I already have a build with a 9800X3D and a 5070ti, but wanted just a bit more performance and longevity. I think prices will just continue to rise and wanted to rip the bandaid now. Selling my current PC for minimum what I paid because that was built before the price spike too.

the AIO q connector is probably one of the very few asus gimmicks I like. The fans are fixed on the radiator as one unit with some cables for an extension you cannot, or shouldn't pull off but that's just some minor thing. AIO lighting you can control via the motherboard manager of the x870e refresh boards but only simple stuff, not sure if you can control the GPU lighting somehow other than Armory Crate I cannot recommend to install or third party software like OpenRGB. Idk if I would get the LC IV again with the Noctua AIO around though I'd prefer it in black. Maybe ProArt will release something with the q connector in future.

>>109882458
I have the Noctua AIO sitting next to me and I'll probably return it unless the LV IV is shit. The Q Connector is a cool feature definitely and part of the reason I got this cooler.

I have a 4090 which is enough since I play AAA slop rather rarely and 3440x1440 runs alright meaning I can get away with DLSS Quality in almost everything.

Here is the ultimate reality. AMD cards are superior. Why are AMD cards superior? Because ray-tracing is a niche technology. Only NVidia themselves and Nintendo use NVidia chips. No exclusive feature like RT or PT will ever be fundamental or important compared to what raw power and affordability offer. All you'll get is that, if you use NVidia cards, the devs maybe smear some vaseline on everything for you.

AMD graphics are real. Nvidia graphics are fake. That's enough reason to buy AMD. The proof is in HDR. It's real on Linux and just works on AMD. On Nvidia it's broken and fake (RTX HDR).

Reminder x3d is only beneficial for 1080p 3rd worlders and useless for 4k or literally any other use case. Buy the non x3d CPUs for less and get more core performance with much less heat output.

Once you use a nvidia gpu you will never want to go back to using an amd

>>109883874

I am currently using a 15 year old NVidia GPU. Great little card. Wish they still made them like that.

This is my gpu circle of life

>>109884012

>>109884010
Nah I was working the whole time. I was gaming on 1080p and it worked for all the games I played so I never really had an urge to upgrade. Then GPUs got to some insane levels the past couple years, so I held on a little longer.
I'm just very frugal. I bought a nice oled monitor 9070 xt now and it will be seen as pathetic when I'm still using it in 5+ years probably

>>109884026
you werent hype by 3080 launch?

>>109882999
Just gonna sell my current setup it's not a huge deal. Definitely a retarded decision but I don't care. My current build gets too loud on load and figured if I'm already wanting to swap GPU and cooler I might as well do a whole new build.

you'll just end up selling it and buying a 5090. I've seen enough people with a 5080 just sell/return it and buy a 5090 instead already. Of course that was before full retard pricing.

just a few more days...

AMD just has dogshit thermals and there's not much point trying to polish a turd.

I got a low spec build using a I7 4790, 16 GB DDR3, and a GTX 1050 Ti, all on a Gigabyte ga-h87n motherboard that I'm trying to get working. First time booting, I had no video display from either the GPU or the motherboard. I figured it was the power supply, a used Apveia 250W I was gonna use for a XP build. Just today I got a new 300W PSU from Amazon, same brand, and now the system cycles on and off. Granted, I got the mobo from Ebay a few months ago, and this was my first time trying it out. I don't want to waste any more money, and I already have a small PC working that could do the same thing, just wanted another backup.

>>109884127
From what I've seen it turned out the people that spent $1000+ on a video card did not mind spending $2000+ on a video card so long at it's the absolute best. But $5000+ on one seems to finally be the line they won't cross. Until the 6090 comes out.

>>109884164
Probably a CPU or motherboard issue if the memory is fully seated.
You can test the video card using the other PC.
You could also try booting with one memory module in A2.

>>109884183

There is no down the line. 5090
Performance is stuck at $5,000 for the next half decade atleast. 5080 has almost zero noticeable difference to a 5070ti and the 6080 won't be any different and will probably cost 2,500 anyway. The only way forward for tye next decade will be getting a card with a 90 at the end of it's name.

The 6080, 7080, and 8080 will all be the same performance with the same amount of vram made for less money and sold for higher and higher prices.

>>109884183
People also typically refuse to pay for something if it was cheaper in the past

No you'll still need nvidia (((fart reconstruction™))) that's only avaliable in 60 series cards to launch newly released games. Patches for nvidia "FRT" will be released for already avaliable games that will make them unplayable by anything that isn't a 60 series. Did you remember to buy a nvidia subscription?

The 90 series clearly is on its way out. Nvidia can't justify supplying chips that capable for the consumer market when corporate is more than willing to pay 2-3 times the MSRP if only because it's almost a Blackwell 6000. Next gen won't have a 90 series card or it will be 90 series in name only, much like how everything below the 90 series is actually a tier lower when considering die sizes.

>>109884695
nvidia will continue to make the 90 series because the 90 series isn't banned from exports to "certain" countries like the Blackwell cards are.

>>109884728
>the 90 series isn't banned from exports to "certain" countries
What the fuck are you talking about? The 4090 and 5090 are banned from exports to China. That's why they made the 4090D and 5090D. 90 cards are perfectly viable as a professional product and even boomers in government know it.

tuning the 5800x3d, it is fully stable at -25 undervolt
went for -30
30 minutes in occt ax2 stable, went for core cycling, new cycles every 30 seconds, after about 10 minutes got one error on physical core 2 and the test stopped
then I am using it now with -30, no problems so far, should I be worried or am I being overzealous? if I can't get -30 all core I'll have to do individual cores but I really rather not

>Nvidia is going to abandon a market they have a 90% share of.
I'm not saying it'll never happen, but it'd be really dumb. Yes, it's not the most profitable market they have, but it's an extremely safe market that they've had dominance of for decades, which has no real competition and isn't really of much interest to anyone else.

It's not like gaming GPUs are unprofitable either, it's more than covered the cost of development and production for Nvidia, and has allowed them to grow as a company. It's just not the absolutely most short term profitable thing they could be doing with the resources.

>>109884749
>The 4090 and 5090 are banned from exports to China.
Just like blue jeans to japan.

>>109884749
not anon, but as long as the vram isn't cucked like the mobile rebrands, it's the same GPU in my eyes.
but the 5090 D V2 is vram cucked, which is something I just found out now.

>>109884787
Obviously de jure. You can't de facto stop the country that makes the damn things to not acquire them one way or another.

>>109884772
Probably best to leave it at -20 so you don't run into stability issues over time or amdip from slightly unstable cores

The issue with the other guy's PC isn't the 650W rated capacity, he's likely using an E-Tier PSU to power a video card that is known to have extreme transient power spikes.
ATX 2.x compliant PSUs also didn't have to meet stricter transient load requirements added in 3.x.
LTT demonstrated running a high end PC with a 4090 at full power on a Seasonic 650W PSU.

>>109885036

dumbass take. number go up. always go up

>>109885073
You're as wrong as him but for other reasons. They will always incrementally increase vram even if technology allows for 100x higher capacities overnight, because nobody would even buy a graphics card if they knew the next one is going to have 100x more vram or whatever, and also nobody needs it right now. They'll custom order 3gb chips for next gen even if the technology is capable of producing 256tb chips. That's just how tech is.

okay I'm the original PSU guy,
so what the fuck do I do? should I buy a 1K PSU?
