Unbiased unbranded facts and data please, im here for physics, not divit et conquera

>>105925265
True

>>105924932
Its just paranoia
IDK what's with /pcbg/'s flip flopping between trust everything and don't trust everything

>>105925487
>Its just paranoia
It's a flaw, that's why the 3090 Ti has a revised board design that is closer to the 4090's.
You can even install a 4090 GPU and run it in a 3090 Ti PCB after BIOS modifications.

>>105925512
If it was that bad of a flaw then every PCB would have gotten revised after the initial batches.
Not gonna deny its probably suboptimal but clearly it wasn't that bad of a problem for AIBs not to take very drastic action

>>105925547
>If it was that bad of a flaw then every PCB would have gotten revised
That would cost more money because it's as simple as just swapping the physical board.
They would've had to switch to costlier voltage controllers for all video cards that power the GA102 chip.

The 3090, 3080/Ti use two cheaper voltage controllers.
That's why the power phases a split into the NVVDD (GPU core) and MSVDD (SoC), and the VRMs for the NVVDD are the ones that usually die from enduring too many transient spikes.
The 3090 Ti is safer because it doesn't use this cost-cut design.

3090, 3080/Ti are all time-bombs, AIBs have exhausted their RMA stock of these cards.

>>105925603
>because it's as simple
because it's not as simple

>>105925547
>clearly it wasn't that bad of a problem for AIBs not to take very drastic action
AIBs aren't allowed to make drastic changes to the video card's power delivery design.
All they can do is add more phases (band-aid) for the NVVDD, but even overbuilt Strix, AORUS, and Suprim 3090s have been dying.

There's a reason why NVIDIA ditched that split power phase configuration for the 3090Ti.

>>105925665
>AIBs aren't allowed to make drastic changes to the video card's power delivery design.
Then what the fuck is their purpose if they can't design better PCBs?
You mean to tell me its impossible on the AIBs end to have fixed the 3090s?
Why are people patronizing these AIBs every so harder by giving them more money every gen if they are so constrained?
None if you foils make sense anymore.

>>105926047
The 3090 chip was programmed to work with a split power delivery design, which has proven to be unreliable.
AIBs don't have the license or the resources to change that. Only NVIDIA can do this.

AIBs can only add more/better power phases to that flawed power design, use better TIMs, and/or improve the cooling & operating noise.

Real thread

Is it normal that an LED on a motherboard flashes for split second when turning the PSU on, but nothing else happens? I don't have RAM and CPU yet, so I only tested by connecting the ATX power connector. Even without that I'd expect the rest of the LEDs to stay on or something. Motherboard is Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite.

between rx 9060 xt and rx 6800 non xt which one I should choose ? Looking at benchmark videos the performance is almost same and 6800 is 70 € cheaper

No point bumping a duplicate, brand war thread

>>105932075
what the fuck is that

>hardware sperg out general even though its the software that keeps getting more bloat and worse performing

I updated my Nvidia drivers, and the app went black. I can't close it. Will I brick my GPU if I restart?

I should probably update the BIOS on my new pc right?

Apropos nothing I was checking out the latest review on the SETA H2 since it's hard to find a good pc case these days with real storage support worth a damn only to discover Silverstone wants to ask over $200 for it and not include a single fan OoB with the predictable results you see in the attached pic. Needless to say I am very disappointed that my aging Define R4 may never be able to be retired nor will Fractal update the series lineup (and fuck rack mount chassis).

Well Im RMAing the cpu this time, Idk if to buy an actual compatible ram for the board or just run it at 5600 with less voltage.
Guess the anon that told me that 2x48 6000 at 1.4V is a bit too much, had a lot of reason.

>>105933523
>Give the computer to a store to see if they can pin point the issue

That implies it wasn't the same store you bought it from. Sounds like someone just did a charity.

>>105933523
I had the same issue and it turned out to the PSU shitting itself and not supplying the board with enough power. Change out the PSU before RMAing I recommend. That saved me from having to wait for the RMA.

