Why are auspost so slow? Oh well quest 2 and 79xtx next week now! Hopefully just in time before i go back to work
Last week I bought a 4070 Ti Super. Thought I let you guy know.
>>102021845indeed i also bought a pulse 7900xtx last week yes

>>102021812Rest of it is localized more, and has higher volume, PC parts are very high tech product, it's not produced on a knee.
>>102021828>quest 2why? are you sure you want it?
>>102021944omg daddy intel thanks for cucking me for 8 straight years!
>>102021956sold my original one and i cant find anything else with 144hz high res even the quest 2 is slower 120hz for slightly higher res
>>102021903>>102021887I get that they are different, length was never an issue for my purposes though, I had width concerns. These would both work for my build. My main reservations are that the Slim looks better and has a higher quality fan. Here is a similar build style to my own. I will be using Be Quiet fans instead of noctua because I will be doing no overclocking and noise is more important than performance... and Be Quiet is literally less than 1/3rd the cost of noctua. I have two ideas for my air flow
>>102021961*quest 3
>>102021961>>102021968as long as you know what it is, a lot of people disapointed in VR.

>>102021963does that rear intake have a dust filter? also that psu is way too big, this is retarded
>>102021982the steam will vortex and slow air down on the side, you want one direction tube
>>102021985omg based based baaaased thanks daddy intel for scamming me so hard!!!
>>102021985ln2 futures skyrocketing
https://x.com/OTKnetwork/status/1826003721442263515Are subhuman Intel monkey niggers still going to defend this?People are LOSING MONEY and DESTROYING their career by continuing to use Intel processors for their jobs.
>>102021863Well done fren
>>102022017>playing chinkslop
>>102022017asmongoloid is a millionaire with a stake in a pc building company. if he wanted to not crash he would just tell them to deliver him a top of the line amd system the next day. this just goes to show how shit video games these days that theyd rather ham this shit up for content than play the actual fucking game lmfao
>>102022017kek at asmongold's incompetence too>news has been going on about intel failures for months>asmongold, being the basement dweller who murdered his mom, couldn't even bother to go and replace his CPU>game crashes on-stream and he loses viewers and revenuelmao even
>>102021990I will have a smaller PSU in mine. This case CAN hold a 170mm psu. I intend to use a 160mm Be Quiet1000w PSUhang on, that's a 200mm PSU, that's not officially supported, no wonder it's touching the GPU. Why would you do this?the rear does not have a dust filter, the bottom does.>>102021991My issue with the design is that all the airflow comes from two 120mm fans on the bottom and goes through the GPU before reaching the rest of the system. I was intending to use be quiet shadowwings for all the fans, maybe I should use more powerful intakes?
>>102022064>>asmongold, being the basement dweller who murdered his momwhat??
>>102022017The actual funny thing is that jeet in the replies running a damage control campaign.People don't call them Inteljeets for nothing
>>102022084hey why do you keep spamming this image?
>>102022084>profile banner is literally an Intel ad>posts are all just about IntelIt really writes itself does it not?
>>102022067blocking your front intake with a psu is retarded. get a better case.
>>102022084>>102022102so these jeet shills are the ones who keep spamming /pcbg/ about how arrow lake will "save PC gaming" despite it being basically the same as raptor lake?pathetic
>>102022120Intakes are at the bottom of the case>>102022120
>>102022133yes there are intakes at the bottom of the case, i understand, you're still down front intakes and radiating minor heat from the psu without a shield to boot
>>102022158>psu shieldswhen did this become a vital part of a build?
>>1020221763 front fans with a dust filter for positive pressure beats whatever horror show having your psu there forces you to do
is my phenom affected by sinkclose? are am2/am3 motherboards going to be unsafe to buy without manually flashing affected chips on them going forward?
>>102022233actually wont even am4 motherboards will raise an eyebrow?
>>102022233stop using ewaste
>>102022250i dont use it but i keep it just in case klaus schwab unleashes the cyber pandemic
>>102022258I don't think you have to worry about sinkclose
>>102022192>>102022158>asus prime case>bad
>>102022285its in a nice old beige case i found in a dumpster. this psu later exploded (pbuh) but all the components are still fine, i replaced the fan on a better one by gluing the hard soldered fan wires on it to the connector of a fan i got out of a different dumpster psu
>>102022294yes. bad.
>>102022357Are you going to explain it or go full American and just state opinions as facts?
>>1020223753 front fans with a dust filter for positive pressure beats whatever horror show having your psu there forces you to do
>>102022390>3 front fans with a dust filter for positive pressure beats whatever horror show having your psu there forces you to do>>102022192>3 front fans with a dust filter for positive pressure beats whatever horror show having your psu there forces you to doRepeating this just makes you more obviously American. the entire case is mesh, with the exception of the glass side panel. It's not far off a test bench in terms of air flow. this is the system with only the rear fan, no intake or top fans. >no load it's higher!who cares? check out the performance under load
>>102022446just use a test bench or leave the side panel off at this point
>>102022446and that HAF 500 has pre installed fans in the front creating that positive pressure, but under load just having intakes right at the intake of the GPU cooler is more effective
>>102022347Nice
>>102022017Its affecting large streamers now?? Intel's reputation as the stable cpu provider is now trashed
>>102022454>this case is too good! it should be banned reeeee!air intake next to the GPU intake is better than positive pressure from the front
