Gaming for truckers

I'm sure you can rent that monster to Elon Musk to launch his next Mission to Mars lol
I just need a butter smooth experience at over 100 to 150 fps to get the best out of my 144mhz 1 ms monitor. The Monitor is really the starting point for my builds . I'm a bang for the buck builder and the Ryzen 5 3600 is my go to at the moment , pairing with a 2060 ko or 2070 super would be perfect. I need a new case with some better ventilation and a new cpu fan like the Wraith Max or pair a MSI Tower cooler to match the Msi MB . I could hear and research pc parts and builds all day , unfortunately my next load awaits me . Game on !

 

Ventilation is all well and good. I keep a Server Class Ultra Kaze in the back of the case where it pulls air across the CPU Nickel-Copper Block as a back up to the CPU cooler's own 120 mm fan. And I think I got a Delta Server Class Fan howling in the front of the case feeding the CPU's 120mm fan and Cooler Nickel-copper Block towards the big Ultrakaze in the back so that airflow goes straight across. Makes sense?

There is a temperature monitor inside my Thor case which I modded by removing the top vents to feed radiator. It shows about 29C in winter about 32 C in summer at a room temp between 68 and 74. Gaming she will get at about 44 or so at most.

I like what you have chosen so far with AMD system. I am not particular one way or the other, Ive had both. The last AMD system supported a pair of 5770 crossfire cards. I put like 6 years on them. I might actually still ahve the #### things I don't know for sure.

Yes my rig is a monster. One day in IT College hardware I put up a tiny powerpoint with a little 1.2 gig monster with the TI4600 card which was then top of line.

What I got was 20 people laughing me out of the room. TOO expensive they said.

That too expensive system lasted 12 years until the Ti4600 card failed in heat.

My next computer replacement build was bigger by twice across the board and so on. Ive built 8 in my life time one continues it's 14th year under my Ex's desk, I built that one out of love for her for reliability. I am building a small replacment this year for her out of parts in the closet. Nothing bad just something to be a spare until she affords a nicer laptop. Probably after E3 is over and they hit the ebay with dual video cards for 400 or something. I don't know.

I have a 144 hertz monitor in the store thats about 30 inches and I am liking that one very very much, I think it's samsung something about ultra4K or whatever the hell they call it. 4 color LED something or other.

That monitor ran one of the recent games in 4K at 144 hertz 120 frames a second and it was silky smooth, driven by two TI1080's in that computer. Im hooked already. But at 700 dollars that monitor better #### well be good. I think it is to my lying eyes we will see.

 

Somebody tell X1 that SLI is basically dead and Ryzen is king now. Also water-cooling is more of a meme and a waste of money in most cases. There's many highly effective air coolers.

Also 32GB of ram is even overkill for most people and 128GB is a territory that is only good for certain production workloads that a regular user will never even come close to using. Just spending more on slower ram at that point.

 

Are you building for 144 hz at 1080p or larger?

 

144mhz at 1080p is what I'm running. The 1660 super hits the mark but I'm on the fence about getting the 2060 ok. Just installed a wraith Max and put my setup in a new case , it looks sharp and very clean with a little Rgb .

 

Well, ultimately you do what's best for you. But I run a 144hz monitor also and it is so awesome when you get say over 100 frames (minimum) consistently on high or ultra quality, like buttery smooth. I think that you will have a problem getting those 144 possible fps on your nice monitor on many new games using a 1660 super. I don't know if you ever do research on UserBenchMark, but it is a great site for comparing real world results for CPUs GPUs, etc. For an extra $150 bucks I would put in the 2060 super and gain both ray-tracing and significant frames. For what it's worth. Comparison: UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 1660S (Super) vs RTX 2060S

 

Hmm...

Not limited to Xbox, it was something else and PC.

 

I play mostly cod at the moment mostly high settings at around 120 to 125 fps maybe less on certain maps . Other cod titles I get over 144 fps . I know I'm coming up short for the newest games but I have had this setup since November. GPU is Oc to 2100 mhz and 7750 on the gpu memory, 4.2 steady oc on Ryzen 3600 and bumped up them memory from 3200 to 3600 cl16 . Squeezed quite a few frames out . Not bad gaming for 1080 p .

 

I'm definitely fighting the urge to get the 2060 ko its priced at $300 and I have a $50 credit from Amazon .

 

I'm thinking of putting this together for my truck gaming/streaming. Nothing too fancy, just enough to do the job.
