Not for me, 165~180Hz is fine for most gamers. I don't think it's worth buying +240Hz LCD monitors unless you're at least at a semi-pro level in competitive titles.

You missed out on the $150 14600K sales (+BF6 code).

Thanks. Is there any real difference between AMD and Intel chips these days? Last time I was actually informed on CPUs, intel handled certain stuff better.
>>
>>106558081
>DDR4
Maybe a used lga 1700 board and 12600kf or 13400/14400. That would be like $200 max
For whatever reason ddr5 z690 boards second hand are cheaper now though
Don't think there's any particularly good deals at this very moment. Could wait a bit for another 14600k sale
>>
>>106558168
Intel CPUs have Quick Sync for video encoding, and cheaper multicore performance if your workloads benefit from it.
AMD is pretty much better at everything else.
>>
>>106558168
I think AMD's X3D shit is better if you want incredibly high FPS in CPU-bound games.
For casual, single player, story gaming at 1440p or even 4K, at 60-144 FPS (possibly with framegen)? Basically anything modern enough for DDR5 and i5/R5 tier will suffice at this point.

Do they have any decent CPUs for gaming shit that arent dumb expensive anymore? More than that, that arent buggy as shit?
>>
>>106558190
As someone trying to part pick and is new to this shit, 9600X seems to be given the overall top market value despite the X3D and 9700X being a step above it "technically" since you're so GPU bound at something like 1440p on modern games that it really is fighting for digits of performance, apparently?

I feel like my 1440p 27 inch monitor is way too fucking big to be useful for productivity. Sure, watching shit is great and very immersive, but 4chan at 100% zoom is impossible to read and I'm sitting very close to my monitor (shallow desk).
Unironically hunching over a 16-17 inch laptop is peak productivity because you can actually see the full screen at once AND it's big enough for 1080p and normal-sized icons.

4K gaming at more than 165 FPS is not particularly viable in AAA games anyways, unless you've got a 5090 and use DLSS.

I've only had it for two weeks, but of the games I've tried:
>Oblivion Remastered - 120-140 FPS on mixed high/ultra with DLSS and Framegen, HW Lumen High
>Tiny Tina's Wonderlands - all maxed out 1440p locked 144 FPS (capped because it was fluctuating too much)
>MGS Delta (first few "rooms") - high settings ultra textures, DLSS Balanced, locked 60 FPS with GPU headroom
I've been busy going to WORK (classic am I right, can finally afford an up-to-date PC yet don't have the time to use it) so I've mostly been using it for genning AI slop and doing dailies in my gacha games, but AAA does seem to work well at 1440p actually.

I am using a 15.6 laptop too and cmon 27 is not large, at 1440p its even less so
I use like 125% text zoom on 140ppi, which is a bit smaller size than 105ppi 1440p
that just means you have trouble reading text and dont use the space enough? idk
I feel like icons are too large and text too small at 100% 1080p 15.6"

using a 4k 32" now a 65" is like four of them in size but in 1080p segments, kinda cooked when you think about it
and it's not sharp enough at 32", I might be cooked, idk, might be hard to take the tv pill after seeing higher ppi or not

65" makes 55" look reasonable

I also upgraded from a 1660 Super (PC now happily retired to my lil bro's bedroom), and yeah it does seem quieter. I think my 1660S was an... Asus? The whole system was TUF-flavored, maybe. My 5070 is the cheapest one - the Inno3D SFF-ready dual fan. Unlike the 1660S it actually has a 0 RPM mode when I'm just web browsing/chatting and not playing video (RTX video super resolution forces it to 1400RPM) or playing games.

buy a S90D on steep sales, the prior best gaymen TV for triple A gaymen
I cannot confirm if Gigabyte has 16 hour forced refreshes for pixel refreshes, which WILL bug you and annoy you since the implementation is most likely buggy which will exacerbate the problem even more
there is zero reason to get 165 over 240 since they both use dsc too really

also as I have mentioned time and time again, oled fringing might be a thing which will be increased on glossy oled which will show in ways of feeling frying your eyes out and inability to focus due to the pixel matrix, if you encounter these issues you know why
you might be able to get used to them or not, depending on

other benefits of TVmaxxing is you will get ridiculously better HDR for triple A gaymes, more settings, samsung motion interpolation 60->120 30->120 (mogs nvidia from a potato tv chip), even better color gamut and brightness, tv meme features, more resale value most likely, reusable later in houses as a tv not a monitor

the 9070 is not bad (even the 5070 12gb would also be a nice boost), but the 9060 XT is basically the same perf tier at the 3060 and newer gens have not been making massive gains on the low end.

