It's like, the Youtube people are like "DOOM DOOM DOOM" and then everyone spends their life savings on already obsolete silicon, stockpiling it where the prices reflect that the sky is falling and creating a price spike that feeds itself via artificial scarcity.
You had the OpenAI guy basically admit that they bought all the hardware they could get their hands on, and that it's beyond the ability for civilization's power infrastructure to even accommodate them. Yet there's still the perception that this is going one way. They are sitting on aging hardware they can't use with no idea how to make money using their product. It's ever investment scam of the last 30 years.

I checked LGs site and they now updated so I can get free shipping again
with codes and discounts that brings a G5 55" w/ stand to 1468€, the stand alone is 140€ value - other retailers 1666€ with stand or no stand model, S95F 55" same price
I could borderline wing a 55" as a desk monitor although I need more space and it's fucking huge, 77" is full blown floor only or a roll mount

other current prices S95F 77" 2775€ - G5 77" with codes 2447€ (No stand btw)

benefits of 55" is better ppi

>>107741976
>I have a 77" G5. The G5 comes with a flat mount.
One of the most J'ish practices LG has ever done I don't intend to wall mount which means I literally have to buy a stand, LGs 77/83 stand for these models suck ass (angles upwards alot), might aswell buy a floor stand at that point for slightly more, wonder how the fuck you solo mount it though, seems like a pain in the ass, which leads me to might aswell just 55" it up

did you see both in store to compare? S95F G5 what do you think? I don't know still, too bad they are not side by side there

>These bastards are heavy and would not even recommend you try to put one on a stand solo
I mounted a 55" just fine before but I wonder how much pain in the ass a 77" is and how the fuck do you mount that on a stand

>Either TV is top notch.
Samsung has had history of oneconnectbox shenaningas and bad qc, more failure points, and the s95f and s90f has some color bug currently also and whatever else, just slightly nervous, I can't do a screen that black screen flickers, just insanely bad, which might lead me to LG being the more reliable TV/Display/whatever

>>107741991
you can easily fit a stand on a 77" tv with the use of the box but if you have to hang it up on a mount it would be a nightmare
again LG not including a fucking stand is crazy work

>>107742064
they stack another layer to work in tandem to produce better brightness and reduce burn in. but the drawback is they use more power and may have gray uniformity issues.

Yea, but they're using the tech to make brighter panels, not identical brightness panels.

they consume more power at low brightness but less power at high brightness. like how amd idles vs loads.

buy a 9060XT now and use linux. it's that easy to go from poorfaggery to 16GB lightspeed.

How can I stop thinking about my build dying and having to upgrade?
I bought a 5900x for cheap in very early 2024, it was a panic buy, so I didn't upgrade to AM5. Instead I also had to grab a motherboard because it turns out both my CPU and my motherboard somehow just died. I came to this conclusion by testing out my older CPU (3600) on a different build and the 5900X on my older motherboard.
Anyways, because of that sudden death I couldn't figure out (weirdly enough the RAM was fine), I'm paranoid. I know things degrade. But I'd like them not to degrade too quickly. It's been only a year and my side panel thingy I bought for my case (Lancool 216) already died. Sure it's 15 bucks, I can buy another one. But for fucks sake it just stops working like this. I just plug things in there over USB 2 (because my motherboard is a shit that only takes 2 USB 3 ports and one of them is the newer one, so I can't have 4 frontal USB 3 ports, only 2 and a USB-C) and now only one of those USBs on the extra panel work.
Now an upgrade seems pretty impossible and I've been using this RAM for quite a while. DDR 3600, CL16 ballistix 4x8. That's right 4 sticks, they've been running without issues for years now. The motherboard is ok I guess (MSI MPG Gaming Plus B550). And the CPU is the one I mentioned before. But I can't stop thinking this shit is going to suddenly die at some point. I made sure not to set everything by default, no PBO. I use XMP, that's it. Since I'm going to stick with this build for longer, should I bother grabbing a really good AM4 motherboard at this point?

>>107742157
yeahhh thats way too much text

>>107742142
nothing to do with the subpixels LG gonna release a monitor with true RGB stripe subpixels this year, monitors and tvs are RGWB (or some variation of it)
Samsung releasing new monitors that have almost rgb stripe subpixels this year but other than that those diamond shaped subpixels
but you can almost fix it by just brute forcing ppi though buy 4k 27"

>>107742079
They are so close it doesn't matter really. I chose G5 because it has a better pixel layout for text and the HDR is supposed to be a bit brighter. The G5 has certified G-sync, but I think they just pay for the cert and both will do G-sync fine.

>>107742170

not sure how much stock to put in this month's numbers in general

looking for a 16:10 monitor with decent colors. Currently using BenQ RD240Q and the colors are horrible, they are either washed out or over saturated.

