you had the entire first 3/4 of 2025 to build a new PCwhy didnt you?
I already built one in 2024
>>730924371i built a new one at the end of 2024 but im paranoid wondering what i'll do if one of my components decides to shit itself out of nowhere. I still have old components from my previous build but those are in poor shape due to an accident that happened while moving
>>730924573based, specs?Mine>7950X3D>Radeon 5800(I think?)>32GB DDR5 ram>4TB Nvme
>Previous build lasted 10 years before it couldn't run the latest games at max settingsBuilt a new machine right before the AIpocalypse Don't worry poorfags, you'll be able to afford a high-end machine if you save your NEETbux for a year.
>>730924371maybe this will force /v/ to learn that DLSS and frame gen are actually very useful and frankly revolutionary technologies with few downsides compared to the benefit they provide
I own a house. Single family, detached.
>>730924371Waiting for AI bubble to crash in 2027 and for Nvidia to come crawling back begging for my money
>>730925019>AI bubble to crashthis leads to instant WW3
2023i9-13900KF4090 24G2x 32GB 5200 DDR5I'll be fine for a bit...
>>730924905but, you see anon, theres a little bit of ghosting going on that you dont notice unless you record it and play it at 0.2 speed! the fact that i get 50 more frames in return doesnt matter okay??
>>730924905You will never be a real frame. You will always be a mockery of a resolution.
But I did so I'm perfectly happy with game specs stagnating frm now on
Because my 3080/5950x build isn't even 5 years old but now I'm considering just splurging on the high prices and doing a 5080/9800x3d build because the doomers are getting to me saying that personal computing is done for or the prices won't come down for another 5 years at the least. I can wait like 2/3 years max but I'm scared things are going to be even worse.
>>730924371Because I am busy survivcing as a third world shitter to care about new pc parts.
I honestly, legitimately, don't give a fuck about upgrading anything, my card is the most common card in steam, all the games should be made with my card in mind.
>>730925269that is indeed a very sexy build anont. 4070 ti, ryzen 7700 - bit jealous we arent getting multi frame gen on 40 series desu but those 50 cards were super overpriced when you compared their actual raster performance vs 40 series so i dont regret sticking with 40 series
>>730924371WEYN deed u STELT geytee u haynds dootee my GOUD poyweltoo??
>>730925384jesus fuck get a ssd and clone your windows install to that, then get a cheap 1080p monitor that has a refresh rate above 60hz
>>730925458i find it impossible to go back to 60hz after experience higher refresh rates so IMO I would recmmend he stay on a 1080p60 monitor until all this mess gets sorted out and he can upgrade to a better GPUhis 3060 is perfect for 1080p60. But yeah he should get an SSD (if he can find one reasonably priced - big ask these days)
>>730925458No, I will use my parts until they explode.
>>730925552he can run old games at high refresh rates and the r5 5500 is perfectly able to do that, screen tearing is mitigated by getting a monitor with freesync and using a displayport cable.>>730925607ok retard
>>730925389>that is indeed a very sexy build anonThank you, anon>>730925384>reeee, notice me, corpo-senpaipicrel
>>730925651>he can run old games at high refresh ratesthen hes going to be miserable playing any new games that he would otherwise enjoy and sacrificing graphics settings to try and match the fluidity of his old gameseven with VRR i can easily tell the difference between 60hz and even 90hz, and 60hz looks fucking TERRIBLE to me now
>>730925729he will have a lifetime of games to enjoy before this mess gets fixed, no point in double dipping on a monitor
>>730925729I won't fall for that slippery slope, it already happened with 30 I won't let it happen again with 60Ignorance is bliss, and I shall remain ignorant.
>>730925805Lots of older games, even on PC, start breaking above 60 FPS.
I did. 9800x3d, 64gb cl30 6000, 7900xtx. Gpu sucks at rt but absolutely shreds through anything without rt no problem at 4k with plenty of vram to spare for graphics mods.
>>730925921depends on the game, most western games (especially fps) are fine, others have a cap of 60 where you have to edit a config file to go higher, then there's the ones that are broken above 60 where you need to cap the frame rate or get a fix like a .dll file, like checking out pcgamingwiki, literally no excuse for not having a high refresh rate monitor.
>>730925651ok retard
The human eye can't see past 60 fps.
>>730926026you are a joo is my excuse, joo.
>>730925921>lock to 60>framegen to 120butter
>>730926057poorfag cope
I did. I bought a 5070ti at release and got a 5700x3d and 64gb of ram to go with it.
>>730925607Holy based.Retard consumers will never understand this mentality but you're 100% in the right here
>>730926136If your eyes see past 60 you will go blind.
>>730926072yea frame gen on 60fps locked games and emulators is one of its best uses
>>730926136post nose, jew.
>>730924371Already did in 2021
>>730924371I work in the industry so I just play in the ridiculously high end PC my employers provide me withbeen doing this for the past 7 years or so, its like being sponsored to upgrade your PC for free every year
>>7309243715000 series sucks ass
>>730926303You don't play anything, all you do is shitpost everyday, retardo.
>>730924371Kinda true saw the writing on the wall and built mine before the Ram crisis
>>730926246>can afford things = jewPoorfag logic checks out.>>730926219once you try 90+, your eyes will suffer at 60.
>>730926406Literally me.
>>730926550So I won't play at 90+ I think 60 is perfectly fine, going higher means stronger parts and stronger parts means wasting money on them only for me to eventually crave even more power and more frames.Is like that shitty South Park episode about chasing a dragon and drugs or some retarded shit like that, you will never reach the dragon, but you will keep paying the price in an attempt to reach it.
>>730925383this but i am privileged and white and got my 64 sticks>>730926406this, genuinely
>>730926767But do you rent?
>>730926742Gotta disagree with you on that. IMHO this dragon desn't fly far. 90-120 is the golden FPS. I wasted money on a 240 MHz monitor.
>>730926550I can afford it, retarded shill. kill yourself.>DUE THIS NEW TECH IS LE AMAZING>Try it out>Pure shilleryReminds me of how retards claimed 1080p was also amazing and shit back then when everybody had 720p, retards all of you.
>>730925383I'd call you a poorfag, but I'm genuinely sorry for you, anon. Hope you can get out of the shitter.
>>730926838He does. He is a retard shitposting for attention that pretends owning some sticks of ram before the price spiked makes him "rich".
>>730924371Genuinely how long are things going to be fucked and how long will it last for? Should I just bite the bullet and build a new one now since I was resting on my laurels for too long.
>>730924905kys
>>730924371nothing interesting came out. 980ti and a 10 year old CPU runs everything that i want to play, and until that changes whats the point of buying a new pc.
>>730926997>bite the bullet and build a new one nowThis would be financially fucking retarded. I shiggy-diggy.

