IT IS SO FUCKING OVER FOR GOYLSOPVIDIA FSR 4.0 ON RDNA 2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trn4p04w5nI
I got a giant piece of diamond in my FSR and another diamond in my pants.This thread rocks, unlike the other one made by the autist currytrans person.
You're all a bunch of unsociable pedofiles anyway, why did I even bother trying to be nice to you?
Shill spam that rdna 4 will not get next generations of fsr has been debunked by an actual AMD employee btw
What features will come on 9070 xt depends on is the hardware there for it, and is there not going to be any special accelerators in the next gen gpusif there isnt that would imply larger gap between amd and nvidia next gen
Hi, /pcbg/, my brother in law handed me down one of his old pcs. He said it stopped turning on and believes it needs a new power supply. I'm not tech savvy on this matter and asking for a little help.CPU is AMD 6300 GPU is Radeon 7800Can anyone recommend a power supply for this?
>>108361738first time visitors to this thread, beware of the noob trap called radeon. think thrice before buying an amd branded pcie graphics adapter
>>108361822the cpu is extremely shityou could in principle take the gpu and put that in a new pc to create a mid gaming pc but nows very expensive time to buy new mobo, ram, ssd etc. without cpu upgrade its overall pointless
>>108361822i hope this is not an fx 6300
>>108361785>You're all a bunch of unsociable pedofiles anyway, why did I even bother trying to be nice to you?>all he did is he made a flawed and opinionated fanboy thread reeking of an evil, hostile, capitalistic gooner aura.You couldn't even handle the simplest things. You reek of evil and wear the mark of the beast as picrel proves it.Today is friday the 13th. Evil spirits and souls will be manifesting negativity and bad energies around them. Be on guard my fellow anons. Evil spirits are going to be rampaging tonight. Have faith and do not falther! Resist the demons, they will try all kinds of dirty tricks tonight but we stand strong and united against the evil! Amen!
>>108361822any 500/600/650watt psu should work, but go buy a used one, because you might need proprietary cables that no longer exist.Also it could be the motherboard that died, not even the psu. Or the psu dying also killed the motherboard. If you have a spare psu to test with, or know someone who does, i'd use that first.
>>108361859Actually I was responding to the people saying "they hope I get scammed again" in response to the shit I have had to put up with on eBay.
my pc isnt getting as good of frames as it should be and idk what the issue is. ive confirmed all the usual. xmp is on at 3200. displayport in gpu. bios updated. graphics drivers updated. but for some reason i get suboptimal fps in games and get bad 1% lows. cpu is working at 4.9mhz speed. ram works at 3200mhz. gpu and cpu health is good no thermal throttling of any sort. cpu ring ratio is at 40. windows power scheduler set to high performance.my specs are:Intel Core i9-12900KMSI PRO B760-P WIFI DDR4aio cpu coolerzotac 5070ti sffwas on 64gb cl22 ddr4 ram but switched to my old 32g cl16 ram which kind of helped.alienware 1440p gsync monitorin games like csgo i get like 180-300 fps. cs2 its like 250-450 with a lot of fluctuations. fortnite is at like 140. tarkov is like 110.my buddy says i should be getting more frames and that he gets more than me with a 4060 and some okay amd cpu and from what i look up online it seems like i should be getting more. ive tried alot of settings and its only helpd by a little bit. any anons got tips on what i should do?
For some reason the RAM price increases has made people fucking retarded
>>108361859shilling abandonware >>108361834 is a pretty evil thing to do
Reminder to report and ignore bad faith posts such as>108361834>108361885For inciting brand warsHappy /pcbg/ everyone
>>108361875you obviously lose out on now having x3d cpu with ddr5 ramyou can use a gpu benchmark tool that allows you to compare directly with other people with same gpu, if you then get like 10% less score than others try DDU
>>108361875Have you tried matching settings with your buddy? Those fps seem fine to me.
GET THE MUSKETS LOADED! HIT THEM WITH THE CROSS-THREAD REPLIES! AYE AYE!>>108361871you are big gay.
>>108361913I think at this point we need to officially split /pcbg/ into /nvpcbg/ and /amdpcbg/ to fix the thread quality. The nvidia posters and amd posters cannot coexist anymore it's become so polarized that the first 200 replies of every thread is just brand wars. No one can actually get help building a pc here anymore.
>>108361935can't you just do this (officially or unofficially) on this board just by making the threads?
>>108361935Even if you did, the brandfagging autists would storm into each other's thread and shit it up because they had the audacity to use something different.
>>108361834pic related is hilarious in retrospect
I have an old 850W EVGA Supernova G3 purchased around its release date in 2017 (heavy usage, mostly gaming, since then). I was thinking of upgrading my graphics card to a 9070XT, but I know that PSUs degrade over time and that newer cards have bad transient spikes. Also iirc EVGA is dead now. Should I replace the old PSU for the 9070XT as well?
>>108361980you can be an obvious bullshitter wrong about everything for years and still have an audience if they like your lies
>>108361990only if it literally shuts off when you load your pc
>>108361980>>108361993his last good leaks were the raptorlake ones from 2021/2022. thats about it
i just tried booting my new AM5 pc for the first time and the yellow ram light has been on for 5 minutes with the fans spinning, is this normal?
>>108362025unless you have 192-256gb of ram, it should take 2 minutes tops
>>108362025yes, it's normal to have weird problems on unstable AMD hardware
i hope anyone who buys an nvidia gpu dies in a car crash where they are stuck in the vehicle and burn to death after the gas tank ignites and engulfs their shitbox in flames, then i hope that during their funeral their disgusting ghoulified burnt corpse falls out of the casket and their mother also dies from choking on her vomit she attempts to expel upon seeing thisthat's all
>>108362059cute and valid.
>>108362059why are all trans jokes about killing people
>>108361980its funny that the Njudean goyslaves who shill ITT, never bring this guy up, who is an unashamed ACTUAL AMD fanboy shill, but they're crap all over HWU+GamersNexus etc.And even then he covers Njudea news just fine, its his speculation on upcoming prices etc that are often (rightfully) negative about Njudea.

