>Main screen went pixelated and PC frozeDon't do this to me now, I'm so close to replacing you
I finally took my ass to a store and got a good look at 27" 4K vs 32" 4K. I'm going 27" 4K. The text clarity and overall better image clarity was not a meme at all. It was a quite significant difference to me. They also had 27" 1440p up what I'm on now and shit was worlds apart. And also, size wise, 32" didn't seem like that big of a jump compared to 27". On paper it's 40% more screen space but it didn't really feel that much worth it, especially for the cost, they slap on an extra $300 to get to that size and then you are just in TV range price wise, pretty decent ones too. Like a 42" C5 is a similar price to the 32" monitors. A TV would have worse clarity but then that's like 42" which kind of makes up for it just because you have so much more space in your face than over 32". I didn't know if 4K 27" was a meme or not, I had a 4K 13" work laptop, that shit was ngl horrible, I thought 32" would be minimum to make it work, but 4K27 looked pretty perfect to me, I can see why they're moving to 5K/1440p displays now. I never put much stock into pixel density but I'm seeing it counts for a lot now. You should go see for yourselves if you can these youtube videos just don't get the point across.
i wish i had an rtx 7090

This is just getting too crazy now man look at all the dithering and shimmering when RT is off, these game devs simply do not give a shit any more and are forcing you to use RT to even get a playable experience now and I'm not even talking about frame rate I'm talking about actual functioning graphics.
>>108340106just makes it easier to pick out the slop
>>108340106For some reason everyone forgot how to do soft shadows and self shadows in DX12 when this used to be hella common in DX9-DX11.

