As mentioned in the previous thread, the Acer Nitro XV270 (M3BMIIPRX, 27" 1440p 180Hz) is currently discounted to $130 in their official US store.
Highly rated by techless. Worth picking one up if you need a budget monitor.

The prices of decent 1440p/4k panels have collapsed in the last year, but are there any which support usb-c / thunderbolt whatever or is this still a "premium" feature? I'm getting sick of having a billion cables, especially when you can finally buy all-in-one usb4 cables for like $20 (yea they're thick and stiff but who cares when it replaces 4 cables at once)

>>105796125
I've only seen those ports on 60hz office monitors. And no current dgpu has that port since rtx2000

If I want to try VR and I my limit is the 9070XT or the 5070TI, is NVIDIA that much better for it?

updated my nvidia drivers and got a black screen, restarted pc and all is fine, driver installed correctly, should i roll back?

My mom is retiring and going to need a PC (we live in the same house - OH CANADA). I'm leaning towards a HTPC so she can DNLA to her TV and maybe some light gaming like Subnautica and all the classics up till now. If she gets sick of it I want to convert it to a NAS for my old 3.5" drives that don't fit in my North XL, so I want power efficiency at idle and ideally not too big. Here are the options I'm thinking of:

1) just give her my old 6700K + 16GB ram + 1060 6GB in a Fractal Define R4 full of NF-A14's. I don't want her to be vulnerable banking without a TPM 2.0 CPU/IME backdoored legacy shit though. How is PC gaming on older hardware via Linux and is the hardware malware surface area still too big to risk ?

2) cannibalize the 1060 and Define R4, put in a ~$200 mobo, Ryzen 5 5600G + 32GB ram + Corsair RMX psu + cheap air cooler which would get her on windows 11 (though the 1060 won't be getting driver updates)

3) buy her a Pi for banking/browsing/Youtube, and install linux on the old 6700k PC for myself to use as a NAS (idle power efficiency probably sucks haven't checked yet)

>>105796259

>>105796274
>pc for old people who are fairly clueless at technology
a mac mini m4 costs ~$500 and will last her a decade. it's an unbeatable facebook / movies machine
the only reason to go with anything else is if she will actually play video games, which you'd know best - but most old people don't for whatever reason

Am I a loser for being excited about having 2 140mm fans coming in Saturday?

I'm looking for and ultrawide 1440p oled screen
The 2 cheapest ones I've found are Dell AW3423DWF and MSI MAG 341CQP QA-OLED
MSI has higher refresh rate, supposedly better text clarity and better oled care features but saw some posts about flickering issues, while Dell has a lot of great reviews and comes with zero bad pixel and burn in warranty for 3 years
What do you guys think?

Does it matter what SATA SSD I'm going to get if I will just use it to dual boot Windows and play video games on it? Should I get a Western Digital one since that brand is recommended in the first post but a SATA version?

>What do you guys think?
1. You don't want a 1440p ultrawide, the pixel density is too low for OLEDs (being non-RGB) that makes the color fringing awful. You'll be happier saving up for a 27" or 32" 4K model instead (109 vs 163/137 PPI respectively).
2. I really don't recommend either one because unless you are getting a REALLY good deal on one, those are both years old models and the cheapest UW OLEDs are now 240Hz like this GB model:
https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-mo34wqc2-34-wqhd-240-hz-oled-black/p/N82E16824012085

If you must choose between the Dell & MSI, then know those are really the same panel and both come with 3-year burn-in warranties so pick whichever is cheaper.

>Does it matter what SATA SSD I'm going to get if I will just use it to dual boot Windows and play video games on it? Should I get a Western Digital one since that brand is recommended in the first post but a SATA version?
Not really, just get one with the best $/GB value. PCPP this 2TB model for $87 is probably your best bet:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yF4Zxr/teamgroup-t-force-vulcan-z-2-tb-25-solid-state-drive-t253ty002t0c101
TPU lists it as using TLC NAND which has longer endurance than budget SSDs using QLC flash memory.

Should I get another 16gb of RAM? Microshit takes up too much space

Should I go for 4x8 or add another 2x8 of the same brand hz etc?