>>108362085he has a 4090 bruhhe aint shilling amd in good faith
>>108361990EVGA still make PSUs and theirs are amongst the best.Honestly i'd keep using it if you haven't changed anything else in your pc.>>108362025wait 10-15 minutes, if nothings happened, then restart and try again, the learning curve for ram on my x870 msi tomahawk was quite long aswell. But the last couple of bios updates fixed that just fine.

When will I be able to get a 2x upgrade over a 3060 Ti for $400? In 2030 or so?
>pcbgMore like rich people general rpgYou need a lotta money to buy PCs these days with skyrocketing RAM prices. + now the Iran oil crises also cause PCs need a lot of oil to run. It's like buying a car.
Reposting here cause I guess the other thread is dead.Is pic rel any good? I've never heard of this company, but some dude is selling a few used ram sticks for a good price.
Ok bros i took the RGB fan pill, but Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 doesn't have RGB fans.Do i just go with the Flow version and buy one extra fan on back or do i go the normal version and buy 6 separate RGB fans?
>>108362089>he doesn't count he's not a REAL shilllmfao, you are shameless, goyslave. >>108362128who knows? give it a try, depends on if your cpu is amd or not, intel cpus tend to be a bit more flexible in the range of ram sticks that will function on their rigs, their memory controllers have always been better.
>>108362128i'm guessing that's ddr4? i'd say it's good if it's at least 2x16gb of 3200cl16 or 3600cl18 ram

>>108362244This is a tough time to advice people on building or purchasing a pc.
I have a 5700X3D and a 16GB 9060XT. The cpu is unironically one of the best purchases I ever made, but the gpu has given me massive buyers remorse and I regret falling for it. Radeon is shit, simple as that.
Antec Flux vs Lain Li Lancool 207?Flux- wood looks nice207- built in gpu sag support- kinda boring looking- cable routing issues?- I like how the bottom fans are sunken into the psu "shroud" area, rather than just sitting on top like the fluxThey are almost exactly the same price in my country ($165 nzd = ~$95 usd, tax included). I'm leaning towards the 207 unless someone tells me the cable routing really is that bad.
>>108362244Does it have to be a prebuilt?You can probably save money and build a better pc if you shop around for deals (like a good cpu mobo ram combo), and buy a used 9070xt or 5070ti
>108362298You don't own a 9060 xt kill yourself nvidijeet stop making false flag posts

