fuark i want that sapphire nitro+ but it costs the same as a 5070ti

>buy 9800x3d for €400 from Amazon now
>precariously balance living expenses down to €300 left by the end of the month
>Amazon might take 1.5 months to deliver here anyway

>Or buy local stock for end of month paycheck
>Ryzen 7 7800X3D for €420
>i5 14600K for €250
>Ryzen 5 9600x for €240

So many choices, so little money...

>>106125981 (OP)
I think cpus are more important to overall video game performance than gpus for the majority of games. You'll get more returns from a high end cpu than you will from a high end gpu if all you do is game

>>106126077
do you really need anything more than a 9600x?

>>106126077
>>buy 9800x3d for €400 from Amazon now
cheaper than it is here

>>precariously balance living expenses down to €300 left by the end of the month
making life and death decisions to use the latest tech I see

time for you to eat nothing but oats salt and water for some months to buy that astral 5090

>>106126077
Just get a 12400f for pennies, maybe even buy used.

>>106126093
Proof?

>>106126093
real 1280x960 gaming hours

>>106126077
If you're hurting for money, the price difference between a ryzen 9600x and a 7600 is unjustifiable. €70 more for 5% extra fps.

>>106126139
Unless you're at 4k, modern gpus have kinda figured out 1440p. 1 percent lows and rendering physics in games makes more difference if you're like most people who don't play the latest and greatest games at 4k. How many games benefit substantially from a 5080 over a 5070? How many games benefit from a 9800x3d over a 7600? Not even to mention if you do anything outside of gaming the importance of a good gpu isn't even close

>>106126182
at 1440p you're still nowhere near close to being necked by cpu thoughbeit

>>106126193
It's not about bottlenecking at that point

>>106126193
incorrect, many games scale up with cpu-loads dramatically depending on whats happening.

Outpost Infinity Seige is almost unplayable at the final-end-game without a top-end cpu due to all the crazy physics calculations. UE5 games in general are both cpu and gpu heavy. Chart-autists like you do not see such things, data analytics only goes soo far, in gaming and irl.

1440p is a nexus point where the cpu is almost as important as the gpu if you want to game at a premium fps+fidelity level.

>>106126159
lets see you game on 960p at high fps in dwarf fortress with 2cat and a mediocre processor fag

>>106126077
>9800x3d for €400 from Amazon
huh?
where the fuck do you live?

>>106126102
9600x and 14600K are already a compromise, buying 6-core CPU in 2025 is a bit...you know
>>106126104
I'm going to buy my ration for 1 day tomorrow and see how much it costs me, maybe I could lose some more weigh!
>>106126121
14400F is 130 Euros new here, but it wouldn't last long I Imagine. I already bought 4070 Ti Super hence my tight budget currently
pairing it with 14400F would be a waste of GPU
>>106126164
20 euro difference between 7600 tray and 9600x box here, I'm hurting but not THAT much
>>106126335
Balkans, Amazon puts customs fee into price

Whats considered a good price for a used 4090 these days?

Got a second x870e motherboard due to a little delivery person shenanigans, pretty neat. Wish it happened to the 9950x3d I'm about to order. Still have to wait on the am5 bracket to come in from noctua to order the rest. GOODBYE INTEL!

>>106126394
they seem to be selling at about ~$2100 on ebay

>>106126394
1500 euros

>>106126013
its faster than 5070ti though and actually works the 5070ti has broken drivers on all major OS

>>106126013
lol you guys were making fun of the 4090 being big and now you are bout to suck off sapphire for a big card

>>106126077
order amazon, cancel it if it doesn't ship within a few days

Best brand for rtx 5060?

>>106126473
sapphire actually looks good

>>106126473
>making fun of the 4090 being big
only retards did that. triple digit IQ havers understand that big cards run cooler and quieter

>>106126462
biggest downside is it only available through scalpers here
i'm willing to pay but not sure the risks are worth it, if something happens to it i'm pretty much fucked

>>106126462
meanwhile in reality

>>106126503
>triple digit IQ havers understand that big cards run cooler and quieter
They also block damn near every PCIe slot

is the 5080s goint to be another 4080s where it it has no performance boost whatsoever and only more vram?
like the GB203 is fully unlocked right?
they could only put a gb202 on it with broken/disabled cores to get any performance gains right?

