Wuthering Waves still crashes on latest Nvidia driver
real talk, would using this case with a 5090 not just guarantee that the fans will be throttling nearly 24/7? I can't imagine this case can handle high performance whilst also not turning into a jet engine.
>>106619078Jensen is doing you a favor by not letting you play gacha shit
>>106619078that was supposed to be fixed a few drivers ago
>>106619107Will autistic anons ever stop trying to make meme-cases a thing for high performance builds, ever? cringe.
I'm completely out of the loop, whats the latest safe rtx 50 driver? I'm still on 572.83 out of fear of downloading the wrong driver and having my shit fucked
>>106619155the latest one is as good as it gets
>>106619154>If you want a good gayming monitor go for a benq with environment light sensor. This allows you to automatically adapt the picture to the current environment lighti sit in a dark room with sunscreen taped shut lol. Honestly i think im either buying a cheap 2-300$ random 1440p now, or im gonna sit on the fence for a couple more months and hopefully grab a good deal @ black friday on oled (last year had some pretty good monitor deals).. But waiting when i get my new build tomorrow is gonna suck.. ugh
>>106618636If you want a good gayming monitor go for a benq with environment light sensor. This allows you to automatically adapt the picture to the current environment light, which is better than most people expect. Delta E<2 on oleds doesnt mean shit if the environment light destroys the grey balance and makes the black levels vanish.Even better would be a graphics monitor, but they are pretty much limited to 60Hz and only look good in a light controlled environment - which is unfeasible for anybody except photofags
>>106619193I guess youre fine then. Just choose one that is actually flicker free. It will be better for your eyes.
>>106619118I think the game just hates boost clocks
>>106619225>Just choose one that is actually flicker freehow to know which ones have flicker? just google reviews? or are some panel types more inclined to have it?
>>106619227are you undervolting/overclocking?
>>106619078You're a tranny.
How many fans do you REALLY need?
>>106619312a lot
>>106619312My last PC only has one stock CPU fan and the GPU has one single fan. You dont need more.
>>106619248>>106619248Look up reviews ye. OLEDs always flicker in the refreshrate interval if it displays darker colors. VA, TN and IPS depend on the backlight. Its fine if its pwm dimming with at least 3kHz or if its dc-like dimming. Ideally the review has some measurements with a graph and the ms on x-axis, showing brightness on the y-axis.Picrel shows the Samsung S95F OLED TV which clearly has brightness dips with the refreshrate but reviewers still claim that OLEDs are flicker free which is a flat out lie. I guess they just cant use their brains properly or something. They have the data right in front of them and they dont recognize it
>>106619259who isnt? cards come pre oc'd these days.
>>106619354don't be retarded, are you manually applying any overclocks or undervolts? if yes, that is why you're crashing, dumbass
>>106619354Pre OC is just marketting. They all boost to the same freq.
When did AIO become popular and standardized?
Gem Alert!
Why the fuck are modern GPUs ~70 degrees under load?My 2060 Super is ever reaching 50-60 max.What went wrong with those temperatures?
>>106619365>>106619361the boost in gpu-z says 2650mhz but can go as high as 2830mhz on its own
>>106619416>tranny tracingWho cares?
>>106619312Wouldn't this PC be a million times better with two giant 200mm(?) fans in the front? More efficient and would push far more air than those 8.
>>106619426? The 5090, 5080, and 9070xt run hot because they can pull assloads of power
>>106619475Why aren't 200mm fans popular?
>>106619498guess
>>106619426"Under load" means differently depends on what game, resolution, fps, settings youre targeting, retard. Temp depends on your card's power draw and cooling solution. The 2060 super is very low powered.
>>106619426>why do cards pulling 400 watts run slightly hotter than my card that pulls less than 200 wattsgee i wonder
Im playing with 60 fps cap for better letency, keeping my gpu below 100% around 80-90%. I wonder if the power cycles of full load to no load, to full load 60 times a second harm my gpu. It means that temps probably look like a zig-zag. Its probably no issue at all because it would be extremely retarded if it would
PS5 is a joke
>>106619475larger fans have lower static pressurehigh static pressure is good for radiators
>>106619498I use 4 in my pc.
>>106619732Show case?
ELI5 : The fsr4 leak or whatever, will it work on any card or how does this work? Theoretically I could try to use it on a vega 64 or Nvidia gpu?
>>106619043case should be on the floor under the desk
>>106619634How do they do it in an electronic store? Im pretty sure it's nothing special and they can have them there for years.
>>106619043>265K for value & reliability i was told intel was buggy and overpriced
>>106619789>crawl under your desk like a dog just to pull out a cable
I'm just a novice but can somebody explain why everybody trashes Intel CPU's but most pre-builts and laptops use Intel? I already chose to build my own computer with the 7800x3D, but it's impossible to not notice all the computers with Intel chips on the market. What incentives are these companies getting?
>>106619107youre supposed to water cool that case senor sperg
>>106619775it works on any card with int8 support so as far back as pascal (gtx 1000), vega, and intel arc. the better the int8 the faster it will run. for example theres less of a impact on 9070xt than 7900xtx because rdna4 is just way better at int8 and fp8.
>>106619416Remind me why the 50-series exists when 40-series cards have more memory?
>>106619774HAF 700 EVO with a 200x400mm top radiator.
>>106619813and what cools the water? ignoring the fact that air cooling is quieter
>>106619826idiotic
>>1066198215000 series has new display controller. thats the primary upgrade. it does next gen displayport and the framegen tech is done inside the display controller instead of on shader units.
>>106619826air cools the waterwater cooling is all just a scam it all leads back to air doing all the work
>>106619846Water is nice because you are moving the heat directly out of the case and not dumping it in a metal box to be sucked up by other components.
>>106619819Is the quality the same as regular rdna4 exclusive fsr4?
>>106619857>out of the caseyou mean into the reservoir, housed inside the case, cooled by fans
>>106619821They don't you're retarded.
>>106619837>it does next gen displayport and the framegen tech is done inside the display controller instead of on shader units.What practical benefits do I, a gaymer, see from this?