Do any of you guys have any experience in getting partial discounts talking to customer support jeets?
They sent me the regular pny 5070ti instead of the ayrgb version I ordered. I got it at the 750 dollar msrp but the listing shows the higher end model

>>105933561
are you sure the receipt says "RGB MODEL"

>>105933545
Yeah sorry for my shitty explanation. I bought the parts online
>>105933551
What? its a fucking 1200w corsair platinum. I guess I could test with a shitty 750w 80bronze psu first. But isn't that super weird?

>>105933576
PSUs can fail, but swapping out from my 1200w thermaltake to a corsair 1000w rmx solved my yellow dram issues on boot completely after I tried new kits. I thought my CPU was fried, I even swapped the motherboard twice and it still wouldn't boot. Doesn't hurt to try another PSU to see if that's the problem first.

>>105933568
It doesn't explicitly say RGB MODEL but the box of the argb model is in the listing along with the other pictures

>>105933592
the images can be incorrect on the site, you might want screenshots of them + the order page

>>105933587
Welp, tested with a 750W psu with just one cpu 8pin and I still got the same yellow DRAM led

>>105933815
Exact same thing happened to me and I had to take it to a store too. They said it was mainly due to an internal USB hub I carried over from my old system not being compatible due to wiring pinouts, but you don't have one. Did you check the case grounding? The store also said that was a common culprit.

>20 years ago new games used to run at 480p30 on top end hardware and people were happy
>now people expect them to run at 4k240 on budget cards or else they declare them badly optimized
what changed?

>>105934250
Entitlement
Youtube letting poors know what they are missing out on.
Monitors more prominently market their specs so poors are reminded they cannot utilize it properly.
Wide variety of games so some indie pixelshit can run at 4k120, which is just not accessible to the poor in a AAA.

having no issues after building a pc is nice and all, but nothing beats the satisfaction and relief of finally solving a problem and witnessing your pc finally work correctly

>>105934250
Budget card 20 years ago: $100
Budget card now: $600 (out of stock)

>>105934326
>Poors
Most triple A slop games even with 5090 a 3000 dollar plus gpu won't run at anywhere near 120 with max settings and 4K DLAA. You have to use upscaling. No one is entitled the games just suck and rely on upscaling from 720p to get good fps now.

>>105934430

The 5050 is a $250 card. Even the 5070 is one of those few cards that like to stay at MSRP, and that is not "budget".

>but eight gig-
User error settings. AAA games today are even nice enough to not have overmuch variance between Low and High settings, despite the former allowing such cards to run them flawlessly. Then there's neural textures on the way to ALLOW poors to start playing at high settings for a modest framerate cost.

1080p chads, how do we stop winning?

>>105934879
these days you'd really want a console thing that costs very little, the games get optimized for that set of hardware PLUS you can install windows on it and use it as a regular pc for 4chan and porn

it'd solve a lot of problems if you just had a lot of devs optimizing for 1 set of linux/windows pc hardware

>>105935262
I would get PSU that is at least 80+ Gold and RAM that comes in 16x2 kit, not just two planks of 16gb.

in terms of energy efficiency is it better to add an additional fan if it means the entire computer would run much cooler?
pic rel, i realize it's an inoptimal setup due to old case. and i cannot seem to move the cables on the floor away from the bottom fan.
is there any point of having a fan pointing at the HDD's? it's not like they run hot. i was thinking about moving it to the top to output air.

>>105935262
get a 2 x 16gb bundle
case and aio are pretty cringe, there has to be better options available

Any particular brand I should choose for my 5060Ti 16GB card? I was told the Gainward Python III with three fans was good, but in the same price segment, maybe even slightly cheaper, I have a Gigabyte card. (Palit, Zotac, Asus too)
Really no clue if there's any brands to stay away from.

