https://youtu.be/5JtF7f5Vtp4So this is true then? FSR4 works fine on older AMD cards, a bit of a performance hit sure but that's the same with DLSS 4.5 on older Nvidia cards and AMD is just....not porting it? And there's a leak of the code out showing it runs just fine? Then AMD announces older cards are going into "maintenance mode"? So old cards are stuck with FSR3 which is a lot worse than FSR4? Why would AMD do this?

Should I sell my PC (3080; 3700x, 32gb ram) and buy the Mac Mini M4 Pro instead? I'm kinda giving up on pc gaming and already have the ps5 pro. I feel like most modern games are more optimized on consoles anyway. My other main purpose: photo editing in LR; 4k video editing in Davinci; ableton live and a bit of blender modelling. I have a mac at work and it's such a pleasure to use compared to windows. Not to mention that eletricity costs are 1/10 of my current gaming pc.
PC building is gay
>>108085396i get mad piussi bro
>>108085527They must know something we dont about what will happen soon, my take is at computex we'll probably see some big announcement on the nvidia side in terms of software features
>>108085667thats a life choice you need to make for yourselfbut if you do, skip the mini m4 pro and get a used mac studio
>>108085661There's zero downsides to getting exercise.
>>108085673>pre-builtsI am not a fucking retarded normie who is afraid of plugging components together so I will build my own.
>>108085677he's just mad at amd because they called him wrong twice
>>108085661Anyway I got shit to do instead of lead you on, the point is used goods have the chance that someone who knows better than you determined they were inferior.The simplest example of this would be 2 chips, one that can hit 5ghz on 1.2 volts, and another (inferior) chip that needs 1.3, which means more heat and potentially a shorter lifespan depending on many other factors.If you want a computer that runs and you are not chasing single digit performance things or power consumption, a used component is probably fine. If you don't like sloppy seconds and are trying to be on the bleeding edge it's likely your used gear won't win the silicon lottery
>>108085667seems fine. if you're into consoles i don't see much reason to also have a gayming pc anyway, especially with the prospect of needing an upgrade in the current pricing environment
>>108085516What are you doing that would cause physical damage to the components? Find the answer to this question to answer your own.
>>108085735>t. thinks overclocking just means magic number goes up
>>108085648Subscription PCs have been a thing since the 80s though
>>108085735>What are you doing that would cause physical damage to the components?Running more electrical current through them and degrading the metal they are made up faster.
>>108085673you watch your mouth around Hank
>>108085667If you are fine playing on consoles - go for it. I was in same spot and thought that macbook+xbox would be enough, turned out I absolutely hate aiming on controller. So now I have macbook, xbox, and I pay to jacketman regular monthly subs for ultimate plan on geforce now because I cannot embrace shit-tier controller experience over godly mkb. This is fucking dumb at this point and I legit consider buying a PC again, it is just that it is fucking impossible to do these days without selling a kidney. So think twice, or you might also find yourself regretting it all a few months down the line.

I have a bunch of pc parts lying on my shelf so I decided I may as well build an ai server with around $1200 (I only need the cpu+cooler, mobo, psu and case) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wxHJ7wIs asrock really that bad? I usually go with asus parts, but the last mobo I got from them had some issues. I compared many boards and the asrock has exactly what I need, double x8 lanes for my gpus and a high quality audio codec in case I want to replace my main pc. Also the website says the case may not fit the gpus, but it shows seven expansion slots?
>>108085597>>108085833Gotta go and get a flash drive I suppose. Looking at the bios, yeah they're old so it's a good idea to update them. Thanks fellas.>>108085830Nah I only use ethernet.
>>108085862lower temps. higher boost. less noise.
>>108085677Or, you know, they need content for their AMD viewerbase and can't put it off forever. As far as Computex goes it could be as low value of a bet as "they will reveal DLSS 5.0 which is just the current plus ray regeneration!". Which of course would put Radeon ever further behind if they have no answer for this exact topic of FSR4 compatibility with older cards.

