I have a 3080 and kinda want a 5080. worth y/n

They see me buildin'

>>105624542
Not really IMO. There's too few games that /need/ more than a 3080 to get in a playable state. We are, however, talking about leisure equipment so your own opinion is really all that matters.

https://www.techpowerup.com/334024/intels-new-ceo-lip-bu-tan-reaffirms-world-class-foundry-vision-casting-doubt-on-spinoff-rumors
>At the time of crisis for Intel and uncertainty with foundry goals, Intel has appointed a semiconductor veteran as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO)—Lip-Bu Tan. In a letter to Intel employees, Lip-Bu Tan has quietly addressed Intel Foundry spinoff rumors, saying that his commitment as a CEO is to "restore Intel's position as a world-class products company, establish ourselves as a world-class foundry and delight our customers like never before." Hence, the foundry spinoff rumors are now not so certain.

https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2025/06/intel-will-lay-off-15-to-20-of-its-factory-workers-memo-says.html
>Intel plans to lay off up to a fifth of its factory workers, an enormous cutback that will have a profound effect on one of the chipmaker’s core businesses. “These are difficult actions but essential to meet our affordability challenges and current financial position of the company. It drives pain to every individual,” Intel manufacturing Vice President Naga Chandrasekaran wrote to employees Saturday. He said the company is targeting job reductions between 15% and 20%, with most of the cuts taking place in July. Overall, though, the layoffs will surely eliminate several thousand jobs – and quite possibly more than 10,000. Intel eliminated 15,000 jobs across the company in 2024, including 3,000 in Oregon.
Lip is everything the critics wanted to accuse Pat of being.
I guess Intel really enjoys getting dom'd by TSMC...

>>105624542
I remember the first benchmarks made it barely better than a 4080 but it's been some time now. Supposedly a version with higher VRAM will release but no idea if you need it. What's your use case anyway?

>>105624687
gaming and gooning. I only upgrade every 5 or so years

Damn he's posting the same 5 screenshots again... nvidiabros what will we do..

what if I just don't use dlss and don't buy the beaner 5060 card?

>>105624714
I see. Unless there is really something you want to play that needs it I'd consider waiting but then again I thought the same with the 40 series and the 50 turned out to be only marginal better while being more expensive. Not sure what will happen with the 60 series.

>>105624714
Please just make sure to post here and update everyone once your brand new 5080 starts black screening. I want to see your tears retard.

I have an MSI X570S EDGE MAX WIFI and have run it for about three years, prob 10K hours. The LAN port is a Realtek 2.5Gbe LAN and it started failing about 1K hours ago. Constantly just disconnects and reconnects immediately. All my other systems don't receive events, only this one. All my drivers are up to date including MOBO and I've tried numerous fixes all for naught so I've come to the conclusion its a hardware issue. I'm going to replace it with

Any foreseeable issues going from onboard LAN to network card any of you might be aware of so I don't waste my time? Thanks, anons!

>>105624818
Have you tried older LAN driver versions instead of updating to the newest?

>>105624801
Cope
>>105624811
MLID was right about everything for shartwell and rdna 4. Nvidiots just can't handle his truth so they deny reality until all his leaks are confirmed and then they pretend MLID didn't predict it.

>>105624832
Yup, this started about 4 or 5 versions ago. Tried rolling back to even earlier versions from before install date and no joy. Thanks, anon

I don't know why we fight. They're all shit companies but competition is good because we get better value as a result. I'm tired of Shitvidia gaslighting people into thinking 8GB is enough because they want to make even more profits.

>>105624847
The only other thing you could try is an alternative cable and see if this fixes it but I never had a LAN cable dying on me.

>>105624969
Wood is amazing, RGB is the gay one

>>105624991
I see. I sadly only ever had an USB adapter which would increase the latency slightly. I'd assume a PCIe one shouldn't have those issues but you might want to check online.

Completed it on Intel Arc.

>>105625024
Reason I went with the card instead of USB is because of latency. I was actually surprised how few cards are available on the market. I guess MOBOs all having them integrated for the past 15 years or so is the reason.

We know watercooling is worthless, but if someone is already going to use an AIO and plans to deshroud their GPU, would it be smarter to do a custom loop instead or is the hassle not worth it?

