what is the best PCVR headset on the market right now? cost is not a factor

I'm making an AM5 build for my dad. He does not play video games, so can I skip the dedicated GPU completely?

any recs for a cheap microatx case that comes with case fans (dont care how loud they are) and can hold a 156mm cooler? I just wanna put together a 2nd little shitbox using old parts. no 3.5" or 2.5" bays needed

Found out I've got a massive work contract lined up so I'm feeling okay to spend a bit on myself.

The KTC M27T6 just arrived, and after calibrating it it looks pretty good to me. The viewing angles are shit but I was expecting that, not a deal-breaker.

Idk about that anon but the 27r94 literally has bad gamma shift if you aren’t looking directly at the center of the monitor. If you move a window to the bottom of the screen for example, the colors are completely off and too bright. If you move a window to the top everything is too dark. Same with the sides. Literally unusable,

I decided to finally build my first PC a month ago (my RAM has tripled in price since, perfect timing!) but I have never been much into gaming or followed whatever the fuck is going on in the GPU world. What I knew I wanted was NVIDIA because of the CUDA but didn't want to spend too much money so I bought a RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. I am looking at different reviews and everyone is losing their minds over the 5xxx series for whatever the fuck reason. Maybe price? Anyways, did I do well with my choice? I paid the equivalent of $550 ameribucks.
The rest of the PC is not too shabby, 32GB 6000mt/s Corsair, 2TB 990 pro, Ryzen 5 7600 (not sure why I didn't go for the 9xxx series, I read guides online), a nice Be Quiet! PSU 750W Gold and a decent Be Quiet! CPU cooler. My MB has a USB 3.2 gen 2x2 header. Also netted a 10TB HDD (CMR, 7200RPM)

In a vacuum the 5060ti is a good gpu, especially for something more mixed use in which you know that you need more than 12gb. For just games the 5070 is usually the better buy

50 series had a poor launch because greedy nvidia launched it with basically no stock and so every price was inflated and it also had major driver issues. Naturally every youtuber lost their shit over this. They've matured now and are fine cards. GPUs have come down to normal price levels too, you may have overpaid for it a bit but if that's the best price in your country what else you gonna do

>>107294970
The CPU isn't great but you'll have plenty of upgrade options when you feel like it. And you didn't really have other choice for the GPU at that price point if you want CUDA.
Personally I would have gone for a 7600X3D and a 9070, and penny pinched elsewhere, but that's my personal opinion and pointless advice now. You didn't do bad, if it meets your expectations, enjoy it.

You made me second guess myself or think that hva might be different than va in this regard, but no, va panels should have the same exact problems. Just a quick google search and I saw a Reddit thread with people complaining about it on a different va monitor.

That being said, if you don’t notice it, good. It’s better to not be a noticer especially with monitor tech. The more things you notice the harder it is to find a “good” monitor.

they still have glaring issues on windows and linux
every month is a new hotfix driver
5070ti and below are the only worthwhile cards and only if you can find them discounted from radeon. sometimes you find asus prime or cheap ass model thats same price or lower than top tier amd.

>>107295067
Do the people doing "serious graphics-related work" consider that they're the only ones with a monitor set up to view it?

>>107295093
>they still have glaring issues on windows and linux
What like?

>>107295026
I was eyeing the 5070 Ti but it was $1000. Spent too much money already on some other shit like faster ram and faster nvme. I had to actually cut some of the stuff from the final plan just so I can balance it somehow. Again, games aren't that important for me, my monitor is only 100Hz 1080p. What sucks most of the NVIDIA offerings is the horrible Linux support, but I just couldn't swap CUDA for anything else and AMD don't really seem to have a decent alternative anyways.

>>107295093
Eh, the 5090 also has a place since it has no competition (if you have fuck you money anyway you can replace it when the connector melts).

>>107295095
I don’t think that’s a relevant part of the guys comment. You shouldn’t have such terrible viewing angles that colors look different in different regions of the screen even id you are looking directly at it.

>>107295111
5080's only competition is the 4090.

