only in Brazil would you think of this

Is it just me or do a lot of PC parts tend to have issues ? It's not just Nvidia, AMD and Intel have them too. Sometimes it's CPUs, sometimes it's motherboards, sometimes it's GPUs or SSDs. It feels cyclical and like nary a generation of any product really releases and doesn't have some kind of issue.

>>106482121
its just you

>>106482121
yes. the last time a highend gpu didnt have any issues was the 3090ti, and that was only because it was basically a second revision 3090 that fixed all the flaws of the original like overheating vram, failing vrms and high temps/noise
tl;dr always avoid the 1st revisions of any products to avoid design flaws

But yeah out of literally every hobby I've been in. The PC market is the absolute greediest.
There is also something about the PC market where it seems to have the biggest group that gets hung up on minor performance differences.

Any other hobby I've seen debates literally spanning a decade about what's the best only for the very vast majority of people to buy from whoever is giving the best value at the time.
God I wish PCs where still like that.

>>106482440
>I dont understand what "24Gbit GDDR7 " is exactly
The GDDR7 chips with 2GB capacities are 16Gb models released in 2023, 24Gb GDDR7 chips with 3GB capacity are a different product.

>5090 launched with 32gb gddr7 using 16x 2gb modules
>then they have the pro AI chips using 3gb modules
The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell cards were launched later in March '25.
NVIDIA was prioritizing limited 24Gbit GDDR7 supplies to workstation & high-end laptop models.

>>106482487
>16gb models
is it not limited by how many 2gb modules you stuff in? Like 5070 has 6, 5070 ti has 8
what if you put in 10 to make a 20gb chip? Does it stop working? but 32gb doesnt because its 2 times 16 somehow? Whats the 16gb module?

>>106482230
Wtf would the performance uplift be coming from? Is he just making things up again?

overclocking the core (upto +15%) and shipping with faster vram (upto +5%)

Treat that VRAM like its gold and product time limitation.

>>106482318
Of course they have, 5090 is an AI card that is selling like hotcakes, especially to China, and it's included in that revenue. Also a lot of people just can't be arsed waiting anymore for an upgrade.

>>106482553

>>106482514
The number & type of GDDR chip you can pair to a GPU depends on the GPU's total memory bus & the PCB design.
The GPU's memory bus width determines how many memory lanes (& physical chips) can be set.
A GDDR memory chip has a standardized 32-bit memory interface width.

So a 5090 with a 512-bit total memory bus can be specced with 16 GDDR7 chips (16 x 2GB = 32GB model).
For the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell, NVIDIA is using clamshelled 24Gb (3GB) GDDR7 chips = (16 x 3GB x 2 sets = 96GB)

For your 5070 example, this GPU has a 192-bit total memory bus, so it's expected to use six GDDR7 chips (2GB or 3GB variant).
That's why the 5070 has a total of 12GB VRAM, and the 5070 Super is rumored to have 18GB.
Increasing memory capacity by clam shelling is out of the question for the 5070.

Asked a while back about a deal for a 5060 ti. Got it but I wanted to make sure about the PSU since the MSI variant needs a 12 pin connector instead of 8. I have a Straight Power 11 850w power supply, is the adapter that comes with the card enough and or should I upgrade the PSU as well?

There's a decent amount of overclocking headroom left in those chips, which would explain at least 5~8% of the attainable performance.
The 5070 Super is rumored to be getting a slight GPU upgrade.

>>106482646
>The number & type of GDDR chip you can pair to a GPU depends on the GPU's total memory bus & the PCB design.
okay so design it to allow 20gb using 10x 2gb? No?
>The GPU's memory bus width determines how many memory lanes (& physical chips) can be set.
same as before
>A GDDR memory chip has a standardized 32-bit memory interface width.
hmm

neat

>For your 5070 example, this GPU has a 192-bit total memory bus, so it's expected to use six GDDR7 chips (2GB or 3GB variant).
they can design it differently then?
>5070 Super is rumored to have 18GB.
a bit late now that millions of people have a shitty 12gb gpu
>Increasing memory capacity by clam shelling is out of the question for the 5070.
so they designed it wrong and now they're stuck selling wrong gpus

>>106482666
The adapter bundled with the card is fine; the 5060 TI doesn't draw enough power to be a danger to most people.
Server cards with those power connectors consume more power than a 5060 Ti.
Read the recommended bend clearance on this page, it applies to adapters too.
But Seasonic is sharing conservative guidance.

its only 10% uplift from oc. this has been common for gpus for a long time. it wont change anything unless your gpu is already hitting below 60fps as a base because that means framegen is dipping below 120.

