ryzen 5 3600 + nvedia gt 710 will it work?
ryzen 5 3600 do not have an integrated gpu & i do not wish to step down to 3400g thus, i am planning to use a cheap graphic card i.e. gt 710 just so that i have video output until i get my rtx 2060. i will not be playing any games and not be doing any graphic intensive work with gt 710. motherboard is msi b450 tomahawk. will it work? and is there anything important that i should know about such configuration? will this hinder my cpu performance?
not aware of any specific reason why it wouldn't work. whether it will hinder performance depends on what you're going to do.
just normal use may be a bit of light to mid gaming and small projects with photoshop i also want to try and work with adobe video editors i'm a student after all

honestly, all of these laptops are really just designed for web browsing and office. none of them are going to be able to play current aaa games. some indie games, but not current high end games. 

i would go with this one:

hp i5-7200u 8gb ddr4 1tb amd radeon r7 m440 4gb ddr3 760.52 usd

mainly, they are all about the same and it is cheaper. but this one has enough ram and dedicated gpu to do some light gaming. the 7500u model just has a higher clock cpu, it is not worth an extra $120. it is a dual core cpu, so video editing will be a challenge.

the 8250u is a 4 core/8 thread cpu. but with integrated graphics and 4gb of ram, those will be your bottlnecks in most cases. the extra threads will help with video editing, over the other cpus, but you may have issues due to limited ram. no, the top one is not worth it.

the core i7 990x is a very expensive cpu that's ideal for hardcore number crunching, 3d design/rendering and media encoding. but it's not future-proof by any stretch of imagination, that socket is already obsolete.

for everyday use and gaming, the core i5 2500k is the best bang/buck processor on the market.

if you're building a rig for movie editing or working in maya/3d studio max/blender, you're probably still better off with the core i7 2600k than the 990x because of the huge price disparity. the $700 difference in price corresponds to a small difference in overall performance. for that money you could have a professional workstation graphics card, triple the ram etc.

for gaming, the most important component in your build is the graphics card, and i don't see one listed? roughly 70% of gaming performance is determined by your graphics card. for gaming, even a core i5 2400 with a radeon hd 6970 or gtx 570 is far superior to the more expensive 990x with some $110 graphics card like a radeon hd 5750 or geforce gts 450.

anyway, it's not possible to buy any computer hardware that will still be considered "great" 5+ years later. you want something great by today's standards, on a socket which provides good upgrade options a couple of years down the road. you may not need to upgrade so quickly, but you'd be able to- that's how you get a system to last 5+ years.

ivy bridge will be released in the next few months, and that will outperform sandy bridge. neither of them. much higher specs than you actually need. core i3 with 8 gb ddr ram and an ssd hd all for less than $500 should be more than enough for your uses. stick with the 2500k but still use your lower end mid-range 5770. the gaming performance is not any better when one looks at them side by side http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/288?vs=287 . when only 100mhz separates the two overclocking the 2500k makes up the negligible difference and can then be pushed up 1ghz more just on air. continue saving for a better card. the 6870 is still settling for mid range located smack dab in the center of mediocreville. wait for a 670 or 680 keplar series gpu's from nvidia or invest in the 7970. any of those cards with 3gb of vram is going to add a huge future proof cushion. buy a z68 http://www.techpowerup.com/161073/msi-s-entire-z68-(g3)-h61-(g3)-series-motherboard-supports-intel-s-22-nm-processors.html or http://www.gigabyte.com/press-center/news-page.aspx?nid=1048 which will support their newer pci 3.0 system requirements.after you have your next generation keplar or southern islands video cards like the 7970 it's time to save up for the ivy bridge upgrade along with the necessary bios revision. you are going to be saving $100 off the top by going for a 2500k instead of the 2600k that you can immediately apply to your stash for your better gfx card in the future. i would skip right over the 6970's, 580's and 90's and well anything except the newest cards. while your saving it also gives the newly released cards or processors time to show any bugs like sandy had. if you are thinking about overclocking like a science lab it is simply

enter bios via delete, f1 or whatever your default key is to enter "setup"/bios, click huge button that says overclocking, change the multiplier from 33 to 44 and then f10 to save and exit. following cards have been verified

sta… Received the two DPS830 power supplies in today. I first just installing one in the server with a DPS-730 and the server did not really want to boot up. Pulled the 730 out and it booted up just fine with the 830 so I added the 2nd 830 and added the 730 to the other server. All is working just fine.

Guess the answer is Yes it will work but you can not mix the two.

Hope this helps someone in the feature.

If combining the on board Intel® HD Graphics with a external PCI/PCIe video card, Windows will allow using the two graphics controllers at the same time, but the only dual display mode available is "Extended desktop". If you are looking for other dual display options like "Clone display" then it will be necessary to connect the two monitors into one of the graphics solutions, the on board or the video card so Windows will give you the dual display modes available depending on the graphics adapter.

In order to accomplish this, the most important thing is to change some settings on the BIOS. Please go to the configuration tab>video>integrated graphics device> set to "always enable"

 

Regards.

 




[View solution in original post](/t5/Intel-Desktop-Boards/Using-onboard-graphics-together-with-a-separate-graphics-card/m-p/433770#M41399) it’s been my experience that the cpu alone cannot achieve the rated ddr bandwidth on the agx xavier; presumably you need to use both the gpu and the cpu to saturate the bandwidth.

perhaps the gpu alone could do this, too, with the right workload? i haven’t checked. searching for [nagios graphics card](https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=alekk01og-pwbfooqixifscmfpjltwkfzw:1614931551149&ei=x-zbyizncjmyjlsptq-2ka&q=nagios+graphics+card&oq=nagios+graphics+card&gs_lcp=cgdnd3mtd2l6eam6bwgjeladecdq-bebwpmxawc8swfoanaaeacaawmiababkgedms4xmaeaoaebqgehz3dzlxdpesgbacabaq&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahukewjm-mtr2jjvahuzdgmbhbaxdquq4dudca0&uact=5) got me some:
