Is the 24G2ZE/BK a bloody TN or IPS monitor? The retailers can't seem to decide.

>>101235790
Thanks for answering from previous thread.
Just one question, if it's medium/high end range, how come it's much cheaper than its counterparts? At least here, it's 130 bucks while all the others are over 180usd

>>101235839
who knows
look up prices on these drives:
Adata premium, s70/blade, xpg sage
Asgard AN4
HP FX900 Pro
Kingspec XG7000 Pro
Klevv CRAS C930
Lexar NM800(PRO)
Mushkin Vortex Redline
Neo Forza NFP400
Patriot Viper VP4300
Plextor M10P
Team G50/G70 PRO

they all use the same controller, although some use cheaper/shittier flash memory or lesser configurations of the controller

aoc says IPS
it's probably not IPS though, it's probably "IPS type" which includes many similar panel types like PLS and AHVA (confusingly, not VA type)

>>101235889
>it's probably not IPS though
I looked at the manual and they say it's a TFT LCD.

I wish BH hadn't stopped selling the aoc 24g4. No one else in the US has it.

>>101235949
"TFT LCD" describes all modern LCDs, it is not a specific panel type -- all TN, IPS, VA LCDs are all "TFTs"
it's like saying "internal combustion automobile"

Thanks to whatever genius threw the 500hz 1440 Alienware QD-OLED in the list of approved monitors in the OP knowing that it has constant adaptive sync tearing and flickering that you can’t turn off. Can’t imagine how many happy chappies spent 800 dollons on that because of you

Is the Gigabyte M27Q X HDR KVM still good value for money at $425 these days or are there better high refresh 1440p panels now at or below this price point?

Not worth buying a 1080p monitor these days. 1440p DLSS Quality looks better than 1080p TAA, and 1440p DLSS Performance looks better than 1080p DLSS Quality, and the performance cost is basically the same in both comparisons. You have the 1440p Balanced option as well when optimizing settings. Always better to turn whatever base resolution you can run into a higher resolution with DLSS

using an RTX 4090 for that comparison is highly disingenuous as AD102 has gross amounts of tensors to perform the necessary upscaling calculations -- the performance hit on a lesser GPU will be more like 4+ milliseconds, limiting you to no more than 60-70 FPS in the first place

1440p, I struggle to get anything above 80 frames in Fortnite. I have everything set to go 165, I know for sure because when I set everything to low it runs 165 fine
New Vegas also runs like shit, but I think that's more the engine being bad than whatever the fuck is happening with my card
Is there some Radeon software setting I have to configure? I'm completely lost right now

>>101236233
Are there 2160p 144Hz versions of these monitors by any chance?

I don't understand, what is the problem with buying a higher resolution monitor and playing the game at a lower resolution if your GPU cannot handle rendering something natively at a high resolution? Even without fancy new shit like upscaling.

>>101236306
Gsync compatible is just the result of Nvidia doing their usual niggerism by charging a tax on Gsync monitors so everyone started flocking to freesynch instead and now there's this Gsync without Gsync thing as a cope.

Nothing triggers me like the retards calling 1440p "2K" who then refuse to accept that 2K is actually 1920x1080 when you correct them

Absolutely wrong and retarded. Less than 1 ms on a 4070

Note how much better quality the 4K DLSS Performance is over the 1080p DLAA.

>>101236233
The Dell should be cheaper. At $75 more for the 27QS, it's more debatable. The extra refresh rate on the 27QS is a nice to have.

>>101236459
If you've got a 32" monitor, 1080p is going to look like ass on it. 1440p isn't as bad at 32", about the same pixel density as 1080p at 24". But obviously, you want the full 2160p at 32" to get the sharpness you'll have become accustomed to on desktop. There's also the quibble of non-integer multiple scaling (e.g, 1440p displayed on a 2160p grid).

>Dual Intel Xeon E5-2683v4, 16c32t each - $75 for the pair

I need a PC to crunch data for encoding and rendering as well as host a variety of services. It seems there's a lack of modern consumer level Xeon CPUs that aren't stupid money. These are Broadwell architecture CPUs.

>>101236530
1440p inches already feels huge going from 1080p 24 inch, I don't know how I'd handle 2160p at 30 inches. Don't know how I'd be able to get comfortable going from 24 to 27 in the context of a gaming display either.

