>>106672224
retarded question but does higher refresh rate impact performance in anyway? aka does it increase the gpu/ram load?

>which brand+model sells good mobos?
Not Asrock. For the others pick the cheapest one with the features you want.

>>106672328
No. No mobo comes with the latest bios. It's really easy to update and if you're capable enough to assemble the pc and install an os updating your bios is easy. Any dope can do it. Further your ram won't run at advertised speeds until you turn on your expo or whatever intel calls theirs. So you'll have to go into bios regardless. It's more intimidating than it looks. I believe in you anon. You can't half ass nerd shit.

>>106672432
Fuck. I did the ram speed bios thing like 8 years ago when I got my rtx 2080 rig. Im too lazy for that now.

Modern bios on a decent mobo is simple. You never need to enter an advanced menu or do the ram timings yourself. Don't spend money to get the best and have it underperform because you can't be arsed. Worse to worse call a local shop to have them do it if you're that scared. You're getting gouged because it's not a skilled service or anything. But I guess it's your money to waste.

Maintenance and upkeep are the time cost of having a decent pc. If you don't take the time you'll end up with a dusty box that overheats and doesn't run as advertised. Don't let pebcak be the reason you aren't getting what you paid for dudes.

>>106672551
>repeat until latest bios is installed
Nta but what? Is this really how it works? I remember updooting a bios a while ago, it was stuck on a black screen and never recovered, I stood there for hours, the website didn't say anything about updating one version at a time, is this just common knowledge?

>>106672328
if you are the same anon from the past thread, yes x870, x870e and b850 all support 9800x3d without updates
however, after further research out of curiosity:
x870 and b850 may have troubles with the 9800x3d since it wasnt part of the initial ryzen 9000 line up. some people claim it worked out of the box, others said it refused to post
x870e only doesn't work without updates with 9950x3d since its the newest one
>muh plug and play
for crying out loud just fucking use the bios flash back, shit just takes a couple of minutes
https://youtu.be/asdomsnbBb8
even if you tell me you have no other computer to do so, its still very adviceable to update the bios after your system is running
board manufactures cant predict the future to know if something will break/work before the board or a new cpu launches
plus, if one of your components doesn't work properly you wont know if its the bios or the fault of the actual components

>>106672643
You have to figure out what bios is installed by default then update sequentially. Most modern mobos or at least you can look at the features and a lot of them will have bios flashback in case you flub an update.

>>106672685
It was out of the box for me. Pretty sure MSI's are late enough that whatever you find now will have a compatible BIOS from the factory.

>>106672643
No. Usually you can just flash the latest. If there is a different protocol you have to follow it is written in red text on the page you download the bios rom from.

>>106672561
Hmmmmmmmm

High end on nvidias side is a 5080

>>106673252
Not really no, I can't think of anything other than minor nitpicks. Every time you switch from 360fps to sub 100 will probably be a bit jarring I guess but your brain adjusts after a couple minutes playing

>>106673412
Midrange*

>>106673252
360 Hz means that the screen refreshes every ~2.78ms, however if there isnt any new output by the GPU it'll just repeat the same frame. Actually achieving a frame time of sub 2.78 in a game is insanely hard since theres a shit-ton of operations that the GPU has to go through sequentially, so even with the most ridiculous GPU you'll get hit with hard diminishing returns. This is generally why i think 360Hz monitors arent worth it over 240Hz, as the ~4.16ms refresh of those is already hard enough to achieve comfortably. However its not an issue if you've got it and are hitting lower FPS. It may even have an option to turn down the refresh rate to reduce power consumption, either through the display panel or windows settings.

I miss 15 years ago when getting a game to run on your PC was already a miracle. 10 year old me would've hit his ass on the ceiling from excitement at being able to play a current-year game at all.

Do I need to update BIOS? If so, I'm currently on 2.10 version so can I go directly to 3.40 version? Or do I need to update it version by versions...

Do I go for instant flash or flashback? Does it matter?

Do I need to disable TPM for Bios update?

