Got extra money. Is it worth upgrading from 7700x to a 9800x3d? I had a 5600x before that. Thinking one big upgrade that lasts me years n years is better than incremental ones.
>>108529354make the jump to 9800x3d
>>108529354no, wait for zen 6 at this point, it's 8 months away
>>108529354pass, maybe next gen if it's good.
anon my am4 mb died. recommend me a new one
>>108529461b550 msi or asrock
>>108529354It's hard to give advice in that.Like >>108529362 said.We still don't know jack shit about zen6 and am5 still has atleast one more generation with zen6...As far as future proofing theres no way to tell what will be valuable in the future. If your thinking about getting an x3d chip then zen6 'supposedly' has a larger increase in x3d cache that will blow zen5 out the watter. But if your focused on just getting an x3d chip now then the 9800x3d is going to be the most relevant cpu thats available today in the future, atleast on am5. A 9850x3d would be better, but so would a 9950x3d 2.
Why does no one want amd
I have a 5070ti and 12400f. just doing 1080p gaming at 144hz. sometimed im getting stuttering on multiplayer games. do i need to get a better cpu?
>>108529514probably, get a 14600k, shouldn't be too expensive, undervolt it and tune the memory
>>108529514heavily depends on the game but probably something else at play>>108529509same reason rdna3 doesn't get fsr4
>>108529514Get a 14600k, tune the memory, but overclock it until it can pull 300w for sick benchmark scores
>>108529354Just wait for the last gen of cpu's on am5. Then you can entirely skip the next socket.
>>108529195>>108529218amd + nvidia or you're just a jew shill.
>>108529684sounds about right.
>>108529684this meme is so bad, you can buy 10 different 9070 xts with normal 8 pin connectors but every nvidia card uses that exact terrible connector
>>108529716
Are you guys trying to compete with the smartphone general or some shit to be the worst thread on the boardThis shit is horrendous, nearly 30 replies in and all these posts have 0 value and are just low quality bait
>>108529509>John Peddie Researchthank you for letting me know I should disregard anything they say.
>>108529739reporting doesn't help either. sad general.
>>108529739no one comes to build a new pc because drumpf literally nuked the economy and the pc hardware market to help his crony friends get even richer, so there's nothing to talk about
>>108529739What did you expect when the OP who makes these threads regularly re-makes the general immediately once a real conversation begins.
looking for a pvp mmo to play with my pc and it's so sad that throne and liberty is the only one that fills those boots these days.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY-h6Vjztlg
>>108529809play esports games for pvp. mobas fill the rpg role.I play MMOs to chill. LotRO just got better UI upscaling support for higher resolution displays so I'm back to playing that outside Deadlock.
>>108529354get the 9850x3d or 9950x3d2
>>108529825speaking of chill mmos, swtor will be getting a directx 12 update this year, it's a fun game for the story alone
>>108529855SWtOR is probably the only F2P Western MMO I haven't tried.
>>108529901each class has it's own story and they are all pretty fun to go through, I would recommend trying the game after the graphical update hits
>>108529855>>108529901>>108529921I'll have to check it out.Kotor was one of my favorite games growing up and I missed out on galaxies.If the writing is anything like kotor then it sounds good.
Anyone in here buy a pulsar monitor?
>>108529954use case of 1440p IPS at the price of 1440p/2160p 240+hz OLED?
>>108529921when is this supposed to release?
>>108529984oled is meme slop, I'm not buying an oled monitor ever again.
>>108529990"spring"https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1286830/view/507357499795440949
I've tried dynamic frame gen and it's cool and all but it doesnt cap at my monitors refresh rate for some reason so I get screen tearing.
>>108529759cope
>>108529993so why spend OLED money on IPS?
>>108530061Because it looks cool
>>108529954I got an OLED monitor & the Pulsar doesn't justify the cost.It's also better to wait for these first gen implementations to mature.4K Pulsar might be interesting, but it will need 1080p dual mode for competitive multiplayer games.
>>108529739its been like this since last year, the nico nigger (amd schizo) and now the Intel schizo always snipe the general and if someone else makes the general they make one themselves anyways, confusing or misdirecring the people that actually need help. Theres no chance of things getting better unless they block their ass from the whole board
>>108529514Might be a stupid question, but why not upgrade to 2k? Your GPU could easily handle it.
Anyone need cheap monitors?https://www.ebay.com/itm/306684447526
Optimal fan set up for 5 fans?Opinions on fans below the gpu as intake? ive read you shouldnt put the farthest back fan since it could block/interfere with the exhaust of the psu if its bottom mounted
>>108530150post a picture of the case
>>108530155its a corsair frame 5000dIt has 4 140 mm and I bought an extra one (same as stock) I was wondering if I should also get extra fans for below the gpu but the ones mounted in the shroud can only be 120theres also space for side fans but Im gonna put that side of the case near a wall
>>108530184red and blue is how I would do 5 but I would buy 3 more and finish the job (purple)
>>108530199I forgot to mention Im gonna use an air cooler (dont like aios after 2 broke on me in 2 years each)I didnt consider a top fan as intakeill think about this set up, thanks anon
there's another intake I didn't draw
if amd would launch new and better am4 x3d chips and back port fsr4 int8 to rdna 2 and 3 people would instantly love them, but they want to be evil like nvidia
>>108530132What intel schizo? It's literally just nico and maybe like 2/3 people trying to bait him into having a melt down
>>108530263chip design takes years to complete. by the time they're done backporting zen4/5 to am4, zen6 would already be 1-2 years old
>>108529984This is true, but we really need rtings to put gsync pulsar monitors into their burn in benchmark.It's really hard to actually burn in the display, since the backlight is just bunch of rows, and it would have a similar burn in as a mini-led (which is hard to burn in as well), but it should be possible in theory.Also I want to see a pulsar display with a dead zone, to see how ugly it would be. I tried to search google but it seems nobody has experience it. yet.
>>108530332I've never heard of burn-in outside OLED, and isn't RTINGS paywalled now?
>>108530323at this point a 5800x3d rerun would be sufficient for the unwashed masses
anon I have>5070ti>850w psuwhat is the lowest possible spec for AI gen img workloads? I want it to be power efficient and cheap.
Somebody talk me out of buying a 1500w psu for the 7800x3d and 5070ti build.
>>108531137you do youfyi i'm using a 1000w gold psu with my 9800x3d+5090 build
>>108531137what you think happens>buy 2000w psu>run at 500w full load>save money from platinum power efficiency what really happens>2000w psu>500w max load>still 1200w away from hitting efficiency band
>>108531160>still 1200w away from hitting efficiency bandQRD?
>>108531183buy a psu that does 15-20% more wattage than your system pulls under max load. pcpartpicker has a decent wattage calc when you list your items
ill pretend its /pcbg/ related, do i get a vertical mouse? thinking about getting a logitech lift, my g pro superlight started double clicking and reverse scrolling
>>10853121815-20% sounds like dangerously low headroom for power spikes.
>>108531183optimal efficiency is about 60-80% of the psu's rated wattage>power spikesirrelevant if you get atx3.1 since the spec requires larger OCP margins on the 12v rails
>>108529954would be good if it would be a set and forget kind of thing but now to reach 60hz and whatever else you have to change settings and get out of the pulsar mode plus the flickerall these hoops just to cope with a 1440p lcdplus it's expensive as fucknot sure I care that much>>108529993>I'm not buying an oled monitor ever again.now you can buy an oled tv>>108530149kinda close in price to a 260hz ips imagine buying a 100hz>>108530332>schizoing over burn in on lcd evenwe are declining
