reminder that there is literally no price point where buying an amd gpu makes sense
Montech Air 100 Lite (MicroATX) is available for $45 in the US. Great case if you're a frugal buyer
>>102285575They are on wine forum, steam forums, you name it...
>>102285597Sorry bro. Ryzen 7600 just works. It's too good of an offer to not take up
>>102285575They're in every room where linux is used for gaming.Only around 41% (lmao) of games work out of the box without major issues.
>>102285597just bought one for 900usdsuckadick
>>102285625What if he decides to upgrade to a more powerful 50 or 60 series GPU in the future? The extra wattage would bring him close to full load. You want to leave 20% headroom and he's already at that. A 750W PSU is not future-proof
>>102285656enjoy your rasterized graphics while the industry is moving towards ray tracing
>>102285669fuck your industry
>>102285661Oh, I guess I assumed that he was talking about a PSU he already owned, and using it in a new build. Otherwise if he's buying new then yeah he should go higher, it's not like higher watt PSUs are that much pricier nowadays.
>>102285675?
>>102285680Nobody cares about western slop, what's the point of ray tracing if it's used for afros and nigger lips?
That's why we have path tracing now
>>102285597I had a choice between a slower 3060 ti for $40 more, a 6700xt 12gb, or a 3070 for $180 more. Glad I picked the rx 6700xt. It's in-between the 2 Nvidia cards but it's utterly adjustable in every way. My gtx 1070 had a lot of bullshit restrictions, specifically power limit. I've undervolted it down to 160w while maintaining stock performance. With 12gb vram, antilag, 120hz VRR, and my 5800x3d, my minimum fps in everything is great with how little this build cost, and how silent/cool it runs.
GPUs over 250w should be outlawed.
>>102285700Upgraded from a 1080 Ti to a 4080 Super. Glad I don't have to use a 6700 XT.
I want to upgrade from my 6700 XT to something newer and more powerful so I can use RT and max settings in a few games. I have a 5800X3D and a 650W PSU. What can I get that will fit inside that wattage, I really don't feel like upgrading the PSU.
>>102285726I wouldn't want either of those cards. I don't want fans above 1600rpm and I don't want my room temp to increase so much that a cracked window can't deal with it.
>>102285731Is it a good 650w psu or a true shanghai street vendor special? There is a world of difference if the unit can actually handle 650w.
>>102285720GPU's under 250W should be outlawed. No seriously, our rulers need some motivation to plop down more nuclear reactors. We're already 50+ years late with that. More energy consumption + higher energy flux density = human progress.
>>1022857314070 Super is the best you can get with that PSU
>>1022857314070 super is the lowest watt GPU that's going to give you decent performance in RT, though you're limited to 12GB. Pulls 30w less than 6700xt.Another option is 4070ti super with power limiting, though unless you're already up against the limits of your PSU then you could probably run it stock. 285w vs your 230w 6700xt.
>>102285739HVAC solves all of that
>>102285764That's fine if you're living with your parents and not paying for power
>>102285541God these GPU recommendations are so retarded, why do you faggots reposting this garbage?>1080p: RTX 4070 Ti Super, RX 7900 GRE>1440p: RTX 4080 Super, RX 7900 XTI seriously hope you guys don't do this. I have a 6700 XT and it runs unoptimized console garbage like The Last of Us perfectly fine, I get buttery smooth 60 fps on medium-high settings without FSR enabled. I'm pretty sure a 4070 Ti Super could do even better at 1440p>inb4 60 fps is not enoughIt is absolutely enough unless you're a brainwashed consoomer cattle who needs to updoot every year
>>102285752It's Corsair, Gold rating 80+ so no worries there.>>102285758>>102285763Thanks, there's a Gaming X Slim on sale even in the shop I usually buy at, that's perfect. Any reason not to go for the Super Ti? Though even if it fit for the wattage, it doesnt seem to be that worth it for the price difference.
>>102285794GPU recommendations have just been rotating between different troll posts for months now, the GPU market is complete shit and no one should be buying anything if they can help it.
>>102285811You're pushing it 50 watts over the recommended PSU with the Ti Super. Depends on how safe you want to play. The difference in performance isn't that much and I personally would not go for it but up to you
