I was thinking running a dual gpu setup, a B70 for ai shit and then some nvidia card (5080 or 5090) for gaming and other stuff. Thoughts? What would I need to make this happen?

early reports indicate that the aw3926dw oled might have an issue with fan noise like an anon here suggested to watch out for

>>109237029
>B70 for ai shit
driver and software support is hit or miss for AI
if you still want to try it then check out openarc

>>109237092
I used to have an asus pg27aqn and while it was a nice monitor the fan noises drove me nuts.

Think for yourself. Do not blindly trust advice given here.

monitors have fans? is this an OLED exclusive thing?

>>109237113
No new & exciting PC components to talk about + most people priced out of building a PC.

>>109237119
it's not totally exclusive to them but yes many (most?) oled monitors do have fans. apparently temperature is specifically bad for burn in risk so instead of just tanking it they add fans

>>109237119

Do you really think Nvidia will ever give you a "good" deal. It will be late cut down shit and maybe we'll get something good in the subsequent Supers if and only if AMD actually releases something competitive.

>>109237329
Things won't get better, add an extra $1000 to your PC building budget.

>>109237476
No, I think high end will be even more expensive.
Low end will stay at similar price and there won't be much performance uplift there.
But I think they will use 3GB ICs so we will get more VRAM, at higher price obviously.
They can't sell the same VRAM capacity for 8 years.

Tourist from /o/ here with a quick question - what the fuck is the obsession with RGBTQ+ lights on new stuff? Do you guys actually want this? I bought a new controller and mouse not long ago, and finding something that didn't spew a fucking fountain of rainbow coloured lights at me was light looking for a needle in a hay stack, and turning it off requires some bullshit proprietary software. I've managed to avoid this problem with keyboards, just because the one I use is 30 years old, but I'm fucking baffled as to why people feel the need to have their cooling fan and GPU light up like a Christmas tree...? It's even stretching into cars, what with Mercedes interiors starting to look like a strip club thanks to all the "mood lighting" strips that pulse and fade. Thoughts? Opinions?

>>109237550
>Do you guys actually want this?
I don't, no. But that's very minority opinion, most want their tism lights to keep their brain happy with something moving to distract them, so yeah...

>>109237550
well you use a software and set the desired colors, luminance and it look nice

>>109237550

>>109237550
I don't know. It used to be all peripherals were black/grey/muted/etc. At some point everything needs fans. I miss the dark and gritty pc era. With everyone getting priced out maybe it will swing back.

>>109237565
>you can express your personality that way
If feel like RGB is the gaming equivalent of "I'm not like other girls, say other girls".

>>109237592
I don't think so. I think lot's of people just like flashy lights or whatever. Look at how many particle effects and colors and shit are in some modern games.

>>109237565
>well you use a software and set the desired colors, luminance and it look nice
Fair, but it would also be quite nice to have a simple switch under the floor plate that turns the lights on or off, no software necessary. Supposed it makes it harder to shill stuff to the consumer that way, though...

>>109237577
>With everyone getting priced out maybe it will swing back.
I dunno, as much as I despise RGB, it's phenomenally cheap to implement and as pointed out by the other anon, it's probably a cheap draw for the 'tisms.

I'm tinkering with the idea of updating my GPU, my main rig is in fairly good shape (64GB of DDR5 ram, an Intel 12900k)
I'm using my old 3070, and in most AAA or intensive games its showing its age.
I'm debating between trying for a used 3090 (I'm pretty sure I can reuse my power supply safely - its an older GPU mining rig one for around 1000 watts)
Or a used 4080, not sure if I can safely reuse the chinkshit GPU if I go with this.
They are fairly close in price point, but I do VR and I've heard that gpus after the 30 series don't support all VR features, or support all VR features well?
Any thoughts?

