Speaking of monitors, are black smearing and ghosting really that dramatically noticeable in any use case, or does this only become a problem for esportsfags? My use cases are mostly weebshit watching/reading and casual gaming (I plan to lock the monitor at 120hz forever)The problem is that decently priced 1440p IPS monitors simply does not exist in my third world shithole, I'm either paying 2~3x more compared to VA screens, or I am left with the absolute bottom of the barrel nobrand monitors (white label chink garbage)
i have a 12700k with 64 gigs of DDR4 ram should i panic buy a 32 gig kit of DDR5 and just hold onto it until i am ready to upgrade my CPU?
>>107869096DDR5 is simply not a big enough upgrade over DDR4 to justify the retarded prices
>>107869096Going from 64 to 32 is painful so no
>>10786909632gb is on the chopping block48gb is the minimum for future proofing
I LOVE nvidia
so what are the odds devs will finally have to optimize their games for current hardware rather than future hardware, especially if the ps6 get delayed
>>107869109>>107869111but my 12700k is starting to feel long in the tooth >>107869119>future proofing we all know this is a myth
>>107869127Switch 2 just came out and so did plenty of AMD handhelds. That's basically the target hardware. Old Ampere / RDNA2 2 hardware.
>>10786913212700k is still good. How are you defeating it?
>>107869096unless your DDR4 is really slow that won't accomplish anything
>>107869142im not but windows has a delay on starting shut down now and i cant help but think its cause the CPU is getting older
Well, it's been a good run guysPart 3766477436
>>107869158Wtf no
>>107869127eh i honestly doubt any companies that didn't give a fuck about optimizing before are going to care about it now. they'll churn out a few flops and then dip out of the industry. the companies that do already optimize will do a lot better in this environment. AA and indies will probably also do a bit better.i'm also wondering if it's just me, or if consumer sentiment entirely is turning against gaming. like i don't really especially want to play new games anymore. i like marvel rivals and i play friendslop sometimes, but other than that i don't really care about anything new that comes out. nowadays i'd rather spend my money on real things i can touch and i can guarantee won't be made retarded later, like airsoft guns, tools for tinkering, and funny looking clothes
>>107869158by that reasoning you might as well assume that the output in the power station is fluctuating
>>107869087Even scrolling on slow VAs will cause white text to disappear on a black background. Whether this is actually a problem I don't know, as I've never personally had to deal with it.
What's the word on the street, will SSD prices go down or what?
>>107869178Up, nigga. They're NAND
>>107869163so why is there such a long delay between hitting shut down and the computer actually shutting down it was not like this a few months ago it takes like 30-60 seconds for the " shutting down" screen to appear now or are we all ready to admit windows 11 just sucks major cocks?
>>107869178Not for a while, if evenNow they're saying PSUs and even CPU coolers will go up
>>107869184Lots of reasons, mostly OS related. Could be bloatware too. Reinstalling your os would probably give you the day 1 experience.
>>107869184Explain, logically, how your CPU could EVER possibly be the root cause.
>>107869067owl penis brand
>>107869200this install is from a day ago and it still does it and its done with autounattend.xml to remove the bloat >>107869205it could be the CPU the RAM or the storage but the CPU is the oldest part
>>107869127>[mh:wilds] apparently constantly checks whether you own every piece of released DLC, and for each DLC that you do not own, the performance gets worse.>Account 1: Base game only with severe FPS drops (20-25 FPS in hubs)>Account 2: All DLC installed with smooth performance (80+ FPS)>Capcom was forced to cancel a technical lecture it was scheduled to hold at the Computer Entertainment Developers Conference 2025 (CEDEC) event in Japan due to harassment from players.This makes me happy. Honestly serves Crapcom right for the absolute state of REngine. It's probably the worst engine in regular use today. Worse than Unity even.
>>107869173AA and indies aren't really any better they just don't stick RT everywhere so you can run their games in native 4k most of the time.
>>107869178This is old word on the street. TLC prices go up. QLC prices stay the same.