>>105935345
anon do you even know what energy efficiency means or how cpus work

What do you have to say about RTX 5060 Ti 8GB for 1080p gaming?

The jump in price to RTX 5070 12GB is +32% and to RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is +22%

>>105935452
If 5060ti 16gb isn't 100 bucks more than 5060 then it's worth. In case of 5070 it's better wait for drop. 5070ti SUPPOSEDLY is faulty af.

>>105935583
>I am, just text though.
With 8gb? Sounds miserable, if not impossible. Didn't LLMs actually need even more vram than SD? Unless you mean as a service and not local, making this entirely irrelevant.
>Unavailable here
Still can't recommend the 5060ti/8 at all. If you don't want to shell out for the 16gb model (it's not exactly great anyway), check your local used market.

>>105935620
I'm doing it right now with 6gb, locally. You can choose more compact model by sacrificing accuracy.
>local used market
It's been like 2 months after 50xx appeared here, the used offers are just 5% under retail price.

>>105935631
Well then you'd probably want more vram for that anyway, no? Depending on how much you do it.
>It's been like 2 months after 50xx appeared here
I mean for older cards

>>105924943
>mwii
What a trooper. insane you'd play that over iii.

>>105935659
I do want more vram but not at that price.
>older cards
There are no older used NVIDIA cards here with 12-16gb of RAM, that are cheaper than new 5060 Ti 16gb, unless you go necro into 3090, which would need another $100 for new PSU that I'm not buying for it.

I guess my question is 8GB of ram really limiting in 1080p 60hz gaming? It doesn't look like I have much choice if I want to upgrade soon, and keep using CUDA LLM.

>>105935698
You might need to lower settings in some cases, but it should be fine for now. It's just that you might as well get a 5060 if you're looking for the bare minimum. It's also e-waste but to a less ridiculous extent, and you'll waste less money.

>>105935666
would you redo benchmarks samianually for 20gpus for every codslop that comes out

Got absolute minimum, waiting for 2027

seems like my 9800x3d taps out at -17 all core. going higher either reduces the clocks or crashes out.

Newfag here, can comeone do comparison of nvidya and amd in terms of power. Like 5060 is equal to adm? Etc...

Does cinemabech score equal speed/power? For example, one cpu has 1000 score, the other 10000. Does that mean that cpu is ten times stronger/faster than the other?

>>105932723
>aesthetics
>Of black box under the desk

>>105936035
if its a multicore benchmark it might mean cpu #1 has 1 core at 1000mhz, and cpu #2 has 10 cores at 1000mhz and if some app only used 1 core they would perform identically

single core bench tells you how fast 1 core is relative to other cpus and then it would mean 1 cpu is 10x faster than the other

>>105936035
thats right

>>105935914
not a problem if your chip already has low factory voltages. mine does -20 stable in VT3 but its a garbage bin 112sp with very high stock voltages and temps

For the 9070 XT, would you rather 4K with more upscaling or 1440p with less upscaling?

>>105936570
its 1440p gpu
for 4k youd want 5070 ti at minimum

>>105936583
5070ti is a 1080p card with driver issues

>>105936656
you upscale from 1080p using dlss transformer modelto 4k and it looks great
but most people cant afford that and they can play at 1440p

>>105936664
Graphics options scale with internal resolution. So the 1080p card objectively looks worse than the 1440p card (9070xt). Every single DirectX and Vulkan graphics option is a resolution factor and lower pixel count = worse.

you don't need an AIO for a 9800X3D but if you insist on getting one you could just get a thermalright unit. They're cheap and reliable enough.

i fell for every meme

>>105936745
Then why haven't you fallen for the ram cooling meme?

Two questions:

1) What am I missing out on by going with a 9600x vs a higher tier CPU? Will I regret it 5+ years in?

2) Are there any small desktop or otherwise flat cases that I could potentially strap under my desk (conveniently, obviously I could strap a tower under there but it would not be convenient)?

