>>106557688Nope. No matter how cute, nope.
Sorry radeon-kun, but Nvidia Blackwell is the way It's Meant to Be Played ™ Sorry :)
>>106557766I'd rather play BF6 than BL4, and I own a GeForce card.
5070 is a 1080p card officially confirmed?
>>106557809
>>106557766>a 9070 xt cant do 60 fps native at 1440p max settingsit does 50 fps in the easier to run areas out of combat
>>106557809>40-45 fps on combat 1440p nativesame as the 9070xt unfortunately
>>106557688all that hair going inside of the PC case, yea nah i'm good.
>>106557804>This is the value play, find 2~3 27" 1440p monitors you like and buy one when it's discounted.ty, guess i'll be on the lookout for a 27" ips then. No KTC available in my country unfortunately, is there any point going higher then 180hz on monitor for 1440p highest quality graphics? surely im not getting 200+ fps at 1440p without a 5090, its 2-400$ for 1440p 27" monitors, all from 140hz-300hz range
>>106557778 Intel got the BF6 contract so enjoy the B580
>>106557887totally worth it to buy intel cpu now
>>106557766gonna be getting a free key for this next week thanks to my based RTX 5070
>>106557955i hope my 5070ti thats suppose to be arriving next week comes with a free code aswell... the online shop started promoting "free borderlands 4" a few days after my order :(
>>106558028I emailed customer support for the store I got it from, and they told me yesterday that starting next week they'll be distributing the codes by email.
>>106557719>top iodeserved
>>106557876>is there any point going higher then 180hz on monitor for 1440p highest quality graphics?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.
Well, BL4 is the first game not actually run well on my old i7 8700. Any good CPU+Motherboard deals going on for upgrading? And RAM, if DDR4 is too old, I guess.
>>106558081any AM5 board and a Ryzen 5 7600/X, 9600/X or 7700/X>esports gayman 360Hzany AM5 socket X3D cpu
>>106558081You missed out on the $150 14600K sales (+BF6 code).This is the cheapest upgrade if you plan to carry over your DDR4 memory.https://pcpartpicker.com/list/m2FZMCCheck Microcenter & Newegg's CPU + board bundles.
gonna give my old pc to my dad after i build my new one, hes just gonna use it for websurfing.. it has one of those old 240gb ssd's that windows 10 is installed on, one m2 1tb nvme ssd and 2x 2TB sata hdd. Can i remove the 2x sata hdd's and just plug them into my new pc build? will it fuck up old pc in any way? got like 3TB in movies, tv shows and shadowplay recordings i want to keep, will they copy over to my new build? (installing win11 on it)
>>106558150>>106558112Thanks. 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 maxFor whatever reason ddr5 z690 boards second hand are cheaper now thoughDon't think there's any particularly good deals at this very moment. Could wait a bit for another 14600k sale
>>106558168Intel 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.
>>106558168I 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.
>>106558154assuming they're not encrypted sure
>>106557899>totally worth it to buy intel cpu nowDo they have any decent CPUs for gaming shit that arent dumb expensive anymore? More than that, that arent buggy as shit?
>>106558190As 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?
>all the cool cases are itx
Did they ever fix the EXPO bug that was frying 7800X3Ds?
>>1065586129600x is in fact the best value
>>106558689You're just not cool enough to get on the ride.
>>106558695no and it clearly wasn't an EXPO bug because it's still frying 9800X3Ds
>>106558580gotcha, ty. unfortunately just found out the 4000d frame case can only fit 2x 3.5hdd's and i have one 3.5 8TB hdd ordered already, feels like a waste filling the other last slot with only 2TB available. Will just wait for a black friday sale and maybe snag a 16tb or 20tb then.
Does this seem like a good bundle? https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007090/amd-ryzen-5-7600x3d,-asus-b650e-e-tuf-gaming-wifi-am5,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundleIt's kinda nice to just drive over and pick it up and not fuck with shipping...
>>106558791Yeah
>>106558791at 430 i would look at some of the 12900 combos, or for 20 more you could get one of the 9700x bundleszen4>5 uplift is quite good even compared to x3d ones (for gayming im not sure at what point higher ipc is better than fat cache, might be worth lurking around) and intlel 12gen should be last cpu anyone should getresearching about the mobos you could be gettting should be the 2nd task
>get 9070 XT for $700 from Newegg>5080 is now $999 >can't trade-in 9070 because it's too new and too late to return it5080 isn't that much better, right? Right?
>>106558954
>>106558954>He fell for the amd meme hahahahaha lolol xdImagine falling for youtuber and reddit memes.
>>106558954>9070 XT for $700but it was a $599 card
damn the mere mention of a red card just summons him
>>106558985Can you link to the website where all GPUs are in stock and at MSRP?
>>106558954Can't believe there was a time just a few months ago where 9070's were over a thousand dollars. That's more than my entire current build cost. How are the pitchforks and torches not out yet? This is not normal.