>okay so design it to allow 20gb using 10x 2gb? No?
The GPU chip needs a 320-bit memory bus for that 10x 2GB configuration.
Even the 5080 doesn't have that much bus width.
The memory bus is a physical interface in the GPU.

The goal of every GPU designer is to sell the smallest possible chip, you cut down on memory bus width to achieve that.
AMD has similar plans with their next set of GPUs according to >>106475685

The 5070 is the most popular RTX 50 series card according to the latest Steam Hardware Survey.
It's fine for normie gamers, even for most people in /pcbg/.
The settings that usually push the 5070's 12GB VRAM over the edge are too demanding for the 5070 to performantly render.

Watch NVIDIA market the expanded memory capacity for local AI projects.
They have been pivoting GeForce to be relevant to non-gamers.

AMD was prioritizing a GPU design that minimized the size of the 5nm Graphics Compute Die while trying to compete against the 4090 & 4080.
Smaller 5nm chips needed for Radeon cards means more TSMC 5nm wafers are available for Epyc & Ryzen CPU chiplets.
AMD gave more VRAM than the 4080 because that's how they compensate against GeForce cards (RX 480 & 580 8GB vs 1060 6GB etc.)

Except the 7900 XTX has more transistors than the 4080/Super & 5080, and the 7900 XTX is slower than all three of those cards according to that "fastest gpus" post.
In fact, the 7900 XTX's GCD itself has almost as many transistors as the entire 4080 or 5080 GPU.
Inefficient.

It's something that people need to realize.
No one selling you components guarantees you a working PC ultimately.
Companies will do whatever to get away with selling things that may not actually work correctly with other parts because as far as their concerned their liability ends on the specific component.
Mobo vendors for example doing whatever with CPU, power limits, voltages, etc. As long as what they are doing isn't damaging their motherboard, they couldn't give two shits about how the CPU or RAM is doing, it's not their problem.

You also see this with RAM, you'll find kits that are rated at a much higher speed than what any OEM is willing to offer and it's on the basis that the DIMM vendor isn't responsible for the stability of your PC. Their liability purely ends at the RAM itself and it's up to you to determine if their RAM is going to be an issue.

>You're exaggerating, how many cases in the wild are there of burnt cables this gen now? I bet you can still count them on one hand.
I was thinking long term like >3 years on. We're already seeing a lot of reports of burnt connectors on 4090s that were working fine the last 3 years and were only found out because their owners taking out their cards. With regards to connector's safety margin, the 5090 is much worse than the 4090 as the latter only really used 410W at worst and averaged in the mid/high 300s in power draw while the 5090 is often running at 550 if not maxed out at 600w while gaming in high loads.

And not bait, Im retarded. Thanks for saving me from doing something stupid.

no idea, its a great board. it just doesnt look that nice compared to fancier ones on the market

Are you competent enough to install the CPU cooler & video card?
If you get someone else to build the PC, you need to safely transport the completed build.
Make sure the PC is securely packed so that the video card won't sag/break while transporting it.
If you get an AIO, the weight of the CPU cooler is less of a risk.

>>106483236
are you super sure? what did you try?

>>106483236
Try openrgb
But if it's a newish model or one of the less popular ones, it won't be supported

>>106483478
running the gigabyte software through wine led nowhere, then I tried openrgb and it doesnt recognize it. Also shutting down rgb in the MB does nothing

>>106483505
yeah its a 9060xt, guess im just stuck waiting for an update

>>106483454

Id probably have someone else do it, but ill take my time and research a bit more. And Ill keep those things in mind.
For right now I just wanted to know if the Starforge is a good deal even though its 1000$ off and the answer seems to be no.

>>106483511
try opening an issue on their gitlab then. all you need to provide is the pcie id and someone will add it to the whitelist.
since its a gigabyte and not a lesser brand like pny or kfa2, the rgb logic is already implemented and the device just needs to be whitelisted

It's a fine board for a $1500-$2000 build. Great mid-range. A $5000 build with a 5090 should be on an X870E board for that. Gen 4 SSDs when Gen 5 is available in that build too, the RAM...basically they put a 5090+9950X3D in that build, then nickel and dimed you on every other part in it.

my god how will you last with that torture

How do I go about attempting to setup a new monitor (AOC Q27G4ZR) without a colorimeter? I don't do graphic design or video editing but can appreciate somewhat accurate colours. The monitor is kinda new and not got a lot of reviews (normally one of the good monitor sites has a "recommended settings" bit in a review). As for the monitor itself, it's a nice budget 1440p 240hz ips screen, you get what you pay for (£170). It's a massive upgrade over my old XG2402 so I'm happy, even if it's not "amazing" when compared to slightly more expensive offerings.

just use your eyes, pick the game that looks the best to you, that has the nicest, and most robust color schemes (Mordhau for me), and pause it in-game and simply adjust the colours until it looks good to you.

