I LOVE this company! Christ, the entire PC rebooted. Right during loading of my Firefox profile as well, so all cookies are gone and I have to re-login everywhere. FUCK AMD.

Just finished my first build since 2011 and things are definitely more annoying than back then. Graphics cards are monsters now and you can't even tell whether they're in the pcie slot properly, just have to hope for the best. They also take 3 psu cables as well as cpus needing their own dedicated psu cables which makes cable management much harder. Oh and I now have a sag bracket because graphics cards are so mcfuckhuge they collapse under their own weight. Motherboards all have huge heatsinks on them which restrict access when in the case - so you have to do even more things before moving it into the case. There are more fans now and they all have usb leads so again cable management is a nightmare. Since analogue ports have been resigned to history it's harder to do that initial boot and setup as well. I think the only thing that has improved is cpu fan installation with the mighty thumb screw.

>>109718576
fans are much less annoying now if you get fans that can be daisy chained

all this effort to do stupid shit instead of just making all the cores work the same so you can do smt

>Fresh insider information from well-known leaker Kepler_L2 indicates that AMD is targeting operating clock rates for its upcoming RDNA 5 GPUs in the range of 3,1 to 3,4 GHz. The flagship solution for the upcoming series will be the graphics card Radeon RX 10800 XT, created using an advanced 3-nanometer process technology. Its die will feature three times more compute units and nearly four times the memory bandwidth of the previous-generation RX 9070 XT. Hardware ray tracing performance per compute module will increase by 100%, guaranteeing a stable frame rate at 4K resolution.

>Power consumption of the future flagship Radeon RX 10800 XT The power consumption is projected to range from 350W to 450W thanks to the transition to a modern silicon node. Considering that the current flagship GeForce RTX 5090 outperforms the RX 9070 XT by approximately 82%, AMD's new development at such high frequencies will be able to outperform the current leader by 30-60%, and in resource-intensive scenarios, it will demonstrate a two-fold advantage. Engineering optimizations to the die will eliminate previous limitations in processing geometry and shader arrays. Such a massive technological leap for the RDNA 5 flagship could fundamentally alter the balance of power in the global discrete graphics market.

>Against this backdrop, Nvidia is exploring the possibility of delaying the launch of the GeForce RTX 60 series and supplying Blackwell dies for three to four years, allocating silicon wafer production quotas to hardware AI accelerators. As a primary technical response to this competitor, the DLSS 5 scaling algorithm is being prepared for release. However, the current flagship RTX 5090, priced under $5000, consumes approximately 600W and continues to experience frame rate stability issues above 120 FPS, significantly increasing the market potential of the new RDNA 5 microarchitecture.

It's never been this over Nvidia bros

$500 wouldn't buy any actual component upgrades, so if it has to be pc related and spent immediately:
-i kind of miss having a UPS. my previous one died a while ago but it's hard to justify a new one for the couple of times a year the power flickers from a windstorm or whatever.
-My pc case fans are a janky mess of partsbin fans that i've accumulated over the years from mostly old cases, but they still spin so it's hard to justify replacement.
-A beefier PSU to handle zen6 or NVL's increased core counts, my psu is just adequate for my current build and I keep fucking myself and having to upgrade it with each new build. This is one thing that could be upgraded ahead of time with the given budget.
-A nice mouse and keyboard. I generally don't care about peripherals much, so enjoy them when I receive them as gifts but they always tend to not last very long and I end up back on some el cheapo logitech shitters.
-Replacement caster wheels for my chair. one is janky and i've been too lazy to buy replacements and fix it.
i like my headphones and speaker setup so that would be a consideration too but i'm set there.

Everyone is praising and focusing on the AOC U27G4XM right now for the price and HDR performance but I really want to see what TCL is doing with their IPS tech, on top of how the QD layer looks. AOC monitors have always been blurry as shit for me so I feel hesitant about buying another one of their monitors besides the one I already have.

Only two reviews I've seen so far on the internet that are as in depth as Hardware Unboxed as of this time, but (assuming none of them are paid shills) they have given me the confidence to check this thing out for myself and see if the local dimming algorithm is as bad some others have claimed, or whether that 4-5ms average initial response time with no overshoot is actually real.

Right as I write that post my monitor goes black for 3 seconds for coming back as though my GPU or driver just crashed. WTF is going on? My 5070 has been doing this ever since I started rendering some stuff and running prompts, especially after the UV + OC setting was toggled though occasionally when just UV'd.

