>>102302294ah yes the 1440p 4080 super classic
>>102302338Correct
>>102302349show the multi game average goy
>>102302360What use is that when it includes games like csgo?
>>102302294>1080p: RTX 4070 Super, RX 7700 XT Does it hurt being this retarded?
I want that individual control for maximum autism, right?
>>102302372onononono all at native res btwjust admit the 4080 super is a 4k card jew
>>102302349these charts are so useless- AVG literally doesn't matter. only the 1% low matters- nobody cares about the performance in a single video game, and probably a bloated AAA one at that. most people playing video games on PC probably don't even play new AAA games.
>>102302393indeed
>>10230241016GB VRAM, was originally the 4070, nothing 4K about it.
>>102302433the 4070 ti was originally going to be called the "4080 12gb" the 16 gig version was always intended to be a 4k card
>>10230245516GB is not even enough for 1080p these days.Sorry boyo, the proof is in the pudding.
>>102302501>using a game that flopped horribly and is just another ubislop title to prove 16gb is no longer enoughautism
>>102302392He isn’t wrong tho
justify playing games at 4k60fps over 1440p144fpsexcluding badly coded games that tie game speed to framerate
>>102302520>i-i-i-it doesn't count!
>>102302393I can't think of any scenario where you want to change pump speed and fan speed differently from each other. The thing already runs at 100% pump speed when the fans are running at 40%.
>>102302543do YOU plan on buying and playing star slop outlaws?
>>1023025371440p 144fps is way more computationally expensive than 4k 60fps which leads to high noise and framepacing issues because your CPU or Memory can't keep up with the logic and thats not a (badly coded game) thing thats just directX.
7900xtx red leader standing by amd bros report in we eating good
Sapphire pulsing hard cocks amd
AMD not competing = start saving for a $3000 5090 now.
>>102302537>>102302673Turn on AFMF2 + AntiLag and now you dont need 144fps memes anymore. Just stick with a 4k OLED and get a better experience.
>>102302640red devil 6950xt gang
>>102302708Nvidia has no reason to give you guys a 5090 at all when they can just sell it to datacenters for more money.It's the same logic with AMD. No reason to make high end for consumers when its more valuable to datacenters. They dont care about your FPS or Raytracing or "muh features". They just want compute and vram.
>>102302729BrotherI had a 69xt loved it but didn't age so well compared to my 79xtxA770 aged horribly loool >>102302713Tried it I'll wait for the official 24.11 drivers
>>102302776a MPT tuned 6900xt is faster than a 7900XT 20gb. xtx still wins but you have to deal with all the chiplet issues that 6900xt doesnt have.
>>102302537like another anon said: 1440/144 costs more than 2160/60but anybody who would choose 60fps today over 90-144 is just out of touch.not to mention *steps onto soap box* that you should never use UI scaling because it uses resources and looks bad. always keep OS scaling to 100%. because of this, you have to choose a monitor that closely matches what PPI the OS is designed for>windows and linux: 96ppi>macos: 110ppitherefore(assuming you use windows or linux for the following example):inches/resolution/ppi22 1080 = 10224 1080 = 9327 1440 = 11032 1440 = 9240 2160 = 11048 2160 = 92get it? with any of these, you'd never need scaling. it's straight up free real estate and no problems. you could use scaling if it's 200% but very few monitors exist that can even do that. you'd need a 24" 2160p to get 185ppi, and only one from LG is currently made AFAIK, in a lame 60hz IPS for $300. not really worth buying.just choose a monitor based on the screen size you want. the resolution then chosen to match what the OS was designed for.
>>102302776I got my 6950xt for $600 also came with the last of us part one and then I sold my 2070 super for $250 it was a great value for money at the time back in May 2023
>>102302759Yeah ching hangwangwongchong said their gonna make more mid-range shitters and I'm fine with that I'll just skip them for 5-10 years or 3 gens if that's the case like my 390x I couldn't kill and that fucking 2080ti that wouldn't die I'll be fine for a long time on rdna 3 high end
>>102302793I had one lol pulled 450-550w spiked even higher sold that system 3yrs ago I miss it a lot but the xtx is faster cooler and about the same noise but can't hear shit over 5x 3k rpm server fans in my old p180
>>102302804nvidiabros, our narrative
>>102302832>medium
>>102302759they will give gamers 85% enabled yields for $2k and only provide the full fat or near full fat dies to DC