The reality is is if you want more GPU power than a 5070Ti, your only option is Nvidia right now.

You can spend less money to get a less powerful GPU, and that's great if you don't want the extra power because it'll be far more economically priced with competition from AMD and even Intel. But, you can't buy two B580 and run them in IntelX to make your own 5080.

Obviously the question is then if you actually need as much power as anything above a 5070Ti/9060XT put out, and that's entirely up to the individual.

>>107295145
>Nvidia's 50XX series has matured into decent cards.
>Here's a list of all the fixes they've done to mature them into decent cards.

Uhh... So, they're good cards now?

seeing all those people on overclock mad as fuck they couldn't flash a 800W bios onto their card finally made me understand the mindset of a 5090 owner. They don't need the VRAM and I don't even think they want it to flex or whatever. They just literally do not care if the graphics card explodes.

My final impression of the PC that I build, and not being part of the PC world for more than 25 years, is ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Did everyone lose their minds in the past couple of decades? Did everyone just said FUCK IT? Apparently what has happened was that manufacturers of CPUs and GPUs just threw the towel on the laws of thermodynamics and shifted this responsibility to everyone else but them. "You wanted faster hardware? Here, take it. How do you handle the heat? Not our problem!"
My case is some grotesque monster, sieve looking piece of shit which feels like I've opened a fucking sewer next to my desk. Extremely uncomfortable even with lowest fan settings and my piece of shit CPU is idling at 45C. I am NOT interested in becoming a fluid dynamics engineer just to assemble a simple PC. I paid the money, but what I received was some monstrosity with ZERO thought on comfort and efficiency and from what I understand this is generally accepted as normal. I have fucking arthritis, I can't stand next to a current as if all of my windows in my room are opened! And I've never imagined that a PC would be a consideration for how long it is being turned on because of the electricity bill.

There's a couple of them already out.

Basically they have a "XREME GAM3R" bios setting that disables all the virtualisation on the X3D (And if you have a 995X3D it also shuts off the non-cached cores) in order to reduce power usage and thus allow the CPU to draw more power towards the cached core and overclock "Better".

Ryzen usually idles around those temps but if you haven't filled the slots you could add a couple extra 140s, they'd also lower the noise as if only 1 fan is in there it won't have to spin as fast.

But yeah in general GPU/CPU makers said fuck it, the users can deal with the heat and so we've ended up with cheese graters for cases. But somehow we've also ended up with glass everywhere too.

Never would've guessed. I carefully inspected the plates before mounting and it looked like a good fit, also I already got a PSU and a case from Be Quiet!, figured out the cooler would be a good fit too.

hell no
Most of these companies claim the coolers can all cool 300W easily when really things have become so fragmented that even aftermarket coolers are Intel/AMD specific now. They never say this besides Noctua. Noctua sells their G2 cooler with 3 different offset patterns one for intel/AMD/Mix and that's because not only are the die placements different for intel and AMD, the curves on the internal heatsinks are also different.

maybe I should try 42, 55 became alot more usable at just +14cm distance, but need even more
but most importantly need to move away from VA to an OLED even 60hz is night and day due to the blurfest
144hz might be enough on oled
I just might have hit the screen and caused a dead pixel.... brutal!

The intel 265K would actually now be a pretty good CPU since they discounted it. But you have to buy an overpriced motherboard to go along with it. So AMD is still better value.

>>107296018
everyone but the retarded nigger itt figured that one out

>>107294697
5080 worth it or nah (vs 5070ti)? Also since I want productivity and gaming, I was looking at the 9950x3d. Is it that big of a jump over the 7950x3d or nah? And should I maybe look at the 285k instead?

>>107295637
using a simulated 42" window on 55" at this distance...... yep more usable
the difference is kinda fuck hueg

>>107295780
>Ermmmm actually thermalright has been deboonked by the .001mm and 1°C difference

>>107296033
If your choice is between 5070Ti + 9950X3D or 5080 + 9800X3D, the better option is the 5080.

As for intel stuff. I'd skip this generation.

