>>110106322>>High-end: wait for 2027 OLED releaseswhy and how long
You guys are buying the 6k 5090 build off dell right? Just sell the GPU and keep the rest
>>110106422What is even around the corner better than the 2026 ones? Are there any 4k 5th get qdoleds? I bought the ultrawide 1440p
>>110106426bro wtf. other way around. you sell the dell crap and keep the 5090.
Would it be a mistake to pay $560 for a factory watercooled AMD Radeon 7900 XTX? It's the Powercolor Liquid Devil model. Guy I work with managed to get an RTX 5090 for MSRP back when they first launched and he's been sitting on this 7900 XTX forever and is having a hard time selling it because it's a liquid model with no air cooler at all. It requires a pre-existing liquid loop (I don't have one but I'm willing to make one). Pic related
>>110106436I guess? It depends if you actually want the 5090, or just want a free pc. I would buy it if it shipped sooner than december. Don't wanna tie up that much money sitting. They might even just cancel the orders
>>110106426HP had 5090 builds a while agoA 5090 currently make 360-500 bux a month miningRoi 16 months
One of my hard drives stopped showing up on my drive bay. It's fucking over, all that anime gone like tears in the rain. I've only got 2 left now to get me through until prices become reasonable again in 2075. Not sure I'm going to make it bros you might have to go on without me. :(
>>110106437I think he should give you a far steeper discount for a used card that can only do liquid
>>110106426There is no 6K build. They START at 6k. The 5090 builds are around 7500
>>110106465Add the 5090. Change to 9850, remove all the BS and ask chat goy for 10% discount and he gibs it
>>110106437doesn't ek sell an "modular" aio? basically a pre assembled custom loop.
>>110106469surely Dell won't actually ship it for long with those prices lmao>>110106459used air cooled 7900XTX models are going for $900+ on eBay. Getting it for sub $600 would be a near 40% discount as is>>110106470not preassembled but they sell DIY kits like a lot of companies do. Honestly one of the most expensive parts of a custom loop is the water block, especially for the GPU because it's a one size block that usually only fits a single kind of GPU. CPU blocks can usually fit a variety of sockets. Not to mention I'm fully willing to go with an external radiator instead of buying a watercooling specific case. I'm all about jank shit so long as it works and doesn't leak.
>>110106503>900crazy. Would rather have the cheaper 9070 xt at that rate
>>110106514for gaming yeah but people want it for the 24GB VRAM. At that $550+ price range, I can get a brand new 9070 GRE 12GB. I was just looking to see if I can build a small 240mm loop solely for the GPU for maybe $120, talk the guy down to $520 or less.
>>110106456Same happened to me lost a 10tb. Had to buy a new drive triple the price it should be but at least could restore from backup. Y-You can restore from a backup? Righ?

>>110106422There's going to be stripe RGB subpixel QD-OLED with brighter panels (DisplayHDR TrueBlack 600, guarantees 350-nits full screen brightness).These won't be cheap though.Dell is also planning to raise prices monitor by 3~5% this month due to rising component & shipping costs.https://www.techpowerup.com/353850/dell-reportedly-raising-monitor-prices-this-month-entry-level-models-spared.
>>110106636which chip macbook pro m5 or m5 pro
>>110106653is that, that much better than the already 5th get oleds? I already bit the bullet on one
>>110106674Depends how much you value the stripe RGB subpixels or the higher brightness.If you bought the new QD-OLED 1440p ultrawide monitor, you own one of the best panels, no need to doubt your purchase.There's an LG 4K striped RGB WOLED out now, but I think it's capped at TB400 brightness and has some WOLED related issues.
>>110106636BEFORE BUYING>check your monitors' resolution and refresh rate>make sure each has a DP or HDMI input>check your dock gives 3 video outs from an M5 Pro>if it's the TB4 CalDigit you probably need a newer dock>buy a 3-head KVM that supports your refresh rate on ALL outputs>needs EDID emulation or your windows jump around every switch>buy from somewhere with easy returns, this is the part that fucks you>buy certified cables rated for your res and refresh (DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.1)WIRING>macbook -> dock via thunderbolt>that's your one mac cable>power the dock from its own adapter>dock's 3 video outs -> KVM computer 1 inputs>dock's USB out -> KVM computer 1 USB port>this carries kb/mouse so everything lives on the mac side of the dock>do NOT put the KVM between the mac and the dock, it breaks thunderbolt>PC's 3 GPU outs -> KVM computer 2 inputs>GPU, NOT the motherboard>PC USB cable -> KVM computer 2 USB port>KVM's 3 outputs -> your 3 monitors>keyboard, mouse and other USB stuff go into the KVM, not the computers>power the KVM from its adapterSETUP>mac: System Settings > Displays>set res and refresh on each monitor, fix the arrangement>PC: NVIDIA or AMD control panel>same res and refresh on each screen>turn on G-Sync/FreeSync if the KVM passes it through>KVM: turn on EDID emulation if there's a settingTESTING>press the button>all 3 monitors AND kb/mouse should switch together>check refresh rate on all 3 screens in both OSes>KVMs will silently drop you to 60Hz>run a demanding game, watch for flicker or signal drops>switch back and forth like 10 times>test after the mac sleeps and wakes too>if it shits the bed, return itDON'T buy the all-in-one "thunderbolt KVM docks" for 3 monitors; TESmart HDC203-PM24, the ~$520 Newegg one. they use DisplayLink to extend 3 screens on a mac. fine for work, ass for gaming and high refresh
>>110106702I almost bought woled but then got the 5th qd ultrawide like you said. It's funny because originally I was just gonna get some $200 or so ips 1440p monitor and then ended up spending $600 or so

