I dont know any operating system in which nvidia doesn't work. Granted I'm not allknowing.
If you mean GNU/Linux, then you're wrong because nvidia works pretty well on Linux nowadays. I've been using a 4070 super for over a year now on Arch with proprietary drivers, and, while it's not at feature parity with windows (looking at you DLDSR), it doesn't bring me any major issues or headaches.

Is the 9070xt actually more power efficient than the 5070ti when you undervolt it? I feel like they cranked it way too far to get as close as possible to the 5070ti for marketing purposes.

>Is it your first OLED?
First OLED monitor, I am expecting the colors to blow me away compared to this cheap ASUS 1440p IPS

I really wanted a 4k OLED but the prices on them are insane for anything with DP 2.1, and then that makes me paranoid about burn in.
>>
>>107316865
>Is the 9070xt actually more power efficient than the 5070ti when you undervolt it?
No, the 5070ti is significantly more power efficient. If you pay for your own electricity, you should get the 5070Ti. Even undervolted, the 9070xt is barely below the 5070Ti, while undervolting the 5070ti is like 30W less.

>>107316873
4K is nice at 32" but it's kind of waste at 27" anyway, 1440p still looks good at 1440p. Plus in motion, you'll notice the colors on the OLED more than resolution of a larger monitor. Enjoy, make sure you use HDR whenever possible, RenoDX and RTX HDR are much better than Windows Auto HDR for games with bad or no implementation.
>>
>>107316893
>220W
>5070ti is 220W at stock and can comfortably go down to 190W with no loss
Grim, some can even go lower but 190W is like the minimum for a 5070Ti undervolt.

Hello my friends. I am putting together a pc for a friends grandkid. My intention is to use parts from my PC and then charge him the price of the parts from my PC to upgrade my shit.

Since RAM is insane right now I'm going to take 16GB of DDR5 out of my build. (Down to 48)

I'm also going to take my 6700XT out and put that in his build. My plan is to upgrade my GPU with the "labor" costs it cost me to put together this PC.

Any tips for keeping this build under 1000 dollars on my part? I have a microcenter near me. Thanks. -HH

theres the cartels, samsung/sk hynix/micron who manage supply so the prices dont go down

>>107317344
AI data centers, ALL orders for 2026 DRAM are full with no more capacity for everyone else.

>>
>>107317424
he can
>>
>>107317424
It will. But not through anything OpenAI, Nvidia, chip makers, or other big baller companies do. The AI bubble will burst when all the smaller companies that went all in on AI realize it won't solve all their problems and make them Fortune 500 companies. They'll be wiped out, the big boys will be left with AI data centers full of expensive hardware that no one can afford time on anymore and they'll write it off as a quarterly loss.

And none of that server ram will be of any use to the consumer market.

tl;dr: We're fucked for years to come.

I also wanted DP 2.1 and they really make you pay for that. If you do end up biting the bullet, make sure to order a VESA certified 2m cable as well unless you keep your case right next to your monitor.
>>
>>107317447
it is a bubble because it expects the tech to be far more valuable and hard to replicate than it is, the chinks will create similar level AIs and release them open source and that will burst the bubble because even if the technology is useful, it's not valuable/profitable at the level the capex demands it to be

I'm considering getting this case for a high end AMD cpu and 5000 series gpu. According to reviews it's pretty good, but I was wondering about the dust filtering. It appears there's a removable dust filter on the top and bottom but no mention of a removable frontal dust filter.

From the pictures it appears there's a mesh on the front of some kind, just not removable. Is this case decent enough at filtering dust from the front? Is that just fine if I vacuum the front from time to time?

Hi retard here,
a few years back I got a prebuilt to game with the boys, I'm getting a bit of fuck around money and I'd like to upgrade, but as stated before i'm retarded and reading the stats on GPUs and CPUs are just meaningless numbers to me and my eyes glaze over.

