Moving to canada soon and while I feel somewhat safe about bringing GPU/Storage, Mobo/CPU seems like a disaster and the PSU needs a replacement anyway.
Is it worth the extra like 60 bucks to get 7600x and a budget cooler over just OC'ing the 7600 a bit (if that's even needed for 1080p60)?

YO, am upgrading the ol' x2700x workhorse and going up to the 5XXX series, but am debating between the 5800x and the 5700x3D. They're both essentially the same price in my country, however my only "concern" (rumored) is the 3D cache on the 5700x3D not being useful on a majority of the games I play, since I play a lot of older titles and want to use some of the more powerful emulators (reliant on high clock speeds obv). Is the higher base clock speed of the 5800x that much of a benefit as to snuff the 5700x3d, or is it neglegible and I should just nose dive for the x3d?

I have 7800 and didn't even tried to overclock it when using. It don't make sense.

Also you don't need water cooling on this series, because it's quite cold, I think 9800 would be the same.

it's not a thing anymore, it is worth it to get 7700 even at 1080, going to save you from various "bad optimizations" people complain about.

There are two types of people who understand psus;
1) those that buy high quality units at the wattage they need
2) those that buy chinesium

One of those will last you nearly forever, one will not. Anecdote time: I bought a super flower leadex 750w unit a decade ago and it not only still works actually gets a pretty damn good result in cybenetics testing. these days it is powering a 7900xtx, 5800x3d, 6 drives, an optical drive and my 32gb ram.

the typical max GHz for the 5700X3D is 4.1, while the 5800X is 4.5. The performance difference for older titles won'e be an issue, and any emulators that actually are demanding (xbox, ps3, etc... and above) won't see that much of a dip in performance as long as you hover above 4.0

>>102426008
You are gravely misunderstanding things
Your either new enough to PCs to endlessly parrot "don't cheap out on a PSU" or you have been around long enough to see the immense improvements in the PSU market to be able to say "just get the wattage you need."

You can look up 750w power supply on amazon and almost every single unit will do it job, it will deliver its rated power, are some of them maybe not the best quality? Yes, but this is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than 13 years ago when lower priced units basically never give their rated power. 250w units disguised as 500w units was a pretty common occurrence, you also had units that may deliver rated power but was out of ATX spec in efficiency, ripple or regulation, which is a very low bar.

The fact I can go on amazon get a "segotop" PSU that will deliver its power, be actually updated to newer ATX standards and be safety certified by UL/TUV is something else.
>>
>>102427044
I was hoping the 6650xt would price drop but I guess it ain't happening so I guess I'll go with the 6600.

>>102427082
>How's the arc a750 driver situation? Did they improve?
Yeah they're far better than at launch but still not up to snuff for general/casual gaming. IMO it's still a case of buying it for novelty/tuning purposes.
As for the 66*0XT, I see it at $230 right now which is decent. Well worth saving up another $50 if you can.

I know that 5700x3d is better in gaming, but I haven't really found any benchmarks comparing it to 5900x in other tasks.

>>102426925
I think most people will not be happy with a 8600g APU, it's basically half the FPS of a 3050 6gb, but you pay for what you get (the cpu costs the same as a 3050), but if you buy a 6650 XT or 4060, expect 4x more fps (2x more than a 3050 6gb).
The main benefit of the 3050 is if you buy a used prebuilt that only has PCB power, since the 3050 6gb does not require power cables (if you look for a prebuilt, any 4 core CPU, make sure it has a nvme slot, and make sure you have 2 ram sticks, you might be able to find it for $50, but otherwise you could consider building the PC using a aliexpress xeon CPU, not good for games that are limited by 1 cpu core like minecraft or factorio or x86box, but a xeon v4 should be able to reach like 80fps in cyberpunk, you barely hit 80fps with a 3050 6gb at the lowest 1080p settings, but it's not that cheap when you price the cost of the NVME, case, cooler, you want 4 ram sticks because xeons have 4 channels, not 2, and it's probably going to have trouble with windows 11 because of old hardware, but it should work and it's 1/4th the cost of buying a intel 12100f or ryzen 7600, excluding nvme/case/psu/gpu).

Found a random local guy selling various brand new (sealed) GPUs for MSRP (pretty much unheard of in my country, even on deep discounts). He appears to have been in business for at least a couple of years so it can't be an outright scam, he even offers the option of unpacking the card you buy and testing it on one of his rigs. I've had bad experiences in the past (basically made use of some kind of warranty policy with every card I've had in the last 20 years) so I don't think I'll buy from him, but what the fuck could be the catch?

Hey, I'm looking to upgrade my GPU. Here is my build...

PSU 850w
CPU 5700X
Mobo MSI B550 Tomahawk
RAM 48GB DDR4

Currently using an Intel Arc 770 that I bought for peanuts when the drivers were shit, and to be honest it's done really well for me since the drivers were improved. Now I'd like to take things up a notch.

