you need a q4 quant on most models like qwen not to suck so it generally looks like

>>109708707
The hierarchy is pretty clear overall.
Oled > lcd. Qd oled > woled. Glossy > matte. 4>1440p. 360hz > 240hz. rgb strip > other layouts

>>109708713
Is QD Oled better than glossy Tandem WOLED?

>>109708726
Woled monitors had a lot of gray banding issues.
The newest monitors with rgb strip likely have less.
Qd oled always had better color volume than woled, the newer models with rgb strip catched up for the most part.

since new parts are off the menu for people with a moral compass, are any of you assembling builds from previous eras? like core 2 class machines and prior?

Get a 5070. I have one and I'm encoding AV1 NVENC 10-bit recorded stream footage right now and it's super fast and super high quality. Avoid AMD at all costs if you're streaming and encoding your recorded streams because their encoder fucking sucks even the latest 9070 gen encoder.

>>109709791

The 9070 GRE especially is a terrible card and that's unanimously agreed upon by everyone. 5070 is the sweetspot for nvidia. And nvidia is the sweetspot for anyone who wants a multi purpose GPU.

>>109710008
I posted the 9070 GRE chart because it has TechPowerUp's latest benchmarks.
I specifically said the 9070/XT (no GRE) is his choice.
A 5070 isn't worth $800 unless you earn money out of it, that's a value regression back to 3080 12GB in mid/late 2022.

>>109710019
Any nvidia card is worth it if you know you'll take advantage of their features. There's no genuine market competitor for all the RTX features nvidia supports like these streaming ones. If you're not going to be using these latest gen cutting edge features then buying new is dumb anyway regardless of brand. For casual gaming the used market is always the way to go, and even there nvidia is still better value because of global availability and with 80% of all the features the latest cards have. You can get a 3080 for like $300-350 or an RX 6800 (assuming you have a local seller selling one) which has aged like shit performance and features wise.

>>109710052
Except the guy didn't ask for all those RTX features. RX 9000 cards are fine for casual streamers.
Your rant about new/used cards is worthless, especially in this market where there isn't significant savings from buying used.

How shit is FSR compared to DLSS? I switched to CachyOS some time ago and got a 4070ti Super in it. Been pondering switching it out for a 9070 XT instead since nvidia performance on linux isn't where I want it to be. I rarely, if ever, use ray tracing and basicalyl ever only use reflex and dlss. Would it be completly retarded to sell my 4070 and buy a 9070 XT instead?

Except RX 9000 cards can perform ahead of any RTX gen in H.264 or H.265/HEVC.

I didn't say this. Whether someone "makes it" as a streamer is a completely different topic.
That's why I'd argue the RX 9000 card is a better value for that guy, a 5070 and "RTX features" aren't going to be the factors that draws in more viewers.

Figure $15 to $30 for a CPU cooler. It doesn't need to be crazy because it's a locked i5. I already bought a 2x16GB kit of DDR4 Mushkin Redline Ridgeback DDR4 3000MHz from eBay for $90. This a decent enough build for mild 1440p gaming if i'm willing to use shit like DLSS and what not?

Will look into that. What's the go to cpu cooler for cheap? Something with a top down cooler orientation would be nice because the VRM heatsinks on the motherboard dont exactly look robust. Plus lower profile would help fit in the case.
>>109710446
Thanks, I'll take a look. As mentioned above, is a top down cooler warranted in builds these days for VRM air flow? Or is that not really a concern anymore. I think the case has a 120mm fan mount in front and either an 80mm or 92mm in rear, so the case isn't 100% entirely without air flow. I just dont want this PC to cook itself if I can help it.

Should I buy thermal paste like arctic MX7 or is the paste included with a cooler more than enough?

have used prices risen enough that it's actually worth the hassle of selling the guts of my old 5600x build which has been sitting in my closet for a year, or maybe all the inflation is mostly on newer junk idk

Fractal released two new cases and an AIO
https://www.fractal-design.com/collections/new-products/

If you had a budget of $6k (monitor included in price) what kind of PC would you build to last you a long while for gaming and the occasional video editing (Davinci Resolve)? My current PC is an ancient i7-6700k, 32GB DDR4 (4x8GB sticks) of really slow 2400MHz. No NVME storage, single GTX 1080Ti. I have the basic idea of what I want to get but should I over build a bit? I know prices are retarded inflated. Is what it is. I need a new PC like ASAP. Was thinking something in the neighborhood of
>Ryzen 9850X3D (only $20 more than the 9800X3D at Microcenter)
>2x32GB DDR5-6000MHz
>RTX 5080
>Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB NVME
>Move my existing 4TB Samsung 860 Pro SATA SSD as backup storage

Am I in the ballpark for a build that will last me a long time? Or should I be getting something like the 9950X3D (or the 9950X3D2?).

so sick of this garbage. Also wtf is that Define One case?
>Entirely solid front panel with a small stripe of side mesh for the fans to gasp for air through
>but bro, BRO
>3x 120mm mounts bro
Fucking mouth breathers. Where the fuck is silverstone these days? Bring back the Fortress FT02, no window. Shit bring back a modern day Cooler Master Cosmos 2 with proper 200mm fan mounts.

