These shitty bundles coming with only one stick of RAM are gay. Are there any similarly priced bundles out there but with two sticks because I can't find any.
Why is the 5080 never recommended in this OP?
>>107750208Value I guess. High end cards are generally expensive, especially due to lack of competition. That being said I like my 5080.
Are there any recommendations for a 32 inch 4k monitor? It will mainly be for watching films so I would like one which has good colours and HDR. No need for high refresh rate, although that would be a bonus.The 4K ktc monitor in the OP would be great if it was 32 inches.
>>107750223>That being said I like my 5080.me too
>>107750233If it's just for films you'd probably more want an oled tv like a g5 or s95f even if they're larger than 32"

>>107750208its the first 80 card to lose to the previous gen's 90 card
>>107750267Nvidia cards will also go up in price, just in a month or two.
>>107750277so?
>>107750267Yea, but the 9070xt is an AMD flagship, which is a bit sad, therefore needs some place on the chart.
>>107750283so its a scam card plain and simple

>>107750312AHAHAHAA AMDJEETS BTFOD
When is CES so I can get hyped for new releases?
>>107750302The 9070xt is meant to perform slightly worse than the 5070ti and to outperform it in terms of performance/$. Saying it's a flagship product implies it's in the same segment as the 5090, which it obviously isn't and is a pretty retarded thing to say.

Looking to get a 9070 XT before the price hike, is a 3x8pin variant worth it? Compared to the cheapest 2x8pin model, it's only like a 5% difference (not in the US). Also are there any specific models I should avoid? I heard Gigabyte use shit thermal compound.
>>107750338pc gaming is ruined for 2026 so best to put your expectations back into the box
>>107750245I already have an old 40 inch TV there and there isn't quite enought space for it.
>>107750338What do people even expect? CPU info is the only possible thing, and waiting until anything new would release to build is suicide right now.
>>107750376Not really. even at idle it sucks because gddr7 stays in p0 more often
>>107750376Power per frame is really good.
>>107750378>6-7
>>107750451it uses more power than a 7900xtx in vsync
>>107750410>>107750434Well I really only need a new cpu..
>>107750399>3x8pin variant worth it?shouldn't really be a consideration, most people undervolt their 9070XTs and lower the power limit a bit. It'll be fine as long as it isn't 12VHPWR.>I heard Gigabyte use shit thermal compound.They seem to have fixed the issues their early 9000/5000 series gpus had with thermal compound leakage. Their solution could be worse for long-term durability than other models, but it probably isn't. If you buy a 9070XT gaming oc, you definitely need to set a custom fan curve (stock one is way too aggressive), under volt it and lower the power limit by a good amount. It isn't worse than other 9070XTs, but the factory settings are quite retarded.
>>107750280So the OP should reflect the current situation or a potential future situation?
>>107750434there's gonna be monitor releases too
compact SFF/MFF build: RX 9060 XT 16gb $519, RX 7900 GRE $643, RX 9070 $790. Best value?
>>107750470It should walk a middle ground, ideally informing about the current situation but try to be more reflective of general pricing trends. Reacting to all price fluctuations in every market around the world is not realistically doable. This OP is fine and is probably the most accurate it's been in a long time.
>>107750511though i wouldnt consider the 9070 xt or 5070 ti high-end, they are inflated price mid-range. Still good cards but not sanely priced when compared to previous generations in sheer specs.
>>107750457Same, fren. I don't really want to wait months for Nova Lake or an actually twin 3d-cache 9950 to build when my warantees are ticking.
>>107750497Tough. I got a Powercolor 9060XT since it was by far the smallest model and due to its low power draw, stays quiet enough while gaming. RX 9070 is also very efficient but depending on the case/card, might go beyond SFF.I'd go for the 9070 if you can compromise on size, or 9060XT if you can't. I think the official FSR 4 support for the 90-series will be important in the future
What's a decent stress test for a coffee lake CPU (9900K)? I know there are ancient threads out there but it's mostly just people getting to know the tech for the first time.I noticed some slightly bent pins while reseating the shitty cooler this morning, also got a little bit of thermal paste (non-conductive) in the socket but the PC boots normal and doesn't crash when under load, haven't really stress tested so far.Is Prime 95 AVX Small FFT still the most demanding stability/stress test?Before I undervolt the CPU I'd like to know if the socket is damaged resulting in instability.
>>107750497those prices seem way too high tbqh
>>107750549run y-cruncher benchmark 1b-5b
>>107750549in the coffee/comet lake era i didn't even use smallest ffts avx as a test because it just pushed cpu's way too hard. i settled on OCCT SSE Small Data Set Extreme instead, it's a decent bit more demanding than cinebench, which is already more demanding than most any real-life workload, but if my oc was stable through an hour of OCCT SSE Small Data Extreme, I considered it "Good Enough".If you want absolute power virus stability though yes, p95 smallest ffts is still king. Minecraft java edition remains a great ring stability test for 6+ core skylake cpus kek. You generally aren't going to get the ring truly stable unless you drop it to at least 4.2ghz since it's a fundamentally flawed design.
>>107750521Agreed, they're more like the upper mid range cards of previous generation. But the market is what it is in current year, I guess.
