Gaming 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.

>>102818238
Some 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.

You're never going to be future proof, there is always going to be something better.

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.

So 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 down
But 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.

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?
>>
>>102818587
AM5 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.

>I don't remember this being the case with DDR 4, 3, 2, etc.
It has always been the case.
>>
>>102818587
2 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 work
When 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.

>I didn't know they were this bad.
Global Foundries is AMD's old fabs spun off. That should tell you why.

Sure, 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.

3200 is dog slow for ddr4
Back 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.
>>
>>102818710
Apple just said LLMs are stoopid, techfags burning billions
>>
>>102818763
>Modern boards are nowadays optimized for 2 dimms
This 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 ddr4
It 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?
>>
>>102818774
There 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.
>>
>>102818823
Zen5 servers are doing 6000mt/s standard and 6400mt/s for select customers since they got a new io die
Consumer Ryzen is the platform with the slowest memory support currently
>>102818803
Yes 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

Strobed 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.

Only 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.

Strobing 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.

It'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.

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 one

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?

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.
>>
>>102819904
Not really answering a question I asked? Are you saying you think 8GB of VRAM is enough and to wait for a price drop?
>>
>>102819948
Perhaps 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.
>>
>>102820015
well 4060 is terribly weak gpu so most of the time 8gb is fine
but apparently stuff like dlss and frame gen also eat vram so there may be issues later on

What's your current display? At ~300€ budget, your best tuned monitor is going to be the LG 27GR75Q-B
https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/product/2FmNnQ/lg-ultragear-27gr75q-b-270-2560-x-1440-165-hz-monitor-27gr75q-b
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gr75q-b
Once you get above 144Hz, the nominal refresh rate starts mattering less than how well the OEM has perfected the Overdrive Settings to balance pixel response times (be more refresh rat compliant) vs. overshoot.

If you can stretch your budget to €340 the Gigabyte M27Q-X is both 1440p@240Hz and actually faster in MPRT than the LG:

>>
>>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 interference
with 10Gbit ethernet you get a dedicated connection that always provides 10Gbits of throughput
>>
>>102821400
You'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

R7-5700G is fine for everything including low-end and retro gaming.
I personally have one in my homeserver and it's fantastic. I used for productivity and it's great too. You should aim for newer tech tho
>>
>>102821949
I would go with the 5700G with a good mobo, the 8xxx platform has not been widely adopted so it goes with your risk tolerance
>>
>>102821999
>I personally have one in my homeserver and it's fantastic.
which motherboard? 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 drive
I 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

4 other sata ports can be repurposed for 4 PCIe lanes.
Mobo vendors are choosing to use then for the lanes. If have no clue where those lanes are going but it is an option on the chipset.

I wouldn't put it past them to not use the lanes for anything and are just being cheapasses. Kinda hard to tell because vendors don't give block diagrams anymore.

yeah, image quality is much better on oled and you can do hdr.
1440p ones have been on sale around 600€, a great samsung g6 oled was 650€ on prime day recently
And the "good" lcd options are like 400€ so the right choice is pretty obvious with that situation.

notice how i recommended "3600C18" for normal people and not "go out and buy dual rank B-die, tune it to 3800C14 and stress test for at least 24 hours"
1866 FCLK is not a challenge on any chip but you may have to punch in some voltages manually and that's a step too far for many, so just get 3600 and don't worry about it

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.
>>
>>102822331
You 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.

>>102822349

I mean in theory yes but how do you know they have improved VRM chips and better quality capacitors? They can simple put a B450 chip and heatsink and sell for higher

After 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.

The 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. An architecture is either incapable or they're unwilling to scale down to entry-level cannot survive long-term.

>>102822553
>The critical error was not having a transition period of AM5 boards that still supported DDR4 RAM
you have no idea how based zen 4 on AM4 would have been
there's millions of B550s and X570s out there that are both capable of supporting a new generation of CPUs (because they have 32MB BIOS chips) and capable of handling the higher power requirements of the new chips
hell even some B450/X470 boards would have been capable of supporting zen 4 with no issues
with the improved infinity fabric on zen 4 there would have been no issues running truly high-speed DDR4 on these chips either

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?
