What's a respected screen review site?
>>108924123Rtings but you have to pay
air cooler is fine. I compiled the whole ungoogled chromium yesterday and max temp I hit was 65c
>>108923594Oops posted the wrong card.Here is the best RX 9070XT
>>108924286they are no longer respected
>>108924611By poors.
>>108924611I never respected them, there's some chink on YouTube who does way better reviews for TVs than ratings
Got a 3080. 1440p / high refresh rate setup. Starting to struggle here and there. 16x2gb DDR4 ram sticks (3600mhz cl16), 5700x3d and a 3080 setup is what I have currently. Thinking of getting a 5080 since PSU is enough to cover the wattage needs. Right now, preliminary searching tells me it won't really bottleneck except at a very minimum amount at niche cases. Don't think my 3080 will last too long when it comes to demanding titles at 1440p and higher than 60fps.Do you guys think it'll to be enough to properly last 3-4 years or do you think the CPU and older ram will fuck me at 1440p? Don't feel like buying new CPU yet since I'd have to swap the mobo. And with a new CPU I'd need a new ram, at that point that's pretty much an entire new build with the hyper-inflated prices. Thinking of just getting the GPU and trying to weather ~4ish years and see if component situation overall improves.
>>108924686I'd rather just text reviews with filters for screensize and panel type so I don't have to scroll through omg awesome chungus 32+ oleds
>>108924723I am going to say no it won't last long16gb simply just isn't going to be enough for the next generation of games
>>108924749I searched for rumors/leaks surrounding new GPUs, and it's grim. Is it really better to wait at this point, do you think?Maybe could go even cheaper route, forego premium nvidia features and get 9070xt to hold out for the time being, I guess. Don't care for path/whatever tracing shit. Transformer model for DLSS is nice, but don't know if it's worth the premium. Wouldn't use framegen due to input/latency lag.The only options with higher vram are 4090 and 5090, I'm not paying for that lol.
>>108924723either get a 9070 xt now or an nvidia gpu, or wait until december 2027 for the next gen
>Upscaling support covers NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR—Intel XeSS is not available. We checked the game executable and confirmed that FSR is version 3.1.5 (not FSR 4), compiled directly into the binary rather than loaded as a separate DLL, meaning it cannot be user-overridden. DLSS ships at version 310.6.0—the very latest available—bringing full DLSS 4.5 support with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation up to 6x. This is a stark contrast in vendor treatment: NVIDIA is a first-class citizen with the cutting-edge SDK, AMD gets an outdated upscaler, and there is no frame generation, despite FSR 3 supporting it, and Intel is shut out entirely. The native TAA implementation is notably poor, producing a low-resolution, grainy, and jittery image—interestingly, previous Hitman titles using the same Glacier engine did not have this issue. It looks like the game is rendered at lower resolution, despite selecting "native." If you want a better image, you should use DLSS. The visual difference between TAA and DLAA is huge, even DLSS Balanced mode looks noticeably better than native TAA, so we strongly recommend using DLSS. Even FSR Quality (there's no FSR DLAA equivalent) looks better than native TAA.Radeon driver override doesn't work for FSR 4.X in this game. Sad.
>>108924873>this game007 First Light
>>108924873>compiled directly into the binary rather than loaded as a separate DLLthat's plain malicious, they literally went out of their way to do that.
>>108924788>Wouldn't use framegen due to input/latency lagIt's minimal to non-existent perceptually. Many games have worse latency out of the box than other games with FG. Unless you're heavily optimizing for latency (running below full GPU load in games without Reflex), you're just making up problems

>wood>leather
>>108924977wood on a pc is mega cringeunironically worse than rgb with rainbow default setting turned on
>>108924977the aluminium look is cool. Wood I don't really care but seems out of place
Is it still worth buying a network card with 10 gigabit ethernet or better if your mobo only has gigabit? Dunno what premium LGA1700 boards with it command over X470.
>>108924986>wood on a pc is mega cringeThere has to be some late stage capitalism comnentary on this kike marketing scheme, PCs are MACHINES meant to be FUNCTIONAL first, if you want them looking like a cozy living room appliance we can just put it in a nice looking shell, not on the components themselves
>>108924873>there's no FSR DLAA equivalentbut there's fsr native aa
>>108924788>Is it really better to wait at this point,We have all seen how the waiting game has worked out during the recent years.If you really need or want something then bite the bullet and just get it now and don't buy mid range or you're fucked.>>108924986>>108925101Of all of the aesthetic choices to criticize, a bit of wood texture is the last one anyone should have anything negative to say about.Computers have gone through varying stages of absolute eye rape for years now and a muted wood + aluminium combo is what gets people whining about aesthetics? That board looks good and wouldn't be out of place at all in a Nordic design environment. Good luck finding matching design in other components though.
