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?
>>103130149It's the best CPU for any memory latency sensitive tasks. It's not just gaming. Audio production, simulations in CAD, viewport in Blender, etc.
>>103130149well its not the budget choice, 7600 isIm 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
>>103130149No its great for RT too since RT is very cpu intensive especially on a 4080/4090
What 4000 series vendor should I go for if I want to avoid coil whine?
>>103130149Factorio and cities skylines are for people of fairly discerning tastes.
>>103130163gigabyte, pny, zotac, inno3di heard the newer asus strix's are fixed too but i havent heard much about that
Used 3090, yay or nay?
>>103130179sure. just replace thermal paste
>>103130176I was thinking of going with MSI since I'm not too sure about gigabyte with my 1060 dying on me, but I'll bite the bullet with the 4070 super. It's also cheaper by a good amount, too.
Apple M4core basically all over the place, this the advantage not using pajeet window
>>103130149I 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. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/unannounced-ryzen-9-9950x3d-dominates-ryzen-7-9800x3d-in-factorio-benchmark-ryzen-9000x3d-flagship-up-to-18-percent-faster-than-current-fastest-gaming-cpu
Is getting an oled worth it for gaming over ips?
>>103130272sure, I saw some 27" oled on sale for 500€ in finland so
>>103130090>dont fall for the samsung jewWhat you mean by that? Isn't the 990 Pro as good if not better than the SN850X while being similar in price?
Realistic black friday expectations?
>>103130272In my opinion, having a good Display is equally as important as having a strong computer. Yes, getting an OLED is absolutely worth it for gaming over an IPS. It makes everything look significantly better. Especially horror/dark games.
>>103130337I just want that 4tb 990 for 250 like it was during Prime sale
Between those two, the bottom should have better vrms right?
>>103130337All they do now is raise prices before black Friday, then drop them and call it a "sale"Use keepa to check Amazon price history before you buy, black friday is usually the "best price" but not necessarily a once a year deal.
>>103130377Just get crucial P3 plus, it's $240ish right now.
>>103130348>>103130278Alright I'll get an oled monitor then. How about HDR?
>>103130133wow, no anime? amazing
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/8p7zKqDoes this build give me a good upgrade path to a 5xxx series graphics (prob a xx60 or xx70) and whatever AMD pops out after the zen 5?I'm a sperg and I need to buy everyone from the same vendor.
>>103130451oleds can into hdr usually.
is the trump tariffs jacking prices of electronics into the stratosphere legit or just some media bullshit to make me spend money now on whatever's available?
>>103130479It's only legit if it happens, and if it does it'll probably be a much lower amount than promised. Campaign promises never fully pan out. Obama couldn't get us real healthcare, Trump never finished the wall, Biden didn't cure cancer.
AMD should make monolithic cpu on zen 6, and split it again in zen 7/8/9. endless loop