>>107296033
A 9950X3D beats the 285K (barely) in productivity and is a much better gaming CPU. If you have an AM5 motherboard already it costs the same to jump to a 9950X3D than to buy a 285K plus a motherboard for it.

this $380 3rdgen 1440p QD-OLED looks really enticing. should i do it bros

>>107296073
9950X3D costs $670
ATX B650 board $120
total $790

285K costs $520
ATX Z890 board $210
total $730

60 bucks difference between a much better gaming CPU plus it achieves same in productivity as the 285K.

>>107296033
I'd get a 5070 Ti + 9800X3D and put the change towards a 4K OLED monitor or TV.

>>107296087
>>ATX B650 board $120
lol what
why

>>107296094
That's the beauty of AM5. You don't have to get the best motherboard even for the best CPU's unlike Intel. Though probably better to spend the extra 30 bucks for a B850 board.

>>107296103
>You don't have to get the best motherboard even for the best CPU's unlike Intel
You don't on intel either. With lga 1700 and 1851 you can just buy the cheapest z-board and it'll work fine even with overclocking.

>>107296128
Yeah but the cheapest Z board is still more expensive than a mid priced B board for AMD. That's the difference. With AM5 you can get a mid priced B650 or B850 for a 9950X3D rather than the cheapest X board. Unlike with Intel.

>>107295880
No different in the States.

>>107296145
Fuck I'm going to be stuck at 4800mhz for at least 5 years aren't I? DDR5 was expensive in 2022 when I bought the kit (going to even 5600mhz back then would have doubled the price) Now I'm thinking of upgrading my CPU and Ram. But now it looks like it's going to be just the CPU.

I slapped this together a month or so ago to resell, reusing the mobo, PSU, and 5600 DDR5. My total cost was $1150. Current prices are about $2140. It's insane.

>>107296188
Total cost: $1550

>>107296082
if it's AOCslop worst thing about them is the mandatory 16h pixel refresh which as you know by now, is pure aids

>>107296164
Just another thought- your 4800 will be fine for the hard times now and ahead. Jumping to 6000 is probably like jumping from 120fps to 135-140.

I would consider getting a new GPU NOW NOW NOW if you're planning an upgrade. The ram they use is going to skyrocket higher than DDR5. I see massive shortages soon.

You got enough fans?

32 inch monitors, have such poor options right now

Ok knowledgeable denizens of /g I need your help.

I want to play League of legends again after few years (I know I'm a retard). I was rolling my 15yo pc with 1060 3GB and win7 for good 10+ years and it was doing fine playing LoL but when Riot decided to add Vanguard I dropped the game. I've also learnt that Vanguard can't run on it which now leaves me with a dilemma. I don't want to compromise my pc with this kernel level bullshit so I was thinking about some workarounds. I've ended up with the idea of a dual-boot with my current win7(actually win7 on 128GB SSD and 1TB hard drive for other data) accompanied by win10 on another SSD drive.

Question is will my win7 and HDD get compromised if I run win10 with Vanguard? Assuming this is kernel level malware of sorts. Is there a possibility of reading/writing/deleting data or win10 potentially formatting other drives? Is there any way to make my HDD and win7 drive out of reach for my win10 drive?

From what I've gathered most optimal solution would be to physically detach SATA cables (I don't use M2) but I'd like to find something more optimal. Also if Vanguard cant run on win7 is it still able to read files in that drive?

I really appreciate some help here.

>>107296313
How about just get an another cheap PC (since anything can run league) and keep it as a separate machine only for running league.

>>107296313
I know the perfect solution for you anon. install dota2

>>107296283
NEVER ENOUGH FANS! Heat is the ENEMY!

>>107296330
Well I'm currently planning on getting some proper 1440p rig but not at the moment so I wanted to make my current setup viable for league.

>>107296334
Sadly I would still require Steam for it and it doesn't work on win7 anymore, also dota2 is a hard turn after I've spent so much time playing League and switch would be too time consuming.