>>107869229That's a novel way of doing pay to win
>>107869215Yeah the problem is probably that you used a debloater despite not being all that tech savvy. Those things arent to be used carelessly...None of those components grow slower with physical age...
>>107869229RE 2 Remake was running on my old 1070 at 60+ FPS maxed. It's not the engine.
the 1080ti I bought 8 years ago for 750 is dying bros... I am distraught
Test
>>107869250So? Had a good run.
>>107869208fuck u
>>107869244i didn't use a "debloater" i used an autounattendf.xml file from a generator and it didn't cause problems in the past i swear people never listen
>>107869215Lol CPU and RAM don't get slower with age retard.
>>1078692505070 12 GB is still easily available for MSRP. Time for an upgrade, a huge upgrade. Hope you're just a regular weak kneed fag and not a destitute weak kneed fag
>>107869186PSU prices going up unfortunately makes sense. It's so fucking sad to see industry you once loved kill itself first by pandering to imaginable audiences then refusing to sell hardware to gamers. End of an era bros. End of an era.
>>107869256it did, but now relative equivalent gpus are an assload more expensive
>>107869261It didn't cause problems in the past, but it EVENTUALLY will because you've essentially "broken" your windows installation and future updates can and will eventually break things further because the updates will expect components or files that you previously had removed.
>>107869266but software gets more demanding especially windows 11
>>107869279its an LTCS copy it only gets security updates its either going to be that or linux i WIL NOT tolerate copilot
>>107869297>release version ltsc with only security updatesYou're running an extremely fringe windows installation and wondering why weird shit is happening...
Maybe I'm a fool, but hear me out. I bought a good windows laptop in 2012, was forced to upgrade it to 8.1, 10, I think it's running a kind of sketchy windows 11 now. And I've replaced the HD and fan, it's beat to shit, so I'm looking to upgrade. But really, really strange thing. New PCs seem to have worse specs then my 2012 laptop. On paper, way better. But then you check the fine print. The OS of new PCs weights 5 times more than mine does, their advertised HD space isn't actually their usable HD space. And they come with gigs of bloatware which it seems can't be deleted any more. I had to change my system to stop windows force downloading bloat, usually redundant service packs which just accumulate over time. Because I just put a new HD into my old laptop, as HDs cost bizarrely little now, that's no real gain in a new PC in that respect. Then the RAM, new PCs are meant to have amazing ram specs, and again, on paper they're way better. But in practice it seems like their idle ram (if that's a thing) is enormous. They run so many background processes, mostly system background, security related, that I'm not really convinced. Graphics? Again, really strange. New PCs seem to run optimised graphics, and claim the performance as the optimised rate. But hardware wise? Not convinced. They all have this weird photoshop look, and while they look a heap better I'm not convinced the hardware is really better per-ce, it's just optimised, which i suspect drains system resources. So i leave the store more puzzled then anything else. There doesn't seem to be anything my pc can't actually run, even in 2026, only app based programs that actively prevent my PC from trying to run them. Is this cope or is this a real thing?
>>107869178Already went up and continuing
>>107869313bloat? no its definitely fucked to the gills now, if anything stronger hardware just encouraged less optimization
>>107869308yes and i will not run stock did you not hear me? copilot is useless buggy bloated trash that serves no purpose other than being annoying and in the way like all "assistants" id rather deal with a slightly delayed shut down
Did nvidia ever expand their ass-backwards list of 32-bit physx emulation list for 50 series? I only remember seeing mirrors edge and arkham there.
>>107869350Still the same 7 games afaikBorderlands 2 is included too
>>107869337I've ran windows 11 since betaI've never once encountered copilotIDK what's with the brainworm that if a windows feature exists you must use it
>>107869337OK well a new cpu isnt going to fix your problem
>>107869367the next update it putting it into file explorer trust me it will be unavoidable at some point and if im not using it it shouldn't be there all of these "features" should be opt in or opt out
>>107869360hey I'm happy that alice is there tooreplying ME and seeing empty flagpoles was rough.
