Be careful! Paid shills are trying to promote the Chinese game "Crimson Desert".Be warned, the game has Denuevo, software known for destroying SSDs. Performance is an unknown quality, and it seems to struggle with AMD GPUs.Wait for official reviews that are relevant for your hardware, after actual buyers have had time to play the game and experience what issues the Denuvo Malware may present.

>>108378942not everybody wants to play cyberpunk with path tracing. some people just want to play esports or need a replacement display adapter for a low spec build. at those brackets you just pay the least amount of money.and the OP is retarded enough to recommend intel which is only for tinkerers with more time on their hands than they know what to do with, and performs like shit without a strong CPU pairing.
>>108378954what about Kingston 64GB (2 x 32GB) FURY Beast, DDR5 6000MHz, CL30 840 bucksvs Corsair 64GB (2 x 32GB) Vengeance, DDR5 6000MHz, CL40 770 bucks
>>108378940No, but I doubt you have many choices.
>>108378970The kingston ram on paper is a significant improvement for timings, but its your wallet anon. 6000mhz CL30 used to be the benchmark for the best ram you could pair with 9000series amd cpus.

Nice nvidia pc building general. Any people new to build pc's DO NOT use this thread. It is overrun with brand warriors and paid shills. Go to pc part picker forums, techpowerup forums and reddit for real advice
>>108379604I can see Pascal or Ampere but I find Turing hard to bleieve.
>>108379611no path tracing? Not futureproof
>>108379611also nvidia cucks you out of framegen and other stuff even though amd can run it
>>108379630I can use amd frame gen but then I can run into 10gb vram limitations, crashing and so on
>>108379611Well buy a 5080. 2 gen upgrades used to be the standard.
>>108379624
>>108379611Some Unreal games will also give you poorfag settings with no option to change it besides editing the engine.ini or spoofing as a 4090/5090 with optiscaler.
>>108379644impossible to justify since I can play all games with lowering settings3080 will last me until 60xx gpus come out
>>108379638ya but nvidia has their own framegen solution and its 4000/5000 only. im sure they could have made it work for 3000 but they gotta be assholes.
>>108379660NVIDIA are dicks AMD is the asshole.
>>108379668Fair enough.
Ray tracing is the biggest meme at the moment>Turn to look behind you>Watch the lighting rapidly shift over half a second as the rays populateWhen I turn to look at something, I should immediately see what it looks like. Until that's the case, ray tracing is unusably terrible.
any recommendations for disk storage i can't find anything in the op because i'm retarded
>>108379676Looks good to me, still get over 100FPS.
>>108379676Ray tracing is normalized and required. Path tracing is the new meme, and will soon be required.
>>108379676the temporal image construction elements only require a frame or two of past data to get decent, at 100 fps that takes 0.02 seconds. the problem wouild be camera cuts where you have zero fallbackthe scene with RT has to think about rays happening off screen also, I imagine that reduces visible artifacts turning a camera can cause
Reminder that rtx 3060 is all you needsame performance as the steam box gpusame ampere architecture as switch 2 gpustandard gpu for pc games next 5+ yearsevery single game you play will be made with this gpu in mindno need for anything better because rtx 3060 is the standard

We were all inexperienced once. But there is no excuses after that, do better, fat cases are a crutch.

>>108379592it's really shameful that fsr 4 doesn't run on rdna 2 and 3.but you should stop posting like a paid faggot.
cant someone just open these fsr/dlss dlls in a hex editor and ai magic code something better?
>>108379644because there used to be actual progress and you were being left behind by the rapid progress.shit has been stagnating. niggas still out here with 1060-6GB playing all the new games.
How do I set up a DC power supply?
>>108379829Are you saying people shouldn't know so they can make an informed decision?
>>108379834nvidia does the AI magic already using massive engineering resources and supercomputersno one has the resources to outdo them, amd is literally 5 years behind
>>108379686shit's expensive right now. storage isn't very exciting either.hdd for data hoarding, ssd for actual use.

>>108379844the dll is only 50mb. you make it sound like its gigabytes worth of data.
>>108379859Consoles textures look like a bucket of worms and run at 30fps upscaled from 720p. At least with a PC you have a choice.
>>108379696ok if ray tracing is already outdated, and no games use it, I guess it's safe to say that was a complete meme and all 80/90/titan buyers were retards.
>>108379861Ok what GPU should I buy that has any chance of future support and will be future compatible? I also want features that aren't ass like >>108378784.
>>108379872I said normalized and required not outdated retard.
>>108379862tis ultimately a pixel color predictor that takes in past few pixels historical color, motion vectors and poops out a prediction for that pixel, then it repeats that for 8mil more pixelstheres only so many different results you can have from limited number of mutable elements and it has pretty strict latency cost limit so you cant just process gigabytes of variables in that time
>>108379719For me, its the Densium 4. Can fit a 9060XT 16GB in it. Love the Velka 3 but you are limited to a single fan 5060 unless you import a single fan 5070 from China for £900 lol

(sandwich style, with psu below the sandwich)What i would like to see, and i believe would be more space effiecent, is a full sandwich; motherboard on one side, with gpu and psu both on the other side of it.Cases like the N10 do it, but very poorley, wasted space on all sides, resulting in 4.5L capacity, when they could easily be made smaller than the velka 3. stuff an ada 4000 in that bitch and be g2g.
>>108380052You went to the store to return your oled and you came back home with another oled
>>108380081The only Mini's they had that was comparable was 4k at a lower refreshrate. I personally value 480 hz at 1440p more right now.Going forward though I do agree my next actual upgrade is going be a mini 4k like 3 or 4 years from now.

