I plan on moving over to AM5 yet choosing ram is more tiresome than I originally assumedI heard 6000mt is the 'sweet spot' yet going to 6400 will slightly increase performance and anything higher than that is slower up until >8000 which requires a bit of tinkering around to get workingShould I just buy a 6000 kit then overclock it to 6400 and adjust the infinity fabric or whatever the fuck it's called? The main issue is there are a bunch of decent 32gb kits yet my use case would benefit from 64gb which has less optionsBtw there is 1 decent 64gb kit yet with XMP only. Would configuring stuff manually be tiresome? I do not intend to run memtest for 2 days
>>103233951if you want something that just works get 6000if you want to tinker for 2% gains get 6400

Tariffs are coming.
>>103233951>there are a bunch of decent 32gb kits yet my use case would benefit from 64gbPresumably you're making some money from this PC then so just get 6000C30. The upside from going higher isn't worth the potential instability. A bad RAM OC can, among other things, silently corrupt files i.e. your capital.Imagine SpaceX using fluorine in their engines - yeah it gets you 10% more Isp but eroding the throat with HF destroys their business model.
>>103233999ni would get the 4k240hz oled they have instead
>>103234012i can't think of why you would want that
>>103234038G8? but I only have a 3090ti, 4k feels like a waste still...or I could wait until 6000 series and hopefully 4k oleds are cheaper by then hmmm

>>103234055buy a 9800X3D
>>103234130i’m not interested in that one
>>103234055If you want to do that on Intel then the 146/700k is the play.
>>103234134but you're interested in the processor that is a regression in gaming, multithreaded applications and is on an expensive new platform?
>>103234176i dont like cpu’s with less than 8 cores>>103234177the single core benchmark i seen shows the i7 is faster(i know its not called i7 but ultra core 7 265k is way too long)
>>103234192>the single core benchmark i seen shows the i7 is fasterfaster in cinebench, not in reality.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3djp0X1yNio
>>103234213the benchmark i looked at is passmark’s
>>103234192>i dont like cpu’s with less than 8 coresGood news my melanated friend; all of the CPUs mentioned so far have ≥8 cores.>the single core benchmark i seen...Actual gaming benchmarks generally show either parity or a small regression. It's not enough to dismiss the product alone but it is when a demonstrably superior model is significantly cheaper.Don't get me wrong - Arrow lake is /fine/ in isolation. It works, it's more efficient for the ~same performance, and it genuinely does do better in some workloads. It's just not worth the money for a streaming rig.
>>103233951what is your use case? i went with a 64gb 6000 kit that was on my mobo qvl because i use the thing for work.
265 will be fine for your needsof course a 9800x3d would be better but it cost a lot more
>>103234238i dont trust techpowerup or toms hardware, i haven’t looked at their reviews since high school, none of the popular review sites either, they get paid to promote products and i cant trust that. the benchmark i look at is passmark, specifically the single thread benchmark chart
is 6000mt in ddr5 the equivalent of the 3200mt in ddr4?by that i mean is just plug and play and no tinkering?
I'm trying to meme myself into buying a 9950xSend help