>>102285811The problem with the 4070 super is that it's 12GB, which is fine for 1080p but there's already plenty of games where it struggles to load full quality textures at 1440 and above. RT also increases VRAM usage fuirther. 4070ti super is 16GB and handles things much better, with the downside of being worse value in raw performance.
See kids, this is why you always go for big PSUs. 1000W or bust
>>102285829>RT also increases VRAM usage fuirtherSo does framegen as by definition of how the technology works it needs to buffer a frame so it can insert the generated one. Memory demands are climbing as ultimately all those fancy effects need data from memory.
>>102285827Understood, I'll stick to the 4070 Super then. Thanks a lot guys.>>102285829I'm honestly not that worried at this point, I basically play games with a 3 year delay so by the time something that really wrecks the hardware comes around, I'll be upgrading anyway.
>>102285829>Plenty of gamesIs there a list of that?So far I've seen SW Outlaws, SW Outlaws and also, SW Outlaws.
>>102285874R&C, Cyberpunk, Avatar, homeworld 3 with RT come to mind. There's probably some more. Point is, they already exist and the list is not going to get shorter. Why buy a card that is already bordering on obsolete?
>>102285860Consider this though: the 4070 super ti is 850 bucks, but a 1000W PSU is only 150. If you're ready to drop 850 if only it would run well, why not just get a better PSU? All of a sudden you are free to go higher. Then if you want to go for the 4070 Ti Super at all, just go for the 4080 Super instead because the difference in performance for RT and max settings is so much greater than the price of $850 vs $999. It's also going to future-proof for your GPU nicely by years. You could even upgrade two generations later without getting a new PSU.So instead of $600 on something you really wanted the better version of or $850 on something you want but can't power, you spend a little more and land at the best spot, and stay there for a long time. I think the best time to change your PSU is now and treat yourself to high power gaming
>>102285968All of this post is dumbI have a 560w PSU and I ran a 300w r9 290x for years, and here you are telling a guy he can't run more than a 230w 4070 super on a 650w.
>>102286099So you did some retarded shit and now others are dumb for not following your steps and limiting their GPU upgrade ability while they're at it too. A good PSU lasts for ages and there's no reason to not get more power now
Which GPU cores they put in zen5?
>>102286140Rdna2 on desktop Rdna3.5 on mobile
>>102285656Bought one of these for 4K gayman on ubuntu.Had it for about a year, it's been heavenly compared to my previous 1070Ti.My only worry is when moving my machine around for parties, i fear it is too heavy and might damage my PCIe port or something.
>>102286144so the same thing I have in zen4, I hoped for 3.5, those 2CU benchmarks are fun to watch
>>102285756>our rulers need some motivation to plop down more nuclear reactorsThat'd go against the plan of energy starvation
>>102286149take it out when moving. it will definitely rip out your PCIe slot or break the connector on the card if road bump is too big.
>>102285756old reactors suck, salt mini nuclear reactors still in development, I hope they will at least start using those, it goes only up to 600C' which is nothing compared to proper huge reactors
>>102286191Westinghouse AP1000 don't suck
Intel ONE
>>102286206...node they could not find any customers for
>>102286163They are REALLY lazy for not improving the IO at all, even though zen4 is already very memory bandwidth limited by the IF (that hasn't changed since zen2)
>>102286202it works on your normal fuel everyone uses, MOSART is cooler it runs on used fuel for twice as long.
Are OC versions of cards ever worth it?
>>102286227nope. only for cooler thickness, but you are overpaying way too much for a little bit more of aluminium.
>>102285770Its fine if you don't live with your parents as well.
>>102286227Only Founders Edition
>>102286241it is the basic card.
>>102286233it's fine if you live with your parents and pay for power too.
>>102286247Nope, it's OCd
>>102286227yes, oc versions have improved power delivery over stock.
>>102286281source?
