What time do the Cyber Monday deals in Canada start appearing in if they didn't start at midnight?

There's a graphics card I want to buy but so far there doesn't seem to be any Cyber Monday deals for it that I've seen after googling a lot.

OLEDBros, what are we thinking about the XG27AQWMG? I currently have $650 saved for it and have been looking forward to it, but after seeing all the vertical banding issues, I'm not sure. I already had an OLED, the G61SD, that I returned a month ago due to the matted coating and a flickering issue for $550 and I hoped this would be a direct upgrade. Will it still be worth it?

>>107394269
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bvT5XvG65Y
Looks like the XFX Swift might be the way to go. The Pulse is probably fine too. Honestly they should all be functionally identical, you could choose based on looks if you want, although there's not much difference there either.

is there a way to disable all RGBs without downloading each makers malwares?

I have a question anons.

How much RGB is too much?

Because I want little bits of tasteful RGB, I want the machine to look like it's alive. But, I don't want it spewing rainbows.

But the only shit out there is like massive LED strips and glowing fans and shit.

When swapping from amd to nvidia, what's the correct way to go about it? Swap gpus and then run DDU+install new drivers. Or run DDU, then switch gpus and install new drivers? Or does it not matter?

>>107394262
The heavily discounted Cyber Monday deals are junk that didn't sell through the earlier discounts.
New graphics will rarely be discounted. Maybe 50 people might have gotten the Newegg $300 5070 limited quantity offer.

>>107394376
Run DDU, choose your GPU vendor driver to clean, select turn PC off, and replace the card afterwards.
Download the NVIDIA drivers before you do this, bonus points if you disable internet on your PC to prevent Windows from automatically DLing old drivers.

>>107394382
Alright thanks anon.

>>107394376

>>107394405
Alright, seems straightforward enough. Thanks.
Maybe one final thing before I jump into this: my cpu doesn't have integrated graphics. This won't be a problem, right? The gpu will still be able to output something even without drivers, so that I can see what I'm doing for installing the new drivers afterwards?

>>107394436
That's correct.
The vBIOS on the card has the data to display basic video output like the PC BIOS screen, and there's a generic fallback display driver for Windows.

I'm a total newbie who wants to build a pc. Can't I just use the logical increments builds? They look cool

You can't eliminate that banding, I'm guessing it's worse ootb because the monitor's been packed in storage for a while.
It's also not recommended to run too many pixel refreshes at once.

Got a 9070XT from a few threads ago which arrived today. New 750W PSU in there today too, which works fine with existing parts. When the 9070XT is in there, I get no display at all from any output ports, no UEFI or POST, nothing. The rest of the system still continues to work - I can hear sound and see the disk activity light flashing on the case. The CPU is a 5800X.
Is this a power issue? The only recourse I have is to try a bigger PSU but I'd rather not buy one if I can get this working.

If I want to use 4090 on MOBO with AM4 socket which CPU would you recommend?

>>107394911
none since amd doesnt produce am4 cpus with x3d anymore

>>107394370
best would be ram with light strips on it and nothing else, hell i shifted from full-on rainbow puke to three blue fans to just shutting off all the lights altogether since the glare was bouncing off my monitor and just clashed with the warm white of my lightbar when underneath my desk

>>107394736
>New 750W PSU in there today too, which works fine with existing parts.
Means your PSU is fine, a 9070 XT doesn't power on with maximum power draw + transients at system bootup.
The fans ramp up as part of a fan test during system boot.
Reseat the video card, and try installing it in other PCIe slots if available.
Make sure the power cables are firmly seated on both ends (card & PSU).

>>107394810
>>fell for the "just barely" psu
His 750W can easily handle a 9070 XT, especially if the new unit is an ATX 3.x certified one.
Under ATX 3,x, the PCIe connections for the GPU need to handle 3x the maximum rated load over a very short time.
That's well over 900W of transient load just for the video card.

You buy PSUs with more wattage if you plan to buy a 450/600W power draw video card in the future.

>>107394676
why? if it's just adjusting the pixel wear nothing that has not been used won't get adjusted

I already have 32GB RAM, but DDR4. I'm thinking of replacing my RTX 3090 as I RMA'd it.

