What's the point anymore? PC is dying. Only 40% of households now have a dedicated PC. The other 60% now just use tablets and phones.

Gaming will be completely mobile/streaming service within the next 5 years.
If you have a job that requires a PC, AI is going to replace you anyway.

The 13th and 14th gen of Intel CPUs has lots of issues and are inferior in terms of performances compared to Ryzen's CPUs released in the same year. If you really want to be an Intel fanboy, get their 12th or 15th gen I guess.

ryzen gets higher fps in games, but intel still gets hundreds of fps above what is considered playable, ryzen's advantage only matters if you're a competitive counterstrike player who makes money off of playing the game.

in productivity you'll find core ulta 9 and 9950x are just trading blows, so pick based on benchmarks of the application you use.

ryzen has had more issues dying lately, you probably won't have an issue either way but arrow lake seems quite stable right now

amd has a longer-lasting socket that is supported for more generations, relevant if you upgrade on a short cycle.

You really aren't going to fuck up either way... both are good

AMD IS the better choice for most users. Of course there are exceptions. If you're a legit AI dev/user/etc who needs CUDA (and when I say legit AI user, I don't mean some fat fuck pedo sitting in his basement making Tifa or Lara porn). Or, if you have specific programs that you have a real need for that require CUDA, then no, AMD is not the choice you should be making. But for all the retards out there, like me, who just mainly shit post and play vidya? AMD is perfectly fine.

except for having second-rate raytracing, horrible path tracing, worse upscaling, no mfg, less software support, no cuda, much worse ai performance, worse drivers, and costing 95% as much for equivalent raster performance instead of even being a compelling value, yeah radeon cards are great.

Yes, any swap would be a small gain for enormous money unless the cpu used the same socket 12,13,14 gen intel. Buying a new AMD MB and cpu, and possibly ram for 15 percent performance is insane.

>The root cause
Absolute fucking bullshit.
The root cause is they took alder lake's power delivery system that was already running on the upper limits of what is safe to power 16 cores, then added 8 more Estrogen cores and clocked everything even higher. It's a fundamentally flawed design. They coped with microcode like patching a leaky hull and are currently just hoping their cpus don't pop before people replace them.

I'm an intel fanboy but I still hate being jerked around like this.

1.55 V limit at low loads is fine, probably still kinda pushing the silicon but it's the same limit that AMD uses for their 7nm chips, and there hasn't been any widespread degradation of those afaik
you can argue "alder lake's power delivery system" doesn't extract the optimal performance out of the chip but it's not unsafe with proper limits in place

>you can argue "alder lake's power delivery system" doesn't extract the optimal performance out of the chip but it's not unsafe with proper limits in place
Those limits were exceeded with raptor lake. They are simply routing too much power through the ring bus to fuel all of those cores. They are now put in an impossible situation where the actual fix is dropping clock speeds until it's safe but they can't because it would be false advertising since they already printed those numbers in the specs. So they are doing as much microcode jewery as possible to drag out the failure.

both 9070 xt and 5090 are melty dog shit
the connector is complete shit with a 1.1x safety margin which is completely unacceptable by any reasonable electrical engineering standard. You can force 300 watts through a pcie 8-pin rated for 150w and it won't melt for reference.

The only reason the lower end rtx 5000 cards like the 5080/5070 ti aren't melting is because aibs (that aren't AMD exclusive) have already learned how to build their pcbs around this absolute disaster of a connector to minimize failure chance, but even those measured weren't enough for the 5090.

Hi anons, I don't usually visit /g/ but I just bought a prebuilt with a 5070ti. It hasn't arrived yet but I was thinking of also buying an AMD card, probably the 9070xt, since it seems like prices are about to skyrocket even further. Also because I was thinking of switching to linux at some point if windows 11 becomes too shit to use anymore. But I feel like if I'm going to buy backup parts it's going to be a losing battle since even if I can replace my GPU it's only a matter of time before something else fails that I won't have the money to replace. That on top of hearing about how Nvidia support for linux has been improving pretty rapidly is keeping me from going through with it. So i'm not really sure what to do now.

