I'm deciding between two assembled pcs, the first with a 5080 16gb (around 3000 dollars), the other with a 5070ti 16gb(around 2200).
Is the nearly 800 dollars difference worth the actual performance difference or not? Sorta of a noob question, I know.
I'd mostly use the PC to work, gaming (rdr2, cyberpunk, Monster hunter world) and the occasional AI image gen.I'm not saying I'd like photorealism but for what I'm paying I'd like to be in the very high end of graphics

>>106706505
The performance difference doesn't justify the $800 premium. get the 5070 Ti.

Thanks, guys. I'll buy the 5070ti pc and learn in time how to upgrade it, when the time comes

>>106706074
Hello guys, am from third world country, I'm planning to have this PC based on my budget.
- AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT
- MSI B550M A Pro
- Radeon RX 6500 XT 4 GB
- Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 3200 mhz 16 Gb (2x8)
- Corsair CV450 80+ Bronze
- Crucial MX500 SSD 1 TB
- Random case based on what's left on my budget, or i will find some boring office case.
How's my Build? this build could cost me around ~350 USD. most of them are used except power supply and storage.

>>106706580
5500GT will gimp the everliving fuck out of a 6500XT with its PCIe 3.0 only and cut down lanes, literally like -50% performance

>>106706074
What video cards will most likely last the longest in years?

I have had an Nvidia 1060 last over 8 years. I would like my next one to do last a similar length of time.

>>106706638
the most powerful card with the most amount of vram and the latest features, so the RTX 5090

>>106706638
You should probably target at least the 9070 XT or 5070 Ti, but expecting 8 years out of them is a stretch.
5 years is almost a guarantee with those cards since the next cross-generation (PS5 & PS6) games should last until 2030.

>>106706650
Fair enough and thank you.
What's a good compromise between lasting long and being budget friendly then?

>>106706593
Thanks for the input, so, what's should i do? what CPU that i should have to not gimped the GPU?

>>106706669
nothing

>>106706701
Thank you for being honest with me.
I guess I'll just get a GPU in my price range and hope for the best.

>>106706674
3600, minimum

>>106706718
nobody has a crystal ball, so nobody can tell you how long a new GPU will last

>>106706638
If you purchased 4090 back on the release, then 4090 would match those criteria.
Now I believe it would be best to wait for 6090.

>>106706751
Rubin top die has the same number of SMs as Blackwell top die, 6090 can’t be that much faster than a 5090

Why didn't anyone say how good the error recovery is on Radeon on? The system doesn't crash or black screenlike Nvidia it just throws up a timeout and carries on.

>>106706650
5090 will burn out its connector in 3 years
>>106706638
Probably the 5080 not that it's a good buy since it's only 12% faster than the 5070ti for 33% more money

>>106706638
9070XT and 5070TI will still at the very least hit 1080p high 60FPS in 8 years, provided that we dont enter the 12th circle of lumen nanite nigga tracing hell

alright, i broke down and ordered a 9950x3d. I can't take the wait times any longer. At least if it went 60% faster it would only take 12 hours.

>>106706638
If you're still using a 1060, literally anything.
>>106706765
Nvidia does that too. Last blackscreen I saw from a gpu oc was on vega

>>106707037
You're only shifting the melting connector from the GPU onto the motherboard by doing that

>>106707043
Neat

>>106706759
4090 and 5090 are both on TSMC’s 4NP node. Next gen GPUs will be in 2-3nm processes and will obviously come with large performance increases, as new nodes always do.

>>106706669
PS5 to ps6 likely to be a smaller jump than ps4 to ps5 and any earlier consoles. Honestly what I would find most likely is like something in the ps5 pro ballpark but with actual rt performance and upscaler.
Cross gen will almost certainly drag on forever like the last one.
Just don't buy an 8gb gpu and you're fine. 5060ti or 5070 should be good to go for a long time. If you want amd wait another gen so you're not cucked like 3 years later because your gpu doesn't support everything games want you to have.

>>106707043
I feel you, 9800x3d is just ass for encoding
I can't wait to upgrade to a 12-core 10800x3d just for more encoding performance

>>106707068
you can use both the BTF and 12v6x2 simultaneously

>>106707098
3NP isn’t much of a jump over 4NP

To be fair still haven't upgraded the 3600 and HDDs, and I'm not upgrading HDDs until they make cheap, large SSDs. No, 500GB - 1TB drives on rigs that usually have one to three slots aren't usable for modern gayming or AI. Seems like chink PCIe expansion cards with like 4 NVMe slots are the solution but probably gen 3 speeds desu.