>>103234256for am5, yes
>>103234259Go for it anon. I boughted 7900x and I'm beating myself over for not buying 7950x.
>>103234259i just go by single core performance personally
>>103234036Data corruption is not really an issue since everything gets copied over to my network anyway>>103234243Mostly 3D porn and video editing - light coding. That aside video games are starting to require 32gb and I usually have a bunch of stuff open in the background at all times due to my workflow. i do not intend to upgrade for ~4 years
>>103234246not truehttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/pgQPsphttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/NW2nmD
>>10323405514900k and 9950x are much better options than that
>>10323429014900K is a downgrade compared to the brew Intel lineup
>>103234254Maybe you'd have a point if there was some disagreement among reviewers but "slight downgrade to parity" is basically unanimous. Passmark is a good synthetic but it's not a gaming workload. Gaming is heavily dependent on IO latency where Arrow Lake suffered a notable regression. The higher throughput, which Passmark measures, is almost, but not quite, enough to compensate.Again, I'll reiterate that these CPUs are fine. Feel free to buy one if you've got a flexible budget and don't need to minmax. Just don't expect us to have much first hand experience.
>>103234290>9950x for gaming and streamingWhy, though? It doesn't do any better than the 9700x for gaming, and recording/streaming is better done via GPU encoding.
it still baffles me that people choose Intel over AMD.did they not read the news?did they not check the benchmarks?did they not look at the prices?ah yes I want an over priced and worse performing cpu that breaks after 2 years because of shitty design/architecture.Did I forget anything?
>>103234294You sure about that? I'm seeing review numbers for the 285k landing at a 12700k, far behind 13th and 14th gen
>>103233657Best CPUs for a ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC V2 10GB?Wanting to build a PC for gaming, video editing, streaming, game design, animation, 3D modelling, etc.
>>103234294what drugs are you on.
>>103234338265kx 9700x, or 9800x3didk which one is better for production work
>>103234346265k is a joke when the 14700k exists
>>103234276>Data corruption is not really an issue since everything gets copied over to my network anywayThat's why it's an issue. Unstable memory can corrupt files in the background, for example when your SSD is TRIMed, which then get copied to your network storage.Now to be fair that is almost a worst case scenario (actual worst-case would be system corruption) so you shouldn't necessarily dismiss it out of hand. It's just that the payoff, i.e. <10% performance gain, isn't worth the potential loss. If you've really got enough work coming in where that gain is noticeably profitable then you might want to go for HEDT.
so this is a shill right? nobody is actually this stupid right?
>>103234353i think the marginal performance increase with arrow lake is because of the ai functionality, like groundwork or foundation for it then the next gen after will be much better compared to previous gen to gen performance gains
>>103234279lol
>>103233951There are plenty of good 6000cl30-36-36 64gb kits available6400 is a huge gamble since a lot of am5 CPUs max out at 6200
>>103234270I have no need for it at all, I'd be buying it purely on things I MIGHT do, like video editing, blender stuff, maybe monero mining, etc. I fucking love virtualization, but if I upgrade then I can repurpose my old build into a server, and I probably won't make use of the 9950x's full potential. But with fear of price hikes, I might actually trick myself into buying it.>>103234271Smart if you know exactly what you'll be using it for
>>103234319same for amd vs nvidiawhy anyone would buy a shitty radeon is genuinely baffling
I feel like 1440p is a stopgap. Am I wrong?
>>103234259base zen5 is an incomplete product based on 9800x3d vs 9700x comparisons imothere is not enough cache to go around and you'll be bottlenecked in every workload some more severe than others
>>103234395nahits the sweet spot right now for higher resolution panel than 1080p but sim able to hit high fps at 360hz
>>103234404In that case should I get a 1440p oled monitor then or should I just save that up to get a 4k oled monitor?
>>103234424get what you want, it’s your decision