3) BONUS QUESTION (because I just thought of it): If I care most about latency and throughput, what CPU and such do I need? Does the motherboard version make a difference? I know I'd need fast RAM and one of the top tier m2 SSDs

>>105934879

Unfortunate that AMD doesn't have an alternative yet, their cards are 10-30% less efficient with vram usage making the 9070xt in practice an 11gb-14gb card.

Once that technology spreads it will unironically be parry or die for AMD. If they do not have an answer IMMEDIATELY they will risk fading into actual irrelevancy. Even Unboxed Steve is willing to admit the 5060 has strong performance only held back by its VRAM limitations. Should that ceiling be practically removed entirely for -5 FPS (more than paid back by not being memory limited), then the 5060 ends up being able to play every single AAA going forward while you have to pay a premium for a 9060 XT 16GB to compete, AND the textures will still look Better than Native™ on the former.

I might not have his 5090 but I still have something to show, since I started this conversation. If even the 3rd world can afford a good card, that means those choosing to throw their lot in with AMD do so with no concern to price, performance nor future features.

When the HUB video came out all the njudea shills worked overtime to slander Steve and call him a liar. Now we have more independent testing exonerating him. The only difference in this test here is the driver version on the same patch of windows and its a 10 fps increase in Indiana Jones PT, this game and Black Myth Wukong which also sees a similar improvement are probably the two worst performing RT games for RDNA 4. This shows the full pathracing performance has not been unlocked yet and the FSR Redstone update coming in a few months will give a significant increase. The difference in non pathtraced RT between 5070 ti and the 9070 XT is already practically a tie with games such as AC Shadows where the 9070 XT wins even. It's nice to see that AMD is working effectivelyto refine RDNA 4 and narrow the gap further.

>>105938342
You're complaining about not being able to get a 40 series, while saying the 50 series isn't up to your standards. I think you might be a bit retarded.

>>105938392
NTA but 5070 is terribly overpriced. 5060 Ti 16Gb is merely $100 cheaper than 5070. 4070 Ti is faster than 5070. And Gigabyte saturated early launch market with their cum-dripping shit so hard that cards from other manufacturers skyrocketed in price just because they don't cum all over your PC when hot.

>>105938410

In my market there is nothing worth it's money between 2nd-hand 3060 Ti and new 5070. You simply can't buy anything in between, used or new.. Everything is so close in price to 5070 that it doesn't make sense to buy anything else. 4070 is unavailable, naturally.
>>105938502
For only $100 difference but in my market it's more like $250 difference because of Gigabyte shit.

I don't get how people are loyalists for amd vs nvidia.
I do wish the intel cards werent junk, they look really cool to me

Can some of you help regarding finding another ram to work with my HyperX HX430C15PB3/16? https://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX430C15PB3_16.pdf

I don't care about the XMP profile I will not use that.

Is it only the timings, frequency and voltage that matters, or should I also match the memory brand (micron, samsung, hynix etc...) and the rankness too dual rank single rank

>>105938560
>I don't get how people are loyalists
Me neither. I was simply buying what was cheaper and faster. I wish AMD didn't fall behind in optiscalers and frame generation. I know they're getting there as we speak, but those older released titles that I have missed playing because my PC was too shit, are never getting those technologies. So if I want to play even 2-3 years old games, I have no choice but to go with NVIDIA. I also want some light LLM capabilities. For NVIDIA it's 4 clicks away after installing CUDA drivers. I'm not sure it even works on AMD.

It's good that Intel launched their own line of GPU, but there's literally no stock even if I wanted to buy them.

>>105938457
>why did x remove y
It's old and costs money to maintain and the reason why it only affects old games is because literally nobody uses it anymore.

Need some advice. Been rocking the pic on the left for quite some time now and only recently noticed that fan 1 is not blowing anywhere close to the ammount of air either of the fans 2 are. So ive been thinking maybe changing up my fan setup to the pic on the right. Thinking about adding another intake fan 4 up top while also potentially turning the top fan 2 into an intake fan 3 and maybe adding another one to blow fan 5 to blow directly into the gpu.