>>106707131
AMD is going to be using 2nm anyways and yes 3nm is a decent jump.

>>106707238
If only AMD or intel put out a bigger 1ccx chip without cuck cores or interconnect latency in many workloads

>>106707187
The shill is too occupied with earning less than US $20 per hour.

>>106707260
i mean sure
but that's not why you bought the 9800X3D, it's because techtubers told you it was the best and you have to buy it or you're missing out

>>106707301
It was better than paying for tons of useless cores on error lake.

>>106707301
Nta but I would have bought a 16 core x3d chip instead of a 9800x3d if it was single ccx

>>106707238
it's really just for that one specific encode. The speeds at lower res are good enough, even at 8k with av1 it's not bad encode speed.
If this video works out well, I probbaly want to do 2-3 more and the extra encode time on the 8 core is too much to bear.

>>106707324
why does it matter? the second CCX isn't even active in games
i know AMD's approach to scheduling on the 9950X3D is kinda retarded but it's still better than cutting your core count in half
and even if they move to a 12C CCX next generation there's gonna be a 24C chip and that's still going to be the best

>>106707357
That's 100% the problem. Having half your cores turned off effectively turns it into an 8 core in games and you won't benefit from the L3 cache and thread scaling on the second ccx. I cannot justify spending extra on a 2 ccx CPU for it to become an 8 core cpu when gaming.

>>106707301
because it IS the best, and there's loads of games, or at least moments in time, within said games, where even at 4k and gpu-capped, a top-end cpu will provide noticeable performance uplift.

Anyone who disputes this and spergs about benchmarks is a poorfag who hasn't ever had a top-end cpu experience before.

i wouldn't really care but it is $700 so i can understand why you would want everything to be perfect
i don't know if there's a way to coax windows into preferring the first CCX but leaving the second one active
that would be the ideal approach (you can do this on linux)

It's called avoiding programs that aren't whitelisted by the multiplayer game devs; it's not about Reflex.
You are too brain-rotted to differentiate this.
And you don't need Reflex to reduce system latency, it's just an easy way for normies.
If you're downloading & utilizing RTSS or SpecialK in multiplayer games, you're not a normie.

ASRock AM5 boards have been known to destroy CPUs, you might want to get a different mobo. You might as well spend 20$ more on the cooler and get the peerless assassin 120. Also the 9600x goes for a similar price to the 7600x, its about 5-10% faster but quite a bit cooler.

>>106707558
I think the 9060xt is probably the better choice, with a weaker CPU like his, he’ll get better frame rates on average with the Radeon card.

Which is more power efficient, the RX 9070 or the RTX 5070?

Note, I will undervolt either one and do not mind losing 5 percent performance in exchange

With an undervolt it's the 5070 by like a lot. If you're fine losing a small amount of performance it can be under 150w at full load

Depends on the quality of your PSU; 700W is a bit of an unconventional capacity.

Maybe, what psu is it?
700ish would be fine, overkill even really, for 99% of even high end builds.
For a realistic 5060 build, just get something that's 550ish, seems like that's the floor for non dogshit regular psus now. Even for future proofing I'm assuming you don't want to spend the like $200 for a genuinely high end powersupply.

I'm the source. I have a 5070, at stock it's not hitting the default power limit outside of 3dmark. Usually would be more like 200/210ish.
With my undervolt I'm usually at 100-ish watts, Full load in games it's 150ish. This is -6% from stock performance

Only negligibly outside of edge cases in raster. I can find other edge cases where the 5070 would be nearly 2x faster too...

Not ideal, but a 5060 isn't going to stress this PSU.
Stick with a TDP 65W CPU as well, like 5600/X or 9600X.

>>106708701
I think the gpc psus are supposed to be trash, not 100% sure though.
Either way I'd say in general if your psu is out of warranty it's time for a replacement, $50-200 (for your 5060 build probably on the lower end of that) is worth for not having to worry about a cable catching on fire or the thing going pop and killing the gpu.

>>106709808
I would want to see someone test that.
You will set 65W TDP limit on your CPU which is 88W in reality.
Modern motherboards have overkill VRMs.
If you care about aesthetics I hope your case has removable top side or you should plug those EPS cables before you install the motherboard because they are a pain.

