>>110073757They should call this thing Productivity Station(TM >So what did you achieve in your Productivity Station today?
>he bought a mini LED monitor>he bought an LG MONITORDoes he know?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9uefFYe6bM
>>110073793Objectively correct.Hell we are going to have to start to pay for AI dedicated silicone. Even just drop the Zen 6 unless AMD gives options. Unless you're specifically building for AI, you're unlikely to get a good deal the next few years.
Anyone got a good macbook / windows desktop high end switch setup?I have:>2 240hz monitors (looking to get a third)>m5 macboook pro>custom built windows pc with a 5080I want to figure out a way to connect both pcs and peripherals to a switch, use a thunderbolt cable on the mac, and swap between them with just one button. chatgpt says to buy a regular switch, then buy a thunderbolt hub for the mac, hook the hub to the switch, hook the pc to the switch, and then use that. sounds retarded ngl
>>110073918I like that one cause the seating could be any chair you like. The keyboard would be good for a flight sim. If you built this, good job.
How should I upgrade this?
Parts received. Assembled everything the day before yesterday. Optimized cabling for airflow yesterday. Today I'm barely feeling like installing the OS. This is a lot less fun when one's a busy old fart.
>>110073971My board has a ReSeT_JuMPeR pin that is reconfigurable in the bios. don't know what it allows one to change, but I thought it's cool I could just use my power and reset switches for other features on my computer case.Might give you ideas.
>>110074047I sold my x870e Hero cause of the q-release slim being ass and no option to turn off USB4.0 for a second x4 PCIe5 M2 slot
>>110073971A network switch won't help here. You want a KVM-style setup, and there are three ways to get it:1. **True KVM switch:** closest to one button, but few models hold 240Hz across multiple monitors, and they're pricey (Level1Techs is the usual recommendation). macOS also doesn't support MST, so you need one cable per monitor.2. **Thunderbolt dock + USB switch (best value):** Mac connects to the monitors through a dock, the PC connects directly via DisplayPort, and a USB switch flips your keyboard and mouse. A hotkey can switch monitor inputs using Lunar or MonitorControl on the Mac, and ControlMyMonitor or Twinkle Tray on Windows. This gets very close to one button.3. **Monitors with a built-in KVM:** some Dell, Gigabyte and MSI models have one, so check your current monitors, and consider one for the third.Before buying, check that your M5 chip can drive three displays (base chips usually can't), and that each monitor has two inputs.If you share your monitor models, resolution and M5 chip, I can suggest specific products.

hello. i am going to switch out my ram, cpu and graphics gard. are there any precautions to take with regards to settings, bios and when actually physically installing the new components? everything should be compatible with my old motherboard and psu, i am switching out an i5-4460 for an i7-4790k and a gtx 1060 3gb for a gtx 1660 6 gb. and 8gb ram for 16 gb ram. the new stuff is second hand of course and my goal is only to game at 1080p really.
>>110074156I've never kissed a girl ahhh set up
>>110074300Don't mangle the motherboard pins. Be careful when you remove the CPU cooler.Warm up the CPU with a stress test for 10~20 minutes, twist the heatsink before you try to pull it out.
>>110074300turn off XMP before swapping the ram. turn it back on after it boots the first timei'd mention bitlocker recovery keys but i think your system is too old to have tpm bullshittery
5090 doesn't exist anymore5080 is officially the strongest 5000 series GPU
>>110074365The big cuckening of late 2026
>>110074336if he had qdoleds instead he would have...... but he chose the LCDlife.....it looks kinda annoying having something so low you have to kneel down to or get into, like that other recliner thoughit doesn't need to be hard to get out of >>110074365niggas finna flip the 5090 for even moreremember when I told you 5090 was the best value gpu?I meant it, but not even I predicted it would moon this hard
>>110074344>twist the heatsink before you try to pull it out.the screws that attaches the cpucooler/fan to the motherboard?>Warm up the CPU with a stress test for 10~20 minuteshow do i do this? >turn off XMP before swapping the ramyes i already did this. >i'd mention bitlocker recovery keys but i think your system is too old to have tpm bullshitteryi have no idea what this means, haven't built a computer in almost ten years. also any precautions with regards to switching out the gpu? once i broke the motherboard when i changed the gpu 8 years back, don't know how i did it though
>>110074365next stop: €3000 RTX5080, €1500 9070XT
>>110074300As long as you're in there you should replace the cmos battery, they cost like a dollar
>>110074386occt will set your cpu on fire if you want or cinebench loops
>>110074300Don't touch the LGA pins on the motherboard, it has electronic aids and if it pokes you the blood will spill on the pins and summon a demon.The heart works as such:>The resting membrane potential of ventricular cells is around -90 mV, while the action potential upstroke can reach +50 mV.Compared to a VRM capacitor>Motherboard VRM capacitors store voltages, typically ranging from 1.0 to 1.4 volts for the CPU core outputSo if you touch it it is 1,000 times more powerful than a heart fibrillation, so if you touch it while removing the heatsink it'll kill you.
