>NEWShttps://www.jpost.com/business-and-innovation/tech-and-start-ups/article-880828Nvidia to invest billions in Israel to build a new campus there. Jensen says it's their second home.>With the official announcement, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said: “Israel is home to some of the world’s most brilliant technologists and has become NVIDIA’s second home. Our new campus will be a place where our teams can collaborate, invent, and build the future of AI. This investment reflects our deep and enduring commitment to our families in Israel and their unique contributions to the AI era.”So TLDR if you buy an Nvidia gpu you support1. Genocide of innocent civilians2. Child Sacrifice3. Pedophilia4. Jewish power and control of western governments and institutions
>>107640061>Workstation/high end: consider 2x32GBOr 2x24GB.> Gaming: DDR5 2x16GB 6000CL302x24GB 6000CL30 is also doable here.
>>107640075you also support mass surveillance since Nvidia is working with palantir, law enforcement, glowniggers, governments etc.
>>107640061Don't buy PC systems until RAM gets normal pricing againBoycott the industry ye dumb fucks !
I just missed out on 256gb of samsung ecc rdimms for 200 dollars
>>107640096>Non-binary LGBT ram
>>107640140Using ai slop is the opposite of boycotting.
How are SSD prices? Are those also getting fucked or is it just RAM and GPUs?
>>107640140You can't boycott a company that no longer needs your business.
>>107640223Boycott the IRS and don't pay your taxesBoycott all public companies linked to BlackRock & coBoycott the Illuminati and go innawoods
>>107640122>you also support mass surveillance since Nvidia is working with palantir, law enforcement, glowniggers, governments etc.Yeah and apple/microsoft/google/facebook/everyone else also worked together with PRISM, going as far back as 2007.
>>107640218they getting fucked too
>>107640200There are no technical downsides really, the only downside is availability/price, but since they're less popular than 32/64GB kits, right now there are a few 48GB kits going for under $400 when 32GB kits are $400+ and 64GB kits are $600+.
>>107640131Ohnonono nicofag btfo
>>107640245Is it just SSDs or also HDDs?
AMD doing more scummy shit on AM5https://x.com/itsHemu2K/status/2003304621956304966i wonder how they'll keep getting away with it, they've built up a lot of goodwill with AM4 but it has to come crashing down eventually
>>107640260Both SSDs and HDDs.
>>107640311I fucking hate AI
>>1076403065.525*It just 25mhz bro
Wait so I need a GPU support on the side AND in the middle?
How's this bundle for 500?AMD Ryzen 7 7700XGigabyte B650 Gaming X AX v2G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit
>>107640306Lol it's nothing.5550mhz vs 5525mhz
Can someone explain this? Supposedly these are both 16GB RAM. The top shows 16GB on each stick however the bottom shows 8GB on each stick. Same manufacturer.
>>107640372
>>107640399
>>107640411That's whats confusing me. The bottom implies that they're individually 8GB(2X4GB) for 16GB in total, however this would mean the top is 32GB. Assuming the top is accurate, this would mean the bottom is only 8GB and not the listed 16GB.
>>107640434Lol they're a matched kit of 2x4GB sticks, they're not 8GB sticks.The top are a matched kit of 2x8GB sticks, for 16GB total.
>>107640372>>107640434What makes you think the lower set is 16gb? It says it's 8gb and if you google the part number it says it's 8gb (2x4gb). Just to be clear the 2x4gb means it's a set of 2 sticks of 4gb each, not that each individual stick is 8gb.
>>107640449>What makes you think the lower set is 16gb?The ebay listing said 16GB. So it's really 8GB.
>>107640468Yes, they're either retards, or lying.
>>107640468scammers gonna scam
It's over OLED cucks. People found out how to make IPS look the same as OLED with no burn in.
>>107640523Just tried it. It doesn't look like OLED.
>>107640306It's a nothing burgerNot like the 12900k which had an fmax of 5.3ghz in the earliest samples (firmware blocked to 5.2ghz doe) and changed to 5.2ghz in later ones
>eBayStop being retarded.
