Bros Can i make 9070xt somehow work on 650w if i undervolt? I really don't want to buy a new psu as well.

>>106797587
Nobody has a case like that any more

>>106797652
It should be manageable.
A 250~280W power limit + a stable OC & undervolt will get you most of the card's performance.

>>106797652
Unless your PSU is house fire tier you will be fine.
What is rest of your system?

>>106797665
Okay, but it won't explode before i actually get to undervolting, right?

>>106797652
There are models that only use two 8-pin instead of 3 or 12vhpwr

>>106797668
5800x3d, 32gb, 2 nvme. I have Evga, but i am not quite sure if it's gold or platinum now.

is it viable to build a mini pc? I know about normal pc's but not mini pc's.
I just want one for emulating older games (up to ps3 era) and it shouldn't be too expensive

>>106797671
Just set a power limit on Andrenaline before you run GPU-heavy workloads.
It depends on the quality of your PSU, some high end 650W PSUs can handle a 4090.

Man, the top of the mid tier GPUs, or supposedly so, both the 9060XT and the 5060Ti are bad, because there are already quite a few games that don't run at 60fps with 2nd highest details at 1080p.

>>106797682
There should be no problem.
You can still UV or even underclock if you want to.
Out of the box settings are often push the hardware for no or little benefit.
You could lower the power draw by around 30% and depending on the game lose 5-10% of the performance.

>>106797714
Anon, GPUs you mentioned are low end.
Don't get confused by price or the name.

>>106797715
Yeah, that's fine for me. I only have 2k monitor anyway and i don't put games on ultra settings.

>>106797723
Yeah, right, and what's the 5050?

>>106797744
Laptop GPU repurposed for Desktop because the binning is so bad it can't fit the tdp for mobile.

>>106797744
Both AMD and NVIDIA want to get away with providing the least possible generational gain for those $300~400 cards.
Neither of them wants gamers to hold on to their video cards for over 4~5 years.

>what's the 5050?
It's mostly for OEMs to fool parents and children who don't know how to shop for a decent card.

>>106797744
5050 is for oems or people making media boxes?
5060 is low tier for 300$

5070 is mid tier for 600$

5070 ti is high end at 800$

5090 is you want best of the best tier

I think I will take the 519 bucks deal, still somewhat hesitant, cause NEET, hehe.

But across all various reviews I have noticed that the REAL power draw with a RX9070 system is lower than the RTX5070.
Sure, you can have some nice numbers with some software tool displaying some low numbers with the 5070, but I trust a ammeter directly on socket outlet more.
316 Watts total system power draw vs 357 Watts and more with the 5070.

The only thing I will miss is Raytracing performance. DLSS won't be missed because I am using a FHD monitor.

>>106797865
I never trust sensors because software polling causes sleep issues. It's why everyone was like Ryzen guzzles power at idle because they always have afterburner or hwinfo64 open 24/7 that's polling the sensors every second.

>>106797865
DLSS is used as a means to have anti aliasing in modern games and dlss is better quality than fsr + wider support.

nvidia also has better productivity features, say you want to make ai porn or use llm's 5070 > 9070
both work but given you focus on power draw I dont even know what you're actual priorities are

A used 3080/Ti 12GB for under $400 total would be the better value for money.
9060 XT is closer to the 3070/Ti in raster performance.

>>106797881
Except Ryzen has high idle power draw due to chiplet design.
IO die power consumption goes up significantly once you overclock your RAM and set high VSOC.
And by high idle power draw I mean ~20W.
Setting polling rate for hwinfo even to 20seconds or not using it won't change anything.

matte finish is fine and positive in some regards, less fringing eye strain etc, easier to clean, if you get a droplet of liquid on glossy it instantly sticks out and needs to be removed due to reflecting light
but does not give optimal quality no

