Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX V2

All I need is a 500Gb ssd for the OS (maybe a windows 11, or maybe a linux) and a case. Any good ssd for the os?
And what's a good case for this? I like the look of the Silverstone FLP02, but I want to use all 5 of my case fans. The Lian Li LANCOOL 216 fits the bill, but I dont like the rgb lights on the front

Why bother procuring GDDR6 chips for Radeon dGPUs when AMD can't even get them at competitive prices?
Especially when AMD is better off letting Sony get those GDDR6 chips to purchase PlayStation 5 & Pro SoC?
The PS5 Pro's SoC almost certainly costs less money to produce compared to a 9070/XT's GPU, given their die sizes (279 mm2 for the entire Pro SoC vs. 357 mm2 9070/XT GPU).

RTX 3060 production never stopped, and RTX 5050 also uses GDDR6 chips. These are the cards that will be installed in high-volume entry-level gaming PCs.
AMD is under far more pressure for GDDR6 memory chips, and their BOM cost to AIBs reflects this.

No other major GPU designer can get a better deal than NVIDIA's GDDR7 supply terms.
You retards need to stop acting like NVIDIA's the only company that will adjust gaming GPU distribution during this memory storage.

>>107939984
You'll get fuck all performance difference between models with the same GPU, so it's almost entirely about overall build quality and warranty.

I'd check a review on the Asrock given that Asus is notorious for having diabolical customer support.

I'm not talking about the performance or worthiness of the RTX 3060 or the 5050.
Those are the types of affordable RTX cards that prebuilt PC sellers buy in large quantities.
AMD is directly competing against NVIDIA & Sony for their GDDR6 memory procurement needs.

NVIDIA gets the best high-volume memory order terms because they are Samsung/Hynix/Micron's high-priority customer.

You should be fine if you don't vertically mount Gigabyte RTX 50 or RX 9000 cards; the thermal putty they've used could slip out after a few heat cycles.
If the card is noisy, undervolt (+OC to retain stock performance) & power limit it.

>You'll get fuck all performance difference between models with the same GPU

>>107940183
the other anon is correct that different fans have different noises.
I bought a thermalright se 90mm cpu cooler for $15 because it had better noise characteristics compared to alternative fans because a youtube video actually compared a bunch of fans against eachother.
But this was for a 12100f and the stock cooler was simply faulty because it did not have a smooth fan curve, it had steps for no reason. And the $15 90mm fan is overkill for the 12100f, I can run this 12100f at 100% load and the fans never go over 50% while it's at 70-80C.
But the fan you are looking at is a lot better than mine because the contact plate is flat, and it has 2 fans, and it's 120mm, so there is a chance that you will also only run at 50% fan speed, depending on your CPU.

>>107940617

i can't use lead acid UPSs, they die within like 12-18 months because my power company is shit and has regular brownouts/voltage droop where the batteries kick on for 5-10 minutes, which causes a "cycle" on the battery, and those cheap lead-acid units for UPSs are only rated for 300-500 charge cycles anyway.

Had to buy a Lithium UPS since the batteries have 2000+ charge cycles to them.

Yes, though it would depend on the PC.

Most consumer units max out at around 1500VA/1200W, but there is chinese UPS that is fairly new to the market that offers (somewhat) affordable 2000VA/1600W capacity.

That should be fully capable of running two simultaneous heavy computer loads at once.

my pr1500lcd runs my nas, my 3d printer, my pc, my router, modem, and 10gbe switch no issues. It's 1500 watts, so most dual pcs will run off it if, unless they are extremely beefy pcs running at max load.

The one in the image i posted, however, is only 1000 watts albeit it 1/3rd the price of mine. You could run a couple of low-mid range pcs off of it but definitely nothing higher end. Or just one high-end pc.

If you really are running 2 high power pcs consider a 2200-3000 watt unit but these start to get very expensive...

pretty odd because mine does not switch to battery unless it goes under 90-95 or above ~140-145. Maybe mine just has better avr because it's more expensive, IDK. Hell, my AVR doesn't even click on until around 113/127v, it's okay with small voltage excursions, since i set it to be a little less sensitive than it could be.

I'm in a really old area of the US which probably doesn't help as the infrastructure is probably old as hell.


Haven't had really any problems with the GoldenMate lithium unit I picked up last month, but it's only been a month, so not really long enough to tell for sure.

The upcoming big snow/ice storm this weekend might be a test though.

I'm in Asia temporarily and I can get a 5080 for $1436, tax included. wonder if it's worth it to get it and bring it back home to the states? I have a 3080 back at home. looking at the US prices, it seems a few hundred cheaper but I could be wrong

my first UPS was some amazon basics crap that was ostensibly a rebranded APC unit, it was junk, it simply didn't work. That's why when i went with a proper oem ups i decided to go cyberpower instead. So far it's been flawless. Just a couple of times where the voltage has gone too far for avr to correct really.

as u can see here ive gone as high as 140v in the last 29 hours and battery has not discharged at all.

>>107940777
oh yeah it's also at 137v apparently (avr fixing it to 120) and it's not on battery. I just have to assume APC avr is dog ass.

