>>107109388i'll build in your ass if you don't watch your mouth
How does the ryzen 7 5700x hold up? found a good deal on it
>>107109459not great compared x3d
>>107109459its fine for most games assuming you're not aiming for super high refresh rates
>>107109396>>RTX 50 Super: 2026 launch
>>107109459Pretty okay all things considered, some ue5 games would be kind of cancerous but you could probably coast with it until new platforms or the start of the next console gen.
i have a ryzen 5 5600X with a RX 6600which should i upgrade first? considering i'm not changing mother boards any time soonalso my monitor is still 1080 (albeit 2560x1080)do i even need to change atm?
>>107109459>How does the ryzen 7 5700x hold up? found a good deal on itStarting to show it's age. Considering a far more powerful 14600K is ~$200, a fair price for it would be about $145 today.
>>107109486youd be looking at 600€ for a am5 mobo, ddr5 ram (lmao prices), new cpu+ 600€ for a better gputhe gpu is by far the best upgrade now, look at 5070 or 5070 tithen after that look at 1440p oled monitors, glossy tandem is best
>>107109500https://www.displayninja.com/best-oled-monitor/ has the specific model names
>>107109486I fully agree with >>107109500 & >>107109500 except I consider QD-OLED to still be both better performance and value atm if you have ambient lighting control. Your CPU should still be less bounding in games than that GPU.
>>107109486gpu. Might as well just put off any cpu upgrade if you're not changing sockets + ddr5 pricing is fucked at the moment. Missed the boat on am4 x3d
Has Arc Celestial dropped yet? It's rumored to be 2x as good as the rtx 5090 super.
>>107109486>also my monitor is still 1080 (albeit 2560x1080)If it's been like 5+ years sureSpecs that were ultra expensive at that time now come super cheap
>>107109526you forgot your meds anon
>>107109511reason Id say tandem oled is good is how it should have less brightness limiting when you use it normallythe qd oled still has way better color volume but it might not be noticeable in most content
>>107109500>>107109511i'm brazilian so i cant afford all those things hahaonly one upgrade at a timei use linux, so i'd rather stay in a full amd environment for compability (and also prices)i've found a RX 9060 XT relatively not too expensive just north of 500usd (for reference i make a little under 400usd a month)the cheapest 5070 in comparison is 760usd
>>107109534oh I have "buy gold chain" on the calendar.
>>107109544Are you experiencing low framerates with your 6600 with the gpu at 99-100% load?
>>107109524>Missed the boat on am4 x3dyeah, i only just found out about it.i built my pc in feb 2022 and never looked to upgrade until now.>>107109528i got it around late 2022, its a nice big ultrawide. for me its more about the size of the screen than actual resolutiono so its probably gonna be the last thing i ever change
>>1071095445070 is likely the best optionits more powerful, relatively cost effective and will work better at 1440p for the futuredlss has wider support than fsrso pirate windows and buy 5070 even if you have to save a bit, the cost difference vs 9060 is worth
>>107109574Multiply your monthly income with 2 and think whether you should spend it on a 12 GB gpu. The answer is NO.
>>107109562i get about 50fps on elden ring, and between 30~40 on HD2 on medium settings unless i use scalingi can only play cb77 on medium on low, don't remember fpsi can't say the load on the gpu as i don't think i ever bothered checking, but i do remember that it got really hot sometimes, like 90ºC maybe another factor for me is how much power is it gonna draw compared to the 6600, because electricy bills are really expensive in the country right now
>>107109582you'll be running most games at balanced transformer model dlss the extra vram of 9060 doesnt make your gaming experience better with worse fps, and not having fsr4 is a not of games + all the other software benefits nvidia has
>>107109596You are stupid.
>>107109606how are you gonna buy an oled monitor with amd gpuyou wont have video hdr
>>107109613What are you talking about? Would you spend double your monthly income on a video game toy, yes or no?
>>107109620the price difference between 9060 xt and 5070 in brazil is apparenly like 20%?
>>107109631>500usd (for reference i make a little under 400usd a month)>the cheapest 5070 in comparison is 760usdThat's 50%.Didn't make it to sixth grade yet Nvidiaboy?
>>107109642>i've found a RX 9060 XT relatively not too expensive just north of 500usd kys
>>107109537Fair. I'm just personally biased toward critical viewing.>>107109593>>107109544I would hold out for a 9070 (doesn't have to be the XT version). There's a lot of unreasonably expesnive-midrange slop cards that it sits with, while the 9070 is more than twice as powerful.