Noob question, but...Can a flash drive have a BIOS file for flashback, a windows installer, and a folder for drivers and programs on it all at once? Nothing stupid will happen, will it?
>>103130783now to get that ram timming right, xmp for nub shit
I have an unopened 9800x3d in my house right now.But I can't use it as I'm waiting for my cheaper second order to arrive monday. I'll be returning this one to the scamming retailer so he can scam someone else instead.
I found a cheapish 4070 on sale, the problem is that it comes with a free copy of star wars outlaws though.
>>103130789no
>>103130582pfft, even loonix has more market share
Did you claim your 9800x3d rewards from AMD?https://www.amdrewards.comAlso claim your Tomahawk rewards as wellhttps://www.msi.com/Promotion/unknown-9-awakening
>>103130801Is it a key? Sell it on a keyshop for like 10 bucks. Think of it like a mail in rebate.
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
>>103130798>he boughted
>>103130820for ryzen it not that bad, since you got zen 6 coming on same socket
>>103130805Why not exactly?
if I'm only really doing games and normal browsing is there much need for me to get an NVME SSD or would I be fine with a SATA one?
>>103130846nvme can be much faster in poorly programmed games but generally sata is fine if you have get a quality MLC or TLC nand based drive (MX500, 870 EVO etc)
>>103130846SATA is entirely alrightswitching to NVME mainly affects loading times
>>1031305999600x won
>>103130397Bottom is worse sinse mosfets are more parallelized
>>103130873Truly unreal stutter experience
>>103130846>>103130854>>103130857For 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.
>>103130857SATA 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.
I don't get why the 9800x3d is so hyped. It looks pretty bad
>>103130943UE5 Wukong is GPU limited instead of CPU limited.Go play a MMO and 9800X3D is the best
>>103130842when you install windows installation media in usb it'll remove anything else in italso windows will install drivers automatically
I don't know if you guys can help meIs DSC (display stream compression) noticeable in any way? Besides having a couple of things not working?I'm asking about input lag or image quality.
>>103130962I get that but it still uses double the power of the 7800x3d when its not doing much work?
What's the difference between 5+3 and 6+2 vrms? Or is there no difference at all between 8 phase vrms?
>>103131011Could you not just put the BIOS file in after using the MCT?My problem is having to remove the PSU from my current system to flash BIOS for the new mother board, and then having to hook it back up to use MCT on the flash drive. I'm just trying to streamline the process.
>104 MB Cache Is that a typo or what?
>>103131172You add up L3 and L2 that's what you get. Or throw in L1 too and round it by truncation. Who knows.
>>1031311728+96
>>103131014That's higher clock speed for you. Every 100 Mhz extra is more expensive than the previous 100, power-wise.