>>102286227OC cards are the same thing but with a higher factory overclock and sometimes, higher factory power target (e.g. 370W instead of 320W) that is pointless since you can raise it on non-OC cards anyway
Is an older GPU worth repasting if the hotspot temp delta is still only 10C?
should I fall for mITX meme>I change countries sometimes>My 10 year old laptop is still too good to drop 3K on a noticably better laptop now>I want to fool around with local generative AI
>>102285577deshroud + duct + side mounted fans
>>102286408*Local* generative AI and mITX does not fare together. The case cannot dissipate the heat fast enough.
>>10228638210c is nothing so don't bother.
>>102286495>things nobody ever doesso no
>>102286408do the math on how much do you save in shipping costs by making it smaller vs. how much you spend on marked up smaller components with worse thermals
>>102286512There is a point, and if you have above room temp iq you can do all of this very easily and enjoy better gpu thermals. Most cattle buy RGayB lights and cases with glass windows so they can watch the dust swirl around inside, in which case there is indeed no point.
So, how much games with rayslop trooncing do we have, nshartia brothers?
>>102286559metro exodus EE doesn't count btw
>>102286382honestly I repasted two older gtx cards and didn't notice much improvement in the hotspot delta, just overall temps. It's probably only worth repasting if you're about to do general maintenance anyway.
>have my new build almost done>still can't choose a PSU because every I look I get a completely different opinion>pcpartpicker doesn't even list the ATX 3.0 complaint onesI found a Gamdias Kratos P2-750G at 60€ and it seems to have all the recommended specifications. 750W, gold rated and ATX 3.0. It sounds too good to be true since every other PSU I found with sismilar characteristics doesn't go below 120€. I don't want to go cheap with the PSU but I'm losing my mind trying to choose one.
>>102286593don't lose your mind, I'll help you out1. cheap psus are the first thing to go2. atx 3.0 is a meme3. 80+ ratings are a memejust. get. seasonic. 750W, modular, whatever rating.
>>102286515I can't even imagine shipping a PC. I have zero trust in movers of any kind.
>>102286619I've done it multiple times with freight companies. All I do is pull the GPU from it so it doesn't break the pcie port, and ship it with copious amounts of packaging material. If you work with some kind of critical system you might want to pull your disks too due to the data, but it's not as bad as randoms on the internet make it seem, you obviously only get to read the complaints of the people for whom it went awfully wrong.
>>102286559There are only 3 games where RT works well>portal rtx>cp2077>minecraft
>>102286559DLSS is the new RT fomoI'm sad I have to stay with nvidia for architectural production or I'd swap over to radeon in the blink of an eye
looking at a 4090 for 4k gaming. every monitor I look at now is 144-240Hz. if I've only ever had 60Hz before, is experiencing 144 or 240fps (at any resolution) gonna ruin 60fps gaming for me? the money's not really the issue, but not sure if there's any point to a 4k 240Hz monitor if I'll be spoiled and end up just playing it at 1440p to keep the framerate high.
>>102286593Okay, it's really simple. >Read the 750W section of the guide in the OP. >115V ranking for USA.>230V ranking for Europe.>Get one that's top of the list and relatively cheap, preferably around 95% or better.https://hwbusters.com/best_picks/best-atxv3-pcie5-ready-psus-picks-hardware-busters/3/Unlike what the other anon said, ATX 3.0 is not a meme and can handle power spikes much better, at wattages much higher than it's rated for so you don't need to overspend on a PSU anymore.The guy who made this guy has professional equipment and is heavily involved with Cybenetics, which is a testing company, and has also written for Toms Hardware, Techpowerup, and Anandtech.
>>102286691Ok, ATX 3.0 is not a meme, but what about 3.1? Is it worth grabbing a better ATX 3.0 over a slightly worse or a pricier 3.1 one? I've seen a lot more ATX 3.0 options out there.
>>102286671>is experiencing 144 or 240fps (at any resolution) gonna ruin 60fps gaming for me? yeah probablybut also seeing the clarity of 4k will do the same for lower resolutionsat least running 4k dlss will give you about the same performance as 1440p native

