UHH UHH SO THE GOAL IS UHHH 40% MARKETSHARE AND UHH YEAH THAT'S WHY WE ONLY MADE TWO GPUS AND UHHH UM DEVS STILL AREN'T ANSWERING OUR CALLS AFTER WE PAID THEM TO NOT USE DLSS AND IT BACKFIRED MASSIVELY AND UHHH UHH UMMM HAVE YOU SEEN OUR APUS THOUGH THAT STEAM DECK WOW
>>108045060No one can perfectly time the market.SSDs were at all-time lows in 2023, and the better binned DDR5 kits were out after 2024.You might as well never build a PC with that kind of poorfag mentality.
so done with these fucking driver issues on my 5070 ti. i was in the middle of typing up a shitpost dunking on the AMDrones ITT when my screen went black and I had to turn my whole pc off. im rmaing and switching to 9070 xt fuck it idc anymore.

GeForce xisters how do I respond without sounding mad when Nico-Poster tells me that we're still not capable of playing the only game worth getting a new pc for, Cyberpunk with RT Overdrive?It's playable on the current gen midrange Radeon cards (9070 and 9070 XT) because of FSR4 (now natively supported), but we don't have that nor an upscaler stable enough to brute force a higher resolution.How do I cope??? When I booted up DLSS 4.5 transformer for the first time on my 5070 and saw the grass shadows flickering like this I had a full on dysphoric breakdown and almost overdosed on my HRT pills and had to get my stomach pumped at the ER.
Do people really spend time and money building killer PCs just to come here and fight over brands on these threads that disappear in less than a day?Count your blessings. You could've been stuck on integrated graphics.
>>108045133You played yourself I got 5 fruits at launch and they are worth 50 fruits now
>>108045133You're sad because you're obsessed with that 1 fruit. You got a deal on some other PC components that have risen in price. You can't win them on. Life goes on.
>>108045160Radeon Retards can't play games on their shitty cards and 10 year old 1440p 144Hz displays, the cards suck too much.

I thought tandem oled would be the one but it's looking like qd-oled is just better i will have to wait for the new qd-oled tech for better blacks
Updated my fan curve Does this look good for general use and gaming?
>>108045326fangs don't need to come on before 50C
>>108045325if you been to a mega store that has panels out for preview you will notice the QD has much better viewing angles. the picture is perfect when you walk down the aisle, WOLED and LCD turns to crap. that is enough to sway normies to QD.
>>108045350I mean fans, not fangs. I am not a vampire. I am NOT a vampire.
>>108045308Then that's your fault. You wrote as if the better deal was available a few weeks after you finished building the PC.
>>108045364Vampires? In this low income neighborhood? Ridiculous.
>>108045007Sry to hear it, I know the feeling. Alas, the tech market is rly volatile. Sometimes it works in your favor, sometimes it kicks you in the balls.
>>108045396Again I don't have omniscience to know every possible price in every possible store
>>108045407Next time I'm going to just buy cheap shit that works instead of soi "optimizing" because getting invested this much is reddit faggotry

>>108045482No, he'd rather earn it by blowing you 50 times first.
>>108045527Gross. I'd rather buy him a 5090 not to.
>Buy 9060XT>by default the fans don't run without load so it idles at 55 C>download adrenaline software to disable that so fans always run and proportional to load>if my PC crashes, the settings I applied weeks ago get reverted and the program even tells me this>"ur pc crashed and AMD adr has been reset to default settings">have to redo it every timeThis is some buillshit.
>>108045717>by default the fans don't run without load so it idles at 55 CSo whats wrong with that? It's well within spec. All you are doing is using more power running the fans, the GPU is still dissipating the same amount of energy.>Maybe you like the noise?
>>108044928Be blunt you cocksuckers...Is the rtx 5080/4090/5090' the only future proof cards and everything else is becoming obsolete by this year?
>>108045046except in latam where 8gb cards are sold at fucking +$500(5050). Those dudes are still selling like the crypto boom is still relevant.

