>>107820002Ada didn't sell as well because of the $1200 RTX 4080 and the $800 4070 Ti 12GB.I'm also guessing the 3060 12GB and the 3060 Ti kept a lot of people happy through that generation.

>>107820305With NVIDIA's groundbreaking Multi-frame Generation, a 5070 competes with and even outperforms a 4090, and all that for only $550. NVIDIA saved gamers and brought affordable high framerate gaming to the masses. Promises made, promises kept.

>>107820039AMD only talked about AI at CES
>>107820562Pretty cool, it's straight up cheating in FPS games since I don't need to check corners and can just see everything all at once. For singleplayer games, it can be annoying because you usually need some kind of mod to get it working.
>>107820305This is not a post to support the idea that the 5070 has the same performance as the 4090, not anywhere close; however, baseline gaming performance is barely relevant between generations from the same vendor, and it's even less relevant between vendors. Bar charts are artifacts of an archaic review archetype and certainly do not indicate to the reader what he would be purchasing.FPS is a bad metric for reviews at this point. That chart has Radeon FSR 3 cards and Geforce DLSS 4 cards side by side despite having massively different image quality and smoothness unless you artificially gimp the Geforce cards. Arguably the 5070 can get much closer to the 4090 in terms of smoothness than the 4070 Super can, and the 5070 is right next to the 4070 Super. Even among 50 series cards, the different tiers get different smoothness improvements and take different latency penalties from FG while under heavy load.I like the idea of targeting image quality at a resolution, smoothness, and price in a review, but reviews should be focused on a card within subset of cards and explain what that card is and is not capable of, with examples. For example, the 5070 could be demonstrated playing demanding games at 4K with noted settings including SR and FG. The 5070 (at least before DLSS 4.5) could also be shown to be too weak for path tracing at 4K, or at the very least require compromised image quality to achieve playable frame rates. Reviews should show what a buyer can expect from a card, not some abstracted, falsely associated number that provides almost no indication of how well the card plays modern games.tl;dr: Bar charts are academic at best and lack practical relevance to how purchasers will actually be using the cards.

It's crazy that you can buy a GPU in 2023, and not get the latest features in 2026. Even Nvidia does that, I can't believe people still buy AMD and are ok with being locked out of the current tech.
>>107820720>customs taxesSame here but you still need to pay vat and the process is a pain in the ass

>>107820706What's considered "cheaping out" on a PSU?
>>107820778Under 1000W
>>107820769its just a meme that amd employs a lot of indians to make radeon (sorta true) so radeon is associated with india
>>107820720What I would love to see is bootleg chips, just like bootleg pharmacologics. Sadly the manufacturing process is too difficult for that to become a realityWe have tariffs and sales tax here, but with expensive high margin items, they're already priced as high as the market will bear, so companies eat the tariffs because they can't price the products any higher and maintain optimum profit.
>>107820769>he boughted the 12V-2x6 9070XTlol get ready for all those AMDrones to turn on you
>>107820778>Spending less than $100>Buying a PSU under 1000W
>>107820638It's not that deep. If the raster performance is not on par, it's not the same performance. FG is just coping due to severe lack of hardware oomph.

>>107820638We can simplify comparisons with a single chart plotting fps divided by latency. this would appropriately penalize all forms of framegen.

>>107820822They make solid units but how is warranty. I went to their site and it was pure chinese. Would hate to have to try to make a warranty claim.

There's no point in buying a low quality monitor
>>107820798The gtx 760 was better in its day than the 5070 is today. Beefier specs and chip. Pretty grim.
>>107820880It's all relative though right. You dont compare fps between games, just within the game. And if a gpu has more latency than another in cp that seems important to represent
>>107820877They better than Seasonic PSU and have 10+ year warranty + WAY cheaper.And they arent Chinese, they Taiwanese. Unfortunately its mostly available on Asia.My friend had one for 10 years now.
>>107820798Raster is solved. 5070 is a decent 4K card if you don't care about path tracing. The 4090 is better than the 5070 for 4K but only in the diminishing returns sense of higher DLSS quality levels. 4K DLSS Quality is nearly indistinguishable from 4K DLAA, and 4K Performance is very good, something most people would be extremely happy with. The 4090 is not more than 60% better for 4K gaming as your chart would suggest, and is certainly not worth close to even that low dream world premium (in reality the premium is much more) for simple 4K gaming
>5070 is a decent 4K carda lie
>12gb>decent 4k cardRoom temp IQ shill
You'd be a fool to not buy RGB Stripe 5th gen QD-OLED
Nvidia's $450 card is better at 4K than AMD's $600 card.
The 5070 is basically a modern 750 ti except the price is shit. Still a fine 1080p card for years to come though.
>>107820905Even 16gb vram is arguably not enough for 4k and you're claiming>5070 is a decent 4K cardExquisite bait.

