I always had a habit of placing lights behind my monitor instead of to my side but actually deliberately setting up a bright light behind the screen for bias lighting in a central position is a game changer. Shame about the PPI drop still, not having that 163 PPI even on a 23.8" display makes it feel like I have astigmatism and no glasses on trying to read text.

Just move to a well lit environment, overall. Your eyes will thank you for it.

>>109975151
I don't remember when this started probably after Goyim-19 made zoomers procrastinate for 5 years, but the traditional advice you would be given is always work in a well lit room to not ruin your eyes and reduce eye strain. And don't sit too close to the screen either. Meanwhile all these gamers broke that down and made people forget.

Made this is also the reason why buying a TV-sized screen as your monitor is healthier as well, your eyes accommodate for a longer distance.

That's genuinely a bad financial decision, though, a rundown shitbox that costs 500$ on the scrapyard is a money black hole that won't stop coming in and out of the mechanic, at least buy some reliable old car that has a good rep and that won't make weekly doctor visits.

That's a niggerpad

Is TCL literally the only ones making quantum dot enhanced IPS panels right now? I don't understand how this isn't standard, it makes a 4K IPS-type LCD feel twice as responsive and clear as the phosphor plops other WCG monitors in this class use. Feels like the CSOT HFS panel is one of the only examples of actual LCD engineering going on. Their backlight strobing implementation is also excellent, it seems shitty on these other Mini LEDs.

>>109975561
OptiGuard doesn't do current balancing

>>109975698
Because Plasma, like CRT, is impulse driven with natural decay of image between refreshed avoiding the sample-and-hold penalty on motion resolution that OLED and LCDs suffer from unless you run the source material at insane refresh rates or use strobing tech.

>>109976008
none of the solutions on the market do active current balancing. Der3astard said they considered it for the wireview pro 2 but ditched it as they can't tell what will happen. They all measure ampere and in most cases start to beep with an emergency shut down after prolonged time. There are some variations as MSI PSUs can throttle too I think but that's about it.

>>109975698
Because a plasma tv can be has for free or 20 dollars second hand

>>109976173
It's also limited to 1080p

>>109976070
That's my point. The Seasonic does current and temp monitoring, which is as good as anything.

>>109976184
fair enough. Just as warning the last time they presented the feature the software used bluetooth and it seems only to be part of their enterprise prime lineup so you better have a deep wallet. MSI has PSUs as well with Safeguard features, some with a software side but also just beeping. Those intermediate gadgets like Ampinel, Wireview or Cooler Masters GPU Shield I wouldn't get.

>>109977446
It has a shitload of information baked in but can get details wrong, especially numbers, so you should allow it to use web search and more specialized web services to pull exact data.
For programming, 64GB models can "oneshot" a simple program offline, with no reference library or search. With external tools and agentic harness setup even a 27B model can plan-code-debug in a loop until the end result meets initial goal.
For more general knowledge, like pop culture references or cooking etc it's all hit or miss. And then there is "creative writing" (ERP) which relies less on "knowledge" and more on "writing quality" which has nothing to do with model size.

1080p dlssed to 4k looks ok, there will be some artifacts so dont expect super clear image
1080p mode on 4k panel looks terrible on 32inches and only little bit better on 27, but you get higher refresh for shooters if you can pump the fps
just think about what you are really using the monitor for to decide what res, refresh and panel wil suit you the best, dont let other people with different uses

I think that instead of buying a new monitor I should buy a new chair for the same money to help my back pain and heat management.

Monitor shopping has to be the worst part of setting up a PC, not a single good monitor exists.

I'll just stick to IPS in future till there is some proper technology

>>109980830
true
Anyway, however good would game look with dlss5, I wont pick 60fps dlss5 over 120fps without. Because it might look good while you are standing still, but when you try to move, 60fps will just blur every detail and picture quality that cost you half the fps. And add latency on top of it. This is also true today for any "ultra" settings that kill your fps.

>>109980766
IPS with local dimming is decent enough. It gets better blacks, the haloing is a minor problem, and if you are lucky you can also find a monitor that does black frame insertion.

