5060 ti is simply a little bit faster than 9060 XT in many gpu bound titles kys shill that chart is irrelevant. AMD GPU + CPU provides the most benefit in CPU bound games due to less overhead on nvidia cards and SAM helps with better frametime stability. AMD engineers have themselves said there are specific optimizations with SAM when it is both an AMD CPU and GPU.

I was like super close to buying a 9800X3D which would have required a new motherboard, new cooler, new RAM, and new SSD (current Samsung 960 EVO 500GB is at 39% health). Now it looks like my 9900k just isn't gonna die. Honestly I think I'll end up just building an entirely new build, GPU included when Intel releases their 3D cache competitor to AMD's 3D stuff.

>>106541491
You'll be spoiled for choice next year, but Zen 6 is more likely to be a good chip than Intel's Nova Lake
You should also overclock the memory to improve FPS. Intel CPUs scale well with memory OCs.

>>106541512
>You should also overclock the memory to improve FPS. Intel CPUs scale well with memory OCs.
my Memory kit is unfortunately pretty shit for overclocking, but fantastic for timing tuning. I had a first generation Ryzen back when Ryzen was extremely picky about memory kits. It's a G-skill 2x16GB kit of Samsung B-die 3200Mhz @ 14-14-14-34 timings. I was able to get it down to 3200MHz @ 12-12-12-32 with stock voltage. Will not OC past 3600MHz even if I feed it stupid voltage. I have a Patriot Viper kit of 4400MHz CL19 memory in my closet but it's only 2x8GB and games/Windows uses so much RAM these days, I don't wanna downgrade to 16GB
>Zen 6 vs Nova Lake
I'm just hoping Intel brings something with 3D on die cache that beats AMD in some way, even if it's only more cache. I know AMD has 96MB of cache but I remember reading somewhere Intel was floating ideas of 144MB cache and MMO's LOVE that cache, so I'm going to buy the best option for WoW.

>>106541538
It's likely because the 9900k just sucks at handling dual rank sticks and z390 and z370 boards prefer four slots, and not your memory sticks that are the problem. 4x8gb b-die will fly on your 9900k if you have an MSI or Asus board. Gigabyte board has problems training memory speeds faster than 3800mhz
Anyway most of the gain with memory oc can be had from tightening timings like trrd_s, trrd_l, tfaw, tRFC and tREFI

So the only thing left on my build is the gpu and the bar is that it has to be capable of running mh wilds on 60fps on 1080p looking here on my third world country the 5060ti 16gb and the 5070 have a difference of roughly 70usd so what should I choose?

>>106541628
At only a 70 USD difference, get the 5070.

I like matx. It's easy to build smaller machines, but you've usually got at least one PCIe slot available for expansion needs. It also avoids the ITX tax. ATX is great, but a lot of them are built in an odd way, where populating all the m.2 will turn off all your PCIe slots, which sorta defeats the purpose of having the slots IMO.

Right now I'm just using a basic laptop, but when I do upgrade I want the best consumer-grade components on the market for gaming and video editing. I haven't upgraded yet because I'm not completely satisfied with the 5090's performance and the power cable being a fire hazard. The most powerful gaming CPU's AMD 9800x3d and 9950x3d lack QuickSync. That's why I think it's better to just wait for the 6090's release so I can see how it compares and determine if the higher price is worth the extra performance or if it makes more sense to settle for something cheaper. I'm hoping that Intel will release another flagship CPU that beats AMD's flagship not too long before or after the 6090's so I can pick a clear winner. AMD does not have QuickSync or something equivalent as far as I know. You may wonder why I care so much about QuickSync. Because I intend to spend a lot of time learning and using DaVinci Resolve. I want that to be a smooth experience when I finally spend the time and money building a system I've been holding off for so long. One of my concerns is that I get unlucky with the "silicon lottery" where components fail/die prematurely. I'm especially concerned with the more expensive parts. Can you conservatively estimate lifespan for the various component types assuming I have optimalized cooling? Speaking of cooling I think custom watercooling should be optimal, but I'm unsure if the extra price and hassle will be worth the potential increased longevity and performance. What are your thoughts?

