Someone post the pants! Do it real fast! Nvidia shills cant stop losing.
>>108539475her ass looks wrong
>>108539475I'm happy with my new 9070 XT but I can't help but think that my protests against scaling technology is hopeless. I just want pure raster performance. Like perhaps pic rel was part of the last generation of games before upscaling was a big thing. Like the games that released with Pascal, the last honest nvidia generation.
>>108539424Lmao btw at the disgusting nvidijeet at the end of the last thread who posted a pic of his double scam gpu (overpriced 5080 + it's custom AIO heatsink model that your fucked and can't fix if the pump dies or some shit after your warranty ends)
>>108539506Forgot to put the important part that there was fucking cum on his pants
>AMD GPUS ARE SO FUCKING MID NO ONE CUMS BECAUSE OF THEMamd bros....
Used to come to pcb threads and post a lot but since this month the quality of these threads are just obscenely shit, degraded into complete brand wars and most of the threads are spammed by the same fanboy.I just open pcb and every time i see the same shit it's either the amd copy pasta or the nvidia copy pasta why can't you just post the old copy pasta without the fear mongering and rage baiting ?
Just bought a 5060 ti 16gb Zotac twin edge gpu. Anyone had this GPU? What are your thoughts about this gpu?
>>108539532listen cumstain boy, sometimes you just gotta man up and migrate to other generals. pcbg is dead in general. what is there to talk about anyway? you faggots not even hope posting because I bet many of you bought overpriced ramkits the past 6 months.whenever a decent cpu comes around amd lowballs the whole market by barely providing supply. Jew forbid people could buy decent 200-300 x3d cpus for their needs. amd and nujudea does the same. you fags not even talking about tech, dont post relevant videos.cumstain boy its time to admit, you are part of the problem.
>dude has some food stains on his jeans>4chan: lol cum! CUM CUM CUM
>>108539571>Unless he has very strong cum.autists tend to have very strong and stinky semen on average.
/g/ - Semen
he literally posted his cumstained pants while trying to show off his msi suprim liquid 5080 gpu. I dont think you fuckers trully understand how comedic that is. It has layers. Its 4chan. Its autistic. There is the worst gpu from the worst aib and there is cumstains. Like it or not this is what peak 4chan performance looks like.
>there are people dropping a ~$1000 on 27" OLED gaymen monitorsWhat are we doing here? Just get a 42" LG C series OLED and it'll blow whatever you plan on buying out of the water. The best part is that you can retire it to a guest room when you upgrade.
So anyways, is water cooling the 5080 even necessary?
>>108539517>>108539614its dried soup, not cum
>>108539632>is water cooling the 5080 even necessaryIf the 5090 FE is a two slot card while pulling 600W, absolutely nobody needs their GPU water cooled unless they're going for acoustics and benchmarks.
>>108539632its necessary only if your chasing 3dmark top 10 scores
is it safe to buy ram yet i just want some upgrades for my laptops ffs
>>108539648Because of the whole iran thing you should buy anything you need NOW, and I mean yesterday now. Don't wait for nova lake, don't wait for price drops, don't wait for anything.
>>108539634yeah, man chowder
>>108539632what do you mean necessary?of course not, if the cooler comes shipped as an air cooler, then the manufacturer has deemed that necessary
I don't know if the PG27UCDM shill from the other day is still here but it absolutely does not reach full screen 300 nits in SDR according to every review I can find.The upcoming PG27UCWM will simply mog it.
>>108539697Nobody cares.
>>108539697>27" 4K>$1100 You zoomers just need to get over it and buy the upcoming LG C6 42". I guarantee it craps all over whatever that thing is. t. early OLED adopter (Own a 77" and two 42", and previously a 55")
>>108539697Everybody cares.
>>108539748Why don't you shoot yourself with a shotgun?
>>108539747Depends on how far you are from your screen. I wouldn't go for such dogshit PPI under a 1,50m sitting distance.
>>108539750I don't want to make your mom sad
>>108539624monitors have higher sdr brightness than it nowjust get a 55" premium oled instead to unlock all the brightness and hdr if you gonna take the tv pill>>108539697the pg32ucdm3 has the added brightness with the same 5layer panel and is the one you should be buying>The upcoming PG27UCWM will simply mog it.it will be 200-250 nits sdr tops, it will lose like 60% brightness from removing the white subpixelit will have worse color than qdoled because it's a woled the only thing better will be the subpixels and the glossy coating>>108539747I haven't seen any good sales in a while
>>108539532is not really a brand war at this point, just 2 autist in deep regret screeching endlessly while AMD continues to lose
>>108539758>32"No way in hell. Dogshit PPI.The PG27UCWM has been measured within 5 nits of the PG27UCDM. It's not different than its QD equivalent.The rgb subpixel stripe increases color volume noticeably and it remains to be seen how far it is from QD Oled (if it's not literally on par), it's the only thing up in the air at moment.
