>>108455970>2026>AMD cards still has driver software issuesSomethings never change.
>>108456583there's a reason for it
>>108456050>bought second hand gpu (with no warranty)This is a classic scam that preys on budget-conscious users. That GPU has most likely been used for cryptocurrency mining for years.Remember: no warranty, no purchase.
is 1440p 27" 260hz the sweetspotvery cheap slopdon't have a monitor still, no side monitor eitherdo I need more
>>108456669The 5070ti hasn't even been out for years. It came out February 20 2025. It's at most 1yo. And gpu crypto mining fad stopped like 4 years ago. People buy asic machines for mining. It's just a lemon somebody pawned off on him.
>>108456672That's fine for SDR, and don't use it in a dark room.
is this really the best budget 1440p monitor
>>108455970I regret upgrading to 32gb RAM. I should go to 64gb instead. Should i cave in with overpriced RAM, pcbg bros ??
>>108456941It's probably the safest entry-level miniLED in terms of what to expect.Q27G40XMN is a DisplayPort 1.2 monitor (refresh rate limited to 120 Hz @ 10-bit HDR), and there might be a firmware lottery involved to get the best HDR image quality (some units present poor image quality with DisplayHDR mode + Strong Local Dimming option enabled).
>>108455970>Did you know the Core Ultra 270K was designed in India?fact check:(ai)No, the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus was not designed in India. The processor is part of Intel's Arrow Lake Refresh series and was developed by Intel, a U.S.-based company. While the physical manufacturing involves TSMC fabs and the packaging uses Intel's Foveros 3D technology, there is no evidence in the available search context to suggest that the design or engineering of the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus was conducted in India. The chip is listed as being sold by retailers in India, but this reflects distribution rather than the location of its design.

>>108455970It is good that Nvidia Fan boys keep Nvidia asleep.It is good for us all x86ers
>>108458385that's why intel has so many backdoor exploits in their chips, it's meant for the mossad to use them
Thinking of buying the Gigabyte MO27Q28G. I’ve never used OLED before. I’ve read that while 4th gen is very good, banding issues are still a problem. In my third world country, return policies are sketchy so i might have to live with it. Should I pull the trigger?
>>108458546Every unit is different that's why it's best to demo them in actual stores to know what you're getting. You may get banding or find the colors worse than QD.
So it seems the newly launched arc B70 uses the big battlemage 256bit dieSo where's the b770 at?
>>108458774Why is buying monitors always like a lottery? It feels like the whole monitor technology is extremely fragile and whimsical. Even if you pay a good amount of money, no matter the brand, you still can’t buy guaranteed quality.
>>108458877It's the same as buying phones. Not every phone is the same. That's why you demo them in the store at any retailer who sells them and the employees also encourage it. If you dont demo and just blind but you are an idiot to them.
>>108458919blind buy*
>>108458919that's absolutely ridiculous
>>108458951How? There's a million phones that all say android and have OLEDs but theyre all different from chipset, display, modem, etc.
>>108458973just go to gsmarena and check the specs and buy the phone online
>>108458981Anon OLED is organic. Everything organic is different. The same OLED you buy from Apple is not the same between devices.
>>108458981Not the same.
>>108458981You buy a Samsung phone expecting Snapdragon but you got a Exynos because you live in the wrong country third world poor.
>>108458991so you just sit in the phone store browsing jewitter for hours to see if the screen is good enough? that's nonsense>>108458998phones have specsheets, just don't be a moron and you get what you want

Lisa Su only does AI shit now, they got a dude to announce products for the peasants, notice it.
>>108458546The price is why you're looking at it in a 3rd world country. If you have the opportunity to choose one in person or just get lucky with the online purchase lottery like I did, then it is well worth the money. The banding that may remain after several auto cleaning operations will generally only be visible on a very specific kind of flat grey across the entire screen. Just doesn't happen all that often in practice.

>>108459400that'd undermine their entire cuck core strategy so i doubt itthough it would be cool to have a true 12-core cpu on the market a whole year before zen6 drops

>>108459387By releasing a CPU that nobody has the money for outside of big content creators who can swap a top end CPU for another top end just for clicks. Intel just needs to stay the course until Nova Lake and they'll claw back the mass market.

