what about the input lag when it's forced to 60hz? I wanted to be able to use it with my switch 2 alongside my new PC
I'm also really worried about how fragile and scratchable the screen is
I'm just hesitant because all the new revisions that address those issues are minimum 200 dollars more which feels wasteful

>>109173766
idk about input lag, it goes up naturally from lower hz
theres no gorilla glass monitors out yet, use a monitor cleaning agent with microfiber cloths to clean it

>>109173776
that monitor in particular apparently has input lag at 60hz that's a lot worse than other monitors in that class
if I'm dropping a grand on a display I really want it to be perfect

>>109173797
theres no perfection in our world
I dont think you'll notice the input lag in practise.

Its an oled so brightness isnt infinite and bright scenes in hdr gaming will cause it to do brightness limiting.
Its not matte so it has that going for it.

but again, if you want the best monitor theres a 360hz 4k qd oled coming out later so if you feel like paying for it go ahead

>>109173797
>if I'm dropping a grand on a display I really want it to be perfect
The problem is that they don't make them perfect on purpose to fuel consumer purchasing, screen technology has been around long enough that they unironically have already perfected it, like the lightbulb, but the problem is that they work too well and over time they run themselves out of business and destroy their own demand.
So they make them cheap and out of inferior components to make you buy more than one.

>>109173819
I'm pretty sensitive to input lag so it has me concerned
I just hate the idea of being unhappy with it and wasting a good deal
I still haven't hooked it up yet but I'm already psyching myself out looking at other monitors
>>109173824
I just hate how fucking retarded the naming schemes are for everything
it's impossible to keep track of and I'm only learning the details of what's actually out there after I already bought that one (mainly learning there's two newer revisions with 1 fucking character different in the name)
i just don't know what to do anymore

there will never be a perfect anything, that's why you buy the most cost effective option and not the most expensive, always, with every hardware purchase.

Been using it for half a year with no issues

>>109173976
ASrock was/still is cooking CPUs, specifically the 3D versions. They've issued like 5 BIOS revisions supposedly "fixing" it, but was never confirmed and apparently ASrock is just a bad choice.

>paying $350 for a 5800X3D 10th edition
>CPU from 2022

either AMD managed to put lightning in a bottle with AM4 and their 3D chipsets, or we are truly just stagnating in the gaming sphere. Anyways. I bought a 2x16GB 3200MHz kit of DDR4 from eBay for $140. I'm going to pair this combo with a 16GB 9060 XT, and get 3x 1080p IPS monitors. Wish me luck boys

>>109174013
the 5800x3D is really only supposed to be for upgrooders, a standard 5600 is fine for that card but the X3D is best in slot for gaming especially for 1080p.

Moores law being dead has slowed us from being rid of 1080p, but as soon as path traced 1440p hits 60fps on the 50 series card is when 1080p will be over.

>went from AMD FX-8350 CPU, R9 Fury X GPU, and 250GB Crucial SSD to 9950X3D, 9070XT, and Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB NVME SSD

Man, what a night and day difference. I've only just recently gotten back into gaming on PC and was using my PC almost exclusively for code compiling and rendering amateur photos/videos. I only bothered to build a new PC because the water pump on my GPU started dying. PC is so good my CPU is rendering projects almost 5 times faster by itself than my old CPU and GPU working together were.

>>109174127
>fury
I wish AMD kept going with HBM on their gpu's. I feel like they gave up on it too early.

>>109174159
I loved the GPU and HBM modules are really cool. I also liked how small the card could get because of it. Imagine an ITX length/profile GPU from the modern 9070 GPU line with 12-16GB of HBM. Honestly it was a solid enough performer even in the modern day for what it was. Gaming was a non started of course, but Davinci Resolve still used it as best it could. I had to tread a fine line otherwise I'd get "out of memory" crashes and errors.

>>109174042
this is a good thing tho. now that secondary and tertiary timings will be set for you, you dont have to pretend they dont matter.

>>109174046
It hardly matters when just about everything is a console port with some degree of baked in blurriness.

No, let's hope it doesn't come to zen, it's not worth the trouble.
>new low power cores are going to exclusively run background OS processes and background apps the users assigns like steam, discord, spotify
Needs to much software, it's not happening. Also you would want to to work the opposite, only allow a few applications on the P cores, such as a game, so it's the exclusive user of them.
But then there's no need for E cores to gain the benefit from this. It would be just as useful for any multicore CPU throughout history.

They are not going to make a better scheduler, plus a good manager, capable of this because it's too hard for them (They can barely make a scheduler as it is) and the benefit would be so small.

