From now on, everything will go to absolute shit at an accelerated speed. Prices will never return to the previous 'normal', prices will go higher and normalize there, then go higher. If you need something, if you want something, then buy it. Do not wait to save a few dollars, those few dollars will cost you a lot. Unironically if you want to consume just start consuming now. Ram price boom will feel like a firecracker compared to what's to come.

>Intel CPUs now being recommended again
What happened? I thought they were shit and stopped working prematurely?

I have a weird issue but I can't tell if I'm just imagining it or not. I was on an old nvidia driver from January till now, everything was working fine, games were super stable, no stuttering or erroneous performance drops. I just updated to the latest driver because I haven't heard anything bad about it and I thought why not. But I could swear there is now input lag in crimson desert when input response was crisp as fuck before. But I might be imagining it. I'm not sure.

>>108469497
Always delay updating software as long as possible. Usually it makes things worse not better.

>>108469069
These guys can buy 50 5070 ti's or 9070 xt's and you're here slurping up their shit like a fetid animal

>>108469497
the newer nvidia driver may have higher dpc latency. you can check with latencymon. the higher it is the more input lag you feel because your cpu is interrupting more away from your inputs and processes to tackle that.

>>108469529
>>108469546
I DDU'd and reinstalled the old driver and to be honest it feels the same. Maybe I was just imagining it.

>>108469604
it also just be shader compilation. everything you do on windows is a directx application and those have shaders if you look at disk cleanup.

>>108469631
Yeah maybe. The old driver was fine so I may as well just stick with it now. I think I needed to do a fresh driver install anyway, because switching displays and enabling VRR and stuff like that no longer has a 2 second long black screen. Makes me wonder if fresh installing the new driver will make any difference. But I can't be bothered today. Thanks anyway.

Anons, I need help. My CPU cooler died so I've just replaced it and thought this might be a good time to play with undervolting my 13700kf. I've been dropping my Global Core SVID Voltage offset by 0.01, turning my fans to max and letting Cinebench run a 10 minute stress test. I was expecting maybe .07-.08 would be my limit but I'm at -0.22 volts right now with no signs of instability. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

Couple years ago got myself a 2060 (not Super, cause it wasn't available), now I'm planning to upgrade it, very likely to 5060, of course market situation is terrible, so I really have to ask the question, is it really worth it to pay at least 50% more to get the TI version? Cause I looked at the 5070 and its almost double the price of 5060.
My CPU is 7 5700X3D, motherboard is B450 (yeah I know, I should upgrade it too).

Started an AM5 build a month or so ago (still haven't finished building) and paid $375 for a new 48GB kit of DDR5 8000CL38 but am now having serious buyer's remorse.
Wanted to get more than 32GB, since my current system averages around 27-30GB RAM utilization at any given time, but recently managed to pick up a used kit of 32GB 6400CL32 for $150. Haven't opened the 48GB kit yet but it's outside of the return window. It feels so wasteful to spend $400 on RAM for a personal build. Do I sell the unopened 48GB kit and live with the 32GB until the RAM situation settles down or sell the 32GB kit to offset the price of the 48GB kit?

>>108470069
do you need 48gb? you can probably make the money back if you sell it and just keep the 32gb

>>108470069
>since my current system averages around 27-30GB RAM utilization
wtf sell the 32gb kit and keep the 48gb.
since you got it cheap, you should be able to at least make $50-100 easy which subsidizes the cost of the 48gb kit

holy shit my pc is so quiet now that they aren't revving up every time the cpu spikes from doing literally anything

>>108470069
That 8000 MT/s CL38 48 GB DDR5 kit is worth keeping if you plan to upgrade the CPU to a Zen 6 or later product.
Those newer chips are rumored to reduce the memory speed bottlenecks (IOD & interconnect improvement).
You could manually OC the 6400 CL32 to 8000 MT/s or even higher, but this kit will almost certainly require significantly higher voltage & active cooling to keep the OC stable.
Treat it as a Zen 6 early adopter tax or something.

Those new CPUs won't be cheap btw, don't be surprised to see single CCD -X3D CPUs costing nearly $600 (especially if Intel gives AMD a free runway).

