Upgrade or New Setup for Diablo 4

[limbs03]

2nd hand 3070 or 6800 if you wanna do 1440p general gaming.
~450 sgd or lower .

Diablo usually dun need very high specs to run even at ultra cause they need to cater to console performance so you probably can reuse your CPU and upgrade ram to at least 12gb++.

Save the rest to buy crappy money sucking d4 season pass which they introducing soon lol.

Hi

Thanks for the recommendations! Ok noted on the CPU and ram yah.

For the GPU, my CPU and MB don't support PCIE4 leh, so I think it's abit overkill to get a 3070/6800.
I think the RTX2xxx is furthest I can push my current system liao.
I hearsay the earlier AMD GPUs have sucky driver support sia, so I think I'll stay away, hahah.

I am also wondering if my current rig would be able to run Diablo 4. Otherwise, would need to get a new config.

 

[limbs03]

I tried the open Beta, my current rig confirm cannot run 1440p.

I saw a deal for a new rtx 2060 super for $350, from Inno3D.

Anyone can share experience with these smaller companies? Like Colorful and Galax?

Carousell right? I saw that same deal. But 2nd hand RTX2060 is going for 200+ with warranty. I suggest going for that. Cos S$350 range can get a RTX2070 2nd hand.

Galax is basically Palit, so if you know who Palit is you know what to expect from Galax as well

Colorful I have heard of as well, makes whacky coolers sometimes but should be decent

colorful gpu is decent as in hardware and cheap cheap, just that finding the driver will be kind of hard.

Galax is a bit of an odd fish. Most of its product line is budget but its Hall of Fame line is top-tier. I have the Galax GTX 1070 Ti EX-SNPR which has some aspects of the HoF line and both build quality and performance is top-notch. At stock power, the GPU can already OC to 2 GHz.

Colorful is relatively unknown in Singapore but is hardly a small company. Colorful is the dominant GPU brand in China.

my 1080 also struggles with Diablo 4, shag... thinking wanna to buy new com or not...

Yeah on carousel. So it's about $250 for a 2nd MSI vs $350 for brand new Inno3D.... cannot decide sia, haha

My current 1060 is from palit, it's about 4yo and showing signs of dying liao. Sometimes doesn't generate output at all.

Do gpus from the bigger companies like Asus, MSI, gigabyte last longer?

Palit is from china also isit?

If you are looking for RTX 2060 brand new, Global Cybermind is selling them below $400.
It's ASUS RTX 2060 Dual model.

How about consideration of RX 6600, ASUS Dual AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 8GB GDDR6 [$370]. It should run 1440p at 70+ FPS and 90ish with FSR Quality.

Aftershock has an event on Friday, 31st March. Selling 3060 TI at $499 with special voucher from their tiktok channel. Limited numbers so can consider that too if its within your budget. It may just be a marketing stunt so won't hold my breath for it.

I was going to suggest this as well, but considering that ts is using an old kaby lake system with only pcie gen 3, it may end up slower than a 2060 super with full x16 lane support.

This one has full PCIe lanes no meh

It's the 6500XT that is gimped

6600 and xt only have x8 bandwidth. it's not as big of an issue compared to 6400/6500xt, but there is still a slight performance loss going gen 3.

Nope. All depends on your luck.

Guys....the inno3D one dropped to $300 liao, haha
Check with you guys, driver updates come directly from Nvidia isit?

 

[ragnarok95]

Yes, driver install from nvidia site.

 

[limbs03]

Hoot liao, wish me luck, haha

Just to document and for sharing. I think I'm all set for 1440p medium settings!