Flashback allows you to update the BIOS by inserting the flashdrive into the flashback USB slot and holding down the flahsback button, really useful in case your mobos BIOS gets fucked up and you cant enter the BIOS menu, but the file needs to be formatted specifically, check board manufacturer documentation. Instant flash is done through the BIOS menu, and at least in Gigabyte boards you get prompted with a file browser menu to choose the specific BIOS file for it to upgrade to, no idea about the specifics of your board but should be similar, check manufacturer documentation.
You don't need to version hop, only the current installed version of the BIOS is maintained and previous verions are wiped completely, so just go with newest. TPM shouldnt affect the update, but again, read manufacturer documentation, they'll mention if you need any specific settings before doing the process

Reminder that anyone shilling Radeon GPUs is on AMD payroll and shilling for a company with a sub-10% market share in the GPU field lmao

>>106673412
5080 is pointless garbage

>>106673655
I would never shill for them but my 7900xt works on my machine without issue. Never had an instance where I understood the hate the cards get.

>>106673763
FSR is garbage, literally the only reason. Native rez gaming is dead due to poor optimization, and Nvidia wins by default by having the better upscaler.

>>106673773
FSR4 is actually pretty good and definitely comparable to DLSS 3.X

t. 7900XT owner that isn't that guy

>>106673781
Half of the AMD userbase is on 580 or 6600/XT and neither of those cards will get FSR4, right? I'm thinking it's a death spiral for AMD even if they are technically catching up in technology, because nobody will buy their stuff anymore.

>>106672191
If you're not a competitive shooter gayman, or something, is it even worth going above 144hz? After that I think most people experience very diminishing improvements in smoothens and the hardware power required to run most modern games above 1080p and/ or low settings is very high.

>>106673793
you're not entirely wrong but I think if they keep providing comparable performance (a la 9070XT) and actually keep working on FSR they can keep clawing some marketshare back. The only reason that I'm going back to Nvidia is because AMD aren't doing a 9080XT

>>106673793
RDNA2 can run the INT8 version of FSR4. AMD just need to release it officially otherwise it's a pain in the ass to make it work. GCN is probably out of luck.

>>106673812
At least AMD CPUs are really good and the platform/socket support lasts 3-4 generations. If they catch up in the future I might be going back to team red for GPUs, who knows. Not in their current state though. DLSS4 and CUDA/StableDiffusion "just working" is comfy.

>>106673800
120 is actually enough if you're not omega competitive

>>106673837
yeah 7800X3D and 7900XT combo has been top tier for me, official FSR 4 support in the drivers would be enough for me to keep my GPU until next gen I think

Retarded argument cause you ignore how people look into buying cards. The average consumer is just looking at the current available products and chosing based on price availability and web reviews. RDNA4 has had a really good reception so far due to FSR4 and matching the 5060 and 5070 gaming performance at lower prices, combined with nVidia gathering a lot of bad faith recently due to the 5090 cable meltdowns and dropping the ball in terms of drivers. I've been perusing all the shitty tech comparison videos i can find recently and generally people recommend a B580 or a 9060 xt 16gb before a 5060 ti simply due to price and disdain for Nvidia's recent actions. In general AMD is on the right track by focusing on fixing their gaming performance since searching "benchmark" will give you game performance comparisons first before ever touching on productivity (were RDNA4 still sucks shit compared to nVidia, only place were it isn't completely grim is game dev were eg for unreal 5 the 9060 and 9070 are only 5-10% behind their price counterparts). And even if AMD falls to 0% market share they'll keep going after the GPU market so long as the current bubble exists, too much money in it not to chase it. As for productivity, UDNA is supposed to be their big ace in the hole for that, but imo the avergae productivity enthusiast wont switch awya from nVidia, that move is mostly to have a good product to offer to large datacenters than buy thousands of units on order

Hello just wanting to ask
>Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070, 8GB
for 140€, good price to buy ?

>>106674093
140€ isnt much and the 2070 8gb is still very performant, for that price i can usually only find some shitty xx50 cards or rx 6500/6600 8gb which is shit in comparison. Its a pretty good deal, so long as the card is in good condition

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000101986/graphics.html

As of September 19, 2025, Intel will be moving 11th - 14th Gen Intel Processor Graphics and related Intel Atom, Pentium, and Celeron processor graphics to a legacy software support model. Intel will provide software support for affected products on critical fixes and security vulnerabilities only. Software updates for these products will move to a quarterly release cadence with additional critical releases as needed.