Don't want to spend too much money on components, but for the money I'll get from RTX 3090, I could buy a used 4090. So throwing extra $300 for R7 5700X3D is something I could afford.

But getting new MOBO and new RAM etc is something I don't want to do.

>>107395082
you kill yourself

>>107395317
how do you rma a 5y old gpu
also used 4090 sells for way more than a 3090

>>107395357
I bought a brand new RTX 3090 in 2024, and it's on the seller's warranty until January. So I'll be getting $1600 as they won't be able to send me a new one.

Do I really need an X3D CPU for 4090?

>>107395317
$300 for a 5700X3D is scam when you can get a 14600K+B760 for the same price
neither of them will be able to max out a 4090

Whats the verdict for the Xiaomi G Pro 27i?

Need some advice / confirmation. I've been following the thread a little bit and it seems like I pretty much should get the 5070 ti.

My situation is that I have a 4k gaming monitor + 1440p side monitor. I want to game at relatively decent framerate ~120 fps on most modern games. I don't play that many modern games, but loading up something like BG3 and getting a stable framerate is a necessary thing for me. The slight doubt is that I know my motherboard is getting old. I built this computer around early covid ~2020 and I've only made a cpu upgrade since (due to the constraints of an older motherboard I didnt get the 7000 series), and bought a 4k monitor knowing I would use it at its full potential when I upgrade the gpu.

My budget is around the ~1k mark. I initially was thinking about a 5080, but after viewing the thread more, I'm leaning towards the 5070 ti. Am I also right i thinking the savings might be better down the road when higher vram cards become available in the distant future?

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor
B550-A PRO (MS-7C56) (AM4)
chinese 32 gb ram I bought in 2020 (it still works fine) @3600 Mhz

I'd get a 5070ti. The 5080 is a pretty big price bump for a relatively small performance increase. You won't be getting 120fps at 4k in most games though, but neither would the 5080. You'll need DLSS or a 5090 for that.

Ultimately if you don't spend at least 850 bucks you can't get a *good* monitor.

For 600 bucks you can get a decent OLED but OLEDs are only viable if you use them for gaming/media, for productivity/reading or even MMOs they are e-waste since the interface will burn in in less than 2 years. IPS is the only real pick for mixed media/productivity usage, with mini-LED being a nice option for near-OLED experience when gaming but with the added hassle of having to fiddle with the settings whenever you switch from media to productivity (since miniled looks like shit when reading/using interfaces).

I hope you buy a 5090

>>107396343
I have a 3080 and buying a card with 20% uplift compared to that with the same lack of memory would be actually pissing money away for no reason

btw

the 5090 is okay, as is the 4090. But ur a dum dum if ur air cooling.

I want to finally make the jump to 1440p gaming and currently have a 6700xt. I was planning on getting a new monitor + gpu next year but with the current news I'm panicking, there's a 4070 super for 700$ CAD on marketplace but is 12gb enough for the next 6-7yrs? All the decent 1440p IPS monitors here are sold out too...

>>107397144
>12gb enough for the next 6-7yrs
no

>>107397144
5070 is the mainstream choice and was pretty cheap in recent sales
5070 ti for the higher end option

then you want to look at 1440p tandem oled monitors instead of ips

I just want a damn sale on a good low profile GPU for my Plex/Jellyfin server bros

My current ddr4 ram sticks are 3200mhz CL16-18-18-38. Therer's a couple of listing for additional sticks that are going for cheap near me, with timings like 16-18-18-36 and 16-20-20-38. Will timings like those cause issues when pairing them with my current sticks? I know you need to match the kits as best as possible, but when people refer to their ram they usually just mention "3200CL16" and leave the other numbers out, so I'm wondering if they're all that important or not?

>>107397212
I think they default to the slower speeds

>>107396481
It sounds like an IPS is the most appropriate option for me. Any suggestions? I like the idea of a curved monitor, but it's not a necessity. Image quality and color is the biggest thing for me.

