Why does Buildcores have to update their 3D models so slowly? I want to pretend to build more PCs and look inside their pretend innards.

How much can I sell this 6600 for? It's an 8 gigabyte Sapphire model

In recent news nvidia stopped subsidizing msrp cards due to vram pricing so for the next couple years you can only buy amd gpu, am4 amd cpus with ddr4 ram or pay double for nvidia and 5-10x for ddr5

have fun building pcs

>>107955284

This is my build:

CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D (In hand)
GPU: XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT (In hand)
Mobo: Gigabyte B650M Gaming WIFI (In hand)
RAM: 16GB Kingston FURY Beast (In hand - Single stick)
Cooler: Antec A400i (In hand)
SSD: Lexar NQ790 1TB (In transit)

Which screen and psu should I get?

>>107955312
1000w PSU so you can easily upgrade to the 5090. Wait for new screens with the latest oled tech coming in Q1/Q2

>>107955336
Wouldn't it be better to get 1200w at this point?

Also OLED 2k screen is good?

>>107955336
Assuming you really have a 5090 at some point. How do you deal with 600 W heating by the gpu alone? Its hot

>>107955312

>>107955305
Give that back, Jamal.

>>107955305
less than 100 bucks but list it at 150 and let them haggle in case you get lucky
that's a Sapphire Pulse which is a reference-like/MSRP model

Okay, sorry for using the tools at my disposal

>>107955423
i have an 8-ball in my closet and i don't consider it a tool but it could serve much the same function as ai

is an rx 9070 for $500 a good deal, and will it have any chance playing older games (minecraft, kerbal space program, rdr2, gta5, squad) at 1440p or 4k? I am planning on buying a 4k monitor (Gigabyte M27UP) and probably a 4k tv later down the line, but would consider a 1440p setup if the rx 9070 cant handle 4k

I thought you guys said Moore's Law wasn't dead anymore? What's the actual upgrade from a 3060 Ti?

should I get a 3070 for $220 or drive an hour longer and get a 6800 for $260. fuck I don't want to drive that long

>>107955500
spec improvement wise gpus ground to a hault after 3080 release
tsmc nodes had much better perf per watt but they also cost more and since amd dropped the dgpu ball after 2018 release of dlss nvidias monopoly meant they didnt have to cut their margins

if I were you id rush to buy a 5070

>>107955503
6800 is obsolete according to AMD.

>>107955500
moores law which states that the cost of a transistor halving every 24 months is very very dead
were still getting better nodes but the cost per mm2 is going up

>>107955429
Come-on, ai is far above an 8 ball

>>107955534
That's not what Moore's law is tho.
It doesn't mention cost at all.

>>107955553
your right in an intellectual sense but real world products have size/cost targets and having to hit that target with increasing wafer cost means you get less silicon and transistors every generation than what used to be possible

>>107955500
the 3060 non-ti was the best cost-benefit card of the last 4 years until the 9070 xt, which is the best cost-benefit card right now, but it's a segment above the 3060

>>107955500
>>107955574
Should I wait for the Intel B780? Intel's GPU prices are very attractive but so far they haven't released anything high end.

>>107955584
the b580 is already a good card but I wouldn't recommend it because intel is not there yet with drivers, suspect b780 will be the same

>>107955593
The B580 has basically the same raster performance (or worse) as the 3060 Ti though. The B780 is going to be higher end but we don't have anything concrete yet.

>>107955593
>intel is not there yet with
Mesa is great on Intel though

>>107955584
Nope. B770 has been rumored to exist for well over a year and there's still no sight of it
Buying a Radeon 9060xt 16gb or 5070 before prices rise is your best bet for a modern upgrade from your 3060ti.

>>107955571
We are simply hitting physical limitations of how small we can make transistors.
Without some technological revolution we will be stuck at the current process nodes for a while.
Going from 4090 to 5090 doubles the transistor count, but it's hard to imagine it will continue with 6090 because that would also mean at least 800W of power draw and $5000 price tag minimum.
Prices went up mostly because of how monopolies work.

>>107955623
I'll just hold onto the 3060 Ti. My upgrade history in the last decade has been this:
>HD 7850
>RX 470
>RTX 3060 Ti
I'm used to doubling my raster performance 4-5 years down the line for the same price; I don't feel comfortable doubling my price paid for a less than 50% performance upgrade.