>>102286754Oh damn, good to know. I guess buying ATX 3.0 is not necessarily a mistake these days.
>>102286671144/240hz is unnecessaryyou get most of the benefit of high refresh at just 90-100hz IME which will be just as snappy because of vrr

>>102286738>seeing the clarity of 4k will do the same for lower resolutionsyeah this is where I'm at, got a 2080s 4k laptop that's not cutting the mustard anymore, but having experienced 4k on older games in particular, I don't wanna go "backwards". >dlsshaven't really been a fan so far, maybe I've been unlucky
>>102286786>90-100hzgonna need dlss for that at 4k or nah? will cyberpunk ever get to that at 4k lol
>>1022868344k in older games is goddamn glorious, though I disagree with anon saying 144/240 is unnecessary as - especially for lcds - the motion clarity improvements are noticeable and really do matter IF (and that is a big if) the panel can actually keep up with the refresh rate. Many monitors cannot despite being able to run at those refresh rates (overdrive 'n shiet).
>>102286691Thanks anon. I found the Corsair RM750x Shift for 120€. It seems to be the cheaper one from the top of the list and I'm just tired of lookig at components, so I'm just settling for it.
>>102286858>IF (and that is a big if) the panel can actually keep up with the refresh ratewhat do I have to look for/avoid?
>>102286855Yes it will be needed unless you turn all RT off
>>102286885Just make sure that one's compatible with your case (and you don't want to switch to a slim one later on). Many of the standard cases these days are.

