WHAT IS THE SMALLEST CASE THAT CAN FIT A FULL-ATX PSU AND 360MM RAD
>>102818039>shilling seasonic as the high end and not the cheaper and better FSP Hydro TI
Can't wait for 9800X3D
>>102818039>B650 Steel LegendIdk if its just my country, x870 pro rs is cheaper than the steel legend. But x870 pro rs is amazing and priced competitively.
>>102818067Why would the x3d have a bigger uplift over the rest of zen 5%?
Is cooler master TD500 any good these days? Gamer's Nexus likes it, but that was 4 years ago.
>>102817944>>102817985hmm, the upcoming 285k also has some nice looking tech like wifi-7 support and faster ram speed support. i'm only really looking to build a pc that will run GTA VI at 4k 240hz so hopefully it wont be too cpu intensive.
>>102818096better for games
>>102818081>x870 pro rsone m2 gets downgraded from gen4 on the b650 SL to gen3 but you get two usb 4 ports. all other features are about equivalent so you can just get the pro rs
>>102818096>bigger upliftWhat do you mean?Microsoft fucking up the Ryzen 9000 launch doesn't take away it's actual performance. See pic.
i recently just found out the ram i just bought is faster than my cpu supports (but not faster than my motherboard), will my computer explode if i use it or is it okay?
>>102818152no, it will just get downclocked
>>102818169good, i'm just trying to get some specific games to work that hog a ton of memory so it is nice to know that it still works.
>>102818133I did get it, it was supposed to arrive today. Shipping delays again, I was just trying to say x870 pro rs might be better option at msrp, but steel legend might be better if its discounted.
>>102818137Also, from the Phoronix review:>the Ryzen 9 9950X came out to being 17.8% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X. The Ryzen 9 9900X meanwhile was 21.5% faster than the Ryzen 9 7900X across this wide mix of workloads
>>102818152What did you buy anon? It might run down clocked at 4800MT/s. If AM5, better to get 6000MT/s CL30 than getting some 7200MT/s or something running at 4800.
>>102818184Sad, just boughted 7900x, should have bought 7950x.
>>102818184>wide mix of workloadsYeah but people were mad about the gaming performance specifically. Of course Zen 5 would have bigger improvements in productivity since they were designed for servers in mind.
I just bought 3 SN770 2TB NVMe. Going to populate all my NVMe slots. It doesn't even compare to my 300TB NAS server but at least I don't have to keep deleting stuff once I stop using them. Plus I can finally separate my OS drive to my other shit.
>>102818199Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR4 (64gb at 3200mhz). i'm running i7-7700k on ASUS STRIX Z270F GAMING motherboard. i don't care about performance that much with this set up but i'm just trying to make sure the computer wont blow up once i power it up.
>>102818212What's the rationality of getting mad about gayming performance when your using the same GPU?Do people expect 1080p fps to just go up forever on a 4090?
>>102818051there are places to demo expensive monitors, just like there's places to demo expensive headphones, issue is they'll usually only be in massive cities
>>102818237You'll be fine anon.
>>102818210What do you mean? What does my post have anything to do with the 7950X?>>102818212>people were mad about the gaming performance specificallyGaming performance went up in approximately the same way I believe. It's just that the Windows fuckup made it look worse than what it is.You're not talking about those retards that expected non-X3D parts to be faster than X3D parts, are you?
>>102818238Some games are tougher on the CPU and it's natural to want to future proof as much as you can because requirements will eventually catch up even if the headroom isn't needed right now.
>>102818262My fomo talking, I kinda regret not buying a better CPU.
>>102818263You're never going to be future proof, there is always going to be something better.If soneone is disappointed with a brand new part, they are also going to be disappointed with any CPU 3 years down the line no matter how good it was when it released.
>>102818279Unless you use your CPU for a living, a 7900X will have you set for 5 years or more.
waitbros, what if China attacks Taiwan? what's the plan