Waitsisters I don't feel so good
>>107869382Windows features are always opt outtableYou think every corporate network wants copilot in their file explorer?Fuck no which is why there is basically a group policy for literally every windows feature
The only positive about this whole situation is that 5070 ti is now rare and premium GPU (lol) and if it can't run new games probably nothing can.
>>107869404its also why there is autiounattend.xml which i use to remove all the features i dont want
>>107869404>group policy>on most people's version of windowsDoes he know?
>>107869433memory requires a different type of fab
>>107869417And it doesn't hand ANY downside, besides making you retarded enough to think your CPU age impacts shutdown timeLmao what a fucking moron.
>>1078694155080 must be ultra premium bling bling boy tier then
Is liquid cooling superior to air cooling if you want the max performance from an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, especially single-core performance?
>>107869424>can build pc>can install os>apparently incapable of choosing anything other than windows home
>>107869445it's the 2nd best GPoo on the planet so yes
just panic bought a 5070ti after hearing the news like a good goyim. I probably would have bought a 5090 if it was actually around $3k but when it's $3.6k+ I'm just not going to even bother. upgrading from a 3080
>>107869447liquid with a >280mm radiator always cools better than air
>>107869442the only downside is not having the features your didnt want its literally a config file for the windows installer to make it as the file is called unattended it literally cuts the install time by 30 minutes to an hour while skipping the "OOTB experience" that wastes a ton of fucking time
>>107869334>stronger hardware just encouraged less optimizationThat's obviously true to a degree, but to what extent? Because Jesus christ, I'm looking at the list of update packages for consoles and new systems I've hard blocked my PC trying to install, they must be 6 times larger than my entire OS. Not even joking.Back in the day we had to put up with some pretty hideous video codex and lossy files, but we dumped them the second we could, and none were actually features of the PC itself. At one stage I was running a second PC just as a service stack for for rendering and imaging disks and these hideous files but these days i don't need to. But it's still the same PC I'm using. There's fucked to the gills and then there's like... whatever the fuck this is now. Windows 11 home apparently needs 50 FUCKING GIGS to run smoothly, and runs 6 FUCKING GIGS of idle ram.Literally what the fuck is that. I'm looking at $3000 gaming PCs, with 16 gig of ram, and the OS will eat half of that straight up. My fucking 2012 craptop came with i think 4, it had only two ram slots, and i don't think it was compatible with newer ram cards so I just jammed two 4gig cards into it I got for free. But that means, based solely on idle RAM, my 2012 system, which was not high end, floats 6-7 gig of ram, and the $3000 gaming PC you could buy brand new today, is only floating 8.Am I a total retard? Am I missing something here? I rip ram from old PCs for free, every junked office PC from 2010 has a ram card in it, i get a terabyte HD from old set top boxes.
>>107869445This nigga would own a 5080 Suprim Liquid.
>>107869462Only one company makes jeetpoos
>>107869447If you're getting a CPU like that you're going to get an expensive AIO to match it
>>107869433A lot of this shit is locked down by IP
>>107869178try asking again in 2027because this year is guaranteed to have no dropsif anything they will keep getting more expensive
>>107869462That's the 4090 thoughever
>>107869476Windows 11 I've found to be lighter for disk usage Kinda floored when I installed it in a virtual machine and disk usage was like 12GB versus 21GB for Windows 10
>>107869523correct but it's also 500W house fire while only being 30% more powerful at best
>>107869545The 5080 is a house fire as well, everything with that connector is.
>>107869553undervolted 5070 ti is equivalent to 6+8 pin PCE in term of power draw
So are 5060 ti 16gb and 5070 ti 16gb rare limited EoL cards now? sure vram was expensive but they could just rise the prices rather than EoL them unless they were too good
>>107869627Who knows, maybe we will get Supers with yield optimized core counts and new pricing reflecting GDDR5 pricing. Doesn't really make sense for cut down GB203 to just disappear from the consumer market.
When will MSI safeguard PSU release? I won't use a 5090 without it
God am I glad I don't need an upgrade this decade
>>107869178Hey kid, want to buy 2TB TLC for $200?