>>105940001
>no wonder
The blower cards being borderline unusable probably contributes, super tiny heatsink. You can get to 1080ti (probably higher at this point) performance with the water cooled cards though if you're using linux. The red devil and I think sapphire pulse (can't remember if that's the card) are also decent.

>>105940120
I was planning on using linux but definitely no water cooling. This is supposed to be a budget build. I see a few 1080s, 5700 and xts around 90 bucks. Would any of these fuck me over with random power spikes

>>105940191
>Would any of these fuck me over with random power spikes
Nah even the 2080ti and 1080ti weren't quite as housefirery. Would probably go RDNA1 over pascal, especially if you're using linux.

I bought a 9600x for $150 to go with a 5070, is it worth it to get a 7800x3d at $340 instead. I’ll probably not upgrade for 5 years and mostly just going to school as undergrad for another few years.

>had 1080p laptops for 15+ years at this point
>finally get a 1440p monitor, 27in, and a 1440p 16in laptop
>The monitor is litterally less crisp when playing games then my prior laptops, and the 1440p screen on the laptop itself is unusable for anything but games due to how tiny the menus and shit are

Do people typically suggest getting 24in monitors for 1440p then? I see almost nobody suggesting 24in monitors and people getting 27 or 32 in ones or bigger, which seems nuts to me based on this. Do I just have really high pixel density standards or something?

Also how do people handle high res laptop displays without tiny as fuck menus? Window's scaling seems terrible and applies itself to things it shouldn't. Why the fuck is scaling even still necessary, has Microsoft seriously never bothered to make dedicated menu and UI graphics made for 1440p and 4k displays?

>>105940260
Thanks anon, I'll either go with a 580 or a 5700xt

>>105940374
the only way its less crisp is if you're running the wrong resolution

>>105938209
>Is this going to be another poorfag cope feature that gets rebranded as a Premium Exclusive Deluxe feature like upscaling?
Don't act like some 7900 XTX owners aren't begging for an official port of FSR4.

>>105939422
Performance-related issues are mostly down to the OS & game engine, especially for DX12 titles.
It's not a coincidence Microsoft started to accelerate Windows display-related issues since NVIDIA started to work on RTX 50 driver fixes; NVIDIA was finding issues that Microsoft needed to fix for Windows.
Even HWUB Steve admitted his little "Fine Wine" video's performance boost mostly stemmed from games + Windows updates.

>>105938801
It depends on how large a case you want.
Pop Air, Epoch, and Meshify 3 are a bit smaller (space for 280 or 240mm rad for the top panel).
Lancool 216's front fans run loud at stock settings, you will need to set a lower static speed, still a nice case.

207 or 4000D RS ARGB if you like light shows, they are both good cases.

Montech Air 903 is a decent budget case, but the design isn't for me.

>>105938801
Fractal Epoch and Meshify 3 cases have the best bundled fans; they compete well against Noctua's G2 fans that cost over $30 each.

>>105940440
I'm running it at it's native resolution, it' a LG 27GP850-B

And it absolutely looks less crisp then the same image on a 1080p 16in laptop, I had them right next to each other.

Why WOULDN'T it be less crisp when a 16in 1080p laptop display has higher pixel density then a 1440p 27in one? I should have known better desu

>>105937256

>Driver overhead
AMD fanatics always cite benchmark sources that love to rig the table in favor of Radeon GPUs.

>>105940923
my mistake I assumed you were being a different kind of retarded
of course the higher dpi screen is going to look sharper
I use 4k 27" with 150% scaling and have minimal issues

In my country 9070 XT Mercury OC was around 120$ cheaper than the worst shitty 5070 Ti with plastic backplate and 230$ cheaper than the first decent one from MSI.

Even if it's minimally slower it was worth it. I had Nvidia before those brand wars are fucking retarded. Corps are not your friends.