>>105797092
I'm really sorry but forgot to mention that I need around five hundred gigabytes, anything else would be excessive for my needs. I

buy the same mhz and cl rating for lower chance of stability problems

How the fuck do I make HDR not look like shit? I have a ASUS OLED monitor, XG27AQDMG.

Whenever I turn on HDR, it makes all SDR content look way worse and half of the games that say they support HDR by default(Despite not having a setting), just have the same washed out SDR setting look. Regardless if auto-HDR is enabled or not.

>>105797268
why, yes, for me it is simple - i adjust HDR by turning it off

Keyboard experiences and recommendations? Brands and their current brand of shenanigans, if any? Of course whether a suggestion is even available to me locally is a big question, very easy for it to be not. I'm currently looking at some Akko TKLs and they seem to fit my use case well enough (want print screen and all 6 ins/del/navigation buttons).

>>105797268
>SDR content look way worse
that's hdr working as intended. srgb applications are confined to srgb colors
>games that say they support HDR by default(Despite not having a setting
no idea. I haven't run into this myself. in fact, all hdr supported games I've played have had a HDR toggle in their setting for good reason (fake hdr monitors, hdr too bright etc.)

>>105797277
>>105797280
So is it best to always have it disabled unless i'm specifically playing a game with HDR?

>>105797268
Try the windows auto HDR setting if you want saturated colors across all applications

>>105797292
yes, you only enable it specifically for HDR content if you really want to use it

>>105797292
Yes, or maybe >>105797295 if you don't want to have to always toggle HDR manually per app

>>105797229
For 512GB the JS600 is good for $27 (still TLC-based):

>>105797340
Thank you a lot for your recommendation!

It's been 2 years since I've build my current rig.
I went with a M28U as my sole display as oled monitors were still rather mediocre back then. What's the state of oled right now? I am still reasonably happy with my current monitor, but I wouldn't mind a larger upgrade assuming it doesn't fucking kill itself in just a few years.

4K 27" and 32" models are now out which either mostly (32") or completely (27") resolve the color fringing/text clarity issues that plagued the 1440p models and refresh rates have gone up.
The cheapest options in each category are:
27" 4K ($800): https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/alienware-27-4k-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw2725q/apd/210-brfr/monitors-monitor-accessories?tfcid=33163968

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKL5q2Wf354

27" 1440p options have settled around $550:

But I've seen them go as low as $400 during Black Friday last year

If I'm playing a game and watching several live streams does the live streams add to the vram?

>>105797561
Just decoding and watch video streams adds negligible amounts of VRAM usage (like in MBs) as the data sits more in mainline system memory instead.

Searching for recommendations for a motherboard
cpu will be a 9800x3d. important features would be pci 5.0, usb 4.0, minimum 2 m.2 slots and onboard spdif

what confuses me the most is the issue with the m.2 slots and the lane usage
how they block some pci slots when used, how they might slow down the pci 5 slots because they share lanes etc

im not planning on using additional pci devices but having a free one would still be nice to have
also wifi ain't that important since im using a cable connection on the pc

How is am5 so good and so shit at the same time

>>105797685
>what confuses
There's nothing confusing about it. The manufacturer will explicitly tell you what lanes are being shared and what happens to the bandwidth when you connect them simultaneously. Google AM5 motherboards spreadsheet and you will find an easy resource to compare them, the direct google sheet link is spam filtered for some reason.

>>105797728
>Google AM5 motherboards spreadsheet
thanks for that, going through that atm
but would still like to hear some recommendation

>>105795578
>>105795601
If your here to start flame wars get the fuck out cunt doesn't matter what gpu you buy if your happy with your purchase go the fuck away and let people enjoy shit

>>105797808
>>105797685
The lane sharing is a direct result of usb4 eating up a total of x4 gen5 CPU lanes (x2 in use and x2 unused) leaving only x8 lanes (half CPU+half chipset) to be shared across 3-5x m.2. drives

I recommend you take a look at msi's x870e tomahawk (and edge ti - same board but white) which tries to reduce lane sharing by repurposing the x2 unused usb4 lanes to m.2. or all x4 CPU lanes if you're not using the usb4 slot.

with the price of monitors becoming super cheap recently i got an ips monitor to replace my old lcd seondary display. it's a 1440p 180hz 27" ips. i've been using va panels as a main monitor for years and currently using a mini-led va. i can definitively say that va is clear of ips. ips just doesn't have the same color saturation.