>>1078695454090 only pulls 410W at most and usually only low 300s
Is this worth upgrading to form a 3060 12gb if I also still have a r5 3600 CPU, or will the latter cause a bottleneck? I don't ever see my CPU use 100%
>>107869698>something is safe cause it was called safe god you idiots fall for it everyime
>>107869698get a wireview pro ii
>>107869698You're a very dumb person.
>>107869532Windows 11 is very light in terms of dedicated space, which is why i was able to bootleg upgrade my decade old crap to run it. It's size would be impressive but the hog. Jesus. It will eat 40 gig and half your ram if you just happen to have that much. A new Windows 11PC eats more memory in idle then my PC even runs at 100%.And I don't want to talk about Windows to much, but when I'm looking at hardware it's entirely relevant. My craptop from 2012 with $150 of upgrade runs almost as well as the brand new $3000 gaming PC they tried to sell me. So now I just have no idea what the fuck is going on. Ram shortage? Nigger I have ram cards for days, all taken from high end 2000-2010 office hardware that only had it to play obnoxious video codex and inbred disk burning programs. I got a cardboard box full of RAM for free and niggers are saying there's a ram shortage. Is genuinely impressive how large ram cards have got, but what the fuck are people actually doing with that much ram?
>>107869698imbecile
Does anyone here own an Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-45 series)I'm thinking of upgrading my RAM from 16 GB (2x8 GB) to 64 GB (2x32 GB) but (((acer))) says it only supports 32 GB in total.When I run "wmic memphysical get maxcapacity" it returns 64 GBIf anyone has upgraded their RAM of Nitro 5 before, let me know xo

So might be a stupid question but is ROPs issue still a thing with relatively new supply of GPUs?
>>107869735>>107869738>>107869748Retards, it checks any abnormality and starts beeping when the voltage is suspiciously high. You just have to turn it off to prevent melting because melting isn't INSTANT.>>107869736Those PSUs will do what wireview does

just played for a week with vrr (with vsync and also frame rate caps as well to see the difference) and it's honestly awsome. going back to non vrr feels like going from 144hz to 50hz. >>107869731my brother uses a 3600 and a 3060 12gb. beamng is like the only game that doesn't fully use the 3060 with his settings.
>>107869766not at all. that was fixed in the first 2-3 months
>>107869780-3 fps or did you go the calculation to get 0.3ms of buffer?
>>107869770so it relies entirely on the users ability to perceive quiet beeps from the back of their machine? god i hope you dont have headphones or loud speakers when you game
>>107869759Wow I'm retarded, somehow I forgot to type 5060ti
>>107869798The beeping is loud and the entire PC shuts down if you don't react. The more expensive ones also have a pop-up on your screen.
>>107869786Thanks. Just feels weird that people keep mentioning it in the reviews like they won a lottery.
>>107869770>Those PSUs will do what wireview doesSo why are you waiting for whenever they release that PSU instead of just getting a wireview now?
>>107869808>the entire PC shuts down if you don't react 'this should be what it does to start with
>>107869806it's all the same unless you're buying 4070 ti super or 5070 ti
>>107869815Those PSUs were announced recently, they already exist, I don't want to bother with yet another accessory when the all-in-one solution is at my doorstep
>>107869791did the -3 fps. also used the calculator with the 0.3 ms, and honestly it doesn't matter to me at high frame rates in story games. i'm also perfectly fine with using regular vsync in most games to limit my fps. i still wouldn't use vrr in something like cs2 since i get like 500 fps there and can still notice the input lag (it's like the only exception to me since it runs so great anyway).
>>107869698>MSI safeguard PSU>beepsthat actually seems potentially really annoying, like 100x worse than a display telling you something is up
>my reddit feed is suddenly full of dying 9800x3ds again but this time it's from asus on the same mobo as mehrm i guess it'll be my turn soon then. i've had mine since may last year. was hoping the batch i got (25whatever) was safe but i guess not. a lot of the ones dying now are from the same batch.