>>102022525the case isnt good though, it's a dustbowl, and your psu temperature is going to (albeit minorly) contribute to your cpu temperature if you have a dual tower sucking air from that direction. high maintenance and annoying
>>102022541>>102022541dust filter over the intakes. Love how Americans talk so confidently about things they know nothing about, then when corrected so hard they can't continue the illusion, they make up something else and keep making stuff up
What's a good IPS monitor with 4k res, 32" size and 120hz refresh rate?
>>102022560the only way to achieve positive pressure in that case is to slow your exhaust down in general or switch the rear to intake and add a dust filter to itno fans is kind of a meaningless benchmark for cases desu
>>102022608My point was that even with no fans, it was better than cases with positive pressure and fans preinstalled.People freak out so much over a few degrees, as if it really impacts their actual use day top day
>>102022598>gayest nexus>lick the tip
>>102022017Unironically I'd rather have an Intel CPU that crashes than being caught with AMD. AMD has always been for poorfag and a poorfag I am not. My 14900k runs without issues, by the way and I've been playing Monke non stop these past few days, so it sounds to me like an skill issue.
>>102022512I find hilarious that they still refuse to slash prices, even when their last two generations are crashing with no survivors and they are about to replace them anyway. These shameless jews, man.
>>102022017He said the game runs without problems in Windows 8, so the problem is Microshit.
>>102022642>Unironically I'd rather have an Intel CPU that crashes than being caught with AMDnow this is real mental illnessyou have to be genuine because no shill would take this angle
>>102022633>even with no fansis irrelevant because it's not a flat scale with air moving
>>102022641linus dick snipsgaymers nexus
>>102022642c'mon anon its too obvious
>>102022598>IPS monitor with 4k res, 32" size and 120hz refresh rate?Right now the LG UltraGear 32GR93U-Bhttps://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/32gr93u-bThat said, 32" is not the size where all the action/competition is these days. 27" 4K IPS monitors are faster, cheaper, and sharper. I'd recommend the Gigabyte M28U & KTC H27P22S first.
Brothers (gooners)what motherboard (fleshlight) should I get for overclocking (draining) a 12700k (my cock) that also comes with bells and whistles (vibration mode) and is fairly cheap (Money grows on trees for me)?
>>10202282232" is comfier I upgraded after trying 27"
>>102022902>12700KUsing DDR4 or DDR5? Also there isn't any real point to manually overclocking modern chips that will tubo boost themselves anyway as long as cooling is sufficient.>>102022914Okay then.
>>102022944to be clear I'm still using a 10700k and overclocking it, but was gonna buy a 12700k because I found a good offer on it. I assumed OCing your chip was still the norm.I'd be upgrading to DDR5 though.
Is there something like this plumbing support but for PSU cables so the 12V/2*8 gpu cables are bent neatly?
>>102022822Yeah, I did notice that 27" had a lot more options. Checking out a 32" in real life made me feel like it's better for text legibility without having to bump up text scaling so much.That LG monitor seems to have a lot of people complaining about bad QC online and some are recommending the Dell G3223Q, but that screen is 28% more expensive where I live.I never know how to handle products with bad reviews, like is it a vocal minority, or an actual big issue?I gotta say it looks like the best price/performance screen I've seen so far if I can get a good one.
>>102023049>he uses 12VHPWRoh no no no no
>>102023099I thought it was the 2*8 reduction that was burning?
>>102023127it doesnt matter, the adapters that come with the cards might increase the rate (no one knows) but the #1 culprit for sure we know is cablemod adapters or simply not plugging it in fully
>>1020231272*8 pin converter cables are safer than two-ended 12vhpwr ones (which can burn on either end)
>>102023045>to be clear I'm still using a 10700k and overclocking it, but was gonna buy a 12700k because I found a good offer on it. I assumed OCing your chip was still the norm.Yeah real OC'ing is dead as a practical concept. CPUs don't ship with headroom anymore.>I'd be upgrading to DDR5 though.If you are buying just because you got a good deal on a 12700K no reason not to stick with cheap DDR4. The performance difference is middling while the the price for the same capacity kit of DDR5 is basically double last I checked. DDR5 only really makes sense for high-end 13/14th Gen Intel or AM5 chips.32GB of DDR4-3200CL16 is $49https://pcpartpicker.com/product/B8QcCJ/silicon-power-gaming-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-sp032gxlzu320bdaj732GB of DDR5-6000CL30 is $88https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DzRwrH/silicon-power-xpower-zenith-gaming-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-su032gxlwu60afdeskIf you can be convinced of DDR4's value then this is all you need for $95:https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TZPQzy/asrock-b660m-pro-rs-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-b660m-pro-rsIf you still want DDR5 this the best option @ $124:https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pTbTwP/asrock-b760m-pro-rs-micro-atx-lga1700-motherboard-b760m-pro-rs
>>102023127the problem is the 12VHPWR connector, it's designed like nigger trash, simple as.
>>102023053>I never know how to handle products with bad reviews, like is it a vocal minority, or an actual big issue?Online reviews will always be biased in the negative direction, keep that in mind. Satisfied buyers rarely are motivated to leave feedback gushing about a product they are happy with compared to those that aren't. If objective professional reviews don't find major faults I wouldn't worry. Just get what's good on paper and pricewise, and send it back if you aren't satisfied.

