>avoid gigabyte
Oh shit did I fuck up building my pc with gigabyte parts? How badly?

>>105993377
The main concern is the Gigabyte RX 9000 and the RTX 50 video cards; they make decent motherboards & monitors.

reminder to switch CPPC/deferred core to driver mode so the chipset driver correctly parks non 3d cores

>>105993392
I didn’t see anything bad about gigabyte. I only clicked this thread because I thought the image was funny. I guess I’ll be prepared for the worst now. Any time until this issue highlighted is fixed by updates?

>>105993392
gigleboom gpus have not changed since vega i see

Can I get an MFM hard drive to work with a modern Windows machine?

>>105993425
never buy the cheapest variant of a gpu, gigabyte have been the cost-cutting budget option for many years. Their psu's had a huge QC scandal for awhile too they denied until after gamers nexus exposed them.

>>105993323 (OP)
WTF is KTC and how does it have so many recs

so done with these fucking driver issues on my 5070 ti. i was in the middle of typing up a shitpost dunking on the AMDrones ITT when my screen went black and I had to turn my whole pc off. im rmaing and switching to 9070 xt fuck it idc anymore.

>>105993460
no
even the adapters are esoteric and handmade

>>105993511
KTC is basically the OEM manufacturer for some premium and medium Monitor Brands… In 2021 the began to promote their own brand of products as well (KTC standing for “Key To Combat” apparently), and are primarily focused on gaming monitors.

In other words, they're now selling directly to you the consumer instead of oems.

>>105993466
Alright when things start breaking down what manufacturer should I look to?
And how recent was this gamers nexus thing?

>>105993656
>In other words, they're now selling directly to you the consumer instead of oems.
And as a consequence they can deliver better specs at a lower price than some of the bigger OEMs.

>>105993610
>driver issues on my 5070 ti
Yeah your issue is that Nvidia GeForce is a brand of fake Radeon cards known to catch fire, and to produce fake frames with inaccurate colors. Could happen to anyone even since Njudea intentionally stole AMDs naming scheme for 9000 series to trick people into buying the off brand. I would discard it out of your house asap before the connector melts and burns you alive.

Can the 9060 XT 16 GB run 1440p 60 fps

Test

>>105993842
Yes, maybe try and OC it a bit as insurance.

>>105993693
The PC component manufacturers are mostly the same in terms of QC.
MSI generally sets safer motherboard auto settings and power limits to reduce the number of RMAs, but this doesn't mean their products have better build quality.
I think I've read the fewest complaints about Gigabyte motherboards; the good ASUS boards are overpriced.
ASRock is recommended for price-competitive products.

Will a 5070 and a 9600x run any game available at 1440?

>>105993884
Thanks. I’ll be prepared when the things start breaking down.

if i have 2x8 memory sticks, can i just get the same 2x8 memory kit if it has the same timing and speed? it says there is two XMP profiles possible in BIOS

>>105993404
I have no idea what any of these words mean. I hope this isn't a real thing that people have to do.

>>105994212
It only affects people who bought 12 and 16 core x3d CPUs

>>105994220
Is that the 7800/9800x3d? I was going to get one of those.

>>105994247
That's an 8 core so it's not affected

>>105994220
yeah i forgot to mention this

>>105994247
no
9800x3d is single ccd

>>105993905
Not at maxed out settings, but it should run most games at 1440p high.

>>105993962
there's youtube videos from years ago, answering this question in detail. In short. No. Don't do it. Stop being a jew and just get a new set of ram if you want it. Buy it as a complete package or dont do it at all.

>>105993766
Zen5 is so fucked
Other than the 9600x, the other skus should be OEM only since no sane diy buyer would bother with the rest of them

>>105993323 (OP)
Would Zen 6 be a good time to upgrade from a 13600k?

>>105995158
Maybe if they bring out cheaper X3D chips. Also depends on if your 13600K build uses DDR5 RAM that can be repurposed or if it's DDR4-based. If the latter might as well wait for a socket change to DDR6.

>>105995158
>upgrade to maybe the last cpu that will be released in socket
if you are running high hz maybe else why would you upgrade from an already capable cpu?

>>105993392
thats not "leaked paste" thats thermal putty. holy shit reddit is retarded

>>105995231
u av'n a giggle m8?