>>107109593Use upscaling, don't waste so much money on a low end card
>>107109644anon lives in brazilthey don't get market prices like us or europe
>>107109574At least one of those prices is hiding a crack pipe.
moral of the thread so far: don't be brazilian
>>107109574also, you actually want to calculate your own personal uplift.$ per uplift frame = prospective_cards_price/(prospective_cards_fps - myfps)This is why actually the "best value" is a garbage value, maybe, FOR YOU.
>>107109680I disagree, I think you should always wear flip flops and keep a glock in your underwear.
>>107109544>(for reference i make a little under 400usd a month)Jesus christ
>>107109690>glock in your underwearFront or back?
>>107109544>>107109593Keep saving, if you go for a budget gpu it will last you 3 year max but if you spend a little bit more you'll get something that can last you up to 7, specially if you can hold on until the next gen as new consoles will be out so they'll be significantly more future proof than current hardware
>>107109574>First gpu with no major strings attached or a made up price is the 5070Nvidia bros we fucking won>>107109699In the front with my team-red clitty uwu
>>107109644>>107109672>>107109677we have 92% tax on all imported goods (of any kind) plus a load of other taxes on tech goodsthats why its so expensive>>107109693sigh... yeah...
>>107109725do people routinely get someone to ship them goods bypassing the taxes
>>107109733not that i know ofmaybe rich people who know people who can afford to travel
>>107109777I mean you just need a guy abroad buy the thing, then package it as normal postage to you.what are the customs gonna do about it?
>>107109785you would still got to pay tax on those. everything is retained by the government and only released after they checked the goods and the receiver has payed any taxes they deem to be owned on it, even if it is a "personal package" like a gift instead of a purchase
the ram sticks I bought for my PC last month doubled in price what the helly
>>107109794line going up for stupid bullshit must go on, please understandUpdoots to the left :)
>>107109791but the guy buying it abroad paid tax alreadyyou cant tax stuff twice
>>107109816>you cant tax stuff twiceHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAtry telling that to the brazilian goverment lmaofor example, every year a car owner must pay tax on it, 4% of the total value of a brand new of the same model. thing is, that price already has over 60% tax on it, so you're paying taxes over tax you have already payed when you bought it
this is listed as a sata ssd but looks like an nvmedoes this connect directly to the sada port, like an usb?
>>107109877No. It connects to the m.2 port but it uses sata not pcie
>>107109877i think there's some sort of confusion between what a sata and nvme ism.2basically the form factor is different to the type of interface.https://www.kingston.com/en/blog/pc-performance/two-types-m2-vs-ssd
>>107109891>>107109892ah, i seei thought nvme and sata were like hdmi, vga, usb, you knot, port types
>>107109905easy mistake to makei never bothered finding out about it until i upgraded my 10 year old pc
>>107109816Taxes aren't real anyway.
>>107109916is this a good ssd for my pc then? https://americas.lexar.com/product/ssd-ns100/i already have an nvme, i need extra storage and my mb only has 1 nvme slot so i gotta get a sata ssdi'm not even sure if this is a mb ssd or a portable one desu
Not sure if anyone remembers but I’m the anon who was having trouble with his 4070ti running hot as fuck and the fans were ramping up to 100% no matter how many fans I added and I even bought a new case to see if it would help.I finally fixed the issue.Undervolting the GPU and now every game runs fine without DLSS and with high frame rates.Something so simple.I still have time to return this new case I bought - with the only reason not to is because I have my AIO radiator mounted to the top of my case which allows for the front of my case to have 3 fans.Radiator used to be mounted at the front of my old case with tubes at the top (I’ve been told this is bad).Is this reason alone worth keeping this case? Putting everything back into the old case will for sure suck but it is what it is. If it matters, the case was $79

explain to me what the gayman screens in the OP bring more than a cheap screen with the same main (resolution, refresh rate, hdr) specs
>>107110540AM5? You cooked? What platform though? Just sell the extra sticks and get the ones you want.
>>107110607cheap IPS likely perform very similarly to each otherthen minileds have backlight zones that make hdr easier to accomplish and OLEDs have 0.1ms pixel response times and each pixel is controlled individually which gives you best hdr experience
>>107110607Nothing, if the panel is the panel is the same IPS in both cases, enjoy your cheaper monitor and let the pay pigs pay for their brands. If one is Oled and the one you are looking at is VA or IPS, the branded one is better.