Is a Noctua NH-U12S redux enough for a 5700x3d? I can't really find anything else that fits in my case (nzxt h510 and gskill ripjaws V ram) and has good instructions for a brainlet like me

>When your markup costs more than a 5080

>>105798510
Never thought about it but it seems like a better compromise assuming you can find a good board with a pcie gen4 x4 slot that doesn't share lanes or impede GPU airflow

it calls to me
will girls laugh at me if I bring them back to my place and they see I don't have OLED though?
I think this could actually be a good fit for a mixture of gaming and browsing/coding/watching movies. I heard that the Alienware name doesn't mean what it once used to, though.

Should I wait for 5080 super or get a 5080 now. I only game at 1440. Maybe 4k on gta6 when that's a thing.
Upgrading from 1080, it's been a good run and can still handle most new games.
Is the extra vram going to help purely for gaming in next 4-5 years? How much future proofing will it really provide.
Also when it releases I fear it will be scalped worse than the 50 launch as its"what they should of released"
Thoughts?

Is there a bios change log I can see? Asus has a most recent change portion, but its literally just the last time I changed anything, anything else is deleted.

>>105798618
My guess is supply will probably be constrained by 3gb vram and be quite scarce

>>105798587
>I heard that the Alienware name doesn't mean what it once used to, though.

Noctua's Redux line of fans & coolers are just price-cut variants of products that were designed over ten years ago.
Buy the Scythe Mugen 6 Dual Fan cooler if you're going to pay $55 for that Boomer cooler.
Scythe is owned by a JP engineer.

The Mugen 6 DFE can match some AIOs in noise-normalized cooling tests, and designed with DRAM clearance in mind.

Why do middle clicks on mice start dying after a year? Drives me insane.

>>105798150
Guess you have to stop using computers and phones and most other electronics, then.

What's a good monitor for a 4080 Super? Can it even do 4k?

>>105800578
Because they are combined with another fiddly rotating object. I think somebody needs to create a mouse with a separate middle button from the wheel. The usual sensitivity switch and sometimes freewheel lock only matter to a select few people, that's available space for a separate button.

>>105800671
Give a budget.

>Can it even do 4k?
You'll have to tweak some settings, especially RT.
Comfortably doable with DLSS (+ FG, not mandatory).

>>105798813
but they're known for their high contrast ratio, deep blacks, and vibrant colors

Can I turn off RGB on RTX 5080 with only the driver installed? No "control center" program.

>>105800442
Some techtuber tested this recently on an asetek pump and there are cooling sweetspots that outperform higher pump % outside of these zones. Like 90% outperforming 100% and 70% doing nearly as good as 90% while 80% massively outperforms. Turns out fluid dynamics is a very complex subject

>>105800760
Preferably not over $600.
>You'll have to tweak some settings, especially RT. Comfortably doable with DLSS (+ FG, not mandatory)
Maybe I'll just save for a better graphics card or something. Thought this one was going to be good enough.

It depends on the games you play and the intensity of the RT settings you prefer to run.

MSI resides in the oled shit list because the 16 hour pixel refresh (although updated to 24h in newer firmwares because they realized they were wrong and it was unbearable, not sure if this model was updated too lazy to check), but they also have no pixel shift off feature which is a standard feature, even on TVs
I recommend not buying from terrorists (MSI) unless price is too good to pass up

i don't think it's ever been a goal for amd to compete with nvidia's top-end, because no one would buy those cards

i hear amd's new drivers are pretty good, is it worth switching over right away?

>>105801353
>they just target more budget oriented customers
No, they're throwing a few meager scraps to abused dogs because who knows there might be some money in it at some point if VR takes off or something. Nobody at AMD gives a single shit about this market, it should be abundantly clear to anybody with any knowledge about the situation at all. 90% of efforts go into AI hyperscalers and a few high-volume contracts like consoles. PC gaymers are barely a consideration.
In short: they're nvidia but worse because they don't even have the scale nor the product quality

>>105801391
You bought the AMD CPU. You installed the AMD Chipset Driver. You have the AMD igpu inside your CPU. May as well use the AMD graphics card to complete the set bonus and unlock hybrid graphics.