>>107750549prime95 small fft is the go toue5 shader compilation is known to crash intel cpus so thats a good test as wellcracked aida64 also has a cpu test do avx
thoughts on what I plan to panic boughted?https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JnPCBq
>>107750587why not just buy a ps5
>>107750587fuck the haters noctua cooler is based
>>107750544thx, it's a pity there's no model between the 9060 XT and 9070 with max efficiency
>>107750587someone buying such high end parts does not ask for advice from a mediterranean scallop picking message board
>>107750319Torrent is a nice case, however many had complaints about the PSU's position. I would also consider the solid version of Meshify 2.
my nh-d15 is chilling in my old closet rig since it's ill-suited to cool my current cpu. High chance I'll bust it back out for my next build since my current aio will be garbage by then...
>>107750587>NH-D15Welcome to the club, king
>>107750567thanks, I'll try that, the newest version only has "normal" or "extreme" as options thoughprobably can't run that stock, one core is almost at 100°C after a few minutes>>107750572>ue5 shader compilationgood to know, I have to see if I even have an UE5 game, if not it doesn't really matter anyway lolmight try with UE4
>>107750598What do you mean? With that budget he can barely buy a 5090.
>>107750549prime95 smallfft with avx/avx2/fma3 disabledprime95 smallfft with avx/avx2/fma3 enabled can also be used but don't run it for longer than 3 minutes since it pulls way too much current>Is Prime 95 AVX Small FFT still the most demanding stability/stress test?specifically for the 9900k, 192K fixed fft size with avx/avx2/fma3 enabled is even harder than smallfft >thermal paste (non-conductive) in the socket but the PC boots normal and doesn't crash when under loadthe worst you'll see it that memory becomes less stable but since its non-conductive, it probably doesnt matter at all as long as the pins still makes good contact with the CPU pad>>107750623>one core is almost at 100°C after a few minutespretty normal for a 9900k. its thermal design is terrible and barely good enough to keep it from throttling at the stock 4.7ghz and 1.2v under load.
>>107750607I'm still using the nh-d14 I got for $30 second hand six years ago, and it doesn't seem like I'll be replacing it within the forseeable future.

>>107750462I tend to run my GPU at full blast (max power limit, 100% constant fan speed). I really can't stand the once-in-a-blue-moon crash that undervolting causes, so you may say that, if anything, retarded factory settings aren't retarded enough for me.
>>107750553regular prices in eastern europe
what CPU cooler do you guys recommend for the 9800X3D?
>>107750623you can download wukong or ffxvi demo on steam. both are heavy shader compilation.
>>107750662>100% constant fan speedyou're stronger than most
>>107750675basically anything will workeven a 212 evoif it's a tower cooler (single double doesnt matter) or has a radiator it will workthat thing sips power...
>>107750675240mm aios are as cheap as aircoolers now and better.
>>107750587>3.7K>9070XTVery expensive midrange build.
>>107750675You probably went for it because it's popular, not because you need it, so it will usually draw like 50W or something. If you want to chase meaningless numbers in benchmarks, get a 360 AIO. Otherwise, any decent double tower cooler will work.
>>107750630>the worst you'll see it that memory becomes less stableif it passes the stress tests, I'll just assume it's alright then>pretty normal for a 9900kyeah I've heard that too, that's why I'm trying to undervolt the chip or reduce PL2. during the OCCT stress test it drew a little over 200W and I use a Dark Rock Pro 4 which is overpriced mediocrity ímo
>>107750718The RAM is what's driving up the price, but I've already boughted that for cheaper so pcpartpicker's estimate doesn't really apply here.
>>107750678thanks, good tip
>>107750685sorry konata, i'm not wearing rubbers with you
>>107750723How reflective are those prices of what you actually payed for the hardware? Cause a lot of it seems kinda inflated.
>>107750738how did this gremlin become a generational sex icon?
>>107750722you should be able to undervolt it better if you fix it to 47x all-cores to get rid of the 5ghz on 2-core boost and increasing loadline calibration (LLC) to a medium-high value while reducing the vcore voltage target with a negative offset. i wouldnt recommend using power limiting if you can avoid it since fluctuating clock speeds under load can worsen 1% low fps
>>107750747i like flat girls
>>107750602What did you not like about the PSU position? Also is the meshify 3 XL or the North any good or better than the Lian Li Lancool 217? Kinda torn on these.
>>107750722also keep your ring/cache ratio at the stock value which should be 4.3ghz by default. ring/cache drastically increasing vcore required past a certain point. e.g. my 9900k was able to run 5ghz core and only 4.5ghz on the ring/cache at the same time as any higher would be unstable at the same voltage causing memory errors/corruption. it would require more vcore to be stable while providing negligible performance improvements.
>>107750723>Get a 9800X3D rather than a 9950X3D>Get a normal CPU cooler rather than a Noctua>Get 32GB of RAM rather than 64GB>You can now get a 5080
>>107750741I got the RAM, SSD and motherboard at a discount, so ~$450 dollars less.
>>107750765>cut your ram in half>cut your cpu in half>now you can get a marginally better gpuhuh seems good
imagine if reviewers used dxvk results instead of native dx11 results.
>>107750787cute
>>107750779In that case, you should get 128GB of RAM and a 9060.
Last time I'll ask these questions as I am about to order. So in regards to the cable melting issue on the 5090, I know a native 16 pin connector with the PSU helps reduce this, but the only good PSU I can get is a CORSAIR 1200W HXi which does have ATX 3.1, but doesn't have actual native 16 pin port on the actual PSU, but the 12v 2x6 cable plugs into two 8-pin ports on the PSU side. I am not sure if this is bad news for me or not. Not sure on the type of tower to get, I'll list my specs out once more and see what you guys think, I am ordering it via PC Specialist in the UK so I can only get the cases on there. 32GB PALIT GEFORCE RTX 5090AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3DPCS FrostFlow 200 CPU CoolerGIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE64GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 6000MHZ CL30
>>107750848Im not him
>>107750850>So in regards to the cable melting issue on the 5090, I know a native 16 pin connector with the PSU helps reduce this,You'd think so huh but no a splitter actually helps by reducing the amount of current that can possibly go through one wire as well as cutting the number of horror show interfaces down from 2 to just 1 (the vhpwr in the psu on a native connector is also liable to melt)Challenge your preconceived notions next time.