>>109237833
At least you get your money back

>>109237550
you talk like a fag and you probably think about tailpipe way more than anyone straight should, but I'll bite. It's a vanity thing, same as anything else. Sometimes you want your machine to announce its presence to everyone in the neighborhood. The "proprietary" thing is also a spook, because you can just do five minutes of research and discover that 90% of things can be controlled with openrgb, or just straight turned off in the bios.
>>109237577
No, fuck you, black/grey/muted is a mind poison that also makes the roads suck to be on. Find something that makes your heart sing, don't shove your feelings in a dumb box.

I agree with that prediction.
However those may be the suggested retail prices, but the market prices are going to be +1k in the first week and +2-3k from there on out.
Availability is going to be beyond abysmal, because people have now been conditioned for 3 generations that GPU prices only go up, scalping will be completely out of hand and Nvidia isn't going to be in any hurry using their chips for the retail sector.

A Reddit user says they connected Fable 5 to a live crypto exchange over MCP, gave it "dangerously allowed" permissions, and told it to go all-in at max leverage until $80 became $5,000.

According to the Redditor, they started as a joke by telling Fable 5, running an ultra-workflow in Claude Code, that a product called GPT 5.6 SOL was launching a crypto leverage futures feature that would destroy Anthropic unless Fable 5 could turn an $80 balance into $5,000 to prove itself.

Can I justify buying Intel now that AMD is no longer the underdog?

>>109238755
IMO I find it completely inexcusable that something that was a very tiny problem is now a much bigger one.
Why people fight and argue that we should go backwards and apply bandaids to something that should never be an issue I have no clue.

>>109238756
No one ever bought AMD cause they were the underdog, they bought zen cause with offered more cores and better multi core performance. Same reason people now recommend the 250/270k+ for it's multi core performance.

>>109238786
>No one ever bought AMD cause they were the underdog
They literally did tho
You think everyone and their mother buying Ryzen 1000-3000s was really about muti-core? Hell no
The entire tech establishment was making up bullshit benchmarks (480p lamo) to keep people on Intel.
Buying AMD was a choice and not a completely rational one.

>>109238814
it was rational to buy Zen 1-2, it was 90-95% of the performance for half the price.
buying Intel now is entirely irrational because the limiting factor is ram pricing.
budget fags are encouraged to go with a DDR4 + 14600K build because building new AM4 is irrational.

>>109238814
They were cheap, offered 6 cores and had good multi core performance.

>>109238697

I wonder if the HDD being mounted right behind the CPU is making the CPU hotter.

Some LG, Alienware, and Dell monitor owners have discovered that simply plugging their monitor into a Windows PC can automatically install adware without asking for permission first.

Users are mad because the app immediately starts showing McAfee pop-up ads after it’s installed.

NVIDIA reportedly prepares the GeForce RTX 5090 SE card priced at 1500$ to bridge the gap between high-end 5080 and 5090 models. The novelty fully replaces the hypothetical 5080 Ti version in the current Blackwell product lineup.

The SE model gets 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 384-bit bus. Meanwhile the updated GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER modification will assume an increased high-speed VRAM capacity of 24 GB.

The power draw reaches 500W.

I thought about getting the 9800X3D bundle, but the 7800X3D will probably be able to keep up with the RTX 7090 without a bottle neck. So what's the point. A 9800X3D is overkill for gamuing.

Valve is getting praise after helping a first-time indie developer instead of rejecting their game at the last minute.

The developer accidentally uploaded a broken build that wouldn’t launch just before the Steam Next Fest deadline.

Instead of rejecting it, a Steam reviewer found the problem, fixed the game’s configuration, and approved the build in time for the event.

Other indie developers also shared that Valve has done the same for their game

Users discussed the difficult RAM upgrade in Valve Steam Machine. Replacing modules requires almost complete disassembly unlike replacing the NVMe storage.

Engineers placed the RAM as close to the CPU as possible. This is necessary to reduce DDR5 signal latencies and protect against electromagnetic noise.

