850x. On Nvidia cards, you can decrease TDP by a lot while losing very little performance.
- CPU vs GPU: Saying "1080p is more CPU-heavy" can be confusing. It has more to do with your desired refresh rate rather than resolution. For 60fps, cheapest 6-core AM5 CPU (e.g. 7500F) is fine. Avoid 8xxxG, cause they miss pcie lanes. Avoid Intel because they suck. If you want 144/165/240/etc in AAA games, and money is a non-issue, get a 7800X3D, dual tower, and a motherboard with 16+ phases.
Sure clown tower that suck up GPU heat. Custom loop or AIO only...
I do not fully agree with the point 'Don't overpay for the sam card', consider this an opinion based on limited experience of basic user. I lean towards buying better verions of cards (example Sapphire NITRO+) over the regular versions. The reason behind is similar to what you mentioned. You pay extra for better cooling and maybe higher clocks. Which may be good thing. I am not obsessed with quiet builds but when i had RX 580 from MSI it was a terrible experience, the card was so loud that it was disturbing me during gaming and i use big headphones. I cannot hear my Sapphire R9 380x nitro nor Sapphire 7900xt nitro. They are quieter than CPU cooler/Case fans. So i woud say it depends.
The statement should be more specific.
"Because Radeon cards already lead in price to performance, up-selling yourself on better cooling is viable. Nvidia cards at the low to mid range are so stingy on the performance that literally the only decent price to performance picks are the ones stripped of all extras."
😅
Choosing a card on the fake frame generation technology it uses is dumb.
Bus, raw power is all that matter, with Wattage, for some users who doesn't want their E-bill to push them into poverty
well the GPU part has many parts wrong. NVIDIA wasn't the first to put ray tracing nor frame generation but was the first company to get game developers to support their hardware for it. They both existed in the 1990s with real time ray tracing just "real time" meant 20 fps back then.
For what GPU is best for you? nViida AMD Intel or Qualcomm? look at reviews for the games you play as none of the 4 are always on top.
For the CPU right now you have AMD and Intel for x86 which most consumer software runs on then quallcomm and Apple for ARM CPUs that you will need a different version of the same software for. Most likely if you are on a windows machine you have x86 and either AMD or Intel. Which you pick doesn't really matter much thugh if you want every frame in a game the AMD X3D chips are better than the Intel chips.
For system RAM most likely the CPU will support DDR5. Make sure it is UDIMM not CUDIMM otherwise nothing really matters. The reason why is CUDIMMs do not work will if at all with UDIMM controlelrs while CUDIMM controllers can work with both UDIMM and CUDIMM RAM.
For the storage drive right now 1TB of M.2 PCIe storage is good and most will not need more than 1TB of local storage. If you do you will know thus why the SATA ports on the motherboard exist for you to add in more internal storage.
For the motehrboard make sure all the above parts are compatable with it then add up the number of USB ports you need add 2 for just in case you need more in the future, make sure it has wired networking most should have at least 10/100/1000 some newer ones with faster networking, and find out the form factor of it.
For the case get one you think looks nice as it is what you will be looking at for the life of the computer. Having at least 2 USB Type-A ports and a power button on the top is always nice. Make sure what the case is supports the motherboard you chose and make sure the GPU you chose fits into the case including the room for the power plugs so a little more depth then you would think.
For the PSU make sure it can power everything above and is the correct size for the case you chose. Looking at the power curve for where the best power draw is is nice but not needed. Get 1 that has 80+ on it doesn't really matter which one it is as long as it is one of them.
One you have all that stuff picked out then start compromising to go down in price to what you can afford. The only part I will say to never compromise on is the power supply as if it blows everything goes with it. You can always upgrade later so having the best at the start most likely will just add on more cost but still be reasonable for what you need.
I had an AMD and switched to NVIDIA, and in my experience NVIDIA is way better, drivers and software, features, energy efficiency, etc. Truly a game changer, I would not recommend AMD to anyone.
why not? what amd gpu did you have?
@@Craftnite I had the RX580 (8gb) and got a RTX2060 (6gb) for 1080p gaming. I would not recommend amd because of the horrible energy and thermal efficiency compared to Nvidia, I also had a lot of problems with the amd drivers (rdr2 didn't run because it required some specific version when I already had the latest one). The experience with the Nvidia drivers feel "premium" the app is better, you have the filters, rtx, etc.
You can see 1:44 amd consumes about 80W more while doing the same fps
back 10 years ago after one of my gpu got busted I got a new one because my budget is low I got the AMD instead and it didn't last long. I got another AMD again the same issue. Finally I switch back to Nvidia ya I had to fork out extra money but it last me for many many years so I never go back to AMD cause that fear is still there. Until now my 1060 6Gig still serve me well
nvidia is better in features and the drivers are way more stable. its a much better experience in general.
