NVIDIA HATERS LITERALLY IN SHAMBLES

So even after reading that PSU buying guide I'm a little confused about 12vhpwr/12v-6x2. If I have a non-ATX 3.x PSU, can I safely run the housefire cable so long as it is the one terminated in 2x 8-pin and not using some adapter? And that 3.x is only necessary if you want the native female connector on the PSU side (in which case you get a 3.1 with the updated female connector)? My current PSU is below. Would like to avoid replacing it if possible since I love this little nigga like you wouldn't believe but I also don't want to burn my house down over 150-200 bucks on a new purchase.

Honestly 8GB VRAM is perfectly acceptable for a tiny ass cube which will sell for like 500 bucks. You can barely get a GPU with more VRAM for 500 bucks, let alone build a whole PC.

It's even worse if you want high-end. I spent weeks getting caught back up on monitor tech and every single monitor has some sort of niche drawback. Finally find one that ticks just about every box (FO27Q5P) and apparently it missed its NA release date for months now and is only readily available in China and some parts of EU with absolute radio silence from Gigabyte NA.

You don't have to replace that PSU.
Get a 2x PCIe 8-pin to 12V-2x6 cable that is confirmed to work safely with SeaSonic PSUs.
If you ask SeaSonic customer service about this, they will recommend Cablemod cables if official SeaSonic cables aren't readily supplied in your region (I asked).
Cablemod's cables are fine; it was their adapters that caused the mess.

This is the one I got for my SeaSonic PSU. 2x 8-pin is enough to safely supply the maximum rated 600W.

There are two 90° plug variants, you choose based on your card's 12V connector orientation & how you want to set the cables (over/under the card)

Only thing you really need to worry about with ultrawide is if the resolution is supported by the application. Curved or uncurved is preference really but from what I have seen you'll probably have a harder time finding uncurved monitors the higher-end you go. imo, uncurved is somewhat superior for productivity if you have multiple windows up at once but for flight sims you'll probably benefit more from curved.

I borrowed a curved monitor in the past from a mate and it gave me a headache, does that go away if you get it ultrawide?

Doesn't really matter. If you need to wait but are impatient you can go case, psu, motherboard, ram, CPU, cooler, GPU, fans, other shit you might want, and you'll have a working PC by the time you get your GPU. Black Friday/cyber Monday is coming up and you might find a good deal for a GPU

Reset you bios by unplugging the power cord and removing the cmos battery for a couple min.

8700K, Z370-H Gaming, previously a broken 1080ti that would cause the PC to not start, replaced with a 970 that does let it start. It started without the GPU as well, but still "no signal". The monitors recognize they're being connected to the GPU and turn on from standby, but it gives " no signal" message. On the MOBO the only LED I see turned on is the Standby Power LED. The AIO cooler LED turns on as well. All fans spin. Genuinely what could it be?

>I heard anything with memory was feared to go up, like GPUs
Normies buy more SSDs & RAM than discrete gaming GPUs.
Most of the gaming cards aren't a good value for money for people needing a GPU for AI training/inference.
Video card prices will rise next year when GPU designers have to source memory chips at a higher cost.

NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel buy GDDR chips in bulk and sell them to video card manufacturers in their GPU bill of materials.

If you're in the US with a Costco membership, their online store is set to sell an MSI QD-OLED monitor for under $400.
But I'm guessing this will instantly sell out.
https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/107039150/#107046910

That monitor has last year's Samsung Display QD-OLED panel, which is still used in the majority of new QD-OLED monitors.
There are maybe 1~2 new 1440p QD-OLED monitors that are using a revised version of that panel with a TB500 rating.

8GB has always been enough vram. I have a 7900XTX and most games don't go over 10 on max settings. High VRAM only matters at this point for llm

my current rig is a 3070, 96gb ram (got a cheap sale), i9 12900k. and while the current rig is good some processes are slower than I'd like. can any knowledgeable anon tell me if i should return the 5070 and pay $225 more for the 5070ti or should i just stick with the good deal i got for a normal 5070? i doubt the 5070ti will go down in price much and from what i see online its only a 10-18% difference. i only game at 1080p and have no interest in going to 4k or 8k. sorry but i just think those are a meme.

I'd rather buy a used 480hz from someone upgrading to the new 540hz than that old 240hz panel.

There's no reason to go above a 5070 for 1080p, even the 5070 itself is a 1440p+DLSS GPU. For native 1080p vs 1440p DLLSS Quality (960p) you just need to turn, I dunno, shadows from ultra to high for example, to make up the FPS loss.

For Blender, lookup videos that display render times for the benchmark demo scenes Blender releases.
Here's a video testing the 5070: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfyVdb63RBE
Here's a video testing the 5070ti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5JHqYGZK60

The 5070 renders the classroom benchmark scene in about 13.3 seconds, the 5070ti renders the same scene in 10.8 seconds. So the 5070ti is about ~18.5% faster. So if something were to take 10 hours to render on a 5070, it'd now take about 8 hours and 10-ish minutes to render. At that scale, it's not really a big enough difference. The only reason to upgrade to a 5070ti is if you're running out of VRAM and you need more than 12gb to render a scene. But even then, you can get around that with render layers (and you should be using render layers anyways so you have more control over how you composite the whole scene together). Personally I don't think it's worth upgrading the GPU from a 5070 to a 5070ti for Blender purpose specifically.