>>108362302Phanteks XT Pro
>>108362315No, even the 9060xt was painful to get since I am a poorfag. But I should have gotten a 5060ti at least, despite the premium.

I got a 14600K recently and while my computer's thankfully running, I'm also noticing that spicy bitch is just chilling at 100c when the computer's idle or when I'm doing some basic internet browsing. I haven't had too much time to fuck around with it because of work so I'll ask here.What kinda settings should I mess around with in the BIOS to help resolve it? I've set lite load to Mode 1 for right now and I already have the BIOS update for 13th/14th gen. It seems like the BIOS update changed a lot of shit and by default it made my 14600K set to Mode 18 for some reason, which was just insane.This is on an MSI B660 motherboard, so any help would be appreciated. I have a feeling it's definitely a BIOS setting I need to adjust to help calm this thing down.
>>108362357>>108362386This is not a gym issue, I already herniated my lumbar discs carrying stuff and doing sports years ago.
>>108362433Your CPU is cooking and you're thinking it's a BIOS issue?
>>108362454Well as long as you didn't drop the case then it's all good.
Oh, it's a copy pasta. Fuck me.
>>108362433Do you have a cooler attached with actual fans?
>>108362476It's copypasta, disregard the post.
>Now have to fork out an extra £100 for ramFuck my chungus life
>>108362459>>108362476
Okay, I can already see where the newer Pure Base 600 might have an acoustic advantage over the older Dark Base 900, the sound dampening material has a harder and different texture on this side panel. And the exposed metal and plastic for the fan mounts would need to be covered.
>>108362523That is unless that is butyl and not PU foam.
>>108362085>never bring this guy up, who is an unashamed ACTUAL AMD fanboy shillPeople call him a fraud all the time.You must have selective memory because even this ACTUAL AMD fanboy shill couldn't think of anything to defend your trash heap of a video card.
by 2030 AMD Radeon will only exist as iGPU.And eventually, Nvidia will replace those, too, with their Mediatek socsPretty ruthless by Nvidia, but honestly, Radeon deserves it. These jeet curryniggers are literally the most incompetent hardware company in existence.
>while nvidia makes ai drivers which is the most currynigger thing possible
please stop advertising in this thread. nobody cares.
>>108362596Nvidia is about to capture the iGPU market too with their RTX integrated graphics in Intel CPUs. It really is over for Radeon. I don't expect consoles to keep waiting on AMD either once they can get RTX tech in a SoC. The next gen will likely be the last console gen using AMD.
>>108362596Nvidia will let them exist in the console space as their pet to ward off antitrust lawsuits
>>108361822throw it into the trash, where it belongs.fucking poorfags gifting their trash away...
>>108361834>that picthe fact that intel has the feature, but Radeon doesn't really tells you all you have to know about this nigger company
>>108362622They won't because the console space is the path to accessible cloud gaming and also handhelds. Nvidia isn't forfeiting such a lucrative market for AI and cloud. We've already seen DLSS make waves on the Switch 2 despite having relatively garbage hardware capability.
AMD owners in the year 2026.
>>108361875are you using any hardware monitor while gaming to see if there's a bottleneck? is all of your RAM being recognized in Windows?
>>108362655unfortunately, DLSS on Switch 2 doesn't look better than FSR 1
>>108361935that wouldn't solve it. these are paid advertisers that would shit up each thread. if you don't give them (You)'s they don't get paid.
>>108362672An eye infection looks better than FSR1.
>>108362672It depends on the version. Switch 2 has 2 main DLSS modes with one being very lightweight for high framerate games and one with much better clarity but more demanding. And it's shown to be better than FSR 3 even at lower resolutions than for example an Xbox Series S version of a game running at 720p with FSR3.