>Intel will enter the high-end GPU market next gen while AMD opts out again
LOL

>>105625067
How common are crashes on Arc in general?

You will not tell the name of this one.
Good old games.
Completed on Arc.

I know this is the build thread but if you had to get a prebuilt, what would be the best option? A family member is asking me about one and me building it for them or helping them do it isn't going to be practical.

>>105625113
why can't you build it for them

>>105624971
You're right, corrected that

>>105625115
They live on the other side of the country.

>>105625080
I dont even know if I could use a card like this without an adapter on my modern mobo cause I only have PCIe x16. The demand for Wifi is likely higher than LAN.

>>105625095
Call of duty dx11 does not have borderless and it crashed few times when i swich to windows explorer <-> game. And also if you skip shader pre compiling game setting it can crash at middle of the level.
On average modern games runs well.
Even crap like picrel.

Crazy how intards made fun of AMD for bulldozer ans fake cores all those years ago and now intel is going to launch this dumpster fire with double the amount of fake estrogen cores vs real cores. Meanwhile zen6 will be a 24 real cores 48 thread monster.

If your family member lives near a Microcenter, their PowerSpec prebuilt PCs are okay.
They can also pay a Microcenter/Best Buy employee to build a PC off of the parts bought in-store.

>>105625269
Who would have thought that one day AMD would have the best CPUs and no one would recommend Intel.

if amd good why doesnt anyone on steam have a pc with their cards

Dont know where else to ask, but im trying to undervolt my card in MSI afterburner but it just doesnt stick, I change the curv down to 0.950v and it still at 1,050v after I hit apply, it just doesnt go down, what do?

>>105625467
Ask the chinese.

>>105625545

LMAOing at ur life and shitty gpu

Would there be any problems if I stayed in claw grip with my mouse for most of the day?

amd's naming is so bad like how can you tell a 9950x3d is better than a 9800x3d. and like having the 5 makes it seem like its a low tier of the next generation

>>105625730
>bigger number better
>impossible to deduce
Gee cleetus, how come you can count!?

>>105625545
Don't use those "manual" overclocking apps, they're useless these days. Use the Nvidia or AMD app that came with your drivers. You tell it what you want and it automatically handles the rest. You lose precision but it'll handle it dynamically. Or turn on Automatic Tuning, wait about half an hour, and let AI™ find the best settings for your card.

>>105625755
u know how a 5060ti is better than a 3070? like that bc its easy to deduce what generation it is and what tier it is or something like i7 6500 vs 9700. i cant even tell what generation an amd anything is. its like everything starts with a 9 or 7 and which ones better is basically random

What's a good budget GPU for gaming? Specifically something $150 or under, i'm poor as fuck. I'm thinking something new but you can't really get anything good with that price new, I'm just concerned I might get something that's been used to datamine if I buy used. Im also willing to buy chink shit if needed but I am trying to stay clear of that. If you have any card recommendations/tips for buying, let me know please. Thank you.

>>105625774
>whataboutism
That wasn't the example given cleetus.

>>105625774
while I'll agree that the laptop chips have a garbage naming scheme, the desktop ryzens have the exact same naming scheme as intel what the fuck
thousands for the generation, hundreds for the tier (and general R5/R7/R9 naming), and occasional dozen for higher end chips
did you get confused by the i9 10850K or the i7 12790F too anon

>>105625666
I'd rather use MSIAB over the bloated garbage "apps" both AMD and jewidia really want you to install. Works on my machine.

How many people here just move their old hard drive to the new PC? Or just fresh install windows 10 or 11.

>>105625765
Don't listen to this retard. This automatic shit always is either super conservative and gives no performance boost or will be unstable and crash. Just test manually on something like super position or steel nomad until you find the max your card can do without crashing, then play actual games and if it crashes you dial it back. Repeat until stable and you have the max performance of your card. It's very simple and easy to do and if you can't manage this you should just leave your card on stock like a cuck.

>>105625792
what are talking about, the naming is what i was talking about. those are the examples. look at this chart. the names dont make any sense. the 7800 is better than the 79950 but the 9800 isnt better then the 9950. the 9900 is all the way down there yet the 9800 is the 2nd one. none of it makes sense

>>105625806
You should do a fresh install when doing a platform upgrade (and is less hassle when you DON'T have everything on C:\).