>>102302804embarrassingno wonder they keep shoving dlss cope down our necks
>>102302825when the xtx works its great, especially the powercolor version. its just a shame that devs dont care for it as much. wow has unresolved nonstop dx12 crashing issues with it. kingdom hearts collection was broken on it for months until amd decided to fix it after 500+ complaints on steam.
>>102302803Kino GPU dunno how the 16gb vs my 24gb Will age my a770 didn't age so well so I'll bin it to my htpc >>102302832>>102302855Finewine ©®@™
>>102302855Seems to make sense here though, doesn't it? Using ultra settings only the 4090 and 7900XTX even reach 60 fps 1% lows.
>>102302895Dlss is pooFsr and afmf2 at least work on everything but I don't like it so I don't use it>>102302898Had zero issues especially in VR which I had on my 69xt
>>102302713you still need a monitor with that refresh rate lolhow good are these driver-level frame generation tools? is it "good enough" now? LSFG and AFMF2 are the ones I know of. apparently LSFG does 4x frames now, which sounds totally crazy if it looks even remotely playable. imagine going from 60fps to like 200fps(not 240 due to the resource cost) for free. I can't tell how good it looks in youtube videos due to the shitty bitrate.
>>102302929I used LSFG X2 on alan wake 2 at 1440p and I have to say it was great going from around 70-80 fps to near locked 144fps input latency was not too bad and the actual frames themselves looked ok, I have not tried AFMF 2 but the first version kinda sucked ass
>>102302929For best latency you want 2x mode. The higher x modes give you better visuals at lower fps (perfect for cgi cutscenes or anime) but they have bigger latency penalty and higher performance cost.AFMF2 is same as LSFG 2x but with less latency but its still in beta so there's more artifacts than LSFG.
5060 will have a 64 bit bus 8GB VRAM and draw 95w (12VHPWR connection needed). Cost will be $400.
>>102302804>4K Medium NativeAMDUnboxed will pull any dirty trick to make their mid tier trash look better than it iswho plays anything 4K Medium Native? What a retarded fake benchmark
>>102302971>>102303009do the frames look good enough such that, in any slower-paced game like Alan Wake or Flight Simulator or whatever, it's an automatic enable? i wonder why more people don't talk about these tools. it seems like a paradigm shifting idea that you can just turn on some tool and 2-4x your performance lol.
>>102303044Alan wake 2 was basically the perfect use case slow paced and more story driven single player title and in X2 mode the frames look good enough for that, I cannot comment about the X3 or X4 modes but I personally just won't use them because I know the input latency will increase sharply along with a general decline in visual quality
>>102303044The less deviance between frames (in both render time and visual makeup) the better all framegen gets. Plus the higher the base framerate the less time the generated frame is going to be displayed, which masks any errors it makes. MSFS is a prime use case for it as scenes change relatively slowly and I would generally say alan wake II would work well, but I bet the combat where you break the shield of enemies would look turbo shit as that is very particle heavy.
>>102303044>i wonder why more people don't talk about these tools.everyone is talkin about it already. you wont see it go more mainstream until playstation and xbox start whipping out their custom super resolution+framegen solution soon for their next models.to put in perspective, ffxvi demo pre-rendered cutscenes run at locked 30fps. with afmf2 they now look like 60fps. if you do lsfg x4 it looks like a convincing 120fps. but dont try to play game with x4 or afmf2 because it already has built in fsr3 fg but it doesnt apply to cgi.
>>102302804And when you are actually playing 4K Ultra like you are meant to it gets predictably fucking raped 4K Medium lmao gtfoh you fucking copers
>>102303042I posted ultra benchmark here>>102302673It's 90% as fast for 50% or less of the price seems insane not to buy it
>>102303168How is being 90% as fast without nvidiass PT rt AI dlss fg bullshit for 33% of the price a bad thing? 4090s are 3000aud here and 79xtx high end are 1350aud it's a no fucking brained decision to keep with Nvidia at this point I paid more for my 69xtx and entry level 2080ti kek
i dont know bros.switching from 144fps to 60fps is such a massive slowdown to me. i regularly use 144fps machines and 60fps machines and there's really a noticeable difference.
>>102302294>avoid 4000dMay I ask, why?