I was going to give you a serious answer but I think you should learn what you need to say yourself

>>106674143
any actual issues with GPUs can only be discerned through a benchmark/use. If he cant do a benchmark ask him if the card has any issues with flickering, image artifacting, temps etc. Generally so long as it was never used for mining itll be fine though, GPU failures are rare.

>>106674162
Didn't want to talk down on anyone..it's just my english is fucking bad haha
So what are the things a "pro" or an expert would ask ?
>>106674166
oh thanks ! My current card flickers at the moment that's why i need a new one.
It's a r9 270 so you can imagine...old as hell. No updates since years..
Everytime i delete the software the flickering stops but once back on it flickers.
>Benchmark
i guess he has the card dismantled allready...but will ask !
thank you !

>>106671445
From what I have seen 4090s and 5090s have a flawed power delivery design. This means that even if everything is connected properly and you also have a good power supply then the power delivery can still be over like one rail above all others - randomly. Its a design issue which cant be fixed by plugging cables properly.

RX 7600 8Gb used for 190€, looks in good condition and the attached benchmarks are in line with the benchmarks of brand new 7600. However the guy decided to do the retard thing and clean it out with a compressed air can, whats the chance the fans will just die ?

>>106674217
>cant be fixed by plugging cables properly
You're 100% right. I have an Astral that measures per-pin current and a slight movement in the cables at the psu end is enough to massively swing the current distribution per pin from a balanced 8.6A to anywhere from 3A to 11A running through a pin. These 600W cards gravely requires active current balancing for them to last past the warranty period.

>>106674217
If I owned a x090 I would set up fans to constantly blow at the cables. The chance of burnin might be slim but it is definitely present.

>>106674218
The fans are fine. How else are you going to clean it, scrubbing with salt water?

>>106674315
If you let the fans spin while cleaning then that can end up producing current, depending on the capacitors used and the amount of time spinning this could cause damage. Its best to clean by holding the fans stationary but you can never know if the guy did this while buying used, which is why i prefer a dusty dirty GPU (a two year old GPU shouldnt even have much dust accumulated anyways, ive got a GPU from 2018 i havent cleaned once and it only has a fine layer of dust on the top.) Anyways my main question is if modern GPUs are still at risk of the current generated by the reverse spinning of the fans.

>>106674361
Well yes that can happen, you're more susceptible when using a real compressor at 8 bar.
Obviously the seller would mention it if the gpu is broken or the fans are bad.

>>106674361
Autistic? You know not everyone lives somewhere that’s exactly as dusty as where you do, right? I need to dust my entire PC every couple of weeks or it looks like a tornado went off in there. Also, think I’ve been hitting every GPU I’ve ever used with the data vac for over 20 years and I’ve had precisely one fan break in that time and that wasn’t even after cleaning. It’s a complete non issue.

>>106673940
>but imo the avergae productivity enthusiast wont switch awya from nVidia
you mean average artfag, because let's be honest that's what those people are

>>106674594
I feel you, get yourself a compressor on battery, little one, xiaomi makes good ones

>>106674781
I’ve been using the same (American made) vacuum/blower from data vac for 20 years and it still works like new. I do keep a compressor for tires, though.

>>106674756
Well, AMD is much worse for stuff like blender, but at the same time a 9060xt is still better at blender than a GTX1080 but people never complained about that card not doing well with it when it came out (was the best commercial card for it actually) and blender hasnt changed much since. In many ways comparison is the thief of joy, the current budget cards can run all these "productivity" programs just fine, but some cards run them twice as fast (in theoretical scenarios most people wont encounter) Only place were AMD is behind that makes a perceivable difference is AI shit but for enthusiast use AI shit local gen is 4090/5080/5090 or get fucked :)
As an aside I really hate it how normalfags push this narrative that you need a brand new GPU for editing, fucking editing hasnt gotten any heavier in the past 15 years and people used to do that shit with GTX710s, which nowadays even iGPUs that exist purely to give you video output outperform.

there are other ways to get a rough idea than just asking the company itself.

