>>109792780Most of the reputable DRAM kit manufacturers advertise a "limited lifetime warranty".But they can legally refund you the amount you paid for the kid back in 2024, not their current replacement cost.Get written confirmation that the working DRAM stick will be returned if the manufacturer lacks replacement kits.
>>109792854>kidWell I'm not deleting that typo.
>>109792854Kek, I would get 1/5th / stick of it's current price now.
>>109792854They can do this but to my complete surprise most of them are sending out replacement kits (sans Crucial/Micron)I guess it's the single shred of humility they can give considering they are ripping everyone off really, really hard with the "market environment" as the perfect excuse.

I'm going to need a bigger desk120lb+ of steel
I'm not an audiophile, but while I'm here I'd like to ask this.:Is there a decent pair of 2.0 or 2.1 speakers brand?Budget aroud 65 usd.Only expectation.: No static, crackling sound.
>>109792985I have an Asus Prime AP201 on my desk, and the length is 160 cm. (5 feet 3 inches (or 62.99 inches))It holds the router, modem, monitor, a pair of speakers, and it's small.You should get a bigger one.
>>109792742OHHHHHHHH>WOAHHH SHETTHAT'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE I switched from Librewolf to Brave (despite hearing Firefox now supports native HDR, what I got was RTX HDR) and now I see that HDR quality option in the video settings
>>109792985do you even need a desk with this thing?
>>109792985>Sgi tier workstation chassis on wheels>ON A DESKU wot M8?
>>109793022I already have a 63inx30in desk.It was a pretty significant upgrade, even more when I misappropriated some dual monitor arms.I'm going to end up getting a wheeled welding table/cart to work on it and it will likely stay on itI completely underestimated the weight and size and it's only going to get heavier lmao>>109793151Yes
>>109793151You would be surprised how much cleaner a pc is on top of a desk.No huge dust balls, no cat hair (yep I have a gatto) no rust due to the mop.

>>109793158>wheeled welding tableDamn, these are pretty expensive.
>>109793171This.Your PC is the first thing to suck up anything you bring in or generate before you vacuum/clean.Most of what is in my PC is fucking dead moths, the price for being a ricer with LEDs I guess

>>109793234The RAM and the GPU might be worth like $200 each
>>109793234Imagine complaining about video games only to play gachaslop like some third worlder
Am I retarded or is there no use case for x3d outside of 1080p and 50% improvement of 1440p gaming? It does little to nothing for 4k and the cache sits on top of the chips and the heatsink making it harder to cooler and thus boost for less and shorter time
>>109793332>the cache sits on top of the chips and the heatsink making it harder to coolerThey fixed that in the 9000 chips. Now the cache is below the cores.
>>109793332>1080p and 50% improvement of 1440p gaming? It does little to nothing for 4ktodays "4k" is tomorrows upscaled 720p>the cache sits on top of the chipsit doesn't since the 9000 series >why would i want a more single core performance?>see at 1080p they are basically the same...

hmmmmmm. i can't help but notice the lack of a blackwell 6000 and 9950x3d2 in the OP.
>>109793366Ah I didn’t know that. Here I was sitting all smug with my discounted x9700 purchase thinking I bested 9800x3d
>>109792944>>psu came with a came with a cable with 1 6+2 and another cable with 2 6+2 connectorsThis generally isn't advised for OC models, unless your PSU's manual explicitly state this GPU power cable configuration is supported.You should power limit the 9070 XT down to 300W if it isn't a higher end PSU, a decent undervolt should retain stock performance at that limit.
>>109793332you run more than one process on your machine besides game. the whole system benefits from l3 cache. audio straight up sounds next gen on x3d because the ram isnt copybacking every second its all processed inside the cpu.
>>109792944This 750W be Quiet Pure Power 13 M technical page shows their proprietary 2x 6+2 pin (split) power cable can safely power a 9070 XT.You need to check the official PSU technical page/manual for these exceptions.

>>109793506Any reasonable store would give you a replacement of equal value. Just pick another ramkit with same speeds.

>>109793542it has to be equal or less monetary value, doesn't even have to be same product. you can for example trade in your ram for a oled.
>>109793543>have to send them back>wait for the refund>order new sticks that are 100 euro's more expensive>be without pc for a while because i'm not some multi milionair that has spare DDR5 memory laying aroundI'll call them tomorrow and see what they offer
>>109793549Wait until you want to watch a movie in the dark.I'm glad I went with the pitch black setup.Case only has one light around the power button and even that is too much for me.
>>109793549mine doesn't. sucks to suck.
>>109793582I don't have a side window on my case so I'm not gonna see much of it once I've set up my build
>>109793531if you buy these wireview shits you may as well say your entire warranty is void
>>109793574I'm sure they'll be testing the sticks as well. That's 1.5 hours at best. RMA process most of the time is a real pain.Ask them, if they can lend you ram sticks temporarily.
MLID ran out of leaks and now all he does is yell at people on twitter, it's so sad

