first-ish
got this monitor for 20 bucks last night1080p 23 inch, practically brand new.
INB4 IT'S A NICOTROON THREAD AND SHE PROCEEDS TO DELETE IT
>>107713279Lol jesus
4oz silver for 32gb ram. Who wants to trade?
>>107713557Sure, I can get 32GB from microcenter for $200.I'll happily take your $350-400 worth of silver for that.
old photo but would it be worth sticking those 90-deg connectors into the card or should i just stick with the cables
>>107713524If you're happy, I'm happy with the monitor.
>>107713279I'm so fucking cooked bro
>>107713571It doesn't really matter for video cards with the older & safer 8-pin PCIe power connectors.http://www.jongerow.com/PCIe/index.html
Hey, does it still hold true that AMD cards, or rather drivers, generally work more out of the box with Linux systems than those of Nvidia?
>everyone said CPU prices would drop>they actually rose
>>107713578Shop elsewhere.
>>107713607I'll answer that question after you post your delicious tranny bussy
>>107713617>get raped elsewhere
>>107713557>32gb RAM>doesn’t list desired specs I’ve got a bridge of RAM to sell you, my good chum
>>107713617That costs more than my GPU by a lot
>>107713635And yet it's still less than half of the previously posted listing, and it's only ~$25 (USD) more expensive than the US MSRP at the moment ($470). At $675 CAD, that's only ~$490 USD.So sure, it's overpriced, but it's not almost $1500 CAD as implied in the original post. >>107713279
>>107713612>everyone said CPU prices would dropExcept Intel planned to raise prices for these LGA 1700 socket-compatible CPUs for a while.https://www.trendforce.com/news/2025/10/17/news-intel-reportedly-raises-prices-up-to-20-for-intel-7-based-raptor-lake-alder-lake-asia-market-hit-hard/https://www.igorslab.de/en/intel-tightens-price-screw-on-old-raptor-lake-cpus-to-become-more-expensive-in-the-fourth-quarter/
canada bros...it's so over
>>107713664they said $20, not $200
>>107713621Why don't you ground a powered crt with your tounge?
>>107713669Again, shop elsewhere Canadacomputers isn't having that problem.
>>107713568>>1077136296000mhz minimum.
Bought this ddr5 CL28 ram sticks for the pre insanity price.I know its AMD optimised, but I plan on using amd gpu and processor anyway.Its no longer in the shop, withevery other rams costong at least 4 times as much.Did I accidentally exploit a glitch or something, or is it normal for these rams to be this "cheap"?
im not gay but at this point I'd give my virgin bussy in exchange of the PC components im currently lacking as long as the dude's dick that will be fucking me is not bigger than 5"
>>107713703It's 6000MHz Gskill.
>>107713686I'd rather tongue your bussy, cutie
>>107713681It says rumors, not facts.Chips based on the Intel 7 node aren't very cost-effective to produce, they're reportedly costlier to produce than Intel 3 CPUs because they're made using a complex multi-patterning DUV lithography.
>>107713708u probably bought the last of their stock
Is it possible to get a decent GPU for a 500$ to 600$ price point? Ideally Navida, just because that's what I've been using my whole life.
>>107713607That is correct
>>107713763Decent? Yes.Good? Ehhh.
>>1077137635070 the most popular and bestselling modern gpu
>>107713763A 5070 probably
Rate my tism build, for travelingI would make a case to hold it all and it would unfold into a canvas to project on. I would also maybe have a desk mat that just has bumps on it so I could feel the "keyboard" The case would be around 4x7x14 inches~$400What would you do different?
>>107713769>>107713771>>107713782Is this JayzTwoCents reliable? I was considering a 5070. But he said it's not going to age well.
>>107713681>but intel saidreally anon
>>107713783think a portable monitor would be less hassle
Poor bros, rumors are saying the 5060ti 16gb will be very hard to find in the near future, I might be able to make some money reselling mine
>spend an enormous amount of money on 32gigs of ddr5, b850m board and 9600x, neither of which I actually need cause I ain't a gaymer but what if it's going to be even more expensive?vs>replace 3 3100 with 5 5600, maybe replace b450m with b550m, give my older parts to family and call it a daywhat do /g/? I mean I CAN afford option 1. but I don't really need it. these money could be spent somewhere else. I could wait a year or more for am6, too.
>>107713820The real question is why aren't you a gaymer, should join us and partake in some vidyagaming
>>107713807Can you find one that fits inside my ass?
>>107713836yea sure it's right here *unzips dick*
>>107713834I have 0 interest in modern slop and older gaymes can run on a modest hardware with 0 issues
>>107713692those are the old prices, just wait until the new inventory comes in, also half of those are sold out
I cant mount my 9070 xt Pulse into my Antec Flux Pro case. The backplate of the gpu is hitting the caseWtf do i do
>>107713841Are you playing older games tho
>>107713854every now and then I guess but I'm more into ps2 emulationwould 3100 to 5600 upgrade reduce stuttering? had quite a bit of that in fast paced titles like burnout 3
>>107713845If you actually believe that, then you're retarded for NOT buying one today.