Budget is $400usd

can someone tell me why my oled looks less clear than my ips monitor? I feel like it's not just text that fringes but literally everything feels like it has chromatic aberration on it, not just text

I have never seen any close up comparisons in windows for example, not exactly many people who use 55" as a desktop monitor, but big if true, did you compare in store before?
and if you are using a 77" at a distance that would be kinda insane talking text clarity kek
>HDR is supposed to be a bit brighter
yeah the G5 is brighter

G5 55" w/ stand is 200€ cheaper than a S95F with discounts.... G5 55" costs the same as a non discounted PG32UCMDR kek, actually slightly less even

>>107742181
>the weird chromatic aberration effect oleds have
you probably looked at (glossy) qdoled there up close, might even be sub 4k ppi too?
this effect destroyed my eyes on a glossy qdoled before, matte reduced it but still visible at arm distance with 32" 4k
woleds won't have this effect

>any ETA on the LG monitor
this year some time

>>107742185

>>107742213
those msi 1440p 240hz sub 400 dollars on black friday in usa

>>107742249
qdoled subpixels + low ppi + glossy

if you still can see it and your eyes are getting fatigued your last option is buying a woled display instead

>>107742277

LG G5 should be output with a PowerMac G5 controlled by a Logitech G5

It's better, but it's not actual RGB

It moved from RWGB to RGWB

which does improve text clarity, but it still isn't as good as true RGB stripe.

The Samsung has a weird pixel structure that can leave green edges on text due to the diamond shaped pixel array. Clear text cant totally fix it. Most TV reviews are for movies and don't take into account using a TV for a PC.

>>107742097
For that price get a better WD BLACK for less money, or a Samsung if you're not on Linux.
RM850x is better but you already bought the PSU.

>>107742403
If you're not find waiting at least a year or two. Maybe even 3-4. Then just buy a G5 today, keep it for 5 years, then replace it with 2nd/3rd generation RGB OLED if it's good.

I just bought a 9070 XT to replace my 3060 Ti and I'm already feeling buyer's remorse
I don't know why
I'll likely have to switch to Linux when it comes but that should be fine, W10 is EOL and I really don't care for W11

>>107742403
is that a tv or a portable theater

>>107742418
as long as you play lots of video games with it you should be fine with the purchase

>>107742418
why feel remorse? everything is better. even watching videos is better because rdna4 decoder is better than old nvenc.

>>107742418
Why? 9070 is ok. You had to know of it's limitations before purchase.

>>107742418
Rip the band-aid off and switch to Linux asap.

so to summarize: 4K matte WOLED with cleartype fix is the best for fringing issues?

>>107742418
Switching to one OS is dumb. Have a W11 install purely for gaming, and a Linux install for everything else.

For 4K I found it's:
IPS Local Dimming HDR Dual 160/320Hz $400-500: One of MSI MPG 274URDFW E16M, KTC M27P6, AOC U27G4XM, KOORUI S2741LM
IPS Dual 160/320Hz $300-350: GIGABYTE M27UP, there may be others.

>>107742418
Anon if it makes you feel better I did a similar switch and just for convenience sake it's already better.
I can undervolt with 2-3 clicks instead of installing a program, there's no spyware I have to dodge with a third party application to install drivers, there's no broken and performance killing overlay and I can use linux without thinking of switching back all the fucking time.

>>107742942
Microcenter's combo is $680, $400 more for 64GB instead of 32 is a scam, don't take it.

Is it necessary to enable v-sync in-game if g-sync is enabled? In other words, does g-sync supersede v-sync or are they meant to work together?

>>107743055
Together. They also recommend capping the framerate 2-3 frames under your max refresh rate.

does it make sense to go with 9060 xt over 5060 ti for linux? afaik nvidia drivers should be good now.

>>107743055
Just run your games at max frames your PC can. Why would you build a PC and put it in a cuck cage limiting it's power???

how is 9070 midrange and 9070 xt high end when both perform within 10% difference, like if you push your 9070 it will probably make it close to 5% or lesss, who makes these threads lol

>>107742973
I need color accuracy more than I need high refresh rates. 75hz is perfectly adequate for me.

>>107743119
AMD makes no high end. They said so themselves.

>>107743131
are we in the same thread?

>>107743119
Both are midrange and the 9070 is a gimped SKU made to prop up the XT version by comparison.
The OP doesn't say "high end" if you're trying to be an smartass faggot.

>>107743139
NTA, but AMD confirmed in 2024 September that there will be no high end GPU for 2025. They will be focusing on low-mid end to gain market cap.
What you call high end is mid. You've been gaslighted.