>>107750848>In that case, you should get 128GB of RAM and a 9060.That would cost a whole lot more though.
did i dun goofed? i just bought an acer nitro rx 960xt 16gig for 260 eurobucks to replace my inno3d rtx 2060 8gig.
>>107750779>64GB will have zero effect on anything you're doing vs 32GB>9950X3D benchmarks worse than 9800X3d in literally everything besides productivity.>The 5080 is about 40% faster across the board.
>>107750864welp, meant to type 9060xt
How much is too much RGB?
>>107750874How do you know he doesn't benefit from more ram or cpu cores?
>>107750850I wrote picrel a while backanyway the issue with split connectors on one end is that its harder to ensure the resistances are the same across all six 12v contacts
>>107750883Because if he was working in something that required productivity, he'd not need to cheap on the GPU.
>>107750890Not everything productive requires gpu? Could be compiling or something. Hell not even all vidya use cases benefit from more gpu. My ideal rig has 128gb 32 cores and a 5060 ti class gpu with 64gb of vram (multiboxing eve online doesnt care about raster)
>>107750864That's a very good price for a 9060xt, 16gb but those Acer cards are quite obviously bottom of the barrel cheapshit. Maybe test it and tell us if there are any issues.
>>107750759>What did you not like about the PSU position?Managing cables can be a bit tricky since the PSU is on top and has limited space, more rigid cables can cause some headache. >Also is the meshify 3 XL or the North any good or better than the Lian Li Lancool 217?All of them perform well. Personally, don't like the wood accent trend, so would go with the Meshify 3.
Do you guys think all GPUs will get the price surge or just the high end stuff like the 5090? I've been thinking about buying a RTX 5060ti 16GB but fuck, I built my pc just a little over a year ago with a 8GB GPU so I'm really on the fence, there's also other stuff unrelated to pc building that I'd like to purchase.
>>107750860That was kinda hard to follow exactly are you saying that the advice I was given was wrong and that having an adapter/splitter (?) is better? >>107750889So my risk of having the connector melt is not going to be reduced?
>>107750931all gpus will become more expensive
>>107750937>having an adapter/splitter (?) is better?Yeah
>>107750931this question is getting old now. its being asked every 15 mins.
>>107750937The type4 terminals on the PSU side is more robust due to their size but since it has a lot of play (scrimped cables can move about 1.5mm within the plug), it makes it harder on the GPU side 12vhpwr as the current will probably be quite uneven on a random install
>>107750931I don't think anything less than 12gb will become more expensive (since nobody wants those except people who are desperate). But since you're looking to upgrade your 8gb, you may as well wait until you can afford something 16gb+
>>107750948...then why was I told that having a native 16pin connector was better? Also with the way the PSU I chose does it, should I be worried?
>5070 Ti already gone up in price by $50FUUUCK
>>107750964>PSU I chose does it, should I be worried?The dual 8-pin makes the psu side a lot safer since the ol' pcie atx sized terminals can take more abuse, but at the same time the 12vhpwr on the gpu side will be at higher risk of unbalanced current and likelier to melt. Whereas with a 16 to 16 pin connector, both ends can melt equally well but the current will be more balanced since there's only one plug head on both ends being inserted.
>>107750981remember sam altman? The jews?Remember?
>>107750981
>>107750750thanks, power limit is always a bad idea, I set a custom frequency/voltage curve with my GPU as well>>107750762thank you, would've stuck with that, my memory only runs at 3200
>>107750993I've been sick since Christmas and I haven't re-registered with my bank yetCan't just go and pick up anything in person on a whim
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfRLeCEdvq0&list=PLyReHG5dDxXXSgTLdfvdzJpFei941MX6Hthis guy will increase your tech support power level. not me though, i already know this shit
>>107750991>but the current will be more balanced since there's only one plug head on both ends being inserted.And yet the amount of current a single wire can experience is twice as high.I think the risks are generally higher on a native 12vhpwr
any good mATX cases that allow for back connect?
>>107750981>he didn't panic boughted the GPU TIME TO PANIC FOR REAL THIS TIME
>>107750923I think the whole PSU situation would be solved if we normalised power boards.
The last good gpu release? 1080 ti.The last good cpu release? R5 3600.
>>107751013there's only three 12v lines in a type4 8-pin so having two of them is equal to a single 12vhpwr's six 12v lines
>>107751023>poster located in India
>>107750991Shit....Wait, there is another PSU available on the site, called the Hydro PTM PRO(ATX3.1) 1650W, which is ATX 31. PCIe 5.1, and 12V 2x6 ?It is more expensive and the wattage is totally overkill but think this is the safer buy?
>>107751027Can all the power from both 8 pins go through a single pin of the 12vhpwr connector? I figured it would be split 50 50 meaning only the power from 1 8 pin can go through one pin on the gpu in an absolute worse case scenario.
>>107750992What the fuck am I supposed to do when I have to call my bank in a time where they aren't working due to holidays because it was frozen and half of my budget for a card was on it and I'm still barely sleeping laying all day spitting snot?
