I consider 4k a meme that is still not even really exploited, I cant even believe 5k is not just retarded this early
>>
I'm gonna abandon amazon and buy the monitor on newegg instead. I found out the freight forwarder I use (supposedly) takes returns from all suppliers now so long as you have the RMA, I think in the past they only let you return stuff you bought from amazon so that's why I was putting up with waiting for Amazon.

That said now im wondering that if i wait a bit longer, maybeI will get from a batch of monitors with the grey banding fixed.
maybe amazon is taking so long because gigabyte wants to make sure the stuff they sell on amazon is good? I don't know. I don't know whats going oooooon
>>
>>107828620
I remember when the 980 ti was marketed as the first 4k gaming gpu. Over a decade later the resolution is still a pain to run on flagships. 5k isnt even meme tier until we at least master 4k... I mean to the point even midrange cards like xx60 are 4k viable.
>>

I wouldn't trust Amazon's jeets with anything really expensive in the first place so good call

doesnt help that optimization is ass on everything now
I'm building a pc with 1440p in mind, if I can run 4k nicely so be it but I dont care,

Remember that report some time ago about a German retailer saying they can't get any distribution for high end GPUs available? Yeah the same is happening in Japan now too, and restocks are looking shaky, it's anyone guess when they will ever arrive

I let everything sit for a week at most. I build on Sundays. Get up early, have coffee, some breakfast, muck about on the internet for a bit, then around 10am I get to it. I have my building area all set to go the night before, so I can just dive in. I take many breaks at logical stopping points. I generally get it up and booted before dinner. After dinner, I spend the evening tweaking the bios, installing software, Steam, and test everything out. It's a very slow-paced, relaxing day.

I will admit to opening up the motherboard box and installing the CPU before build day.

This week i decided to hedge my risks.

I have an 3080ti and now bought a 5080. I game on G9 ultrawide so the extre juice is welcomed and i want to avoid the risk of not being able to upgrade in the next two years.


Planning to keep the 3080ti as backup if 5080 burns down my house, and if the shortage gets worse ill sell it for what i bought it for in 2021.


My psu is not atx 3.0 rated, whats safest bet for me, at least the MSI adapter is a fire hazard from what i hear

Pulsar is great. 30-40% reduction in peak brightness. It'll save you from mild, but annoying eye strain!
>>
>>107830018
what is this referring to?
>>
>>107829989
Definitely considering Pulsar but the prices seem steep at ~$650.
Meanwhile the Gigabyte M27Q3 is half that price for a 1440p 320hz super speed IPS.
I wonder how noticeable/worth it 320hz vs Pulsar is?
>>
>>107830026
320hz monitor without strobing has worse image clarity than pulsar at 100 + you need to run the game at 320hz to get the maximum clarity out of it which can be alleviated with the help of nvidia frame gen, but still.
If you do path traced games which are heavy even on 5070 ti at 1440p you'll have <100fps and pulsar will be the clearer option.
>>
>>107830059
I prefer to turn pathtracing/raytracing off so I'll definitely hit 100+ fps in all games with a 5070Ti.

Not convinced that improved image clarity is worth $300 more in price. I'll probably just hold onto my current 1440p 144hz monitor and see if any good deals on Pulsar monitors come around. Thanks anon.

it was always a question of can you run games at good fps or not
with the dlss 4.5 stuff like 5070 ti are perfectly fine running games at 4k since the native res can be 1080p or less.

its not like games look bad at 27" 1440p so it depends on your gpu

Currently have a

I'd like to upgrade the GPU, I'm mostly interested in 1080p gaming, maybe 1440p in the future but all I really care about is 1080p, trying to hit 120FPS+ in most games. The GPU served me fine but I think it's dying on me so I'd like to replace it without having to replace the other parts. I don't mind spending extra for a nice GPU, just really don't feel like rebuilding my PC. Any suggestions that's compatible with what I have?

Should I use a standalone motherboard for a poorfag general use PC, or can I still get by using a (newer) Dell workstation? Not sure what I should expect to spend, but my use case is gayming, 3D modeling; blender, and dipping my toes into general AI use. I'm basing the build around DDR4 and PCIe4 compatibility, since the ship has long sailed for DDR5 (might as well cut corners on DDR5 compatibility). I was originally going to use a Haswell-era Dell (DDR3, PCIe 3) I had laying around, which is sufficient for gayming, but using that for AI use is probably retarded/underwhelming.

GPU I'll probably go with is an RTX 3060 since I read that's a good starting point for AI use, though I'm not sure what variant is sufficient/necessary.

I don't know much about motherboards nor PC building in general, but I've often read that the x99 is a solid platform for poorfag builds (that was true a few years ago anyway).

This sounds potentially nice. Nothing new tho and it seems to leave gamma unchanged while I'd want a slight increase in gamma if it gets darker in my room.