I built and have been gaming on this nonstop for the past month or so. The build is inaudible when gaming even without headphones. Couldn't be happier with it.AMA about it if anons are curious about building anything similar.
>>108045824What made you choose an 870 board?
>>1080457764090 and 5090, yes5080? Probably not
>>108045776Yes. 5080 will last well, but it really depends on the next gen. NVIDIA my not even make anything less than a 6080.
Reposting here cause it died off at the very end of the thread.>>108043039>>108044474>>108043319I think you totally missed the point. I don't need to jump the PSU, it powers on just fine, the system powers on just fine. I just need a kind of connector that the PSU doesn't have I think.>>108043190>de pin the connector make a Y cable out of two pcieWhen you say de-pin what do you mean? Like cut material away from an existing 8 pin connector until it fits? And yeah a Y cable is basically what I had in mind.Pic related is more specifically what I am planning. I'll get an actual 8-pin CPU cable, cut off one end, do the same with a pair of 6-pin connectors, and then solder/splice them together according to pic related. The green vs blue lines are just to make it easier to follow what goes where. Of course I'll heat-shrink the joints so there's no possibility of creating a short.

>>108045789I don't think its autistic to want my GPU program to save its settings and remember them.
>>108045838Features of the board matched what I wanted. No compromises on speed in lanes, button to remove gpu, other QoL features etc. Plan is to keep this build for 6-8 years and replace my GPU with a 6080 o 7080 in the future as well as potentially replace the CPU if necessary.

>>108046278Listen man. I've had AMD CPUs since the Athlon dual and Phenom 2 quad. These things never die. If you're replacing them it's because its too slow or it lacks newer instruction sets. Even Bulldozer wont die on you, the motherboard will die first.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zTzpYjQ2MM
>>108046305The catch is that it was $150 3 months ago.
>>108046335I want mine to last 100 years tho. That's why I'm basically am4, but idk maybe threadripper is good, maybe I'll get something used.
>>108046333>I HATE FEDEXkek, FedEx shipped the external I bought a couple weeks ago and it was delayed too. But know how the prices on all drives were, I didn't dare contact them and decided to be patient. Especially because Corsair tried to quickly canceled orders and then raise the price. They were obviously caught and just went "oh it was an accident and they weren't meant to be that price ;)", but they eventually gave discounts to those people to get the same prices or something like that. I wasn't buying from them but still.Let this be a lesson learned when shit like this happens. When prices are rocky, never try to contact about what was ordered, just be patient. I wouldn't doubt they purposely try to get things delayed in hoping people contact support and supports goes "oopsie we issued a refund ;) no refunds on the refunds btw ;^)". Also know FedEx gets a bad reputation for a reason.
>>108046382the only solace I have is that they're at least allowing me to price match if it's in stock. But it's not on pre-order or special order, just notification. So I have to fucking contact them first. Will likely be scalped before I can do shit.Likely it'll be shipped by the end of the week but fuck this shit.

Show me your most favorite/most visually interesting PC chassis.
>>108046666The faggot reviewers focused on attacking everything else but the hardware itself which is okay, saying "fuck NVIDIA you should just buy the 4070 Super/Ti instead" but those cards were no longer available new or for affordable prices either. They reviewed these cards purely on ragebait and scalped pricing at launch. The 5070 Ti for example is an actually good card today at MSRP, and could be bought for that price for several months until recently, but the reviews didn't update to reflect that.
What's a good price for a used 3060 12GB?
>>108046654>have that hwbusters site up>look back at it>best 1000w psus>the corsair isn't on the list>look at some of the reviews>all but one have more cons and not recommended>only other one with the same amount of pros and cons was a super flower psuWeird. Maybe those were all just PSUs released this year though. Now to decide if I wanna save $20 by buying the Corsair PSU or spend the extra $20 by buying the Super Flower one.And for whatever reason, the Super Flower logo reminds me of NERV.
>>108046545This is like buying someone's riced up Honda or Subaru. Basically don't unless you got that much disposable income and/or you don't mind having to fix issues like with the soldering.
>>108045526>feetyes
We survived the crypto boom only to get raped harder now
>>108046768>the corsair isn't on the listHe's guaranteed to be paid for shilling certain models, you have to search them yourself.I'm considering the Super Flower VII XP PRO 1200W because supposedly it's good and it's still on the $200 range while Corsair HX1200i starts at $300 (RM1200x Shift is $200 but it lacks things like fan control and is rated lower on effeciency). Corsair is overpriced but they have some of the best quality IMO so I don't have to worry about that, and some of the best fans altogether, and stuff like fan failure protection that none of the others do. If you only need 1000W I'd go with that Corsair RM1000x at that price, it's very hard to beat. The other brand I can recommend is Seasonic but they are even more overpriced than Corsair.
>>108046666CUZ WE ARE GETTING RAPED BY AI CENTERS BUYING EVERYTHING SO BETTER GET FUCKED BY THIS SMALL DILDO INSTEAD OF THE MEATIER, SPIKED ONE THE NEXT ONE
>>108046842I'm sorry but you are not "getting raped" because of RAM price increases.Oh boo hoo something that cost $100 last year now costs $500.Do you know what getting fucked up the ass is? When you need a $30,000 deposit on a home.Enjoy finding $30,000 any time soon.
>>108046718>gamers want to be cucked just like the game marketnot really, many waitfags were hoping for the supers
>>108046645But people like you are driving the prices up for the sake of "consooming"Let me tell you something... if you are so empty inside that you need to fill it with material copes why don't chuds like you gang yourselves and overthrow this feminist system that wants you to stay like this, virgin, without kissing a foid because foids are the gatekeeper of their pussies in this foid-jewish centric world?But no, you are all fags sucking Jensen's tits for fake overpriced shit that will give you a false sense of accomplishment in your sorry lives
>>108046827I'm pretty sure even 850w is overkill, but at that current price it's cheaper than their 850w. Or close because apparently there's a random $14 coupon for the 850w. But at that point might as well get the extra wattage just in case.I might just go with it. Just hope Corsair doesn't randomly go under. Thanks for the info.

