hi lads, its me from the previous thread

>>109077307
fair critique. will it have an impact on gaming/AI related stuff? I have been lurking a little on the last thread and there seems to be a big debate on 5070Ti vs 5080. My friend managed to get a black friday deal on the 5080 for £999 - is there really much difference between the two card?

>>109077441
interesting - will it have any impact on gaming if i do this? for AI usecases, does the VRAM stack like that? sorry for nooby question, im still self learning all this. my thoughts were that the 5090 would be "best" because of the 32gb VRAM for running good local models. desu, i will most likely be learning while using it so i suspect that it may never be fully utilised no matter what i do

>>109078739
valid critique. im needing to balance cash vs build. it will be my first pc building after a long time, im not sure if i should be going in so strong from the beginning, considering all the responses from everyone else but you're right. most of these games and models are like 200gb so 2tb might not be enough.

I genuinely dont know enough about this stuff to know who is talking sense and who is just defending what they have bought themselves. I dont currently train models or do serious workstation stuff. Want to just buy and build once so that I can have something that will be generally quite good / high-end in 5y+

Is a 5090 genuinely useful for someone interested in local AI or am i falling into the classic consooooomer mindset?

https://www.techpowerup.com/349972/amd-explains-fsr-4-1-upscaling-for-rdna-3-promises-quality-parity-with-rdna-4

>What about RDNA 2?
>For RDNA 2, the situation becomes much more complex. First, RDNA 2 hardware lacks dedicated AI accelerators within the GPU microarchitecture. This means that RDNA 2 GPUs will rely on the Stream Processors in the GPU configuration to power FSR 4.1 upscaling. As a result, the raw GPU compute, without any additional AI compute, will be responsible for the upscaling model. This requires a great deal of optimization to make the process work efficiently. AMD claims that making FSR 4.1 upscaling consume fewer shader cycles is very challenging. Therefore, AMD is taking more time to optimize this but plans to launch support sometime in 2027.

And since its so raw compute heavy process they're not talking about igpus at all

What's happening here? Am I just allergic to IPS or something?

>>109081741
I assume the 7500F is just a placeholder because you're waiting for Zen6 X3D?
in which case I would go for option 1

>>109081906
No, well depends on use case.

Generic gaming pc:
nvidia 5070/5070 ti is preferred
9800x3d is cheaper, youd get the 16 core cpu if you needed it for productivity.
ram is same as the prebuilt
hdds are a bit redundant unless you hoard movies and I guess youd save money by getting a 1tb nvme

With building it urself theres mobo manual, you can use your phone to watch a youtube video instructing the building as you go.
You have the advantage of buying a proper high airflow case, a noctua AIO.

>>109081932
>nvidia 5070/5070 ti is preferred

>>109081911
You are probably allergic to shitty led backlight. If you have money/time to burn you can try some ancient CCFL IPS, professional wide gamut RGBLED, OLED etc to see what exactly triggers it and what to avoid in the future.

>>109081932
>Generic gaming pc:
>nvidia 5070/5070 ti is preferred

>>109082085
>where im getting it 5070ti is 200 more
eh, its worth it. You get no better raster perf, but you get a better upscaler that can make the image look nice from a lower base res, and 6 x multi frame gen which effectively smooths out the image.
Nvidia gpu software support is legendary while amd stumbles from release to release.

>>109081911
I don't know but we've been getting scammed with monitors our whole lives.
CRT to LCD was acceptable because flat screens are cool.
but TN being abandoned tech, and now OLED, disposable hardware meant to be replaced as frequently as a laptop or phone, is the new standard, just...

>>109081911
Lower the brightness. One of the first thing I do with IPS is reduce the brightness down to 10% but it depends on the scale the monitor is using. The only monitor I had troubles with was a mini led VA as white Letters all had some rainbow effect on the edges. The tandem woled I now use has also slightly harder to read letter compared to IPS but it's good enough

>>109082097
alright swapped a few things 9800x3d, 32gb cosair 6000mhz ram, 1tb ssd, 4tb hdd, 5070ti £2680

>>109082169
>>109082176
>is there a huge difference between 9850x3d vs 9800x3d?
in gaming they perform the same
in a full core productivity workloads 16 cores does the job in half the time vs 8 core.