>>106125228
9070XT has 600W spikes.

>>106126565
5080 has a lot of OC headroom unlike the 4080 so the 5080S could be a lot faster if nvidia factory OCs it

>>106126539
since boards have nearly everything integrated already, its only a problem if you want you use multiple gpus, and there are blower cards made for that exact purpose

>>106126528
add xt/ti and amd still faster

>>106126600
>dx11 RT off

aight bitch time to holocaust my net worth

how big a difference in frames would you see going from a 5800x3d to a 9800x3d at 1440p?
have 360 hz oled and want to max it out

>>106126593
No boards have an integrated 40gb network card
Boards hardly have even 10G networking which should be basic on any $300+ board but is not

I would get into the weeds of Non-M.2 form factor NVMe drives but no one here can even comprehend the idea those exist.

>>106126637
30 to 60%

>>106126646
10G is easy to fit into any board with a free gen4 x1 connection
40G could technically fit in the couple of boards with a free gen4 x4 connection

U.2. drives can be connected using a m.2. or miniSAS adapter

> ASUS M4A785T-M
> got 2 sets of different brands RAM
Should I use same sticks per channel or two different brand sticks per channel?

both of my PCs got selected for this month's steam hardware survey so i guess its my lucky month
that is all

>>106126683
It's more about the way things are going, you won't even have those slots.

>>106126741
you may be right
the south bridge makes less and less sense with each passing generation with cpu direct lanes taking over basic functionality

>>106126736
same per
>>106126496
none, at least wait for the super or whatever they'll do to give it more vram than a 1070 from 10 fucking years ago

>>106126737
and the survey is flawed anyways because if you have a ryzen cpu (igpu) it includes that result instead of your xt or rtx

>>106126772
Nah, the southbridge is more important now than it was.
Most of the "increase" in PCIe lanes in modern motherboards are from the chipset.

Although it hardly feels like there has been an increase with everything going to M.2 or MB vendors just squandering it.

>>106126945
Bullshit.

>>106126945
it didn't happen on the first pc
i didn't check the second but its an intel cpu so it prolly detected fine

I was pulling my hair trying to pick a B850 card because I convinced myself I need pcie 5
but B650 has much better options and only thing i lose is pcie 5
and 5060 ti doesn't even benefit from it

>>106127821
why not a b650e?

why

>>106127833
they costs the same as b850
that's my main problem
shit is expensive, costs more than 9600x I want to buy

>>106127861
If you really wanted to save money you could just get a b850 and a 7500F. Youre gonna get an x3d cpu later down the line anyway

>>106126741
I just want a board with 6 pcie slots and no integrated wifi. My $80 asrock b450 has this. Why are boards so expensive and give you so little? I don't want integrated wifi I want a card that I can change or upgrade.

A dude brought me this for €300. i5-12600K on GIGABYTE B660 AORUS Master DDR4. It has audio that I wanted (ALC1220), PCIe 4.0, 3x M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4, 4 SATA. Basically everything that I needed. Maybe will update to Bartlett Lake-S when it comes out.

I'm buying new PSU & cooler tomorrow, plugging my 4070 Ti Super and GAMING! Probably eating oats by the end of month but oh well.

I'm so glad I went with 5070 Ti. Path tracing looks fucking amazing.

>>106127201

It's a VERY old city in Europe (building next to me was built in 1450 or something like that) and the area has seen a lot of new construction in the last decade or so. People at the end of the local grid were getting brownouts so the geniuses at the power company simply upped the voltage, and since I'm right next to the substation I get fucked with full force. It's technically legal (within a few volts) and the vast majority of appliances handle it just fine, but PSUs for some reason don't (I tried 3 top models from different brands and they all fail at least once during a 24h test).
>>106127482
>what kind of internet do you have?
2.5Gbit (both up and down) for the equivalent of 20 dollars. Too bad I can't do much with it (I thought about getting a server but it would probably have the same issue).

