You have cyberpunk? That + 1 loop of the benchmark with pt will probably tell you if it's unstable. Better than any other stress test I know of.
For my card max stable at .875v targeting 2720mhz, .950v was 3072, and 1.05v 3257. The first will very rarely exceed 140ish watts, but is 6/7% slower (but I also have on of the better cards, shittier ones that's still probably about the same/higher than what you'd see under full load)
Also I'm 99.9% sure +3000 on memory is stable on all 5070/5070ti's

The easiest way is to set a +200MHz offset using the GPU Core (MHz) slider in Afterburner, and lower the Power Limit slider (anywhere between 75~85%).
You can push the GPU Core offset a bit higher (in 15MHz increments), but it might get unstable.
You can set a voltage cap using the Curve Editor, like in the video below (flatten the right side of the curve).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPpW9yXHvOU

925 ~ 975mV is the performance/efficiency sweet spot.
https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia%20Overclocking.md#undervolting

You need to use the beta version of Afterburner to unlock memory OC past 2000MHz.

This is the source of all your problems.
Prebuilt PCs usually have proprietary PSUs & motherboards that restrict upgradeability.
It's partly to prevent owners from trying to install components that the board & PSU aren't good enough to handle, but mostly for cost saving.

You need to wait a while for Max OLED panels, I'm guessing at least 3~5 years.
There might be newer 4K OLED panels with DisplayHDR TrueBlack 500 certification within the next 1~2 years.
The current panels are technically capable of reaching TB1000, but display & monitor manufacturers can't guarantee that level of brightness to be sustainable for 3~5 years.

enthusiasts are understandably pissed that nvidia is cucking them on vram for the ~60 series cards.

but i'm getting kinda annoyed seeing reviewers talk about how shit the 60 series cards are at 1440p or 4k or whatever.

if most customers are still on 1080p monitors then it might make sense for nvidia to cut costs on vram. i view it as a shitty situation but not an evil one, and i more so blame retarded consumers stuck on 1080p.

c'mon now

>>106408454
the only cards that should have 8gb are the 50 series cards for poorfags and even then the 5050 is still priced too high.

its not just Nvidia btw, its AMD too. the 9060XT 8gb shouldn't exist.. the worst thing is they both had time to alter course because it was clear last gen that 8gb was no longer going to cut it and the 4060 and 7600 were panned for only having 8gb.

>>106408279
Not ideal airflow-wise, but they're good enough.

>>106408576
on the MSI MAG X870, they lane split like this:
>USB 40Gbps Type-C ports on the back panel and M2_2 slot share PCIe 5.0 x4
bandwidth. Both run at PCIe 5.0 x2 when a device is installed in the M2_2 slot.
>You can switch M2_2 to PCIe 5.0 x4 in the BIOS, but this will disable the USB
40Gbps Type-C ports
and
>PCI_E3 slot will run at x2 speed when installing device in the M2_3 slot. You
can switch PCI_E3 slot to x4 in the BIOS, but this will disable the M2_3 slot. Or disable the PCI_E3 slot and then the M2_3 slot will run x4 speed.
Perhaps that would be a better fit for your needs.

What would be a better case? I'm mainly looking for easily reachable usb ports either on the side or the front of the case.

>>106408685
Cases with front intake fans provide better airflow for the components, but get the fish tank case if you like the design.
But I don't think there are ones without a side vent.

>>106408677
When will we be able to just have it all? I'll sacrifice the SATA ports before the other stuff I guess

Should i just say fuck it and buy a 5070 ti? Ive been oogling over a new pc build for 6 months and the gpu market newer gets better.
Absolute cheapest 5070ti is 9500NOK(norway) which is 942$ but i was considering getting the Gainward 5070 Ti Phoenix-S GS version for 50$ more. Worth the 50$? Im tired of having to run games on low&mid settings to get more than 100+ fps. Feels like ive been waiting for nothing these last months. Black week/black friday in Norway is also terrible, every shop here turns up prices beforehand to than lower back to same prices they had

Current spec: 1080ti, 3200mhz 16GB DDR4 ram, m2 ssd, I7 8700k cpu, i really wanna upgrade so badly...