>>102303236Too expensive for a case with terrible airflow
About to start fully upgrading my PC for the first time in 8 years. Right now, I'm stuck on getting a case. I'm someone of simple tastes, who wants a case with a simple design and good airflow. I can't stand all of these flashy, over-designed, RGB 1337 HAX0R GAYMER cases with the fragile glass panels that literally explode if you do so little as sneeze on them.I found picrel and really like the aesthetic, but reviews on it are extremely mixed as far as airflow, noise, and cable management. If anyone here has this case, what's your take on it?
>>102303300GCN IS BACK BABY
>>102303300Radeon DNA + Compute DNA = Ultimate DNA
>>102303236There's better cheaper options like the fractal pop air>>102303338the airflow is fine, it's just expensive and doesn't come with anything like a fan hub or rgb hub and only comes with two fans
>>102303351The Pop Air is pretty nice, and it has the option of a metal side panel so you’re not forced to buy a glass panel if you don’t want to. Comes with 3 fans and two 5 1/2 drive bays as well
>>102303377>>102303389Told you all a few threads back it was happening
>>102303402So where does xilinx fit into this?
>>102303351I have it great case make sure you check your measurements if you want to use the side intake fans.
So, I'm planning to upgrade into a RTX4080.However, it seem that I fucked up when selecting my motherboard (1700 socket) and now even if I upgrade to a I5 -13400f, I'm still bottleneck by 35%.Should just upgrade to 3080TI (while upgrading CPU) or I fucked and I should just by a new Motherboard-
>>102303414No idea, Lisa probably just bought them for their patents and as passive revenue
>>102302708why? my used 6700xt is twice as powerful as I need
>>102303448It should be easy to maintain a GPU bottleneck with that hardware on 1440p or higher. Keep the settings high and cap your FPS below the CPU limit (which should be in the 150+ range tbf).
>>102303251Never heard of it.
>>102303479https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/
>>102303448Let me guess, you used some dumb bottleneck calculator and are now thinking it's 100% correct. I bet you don't even know how bottlenecks work regarding GPU and CPU.Just get the 4080 and when you have more money in 5-10 years then get a better CPU. If you get the 3080ti and want to upgrade you're going to want to upgrade both CPU and GPU.Also stop using that shitty bottleneck calculator website. It does nothing.
>>102303477So, buy the 13th gen cpu and 4080 and max everything on a 1440p monitor?
>>102303448what is your current cpu
>>102303492>steami use linux on my 60fps machines.
>>102303518What CPU do your currently have?
>>102303521i5-12400
>>102303537a 12700k will be good enough for 90% of the time with a 4080
>>102303518>>102303537Honestly I wouldn't even bother upgrading to a 13400. Buy the 4080 and get a 14600K (+BIOS update) if you encounter CPU issues in normal gameplay.
>>102303300So what does it mean to a consumer plebeian like me? Also isn't this like going back to GCN, which had good compute that wasn't always utilized well in games?
>>102302349>66% UpscalingThat's not 1440p you fucking console ape.
>>102303477>>102303512>>102303547>>102303554Thanks you all
>>102302294is it possible to have 128GB ram in a asus rog maximus X formula? if so, which ram do i need?is it possible to have 128gb ram in a asus rog maximus xi formula? if so which ram do i need?cant find any 4 x 32gb ram sticks
>>102303338Terrible airflow is quite a bold statement considering the 4000d was praised by its good... airflow.You could say it lacks usb ports on the front and has mediocre default fans probably, but it's alright, maybe a little bit expensive.
>>102303617Honestly, if you want more than 64GB of RAM it's not good to use pcpartpicker. Check workstation or server stores. They sell those sticks to people who actually need it. It's probably not tested for consumer grade motherboards but you could try.
>>102303617just buy 2 2x32GB kitsyou won't be able to use xmp so you have to overclock manually
>>102303617Where do you live? If you're in Canada check Canada Computers server parts.Here's one I use on a Super Micro server.https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/server-memory/250937/kingston-fury-renegade-pro-128gb-4x32gb-ddr5-6000mhz-cl32-ecc-rdimm-kf560r32rbek4-128.html
I think I'm going to buy a radeon gpu
>>102303663>>102303707i need ddr4. i dont need to overclock btw. happy running them as standard. first computer build
>There’ll be one unified architecture, both Instinct and client [consumer]. massively retarded
>>102303719think all you want in the end we all know you'll buy nvidia
>>102303719
>>102303766It is to unify the ISA - an issue that has been plaguing ROCm as support across the last few generations has been really spotty.
>>102302349Is Black Myth Wukong with Cinematic settings your only example? You use it quite a lot, not sure if you are retarded or just baiting, probably both. Why not show actual native res and not 66%? Oh because it's instantly unplayable on all of them huh? Almost like that setting is not meant to be used and just like RDR2 has settings to scale with future GPUs.
>>102303765>first computer buildOkay, I'm gonna stop you there. Just get 32GB or 64GB. Why do you even need 128GB RAM for?