>>105995237
that's just excess thermal putty. gigabyte used putty instead of pads. jesus christ people are fucking retarded. there is nothing wrong with thermal putty. it might look messy but there is nothing wrong with it.

>>105993392
>melted
ok now the more i read the more mad i am geteting. putty doesn't fucking melt. holy shit are these inbred fucks or something? how retarded can they be. ITS EXCESS YOU DIPSHITS. its not "melting."

Only 4chan can spend hours getting hernias over semantic word games.

>>105995263
its not word games. these are retards who do not understand what thermal putty is.

>>105995158
It's gonna be just like zen3 is to zen2 so it might be worth it as long as you don't expect to upgrade in-socket

>>105995246
>>105995258
They didn't just put excess putty, they put putty that wasn't built correctly and can move about when it's warm

>>105995293
no, they didn't. they simply used to much you inbred dipshit. its down syndrome retards leading an army of other down syndrome retards to be mad about something they don't understand for retarded reddit points. go fuck yourself.

>>105995312
Read the igorslab breakdown
They didn't formulate the putty right and industry standard putty doesn't behave like the crap they use

>>105995312
The irony of you bursting a blood vessel over literally nothing while telling other people not to get mad isn't lost on me.

>>105995158
You may as well see what Nova Lake has to offer at that time

Yeah I'm skipping ddr6 until H2 2028 at the earliest

The real question is how will CAMM2 heat spreaders look like, especially RGB ones? I can even imagine that they will start putting LCD screens on top of our fucking RAM now.

>>105995515
Just use long rods extended from the motherboard screws to mount a 120mm fan bracket to directly cool the ram
No fancy heatspreader needed

>>105995589
A 120? That seems like it might fit but it will be tight, and of course has zero compatibility with CPU air coolers. They're also in the exact position to eat hot air from a passthrough GPU, but I guess there is no difference with how it is currently. A full size fan sitting on standoffs over CAMMs would double as a VRM fan too.

What do you do after having acquired a 5090?

Are 6090s coming out soon?

>>105995639
>What do you do after having acquired a 5090?
Play gaem, buy an oled screen, buy a high hz oled screen and hzmaxx, buy an oled tv and hdrmaxx
>Are 6090s coming out soon?
should be 2027 + whatever time it takes for stock to stabilize so you can buy one (remember 5090)
5090 stock just stabilized, we are like 2 years away from it

>>105995719
Apart from the Blackwell delay, Nvidia don't seem to be slowing down their pace of releasing new GPUs so I'd wager next gen is maybe 18 months away

I just want hype to die off, i need them 5080

Nothing wrong with upgrading to the final CPU on an established socket.

>>105995921
I feel if you were on a 13900k instead and some good ram you would have been fine for ages
but yea guess it will be better

>>105995975
I'm really glad I didn't go for a 13900k just for gaming in light of everything that has happened

>>105995987

and certain schizos who shall not be named still prefer intel to x3d

I'm surprised it would even post using only an AIO. Figured you'd need an open loop or CO2/LN2 for that.

*BANG*

Does the MSI B840 GAMING PLUS WIFI support the r5 9600x out of the box without a BIOS update or not?
This shit is pretty baffling, when half the motherboards on pcpartpicker list some compatibility issues and the manufacturer sites are obtuse as fuck.

>>105996759
Pcpp is just fearmongering
The x670e board I bought 4 months ago came with a Ryzen 9000 bios preloaded and could boot my 9800x3d without any hiccups
To answer your question, b840 is guaranteed to support Ryzen 9000

>>105992516
>>105992596
>>105992618
I can resell the monitors but I looked on eBay and the KTC literally never gets sold at all being a no name brand so I don't know if I'd even get anything for it

The Asus I'd make a loss because sellers on there already have it around a similar price I bought it for and can offer free delivery

But I think you're right in that it's probably dumb to keep both monitors and switch them up now and again for the fun of it. I don't see myself moving to a dual monitor setup anytime soon, maybe for future use? Idk if it's worth keeping around in the hope I do kek.

>>105996157
why does everybody still use R23?

>>105994485
>7800x3d is the comfier CPU
>It has 8 real cores and there is no need to deal with e-cores and it uses only 40W in most games

This was the most useful response. I kinda forgot 14600k only has 6 physical cores. And the wattage is what's attractive in AMD to me anyway: you can run relatively small tower to cool it.

