Great job with the rig. But something i noticed is that the Rx 6600xt only has 8 lanes instead of the standard 16 pcie lanes. Its is also pcie 4.0, while this generation of intel still uses pcie 3.0. This leaves us with the gpu only having 8 lanes of pcie 3.0. This makes me think the gpu isn't getting information quickly enough from the system. I wonder if the rx 580 would be a better fit. I imagine a lower fps but less microstutters

No you are thinking of the 6500xt. 6600xt is full 16x lanes.
@PCTechHustle
@PCTechHustle Жыл бұрын
Well I stand corrected!! I was thinking about the 6500xt which uses even half the amount of lanes the 6600xt uses (4vs8 lanes). You may also be 100% right where even an older card with full pci-e lane capacity could give it a run for its money! Fantastic catch because I guess I was only focusing on the 6500xt that had reduced lanes but seems the 6600xt also received this architecture change but not as severe. I really don’t like that GPU manufacturers are using this tactic to cut costs. Anywho I’m pinning your comment for the great feedback and observation. Thanks!

Even a 4090 cannot fully saturate a PCIE-3.0 x16 slot and 4.0 x8 = 3.0 x16 bandwidth. PCIE-4.0 speeds are mostly beneficial for high speed M.2 NVME drives at the moment. This is a combination of a CPU bottleneck (4 cores) even with hyperthreading just isn't enough anymore and a locked DELL bios running the ram at its rated speed without any XMP profile and its just way to much GPU for the rest of the system.

In 10-20 years people will reminisce about building out their first PC and MANY of them will be talking about their old Optiplex. It's such a great starter because it gets you gaming right now and opportunities to learn how to work on hardware. It won't be viable forever though, so once you replace it, it can make for a GREAT home theater PC or couch gaming console.

This is a great video and I am a huge fan of the optiplex gaming builds. Especially the 9020 mini tower. So many possibilities. I have one myself. However, I feel like a case swap is necessary. I moved mine into a phanteks case, got all the necessary adapters for front I/o and power buttons, and even got 5 fans going thanks to 5 pin to 4 pin adapters and a fan hub. I also put in a sata to rgb hub and have leds on all the fans. It is basically a real gaming pc now. Mine has a 1060 in it currently but I’m thinking about throwing my 2070 super in. If I have enough space in the case and have my after market psu (750 watt) than it should work okay right ? I’m guessing some bottle neck from my i7-4770

I have an issue with my computer. can someone please help me? My Optiplex 9020 runs game really well despite its age. Currently I have only the Silicon Power 512gb SSD hooked up in replacement to the stock 220gb SSD I had. (graphics card and PSU still waiting on arrival) Before I replaced my old SSD with the new one, the PC was really fast, with its CPU (i7 4770 non-k) clocking at 3.7-3.9GHz, the framerate was really good, and I didn't notice anything unusual. After I replaced my old SSD with the new one, I had to reinstall windows 10 for my new SSD so that it can function properly. Using the same BIOS settings to make my cpu faster before, it has done absolutely nothing. I tried everything I could to raise it but the cpu is stuck to its base clock at 3.4Hz. I also noticed that the framerate went lower, as watching youtube on 1080p, as well as playing a few games like roblox or L4D2 had a lower fps. Note that none of this happened on the old SSD, and I could run 1080p videos and game perfectly fine. The goal for my computer is to make it faster than it already is, not make it slower than a IBM on spirit wifi. My only assumption is that the SSD is too big to handle, which is bottlenecking my pc. I'm expecting for my graphics card, along with some adaptors, to arrive today (6/18/24). I will try to install the PSU and GPU once they arrive. If nothing changes and everythings still slow, then I have no idea what to do.

So I have an Optiplex 3010sff 500gb HDD and 4gb RAM. I already added s Nvidia GTX 1020 low profile graphics card. I have a 500gb SSD and a 2tb HDD waiting to be added when my i7 3770 gets here so that way I'm just upgrading it all at once. I was planning on getting a full tower version of Optiplex but is it even worth it? All I need to play is Elder Scrolls 3 4 5 and fallout 3 4 and NV. Currently my system can only play ES 3 and 4 with just the Nvidia GTX 1020 low profile graphics card. Should I wait to add these upgrades to the full tower when I get that or continue adding them to my Optiplex 3010sff? It starts up fallout 3 and NV but crashes so it should play these games afterwards. I don't play newer games would it even be worth getting a full tower at this point?