>>109793800Probably not gonna buy anything desu. I refuse to build a PC with less storage/ram/etc than my current build. Wanted to deputize my current PC to the living room and get a new PC for my office but that is way too much
>>109793698Never liked MLID he looks he would get beat up IRL by not so strong people.RedGamingTech is legit and would beat up MLID.
>>109793823the only pc worth buying today is a 5800x3d with 32gb hynix djr and a 9070xt
>>109793823Well, you can buy a 1tb nvme maybe settle for 5070 since its less impacted by the memory inflationdont buy the pro mobo meant for pros who saturate all the pcie lanes for 4k media files
>>109793827lmao, red gaming tech is a complete fraud
>>109793843Why are you posting from a gay iphone?
>>109793835That’s my main rig almost, but a 9070xt would be wonderful. 5800x3d/7800xt/16gbx2 3600mhzCL16/B550m The part that sucks is that this is my 5th kit of GSkill ram, I RMA’d it 4 times since late 2025.
>>109793561>(more noticeable banding etc.)Weird way of saying compression block artifacts take up an entire dimming zone if you run it lower than 1440p
>>109793835Funnily enough, my current PC is a 5800x3D and a 3080. I'm not hurting for a system but my living room pc is a bit crusty (5th(?) gen intel i7, gtx 1060). I mostly use it for couchslop and emulators with my friends and kid and some games have struggled.>>109793839I really don't think 1tb is good enough for a C drive anymore. I filled up the 1tb C drive on my current PC so fast.Thanking my past self for getting 8tb of SSD storage for pirated movies long before the storage apocalypse.
>>109793860Why is your computer powered with dark energon?
>>109793719I also stopped wearing sunglasses in real life because I hate how dark it made everything on a bright day, it felt like I could finally see everything clearly and feel the colors afterwards
>>109793873Having a 3080 and deciding to upgrade during memory crisis seems a bit goofywhat even prompted it? You didnt feel the need to upgrade when 5090 was launched?
>>109793860oh, if you have a 7800xt I wouldn't bother with the 9070xt and I'd wait for rdna5 in case you'd want to upgrade the gpu>>109793873the 5800x3d machines will make great living room pcs in a few years after the AI boom is gone and prices come back to normal and it's time to upgrade again (zen 8 or later)
>>109793776PSU tier list shows that G Series SAMA PSU is made by a reliable ODM (RSY), it should be safe to use the pigtail cables within maximum rated loads (guessing 12.5A/150W per 6+2 pin).https://hwbusters.com/psus/who-really-makes-your-power-supply/
>>109793891I knew shit was expensive from general gossip but I literally just priced up a build for the first time now. I didn't know the true extent of just how bad it was until I put that list together.Last time I bought a PC part was the 5800x3d shortly after launch. I got it and upgraded my CPU off of the 3700. I got the 3080 launch day.>what even prompted it?Game my son wanted to play wouldn't run on living room pc>>109793892It's a truly excellent chip. I don't think I've ever pegged it higher than like 40% utilization outside of video editing.
Here's the computer I put together in November of last year, and the prices I paid.
>>109793959And here it is today.
>>109793959>>109793717Grim
>>109793962the suckers paying those prices are funding the AI boom
>>109793868There will be some color banding when streaming compressed HDR content, independent to the output display.You can't cheat the math behind it (quantization error).The degree of the visibility depends on the compression algorithm & the quality/viewing distance of the output display.

RDNA5 will surely be good.>2nd rig 5600x/7600I’ll probably sell this gpu and some spare parts and get a 7700xt to put in there because fuck the 9060xt 8gb since it goes for more.

>>109794762I dunno but it wasn’t my system, i had a back up 2x8gb kit I would revert to whenever the sticks that were sent would eventually fail memtest. I’d double check the kits in a whole different system and they’d also fail. Lifetime warranty is great but I’ll never get GSkill again.