>>108046666This is bait but to the clueless anons wandering in, the 5060 is currently being scalped and the 5070 is significantly more powerful. The 4gb of extra vram means nothing to 99% of consumers. At current prices I can only recommend it if you want to dip your toes into slop generation and want something faster than a 3090.

>>108045060What a terrible lack of foresight. What if the prices rise 50% more the next month? Will you come to /pcbg/ and make amend for today's brooding? Of course not. Will you reflect on everyone's times and yours that you wasted then? Neither . Admit that you're nothing special, a feather on the waves of rising and crashing hardware price. You don't have control. But it's okay because no one has and that's who you are: no one.You can not optimize this decision, you have no reason to languish over what you have no control, apart for being a fool.Now will you continue to be a fool or take some time to reflect and admit your deal wasn't better than some; but also better than some of us got here and you having the audacity to complain is extremely goofy to them?
>>108045060>>108047459If you can buy the hardware tou want today them buy it. If you can't buy the hardware then you should probably consider not buying any hardware even if the price goes back down to msrp.If you could afford the hardware before the price increases and you can't afford it now that says something about your ability to spend any amount of money on the tech to begin with.This shit is expensive for a reason. Most people are willing to buy these cards because they have the ability to make that money back just using the hardware they buy. You have to remember who exactly your competing with in the "consumer" space when buying a top end gpu. Even a 16gb 5060 ti is marketed as professional hardware now.
>>108045248>Hey PC Builder I really want an AMD card but I've heard that sometimes it works well but sometimes the new driver is fucked up and nothing works at all.>Oh. What about a traffic light ARGB scheme then?Kek. Why did you think it was a good idea? He was taking the piss of you. You should have told him to fuck off mate.
>>108045776Are you okay nigga? Top 3 GPU of the very last Steam survey are XX60 cards. There's more 3060 in the wilds than 5060 and this one comes with even more fakeframes at better quality so it will survive the test of time even better. Devs know it's going to be a stalemate until 2028. NOTHING will be "obsolete" by this year. You'd really have to corner yourself in a specific way of mind to argue so.
>>108047914Honestly I wish they would keep things a stalemate until technology actually improves in a meaningful way.Devs are just getting so lazy with optimization and shit, and abusing hardware as an excuse not to. And the games don't even look good enough to justify the hardware spike. Games in 2015 like TW3 looked 100x better than half the slop today.There's no reason devs can't make shit that good looking with more modern hardware. Or just revert to using lower hardware requirements if its going to look like shit anyways.I miss the days when hardware increases were actually big. PS1 to PS2. PS2 to PS3. Slowed down with PS3 to PS4. And after that it just kind of stopped looking better but the hardware and price kept rising.
>>108045717Save the profile maybe? It takes one sec to reapply it.
Where does /pcbg/ buy used parts from? Ebay is nothing but accounts with no reviews.
>>108047990That's exactly why all these anons agreeing something like a 5070 Ti would be irrelevant by this year is a turbomongoloid take. It's not true and if it was for what game? Star Wars Outlaws? Wukong? Who fucking cares./pcbg/ get real.
Is 12GB of VRAM the new 4C/4T or 4C/8T of GPUs? I hate the feeling of being reduced to a VRAMlet when I had 16GB and 124GB literally within my grasp ages ago.
>>108045892very interesting
Why is the idle wattage on AIB 5070's higher than on the reference model but somehow lower under peak load?
>>10804821516gb is the new 4c/8t.
How's the RTX 5050 for gaming?
