My Power A Xbox Controller has started drifting and the deadzone was off-center, It was a decent controller and it lasted me for some years, but i guess the drifting is inevitable with these joysticks

Is the Cyclone 2 the best controller for the price at the moment? or is there something better for cheaper? I use the controller mainly for Racing, Emulation and Adventure games,
Im looking for TMR/Hall effect Joysticks and triggers, with mechanical buttons and the cyclone 2 seems like a good choice.

Max budget is 45-50USD. Store of choice is aliexpress

it has tension adjusters on both sticks and each trigger can be changed on the fly between analog and single press
i dont know the latency of the Cyclone but the Vader has like 10ms latency wireless and 8ms wired if you are autistic enough about that
other than that its been pretty good to me and really durable, the extra buttons below abxy have been more useful than the back buttons but those are alright too desu
there was a gamesaar or 8bitdo that was comparable but I forgot the name

Get the 4070 Ti Super if you're going to use the extra VRAM for your paid work.
I'd get the 4070 Super 12GB if the modeling work is just a hobby.
You can sort of cope with the 4070 Ti Super's pricing, considering a new one cost $800 MSRP in the US.

An 8 core CPU does every serious workload that someone who doesn’t need a thread ripper will throw at it because most of it is GPU accelerated anyways. 28 threads on consumer parts is just a complete waste right now. That’s why like 8/10 of the top selling CPUs right now have 8 cores or less.

Well, the time has come.

I've got to get a new PC.

It's been ten years since I built my current one, and I don't even know where to fucking start. Help me, /pcbg/, you're my only hope.

>State BUDGET and COUNTRY or you will NOT be helped
UK. I was thinking around £2k but I could go as high as £3k if I was persuaded it was necessary.

I guess my biggest question is how much do I have to spend on a GPU? I was thinking that with a new PC I could finally get into the whole AI thing you young whippersnappers are always talking about nowadays. For, er... pictures. And videos. (and, genuinely, some non-porn related things). But I have no idea how much of a difference there is between GPUs. I was thinking £750 - £1000 was a sensible budget range but if the next price bracket was a big step up I could go higher. Likewise, I don't know if there's a difference between GPUs that are optimised for AI and ones optimised for gaming.

Same again with the CPU. If I'm going to be running fairly intensive generative AI, how much of a difference is a higher-end CPU going to make? I was thinking in the £250 - £500 range.

As for the rest, I'm not too bothered. I was thinking a 1TB SSD and 8TB HDD for storage, 64GB RAM, a generic case with fans rather than any fancy water-cooled system. I've drawn up a very rough preliminary build on pcpartpicker.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XJbwWc

I don't expect a full item-by-item breakdown, but if you see that I've cheaped out on something I shouldn't have cheaped out on, or picked a brand that sucks or has competitors that give the same for cheaper, I'd really appreciate a heads-up.

>So the 50 series is a worthwhile step up from the 40 series? Good to know, thanks.
As I know it the 5070ti is a better buy than a 4080 or 4080 super with the way pricing is in the United States, and as I know it pricing in the UK is overall pretty similar so...
If you're really serious about ai you might want to ask on a subreddit or other general or something. Think a lot of people try to get a used 4090 or something for a reasonable price.

Is the Silverstone GD08B HTPC worth the price? I've never bought a HTPC case before but it has everything I need.

>>106681025
its drag & drop

>>106680952
In the UK, you can get a used 3090 for £500-£600.
It gets you 8GB more VRAM than the card you have on pcpartpicker, and it's about half the price. VRAM will be the bounding factor with running AI models, not benchmark scores. If you have to drop VRAM to get a later generation card, it's a poor trade.
Do not listen to people who distrust used cards. The one video LTT ever put out that has been valuable to me is his tests of used GPUs, showing that they were not any worse than new ones.
There is no difference between an "AI optimised" card and a gaming card at this price point, except that you'll be paying more for the AI card.
You do not need a good CPU for AI at all. Almost all of the work gets offloaded to the CUDA cores. You are massively overpaying for a CPU if you stick to your list.

>>106681191
So Samsung is good for reliability? Noted.

>I just don't think an hdd is necessary unless you're hoarding, and I don't think you're hoarding with 8tb.
I actually have quite a large collection of pictures and videos (genuinely, not porn. Well, mostly not porn). I'm trying to future-proof this build and I could see myself going over 4TB.