Requirements...
>To run 2 monitors - 1920 x1080 and 3440 x 1440
>Card able to cool with an inverted mobo orientation, exhaust facing upwards (blower cards work best but not essential)
>Max GPU length 12.2" / 31cm


What do you recommend that will give me a noticeable performance boost without breaking the bank?

Thanks

I would recommend waiting 2 months, do not buy GPUs when it's the end of a generation.

Given your CPU and current card I'm thinking a 4070S/7900GRE. Nothing below that will give you a substantial performance boost and your CPU might run into difficulties keeping up with something better.

At the same price the 5700X3D is the better option undoubtedly

>>102429092
>cyberpunk
A 5080 will be the best option if you want to use path tracing. If you're just playing rasterized or with light RT, a 4070 Super will be fine. DLSS is better than native in games like Cyberpunk 2077, so Radeon is not an option
>>
>>102428559
What are the chances the 5000 series will still be compatible with B450 boards? Also will Nvidia launch the new series with 60 and 70?
>>
>>102428814
DESU I think people who play those games already know they need the most single thread possible. Would be nice to have benchmarks of something like Intel vs AMD X3D however because the performance implications could vary between games.

Truth be told, I honestly think CPU benches are more about increasing buy in to higher end CPUs than being informative. If you have to look at such benchmarks, you're more likely to gather the impression a higher end CPU means more FPS without understanding the GPU is the first bottleneck you will encounter if not buying a 4090.
>>
>>102429200
what about current gen? i cba to wait for a 5080 that's going to launch at 1400€ anyway
>>
>>102425780
I'm mentally lazy, spoonfeed me what monitor to buy, I want minimal flashing, maybe like up to 27". could/should be equally for art programs or gaming, does the distinction even fucking matter anymore? I just want a good deal on something that's large, has good color display, short refresh time, mostly looking for balanced because I'm cheap and directionless on what exactly what I intend to do with it
>>
>>102429105
Oh it's CUDIMM
Yeah this seems plausible then. Maybe not 10000MHz universally but this is a good sign for 8000+MHz
>>
>>102428745
>do you think prices of these GPUs are likely top come down in a couple of months?
I doubt it. Maybe 20 bucks or something but they're $500+ cards so that's hardly substantial.

By the way, the next gen launch is going to be Q1 2025 and more like Q2 for 70-class cards. It's worth waiting if you were going to buy a 4080/4090 but not for midrange. That's assuming you actually want to upgrade - if you're happy with the A770 then by all means keep it.
>>
>>102429312
What about for CAMM2?
>>
Will all the mini pcs with the same gpu (7840HS in this case) have the same or really similar performances for browsing / work / watching 4k stuff and for some gaming / emulation with its igpu?
>>
>>102429224
>What are the chances the 5000 series will still be compatible with B450 boards?
100%
>>
>>102429224
They'll be compatible, but you'll probably want to buy a GPU with the full x16 lane PCIe connection, which will probably exclude the XX60 class if the RTX 40 series was anything to go by

>>102429259
4080 or 4090 for path tracing
Also I would strongly recommend biting the bullet on a 4K 240Hz OLED
>>
>>102429224
60 and 70 cards will always be later so assuming 5090/5080 is in January you're going to be easily waiting more than half a year by the time the mid tier comes out.
>>
>>102429605
>>102429536
>>102429525
Thanks for the info. If the mid tier series are going to be that late then I'll just go for a 4070 Ti Super then.

Yep, been very satisfied with my 6700XT. Just looking for an upgrade.
I've had some wonky experiences with Nvidia on Linux and don't see a reason to try that road again.

So, just asking for opinions on when I can get the best price on a (new) 7900XTX. I'd rather avoid buying used.
>>102430360
Sounds good, I'll probably wait for that.
>>
With the patch released, has anyone played DD2 with the 7600X? If so, how's performance? I'm thinking about going cheaper on the CPU and getting it instead of the 7800X3D, but my goal is to play MH Wilds without an issue and I'm worried it isn't enough for Capcom's shitty code.
>>
>>102430376
There's no CPU good enough for DD2
or conversely DD2 is too trash for any CPU