You're definitely running into Radeon's DX11 driver overhead in New Vegas. Fortnite should be running faster even with a weak CPU in the DX11 mode, but keep in mind that if you're actually maxing it out in DX12 mode (with Nanite and RT/Lumen enabled), yes, you're going to get low frames

>>101236459
The higher the resolution, the more latency a monitor will have iirc, pros stilll run 24"/1080p because it just is the fastest combo
non native resolution also adds input lag vs render scale

It's been spotted for $600 at Microcenter. That said when you're buying these expensive ass cards you might as well be a good goy and pay the Nvidia tax, not that much more for a 4070 ti Super. AMD makes more sense from the 7900 GRE below.

I don't see any win in terms of FPS, at least nothing substantial. And considering your benchmark is with TSR Quality, we know who wins in image quality. DLSS is far better than TSR, FSR, or even XeSS at low resolution.

>>101237261
Userbenchmark can tell you about your system as a whole, e.g., give you easy storage benchmarks. 3DMark has a demo on Steam, or of course you could pirate the full version. There is also a Unigine benchmark. Cinebench is decent for CPU

Absolutely not. The 4070 Ti Super is far better for another $100

That was my first choice actually, but between the price and the fact that my current desk isn't suited for the depth of its stand ruled it out. The monitor shelf is just over 9 inches wide.

Why the silent BIOS?

According to your experience, what's the most durable, long-lasting motherboard brand? I once used an ASRock motherboard, but it broke after I used it for daily overclocking and only lasted two years. What do you think of MSI or Gigabyte?

Can anyone summarize where things are at concerning Ryzen 9000 / Zen 5 and how it's going to compare to whatever Intel is planning to release as a competitor? Really only care about gaming.

https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/intel-bundle-and-save.aspx
You can buy the cheapest CPU bundle.
buy a 4070, but I should warn you that you may not need more than a 2060 for $100 or less on facebook marketplace or ebay because you need to play games on ultra settings for it to matter, because streamers stream at 60fps. Like it's nice to have more FPS outside streaming or ultra raytracing, but it's not a requirement, it's a want not a need.
also it's possible 50 series nvidia might pull out some scam that makes 40 series cards obsolete (but that's a random guess).
And don't pretend like the 2060 is a 60fps card, that's only the case for cyberpunk (100fps 1080p low, but you want a 60fps frame limiter) or other games, it hits 200fps on high when you play some esports games or 99% of indie games.
You should get a 4070 or better for VR from what I have heard and depending on the games or headset.
I would suggest 1080p, I am not a streamer however, but I predict that 1440p does not make sense. QD-OLED is pretty sick, does not exist in 1080p, but it's 10x the price of a IPS 1080p display.

*I would not get the AMD 5800X3D bundle, it's pretty poor value (but the 7700X is pretty expensive too, it's a poor match for a 2060 GPU unless you plan on waiting for 50 series GPU's, also if the 2060 is used, make sure your CPU has a IGPU so it doesn't need a GPU if it's faulty and you can spend longer looking at used cards).
I suggest poor fagging because you will learn a lot from what you don't have and you must be in the AAA game demographic to enjoy high specs. I would argue that the cost of buying a low spec PC + capture card + ps5 / xbox series X would give the same performance + certain benefits like gta 5 or game pass (and it would be cheaper if you got the console used).
However I am a disgusting game pirate so a console would cost a lot more for me.

Quick question lads, going on holiday for 10 days. Should I shutdown my pc or unplug it from the wall? Sorry for the noob question. New rig, new to pc gaming. I always shutdown at night but just wondering what’s good practice for when you’re away for days. I live in the south of England so power outages aren't really a thing. Don’t care about the money saving aspect, just wanna know what’ll protect the PC.

AIO or air cooler for the 7800X3D?

>>101239445
Yeah sure go ahead and unplug it if it's convenient. Or turn it off at the wall if you have switched sockets. Just remember to shut it down properly before that if you have Windows installed.

>>101239489
Air is fine. AIO if you're going for a silent build.

>>101239506
Got it. Do I need to flick the PSU switch before unplugging at the wall?

>>101239539
That'd be redundant so not really. They both break the physical connection.
Here's the deal, switching it off at the outlet will protect you against a power surge. Unplugging it altogether would be good for a lightning strike. Frankly neither of those are particularly likely but you'll kick yourself if you don't.

>>101241345
Both are pretty overkill for a casual/gaming rig so buy the cheaper one. If you're actually doing something that benefits from PCIe 4 bandwidth then it depends on the workload specifics. To simplify, the SN770 is superior for sustained IO while the KC3000 is stronger at burst. These are minor differences, however, and both perform well in all situations.