>>107937191
I watched a few videos on this, they're giving it high praises. pcpartpicker doesn't have a filter for pulsar yet. it essentially sounds like an OLED with forced G-sync and new backlight strobing tech? so it will still suffer from burn-in, and this tech will probably be rolled out to freesync displays in 2 years?

>>107940923
All pulsar monitors are IPS for now so no burn in

and looking around, it looks like these are going to be very expensive for a while. newegg only has these 3 models.
amazon has nothing because when you search pulsar monitor it shows you pulse oximeters, which is a medical tech for measuring your pulse and oxygen saturation levels by clamping to your finger. what a shit website amazon has become.

this will definitely be something to keep my eye on though since I want higher than 1080p with all the autism of benq TN panels.

What are you looking to upgrade to? And OLED? I don't really see monitors increasing in price unless it's just from companies using RAM prices as an excuse to price gouge.

OLEDs are in a good place. nVidia™ Pulsar™ is great, but brand new and really only applies to LCD for now.

The OLED & miniLED monitor market is improving every year.
Shame you can't say the same for regular LCD monitors. Pulsar isn't using a special IPS display; it's a novel strobing technique that is compatible with VRR.

>>107940923
>this tech will probably be rolled out to freesync displays in 2 years
It will never get to freesync (as in, gsync modules on AMD).
And I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia patented their solution (since they really only showed pulsar working last minute, they announced it like 1 or 2 years ago).
ULMB monitors have first came out in 2015, yet AMD has not made any equivalent (Benq dyac doesn't depend on the driver to work, but it does not have VRR, and something about older solutions being not at bright as pulsar).

>>107941106
How are they supposed to turn monitors into a streaming service bruv. Do you mean because of the components and processing going on inside? I think you're fine.

why do so many enthusiasts think you need more than 8gigs of vram? most games are designed around that… and even if they aren’t you can always lower your resolution…
is it due to tech tuber influence?

>>107941248
mohunwilds is pretty much the only game that justifies 16gb.
you can't run over 60fps without a 9800x3d, so increasing graphics settings is the only way to improve the game.

I'm going 4K OLED but only because this PC I built literally snoozing on my current monitor setup.
It's actually criminal how little its having to work especially compared to my old PC that was shitting bricks when I tried to play new vidya on it. I thought about a new IPS but ngl, I think my current decade old professional IPS has better picture quality than current models. I don't see any value in buying an IPS monitor again.

My mate said upgrades require upgrades and now I get what he meant ffs

I saw someone call a 5070TI a good 1080p card.

>>107941350
theres some insane inviduals who make mentally ill posts

>>107941335
It's only super specific because it's early in the adoption.
Early G-sync was a specific hardware module because VRR in itself was an entirely new concept. Waiting on scalers to adopt it would delay the new tech coming out.
Scalers did eventually integrate VRR where no specific module was required, and after Vesa VRR matured, Nvidia dropped their specific VRR tech.

>>107941356
IDK why people act like gsync was never a thing despite following the same exact formula
Also you assume monitor manufacturers actually have an issue with mediatek or that they already aren't using them

not wrong if you are talking about internal resolution.
1440p is the new 1080 when you just upscale it to 1440p.
>>107941321
>Nvidia gave up g-sync
ulmb was the main reason for displays to use the dedicated gsync chip.
nobody used ulmb because VRR is better.
Because if you can't hit your monitor's refresh rate, no VRR makes stutters worse.
but people using VRR probably don't get the best experience of VRR, because VRR works best when combined with a frame limiter. VRR itself does not actually fix stutters unless you hit the monitor refreshrate (which then vsync might interfere with cause a stutter due to it's added latency, which is why people set a global frame limit to just below their monitor refresh rate).

>>107941393
>to use the dedicated gsync chip
The hardware module was required for any type of VRR when the tech first came out.
Some monitors continued to use it for ULMB after G-sync became available on other scalers but the module's existence wasn't just for ULMB

Even 1440p DLSS 4.5 Quality isn't a performance loss vs. native for a 4070 Super.

They're faster than native when you follow the recommendations.
4.5 Quality is faster than native and looks better because it cleans up TAA.

It looks better than native TAA, that's the RDNA3 card owner's argument when they're begging for FSR4.

No one's forcing people to use DLSS 4.5 presets (M, L) @ Quality or DLAA.
Those people are running the model outside NVIDIA's recommendation.
That's why it's DLSS 4.5, not DLSS5
4.5 improves DLSS4's Performance & Ultra performance presets; it's never meant to be a complete upgrade.

>'If you call me out as the mentally ill retard I am, you own a 4070, and you're an Indian!'
I accept your concession.

These are all the perfectly sane ramblings Nico shared at the end of last year.
He probably had a meltdown seeing all the affordable 5070 Tis.