Problem solved, you're wildly overthinking it.

After all this coping, research, meticulous autism, we all went full circle and went back into IPS being the gold standard, default choice

>WOLED
chrominance overshoot or diagonal dithering + fringing still due to non traditional matrix

insane fringing, something will always be wrong, no ease for eyes focusing due to diamond pixel substructure

You were at my side all along.... my guiding moonlight

CRT/Plasmafags need not apply

>>106484404
In 2020 onward there was fast VA panels like g7 available and that was the best image quality for gaming and IPS became entirely redundant.

Now the qd oled monitors were much better image quality, hdr + high color volume and richfags bought those immediately.

Because the oleds entered the market and become cheap really fast it didnt allow va minileds time to shine. People tried to sell those for >1k € which made zero sense.

TN remains viable for cs2 players thanks to strobing I guess. IPS is deader than a dead dead guy.

My friend gave me his aurora r10 but the cooling sucks. So I'm thinking of taking out the gpu (rtx 3070), cpu (ryzen 9 5900), ram and drives and making my first pc build. What psu, motherboard, and cpu cooler, and fans should I get?

Slow + Bent + VA gamma shift view angles + 32" + coatings + Delaminating panels due to Samsung + samsung QC + overpriced

>Now the qd oled monitors were much better image quality, hdr + high color volume and richfags bought those immediately.
I bought two so far, Fringing was concluded being the eye strain problem + if you bought a bad firmware once you get additional aids
Now you have to wait for 220ppi+ to cope, maybe then they will be good

>Because the oleds entered the market and become cheap really fast it didnt allow va minileds time to shine. People tried to sell those for >1k € which made zero sense.
VA remains a highly suspicious buy, they can't match budget IPS, I would never

>TN remains viable for cs2 players thanks to strobing I guess.
strobing also kills eyes, allegedly

>IPS is deader than a dead dead guy.
budget? IPS
mid tier office/Gaymen? IPS
mid tier office/Gaymen+? 4k IPS

to be concluded: Does WOLED fuck up eyes? Now that I've concluded that everything is shit next on my potential tries before I throw in the towel are: LG C4 42", 4k 32" 240/480hz WOLED, 4k 27" QDOLED

I am getting fatigued, I don't wanna try more shit and return it, might aswell pass up on the 27" qd considering it already has fringing, wonder if WOLED isn't cucked, but the TV will have dithering which already looks like ASS, the 32" WOLED will still have worse rendering than a normie RGB IPS and the price is kinda still high too even with codes

>>106484622

that is the 43" VA thingy
and yeah the ghosting is bad

>>106484570
A 9070xt is $150-$200 more expensive in the United States. Was more like $300+ when I bought this, but even if I was buying now I would probably still do a 5070 over anything else.
And almost every single game I play is Nvidia favored (plus I really really like Nvidia pt tech demos) or old/light enough that 10%-25% extra performance means dick because I'm already at 8k internal 100-zillion-fps.

you fucking retarded commies are as obnoxious as you are economically ignorant. While jews and globalists have made a farce out of IP+trademark laws, they are necessary to stimulate economic growth, when it protects the R&D of inventors/corporations that is.

>Economic growth
That's called malinvestment and it's advocacy is the reasoning that makes sure there's a massive fuckoff economic crash every decade desu.
>R&D
The reason normal people R&D is to make a better product to sell, not become modern disney, you don't need IP to invent anything, infact it is that someone can go to an authority and claim your invention as their monopoly in fraud defended by an army of lawyers that would be a threat against R&D.
Abolishing IP declaws these legal monopolists from staking a claim to your thoughts
AMD would be sued to oblivion and we would likely be using dual cores right now if the "economic stimulators" didn't break their rules regarding Intel in the 70s

Bros Im an idiot. Today my new build was stuck while booting with orange light on the "DRAM" diagnostic led for a few minutes. Idiot like I'm I switched off the psu and when I switched on the PC resumed the POST process without me pressing the power button which is odd. Found out it could be my dram training on AM5 that could take several minutes sometimes. PC seems to work fine now but I'm worried I've fucked up something?