>>110074392is that a regular button battery, are there special ones for motherboards? i am looking right now and i can't find anything. it's an old asus z97-p
>>110074416yeah im not gonna go in there and fiddle with the power on lmao
Good news fellas.I now have The Most Powerful GPU Gaming On The Market.
>>110074386>the screws that attaches the cpucooler/fan to the motherboard?Warm up the CPU with a stress test to soften up the thermal paste.Remove the CPU cooler's mounting screws.Twist the cooler heatsink before you try to pull it out.
>>110074445ah now i get you. i am of course also gonna clean the old paste from the heatsink and apply new paste to the "new" cpu. is it still just a peas worth of paste in the middle of the chip or is there a better way to apply it?
>>110074386>any precautions with regards to switching out the gpuif you use the release latch you shouldn't need much effort to remove the card. if you think you have to pull hard it didn't release properly>>110074422standard cr2032 battery. they're used for all sorts of things
>>110074399which is the safest option?
>>110074488ah no wonder i cant see the battery, the gpu hides it lmao>if you use the release latch you shouldn't need much effort to remove the cardi'm gonna be careful, thanks for all the advice>standard cr2032 batteryok. i have some of those at home.
is it remotely smart to try to order an rtx 5090 at this point? I am certain I'll get scammed even by big retailers at these prices. I have to buy in person and walk out of the store carrying an ar and body armour to secure one of these things now, right?
>>110074365hell yeah, 5080gods we won
>>110074653the next few weeks are basically the last chance you will ever get to buy it from a retail store. Nvidia have stopped making it and won't be making it ever again. You won't need body armor since as soon as you buy it someone will try to buy it off you for double the price.
>>110074492cinebench probablyocct will destroy your computer if you don't have good enough cooling or silicon
>>110074653If you do go to a store open it there in front of them and make sure it's not open box.
>>110074706ok thanks. will download it and run it before installing the new one.
>>110074653Get a 5070ti and a used motorbike or a jetski.
>>110074300when changing these components, shall i do it all in one go or change one thing at a time?
Stupid anti-glare coating. Scratches literally every time I clean it, and I swear I'm using am microfiber cloth and distilled water like I was told. Worst part is that the scratches are so shallow they basically only ever show up at a specific time of day when sunlight manages to get into the room.
Are there any polishes that help with scratches on a QD-OLED screen, or at least on the AR coating on the outside.And separately, would any of them also work on the scratches on my glasses?
>>110074653if you can find a prebuilt with a 5090 since it costs the same or less than a 5090 that is the only "wise" buyelse, time to cope until 6090 release
>>110075019the only saving solution you have as a last resort is peeling it offthat's why you can also buy discount tvs that are scratched and "save" them by peelingbut only a last resortit's plastic, u not gonna polish that shit out without fucking shit up even more
>>110075019nonejust buy a new one
>>110075189Unfortunately I don't have $1,500 to throw around at a new monitor just because it got light scratches on it that only show up for 3 hours of the day at most. It's just irritating that I did everything right and it still gets scratched up. Oh well, I supposed I'll end up having to peel the coating off eventually.