>>107296313
I would physically disconnect the drive
It is a virus that scans everything
Shit windows 10 will already scan everything itself
And yes windows 10 will have to potential to wipe the other drives too. You can try your luck with fully encrypting the other drive if you want.

honestly the easiest option is a 2nd PC. You can try disabling the sata port in the bios but who knows what happens when the bios one day decides to reenable it for whatever reason

ASUS ROG XG27ACS monitor (1440p 180Hz IPS) discounted to $190 on US Amazon atm.
This is a good stopping point for 1440p IPS. 4K, miniLED, or OLED next.

>>107296313
Get one of these 3.5" and 2.5" HDD enclosure front panels. Then always remove the 3.5" and 2.5" win 7 drives whenever you run the win 10 drives. Honestly best to get an another hot swap front panels so you can easily remove the win 10 ssd whenever you switch back to win 7.

>>107296368
That's what I'm worried about. Physically disconnecting drives seems like a hustle. I was also researching the use of virtual machine with MacOS (since Riot stated that they wont make Vanguard run on it) and playing League from there but again I'm working with an old PC with 8GB of ram which is really low for this endeavour I think. Also I don't know if my usb wifi adapters drivers will work on Mac or are there even any to begin with (again since it's so old). Also having a dedicated pc for LoL is the best idea but then again it takes place and is aa hustle.

5070 or 9700XT?

>>107296404
Is there some more comprehensible method/video on the subject? or maybe some cable with a switch so I can just plug win7 and HDD drive to it and whenever I want to play I just turn my pc off and just switch to win10 ssd?

>>107296277
Firmware is mature (with the mandatory panel refresh cycle increased to 24 hours).
The panel should be similar to the other 3rd-gen 240Hz QD-OLED.
Should have okay factory calibration given other MSI monitors ootb.

$380 isn't a steep price if you're on the fence about OLEDs.
If you're concerned with burn-in, it's going to happen.
A replacement may be needed after 5-7 years (or longer), depending on how you use it.
Avoid high brightness + static content if you want to extend the usable life of the panel.

Reshade mods like RenoDX let you adjust UI brightness for games.

>>107296458
*9070

>>107296473
>$380 isn't a steep price if you're on the fence about OLEDs.
Adding to that it's a bargain in OLED land

>>107296465
I mean operating those enclosures is very simple. Just open the door and the drive comes right off and switching drives becomes very simple. HDD's and SSD's that aren't hot swappable will require a restart to be detected by a PC. But yeah you can have the 2.5" and 3.5" win 7 drives. The when you want to play league just shut down pc. Take the drives off the enclosure and put the 2.5" Win 10 drive in and play league. And when you switch back do vice versa.

Need to take advantage of the black friday and cyber monday deals. What kind of PC/laptop can I build that will run Alan Wake 2 and other modern games at 1080 60fps?
>Built my last pc in 2014, no idea what has changed since then
>Budget can be whatever if quality justifies it, but lower cost is preferable
Are there any laptops that compare with built PC's? I might have to do a lot of traveling next year and would like a powerful rig to bring with.

>>107296458
5070 if you're on Windows, it overclocks very well.

>>107296567
Are you wanting to use Path Tracing in Alan Wake 2?

PCPartPicker is still showing a lot of 32gb DDR5 ram under $300. Some is even CL30. If you plan on building in the next year, I HIGHLY suggest you buy NOW.

>>107296567
laptops arent great for new games, they get real expensive real fast

5070 ti is preferable for anything path tracing related, aw2 utilizes pt and so will most new AAA games
32gb ddr5 ram is expensive rn so instead of 80$ its 240$
7800x3d is preferable cpu
some high airflow case like fractal meshify 3
850w atx 3 psu
2tb nvme ssd, b850 am5 mobo, thermalright cpu cooler

stuff like that will cost around 2k $

>>107296587
I think so, I think light is going to be a pretty important focus in the game if its like the first one.

>>107296519
>Are you a Linux goomer?

Nvidia and amd both sell gpu chips to 3rd party vendors who will do stuff like unique cooler designs and selling to different markets and handle the customer support.