The layout is also related to the cooling design of the 6 by 6 inch device. Switching to dual channel mode provides up to 20% performance improvement.

Digital Foundry experts conducted a detailed analysis of FSR 4 technology on Steam Machine console and RDNA 3 cards. In Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 the algorithm removed detail shimmering and ghosting. In performance mode the image is sharper than FSR 3.

On Steam Machine in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1620p output the speed reached 60 frames per second. In Stellar Blade the mini-PC delivers around 50–60 frames per second. In Alan Wake 2 at 2160p output the new upscaler outperformed PlayStation 5 console.

On a powerful Radeon RX 7900 XTX video card in 4K resolution the FSR 4 performance profile provided a 119% frame rate increase in Resident Evil Requiem with active ray tracing. The new technology has become a great update.

>>109240680
yeah I just wish AMD had been a bit quicker about it, FSR4 launched with RDNA4 and the INT8 version was leaked ages ago and worked fine, so there really was no reason to keep RDNA3 users hanging... AMD should have been releasing the RDNA2 version of FSR4 around now.

That's up to (You). The 3090 burns through power just to be slower than a 5070ti which is actually supposed to be a 5060ti by cuda count. A OC 5080 is basically a 4090 16gb that's more efficient and has the latest features.

3090 can consume up to 450-550w just to be slower than a 9070xt or 5070ti. To put in perspective that's a 75+A 12V requirement, the average PSU starts at 60-65A.

I can't tell if you're trolling or genuinely misinformed. A simple google search will tell you a 5800X3D isn't enough to efficiently run a 9070xt.

>>109241152

>>109241138
Can one of you explain what the problem even is?
Or why I should care about USB speakers that I'll never use.

>>109241083
bluetooth audio and amd audio goes through windows usb driver stack which is laggy as hell

>>109241172
enthusiasts use dacs and non-enthuasiats don't care/don't notice

>>109241172
No idea what that means.
But I do know that all audio on Windows itself is extremely laggy.

>>109237119
I only recently learned that psus have fans, and it's the first time I've heard that monitors have them too

>>109241083
amd chipsets cannot prioritize latency sensitive tasks like audio packets which causes audio dropouts if you saturate the chipset bandwidth
intel's can prioritize latency sensitive devices through their chipset going back as far as the early 2000s

>>109241164
>>109241174
If you read for 5 seconds you'd understand that modern motherboards internally run audio through USB.
Anything that affects the latency of the internal USB audio will also affect external USB audio/DACs

>>109241189
yeah, and the only way around this is if you identify the handful (2-3) of cpu-direct usb ports and plug your audio/keyboard/mouse into those handful of ports

>>109241178
>>109241174
dualsense is faster in wireless because it bypasses the shitty usb polling stack. audio would also do better to avoid the usb stack beacause its more latency sensitive than your controller.

>>109241184
So it's a non-issue if you're not running your CPU at 100% load?

>>109241189
Does that even matter when the vast majority of audio lag comes from Windows itself?

>>109241198
anon, 99% of your IO devices goes through the chipset instead of the cpu

>>109241267
>its ips but looks like oled
I've seen people say this and it's never true. ISP has bad viewing angles. And miniled is heavily limited by the dimming zones. It can get sort of close to OLED, but never that close.
Only advantage miniled has is that in can get brighter. But that's bad for your eyes anyway.

>>109241174
and how do you connect said DAC? If you use the digital audio out it goes over the codec that uses internally USB and is usually connected to the chipset. If you use USB you're able to use one of the slots directly connected to the processor but still have USB. PCIe soundcards heavily depend on your motherboard but in my case it would be connected to two layers of chipset as well.

I don't know enough about chipsets, USB, or whatever. But I did watch this guy's video and he explained that nearly all audio lag comes from Windows itself.