What does it have that you need and think makes it worth the price?
Usually these cases cost more because they can hold weight on top of them without buckling, like the rest of an AV stack. If that isn't important to you, you might be paying for something you don't need.

>>106681522
I would advise against it personally. It's the same VRAM, and of models that can fit in that VRAM the 3090 produces tokens at a high enough speed that you'll likely be happy. More tokens per second will be faster than you can read and you don't get more VRAM, so there isn't really an advantage I can see so a 2x-3x price increase. Don't slip into consumeristic urges for no real gain.
If it were me, I would either save the money, or put it towards more storage space (AI models are not small), though the HDD market is a mess in the UK right now and rife with fraud, possibly everywhere. Just know that if you're looking at a "new" drive on Amazon there is a very high chance it is a used drive with SMART values reset. They comingle stock too so even if the seller you're looking at is upright it doesn't mean you'll get the drive they're selling anyway.

I get blackscreen resets on my 5070 Ti but ONLY on desktop with a browser (Firefox) open and ONLY after MPC-HC had been running for a bit beforehand and ONLY once in a blue moon.

I built this around mid to late 2018. I bought what was considered top tier for gaming at the time and really spared no expense. The CPU I had sent out, delidded, liquid metal, re-lidded and the entire build is in a custom liquid loop. Dual pumps, dual 480mm radiators, etc. The hard drives all report they're in good health and I have no problems with anything being broken. HOWEVER my gaming performance is quite shit. The 1080Ti just doesn't seem to be able to give me the grunt I need anymore and SLI/NVLink is seemingly all but dead. I am looking to upgrade to a new PC but was wondering if I have to. I.e. can I keep my existing PC as is and just swap in a new GPU or something? Would I be heavily bottlenecking something like an RTX 5080/90? I intend to upgrade to a fancy new monitor with all the bells and whistles, not sure if I want to go ultra wide or just go 4K. Either way I know the 1080Ti (esp only 1 of them, I have the 2nd one turned off 99% of the time now), is not going to cut it.

>>106682378
obviously you need to update the cpu to 9800x3d if you go to a 5070 ti type gpu

damn does Intel really have no answer to AMD 3D? I've been Intel forever and last I remember AMD they were shit. Would you say the 5090 is "worth" the money?

Like back when the RTX 2080Ti and Titan were a thing, the Titan was a huge waste of money.

ill care when i see the stellaris simulation time performance.

>>106682473
it'll probably be disappointing IMO since they're not stacking caches vertically but laying it horizontally and that will require tradeoffs like relaxing the timings or lowering the clock target which worsens latency

>>106682448
>>106682463
Hmm. Any idea of when that release date is? I don't mind waiting as my PC still runs fine and I can just turn down settings for now, but I'm not looking to wait another year. Also does new hardware really warrant custom liquid anymore or are air cooled variants of modern GPUs suffice? How about CPUs? I only went custom liquid because my current GPUs and CPU I have overclocked to their very stability limits for performance reasons, but it seems everything new comes out of the box at like 99% of its capability already. If I need liquid, I could essentially just get new blocks and put them into my existing case/radiator setup but if air/mainstream cooling is sufficient because overclocking is dead, I'm just going to build in an entirely new case.

>>106682481

Is R7 7700 a good CPU?

I've got whole new set of hardware but stutters are still here.
What i didn't change is monitor and ethernet cables.


Could anyone test some of this games, preferably with msi afterburner frametime graph to see if it's a software and not a hardware.

TF2C(Your hardware should pull at least 150+ fps on medium settings in 24 man matches)
WoW(Wotlk, like old 3.3.5 client, warmane have the most population for stress testing in main cities, but i've got stutters in the middle of nowhere too)
Minecraft(this pack https://rewindmc.com/)(probably need to disable some mods like flamingo, ears and disable numenu tweaks)

The stutters occur randomly and is identified by big spike in a graph.

Turn off everything in msi afterburner monitoring tab and only enable frametime(also switch to show text + graph in the menu)

Play like 30m to 2hours and list your os(w10 or w11), specs in pc part picker and any tweaks you've done with your installation.

>just install linux
I did try CachyOS and PopOs on old setup and got same stutters.

I have nothing running in background, no discord, no browser, no services except windows ones.

>>106682599
You can save money on the SSD. Unlike every other component the speed increase from the latest and greatest here is unnoticeable to consumer, non-enterprise users. A 990 Pro for a main boot + game drive is the highest most consumers will go. Use an X870E if and only if you need that many devices connected to it simultaneously. If an X870 board provides a boot status code LED that can be nice to have over a B850 that doesn't.