>>102818326Well, I will use it for work, but I should still be set for the next 10 years. I use a x1c g6 for context and the only issue with this is 8 gigs of RAM.
>>102818332Put your life savings in intel or Samsung then
>>102818332Use Shintel and Global Foundries lol, wait no, there is Samsung. We'll be fine.
>>102818332It wont happen.Chinks are too cunning for that.But they will completely block going in and out of island and inspect all ships with cargo.A complete embargo if you will, not unlike something my county experienced in 1998.i wish them luck.
>>102818347>x1cI don't know what CPU it has, but I can assure you your 7900X will be much faster.
>>102818355>>102818358You guys are not gullible enough to think that GloFo, Intel or Samsung can satisfy demand if TSMC goes to shit, do you?
>>102818370Its Shintel Core™ i5-8350U × 8. Its donkey balls. 7900x is going to flatten it. I'm going to run VM for days, 1000 firefox tabs, watch animu and compile llvm all at the same time without breaking a sweat. But there is a sweeter Apple, 7950x. I can afford it but I forced myself to stick to a budget. I didn't want to buy the highest end parts and be out of touch.
>>102818391Samsung will pour in billions and make it work anon. But if the chinks take ASML and other critical companies down, then we are fucked back to the stone age.
>>102818391>GloFoI didn't know they were this bad. They should shut it down.
>>102818415>I forced myself to stick to a budget. I didn't want to buy the highest end partsSo you're a reasonable and judicious person that knows how to allocate his money responsibly?I don't see a flaw in that.I also bought the 9900X instead of the 9950X. Why? Because it's price/perf makes sense to me.People ask me: "at that point, why not the 9950X?"And I answer: "because at the time, it's performance over the 9900X did not justify the cost difference here"Simple. Don't fall into the rabbit hole of consumerism that this board is.
>>102818433>But if the chinks take ASML and other critical companies downBut this is exactly the scenario we're talking about.No matter how many billions are injected into Samsung, it will take years to ramp up production, if at all possible.ASML can only produce so many machines for the whole world.
Who'll be getting Arrow Lake?Sure as fuck I am
>>102818513>Simple. Don't fall into the rabbit hole of consumerism that this board is.Danke anon you are the best.
In regards to RAM, is there much difference in using 4x single-rank DIMMs vs using 2x double-rank DIMMs?I've seen people here saying 4x16GB (single-rank), is going to be more unstable than 2x32GB (double-rank).Is this true? False? Somewhere in the middle?I'm asking because 2x16GB DIMMs are 100€ here, and 2x32GB are 240€. Quite the difference.And I definitely don't need the 64GB today, so I feel it's smarter to have the 2x16GB today and then add another 2x16GB a few years down the line when/if I need it (they'll probably be cheaper too).This is for a 9900X build on a X870 motherboard.Any flaw in my reasoning?
>>102818587AM5 cannot do 4 RAM sticks at the EXPO profiles. It'll fall back to 4800. If you are ok with that, then get 4 sticks. There is a good reason why only 2 sticks are marked as supported. Go watch Buildzoid, he explains it better.
Anybody own TSMC, ASML and other critical companies? I've been thinking about putting some monies into it. Thoughts?
>>102818611>It'll fall back to 4800That's retarded. I don't remember this being the case with DDR 4, 3, 2, etc.>Go watch Buildzoid, he explains it betterWhich one? Can you spoonfeed me?
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-7650-gre-rumored-to-feature-navi-33-gpu-ces-2025-unveil-uncertainAYYMDEAD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
>>102818643>I don't remember this being the case with DDR 4, 3, 2, etc.It has always been the case.
>>1028185872 sticks is more stable almost always.If you have no actual idea what you could possibly need 64gb for, you don't need it. Even 16 is mostly enough these days (especially if you're not running a browser full of tabs at all times), by the time 64gb gets any close to being the norm you'll be buying new RAM anyway.
