CPU of the decade?
>>108584804No, fuck you
>>108584807>be 9800x3d>lack cores>lack power draw>lack ghz>still comes out on topintel rn
Are seagate HDDs still bad? What brand is even good in HDDs?
>>108584909Issue was specific models
>>108584970>specific modelsmodels as in specific units or a whole line like all Ironwolf HDDs
>>108585003former
>>108585003a singular series of 3tb barracudas from a billion years ago had such a horrendous failure rate that it fucked up seagate's reputation for a while even though their other drives just werkedit's not much but I've had this 1tb basic bitch barracuda in my pc as a secondary drive for 8 years and it's still doing just fine
9800x3d is at $409
>>108584807Intel is coming in strong. Hopefully we have some good competition going. But, it won't mean anything unless they can get a good gaming CPU that isn't as expensive as AMD.AMD's released announced the 9950X3D2 is going to be like $1000, which is absolutely crazy.
>>108585347Nova lake will redeem so hard that hardware unboxed and gaymers nexus will have no choice but to resign and commit ritualized suicide
>>108585347>9950X3D2how much better is it for gaming than the 9800x3d? Arent the cores still split into two CCD?
>>108585457>Arent the cores still split into two CCD?Yes, and it's clocked 100mhz lower.
>>108585457It's probably worse, or largely the same.Cores are split across two CCDs, the second CCD is only going to be used if the game is using more than 8 cores. Which... Isn't really any of them, I guess.Maybe if you're into hosting and playing an ARMA server on one compute?
Reflex 2 still isn't in any games.
It's out>>108586078
>>108586084oled slop
>>108586089SLOPPY
>>10858608442" is way too fucking big for a monitor.
>>108586108You save like $30 if you don't need the integrated though. I don't think there's a 14600f
kids today now know what it's like when boomers say "back in my day I used to get a gallon of milk for a quarter!"
>>108586158I wrote wrong, it's actually the 48"42" is not that large compared to 32"
7 years and still can't beat a PS5 for 500 dollars. lmao.
>>108586166Just remember what this is doing for the common good and feel better
>>108586191>500$650, and you can do that with used parts
Heads up for 9070XT buyers.https://old.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1siyrcs/buyer_beware_faulty_gravastar_gpu_customer/
>>108587057and i was starting to think yeston is pretty based too...
>>108584807>tested with DDR5 8200mhz ram
>>108584807im getting strong 10850k vibes from this one
I bought a brand new 18 inch haswell Alienware for $700
>>108587057it honestly sounds like he got a shitty psu. the gpu spikes when you uncap the fps and the gpu dies when the psu cannot deliver. the support is also right that if they can pass timespy then the card is not faulty it will at least show artifacts or not pass the test.
>>108587126If you're buying a fucking Gravastar 9070XT, you're probably the kinda nigga to cheap on a PSU.
>>108587136all of their problems would probably be fixed if they undervolted & applied a negative power limit. amd cpus & gpus have no reason to run at stock voltage.
>>108587150true. and nvidia even started raising vcore on the 5090 over the 4090 for no good reason. every 0.040v vcore above 1.0v increases power draw by like 120W
>>108587119>haswell Alienware>$700Wtf why $700
>>108587136>Some sort of Hyte case clone>Fake Lian Li fans>Thermaltake CPU cooler>DDR4 Dominators?>Yeaston 9070XT.The AliExpress Special.
>>108587187CPU power is irrelevant beyond haswell. All that matters is keyboard and screen of which those are still the best in existence on the 2013 Alienware
>>108587119nice glossy display but since its that old i dont expect it gets bright enough to use in well lit rooms?
If I try to put a 5090 in this,https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/rm32/how loud is the system likely to be and/or at risk of a meltdown?I've been looking for a horizontally-oriented/HTPC-style PC case that I can slide onto a shelf of my TV unit, and this is literally the only thing I can find less than the requisite 22cm in height (acknowledging I'll definitely need to put some rubber feet on it though).
>>108587319It’s brand new basically. Hasn’t been used for more than 100 hours
>>108587136>Gravastarwhat even is this?
>rbg fansyou're gay btw
can't decide if I clone my drive, reinstall windows 10 or migrate to cachyos already.

>she/her bought 'vidia when you can use DLSS on the godlike 9070 XT and still have full performance on linuxtsc tsc tschttps://www.dsogaming.com/mods/dlss-enabler-can-now-simulate-dlss-4-multi-frame-gen-x5-x6-on-any-dx12-gpu/
>>108589535>"DLSS Enabler simulates DLSS 4 MFG. Thus, the results are not as good as those of DLSS 4 MFG when running on an RTX 50 series GPU. So, be sure to keep that in mind."I guess that works but x6 frame gen is useless. Even 4x is dubious, and thats on an nvidia gpu.
>>108589590I would never use anything above 2x frame gen personally, maybe 3x because my screen is 180hz and I could lock stuff at 60 and then get it to 180, but 120 is usually enough