1080p at that res is like 140ppi, you need 4k 32" to match it or 4k 27" to beat it

what is scaling

>Do people typically suggest getting 24in monitors for 1440p then?
no there are literally no good monitors

>Do I just have really high pixel density standards or something?
yeah if you are used to 140ppi everything outside 4k will look like ass to you as said, rightfully so

1000W is future-proofing your pc unless you paypig for a 90 series Njudea gpu. The price difference isnt that much anyway, its a silly thing to 'save' money on.

>>105941594
you're planning to buy a gpu in 2+ years time? what is wrong with you? FSR4 is technically RDNA 3 exclusive because they designed a subsection of the gpu's cores to process it directly, similar to Njudeas DLSS-dedicated die-space.

Its a shame its no longer open-source and available to both Njudea, Intel-aviv, and all amd gpus, but it never gained any real market-share outside of amd gpus and the upscaling arms-race demanded a sacrifice i suppose.

>>105941618
4k on a tiny 27inch monitor is just stupid, that's all. Unless you live in a shoebox and can't afford the space, or have to game in a humiliating location that is size-constrainted because you're whipped like pic rel.

Also without using upscaling tech you're compromising with god-awful scaling that isn't really supported by a lot of popular apps. Steam is a pain in the dick sometimes at 1440p with its tiny text, i'd dread to post or parse the steam discussion forums/friends groups at 4k.

Why is there not a laptop general? I'm aware of the Thinkpad thread but I want to run Windows and just be able to have 30 tabs open, it be fast and watch a movie. Im not a schizo Linux retard that wants to have to install 30 drivers for the audio to work or care much.

>>105942057
Because it's not that hard to pick a laptop you need/want? Especially with all the dedicated laptop reviewers available.
It's more about whether the laptop spec you want is worth spending the money on.

>>105942048
It would be my very first monitor, so as long as it's good quality, I'll go for it. I'll consider the mount since I don't have much space in my desk and I'm planning on getting a second one in the future.

>>105942086
I'd look for alternatives; the brightness is too low for an IPS monitor.
See if the Acer XV271U M3 is available at a reasonable price.

Makes sense. Appreciate the response.

Can anyone help me out with a case for my build? I plan on getting a used 4090 but I don't know if that case i picked would fit it.

>>105942150
its like you bought expensive cpu and gpu and everything else is bargain bin

just get a fractal north case, it at least says on the specs what size gpu fits it

>>105942150
You just have to check the spec sheets of the case and the 4090 model you want to purchase.
They give you a GPU length clearance; you should plan to have at least 20~30mm of spare clearance (with front fan or radiator attached).
Use the case's CPU height clearance information to check whether the case is wide enough to fit the card plus the 35mm recommended cable clearance before bending it..

Seasonic's 35mm bend clearance isn't a requirement; they're covering their asses with that disclosure.

>>105942166
Cool I'll look it up. My budget is $2500, gotta cheap out on everything else kek. Is there anything you'd suggest i "upgrade" on?

>>105942150
blowing a whole nvme slot on a anemic 500gb drive is stupid, don't do it

>>105942136
Would it be this one? Looks pretty affordable: https://a.co/d/2b72x7i

I also looked for that AOC Q27G3XMN on the image, but it's not available.

>>105942215
I'd get a watercooler for the cpu. Its not necessary but it leads to less throttling and lower noise when the cpu ramps up.
The mobo has 1 pcie 5 m.2 slot so I'd get a 2tb samsung 9100 for it. Theres 2 other pcie 4 m.2 slots and your cheaper nvmes can go in those.

ram is prob fine but not best
psu is a random brand and the usual wisdom is get known brands that are well reviewed

>>105942232
I was thinking of using the 500gb ssd for Windows and files. And the 4th for games. Would there not be any benefits in separating them? Should i just stick to the 4tb?

