my gpu does this https://youtu.be/HP73edpQwgc?feature=shared&t=90there is no way to stop this? It's so annoying
Are smaller cards usually quieter? If course they'll have smaller coolers because they'll produce less heat, but in general, is it safe to assume some 6600 or 3060 won't sound like a jet engine under load?
>>102564011smaller cards are louder. Bigger cards are quieter.
>>102563919nice pc build you got there
>>102563984lower refresh ratelimit power consumptionopen up the card and put nail polish on the coils and components around them
>>102563919GIB RDNA 4
>>102563984Set maximum frame limit to about 3~5 FPS under your monitor's maximum refresh rate.Overclock and then undervolt the GPU.You want to reduce the amount of current delivered to the card.
>>102564011bigger = more fans = lower rpm for the same cfm = less dbassuming constant wattage
>>102564011No.Big cards with big heatsinks will run passively under low load, be quieter under high load, and have more wiggle room to undervolt, and smooth out load spikes that might cause smaller cards to go high RPM for short periods.No replacement for displacement.
>>102564011If you care about operating noise you either want to go water cooling or buy a card with the largest heatsink your case can comfortably fit in.Large fans & heatsink is a good feature as long as the card fits in your case.See the cooler installed in the ASUS x Noctua card, the fans run silently to the point where the coil whine will distract you.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-geforce-rtx-4080-noctua-oc/2.html

>>102564850do you want to cut it that close to the next taiwan strait crisis in 2027?
>>102564865>5080 SuperProbably won't release the next generation because NVIDIA already learned that $1200 for a -80 tier card doesn't sell well and AMD's tapped out of that segment.They will package as many GB202 and 203 dies into workstation and datacenter cards.
>>102564324>Already out, it's doa, basically another Zen 5 story, turns out TSMC N3 is just shit.It's crazy that Zen 4/X3D, Zen 5, Alder Lake, Raptor Lake, Raptor Lake Refresh, and now expectedly Arrow Lake are all basically a standard deviation/rounding error's worth of difference among themselves.We've have 5-6 generations' worth of releases over the past 2-3 years that have basically been the same parts getting resold over and over. Clock speeds have stagnated or will regressed, IPC gain are non-existent or get swallowed by aforementioned clockspeed regressions, and no increases in core count. The decision tree for CPUs is how many money do you have and can afford DDR5 or DDR4, and how many cores do you want. The 12900K still sitting respectably in this chart was released on November 4, 2021 and is above the 9700X that was released August 8th, 2024. Moreover the 12900K is only $280 on PCPartPicker right now. The 9700X? Between $324 & $360.https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gGH7YJ/intel-core-i9-12900k-32-ghz-8-core-processor-bx8071512900khttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/YMzXsY/amd-ryzen-7-9700x-38-ghz-8-core-processor-100-100001404wofI'll only now mention Intel's oxidation & degradation issues and AMD's performance issues with Windows. It's like the Haswell-era over again but for everyone.
>>102564799>>102564817nothing about the 5070? is it gonna be GB203 or GB205?
>>102564982You won't see anything about 5070 and below until at least CES 2025
I don't think CPUs manufacturers know what DIY market even wants anymore and I blame youtubers
>>102564817>less than half the coresyeah thats beyond cucked, next gen is a dud
>>10256498270 class is mid tier enjoy your 12GB 128 bit bus
>>1025649825070's going to use 205, never 203. Never.Wouldn't be surprised to see the 5070 being stuck with GDDR6X, it's a 12GB card for sure.NVIDIA's prioritizing high margins for each die.
>>102564925God damnit this ducker said CES though for release, which is years away. I hope the timeline is pushed forward too for release now.
>>102563919>GPUAnd now you understand why I have to regulate this thread>>102564011Undervolting will make almost any card quiet. Overbuilt cooling for a particular card will make it quiet. But yes, something like a 3060 will be quiet because it doesn't require beefy cooling even at stock>>102564799Interesting, so I guess they're not cutting GB202 down substantially for the 5090. If there is a Titan, not going to be substantially better than the 5090>>102564828None>>102564850>just