>>108925119and the game doesn't fsr native aa. it only goes up to quality. wuthering waves used to be the inverse of this it only went up to quality because there was no dlaa and ultimate quality was worse than quality.
>>108924123any that list specs for model you are interested in you use search engine to find such site
>>108925092possibly, the original pci express standard was introduced in 2003, it replaced the slower pci and agp buses and has since become the most common and fastest expansion bus in computers for graphics cards, ssds and other peripherals
>>108925092I'm using a home router with 8 10g rj45 ports, which cost me $100 for two used enterprise cards (PE310G4I40-T). The only issue is the power use lmao, which over the past half decade may have cost me more than the router itself. A 4600GE is enough to handle it.
For under 400 aud, is a 3070 "turbo" the best graphics card I can get that fits into two slots? Power-wise, I only have a single 8-pin, which I plan on splitting to two 8-pins using an adapter from ebay.I'm currently running a quadro rtx 4000, but koikatsu brings it down to its knees. 5-10 fps in a scene with 10 characters.Or is the performance boost from the 3070 not worth spending that much?
>>108925154above quality = native, it's that simple
>>108925506
Want a 4090, but not for $3000. That's laughable. So I'll settle for a 4060.
>>108925570$3000? $4000 will get you a far superior rtx5090!
>>108925595I'd rather put that $4000 in VOO and let it ride than squander it on overpriced GPU that will be "outdated" in a year. I'll stick to reasonably priced, or simply won't buy.
I have a wireless router upstairs that I ran cat 6 to, it's some old tp link that was probably cheap garbage when it was new. What's a decent wireless router to replace it with? I notice strange internet hiccups when on that Network vs when I'm plugged in directly in the router from my fiber provider
>>108925626>"outdated" in a year.funny you put outdated in quoting marks since you know its not true, my 2080ti is still kicking

>randomly test my 2021 mobile phone which supports category 15 4TG LTE+ >get 150Mb/s download on ookla while behind a thicc concrete wall obscuring the towerYep, I definitely need a new sim router or modem that's at least going to support the fastest 4G LTE categories
>>108925760If they add beam simulation + vrr, like pulssar or simila, then it could be the final monitor.Assuming it doesn't lower brightness back to 100nits when displaying white.
>>108925570But 4090s are 1700€. That's what I bought mine for.
Has anyone here ever tried making a PC case from scratch? How'd it go?
>>108926264cutting metal is very annoying
>>108926264if you wanna maguyver something together you can, it'll just be a huge amount of labour, and objectively inferior to a mid-range case 100% of the time in every single category.And thats assuming you're good at metalworking. Which you're not.
When the PSU uses a lot of watts do you feel the air get all electromagnetic?
>>108926309No, I don't suffer from schizophrenia.
>>108926301>objectively inferior to a mid-range case 100% of the time in every single categoryIt's not about the money, I can't find a single case I like that has all the things I desire. I got an old one that's fairly close but even that one I'm gonna have to cut it up to fit my GPU and cut holes for cable management and one at the bottom for the PSU fan so it go me wondering that's all>>108926272Surely there's people out there renting out CNC machinery
>>108926264I can only see myself trying to do an open air rig. Closed case is too much of a bother.
>>108926309Chuck McGill moment>>108926264Modular 3d printed cases like picrel (https://makerworld.com/en/models/2805299-flow-full-size-atx-pc-case) really intrigue me but I'm too old, retarded and lazy to delve into that world. I bet it's a really convenient skill to have though. Want a small form factor case that will fit your parts down to the mm? Just design and print it.
>>108926351well what is the case that you currently like, like? post a pic.I remember one guy agonising over a case choice, i simply linked him a TRYX midrange case, and he immediately went for that and thanked me. I'm a big fan of my Antec Flux Pro, but i had to buy pvc mesh off ebay and maguyver it into the front of the case so the dust buildup wouldn't be soo bad.It worked really well though. You'd barely notice it cuz its the same colour too. That being said if i knew about TRYX i'd have gone for their stuff 100%.