>do you need 48gb?
Realistically no. I do occasionally hit 95%+ memory utilization with 32GB; that's why I grabbed a 48GB kit (as a 64GB would have been beyond overkill, both practically and financially). I could live with 32GB, because I'm doing so right now, it was mainly just to avoid those situations where I was hitting around 31.7GB utilization.

>>108470433
>That 8000 MT/s CL38 48 GB DDR5 kit is worth keeping if you plan to upgrade the CPU to a Zen 6 or later product.
Initially the plan was to wait and do a build for Zen 6 X3D/Intel Nova Lake release but, at the time of buying the 48GB kit, the state of things and projections that prices would get higher and releases were likely going to be further out caused me to FOMO buy. If the 48GB kit is going to age better in the long term then I'd feel less bad about using it now.

>>108470773
48gb hynix m-die kits like the one you bought will age really well since they can run stupid high clocks (8400mhz+) while having one of the lowest latencies among all available die types. It should age even better than gold binned 6000cl26 64gb kits since those don't run above 7200-7600mhz which may be needed for future ddr5 CPUs for max performance

>>108471269
Intel got complacent. Then they Lost manufacturing ability and had major quality issues. That scared them which led to the nonperforming Arrow Lake, which focused on stability over max performance. Now they are creeping in the right direction with the refresh but time will tell.

>>108471269
Intel released a series of CPUs that were flawed and could damage themselves. AMD pushed forwards with simpler designs that made use of larger cache sizes.
Larger cache and fewer but more powerful and reliable cores was better for gaming.

Nobody wanted to buy a CPU that ran worse and might blow itself up.

>>108471269
Intel's top management were cutting back on r&d and firing engineers 10 years ago while their balance sheet still looked good and opted to refresh the same architecture for 6 years in a row, letting amd cook up their zen architecture over time

I've been having an issue with random shut offs. They are happening during idling, browsing and sometimes gaming. There is no blue screen or anything, the PC just shuts off and reboots (or sometimes not reboot at all). The reliability tool didn't give any useful information. For a while I thought it was the PSU, but I've still been able to do heavy gaming for hours on end. A few days ago I saw some red 'flashes' around the power connector on the GPU while it was rebooting. I reseated the power cable and hoped that would be it. I saw no outward damage on the cable or the GPU. I got an Asus astral 5080. I've been using the 12VHPWR connector from the 850W Corsair PSU. I've also got a 3 8pin to 12VHPWR connector adapter. Should I be using this? Or would using a adapter be even worse? Any other options that would be better?

my setup has finally all come together
all told, i ended up spending something on the order of 15k
definitely a bit more than i had intended to, but y'know, that's just how it goes
hoping to finally get some software up and running on these bad boys today
my current setup:
- 2x ASUS ascent GX10
- 1x 400G QSFP112 cable to connect them
- 1x AMD Ryzen 9 9950X
- 4x 64G DDR5-6400 PC5-51200 CL42
- 1x Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 2TB, PCIe 5.0x4 M.2 2280
- 1x MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI AMD AM5
- 1x Lian Li Edge Series-1300W PSU
- 1x ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360
- 1x Lian Li LANCOOL 217
- 1x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090
gonna probably try to start with GLM-4.7 on both machines, then go from there. certainly open to recommendations and suggestions

Of course, various CPU benchmarks, and modded minecraft distant horizons world generation out ~500 chunks and CPU use set to "I paid for the whole CPU" setting. It basically slams your CPU and RAM for 20-30 minutes straight.

Beyond that, the real stability concern with a 9800X3D isn't stability under load, it's stability during low-power and idle states as that's the most likely time a 9800X3D will crash.

Motherboard recommendations can't be simplified to 1~3 products. The other components have clear price & performance segments.
Motherboards are a utility hub with a lot more buying considerations (storage slots, usb headers, PCIe lane config & limitations, VRM phases & cooling, form factor, budget, etc.)

>>108472457
this is why i laugh whenever 5090 users in here jew out on 1000w or below psu's, imagine paypigging for overpriced Njudean gpus and not paying an extra 50 bucks for a decent psu?

Corsair 850w are great for midrange gpus, you bought a goyslave 5080, you should be using a 1000w to be safe. 1300 or more for 5090, i don't care what sperg anons who risk bricking their pcs say otherwise.

fast VA is good now, 0.5ms response rate, it got a lot better and it has great contrast unlike ips
if they keep making va faster to reduce black smearing it'll end up a better technology than ips because of the contrast boost

Show me these results without frame gen then i will take you seriously, i wont even ask for native resolution results im willing to let you use dlss just not fake frames. Any reply without benchmarks without frame gen is an automatic concession.