>Oh well the tandem oleds are out so you can buy a glossy one
no 4k ones out, only 1440p
the trueglossy ones feels like they would just be a worse qdoled equivalent at this point
if they drop 4k tandem + trueglossy it would be a bump in black levels, color volume and brightness so then maybe cool
but at this point I don't see why you wouldn't just get a TV instead maybe idk

>>106798027
>Told you to return it earlier...
yeah but It was a shorter return window than I even thought , like literally scam, anyway policy change and stuff
last monitor I had it for even longer until returning

>Are there no 32" 4K OLED monitors worth recommending based on your research?
Asus, LG, Samsung (on big sale and avoid tizen os + remove matte finish with the peel + avoid your controller knob breaking due to bad qc), Alienware, Gigabyte????? I think, Sony, MSI absolute last resort 24hour pixel refresh

Avoid Philips, AOC, HP/Omen, MSI (honorary king of the shit list)

If you are a rich fag and wanna pay the cost just buy Asus to get most settings and avoid problems they have both the new trueblack 32" and still the pg32ucdm/z/r
And if you want ultrawide LG has the 45" which is the best

I mean I have not checked out every single one if they some how have a forced refresh it will be a buggy mess and annoy you and they would get demoted instantly

there are plenty good ones but they all cost more too, the other ones were interesting because they were alot cheaper, that's why I tried them out, too bad their Firmwares all suck ass so what you gonna do

>>106798128
>bump in black levels
doesnt the qd oled have perfect blacks?

tandem oleds cant compete on qd oled with that, the white sub pixel helps boosting overall brightness I guess. Maybe less automatic dimming and such

in dark yes
but even woled with mla has more raised blacks with ambient light compared to tandem oled with no mla and stuff
so tandem oled has even better contrast in normal lighting conditions compared to the woleds monitors right now

They really did. They failed to try the one gen they actually could have potentially won at the high end for gaming. the 9070xt beats the 5080 in some titles thanks to the disappointing performance of Blackwell and AMD's more efficient drivers.

If they doubled the die area of something like a 9070xt to close to the size of the 5090, I have no doubts that it would have beaten it handily, though it probably would have required a 1500w PSU since Blackwell is much more efficient than RDNA 4.

Pic mostly unrelated.

>>106798187
They did the same with GCN 4.0 aka Polaris and it's their most legendary generation since HD 5000

5070, much better price to performance than both the 60ti and 70. 12gb isn't great but at the very least you're good until games start being built around the next playstation.
Actually think the 70 might be the best price to performance for a midrange card in a while. MFG does have value, very easy to hit 240fps even at 1440p.
70ti is easier to suggest if you think you're going to 4k in the near future. For futureproof, 5090, anything else is poorfag cope

>>106798312
I feel so bad for the 7900XTX. I have a 6800m so I get how it feels to have a high end RDNA2/3 GPU that could otherwise continue to work fine for years but just doesn't get support for modern features for basically no reason.

>>106798187
AMD only made 2 GPUs this gen?

>>106798320
it was so powerful that amd discontinued it. a oc 7900xtx would be on par with 4090 if you dont care about power limits.

>>106797587
What case? I want it.

>>106798332
Yeah, which probably isn't the worst strategy for them. When you're such an underdog with few resources compared to your competition, you can't afford to compete across the entire stack of products. You need to pick a weakpoint in Nvidia's lineup and exploit it as hard as you can. Now, I don't think AMD exploited it as hard as they could, but that was what they tried to do and I agree with that strategy, personally.

I feel sick because I sit too close to my 27 inches monitor. I think. Are fixed vesa mount good enough or should I invest in a vesa arm mount?

Are 27inch 2160p monitors no longer laggy? My old BenQ PD series had really horrid input lag that made even dragging a mouse around to be annoying.

>>106798326
Rdna2 was defined before rtx2000 released so they were blindsided by Nvidia
Rdna3 development started after rtx2000 was released so that's kind of why it was so similar to Nvidia ampere but amd's mistake was that they didn't go hard enough on making an ML upscaler

>>106798187
Why 5070Ti is "High-end" while 9070XT is "Mid-range"? They're essentially the same tier cards.
You should probably start "High-end" from 5080.