>>105625545
Watch how this video guide sets a voltage cap in AB's Curve Editor, you want to set a GPU Core offset first to OC and undervolt the GPU (most GPUs can handle +90~120MHz offset, higher requires stability testing).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPpW9yXHvOU
https://github.com/LunarPSD/NvidiaOverclocking/blob/main/Nvidia%20Overclocking.md#undervolting

You want to apply the curve afterward and save the setting to one of the five profiles.
Click on the Windows icon to automatically apply the current profile on Windows bootup, but only after you've confirmed the OC + UV is stable.

>>105624542
Basically double the fps in raw perfm, with dlss even more because DLSS transformer was made specifically for 4xxx/5xxx cards and higher.

>>105625666
You can find the most performant & power-efficient V/F offsets across the entire operating voltage range using MSI Afterburner.
Adrenaline doesn't provide such granular tuning.

What's the best performing AIO right now?

is 8 gb VRAM enough for gaming non-AAA at 1080p60 medium settings? and what about in the future?

>>105626038
>is 8 gb VRAM enough for gaming non-AAA at 1080p60 medium settings?
Should be fine for most non-AAA titles.

>and what about in the future?
For non-AAA games, I think it will be okay for the next 3~4 years.

>>105624673
576.28 working fine for me, a quick google reveals that a large culprit is using PCIe 5.0 in bios instead of 4

>>105626038
Go 12 or keep saving. Ideally 16.

>>105625545
Stop using voltage control and use the power limiter which does the exact same thing

>>105626038
To improve your 8 gb expirience you should look for full PCIe lane cpu like ryzen 7500f not 8400, then PCIe 5.0 motherboard and then x16 8 gb GPU.

Is there any 8 gb x16 v5.0 GPUs?

>>105625765
>Use the Nvidia or AMD app
Both are bloated pieces of shit that belong in the trash

I think thats the last chance for gpu manufacturers to sell you few more useless memory chips and make some free money.

>>105626247
>Before pcie v 6.0 - 7.0 release
Completely useless for consumer-grade parts, even a 5090 doesn't utilize all of 5.0

No, we speaking about vram intence scenarios and memory swapping.

>>105626321
right. he said consumer grade.

>>105626321
Well we already have 6.0 if you're worried about that, but it's not anything 99% of people are ever going to use or benefit from

what the reasons for gpu to boost beyond the max core/power limit when there's headroom
it is to have better benchmark results?

could installing new drivers have enabled something I might've unintentionally had disabled? I had 0 flickering on my OLED but after getting the newest nvidia drivers I now see VRR flicker
I'm not even sure if I had it disabled or not before, technically this monitor is just "freesync" and not gsync

>>105626394
>its meant to be played

>>105626394
well the logical course of action would be to remove the drivers and reinstall old drivers

>>105624646
>9070 xt for 700 or less
Better chance of finding a unicorn

>>105626407
>>105626410
okay i fixed it. it looks like it turned on gsync in the global settings so I turned it off and the VRR flickering is off now
I really never noticed any issues with gsync off every since i had this monitor, but i sure as shit noticed VRR flicker on my older OLED with it on

>>105624673

Learned this, picrel, the other day while researching my replacement. Maybe this will be helpful for future builders as well.

>>105625269
I honestly don't get what's wrong with the e-cores

What workload wouldn't scale with e-cores but would with p-cores?

I'm on a 3070 right now and i've been thinking of grabbing a 9600xt. Now before you call me a retard and tell me it's barely a performance uplift I feel like going to 16gb of vram vs the 8 i'm on right now will be very liberating and allow me to crank up settings and still get around the same or very slightly better frames. Newegg now doing the trade in means I can get $230 for my 3070 so that would effectively bring down the price of the 9600xt under $200. I know I could probably sell my 3070 for around $300, but $70 doesn't feel like enough to go through the hassle of selling it.

>>105626831
I wouldn't do this, are you 1440p gaming?

>>105626884
Yeah, i'd really like to snatch up a 9700 or the XT but im not paying their markups.

