RTX 5060 Ti: Both memory configs cost more than 9060 XT 16GB for the same performance and half the PCIe lanes. Only buy if you need cuda or value GeForce features that highly.
RTX 5070 Ti: buy if you need CUDA, if you value DLSS/Reflex that highly, and if the 5060 Ti 16GB or 5070 isn't performant enough.
RTX 5070: buy if it's reasonably priced & if you plan to work around potential VRAM bottlenecks.
RX 9070 non-XT: worth considering if it's significantly cheaper than the 9070 XT.
Intel 13 & 14th gen i7/9 -K CPUs: BIOS update required due to reliability issues. Recommended to set a CPU VR voltage limit (1.4 or 1.45V).

I want a real answer from people who actually have a 4090. Is it worth it? Have a 7900gre and I can play most of my games with no issues, but there are a few that I have no chance of pushing to 120 4k so Ive been thinking of getting a used 4090. How worth is it realistically besides just bragging rights?

>>106141256
Not worth the premium in the used market atm.
You need to rely on (M)FG for the highest 4K settings, and they're imperfect solutions.

https://www.dsogaming.com/articles/heres-what-happened-to-the-12vhpwr-power-cable-of-our-nvidia-rtx-4090-after-two-years-of-continuous-work/
Definitely not worth paying $1000+ for a used card that depending on how much use it's seen could very likely have a degraded even if the melting is only cosmetic so far connector. Just waitfag however long it takes to buy a 9070 XT as close to MSRP as you can then sell the 7900gre to cover probably at least half the cost of the upgrade, you'll get a bit of raw performance uplift 25 to 30 percent and be able to use FSR 4 in 90 percent of games either natively or via optiscaler to push higher fps at 4k.

>>106141376
They're fine quality-wise, but they have an expensive premium.

OH LOOK AT THAT

THE CPU YOU FAGGOTS ALL SAID "AMD HAS NO REASON TO LAUNCH" "NO GAINS FROM IT AMD SAID SO" "WELL ACKSUALLY I LOVE CORE PARKING" IS LAUNCHING AFTER ALL

WAITGODS WE WON

>>106141595
so, we are getting a 9999x2x3d chips?

>>106141595
Cucked with 16 slower cores
lmao, chudies will pay for lower performance

>>106141595
>"WELL ACKSUALLY I LOVE CORE PARKING"
Most games will still have to utilize one CCX due to cross-CCD latency.
That cross-CCD latency causes massive performance penalties, where you can see a 9950X performing worse than a 5600X or a 12600K.

>>106141683
i thought the 9950x3d fixed that?

>>106141595
>>106141675
Yeah the dual X3D chip will be clocked lower. it only makes sense for niche applications where both ccds need it (WoW private servers)

>>106141718
They've managed to reduce cross-cluster latency closer to the previous gen values, but you can't eliminate it.
https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-microcode-improves-cross-ccd-latency-on-ryzen-9000-cpus-ryzen-9-9900x-and-ryzen-9-9950x-cross-ccd-latency-cut-in-half-to-match-previous-gen-models

>>106141718
It depends on the OS scheduler.
On linux you can configure the scheduler to prioritize the faster cores and you can tell it to use only x3d cores when gaming

>>106141595
>WAITGODS WE WON
>*RETARDS THAT DONT UNDERSTAND COMPUTERS WE WON
FTFY, enjoy the stutters everytime the game switches to using a core on a different ccd. AMD is only considering this because retards that don't understand how chiplets work will just buy it because they think more always equals better. Smart wait Chad's are holding out for zen6 and a 12 cores on one ccd x3d cpu. That will last probably 10 years.

>>106141200 (OP)
I've spent a few hours looking into this now and it doesn't look like there's an easy way to get greater than 60hz via docking station through HDMI at 1440p. Theyre all marketed as 4k @ 60hz so youd think 2k should be able to get better refresh, but every dock I've checked maxes out at 60hz. Looked into USB C to HDMI adapters and user manual specifically noted that that will cap things at 60hz. Frustrated as it seems these docks should be capable of so much more, even limited to HDMI, but what do I know

>>106142438
It's a rumored new Ryzen 9000 CPU with both compute chiplets having 3D-VCache.
9950X3D has one CCX (single-stack 3D VCache) and one regular CCD.

>>106142438
It's not dual CPU it's dual X3D. You can say the current 9950X3D is divided in half and has 3D cache on one half only. For games and shit you want to make sure your OS isn't scheduling threads to the half of the cores that don't have the 3D cache. The rumored dual X3D wouldn't have this problem.