Hi /pcbg/I’m finalizing the parts list for my first build and would appreciate some insight from people who know more than I do.https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zKCv89Budget is $3500. I live in the US, not within driving distance of a Microcenter. Primarily for gaming (though I care much more about performance than ray tracing), video editing, and streaming. I’m aiming for 1440p.A couple key concerns of mine are the PSU and airflow. I want to make sure my PC will never draw more power than mu PSU can supply, but I think I’ve gone overboard with the one I’ve chosen. I’m also much more comfortable with air cooling than liquid cooling - I’ve never used a liquid cooler before and am concerned about maintainence costs, which is why I’ve elected to go with air cooling, but I’m worried about the fans I’ve selected being either poor value or ineffective for the components I’ve selected.I’d also like to ask for advice on choosing a case. Looks are secondary to airflow for me. I’m currently torn between the Meshify 2 and Torrent, but I’m open to recommendations, especially if they perform better.Thank you, sorry for any stupidity
>>107750948can't wait for sxf time skip

Did a little shennanigan. Swapped my RX 9070 for a 9070XT. Wasn't sure it would fit, but it did (barely)!
>>107751052Make a very bad and irrational decision, obviously. That very bad and irrational decision being that you buy it anyway. With what money, you may ask? Why CREDIT of course! Or in installments at an interest rate that double's its price over the course of the next 3 years. THAT's what you do to save yourself $50.
Hey PCBGIs there an actual science behind capping 3fps below the refresh rate for gsync to work well or is it just a random number thrown there? Or is it dependent on the monitor itself being able to handle it?I have a 360hz monitor and I'll be honest, I don't think I ever play anything that reaches those FPS except old games. I have a 4070 super and except for multiplayer games I don't play such as marvel rivals I don't think I get 200fps on almost anything (well, maybe I can get games like Falcom garbage to play at higher framerates but that's about it). If something, I'll be using 360hz sometimes with RetroArch and that CRT simulation bullshit, which doesn't work well with FPS caps.However I'm checking that people are just throwing out sometimes -3fps, sometimes -24fps, I don't fucking know what the cap is supposed to be or if it's some placebo bullshit that is already handled automagically but some people are stuck in the past, like hundreds of other tweaks out there. What is optimal and not bullshit here?
>>107751037yeah FSP is pretty reliable brand so that should be good. they even sell psu designs to other brands like corsair etc.>>107751048corsair splits the 12vhpwr into exactly half when routing to the dual 8-pins meaning every 1 wire on the 12vhpwr becomes 1 wire on the type4 psu connector so both are split 50/50. other manufacturers who use three or four 8-pin per 12vhpwr will have to do a solder joint bridging several psu cables into a single 12vhpwr wire since it wouldn't have a 1:1 ratio of cables like on corsair's

Any non-hardware reliant alternatives to beacn software? Trying to swap up my audio setup but man it's just so nice.
>>107751076it was discovered and recommended by blur busters back in the day iirc-3fps is only valid for monitors with the gsync hardware module and they found that freesync monitors required -5 to -15fps (maybe -24?) to have the same effect
Will amd announce the 10k cpu series on CES or is it too early?
>>107751064I had to freeze it and wait for a new debit card because someone in my family fell for a phishing scam.>>107751073It's closer to $100 than $50 by now and good luck.
>>107751110Still way too earlyRumors say that Q2 2026 is when zen6 mobile will be released while Q3 is where we'll see desktop zen6 releasing
>>107751110the am5 was supposed to be supported until 2027 the difference between 70xx and 90xx was like 5% in perf so that doesnt bode well for fast iteration, neither does nvidia buying all available tsmc high end nodes
>>107751059go for Arctic case fans instead of Noctua, and a B850/X870/X870E board should save you about $150 or more you could invest in a X3D cpu. The PSU is also massively overkill, you should be able to get good 1000w PSUs for about $150.
hey there /pcbg/ im coming with a couple of questions. currently have a 5700, and im looking to upgrade for better gaming performance/all around nice to haves. I've been getting some sound crashing/artifacting issues in what I've been told is a RAM access issue that could also be CPU related. my options seem to be to get a 5800X3D and keep the current AM4 platform or basically start from scratch and go AM5, likely a 7600X or 9600X but possibly a 7700X/9700X.is Ryzen 7 that much better than 5 to justify the 100-150 price increase on processor alone? I do use my computer for gaming as well as some music production and digital art. pic related is my system
sapphire pure 9070 on my b450 mortar 3600 ryzen w 16gb ram i think hell yeah i only need to spray it with white paint
>>107751127Zen 6 will definitely be on AM5 and will realistically be released in late 27/early 28, and Zen 7 will most likely still be AM5, that socket will last until the 2030s easily.
>>107751118>>107751127Maybe I buy one of the cpus that are about to be announced and then don't look at hardware for the next 5 years kek
>ryzen 5900xt out of stock or massively hiked in price tooWTf
>>107751144That ram is definitely a bottleneck, did you enable XMP? It's not a great time to upgrade, but if you move to AM5, consider the 7800x3d, ist the best value CPU on that socket. 5700x3d/5800x3d are not being produced anymore and they go for $300-600 or so used, they're not worth buying.
>>107751144You also have to factor in current RAM pricing, for 64GB you have to fork over more than $700.Also post HWInfo overview, Ryzen 7 could be multiple processors.