>>108340185I'm getting worried I really should have got a 5090, this path tracing shit, every dev is pushing it hard they just had witcher 4 devs saying everything will be path traced
>>108340220>>>disable antialiasing and lower effect qualityThey're all TAA based, you can't disable AA, it's literally TAA and that shit is exactly what TAA looks like.Go back to playing Arkham Asylum or Assassins Creed 3 or something else made for the PS3 or whatever pre 2018 shit your 1080TI loves
>>108340228Don't forget to use his referral codes Nico, someone's got to fund his 5090 purchase.All these shills use an RTX 4090 or a 5090.
>'MUH NVIDYA BAD GUYS! BUY RADEON!'
>>108340265Are you illiterate or just stupid? >TAA>not AAPick one, retard.
>>108340324Intel too? For shame AMDUnboxed
>>108340330You cannot "disable AA" in any of these games you retard. They all use TAA. They are built using TAA. Talking about "disabling AA" is not possible, at all. You are retarded.
>>108340291if you bought a $4000 GPU and 1200W PSU you may as well use it
>>108340352Except they do let you disable TAA, as evidenced by the video? Which, by virtue of TEMPORAL ANTI ALIASING being antialiasing means you're disabling antialiasing. Have you even launched a game before? What makes you think you can lie about something this fundamental and get away with it?
>>108340376>TEMPORAL ANTI ALIASING being antialiasing means you're disabling antialiasingJust fuck off and kysl; you're a waste of this planet.
show me interesting pc cases
>>108340198>vulkanAMD still hasn't added FSR4 Vulkan support.>'But muh copetiscaler can...'This mod uses a DX12 to Vulkan bridge, and there's a 5~10% performance penalty.
>>108340418my case is too hipster, it won't be interesting if you know about it
>>108340376>>Except they do let you disable TAA, as evidenced by the video?Except they do not let you disable TAA how are you not getting this. The game is literally built with TAA. You cannot turn it off. Do you think turning of RT is disabling TAA? Are you that retarded?
>>108340418https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/Most of them are fishtanks unfortunately
>>108340418anything by TRYX for style>>108333878>get refunded for what i got it.>not forcing supplier to give you a replacement cardi feel sorry for your consumer protection laws that cucked you soo badly. Karma for buying Njudean bottom-tier gpus though.>didn't buy even a mid-tier case, let alone full-size for a few bucks more>can't even fit a normal sized gpuyou're not very good at making decisions in general huh. Like, for my first 2 pcs, when i knew nothing at all, and had a tech friend assemble them for me, i asked for a large case purely on instinct, it just made sense to me that the extra room might be handy and couldn't hurt.
>>108340332>last stable intel cpu>last good nvidia gpu
>>108340398>he can't accept he doesn't know that TAA is a form of antialiasingPathetic. Exceptionally pathetic.>>108340436Why are you lying? Every game with TAA has the ability to disable it. Are you just doing that pathetic nu4chan manchild thing where you cope and redefine the meaning of words to pretend you're correct, as if you have a reputation you must protect at all costs on a cambodian mushroom farming forum?
>>108340532>Why are you lying? Every game with TAA has the ability to disable it.
>>108340532>Every game with TAA has the ability to disable itOnly mods can do that, and it's not a good idea to completely disable TAA this way.New games render hair, fur, glass, etc. using a “checkerboard” pattern and TAA is needed to smear those dots together.TAA is also needed to reconstruct lower resolution volumetric clouds.
>>108340324>>108340332>why wont content creators who know better than me shill for MY jewish megacorps?!stop crying you retarded faggots. They've always been even handed and have many videos criticising AMD. Touch grass before you get committed to an asylum irl.>>108340230>witcher 4 Ranjeesh, your jewish overlords forgot to mention that nobodies gonna play that slop. Shill a different overpriced goyslop game.>femwitcherlmao.
>>108340604Look at this Indian retard missing the entire point. Those guys end up using GeForce cards because they're simply better.
>>108340013I am actually really interested in dynamic frame gen.
>>>108331484So, after doing my research, I am kind of stuck. RAM and SSD prices are horrible. Plus, if I did go with the first approach, I don't know if it would be the *best* option. There is really no such thing as best, but I want to make sure I am getting something that will last me and be able to do the work I need it to do. Should I just wait at this point, anons? But if I do wait, how long will I even be waiting? RAM and SSD prices are going to take years to go down, and even after that I still have to pick parts and everything, which is very tedious since I have a set budget in mind.Also, before anybody says that the $400 budget is not enough, I am not buying a steam deck or console. I want to buy the desktop tower so it can be a workhorse and do work, not gaming, which is why I most likely don't plan on getting a GPU unless the CPU doesn't have iGPU.
>>108340805Earn and save more money then.You keep talking about "muh workhorse PC for work", go fucking earn it.
>>108340677no you foreskin-deficient retard, just no. I'm refuting once again, the Njudean mindslave retards ITT who seethe whenever fair-minded creators like Gamersnexus+hardware unboxed criticise the most anti-consumer megacorp in PC tech, Njudea, for their shenanigans.Criticising them for their kikery has nothing to do with whether they recommend the gpus or not, and they do all the time. But retarded goyslaves like you, conflate the criticism with shilling and see nothing else, you're a fucking moron who should be banned from the general for even writing these posts.>>108340805$400 is the price of 1 half decent pc component anon. All i can say is you should look on facebook marketplace for some boomer selling off a laptop or pc used and get one of those.Maybe look at a used thinkpad.
>>108340830You are the consoomer retard who mindlessly bought a 7900 XTX at full price, and AMD doesn't even want to support it anymore.All those content creator's NVIDIA critiques go out the window when it comes to choosing their own GPU. You still don't get it.Go kys.
>>108340595Just admit being wrong already, zoomer. This is far more embarrassing to your "reputation" or whatever you're trying to protect than just admitting you were wrong.>>108340805You are many, many years too late for a $400 build to be viable. There are laptops in the low end, used, and refurb market that'll run you that little, or you can hit up places like ebay where corporate Pc recyclers like Discount Computer Depot are willing to sell decent office-level pcs for an okay price.
>>108340897I'm not the ESL who wrote this pile of shit in >>108340376>TEMPORAL ANTI ALIASING being antialiasing means you're disabling antialiasing>'AA being AA means you're disablling AA'What a mind fucked faggot.
>>108340918>can't read>can't use context clues>can't understand what is being said>cries ESL because he can't understand basic English
>>108340977>Some games use TAA to hide dithering or noisy effect (such as SSAO, soft shadows or ray tracing), leading to some titles forcing TAA to be enabled, providing no options to disable it in-game outside of console commands, editing game configuration files, or installing modified DLSS/FSR .dll files, tricking the game into thinking DLAA/DLSS or FSR is enabled without enabling any anti-aliasing. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Anti-aliasing#TAA/TSSAAI accept your concession.
>>108340986>>108340986>ignore every game that has the ability to disable TAA (in the antialiasing and/or upscaling sections)>look at what valve says (they don't make games) when they copypaste from wikipedia (unreliable source, no examples provided either)Pathetic attempt, zoomer. Meanwhile, the start of this one-sided discussion was >>108340106which visibly, objectively shows TAA (and various other effects) being disabled or turned down to lower quality settings, then turned back on.
>>108341041(You) are the unreliable source, no one gives a shit about you.(You) don't even know the base settings (RTX OFF) of that video clip to draw any conclusions whether TAA is disabled or not.FYI, you couldn't disable TAA in IOI's Hitman series. This 007 game is based on that Hitman engine (Glacier).
how often should i be greasing the fans in my computer?
>>108341065Never if you own half-decent ones.
>>108340418I like the masterframe 600 a lot. Hoping it goes on big discount eventually so I can snag one.
My G502 X is settling down as one of the side buttons started double clicking after roughly 2 years of heavy usage. While I still have a normal, barely used G502 in my shelf, what other mice are worth considering?I do like the G502 X due to its low weight, with the only thing I dislike about it being the somewhat loud mouse wheel.
>>108341074could you recommend fans (case und cpu) that don't need greasing? thanks.
>>108341123any fluid dynamic bearing
Everything I want costs so much money :(
>>108341041>>ignore every game that has the ability to disable TAA (in the antialiasing and/or upscaling sections)Shows your ignorance. Those options are merely replacing the game's TAA algorithm with the upscaler's proprietary TAA algorithm.>Aside from TAA, modern games also comes with upscaling techniques, which has it's own version of TAA anti-aliasing, but also improves performance by reducing the game resolutions and makes smaller resolution image appear sharper through the use of image upscaling algorithmsThe Glacier Engine's TAA is just dogshit compared to the AI trained models released by GPU designers.
>>108340418>Nuclear Launch Detected
>>108341110Maybe the Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Mouse.It's lighter, but doesn't have infinite scrolling. The G502 X has more buttons overall.https://www.gloriousgaming.com/products/model-i-2-wireless-mouse
>>108341123Arctic P12 Pro or P14 Pro are affordable and decent if you're willing to cap the fan speed @ 800~900 RPM.These fans run loud past that point.Fans with more tolerable noise at faster speeds are generally costlier.Examples are be Quiet Silent Wings 4 & one of the Noctua G2 fans (120mm or 140mm).
>>108341438What's Pro about them?
>case has front 5.25" bays>they're behind a fucking door that I have to open to insert my usb sd card or optic disc and expose the gut noise to
>>108341123silent wings 4
>>108341502oh also>budget version of this case winds up being quieter somehow and has the front bays freely exposed for use while keeping front airflow silence
>>108340106>game devs simply do not give a shit any more and are forcing you to use RTThe devs aren't adding RT out of charity, it's about running a better business.RT helps reduce the man-hours spent on placing baked lighting & shadows.These games still have to look presentable on a Series S & PS5, but it's a low bar.https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/technology/stories/entries/Ray_Tracing/
>>108341469There's older Arctic P12 and P14 fans with a few design flaws that were addressed with the Pro versions, mostly the resonance (humming) issues.These Pro fans can also run at a higher RPMs, but it's not a practical feature because of the higher noise levels.
Should I be worried?Fuck me sideways. Can I just chill like that until replacement fan etc arrives?
>>108341565See if the latest display driver version (595.79) fixes the fan issue.>Can I just chill like that until replacement fan etc arrives?The GPU and memory chips have over temperature protections, so you're fine.You could lower the maximum power limit if you're concerned.