I haven't owned a gaming desktop since 2006, I am now in my mid 30s with children, I want to buy myself a decent desktop for light gaming, phot / video editing and general use

I have about 4300 CAD which is about 3115 USD

I don't want to spend an atrocious amount of money. are any prebuilt still good? or is it still just cheaper to part it out individually?

Also if they are any recommendations on something cheap and reasonable for my kids to stream / game on?

been out of the loop 20 years but I still have electrical engineering schooling, not so much electronics but more than average.

I'm thinking about buying an AMD 9960X.
My most common usecase is programming, especially compiling C++
Other than that I use some Adobe stuff, I don't play many games currently.

>>106129155
NTA but looking back on last thread you seem confused as to why people are jumping to OLED in strides.
Truth is OLED is a very good deal.
4k 240hz was basically unobtainium a few years ago. Talking upwards of $2500+
OLED has cut that price in half and the panels are better performing in everything but brightness.
The $1200-1500 for a top end monitor just seems to be that range where more people are willing to buy. Even without a 5090.

Upscaling has also really made it more attractive to buy more monitor than you reasonably drive natively. Older games are also trivial to run at high resolutions/refresh rate.

I guess it is confusing why suddenly everyone wants a high end monitor and it is because they are more affordable than they have been. LG and Samsung really did a number in the relatively stagnant PC monitor market where the high end wasn't even talked about because pricing was so retarded.

> Upscaling has also really made it more attractive to buy more monitor than you reasonably drive natively. Older games are also trivial to run at high resolutions/refresh rate.
I don't really understand what you're talking about. I already have a 2k monitor.
What do you mean by "more monitor"?

> The $1200-1500 for a top end monitor just seems to be that range where more people are willing to buy
You know, it's still expensive, and there are no such prices in my country, it's probably closer to $2500-3000.
I have LG 27GP850-B with 4080.

If I had bought an OLED monitor, then according to the balance of the buld, I would have to buy not 7800x3d and RTX4080, but 7500 and 4060.
I think it's stupid. That's what I'm asking. People do that.

Something wrong with that paste

>>106129515
Not him but anyone who still plays on a TN panel where everything just looks shit-grey makes me laugh. OLED is a bigger upgrade than any graphics card

?

>>106129515
>I don't really understand what you're talking about
All I was saying is that even if you can't run games at 4k 240hz for example, upscaling tech like DLSS can make games that don't perform as well do better on a higher end screen.
>What do you mean by "more monitor"?
I'm guessing your not western or ESL
To say more of anything can mean just higher end. It's just a weird informal way if saying things.
Getting a higher end GPU means your getting more GPU
Getting a car with more horsepower means your getting more car
Etc
>If I had bought an OLED monitor, then according to the balance of the buld, I would have to buy not 7800x3d and RTX4080, but 7500 and 4060.
I think it's stupid. That's what I'm asking. People do that.
This is a US centric website so things are going to be from that perspective most if the time.
If an OLED has an insane price in your country then it probably doesn't make sense in anyway
I know some people have mentioned that OLEDs are more expensive even relative to the general high prices you get in most countries outside the US.

When these cards launched, there was a huge demand at the local MicroCenter. So I ended up with an XFX Quicksilver Magnetic Air. Those are big cards.

I need a Wi-Fi adapter. Can I get the latest Wi-Fi 7 M.2 adapter for my B650? Also, there are a million brands for these. Any recommendations? Preferably in this format, and not PCIE.

Are fast cores pretty much always better than moar cores for the money? Are there any used generations-old Xeon/Epyc chips with a gazillion cores that would beat just buying a brand new 9950X/14900K in the $400-500 price range for things like general home usage/multitasking and video editing/encoding?

The naming is horrible; usually you'll see the original as 12vhpwr, and the revision as 12v-6x2.
This card uses the latter. Slightly longer power & ground pins, slightly shorter sense pins.

In any case, it's not really an issue with this card. Both from the alternate cable routing (allows a more gentle bend), and the ~330W rating.
I find I much prefer using only the lower cable in the pic vs that 3x 8 pin adapter up top.

