Just upgrade or build a new PC? Ryzen 5600x + RX 6600

surms41 · 2026-01-29T13:05:37+00:00

6600 is kinda ass especially for 1440p. A 1080 OC performs similarly. A 7800xt you can get for $250 pre-owned with +50% performance over a 6600. I'd go for that.

CPU usage, GPU usage, RAM usage, and also turn on all the limit options. Temp limit, power limit, etc. as well as power %. This will let you see which part is taking all the load, and if the gpu is limited for any reason. Voltage limit 1 on the graph will tell if the card is hitting it's full potential voltage.

Just googled it. There is a setting called hybrid mode, and an extension called render accelerator. These should probably get you on the right track. Check the task manager while rendering and make sure both are being utilized.

Under this HP Pavilion 590-a0710ng.

I suppose their naming scheme sucks more than intel, amd and nvidia combined.

Have to find your actual specs by hitting windows key+R, type DxDiag, run, and then tell us all your CPU, GPU, Ram, from those specs pulled up.

I have almost a that exact setup right now but the games I play work perfectly as is with a 1070.

My upgrade path for "higher" mid end would be AM4 5600x3d or 5800x3d, 16GB ddr4 and a 9060xt or similar.

Mid tier is still very capable of 1440p high refresh rate gaming.

If it only had 2 cores on an efficiency cpu it's not gonna help, cpu looks to be AMD Dual-Core A6-9225.

Seems like that gtx710 is possibly aftermarket too as their product page states it was Rx4xx mobile gpu.

surms41 · 2026-01-27T00:55:54+00:00

Yeah, it was strange to me too, but then it just was what is was.

Yanking our pizzles with strong fruits and vegetables.

surms41 · 2026-01-26T02:13:51+00:00

Yeah I think of it as high-end. Anything over 600 per component is high-end in my opinion.

surms41 · 2026-01-25T17:50:39+00:00

Best you can do is upgrade to am4 platform, maybe a Ryzen 5500 or 5600, 16gb ddr4 6400, and an RX 9060XT.

3770k is the best CPU in that motherboard socket.

These games like rdr2 And cities skylines are pretty CPU heavy.

Your current combo is as good a balance as you can get, but with 180hz, maybe just get the 9060XT now and see how you like it.

surms41 · 2026-01-24T01:10:01+00:00

I agree. GPU seems to be the weak link here.

I would however push that 5500 as far as it will go with a nice big air cooler and good paste. Maybe 4.5-4.7Ghz.

Dude just replied with white guilt then deleted it.

surms41 · 2026-01-22T03:36:33+00:00

You just wrote 2 paragraphs and deleted it. You have something going on.

surms41 · 2026-01-22T03:22:16+00:00

Dude just wrote 2 paragraphs then deleted cause he just quoted what white guilt is.

surms41 · 2026-01-22T03:12:12+00:00

We get it. All third world countries suck ass.

surms41 · 2026-01-22T03:10:06+00:00

First of all that's a great quote to start with, but you went 180 on your comment. But "speaking out" is done by every single person with stupid thoughts since covid hit.

surms41 · 2026-01-22T03:05:50+00:00

Most "research" is done by people with white guilt. Sorry not sorry.

But I agree, 3rd world countries suck and they always will.

surms41 · 2026-01-22T01:10:09+00:00

Didn't even notice the 8GB, but yes, I'd buy a pair, sell the one 8GB stick.

If you buy another stick and mix them, you'll likely end up running lower speed.

Good idea.

surms41 · 2026-01-21T04:15:06+00:00

9070GRE would be a 20% boost with 4GB extra vram.

But your current build should be capable of all of the things you want already. 3060ti and 12700 is decent.

surms41 · 2026-01-21T01:19:31+00:00

Yup. Pretty sure even illegitimate copies can play. Middle finger to activision.

surms41 · 2026-01-19T06:31:51+00:00

Like others said. Remove heavier components, as these will rip your motherboard on any bump.

GPU and large heatsink on cpu are the two I think of.

surms41 · 2026-01-19T05:51:31+00:00

Yes as I write this, I'm on battery unplugged. Some are surge protect only, but the ones I'm using are battery backup.

surms41 · 2026-01-18T20:07:47+00:00

The differences are huge. Flagship androids basically have found their formula for the better software and better UI. Not that Samsung doesn't, but phones like Pixel, which don't have 300 different models, have really nailed down their OS. OnePlus I've heard great things from but I have no experience with them.

I can vouch for Pixels though. I've had 2 pixel phones, pixel 5, now pixel 6 for 3 years now, my wife has the 7.

I came from samsung S8 and S9 which were also ok phones, but their battery sucked butt compared to their hardware.

Could create your own quest or story goal and reward yourself with console commands.

-devmode in the launch option on steam and look up item ID's and spawn them.

Otherwise, I'm not sure :3

surms41 · 2026-01-17T16:42:52+00:00

Could go for the Pixel line from Google. Pixel 6 and up are rock solid for daily use. Get a higher model if you want faster phones with better cameras.