I built a gaming pc and there were a lot of left over cables that were not needed. I lost those cables should i be worried. My pc runs perfectly
>>102023668onono
>>102023716depending on what you lost (PSU cables especially) you may not be able to add extra components/more power hungry components to ur PC
>>102023716you just started collecting a spare cables pilecongrats on your new burden of life. find somewhere to store them
>>102023668I don't give a shit anymore, I'm still set on getting a 9800x3d whenever the fuck it comes out.
>>102023801Yes most were psu cables i bought the recommended atx 3.0 fully modular
>>102023887you fucked up go find them
>>102023887RIP
>>102023891I threw them away when i was moving :(. I mean worst case i buy a new power supply. The rest were motherboard i think and one from gpu. No idea what they were for. Everything works perfectly.
>>102023668the only way this could be true is if the 285K is a regression from the 14900K
>>102021808won't the bottom of those figures on the gpu melt or at least deform?
>>102023911you will just have to buy new cables from the psu manufacturer that are compatible with your model of psu if you need them to add drives or fans or something in the future, no need to buy a whole new psu
>>102024009I feel so fucking stupid i might sell the pc and build a new one just to have all the cables.
>>102023986>power limit: 120W
I fell for the Noctua meme and now I can't mount my gpu in the top pcie because the D15 is too big.However I have another pcie that is also x16 but is gen 4. Am I losing anything by having the video card in the lower pcie and sitting at the bottom part of my case? Bad airflow maybe? idk it just looks weird there.
>>102024036what board do you use?
>>102024044Tachi lite b650e
Is 4070super worth it for a budget build or should I stick to 4060ti? It will be mainly for 1080p, I could play on larger screens but I honestly don't mind slightly lowering the graphics a little bit
My shithole country only seems to have bronze rated PSUs, what exactly is the difference between them and gold ones?
>>102024113Gamers who get 4070 super for 1080p are exactly Nvidia's target demographic
>>102024056your 2nd x16 slot is gen4 x4 which will bottleneck your gpu a ton
is there a website where i can compare cpus? and i mean older ones like i5-6600/7600. i don't need anything specific, just "general" performance. i don't trust userbenchmark.
>>102024128I'm asking because it's in the OP.
>>102024126efficiency and general component quality, what country? I live in a hell of a country to get anything and they still sell titanium rated PSUs here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLX0FmeFVh8Is there a glimmer of hope, bros?
>>102024146first rule of /pcbg/ - never read the OP, it's made by shizos
>>102024161shizuko made the op?!
>>102024161Should I also ignore the rest then? I also paired it with a 7600 because its in the OP
>>102024156even if it performs that well, even if it's a miracle in RT, the price going to be $700 at leastthe price will be lower only if Nvidia releases next gen way earlier
>>102024185If you are getting the super, consider getting a 1440p monitor. Low end cards are priced horribly this gen you might as well get a used 3080/3070 or 6950xt/6800xt for 1080p
>>102023986GPUs don't really get hot enough to melt anything, even if it burns your finger to the touch
>>1020241857600 is fine, if you can bump it to 7700 do it, 8 cores make life easier in generalalso look at 7700xt instead of 4060ti
>>102024156there is no veracity or credibility to be found in this person
>>102020625as in, 2x ProArts
>>102024130Ah I didn't realize, I thought x16 meant they were the both the same. Thank you sir, I am retard
>>102024240he has good leaks from time to time so writing him off entirely is a waste
>>102024213gold and copper melting point is 1000C' other components even higherI mean. plastic can melt at around 200C'? You ahve to really try to reach that, most component shutdown point is ~110C'
bump >>102024144guess i should elaborate, i have an office pc with a h110/pentium g4400 combo and i'm trying to upgrade the little bugger so that it's usable. right now it's hair-splittingly slow.would an i5-7600 be okay for modern web browsing / office work ?
>>102024265I believe RT claims, AMD released some docsI do not believe the rest of it, specially 3.2Ghz claim at 250w
>>102024287>would an i5-7600 be okay for modern web browsing / office work ?yeah, but you can easily get an APU for around $100
>upgrade pc>buy cpu, mb>hmm, why not case too>too heavy for regular delivery, get cargo>DELIVERY PROBLEMHoly fucking shit. Hopefully nothing bad happens to my package
