Of course the APU has a instruction on the bios to tell the motherboard that it can display video and there are cases which the GPU is 99% and CPU is 1%
But it's not a separate power. I mean it's a discrete GPU inside the same CPU shit but bear in mind it's using the same gold pin connectors as the CPU
The power is not being delivered through usb, M2, PCIE or sata.

>>102823963
Okay maybe my wording was a bit wrong. To put it simply, I just want to know if what that graph is showing is accurate. As in if that the CPU and the integrated GPU combined are using a total of 128,8W? Because most resources about the 8600g claim only half that much, which I can only assume is because they are for some reason not taking into account the power usage of the GPU.

yes in that case the GPU and CPU are using less than 128,W of course, as you can see in that picture it's 64W and 64W only. Even if the CPU and GPU were at 100% it would be 64W only.

RX6600 is probably the best GPU for that. Not to mention it's inherently very power efficient, and you can underclock for like half the power draw and 75% the performance (at least).
And to be honest, there isn't really anything else that is even near it in that regard.
Everything else either eats a lot more or the same for a lot less performance (even if the card is initially cheaper).

Someone recommend me some good USB -> SATA enclosures. Need to backup some files.

>>102824103
Thanks, under $800 is pretty cool
>>102824146
how does the RX6600 compare to the RTX3060, is there any significantly noticeable difference?

I am currently running a 850w psu from a few years ago and im planning a gpu upgrade over the new year, calculators say it should be enough to deal with a new stuff but being an older unit im concerned itll just shit the bed when it runs close to capacity

This is irrelevant for 99% of games. Besides your monitor should support an advanced freesync technology which I'm sure it doesnt even if you buy an expensive OLED monitor
And finally regular and sane people lock at 144hz when they want to play competitive, even if that translate to only 0.3 to 0.6ms in advantage, considering your ISP is shit and servers are even worse it doesnt translate in real world difference.

4070 Ti Super isn't far removed from the 4080S in price here while the 4070 Super is considerably cheaper, so unless the two are basically identical in performance I don't see the 4070 Ti Super being such a great value. As for the 4070 Super, it depends on whether it'd be able to perform well enough at 1440p.

>>102825277

He only commented on the 5090 but the gap in pricing would be too small for the absurd gulf in performance in that case, I guess $1200 and $1800 then?

>>102825388
Not him, I would expect the cards to come in at the same price points as current MSRPs, e.g., $600 5070, $1000 5080, and $1600 5090

How much of an improvement over the 4090 are we expecting the 5090 to be?

Should I use the 12VHPWR Adapter that comes with GPUs or should I get one that my PSU brand sells?

>>102825415
>He only commented on the 5090
No, he called the M**D speculation on pricing down the stack 'totally fake.'

>I guess $1200 and $1800 then?
If you're including VAT and/or street pricing, maybe. The 4090 is currently selling for above MSRP and has been for most of its life. You can get a decent 4080 Super for MSRP + 3% ($1030) in the USA.

>>102825452
Either one. The adapter that comes with the GPU is probably more reliable than a no-name brand PSU's cable though. But it's fine if it's a reputable brand, like Corsair.

>>102825447
I would guess 30% in raster, maybe more in RT
Don't let the number of shader cores (or TFLOPs) fool you: performance doesn't scale linearly with either once you're considering the biggest dies

>>102825452
adapters in general are bad
use a single cable from gpu to psu
preferably from your psu manufacturer but cable mod makes decent ones (cables, not adapters)

>>102825489
Has the 4080 Super ceased production? Otherwise I don't see them just straight up replacing it with the 5080 as a straight upgrade in the same price tier.

>>102825532
I doubt there's oversupply of AD103. New graphics cards are always better value than older ones at MSRP (although sometimes not by much), especially higher up in the stack. Nvidia mostly competes with itself, meaning it releases more attractive graphics cards to stimulate sales. Same reason it released the RTX 40 Super refresh with revised pricing

>>102825514
That's a respectable improvement. It should remove the need for DLSS in a number of 4k titles.

Anons, after lurking for a few months I finally nutted up and built a new PC. Only problem I'm running into is that when I restart from Windows the mobo doesn't reboot. The dram light on the mobo pops on and I have to hard shutdown the PC. All my drivers and the os is up to date. I'm running Win 10 ltsc. I've run memory stress tests with OCCT and Windows memory diagnostic and had zero errors. Mobo is Rog Strix b650e-f, 2x16gb Gskill flare x5 (cl 30 version), 7800x3d, and a 4080 super. Any ideas? Or is this fine?

