5080.

Thanks bros. I'm going to drop by microcenter tomorrow and see what they say. Maybe they have a machine they can test it with. Hopefully it works there.

The PCIe slot on my MB was scuffed. Bad enough to where I think it's what caused this damage, but not bad enough that I thought something was wrong when I was putting in the GPU. Skill issue I guess. Sad.

>>105657987

>>105657987
Be mindful of what you say to the Microcenter employees or the card’s customer service agent.
They will try to blame you to deny RMA/return.

The 13600kf I boughted nearly 2 weeks was a very good buy. Cinnebench r23 score of 27000, was even able to get the vcore to under 1.3v going full throttle
Will this processor make it for more than a decade like my 4770?

'd have liked to have seen you get 8 P-Cores, but in honesty it should be fine. Are you in the US and if so how much did you pay for it? The 14600K is $164 right now so if the price is better and you're still inside the return window might be worth the swap if you can save some money for slightly better perf as a drop-in replacement in your system:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jXFmP6/intel-core-i5-14600k-35-ghz-14-core-processor-bx8071514600k

>>105658095
13/14600kf have the same number of cores and are basically the same once you start overclocking aren't they? Looking at the scores on different benchmarks it looks like the average is like 2-4% for the 14th gen but the both top out at basically the same scores. Looking at passmark looks like the 99% is actually 1000 points lower than the 13th gen
I got it for $165, I spent like 4 hours total dialing in the oc, not going to bother swapping it out until the i9s are going for 3rd world prices used, hopefully the degradation thing is sorted out by then.

I bought a 5090.

Yeah they are basically the same +/- 2-3%, I was mostly concerned you overpaid for the i5, but sounds like you got a good deal so enjoy. As long you updated to the latest bios that has the latest microcode updates included you should be fine degradation-wise.

>>105658423
I know it's difficult for the shallow of soul to consider things outside of their narrow box but some of us look towards the bigger picture. Rewarding these companies for making terrible products does no one any good in the long run. We have only ourselves to blame, if we had been willing to put off short term pleasure we could have forced these companies to do the right thing instead of telling them they can get away with murder. But you being nothing but an internet troll don't care about that, because why should you? You've already accepted the mediocre path in life and are happy to let corporations walk all over you.
You'll reply with some snide quip to this post, but deep down we both know which one of us is right.

Did they rebrand these all as a different card? getting basically a pascal full height single slot version of what is the modern a4000 is highly desirable to me especially since no one wants to sell the p4 for less than 130 state side.

If you want to do AI related stuff, yeah you need NVIDIA. For local text gen ask around in /lmg/

FSR 4 via optiscaler works in most games even nvidia tech demos like alan wake 2, cyberpunk, black myth wukong etc.
Daniel Owen even made a video about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEcESQhJVfE

The common man doesn't have to pay the ngreedia tax anymore to get an upscaler with good image quality. RDNA 4 chads will be modding FSR 4 into all your sponsored nvidia exclusive games and there is nothing you can do about it nvidiot.

Open source modding won. RDNA 4 won. Radeon won. AMD won. Jack Huynh
won. Lisa Su won. And most importantly gamers won.

why would I buy AMSAAR subhuman gimped gaming only nigger feces disguised as a graphics card that is so dogshit putrid garbage it makes your entire house stink like cow shit (because it’s Indian) instead of the based and INCREDIBLY POWERFUL RTX 5090 that has EXTREME PERFORMANCE that AMD can NEVER touch because they make INDIAN GARBAGE FOR SUBHUMAN NIGGER ANIMALS

The average differences between b650 and b850 boards are pcie 4 x16/pcie 5 x16 and Wifi 6//6e/7. If you're going to be a Win 10 chad and want to use wifi and bluetooth theres only a few b650 boards that will work. If you're going for Win 11 or don't care about that you can choose b850 boards.

I have an issue with my newly built pc on windows 11, where things like videos (regardless of which video player is used) and programs played from a newly purchased internal HDD (not the C: drive containing my operating system which is an SSD) will sometimes keep hanging for a short while (5 to 15 seconds). It happens at irregular intervals. I have 2 HDDs and they both seem to have the exact same issue, so I doubt it's a hardware issue. I changed the power settings to never turn off the hard disk, but this didn't help. I also changed the SATA cables, but this also didn't help. If anyone has any idea what the issue could be or what I should test for to find the exact issue or cause, input would be greatly appreciated.

