On the other hand, prices od current GPUs are slowly but steadily dropping so Im not inclined to buy right now. What do you think?

Because it was a stupid question. NVIDIA and AMD make more money selling non-gaming products.
The RTX 50 GPUs are made in the same custom TSMC 5nm process as the RTX 40 GPUs.
You obviously have to stop making the older chips since TSMC has a finite prodution capacity (and is fully booked for 2+ years).

Regarding a potential shortage of the RTX 50 cards, production of the Super GPUs should've started by now.
AIBs would've already placed the last major batch orders for these regular RTX 50 chips to prepare for the holiday season.
You're not going to get incredible discounts on existing RTX 50 cards, only limited 5070 models are selling (barely) under MSRP.

>>106635102
I've never used that specific brand but since its chinese, you should already keep your expectations low
That said, they are rather handy for productivity purposes, serving as an easy-to-carry 2nd monitor (or a monitor for an SBC) when travelling

I feel ashamed of myself because I'm not even rich.
The only other option was a 5080 which is more than half the price, but it also has gimped VRAM because Nvidia wants you to be a good goy and buy a 5090.
I also considered a used 4090, but I couldn't find one with warranty and they were all 2+ years old and 1500+ euros.

>Dying Light The Beast Hardware Requirements
>Hardware requirements are not very high, the game runs very well on a wide range of hardware. In order to reach 60 FPS at 1080p, without upscaling, maximum settings, you only need a RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 4060 Ti, RTX 5060, RX 7700 XT, RX 9060 XT or faster. Got a 1440p monitor? Then you need either a RTX 5060 Ti, RTX 4070, RX 7900 GRE or RX 9070. At 4K, things suddenly get a lot tougher and the only AMD card that can hit 60 FPS is the RX 7900 XTX. On the NVIDIA side you're good with RTX 4080, RTX 5070 Ti and faster.

>AMD cards are doing quite poorly in Dying Light The Beast and recent non UE5 titles, compared to where we usually see them in UE5 titles. We did use the brand-new game-ready driver from AMD, so it's not a lack of official support. Additionally, it looks like NVIDIA's newest Blackwell architecture gains some extra FPS, especially on the higher-end cards.

OH NO NO NO NO. btw if you really must buy an amd card at least wait to see if redstone is a meme and get a 9070 or 9070xt minimun

>>106636287
I know. I just didn't want to take that risk. There were a couple of local sellers, but one of them refused to let me test the card at his place, and the other listings were overpriced. Why would anyone pay 1500+ euros for a 3 year old 4090 with no warranty when there are new 5090s for 2100 - 2400 euros?

I paid 2260 euros for the Gainward model. I could have bought a Founder's Edition for 2160 euros, but I'm in Croatia and the Dutch shop that had them in stock doesn't ship to Croatia which means I'd have to use a freight forwarding service.
Unfortunately, a lot of EU shops refuse returns if you use a freight forwarding service so I didn't want to risk it.

The 9800X3D is overpriced for the performance uplift it has on the 7800X3D, see here (basically 5% in games):
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/27.html
AM5 will have support through 2027 or longer so you can always add an endgame CPU upgrade to your system later for cheaper when necessary.

The MSI PRO B650M-P's VRM is too weak and throttles top-line AMD CPUs according to HUB tests:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUUVW7wgR3s&t=1401s
Your next most affordable option is the ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 (avoid the HDV/M.2+)

2TB NVMes are better with how bloated apps/games/OS are these days and are a better deal €/GB wise (here it was only 15€ more than the 1TB Samsung drive to double capacity)

Nothing wrong with the PSU if it's a good price but it only has a 7-year warranty whereas this MSI model has a 10-YR warranty.

That's all great stuff. I'd pick a higher capacity drive though. Also, that pricing is crazy low relative to what I'm stuck with.

AMD is awesome. No one else has something like the 8700G out, save getting a Mac mini. Waiting for M6, hopefully they go all out with unified memory and we can get something insane like a 10000G with unified memory so RAM can be used as VRAM on the fly or something crazy.