>>107743158

>>107743326
And? Bottomline you should be aware that the advertised speeds only work on Windows, which the OP tries to convey.

Bouta put this badboy together. Yall plop the mobo in the case and build from there right? That is most efficient? I have a 3 slotter GPU and last time I put that in a case I was pretty POd

what would you pick if they cost the same (pro tip they literally cost the same)
realistically speaking they should cost 1/4th of the tv
if a tv is 1500 bux at 55 the 27 equivalent should be 1500/4=375 bux
but it's not, the only benefit monitors have is the hz
soon enough tvs will hit 240hz too

after the tvs life span as a monitor is done, or you replace it, you can retool the tv whever you want in another room, or sell it, it has apps and speakers and whatever else shit you want too

you literally can't lose

take the tv pill today!

no i always build outside the case first because i've had doa components in the past. in fact last time i built a pc i bought one of those external power switches that just shorts the power pins for you to start up, but you can also just run the case leads down to the mobo.
after everything is confirmed working uninstall the GPU, put the psu in, then motherboard with cpu/hsf/ram already attached. then put the gpu back in last

/v/ here actually. For less than $60 you're putting yourself in a tight spot. Your best option at that point would be an 8Bitdo if you can deal with this color schemes.For less than $60 you're looking for a model under the Pro 2.

Not that anon but have you found other benchmarks showing its been fucked in Linux?

I literally have one installed in testbed new PC and the other is in its box still, and I have until Jan 31st to return.

While yes I dont do linux, I actually might considering the headache that is Win11. Only downside is me figuring out how to make all my NTFS drives to something else if I ever do switch over but I doubt it, I am almost turning 40 and I dont have the patience to figure out the quirks of why one certain thing refuses to work in Linux (like I had back in 2011-12 when the distro I was using did not like one specific SATA port on mobo for some fucking reason and some other insane quirk I had that drove me insane)

When will you goys learn your place? You WILL be forced out of PC for good. Corporations cannot have you running your own AI models and creating your apps and programs. You WILL be forced out and pushed into the herd with the sheepbeained NPCs and WILL be happy with just your cell phone and tablet like a good compliant little GOY.

Since the SSD is brand new, it might be a compatibility issue between the drive’s controller and the motherboard's power management.

Could be an issue with the superfetch too. Temporarily disable SysMain and Windows Search in the services.msc panel. If the usage drops to 0% immediately you got your culprit.

For me it has to have an IO shield, at least 2.5Gbps ethernet, BIOS flash button, and better if it has "EZ" PCIE eject features and such. Then all else equal I'd take MSI over the other brands. If it has a debug 7-segment then that's huge but don't expect it in any affordable boards. Avoid Asrock for Zen 5.

Ugraded a PC I built for a friend from my old MSI GTX 1080 to a 5060 ti 16gb. They tried an RC 9070 XT 16gb but apparently, AMD is broken on some old game he plays. Maybe a Warhammer variant? Dunno... Regardless, that card went into my 14600K build and I have my 1080 back.

The 80 is about 25% faster than the 70ti at 4k specifically, the difference is way less at 1440p and 1080p.

i caved and bought a 9070 xt
i'm only on a 10700k cpu with 1080p so my performance will be limited, but still better than having a 3070....

This shit actually pisses me off. Has nobody learned from inflation? They don't have to bring prices down. God I'm so fucking sick of this shit. IS NOBODY GOING TO FUCKING DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ECONOMY. WHO THE FUCK NEEDS TO PROFIT OFF OF US TO THE NTH DEGREE.

just installed new RAM, went from 2x8 to 4x8. Since it was used RAM, any tests I should do to verify that it's not fucked? Computer already turns on and looks to be upgraded on task manager. HWiNFO shows identical as my previously installed RAM.

Microsoft removing old features while not even giving you the option to restore them is ass and things will only get worse cause their CEO is a retard.

Is there any reason to buy a "K" Intel CPU if you don't have a Z-series motherboard to pair it with?
I'm planning on buying a 12700k but my motherboard is an MSI Pro B760-P. Should I just get the non-K version instead?

How bad is the ARC B580 for linux

>>107744071
I like the idea of cleaning up the context menu, but they should just let us customize it.

I just got a new Gaming PC. What are some games?

>>107744145
Isn't their CEO a pajeet?

I'm sorry but 4k is not a meme, not if you have sharp eyes. It's way less tiring reading text on a 4k monitor because your eyes aren't trying to focus on pixelated text. I have a 1400p and a 4k monitor next to each other and just looking at the windows background between the two there's way more visible detail on the 4k screen.

The base clock is much higher on the K chip but the boost clock is about the same. If you don't even want to overclock and you just play games, just get the 12700 if it's significantly cheaper.