>>109795380All cards besides 5070 can be mostly ignored for the average gamer
>>109795380I remember back when the GeForce Titans would eventually perform similar to the proceeding 70 series cards. 20 series and beyond is where the greed began.
Do you guys think AI has essentially permanently uprooted the world as we know it? It's literally Pandora's box and shit is going to keep getting wilder.
>>109795440Yeah but we've seen uprootions before.You know how different peoples lives were a hundred years ago in most places globally.
>>109795440No it's just a fad.
>>109795434rtx2000 dies were hyuge which reduced yields per wafer and tsmc 7nm is about when the wafer price hikes really went into overdrive. from what I've heard, nvidia's gross margins stayed roughly constant even with the huge price increases on rtx2000 and rtx4000. rtx3000 was only able to have low msrps because samsung's process was cheap and nvidia were getting 3080-tier ga102s for really cheap or nearly free due to their contract agreement with samsungnvidia only really got greedy in the tail end of rtx4000 and mid-life of rtx5000 by reallocating wafers to AI chips and only supplying the bare minimum of dies which 2-3x'd msrp
>>109795440no, I think it's just a tool and it's not going to make anyone stops working, it's actually going to force people to work even harder and produce more and all the money will remaing going to god's chosen people
>>109795380That's not what the data says, sorry.There might be a couple of outliers, but this is over many current games.
>>109795474Tom's data seems a little suspicious to me and bad data is worse than no data
>>109795497this is with old launch drivers, the 9070 xt is faster than the 5070 ti now in most games if you look at the recent reviews
Anything wrong with this build?Will a 5500X3D bottle neck a 4070Ti Super?
>>109795542looks good to me
>>109795542it'll be fine unless you're going for 200 fps 1080p
>>109795515Only if you disable half the card.
>>109795557>>109795561Cool. Good to know I've only built one other PC before.Also, side note. Do people actually order full builds off PCpartpicker? Because I paid nowhere near $2400 for those parts. It seems like a good way to get scammed.
>>109795562last 2 game reviews on tpu have the 9070 xt being faster than the 5070 ti
>>109795542why do people fall on the am4 meme stilljust go am5 and get an actually long term platform with top tier cpu
>>109795580Odd how that happened after the crazy price increases for Nvidia cards. In my possession right now I have a 5070Ti and a 9070XT, but only one useable rig. How much of a pain in the ass would it be to use DDU to change cards and run tests?And if I run tests, what's my best game option to test with?We can run our own /g/ tests.
>>109795598Because I had a free 32GB of a DDR4 to work with, so that made it much cheaper to build an AM4 PC. And DDR4 is only like 10% slower in gaming than DDR5.
>>109795602Besides internet being full of benchmarks there isnt really a pointPeople dont buy amd gpus unless they have some random reason like they're on linuxPeople do buy nvidia because of their featureset, and saving money on buying amd doesn't get them the featureset they want
>>109795609>Besides internet being full of benchmarks there isnt really a pointBut how trust worthy are they?
>>109793938then the game is clearly shit
>>109795602run a good neutral game, so no cyberpunk, do the tomb raider game, maybe deus ex humankind because it's a dx11 game, cs2, an old triple A like returnal and a new triple A, idk which
Is Gemini right here? Is it really only 10% to 18% more FPS to go from a 5500X3D 3200Mhz DDR4 to a 9800X3D 6000Mhz DDR5?
>>109795602The "last two games" she's talking about are that dog shit star wars game that runs like shit on everything and I think that James Bond game.
>>109795291"none of my oled phones" everyone has OLED phones now, that's not the point. Smartphone displays aren't the same and OLED monitors are heavily discounted so price isn't an issue.>>109795345If anything techtubers say OLED is the greatest thing ever and that burn in isn't a thing anymore. OLED also has issues like eye strain, text clarity, durability and so forth. Again, it's supposedly high end, yet you literally have more issues than any cheap IPS monitor.
>>109794822what used markets are you referring to exactly?
>>109795715the ones that exist in 1st world countries
>>109795345>>109795692IDK why people are sore about OLED in 2026There are literally more LCD choices than ever, at lower prices than ever Is the biggest problem that IPS is no longer discussed as a performance option?
>>109795873It's not about IPS or VA or whatever. It's tiring and funny at the same time to see techtubers and people online mindlessly repeating oled the best thing ever, when it's still riddled with problems. You literally can't keep the same wallpaper or taskbar without having burn in, you need to refresh your display every few hours, the slightest scratch completely destroys the display... all this for minimum double the price of IPS. It's peak consumerism slop
>>109795213I had first gen qdoled and I'm now on fifth gen qdoledThe difference in heat output and image retention/burn-in at the lowish 100nits brightness I use is night and day. My first monitor had noticeable 16:9 darkening (it's a 21:9 ultrawide) within a month while my current monitor still hasn't had it after 4 months
>>109795953>a monthproblems in just 4 weeks, lmao. All this for a flagship price>4 monthslet's see in 3, 4 years. How much did it cost you by the way?
>>109795455Interesting, I wasn’t really familiar with that side of things. Good info anon thank you.
>>109795598>just spend 30% of your budget on ram for 5% percent gains at 1080p bro
>>109796000Going am5 You get 7800x3d/9800x3d which are slightly better than am4 cpusa more modern platform that gets updates, support for zen 6 cpus too+ the better ram on topam4 is simply a waste of money in 2026
>>109795981The first monitor I used for 3 years and it still looked as good as ever, i.e. still 100x better than any random matte IPS.The image retention I mentioned previously was a nitpick that could only be seen with a worst case dark grey screen
>>109796026100 times better? Get real. It looks substantially better, especially on cherry picked cases, but the tradeoffs just kill any advantage it has. It would definitely be worth the price if it wasn't for the ridiculous humiliation rituals like forced pixel refresh or purple tint.