It's a glass grenade with a short fuse, realistically it has 4 years or so left (until next-gen consoles hit) but then it'll hit a hard wall prematurely like the 3070 8GB did. The SUPER version will be the most improved version of what it should have been all along.

I dunno bro, that sounds like a decent amount of time for a GPU to last. Not everyone can be the 1080/Ti.
My 1660S was on life support on it's 5th year. I knew it was over when the minimum requirements for new UE5 games list a 1070.

What's the fundamental difference between these 2:

I just want to add 2 more sata ports to my PC. How do I know which one of them is stealing pcie lane from my gpu?

My cpu is 9600x and B650-e Asus tuf motherboard.

I've never upgraded a computer's hard drive, just shit like graphics cards. Otherwise I've always just bought or built a new computer.

However, I want to upgrade my OS SSD while also upgrading to Windows 10 LTSC, and I have no idea how to do this. Do I just take out my old OS SSD, plug the new blank one in, and then go into BIOS and install from a USB or something? I haven't actually done it yet, just asking what I should expect to be doing.

>>106636869
Yes but sit in a recliner away from the screen. Sitting that close is going to fuck up your eyes and neck.

>>106637424
Literally what you said. There's nothing complicated or tricky about it. Take out old, put in new, install a fresh Windows.

Just be sure to backup important data, or, you know...

where the fuck are the good mini led monitors???

>>106637562
Yeah I've got everything I care about backed up and/or on another drive. The OS drive is just super small and it's getting cramped and there are sometimes programs that only install to C: even if you tell it to install elsewhere or they offer no choice at all. I'm starting to notice the ~20 gigs that random shit in Local and Roaming eat up.

>>106637550
>>106637178
Annnd it's called "backhaul" but it's a standard mesh feature.

Another reason to use a mesh is that you have remote management options. Say you want your pc to not be online. you can do that remotely, with some mesh systems.

>>106637595
>on another drive
two drives, not just one. That's not a backup, is it, if you wipe your original?

>>106637609
Everything I care about is on a different SSD in the same computer and/or backed up on an external. I just want to replace my current OS drive with a bigger one due to all the random stuff that force installs to C: and whatever leftover things are on there from programs I've uninstalled or forgot I even had installed. Plus, I've been wanting to switch to LTSC for a while now anyway, so I'll get two birds stoned at once.

if you want to comfortably handle GTAOnline that's a great build, but you'll be stuck on 60fps on 1080poverty monitors with a 5070 and 9600x. If that's what you're using, its fine.

I would get 2 m.2s if i were you. One 1TB low-spec (still with a DRAM cache of course) for your OS and all major programs and drives. And at least a 2TB high-spec m.2 for games+data.

Hell, get a 12TB spinner-disc for data if you want.

>>106638059
image persistence doesnt care about what you react to
you'll see blur as things move across the screen

>>106638078
I see less blur at 60 FPS than 180 FPS because the individual frames stay on my screen for longer and can be interpreted individually. At 120+ FPS they just all blur together and I find myself focusing on UI elements like health bars and damage numbers to make sense of what's going on.

>>106638090
that could just be a terrible monitor?
to improve image clarity you need to combine high hz with fast pixel response times and oled easily provide that while older lcd's struggle
older VA panels can be very slow

TOSLINK is an optical audio connection, it's generally useful for connecting to full audio systems, but it's also useful if you need to connect two systems without accidentally putting in a lot of line noise and/or ground loops. It's a feature on nearly everything that's used by like 1% of 1% of users (including me).

>despite it coming out two years later, the PC port is using an older build of the game, with incomplete shaders, bump mapping, particle effects, etc.
>Animations are capped at 30 FPS with no interpolation, making everything jittery (fixed with custom edition mods)
>Broken shaders, bump maps etc anons have mentioned, makes Jackels impossible to determine by rank since their shield colors rely off shaders

Building one of these DB4 PC's.
So far,

Mini ITX board: ROG Strix B650E-I

CPU: Risen 8700G

RAM: 128GB (64x2) DDR5 6000 CL30 EXPO

PSU: ZF240 240W passive

HD: 2 TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe

This is all going to be passively cooled, sealed, not sure if there will be any heat issues besides the CPU with additional coils to push off 120W max from the CPU to the case. Will I be at risk of the memory heat soaking here, or can they run perpetually in a sealed system with no air?