Sure, in a traditional forum they'd be banned by now, but I think the advantages of anonymity are worth having to deal with some of these retards. Their average shelf life is only about 5 years anyway, if not by suicide they eventually lose access to the internet due to being kicked out by parents or their parents just dying and not being able to enable their internet access anymore, as everyone like him is unemployed. Sometimes they even just get arrested like Randall Berka III who used to shit up waifu threads on r9k with his schizo spam but then threatened Biden and got v&.

tl;dr the storm will pass eventually, but then we'll get a new retard probably.

This is what a 4090 did to it's connector after two years of usage. Properly connected and everything done right. 5090 will be even worse since it draws significantly more power. All of them will be in the trash in 4 years or less and Nvidia will have to settle a class action.

Factory OC'd GPUs just guarantee a slightly higher minimum gaming boost clock speed; it doesn't determine the maximum overclocking potential of the chip, except for the premium cards like the ASUS ROG Matrix.
Both AMD and NVIDIA set GPU voltage limits that can't be bypassed without hardware modifications.

The chips will run safely even at their maximum GPU core voltage slider.
But you need to make sure the 12V-2x6 power connections are securely connected for the higher end RTX cards (with safe straight clearance before bending).
https://knowledge.seasonic.com/article/72-psu-recommendations-for-nvidia-rtx-4000-cards

Read this guide for basic NVIDIA overlocking and undervolting, but don't follow the exact voltage & clock speed guidance as they apply to RTX 30 series cards.

I've never been more excited about getting a job flipping burgers lmfao
>>
>>107737061
factory OC just means that the gpu is preloaded with a vbios that has a gpu core overclock of about 30mhz over the non-OC version. its a complete nothingburger and just a way for gpu makers to multiply their models to fill up the shelves and add a nonsensical $150 markup for the ""OC"' model

we might be stuck with our current hardware for a decade.
ocing will reduce lifespan even if it won't make it fail within warranty
ocing ought to be a last resort
it's not like we get much out of it these days. This isn't 2010 where you can get 30-40% out of an oc.
>>
>>107737138
If you're buying an RTX card, that guide teaches you everything you need to know how to undervolt + OC it.
That will set the GPU to run more power efficiently while performing close to the card's stock performance.
You can move on to pure GPU OCing after you're familiar with the program.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPpW9yXHvOU

Get either Unigine Heaven or Valley to keep the video card running under load while you make adjustments to the GPU V/F curve.
If you make changes while the video card isn't running under 3D rendering loads, they won't apply under gaming loads.

>>107737188
There's vram degradation you need to worry about if you're OCing. OCing increases the amount of current going through the vram and if you OC the core too, everything in the GPU will run hotter
>>
>>107737206
>what is "undervolting"?
>>
>>107737206
if your memory is running too hot it's gonna be running too hot at stock too
like those 3090s or whatever that had defective GDDR6X
>>107737222
you can't undervolt memory on modern NVIDIA and AMD GPUs
RDNA2 could do it through MPT
(technically you can do it on RDNA4 by setting a VID offset on the VRM but that's a very fragile method)

>>107737231
>like those 3090s or whatever that had defective GDDR6X
It's 2026, and these people are still FUDing the RTX 30 GDDR6X operating temps.
The dodgy voltage controller layout is much more likely to cause VRM failures (and actually happens at a noticeable scale) before any temperature-related VRAM degradation occurs.
>>
>>107737232
idk let me consult the magic ball
>>
>>107737245
i have no idea what actually caused it lmao i didn't pay any attention to that controversy

