>News & Rumors
RTX 50 Super rumors: 5070 Ti Super 24GB, 5080 Super 24GB, 5070 Super 18GB

>Omissions
RTX 5070 Ti: buy if you need CUDA, if you value DLSS/Reflex that highly, and if the 5060 Ti 16GB or 5070 isn't performant enough.
RTX 5070: buy if it's reasonably priced & if you plan to work around potential VRAM bottlenecks.
RX 9070 non-XT: worth considering if it's significantly cheaper than the 9070 XT.

>Product Notice
AOC Q27G40XMN: nice budget 1440p miniLED monitor but inconsistent QC.
Bad one causes DisplayHDR setting to look overbrightened and desaturated when applying the best local dimming option.

Gigabyte RTX 50 & RX 9000 video cards: thermal gel has QC issues, Gigabyte claims only early production batches were affected.
https://www.igorslab.de/en/update-on-thermal-putty-on-gigabyte-graphics-cards-after-further-storage-oil-separation-to-an-alarming-extent-and-silence-as-a-strategy/

Avoid updating Gigabyte motherboard's RGB controller firmware, as it can disable board features such as Q-Flash Plus.

>>105920723 (OP)
What's the current go-to for buying/selling used PC parts? R*ddit r/hardwareswap seems popular, but they have account age reqs which are probably impossible to get since r*ddit will auto-b& accounts for no reason now. eBay is an option but I'd like to avoid it as much as possible.

>>105920751
eBay is generally the safest due to its buyer protection refund policy.
If you buy parts from other places, you need to check they're working as advertised and the hardware is performing up to expectations.

>>105920771
I'm trying to sell. I'm more concerned with encountering weirdos that will try shit IRL. eBay does seem safer, but I'm not interested in having the transaction show up on my taxes.

Thanks for linking to the true /pcbg/, the other general is flame war-instigating /AMD PC Building General/.

Then you have less risk as a seller. Get your money before you hand over the hardware.

Repoosting

To elaborate on my choice problem
>>105920363
>14400f is for sure going to bottleneck a 5070 in basically everything at 1080p. If you can't don't want a 9x50x3d why not like the i9+the 5070+1080p?
>>105920417 (You)
>Bottleneck how? I'm fine at bottleneck over 100fps, I'm only expecting comfortable 60fps.
>Yes better CPUs can get 20%+ out of 5070 but do I really need them on 1080p?

Also, I wanted to add: I want NVIDIA GPU for DLSS + FG + LLM reasons.

There is nothing I can buy in my shithole between RTX 3060 12GB (350 EUR) and RTX 5070 12GB (700 EUR) that is worth the money.

5060 Ti is also around 700 EUR.
4060 Ti is around 600 EUR.
4070 SUPER Ti are unicorns at 800-900 EUR.
There are no 4080 on the market at all.
Even 3090/3090Ti are rare at around 500-800 EUR used.
There is no middle ground between 𝟯𝟬𝟲𝟬 𝗮nd 𝟱𝟬𝟳𝟬 here, nothing is 𝗮v𝗮il𝗮ble.

So yeah, 5070 is going to be bottlenecked by i5-14400F. But there's nothing NVIDIA sells here that I can buy cheaper than 5070.

>>105920820
the other thread does not say to not buy intel or nvidia products or that they are bad and even has GeForce cards in the OP for workstations. you are the one brand warring by saying it is a shill thread for the brand you don't like simply because it doesn't list products from the brand you are a fanboy for. you are the troll.

>>105920827
>duplicate spam thread
This thread is not a duplicate of your /AMD PC Building General/, you can keep that one.
The recommended parts are different.
You can't delete the truth btw.

Thanks for linking the true PCBG.

>>105920849
Then you can stay in the other, All-AMD, thread.

>>105920836
>So yeah, 5070 is going to be bottlenecked by i5-14400F.
The bottleneck won't be severe if it even exists.
14400F's P-Cores are better than a 12600's.

>Including the 5060 Ti 16GB as a purchase option in the main OP is "shilling"
>Mentioning 5070/Ti as viable options in certain circumstances is "shilling".
Stay in your /AMD PCBG/ thread.

>>105920867
>All-AMD, thread
why are you lying?

>>105920891
Well i9 14900K gives like 20-30 more fps in 1080p, so I would consider that bottlenecking: if you change CPU to more powerful one and game gives you more FPS. But that's between 100 and 130 or 120 and 150 fps, so negligible for 60hz monitor anyway.

>>105920908
Don't be proud of recommending the 3090 that is consistently dying.
All-AMD for a gaming PC recommendation is an instigation of a flame war.
Stay in your AMD PCBG thread.

so done with these fucking melting issues on my 5090. i was in the middle of typing up a shitpost dunking on the AMDrones when my cable melted and whole pc caught on fire, I have to build a whole new pc. im suing nvidia and building an all amd pc with the settlement money fuck it idc anymore.

>>105920914
Depends on the game title.
If the 14400 is capable of running online shooters at 300 fps and the 14900k @ 320fps, is it worth this concern?
You said you don't have the funds to make upgrades anyway.

>>105920921
Holy shit it's Igor Wallossek from Igor'sLab!

I for one wont be using this thread since it's made by the animal nigger who thinks he has a monopoly on the OP and is the only one allowed to bake now. Pcbg was better when it went back and forth between a couple OPs from a few different autists. More variety of opinion

>>105921002
Then you can stay in /AMD PCBG/, no one forced you to click this general and write that reply.

Why not just spin off 2 extra generals off of pcbg? An amd general and an nvidia general. Problems solved

>>105921016
>OP doesn't list products from my favorite brand i cheerlead for so its shilling
The only shill here is you

>>105921051
The schizos must have their /AMD pcbg/, so they will have one.

>>105921059
You don't really care about helping people pick PC components.
When you completely exclude hardware options in the OP, there's always a handful of anons genuinely asking why Intel or NVIDIA are not reasonable options.
The OP and the omissions are meant to help those people, not me.

The only component I own in the OP is the DDR5 memory kit.