>>10804824948gb/96gb = just buy a server room already24gb/32gb = point of diminishing returns16gb/20gb = optimal amount of vram capacity10gb/12gb = barely enough vram, will be obsolete within a year or two8gb/6gb = king of vramlets4gb/3gb/2gb = consider suicide tier
>>1080482781080 Ti kind of with less VRAM if you're thinking about rasterin Blender cycles open data it performs around the same or slightly slower than a 3060 Ti
>>108045263CH160 Plus or Jonsbo C6 Max or Jonsbo Z20I'm eyeing that last one but its hard to find in brazil
5070 ti is going to be bottlenecked really hard with 12400 right? And the only option is ditch cpu AND motherboard for amd since 13 14 series cpus are literally broken ootb. I hate intel.
>>108048299Thanks, that's more than good enough for me.
>>108048286>2028 q4>6080 launches>16gb vram
>>108045149
>>108048371>40% of 6090
>>1080485161080ti is missing ;_;
>>108048540the 1080ti is also a pos. can't even do dlss or raytracing. also no support so you might as well buy an amd gpu.
>>1080485401080ti was the flagship. Titan Xp was a halo product, perhaps less so than 5090 kek.
>>108048569i think of the 5090 as an upsold 5080ti
>>108048516I hate how everyone forgot that the 5070 is effectively a xx50/xx60 card
>>108048569The Titan was always a stupid retarded upsell intended to drive up prices starting with KeplerGK104 "680" lmaoIf AMD didn't jump the gun they would have never thought they could get away with that
>>108048516thats just ragebait the reason the cudacore space got lower its because it got replaced for dedicated tensor core and dedicated rt cores, same goes with die size they are just look at the overall dimensions rather than space x density which overall has remain equal as litography advances
>>108048679>the reason the cudacore space got lower its because it got replaced for dedicated tensor core and dedicated rt coresthe graph compares within the same generation so the ratio of cuda to tensor to rt units are constant per generation>same goes with die size they are just look at the overall dimensions that's the problem, all dies below the halo one keeps getting smaller
>>108048689It's pure ragebait, because they dont realize that overall dimension is a useless metric compared to Transistor density (MTr/mm2) and SRAM bit-cell size (μm2), modern litography is not about building faster chips on biggger dies but stacking transistors on top of each other to archive faster compute on a smaller die area, you are still paying for 5070s level of density/top tier transistor on your chips just a lot more power efficient and enjoying lower latency as smaller area means more eficiency
>>108048701>getting less relative performance to the flagship is actually a good thing
>>108048713Anon the 5090 already has a 600W power limit with transient spikes to1200, requiring a custom connector, anything more powerful with bigger dies just catches fire, just ask AMD why they have nothing above the 9070 XT
>>108046112Do any GPUs even make noise with idle fan speeds?
>>108048679>>108048516Then perhaps we could compare transistor count relative to the flagship5070 for instance has 31 billion to the 5090's 92 billion or 33.6956522%3070 had 17.4 billion to the 3090 ti's 28.3 billion or 61.4840989%
>>108048743I'm talking about the relative weakness of the non-flagship 50 series. 5080 would be called 5070 if compared to 30 series or prior by the core count. 5070 compares well to a 950 ($159 in 2015), and GM200 was 600mm^2 too, not a small chip.
Reminder that the xx80 Ti, Titan monikers only exist as upsells to segment and dilute the product lineup, the flagship used to always be the xx80 while xx90 was for dual-GPU boards
>>108048775They can of you increase the voltage high enough, but thays not the kind of noise I think you're talking about. They also make a different smell when you overvolt them, and not the kind of smell that comes from one of those yeston waifu cards I hear you're so fond of either.
if we were to use the old naming scheme here's how it would look for ampere ignoring the duplicate cut down variants and assuming they released the full chips right away instead of leaving them as refreshesRTX 3090 Ti = GTX 1280RTX 3080 Ti = GTX 1270RTX 3070 Ti = GTX 1260RTX 3060 Ti = GTS 1250RTX 3060 = GTS 1240RTX 3050 = GT 1230