sup /pcbg/, i just bought my very first build and (after changing my mind and having to return and rebuy almost literally every part i bought the first time [I am functionally retarded]) i'm putting it together this weekend. any tips for a newb? i have swapped everything out in pre-builds before except the cpu, but i've never built my own from components before.
>>107821291>almost literally every part i bought the first time [I am functionally retarded])next time verify dont just let grok pick everything
>>107821291Just watch a building video before you build. It's easy, like putting Legos together. Just be gentle with the CPU and don't screw things too tight to the point of breaking. You can also get a grounding bracelet if you're paranoid.

>>107821501pretty sure its capped to 800w by default. 1200-2500w limit requires a bios flash
>>107821525With cyberpunk, the path tracing shit is a pretty big selling point. So, yeah. I'd enable DLSS and frame gen and just accept it.For other games, it's much less important.
>>107819593Legitimately, what's the benefit of these pre-build AI PCs and laptops. What can I get out of them (anime porn and grammar checks), that I can't already get out of asking Grok and the pre-installed copilot?
>>107821525NVIDIA Frame Generation changes EVERYTHING! Instant performance! Smoother motion! Next-gen visuals without buying a new card! Turn it on and your system immediately feels like a higher tier GPU! Pair it with DLSS and you unlock pure magic! It is the fastest, easiest, most exciting upgrade you can make right now!
>>107821546>>107821555frame gen feels like shit if you don't have good base fps
>>107821561NVIDIA FRAME GENERATION IS THE SINGLE GREATEST INNOVATION IN PC GAMING HISTORY AND I WILL NOT HEAR OTHERWISE! Flip that switch and your “mid-range” card becomes an ABSOLUTE MONSTER! Frames? SKYROCKETING! Smoothness? UNREAL! Visuals? NEXT-DIMENSIONAL! You don’t NEED a new GPU—NVIDIA already gave you the upgrade FOR FREE!

I think I picked the perfect time to build my pc. I got most of it in summer 2025 and just used an older graphics card, and I just got a new monitor and 9070xt to finish the build. My last computer lasted me 7 years, and that one wasn't relatively as good as this one when I got it. Hopefully this one will last me through this drought.

Nvidia is never going to make more 5090 cards again are they?
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my PC started to shut down randomly, with a clicking sound, then starting back up after 1-2 seconds. I noticed, that this only happens when I use Android Studio (an IDE for Android development). I have switched to Linux, like half a year ago, and don't game much anymore so can't test it with a heavy game, but Android Studio probably eats more power than any AAA game. Is this the end of my PSU? I googled it and seems like it is. The PC worked for 2.5 years, I played games on it before (Stalker 2) and had no problems. I recently had to move, so maybe it got damaged during the process.My specs are: 7950x3d + 7900XT. PSU is Asus ROG THOR 850P 850 W 80+ Platinum.I'm about to buy a new PSU because it seems like it's very likely that it's the PSU fault. Just need a confirmation.
Can someone explain DLSS 4.5 changes?Is it worse?Also what did they do with frame generation (dynamic FG?)
>>107822078>>107822527I genuinely don't understand why you would want a 5090. This card is still unsafe as fuck and reddit is full of posts about failures, meltdowns and details how paranoid and careful people are with those cards like checking them daily, buying amp measuring devices to measure the coltage of single cables and other weird shit. All so they don't burn their house down and failures within a year seem very common.

