so am I right in assuming 9800x3d is designed for the competitive esport gaymer playing slop like cuckstrike rather than people with more discerning tastes?
>>
>>103130149
It's the best CPU for any memory latency sensitive tasks. It's not just gaming. Audio production, simulations in CAD, viewport in Blender, etc.
>>
>>103130149
well its not the budget choice, 7600 is
Im not sure if its even the great long term choice since the 12 core and 16 core variants with l3 cache under both ccd may be even better

No its great for RT too since RT is very cpu intensive especially on a 4080/4090

I went for the 12-core 7900 for better multi-core performance, and the low stock TDP being very easy to cool. It's been a big upgrade for compiling software.
For top of the line in both realms, I'd wait for the 9950X3D. It's only been leaked thus far.

How stupid would it be to buy a board that costs the same as (or a little more than) the CPU it'll have installed in it?
Thinking about copping a Ryzen 7600 & B650 LiveMixer, board costs about $300 AUD, CPU about $285-290
The board should last for fucking ever (outside of some freak electrical issue or something like that) with the connectivity it has, and while I would like a better CPU, I don't really need more
My other motherboard option would be an A620 board that seems good enough, at half the price of the LiveMixer

SATA is entirely alright

For a OS drive you want a NVME because they have much faster random IOPS than any Sata SSD.

For games it don't matter since you're bottlenecked by read latency not read bandwidth.

>>103130857
SATA is entirely slow, the only reason you'd use it in CURRENT_YEAR is for spinning disks or if you want to nerf your SSDs after running out of PCI lanes.

One of the biggest annoyances with DSC and Nvidia GPUs is the alt/tab black screen bug. If you're using a monitor that is using DSC, you will get a black screen for about 2-5 seconds each time you alt/tab out of a game. Nvidia has been aware of this bug for a long time but has not done anything about it.

Aside from that its virtually lossless.

>>103131270
But isn't that an issue just with exclusive fullscreen?
Nowadays I have a lot more trouble on exclusive fs than windowed borderless. Even with my AMD GPU, without DSC I found it annoying to alt+tab out of games on exclusive fullscreen. If I'm going to do that frequently, might as well do it windowed.

It's just the amount of cumulative SRAM on the chip, but I agree it's not a very useful metric on its own.
>>
>>103131425
If anything Intel are behind amd in marketing bullshit, for some reason they only put l3$ amounts on the marketing materials. Where they lag behind amd severely. But they have been beefing up l2$ immensely every generation, having far more of it than AMD. I am guessing the reasoning for this is the ring bus topology is a tremendous bottleneck on l3$ throughput; especially on 20+ core chips which all have to share the l3 bandwidth like 20 hobos trying to pass around a single saltine cracker. Ultimately having more local cache on each core is the only way for them to squeeze out more performance.

AMD probably has a similar configuration to ring bus on the cores sharing the same ccd and cache but multi ccd goes a long way, amd share 8 cores max per ring instead of 24. 2 ccds effectively doubles l3 throughput...

>>
>>103131577
a big reason why nvidia had such a driver lead is because of how much invasive telemetry out of the box they do versus amd.
>>
>>103130179
3080/Ti & 3090 will have a higher chance of randomly dying because the loose overcurrent protections allow current spikes that are high enough to wear out and eventually kill the power stages.
If you don't nurse it (undervolting, fps caps, & power limits), it's a matter of when.
This is one of the reasons why used 3090Tis are sold at a higher premium, it's not just binning.

I've been seeing many of these efficiency benchmarks that show that my 7800x3d is still king. I know that 9800x3d has more efficient silicon and is much cooler but you'd have to go out of your way to change the settings in bios to make it not go crazy with power.
>>
>>103131776
They probably just ran out of inventory and scalpers sold them at inflated prices.
Can easily happen with a new product.

It's usually best to wait a month or two for inventories to become plentiful and shops start to compete on price.

>>103132492
You can't expect people to voluntarily contribute. They'd rather have broken shit than send data on what kind of settings do they use in a game and what happens when it crashes. Nvidia is basically thinking that the customer is a fucking imbecile and will not accept this deal and instead keep complaining on the forums, so they force this deal down, but they uphold their end of the deal (which many corporations don't).
I mean shit, even when opt-in, even when FOSS, a lot of projects get shit on because the word telemetry just creeps people the fuck out. No matter what it is about.

X3D does fuckall for Factorio real gameplay.
Normal benchmarks with microbase running entirely inside the cache at 600 updates per second are meaningless in a game capped at 60 updates per second; and when the save gets so big it begins to lag, the cache is no longer able to contain it and performance scales linearly with ram speed.

I'd imagine it would only be cost-effective for AMD to incorporate HBM3e into something like Threadripper/Epyc, because I'm pretty sure it would cost a decent amount per gig at current volume.
>>
spent a bit of time looking into volume & pricing of hbm3e, and it'd only really be feasible (in regards to AMD's R&D & general manufacturing costs vs complexity, as well as a consumer-perspective) to throw in a few gb (2-8GB) of some sort of HBM (likely HBM2/2e) as a sort of 'X3D+' on the Ryzen 9 chips
not entirely unreasonable, but you'd still be leaning on at least a 2x16GB D5 kit at that stage
(yes I'm autistic and needlessly fixated on this totally theoretical 4chan post)
>>
>>103133211
HBM2/E is too slow to replace L3.
1024-bit of HBM3E would be around 1254GB/s
HBM2E would be around 460GB/s

My theoretical idea would be to replace the need for system memory and L3 cache at the same time.