Never. Retards will pay the high prices. Even if it means they use to sell their food stamps and use the money had set aside for drugs. They'll pay it. And by doing that, the company have no reason to lower prices.
>>
>>107737231
Gddr6x was pretty solid and not impacted by any large scale failures
People were just afraid of seeing their vram running at 105C but nothing really came out of it even 5 years later. 3090s mostly failed due to bad solder joints, dodgy voltage controllers or in gigabytes case, overloading one of the power phases more than the other phases

im using a 5060ti 16 GB with a i7 8086k, pic related, and a 970 EVO plus 500gb
I understand my GPU is bottle-necked regardless but nvidia control panel says that its only using 8pcie lanes. (gen 3 lol)

question 1
>is this because my riser cable is broken or is it because the SSD is using the other 8 lanes for NVMe. I would think they were separate but now i wonder.

question 2
>if I go grab a SATA3 m.2 drive and open all the PCIe lanes to the GPU, would that be a clear performance gain in gaymes or is it a toss up?
>>
>>107737807
Those designs were fueled by cheap silicon.
Radeon started to fall behind when they couldn't release larger GPUs than NVIDIA at affordable price points.
Maxwell and Pascal were clearly superior GPU designs.
>>
>>107737836
im sorry but the 5060 ti is actually an 8x pcie lane card. Both nvidia and amd started this jewery a few years back during covid to save roughly 3 cents worth of copper traces per gpu and absolutely fuck people on older motherboards in the ass. The good news is, it's probably not a big deal on that gpu in particular.

These were sold as gaming GPUs, competing against the GTX 960; AMD did scummy things too.
NVIDIA was very late with this trend; they started with the RTX 4060.

If I do a budget upgrade to something like a 12th gen intel, I could carry over my DDR4 and get PCIe5.0.

Yeah the 460 is absolute crap, the 6600xt wasn't absolute crap, that's why people were upset with it I guess.

AMD definitely does scummy shit when they think they can get away with it. Does anyone remember the fx-9590 originally launching with some insane msrp like $700? For an overclocked 8350 with a 120mm aio.

seems to matter quite a bit for even the 4060 ti in some games, the 5060 ti may not be a large upgrade over that, but it is faster. So the delta should be even larger between pcie 3.0 and 4.0.

set RAM speed to 3200 MHz
set tCL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC to 16-20-20-40-60
set VSOC to 1.1 V
set CLDO VDDP to 1.0 V
set VDIMM/DRAM voltage to 1.35 V
set ProcOdt to 48 ohm
set ClkDrvStr to 40 ohm
set RttNom-RttWr-RttPark to 7/3/3

and i agree its all one big scam. their spec sheet was overly optimistic and nothing short of downclocking and undervolting can fix it, or if they somehow find a way to reduce the voltage needed for 6-6.3ghz by 0.15v across the board without impacting yields.

Realistically, what's the difference in performance between DDR4 and DDR5?

My motherboard VRMs died so I've used that as an excuse to upgrade from the 3600x I have. Anyways, I've seen the 12600kf go for as low as $180 CAD while the AMD equivalent are all $300 and more.

Even if you have only a 9070 XT/5070 ti tier of performance and play 1440p, you will be bottlenecked in multiplayer games and have much worse frametimes without x3d and ddr 5 ram on AM5. I went from 5900x on ddr4 to a 9800x3d ddr5 platform and it literally brute force fixed terrible stuttering and shit that would happen in Hell Let Loose a badly optimized multiplayer game with 100 player matches.
Average performance charts are heavily skewed by reviewers mainly testing single player gpu heavy games that don't work the cpu as hard. It all depends on what games you play.

That's still VID and is exactly what the CPU is asking for taking into account the powerplane resistances. The only caveat is that there can be transient VIDs much higher than what's recorded since it happens too fast for hwinfo64 to log.
the one you're talking about is the base VID that hasn't been modified by ACLL (pulls up VID) and TVB voltage optimization (pulls down VID based on temps)

>>107738457
>That's still VID and is exactly what the CPU is asking for taking into account the powerplane resistances
no, VIDs in hwinfo are an estimate of what voltage is actually hitting the CPU based on what the motherboard has configured in DC LL (which should match VRM LL, but often didn't), and the current the CPU think it's pulling on each core
the VID request sent to the VRM is much higher
everything you see in software monitoring on intel CPUs is fake, it's all an estimate and it needs to be configured right or it will lie to you
>the one you're talking about is the base VID that hasn't been modified by ACLL (pulls up VID)

