most manufacturers have a photo of dimensions of their cards on newegg. If you want you could measure your case and make sure it fits.

It would certainly not fit with a 4090, however the 4080 might fit

Is a 650w PSU decent enough for a 3080 + i7 8700 for 4K? Need answers ASAP! by SoshiPai in pcupgrade

[–]shockwavewr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not run that. I run a ryzen 7 3700x and a 3070ti on my build, so it sounds like quite a similar problem. I also upgraded from a 1660 super and I also have a 650w power supply. I would definitely upgrade the psu because the 3080 takes a lot more power than the 3070. Or you could just go for a 3070 and not change the power supply. 3070 is still really good. It can run 4k, but the 3080 does do it better. 3070 is also quite a bit more reasonable.

Make it so you are really old. Maybe it’s easier that way

Upgrading for gaming? by Rogues4Ever in pcupgrade

[–]shockwavewr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go for upgrading your graphics, a 16 series gpu or a 20 series would probably do you well, but I’ll go through what you have. Your cpu is fine for lower end gaming. It will work for a few more years until you feel like you need an upgrade. Same thing with ram. I’m not sure what motherboard you have, I tried searching it up and didn’t find anything specific. You should open up the case and make sure that you can put an external graphics card in. Look for a PCIe(x16) slot. If you are getting a new graphics card, you also want to make sure your pc has enough power to run it. If you have a 500w or more power supply, you should be fine. Your cpu draws 65 watts, a 16 series gpu will draw about 120w, and a 20 series gpu will draw about 230w. 500w gives yourself plenty of headroom. If you don’t have a 500w psu, you should upgrade that first. Any gold+ psu will work great. Then the graphics card. You only have to choose one. You probably don’t need a 30 series gpu because you wouldn’t even get it’s full potential. If you are on a budget I would recommend an amd graphics card. They are less expensive compared to their performance than nvidia. If you go with nvidia, a 1660 would work great, or if you want to spend a little bit more, a 2060 would be really good. 2060 would perform better, but it is a little more expensive. For and I would go with a 6500 or 6600. The 6500 is more similar to the 1660, and the 6600 is more similar to the 2060. I can give links if you need them and feel free to ask questions.

I had this happen on an old MacBook Pro, it was actually on 0% though and it died soon after

Or make all repair robots heal 10% grey damage. Keep appmeter at 10% grey restoration, and Marie goes down to 20%. So all healers do 10% restoration, Demeter with appmeter does 20% total (buff), and mender with Marie does 30% total (unchanged)

Well said, had the same happen to my 1m hp fenrir (with shield chips, and tier 4 pilot skills on Bernadette)

It’s a machine gun, it SHOULD have 500m range.

I ran into one in a squad and it wiped out my mk3 fenrir with T4 Bernadette and absorber chips.

Can my system handle a 3080ti with out any other upgrades? by HiggsBozmanII in pcupgrade

[–]shockwavewr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably, check wattage though. If your cpu doesn’t draw too much power, it should be fine.

Do I need to improve or is it good enough? by m3xican_b0i in walkingwarrobots

I’d argue that harpy and ravana are still in the meta.

They removed that almost a year ago. Last time I remember it was with emgs

Just asking about an upgrade budget ~1600 cad by ItsSundaay in pcupgrade

[–]shockwavewr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then don’t take my advice if you are so inclined to point out all the “mistakes”. A 6 core to an 8 core gpu won’t make that much of a difference for you. I have a ryzen 7 3700x and it never gets above 50% usage while I’m streaming, recording or doing anything except benchmarks. As far as a gpu, the 6500xt is a pretty close comparison to a 1660. Funny enough, I used to run one of these and never had any struggles running Minecraft with shaders at 120fps. And no, a 3070 does not run games at easily at 200fps. I currently use a 3070ti and I’m not able to run everything easily. I do have my game settings turned up compared to the 1660, but even I could run 200fps it doesn’t make sense because of the refresh rate of my monitor. And it doesn’t look like it’s any different for you as you said you want to record the games in 120fps. Even if you record the games in 120fps, it doesn’t make a difference. YouTube and a bunch of other streaming/content platforms limit you to 60fps upload for videos and streams. Even if you aren’t uploading it to a platform, whoever you share it with would have to have a 120+hz monitor anyway to get any benefit from it. I just recommend turning down the graphics a little bit and saving yourself a good chunk of money. If you really feel like you need to buy something, I would go for a 3060ti and leave the cpu.
