What figurines do you guys have inside your pc?
Why did you guys FUD my 9070 purchase this card is fantastic
>>110174715I've been shilling the 9070xt for months, it's an amazing card, got mine at msrp in last years' black friday
what 27" 240hz+ oled monitor should I get
>>110174714used to have a single lego electrician character clipped to a wire years ago. always made me smile when opening the panel.
>>110174737how much an improvement is it over my 9060 xt 16 gig?
>>1101747461440p btw
>>11017474990% better (it's literally twice the card)
>>110174746if u have the coin, get the one with a QD-OLED RGB-Vstripe panel aka Penta Tandem
>>110174749Like 66% faster with 100% more compute units
the greatest hidden truthbomb in gaming is that 1080p and 1440p look the same and 1440p uses 2x more GPU for no reason, it is the biggest goy bait of the resolutionsit is criminal that they don't make real uw 1080p screens, only uw 1440p
>bought a 5060ti 16gb instead of a 5070I got memed by the VRAMIs this a big fuckup? Maybe this will pay off because of AI?
>>110175074I upgraded to 1440p this year and its definitely an improvement. Everything is just sharper. Enemies far away actually look like bodies and not just blurry blobs. I can be happy with 1080 but I'm glad I upgraded to 1440p
>>110175074depends on your viewing distance and monitor size. There is a reason why the common recommendations are 24" 1080p, 27" 1440p and 32" 4k
>>110175074You can still gayme at 1080 on 4k panels if your shitbox can't handle it properly. Personally I don't want to go back, just smoother fonts and more room for windows is worth it.
>>110175122If you have 64GB of system RAM you can run Strata with it at least.
guys do you thing its worth it to upgrade Intel Core i5-4690K to i7-4790K for like a 50$?higher frequency and double the threads
>>110175354yes
>>110173673How dumb would it be to buy a RX9070 non-XT for ~€600 at this point? Is the gap with the XT model really that noticeable?
>>110175681The only difference seems to be the vram and how undervolted they are.
Want to experiment with local ai which includes some model/point cloud stuff. 9070xt capable or 5070ti? Currently have a rx 6700xt so maybe i can pair it with the 9070xt? 5070ti is now 1350 europensos while 9070xt 950. Legit ass prices not gonna lie, my fault for being a waitfag
>>110175681I think buying any 90XX card would be a mistake given what they've announced for RDNA 5.
>>110175687VRAM is not an issue, the 9070 non-xt I managed to find is a 16GB model, the gigabyte gaming oc one.>>110175693Yeah but by then VRAM will cost 4 times this much.
>>1101756819070s can be soft modded with a vbios crossflashto perform like a 9070xt so it's a pretty good GPU
>>110175702That's perfect, I guess this is my chopper out of nam then. Time to sell my rtx 3070.
>>110175735just get one with dual bios as insurance for a bad flash, and avoid the 2 models that has the 12vhpwr connector

>>110176059should be yes, its new, less than 2 months of actual use, have 1 year on the store, but they are picky and can take uo tp 25 days while they review it
>>110176144AI gen can really burn through consumer grade cards, have you tried undervolting it?
>>110176329nope, but looking up stuff, also the help of my to go AI, it seems its some amd fuckery with drivers in combination with recent Linux kernels, and that I should update my bios, ill do that tomorrowbut I should undervolt it indeed
>>110176358yeah I've been having problems with every 7.2 kernel release, just straight up going into no signal after I login with gnome login manager. Linus is fucking something up with his vibeslopping.

I'm doing my research before building my new PC and looking at the state of things has me thinking I'm in opposite world. I have an Intel 9900k and I figured by now even bottom of the barrel Intel CPUs would offer SOME kind of advantage. I'm actually about to build and AMD CPU/GPU system due to performance and pricing. Never thought I'd see the day.
>>110178423But still more stable. Better memory controller, better chipset. No USB issues, better thunderbolt support. Lower DPC latency. 13th/14th gen were right enough terrible, I'll give you that. Nova Lake is bringing back AVX512 if you really care about that.
>>110178423The only advantage Intel has is idle power draw which doesn't matter for most people as the moment they load up a game or Youtube they are drawing more than 100 watts.
>>110178423Novalake that's launching in q1 2027 will be their return to formIt will have avx10 which is essentially a cleaned up version of avx512 as well as APX which will be a first for x86 CPUs
>>110178471>Lower DPC latencyall the dpc latency I get comes from the Nvidia driver. Isn't intel with AMD gpu a cursed combination?