>>106557766>badassland 4you tranny faggots really care for this shit?
>>106559276It's circa +20% raw performance - noticeable but not game changing - so the main draw would be the increased buffer. Are you regularly running out of VRAM?
>>106559276No.
>>106559276Wait another gen or find another $200-$400
>>106558722i miss weird wacky pc cases. shit today feels so drab in comparison
65" TV in action, let me guess, I need less?
>>106559384I 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.
>>106559276hell no
Anyone use those cheap screw gpu support brackets? Like pic related, my prebuilt computer has the psu below where this bracket would be. I just want to know if its possible to remove the magnet inside
Cheapest 4k oled is 670€ here. Though it's gen 3 and 165 hz. I'm not really a competitive gamer, maybe a few times cs2 in some months. I wanna catch up to all the triple A games that I've missed out on. Should I do it?
>>106559419the magnet isn't going to hurt your PSU
>>1065594234K gaming at more than 165 FPS is not particularly viable in AAA games anyways, unless you've got a 5090 and use DLSS.Just go for it if you think you can handle the OLED.
>>106559423if you have a 4090 5090 or 5080 sure
>>106559454Nop, 5070 ti. I will use DLSS. 5080 is a scam and 5090 out of budget
>>106559423get the monitor that actually fits your gpu.5080/5090 are 1440p 165hz or 4k 120hz.
>>106559475sure go for it then
>>106559331Yes-ish, but probably not often enough to be an actual problem, now that I think about it>>106559340>>106559416>>106559359thanks and gimi to the other ones
5070 is also a 1440p120 card!If you use DLSS and 2x Framegen, that is...
>>106559520Mine has been perfectly fine for 1440p. I dont play AAA games though
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY:do i need to update to 3.40 on my b650 bios if im using a 7800x3d?
Do I really need a 4tb SSD?
>>106559540I'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 headroomI'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.
casual reminder>5070=4090
>>106559575Yes, but only if you want to have 4tb of data on your ssd
>>106559575not really no, but a lot of games released lately are taking 100gb+ easily in storage, dont want that on hdd. SATA hdd's are still way cheaper if u want lots of storage
>>106559520>Toggles 4x through the Nvidia app>My 5070 is now a 1440p240fps cardI don't understand why you wouldn't literally always use this feature. Fuck niggers like Gaymer Steve for underselling the featureset of Nvidia cards>>1065595855070 = 4080 super, you literally cannot prove me wrong.
>>106559580Nice, that's good to hear. Don't know about yours but mine's also way quieter than my old 1660 Super. The upgrade has been a game changer. I don't really know why the 5070 specifically generates so much asshurt, but for MSRP it's a pretty good card especially if youre coming from an ancient card
>>106559541Yes, you should.
>>106559407I am using a 15.6 laptop too and cmon 27 is not large, at 1440p its even less soI use like 125% text zoom on 140ppi, which is a bit smaller size than 105ppi 1440pthat just means you have trouble reading text and dont use the space enough? idkI 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 itand 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 not65" makes 55" look reasonable
>>106559623>way quieter than my old 1660 SuperI 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.
>>106559423buy a S90D on steep sales, the prior best gaymen TV for triple A gaymenI 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 morethere is zero reason to get 165 over 240 since they both use dsc too reallyalso 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 whyyou might be able to get used to them or not, depending onother 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
>>106559674>30->12030->60 *
>>106559454>>106559476Why no 5070ti? 5080 is barely better than it
>>106559663Okay that's a nice feature. I got founders edition so not sure if that's offered, but even without it's plenty quiet. 1660 Super was a pretty good card back in the day, but its showing its age. I put mine in a matx build in the living room for browsing and couch games. Tried to fire up MGSV, Hitman, a few others and it really struggles on a 4k TV, obviously kek
>>106559444The hard drive cage where I keep 2 3.5 spinners is also 1-2 inches away from it. Does it still not matter?
>>106559276No