The thing is that in my cunt, the difference between a DRAMless one and a non-cucked one is twice the price. It's retarded for the 2TB variant. I could go with the 1TB with DRAM but again it's the same price as a 2TB without it.

If you are playing games do not consider a 75Hz display no matter how cheaper. Also that's a horrible deal at $120 because for you can get a 165Hz IPS model for $100 after instant-coupon on Amazon right now:

Is $260 for the VG249QM1A too expensive for a 1080p display?

>>101242417
How much have you got to spend?
Broadly speaking you're looking at these brackets for gaming:
<$100
1080p 60-75Hz IPS or TN at lower budgets
$100-200
1080p/144, 1440p/75 (occasionally 144+ on sale) IPS
$200-400
1440p/144+, 4k60-75 IPS. Main reason to go over $300 would be better contrast (1200:1).
1080p/300+ also in this bracket for esportsfags.
$400+
4k/144+ IPS, 1440p/144 fast VA
$800+
OLED and MiniLED. Resolution to taste at this price range.

According to this article;
>It is worth noting that the initial model was to be offered with a TN screen, but eventually the manufacturer abandoned the idea and the device eventually went on sale in the fall of 2021, taking the chance to use IPS. For this reason, some stores may have incorrect specifications, indicating the use of a TN panel. In reality, however, the reference is to IPS.

tl;dr AOC wanted to use a TN panel originally but backtracked and went for IPS instead, so this 24G2ZE/BK *should* be an IPS display

I bought 1080p display in 2008. This is my opinion of 1080p displays.

>>101242638
I bought 2160p display in 2016...

>>101242567
anything over $100 is too much to spend on a 1080p panel

>>101242686
Most 1080p IPS panels retail for $125-$180. If you want high refresh rates, that goes up to $220-$270.

>>101242657

That's backwards. The fans are part of often overbuild systems. Six fans working a little bit will be a lot quieter than one fan working its ass off

Is double the money really worth it for such a jump? How much do you gain from that?

It gets spicy when you pair that with the ongoing instability of certain models. I bet inside of the nest 2 years we'll see a lot of high end chips (like 13700k, 13900k and their 14th counterparts) hitting ebay as they become unstable and uncoolable as nothing can mount to them anymore perhaps outside of what noctua is offering.

>>101243478
>What are the fastest keyboards
Unless you are going turbo autist (which if you were 200 shekels wouldn't be enough) anything with a low actuation force switch is fine. The cherry reds are the classic go-to but there are a bajillion variants from other companies like gateron, kailh and Outemu to name three well known brands.

What should I buy to make long-term backups to keep in a drawer? A DVD player/writer? DVDs don't have a lot of space though, and I don't know if rewritable ones keep information on them for years.

So I looked into the motherboard just to make a double check.
I have both NVME slots occupied. The PCIEX16_1 has my 4090.
Since that shit's massive, the PCIEX16_2 is also unavailable.
I want to place the PCIe to NVMe adapter on PCIEX16_3.

Will I have any issue? Seems like it doesn't share any bandwidth with the other PCIEX slots, only the small one (#4).

With the help of my psychiatrist, I've come to realize recently that I'll probably be this way for the rest of my life and I'm ok with that. Obviously it won't come as a surprise that it's almost impossible for me to make social connection with people, let alone have a relationship with a girl that would lead to sex, basically I've been masturbating daily for the past 25 years or so. I've never been able to stop for more than 72 hours. I'm not gaming anymore so I was wondering if a Sony X720E TV (4K HDR) connected to my PC would give me a better porn watching experience vs let's say a 1440p 60Hz monitor?

In the case of the 3060 vs 4060, that performance is sub-60 FPS at 1080p in UE5 and other modern games, so the VRAM is basically a non-issue, as you'll mostly be playing older or non-demanding games anyway. It's a trade off between VRAM and DLSS Frame Gen, but there are a couple of complications, in that Frame Gen requires VRAM and the 4060 is an x8 lane card (as opposed to the 3060's x16 lanes), and that can hamper the card, especially if it's not running over a PCIe 4.0 bus. The 4060 is slightly more performant in general.

Depending on the size of your case and how much room you have to work with, you'll want to cable up your (modular) PSU before installing it.
You should also plug in the CPU 8-pin EPS power cable before installing the CPU heatsink

What are we thinking about new Ryzens?