>>108341585keyboard seems a bit lazy but the GPU is gorgeous
>>108341565My friend’s old rtx 3070 is a dual fan design and one fan was broken for months maybe up to a year until he upgraded to a 4070Ti, and the 3070 was still working fine and that rtx 30-series were known to be a hot thermal mess of a gfx card.You’ll be fine until you can find a replacement fan imo.
>>108341577Well, I guess.What actually happened is that middle fan got loose, blades started scratching the case and eventually, with loud fucking noise, the fan flew out and got stuck like that. That motherfucker is deformed. I put it back, but it just repeated the whole ordeal.

>>108341937>hurr durr disabling TAA actually is just enabling a TAA that doesn't do anythingThere's no "Off" option in most of these titles retard.When you switch from TAA to DLSS/DLAA/FSR, you are changing the TAA algorithm from UE5/ game dev proprietary one to the GPU vendors'.This is why people wanted an RDR2 update with DLSS 3/4 support, which happened after NVIDIA officially supported DLSS model swaps.Quit being an embarrassment to yourself, go kys already.https://www.digitalfoundry.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2021-hitman-3-pc-optimised-settings-console-comparisons>>108341921If that's the best deal you can find, it's a massive improvement from your 580.

>>108342671>your guys mouseYour context was with VRR enabled.The only way VRR makes your mouse movement feel laggier is when you don't properly set an FPS limit to minimize your system latency.Use VRR correctly with a frame rate limit (manually or Reflex/Anti Lag 2 if supported), and there shouldn't be an increase in system latency to make your mouse movements feel more sluggish.NVIDIA's performance overlay can report render latency, system latency, and mouse latency to convince retards like you that these features work fine.Think like a human, not like a jit.

