I finally joined the 128 GB ram club with some DDR4 i got off facebook market place for $400 no tax no tip. i do not have to worry about the ram crisis anymore. i'm set for the foreseeable future.
>nvidia manuel right now
Guys I'm so scared what if RE9 doesn't boot since we can't kindly receive the latest
>>108245501Are They intending to unfuck ssds supply soon, any news of that?
>>108245549customer service jobs in general are just awful. pair that with annoying gaymers and i'd probably want to commit sudoku
>>108245569MH Wilds beta still booted and it didnt get game ready drivers until launch day
did they update the fsr on the new amd driver?
>>108245577end of year ram and ssd will correct. if you can wait, wait, but if you must consoom buy sooner than later, we haven't peaked yet.

the ai bubble can't burst soon enough, so tired of these prices
>>108245712there's rumors of a 5090 ti, because rtx 6000 series won't be out by the time rdna 5 is out, and a 5090 ti could be strong enough to keep the crown, but it would have a stock power limit of 750W but going to over 1000W when overclocked.https://youtu.be/p5pZuUmpIyY

they dont give a shit about gaming gpus, the ai gpus market is 10 times bigger
>>108245794they do give a shit, they've been releasing neat features liek dlss 4.5 and pulsar just for gamers even if it helps their bottom line zeronvidia will release new gpus when memory prices are less insane

>>108245857Based. Nothing better than loading faulty shaders.On a side note, FF7 Rebirth's shader compilation makes my 12900ks pull over 350w. Even my open loop feels the burn with that.

>>108246037it was once
>>108246037Yes, if SSD firmware update ever happens it usually means there was something very very wrong with the previous version.
>>108246043is it over bros?
I've realized that my desire for a 5090 is only fueled by CyberpunkHow long can I have fun on this game to warrant a 3400€ purchase?
>>108246168none. it's just a worse version of gta 5. the only thing this game does better is the graphics and you can only look so much at them before you go back to playing it and get bored. they couldn't even make the driving fun. pc gaming is dead and goyslop killed it.

>>108246243i hate...
>>108246243do not update your nvidia drivers actually
On Amazon the MSI B850 Tomahawk has two listings:>MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFi>MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFi V1Which one is the version with 64 MB BIOS? The page doesn't make it explicit.

>>108246327this guy maths
NVME
>>108245609Nah. Seems to be optimizations for RE9 and Marathon. Little else.
Fuck this is a horrible time to need 4tb+
What is the correct way to setup a PWM fan hub? Is it really a good idea to have all your case fans tied to the same header and speed as the CPU?
>>108246168I realized my desire for a 3090 is fueled only by prompting stuff locally like anime boobies exactly how I want them because it's fun
5070ti or 9070xt? Mainly for gaming, also wanna try a vm with gpu passthrough.
>>108246529that sounds stupid. case fans cool more than the cpu.
>>108246539whatever is priced better, unless you have a specific use case for one brand, like linux support or pulsar monitors.
>>108246529you tie them to whatever you feel like
>>108246168Nope this GPU is a bait, by the time the true heavy next gen games come out the 6090 will release The fact that CP2077 is still a benchmark staple after all these years tell you everything
>>108246168Yep Cyber Punk is amazing on a 5090.
>>108246583So buy a 6090 in three years when it releases and sell you 5090 for more than you bought it for. NVIDIA flagships go up in price.
>>108246604I can't really enjoy 5090 because while the graphics are super sugoi and all that, the character animations are just as bad as they were in games from 2000
>summer sale>black friday>crimaswhat is the best time of year for prices on prebuilts? especially refurbished/b-stock/liquidation/open box shit
>>108246612More like two years maximumYou'll probably be able to sell the 5090 at MSRP by then but honestly there are just no good game that warrant a nice rigCP2077 is rushed and really rough around the edges, AW2 is wokeslop, Wukong is your dime a dozen soulslike, what's left?
>>108246617>what is the best time of year for prices on prebuilts?never
>>108246613>5090cyberpunk on the 5090*
>neverthe least-worst then, chud
still never
Should I buy this
>>108246662your mom is gay
>>108246670your dad is gay
>>108246529for me its triggers.if i ise a curve then as soon as they spin up it brings temps down below what i would call idle. then it starts a loop of spinning up then down that gets very annoying. triggers stop this.
>>108245547you don't need nowhere near that much ram... i have 16gb of ddr4, and it's more than enough
>>108246741i will need to look into triggers they seem to do exactly what i want
Thoughts on Jonsbo cases? Currently looking at Z20 and D32.I was considering the Lian Li A3 but its too long.
RAM prices went back up after a brief dip
>>108246627So you play around with a flag ship GPU for years for free. Sounds good to me. CP has come a long way. It's release was horrid.
>>108246783Until AI fucks off, RAM may take a dip now and then, but It will never be affordable.
>>108246834you can just wait another month or two and buy the overpriced ram.
>>108246745Do you not like AI slop?
>>108246866I already bought when the rocket took off. Could have scored some a month earlier when everyone started losing their minds, but I did well enough.
> tfw fell for the 64GB RAM meme
>>108246928Fast 32gb is where it's at for gaming.
>>108246663nah. rtx 4000, 5000, or rx 9000 is all you should seriously consider at the moment unless you're getting a good deal on a used card.
>>108246928>built 7800x3d system on launch>bought 64gb kit for $200>expo didn't work>returned and bought 32gb kit for $100still happy but I should've just got a 64gb kit that had a working profile with my motherboard. oh well.