I opened my side panel just in case and my power connector is exactly where I left it, same with the support leg. Started doing when I tried taking screenshots or just moving my mouse, like some game of red light green light. No hardware log errors either. Alt tabbed, flashes black 2-3 times for 3ish seconds again.

you should watch some videos that compare mini-led vs IPS vs oled.
mini-led looks identical to IPS for noisy high contrast scenes, because it's the exact same technology but with a low resolution backlight (sqrt of 1000 zones = 32x32 resolution). Apple has had mini-led's in their laptops with 10k zones for like 5 years (technically 2.5k zones but 4 led's per zone), but more zones creates a more sharper and unique halo instead of removing the halo completely (but the Halo is not really noticeable unless you are in pitch darkness, the cameras makes IPS and mini-led's look worse than they really are).
apple is moving to oled macbook pro's late this year (completely dropping mini-led's).
The reason the macbook pro needs mini-led is because it's bright as fuck. OLED's historically are dim, and if you had to compare a dim OLED vs a IPS, the IPS looks better in a bright room if the brightness is higher (at the same brightness, the color is mediocre, but the "blackness" is identical if both are matte coated). But now OLED's are bright.
OLED's will burn in, but I think if you buy a 1440p monitor, you are going to buy a 5/6k monitor within 5 years anyways.

I spent like a week of doing research to get myself up to speed on the latest tech and going around retailers contemplating the question "ok but do I actually need to buy a new screen right now or can I just get by this fad if I pull out my old CRT or focus on my work"
Initially I was going to order the AOC U27G4XM but had some second thoughts to try out this TCL screen since I know I can afford to at least try it out and return it if I don't like it or need the cash for something else
The brightness is what really appealed to me though compared to just buying something like a 27U-10 from Lenovo, I work in a sunlit room by the window as much as being a night owl so Mini LED seems like the best of both worlds even if it's limited by zone count, and it will probably an obsolete display once we get higher dimming zone count displays hitting the market since they cap out at 2300 right now
>(sqrt of 1000 zones = 32x32 resolution)
Not bad on a high resolution display, though even for 4K that's going to be like 83x83 pixels for one zone which is not great on a 1440p display either
>you are going to buy a 5/6k monitor within 5 years anyways.
I looked at those too for shots and goggles but thought they utility at 60Hz for most of them was rather limited when I also want to do stuff with them within my current savings
>OLED will burn in
Can't let that happen for long periods of static content, automatically filters out OLED and if I'm spending this much money on a CRT substitute I might as well get something that works for work too

what's the catch because a 5090 costs about 4 grand right now

is it permanently glued into the motherboard or something

I love my 5070

>>109721092
TI right?

Any new upcoming CPUs or GPUs worth waiting for? My PC is nearly 8-9 years old and I need to upgrade soon. Mainly wanting to upgrade from a Ryzen 2700X cpu and RX 5700 gpu. And I'd like 64GB of RAM, which my current PC has 32GB, but that'd be adding on an extra 300 or so probably. But god damn any time I put together a new build I actually like it's $3000+. Might as well take my chances on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace for something used.

>>109721098
No regular 5070 for my silent micro atx build. Undervolted it barely uses 150w in games at 4k.

>>109721080
when prices increase dramatically prebuilts can lag behind and there are sometimes ""bargains"" like that
its happened a few times, notably back during one of the crypto booms people were buying prebuilts with 3080s in them to rip em out and sell for more than the system cost

there is no way a 5090 is worth $3600 more than the 5080 right

>>109721310
just buy from a local store that has warranty why would you even risk it

>>109721336
its probably not a scam but the risk is if the card stops working in a year or two you wont have a standard manufacturers warranty and you are going to have to try and get after sales support from aliexpress.

the 5090 is a 32GB VRAM card and the 5080 has half that.