>>108472913
You're comparing apples to oranges.
Decima is an inhouse engine provided to Kojima Productions due to Sony's support for the Death Stranding project.
UE 5 is a more versatile engine that is made for a much broader developer base, and it doesn't prioritize PlayStation performance optimizations.

Neither Death Stranding nor the Horizon series are relevant in PC gaming anyway.

>>108472919
>fast VA is good now
false (or for you*)

>0.5ms response rate
LITERAL false marketing

>if they keep making va faster to reduce black smearing it'll end up a better technology than ips because of the contrast boost
never happening, it is bound by it's inherent limitations
like a down syndrome person, you can't level up from that because it's your genetics hard coded, same thing with VA
it's never getting solved, fixed, it's only putting makeup on a pig, Samsung could not solve it, inherent downsides can never be fixed
LCD in general is hardcapped and not getting much better either overall

>Neither Death Stranding nor the Horizon series are relevant in PC gaming anyway.

>>108473241
Not me. I'll wait for intel if I have to fuck around with settings for every type of task I do.

I've tried out both a QD and W oled monitor. Both look nice, but consistently give me headaches after using them for like an hour. Seems like I might be sensitive to PWM dimming or something else if my googling around is to be believed, so I'm looking at regular IPS monitors for now. Since from what I've gathered lots of miniled monitors also use PWM dimming apparently? And I just don't want to take the risk. I know that VA monitors have better contrast, but I've seen examples of black smearing and I think that'd drive me up the wall.

Question is, how do I distinguish the good options from the bad ones? I know I want something 27 inch, 1440p, at least 144 hz (though that's pretty much all of them), and with good colours. There's options from KTC and brands like amzfire & minifire on amazon that seem to have what I want, but I'm not sure what I should be checking to see if they're actually what they say they are? Is there something in the specs that I should look out for specifically?

Most of the affordable entry level & mainstream IPS monitors are using similar display panels.
There'll be differences in maximum brightness and color accuracy out of the box, and how well the monitor lives up to their advertised specs.
There are monitors with EyeSafe certifications, but this is for blue light protection.
Read a lot of owner feedback and check professional reviews if available.

Did you have any issues with returning those OLED monitors?

i don't think you can beat X3D with these chiplet CPUs
but there's only one way to find out

>>108473829
what race is that?

guys, I changed from 1080p to ultrawide 1440p, now everything looks too small, what scaling should I use?

should I get an ultrawide?

next thread has my full sapport. unless its gay. (like this thread)

went from 32" 1080p to 34" ultrawide and it feels much smaller because the screen is shorter and wider

AM5 has been the worst decision of my life.
Fuck AMD unboxed.
Legitimately getting BSODs over opening the file manager.

>>108473898
what about the super long ultrawides that curved? Wouldnt that be better

computers are still a lot cheaper now than they were in the 80's/90's. stop whining. the only thing that's up a lot is the amount of poor third world shitdwellers and neets that feel entitled to affordable computers.

>>108473898
I'm going to slowly blog as I notice things
the colors are WAY better, damn I had a shitty screen
the gpu went from pulling 80w to display 180hz 1080p frames in dota 2 to 110w on ultrawide
it's too bright and too colorful
I genuinely cannot see the "more pixels looks better" the detail looks the same, maybe this is a thing you notice when you downgrade in resolution not when you upgrade

Play a PS2 game at native res then get the internal resolution to render it at 4K
You'll see the difference.

40" or 45" would be the equivalent
there is a reason they are called ultrashorts

pretty sure that windows 11 updated the chipset drivers so that the 9950x3d works as intended like a year ago?

My 5090 is drawing between 420 and 530W on 4k TAA FPS LOCKED FF7 Rebirth

lower your power limit

is there any review of 250k igpu ?

>>108473745
either get a laptop stand to hide your laptop behind your monitors or look into an underdesk solution to hide it. Dongle/dock to plug into it. Maybe put in an IT ticket for a new monitor, the standard issue dells are now usb c and charge your laptop. Just put in a request for a dongle/hub as well while you're at it lol