Need it or Sneed it? Wait for X3D?
I want to build a PC sometime soon, but it's been so long I legitimately have no clue what parts are good anymore. I haven't been keeping up at all.

Can anyone give me a quick rubdown what's the best value Nvidia GPU right now (that's actually strong) and whether new Ryzens might be worth it?

1080p on 1440p looks like shit due to how the pixels are stretched. but 1080p on 4k should look okayish since each pixel is 4 pixels, right? or is it also fucked?
talking in general, vidya, movies, whatever.

>>101247087
>what's the best value Nvidia GPU right now (that's actually strong)

1440p 4070 super
4k 4080 but ideally 4090

While I think FSR 3.1 is largely a disappointment, as it doesn't even get near XeSS, subjectively a lot of people think it's an upgrade.
Comments like
>1440p Performance FSR3.1 is better than 1440p Quality FSR2.2
etc. lead me to be believe that the average retard might find FSR3.1 to be 'good enough' given the lesser price of Radeon. But I'll wait for more in depth analysis

>>101246726
Regarding the slots, the PCIe to NVMe adapter will be fine in the one you suggested. I don't think drives with DRAM increase endurance (i.e., drive lifespan) substantially. Modern drives use the system RAM to buffer, and they can convert empty space to pMLC for fast writing. If you're getting a TLC drive, which you probably are, for example when a 4 TB drive is empty, it has a 1.3 TB cache that's extremely fast. It eats 500 MB for lunch.

>>101246813
>stuttering
Not a GPU problem, a game engine problem. A faster CPU will help, but not much.

>1440p 4070 super
I intend to play on 1080p but I want beefy frame excess since the new PC is supposed to be future-proof at least a decade or so.
4070 Super was actually my shortlist pick. Do you think that'll do, anon?

is the hyper m2 slot for special nvme ssd's?
i installed mine in a normal slot

if you buy radeon you are worse than hitler.

>>101247136
>at least a decade
only 4090 will last you nearly as long. 4070 super should last you until next gen consoles get released + 1 year or so, because by then anything below 24gb vram will be insufficient -- no, it won't matter than 16gb is a shitton for 1080p, nobody optimizes shit nowadays
but yes, 4070 super is probably the sweet spot pick from what's currently available for 1440p and is more than enough for 1080p for however long until next consoles release

>>101246709
Not $20 but sellers regencytechnologies and hitexstore will randomly have good auctions. Rhinotechnologygroup has an overwhelming amount of stuff if you're into /hsg/ autism or just want a HDD. For ~$30-40 you can look around for m.2 pcie expansion cards. Shit like cables and mounts, USB 3 flashdrives etc. too if you think you'll ever need them.

>>101247095
1080p on a 4k monitor of normal size (27"+) will look bad by dint of density. A different kind of bad, sure, but not something you'd want to do if you can avoid it. For games we have good upscalers if your card can't handle 4k but movies and TV should ideally be viewed natively. Still, if you insist on naive upscaling then integer scaling is generally visually superior.

>>101245270

it's pleasant to the touch but i have issues with my mouse working really weirdly near the edges, where the black/yellow pattern is.

>>101247200
My 1060 is around 7 to 8 years old now, it's alright. My fans died and I had to get them replaced, but it can't keep up anymore.
>until next gen consoles are released
So basically never.
>4070 super is probably the sweet spot pick from what's currently available for 1440p and is more than enough for 1080p
That's what I thought. Thanks anon. I guess new Ryzens are still are mystery to all. I might bite the bullet and get them if they're really cheaper than 7000s though.

Probably not with RT. I would use the DLSS mod before bothering to upgrade your graphics card, as the stuttering isn't GPU related.

>>101246838
Elden Ring is not a demanding game without RT

>>101246832
Unfortunately, there's not really a better card. The (((((low end)))))) sucks these days. I'd up the budget until you can get a 4070 or 4070, or maybe a used 3080 if you can find one cheap enough.

>>101246948
I would suggest the AOC because of HDR.

Don't bother waiting if you're gaming. The 7800X3D will still be the best gaming CPU until the 9800X3D gets released, and it'll likely be a lot more expensive for not much performance boost over the older chip.

The best strong but (((((good))) value Nvidia graphics card is the 4070 Super.

>>101247095
For video games you use DLSS if you can't run full resolution. The problem with videos isn't the non-1:1 pixels, it's the fact that you're stretch low resolution 1080p to a much larger screen.