>>105994408
>but the i5s on raptor lake are where ddr4 vs ddr5 starts to matter a decent bit even in video gaymes.
>>105994408
>13600k/14600k will throttle at stock even with the best air coolers. Even with a 360mm shitty aio it'll hit like 90c+.
May I see proof of that? Also your metairony cringe at the end of post was really embarrassing.

>>105994716
>don't forget the 14700K
It's not $230 so a worse deal.


Still looking for anyone to actually convince me

>>105997008
>It's not $230 so a worse deal
it has 8 real cores so that's why you should take it into consideration
and those meme cores are really useful when you need to compile shaders for half an hour
but if it's efficiency you're after AMD is the only option

>>105997008
Beware: Intel Raptor Lake CPUs won't be as fast as launch-day reviews promise. Maybe 5% slower.

>>105997047
there's literally no proof of this anywhere
maybe if your motherboard was juicing up the power with the launch BIOS but that doesn't affect gaming

>>105997039
>it has 8 real cores so that's why you should take it into consideration
It's 250W TDP lmao ain't no way I'm buying that for $500. I guess there's really no way but to get an AMD. Maybe X3D cache would be kind to me in shit like Tarkov too.

Thanks.

>>105997008
you can't really run a relatively small tower to cool the 7800X3D. With a dual tower it will still run around 75-85 maxed out

>>105997008
>This was the most useful response.
The wattage was the biggest factor in my moving from a 13900k to a 7800x3d, and it was entirely worth it to me. Before the 13900k i've been all in on intel cpus but their raptorlake lineup is way overtuned and runs too hot.

>>105997068
but you can and you won't lose much from doing so unlike on raptorlake
and the amount of thermal watts released into your vicinity is significantly smaller so you don't need to turn on the AC

>>105997068
>you can't really run a relatively small tower to cool the 7800X3D. With a dual tower it will still run around 75-85 maxed out
I am planning on ARTIC Freezer 36. It's rated for like 200TDP. Should be enough, no? The "relatively small" means not 1.5KG dual tower, in my book.

>>105997142
its just fud. compared to other cpus, 7800x3d runs hot for how little it pulls, sure, but it also pulls very little power most times and doesn't demand a lot of cooling. it will work well on your tower air cooler.

I have a 5700x3d, is CL16-19-19-39 3600mT/s good for it? (gskill ripjaws V if it matters)

>>105997142
it'll probably hit 90 maxed out but its supposed to be fine at 95 degrees though i have my doubts

>>105997190
sure why not

>>105997190
timings are fine
matters less with vcache anyways

>>105997142
Air cooler rated TDP is the same as PSU rated max wattage; you never use it up to the marketed limit.

>>105997244
It cooled 219W of 13700K to failure in TH tests. 7800X3D should be fine.

>>105997199
7800x3d tjmax is 89C
the only time it will ever hit that high is shader pre-compilation or cinebench

>>105997244
sorta true
>>105997255
and the same cooler will cool 400W on threadrippers
its pointless to compare cooler TDP across different cpus

>>105997312
>and the same cooler will cool 400W on threadrippers
Source?
>its pointless to compare cooler TDP across different cpus
Not if CPU you are comparing 7800X3D to is much hotter.

Honestly, you sound oblivious.

Are Asrock motherboards still kind of crappy in this day and age?

I have neither foam nor a be quiet case so I had to improvise

>>105997881
overkill psu

>>105998089
i know but it was literally only 12€ more than the 650W one

>>105997599
they're good now

>>105997916
Unless you have mechanical drives or parts with noticeable coil whine then sound dampening is largely pointless
Your cooling solution's effectiveness goes down which means your fans will have to run faster and create mroe noise anyway
As for LED, can't you just download some software from the manufacturer to turn them off?

Is that a mousepad?

>>>105992029
What do you use? Everything is optimized for nvidia

>>105998144
nigga all ai uses python. it isn't exclusive to nvidia.

>>105997312
>>105997400
NTA, but most air coolers can handle higher power loads when cooling an Intel CPU.
Difference in heat density and hotspot location.
For reference, the 7700X's PPT is less than 145W (TDP * 1.35).