>>108539757Let people enjoy things and stop being a genuinely bad person.
Oh and fucking shut the fuck up forever while you're at it.
>>108539751>dogshit PPII went through my PPI phase a decade ago when I experimented with 4K 27" panels. I have 20/15 vision and sit around the distance you listed and it looks perfectly sharp. >>108539758>monitors have higher sdr brightness than it nowWho cares about SDR brightness when you'll be enabling HDR whenever you watch a movie or play a game. I can see the utility in high SDR brightness if you're in a very sunny room with direct lighting, but at that point, what's the point of even going OLED? >just get a 55" premium oled instead to unlock all the brightness and hdr if you gonna take the tv pillI already have. I own a 77in G5.
>>108539786>everyone should be a wholesome chungus! stop hurting my feefees!
AOC U27G4R or Gigabyte G27UPthe AOC is €15 cheaper
>>108539796Do you think you could handle being on receiving end of your conversations? No you would lose your shitty little fucking mind, so stop subjecting people to your shit you little faggot.
>>108539794A 30 PPI difference is absolutely monstrous. My Macbook air looks so fucking sharp I can't help but notice it everytime I go back to another screen. I can't settle for a monitor that's so far away from 200+ PPI. 4k 27" is already a last resort solution at this point.
>>108539784>The PG27UCWM has been measured within 5 nits of the PG27UCDM. It's not different than its QD equivalent.so same as old gen panels>The rgb subpixel stripe increases color volume noticeably and it remains to be seen how far it is from QD Oled (if it's not literally on par)worse due to woled filtering5k 27" qdoled will come out and mog it and you will regret your purchase>>108539794>Who cares about SDR brightness when you'll be enabling HDRfor every time you can't use hdr>I already have. I own a 77in G5.why would you wanna go down to 42" C series>>1085398205k IPS exist5k QDOLED Soon(tm)now that will look goodusing a 55" tv up close made me kinda miss ppi32" 4k qdoled is fine minus the fringing and eye strain
>>108539794>but at that point, what's the point of even going OLEDOLED is a huge upgrade in SDR, the colors and contrasts are already there. My Switch OLED's panel looked more appealing than my old IPS by leaps and bounds.>>108539802>projectionYeah bro, go call your caretaker asap because you're about to snap, I can feel it.
>>108539846Go get raped by your co-workers
>>108539845OLED 5k 27" won't release anytime soon. I won't regret my purchase as long as it remains the best choice for a year minimum.
>>108539765>while AMD continues to loseok amd continues to lose and be a greedy beta of the market.then there is nvidia being a disgusting slop providing greedy cutthroat nigger.they even make secret backdoor deals to fuck over everyone. top tier gpu is 3500. great, everybody lost, now fucking what?
I said before and I will say it again.If you buy the absolute objective best hardware, within a month something better will be released.If you buy what you actually want, you'll be happy for years.
I'm a monitorfag and I went for an ultrawide so at least I can have an aspect ratio that TVsheep can only dream of!
>>108539872Now you get a job and realize that GPU's so eventually when you can afford an nvidia one you realize that if you match image quality, frame pacing and overall performance even the 5050 mogs what a 1080 was doing on 2017
It's disgraceful to see a benchmark of over 1800 seconds on a top-tier GPU.
>>108539865>won't release anytime soon.they have to bait people with the rgb stripe woled first>>108539900>within a month something better will be released.nah you will wait 3 years until the next NV GPU releaseit makes sense buying top end now you are gonna be waiting for fucking years for anything else>>108539906tvs literally have the uw meme custom res built in
>>108539845>why would you wanna go down to 42" C seriesI own 3 OLEDs, 1 for my home theater, and 2 for my desktop. >for every time you can't use hdrSuch as? 300 nits is extremely bright. I actually use my C2 and C4 at 50 OLED brightness in SDR because it strains my eyes for productivity tasks. Then again, I'm in a light controlled room and I don't know your situation, or if your eyes are more resilient than mine. >>108539865>OLED 5k 27"Literal and unironic waste of money. Go and buy yourself an 8K mastering monitor if everything else is such a half measure.
