Radeon is developing better GPUs, and AMD is killing it with their CPUs.
People who expected some miracle out of Redstone are just retarded.
AMD released a Redstone feature preview earlier this year.

No point cheering for NVIDIA or wishing for the demise of AMD.

>>107518376
Nobody cares if they're developing better GPUs in the future, outside of enterprise clients. Consumers can watch in real time as AMD abandons its previous reputation for long term driver support, at the same time that leaked files let you drop in a dll to circumvent artificial software feature restrictions. AMD CPUs are still the only x86 platform worth buying, but they lost their only competitive advantage in GPUs to their own stubbornness. You'd have to be an idiot to buy AMD GPUs now that they've started dropping feature support even faster than njudea

The point is that things would be even worse without these Radeon cards.
And AMD had to choose its development priorities between CPU and GPUs, given the limited funding.
You get the features that were guaranteed at the time of purchase; that's what you're entitled to; everything else is a bonus.

AMD didn't commit to AI/ML as hard as NVIDIA, so they thought stuff like ML upscalers wouldn't be as impactful as they turned out during RDNA2 & 3's development.
Many people who bought these cards said they don't care about FSR/DLSS, so they get to live with that choice.

>>107518722
AMD didn't invest much into AI-accelerated rendering features because Radeon's largest customer (Sony) didn't need them yet.
It's not a coincidence FSR 1 was designed to run on PS4 and other last-gen consoles.
Radeon didn't prioritize image quality; they wanted Sony to sample it to get feedback on future GPU development.
AMD & Sony are in a pals for life business relationship because the PS4 SoC orders funded Ryzen & Epyc CPU development.

Need help with my setup, the last three items to be ordered:
1. Paste (to pair with 9800X3D+ U14S [clears my RAM since that was panic buy #1 over a week ago])
2. PSU - I'm torn between Corsair HX1200i (2025) and Seasonic PRIME TX-1300 --- I want the best and to have it last 10 years with no coil whine. I lucked out with my past Seasonic. My head hurts when trying to find a multi rail that isn't a coin flip.
3. A case that can fit a 210mm PSU + my Noctuua + holds 2 SSDs and 2 3.5" HDD.

Any help is appreciated.

250 nits qdoled is really not equal to 250 nits lcd though
also the color saturation helps
it's way brighter than it seems
plus you have 400-1000 nits hdr
asus models also have unlockable unform brightness in sdr so you can get up to 400 nits in smaller windows if you can cope with brightness flactuations
but really it's more than enough

>why?
because samsung limited the panels from factory

samsung oled monitors on sale are by far the best value though but damn they have shit qc and shit like the fucking powerbutton knob can break like goly fuck
plus the matte coating
and lacking features like usb-c

but for a good price and a non shitty pixel refresh thing it would be worth it
it's 50€ higher than what they dipped to on black friday though, they are still not selling
I feel they might even be cheaper later

but question remains 27" or 32"
but 27" tend to be more expensive
27" has not been as low as 499€ since back then either.....

Get the HX1200i over the Prime TX-1300.
SeaSonic is going to release a safer version of that PSU in the future; no point paying the Prime TX premium when you know a better unit will be out in 1~2 years.
Both of these PSUs are way overkill for a frikkin Ventus 5070 Ti.
I'd even go down to an RM1000x and spend the savings on a better 5070 Ti model (or even a 5080).

I'm gonna play Demon Souls on RPCS3, it's not gonna make the GPU sweat but it's fun.

>offered 4090 for $1300

32" for 4k and 27" for 2k.

>>107520406
5060 Ti 16GB should age better as it gets support for newer DLSS models. The 2060 from 2018 supports DLSS4 Transformer Model for better upscaling than FSR4 on the 9060 XT, which is only about as good as the old DLSS3.

Today? I have a 5070 and it cost me as much as a 1080 Ti would've cost back then, and the 1080 Ti is still relevant today as a budget used GPU, while the 5070 will probably be forgotten in a few years as just another okay xx70 tier card.

Is it worth selling my 64 GB 6400 kit if I really got 500 or 600 € for it or does price rise further? I could buy some used 32 GB 5200/600 kit for about 200 €.
>>107520630
I got the GX 1300 without cables for 60 € once. Amazing deal I was paid to upgrade from a 850. Don't waste money on Titanium, before that I had the TX-650 thinking I'm set for a lifetime but it shut off with a 5900X/XTX build. My current hardware is more efficient but its nice to be sure the PC could handle the coming UDNA flagship or whatever high TDP GPU that may be affordable in the future.
>>107520478
They need, its just sad they did not make big RDNA4 just like with RDNA1. But the enthusiast market is small.
>>107520469
All are a joke its a mess there is no 4090 replacement for a decent price. I was scammed for 1200 € with a nonfunctional 2D 4090 Strix in early 2025, but at least I tried. Getting the Paypal force refund took forever. But its good not to go 5080, the card is hardly better than a 9070 XT, so what not runs well on that one will not run better on the 5080. But for the pricing of AMD framegen and upscaling is reasonable, on a 3000 € card it certainly isn't.

No, even for 1000 € I wouldn't switch now, still its more than 50 % weaker than a 4090 because you can OC that too. My plan was to get a cheap waterblock and the Alphacool Eiswolf, I got one for effectively 25 € that is now laying around. Sadly the only block for 9070 XT costs 200 € so its not worth to pay 1/3 of the cards value for a shit card.

The gap to 5090 is just immense, used 4090 go for 2 K again now. There is ZERO hope until 2027. But I intend to save 3 K to be able to scalp a 6090 ideally so I can get a free upgrade again and finally buy UDNA+waterblock, if I could ripp some rich person off enough I would even consider a full custom loop (hardline). But that would be minimum 500 € even if I bought some parts used from forums.