Astral LC 5090 vs AC 5090? I only had the LC available at a much lower price than it usually goes for so I pulled the trigger. How badly did I fuck up?
>>108459600>one-click presetsThat has never gone wrong ever.It's also not official nvidia.>>108459387Anyone who needs something like that already has a 9950X3D. Plus all you need to do is tard wrangle process lasso.>>108459839>AIO GPUThere's a reason it's much lower than it's normal price

>>108459839AC would be my preference if keeping the GPU for long. Not that it matters much since you can just buy the astral air cooler off ebay from Chinese factories that strip off the GPU core and vram to make 5090 AI blower cards and convert your LC into an air cooled version if the AIO dies outside of warranty
>>108459851Having to micromanage thread scheduling is why I bought a 9800x3d a year agoHad the 9950x3d2 been available then, I would have bought that instead

>>108460949If you're trying to weigh out a 5060ti vs 5070 vs 5070ti or something, at 1080 and 1440p 12gb is not realistically going to be an issue for a while. For 1440p way things are going just raw performance or featureset is still going to cuck you first, 1080p I wouldn't even be thinking about it.If you were considering an 8gb gpu, you already have to make genuinely significant compromises even at 1080p. AAA games that are borderline unplayable probably aren't too far off. Just go buy a 3080 if you're poor

Question for gaming fags. I'm using a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse that uses the same USB plug and it is honestly terrible. I'll play completive games and not only does my mouse freeze for sometimes multiple seconds, leaving me unable to aim or fire, but my keyboard sometimes freezes up and I am not able to move at allWhat are some decent mouse and keyboards I can get? I want something that isn't too expensive but will solve my lag issue. Also for reasons I won't get into, my PC is quite a bit away from my desk and most wired keyboards won't reach it.

>>108463423The distance of PC from your desk might be the issue with the keyboard and mouse issues. The signal might be weak once it reaches you. I'm sure Logitech claims those little usb receivers they give you have like 3 meters of signal length, but they don't say it's 3 meters for a strong signal.USB extension cables shouldn't add any significant amounts of latency from my understanding.

>>108463574they're all marked up to $350++ now, it's too late...
>>108463541My PC is not that far away from where I want the keyboard abd mouse. It's just far away to where most wired keyboards are unable to be oriented right to my monitor. If my keyboards had like 6-8 inches longer in wire length they would be able to work just fine. Same situation with my mouse but maybe in needs a foot more in wire. My PC is like 3-4 feet away from the area I usually keep my keyboard but it's the orientation of the tower that makes the cables too shortAgain, I am considering all of this for the sake of ensuring my keyboard and mouse stops lagging. I'll often find my mouse freezing and I am unable to aim where my enemies are nor use my click to shoot and it usually fucks me up in performance. it happens much less often but when it does, it happens often, but my keyboard will often become unresponsive and it looks as if all my previous inputs I gave while it was not responding suddenly hits the PC and it goes through all my inputs quickly before it registers my current input and it really gets on my nervesFor reference, the keyboard and mouse I am using is a logitech mouse and keyboard combo that I got for like under $50 that is pic related