>>102022131pc gaming is unsalvageable due to dumb gaming retards like yourselfarrow lake is improving on everything except "muh gaming performance" and that's great so fuck u
>>102024326>pc gaming>everything except "muh gaming performance"Get a better script
>>102024305i would need to change the mobo also which doubles the price. i can get a used i5-7600 for less than 40 eur here. add 16 gigs of cheapo ram and still less than just a 12100, for which i would need a new mobo.
>>102021808I'm considering going from a RTX 3070 to an RX 7900 XT. Convince me otherwise as everything over here price wise in the UK is suicide fuel, besides waitfagging for the RTX 5090 not one Nvidia GPU this gen is worth it price wise. I'm tired of being VRAM raped.
>>102024339thanks for confirming you're a retard
>>102024342go for it, it's fine for office work
>>102024347>I'm considering going from a RTX 3070 to an RX 7900 XT.I have it, it's a good card I like it, but now is a bad time. 8800XT is behind the corner, wait until Friday and see what AMD got to offer.Nvidia likely won't give us anything until January.
>>102024342As the other anon said, go for it, if you can find the i7-7700 for a cheap as well that's even better
>>102024384alrite>>102024414those go for at least double $$ and that's when buying from china :) no way
>>102024439yah, 7600 then
>>102024410Good call, just I start a new job soon and the pay pump is considerate, as I'm a VR heavy person 8GB of VRAM is absolutely chocking me out in so many games now, it frustrates me as raster wise the RTX 3070 feels fine, I love DLSS I just cannot justify it though when it can't run half the games I want without the frame rate collapsing.>>102024287Yes, I literally bought an Dell Optiplex for my Mum as she was on some Intel 1st gen dual core. The i5 7500 that was in it has been fine, mostly responsive on Windows 10 after the drivers are installed.For looonix it's fine, I still drive my i5 4200u and that's all I need for office work (word processing etc)
is this true?
>>102024491yes
Does RDNA4 use 5/4nm-class or 3nm node?
>7600X3D>RDNA4I'm so glad I waited.
>>102024156they jebaited nvidia
>>102023983It's going to be just as disappointing as ZEN5 just even more expensive.
>>1020246534nmnot even blackwell is using 3nm due to supply constraints
>>102024680heard these words before...
>>102024240He was 100% accurate about Supers and ZEN5.
>>102024719he was accurate with raptorlake too
>>102024653is 3nm even happening? 2nm supposed to be next and a looong stop. They will finally have to figure out how to push GPUs without node advantage. I guess framegen and scaling alogs is part of that. Dark times are coming.
>>102024652thanks
>>102024775Arrow Lake is using TSMC 3N
>>102024824I meant for GPUs. CPUs release more often on intel side.
>>102024824If only they gave us a p-core only 12-core sku...
>>102024841I'm guessing RDNA5 will use a mix of 2N, 3N, 4N and 6N but that will be 2026 imo.
>>102024884I'm guessing that RDNA5 will look similar to the plans they had for high end RDNA4
So is RDNA4 soon?
>>102025059https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/events/gamescom-2024.htmlapparently they will say something about cards, but could be nothing, it's AMD
>>102025084They'll discuss about how fsr3.1 has been a huge success and announce 5 upcoming games that will have the tech
>>102025084Sounds like a nothing burger.
>>102025102>4 PM>RDNA 4It's happening
>>102025100>fsr3.1 has been a huge successconsidering how easy it's to mod in, I'd say it was
>>102025084They'll be announcing AFMF2 in the mainline driver.
>>102025162speaking of, any good benchmarks for it? looked amazing at first glance, haven't tried it myself yet
>>102025187For what it is trying to be it is real good but like anything done at the driver level it isn't great with UI elements. I believe daniel owen and ancient gameplays have videos on it. I've used it with pretty good success.
Day 504 of waiting for next-gen GPUs
>>102025265Has it really been that long? I just remembered Battlemage hasn't even been officially announced yet. Feels like I'm still stuck in the RTX 3000 Series era.
>>102024265nahthe only waste here is the oxygen you subhuman breath
>>102025187The general consensus is it looks worse visually than LSFG but has lower input lag than LSFG.
>>102025326It's amazing how one guy can get under the skin and shut off the brains of so many people
>>102025285RTX 4090 came out in 2022 btw.
did RX 7900 series fail to meet its goal because of poor first-gen gpu chiplets or architecture?