>>109720681
You are acting like OLED is expensive but in reality it's the same as the mini-led if you get the 1440p cheapest one you can get.
Yes, the cheap one is going to burn in faster because it's previous gen, and it's QD-OLED which is the worst for a bright room (woled is ideal but we are still waiting for the budget gen 4 monitor, you can get a $380 RWBG gen 3 woled on sale but not sure your country has the same sales), but it's still going to last 5 years, and it will last a lot longer if you live with the burn in. And note that mini-led still has the potential of having one of the zones fail (bad uniformity / just having the whole backlight pixel die). This isn't a burn in issue, it's just the hardware failing, just like how an LCD might have a dead pixel.
Unrelated (you don't need to read this): I got a dead subpixel on a AOC ips monitor, and the warranty did not apply unless more than 3 subpixels are dead... but later on, I got RMA'd it due to a different failure related to the controller, But since they ran out of stock, they replaced the 24" 1080p to a 27" 1080p, pretty happy with it because it was just before the 3 year warranty ended and I did not need to pay anything (technically 27" is 20% more expensive because the shipping is higher, nobody should ever buy a 27" 1080p monitor), but note that I hoard all my boxes for everything that is under warranty, which means that If I did not keep it, my monitor would not fit inside of the 27" monitor's box for the return (I don't know what would happen if I didn't have the box).

>>109720818
Probably have a ton of stock left of DP1.4 connectors they insist on using on monitors it's insufficient for. Not unlike how ASUS were shitting out 1440p165HzHDR (not vesa certified of course, they'd fail miserably) monitors with shit DP1.2 ports that couldn't do more than 120hz with HDR on without downgrading to 8-bit with dithering.

AMD is doing an excellent job because they are outperforming intel using dogshit silicon.
intel was using overpriced 3nm silicon for every CPU after 14th gen. Now they are moving to 2nm silicon for nova lake.
Meanwhile the 9800x3d is using 5nm fabs that were upgraded to produce 4nm.
Now... if AMD just keeps on using 4nm for their am6 socket, I think they will cook intel in price because the better silicon does not offer any performance improvement, it's all just power efficiently because the mobile chips and desktop chips share most of the same design, the better silicon are given to the mobile computers (unless the yields are really good, the desktop chips might also get good silicon that could run at a low wattage at lower performance).

>>109721102
we're getting kind of close to new CPU generations from both intel and AMD which should be out early next year. I'm sure you'd rather just hear they aren't worth waiting for but from what's known they're looking to be the biggest deal in a long time because both companies are making large architectural changes to address their relative weakpoints:

Intel is adding an x3d style huge L3 cache which should make their CPUs actually competitive for gaming for the first time in forever, and AMD is bumping their CCDs from 8->12 cores so core counts for each segment are going to increase for the first time in forever.

>>109721517
>You are acting like OLED is expensive
I don't see how considering 1440p 240Hz OLED's were cheaper than this monitor
>and it's QD-OLED which is the worst for a bright room
Which is ironic considering the film is supposed to help with making it look better while it is brighter, no idea how it'll look on a desktop monitor though since my only experience with OLED is through my phone AMOLED(s) and whatever is in retailers on televisions, won't deny though nothing ought to beat this 5 year old AMOLED on my phone for how nice night time scenes look
>, it's just the hardware failing, just like how an LCD might have a dead pixel.
Even my BenQ PD series isn't immune to having at least one, kind of wish I still had the proof of purchase laying around for it
> they replaced the 24" 1080p to a 27" 1080p,
They actually tried doing this when I RMA'd my 24G2ZE to my local retailer because of a power supply issue (audible buzzing from the power cable) and initially they proposed replacing it with a 27" 1080p VA panel instead of another IPS, which they eventually replaced it with
So there might be one reason to go with a more established brand over a newer one

intel's released some enthusiast darling chips over the years, but that does make me consider that with a few exceptions generally intel is remarkably eager to overcharge when they think their products have an edge, and even when it's close or they're behind they try to position themselves as the premium option.
By all accounts novalake seems like it's going to be a hell of a chip and I can't help but think their pricing for it is going to go right back to "wtf" levels once they aren't getting absolutely bootyblasted by amd.

Then get a 3080. Any AMD card that isn't RDNA 4 is mostly paperweight nowadays because they perform like shit in new engines with mandatory RT and shit like that especially the RX 6000 series which struggles hard in UE5 games and similar engines. Upcoming games like Witcher 4 and stuff will be using UE5 and won't fair well on those older and inferior RDNA architectures. Whether you like it or not that's just the reality of where things are headed. Nvidia 30 series and above are good at handling these modern engines. And with such an old and relatively weak card in 2026, you'll be using upscaling if playing at 1440p anyway and DLSS is the cream of the crop. The RX 6000 series doesn't get FSR 4 till next year and nobody knows what the performance hit will be like yet either. So the 3070 is the best option of the two by a distance. Ideally get the 3080 10gb (or 12gb if you can find one for a good price but they can be expensive because they're more rare) if you have a suitable power supply for it (750w or above).

native 4K is going to be the standard very soon if it isn't already. any card that can't run games at native 4K is DOA.