I'm aiming for longevity. My current PC is from 2019 but needs a refresh. Going to hold out on buying the GPU and just use my current 2070 in the build for a while. Where did I fuck up?
>was told 9950x3d2 wasn't going to appear until later this year so went ahead and built 9800x3d pc last week>it's going to be released next month
>>108464241>Longevity>AMD GPU
>>108464293The CCL is split and not shared. So, it'd require games to use more than 8 cores to utilize the CCL on the second set of 8 cores.Performance on gaming will probably be identical to the 9950X3D1, but I may be wrong, I'd wait for actual benchmarks before you get too bothered by it.
>>108464296>Longevity>Nvidia GPU
>>108464307Oh I'm not worried about gaming, I wanted the 9950x3d for productivity stuff but I heard 9950x3d2 was going to come out later this year and I had already bought a bundle that came with the 9800x3d. So I thought I'd just get it built before prices got worse for anything else, and then wait.
>>108464296Well I was gonna keep my RTX 2070 for a while before upgrading, so might not even buy the 9070.
>>108463633>6-8 inches longerYou should be fine with an extension cord then. Just find whatever the cheapest extension cable you can find. Then find a cheap basic mouse and keyboard combo, or check thrift stores, with a physical connection with extension cables if needed try that out first and see how it goes for you.I've really only ever used Logitech mice and keyboards so can't tell you what to really get. I use a G502 Hero mouse which I think they still make, and a G610 keyboard which I don't think they make anymore. Only thing on Logitech mice is you can get a bad one where the switches break easily and they'll double click within a year. I had Logitech replace the one I had, but they made me jump through a lot of hoops. The replacement has been fine since. And the keycaps on the keyboard have broke where they don't want to sit in anymore, but that took some years. Finding replacements for them can be expensive for whatever reason.
>>108464346It's a real pain in the ass how quickly they drop support. I get you can't continue stuff forever, and obviously it's not like it doesn't happen for other companies. Nvidia did it with RTX itself, and even DLSS has limited support on older RTX series.But the whole FSR situation is a mess right now, and I feel like it's only going to get worse when AMD does finally make the jump to having whatever their version of tensor cores are taking up more of the card.I think it's an absolutely fine card if you're wanting to play shit now and can justify the expense. But, it's not gonna be like the 2070 where you get like 5+ years from it.
I need to start my PC by shorting the power button pins. Is it gonna explode if I touch another pin by accident?
Are mprt features for monitor a meme or are they actually helpful for FPS gaming
>>108464647Not really, no... thst block of pins just handles the power/restart button and some activity lights.
Any ram experts that can tell me what I'm doing wrong? Pretty high voltages near or at the limit of what's safe for everything and TestMem5 Absolut still errors out within 10 minutes trying to run 6200mhz with just expo timings. Did a sanity check and stock EXPO ran for nearly 2 hours with no errors before I stopped it. At this point I suspect it's either something with the expo timings or I have an impressively bad memory controller. The latter wouldn't make much sense though since I can run the 6000cl30 EXPO no problem with just the normal 1.2 VSOC and according to buildzoid even a bad MC with +100MV should get another 100 mhz of UCLK
I just got a 32 inch 4k monitor, and now I have to turn on my AC in the morning, otherwise I'll sweat
>>108465021very impressive AMD silicon nicotroonhonestly though idk, try tRCD/tRP 38, the rest of your timings are loose enough already
>>108464843Thanks.
I have my GPU connected to a HDR display using the nvidia default settings, and sometimes (more often than not actually) the colour space or something similar keeps fucking up and looks desaturated. The only way I can fix this is if I fuck with the nvidia image settings or toggle the windows colour space management setting. But sometimes this doesnt fix it so I have no idea what is causing this issue, if its an nvidia issue, windows or a display issue. Or maybe something completely unrelated.
>>108465021Update your agesa to 1.3.0.0a instead of of preEnable power down modeDisable nitroSet tras and trc both to 78Lower your vsoc and misc voltages they're too high
>>108465261Use a ICC profile. If programs ignore it then its a driver/windows issue.
>>108465314Is that the windows calibrated profile? The issue I'm facing is in SDR i should clarify. I turn HDR off when I'm not playing games because i have my HDR settings quite bright and saturated which looks great in games but shit for browsing and watching videos.
>>108465326If you set a ICC profile everything should follow it unless the application chooses to ignore it. In chrome you would go into flags and force a color profile for example.