>>107870052RDNA1 and RDNA3 both had lots of cards that simply refused to work at stock clock speeds(for example, AMD added a workaround in their driver to downclock the 7900 XTX if you played helldivers 2)early ryzen 3000 was pretty bad as well, that was more down to the 7nm process not being mature than any silicon bugs, but some of them couldn't reach anything close to the advertised clock speeds

>>107870438Put your build into part picker and see how much it draws
>>107870430Anon, That 0.3mOhm figure is just the design target; in practice, every motherboard OEM sets their own defaults. Because every board has different physical resistance and VRM quality, your LLC (Load-Line Calibration) setting is ultimately what dictates the actual delivered loadline. On many ASUS and ASRock boards, the 'Auto' LLC is often tuned too aggressively, which can cause high-voltage transient spikes when the CPU suddenly drops from a heavy load to idle that's likely what's behind these recent 9800X3D failure reports.
>>107870438750W is plenty.
>niggier itt cant handle green brand news>(((suddenly))) news from redditniggers about amd cpus are being reposted herehmm

>>107870474llc is dogshit anways. got the best results on the lowest setting. what does it matter if the cpu is running a bit high at idle? it's not like does anything. no heat and amps no nothing. the voltage can stay high as long as it drops under load under high heat and amps. every board should have the option to just disable llc fully. it's dogshit anyways. no vrm can react that fast to a voltage change. it's just cope.
>>107870474>That 0.3mOhm figure is just the design target; in practice, every motherboard OEM sets their own defaultsi knowbut why would they calibrate it to anything else? the boost algorithm has a fixed targetperformance does not improve on AMD from adjusting LLCset it too steep at the VRM and you get clock stretching, causing worse performanceset it too shallow at the VRM and you get overvoltage, causing worse temps and power draw>'Auto' LLC is often tuned too aggressivelyprove it and i mean on a modern AM4 or AM5 boardAM3 and intel works differentlythe wisdom from your old sandy bridge rig doesn't apply here

>>107870497I'm not talking about old-school manual OC; I'm talking about the specific interaction between the Precision Boost algorithm and AM5 VRM transient response.The issue isn't high voltage at idle—it’s Vmax overshoot during load release. On the Strix X870E-E specifically, 'Auto' LLC has been observed in oscilloscope testing (and logged in HWiNFO) to allow transients exceeding 1.45V when high-current loads stop. For the 3D V-Cache, which acts as a thermal blanket over the cores, these micro-spikes are cumulative.>>107870502>prove itThe proof is in the Power Reporting Deviation and VCore overshoot logs that have been flooding the ROG forums this month.

Intel shills or nicotroon returned to cause drama, totally organic posts hereI saw that faggot on /v/ posting the same fucking images ALSO>13th and 14th gen IntelYeah like I want to trust them after this>Intel LGA1700 processors are slightly convex factory new but become highly concave once the socket’s ILM (internal loading mechanism) is closed to press the CPU into the socket. This deformation can be reduced by putting 1mm washers underneath the ILM to reduce ILM pressure (the so called “washer mod”) or by using custom ILM replacements that apply less pressure (“contact frames” or “bending reduction frames”). However, when CPUs have been used with full ILM pressure for longer periods of time, the deformation can become partly plastic (i.e. the CPUs are permanently deformed and don’t go back to their original shape when removed from the socket). Nice deformed CPUs... Honk honkThis is why I switched to AMD CPU this last gen
>>107870723New cooler, not just the contract plate.The plate I just got because Amazon gave me like 75% off on it if I bought it and some MX-7. So I figured why not.Previously I had the ID-Cooling A620.
