Day 584 of waiting for next-gen GPUs.

1440 27 inch or 4k 32 inch? Currently using a 32 inch 1440p but want to upgrade to an OLED and considering if I should just go 4k 32 inch instead of downsizing. It is a little too big for me right now but I can probably deal with it and it's more future proof.

since 4K is 4x1080p is the scaling for 1080p good enough for the image to be sharp for gaming?

>>103142725
all upscalers assume you're using 1440p or higher.
mmos love higher resolutions to fit more hud elements/camera fov, 1440p or 4k is a huge jump from 1080p there.

>>103142738
i'll rather play at 800x600 before using upscalers
only native res baby
my question is whether the image is noticeably sharper

>>103142735
in 2d under 30" sure
in 35-70"+ absolutely not

Wonder if FSR 4 "AI" version will be supported on RDNA 3? I'm fairly sure that it has the necessary AI cores and I feel like they'd definitely want it on the current generation of handhelds with AMD APUs.
I'm actually basically satisfied with my 7800 XT, 16GB VRAM equals practically no VRAM relate stutter like I had on my 3070 Ti and there are no games for which I'd want to upgrade to Blackwell or whatever.

what do you guys think??? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated is AM5/ DDR5 worth is?
Or should i hopback to AM4 knowing i won't have an upgrade path but it will be cheaper

I watch a lot of stuff on my monitor and I'm honestly tired of IPS glow. What is a good monitor to get for movies and TV? I guess it needs HDR too for newer stuff. I don't know how any of that dolby vision stuff works or if it works on monitors too. But I don't want an ultrawide one, 27" or 32" 1440p or 4K

That would go against AMD's vision for FSR so far. I've read speculation specifically that RDNA 3 has the hardware to support FSR 4 but not gain quite as much FPS. It's not going to require an NPU. RDNA 4 will just have more updated "AI" cores that RDNA 3 already has. We'll see, I suppose.

>>103143335
Most games don't need ALL their ram all the time.
Like imagine you have a huge map full of rooms of enemies, one seamless map so the game does not need to pause and load data
But that's what they want you to think, actual map is split in smaller chunks, that's what doors and twisting corridors are really for
With big enough cache the entire chunk with its few enemies and objects and whatnot can fit into it at once, so the cpu does not need to read and write ram all the time, only when you move between rooms

>>103143387
pairing a 7800x3d with anything less than a 4080 or 7900xtx is not efficient use of budget

Serves you right, honestly. get a North like a real man.

Hello anons, i recently upgraded my system except for my gpu which is now 2 years old. Since upgrading i'm having issues with playing at 1440p with 144fps. My gpu fans would speed all the way up and my monitors go blank and then i have to turn off my computer via the power button.

The problem occurred most of the times while playing WoW and Red Dead Redemption 1 on fully maxed out graphics settings and about 100+fps in WoW and 144fps in RDR1 with 1440p resolution. My temps in rdr average about 70 degrees. When capping the fps at 60 i don't seem to get these issues. I never had these problems with my old system config but I also didn’t achieve 100fps+ at maxed out settings.

I already tried deinstalling gpu drivers through DDU and reinstalled them, checked the cables and don't overclock (to my knowledge at least)

My new system including old gpu:

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Noctua NH-D15
MSI MAG B650M MORTAR
Corsair Vengeance 32 GB DDR5-6000
Samsung 980 Pro
MSI GeForce RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X Plus OC
be quiet! Pure Power 12M 850W 80+ Gold

My old system:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 16 GB
Crucial P1 NVMe M2

I have seen a lot of people have issues with be quiet PSUs as of late. Anecdotal of course but also just a friend fix all his issues with a new PSU. If you have the cash and time go get another PSU to test with, return if it doesn't help, otherwise feels like that 3080 may need some RMA work.

no, and SLi and Crossfire are actual dead technologies. Multiple GPUs only mattter for crypto mining these days so you're better served with a powerful single card solution rather than populating multiple slots with cards.