It's 2024 and many games from 10 years ago can't run at 4K 60fps on a 4060 or ARC 770

>>102825600
Yeah but xx90 cards arent meant for consumers. they are the titan enthusiast replacements. hence why they're like $2000+

Why do people keep recommending the 4070 super over the 7900GRE?

>>102825690
Against MSRP, yes, but not against street pricing. The 3080 was selling for $900+ right up until the 4070 released for $600. In this case the MSRP and street pricing of the RTX 40 series is similar, so if pricing stays the same, performance has to go up. It's possible that the 5080 will return to OG 4080 MSRP, so $1200, while being approximately 4090 perf (and that would still be better value than the 4080 Super, although not by much), but I doubt it. The RTX 40 Super refresh lineup increased value over the launch 40 series lineup, and that's the trend you'll see continue with the RTX 50 series. I don't think it'll be as good as RTX 20 Super --> RTX 30 based on MSRP only (e.g., $1100 2080 Ti perf released for $500 as a 3070), but I would expect value improvements in line with the RTX 40 --> RTX 40 Super refresh. Nvidia pushed out either 15% more performance for the same money, or the same performance for 15% less money. I would think that would be the minimum improvement we're looking at for the 5070 and above

You seem to be retarded
First, because you don't understand that DLSS Quality at 1440p has better than or equivalent to 'muh native' image quality in 2/3 of the tested games, while being significantly faster.
Second, because the 7900 GRE isn't appreciably stronger than the 4070 Super even when ignoring DLSS or RT
Third and finally, because reconstruction is the reality of new games. If you're not playing new games, you don't need a new graphics card. You'll be using reconstruction sooner rather than later even if you overbuy now like a retarded luddite

>>102826042
You'd rather have a gpu that performs at 80% performance but 100% efficiency than 100% performance & 80% efficiency?
Why? Are electricity prices that shit in your country?

>>102826042
i think the results by the TPU community are reasonable
i'm surprised 10% care more about RT performance than VRAM, that's a lot, but i guess they don't have a heavily modded skyrim setup using a million gigabytes of VRAM

>>102825988
I got one of the custom chink mousepad ones from aliexpress. They make them in a bunch of common desk sizes, skip the 2mm ones & skip the unstitched or badly stitched edges ones too. Look for a 3-4mm thick one with nice flat stitching on the edges (check pic reviews)
Printing was surprisingly high quality. I imagine a TON of the deskmats sold in the west with popular designs are just resellers that order from these fuckers in the first place

I haven't ordered custom before, I have a bunch of Ultrapro mats and Kickstarter'd mats. I found a site called YourPlaymat.com that allows full custom sizing since this image is also a weird dimension, but the pricing is bonkers.
>>102826083
I've avoided chinesium markets for a long time, but I'll take a look.

>>102826065
I'll be honest, next GPU I get will likely be Nvidia because I wanna try out RT
Looks really good in the little bit I've seen of it in benchmarks and whatnot so I wanted to see what it's like to actually play it (at a reasonable framerate)
VRAM just feels like a means to an end, what's the point in extra vram if you don't do shit with it

>>102826122
>VRAM just feels like a means to an end, what's the point in extra vram if you don't do shit with it
i've seen what happened to 3080 10 GB owners, you always think you have enough VRAM until you don't
unless you upgrade every single generation always get more VRAM than you think you need

>>102826122
>what's the point in extra vram
to run RT, DLSS and FG

>>102826059
I dont think that GPU performance at the hardware level is going at the rate it once was so there using much more power for smaller gains, you see more gains with DLSS etc. Rather see them work on efficacy what we really need is for developers work to optimize games like they used to do. Most modern titles don't really look much better despite calling for beefier hardware.
>>102826065
Some of the AMD cards have more Vram and get btfoed by nvidia with less kind of like ghz on CPUs some times it matter other times it doesn't, what it can do matters the most. More is good though

Keep in mind, some of these aliexpress stores WILL do custom sizes, but you'll have to pay a bit extra for it. It likely also won't be all of them, so you'll have to contact the seller & deal with shouting back and forth with someone that seemingly doesn't understand english too well, trying to hit the balance of being descriptive enough to make it clear what you want and not being overly descriptive to the point where they get confused

This is an example of the shit I was talking about. They seem to offer custom sizes, judging by the "any other size" option.