>>102429300
You might like 27", but personally if your original monitor was 60 fps, buying a 24" 1080p monitor with more than 144hz will be a significant improvement, and it's cheap as dirt.
However 24" is a pretty small monitor.
If you have $1k to throw, and you spend a lot of time in the dark, assuming you have a $2000 PC, buy a OLED monitor.
It's overpriced as shit, and people who hate OLED will tell you that burn-in will force you to replace the OLED immediately after the warranty expires, but personally QD-OLED seems to be resisting burn in pretty decently (it's only been a year, but it's basically an LCD panel but with an OLED backlight, I think?, traditional OLED/AMOLED would have a separate LED per red, blue, and green), also because QD-OLED uses an lcd panel, it also looks good with fonts on windows.
IPS however looks 80% the same as OLED in a bright room, you need the displays side by side to notice. IPS uses one big backlight so in the dark it's going to glow, but it's not that noticeable if there are enough bright objects, the whole screen needs to be pitch black for your eyes to start seeing the glow, and it also helps if you lower the brightness on your IPS. So basically if you are really into Horror or space or stealth media, and you always watch in a pitch black room, oled will make a big difference.
mini-led is an option since it's like QD-OLED except the backlight uses a low resolution. The cheapest $300~ mini-led's are like 300-500 zones, while the macbook pro which had a lot of criticism about the halo effect had 10k zones (it still looked amazing however).
$300 mini led for reference (300 zones): AOC Q27G3XMN 27"
$100 1080p G2412F (lacks displayport, you need displayport for nvidia because this isn't a gsync monitor, it's gsync compatible, but only compatible with displayport, HDMI 2.1
supports gync, but 1080p monitors don't need more than hdmi 1.4)
$120 AOC 24G4, it includes displayport, I own this monitor, it has a dead green pixel
dunno oled
>>
>>102430452
>lacks displayport
*I mean it lacks the cable. You gotta spend $5 on it.
>>
>>102430452
>G2412F
I don't know why but I thought it had an adjustable stand, but if you spend $20 on a vesa mount (it could even be on the used market), it's going to be 10x better than any stand you get.

I guess Intel owes AMD one. Zen 5 was so bad that attempts to fix it by Microsoft actually helped Raptor Lake too.
>>
>>102430980
you could be correct around 2016-2020, but intel and AMD are basically the same thing at the moment.
Undeniably however 13th and 14th gen CPU's are a flop, but 12th gen has always been the best option in bang per buck (but I would suggest ryzen for the high end CPU's because I don't trust e-cores, but high end CPU's are not good in terms of cost per frame, you need to buy a 4070 ti or better for it to really matter).
also who reads reviews? just look at the numbers.

We see it here when comparisons between AMD and nvidia are mad and the drones crawl out of the woodwork to claim the evidence is biased, done by shills etc. Userbenchmark just calls it out openly and plainly rather than pussyfooting about so as to not be denied those sweet AMD fanboy clicks that places like hardware unboxed live off.

cpu performance was primarly a problem in the city of Vernworth (it had to due with the calculations to all NPCs), which caused the game to stutter

The relative order doesn't matter but 4 DIMM boards have "strong" and "weak" slots, you want the 2 sticks in the strong slots.

Gentlemen, did I mess up somehow? I have a Livemixer + Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, and I can put one of the fans right, but the other just hits the RAM if I try to align with with the rest. The RAM is set properly so that's not the issue. I followed this video:

Gaming? That is basically nothing.
NVMe VS SATA SSD is like, 5% difference in read.
Editing large files for movie production or something? Then it's huge. NVMe VS SATA SSD is like, 50% faster in writes.

hello /pcbg/
im looking at getting two new monitors so i can dual wield them. it's been a while since ive been here is the monitor list in the OP still good?
money is no object since i have a job
thanks again for your suggestions
>>
>>102435176
what resolution?
The best of the best are the current the LG Oleds for 1440p and 4k respectively. The newer 480hz ones also supposedly have better burn in protection, but don't quote me on it.
Although getting an oled as a side monitor is kind of a waste, so just get some regular gaming panel or something with the same display size.

oh right i should add more context
i currently have a 3440x1440p ultrawide and a shitty old 4k monitor. i prefer to game on 1440p because it's good enough. i like the 4k monitor for the real estate on it as i work in visual studio.
i dislike this combination because they're asymmetrical. so im looking for something more seamless.
current machine is a 4070ti + 13600k at the moment. may upgrade later on.

If you wathen I guess go for the 32GS95UE-B (4k oled) as your main monitor and some other 32 inch 4k panel as your side piece. Or get the 27GS95QE-B (1440p oled) if you care more about gaming and don't want to upgrade your gpu yet, also with a non oled panel for a side monitor because of burn in. Or just get both monitors as oled to shit on poorfags.
Honestly, unless you're doing video editing or 3d work or something, 4k will be sort of a waste, but if money is of no concern to you then just get the 4k and upgrade to a better gpu as soon as nvidia releases the new ones.

>>102435327
Mostly is but it's just to counter people who think they're special for building one as if they soldered the thing from scratch. The hardest part is the CPU installation due to the anxiety and just how much force you need to lock it. I thought I was going to snap my motherboard during my first build.
Everything else after that is so trivial that you'd have to actively want to fuck up to break something. Unless you forget the standoffs that is...

Consoles use shared memory so effectively it's probably around 12GB VRAM. Either way, for a PC you should have 12GB VRAM at minimum. 32GB RAM and 16GB VRAM is the ideal setup today. 24GB is way too much and for workstation tasks or 4K I guess which is a gay meme.

I'm debating whether to just move over to AM5 now and get a fully new PC or to just swap my GPU from a 4070 to a 4080S. Will probably do this (if i decide to) after the 5000's are revealed.

This is my current build and for newer games at 3440x1440p @ 120fps the 4070 seems to be kinda struggling now, -> https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/VHZKyg

If I was going to buy a completely new one i was looking at https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/QVQ9sh and just carrying over all my storage, CPU Cooler, and maybe the case depending on the 4080S' size.