I've never 'ejected' a single usb drive ever and never had any issues, but this one time it decides to fuck me.
>>103131172my 5800x3d launch day box says 100mb of cache
>>103130783
>>103131012One 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.
>>103130149enjoy your thermal throttling at idle, retard
Buy RTX 50, DP2.1a UHBR20 80Gbps bandwidth, never need to deal with DSC ever again
>>103131270But 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.
>>103131271watI'm not on Intel if that's what you thinkIntel went off the deep end but that doesn't mean AMD didn't disappoint
>>103131300its related to MPOs. if you're using DXGI flip model then you're using MPOs. Nvidia wont address MPOs or DSC.
>>103131300Exclusive fullscreen doesn't exist for DX12 games.
>>103131172its marketing bullshit
>>103131353He probably isn't talking about intel, Intel is known for drawing less power than ams at idle. He's probably talking about... honestly I'm not sure. Can't think of anything that would run hot at idle
WhewThat's better
>>103131389It's just the amount of cumulative SRAM on the chip, but I agree it's not a very useful metric on its own.
>>103131425If 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...
>>103131421what do vegetables have to do with zen5?
It's time
>arriving tomorrow>hasn't shippedAm I fucked bros?
>>103131421
Finally nvidia drivers can be installed without telemetry on 24h2
>>103131571>Am i fucked?>Arriving on SundayYep.
>>103131577a big reason why nvidia had such a driver lead is because of how much invasive telemetry out of the box they do versus amd.
>>1031301793080/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.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbP0YRhXHCkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq4ZHNldvGI
>>103131613So they're actually doing what they're supposed to do with telemetry?
>>103130179yay
>>103131563...to regret your decisions
>>103131592The order literally just went from arriving tomorrow to no longer being able to track it and the date vanishedhttps://youtu.be/vZa0Yh6e7dw?list=TLPQMDkxMTIwMjR4KWOWei8MNg
>9800X3D releases>within 24 hours the price goes up>today they lowered it back to the release pricewitnessing some schizo kino
>>103131776retailers can price it the way they want, unless amd sets some caps on it
>>1031317763rd party sellers
>>103130943I'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.
>>103131776They 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.
>>103131796Lol what a failAnd channels like HUB didn't even bother mentioning the power draw during their reviews and when questioned, said it was an efficient CPU (it's not)
>>103131713Intelsister...
>>103131795its the same store i bought mine from>>103131847they never had inventory listed in the first place because it sold instantly (they still dont have inventory listed)
>>103131878It is (it's more efficient than 7800x3d) but not with stock settings. I'd call it a benchmark cpu just like the 14900 was. It's pumped up.
>>103131767Well fuck. If it's any consolidation, my parcel was stuck at "being packed" for a long ass time so perhaps there's still hope. Check the tracking every few hours & pray to Lisa.
Any use at all in picking 64gb ram over 32 if you're mostly dicking around with gaming and AI?
>>103131878bait or mental retardationcall it
>>103132007you could make 32 gb cache, and put stuff on it
>>103132007if you get a 5090 and 9800x3d might as well dab on poorfags while you're at itotherwise stick to 32gb
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY now I feel good that I got a good x870E MB
>>103130599All "content creators" deserve to die anyway, so less power to them.
>>103130156>simulations in CAD, viewport in Blender, etc.if you could only afford 8 core options in the market would you still go with AMD if using that software is your goal?
>>103132216yes because I want long term stability, you do not want to have to worry about Intel degradation and E core issues on a work machine
>>103131796Oh my God... it zips files slower.
>>103132373yes anon. thats how benchmarks work
>>103132373Americans measure time in Millions of Instructions per Joules?
>>103132157pretty goodnow make competitive GPUs so jewvidia cant rob me blind every time
>>103131636telemetry is supposed to be opt-in, not forced on the user. when you install amd drivers it asks if you want to send your data to amd. with nvidia it just does it without asking.
>>103130200I wanted to recommend the same to a friend but it doesn't make sense sadly. 9800X3D is basically trading blows with or beating the 7900 in productivity benches most of the time.
how stupid will I feel when the 50 series launch if I upgrade now from a 3070 to a 4080 super? cpu right now is not the best so it would be a bottleneck for sure but I'm waiting for the 98800X3d to actually be available here. I know the 50 series are just around the corner but the mexican version of black friday is coming up and there will be some sweet deals
Are there any good USB-C mice that can be wired or wireless with buttons to adjust the DPI on the fly? I've looked into the Glorious Model D 2 PRO Series, but the complaints I've seen about their build quality has me doubting that they'd be good to purchase.
>>103132492You 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.
if I had to buy a wireless PCIe card, and might want bluetooth with it, what sort of chipsets should I look for? what sorts of sites can I look for the straight up M.2 A/E keyed wireless chips? is there any real-world identifiable differences between wifi 6, 6e, and 7?
>>103130813what are the rewards for AMD?
>>103132619direct from AMD themselves>Radeon 7600 XT and above>Ryzen 7 7700 and above>Ryzen 7 9700X and above>Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2>Unknown 9 Awakeningunsure on 9000X3d, they only mention 7000X3d & 9000 non-X3d I checked the rewards page, and turns out I never claimed Devil May Cry 5 from back when I bought an RX 580, oops
>>103132576if you thought the 9800x3d sold out quick, the 50 series will sell out in a fraction of the time and take even longer to come back into stockit's your call if you want to roll that dice and risk it
>>103132576Literally, just wait. In 2 months we will have new high-end Nvidia GPUs. Patience anon.
>>103131796it's nice to see that literally no matter what benchmark I'm shown, my old CPU is so ancient that it's a massive improvement regardless
>>103130133What is preventing AMD to slap-on a 36GB HBM3E die on Zen6 and eliminate the need for system memory? They could also eliminate L3 cache.
>>103132809as somebody on an Athlon X4 845, I know that feel (still probably won't upgrade though)
>2018: intel best for gaming, amd best for productivity>2024: amd best for gaming, intel best for productivitywhat happened?
>>103130943>>103130962Leave it the verge to present the most useless benchmark>>103132825>intel best for productivityI wasn't aware that Intel released the 9950X this year. Intel is good for nothing.

