This seems to be the real next thread I guess so I'll ask here.
People say that with the 9800x3d and other x3d cpus you can get away with worse ram, how true is this? Are there games that won't utilize the cache as well and ram will still matter? The two most cpu demanding games I play are CS2 and Marathon (the new one), are there any benchmarks for this on them?

Some people were talking about this last thread and I've been thinking about it since while I plan my gpu upgrade.
I currently have a 2700x on an x470 aorus ultra gaming that's PCIe 3.0 for everything and plan on upgrading to a 5900xt and 9070 xt for gaming and productivity work on Linux. I already know there is no point getting higher than gen 3 ssd but how bad will being 2 gens behind be for a 9070 XT in both gaming and AI workloads + other productivity

If you're worried about a CPU bottleneck, I wouldn't be. But that's what the 5800X3D is for.

>>108684188
pcie generation matters even less on a gpu since they're operating at a x16 link with even higher bandwidth. pcie bandwidth also matters less the larger the gpu's vram for which 16gb is a lot by today's standards.

I'm just after some advice on a pc build for my dad.

His laptop is struggling to play total war games now and constantly crashes so he wants to build a pc but we're quite scared of the ram prices.

He's got a budget of about £1000 he mainly plays total war games and is still mad on Age of Empires 2, so as long as it can cope with say Rome total war 2 etc and maybe some of the latest games on medium settings.

I've no idea on Intel or AMD it's been many years since I build a pc.

>>108685451
I'm not familiar with UK stores, but I'm assuming there's some that do combo deals like Microcenter in the USA. Newegg does them too. You usually get a cpu, ram, and a mobo. Helps with the cost of the ram these days.
I would think you could also try to build PC that still uses DDR4, assuming you can still find new CPUs in that line or find used, for those games. AM4 was the last line of AMD cpus that used DDR4. Intel has some cpus that can use DDR4 and DDR5. The GPU you would need, which are also pricey these days, can either be on the lower end, or can also be previous generations though finding those new might be hard as well.
If you decide to go with AM5, which have iGPUs unlike AM4 and lower, don't bother trying to use those iGPUs for games. The Intel ones are usually all right though.
You can also go to the UK version of pcpartpicker and look at the completed builds people have posted. The price is usually listed so you'll be able to see what people have built for 1000 or lower. Though I'm sure some may not be accurate. And look at the Steam pages for the games to get an idea on the specs you need. I'm pretty sure even current Total War games aren't very demanding, but I could be wrong.

One last note would be that we're in an odd time where prebuilts might be cheaper than building your own PC due to ram and gpu prices, so check those out as well.

this is one thing about pathtracing that I really don't like is how it "removes" details from the textures, early full HD games had gorgeous textures because that's all the devs invested in and did very little for lighting, now everything is about lighting, which isn't bad, but I'd like to see those textures remain vivid and pretty and detailed and not be obfuscated by light rays all the fucking time

hopefully they will come up with a middle of the road solution that enhances how textures look and give off a baseline of lighting to the scene instead of this stupid overtuned light rays implementation that probably only looks good using hdr

>>108685568
>478 FPS - 68 FPS
lmao

assuming path tracing is replacing all lighting with ray traced beams and ray tracing to be adding ray traced beams on top of old global illumination settings I think ray tracing would've looked better and use less gpu resources.

For some weeks now i have started having issues that seem to be GPU related. I was getting having moments where small green squares appeared across my monitor (all three monitors), screens flickerings and going black with a disconnect noise from windows, the games i played would randomly crash after all screens would flicker, the game also usually giving a graphics related error. Monitor flickering happened outside of gaming too. all visuals on screen would freeze after the flicker and (most) images would become green. For that time i have been using a NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060 8GB (gigabyte) for a few years now on this PC. Despite all the trouble shooting- remove and plug in again, new monitor cables, drivers updates, etc. I ended up going through with purchasing a new GPU... it sucked to think maybe mine was dying, but I never had this extent of problems before and its all I could conclude after so much searching.

i got a NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5070 12GB (msi), and installed it. There was a hiccup at first where screens flickered, but i assumed it was simply that i still needed to update the drivers-- after that it didnt seem to occur again. But some days passed and similar issues came back. No green pixels scattered on the screen this time. but all the same issues as before.

different cables for monitors did not solve the issue. updated drivers, reinstalled drivers from "game ready" to "studio drivers", no change. i have entirely new cables for the GPU to plug into my power supply, no change. all the symptoms seem like GPU ones to me and i am not sure what i can do when an entirely new card did not fix it, along with all the other attempts. it seems like the GPU change did nothing at all. could this be a motherboard issue instead?