>Assrock
Choose any other manufacturer. They are still burning AM5 chips.

>>106682858
Not to say that there's nothing wrong with your setup but the three games you've picked are prone to stuttering by nature. TF2 less so but big matches, not to mention mods, can change that.

Look up the lane bifurcation of boards, plug in the nvme in the wrong slot and boom, you just kneecapped your gpu or your other nvme. 90% of people are gonna not make use of the stupid ass usb4 (fake thunderbolt) which takes away 4 lanes from the cpu, only msi was smart enough to split the lanes of that and the second nvme but I've read posts claiming msi boards have instability because of that lane split
just pick a b850 board
and yes avoid any and all assrock, it will explode your 9800x3d

regarding the rest of your build
>storage
the other anon is right, gen5 nvme is a meme right now, the only people that truly benefit form it are video editors due to the fat data they manage, even for them gen4 its still good enough. For everyone else, its a marginable upgrade at best, and at worst youll get a spicy nvme cause gen5 heats up more than gen4, lastly the pricing is horrendous for the amount of storage you get
>ram
corsair has dogshit modules and the heatsink in the vengeance is ass, get a kingston fury beast.
And yes, for am5 the best ram is 6000mhz cl30, any other combination and youll have to manually tweak it to make it fully stable without guarantee of it working properly

New Gigabyte x870e X3D boards are also doing same thing as MSI, ie. they allow splitting lanes between usb4 and m.2 slot

>>106683186
then why are you buying an x870e if you are going to disable the usb4. Shit is a waste of money
being more honest, x870/e boards look nice, and most have improved heatsinks as well as double thermal pads for the first nvme for gen 5. It's just a colossal waste of money if you are gonna end up disabling the usb4 and make them glorified charging ports

>>106683030
I mean they run ok but sometimes out of the blue there is a sudden, massive drop.
And i think cooler gets louder after this for a short second but i did extensive testing and cpu, gpu clock didn't drop a hz, and so is the temperature.
I thought it could be wireless mouse but no.
Maybe it's a power strip?

To rule out schizo theories i need external data.

That sounds like a software issue. Log the time and check Event Viewer, scheduled tasks, etc. Could be shader compilation but AFAIK all those games are pre-baked (mods might change that). Those games are all hard single threaded too so it may be a scheduler conflict - monitor per-core utilisation. Sorry I can't be of more help but the only game on that list I have is modded Minecraft and, yes, it does occasionally stutter. Though on my pack (FTB Infinity Evolved) the cause is usually obvious like loading in a giant factory or hundreds of dropped items.

Is there anything that shows usage per process? Like process explorer only displays colors and not actual metrics or i didn't tweak it right.

>>106683405
The SSD bug only affected HMB drives so yours wouldn't be hit. Your CPU is also single CCD so the updated scheduler shouldn't make a difference.

First proper day of gayming on my AOC miniled. Results are in:

HDR is a meme. Tried it in RDR1, almost got my eyes burned out with transitions between bright areas and night time. Why would anybody do this to themselves? Doesnt really look better anyways, its just weird.

Local diming works fine, but you pretty much have to manually turn it on for gaming and off for desktop use. If your leave it on in desktop, it dimms the dark areas (like dark theme websites) too much and blows the fuck out of bright areas (like non dark theme websites). Its hard to get a consistently pleasant brightness with local dimming.

OSD controls are an absolute ass. Like how in the flying fuck did they fuck up so bad in "current year". Small, unresponsive, hard to press, five of them in a row with no haptic difference between them. Sucks especially since as I mentioned local dimming doesnt work well in set and forget mode. If somebody knows how to make aoc desktop OSD control app make work, give me a shout.

Stand is meh. Great ergonomics, tilting and height adjustments are a breeze, but it wobbles when you press OSD buttons and it protrudes too much in the back so the whole monitor ends up more in your face than it needs, especially if your have shallow desk.

On the up side I havent noticed any VA smearing at all when casually gaming and colors of the panel are beautiful. Also amazing contrast and truly inky deep blacks.

>>106684573

just use SDR and set brightness to max and change game color to 12 in the OSD game settings. i also use gamma2 for a bit of extra brightness and shadow detail but i play competitive shooters so it's a preference thing

how can you judge HDR from a bad HDR implementation?