I boughted a gpu retardedly due to doing babby's first "research". Got a 5070ti asus prime oc, the prime small pp card. I could have waited and shelled out a bit more for a tuf gaming or a gigabyte aorus. Or go all in for a 5080. Or go the opposite way for a good 5060 or 9070 for budgeting. But it's too late now, no refundsHow much do you estimate I'll regret it in the decades ahead, as it remains the last gpu I was able to afford
he made over 100 video on DLSS5
>>1100753375070(ti) = 4090(ti) performance
>>110075337Well that card is double what I got for it last year. Were it today I would've just got the 5080 since they are demanding $1200 for 5070ti. The price of the card just makes no sense at this point. You'd be better to buy a 9070XT (price) or 5080 (performance). They killed the 5070TI price/performance sweet spot.
>>110074300At least get the 2060 or the 2060 Super
>>110075372the god of schizofreniatechpostingfrogboy.. I kneel
can someone recommend some "fan cables"? all the pin connectors for fans on my mobo are already used, but i have a couple extra fans that arent doing anything. i guess 3 or 4 pin is fine?
Will 32 GB RAM be enough for future proofing or should I get 48 GB? My last build had only 8 and it caused stuttering in games.
>>110075457People were arguing with me not wanting to buy 64 for 99€ because it was double the price of 32now 64 is 1k 32 is 500€I am done with "people"
>>110075452wouldn't a fan hub work better in this case?
>>110075457If this is just about money and you can afford it get the 48GBIf you are ONLY gaming then yes 32GB will be fine
how high can RTX 5080 prices get, bros?
things ain't looking so hot from the rx 9070xt camp, either
>>110075480it is too late for a hub
>>110075511>>110075517a linear extrapolation will see 2000EUR rtx 5080 and 1000EUR rx 9070 xt by december
>>110075457I'd argue that with ram prices like this even the most vile ue5 tripleA slop should remain playable at the 16gb mark. But I don't know how to argue so just go 32gb for gamingI grabbed a sale of chink 48gb cl28 for less than reputable 32gb cl30 but that was still half a grand, feel like I should have gone with the 32 desu

>>110075426psu cant take it. a bit too expensive for me also
>>110075457you dont need more than 16 for gaming
>>110075531too bad the rise will be exponential
>>110075550he'll have to close his browser and other electron apps before gaming, that's horrifying
>>110075521what's this supposed to mean? You could try to get Y splitter cables, maybe there are triple versions but be warned that the header cannot provide unlimited power
>>110075550Wake up, gramps. It's not 2008 anymore. 16GB is "basic office computer" tier. People with your kind of mindset are why "oh my skibidi this program uses eight hecking gigabyterinoooos" is so prevalent. At best, 16GB is a cope you fall back on because the aislop scam industry hyperinflated the costs.

It's 2026. Why do people still recommend the AMD GPUs? Nobody buys them, even when they're 50% the price of the nVidia equivalent. The only time we see someone praise AMD is when they're at 40% or less the price of nVidia.
>>110075840Relax, you don't get paid if you convince people to purchase nvidia GPUs.
I hate to admit it but yes I actually am looking forward to GTA 6. It activates my monkey brain a lot. I literally get horny every time I look at Lucia. They did a damn good job modeling her. I love latina whores.But genuinely the game looks great. I think people are hyped because most people realize that most games are underwhelming, mediocre, just okay/fine, or utter dogshit. You really don't get those magnum opus games much anymore.I think GTA 6 will be a great game. We are back. Of course, I'll be waiting until I build a proper PC and put Linux on it in 5 years to play it.
>>110075614Grampa here. 8GB should be enough. Youngsters don't know how to tune systems any more.
>>110075890>Youngsters don't know how to tune systems any more.teach me your ways, oh wise one
>>110075854I just don't get it. It's so weird when every YTer shills the AMD but every stat we have shows AMD is basically at 3dfx market shares. At this point, it's more like Nvidia versus whatever integrated GPU Intel is running, not Nvidia versus AMD. So why is AMD ever in the conversation?