>>102303920thanks. which mhz should i get? currently bought corsair vengeance pro rgb 2 x 16gb (bought 2 packs of 2 x 16gb) at 3200mhz but i can just sell them to my friend and get something from what you showed me instead. many thanks
>>102303300So my rdna 3 79xtx will be one of the last until rdna 5 guess I'll wait til udna7>>102303448My 13600k is starting to bottleneck my 79xtx hard and it's only gonna get worser>>102303287Based
>>1023039422666mhz since that's the supported speed for 8th/9th gen and running quad ranks of ram per channel will make xmp pointless anyway. you could try your luck with 3200mhz but I strongly doubt 3600mhz will work at all
>>102303850Yeah, you don't need 128GB of RAM.
What's the best value AM5 CPU?
>>102304102The 13600k
It is possible that the 5070ti comes out next year? And what about the price? 3070ti costed 600usd on release. I want to pay 600usd max for a 1440p card, and I'm close to buy the 4070 super, but I'm afraid that the 5070ti at 600usd could obliterate the 4070 super in terms of performance... but I wanna play mh Wilds and ff16 on launch... What the fuck can I do guys, please enlighten me.
>>102304135Aren't Intel CPUs going through that massive shitstorm?or am I behind on the news again
>>1023041027600
>>102304164Dang, I guess I'm not upgrading for a while then, On a 5700X and the increase in performance doesn't seem like it's worth the cost yet.
>>102304206Oh yeah there's not much reason to upgrade from Zen 3 to Zen 4/5 outside of maybe the 7800X3D for high refresh rate gamingand even then the 5700X3D can be found for pretty cheap at times, and already offers excellent gaming performance
Youtube comment upset that his 6800xt is trash nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxAQFdpm4JU>6800 XT user here. I’m surprised by these results. I remember reviews for the 7000 GPUs showed very little improvement, now they are up by a lot. lol>And it’s also weird to see the 6800xt at 1080p it is performing behind the 4060 ti and 3070. Of course once the resolution goes up to 1440p and 4K the 16gb of vram shows off a bit more. I am still overall surprised how it’s performing compared to where I thought it would be.lol
>>102304278Yeah, I was looking at the 5700X3D, but I wasn't sure if it was a smart move to jump from a 5700X to the 5700X3D considering the price, and was looking to see if other CPUs had a more substantial boost, but I guess not, 1080P, high refresh rate gamers be suffering.
What's the non meme best value 1080p amd card?
Why did no one tell me the lancool 216 front panel has that old plastic bullshit where you gotta pull really hard and you can break itSeriously the case is sturdy as shit but I've seen 50 dollar cases with better mechanisms for the front panel
>>102304146Massively overblown for the average person. Big issue for specifically for the i9 14900K (15%+ failure rate) then drastically reduces every skew down. 14700K has a 0.7% - 1.1% failure rate. You can reduce most degradation if it hasn't occurred yet by limiting voltage below 1.41v in bios without much performance loss.
>>102304416Hmm, I'm lazycan you switch CPU Brands without reinstalling OS now?
seriously why haven't any new GPU's been announced yet. It's september, it's been 2 years shit they are announcing new iphones today and nothing at all what is the hold up
RX 7600 XT or above comes with free Space Marine 2 & Uknown9 Awakening4070 or above comes with free Star Wars Outlaws
How much of a meme would it be to get an Arc GPU?
>>102304446It will work but you will lose performance because intel CPUs have e-cores which relies on windows scheduling it correctly which isn't guaranteed coming from a Ryzen install of windows (and vice versa)
>>102304287They're using the AMD beta driver and it has worse performance than the UWP driver.
>>102302415>- AVG literally doesn't matterexactly, when will the reviewers learn to calculate median?
>>102304532very much a meme
>>102304532if you know what you need it for exactly they are decent
>>102304464>they are announcing new iphones today and nothing at all what is the hold upread this sentence again and figure it out yourself.
>in search for a quiet 5-600W SFX PSU>every single option is from 2019 and you can bet the manufacturer has "refeshed" the design with Aliexpress capsFucking lovely.
>>102304305
Should i just get a 5700x3d and light OC it, instead of a 5800x3d for almost $100 more?
>>102304623It's never mattered before now is the time September is the month
>>102304645okay, GDDR7 isn't ready, nvidia got nothing until early 2025AMD AIBs already testing RDNA4 but it's only the rumor
>>102304287>1080p ultra 80+ fps, 1440p ultra 70+ fpsi dont see the problem, its playable?
>>102304644You can't really OC the 5700X3D. Well, you can but it's hacky; high effort low return. I'd say to only buy the 58 if you play a good amount of games that scale better from clock speed than cache - usually "simple" games like esports. If you're more into your singleplayers the 57 will do just fine.
>>102302294Can anyone tell what GPU this is?
I'm tempted to just buy prebuilt as I am retarded. I built my last PC over ten years ago, talk me into or out of it.
>>102304793has nvlink so probably 3090 or 3090ti