Are the "traditional" screenmakers like LG, phillips, samsung still in the game when it comes to pc?
uh oh dlss schizo was having problems running marathon
I was thinking of selling my spare RTX 4060 but the new Steam Deck price hike made me wander: should I wait for an eventual second hand GPU market price increase before I sell mine since I'm in no hurry? Or is this not happening because reasons?I'd hate myself for vending mine now if they end up 50€ more expensive in 4 months.
Eeeyyy, guys. How much luck have you had using Optiscaler's Vulkan FSR 4 port on RTX remix games? I'd try it out myself, but I'm burned out. Is it even possible to get that working in tech demos like the Quake II or Quake ones?
>>108925760A few years ago I though 1000 Hz monitors were a pipe dream
>>108926705dude steam deck tech is from 2020 and it's overpriced as shit
>>108926705Just hold onto it both as a potential backup but also because I guarantee you it's going to increase in value. This situation is not going going away any time soon or get any better and parts are going to become more scarce as the situation continues.
Going to max out my AM4 rig with a 5800X3D. My mobo is a B550 Tomahawk with a 5700X, I already updated the bios to the latest version, will that run the new CPU? Or will I need a specific bios version to do that?
>>108926769You're fine with 7C91vA9 or newer.https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-B550-TOMAHAWK/support#cpu
>>108926793Thanks.
>want to buy a new GPU>remember the last AAA slop I played was from 10 years agohow do I justify this
>>108926821crimson desert is AAA fine wine. There's also Arc Raiders, thats pretty fun too.Also if you don't get something now, you have no idea what will happen in the future, the next gen of gpus might even be the last, and if so, they'll be absurdly overpriced.
>>108926751Irrelevant.>>108926764Thanks, that was my feeling after watching Gaymers Nexus doomposting for 3h30 this morning but I knew better than just trust an eceleb so I came here to trust a rando instead. I'll keep my GPU somewhere safe and see how things go.
in terms of 9070 XT, which one do I get?Powercolor Reaper or XFX Swift cheapest price(base price)XFX Quicksilver 5% more expensive than basePowercolor Hellhound 10% more expensive than baseSapphire Pulse 12% more expensive than baseXFX Mercury 20% more expensive than baseSapphire Nitro Plus 35% more expensive than baseI know nothing about AMD
>>108926948i had a swift and it was loud as fuck
>>108926948Reaper or Hellhound or Reva
>>108926433>https://makerworld.com/en/models/2805299-flow-full-size-atx-pc-caseLooks very good but my 3d printer is way too small for it.
>>108926886Yea what the fuck is up with that fat retard lately. He was always sarcastic but all this fat nigger is doing lately is crying nonstop about how the sky is falling. Are the people who watch him all Nvidia gooners?
Just bought an Asrok steel legend, it's being paired with a 5800XT in a very high airflow case (RV02 Raven). The hope is that the lack of a vapor chamber will aid in the inverted orientation. The 3x180mm chimney stack air cooling set up should keep the card running very cool.I am wondering about differences between 3x8 pin and 2x8 pin and performance, I'm assuming that for an older system there's no point trying to max out the GPU anyway, as bottlenecking will come into play, and my aim is to have great performance, stability and longevity.Any thoughts appreciated.
>>108926948mercury oc is the best but the biggest, they are all fine
>>108927061*9070 XT
>>1089270613 vs 2 pin makes no difference, no sane person runs those types of cards at 100%
>>108926309no anon i have ionizing hairdryer and that does not em air
>>108927061my hellhound has two 8 pin (304w gpu). i can increase it to 340w but i am fine running it stock.
>>108926948look at lgbta light color anon
>>108926848>the next gen of gpus might even be the lastNah, there will be gaming cards for the foreseeable future. Cloud gaming is at least 10 years out. PS8 might not exist though
>>108927021Well to be fair is car was broken into and his shit stolen.
>>108926948>>108926973>Reaper or Hellhound or RevaA Yeston is fine too.
>>108926948I'd probably stop at the Quicksilver or the Hellhound.Pulse @ 112% price is a ripoff.
>>108927290pulse being more than a hellhound is a rip off since the hellhound has dual bios and a switch to turn the light(s) off (based)
>>108926948I have the Powercolor Hellhound.Can't undervolt it muchDoesn't get hot so the fans don't really ramp up at all (I'm not reaching 80C hotspot at minimum RPM)However it doesn't matter because the coil whine is pretty fucking bad
quicksilver is the best priced in the list, mercury oc is the best one if you don't mind paying more, both at massive cards and need a big case and those extra supports