>>107195588
I would guess from quick googling that more vram actually helps your workflow much more significantly than the computing power difference

>>107195424
So it started yesterday. My computer (then with the 1080ti) randomly shut off. I tried turning it on again, but all I got was a short click and split second flash on the LED light of the AIO cooler over the CPU before it all turned off. I tried removing the 1080ti and it turned on. I tried several HDMI cables to two monitors. No video output. I tried reseting CMOS several times. I took out the battery, I shorted CLTRL, I held down the power button to drain the power with the power cable plugged out several several times. Nothing.
Today I bought a 970. I checked with the previous owner. It displayed video output just fine on his computer. I took it home. I put it in. Unlike my 1080ti, my computer actually booted with the 970. I tried displayport, hdmi, vga on both monitors. No signal. This despite the monitor recognizing it's plugged into the GPU because it goes from resting in standby mode to turning on, but still "no signal". All fans spin, the MOBO lights up, the cooler lights up, the GPU lights up. The only warning LED is the Standby Power LED. I'm genuinely stumped. Can I do the Asus EZ Flash 3 without seeing the BIOS itself? That's my problem.

ive seen similar results from my googling. sure the little boost in rendering time is good, but personally i dont see that as a justification to spend 200 bucks more. i just see many people talk about vram this and that 16gb is better for future game titles, but i dont really play many new games aside from red dead. so the extra 4gb of vram might be good for ble mnder and when i do go to 1440p monitor it may help a little to have a 5070ti but i dont know it seems like only a small boost.

>>107195600
>more vram actually helps your workflow much more significantly than the computing power difference
Mostly, sort of. If a scene requires 13gb of VRAM to render, and you only have 12, it doesn't matter how fast your GPU is, it'll render the scene incredibly slowly. But if you only need 11gb to render the scene, then the speed of the card will increase performance. I believe that practically, in the industry, VRAM is a much bigger bottleneck than speed. But like I said, there's ways to sort of circumvent VRAM limitations by just limiting how much of a scene you're rendering at a time. For Blender specifically, if a scene requires 13gb of VRAM and you only have 12, I think the file just crashes when you try to open it.

So if you find your Blender files frequently hit the 12gb limit your card has, then upgrading could be worth it. But if you're clever with how you put together your scene files then I think 12gb is good enough for at least another few years (for hobbyist animations).

First, I would make sure your monitor works in the first place. Plug it in to a different PC/console/or w/e has HDMI/DP output.
It sounds like you assumed the monitor was working but haven't actually tested it and jumped into it being a PC component problem. Best to just check.

>>107195370
https://christitus.com/windows-tool/

>>107195673
I checked just now. The monitor connects to my Switch via the same HDMI cable just fine. It's not the monitor sadly.

>>107195602
i thought ez flash was like the other utilities that let you update the bios off a usb but it's not.
I guess you want to use the CrashFree BIOS 3 feature.

It really sounds like the mobo died if it won't display the igpu with no dedicated gpu installed on it after you reset the bios.

>>107195706
So:
Monitor - Good
GPU - Good
Motherboard lights up? No debug lights? No beep codes?

Alright maybe there's a deal from my bank coming up so I gotta think.
A 5070 oc or 9070 xt oc for 65 dollars more? The 9070xt is prob overkill for a 1440p monitor and 750w PSU. Dunno if it might be worth it anyway. Guess I could always upgrade the PSU later if needed

>>107195724
I'll give it a try. I couldn't find any compatability for the Z370-H Gaming any sort of BIOS recovery tool but it can't hurt to try at this point.

>>107195731
Motherboard lights up. No debug light. No beep code. The only light on the MOBO is the SB_PWR_LED, which should just be that it gets power?

>>107195803
What is the full price of the 9070 XT? Near $600?
I'd get the 9070 XT in that case, 750W PSU is fine.
You can undervolt + OC these cards to make them run more power efficiently while retaining stock performance (unless you lose the silicon lottery).

>>107195298
no they increase prices this half of the year. the prices are low from june to now. should've bought last month if you wanted something.

>>107195812
What motherboard? Let me look at the manual.
Also have you tried power cycling?
Turn off the PSU, unplug the PSU, then turn the PSU back on, then hold the power button of your PC for more than 10 seconds. That should flush out all power from the system.

Did you mess with the RAM? Remove one stick and see if it works.

Also remove the GPU, don't plug it in at all until you manage to post using the iGPU.

>>107195875
Asus ROG Strix Z370-H Gaming. I've tried removing the clock battery, shorting the CLTRC pins with a screwdriver, and pressing down the power button with the PSU unplugged. I've tried removing all 4 RAM sticks and using just one individual one at all different locations. Still no signal. It turns on but no video signal.

>>107195909
Did you try installing the card in the other PCIe slots? If the PC still can't send a working display signal, your motherboard is probably broken.