>>106142650
I thought amd didnt do dual x3d because it cant be utilized in games so its 100% waste

My pc is just prepetually stuck in a repair boot loop
I have a gigabyte auros b650 motherboard
What happen is that it says repairing automatic repair > diagnosing your PC and the I get to this screen

I just built this pc like a year ago and purchased the parts at the recommendations of some anons here and On the off chance that someone knows how to fix this I came back

>>106142667
That's what was assumed in the past. Either they want more money from suckers or they magically fixed the latency issue.

>>106142741
Not worth trying to fix that type of shit. Just make sure your backups are up to date, then wipe the boot drive and reinstall Windows.

>>106142741
What's your memory kit's speed? It might be causing instabilities if it's faster than 6000MT/s.
Go to the board BIOS and disable EXPO. If it's caused by the DRAM, you will have to reinstall the OS.
You can set the manual speed afterwards to 6000MT/s and some simple primary timing like 30 tCAS, 40 tRCD, and 40 tRP.
You can leave tRAS & voltages on [Auto].

This is a likely issue if the BIOS is automatically trying to run 6400MT/s in 1:1 MEMCLK:UCLK, but most boards drop down to 1:2 mode for stability.

>>106142824
Strix Halo fixed the latency right?

>>106142824
I thought the "fix" was making larger ccd, like 12-16 cores and have 1 set of 3xd on top of that

gotta wait for benchmarks to see if the 1ccd cpu falls behind the 2 ccd chips I suppose

>>106142126
I have a leap 2 before it was discontinued or something. Pretty comfortable but I'm considering getting the embody to accomodate the lengthy times my ass sits in this spot for work and then 'play'.

I see people still complaining about core parking in general.

Sup, /g/ents
Is anyone here familiar with RMA processes? Is it common for the manufacturer/support/store/whatever to ask destruction/rendering useless the faulty part at hand, before shipping in another one? Specifically, clipping cords in both ends

>>106143570
What I said isn't core parking, core parking is the automatic driver thing that tries to be clever about it.

>>106143582
Some have a policy to ask you to destroy the cord, others don't. I actually had one ask me to destroy the core for a wireless mouse. I asked them if they were serious and they said yes.

heterogenous CPUs was a mistake
core parking was a mistake
big.LITTLE was a mistake
making schedulers figure out all this this crap was a mistake

Benchmarking the Total War engine is a waste of everyone's time; it's not well-maintained.
Creative Assembly's been faking "in-game footage" previews with scripted battles, then the programmers had to find a way to replicate that footage within the archaic engine's limitations.

https://medium.com/@julianmckinlay/total-war-rome-ii-and-creative-assembly-my-statement-ten-years-on-d964f65b0a8f

>>106143640
That's fair enough, benchmarking everything at default settings for their charts. Still if you can flip a setting or 2 and solve a major performance issue I feel like they should be looking into that and mentioning it as an aside at the very least.

>>106144267
They have to lower the prices so people don't feel as cucked when the actual 5000 series comes out. Imagine spendong $1500 on a 16gb 5080 and then having the 24gb 5070ti come out like 5 months later. Samsung circumcised these cards with 2gb modules and that's why they were dogshit at launch and the 5070 is BARELY better than a 4070 super.

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.

>>106144617
Is this a 32 inch screen?

I picked up an RX 580 because my VEGA 64 started failing. VEGA was just having a temper tantrum; apparently, it now works just fine. But I think part of the issue is that the design of the card lets it cook itself to death after about an hour or so of heavy use. So does anyone know a good screwdriver set for swapping the heatsink and fans from the cards? I have access to some that are the right size and head, but are long as fuck and not made for this kind of work.

Moar VRAM isn't really going to make the cards run any faster, unless they were heavily VRAM starved which isn't really the case with 16GB cards and in most situations. They're just going to run about the same but have more VRAM, which I guess the AI ERP enthusiasts will paint the ceiling white over, or something.

>>106144856
5080 super will come with faster 34gbps vram and be factory OCd to be at least 5-10% faster

>>106144937
You can probably get that epin 5% by dragging sliders yourself, it's effectively fucking nothing.

>>106144959
most people never OC so the 5080S 24gb will be faster than their "old" 5080 16gb and hopefully not cost the same or they will kys themselves

>>106144711
Noctua NT-H2, Arctic MX-6, and Thermal Grizzly Duronaut if you want a paste that pumps out less and is designed with longevity in mind.
PTM 7950 or other good phase-change materials if you want an even longer-lasting TIM. This is good for GPUs or laptops.