What's the best GPU I can go for if my goal is a strong GPU without going full retard on the price? 5070?
Is $180 for a new 5700X worth it if you're on a 3700X
>>108048872If you must buy now I would get the 5070 while it is at MSRP (if it is still at 550 that is) if you can given the 5060 ti is barely cheaper wherever I look, unless you absolutely need the extra VRAM for prompting anime boobies in stable diffusionI'd suggest the zotac solid or the anus dual out of msrp models
>>108048874sounds expensive. how much is a tray/oem version from a questionable source?
>>108048904...that is the price for a tray/oem version here from retails
>>108048804>>108048799Anon those metrics are useless i already explained to you how litgrophy works, you use both Transistor density (MTr/mm2) and SRAM bit-cell size (μm2), in terms of density the metrics are around the same as previous generation, is just rage bait withotu degrees saying dumb shit
>>108046666I max everything out at 1440p DLSSQ with the 5070.However, I do not play games past 2024 anymore, just no point.Also paid ~490 euro for it.
>>108046077Pretty sure those are integrated gpus and x3d cpus
>>108048906it's $170 here when ordering online and $183 from retailI guess $180 is ok after all.

Ugh... Hi! T-this is my first post on /g/, I need a QHD monitor. I was always a poor fag using cheap full HD monitors, but now I actually can afford something good, altho I have no idea what "good" means in terms of monitors...All I know is that the image gets better with resolution, there is IPS, there is OLED, and there is refresh rate (Hz). OLED looks good, but requires some schizo rituals to make sure it doesn't die in 1 year after purchase.IPS looks like shit, but you can just plug it in and forget about it for the next few years.Budget is 650-1k USD.
Best computer for a professional underwear salesman (japan av club, no underage!)
>>108046447no
>>108049115either get a cheapo 180Hz IPS for $150 or a fancy expensive oled. The middle ground is a waste of time.
>>108041589>>108040284went ahead and did it, so far on just desktop and web browsing no difference in temps from what i see. fans are currently oriented like the figure in the middle from when it was still horizontal; which of the three do u recommend though now that it's upright

>>108049363I need at least one to image some drives on some devices I intend to fuck around with. it's a bit of a drive, but two 2tb's for 150 each isn't bad if I can convince the guy and it would be somewhat worth my time to drive out there.
>>108049373Typical boomer/zoomer who doesn't care about his own flesh and blood. *spit*
>>108049383what are you on about, retard? Did the pcbg spammer return?
>>108048872Anyone giving you advice on this premise is retarded because your question is retarded. State your use cases, cpu, resolution and refresh rate limit if you want an accurate answer.
>>108046666It is a perfect product for its price point and was actually available at MSRP for its whole lifespan. Nobody paid $500 for a 5070 and felt they got ripped off. Even people that seethed about muh 12GB VRAM found out its totally fine in all games and is way faster than a 5060TI 16GB. AMD like retards tried to attack the 5070TI when the 5070 was the real competition. 9070 XT should have been $500. But they got greedy and sold it for like $800 for most of last year. Turned out they didn't care about market share after all just amount generated per sale.
>>108048996NTA, but everything is going to rise in price (more than it already has). You have been warned.