What speakers do you guys use? I was planning to spend around $100. I was gonna buy edifier mr3s
>>110106949built in monitor speakers for general audio, crapple wired earphones for vidya
>>110106949I'd buy the MOONDROP MM3A if it offered an all-black version.MR3 was something I was considering. I didn't buy anything yet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CtsMrzX6A4
Last year RAM was selling out quick and there was hardly in stock. I bought a pair and it went oos soon after and didn't come back for a week at an inflated price.But now RAM is always in stock it's just 5X the price. Why won't they lower the prices?

>>110106949Standard Logitech 2:1 setup 25w system for speakers. Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro with FiiO E10K DAC for headphones. Unless you live in your own home with a properly sound dampened room, really nice speakers are a waste imo desu.
i had a great idea for a warthog build but i just spent on too many parts alreadythis happens every time
>>110106764lol nvidia marketing
>>110107614The reason why I want speakers is because lately when I'm gaming my wife just wants to hangout and chat or whatever. If I have headphones on it gets really annoying to take them off constantly. So it will be nice for that. I have hd 600s and ended up purchasing the mr3s that come in a couple hours
>>110107652>Imagine willingly having a woman near youNah but I get it. For that reason you're hardly going to notice crazy good speakers. Just get whatever is on sale in your price range with a dedicated subwoofer. It's what I did/what I would do again. Except I have no wife. Just a French roommate whom I sometimes like to hurl slurs at while folding my laundry but also want to keep watching my Youtube queue.
my brother wants to build a PC for gaming, is the 9070 GRE at 550 dollars a decent deal for 1440p gaming or no?
>>110107892That's about the pricehttps://www.microcenter.com/product/711497/powercolor-amd-radeon-rx-9070-gre-reaper-triple-fan-graphics-cardas for 1440p, depends on the game. The rtx 5090 is not a true 4k card, no matter what people tell you.ALWAYS lower settings to meet performance needs.>You aren't playing the game if the performance is badI don't like that it's 12gb, but this market is a bad one.
>>110107892the 9070gre sucks. you lose out on nvidia graphical features and you're stuck with 12gb vram which beats the point of going amd (i.e. getting cheap 16gb vram)
>>110108012>nvidia graphical featuresThey all are crap though.
>>110107892get a 9070 and flash the xt bios via a bios flasher.

>>110108025Bios flash it? What the fuck. Giving me flashbacks to the first gpu I bought the 6950 that I flashed to a 6970. Those were the times man
>>110108074This is a difficult matter.dlss is horrible, however, a lot of children prefer it.If you are very young, I think you'll be likely to think you want it, and we have to respect the fact that not everyone has a dad with good sense about what matters.