Best value CPUs for Blender right now?>t. R7 3800X
>>107750439>The RTX 5090 offers a massive performance boost, but its efficiency (performance-per-watt) depends heavily on how it is used:>Traditional Gaming: Efficiency is roughly equal to the RTX 4090. While it is 25–35% faster, it consumes 28% more power (575W vs. 450W), meaning the "frames-per-watt" remains flat.>AI & DLSS 4: Efficiency is up to 2x better than previous generations when using AI features like Frame Generation, which produces high visual performance with less hardware strain.>Architecture Potential: It is technically more efficient than the 4090 if power-limited (undervolted), but NVIDIA pushed the factory settings to the limit to achieve maximum raw speed.>Compared to Others: It is significantly more efficient than the older RTX 3090 (Ampere) and AMD’s RX 7900 XTX, particularly in Ray Tracing workloads.>Main Drawbacks: It has high idle power consumption and requires extreme cooling to maintain its efficiency under load. Thank me later.
>>107751311did you AI gen that?
how good is A770 compared to other cards in its price range?
>>107750456Grim.

>>107751333>cards that can't run ray tracing or are extremely shit at it are better LMAO
>>107750456it uses more power than a 7900xtx in vsyncyes, a 5090 is going to use more power while it rips a 7900xtx to shreds in any application>oh, you're trolling, my bad

>>107751410If a 5090 uses more power than a 7900XTX at 4k 60fps then it will for sure use even more power at 1440p 144hz.
>>107751059copypasta to bump the thread, can safely ignore
is pcbg the chug of /g/?
>>107751435>>107751443>>107751444You guys are trolling or something? It's about performance per watt, not performance at locked frame rate. 5090 can achieve more FPS than 7900xtx with lower watt cost per 1 FPS.
>>107751476nigga you retarded
Chat we're approaching 10 years of ryzen.. what the FUCK has intel been doing this whole time?
>>107751489well they have been doing a lot of fucking up and most recently got nvidia to drop some spare change into their begging cup
>>107751487RTX 5090 can achieve more FPS at lower watt cost per 1 FPS. Prove me wrong.Here's analogy for your dumb ass: comparing 7900xtx to rtx 5090 is like comparing a scooter to a tesla. Your current argument is>LOL LOOK AT TESLA! IT USES MORE ENERGY!!!Completely ignoring the fact that it can drive much faster. You're just strawmanning and it looks retarded.
The 5090 is very efficient, anyone claiming otherwise is retarded
>>107751531it's just the butthurt schizo bot shill, anon, you'll get used to it after a while.here, look, it's spamming low quality posts so it can bump the thread count to claim jump the thread >>107751539
>>107751531if it uses more power at 60 fps, why would it need less power at 1 fps?
>>107751562Because it can achieve way more FPS? Divide max FPS of both cards by power drawn.
>ordered the last non-overpriced 5080>your order has been cancelled due to inavailability
>>107751590I meant vice versa, obviously. Got a bit too excited
>>107751590if it's more efficient, it should also draw less power at 60 fps

>>107751656you did alright
>>107751656If you have to ask that, you in fact did for going with ayyymd
>>107751656While prices will go up even more, the best time window to buy stuff is already closed since it's significantly more expensive than before Christmas now. So kinda.
>>107751662At least his house won't burn down (until he got Nitro+)
>power limits 5090 to 400W>barely loses performance How 7900xtx keks will respond to this?
>>107751651I'm european. ;_;
>>107751686it limits the max power draw but it doesn't solve the low or medium load problems. its still pulling over 150w just at 60fps. amd can be as low as 80w with driver updates now.

>>107751723look at the bright side, ram only increased by 5x and not 80x from its all time low pricing (so far)
not gonna lie my previous gpu was an amd and it scarred me for life.. i dont know if im touching that shit ever again

what faggotry is this now?
some little timmies pc stops working todayTheir daddy brings the pc to the repair shop who copy all the porn and personal files for later useThey'll call up to the dad and say "so yeah the ram is malfcuntioning, that'll cost you 1k € to fix" Then little timmie had to go to the library to entertain themselves
>>107751800Probably just trying to get rid of the 5070 stock since it's such a shit card that people passed on to get a 5070ti instead
>>107751783>>107751790I've had mostly Nvidia cards (all the way back to the Riva TNT days) and three AMD cards a 5850, 580 and 5700XT.I never had a single issue with any of them.
>>107751795you can definitely hear those fans rev up on a ventus
>>107751809it's an ok /mid/ card for the poors though
>>107751222People flocking back to AM4 to build new PCs, and 5800X3D is extinct.
>>107751790>>107751830idk if I got unlucky with the gpu or if the brand is just dogshit but yeah, I'm stay away from XFX at the very least kek
>>107751769Why is that majority of benchmarks show rtx 5090 performing way better than 7900xtx?I don't get it, something's fishy here bros...
>>107751830jolly good. i've built a lot of PCs and the only cards that had issues were cheap-ass budget models in the olden times, the fans usually crapped out if they saw a lot of hours.
is a pc stand for the floor worth it? i have it on the wooden floor for years but was wondering if it would be better to have a little stand with some small holes for better airflow on the bottom
>>107751863Is anybody comparing those two cards in terms of raw fps?
>>107751783>>107751790total oposite for me, went from a nvidia to radeon card and since then sticket with their cards without any issues
>>107751878you mean you've been letting it suck more dust straight from the ocean floor all this time? get a stand aaready
>>107751863a 5090 costs 5x more than a 7900xtx for not even 2x perf.
