https://www.techpowerup.com/353738/tcl-readies-700-hz-oled-panels-for-2028>TCL's panel arm, TCL CSOT (China Star), is planning OLED monitor panels with refresh rates of up to 700 Hz, according to a new Omdia report on OLED monitor shipments. The panels will apparently come from TCL's Gen 8.6 inkjet-printed (IJP) OLED line in Guangzhou, which is expected to begin production in 2028, and will include larger sizes such as 32-inch and 34-inch. No resolutions were given, and it's not clear whether 700 Hz will be a native refresh rate or a dual-mode setting at a lower resolution. TCL is starting smaller, with its Gen 5.5 line set to ship 27-inch UHD 120 Hz IJP OLED panels in Q3 2026 for an MSI content-creation monitor. If the 2028 timeline pans out, TCL could be the first to mass-produce IJP OLED monitor panels at Gen 8.6.Good sign for TCL's inkjet printed RGB OLED roadmap as they already are supplying MSI with their 27" 4K@120hz panels as we speak which should go on sale in Janaury for $699.https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/msi-unveil-the-worlds-first-inkjet-printed-oled-monitor-in-their-pro-max-rangeMore competition for Smasung & LG.
>>110073723They are using Qwen 3.8 27B in testing it's funny because you can do the same ona 16GB VRAM card is you use a Qwen3.8 27B GSQ RCO from ISTA-DASLab and it will probably be faster and better.

Should I upgrade/downgrade my CPU from 5900X to 5800X3D? GPU is 5090 and I don't like that my fps is low.But sometines I compile/process stuff, so having 24 threads is nice.Upgrading to AM5 will be 1.5k$ adventure, not worth it.
>>110077791>my CPU from 5900X to 5800X3D? GPU is 5090I can't believe there are people running such a combo, but in the 0.00001% chance yes the X3D will massively benefit such a CPU.
The PC store nearby me is having a GPU sale. $200 off on both the 9070 xt and the the 5070ti.which one should I go for?
>>110078075If you have to ask, then you can't afford the 5070ti. Get the 9070xt.
>>110078102I can afford the 5070ti I'm just wonder if its worth it
When NVME SSD's were first introduced, I thought we were heading toward a golden age of cheap mass storage. If big bulky harddrives were ~$40 per Terabyte then surely this little SSD (the size of a stick of gum) would be considerably less, right?

What is the use case of putting anigay characters inside your pc?
can a 750w psu handle the 9070xt?
>>110079544Depends if you have other components and the form factor of your MB. In my opinion 750W is the bare minimum.
>>110079580I got a i5-12600k b760m3 fans a thermalright aio
>>110079585>intcelKek
>>110079594I bought it 6 years ago with my first paycheck....
>>110079585I used the Newegg "power supply calculator" which gives a very raw estimate of your power supply needs. So if I were you I'd get a 1000W modular PSU, that's like 100€ and some dust, just to have room for all the components.
>>1100795449070 XT is a ~300W TDP card, 750W is more than plenty assuming you've got an otherwise normal consumer build.
>>110073723>Still using Gaymes to measure GPU performancekek
>>110078108Within a few months of unveiling DLSS5 (usable DLL, not just the official release), Nvidia has halved the performance cost of using it. It is still heavy but 50% of the cost (added on milliseconds of processing time) is a lot.This is known as "making the right choice" and "being a creature with long term abstract planning".
What was the technology that would cap your FPS to a multiple of your refresh rate, like if your monitor was a 240hz it'd cap it to 120, 240 or 360 etc whichever it could run atIs it worth using?
If you use framegen then youre brown
>>110079699Niggas gonna burn their GPUs connector using that tensor power virus
>5060ti>DLSS 4.5How can I find out which model is the best? Should I leave it on auto?