>>107640704Whats wrong with eBay now?
>>107640523SAR THIS IS HOW TO DO YOUR IPS LOOK LIKE OLED
>>107640523>It's over OLED cucks.I sure am a paypig OLED cuck.bought one because my previous IPS monitor malfunctioned with very annoying flickering.thought I'd give OLED a chance so I buy one, it actually works great for a couple days, then I turned it off as I go take a shit and when I return and try to turn it on it blasts me with red, blue, white, green screens and is unresponsive to any input on its 3 shitty buttons.1000 bucks down the drain, not entirely but I also lose a lot of time returning it, getting a new one etc. and its the holidays. great, just great man.it really pisses me off how shit things are nowadays. is there no fucking quality control anywhere?and prices are sky high for everything too, GPUs, RAM, SSDs/HDDs all went up in price along with everything else.and the worst is the things even if you get them and pay out the ass for them have such a low quality that they break constantly. my last IPS monitor only lasted 3 and a half years.before that my SSD died and before that my CPU croaked and my 3090 died too not too long ago.and the really worst is it doesnt look like things are gonna improve anytime soon. in 10 years this thread might not even exist anymore because computing at home will be a thing of the past.man I'm fuckin demoralized.
>>107640523Fuck, the ipslets figured out how to download OLEDWont be long before it spreads on reddit.....
Are separate drives for OS and games still needed or 1 for both would suffice with modern SSDs?
>https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LCJ63wAll prices after taxes. How'd I do? I'm upgrading from i5-3570K, GTX 670.missing AOC Q27GZMN 1440p 240 Hz Monitor for $330.
>>107640909One for both will suffice. The speeds are negligible at this point and it's purely for better organization.
>>107640909Keep your writes to a minimum on SSDs. So disable page caching etc if you have enough ram, etc.Ideally you'd have a setup like mine: OS on MLC SSD (2.5/NVME), a scratch disk (TLC NVME) and your games (TLC NVME) and a long term storage (3.5 HDD SATA)My SSD SATA MLC at this point is going to last me 15 years, if the controller doesn't randomly shit itself.
>pc gaming died for this
So who is left making RAM anymore?

worth going 4k on a 9070 xt or stick to 1440p?
>>107641175Depends on the game.I was playing 4k stardew valley on my GTX 1660Ti no problem.
For what purpose would someone need to splurge on DDR5 or anything about 3000MHz?
>>107641231flexing on poors. Since you had to ask,I assume you can’t afford to do it.
>>107641231the "sweet spot" for 9000 series AMD is 6000Mhz CL30
>>107640821I poasted this in the last thread before realizing it was deadAnon if youre in the US theres whats called an implied warranty of merchantability. They owe you all your money back, even without the packaging. You can escalate thru Amazon customer service then charge back thru your bank. Amazon will be quicker but the bank is surer, you send them proof that you bought the monitor and it’s not working within 14 days and they will take your money back from Bezos for you.
>>107641238I can afford it, but just because I can isnt reason to buy something. That’s just being bad with finances.
>>107640912Why a 7800x3d and not the 9000? Doesn't the 7800x3d run hot as hell because the cache is stacked on top?
>>107640821>>107641261Also the manufacturer warranty will still apply assuming it was bought new. Fastest option if you just want a working monitor and can’t convince amazon. They also arent going to care about the packaging.
>>107640372>>107640399its a kit, see the "(2x8gb)" and "(2x4gb)"top is a kit of 16gb, 2 sticks og 8gbbottom is a kit of 8 gb, 2 sticks of 4gb>>107640485>>107640486this
>>107641231Because 3000MHz is the highest you can go on AM5 before needing manual tuning
>>107640821>is there no fucking quality control anywhere?Even products with great QA are going to have products that are sent out as flukes without them really knowing. They most likely just turn it on to make sure it works, then send it out. Most companies will give you a free replacement if it dies that soon.

>>107640912>nocktuaSo much money so little sense.
since this general is full of smart people do you guys think humanity will be on the verge of extinction by 2100?
>>107641590yes. like always a selfmade problem ofc.
