I have a 4770k & a 1070. thinking of upgrading sometime in the first half of next year. looking at a 265k & 5080 targeting 1440p (4k looks unachievable)

sound reasonable?

>>102014827
>getting a 5080 without moving to 4K

What a waste. Leave your ancient monitor tech behind already. Crispy text and optimized DLSS await. DLSS performance at 4K will run nearly as well as base 1080p and look better than 1440p native. Hail to the king baby

>>102014827

MSI says the 4070 super gaming slim needs just 650w psu. The card chugs ~250w according to benchmarks.
I have 650w corsair mx 80 bronze in my current rig and a 1070 which chugs ~185w. Am I going to explode? All other 4070 were saying they need 750w.

enthusiast pc gaming has been dead since 2009 at least. every single god damn game that requires new hardware has none of the amenities or mechanics that made pc gaming stand apart from console gaming back in the day, and all the pc exclusives that are worth shit all run on god damn toasters anyway, everything else is just console gaming with rgb with server binaries under lock and key in blasphemous kubernetes clusters fostering literal biomechanical monoculture corpodrones known as nu-gamers

>>102015199
No. Technology is advancing so fast and is cheap that you'll need to upgrade sooner. It's a great thing, but be mindful when you spend lots of money on a build.
20 series was supposed to be the ray tracing revolution. An RTX 2070 was $500 MSRP and couldn't do ray tracing and is completely worthless today.
Intel's own 14th gen i3 destroys their few generation old i9. Their upcoming Arrow Lake this year is supposed to be crazier than that.
Who knows what a 9800X3D will bring.

Just buy the shit you need for today, future proofing doesn't exist and never did.

why has the adaptive sync problem not been solved yet? gsync is the only one that does it correctly but they effectively don't support it any more and it had latency issues. no one implements adaptive sync derivatives (freesync) correctly and so you get cucked 75% VRR scaling and/or unimaginable levels of ghosting

why is it so hard for all monitors to support 1hz to 60/144/240

>>102015317
Yes

future proofing always existed, but only for certain parts such as power supplies, cases, coolers, and in some cases motherboards (am2, am4, 775 come to mind)

in terms of raw power there is no nuance and you are correct thoughever

>>102015275
Console performance has become so good, especially at their price, that it really doesn't matter that much regardless of what /pcbg/ might tell you and the statistics don't lie. It's mostly an enthusiast hobby.

>>102015393

>>102015445
the appeal of pc gaming was never the performance ratio. back in the day no one even cared about how console games performed on pc. we were too busy modding and hosting servers for pc exclusives, and the casuals were left to their console devices. It was always about customization, modding, hosting servers (like hosting a clubhouse), being able to tune and tinker etc.

now the software (and even the hardware if you dont pay completely out the ass) is all console tier, and the pc gamers are all consolebrained lower-order animals it doesn't even matter, it's all locked down and server binaries are under lock and key in le black cube borg cloud so the intellectual property holders can assassinate the game when they want to sell you the next one, whether it is le 'live service' or not.

7800x3d definitely, I'm still on Zen 1 for fucks sake. The 4070 Ti requires a different question, at what resolution? If 1080p, probably, lowing some quality options. A 980 can still handle 30 fps AAA gaming to this day in 1080p, but using low presets. However, why would someone still be using 1080p monitors in 2034?

Hyte Y70 or Proart PA602 for my upcoming AM5 blackout build? Love the old school look of the PA602 but I also love the Y70, I don't find any other fishtank cases appealing except for this.

You would need workstation or server platform for that. Desktop CPUs don't have enough PCI-E lanes to support more than one x16 with full speed.
Best you can do is two x16 running in x8/x8 mode.

Is this an overkill build if I'm not sure if I'll be gaming or not? I'll mostly be using it for music production, dabbling in video editing and animating/digital painting. I might try 3d stuff, but it's another one of those things like gaming, that looks ni e to do but I might never do it.

Also, since I'm going to be going productivity-heavy with my use, I'm thinking of dropping the OLED and going with IPS instead. The Dell G3223Q looks like it could be a decent option from what I've seen so far. I've also thought about going straight for a huion display tablet, but I think having a separate regular display too is beneficial in the long run (for refs, etc.)

>>102016947
pretty much. i tend to prefer the driver side solutions myself because it's at least consistent even if less "detailed" than in-game implementations.