>>108086056Also the meettings started happen a few days ago
>>108086059Amazon also charges shipping unless you have Prime
I was almost certain it's a scam, but last night I ordered a 4 TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD for only 450$, which is MSRP price.But the seller isn't even shipping it.
>>108085529>Gaming innovations also spill into adjacent sectors, with CAD engineers and video editors specifying high-refresh panels to minimize cursor latency.

>>108086121Only on orders less than $35
>>108086157it may or may not be ebay sellers are notoriously lazy when it comes to shipping shit they'll go on a day when they drop off all their other shit too no way will you get next day shipping off ebay especially on a weekend
>>108085857Teach me on AMD CPU and Nvidia GPUI've never done it and just finished a 9800+5070Ti buildMSI mobo
>>108086200I think it's more so a scam because they are selling a $1300 SSD for $450.But I'll have to see when/if I get my hands on it.
>>108086168I have a feeling most of this shit is a stretch.The ultrawide thing is telling as radiology departments have extremely specific and specialized monitors for such imaging, one of those being DICOM complaint screens.
>>108085516Depends on the component, but realistically tranmsient voltage spikes will fry your hardware way more than any overclock could do so you already are playing a completely blind lottery, if you got a "good" batch you could run an agressive OC and your shit will last your 20 years, while on a bad batch shit its gonna explode in 5 years regardless what you do and overclock may actually accelerate the proccess which may help you get RMA during warrant,y overall if you want min max hardware you just run an stable OC without increasing voltage on your GPU which will increase your chance of your GPU to shit the bed during the 3 year warranty period if its a badly binned chip or they fucked up on the proccess of manufacturing it, and as soon as the warranty is void you just look up to sell it and buy a new one if its a nvidia one you'll not need that much to upgrade as long as you are capable of selling it without getting scam, for CPU i never overclock though

>>108086331I tried a wireless mouse and it was fantastic until I realized I had to charge it. The only problem with a wire is I am starting to run out of usb ports to plug external hard drives into and hubs tend to have shitty transfer speeds.
>>108086260by all accounts the next gen of cards has been pushed out for a very long time so if you somehow find a decent priced 5090 i think it's still fine to buy instead of try to wait it out. Just checked the discord server I used to get my founders edition a few months ago and it looks like there are still drops at msrp occasionally if you get lucky, although I suspect with current street prices these are going to be heavily botted

>>108086168>gamers basically drive all monitor innovation and then other markets see the tech and apply it to their use casesThis is fact.I used to work in the medical device manufacturing field - not little devices, either, think whole labs e.g. pic related is a clusterfuck of RTOS, Linux, and Windows hardware strung together with miles of wire and cooling loops for the X-ray device.There are a substantial number of anons in the field who design these things that are also gamers and general high-dollar /consoomers/ of PC tech, so it's not a wonder that they maybe buy the user-grade stuff at home and start coming up with ideas and then asking for this new tech in the dev labs where it can be used for testing (no humans in the mix, for x-ray they use "phantoms" which are human skeletons encased in plexiglas).>was an IT tech supporting these types of weirdos, have /pcbg/'d many proof-of-concept hardwares

when I get my hands on my 7800X3D on AM4 I will undervolt the cores individually and assuming it'll be a 5100mhz cpu I'll lock it at 5000mhz to get even crazier undervolts, things' gonna be running at .9v

nvidia wont release gpus until 2028, I wonder if there's a gap for AMD to release rdna5 in early 2027 or late 2026 since we know it's already finished and win market share, the nerds say it'll be a good generation and blah blah blah, having a good product and a good opportunity to launch it could be a great boon for radeon