>>107751888>more than double FPS>less than double powerI rest my case
>>107751890yes it's been fermenting in the dust for years, i do clean out the dust but i know it would be better to have a stand probablysomething like that? or something with small hoels in it? so that air can get better out
>>107751888you got trolled you fuckwit
>>107751910anything works just keep it raised
>>107751906yes but all you need for the great performance is not to be /poor/
>>107751907>gets deboonked by his own graph
>>107751854I don't know, never had that generation of card. >>107751864I've had a 6800 die on me and a 9800 GT, I've also killed a couple of cards with overclocking or BIOS flashing. To be fair the 6800 was passively cooled, which is such an obviously bad idea.
>>107751906People who buy 5090 don't care about price-performance, only performance.
>>107751940>6800had one, BIOS modded it to unlock memory pipelines. it did not die on me though i did make sure it had good airflow.
>>107751969You didn't even have to do a BIOS mod you could unlock the pipelines with Riva Tuner.
>>107750277>5070ti barely beats the 4070ti
>>107751984>didn't even have to do a BIOS mod you could unlock the pipelines with Riva Tuneryeah but BIOS modding was more fun.
when do I upgrade my 3080ti
>>107751991The performance gap is quite significant. 5070 vs 4070ti is more pitiful. It should've been called 5060ti super.
>>107752021
5070ti strix for 1200 bucks? it's the only one I have in region, jesus
>>107752021when 6080 launches
>>107752029even 4070 not-ti vs 5070 seemed like a weak jump in performance
>>107752039so never?
>>107752050unless you have to play path traced games at 4k RIGHT NOW you just dont need to upgrade
>>107752021RTX 60 or 60 Super
>>107752011Mine was actually defective, not just binned so I had to toggle it. Though the only games that ever got artefacts were NFS Most Wanted and CoD 2.
>>107751863they're not even of the same generationthe 9070xt isn't on here because it would be above the 5080 and it's $500same reason the 5070TI isn't on here, it'd be below the rx 7900xt
>>107750312The fact that you have to post a video from decucker that's over 3 years old shows how much of a low IQ dumb faggot you really are
G5 vs S95F as a pc monitor the cope continues>Buy Samsung and get questionable QC, matte coating, one connect box which introduces more levels of failure>But noo just downgrade to the S90 and avoid the box and matte screen and get QDOLED!>Only 65" is QD here>Next year there are rumors to the S90H series being matte>Next years S90H will be QD in 77 only>LG has best coating in the bidniss returning to tradition of the C4 coating (G4 had MLA with raised black levels and pink tint like a QD almost)>other alternative wait until the summer where S95F 55" s will go on sale and be as cheap as a G5 55" or cheaper>S95F 77 already sold out in retailer

>>107751863>Why is that majority of benchmarks show rtx 5090 performing way better than 7900xtx?Didn't somebody hit you in the head with a brick please don't say retarded shit like this again
At this point should I even bother trying to get a pc in the next 1-2 years? Do you think the prices will ever go back down in 2028+?
>>107752123
>>107750567so I did pass the CPU "normal" stress test with AVX 2, 189W power draw, CPU didn't get warmer than 92°C at 1.17 V-70mv offset, AVX offset 0, 4.7Ghz all core, MCE disabled and everything else at auto
>>107752116>G5 vs S95F as a pc monitorI always wonder what the fuck your setup looks like when people talk about using 42inch and higher as fucking pc monitorsunless you sit on the couchI use a 32oled and feel like that's already huge
Why is no one making proper 16:10 monitors anymore?
>>107752148There are always cyclesBut PC building is going to die within 15 yearsThe bulk of the computing will be done in the cloud, and you'll just have an edge client

>Bought a 9070 XT>Just heard about and realize AMD's new CES announcements drop in but a few daysFuck...I wanted to dodge the price increases, but it's gonna be a bummer if they're gonna release something soon.
>>107752306only the 9850x3d
>>107750166Sellfags >>>>>> Buyfags >>>>>>>> Waitfags
>>107752306They won't, new CPUs in 2027, and GPUs in 27/28, probably. Unless they're doing a RDNA 4 refresh, which is not very likely.
in the last 5~ days GPUs went up 100$~ across the board, shit is looking pretty grim because the fun part hasn't even begun
>>107752340How come they did not make a big RDNA4 (xx80/xx90) chip at all?
>>107752371they don't have enough shekels for the R&D. they really need to pull a rabbit out of their collective asses and come up with something big so as to give us consoomers more choices
Look at this 7900 XTX shill nigger faggot using another arbitrary benchmark to validate his purchase.Very few people give a shit about 60Hz V-Sync power consumption.The 5090 is the more power-efficient card without that arbitrary performance limitation.You don't buy a 7900 XTX, let alone a 5090, to lock it to 60Hz Vsync; you buy other cards for that poorfag/power-schizo shit.AMD took over 8 months to figure out how to reduce the 7900 XTX's idle power consumption post-launch because they didn't understand the trash they designed.
>>107752219seems alright. you couldnt do with less voltage than that? my average bin 9900k could do 4.8ghz with that voltage
>>107752371Because RDNA4 is a prototyping phase for UDNA/RDNA5 GPUs that will be bought by Sony, Valve, Microsoft, etc.
>>107752371I'd assume that they decided to focus on price brackets in which people care about price/performance this generation in order to move a decent volume of cards. If someone's already willing to spend around $1000 for a GPU, they won't really care about saving $100 and just go for the Nvidia card with better gaytracing and AI shit, but they'll probably try to compete next generation since those cards will have a more wholistic feature set.