>>106674908
yeah last month I was thinking of buying a sparkle B580 titan 12gb, can get it brand new for 240€ and its really powerful for the money but Intel's been so erratic lately that its very well possible they'll just drop driver support in a year or two and i doubt theres going to be any significant open source drivers for them. It only makes sense to buy it if you want a GPU for a year or two to wait till UDNA and RTX 6000 drop if you are currently on decade old hardware and dont want to buy used, but personally i like to keep my hardware till it completely breaks, but jewtubers have been essentially touting it as the budget king when people who operate on such a tight budget are always looking to keep their cards working for as long as possible, spend a buck to save a buck etc

>>106674983
I built a system for a client with a B580 but that was before Blackwell was widely available and it was genuinely the only available option for the price. Even then, I only recommended it to him because he told me he was going to upgrade the GPU within a year or two when he got more money.

>>106674978
steam survey is even worse, if we could cut out 100m of trashy internet cafe machines with 1060/2060 in them then it would work

>>106674128
AMD is also moving RDNA1&2 to legacy status next year

>>106674934
>>106674954
>>106674978
AMDs market share only got fucked up in 2022 when the AI boom begun and is largely connected to it, but even for stuff like steam it's decline is related to dropping the ball after the polaris generation, Vega and RDNA 1 were just shit, while when RDNA 2 came out the 3060 was the hottest kid on the block. Market share for discrete GPUs is a complicated subject and it generally takes a couple years of good offerings to actually see any difference in GPU share, people arent rushing out to buy a new GPU every year. Plus the low end offerings matter a lot for the pre built market, were again AMD had a 4-5 year gap were they were lacking any good offering, this is especially important due to internet cafes and the rise of fortnite kiddies that nagged their parents to get them a pc for fortnite and roblox. Essentially, if the trend set with the RDNA 4 generation continues then we'll see AMD rise in market share within the next two to four years, not immediately.

>>106675013
Deprecating RDNA 2 is old be a crock of shit. My 6800m has more VRAM than most modern GPUs and is plenty fast for modern games at 1440p. The fact that I have to make FSR4 work on my own is pathetic and they better not abandon drivers for perfectly good GPUs already.

>>106674937
>While we’re not sharing specific roadmaps at this time, everything we discussed aligns with and complements Intel’s existing strategy. This collaboration with NVIDIA enables us to deliver additional custom solutions that accelerate AI workloads and broaden our reach across high-performance computing segments in client and data center.

>We remain committed to our GPU roadmap. We’ll be collaborating with NVIDIA to serve specific market segments, but we’re also continuing to execute on our own path.

Do you really think that they are going to stay dedicated to a market that they have 0% marketshare in, especially considering they are gutting every single project they had and now to the peril of Nvidias IP interests? Don't you find it strange that they have been mostly silent on arc despite its aggressive cost/performance with the holidays coming up? Id love to buy an arc but every sign points to Intel roaching out on it entirely.

>>106675049
FSR4 drops fps on RDNA2 though

Any real inherent downsides to MicroATX motherboards besides the obvious ones caused by size constraints like looking funny, fewer slots, less IO?

>>106675049
>>106675065
rdna2 is in the igpu chips on every am5. it will still get security updates but no more game updates like intel. this is only for windows ofc. on linux you have mesa which has support and development as far back as the 2011 radeon.

>>106675080
No.

>>106675065
No more so than RDNA 3, it’s like an average of 30% fps uplift in FSR4 vs 40% or so with FSR3, very usable. Plus, since the image quality is so much better, you can run at an even lower internal resolution and still get better image quality than FSR3, leading to better overall performance as well.

>>106675105
I tried it in witcher 3, I can't tell the difference from FSR3.

Very cursed time to be buying a GPU. Either budget thru this mess with an 8GB cuck card to "stay current" or spend upwards of 700 to a grand+ for a underpowered flagship. Either way, the games coming out are going to be horrifically optimized, and that's even if they were any fun to begin with. I might just stick with my old 1080 and ignore the fact that drivers are gunna be non existent. Fuck Nvidia.

>>106675124
There’s a very good chance that it’s bugged in certain games, I tried in Cyberpunk and it looks a lot better, though performance is about 10% worse than FSR3 at the same quality setting. I also don’t think it looks as good as FP8 FSR4, but better than FSR3 for sure.

>>106675153
It’s amazing what you can get a $150 2060s to do if you just butcher the resolution, serious staying power in that cheap ass card.