>>103234356I compare file sizes to older backups. That aside a thousand things like that could happen:Power outageFat fingering a command and wiping the system driveSoftware shitting itself and corrupting stuff in the process If you are handling files worth more than your life then sure RAM shitting itself is a concern yet otherwise just a few lost minutes>>103234378I guess I could buy 6200 then attempt overclocking to 6400. Why not 28cl btw?
I'm priced out. I'm a failure. It's time to accept it.
>>103234395it is but youll get a ton of 1440p owners coping about how its good if not great
>>103234452get a job hippy
>>103234475I have two of those
>>103234480get a third
>>103234390Better priced usually, there's a case to be made
>>1032344406000cl28 is pretty new and only goes up to 32gb currently6200 kits are nonexistent for no good reason. Those Taiwanese ram companies haven't bothered making a good kit for Ryzen. There aren't even any expo 6000cl30 2x48gb kits available other than the intel xmp ones made by Corsair
my guess is that the RX7650GRE is meant to be AMDs budget card under $180 now that Navi 23 is finally sold and the RX8600 is probably going to be RX6700XT tier and likely $250-ish
>>103234011some big black nvidia woman employee did it
>>103233999yes, duh, it's really cheap and it's a decently calibrated too
>>103234621>RX8600 is probably going to be RX6700XT tier and likely $250-ishthat would be bad, it needs to be RX7700XT tier
>>103234564I do see a few kits advertised as 6200 yet they are sold by literally who companies so yeahThe same goes for motherboards honestly. Arrow to the knee lake is a complete flop yet received better motherboards than AM5 despite the fact there is no upgrade path for that socket
>>103234390they just don't enjoy getting fleeced for a bare minimum of extra features which notvidya would have to offer free of charge if it weren't for their monopoly
>>103234653why do you expect vastly more performance than what Nvidia got for the same die size on the same node?the 8600 will be around 150mm2 and as mentioned, perform like the 6700XT. For reference the 4060 is 160mm2 and performs like the 2080. the 5060 is probably going to be around $350 on 180mm2 and perform like the 3070
When the fuck was it that you genuinely couldn't even find a product due to artificial scarcity even? Even njudea launches arent usually this bad.
>Yeston RX 7900 XTX Sakura SugarWTF is happening? Is this Chink intelligence showing? Or was this made by chronic gooners? Sapphire, Powercolor and Asrock got nothing on Yeston.
>>103234992One vendor is selling 10k chips. Its selling better than they expected.
>>103233657Is it worth getting a second GPU as a designated encoder for 4K 60fps streaming? I can run the games, but the second I even think about recording them, my GPU starts stuttering and I can't maintain 60fps
Should I buy it for the funnies?
is the 9700X for $350 the best cpu price/power/performance wise?
>>103234319AMD builds can be a lot more expensive in some countries than Intel, especially at the time where AM5 socket was brand new>>103234390I would've got a Redeon GPU if its only for gayming
>>103235042I'd just use a capture card and reencode later, 2 GPUs on different tasks I have no idea how to do that. And makes me wonder can you use the iGPU?
>>103235060Lol no. For that price, I'd get 7900x.
>>103235060>>1032350839900X
>>103235007Yeston has been making AMD cards for a while. Their gimmick is white builds / waifu cards. They aren't high tier models though they are on par with Pulse in terms of power limits so it's a Tier 3 card in comparison to Tier 2 (TUF) or Tier 1 (Nitro, Phantom Gaming)
>>103234992for the last time, its not artificial scarcity its actual scarcity
>>1032350607700x is your best bet for overall value, and it's less than that
>>103235073My iGPU is old and slow, besides I haven't seen any benchmarks telling me that modern CPUs are up to the task of maintaining 4k60 live, even high end ones
>>103235091but benchmarks say that it consumes more power and you get less fps?I'm confused
>>103233657Tariffs in 2 weeks?
What happens when hardware reaches the limits of the typical North American home? Will they say fuck you, install a higher amp circuit to eek out more wattage, or refocus on efficiency to meet the ~2000W limit? It's not really that close yet but eventually just increasing power consumption hits a wall.
>>103235178It's good for overall productivity and decent for gaming. More general purpose. I use my machine for work too so I value the middle ground.
>>103235043what does the backplate look like? thats what most people will see
>>103235199probably nothing. many tvs already surpass the eu regulations and they just dont sell them there.chinks are the biggest consumers of electronic goods anyways
>>103235178Yeah ignore the retards. 7700 or 9700X
>>103235223You think they'll just give up on the North American market? Oh and Japan uses 110v as well.
>>103235273they wont give them up just like tv manufacturers havent abandoned eu. they just dont sell the higher powered shit there.nips dont care about pc gayming anyways so thats moot
>>10323439010 years ago I would agree. These days AMD GPUs are the only ones giving proper amount of VRAM at mid range as well as high end while also being cheaper than their equivalent nvidia cards
>>103235180invasion of Taiwan in Februaryyour gaymer PC will be confiscated by the government in order to maintain the bureaucracy
>>103235352I was thinking NA is a big enough market that they will try to stay within its electrical constraints. If you have a house or a very nice landlord you can put in a 240v outlet and run far higher power stuff in the US but most people wouldn't go to the trouble just for a computer. I did it for an air conditioner though, it's not unheard of.

>>103235434X870 Pro RS. Join us. Seriously though it's a good board for the average use case. Only I wouldn't recommend it if you want to attach a lot of storage devices, there are limitations there because some PCIe lanes are dedicated to USB 4.

Good morning /pcbg/,I am trying to build a PC but I don't really know what I'm doing.https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4Ffd6QI put this together. Is this good? Bad? Is there anything obvious I can change to make it better? Any advice at all would be appreciated.(Ignore the monitor, it's one I already have.)(Budget is around $1200 although I guess I went a bit over, Australia.)
Just bought a 5700x3d(also came with 32gb of DDR4 for free which is pretty neat) I'm going to AM4 maxxx for as long as humanly possible. Now I just need to upgrade my GPU.