>>102818559>>102818347>Well, I will use it for workWhen I said "Unless you use your CPU for a living" what I meant was if your CPU's performance was directly tied to your income.For example: A freelance video editor might need to wait long hours for renders/encodes of their work and might be losing money in this time. For this kind of person, it might make sense to buy the most performant parts that his money allows.But for 90% of people, that's not the case and we should just look at price/perf.I'll also use my 9900X for work, but it will only be at 100% use for short bursts.
>>102818444>I didn't know they were this bad.Global Foundries is AMD's old fabs spun off. That should tell you why.
https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidias-blackwell-gpus-are-sold-out-for-the-next-12-months-chipmaker-to-gain-market-share-in-2025NVIDIA WONTHANK YOU NVIDIA
>>102818710>look at the list of customers placing orders>it's all front companies for intelligence agencies kekshit must be real good if they already sold out before even launching
>>102818671Sure, but not with such a reduction, I think.For example, I bought 2x8GB 3200MT/s for my AM4 board when Ryzen 1000 first came out.Recently I bought another set of 2x8GB for a 32GB total, slapped them in and it's been working super stable with the XMP profiles no problem.I didn't even need to tune anything.I would like to have a similar experience with AM5.
>>102818733Are you retarded? Nvidia Blackwell launched back in Marchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2F8yisiS6E&t=1561s
>>1028187423200 is dog slow for ddr4Back when I tried 4000cl15, it just worked in 4x8gb config whereas 4000cl14 2x16gb was impossible to run since my z390 motherboard was optimized for 4 dimms.Modern boards are nowadays optimized for 2 dimms so you take a stability hit when running 4 sticks.
>>102818710Apple just said LLMs are stoopid, techfags burning billions
>>102818763>Modern boards are nowadays optimized for 2 dimmsThis is fucking retarded. Might as well buy ITX boards with 2 dimms only if the other 2 will reduce performance anyway.>3200 is dog slow for ddr4It wasn't when I bought it.Wasn't 3200 the maximum for 1:1 on Ryzen back then?And won't 6000MT/s be considered dog slow a few years down the line?
>>102818774There are people that said books were stupid, doesn't mean anything. LLMs are here to stay and they are going to get better.
>>102818803>And won't 6000MT/s be considered dog slow a few years down the line?Not for the 9000 series, servers are still at 5600 or slower. Unless AMD pull a rabbit out of the hat and improves the infinity fabric vastly, 6000 is here to stay for a while.
>>102818823Zen5 servers are doing 6000mt/s standard and 6400mt/s for select customers since they got a new io dieConsumer Ryzen is the platform with the slowest memory support currently>>102818803Yes 6000mt/s is already considered slow now with 13th/14th gen able to run 7200-8400mt/s. The upcoming arrowlake CPUs will be able to run 9000mt/s+ as teased by mobo vendors
How does it feel AYYMDEADPOORFAGS cucks to be nothing but a footnote in AYYMDEAD's thoughts? Servers get new memory controller JEDEC certified 6400MT/s while cucksumers get Poozen4 memory controller stuck in the past with same limitations that everyone already found out
>motherboard QVL lists my (normally dual channel) memory as compatible with one stick only>figure it's a meme>it's 100% accurate
>>102818910Still the fastest CPUs around.
>>102818823>>102818885Guess I'll just stick with the 2x16GB for a while and a few years later when AM5 is on it's last legs and I upgrade the CPU I can grab another pair of DIMMs.
Decided to look at oled monitors. Reading some reviews and the issue is vrr flicker, lmao how is that even a thing ffs. Sounds unacceptable for a $700+ product.Does anyone have an oled monitor and comment if it's that bad?How do crt Chads keep winning
I should have gotten a PC much before and ditched the stinkpad hobby.
>>102818885>Zen5 servers are doing 6000mt/s standard and 6400mt/sWith registered DIMMs, totally different thing than dealing with unbuffered DIMMs on consumer platforms
Is the H5 Flow a good case if you add two fans to it?
>>102818910Jesus Christ do you children always have to use memed words to make a point? You forgot to say tranny, wynnbaw and whatever the fuck else, it's surprising that you even have a few normal words in your post.I have a 4670K before you lash out with your high school tier "insults", or should I say, "poorsultsmdrones"