There's really no competition for x-raypad. They do custom mousepads that are actually a significant step above the normal aliexpress shit, but you're paying for that difference. Apparently they're up on aliexpress now as well, might be cheaper there, idk

I've been told by /g/ that native resolution looks way better than DLSS and zluda can do everything nvidia does.

>>102826396
Xraypads are still pretty commonly talked about. They're considered good if not great mouse pads in general and are probably the only ones like that that do custom prints.
Yes their website is complete dog shit but I've learned better than to let that hold me back. Just shows they haven't spent a bunch of money to some Indian to redesign their site when it's still functional.
Again. Keep in mind that this won't be the best possible mouse pad and it won't be the best possible print quality but if you want a combination of the two it's likely your best bet.
I opted for the cheap chinkshit option and I'm happy with it but I didn't need a good/great mouse pad since I'm terrible at aiming regardless, I just wanted something that covered my desk and looked nice+was comfortable

>>102826452
>I just wanted something that covered my desk and looked nice+was comfortable
Same here. But I'd rather not do a back and forth with some chink. I guess I could try looking at Etsy sellers for something cheaper.

>>102826230
Imagine how much of a pain in the ass it is to unlatch the GPU with that brick in the way? It's already difficult as is with how big modern GPUs are getting.

>>102826474
I feel like ESPECIALLY on Etsy you're just paying a middleman. Do you expect some individual to have the equipment to make a stitched custom printed desk mat? Think I glanced at it myself and it was just the same items but higher prices when I checked.
I'm more inclined to believe your original link dues it in house because they likely push higher quantities.
Id just try hitting up a chink and seeing how difficult it is to explain what you want and how much you can up with. For all you know he might just immediately quote you a price after you ask for a custom printed mat with specific measurements and stitching option. If he seems too retarded, not much time lost you know

>>102826505
I actually knew a commission artist who made a rule with himself, he would do one commission each month with no restrictions at all, anything goes, he'd like auction the slot of and then work on it a few days and that one commission paid him enough to live off that month and allowed him to actually make the art he wanted. He said he absolutely fucking hated it but there was no other way he could spend like 25 days a month actually making what he wanted because it wasn't exactly commercially viable
Maybe if Hitler just did one furry piece a month we never would have had the camps

I have 6700k, would i notice difference if i purchased something like 15th gen i7?

Muh VRAM is nearly useless on gaming cards
Their PERFORMANCE will almost always be the limiting factor, not VRAM

>>102826656
no

I feel a lot of problems could be solved if people just stopped being so poor

>>102826672
Most don't have the juice to be limited by their vram but some models are dead because of it, like the what was it, 3gb 1060? That card was a fucking paperweight, iirc it performed worse in some games than the 1050(maybe to)

Better to have too much than not enough, especially since vram needs keep going higher and higher. lacking the vram you need is devastating to performance

Can anyone get me a pc part picker list for a mini ITX PC?

I am mostly going to use it for a Linux box to run emulators and virtual machines for weird shit like Amiga emulators, Mac emulators, etc so that it would have the oldest video card it could that still supported both VGA and HDMI (probably an ebay based ATI or AMD card)

That being said, I just need a parts listing for something that includes an AMD based build.

I ask here since I'm torn between a Fractal Ridge or to go full out autistic to find an Amiga themed wedge case that supports mini ITX.

Mostly using it as a computer replacement since I haven't built a comp since 2017 and my old tower is kind of sitting on the floor, and would rather build a separate one instead of child proofing the cables on the bigger tower.

Are there cases in which DLSS or FSR quality will look better than native?
Theoretically that sounds stupid so I've never tried either DLSS or FSR on my 4070 ti super but I felt like asking anyway.

>>102826896
FSR generally looks worst of the upscalers but dlss should pretty often look better than native using TAA

You just use dlss on all new games and not think about it. if you want more fps you just increase the scaling factor

DLSS is often better than native, while FSR is rarely or almost never. DLAA is basically full resolution DLSS, so it can be slightly clearer. If you have a 1080p or 1440p monitor, you can also use DSR or DLDSR in conjunction with DLSS or DLAA to get substantially higher than native image quality

>>102826122
There's plenty of time before you "need" a card that can RT well, and Radeon should be in a better place by then.
The performance hit is still too significant, we're still about 2 gens away imo.

