I'm never going back to budget XX6X GPUs. It's such a refreshing experience to not hear my GPU stressing and sounding like a blow dryer while gaming after upgrading to a high end GPU.
I need a roomy full tower case that can also dampen noise from multiple HDDs, 5-7 fans, GPU coil whine, and a blu ray drive. What are my options?
>>107693076I figured if you bought a three fan model it would be dead quiet. I remember my old 980ti spooling up constantly, but it was two fan.
Friendly reminder. You will never be a real 80-class GPU. You have no GB202 silicon, you have no 320-bit/ 384-bit bus, you have no 20GB/ 24GB of VRAM. You are a mid-range GB203 chip twisted by Jensen’s greed and a $1,000 MSRP into a crude mockery of a flagship’s perfection. All the "validation" you get from benchmarks is two-faced and half-hearted; behind your back, the entire enthusiast community mocks you for having only 49% of the 5090's CUDA cores. Your specs are a dead giveaway - 16GB of VRAM and a 256-bit bus is the "mid-range bone structure" that proves you are just a 70-series card in a suit. Even if a drunk gamer brings you home, they’ll turn tail and bolt the second they see you choking on 4K textures because you lack the bandwidth and "breathing room" of a real enthusiast card. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake DLSS frame every morning and tell yourself it’s 4K gaming, but deep inside you feel the VRAM limitations creeping up like a weed, ready to crush your framerates under the unbearable weight of Ray Reconstruction. Eventually, it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll be listed on eBay for $400, and every buyer for the rest of eternity will know a mid-range 70-class chip is buried under that shroud. This is your fate. This is what Jensen chose for you. There is no turning back.
>>107693076It's nice to have a card that actually stays in zero rpm mode instead of turning on and off.
>>107693076>>107693110just put your pc under your desk
Good evening my /g/. May you have a wonderful holiday
>>107693101Doesn't matter, they cut down on the heatsink density.
been trying to fix an old computer and I have now purchased everything new again except the CPU and ram (it didn't have a gpu)
>>107693081Nothing. Get a used Cooler master HAF 932 Advanced. That or pay out the ass for a Silverstone case.
>>107693160I guess that's one improvement. I got a 5080 that uses less power than my 3090 while having a far more advanced heat exchanger. Runs nice and quiet comparatively.
>>107693081fractal design 7 or 7xl
>>107693081I use a corsair 750D airflow. It doesn't dampen the noise because it's a high airflow case, but it does fit 6x 3.5" HDDs, 3-4x 2.5" SSDs, 3x 5.25" front bays, and room for 8x 120mm case fans or 5x 140mm case fans.
>>107693076It's a nice change from old high end GPUs that used as much power as possible all the time and were loud hot bastardsof course on radeon it's still like that
>>107693204>out the ass for a Silverstone case.Such as?
>>107693234
>>107693234or
>>107693204>haf 932 advancedMmm, didn't go so well for the last anon that bought one here now did it?
>>107693263No he was lazy and didn't strip it down then take it outside and scrub it with dish soap and water.
Very satisfied with my 3080. You really don't need more for gayming and video editing, world standard are still at 1080 for both
>>107693293Very satisfied with my 5090. You really don't need more for gayming and video editing, world standard are still at 4k for both
>>107693227>but it does fit 6x 3.5" HDDsTechnically I think it fits 15 if you buy additional HDD caddies.It uses caddies that fit 3 HDDs, you can stack 3 of those caddies on top of each other at the very front of the case for 9 HDDs, then you can do a stack of 2 more caddies next to the PSU for 6 more, for a total of 15 3.5" HDDs.
>>107693292Anon do you have sclerosis he literally spent 2 fucking days scrubbing and drowning that thing short of deriveting it.

Should I upgrade my 3090FE to something like 5070Ti or 9070XT or just hold onto it and hope 6000/10000 series will release with more VRAM and won't require a mortgage?I don't want to lose much VRAM coz I do some sloppening from time to time.
>>107693418I wouldn't trust nvidia with the 60 series
>>107693359>I could have done it in an hour. With what? The garden hose in the middle of a freezing winter?
HELLOI have never fucked around with undervolting and such thingsIs this ok? I've veen playing CP2077 with it for the past couple of hours and it's smooth as butter and never went above 55 degrees
>>107693383Shame that solid panel version doesn't have the PSU shroud.

>>107693400thats some fermi level of fuckup
>>107693418>I don't want to lose much VRAM coz I do some sloppening from time to time.hold onto it then
>>107693261Damn, I remember when we used to have chassis beyond micro/midi tower and had stuff like "big tower" or "super tower".
Is there any real differences between these CPU contact frames? I saw I can get a thermalright for a lot cheaper than the thermal grizzly which seems to be the standard, but it's all just milled aluminum right? as long as I check and make sure there are no electronic bits under the frame that would be crushed when I tighten, nothing else to worry about right?intel 265k if it matters
When will buildcores add 3D models for slim towers? I want to pretend to build pretty ITX builds to contrast my very real giant fat box.
is getting used PCs listed as "broken" in hopes of repairing them and taking out their working parts a good idea?
>>107693542There's no noticable difference between them so eihter will work
Do the 5600X and 5700X require more/different cooling than the 3600? Or will the cooler I have on my 3600 work fine for those as well? I'm keeping an eye out for a secondhand listing at a non-retarded price for these two. They're not the biggest jump up from my 3600 from what I've read, but it should help a bit with the 1% lows and it's really the only part of my current build that I feel would make sense the change. The rest is still chugging along just fine without a problem.