I need to switch my CPU and motherboard due to a malfunction, and since I only need to buy those I thought I could splurge a bit. Can I go crazy or might there be an issue with pairing a much more powerful processor with an older, midrangy graphics card?I don't actually know shit but I worry it might overexert itself to compensate or something, just putting myself in the worst case scenario.
>>103234319I've had my 14900k before the newsI gave in and "trusted the system" with buying a new CPU fairly early on on release.It's infuriating now as the same people who gaslit everyone that the CPUs would be fine despite concerns from others about creeping power usage and voltages, are now trying to gaslight that everyone knew it would be an issue and you shouldn't have been surprised

>>103236099Mwe v2 bronze is present in cultists, but IDK if it is better than the psu that you have selected. Wattage is fine 650 is more than enough. Have you looked at better GPUs? Looks all good, would be better with a nicer GPU.
>>103235932Check with /hpg/ or /iemg/. My rec would be sony sscs5 or micca rb42.
>>103236014I'm eyeing a Ryzen 9 7900X3D and an Asus PRIME B650-PLUS ATX, basically just for videogames. It might be overkill? But I figure that way it'll last me longer.
Man I only build like every 5-6 years and feel completely out of the loop whenever it's time for a new one. Tell me what to change on this.
>>103236247For gaming consider 7800x3d or 9800xd. Windows hates 7900x3d and 7950x3d apparently. Also, get some asrock board for am5. Gay-sus is the worst. I have a 7900x myself for work, no gaymen.
>>1032362477900x3d is a trap part. its effectively a 7600x3d in gaming but costs as much as a 7800x3d

AIO vs. air cool?I had an NZXT Kraken on my last rig and it was supremely aesthetic with that sort of infinity effect but I remember it being quite whiny at that annoyingly high decible with the pump noise. Great temps though.From what I read air coolers can reach just about the same temps while being more quiet since the only noise is from large fans, who are whisper quiet at low RPM. i dont think most people bother with overclocking anymore anyway...

Is there much of a difference?
I currently don't have a functioning PC and am looking to build a new system with about $500 (minus GPU, I'll deal with that later). Should I go for Alder Lake, Zen 4, or something else? I considered Zen 3 but concluded that it's probably a rather sub-optimal decision at this point.
>>103236860>I considered Zen 3 but concluded that it's probably a rather sub-optimal decision at this point.I wonder how you could come to that conclusion. Zen3 CPUs hold up well.
>>103236313QD-OLED always, it's just way more fit as a PC monitor.If raised blacks and light reflections are issues to you, don't buy OLED altogether. It's simply not made to be used in brighter rooms if you care at all about HDR.
>>103236879Zen3 is old as shitIt's like buying a core 2 quad after sandy bridge released
Day 593 of waiting for next-gen GPUs.
>>103236915the Zen3 top end were outrageously performant for their time. their price/performance in the here and now is very tough to beat. buying a 5800x3d or 5900x is a great idea if you need a decent PC for dirt cheap. especially because you can get B550 motherboards for as low as 50 buckaroos, max speed DDR4 RAM and gen3 nvme drives similarly being thrown out for almost nothing, etc. if you have no PC right now and depend on getting great value, buying into AM5 or God forbid a recent Intel platform is not wise in my opinion.
>>103234238>see my cpu on one of these lists for once>it's 1.4fps lower than the newer versionfeels good man
Should I get a 4k monitor or 1440p? And is the resolution drop down noticeable if I go with 4k? I'm currently thinking of waiting to upgrade to a 5070 when it comes out
>>103236803>publicly states he failed the litmus test>look goys, I'm officially retarded
>>103237081My advice is to test both resolutions before making a decision. Some of us are more sensitive to aliasing and pixel density than others. If you want to future proof and have the budget, then 4k is an obvious choice. But by the time 4k gaming, whether upscaled or native, is actually something the average pleb will engage in, 4k panels will be far cheaper than right now. Plus if you want a 4k OLED you're gonna pay shittons.
>>103235460>>103235479Shit anons I was gonna go Aorus Elite AX b650 but maybe I should consider this x870 pro rs, it's not that much more
>>103237138I'm considering a 4k OLED but the smallest one I see is 32 inches and I dunno if I really want a monitor that big. I've been pretty content with smaller onesI heard there's supposed to be 27 inch models coming out soon but I haven't seen anything about it so I dunno if I want to bite the bullet and hope for a decent black friday deal or just wait
>>103237144do ittttttmore people that buy it the better, we can all collectively bitch at ASRock to give BIOS updates for every new feature
>>103237237Consider my advice. Experience both resolutions first. Maybe you'll be like me and fall in love with the crispness of 4k monitors (been using a Dell P2715Q for years now). Maybe you won't care for it and can save some money in the mid term. The 5070 is probably gonna be more comfortable with 1440p anyway.
>>103236313Another decisive C series victory.
>>103237081Depends, I used to find the difference in picture quality pretty obvious but ever since DLSS became a thing I haven't really cared that much.I liked 4k for how much it helped with aliasing, but DLAA solved the issue. If your games benefit at all from running DLSS, the difference between 1440p and 4k isn't that crazy either.In the end it's a matter of whether you prioritize FPS with high refresh rate monitors or picture quality. I find I care a lot more about the former so I went with 1440p for my primary display and I don't regret it.
>>103237305>green tint enters the chatdecisive green piss win for the LG C4. as much as I like my WOLEDs, the tech is done and outdated compared to QD-OLED.just make sure your mancave stays dark and comfy
>>103237237Wasteful. If you're not going for a huge screen, go 1440p @ 27". It's prime. You can either pay out the ass if you really really want to, or you can get a Dell G2724D and get something pretty cheap while still being really fucking good. 1440p, 165hz, 10-bit VESA certified HDR (400), and DP1.4 and HDMI 2.1 so you can actually use all the features provided.