>>106129893
I switched from the adapter to a 12V-2x6 cable on my GPU and it significantly reduced the coil whine.

>need a vertical monitor to use for my new work laptop

I tried it at Microcenter. Looks like the size I need. And good resolution. Should I go ahead and buy it?

I also saw one for $80 on Ebay used, too.

>Also, there are a million brands for these. Any recommendations? Preferably in this format, and not PCIE.
Eh, it's sort of like buying a SATA or USB expansion card where it's all the same shit under the hood. Just get one that has a lot of good reviews on Amazon (that way you can just return it if it were a dud). The import part is if you aren't gonna get a PCIe adapter and use a M.2 one instead to make sure the one you are buying matches the keying your mobo's open M.2 slot expansion slot supports (B, M or B+M, and/or E+A). Mobo OEMs have tried to standardized keying support for all shapes but double check it.

>>106129643
> To say more of anything can mean just higher end.
I know that.

I don't understand in the sense that I already have a 2k monitor, I can only switch to OLED. You meant a situation where someone has a weak GPU and a 1080 monitor, they can buy a new 2k monitor to play with upscaling, which is reasonable. But when you already have a 2k monitor, it's kind of weird to talk about more monitor.

It's essentially a brighter cheaper AOC Q27G40XMN with a bit worse EOTF tracking.

no other youtuber even made this retarded comparison

>>106130035
Good

>>106129943
I've had two of those monitors since 2020 maybe? They've been good for me.

Hindsight, if I had known how my setup would evolve, I would have picked up the similar model with the C (vs the Q) in the name. Those support DisplayPort chaining.
I have a different use case though, and I'm using a graphics card that only has 2x DP.

>>106127902
MSI going all in on nvidia was the best move they ever made

>>106129943
What about buying a cheaper/larger normal monitor putting it on a $10-15 monitor arm and running it in portrait mode?

>>106129269
I'd suggest you look at building a 9800X3D and 5060ti 16GB OR 9060XT 16GB build and not worrying about computer shit again for at least 5-10 years.
Prebuilts are still terrible, even worse now that zoomers buy them from influencers.
Top tier GPUs are ungodly expensive

Really the meta is either built that shit for your kids and buy yourself a steam deck/ROG Ally or buy them the Ally and get yourself the desktop.

I don't have any experience with anything from the Apple ecosystem.

But since you have a MicroCenter nearby, if you get something and it doesn't work with your setup (for any reason), you can return it/exchange it & they'll sell it as open box.

>>106130271
You can get the KTC Q24T09 which is also a 24" IPS but with a higher 2560x1440@180Hz resolution instead so the efffective increase in pixel density will drastically improve image sharpness/text clarity (plus the vertical resolution increase from 1200 to 2560px in portrait mode)
New is $145: https://www.newegg.com/p/3D4-007C-00036
Open box for $80: https://www.ebay.com/itm/306421557157
Combine it with many 100x100mm VESA mounting arm for full adjustment/tilt//rotation like this one:

There are 27" 1440p IPS models for about the same price too.

I watch all of HUBs content and trust it precisely because the shills in this thread are on such a relentless campaign to slander him, same thing with MLID. Whatever tech channels the njudea shills in this thread say are "biased" are the best ones you wanna be watching.

is a plain 27" 4K IPS for like this one ~$160:

These sorts of panels also go for $130 refurb/open box on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/326471817182?LH_BIN=1
Even with VESA mounting the sucker for portrait mode operation you'd have 2160px of vertical resolution and crammed into 27' panel @ 163 PPI it'll be sharper than the Asus ProArt PA248QV @ only 94 PPI you were considering in >>106129943 and a bit cheaper too.

What this is?

>>106130872
The 4090 coil whine issues (from what I've heard) were so funny. I was feeling good, just got a new job, prepared to splurge on whatever the best 4090 model was. But after researching it, it seemed the Gigabyte Gaming OC supposedly had the lowest chance of coil whine, despite being one of the cheapest models. So after spending a while staring at models priced over $2,000, spending $1,700 (roughly the price of my last PC) on a GPU actually didn't seem too bad.
I'm bad at storytelling, it was funny to me though.