>>105659960

>>105660230
>ty, although i saw some very old forum threads where people said refreshing too often is bad
That is mostly in the early days of oled and the crux of it is true - you shouldn't run a refresh more often than the manufacturer says (which these days is often 4 hours) but there is also the nuance of pixel refresh - which is the every 4 hours - and the panel refresh which is a much more extreme "cleaning" (for want of a better term) that is primarily used to tackle actual burn in.

>NVIDIA drivers turn off Rebar even when it says its on and you have to manually enable it in profile inspector
NVIDIA you stupid retarded redhead stepchild.

I got myself an older HP tower, but the fan headers aren't being detected in linux, I doubt they'd be exposed in windows either but I figure to silence the machine I'll probably have to go through the process of either using a fan controller and probably replacing the case fan and cpu cooler.
For CPU cooler it'll end up being one of the noctua or thermaltake low profile style fans either 90/120mm, that can come later but before that, the fans need to be dealth with. the rear fan I can replace with a noctua, but that doesn't stop the fan headers sending an overkill amount of current/voltage.

What are the options like for cheap fan controllers in 2025?
It's been 20 years since I had to use one that went in my drive bay, any powered off of pcie1 or that use internal usb headers for control? I'm even fine with knobs I can turn manually from the rear of the desktop as the machine isn't going to be going through heavy processing loads.
I don't mind aliexpress, ebay, would rather avoid amazon.
The first thing I found was an older corsair product, the icue commander, that allows for software adjustment with a kernel module, but even just either a controller that can be detected by linux or knobs is fine.
I'd rather not spend tonnes on this.

My alternative is putting it in a cupboard or hallway and using long USB cables and displayport cables, that solution sucks!

No, it didn't for 20 years and still doesn't. AMD making some marketing slides and getting their monkey-brain fanboys to scream it is amazing is just FUD to obscure than the radeon team can't fucking sort out their memory management even on a silicon level and are just abusing the shit out of a feature that isn't needed in 99.9% of cases anywhere else in the world to attempt to reach parity.

>CS2 |1080p Low Settings
you niggas pay $1000+ for this?

>>105660468
Jay gained 4000 points in port royal just by turning it on so it obviously does matter on NVIDIA. I toggled mine on and now my frametimes are a lot less stuttery. I imagine this is a widespread problem with everyone using a green GPU

How good are those chibi 60mm noctua fans really? Obviously the size means they aren't going to move shitloads of air but for that sort of size are they better than most?

>>105660398
Rebar on novideo is dogshit. This is known. AMD CPU + GPU you get smart access memory with driver level optimizations giving the smoothest frame times possible and free performance.

>>105660522
This reminds me. One time I was playing wreckfest on my 7900xtx and performance was horrific - tunning at maybe 30fps and incredible stutters. After scratching my head a bit I realised I had reset my bios earlier in the day (ram overclocking that went sideways) and be default my mobo turns rebar off. Turn it back on and boom, suddenly back to 180fps smooth frames.

>>105660440
Yeah, I saw that.
It appears to use the motherboards own fan headers for control. That's the kind of hub or controller I'd be trying to avoid, since the motherboards fan headers aren't exposed for control outside of the bios (and they seem to be pretty cranked up).
I don't yet know how hard other fans will be driven when they're replaced down the line.

It would need to be something that either the controller can be exposed to the system itself through USB, PCI etc or have physical knobs or controls that can be adjusted manually.

>>105660583
oh, even the fan header for cpu is not being detected? that's a pain

What is your opinion about SATA power switch? It seems impossible to stop w10 from spinning up my idle drivers so I was wondering if I could just turn them off when not needed.

>>105660398
AMD's2cents is doing to deliberately temp-brick people's Nvidia cards and get them to blame the crashing on that rather than realizing the ReBAR is turned off by default for a reason. Advanced Marketing Department resorting to this level of dirty tricks now?