>>730926927> t. owns a 1080pIt's good, isn't it?
>>730924371I'm genuinely fine with ddr4, but now that ddr5 is a rare commodity I'm mad I didn't upgrade.
>>730927201I only play old shit, so I own a 1060 6gb and that's enough for me.
>>730927079>>730927196So are things actually going to go down in price and go back to normal at some point then?
>>730927160>when you could've bought a better gpu instead of spending it all on flashy gaymer lights
>>730927252lol no, all you hear is cope. And they will get mad and call me retard for this truth nuke.
>>730927239Oh no....oh nonononoooo :DDDDDD

since AMD clearly in collude with Nvidia to shit on their customershow long until Intel catch up?or whatever chink brand chink want to make?
>>730924371i've had 13 years to build new pc's but i haven't because i'm not a gamer cattle consumer

>>730928856If you have a monopoly on hardware why would you sell it to data centers when you can lease it? Or have a stipulation in the contract that when said data center goes under the cards have to be sent back to nvidia to be destroyed
>>730929228Dew it and post proof.

>>730930048>selling inventory at a loss is “greedy”Companies only do that out of desperation, that’s not how this works at all
>>730930275>custom case artWhat's it look like?
>>730924371I built a low end pc less than a year ago. I only play Indies and emulators. But honestly computers piss me off because of random chances of something happening. Like last night it froze for a second, screen went black, came back and my wallpaper was deleted. I check the windows log and it tells me the nvidia driver just crashed for some unknown reason. This is the second time it happens. I swear to god all I do is watch youtube, browse 4chan and play video games. I watch all my porn in my phone. Yet somehow shit like this can happen.
>>730930179Smart.>>730930275Nope. Not in the slightest. Got Aurora R15 Dark Side of the Moon myself. Got a bit of buyer's remorse there tho...
>>730925117Pretty sure it would just lead to every rich guy that invested into it to become broke and nothing else. The stock market does not reflect reality and neither does the money system we rely on.