The build has no big reason why it wouldnt run a game 10 years from now given you can turn down settings. Nvidia prob gives you driver updates 10 years after the gpus launch as well.

NVIDIA WERE RIGHT AGAIN
INDUSTRY MUST LEARN THE LESSON

Panic upgrade GPU now or nothingburger?
How bad is the price hike going to be?

>>107297162
Depends how old your current GPU is.
I think we're curently at Defcon: If I want a good GPU next year, I'm going to be buying a used 9070XT or 5070Ti/5080.

>>107297176
Last gen
But with everything being sold out until 2027,unless the bubble pops aren't gpus completely fucked?

Well from current rumors just because of DRAM/VRAM chips pricing:

-NVIDIA cancels/delays RTX 50 SUPER series, 3 whole cards
-AMD cancels 9070 GRE release
-NVIDIA/AMD both are rumored to stop production of low end 16GB GPUs (9060XT 16GB/5060ti 16GB)

AMD's board partners already said in public buy now prices are rising next year. Nvidia partners have said 5060TI 16GB stock will be in short supply very soon. So maybe not so bad, maybe very very bad.

>>107297218
If shit don't run well on Last-gen hardware, it's not going to run very well on current gen hardware either way and we're probably 2 years off from a new GPU cycle.

>>107297162
I wouldn't upgrade GPU right now unless you're running a 1070/1660S/2060(non-super)/3050 or similar, or older/less powerful.
If you're running a 1080/Ti, any 20-series that's 2060 Super or better, any 30-series that's 3060 12GB or better, any 40-series no exceptions, or an equivalent AMD, I wouldn't upgrade right now. Especially if your GPU supports DLSS4 Transformer Model. Even more especially if your GPU has 10-12GB VRAM or more along with the DLSS support. A 3080 Ti 12GB isn't far off from a 5070, and a 5070 can run anything at 1440p High with DLSS, and at 144FPS+ with FrameGen.

>>107297162

I was very set on the 27 aqdp like 6 months ago but now idk if 32 inch would be better. shit like marvel rivals doesnt really get to 500 fps, so id get benefit from maybe overwatch and counterstrike with the high refresh 2k or get 240hz 4k and jusy brute force the rest in 1080p 480hz

I can't even tell the difference above 165Hz or so, it's all the same. Even 120 to 165 is subtle in non-FPS games.

>>107297556

On a controller + third person melee action game, there is no difference between 60 and 180 for me... I kind of get why consolefags are content with performance mode being 1080p60 (upscaled to 1440p with FSR). It's pathetic for hardware which presents itself as the premium way to play video games, don't get me wrong, but for the types of games most popular on consoles (Sony first party slop a la GoW) and with wireless controllers it really doesn't fucking matter.

If I have an AM4 motherboard with a dog shit CPU and GPU, is it still worth upgrading to a 5700x/5800x and a 9070xt or 5070ti or something? Or should I just bite the bullet and move to AM5 now?

I'm just looking for the best ratio of money to performance staying at 1440p until the heat death of the universe. I'm fine with jumping from AM4 to AM6 later if that makes sense, I'm just out of touch with current levels of performance and plans for future platforms.

yeah I'd just say upgrade gpu if you need it now since prices are actually pretty decent
What's your CPU/GPU? Having a dogshit GPU will be obviously be worse for 1440p and more necessary to upgrade if it really is that bad

>>107298043

5700x3d and 5800x3d is keeping am4 alive still to this day for a reason

>>107298174
Big uplift, at least in gayming. The 3d cache boosts games hugely. They run cool already, but a -30 undervolt makes them ice-cold. A little tricky to do, but lots of videos on how to set it up.

>>107298174
there should be a small reminder on the op somewhere, a shame its monitored by a certain someone
basically
>zen1/zen+/zen2 into zen 3 is a huge uplift, even more with zen3 3d
i went from a 3600 to a 5700x3d and im so fucking glad i did it at the start of the year

I know that NVME prices will likely spike soon and will stay high for months if not years, but what about SATA ssd's, will they experience a prolonged price hike too?