Because for some reason everyone believes the story that AIBs are just poor sods working diligently to bring you GPUs and prices are just what they are because of "realities" like, tariffs, inflation, COVID, Nvidia, the planets not being aligned, disturbances in the astral plane or whatever excuses people conjure up to excuse pricing.

For AIBs to lower prices implies prices aren't just a market reality but something the manufacturer's set, or if your a true believer in the market, lower prices mean AIBs miss out even more which is a bad thing.

>>106131909

Check out /r/bapcsalescanada and /r/bapccanada, you can typically get a good bundle of a CPU, mobo, and RAM from Canada Computers or Memory Express. With your budget you can get a 9800x3D (top of the line for gaming) and a top graphics card, either the best 5090, slightly lower 5070ti, or 9070xt. Prebuilts suck, if you don't want to build it yourself you can buy the parts and have it put together for like $100/$200 ish.

The issue I'm having is I would like slightly better temperature on my BCM - this is all connected to a Gigabyte MC13-LE3.
This isn't critical, but I wouldn't mind a little more noise for better performance, but something as beefy as a single 3-pin Noctua NF-F12 iPPC-2000 pointed at the mobo/bcm generates enough noise that I can hear it anywhere in my small apartment. So effectively, I'm looking for something in the middle between the group of fans I have an the aforementioned industrial noctua fan.

>>106132935
frankly the inefficient 5950x + 600w poorfag psu is a noob-trap in and of itself, he could have power instability out the arse with voltage fluctuations if he upgrades. A psu thats at least 850w would be a smarter upgrade alongside everything else.

>>106132905
At that low of refresh rate you'll actually get better motion performance from swapping your gaming display to an OLED (keep the 32U for static content) because the 0 ms response time transitions clear each frame refresh cycle disproportionate faster (also better contrast/colors for Yakuza/FF immersion). See your monitor vs. equivalent OLED Heatmaps in picrel and here:
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/msi-mpg-322urx-qd-oled-vs-gigabyte-m32u/84697/27393#test_1435
Even @ 60Hz/120Hz frame caps you would be going from 6-13 ms of total response time to under 1 ms because baseline OLED motion does not get worse at the framerate lowers.

I'd suggest put your money into that over a new GPU for a more meaningful gaming experience upgrade.
Also the Super refresh of the 5000 series is due out in a few months anyway with much higher VRAM anyway which would be helpful @ 4K in the long run making currently GPUs an unattractive upgrade path IMO.

Can I throw in my old gpu to use for my second monitor or is that not worth it?

>>106132445
Any thoughts? feelings? Prayers?

>>106133184
Most of GPUs won't even support that.

That's really hard to do and in most cases impossible.
Basically, the only way you can do in it nowadays with AMD GPU inside AMD CPU.

It was SLI by 3dfx and crossfire by AMD that allowed that.

Do mice with 4k/8k polling rate matter that much over the standard 1k polling rate?
I figure 4k might make some difference vs 1k but then 8k vs 4k is esports placebo but maybe it's all placebo

Made this build for relative, who is graphical designer. She uses Photoshop most of the time.

>>106133002
thats why i bought a 1000w psu for my upgrade, i don't need 1000w at all, but who knows what kind of stuff i will be upgrading to in 5yrs time, and i don't want to spend more money on a psu again if so.

>>106133265
I have an 5700x and 6700xt currently, would like to throw in my rx580 for my second monitor. So would that work?

>>106133278
overkill wattage for a gold rated psu

>>106133278
that's an extreme power supply for that build

>>106133278
post it in english jesus christ faggot.

Also the 1200w psu is ridiculous. Thats for a 5080/5090/4090 only build. 1000w is fine at the max limit for anything else. Also i have no idea how many gigs your ram sticks have, but you'll probably want 64gigs.

>>106133285
no. Just plug the second monitor into your 6700xt gpu. Why do you think you need a second gpu to begin with? thats a second set of graphical drivers + display drivers required if your concept where to be reality, which would be insanely inefficient and unstable.

