reminder the 50 series can't do path tracing at all and will be obsolete next year by the next generation.
the 9070 xt is the best cost to performance card this generation, if you buy an overpriced 50 series card it will be worthless in 2027 because everything is moving towards path tracing you will regret it.

Everyone stopped worrying about the prices of DRAM once it became clear that the oil and gases used in various processes to produce that DRAM is going to cease to exist for the foreseeable future. If you didn't build a PC last year, you're never building a PC ever again except from salvaging PCs from abandoned homes during the upcoming World Resource Wars.

Genuine question, how well does RE9 run on the 5090 if you play on 4k with path tracing on native without any frame gen or anything? 125fps doesn't seem like much considering it's being upscaled and using framegen.

Why doesn't Intel do long platform cycles? They could Take back all of the marketshare if they did that.

>>108436787

That's what I expected. Intel CPUs have never really scaled that much with different ram speeds. And you won't have to deal with 15 minute memory training sessions on intel either.

>>108436638
I can't wait for next gen intel. I think it will be a real performer.

No, don't say stupid shit like that. I was the same way because anywhere you go you'll see retards telling you your cpu will explode or your gpu will melt. The PC community is a fear mongering mess.

It's been a long time since I've formatted any disk. I'm going to replace my current SSD with one of these in my windows 7 rig. From my understanding, these come 'pre-prepared' to mostly run on 10+ rigs so I need to download some program to restore the disk to default factory settings, and I should be good from there on, right?
Is there any "formatting for dummies" like a website or list or something to streamline the process (of formatting)? I'm just thinking out loud, like thinking of making a list of essential programs I need to redownload, redistributable files for vidya, etc. Thanks for any advice.

the 270k is a very good buy right now but since you framed it that way I expect nova lake to be such a step up that it's hard to flat out recommend. but as others said it's going to be a long wait so it'll be a personal preference thing.
that said if someone were building for the long term right now i'd have no reservations about recommending either of the new intel chips which is quite a change

IT'S SO FUCKING OVER AMD BROS
INTEL SELLS MORE CORE FOR LESS

>>108439368
the crazy thing is it's comparable in terms of gaming performance and then it shits all over the 9800x3d and even the 9950x3d in multi core lol

>>108439368
reminder that this is 4nm vs 3nm
intel has a considerable node advantage here and it's still unimpressive to buy into that socket that's living on borrowed time

it would matter even more than to have well tuned and running cpus out of the box to get some market share back. the cope of you can just tune it doesn't work since both companies want to make money and not cater to autists. both are after the plebs to make the most money to make better cpus to make even more money.

>why can amd make better cpus that work for everyone than intel then?
they can't, there's a significant difference on AMD from overclocking as well
but intel suffers particularly badly right now since they have really powerful cores with small caches so if you pair them with slow memory they can't reach their full potential
>it would matter even more than to have well tuned and running cpus out of the box to get some market share back
i agree with you
but they would need to ship overclocked RAM as well, with tight subtimings

Any opinions on this monitor?

$400 for a 32" 4k Mini-LED seems like a really good deal.
But I've been disappointed by Acer monitors more than once before.

I hate monitor shopping so much.

>>108439745
1152 dimming zones seems low for 32" that amount is already barely not enough for 27"

>>108439785
Just to add, especially since area grows as the square of distance, the area each miniled occupies grows disproportionaly larger than the screen's diagonal

>>108436799
AMD's processors have needed super high RAM speeds to work their best for years. It's not bad just because Intel is doing it now.

>>108439795
>>108439785
>1152 dimming zones seems low for 32"
That's what I was thinking, too.

But I really don't want to drop over 1,000$ on a new monitor.
My choices are between the 4k MiniLED and >>108439552, a 1440p OLED.