>>107955672
this i the worst time to upgrade anyway, in a few years intel samsung and tsmc will all be stuck in 1.4nm and unable to get lower and prices for high end pc parts will start to get better

So how long do you think we're going to have to wait we can easily get Chinese made RAM kits and SSDs in the US?

>>107955701
in the us? years, the rest of the world? 6 months

I don't know if the UK used market is particularly extra jewish or something, it's cheaper to get some parts shipped from the US than just buy from a local seller.

>>107955672
I used to upgrade every time I could at least double the performance for a reasonable price, but now I would need to buy a 5090.
Next stop 2028, maybe . . .

>>107955713
So what I'm hearing is I'm buying Chinese RAM and SSD from an out of US retailer

>>107955658
we have one last PPA upgrade with GAA / BSPD but things will grind to a halt after that. its gonna make the current node shrinks look like a golden era compared to what's coming next.

I really wish mutli-GPU support was more expanded on. I missing slamming a bunch of GPUs into a case. Justified having an absolutely bat shit crazy liquid loop too. Now I have a single CPU and single GPU like some sort of fucking plebian.

>>107955771
next gen multi gpu will be back, but not for rendering, just for vram and loading bigger ai models

>>107955730
It's looking grim, but it's comfy at the same time because there will be no reason to upgrade.

>>107955312
You really need another identical stick of RAM. Dual-channel is a good upgrade for your system, and 16 GB is pushing some games to the limit anyway (unfortunately).

>>107955771
get the msi lightning z 5090 when it releases. it uses 800w and will feel like your previous dual/quad gpu setups

>>107955774
eh that's already a thing as is, just minus the bridge you used to have driver support for, i.e. Xfire, SLI, NVLink. Even AMD eventually ditched their physical xfire bridge requirement and just went with having the cards communicate via their PCIe interfaces. I just don't know why game developers entirely gave up. there are so many titles that already look staggeringly good. why would you not want your game engine to be like all the physics and rendering on 1 GPU. All the AI for the NPCs, map loading, ray tracing, etc on GPU 2? Dedicated PhysX cards used to be a thing too.

I'm sick of the stagnation there is with hardware, games, game engines, etc. Bring back the wild shit. Where's the innovation?

>>107955794
>get the msi lightning z 5090 when it releases
nah I already have a founder's edition RTX 5090 because I wanted the compatibility for slapping a waterblock and backplate on it. I used to be an EVGA fanboy but they're out of the game :(. I have a 9950X3D and said 5090 underwater, the 5090 is actually down volted and I dialed back the boost clock by around 75MHz. The card now doesn't see beyond 65C under full gaming load.

>>107955716
We definitely have one of the worst used markets around for computer parts. Pretty much every single seller is a ripoff merchant.

I'm getting my first 1440p monitor soon and I was wondering if there's any major difference between 27" and 32" screens? I heard 27" ones have a better picture quality due to the smaller size.

>>107955833
yeah you want 4k for 32"

Amd's apus are fucking cooked

>>107955833
24" max for 1080p, 27" max for 1440p. 32" max for 4K. Anything beyond that and you start noticing invidual pixels. I own an Asus IPS 1080p 144HZ 27" monitor that I got for $85 open box. 27" is far too much screenf or as few pixels 1080p has. Same goes for 32" for 1440p.

>>107955848
releasing amd handhelds without ml upscaling in 2026 is literally insane

>>107955848
if it wasn't for the playstation amd would have given up on gpus altogether and would only be selling ai upscalers

>>107955859
maybe it'll force devs to make games fucking work without upscaling so that upscaling can be the crutch for slower cards it was meant to be, not a requirement even with high end current gen cards to even run the damn game above 30 fps.

Everything has gone wrong.

I'm unironically rooting for Intel GPUs to swoop in and start dominating the consumer market. AMD and Nvidia are busy jerking off AI companies as best they can and when the bubble finally bursts, they're going to come back to a GPU market where they phased themselves out. Buddy of mine has nothing but good things to say about his Arc B580 so far, barring driver growing pains.

>>107955841
>>107955857
Thanks bros. Didn't want to get the wrong thing.

32" is 40% bigger than 27" screens
Picture quality depends on many things but the simplest metric is PPI, 27" 4K will look better than 27" 1440p (you'll probably need some scaling for desktop apps). And now they're coming out with 27" 5K later this year. 32" also carries a heavier price penalty than 27" along with more limited options.