Man, there's gotta be a point where realistic graphics stagnate and we won't need super ultra expensive cards anymore, right?

>>107520919
Thanks, but I already blew my wad. I got a water blocked 5090 and open loop with mostly hard lines. I need to swap a few soft lines on the gpu now that I know everything is stable. It's what I always wanted and I spent too much, but the future looks grim and it almost feels like this is the end. I missed out on a 4090 so I ate shit and bought a 5090.

>>107520945
Yeah we hit that point with the new battlefront 2

dont worry, deepseek's new model will destroy openai, wall street, israel and drumpf all at the same time and then ram will be back to lower prices

>>107520945
I genuinely feel like we were at a good spot like 5 years ago and then things went full retard
Games around then had lower hardware requirements and looked really good (a lot better current year AAAslop). Stuff now looks "more realistic" and has extra details, but somehow looks significantly worse for the hardware requirements

>>107520974
Wtf is going on then, unironically super sloppy game devs ?

>>107520946
Then you are probably rich and careless. Although some people also bought a 5090 because they sold their used 4090 for 2 K and it was just a few hundreds when it was on stock for about 2.2 K. In that situation its reasonable, its probably 30 % improvement over 4090 but also high power draw. Watercooling is practically mandationary on that card.

What do you mean, you mean SWBF II 2017, it looks amazing and butter smooth 4K120 with no drops ever. It would probably even run on 9060 XT with that quality. Just like BF1 an example for games that wee properly optimized. Just look at this detail, its 2016.

>>107521034
>Then you are probably rich and careless.
Nope. Pretty poor just saved my cash. When the 6090 is 3k with a street price of 4k for a 15 percent uplift, the 5090 will look like a deal. That said I waited for a 4090, but that got stupid. If I had one i'd still be using it instead of buying a 5090.

all my new build did was show me how old and shit my current monitor is

what sort of image settings should I use on my OLED? there are two sections for different modes, ones "professional" ones "gaming". they all look so drastically different. I tried the sRGB mode and it looks quite washed out and lacking contrast compared to my TN next to it.

>>107521071
A 4090 would serve me totally well. But there is likely going to be UDNA if its double 9070 XT for around 1 K I buy it.

>>107521071
> for a 15 percent uplift
In this case I would skip it to wait for the 7090 but since we know that it will be based on a new architecture we may expect a jump like we saw with the 4090 and this jump from the level of the 5090 means that I can finally justify to upgrade my 4090.

games have regressed and look worse now. It's all a muddy overload of overtextured grainy sludge now. Game environments these days don't have any good contrast against actual gameplay elements thus there's a huge loss of clarity. You can't actually tell what anything looks like at first glance now which is ironic considering how "realistic" things look in new games

>>107522006
thankfully the handful of non-ue5 games still look great

>>107522006
also wanna add, just look up screenshots of MHGU vs MHwilds (or even rise or worlds) to see what I mean.
MHGU is clean and sharp, and you can instantly tell what and where everything is on screen.

The 9070XT is not faster then the 7900XTX keep coping faggot it's a gimped card with a 256 bit memory bus and half the vram and is only good at upscaling and gaytracing (useless features) you got sold a mid range card at high end price and now you have to make up lies

i have an obsolete 10900k that's running at 5.2ghz and its nicer to use than more modern systems

should i replace my thermal paste after 10 years? running stock settings on an i5 6600k, my temps are usually 30-45deg C depending on my load.
i bought a tube to do my gtx1070 since i don't want to replace that for a long time.

>>107521319
I use one as my main and its fine, the depth compared to IPS is really nice and 180 hz is enough for most shit these days considering how unoptimized everything is.
The ghosting isn't so obvious it annoys me, the big gripe I have is the low number of zones so you see blooming if its a pretty minimal scene and I would say its the biggest drawback by far.
I would have bought OLED if I didn't have static content most of the time but this feels like a good middle ground, especially for the price.

Uhhb bros I just installed my 5070ti and windows isn't detecting it. I'm starting to get a bit worried. Lights turn on, I don't think I see any warning lights but I'm not sure where those would be. I can use windows with the igpu and see that no other gpu is detected. Never used a gpu with this motherboard, there is no other pci slot to try. Tried removing and placing the card once to no avail. Tried dp and hdmi but the gpu should show up Un windows even if there was something was wrong with the display connection, right? Tried changing bios from auto to pci 4. I'm starting to get a bit worried.

>>107522759
That applies to all 3 statements, reading the reviews, strangely some Gigabyte X870E users are expereincing the same black screen no output issues as I'm currently having.
It's insane how unstable AM5 is holy fawk.

>>107522765
didn't happen to me. because i followed the advice i gave you. how many super duper premium boards are they selling compaired to the shit ones? a 9800x3d doesn't pull much power. think about that.

My 96gb kit just shipped, praying my 64gb kit exists and ships as well.

what boards do you see in prebuilts using standard components?

Thank you furmark for keeping my room warm in the winter.

>>107522772
I think I saw a graph a while back showing that x670 boards only accounted for like 5-10% of marketshare while b650 was 90%+ marketshare in japan. But they're kind of poor over there so who knows if it applies to us

I'm guessing I either have to leave it running at 100% speed longer so the air bubbles bleed out?
either that or I received a defective unit yet again

>>107518654
Nah, definitely not. You can get the ASRock challenger for $599 and it is a better form factor and about the same build quality as the lower end Gigabyte stuff.

You can get the Powercolor Hellhound and Red Devil for cheaper than that, both of which are better build quality.
