I'm thinking of buying a x670 off of AliExpress, I got a b650.CPU: 9800x3dGPU: 9070 xt Ram: ddr5 16 gigs 6400 mhzStorage: got 2 drives of c3 one of 2tb and one of 1tb but can't use both at the same time Screen: some lg 240 hrtz display 2k quality
>>109954539unless your existing motherboard is an asrock i really dont see the point
>>109954539There are M.2 PCIe cards if you need more M.2 slots.This is better than buying a new board if yours have the extra x16 PCIe slot.https://sabrent.com/products/ec-pcie?variant=41981188702465AM5 boards are also pretty affordable in many regions.
>>109954539Get more ram, or a better gpu.
>>109954539Just a weird build that doesn't make a lot of sense.
has anyone tried that coolermaster 12v adaptor that is supposed to give you audible and rgb alerts if anything is off with the amperage. Cause I was thinking about getting a Sapphire nitro+ 9070xt
>>1099550269800x3d 907xt is a pretty standard 1440p build though
>>109955106this thing released like a few weeks ago and is only available on their site so I doubt it. Just seems to a cheaper alternative to the wireview pro 2 as it's not one long cable but an intermediate device technically adding another point of failure.
>>109954655But I only have one m2 slot.>>109955001Much appreciated >>109955022I'll wait till the ram shortage will end, I'm assuming by mid 2027 , and you think I'm Rich enough for an Nvidia GPU? Lmao >>109955026Why's that?
>>109955152Why would you get a 9070XT if you're spending on a 9800X3D?You'd be better off diverting some of that money towards a 5070Ti.That's before we even get to skimping down to 16GB of RAM.
>>109955227The 5070 ti is 300 dollars more tho.And I'm waiting for ram prices to drop, I'll get 128 gigs by then
>>1099552279800x3d+9070xt is still less than a 5070ti, both gpus are a stopgap anyway till rdna5/rubin you are getting cucked either way.
>>109955224>But I only have one m2 slot.could get an nvme enclosure and use the second ssd as external storage which is fine just dont run games off it
>>109955253Shouldn't I just get a x670?
>>109955245close but still kinda crazy lol
>>109955240In gaming performance you'll see more improvements spending $300 on a GPU than anything else. But, also if you're going for an X3D CPU, stumping for faster memory that's only 16GB is a weird choice.X3D sees minimal to no difference between 5600-6400MT/s, so why spend more on what's already a budget compromise, and you say you're going to replace anyway?
>>109955287you could but sounds like a hassle, just make sure its not asrock/asus
>>109955290Because I'm a broke uni student sadly, hopefully I'll get an xx80 card after finishing uni
>>109955288>>109955245Well yeah. but the 5070Ti is better.I guess you could go for the a 5070 if you wanted to match performance, but those just seem like bad value for money compared to the 5070Ti, desu.
>>109955290>In gaming performance you'll see more improvements spending $300 on a GPU than anything else.but the 9070xt and 5070ti are the same tier of gpu its not like $300 gets him a 5080 (shit card as well)
>>109955312show me performance without FG you can keep rt and dlss upscaling on
>>109955312you know. i would care for ray tracing if someone actually released a good game.
>>109955324
>>109955337bro i played trough that game in 2014
>>109955324just divide every number by 1.8
>>1099553139070XT has slightly worse raster, but is pretty shit for anything outside of that.And if you only care about raster, there's not much reason to buy a new card at all when the market is full of used GPUs for like half the price and can also render everything at 60fps+ with just raster.
>>109955337>not the same gamewhy?>also neither gpu hitting 60fpsif you want to play like console plebs go ahead
>>109955350the 5070ti can not do path tracing above 60fps in most titles either so its still a meme tech, like i said both gpus are stopgaps till rdna5/rubin where path tracing will actually become a reality.
>>109955312>>109955337these are garbage posts
>>109955337>$20k gpu cant hit 60fps with an internal 1080p renderniggas will never convince me rt isnt a meme
>>109955361Then buy something used?The fuck spends $720 on a stopgap if they can only afford 16GB of RAM?