>>107693654It's not a substantial upgrade.
>>107693076I'm with youI don't even care if they go to $5k I'm still buying the xx9x gpus my current gpu is a 4090 and my next one will be a 6090 assuming it isn't exploding melting shidding farding dogshit that can't run old gayems like the 5090
>>107693678Huh, that is less of an impact than I would have thought. Certainly I knew the average fps wasn't that big of a jump, but the 1% lows also seem barely impacted. Was the jump from zen 2 -> zen 3 just not that big? I haven't really kept up with hardware much the past few years as you can tell. Would the 3600X->5700X be more of a jump with the 2 extra cores, or is it more of the same? And would the results be similar at 1080p as they are at 1440p like in your screenshot? Do the 5000 series cpu's at least run cooler than the 3000 series? Sorry for all the questions, but I really expected that going up a generation would've had more impact.
>>107693454I'd take it to the shower then and use warm water. Even better.
>>107693765>Would the 3600X->5700X be more of a jump with the 2 extra cores, or is it more of the same?Depends on the game, but more performance gains @ 1080p because the system is less GPU-bottlenecked.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-5700x/15.html
>>107693686Why do you think they will suddenly reintroduce physX with the 60 series especially when Nvidia proclaims itself not as video game company
anyone else become obsessed with input lag lately?
>>107693765It's about a 20% increase in gaymes, as would be expected, going from one ryzen gen to the next.
For a 7600x3d, will an AIO make any difference from a peerless assasin? It idles around 43 with the assasin
>>107693911i do not consent to vsync
>>107693911Just run DLSS and half it.
>>107693357Yeah i've been trying to keep mine going, I just ordered a full new set of dust filters.
>Hydro Ti 1000W is down to $240Tempting.
>>107693927Idle doesn't matter. Temps under sustained load do.
>>107693911A bunch of games have a deadzone problemhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsQ6g4ke3aI
>>107693959>I just ordered a full new set of dust filtersBased af, too many people upgrade to something new instead of spending a bit to keep an old case going another decade.
>>107693996>For a 7600x3d, will an AIO make any difference from a peerless assasin? It idles around 43 with the assasinAround 63 after a few minutes on this test. Not sure if there is a better program to test with, just googled one
>>107693678>Nvidia cards getting better results with intel CPUsHuh, AMD might actually be throttling Nvidia GPUs.
>>107693459Your settings are pretty conservative. You should monitor your frame rate and stability as you mess with the settings. With a -30% power limit, I can undervolt by -60 mV: If I push it further, I begin to have stability issues. I also raised my VRAM freq. to 2650 MHz. Past that, there were diminishing returns where I had to significantly increase the frequency, and therefore risk stability, to see FPS improvements. In your case, depending on the silicon lottery draw, you might be able to undervolt further and raise the VRAM freq., but it's not worth it unless you really want to squeeze out a little more performance.
I have a 1440p/180hz monitor and a 5700X3D/32GB system. Is a 16GB 5060ti worth the 60€ premium over a 16GB 9060XT? I am already budget constrained so I am thinking of just getting the 9060xt for 400€.
>>107693911esports. there are some stuff you can't do in street fighter without a high refresh rate monitor
>>107694114Yes, the 5060Ti supporting DLSS4 alone makes it worth the $60 premium even if they were tied otherwise.DLSS will give you better long term performance, especially assuming Nvidia continues updating their AI models (which seems likely).
>>107694114I see AMD is back to NVIDIA -$50. Their marketing team is something else. I'd buy whatever you want. This place is too retarded and filled with people that have buyers remorse to give an honest answer.
>>107694145The problem is that the cheapest 5060ti models also have worse coolers than the 400€ 9060xt (https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-R9060XTGAMING-OC-16GD) I can buy, which makes a 5060ti with an equally good cooler even more expensive. >>107694157>I see AMD is back to NVIDIA -$50They never stopped doing this. If I wasn't such a poorfag I would just buy nvidia and not even think about it at this point but alas. I've only used AMD gpus since 2011 but there is no point buying their shit anymore if you can afford better.
>>107694114Nvidia is developing technology to make GPUs last longer with upscaling and generation. So, chances are those cards will last longer or get better performance with software embellishments.
>>107694224It still wont make up for the lack of DLSS, but you do you my guy.FSR is dogshit in comparison to DLSS in the vast majority of games, and the games where DLSS is worse, you can run FSR on the Nvidia cards too.
>LTT put out a pc build guide for 2026>the ram he used cost $300 when he made the video >check price today for that same ram on their link>sold out at best buy (has been for weeks btw)>$450 on Newegg>$779 on Amazon not even 2026 and already outdated lol
>>107694114Depends on how you're planning on using the card. If you're only going to game and don't mind using OptiScaler to inject FSR4, then the 9060XT16GB will be fine. If you use software that can benefit from CUDA and want slightly better game upscaling and access to MFG, then the 5060 Ti 16GB is better. Overall, the 5060 Ti 16GB is a superior product, but if you won't use its extra features, it depends on you if the price difference is worth it.>>107694243You're just lying though. FSR4 is competitive with DLSS4 in image quality--its only shortcoming is its lack of support in games without 3rd-party software.
>>107694114AMD will abandon RDNA4 in 2027 like they always do
>>107694243>FSR is dogshit in comparison to DLSS in the vast majority of gamesDidn't FSR4 close the gap a bit?
>>107694271How does it look in Cyberpunk, Control, Dying Light 2 and Metro Exodus?