When I do AIDA64 SHA3, it runs for like 10 seconds and spits out a result, no crash or error or anything. Is that the intended result or am I retarded? Otherwise I ran AIDA64 stress CPU and FPU enabled (I think its running AVX 512?) for half an hour and cinebench to make sure the score wasn't somehow going down.

How big is the energy efficiency gap between gold / platinum PSUs and platinum/titanium PSUs? I may be moving to California for grad school and on the off chance the apartment I rent doesn't cover utilities, I really do not want to be getting fucked with electricity bills, since CA has the 2nd highest energy rate in the US, only being beaten by Hawaii. Like would it be worth shelling out an extra $60-100 for a titanium grade over the other two?

A bigger die means a HUGE increase in the chances of the chip being faulty.

I did the math when I bought my PSU and my platinum requires about 5 years of running non-idle loads 24/7 to come out ahead of gold using US East prices. Which is exactly what I'm doing with it, so I'll break even next year. Plebs who turn their computers off every night are fine with gold. Titanium was terrible value and you should only consider it if money is no problem. If you want to be an efficiencycuck, focus on CPU+GPU efficiency and undervolting, minimizing the number of fans, and being SSD-only.
>>
>>103134850
Thanks anon, do you know what your energy rate is? California is 31 cents per kilowatt hour. But I know places in the east like Connecticut / Massachusetts have similar rates. I'm going to be there for at least 3 years, if I do end up going there, and I don't turn my PC off at night, although my current build goes into some sort of hibernate mode after a while, so I imagine my next one will too. What exactly do you mean by non-idle loads, because I usually leave browser tabs and shit open but it's not like I'm running intensive programs overnight. Maybe a gold is best for me, unless I end up working longterm in CA follow school.

I have a 13700kf and I'm only just getting around to updating the BIOS after Intel said shits fucking fucked bigtime m8. I purchased this last year one September 1st and have been using it pretty much everyday for gaming, with a fair amount of demanding/poorly optimized AAA titles (Dragons Dogma 2, Cyberpunk, Jedi Survivor, Starfield, Space Marine 2, to name a few) I have not encountered a single BSOD or crash, and can't say I've noticed any stability issues. Would it be reasonable to assume my chip was one of the lucky ones that dodged the issue, or am I playing a dangerous game here? I'm probably going to give this PC to my little brother soon, and I really don't want to give him a ticking timebomb because he's really looking forward to having a PC.

The difference between each tier is like 2% at high load, maybe more at idle.
A very rough load estimation for 20 hours of 100W idle / 4 hours of 500W is 4kWh / day or ~1500kWh / year consumed.
The difference between PSU tiers would be 30kWh / year.
That's $9/year saved for $60 extra initial cost. Might actually be worth it if your PSU comes with 7+ years warranty.
>>
>>103135266
you should update
then run stress tests
https://www.ocbase.com

every chip has a slightly different V/F curve, unless you have a $500 motherboard you probably can't access the VID table directly but if you have one of the better 13700Ks it's gonna take longer to meaningfully degrade

You don't need to RMA the chip if there's no issue, this most likely means you got a decent bin where the chip didn't request dangerous levels of voltage to prepare for a heavy workload (shader comp etc.).
Some motherboards were undervolting these chips by setting low CPU AC LL, some chips weren't good enough to run stock specs at lower voltages and were crashing.

Update the board BIOS to make sure the chip never requests over 1.55V.
Intel's going to ask you to update BIOS, set Intel Default profile and run a series of test before you're even allowed to send the chip.
They will probably turn yours down because it's working fine.

Do I buy the XG2431 for its 60hz all the way up perfect BFI.
Or is the 6+2 CRF a deal killer? I assume a pure 8-bit monitor will not have retarded artifacts due to the dithering so it might be worth the sacrifice over a potentially shittier BFI?

By HDR it's usually meant:
1. high contrast ratio, which OLED has
2. high dynamic range, which OLED has and at its peak since individual organic pixels light up bright as fuck instead of dimming zones behind which are far from ideal, but they obviously decay and unless the firmware on the monitor is top tier to re-calibrate the global intensity of every other one you'll notice something called burn-in.
3. high color space which all OLED since their first release had, I don't think they've regressed for no reason since it only becomes cheaper to produce them at higher color ranges as time goes on

With all this said HDR is a meme but it'll be a meme that you'll experience as close to as intended as money can buy.
For youtube videos and 90% of historiacal video games and new releases you want a SDR mode, which still visually benefits from OLED a bit, mainly due to the contrast ratio.


