I use Arch. What GPU should I buy?

Can some kind anon confirm if this RAM is compatible with the MOBO?

>>105563250
3090 if you're white.

>>105563255
looks like it

>>105563255
Nope.

>>105563286
How do you know?

>>105563293
years of experience to tell me what I'm looking at

>>105563293
I checked their site.

>>105563250
5090 works fine on arch. Had no issues so far.

>>105563255
https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b850-a-gaming-wifi/helpdesk_qvl_memory/

check yourself but it's not in the table, not even a non-rgb variant or something with similar speed

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-n1x-20-core-cpu-performance-leak-reveals-high-end-ambitions

Very cool Jensen

>>105563298
>>105563305
>>105563323
But I already bought the RAM and the mobo is in the mail.

>>105563342
It might still run that fast and just isn't updated to the chart, and if not, you'll you'll just run it slightly slower (if it even is any slower).

>>105563342
just fucking with ya
you'll be fine

>>105563342
good chance it will still work fine, the table is just their "assurance". The higher speeds you go though the less likely it is to be stable if it's "not compatible"

Radeon makes such a good looking cards.. R9nano, Vega56nano, Radeon VII....

>>105563255
>>105563323
QVL list is just a suggestion, and not a be-all-end-all list.

It's simply a list of RAM working at confirmed/specified speeds. As long as you're not doing anything outrageous, 95% of RAM should work at motherboard supported speeds.

When in doubt, just go with major brands like G.Skill or Crucial. Corsair is a big 'meh'...

lmao I didn't know that they could be incompatible

>>105563206 (OP)
>Sticky is recommending not only a Noctua cooler, but the latest and greatest with the price premium

>>105563396
You're fine
If it doesn't work, then just return it.
Amazon typically has a lenient return policy--the most that will happen is that you'll delay your build for a few days, but otherwise you're gucci and/or you can always run it at slower speeds for better compatibility.

Angry? Frustrated?

>>105563463
The Radeon card owner couldn't orient his CPU cooler properly.

This is a daily reminder that you should be upgrading to a 4k OLED and no you do not need a 4090/5090 to play at 4k, even a 5070ti or 4080 will look better at lower settings on 4k monitor than maxed out with 500+ hz 1440p OLED monitor. Unless you are on a professional Esports team, there is zero reason to ever choose a higher hz 1440p monitor over a 4k one.

>b.bbbbut muh refresh rate

Even 60fps on 4k is far superior to playing at 500fps on a 1440p anyone saying otherwise is just a retarded poorfag coping they can't afford it.

>>105563478
Frustrated?

>>105563410
NH-D15 G2 is a "buy once, cry once" type of purchase.

>>105563498
Literally not my problem.

>>105563463
I do the same thing, cable management is a meme. the easiest way to plug a thing in is also the easiest way to unplug it when you want to continue working on your shit which is also the only time you're looking at the cables (windows are also a meme)

Pre-built chads ww@??

>>105563663
The only prebuilts I trust are from starforge.

>>105563463
>>105563570
The only think I will say otherwise is, unless you're using a fixed backplane, the HDD power is facing the rear, mandating uninstalling the back panel to add or remove drives.

Otherwise, it's fucking fine

>>105563675
>Dick PC's

>>105563717
They're on sleds, they slide out

>>105563481
60fps is always inferior so I really don't see your point.

>>105563481
To each their fucking own
If you are going to spring for a 4k, get a QD-OLED monitor.

Otherwise, pixel density is a thing, so if you do stick with 1440p, don't go above 27/28 in.
>Got one of the first relatively expensive Dell Gsync 1440p monitors
>Still works great despite missing modern creature comforts like HDR

How does full HD look on a 1440p screen?

Bwos I'll be putting a PC together for the first time and I'm scared I'll fuck up and break everything and waste a shit load of money and never recover mentally

>>105563741
You still have to remove the back panel to uninstall them, you dork
>Unless you have a backplane

>>105563803
No. I slide them out and take out the cables.
This is not complicated.