>>106797587
Is the new egg sale that starts tomorrow a real sale or another bait for retards sale?

Here's hoping they keep the 9070/9070xt around for a while and make it a value $280 option a couple years from now. That shit is built to be cheap to produce unlike the 5070ti and 5080

>>106798378
>That shit is built to be cheap to produce

>>106797289
>Also Arctic is often selling refurb/B-grade Liquid freezer IIIs for like 30€ here
Damn euranon that must be nice they're like 3-4x that here. Must be le tariffs

>>106798355
considering there are plenty gaymer 160zh 4k IPS ones like that I would assume they have the same input lag as all other gaymer monitrs

>>106798378
How is it built cheaper to produce than a 5070ti? They have a die that's almost the same size and require similar amounts of cooling. I guess Nvidia's reference design is especially expensive to produce, but that's about it. The 9070xt even uses a more expensive node from TSMC.

File: panel test.jpg (1.54 MB, 6300x1634)

heres the results of my in depth testing of qd oled (G80SD) vs VA panel black levels
the phone camera cant match what the eyes see even with reduced sensitivity so just assume the panels are perceived darker
interestingly the qd oled doesnt actually have elevated blacks the reviews mention unless you blast it with a camera flash

>>106798366
I agree with you wikipedia lists it that way for some reason

>>106798398
>interestingly the qd oled doesnt actually have elevated blacks the reviews mention unless you blast it with a camera flash
I've been saying this since I saw qdoleds in store demos the first time
the raised black magenta tint meme is way overblown, sure it exists, but cmon now
is woled better? yes sure
way more important issues to tackle before you get to this as a major downside

>>106798397
namely FSR4, I've hacked it to work with Optiscaler of course, but an official INT8 version would go a long way, especially for online games. RDNA3 isn't the best at ML either, I think the 9070xt has like 3-4x the TOPs so it's kind of lacking compared to GPUs with a modern feature set but that's more a hardware thing than a software one.

Do I really gotta spend $1000 on a GPU

>>106798396
9070 has relatively low tdp and requires dated gddr6 16gbit 20gbps chips
The only cost driver is the N4 node but that will start getting discounted over time and also be comparatively cheap next to by-then leading edge nodes like N2, 14A etc.

>>106798414
any impact on video/image gen?

>>106798420
I guess the memory thing is true, though between the similar die size and more expensive node, it can't be too dissimilar. You could be right, though.
>>106798424
the INT8 version (which is a beta fwiw) doesn't appear to have quite the same quality or performance as the FP8 FSR4, though it's good enough to where AMD should absolutely release it officially. I'd love to see these cards get the support they deserve.

>>106798416
For 1080p and 1440p you spend $500-$550
4k you spend $750
5080 is probably the worst "high end" card of recent times.

>>106798424
zero impact

>>106798414
its better than native thats all that matters

>>106798452
For 1080p you spend $500-$550 + $200 and grab both a GPU and a basic 27 inch 1440p high refreshrate IPS monitor from MSI, Samsung, AOC, etc.
Unironically 1440p DLSS looks and runs better than 1080p native. I don't think the 5060 Ti and 5070 are good enough for native 1080p in the most demanding UE5 sloppa without nuking your settings to potato quality.

>>106798459
right but my point is that RDNA3 can't do that without user hacks and programs that can get you banned from online games. FSR3 DOES NOT look better than native and that's all RDNA3 can do natively right now, which is a crying shame when they have the software right there to make it way better.

Well that's just not true, it just means not using the absolute max settings for like 5 games, which if we're being fair aren't 1080p60 native on the 5080 either
I use a 5070 + almost always dlaa at 1080p for everything. Super rare to not be over 60 even with max settings

>>106798548
I have a 5070 too and the performance uplift at 1440p DLSS Quality is solid compared to 1080p DLAA. Maybe I overexaggerated, but DLSS is your friend if you buy Nvidia. That was my main point.
Also 1440p good.