>>105660616
Yeah, unfortunately none of them are exposed for control.
'swhy I'd need to look at older style controllers like the bay fan controllers of old. I know that over the last decade more and more fan controllers for internal use have come around, so trying to find a solution like that if someone knows of one.

That arctic controller would be perfect if it had a little knob on it so you could turn down the outputting, rather than replicating it.

>>105660653
You could go turbo bodge and get a molex 3 pin fan adaptor, a low noise adaptor (5v or 7v) and plug that into the hub as your fan speed signal. At least in theory that should work.

>>105660709
I'd completely forgotten that there were low noise adapters too, while I can't find the sole one I own, I'll give that a try and see if it works.
I seem to have found at least one controller that has a potentiometer so hopefully that'll do it for now until I can replace the fans later down the line.

>>105660903
Who knew that large datasets being shunted around like to do so in more than 256mb chunks which I would image gets more and more relevant the larger the framebuffer exists to be filled.

>>105660890
i would chose drive+enclosure any time. simply because if you mess-up the enclosure somehow (i.e. port damage or whatever) - you just take you're drive out and drop into new enclosure. also, if you even decide to use that m2 internally - again, you just take it out of enclosure and put on you're mobo. with those custom proprietary enclosures it is either gonna be a pain in the ass or impossible because of bullshit soldering of custom connectors.

Why does Nvidia need all this third party software to do what AMD does out of the fucking box?

Could someone explain how changing the DLSS dlls work? If the game is using DLSS 3 (profile J), even if I swap to the newest 310.3 dll version it will still be profile J and I have to force profile K from the nvidia settings, or 310.3 is just profile K?

>>105661638
If you're swapping dlls it's best if you use Optiscaler. It tells you everything you need to know in real time. Nvidias app is pure garbage and swapping dlls manually is even worse.

Anyone got any experience with hosting a modded minecraft server? I plan on surprising my niece and nephew by opening a server for them as a birthday present. Like 3-4 players may be 5 max. Thinking of just getting an old optiplex or mini pc off amazon/facebook. Suggestions?

>>105662456
anything with 32gb of ram and 6-8 cores would be fine especially for a small server like that. you'll just want it to use as little power as possible since it can rack up a power bill being on all the time.

Look for better texture mods before you buy new components.

promised my younger brother i'd give him my 4070(for a small price) when the 50 series came out but then the 50 series turned out to be complete ass.
still, i want to get him a card as he's just using my old 2060 which isn't that good for a lot of modern games.
i find myself stuck between a 9060xt and a 5060ti.
i've stuck with nvidia for years after a bad experience with an AMD card but now that the shoe is on the other foot i don't want to get him a card that will fail him.
i've seen a few benchmarks and they seem to be within range of each-other but i'm having doubts.

>>105662582
Choose one and test it throughout the return period,

>>105662582
That price isn't worth it. See if your local Microcenter has a 9060 for $350, maximum, if you really want that card.
The 9060's performance is basically close to the late Radeon 6000 cards, which was like 2 AMD generations ago and who knows how many Nvidia generations ago.

>>105662663
Both 5060Ti and 9060XT, including the 16GB configs, are underwhelming in that context.
They offer around 3070Ti (with more VRAM) or 6800 non-XT levels of raster performance.

>>105663900
AMD and NVIDIA GPUs have very different chip architectures, that's why their compute core counts are drastically different.
AMD GPUs are more reliant on REBAR for performance, whereas NVIDIA GPUs aren't.
Some games run worse with REBAR enabled on GeForce cards.
That's why REBAR is an opt-in selection for GeForce cards.

Why ram kits are reccomended in pairs but not in 4s?

>If I have enough redundant parts around to build a ship of theseus second rig
Problem with that is you'd have a complete system which includes the case, thus it is going to be kinda big and shipping pc cases is bullshit expensive more often than not. You'd have to run the numbers yourself but parting it out is often more economical and just having the case effectively free to a good home as long as it is collected is the lesser of the two evils.

>>105663895

How is this news? Same story just like Starfield developed with Radeon partnership.
Bethesda had to prioritize pushing a DLSS3 (+FG) support patch for Starfield because the outcry from NVIDIA owners was too much to delay.