disclaimer: i have not built a pc in 15 years. in fact the first pc i had was done by my dad after i got my first job still in my teens and this case is the only thing left from it (antec nsk-4482b, a 16 year case)questions:- how do i cable manage this? this PSU is like 9 years old so i think it comes with more connectors which makes it messier than modern builds. the side panel has no space or holes to run cables through it- i see that modern cases and pc builds have like arrays of fans at the front, bottom and sides. is this a non-negotiable thing nowadays? this has my brother's old rx 570 and 3400g which i understand to be lower power hardware which doesn't get too hot- wait, is this PSU even safe? i mean, it doesn't make any weird sounds or have intermittent flicker, crashing, etc and doesn't seem to run hot
>>108465806>how do i cable manage this?Can't do much beyond zip tying the longer/loose cables.https://youtu.be/eIcG67pwYOg?t=462That PC's fine without front intake & rear exhaust fans.>wait, is this PSU even safe?Enermax PSUs are decent, it should have standard PSU protections like overpower & overvoltage protection.If you're worried, check the official product page/spec sheet of that PSU and double check its protection features.
>>108465855thanks for the quick replythis is a thermaltake litepower 650w which i believe was one of the cheaper PSUs bought after the old one that came with the case died. i don't see any bronze/gold/whatever safety rating for it though i'm not sure if i need it if it's an overall low power system which i assume doesn't spike too much when gaming so i'm way under the limit
>>108465894If you got 9 years out of that, you should probably get a new PSU.Good 650W PSUs aren't very cost-efficient, you can pay about $20 more for a decent 850W PSU you can carry over to a stronger PC in the future.https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yhpQzy/adata-xpg-core-reactor-ii-ve-650-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-corereactoriive650g-bkcushttps://pcpartpicker.com/product/sqbypg/montech-century-ii-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-century-ii-850wI'd just get that Montech 850W and use it for the next 10 years.There are cheaper 550~650W PSUs, but they still cost over $50.
>>108455970Just bought Eye watering $300 for a mere 64gb of DDR4 RAM, bros. Hopefully it can last me until 2030
>>108465979i've been looking on ebay and it turns out i have a $20 off $50 min spend coupon so i'll look for the lowest 500w bronze PSU since i'm not going to upgrade from thisanother thing is that after watching your ASMR video, i thought about putting the 3.5" floppy cages back in to stuff all the excess cabling in there, but that made me realize that the current airflow situation is kind weird. the case has a spot for a front 80mm intake fan and i put it in the allocated space, but it feels like it's too low and passes air past the gpu exhaust instead of towards the motherboardthere's an indented honeycomb pattern space right above it, i'm thinking of putting it there instead but i'm not sure the screws have a place to attach the fan to it
>>108464241>I'm aiming for longevityDon't buy a 9070
>>108466085You don't have to worry too much about airflow for that 3400G and RX 570.Maybe learn how to undervolt that GPU if you want to run it a bit more cooler & power efficiently.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfo7YsFvXU8>ebayI would stick with a brand new in box PSU.If you're buying used, do some research about the model's release date and check whether it has Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Over Current Protection (OCP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), and Over Temperature Protection (OTP).These protection features are meant to save the rest of the PC components if it needs to kick in.
>>108466172oh yes, i'll be buying new. saw an EVGA 500w bronze for $59 (so $39 in my currency = $27USD)i'm off to do some screwing, bye for now~
>>108461651there is no cheap good 1440p ultrawidefalse mentally ill
>>108463245oh nooo not colorsThis has to be the most pathetic snowflake complaint imaginable. Just buy the fucking ram and stop crying. The existence of colors isn't going to turn you gay/trans or whatever schizo nonsense you started believing because a blue checkmark or /pol/ post told you so.>>108465806If it still works, it still works. PSUs generally don't go bad just because they're old. If they're bad, they were either always bad, or something happened to them. Maybe replace it if you're doing a full new build in the case, but it should be just fine otherwise if you're just going to use the same hardware.

I've been vacillating between two mid refresh 1440p VA monitors for a while. One is about $150, the other is $300 with the only notable difference that the expensive one has ok, but not great HDR with miniled local dimming (dimming algo far from optimal). The response times/smearing should be basically the same according to reviews and so is SDR performance because the local dimming is garbage outside HDR. I never had a HDR monitor before, do you think it's worth $150? And before you suggest something cheaper, I'm in the EU and have to pay fuck you taxes on everything.
>>108467094>only notable difference that the expensive one has ok, but not great HDR with miniled local dimming (dimming algo far from optimal)This isn't worth 2x the cost of the SDR VA monitor. Save that $150 for a better HDR monitor in the future.These things will only get better.
>>108467107>These things will only get better.I'm sure they will, but you can say the same thing at any point in time. If I get a monitor now I won't be getting a new one for like 5 years.
>>108455970Isn't the Arc B580 okay for 1080p?
>>108460482
>>108466879It's more important people know thst nvidia is evil and their drivers are buggy shit that can't run a cartoon children's game without stuttering than to have bloat like thermal paste recommendations Get real
>>108466795Maybe its the photograph but none of the power cables are bent, they all have plenty of slack to them, the braiding makes them very flexible (it's a strix 1000w platinum)>>108466772I have to give it to ASUS, I plugged in my ROG Claymore keyboard that I bought in 2019 and the armory crate software has linked together the RGB of the mobo, gpu and keyboard, even though theyre like 6 years apart in manufacture date, consider me impressed it was also like 1 click in the software to do it.
>>108467386I have the same cable just in a bit worse cause whoever assembled it made a mistake so the cables of the extra two pins are tangled between the other. If you're not powering a 5090 it shouldn't matter that much but the terminals of the connector at least on my cable have some play which can screw with the ampere. Asus also doesn't offer a replacement in case you break it and no third party sells the GPU first cable though I haven't seen it improving anything for me.