>>101247136
1080p is a garbage resolution at this point. Especially if you have the budget for a 4070 Super, you should get a 1440p monitor, preferably one that's HDR capable like the Q27G3XMN. Always better to turn whatever resolution you can run into a higher resolution with reconstruction (preferably DLSS).

>>101247200

Can only hope AMD isn't too cocky to aggressively drop prices soon after release again. There's nothing about the parts that would make somebody want to get them anywhere near day 1 at MSRP but they seem good. Just get 7800x3d

>But I'll wait for more in depth analysis
there's already been a couple of channels on youtube like s2bench that tested the same scenarios that show FSR2.1 and 2.2's weaknesses and those same weaknesses appear in 3.1, the disoclussion and pixelization and bad particle effects when things get moving on the screen
the only difference from earlier FSR upscaler versions is that there is a reactive mask to add a bit of blur to areas that would've gotten pixelated. the garbled disoclussion is still there and the detail isn't actually any better, the damage is just partially replaced with smearing instead of just pixelization now
retards online will praise 3.1 just because number go up = better, and because of underdog effect

So you're telling me that 1440p displays aren't inherently more laggy than 1080p displays and that I've just been using a latency-burned piece of shit to try and play games for the last few years as opposed to doing pure office work? Because holy shit. No wonder my 24MP55HQ-P felt faster and snappier.

I have a weird problem with my fans
My PC is making a noise that sounds like a fan hitting a cable as it spins, except that's not what it is. I don't see a cable hitting any fan and I physically stopped each fan to make sure
It seems to be a problem with a fan though, because the noise is only audible as my fans ramp up

>>101248744
Displays evolve anon. That plasma you had back in the day or saw at the store was laggy as shit compared to a modern TN.

>>101248633
Arctic MX-4 just werks for me

>>101248741
On a technical level yes but on a practical level? Well that is where things get complicated as there is not a simple yes/no answer to the question as temperature alone doesn't tell the whole story.

>>101248741
CPUs/GPUs are designed to run at tjmax for their entire lifespan. Anything under is better.

i hought there were supposed to be two pci-e cables that go into the 4070 super, there's only a singular plug for a 12vhpwr cable

>>101248811
I say, because even comparing the 2700Q to modern sub-$300 gaming displays seems to put the color gamut to shame on this thing as far sRGB and Adobe RGB goes, at least on paper.
https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/b7c02bd48c
Now I'm slightly hesitant to even buy a new monitor right now because of how quickly it might become obsoleted. Even if at $220 this is relatively inexpensive for what it does.

>>101248605
That Corsair PSU is semi-passive. It starts spinning up every couple of minutes and then stops, forever. I sold it because I couldn't take it. Bought a Bequiet that always has a fan spinning.

A better CPU won't help you with new games much (as the GPU will usually be the limiting factor), and the CPU you have is good enough for old games even if it limits the 2080 occasionally. If you wanted to spend like $225 to get a better CPU while saving more for a new graphics card (and possibly a new monitor), that would be a good starting place. But I can't recommend spending money at all without a commitment to finish the job (maybe when new midrange graphics cards drop in the first part of next year), unless you maybe have some specific game in mind in which you want better performance

>>101249361
Use the native 12VHPWR if possible, avoiding adapters

>>101249051
It's a VA, and from what I've seen the it has the typical black smearing (aka slow pixel transitions from black). The AOC Q27G3XMN doesn't have quite as many zones, but it's got a faster VA panel, and it's a lot cheaper when you can find it in stock.

That's lowest settings, targeting 900p with FSR Ultra Performance, so starting from 300p. It's going to look horrible.

>under 200w?
Keep in mind also that if your PSU is a standard 80% efficiency, it'll be drawing 250W to supply 200W to the system.

At $120, the RX 6400 is a waste of money. The RTX 3050 6 GB (has to be the 6 GB, not the 8 GB) is the best option for a low wattage card, and you'll have access to DLSS, which will make the best of a bad situation. You want to buy a used system like this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/364974399799
And then drop in the RTX 3050 6 GB, possibly a low profile variant if a normal sized one can't fit in the case. You'll also want to check the BIOS for any kind of power saving mode for the i5 10600

>>101250505

Honestly, probably the best option if you don't need all the other benefits of PC and just want to play SW: Outlaws. You can also more easily resell the system later. You can get an open box Series S for like $200, and I'm pretty sure that includes a controller