This be quiet! Pure Loop 3 280mm is actually stupid good.With my CPU under 90% load it's at 70C, with the fans only at 90%.This is 10C cooler than the Artic Freeze III Pro 280mm.I really need to not listen to Gamer Nexus anymore. Every time I've followed their advice it's gone badly.

>>108345407a claimed 13-15% gaming uplift + more estrogen cores thrown in for productivity + msrp at ~current street prices for the outgoing models is extremely compelling on the face of it. pessimistically i suspect their test suite to mostly be cherry picked examples based on APO shenanigans and different testbeds with the faster memory support but we'll see, the pricing seems great even if most of it is.i think intel was already a closer choice for anyone that doesn't strictly game on their PC than online discussion makes it seem so it wouldn't really take much improvement to at least be in the conversation again. wasn't expecting much until nova lake on that front.

By a pure stroke of luck, I managed to get my hands on a Ryzen 5800X3D for MSRP ($270). Local Best Buy had it WAY in the back of their locked CPU cabinet. Apparently it fell behind the shelf in such a way that it didn't fall all the way down so it's still sealed in box, it was just covered in dust. I have an ancient AM4 motherboard that I paired with an R5-1500X, so I jumped on the deal. What would you say is the cheapest buy most "capable" 1440p AMD Card you'd buy used these days? Would you say the RX 590 8GB is too old a card to get for budget level 1440p gaming?

I was testing the "What fan speed can I set it as to not hear it, and what thermals do that result in" and the answer is 88C, apparently. The gap between 420mm, 360mm and 280mm isn't that big, but ther is some. The bigger bottleneck in thermals is AMD's IHS design, the pump and coldplate arrangement and just liquid flow rate from the CPU block itself.
I want to play Stellar Blade and it's sequel, Granblue Relink, Monster Hunter and some other jrpgs (maybe Crimson Desert too) at 1440p. Is a 5070TI really worth the additional $250 over the 9070XT?

In one game GPU behaves pretty strangely. Basically it loads GPU only for 60-70% but temp goes above 80. But in other games load can be 80-90% but temp is 75 at worst.What can cause it?
>>108346502>I hear DLSS is just a lot better than FSR4way better might matter less at 1440pNight and day at 4K scaling
>>1083465025070 Ti isn't worth the $250 premium, that's questionable even with the higher end models like a Strix or a Vanguard.If you really want DLSS and don't want to deal with optiscaler, that's the price.
>>108346487pls respond
>>108346636> it loads GPU only for 60-70%if thats accurate at all it would mean a game is cpu boundthe sensors obviously tell the fans to run at max rpm to cool it down after some x temp threshold for both games, but the lower util gpu has to eat more watts doing so maybe it boosts clocks higher or something when the cpu is bottlenecking and theres idleness going on in the cores, idk
>>108346466these games aren't hard to run except for monster hunter which is trying to do a lot of optimization to get more players again before monster hunter at launch had absolutely retard shit like 4K textures on a fucking star anise https://80.lv/articles/star-anises-in-monster-hunter-wilds-originally-had-4k-level-textures

>>108346711I didn't see RT options at all. Does Ninja Gaiden 4 have it?
>>108346717cpu util tracker is very misleading since the game can only utilize 1 main thread and have a poor optimization for that 1 thread out of 16most games dont have high % and it dont tell you if the game has cpu bottlenecks, you need to test with different cpus and see if fps goes up

>>108347510yeah an intel with an igpu
>>108347430Yes you need a DP 2.1 Monitor and DP 2.1 automatically adds $300 to whatever monitor you buy for no reason You have to use HDMI if you want no DSC at 4K120Hz
>>108347511>So I need to find a good DisplayPort 2.1b cable.This is overkill for your monitor.If you upgrade your monitor, they will include a compatible UHBR20 cable if the display needs it.Some people say the UHBR20 cables bundled with new high refresh rate 4K monitors are on the shorter side though.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-mpg-322urx-qd-oled/2.htmlFocus on the rated maximum speed like 80Gbps for UHBR20 and 48Gbps for HDMI.Ultra96 cables aren't readily available or needed by most people, they debuted @ CES 2026.
New bread when you care to move over>>108347595>>108347595>but whydont reply to Canadians and we wouldn't have this problem
>>108347527>>108347536This stuff is all so much of a hassle, and so confusing. There is like no price difference between an the cables or types. But my monitor is 165Hz, and 4k.So HDMI 2.1b caps at 120hz 4k.Meaning, my best option would be DisplayPort 2.1b, even if it's overkill for the monitor, it at least supports 165Hz 4k to max out the monitor's stats.