>>102565233nobody cares, amdgpu linux is 15-25% faster than windows nvidiagpu.
>>102565255There won't be a 5090ti
The 5070 is actually going to be 12gb, isn't it?They're really going to get away with it, aren't they?
>>102565233They keep making the wrong bets, mostly to reduce R&D costs.It's a false economy considering they're walking back those decisions with RDNA4.
>>102565273Nobody cares about that shit AMD has more linux users using Ryzen APUs than Radeon trash garbage
>>102565289there will be
>>102565297won't 12gb gddr7 be equal to 16gb gddr6?
>>102565297NVIDIA's not repeating a Pascal generation ever again.They're not happy with the longevity of the 1080Ti, 1070, and the 6GB 1060.
ok smartass, if RayTracing is so bad, what's your solution, huh?
>>102565336ray tracing but with amd being better at it of course
>>102565273Sure buddy
>>102565326Yes that what Nvidia marketing will say just like they said some extra L2 cache was better than double the bus width
dlss 4 texture compression being a 5090/80 exclusive feature is going to be funny
>>102564817>fucking halved
>>102565332those cards had longevity because people refuse to upgrade their 1080p monitors brohence why their marketing went from 'the 970 does 4k' to 'this more expensive card 10 years later is great for 1080p'
>>1025653488700G will outperform all that Radeon trash
reminder that from the moment the 50 series drops, every new driver will reduce the performance of your existing video card
>>102565367There's no competition, the RTX 5090 is specced the way it is to maintain the premium image.A significant number of people who buy the best cards upgrade every new generation anyway.
if intel were smart, they would make a gpu with 48gb
>>102565336people who shit on raytracing are either ragebaiting gaymd-tards, or people who are mentally stuck in the mindset of when it first launched. I mean it's defacto a part of Unreal 5 now, so get with the times I guess.
>>102565382More like we're still in the longest cross-generation console cycle in history.Practically all of the multiplayer titles are cross-gen hardware compatible.There are very few current-gen exclusive titles encouraging people to buy new video cards.
>>102565410AMDelusional FUD
Whats the cheapest but coolest looking build I could put together that will blow normies away?
>>102565489open cases are kinda flashy
>>102565115>Interesting, so I guess they're not cutting GB202 down substantially for the 5090.Probably because it's another 5nm node refinement (4NP), not a jump to a further advanced node.RTX 5090's going to have the largest die since the 2080Ti if it's a monolithic chip.