>>110106322now is the best time to buy Intel CPUs, because they're practically being given away. but they are very powerful, useful and don't require much power usage.
>>110108415Nows the worst time to buy ram for intel cpus.
>>110108376dlss is just eye candy that has a false claim, the claim is that it's a way to increase detail.In theory maybe it could, but in absolutely no game do you get an edge with dlss on. fsr is no different, it's there to make you feel better about bad settings.In some games you just have to lower the settings, including resolution, not rarely. This is simply factual: pro gamers don't do 4K, most do 1080p, and some do even lower. Exceptions to this rule aren't proof that someone on a budget should be using dlss (lmao)
>>110108415Like what? the 270k plus is identical to 7800x3d in games while using double the power
>Radeon RX 9070 XT owners are reporting game crashes caused by an aggressive dynamic boost algorithm. While manufacturers advertise rated boost clocks between 2970 MHz and 3100 MHz across 58 partner models, the stock VBIOS sets the maximum frequency limit at 3450 MHz by default.>When power and thermal headroom allow, RDNA 4 cards automatically push clocks up to 3300–3400 MHz during lighter workloads, game menus, or heavy upscaling. This behavior pushes many GPUs past their stability threshold at stock settings and makes undervolting difficult without crashes.>To prevent driver timeouts, users are manually applying a negative 200 to 300 MHz frequency offset in AMD Adrenalin software. Locking the maximum clock strictly to the 2970 MHz reference spec resolves stability issues, though it reduces average gaming performance by roughly 5%.
>>110107614>>110107652I use a pair of thrift store Realistic Minimus 7s with custom crossovers, a Topping MX3 amp, and a free 12" sub (whose amplifier smoked itself after 20 years) re-powered by an Aiyama A3001.It sounds much better to me than any of the 2.1 setups I've had over the years. If running Windows I recommend using Equalizer APO with PEACE as the front end.I'd like to know if there is an equivalent to PEACE+ the APO for Linux as I've never found one.
>>110108439Because the goal of PC gaming is to emulate pro gamers right? KEK
>>110108459Shitty vendors doing shifty shit. Nothing new.I'll be a solidly designed reference card would hit the spec.
>>110108470What's crazy is amd programming a 3450mhz ceiling into their vbios when they shoulda capped it at 3150mhz
>>110108481Not crazy. Like I said, a proper reference card design with a well-binned sample can probably hit those numbers. Vendors "tweak" reference designs and cooling to sell their own features, they DGAF if some poorfag buys a card that doesn't meet the reference design specs.

OR, i could wait until black friday and try to get a 5070ti.i'd like to really have a future-proof gpu for some time, as i know prices are only gonna go up. honestly i am a filmmaker/editor and game seldomly, but i do want to experience ace combat 8 the way it should be, and also i want to play the new starcraft when it comes out and that isn't until 2030. so having a good graphics card that can last into the future is crucial, i feel.so should i stay or should i go bros, get the 3080 now or wait till black friday and maybe get a 5070ti? it'll be more expensive but i'll be saving up.

what's the best way to update to the latest GPU driver after a fresh windows install? i've done all the windows updates and i noticed it installed an Nvidia driver from July. for the updated driver, i just want the driver and not the Nvidia App.

Hi anons, my monitor broke (old 4k 30hz samsung from 2016), and I genuinely can't find a new one that isn't overwhelmingly raw on the eyes. I used to turn my brightness all the way down and it had almost zero glow to it, but all the new ones I bought genuinely feel like a flashlight pointed directly at me.Is anyone as autistic here? Could someone recommend a monitor that's really dim?
>>110109393I already have the group policy set to not download drivers over windows update, but i did that after the initial round of updates to set up the PC. is DDU still needed these days? I did see people not recommending it unless there are issues.
>>110109398Put up a bias light behind the monitor to light up the wall so your eyes adjust that brightness level and what happens on the screen is less dilating
>>110109440some say you don't need it but I prefer updating with DDU. It's not like it takes very long you just have to remember your settings and to reinstall the monitor drivers if you used any
test
>>110109440>is DDU still needed these days?i also wonder this. i am going to be changing cards (1060 to 1660) and i wonder if i should remove the drivers, they say that you don't have to when going from nvidia to nvidia and also that there can be issues with no monitor being recognised and ther ejust being a black screen when using windows safe mode (as they say you should when using ddu). also ddu's readme itself says to only really use it if necessary, if you have major problems with drivers

I have an association, I held events for kids and such with lots of games. Most of my systems are consoles and some PCs, but these PCs are getting too old.They are mostly Gen 3/4 i5/7 non OC with 8~16gb of RAM and a 1050ti/60 or 570/580. I'm talking with a friend that has a few i5 14400 systems (Lenovo OEM, but these need just an adapter). I might keep a few of the 580, but the lowest ones will be replaced. The problem is that right now everything is expensive, so I'm looking at second hand stuff.What something usually available that is an upgrade to 580/1060? And what price would be a good one? I'm thinking about the 6700 XT or similar. Nvidia cards seem to be much more expensive even at second hand.