Will a Ryzen 5 5600x bottleneck a RX 9060 XT?

>>105626919
No, it won't. Even an RX 9070 will run fine with that CPU @ 1440p.

>>105626893
I'd continue to customize game settings until next year's refresh lineup, which games are causing you VRAM issues?

>>105624520 (OP)
Anons. I'm about to get a second hand PC that comes with an i7 10700k, 32gb ram and a 12gb 3060rtx.
The build comes with a generic 850w, and I've been advised to get the MSI MAG 550 bronze instead.
Will it be enough?

>>105624646
>>105626447

Is 9070xt good for ryujinx/yuzu/shadps4? CPU is 9800x3d.

Is 5000 fine wine?

>>105627023
550W should be enough (125W CPU, 170W video card, 100W for the rest).
It's very rare for the CPU & video card to be running at max power load simultaneously.

where to buy a beige case? aside that crap flp case from SS, are there any modern ones?

When installing a rear mounted fan for my PC case, is it suppose to damage the case when I screw it in?

>>105627101
>It's very rare for the CPU & video card to be running at max power load simultaneously.
That's a really good point.
I do plan on playing games at 1440p, some at 4k. and also plan on messing around with local AI gen.
Is why I was worried, but great point!

Can someone recommend a htpc/mini PC? I want something that has 4k output for vids and streaming

>>105626497
> the 3090 was a good 3300 euros
Holy crap! This is obscene. I got my 4090 for almost half of that.

>>105626447
700 is already 150 over reasonable and you say it can't be found for this?

Im poor as shit but my gaming tastes are equally poor. I usually play shit from 10 years ago and I've never played anything above 60FPS.
Hows the gaming market looking for me? Is the 1060 still good?

>>105626009
Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 420. My 9950X3D never gets over 78°C. And I haven't installed any pulling fans on it yet because I don't feel it necessary with this performance.

>>105627197
I'm still rocking the 960 and I play games newer than 10 years so I assume the 1060 would do even better.

>>105627132
Screws usually damaging the fans.
I advice you to not mount rear fan.

>>105625782
> i'm poor as fuck
You shouldn't waste time with gaming, you should earn money. Seriously.
Now you are only poor but you will become very miserable if try to escape reality in this situation.

>her gpu doesn't have an integrated morning star

>>105627177
Yeah, luckily I got one for 500 euros second hand that wasn't used for mining or heavily used, great card, only took liek 5 years of waiting, though. Craziest thing is that even buying a 4090 right now is more expensive than a 5090 lmao.

>>105627197
1060 is a really good card for its time but if you can get a 1070/ti for $15 more, it'd be worth getting that instead

>>105625467
>if amd good
No one ever said this.

>>105627247
Shut the fuck up dude lol
People should be able to enjoy their lives and not live solely to earn a dime to every dollar made. People are killing themselves with your mentality because they arent machines

>>105627197
Pick 6 gb version. You will able to play Stalker 2.

>>105625113
> isn't going to be practical
What a lame excuse! You don't deserve to be helped here.

>>105625782
If you can get a 12gb 3060 for around that price then that's a pretty solid card

>>105627248
Lmao that can't be real.

>>105627241
So it's not necessary? A rear exhaust fan. My PC case is the corsair 3500x ARGB Mid-Tower ATX.

Whatever the reason, most people have an entry level GPU and build in general. The top sellers in the store are always brand new and demanding games. Does this mean that the 1% makes up for all the revenue or am I missing something?

>>105627124
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#y=300000

>>105627309
yes and also new games don't need to sell as many units to top the charts as old games since their price is high

>>105627309
3060 can easily run everything at 1080p60, even 1440p if you drop a few settings on poorly optimized titles.

Does anyone own this PNY 5080? What kind of fan RPM does it hit under load? Can't find any reviews with this info, I'm quite noise sensitive and anything beyond 1300 RPM is usually annoyingly loud for me.

>>105627366
Have you tried not being a faggot pussy? People who need dead silence are creepy. Ever heard of headphones? Listening to music? Playing video games? Watching shows? How does a fan even bother someone? It's white noise, people buy things specifically to make that noise it's a positive if anything. You noisecucks give me the ick.