I have a desktop with AMD 7700X, 32Gb Ram and 7800XT 16Gb GPU. I recently acquired an ITX toaster with AM4 CPU, 3400G or something like that, disabled IGPU immediately to free up the extra NVME slot, 16Gb DDR4, with the intention of using it as a home server/TV room PC/portable Steam box.
I have an old 1660 Super lying around, already tried it and works super well, it is where I got the TV PC/Steam box idea.

My question is do I buy an RX 7600XT 8G to power the toaster or do I buy an RX 9070 16G for twice the money, use that in my desktop and put the 7800XT in the toaster?

The CPUs I am using already vastly outperform my needs. Both displays used are 1080p 60Hz, don't feel like upgrading those because I won't see any difference with my eyesight.
Budget: not much, I can squeeze out the 9070 in a couple months. The real question is if the difference worth the money.

>>108685568
Do you expect vivid colors and textures in a gloomy foggy setting at night or dusk the same as you would on a clean sunny day? Because that is where this question lies, not just displaying what the objects like but also what they appear as in different lighting and atmospheric settings. And atmospheric effects will degrade your sharp looks, just like in real life. Even in a clear sunny day you will lose crisp details due to shimmering heat haze. And those atmospheric effects take a lot more calculations than just displaying objects and textures in 3D because effectively you are calculating physics. Do you really need those heavy calculations instead of just altering some global settings and "simulating" the effects instead of calculating real time? Certainly there are some room for optimizations but in the end it is just some fancy visuals you can get close enough results with much much less. That is my take on pathtracing.

>>108685723
honestly I don't think the path traced atmospheric look looks better than the old version.
it's not black and white, there are a few areas where it's much better and a few that are worse and ideally we would be moving towards just fixing what's bad instead of replacing everything which comes with it's new set of underwhelming areas.

>>108685754
The most power hungry recent game I am playing is Starfield and it has nailed the atmospheric looks from all kinds of lighting and all types of atmospheres and it only uses raytracing. Even cards with early and not very stellar RTX performance do it without much issues. Pathtracing really is unnecessary and only exists so some algorythm would decide on the lighting instead of an actual artist doing the work beforehand. Basically paying more so the company can spend less and you are left with garbage. It also increases overhead like crazy, I would not be surprised multi 100Gb game sizes and chugging low performance on high end graphics. And the company will just slap on framegen to increase the FPS metrics.

>>108685880
pathtracing exists to sell ever faster cards so the gaming gpu industry remains a billion dollar industry for the foreseeable future

>>108685960
Nah. The AI boom and datacenters are vastly outrunning the home entertainment industry by at least an order of magnitude. The real answer is more disgusting, the gaming companies and publishers don't want to spend money on developers, in this case artists to create and sculpt the game world, with pathtracing it is easier to adapt in some machine generated assets and make them look realistic enough. A human can make it as good or better but the human has to be paid. AI does not. It is that simple.
Which is why I am quietly started hoarding my own entertainment media including games in physical form so I can just pull out a game, install, configure it on my Linux gaming box and start playing without any DRM or AI companies being involved or even having a notice that I am doing something. It isn't much yet, nowhere as big of a library I had when I was sailing the seven seas 20 something years ago, but that is where things are going.

I'm losing hope in Radeon...
Lately, the rumors haven’t been very favorable for the red side. There are indications that AMD may not provide support for the future FSR Diamond on the Radeon RX 9000 lineup. If that actually happens, it would be a pretty bad decision for both the company and its users, since such an important technology would end up being restricted to future GPU generations.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Nvidia continues to maintain a very solid ecosystem. In this scenario, if an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT have the same price, for example, it's perfectly understandable that someone would choose an RTX 5070. Some reasons include:

Better professional applicability, with stronger optimization (Blender, AI workloads, Adobe Creative Cloud programs);
Better upscalers (DLSS 4.5 + DLDSR);
Reflex 2 support (coming soon);
Considerably better support for MFG and path tracing;
Lower VRAM consumption and better memory management in games (GDDR7);
Longer driver support and more "democratic";
More promising future technologies focused on improving visual realism and performance in games and 3D applications (RTX Neural Shaders, RTX Neural Texture Compression, RTX Neural Faces, etc.).