>>106408972
If you need an upgrade now, you should get it.
5070 Ti Super 24GB is almost guaranteed to cost even more.

>Absolute cheapest 5070ti is 9500NOK(norway) which is 942$ but i was considering getting the Gainward 5070 Ti Phoenix-S GS version for 50$ more. Worth the 50$?
What's the other model? Compare the card dimension from the official product page; it's worth spending a bit more if the Phoenix-S GS has the larger cooler & fans.

The cheapest one starts @ $810 in the US, and there are plenty of $900 4K 240Hz OLED monitors to choose from.

>>106409338
Similar situation here in Bulgaria - the 5070 is by far the best deal starting at 600 euro. The 5070Ti starts at 900, the 5060Ti 16GB is about 500.
9060XT 16GB is 430 euro, 9070 is 750 euro, 9070XT also starts at about 750-800 euro.
The 5070 is easily the best brand new GPU deal. On the used market the best deal is probably the 4060 8GB for 200 euro, which is low enough wattage to be a drop-in replacement for old shit like the 1060, 1660, 2060, etc. that you might still be keeping around, to breathe new life into the PC.

Man, why are Mini ITX cases so expensive?

My ryzen 5800h laptop lags really badly when running android emulators which is making me hesitant to go to AMD for my next desktop. Intel is just all around more reliable still right? I don't care that much about the increases in fps in gaming

>>106410163
Not really. They both have issues but most users won't encounter them. If your emulator uses some intel-specific technology like VT-d then sure go for it but you should look into why it's lagging first; if it's something simple like running out of memory or thrashing a core then an upgrade in that area, regardless of vendor, should fix it. Ideally you'd find benchmarks but idk if anyone benches Android emulators like that. Worth checking, still. FWIW, Intel's current gen processors aren't /bad/ in general - they just don't offer as much value for the average consumer.

i used newegg trade in to trade in my 7600 for $110 to a 7800x3d for ~280 after trade. gaming at 1440p, disappointing int he 7600 in a few select jank games. how bad did i fuck up?

>>106410163
Laptops always overheat and throttle. It's not a good measure of a CPU brand's performance as it hugely depends on the laptop manufacturer's cooling design.
To answer your question, intel's fastest desktop CPUs, 13th/14th gen, is affected by massive reliability issues from voltage causing accelerated wear. Their 12th gen is okay but slower than amd's Ryzen 9000 series of CPUs.

>>106410221
You did good. The 7800x3d is seriously impressive for how fast it is and how little power it uses even compared to the 9800x3d

Are the Core Ultras still shit? Are they that much worse than the 14xxx?

aight welp, i ordered >>106408972 5070ti not in stock so 2~ish weeks. Frame 4000D comes with 3 front intake fans, and i ordered 1 120mm exhaust fan, but im wondering if i should have another exhaust fan mounted at the back top aswell? directly over the cpu cooler?

The emulator was LD Player and it was lagging with 1+ second delay playing Azur Lane, an old gacha game. That laptop didn't have cooling issues since I could play more demanding games as it had a mobile 3060. My 10700k has no problems.

I'll be running multiple instances of LD Player or whatever better future emulator comes out on my desktop. I want my obscure Japanese indie hentai game to work. I read anecdotes like my screenshot and it makes me unsure.

Does anyone know which current platform is more reliable, smooth and snappy?

It's fine but again probably overkill depending on your workload.

At this capacity I'd be thinking RAID at the least and ideally a NAS. If you've got some backup/network stuff running already it's fine.

Almost eight hundred of the King's English Pounds Sterling for a 5060Ti.