I've always been a best value guy but on this PC I've gone for the step between best value and top tier and I'm wondering if it's worth going. OLED? I'm also upgrading from a membrane keyboard to mechanical and the speakers I've purchased cost more then every other set I've ever owned combined. Feels stupid to spend so much on a whole new setup but pipe it out through a 14-year-old monitor. I definitely need to upgrade the monitor because it's 60 HZ but OLED is so expensive

>>102819287>pulsar>when oled monitors exist
Is GSync even worth it nowadays? I've heard that freesync is a vesa standard, does just a good a job as GSync (as long as you don't drop below 40fps), and has less latency. I'm not exactly concerned with tearing when I'm getting 10fps
If AMD is smart they should have a good value GPU for when gta6 releases
>>102814546Do you know where you are? This isn't yuropoor or india anon. We have money to waste lmao

>>102819219Why? It's Hynix A die. Isn't it good?

*yawn*
>>102819287>G-SYNC PULSARIsn't that just strobbing?We've had for decades.Unless it's variable strobbing.
>>102818759They already had orders lined up by then, dumdum.
>>102819373Strobed LCDs will likely have the edge in motion performance at extreme refresh rates for awhile yet because they don't put the most aggressive drivers into OLEDs at first, but contrast and colors are more important in terms of the what the eye prioritizes for image quality anyway.
>>102819287ngl, I prefer topthose lines look way too fucked upI'd rather have the blur
>>102819289Only buy the cheapest cards if you don't care about operating noise,The cheapest ones still had to follow NVIDIA's reference design & component requirements, they cut costs on cooling.The video card is most likely to be your noisiest PC component if you're a gamer.This doesn't mean you should overpay for a card with better fans & cooler, it's a balancing act.You'll notice the difference between a triple fan card running at 1200 RPM to one running above 1500 RPM.In the US, MSI Gaming X Slim or Gigabyte Gaming OC might be worth the $20~$30 extra.Windforce Max is discounted to $780 but I doubt it will run quieter than the above cards.
>>102819312>>102819355>>102819373Strobing is irrespective of display technology, I believe.They just turn the screen off between frames. But yeah, I bet it still looks best in an OLED.>>102819502Anon... I think those lines are part of the windows in the building. Therefore it's information you're not losing when it blurs out without strobing.
>>102819023They're doing the /a/ "x won, thank you x" shit, they're probably underage or developmentally stunted.
>>102819355>people obsessed with value are poorfagsIt's the opposite. Caring about value is a middle class thing.Poorfags don't give a dick about value, it's always about the cheapest. Like buying a $50 1TB HDD vs a $60 2TB.Having some money makes you look at value more as not only can you afford the product that has better value but you can also take risks on better value things. You can buy the $60 2TB HDD but that's not as interesting as the $70 12TB refurbished HDD.
>>102819355>people obsessed with value are poorfags and neets who have a fixed income and refuse REFUUUUSE to acquire goybuxx, trust me I used to be one, now I converted to full capitalism>based capitalist shitposter
>>102819516pulsar is about an algorithm to change how the backlight worksOled doesnt have a backlight
>>102819504Thanks a lot man.
>>102819516>Anon... I think those lines are part of the windows in the building. Therefore it's information you're not losing when it blurs out without strobing.Yes, it's there, but you "lose information" regardless, because it like tripled the lines that are actually there and even draws them in a spot where there are oneIn neither case it's useful so I'd rather have the one that (to me) looks better
>>102819679>where there are onewhere there are none*
>>102819619>Oled doesnt have a backlightYes, but it can also strobe.My OLED TV can strobe and has VRR, so technically variable strobing can be used on OLEDs.

I'm looking to upgrade an old 2018 build from an RX 580 to a newer card that can last me another 4-5 years. The 580 has been able to play recent stuff like Ghost of Tsushima at high settings fine for me. Would an 8GB 4060 meet my needs, or do I have to buy a 12GB card to get another 4-5 years out of it at this point?
>>102819852Wait for 5070 to launch in a few months or buy used from people selling their old shit in prepareation for next gen
>>102819904second rule of GPUs - you do NOT wait for any gpu other than the **90 series
Looking for a 240hz monitor. Thought of going from 1080p to 1440p finally, but might stick to 1080p if the prices are still insane.Budget around 300€.Country: Finland.Use case: Fast-paced games, FPS. Blender, gamedev.What specs should I look out for other than resolution and refresh rate? Anything input lag related etc.?I don't see any point in going past 240hz, there's so few games I can run beyond that framerate.
>>102819904Not really answering a question I asked? Are you saying you think 8GB of VRAM is enough and to wait for a price drop?
>>102819948Perhaps the AOC 24G2ZE/BK, if you're okay with 1080p 23.8" displays. Got one of these for FPS and Blender, the OSD buttons are a bit finnicky and you ought to make sure it isn't buzzing when set to 240Hz on arrival but for the price the colors and input latency might just be about the best you can get. Does get a bit blurry in motion when doing 240Hz Quake 1 though, less so in other games I think.
>>102820015well 4060 is terribly weak gpu so most of the time 8gb is finebut apparently stuff like dlss and frame gen also eat vram so there may be issues later on

>>102820229As long as they are the same-spec it should be fine. If they aren't the system will default to the speeds of whichever is slower.
>>102820254Entry level and AM5 do not belong in the same sentence. Either up your budget or go with a 5700X3D (AM4) or Alder Lake/Raptor Lake B660-based platform to take advantage of cheaper DDR4 RAM.