If you plan to run 16 core cpu on productivity tasks often consider buying a newly released noctua AIO since they're the quietest and coolest.

Id get 850w psu

so is that Wireview pro from thermal grizzly worth picking up if I plan on getting a 5070ti and undervolting it?

>>109082180
its just for gaming and other minimal tasks, why a 850?

>>109082186
psus often have an optimal range and during workloads 850 is slightly more efficient
gives headroom for future update + the difference in price is not that much more expensive usually.

>>109082169
9850x3d is like 0 to 5% better in gaming than a stock 9800x3d but it depends on the game. It could be more in rare cases. However from what I've read it has like 30% increased power consumption.

>>109082193

the 9800x3d is good enough. Not sure how much better zen 6 will be for gaming or if it's worth upgrading later or next year. I wouldn't leave it on stock though as you should be able to increase boost clock by 200 Mhz while setting -15 or higher if it's stable curve optimiser on all cores but you'd have to test how good your silicon is with e.g. cinebench. I wouldn't recommend setting the PBO scalar as some guides suggest.

Yeah the whole "50% utilization at max load" thing is a holdover from the days of Double Forward units. Modern designs are pretty flat from 10-100%; pic rel, note the Y-axis. However, seeing as this is a high-end build, it's perfectly reasonable to give it some headroom for noise reduction.

Anywhere from 650-1000W would be technically fine. The important part is that there's little price difference between 750 and 850. The benefits of lower noise and upgrade potential are well worth £15 on a £2k+ rig.

>>109082311
>layman term
The RM850x pictured is 93% gooder at converting energy coming from your wall socket to energy for the computer, at 1/4th its maximum power rating. At 3/4 its maximum power, this efficiency drops to 91%. It basically doesn't matter.

Get what is enough to power your system. The more unused extra power you have the less noise it will make.

>>109082854
PTM7950 is paste, it's just a phase-change one so it solidifies and liquifies with temperature changes and is generally very long lasting due to that unique composition compared to thermal paste.

threadripper will have pcie 6.0 which makes me very hopeful that zen 7 consumer chips could also have pcie 6.0 which would make it a far better long term investment generation, pcie 5.0 will be very slow by late 2028 when it launches
the chinese need to start making pcie 5 x4 to pcie 4 x8 adapters for current gen already and in the future pcie 6 x4 to pcie 5 x8 or pcie 4 x16 adapters, that would make consumer boards far more interesting for home servers in the future

His results seem fine to me, he's graphing decibels aka noise where noctua is king while tpu is noise normalizing(putting everyone at the same noise level).

I want to build a new PC.

Provide specific use cases: gaming, coding maybe some SWE or data related stuff cuz I'm a math student, also I want to play with AI
State BUDGET and COUNTRY: budget, 20k -25k MXN for reamining parts. Country Mexico
I already purchased 32 gb of ddr5 in case prices shoots up in value, so I'll have a budget of 20k MXN for the remainign parts. I also want to upgrade from a GTX 1660 to an rtx5070ti or rtx5080 in the future. I may go dual GPU for PhysX. I don't want AMD, I think they are great but I'm looking for a more balanced rig.
Heres a build I requested to an LLM.

Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus — $6,409.00 (approx. 375 USD)
MSI Z890 Gaming Plus WiFi — $4,039.00 (aproxx. 260 USD)
Corsair HX1500i 1500W — $5,362.00 (approx. 311 USD)
XZEAL XZ160 Full Tower Black— $1,349.00 (approx. 78 US)
MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 360mm — $1,599.00 (approx USD 92)
Total: $18,758.00 MXN (approx. 1100 USD)

I don't care about aesthetics I prefer price and performance. Also the currrent pc storage will be used for the new rig.