>>109955412spending 720 on a gpu feels way better than spending 600 on 32 gigs of ram also>used>buying consumer electronics without a warrantyshiggy
>>109955224>I'll wait till the ram shortage will end, I'm assuming by mid 2027 , and you think I'm Rich enough for an Nvidia GPU? LmaoNone of this is going to end. We've (ai bros) have been saying this for years. Ram and gpu prices will continue to rise for the next decade at a rate equal to their performance. The best you can do is save up now and hope that more consumer gpus and ram hit the market to keep prices "stable" otherwise they are about to rise substantially. The current and future output isn't enough to ever bring down prices for the foreseeable future (until around 2030). What's going on right now is monumentally worse than covid and crypto mining combined. Computing has never really seen this happen. This goes far beyond the dotcom bubble. Nvidia has the same accountants that handled tech stocks during that bubble and they only believe that they've gotten better at keeping the gravy train running.
>>10995539395% of the gpu doesn't do any of the rt work btw. for it to not be a meme you'd have to have more goytracing cores.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5GEqwI1kyE2026 and ray tracing is still a shitshow KEK

>>109955305>Because I'm a broke uni student sadlyThen don't worry about any of this. Don't upgrade at all and finish your degree. The last thing you need to by worrying about is a desktop system. If anything try and sell your rig then get a laptop.

>>109955393>niggas will never convince me rt isnt a meme
>>109955106I bought the Corsair ThermalProtect cable.Its got a basic over temperature sensor that will shut off the card if a wire temperature exceeds 65°C.It's not per-pin current monitoring, but it will prevent the GPU end of the cable & connector melting from high temperatures.This is better than generic 12V-2x6 cables without any protection.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQSeiZ8S9hwGiven the Nitro+ RX 9070 XT's power connector placement, you'll want to pre-bend the GPU side of the cable.You need to leave about 20~30 mm of straight clearance before bending it sideways (have to be careful with sideways bend).http://www.jongerow.com/12VHPWR/index.html>It doesn't protect the PSU side!Fully seat the PSU connector with zero gap, and leave enough slack so the first 30~40mm of the cable stays straightPull the PSU out of the PC and fully plug in the 12V-2x6 cable before mounting it back in the case if you need to. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.Der8auer mentioned in a recent video that most people having current imbalance issues with their WireView Pro II fixed it by sorting out their cable setup or replacing them.
>>109955426It won't, just like in 2020 , prices will drop
>>109955337funniest part is on normal RT without PTthe 9070xt is only 4 fps behind the 5070ti
Why does this keep happening?
>>109955494This isn't anything like 2020. It's the opposite. There are no laws saying you have to wear a mask or that you have to social distance.
>>109955528PEBKAC
>>109955510Great now do dlss5.
>>109955528Windows Update jeetcode live replacing the driver when it detects any sort of internet connection and then it bricks your system as there is now a WDDM mismatch.
>>109955552turning off automatic driver search should be one of the first things you do if you punish yourself with windows
>>109955550it gets worse cos the $10k gpu can only hit 30fps if you do that lol
>>109955542Yeah yeah, mid 2027 prices will drop
>>109955587>gpu power 551w
>>109955587>>109955598
>>109955587who the fuck is that
>>109955568Windows will turn it back on automatically if you have home or normie editions. Only way to turn it off for good is to have Pro/Enterprise/LTSC which has access to Group Policy.

Im so bored of ryzen 9000, ryzen 7000, intel 14/13/12th gen, rtx 5000 series, radeon 9000 series. Why can apple/qualcomm release yearly silicon upgrades but not these dogshit companies?
>>109956159ok boomer.
What card is the logical next step up from a 1080 ti or titan xp? I plan on getting a 4k monitor in the future but I'm prob fine just playing games at 1080p@60. However minecraft's optifine doesn't work on 10 series for some godforsaken reason so I still kinda wanna upgrade to something newer.
>>109956600apple and qualcomm don't really have to carry a legacy. their hardware is basically single focused on consumer and iot devices while pc hardware is more general purpose. makes the development a bit slower.
>>109956643ngl whatever you can find that is not out of your price range if you wanna do 4k well 5070 is entry level 4k, 5070ti is better obviously, and 5080 and 5090 are proper 4k
>>109956676why not something like a 2080 super?