AMD stock fell pretty bad despite being a hardware provider because the market is afraid of AI buildup not being profitable (it isn't), they have to work on good and cheap products that provide cash flow in 2026 and 2027 to offer a cushion for all the shady OpenAI deals that could snap at any time (they will)but they are fucked because the RAM and storage prices will stop people from buying new PCs, so no CPUs and no GPUs will sell this year, it'll be a big dip compared to 2025and that's why I think they'll delay zen 6 indefinetly and cut zen 4 production, they'll just sell zen 5 and re-ignite zen 3 production because there's an upgrade path for the CPUs on existing systems, they just need to release something new and better and I think they will
>>108086855Post poor build.
>>108086910Since NVIDIA and Intel are buddies now, will intel release a CPU worth a fuck?
>>108086923intel will release nova lake which sounds like a great upgrade but it's a cpu + motherboard + ram combo (unless you already have ddr5 sticks) so I'm sure it'll be a terrible launchI never cared for AMD having those many generations with the same socket thing but in this AI crunch it's a great advantage that people can just upgrade by buying a new cpu
it intel was smart they would sell bartlet lake for consumers (assuming it has hyperthreading) because it's a lga 1700 cpu that doesnt have joke ecores and run on ddr4, but intel isn't smart
>>108086951>Unless you already have ddr5 sticksThat's one thing I actually have. I got a few sets before the apocalypse. I still don't trust AMD for a CPU despite their obvious speed superiority.

>>108087058The issue is that 4K is pointless if you're going for regular monitor sizes.You're not really getting a considerable quality improvement if you aren't going for 42" and above.27"~32" 4K is a noob trap.
>>108087184MSI afterburner is russian malware that bsods your computer in anticheats but then again so does Windows when it disconnects your NVME.

Received my 5060 Ti and knew it would operate at PCIE 5.0 8x speed but I was really surprised to see it actually is physically sized as an 8x instead of (fake) 16x so it could fit and clip the plastic locker nicely.I pushed it into my PCIE 3.0 16x slot anyway and secured it by tightening the rear brackets to the maximum.Is it something specific to my model? Am I safe here or is it kind of bullshit? To be clear I'm not talking about 8x operating okay on a 16x slot, I'm talking about a real world, material, physical 8x size connector clipped into a twice longer 16x slot.

>>108087542It's fine but comically overpriced. Was 120 just a month ago. Are you using all 4 dimm slots or just replacing the 16gb?
>>108087593Replacing. I mostly play games from 2012 and as long as it's good enough for cyberpunk(for a friend) its fine by me really. Did you have a suggestion or perhaps I should grab 2 for a total of 4 sticks?
>>108087508The Lab was horribly abused and the owners adopted it knowing the dog had problems. It still tore the shit out or Cesar, which was funny.
>>108087603Oh you're fine. I was just asking since I actually have the same ram. 32gb is fine.

What is a good thing to buy right now?
>>108087439I ran two quick FurMark 2 OpenGL Preset 1080 test and ended up with 188 FPS. I compared that to their chart and the average for 5060 Ti is 187 FPS.Somehow from PCIE 5.0 8x to PCIE 3.0 8x isn't a big deal. I knew about PCIE 3.0 16x being a 1 to 4% drop but even 8x running in this ballpark is somewhat surprising.I'm wondering about image generation or LLM though. Anyway I could test that? Or there's no reason for it to be any different?

>>108087764>I'm wondering about image generation or LLM though. Anyway I could test that? Or there's no reason for it to be any different?Depends if you can fully fit the model onto the vram. If yes you'll just see an increased model loading speed, the actual token interference won't be much slower. If it is split between several cards or dram the lower bandwith may be some bottleneck, but probably not that noticeable anyway.