>>105563788
Like ass, but beggers can't be choosers
Also never buy a monitor unless you've seen it in-person
You may even want to take a laptop to a brick and mortar store to test image quality, especially at lower/desired resolutions.

If you're on a budget, being picky is a luxury

>>105563803
you're the one that can't greentext right, and if there's enough slack in the wires he could be unhooking them after pull it completely out. Of course, we know there's not enough slack in the power wires for that, that would mean using an extra foot of cable over the minimum, so that's obviously not the case, but it's equally obvious there's no backplane.

>>105563834
Whatever, you do you
Still would make more sense if power and data were on the other side, but enjoy what small vanities you can afford

>>105563788
I had my Switch hooked up to my 1440p Monitor and the games would all look fine but on my PC when I set a game to 1080p it would look awkward.

>>105563847
>"You're posting wrong!"

>>105563857
Shit, it'd be more complicated to have the cables sticking out from the front.

>>105563888
Once upon a time, that wasn't the case
But case manufacturers are prioritizing aesthetics, so you have yo go out of your way for convenience as a result.

Getting a build for a birthday present, I don't care to assemble my own anymore after doing it like three or four times.

From ibuypower if you want to recommend alternate parts for the build on there, or I could go with a different builder open to recommendations. I play at 1440p at desk monitor but I also have it hooked up to a 50 some odd inch tv for laying back casual controller games.

>>105563788
like shit, just get a 4k screen instead.

>>105563926
It looks fine, just mind the thermals

>>105563926
That's a pretty expensive birthday gift. I want to be your friend anon

>>105563986
>Correction: you want to be friends with whomever is gifting him that computer

Should I use the 12V 2x6 cable from my MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 850 W PSU for the Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti?
Yeah, I know, the GPU is overpriced, but it's what I have right now.

>>105563481
1440p/144 is definitely nicer in games than 2160p/60. maybe if you only ever play grand strategy games is this debatable.

but it doesn't matter because we have LSFG so you can just 2x from 60 to 120 on your 4k monitor anyway. wont be as good as native but w/e. also for epsorts games you're not running at 4k, not even 1080p.

That reminds me, another plus to my 9070 purchase is that I didn't need to use the meme connector. Oh boy.

>>105563986
I forwent a couple of birthdays and christmaseseses to save up.

>>105563970
as in just in general or because prebuilts will leave the plastic on my cpu cooler? I currently have a box fan that exhausts from the side of my pc toward a window AC unit

>>105564030
5070Ti doesn't draw enough power for it to matter

Monitor bros......Tandem OLED's will be upon us very soon, just hold out a bit longer.

I love my 5090 and am waiting for a water block.

>>105564135
I also want a 5090...

>>105564152
Just keep an eye on the 4090 used market, 5090's are around $4000 here and for a while 4090's were selling for $3500 used. Right now though the price on them has already dropped $1000 as tons of used 4090's are being sold for $2500 and the price will keep dropping due to lack of demand.

Some shrink should write a paper on amd fanboy's mind. I have been building pcs since pentium ii and for some reason amd fanboys act the same despite the dacades of difference between their ages. I blame amd for it as well. Not many remember the prescott rescue kit released by amd. It was not an act of a serious company.

>>105563926
>windows 11

pretty stupid question but I've had the same drive for a long time, is it better to do a clean OS install or migrate to my new NVMe drive? And how would I go about doing that.

>>105563367
>Are transistors the main metric when buying a card?
Thats computing power minus architecture weakness and sleepy gpu blocks so yeas.

>>105564310
I'll have my old hard drives with 10 so I'm not really worried about that, but might as well have it for when games require it.

How do I clean cum stains from side glass panel?

>>105564346

>>105564346
Remove glass and clean it

Not currently building a pc but I like to muck around in pcpartpicker just to see what the most expensive builds look like.

I noticed that there are GPUs with AIO cooling solutions attached with large radiators and I was wondering how the hell mounting those things even works, especially if you're also AIO cooling your CPU.

