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).

>9800X3D? I read there's no point to it unless you have 5090
It depends on the game, the resolution, and the framerate. Certain games can use the extra cache and benefit greatly from it. For low resolution and high refresh rates, you'll see more benefit from the extra cache. With high resolution and low framerate the perf improvement over a 9700X is like 2-3% average. So it should be less necessary for the use case for which most people probably get a 5090 (4K, max settings).

My continued G80SD / 32" QDOLED observations

Honestly, I now think the subpixel arrangement and the fringing is actually a real problem, it creates a noticeable red outline at bottom and green outline at the top of everything which gives you this chromatic aberration/3d/color vibration look that makes it impossible for your eyes to focus and sears at your eyes

140ppi with qdoled is just not enough and some say it's not even good enough with the 27" 166ppi ones, maybe the 220ppi 5k ones will be good enough?

looks liked WOLED won on the desktop honestly, however I've never tried it thoroughly but allegedly it's not as abrasive as qdoled

at this point it looks like I'm either buying a WOLED or going back to LCD

I bought a 4080 but only because it came directly from Nvidia as I just cannot stomach throwing money to 90% of the companies out there.
The juice isn't worth the squeeze in alot of aspects and I'd like to hear how people rationalize some of the shit nowadays.

There should be a PBO ECO mode you can toggle in the BIOS, the exact method varies by board vendor.

>5000 series over 4000
As of right now it's basically just multiframe gen + 4000 series is too expensive even used usually. DLSS transformer and framegen at 2x actually run a little bit better on blackwell too but not enough to matter all that much(as far as I know)
RTX hair is coming to indy and it 5000 exclusive, that's totally going to be huge...

Long term Blackwell and whatever amds next gen is will (likely) be the baseline, like turing and rdna2 were. Going to be 2-4 years before you see that actually matter but still something to keep in mind.

Outage isn't the main scenario UPS helps against. It's momentary "blinking" of power. Not even enough to dim standard lightbulp all the way off, but enough to shut down your PC completely. Also it's good idea to put some protection between your ISP cable and PC, if it's not an optic. You don't know what spaghetti those faggots actually set up and how safe it is.

In most cases I'd assume that's a browser sitting idle and just consuming some RAM, or a video capture utility that's probably running out of the GPU anyway. It's not going to move the needle much on an 8 core, 16 thread CPU.
And again, as the resolution drops the difference increases. Not to mention if you're addicted to something like Factorio the extra cache will actually speed the game up a lot. The X3D processors aren't pointless. But they're well beyond the sweet spot on the price/performance curve unless you have a specific need.

>>106446030

if you spend the bare minimum to get current gen stuff it'll be a pretty alright build for gaming
eg 5060 300€, preferably a 12-16gb gpu instead.
150€ am5 mobo
200€ am5 cpu
50€ cooler
100€ 32gb ddr5 ram
150€ 2tb nvme ssd
100€ psu
100€ case

this then facilitates upgrading to high end parts like 9800x3d or 5090 later without issue

Last gen budget builds are problematic. going am4 in 2025 is a bit sus since you cant easily upgrade the cpu as it would require swapping multiple parts. Last gen amd gpus arent worth buying. Last gen nvidia isnt really worth it over new gen. Used gpus come from crypto farms.

5070 would be 2x-3x before any dlss, rt, or other ai trickery. 1080p even with DLAA it's totally overkill for most games, Cyberpunk PT and unofficial remix mods are the only thing I can think of that you'd have to use up scaling for.
5060ti is pretty good too (right at the borderline of usable for path tracing and heavy rt) but unless $430 is the absolute max you can spend it makes more sense to find another $120 for a significantly better card.
There is the 9060xt for $350 which depending on the game is either a 5060 or 5060ti competitor, but I'd be worried about longevity, plus downgrading to fsr would probably feel bad.

you can also make hdr nuclear level bright on this monitor with active tone mapping + contrast enhancer but you are gonna blow out details

>playing cs2 with fast panel at 240hz
same as before, 0 smear because oled but even 240hz is not clear enough for motion, you could easily want double more
going back to if you have a smeary lcd if you have one that is slow will be pretty bad

>I'd like to hear how people rationalize some of the shit nowadays.
Marketing is very effective.
The market now is a $500 CPU is the bestselling CPU by far, like a huge amount and if you buy anything else that's stupid. People don't want competition. They just want to buy 1 thing and hope all the youtubers say it's the best thing ever.