>>108380329its legit, but no warranty
>>108380297What do you draw?
>>108380329These are tray CPU's they are 100% legit just lack warranty as the other anon said
>>108380297INNOCN should be okay, but the display settings will need calibrating.You will need a colorimeter to set color accurate profiles.Buying used colorimeters or refurbished ones by the manufacturer is an option.You can also rent it in the US if you live near one of the major cities.https://www.sharegrid.com/
>>108380329I did it on Black Friday myself.Was £275 for a 9800X3D and 2KG of PLA 3D Printer filament.Has worked fine since I got it. It's a bit sketch, but it's seemingly all genuine.
>>108380342Little bit of this and that, I picked it up as a hobby a year or so ago and have been mostly working in black and white, but want to work in color more and have some gift cards to burn.>>108380351Thanks anon, I was skeptical of that delta E out of the box
>>108380429Sweet. Thanks for sharing.
>>108380052Best buy monitor warranties don't cover accidental damage, otherwise every customer would smash their old ones before the warranty is up. You are genuinely lucky you were able to exchange it.
>>108379727Test
>>108379624I love how the name of the game now is to make Ray tracing look as bad as possible after building it up so much over the past few years.
>>108380642its almost always performance relatedif you force rt into a game to do basic things it has to be extremely light so shit pc's and consoles can run itmirrors specially get their quality dropped so installing those in a scene dont tank fpsPT meanwhile has the "you need 5090 to run it to begin with" so they increase quality for stuff
>>108380297>temptingyes because the quality of monitor is going to be questionable. Get it if there is an easy warranty return in your country
>>108380297get an Eizo instead

Where can I get a cheap 1TB SATA SSD? Which brands are reliable? I've had great luck with WD (Western Digital). And the same question but say a 5TB external HDD?Newegg my best bet?
>>108380984SATA SSD cost more than nvme right now. Good luck.
>>108380979Intel is obelisk, not the best but they are strong and tried and trueAMD is slifer, better but riskier playARM is ra, safe but the gayest play
>>108381047I enjoy staying on Win7 so it's whatever to me. The least of my concerns in these current times. Thank you for your well wishes.
Does a matte coating for an OLED have inherently better scratch resistance than glossy ones? I've used lick-wetted tissue to wipe off food speckles off my monitor before only to notice later when the screen is off / pure black that it left a bunch of paper scraps, but those always come off easily and cleanly with a very slightly damp microfiber. Then on further inspection the resulting screen surface is still fine. I'd like to imagine if I got a glossy instead I would be seeing some small sections of perma damage at this point.
>>108381100>lick-wetted tissue to wipe off food speckles off my monitor
>>108381170I do that too, its normalit'll leave a stain thats visible if you shine a light on it from the side but who cares
>>108381100matte has better scratch resistance but its not that much. i still prefer glossy qds they make the colors pop way more.
deal or no dealRyzen 9 9900XRTX 508032gb DDR52TB NVMeAbout $2500 with tax. Seems like a great deal, I don't think I could build anything equivalent for this price. Upgrading from a 2020 build with an RTX 3080. I think it's about time I upgrade, wish I had build a PC last year when it was cheaper, but it is what it is now and a pre-built is cheaper and my costco has these in stock now.
>>108381227yeah fuck matte
>>108381229It would be better with a 9850x3d.
>>108381235the purple tint is more noticeable, some people may not like it but i dont mind.
>>108381229Pretty good. 5080 alone is like half of that price.9900X is a bit of a shame versus the 9800X3D. But, it's not like it's going to be completely gimped for it, and it's a good price.
>>108381229Here's a bit cheaper option but with a 285k, which is a better cpu.
>>108381229AIO water coolers in prebuilts always break within two years.
>>108381282damn wtf happened to alienware's cool ass cases they used to make? this is what they do now, pretty fucking lame
>>108380429Would.
>>108381282What site is this from? I'm not seeing it on dell's site
>>108381307They needed airflow I guess.
>>108381229Might be all right to get if you're willing to swap the CPU out for a 9800x3d, 9850x3d, or 9950x3d. Or just don't care about the performance gains from those three. The 9900X does well with productivity/workstation tasks, so if you do that too it might be a good compromise.>>108381314It's microcenter.
>>108381314Microcenter. Hopefully it's withing a road t
>>108381321>>108381325>It's microcenter.Damn, ain't got those in Louisiana where I live, my costco has the MSI in stock though. I guess I could upgrade the CPU down the line at least.
Any recommended 32" 4k monitors for work and light gaming?looking at this: https://a.co/d/0385JvYs
>>108379703Lateposting, but I will tell you that you are correct. Use RT in 2077 and you will frequently see the light repopulating whenever you turn real hard into different lighting scenes. Turn PT on instead and that stops happening, or at least stops being humanly noticeable.
>>108381331I'm not sure about the newest Intels, but I'm sure it's not worth trying to make a trip to Microcenter.Also forgot to add, if you do plan to change the CPU, you most likely void any warranties on it.
>>108381355285k is better than a 9900X and the Aienware is cheaper. None of that maters if you spend $300 in gas getting there.
>>108381343PT has ray reconstruction which may impact things
asus rejected my claim for resident evil 9 when i bought something using the actual links on their promotion pageif I could petrol bomb a company then it would be ASUS, i fucking hate this shitty gook company
>>108381367Don't you mean it does matter since the savings is only $100 off? Also the time it takes to get there depending how far he is to the nearest one, which I assume is one of the Texas locations.
>>108381403did they give you an actual reply?you may have fucked up somehow
>>108381412I don't know. He can do the math.
>>108381403Just return the item or charge back your card.
>>108381413No but a reddit post says they don't accept promotions from their ASUS e-store, even though it's on the promotion page as accepted, and the links direct to it so logically people would assume that's the best way to get the redemption.I have e-mailed them basically saying I hope they go to hell and I will never buy an ASUS product again.I didn't do anything wrong with my submission.
>>108381428I bought via Paypal and paypal don't care either.Why don't I just set fire to myself honestly, the world clearly wants me to fucking die.
>>108381429Ive seen some local promotions and its always a set of stores that have it going on, with the list of applicable products.
>>108381438I'd still send it back. Paypal is shit. I never use them anymore.
>>108381439I ordered a "ROG-STRIX-1000P-GAMING" power supply, you can see it on the list of eligible products on the list here:https://promotion.asus.com/en/gb/resident-evil-requiemI ordered through ASUS's actual online store, you can't get more official than that.And they rejected my claim.So basically, I hope they get their offices set ablaze.
So I watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl8wXT8F3W4 and gen5 SSD are mostly irrelevant for games, but I've been out of the loop with gaming technology, what are the chances that games start wanting gen5 SSDs in the future?
Oh boy this turned up on my feed. If this guy in particular is using this kind of thumbnail when talking about ray regen you know its real bad. Even the diehards are wavering.
>>108381451
>>108381448Yeah, I'll go through my actual bank for everything when I can now.>Send it backI've used the power supply, even the stickers it came with, can't send it back now. I can't even say I'll never buy an ASUS product again, I fucking hate this, they're fucking with me.
>>108381458Yes and I bought via the ASUS UK eStore.
>>108381463I use a credit card. I tell them if they don't give me credit back they can float the bill as I won't pay off my debt. I really don't care. It's worked so far.
>>108381453>wantingNeverNo really, never. You load what you need into memory, not design a system where you want to rely on pulling from your NVME real fast to keep up with a game. Directstorage has its pitfalls with making the GPU work harder instead of the CPU when that is usually the harder worker of the two PC components.Extreme speed loading has been a disaster for loading screen infographics too.