Coping with a old shitty samsung PLS monitor

Should I go for a 5600 or a 12400f? Benchmarks seem comparable giving the slight edge to the Intel maybe.

I looked into the 13400f too but atm that's priced too high to make sense.

>>109981077
5800x3d is the only ddr4 cpu that makes sense

>>109981077
12400f is better. if you can get one of those b660 boards with the external clockgen and non-K oc bios, the 12400 can be OC'd 30% above stock and wipe the floor with the 5800x

I installed my own temp sensors with thermal glue.
Cheap solution that works just as well.

I still get lingering doubts about whether or not returning the monitor was a good idea, looking at the HKC RGB Mini LED demo and hearing the specs and exclusivity left me disappointed. Their 27" offering sounds like it would be another downgrade in color while brightness stays the same. Dimming zone count matters, even if it's just 1152 to 1196.

>>109980969
To me it just seems like there aren't any options I could have upgraded to from this monitor without other major compromises beyond the HDR experience.

Also, another thing on my mind since the last 30 days is potential price hikes on the 4K Mini LED market. Not sure if KTC or AOC are just fearmongering, but it would have compelled me to keep the TCL even with the PSU whine and bleed.

I remember that my usual idle wattage consumptions (using a Watt meter, only hooked to the PC) were 70w-80w. I've seen it idle at 107w.
Today I switched to a new power strip, and noticed that the watt meter showed a higher idle consumption at 125w-134w, (did not check how much it was drawing off the old strip, but im sure its not the new strip's fault)
Build is 7800X3D, 5070Ti(uv/oc), 850w superflower PSU, 10 fans, 1nvme, 1 SSD, 1 HDD and one random 24' samsung monitor, running at 60fps (I know, I'm waiting for a 27' 4k WOLED to upgrade)

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this, but it's starting to consume me from inside.


Things I already tried include restarting the PC, removing everything but the PC and monitor from the strip, disabling integrated graphics and removing every USB to see if something draws suspicious ammount of power, updating to the latest nvidia driver, plus updating afterburner.

CPU+GPU+rest of system 30+35+15 = 80w
Power meter shows 125w, only with a browser on.
So something is drawing more than 40w
what the fuck?

When I'm playing a game my screen sometimes cuts to black, then comes back with a frozen image filled with randomly colored dots. Safe to assume my gpu is dying right? Oddly it's only happened while playing cp2077 recently, even though I also played stalker gamma which is fairly intensive on my system, but didn't get things like this. That game is more cpu reliant so maybe that's why.

>>109981438

if it resumes it can be display or even cable fault.

just hooked the pc straight to a single outlet and the results are the same.

Could be a driver issue?
I had been using a 5xx driver for a long time, till recently where I upgraded to 6xx for DLSS5.

Then again it's not the GPU that's drawing the excess power..

>>109981077
The problem with Intel is you're going to spend a little extra here and there to get the clock gen and the VRMs that don't suck ass, and that makes the price/perf quickly evaporate.
If the 5600 gets you the perf you want, you can get the cheapest AM4 motherboard and the performance will still be there, so for ultra budget every penny counts, I'd get that and spend the rest on GPU.

>If display tech were the only factor in monitor pricing, you'd have a point. But as the article pointed out, it's not panel glass or display tech that's the issue. It's supporting components like driver ICs, microchips, motherboards, and power modules.

>Then it's also the fact that display manufacturers are beginning to shift their production lines for automotive and commercial contracts. Within the next few years, pretty much every car is going to have some kind of AI-powered smart screen/tablet in it. That need is going to dwarf any need for gaming monitors.

Go for intel if you want a modern low tier nvidia gpu (5050, 5060, 5060ti) or are thinking of getting a fast pcie 5.0 nvme ssd, go for AMD if you want effortless overlocking (essentially free performance on any B-series motherboard.).

>>109981819
Id argue it's the opposite:
H610 > A520
B760 >= B550
Z790 > X570

for ultra budget builds the 4500/5500 are still passable as are 12th, 13th & 14th gen i3's. For slightly higher end systems the 5500x3d and 5500F are decent contenders.