>>107195909
Unplug everything. Monitor, RAM, keyboard and mouse.
Does it beep? Because it's supposed to. If it doesn't been you have a dead motherboard. You most likely shorted something out when replacing your GPU.

>>107195951
I tried using the PCIEX8 slot which as far as I know have never been used before. Same problem. Everything turns on. All the fans spin. GPU fans too. GPU lights up. It's clearly on, but no video signal.

I might be tempted by that Steam Machine thing if it can run Windows with decent drivers.

If I get a gaming PC then I would want to be able to play those Windows-only games.

Maybe the launch units will be relatively affordable.
It's targeting entry-level gaming PC prices (costlier than consoles).

>>107195838
What is the full price of the 9070 XT? Near $600?
Yep. It's 650 but since i'm not in the US getting just a 10% or less price increase due to import is good enough but with the bank deal it reaches 590
I wasn't too sure about undervolting but apparently it's actually super good so i guess there's no reason not to. Hopefully I don't get unlucky

I can't wait for the black friday sales
all those GPUs at MSRP
What a deal!

>>107196047
When you turn it on, does it turn back off or not?
Because if the motherboard knows that there's no RAM then I'm not 100% sure it's a dead motherboard now.

Not to be alarmist but every single Asus Prime 5070 5070ti and 5080 is out of stock in my country now

>>107196085
It does not turn back off. It stays on but the debug light remains on too. It does seem aware that there's no RAM, but I heard no beeps.

>>107196107
The last step you can take is to find a cheap/loaner CPU with iGPU in working condition that is compatible with your board.

>>107196107
Plug back one RAM stick. If it still doesn't post you have a dead motherboard or CPU. Most likely a dead motherboard though.

This is because it's just a mini PC, there's nothing to stop people companies buying it and not using it for steam or any gaming at all lol
That'd piss off google too if a school switched their entire infrastructure over to dirt cheap steam machines. Fat chance of that happening now, those things are gonna be like $1000.

looking for an mATX case that can fit in a fat gpu AND supply it with enough air. My possible candidates are the Lian Li DAN A3 mATX and the NZXT H3 Flow but im wondering if any of you have a better suggestion or recommendation, the target GPU is the fat brick that is the 9070XT

Also is this even viable without water cooling? I mean GPU's have gotten so big it feels like aircooling is dead for anything below ATX

it will be cheaper than DIY for the same performance, mass produced computers always are. the question is if the price/performance is compelling or not especially when 9/10 top MP games do not work on it without installing windows which its target audience lacks the money & competency to do

> For example, in the x86 architecture, asserting the RESET line halts the CPU; this is done after the system is switched on and before the power supply has asserted "power good" to indicate that it is ready to supply stable voltages at sufficient power levels.[2] Reset places less stress on the hardware than power cycling, as the power is not removed. Many computers, especially older models, have user accessible "reset" buttons that assert the reset line to facilitate a system reboot in a way that cannot be trapped (i.e. prevented) by the operating system, or holding a combination of buttons on some mobile devices.[3][4] Devices may not have a dedicated Reset button, but have the user hold the power button to cut power, which the user can then turn the computer back on.

So they stop the CPU.

Using the Reset button is probably not good for SSDs unless you absolutely have to.

Got the new Asus PG32UCDMR model for $999. Only difference is more anti-burn-in, the proximity sensor and DP 2.1.

>>107197586
reset is a hot reboot
It's not so bad for the SSDs as it might be for the file system, SSDs stay powered

>>107197593
It's a $1300 monitor, and 4K Tandem OLED + TrueBlack glossy monitors are MIA.
I guess you did okay considering that reality (and you didn't want OLED TVs or already have one)

Look up how the Xbox 360 reset glitch hack works. They reset the CPU so many times that the hypervisor can't load meaning the security is down.

>>107196163
Yes, it's a great monitor if you have the GPU to handle it. Colors look vivid, great HDR and the refresh rate make it butter smooth. There's some blooming when you have black screens with something going on, but it's very acceptable if you optimise the settings. I'd say it's MUCH better than any lcd screen, and it isn't that far off from an OLED. I'd recommend getting it if you have a 5070 Ti at least (mine handles the monitor flawlessly)

I'm still alive, got it running but I've been busy irl and the free time I do have I'm trying to figure out the technicalities of it. Windows 11 is weird. I finally got everything moved over from the old computer and most of my programs and settings how I want them.
Just have to figure out undervolting, over clocking and stress testing then I can actually start gaming. Also still finalizing my setup, got some fancy led lights and some other things. Once it looks all nice I'll post some before and after pics, you'll get a kick out of my old pc.
>>107197856
That was me too, it was that performance mode nvidia setting. Once I turned it to normal everything went down. Maybe it's useful when I'm actually playing games I dunno will have to mess with it some more.

While shopping around for GPUs I saw a post on reddit the other day about how redstone soon would make the 9070XT practically equal to the 5070ti and it sounded so cope-y and desperate it actually helped my decision.

>>107197335
On one level, I think RT is often an out for devs who don't want to put money and effort into lighting.

On the other hand, RT looks really good and pretending it doesn't outs you for the poor AMD coper that you are.