Well the whole point of the blackwell meme architecture is to be able to run the so called "neural rendering". These GPUs are supposed to become stronger when these new rendering techniques get implemented (when who knows, will it be on all games? will it be part of unreal engine? a new version of DLSS? DLAA? fuck do i know)

DX12 just got cooperative vectors for neural shaders on their 6.9 update on june

Do I stall for now and just bring the Ti to a new build that's upgrading the CPU from an ancient i7? A new GPU would be futureproofing, but the actually worthwhile shit is all inflated like hell.

>>106560793
ue5 games you fucking cretin
>>
>>106560930
Depends on if a game is made or broken by needing DLSS in the first place for 1440p performance. I may have a 240hz monitor but I know trying to push too hard is simply too much for some games so I try to hold a 60hz standard if it's stable. RT is entirely dependent on "is this game perfectly playable and designed without it, or is it fucked if it's theoretically disabled". So Doom Dark Ages or Indiana Jones are kind of a no-go as far as I know.

already so many complaints about borderlands 4 performance

they just need to turn on frame generation that's what 50 series and ue5 is about or go lossless failing that might work too

>Besides showcasing the visual improvements the new technology brings, id Software revealed how RTGI has streamlined game development, significantly reducing minimum and maximum pre-computation times per level, as well as lowering disk requirements, network storage, and turnaround time compared to older technology.

>>106560981
the thing about framegen is that it doesn't change, or depending on if you're using an RX or RTX 40-series and below card, even lowers the playable frames that you "feel" in input beneath the veneer of framegen. so you could turn 60 frames into 120 with 2x, but in bad conditions where your computer is already being strained, that could feel like 40-50 frames, which also results in lurches and instability for the generated frames.
if your base game plays like absolute fucking ass and even the 5090 puts out like 60 FPS at bottom outs and a general 80 FPS otherwise for the broad game (past the tutorial area/first boss) on DLSS Quality at 1440p, frame gen isn't gonna make 60 feel like 120. it's mainly that the 50-series can take that performance drop away from the input frames to avoid things worsening, and apparently AMD performs better on Borderlands 4 anyway.

processing is its own boatload of demands separate of graphics, and is very, VERY easy to fuck up in its own way. every computation that has to be done for AI, for pathing, for what might drop items, for the code checks to start an animation, anywhere can get bottlenecked by bad programming, especially open world or large scale scenarios. dragon's dogma 2 shit itself bad because it kept many NPCs all active simultaneously and calculating the physics they have upon the world for the immersive element without caring to realize it isn't necessary 100% of the time, and helldivers 2's mega city maps shit the bed from tons of particles, lots of enemies, civvies running around in the active defense operations as well as SEAF troops later on, and all that shit adds up to many little throttles on the CPU all going simultaneously.

There may be a BIOS setting to tell it to stop doing memory training every boot, iirc. I think that may be causing the longer boot up, at least I remembered something like that.

5800X3D is significantly 'weaker" in many regards and is pretty damn close in this one vid, and the trend is the same generally on other games and general benchmarks but I cant be bothered to find a vid. Tl:dr CPU has more impact at 1080p but in general it effects the 1% lows the most

>>106563080
CPUs, including Intel, have used granular temperature-sensitive boost algorithms for the better part of a decade now. Feel free to buy an aftermarket cooler, if nothing else it'll be quieter, but don't expect it to run at 70C max like an old 22nm design because the chip will see that it has more thermal headroom and adjust clocks accordingly. You can, of course, modify this behaviour by setting a lower power limit with PBO.

>>106563095
R7-8700F. While idling and just farting around on the internet the temps are fine, generally around 30C. But playing modern games at high settings its jumping up to 85-90C pretty quickly, which I'm led to believe is pretty normal for Ryzens?

Is a 5700x paired with a 5070 likely to last a good few years at 1440p if I'm fine with DLSS quality or turning settings down to medium/low? I'm probably not going to play too many unoptimized unrealslop games but it'd be nice to feel like I could.

I'm trying to ride out the rest of AM4's viable lifespan by upgrading my GPU and need to figure out where I'll be bottlenecked.