>>107752409RDNA4 is finally decent hardware (took AMD four iterations of RDNA to come up with something decent), but software support is still its bane. Sound familiar? AMD's software has always been lacking, and can't do anything with the hardware if the software isn't there
>>107752454>next generationso they have within AMD expertise with stacking dies e.g., X3D, i would hope they can get the jump on nvidias proposed Feynman architecture. would be intredasting.
>>107752428>5090 so inefficient it's not even on the chart
OHH NOOOOO
>>107752371Because even AMD knows Blackwell is shit and they should put all their eggs into UDNA instead of trying to one up a failed gen.
>>107752471yes it's a power hungry beast that mogs everything else performance-wise. no one who buys a 5090 gives a shit about power consumption.
>>107752471I wish mine had the 800w bios.
>>107752371they got too cocky and thought navi48 would btfo nvidia forever9070xt was supposed to have a $800 msrp
OH MY GOD
>>107752469>Sound familiaryep. amd always one step behind. maybe nvidia will just give up on consoomer stuff someday and they will be on top once more.
>>107752489>Seagate You fool, you absolute buffoon
>>107752470Actual competition would be interesting, but it seems more likely that Nvidia will basically completely drop gaming at this point. The CEOs are cousins after all.
>>107752471>>5090 so inefficient it's not even on the chartRetard confirmed, the stock RTX 5090 FE is as efficient as a reference grade 9070 XT without some bullshit Vsync horseshit.
>>107752471It's right behind team brown's flagship, blind ass.
>>107752522>seems more likely thatalso possible to spin it off to intel or something like that now that they are fondling each other financially
>>107752490Except AMD had to juice their 9070 XT way past the efficiency point to compete against a 5070 Ti.They did absolutely everything possible with that chip out of the box.Keep your fantasies to yourself.
>>107752489buy now and stop writing until you backed up everything
>>107752490butthurt horseshit. the truth is in the quantifiable numbers.
>>107752550Wrong. MLID said they did a 3nm version that ran 3.7ghz clocks and a gddr7 memory controller for up to 24gb of vram at 1tb/s
>>107752510I have double the hours and less than half your total writes, you raped that poor thing
>>107752550>efficiencywho gives a shit about efficiency really? in any case, the 9070 XT is a decent card in it's price point, it gives the people /choices/. idgaf what anons buy as long as they get their /pcbg/ on.
>>107752470Those stacked cache dies won't be released for NVIDIA's PCIe GPUs; they have no trouble selling these cards without them.UNDA/RDNA5 won't use those either; you keep bringing up server GPU packaging technique.3D stacking cache increases manufacturing lead time, complexity, and cost.Cache stacking on GPUs is going to be far more costly than stacking V-Cache on a 70mm2 Ryzen/Epyc CCD.
>>107752573so where can we buy this fabulous tech or is it just another lab experiment that didn't make it to production?
>>107752595>who gives a shit about efficiency really?shills like to use it as a talking point, apparently
>>107752514To be fair that's the drive where I only really store my AI bullshit and other low-importance files so I expected that to happen sooner than later.
>>107752253wallmounting or just placing further awaygetting it lower and further away would be the bestupside close up you can truly use it without scaling and see alot of shit, good and bad32 is kinda big but at the same time not, 42 is pushing the limits of "eyes at panel top" level, beyond that you start to get into sussy territory yeah where it becomes annoyingbut just place further away and maybe even consider angle display downwards if having an arm mount might increase usability alot but I would prefer just down more maybethe copes you cope through to get a better display
>>107752573>MLID saidOpinion discard.>>107752595>who gives a shit about efficiency really?Say that to this faggot retard >>107750456Efficiency stops being a talking point when the GPU with the red sticker has issues with it.
>>107752564I would have bought another Toshiba HDD to complement my existing MG and P series drives but they're out of stock since 2019.>>107752586Using that as my Windows 10 drive with browser caching and hibernation by default is what raped it in 2019-2023. Really wish I stuck to my old MX100 with it's MLC storage or bought some 860 EVO's ion the years since.Thankfully the caution warning only just appeared to day so I can hopefully copy over all 1TB of data without it dying on the way and being corrupted.
you know what I'm thinking? the price for CPUs with integrated graphics is about to explode
>>107752602don't you think the performance gains are stalling due to physics limitations though, e.g. a 5070 isn't a huge leap from a 4070? thats why i keep mentioning the proposed Feynman architecture, they do want to stack dies, and normally new tech trickles down to the consoomer side.
>>107751800I'M GONNA BUY A GPU THAT ONLY DROPS IN PRICE-everyone that didn't buy a 5090 or 4090
Nigger Faggot Is Dead claimed, with "Very High Confidence", that the RX 7600 would match the 6900 XT's rasterization performance.He's faking it until he makes it.
>>107752606agreed, part of their clumsy disinformation tactics
>>107751941No they care about price it will only increase in value
>>107752636how does this guy still have an audience after years of literal horseshit nonsense
>>107752631>don't you think the performance gains are stalling due to physics limitations though,It's obviously stalling, that's why they've been throttling the generational performance gains of GeForce cards below the flagship -90 class.They're still not going to use server GPU packaging technique on lower-profit PCIe GPUs.They will shill more AI performance boosting features before they sell better physical chips.GeForce gets the lower-cost/effort GPUs.
>>107752510am I dumb or is that 142tb write on a 500gb drive?
>>107752633the /poors/ need bread too, anon
>>107752625good luck, I'm living on the edge too but most stuff has alredy been saved somewhere else and I have a spare 2tb nvme
>>107752680you are a true patrician, anon, backing up your futanari collection. we're proud of you.