>>109956643I went from a 1080Ti to a 5080, and that felt like both a big jump and not a very big jump.I feel like the 3080Ti or something is a pretty nice sweet spot. They're cheap on the used market and they're capable at raster and RT. But, you're not going to be able to mess around with DLSS5 or PT, but these technologies aren't quite there yet anyway. Honestly, it depends a lot on what you want to spend and what you want to play.
>>109956684is minecraft all you wanna play
>>109956732I wanna play Robocop Rogue City without my GPU running super hot. Don't care if I have to run it in 1080p or 4k.
>>109956748probably a 3080ti like anon just said
>>109956600arm has less instructions than x86
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cPdKK7I'm trying to get into a little bit of everything (video editing, gaming, rendering, music production)My budget is around $2,200 , but I'd like to spare my wallet as much as possible. I'm a USAfag
It is October 2025. I build a PC. It costs £1800.It is October 2026. I build the same PC. It costs £3000.
>>109956412GN's testing is only valid for the original 12vhpwr cablesModern versions of it are called 12v-2x6 which prevents user error by not powering up if not fully connected and they have thicker conductors too aka H++
I ordered a 5800x 3D to replace my 5600x, hopefully this upgrade with my trusty 3060Ti will be enough to tide me over until ~2030. Apparently it's noticeable more performant at 1080p for gaming.
>>109955545The cables all suck. Der Bauer showed that the PSU and GPUs will be fine when they fail, it's always the shitass cable killing itself. I don't blame the cable. It's so thin it's ridiculous.
No one can know my super evil a.i. plans.....

>>109956933These are the non memory related parts I got for my new music production pc.https://pcpartpicker.com/list/87NKK7
>>109955439>8 years later still seething still doesn't understand the tech
>>109957192oh i see
>>109955439>>109957223When will the industry dump ue5? It's too heavy and games running on it look really ugly comoared to games running on other modern engines
Is it just because of VRAM? I can't find a 5070TI under $1100
>>109957223how else are you meant to run ray tracing with acceptable performance, dlss is basically mandatory to hit 60fps
>>109957274what would be a good engine? Anons shit on inhouse engines like RE-Engine too
>>109957274They can't because Lumen works on consoles and AMD cards that don't have dedicated raytracing hardware.
>>109957314yes, same here
why did the gooks made it so crimson desert barely uses your vram
>>109957274When UE6 comes out. Nobody is going to drop an all-in-one engine with tons of support just because a couple whiny AMD streamers and 4chan shitposters complain about it.>>109957333Stop defining "acceptable performance" as "100+FPS on a budget card" and use an actually good card?
60fps with dlss + frame generation is perfectly valid game requirements that's why devs list it there's a lot of talk about 60fps being minimum for frame generation and it's all bullshit
>>109957401nigga the only gpu that can hit 60 fps with RT at 1440p without dlss is the 5090
unreal engine 4 looked more than fine and ran pretty well
>>109957431>9070xt above 5070ti ?
>>109957368ue4 is goodue5 always looks grainy and sandy no matter how many AI tricks you throw at it to get it looking normal again
>>109957434UE4 was one of buggiest engines ever made
>>109957445The game doesn't get 60 fps at 1440p on anything but a 5090.It's just shitty optimisation.It looks like this.
>>109957487i have ue5 brown filter fatigue
>>109957487lol looks like a sharpen filter on an xbox 360 era game
>>109957503Brown = next gen
>>109957487this shit be looking like a like a earth defense force game
>>109957137would this be good for upgrading in the future too? how long would this last?
>>109957550yes, just upgrade the gpu in 2028 when nvidia solves computing with rtx rubin, the 270k plus will last a long time tsmc n3 is very good
im pretty sure i'll be just fine with dlss quality + frame generation x2, r-right?
>>109957621if you have a 5090, yeah otherwise rofl
>>109957554alright then, thank you so much!
>>109957621Looks fine in my experience.
>>109957431Ok, and?
>>109957627n-not like this
14600K + DDR4 + 7900 XTX, meme pairing or fine?