>>108381489Thanks
>>108381478You might just have to keep hounding them about it. It's surprising after all this time asus still has the worst customer service out there and yet they are still around. You're basically playing Russian roulette with them. You'll get a seemingly good product from them, but if it's broken and you can't return it to the vendor then you're sol. I tried to RMA my 970 from them, and I never heard a word from them. Never got a word out of them, though I only did it once.
>>108381527just contact them again and resolve the issue except use sentences that improve your quality of life.
>>108381567I didn't even go to a good school so it's pretty much hopeless.
I think I experienced artifacting for the first time just now. Played Rust and some red line kept appearing in the middle of the screen, I tabbed out and it hasnt happened again. not sure if it was rust's shitty game bugging or my card is dyingBought it 3 months ago via Amazon. prob dont have warranty im guessing9070 xt btw, shouldve just gone nvidia
>>108381584Use the Radeon Adrenaline tool to downclock the GPU clock by -100 MHz or so.Some of these chips tend to boost too aggressively and cause artifacts or crashes.If you do some research, this has happened since RX 5700 XT (RDNA1), Radeon card owners aren't surprised with these troubleshooting tips anymore.AMD's official spec notes a 9070 XT boosts "up to 2970 MHz", AIBs might add a few MHz on their specific cards after validation.
I've got a 3090, what's a good CPU to upgrade to?My current PSU is 650W and my current CPU has 95W TDP, but I dunno how it's gonna handle those CPUs which are ridiculously power hungry, so I might need to upgrade my PSU as well.
>>108381615Should I "accept" this or just try to get warranty for a 5070 ti instead? Idk shit about artifacting, but if it's already happened, isnt it like already "broken"?
>>108380984SATA SSD manufacturing's been dwindling over time, you won't find cheap storage drive in general either.Samsung is probably the last high-end SATA SSD manufacturer left (870 EVO).
>>108381620It would be nice if we knew what your current CPU is rather than just the TDP.
>>108381620aliexpress 7800x3d are cheap on saleand there isnt really any good options besides that
>>108381503Wasn’t Asrock a budget version of Asus that eventually became independent so Asus has to keep their name on their own slop now? Anywho, just moved cases from a SAMA IM02 to this and wtf has it always been this easy to cable manage regular towers? I even have cable extensions tucked away since I’ve got an SF750 in there and the cables were too short. 5800x3d and 7800xt have got me through some tough times the past couple years :)
>>108381627An i5 2500k.
>>108381584The warranties are usually a year or so once you register the product. What manufacturer is it?Artifacting can be caused by software. If it's overheating you can solve this with fixing the airflow in your case along with undervolting it. I had a 970 that would artifact. I never really figured out what the sole reason was, just that if I left my PC on for too long, which was only about 2-3 days on average, it would start doing it. So I just had to start turning it off. Could have been overheating, or maybe something in it just didn't like staying on for too long. Could have been Windows 7 itself. Either I made it work until I upgraded.
>>108381637KekOld case, basically a hot box cooking my components. I think the summer heat killed my ram once I moved to the desert.
>>108381660thats like a case designed to kill ddr5 ram
>>108381622What is your card model? Even a reference grade Sapphire Pulse can sustain around 3 GHz average boost.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-9070-xt-pulse/42.htmlIf your card needs to boost under 2.9GHz to prevent artifacts, I'd be disappointed.>Idk shit about artifacting, but if it's already happened, isnt it like already "broken"?If the artifacts appear while the GPU is boosting at above 3 GHz, the boost algorithm is just too aggressive for your GPU bin.The chip isn't broken in this case. 5070 Ti is too pricey atm. RMA will probably send you a refurbished card.
>>108381637Can you actually put a 3090 into that cpu? I guess pcie hasn't really changed since then but I feel like the standards for it back then would be a limiting factor in itself. Like putting a flash drive with usb 3.2 speeds into a usb 1.0 slot. So it kind of sounds like it would be a good idea to upgrade your cpu and motherboard. But then you'd have to upgrade your ram, and even ddr4 is getting expensive. You'd want a new PSU now that I think about it. You might as well just make a whole new PC in this case.
Should we start recommending people buy a ps5 pro if they only want to game? With the current pricing the price/value has shifted so far against pc now.
>>108381667I do like my new case much better. Maybe if the old one could properly support a 240mm aio it could have been different
>>108381679a console doesnt really replace a pc for most people since they rarely just game
>>108381622Get OCCT and run the VRAM test, undo any video card overclocks & undervolts.If you get any errors, you should RMA it.
>>108381622memtest_vulkan is a more intense VRAM stress test than the one in OCCT.https://github.com/GpuZelenograd/memtest_vulkanIf your card fails either of these tests, it's RMA.
>>108381679You should check out the PSN game library
I want to get a 1440p monitor but ive heard its kinda shitty to watch anime on. Can the smart anons of /pcbg/ tell me if this true?
>>1083817131440p are typically 27" and youd have better media viewing experience on a 32" 4k, also it needs to be either miniled or oled to have decent contrast
>>108381542Some PC companies are in a spot where they routinely fuck over people but people keep buyingThey don't even try to look for the lesser evil, just continue buying Asus or whoever.I find it odd because with any other hobby, it seems really easy for people to admit that X company is garbage, but that type of stuff is almost ignored in the PC space.
>>108381713why would it be shitty