>>108362635Because Intel was able to start with a clean slate when they were planning the feature set of their Arc GPUs.Their real work started after NVIDIA's Turing GPUs released in late 2018. RDNA3's MCM GPU R&D began around late 2017.It's too costly to make major chip design changes once development's started.AMD underestimated how quickly DLSS models would improve, because DLSS1 was genuinely atrocious.
>>108362115I'm optimistic about next generation being a good uplift from both companies. we should have the new hardware in late 2027.
remember a few weeks ago when AMD's head of FSR said FSR4 is basically dead but REDSTONE will be seeing future and future developments foreverAnd now what do we get? REDSTONE is abandoned as everything is moving onto FSR DIAMOND and RDNA4 will not be able to use any features in FSR DIAMONDBUY AMD GET RUSED FOREVER BUY AMD GET RAPED FOREVER
>>108362655Aslong as nvidia refuses to touch x86 production they'll be stuck handing chops to othe companies. Even amd doesn't actually bother in actual products.Both nvidia and amd rely on other companies to actually manufacture product using their chips. Same goes for sticking shit into consoles and calling it "nvidia" or "amd".
>>108361738I wanted a 4k blu ray movie collection but don't want to pay for overpriced movies, so I'm looking into just burning my own blu rays, buying blank cases and printing the covers myself. I can't seem to find the answer to one of my questions though, do I really need a 100GB BLURAY XL burner? Couldn't I just compress the movies and settle for 25gb discs? Obviously the quality would be lesser, but would it be that much of a difference?
>>108362351>hurting yourself lifting a computerhuh? are you a 90 lb woman(woman)?
I do actually feel pretty bad for people who bought 9070XTs now. At least with the 9060/XT you were getting something cheap and there was no expectation it'd last like 4 years.9070XT being EoL after like 2 is brutal.
I give up, the shills won, they can have their thread to advertise to each other, I have better things to do than read this shit.
Do I just the MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro or the M5 Max chip? I need some kind of balance between the battery life and performance, but I don't know which of these to choose. To be more specific, whenever Apple proposes two options of the chip for the Pro or the Max, I'm talking about the better option of two.
>>108362782What do you want us to do? Bury our heads in the sand and pretend the thing that just got announced didn't get announced?
>>108362786Do I *get
>>108362743you likely know how things are just buy the damn movie and run it until your kids tell this sucks so much i have seen this movie hundred times allready
>>108362720>nvidia refuses to touch x86 productionIt's not about NVIDIA's refusal, they want to make X86 CPUs.Good guys Intel & AMD wouldn't let NVIDIA join their exclusive club.To give you guys a little history lesson, AMD got access to Intel's x86 instruction set in 1982 because IBM demanded a second source supplier of these chips to keep Intel honest and spread their supply risk.
>>108362786macbooks are quiet fast now. you can probably save a lot of money buy buying a refurb device from apple directly. get something with 32gb of ram or more ideally.
>>108362302there's dozens of cool case designs out there, look at TRYX's mid tower options. Antec's cable management is great and i recommend their full tower.
>>108362743>do I really need a 100GB BLURAY XL burner?Hiw much data are you planning on archiving and for how long. M-disc says it's good for something like 1000 years so...
>>108362810Well I'm asking if I should choose the Mx Pro or the Mx Max chip.
why are american and british corpos moving to arm when the entire world is moving to risc-v?

This case is huge, I can see how they shrunk down the design for the Pure Base 600 later that year. Really wish I bought a Dark Rock Elite for 80 or so when I could for the bigger fans instead of the PS120.Welp, time to scrub it with alcohol and clean it just a bit before putting it to use. I can smell the deoderant and perfume on the metal.
>>108362834don't matter. get more ram. m1, m2 and m3 chips are still very fast but ram is the problem. i do 4k video editing on an m3 chip. it is more than fast enough.