Do you need a case that's able to handle both? Do you have the gpu radiator blowing out the back and cpu out the top or vice versa? I'm pretty curious and would like to see pics of setups like that.

>be a neet
>have enough for a new pc
>have an existential crisis about spending $2k for a new one when i'm used to only spending $1k in the past
learning about computer parts was a mistake, i miss the days where i grabbed the prebuilt for $1k that had bigger numbers and was happy. upgrading to 1440p seems like it costs an extra $400-$600 too over staying on 1080p and getting a 9060xt or 5060 ti instead and that's before the new monitors.

>>105564898
You should have gotten 1 good handheld PC instead

The only white PSU being sold in my country is the Gigabyte GP-UD850GM PG5W, but I heard it's shit, so I guess I won't be doing a white build...

Stoked about Celestial.

>>105564898

>>105564835
if you're not gaming and can tolerate 24" the BenQ SW242Q can be quite nice, it's 16:10 2560x1600, aimed at artists and stuff with decent color accuracy from the reviews I remember seeing, and should be ~400€ if it's like the RD240Q which I daily drive (also 16:10 but more aimed at devs and people who do text work)

>>105565162
>9060xt or 5060 ti
those are 1080p cards

>>105565398
I still hope that it will dry to the air.

>>105565402
I would like to stick with 27" 1440p because I have a second monitor of that same specs and I feel my OCD won't tolerate the difference.
Also I am no competitive gamer, 75hz is fine by me, bu I do game occasionally and plan to do some game development, so there's that.

>>105565431
yeah, i'm saying that if i stayed on 1080p and grabbed one of those i'd save a lot of money over upgrading to 1440p. like enough to fund half of another pc in 5 years.

Is it bad if I pair 9800x3d with a 3070? I wanna wait until next set of GPUs but wanna build a new PC and use an old gpu

>tfw fell for rpg meme

>>105565548
you're going to wait 1.5 years just to get a GPU and feel the need to buy a 98x3d now? lol that's retarded anon

>>105565548
what is your current processor?

>>105565528
higher resolution = less money needed for CPU as resolution reduces CPU load

>>105565548
waste of money, what's your current build?

>>105565548
It doesn't matter? You can even plug-in 8800gt.

>>105565162
yeah i'm in the same spot but just for building one in general. I have $4k and i'd be happy with a $1.5k setup but I feel like im too old to mess around on the computer anymore.

>>105565548
>9800x3d with a 3070
That's just dumb
if you are using a 3070 you are wasting money buying a 9800X3D

Will Druid launch at the same time as Celestial?

>>105565552
It's pretty nice

>>105565590
it'd be pretty cool if the 5070 had 16gb of vram so this wouldn't be an issue and $1500 would make for a nice build without having to be upsold to the 5070 ti. the 5070 might as well not even exist, it's ridiculous.

>>105565688
The 5070 crushes both the 5060TI and 9060XT at all resolutions

>>105565548

anyways if you look up that optiplex, you can see i like to do a experimenting, this is fun but also rather unstable, id like to get an amd cpu n motherboard proper, as well as a decent monitor, id also like to get an amd gpu for pure rasterization and use the intel for a vm or other tasks (i use arch btw) but i do make basic blender stuff n animations
(yeah no case im planning on mounting it inside that desk for something discrete)
as for why so crappy, well i fished the optiplex out of the trash and i got curious about how far i could push the poor thing until turned it into this

>>105565654
Druid is the succeeding GPU architecture to Celestial (A, B, C, D).
If Intel still can't make an RTX -70 tier competing card by that time, they need to focus on iGPU/APUs instead.
-70 tier and up cards are important because they're higher-margin SKUs.

should update the cpu rec to thermalright royal praetor 130. Outperforms the phantom spirit
Should also change the aio rec to id cooling fx360 or montech hyperflow, both of which outperform thermalright AND have quieter pumps/fans

how do I set a minium voltage for adaptive voltage in asus bios? I want the CPU to use as much voltage as it needs but always have a minimum of 1.3v going through at all times for stability

I have no idea what to do now. The card seems to run fine while it is unsecured but the second I push on it to try and screw it in it stops working which probably means it's not connecting properly anyway. I am fucking lost.