>>106709863
14600K isn't as power efficient, and manual tuning like undervolting is highly recommended.
9600X's AM5 platform gives you an upgrade path for Zen 6 CPUs.

>>106709863
who is everyone? reddit?

>>106709863
If you're just gaming they perform about equally so it'll come down to price/platform. The Intel is cheaper, especially with DDR4, but AM5 has another gen coming so potential to save in the long run. Good reasons to go for either one.

If I am just looking to be a 1080p pleb, should I get the 14400F instead of the 14600k? I've heard that the K is much more power hungry.

AMD played it safe with Zen 4 & 5's overall design, including the I/O Die.

you can run 8000+ MT/s but that means the infinity fabric becomes decoupled and you incur a latency penalty. its a balance between bandwidth and latency.

>>106710222
New case?
Either some obstruction, a bad motor, or maybe impeller warping over time.
Identify the specific fan that's causing the noise, and start an RMA if it's a relatively new one.

>>106710146
Which CPU? B550 Eagle WiFi6 is discounted to $100 in the US.

>>106710234
IF/FCLK is always decoupled from UCLK/IMC on AM5.
What you most likely meant is running memory controller with 1:2 ratio. So at 8000MT/s you are running 4000MHz MCLK and 2000MHz UCLK.

Did the SN770 1TB almost double in price since I bought one in early 2024? Or am I seeing things?

People praised this as something more than the price would suggest, I guess the tiny-hats figured it out and adjusted the price accordingly.

Don't insult chinkshit monitors, my KTC displays 4K despite being 2K

>>106711078
If pcpartpicker is to be believed then, the price is still what it used to with minor variance.

>>106711078
They don't make the SN770 anymore, SN7100 is the newest version.

Arghhh, cannot decide, it's pretty much same price, AMD RX9070 or Nvidia RTX5070.

What's the situation with upscaling on AMD? I do not want to dick around with Optiscaler and tweak this, install that to make FSR4 work. Why can modders do this while AMD cannot with an official driver?

If you are considering an AMD 9000 series GPU because you have been influenced by Reddit, Twitter or a wealthy tech YouTuber, it’s worth understanding AMD’s track record. While their GPUs are often great at beating cherry-picked benchmarks, they normally fall short in real-world gaming performance. Every year, an army of influencers target first-time buyers declaring AMD a godsend for PC gamers. Every year a small percentage of users get duped. Since almost all PC gamers use Steam, the February 2025 Steam statistics are relevant: AMD’s combined market share for discrete 5000/6000/7000 series GPUs is 3%. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s 4060 alone has 9% market share. This reality starkly contrasts with influencer hype. The reason is simple: influencers rarely play games and gamers rarely buy AMD GPUs. Experienced gamers know all too well that high average fps are worthless when they are accompanied with stutters, random crashes, black screens, excessive noise and a limited feature set. It’s notable that AMD’s GPUs have not historically had these problems in consoles because, unlike PCs, consoles operate in a closed environment which is less dependent on robust drivers. Using influencers for hardware performance data is less effective than using foxes to babysit chickens. [Mar '25 GPUPro]

its literally 2 clicks retard

I still haven't recovered from the price hike after the 2011 SEA flood.

If you don't own an LG M5 77'' OLED can you even call yourself a computer?

>Why can modders do this while AMD cannot with an official driver
I think one of AMD's recent display drivers added an FSR4 override feature. It works on games with FSR 3.1 support.
https://gpuopen.com/news/amd-fsr4-over-85-games/

It's limited than Optiscaler's coverage because the mod can route through DLSS.

>>106711303
It's called a prostate, anon, but there's a coin flip's chance you'll reboot with a different gender if you press it.

Someone mentioned he got his 5070 down to 150Watts power consumption.

However the 9070 can be also tweaked and there were reports of someone getting it down to 170Watts while only losing 10% performance.

>>106711504
10% performance is alot. I lost about 0.5-1% running at 180W on the 5070. I dont care about power consumption tho just coilwhine. 250W is nothing.

>>106711504
At 170w the 5070 is going to be faster though. The cards aren't that far apart at stock

>SSD recommendation

>no Hynix mentioned??