>>108381713I feel like I've seen this question before, and not sure if it's copypasta, but I'll answer anyway.I'm assuming it's because most anime is formatted to 1080p, at least until bluray rips become available. And then depending how old the anime is you might not even get that. So you'll either have to stretch it or deal with black bars. I'm pretty sure 1080p to 1440p shouldn't be too bad, but it might depend on the anime and what codecs are being used. I don't watch too much, never use fullscreen, and pretty much keep it windowed.You can always just keep your old 1080p monitor for anime. Or find a decent cheap TV and just hook your PC to that when you want to watch anime.
>>108380642RT was always slapping lipstick on the raster pig Path Tracing has always been the endgame
>>108381676Yup. It bottlenecks it, but it's still good enough for me to play any modern game like cyberpunk. Benchmarks put me around above average to the average PC.>So it kind of sounds like it would be a good idea to upgrade your cpu and motherboard.I've got a 32GB DDR5 stick that I bought when I saw the prices were rising since I was planning to upgrade soonish.
>>108381744Its really just a matter of how intense rt you're doingeven in PT games you cant get rid of raster elements that are the fallback option
>>108381726I don't know, I hear people always comment on how shitty Asus' customer service is a crap shoot still. And Asus has never had a reason to make it better as people are still buying their products. It could be a loud minority kind of deal, especially since it's one of those things people don't really care to tell you how great the service was because it's expected it would. It would be nice to see reports of people who did get through to Asus customer service and have a good experience.And it's not like we have much choices. It seems like they all pretty much are shitty in some way. I remember people being pissed at MSi some years ago, and yet they're still around. I even bought one of their motherboards. Even with a decent amount of companies, it seems like they're all in a good position to be able to fuck over customers if they feel like it. Sapphire and PowereColor might the only two I've never really heard people complain about, but I'm sure someone has.
>>108381749I was confused by the vram amount but apparently speccy is just garbage soft
>>108381736There are no black bars or stretch, they are both 16:9 resolution.
>>108381726>>108381751We keep buying the products because they don't fucking care about our emotions, they could take our money and just not ship an item out and be like "yeah well, we know better, fuck you"Because they are fucking losers
>>108381753I see that is the case with fullscreen, but I never use it. Windowed usually has some black bars, but it's probably not at the 16:9 resolution is why. Sounds like it shouldn't be an issue then.
>>108381717I have a 42” oled tv but i dont really like watching stuff on it i find it too big>>108381731Something about the image being softer because 1080p doesnt scale to 1440p>>108381736There was a thread on /a/ recently about resolutions and i saw ppl talk about it there maybe you saw it as well. I normally watch full screen, i guess ill just have to try it out and see i can always return the monitor
>>108381752Didn't notice that. Not the first time I've seen speccy being shit.
>>108381749Pretty nice then. Keep that pc around for other uses afterwards.>I've got a 32GB DDR5 stick that I bought when I saw the prices were rising since I was planning to upgrade soonish.Good deal. Since you got that you can just go to a 7800x3d, a 9800x3d/9850x3d or a 9950x3d. I don't know the Intel comparisons, someone else would have to tell you that.
>>108381672>>108381651Its a pulse>>108381696>>108381708Ty ill check it out later
>>108381774>There was a thread on /a/ recently about resolutions and i saw ppl talk about it there maybe you saw it as well. I normally watch full screen, i guess ill just have to try it out and see i can always return the monitorIt's probably some purist or audiophile like autism bullshit.
>>108381774No it looks sharp if you have a good scaling algorithm. Use RTX VSR or madvr.
>>108381791>pulseSapphire usually has a pretty good track record with their warranties from what I hear. Get the product registered on their website asap.
>>108381764And they can do it because people keep buying their products. Kind of like how GameFreak puts out subpar Pokemon games that break more than early access games, yet people keep buying them so they see no reason to up their game. If enough people actually stopped buying Asus and they heard the common reason was customer service, they would actually start putting in an effort. But alas.But honestly I don't expect much from most of the others these days either.
>>108381805I could always take the power supply I bought and throw it on the ground if they don't honor the redemption offer.
>>108381834Just sell it to someone else at a small loss. Isn't the UK suppose to have pretty good consumer laws?
>>108381840I'd like to just do the same to ASUS, make them see how it feels, yes the UK is good with consumer laws, but you do have to spend months getting justice.
>>108381784Thanks. Haven't thought much about what I'm gonna do with it afterward.
>>108381853Next time don't buy from any of these companies directly. Buy from a third party seller, they'll usually have better return policies. But according to Asus' website, you can still return it even if it's opened. You'll still get fucked and have to give them a few more gibs which would come out of your refund.
>>108381858A small server might be a good idea. Or use it as your multimedia box hooked up to a TV.
>>108381894I'm not returning it, they owe me the game, I followed their promotion and they know I did
There's an old saying. You can shit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up faster.
Speaking of codes, when do the Crimson Desert ones come out? The game is coming out in 3 days!
>>108380597Then whats even the point of a warranty though. If if suffers an actual tech issue the manufacturer is going take care of it
>>108382010Usually for defects that the customer couldn't control. Like if you got it and half the screen didn't even work, or stopped working after a month, or turned you into a homosexual. It's like he said, if it covered accidental damage, then a lot of customers would suddenly have "accidental" damage near the end of the warranty period.