>>106410567
Thank you. For the case, I could switch to a Meshify 3.
I don't mind being overkill with the hope of it lasting a while. My current computer has lasted me 12 years because I went overkill there also.
I think NAS is a better solution but the idea of creating a NAS system instead of just a hard drive I can slot in seems easier, but maybe that is better.

>>106410584
>For the case, I could switch to a Meshify 3
Yes that would be better temps/noise-wise but you do lose the dust filter. OTOH the (properly filtered) Meshify 2 has worse fans so pick your poison. Other case brands are available.

>I don't mind being overkill with the hope of it lasting a while
Sure but 8 is currently the "headroom" count for gaming/browsing and you will get the option of an in-socket upgrade if you ever need it. Plus FWIW some games see a small regression on the dual-CCD CPUs.
The real problem with all this "overkill" stuff is that it's adding up to a significant amount. There's probably £400 of easy savings in that build which could go towards more impactful components - a 5060Ti is not going to last 12 years. Or, alternatively, it could be put towards other stuff like your chair/audio/mortgage/etc.

>I think NAS is a better solution...
It would be. You'd get the benefits of redundancy and easy access to your media anywhere on the network. Really I'm mostly concerned about putting all your WFH files on a single HDD. Again, it's fine if your company has some sort of backup system or it's just going to be replaceable stuff like films.

I am just used to Define so don't know where to go. I don't care about aesthetics, just want something quiet with good airflow.

I looked at the other CPUs that are supposedly worse and they all seem roughly the same price or even more expensive. The same goes for the PSU. I am open to recommendations though.

I will consider NAS for now instead (all work stuff is backed up online).

I'll drop the graphics card for now and keep what I have as it is still good enough.

There's loads of PSUs that'd fit this build just fine under £100. Unless you're actually thrashing it 24/7 you're not going to notice a difference in your electricity bill by going Gold over Titanium.

>I'll drop the graphics card for now
I mean sure but my comment was more about that particular model being way overpriced. There's 5060Ti 16GB models for <£400.

Is there anything better coming out in the next 3-4 months, or should I just buy a 9070xt now and be done with it

>>106411237
nope, get a 5070ti if its cheaper in your region otherwise get the 9070xt if its cheaper in your region.

how bad is the burn-in issue in OLED really atm? looking to getting a new 1440@27", and there are some schnazzy looking OLEDs for a decent price in my country (switzerland). but around half of my time at the computer is productivity work (coding, writing, blender etc.), that's i'd say about 1-3h per day.

>>106411249
>5070ti
fuck i forgot that existed, that's probably the better choice for me

is there one better/best version of it I should get or are all the cards and coolers identical these days?

Required PSU for a 9800x3D + 9070XT combo, is 850w enough or you can do with less? Also what's the sweetspot for DDR5, is it 5600 or 6000?

>>106411359
they're all much of a muchness.
the 9070XT and 5070TI are basically identical too, which is why the recommendation is get whatever is cheapest in your region.

>>106411378
for AM5 its 6000 CL30.
you could probably get away with a 650W but 750W has a bit more headroom and space for upgrades because PSUs can last a decade.

I have two screens and I am considering a NAS system. However, I have this idea. I buy a cheap case and throw some cheapish parts in for a basic homemade NAS. I then connect my normal computer to my left screen and my "NAS" to my right screen. I connect the computers with ethernet and use the mouse without borders thing to use the same m+kb for both. This way I can have Windows and Linux at the same time.

Any reasons why this is retarded?

>I connect the computers with ethernet
Unfortunately that's not how that works. You could rig up a system where you're "permanently" SSH'd into your NAS on the second monitor but realistically it'd just be easier to run a VM if you need to jump between multiple operating systems. Plus, presumably, the NAS will be quite weak so having quick access to its compute wouldn't even be all that useful.

>>106412013
Oh well, I'll just buy some Synology box then

>>106412045
If you like. Back when I built mine they weren't great value, especially if you want to run plugins, but they work well enough. I guess your main problem is you seem confused about what you want. If you just want a NAS then you don't really need instant access but if you want quick access to a Linux environment you need something stronger than a Synology box.