>>106446669
the gpu is the bottleneck in 90% of gaming scenarios

>>106446669
Your CPU is way overpowered for the card you've picked. Okay if you play mostly CPU limited games like strategy/sims but could be better allocated for more graphically-intensive games.

>>106446676
i have a 5700xt but it's on it's last legs and has been crashing fairly often. honestly i could probably just get a new smaller upgrade gpu and be fine but it would also bottleneck my 3700x regardless

>>106446696
honestly i don't even really play games that often, i mainly just play league and other esport titles like valorant/rivals etc. Nothing super graphics intensive.

>>106445327

>>106446720
You do want a strong CPU for those games, at least if you're good enough to justify it, but you also need a strong card to drive the FPS into "competitive" territory. Seeing as you don't play often you're probably not going to gain an edge from high FPS so feel free to cut it back if you need the money elsewhere. It's AM5 so you can always upgrade later.

>>106445410
all they are doing is swapping 2gb modules for 3gb ones

what was said here also in this video from that boomer >>106434514

>this is all because of the triangle sub pixels despite 140ppi?
yes

>and its problematic where, only when reading text or elsewhere too?
everywhere on text, any object, it will look like you can't focus, except you are focusing but it's because it's fringing on top and bottom around objects, very strange

and if you look at a full red/green/blue test pattern, especially on a glossy screen, it's like you will get reflections of all color spectrums because the pixels are staggered (this is kinda schizo but kinda like this)

it's like the whole pentile matrix on phones again, it looked like ass when it was low ppi

it's just not as sharp as ips, idk how much more ppi you need to compensate you need more

Should i update my RX6600? bought in 23, its been ok but i been feeling the limits recently i been thinking of selling it and buying a 7000 series card to upgrade or should i stay in the 6000 series or jump straight into 9000?

>>106446819
Some parts don't do better being cold. If you could just stick your cpu and gpu in the fridge that would be a neat trick though.

>>106446864
I suppose the lg tandem oled monitors are going to be popular for people with that severe issues from the fringing

any mexibros that know about monitors here? I cant find any of the suggestions in the OP nor the ones in monitor hunter
most monitors sold here are outdated or chink trash or severely overpriced
I want a monitor for gaming and design work, im ok with 160hz refresh, just the colors need to be accurate enough. I dont like oled, simply dont.
Alternatively, is it ok to buy a monitor from ebay? the gigabyte m27ua is being sold at msrp and the shipping+taxes isnt that bad, its from a seller in Europe, seems reputable enough but idk if the screen would survive the trip

>>106446769
>It's AM5 so you can always upgrade later.
nice point. right now i have the 3700x so any am5 chip is a big enough upgrade. are they going to continue making am5 cpus or is am6 soon approaching?

>>106446819
If you have AC your PC is already in a "fridge". Dropping the ambient temperature from 21C to 5C won't change much.

>>106446819
>>106446897
Using a custom chiller loop would be more efficient. With the fridge your electricity costs would likely go up as it would be constantly trying to cool a several hundred watt heat source. Basically like leaving the door open.
>>106446887
>or jump straight into 9000
Probably that one as long as you can get a 16GB card.

>>106446970
That's stupid fridges dry things out. A computer isn't going to condensate.

>>106446956
They've said (at least) one more gen. Going 7600 -> 11800X3D would be a pretty good upgrade when the time comes.

>>106446887
>7000 series card to upgrade or should i stay in the 6000 series or jump straight into 9000?
You want fsr4+ or dlss support.

>>106446956
>are they going to continue making am5 cpus or is am6 soon approaching?
Rumors are Zen 6 will still be on AM5.