i wish i had a 5090 im so tired of being poor
>>108382250>>108382273Use another program for a 2nd opinion like he said. For 990s in general however a 50+ idle temp is normal. If that reading is any indication of accuracy then the 80+ is indicating overheating.
>>108378772I understand investing money to Workstation because it is tool (workhorse) which generate money But I never Understand urge to invest insane money into Gaming Machine when you can have sufficient gaming experience on Gaming Laptop for 700 - 1200 € $ Even that is too much just for gaming. Like invest 3500+$ into computer which next year need to be replaced due Gamer mindset .....Understand it is positive for chip makers but............!!!!
>>108382250why are worried about this 7500 hours into its life?
>>108382281Do not worry those who have 5090 are in most cases more Poor than You are.
>>108382273I have swapped out the thermal pad for a new one too on the heatsink that came with the mobo and even recently did a case swap (h3 flow) to a conventional tower and AIO to get the heat away from the SSD. >>108382293it has 2 sensors, one shows 50+c and the second 80+c and what other programs are there that I could use? My other m.2 shows 50c too but doesn't have a sensor 1 to show the controllers temp. >>108382314Honestly, that sounded rude but it definitely made me realize I probably dont have anything to worry about lmao u right my niggaheres my first ever aio inside an sff case for your troubles

The tendency of Pascal holdouts to upgrade to RDNA4 needs to be studied. Blackwell is right there and supports modern AI upscaling, why go for AMD's DoA garbage?>muh native reznot even a factor of consideration for game devs in 2026, they want you to use DLSS or FSR and framegen

>>108382659waitfagging doesnt pay off so buy anything you need ASAP while they're still available, things could always get much worse.ram price could be fixed after 3 years, who knows
>>108382659If the first card you casually consider is a 5080 then you clearly have money to blow and it really shouldn't be that bad for you. Jump down one step to a 70 Ti if money is actually an object for you.

If they bring back the 3060ti for ~$300 that would actually be the card to get at that price point which is grim

Posted on ASUSs reddit megathread about the Resident Evil 9 Requiem promotion ssue.E-mailed ASUS customer support about the promotionCalled up ASUS customer support (actually got on the phone to somebody immediately) and told them about itIf they don't honor this I am never buying a dogshit product from them again.
>>108383051I got Borderlands 4 from my Nvidia RTX promotion thing last year.

how do i overclock
>>108383133provide enough cooling and your CPU will boost past it's rated clocks all on it's own until it hits 90C
>>108383133https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8McDKZ7PvFc
>>108383133just download the software and click run
>>108383149I heard that this is basically fucked, when you use automatic overclock profiles they just raise the voltage limits massively and your shit burns out within 2 years
>>108383124Conventional wisdom in my time always had it that you want to avoid DRAMless SSDs no matter what.
>>108383168>download afterburner>don't touch voltage or power settings>increase GPU clock by 25 mhz>stress test>repeat until you find a stable setting>repeat for Memory clock but by 50 mhz>profit or just copy a known good overclock and copy their settings, stress test, reduce by 25 or 50 if unstable, etc.
>>108383188What if my GPU is one of those "OC" cards out of the boxIs that just marketing or is this stuff already actually overclocked like for real
Is there any way I can deshroud a blower GPU to use axial fans? I have an old Quadro GPU but unless I can somehow line my case with foam or butyl the idle fan noise is really annoying.
>>108383186Modern DRAMless like the Samsung 990 Evo Plus (pic related) have a whole bunch of pseudo-SLC cache which, if not full, allows for the rated 7250/6300 mb/s transfers.If you fill it all up by transferring in a MASSIVE folder of 500gb's worth of 8K video files or something, then after about it's halfway done the speed will plummet down to ~1800 mb/s, because that's the "real" speed of the drive when not helped out by the cache.After being filled up, the cache will get "folded" at 1500mb/s, meaning after a few minutes of rest the drive will be up to speed again, because the data will have moved out of the cache and into permanent storage.Even at it's MINIMUM 1800mb/s speed the 990 Evo Plus is 3x faster than any SATA SSD no matter how high end it's DRAM cache is.>TLDR: DRAM don't matter for 99% of people.
>>108383196OC cards are preloaded with a vbios that has higher default power limits and have a slight overclock over the non OC version.
>>108383200Technically yes, you just remove the cooler, strip it down to the actual board, and jerry-rig something with your own thermal pads, heatsinks etc, the one issue is a mounting plate,
>>108383196they have like 25 or 50 mhz over stock from the factoryif you're on Nvidia their drivers also have an "Auto Tuning" setting which takes like 20 minutes or something to scan your PC an apply a tiny safe overclock like +50 on core and +150 on memory, which is probably negligible, but safe enough that Nvidia officially enables it on their softwareidk if AMD has this nowadays, my newest Radeon is a Polaris card and I use it on a second Linux PC
>>108383250thats awesome
>>108383196Basically all non-reference graphics cards these days run slightly faster than the reference model by default so they can put OC on the box. It's technically not a lie but it can range from basically insignificant on entry level models to actually meaningful on beefy high-end cards. There's pretty much always room for additional, user-configured OC because even high end cards stay within limits that are guaranteed to work with any on-spec chip and your individual GPU will most likely tolerate higher clocks.