what i've got currently: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RQspyW
Budget: 800-1100 bucks
Country: US of A
Use case: Id like to be able to run Space Marine 2 comfortably, I also play GW2 (an mmo) and it loads/looks like shit and Id like to improve that experience
main questions) What would be some good CPU and GPU choices, do I need to base my GPU choice off of my CPU or are they all pretty much compatible?
secondary question) is any of my current shit salvageable? I figure the power supply depends on the final builds power requirements, but maybe the ram is saveable?
>>
>>107317526
Looks as cheap as it gets.
>>
>>107316383
Since ram is so expensive now, is it worth looking at a prebuilt (used or new) especially if you are looking at cheaper builds?
>>
>>107318303
if you're desperate maybe
if not you could just not upgrade your ram for the next 1-2 years
>>
>>107318291
I don't mind spending a bit more for a better case, but this was highly recommended on tomshardware. If you have a better case in mind i would like to hear about it.
>>
>>107317892
Unbox everything beforehand. Have the instructions ready (on phone as well) and rebox all the crap you won't need.
A small flashlight can help.
>>
>>107318303
If you can catch a prebuilt that was made not too recently and hasn't been "upgraded" in price, you might find a deal. Used, shop around. There's sellers that don't realize there's gold inside the PC case they're selling.
>>
>>107318181

Here's a proposed list, it's best to reuse the 2x 8GB 3000MT/s memory sticks you have given the crazy pricing situation.
You could get a cheaper monitor as well, 310Hz is overkill.
This case is pretty small in terms of room for future components (315mm maximum GPU clearance), but it's good value (4 bundled fans).

"/pcbg/ anons could be here," he thought, "Come to take my RAM. They could be ANYWHERE." The glare from the street lights bathed his weathered features. "I HATE /PCBG/ ANONS," he thought.

Has any AIO manufacturer tried connecting their tubes to the center of the radiator or in some way try to spread out the liquid equally before they contact the fins? A number of AIO tests seem to suggest 420s are inefficient for their size and don't offer much over a 360. And then 280s are often competitive with 360s, so could that be due to the shorter length of the device and thus more even spread of heat over the fins?
>>
>>107318805
Better airflow with new fans, but no mesh nylon filter.
You will have to take the case out and clean out the dust every 2~3 months.
Check the case dimensions for GPU compatibility.

Not that anon but I went from a Meshify C to a Meshify 3. Be aware it doesn't come with a rear fan so I had to transplant one from my old case. The front panel doesn't include any sort of filter apart from the front metal grill so dust finds its way inside very quickly. I also couldn't find a way to route my GPU power cable from underneath. Overall, I liked how easy it was to build with, despite the tight fit for everything.

Tempered glass is a scam and contributes to higher temps. Wish mine didnt have it. Discovered that mining etherum years ago. I took it off and covered the side with fine-mesh bags. All metal is best really. Maybe it won't matter to you though, but after learning about that 1st hand, I'd avoid tempered glass.
>>
>>107318976
Or actually it was monero when it started to concern me, not ethereum

for purely textual or AI training running a 70b model on a regular pc, is just stacking ram (ddr5 over ddr4) the best approach? I see a lot of people running local AI using a single 16gb 5070ti or 9070xt, is that sufficient for usable speed?

It seems okay but I think I'll just stick with the meshify 2 because of the bigger dimensions and the nylon filter hopefully filtering out more dust.

I went with an MSI board myself.

there are also PCIE lane sharing/switching stuff to consider, different chipsets, etc. b650e, b850, x670e are the three id reccomend personally but feel free to check the difference and see if b870/e are worth it to you

I cut this out to the size of the front panel, it's thin enough that it won't touch the fans. No problems so far, but maybe things will be different in the summer

That is a bit thick, but I did some searching on my own and it seems like there's plenty of computer dust filters online, some quite thin.

>>107319360
Nta, but yeah technically something like merv 8 isn't going to be good for case fan motors (if it's actually doing its job as a filter) due to the increased resistance. It may be fine for a good while though

They already implied it will be over 700, which is the cost of just ram now. If they sell it for anything under 1k they are losing money. I honestly fear we are going into a consumer technological mini dark age. Everyone under upper middle class will be completely priced out of the pc market. This will also effect phones, we might see a resurgence in dumb phones because of this.

ONLY 3 DAYS UNTIL BLACK FRIDAY WHO HYPE

unc got mad and went into his meme folders lmao

can i be unc too
>>
>>107319998
I can't wait to look at the black Friday deals, see that I could have bough everything except the RAM at the same price a month ago, and cry because I waited for no reason and actively lost money on the RAM and GPU
>>
there are currently sales right now for everything but idk if they are actually THE black friday sales or not, i don't want to be jewed out of my money if i was to buy now and then there is a further price drop in a few days.
>>
i like black friday

It was the manufacturers that raised the prices, I don't think it is known what piece of information triggered it. The openai datacenter that is supposed to use 40% of worlds dram next year was already announced long ago, maybe the manufacturers didn't actually believe it was going to happen but now they do.