I'm still running a 3070 8gb from 2020, and it's not good enough for modern VR anymore.The rest of my pc is fairly recent, a 9800x3D and 32gb of ddr5 which speeds I can't remember, with a x870 mobo.Europe. I'm fine with buying used honestly, and I don't wanna spend more than 1k. Less than 800 would be better.
>>110110092Lianli's lancool 207 mogs my havn bf360
>>110110155>it's not good enough for modern VR anymore.what is it that's lacking? the vram?
>>110110194Compute as well, I'm at 100% usage in vr minecraft WITHOUT shaders, for instance. And let's not get started on something actually heavy like modded skyrim vr.
>>110110204wtf do you need such a powerful beast to handle simple vr nowadays? i am not in the loop with regards to vr, what's going on nowadays? has anything really happened since half-life: alyx?
>>110110225Absolutely nothing from official sources, but nowadays you can play any UE game in VR with modding. Which means you need to render 2 x 2064 x 2208 pixel @ 90fps with modern games.
>>1101101559070xt
>>110110252>UE game in VR with modding. Which means you need to render 2 x 2064 x 2208 pixel @ 90fps with modern games.ah that explains it. and i guess modders can't just optimize shit they way developers could (but won't lmao) do
>>110110161no it doesn't
>>110109053>OR, i could wait until black friday and try to get a 5070ti.It's highly unlikely to be any Black Friday sales for RTX cards, or any higher end video cards.

Um the latest reports out of Asus and MSI say they have run out of GPUs for the 5090 and 5080 and by next month they will run out of all Graphic cards and Nvidia isn't responding to them.
>REDMAGIC announces 5K 180Hz MiniLED monitor with 5,184 dimming zones and 330Hz dual-mode supportThis might be The One
Wow so i've bought the Meshify 3 case 2nd handed but 100% unused. Even the plastic wrap was still on the glas panel.After building it i noticed that the curvy piece which pushes the air upwards to GPU, was missing.Wrote fractal, they asked me for the serial number etc. proof of purchase. i told em it's 2nd hand but still sent themscreenshots from the website i've bought it + money transfer from my bank acc.Just recieved email that they've sent it my way even though i didn't pay for anything wow....
>>110110602didn't they already have a 4k dimming zones 4k miniled that was only so so? I don't even know if you can buy this one here
>>110110623These companies treat supplying spare parts like a minor marketing cost, you shared the good customer service experience to us.Everyone wins.
>>110106422>wait for next year>wait for the year after>wait, wait, wait
Soon. Just waiting on my 270k
>>110110602nah, that'll be the one that comes out a year later
>>110110752not tenkeyless keyboard?gross
>>110110752Should've waited for 6000 series.
>>110106949I bought the MR5 cuz it has a 3rd speaker for bass. Sounds very good. I almost went with the 1700BT but then I remembered my audiophile autism and I'd be upset about a non high res speaker for my setup
>>110110752first build on /pcbg/ in a month
>>110110752you're a homosexual
>>110110752unironically eww
>>110110587All the stock in stores was manufactured in April 2026. They haven't got new shipments since.
>>110110752I'm happy for you.
>>110110651>you shared the good customer service experience to us.Exactly that's why i wanted to share. Allthough the missing part doesn't bother me at all and even the case sits to my left,to avoid reflections on the panel from my monitor (it's the none rgb light) i still wanted to ask themand yeah there it is.Originally i wanted to go with the lancool for 80€ and found this brand new mint unused Mesh3 for the same price.Happy pc user here hehe
How soon do you anons think specifically the next gen of ultrawide OLEDs will come to market? I have wanted one of MSI's 341CQRs for a while, but the availability fucking sucks and the prices haven't dipped whatsoever (unlike the lower Hz Alienware models). It's been so long after launch that I imagine we'd get the HDR 600 models with 360Hz or more soon enough for the same price.
>>110110799This is a SFW blue board, that squash doesn't belong in here.
>>110110968That shit was only $3 and weighs a fuckton. I've been swapping pumpkin recipies with butternut squash and it comes out great. Ima roast that thing, puree it and freeze it and thaw when baking
>>110110945Don't wait™. Buy the 280Hz Alienware, you don't need more®.It even has DolbyVision HDR.
>>110110998>GhostfromCODstaringatyoufrominsideacar.gif
>>110110945Realistically a 9800X3D+5080 caps out at 240fps 1440p without framegen. 360hz is pure waste unless all you do is Apex Legends.
If you guys are shopping for a 1440p ultrawide monitor, buy the AW3426DW if it's discounted during Black Friday / holiday sales ($750 MSRP, $630 all time low).Monitor prices are highly likely to increase next year.
pill me on the new Arctic BioniX P12s
>>110111059Makes your PC so cold it freezes the OS
>>110111025>>110111050I have a 9070XT. I guess I really wanted the versatility with the higher FPS cap. I mean, I could play some more visually-intensive single player shit and be clearly fine with a 280Hz cap, but what if I played lighter indie games, CS2, etc? Then I could feasibly benefit from that extra 80Hz, even if modestly. I saw that $630 price on Amazon but didn't bite because I was fixated on MSI's model. I couldn't accept less than that if Black Friday came...fuck my life.>Monitor prices are highly likely to increase next year.QRD?
>>110110752>Frieren Tax
>>110111125It was one of the cheaper 5070ti's available
I got a 5070ti too. Mine a 2 slot width card cause I making a micro atax build, it su tini.
>>110111118You want to avoid triggering VRR as much as possible and a 9800X3D-9070XT realistically can do 1% lows around 240-280. Any higher is a stretch and you are gonna see flickering unless you disable VRR but then you won't get the smooth presentation for dips like shader stutter and multitasking.
>>110111059>last I bothered looking at fans arctic was still on p12/p14s forever>check recently>max came and went, pro came and went, pro ln came, now there's bionix????what the hell
>>110111140more like the only ones left
>PowerColor Reaper $949,99>PowerColor Hellhound $999,99>PowerColor Red Devil $1049,99It used to be 4 months ago Reaper was $700, Hellhound $800 and Red Devil $900.Hellhound is kinda there with inflated $900 but paying $900 for Reaper is literal suicide and Red Devil being only 100 bucks expensive than Reaper lmao at the kike prices. Oh well gonan pay the tax anyway and pick up Red Devil.
>>110111246check out 5070 prices
>>1101112467900XTX are also $1300-1500 now.
>>110111185How might I actually notice VRR flicker in these scenarios? My current monitor is a 3840x2160@144Hz IPS display; it has VRR, and I don't experience any visible flicker issues in whatever I play. The only unpleasant (or sometimes nauseating) thing is when I dip below 90 FPS, but that's to deal with motion clarity. Is this more of a prominent issue with OLEDs and 1% lows or something?
>>110111283CPUS are fast enough that 120-144hz is no problem for them. Higher refresh rates that are double change that. OLEDs update faster than LCD and those updates are perceptible as flashing when it swings from 360hz down to whatever dip it did.
>>110110623>>110110887I wonder if they'd do the same for my fractal north unit which has abhorrent QC lul
So we buying new PC, bros?
>>110110945It might take a while since gen5 debut with ultrawides earlier this yearPrior to that, ultrawides were stuck on gen2 panels which was barely better than the gen1 qdoleds they came to the market with