Aside from the ASRock situation it seems to me from what I understand that the x3d are pushed hard from the factory and get cooked by the default settings on many mobos which push too much voltage on auto. So if you keep up on your bios updates and underclock you should be fine? Yet there's rumours of bad batches from AMD and that the CPUs themselves have issues. Last PC I built had a i5-4690k.
>>108383661you got a nvidia gpu?
>>108383683No, AMD 6800
>>108383720would try a different port
>>108383649might be able to find it in your email. i have a newegg confirmation from 2009 sitting in mine
>>108383731wish I didn't delete all my older emails years ago, did it because gmail was running out of space and I'm not paying google for more lol
>>108383661that monitor might be dying
>4700 us dollars for a 5090 (before tax)>if anything cheaper appears it's instantly fucking gonecan't believe I'm fucking considering it but at this point either I'll pull the trigger or fuck off for the next 4 years
>>108383680just make sure your bios is up to date and you dont reapply old profiles. most people fuck up the two.
>>108383925that kind of money would have gotten you a special edition 5090 matrix or 5090 lightning z if you had purchased at the right timesince your getting massively FUCKED anyway, just pay slightly more for an rtx pro 6000 tbqh. at least its 96gb vram will give it lasting resell value
>>108383925- Used 4090 ?- 5070 Ti ?
>>108383937
>>108383937>>1083839504090 or 5070ti aren't for VR and that's what I'm aiming for (wanna play modded single player games)
>>108383925just wait for 6000 series6070 = 5090
>>108383955hey, it's only 30% marked up, not 150% marked up like the 5090 is
>>108383964waiting for the 6000 series is fucking off for the next 4 years, more or less
>>108383977buy a 5070 then5070 = 4090
the 6000 series is going to be insane albeithoughearmark money and save up and go big dick 6090 when it finally comes out
>>108383982Not good enough for VR. Though I am considering a 5080, working with VR for that and then upgrading to 6000 once it comes out.
>>108383991i ran half life alyx just fine on a reverb g2 (4320 x 2160) with a 7900gre and a 4070
>>108384002I want Cyberpunk 2077 on a Pimax, probably Ace Combat 7 (and 8 once it comes out). And the Resident Evil remakes in first person.
>>108384011>Pimax>somebody actually bought that thing
>>108383964You are high. 6080 won't even touch the 5090. It might squeak by the 4090.
>>1083841475070 = 4090 so 6070 = 5090
Which RX 9070 XT do i pick?Asus Prime + TUF Gaming 750G combo for 700orHellhound for 700 bucksorRed Devil for 750 bucks?
>>108384160The 5080 overclocked isn't even as good as a 4090, and the 5080 is a beast for overclocking.
Im not sure what people are confused by>nvidia makes big chip on tsmc 4nm>nvidia makes a small chip on tsmc 4nm>the small chip isnt even better than the big chip while costing less, what on earth?
>>108384175someone disagrees with you
>>108384202Ok you were being satirical. I don't think anyone believed that slide show.
>>108384223i am serious
>>108384023You suggest against it?
>>108384247if the steam frame was already out i would first get one myself and then tell everyone else to also get one andlaugh at them when they are all sold out. it's basically a wireless index + reverb g2. friend of mine has an index and it just works. a wireless version with a higher res would be perfect + no extra software to get it to work.
>>108384239Just wait till you learn about 6x frame gen. It will blow your mind.
>>108384280So if I were to just go for a used 4090 or just buy a 5080 and then buy a weaker headset, would that not be a good idea instead?Shit, I can always buy a 6000 series later and upgrade.
>>108384289that is what i am planning to do.works and is supported - having to get everything to work all the time > higher res vr headset
>>108384289>>108384299+ look how short it is. so much less weight on your face.
>>108384165I'm biased towards sapphire and powercolor when shopping AMD.you're mostly buying different AIB brands of the same GPUs for their price and/or looks.
>>108384165got a hellhound. it's good. if you want one of the best 9070xt get a red devil. don't get a prime unless you want a psu and can tolerate the noise it makes (gpu not psu).
>>108384337how noisy is hellhound? the [spoiler]red stone on red devil kinda triggers me off[/spoiler] but i wouldl ike a quiet and cool gpu
>>108384337>>108384356also any psu recommendation for hellhound?
What do you guys think of the Movespeed Black Panther (gen4 Chinese SSD from aliexpress)? Cause SSD prices are fucking outrageous.My main concern was low quality NAND, but this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFPIrtPCtZ4 tested the 512GB model to over 8000TBW and it still kept going keeping up with the Samsung 990 Pro + they have a 5 year warranty. NAND and Controller seem to be MAP1602 + YMTC 232-Layer TLC similar to another chinese SSD that I've seen people test and get good performance (Kootion X16) and from the tests like the above and the other few videos and benchmarks around they seem to have pretty good performance with the only downside being the lack of DRAM (which their gen5 does have, and it did have performance on par with the crucial T705 Pro according to the test the same guy I linked did, but I don't think I want to spend the extra).
560Ti vs HD 5770 for a Windows XP gaming PC? Which one should I get? If I remember correctly the Radeon drivers back in the XP era were a mess but I want to dual boot Linux on the same system and Radeon works better on it.
>>108384391why go for budget cards if you're going out of your way to buy legacy hardware like that? they can't cost more than $10 just buy both.
>>108384404???They go from 20 to 30 bucks each on ebay and fb marketplace >why go for budget cards I want something cool (as in wattage), sure I could go for a 580 or 6870 for like 10 bucks more but they draw like a 100w more.
>>108384356>>108384359it's definitely quieter than the prime and swift from xfx. some get unlucky and get a card with a lot of coil whine (like me with my swift (which was also very loud on its own) before i replaced it with a hellhound). friend of mine got a prime very early on and it's kinda loud but not so bad if you use headphones. i run a seasonic g12 750w with my hellhound because it came with my pc and is alright. would go for a 850w with the red devil but 750w is enough with the hellhound if you run it as is. i also didn't like the stone and i liked how the hellhound has dual bios and a switch for that one led it has. i am running it with a 7800x3d which doesn't pull that much power for what it is. the hellhound has a silent bios which i haven't used yet. it also has six heatpipes which most "budget" (the reaper and prime are really budget) 9070 xt don't have.>>108384391/fwt/ also http://wp.xin.at/archives/5616
>>108384359You don't need anything more than an 850W PSU.You can get away with 750W, but the prices are usually similar.Montech Century II is the quality/value pick in the US. Cost difference between the 850 and 1050W model isn't that big either.https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sqbypg/montech-century-ii-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-century-ii-850whttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/yJkqqs/montech-century-ii-1050-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-century-ii-1050w
>>108384432won't they only draw more power if you push higher quality/fps? so just set fps limits?pretty sure msi afterburner existed back then too, you can power limit them.
>>108381775Speccy has had dementia for years, much like the boomers still using it
>>108378772>AVOID AMD: Due to current RDNA support ending, 90XX cards are considered EoL and cannot be recommended.tl;dr on this? i was thinking of getting a 9060 xt

