>>109844971
Right, 8gb is basically a stupid amount that should be illegal.

It actually WASTES vram.

4gb is plausible for standard desktop uses. 8gb is insufficient for any use. Very stupid, shouldn't be an amount sold.

nvidia has committed many crimes against America, that's but one of them.

I got a new pc with a 1070ti and applied mx-4 thermal paste. also got a new monitor, but since im going for maximum longevity without having to maintain it. not that I recommend it, its just my personal preference since I'll be very busy soon. I capped the 144hz monitor to 60hz and cap games at 60 fps. ever since I did that, my idle temps dropped from 37-38C to 34C while load stays the same technically, maybe better but didnt test on demanding games.

now my question is, is this actually counterproductive and will lead to faster pump out/issues or not a bad idea? since I've read that pump out is caused by temperature swings, so for example from 30 something to 70C. so im wondering if this causes a bigger temperature swing leading to faster pump out. sorry if what im saying is dumb I don't understand how it actually works.

There isn't much point in preserving a 1070ti. An aircooler will make your system more hassle free and won't hurt it's lifespan. Unless you plan on seriously overclocking your stuff which wouldn't make sense, since you want it to last.

That’s an extremely hostile post. In plain terms, the person is saying:

They strongly hate AI, which they blame for making PC components more expensive.
They had saved/planned to buy a PC with their own money and are frustrated that prices have risen.
They’re expressing that frustration with profanity and a homophobic slur (“faggots”).
“I hope AI faggots die in a ditch” is an explicit expression of wishing death on people they associate with AI. It reads as rage/hostility rather than a specific, actionable threat, though the wording is still abusive.

The underlying complaint—AI-related demand affecting hardware prices—is a separate factual question from the hateful way they expressed it.

>>109846312
You have analyzed and broken down that text perfectly.

You accurately separated the user's emotional outburst and harmful language from the actual structural issue they are complaining about.

To look at the factual core of their complaint without the toxicity: they are referring to a very real tension in the technology world right now.

Idk what people hope to achieve crying about AI
Its a mathematical certainty that ai systems would be built when hardware became cheap enough to do it. Companies were throwing billions at it a decade before it became mainstream.
And since its useful to have the AI tool people pay money to buy access via subs
That means everyones incentivized to build as much compute as possible since compute translates into revenue
That means shortages for compute hardware

nvidia cut back on geforce supply since the start of the year, and AI farms are buying 5090s by the truckload, so we're back in the same situation as the crypto boom of 2020, but maybe worse since supply is also dwindling

The time to upgrade is now, expensive RAM means DDR4 will be relevant for as long as RAM is expensive.

I have a conspiracy theory now after testing this 13 days later than I should have, that HDR and QLED monitor makers make sRGB SDR modes less accurate and more washed out on purpose to sell HDR which they then blow out
Or maybe it's just clipping as an unavoidable consequence of clamping the color gamut somehow and native srgb panels somehow are more accurate for SDR work

Have an RX6600.
"Upgraded" to an Intel B580 last year but that was the worst PC experience I've ever had. I only play a few games, and Intels drivers were so fucking atrocious for all of them that my PC was blue-screening, games were stuttering, frames were dropping. Absolutely fucking horrible.
Wasted so many countless hours fully reinstalling windows, trying different driver versions, every single combination of game settings, unplugging other hardware to rule out other causes, swapping PSU, contacting Intel support, all for nothing.
Eventually just put the Rx6600 back in and gave up on the b580. PC immediately went back to being rock solid and perfectly stable.

Fuck Intel for selling "good" hardware with such horrible drivers.

Any thoughts on secondary nvme storage drives?
Specifically the with or without dram cache.
I'm looking at getting a secondary drive for games, downloads, videos, etc. My understanding is that a drive with a dram cache would be better at handling the transfer of large files at its advertised speeds, whereas a drive without would go to a crawl after a defined amount of volume of transfer.
Now, I'm sure it would be nice to have, but the difference between both drives is €200.
There is a part of me that just says "go for the decent spec, you'll own it for years". But is it worth it?
Thought?

>>109849138

You never know what you will reuse drives for after their intended use changes. If you can afford it, DRAM is useful and you should signal to the market that consumers are still informed.

buying higher quality storage devices, even if you don't use them 'correctly' at first, is its own reward.

The only time i ever cheaped out on any storage, was a Team Force ssd, it died within 6 months. I now only buy high-end samsung, WD or corsair drives into the future.