>>102286495Got a good exemple of ducting for me ? I have been thinking of doing something similar
>>102287020You don't need to, I think corsair has a website with a compatibility list. It's likely to be fine if you're going to put the PSU fan facing the bottom and the case isn't under 220mm wide (it's a bit difficult to find them, trust me, I've been looking for slim cases myself not long ago). I think this PSU might not be as convenient on those dual chamber cases.
>>102286916>>102286946>>102286988thanks anon(s), sounds like it's got legs, I'll consider it all carefully before making a decision

>>102287159is there a reason to buy an ATX3 PSU if you are never going to use that connector?
>building a pc used to be cheap
>>102287162It is chicken and egg really as psus can last a long time and we don't know if gpus will see further adoption of the connector. I think Nvidia will push it at the high end because lmao what you gonna do? but phasing it into the mid range is a much tougher sell.
>>102287165>Heavy duty 200 watt switching powar supplyWe need to go back
>>102287165when people say that they're talking about five years ago before inflation when you could build a $500 system
What's the best value previous-gen/used GPU right now? For a 27" monitor, mostly older games, media watching.
>>1022872526900XT
Am I missing something? Why would I wait for the top one to release then wait some more for the price to become reasonable when I can buy bottom for less money right now?>buy nvidia bro4070 TI Super is the weakest card I would be willing to buy and it costs significantly more where I live while the 7900 is priced at US MSRP
>>102287252Hard to quantify. If you want consistent 1440p60 on older games then maybe a 1060 or RX580 but those are getting real old now and can be expected to die pretty quickly. Wise to trade some raw value for longevity with a newer card like a 1660/Ti/Super. Just don't pay so much that you might as well buy a BNIB low-end card like a 3050 6GB.
>>102287162Yes. They are more robust than ATX 2.X PSU's in a number of ways.
>>102287364wrong pic
>>102287367>3050why would anyone ever recommend this when the 6600 exists
>>102287377>speculationIt's all rumors, but the 8000 series is rumored to be very underwhelming.
>>102287252https://bestvaluegpu.com/Click: >Condition: used
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/npfRZJnewfag here, just looking to build a purely office PC that will last me a good while. Mainly to store and move around big files, working multiple office programs at the same time and general multimedia stuff but no gaming. Does this work? I know I can go cheaper but I have enough funds to get at least some mid-tier stuff. Also do I need the CPU cooler in this case? The PSU and Tower are way less expensive here so it ends up at around ~550€ total.
>>102287364>>102287377the 8800XT is rumoured to be $499, so roughly the same performance for $180 less
>>102287413I hope you aren't planning on purchasing that PSU for $216 because that is a ripoff
>>102287383I wasn't really recommending it just using it as an example of a cheapo new card that'll do the job. The 6600 is a better choice but doesn't so much compete with used cards at current pricing.
>>102287429yeah I'm from Germany and it's 60€ here, no idea why it shows as this expensive
>>102287427I can maybe see the processors being better therefore requiring less power but how is less vram and cache going to be better?
>>102287377>>102287364You can't read specs.RDNA 4 is architectural and memory hierachy generation leap.For reference a RDNA2 GPU with half the CU count is still twice as fast as RDNA1 GPU clocked higher with more cores.
>>102287445The build is okay. You could improve it buy buying a better cooler (Phantom Spirit SE) and better ram (32GB 6400CL32). Bigger cooler will be able to be more silent since it's better at dissipating heat.
>>102287364>>102287377I want a 8800xt for better efficiency and lower cost7900xt performance is nice and all but I live near the equator and any heat that I can reduce goes a long way in comfort and AC cost
>>102287470its not going to be better, its going to be equivalent using less material which means cheaper and its due to node performance uplift and architectural improvement.for example, the 6900XT = 7800XT despite the 7800XT having 20 less CUs and half the cache of the 6900XT.
>>102287488What about RDNA 3 vs RDNA 2, huh
>>102287523A 6900xt is more like a nerfed 7900GRE. They both get the same timespy scores in 2024. AMD put way more L3 cache in the prior card and it isn't at a chiplet disadvantage.But it is much cheaper to produce the GRE and that's the whole point of next gen to reduce costs and power draw.
>>102287096https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cehXZftIYok
>>102287445de.pcpartpicker.com
>>102287530Completely different architectures on all fronts. You beta tested world first chiplet GPU like Ryzen 3000s world first chiplet CPU issues and now they're going back to monolith.
>>102287523And the VRAM? I doubt Outlaws will remain the only slop requiring 17.5gb at fucking 1080p
>>102287546Again you can't read specs. New architecture means new memory compression techniques and more ipc on cores and memory and L3 and etc means less capacity holding as more data is processed and let go overall.
>>102287552the only thing we know about AMD memory compression is that will be worse than nvidia wich is still not enough to save a gimped card
>>102287578if anything AMD has better memory compression which is why Nvidia relies on GDDR6X
>>102287578Nvidia doesn't even have L3 cache and their L2 cache exhausts way to easily because they're doing so many driver copybacks trying to their weak bus.

Any info on the 9800X3D?
>>102287704the only thing we know is they've moved the V-cache for Zen5X3D so the full speed of the cores will be able to be achieved, its uncharted so who knows what the uplift is going to be. Doomfags are expecting a 5% uplift over the 7800X3D.

So I was forced to get a wifi usb stick adapter for my pc because I have not gotten a motherboard with a wifi receiver when I built my pc 4 years ago. Issue I am having my usb adapter keeps randomly disconnecting me from internet and I think it is a drivers issue since I have none preinstalled. My phone has no wifi issues. The adapter has a built in drivers for ease of connection (just plug it in, automatically installs drivers what it needs and connect to wifi) but maybe my pc needs proper drivers (by Realtek possibly)? What do?Alternatively, what do you anons do if you need to upgrade your pc to be able to connect to wifi network? I saw these wifi cards that connect directly to motherboard. Would that be the better investment?
Weird question, has any of you ever modded a power switch on a PC case for a clapper? Why would I press a button when I could clap my hands to turn it on?
https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-core-ultra-9-285k-7-265kf-and-5-245kf-listed-by-first-retailerPositive signals at least as far as pricing on ARL being consistent with the RPL i5/7/9 they are replacing at street value unlike Zen 5 vs. Zen 4. If true, I suspect AMD is trying pass more of TSMC's ransom onto consumers than Intel is this gen.