>>108363034this may shock you but there are different compression rates
>>108363059why bother at all tho
>>108363056because I want a physical collection and my NAS is already dedicated to hosting roms/isos for emulation
>>108363042No need to be childish, Intel agreed to IBM's terms to share the x86 license to AMD because there was a lot of money to be made.That IBM deal was the biggest computing contract in history at the time.Microsoft's stolen DOS was also a contract work for IBM.

Fuck I hope all these unwanted attention with filler kits not going to ruin the extremely profitable fun I had the past 6 months. In the meantime let me tell you a story of me:The listing looked professional, clean, minimalist, and priced just high enough to avoid immediate suspicion. 'DDR5 High-Capacity Performance Kit: 128GB (2x64GB) Configuration Support.' I knew exactly who would click.First came the kids. Most of them had saved up birthday money or lawn-mowing cash for months, desperate to max out their first 'dream' builds. They’d tear open the sleek, holographic packaging with shaking hands, mesmerized by the heavy heatsinks and the vibrant RGB strips. What they didn't realize was that inside those premium aluminum shells sat nothing but inert plastic 'filler blocks' weighted with lead slugs to mimic the heft of high-density silicon. They weren't buying RAM; they were buying expensive glow-sticks.Then came the grandparents, the ones who just wanted to be the hero on the grandkid's birthday. I remember one message from an elderly woman asking if 'hundred twenty something giga-bite was enough for her grandson’s flight simulator.' I told her it was 'overkill in the best way possible.'She paid the premium, shipping included. I can still picture the scene: the kid opening the box, the grandfather hovering over the shoulder with a proud smile, and then the crushing silence when the BIOS screen stayed black, or worse, showed '0MB System Memory Detected.' By the time they realized the 'memory modules' didn't even have gold contact pins just painted plastic... another birthday ruined, another grandma breaking down in tears and I was already drafting the next fake listing for an 'RTX 5090 Unopened'...
1440p OLED or 4k IPS?
>>108363055I can't gurantee the last two, my big metal keyboard bore the same smell as this case and it came from a no doubt smelly gamer couple apartment.
>>108363296whats the usecase
>>108363322Gaming, sometimes work, but mostly gaming.
>>108363336wait for 5k ips from lg, oled is a meme with constant vrr flicker, not even considering burn in.
>>108362351Take the ITX pill, anon.>>108362743Take the SD pill, anon.
>>108363094LMFAO holy shit, i can't laugh too hard though, i sold this kit in march 2025 for like 60% of its value when it was unused. 24x48gigs 8000mhz ram, i can only imagine its value if i'd kept it for now.
>>108363336oled for mostly gaminga potential alternative is pulsar monitors if you want no burn in + best image clarity at lower fps than whats required for oled
>>108363373how much do you anons think this would have been worth if i'd kept it until today anons?
>>108363384It costs over $800 now, if you can find it in stock.The product code shows it's a 2x 24GB (48GB total) kit.
>>108363371>Take the SD pill, anon.no SD card reader
>>108363397bottom right you can find the specs next to the barcode.I cant actually find that model anywhere in australia where i live though, but whatever, i have my 64gig set of gskill and im happy.
>>108363415Yeh.. i use an external one, i use an external dvd player, too.But the SD reader is notably smaller, cheaper, and works better.For some reason my dvd player makes my shows look like ass, same as the dvd player on my laptop. I have to watch them on my gay station if i want them to actually look nice. not sure whats up with that.
>>108363195maybe he got it twisted and it's a 3600
>>108363450That product code on the bottom right of the package lists the total capacity of the kit.https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/memory/cmp48gx5m2x8000c38/dominator-titanium-rgb-2x24gb-ddr5-dram-8000mt-s-cl38-intel-xmp-memory-kit-cmp48gx5m2x8000c38

i7 10700k9070xt32gb ddr4 rammain monitor is 144 hz (asus vg249, 1080p)other one is 60hz (S220HQL, 1080p)i'm looking to drop my 60hz monitor, buy a 1440p monitor that's better performing than my 144hz and then make my 144hz the second monitor. My goal with a 1440p is to get something that allows my gpu to full use its capabilities, because being on 1080 kinda can bottleneck it for games. Any suggestions? My desk is 60 inches wide.
I thought my 9850X3D being 39c was good, but that's still over 102 AMERICA units. This shit is basically on fire.