Yes, but there's basically no difference with the MSI which MSI MAG 271QP QD-OLED X24 & MSI MAG 271QPX E2 which both are $50 cheaper atm (it doesn't even support Dolby Vision like the 32" AW3225QF):

>>106675372
3rd gen QD-OLED is still superior. I don't think WOLED will ever surpass the color quality of QD-OLED due to white subpixel dilution and worse panel uniformity. LG needs to deliver a true RGB subpixel panel but I'm afraid they've become self-satisfied with the results of the tandem sandwich as "good enough".

>>106675153
1080 was released in May 2016; missing out on new game-ready drivers just means your relic won't stably run upcoming titles.
Your GPU is already weaker than a RX 6600 non-XT.
You can still play hundreds/thousands of games in your nine-year-old card.

>>106675454
The problem is the crazy high price of QDOLED. I know there exist now some older panels at 600-700€ but they are trueblack 400 only. The newer MO27Q28G uses 4th gen WOLED and seems to be priced around the same, while being trueblack 500. It's not released in the EU yet, so I'm hoping it's priced around these numbers, based on China pricing.

As you can see from >>106675454 and here these new True Black 500 Tandem OLEDs only have a brightness advantage when displaying pure white. During contention consumption when colors are on-screen even 3rd Gen OLED will have the advantage in color volume which is effective additive color brightness. I guess if you have a bright viewing environment or can get a good deal in your market they'd be fine.

It's a good entry point for WOLEDs at that price, even some high end IPS monitors cost over $400.
>why is it so cheap?
I'm guessing Gigabyte is aggressively undercutting LG Electronics & ASUS to win some OLED monitor buyers.
They will be hoping these buyers will upgrade to higher margin Gigabyte monitors in the future.

>>106673278
if you are going to do other things like video editing, 3d modeling or any other non-gaming tasks that benefit from a gpu you are better served by nvidia

>>106675908
How much did you pay for the QDOLED? There were some 240Hz monitors priced near $500, even if you ignore the less-impressive AOC QDOLED monitor.
QDOLEDs have better overall color volume, and the new WOLEDs can hit higher brightness (within panel & monitor manufacturer's warranty coverage).

That wasn't a bad price; the new WOLED monitors have their downsides. The new Gigabyte WOLED will also have a matte panel finish.
You need to pay a premium for ASUS' TrueBlack glossy filter to avoid WOLED matte or QDOLED glossy panels, and these monitors will cost near/over $1000.

Intel simply treated Arc dGPUs as a necessary project to learn how to make better SoCs.
If you want to supply processors to mobile PC manufacturers, you need to move on to SoCs for ultra-thin or power-efficient products.
It's also stupid to completely rely on NVIDIA's GPUs in the long run; the Arc business will be funded for iGPUs at the very least.

The RTX 50 series support DisplayPort 2.1 with a UHBR20 data rate of up to 20Gbps, to enable high refresh rates at ultra-high resolutions, with HDR visuals. The RTX 50 series also features high-performance, hardware based Flip Metering, which shifts the frame pacing logic to the display engine, to allow the GPU to precisely manage display timing and accurately pace frames at high framerates and when multi frame generation is used.

Connecting multi high displays, frame generation without input lag, HDR without color banding or performance loss, multi plane overlays, a lot of this stuff is handled by fixed function hardware besides the 3d GPU cores themselves.

In a situation where you don't want to pay more than $250 for a GPU so your only other current gen option is 5050.

i know its bad but i need to buy a gaming laptop for 600 to 800 dollars, what should i look for?
any good models?

>>106676894
You can always try it out and see the difference for yourself.
It should have fewer glitches associated with having two monitors running at separate refresh rates, etc.

>>106676979
You're fucked at that price point, you'll be lucky to find laptop GPUs that run better than a 5050.

>>106675377
bough a 6800xt for 290$ a month ago

>>106676979
you're only choice will be 5050/4060 shit
you might unironically be better off buying an ROG Ally if it's primarily for gaming at least it'd be far more convenient if not strictly as powerful
And really, at that price point the laptop is not going to be good at gaming by any stretch. But of course it'll depend on your needs

>>106676979
>>106677059
4060 is alright. I have a friend that owns one and he can play practically anything with DLSS.

What are the best looking miniITX (ormicroATX) small desktop cases? I like the Fractal Design Terra in Jade, but is ther anything else comparable? I've seen some Midori case from Japan, but it's expensive and not super available.