>>109957656thats my point, you cant get acceptable performance without dlss. 60fps is the bare minimum for pc gaming
>>109957678fine only if u already have the gpu otherwise get the 9070xt
>>109957678Ready for UHD
>>109957682Every gpu in my screencap is giving acceptable performance. You're reading the exact opposite out of it. Those are all playable, and that's with half the cards in the list being ones that kind of shouldn't be trying to run it at absolute maximum "ludicrous" settings.
>38.9fps is acceptable
>>109957790The original Doom was capped at 35FPS and not one person who played it thought that was "unacceptable". Get totalbiscuit's "60-fps or riot" out of your ass.
nowadays are you supposed to invest a bit more on the cpu because newer aaa games need dlss quality to run well which means your cpu will be doing a bit more heavy lifting or did it get it wrong? this is implying that you don't have a 5070ti and above
Does it seem worth going from 3080 to 5070ti if I want to try 4k out in the nearish future? Currently still only have 1080p monitors but I'd like to get a nice primary monitor and still be able to play games over 144fps
>>109958127Doesn't really matter. You'll want to drop down to 1440p even on a 5080. Remember the 1080 was sold as a 4k card.
>>109958153My 5080 runs 4K fine.
>>109958173native?
>>109958195Yeah. Obviously it depends on the game. And I'm not talking about Pathtracing or anything.Usually it's a choice between >RT ultra with DLSS>RT high at NativeAnd there are times when ultra with DLSS looks better and others when Native looks better. But, generally my opinion is that if I can't notice the difference between RT ultra and RT high, but I lose like half my FPS, it's not really worthwhile, even if I'm already at 60+.
>>1099581956800XT/3080Ti were advertised as 4k cards at launch
>>109957829>The original Doom was capped at 35FPSIn 1995 that was fucking awesome. I played it and enjoyed it.In 2026 that's retarded and it feels like shit.There's a big difference between then and now, care to take a guess at what it is? Hint: it's not actually performance related.

>>109958293No, you're retarded and probably eat shit. Try actually playing games. 60+ is obviously better, but you have to be an entitled smacktard if you think it's "LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" if it's less than that magic number.
>>109958565its still $200, the go to cpu for poorfags is the 5500/5600/12400f and staying on ddr4
i played all the xenoblade games on the switch 1 at 30fps and they all played nicely and looked semi decently but i must admit that if im playing on a pc in the year of our lord 2026 i don't really wanna be playing at 30fps otherwise it feels like i wasted my money y'know

>>109958651fgr/mixed can solve stutter for good and its ddr5 exclusive. there's more memory banks and each one can refresh independently instead of all them shutting down locking out reads & writes.
>>109957431>without DLSSFor what reason?
>>109958620switch 1 is like $200 so i get your point, niggas are unironically justifying below 60fps on $1000+ hardware
>>109958682If you follow the reply chain he said HUB are retards for using DLSS when testing RT and complaining about artifacting because its the upscalers fault. I then said you cant get acceptable performance without DLSS if you want to use RT, he then says>Stop defining "acceptable performance" as "100+FPS on a budget card" and use an actually good card?and then i replied with the graph.
>>109958669>>109958680Okay, I'm trying to figure out if I should go with ddr4 or ddr5 with a 5070, because let's say I go with ddr4 I'll have to upgrade the ram + mobo + gpu eventually, and the other way around I'll only have to upgrade the GPU, is not that right? Trying to think long term here
>>109958802Realistically you arent going to upgrade gpu till rtx 7000 (if it even exists lol) and considering rtx 6000 is not coming till 2028, you can assume rtx 7000 wont be out till 2030/31 at the earliest. At that point it would be better to do a full system upgrade to Zen7/DDR6. TLDR: buy for today futureproofing is a meme especially in this post AI market
>>109958802also if you are playing at 1440p it literally doesnt matter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXKyQYiLro8
>>109958828Damn, before the main attractive of PC gayming over console was being able to upgrade and all that, looks like that's all gone, I guess you can mod your games and indulge in some piracy sometimes
>>109958856you can still upgrade if you are rich, us poorfags have been priced out of it though
>>109958856if you want to upgrade then you buy am5 because its getting 2-3 more cpu upgrades. am4 is a dead platform.