>>730931398While low fps is a meme, you really can't see 6k fps which is what professional movie tier cameras do.
>>730924371Already built mine in 2022, the only thing that really needed replacing was the RTX 3070 because 8GB VRAM isn't even enough for 1080p these daysAs soon as I heard Nvidia and AMD were planning to raise GPU prices I bit the bullet and got a 9070 XTWould've loved to get more RAM so I could mess around with local AI but oh well

>>730926406the actual reason I upgraded my rigI mostly play rpg maker 2003 games128 GB RAM btw
>>730931731Does Speccy actually know something we don’t?… hmmmmmmmmmmm
>>730924371I upgraded my pc in april. It's not cutting edge state of the art machine, but it's good enough to run all the games I wanted to play on the highest settings. And considering I swore off triple a sloppa a long time ago, it's gonna serve me just fine for at least a decade
>>730931908Speccy understands what DDR means.
>>730924905dlss surebut frame gen? fucking lmao, your framerate gets a big fucking cut but you fell for it because nvidia had the idea to pass off what's effectively motion blur as more frames and you can't see past the bigger number
>>730924371I have a work MacBook that can run ToME, a PS5 for Shmups and Wizardry Variants Daphne installed on my phone (never spent a penny on it).

Before I had a job, I was considering drastic measures to keep my Coronabox going, like paying $200 for an extremely low latency DDR4 kit to squeeze as much as I could from my 10850k (juiced 10900k) + 1080 ti, which actually punched way above it's weight for pretty much everything but ShadPS4 and UE5 bullshit.

I did desu. I built a new one in like May of 2025. The only thing I didn't upgrade was my GPU and my anime/porn hard drive. licherally got 64 GB DDR5 RAM. I got mine.
My 5900X and 9070 already run all my games.
>>730924371I built a new one in the end of 2022ish and it has a nice glass-side tower, a solid AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU, and RGB 32GB DDR5 RAM (so there'll be something to look at through the glass cover).The only old piece is the GPU (Sapphire Radeon RX 580, 2017 tech), but has 8GB GDDR5 VRAM nonetheless and can run whatever I play just fine (the biggest games I ran on it were God of War 2018, The Witcher 3, and Cyberpunk 2077; all on mostly high setting, and while the resource monitoring readings all read 100%, the games ran no problem and I heard no mad fan action happening). Oh, also mid-range SteelSeries keyboard and mouse, as the olds ones weren't USB-plugable, that's how OLD my old PC was!My old PC died because I plugged an HDMI cable in. I saw a little electric arc between my tower and cable tip, my computer shut down, and refused to turn back on. I think the motherboard was fried. But from plugging a monitor in? Really?!I study CyberSec and need a strong PC to host several live virtual machines in my lab.Because it was for school, my mom paid for the parts (thanks, mom!). It was all about ~1000-1550$ IIRC. Came partly built. I know how to build a PC from scratch, but didn't mind they fitted the motherboard in, mounted the PSU, and placed the CPU inside at the store lab; I did the rest.
>>730924371I don't care about PC because it has no exclusives worth caring about this gen. That's why.
Upgrading from a 5800X3d and a 3080 didn't make sense at the time.In hindsight would've splurged for a 5080, but it is what it is.
>>730924371I acknowledge objectively that everything is not fine, but I also had the good sense to get mine long ago. Why didn't you?Unless you happen to be 7 and your dad is buying you right now your first computer so you don't grow a retarded tech illiterate imbecile, you have no excuses. And even then, your dad should have his own fully decked rig you could theoretically use (not ideal but feasible), plus old 8-10 year old rigs laying around he could hook you up with, so actually no you don't have any excuses at all unless you have an extremely shitty and retarded family.
>>730924371But I did. I didn't even need to since I only play old shit and my old PC is more than enough for it. At least now I have a spare in case something happens to the new one and shit gets too expensive to replace.
I have rx 6600, it does legit everything I want it to do. What's with all the upgrade threads? Do you guys really play AAA slop? I am still using 32gb DDR4 ram and I see no reason to upgrade.Guys, get better vidya taste. What the fuck.
>>730925458Why? PC works for anon's needs. >>730925651>NOOO YOU HAVE TO SPEND LOTS OF MONEY TO PLAY AND PREORDER AAA SLOP!!!!!!
for what games, exactly? what was worth building a brand new PC for?
Because I built one in 2024.

>>730924371My GTX 1660, 16GB ram and i5-9400F is enough for my indie and emulator needs and it can somehow run Wilds and Pragmata in 1440p therefore I do not need more
>>730924371I have no idea. i'm still using a 4670k so I really should have.
>>730941530so far I can play all I've tried on 1440p with no issues, just worried about the futureI have a little hopium based on forced optimization due to memory shortages
>>730940825Jokes on you, I don't even care to pirate E33, I just so happen to play games that I actually like, not FOTM slop.