>>102564194>>102564243>>102565115What's my best bet if I want a really silent card? Replacing the fans with standard cpu fans isn't guaranteed to work, replacing the heatsink is extraordinarily impractical because nothing is standard, a water cooled system will still make noise because of pumps and shit, and undervolting can only get you so farIs my best bet just buying a higher tier card I don't need then never fully utilizing it?
>scalpers are trying to sell the pre booked PS5 Pro for 1500€ already
>>102565664card with big heatsink and deshroud mod with 3x noctua 120mm
>>102565664Don't overthink this, an undervolted ASUS Dual card is silent enough if you're in the market for a 4060.For a -70 tier card, try to get a reasonably priced triple fan cooler with a decently thick heatsink.A tweaked ASUS Dual is also fine for these sub-250W cards, depending on your noise tolerance.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-4060-gaming-x/37.htmlhttps://www.techpowerup.com/review/galax-geforce-rtx-4070-super-ex/37.html
>>102565679Is there some sort of way to know if a card has anything blocking the heatsink when disassembled or if it has standard pwm fan headers? I've checked some deshrouding videos, it seems like a common problem is that you can never get to the bare heatsink because there's either some sort of plate where the fans are mounted or tabs that stick out, preventing any fan bigger than the stock ones from spinning. And trying GPU fans to CPU temp just sounds retarded
>>102565455I shit on raytracing because it makes ZERO sense to do both RT and raster halfassed, give me a GPU that does NOTHING but raytracing and has NO die space wasted on raster so that games can be fully pathtraced at playable framerates.
>>102565737A big misconception is that RT doesn't require a lot of the same shit as raster. How do you think geometry is created under the RT paradigm?
>>102565725Which card are you planning to mod?There's a high-quality 3D printed deshroud mod seller on Etsy if you can't DIY.Worked great on my 3080 but I sold that card for other reasons.https://www.etsy.com/shop/OsservaYou can also apply non-sticky, heavy-duty, double-sided tape on the case fan's struts to attach the fan to the heatsink.
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-already-planning-ryzen-5-9600x3d-with-3d-v-cacheBad sign if the 9600X3D rumors are already starting, as that means AMD probably plans to price the 9800X3D at a stupid launch MSRP and let it rot on shelves so they're already trying to salvage defect chips for a SKU that can actually move volume while protecting their margins.
>>102565679not anon, but don't you mean 3x noctua 90mm? Or 2x noctua 120mm
>>102565725you can just 3d print whatever brackets you need>>102565809whatever fits, that was just an example
>16GB 50805060 will be 8GB
>>102565975That was the expectation since Kopite leaked 192-bit GB205 back in March of this year.There's no reason to give more VRAM when this generation of games is bound by the Series S' hardware limitations.https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-blackwell-gb203-gpu-to-feature-256-bit-bus-gb205-with-192-bit-claims-leaker4060 is comfortably outselling Radeon cards with more memory capacity.

Why would AMD only commit to the mid range now when Intel is there to be a competitor there too? Shouldn't they have done this years ago.

I set up a -50 on all cores in curve optimizer. I haven't encountered blue screens or random shutdowns, but the cpu frequency drops to around 0.5 GHz sometimes, mostly when I leave the computer idling and it falls into sleep. Can that damage the CPU? It's quite annoying when it happens, but it's better than to deal with high temps.
>>102567094>but the cpu frequency drops to around 0.5 GHz sometimes, mostly when I leave the computer idling and it falls into sleepThat's how modern CPUs are supposed to work whether you undevolted them or not, it's a power-saving feature.
>>102567093Yeah, it has great p4p. I agree.
AMD cards lack basic features
>>102563919how stupid would it be buy a new 1080p 24inch monitor in the age of cheap 1440p 27inchers?I am still on a 1080p 60hz one from 2011
>>102565906>>102565469 (You)How do you think e-ink would be for looking at service manuals? main concern i have is zooming in on images or text, but i feel like it could be worth it for this purpose.If you're reading at home it won't matter. E-ink would only slow you down.If you're using it as a service manual at work? It will be great because you don't have to worry about it running out of battery when you need it most.
>>102567163I wish. The frequencies stay at 0.5 ghz no mater what I do until I reset.