>>107109380>Provide specific use casesGaming. Maybe AI slop.>State BUDGET and COUNTRY or you will NOT be helpedBudget: between $1500 and $2500 max;Country: Poland.
>>107109613The fuck are you talking about, Any GPU can play HDR videos.Or are you unironically suggesting adding fake colours hallucinated by AI to normal SDR videos?
>>107110919if you keep monitor on hdr mode 24/7 its an issuethe rtx HDR makes vids look better if they're sdr
>>107109968If it's a DVR/CCTV type of HDDs those usually have TLER=0 meaning if there is any weak sector they instantly give up and skip the sector as bad.Normal desktop drives can retry one weak sector for up to 30 seconds, often successfully recovering the data.However I have no idea how often that type of read error can occur.
>>107110052>AMD dropping support for RDNA 1 and 2Clickbait title.Maintenance support means devs make new shit for current gen and if it can be painlessly ported to RDNA2 it will be ported.Nvidia does this with all their current-1 gen GPUs all the time, they just don't make special announcements.
>>107110888See if you like this: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/ym7hVF
>>107110449I've been buying monitors, trying them for a month and selling again just to return to my ancient CCFL IPS because every desktop monitor sucksOnly worthy upgrade was OLED TV
>>107110052>>>new hardware on Linux being still badIs hardware really bad on Linux? Is Linux good with high end hardware? I only hear it being used for low end desktops, SBCs, or then at the other end literal Supercomputers. What about people with overkill builds?
>>107110943So RTX HDR makes SDR video in HDR windws mode look almost as good as SDR video in SDR windows mode in full gamut monitor mode?Why even run HDR mode in the first place? it still makes the rest of the desktop apps look like shit.
>>107110888We don't have a good price comparison site for Poland so advice will be more general i.e. no optimisation on the commodity components. With that in mind this would be a good starting point: >CPU7800X3D or 9800X3D depending on pricing/budget. Could go 265K if you do (paid) multicore work too.>CoolerDual tower air; PA/PS120 or similar. 280/360mm AIO if you want super-quiet operation.>MoboAlways a personal choice but a B850 in the $150 (600zl?) region should be a good starting point. Avoid ASrock for X3D chips.>RAMCheapest 2x16GB 6000-30-36-36 you can find. Try not to cry.>SSD2TB PCIe4 HMB. Again go by price.>Card5070Ti is probably the best you can afford with this budget. The 5080 isn't a big step up but could be viable depending on local markets. A used 4090 might be possible at the upper range of your budget>CaseAgain a more personal choice. Obviously you'll want a full mesh front but the aesthetics are up to you.>PSU750W/850W ATX3.1 Gold+ efficiency.

Bought the cheapest cl30 ram that showed up on amazon due to fomo. Turns out its cl28 6000 at 1.4v and may be dual rank 2x16gb (didn't even know that existed below 2x32). Hope my motherboard and cpu can handle it.
>>107111067What is there to handle, you got lucky you bastard.
2nd monitor on the left or the right /pcbg/? For me it's gotta be right, even though my dominant eye is my left one it still feels more natural on the right
>>107111045NTA, what in the actual fuck? RAM prices have doubled?
>>107111067I got cl36 for cheaper because this whole thing is a joke
>>107111067AFAIK nobody makes 8Gb DDR5 ICs so dual rank is highly unlikely. It wouldn't even be desirable if it were tbf.
>>107111082Yup. Allegedly the big 3 are reducing output in favour of HBM for datacentre cards.
>>107111094That's what I thought so as well.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/klevv-fit-v-ddr5-6000-32-gb-cl32/3.htmlBut apparently they exist.
M.2 PCIe 5.0 X2 or M.2 PCIe 4.0 X4?
>>107111169It doesn't matter for consumer client use. Pick whatever is cheapest.
>>107111094Those exist. They can firmware lock 16gbit modules to 8gbit enabled
>>107110888Im a pcpartpicker monkey and since poland isn't there can't really give you a concrete list but >>107111045that list of recommendations is solid to use when checking with your retailers.If you can order from amazon (germany?) could give you a more concise list, but if you follow that post you can't go wrong.