After many good years at 27" 1440p I'm going 32" 4K. The only problem now is picking a monitor. It ain't easy. I hate the monitor market.

For me, 27" is not a significant enough increase in workspace over a typical 1080p monitor. I'd get a 32" monitor, be it 1440p or 4K.

moderner oleds have 16-24h timers so for 99% even if they use it all day the refresh wont start until they go to bed and the monitor is in standby

do you think the companies do this kind of shit on purpose? When Intel was top dog, they let AMD catch up and now AMD is eating their lunch. AMD FINALLY gets to be known as top dog in consumer performance, is catching up in the mobile market, slowly clawing themselves some foothold in the server market. Then they get lazy and get face fucked. Like how/why does AMD not just put the hammer down and start slamming Intel into the dirt?

>>107956065
AMD can post greater profits if they spend less on R&D.

>>107956065
Their CPU teams are doing just that in servers. But they're definitely getting lazy with consumer hardware (e.g. zen5 IO die, rdna3.5+++++) probably because of the AI scam

As someone who owns some really nice IPS panels, is OLED/Q-LED truly that life changing it makes potential burn in worth dealing with?

>>107956158
Right now? XG27AQWMG

But if you wait WAY better OLEDs are coming soon. RGB Stripe. 4th gen Tandem OLED. 5th Gen QD-OLED. No text fringing. God Tier shit. Of course they'll all cost thousand dollars.

>>107956165
buy oled only if you have money to set on fire otherwise don't bothere. if ips is enough for you why ruin it for you? There will be a better technology to upgrade to in the future that doesn't have oled's dog shit aspects sooner or later. Maybe microled.

>t. also just using IPS for now

>>107956158
4th gen tandem woled or 4th gen qd oled. but both are probably out of stock or on preorder/backorder.

as for which is better it depends on (you). if possible to go your local big electronics store that have tvs & monitors out on display like best buy, walmart, microcenter, brandsmartusa, etc.

>>107955986

that's what I figured the case was but you know, new must mean better. I've of course seen all the really nice whatever-LED TV's and monitors when I'm walking around FUCKING BEST BUY and they're eye catching, but not "spend $2500 on a monitor or $7k on a TV that's going to have burn in in 3 years" eye catching. I spent $600 per IPS panel I have now and they're great.

I've narrowed it down to XG32UCG (IPS, £500) or MPG 321URX (qd-oled 3rd gen, £700). These are most I'm willing to pay. It's just deciding if OLED is worth the jump and the extra steps and the worse text. I'd kms if I scratched the panel.

OLED is personally worth it for me because it deals with eye strain better. I can look at an OLED all day and not get tired. When it comes to IPS the backlights does shit to my eyes overtime.

About the screen OLED is like 200 dollars more, from LG, is it worth it?

I wsih they would make ultrawide ips monitors but it's still only VA, which sucks

>>107956261
At high brightness I can look at the OLED at morning & night without eye strain. On LCD I need to lower the brightness at night to prevent eye strain but that makes everything look all washed out and it still isn't doing true blacks like the OLED the pixels shut off so I don't see light.

Personally I don't think OLED is worth it no unless you OK with the fact that screen may suffer from burn in problems in 2 years. IPS is a tried and tested tech. Something like LG UltraGear G6 27G610A-B 27.0 I would consider decent. Good price, major brand, 1440p, IPS, 200HZ, VRR, Stand is height adjustable, tilt, turn, etc and not over the stop stupid RGB gaming bullshit.

Pic is all that comes up. Most big boy ultra wides are going OLED/QLED
>>107956390
see >>107956323
there's plenty of other IPS panels you can waste money on from LG but that's because they come with HDR shit you're not going to notice or use and G-sync ultimate VRR which don't matter. Don't go above $300 for an IPS panel. buy what fits your needs.
>>107956376
don't buy cheap OLED. Spend $250 to $300 on a really nice solid IPS panel. "Cheap OLED" starts at $600. QD-LED starts at $450-ish.

I daily drive both a 27” and 32” 1440p monitor and almost always default to the 32” once. I usually just end up scaling everything on my 27” monitor up because how small everything is, it’s a pain to read or make precise clicks sometimes. How far away you sit matters a lot which none of the other anons acknowledge. There’s definitely charts that exist about distance vs resolution vs pixel density. I’d recommend going to a brick and mortar store and physically looking at the difference to decide why you like more.

Between the RX 9060 XT and the RTX 5060, which is the better GPU?