Anons, is there a build I can make with $500 (excluding ssd cost) that flat out outperforms my old Ryzen 3500, GTX 1650 Super?
>>103237474
>>103233657>Country: Sweden>Budget 20k SEK (1.8k USD roughly)>Use case: Primarily gaming, new games in 1440p 165hz (to maybe 4K in the future)I've been out of the loop for a while in terms of hardware, but I got recommended this build for my budget and use case. I just wanted to get a second opinion or two before I actually buy it.Are there any glaring flaws, or possible improvements within the same budget?
>>103237545If you're looking for a 240hz QD-OLED, just pick the cheapest one available to you as they all use the same panel.There's not much point making recommendations about OLED with how similar they all are. As long as you get a 16/9 QD-OLED at the resolution you want it's fine.
>>103237591>Are there any glaring flawsswap the Gigashyte board for Asrock b650e Steel Legend or Riptide
>>103237570Probably not unless you go for used parts.If you're looking for a soft setup refresh, you can upgrade your CPU without changing motherboard to a 5700x3D (~$140 on Aliexpress) and pick up a 7800 XT on sale or some used 3080/4070.
>>103237709>GigashyteNTA, what's wrong with Gigabyte?
>>103237737Nothing is wrong with gigabyte but the eagle board isn't great, the aorus elite AX is much better if you want that brand. Otherwise yeah asrock makes the best boards for b650
Montech Air 903 Max vs Lancool 216? Price difference isn't that much. The large fans on the 216 makes me think it'll be quieter

>>103233657Is there any recommendation for a notebook with a Zen4 or 5 Ryzen (mid range, 7640U would be ideal) and dual channel memory (at the least 16GB)? Does not need a fancy screen nor RGB.I am looking around and almost all I can find are 5K family, Zen2 and Zen3 (20 and 30). Most also with single channel 8GB soldered RAM. No idea why they do this or why would anyone consider it acceptable.
>>103237946the ones without those bulky heatsinks at the top and top left overheat their VRMs and end up bottlenecking the CPUso basically all the budget mobos that dont have an integrated IO shield will only be good for the less power hungry CPU, some mobos also straight up cant power past 100w on the CPU
>>103238138>make things more expensive for consumers>people don't buy shitSomehow they will be surprised by this
>>103238138Probably.I'm not a clever man.