>>106446942
woleds still have fringing but it's a more normal subpixel not the pixel matrix like qdoled
I underplayed the significance.. problem is you can't almost see it, you know something is wrong but you can't pinpoint it
but you are seeing fringing but it's more like you feel like you can't focus since it does not look normal
I'm 99% positive it's just the fringing that is fucking everything up
qdoled can't render pure text, it looks like it's full of color when it's supposed to be white
yep, it's over

Are AMD GPUs finally okay? Or will it be no drivers and slow support for new AAA releases?

>>106447071
does disabling cleartype impact fringing on text

Are NVIDIAGPUs finally okay? Or will it be non working drivers on Windows 11 & Linux and slow support for anything non AI?

>>106447100
AMD gpus other than maybe the 9060xt aren't worth buying.

>>106446980
>>106447035
ok last question, with the build mentioned in >>106446525 (except with a 7600 instead of 7800x3d) pcpartpicker has an estimated wattage of 344w. With that type of estimation (and eventually an upgrade to an 11800x3d whenever that happens) what wattage psu should i be looking for?

>>106447183
The 9070 would be the best value this generation at its $600 MSRP. Not so much at $700.

>>106447298
the cpus are pretty irrelevant for watt use
an 850w psu should be fine unless you go and buy 6090 type gpu later

this step backwards will be celebrated as progress

>>106447298
Your choice is more constrained by market forces than the technical requirements. A good quality 550W would be fine but nobody really makes good units that low any more. They tend to start at 750 so that's the spec to target. 850W if you want headroom for a high-end (but not halo) card upgrade later.

>>106447338
they probably looked at stats from past games and realized less than 1% of the playerbase turns on RT lmao

>>106447338
Sir. This is /pcbg/.
But they're clearly trying to reduce system requirements to get as many players as possible. So no, it won't be celebrated as progress. It's business as usual.

Jumping from one 5080 to another is a bit silly, the gamer move would be to stick with what you have and try to secure a new one next release cycle. If you secure it early enough, sell your previous card for profit.

I have most of my old gaming PC just sitting in my closet, and want to do something with it. I just need some storage and a case+fans. I found this thing, the Darkrock Classico Max, and I guess I could make it like a gaming pc/nas hybrid. Maybe run Windows as the host (so I can run games with anticheat) and something like TrueNAS in a VM. Would this be retarded? I just want to throw it in my living room. It's a 13700KF and RTX 3080, I want to use Jellyfin too. I know I don't have the iGPU but I think NVENC should be ok and not hurt the gaming performance too much.

>>106447540
framegen doesn't take any real effort to add
for RT support you need to design your development pipeline around it

>>106447338
Even with a 5090, RT in most games will cause the framerates to dip below 100 FPS at 1440p (anything less than 150 FPS is already completely unplayable dogshit)

>>106447495
nigga that's not old and overkill for what you want it for

>anything less than 150 FPS is already completely unplayable dogshit
esports niggers are as bad as poorfags, your opinion is dogshit.
I bet now that framegen is a thing games in the near future will target 30fps on even high end cards :)
They know people with a controller won't notice/care :)

Why is AMD only Thunderbolt/USB4 "compatible"? Why not full support? Licensing?

>>106447748
To get full thunderbolt cert it has to be able to drive two displays through a single cable via splitter. its a niche use case and you would just use a dgpu which all the ports you need anyways

the point is yeah massive rad, also, you can put it in another room. It has two pumps so you have some redundancy, but you should also setup an automatic shutoff based on water temp. For example on my system now it will shut the PC off if the water temp goes over 45 degrees.

MO-RA 600 is overkill, but as you know the 5090 is a little space heater when doing AI stuff. My internal rads can keep it cool but I don't need the extra heat in my office and I can still hear the fans, with this setup, you'll get nothing but no talkie.

Also you can do fun SFFP builds like pic rel

>>106449432
Yea the heat is quite amazing. 200mm fans are very quite. I'm quite happy I switched to them.

>>106449469
post your setup if you have a pic. What case are you fitting all those rads in? One or two pumps?