I used two when I had an RX 480 for gaming and an entry level HD 5450(?). Problem was: when I hooked two or more monitors on the RX 480 the memory clock maxed out constantly and it generated heat, so the zero fan feature became a nightmare, as the fan was ramping up and stopped like every 30 seconds. I swear it was even better to leave it on 35% constantly than hearing it speed up and stop every minute.

Afaik I need a new GPU and CPU, but would I need a new motherboard too? At least I can keep the SSD and 32gb of DDR4 RAM I have. Not using it for gaming still but if I'm gonna be doing animation and 3d stuff more in the future then maybe I'm overdue for some upgrades.

>>103145089
>GPU
Yeah definitely need an upgrade, idk what currently works better for VR though.
>CPU
You are just in time for 11.11 discounts and coupons on 5700X3D - should be good enough for a couple more years and you won't need a new motherboard or ram.
>SSD
Your 3D render speed might unironically be bottlenecked by saving it to sata drive, get some nvme.

I cannot justify buying a 1440p monitor, help me decide quick.

>>103145089
buy a 2tb SN770 NVMe
update your motherboard's BIOS for it to be sure there's no compatibility issues with 5xxx CPUs
get a 5700x3d
GPU is the annoying thing as nvidia is charging too much and there's a new gen coming, and AMD isn't really recommended for VR (although I haven't had any issues with a 6800xt but I used a lenovo explorer for only 15 minutes and never touched it again) and workstations

I'm using a cheap Samsung VA 4k 32" for that. Samsung has some VA panels that are much better than the common ones. If you want better than that, you'll have to pay up for OLED, which is in a league of its own.

>>103143625
Remove that extra 120mm in the center. Just stick with the 140's on the outer edges, simply giving intake on one side and exhaust on the other side.

>>103145154
>5700X3D
NTA, but wouldn't the 5950X be vastly better for 3D work? Yes VR loves the X3D chips, but if 3D work is the prime concern, and given how blender loves multithreaded performance, I think the 5950X would be better even if more expensive if he must stay on the same mobo.

>>103145089
3600 and 1660ti definitely won't cut it for VR. 5700X3D is the minimum you should consider, and the X3D part is mandatory for VR. For the productivity work, 5950X3D is an option, but if you're willing to spend money, an AM5 build wins in productivity, and 9950X3D is coming. If you're too poor to afford the big core count CPUs, just get 5700X3D.

That SSD will get full and is kind of slow. 2TB nvme is cheap these days. The GPU is going to be the pain point. I use a 6950XT in VR and it's good, but to run AMD in VR you need to be able to troubleshoot. If you don't know what you're doing and want it to just werk, use nvidia for VR since some indie devs are just one guy who doesn't even own an AMD GPU to test on. Don't bother with 8GB cards. 12GB is the new poorfag tier, 16GB+ is preferred, and we'll find out what the new generation is like soon. It'll probably be overpriced. There's people buying used 3090's for VR, which are also great for productivity, but you have to be very careful since used 3000 series cards can have burned out VRAM if the previous owner was a faggot.

>>103145437

Assuming the b450 has a newer bios release for 5900XT, this is a good content creation and gaming-orientated build that retains your mobo.

That's a nice bundle, you americanons have it good.

I'm thinking about getting a 9800X3D sometime next year and upgrading my 10yo PC as well, but it's most likely overkill for my usage. 7600-tier performance would be enough, but I would want to have at least 8 cores in 2025. X3D also improves speeds and 1% lows by a lot and that would also be nice to have.

>>103145601
the irony is that they are correct to a degree. it IS better to just upgrade your GPU if you are on a 12600k or better / 5700x3d or better

on kind of a budget, my current system is ryzen 5 3600/6700 xt and a 650 watt psu. I don't rly game that much but kind of want a faster cpu as I feel like it tends to stutter when I have a lot of shit open. Is it worth upgrading just the CPU to a 5700X3D for like 200? Will the 650 watt psu be enough? or am i wasting my money upgrading a 5 year old system and just save for a whole new pc?

>>103145601
They're right though

>>103145740
>I feel like it tends to stutter when I have a lot of shit open
Sounds more like a RAM problem than the CPU. The X3Ds are a great upgrade for gaming but a 3600 should still be more than fine for web/office type stuff.