>>107713869Probably, emulation is always CPU intensive Also you're a gaymer
>>107713617>>107713635Jesus dude. Buy something else.
Is this a good deal?
>>107713901He's in canada
>>107713907The mspr for that card is $749 USD so yes I guess
>>107713795Well it's $500 for a 5070 or $600 for 9070XTYou said you're an nvidia man so the 5070 is the only option I don't believe dropping down to the 5060TI 16GB to get 4GB more of VRAM is worth it when the GPU is much worse
>>107713795These techtubers like to spin a narrative and walk back their shit takes in the end.Someone made a collage of well-known reviewers shitting on these RTX 50 cards and praising them a few months later.Unoptimized, poorly coded games are the main issue; that's why some AAA games have suffered reduced sales or a less active player base.
How come the shit that happens in the 60s and 70s science fiction movies always ends up happening irl sooner than later

>>107713937Nice insightful post but you're replying to the nicotroon in case you didn't notice
>>107713944>displayport handshake issues along with a whole bunch of other issues Works in my machine, sounds like a personal problem.
>>107713937Well no shit. They make money off of AMD fanboy click bait then go play/edit on their 50 series. The funny part is AMD fans are paying for their 5090s. NVIDIA for me not for thee.
>>107713917Guess that'll be my new card.It should be good enough to future proof my PC for the next few years, I hope.I'm current on just the 3070. So it will be a huge upgrade.
>>107713491I am planning on upgrading my 2020 AM4 system to keep it as long as I still can and not feet dated:Ryzen 7 5800X -> Ryzen 9 5950XRTX 3070 -> RTX 4070/SuperFound two marketplace ads:- RTX 4070 for 450€- RTX 4070 Super for 550€I have a 650W PSU, any advice on which one should I get and how much should I negotiate it for?

>>107713950Helps everyone else know the charade some hardware reviewers are pulling for their personal gain.Both Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed disclosed that their video card affiliate link income mostly comes from Radeon card sales.
>>107713937>Someone made a collage of well-known reviewers shitting on these RTX 50 cards and praising them a few months later.Happen to have a link to that?I'm just not very tech savy myself. So I'm not sure where to get good information. >>107713950What are you even talking about?
>>107713979>Anus tech tipsYea that fucker has never had anything AMD for personal use, despite what he may claim. Hell people are still using the 3090 for editing over any 90 series AMD if in a pinch. I don't know how people fall for their shit.
what's the best hardware I can use with fully free software?
>>107713974Absolutely, the 16gb of VRAM makes it future proof unlike the non ti 5070 which only has 12
>>107713975If the 5070 is close in price to the 4070 Super, obviously buy the 5070. You get warranty, etc.
>>107713979Gotta love the constant flip flopping
>>1077138205600, keep old motherboard.
>>107713984kek, you're gonna get a box of rocksseriously tho, video yourself opening it
>>107713985>Both Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed disclosed that their video card affiliate link income mostly comes from Radeon card sales.no way, the nicotroon might actually be on a payroll what the hell those youtubers are doing the same shit that nicotroon does but on a mass scale
>>107714037i know, any time i buy anything over 50 bucks from amazon i record the seal breaking and box opening with my phonei should've gotten it off of newegg really, but my wife needed to also order a ton of shit from amazon, which has all already arrived
>>107714042We found out that nicotroon only shills for his shit spec AIB so in my opinion it's worse than being paid by AMD to shill here.
>>107714053I work at amazon delivery and stole your GPU, but you're gonna get a replacement anyways so it's a win win situation for the both of us, be happy anon
>>107714027LOL the ONLY place you see 9070xt on LTT is in their paid for shilled tech upgrades and even then a bunch of them still use nvidia cards
>>107713607yes but that's not the important part because it implies you can install NVIDIA drivers "the right way" and get the same experience as an AMD card>>107714042>no way, the nicotroon might actually be on a payroll what the helldo you really think nicotroon is driving any sales for AMD hardwarelmaoif anything he's probably convinced more people to go with NVIDIA than AMD
>>107714062ain't gonna lie, I've got a weak mental myself so if I had gotten an AMD GPU I'd have constant crippling buyers remorse and trying to find ways to cope with my purchase/gift, but I wouldn't be doing the shit that nicotroon doesmisery loves company they say, that's why he must want other people to also get an AMD card
>>107714065i'm very impatient i want my shit getting here asap:<
>>107714069>if anything he's probably convinced more people to go with NVIDIA than AMDThis ai video and anons calling amd gpu owners indians made me buy an nvidia card KEK, bullying sometimes just works
>>107713984That's one of the best 9070XT models, I own it. However if your 12VHPWR/12V2X6 cable is thick or hard to bend, you are going to have a bad time - use the adapter it comes with instead Essentially there's a little removable, metal, magnetic backplate that hides the power connector for 12V2X6 and makes it look very clean where closed, snaking the cable out the side etc.. but its not a huge space. Properly getting your cable in there, seating it without torque close to the socket which is known to pull back on the connectors, and routing it back and out can be tough depending on your cables. If it seems to difficult, don't chance your connector, use the included 12V2X6 to 3x 8-pin dongle they give you which is think and flexible by comparison. Good luck anon, its a great card and one of the best 9070XTs.
