suppose i can bequeath my 27” 1440p panel to my macbook and grab a 32” 4k for pc use. how’s legibility on such a big screen? will a 9070 xt suffice?
>>108063567>>108063589>>108063767Well, it is a very low end setup currently (i7-6820HQ, Quadro M2000M)I wanted to build a real PC, but RAM inflation hit my country extra hard, so I am just focusing on improving QoL instead (better monitor, wireless keyboard + mice, etc)1440p monitor it is then?
>>108064052>stock cpu cooler
>>108064107>how’s legibility on such a big screen? will a 9070 xt suffice?You'll probably have to use around 125~150% UI scaling at least. Some might even go up to 200% scaling.9070 XT should be okay with FSR4.Get Optiscaler to run FSR4 on unsupported titles; don't use it in multiplayer games with anti-cheat detection.You have to test out these monitors for yourself, either by visiting a store's display showroom or buying & returning it if you don't like it.
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING SUPERS JENSEN???
>>108064141lol they're stripping the vram off of their regular models where are they gonna get enough to make supers bro
>>108064141People would just whine about the price anyway.
>>108064020Yeah, the search is like whoa, you wanna do what hackerman?
In this situation, Apple is sitting pretty, and AMD is looking pretty much like second genius for doing the unified memory thing.Unified memory makes ram configurable on a market price.With gpus, the vram configuration is locked in by the board. usually.
RAM has increased so much in price you can buy an entire 9060XT 16GB with how much it costs now.Is anyone actually buying at these prices lmao? $450 is a brand new fucking RDNA4 GPU.
>>108064040Any reason not to include the 9070 in mid range recommendations? It's barely more expensive than the 5060 TI 16GB, and arguably better value than the 5070.
>>108064467we need a domestic supply of ram.The time has come for a new type of government, because our current one is retarded. democracy is stupid.
>>108064467amerimutts and germs are gonna buy that and think it's a great deal and build their pcs to play world of warcraft and hearthstonenormal people are just gonna make due with what they have and upgrade next year
>>108064052>ram in slot 1 and 2
>>108064711>next yearYou sweet summer child
>>108064713They need to be together so they don't get lonely
What's a good barebones case for me to put my own 140mm fans into? Currently considering the NZXT H7 Flow (huge but supports radiators in case I want an AIO in the future) or the be quiet Pure Base 501 Airflow.The XT Pro and Air 903 from the OP look kind of cheap so I'm not sure about those.