Will be full throttle for hours at a time.

Spending a lot of extra money for "bling". Cut out the 3D cpu, X870, 1.2kW psu. Step up to better ram.
You probably do want the NoVideo gpu, they have much better video encoding quality.

If you really need a fucking $478 mobo, you already know you do. Otherwise, a less expensive mobo may be a better idea.
1200w PSU is hilarious overkill.
If you wanna do video editing, more RAM might be a good idea. (Stick with a 2-stick kit tho, if possible. More sticks = more strain on the CPU's memory controller.)

the lane bifurcation is going to fuck with you, unless you really need 40gbps usb c ports (which i honestly doubt) and you know what you are doing when it comes to the lane distribution
otherwise a b850 will probably serve you just as good
however theres new x870e revisions for msi (x870e max boards) coming later this year so it could be worth waiting for them and see if they are worth the money (doubt youll even get the full use of those, so id still get a b850)

I have a spare Ryzen 3600X and I wanna build a budget 1080-1440p gaming PC/console around it. Should I go for a 6700 XT, 7700 XT, or 9060 XT? Or sell the 3600X and go AM5?

>>106641384
lowkey it's for everything. i plan on using this build for the next 10 years so i want it to be as future proof as possible. the GPU could be changed in a couple or three years probably. my current PC is literally 8 years old and it runs great.

I was going to go for a 9800X3D but the reported fail rate is a little alarming. i want longevity.

Garbage ram for the CPU. At least get 6000cl30. Also exploding CPU can happen to any AM5 chip not just 9800X3D. The issue is trusting auto soc voltage for XMP and you will fuck shit up doing 8000 for you Ryzen.

nah. ~350 euros is a fine budget for a GPU. if im upgrading something, it's going to be the CPU to a 9800X3D and the ram to 64 GB CL30

>>106641630
You can buy a cheap used 9700X or 10700X once the 7600 is too slow.

>>106641414
If that's the JEDEC speed and not the XMP or EXPO factory approved overclock, they should. If this is a temporary thing while you save up for better RAM it's not a big deal.

>>106641494
ill try to make it as simple as I can
>cpu connects all the components
>cpu has set amount of lanes that connect those components to it
>the different boards essentially have differences in the lane count and quality (gen4 or gen5)
>more lanes = more components can be connected in the motherboard
>in your case, it means more nvme storage which will always be better when doing video editing
now x870 and x870e boards have the retarded specification of needing at least 1 usb4 port, that port alone takes away 4 lanes off the cpu leaving you with less lanes for nvme and gpu that connect directly to the cpu (which will always be better than connecting through the chipset). In order to have that usb4 port, manufacturers do something called bifurcation which means splitting lanes between components. most x870/e boards take away lanes from the gpu slot which is 16 and split it into 8 for gpu, and 2 nvme each getting 4 lanes. you would either have to not place nvme on the slots that share lanes with the gpu or kneecap the gpu for the nvme. Since you are getting a 5080 it can use all 16 lanes but if you add one nvme in the wrong slot it will get fucked and go down to 8 lanes, this will hold back its full performance.
youll be paying more for multiple features youll avoid or that will hamper performance
-
b850 leave the gpu lanes unmolested, almost all if not all b850 boards have gen5 lanes for the gpu and 1-2 nvme, the rest of the lanes being gen4 anyways and if theres any bifurcation its usually only on 1 nvme slot and 1 pcie slot (never the gpu slot) which you can avoid and still have 3 nvme slots since most boards have at 4 nvme
so x870 boards are the biggest scam right now unless you really need a fuck ton of high speed usb ports in the back and are willing to hamper your gpu for nvme
for storage, gen5 only benefits editing but the high cost and them getting hot af makes them not worth the money yet, so get gen4 nvme, its more cost effective