At this point, I’m feeling pretty hopeless about Radeon.

EOL for a 5 year old cards that were still in brand new builds even as late as 2023. Imagine getting a "brand new" pc and 2 years later they just say nope, no more updates. Not even the FSR4 int8 that they clearly managed to get to work on those cards. Just left with the dogshit fsr3 and no more optimizations for newer games. That 6900xt you bought? Useless lmao.

So I recently purchased and started building my first pc a couple days ago and I have majority of it hooked up besides the liquid cooler and gpu but the fans wont run when I hit the power switch, and only the mobo lights up, even though I have rgb ram.

I am looking to finally upgrade my desktop. It won't be used for gaming but I do heavy workload and lots of mufti on my PC so I want it to be able to keep up. I also work on a triple monitor display. Here are some of my needs.

1. I use a triple monitor display, and I need 2 HDMI outputs and 1 DP output.

2. Not sure if this is possible at all, but I have pretty spotty WIFI in my apartment and am at the mercy of my landlord, so anything that could possibly increase signal strength would be great. For example, my MacBook Wifi speeds are significantly better than my desktop although they are right next to each other.

3. 64GB of RAM would be the minimum I would prefer.

4. Making it look nice would be great as well.

Are DRAMless NVMes measurably worse in real world use cases?

>>108692489
depends. they're actually more suitable for handhelds and laptops since they draw less power in use and in standby. also more advanced dramless drives perform close to dram ssds
the only downside is that hmb caching on dramless ssds can sometimes cause bsod/data loss issues on windows if a bad windows update happens

Anyone that buys a keyboard less than 100% are retards.

My specs (OS is Win 11 Pro) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f4CXvR

So, I'm running into an abnormal Windows issue after a major hardware upgrade.

Symptoms:

Windows boots fine, but at login it says “Something happened and your PIN isn’t available” It asks me to sign into my Microsoft account Problem: no network options show up at all.. Wi‑Fi and Ethernet are missing (only Airplane Mode appears)

Ethernet link lights are on (orange), so hardware seems fine. I’m guessing Windows simply doesn’t have LAN/Wi‑Fi drivers for Z890 yet, which creates a loop where:

TPM changed PIN invalidated MS account verification required needs internet No internet because drivers aren’t present

So, my questions here is:

What’s the best offline way to break this loop without reinstalling Windows or rebuilding back to old motherboard? Password login? USB tethering? Manual drivers install?

you can try safe mode without networking. if that doesn't work you have to enter the windows recovery environment and bring up the command prompt and manually install drivers from a usb. you just open the .inf and the driver intalls.

So I recently bought this used pc off of someone. Initially system said it had 40gigs of ram running at 2133mhz which cut my attention. I opened up the PC and saw that it has two corsair 16 GB sticks of RAM running that are supposed to run at 3600mhz equaling to 32gigs.

Next I found out was that there was another memory stick by Pacific Sun 16 GB of ram at 1600mhz next to it.

My question is should I run the two sticks of 3600mhz and ditch the singular 16gig pacific memory stick. May sound like a stupid question but I’m new to this lol thanks

>>108695891
run 2 sticks at 3600mhz for dual channel. the third stick kicks it back down to single channel which is bad for performance.

I tried the things suggested, but it doesn't work. I resitted the RAM, checked connections on the motherboard, and the PSU still nothing any suggestions? I know that there is a small chance a brand new motherboard can just be DOA from the factory is that's what's happening here?

>>108696023
try 1 stick

>>108696023
Assuming you didn't physically damage anything while putting it together, it's almost certainly not a hardware failure since you got it to POST once. Crapping out on the second boot would be extraordinary. I don't know if your motherboard has the new-style RAM sockets but their design is total dogshit, you have to make sure to seat the sticks absolutely perfectly. If you try booting with just one stick as anon said, there's a particular socket you have to use, make sure you know which one it is.

I don't plan on getting a liquid cooler because I suspect I'd find a way to fuck it up somehow. I haven't been following heatsinks since I bought this mid-2023. Using a 7950X.
Should I buy another Phantom Spirit or something else?

I attached the wrong (but still related) screenshot and am so happy to see my name and address aren't in there. Got my heart rate spiking, goddamn.