Its a night and day difference between the old atx2.4 corsair psu which often had two or more cables pulling 6A or less while the highest would be doing 9.5A at only 600W. Can recommend sticking to atx3.1 for your 400W+ gpus
>>108046766I paid $170 in 2023 for one fully boxed but things are retarded now so it might be even more todayyeah it looks more retarded now
>>108048331>13 14 series cpus are literally broken ootb.fake news they are fine now
>>1080488103090 was the 1st XX90 and was clearly the flagship gaming GPU. And stop being retarded the 1080TI was the clear flagship, shitloads of people even sold their 1080s to get a 1080TI the second it launched.
>>108049302>Picture 16 intakes, 1 exhaust. Lot of positive pressure so the air is kind of trapped here giving it plenty of time to rise in temperatures.>Picture 2Right Middle fan being an exhaust sucks half the fresh air from at least Bottom Right and Right Bottom before they even reach the CPU cooler and have a chance to do their job.>Picture 3Perfect. Let us know how many of the intake fans are reversed because a reverse fan is always lower CFM and Pressure than a regular fan, so it should help to mitigate the 4:1 intake to exhaust ratio and achieve a slightly positive pressure.
>>108049481Isn't Nvidia restarting 3060 production because Samsung has some 8nm fab to spare?
>>108048836>Five Ryzen 9000 CPUs reportedly died on ASRock boards in a single dayDead CPU/Mobo is my biggest fear of building. Every other part I likely got spares off or can use other shit. A dead CPU basically fucks you unless you just so happen to have another CPU for that exact board.
>>108049352$300 for two they'll probably accept >Zero need for storageyeah that's what we all say
>>108049302>>108049506Also keep in mind this is theory and in your case (jej) you might end up with Picture 2 being better than Picture 3. Anyway glad your GPU could take the upward position. Forgot to ask you which model your case is? For personal interest.
>>108049535>in your case (jej)kek thx. it's the ch260 from deepcool. they sell the ch270 which is the exact same case but upright and with a dedicated stand, here i just unscrewed the rubber feet and slapped it on the front where the intake fans are. none of the fans i have here are reverse though
This collusion in the monitor market is insane. MSI had deals all last month knocking off hundreds of dollars of their QD-OLED displays. That stopped end of January and the prices are back up. NOW LG have several monitors and TV on discount knocking off hundreds of dollars. I bet it'll be Samsung's turn next month. Or Asus. Or Gigabyte. This is some fucked up obvious collusion and agreements between them. I'M NOOTICING THINGS AND IT'S DRVING ME INSANE.

>>108049895believe it or not, nvidia used to provide such good gains in the day that their next-gen 2nd largest chip outperformed the current-gen largest chip by 10-30% and cost half as much so they naturally kept the largest next-gen chip for a mid-gen upgrade 9 months after next-gen cards launchedthe titan XP launched alongisde the 1080 but nobody bought that
>>108049115I would go 4k and upsample it. That requires you to have dlss (rtx 2000 series or later) or fsr4 (rx 9000 series ) for good quality. You probably want flicker free because you value yourself. Also you probably want an environment light sensor for image clarity and easy visibility. Personally that made me consider benq mobiuz EX2710U for 27 inch or EX3210U for 32 inch diagonal. If you want to go full schizo brightness 1000+ nits with local dimming then I recommend EX321UX.