>>105801392
compared to nvidia, yes, it's just objectively true that the cards are made to be budget alternatives to nvidia's. you can phrase it however you want
you're right that it's very small part of both of their businesses though

>intel irrelevancy speedrun (any %)
did they finish it yet?

>>105801442
>it's just objectively true that the cards are made to be budget alternatives to nvidia's
nvidia_price - $50 isn't really much of a "budget alternative", especially when AMD still has a worse feature set (though admittedly they're not so far behind now as to not even be worth considering anymore). hell, in yurop AMD is often more expensive than comparable nvidia cards, which is just silly
incel gpus are a budget alternative, if not a particularly good one. amd gpus are, as best I can tell, meant for superfans that will buy team red no matter what
>>105801470
you best pray they won't go bankrupt or you'll enjoy monopoly prices from amd 10 milliseconds after incel is no longer a viable alternative

>>105801491

>>105801442
> the cards are made to be budget alternatives to nvidia's
Rly? Why did they price the 9070 XT absurdly high then? It should have been 550 to be competitive, according even to "AMD Unboxed".

is 6000cl30 ram really the endgame for 9800x3d? how much better is the tuned stuff?

Would it be crazy to get a 5070 ti over a 9070 xt ?

I have an old 1440p 144hz monitor that has a hardware g-sync implementation and is incompatible with freesync. Id have to get a new monitor if I were to get the 9070 xt.
I do plan in going 4k but not until next year.

I keep hearing the 9070 xt is better but Nvidia has more games that are using dlss4 vs fsr4. I know there's optiscaler to widen fsr4 support but I hear some games have graphical artifacts.

It seems like Nvidia would be the option with the least headaches and better stability for me ?

Idk help me out so I won't have buyers remorse and have to cope plss

>>105801611
may as well get the 5070ti since you paid for the gsync module

>>105801491
>>105801442

And there are people who wonder why I bought a GeForce again.

>>105801611
>Would it be crazy to get a 5070 ti over a 9070 xt ?
they're pretty much the same thing performance-wise. 5070ti has better dlss / fake frames but FSR4 is good enough unless you're pixel peeping but that's just about it when it comes to the differences
frankly, 9070XT still needs a lot of time in the oven due to how few games support FSR4, vs DLSS which works everywhere, so even without needing to replace your display I'd still lean 5070ti if they're at a similar price point

>>105801605
it was obviously competetively priced enough considering how well it's sold
btw, you might want to stop using words and terms only you use if you actually want to stay under the radar

>>105801611
> I keep hearing the 9070 xt is better
Not in RT (recent and future) games, not in 4k, not in image quality, not in temps and power usage, not in life expectancy and usability...

>>105801661

Not with me. Perhaps with people who actually starve if they pay only 100 more like I did. I haven't seen reliable statistics yet. When I see how anons kvetch and whine on /g/ because some component is just little more and how they cope by declaring the absolute cheapest to be the "most value" I get an idea of the reasons.

5800x3d or even 5700x3d is a decent uplift for gayming but it does nothing for everything else (but let's be real you're probably a worthless neet anyway so who cares)
you can get am5 for decent prices right now and there's still two models coming down the line before am6. you'll survive on am4, but it's pretty old by now - the only saving grace is that the consoles are also old trash by now so no games that are being released are demanding hardware wise anyway
going intel right now is just silly

>>105802002
I would wait and do a full-system upgrade.

That processor isn't terrible--albeit starting to show its age, but assuming you're not encountering any issues with your RTX 3080--including however much VRAM it has, then I would wait and build a completely new computer, rather that upgrade piece by piece,

Also, depending on where you live, this may be a terrible time to upgrade, unless you can find a screaming deal on used parts.

>>105802019
I would advise against this.

You're paying a premium for an -X3D chip, and if you're going to do that, do it for a non-dead platform. They also only truly excel at lower resolutions.