You don't need to play at native 4k when modern upscalers are so good even when at the performance preset and they're only getting better with time. DLSS 4 and 4.5 are basically indistinguishable from native and FSR 4.1 is not far behind.

>>109723589
This is a fundamentally flawed result because dlss has a sharpening pass which makes it sharper than native + TAA.

>The "soft" and blurry image you are experiencing with DLSS in Resident Evil 9: Requiem is a known issue caused by how the game handles Path Tracing (PT) and Ray Reconstruction (RR). When you enable Path Tracing, the game automatically forces an older DLSS/RR Preset D, which heavily blurs the image and creates ghosting artifacts, especially noticeable around the flashlight or in dark areas.

>RE9 has a bug where changing upscaling settings mid-game doesn't re-initialize the denoiser properly, leaving a grainy or soft filter over the screen

Notice the quiet zone sign on the wall on left in the distance, or the black lines on the floor. You can see which is which with the fps counter on the top right.

>>109723638
Go look at the most popular games and quit being retarded.

>>109723755
The one on the left is noticeably better. look at the textures on the stair railing.

>>109723729
You can still build a PC on a budget with minimal effort if you just know where to look or what to look for. You don't even need to look that hard.

>>109723756
it's all the newest goyslop that all require fancy computers to run well

>>109723606
Native with TAA looks worse than dlss quality upscaled
Blame ue5 for destroying image quality

>>109723765
oh yeah a crap potato piece of crap that runs games at 540p 10fps lowest settings. what a deal

>>109723764
No it isn't. You're literally missing details in the distance which don't show up properly at native 4k vs DLSS performance which is 1080p and providing a 166% performance increase. Balanced and quality DLSS will be even better.

>>109723771
just get a 5k monitor and turn TAA off.

>>109723773
That blur is because the character moved during the screenshot not because of the upscaling. The motion blur applied to the top of the screen because the gun was there a few frames before.

>the hardware required for it is ~$5000
A minuscule pittance compared to actually expensive hobbies.
>you have to change it every few years
You don't.
>how do all these people get to afford it?
Because it is a pittance by comparison, it is possible for the middle class. The ones who complain the hardest are those in poverty who feel they are entitled to the bleeding edge.

>>109723778
5K is not a base 2 multiple of 1080p. fake resolution

>>109723787
720p is the original HD res.

>>109723784
>A minuscule pittance compared to actually expensive hobbies.
MUCH better things you can do at that price. gaming was better when it was $300-$500.
>You don't.
you do. $5000 every 7 years is already over kill, every 2 years in insane. worst part is that if you don't have that money you're forced to play shitty old 10+yr old games nobody plays anymore

this hobby is supposed to be for people who are too poor or stupid for anything else.

What are you talking about? You can get used 3080s for £300-350 and that completely smokes what's available in consoles like a ps5 pro which costs close to £1000. That leaves you with £650 to get CPU combo bundle and a PSU all of which are cheap as fuck except for ram, but you can still find cheap DDR4 in many places or as part of a combo bundle with like a 5600 or 5700.

>>109723800
left one is sharper.

your mother is disappointed in you running porn mods on video games.

>>109723800
Literally look at the quiet zone sign in your own image nigga. It doesn't exist at native 4k. It does at 1080p with dlss. How is this going over your head unless you're purposely being obtuse.

>>109723827
DLSS is proving more detail on the floor, are you blind? Look at the black line on the left and the right. It doesn't exist on the left, it's resolved perfectly on the right even at a 1080p internal resolution.

>fake details are good why dont you get it???
youre never ever winning against this retard
he unironically thinks ai is some wizard shit and if you dont like it/use it youre some amdfag or poorfag

>>109723849
Even amd fans are hyping fsr 4.1 to the sky and back so that's no longer an argument

>>109723856
not even him but bottom is way clearer look at the sign

>>109723856
image comparisons with compressed .jpgs is useless

>>109723876
>the AI hallucinated the real detail
Psychic AIs is the true magic that Nvidia created. Thank you Nvidia.