>>106684890
In some games it's better to use AutoHDR or RenoDX instead of the native HDR. Cyberpunk for years had god awful HDR that required mods to fix until recently. A lot of UE4/UE5 are better modding in HDR since their HDR only affects the 3D render but not 2D elements like HUD, Font, Pictures, etc.

925mV is a power-efficient cap.
The sweetspot is between 900~975mV, depending on how much performance or efficiency you want.
Raise the core voltage slider to at least +210MHz, these RTX 50 chips have decent OCing headroom.
+240~255MHz core offset is a realistic, stable limit for some 5080 bins.

>>106685834
Should we?

>>106685824
>push the wattage down as far as possible without sacrifing performance
You need the GPU core offset OC if you don't want to sacrifice performance.
+210MHz is almost guaranteed stability for most RTX 50 chips.

If you own 3DMark, the DLSS feature test is the most stressful benchmark because it's an RT test that also utilizes the tensor cores (DLSS + [M]FG).
Speed Way stress test is 2nd after that (Raster + RT load).
You shouldn't crash on any rasterized games if your OC passes these two tests.

You're missing the point; Samsung isn't capable of matching TSMC's transistor density.
That's why RTX 30 cards have larger GPUs; that's why the 3090/Ti had a smaller performance gap to the 3080/Ti.

Nvidia invests into Intel.
Im worrying.

tv makers like samsung, sony and hisense seem to be banking on that new RGB LED tech. not sure what it means for OLED but its worth noting that samsung isn't putting their QD-OLED at the top of the range but an RGB LED instead. and sony who used to always have OLED as their flagship tv has moved back to LCD and the 2026 flagship is an RGB LED like samsung.

my take: this is the beginning of the end of OLED. we'll see a rapid decline after this, just like plasma. microLED is about 5 years away too so it's heading that way regardless.

Why are the recommended PSUs for high end GPUs so oversized? Is it just Nvidia covering their asses for fires, consoomers chasing meaningless high numbers, or some real reason? I have a B-tier 850W PSU, why wouldn't it handle a 5090 when paired with a 105W CPU?

It's about manufacturers covering their asses, and the recommendations are likely based on a lower-end PSUs that's in some prebuilt PCs (plain 80+ or bronze units).

buy a decent AM5 mobo with PCIe5/4x16 and PCIe5/4 M.2 slots, Buy a 7700/7800x3d/9600x/9700/9800x3d depending on what performance you want rn, 7700 or 9600x if you just want a decent build they go for 200€, the other two go for 400-500 but are the best for gaming rn. Zen 6 will also be on AM5 and they are supposed to increase the core counts so they'll be beasts for many years. Buy a high quality 1000-1250 watt PSU capable of feeding the thirsty ass xx90 cards, get a decent case that can support at least a 360 AIO on the top and a GPU support, some cases have in built ones but it doesnt make a difference. If you arent interested in ever putting a xx90 class in then you can go with a 750-1000 watt PSU. Get either 2x32 or 2x16 6000Mhz CL30 RAM, its cheap af and we arent going to see any new ram for a long time. Get a 2TB NVMe gen 4 SSD, they are cheap af, 100-150€. Get some used HDDs for extra long term storage if you need it, you can find large drives for 10€ easy. Now you just wait for GPU deals, which is the only thing worth waiting for :) (during the holidays and new releases, 5000 super series is near, a lot of upgrooders sell used 1-3 year old cards in mint condition for cheap since they buy new stuff, great chance to get a 4080, maybe even a 5080)

Sum your CPUs and GPUs max power draw in full boost, add 100-150w depending on if you have water cooling or not. Congrats, you've got an approximation of the actual minimum wattage for your rig

>>106687128
>7800X3D
>5080
>+150w
so like 650w? [X] Doubt

Yo niggas give me you safest undervolt for the 5070. Just want less noise and coilwhine dont care if losing 5-10fps.

>>106687144
the main issue in this case would be if a 650watt PSU would even provide the 12vhpwr slot/have enough power delivery from the 8 pin PCIe connectors. Eg my 500 watt pure power 11 has one 12V 28 A (12x28= 336 watts) and one 12V 20 A so 240 watts. The power is technically sufficient but iirc the 5080 can either have the 12Vhpwr or three 8 pin so there would be single pin overload issues if i daisy chained shit

>>106686976
it's normally because there is a fucking stupid thing going around saying that PSUs best operate at around 45-65% capacity for efficient usage even though any good PSU will do that between 40% and 90% but you should definitely leave like 50W extra as overhead for new fans, ssd etc.