I have an old IBM server PC case and figured I'd turn it into a gaming rig for about 800 euro. Any recommendations for hardware ? I'd be running linux only and I don't need a chinese cartoon wife on my computer.unrelated but wtf happened to the captchas since the last time I was here
>>108246168Cyberpunk is graphically demanding but an intensively mediocre game, it's just riding on the good will from Witcher 3 to cover up how tepid it is from start to finish. Get a cheaper card, it will still max out any video game worth playing and you won't need to worry about your power bill or PSU.
>>108246939I got 6000MHz CL36 at 250€, but it's on a 7800X3D so the latency doesn't really matter much
>Bought a 5070 tiidk should I return it, it's a Asus Rog strix variety and i.couodve gotten a 5080 from pny or something for the same price
>>108247048say it in English.
>>108247114Only if it's close to MSRP. The 5080 is barely better than the 5070ti unless you're rendering tons of shit in blender or something.
I know this is not a serious mod attempt and that I'm early, but be quiet floating HDD cages are actual fucking black magic. When I had that Pure Base 600 no sound would leak through whatsoever, I could not hear the high frequency idle spinning at all. Here even some foam padding and silicone can't negate the buzzing and high pitch whine.Most cases not only are made from thin steel with no anti-vibration HDD cages, but they also leak a TON of sound. High frequency whining especially. Not the case with the 600, even the side air intakes on the front panel are made in such a way that there is no direct line of sight to the hard drives.Fuck, if I don't replicate the acoustics of the Pure Base 600 within the HAF 932 Advanced it will be embarassing depending on how much money goes into that project. Cause I could literally keep the 600 on top of my table and not even perceive the ear piercing noise if the drives.
holy shit
>>108247132If you boughted AMD you are really dumb
>>108247132Useless DirectX shit nobody uses. The world is moving towards Vulkan because that's what Android,Mac,iPhone,anything that's not Windows uses.
>>108247176good thing these same features are there on vulkan but not supported for AMD hardware
If I bought a 65 inch OLED TV to play games on, not as a main thing but if I wanted to play a pure single player game with HDR/actually good brightness is there any downsides to it? Like HDMI splitters having limited output
>>108247132Raytracing bullshit
>>108247180Something something Nvidia is missing half the extensions of AMD on Linux
>>108247132AMD lost
>RDNA 3 officially on maintenance modei told you hardware unboxed lied, same will happen with RDNA 4 because it has no dedicated RT cores
>>108247234Nvidias drivers don't even work on Linux and had to get pulled on Windows
>>108247064Post pictures or fuck off your question is so fucking vague everyone ignored you last thread
>>108247241AMD unboxed is an entertainment channel. I don't know why people even spout their nonsense.
>>1082472415070ti and 5080 are already end of life according to nvidia
>>108247149the case is comparatively small to the one you tested and dwarfed by the haf, it will be louder
Am I supposed to use the adapter with 5070 ti or just use the 12V 6+2 on Rm750x?Also the adapter has 3 branches (x4 ports), is it mandatory to use the 3 of them?
>>108247302Lol
>>108247158I would've bought this had I bought sooner and it wasn't $500 (50%) more than the 5070 Ti despite being only 15% faster.
>>108246884No, I'm not a degenerate coomer.
>>108247302funny how they still get directx12 features while AMD cards do not
What's it like having a 5090? How awesome would life be...
>>108247220is anv nvidia?I think mesa is open source amd, and radv is official amd?
DROP THE PRICES
>>108247220on no!anyway
>>108247404I need the price to double again so I can sell my kits.
>>108247451>>108247404So you're this redditor?https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ddr5/lucky-pc-builder-orders-32gb-corsair-ram-kit-for-usd300-gets-a-box-of-10-worth-usd3-000-instead-plans-to-sell-all-the-extra-units-to-the-community-at-pre-ai-crunch-prices
>>108247404that was when I bought crazy it got so much worse /pcbg/ saved my assI could not have gotten this build if they wanted $500+ for it
>>108247312I don’t think it’s necessary to use the adapter, I think it’s for psi’s without the proper connection. However, I didn’t realize this when I set mine up and I used it but now I kind of like the three cord look.
>>108247404>>108247480I got in @ July. $80 for these bad boys.

