if the coil whine is untenable the choice is still clear. Basically unusable vs usable but no warranty? If the card doesn't fail in the first 3 months odds are it will run for 10 years anyway so just wait a brief period and then do it. Bathtub curve ftw.

You can if you want, you can fact check. Just like any secondary source material. What it does is narrows down the subject or makes a summary. Doesnt mean you need to shut down critical thinking and look at AI as god. But you also cant dismiss all the positives it brings

If they're cheap, they're not a bad option.
Yeah, it sucks. But, a prebuilt PC is better than no PC.

If you really want to game it, buy a prebuilt and sell off the parts you don't want and swap in parts you do. But, good luck if anything breaks.

>>107808340
It depends on your budget honestly. AM5 is worth it depending on the CPU you choose but if can't fork out money for CPU+Motherboard+potentially more, better stick to AM4 where you could get a more powerful CPU with the money instead.

>>107808384
>how's the situation with 4 DDR4 sticks on B450 + Zen2 in current year?
it's fine, zen 2 has a good IMC

it was notable that Micron basically had no headroom in comparison and also ran hotter at the time. These seem like things that matter. I don't remember if people were even getting Hynix with there 1080 ti's or if it was just Samsung and Micron though.

Guys I built a new PC about 5 months ago, everything was cash until month 2 or so when GPU started black screening and dropping out of device manager with full fan speed. It was happening ondce a month but now it's like 4 times a day after multiple drivers have been tested and two windows reinstalls. iGPU works normally and this shit happens in idle and under load. Is it a ded gpu? PSU is high quality and more than enough. Cables are fine too. It's a 5070Ti Trio by MSI if that matters.

If it would be Ryzen 1000 I would have be concerned. But Ryzen 3000 and B450 you should have no problem running 4 sticks. In fact if you find a 16gb kit for a resonable price instead of another 2x4gb you may even go for 24gb ram mixed. It should run stably at those ram speeds.

>>107808568
I had the same opinion, but Path of Exile 2 is optimized like crap for AMD cards so far and FSR is so much worse than DLSS.

Gotten a Zotac 5070 ti, which has a 5 year warranty after registration and it blew me away.
If it wasn't for the coil whine I'd keep it, now I'm gonna return it and buy another.
It ran at 50-65C at full load, 4k with high settings. The coolers were incredibly silent and after undervolting it was only using 240W of power.
If you make sure to not use the adapter, but instead use a singular cable directly from the PSU and properly insert and guide the cable, the card burning up should be low. 5080 and especially the 5090 sound risky, though.

You can manually set set the DLSS version with profile inspector if not in control panel.

Doesn't look like it really needs an upgrade to me. Learn to use DLSS and do some basic settings optimization. No FG but unless you really want 120+ FPS in Unreal slop I don't think it's necessary. You can usually run 4K 60 FPS in graphically demanding games with a few tweaks on that system. More demanding esports like Apex or Arc Raiders will be more like 120 or higher.

Don't know, haven't seen any analysis. Not sure whether the FG model got updated

>>107809171
I don't think either would fit my usecase because:

Cheap VA is dogshit for competitive gaming, poor motion clairty

4k OLEDs are $900

I use my PC to read things online often, OLED is horrible for text clarity

Will keep the monitor for 5 years

The AOC I mentioned (find the model for yourself) is pretty fast. I don't have one so I can't comment on how good it is for competitive gaming, but in general it's as fast as the IPS of 5 years ago.

>>107809239
There are two separate models, one for super resolution and one for FG. The SR got updated, again not sure about FG. If the base image (new SR model) is better, the FG will look better. But the DLLs are separate, you can download them from techpowerup, not that you need to. That's why they're separate options in the driver

dlss quality makes my fans loud so i use performance

how much does a 2600k sandy bridge system with 16gb of ddr3 and a 280x sell for? Should i just HODL my old system as the prices trickle down as i'd struggle to sell for $100 now but maybe prices might double as normies and business threw all of them out to the trash and recycling centers and are desperate for a computer

>>107809270
The AOC you mentioned has 180hz refresh rate and is VA compared to the monitor I'm considering (Gigabyte M27Q3) Which has a 320hz refresh rate and is IPS. $280 vs $330.