No.... no, the base and boost clocks are the same. The "K" designation simply means it's an unlocked, overclockable CPU.

>>107744238
wise choices all-round

>>107744142
I quickly scanned over and all I saw was the reviewer getting questioned why the Samsung 990 Pro was having issues in Linux. Then they had a back and forth about TRIM in Linux and possibly the SLC cache not acting as SLC (half-full status) and then people asking what their disk config setup was.

What a rhetorical post/reply, are you a bot?

When people say you don’t need a 5090 it for workstation, what does that mean? The fuck is a workstation? Not even my IT department uses anything intensive beyond a thinkpad level.

>>107744215
I remember a long time ago people were using dgvoodoo in Ragnarok Online to remove the blind effect (it's just a simple 3d filter) from one class so they can do a crap ton of damage.

>>107744147
the 12700 has locked SA voltage
you won't get the same memory speeds on a non-K 12th gen chip

What's the smart play here, /g/? I just got a MSRP 5090 to replace my 4090, and have no real need for the 4090 anymore. I have a potential buyer for $2000 which would cover most of what I spent for the 5090, but then again I heard the 4090 were going to increase substantially in value soon... what should I do?

>>107744303
>workstation
workstations are often contracted out and built with components that are compact and never meant to be reopen. They are exclusively build to be used sealed, until EOL and replaced with a new box. They do come with a high amount of VRAM/RAM, but it won't matter because your IT department likely bottlenecked everything with inefficient tools nobody uses.

When higher end workstations are purchased, they still use special workstation components and aren't meant to be opened, but look identical to gaming PCs.

>>107744215
>Injecting shaders in a multiplayer game where visibility matters is le bad
Yeah, obviously. All competitive multiplayer games should block shader injection.

>>107744303
If you use blender or cad or video rendering the 5090 speeds up everything while not costing as much as PRO cards.

>>107744332
wait

>>107744332
I would hold, the 5090 prices seems to only be going up and that will drive the 4090 back up.

>>107744332
Selling now- guaranteed cash. Waiting- gambling that it might go up and you might time selling it correctly and you might find a buyer at the time, too.

Your call. Me, I'd take the money now and let it work for you to create more money.

>>107743719
Finished reading that link. There is more than one discussion going on, for the relevant posts:
>somebody notes how the review shows the drive performing well in synthetic benchmarks but not in real world usage
>somebody suggests it might be outdated firmware, it's later discarded
>someone ponders why it might be, and refers to a Tomhardware's review showing how it drops in performance well below others like the SN8100 on "non-SLC-buffered writes"
>someone else says Samsung drives perform like this in Linux for a couple generations now and it's not just the reviewer but his own experience and others'
>someone replies there's nothing special about Linux from the drive's perspective and remarks Samsung's drives "native TLC write performance is so much worse, you're more likely to feel the impact than with some other flagship drives" after exhausting the SLC buffer
>he later suggest the drives should be tested empty because of this and other reasons and asks the reviewer if he's using fstrim after every iteration for the intended results
>reviewer replies he indeed did it that way
>they are left puzzled and wondering if it's thermal throttling or something else
So nothing. Also not worth summarizing this shit for this thread, you would call it AI or whatever anyway, but it's already done.

>>107744375
How is it gambling? It is a sure thing there is no card coming to beat a 4090 at a lower price any time soon and GPU prices are about to skyrocket on top of that

Frens, I’m an autistic saver, I am worth $400k at 28 because I max my roth/401(k) and also do side investing. I’m a fucking scrooge but I do love gaming. Is $6k too much of a budget for a new rig? My 1070ti is usable but I wanna live a little and make something special.

Again, your call. Wanna make God laugh at you? Tell him your predictions. When we were all shitting over DRAM prices, I bought 10 shares of Micron stock. A little over that same $2000. It was just over $200/share. It hit $315 today. Do I sell or wait?

Same situation. Guaranteed money now or take a chance on the future. Is Micron gonna crash? No way. Until something happens and it does. I'll watch it on Monday and probably sell.

Roll the dice and make the call.

you need nvidia for blender. it's practically non negotiable

>>107744399
I guess these days pc components aimed at professionals are so ludicrously expensive that a typical "workstation" is just a high end gaming pc.

Then the machines that cost tens or hundreds of thousands are for people with special tasks in mind and they're prob in some sort of server rack solution.

>>107744470
No, AMD is only ok for games. Seriously do not bother if your focus is productivity.

>>107744470
Blender is nvidia territory. There are a few AMD favored productivity programs out there, but they are few.

>>107744492
OR, sell and use that extra thousand dollars in other investments. Or sell half. Sell 2/3 and end up with a free thousand dollars in Micron stocks. See, there's lots of options and different people should do different things. The important thing is to know all your options.