>>108539911what you even trying to say?>even the 5050 mogs what a 1080 was doing on 2017how? what?
>>108539939>tvs literally have the uw meme custom res built inyeah but you'd have black bands
>>108539945You can play at 4k with a 70 tier card anon, and you can do 1440p with a 5050 as long you use upscaling. No one on a modern card with 8gb should be doing 1080p anymore except people on AMD hardware because they dont have good enough framepacing or reflex to enable frame generation
>>108539424Let us know how the liquid tastes.
>>108539958>inb4 muh latencyCP 77 with reflex gives you sub 50 PCI Latency at 60 fps while on AMD hardware with anti-lag you have close to 80 ms, even when you enable frame gen it adds 3ms the reason fags are obsessed about muh 120 fps on single player games is because they are stuck with AMD GPU's in which you need that to match the PCI latency of 60 fps on an nvidia card
>>108539944>Such as?desktop? any game that does not use hdr?>300 nits is extremely bright.doesn't the G5 hit 500 in sdrmore brightness more betta?>Literal and unironic waste of money. Go and buy yourself an 8K mastering monitor if everything else is such a half measure.8k does not have high hz and is a gaymen monitor>>108539952it's oled so pixels are shut off
>>108539944No because 8k would be too much for my 5090 anyway. 5k is still doable. Depends on how much better the 6090 is but by then maybe 8k could become comfortable. I sit between 50 and 55cm from my screen so any PPI below 140 is eye-searing.
I'm too old to be arguing PPI with you kids. have fun with your crappy monitors
>>108539981>it's oled so pixels are shut offSure, however uneven burn-in remains a very real issue that's been observed to happen relatively quickly on UW monitors having to frequently display 16:9 contentYou don't notice regular burn-in for years on modern panels but uneven burn in is quite obvious>>108539987>cope
>>108539987if you aren't hzmaxxing just buy a tv and place further away for the brightnessthe fact that a G5 55" on sale is the same as a 32" Asus monitor is well yeah>>108539995>mah burn!just buy a new display
>>108539958what??? >No one on a modern card with 8gb should be doing 1080p anymoreyeah I never claimed otherwise. I have been on 4k since 2018.>you can do 1440p with a 5050 as long you use upscalingthe 5050 is e-waste, the 50 cards died almost a decade ago, nobody should even consider them as real gpus. >You can play at 4k with a 70 tier gputhe 70 is doo, the 70ti is decent. it needs upscaling and other kikery, lets be honest the 5070 is incredibly disappointing. the 5070ti okay but the price is unacceptable.
>>108540052You had worse input lag on 2018 getting 120 fps than in a modern nvidia gpu using frame gen with a base of 60 fps anon, and they are selling it for $250. And no a 5070 its the most popular gpu for a reason, you are just too poor to see it. Blackwell is the best generation in terms of adoptiion while every single tech reviewer called it a waste of sand, because people can tell straight away who actually used the GPUs and who did not
>>108539747>LG C6 42"one interesting thing is if they improve the dithering like on the G6 considering new processor and all that shit, although it might already be hard to see on that model alreadybut 165hz also and probably small brightness bumpmight still be the sweetspot
There is absolutely no reason not to go ultrawide in 2026 where absolutely everything supports it nowadays, even 90s games have community fixes for UW
>>108539958>framepacingIt isn't opposite day. JeetForce cards are the ones that have framepacing issues not Radeon due to their ChatGPT vibe coded drivers
>>108540163see, i told you literally 2 autist constantly screeching because they boughted the worse generation of RDNA gpus since RDNA1
>>108540157UW is a boy meme. Only boys care about muh ultrawide. Be a man and stop caring.
>>108540175shut up woman
>>108539532It's been pretty bad for a few months now.It's entirely because some AMD faggot is upset that he bought the cheapest 9070XT, and it's dogshit compared to a 5070Ti which he could have got for like $50 more at the time he bought it.
>Order 5090 4 months ago>After a long wait that fucker is finally in the mail and arrived to a parcel center near me on Friday>Expect to get it today, even the mail company marks it as in transit.>Mfw apparently there's some religious day going on and the mail doesn't move today.This is absolute bullshit.We did away with the church control of shops opening times over 10 years ago and now they're open normally on Sundays as they should have always been. If stores can ignore the biblical texts, then why the fuck does the church still dictate the days something as crucial as mail functions?Yes I'm fucking mad.I bet when our societies are fully automated, the system still shuts down on weekends for some god damn reason.