>>105802040
>Also, depending on where you live, this may be a terrible time to upgrade, unless you can find a screaming deal on used parts.
HODLing is surely some mental disease. What makes people think GPUs will somehow go down in price? Will 9800x3d be sold at $150 when 10800x3d comes out?
Only DDR5 will get meaningful price drops in the next few years, and ram is already cheap as-is

Wine (tm)

>>105802095
Depends on your region, depends on where you shop.

Un-ironically, the RTX 4090 seems to be the sweet spot--and I'm certainly hanging on onto mine until she gives up the ghost, but keep an eye on the Supers, or rather, pick up non-super cards, assuming they're not all immediately bought up.

intelsisters, are we winning?

>>105802136

I'd say the bus width isn't a limiting factor since Nvidia moved to GDDR7. Having your text resolution not downsampled because of limited VRAM is more important. I wish VRAM modules came in more capacity sizes for granularity of config options so GPU makers didn't have to make drastic ratcheting decisions because of incompatible ratios, for example the 5070 going from 12 (2x6 chips) all the way to 18 (3x6 chips) GB when if they had just been able to make the OG 5070 with 15-16GB (using IDK 2.5x6 chips or 4x4 chips).

Thinking about a future NAS I want and all the pre built nas systems have the hard drives insert vertically. But isn't that bad for HD drives? I thought they should be sitting horizontal, at least I feel like I saw someone say that. Is there any downside to having them like that?

there are a bunch of 3d printed 5$ ones on aliexpress that have a potentiometer, a usb-c port, and a 4 pin pwm port, you can also find them dropshipped on amazon for 3x the price (as always)
these work with any 5v1a usb phone charger (it has a 5-12v booster circuit built in)
you can also find 12v DC barrel jack to 4 pin adapter cables for like 2$ in case you don't care about the potentiometer and have a power supply from an old router laying around
a bunch of usb-a ones with a simple switch are also available, you get the idea.

>>105801820
Ram is exciting since they're starting to put out camm2 kits.
Zen6 also sounds exciting from rumors for finally moving away from the Io die design used since zen2

>>105804475
>a bunch of usb-a ones with a simple switch are also available, you get the idea.
forgot: if you go for one of those make sure it's one with a 12v booster circuit (most do include one), some are just a simple cable passing through the 5v from the usb source and 12v fans will run at 30% speed on those.

I just wanted to buy a 5070 ti 16 gb PNY......it was the only card as MSRP

What would you choose between a used 4070 Ti Super for 590€ and a new 5070 Ti for 760€?

Anyone have any experience with 5120 x 2880 monitors? Looking to upgrade from 4K from it as I miss my old 3440 x 1440 and this feels like a similar vibe. Is there a recommended one I should be getting that's at least 120hz?

9800X3D or 9950X3D for streaming (OBS) while gaming? everything I read implies 9800 is fine while 9950 is better for "workstation" shit. not sure if said workstation shit would be like, encoding and shit for stream

>>105805354
Odds are you'd be using your card to encode (NVenc/AMF) so the R7 would do fine. If you also edit video for Youtube highlights and suchlike then the R9 could be beneficial. With that said, unless you're making actual money off the clips it doesn't really matter if your renders take 10 vs. 20 minutes.

>>105795574 (OP)
Work at a thrift store.

Someone dumped a bunch of PC stuff

Scored a amd ryzen 5 2600 + mobo (no ram) and GTX 1660 super

And 3 mice (glorious model 0, some endgame brand mouse and razer dewther adder)

Question, which of those mice is the best

And is that CPU and mobo worth using over my current i7 8700 based build that I scavenged a few months ago (still on a GTX 970)

Or should I just put the 1660super in my current i7 8700 buildm

>>105805047
the fact that the cheapest 32" 240 qdoled to the asus pg32ucdm is a 400€ difference is quite a bit just to get a better osd, get a few other features
atleast they update their monitors and stuff unlike some other brands, guess you get what you pay for after all
sadly it will be worth it considering how annoying the pixel refresh is
it also seems more brands are not retarded than choosing to be retarded on purpose which was also suprising

>>105805044
the upside of the smart tv thing was you could access the service menu and allegedly increase brightness
downside is the matte coating, but you can also just do the peel and get a glossy display
downside is samsung has reported black screening/flicker on the dp port on the earlier models too, fixed ?
the age old saying every display is shit might be true after all

>>105805023
even all the normie reviewers glaze asus, considering msi is not cheap enough in europe why would I ever buy it over asus if already at that point

>>105804549
you mean 5120 x 2160 right? since ultrawide

Hi guys, I wanna buy a gift for my buddy, and he already has this laptop.