3060 12GB was released on Feb 25th, 2021 and a limited number of people were able to buy it at the base MSRP ($329).
9060XT @ $380 is not that terrible. Even 5060Ti 16GB for $429 isn't that crazy considering the 3060Ti had a $399 MSRP.

>>105566093
Doubt it, the media & display engines are on a separate tile.
That SoC tile is using a cheaper TSMC 6nm node iirc.
The Celestial cores are at least on TSMC 3nm.

Intel is not ready to sell a Druid dGPU.

The 9070XT is reasonably priced everywhere except America. Americans are the only ones buying them and are being actively punished for it with inflated pricing. What did AMD mean by this?

>>105566123
so 2027 for Druid?

>>105566105
>>105565786
But the cables will be black, right?

just how much better is a 5090 compared to a 5080?

>>105566214
The 5080 is literally a 5090 cut in half

>>105566220
Just use AI to make up the difference lmao.

>>105566214
The 5090 is a beast even compared to the 4090, however, it's cost is not reasonable. The 5080 can be overclocked very well, but it still falls just under the 4090. That's the pecking order.

>>105566214
its about 50% faster

I can't believe the 4090 cost $1600

>>105566248
Is it though? I have my doubts.

Like as an example, nobody codes for amd, so when people say ai works better on nvidia, it's more like, well, they literally designed it on nvidia hardware, and that's all they've ever used in their entire lives.

>>105566086
not fair to compare nvidia to AMD due to CUDA. and that 429 5060 ti is probably a scam listing or bugged and already sold out via scalper bots

WHY DID THEY STOP MAKING THESE?

crucial, though they are dram-less.

>>105566289
the main cost of an SSD is NAND flash, why would they keep making dogshit sata drives when NVMe are going to cost the same anyway

>>105566290
It was a great purchase indeed, 4000 series had a big perf boost too, unlike the 5000s which are more of a price update than a performance increase.

I'll replace thermal paste and liquid metal of a friend's laptop, I found the pic related online where the guy replaced both dies with PTM. Can I use regular thermal paste for the CPU with liquid metal on? Thermalright's Helios is also available as a PTM alternative but I suppose I need to cut it to size. The other option is the good ol' reliable MX-6.

>>105566633
5070 ti really the only "decent" all-round option in general now.

1. you'll want CUDA for random productivity shit so AMD is out. AFAIK they just suck compared to nvidia in Real Work™

2. the 60 class is sort of slow in general, like who really gives a shit about them. they get barely any faster every generation. anybody who needs that level of performance has already had it for several years. like nobody is upgrading from a 3060 to a 5060 ti.

3. 5070 12gb lol

4. anything above the 5070 ti is absurdly inflated and not worth it

NVIDIA always wins.

>>105567200
depends on resolution and refresh rate desired. a 3090 at 1080p will get you like ~120fps AVG in modern games at maximum settings. so that's the benchmark

all of these CPUs should handle that, but:

5700 has only 16mb L3 cache so it's garbage and we'll ignore it. 5900x is only 12 core so id ignore it for that price.

5600, 5600x, 5700x, and 5800x, and 5800xt are going to give you basically the same performance in games and should handle the 3090 without bottlenecking. 5900xt will be a touch faster in games. then there's productive applications, which might need more cores, et cetera... basically do you need a 6 core, 8 core, or 16 core CPU?

5700x3d would be significantly faster in games, but slower outside of games than the other options. the 3090 is basically as fast as a 4070, which wouldn't really take advantage of a 5700x3d

if you plan on playing at 1440p or 4K, the X3D is even more useless.

consult the charts in these for some recent data, but these aren't exact

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/17.html

you want the cpu to be significantly faster than your GPU. 720p reduces bottleneck and creates an artificial environment to find how fast they really are.