>>107822564I already tried to debug the issue with ChatGPT and there are no logs like 3-4 minutes before it shuts down. There was some weird error message from the Kraken cooler (something about not having any data), but the temps are fine. I tried running CPU and GPU stress tests and it worked fine. It seems like it only happens when it spikes.

since the ram fucks a lot with my 5070 ti build budget, for nowany good/reccomended laptop brands nowadays? I've been usng a HP for 12 years now and it's been a true warrior, but dunno the current state of HP, so I can go and research if they have problems with Linux etcthansk in advance ill check the thread later[spoiler]couldn't find a laptop thead so I'm asking here[/spoiler]
>>107822599This usually means the package is lost and they are trying to find it. Probably got stolen from the delivery truck. Sorry anon, call them.
>>107822904Try to get a pre-built PC from MSI, Lenovo, Acer or similar. They are still priced normally. In terms of good laptops go for Lenovo Legions (PCs as well are pretty good and recomemded)

any 5070ti without the new plug?
>>107823002> any 5070ti without the new plug?Every single 50 series GPUs has the 16-pin 12vhwpr connector. Nvidia loves that connector for some reason. They might even be sticking it on the rebooted RTX 3060 when that comes back in a month or two.
>>107823002Every 50 series njudea card has the death connector, sorry but Jensen wants you to burn to death like a good goy
>>107823010>>107823020well ok then. what about the oem version? which one is the least shit that can be had at msrp or close to it? asus, gainward, indo3d, zotac, gigabyte or pny? are they all the same? do any stand out as really shit? i don't see a reason to buy a premium 70 class gpu. i just want one that isn't shit.
>>107823037or what about the best version that can be run with aftermarket fans?
My current build from 2019:>Define R4 case>MB Intel 1151 Asus PRIME Z390-A>Corsair V LPX 16GB kit (2x8GB) DDR4 Black 2x288, 3200MHz>INTEL Core i7-9700K>Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler>Various HDDs and SSDs not worth listing here, main SSD is 3D NAND SSD Blue 500GB M.2 SATA>PSU Seasonic 750W PRIME Ultra 750 Gold Modular>Monitor is some Lenovo 1440p 240hz 27" modelSo I did something kinda retarded which was buying a RX9070 as a GPU upgrade which is obviously getting really heavily bottlenecked by my build, but I thought I might be able to stretch my current build by a few years like this. However, I really am just considering pulling the trigger and making a completely new build but saving the GPU, PSU, cooler, some SSDs and HDDs and even the case even though it is kinda fucked up (almost none of the front panel USBs etc do not work). What would you guys suggest for me to get? Would it be smart for me to save the PSU and such for the new build? My budget is maybe a maximum of 1500 eurodollars (already have the GPU) and my target is 1440p gaming. I reside in Finland.