>>106133313
Wouldn't it be less taxing for gaming if I am gaming on one GPU and browsing/watching something on another?

My new build keeps tripping the breaker every time I try to boot to install OS. It's just a 1000watt psu, and there's hardly anything on the circuit. I'm crying.

What can a 9800x3d and a 5070 ti do productivity wise? I want to convince myself this build can do more than have fun gaming

>>106133289
PSU should be 10% of the total build cost creeps.
>>106133278
Hy хз, glory to Ukraine.
>>106133305
I could do better job for the money.

>>106133326
no, i just explained that that would be insanely inefficient and unstable. Rephrasing your question doesnt change the answer anon. Gpus are DESIGNED to handle multi-monitor setups, you don't need to do anything crazy to get it to work, its been well over a decade+ since normal retail gpus have been perfectly capable of multi-monitor activities.

>>106132979
A 5080 will be $1500 after tax and still 16gb on a card that was supposed to launch with 24gb

>>106133330
Yeah and my computer at start makes noises for 5 minutes, stupid fan, but wich one. Hope i will avoid another DRILLING procedure for lubricating.

>>106133330
The PSU doesn't draw 1000W from the wall at all times. Your problem could be even worse than that and might need an electrician to check it. Try removing the GPU and see if it will boot, assuming you have an iGPU. Whole house breaker trips immediately after startup or only after a time?

>>106133444
Yeah, I sort of figured it wasn't pretty. Bad PSU seems likely as it trips more than just one circuit. Will probably try the GPU removal bit tomorrow, tired of lugging it back and forth between the work table and desk. Just want to cry at this point.
And it doesn't trip on startup, it trips when trying to boot from a kubuntu boot drive. Bios loads up and everything looks normal. I'm gonna borrow one of them things that measures wattage from a friend's father and test it when they're available.

>>106133463
Actually... It couldn't be the boot drive for some stupid reasoning could it?

>>106133330
Buy a 30 amp breaker and replace that gay 15 or 20 amp one that's tripping.

>>106133333
Goon genning

>>106133470
lol also a potential option. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a nuisance trip story.

>>106133482
I had a shitty breaker that kept popping when the ac would come on, on its own different fucking circuit. I just replaced my computer room circuit one from 15amp to 30 and haven't had a problem since.

>>106133463
Unlikely that it is from turning on a drive.

What is the voltage rating of your PSU and what does your house use? Most modern PSUs should work with the typical 120-230V range though.

>>106133506
Yeah, but would it really happen for two different circuits? In all fairness they're both 15amp, but that should still handle a 1000watt PSU with a part power draw of only 635watts, right? both of them can't possibly be THAT shitty.

>>106133515
120volts on 15 amp switches. Hardly anything else running on them either, and tested two separate ones.

>>106133470
This move can cost him fried computer component right?

>>106133515
Breakers are about amps not voltage. It's total current that trips them.

>>106133521
Thats only like 5 amps, the breaker might just be a piece of shit. Just replace it and thank me later

>>106133536
If lightning strikes a breaker won't save you. That's the only time I see peoples electronics go out and I have worked helpdesk for isps across the country for like 18 months. I have never heard of a power surge from the electric company actually killing anything, only lightning struck my house and my electronics exploded and there are scortch marks on my outlet.

>>106133265
hybrid graphics is a windows 11 feature
you can plug your secondary monitor into an amd igpu and let the nvidia gpu be used only for the main monitor

Is 32 gigs or ram enough for gaming or should I get 64?

>>106133285
>>106133326
people normally do what you're thinking of on an igpu to let the main dgpu downclock and save power.
but the way you're thinking of doing it makes this moot since the rx580 uses a lot of power on its own

>>106133549
Is that even advisable? If something is tripping it's tripping for a reason. Is it that common that a switch is just shit?

>>106133563
I mean if something in psu is shorting bigger amp breaker will allow to burn out a bit more, but i doubt or he dropped his psu or hit it or maybe there a screw haha.ha
>>106133583
Maybe short spike of something not sounding good. 120 * 15 = 1800 watts.