>>102017108
When you consider its DLSS performance which runs like you’re rendering at 1080p that genuinely is pretty black magic tier. I’ve never really looked into how big of a performance hit moving up to balanced/quality mode is. IME there is zero reason to not use quality mode DLSS in 4K as the actual image is literally indistinguishable or straight up better across the board depending on how shit the base games TAA implementation is

>Why AMD-generated gaming data differs from reviewer data: For our Ryzen 9000 launch, AMD internal labs generated data that showed a 9% average generational uplift in 1080P gaming versus Ryzen 7000 Series, and an average of 6% higher performance across more than 30 games when compared against the competition’s best. >Not all reviews are seeing these results, and this reflects the complexity of high-performance PC testing today given the number of system and software variables. There are several factors specifically creating these differences in some Ryzen 9000 reviews:
>The AMD gaming test suite includes a broad set of esports, AAA, and popular older games, which are a combination of CPU- and GPU-bound titles. Game performance conclusions can be influenced significantly by the makeup of the test suite.
>AMD tested Intel configurations using comparable DDR5-6000 memory as well as Intel default settings-baseline power profile which can have a small impact on gaming performance.
>AMD also tests with Windows Virtualization-based Security (VBS) enabled. This is the default Windows behavior and Microsoft recommends activating VBS to improve security, however it can affect gaming performance.
>The “Zen 5” architecture incorporates a wider branch prediction capacity than prior “Zen” generations. Our automated test methodology was run in “Admin” mode which produced results that reflect branch prediction code optimizations not present in the version of Windows reviewers used to test Ryzen 9000 Series. We have a further update on accessing this performance for users below.

Get out of that mindset. "Good time to buy" is a trap. There is never a good time to buy. The next best thing is always around the corner.

depends on how much voltage you need to shove into them
if they can do 3200CL16 they should do 3600CL18 or 4000CL19 for free, but you will need more voltage for better timings

oh yeah btw you should put more of your focus into the secondary timings
especially with 4 sticks this matters a lot more than reducing the CAS latency
it's more of a nice freebie if you can do it without the sticks overheating or running at dangerous voltages

I heard that the MSI was pretty good and that I should go for the ATX 3.0 and gold. To make sure its ATX 3.0, apparently I have to get a 1000w PSU which would be an extra 30 which is a lot. Does it make that big a difference to get a seasonic?

as a heater? for sure

Trying to set up living room gaming PC. Want to fit case inside of TV stand. I have a HAF XB EVO which is the perfect dimensions to fit in the cube-like space. Got all of my components. Turns out my 4080 super is too big to fit an AIO radiator in front of the case. OK no problem, air cooler will perform just as well and only be like another $40. Only issue is now the 200mm top-mounted case fan which was a huge part of the case's cooling strategy doesn't clear the heatsink. If the heatsink were maybe 5mm shorter it would be a perfect fit. And yes I measured ahead of time but I wanted to be extra sure.

Old forum threads show some people mounted the fan outside of the case, which is too retarded for me. I can ditch said fan and lose the benefit of sucking heat from the entire case right out of the top. Thinking about trying a Silverstone Grandia 11 and going back to a AIO, but it's so wide that its side fans would get choked. I can use a 120mm AIO venting out of the back of the case, but that sounds kind of weak, need to do more research on temps for that.

Literally had the components for my build sitting around for so long I'm about to exit the return window for some of this shit.

>>102019016

>if you buy a $2000 GPU now, a couple of months before the new gen launch
Sure, if prices go down, bad.

But we aren't talking about investing. We are talking about getting a good card. Let's say you get 4090 card for $2000, and the 5090 comes out tomorrow, it's $2000 too. (it will probably be the most expensive nvidia card ever, actually, perhaps $5000, but let's suppose)

If your 4090 (I hate nvidia, we'll leave this aside) card is actually very close in performance to the new 5090, let's say 10%, then it's annoying, but you have to remember that you would have eventually had the slower card anyway. You need to balance not getting 10% more performance vs not getting to play games.

If you are a gamer, the question then is: is my hardware holding out?

Because as a gamer forgoing one day of gaming isn't worth it.

Now, that's the situation for the gamer:
1. If my hardware won't keep up (is keeping me behind) with my next game, I will upgrade immediately.
2. If my hardware will keep up, I still want to upgrade sometimes, so I can use for example rt (I hate videocard rt, but let's imagine it is actually good). I will be more reluctant to buy, but still it's my hobby, so I'll spend my extra money on upgrades, sometimes (but, since I am a gamer, mostly I buy games).