>>107823037it's all melty melty dog shit connector. FWIW i dont stress over my 5080 since it doesn't push the cable close to the limit of its safety, but i know it still isn't ideal.
>>107823079shame nvidia didnt have AI tools to help them design a functional connector
>>107823090they are all busy working on their drivers
>>107823037Only the 5090 are burning. 5070Ti and 5080 are safe.
>>107823090the "problem" the cable set out to solve was that having like 4 8-pins on the gpu looks terrible, so it was about being as small as possible while still kind of working. They achieved that. It kinda works but not really but more importantly it looks clean.
>>107823082And it also didn't cost you 3000$-5000$Also imagine your 5090 catches fire and damages your ram. Nvidia will probably warranty your 5090 (maybe) but your ram is out of luck.
>>107823119the lack of safety margins + mechanisms to ensure equal load on each cable are true failures
>>107823127>mechanisms to ensure equal loadthat was never a problem on non retarded connectors. now we have to have load balancing. fucking bullshit.
>>107823079>Uses a shitty bargain bin PSU with his $3000 cardDeserved
5070 12GB or 5060Ti 16GB? Both have almost the same pricetag on Amazon.
slotted in a second nvme (E:) located right underneath the gpu. are those temps still too high? even placed a heatsink with some preinstalled thermal pad on it
why does msi have the only non gay looking 5070ti?
>>107823137pcie 8pin is rated for 150 but wont melt even if you force 300 through it. That's what a properly designed cable looks like.the slot is much the same, rated for 75w but it wasnt uncommon especially with cards like the 750 ti to go to 120+ with no external power.pcie a robust standard all-around.Nvidia has crapped out a piece of shit standard and it's too late for them to admit it's flawed, the shareholder confidence loss would be devastating since they've already been using it for so many years...
If it's to do with voltage, why is the 9070XT also burning when it's a much less powerful card?
This is the 12V-2x6 cable that goes into GPU, right? Does it matter which head goes into the PSU? They look the same.
>>107823163the idea of the cable is fine, as in 600w from a neat small package = greatnow they just need to execute it properly with better ideas
>>107823173Don't ask that question. The 5090 is the problem.
>>107823173those manufacturers that work exclusively with AMD that are having these issues haven't had time to band-aid "fix" the issue via pcb compensations, whereas nvidia partners have had a few gens to try to iron things out. they AMD AIBs are just now discovering what a horrible piece of shit it is, and it's exploding in their face as a result.Why they adopted it in the first place, is the much better question. They had to have known how bad it is.
>>107823062https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/list/JXLbnpMade this list, is it OK?
>>107823163>>107823176the eps12v connector for the cpu can also do 336w on a single 8 pin just fine. threadripper users and overclockers run them just fine.
>>107823159As much as people shit on Zotac, their 5070 ti solid doesn't look too bad.
>>107823174See this is the type of guy I expect to burn their house down because of a gpu
>>107823206gives off feemasonry vibes
>>107823196build's fine but what exactly is the 9700k choking you on. or do you just feel the need to upgrade to avoid any mismatches down the line
>>107823202the mainboard has 6 times the board surface area to sink heat from that connector.
>find a 50 series card for a not completely impossible price>remember i have to buy a 12vhwpr adapter for my seasonic psu somehow because i didnt buy a 3090 with 3 8 pinsneuter me
>>107823262the gpu doesnt come with an adapter?
>>107823222Well, the CPU usage generally goes to 100% in pretty much any recent games, and I feel like I don't get the most out of my GPU. Based on rough calculations I believe the bottleneck is about 20% and does cause stuttering depending on the game (like Cyberpunk 2077). >do you just feel the need to upgrade to avoid any mismatches down the lineBasically this. The one million dollar question though is that should I just hold on with my current build and not utilize the RX9070 to it's maximum potential (I upgraded from a RTX2070 so it was quite a jump) so I can maybe avoid paying so fucking much for RAM.
>>107823262>>107823266it should come with an adapter.
>>107823262GPU will come with an adapter, and you really on need an actual dedicated proper cable for the 5090
why shouldn't i just limit all my games to like 120fps? via smth like riva tuner? i don't really care about latency since i only play single player games. i just want a smooth experience.
>>107823280the 5090 comes with an adapter too but you need 4 8 pins to power it
>>107823288which is funny because even 3 pcie 8-pins wont melt before the dog shit 12vhpwr connector does it it came down to it.
>>107823271Aren't these adapters going to be running into pin compatibility problems? If someone is using a 2019 Seasonic PSU versus a 2021 Corsair PSU then they will use two different 8 pin layouts, how do you rectify that with an adapter bundled with the GPU its self?
>>107823290the adapter can still melt only your PSU will likely stay undamaged. I switched from adapter to a dedicated 12V 2x6 cable cause the coil whine with former was ridiculous while the ampere balance wasn't better.
>>107823159do you have to do picrel before installing the gpu?
>>107823174what's up with your thumb?
>>107823196Go down to 16GB of RAM and a 1TB Drive and you can get a 5080 and that will give you more gaming performance.Though, honestly, if you've already got a 500GB NAND SSD you're fine using that and waiting out the SSD price hikes. Put that money towards a 5080 & 32GB of RAM instead.
>>107823268ye that's just the thing. other option would be to find the best cpu that socket supports. but when you're ready to upgrade it might be worth selling your old build to recoup some of the cost. personally ran a 5700x with my 9070 xt all year last year till i swapped it out for a 9800x3d last month and found a buyer for my am4 rig the same week
>>107823309well you could probably do it with this black plastic part since the rest is metal. would maybe even improve temps. who knows.
>>107823323>16GB of RAMdon't, this is hell....
>>107822545Anyone who bought a GAYMD GPU is close to suicide, that's how good it is
>>107823286Everyone should be using a fps cap thats 1-3fps below their displays max refresh rate. Thats how you get all the benefits of gsync/freesync.

pasing
>>107819593>mfw I get my new GPU but can barely use it because I have to go to work in the morning
>>107823373you want to bitch about it?
>>107823358The range doesn't need to be that large unless the game you're playing is like compiling shaders in real time which it shouldn't with DXVK or Proton or SteamOS doing it upfront.>>107823372If you want the best frametimes, learn all about the APIs. Prefer Vulkan over DX11 and ancient shit whenever possible. Don't use Nvidia because they lack RADV and D3D12 optimization.
>>107823367Delusion is the only thing amdjeets have left...
>>107823353>>107823358-3 fps is old news, you want to leave 0.25-0.3ms of frame time, which will depend on your target frequency.For 60hz that's 57 FPSFor 120hz it's 116 FPSFor 144hz it's 138-140 FPSFor 165hz it's 158-160 FPSFor 240hz it's 225-230 FPSFor 360hz it's 330-340 FPSEtc
>>107823460You don't need to do this shit. I've done the latency tests myself on both AMD & Nvidia. The best latency is -1fps using AntiLag 2 on AMD (many games can inject it same way as FSR4 using Optiscaler) or just turning on Reflex with no boost mode.
>>107823466That might work for you personally, but the best practice for Gsync is to leave 0.25-0.3ms of frame time. It's why when you use reflex+boost it caps your FPS to similar limits that I mentioned, because Nvidia internally uses the 0.25ms frame time rule.
I could have boughted the last cheap 128gb kits I would have been safe for the lifetime of ddr5now it probably wont go down to that low point again in the life timeit's over