Need some advice, anyone have experience building a poverty computer? Saw a youtube video claiming you could build a decent 1080p machine for 450 dollars.
That seems absurdly low though, but my current computer is so bad I can barely run gacha games let alone anything more powerful. I was planning on waiting a couple of years to save up and build something nice but I'm not sure I can wait that long.
Now I'm thinking it might be better to just get something bare bones to keep me going for a few more years.
Any suggestions or ideas on what to do? My max budget would be 600 dollars. Is it possible to build something better than what I have now that would be a significant difference?

why are you running your 27" 1080p monitor at 720p though that must look awful
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8qnG9C a B580 would be great but it requires a better CPU to make use of its full potential due to driver overhead issues. the 5500 ain't anything special but it'll be a lot better than your 4690k

I know it is a stupid question, but is it better that the GPU be a Gigabyte brand one because the motherboard is Gigabyte brand?

>>106799125

I hope you only play GPU-bound games. CPU-limited ones struggle with slow RAM.

>>106799305
I knew I messed up somewhere on my first PC build.

>>106799269
>Will there be incompatibility issues?
No, but you'd probably want to get something as good as the 7700 XT or better. The 5060 Ti is basically a sidegrade, so anything 5070 tier or better will be a clear upgrade. The rest of your build is good enough to support a 5070 Ti.
>>106799318
Another mess-up point is probably the CPU because these 12-core Ryzen 9's are basically two 6-core Ryzen 5's in a trench-coat and games generally only use one of those 6-core packages to avoid latency from the two of them talking to eachother.
In terms of gaming you basically have a 7500F.
In terms of productivity yeah you will be making use of all 12 cores, because milisecond latency isn't as important as raw compute speed there.

>>106799269
5060 Ti is good yeah, and the motherboard/GPU being the same brand doesn't offer any benefits.

>>106799249
The XT is between 10-15% better. If you go with the 9070 look into the BIOS flashing method, people have gotten huge performance increases by flashing the XT BIOS onto the 9070.

>>106799220
>why are you running your 27" 1080p monitor at 720p though that must look awful
It just helps it run better, I don't sit at my desk I'm a little bit away from the screen so it doesn't look that bad to me.
Thanks for the info, I'll look into used stuff and see what's out there. Thinking I'll try to save until next month and see what kind of black friday deals there are. Might be able to get something better then.

>>106799431
yes but 60fps is console-pleb tier, you want to be at least around the 100fps mark ideally, if not 144fps, but to be fair thats a hard bar to meet unless you paypig for a 5090.

>>106799431
yes except for all the exceptions
like if you use console equivalent settings

just wait two more weeks guys the super 50 series cards are just two weeks away

>>106799431
Even 5070 can do 1440p 120 FPS if you use DLSS and 2x FG and set the graphics to the equivalent of "high" instead of ultra/epic/ÜBER/whatever. 2x FG is genuinely great in singleplayer games like Oblivion, but only with a base framerate above 60, ideally above 72.

Could do something like this. Will probably be a bit over $500 if you need a case, storage, psu, etc

LGA 1700 + Turing (especially the 2080ti) or a 3080 is probably one of the better deals right now if you can buy things second hand. The z690 or z790 boards will be nice for your future raptor lake processor.

12600kf in the top right if you can expand the budget a bit or get a cheaper 2080ti or something.

New? Forget about it. Come back when your budget is closer to $1000 (including gpu)

>60fps is console-pleb tier
I'd buy a PS6 on launch day if they could somehow prove to me that it would run every game, for 5+ years, at 4K60, no shader compilation stutter, no memory leaks, no FSR/PSSR upscaling.
The issue is 60 FPS is beyond console-pleb tier. It's entry level PC tier. Console plebs have to live with 30 FPS at 1080p upscaled to 1440p in 2025 games. Even an actual 1440p60 native would be great, but it's way beyond the scope of the consoles.
Remember that with the PS5 we were promised 4K120 and 8K60. Yeah.