>>108384444Also from what I have read in vogons, XP era games aren't too keen to GPUs with more than 1GB or VRAM. I think I get an HD6870 instead.
Meanwhile AM4 users are going to be shelling out $300-$400 on a 5950X or 5800X3D...
>>108383219What about SATA SSDs?
>>108384506they moved servers to AM5. you need to get over it.
Redstone is over. Diamond is the new wave.
>>108384506amd themselves said they're def doing am4 cpus againpeople didnt just invent the idea because it'd be nice
>SSD prices are STILL going up for the entry levelFUUUUUUUUU WHY DIDN'T I BUY ONE 2 WEEKS AGO FOR THAT OLD COMPUTER
>>108384525aren't there like fake diamonds that are clearer and cheaper than real ones?
>>108383219>plummet down to ~1800 mb/s,THE HORROR kek>Even at it's MINIMUM 1800mb/s speed the 990 Evo Plus is 3x faster than any SATA SSD no matter how high end it's DRAM cache is.The SATA slurpers need to give it up already they have zero use today they aren't even cheaper. Cases don't even need to include the drive bays for them.

Corsair RM850x still best PSU?
>>108384639It's still good, was never the best.
>>108384663what about be quiet! Pure Power 12 M to compare
>>108384687RM850x should be better, some ppl complain about be Quiet PSU's shorter & rigid cables in general.https://hwbusters.com/psus/corsair-rm850x-atx-v3-1-psu-review/https://hwbusters.com/psus/be-quiet-pure-power-12-m-850w-psu-review/
>>108384589why don't they compare 9070 xt to 5070 ti?
>>108384500Get the 560Ti bro or you will regret it, ATI/AMD XP drivers were cursed.
>>108380642>what do you MEAN technology improves and comparisons change over timeRT hit the wall in terms of potential quality as regards real-time rendering and that means newer real-time tech aka path tracing is the new path. It's no different from how per-pixel lighting was compared against vertex lighting, which was previously compared against sector lighting.
make a new thread you pigs. make it pro intel... JK nobody is an intel fanboy lmao
>>108384784nothing ever used ray tracing and it wasn't mandatory in anything. what a meme tech.
>>108384603>Nvidia GTC is a global artificial intelligence conferencewow. cool
Nicotroon's mindblasted after that DigitalFoundry video exposed RX 9000 cards in "muh AMD sponsored" Korean-jank Crimson Niggers.
>>108384826>>108384727
>>108384820https://videocardz.com/newz/geforce-team-says-jensen-will-showcase-future-of-real-time-rendering-at-gtc-2026this one is for gamers
>>108384826its kinda funny since almost no one is going to run the game at max rt to make use of RR since it runs at 40 fpsbut people keep doomposting about it like its a real issue
>>108384826do niggas really zoom in like this and look for shit like this
>>108384838The real issuei is that is a flawed tech as it does not upscale the rays and has a heavy performance cost 25% on the 9070 xt while RR its around 10%, then you add the fact that even on a 1/16 ray aymd game you hitting 40 fps at fsr performance at 4k and you get a full picture of how RDNA 4 will age when next gen games are released, especially because the 5080 is 40% faster than it, which means that even the 5070 TI has a solid 25% lead (the 5080 is 15% faster trhan it)
>>108384833The image isn't comparing FPS, static scenes will render the same between a 5070 Ti and 5080.>>108384838>>108384847There's over 20% FPS penalty for turning on Ray Regeneration on RX 9070 XT.
>>108384853https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-fsr-4-redstone/7.htmlfunnily that review said its an advantage amd RR doesnt upscale>Ray Regeneration is another strong addition. It doesn't radically change how ray-traced reflections or lighting look in a single screenshot, but it noticeably improves resolution, stability and reduces noise, which matters a lot once you start combining ray tracing with upscaling and frame generation. The performance cost is minimal, so there's no reason not to enable it in supported games. I also like that AMD's Ray Regeneration works completely independently of upscaling, whereas NVIDIA's Ray Reconstruction forces you to turn on DLSS Upscaling before you can use it. AMD's approach gives both developers and players much more flexibility in how they structure their rendering pipeline. The biggest problem here is game support—at this time just a single game is supported
>>108384808>outright lying as a cope
>>108384864>AMD's approach gives both developers and players much more flexibility in how they structure their rendering pipeline. Ray regeneration is only as good as the game devs' willingness to properly implement it.The game developer has to manually ensure that the denoised output correctly feeds into the next stage of the engine.Crimson Niggers devs did a bad job at it.
>>108384882Did they? AMD RR is still way better than the standard denoiser that seems botched in comparison with zero shading in areas where you expect it. The bigger issue is the fps cost while not being as good as nvidia.
>>108384882Not really the reason that the review said that was that it was done on COD which was only doing reflections, most of the performance cost comes from tracing bounes from light sources which it didnt have so any assumption about performance was foolish at best and deceptive at worst,