>>103132825intel decided to use intels fabs to make chips, that didnt go wellIntel decided to not do chiplets for better yields and economics, that didnt go wellIntel decided to up the volts until their chips reached #1 on cinebench scores, that didnt go well

>>103130173X3D 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.
>>103132007you mean arrow lake 285k cinebench? it's only a couple points ahead but at substantially more power while costing more. the power stats aren't good. 285k was specifically tuned to beat 9950 in cinebench, just barely.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-ultra-9-285k/32.html
>>103132888But you wouldn't have to spend a 100 bucks on a 2*16GB kit.
>>103133043I want it, i can tell reviewer gonna shit on it
>>103133043I'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)
>>103133211HBM2/E is too slow to replace L3. 1024-bit of HBM3E would be around 1254GB/sHBM2E would be around 460GB/sMy theoretical idea would be to replace the need for system memory and L3 cache at the same time.
I could see intel doing that

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?
>>103134435thats the only resolution that matters according to the internet
>>103134315A bigger die means a HUGE increase in the chances of the chip being faulty.Faulty chip = money lostThat means that big dies are exponentially more expensive and in low supply because of the difficulty in manufacturing.
Man, should I grab a threadripper 5955WX for 1500 usd? It's the cheapest option really. A sensible purchase.
Is the Liquid Freezer 3 refillable? Google is not really giving a clear answer for some reason. Considering baby's first AIO, because I'm sick of cumbersome air coolers that need to be dismounted if I want to do any sort of adjustment or update to other parts of the MOBO/PC.
>>103134617>I really do not want to be getting fucked with electricity bills>would it be worth shelling out an extra $60-100 for a titanium grade over the other two?No
>>103133330Update. I've actually managed to get to the bios & update it, kek. I've unplugged everything, left only essentials like cpu, 1 populated ram slot mobo power cable & Cooler and somehow it posted. I'll take this as a win & continue on tomorrow as my head currently hurts from the seething I've endured for the past 4.5h.
>I'm going to give this product a 1 star review because it's currently sold out from official retailors, and I can't purchase it at MSRP Why are people like this?
>>103134774Can americans speak English?
>>103134617I 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.
>>103134850Thanks 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.
>>103134850brother, if you need to minmax PSU performance... you should save some more money
On the note of PSUs, do nvidia gpus still get random power spikes?
>>103134954Not really no
>>103134954>>103134959Keep in mind spikes are more to do with board design. Reference and OC will spike harder than a custom card with undervolt.
>>103134959undervolting largely fixes these, no?
>>10313488412 cents per kwh. It's currently drawing 120W (measured by the UPS) at the normal background load with CPU usage around 15-20%, including server stuff that's always doing work. Gaming takes it over 500W. >>103134891If I had more money I'd get both and benchmark them against each other.
>>103135036if thats what you like then feel free to do so
>>103134617If you're a power schizo, undervolt your processors and set frame limits.Use your monitor at lower brightness, HDR consumes more power.
>finally bit the bullet and upgraded from a GTX1650 to a RX7600feeling good lads.
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.
>>103135266Dangerous game, update it.
>>103135302Fucking shitlel. I suppose I'll start working on making a replacement claim.
>>103134617The 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.
>>103135266you should updatethen run stress testshttps://www.ocbase.comevery 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
>>103135343You 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.
>>103135343Don't bother if you haven't noticed any instability
>>103135266>>103135343>my chip runs fine blah blah, is it broken?dude your cpu is obviously fine. update the bios and stop sperging out

EUropoor (I’m poor for real).I do not want to go above 1080p 24 inch or outside of IPS.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?Or do I buy a 27-inch 1440p display that’s priced close to a XG2431 and just use black boxes around all the way to 21 inch of monitor area and benefit from high ppi 1080p?
Have they released the dual ccd 9950x3d yet? Once they do I’ll f5 OC forums and obscure youtube videos, curious if they’ve fixed the architecture flaws, as in instability at stock settings in sha3 tests and other stress tests.

>>103130451By HDR it's usually meant:1. high contrast ratio, which OLED has2. 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 onWith 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.
I'm building a CAD modelling PC. What do I need? Money is no object really.

>>103135645The 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.>27 inch 4k resolution with integer scalingThink 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.
>>103135589Yes.
>>103135759Unless ofc. the western company is not American, the there's a flat tariff on the end product.Like ASML machines, which I'm not even sure if America buys.
>>103135737>It'll look like total dog shit4k panel will be better than the 1080p in terms of pure specs, less screen dooring effect, whateverare 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 toobest use case on 1440p is running 720p integer for sharpness too if you wanna esportsfag it upbut 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