>>109958866Looks to be the case >>109958883Might go with am5 after all because I always forget that I wanna do emulation so having a mediocre gpu paired with a semi decent cpu looks like will be the path I have to take
>>109958883zen 6 will be the final full am5 cpu gen, zen7 will be hybrid am5/6 with ddr5/6 like raptor lake with ddr4/5
Can 9070XT handle 4K gaming?
>>109958931only the 5090 can truly handle 4k and even that is just scraping by, wait for rdna5/rubin
did i meme myself by buying this?AGEX AG34P 34" 240Hz Ultrawide
>>109958957>uwyeah
>>109958967what is bad with ultrawide?
>>109958931No.
Basically anything below 5070ti is a meme?
>>109958195native looks way worse than dlss/dlaa
>>109959133anything below a 5070TI is for people that actually play games without this permanently in the corner
>>109959133even the 5070ti is a meme at its current price, imagine paying $1050 for a gpu that cant path trace
i can feel all the tech companies raping my little virgin butthole telepathically
>>109959133Anything below 7900XTX is a meme
>>109958481I bought the $200 270K Plus last month.Only downside is I can't use Windows sleep option if I overclock the D2D (must leave it at 3.0 GHz stock, even 3.2 GHz is unstable after sleep wakeup).
>>109955598just
>>109959133Kinda.AMD have their whole "We don't need anything more than raster (ignore what RDNA6 is going to focus on)" meme.5070 is just a circumsized 5070Ti5060/Ti is just shit value and a prebuilt special.
>>109959323every shot i've seen of this game the PT is totally broken and way too brightI don't know what went wrong with it, their last RT update was pretty good and it's perfect in 2077
>>109959366>>5060/Ti is just shit value and a prebuilt special.the 14700K/5060 Special in every box store
You’ll save money buying a prebuilt btw
>>109959712from what I've seen in prebuilts they always trying to rip you off one way or another, like giving you a bronze psu or the bare minimum recommend wattage for the system, or a dram-less ssd
>>109959133All expensive GPUs are a meme if you don't need them, especially now that we are getting cucked by world happening. Most gam3rs are brain damaged by FOMO which makes them buy more than what they actually need.The actual smart choice right now is to compare platform for future upgrading, and enjoy the lower prices on certain categories, and then just wait for GPUs and other parts to get back to normal prices.The main things that you should drive is the capabilities of Nvidia GPUs because they have a lot of niche uses, are just generally more powerful. Whether you want go support open source and be on Linux (AMD). If using certain tech like ray tracing is important (nvidia). Ignoring those things, it's mostly just pricing and futureproofing ( if thats relevant).
sometimes when i need to cope i just remind myself that im goycattle and i don't deserve to be happy
>>109959838It’s good enough. The alternative is to get financially raped and deal with getting a brick instead of the GPU in your Amazon package
I bought a 5pack of Artic P14 ProsJesus Christ are those niggers fucking loud, I thought my CPU cooler was fucked at firstI had to limit them to like 20-25% to not go madAre there any less shitty alternatives out there?
I'm starting to plan out a PC, and aside from case/cooling I was wondering what parts I should buy first and what I should wait on since This is going to be over a longer stretch of time. If it matters I don't have a strong preference between AMD/NVidia or AMD/Intel.
>>109960133Just buy a prebuilt that has the GPU you want
>>109960138Is it that much more affordable that way? I enjoyed building my last PC, and was planning on reusing the case, which is pic related

Beyerdynamic dt 770 or Fiio FT1?
>>109954433I fixed her up a lil and sold it to a friend
>>109960144If you don’t have a PSU to reuse you’ll be spending more then buying a prebuilt and that’s with ideal conditions being able to find the cheapest parts in stock. Costco has good deals on prebuilts
I have a question. I got an rtx 5070ti in my PC and want to upgrade my monitor. Is it better to go with a 27" 1440p monitor (planning on mini-led) to just play my games in that resolution or is it better to get a 4k monitor (also mini-led) and go down to 1440p while gaming? I doubt I will be able to play certain games in 4k (outside of older games or undies), so I'll just game in 1440p Will I lose any fps for that?