>>103145851
13600K is much cheaper
And it can get to 7800x3d perf if tuned right with A die hynix
Buying 9800x3d is a zero brainer move

"If you already have a cpu then just don't upgrade, especially not to AMD PLEASE" is what his review sounds like. It also mentions irrelevant bullshit that's very much what a leftist would do.

>>103145929
7700X is also much cheaper, that's not the point.
the point is begging people to not buy AMD.

what matters more pcie lanes or pcie generation?

will pcie 4.0x8 be better than pcie 3.0x16?

Well anyone in here with 9800X3D? How is it running? Benchmarks? Issues? Better than expected? Buyers remorse?

>>103146069

>>103146069
Lanes
But only if you have more than 10~gb vram and more than 128bit memory bandwidth
Difference in games between pcie 3.0 and pcie 4.0 is around 1-2 fps
Can't say the same thing about gpus with 5.0

>>103145135
bottom intake is a bit dubious if you ask me
top exhaust makes more sense since it'll help your VRMs

>>103145805
would the 5700x3d over the 3600 be a significant upgrade with the 6700xt for gaming?

>>103145917
>anon forces you to use your current gpu forever

>>103146146
depends on the game but yeah
oh wait you have a lot of different apps open when you game? then more cores more threads more better

>>103146146
If the games you play are stuttering due to CPU constraints, yes. You should run RTSS to confirm a CPU bind before buying anything though.

>>103146146
It won't give you significantly more average fps if all you care about is posting benchmark screenshots, but it will greatly improve 1% lows and stutter making even sub-60 feel smooth subjectively

nobody needs a 4090 so anyone who has one had better sell it

I'm looking for a replacement 240mm AIO to fit my Lian-Li Dan A4-H2O. The computer will be used for games primarily. I'm looking at the 9800X3D, so it must support AM5. Location is Sweden/Europe, budget is $250.

The A4-H2O is an ITX case and only has a pump clearance of 55 mm, and a radiator+fan clearance similarly of 55 mm. This disqualifies the Arctic Liquid Freezer (68.5 mm?) but not the Thermalright Frozen Edge (53 mm) listed in the OP.

It currently has an EK Basic 240, but I intend to take all the current innards and put them in a different case, so I can't reuse it in this one.

The case doesn't have a window, so something with an LCD screen would be completely wasted on it. RGB is also fully optional, as I would turn it off/not connect it. If I can be picky I'd prefer the colour black, so the radiator or pump doesn't visually stand out as white between the holes of the perforated top/side plates.

The Lian-Li Galahad II is too big. The NZXT Kraken has that LCD screen. The pump of the Corsair H100i seems to be 56 mm? I see conflicting figures when I search for it. The be quiet Pure Loop II fits though and is available locally.

Any tips?

Oh, sweet. I'll see if there's any 4k stuff for black friday, then. If not, I'll stick to 1440. Thank you.

2006? Maybe 2007?
I remember 900p being breathtakingly crisp at the time compared to my 720 monitor (which I still use as my second screen).

Oh that far back I can understand the high prices then

>someone had been using a 3090 on a 900p monitor from 2006
speccyboomers never cease to amaze me

Everything is here but the CPU...
Now I must wait to test if the motherboard or RAM is DOA.

>>103147061
Mailman here, I licked the pins on your CPU. You're welcome.

>>103146373
7800x3d + 4090 cqn do 4k 60fps so 9800x3d and 5090 surely can do 4k 60fps right haha....

>>103147069
show pics so I can confirm it is indeed a 9800x3d

3090's capable of 4k. I use 3 monitors, 4k+1440p+1080p, on a card slightly slower than 3090. I wouldn't try 4k on a 1080, but 3090 completely destroys 1080. 1440p monitors still have better selection and prices, don't need to use upscaling for desktop applications, and you can run them at high fps with a 3090. You should probably look at sample monitors in a physical store to see whether you like 1440p or 4k before committing.

>>103147262
Did you try just asking customer service to replace it anyway? You can probably get an invoice from the seller's website or credit card bill too.