>>107956220
>>107956323
Just buy an OLED so you can quit crying about it.

>>107956480
9060 xt 16 gb

>>107956480
both are pretty bad investments
nvidia has better software stack
no one should buy a <12gb vram gpu in 2026

i7-14700F
2x16GB DDR5 6000MHz
RX 9070
Would this be okay for 1440p gaming?
Is the 9070 worth an extra ~£120 over the 9060 XT, and what is the difference between different versions of the same card, for example PowerColor 9070 Reaper and Sapphire Pulse 9070

>>107956539
yes and yes, the 70 is a much bigger chip

>>107955312
So add 16 gb ddr5 ram
Get a 850 -1000 psu gold
Get an ips 1440 screen

Hepatics that are good? I think I'll get razer mouse and keyboard?

>>107956554
razer is a meme, get logitech or chinese mice

>>107956220
If you're content with IPS panels and their limitations, keep using them until OLEDs improve further in 3~5 years.
If you can't stand the IPS glow and low contrast, try the OLED if the seller offers consumer-friendly product returns.

>>107956539
>difference between different versions of the same card, for example PowerColor 9070 Reaper and Sapphire Pulse 9070
only a slight difference in noise while performance is generally within ~3% based on slight power limit and factory OC differences

Did some research and used a ppd calculator and assuming I did everything right, a 32" monitor would apparently work pretty well from where I sit.

The new QD-OLEDs arent until Feb-March.

I want to upgrade my RAM but my current sticks are out of production, there is a newer model out but that one has a slightly different latency (16-16-16-36 vs 16-18-18-38), could I use that newer model? Or should I try to find RAM from another brand with the same latency? Or pay $80 more to fully replace my RAM and try selling my current sticks?

>>107956656
it should work

you'd almost certainly have to reduce your ram speed anyway to run stably with four sticks mismatched or not. the extra capacity will be more than worth it so just do

Hey do I put the ram/cpu/cooler on rthe motherboard AFTER I install it in the case, or before?

>>107956823
i've done it both ways many times, there's no hard rule, but it's generally easyer to install everything outside the case.

>>107956823
>RAM/CPU
Yes
>cooler
depends, generally no, but you might need to install a backplate/mounting hardware before you install the motherboard in your case.

>>107956823
air cooler yes, liquidmemecooler idk

>>107956823
i like to install the cpu/ram first, install into the case next followed by all psu cables connected before installing the cooler and gpu

>>107956829
Unless you've got a fairly small aircooler, it's usually best to install the cooler once the motherboard is installed.

For example my NH-D15, while it COULD be installed before putting it in the case, if I did that it would 10x harder to plug in the CPU power cables as the large NH-D15 tower blocks access to those connectors.

If you're using one of those tiny OEM heatsinks, then it might be not a problem.

But it's only 1440p, will I be able to get used to a downgrade when Ive been looking at 4k MiniLED??

>>107956911
I mean, I'm not sure what people were really expecting here. The 9800X3D was already heavily binned; the only thing a 9850X3D will bring you is slightly better binning, and even then the silicon hits a wall at 5.6Ghz, which is why they're not going any higher. Most good 9800X3Ds can hit 5.4Ghz anyway, so you're getting at best 200Mhz and maybe very slightly lower voltage if you're lucky.

>>107957016
9850x3d can also be overclocked and gain +200mhz

Are any coolers good for a 9950X3D doing full 100% extended usage for video processing that are also silent?
Want to process things overnight but the computer is in the same room.

Is this something you would need an exterior liquid cooling box for or can a big cpu cooler actually work?

its lower PPI so text clarity will be slightly worse but if you already use DLSS4 or FSR4 then you already know 1440p already looks as good as native 4k.

>>107957031
Okay, where is it?


Everything i've seen you can't just add +200Mhz in PBO and expect it to work.

I've seen people doing external clock generators to run them higher, but that's not anywhere near as simple as PBO.

>>107957063
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7-9850x3d-reportedly-hits-5-75-ghz-with-all-cores

>>107957063
>>107956911
Ryzen is already pretty much at the clock limit just like Intel. The best you can do really is undervolt rather than overclock to sustain those higher frequencies longer.

>>107957073
That's only CPU-Z stable.
The chip in >>107956911 can't stably handle a -10CO because the factory fused V/F curve's got a finer margin.

>>107957073
Yeah that doesn't prove anything.

You don't even know if he's using PBO boost, or doing external clock generation shit.