>>106687197
My fucking corsair RMe start clicking when the load is between 20-40% and they say it's because they want to maximize efficiency.

>>106687182
my 650w PSU can basically supply 650W through the 12V rail but I don't trust it enough because you should have a bit of overhead for transients, flying far too close to the sun there IMO.

>>106687217
>RMe
imagine getting a chink PSU

PC cases should not cost more than 70 bucks. It's literally just a metal box, small fans and cables. Why are there cases that cost more than a upper midrange CPU?

>>106687217
apparently RMe's just do that shit, some anons have said RMx is the only worthwhile stuff from corsair but i don't like corsair stuff too much personally, not that its bad but the one time i did get one it worked fine first rime i tested it on my system, then after getting the cable management fixed a fucking capacitor blew on the second power on. Yeah just a shitty batch and i was able to return it to get money back, but its enough for me to personally never bother with them again

>>106687255
I got sent a replacement and it's still the same problem. I always assumed Seasonic makes their stuffs but I was wrong.

>>106687258
Low production volume mostly.
Machines and molds are expensive, not materials itself.

>>106687272
RMx is the premium series but I don't even think they use Seasonic anymore for that (still very high quality PSUs though) and RMe is mega chink shit

>>106687288
Well it's still 7 years warranty and Corsair RMA is easy to deal with atleast in Europe so Im not too worried just little annoying.

>>106687315
>only 7 years
RMx is 10 years

>>106687248
well yeah im also of the opinion that for a primary system that you are looking to upgrade over the years or a system were youll plug a beefy GPU in you should get a big PSU, not much of a price jump from 650 to 750 or 1000, but the MINIMUM REQUIRED WATTAGE shit they claim nowadays is just bullshit, minimum required is essentially gotten by adding up the sum of all your parts max watt draw and adding 50-100 watts as headspace for transient (which is how i came up with my CPU + GPU + 150 formula, since the other stuff will rarely need more) while also ensuring that the PSU's outputs can output each individual thirsty piece. The main thing is that its pointless to stick to le minimum with PSUs and honestly kinda retarded, its better to get a high quality beefy PSU and be able to keep it for a decade plus than go with a minimum and potentially have to swap out a good PSU over what wouldve been a 10-20 euro difference for more wattage in the first place

>>106687335
In any case I definitely wont recommend any Corsair PSU to anyone anymore.

>>106687384
depending on budget RMx is fine because it's high quality, RMe isn't and should generally be avoided, but yeah at RMx prices you should be shopping to get something a bit better I think

>>106687258
if you're crying about the cost of a pc case, go buy a used one. Building my Antec flux pro was a pleasure (except for the cable-management, that was rough, mostly my fault though).

Also metal costs more these days, alot more. Everything metal is more expensive.

I don't mind recommending Corsair PSUs to normie family & friends.

>>106687540
just tighten your ram timings

>>106687521
They sell PSUs assembled by CWT or other OEMs, normies don't care about this detail.
You are recommending Corsair PSUs when you tell someone to get an RMx.

>>106687540
You could go for the 7800x3d it goes for 300-350 now as compared to 400-450 for the 9800x3d. The 9800x3d is only about 10% faster but it does drain less power so its cooler, maybe if you are temp constrained the extra price is worth it. In 2-4 years we'll have the best zen6 x3d available. Also get 2x16/24/32 (depending on how much capacity you need if you do more than gaming) 6000 Cl30 ram, its the best for AM5

why are Corsair's Vengeance sticks bad again?
I remember seeing anons complaining about them lately but didn't give a fuck

is it really the final cope for oleds? just turn off vrr? it flickers like absolutely mad running vrr in games anyway with unstable frames, literally unusable with my system though

might be worth keeping considering price but not vrr then? idk

nothing wrong with miniLED
it's just that OLED sees a lot of investment lately. also it's in the image of our society™ in that you get a consumable display with inherent planned obsolescence (it looks worse as you keep using it), which primes you to get wowed by the next product - from a business perspective, it's the perfect technology

>>106687851
Degraded cpus cause nvidia driver crashes. Which cpu do you have?

>>106687754
MiniLED monitors are a less profitable product to sell for monitor manufacturers, people expect these to be cheaper than OLEDs.