>>105627366
I don't think there's a single gpu that goes under 1300rpm under full power, usually they're quieter if you're not maxing out, though

Torrent, North XL, or Meshify 3 XL?

>>105627374
I have open back headphones you brown favela monkey.

>>105627366
I didn't know we had women in this thread

>>105627306
It helps not a lot, you can gain much more by removing side panel.
The less fans the better.

Completed it on Intel Arc.

>>105627433
>>105627402
Looks like tasteless something.

>>105627404
Me too, but you don't see me crying about it. Again normal people aren't bothered by white noise, sorry about your condition.

Nvidia cant give you that.

>>105627433
Wood is too dark you couldn't even tell it was there if you didn't know to look for it it just blends in with the metal.

>>105627445
Well, it can be a bit annoying when the fans hit 2000rpm, but thankfully there are many ways to mitigate that.

>>105627443
Not as tasteless as fish tanks and RGB.

>>105627461
I just use wireless kb+m and put the case outside the room. Also cuts down on heat killing two birds with one stone.

>>105627471
>put the case outside the room
How long is your monitor cable kek

Is this the game's fault? driver issue? dx12 perhaps?

>>105627487
Desk sits right next to the door so it's not that long. Obviously this isn't ideal for most people.

What kind of build do I need for 1080p@360Hz (obviously native rendering only)?

>>105627496
Well, I just took the simpler route and turned down the fans. Alternatively if you want better cooling and far less noise you can just remove the stock fans and slap some 120s on there, of course that will probably void your warranty so you'd have to wait a little unless you don't care.

>>105627366
No idea but I like it because it says Stealth Mode on the packaging, means it's for secret agents

>>105627374
>people buy things specifically to make that noise it's a positive if anything
White pow... noise is actually harmful.
Brain can do:
1 anti-noise
2 anti-reverb
3 anti-echo (rare)
Example, if you move to other flat/room/house you will notice reverb of your voice, but after a week or two your brain will compensate reverb and you will not hear it anymore.

>>105627459
Yes, it's rather dark but I can see the wood structure when looking at it from my chair, the surfaces are not perfectly smooth, not just boring. If I wanted I could brighten up the wood with sandpaper and bleach but I didn't buy this case primarily for looks so I don't care enough to bother. I compared all cases that can house an ALF3 420 AIO and this one provides the best functionality. It's got supreme airflow AND complete dust filtering, it is easily movable thanks to two wheels in the rear and the very sturdy wood bars in top that allow to lift the whole case even when fully equipped. It's even possible to install 4 standard office chair castors in place of the rubber feet to maximize maneuverability.

>>105627645
Yeah but I remember you listing a bunch of downsides before and even saying it wasn't worth it.

>>105627263
>escapism and poverty good

>>105627655
It has some deficits (every other case has them) but of the kind I can tolerate or easily fix myself like putting some neoprene on the naked metal side panels or cutting some plastic studs so the top mesh cover fits perfectly on the fat ALF radiator. And I never said it wasn't worth it, rather the contrary. I'm very happy and would buy it again.

Bros what do you think of 4060? I just need it for clip studio paint, After effects and other creative softwares. Maybe some games before 2020 or indie games if I play games at all.

>>105628322
its alright for a budget card. really efficient too

It's pretty garbage, so you'd certainly need to negotiate. And the monitor is fucking TN lmao.
Since it's used, I'd be concerned about the R5 3600 if it's an early batch - those like to kill themselves over time. Mine only died this year.

Probably not worth it.

Got it ill just order pc parts and build one myself

I upgraded to a 9900x and I'm getting 58ºC at idle, which seems way too high. I was getting 40-45ºC with a 5950x. Anybody here with Ryzen 9000 that can confirm?

>>105628507
That shit is gonna be doubled the price of normal 5080 if 24gb vram rumor was true.