It was FAR too big an inconvenience and potential problem, as when i submitted the drive for warranty, they didn't fix it, just refunded me, and i had reams of important data on that drive, scans of my ID's, tax returns, banking data, i was pretty pissed. Who knows what chink or jeet holds that drive, or scanned it before destroying it.

B660/760 + 13600/14600 or similar CPU. That combo will be under $300.
Only downside is the power draw out of the box you need to set proper power limit yourself.

>>109849693
nah but maybe a cpu could and it just feels better to space out big purchases desu. Plus I could vibe check how my pc performs with a new gpu
>>109849701
at that price i'd rather just upgrade for future proofing more

>>109848887
yea probably just need a bigger case but fuck it, third 120mm fan won't fit on the front 360mm rad because of the little PSU enclosure having 17mm clearance, but I might throw a little thin 15mm one in to help a smidge. I very much doubt a custom loop on gpu block and a separate aio on CPU is even remotely normie by any community's standards though kek

If you are willing to spend 4 times as much go ahead.

The monitor has fantastic motion performance and input lag, but that does not excuse the lack of a usb port to allow for firmware updates when your programming does this shit even after OS calibration
Not like you could buy the MSI model though, long since discontinued and the only example in the country left is in a showroom 250km away, along with the good ol' AOC U27G4XM, and that is pretty much it for availability unless you take a chance and order a monitor through Amazon somehow in which case you have the KTC M27P6 available for the same price

My ultrawide QD-OLED is already scratched.
And I'm beating myself up because I should have just caved and bought the $5,000 5090 so I could have actual AI capability instead of this 5080.

Now I have to spend another $1,250 on a new monitor anyways.

Maybe I should just kill myself.

really? how?

>>109850160
I used a microfiber cloth but I forgot that once you have a QD-OLED microfiber cloths need to basically be considered disposable, and you need to spend like $50 on a stack of 10, which you throw away immediately upon use.

I'm also just a lazy clumsy ogre and I don't deserve to own nice things.

Just switch to Mini LED which is superior. Just take a look at macbooks, black are as dark as on WOLED panels with no downsides and those are actually HDR capable, cause of peak brightness capabilities.

the best qdoled comes with a matte, matte is an option for monitors (prescratched)

Kind of defeats the whole point of using 4K for everything though

What really pisses me the hell off is that China has had 2300~ dimming zones mini-LEDs in the price gap range for like 2~ years now but EU powerdraw Laws dont allow many of these minileds in the EU either, like Q27G4ZMN or whatever the VA miniled is called with 1152 zones, as much as the lack of USB and firmware updates for this monitor

oh and all of these have the same panel just with different tunes, for all we know the acer is the same meanwhile the TCL monitor is literally packing superior hardware being held back by the bad firmware and factory calibration for HDR
maybe there just are no good options period these days and mini LED is a disappearing market because manufacturers LOVE that OLED only lasts like 2-3 years before needing full replacement, so maybe you should keep it anyway despite the problems lol

>Tom's Hardware is an Nvidia bot.

Are we really at the point now where AMD people won't accept anything but benchmarks that disable half the features on an Nvidia GPU in order to benefit AMD?

So apparently the reason why the TCL monitor has such better response time and lower input lag is apparently because it uses QD film instead of phosphors, all the HUB reviewed monitors use phosphors which means they have pretty sluggish response times closer to 10ms compared to 2-5ms for the TCL monitor
God this is all so fucked

This is a fairly cost optimized DDR4 build, spend the extra £300 on an NVIDIA GPU if you really need/want it.

Well I fixed the skin blowout issue because I fucking forgot to turn off the fake HDR in the game on top of disabling the gamma expansion but the increase in blue as brightness goes up on elements and washout in medium tones in films (probably because of film grain if I had to guess) still concerns me
I don't even know what to do anymore to be honest because I could probably play HL2 in full like this if it was just gifted to me and enjoy in earnest
Peak sustained brightness is also around 700 nits which is only 100 less than the KTC m27p6 which even that hits 800 so actually eh

I got until 2 PM to decide on commitment issues

Doesn't really matter. I know since that setting is off by default on ASUS and Gigabyte boards.

The fans on my Dark Rock 4 Pro are finally starting to go ;_; I've had it since my 10900f build and now I'm using it for my 9800X3D so I'm not mad except that the middle fan is some retarded size that's not easy to replace with an exact match.

So should I even bother replacing the fans or just get a new tower like the Phantom Spirit? The cost to do either seems like it would be about the same. Is the Phantom Spirit a better cooler? Thanks for reading my blog and helping.