>>102821400>Why is air better at sending signals than copper wires?the quoted bandwidth is a peak figure shared between all connected clients in situations where there is no external interferencewith 10Gbit ethernet you get a dedicated connection that always provides 10Gbits of throughput
>>102821400You're just taking into consideration the client-side of a network. 10Gbit copper NIC's are trivial, the problems come with the switching side of things. 10Gbit copper requires a lot of power to operate and, a network switch must maintain 10Gbit full-duplex bandwidth for EACH connection, meanwhile Wi-Fi shares bandwidth between clients

>>102821440Well, it seems getting a switch with a 10Gbit uplink port and 'slow' 2.5Gbit ports for the clients is quite expensive, the wifi is cheap.

Would this rust be dangerous or harmful to a potential build? Flash pic for better view
>>102821510even if you stumbled across an extra 150$ I'd still go with that PSU because I'd rather upgrade storage to 1tb, upgrade ram to 32gb, upgrade cpu to a 12400(f) or 5600(x) and upgrade the gpu to 6650xtAll of these aren't even that expensive but 500$ means squeezing every single fucking penny and this'll give you the best performance for the money (without doing ridiculous shit I wouldn't expect of a person like running a 128gb ssd or whatever
>>102821528it's cheap if you're not a zoomie/thirdie/welfare recipient
>>102821529Nah it's just surface stuff. If you are worried get a wire brush and some damp paper towels and clean it off.
>>102821528If you have 4 devices that can take advantage of 10G, $200 is cheap.If your an enthusiast, it's cheap.Realistically your not going to get 10G on WIFi, no matter how high they advertise.
>>102821529post apocalyptic pc building be like
>>102821515Really? The switches I was looking at were $700. I just need the 10Gbit uplink port since my internet connection is 5Gbps but I don't need that much bandwidth to each device, though it would be nice.

>>102821657on AM4 it depends more on your CPU than your moboare you on ryzen 1000 or 2000?
>>102821657unless you need it for work dont bother upgrading to 32gb until you get am5 ddr5 mobo
>>102821607I was more going off the generics on amazon, although you can get a treadnet for $229. No need to think too hard about a switch.Are you looking at routers? For high speed internet connections I would just build one, mine is atleast
>>102821592By wire brush you mean.picrel? Ive also already used sandpaper on it and then cleaned it with a wet rag
>>102821727The ISP provides the router but they expect you to use wifi, it has a 10 gbit port to go out though so I just wanted to connect a switch and plug my devices in there (not enough ports on their hardware). It does have a bridge mode so I could do it all myself though I guess.

I'm asking because it's common to people buy ultra cheap motherboards and by experience ryzen CPUs or APUs run hot and these motherboards for some obscure reason are slow even with a decent M2 PCIE ssd driveI tested a i3 from 2016 and it opens chrome or firefox faster than a 5600G + A320 Biostar. Not a RAM issue or SSD I think it's due to the nature of these cheap motherboards

AM5 seems like such a scam. I can get a great AM4 board with all the features I would ever want that will be able to run every AM4 CPU just fine, or spend like 50$ more to get a bare bones AM5 one. Don't even get me started on the CPUs and their price to performance in comparison.By the time AM5 will make sense to buy financially for anyone that doesn't care about pushing 4k in gaming, AM6 will be out, AM5 will be dead, and AM4 will probably still be getting the occasional new CPU release.What a joke of a generation.
>>102822331You get fewer USB and PCIe lanes. Plus 1DPC and no OC, for what that's worth. The heatsink thing has nothing to do with the chipset but it does mean you're limited to lower power CPUs - probably best not to stick a 12/16-core in one.

Why do they insist on inflating mobo prices by shoving PCIE 5.0 down our throat when even flagship GPUs are barely (if at all) throttled by running on PCIE 3.0?
>>102822173After a certain point you just have to commit with a decision based on what makes sense the most and let fate do its job. There isn't any alternative anyway, and you shouldn't trust anyone else to do your job for you since they will care much less about it then you do and most likely make an even worse decision than you would.
>>102822458That's why you have to look into what you're about to buy and never trust manufacturers

>>102822460The critical error was not having a transition period of AM5 boards that still supported DDR4 RAM. AMD boasted about wanting to become a "Premium" brand and it shows with how they've priced the platform and chips. They can either have their margins or marketshare but not both. Forget client computing that they've basically written off already, now that Intel has transitioned to Tiles, even their N-Core EPYC dominance will be at risk going forward.