>>108384892You're seeing the pixelated, "boiling" artifacts in Crimson Niggers with Radeon Ray Regeneration on because the motion vectors or depth buffers are imperfectly aligned between the denoiser and the upscaler,
>>108384898>Not reallyYes, really.https://gpuopen.com/manuals/fsr_sdk/techniques/denoising/
>>108384905I dont remember that stuff from DF video but I wouldnt be surprised if the lower quality relates to RR not being performant enough so they fixed it by increasing some upscaling ratio.
i took the mATX pill
>>108384922there are atx cases with less volume than this one. you are retarded.
>>108384911Anon that post literally proved my point, read it, you can literally see why the frametimes are bad and amd is garbage and the only reason it was performantive on cod was that it was only doing reflections (only needed a few signals)
>>108384922>pc on desk>front usb connectors at the bottom>no monitor armgrossyou know that space the pc is taking? You can place a bigger mouse mat there and actually use it
>>108384934My post is about why it looks like dogshit, and none of your replies explained that.
>>108384941>The real issuei is that is a flawed tech as it does not upscale the raysdid you miss that retardgod
>>108384944I was replying to this post, >>108384864Shithead. Nowhere does it say it's a flawed tech.Stay out of conversations if you're too retarded to stay on topic.
>>108384932>>108384937its from reddit but yeah im taking that phantek pilleven mr matty lee said its the case of the year
>>108384953you're arguing with a shitskin that's paid to advertise one product and slander another. you're expecting too much.
>>108384953I literally told you, retard that the issue is not on devs, is the tech that is flawed and the retarded link you posted explicitly said so,
>>108384969Retarded devs failing to implement FSR denoising properly is a PEBKAC.NVIDIA's implementation basically enforces upscaling training wheels.You see how bad NVIDIA's implementation is given there's no Ray Reconstruction compatible with DLSS 4.5 models yet.I am right, you are wrong.
>>108384992It has nothign to do with training you moron, it has to do with how much frametime it takes for the denoiser to clean up signals, You cant possibly clean up that mess with that cost, because the upscalers simply has not enough information to work with
>>108385017NVIDIA's Ray Reconstruction being bound with a specific upscaling model is the reaason why GeForce card owners are stuck with Preset K and other DLSS 4.0 models when the new M and L are available.You keep arguing about muh frame time while missing the bigger picture.FSR's Ray Reconstruction would allow users to seamlesssly combine RR + the newest upscaler model in the future.The bottleneck for FSR is the game devs, this is the better implementation.Now shut the fuck up.
>>108384992>>108385040DLSS 4.5 unironically works better without denoising https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH599M-J6Hg You are unironically a midwit, you can see it on any game when you turn off the denoiser
>>108385045Look at this seething fruitcake, suddenly path tracing doesn't matter when it depends on Ray Reconstruction enabled?
>>108385050it never depended on ray reconstruction, it depended on the capability of your GPU to denoise and reconstruct rays are lower resolution AKA upscaling, the issue is that AMD cant properly upscale all the signals so it only separates the ones that is capable to do because its has no dedicated RT hardware, you are just a midwit
>>108385059>it never depended on ray reconstructionYou are arguing against NVIDIA's own materials.>Portal with RTX is a great example of Ray Reconstruction in action. With DLSS OFF, the denoiser struggles to reconstruct the dynamic shadowing alongside the moving fan.>With DLSS 3.5 and Ray Reconstruction enabled, the denoiser is trained on AI and recognizes certain patterns associated with shadows and keeps the image stable, accumulating accurate pixels while blending neighboring pixels to generate high-quality reflections.https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/ai-decoded-ray-reconstruction/You are the midwit who doesn't even understand the NVIDIA tech you're shilling.
I get nervous with the plastic hookd on case panels, I worry they will either snap from fatigue or go flying and get broken or scratched up half of the time.
>>108385083Anon DLSS preset 4.5 L and M are literally called RRLite at driver level,, as i said you are just a midwit, RR is just an upscaler, denosiing is mostly upscaling, you are just a fucking idiot
>>108385105What it says at the driver level is meaningless to what's available to customers atm.When you enable Ray Reconstruction, NVIDIA's drivers defaults to the older compatible DLSS models.RE9 with PT + Ray Reconstruction defaults to Preset K, not the newer DLSS models because Ray Reconstruction is bound to the older upscalers.You are the fucking idiot. Kill yourself.
>>108385116Anon please stop embarassing yourself and search what do denoising do
>>108385124You are the one who needs to stop being an embarrassment.Stop bringing up shit that literally doesn't work on NVIDIA's latest official drivers and NVIDIA App, the way NVIDIA intended their customers to use their GPUs.