>>110079795Theres a specific model for when you do path tracing and it combines ray reconstruction and upscaling. Otherwise its fine to just auto pilot
>>110079726If you use framegen at 50-60 base fps then youre brown*if you use framegen at 120 base fps you're a rich white man im the former myself, spiritually
>>110073723lmao you nigger fucking shits you deleted my posts?oh you humongous lying faggot
>>110079820>ray reconstructionI see. I don't do this 90% it's too much for my PC.RT is still so 'expensive', but DLSS is good for AA.

Back in 2022 i built a gaming pc for a friend and like many people did back then i went with a rtx 3060 Today i paid him a visit and discovered that he hooked it to a small 720p tv and has been using it that way for the last 4 years almost 5

>>110080019He's a stoner white guy so in a certain way he's a nigger
Are those chinese ddr3 motherboard for xeon 2k processors are worth for cheap linux pc?
>>110080548If you don't care about awful power consumption sure.
I just bought 1500€ worth of a hardware upgrade from Amazon. I have never spent that much for PC parts before, a full high-mid-range build including the monitor and peripherals in 2019 cost me 1200€. I almost feel sick. On top of that I have no idea if I'm able to install them without shitting something up. I have examined every single specification down to the tenth of a millimeter to see if everything matches and qualifies, yet I'm still doubtful.Please tell me it's gonna be alright.
>>110080762Nigga just build it
>>110080548get an x99 ddr3 cpu. you get more room to upgrade and avx2 instructions. i have an x79 cpu and i can't play bloodborne ;-;
Planning on a new computer, going from a Ryzen 3600 to a 9850X3D, any recommendations for motherboards? My current one is a MSI Tomahawk and I don't believe I've had any issues with it over the past 7 years or so, are the AM5 MSI boards fine?>>110080762You'll be fine, the vast bulk of it is just fancy electronic Lego or less annoying Meccano. Take your time, read the instructions for each bit and you're there.
>>110080918sapphire makes mobos, got myself the x870 purei don't trust any mainstream mobo manufacturer at this point, they're all retarded
>>110080762What parts are you upgrading?
>>110080927Your mum
>>110080926That's a good shout, thanks
>>110080918MSI is still making solid boards. Tomahawk is one of the cheapest boards with POST code display. X870 is in reality just B650E with USB4.0 support.X870E is X670E with USB4.0.So don't spend too much on motherboard it's not worth it.Avoid AssRock because they have higher than normal chance of killing your X3D chip.
>>110080918I only remember one anon complaining about the WiFi on a specific older MSI board but otherwise they tend to be still good. I like Asus but their good boards are expensive and riddled with sometimes pretty stupid gimmicks like the original q release slim.
>>110080762idk lad i always start sweating during builds and i've done it plenty of timesbut i've never destroyed anything
>>110081025That only happens if you have high melanin. Sad
>>110079706half rate vsync, 1/3 vsync, etc.
I sold my 5070ti because it had nonstop driver issueswhen is nvidia going to fix their drivers on linux & windows they are worse than amd nowNvidia forums are nothing but driver issues unresolved for months if not yearsNvidia mega thread is full of driver issues on reddit and also on guru3d that place is older than 4chan and it's nonstop Nvidia issues there.>NVIDIA says 617.70 resolves some, but not all, cases of the black-screen issue. The company continues investigating the remaining cases>NVIDIA recommends opening NVIDIA Control Panel, selecting Manage 3D Settings, and changing Power Management Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance.>A separate problem involving G-SYNC becoming unavailable after a monitor wakes from sleep also remains under investigation.Yeah bro just disable VRR & make your GPU run at 150+ Watts at idle to "mitigate" the Nvidia driver issuesThe whole fukken world has driver issues on Nvidia on both Windows & Linux anyone saying it just works it's a fucking lying bitch faggotIm talking driver timeouts, crashes, stutterings, low frame rates, screen flickering, issues with multi monitor setup, the gpu itself behaving erratically
>>110081225Yeah Nvidia is terrible hardware & software now. If the GPU doesnt catch on fire then your drivers will!