It's an upgrade but hardly a mind blowing one. I upgraded from a 32" 1440p VA non-HDR display to a 32" 4K QD-OLED HDR display last summer and IMO the upgrades in color, contrast, and brightness are far more noticeable on an everyday basis than the upgrade in resolution. Then again I mostly got it to view 4K UHDs I ripped myself so my use case is probably different than yours.

It's unlikely.
CPUs have been split between consumer and enterprise for a very long time now so the production lines are pretty distinct.
For a while, AM4 CPUs went up in price because they use DDR4, and are out of production. But, that's calmed down a little bit now.
>>
>>107831734
Only CPUs that support DDR4 memory are increasing in price, simply because the RAM is cheaper. I doubt the 7800X3D is going to increase in price, but you can never be sure.

I was faced with the same choice and chose to pay like 60% more for 40% more performance by ordering a 14600K.

14400F is probably the right choice for price:performance ratio which put me in the same spot you're in but if $100 or so isn't that much money for you, a 14600K will "be enough" for longer and potentially have cost you less after a year or two by delaying your next upgrade, making it effectively cheaper than the 14400F including that you have the use of a somewhat faster CPU all that time.

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/intel-core-i5-14400-cpu-review/4
The upshot of this article is that Ryzen is better but it's based around assumptions like
>new build
>DDR5 being available and affordable
>you not reusing existing hardware
>probably others I can't be bothered thinking about
>benchmark scores are all that matters to you
I assume you've decided on Intel for reasons that aren't important to us and you're just choosing which Intel to get at this point.

If money is tight though, the 14400F ought to be good enough for just about anything for a few years and who knows what the PC market will look like then. Maybe we'll wi-blip our phones to monitors and game using bluetooth smart-watches as universal controllers that read gestures, virtual typing and makes every screen a touch-screen. Who the fuck knows.

I was eyeing a 5070 Ti (fuck your AMD shill I'm a white man I built my own compiler) as a brazilian person and the cheapest one (R$6200 or about $1k) was just bought and now the min price is R$6900 which is like $1.2k. I was so close to buying it

can't a nigga catch a break??
>>
>>107831991

Thanks for replying. I'm choosing Intel because I read that Intel is less dependent on memory speed, and the RAM I am reusing is DDR4-2400 from a dead X99 platform, and I have four sticks of it. Its Micron B-die D9TBH, dual rank 8 Gbit.

I'm open to AMD suggestions too. Not chasing maximum FPS, just want it to be cheap and usable. 14600k is ~272 USD / 233 EUR here.

>I'm open to AMD suggestions too.
Well, you have some benchmarks linked above if you want to check out the competition and see how a comparably priced AMD platform would work out.


>Not chasing maximum FPS, just want it to be cheap and usable.
Then it should be fine.

>14600k is ~272 USD / 233 EUR here.
So similar to me, 60% price increase for about 40% more performance. Whether that's worth it is down to your short-term budget. There are (arguably, I think there are, not everyone would agree) hidden savings in buying higher-end components but whether those savings are accessible to you depends on how much you can reasonably spend now and only you can answer that.

may or may not improve depending on your pc specs and the game engine itself*

way more annoying than tearing, tearing way harder to see compared to that
but I haven't syncmaxxed enough maybe vrr is actually good

just buy pulsar2 then

I have an arc b580. It's a great gpu for what it is, but I want something from them that can compete in the 9070/5070 range. XPU is surprisingly competent as a hardware acceleration platform, but they need to put it into a GPU that has enough power to actually be useful for productivity if they want to attract non-gamers.

i bought a 5090 and was getting black screens. asked around and one of the suggestions was to try the other pcie slot. and it actually worked. the card works normally on it. so i'm trying to figure out why this is happening

i had a heatsink on this ssd between the pcie slots. removing it didn't change anything. this box thing in red, i don't know what it is and if i can remove it, but maybe that's getting in the way? besides that, i'm out of ideas. i don't think it's either thing getting in the way either

iirc one of the suggestions was clearing the cmos. would that help? if so, why? my current gpu (4080) is working fine on that slot. i can understand it not working because something is getting in the way and not letting the card sit properly, but not resetting the cmos

any ideas/suggestions? do i need a new motherboard? ffs

you lose performance if you use the other slot since its only wired for x4 lanes

Ah, I have one of those and it fits on my motherboard with a similar type of chipset heatsink. If anything, the case's curvature seems pretty suspect to me

i would try running the ram without xmp/ docp and disabled pbo on your cpu.

Get a native 2x 8-pin PCIe to 12V-2x6 power cable if you own a high-end ATX 2.x PSU.
You need to check for PSU compatibility. Below is an example of an official Corsair cable.

Nah, it's rock solid 5.2ghz on all cores the entire time, no dips at all, and it doesn't slowly creep up either, it'll sit at 89-90 degrees on all cores for the entire time.

What it PROBABLY means, is anon set a custom thermal limit in the BIOS and potentially is using a negative PBO curve offset.

The 9800X3D has a TJmax of 95C and it'll happily sit at 90C all day of your cooler can keep up unless you've specifically set your BIOS to a lower thermal limit.