is an i5 6600+1660S still good enough for esports titles at 1080p144 these days? Looking for something for a young family member. Could maybe drop 90€ on an i7 7700 to make the cpu more bearable
>>102287578Compression isn't the cheat as no data is lost in the compression. What they used to do (and probably sometimes still do) is lower the color space inside the driver to make up for their historically inferior color handling capabilities. This resulted in higher framerates than AMD/ATi as a result. Forcing nVidia to compute at the same quality as AMD/ATi defaults would cause significant performance drops.This was most apparent in the DX9 era, with colors being washed out and inaccurate on nVidia products - something many would only notice if immediately comparing to the competition.Aside from that, nVidia has a long history of sacrificing quality to win the FPS war. Lower level of detail settings, cheating at long distant draws, ignoring draw calls, lower quality filtering, and much more trickery was used to make them look like they were ahead of the competition when they were failing to keep up.For quite a while it was common for video card reviews to examine image quality as a result of this type of cheating by nVidia and others. As a result of the increased scrutiny and nVidia's genuine hardware advantage it is far less common today... instead they pay game developers to overuse nVidia specific features or strengths to undermine the competition.

>>102288016a bios update can fuck your motherboard up so consider it an insurance
>>102288016I had issues doing it even though I followed literally every instruction possible to update it. Bought 3 different flash drives on top of the 2 I had already, formatted them the way they want you to etc and it just would not work and had to wait 3 fucking weeks sending it to them, them "fixing" it, then sending it back.
Sounds like something went wrong.I used a 20 year old 1gb flash drive as fat32 and just named the file CREATIVE.ROM and it has worked everytime on Asrock
>>102288050If shit works, theres literally no reason to update it, the amount of times I heard people brick their mobos because something always goes wrong, the amount of times my friends updated their shit and games, drivers, usb ports etc stopped working is too manythe fact that its 2024 and we still can't update bios like is nvidia driver is retarded
>>102288046>Do cases influence how difficult it is to build the pc for a first timer?Yes, but it shouldn't be the defining factor unless you're trying to build inside a match box. Make sure you're happy with what it looks like since you'll be seeing it every day for a long time.>How do I know if the case has good fans already?Usually, if it comes from a brand known for its fans, it has good fans. bequiet cases come with wings fans which are excellent, for example. It's usually specified what fans are included with the case and you can look up specific reviews. If they don't specify the kind of fan they include, they're not proud of them and you'll likely end up wanting to replace them if you care enough about optimal thermal performance. If you want a case despite trashy fans, make sure it comes with a PWM splitter (simple circuit board that allows 1 header on the motherboard to control multiple fans simultaneously).>>102288107you failed the neural density check

>>102288808with vertical mounting you can duct more easily through the side of your case for more performance. diy, easy tier. AIBs use the cheapest trashiest fans possible for shroud fans. There is no other use case for vertically mounting gpus, it's purely aesthetic if not doing airflow mods.

>>102289500did you come from videocardz comment section?
>>102289431>picAMD still slow?
>>102289094Reason this doesn't work is even if you manage to make the number one mid card it still needs to compete vs previous gen and used top nvidias. Sure the used old nvidia might be node behind and have a big die, therefore use more power but I don't think people care as long as it gives more fps.
I have devised an evil plan. I am going to return my GPU in November so I can take advantage of the holiday return window. I will then repurchase by GPU from another retail and return it as well when Nvidia's new flagship GPU drops in January. Based or Retarded?

>>102287836They will live or die depending of the mobo prices. They are supposedly very efficient though, so they may not need as many power phases as AM5. Allegedly B860 won't be coming until next year though, so I think it will be a tough launch. Intel has lost a lot of public trust and these prices aren't good enough to turn that around.
>>102290760Mobo prices are more dicated by the vendors and are pretty arbitrary for midrange and higher end SKUs.If there is excitement around new Intel CPUs, expect high prices, if there is not expect lower prices.