>>106541730

If it works you made a great decision. Usual going rate is at least $300 for cards that are deshrouded or have broken ports or something.
Still faster in most games than a 5060ti
10gb you're solid for 1080p, 1440p you can see some issues but it's only with settings you probably wouldn't use anyways.

You have to specify a budget when you talk about video editing. What kind of videos (resoution, length)?

video editing itself can scale all the way up to maxed out threadripper builds with 8TB nvme drives since video encoding is very parallel.

Set a minor undervolt to the processors, and they'll run cooler. The factory-fused V/F tables for the processors are slightly overvolted.
The overvolts help some of the worst processor bins run stably out of the box.

24Gb (3GB) GDDR7 chips weren't readily available for a 24GB 5080 launch model.
NVIDIA was prioritizing those VRAM for workstation cards until memory supplies improved.

>Is this Nvidia's new marketing tactic?
NVIDIA's refresh cards are usually a reaction against Radeon's.
9070 non-XT has better performance with 16GB, so the 5070 gets a slightly better-binned chip with 18GB total VRAM.
9070 XT competes very well against the 5070 Ti, so it gets 24GB VRAM
5080 was initially planned with 24GB variants in mind.

From my simple google search of reddit answers, quicksync only had hevc 10 bit 4:2:2 decoding accerleration. The new nvidia rtx 5000 series gpus have that feature nowdays so I don't think it is important to get intel quicksync.

If you want fast scrubbing of the timeline you need: pcie 5.0 nvme and lots of system RAM.

CPU: Intel core 285k
Ram: 128 GB ddr5
Storage: 4TB WD SN8100

Now, depending on what effects you are doing to the video you may need a dedicated gpu.

High quality footage or renders are going to be in a lossless format that has massive bitrates so storage and ram are important.

>>106542487
You mean the driver's issues that 99% of real users arent experiencing? Lmao!

>>106542489
Way I see it, it's entirely dependent on whether someone is after MAXIMUM FRAAAAMES and shit like the highest level raytracing, frame gen and upscaling shit, or if you want something that's more power efficient for wider setup scalability, still gets the job done quite well for basically anything you throw at it short of RT or games so badly optimized that they need the bestest upscaling ever. Or for people that chug 4K gaming like an energy drink and expect anything but the beefiest of the beef to keep up with no issue, and even then 9070 XT is nothing to scoff at. For the price value, MSRP or scaled up in comparison to the 5070 Ti, it's definitely down to preferences and user builds.
Plus, y'know, less fuss with NVIDIA drivers as of late which are too focused on AI with the 50-series forwards over proper performance upkeep.

>>106542489
I gotta wonder did amd just hope that the industry wouldnt care about path tracing, like gamers would flat out reject the technology, games wouldnt implement it and the future was raster only?

9950 / 9950x3d is slightly slower than the 285k in encoding and adobe benchmarks.
The real advantage would be able to move down the road to a zen 6 cpu with 24 core / 48 threads.

The zen 5 cpus are difficult to get working with 128GB of ram from what I hear. Maybe that has changed with a new agesa version? idk.

I'm also not sure if the igpu can even do basic tasks so you would want to get a dedicated gpu.

like i said though, it depends on what you are editing. If you are editing VR videos or high fps 4k videos, the lossless filesizes are going to be massive (1.4 Gb/s) and eat up ram so you want 128GB of ram.

>>106542629
>amds fsr4 came out in 2025 which is bizarre, thats a very long time to lag behind the competition
Considering the quality jump at the expense of not being as efficient for performance, something is telling me the GPU division just isn't getting quite the push they should be just to really pull the lead out. Doesn't help that FSR4 is barely supported either, forcing you to go all Optiscaler or simply get fucked by FSR3, if you're even playing something that supports that too.

>>106542759
>Doesn't help that FSR4 is barely supported either
Few game devs want to patch their old titles that have passed their peak revenue/support cycle.
But AMD added an FSR4 override option with their latest driver (with a few limitations).
I would worry if FSR4 isn't getting support for new games, but that doesn't seem to be the case..