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/powercolor-radeon-rx-9060-xt-reaper-8-gb/31.html

>>105567200
5700x3d for gaming. 5900xt for gaming and productivity like streaming n shit.

>>105567359
>if you plan on playing at 1440p or 4K, the X3D is even more useless.
I disagree respectfully, having a better CPU gives you better performance when using something like DLSS quality or DLSS performance since it's rendering at 1440p or 1080p (performance) so it's not entirely true that x3d won't help at 4k.

>>105567327
at 1440p and above, the bottleneck is usually at the gpu
x3d would improve 1% lows, the 5700x/5800xt can makes up for it with faster ram

>>105567327
>bottleneck calculator
get cancer retarded nigger

>>105567327
don't use bottleneck calculators

the 5800xt is just a highly binned 5700x. it's worth like 6% more money.

>>105567349
Actually, 8gb VRAM is perfectly fine. Majority of gamers play on 1080p monitors.

>PCIe 28-pin (2x12+4) Ultra High Power, rated for 1500W
Adapter connects to two 2x6 connectors. For compatibility with older PSUs with only one or no native 12v-2x6, another two adapters are included to convert to three 8 pins (pigtail connections may work depending on expected draw). Primary adapter contains its own voltage regulation and balancing, hence some special stands or GPU-mounted hanging hooks are developed to hold that weight up and keep it away from any case floor fans. Wire gauge on the final lines increased from 16 to perhaps 14.

>>105567200
5700x3d if you only care about maximum FPS in video games. this is the only one that would feel like a proper upgrade from the 5500 in games.

5900xt if you do real multi-threaded work on your computer and need 16 CPU cores

5700x or 5800xt if you want something that's fine and gets the job done in both games and normal desktop software

It's a once in a lifetime purchase, like buying a nice set of silverware. Unlike AIO's or watercoolers which are constantly breaking down and potentially destroying your pc. Air cooling just works, like a classic muscle car it will never go out of style and only gets better with time.

>>105567403
There's no need to release a new 8gb card when there's already millions of them on the market

>>105567516
if you mainly want games then the 57x3d is the only real choice. the AI stuff is all GPU so pretty irrelevent i think

all of the other options would be like...10-20% upgrade on your 5500. 5700x3d would be closer to like 40-50% upgrade. like i said it depends on the FPS you plan on going for, what games you play, the settings you use, and resolution.

>>105563481
>This is a daily reminder that you should be upgrading to a 4k OLED

Am I gonna regret putting my fanhub on the side of my PSU?

>>105567774
not that bad, usually 1 to 2 weeks turnaround after they receive it back. broken mouse is actually the easiest since u can fish out an old mouse to use while yours is broken unless u don't own a second one. they're pretty cheap on amazon for 10 bucks if u need a mouse while its gone.

>>105567774
Better hope you never get a broken Pulsar product. My pulsar mouse left click died a week after the amazon return period ended. Took me almost another month to get a replacement. They made me send in two separate videos using some website to prove that my mouse wasn't working. All that time I had to wait for various korean holidays and such to end to get a response and it was back and forth for weeks.

Looking at monitors, assuming the same response time, panel type, and refresh rate, what exactly is the benefit to using an ultrawide/super ultrawide vs a regular 16:9 when the resolutions are usually so much lower? Wouldn't the amount of pixels on a standard 16:9 4k be way higher and thus more detailed games compared to a 21:9 1440 monitor? Is it just the "feel" of it similar to going from 4:3 to 16:9?

>>105568619

>>105568619
It's great for the 5070ti. 10% can close the gap between it and the 5080. This video is the best example on how powerful a simple OC is on the 50 series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgMlLuPSHY8&t=8s Try out undervolting too. You can get close to OC clock speeds while using a lot less power.