>>102821854Thanks anonJust noticed th3 amd cooler came with pre applied thermal paste but i accidentally smeared it with a fingerCan i still use it or should i clean it off and apply.my own?
i7-8700K, GTX 1060 3GB , 2x 16GB DDR4I don't want to replace my PC just the video card. What card should I get?
>>102822621looks a bit light, should work but if you're worried you can always put some onI'd clean it off where you smeared it on the fins though
>>1028226853060
>>102822707I have 500$ to spend.
>>102822715I was thinking the 16gb vram AMD card.
>>102822715buy a PS5 and an account from brazilwith 50 USD you can buy 2 50 dollars gameSimply convert your USD to brazilian real on your credit card
>>1028226857700xt/7800xt or find another 90 bucks & get 4070 SUPER if you like DLSS/RT
>>102822715>>102822736upgrade nothing, buy lossless scaling on steam and learn to use it to improve your frameratesave up and replace the entire thing in 2 years
>>102822810>spend another 600 dollars to build a new low end PC>That will be outdatedkekPC building is such a scam for gaming. your 4090 will have struggle to run Death Stranding(TM) 2 and people will blame CPU, memory and asking amd and nvidia to update their drivers. And the cycle will repeat
>>102822848What are you even on about? Did you blow your entire budget on crack?
>>1028228634K tvs are default since 2018 yet even the most expensive video card which would require wasting money on ultra premium motherboards and useless rare DDR4 models struggle to run modern games at 1440pJust like right now as of 2024 people are slowly running games from 5 years ago at 1080p ultra at best
what monitor should I get with a 4080 super 7800x3d build
So the new intel cpus won't work with current boards right?
>>102822962>buying a super before the 50 seriesnigga what are you doing
>>10282284810+ year old pre-built office PCs can run the latest games about as good as a PS5 by just putting a modern GPU in the damn thing. PCs only become outdated the moment you decide they are outdated yourself, unlike consoles where you have to let big daddy Microsoft or sony to make that decision for you.
>>102822996>waitfagging for 0 improvements & sold out actually good cardsLOL
>>102822997>10+ year old pre-built office PCs can run the latest games about as good as a PS5 by just putting a modern GPU in the damn thing.they cantTry putting a RX 7900 and you'll see it's worse than a PS4Prowhite man's neet buildIntel Core i5-12400 + AsRock B760 PRO RS + DDR5 5600mhz
>>102823004last time I went to best buy at release date they had all the cards in stock besides the 80s and 90s.
>>102822959Pass me some of that shit
>>102823267sureGo ahead and buy your ultra expensive video card goy

what is the newegg(TM) but Indian? or best buy indian? I want to check if it's true that Intel jews have a 90% share in India
Will Radeon 890M ever come to desktop?
>>102823341Intel seems to be popular due to better low end value options.
Let's be honest, 1000 dollars don't get you near PS5 level of performance and you'll be stuck with running older versions of Palemoon in the near future
i7-14700 or i5-12500?
>>102821947literally just filtered by boards with at least 6 sata ports and got 4 results
>>102823391Then spend more money. This is PC gaming $1000 is the floor. Or buy used. Shit in Pandemic times that 3060 went for $700
>>102823440bet half those ports are useless if you use all the NVME slots
>>102823475>>102823475>>102823475
>>102823470hope not. fyi the board i boughted only has 4 sata ports
>>102823480You better check the motherboard page to see how many still remain operational if you plan on populating all of them.
>>102823496i only plan to use 2 max. Will fully populate all 3x m.2 first for space savings
>>102819224To be honest, this. There is always the chance of there being a useful technology or optimization regulated to the 5000 series and above. Performance wise though, doesn't seem to be much improvement from the 4000 series to 5000 series as far as we know.
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but do CPUs with integrated graphics like the r5 8600g have separate power consumption for the CPU and GPU? Searching online it says it will use about 78W tops but looking at benchmarks on youtube it seems like the Radeon 760m is eating about as much on top of that as well.
>>102823455>Then spend more moneygood goyimhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs7GzEZ-BV0
>>102823602>separateNo
>>102823294why those two?
>>102823105I'm not talking about the new ones, retardthey're stopping production of existing models, aka the good cardsif you waitfag you'll be left holding the bag and forced to buy more expensive cards that don't have an improvement or pay the premium for the now "rare" older models
>>1028233755700x3d will smoke any intel cpu for maybe 10-20$ more a systemthe good price just isn't on amazon
>>102823391https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V4GjYNThis will smoke a PS5 easily
>no 1851 board manufacturer says on its respective board page if it uses the trash ILM or less trashy reduced load ILMIts like Intel and its partners go out of their way to make Arrow Lake bomb as hard as they can. I genuinely want to give Intel a shot and check Arrow Lake, but they sure are giving me a hard time.