>>107957107
200mhz is obviously pbo boost, idiot

>>107957124
It's not 200Mhz though, it's 148.7Mhz

And that would mean if he IS using PBO, then his spread spectrum is lowering his BCLK from 100Mhz to 99.1Mhz, which is way below spec (most motherboards keep you between 100Mhz and 99.5Mhz)

In any case, that is not a normal PBO overclock.

>>107957145
>>107957124
It's clock stretching and the motherboard is automatically lowering the BCLK to compensate, which is lowering the clockspeed further.

Some motherboards (especially ASRock or ASUS "Safety" profiles) may drop the BCLK to 99.1 MHz if they detect the user is pushing PBO too hard. This is a "stealth" way for the board to maintain stability by slightly underclocking the entire system bus.


So yeah, if that IS just a basic +200Mhz PBO overclock, it's not working particularly well.

Isn't that the whole selling point of X3D? You just drop it in and game. Tuning doesn't seem the hassle it's not like early AMD GPUs where you had to do manual clocks and manual voltage to get the advertised speed.

>>107956999
>>107957002
Thanks, I meant to say from front to back but your posts confirm

>>107957185
no, you buy a computer, then you spend 2 days tuning the memory and validating, then you spent 2 more days undervolting each cpu core and validating it, then you overclock gpu ram and undervolt it for each game you play, then you install arch linux and now you can yourself a real pc guy, doing less than that you're just a scrub that should be building prebuilts

I got a 14600K recently and while my computer's thankfully running, I'm also noticing that spicy bitch is just chilling at 100c when the computer's idle or when I'm doing some basic internet browsing. I haven't had too much time to fuck around with it because of work so I'll ask here.

What kinda settings should I mess around with in the BIOS to help resolve it? I've set lite load to Mode 1 for right now and I already have the BIOS update for 13th/14th gen. It seems like the BIOS update changed a lot of shit and by default it made my 14600K set to Mode 18 for some reason, which was just insane.

This is on an MSI B660 motherboard, so any help would be appreciated. I have a feeling it's definitely a BIOS setting I need to adjust to help calm this thing down.

Anyone else got issues maintaining a -60mV undervolt with their 9070XT? I get occasional crashes in Rise of the Ronin. I was told that -60mV was the fallback in case -70mV wasn't stable due to silicon lottery, but my machine appears to disagree. I've also set the power limit to -30%, in case that matters.

they should make the cpu cooler protection films out of material that works as heatspreader

>>107957662
most usually cap out at around between -40 and -50. some games really hate the boost clocks on amd so you have to set profiles for them to do slightly lower while the rest are high and stable.

Got a new PSU for a new build but re-using the same GPU (4090): Do I use the 12V-2x6 cable that comes with my PSU or the 12VHPWR to 2 8-pin PCIe cable that I've been using? Current and new PSU both made by the same OEM, and manufacturer has stated the 12VHPWR cable works on any of their 2+ 8-pin PCIe model PSUs, so cable compatbility isn't an issue. Been using the 12VHPWR to 2 8-pin for almost three years now with no issues, but not sure if it one is demonstrably better or worse than the other.

lmao enjoy your monitor forcing you to take a 5 minute break every 60 minutes in order to prevent burn-in and then still getting burn-in 6 months later

Would some anons please give their thoughts on if my GPU may need a return (barely under 30 days), or if some simpler shit is amiss? I'm running an Asrock 9070 XT 'Challenger' card, having gotten it around four weeks ago. I mostly ran undervolted, but even at stock, I'm getting a stuttery feeling in both desktop and especially in games. Frame dips are insane and sluggishly bad. Before, it might resolve if I restarted, but it is no longer doing it for me (maybe very subtly less shit). I checked:
>Temps
They're very fine under load, even hotspots, but I frequently see high hotspot deltas. It is usually 10-15C, but I've seen it spike a few times towards the 20s.
>Mem clock weirdness
100 mHz difference minimum at stock, may easily have 200-ish gap under load, worse if undervolting even slightly (like -30mV for example).
>Other processes, CPU settings, etc
I'm on the latest drivers. Not sure if they've fucked things up or not, but it wasn't clear of issues before either. I can possibly go exchange it today, but MicroCenter is like an hour away. Fuck, I wish I bought a better card off Newegg or something...

Is it still worth buying a PSU tester to check if the PSU turns on and doesn't spark before you plug it in to other components?