$50 more for 140hz refresh rate and IPS instead of VA seems worth it.

I can't justify spending $1k on a current monitor, maybe in the future as the tech gets more impressive.

I think you're conflating slow VAs with fast VAs. VAs are not all the same. Check the response times on the AOC VA. The AOC has decent HDR, which is a strong benefit over the IPS for your non-competitive gaming. Personally I can't stand the contrast of IPS. Either way the monitors you're looking at are cheap and you're not married to them, so in general I'd try to stay on the cheaper side and look to upgrade to sooner rather than later. A Pulsar equivalent will probably be coming to OLED (or QD-EL) in a couple of years, which will essentially make them end game monitors

Seems you know more on the subject than me anon. Honestly I don't care or like HDR, prefer to game on slightly below average brightness.

I've been using an IPS monitor for the last 5 years so I'm used to it, but I'd be willing to switch for a better experience.

The AOC and the Gigabyte monitors have the same response time. refresh rate is really important for gaming and I'm willing to have worse contrast for it so I'll go for the Gigabyte. Will keep an eye out for Pulsar OLEDs though, thanks.

5 year old card beaten by newer card, crazy work...
glad you're enjoying your pc!!

Is the MSI RTX 2080 Ti Duke 11GB a good 2080ti?

Is it worth undervolting the mid-high tier Ryzen CPUs (e.g., Ryzen 9 9900x, 9950x, any of the x3d CPUs)? I know these Ryzens are a lot less power hungry and hot than the 7000/5000 series Ryzen CPUs, and way less of a housefire risk than the 13th and 14th gen Intel, but I wonder if an undervolt is worth it for productivity purposes.

It makes sense to pair a Ryzen 7 9700X with a Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB? I'm looking for an average gaming performance but I'm also gonna use it for software development, hence the choice for a current gen CPU.

>>107810030
3080 was 2 steps below the flagship
3080 was released 6 years ago.
Try comparing your card to the actual flagship, a 5090.
>trolls need to step it up

>>107810059
ye

>>107810030
I have both an RTX 5070 ti (in my productivity PC in my office) and an Rx 9070 XT (in my gaming PC in my apartment). They both are pretty powerful and beastly GPUs, and for gaming I don't see anything wrong with going for either one (depending on your priorities and use case). If you're gaming on Linux, the 9070 XT is a no brainer and will get you crazy good performance for a bit cheaper than a 5070 ti.

>>107810054
Depends upon the silicon lottery. I have my 9800x3d undervolted @ -30 and it helped thermals and performance.

>one card is literally 1/8th the price of the other

Your 5090 will be useless around the same time that card is useless and you'll be out $3000 while hes out maybe $400 after resale

Who really wins here

>>107810062
The 9070 XT isn't even trying to compete against the 5090. It's priced to compete against the 5070 ti and 5080 (where it is only marginally worse than both in gaming workloads, and a whole hell of a lot cheaper than a 5080). Obviously a card which you can get at a $600 MSRP (or pretty close to it) won't be throwing punches against a card that's 5 times more expensive.

I don't think that's going to happen again unless AMD decides to get their shit together. The jump from a 3090 to the 4090 was gigantic, and it only happened because Jensen whipped some asses after the fact AMD managed to reach almost equal footing with the 6900 XT in that generation. Now look at where we are with the 5090 vs 4090 vs 5080, the 4090 is still the 2nd most performant consumer card despite being almost 4 years old.

>>107810035
4k is amazing. Even upscaled it looks far better than 1440p, and dlss was basically tailored for it.

3080 was just an exceptionally hot and inefficient gpu. the entire rtx30 series was like that

1. Is USB3.0 now just as good for IOPs compared to eSATA for external backup (i.e. freefilesync where it compares two directories to mirror over for my backup?)