>>102567250Then your undervolt is too aggressive and the CPU's deliberately throttling the core frequencies to prevent the system from crashing.
>>102567196If you want to save 50 dollars, 1080 24 is fine.
>>102567196It depends on the performance of your video card and your target fps.
>>102567196Stupid1440p DLSS Quality looks better than 1080p DLAA and they're similarly performance (un)intensive. Same for 1440p DLSS Performance vs 1080p DLSS QualityAlways buy 1440p over 1080p if you're buying a new monitor. Right now the best option is the Q27G3XMN for entry HDR, but if that's still too expensive for you (poorfag), then the G2724AD is fine>>102567267240 Hz is definitely better than 144 or 165 Hz, but it's not necessary for a poorfag. They'll be in the lower Hz range using VRR most of the time
16gb?!
If you buy a 1080p monitor in current year I fucking hate you for perpetuating this ancient fucking standard that should've died years ago, you are the reason why devs justify putting in 0 effort to optimize their games, 1080p should be viewed the same way we see 720p, but it isn't because of faggots like you
>>102567328There's nobody on a 4080 that has ever ran out of VRAM. Do you want to pay $1000 or $1600 for 4GB more of useless VRAM
>>102567351In before faggots seething about VR & modslops.
>>102567304I'd be building a new system around whatever new monitor I get.
>>1025673491440p/4K needs to produce 500fps minimum then because until they do esports gamers will stick at 1080p with the highest Hz
>>10256735116Gb?? What do you need 12Gb for?
>slightly wider bus and 2 more GB? That'll be $300 goy. its just what it costs, its the terrible inflation you see
>>102566045Aren’t consoles a little bit differently structured and more the games more optimized?
I got a 4080 Super yesterday.Now what?
>>102567366You're getting shafted by practically any video card options these days, might as well jump to 1440p.Even budget 1440p 165Hz monitors are good enough to last you a long time.The ones that go for $300~400 are nice, the only better options I'd consider are OLED panels.
>>102567388If you want more VRAM buy the 5090
>>102567349if you give me a card that can run 1440p games at high refresh rates without shitting itself that doesn't cost a bazillion dollars, then maybe I'll consider it. Until then, keep seething.
I'm looking for pre-build PCs that have the best compatibility with Linux(Ubuntu/Mint/Manjoro)Just for watching youtube/twitch and browsing(I usually have a lot of tabs open don't know how much that matters for CPU power should be more of a RAM problem right?)Budget $500.

>>102567408play games on DLDSR
1440p is a gaming cope resolution anyway. Nothing is produced for this. Everything should be on 4K/8K by now.
>>102567349>1080p should be viewed the same way we see 720p720p is only dead because CRT and Plasma are no more. I still wait for the day we get a display without backlight with natural pixel overbleed so we can abandon the silly 4K and upscaling meme and get back to pursuing graphical fidellity.