anons i heard rumors of an rx 7300, 7400, are those true? Im hoping one of them is just an rx6600 but 12gb. Would be a great mid range gpu
>>102026052They're okay, but if I can keep it colder for the time that I use it that's fine. Just a bit of my time. I'm planning some upgrades so I'll be in there anyways. I just don't want to order all that stuff, then take off my cooler and realize something else needs replacing.
>>102024156Based Moores Law is dead post. Desperate Nvidiots will shill against him but he’s almost always right
>>102026150the 7400 is going to be rx6600 but its still going to be 8gb, the 7300 will be 6gb and a 3050 8gb competitor. I assume they're going to be 120w and 90w so easily cooled and easily powered which means cheap.
hello anons,i am not that tech affiliate so please no bully. I intend to copy data from my few external HDDs to 1 possible big internal HDD. I would like it to function as one simple back up of my external HDDs. So in case one (external) fails i have this back up solution. Here's my question:Is the Seagate Exos X20 18TB HDD a falid option for a simple home PC? Or are those HDDs only usable in those RAID-systems and therefore not usable in home PCs.Like i said i only want it to be a back up and have enough space for future years to come.Thanks in advance for answers.
I want to replace the thermal pads in my gpu with thermal putty, whats available and what should I be looking for?
Do Windows power plans actually do anything beyond the settings that you can see and change within them? If so, what exactly? I've been running Maximum Performance for as long as I can remember but I've heard that's just wasting power with newer CPUs.
>>1020241561. MLID is lying a POS.2. The 7900 XT 20GB trades blows with the 4080 and is already $700, so this 8800 XT being $100 less (why would they price it at $499 and cannibalize the 7900 GRE) with 16 GB RAM is whatever. They could cut prices on RDNA3 right now if they cared.
>>102026555Name one thing he lied about.
>>102021808I am comparing these two boards the Icraft B760M CROSS and the Alienware R11/12They are both hovering around 200 dollars for no discernable reason. I'm upset. I plan to make a partial acrylic case build, and have a lot of blue PCBs so the latter could be fun, but it feels wrong to throw away 200 dollars on obsolete hardware. MB seem hard to fix as well, buying an untested one makes me nervous. Anyone have any opinions? is the Cross cute tax really that much more? would an all blue pcb build be more impressive than the white MB?
Anons, redpill a newfag on B550 mobos. I'm on a strict budget, really can't overspend, which one do I buy?I see microATX ones are generally much cheaper than normal sized ones, what's the catch?Will they fit a 15 years old ATX case?What's the more practical pick - decent mATX or the cheapest ATX, such as AssRock Phantom Gaming 4?How more expensive mobos are better than cheap ones?Gonna use it with Ryzen 5600 and probably overclock it.
>>102026319Enterprise drives are perfectly fine for a normal PC and even have longer warranties. But it seems that they're louder than normal HDDs, at least that is the case for my WD ultrastar.
So I plan to build a second pc made to just host hdds and attach it to my main computer via a 10gbs fiber optic cable.What I'm wondering is Since I'm going to get bottlenecked by the fiber optic can I cheap out on cpu and ram?