IDK why this industry keeps wanting to pretend all this min-max retard shit is suitable for PCs that are expected to be used. Start putting asterisks on products on products not guaranteed to be stable over the long term and thus not suitable for "production"

>AMD does provide guidance but they're literally too chickenshit to tell the motherboard manufacturers that they have to follow it
there's a hard cap of 1.3 V SOC in AGESA
so it's probably not the source of the problem at all, asrock just wants to be perceived like they're actively working on the issue
if they pushed SOC LLC to max on old BIOS versions that might have done it but i can't imagine why they would do that in the first place

yep.
AMD feels like the motherboard vendors did them a solid by supporting AM4, even though the early 300 boards were shit. B450/X470 were better and the 500 boards were meant to be Zen3 exclusive as a way of AMD thanking the vendors.
naturally that went down like shit so AMD said "fine, 400 series can too but 300 series never"
then AMD reneged on that because Alder Lake was good and Zen4 was late.
so now AMD is firmly on top and is still acting like they owe the vendors when they really should be making demands of the vendors to stop fucking up, instead of passive aggressively locking it down through AGESA.

>>106412636

>>106413610
Allocation =/= Utilization.
The VRAM amount that a Radeon GPU needs to allocate =/= the amount needed for GeForce cards.
Obvious performance degradation & game crashes are signs that 12GB VRAM buffer isn't enough, and these only happen on games where the 4070, 5070, or equivalent GPUs are too weak to render the scene at above 60 fps with DLSS.

It's not enough to extract maximum performance out of the chip; manual static OC is recommended to get the best possible score.
You also need to OC the memory because 3DMark's CPU score scales with your system's DRAM performance.
Pic shows the world's best 9700X Time Spy CPU score. I picked this chip because higher-end ones like 9800X3D attract XOCers with LN2 cooling.

When you want the best personal record for 3DMark benchmarks, you want the CPU to be constantly running at the highest possible effective boost clock (flat CPU boost line in performance monitoring section).
When you compare other people's 3DMark records, pay attention to average clock frequency & average temp.

Bad.

The T80 IPS monitor is the better option, don't bother using HDR though.

If your phone has an OLED display, compare the HDR content image quality of that phone screen vs the IPS monitor's with HDR enabled.

watched some video on prebuilts that market looks so crazy
you've got intel 14th gen and arrow lake being sold at the same time competing?? Amd the few there are shove the 8700G into them? And they all have 5060s or want an extra $500 for a 5070 one. There was maybe one with a 9000 series AMD and a 9070 XT and it cost like $3500. A surprising amount did seem to have the 5060TI 16GB tho

>motivates me more to buy a 55" S95F since I kinda like this if anything, but wondering if 55" might actually be retarded

>almost always wish the panel is brighter always but settings that increase brightness almost always fuck something up idk

>tested HDR in ER and increasing brightness slider in this game does not blow out detail, it did some how on older monitor in hdr on pretty much all settings, even with full windows HDR calibration, what the fuck is that?
>on old qdoled monitor could see almost all the black boxes on lagom lcd test, but on Samsung can't see fucking none of them except the last, only increasing black levels in osd shows some more, should not that mean that it's worse calibrated? very strange

I'm in the market for a new monitor and trying to figure out resolution between 1440p or 4k.
I got a 4070 Super Ti. I play games mostly, including fighting games so I want very low response, but I also watch some movies here. Am I supposed to go a lower 1440p for high settings andgreat refresh rate, or 4k with lower settings and good refresh rate?

Also is OLED still a meme?

>>106414768
You're supposed to get gaming monitor and a good TV.

>>106414768
at a certain distance the difference between 1440p and 4k becomes insignificant. OLED is fine for exclusive TV (with no static logos) and movies but for anything with static elements like regular PC usage or gaming I wouldn't get one.