>nvidia shill defends stagnation
>>102567623ok thanks
I really feel like I'm a moron after I've bought a 4070 considering the fact that I literally do not even play any games at all, like, ever. The only games I play are valve games and they all are insanely CPU intensive and barely even use graphics card at all. I should probably have bought a worse graphics card and a better CPU because valve games are the most retardedly CPU taxing games there are, your GPU literally doesn't even matter at all. My GPU fans barely even spin when playing valve games and I don't know if I'm the stupid one or if valve should make games like normal people do instead of their pants on head retarded CPU bound games.
>>102566777>there are 3 dGPU manufacturers and the market is less competitive than ever this does not make sense3 dGPU company, only 1 manufacturer (TSMC). It makes we question why none of them went to Samsung this gen for their products like Nvidia did before. Sure the node would be older/slower but if it's cheap enough they could sell cards for a fraction of what TSMC-made GPUs would and nobody would complain (price/performance might actually be better if the numerator of that calculation was small enough). Hell, why can't Arc/Battlemage be minted by Intel in-house?
NvidiaBetter than nativeRay tracingPath tracingAI texture compressiononly card than can do 4K60Devs literally increased the fps caps on their games for the 4090 aloneRadeoncopies almost all nvidia technology poorly and takes literal years to do itovercharges then cuts prices (bad reviews remain)gives uploses marketshare fanboys literally get excited that console trash PS5 Pro technology might end up in RDNA4 lol
>>102566777>the market is less competitive than everthat's because there's only one semiconductor fab, TSMC, for all three of them. they're all using the same silicon. 10 years ago AMD used glofo and nvidia used samsung nodes
>>102567854>2005Better days
>>102567967Intel and AMD's main goal with GPU development is to sell more lucrative AI hardware.You don't design those chips on Samsung foundries, else Samsung would be dumb to be sitting on a gold mine.This is also why the best Samsung can do during this hardware boom is to supply HBM memory chips.
>>102567967Intel's new CPUs aren't even in house
>>102567636cyberpunk is an unoptimized mess. Also path tracing is nowhere near consumer ready. According to you, the only way to barely get high framerates on even 1080p is with a 4090? Good one man.
>>102567196>60hzSetting aside 1080p vs 1440p. Forget games, Just THE FUCKING DESKTOP is night and day better on a high-refresh display. Things like dragging out windows, scrolling webpages, and moving the cursor feel snappier from having the input lag and look clearer with less motion blur.For 24" 1080p vs 27" 1440p, the increase in pixels per inch from ~92 to 109 PPI will mean slightly improved sharpness and the 27% larger panel size and digital real estate makes PC usage less claustrophobic.
I wonder how Radeon will fare in MetaphorIt's a heavily CPU limited DX11 game (as I've discovered from messing around with the demo), and the threading will likely conflict with Radeon's DX11 driver. Technically it could be optimized to avoid said threading conflict, but we're talking about Jap devs here>Direct3D 11https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Metaphor:_ReFantazioRadeon users might be able to try Special K's DLL or DXVK if they're not on Linux using DXVK already>>102568111Cyberpunk 2077 is now one of the best optimized games. E.g., it's CPU core threading is industry leading. Also its RT implementation is one of the very best in terms of performance and quality
>>102567985>better than nativeit's crazy how dldsr + dlss quality will just make the image look better for free. Black magic.
>>102567196yeah I am also on 22inch 1080p 60hz monitor and thinking about buying new monitor at next prime days
>>102568128you seem to be under the impression that I'm a gaymd shill. That couldn't be further from the truth. However my point still stands. Path tracing will eat your resources and no, cyberpunk is still as resource heavy as it always was. Play any other game will RT in it and you'll get significantly better performance. Even in your own little chart it said that a 4090 barely gets above 60 fps. One of the best optimized games my ass.
>>102568050>>102568023AI really is a yoke around the neck of consumer technology. I don't think another tech trend has ever been so all-consuming as to actively hamper the investment and progress of entire sectors of the industry the way it has. It's the Black Plague dragging us into the technological Dark Ages.
>>102567326>240 Hz is definitely better than 144 or 165 Hz, but it's not necessary for a poorfag. They'll be in the lower Hz range using VRR most of the timeIs 240hz even a really big difference from something like 170hz? I'm thinking about picking up a new monitor soon which might reach those refresh rates, but I heard that the difference isn't really that big. My current build is reaching max refresh rate on my monitor most of the time, so I think that I might be able to play at a high refresh rate at 1440p but I'm not completely sure about it.
>>102568237AI is a subject matter, if a company chooses to cut corners and exploit it to their fullest extent that's just executives being greedy cunts not le heckin evil AI.
>>102568237Don't be overdramatic over GAYMING JEETPEEYUUS.Chip designers are supposed to allocate R&D into profitable ventures.Gaming GPUs are just one of many downstream products now.None of these major players prioritize gaming GPU development.AMD recently announced they're abandoning RDNA for a unified architecture moving forward (UDNA).

>>102568231>your own little chartYou seem to think anonymous is one person.>any other game will RTAlmost nogames have PT. Metro Exodus Enhanced is PT pretty much except in name only. Alan Wake 2 has PT but its coverage seems more limited from what I can tell. I think Wukong as some form of PT, but I haven't investigated it. RTX Remix games have PT. I don't even think Outlaws qualifies as having full PT, and it's got similar performance to PT in Cyberpunk 2077>>102568287Personally I wouldn't focus too much on refresh rate (if you're already at 120 Hz+) at the expense of other features like HDR or resolution. Obviously the best monitors right now are the 240Hz 4K OLEDs, unless you're getting some specialized monitor for esports or color grading or something. The 1440p LCDs are mostly stopgaps that you'll want to replace as soon as 4K OLED fits in your budget, so not really worth getting one that's over $300 (or $200 if you're not getting FALD)
>>102568411Fuckface
hey guys what's a good cpu for the 4070 ti super?
>>102568875What resolution do you use and what sort of games do you play?