>>108050768A Strix 5070TI? Strix? For a 5070TI? Not Prime? Not even TUF? You went STRIX? FOR A 5070 TI
Kinda want to get rid of my second monitor so I can put my pc up on my desk and I rarely ever use the second monitor, but I know the second I do I'm gonna find a need for it
>>108051186have the motherboard vertical so gravity is on your side and use a needle to extract the paste
>>108051235>primeWas my first choice, but I saw the way that components were rising and how there is hub-bub about ti specs not being produced and well, I can afford it so why not get the best TI spec there is?
fuck fuck fuck>>108051222apparently I had too much mx4 the whole time and it made its way down to the socket
I'm based in the UK and the cheapest 2TB NVMe I can get is ~£150Right now my rig has a 1TB NVMe (for OS and vidya) and 4TB HDD(for mass storage)I also have a 1TB SATA SSD laying around doing nothingShould I take the plunge and get the 2TB NVMe or just cope with the SATA drive for now?
>>108051301this should not be an issue. thermal paste is a silicon type grease, and the knife contacts of the socket makes contact regardles, they simply push the grease to a micrometer thick layer which is conductive
>>108051305why do i get the feeling that's a kingston nvme you're looking at...surprised it hasn't gone any higher whatever brand that may be, buy it
>>108051272luckily I had a blue soft fiber toothbrush in my drawer and I think I managed to scrape off enough of it vertically for it to not be a problemI guess PTM for CPU sockets would be pretty convenient right now
>>108051339>KingstonNo, but funnily enough I did order a Kingston NVMe for £100 on Amazon back in JanuaryWaited for two weeks for the delivery and then they cancelled it at the last minute, now it's £230Cheap bastards
>>108051230Anon, don't take the joke about the product as a personal attack.If it works good, it works good. All hardware is ultimately e-waste that will scar some child's lungs during reclamation.
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-board-partners-said-to-plan-5-10-radeon-price-rise-while-prioritizing-8gb-models So whats the plan here?
>>108051426You literally don't need any more than 8GB.
>>108051426>>108051446>8GB models cause performance hitches>"Let's prioritize them."
>>108051446gaben is that you?
Here, graphics card companies. Here's your road to success. Kill all other products other than the 9070 XT and the 5070 Ti 16gb. Only make those. Fuck everything else.
>>108051426>>108051446>>108051474Ummm.. I think the issue is the increase in pricing here.. at that point you might as well get a 5070 which has been free from scalping and price increases so far…
>>108051565And if you fail to grasp the logic here, those are the "good" cards of this generation. If you focus everything on those and can make them better than your peers or offer them in sufficient volume to allow them to remain at or below MSRP, you profit where your diversified peers will lose out.
>>108044928is the ATTACK SHARK R11 Ultra 8K a good mouse? I am wanting to get away from razer and my current basilisk v3 35k.
>>108051633Hell, focus on optimizing the design, and then sell custom faceplates for it. Make one thing really, really good, and put it out there where people who might buy the model under it will see the value you offer and leap to give you more of their money rather than buying from someone else.
>>108051660And I know, if you shake things up you'll get a visit from gangsters. Train your workers in small arms, and melt the gangsters in a series of concealed barrels in your warehouse. And as for their bosses, that's why God made mortar launchers.
is $370 for a used 6800 xt a fair price?
>>108051050with pulsar that would be effective 480hz which would be 2ms persistence blur240hz would be 1000hz so 1ms persistence blur (near perfect)so ideally 240 + strobing is allyouneed(tm)>>108051070less lowered contrast in bright room due to the QD layer getting hit by light so it lowers contrastand the new coating might reduce reflections with better reflection handlingplus it has higher hardness so harder to scratch than the old plastic qd monitor coating
>Founders 5090 for MSRP dropped in my eu web shop from nvidia for old MSRP>Might be the last MSRP drop before we enter the nightmare realm now>Missed it>Even if I fomo'ed and bought it I would need to build rest of system>but It would have been a MSPR FE 5090
>>108051416Anon, one of my dreams is to build some kind of mega recycling plant, that strips all wasted electronics down to atomic bare metal constituents and repurposes them.Imagine if you could extract every molecule of plastic, metal, glass, whatever from an apple watch insetad of seeing it fall into the ocean.
>>108051050pulsar basically killed the idea of high refresh rates. high refresh was just a cope for how badly LCD technology handled motion. none of that shit matters anymore. all you need with a pulsar monitor is 60fps and it will look clear enough that you won't care. even framegen is basically pointless now.
X Pattern or 3 dots for multi-CCD Ryzen CPUs?
>>108051474They don't give a shit about the end user's experience.It's about profit per unit sold.AMD was hoping NVIDIA would raise the overall cost of RTX 50 cards, so they could release a $800 9070 XT from the start.That's why the $750 5070 Ti caused a shitshow @ Radeon.
I just used a kryosheet on my 9850x3d and i have an average idle of 60°C
>>10805188460*4 is still "just" 240fps which is 4ms persistence blur it's not that clear60fps strobing will maybe have flickering too but maybe it's doablewonder how it will lookkinda needed for 60fps gaymes
>>1080519451ms is laggy bs
>>108051954I think you are thinking about oled pixel response times not persistence blur