does anyone here have experience with thinkcentre sff office pcs? I'm thinking of getting an m920 sff from an office for cheap with the 260w psu for a "sleeper" build. does anyone know if if the pcie slot can do 75w, and how much space I'll have inside for a low profile gpu? I have a 1050ti gigabyte low profile which is 75w, and I'm thinking of getting a 1650 low profile later, so does anyone know first hand if they would fit?

I'm looking for a new nvme, just found the 2TB version of this drive for under $100, it's a teamgroup mp44lis it a bad idea?
Seriously speaking, is Frame Generation good enough to justify a 4000 card?
>>102307845Not when far more versatile methods of frame gen (AFMF2 and lossless scaling) exist.
>>102307845Absolutely not. Frame gen is not as good as it's made out to be. Lots of weird little artifacts everywhere.
How can I identify shit SSDs? I'm not talking about obvious fakes, but stuff like units that barely failed QC and ended up on Aliexpress. I used to know what to look for on SD card packaging to spot such things and I'm guessing PC drives must have similar tells. And could such a drive, if identified and properly priced, be worth getting?
>>102307982>(AFMF2 and lossless scaling)Garbage. Image quality and latency are horrible>>102307845Depends on which cards and how much a used previous gen card costs. FSR Frame Gen is pretty decent (although obviously not as good as DLSS Frame Gen or as widely supported) when used with DLSS, as it has much higher quality frames to work with. Additionally, cards like the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti have relatively small VRAM caches, so Frame Gen can be hit or miss, as Frame Gen requires some VRAM. Whether an RTX 40 series card is worth it really depends on context. If you're deciding between e.g., an RTX 3060 12 GB and an RTX 4060, I think the 4060 is better for an aware user, as he's more likely to be able to work around VRAM in a sensible wayHaving said all that, Frame Gen is a great way to increase smoothness in games if used properly.
>>102304532If you want Arc specifically for encoding or some other task, they can be decent cards. But you have to understand that you're beta testing, prease understand >>102304464RTX 50 high end not until Jan because of TSMC's node not being ready>>102304337RX 6600>>102304287>tested with upscalingDidn't watch, but you can bet that AMD Steve didn't comment on how trash tier Radeon's FSR is