>still no 5K (5120x2880) OLED monitorwhy even live
>>110075961You make no sense. AMD and Nvidia are both the same TSMC PCIE devices. The only difference is the driver software and AMD is better in both Windows & Linux today there is no debate shut the fuck up bitch nigga.
>>110075910>teach me your ways, oh wise oneaw hell no. I retired from all that shit.Basically you have to meticulously look at every damn thing that loads itself into RAM including services and turn off whatever isn't needed.The screenshot I posted is from my old workstation which was tuned to have max available RAM for <special purpose>. Current shitposting box is 100% IDGAF not tuned in any way. 64GB is the minimum RAM for Windows to run well these days, so just don't be poor (or use Linux instead).
>>110075998The debate is over the wisdom of the masses. The masses have spoken: AMD is shit. Garbo. Useless, unless you are poor. So why recommend it in a general intended to help people?
I have a 2070 super that i can play most games at max settings in 1080p and get playable framerates I just turn off motion blur and depth of field And chromatic aberrations cause I don't care about cinematic looks, aliasing I use the FXAA one I think, games like Tomb Raider are really cool at max settings. I also like the narrow field of view on games like RE7 My favorite game engines are RE Engine and Foundation Engine. And these games are pretty old too. Like almost 10 years ago. The witcher 3 looks like dogshit by comparison, even the Last of Us looks better than the Witcher.
>>110075745those are fine, you want to use a splitter from a motherboard fan headeras mentioned by someone else theoretically you should look up the max current of your fans and compare them to what your motherboard supports and see if it's okay, but in practice it'll be fine. i could run 14 noctua 120mms off a single one of my motherboard fan headers
>>110075840maybe they're the only ones with usable amounts of memory that don't cost a fucking kidney? and that's only because they're not as good as nshitia for aislop
>>110075719It'll be at 600 on black fridaythese are just the customary price hikes until then
>>110075337Prime 5070 Ti OC is fine, it's definitely better than any 5070.
>>110076001>Basically you have to meticulously look at every damn thing that loads itself into RAM including services and turn off whatever isn't needed.yeah no i ain't doing that. i use asus gpu tweak 2, it closes a lot of unnecessary processes and frees up ram. it suffices for me
>>110076073>aislopIt's all the rage these days, everyone wants their own aislop-machine.Also AMD still gets a bad rap for vidyacard driver issues, it's almost 2027 and still too many people complaining about these things. Given that AMDs market share is much less than nvidiots this makes them look bad.I would bet that a large percentage of AMD driver issues come from idiots who don't know how to do a clean install of drivers.Don't get me wrong - I'm an nvidiot user myself (with an AMD cpu)- but I always tell people to just buy the best vidyacard they can afford, IDGAF if it's AMD, Nvidia, or Intel.
>>110076156>yeah no i ain't doing thatI don't blame you. It is a huge pain in the ass to do that level of tuning.
claude, make some decent drivers for AMD GPUs.
>>110076064thx
>>110074156I'd love to do this but I have no idea what seat to get
>>110076158AMD still has GPU issues.I mean fucking hell you get issues just having AMD's iGPU enabled.
>>110076166why even do it then?
do i need to uninstall the old drivers if i am switching graphics card? both are nvidia but the old one doesn't support the latest drivers
>>110076217>why even do it thenI got paid to do this sort of thing for about 30 years.Memory optimization is not a new idea.
>>110075998>he actually believe this and spams it every thread
>>110076204no thats nvidia we live in october 15th 2026 not 2016
>>110076235Can't hurt to use DDU
im too poor to build a pc rn so im stuck on a 4060 laptop

>>110076384Hasn't been my experience.Honestly, can't wait to get Nova Lake so I can ditch this fucking boat anchor 9850X3D.
>>110075640>hurr durr gaming is esports slop, 15+ year old games, and indie pixelshit and needs the same low end hardware that a microsoft word and outlook machine usesDon't speak on things you know nothing about.

I'm laughing so hard at AMDUnboxed going from calling the 5090 a 4090TI to now claiming it was never a gaming card and was always a AI card from the very beginning.
>>11007640899% of games are targetting PS5 as the baseline that has a total of 16gb of RAM which it has to use as both VRAM and System RAM. There are more games on Steam with 8GB of RAM in the recommended settings than 32GB.