can someone explain why TVs look like this? (55" S95B QDOLED pictured)why is diagonal lines showing? low ppi? source material? I noticed this on VA TV viewing very close too, it's like the entire picture had diagonal lines, in windows and so on

I'm going to keep using my 1080 Ti until the next decade and I will be happy
>>107870783Surprisingly easy.It came with the Allen key you need. Just turn those four screws out and it comes right off, new one goes right on. Don't unsocket your CPU or anything. It connects to the back plate behind the board. However, if you unscrew the mounting bracket before you unscrew the frame, nothing will be left holding the back plate on, and it will fall off. And then you have to awkwardly lift your case up whist being terrified everything is going to fall off and break. So, basically. Remove CPU Cooler from bracket > Remove stock frame > fit new frame > remove bracket

>>107870917i like it, but i wouldn't use it with an nvidia gpu (had too many bugs with my 4070). i also still dual‑boot ltsc for assetto corsa and vr. with nvidia and their hardware, it works just fine on day one and slowly gets better over time, while with amd it takes a bit when they release new stuff, but it is great and really fast. 'external' vs the driver being part of the kernel. vrr also just works now on both kde and gnome, which is great, but not on smth like ubuntu 24.04 lts because it uses an old gnome version. same with kde on kubuntu. anything newer like cachyos, bazzite, and fedora just works. you also have to learn a few new things, but i don't mind.

>>107869313>>107869476It used to be that PCs were getting much more powerful rapidly but also cheaper. That has slowed down hugely now, and we've seen examples of things getting more expensive.I had a PC for 10 years with basic graphics built into the CPU, it cost £300. When I went to replace it 10 years later, it seemed that I would just be buying the exact same PC for the same price.But the hardware would all be better and faster still. A 4 core CPU at 3ghz from 10 years prior would have a different architecture. I compared the specs and the newer one would have been substantially more powerful.

Would you guys get a 32 or a 27 inch monitor (oled) for a 4k setup?I was thinking about getting a 32 one for some time now, but some sites (like r*ddit) are shilling 27 really hard saying how it's so much better because of the ppi.Currently rocking a 1440p monitor at 27 inch, so I'm sure 32 inch 2160p will be much sharper, however I'm not sure if a 27 inch 2160p would be worth it just because it looks even sharper than that.

what's the point of not buying the cheapest motherboard that supports your CPU? do you even need a premium motherboard to undervolt?
>>107869067Should I? Redpill me on the 5080 FE, I'm sick of putting up with AMDs crashtastic drivers, I currently have a 9070XT and I'm using drivers from September(?).
>>107871128It used to matter a lot. Circa 2020 when cpus first started going retard mode on power between intel late stage 14nm housefires amd ayyymd making 16 core chips for the first time. You could not afford to cheap out if you had a beast cpu. Nowadays? Power delivery is way more robust. I don't think any motherboard will be too anemic to run any cpu.
>>107871150Is that the cheapest 5080?
>>107871128You don't want to put a 16-core CPU on a bare 4 phase VRM with no cooling, and 2 ram slots.
I'm debating whether I should upgrade from a 3080 Ti to a 9070 XT or even a 5070 Ti. When I use it the 3080 Ti sometimes feels a bit slow, but at the same time those cards don't seem like a major leap. I'm not willing to spend more on something even more expensive.Has anyone gone from a 3080 Ti to a 5070 Ti? Is it a significant boost in practice? I've got a 4k monitor.>>107871098It is much better due to PPI, yes, but in reality what actually matters is PPD so you need to take your viewing distance into account. If you have your monitor at about 65cm (arm's length) or even closer then 27" but if it's significantly farther than that like closer to 1m then you should probably get a 32" screen.>>107871128Good quality VRM with proper cooling and all the features & connectivity you need.
>>10787109832" is way bigger than 27"if you actually wanna use 100% scaling 32" easilyif for some reason you want 4k 27" only current alternative is qdoled which might be an upgrade if you picked 32"+qdoled AND it's causing eyestrain due to subpixelscurrent 4k 27" qdoled panels are also better than the 32" counterparts due to 5 layer qdoled better colorsI haven't compared 27" 4k qdoleds irl so can't say for sure how much better it is, 32" fringing is easily visiblemy unscientific eyesafety ranking list XG32UCWMG > PG/XG27UCDM > PG32UCDMR
What is a PC build that would be needed for running AI video generation?
Fuck my FOMO ass, am I really going to be forced to upgrade to a 5060ti 16gb from an almost 5 year old 3060 due to this EoL bullshit shortage and AI winter coming up? I have a 9600x I got on a bundle with Wilds and a 500gb SSD like half a year ago that breathed new life into my rig so I didn't feel any need to upgrade anymore but this horrible fate that awaits us has me thinking if I should just pull the trigger now and sell the 3060 down the line when the prices blow up. I still play at 1080p for that matter and have no plans of getting a new monitor since I'm kind of a compfag.