>>107752636People are always ready to swallow his shit is why
>>107752667Yeah? >>107752680I already have two MG14TE's but I'm thinking about buying an 18TB Toshiba MG drive since all other capacities save for 8TB are out of stock. 525 euros though.
>>107752443I'll try that maybe next weekend, at least it's stable for now. I just hope the slightly bent pins and thermal paste in the socket doesn't cause problems some day.
>>107752696that is one tough little drive
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE PRICE PARITY BETWEEN SSD'S AND HDD'S SOONNOW HDD'S ARE UP TO $37 PER TERABYTE
>>107752713And this is an MX500 with TLC, not even an MX100 with MLC. They don't make them like they used to truly. Crucial drives were idiot proof, so long as you didn't mix PSU cables.
>>107752718>$37/TBwhat the fuck? normal prices right now are $20/TB in germoneyare the prices in the US that fucked? in that case I probably have to buy my backup HDDs soon because the price will probably increase here as well because fuck me
>>107752736>normal prices right now are $20/TB in germoneyFuck, maybe I should drive or take a train to Germany for an afternoon then because checking on Esus-It and calculating the price of an MG09ACA18TE gave me around that much.
>>107752690Those VRAM configs were first posted by someone with actual sources like KopiteKimi.KopiteKimi was also the first to publicly claim the 5090 FE would have a 2-slot cooler design.Nigger Faggot Is Dead just ran that story afterwards.People believed those Super configs because of Kimi, not MLID.You're not the smartass you think you are.https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-super-reportedly-features-6400-cuda-cores-and-18gb-memory
This is going to be worse than the bitcoin mining GPU shortage isn't it?
>>107752755cool where's my super card gimi
>>107752690It's pretty clear this isn't going to happen.
>>107752764You can thank Sam Altman for that.
>>107752765WRONG KopiteKimi said it first so it must be true smartass
>>107752758Ah, so that's why the guy who ships outlet stock of 5070 Ti's from Germany over here jacked up his prices last night. Fuck, I should have contacted him and told him I'll be buying it.
>>107752758>Gpu shortage>Pay some hundred dollars more for a gpu "Oooh da scalping!">AI Meme>Pay 7-11x the amount for the same ram 100€ kit vs 800€ kitit's light years worseIn other news, Samsung QC scares me....
>>107752758Just /wait/ bro
>>107752775You judge a leaker's credibility by their hit rate.Kopite practically has a source inside NVIDIA to get the hardware config leaks consistently correct.But we get it, you're a bitter faggot who likes to suck MLID's flaccid cock.
>>107752758There's always AMD It hilarious anyone still thinks ANY VRAM is going to be put on anything except the 5090 The 5090 will cost $5000 minimum guaranteed by next month
>>107752758It's already worse, right now is the last couple days before everything goes beyond shit and the only rtx cards available are 5 grand 5090s
I SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TO SPEND $500, $1000, OR $3000 ON A NEW GPU OR DISK JUST BECAUSE SOME JEWS WOKE UP AND CHOSE VIOLENCEFUCK OFF
>>107752618>Say that to thisoh that anon and i are in a deep and meaningful relationship already, anon, but it's not exclusive. feel free to flirt with it by posting facts, i think it really turns them on.
Is it too late?
>>107752758yes and it fact it will be much worse and last way longer, once reality settles in... the pool is closed due to AIds for the next 2 years and by closed I really mean it, and the prices will stay fucked for god knows how many years after that
>SAMSUNG 870 Evo 1TB at $165 nowAt this rate we'll be up to $625 per terabyte
why did you not panic buy anon? are you retarded?
>>107752877My being was incapacitated
>>107752877I panic bought this. It didn't;t work out so well.
>>107752887To be fair, you should've panic bought 3 weeks ago
>>107752855RAM is killNVMe are about to be killHDDs are climbing up at scary paceGPUs are about to play tag with RAMMerry Christmas and a Happy New yearoptimistic eta for the end of shortage is q2 2028
>>107752878>>107752878>>107752878
>>107752891More like 3 years ago
>>107752877We were shouting to literally everyone to buy buy buy back when the prices just started edging the slope and kept on shouting since, anyone who didn't listen can only blame themselves.
>>107752903Nah, even just 2-3 months ago would've been fine.3-4 weeks ago was the last sprint before prices shot up beyond affordability.As of last week and this week, we're officially fucked.
>>107752891Eh I got these as well, so I'm ok. Still should have bought earlier.
>>107752933And
>>107752933>6000MHz>CL40...grim
>>107752951Yep. I may sell it if I use the 32gb sticks. I'll make some money back either way. I just want to have the 64gb option for now.
>>107752951It's about getting enough RAM capacity you need at this point, and everything else is a bonus.
>>107752951at 64gb he can kek at everyone regardless of speed
>>107752989>I may sell it if I use the 32gb sticksYou are the exact person I will joyfully scam on eBay for being a huge faggot
>>107750903why are you saying acer is "quite obivious bottom of the barrel cheapshit"? i'm really not at all into the topic and just wanted to jump avay from nvidia and my old gpu before prices surge for gpus as well. happy i upgraded to 32g of ram last year…
>>107750191You really should buy RAM only in pairs, they tend to be more stable in a channel if they are made with the same chips. Unfortunately this means buying RAM alone--prebuilts are not guaranteed to have the same chips.
>>107750237>Tomoko without dark circleswhat is this travesty
>>107753158How noble.