>>106133583
A breaker tripping at 5 amps and rated at 15 is probably a bad breaker. Assuming a 1000 watt psu, that's like 8 amps max. And a breaker is like $10 while a new psu is $120. Try the breaker first.

>>106133656
>>106133605
Yeah, I'm gonna test what wattage it's pulling on startup when I get the right equipment to do so, and then we'll see if it's the PSU or shitty breaker.
>$120
Twice that for me sadly. Could probably return it if it's bad. Surely going to fight newegg on it if they tell me no.

>>106133676
not op but ive never seen a computer switch a breaker I really doubt that would be it

>>106133682
I hope you are right because I want cheaper NVidia cards

>>106133682
I just hope they can continue to take up more market share and force nvidia to be more competitive

>>106133563
>>106133605
after the occasional random micro-blackout in my house every other months for years, i had unrelated electrial work done on installing a new powerpoint outside+lighting, the electrician informed me that the fuse box had a couple of loose screws stuck behind it that were shorting-risks and that he'd removed them, lazy builders. I stopped getting the power spikes and shorts afterwards.

It does make a difference yes but it's not worth it unless you're a high level fps player. Although most good mice being sold now support those rates anyways

when the FUCK are we getting smooth motion for the 4000 series.

The cheapest version of the 9070 XT is $960 CAD. For comparison's sake that would be $700 USD. Still $100 over MSRP but still $100 less than the cheapest 5070 Ti so.....I guess I'll get it.

>>106134174
anon I paid $800 CAD for a used 4090 just keep on eye on kijiji and the local fb market unless you need it right away.

>>106134064
what did you upgrade from?

>>106134142
That's already a deprecated generation lil bro

>>106134142
590 driver branch apparently

Apparently, I have an unopened Amazon box that I had for so long hiding in my closet, checked inside and found a Silverstone 1200r PSU that I apparently ordered in 2023. Any fun build? My current is a 6900xt 5800x, i play on 1440p.

For 800 USD, is it possible to do better than this for 1080p gaming?

So...
In the light of microshart dropping support for win10 soon, is 9070 xt is the only good choice for loonix?
Not to mention 9070 ti is almost 200$ pricier in my country
In other words, is this enough cope for going AMD?

>>106134397

>>106134064
>>106134222
maybe its from this

What is the general opinion on RTX 5090s? Now that they're mostly available, I'm considering buying one. Do I need a model priced at over $3000, such as the ROG Strix, or are models priced at around $2400, such as the TUF or Ventus, "good enough"?

>>106134625
>ROG Strix
*ROG Astral

>>106134625
You either get an MSRP model like the FE or spring for the Asus astral/astral LC for per-pin current monitoring, no in-betweens.

Im looking for good cases that have many preinstalled fans. Any recommendations? I really like Antec but their cases usually are without fans

>>106134625
My personal review is that the 5090 is just a bigger 4090 that runs faster and uses proportionally more power, at about 33% more power for 35% more performance.
Because its usually power limited, it also doesn't undervolt as well as the 4090 so forget about undervolting and be prepared to build around its 600W power draw if you want stock 5090 performance.
Also, the drivers are fine and I haven't ran into any annoying bugs so far.
>Do I need a model
FE is the cheapest, MSI Suprim has the best noise/cooling and ASUS Astral is the most differentiated with 12vhpwr pin monitoring so I'd recommend choosing from any one of those models. I personally have the Astral and I'd say the 4th back fan is annoyingly loud but it can be worked around with a software fan curve in msi afterburner.

>>106134672
>Astral and I'd say the 4th back fan is annoyingly loud but it can be worked around with a software fan curve in msi afterburner.
Another workaround is to just switch to the secondary quiet bios. It has a far saner fan curve than the default performance bios

How can I enjoy 4k gaming without buying a 5090??

My thinking is that it will save a lot of time over the years compiling. Multi file compiles in C++ scale almost linearily to a certain point and the 8 cores are still 50% more compared to the 16 of the 9950X
But it really is between the 9950X and 9960X for me, I think for my usecase it's close.