>>106414768
>fighting games
literally locked at 60fps usually no? so 4k

>1440p or 4k.
unless you want 500hz and play esport fps there is no point, looks bad compared to 4k

>Also is OLED still a meme?
only if you buy a bad firmware monitor which is annoying or you run into the few classical problems like blackscreen flicker that might be to nv, windos driver or software or hardware or dsc
which also existed on lcds before but I digress

or you can get a 4k 55"+ oled tv for the best quality and brightness if gonna play at 60-165hz and have the distance

>>106414793
>at a certain distance the difference between 1440p and 4k becomes insignificant.

NTA but I just bought the 27 inch G5 G50D 1440p IPS and it's pretty damn awesome for 200 euro. The stand is a fucking transformer, it can do anything. The only downside is that it's way too "deep" and takes a lot of space on my shallow desk.

If you watch movies, I would check getting an ultrawide monitor.

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/alienware-34-240hz-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw3425dw/apd/210-brrk/monitors-monitor-accessories
QD-Oled so it's more of a night time / low light monitor.

https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34gs95qe-b-gaming-monitor
lg woled panel (better in higher room lighting) but it has a strong curve 800R

now, if you don't want an ultrawide, it depends on the your eyes wether you should get 1440p or 4k. Some people don't notice the higher res for it to matter to them.

with 4k you can get 27" or 32" nowdays at 240hz. So it depends on the size of screen you want also.

did a test with CS2, tuned 5800X vs tuned 14700K
75% higher avg and 54% higher 1% low
you can pick up this CPU for $300, a cheap Z690/Z790 for like $200 and reuse the memory kit you already own (unless it's really, really bad)
14600K is an even better deal if you don't care about core count at all

i would think so, its this map

the frametime graph looks good but i don't play this game so i can't tell you what the subjective experience is actually like
i never had stuttering issues on the 5800X either btw, i only felt limited by that CPU in a few games, like modded skyrim lmao
>>106416030
power draw was at ~100W which isn't amazing but obviously it goes down if you stop running the game at 800 FPS
5800X was running 3733 14-18-14
14700K is running 4266 16-20-16
same kit, the timings are almost the same in nanoseconds, but the 5800X was limited by FCLK

>How to run CS2 Demo files
Save the nuke .dem file in ~\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo
Open the console in CS2 and enter "playdemo demo_name" to start it. You can also just enter "playdemo[space]" and the console will find playable demos you can run.

>To enable the Steam performance monitor, go to Settings->In Game, and find the Performance Monitor settings and detail level options.
The worst 1% low presented in the Steam performance monitor for that round was 97 FPS for me (after utilities thrown), and it also dipped down to 170 FPS when Ropz landed a headshot.

The game tracks utility thrown in every area of the map, regardless of where you are. The fps drops when there are a lot of utilities thrown within a short timeframe.

Used 2060 super, 2070, or 2070 super. Get the best one you can find for $150/$160ish
Could also find a 1080ti or titan X pascal for about $120. Keep in mind for the titan there's an x from 2015 and an x from 2016. You for sure would want the 2016 card if this is your choice.
Could also look for a Vega 56 or 5700xt, but these cards can be temperamental (driver type issues), and a lot of them the memory is burnt out.
In newer games even the 2060 super is way better of than a 1080ti, really want to be on Turing (rtx 2000) minimum for anything 2023 onwards.

Is that kit's 6400MT/s stably running on 1:1 UCLK:MEMCLK mode?
I'd learn to manually tune the existing modules before getting a better binned set.
It's also kind of a waste to buy novel 6000~6400MT/s kits when Zen 6's memory controller and interconnect upgrades might raise the sweet spot to over 8000MT/s.

Can someone tell me the difference between these 2 models and if either are worth getting? https://www.ebay.com/itm/267305027724 is easy enough to get the full specs but https://www.ebay.com/itm/277237933212 doesn't really come up with anything other than a single acer link that doesn't work.