>>105998135
>Unless you have mechanical drives or parts with noticeable coil whin
I have 3-5 hard disks at any given time and a GPU with a shitty heatsink and noisy fans that only run at 30% of off
I don't see how putting that onto the glass would negatively affect cooling unless there's just that much thermal radiation being absorbed by the glass in which case might as well just find a normal metal panel for it
>as for LED, can't you just download some software from the manufacturer to turn them of
Not that I know of for the Hyper 212, might just tape them off at the source if it doesn't overheat

>>105998089

wondering more what "some asrock mobo" is

>>105998137
Yes, yes it is

the mobo is B650m HDV, it was literally 90€ but has good reviews

Is it worth putting a desiccant in your pc case?

>>105998430
do you live in a rain forest?

>>105998430
thats a cool idea actually i might do this even though i live well above the water line in a relatively dry climate

>>105998430
Honestly a very good idea, while thank god my decade old components are doing okay, the case fucking rusted, and the desiccant will work very will with the heat.

>>105998430
i thought those only work well in sealed containers. for example beef jerky bags. a case isnt really sealed it has holes.

>>105997400
7800x3d is not that hot. it runs way cooler than the 13900k and 9800x3d

>>105998430
as long as the desiccant isn't rice

>>105997599
i've been using one for slightly more than a year and its been fine
no fried 7800x3d or 9800x3d so far

>>105997881

>>105998694

powercolor bros

Cant decide which air cooler to choose. ps120, pretor 130, ak620 digital pro or something else. No reviews that compare them or reviews have different results.

>asus added w11 dynamic lighting support on 600 series mobos, but not on 800 otherwise it would undermine their armory crate bloatware

fyi I asked phanteks info on t30 140, and they said should be on the market at the end of q3 if anon is waiting

Good afternoon, I hate SATA cables and tight cases.

>>105999051
I honestly don't understand the new trend of having to have a tower cooler, most new processors have low TDP and run very cool compared to older generations, if you don't plan on overclocking just use the stock cooler, if it doesn't come with one buy the cheapest highest reviewed one you can find, the money is better spent else where.

Novideo driver status?

idk if this is the right thread to ask so sorry for being a faggot

got a 18TB HDD to replace my 4TB old failing HDD

how do i transfer all the files from my old 4tb to the new 18tb?
just copy/paste the files? im scared that Windows file transfe will fuck something up...

>>105999301
Google disk cloning, you connect the two disks, and whatever software you decide on using clones the smaller one unto the larger one, whatever brand you bought likely has it's own cloning software, so use that.

oh you are right, there is literally a sticker on the new HDD shilling the Acronis software

i guess ill just use that then, thanks

>>105999149
This case I'm using 90 degree cables and it still requires me to bend them likely to unsafe levels, the only reason it is hard to close the case
You have to route them that way to connect 2.5" drives, and stupidly enough the slot on the bottom gets blocked if you use sata cables there

Another thing to consider is the notch in the cabling and the mobo sockets, you could get the fucking 90 degree cables only to find out they won't fit because the notch is the other way around and the cable still won't fit.

>>105999461
I'd get a fresh coat of thermal paste before jumping to any conclusions.

>>105999461
the delta between edge and hotspot shouild be more than 21c.

36c means the it needs a repaste.

>>105999476
should be no more than 21c*

>>105999461
Is it a Gigabyte Radeon card? The maximum hotspot temp for RX 7000 GPUs is around 110°C.
Wouldn't be surprised if RX 9000 has the same thermal limits.

>>105999424
Or you get 90 degree SATA ports on the motherboard which seems like the default these days until you realize not all cases play nice with them, while some dont even fit.

Objectively flawed unsafe design. Stop doing unpaid damage control for a trillion dollar corporation. You cannot safely deliver hundreds of watts of power through one connector that only has a 10% safety margin and no load balancing to ensure that none of the cables get overloaded with current due to resistance. They had it right with 30 series then realized they could save a little money on each card and do planned obsolescence with a worse design. These are all facts stop denying reality.

>>105999841
but does the nitro+ have load balancing

>>105999841
I wonder why NVIDIA is selling the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell with the full 600W power limit if the board design is so unsafe?
It's safe enough for the consumer to be mass-produced.
Stop exaggerating the risks. The recently repaired 4090 in DerBauer's video used the older 12VHPWR connector that also had the riskier vBIOS that had a maximum voltage of 1.1V.
Revised RTX 40 cards (including Super) and all of the RTX 50 cards have a safer voltage limit of 1.075V.