Does the build provide the best price to performance given the price or can it be improved?
Is the build ready for an RTX5080 and dual GPU? I know they are big, but I'm not sure if it will fit on the case.
I don't intend too overclock, I'm fine with the manufacturer tunning options.

I'll keep an eye for any suggestions, I don't have much information regarding brands and which ones to avoid.

>>109086788
Run latencymon and use your computer for like 2 minutes then stop it and check out the dpc/isr of each core on the CPU tab. The two biggest source of interrupts are likely going to be your Mouse and GPU in the driver tab. You put your USB controller the mouse is plugged into on the core with the least dpc/isr usage. GPU is a bit tricky as theres one specific core it works best on and it's different for every system but you can refer to CPPC in Hwinfo64 or Ryzen Master to give you a hint of your best core and then put it on that. Put GPU to high priority and make sure MSI limits are set to 1 on the devices you change.

yeah I was looking to do exactly that. Funnily enough I think my job will give me a discount if I buy in bulk because it makes it so they don't have to work to resell it themslves. Was considering grabbing the remaining GPUs as well. 8GB 4060Ti's are selling for around $300 on eBay.

If your gonna install consumer windows 11.
Install education, way better than home or pro

i do want to update my windows but lets pretend im retarded and want to install new windows: i have a usb flashdrive but
will it overwrite the windows im on now, if not then how do i get rid of the windows i have now

>>109087964
depending on options you either format the drive or it creates a legacy windows folder that has the old files but wont be used as boot data

>>109087976
i have an sn850x 2tb so i have enough space but i dont know how to actually delete an operating system and i dont want to have it taking up space id never use again. do i just buy a new gpu

>>109088007
formatting the drive the OS is on removes all data on it
if you want to save data you can create partitions and move relevant data to a partition you wont format during os installation
you can find the option in disk management, on win11 at least

That rationale doesn't make a difference. The attribute being graphed around is decibels. If Noctua has made a generational leap in AIO heat exchange performance then they would be better on both graphs. Look at Canucks' graph again; you can read it as noise normalized just by looking at the spread of temperatures along a vertical line at each decibel level.

There is a discrepancy, everyone else can see that. If HardwareCanucks tested their LC1-36 and got 65C at 40 decibels, temperatures BELOW the best result of the 2nd place GA II Lite Perf which can spin up to 47dBA, then it is directly disagreeing with TPU's testing that says that 7 other AIOs can reach a lower temperature at 45dBA.

In this scenario, the unknown factors that could contribute to this is the exact heat generation method (is one of them not soaking for long enough?) and ambient temperature (perhaps Noctua's LC1s have better performance ceilings with lower air temps).

thank you for being kind and informative. i dont have anything to lose on here but man its going to suck reinstalling games or whatever. what does reformatting look like? lets say i already have win11 on a flashdrive ready to install, how would i uninstall the current windows im on?

>>109088049
look at video on win11 installation, the options will be pretty obvious

>>109086306
Canucks is fat
I don't trust reviews from fat people

>>109088059
i watched one but it didnt mention overwriting, is that automatic

>>109088070
its the format option

>>109088059
>>109088070
when i say automatic, is it going to overwrite the massgrave one i have installed

>>109088075
is it going to ask me if i want it to overwrite it or not, then it will delete all my old windows?

>>109088093
if you click format during installation it deletes all data on the partition

>>109088101
ooooh ok i wasnt exactly sure what format meant, that makes more sense. again you've been a great help and i thank you. someone said educational win11, was that you or which do you recommend

>>109088130
win11 home edition has some limitations that may be frustrating so pro/edu can be useful
you'll need to activate it afterwards obviously but theres free ways to do that, or cheap keys on asian sites
you need to type in your microsoft acc during win11 installation so beware

>>109088151
strictly gaming i should have said, thats why i went with the IOT LTSC in the first place haha. dont want all the extra crap. guessing home standard user should be more than enough

>>109088173
theres sandbox feature that isnt on home edition, useful for pirated games
then theres group policy editor which can impact some things people generally want to do which is randomly disabled on home ed

>>109086653
what the fuck is this?