>>110081225t. AMDjeet
Want to know what exactly caused this to avoid next time if I ever make a new build if anyone has any ideas.>go on holiday for 2 and a half weeks>leave pc off, with PSU plugged in but power switched off and wall socket switched off.>come back, PC works fine for a few days>suddenly on the 4th day my external usbs keep disconnecting and reconnecting>Close what i'm doing, give the PC a quick restart>board LED lights up on DRAM>Test all parts that I can by swapping out to older known good parts and rule out RAM, CPU and PSU>Replace motherboard and it all works fine again (every other part used again)Motherboard was Asus B550-F Wifi II (replaced with the same motherboard) , running 7700XT and 5800X with 2x16gb corsair vengeance lpx ddr4 3600mhz. The system ran perfectly for 3 years with zero issues before this and the case was only ever opened up for dusting and reapplying thermal paste once a year aside from CPU/GPU upgrades.Only things I can think of aside from the PC being left for a few weeks was that the BIOS was a year out of date, and I swapped from the Radeon default drivers to the "optional" drivers the day before because Witcher 3 was saying my drivers were out of date.
>>110081225>they are worse than amd nowThis has to be bait.
>>110080918Thank you Anon.>going from a Ryzen 3600 to a 9850X3D, any recommendations for motherboards?First of all I don't advise the 9850X3D but rather the 9800X3D becuse the xx50 variant is a big fat meme. It gives a max 1.5% performance boost but with more than 20% more power consumption, 10°C more in use, and it costs at least 60€ more. It's a literal meme.I suggest the X870E series from ASUS but not ASrock because I read it cooks the CPUs. Either the Prime or above-range depending on your needs. I just got a ProArt X870E because I need the SATA ports but I would have gotten the Prime if it had more than 2 ports. It's also 200€ less. I like ASUS.>>110080927I'm upgrading your mum to a granny, congratulations.I'm changing mobo, CPU, heatsink, and RAM of course. Good deals from Amazon but I'm stressing out, but it's just probably the coffee I should be fine.It's the computer case and GPU and drives I keep. It's already a decent build here that I have, but with the upgrades I should get a three-fold boost in performances. 1500€ almost annihilated my bank account but selling the current hardware I should be able to tank it down to 900-1100€ of an upgrade.>>110081025To be completely honest I drank a whole mug of thick black coffee early this morning and I rinsed my lunch sandwich with a Red Bull, just after ordering the parts and before posting. It's making me sweat but in reality as the caffeine is leaving my body and I'm coming back to my senses it should actually be alright. The motherboard as EZ Flash and the anti-crash BIOS update functionality, I have spent more than 3 days scouring every part of the computer Internet to be sure I'm not doing wrong, I have also bought a bundle of coloured USB sticks to put every update/OS/backups on...Thanks for the encouragement.
>>110081281Forgot to mention but did also replace the CMOS battery just in case but didn't do anything either. PC would not post at all until the motherboard was replaced.
>>110081225If this was real then youre a Dumbass
>>110081271>>110081309>>110081383anyone saying it just works is a fucking lying bitch faggot
>>1100812259070xt chads won
>>110081313Odd that the 9850X3D isn't much of an upgrade at all, from what I could see it's only about a £10 difference, but if it's running hotter for so little gain I'll save the tenner and get the 9800X3D instead.
>>110081400Skill issue. You can even see on reddit that its a non issue
>>110081400Are you really that loser you using GPU for Gayming ?
>>110073723Does swapping a 7800x3d for a 9800x3d make sense in any scenario? Or is the performance gap not significant enough?
The BIWIN 48gb 6000mhz cl28 ram i bought for 640 last week is 800 now. Shit is wild yo. Grabbed a 270k for under 300 too
>>110081465In gaming it makes no senseThen zen 6 cpus are coming out where you might go for a 12 core ccd, so you get multicore perf + and hopefully slightly better gaming perf + better cooling since the x3d is at the bottom
>>110081465Only if you have money to burn.Zen6 soon™ as well.
>>110081478Is that going to be on a new socket? And would I still be able to use my PC-6000 RAM with it?
>>110081648its same am5 socket obviously