>>105999871
It doesn't, the Taichi doesn't have it either.

>>105993392
Yeah the issue is minor and real but has been blown out of proportion by the lobotomite user base of Reddit. I’ve had one of these since launch day and the gel hasn’t moved one millimeter. They’re fucking fine.

>>105999889
>riskier vBIOS that had a maximum voltage of 1.1V.
But that's irrelevant since the problem isn't the core or vrms, and a 4090 running at 1.1v still pulls 20% less power than the 6000 pro or 5090

>>105993693
You will switch to Asus or something and then freak out when the next bad story about whichever AIB you went with comes out because every AIB is basically identical. Go with whichever one hasn’t screwed you yet.

>>105993766
I jumped from a 5900x to a 7950x and the performance wasnt worth all the struggle with unstable ram etc. Zen 4 > 5

>>105999909
I have the same experience as you. The far bigger issue that nobody other than igors talks about is that the paste gigabyte uses on the core of these gpus pumps out quickly. They should have gone with ptm7950 like asus and msi did.

>>105999944
when did you buy your 7950x? september 2022?

>>105999921
It's relevant enough for NVIDIA to set a lower maximum limit.
This change also applied to later regular RTX 40 series cards like the 4090 and 4080.

>>105999963
Its irrelevant in that it has no relation to melting connectors at all

>>105999949
Well my Gigabyte card is fine and temps are good but since I have so much PTM7950 left over from repasting my laptop, maybe I should repaste the GPU and show everyone how little difference it makes.

>>105999973
why has the 5090 had a significantly lower incidence rate of melting cables then

>>105999974
Just keep an eye out on throttling behavior by the time its 12-18 months old. It might need a repaste badly by then. Nvidia made it especially hard to check this gen by removing the hotspot sensor lol

>>105999994
I have an RX 9070 XT so I still got one. The card seems about as easy as last gen gigabyte cards to take apart (good but not great).

Checkem

>>105999992
Yes, and 5090s have an even higher core voltages than 4090s by running at 1.075v at stock unlockable up to 1.100v

>>105999973
You are retarded, a higher voltage limit allows the card to push higher boost clocks.
High boost clocks need to be fed with higher current (more calculations completed per second).
That makes 1.1V RTX cards riskier to run compared to ones with a 1.075V limit (assuming same 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 connector being used).

>>106000019
27W from that 0.025v difference clearly makes a world of difference

>>105990578
>Do you have an older PC or laptop laying around or do you mean buying one online? Either way, a laptop for a NAS sounds horrible.
i have them at home yeah, i have a few old laptops and PCs
and why is a laptop for NAS horrible?

>>106000044
It was enough to convince NVIDIA to set that lower limit to every single RTX 40 & 50 series card.

>>106000056
I can think of better ideas why they did it and its not to reduce the risk of melting connectors when in their minds, they have already solved it with the updated 12v-2x6 connector

>>106000066
>they have already solved it with the updated 12v-2x6 connector
It didn't solve anything watch the buildzoid and derbaurer video. There is no load balancing like 3090ti so even the smallest resistance will cause an uneven power draw through just a few or even one of the cables. Any 5090 that isn't undervolted to a safer power draw and sees regular use is going to be in the trash 5 years from now.

>>106000066
Well, you thought wrong. NVIDIA could've just updated the power connector and left the 1.1V limit on the 4090 as-is.
You're just downplaying the effects; most of the cards will be running at the maximum voltage limit since this is the stock behavior.

>>106000091
Like I said, according to nvidia they thought it was fixed
>>106000110
Wrong. All 4090s run at 1.05v at stock. The change only affected overclockers.

>>106000010
You’re a failure, anon.

remember me

https://www.dsogaming.com/articles/heres-what-happened-to-the-12vhpwr-power-cable-of-our-nvidia-rtx-4090-after-two-years-of-continuous-work/
Pic related is what the official connector that came with an RTX 4090 looks like after two years of regular use. Nice melted plastic, and this card draws 150 watts less then 5090. If you own a 5090 and don't undervolt you are at risk of cable failure and fire in the future it's as simple as that.