>>108247585Based NVIDIA giving AMD another chance. To bad they will shit the bed.
>>108245501Any recommendation for a wireless mouse+keyboard combo, I wish to spend around 50€ for mouse and 100€ for keyboard, also how good are bluetooth peripherals today, my board has bluetooth so if they are any good, it would be cool not to occupy my ports with shitty dongles.
>>108247747bluetooth has worse latency and takes more battery.
I have given up to FOMO.I have never had a desktop laptop, only gay laptops. After lurking the pc building space for a while and constantly raging at ram prices not going down, I fell for the rampocalypse meme. Rationalizing my buy as pc components will never get cheaper(at least for a while).Ive bought a pre built because I was afraid I would screw up if i built it myself(and also might be cheaper?)These are the specs:>5060 ti 16 GB>AMD 8700F>32GB DDR5 RAM 6000Mhz 30CL> 1TB SSD> dont remember the motherboardprice>1300EURI am used to savemaxing and being a super cheap fuck (like at a jew level) because I am a filthy poor, so this purchase kinda stings me alot.How stupid was this buy? Or was it reasonable? I am looking at it as not so bad given the RAM,GPU, SSD prices...Also rationalizing it as an investment, i feel like pc components will be the new housing (FUCK YOU I GOT MINE).
>>108247871It's decent but you could've saved a bit more by staying a few generations behind, like a 5800X/T and DDR4 RAM instead, it's "only" about 10% slower, but the entire setup would probably have been 300€ cheaper.If you had gotten the 5950X you could have been 30% faster in MT while still being cheaper than the 8700F setup.https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/6104vs6307vs3862/AMD-Ryzen-7-8700F-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-5800XT-vs-AMD-Ryzen-9-5950Xt. still running the 5800X3D (the last CPU Homo Sapiens Sapiens is ever going to need)>>108245501So the Nvidia 50 Super cards are cancelled or what?

>>108247965>>108247996>5070ti and 5080 are cancelled lmaoFML. I was going to buy a 5080 Super "finish" my build. Or a Ti if that ever happened, a man can dream of the glory days.
>>108247871It seems fine to me. Like the other anon said DDR4 is the easiest way to squeeze out more value out of the build but that one will last you a while.
>>108247999was in the same boat, but then got tired of waiting and bought 5080, thought i will just sell for small loss and buy a super later, glad i did that, before everything went to shit.
>>108247871>like at a jew levelYou know you could have said everything except for this and what you said still would have made sense.
>>108247871Give us the brand of the mobo, psu, ram, and cpu cooler, and then we’ll make fun of you. You didn’t even build a pc so not sure why you’re here.
>>108247959>>108248003Ty anons, I know I did not minmax like I am supossed to but I was just tired of being a waitfag.I also feel like this market is starting to look like pokemon cards so the FOMO scalper mentality is kicking in on high gear.
>>108248025That's great, how much did you pay? I wanted to skip the 5080 and go straight for the Super because I wanted the extra VRAM and hate hassling with my computer as I'm autistic about cable management.The 5080 ProArt is like 1500€ right now, wasn't MSRP like 1000€ max?https://geizhals.de/asus-proart-geforce-rtx-5080-oc-edition-90yv0n30-m0na00-a3575086.htmlAlso why the fuck are HX750i not being sold anymore?

>>108248099Bought it for around 1200€.
>>108247999>>108247965>>108247996Should have bought a 5090.
>>108248079Welp Its just a base for me to tinker in the future. Seems safer starting from something and deconstructing when it gets outdated. Then eventually I will be able to build a new one if I choose to.Also the psu is 750W and the cooler and brands dont know.>>108248070I thought you had free speach in this forum..