>>108087976like other anon said, memory training. some mobos has a led or they blink your power button.
>>108087976The Chinese government is inside your computer stealing your data.
>>108087921Mine is yellow on MSI and it's normalQuick memory training It's funny how anons scared me here that memory training would take 5 minutes or some shit but when I put it together the first boot was like 30 seconds tops to BIOS
>>108085360> nowWe were smart, we bought when 64GB of fast RAM was just €235.
>>108088005mines took 2 minutes but after that its up in 10 seconds
>>108087994>>108087987I have no idea what any of those mean. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? This is my first PC build, and all I did was follow the building steps from some guy on YouTube.
>>108088078it's normal and to be expected. if you ever swap out your ram, clear your cmos, maybe update your bios or just switch around the ram sticks, your board is just going to show the red led longer until memory training has been completed. it's normal for ddr5.
>>108087590> If M2_2 is occupied, both rear USB4 Type-C Ports and M2_2 will downgrade to x2 mode> If M2_4 is occupied, both PCIE3 and M2_4 will downgrade to x2 mode.Nice shitboard.
>>108088078Computers have always done ram training but with DDR5 it takes longer to check all the extra signals. Before DDR5 RAM was just a dumb chip on a PCB. today they have PMICs, controllers, etc.
>>108088078It's typical AMD dementia that forgets what ram its using totally normal btw, on AMD that is, Intel doesn't do any of that ram training memery.
Today was the first time I had to uninstall a windows update in 10 years of pc gaming. Anyway, at least I have the option. Can't imagine how annoying it must be when consoles have shitty updates.
>>108088113just because intel's shit platform doesn't do those checks doesn't mean it's only a thing on am5. it was a choice to guarantee the most stability nigger.
>>108088113It happens on Intel as well but it takes a minute instead of two. Intel does fewer POST checks but thats also why they crash more.
I should have bought it now I'm depressed.
>>108088225They were cancelling peoples orders, I doubt you would have got it.
>>108088255Oh it was one of those things again. Corsair already got me once. This must be AI algorithms coming up with these crazy sales.
?
>>108088255> They were cancelling peoples ordersToo good to be true. I learned to ignore such "offers".
I'm already bored and the AI hardware winter just started, imagine that we'll have no new cool things for the next 2 years guys, what are we even going to do? play games? touch grass? have sex? that's for losers, I want to build computers, undervolt cpus and tune ram timings and I want it now
>>108088309just get a full tower. dont bother with mid atx.
>>108088317It's corsair ram, they're extreeeemely lucky to get canceled.You couldn't pay me to use corsair.
>>108088309> Voltage monitoringAre you an autist? Do you need a PC just to stare at voltage readings through it's window?You can have voltages monitored in software and set alarm limits so you don't get distracted by unnecessary shit that a program can do for you.
>>108085268Why on earth is your TV actually connected to the InternetNobody fucking does thatContent plays on what is plugged into the TV, not the TV itself
>>108087765TAA in all modern games looks like complete shit. Not making excuses for devs but that's just how it is now. DLAA is really the only half-good option. 4k doesn't fix that, it's just harder to notice the jaggies at such a bloated resolution.
looking at the bright side, zen 7 and whatever comes after nova lake will be on 1.4nm node and that will be a great time to upgrade because they are having a lot of trouble going lower than that so we might be in 1.4nm for more than one generation
>>108088368per some yt. Realtime computer graphics typically refer to raytracing as ground truth (like real ray tracing, not "ray tracing" videocards do).The consequence is that an artificial look is the standard for real.But it's fake fake.Real would be just looking at the real world and coming up with ways to make it look that way.Much focus exists on accurate shadows. you don't need accurate shadows, you need convincing shadows. Much focus exists on realism as a step-down from accurate. realistic shadows - you don't need realistic shadows, you need convincing shadows.realism is stupid, in at least most games. The only excepition is like maybe... puzzle games? idk.Like we could imagine a new Thief game where rt shadows actually mattered. But actually the game was always better as an idea than in implementation.
>>108088368Fuck TAA. Devs can't optimize for native high resolution to save their lives. Every engine has upscaling ham fisted into it and they expect you to use it. It pisses me off to no regard. Blurry fucking garbage.
>>108088414The good news is we don't need new computers, because the new games all suck.>>108088426
>>108088426do you use super resolution?