>>102026490Maximum power is mostly just preventing sleep and giving the cpu a minimum clockspeed of 90% so at the desktop you're just burning power keeping it awake like that.
Post your unpopular PC Building opinions
>>102026763That the two most important parts of a build where there should be no compromise for your budget are the monitor and PSU in that order. Fuck everything else.
>>102026743I guess the qtj1 is nice if you have a z170 or z270 and a ch341aOtherwise I wouldn't bother with it since used i9 9th gen is dirt cheap in my cunt now. E.g. I just saw a $150 z390 master and 9900kf bundle the other day
>>102026763Anything less than the absolute flagship tier of hardware is a waste of time and money and is built for children. “Dollars per frame” is a child’s metric. Most adults spend far more on their hobbies than what it costs to build a top of the line PC, only a third worldie monkey has an excuse for a “PC budget”
>>102026812well i wanted to build with something weird problem with the qtj1 is you need to flash or replace bios chip i have messaged seller to ask about compatible mobos, was also thinking of x99 xeon itx those are weird but not as weird

Most people drastically overbuy their CPU Cooler. There is no need to buy a CPU Cooler that can cool a top range CPU when you have something like a 7600.

>>102026926>Most people drastically overbuy their CPU Cooler.That's because the price difference between an appropriate cooler and super-overkill one is usually like $10-20. There's too much fixed cost in budget coolers to make them very appealing to all but the most starved budget builder. It's why most other cooler OEMs have basically unconditionally surrendered to the Reich of Thermalright.
Which do you think is better for the AIO cooler, Thermalright Frozen Edge 240, or the ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW 240, or should I not worry about a difference? Seem around the same price and speeds, but I need a second opinion.

>>102026991Maybe I'm bias in that 95% of my SSDs are older and thus aren't cost reduced to death, even tho I paid less than a modern cheap SSD.The average age of all my SSDs are like 6-7 years old, and having used them as all boot drives at some point, I couldn't tell the difference. I do have a modern SSD, a Micron 7450 Pro but not much difference. Only an Optane made a tangible difference in the desktop and gaming experience and it's only PCIe 3

what would be the oldest generation i7 to go with if I was buying a used mainstream PC with the intention of adding a low power GPU? Like I can get a Dell Optiplex with a 512GB SSD, 32GB DDR4, and i7-9700 for $220. I just don't know if that's considered enough for modern gaming. The games in question are World of Warcraft, Apex Legends, various other AAA games as they come out but they don't have to be at super max settings so long as I can maintain 1440p 60fps. Or would it be worth just building something new?
>>102027727>Why the fuck is udimm ECC ram so expensive? 32 gigs of ecc ram costs as much as motherboard or CPU. Fuck!The consumer market doesn't buy much of it. The business market, which accounts for most ECC demand, is pretty price-insensitive.

>>102027727>>102029170plus most people with true need of ECC RAM are just using machines with RDIMM capabilities. I bought 4x4GB of DDR3 ECC UDIMM for like $160 years ago. I can say however that it does help.

I ask because my entire system is in a water loop being cooled on 2x 480mm radiators. If I get a new card, I would also be getting a matching water block.

>>102030896>>102030921>Quake 2 GPU benchmarks from 1998 at Tomshardware>"24 FPS is still good for gameplay at 1152x864" Remember when 24 fps was good?

>>102030911Cyberpunk can be fine with upscaling and frame gen combined with RT
>>102030945I love how retards like to use old games where either GPU is playable at a higher resolution than in question, which is 1080p >>102024113

>>102031930Cool, thanks.