>>108051995>>108051995>>108051995
>>108051945bait
>>108051446Yeah but they only have one 8gb card, the 9060 XT is their plan to sell only ONE card untiil UDNA?
>>108044928> Liquid Freezer 3/Pro (Bad mounting solution)Bad? What zum Fick is bad with it? It's bomb-proof! And it's also mutt-retard-proof! You can hardly overtighten the screws.It's rather worth mentioning their unique selling point: the beefy 38 mm thickness of the radiator!https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-aio-coolersThe ALF III Pro 360 is the indisputable Queen of AIO! You can get it from just €80 here in Goymoney.
>>108052047So what? AMD is a smaller org, do you expect them to field a dozen cards or something?
>>108049352The 990 is a current scam drive on Ebay. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/fake-samsung-990-pro-passes-basic-checks-but-runs-slower-than-a-usb-2-0-drive-counterfeit-ssds-proliferate-as-nand-shortage-creates-the-perfect-storm-for-bogus-deals
>>108052102>What zum Fick is bad with itI am the anon who drove that comment into the sticky.I >>108052095 have no issues with the performance of my ALFIII Pro. In fact I actually recommend it.Installing on AMD was a fiddly bitch. The mounting solution for AMD was clearly designed during the last week of August while everyone was dreaming about going to the biergardens and had no time for further meetings. It was unnecessarily difficult to get the screws to engage and I ended up with metal flakes on my mobo.KRAUTANONS OF ARCTIC COOLING SOLUTIONS, HEAR MY PLEA, please make a better AMD mount.
>>108044928>>CASE FANS>Meta: Case with good stock PWM fans>Midrange: Arctic P12 Pro, P14 Pro (5-pack, loud @ higher RPM)>High-end: Fractal Momentum, Noctua G2 (140mm or 120mm)guys. any recommendation for pin3? they are all for pin4
>>108052249I'm rather ignorant, but isn't 3pin just the same but without the tach readout? You could very easily make your own adapter.
>>108052249You can use pin4 fans on pin 3 headers just fine; you just won't have access to PWM fan control.
>>108049481why? You can get a 2080super for $200. Unless you really need the 12gigs of vram.
>>108052349thanks. also I just read you can connect several arctic p12 pro between them. does that mean I can connect 3 and only use a single pin 4 to connect on motherboard? also control the speed through the PWM?
>>108052407Yes, but the tach signal has to come from only one of the fans.Then they'll all spin at the same speed.
>>108052445got it, so they will be forced to be synchronized. is there a limit on how many fans can be connected to each other?
>>108052407>thanks. also I just read you can connect several arctic p12 pro between them. does that mean I can connect 3 and only use a single pin 4 to connect on motherboard?Yes, but there's only so much current a single board's fan header can safely handle.I wouldn't daisy chain more than 3 case fans to one motherboard fan header unless you know the exact specs.The official product spec sheets are your friend.Each P12 Pro requires 0.33A per the official specs.https://www.arctic.de/us/P12-Pro/ACFAN00305APic is an example of what the ASUS B850 TUF motherboard says about the current specs for their fan headers.
>>108052466>is there a limit.Yes, but you're going to have to check your motherboard's manual for a maximum current on the header you're using.
>>108049555>>108049846Hey anon I was really happy to help. I learnt about all of this myself when I nearly pulled the trigger on a green matcha The Tower 300 from Thermaltek like a week ago and fell down an airflowed rabbit hole.You had a Deepcool and now you have a Deepcooler for yourself! Godspeed anon.
>>108052482>>108052488thanks anons. I will go with p12 in this case. I think p14 is a bit overboard, and it will be too noisy.
>>1080506965070 is peak product for beaten wives and cucks. Nvidia very knowingly releases xx60 Ti 16Gb but then xx70 12Gb only just so they can nudge you into spending a tiny bit more again and go for the xx70 Ti 16Gb uncompromised experience.Then you have peak midwits on the Internet encouraging people to go from 60 Ti to 70 and then others stating 70 to 70 Ti is better for not much less. It's a very well oiled machine by a cynical company.
what can I do with a bunch of optiplex psu's?I'm thinking at least one I can use to power an e-gpu for a minipc I'm using as an htpc, but I've also got two others. On that topic, would it be better to upgrade an existing 1660s to a 2080super and the use the displaced card, or to just buy an rx6600 along with the egpu dock?
>>108052651I should've mentioned:basement pc has a 5600x with a 1660s.htpc is a minipc with a 7640HS, no occulink out but it does support thunderbolt 4 and has a spare nvme bay that could be used for an occulink adapter.I'll have to buy a dock anyways(~200) and bodge on one of these psus+3d printed shroud. The question is whether I should upgrade pc 1 and use the displaced gpu, or just get a gpu for the minipc.
>>108051426Kek. AMD trying to create FOMO on their products. Absolutely delusional.
>>108052482>>108052407the real world current draw is a bit differentyou still want to spec for max draw because thats what will happen at boot
>>108050741Every review I saw says the issue is with the Pro series while P12/14 either PWM or "base" work fine. I have 1 P12 PWM for 3 years and it's fine and I'm one to notice any noises. Granted, it's set to auto on the motherboard so it's probably not at max speeds ever.
>>108051723No, the 6800 xt are in maintenance mode and no longer on the main branch driver and with dlss 4.5 even a 5060 is better value unless you need to do AI slop in which case get an used 4060 ti 16gb or a 3060
>>108050741FUCK.really? I've yet to make use of these, guess it's why they've been so discounted lately.