I'm looking for a RAM upgrade to 128 GB on my x570 system, and while looking through options, I came upon a 64GB kit and a 128GB kit from G.Skill. The sticks themselves are all the same, but I could save 10 euro by buying two 64GB kits, and they'd be here by tomorrow instead of at least 2 two weeks.
Would it do any harm if I actually bought two 64GB kits? Are they specifically matched?
The kits in question are
>F4-3600C18D-64GVK (64GB Kit, 2×32GB, same Sticks as 128GB kit), 118,33€ each on Mindfactory
>F4-3600C18Q-128GVK (128GB Kit, 4×32GB, same Sticks as 64GB kit), 245,16€ on Mindfactory

>>102829464
with the amount of RAM being so large you run the risk of not getting rated XMP/EXPO speeds. I would spend the 10 if you actually need 128GB

>>102829464
Just get the 4 sticks kit
3600cl18 is slow/loose enough to have multiple different ICs used in this performance bin

>>102823475

Is any of the new announced Intel CPUs a possible good replacement for a 12400f? as in very low power draw, idles at less than 10 watts, while still good enough for gaming?
Or do we not know yet?
Would it be a good idea to wait half a year to see what AMD and Intel are really up to this generation?

So the 4 Stick kit because the two kits could wobble all around in terms of MHz? Even if I don't want to OC?

So the 128GB Kit I chose is fine? I'm also aware of a 3600CL16 128GB kit, but that runs on 1.45v instead of 1.35v, and another 3800CL18 64GB kit on 1.40v
I really don't want to fuck around with RAM too much on this system as it's my workstation. I'm even considering 128GB of ECC, but the 30€ price hike compared to last year really soured me on that.
>>102829676
>OC is anything above JEDEC
True, but in mind, it's not really OC unless I have to decouple the IF clock (Around 1866 on Zen3 non X3D, haven't fucked around with the 5800X3D though so I don't know)

name one usecase that NEEDS a current gen setup

>>102829751
If it's for work then I don't think you need the single % improvement you might get from going to 3600CL16 at the risk of paying more and your CPU's memory controller potentially not being able to handle it. Honestly you could probably get away with 3200CL22 unless your workload is extremely memory sensitive.

Big noob here. I bought a 4080 super during Amazon Prime Day for £900 last week and I've just found out about the 5000 series could be releasing in only a few months.

It's the first time I've ever gone big budget on a PC so I'm worried I've bit the bullet too late in the release cycle. If you were me, would you just cancel the order and wait it out?

Whilst I'm here I'm also seeing people extremely dissapointed to see that the 5080 leaks show 16GB RAM, it's making me second guess my card altogether considering how expensive it is and people say "only" 16GB of RAM....

>>102830667

Unironically you need more. New games are pretty much unplayable at 4K max settings, the top 2-3 cards are good for 2K and the rest is 1080p slop.

The DLSS image has better motion stability but worse everything (more blur, more aliasing, downgraded shadows, downgraded lighting, downgraded particles, downgraded ambient occlusion, downgraded screen space reflection, any graphics setting that scales with your dlss resolution is affected which is every graphics setting you can pick.

You're fine, don't fall for the 50 series shills.
They stopped production of the high end 40 series so they're likely afraid it'll be a higher value option and they don't want to compete with their newer cards. I genuinely think if you delay buying a 4070(ti)super or 4080super rn you'll end up regretting it in like four or five months
Plus you seem to have gotten a decent deal

Even Nvidia is pushing this shit. "1707x960 is better than native 2560x1440"

Deferred Rendering.
This is how devs cheat by putting endless amounts of lights in one scene like Cyberpunk but it requires using TAA to look presentable. You see what happens in Cyberpunk after you disable TAA and every light at night flickers like a seizure.

>>102826122
I play Cyberpunk with RT medium (not path tracing) and 1080p internal resolution to 4k output, with moded FSR framegen.
With a 3080Ti, I get 75 to 90 fps (dogtown, nightcity), but the 12GB are full all the fucking time to the point some textures and assets are not loaded and keep their low res even when they occupy the whole screen. Ads keep switching from low to high res, it's disgusting.

Hello is this the thread where a newbie can ask questions?
I'm tech illiterate and I was offered a pre-built PC so I I can play all AAA slops
Pic related is the spec, around $960

and without it, instead you see classic TAA ghosting.

Ironically the XeSS shader thing was the best since it didn't have ghosting and the jagged edges and shimmering weren't that bad.

why the X3D?

>>102831685
you get fans, a better design and better thermals with the pop air for the same price.
as for the Noctua cooler, its fine its just overpriced when the Thermalright Peerless Assassin and Thermalright Phantom Spirit are both £34 and perform the same.

the 4000D is fine, but you can get more for the same price.