>>106687775
RGB and glass panels are a plague, theres like 3 new cases made without glASS that can take a 360 AIO on the top each year, which means you cant find them used since barely anyone has them. And now the current trend is EVEN MORE glASS with them putting it on the side and the front. Fuck this bullshit just give me sturdy ooga booga metal

>>106687948
>Fuck this bullshit just give me sturdy ooga booga metal
The metal case panels & chassis are getting slimmer & flimsier too.

>>106687948
on the other hand, cases virtually don't become obsolete ever, meaning you just have to find one to do all your future builds in
also it makes sense to spend more on products that you'll be able to use for longer, so it's pretty easy to justify splurging on the perfect boutique case with kino features like side panel vents

>>106687937

In the end it might be related to a more complex issue than just the gpu since it always happens while gaming
HOWEVER
it also sometimes "hangs" a browser until i drag the browser window around, im assuming thats the same error but since its happening outside of a game (or more involved procress) it doesnt crash
Just ran a quick cinebench for 10 minutes and there was no issue there either
Meh, it is what it is, i lost hope on finding a fix for this a while ago. I appreciate you all the same anon

Get MSI Afterburner and set the GPU core slider to -30 or -45 MHz and VRAM frequency to -50 MHz.
Downclocking the videocard might improve stability.

UE5 on a 6600 XT is over-before-it-began territory.
My friend recently upgraded from that card to a 5070, and he's enjoying life.

I'm about to build my new PC this weekend, and so I've also got a question about overclocking/undervolting. Should I do it, and how? I know that for RAM I should enable EXPO in BIOS, to the speed on the box (6000mhz, 30cl). For CPU (9800x3D) there is some PBO stuff, right? And for GPU (5070ti), there is something through MSI afterburner? That's pretty much where my knowledge ends. How does it work with warranty?

>>106687992
try turning off "Core Performance Boost" or "CPB" and PBO in bios and see if it works better. However it's unlikely a 46x cpu degrades, it happens to the 48+ multiplier 1.5V boost chips.

>>106688037
6600xt was a cs2/fortnite/dota2/generic esports slop gpu, playing anything else on it is asking for trouble. I hope he looks forward to buying a 6070 next gen when he gets cucked on vram when he wants to play Current Thing that releases in the next ~2 years.

>>106688129
He doesn't play Hogwarts or Alan Wake PT. Your FUD is pointless.

might give it a try slowing it

Migrating as a long-time Mac user to Linux. Will primarily be programming. Need ram for temporary local hosting and bloated IDE's (a sin, I know, but it's what I like!).

Main concern for me is my PSU and motherboard. I want to get the best bang-for-buck PSU I can get. Worried about compatibility with my parts on my motherboard. Also worried about any drivers needed for my motherboard / cpu and their compatibility with linux.

Yeah, I'll likely make the upgrade in the future when I need it. I'm in uni, so I spend most of my day working & school, not much time/need for personal projects. Trying to save money where I can too.

There are cheaper PSUs, but the $20 or so in savings isn't worth it.

>>106688500
>Also worried about any drivers needed for my motherboard / cpu and their compatibility with linux
CPU/iGPU will work just fine
it's impossible to know if the mobo is going to play nicely with linux, there just isn't enough linux testing out there, but in my experience issues are rare these days

>>106688553
just keep in mind adding more ram later means either probably running slower than 6000 or tossing the 2x16 completely

>>106688475
The GPU has a 12Vhpwr connector but the PSU doesnt have one, instead it has 4 6+2 pin connectors. Idk if theres an adaptor available but imo you are better off going with a PSU that has that connector natively since its been known to be problematic and causing card combustion. Shouldn't be an issue on a 4070 super as it doesnt draw much power but adaptors are always finicky

>>106688568
>There are cheaper PSUs, but the $20 or so in savings isn't worth it.
Alright. Do I have a good pick for $100, or is there a better option that is more reliable? It's the MSI MAG A650GL.

>it's impossible to know if the mobo is going to play nicely with linux
That sucks. I can always return it if so, I suppose. I'll buy it on amazon because I've worked with them a lot in the past.
>>106688592
> tossing the 2x16 completely
Yup, that was the plan. I'll just sell my current one on ebay or some PC parts site.

>>106688147
neither of those are games that haven't released yet, not sure why you can't think 1 step ahead, or even read what i wrote correctly.

buying a gpu with 12 gigs of ram and pretending it will go the distance, is pointless. 16gigs is going to become somewhat outdated in ~3 years, mark my words.