>>105628557
That's how my 9800x3d behaves on a 360mm aio too
Even load temps were pretty toasty until I installed thermal grizzly's am5 offset mounting bracket to position the cold plate over the ccd which dropped temps from a throttling 95C to 88C in cinebench r23

>>105628601
vram costs like 3€ per gb

>>105628602
What AIO are you using? Supposedly the Arctic Freezer III is offset by default for this very purpose, but I was not expecting things to be this toasty. I suspect bad contact or perhaps I applied the thermal paste wrong (that Duronaut shit is hard to spread) but the funny thing is that I don't even hit 80ºC running Prime95

>>105625362
this

>>105628972
>Then why does no one do that?
The bandwidth of the RTX 5060 8GB's memory is 448GB/s. The bandwidth of a PCIe Gen 5x8 interface is 31.5GB/s. You might be able to see why this isn't really possible.

I don't have, I fiddled with all the available settings and its present all the time.
Guess I'll have to bite the OLED bullet...

Feeling the urge to buy a 5090 like a retard.

>>105629524
nope no dual bios
not even a flashback
which is why i had to flash it with an USB programmer
it did have an unpopulated SPI right next to the chip but the programmer i ordered (cheapest one from aliexpress) came with a clip so i didn't be arse myself to solder the wires

>>105629564
no but it did feel like that and it impressed a bunch of tech nerd friends so at least it's something

>>105629612
Just do it. Next gen pricing will getting worse and worse as long as AI bubble exist, that is if Nvidia isn't outright quit gaming market altogether.

>>105628343
Bump. I just found out I have a third M.2 slot as well where I could put on my current SSD. I'm wondering if it will affect performance since they are pretty old and full already.

so uh... what if you soldered 3gb ram chips onto a 5060?

>>105629612
as long as you have a 4k qd oled monitor and local LLM's installed ready to go its fine

is the speed difference between Gen 3 NVME and gen 4 actually big?

i bought my current mobo before i was working and it only has a 3.0 slot, i'm currently on a crucial mx500 which works at the rated speeds for a little bit then massively drops off under load so i'm guessing the jump from that to a m.2 will feel big enough that i won't care about it being old gen, but not too sure.

>>105629676
i worded this wrongly, what i meant is, is the speed difference NOTICEABLE? if you were downloading 100GB, will the 4.0 download twice as fast?

>>105629770
700 gigs in 50 seconds. not bad.
i never follow storage news because i don't work with video files or any large files for that matter but interesting stuff when you do the math once a blue moon

Are rear-connect MOBOs just a meme or will they become the norm?

>>105629825
should i go for this? will only work at gen 3 speeds ofc, but whenever I upgrade my mobo it'll become more useful then. seems like a decent drive, TLC but no DRAM.

price isn't a factor here as it's on sale and is around the same price of other m.2s.

1khz monitors fucking when?

>>105629990
>>105630005
Yeah, full system crash, and the bluescreen message is completely different every time, so those are even less help than usual. The recent games I've played that consistently crash it that come to mind are Deltarune (but not the demo version for some reason), Shadowman Remastered, Warcraft 3 (pre-Reforged version), Minecraft, and Cobalt Core, they all consistently crash AT SOME POINT, but the point they do is random each time, not when any one specific thing is happening so I dunno.
>>105630030
The 32GB ram set is new, cause I thought it might have theoretically been the issue, it's not the problem.
I've updated the drivers like 500 times, uninstalled, reinstalled, everything's up to date, and it was a problem when I first built it and first installed the drivers for the very first time.
I already tried repasting the CPU, that didn't help either.
Also there's no fucking way I'm downgrading to Win11 until I'm forced to, that's why I got LTSC in the first place.
I'll give the other suggestions a try though.

>>105630058
samsung releases incrementally better monitors each year and you have to wait a while. Obviously oled pixels can change in 0.1 ms but they have some economies of scale to consider for the parts that push the signals.

>>105630065
>Yeah, full system crash, and the bluescreen message is completely different every time
On second second thought, that does sound familiar. It's just that I was getting more crashes than BSODs at first, but by the end it did bluescreen a lot. Might be the CPU after all, try Prime95 torture.

>>105628424
>Buying my first pc
don't
you need to crunch a lot of numbers for used parts.
first you need to establish a base line with current hardware and their prices, then look for benchmarks from the old hardware, cross-reference all the shit, do price/performance. all this for hardware you no longer have any warranty on
in other words, might as well buy new low-end. unless you only buy a GPU one gen old and the price is indeed worth it and even then it's a risk, dealing with used parts is only worth it if you're reselling parts or selling used pre-builts