>>107298186

>>107298197
Cheers lads.
>>107298191
I heard that AM4 x3D runs a bit hot, but a light undervolt could do the trick. Thanks.

>>107298143
patriot
>>107298168
VRAM temp is normal for the 9070 XT
i would run something other than furmark to see how high your hotspot delta is in a real workload
>>107298172
definitely worth considering a used board as well
anecdotally, the TUF Z690 D4 has the same memory topology as the TUF Z790 D4, and i've gotten very good results out of that board

>>107298191
my 5700x3d dont boot at 30 unvolt, my undervolt is done on the bios, it boots at -20, never got around to trying -25

>>107298209
Since they're old tech, expect the price to rise as inventory depletes. Add in the shortages in supplies, and, yeah... buy now.

>>107298213
>I heard that AM4 x3D runs a bit hot, but a light undervolt could do the trick. Thanks.
It really doesn't run hot stock... but I am using a good case with lots of airflow and a 240mm AIO. Under stuff like 3DMark's Time Spy, it hovers around 55°c

>>107298223
hotspot delta is around 30-32 on most games I play

>>107298168
normal for radeon lmaooooo
>nvidia can't even see hotspot data any more lol nvidicucks

>>107298224
My bios doesn't allow much of anything on the 5700x3d. I had to set up a script to run PBO on startup and set a -30. Not optimal, but once set up, I haven't had to touch anything. I guess I got the lucky lottery chip.

>>107298174
A lot
> Considering a Fractal Ridge.
??? why

>>107298213
it runs hotter compared to vanilla zen3 but nothing big compared to other stuff
i have it with a 6 heatpipe air cooler and it runs just fine

my 5700x3d gets max 67c with the thermalright pa assassin 140

>>107298255
idk seems kinda high
mine does 55 edge 75 hotspot 88 memory after a few minutes in furmark
memory is always hot as hell but i've learned to ignore it, it doesn't throttle down or exceed 90 C

>>107298165
2k by the end of the year

there will be prices hikes on everything next year
even stuff that serves no reason for a hike like cpu coolers, fans and cases.. etc
the price gouging will be painful.

>>107298269
>thermalright pa assassin 140
i was just about to ask if that cooler's worth getting that's good enough for me

where did all the "waitgods" go?
to heaven?

>>107298267
Because I'm an itx fag, and the cooler I'm running needs 67mm clearance. Do you have other suggestions for a small form fagtor case?
>>107298268
Yeah, I've a Scythe BigShuriken 4. Should be fine.

i tried itx once but went back to my full tower
no regrets
you can't beat having a big silent box with good airflow

>>107298309
that was the best when I bought it, nowadays I heard the royal pretor 130 ultra was a tiny little bit better

>>107298316
No... no, they went to a place a little warmer. And are paying for the price of their sin.

>>107298316
Currently in stasis and playing the long long long game.

I'm getting at least 128GB of RAM in late 2027, fuck.

>>107298444
I don't think that the average normie consumer knows about the price increases yet.

>>107298316
im good idc about waiting until 2030 to upgrade

>>107298461
I'm willing to sit on it for a month or 2...

I'm waitfagging for DDR6

>>107298242
What about HDDs, are they going to rise in price?

I chickened out of buying 64gb of ddr5 today for $330 because I wouldn't have the rest of my components until after 30 days. It'll hurt to wait but I can't gamble on DOA hardware I couldn't test QQ

Can't you use manufacturer's warranty?

watch them price gouge monitors and peripherals like keyboards/mice next year for no apparent reason

>>107298483
The better the drives, the higher the price. Enterprise-grade HDDs are climbing fast.

>>107298484
You're lucky to get 32gb at that price. Me, I'd buy it now and worst case, sell for profit.

>>107298483
They've been climbing over the past year or two. Not going down any time soon.

>>107298501
Oops! We made panels too cheap! Haha silly us, all OLEDs are now 2000 dollars.