>>108088368DLAA is still TAA. You can't avoid TAA because the alternatives are no AA (jaggies) or post processing AA that blurs the whole screen.
>>108087764To my knowledge only the 8gb model was seeing noticable performance hits from the decision to go with x8.
>>108088444I mean, for low poly or older shit yeah, are you saying to use super resolution and then TAA on top of it in general tho? I just feel like I could natively run some UE4 games at 4K, and now same games almost demand you use upscaling, look blurry as fuck, and run worse.
>>108088430True, most modern titles I enjoy are roguelikes and shit that could run on toasters, or low poly games that just have clever mechanics, etc. AAA has been consistent slop for easily a decade if not longer
>>108085667>already have the ps5 pro
can anyone give me a qrd on (ryzen) processors?the X3D ones seem to be the most highly recommended outside of some mobo compatibility issues. But they're quite a lot more expensiveLike a 7800X3D is ~$500 cadI don't mind going for it if its worth or more future proof. But I can get a 7 7700X for ~$150 cheaper than that and there are other options in between. I probably don't want to go a whole lot cheaper since I still want a good upgrade. Can someone put it all in retard-proof terms?
>>108088488I was just thinking if the game won't let you turn it off, then use super resolution and that should nerf it, I guess. I've never tried it. ideally, game resolution and screen resolution would be independent.
>>108088541x3d good for games
>>108088541x3d performs well in games since they are so latency dependent + amd architecture is bad if you dont have large amount of l3 cache. You can buy budget am5 cpus and still get decent perf, but its more like stopgap to you eventually buying the proper x3d cpu.if you can afford it you can buy 9800x3d as a more future proof option, but the pricing shouldnt go up since the ram price insanity means not many people are upgrading to am5 platform when the ram costs 500$
>>108088541x3d makes shit games run good. that's it. with more shit games every year the x3d cpus are going to stay relevant. i guess stupid developer and stupid game engines can't fit everything they need in the 32mb of normal l3 cpu cache. that's why x3d performs so well. your cpu can only produce so many fps in games. you can see how many if you run a game at the lowest settings at 720p usually. usually 100fps (with really shitty ones) and over that with well made ones. the x3d cpus are future proof against shit games that are now not the norm but are going to be in the future.
>>108088255>>108088278>Oh it was one of those things again>>108088317Pretty sure only the "late" orders were getting canceled. There was a similar situation a week ago where Newegg sold a kit of 96GB RAM, a 360mm AIO, a Z890 Motherboard and a 500GB SSD for $600. A bunch of people that ordered got canceled, but mine ended up being delivered because I bought immediately.The bundles are real, just low stock, so if you think it's something you want/can use, don't bother waiting, just buy it.
>>108088541>Can someone put it all in retard-proof terms?Buy the 9800X3DThat is all
>>108088426Dynamic scaling means console users could have more cinematic slop on their platforms of choice with less effort on the devs part. It's not going away at this point so all we can do is adapt.>>108088450The blur is obnoxious but how bad it is depends on the game. Wukong looks like shit no matter what you do. Monster hunter looks much better with DLAA though.
>>108088606thats a really shitty bundle.the bundle was cancelled because the ram itself costs more than everything else
>>108088636>the ram itself costs more than everything elseThat's what makes it worth buying. You can flip that stuff easily and the money you make can go towards actually buying something decent.

>>108088872Failure rates are sub 2% from every source which is within the normal range and can be chalked up to tsmc manufacturing errors
>>108088898these are all lies btw
>>108088872They started exploding again right when the 9850X3D was launched. Several investigations have been announced by motherboard companies. AMD has still officially said nothing on the topic and never has.
>>108088882>>108088898>>108088915So if I have an MSI board am I safe?
>>108088872It's retards trying to OCing their CPUs and then wondering why they're blowing up.
>>108088932you probably couldnt intentionally replicate the issue no matter the board or cpu you had
>>1080888721000% mobo related.cpus dont just burn on a dime they are told to do so and the motherboard is the one that controls the settings.
>>108088309Yes that's smartUse CPU cooler to filter on pcpartpickerYou can use Google AI to double check clearancesIt worked for me with my case and CPU cooler it had like 8mm clearance between cooler and side of case
>>108088932There's no point fretting over a 1.5% failure rate. There's a greater chance of you receiving bad bin silicon that needs high voltages to run 6000 xmp ram than one that fails/blows up because of manufacturing defects