I've read that AIO's aren't as good as air coolers for the current AMD CPU's because the hot spot is off-center. I saw someone recommend buying an off-center mount for this, but then I read up on the few ones I could find and pretty much everyone who talked about them anecdotally said they actually made their AIO perform significantly worse than just center mounting it. This makes me feel like it's a nothing burger and the solutions are snake oil. I was wondering if someone knew of a good review that went over this specific problem and testing off-center mounts to see the results.
>>103238827Get a $35 phantom spirit and try it out for a week then compare with your AIO
>>103238844You aren't wrong, but I was hoping that maybe someone who actually does in-depth tests had already covered this, particularly utilizing the off-center mount with an AIO. I can't find much besides just people leaving reviews on the mounts saying they are seeing 8-10c temp increases after switching to off-center.

I know this is barely /g/ related but so far PSSR seems to be a flop, right?It only looked good in Ratchet & Clank and that's because it has an extremely high input resolution (basically Ultra Quality) and the Sony devs hand-tuned it to perfection.But as soon as PSSR was integrated into other games with the same low input resolutions other upscalers have to work with, it immediately ran into such a shit-ton of issues that it doesn't even seem reliably better than FSR2. Jedi Survivor looks worse with PSSR due to visual issues, same with Alan Wake, same with Silent Hill.Maybe it'll get better with time but it's not a good first look for PSSR.

>>103239624I don't like it
>>103239598https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiQInNk-rl0owen made a video about this. there's a case of old pssr that looks like crap and new pssr that looks fine and it's really up to the devs what version of it the game uses if they even bother updating it later. it's not like on pc where you can just google latest dlss/fsr version and just drop the file in to the game folder... on console I think this can't be done
>>103239624Not the best Mobo and Ram. Ask if you can swap them out for something better like CL30 ram and a b650e Steel Legend. Tell them you don't mind any price adjustments.Do Not take the install service. Do it yourself.
>>103239651Whats wrong with it? I forgot to pist price ($400)
>>103239655>It's already isCringe.
>>103239669I would never pay them to do that stuffDo microcenters really let you swap things like that and adjust prices? Btw they have a different mobo bundle for $50 more(same ram):ASUS B650-A ROG Strix wifiIf I want to bargain, should I still reserve it online? I can also wait for BF too.I guess i should ask of theres a mobo youd recommend I try to swap for