>>107298540
"Hi! We have GREAT cards coming. No pricing, but trust us, buy more and save more! Look at my jacket!"

>>107298484
If you need it, just do it. RAM is very rarely DOA, and also tends to have hueg warranty times, like lifetime or 10 years.

>>107298543
I just wonder if anything they announce will even be released. I doubt they'll put a price on anything

i wanted to build a new pc, but i feel that i've aged out of 98% of games as i've grown up. there really does come a point where nothing is going to interest you anymore.

>>107298565
It's not as though modern gaming is overly inspiring or in a great place.

I swear the people buying 5090s the most right now are ones with a 5080 lol

>>107298550
Isn't it rumored that Nvidia cancelled the 50 Super series entirely? I doubt the 60 series is ready.

>>107298584
Vera Rubin supposedly launches 2H26 so 2027 they should be out

>>107298584
cancelled is a strong word
i would say suspended until further notice is more accurate
anyone waiting for supers deserves a rope anyway

>>107298584
They never officially announced them, but rumor has it they're pushed back to Q3, 2026.

>>107298584
Right, supers might be cancelled, or might just be delayed. Not sure even Nvidia knows rn.

I should be holding a 5070 Super 18G now

>>107298565
same
but thinking of buying a proper high refresh 4k oled monitor now and just sticking to older games.

>>107298610
oh yeah that part is key
parters were asking for super specs and nvidia said something like
>we cant release something we didnt annnounce yet :^)))))

so, let's talk 9070 and xt
xt stock: 315w tlou2fps 98
xt -30% pl: 222w tlou2fps 94
9070 stock: 243w tlou2fps 94
9070 -30% pl: 171w tlou2fps 88
rdna4 has pretty crazy efficiency, it's just one guy tests but it's consistent with other examples
or you can say that the cards are inefficient and should stick to low wattage, I know efficiency is not what people care about when buy gpus, but I think the 9070 might be the best deal out of the 2 cards

>>107298598

Last Sunday- 32gb DDR5, bought for $200. Today, $400.

>>107298813
I bought last week and it doubled and I was already overpaying by like 70%

>>107298213
Get a decent 6 or 7 pipe cooler. Undervolting is iffy and alot of peoples' are likely clock stretching. Recently updated my bios to AGESA ComboV2 1.2.0.F and my old indervolt was no longer stable. So I ran cinebench 3 times and consistently scored higher than my old undervolt did w/ AGESA V2 1.2.0.B. Tried undervolting again, but kept getting worse scores than stock voltage. So the stock setting may be best finally in at least some cases.

why don't they just make more ram
is this a case of patent jews not allowing people to make them?

>>107297963
I think there's a good chance that AM4 cpus will now rise too as people realize that upgrading to am5 is infeasible

>>107298895
The jews need it all to spy on us

>>107298895
theres like 3 companies who can make RAM in the world and they can't meet demand

Almost got a build together, going with a 360 AIO cooler for the 9800X3D
Any suggestions on this please? Ive heard so much about the Liquid Freezer 3 Pro, but then Ive heard its apparently bad?
Any suggestions would be appreciated anons.
Cheers.

>>107298895
All orders for 2026 from Samsung, Micron, and Hynix are FULL. They are at full capacity and almost all of it is going to AI data centers.

>>107298895
it takes a while to spin out new production lines.
Doesn't help that around 1 year all 3 manufacturers decided "independently" decided to reduce production because prices are too low for their liking

>>107298908
I'm running a 9800x3d with a 360mm Corsair AIO and probably overpaid. But it works well. On a 14600K build, I have a ID Cooling FX360 that was like $55 and it works fine. And the 1400K runs quite a bit hotter.

>>107298885
Meant

There needs to be more laws against anti consumer shit
selling stuff for AIs use should have heftier taxes

Reddit shits on it for some reason, maybe a marketing guy didn't say something nice about trans rights. I have the Liquid Freezer 3 Pro on my 9800X3D and it's been great.

It won't matter much for daily use; it will just run a bit hotter in full load stress tests.