>>107714096Just walk to the store and buy it in person next time lololololololol
Just get a AMD GPU. The drivers are much better.
>>107714113No and no
Okay. Guess I'm set for a little whole.
>>107714111it was on sale
>>107713612well 14600ks were free for a period so yes ofc anything more than free is an increase
>>107714143Nvidia has melting connectors and broken as shit drivers on Linux & Windows.
>>107714181Anyways thanks for the free GPU
>>107714010in the real world outside your basement most if not all software and workflows are optimized for nvidia drivers and cuda, radeon cards are toys for playing video games on and nothing more... doesn't make him a shill.
>>107714099i heard this from many sources so i'm not taking my chances, i will be using the converter dongle that's included
>>107714010Is this nigga gay Why is he looking at the other dude like this
>>107714042Steam hardware next week, cant wait to update my table, only 2% to go until there are more Blackwell GPU's than all AMD GPU's combined, i know steve from hardware unboxed is gonna get an aneurysm when i send it to him (he blocked me when i send them the same table when this happen with Ada Lovelace)
>>107713848Return it and get an Nvidia card.
>>107714027>Gotta love the constant flip floppingYou do realize you SHOULD be flip flopping with hardware brands... Right?You guys DO buy the best components at the time of purchase and don't just buy based on brand loyalty with zero consideration for price/performance... Right?
>>107714260Yes but there's no other good options when it comes to GPUs other than nvdia right now, it is what it is
>>107714260Im sorry to tell you this but you should never buy an AMD GPU. price/performance has lead many retards to buy garbage like the 9070 xt, 9060 xt, 7900 xtx, 6950xt, Radeon 5700, rx 590 which we all know how terrible they have aged or will age because amd is a hardware company and the gpu space is software dominant
>>107714286Sure I'm just pointing out that someone complaining about someone else "flip flopping" between brands is the normal way to function as an adult and shouldn't be treated like it's a bad thing.
>>107714246>he blocked me when i send them the same table when this happen with Ada LovelaceKEK anon why are you trying to mindbreak this guy lmfao
>>107714300for the gpu space it should though, just look at what happen certain canadian because he diced to pay $1200 for 7900 XTX instead of $1500 for 4090
>>107714260Sounds good except for gpus championing the price/performance metric would be/has been disingenuous and there's been few reasons to buy anything but Nvidia for several gens.
>>107714068Pretty understandable with the Canadian pricing
I can't take drugs anymore because I'm on meds but I wanna drink a beer so insanely bad bros A dude on youtube talking about a chink mobo has a beer on his desktop and the temptation it's too much
>>107714343Damn they make it hard to want to go for the AMD option there in canada Where I live the price difference between a 5070ti and 9070 XT is 225 USD But this makes the fact that the nicofag has an AMD GPU even more weird
>>107714246RDNA1-3 were such terrible products. You had to be either braindead or have a very niche use to buy one. RDNA4 is just so far behind now in terms of feature support and polish that it's hard to recommend
>>107714204Lying to skew results and telling his viewers AMD is the savior of GPU just to not use them and even put a 5080 in his daughters PC may not be a shill by definition, but it is scummy.
>>107714242They are about to gang bang some AMD fanboys and profit off of it.
>>107714413RDNA1 was the only real terrible product. it doesn't even support mesh shaders. RDNA2 is when it got good that Sony, Microsoft, Valve, everyone wants to use it.
>>107714438No way
>>107714042These guys have been paid shills for years.
>>107714343AMD has already confirmed they're hiking prices for the 9070XT up to at least the same price as the 5070Ti.It's just that the US has a lot of stock to work through before the new prices come in.Other regions will see them sooner. Of course, this is after they paid all the shilltubers to talk about the amazing value for money.
But why does amd even pay all these youtubers for shilling if it barely yields results according the the steam hardware surveys I've got the feeling they barely make money off amd GPUs if any *Puts tinfoil hat on* I still think Nvidia might be behind the amd GPUs and maybe even Intel arc too so the government doesn't consider Nvidia a monopoly
>>107714528Starting next year AMD will be NVIDIA's mid to low end division. NVIDA is will only focus on high end and enterprise. Not only does that suck for competition it also sucks that NVIDIA features will no longer exist for those on a budget.
