That's decent ram, though probably too slow for intel CPUs and non-3d AMD ryzen which are more affected by ram timings than Ryzen 3d CPUs. If you pick a 9800x3d/9850x3d or 9950x3d, that ram won't be a bottleneck in any way

This is the nvidia experience on Linux. A lot of the games didn't even work and when they did a 30% performance loss compared to windows. Complaining about dishonest brand warring and then doing the exact same thing takes a crazy lack of self awareness

>>108089622
Thanks. I was a CPU I was aiming for anyways so hopefully it'll work out
Hypothetically if I have to go with a lower CPU (like a 7XXX X3D or not even an X3D as a placeholder) what would happen? would the PC just not turn on, or just run somewhat less efficiently?

assuming all people do is play games is a rather narrow view, shillanon, and until (kek) the steam console (another console-ation win for amd!) changes things linux is a tiny market for /gaymers/ since all the normies use windows or some faggot console.

the only things i'm shilling are facts. IDGAF what anons buy as long as they spend their shekels wisely and have some keks. buy all the power you can afford, kids, it's more fun that way.

5080 FE is fine but 5090 FE is too loud and hot. also msi's ventus and shadow are really bad so you should avoid those two models.

5090 pushes the connector to its limits so its best you get a thermalgrizzly wireview pro ii to monitor the connector current draw and set an automatic shutdown for when it runs far out of spec. 5080 doesnt use that much power so this isnt really a problem

Alright ty. I'm def going for at least an X3D processor then.

>>108089786
Might just do that or at least start perusing, I like bundles where I can make use of all the stuff in it. I'm trying to get a GPU locked down first so I can see what I have left after to budget the rest of the build out depending on what I get and how much it costs.
>>
>>108089834
I'm slightly stoned, that happens thanks for correcting

>>108089812
Obviously with the RAM situation you're going to be paying more than normal and the quieter and cooler models will be a few hundred dollars more than the base/worst model
I.e. worst models are MSI Ventus, ASUS Prime, etc
I'd stick to MSI/Asus/Gigabyte imo but if you want to try the others you might regret the warranty

If I had the chance to buy a GPU in November I would've gotten the ASUS Noctua 5080 but I settled on a 5070 Ti in early December -- I didn't want to pay $700 more for a 15% bump in performance

but goddamn that Noctua model would've paired perfectly with my PC

It sounds like I'll be getting a 5080 because the 5090 sounds like it only gives you more issues when I'm not really the type that knows how to build compatible parts together as a whole either way. I would have looked to snipe a 5090 for a little cheaper than they go right now anyways.
As long as you can smoothly play 4k games on a 5080 it's good enough for me, I just want something that'll be able to run games on high quality for the next 5 or so years. Honestly if you wouldn't mind or other anons here it'd be nice if someone could build me a PC on pcpartpicker. Budget would be around $5000-5500 but ideally the less the better of course.

Report all flamewarring, trolling, spamming posts. Long live /pcbg/!

Post your /pcbg/ anyway but know that we have enraged the amdshitposter to the degree that he has vowed to shit up this thread with trash with the goal of killing it.

Spotting the shitposters: the shitposters may be working at gunpoint in a bot farm, paid shill/bot farm, lone schizo, etc. the shitposters rarely ever just tags the OP and asks for it to be updated or changed as asked for in the second part of the sticky. they also resort to things like ad hominem, racism, cherry picked benchmarks, false information, etc. and one of my favorite things is the lone post tagging no one but responding to some previous reply to whatever argument it felt it was losing or with a one-liner just to flood the vapid minds of the unwashed masses with <specific vendors products>. the shitposters necropost old tropes to flood the threads and bump post counts e.g. random garbage questions that any /noob/ would just google or disingenuous descriptions of problems that are copypasta with a few words changed in them. Single line, low-quality posts are often the copypasta. Most recently the OP appears to be trying a super stealth approach - creating the OP with only "subtle" alterations like "-Avoid Nvidia Due To Possible Melting Connectors & Driver Problems", and griefing /g/ by creating and self deleting the thread after a short while.

remain vigilant, /pcbg/, report in silence, and above all - have fun.

Dude I'm not poor. I just know spending an extra $700-800 for aesthetics at that time was stupid. Plus, my MSI Trio pairs perfectly with my MSI Carbon motherboard. My OCD would be slightly off since ASUS, not MSI, got to partner with Noctua.
That and I was also panic buying in early December so I didn't spend as much time as I would have to keep up to speed.

Plus I'm old enough that I'm not gaming nearly as much as I did 10 years ago. Getting old sucks.

Then AMD should've swallow its pride and run all 9070xt at 9070 speeds, being 7% slower instead of 5% slower than 5070ti isn't much different so at least they can earn the efficiency award.

something is obviously wrong with memory clock on idle when not outputting?