SK hynix Platinum P41 SSD

Damn, totally missed that gem, way better than the same priced WDBlack SN850X

>>106711669
they had firmware issues like samsung

Ol bros help me understand. I have a 9600x and B650-e asus tuf board. I tried to understand how many pcie devices I can use without them stealing lanes from eachother. My plan is using
>One 16x pcie 5.0 gpu
>One 4x pcie 5.0 nvme
>Two 4x pcie 4.0 nvme
>One 4x pcie 3.0 sata expansion
>All 4 sata ports that comes with the board

Does it look doable?

>>106711142
if you can afford the nvidia tax(tm) just go with them. honestly it's the least hassle. since you're posting here you're not a casual gamer or whatever so it can be assumed that one day you might one to dabble in some production or AI or some shit and nvidia just works. seriously not even shilling. there's alwatys a quirk with amd when it comes to that stuff where they're always behind the curve.

>>106712371
Every motherboard has some way to bios update. I don't believe that you got one that didn't.

>>106712381
you can update it but you gotta enter the bios first and you can't do that if it doesn't even recognize the CPU
it's a ASUS Prime B550-PLUS AC-HES

If it's an AM4 motherboard, AMD might send you a loaner CPU.
This will probably take a while.

You need to file an RMA with ASUS first and ask them to send you a board with the updated BIOS.
AMD will send you the loaner kit only if you show them proof that ASUS couldn't help you.
At least that's the formal procedure.

I'm struggling to decode 2160p h265 or even lower with my htpc, especially when also streaming it on discord at the same time. Even with mpv and heavily limited config. I suspect the main culprit is the GTX 650, but the i5 something with 3.2ghz is also getting a bit dated. I'm consider replacing it with b580, rx 9060 or rtx 5060. Will intel or amd give me all kinds of driver issues and incompatibilities?

Really all I need it to do is decode and stream through discord. Any other ideas? I'm not buying used crap, but it also stings to spend 250$ for fucking watching videos. I fucking p4 should be enough for this...

I have an old computer that I'm wanting to use as an HTPC. What AMD GPU do I need to have smooth 4k video playback on Firefox under Linux?

Get a 5600
Not G, not 5500, not 5700
Only these:
5600
5600T
5600X
5600XT
5700X
5700XT
and any higher

AMD platform nerfs

>>106708938
yeah 45 means your cooling is fine, it's the cpu
it's frying itself trying to reach that last 100mhz
lower your voltage a bit or limit max freq and check again

>>106712381
not everyone has a CH341A on hand

>>106709389
That WD is ass, QLC with very low TBW guaranteed, it will die on you very quickly and 2TB is too much
get a 1tb one of higher quality
the processor has like 16mb cache
get a r5 9600 at least
the CPU cooler is super overkill, the stock cooler for the 9600 is perfectly fine and even the cheapest chinkshit aftermarket cooler works better than the stock one
get an Asus TUF B650/B650M board or at least something with 12 or more VRM phases

>>106706580
do NOT buy that crucial if it's a sata
get a m.2 nvme, i'm sure your country has the Samsung PM9B1 or PM9C1, those are super cheap Gen4 x4 miles ahead of any sata

>spent the past 2 hours trying to get my headset to not blow out my ear drums with static any time they were the default audio output

I should really just get new headphones, I've had this Kraken TE headset for too long

Help. What should I upgrade? 1440p gaming and streaming at the same time. It's starting to chug.

Decent headphones last pretty long, as long as you put covers on the faux leather shit or find something without it.

back around the 00's yes. for silence and insane overclocking. for the past 2 decades it's been reddit/rgb tier.

9700x, b650 and m.2 nvme

I've had my pair of vanilla HD800s (non-S ver.) for like 15 years now. The key is to a pair of headphones with swappable headband/earpads, and detachable cables as the actual driver rarely is failure point.

For those in the market for a new gmaing monitor but not ready or have the funds for OLED, AOC have release the Q27G4ZMN (1440p 240Hz MiniLED-VA w/1152-zones) which is the upgraded version of the 180Hz AOC Q27G40XMN that's been on sale at Best Buy for awhile ($330):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNG7ST7M/

Also MSI has a version of the same panel now @ 300Hz (MSI MAG G274QPF X30MV, $400):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FP45L1BH/
Personally I think $350 is the max anyone should be spending on LCD in 2025.

logical reason except pulling it out of your ass? you have none
its only dp1.4, work perfectly fine on other monitors