>>109174313
>people are actually buying 380€ 5800x3d in 2026
yeah but that is so they don't have to buy 2000€ ram

>>109174313
I accidentally bought SanDisk Optimus GX Pro 8100 for full price just to learn afterwards they are only rebranded wd black 8100 due to WD and SanDisk splitting up with latter only being half the price.

even if ram was cheap there would still be little reason to upgrade from a 5800x3d
maybe when zen 6 comes out and next gen games are optimized for it because of the new consoles using it then I suppose so but even then I would wait for zen 7

Expo 1 is the maximum tested speed. Expo 2 is a lower rating for better compatibility or if your unit has just degraded significantly over time.

>>109174313
>people are actually buying 380€ 5800x3d in 2026
>>109174328
>>109174345
Yep, if you had something like a 5600x or 3700x, even with ram at sane prices it would be a good buy: It would cost $300 (80%) at least more for 9800x3d + mobo + ram but it's only like 20-30% better

am4 is such a great platform, im tempted to pick another 5950x

>>109174352
Other way around. XMP/Expo1 is compatibility mode with the mobo, expo/xmp2 is ram manufacturers timings. You often get xmp tweaked too which is even higher performance.

>>109175313
>For daily usage there isn't a lot of difference between m.2 and sata.
I don't know what you mean by daily usage, but transfering from sata to sata is significantly slower than from nvme to nvme.
I almost bought another nvme drive in order to extract archives from one nvme drive to the other, since it is way faster that way

>>109175454
>edifier X100B
But that's a 2.1 setup. What happened to the speakers? Like I said any edifier active bookshelf or desktop speakers should work. You will need active speakers with either RCA in or an y adapter cable with 3.5 in, alternative use a splitter from your playback source

I am such an indecisive fuck.

its not that windows drivers are better, its that linux is running with a handicap. there's a overhead cost to using dxvk or vkd3d as its translating all the calls from directx to vulkan in real time. the avg fps goes down but you get a lot more benefits like shader stutter free gameplay thanks to aco.

Games engines are gonna have to use tricks like SER more frequently to reduce RT/PT cost and even then there are only so many more low hanging fruit left. Hardware units that improve RT/PT performance also improves raster so there's no getting around the RT/PT cost

>>109176260

>>109176419
raster cannot just keep going up forever because you will reach a point of being cpu bound so rt/pt can theoretically close the gap

just generate the whole game via ai you subhumans
it still won't make them worth playing or fun

>>109176449

>>109176449
don't forget that RT/PT is much more cpu intensive than raster since it needs the cpu to calculate the bvh tree

>>109176247
It was 800usd when I bought the ram, now its 3000.
I'm surprised they haven't put fan/etc connectors right at the cpu via extensions. I guess it's not feasible to cables for fans in the motherboard itself across all that cpu and ram traffic.

They do, but they're still different to the normal version.. The transparency in the material is different and they just cheaped out and flipped the fan, kek. So it doesn't match up.

I was rushed in the order, so I thought the motherboard was a sidemount for the cables like I've seen before. But it's mounted in the back of the keyboard, I thought I had fucked up but all of the holes cleared out luckily. Highly recommend, gigabyte aorus stealth.

But that's exactly what Asus Q Connector for AIOs is. I didn't have to use a single cable for my AIO just slot in the special connector before installing it. Only the cable at the radiator is visible you have to use when you aren't using the q connector. It's patented so you will only find it on high end Asus boards and AIOs sadly. MSI had some cable solution with a special plug but it's not as elegant.

Microcenter has a bundle that only comes with a single 16 RAM stick. Strangely, it costs $50 more to NOT get the RAM stick with the bundle. Microcenter also sells that exact 16 RAM stick by itself as well for $200. So for $550 I can get the 7500X3D, B850 mATX motherboard, and 32GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM.

Went with the 9070XT. I'll see what I can run on it as far as image gen goes, but I'm not expecting much. I use OpenRouter for my text gen and NovelAI for image gen right now anyway, so it'll make no difference from now if it's shit.

>>109178040
mobo manual doesnt return any matches but google ai says some "smart fan" option might work, but it might be a hallucination

>>109178070
I'd just have a poke around in there tbf. Might be called step up/down/time depending on the manufacturer. Basically makes the board wait a second before ramping the fans up/down so that those random workloads don't spike the noise. Obviously don't do this if your cooler is tiny.