What's the deal with these new ebay scams?Brand new accounts with zero rep posting shit like $400 RTX 5070 Tis. Obviously you aren't going to get a GPU if you order from them, but what's the point here? Ebay will quickly reverse the transaction and refund the buyers money, so what do the scammers gain, why are they bothering to do this?
LOL, what are the odds. I am going to mcfucking kill myself, I swear to god. I knew I shouldn't have trusted that idiot to have a nose capable of smelling anything to be my errand boy for this pickup, let alone resisting the urge to jump the gun when I told him not to.For the love of fucking god, only buy boxed cases from reputable retailers and do so in person. I can't even be pissed off anymore, I'm just disappointed, lmao.
>>108363863When you buy from eBay you give the seller your info and they use it for fraud
>>108364022what am I looking at here
>>108364104tar from cigs
>>108364104assuming cigarette smoke residue from the disgusting fuck he bought the used case from

>>108364114Even if you buy a case open box or from some smaller retailer, you have a 1/4 or 1/3 chance some subhuman who smokes every day will contaminate it by proximity to wherever it is stored depending on where you live. Not my money at least, lmao.
>>108364109could also be vape or e cigarettes
>>108364129might be good now since the zoomers vape nowadays
>>108364149i hope it's both. just because i hate bequiet.

>>108364150don't vapes leave residue? maybe it's not as bad as smoke residue

>>108364167>Should I delid my CPU?If you're going to water cool it. It's a “for the love of the game” thing, not a practical performance upgrade.There's been plenty of ppl who fucked up the delidding process, do plenty of research and have the proper tools.
Upon further IPA towel wipes, it might be a false alarm actually. Might. I think that might have just been me wiping the orange paint from the case, other wipes show only regular dust or possibly just black paint. I mean it didn't smell quite like tar to me, but who knows.I might just be accidentally stripping paint for all I know, in which case fuck but shit still has a noticeable scent to it, but again it smells more sweet like deoderant than tar. I have smelled it before on metal.
>>108364163you'd have to be actively blowing vape smoke out into the case. have to hand it to them - the inventors of the vape cut down on almost all the negative externalities of smoking while keeping the base concept of poisonous smoking sticks intact lol
>>108364163Glycerine can leave a residue which will attract dust but its not tar like real smoke.
Some very interesting oil spill iridescence to the rubber pads under the PSU, goes away with a single IPA wipe. I should perhaps take care not to strip paint cause for all I know they use some eco-friendly biodegradable stuff or IPA damp towels are just that strong somehow.
>I just spent $500-2000 on brand new hardware>let me ruin it by delidding, putting liquid metal, and water on it
Is the 9060xt 16gb worth an extra $150 over the b580?
>>108364308noyou should get 5070 instead
>>108364167Nah.If you wanted a delidded CPU, you should have bought one from ThermalGrizzly outright.
>>108364308Yes, but how much is the 5060ti 16gb
>>108364308Fuck no. Avoid 90XX right now.AMD has announced it's going to be discontinued soon and whilst it might still be okay, there's too much unknown right now.
>>108364301if you are going to do water cooling with a custom loop you might as well delid and put liquid metal or ptm7950 on it desu. i am just going to use air.
>>108364339>AMD has announced it's going to be discontinued soonWhere?
>>108364308if you have to think about it then no since they're not in the same price rangei bought mine for $425 USD converted to my currency and i'd kill to have a chance to buy the intel card at $250
>>1083643089060xt 16gb > everything elseit's going to be the new rx480/ rx 580
>>108364150The case is definitely no more than 5 years old seeing how the SW3's were made in 2020 if they are original, but that depends on the age of the clerk. If your seller is 35-50 you are probably fucked since 40% of people that age are daily smokers.