>>106542516
9800x3d is way too slow because of low thread count
only the 7950x, 9950x or 9950x3d can compete with the 285k

Before you ask, no, those pills are not HRT. They're my heart meds for my hypertension...

remember to apply thermal paste directly to the AM socket
it needs lubrication, otherwise it's going to scratch the contacts
then go to asrock reddit and share your achievement

nta, but LMAO

>>106543434
I see
you could rearrange things so the case sits on the floor to get more desk space
you could buy a monitor arm so your 2nd monitor doesnt need laundry basket stack to hold it up

>>106543443
blud spent extra on rgb, now has to keep it on a table

>>106543443
If I hide it below I can't look at it. Which would be fine, but I'd need to rearrange things and organisation is my nemesis.
>>106543472
>laundry basket stack to hold it up
KEK it's supposed to be a plastic drawer cabinet thing. I keep lots of stuff in there. The monitor placement is ideal for discord or something random YouTube video while I do other stuff.
>>106543481
My only RGB part is the case actually, and I keep the lights off most of the time. I turned them on for this photo a few days ago.

WTF YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN A 14700K THAT WILL DIE AND A COPY OF BATTLEFIELD AHHHHHHHHHH WTF WHY BUY THINGS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>106543556
14600k mobo would have zero upgrade path so

>>106543569
nobody needs more than a 10400f

>check temperatures
>utility software bumps up the cpu usage
classic

>>106543429
so flash bios>add cpu,ram,ssd>mount aio with thermal paste>add gpu>test>wrangle the whole thing with aio into the case
doubt if pasting, cleaning and repasting would work since i only have 0,8g of it

>>106543587
noctua coolers come with thermal paste
doesnt ur aio also have some?

>>106543576
I just got rid of my 10400f and 1660S for a 9600 and 5070 actually

>>106543611
yeah, that amount came with my arctic

wait... Tctl on AMD reports higher temps than on a die, so fans use higher speeds?

>>106543538
what's wrong with it?
>>106543556
I'm a freetard, I will always give preference to amd since they are frenly.

Would this build work? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Yomia/saved/#view=rGVn8d
Budget ~1500 euros, use case 144fps gaming

>>106543731
You're not playing 1440p144 with that GPU. Get a 9070/XT or 5070.

Seems some of the tandem oled 1440p's launch in around 1 month
the reviews indicate they're best user experience and some models are affordable even

>>106543833
Affordable meaning ~?

>>106543881
like 650€ maybe for the cheapest 280hz gigabyte model

> enable expo 6000 profile
> system crashes
yes i love amd

As much as i like SAM she doesn't work that well, Incel and AyyMD just architecturally make worse cards
IP is mostly responsible for this however

>>106544399
its brand new tech that has novelty factor and the "competitive monitor right now" factor which you pay premium for
you can pay very little for a monitor it doesnt mean you should
a rule of thumb would be paying as much as you did for the gpu, if you spend 2k € on a pc but you cant budget for oled monitor you're making poor financial decisions

I'm this close to giving my brother my spare 5090 due to no takers on the 2nd hand market and he'll have to run it on his 9900ks, upgrading from a 3080
The bottleneck will be insane :^)

If only there was a thing called motherboard-memory compatibility tables.

The 5090 was 15% off, I had to do it.
They're the same size, but the asus is almost twice as heavy. Probably will have better temps in short bursts.

>>106544691
youd think that size gpus have a gpu support built in

>>106544693
They should. They usually ship one with it though. This case came with an amazing one, it should be a standard for all cases.

if i'm rebuilding in a lian li a3 and upgrading PSU because mine is almost 8 year old, should I go SFX or just a shorter ATX? getting a 50-series at some point so would like to avoid a house fire

switch it to the quiet bios before using it since the rear fan is literal garbage

Looking for a good AM5 motherboard to be used for 24/7 PC homeserver operation. I need the following features:
- At least 2 PCIe x8 or x16 gen 4 or 5 ports working at full speed to CPU.
- At least 1-2 m.2 slots for SSDs
- At least 128 GB DDR5 RAM (ECC or non-ECC)

For the RAM I don't understand the concept of dual channel. I think it's usually advised to put DIMMs in half the slots and not put an uneven number of DIMMs. But what if I want to have 192 GB RAM, I would have to put 6*32 and populate all 6 slots for example. Will I get bad performance from that ?