Should i keep my 150$ 9600x and wait for zen 6? Or should I just get a 7800x3d instead? I'm paring it with my 5070ti at 4k

>>105942241
>Would it be this one? Looks pretty affordable: https://a.co/d/2b72x7i
>Nitro XV271U M3bmiiprx
That's the one

>>105942275
9600x is pretty good for any game and the difference in 4k is going to be some random 1% drops and depends on if the game is poorly coded or something.

I don't like when PC parts say "gaming" on them. It's like having a bunch of shit on your car that says "driving"

>>105942262
I could swap out the PSU to a be-quiet one, its about $20 more
Which pcie 5 ssd do you recommend? Their prices are pretty high. I honestly would rather have more storage than speed

>>105942283
Thanks fren, I'll keep it on the list.

I'm so tired of running max low graphics on helldivers 2 man.

>>105942649
just get a console lil nigga

>>105942649
9060 xt 16gb or up the budget to get 5070 and actually good experience

Do you guys think it's possible to build something that can get 240fps on high in Rocket League and CS2 for under $900? I already have a monitor and SSDs and possibly can reuse a case

>>105942814
5060 gpu 330$
some am5 mobo <150$
9600x cpu <250$
thermalright cpu cooler <50$
32gb ddr5 ram <110$
750w psu <90$

>>105942653
try harder, here's a pity (You)
>>105942660
thanks, 9060 should last me awhile

>>105942851
>9060 should last me a while
lamo

>>105942882
im kinda going for lower price here, most of the games i play are already over or are reaching a decade old already.

I have an unopened 8700k, STRIX Z370-E, 64gb DDR4-3000 CL16 RAM, and a Deepcool Castle 240EX, (and a 1000w PSU and a case, but I'd hold onto those) I've had sitting around for 7-9 years at this point

Is it worth trying to sell all that minus the case and PSU? (could I get $200 for it?) or am I better off just building it and buying a modern GPU, and then upgrading the CPU, RAM, MOBO, and cooler later?

How much issues will I run into if any trying to use a 4080 with this? Obviously I'll be CPU limited, but in practice I'm wondering how it'd handle say Cyberpunk if I wanted to play at medium to high settings at 1440p at 60fps. Also wondering if the 4000 series GPUs have the right power connections for an older PSU without using the dodgy/flawed converters

>105941895
get baited pedo-schizo lmao, 4 low quality posts are a drop in the ocean compared to your dedicated shill-ti faggotry.

>>105942931
then yes the 9060xt will be fine for you. I recall Njudea abandoning DX9 or some shit so older games may not work at all on the 5000 series.

>>105942931
nice gif

>>105942932
your idea sucks, build it in a cheap smaller case, and plug it into your tv to be a server/plex computer, then make a real computer for yourself with new parts. Or you can mine crypto on it or some shit, but i think thats no longer profitable so whatever.

>>105942057
There's no need for a general about a product that is one and done. Modding a laptop is either super restricted to whatever the manufacturer deems upgradeable (usually storage) or is the realm of enthusiasts who already know what they are doing. Just ask here. What laptop models are available to you and which are you currently looking at?

>>105942943
The only one who got baited here is you; even HWUB Steve couldn't outright recommend the 7900 XTX over the costlier 4080.

>>105941091
> 230$ cheaper than the first decent one
If only that had been the case in March I too would own a Radeon now.

>>105942263
A Windows drive will get frequently used for updates and assorted background Windows things, but not anything meaningfully stressful for a modern drive. You're only missing out on 500 GB, as the other anon said leave the slot open for the future.

>>105935666
>iii
insane you’d play that over 3

>>105938309
Oh yes! Even dense dust filters only filter particles down to a certain size and the very fine dust particles accumulate inside the case nevertheless. It's just a lot less material than without dust filters and doesn't choke cooling equipment nearly as quickly.

Fuck these jewish graphics cards, im never upgrading beyond 1440p

>>105943001

What the heck, I thought the RX 9070 was supposed to be good?