>>107871128They are less prone to make any hardware component degrade
>be nvidia 5090 owner>want to try new dlss 4.5>try to update shit nvidiot app>tells me there's a problem and i need to reinstall everytime i boot my pc>mfw>have to go into /programdata and delete the drs files to get it to work properlylife of a nvidia customer right here
Against the power of silicon valley, there can be no victory.
>>107871128Bougier motherboards generally have nicer tools for debugging and troubleshooting.Power delivery matters for overclock, but not really for real people.
>>107871150the amount of retards that bought an amd card only to buy an nvidia card a month or 2 later is astounding. you retards claim you're better with your money and then you buy TWO video cards lmfao wtf
>>107871071Retard schizo newfag, try again. Also wouldn't be surprised if you're the Nico xemselves. I called you out on the /v/ thread. Again, isolated incidents unlike Intels . Notice how my image has never been used before? Learn2archive.
>>107871199Well both cards will need to use upscaling if you watn to play recent slop at a high refresh rate on 4k, check this video and see if you think you could live with FSR 4 performance at 4k, both cards have similar performance but the trade-off comes in image quality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXAYR-ZtbH4
>5070ti end of life alreadygrim
>>107871253Yes we know newfag, thanks for the third repost
>>107871259Sorry I'm not glued to my PC touchless virgin
>>107871253you can still buy the 5080 what do you mean?
>>107871265Fuck off normalfag.
>>107871277>reddit image>correct nomenclature in texthm
>>107871266>most sensible cards like 5060ti 16gb 5070ti 16gb retired>keeping the cucked 5060ti 8gb, 5070 12gb and overpriced 5080 (not 24gb like it's supposed to be) in production
>>107871266Watercooled models only unless you get lucky with FE gacha from Nvidia>>107871266
>>107871211If you have the nvidia app go to global settings, DSR factor and enable super resolution ( DL scaling 2560x1440) you'll get your monitor to render 1440p, which may make things like performance using preset M less expensive on some AAA slop games it could help your 3060 to run or benefit a little bit from DLSS 4.5 ( is way less taxing at performance and should look better than DLSS qualitry at 1080p) or at least make you feel less retarded about your fomo purchase as you would at least be able to use the extra vram without buying a new monitor
>>107871303games are virtual toysthe better memory is being used on important life changing things instead
>>107871265You can't scan a single thread? Go away attention whore/shitposter. You're doing no one favors if you think posting a screenshot of a YouTube video 12 hours later is some sort of way of "news".
>>107871303>>107871307You will never be a real 80-class GPU. You have no GB202 silicon, you have no 320-bit/ 384-bit bus, you have no 20GB/ 24GB of VRAM. You are a mid-range GB203 chip twisted by Jensen’s greed and a $1,000 MSRP into a crude mockery of a flagship’s perfection. All the "validation" you get from benchmarks is two-faced and half-hearted; behind your back, the entire enthusiast community mocks you for having only 49% of the 5090's CUDA cores. Your specs are a dead giveaway - 16GB of VRAM and a 256-bit bus is the "mid-range bone structure" that proves you are just a 70-series card in a suit. Even if a drunk gamer brings you home, they’ll turn tail and bolt the second they see you choking on 4K textures because you lack the bandwidth and "breathing room" of a real enthusiast card. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake DLSS frame every morning and tell yourself it’s 4K gaming, but deep inside you feel the VRAM limitations creeping up like a weed, ready to crush your framerates under the unbearable weight of Ray Reconstruction. Eventually, it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll be listed on eBay for $400, and every buyer for the rest of eternity will know a mid-range 70-class chip is buried under that shroud. This is your fate. This is what Jensen chose for you. There is no turning back.>>107871315like ai porn?