I have a 6600xt and looking to buy a used gpu for an upgrade with around $300 or so budget. And I've been eyeing a 10gb 3080 for gaming and blender. Would that be a good enough upgrade?Also stuck with a 5600g cpu
Got this before the price hikes in Romania. While it was shipping, the prices started rising
>>107111292it'd be an OK upgrade but used 3080's are 5y old now and its a bit risky from age perspective + its not great perf per watt unit compared to tsmc 4nm gpusId look at used 4070 type gpus, new 5070 for a decent upgrade that will work for the future, $300 is absolute low end for todays gpu market and doesnt buy you anything good.
>>107111323Buyfags keep winning
>>107111023>>107110943RTX HDR requires Windows HDR to be on. Its converts SDR 8bit to 10bit. It's a hack for Nvidia because they suck at real HDR compared to Intel or AMD. Not everyone talks about it because real HDR isnt for poorfags you need at minimum a $600 display and fags here don't want to spend more than $200-300 on their 1440p shit.
>>107111330I'll buyfag some more on black friday (this week here), it's the last good time to build a pc before the ram shortage also affects gpus and ssds
>>107109613You stupid? Nvidia has garbage HDR compared to AMD.
>>107111345Can it expand gamut of any desktop application or just video player using hardware decoder and overlay?
>>107111357how so
>>107111292For $300 that is the best you are going to get
>Prices of RAM are all rising.>Most shit is out of stock.>Best deal I can find is £250 for 96GB (2x48) of Corsair Vengeance.Whatever, fuck it.
>>107111324>>107111368I'm pretty close to affording the 3080, and anything else is gonna take me at least half a year at best with my budget so I might settle with the 3080 and just sell it later on if my money situation gets better >>107111376What even happened with ram for it to skyrocket? Are we in some sort of drought similar to the COVID era when gpu's were stupid expensive?
>>107111364he's making it up, HDR sucks on windows period on either vendor and needs software to make up for it, but RTX HDR generally does a better job than AMDs solution
Yeah Nvidia HDR is broken on Linux and Windows and doesn't even support Mac.....>>107111359It's just a desktop filter like Reshade/MadVR that does color hacks.>>107111364Nvidia drivers spazz the fuck out in multiple HDR scenarios. Sometimes it's fine for games, other times it's broken as shit like not working unless in exclusive fullscreen (which isn't a thing in DX12 games) or you fuck up your media player you don't need to these on AMD.
>>107111399the ram cartel did the same thing about 7? years ago, 16 GB of ram was $200 or something
>on Linux and Windowsi can spot nicotroon anywhere
what are the rules for combining ram sticks?is it fine as long they're the same frequency and CL or does brand play a difference?
>>107111345AMD doesn't have a graphics card powerful enough to adequately support the top HDR monitors
I've bought all components except the GPU and CPU. Will prices of those increase? Looking for 9800X3D and 5090 or 5070Ti (or possibly waiting for 5070 Ti Super)
>>107111400>>107111427No you're making shit up stupid fuck. It's widely known that Nvidia has broken drivers and fucked up HDR. Their new display controller fucked up everything since Blackwell. Nobody is buying Ada in 2025 or talking about last 1-5+ years ago drivers it's all about today's date post your HDR signal on your display with today's date 11/5/2025.>>107111364>>107111420>>107111433Nvidia drivers are broken you old as fuck donkeys where have you been https://youtu.be/NTXoUsdSAnAStill not fixed you can't post fix (which is switch out Nvidia GPU)
>>107111421If you want to push all the limits of your system sometimes even same brand sticks with same brand chips from different revisions / factories will be your bottleneck
attempting to use HDR on a 9070XT is fucking horrific, every game looks insanely washed out and ugly and half the time it blacksceensswitched to a 5070ti and it runs and looks much better
>>107111444>nicotroon instantly outs himself by linking to the same video and sperging LOL

>>107111364Nvidia drivers shit the bed at HDR don't listen to others its the reason I got rid of my 5080 can't power my LG C1 properly
nicotroons problem is that he's too much of a sperg, he can't stop himself from spamming and instantly outing himself, very sad loser
yeah i don't believe anyone here has a HDR monitor and I don't believe anyone buys HDR monitors TVs sure monitors never
>>107111449>>107111457>every game looks insanely washed out and uglyThat's supposedly "correct" SRGB mapping for SDR content on HDR display.Because back in1996 HP and Microsoft said picrel "ought to be enough for anybody">and half the time it blacksceensDisable MPO and blame once again blame MS
>>107111470See, your colors looked all fucked up. Grey is supposed to be grey like OLED grey not dithered black.
