wd, toshiba or seagate hdd?

Recently upgrades from 5800x3d to 9800x3d but now im having fomo bc gpu prices are going up and people are saying rtx 5090s will cost 5k end of year?
Im currently still running an rtx 3090 and im mainly playing Simulators in VR so 24GB VRAM is a must.
Really dont know what i should do here. My options seem to be to buy a RTX5090 for 2750€ or a used RTX 4090 for around 2000€ or wait for the RTX 6000 Series but As things are looking to me rn it seems like nvidia wants to price gpus with high VRAM out of consumer hands. What do you guys think? Should i wait or just bite the bullet and sell the rtx 5090 when the 6000 Series drops

>>107744596
I've bought all 3 over the years, just get whatever is cheapest. I've had failures from all 3, the failure rate isn't any different in tests/studies.

nvidia just isnt going to release the super models with the current market conditions

>>107744617
If you want a 5090, get it now. Otherwise you'll be waiting for the 6090.

>>107744617
tough choice, since the performance uplift for the 4090 is already insane. I do not think waiting will be a good idea. It seems that everyone within the tech space has agreed that consumers should pay more for the priveledge

5090 definitely does open up things that are impossible on any other gpu besides maybe a 4090
5080 is the meme card, it's just a 70ti with +5-15% bump. Which is kind of the same thing with 70 to 70ti but at least then you get more memory for the edge cases

>>107744694

>>107744822
70ti is 25% faster than the 70

>>107744827
That's absolute best case scenario (excluding vram issues)
It's usually significantly less, especially at the resolutions people buying these cards will be using.

>>107744822
Lets say you fire up alan wake 2 on path tracing at 4k using perf mode dlss

I mentioned in the last thread I just upgraded the GPU. That's an MSI GTX 1080. I swapped in a 5060 ti 16gb today. I built it for a friend and the 1080 was getting a bit long in the tooth. I told him the time to upgrade is now.

>>107744822
>5080 is the meme card, it's just a 70ti with +5-15% bump
The 5080 has full 2/2 nvenc encode/decode engines whereas I think the 5070 ti is cucked with 2/1 probably the biggest difference. Does it matter? Probably not to 98% of users.

>>107744764

I'm not the OP, but there's a reason why Kryosheet is comma-separated from PTM 7950.
It's a separate recommendation from PTMs.
That OP isn't saying Kryosheet is a PTM 7950 TIM.

>>107744906
the 5070 is pretty much exactly like a 3090, that chart shows the 5070ti as more like 35% faster on average, please read the charts before you post retarded shit sensei

>>107744917
if you had the money to buy a 5080 you not upgrading to am5 a bit earlier is definitely a mistake

>>107744917
At 1080p? Somewhat. As resolution goes up, the bottleneck disappears.

>>107744917
>DDR4
>1440p/144hz
Probably a lot. If you're near a Microcenter get the 7800X3D combo.

>>107744466
I wanted to build out a 1080p couch gaming rig but prices are absolutely fucked in Europe (and I guess everywhere). Cheap is that goal and I guess it's looking like I could build an entirely 2nd hand AM4 build with ~350-450€. However, there's a Chinese minipc that's got a Ryzen 6800U paired with 32GB soldered LPDDR5 for 280€ that could be used with an Oculink connected GPU which seems like a more future proof but still relatively inexpensive choice. Have I gone completely fucking insane? 16GB of DDR5 is easily 300-500€ here and I don't see it changing soon. Also, I have 0 interest in overclocking or RGB whatever so that's a non-issue for me.

>>107744899

you what just buy at heavy price anything that fit specs

>>107744938
the 5070 performs within 1% of the 3090 on average so you can just extrapolate on that, which means this chart shows the 5070ti is about 35% faster on average, an even bigger gap

Guys, I just installed a sata sdd on my prehistoric computer, can I install windows in the sata sdd withing windows itself so I don't need to make a bootable USB? I don't care about any of the files I currently have, it's fine if everything gets deleted
Also, I need to reduce the CPU utilization as much as possible, do you guys think something like those customized OS like tiny ten or ghost spectre would be recommend or should I just use stock windows 10?

>>107744956
The 5070 is not a 4k card though. What about other resolutions

>>107744925
>Kryosheet
PhaseSheet

>>107744974
the scaling changes by a couple of % but nothing significant

>>107744966
Just run the windows installation ISO from inside windows and target the SATA SSD as your new OS drive.

You'll probably need to change the boot order in your BIOS so it boots to your SSD instead of the HDD, but once you do that it should be good to go. You'll then be able to move drag and drop anything you want to keep from your old OS HDD to your now OS SSD, then you can format the old HDD and use it as bulk storage.

>>107744984
The 5070 hitting less vram limits doesn't affect anything

>>107744927
I'm indeed retarded, I thought it was the same from the previous thread saying the 5080 is 25% faster, forgib. The 3090 is indeed roughtly the same gaming performance-wise as the 5070.