>>106559878you probably shouldn't put the magnet directly on them but a few inches away is fine
What's the point of even getting a midrange GPU?There are many games now which you cannot even play at max details at FHD, and they will only get more as more and more studios simply use Unreal Engine 5.
>>106560297what part of mid range gpu means play at max settings
>>1065602975060ti, 5070, and 9070 will have basically 0 issue at 1080p.
>>106560380not in ue5 games
need new monitor, looking for 1440pis the KTC H27T22 mentioned in op just a meme or fine for daily use?
>>106560297If you bellieve in jensen neural rendering is the future and raster will become obsolete and at some point we'll get this massive generation breakthrough in which these midrange card willl be able to run better than the 7900 XTX because these card have modern tensor cores that can do AI accelerated tasks
>>106559276the 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.
>>106560297they cost less
>>106560297I pirate the game, if it's not fun I uninstall.FPS / graphics settings don't matter.multiplayer games (AKA can't pirate) tend to run on IGPU's like the steam deck.
>>106559407You do have scaling on in windows, right ?
Forgot to mention that OFC I will not enable frame generation and other gimmicky retarded shit.>>1065603805070 and 9070 are not mid range anymore, lol.They are the bare minimum though to play at max details in FHD.
>pirated gamespossibly a stupid question, but does DLSS and the other nvidia features still work on those?
>>106560590yes
>>106560582Well 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 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/cooperative-vector/
>>106560394>>106560582Why are you retarded? What games are a 5070 or 9070 going to struggle with at 1080p?
>want to game at 1440p>only the most upscale/RT reliant games are having a massive need for newer cards than the RTX 2080 Ti, most other shit I play generally aren't stressing the GPU by comparison>upgrading for rasterization is pretty much just for the sake of super high FPS past 60 or playing at 4KDo 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.
>>106560818Well how much do you value rt and the dlss featureset? That's probably what it comes down to if you don't want to buy a 5090.
>>106560793ue5 games you fucking cretin
>>106560930Depends 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 performancethey 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.>Ubisoft's Nicolas Lopez highlighted how Assassin's Creed Shadows would have had 2 TB of lighting data, and would have taken almost 2 years to bake the lighting if the game used the same lighting tech seen in Assassin's Creed Unity.It's clearly the future present. Ray Tracing already won.
3060 good for 1080p medium at 60fps.Performance doom debunked>>106560961>240hz monitorSeems like you're a good candidate for just using mfg all the time.
>>106561006>fake frames and upscaling onlook at how muddy and shitty that looks anon
>>106560981the 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.
>>106561013>fake frames?>muddyyeah it's 360p jigaboo
Does anyone have any experience building a lossless scaling rig with dual GPUs?
I'm not pleased with all these games saying 8 cores minimum
why are so many games becoming CPU limited now
grim
>3080 + 9800x3d>Still randomly slightly cpu boundSorry but a high refresh rate in this game is limited to gods chosen few (Buyers of Ada and Blackwell)
>>106561070processing 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.
>>106561082>>106561122whats the monitoring hud he is using? msi afterburner?
>>106561172Yeah afterburner + rivatuner (same installer)
>>106561172rivatuner, usually people use afterburner with it, but you can use it with hwinfo64 as well.
>>106561189>>106561195thanks. I have mangohud on linux so I don't need this shit, just curious, thats all.
>>106558998Taiwan and the collective issues of tariffs. Even southpark made fun of it.
>>106559290This is a good pic to compareI like the one on the right better
got some monitors off tiktok.27" curved 1440p monitors by REHISK. 2 for about 190 dollars. not bad. unfortunately the dp cable the monitor comes with is dog shit, made the monitor look pixelated and flickered. swapped in my other monitors dp cable and voila, works flawlessly now. the other monitor has a stuck pixel i need to fix though. overall im satisfied. 3/5 score
>>106561158games like roller coaster tycoon, hitman and mount and blade managed to do it fine

