galenanorth posted:What is the best graphics card that will work with my PC from 2012? Hard to get any graphics cards at all right now. anything you can get is going to be 2-3x its normal price. That includes used cards. That said, your first limiting factor will be your PSU. If it's also from 2012, you probably need a new one. Your CPU is also pretty old. Do you have any specific games you're trying to play? You might seriously be better off buying a console and selling it when graphics card prices fall.

My display is 1080p at 60 Hz. I was thinking about trying out Yuzu (Nintendo Switch) emulator for Super Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which requires OpenGL 4.6, which requires a Radeon HD 7000 series graphics card at minimum --- the year after the GPU I'm using now came out. I'm also wanting to try out Red Dead Redemption 1 on the Xenia (Xbox 360) emulator. Civilization VI. Monster Hunter: World. The Lost Ark MMO

You've waited this long, you can wait another few months for more sane GPU prices.

galenanorth posted:My display is 1080p at 60 Hz. Note that emulation is very CPU heavy. I don't know much about switch and x360 emulators, but a 2300 sounds like it could run into major performance issues attempting to emulate those consoles. I would ask around and see how viable that chip is with those emulators before making any upgrades. A casual check on my end tells me you may run into a lot of trouble trying to run those emulators on that CPU no matter what graphics card you get. Also be aware that you are going to have to massively overpay for a graphics card if you plan on buying anything now. You have quite seriously picked the worst time in the history of PC gaming to want a new graphics card.

Thank you all. The chip doesn't meet the Yuzu system requirements (Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2 GHz) or the Monster Hunter: World minimum requirements (Intel Core i5-4460, 3.20GHz) either, I probably should have noticed that. There are still a lot of recent games that work on this PC, such as Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, so I should wait a few more years before considering upgrading.

You can probably get a used xbone and switch lite for under $350, and you don't have to worry about weird emulator glitches or upgrading your whole computer.

galenanorth posted:What is the best graphics card that will work with my PC from 2012? Beyond the (good) advice others are giving you, just a note that on a technical level, pretty much everything will plug into everything, as long as you have enough a PSU that’s beefy enough to run it. You could put an RTX 3090 on an Athlon 64 if you wanted, as long as it had a PCIe slot. (at least in broad strokes. technically I think there might finally be an official requirement for 64 bit nowadays? and there are some gotchas like PCIe x1 slots potentially not having enough power to fully drive a GPU (perhaps requiring a powered riser and so on) and of course GPU length and slot size have been increasing over the years and may not be compatible with your case. But generally speaking PCIe just works (tm) regardless of era.) As others are noting it’s a terrible time to buy a GPU, and your cpu is not real great there. But generally speaking you will want to stay on NVIDIA cards, I constantly see people complaining about bad OpenGL performance and bad emulation performance on AMD cards. If you are trying to stay on a tight budget, a place to start might be the GTX 970 and 1060 3GB as these are less inflated due to mining (because of the small vram - which is also a downside for you too).

Once mining demand lets up a little and prices normalize somewhat in a few months (hopefully, maybe), you may be able to snag a used 1060 6gb on the cheap from people who are upgrading to newer cards. It'll be old and crusty in the coming generation, but I used one until early last year and it did great running the last generation of games. There's a reason why it's been the most popular graphics card for so long. (Well, two, the second reason being the gpu shortage is preventing people from upgrading to better cards  )

 Should I turn either of these on? I have a 1080ti and a monitor with the actual G-sync hardware in it if that matters. The best answers I could find seem to be "maybe". edit: I assume the answer is no because they're not on by default? owls or something fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Jun 23, 2021 |

1080 also with actual g-sync module here, both of them are on with no apparent ill effects. IIRC the hardware GPU scheduling operates on a whitelist so it only actually does anything for applications that are known to benefit from it and otherwise stays off anyway.

Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling: it depends on the game but usually no. There was some excitement for it initially when applied to Microsoft Flight Simulator, but subsequent opinions have been mixed. Essentially what it does is move some of the command processing in the rendering pipeline from the CPU to the GPU. This may or may not do something meaningful depending on the game and your computer, but usually it won't do much. Some games actually performed worse with it on when it was first implemented (like RDR2), but I don't know if they ever fixed that. I would say no to that one. I can't test it myself because it's NVidia only (despite what various tech sites say). AMD did add support for it to their drivers last year but then quickly rescinded it and never added support back for some reason. Variable Refresh Rate: This is also controllable by your graphics drivers, and it should usually be on. It's FreeSync/G-Sync support, basically, which are just good. edit: There's a GN video for everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlrWDb1pKXg Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Jun 23, 2021 |

My experience with HAGS was that turning it on made games crash for no performance benefit. One of those 'try again next year' options.

Everything I've read about it when I was looking it up earlier in the year was that its very rarely going to improve performance and is almost certainly going to be more trouble than it's worth.

Definitely feels like we're watching GPU prices crash down in the UK now. As an example, I watched one of the better AIB (Sapphire Nitro+) 6700XT's sell for £620 in an eBay auction today, probably netting the seller ~£560 - for a card that maybe as little as a month ago was being scalped by bots instantly at £700+ and reselling for £800+.

you know looking at the listing it's interesting - the seller comments how they bought a 3070 as a stopgap, and now that they've lucked into a 3080ti for rrp (with prices so high) they thought they could easily sell the 3070 and recoup his costs. i wonder how common that assumption is.

Bits are mined on extremely specific machinery, so they haven’t been as intrusive to the market as the Etherium mining is ‘cause of doing it on consumer GPUs. Those dudes count on number go up, so if go down can sell used cards for more money than even other newer cards at MSRP from a stressed-out supplier/consumer market. If nobody wants those used, possibly overused, cards it seriously eats into their profit plan.

There are still guys on eBay selling prebuilt gaming PCs stripped of their GPUs. I've heard there are lots of scalpers making a profit on each computer by selling components separately. If this crisis is ending, who will be left holding the bag?