I forget which way it goes but one is slightly better at sustained writes while the other has better burst performance. That would decide it based on your specific workflow. Super marginal but you asked to debate angels on a pin so here we are.Finally, per the OP, there's some issue with running a 990Pro on Linux. Cuts the speed significantly so prefer the 850X if you work on Linux.
>>103239741>>103239843AM5 does not require new adapter, it's the same holes as AM4.Or do they give offset mod for free?Also I still do not consider upgrading from AM4 to AM5 worth the price vs getting AM4 X3D and justwaiting.
>>103239811buggy miniled, or something I readregardless, buy an oled instead, very close in priceand in my region its even more than oleds
>>103239960Thanks for that, I run mostly Linux, so I'll avoid the 990pro.
>>103233657Looking at fractal north xl caseAm I making things up or has the price of them gone up?
>>103239970They have it, but I think you have to buy it. If I recall correctly, the free stuff is just the basic mount for intel or amd.
I'm a eurocuck looking for an AM5 mobo, what's the price range I can expect?Right now I'm eyeing an MSI Tomahawk at eur 323, but mostly just because it has a buttload of rear usb ports.
>>103240030Wait for januare-febriary if you can, there's going to be B840 and B850 release.
>>103239973It's cheaper than OLEDs on mine, I was also looking at the pg32uqr as it's almost the same price as the gp27u
Im not seeing wtf ATX has over mATX,For instance ASRock taichi x870 vs B650 for AM5 its just Wifi 7 vs 6, 1 less USB4 port, I think 1 fewer PCI slot (what the fuck do you need a second one for anyway?), and I cant really see what else.As far as I can see ATX can fit more drives, but why not just get a NAS that draws less power than keeping your PC on all day?Im Debating between the Fractal North and Lian Li Dan case (muh wood), but even though the north is more aesthetic, I can barely justify the ATX form factor because I just don't need the extra space...
>>103240118what regionliterally look up all current oled monitors and comparecant be much different
>>103240097Sure, it just means sitting on my current system a while longer with an unopened cpu.
>>103240214It was almost the same price as the aw3225qf, but the dell sold out
>>103240229in usa? the qdoled shills might make me considerI'm waiting for a dell discount code to be active and it will reduce price 5-20% more not sure how much it is too might be the way to go in jewrop
>>103237591nah I got a feeling new games are going to need better hardware, either waitfag for the game BEFORE you buy the PC, or be disappointed.also I used to shill the 12100f, which has 80% of the performance of a 7600 in gaming for half the price (i own it and it's good for basically everything except productivity, you get what you pay for), but it might actually be better to get a 9800x3d at msrp price (+ you need to bios update for most mobo's), since even running games at 1080p lowest settings above 60fps is getting difficult (like mohun wilds). And I care a lot more about FPS than quality.However game developers are still making games that are trying to target the largest audience, and that audience are poorfags with a 3060 / 1650 which are the most popular GPU's on steam, so depending on the games you want to play, it's possible that you don't even need a new PC (tell us your specs, we will tell you what improvement you will expect, it's possible you have a gtx 1060, a 4060 would easily give you 2-3x more fps, it's possible you have a ryzen 3600, a 7500f is only 40% faster at best, same core count).Also note I don't think 7900xtx is bad with VR (assuming you would ever be interested) but I still think there probably are still issues because nobody actually buys AMD (75% of users on steam use nvidia) because the 7900 XTX tricks people into thinking it's a 4090, when in reality it's closer to a 4080 super (the 4080s is like 5% faster), and a 7900 XT is a 4070 super (the 7900 XT is like 5% faster). So with AMD you get what you pay for, it's not actually a cheaper GPU. Also nobody cares about vram except for AI coomers (amd has a lot of issues with AI), and people who turn on raytracing ultra settings (you are never going to ray trace using AMD).https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam
>>103240253brazil, there's barely any good options here
hello gamers.i kind of want a laptop so i can game in comfy places and watch movies and stuff too without having to sit at my desk. i know it's not a pc, but im not sure what other general to ask.as far as games, the only games im looking to play on a laptop would be like 2d indies, low poly/cartoony 3ds, VN, etc. do any of you have recommendations for any mid-tier spec laptops, reasonably sized? my priority honestly is just a nice screen color and at least 1 or 2tb internal storage. or if not, point me somewhere i could ask this and get a good answer. thanks.
>>103236261I'd switch to a Phantom Spirit Evo for the cooler. Same / better performance for like 30-35$ less. Although maybe prices are different in EU. I would also wait for an Asrock x870e Nova if you're going to spend $350+ on a mobo. Ram looks like shit, go CL30 6000mhz.
>>103240254>Also nobody cares about vram except for AI coomersMH Wilds hits 10gb vram and this is before the hi res texture DLC they have planned Stalker 2 hits 12First Descendant hits 1212gb vram is not good enough anymore
>>103240218Check out a few reviews and choose the mobo for your budget:https://youtu.be/57X2FygcqLEhttps://youtu.be/pUUVW7wgR3s
>>103240276$200 used laptop
>>103240206>Wifi 7 vs 6just a replaceable card under emi cover.
>>103240347See my main indecision is about 650 and 870 because of that pcie 5.0.Though I do not know if it's currently useful.
>>103240097If im looking at the taichi line, should I wait? What am I even missing out on except price drops?
>>103240340>mhwilds hits 10gb vram before hi res texture pack>modern crapcom would probably sell it as a dlc add on>yfw hi res texture pack hits 16gb vram>yfw those with 4080s.can't even play anymoreLMAOOOO
>>103240382Not currently, but upcoming mid-top Nvidia and AMD GPU are going to have PCIe 5.
>>103240276Just get any laptop with a 4060 (a 4070 laptop should cost the same, but it's not faster, it's the exact same GPU but overclocked). Note the 4060 is overpowered for your use case, but I assume you want to run unoptimized indie shitgood color screen is going to put you into the $2000 laptop section, you just need to deal with the same old IPS screen every laptop has (avoid VA).If you really care about the screen, and you are open to having a PC, but you just REALLY don't want to build it, I got you something:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnnc3W9vExcThen for a "nice" screen, you can get a IPS/VA mini-led which helps with higher contrast in the dark (BUT it's a curse, if you have OCD over the zone artifacting you might disable the local dimming while you are not gaming or watching film. But at the same time this is half the cost of OLED and you get rid of the most annoying parts of basic IPS backlights (when your whole screen is dark, like in a horror/space/etc you will easily notice the backlight glowing). Options:Q27G3XMN (VA, 300 zones, but it's one of the better than average VA's, and VA is good for contrast, note VRR flickering is when your fps drops, and the review runs 10fps->180fps->10fps to cause to most flickering, not realistic, miniled artifacts are more noticable)https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/aoc/q27g3xmnxiaomi g pro 27 (it is IPS, 1000 zones, note more zones != to better, what matter is if the zones are noticeable based on the algorithm, who knows?)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icYY_z3VQEkOP has good suggestions for 1080p monitors.Personally, you could probably get a macbook, just run a windows VM and deal with latency (maybe emulators work better).>>10324034010gb vram fits on a 4070, and I'm not a graphics autist, I'm a FPS autist, I lower my settings so I can get the most FPS possible. The second you lower the settings the vram drops down to whatever the min req GPU supports.
>>103240531I think I'll want a beefy mobo with the 9800x3d anyway, since it supposedly overclocks really well.I just wish I didn't have to drop 500 on it.
>check retail store flyer if the S90D will be discounted>only 65" and 77" lowered in priceit's over
>>103240539*oh yea, you don't need to buy the e-gpu, that makes NO sense, just build a PC you save yourself like $100 and you get better hardware.The EGPU is there as an upgrade, so if you can't run a game, just spend the $70 on the dock+cable, then buy a used GPU off facebook marketplace for $80 (1660 super /TI works well), and you will get 4x more FPS (8x more with a 4060, but that's $300).Like the miniPC should be able to run VN's perfectly well.
did you all see UDNA is RDNA5?
>DDR5/AM5 situation is a shitshow>only the new high end RTX will have respectable amounts of VRAM because Nvidia wants AI enthusiast bux>12VHPWR might burn your house down>4k 240Hz QD OLED or you're a pleb>next year's big title won't even release on PCI'm not upgrading shityou can't make me
Okay but why not get a mac mini 4?