Can I use three year old never opened thermal paste? Arctic MX-4
>>102568959Okay thanks. Yeah the 7600(X) is a good choice. Second option would be a 12600K(F)+DDR4 if you need to make budget or, if you're flush, a 7800X3D. The CPU barely matters for statistical modelling so you're picking it based on gaming performance and value.
>>102567985AMD GPUs are great under $600 but over that they make no sense due to lack of features. You might get more raw hardware performance but Nvidia just has more features to justify $1,000+ cards.
Why shouldn't I just splurge on some 1000w titanium PSU, knowing that I'm not going to have to buy a new one for a long, long time
>>102569013If it hasn’t dried out, sure. Worst case you’ll get worse thermals.
>>102569067Because Titanium is insignificant relative to Gold even though the naming scheme suggests otherwise. 1000W is great. Having a PSU that’s double your max power draw is amazing and not that expensive.

>>102563919I want to get one of those mini-PC/console form factor things to emulate PS2 and below games on. Sure I could use my desktop and do, but it's fun to have a console box by my TV without other distractions. ChatGPT claims a Ryzen 3-5 is sufficient for PS2 emulation (You only need integrated and not a GPU), and 4-8GB of RAM. What I really want is for it to run cool and not have a really whiny annoying fan, like small form factor things usually have. I asked ChatGPT whether Ryzen 5 would run cooler than the minimum it suggests, which is a Ryzen 3, and it says it might run hotter because they generally true, or it might run cooler if not all cores are utilized because the task is light enough. There has to be some optimum CPU that considers PS2 emulation a light enough task not to peak temps, but doesn't run really hot just by dint of being a powerful CPU. I'm not sure what that middleground is.

If Blackwell is cheaper to make than Lovelace then NVIDIA is gonna make even more insane margins this gen than on the 4090. Likewise, the number of kids tapping into their life savings to buy it will also be insane.

If kids and young adults have cash money laying around I don't see why they shouldn't spend $3000 on a new GPU, it's the silicon endgame anyway, the world is going to shit, and their boomer parents won't let them invest into gold anyway or shit like house rennovations.

>>102570941You can't compare the GPU market to the monitor market because the competitive landscape is polar opposites.Samsung and LG Display fully retreated from the unprofitable LCD market, they focus on selling OLED and developing next-gen panel technologies.The remaining LCD panel manufacturers are Chinese/Taiwanese firms with factories that need to run at a certain operating capacity to break even or earn low-margin income.That's why you're seeing $400 4K and sub-$200 165Hz 1440p monitors.GPUs, NVIDIA makes the best chips overall and everyone wants a piece of that action.TSMC's been raising production fees for about 3 consecutive years by now.Samsung Semiconductor and SK Hynix completely sold out their HBM3 chip capacity for the next year or so.You see Jensen going on business trips in Taiwan to meet up with suppliers, they're begging Jensen to cut them a better manufacturing deal.
>>102571156Cable management is not a meme.If you're lazy, just make sure the board's audio cable is set away from other cables.It picks up interference and you'll mistake it for your case having a crappy front panel I/O board.
>>102571156
>>102571156I "cable manage" by putting the applicable cables through the cable management holes and then shoving them on the back side of the motherboard tray. If it's a cable from a fan or something that goes straight to the motherboard, then I don't cable manage.

>>102563919Don't really care about the general. Just came to say I appreciate you posting this semen demon lily, she's really hot.But while I'm here. I have a 6700 xt on a 1440p monitor, it's plays all my other games on maxed out settings except for fortnite. I have to scale back some stuff to even get 50 fps and have the game look pretty.

/g/ sirs kindly offer congratulation
