Happy that:
Okay, das hört sich für Sie sehr gut an!

Only one gen4 nvme slot though… :frowning_face:

For me the one NVME slot would be enough, would be just for the system, everything else on HDD.

But that won’t be until the end of next year anyway and by then there will be something new.

To give you an idea that board is $259.00 CDN. plus tax here.

It has 2 slots - but only one is generation4, and thus super-speedy - the other is merely extremely fast (see specs on Samsung 970 Evo Plus drives). The best prices per storage amount are around 1Tb or 2Tb these days, so you could have a screaming fast setup without a spinner, and without a big hole in the bank account.

Okay, maybe a little overdressed too, I’m not a gamer anymore.

It may seem expensive i don’t know but i only buy ATX motherboards. They have others that are single slot m.2 and single ethernet port 1 gigabit for less. But still probably in the $200 CDN range.

Edit: Options are you get previous gen boards for less if they support the CPU you purchase.

Did you tweak the fan curve on your rx 580 or are you running the fans stock?

I’m running fans stock on my RX590 but i’m not gaming.

No, I didn’t change anything on the curve. However, the fans ALWAYS run. I was told that the amdgpu driver does not support zero-fan-mode.

ah ok, I have no issues with fan noise. The fans always running are fine by me. I love gaming but nothing i play is really demanding. I should be able to comfortably game at 1440p.

Can anyone here with the RX5700XT cards install glmark2 and run the full tests. My RX590 glmark2 score was 11516.

I need to upgrade to something that can play 3440x1440 at around 100fps, depending on the game. After fighting with NVidia optimus for too long it’s clear that I need AMD. :smiley: Waiting for the next gen cards though. I hope they won’t have much driver issues.

ill have some info for you by tomorrow or sometime sunday, installing my RX5700XT sometime tmw

I have successfully installed my RX5700XT but I am unable to remove my nvidia drivers. I am getting an error when I do a sudo pacman -Rs nvidia-utils. Getting error message " failed to prepare transaction ( could not satisfy dependencies). Says removing nvidia-utils breaks dependency for lib32-nvidia-utils, vulkan-driver required by steam, nvidia-utils required by nvidia-settings and lastly nvidia-utils-450 required by nvidia-dkms

What am I doing wrong?

pacman is protecting you from removing a package which other packages depend upon.

You can try the -c (“cascade”) option to remove packages which depend on the package you’re removing, e.g. pacman -Rsc nvidia-utils .