>>106564209
It depends on your expectations, but I would say no, non-X3D AM4 chips are already starting to show their age. The low VRAM of the 5070 could also be an issue (even when it comes to just being able to run some future titles).
>>
>>106564261
Your computer turns off because the OS is trying to address the 32.01 gigabyte of RAM, your motherboard shits itself because it does not know what to do with that and computer restarts.

Does the same test fail when you have 32GB of RAM?
>>
>>106564288
It is a sign from god for you to NOT buy an Arc in Europe.

I apologize for not specifying it but the computer turns of when running memtest under 16GB RAM.

That is because glossy will always look objectively better even in light rooms because better contrast, better colors, clarity etc, because of light not being dispersed across the shit like matte
in dark rooms maybe insignificant or smaller

Check your actual temps and try a different stick.

If your cooling really is homeless-tier then the PC could be turning off when CPU overheats as a safety measure.

Run a Prime95 benchmark and see if PC also dies.

prime95 didn't overheat the CPU (at least not to shutdown levels).
64GB RAM memtest didn't turn off the PC.
I can only think that something was wrong with the sticks which added up to 16GB. Everything works fine for now. I will run a full memtest later

Ok thanks, I might see if I can hold out for the 5070 super for the extra vram. Since I already have a 5700x it doesn't really make sense to upgrade it to an x3d so I might just have to get a new GPU and pray the games I want to play aren't CPU heavy.

>Poland pricing dropped
9070XT - from 3000 PLN (825 USD)to 2830 PLN (780 USD)
9070 - from 2630 PLN (723 USD) to 2300 PLN (630 USD)

9070 looks really promising. Also that relative low wattage. Any other power efficient GPUs like this?
>>
>>106564209
DLSS 4 transformer model at quality or balanced actually looks really good it's a no-brainer to turn it on. Setting Textures to medium instead of high or ultra can also help with VRAM. Ive had a 5070 for a few weeks myself and it's been great for 1440p, albeit I have a 9600.
>>
It's very easy to lower vram, don't prevent yourself from a good deal because of vram concerns. As long as you have over 8gb at 1440p or above you'll be fine. I have a 10gb card and at native 1440p I have no vram issues in any game, obviously I'll read about optimized settings beforehand so I know what to expect, but in the worst case scenarios all I've had to do is drop textures from the highest to one setting lower which is usually from ultra to high. I have a 10gb card so a 12gb card will be fine. I even use it to play at 4k* (with dlss*) and have no issues.
>>
>>106564951
>optimized settings
The issue is most niggas refuse to read a Reddit post or watch a Digital Foundry video and copy the optized settings. They want to put everything at ultra and get 144 FPS on a 5060.
Back in the day this simple trick doubled my RDR2 FPS without any noticeable visual sacrifices.
>>
>>106564977
Being retarded in this case might actually help because games do auto settings anyway most of the time nowadays which will take into account vram and other things. So if someone doesn't touch the settings at all it will probably work just fine for them. As an alternative you can get the nvidia app to automatically do settings for you in games and it even has a performance/quality slider which will automatically adjust settings based on where you set the slider, but you can just leave it as default and have a good experience based on the default settings nvidia sets for your hardware configuration.

>nearly half power stages missing
Because it's not powering a 4090 or a 5090?
Those VRMs can already deliver over 600A of current; the average power draw of that card is less than 350W @ sub 1.05V (less than 330A needed, 25A per 50A power stage).
The vBIOS' voltage limit is the performance bottleneck, not the "missing" power stages.

That guy is exaggerating the vram issue pretty fucking hard. Super cards are still a rumor, and the rumors on the rumor is that they were pushed back into 2026 at least.
12gb isn't an issue now, even at 4k the list of games you would have to worry about it with on max settings are very short, maybe 4/5 years from you have to worry about setting textures to high or medium over max or something like that in SOME games. You've probably got a decade before "issues starting games" becomes a problem, every game is still playable on 6gb today and the ps6 is probably going to try and stay cheap so...


He's totally right about anything am4 that isn't x3d though

Are Ryzen CPUs only supposed to boost to their advertised box clock? I remember reading that they auto overclock as much as possible until they hit 95C then downclock to a stable 90C and stay there.
Mine only goes up to the advertised speed at 80C and doesn't move.
>>
>>106566000
they will boost until they hit one of the limits like clockspeed limit, power limit, current limit or thermal limit
in your case it maxes out and doesnt go further because of the clockspeed limit