>>105664057
I'd recommend to check every profile of every game you're having performance issues and see if they're enabled. I've read that some games and games engines have problems with it so Nvidia set it to disabled but if the game needs it it'll be enabled.

>>105664057

Yeah this isn't a good look like you think it is njudea shill. GeForce software team has been undergoing pajeetification more and more as nvidia moves more and more focus to AI and their data center products. We are just finally seeing it worse than ever before with 50 series disaster drivers.

>>105664346
Just get 9070XT or 5070 Ti.

>>105664375
lol those 2 cards are exactly what i was debating to get, but do i need a X3D cpu to utilize them 100%?

i didnt build a PC in the last 10 years so i have no idea how new tech works..

anything very cheap this summer?

>>105664358
All that chart shows Radeon GPU performance is more dependent on REBAR compared to NVIDIA.
What matters to end-users is the real-time FPS for the games they play.
A larger portion of a GeForce GPU's die area is taken up by RT & Tensor cores compared to the AI & RT cores in any modern Radeon GPU.

Yet Radeon GPUs can't convincingly beat their RTX equivalents in raw raster performance in every title.
Not to mention the AMD optimization priority is given because the consoles use these chips.

>>105664392
x3d cpu will make difference depending on game. single core (something old) / poorly optimized. in some cases even x3d will not help. see world of warcraft as example - engine is so bad that no matter what you throw at it - it will never run good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag_wmvY21EA

>>105664392
>but do i need a X3D cpu to utilize them 100%?
90% of games no. Maybe you'd get a bottleneck on some esports shit or something at all low settings. I have zen 3 5900x and 9070 xt and in single player UE5 games with all the eye candy graphics maxed out I dont have a bottleneck. It depends entirely on the game.

9600x3d better not be Microcenter exclusive

>>105664434
ok i see

>>105664454
is your 9070xt always at 100% usage in games?

>>105664392
>do i need a X3D cpu to utilize them 100%?
nope
>>105664460
it won't be nobody seems to remember 7600X3D came out too

>>105664466
>is your 9070xt always at 100% usage in games?
You don't want your video card to be at 100% utilization, that will increase system latency because the latest frame data sent by the CPU is stuck in a render queue.
GeForce's Reflex and Radeon's Anti-Lag 2 are set up to run the video card as hard as possible (~97%) without a system latency penalty.

This isn't just beneficial for competitive shooters, single-player games will also run more responsively to your control inputs.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/reflex-low-latency-platform/
https://www.amd.com/en/products/software/adrenalin/radeon-software-anti-lag.html

>>105664516
ah cool
one last question, why did you go for the 9070xt and not the 5070ti? is it just because of the price?
$80 more for the 5070ti is not a big deal for me

>>105664535
Because I hate nvidia

>>105664542
meh, i dont really care for brand loyalty i just care for the best performance
i think im gonna get the 5070ti because i feel like DLSS is gonna future proof the card at least +2 years

>>105664535
I'm not that guy.
$80 price difference between the two cards isn't big enough to justify the 9070XT.
This isn't my opinion, AMD executives felt they needed to set a $150 price gap between the two cards.

>>105664558
if you care about best performance then 9070xt is the better gpu on a hardware level + software level. more transistors = better. also radv is 50% faster than nvidia as of todays date.

>>105664573
i dont even know what radv is.. does it benefit gaming?

>>105664573
>more transistors = better
Inefficient use of said transistors.

>>105664586
It's just an open-source Linux driver, irrelevant if you're Windows gaming.

>>105664586
You know what DirectX is right? DirectX is bottlenecking your GPU. RADV unlocks the power by 30-50% more fps. But its exclusive to AMD. Also ignore the other retard posting fake shit.

>>105658008
It should be denied

>>105664466
>your 9070xt always at 100% usage in games?
Utilization doesn't tell the full story and just because you aren't at 100% doesn't mean you are bottlenecked or at least not heavily so. As you can see in pic related it says 97% in both but going to 1080p the fps increased a lot so clearly this game like most UE5 slop is mostly GPU bound. You have 7700x which is a decent bit faster than my 5900x in gaming so I wouldn't worry about it but like I said it depends entirely on the games you play. Some games like space marine 2 are heavier on the cpu and I am a bit bottlenecked in that one but the fps is still acceptable so I don't really care. As long as you are getting performance you are happy with that's what really matters.