They're supposed to last forever. How is it failing? If it's just the fans, get a replacement fan

One of the fans started rattling months ago, figured I should replace it, took the fan off intending it to be a temporary fix, was surprised that the temperature wasn't noticeably affected, today the remaining fan started rattling, made some bad noises, CPU hit 95C for a few minutes before fixing itself. So I'm finally going to get around to replacing the heatsink for real this time, Except I didn't realize they sell replacement fans, I'll look into that instead.

best cost efficient pc today: 5800x3d + b550 + 32gb ddr4
second best: 7800x3d + b650 + 32gb ddr5
everything else: waste of money not worth buying, wait for zen 7

buy a:
peerless assassin 140
royal pretor 130 ULTRA
frost tower 140
or deepcool assassin IV VC elite
those will all do the job
you can buy the big noctua cooler too buy it's a waste of money

>peerless assassin 140
>140
OH SHIT. I didn't know that existed. Sounds great, thanks.

Well path tracing is very taxing on the CPU, in addition to the obvious GPU overhead.
High (120+) refresh rates are more commonly bottlenecked by the CPU, not GPU

>>108700651
If I decide to simply replace the fan(s), I just buy this, right?

After looking into it, I can't find any benchmarks and can only find a few user reports comparing the Peerless Assassin 140 to the Phantom Spirit 120. In theory, the PA 140 should have more airflow and therefore be better than the PS 120, right?

I got the PA140 but if you need better cooling just go AIO

What? What are you talking about dumb fucks. If fans are failing, get replacement ones, any will do, like arctic for example, may check the specs, never happened to me though. Rattling may mean that the fan attchment got loose. Apply the thermalpaste if you hadnt had any, wash the dust from tower. Finally you can see the fan speeds and set a cpu thermal limit in bios. Almost any cooler is sufficient to cool 7950 provided the thermal paste is applied

Ever since buying 5090 suprim, my pc has felt awful vs the older 4090 and even older GPUs.

My laptop also feels consistently better.

RAW FPS numbers and stress tests are good.

Moving the cursor, on desktop even, feels off at times, is very noticable when you're used to a 240hz oled setup with a properly working GPU.

I feel resistance on desktop, cursor blurs easier despite 5090 and 240hz.
Laptop is clearer with a 4060 on same monitor.

Elden ring, or any game, can have mouse look very "laggy/stuttery" for the fps.
60fps... is horrible to use a mouse with, when mouse is visible.
Laptop is far better.

Only thing that improved te 5090 mouse behaviour is going from b650 tomahawk to x870e gigabyte board but the board had issues, so i sent it back.

The b650 had no issues prior to the 5090 suprim!

Also, G sync/VRR is behaving very poorly overall with the 5090.

Have you tried not downloading large amounts of gay porn while playing video games?
Should fix the lag issue.

I had the same issue with my mouse, as you described on the post, with my 5090.

When I installed my 7900 xtx, the problem went away, so I think it's something related to NVIDIA drivers and blackwell (RTX 5000) graphics cards.

The moment I installed any AMD driver, I instantly noticed that moving the cursor on the desktop was waaaaaaay smoother.

Jeet engineers' software has arrived

I'm going to start researching and piecing together my new server build. It needs to be rack mountable. Any suggestions on where to start for the enclosure?

>>108685657
potentially. Do you have a friend with a different model gpu? AMD in particular? just to try something completely different? its not a big deal to remove the old drivers, install AMD, test it, then remove and replace old nvidia drivers.

I once had a problem with an Acer monitor i bought, it was the screens fault, it would cut power for 1.5 seconds at a time randomly, whenever i was gaming, every 5-10 minutes, then cut back in like nothing happened. Had to fight the warranty dept for it because the retarded jeets at Acer sent it back twice claiming "we can't reproduce the problem, the monitors fine", even though i submitted footage of it happening from my phone the second time.

Unplug all but 1 monitor and test it. People have been complaining about compatibility and stability issues with multi-monitor setups on pcs for years, but the vast majority of complaints come from Nvidia users.

i hope thats a gen2 or something m.2, no cooling pads, no thermal pads? oof.

>>108701923
im starting to suspect that Njudea have stopped caring about their drivers half as much since gamers became their third-string customers. Their pleb-team of outsourced jeets seem to be their main driver tech-support team now.