DerBauer already tested the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell, and there were no noticeable changes made to the PCB.
12V-2x6 is safe enough for a 600W workstation card, and it's safe enough to be used in higher-end RX 9070 XT cards.

No guarantees of reasonable pricing or availability of those Super cards.
The longer you wait to buy those Supers, the closer you get to the RTX 60 release date.

The earliest announcement (not launch) will be at CES 2026, Q1 launch but GL finding one.

>>106000536
5070 ti at MSRP is a reasonable purchase but the fake "5080" is literally a scam. People here and the whole tech media said it was bad and obviously a rugpull card since nvidia learned from the 4080 12gb debacle and realized they need to launch the worse fake one first, I don't feel that bad for anyone who was still dumb enough to purchase one regardless.

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/LBGDv4
Need your thoughts before i press buy button.
Gpu will be 5070 ti or 5080, depends which one i will get below msrp.

People hype the dlss transformer model upsaclaling from 1080p to 4k as being really good compared to quality mode for 1440p.
FSR4 is fine, but not as good as 5070 ti with transformer model + game support is much less for fsr 4.

In amd shoes I would probably look at 1440p 360hz qd oled monitors as the best average experience.

>>106000873
Ill stay with 9600x, ill upgrade to x3D when the final am5 cpu comes out.
Do i downgrade to 850w psu?

>>106000877
It depends on how much you're willing to adjust settings (including FSR4 quality) to hit your expected performance @ 4K.
You need to buy a monitor and try it out. Keep the box & packaging in case you want to return it.

>>106000914
>Do i downgrade to 850w psu?
850W is fine for either card + a high-end Ryzen CPU, even 750W would work for gaming.

>>106000946
Yes, 14700k, I've checked the pins and CPU and they look fine.
>>106000947
Mobo up to 7600, RAM is on qvl, CPU no, up to 5600 but I just assumed XMP though technically an overclock is a stable one.

>>106000936
Not all Intel 13/14th gen CPU's IMC can stably run those speeds.
Try dropping the speed to 6800MT/s and check for errors.
It sucks, but that's how it goes.

You can only blame Corsair if you're sure your CPU is good enough to run 7000~7200MT/s on your board, and if the memory module is producing errors @ standard JEDEC settings (4800 or 5600 @ 1.1V).

>>106000985
It's up to date
>>106000986
Funnily enough, there was, and I've been trying to get temps down so have been running lots of stress tests and really pushing it. Maybe heat fucked the memory controller.

>>106001024
You can set a lower power limit to your CPU, like 125W, if you're just memory stress testing.
It might take longer to catch errors since the CPU performance will be throttled.

oooh woe me I forgot to read the sticky.

>>106001333
Because it would have no real gaming benefit and increase the cost even higher. Most games don't use more then 8 cores max and since it's two ccds if you wanted to use all 16 cores the game would have to go between them both causing latency and stutter issues potentially. It's better to just have one ccd with the 3dvcache for gaymin. Zen 6 we will get 12 core chiplets with vcache.

>>106001333
Too expensive with no benefit due to how L3 works across multiple CCDs. Hint: it's not a single blob.

If they made the 9950X3D dual CCD it would easily sellout much more than the current one they released. Everyone was waiting for that.

They said there was no benefit and produced no proof of that

>>106001548

>>106001508
Fuck no I would rather get a 20 series card

>>106001548
>They said there was no benefit and produced no proof of that
Someone else already explained the cross-CCD latency penalty, and some shitty game engines proved it's bad to use both CCDs in latency-sensitive tasks.
A 7950X3D performs worse than a 12600K in Total War: Warhammer III because the engine's trying to use all available CPU threads.

AMD initially thought of releasing a 5950X3D with 2x CCDs with a 3D stacked chiplet; their internal tests showed the variant with 1x CCD was optimal for gaming.

Only stupid people who believe in any meme they wish to be true. I got a 9950X3D and guess what, I don't miss the VCache on the other CCD and neither do any games or applications.

LED monitors are worth the price increase honestly.

It's a fine card if people don't need CUDA or other NVIDIA exclusive features.
The gap is only narrowing in terms of gaming GPUs.
Rumors of the Super cards getting more VRAM are proof of this; NVIDIA's trying to come up with other reasons to charge more for their GeForce cards.