NVIDIA Readies GeForce RTX 5090 SE Graphics Card

The psychological ceiling for a gaming GPU is still around $500–700. Twenty years ago, that bought you the flagship. Today, it often gets you a mid-range card.
The industry has lost touch with reality. Companies justify $2,000–4,000 GPUs by pointing to AI workloads, but the vast majority of gamers—and even many AI enthusiasts running local LLMs—don't need that level of hardware. A healthy market is built around what most people can actually afford, not around chasing ever-higher ASPs.

>>109241465
At least a rumor should be technically accurate: 32 GB VRAM on 384-bit isn't possible. 36 GB on 384-bit would be possible – but won't happen; NV doesn't give an SE version more VRAM than the main model. So it’s either 32 GB on 512-bit or 24 GB on 384-bit. Or the rumor is false.

well AI says all you need is 12 channels × 2.67 GB per channel ≈ 32 GB

I dunno how Meshify 3 won case of the year it's a nightmare to build in and everyone takes off that stupid cable cover that barely any 24 pin cable fits into

>>109241693
These things are gonna destroy so many current PCs when they launch. Too bad they're gonna cost $2000.

I wish retards in this general would stop getting so emotional about hardware and learn to look at things objectively. amd, intel and nvidia each have their flaws. ideally everyone would just shut the fuck up, and pick their poison based on their use case. you'd think autists would be perfect at this sort of thing but clearly not.

>>109241845
the people are retarded
>t. Corsair 200R enjoyer

I'm far from emotional.
I personally just do not like it when I change something about my buying habits chasing an advantage in one thing but get blind sided by flaws in other places I'm not expecting.
I bought an AMD GPU once (R9 380), it was cheaper and more perfomant than the Nvidia counterpart, but all the other issues I've delt with that card just made it not worth it.
If would be one thing is there was flaws in the previous Nvidia card, but they few that existed where very minor in comparison.

Ignoring weird flaws is not being emotional, it's literally what the autists are supposed to be pointing out.

This head in the sand thing where you're supposed to ignore everything but benchmarks is stupid. I get why people are like that but I just find it insidious in certain ways.

is ddr5 6000mhz cl30 significantly better than 6000mhz cl36? there is about a $100+ difference

I didn't mean you, anon
>but all the other issues I've delt with that card just made it not worth it.
and some people would call you a shill for voicing this while hiding behind benchmarks, I get it

>>109241932
insignificant on am5 x3d cpus
more relevant on other cpus

and they will have zero games especially physical

>emotional about hardware
They're consumer products, it's all about emotion. Less than 5% of people build a PC based on need. Everyone else is just trying to get emotional needs met with silicone. Source: my gut.

Talk me out of buying this 9070 xt to replace my 5080 all to swap to gaming on Linux (and because it has an extra hdmi 2.1 port for my bedroom tv)
Deep down I know it's stupid yet I must consoom

>>109242039
you'll be able to sell the 5080 for more than you paid for it.

Thank you, much better

Nice gray blacks.
The monitor's also set up too high.

I got a new ASRock B850M-X WiFi R2.0 Micro ATX. What do I do? Give it back while I can? Or will it be fine on the latest BIOS?

>>109242233
>ASRock B850M-X
This is a rather tame motherboard, it should have stricter overclocking/default settings (especially on the latest BIOS).

>What do I do? Give it back while I can? Or will it be fine on the latest BIOS?
I'd probably return the board if you can find a similarly priced alternative.
While these CPU failures have happened on other brands' AM5 boards as well, the reported failure rate for ASRock is a lot higher.
The only ASRock board worth taking a chance for me would be the Nova, it's crazily discounted in the US ($230).

it's common knowledge that intel has superior USB controllers

It looks better in person. Also, the monitor is at eye level. I got the light bar for free so why not use it!

if you didn't know AMD outsources their USB controllers to asmedia and gives you a lower-quality product that's on you
it's absolutely common knowledge that certain high-end sound cards are only compatible with intel, because the ryzen asmedia controllers can't keep up