Gonna reuse the Fuma 2 I have. Hoping I can shave off $250 or so from total waiting for sales. 5080 is placeholder until super comes out.
Thought about a used 4090 but since they do melt themselves its riskier than usual.
Also might go with 9800X3D instead.

>>106145205
Looks fine for gaming, I would use an AIO for the 9950X3D if you're using all those cores in productivity apps.

>>106145035
You act like a graphics card is some sort of investment. You buy one to play video games. If you've been playing video games on yours for half a year and then a new model comes out that's 5% faster, but your card is still performing as it always did and playing your games, you're not going to give a single fuck.

Now if you're an AIfag and bought a 16GB card instead of 24GB for the same price then you may experience some buttfrustration over the VRAM.

>>106145205
4090 would be a way better buy than a 5080 if you can find one in good condition. It's faster and already comes with more VRAM.

>>106144711
Most coolers come packaged with paste, a guarantee if the manufacturer has their own brand. You just use that. Spending money on "better" paste is an even worse value-perf proposition than replacing your fans with Noctuas.

You're acting as if the exact same scenario didn't play out last gen
It already happened with the 4070ti and from what I'm seeing, 4070ti bag holders have to be content with getting slightly better than 4070S prices while the 4070ti super owners are eating good

Imagine being a company that makes silver-included paste that is barely better than tooth cleaner.

how do we cope with the absolute state of display technology?

Well, my 4080 Super is dying after two years, I have to underclock it so it's mostly stable. I ordered a 5080, it's on the way. I was trying to hold out for the 5080 Super. At least the prices have came down. I'm sure that when the 5080 Super does come out around Christmas it'll be $1500+ anyway, that is if it's not sold out in minutes.

>>106145503
well we anime consumers buy Va minileds for static content with nice image quality, and oled tvs/monitors when the income levels reach >1000€ a month which ensures ability to re-buy a display after it burns in in 3-5 years

>>106145503
There's nothing to cope about. The industry was garbage just 6 years ago before we had affordable oled displays that could do hdr10 true black

>>106145508
Don't these come with a 3 year warranty?

>>106145531
I'm sure my overclocking would void that either way. The real bummer is that I won't be able to resell it because I'm not going to scam someone with a dying card.

linux has better performance but have a higher chance of compatibility problems

I'm debating between 32 gigs and 64 gigs of ram. Surely games can't slurp more than 32 gigs right?

>>106146029
32 is fine for gayming

>>106146029
A single game won't, but the bloatware, launchers, and open browser might. 64 is a lot. It's hard to imagine needing more than 32 unless you're multitasking with 100+ tabs.

>>106146029
windows slurps 10gb+ easily and will continue to get more bloated

>>106145871
>>106145962
Also, older Windows programs are getting increasingly worse compatibility with 10/11, so Linux compatibility has surpassed Windows in that niche.

is acer gud for gpus
pic rel is 730 bucks

>>106146029
You can't judge the readout on the RAM, it may not be accurate to how much is actually needed at a given time. Some of it is just holding prior data to be garbage'd in time. The only people who need 64+ are productivity prosumers who already definitively know the answer to their question, or people who don't close their tabs for whatever reason.

How do you people even do that? I close a tab once I'm done with it, I close the window when I'm done with it. I'm not going back and forth through miles of tabs, neither for work nor leisure.

>>106146248
if you dont get 64gb ddr5 for local llm what are you even doing

>>106145542
They don't actually check for overclocking. What matters is that it doesn't have any physical damage and in some countries, still has the original deal on the screw. Try requesting an RMA, no harm in trying. Best case, your 4080 gets replaced with a 5080 due to lack of 4080Supers in stock

What a hot take lol

>>106146803
Lancool 207. It's also easily the best-value case besides.

>>106146834
There is precisely one good looking case with wood accents and it came out on the ass end of the trend.

>>106146741
Wood jammed into metal frames looked bad. It was the standard during that very brief fad period and so a lot of cases ended up looking bad. Big metal, plastic and glass boxes with streaks of brown at the front. If you want to make a case that is wood themed the entire thing should look like a wooden box with some metal reinforcements. Look at classic jukeboxes for inspiration.

Noctuas look bad in wood builds because they explicitly do not look like wood. Like cancerous mushrooms sticking onto the inner surfaces. Maybe that might be the intention though.

>>106146899

You don't need the extra word salad, this part was already enough.

I think most people interested in 30 minute long case reviews have owned a computer before and have fans. He isn't linus tech tips.