>>110178471>But still more stable. Better memory controller, better chipset. No USB issues, better thunderbolt support. Lower DPC latency.yeah I'll be honest, I've not read enough on AM5 to see potential problems other than not using AMD on ASrock boards, but I'm just disappointed. >>110178480idle is usually a bad metric yeah, unless it's like a 1 use server or NAS with nothing going on. I feel like technology is going backwardsApparently Intel is making "Raptor Lake Next" which is usable on old DDR4 capable LGA1700 motherboards. Maybe I'll consider that and just keep using my existing 4x16GB kit. Saves me around $1000.>>110178498problem is other uses too. Will it be a return to form for Intel in gaming or will they continue to lose by 30% in every title? I've been on Intel for a really long time and was hoping to just hop into the newest, latest, and greatest. I guess I can wait for Novalake to see what it brings. The Raptor Lake refresh isn't due until q1 of 2027 anyway so I'm playing the waiting game regardless. At the end of the day, my 9900k fully supports AVX2 and handbrake utilizes all the tricks in the book to fully leverage AVX2 because of how wide spread it is. I guess I'm just let down by how little it seems CPUs have advanced. We're supposed to gain capabilities, not lose them
>>110178423Intel don't care about providing AVX-512 to consumer-grade CPUs, those are for Xeon processors.Their chip designs are prioritized for the highest bidders (servers & high volume laptop OEMs).The X3D was easy to implement because of using MCM chiplets and also having a significant process node advantage (more die area to place cache in more power efficient chips).
>>110178527Novalake will also have their version of x3d vcache which should let novalake stay competitive against the 10800x3dThe only thing I'd be worried about is the platform cost of z990
>>110178500They mean lower dpc latency thats comes inherently from the motherboard platform. Intel ethernet and Intel bluetooth/wifi just works while Realtek (AMD) tends to be shitty.
>>110178527>Will it be a return to form for Intel in gaming or will they continue to lose by 30% in every title?lmao, do you really think that's true?don't you remember how hard zen 2 CPUs like the 3700X were shilled against the 9900K by techtubers? a 3700X is unusable these days, while the 9900K is still viable, especially with some overclocking
>>110178423>encoding qualityLiteral audiophool-tier shit. You have to pixelhunt like a faggot to find appreciable differences between cpu and gpu rendering these days.AVX512 is a meme and AMD is a piece of shit resting on its laurels the way Intel was when they were doing 9 generations of 2c4t/4c4t/4c8t. Fanboys give AMD leeway for all sorts of issues.Are your comparisons and benchmarks taking into account cost? RAM support?
>>1101785993700X is still perfectly usable. It's the Ryzen cpus before chiplets that aged like milk. Ryzen 1600AF for example.
>>110178628a 3700X gets like 30 FPS in CPU-heavy games like BG3it's fine if you're still on a period-appropriate GPU, i guessbut you could keep the 9900K (or 8700K, or 10900K, etc) for FAR longer
>>1101786523700x is far more capable than that
AMD had shitty memory controllers? sure, of coursebut x3d was the biggest gaming hardware upgrade of the last 15 years and they deserve their market share now
>>110178652it gets 60+ fps in most titles. 1600af is a slightly weaker 2600.
>>110178664oh, all the poor people that bought into the zen 2 hype...https://youtu.be/e5xe0cy_cAE?t=457
I just want to buy cheap shitty 5400rpm HDDs without pulling down my pants and bending over, come on you can let me have this you don't really need them for your new machine god
>>110178696this video is over 3 years old the game has received several optimization updates since
>>1101785993700X isn't awful. My friend still runs one. It was shilled as much as it was because of price. Brand new it was like $330 to Intel's $550+ for the 9900k. Not to mention part of the allure was the ability to continue running your pre-existing AM4 board at the time.>>110178624If you're blind sure. It's no a 1:1 comparison I'm so concerned about, it's file size. A raw rip of the average 1080p Blu-ray movie is say 15GB. Encoding with CPU only using x264 and AAC audio gives a final file size of around 4GB to 6GB while retaining 99% of the same visual fidelity as the original. Using Intel quicksync or Nvidia NVEC make the encode go way faster but unless you up the bit rate to easily 3x the x264 encode, it looks fuzzy and like pure garbage. But once you up the bitrate that much, the final file size is nearly double that of x264. Same goes when using x265 for 4K rip. If you're someone who thinks Netflix 4K visual clarity is good, then this conversation is lost on you. I'm far from a placebo chaser, but I won't settle for shit just because it's more convenient.As for cost/support, that's irrelevant to me. I didn't buy my 9900k because it was on sale. I bought it and the best Z390 board I could find because it was the best on the market, the literal king of the consumer CPUs without going into HEDT. It's why I'm still able to run it 24/7 encoding near 9 years later. I'm neither AMD nor Intel fanboying. I'm an outside viewer who has been out of the PC building space for a long while because the last PC I built had such good parts and quality, I didn't need anything else. Only now am I starting to feel my 9900k getting long in the tooth. I come to the market and see Intel's offerings wanting, simple as.