>>107109380>gamingany x3d cpus>budget-F intel or 7500F>workstationused xeon from chink fixed that for you
>>107111494every HDR screenshot is fucked up because HDR compensation isn't perfect, you'd know this if you had an HDR monitor
>>107111470Anon your image is overexposed as fuck Nvidia can't into proper HDR.>>107111488See that niggas image up there that's wrong HDR.
>>107111509Real Proper HDR isn't supposed to distort colors to the point dithering which your image is doing. That's what you call "compressing colors". Or Nvidias dogshit HDR implementation. It looks wrong at all times. Just like Nvidia drivers are broken and wrong at tweaks.
>>107111506You're acting like games don't turn on with normal cpus.
>>107111509nvidia app and microsoft game bar both take jxr screenshots in hdr modethey look fine when viewed in photos app on hdr display
Lmao people gloating about owning broken Windows Nvidia software and wrong calibrated display
>>107111421As identical as possible. You can get away with some mixing. But, if you're using mixed frequencies, it'll run at the lowest frequency (Or only at 4800MHz) and I think with latency it'll run at the highest latency. Or some "Safe" setting. Or else be unstable.Generally just get the exact same fucking kit and don't mix it, it's not worth the hassle.
>>107111531buy 5700x3d in that caseor just dont games at all?
>>107111364The HDR on Nvidia literally looks wrong and stupid. For real HDR look at Steam Deck OLED or PS5 both use AMD.
>>107111488So can we like make the R, G, & Bs of RGB more R(er), G(er), and B(er) than back in the 90s now?
>>107111549steam deck OLED looks worse than my NVIDIA PC HDR
>>107111549>STEAM DECK>good visualslol AMDrones are demented
The HAF has arrived by courier this morning, this case is ABSOLUTELY HUGE.
>>107111577Nostalgia of my 10 year old HAF X build unlocked
>>107111399Ram orders are overbooked until the end of 2026 and ram vendors are raising prices in anticipation of a shortage
this is like the "radeon colors are better" debunked cope
>>107109722What? Instead of new fabs, we get this gay ass shit? Micron too?
>>107111548>buy $300 cpu that's slower than $150 cpusSure buddy
>>107111606>radeon colors are betterNow hold on, I remember one time my 290X outputting 10bpc color while my xx60 would only do 8bpc, there might have been something to that at one point no?
>>107111565Yes most modern consumer displays are somewhere between ARGB and P3 thus they can display more intense, more saturated colors than 1996 "typical home and office viewing conditions" meaning bottom of the barrel consumer TVs which were the basis for SRGB.Using clamped SRGB makes sense for content that was specifically produced FOR SRGB. That's why old movies can look unnatural on new TVs.But for software, websites, anime, games etc there is no photorealistic baseline and most of the time washed out colors feel subjectively worse than full gamut.
>>107111622maybe 15 years ago but they act completely the same now, it's just a schizophrenic asspull because radeon loses on real performance and real features
>>107111606its never been debunkedamd has better colors
>>107111634AMD has worse colors, worse HDR, worse performance, worse productivity performance, worse sales, worse market share, worse human beings using their products
>>107111589It should be a used 932 Advanced in this box. I have never seen a full tower before somehow, so this will be interesting before I decide whether to paint it or mod it.
>>107111650Worse brand name too "Radeon" imagine naming your product after Radon/Radium decay which causes cancer lolGeForce destroys it easily
>>107111626>But for software, websites, anime, games etc there is no photorealistic baseline and most of the time washed out colors feel subjectively worse than full gamut.Oh I see. What about game and anime that were made back in the sRGB-era and get remastered now. Are the colors just locked-in to what they were then, or does the newer colorspace standards available make them any better?
>>107111665POOdeon POODNA is literally designed in india LOL
>>107111143>>107111229That is damned weird. Maybe it's like when Micron downsampled 16Gb Rev. B to 8Gb for their Ballistix Max kits.
i see the president has equipped his daughter with ballistix
>>107111668SDR content by itself merely exists as abstract 0-255 scale and it's up to hardware manufacturers and end users (meaning both content creators and consumers) to communicate what should be the correct absolute color mapping and set it manually.Certain SDR applications like photo editors can provide alternative color mapping data to OS but most just default to SRGB.