For productivity programs maybe but they run fine in VM on Linux.

anyone here running gaming VM's under troonix?

>>102832144
You dont need VMs for gaming. Just run it bare metal. VMs are for DRM so up their ass its basically windows malware like anti cheats or adobe drm. even more reason to stop using windows on bare metal btw.

If AMD runs so much better on Linux and steam supports Linux, could I get 4090 like raster performance if I build a machine around Linux and a 7900?

>>102832242
It doesn't work that way.
"runs so much better" is different than "faster".
In the simplest form: On Linux AMD just works contrary to NVIDIA

>>102832260
the irony is barely just works. but that's AMD hardware in a nutshell. at least it is upstream.

>>102831749
>you get fans, a better design and better thermals with the pop air for the same price.

You're right it does seem better. I have fans from my old case though so maybe it all balances out in the end? I much prefer the non-window option for the Fractal one too. I can't cancel the order as it's dispatched but I can have it sent back if youtube videos further convince me. As I said I'll have it for a very long time so I'd prefer to get a great functional case.

Thanks all for the input

how much would a 7600(x) or 7800x3d have been?
If you're just gaming, the 7800x3d would have beaten it and 7600x would likely have saved you a lot

yeah ddr4 2x16gb is half the price of ddr5 2x16gb (40 vs 80). alternative is 2x8gb ddr5 but i think ddr4 is better at that point since some modern games at 1080p can run slower if you only have 16gigs afaik

>>102823695
imo
>TV
if you have friends that come around so you can play vidya together. 4k is nice but idk about using 1440p on native 4k; at that point i think 1440p native monitor will be better

if you're mainly on your own and sitting fairly close (arms length) from monitor.

and idk your budget but oled monitor's seem like the best choice out of the panel types

>>102823531
>Nobody is buying ddr4 in 2024
damn bro I didn't know I could put DDR5 in my am4 build, thanks

While I wouldn't recommend building a DDR4 system from scratch, a lot of people will be upgrading existing systems & upgrading from say a 1600+1060ti to a 5700x3d+7600/4060ti will likely also need more ram

>>102824103
>>102824042
3060 12gb > 6600 imo but latter is cheaper

4060 > 3060 12gb if you want power efficiency (4060 has less vram though but more horse power) (3060 can be undervolted to 4060 power levels but will perform typically worse outside of vram intensive games i suppose)

>B760 MSI Pro or Asus T UF
why this mobo? because its good or is it also power effecient?

>>102824146
>>102824206
4060>6600 for power efficiency afaik. plus it's a more powerful card.

an undervolted 4060ti might do better at the same stock TDP as a 4060 but i'm not sure

>>102832317
I'm a brainlet, which CPU would you plug into that configuration considering I was okay with that price tag? I also don't mind saving money but it's only second priority. First priority is not having to upgrade for a longer period of time, so future proofing.

>>102833058
it will be a bit faster and cost what the 7800x3d cost on release

>>102832412
Probably just a 7800x3d or if you plan to play at high resolutions even just a 7600(x)
The 7800x3d at current prices seems to be about 30 pounds cheaper (while performing better in games), but the 7600 is 250 cheaper
Of course, there's not really a GPU you can upgrade to so the savings can't be placed in other parts to get better performance but hey.
If you also went with a thermalright, you could have saved like 300+ quid which you could for example put towards a better monitor which (if you don't already have one) make a pretty big difference
If you already have a good monitor, maybe a better chair or better keyboard, etc.

Good CPU for a 7800 XT? I usually multi task a few things when i play games(emulators/VMs).

>>102833310
Depending on your non-gaming load you might want to target at least 8 cores. It's speed of course depends on your games/res/hz.

For the record I use to multitask as well with VM's, automation and other kind of shit and I've found that anything newer than Zen+/Haswell with at least 6c/12t and enough memory does the job.

Does anyone have any other similar things a setup might benefit from that people don't usually add to their lists? I guess a good surge protector goes without saying but there's gotta be a couple more similar things.

CPU contact frame especially on intel 12/13/14

M.2 drive heatsinks

PWM cable extenders and header multipliers

Decent screwdriver bit set so you don't fuck up screws using the wrong bits.

zipties that go well with the colour of your components (black zipties in a white build stand out like a sore thumb).

Antistatic bracelet, tweezers, brushes and isopropyl alcohol for cleaning.

On systems you fuck around with a lot or that basically act as test benches, having cable mods/extenders makes it much less of a pain to swap psus around or organize psu cables but unless you do tons of that they're not worth the money.