>>109178052
>Went with the 9070XT. I'll see what I can run on it as far as image gen goes, but I'm not expecting much.
huh

You'll be fine lol. I do image gen on my 6950xt. comfyui handles memory really well so you just change how you launch it. If you get out of memory (oom) then try --lowvram or --novram (which doesn't mean novram lol). They can help you adjust.

your card will be waaayyyy faster than mine lol

>>109178168
Well that's reassuring.
Looking online I just saw a bunch of nay saying. I'll copy/paste the memory stuff for when I try it.
Thanks anon.

>>109178183
This is how I launch comfyui. Your exact command will be different. Like will you be using conda instead of venv? idk how things work on Windows, but I think this stuff is in the bat file.

source ~/comfy-env/bin/activate

TORCH_BLAS_PREFER_HIPBLASLT=0 PYTORCH_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True TORCH_ROCM_AOTRITON_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL=1 MIOPEN_FIND_MODE=FAST CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 python ~/ComfyUI/main.py --lowvram --preview-method latent2rgb --disable-dynamic-vram

You definitely won't use hsa override. I need it because the 6950xt isn't officially supported. I think on --lowvram and --disable-dynamic-vram are relevant to you pretty much, but showing you how it looks on Linux, in case you go that route.

Like the --preview-method latent2rgb is a fast preview method, but it doesn't look as good as taesd, which requires that you install the relevant file for it.

comfyui usage that is nice needs to set the output folder and file based on date. Otherwise, it's a mess.

Always remember that Google search ai is pretty good and free and knows everything about your gpu and comfyui.

The possibility of running ml upscaling on older amd gpus really shows how poorly planned this whole gpu business is execute on amd side.
They could've made the ml upscaler in similar timeframe as nvidia but a gen behind.
They could've put the resources in to create model and support it for rdna 2 at launch, they Should've done it for rdna 3 at launch, instead its 15months behind rdna 3 launch and more for older cards which get it in 2027

Ofc this is just lack of manpower, differnet priorities but they lost the game to nvidia with their strategy the entire 2020's.

I know this brand is notorious for creating absolute dogshit all around, power supplies that explode and what not, but a case I'd like to think would be hard to fuck up. So, any opinions on Gamdias Atlas M4?

But I like building PC's because of warranties. But the RMA process can be mid, and you should keep the boxes around unless you know you don't (if they ship a replacement so that you can use the box to ship the broken part back).
If you don't play AAA games, you can probably just buy a macbook neo for $700 and use crossover for most games, it's runs as good as you would expect a iphone 16 pro which is like $1000+? And it has a real battery life so you can actually use it for laptop things, plus not windows.

>>109174046
If it's just for CPU benchmarks I guess it's reasonable, since any gpu that isn't obsolete ewaste is going to not care and it'll more or less be based entirely on the cpu clock speed. We'll probably be stuck with 1080p being on gpu benchmarks until all the poorfags eventually pick up on 1440p in a good 10 years or so. Even a budget card like the B580 is marketed as a 1440p machine, and you'll still have some poor retard bragging about 1080p being fine as if he just upgraded from a 1366x768 display for the first time.

>>109175148
Why even mention windows? They're bad in general for OS drives. Arguably still better than HDDs, but trash. A DRAMless is best relegated to secondary program/game drives.
The bit where windows is relevant here is without the DRAM cache, you're going to find your system slowing to a crawl at random when the standard search index crawl, virus definition update/scan, windows update, etc. job runs, entirely because the C:\ drive is being hit and ramping up the average response time.

My motherboard on my NAS died, it’s a 1155 (3770k), all I’m finding are strange chink brands for purchase. Can someone spoon feed me something that has the biggest amount of SATA ports and isn’t going to die in six months? Or should I just slot in my other backup hardware and retire my 3770K. I would rather not, considering the price of RAM now and DDR3 being good enough for a NAS.

You don't need graphics for a headless system. Some mobos have a setting that allow this. I just don't know of any AM4 one that support this.

It's like $36/tb, which is (unfortunately) pretty reasonable these days for smaller drives. I'd just snag it.

How hard is it to find an nvidia card at MSRP these days?

Thanks for the honesty, I just want to have a pack up for all my NES to PS2 games I downloaded from Myrient before they shut down. I bought a 6TB WD Black internal earlier this year and have things on it, but you know back ups and all. I originally bought a 8TB Black from Amazon, but those fucking retards sent it without any packaging and slapped the shipping sticker on the retail box so it was broke when I got it. I just bit the bullet and got the 6TB($20 less but I wanted that extra 2TB) one since I wanted a HDD I could physically get from somewhere. I fucking hate Amazon when it comes to computer parts so much. I will say as well that the P10 design in white is very cute for my tech "fashion" aspects I enjoy.