2. Why are cases not reverse ATX anymore? Doesn't it make sense to have the GPU flipped so it's above the CPU or is that dated because AIO is a thing/solved it? Also I guess since GPUs weight so goddamn much now your kind of need them near the bottom to prop them up with a anti-sag stick lol

thoughts? I desperately wish I had any x3d chip due to the enormous VRChat performance improvement they give. I'm also looking into mini-LED monitors

How bad of an idea is it to run a PC without a CPU cooler? The one I ordered got lost in the mail.

>>107810273
very bad

>>107810023
yeah, i understand that, some of the poorly optimised games do alot more wrong than just require large amounts of vram, they store loads of useles data on the ram itself, and when they start cycling and deleting data on-ram in real-time to load something else, the game will start stuttering and acting up, and no tech reviewer ever seems to cover this phenomenon.

It can also happen with motherboard ram too, if you do alot of torrenting and multitasking for 12+ hours, it can make games+apps unstable as a result.

>>107810273
Really really bad. If you run your CPU without any kind of a cooler (even a cheap one) you will immediately thermal throttle and likely burn your CPU/socket eventually.

>>107810273
Put some toothpaste on it and hope for the best?

>>107810273
You probably won't get to your desktop before it shuts down due to overheating. crazy how fast these things heat up.

>>107810271
why are you wasting your money on a cpu cooler that costs almost as much as the cpu itself

>>107810062
>compare a card that is over 5x the cost of another card
man, you Njudean paypigs sure are coping hard. I'm not even going off of OP's price, i went by australian prices of the cheapest of both gpus. The pricing is a joke, the 5090 is absurdly overpriced and AWFUL value unless you use it for production shit.

They should add some screws like old VGA connectors to keep it secure.

>>107810271
i would make some changes here
trade in all the storage for a 2tb nvme (guessing some of this is already yours? In which case I guess keep it and buy nothing)
Your case has fans pre-installed, you do not need to buy 5 more fans. Order no fans, build the PC, and if you need to get another fan, go to best buy and get one for $10
you are paying extra for a motherboard with wifi built-in, you do not need to also buy a wi-fi card. Also just plug it in, it's a desktop, the cable doesn't need to move so you can do something like get one that matches your paint and run it along a wall. If you're too far from your router for a cable, you're too far for gaming on wifi.
with the money you save on these parts that don't matter, you can get an x3d chip

a 5k2k monitor

My one real gripe with my Super Flower is that of the three fan settings I generally have no choice but to use the traditional always-on option anyway. With either of the fan stop modes the PSU will stay silent for only a short while until that temp threshold is reached and then suddenly its a roaring turbine for an equally brief period, on and off and on and off. Better to keep running to stay quiet even though that will fill it with dust faster. It does not have any smart monitoring to ensure that doesn't happen.

1. You can't run your PC without a cooler. Maybe if you figure out some CRAZY underclocking technique to get it under 0.1 GHz, but that's unlikely. It will turn itself off while you're in the bios. I know personally from experience that you can't really get away with any setup that runs the cpu with no cooler
2. Once I upgraded my PC I realized I had a cooler but no backplate to anchor the cooler to the motherboard. I tried stacking heavy objects like cans of beer and books on top of the cooler in order to physically press it against the CPU, but it didn't work. The screws that hold a cooler to a CPU do it with like 100 lbs of force in order to cool it off.

pic related. Back in the day I tried forcing the cooler against the cpu by stacking heavy stuff on top of it, which completely did not work.

>>107810301
I bought that cpu cooler like 10 years ago when I was a 16 year old anon. The price of an all-in-one cooler is ~40 usd nowadays and I'm sure even a cheap one has better cooling than the one I have now. Everything in the list I already own.

>>107810356
That's just a dump of everything I own. If I want to upgrade anything, such as the CPU, that would mean then selling on facebook or ebay the current 5700X. Most of the stuff I have is just junk and hand-me-downs or stuff I scrapped from another build.