>>110076441Even AMDoredTV recognized this was stupid all the way back when the 3090 launched>and no, it's not a fucking titan
>>110076436not really
>>11007644190 series cards are basically rebranded titan cards. they were never meant for gaming.
>>110076456
Titans were always used for gaming lol
>>110076401>amdolt doesn't understand market capitalizationTypical retardNvidia ~5 trillionAMD ~1 trillionAMD has issued fewer shares so its share price is higher. Same number of shares would mean AMD's stock would be worth 1/5 of Nvidia's>if nvidia had never split in 2024, its stock would trade well above $2,100 per share todayHonestly retards like you aren't worth the (you)s
>>110076460why did you change the resolution to 1080p when you showed 4k here?>>110076436
Amdrones are always dishonest, be it ryzeniggers or radeonfags
>>110075550>you dont need more than 16 for gamingI tend to agree but we have to debloat Windows first.
another reminder that nicotroon would have bought the 5070ti if he wasn't $50 short, shame on /pcbg/ for not sending him the $50 so he didn't have to spend the rest of his life coping
>>110076329understandable. a noble job. but nowadays optimization doesn't seem to be high up on the agenda. much easier to throw obscene amounts of computing power and let raytracing and upscaling do it
>>110076492Microsoft said 16GB was the minimum and 32GB was for "serious gamers" and then deleted the article after rampocalypse lmao
>Microsoft said
>>110076129i cant wait until black friday though
Apparently this distilled water isn't distilled enough. Because this shit is leaving streaks all over my QD-OLED TV. Luckily they're not visible except in direct sunlight but come on.
What am I in for bros? 6700k can't run w11 I had to upgrade
anyone that bought a 4090 unironically won so fucking hard
>>110076636Yes you can
>>110076468meta has better stock price than nvidia its over
>>110076460>1920x1080irrelevant2k is the sweet spot for vidyathat said, it's crazy to see the 6800xt I bought like 5 years ago is basically the same as a 6900xt
>>110076479This nigga using old drivers.
>>110076729DLSS Perf is 1080p at 4k
>Nvidia drivers in 2026pure dogshit
>>110076670Hopefully you in for a good time.
>>110076729>2k is the sweet spot for vidyaif you enjoy a non sharp image sure, 4k dlss ultra performance looks better than native 1440
>>110076670much better gaming performance, worse everything else
>>1100767594k is (still) a memedo you not comprehand what "sweet spot" means?
Here to once again tell you fags that 8K is the only way to play. Literally zero aliasing and if you sit your ass 2 feet away from the TV you'll stop thinking of it as a screen and it just becomes a window into the barf dimension.
>>1100767741440p was always the meme gaymer resolution and it no longer has a usecase with dlss/fsr
i have not once seen a nigga go back to 1440p from 4k, once you take the claritypill its over
My macbook ruined me, even my 32" 4k monitor looks shit for text and general browsing compared to that.
>>110076842shame thats the only good thing about crapple computers
>>110076842just get a 5k 27 inch screen and run it at perfect 200% scaling retard windows has more advanced font rendering techniques
Thinking of upgrading from my 6700xt to a 9070 this black friday, is it finally a proper time to do so?
>>110076868just get the XT now before it hits $1000
>>110076868What were you doing last year? High end 9070 XT models were selling @ under $700.Retailers can't afford to provide good Black Friday discounts this year, and in the near future.
>>110076867all of the ones out rn are ruined by a disgusting matte coating, im waiting for the glossy one from gigabyte/msi
>>110076880Is the XT really worth it though when compared to the generic 9070? I didn’t find the $150 price gap to be worth the performance.>>110076889Was still perfectly content with my PC last year, now I am regretting it seeing how egregious the price hikes have been this year
>>110076889>no more black friday dealskek I can see it now, retailers will try to make msrp as "black friday special"
>>110075337The only thing you'll be regretting is not having sold it. The prices will come back down. Tech companies makes good money on doomerism.>>110076479Always trust Nvidiot to cherrypick the hardest. Let's take a look at price to performance at setting that is used by more than 2 % of active PC players.