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/gaming-laptops/alienware-m15-ryzen-edition-r5-gaming-laptop/spd/alienware-m15-r5-laptop

The Alienware M15 Ryzen Edition R5 Gaming Laptop.

I'm not quite sure what pic related means. He has 500GB of storage, so playing any games, he always has to play Tetris with his storage settings to somehow download something new. Is a 2TB M.2 compatible with his current 500GB M2 drive, or would I need to get him another 500GB (or 2x 1TB, 2TB, etc.)?

Confirmation that AMD fucked up, 9070XT should have been a $400 card, and the 9060XT should have been $250

>>105806549
>More people have a 5090 than any AMD GPU

Pricing doesn't matter, gamers care about quality, stability and features that AMD nor Intel deliver.

>>105805716
Pure HTPC or going to use it for games/emulation too?
Thats a pretty ancient case now too, I don't think its PCIE riser will support anything modern also a bit big if you want to purely use it for media - I'd consider getting something more compact really.

CORSAIR RM1000x arriving today

gonna save some money for a 5080 and retire my 3080

>>105806507
Yes adding another drive should be fine unless for some odd reason he configured the laptop with the "2x 256GB" option. In which case both slots would be occupied and he'd have to remove one drive to make room for the upgrade. Still nbd really - just transfer the contents over with an adapter.

>>105806315
>which of those mice is the best
The one that feels best in your hand. They're all at least decent by way of specs so your subjective assessment is the decider.

>is that CPU and mobo worth using over my current i7 8700
>should I just put the 1660super in my current i7 8700 build
The 8700 is generally faster than the 2600. It'd take a Ryzen 5xxx chip to meaningfully beat it in games. Keep your eye out I suppose.

How do I know if I have to upgrade my CPU, or just get more memory?
I like to have tons of tabs open, but also play games at ultra settings 60fps,right now 1080p but would like to go to 2K soon.
Would buying larger RAM and a higher capacity SSD help over a new cpu?

>>105806585
What's done is done and all but you probably didn't need to upgrade the PSU. If it can handle a 3080 (TDP 320W, spikes 500W) it can handle a 5080 (TDP 360W, spikes 450W).

>>105806678
i honestly wanated a atx 3.1 psu just for the convenience of 5000 series compatibility

>>105806684
Fair enough. I suppose if you have 5080 money a new PSU is chump change.

>>105806664
Monitor resource usage. If your memory is full or close to full it's time to upgrade it. Though you might want to leave it until you upgrade the while system if that's close.

>>105806713
nah just saving some money here and there

>>105806717
I'm not sure if its my memory or Firefox
I have 135 tabs open and it's using 95% of memory

>>105806725
Then you need more memory (or less tabs lol). Again, if you're planning on building a new rig in 3 months or whatever just deal with it because you're likely on DDR4 so it won't be compatible with a new (DDR5) build.

>>105806655
>It'd take a Ryzen 5xxx chip to meaningfully beat it in games. Keep your eye out I suppose.

Would it fit in this same mobo I remember er reading how amd cpus can s with diff gens

I know I should upgrade my mobo and get a new AM5 CPU and DDR5...but I really hate doing the installation of components on the mobo

>>105806836
get a friend to do it
you big baby

>>105806836
Setting up the Mobo is the easiest thing. The hardest imo is transferring EVERYTHING from one case to another.

gonna sell my 3080ti and use the money to upgrade to a 9070xt :)

how does Nvidia do it?
I kneel to Jenson.

I've asked this before but I'm going crazy with the amount of options
I'm looking to upgrade my ryzen 5 3600 to something that's good and will last a while, and good enough for ultra settings 2k gaming, with a 4070
Any recs? Currently have the B550 motherboard

>>105807363
5600/X, 5700X, and 5700X3D are all good options.
I don't think you'll need an -X3D chip for a 4070 GPU unless you play competitive shooters most of the time.
I would get the 5700X if you're worried about 6 core not aging well (I think they will be fine).