I have a SATA slot in my motherboard that I'm currently using for an old HDD.
I mostly use it for installing games, but most modern games load a lot of resources on demand instead of pre-loading them, and the lag of a HDD isn't great for that.

Is it worth replacing it with a SSD? Or are SATA SSD shitty too?
Maybe I should just upgrade the NVMe card instead.

>the 5070 TI performs almost 20% better on Silent Hill F than the 9070 XT
did nvidia finally start paying unreal engine 5 devs to optimize unreal engine 5 games after the borderlands 4 fiasco?

Should I get a 9070 xt or wait for the 9080 xt?

>>106677352
If you have five, 3x front intake 1x rear exhaust 1x bottom rear intake
If you have six, 3x front intake 1x rear exhaust 1x bottom rear intake 1x top rear exhaust(this one isn't really necessary)
Bottom intake is pretty nice for your gpu.

>>106677416
Maybe whatever engine version Mafia and Borderlands were on just happened to be super rdna-friendly if pc optimization was bad?
>>106677425
Neither. 5070 or 5070ti
Also 9080xt isn't coming

>>106677370
A SATA SSD would be a miles away improvement.

>>106677439

But I don't want the nvidia overhead

>>106677439
Is very weird though because when you compare them using TSR you get the usualy results like this one >>106677413
but DLSS4 VS FSR4 the nvidia card gets around a 20% extra boost on the nvidia side

>>106677472
Are you seriously buying a 9080 XT to play at 1080p?

>>106677472
Not as big of a deal as it's made out to be, if you're playing only esports you should de prioritize a big gpu anyways.
For ue5 games, I think Daniel Owen is the only one who sees these massive stutters only on Nvidia, probably an issue with his setup.

>>106677416
Silent Hill 2 / Dragons Dogma 2 favors Nvidia
Resident Evil 4 / Wuthering Waves favors AMD
It goes both ways

>>106675153
I don't see the prices and value of new cards, especially Nvidia, improving. If you Wait™ long enough before upgrading, even the overpriced upper midrange cards will be a good and worthwhile improvement. Basically to counter their bad prices just upgrade less frequently.
I'm also now on a GTX 1080 but I'm looking to upgrade so I can play a few newer games and old ones at higher settings and frame rate. I'll also be good for at least 8 years with my new rig. For context I'm on 1440p 144hz but if I was on 1080p and on a lower refresh rate I would probably keep my GTX 1080 longer. I'm not even worried about game-ready drivers because I stay away from modern AAA slop.

>>106677561
Yeah but in those cases you can see the difference on raster which means that the performance is down to those games being able to utilize the extra bandwidth and the bigger L2 cache nvidia cards have compared to AMD which use infinity cache ( which funnily enough is the reason their cards usually do better in recent UE5 titles as that works really work well with nanite and lumen) in this case silent hill F is a unreal engine 5 but it's somehow the first one were only DLSS4 is absolutely turbocharged in terms of how much performance is boosting which makes me wonder what the fuck did they do.

>>106677618
Nvidia/AMD can replace the DirectX shader bytecode in their Windows drivers to be more friendly for their GPUs for specific games. This is the whole point behind "Game Ready Drivers".

On Linux you can see the performance without the mask.

>>106677663
There is no mask though, we are talking about gains that were unheard off on lumen/nanite games.

>4K 9070 XT FSR 4 Performance 66 avg fps
>4k 5070 TI DLSS4 Performance 85+ avg fps

>>106677370
If your motherboard has M.2 slot that supports PCIe, you should get a PCIe SSD. If not, SATA SSD is still a huge improvement over a HDD.

And it's less that SATA SSDs are shitty and more that PCIe is better and costs the same.

>>106677497
It's how I did it anon. If you just apply the latest patch that's fine. It's the same just fewer steps. I don't have the cash to afford being sorry so I'm careful. If it's placebo I can live with that.

An ITX board would probably suit my needs most, but I'm still on an ATX.

is it worth it to get the 3090 for ml/ai stuff and also 1440p max settings for gaming? the 24gb vram would really help. was first gonna get the 5070 ti for these since a used 3090 does go for around the same price as the 5070 ti which does suck but yeah. usa btw

yeah i'd use dlss, or just high settings not max

>>106678943
Sounds like a plan! The only remaining concern I'd have is the price - here it's about 600 euro used, which is the price of the regular 5070 brand new. The 5070Ti here is around 900 euro.