One pump and a slightly modified HAF 700 EVO. I got rid of the dumb looking front screen ans drilled some mounting holes for the 200x400mm top radiator, 420x40mm on the bottom. I'm using soft tubing right now for the GPU until I know everything is working correct. colors look all fucked up in pic but here it is.

Nice. Also nice GPU support :)

I changed my setup so many times I'm not sure I even want to go hard tubing on the SFFPC. 10/16 is the way to go on hard tubing correct?

>>106449676
Yea that's what I use. Slowly my PC is evolving to a more function over form use. I went full polish originally, but now have backed off a bunch. The 200x400mm radiator and fans are a bit ugly but the performance to noise is worth it, and I care far less about cable management. I may even dump the hard lines eventually. They are a pain in the ass.

Intel CPUs can get a bit faster memory kit, consider 6400MT/s CL32 if the price difference isn't too much.
You can even get 6800MT/s CL34, but the premium may not be worth it if you're not manually tuning it.

well that sucks, mb it was fixed with bios updates, or alteast reduced the risk of it. I'll probably still gamble with asrock bc the only alternative in my price range is the gigabyte mobo with 1(one) fucking m2 slot

Fuck my retard life, the MOBO I got only has USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, and NO Gen2. The ASRock B650M-H/M.2+.
How fucked am I if I want to use external SSDs for storage and gaming? If it's only a 5Gbit (real world 420mb/s) connection.
I tried Oblivion Remastered from my old SSD in an external usb-c casing, and it seemed to load fast and perform well, but would it perfect even better and load even faster off of my main drive?

>>106447143
I don't think so no plus it does not affect objects would it

>How fucked am I if I want to use external SSDs for storage
Big transfers will take longer. But how often are you actually doing that and not just reading some low bitrate data stream like a video off of it?
>and gaming?
You would be hard pressed to notice a difference for gaming. But I don't know why you aren't using an internal drive for that.

>why you aren't using an internal drive for that.
I got my PC assembled for me on a custom order, and my warranty only holds if I keep the antitamper stickers on for 24 months. After these 24m I can open it and do whatever, and still get my remaining 12-36 months for some of the parts like memory and GPU.
Anyways I'm reusing my old Samsung 980 from my old PC as an external. Basically I want to treat it as yet another drive for my PC.

I feel it might be more just that most of those who don't need absolute peak performance don't really need a new CPU in general, so the rest are bought by those who didn't already have a decent one.

Would I feel any improvement moving from a 7600X to a 7800X3D in gaming?

Crucial MX500 if you need a SATA SSD

>>106451007
Eh, that's too expensive right now. I guess it's not just higher frame rates, but more consistent frame times too, right? I only have a 7800 XT, but I often see the GPU usage drop to 90-85% in Warzone for example, I guess X3D could help in these situations.

the best way to get that is through memory OCing, which you can also do on your 7600x

Why does the CPU matter if 99% of the time you're being GPU bottlenecked and the CPU isn't anywhere near 100% utilisation?
I'm thinking these X3D things are only worth it if you're pushing 500 FPS in CS or something.

>>106451053
I'm running 6000MHz modules in dual channel, didn't touch the timings though, XMP enabled.

>>106451054
It's not just the utilization, but the speed of cores that matter. A game most probably won't 100% a modern CPU, but if the cores running faster, you get better performance. GPU might running on 100%, but it won't show you the dips and stuff.

>>106451060
the gains are mostly from tightening primary, secondary and tertiary timings and a bit more performance can be gained from OCing the fclk

>>106451077
Is it difficult? Never done it before. Also fclk you too!

>>106451075
Is my 9600 good enough for midrange gaming? Paired with an RTX 5070. Anything X3D is way too expensive and I didn't see the point, when I would have to downgrade my GPU instead to stay within my 1500€ budget.

>>106451087

>>106450852
>I hate san- I hate silicon!

>>106451103
C36 usually means Samsung which, while better than Micron, doesn't like to tighten much. You could push it to 6200 to boost the fclk but don't expect big gains on the timings. Lots of XMPs have pretty crappy secondaries so there may be some low-hanging fruit there if you care to do the work.