>>110178725i wish CPUs could receive optimization updates>>110178727>It was shilled as much as it was because of price. Brand new it was like $330 to Intel's $550+ for the 9900ki know, but the problem is that techtubers positioned it as a legitimate competitor to the 9900K (or 9700K)those claims aged like milk, but people already moved on to the next shiny thing by then
>>110178727If you haven't noticed, the desktop market's been shrinking.AMD's chiplet design happened to make it easier to port over server features like AVX-512 support & packaging a 3DVache stacked CCD.Intel's decided to go with disaggregated tile architecture for their client CPUs, because they just have to swap the graphics & compute tiles depending on the product SKU.Intel's chip design team has been hamstrung by the physical design bottlenecks caused by Intel Foundry's advanced node production issues.
>>110178727Both untrue and retarded. Why would you even be using H264 in 2010+16 when there's HEVC and AV1 anyway? GPU encoding also isn't as bad as it was in 2010, which your thoughts seem to be stuck in.
wow the green vs red war wasnt getting enough (you)s so he switched to blue vs redsad
>>110178821compatibility. h264 is the most widely compatible for older devices and makes it so I also don't have to re-encode my entire movie collection which is around 9TB of stuff (encoded). I use h264 for 1080p and down. H265 for 4K, but still only using H265, no NVEC. I've done easily 20 different encodes using GPU acceleration and tried to keep them even in the realm of same file size as a CPU only encode while being similar quality and it just doesn't happen. I have my shit set up in a way of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I'm just trying to get a new CPU to do what I already do, but faster.
something really weird happened, I found out stress testing that the only core I have on my 5800x3d that is unstable is core #2, so I went on the bios and put all cores at -30 and #2 at -39 and the CPU idle temperature dropped a lot, it's actually kinda crazy, it would spike to 50s and 60s all the time browsing, that was the only change I've made, crazy, idk if it makes sense
>>110178882-29* obviously
>>110178860Sounds like you're hallucinating artifacts where there aren't any while having a retarded use case. Even decade old phones can do HEVC and VP9 just fine. What "needs" something as obsolete as avc?
OH BLOODY HELL
>>110179194i don't understand what i am looking at.
>>110179194This is why you should just set lower fan curves instead of whatever the fuck you are doing.
>>110179194>tags: wardrobe malfunction, exploding clothes, torn clothes
>>110179219Nah, that's just user error. I duct taped my foam instead of peeling off the adhesive sheet for permanent installation because I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit yet. It was only ever meant to be a provisional installation before I would do it permanently.
I regret buying oled monitors.

>>110180727You can get any 2x16GB DDR5 if it's significantly cheaper than the one you picked.There won't be too bad of a performance loss with an X3D CPU.
>>110176395What distro?Fedora kde here
I am still gayming with a ryzen 3600
>>110181092If you're not gonna go am5 why havent you bought a 5800x3d
It's pretty cool, you can just never see the scratches on your QD-OLED TV or QD-OLED monitor if you just refuse to let any sunlight into your room.
>>110181098I thought the cpu would have choked by now but it's been performing surprisingly well, it exceeds the fps benchmarks I see online in games like dragons dogma 2 and baldurs gate 3
>>110181092its a better cpu than the ps5's so you are fine for the next 10 years
>>110181121What gpu do you own
>>110181107I have a big ass window behind me and i have a permanent purple tint on my QD-OLED. Maybe i should have bought WOLED but i wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing i gave up on QD-OLED's superior colours.
>>1101811959070xt, so I should be very cpu bound
>>110181253oh def upgrade the cpu then
>>110181253Oof.
>>110181266Yeah, 5800x3d is next on the list once the divorce settlement is over>>110181277trust the plan
Bought a r9700 to replace my 2070s.I regret not buying my new gpu sooner, even just a few months ago.

Hey guys I’ve been having issues with my cursor sort of lagging. I used a different mouse and it’s the same thing. Even on a new laptop. I disabled enhance pointer and usually get all the updates
>>110181790Check BIOS for XHCI handoff / EHCI settings. USB 3.x controllers run in XHCI mode. Some BIOS/UEFI implementations have buggy XHCI implementations
>>110181832Alright I’ll try thanks
>>110181204I still feel like an asshole for getting mine scratched at all. But yeah, even with AR coatings, sunlight bad. And direct LED lightbulbs still shows a few places that look a little discolored. Actually sunlight might be especially bad on AR coatings. At least it looks good when it's lit up.