I agree with you about the 2tb nvme. I really do want one. Lately I've been browsing diskprices every day so I can stockpile stuff on huge cheap drives like Unity assets and 4k Videos

older hardware just runs better on linux.
bleeding edge hardware always has the highest risk of problems on linux (even windows).
If you are buying a new CPU, I would suggest looking at the AMD AI max 385 for $800 (+case/nvme/PSU/120mm fan not included) from framework which has an igpu that's similar to a 4060 (a RX 9060 / 5060 is around 30% faster).No FSR4
It sounds very stupid, but it is probably the quietest PC you could get because it's only 100 watts, and you got enough ram. And it could run an AI decently (for LLM's it's more than 2x slower than the 5070 TI/RX 9070, that's still not that bad, BUT I expect the steam machine to have the same performance and I believe it will be a bit cheaper).
https://frame.work/ca/en/products/framework-desktop-mainboard-amd-ryzen-ai-max-300-series?v=FRAFMK0002
I personally don't think nvidia has a big issue with linux because I have a nvidia GPU myself and it ran fine (1660 TI), but AMD is glazing the linux community slightly more than nvidia, and something something.
If you want to use the steam frame (VR) on linux it might have less PCVR latency than nvidia but I don't have any benchmarks to prove it (or if windows is much better).
https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn
You should stick to a 9070 or 5070 TI if you wanted PCVR.
Also, if you don't have a monitor + etc, if you want a poverty build that has a lot of bang per buck (but like 1/4th fps of the AI max), you could go with the steam deck for $350, you get 2x more performance with a $600~ z1/z2 extreme windows handheld (it can install a linux, maybe steam OS, but maybe not and you need a easier distro). Then you could plug that handheld to a monitor + keyboard + mouse (using a usb 4 dock with DP alt mode, for SSD space you could use a usb4 nvme enclosure or a slow micro sd card).
You could also buy a PS5 APU which has similar GPU power of a 5070~ or something for $100 (better than the AI max). But it has a bunch of issues.

Nta, but a lot of cases have pretty shit fans. I've found that even in some more known case brands like Montech/Phanteks, replacing the stock case fans with even cheap thermalright/arctic fans ends up making a difference. Especially if the fans that come in the case arent pwm.

Gee I wonder what time it is in India.

Key reasons behind the indefinite delay of the RTX 50 SUPER launch

There were earlier leaks saying that for the RTX 50 SUPER series, NVIDIA had already confirmed and informed AIC partners that the release would be delayed indefinitely. CES further supports this. There was no RTX 50 SUPER-related product showcase from NVIDIA. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote also did not reveal or announce any new GPU products or related information.

The absence of a new-generation NVIDIA graphics card may disappoint some hardware enthusiasts, but this decision is not completely unexpected. The post suggests NVIDIA is mainly considering these factors:

Overseas demand for compute GPUs is surging, so more capacity is being reserved for compute GPU production, where profits are higher.
The rise in memory-related products may be a long-cycle issue. VRAM chips are not only expensive, but the cost also affects global consumer GPU market share.
The most important point: there is currently no news of any new-generation AMD consumer GPU products launching in 2026. The current RTX 50 series can remain competitive for a long time, so releasing the SUPER refresh is less necessary.

Oh and if you go with a handheld (it needs usb4, needs to be a z1/z2 extreme, not the steam deck), you could later on get an egpu (it does require a jank setup, it will cost $100+ for usb4, they don't come with a box encloser, but it should have holes to screw with + you could use a block of wood or something and put threadded inserts into it so screws fit, or just use ducktape, and the PSU will just be lying around on your table).
But you need a handheld with 2 usb 4 ports, since one will recharge with a dock, and the other will be the eGPU port.

You are an absolute disgusting, subhuman. A living stereotype of the worst muttmerican traits.

Nobody claims AMD is perfect, but they're easily miles above the competition on the corporate ethics front. Would they remain the same if the roles reversed? probably not, but then i would pivot to a potentially chink brand, if they were viable, and i needed to upgrade. Very unlikely scenario though.

kind of showing that usb4 is all you need, but I should note oculink / m.2 slots are 1/4th the price of usb4 egpu adapters, but usb4 is hotplugable, so you could just plug it in and out and your handheld/minipc won't freeze.
No handheld has oculink, but some have a laptop CPU with an oculink (AI 370 cpu for example) but those handhelds cost as much as laptops, maybe instead get that laptop for bigger nvme slots.