Anon the performance of 4.5 gets lower the most agressive upscaling you use, at performance mode on a 5060 ti 16gb tier card the performance hits is less than 5% , daniel owen tested it on a 5060 ti 16gb at 4k

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x7goOdiaSU

You can easily take a 5070 ti vs 9070 XT, 5070 vs 9070, 5060 ti vs 9060 XT and MATCH image quality and see which one ends up having way more FPS using DLSS 4.5, both ancient gameplays and daniel owen tested it and they concluded that you would have to run FSR quality to come even close to DLSS 4.5 performance to have a fair image quality comparison and as you can see DLSS 4.5 is not heavy enough to give you less fps than FSR quality let alone , against DLSS 4.0 you are still looking better than balance and having similar performance so you gained image quality rather than performance depending against which model you compare as long as you match either fps or image quality

You can't use dlss 4.5 on lower end nvidia cards because the performance penalty is too high. They don't have enough tensor cores. You don't even know what you're talking about shill

>>107941990
I don't think you understand why people care about upscaling. it increases performance without degrading image quality in a meaningful way. if the upscaling is not increasing performance over native then people don't want it.
and nvidia has fucked up their marketing so much that some gamers are confusing frame gen with upscaling and are just opting out of all of it because they think it all leads to ghosting and increased latency.

watch the video anon, the 5060 ti16gb performance hit using the heavier model at performance mode is 3% at 1440p and less than 5% at 4k.

>>107942023
Whatever go fuck yourself. I specified my model cuz idk maybe I thought that could be relevant when having a gpu related issue? I'll just go ask on reddit. This place is useless because you guys just call anyone that needs help whatever trannie shitposter you're arguing with for the week.

>>107942050
I'm not watching a 30 minute video that tells me dlss 4.5 causes a performance loss over native.

>>107942032
Why is this ASUS 9070 XT Prime owner telling people how to run DLSS 4.5?
A 5070 and 5060 Ti can run DLSS 4.5 at Performance just fine.
DLSS is different from FSR4; stay in your lane.

>>107942044
>if the upscaling is not increasing performance over native

But its doing it, when you match native image quality vs DLSS 4.5 rather than focusing on the mode you'll get better image stability on motion and better fps

You can only use it because you don't know better.

>>107942113
Again match image quality, DLSS 4.5 provides better image quality, stability and fps when you match them, why the fuck are you so obsessed about native, quality, etc rather than looking at the image in motion and deciding for yourself is it actually one DLSS SCHIZO or not

>>107942124
I care about performance. just like everybody else who uses upscaling.
I do not give a shit about image quality. stop talking about it. nobody who actually plays games cares about that.

>>107942138
but you do gain performance if you care about that, now you can use DLSS ultra performance and gain much more performance without the upscaling falling apart

>>107942094

This matching image quality bullshit was DLSS schizos whole schtick btw. No one ever shilled this way except him. He disappeared like 6 months ago because he got exposed as a pedo but now that 4.5 is out he is here to shill that 5070 ti is twice as fast as 9070 XT cuz of this shit or whatever, meanwhile his personal rig is still a poorfag 4070 5600x build with all sata ssds

Q U I C K ! !
I'm upgrading from a RX 5700 XT and was considering the 5070 mainly because the AMD software has been kinda shitty for me and I've had to do a bunch of AMD driver workarounds for specific games so it's left a bad taste in my mouth.

but are these concerns kinda dated, like my card is?
Is AMD software/driver compatibility not terrible anymore? should I go for the RX 9070 instead?

I play 1440p and I don't care about maxing out settings I'd rather want high smooth framerate.
Seems like "enthusiasts" are hating on AI upscaling but that's another reason I'm considering Nvidia, I doubt that I would notice these artifacts or whatever when gaming.


sooo... 5070 or 9070?

Undervolt your GPU and don't OC it above the stock operating frequencies if you're worried about its longevity.
CPU can also be undervolted, but it's more annoying to stability test.

>>107942176
Uh why does he use Nvidia if he's a AMD shill?

>>107942332
AMD's improved their driver & hardware issues since the 5700 XT overall.
RX 9000 is their first real GPU with decent RT & upscaling support.

DLSS is better than FSR4, but don't overpay too much for a 5070 if you don't need CUDA.

>>107942332
>I've had to do a bunch of AMD driver workarounds for specific games
then look how those games run on a 9070, this time AMD won't pull the plug early because they straight up won't make new cards in the near future

RDNA 3 backwards doesn't have proper hardware for AI features like upscaling. There is no reason to believe RDNA 4 won't get FSR 5. It's like if someone said the rtx 20 series would never get dlss 2 because gtx 10 series didn't get dlss 1.0

They have WMMA, even the psr6 which has RDNA 3.5 is getting PSSR 2.0 which is a variation of fsr4.0 based on the leak but the real kick in the nuts its RDNA2 being on the maintenance branch, look at nvidia their cards cant do fp8 but they still can get dlss 4.5, for amd is the same they have int8 there is no reason you cant official support the int8 version

I have a similar build to yours (6600xt, 5600x), but I panicked and just ordered some new parts for a brand new computer (9070xt, 9800x3d). Probably not necessary and the regret may sink in soon, but honestly having something that'll last me a long time feels better than waiting and potentially being left in the dust.