>>107397159
I use my PC for more than just gaming so I worry about OLED burn in, IPS with mini LEDs seemed like the best middle ground but its almost non existent.

i haven't replied to you before i just gave you some unbiased info on performance. If your goal is to play vidya at 1440p a 9060xt (AGAIN 16gb Version) will do just fine, a 5060TI will do it a bit better and so on

Textures will eventually catch up with you, i dont subscribe to the line that the OP used to have about 8g starting to be a strain at 1080p that was obviously overkill
I was mainly stating that the 16gb cards will age much better, they are a much better buy for not that much more imo.

>>107397226
Look up the rtings website and choose the best monitor for your needs

>>107398386
games rely on upscaling and nvidia has better software features
eg you get better qual dlss, frame gen, bunch other features and ofc the stronger perf of 5070 helps

>>107398412
Thanks you sub-saharan. I'll consider.
>>107398437
I keep saying this. Yes the card is better.
But it's almost double price.
It is not double performance.
I think I'll be ok with the 9060 XT

>>107398386
Dont compare the 9060xt to the 5070, compare it to a 5060TI if you want nvidia features
The 5070 would be if you want an upgrade (or the 9070) etc
It will do 1440p@60fps for half a decade, you might want more than 60fps since your new screen will also have more than 120hz
If you are on budget there are good cases cheaper than the 4000d (which is a fantastic case) like a montech 903
I would pick a b850 board for longevity but its not the biggest of deals.
List looks good anon, you just need to decide on the gpu

>>107398416

stop buying overpriced quest protein snacks and eat your calories off fucking chicken so you can save money for hardware

>>107398504
thats the idea but sadly the same people that paid the premium for unlocked hyper threading are willing to pay the premium for fake features today
thing is if youre planing for long term then the argument changes a little: 9060xt/ 5060ti are good enough for now, now being around 3 years looking at the trend or retarded developers releasing games optimized for dual socket 9950x3d and quad-sli 5090 housefires
this retard doesnt want you buying amd, posting versus.com tier bencharks shows that
if you plan on the "long" term (i would call that more than 5 years) i would either pick a 5070ti or a 9070xt
yes they are more expensive but they will age better for sure
right now its not visible yet but this ram scam will hit gpu prices in the near future too which is something to consider

>Might as well jump to 16 GB, right?
It's your money, but game devs should support 12GB video cards for a while.
Especially when VRAM prices are going insane next year.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony delays the PS6 launch due to this memory shit show.

guys what are you (You) playing? I need to test my 9070 xt, I wanted to play aion2 but I have to get a vpn to play it now and I won't
maybe where wind meets is a good game?

LOL they ain't in the same league lil man

Nothing at first glance, but you are getting raped with these exorbitant prices. At the very minimum search hard and long for 32gbs that are being sold at a somewhat reasonable price range even if the delivery takes a lot longer.

>>107398877
5070 is a bad gpu and 12gb vram is not enough
5060 ti 16, 9060 xt 16 or 9070/xt are the good gpus to get, you can get the 5070 ti if you want to pay $150 more than the 9070xt for the same performance

>>107398903
repacks of what?

>>107398909
I'm not getting 12. I'm getting 16.
All the other anons are saying that I'm paying almost 2 bills more, but it'll last for very long. Pay more save more, as that one nigger said.

Currently on a 9060 XT but looking to upgrade when the 60 series releases, is this a good idea?

>>107398748
you seem like a fag who wants me to spend more $, jsut cuz it's funny.

>>107398936
5070 only has 12gb vram

>>107398869
Thanks anon, will look it up. The internet has become garbage at finding information. Half the fly killer stuff is for fruit flies. Then other people swear it still works on gnats whilst others say it doesn't. It is a fucking mess. Gonna run the electric fly killer 24/7 for a few days. Already killed hundreds.

>>107398877
Ignore retard saying 12gb isn't enough, anyone recommending an amd gpu in December of 2025 is certifiably insane

It has a very pungent strong and disgusting odor tho, you might want to keep the plant outside during application and after, or in a window

there he is, the retard in person

>>107398207
I'd remove the bottom one, but that's just me.

>>107398952
as in 10060xt or 6060ti? looking at the current climate those cards are not being released any time soon

>>107398877
JESUS CHRIST THE 5070 TI IS EXPENSIVE.
BTW, it says GDDR7, my motherboard is the b650 eagle.
Compatible?