RTX 60 and UNDA1/RDNA5 are going to be very interesting.
NVIDIA can't continue to sell smaller mainstream chips if they want their cards to perform better than Radeon's.

>NVIDIA can't continue to sell smaller mainstream chips if they want their cards to perform better than Radeon's.
do they NEED to? I'm under impression they don't care about gaming anymore, it's evident in their decision to slash ram so AIshitters buy their professional cards or 5080-5090

>>106002300
GeForce's market position was about being the better/premium video card.
That branding doesn't make sense if the performance can't back it up.
It's why NVIDIA's aggressively pushing MFG and other DLSS stuff to reviewers.

>>106002322
you've missed the point: NVIDIA is AI hardware manufacturer now, not gaming hardware manufacturer
the latter is tiny compared to former in volume and profit
and they're doing great on that much larger market

>>105997190
Yeah. With Zen3, you're mainly concerned about IF speed and getting as many ranks of RAM in each channel.

>>106002272
9070xt has a worse featureset than release Ampere. Transformer (performant on even Turing btw) rapes fsr4. Even raw performance wise a 3090 or tuned 3080ti vs 9070xt wouldn't be that insane of a comparison.
>>106002277
>NVIDIA exclusive features.
The nvidia exclusive features make things like 4k at a high refresh rate viable on even this gens midrange card though, that sounds like something everyone "needs"

>>105999600

Why don't people just keep their Central AC™ thermostats at the same temperature the entire year?

>>106002344
You've missed the point.
Gaming/GeForce is a different business unit within NVIDIA.
These mainstream RTX cards can't justify the price premium since Radeon's been catching up on overall performance & features.
That's why the RTX 50 Super cards are rumored to get a VRAM capacity upgrade, they need to come up with other excuses to keep overcharging these cards.

>>106002062
Is this a mod?

I got something like this. But back in 2010 for $90. Best fucking investment ever.

>>106002386
NVIDIA will always have the most performant gaming card because products like the 5090 can be specced out of a workstation-grade GPU.
AMD doesn't have the professional/enterprise market share nor the CUDA ecosystem to justify designing those expensive GPUs.
But the 9070 XT shows AMD can put up a fight in the rest of the gaming GPU market
We'll see how NVIDIA reacts to that with the RTX 60.

>Gaming/GeForce is a different business unit within NVIDIA.
And its success is largely irrelevant to NVIDIA as a whole. So why are you talking about it like it's important to them? it's not. Not anymore.
>That's why the RTX 50 Super cards are rumored to get a VRAM capacity upgrade, they need to come up with other excuses to keep overcharging these cards.
They cut VRAM because they want to separate consumer and AIshit cards with insurmountable enough gap. 5000 SUPER would cost near workstation NVIDIA cards.

>>106002598
>So why are you talking about it like it's important to them?
Do you think NVIDIA's going to be okay with the mainstream UDNA/RDNA5 Radeon cards outperforming their GeForce equivalents?
The GeForce Super branding started to keep the 2070 series card ahead of the 5700XT, 2080 Super followed because the regular 2080 was performing too close to the 2070 Super.

Times have changed, but I don't think NVIDIA will just watch AMD take the mainstream gaming performance lead.

>>106002664
>Do you think NVIDIA's going to be okay with the mainstream UDNA/RDNA5 Radeon cards outperforming their GeForce equivalents?
FFS yes why wouldn't they? They're selling tens of millions of workstation GPU while on consumer market it's in few millions volume. Do you not understand how much AI datacenters are being built?

GeForce is still an important business for Jensen because it funded their AI business.
He talks about how GeForce enabled AI, and now the AI tech is improving GeForce.
I don't think NVIDIA's the kind of company where they're content with making second-best GPUs because they have a bigger breadwinner.

Blatant fanboy lying, this comparison shows in real time gameplay there is barely any difference and both provide good image quality. DLSS 3 was a blurry piece of shit and FSR 4 and DLSS 4 are both much better.

This is why I got a 9070xt. I would have gotten a 5070ti if it wasn't $200 more. The 5070 was out of the question because my 3060 already had 12gb in 2020. I still might return the 9070xt if the 5070tis has remotely acceptable pricing.
