>News & Rumors
Microsoft Windows 11 24H2 update may cause SSD failures; DRAMless SSDs are more vulnerable.
If you have a potentially vulnerable SSD, revert Windows update, disable automatic Windows update, & use Registry Editor to set 64 MB HMB allocation policy (or disable HMB).
https://www.neowin.net/news/report-microsofts-latest-windows-11-24h2-update-breaks-ssdshdds-may-corrupt-your-data/

RTX 50 Super: might launch in Q4 '25, 24GB VRAM for 5070 Ti & 5080 Super, 18GB for 5070 Super.

>Omissions
RTX 5070: buy if it's reasonably priced & if you plan to work around potential VRAM bottlenecks.
RX 9070 non-XT: worth considering if it's significantly cheaper than the 9070 XT.

Intel 13 & 14th gen i7/9 -K CPUs: BIOS update required due to reliability issues. Recommended to set a CPU VR voltage limit (1.4 or 1.45V).

Seems like MSI is the one that spends the most on sponsors and marketing. In my country they also sponsor some minor IT/PC building portals, with one of journalist of said portal saying he has MSI Godlike MB and MSI 4090 Suprim, probably for free from MSI. They also seem to have a lot of various actions like buy their products and get a steam card, and so on.
Then there is Asus which doesn't spends that much, at least in west, and then Gigabyte, which just doesn't seems to care much about sponsors.

>So, here are some screenshots from the power cable. As you can see, it has signs of degradation. The plastic around one connector has been slightly melted. So yes, the melting issues are real.
Lmao all 4090s and for sure 5090s with the higher power draw are for the trash in a couple years. dso gaming did everything right and still with regular use this happens. Imagine buying a $1600+ or $2000+ gpu with a planned obsolescence connector that fails after a fear years of use. Meanwhile shills and nvidiots doing damage control here and on r*ddit everyday that the connector is a great flawless design and all cases are user error just slandering the glorious jensen and his cult of geforce.

What bugs me is the following (also referenced in HUBSteve's roundup):
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#c=169,166,167&m=8&sort=price&page=1
There is exactly 1 (ONE) 800-series chipset board from ASUS available for under $200 (even accounting for the budget B850 chipset). No clue why they are having trouble being competitive this gen on features/value (though cheaper compatible 600-chipset are still available).
>>
>>106382237
>whats taking so long?
A mix of honest problems
>shortage of controllers and memory modules
>low amount of manufacturers worldwide
>manufacturing getting more difficult and expensive in a similar manner to how it's happened to CPUs and GPUs
And bullshit like price gouging and cartelling, especially when it's been shown for the past half decade now that people will just pay whatever price they ask and the small minority of people that kick and scream about it almost always still end up paying anyway, so why would they drop prices and compete when they can just continue making record profits especially when governments and regulators will do nothing because they're in on the take too.

ASUS effectively owns ASRock, and ASUS is fine with ASRock making the lower-margin boards.
People who buy ASRock boards weren't likely to buy ASUS ROG or TUF boards to begin with.
ASUS is happy with ASRock taking business away from Gigabyte and MSI.

ASUS Prime video cards are fine btw.

>Be a bad father and don't take a free high performance gpu for your daughter
Steve never said in his review that the card was total dogshit and unusable. The problem was the price and lack of a big generational performance gain against the 4080 and it's horrendous value compared to the 9070 XT and nvidias own 5070 ti. Obviously a free gpu is the best value gpu, he barely talks about the 5080 in that video or any of the individual products. The focus of the video is doing something nice for his daughter which you will never understand since you are a perma incel brand warrior for trillion dollar companies in your parents house.

You're retarded and this is standard practice for all hardware and pc related reviews on youtube even negative ones. It is not an endorsement. It is a link to a listing of the product discussed so if someone decides after watching the video they wish to purchase it based on their own conclusion the channel can benefit. Here is a screenshot of his 5060 video description where he was positive about the cards performance but still was weary to recommend it due to vram concerns, still linked in the description regardless along with all other current gen gpus. A link is not an endorsement schizo.

He also left links for the rest of the MSI parts that were sent to him by the company. I guess that means HUB officially recommends all MSI only for a pc build and only with those specific msi parts.

It describes the content of the video which is him building a new "ultimate gamers bedroom" AND keyword AND indicated by the + she also got a new surprise pc and it lists the two core performance parts of the PC CPU and GPU to drive engagement and clicks.