>>106678768
It's just Mickey Mouse for people that like anime.

>>106678965
ah yeah, im trying to find a $500 to 600 usd used 3090, but right now all im seeing is around $700 to 800 for the 3090, which is kinda iffy since 5070 ti is also going for that price, sometimes cheaper, so i am leaning towards that one

the xg seems pretty nice on first glance and thats about as much as im willing to pay for a monitor
other high end ips panels are retardedly expensive or non existent were i live
will the xg27ucdm be good for my use case? (video editing, editorial design, gaymin)
rtings say theres fringing on the windows but I could probably live with that, the text fringing is what gives me headaches
or are there other monitors that would be better in the same price range? im willing to give the oled you recommended a chance since it has that feature of turning off when you are away from the screen, I hate the latent risk of burning which is why I was set on ips panels

>>106678990
Decide if large AI models that need 24GB VRAM are more important to you than gaming performance, I guess? The 5070 Ti is definitely faster than the 3090 in games.

qdoled w/ glossy can be harsh with the eyes, entirely depends on how sensitive you are and if you feel problems
maybe you can get over it or not if you find it a problem, 32" would be worse, 27" is better
some people reported the 27" is better
I can't say if you can tolerate it or not, if it's bad your only option is to get woled instead to try it, or try matte and see if it's better
32" woled would have more fringing but different type of it so who knows
too many variables to say

>or are there other monitors that would be better in the same price range?
all the other ones are either same price or more, msi (worst oled care, might be tolerable now though), samsung (ultra matte), alienware (had big problems+fan?)

>turning off when you are away from the screen,
seems like a useless feature and might be buggy

>I hate the latent risk of burning which is why I was set on ips panels
burn in won't happen in one time though it's more like burn out and an accumulation over time of the same pixels being worn
if it happens temporarily it's just image retention

Trying to make a white build with a 14600K intel cpu and I cannot for the life of me find a white B760 (or Z790) motherboard. EU based btw.
No but seriously where the fuck do I find any?
I can only find white motherboards for the 1851 socket.

Should I get a new 1080p monitor if I have the 5070+9600x combo? Upgraded because I wanted to replace my 10 yearold monitor but this setup runs like a dream on 1080p 60fps. Max out every game and the gpu fans are at 0% most of the time pc completely silent. I'm gonna miss for the first time in my life having a premium setup. Should I just get a new better 1080p monitor with higher refresh rate and all that crap or am I doing myself a disservice by not going up to 1440p?

So looks like Nvidia will shut AMD out of OEMs by leveraging that they can only pair Nvidia GPUs with Intel CPUs on laptops and desktops.

Guess AMD are going to be self build or server only from now on. They might even drop out of consumer chips entirely if they can't sell them to OEMs though, desu.

amazing

but where buy???

>>106679492
A 1440p 240hz monitor that's a year or two old second hand is going to be roughly the same price as a new 1080p 280/300hz monitor. If you're fine buying used I would just do that
If you're using dlss and mfg both of these targets are pretty easily done
Also if the monitor is va (and a high refresh rate) the trick is to just use bfi instead of gsync.
>>106679466
>white
I'd give up on that and just buy a regular blacked z690/z790 board second hand. Maybe prices are different in europe but in my mind having to buy a new board outside of sales kind of destroys the entire point of buying lga 1700 as of right now.
I have a black motherboard with white everything else and I think it looks better this way honestly.

How do I download a girlfriend?

>>106679492
1440p is the sweetspot. games look crisp on it and it's just as easy to run as 1080p nowadays especially on a 5070. don't forget that dlss quality at 1440p is around 1080p or thereabouts anyway so in the worst case you can just use dlss4, while having 1080p-like performance, but at better than 1080p quality (looks basically identical to native 1440p).

There weren't that many laptops with AMD CPU with an NVIDIA or Intel dGPU to begin with.
No one cried foul when Apple picked Intel & NVIDIA as their sole CPU & GPU suppliers before Apple decided to make their own chips.
AMD never wanted the lower-margin mobile market; they never made a mobile GPU that's good & power efficient enough to capture the high-end segment.

After owning an am5 platform for 5 months i think the most annoying fucking shit is how terrible amd is at making usb work painlessly