>>105664558
>DLSS is gonna future proof the card at least +2 years
consoles are running amd. so following that logic, since PS already added FSR4 (rebranded) - you are also future-proofed with amd card.
this is literally choosing between apples and oranges for anything below 5080 because amd does not have an equivalent for that yet.
both brands are very similar for gayming and only intel is sucking hard right now with their gpus.
nvidia is doing better with ai-workloads (again, just for now - amd is trying to catch-up), so if you don't care about anything than gayming - just buy whatever.
keep only one rule in mind - dont go for 8 gig gpus and stick to 16+ gigs ones.

>>105664876
All the Poorfags ITT will hate but this is a good setup. More fans is better, means they ramp up less = quieter PC and better cooling. 3 bottom intakes are essential to keeping the GPU cool. Anybody hating your build is a faggot

That's a workstation, not a gaming PC. Gaming PCs need as much cooling and airflow as humanly possible to maintain high clock speeds. Anon's PC is going to live longer solely just because it has better cooling and is at a lower temperature and wears down less.

>>105664876
the pcie slot fans are placebo. you get the same temp drop from the bottom case fans.

I'm a man with an DDR4 motherboard with two sticks of Crucial Basilisk 32gb, 3600mhz, cl16, 16-18-18-38 timed ram.

One of the sticks died, and they no longer make that memory anymore. If I replaced them with 3600mhz cl18 ram with 18-22-22-42 ram timings, would the performance drop be noticeable?

>>105665117
they are all the same thing coming from the same chinese factory, but i got the 5 dollar one from "ThtRht"

9cm = 92mm fans
12cm = 120mm fans
14cm = 140mm fans

14cm mounts are rare, and as you noticed, you will need some sort of anti sag device to keep the fans from drooping if you use 2 or more fans.

I'm used to having these issues when I update graphics drivers but not from my motherboard's software / drivers. But I also kinda forgot that I was doing that anyway. It was this Armoury Crate thing

Image quality is also better with DLSS. Usability is better with CUDA cores. The only thing better with the 9070XT is the price but not by enough to justify the poor value.

>>105665219
Oh cool, I looked for the chipset drivers as standalone earlier but couldn't find it. Thanks anon

>>105665187
oh hell yeah, about time someone made a case like the Stacker 810 and 830 again

Anyone still got the original G502? Mine has looked like

https://www.reddit.com/r/G502MasterRace/comments/irdc2x/ive_had_my_g502_for_so_long_the_g_led_has_turned/
this for as long as I can remember (so maybe not at the very start, but I don't remember), and I never figured out why.
Thing is, it's not actually pure green. Every single LED in the 4 blue+green pairs still works, it just feels as if the green overpowers the blue when it's probably supposed to be the opposite. Better yet, unlike in the leddit screenshots, the DPI lights (if always-on) have the same issue and all share the same too-green hue, so it doesn't just look like failing leds.

So what the fuck? Should I assume it's a firmware bug or something?

NVIDIA WON

wrong & you're a stupid fuck.

any recommendations for exhaust fans with the meshify 3 xl, i'm running an air cooler on the cpu so probably 140mm, right? which brand?

>>105665322
I personally really like the Arctic P14 max for 140mm. They can be a little loud though.

>Comparing stock 5080 to OC'd 9070XT.
5080 is 20fps faster (+22%) on average compared to 9070XT's average score in the more stressful Steel Nomad Vulkan test.
The highest scoring (XOC'd) 9070XT can't even match the average score of a 5080 in Steel Nomad Vulkan.

AMD loses in Vulkan Geekbench to the 5070ti kek and also beats the 9070xt while using 25% less power.

>>105665335
9070xt right now is $650 on newegg

the cheapest 5080 on newegg is $1429

9070xt is on par if not better

And here's the Speed Way (RT) benchmarks.
Nice RT transistors bro.
The average run score of a 5070Ti is less than 2 FPS lower than the 9070XT world record.