>>110111371Turns out immigrant filled Germany is still better choice than USA if you wanan buy GPUs, sucks to live in third world.
>>110111347im good on the ram front, managed to buy before it all went crazy, but i just had no use for a gpu since a 3090 was still a monster>>110111358a 5090 is like $12,000 aud, its just unreasonable. if i wanted a gpu in that range i'd just buy a 6000 pro
>>110111371Klarna got u fám

>>110111394lmao fuck you're right
>>110111383how many months?
>>110109053the 5070ti is very very good. at the very minimum instead of 4k you can run at 2k and it works great.

why is it when a 40/50 shits the bed its user error or a partner to blamengreedia gets so much slack that would never be given to any other company

>>110112123they were also public enemy no.1 after the framegen reveal, then again after the dlss5 reveal. some people are still seething about ray tracing 8 years later. the only valid criticism is their 8gb entry level gpus in 2020+6
>>110106322I really wonder what will happen in the next 5 years since Building PC is basically dead now. 60 series in 2027 ? Lol forget it.

>>110112236Consumer roadmap for next gen looks something like this:>Zen 6/Nova Lake Q1/2 2027>RDNA 5 Mid Range (Chip used in PS6/Xbox Helix) Q3/4 2027>RTX 60 Series Q1 2028 with 6090 >RDNA 5 Flagship Q1 2028 >Intel Druid Q1 2028JEDEC will finalise DDR6 spec by 2028/9 so Zen7 in 2029 might do a dual design like Intel did with Raptor Lake DDR4/5 support.