This changes if you have another hobby, like I do: photography. So, here are the rules for the gamer/photographer:

1. If my current PC won't keep up with my next game, then I will switch to photography until it's an optimal time to upgrade.
2. If my current PC is keeping up, I won't upgrade.

I hear the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE cooler has a clearance of 42mm but I can't find any information on the exact mm of the Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64GB

How do I know if it'll fit or not? I'm so damn nervous that I'll buy them and the cooler doesn't fit with the ram

>>102019251
just offset the fans a couple mm above and it will fit

>>102019251
You can move the fans up, they're just attached using metal clips.

ALSO!!!

The 5090 could have a 50% uplift, that's all.

If the 5090 costs 50% more than the 4090, then "the more you pay, the more you get"

>>102019273
That's exactly what I had to do, the clips are on the side, and you just move it up to put in tall rgb ram (it was on sale).

I did a different cooler, the whatever famous one, but it's the same.

arrowlake's e-cores can be efficient since it will get its vcore from the fivr and could theoretically pull only 1.1v while p-cores are using 1.5v. but preliminary clock speeds at 4.6ghz for the e-cores likely mean that they will use >1.3v at stock in which case your right, they wont be efficient at all

4K DLSS performance* it’s clearly about 50/50 depending on what you’re looking for and the game. Balanced and quality modes are a different story entirely.

modded OG cities skylines can easily eat all that 128gb ram and will force you to increase pagefile by a good 50gigs at least or it'll crash loading your city. been there.
Besides that I guess being able to run stuff like Stable Diffusion along other games at the same time as the SD models get loaded into ram.
>I mess with LLM's sometimes
yeah, aim for 128gb if you can. 64gb might not be enough if you like multitasking while messing with local AI stuff. 32gb ram will for sure not enough at all if you use AI along other shit.

I never really checked on it desu. All I know is I ran out of ram (yes all the 128gb) and the only solution to load my huge ass city was to increase pagefile by 50+gigs to make up for the "lack" of ram.
but then again, the mod list was like 250gb long or something around that number, on top of being a huge ass city with a mod that made population numbers more "realistic" (which in return made the game have 5+ times the population density numbers a vanilla game would ave)

1. I'm not sure if it comes with a cooler, there exist tray versions that, so double check. The stock cooler is ok tho, maybe not the most performant for the aggressive boosting of Ryzen. Upgrade to a Thermalright Phantom Spirit/Peerless Assassin if you can fit that in
2. You need to investigate your use cases, nvidia is usually overpriced. That card isn't a bad choice tho.
3. atx 3.0 is nice but not some magic bullet, I'd rather go with a known excellent manufacturer like seasonic
4. You do you, though there's really very few things that would need that much ram and can be done on a gaming pc (workstation/server workloads)

I forgot to mention: add another drive to separate data from OS. Don't put all your eggs in a single solid state basket.

Is it worth getting a 6800 non xt for $360 for 1080p gaming?

>>102019606
>it's not at all for ai
I don't even get to 40% utilization running stable diffusion with 32gb, what the fuck are you guys doing?

>>102019880
Maybe you're right about the seasonic. I've had a power supply fail on me not too long ago. I couldn't imagine if a failing PSU fried my brand new computer, maybe it's worth the extra cash. So I guess the Seasonic Focus V3 GX-1000 is the way to go to make sure its atx 3.0 then?

I think I'll get a thermalright cooler, the ryzen doesn't seem to have a cooler on closer inspection
Also I do plan to slot in my old HDD so I didn't include it in the build.

>>102019994
Yes. They are heavily tuneable as well (mpt to increase fclk, for some reason fabric clock of 6800 is very low stock compared to everything else).

They can handle 4k gaming without rt nevermind 1080p. I usually play at 1440p with my 6700xt and get 100+ fps, 4k drops to 50-60fps.

Looking to get a new monitor GPU is 7900 GRE so 27" 1440p probably safer even though I kinda want 32" 4k. Do not really want OLED but I mostly care about contrast and the viewing angle not being garbage so it seems like the only real option. Any thoughts between XG27AQDMG, 271QPX or AW2725DF?