>>11007686890XX cards are a retard move. They're currently overpriced as fuck as not worth the "Luxury" of only being able to run Raster.Just get a used 3080Ti or something. It'll cost you like 1/3 the cost and you really won't notice the difference.
>>110076470>>110076729The shithead who posts that Ratchet & Clank minimums are sourcing launch day benchmarks, which was a pile of shit.The launch version of that game had RT disabled for all Radeon card owners.TechPowerUp doesn't even use that title for their current gaming benchmark anymore, the Insomniac in-house engine test has been replaced to Spider-Man 2.>>110076733And you've been citing the same launch-day Ratchet & Clank benchmark for over three years.Get help, you mentally sick freak.https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-9070-gre-pulse/31.htmlhttps://www.techpowerup.com/review/ratchet-clank-rift-apart-benchmark-test-performance-analysis/5.html
>retarded amdrone doesnt understand how a gpu benchmark worksfunny considering they will be the first to tell you to test a cpu at 1080p
>>110076868There will be no graphics card Black Friday sales. Sit on your 6700 XT until it gets FSR 4 next year
>>110076868not a big enough of an upgrade wait for rdna5/rtx rubin
>>110076925That's why you have to be a wheeler-dealer.Buy new hardware when they're at/near all-time lows, sell your existing components when there's still reasonable demand for it.
>>110076868get it and sell when it gets fsr 4.0
>>110076868>AMD has already confirmed their next GPU will have hardware specifically for upscaling, framegen and RT, as the consoles want frame gen.>AMD drops support for previously cards extremely quickly.>This effectively means 9070 and XT will be E-waste in less than 2 years.I mean it's your money, but consider the longevity of your purchase.

>>110077081No one’s mad.We can tell that discounted ASRock Challenger 7900 XTX is the most valuable possession you own.You’re just another freak sideshow in /pcbg/, and they all happen to own Radeon cards.AMD Radeon isn’t sending their best to /pcbg/.
I got a 5070 ti for a linux steam build I so excited to complete it
>>110076925No generally not, but ultimately it's about >>110077017, because prices goes up and down so much. The performance difference is around 14 %. Also keep in mind that companies has gotten much better at binning, which kills overclocking. So getting better silicone or gambling on getting better silicon is less of a thing. Especially if you're looking for power efficiency getting the "best" lists are completely different and the non xt does better.>>110077073Imagine falling for Nvidia marketing so hard. AMD drops day 1 driver support yes, but if you were interested in futureproofing this never fucking mattered. In fact when Nvidia started day 1 support, this was called out as a marketing tactics SPECIFICALLY. Considering that Nvidia GPU literally gets EOD'ed indirectly by Nvidia, while AMD lives on in open source assblasts any arguments that AMD =/= futureproofing. If you want decade + long futureproofing AMD, and maybe intel is the only choice.
>>110077118You type like a mad cocksucker
>>110077118If you didn't get AI to type your posts then you are mad.

Or even reading through the AMDHelp subreddit, filled with the plaintive bleats of poor users who just wanted to play /gaymes/ without driver crashes to black screens or AMD bug report tool popups or random crash-and-reboots ....Oh. I'm not helping, am I?
do amd niggers actually rely on open source trannies to write their drivers?
>>110077224when is nvidia going to fix their drivers on linux & windows they are worse than amd now
>>110077250citation needed
>>110076509the schizo sloppa generator makes me miss the nicotroon
>>110076479Dayummm the 7900 XTX still holds up well
>>110077271nicotroon is still here, he just doesnt avatarfag anymore cos jannies instanuke him
The funny part is that AMD's open source drivers are going to be AI written before too long, and you know what cards are going to be used to write them?

This your guys thread schizo or something?
>>110077210>>110077224Note how the main issue is from Nvidia drivers conflicting with the new drivers coming in...hmmm, wonder why. Second largest issue is Microsoft silently downloading drivers. Then the gam3rbrained will come onto DIY-PC forums complaining about things not being plug-and-play.Here is a solution you might enjoy. Why don't you just rent your PCs, then you won't have to hassle with scary computer.