>>110176032>>110176059>>110176329>>110176395fixed it, no instant crash on ai comfy ui , finished the Onimusha demo as welljuts had to select a old kernell on boot, so yeah the newer updates are to blame
>>110181983nitro is by acer not asusidk if acer even exposes the option they are not that reputable
>>110181992tried cleaning the sensor yet?
>>110182018Ehhh. Am I fucked then? I hear people talk about “polling rates” forMouses can be affected
>>110182030Yeah. It’s a relatively new one too.
>>110182031try to see if acer offers a bios update or ask their support why the mouse is slow
>>110182047plug and cable free of debris? is your UEFI the current version as per the manufacturer website support page?
>>110182058I’ll have to. Don’t want to be a bother but does that polling rate thing do anything? Maybe I should download a software regarding my mouse, a Logitech
I imagine that if you use those 3x pcle to 12vhpr adapters your pc just immediately melts into slag and burns a hole through your floor. I can't believe GPU manufacturers include them with their cards
>>110182126turns out pushing 450+ watts through a single cable is a bad idea.>>110182063its mostly the gamer mouse that let you adjust polling rate, generic mouse dont have that option.
>>110182205Ok that didn’t do anything but my make the cursor slow. Though I did notice certain spots of the monitor was areas the cursor slowed down on and when I moved the mouse to the right(in the pic) I think it didn’t lag as much. Maybe I need a mousepad. The yellow spot is where the mouse usually is.
>>110182225mouse battery status?
>>11018224584%. It’s a charging one. Which is funny because my old battery one had the same issue and if I get a mousepad and it starts to work, now I can see why
>>110181470Why didn' you buy when supply was good and prices low?What were you waiting for?
>>110182273i was waiting to get hired.then i got hired.started saving coins.few months later (((you know who))) made life harder and my coins are worth less.then things started becoming unavailable unless you were a scalper with a web-bot and third party account.now things are becoming unavailable.
Any chair enthusiasts here? Unsure on where to research for good chairs to accompany my pc
>>110182437search your local area for office furniture wholesale or surplus or used and new... something like that.there are places within business parks (warehouses) that specialize in office furniture. sometimes they have open show rooms.that can be a good option. avoid the "gamer" chairs completely.
>>110182437check out chink chairs on amazongo for mesh for breathability, adjustable handrests, lumbar support, head support bonus for being able to move the bottom back and forth then order glide replacements for the wheels since those are redundant
i'm about to get a 7700x for $220 instead of waiting for zen 6.is this retarded? idk what pricing typically looks like for amd cpu launches.
>>110183086that's fine. zen6 isn't getting released for another 4-6 months anyway and is socket compatible anyway if you ever change your mind
>>110182459Buying used furniture soaked with someones elses fats and ass sweat is kinda disgusting.
>>110183086its pretty odd you bought ddr5 and mobo before zen 6 launch
>>110183104what if the previous owner was a hot early 30s milf
>>110183109isn't it am5
>>110183116If you like menstrual blood
>>110183116That's cooties man.
>>110183138>*SNIFFFFFFF*
>>110183133yes but usually people go cpu first, then mobo + ram
>>110174021Anyone really would pay 1.3k$ for a 5070ti? Why not get rx9070
I got clowned on here about 1.5 years ago for buying a 4060ti 16gb for 450 dollars new.also got clowned for replacing my 2x8 ddr4 3200 for 2x32gb ddr43200 for around 100 dollars in the same period.Both of those moves were great moves. Apologize.
what 27" 1440p 240hz+ oled monitor should I get? none of that tandem shit just a good ol' classic qwoled+lgbtqa++--- for me
>>110183181should have gotten something better desu, but I guess you're strapped for cash
>>110183181You couldve bought a 4090 for 1800$and am5 system with 9800x3d and 64gb ddr5 ramwhat were you thinking?
>>110183104you're uninformed and ignorant
>>110183216no I'm not, the only exception is if it's made out of leather, where you can actually wash the shit off. But leather makes your ass sweat too after prolonged sitting
why do they make chairs impossible to wash anywayif you could remove the padding you could wash it, but they nail it down or glue it its honestly bizarre hygiene behavior from an industry
>>110183223whatever
>>110183223>it's made out of leatheryeah no thanks. I'd rather not kill animals because I'm hindu.
>>110183223let's be clear. i'm not suggesting you should buy someone else's used fart limiter.when you look for that "used" chair, it should be cleaned and only "gently" used. like it was a spare in the conference room or something.use some discernment.
>>110183181wasn't the 5060ti already out by then?
>>110183223you're not buying from another gamer, you're buying from a corporate office who shucked them off to a used furniture retailer

Is it worth the effort for me to sell my 9070 for a 4070 ti super? No extra cash from me, just a sell and a buy; they're the same price on the second hand market in my cuntry. Considering I got the 9070 for 600++ and I can now sell it for 900++.