Anyone that actually watched the video will know that in it he barely talks about the MSI products, 5080 or anything else. The majority of the video is him building the room and then he glosses over the new pc even saying his daughter didn't really need a new one but MSI offered and he accepted like any nice father would, in exchange he puts a little compilation of the pc he built and if someone decides they like the look of any of the products there are affiliate links in the description. This is normal practice all PC related content on youtube. Gamers Nexus and others do similar things where products from brands will get a brief segment even in a video unrelated to them.

Double check they are SEATED properly, new plastic connectors are stiff as hell and you might think they are seated, but they are not. Both at MB and PSU if it's modular. Then check if you connected PWR connectors properly, or if you're short circuiting - that you're doing it to right ones.
Double-check that RAM is seated properly: depending on manufacturer there are latches on both sides that must click and require force to seat down the plank, or only on one then you hinge it from one side until the latch on the other clicks.

Do LEDs on motherboard/LAN light up when you switch PSU on?

Normal sponsorship practice is turning down offers that go against your values.
HWUB Steve literally downclocks GeForce cards by over 300MHz in his reviews, says Radeon cards provide better value, criticizes NVIDIA's review guidelines, but he just can't turn down free GeForce goodies.

Even Jayz2cents ended a comfortable ASUS sponsorship (well over six figures annually) because he couldn't stand by the company's RMA practices.

>>106383344
I don't own Nvidia but when I had to flash my AMD card I had to run the flash tool twice in order for it to go through. It's a hidden "safety" thing.

If that doesn't work you can always use a ch341 programmer. No soldering required either just attach clip to the BIOS chip and go.

Hey, I'm old and this GPU upgrade doesn't agree well with my eyes. Maybe this new BIOS would fix this as it lists some "LED issues".

Though I'm beginning to believe that it's some gay windows shit because increasing display frequency from 60 to 75 or enabling G Sync, lessens eyestrain considerably.

Yes because it is a cpu limited game which the lightweight Linux OS and RADV Driver excell in. Even on jeetdows AMD can reach higher fps in cpu limited games due to njudeas massive overhead stealing cpu perfomance. IIRC nvidia drivers are more software based and run their shit in the cpu while radeon does it on the card itself.

That AOC monitor has a miniLED local dimming zone (around 300), it has better contrast & HDR image quality.

>also if you didnt upgrade to 1440p mid 2010's you must live in the 3rd world or something
1440p monitors in mid 2010's cost as much as high end 4k oleds do today. So it's understandable why the majority of gamers and now even today are still on 1080p. It's only the last few years that 1440p became much cheaper which is why 1080p is losing share to 1440p every month on the hardware survey.

2015 had sub 400€ 1440p monitors and each year they got cheaper, you had 144hz 1440p monitors at 350€ in like 2017

32" 4k ips monitors stayed ridiculously high priced in eu tho. Its like some cartel shit.

1440p is a pointless cope, it's so close to 1080p there's almost no difference. It's either ultrapoorfag 1080p or 4k there should be no in between.

Am I? I find it highly amusing and suspicious that the resolutions almost mirror the state of graphics cards. 70 series being the 1080p and 80 series being the 1440p which is barely a step up in power with a huge gulf to the 90 series which is 4k. It's almost poetic how closely they match up.

How do you all deal with using 1440p and 4k displays?

I've used 17.3in 1080p laptops for as long as I can remember over the past 15ish years, and I recently switched to a 16in 1440p laptop, and a lg 27GP850-B 27in 1440p monitor, and I think I hate it.

The laptop's screen is fine, aside from the fact that I need to use Windows scaling and get it really close to my face to have shit be usable (i'll get back to that), but the monitor's text clarity is is terrible: So many pages and applications have text blurry/hazy, or overly crisp and high contrast vs the background to where it shimmers, etc, and even at 1440p games actually seem less crisp then they did on my other laptops at 1080p

Maybe my monitor is just bad, I know the model I have is known for low contrast, but at 100% scaling it's pretty much at the limit of usable menu, window and text sizes, so if it were a 4k display instead, I would absolutely need to turn Windows scaling on, and that makes stuff blurry (which defeats the point of a high res display), and even if I was okay with that, Windows scaling or even just text size tweaking actually changes the size/zoom of images in my web browser too (even if they're open as their own tab/url that ends in .jpg, .png etc, not just within other web pages), which makes windows scaling entirely unusable for me

I could maybe get a 32in 4k display, but even this 27in one is almost too big for me, with the corners and edges of the screen requiring me to actually look down, up etc, and extend out to the side past the center of my vision enough that I can perceive it's not angled towards my face: I could get a curved 4k display, but I don't know how that would work with a colimeter for color calibration (which is another headache I'm dealing with and am struggling to understand).