>>106799344

>>106799614
smallest you can go is mini-itx unless you want to get into SBC shit and then you will not have the power

>>106799546
>no FSR/PSSR upscaling
It will never happen. Upscaling allows console manufacturers to use weaker (cheaper) processors.
They also want frame generation for similar reasons..

>>106799637
lancool 217

>>106799673
>under one hundred dollars

I've never built an MATX compute but I want to try it out for my next build. Will dual tower coolers cause problems in small cases? Should I just go with a cheap AIO if I'm putting a hot CPU in it?

I simply cannot do it, cannot justify to spend 550 bucks for either the RX9070 nor the RTX5070.

And then I have to go down the next step, which is the 5060Ti. While has more support for games and the better upscaler, it costs 100 bucks more, nothing on sale here compared to the 9060XT.

Downside of the latter is that it draws anything from 160 to 200 Watts power from what I have seen on YT with those gaming benchmarks.
The 5060Ti is indeed the absolute most efficient GPU you can get, 140W to 160W.

30W delta x 10hr/day (I am a NEET) x 360days is a 108kWh difference.
Electricity price is 30cents/kWh here, that makes the 9060 about 30 bucks more expensive each year.

>>106799705
With a 150 bucks difference and 35% performance difference you're straight up scamming yourself going for a 450 euro (or equivalent) 5060 Ti over a 600 euro 5070. VRAM is not as important as AMD shills would like you to believe.

Well, both Nvidia and AMD are scumbags, obviously they are all about profit, so they try their best to upsell their next higher tier card.

I bet both the 5060Ti and the 9060XT will already run out of raw power at fhd by the end of next year which will force you to play with frame generation and balanced upscaling.

The 9060 XT & 5060 Ti perform nearly the same so there's little reason to go for the 60 Ti if you just want something cheap to tide you over.

If you want the best bang for your buck get this 9070 that's $500 on Ebay right now (it's $50 less than the 5070, has more VRAM, and performs higher, see chart):

Probably 5070. Card is good enough you'll probably have no reason to upgrade for at least a couple gens unless you buy a xx90 or the 6000 cards are just really really good.
The 5070, you're looking at a 30%-40% uplift from the 60ti, and a 40-50%+ (some games are still just trash on radeon even without rt) from the 9060xt.
Since you're coming from maxwell, you probably don't know that dlss is really good now. As long as the internal resolution is ~720p you're good to go.

most games use upscaling and 720p is a base resolution they can upscale from to the output res of 1440p
the games might use terms like "perfomance, balanced, quality" mode or have a sliding % scale. usually they hover between 50%, 66% 75% base res
If performance mode dlss is 50% ratio then it upscales from 720p to 1440p

You have 3 or 4 presets in most games with the option to set whatever you want in the Nvidia App (usually)

>>106800688
There is a reason.
Stupid default TDP on Zen4 X SKUs.
Non-X Zen4 use almost half of the power.
This is also the reason why those X CPUs run very hot.
All of this to get ~3% extra performance.
Out of the box experience is quite bad because you have to tweak some settings otherwise your CPU boosts until it hits thermal limit.

ofc they need to nail the processing and firmware and other features or it's another trash miniled we've seen many of past 3 years

>>106800735
You can simply change the power limit in UEFI.
For 7600X the default is 142W PPT, 7600 has 88W PPT.
You can also tweak PBO settings and set negative voltage offset with curve optimizer, but that requires testing stability. The first option is fire and forget.