>>1084616514k ultrawide isn't a thing.
>>108462206don't really care, gonna sit on my 7800x3d until the final generation of am5 falls below MSRP then buy that 800x3d.next gen consoles still aren't bumping up cores, in fact they're reducing them because of the handheld, and the Steam Machine is shipping with a 6-core, and only 2 of them are real cores, so 8-cores is still overkill.
>>108462985who are you quoting?
>>108467490I just press each component in firmly until I hear a click, or if the connector is fully in contact flush from all angles in the port.I can take a PSU out of a system or install one in like 5 minutes flat, count the cables you need, note where they need to go, 90% of building a PC is planning where everything will go.
Before the news about FSR4, and the potential future issues with FSR5, I happily recommended AMD cards to people.But since all that came out, I just can't in good conscience suggest people get a card that's got such a limited lifespan ahead of it.GPUs are expensive purchases. People should be informed as to what they're buying. If people know all the facts, and still opt for AMD, that's completely fine. But, I disagree with lying or withholding the reality of the situation.

>>108467692I just bought a ultrawide monitor and I went to check how's the performance with my 9070 xt would be and one of the biggest nvidia shills on youtube was creaming himself over how good fsr4 was and how he can finally recommend amd cards to people.
>>108467546>>108462977
>>108467767FSR4 is good enough for most people, DLSS 4.5 isn't perfect either.People just have to accept they're only entitled to the features supported at the time of purchase, everything else needs to be treated as a bonus.
>>108467696at least they're giving you the heads up. nvidia already raised prices on all gpus without telling people. 5080 is supposed to be $1000 msrp but the new msrp is $1300.
>>108467779AMD should port fsr4 int8 to older cards, it's actually insane that they don't, I believe they are/were waiting for steam machine to launch it but valve keeps delaying it. It would obviously be a massive selling point for valve to put the fsr4 sticker on the steam machine.

Are you ready for incoming price hikes for desktop CPUs, since AMD and Intel will focus on server CPUs?
>>108467798I still think it's a complete miss that AMD priced the 9070XT so highly.Even against the 5070, you can make the argument that the 5070 has DLSS, RT, better productivity and is therefore a better choice in some very specific circumstance. If AMD had actually gone low with it, it would have been a steam roll.

My AIO appears to have died, and I was thinking of just going back to a fan cooler. I have a nice big case, but it's very old:Corsair Obsidian Series 750D CC-9011035-WW Black Brushed Aluminum and Steel ATX Full Tower Computer CaseBut my cable management is nonexistent, so I'm not confident that one of those thiccboi coolers would necessarily fit. It SHOULD, but the crazy one I saw that's like a vertical brick of metal with two fans on the sides is probably not the best idea for me.Honestly, at this point I probably need to just get a new motherboard and processor (AMD), but for now I can probably get away with just getting a cooler since I don't have immediate needs beyond that.
>>108468728Except NVIDIA's PCAT doesn't have a separate VRAM junction temperature reporting sensor.PCAT is for accurate external power monitoring, while NVAPI/NVML are for internal silicon telemetry.PCAT doesn't even have any physical connection to the VRAM chips.Know what you're talking about if you don't want to expose yourself as a loud & empty wheelbarrow.

>>108469665I didn't recommend the Thermalright dual tower coolers because I was assuming that case owner already heard about them.Those Thermalright coolers are fine if you're not too picky about the fans.