Am I fucking stupid and am just missing something here? Is windows scaling less terrible at 4k due to the pixel density or something?
>>
>>106385187
typically you just turn 150% scaling for 1440p and 300% for 4k and forget about it
>>
>>106385187
Yes at 4K you get integer scaling with 1080p. 1440p scaling is a mixed bag
>>
>>106385187
you cant see beyond 768p on laptops the same you cant see beyond 1080p on windows
>>
>>106385203
Do most people not give a shit about being able to view images at their actual native resolution in a web browser? Aren't the menus and text for everything blurry?

>>106385209
Surely a 1080p image at 27in must look terrible though?

yes it looks awful
1080p stick to 24" or smaller
27" 1440p can work but even that's moving to 4K now with newer monitors
gaming is the only thing keeping these 1440p monitors being made at all

Does the scaling just look less bad even at 125% or 1`50% or something then it does with 1440p, not just at 200%?

Hey guys I've been having occasional issues with my GPU and am not sure what's causing it after recently upgrading. I have a 5070ti and my CPU is a Ryzen with the AMD Adrenalin built in. I had issues in the past where when launching certain games (primarily Elden Ring) my screen would go black and it would lose connection to the GPU but the computer would still be running and not lose function, and the screen would periodically return. The other issue I've been having occasionally is that when launching certain games the screen will go black, GPU crash, the fans on the GPU go max speed, and its dead and I need to reboot. Like I mentioned, these only happen to certain games but it appears to hit at random. I've done full clean installs of the drivers on both (which resolved it for a while and allowed me to play Elden Ring). Any idea what could be causing this?

Recently upgraded from a 2070 to a 9070 XT and I decided to test the schizo meme that radeon has better colors on my new 1440p oled I also got.

I wasn't expecting a difference but there was definetly something I could see. The colors on radeon were just noticeably a little bit better and popped nicely. On my 2070 it just looks a little bit muted and off. It isn't a huge difference and the reason I think no one really talks about this because you can't see it on screenshots or anything like that, but in person looking at the monitor there is definitely a difference and makes the Radeon image feel higher fidelity. And yes before anyone copes I did DDU and everything proper with my testing. The only variable was the GPU.

You know what they say about assumptions right? I did that in the control panel not long after I got my 2070 and wondering for a month why the colors looked weird and I finally googled it. It definitely helped and the colors were acceptable to me after this change but in my recent testing the Radeon colors looked slightly superior regardless. Like I said it is a slight difference in any case.

There's a trick to get better colors on Radeon it involves toggling the color management settings from OS managed to GPU managed. Once you do that it makes your monitor pop as long as it's 10bit or 12bit.

nvidia did use to have different color reproduction, but that was a long time ago.

Like I said the difference is very slight and probably not noticeable to the majority of people such as yourself even so of course AMD isn't going to market this as a feature. I however have very good 20/10 vision and I'm telling you my anecdotal experience that there is a difference. IDK anything about how this stuff works but my guess is that Radeon drivers just render and resolve colors in a more vibrant way that pops better than GeForce.
>>106385730
I didn't do this for any of my testing but wow I just tried it and now it pops just a little bit more even wow.

looking at that sub its really confusing to see someone hyping amd products
to me the hype things in pc gaming for past year has been 1: ray tracing 2: ML upscaling 3: hdr/contrast from oled/va miniled 4: image clarity from high fps/bfi

Amd just doesnt fit in to anything exciting. The first time they didnt fuck up RT was 9070 xt release, same with ml upscaling. Gpus only tangentially related to HDR, rt makes the image better with it, so amd is irrelevant there. Nvidia pushes image clarity forward with frame gen + special backlight strobing. 500hz oled monitors wouldnt be exciting unless you could fill it up with 4x frame gen.

That's actually an important point. Big Billy with his own money to spend does have a rational reason to go Radeon since it means he can achieve some level of good graphics for (in theory) less money, that's the hype. He's willing to compromise and let a few details slide because its at his expense. But if you're receiving a GPU as a gift? Getting a Radeon feels like the gift giver cheaped out instead of giving you the best they could afford

That's the point, Steve's lineup showed that there are more than a few with too weak VRMs for top end processors. Fair's fair those who want to get a productivity machine will likely opt for full ATX for all the storage and peripherals they can get, but the few who want a portable min-size mATX (with a handle) can be screwed if they don't properly research their motherboard.