>>106800753
you dont do anything with monitor
if you own nvidia gpu released past 5 years you go ingame settings, enable dlss upscaling and select the mode and then you go game
if you want better quality you select higher base res, if you want more fps you select lower eg performance dlss

>>106800753
You set your monitor to it's native resolution (1080p, 1440p, etc.) and then in-game enable the setting called DLSS, and adjust it's preset between Quality, Balanced, Performance.
What DLSS does is take your set resolution e.g. 1440p, scale it down to something like 67% (~960p), and then use an AI model to upscale it back to 1440p with minimal image quality loss at a normal viewing distance.

A $600 launch day PS5 from 2020 still runs the latest AAA games "fine". A $600 PC from 2020 probably straight up can't launch Doom Dark Ages and Indiana Jones because it doesn't support hardware accelerated Ray Tracing, by having an RX580 or GTX 1060 inside.

Are the ASRock Mobo problems only with the 9000 series? I already have an itx ASRock board (which I'm replacing with an Asus strix for the current PC), but I'm thinking about using that ASRock board with a 7000 series CPU later to make a gift PC for my younger sister.

We used to play WoW together when we were both teenagers, and she hasn't had a PC capable of playing games for about a decade now. If it's too risky even with a 7000 series, I'll just get a different Mobo, but I'd rather put that cost difference into getting her nicer storage/memory/case etc.

>>106800881
The rumor mill says they will cost the same, which is unlikely but the 5080 super might get a price bump to 1200. With no cuda core count increase, so that will be a piece of shit.

>>106800884
In what world were you able to build a PC with RDNA2, Ampere or Turing in 2020 for $600, the price of the PS5, during prime covid, with massive electronics shortages and inflated prices?

Did Nvidia ever fix their driver issues yet for their RTX cards on Windows 11 or Linux today? Otheriwse im picking up a rx 9070xt. Can't find any proof that Nvidia drivers got better now since my games customer support says to downgrade.

How much should I trust the listed gpu length?
Looking at a 322 mm card, the user reviews say they barely fit it into a 330mm case
I have a 320mm and wouldn't want to buy another one just to put in a new gpu

>>106800907
If you're using Linux, you're probably better off with the 9070 XT anyways (unless your non-game activities really need cuda).

>>106800881
>How much more powerful are the SUPER cards going to be
Same performance, just more vram. 5070 super technically supposed to get a likely negligible improvement (6144 to 6400 cores?)
>cost
Unknown but it's probably reasonable to assume they'll be scalped out the ass

If you need an upgrade do it now while every Nvidia gpu is at or below msrp. Super cards are coming out in q2, so at that point you might as well just wait for 6000 which will be on a new node.

Literally single digits, and that's if we're being generous. Only the 5070 Super is getting a Shader Count buff so any performance increase on the other cards would be from juicing the clocks something you can already do to the vanilla cards with MSI Afterburner. I would go ahead and grab the 5070 Ti sometime between now and Black Friday on sale if you see a good deal.

7000 series is fine. Something about the 9000 series is not playing nicely with them (there are also smaller reports of issues with other OEMs too for that matter).

>>106800902
I have the B650M-H/M.2+ and a Ryzen 5 9600, no issues. Allegedly the problems are only with X3D power hungry chips which blow the VRMs up or whatever.

>>106800915
in that case the listed gpu length supported might have been with fans removed, so if he has 20mm fans in the front it would be a squeeze

>>106800922
God why is the 5080 so shit?

>>106800934
They're getting announced in January, you can expect stock in stores up to 3 months later, and normalized prices 3-6 months after that. Realistically you're not getting a 5070 Super for anywhere near current 5070 prices until next summer, maybe fall.

>>106800942
Good to know. I'll probably just get a 7600x. I already have an rx 6600 sitting around, which will be fine for a starting point anyways. I think those pair relatively well and leaves room for a better GPU later if she really needs it.

x3d tip: it's easy to cool in general but if you set curve optimizer to -20 or -30 all core (negative, so undervolt/harmless) an efficient CPU becomes even more efficient/cool.

temps are a non issue, AM5 wants to run hot. but it runs even cooler.