SanDisk is more popular than Samsung for nvme as latter has an in-house controller that might not work that well under non windows. Thing is with the split of WD and SanDisk unless you get old stock of their flagship for cheap you'll have to get SanDisks rebrand that's a lot more expensive.

like I said you can really tell these radeon users dont play games if they think nvidia highlights is a steam feature. they literally dont even know what it is. even a loser with a ps4 or xbox one knows what this is since it's been standard on consoles and nvidia for over a decade.

>>109710588
man idk what tech Nvidia is using anymore. I just know DLSS was the new hotness I was hearing about back when I was still stuck using a GTX 960. I'll use whatever black magic Nvidia is packing into their suite if it means I get acceptable frame rates at acceptable fidelity.

>>109710686
because it would be even more retarded for them to use real wood. Are we seriously in the timeline where companies are using fucking real wood in cases now? Regardless. It's tacky and screams "I think I'm sophisticated"

I want to CONSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
I could sell my 7800xt for 300-400€ and get a 9070xt for 800€
and/or I could sell my 7600 for 100€ and get a 9800x3D for 400€

>>109710715
>It's tacky and screams "I think I'm sophisticated"
Better than the case in >>109710674 that screams "I'm 12".

ehh I only intend to use Windows on this machine anyway for sheer program compatibility. I have a vesa mounted micro PC I got for free with Ubuntu on it for daily non gaming use. I've been team Samsung for SSDs since SSDs really started going mainstream and they've never let me down. Call me a brand fan boy but I just want my machine to work.

it's OK to have bad taste anon. I bet you'd get this faggot wood case WITH the window so you can show off all your equally gay RGB and your waifu (which is more than likely a shitty choice, truly a disgusting whore) on whatever overpriced screen having AiO you'll undoubtedly buy. Personally I just pine for the old days of plain metal finished cases, maybe painted black if you really care. A box to run extra long cables from and put out of sight, out of mind.

>>109710715
veneer is still made of real wood.

>>109710754

None of my computers have RGB. Most of them have solid panels.

The blackout version of the Summit is only available with a glass panel.
Solid side panel black variant keeps the brown wood accents.
The Summit might be better than the Meshify 3 because of its top mounted 360mm radiator support (Meshify 3 capped to 280mm).

jfc that case would be perfectly fine if wasn't for the retarded wood lmao. Why the hard on for companies to wood accents in PC parts of all things? Asus been doing it with their Pro Art line of shit too.

Alienware will be releasing a True Black 400 rated 32" RGB stripe OLED monitor (LG Display WOLED panel) later this year.
$700 seems like a reasonable price for the improved text clarity, the TB600 stripe RGB monitors releasing next year will easily cost over $1K.

damn i kinda want to downsize my build to a fractal terra case like the rest of the itx hipsters now that i don't have a need for more than two ram spits out extra pcie lanes
my gpu/ram/cpu/slim case fans will fit in there, i just need the itx board, low profile cooler, and sfx psu

>>109708006
I'm prepping my pc to move, is it enough to unplug everything and tie up cords, or do I need to pin the fans somehow? (obviously, I'm taking the gpu out)

>AMD shill intentionally fucks up his system during slow news cycle to generate clicks
he even admits he was continuously plugging and unplugging it which of course is going to cause mechanical failure when he yanks on it like a retarded chimpanzee.

>>109711432
If you have a tower cooler removing that might be a good idea just to reduce strain on the motherboard. Also mechanical drives don't like being knocked about so I don't know if there is a dedicated way to park heads on hard drives these days.

remove the GPU unless it's really small

>>109711568
Oh I should finish reading before posting.

>>109711514
They're only rated for like 30 inserts anyway. So it's a sure fire way to kill it.

>>109711567
Those are small enough to not matter. Worst case just remove the fan if you are unsure that would stay clipped on during transport.

>>109711549
Yeah because nobody buys them - hard to catch fire sitting on a store shelf.
