Kisai 05/14/22 6:07:34 AM #5:	megamanfreakXD posted... Can you put a list of your build and the gpu you bought? I tried to find this out before posting, just in case I was asked. And this is the best info I could come up with. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 4095MB CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.8GHz Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-D3H RAM: 8192MB PSU: ???? I wanted to try and get something I can run current games at max settings and mods with, and primarily something that can do VR stuff. And copying and pasting what I got... GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6900 XT GAMING OC Video Card, GV-R69XTGAMING OC-16GD. (I'm gonna assume that everything after "XT" is irrelevent and doesn't need to be added...) My current PC was the first actual "build" that I bought parts for 10 years ago, having someone else put it together for me. I did it since I heard you can save a lot of money this way and get something more powerful. --- WHO MODS THE MODERATORS? <cite>Kisai posted [p:965026001] in Anyone kno...

Hornezz 05/14/22 6:36:59 AM #6:	You're likely going to need a new PSU. The 6900XT needs three 8-pin pci power connectors, and Gigabyte recommends an 850W rating. I'm guessing your 10yo psu doesn't have either of that. --- In dentibus anticis frustum magnum spinaciae habes. <cite>Hornezz posted [p:965026246] in Anyone kno...

This, honestly. The new AMD ryzen processors are much better and lower priced compared to intel counter parts. But the PSU is you priority to upgrade to use the GPU. Never skimp out on the PSU. --- https://i.imgur.com/tzhGHNu.gif http://error1355.com/ce/megamanfreakXD.html <cite>megamanfreakXD posted [p:965026534] in Anyone kno...

Kisai 05/14/22 3:45:49 PM #11:	Thanks for the recommendation. ^^ CaptainStrong posted... If you can afford to, you should do a completely new build. Ivy Bridge CPUs are ancient and are gonna bottleneck your new graphics card. See, this is part of what's incredibly confusing about all of this. Ivy Bridge CPUs? Hornezz posted... You're likely going to need a new PSU. The 6900XT needs three 8-pin pci power connectors, and Gigabyte recommends an 850W rating. I'm guessing your 10yo psu doesn't have either of that. And I have no idea about graphics cards having specific PCI power connectors... or that they can conflict with PSUs. Do graphics cards need to be connected directly to the PSU or something? And do a lot of graphics cards have different power connectors? --- WHO MODS THE MODERATORS? <cite>Kisai posted [p:965034377] in Anyone kno...

Kisai 05/14/22 3:53:24 PM #13:	CommonStar posted... Whats your budget if you were to build a new PC disregarding the GPU since you already have it? I guess roughly $1000 or so. I was thinking if I HAD to buy a bunch of new parts for the GPU, I could do it slowly and save up for parts over a few months. But I was looking at sales on r/buildapcsales and seeing how even stuff like RAM can cost $200 on sale, so maybe $1000 would just barely be enough to scrape by to do a full build. --- WHO MODS THE MODERATORS? <cite>Kisai posted [p:965034508] in Anyone kno...