DC LL is used for voltage and power estimation, it's cosmetic only

also i didn't switch identical ram sets to the dimm slots you recommended

>everything you see in software monitoring on intel CPUs is fake, it's all an estimate and it needs to be configured right or it will lie to you
asus defaults the DC LL to automatically match vrm LL for quite a while now and their VIDs nearly matches the die sense voltage readings. that's what I base my numbers off of

ACLL does have an impact on VIDs & vcore as do TVB VO

I just like having the best of the best. Or near it. Stupid thing I know. I was looking at the 9800x3d anyway because I can't afford a 9950x3d.

My monitor is 144hz, so what about 144fps? I'd imagine I'll be in the 80-100fps range on modern games.
>you can go with 16 GB but personally i would feel bad about hitting the RAM limit that easily on a modern platform
I'm getting conflicting answers. You're saying that I'm essentially RAM bottlenecked, but the other anon is saying that there's very little difference.

>>107738474
Makes sense. Quite the hustle. At least you still have a 3DS XL. I think the only games I cared about having the N3DS for was Monster Hunter. And I don't even remember the games that needed the N3DS either.

I just hope it's not a special N3DS 2D XL.

i get that urge, i settle on a 2-3 gens cycle, ill build another high-end pc when the rtx 7000 series or 8000 series drops. Couldn't imagine doing it every single release. Gotta savor your hardware for longer even when it's a little bit (not a lot) dated

16gb is fine for now but things can get hairy if you have stuff open or if a new windows update comes out and increases ram usage
its best if you get 2x16gb of ddr4 if not 4x8gb is fine if you do enough research and buy the exact same memory chips that you own (not ram model but chip model #)

>i skipped the ones that I didn't explicitly find/find parameters for
no worries, if it booted it's probably fine
>but I think it's running @ 3200 now according to cpuz at least altho it doesnt show it for all slots
all slots are synced to the same speed
>also i didn't switch identical ram sets to the dimm slots you recommended
also fine, but the memory controllers trains A and B channels separately, so that can bring a little extra stability with mixed kits

an X570 tomahawk shouldn't have any problem running 4 sticks at 3200 even without any of those adjustments

>asus defaults the DC LL to automatically match vrm LL for quite a while now and their VIDs nearly matches the die sense voltage readings
yeah which is good, but you aren't going to see those 10 microseconds where the voltage was mispredicted and the CPU ended up being hit with 1.65 V
it's dangerous to request that much voltage from VRM, even if the CPU predicts it will be pulled down to a safe value
of course it was gigaretarded of intel to ship with a system like that in the first place, but there's a strict 1.55 V limit now
>ACLL does have an impact on VIDs & vcore as do TVB VO
yep, i know, and the new 1.1mOhm default + 1.55 V limit is obviously gonna give you worse performance than the old wild west settings that motherboard manufacturers were screwing around with

>>107738540
go with 16 GB if you feel like that's enough for you, personally i would add another kit
>>
>>107738548
16gb is the most common config per steam hw survey in december 2025 as fucked as that is. Though 32gb is right behind.

Nahh, it's not one of the limited edition ones, it's the regular black and blue one. Honestly I got pretty lucky with buying the console since I bought it for like $100 used then like 8 months later Nintendo halted 3DS manufacturing and prices skyrocketed.

>>107738552
>>107738557
Thanks. OK, so I just need more RAM in the future but the difference between DDR4 and DDR5 is neglible.
>>
>>107738551
I got it when it came out, and it was tough to get during those times, so I feel like it's a little justified. Maybe I'll just get a new GPU while they're still at okay prices and just hope things will settle back down by next year.
>>
>>107738621
That's good. Limited editions ones are all I got for the 3DS series, so I can't really part with them even if I barely touch them anymore and I could get some decent money for them.
The covid era probably helped with those prices skyrocketing too.