>>109960321Your 5070ti can play games fine at 4k when you turn on DLSS Quality and shit.
>>109955598normally i wouldnt quote a fr*gnigger but what the greennigger (((forgot))) to mention is that dlss5 rapes their own gpus even harder
dlss quality my lord and savior
>>109960026Don’t be so hard on yourself froggie.>>109960120be Quiey Pure Wings 3 or Silent Wings 4.But Silent Wings 4 price is getting close to the Noctua G2 fans.Fractal Momentum is also a good case fan.>>109960133Buy parts you can test during the return period because it’s a bitch to deal with manufacturer RMAs.>>109960171OLED VRR flicker is a real issue.Your PC needs to be able to render consistent frametime to minimize the flicker in certain scenes.You also need to set up VRR properly (set maximum fps below monitor refresh rate, refer to NVIDIA Reflex fps cap formula).You will see flicker in some game menus and loading screens.>>109960321Do a lot of research about miniLED monitors before you commit to a purchase.The value miniLED monitors usually don’t provide display firmware updates (what you see is what you’ll get).It’s better to stick to 1440p monitors if you’re concerned about 4K performance.Or use 4K DLSS Super Resolution @ performance mode.
SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE, I am a 5080 owner and I think I'm going to pass out
>>109960413why are they testing it at 1080p tho
How difficult would it be to buy a prebuilt and move the hardware into another PC case? Found a prebuilt but not a fan of the cheap case, does it involved removing it part by part or is it just one solid plop?
Talk me out of this right now.https://www.eluktronics.com/HYDROC-16-9955HX3D-MLED-5090-96G-8T
>>109960430easy unless it uses some weird custom motherboard with unusual format
>>109960455it's literally an oven pretending to be a computer
>>109960425If they tested at 1440p or 4K the game would be running at 30fps1080p ultra is the limit for current gen cards
>>109960430Pretty much part by part, you might be able to get away with leaving the cpu cooler on when moving the mobo if you can reach the screwsBut that is dependent on it being a standard ATX an not some dell abomination.
>>109960465most people do not in fact run on "ludicrous" settings
>>109960430Even if it wasn't pre-built it's better to do part by part. It's not difficult.
quite literally who gives a fuck about the gears of war franchise after the 360 era
>>109960465Yeah but no one runs games raw at 4k. They use shit like DLSS and FSR.
>>109960425DLSS/FSR performance at 4k is 1080p
I totally fell for future proofing meme when PC building is all about selling your old card and getting a new series one with better performance for a little bit more money
My 10700k is gonna be 7 years old soon and it’s still working fastMy 6600xt is gonna be 6 years old soon and it too is still working great
I mean if you're gonna lower settings and play at lower resolutions anything can work but that's not the point
>>109959323thats not even with dlss 5 btw.
>>109955587Seems pointless to play this when the original looks pretty good and already took years of hardware advancement to run great
>>109960840I mean, techpowerup used it to benchmark the rtx5090.
>>109960771I’m playing valheim at 1440p high settings and getting over 60fps on my 10700k and 6600xt
>>109960909That game looks like shit so it makes sense
Just picked up a new T705 for $520 shipped how did I do?
>>109957401>Stop defining "acceptable performance" as "100+FPS on a budget card" and use an actually good card?>8 years into goy tracing and you still need a high end gpu that costs over 3k to run it properly and without artifacts>novideo goym will defend his master country on the internet to his last breath
>>109961080*company
>>109957416game developers are the same ones who enable mouse acceleration, grain, motion blur and vsyncthey don't know shit about a good gaming experience
>>109960941It’s looks better and has more character then the brown vaseline smeared triple a games
>>109960481>use case for a fun game

>>109961121Okay man if you're enjoying yourself that's all it matter but personally I'm not interested in that game
>every instance of rt "noise" "boiling" "artifacting" is fixed with dlss 4.5 ray reconstruction>gears doesnt ship with RRwhy? I guess its because of the new lumen rt techniques but seems like a horrible tradeoff
>>109961129okay sorry it actually looks pretty good, didn't know it was a prequel to 1
>>109961172what the fuck is going on the in the comments section
i know a guy who has a 5090 and all he plays is gachasloppa