I have one 32 inch good OLED monitor already. But I want a second display that I won't have to worry about burn in with, for my daily computer stuff.

he is a CRT autist, watch a video on gsync pulsar.
Independant flip is unrelated but it matters if you are not on windows 11 because windows 11 made fullscreen optimization "better", it only matters if you run at a FPS higher than 500 I believe (aka esports), and on windows 10 you would disable fullscreen optimizations which makes alt-tabbing slow and breaks some overlays.
Yes 500hz would look a lot better than 60hz, but 60hz on a CRT looks similar to 120hz on a hold-sample display (ips/oled). And that makes sense because if you understood how motionblur reduction works (MBR/BFI), the shitty implementation just runs at 2x fps (there is also software for 360hz+ displays that tries to emulate rolling scan forgot the name but people notice flicker and it's ONLY for retro games that run at 60hz, running 360hz is better). So even though the fps is 60hz, the backlight is actually driving the display at a higher granularity (you would need a much higher FPS to emulate).
Gsync pulsar is new but MBR/BFI is old tech that works similarly enough (some displays have better implementations than others) but nobody turns it on because VRR wont work, and it usually makes the display dark. But gsync pulsar is only for nvidia gpu's and linux won't work but someone said you can boot into windows and restart into linux and it will work. There are zowie dyac monitors which are similar, but works with AMD / linux, but no VRR and brightness is lower, and it's a TN display, and it's 1080p not 1440p (and something about only the center of the screen is clear, not the top or bottom).

Okay, but the point I'm making is that if you're going to spend $1500 on a PC, you're not going to decide you'd rather not have a PC because 64GB is $800 and you can't possibly settle for a $400 32GB kit instead.

good idea to buy this from aliexpress? 350€ for a 9800x3d, shipped from france

>>108445369
i wouldn't. If you're trying to nickle and dime your system this badly that you're gonna risk giving money to a scammer, you shouldn't be looking at a flagship cpu like that to begin with.

Yeah, if you wanna.
We can be AliExpress 9800X3D buddies.
Mine came like this.

I got my 5700x3d from aliexpress.
Check the store has been around awhile and has a decent score.

Slut.

that's because you don't know how to read the chart, let me help you
the chart says:
"no one of these gpus can give you a good path tracing gaming experience therefore the most expensive card in the bunch is the worst one"
glad to help

btw just bought a 1200w psu for my 9070xt, my pee cee is finalized until they release the 7800x3d on am4

Will we truly not see the 6090 before 2028?

Anyone have any advice on how to get out this stripped screw on a mobo? For some reason all four screws on the cpu fan guards were stripped, and I was able to get all of them out but this one. I've tried everything barring just drilling straight through it which I'm concerned could destroy the mobo. Any advice would be greatly helpful.

you can probably tape everything up/ clean everything very well after (also remove the cmos battery) and just file a groove into the screw

>>108446250
it's pretty fucked up, might need to use a dremel

>>108446266
I dont know if I have enough clearance to do that, but this does seem like a good option? how would I best fully clean up to avoid a short once I boot it up?
>>108446271
would there be a risk from the vibrations using this would cause? for reference I have the CPU already installed and have had the computer just sitting with everything attached aside from the GPU for months

>>108446376
just leave it there then

>>108446384
I can't mount the CPU fan I have without removing this retarded plastic guard. I was already able to remove the part on the opposite side, as well as the other screw on the guard with the mega stripped screw

>>108446396
can you grab it with a plyer?

>>108446250

shape tool to screw find hard hot glue let it cool and try your luck

>>108446376
>how would I best fully clean up to avoid a short once I boot it up?
protect the cpu socket which is the most sensitive part. protect the pcie slots and ram slots. don't get anything into usb, nvme and sata ports. compressed air would be ideal but if you ground the mobo with a turned off psu you should be able to just use a vacuum cleaner (without a plastic nozzle) i think. also keep a good distance from the mobo if you use a vacuum cleaner. you can also use a magnet and a brush to get most off.

>>108446250
Can you not just remove the backplate?

Also if you have all your m.2 slots filled, usb networking adapters are fine for the internet.
If you have 10Gbps internet or something, you could technically use the m.2 slot for a 4x pcie device (but you need to read your mobo specs, it's possible that you lost your m.2 slot because you filled a certain pcie slot or some jank). It's also possible you have a thunderbolt 3 or something adapter for your brand (but they typically require the pcie slot, but like I said you can use the m.2 slot).
Pic unrelated, you must print it, chinese instructions, and I don't think you can just buy the chip presoldered from the printing site.