The LED strip melted due to heat and residue trickled to the back of the motherboard. I tried brushing the goop with IPA and brush but ended up having a thin film though it's less sticky.

My new monitor has a 1/4 inch socket on the stand (for using a full fat camera as a webcam, I guess) and I'd like to somehow use it to mount one of those chink long monitors.

Luv my 5070, simple as
Is it a good idea to replace my 4060 (bought 2 years ago new, still on warranty) with used 3080ti? X2 raw power, still supports DLSS, can be undervoted to ~260w, $350. My PSU is 650w.

Just put together a new rig, using a ryzen cpu for the first time and these temps are making me extremely anxious. Decided to go ahead and just stick with the stock cooler to save money, as stock cpu coolers have served me just fine in the past, but I've always had intel cpus and they never got up to fucking 90C. I know this is just how Ryzens are supposed to be and everything online says its normal, but I don't fucking like it. Do I shell out another hundo for a Noctua cooler, or just stop worrying about it?
>>106563080what cpu, and high temps during benchmarks or normal usage?spend less than half a hundo for a thermalright instead
>>106563080any modern CPU is going to be hotter than your old skylake i5, that's just how it is
>>106563080CPUs, 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.
>>106563095R7-8700F. 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?
>>106563142with a stock cooler at default fan curve that seems normal
Reminder that what's currently the xx90 tier cards used to be called the Titan tier cards, and nobody ever claimed that they were the go-to or intended choice for max graphics AAA gaming.Nowadays? Anything below the 5090 is seen as a poorfag tier card.
>>106563535If you're buying a XX90 card for gaming, you should be playing at 4K, otherwise it's a colossal waste of money. I will never understand why 2K and 1080p users buy these cards, it's pointless.
>>106563142>But playing modern games at high settings its jumping up to 85-90C pretty quicklyGet a better cooler dude that's pretty self explanatory
>>106563607The GTX1080 was good enough for 4k when it came out. No DLSS, no framegen.Can the 5080 do the same? Maybe, probably not, and in any case it doesn't matter, because it's twice the price.
>>106563622Global illumination and RT are to blame. It does look good though! In most cases at least.
>>106563607I have a 5090 for 1440p cause most games with fancy graphics can't even hit 60 fps on 4k without using shit scaling.
>>106560434That's what I use daily. It's great value under 200 euros, but maybe not the best

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.

When can I buy the Arc Pro B50 in Europe?
>>106564209It 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).
>>106564261Your 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?

>>106564296Ok 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 dropped9070XT - 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?
>>106564209DLSS 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 settingsThe 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.
>>106564977Being 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.
What happened
>>106564126>nearly half power stages missingBecause 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.
>>1065648665070 is power efficient too but its worse than the 9070
>>106564734That 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.
>>106566000they will boost until they hit one of the limits like clockspeed limit, power limit, current limit or thermal limitin your case it maxes out and doesnt go further because of the clockspeed limit

>>106566342you spent $1400 on youtube premium?
I am not partaking in any Nvidia vs AMD Gpu discussion until AMD has a 90 series competitor.end of. simple as. shush.

>>106566342yeah that's what happens when you try to play a game the way AMD want you to play it which is on console btw lmao
What exactly went wrong with the 7900xtx? Was it the worst gpu release of all time?
>>106566484>>10656614411% more transistors for 2fps sounds like a bad bargainis this one of those fake jeet/paki benchmarking channels
Radeon sisters I think I'm losing my faith, please reassure me. Why are we always waiting just one more gen for everything to be fixed, why can't things just be good all the time like they are on Nvidia?Will redstone really fix the issue of every instance of heavy rt or path tracing being totally broken or unplayable slow on my 9070xt?
None of you have a 9060/XT or 9070/XT. Everyone has an Nvidia GPU. Steam charts don't lie.
>>106566576Not true, I'm transexual and own a 9070xt and the now obsolete 1080p gpu 7900xtx (24gb)
>>106566506gamegpu is fake bench site
>>106566154Don't do mint just trust me. It's dated
>>106566616Russians and Americans are the only people who know how to benchmark video games
>>106566576
>>106566650who caresposting fake benchmarks on /g/ should be bannable
>>106566677Prove it's fake, seems more reputable than Hardware Unboxed
>>106566655that monster flavor is kinda shitultra white ftw
>>106566705Bad Apple is great, it tastes like an alcohol free somersby.
>>106566705the pink berry one is best, but i rotate my addiction to monster energy zero, ultra white, strawberry, the pink berry one, and the occassional peach flavoured one.The purple one is nigger-tier grape drank tho, i hated it.>>106566650hey who cured Patel?>>1065665767900xtx gigachad here, cope. I'll upgrade next gen to whatever flagship AMD put out, probably. It needs to be at least 50% stronger than my xtx tho.
>>106566723okay that's actually based though, enjoy your Radeon bwo
>>106566655I've drank a few of these nglbut I icemaxx a glass and pour it up>>106566705white gets old real quickall monster genuinely dotoo sweet garbage