>>107958065
Do DDU and reinstall the drivers. Also if you switched to this from an nvidia card you might need to reinstall windows totally, GeForce drivers change thing in the registry and shit that DDU can't fix

>It's clock stretching and the motherboard is automatically lowering the BCLK to compensate, which is lowering the clockspeed further.
Would be funny if even stock 9850X3Ds clock stretched.

90% of consumers wouldn't notice.

How many nits would a monitor need to be to photorealistically recreate the sun?

>>107958095
The sun's surface is roughly 1.6 billion nits, though to realistically mimic that to our visual perception, a screen would only need to hit ~20,000 nits, which would theoretically allow the display to VISUALLY match bright daylight conditions.

Current HDR standards cap at 10,000 nits, and current display technologies are limited to ~4000 nits (and consumer shit is all ~1000-2000 nits at most).

I do believe there is a 9800x3d problem but does anyone find it weird how each new Reddit post is made by an account with almost no posting history? The posts all read the same too and have nearly identical images of the 00 code on their motherboard. Last year I remember one of the posts was by an actual bot too.

And don’t be mistaken, I’m going back to intel when I can, but something about this issue feels off.

>>107958125
its prob a bit redundant to try and recreate conditions that would blind people

even if you have a bright spot its probably pointless to go from 1k nits to 2k from experiencing the media without pain perspective

our oled monitors struggle to have >300 nits on a 10% window size so theres room for improvement there tho

>>107957999
yeah its a good deal

>>107958074
Reinstall the same (latest?) drivers even if I updated from Adrenalin?
>Also if you switched to this from an nvidia card you might need to reinstall windows totally,
My past GPU was a 7900XT, and I did DDU+install fresh drivers before anyway. It's just gradually gotten worse and unstable over the past few weeks, enough so it's tripping me up how progressively unstable it has gotten. There was an AMD driver update not that long ago too, but I don't know. It's bizarrely bad regardless.

>>107958141
Oh yeah, i'm not ACTUALLY suggesting we need 20,000 nit screens or anything, just that's the theoretical LIMIT for human visual perception.

I think 2000-5000 nits for OLED specular highlights is "good enough" for just about anything but professional/scientific uses.

I got a Keychron because I don't have to run software running in the background for profiles. Its all stored on board. I don't know if it's a meme or not but It's been good to me so far. I had to get away from Razer and their shitty bloatware causing issues.

I got a Keychron and Logitech Logitech G502 X. Nether need background programs. The mouse is amazing and I got a hot swappable keyboard so could try different switches. I have a set I really like now. Very expensive for me, but fuck Razer.

What are some good prebuilds on Newegg ? My budget is about $2G ?

>Is the 9070 worth an extra ~£120 over the 9060 XT
The 6000hz ram wont make your CPU that much faster (you are talking about maybe 10% more fps in games, 20% more in productivity like blender rendering, and ddr4 is fine as well), it's AMD where you want faster ram for gaming (but this info is old, honestly it's possible newer benchmarks prove me wrong, or that the 0.1% lows are way worse).
But of course, if you are only spending 10% more compared to 4800 ram / 3600 DDR4, then you get what you paid for (the nice part of 4800 ram is that you don't need to touch settings in your bios to get the advertised speeds).
Also, you can go with just 1 stick of 16gb ram and go with the 9060 XT 8gb or 5060 (AMD is better for linux, that's basically it, I want to get a gsync pulsar more than an OLED, but I will probably not get either because I will wait for my 1080p IPS monitor to die, And gsync pulsar won't work on AMD or Linux).
The 9070 is like 2x the power of a 9060. The 16gb 9060 is a weird GPU that only does well on monster hunter wilds, or other very specific console port benchmark games (I think every benchmark games kind of suck, but they are benchmark games because they run like shit).
16gb of vram is not necessary for 1440p.
The PC you have is good for 4k. You could run 1440p with no FSR with that PC.
Also is the 14700k even that good for gaming for it's price? You seem to be paying 9800x3d prices for $200 9600x gaming performance... I thought you were getting a budget CPU, like the 13400f (it's not better than the 9600x, but close enough for it's price, I have not checked other CPU's there might be a better intel 12-14th gen cpu that's cheaper, depends on country to find a good deal).

what that guy said
But I don't like prebuilts because you typically only get 1 year of warranty.
Every part of your PC will get around 3 years of warranty, some PSU's go up to 10 years.
Depending on the policy, you don't even need to hoard the box, they will ship you a new GPU so that you can put the old GPU into it so you can ship it back (that's what they did with my monitor).

imagine that they can't make cars go any faster so instead they just start welding more storage to the car so it can move more in one trip

that's the state of cpus for the past 2 decades

>>107957662
There is no safe except for stock and some AMD cards can't even do that without crashing because of AMD's loose hardware QA

Now, you might think "Huh, if it's happening on all these MOBOs, surely the common factor here is the CPU".
But, unfortunately, that makes you a schizo fanboy trying to discredit AMD. So, it's not that.