I'd get something that has better performance, as the R9s need a lot of heat removed from them
>>102302294Okay /pcbg/ help me out, my gaming laptop is degrading and it's a bitch to carry so I'm building a PC. I just want most games to run on medium-high settings on 144fps, ray tracing and all that jazz is just a bonus. Do you guys think RTX 4070 Super is worth it or would a 4060 do the job?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHI DONT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING!WHAT DO ALL THESE NUMBERS MEAN?63200 GOOCH RIPPER BLTXWHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS THAT
Noobie here, looking for a gaming monitor.My next build will have a 4070 Super TI.Should I go with the Dell G2724D because it has G-sync compatibility, or does it not matter and I should go with the ASRock PG27QFT2A because it's cheaper and has a better refresh rate?
>>102310223Eh might be overkill, you're right. >>102310203Eh I kinda feel like it goes into the territory of "does it really matter" when you get up there.
>>102310325It has freesync so you still get VRR goodness
>>102310371I don't know what VRR is, is that a good thing?
>>102310325You can't go wrong with either. KTC H27T22S is also another great option and its $150 on Amazon right now with coupon.
>>102310385Variable refresh rate aka what freesync and gsync do. Yes you want it - never buy a monitor again that doesn't support it.
>>102303784I purchased nvidia once in 20 years (1660) and it fucking sucked, their budget cards are complete ass.
>>102310518I bought a 8600GT and 9800GT. Both died with black screen of death issues. That was when I bought a Radeon 4870 and never bought Nvidia again.
>>102304848Everybody i know who did a prebuilt was an unlikable faggot and I am not even slightly exaggerating. I don't mean "I personally dislike them", I mean "everybody around them thinks they're a douche"What I'm saying is that prebuilts are for people who want the instant gratification of a fancy new $3000 toy. If you actually have an enthusiast interest you're going to want to intimately know whats in your rig
>>102310117Spend less on motherboard and PSU4080 Super>>102310350It does matter.>>102310325If you're going 1440p with that budget, by far the best monitor is the AOC Q27G3XMN by far. Entry HDR
>>102310518>>102310610The 2% of the market speaks

>>102304287>I remember reviews for the 7000 GPUs showed very little improvement, now they are up by a lot.they were quite a lot better in cyberpunk iirc. it just seemed to depend on the game
>>102310703>AMD sponsoredThat just means no DLSS3 framegenThey tried to take all DLSS out of the early ones and there were so many complaints and mods putting it back into games now AMD Sponsored games have DLSS by default
Ordered new rig mein negers. Friday going to be good.Upgrading from ryzen 3600 and 3200mhz ram
Budget: $700-$800 CADWhat it's used for: Daily PC. Browsing the internet, watching and/or listening to YouTube, or videos/music directly in my storage server, light programming, editing text files or spreadsheets etc. Using Linux.What it's not used for: Games, 3D rendering/modeling, music production, game development, AI. I do these on my main PC.What I'm specifically looking for: Wireless, no GPU but an iGPU instead. Output to two 1440p monitors. Must be SSF.