Probably not worth it to invest in a new rig with a new graphics card if you only plan on playing older games. I'd consider the RX 6400 sff, I believe that can fit into an optiplex SFF without upgrading the power supply. Look around online for videos, it's a decent card that should play the games you want at 1080p, high settings, 60+ fps.

Not sure what you did but the MW2 portion of your video something went wrong on your end. I have a 4790 as a second rig with GTX 1070 and I have never played "anything" on it between medium to high setting in 1080P that was unplayable or have the frame rates you got from MW2. I have never had to use low settings on anything. Their are plenty of videos on youtube that show a 4790 with less GPU power than you had playing MW2 just fine. I also want to ask why you had all the games on low setting? I will admit the only issue you may run into with the old 4790 is from frametimes and that is usually fixed by locking it down to 30 or 60 FPS. The frametime issues I found is only in the newer AAA game such as Hogwarts legacy and frame caps work great for me. I am not saying this is a build I would do unless I was on a really tight budget but with the parts you had in this rig it should run every title out there on medium to high setting in 1080p with all of them running 30 to 60 FPS.

@@PCTechHustle Yeah Cards like the GTX 1070 or 1080 seem to par better with older hardware like the 4790. I am waiting on a RTX 3060 I ordered and going to try it on my 4790 rig before I put it in a build I am doing. I will let you know how that goes. By the way my 4790 rig is from a dell 9020 I moved all the parts to anther case and buffed it out a little bit with good PS memory and cooling fan, Added gtx 1070 I had laying around along with win 10 pro on a 1TB ADATA SU750 SSD. It really does make a decent entry level setup for those on a really tight budget..PS if you update the bios on those 9020 motherboards to Rev A18 you can put a 4790K in them. Can not OC them but 200MHZ to 400MHZ extra does help.. Anyways I forgot to mention thanks for the video and best to you..

I was running it actually from an SSD. The problem was a CPU bottleneck. The thing I discovered is the open world environment in DMZ which I was testing with needed some graphics tuning. I set it to high instead of low and it smoothed things out. Needless to say I’m no longer testing open work / battle royal game play in WZ2. It’s horribly optimized.

@PC Tech Hustle it runs much better for some reason on a tweaked version of windows 11 and for real no joke ghost spectre win 11 like crazy much smoother . And it still uses alot of ram the same but way smoother and consistent wich is want u want. The also have updates alot wich sometimes break the game lol for real its annoying . I'm running on a gaming laptop with 32 gig ram , rtx 3070, eyzen 5800h . My guess there is unparked /parked cores tweak going on here as well no thermal throttling or power throttling is disabled . Makes u think is Microsoft bloated AF Windows OS really gotten really bad at gaming. It's crazy sometimes I find myself running linux and certain titles are running smoother maybe not the best averages but the 1% lows is the most important 👌 consistency is key . Not 120 down to 42 then up to 130 then down to 75 then up and down not great

Still a big bottleneck even with the i7 4790, the RX 6600 XT is a powerful card and would be better paired with at least a six core CPU like the Ryzen 3600 but for this budget it still holds up well. I think with used components getting cheaper every day going the optiplex route isn't the best option now and getting all the components to assemble a custom PC is a better overall option imo.

Bump it up to 1440p and the 4790 is fine. Granted, the 4790 will still have limitations in newer games that are optimized for more than 4 cores. But yeah, at 1080p, you're not really getting anything over going with something a little cheaper... like the 6600 which is still going to bottleneck, but I think people blow bottlenecks out of proportion, and it's not going to be all that bad with a 6600. Also, you can get a system with a 4790 for under $100 these days. They're still a good option, and you can't build a custom build for the same price. If you've got the money, yeah... go the 3600 route, but the Optiplex route is still a viable option for people that are trying to min max on very tight budgets.