>>109718015
would a 12600k bottleneck a 5070ti?
I guess it would

Man I just want 16gb vram for ai memes, I don't need the performance that much, I'd get a 5070 but its cucked with 12gb vram
>inb4 9070xt
I would, but I guess rdna5 or whatever its called is for the next gen only, also muh DLSS

>>109723856
Bottom is obviously DLSS as I mentioned before because it's resolving more detail

>>109723897
probably an amd fan who didnt get the memo about fsr 4.1 because theyre supposed to love ai now

>>109723876
>Saved in highest quality possible, that has nothing to do with. 0% compressed JPGs are the same as PNG.
You are compounding lossy compression by making a .jpg then making another comparison .jpg of the two different images.

>halves your framerate:

Nothing personal kiddo.

>>109723900
5070 is fine, don't buy into these fearmongers who claim your pc will crash and burn without 16gb because give it a year and they'll say 16gb isn't enough. Just be mindful of your settings and more likely than not, any settings which cause you vram problems will be extreme settings which probably won't run well even on a 5070 ti anyway like path tracing.

>>109723927
except you could easily make the images lossless but are too mentally handicapped to do so.

>>109723928
>Halves framerate on 5090
>Rtx6090 delayed to 2028
>Rdna5 releasing in 2027
They're doing everything they can to make Radeon succeed

>>109723928
>1/3rd fps on 5080 and 5060ti at 4k
Holy shit

>>109723957
>1/3rd fps on 5080
So my 5070Ti is probably even worse...

>>109723940
RDNA 5 is also using neural rendering as part of FSR Diamond so the performance hit will always be there, and RDNA 5 won't be 5090 levels of performance anyway.

>>109723965
Rdna5 AT0 will be at least 1.2x 5090 performance

are HDDs and DDR4 ram back to being affordable yet?

>>109723957
yes, 4k is still a meme

>>109723503
comfortably running AAA currentgen games with maxed out settings was never a poorfag hobby

the closest it ever got was the x360/ps4 era and contemporary PCs which was arguably the golden age of personal desktop computing

if you're fine dropping settings to medium or running last-gen, older titles, or indie stuff, gaming is a poorfag's wet dream even now

>>109723503
skill issue

>>109724040
>if you're fine dropping settings to medium or running last-gen, older titles, or indie stuff, gaming is a poorfag's wet dream even now
ew who the fuck does that?

the WHOLE POINT OF GAMING is to play new titles to increase your social standing, be hip and culturally relevant, and show of and brag to others and have things to talk about. why the fuck would I waste my fucking time playing shit like witcher 4 or fallout 4? everyone's moved on.

dropping settings to medium is also cringe. why pay all this money just to play at PS2 level graphics?

and indie stuff is gay and not legitimate.

>>109724063
*witcher 3

>>109723972
Not in the current GPU climate. It'll be 5080 at best to cater to console performance since RDNA 5 only really exists because of console requirements and specs. AMD won't go any higher because demand for their cards barely exist outside the midrange.

4k projector or 5090/6090...
god damnit, why is dlss5 so majestic, thought i could coast on my 3080 for another decade.

>>109724063
(You)
trying too hard anon, you're supposed to be at least a bit believable when shitposting

>>109724071
the only reason I'm even remotely considering an nvidia card at this point is to reasonably run local ai bullshit because fucking ati is massively lagging behind in that field despite having objectively better hardware

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ-flbvMflY

>>109724094
no seriously. why do YOU play modern games, anon? there's no other reason. nobody in the world plays games for "muh fun". that shit is cope and a lie

>>109724100
because it's just reshade?

>>109724071
AT0 is a 512bit monster built on 3nm with a far better uarch
It won't just be 5080 (0.67x 5090) performance, that's delusional

>>109724227
It'll be an enterprise card with 32gb+ vram. Nobody is buying that shit for gaming with how much It'll cost from the ram capacity alone. Assuming any of that is true in the first place. Amd has forfeited the high priced gpu market segment.

Kinda feels like the PC building market is on its last legs. Will we even be able to build PCs from new parts in 10 years?

>>109724319
You'll have to use a 4gb ram mobile phone in the future and experience games made with chatgpt being played by asmongold and streamed into your device at 480p
maybe the wealthier folks will buy a google cardboard for immersion

>>109724319
there is still plenty of old hardware left if you really want to play something. got a 9070xt right now but i could probably play all my games on a rx 480 4 or 8gb.