>>105665367
stop, he's already dead

You can mount a fan on the PSU shroud. Should it be exhaust (blowing onto PSU) or intake (blowing onto GPU)? The PSU itself gets air from the bottom.

>>105665361
You don't need to look at charts to know Nvidia is better than AMD. It's just that AMD GPUs are a much better value for pure rasterization performance at the cost of features. This isn't even a complicated issue. Why do people argue over this shit?

>>105665361
>9070xt right now is $650 on newegg
$699 actually, because it's worse than NVIDIA's cards.

The 5080 22% faster than the 5070Ti in a VULKAN raster bench, and over 45% faster in RT.

>>105665272
you joke, but i was legitimately looking for a third party mesh side panel that would let me get more fans in there. unfortunately, nobody makes one for the evo xl (yet)

For me, it's Fujitsu.

>>105665361
So, 9070xt prices are dropping, still not MSRP, but 5070 ti prices can maintain $800-900 for months...anon, what does that say about the demand for the cards?

>>105665408
Nobody wants AMD, demand keeps 5070ti above MSRP.

>>105665408
Yeah, right now I'm seeing them "on sale", as in what they should cost, for around $750. 9070 XT 16GB seems fair at that price. Unfortunately, the idiots who buy these GPUs don't understand that most of their value comes from the price. Can't believe I'm seeing some listed for $889.

>>105663549
Because I was already using a 12100 on a z690 ddr5 board (and a basically ancient aio) and after 20 minutes of googling and a pcbg post it looked to me like unless I care only about games it's cheaper to just buy and tweak intel.

>>105665377
you don't want to exhaust anything on the bottom/mid area of the case ever. hot air is at the top, cold aid is at the bottom. mounting an intake right above psu will not do anything at all - just a pure waste of money.

This is the most comprehensive review from daniel owen with over 100 benchmarks and it's a less than 5% performance difference. Which card wins go back and forth a lot depending on the game.
https://youtu.be/UoZnL4gbc9Y?feature=shared&t=1796
>21% faster in RT
Those reviews included few games and they were mainly done on nvidia sponsored path tracing titles like black myth wukong and alan wake 2. Daniel Owen found that in non path tracing RT which is most RT games Nvidia doesn't really have an advantage. FSR 4 Redstone is also coming later this year which will improve pathtracing performance and erase or greatly reduce this one advantage that the 5070 ti has.
>Image quality is also better with DLSS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU8QI3wILho
25 minute long video of actual gameplay in motion not zoomed in 500 percent still images anyone can judge for themselves. FSR 4 is better than DLSS 3 and very close to DLSS 4. Practically the same image quality. There are some things FSR 4 does better and will keep more stable then DLSS 4 even with it's hybrid model and there are things DLSS 4 is better at. Both very good and usable.

Doesn't take a genius to understand the games favoring the 9070XT in Owen's chart are disproportionately optimized for AMD's console APUs.

>Doom: Dark Ages
Built from the ground up to ensure Series S owners can play the game @ 60FPS.

>Monster Hunter Wilds & Oblivion Remastered
Everyone knows these are unoptimized trash heaps, this isn't an opinion.

>AC: Shadows
Ubisoft couldn't afford this game to have bugs or crashes for consoles. Priority was clearly on console performance.

Spiderman 2 favors NVIDIA because Sony spends tens of millions of dollars porting these titles to the PC, and the engineers at Insomniac has gotten better at these console ports since Rift Apart.

No one in this thread plays that game.

Friend bought a pre-built with a 5070 and wants to know what's a good monitor for it.
Is there any monitors that handle 4k well in the 300-400 dollar range, or should he settle for something 2k instead?
He linked me a Dell s2725qc for 300, it says its 4k but it doesn't seem great for gaming.

>bought and assembled my new PC just before WW3 and nobody will be around to play with in modern games anymore

Man, the Terra is so easy to build in. I expected a mini PC build would be pretty hard, but it was remarkably easy. Easier than building a regular PC honestly (though I was way stupider and younger when I last built a PC and didn't just occasionally upgrade).