My rational part says: get the IPS, your room is bright, it's easier maintenance, it still looks good, no burn in, much cheaper, no reflections

My consoom part says: GET THE OLED GET THE OLED GET THE OLED GET THE OLED GET THE OLED GET THE OLED GET THE OLED GET THE OLED

Choices were a lot easier when I didn't have the money for this stuff. I was unironically happier

I tried this as you advised. Everything seemed fine on my desktop and in two games I tried (Arc Raiders and The Finals) initially. However, I loaded up Counter Strike after taking a brief pause in the browser here, and it started performing extremely poorly. Same performance weirdness. My temps seem fine. I am completely lost as to what is going on even if referencing HWInfo.

>>107957264
You don't need one of the latest OLEDs, just a decent OLED (4K, 240 Hz, 32" 3rd gen QD-OLED or some equivalent WOLED, 27" fags don't @ me), and really an older OLED would still be amazing compared to lower panel techs like IPS.

>>107958427

Now AMD+Valve need to port RADV to Windows.

>>107955336
What do you think of the Seasonic PRIME PX-1300? It's a 2022 PSU. How "future-proof" would you say it is?

>>107958462
I'm waiting for KTC to save me from overpriced OLEDs with their new tandem.

>>107958576
Doesn't work that way, Windows drivers aren't openly split the way they are on Linux. RADV "only" replaces AMDVLK as the middleman between Vulkan software and AMD's AMDGPU, it be made because the latter is mostly open-source (except for a proprietary blob which it needs to function).
AMD would need to release open-source Windows drivers for anyone to start developing anything resembling RADV.

So many oled seethe reviews on reddit from early 2025 have people coming back a few months later saying oh yeah it was all the nvidia drivers fault the screen was actually fine lol

crazy idea here but couldn't they just make the lcd cells like twice as thick and then they'd block out 99.999% of backlight instead of 99.99% and then you'd have true blacks?

>>107958639
The Vulkan driver on Windows is AMDVLK but with a different compiler since Windows is dumb about SPIRV. If AMD is dropping AMDVLK officially then they need a new driver on Windows.

No, you stack two LCD panels, one that is monochromatic (black and white) to control brightness, and then the 2nd LCD panel is just your normal panel.

The problem becomes you need a LOT more light to shine through the 2 layers.

It's called dual layer LCD.

>>107958658
But then you'd lower peak brightness by the same factor. What matters is the difference between the highest and the lowest achievable transmittance, making it thicker just means you need to waste more backlight power for the same result. That's why the relevant metric for black depth is contrast and not the absolute brightness of your black or whatever.

As an IPS user who hated IPS contrast even before switching to OLED, I cannot agree.

Which monitor do I get from these? I'm thinking the cheapest if there is no downside. Or do I just get the Gigabyte M27UP

>>107958697
Not really though. Dark pixels would block out more light when thickened than light pixels. You'd overall get a dimmer image, but if you cranked up the nits it'd counteract it and you'd get darker darks and brighter brights.

>>107958781

>>107958697
>>107958849
Just get an OLED. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

>>107958849
I don't see how that would work. Intuitively, I'd assume the decrease in transmittance at both ends would cancel out and give the same contrast ratio. That video is interesting but those comparisons at the end are worthless without normalizing for brightness.

>>107958905

OLEDs are terrible for that.

Most SATA SSDs at normal prices seem to be dramless garbage.
Still, I want to add 4 TB to ride the apocalypse but I don't know which. Since most of these are entry level I might as well go for the cheapest but I don't know.

I have two fans on my CPU heat sink, and they can't be daisy chained. I know I plug one into CPU FAN 1 but where do I plug the other? There isn't a 'CPU FAN 2' anywhere on any of the sides. Do I use pump or system fan?

And if I use System Fan, how will it know it controls the CPU fan?