>>105568619
>>105568740
Every GPU from AMD/Intel/Nvidia gains 10-15% from OC. They don't get anymore than that since they're power limited unless you do modding. So most people end up undervolting instead of overclocking. You lose 3-5fps but you end up saving 50-120w. It's especially noticeable on AMD where there's no fucking point going above 3ghz when 2.7ghz is basically same fps.

>>105567801
I don't see why it wouldn't work on the backplate just above it, but no.

Have a 2080 super and want to upgrade. But the 5070ti and 5080 don't feel right for me at this price. 1200€ for a GPU with 16 gigs seems ridiculous to me. I want to have some future proofing but 16 gigs is just not it.

Should I wait for next generation?

>>105568771
wait for next gen or the mid-gen refresh (5080 super), swoop up 5070tis or 5080s for less than msrp. could also buy the 5080 super with 24gb of vram for 1499(?) which will basically be a weaker 4090. 9070xt and the 9070 are a good option if you don't care for CUDA meme, DLSS, and you don't use Blender.

My stock card seems to max out at ~2850 Mhz according to Afterburner (using ye olde Heaven while paused). Did the usual UV procedure but targeted 975 mV and pulled the curve up to ~3050 or so. Card settles on ~3030 Mhz, +5~10 FPS (140 to 150 on a scene or about +5%), minus 3~4 celsius. My card only allows 106% power limit however. It can go higher but its not reliable if I push it too much.

Check the manual if there is any mentioning regarding lane sharing with m2s. Some secondary slots tend to use the gpu lanes reducing it from 16 to 8.

>>105569171
Basically, you will highly-likely need to do what they show on their page. But the concept of single huge rad is cool, ngl. I would not buy tho without trusted reviews and real temp tests.
>The core technology that makes this possible is the Evaporator, it features a patented solid state (no moving parts) capillary pump that creates a pressurised vapour flow into the condenser, where it cools back into a liquid then flows to the evaporator where the cycle repeats.
It also has some proprietary pump. Pump is the pump - if it fucks up, well you need to buy the whole thing.

Enjoy your 5070 performance broh

How bad of an idea are the following pairings:
2700x with a asrock a320m ac motherboard
3700x with a a520m chink motherboard
I fear the VRMs getting too hot

>>105569280
NTA but you done fucked up. You'll just have to learn the hard way in about a year or so. Good luck.

Enjoy your 4080 laptop GPU broh

My z390 gigabyte boards and 4090 have been fine though
All brands occasionally make bad products but that doesn't mean all their products are bad

>>105569333
It's not just the products being poorly built but the support and RMA for gigabyte is truly the worst if you ever need their help.

There are a few but I'd rather buy something from a Google ad rather than listen to LTT reviews or such. As for the added fans necessity... that probably won't be so silent then lol. Plus I see that you need to buy special plates from them for GPUs and they will most likely heavily lag behind new releases since it's on a request basis. Still it's a cool gimmick that I will probably impulse buy and then regret

>price Nvidia
How tf is Nvidia here better? Unless you win if you're more expensive
>FPS
>wake up
So having better FPS is bad because..?

get a real job besides seething in a thread where nobody listens to you

Now how much of this is just because of cuda for AI?

>>105569343
I doubt they're worse than Asus who kept me waiting for an rma on a very premium motherboard that eventually took 5 months to conclude

>>105569307
Both are garbage, don't buy old crap

thanks for not answering my question

>>105569390
he did answer your question though, both are dogshit PCs you'd give your kid to play fortnite.

>>105569412
No the question was "Will these CPUs overload the VRMs?"

>>105569454
aight
they're cheap mobos but i doubt a 3700x will be a problem for your vrms. worst comes to worst you'll need to undervolt your CPU if you're stuck with these parts.

Why you're imposing your use case? For majority of players who play competitive games on 1080p monitors this is completely fine. If you need more you buy GPU with more VRAM.

What's the safest 5080 brand to buy? No asus or gigashart please.

feels good to have a good girl. Upgrading from a 3070