Why do jeets love 5060?
>>110077306Same reason they like AMD stuff.Just cheap. Jeets can't really imagine a world where they can't afford the best things. So, what they can afford must be the best, even if it's a 5060, 9060 or even a 9070XT.
>>110077303>wonder whyBecause anyone retarded enough to go from Nvidiot to AMD is too stupid to know how to do a clean install?You do know you can have both an Nvidia card and and AMD card running on the same system together, right? Hell, you could have Nvidia/AMD/Intel all in the same box if you have enough slots and power. At least, you can with Windows. The drivers will not interfere with each other, to think otherwise is just plain stupid.
>5600X3D has returned to the Amazon store frontguys i just bought one and you any other am4 fags should too
>>110077474It's 180 at microcenter bro. Why you buying for 220 on Amazon?
>>110077259Nvidia forums are nothing but driver issues unresolved
>>1100773065060 like non even ti...?
>>110077474why? my current cpu is a 5800x3d
>>110077474why? my current cpu is a 7800x3d
>>110077474>Fomo tardKys
>>110077498Suuuuuure... so much so that they closed the nvidiahelp subreddit years ago and folded it into the main nvidia subreddit where - of all things - very few people report driver issues causing crashes and outright instability.Yet AMDHelp lives on with many posts about driver problems.
>DP 1.4 with DSC>DP 2.1a, full 80Gbpshow big of a difference is this? Some reviewers say no difference but then on reddit some say it's a massive difference. DSC is meant to be lossless but then others are saying that's horseshit.
>>110077131nvidia for linux is an odd choice, amd is usually better
>>110077582Nvidia mega thread is full of driver issues on reddit and also on guru3d that place is older than you and it's nonstop Nvidia issues there.
>>110077296all this investment in india makes zero sense. They will never be anywhere near as good as China and nowhere near Taiwan at all. They would be better off building in America.
>>110077596it certainly is one of the choices of all time. since gamescope doesn't run well on nvidia.
>>110077590Is a matter of puritanical sake, like it's supposed to be visually lossless, but is still a lossy form of compression the limit with 2.1 is like you said, but the monitors are 4k 240 hz, you get full 10bit color with no dsc.
>>110077582Another Nvidia hotfix that breaks more than fixes
>NVIDIA says 617.70 resolves some, but not all, cases of the black-screen issue. The company continues investigating the remaining cases>NVIDIA recommends opening NVIDIA Control Panel, selecting Manage 3D Settings, and changing Power Management Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance.>A separate problem involving G-SYNC becoming unavailable after a monitor wakes from sleep also remains under investigation.Yeah bro just disable VRR & make your GPU run at 150+ Watts at idle to "mitigate" the Nvidia driver issues
>>110077489no microcenter near me>>110077512downgrade then>>110077515i said am4 fags u self centered retard>>110077521how bout u come over and make me I kno theres some of you with 1600/2600/3600 out there
>>110077600>older than youNope. I was alive before ARPANET, before 3d accelerated vidyacardz, and before you, kiddo.Guru3D is mostly filled with people who know what they are doing. Reddit mostly reflects the unwashed masses. Make of that what you will.Just buy the best vidyacard you can afford and enjoy it.
>>110077631idk if it's me but control panel no longer exists anymore,Il I have to do everything through the app
>>110077631ai coded drivers
>>110073710it took 4 weeks to get my ram shipped last year and i was scared they were going to cancel the order and jack up the price every day
>>110077686It already at customs domestically so it might be here by next week
>>110077631>Person is very clearly playing the remastered version and comparing it to the original version on youtube.Iunno, why is the remastered version which was developed b an Indian studio the inferior version?
>>110077605Lol it makes perfect sense. Geopolitically India has access and probably won't change. Even though it has struggled with developing, it is generally going upwards and by all measures should prosper a lot going forward. It has and will have access to high tech expertise with a wide labour pool keeping labour cost down. China's currency might see a rapid appreciation of it's currency if politics change.Besides AMD has, and I say this as an AMDfag, always gone the slow and steady route. If you believe that expertise and IP edge will be lessened going forward (hello AI), it makes less sense to stay in Taiwan or China due to expertise.