>>107399007
I think that the card would hit the top of the bottom one and the bottom of the middle one if i slot it on the bottom pcie while i think its smack dab on the middle fan with the top pcie >>107398256

>JESUS CHRIST THE 5070 TI IS EXPENSIVE.
Yeah that's why you buy the 5070, performance gap is only like ~20% at 1440p and lower at 1080p anyways, you buy the ti if you know you need the vram (if you can't name a specific example you probably won't need it)

>>107398666
The TI is always a superior model.

>>107399045
I'm not stupid. I just don't know the intricacies of Compoopers.
Thanks for all the help guys.

>>107399029
i swapped a 4070 Super for a 5070 so i could have a triple fan (also to put the 4070 back in my old system) and i was suprised at the gains

>did not expect

>>107399062
OK, so - the RAM on the GPU is used by the GPU, and the GPU is compatible with your mainboard

Hey Everybody. Right before I click buy, last thing to say.
The 9060 is 4 bills.
the 5070 TI is 8 bills.

Double price. DO I really need the 5070 TI?
I mean, I want 60 FPS, reliable gaming at 1440.
I know I sound like a broken stereo, but It's my money.

>>107399101
There's a 5070 there in the middle for someone like you

Get the 9070

>>107399097
I'm already a schizo.

>>107399114
5070? link?
>>107399127
and many others are saying the TI is worth the investment.

>>107399115
9070 XT is kino

>>107399101
i have answered that question straight out two times anon

>>107399132
>TI is worth the investment.
Do you need more than 12gb but less than 16gb? The ti is objectively a poor value if you don't.

unless DRAM prices are skyrocketing and all the GPU vendors have announced incoming price increases

>>107396128
Realistically, you're stuck at gen 3 speeds with your motherboard, so I would go for a used rtx 3080/3070ti, or rx 6700 xt. Anything that uses all 16 lanes of your pcie port.

Also, since you're on a 1080p monitor, you don't really need a powerhouse video card. rtx 3060 12gb would be good as well since you would have more than 8gb for titles down the line.

Any reason to have G-Sync turned on with a 5070 Ti? My monitor does support it.

>>107399339
>Any reason to have G-Sync turned on

A 5070TI will do that GUARANTEED

im gonna autism ramble now that the thread is bump limited

i dont know how the fuck so many people tolerate this entire hobby space these days, i know im just burnt out on it, ive been doing it for a long time, i presume a lot of people who frequent this thread are probably fairly new to this all and maybe dont have the earlier experience

fucking windows, i never thought it would get this bad, im just tired of it, i decided to stay on 10 because 11 was absolute dogshit and at least 10 was dried out dogshit i cant smell anymore, and its still awful
half the time i turn on my PC my mouse doesnt work for a solid minute, i have no idea why, something is probably wrong with the usb controller
usb audio is a secondary problem related to that, it wont sustain a sound for more than a fraction of a second, i have no other way to describe that
imagine you test your volume by clicking the volume slider handle on your taskbar *dinggggg* sort of noise
no, i get *di-* and nothing else
so i gotta use the onboard audio 3.5mm out which is noisy instead of connecting directly to a dac
supposedly this is a usb power saving feature but i disabled all of that and it persists, linux doesnt have this issue, but linux audio barely works anyway and anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar

half my games just decide to not work at random, its been 2 years of "you should upgrade to windows 11" and i still get the entire screen covering prompt every now and then after booting up
i need my computer to be a reliable and consistent tool and its simply not that anymore, i dont know where it all went wrong, when i was daily driving fucking windows 8, not even 8.1, it was more consistent and reliable than this
im tired of opening up a music folder and it taking time to load the file list? that shit should be instant every single time and instead im watching it slowly load in every line item one at a time
i want "3d objects" to not be in my file picker, cant do that

>>107399526
try installing win11 and update the bios

>>107399498
or an Arc B580

>>107399526
nah the win 8 full tile start menu is some of the most dog shit things ever along with the os
I think win11 is literally fine for the most part
maybe you need to buy the course and learn how to make your system just work
sounds like a lot of fucked up shit