My card is a secondhand mining card. So far I've repasted it twice, replaced all thermal pads, and swapped out the stock fans for big case fans (it's a 3090 infamous for overheating). Which sounds like a lot and it is, but if you can snag a good deal that makes it worth it there's not many other options these days.

5800x3d is the same as a 9600x with the 9600x slightly faster in some games and 5800x3d in others
>If I go to AM5, should I spend big on a motherboard and get a budget CPU? Can't afford good both right now, but maybe later. Is AM5 at end of life?
you could get a 9600x. am5 is not end of life with amd supporting it till 2029 at the minimum
>Would also need DDR5, what should 2 8gb sticks go for these days?
16gb ddr5 goes from $200-350 and 32 is $400-800

5800x3d is a good buy just update bios on motherboard, there shouldnt be any issues except your mobo being pcie 3 most likely.
>If I went to AM5, would there be a big enough power draw jump that I'd likely need a new PSU too?
not really am5 isnt that much more power hungry than am4
>Also still rocking an old 120gb SSD, how much of a priority should a 1tb modern gen be?

>>109983159
>Currently have a perfectly good 6600 XT
Your CPU shouldn't be all that far from pushing that card to its limit. Any cpu better than a ryzen 2600 will see you largely gpu bottlenecked.
>compatibility issues
your mbo probably won't support pcie 4.0 but other than that it ought to take any modern ryzen cpu as long as you update the bios.
>I'd likely need a new PSU too [moving to am5?]
AM5 is generally more power eficient so unless you move a couple of tiers up in CPU you won't need a bigger psu.
>how much of a priority should a 1tb modern gen be?
Some modern games and applications strongly favor if not outright require a fast nvme drive, if your old drive works though you can probably get by without something new.

for how much does a 5060ti 16 gb typically runs in your cunt /g/?

>>109978150
>>109976461
If you bought the 9070 XT switch to linux. Thank me later. Use cachyos or whatever flavor of the moment distro.

>>109983356
I found a 5060ti 16gb pallit one for 440€ 3 months ago, to replace my 3060.
Did a overclock&undervolt on it and i get very close to the performance of a 5070.

No longer a case anymore. GPU is getting and getting more expensive. Im being serious when i said 5090 will reach $100.000 in few months

>>109983398

does $559.25-ish sound resonable?

yeah I'm sure once hyperinflation hits the US dollar that will be the case

>>109983442
5090 is end of life lol

>>109983449
yes if its brand new with warranty

>>109983538
There are no 60 series. Only H200 / H300 / H400 and onwards

That GPU isnt capable for gaming or any 3d task. Only for data thingy stuff. What you mean is RTX PRO 6000 Workstation. This shit is slightly better than 5090 with much better AIslopping as a bonus

My crystal ball says prices will continue to climb untill the holiday season and then you'll see discounts as high as 30%-35% during the Black Friday sales.

>this is horrific seeing as 13600k were FREE months ago but anyway
There has been plenty of Intel shit that has practically been free. If you just chose the absolute best value at any given point you'd be running a $150 12900k on a $200 high end z690 board with whatever kit of DDR5 you'd want.

Of course no one here actually gives a shit about real value.

>>109983831
No value in buying a dead socket for 8% more perf compared to a 7600x, doe
Once AM5 gets EOL'd I'll be buying a 10/11950x3d for its lowest price ever and I probably won't have to upgrade for a decade

>>109983831
value is picking up corporate e-waste for free

>>109983865
>for its lowest price ever
nta but amd is really aggressive in making sure that doesn't happen
at best you'll save like $20 assuming they don't deliberately and completely deplete stock before new generation comes out

It's usable but AMD software sucks in Windows from personal experience. You get better performance in Linux due to the open source drivers.

PcPartPicker clocked the 12900k at $120 at best buy at one point.

>>109984044
Looks like it was a best buy black friday thing, no other retailer matched the price so it was probably out of stock

The economy and society is on the way to being dead, so it makes sense.