DDR6 is going to be INSANE and you’re not ready. DDR5 launched at 4800 MT/s and DDR6 is rumored to start around 8800 and scale to 17600, with a possible extension up to 21000 MT/s down the line. That’s over 3.5x DDR5’s launch speed and double its current ceiling. Peak module bandwidth is around 134 GB/s versus DDR5’s 67 GB/s. DDR5 split each DIMM into two 32-bit subchannels, and DDR6 is going to FOUR channels per module, with banks going from 16 to 64, so way more parallel access when everything is hammering memory at once. Voltage drops from 1.1V to around 1.0V, on-die ECC gets a big upgrade, and NRZ signaling looks like the favorite over PAM, which means a cleaner path to these speeds. And on top of all that you’ve got CAMM2 coming for the form factor. Regular sticks are hitting a wall at these speeds because the long traces and slot connectors wreck signal integrity, but CAMM2 is a flat module that screws down onto a compression connector, so the traces are shorter and cleaner and it can hit way higher speeds. One module runs full dual-channel by itself, it’s much thinner than SO-DIMMs so laptops get slimmer or fit bigger batteries, and unlike soldered RAM you can still upgrade it. Core counts and iGPUs have been starving for bandwidth for years, and this is the generation that finally feeds them. The jump from DDR5 to DDR6 will be bigger than the jump from DDR4 to DDR5.

>>110112591supporting a mobo platform and building cpus for ddr6 platforms is going to cost amd/intel money if the ram costs too much and the volume of sales are substantially lower
>>110106949Go for Saiyin. They're cheap yet sound really fucking good as long as you have an amp to feed them. They have active speakers too that are probably just as good.
>>110112603You think hyperscalers haven't already signed long term supply agreements for ddr6 with hynix/samsung/micron? Consumers are not the market for memory anymore.

A Macbook Neo is all you need.
I know this is tangential but since it's a barebones kit I did build some of it I just need to rant.Why the fuck is USB such a pain in the ass, my mini pc has usb4 ports that refuse to work with my tb3 egpu enclosure, everything else works, I can even chain a tb4 dock and the egpu off that, but whatever stupid little chip they bought refuses to work and now I have to buy something else and deal with the entire rma process fuck.
>>110112826who would even need a gpu for that much money? i mean really need it

Reminder that no matter how dirty your AR coating on your OLED gets, never ever clean it or it will get scratched. Or just accept that to make proper use of an OLED you must have it in a completely darkened and blacked-out room.
>>110113079im peeling that shit off so its just left with pure glass, no scratches anymore
>>110113076Don't get me wrong, the device is trash and a complete waste of the processing power in it, but the problem is that everything else is even worse, so $800 so one can have acceptable build quality in a portable device it is.
>>110113089It's kinda awesome that this tech has been around for a while and still no one has any idea how to make it any more durable. QD-OLED still needs a fully blacked out room to be enjoyable, I guess.

>>110113160iphones are popular everywhere
>>110112762Phones aren't the same thing at all. The reason poorfags can afford 1k-2k phones is because its simply a monthly payment added on. It's also usually zero interest so its actually stupid not to do this when you factor inflation. That and i bet most people don't even pay to keep thier phones and upgrade each year

>>110113220Not anon, I don't know what the US is like since they have real nvmo's. But in canada the ISP monopolies create a price ladder, where the cheapest phone plan is $35 for a gig of data ($15 plans exist but forbid you from expanding your 150mb of data, you need to bump to $35). Then for $40 they offer 10gb, then unlimited at $50 and etc. But if you get a phone it's just $5 extra for 2 years and it's basically half the price of the phone. For example I could've got a samsung Z fold 8 for $800 CAD for an extra $30 a month (normally it's $2k).So basically the poor people who aren't buying new phones every 2 years are paying for a overpriced plan.

Nvidia is withelding AI chips from AI companies because they are using competitor chips from AMD.https://dealroom.co/news/163418-nvidia-reportedly-turned-away-neoclouds-from-gtc-berlin-for-adding-amd-a/Quasimodo predicted all of this

>>110106764heater circuit for maximum performance?
>>110113786The RTX 5090 laptop edition is on par with a 5070 desktop.
>>110113764the laptop chips above the 60 series are scams. They have less vram because they physically use a lower tier chip. So the 5070M is using the 5060 chip. And the 5070M TI is using the 5070 desktop chip. And sometimes they use the 3gb chips (the chips that were supposed to be used in the cancelled super series) to extend the vram, that's how the 5090M has 24gb instead of 16gb (since it's using the 5080/5070 TI chip). You can view the chip on the GPU on techpowerup.