>>107744997
not to the degree that it's swinging averages by 10%+

>>107744966
>Guys, I just installed a sata sdd on my prehistoric computer, can I install windows in the sata sdd withing windows itself so I don't need to make a bootable USB?
No, it will only install on the drive Windows is already on. There might be a workaround but you should really just use a USB.
>Also, I need to reduce the CPU utilization as much as possible, do you guys think something like those customized OS like tiny ten or ghost spectre would be recommend or should I just use stock windows 10?
Absolutely not, never trust a customized iso from some indian kid. Debloat Windows yourself.

I don't think even a year or two from now any game would need more than 16GB for 4k.

I think Hardware Canucks did a video on that with a few older Intel CPUs in there. 9060XT is mostly fine with 10./11. gen Intel and up, Ryzen 3600 would be the cutoff for AMD. It was tested in 1440p though, so 1080p will probably limit it a bit harder

How do you even select a mobo? Is there any meaningful difference in a b850 and x870 board? Also, why avoid Asrock? They seem to be fairly popular boards?

If I gave you $420(+/-) what's the best 4TB NVME, what's a good one around that range for both Windows and Linux?

Yes, I'm the Samsung 990 Pro guy from the last thread agonizing about his 2nd drive - I haven't opened the box yet for that. Just keeping my options open.

>>107744917
Depends really. My monitor is a only 75 Hz 3440x1440 and I use a 5800x with a 4080 Super. Even with that power, you still need frame generation and DLSS scaling to run path tracing. Any CPU bottlenecking is minor for what I play. Gay-tracing™ does add CPU overhead but again, the GPU will also be taxed way more. I wouldn't put anything more than a RTX 5080 into an AM4 system unless it was a 5800x3d or even a 5700x3d chip.

If you're just doing 500 fps Fortnite gaming, then I would be concerned out CPU bottlenecks.

Native might be using TAA. DLAA disables TAA.

the 5080 and the 5060 ti (and 5050...) are the only blackwell cards that enjoy full access to their silicon. Everything else is cucked. Cores and rops turned off for no reason except to cuckold you. So that you can watch your wife be fucked by Jensen. I will not buy a cucked card.

>>107745094

Not really, just more PCI lanes maybe, unlike with Intel where you need the higher chipset to overclock. Always check it has what you need.

>>107745115
5080 is ram cucked. Mobile 5090 (actual GB203 chip like 5080) has 24GB of ram.

>>107745088
TAA uses power too. DLAA uses tensor cores unused by TAA.

>>107745094
>How do you even select a mobo
step 1: choose chipset based on features wanted
step 2: find roundup that a bunch of mobos using said chipset and pay attention to VRM temperatures because most other differences are negligible
step 3: google potential motherboards in a vibe-based reasonable price range and find old reddit threads complaining about each and every one of them
step 4: buy one at random hoping the reports of failures and other random complaints are just user error

that has nothing to do with the gpu it's just the size of the memory chips and people are already modding desktop 5080's to have 32gb ram because it's so easy to fix. You might have an argument if the 5090 mobile somehow had a wider bus which would mean they actually artificially cut down the desktop version but they didn't, it's still 256bit.

Make sure all the bracket and stand-offs are absolutely the correct ones for your CPU. Make sure it's torqued down properly and evenly. Test fit the radiator and fan before you do anything to ensure it will physically fit the case. Plan all the wiring for the fans, pump, module, etc.

If you must have Radeon, the 9700 XT is much better than the 7900 XTX in terms of image quality. But I can tell you're a retard, because if there's anything you actually needed 16 core CPU, you'd be leveraging GPU, in which case Nvidia is by far the better option e.g. for Blender or any other kind of compute

If you use FSR, frame gen, or RT then the 9070 XT is likely superior as of today, the 7000 series won't receive new the features. And certainly it's better value at $600-700 than the 7900 XTX at $800+. But all depends on pricing and your use case.

That's essentially what I did because I was so paranoid about this connector. Figured it was better anyways because it was so small and I have more room to wiggle it. Have to check the PSU side too though thanks.
Pic rel is also how it's installed routed now.
I also limited power by 80% because I didn't want to bother with undervolting.

I still have not bought storage and had my eye on this rather expensive SSD since it had not been hiked (almost) unlike the others, while the rest kept creeping up and are almost the same price as it now, but I was still holding.

Same reason they still support turing. nvidia is the one leading and innovating new tech, but this tech needs to be backward compatible so devs and the industry can implement while still being able to hit most of the pc marketshare.

AMD on the other hand does not gain anything from pushing PC gaming forward instead it does it best to hold it back because the R&D radeon deparrtment ts paid by Sony so the ps5 pro and ps5 need to still be relevant