When did this become a thing? The GPU slot is lower on the motherboard?

that's an extra 20mm of room for a CPU cooler. My concerns with the CPU cooler being too large are gone!

there are 85mm between the center of the CPU to the top of the GPU in my current system

the 90mm cooler means it take up 45mm, leaving me with 40mm clearance.

the new Motherboard has 105mm between the center of the CPU to the top of the GPU. Even if I got something huge like the Deep Rock 5 pro, that would leave me with 37.5mm. Even the unusually shaped Dark Rock TF 2 would leave me with 35mm!

depends where you live, it's really good if cheap, don't overpay for it ever

4k is fine on 7900, what I did is run games with VSR at 4k, and it handles them really well, even with some RT. I tired heavy hitters like TW3 with RT and 2077, 77 needs AFMF2 though.
MSI MAG 321UP if you can find it around $800. Or Samsung g80SD if you can find it under $1000. Samsung is very easy to calibrate that's why I recommend it.

VA option if you do not despise the glow and various smearing on blacks, Samsung Neo G7 is sitll the king.

how is it that the amd cards can get away with being so cheap despite having far more vram? mostly talking in 1440p gaymen.
is it really just down to nvidia having an edge in ray tracing and thats where the money has gone?

>>102021209
>and thats where the money has gone?
money has gone into 80% margins, anon
they could've sold 4070ti for $400 and still made profit

Meanwhile this is all you get with right click WITHOUT shift on Windows 10. Less options AND you have to move your fucking mouse further to boot. It's fucking insulting. I'd still be on Windows 7 with Windows 9x de if I had a choice. Windows 11 doesn't even let you use workarounds like THAT?

I have about $1k US dollars to build a midrange setup crammed into a mini-ITX case. My first idea was to get the Ryzen 5 7600 (65W) and a Radeon RX 7600XT, glued together to a Gigabyte A620i AX. Will going this cheap on the MB cause any problems? Do decent ITX builds need good money spent on them?

I know only of this, shift+rmb on desktop.

i havent had an amd card since the 7870 days but i'm seriously considering getting a 7800xt because they're so cheap compared to (what i understand to be) the 4070ti super counterpart. its like, half the price.
i dont overclock anyway. just want to play tarkov at 1440p at a comfortable 100-120hz

>>102021258
you get restore, minimize, maximize, move, size plus you dont have to move your mouse as far for close.

>>102021265
1. people use alt-f4 to close windows
2. use mouse to move windows and resize them, whole snap feature is for that
3. any half abled person knows how to flick mouse so it jumps to a point on screen in an instant
you don't know how to use a PC fast enough, those features aren't in w11 because nobody uses them.

>>102021088
>Why would they roll out a major scheduler update for an OS that's being EOL'd next year?
Because people have paid to get serviced until EOL. I wouldn't call it major either but basic level of support, providing service after EOL is extra but I'm not asking that.

>>102021261
Bruuther same my first build was a sapphire 7950 that lasted 3 years before artifacting and then a 1060 carried me to today. Abit hestitant on AMD but the super is like $140 more expensive than the GRE where I'm at. 7800xt counterpart is more of the 4070 though. The ti super is more like 7900xt range

>>102021261
it will carry you for a long while, specially with AFMF2

Update: I have installed the 5700x3d. Destiny 2 now runs at a constant 144, I never realized how badly the frames were dipping before. The even bigger surprise is Minecraft which loads up and boots into worlds instantaneously. Although actually moving around feels like I’m getting a lot of micro stuttering so I’ll have to look into that, maybe a fresh install will do. Tomorrow I’m going to try out Starfield although that game is so badly optimized I’m not expecting a big improvement.

>>102021252
I just did the same thing tonight with a 6600 instead.

>>102021293
1. people dont use alt-f4 to close windows, they click the top right corner. plus, alt f4 requires changing my stance and rotating my hand across the keyboard, no thanks. with shift+rmb i don't have to move my hand at all.
2. ctrl + shift + win + arrow key is better for that.
3. it is objectively slower to move the mouse up 20 pixels than it is to move it up 2 pixels, there is no argument to be had there at all. it's just stupid.

>>102021325
How is it? Any features you miss on the motherboard?

>>102021317
My old processor was a 3600x. It served me well but when I upgraded my gtx1080 to a 7800xt the bottleneck was immediately apparent. This little upgrade should allow me hold me off long enough for AM6 or Arrow Lake refresh. The reason I upgraded now is because black ops 6.

Ayyyymd still slow?

When I got my first widescreen monitor in mid 2000's I immediately switched the task bar on the left side of the monitor. I have extra vertical space, but limited horizontal space so the decision was obvious.
Windows 11 has other issues too like forced TPM adding latency to every interaction(even things as simple as mouse moving a mouse pointer) and less usable right click context menu. I suspect there are other 'features' I don't even know about since I'm not daily user. Overall impression is bad.

Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini a good case to build in? looks nice and the thermals seem pretty good.
Although it looks like air cooling for the cpu might be tricker vs an aio. I'm hesitant to go an aio cooler again given my last one had the pump fail

Looks promising, especially at that price range. I love my 7800xt so much I may have to pick this up on release especially if there’s a limited edition red devil again. Mainly for the ray tracing tech. I do graphics programming but I also really like the amd GPUOpen ecosystem. If this can reach 4070ti ray tracing performance then that will satiate my rt performance concerns.

Hi
I have an old office pc with:
i7 4790 cpu
b8m-g r2.0 motherboard
and 16 gigs of ddr3 ram

the cpu can't be upgraded without changing the motherboard, a 4790 is pretty much the most advanced one it can take
What is a gpu I could put on that thing which wouldn't be bottlenecked by the cpu and would let me play Elden Ring?
And would it be worthy to have 32 gigs of ddr3 ram instead of just 16?
I'm not interested in anything more than 1080 p + locked 60 fps. I would have to get a new monitor in my office for anything else and I'm not doing that, since I mostly use the pc for Microsoft Office things.

Thanks in advance

>>102021420
1060 or 580 can run elden ring at 40-60 fps

>>102021396
If i have no hopes i simply wont get disappointed

>>102021427
rx580 i mean, and that's at high settings

at medium you can prolly average 58 or so fps

>>102020619
It happened recently because of gen5 M2 drives

It's super cute, which I guess it what you're going for with a ITX. You are going to be super limited, but if you know what you're in for you don't really miss anything from a full ATX and so far it's doing what I want it to do. I also have my main PC in another room, but I wanted someone to manage my living room stuff with and was getting tired of upgrading consoles.

>>102020619
I think you need to divide all your mm figures by 10

>>102021427
>>102021440

is there a reason to pick the gtx 1060 over the new 6gb 3050?

>>102020686
Thanks for the info, will have to consider my options more since I still have not decided exactly which direction I want to go in.

Is the ASRock PG27QFT2A worth it at 240 bucks?

>>102021487
30% performance for +200% or more $. If you really want brand new bottom of the barrel then maybe look into rx6600 or whatever, it'll last you longer

>>102021462
Seems like no major complaints. I'll go ahead on this one.

Looking to upgrade from AM4
Whats the upgrade route here? I don't want to upgrade my 3070 so most probably AM5?

>>102021535
which cpu you have right now?

best cards and monitors for 4k gayming?

>>102021557
>best card
4090
>monitor
idk anything about monitors, I'm happy with 1080p

>>102021317
are you on radeon gpu? on radeon gpu it's a stutter mess, not cpu fault.

i uninstalled destiny 2 and warframe because stuttery.

>>102021550
R5 3600

>>102021580
your options are 5600/5700X/5700X3D or AM5 7600+
the slowest am5 cpu is as fast as the fastest am4 cpu on average in games

>>102020485
yes it is and yes it does.

>>102021580
go 7800x3d if you plan on upgrading the 3070 within the next couple of years otherwise 5600x3d/5700x3d/5800x3d and you get a whole new platform + gpu in 3-5 years instead

>>102021488
same mate, really want G80SD(for ease of config and superior cooling) but the price is biting.

>>102021334
>it is objectively slower to move the mouse up 20 pixels than it is to move it up 2 pixels
did you know if you move your mouse faster it moves further away?

Price is retarded but they calibrated it better than LG, on the other hand LG got hardware calibration so you can use ICC profile globally without issues.

even if it was just as fast to move the mouse further for the petty designers' whims (it's not), it would still be slower, because you still have to wait for the bloated wangblows multiplatform device™ designer context menu to even load LMAO

It's frankly the most insulting shit ever to me as a pc user to add this bloat and force me to move the cursor further WHILE REMOVING THE OPTION TO OPT OUT OF IT. If I didn't know any better I would say they are deliberately demoralizing entrenched users because well, we dont have a choice, right? And we WILL assimilate into the onedrive cloud as the biomechanical drone mobile device™ hive as the data slaves we are slowly being lobotomized to be via such abhorrent and aggressive 'upgrades' as this. However, they clearly aren't that smart and probably just retarded designers high on their own farts as usual. I fucking hate microsoft

The Saddle Rock 3 is longer than the dark Rock Slim but not by much. The width and height are almost exactly the same with three and four millimeters difference respectively.