>>102311556go to PCpartpicker and make a list you lazy ass leaf
>>102311556what resolution@refresh rate? literally most important variable... or do you also want to get a monitor within that budget?tho with $900 monopoly dollars i dont see how you'd get decent performance above 1080p@144 with optimized performance settings for those competitive games.

>>102311749>shooters>eshit moba games>60hzjust add 200 and buy some 180hz ips for goodness sake
>>102311749High refresh rate is night and day difference. Consider at least 144 or 165 if budget constrained.
>>102311529But what should I do now?
>>102311708nvidia's stocks are high because of enterprise AI solutions and nobody in their right minds would care about stock prices when purchasing a gaming GPU retard

>>102311785ram running at 4800mhz too?buy a new gpu and if it's too low fps buy a 7800x3d+b650 mobo and carry over ram and continue playin
>>102311637I agree this dude is a bit of a clown, but AFMF1 / 2 is trash. Lossless scaling is better and doesn't disable itself during fast movement. AFMF2 helped reduce this but still happens.
>>102310925You go on the Amazon page on a computer and on the product page where the monitor is and there should be a button to add coupon below
>>102311500A 13400 isn't an upgrade from a 12400 for gaming.You already have DDR5, so either keep your current CPU or get a 7800X3D + B650Also get that new monitor ASAP>>102311637AFMF2 is garbage. No access to the game engine (motion vectors), horrible latency, and literally turns itself off when you move the camera quickly.>>102311556>$700-900 budget CADYou're better off posting whatever you have now (COMPLETELY, including monitor) and trying to upgrade it. Can't do shit with 900 CAD otherwise

>>102311977What about >>102303554 ?Also, yeah I'm due for a new monitor
If I get a 140+ Hz screen and the game won't reach the target fps, is it gonna look like shit? I've always had a 60Hz screen and vsynced in newer games
>>102312096You definitely could buy something like an i5 14600K (a 14700K is a waste for gaming), but with a B board you won't have access to the tweaking options that a K CPU allows, kinda sucks. Might be the best option if you're looking for the most cost effective upgrade, but honestly I don't see one as a noticeable upgrade>>102312106No, VRR will handle it

>>102312204>but with a B board you won't have access to the tweaking options that a K CPU allowsBut it would work on my current mobo (after bios update)? I mean I can buy those two and the monitor and update mobo later.
>>102312246does the mobo have bios flashback?if so, try to flash newest bios
>>102312246It's okay anon. You most likely have a new CPU and your motherboard's BIOS doesn't support it. Do a BIOS flashback using the newest BIOS your motherboard supports. Check the manufacturer's website. Just make sure it's the right one.And now you learned a lesson. That you need to test it first before assembling everything. Put in CPU, cooler and one stick of RAM. If it posts then good job. If not at least you know it's one of those things that is the problem.

>>102302800There's only a 6.6% increase in pixels rendered per second from 2160p60 to 1440p144, that's not incredibly significant if you ask me.
>>102309286Framerate is meaningless without context, even a 3000 series nvidia or a 6000 series amd can do 144fps at 1080p at high settings. Keep in mind that the worthwhile 4000-series cards are incredibly overpriced, you should only be buying them if you want to push the limits of 1440p or 4k
>>102312275If you're sticking with LGA1700, I don't think you buy a new mobo. The 14600K (on a reasonable power plan) + 4080 (preferably Super if it's close in price) + monitor is fine. Make sure you update mobo to latest BIOS and use the Intel Baseline power plan or whatever it's called, as 13th and 14th gen have been having problems with degradation>>102312364No

I’m new to pc building and am kinda confused on how choosing a case works. Can you basically just choose any case and it’ll be compatible with most components you choose?

bros I seriously don't get itmy 3rd monitor is powered on and plugged in but says "no signal"however here's the weird part, it shows up in nvidia control panel and windows settings, I can change its resolution and refresh rate etc and the even weirder part, I can definitely move my mouse to that invisible desktop, I can even put stuff like my browser and other windows on that desktop using win-key+arrows BUT the monitor still says "no signal", tried it with another cable and monitor, same thingit affects only the hdmi portsI've never seen such a thing