How are the thermalright fans themselves? I have the phantom spirit cooler with some included but now one of them is starting to rattle. so I'm looking into replacement fans unless there's a way to fix it? replacements don't seem very expensive though, you can buy fans in multipacks if you're just after the fans themselves without a cooler

>>110077763A good Nvidia car runs better on Linux than a bad AMD card.
>>110073710I saw in the flesh today that a Walmart has 3x 5080's, some 5070's, some 5060's. They only have AMD cpu that I noticed. I saw a 9800x3D, and another cpu, forget which. some nvme at 1tb, one at 2tb.Kinda interesting. didn't examine the mobos, looked close to all you needed to get started gaming, including gamer glasses.

Graphics card wars aside, I keep forgetting about the 9070 GRE. If you're going to fall for Radeon, it's a decent option when compared to the 9070 / XT as a standalone drop in upgrade for an older card.
>>110078001The whole fukken world has driver issues on Nvidia on both Windows & Linux anyone saying it just works it's a fucking lying bitch faggot

Like, how the FUCK does the resolution look the fucking same?? People have been creaming themselves with "never going back" bullshit. And apparently the jump from 1440p to 4k is even less noticeable.
>>110074047Probably more storage. You can't even play 5 games with that nowadays
Another man lost to the sticky quicksand of AMD. His screams will haunt us for the rest of days as his mummified body will clamour for features that just pass by just out of reach as the years go on.

Refunding my Meta Quest 3 since vr sucks, what's a good 800-900ish upgrade for CPU motherboard and Ram?

>>110078931I think the available desk choices depend on where you are. For example I had a 200x80cm desk from Desktronic I got from Amazon but idk if this is available in other regions. Not sure if I could recommend it though as it sagged given the length
Nobody said anything, I'm amazed that Walmart has 3 rtx 5080's.
>>110077806>>110077910What others do you recommend to look at? 1 noctua costs around the same as 3 thermalright ones. I think I'd rather go for thermal in that case I have 2 backups if one starts acting up again
>>110079718>What others do you recommend to look at?If you're a man, your wife. That's it.
HURRY EVERYONE! GO TO WALMART AND BUY AN RTX 5080!!!
I wish I was black
>>110078285Yeah I needed that due to my screen being dark when activating hdr. Seems to be a problem with my specific monitor >>110078157It's 109, since I'm using a 27" for 1440p. But before that I had a 27" 1080p, so I think 80 dpi? That's a big jump too, I should be able to see some difference >>110078420>>110078961Did that, perhaps I need new glasses.
>>110080493Are they GunnrRR gamer glasses, or some kind of glasses for newspapers and crosswords?
>>110080516I don't even know what that means. Just regular glasses for people with bad eyes my dude
Just copped a 5600X3D boyos and sold the 5600X, that’ll help me wait out AM6. Hopefully whatever comes after the 90xx series will be good enough to upgrade my 7800xt and 6800.
>>110080562oh, that's why. You gotta get gamer glasses.
>>110078084The jump from 1440p to 4k is bigger you are just blind. Use the monitor for a couple days and then go back to your 1080p and then tell me you don’t see the difference.
>>110080668Whats the point if you cant actually see the difference now? Fucking idiot
>>110080815But you can, you’re just in the coping phase right now because you were comfortable with your old monitor and screen size and you are adjusting to the new one. This happens to everyone like i said try use your old 1080p after a few days and tell me you don’t notice the lack of sharpness and clarity.
>>110080815>Whats the pointIt influences text size. text size still is mostly tied to resolutoin.
>>110080820are you the anon that recommends everyone TVs? If you sit at a certain distance the difference between 1080p and 1440p becomes much less noticeable
>>110080668That other post wasn't me. I have both monitors side by side. I only really see a difference if I reduce text size a lot and the 1440p still shows it rather readable, while the 1080p doesn't. But for normal browsing, videos, games, etc. I really don't see a difference. Wtf am I retarded, everyone else seems to notice a big difference