BUT keep in mind that OLED lacks a BFI implementation since that will kill their brightness and they still use catch and hold method of image presentation, which means you'll see a lot of motion blur, which cannot be fixed unless you go 500hz+ and that means real FPS outputed by your GPU not just screen refresh.
This is why probably for motion clarify you need some VA/IPS with dimming zones and BFI.

The monitor is not impressive in terms of specs, since you can get the exact same for 1/3 of its costs but the BFI is really the best implementation you can get for that, software tunable to the max. You cannot juice it further than that so you get pristine motion clarity.

Think about it, 4 pixels become one pixel, the effective PPI for the 1080p image on the 27-inch 4K display is about 81.6 PPI do not confuse it with native 160ppi of the display at raw 4k input.
It'll look like total dog shit, meanwhile a 1440p 27inch display with black boxes can show me a 21inch active area that results into ~108 ppi for 1080.
Native 24 inch 1080p is 92ppi so downgrading to 81.6 is a no no.

>>103135589
Yes.

Unless ofc. the western company is not American, the there's a flat tariff on the end product.

>>
>>103135737
>It'll look like total dog shit
4k panel will be better than the 1080p in terms of pure specs, less screen dooring effect, whatever
are you talking about the other 1440p blur buster monitor with BFI or something?
why would you wanna run a 21" area with black borders? sounds so bad too
best use case on 1440p is running 720p integer for sharpness too if you wanna esportsfag it up
but all these things are just bad either way, idk

>Native 24 inch 1080p is 92ppi so downgrading to 81.6 is a no no.
it's not 81ppi though as explained, it's literal 160ppi on a better panel
but idk

Learn what integer scaling means, learn what a pixel is, learn what a square inch is, learn what math is and work them out.

I just want a monitor with

Is it really that difficult to find?
>>
>>103135853
I'm tired, regardless, I am right, it's very simple, the only thing worse is 1080 on a larger 27 compared to 24
But if both were identical.. anyway
But regardless if you want strobing there are not many alternatives, I don't think I would bother at this point in time, but also all those monitors are overpriced
And games are not exactly locked in fps either

Define doing. You won't get ass cancer from setting a 144hz+ monitor 60 or 120 until you upgrade, just don't buy one that's strictly 1440/60(75).

>>103137019
yeah it'll be fine, however the new GPUs will be out in January so you'll probably be able to get more performance for your dollar if you wait until February.
however there's also always upgrading to the 5700X3D if you feel like the CPU is falling behind.
also you should stop using speccy as its abandonware and never worked very well in the first place. Use Hwinfo64.

>Want to get an OLED monitor. Does 240/360hz really matter that much?
Here's some head-to-head comparisons of 240 vs 360Hz OLED:
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/msi-mpg-271qrx-qd-oled-vs-asus-rog-swift-oled-pg27aqdm/47131/37157#test_1425
It defintiely helps as does 480Hz hertz:
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/rog-swift-oled-pg27aqdp

However, the difference in motion and latency is nice, but I wouldn't compromise a "slower" QD-OLED panel for a higher-refresh regular OLED. The difference in panel uniformity and color gamut/volume is not worth it especially losing the rich glossy finish for a matte one.

>Also thinking of the Gigabyte Aorus and MSI MAG. Which would be better?
They are all equal, just see if one model has a feature set that really appeals to you (such as a KVM switch) or barring that get the one that's cheapest.

>>103137019
Only thing you might want to upgrade is your CPU to a 5700X3D on Aliexpress while you can before Tariffs hit in January:

Not really, no. Consumer NVMEs don't give off a ton of heat (and the ones that do ship with their heatsinks like premium RAM kits) on the controller and the NAND chips actually like being a little toasty to work optimally.

You guys fucking lied. Just fired up my 14900k rig and ran cinebench r23 253 pl1 load lite 7 and it's drawing like 140-150w. Cool air is coming out of the top of my pc. We're staying around 60c.

>>103137218
Use HWMonitor to see the motherboard's model name and then look it up on the manufacture's SKU support page if it has BIOS updates and a CPU support list for the 5700X3D which is ~$140 on AliExpress as in >>103137103 You can then drop in whatever GPU your budget allows and not really have to worry about anything else*.

*There are a few slop games that chug with 16GB of RAM:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mklCPWNyJC0
You can get a cheap 2x16GB DDR4-3200CL16 kit in that case, but first check and play the games you like as for most titles 16GB is still fine.

If you weren't already on AM4 this approach wouldn't be viable (say Intel 8th Gen or something) but in your case I don't see a reason to spend anymore than this to upgrade.

Yes check the PSU model. Some prebuilts can use really weird custom models that don't even come with standard PCIe power cables for the GPU (probably not true for your system since it already has a 5700 XT).

I got a 9800x3d hopefully coming and a 3090. I'm looking at getting high end components for my rebuild and setting up a custom loop. do these components look alright? I was told recently to avoid Corsair, even on the ram, so I'm not sure what the second best options for that is
>>
>>103137230
No, airflow really works. However it can be counterintuitive and hard to get lined up right, so you can't trust the marketing. I don't like glass cases and tempered glass is particularly shit, but I went full tower with phanteks instead of small, so you'll have to find the small case fags for recommendations, or watch gamersnexus reviews with case thermal tests.