we have said it time and time again the phanteks pro ultra is a fantastic BUDGET CASE
If you are spending 2.5k on the rest of the pc you can afford throwing an extra 50 at a better case

the best possible 64gb ddr4 kit costs as much as the best 32gb ddr5 kit, all they need to do is start remanufacturing 5800x3ds (or make a better cpu) and no one needs to upgrade until zen 7, when am5 ends, or maybe even wait for ddr6
>>
>>107320315

It took 2 weeks for my ram to arrive

I genuinely think they are just swamped with orders right now and stock issues

is the card 8 or 16gb? the fact that they dont say it makes me think 8

It's not going to happen, they are not going to be able to sell it for 5080 prices or more.

>24gb when
When you are able to turn on Nvidia© Neural Texture Compression™ at Balanced 0.6667x compression (16 / 0.6667 = ~24) for a -5 FPS tax if used alongside DLSS4™ Super Resolution™.

Not even close. I'm trying to build it right now in PCpartpicker and even considering I can get the 7600X3D/mobo combo deal from Microcenter for $330, it's FAR more expensive.
>>107320530
You show me where I can build this PC for $1000
>>107320528
it's the 16GB, I just cut off the image strangely. The 7500X3D from what I can tell is just a worse binned 7600X3D which is a Microcenter exclusive.

I've been testing the temps of the 6800XT and according to overlays like Steam and Afterburner, the average temps under load is 65 degrees. After checking the logs of HWiNFO64, the hot spot temps are very high hovering around 92-99 degrees. Should I be worried?
>>
>>107320836
people will see this and still buy AMD's next 400W stovetop
people will defend shit like this and the 9070XT spiking to 600W and blowing up your PSU
>>
>>107320856
That's cool anon, but that didn't address my inquiry.
>>
>>107320858
GPU's SHOULD automatically downclock and throttle if they reach unsafe temps
>>
>>107320870
I'm using the default fan curve and gaming performance seems consistent with no dips. Fan speed (based on noise) is minimal.
>>
>>107320856
shitvidia literally hides the hotspot temperature so you don't see it anymore, chuddie
>>
If theres no mid range 24gb or 32gb next year im gonna fucking Luigi someone
>>
>>107320877
The default temperature target for most video cards is 95 degrees.
>What does this mean
It means the GPU will increase fan speed to stay under the target
>So why isn't the GPU always at that temperature
Because minimum fan speeds don't allow that
>So why don't the fans stay off until 95 C
Because that's a terrible idea
>>
>>107320971
Bottom line? 6800XT cards, according to what I've read, can handle 100-110 degrees. Any more than that, it's fucked. Or so I've head. Sorry, Anon, I'm not fully confident.
>>
>>107320971
>Because that's a terrible idea
nta but explain why it is a terrible idea
my cpu fan "curve" is off until almost critical temps
>>
>>107320932
the consoomer will be competing with the AI bubble startups for the next 2 years I think, just buy your fucking gpu already, this will be a 3 year limbo with bad hardware prices, you can hope that the ai bubble will burst, I certainly do, I would love to see China make wall street/crypto bros jump off of their buildings with a new deepseek moment, but it's too uncertain to rely on that
>>
>>107320877
if there's no dips means it's not thermal throttling, but stock curve is still too conservative
>>
>>107321019
yes it will throttle before it blows itself up, but its also not wise to redline it all the time, other components on the board can have reduced lifetimes as well from running at high temperatures
>>
>>107320836
have you undervolted your gpu? it does wonders for temp and performance
another thing you can do is replace the thermal paste with ptm7950 and maybe the thermal pads too, basic pc parts maintenance to make sure stuff is running the best it can
>>
>>107321083
Will AMD Adrenaline not reset the undervolt settings after a system reboot?

>>107321091
ofc not

Repaste or water block. I don't know why open loops aren't more popular with modern high draw components.

I'm looking at building a mostly new system with a 5090 in it. Potentially a 9800X3D for CPU. These mobos are currently in sale. I'm mostly interested in having maximum expansion for storage with m.2 and sata connections. Most of these only have 4x sata. Is there any that have more? My current one has 6 and I'm running 4 harddrives and 2 ssd and 2 m.2. I need to swap out the harddrives and I could go high capacity to fit into 4x sata but it's annoying.

From its peak to its current price rtx 3090 was ~3000$ to ~800$ now. I would not expect ram prices to exceed x4 of its original prices. In fact I think it will roughly stay at current price and then slowly start declining in 3 months or so