I'm thinking of selling my 3080 ti to a friend to replace their GTX 1080. I can do 4K gaming now, but it's really happy in the 1440p ultra range. What's a good AMD video card to look out for on Black Friday?

working as a 3d graphics artist using unreal 5 and other art related software, also do some streaming on the side. would a 9900x be more benefitial or should i just go for a 9800x3d since i do gaming too. just looking for longerterm.

>>103147377
Longterm, one would hope the 9950x3d or 9900x3d would be the chips to buy.

what's a good case with no side window?

>>103147395
for mid ATX

>>103147395
Opteron 380

>>103143625
>negative pressure
ngmi

>>103147395
Look into Fractal Design cases

How are you going to show off your waifu?

Assuming I can somehow get my hands on a 9800x3D, will air cooling be enough if I don't OC it? So far everything I've seen says AIOs need replacing every 3-5y, assuming they don't wash all the magic smoke out of your system when they die. I'm trying to build a new rig that will last another 10 years to replace my ailing i7-5820K/GTX980, so aiming to get components that won't need periodic replacement.

is mprt a meme?

>>103147485
yes, the 9800X3D has a 120W TDP but its more like 90W, whatever cooler you have already would probably be able to be re-used.

what gives? id take a 55" 120hz monitor over a 24" 240hz oled

>>103147485
you wont and no
ill go an offset arctic iii

What are the best cases to house and cool a 4090 without fear of cable bending?

>>103147590
Riser cable and vertical mount

>>103147395
i cant even find one
spewing i gave away my ft01 ft02 and 4 other cases

>>103147583
>no
>on a 120w cpu
>that isn't overclocked
>that is already running cooler than its predecessors
Don't get me wrong, the arctic III is a fine cooler, but are you retarded? A PS120 could cool this thing easily.

>>103147485
If you think you need to buy a water cooler with a water pump then you fucked up with the cpu. future chips are only getting smaller, more energy efficient and as a result cooler.

>>103147558
check out mini leds they're pretty great, OLED are a meme unless you only watch movies, whatever game's hud or work software UI you use WILL get burned in.

>>103147485
Good air coolers like the usual Thermalright should do well with it.

>>103147545
>>103147741
Thank you anon, appreciate it! The existing cooler itself probably won't work due to only having an LGA2011 mount, but the PWM fans might still be re-usable if the dust isn't too bad, so I'll hold on to those. Can use them as case fans if nothing else.

>>103147728
Good to know, thank you. I read the "recommendation" for coolers on AMD's website, but AIO seemed like overkill if I'm not going nuts with OCing. Haven't built a gaming rig in 10 years so wanted to ask advice before spending money I didn't need to.

Can anyone take a look at my planned build and tell me if everything seems OK or needs to be swapped out?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tGLrHW

I just put a 4090 there to get a general price estimate for a 5080 or 5090, I'm planning on purchasing one of those. I already own the CPU, picked it up from a microcenter a few days ago, but I'm still in the market for everything else

I'm also not sure if I should just jump for 64gb or ram rather than 32gb

>>103147856
>sata
no you are not still good

there's not a single decent m-ATX case in my country fuck my life

>>103147347
you cant do 4K with a 3080ti in modern sloppa

>>103147880
Please explain, and how do I stop this from degrading

>>103147875
1000w psu and 5090 are overkill

>>103147929
Sure you can. Not on ultra, but with reasonable settings, sure. But I did say it's happier at 1440p. Remember?

>>103147942
the drive is fine
your brain is what has degraded
its not a sata ssd

>>103147856
>sata

Sure about that?

>>103147954
Ok , so when should I start replacing this boot drive of mine?

>>103147947
my 3080ti can barely run 1440p
i assume you have not seen the state of modern games where the expectation is dlss and frame generation to hit 60fps

>>103147969
before the tariffs

Are these TEAMGROUP T-Force DDR5 sticks any good?
They're super cheap with the current Ali sale, just wondering if I'm getting fucked in some way (like bad die or poor timings).

>>103147977
Why are you arguing? I said I'm getting rid of the card. Remember?

>>103147875
If you're just doing gaming, 32 gigs of RAM should be fine, 64 would be overkill.