>>107871246>Also wouldn't be surprised if you're the Nico xemselvessee this is how i know it's youwhy the fuck would you be calling out "nicotroon" for posting about exploding AMD CPUs when he's still pretending the problem doesn't existyou're too stupid to shitpost correctly>I called you out on the /v/ threadwhat thread? there are a lot of threads on /v/you can go spread some curry diarrhea in those because you get banned on sight if you're too obvious here>Notice how my image has never been used before? Learn2archivei know, you did that on purpose because it's too obvious when you post "nvidia stutter.webm" for the 50th time this weeklay low for a month or two, then you can take back the OP, it will be a fantastic spectacle for all to see
>>107871321no, ai data collectionai drones to kill people in foreign countriesai facial recognition so the government has a digital footprint of your every moveetc
>>107871066Just fine, thank you for askingI have 0 workloads that push my CPU to its limits
>>107871336what happened to "china bad". why everyone tryna be like them now?
How do I profit off the memory shortage chaos? what do I invest in?I'm dropping everything I own into stonks instead of buying hardwareI am too poor
>>107871336the last one is especially true btw. they have been silently putting up facial recognition cameras all across new york state for example. they do a lot more than just track your face too. everything about your life is in some government database
>>107871320why would i waste my time reading your bullshit threads where u argue about ur favorite brand
>>107871362burn
>>107871351china is bad and the united states being bad too doesn't negate china still being bad. that being said, the us is the lesser of two evils
>>107871351>what happened to "china bad"It was always only ever bad because we weren't the ones doing it
>>107871372now watch them race to the buttom lel
>>107871359I like being in a cyberpunk dystopia without the cool cybernetics shit.
>>107871384the us is in a race to become the next ww2 era germany and it's because dumb zoomers were easily indoctrinated by youtubers and tiktokers
>>107871326Because he is an agitator. I've seen that troon recycle so much to cause drama and false flag. Go away imbecile, your isolated incidents are funny to blow out of proportion comparing to the scare I saw with oxidation/microcode. Whatever, last (you). I don't care but it's funny to see very "organic" posts about a fucking net cafe in a third world shit hole.
>>107871399that's just a failure of the previous generation but go ahead and shift the blame.
>>107871313I'll try that out, thanks. I'll assume you believe buying the card IS retarded, is it because I'm still playing on 1080p or the FOMO?
>>107870011read the motherboard's manual recommendation, usually the sticks go in slot 2 and 4 as they are dual channel
>>107871179>with no coolingall you need is a fan blowing at the pcb
>>107871041Steve doesn't even review shit to compare. He basically runs a pc news site and tries to be Colombo.
linus is cool but he has a massive ego
lol come to think of it that guy earlier who was trying to convince us AMD is innocent with AI generated slop was probably nicotroon as welli thought it was a shill logging in with his VPN from mumbai but no it's just our favorite tranny doing it for freeagain(i understand the need for anonymity in your situation but you should at least change chatgpt's conversational style to make it look more human)
>>107871150That price sucks.
FUCK ITNEW NEW NEW>>107871569>>107871569>>107871569
I DUN GOOFED>>107871574
>>107871127I'd say it's more cosmetic than anything. It's neat and makes everything cleaner and easier to work with, but it's largely superfluous to actual performance.It's cheap though.
>>107871606I bought the contact frame just in case but apparently Noctua says to not really bother as it may cause problemsI'm moreso worried about board warping due to the D15 G2 I boughtBut apparently AI says that it's not really needed and may even void my mobo warranty.
>>107871421Honestly at this point i dont know it depends on if you'll be able to do somethign with those 16gb, if it just for 1080p e-sport something like a 5070 will be better but if the rumours are true then a 5060 ti 16gb assuming its not signfiicantly expensive than a 5070 and closer to msrp may be something that you may even be able to resell if the rumours of EoL are true, so yeah if you want to do AI slop or resell the card get the 5060 ti 16gb if you want to just game and feel less fomo get the cheapest 5070
Thoughts on this build? From UK trying to keep the price as close to £1000 as possible.https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DjTkGJalso was thinking about just buying 16gb of ram for now because a friend might be able to get me cheap 32gb in like 6 months time