>>107713491My next desktop 'puter is Mac Studio, hopefully ram prices won't affect m5/m6 versions.
Oh based my pc made the OP. Guess I can die now with no regrets
Anyone know if there are any GPU waterblocks for the ASRock 9070 XT Challenger? All I see is one for the Taichi and idk if it'll fit the Challenger: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtm5IBF
>>107714621Why would anyone watercolor a midrange card?
>>107714428desu i think back to the arc thing, they were knowingly pushing buggy garbage to their viewers because they wanted more competition in the space, encouraging buying it "and just wait for the fixes" to boost a new arrival in the gpu market, and i disagree with this mindset but it might be the same with amd, who are also an irrelevant player in gpu...
>can't use 9070XT to run panoptikon to tag my images with AI Yeah this kinda sucks one of the things I wanted a GPU for To be fair CPU does it pretty fast and it's also not like it's something that needs to be done more than once or done quickly. But I was looking forward to it. I would have to switch to linux
>>107714560Holy shit anon you're onto something, looks like it's shaping up to be that way Because of the rampocalypse, Nvidia will soon cut production for the 5060ti 16gb, 5070, 5070ti and 5080, leaving only the high end product 5090Next year nvdia will announce they'll skip the entry and midtier GPUs entirely and will only release the 6090, or they'll change the name for it to take into the account the lack of existence for the 6050,6060, etc. and that's when amd and Intel will be the only option for entry and midtier cards I mean the CEO of nvdia and amd are cousins, so they're probably in cahoots for this to happen
>>107714642I will say Gamers Nexus never pushed arc. They said they were enthusiast level cards only. Everyone just really wanted them to be successful.
>>107714700They will make a 6080 if they make a 6090. You may not like the price, but it will exist.
>>107714560>Starting next year AMD will be NVIDIA's mid to low end divisionThat will be Intel.https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/nvidia-takes-5-billion-stake-intel-under-september-agreement-2025-12-29/
>>107714716Probably yeah, since they count the 80 cards as a high end product, but the fact that they'll only release 1 high end GPU and give it a different name it's still a possibility
>>107714734Holy shit
>>107714734Damn. Maybe AMD should have made a flagship.
>>107714706Maybe not GN but in general there was definitely this weird vibe of ritual sacrifice of the consumer's experiences for the long-term betterment of the gpu market. It was a bit fucked up. I don't think they were paid to do it at all though, they just figured our loss was a worthy sacrifice to make.
>>107714762Yea, GN said it's not customers responsibility to kick start a billion dollar enterprise. They are soft on AMD though, but whatever. It's not like AMD would be any better if in NVIDIA's position. You have to play nice when you are the underdog.
>>107714762It's definitely in GNs interest to convince people to buy an inferior product that gives them money over a better one that doesn't.
Hardware unobtainable , dream over.Even if I did I would not have time or motivation to gayme But the cope and illusion is brokenFinal step is to quit shit posting tooWhat nowThere is no fun copes left It's all so tiring
considering i spend at least 8 hours daily in front of my pc, and i use a build for 5 years minimum, i'd build a pc even if they cost $20,000. Probably would be my very upper limit though...
>>107714782>It's not like AMD would be any better if in NVIDIA's positionSo much this, It'd be the same shit just red instead of green
>>107714782>You have to play nice when you are the underdog.and then you can stop. AMD turned into niggerfaggots right after Zen 3 released and are currently selling 8-cores for $500. Anyone on top is just a complete dickhead, corporations are not your friend.
>>107714824At least Intel kept their i7's at around $350 during the entire quad core purgatory era. AMD have just been raising prices every gen and offering little in exchange. I wish Intel were on top again just because they rape you less.
how long does a GPU physically last?
>>107714836Silicon-28 (Si-28) is astable isotope of silicon, meaning it is not radioactive and does not decay, so it has no half-life in the traditional sense, unlike other silicon isotopes like Si-31 or Si-32. It's the most abundant natural silicon isotope (about 92.2%) and is crucial for stable applications, including quantum computing research.
>>107714805Rape bait
>>107713491Are companies refusing to ship products because prices are rising so quickly? I ordered a western digital nvme and the price has literally doubled since I ordered and they still haven't dispatched it?
>>107714844More rape bait
>>107714859
>>107714865I would never mercy kill my living sex doll, no matter how suicidal and miserable I make her
>>107714844> no half-life in the traditional senseTho you can use it to play Half-Life.
>>107714805I would probably do 10k but I would force myself to make at least a shitpost once a day to get my monies worth
TI and super cards shouldn't be a thing