>>106800702
Mine seems slightly heavier, but not by much (6kg vs 5.8kg with the stand; I can't find how much it weighs without it), so that's good to know. Thanks.

>>106800949
Nvidia only want to sell 5090s and have spent the last two generations making the XX80 as shit as possible. They even tried to screw over the 3080 with that 10GB shit and releasing the $1200 3080ti

>>106800916
Okay then 9070xt it is. I just don't want Nvidia dll errors again.

>>106800947
I thought so too, but I've seen something like 30 or 40 different cases of the ASRock b850i/m boards blowing up 9600x CPUs over the last month. I don't think the 9600x is safe from the murderboard problem, just safer than the x3d. It's a bummer too, because I actually like ASRock. Their challenger GPUs are great bang for your buck and usually fit well into smaller cases.

>>106800960
Not all CPUs can do -30 or even -20. Mines craps out past -13. If you don't want it as hot then adjust pbo limits. The Mobo default has crazy high tdc & edc.

>>106800916
And if you're on Linux you can just use ROCm.

My stupid-ass guess is that it has to do with how they changed the 3D VCache sandwich layers on the CCD (and consequently raised the clockspeed frequency ceiling) between Zen 4 & Zen 5 X3Ds.

>>106800973
> I just don't want Nvidia dll errors again.

Tell me about it. My work computer uses a 3080 12 gb on Ubuntu 22.04. Every time I see a driver update I have to cross my fingers and hope it won't break everything.

Unfortunately, we really do need cuda support, so team green it is. For gaming or personal computers I'd never want to deal with these driver problems.

>>106800989
20 seems like a good starting point, the rest is silicon lottery. then again it isn't even needed cause the chip is so efficient (like 60 watts when doing cyberpunk with path tracing, some intels would draw 200+).

>>106800991
I haven't had good luck with ROCm actually being any good. It's definitely a lot better than it used to be and is starting to be more supported, but it definitely doesn't work as well as cuda for a lot of inference and engineering applications.

I'm glad that pytorch is actually taking seriously the problem of ROCm and Intel acceleration support, but it just isn't there yet for professional use.

that would be fine if they were consistent

but the 265K is in the exact same position that the 2700X/3700X was back in the day
in fact the gaming performance delta between a 265K and high-end AMD is smaller than something like a 2700X and 8700K or 3700X and 9900K
but they still recommended those chips to "budget-conscious" buyers because AMD needs to win and intel needs to lose

and then of course there's 14th gen which is still being treated like a brand new chip could blow up any second in your system
(but ryzen 9000 is fine, even though it could literally blow up any second in your system)

Corsair MP600 Elite vs Samsung 990 EVO PLUS
Both are 2TB and both are roughly the same price which is 120€, which one is better?

Okay so I'm definitely skipping NVIDIA drivers.

Switching to DX12 increased video memory consumption by 25%, increased the load on the video card by 15% and added micro-freezes from shader compilation in my game using Nvidias driver.

On friends AMD system its the opposite.

Well the driver issues on windows were exaggerated and were mostly only a thing in edge cases, and regardless the big ones were fixed.
However if you insist on being a meme lord and forcing yourself to endure linux for video games, yes you would go AMD

UE4 and 5 stutters are universal, it doesn't matter what gpu you have. Basically entirely cpu dependent. If anything you would have more issues with a 9070xt, RDNA4 is confirmed to have issues with ue4 and especially with any rt.

What's up gamers? Building a PC for the first time in 10 years. Looking at a 9060XT paired with a 9600X in a little case. Should I ball out and buy a 9070XT?

1440p is worth it because a decent entry level 27 inch 1440p IPS monitor is like 200 bucks, and even the 9060XT and 5060Ti tier cards can handle it with some upscaling.
Plus you get a 1440p screen for desktop usage which is always great.