Well I can confirm.Daisy chaining my RTX 5070 was what was causing my GPU to crash after 10-90 minutes in game.Added a 2nd dedicated power cable instead of daisy chaining and it went from crashing frequently, to a 6+ hour block of gaming last night with zero crashing at all.
Should I boughter this? Never had a 4K monitor before.
>>107823575Yep. Glad you figured it out though.
>>107823575kinda wonder then what the pigtails are still for if that kind of shit happens
>>107823575people still make this mistake huh>>107823585>best current qdoled monitor paneltry it but if you experience eye strain you know it's because qdoled subpixels and you have you have to swap to woled or wait for rgb stripe qdoled
>>107823546well since last year it's been clear no company is focusing on 32" models for the latest tech
>>107819593Bought a BC-250 My skin is brownening as I speak.
>>107823595Yea, native 12VHPWR cable was also ordered, but in the meantime, two dedicated 8-pin PCIe power cables into the 12VHPWR "squid" adapter will work fine.>>107823597It worked fine for years on my RTX 3070ti, but apparently the new 50 Series cards are incredibly sensitive to voltage droop during transient loads, which on pigtail cables when they've been running hot for a bit of time, can cause increased voltage droop when a sudden 300w+ transient spike hits, your voltage droops from 12v to 11.7v or less, and the driver hangs, crashing the game.
>>107823614>people still make this mistake huhAs I said in my other post, it worked for my RTX 3070ti (290W TDP), but not for the 5070 (250W TDP)
>>107823492>low point again in the life timejust wait 3-4 years brounless you have some sort of terminal condition where you literally cant then yeah, it will be overpriced for the rest of your life
>>107823323>Go down to 16GB of RAM and a 1TB Drive and you can get a 5080 and that will give you more gaming performance.I already have a 9070 unfortunately, kinda not willing to sell it to get a 5080 so soon. But the SSD suggestion is a good one, def will consider that.>>107823328The problem with LGA1151 as a socket is that there pretty much doesn't exist a better CPU* for it, so I'm kinda stuck with my i7 9700k if I don't change the whole system. Really unofortunate timing all in all... Do you reckon I could get anything for my DDR4 ram? I already sold the RTX2070 to a friend so at least some of the cost is recouped.*For any sort of reasonable price
>>107823643>just wait 3-4 years broone simple problem, 6090 releases in 18 months
>>107823638>>107823632In all honesty, that single cable was likely limiting your 3070ti by 5-10%, you just never noticed because the 3070ti would just throttle itself instead of crashing. But the 50 series being more sensitive to voltage crashed instead of throttling, so yea. You probably spent years with a throttled 3070ti.
>>107823654won't be much but still worth something if you're decluttering. best you check local listings in the used market to get a feel for what u could get out of it still. sold my 2x8gb ddr4 round the same time i upgraded for just $40 while everyone else here's selling at $60, pretty much prices at retail back in 2023
>>107823657Should I replace my 5090 when the 6090 comes out?
>>107823709only if it somehow manages to be more power efficient
>>107823705Well that would make sense, my gaming performance was always a bit behind whatever benchmarks for my hardware would show.In any case, glad I fixed it and it was that simple.
>>107823709you should replace your 5090 with an rtx pro 6000 blackwell now
>>107823719I don't care about power efficiency, only performance.

>>107823816only 4k true rgb stripe oled + glossy coating + RGB woled no white subpixel color dilution + optional 480hz mode if you wanna esportfag it upso you can pretty much do everything unless you wanna go 1440p 540hz and lose all those benefitsor if u wanna go ultrawide and higher res then you will drop down to lower hz and so onbut it will probably be 1400€ like the pg27ucdm too so