>>110111524>Let's not pretend you care this much about CS2 performance when you're shopping for an ultrawide monitorI don't buy into the "small monitor is better for comp" meme, nor do I use a stretched res. If I was to use 4:3, it'd be native or not at all. I do however play more than just CS; modern titles like The Finals or Arc Raiders for example, which can look great in ultrawide. If I can have both a more responsive experience and a more immersive image, then that better matches all of my needs. Not all players want the same experience, and not all pros are 'right': their retarded fixation on low DPIs despite inferior input latency is evidence enough of that.
AMD is much smoother than Nvidia
>>110114109Meanwhile RTX 5090
>>110114123just the driver overhead on your cpu m8cs2 is a dx11 title after all
>>110114025why are rockstar such fags about releasing stuff on pc?
>>110114160gee I wonder who has a deal with them in order to sell more consoles
>>110114160not up to rockstar. their publisher taketwo does all the business. playstation & xbox pay big money to keep it off pc. even gta4 was horrific on pc on purpose to sell more 360 units.
>>110114142Historically Nvidia always had the DX11 advantage but now that seems to be no longer the case.
>>110113752Actually I turned on my computer today and the drive was showing again. But I did a scan and the health said it was poor so I don't have a lot of hope. Going to pray for a decent black friday sale and try to get a 2/4tb drive so I can offload the important stuff and try to limp by for another year.
>>110114235Go ahead and buy Radeon if you still obsess over DX11 games.
>>110114355>the health said it was poorAnon - 1. Get your loli collection off of that thing NOW.2. Don't be poor.

I think it's kinda gay buying a PC when dedicated gaming machines aka consoles exist.
>>110114478we use our high end computers to shit post on 4chan
>>110114478My PC is a dedicated gaming machine.