>>103239866>shitty moboyou need to figure out what you even want from a mobowhy are you calling a mid-range mobo "shitty" lol
>>103240539i appreciate all the info, i didnt even know you could make a pc like that. but, i should have mentioned i do have a really good desktop pc thats only a couple years old. i just want a laptop for when im away from home and can still play most of my cheap steam key backlog on, without sacrificing the smooth framerate of a desktop. i havent had a laptop since like 2009 when i played minecraft at 25fps on my hp, so i have no idea what to expect performance-wise in 2024. im sorry you had to write all that though... so a 'nice' screen just immediately puts you into "entire paycheck on a laptop" territory huh? another question i have about laptops, if it has a 'gaming-tier' gpu/cpu, does that greatly impact battery life even if im just running terraria or a vn? i dont mind keeping it plugged in but i dont want it to just shit all the juice out browsing the web because i have the hardware to theoretically play elden ring.
>>103234480Move to another country with better pay and lower taxes.
>>103240809If you care alot about battery life, I actually highly suggest getting a macbook but I just remembered that only the macbook pro came out (macbook air is still m3), and it's $1600 for 16gb 512gb storage (you can use portable storage like usbc to nvme adapters, but it's inconvenient for portability). However you do get a very good display (much better than the air, 10k zone mini-led, 120hz, GPU is similar to a 4060, you can get a non-reflective display for $150 extra that reviewers show).But honestly it would make more sense to get a better display for your desktop if you spend more time on your desktop watching content. You could totally get a regular boring laptop without a GPU.If you bought a GPU laptop, the GPU should not be enabled while being portable (you can force it on but it will reduce the battery life), however that might make the laptop less useful if you want to game while being portable. While the macbooks don't turn off the GPU (but of course, for gaming, macbooks are a bit of trouble).It's also possible you want a steam deck or similar (but I can't say right now is a good time to get one, the steam deck is quiet weak but good enough for 99% of all games at 30fps).If you are just browsing the web, I would argue phones are just as good (I bet you could even get adblock working on android).You should reply in the next thread.