>>110114109>>110114123>>110114235>>110114365CS2 was always a positive outlier example for DX11 on AMD. It's not even close to representative of AMD's persistent DX11 driver problems
>>110114687>MD's persistent DX11 driver problems>as oppose to the documented issue of driver overhead on nvidia gpus
>>110114698You can obsess over DX11 in 2026.No reliable person has ever claimed a Radeon card helped outclass a superior opponent in CS2.I don't see pros complaining to tournament organizers that they need to switch over to Radeon cards from a 4080 / 5080.At the end of the day, it's always PEBKAC.
>>110114478That's nice. I think its fun to build gaming computers and I've been doing it for 20 years.
>>110114805>everyone has equally shit equipment making it fair
>>110114832The most important Counter-Strike matches have been rendered on GeForce cards for decades.You can cope and seethe.
>>110114698The DX12 overhead on Nvidia is usually minor (a few FPS when CPU limited) but AMD's DX11 overhead is often crippling below 60 FPS even with good CPUshttps://youtu.be/TXrmytRkIVs?t=730
>>110114905>intel sponsor>nvidia sponsor>benq sponsor>logitech sponsor>razer sponsor
>>110114919You are desperately coping.0 reputable pros complain about having to play on tournament systems with GeForce cards.
>>110114955yeah because that would make sponsors drop out and they would get in trouble with their organizations. when you get payed to play a video game there is not really much to complain about unless you want to lose your job.
>>110114966>they totally don't complain because of sponsors but THEY WOULDLMAO
>>110114966Just shut the fuck up with your schizo rant and enjoy your Adrenaline micro stutters.
>>110115004who cares what they should or should not. you brought it up. better 1% lows are better or do you not agree with this? does a pro have to tell you that a game running smoother is better before you believe it? >>110115008>ailel
>>110114966CS2 pros complained about tournament systems not having X3D CPUs, regardless of sponsorship issues.You can shut the fuck up with your juvenile "MUH SPONSOR" excuses.
>>110115027>you brought it up.actually, I'm a whole different nigga who is laughing at your stupidity
>>110115027>>ai>lelThe micro stutter issue exists whether it's summarized by the AI or not.And it happens on /pcbg/'s favorite RDNA3 GPUs.
>>110115030because their systems at home have those probably which are sponsored and payed for by their sponsors who work with their organizations in providing hardware for them. when they stream they show off their systems or link to them. custom or oem. doesn't matter. >just buy from this guy who build my computer goy
Nigger.
>this retard has issues with his computer>that means everyone has his issuesretards shouldn't be let near computers
>makes nvjeets seethe
>>110115087>his computerStill not fixed, nigger.And the guy you're criticizing actually gets paid to optimize PC & CS2 settings for million dollar tournament organizers and professional team's training systems.Go fuck off and run that CS2 benchmark, and enjoy the micro stutters like a NIGGER.
>oh you just need to change all these settings and then your AMD gpu will work kindaWow...epic
>reddityeah go back there
AMD Gaydeon drivers are still not fixed.
>i believe so yeahtrust!
>>110115116Go back to your microstuttering DX11 CS2 benchmark, NIGGER.
>>110114109>>110114123>microstuttering>you get better lows on amd actuallykek
>>110115148In a closed benchmark that is non-representative of competitive gameplay performance.Stay in it.
>>110115123>AMD Gaydeon drivers are still not fixed.It's been this way for so long. Lets hope their new jeetcoding facility makes it better.
>runs a cs demo file>still better lowsjeets still can't explain this kek
>'No, no! I know what I'm talking about because I run a sloppy Steam Workshop benchmark!'>'Forget the guy who's paid to tune PCs & settings for PGL, Fnatic, and Vitality CS2 teams!'
>payed to tune computersa subhuman then. a charlatan. a jew even.
>>110115188Stay in those demo files & benchmarks.Don't pretend you have a clean test system to make exact side by side comparison either.We know you can't afford a GeForce card.
stay on reddit and your gpt prompt. where all the retards have issues.
>>110115217It's a shame you can't imagine someone getting paid for doing things they're good at.You can't personally relate to that experience.
>tune everything on the system>nothing changes>enable xmp>performance goes upretards pay for this shit?
>>110115242Don't generalize the PC tuning process to your limited knowledge.I wouldn't be surprised if you're the same AMD nigger advising people not to undervolt their processors in these threads.
>chubby chaser undervolts and tunes his 5950x>says his tuning is stable>has usb disconnect issues>blames the platform instead of himselfkek. pc tuners are so pathetic.
>>110115274See? It's the AMD nigger I thought of, so predictably retarded.
>it's the chubby chaser faggotkek
>>110115291I don't watch his content, you're the one who's got that fraud stuck in your head, rent-free™.Typical loser, bringing up the worst personality because he's an easy hit.This is like dismissing the entire human race because of (your) existence, you're just a terrible sample.
>worst example>posts screenshots from reddit
>>110115333Aren't you the same guy expecting things to just werk? Because AMD drivers don't. Adrenaline doesn't.Be sure to apply the stutter fix in Adrenaline before you rerun those demos & Steam Workshop benchmarks.
i never had to do anything to my system and it runs stable since i built it with no issues. cope and seethe.
>>110115361The one who's coping here has been you this entire time.The most significant Counter-Strike matches have been played on GeForce cards, for decades.Not your demos, not your Workshop benchmarks. None of your coped-up excuses will change this reality.
>>110115361>Literal normie PC builder crying about RedditorsYou're closer to (((them))) than (us).
>>110115384nigger everyone here uses windows. i'm above everyone one of you. non of you niggers have ever installed gentoo. you are all just nigger cattle to me.
>>110115400Look at this loser forming his identify & personality around an OS.Too retarded to fine tune his PC anyway, because the issue is always PEBKAC.
>windows userslmao.
Some people just really need a tribe, even if that tribe is defined by whatever operating system license agreement they signed.Very sad.
>window user making up cope for using being windows cattle and not know how to use anything elsekek. that will never not be funny.
>>110115453I have separate boot drives forLinux and Windows, stop simplifying everything down to your level.You can't even relate to someone getting paid for doing a good job at something.
>i can't relate to some jewtrue. those pc tuners don't do anything. their tuning does nothing.
>>110115482Just because you and FagChasers suck at PC tuning, doesn't make it irrelevant for everyone else.Keep reinforcing your identity around Linux, AMD, and Radeon, You clearly don't have much going in your life.
>drop in to shit on windows users>leave againsorry rajesh but i work with linux and windows servers (unfortunately). i just drop by and call you niggers out.
>>110115561Bad larp, we know you couldn't even afford to pay full price for a Radeon card. Your insecurity is palpable.Dumb people like you have trouble staying anonymous in 4Chan.
>bad larpnot larping
>>110115618And now he's coping about his life.Enjoy your suboptimal PC.
>suboptimal pc>according to some jew asking for moneyyeah thanks. going to enjoy it. been enjoying it for now three years without issues.
>>110115650Like a bitch ass /r/IndianGaming Reddit normie.
>>110115561>i work with linux and windows serversThanks for telling us you wear a fursuit.
Cute, they're making LLMs that need haloperidol.
>>110115650The point is you don't have to pay anyone to optimize your PC if you know how to do it properly and thoroughly stability test it.But a disadvantaged minority like you wouldn't know your way around it.
That's crazy dude, I just checked my QD-OLED TV which does not have AR coating and it STILL has microscratches on the screen. Yes, you can only see them if light shines directly on them, but I did literally EVERYTHING right. I used a vinyl duster, I used brand new microfiber, I used distilled water. It STILL gets scratches. The screens look good when its dark but this tech is not ready for consumers.
i have actual experience with stripping down windows as i have to do it for server container installs with windows nano server and micro serveryou niggers know nothing
>>110115704*core server
>>110115704That sentence took you a while to research and bullshit.You still have a shitty job (if any), if you needed wait for a discounted Radeon card. That's humiliating.
>>110115666thanks satan