>>106147338
Because the point for the comparison is to see how each case stacks up against each other, not how it does at stock. That is mostly pointless information. Those who don't care about adding more fans will happily accept a +5C case without ever noticing it. Those who care will want to know whether their new case has the potential to be good or has serious inherent flaws that cannot be overcome. Benchmarking stock configs is pointless and also limits you to cases that come with fans.

Is this a good buy for 200 euros on sale?

Why *don't* case manufacturers make feet that are tall enough to put things underneath and have plenty of clearance to reduce dust intake? Or adjustable feet for that matter? It's just an extra screw mount per feet.

Why don't AIO manufacturers instead of putting useless decos on the pump block even on budget models try putting a single "master" screw on the top that is connected to the mounting screws or some other solution? You rotate that one screw and it applies pressure equally on all sides. I can think of simple ways to retain it without relying solely on friction so it'd be easy to make secure.

I am retarded and I cannot choose between 5060Ti 16Gb and 9070xt.

>corsair rm850x psu - purchased 6 months ago

bought a new 4k oled display last month, and my PC has been randomly crashing ever since. when it happens, both my displays go out, audio continues to play, peripherals continue to have power, fans all ramp up to 100%. i can use remote desktop to log into the system and see the cursor move when i move the mouse but with no graphics output, so the system is /somewhat/ responsive still. event viewer has nothing for the time other than an unexpected shutdown:
>The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

i've noticed that it happens more when there's appliances running on this side of the house, but it'll also just happen randomly at 5am while it's idling. all i can think of is that the circuit my system is on is sketchy and this new monitor is bringing the total load high enough that it all shits the bed, which an AVR UPS could solve

any ideas?

>>106147795
Could be, yes, but my immediate thought is Nvidia's recent issues on multi-monitor. Try changing outlets/extension but also check your drivers.

>>106147795
Sounds like it. If its a driver crash of some kind you don't get the whole PC locking up and fans to 100%. Try plugging it into another side of the house for a few days?

Imagine a custom gear with a Phillips / JIS face on the top side. It is spring loaded and is locked when at rest. Push it down with the screwdriver to unlock, then turn to rotate and tighten the mounting points on 4+ other locations simultaneously, as connected by a series of gears.

https://videocardz.com/newz/amds-next-gen-am6-socket-to-feature-over-2100-pins-may-support-am5-coolers
Socket AM6 that will support Zen 6 & Zen 7 will have much higher pin density but apparently AMD is gonna keep the plate dimensions basically the same to preserve cooler compatibility with existing ones used in AM4/5. It's a known fact that the IHS was intentionally made thicker in AM5 fro the same reason which gave them slight thermal penalty but I guess AMD figures since the chips run cooler most of the time it's worth it for continued backwards compatibility especially for enterprise/server customers that want to keep reusing as much of their hardware as possible to cut down on acquisition costs.

>>106148671

It's a handful of gears hidden underneath the front plate of the pump block, less than an LCD screen.

>>106148894
It's a redesign of the block and housing, an increase in (moving!) part count, and a lot of small batch components. They also have to be made of metal with some care paid to heat-treat/wear/stress since this is presumably marketed towards users who frequently replace components. LCD screens, by comparison, cost actual pennies which is why they add them.

Stop living in a dark cave, pajeet.
Glossy QD-OLED on the left with an obvious purple tint even with the screen on and reasonable lighting
Matte WOLED on the right.

>>106149118
The absence of a polarizer on QD OLED is the cause of the purple tint, glossy or not you'll have it, it's unavoidable, the more ambient light you have, the more pronounced the tint. Unless you play at night in a dark room, blacks will never be black.

Nigger, there's not a single individual owning a QD-OLED disproving the purple tint problem, all you can find is "uh, just turn off the light/close your curtains during the day bro", stop acting as if it was some kind of new tech released yesterday only you and a couple of people had access to.

>>106149143
Right looks more distracting than left unironically

>>106149143
You can adjust your ambient lighting to deal with reflections and raised blacks of a glossy coating and lack of a polarizer on QD-OLED. There is nothing you can do to deal with the foggy haze, worse gamut, and color volume collapse of matte WOLEDs.

Damn, imagine paying twice the price of an LCD to risk burn-in (unavoidable, but again, ASUS/MSI drones on this board will deny this) and to have a purple screen unless you use it at a specific time of the day or put your place in a specific lighting condition.

>>106149268
The thing I've noticed about pc hardware is that the biggest haters don't even own the products they're hating on

>>106149285
Cool straw man bro. You bought a QD OLED so you have to defend it no matter what.
You can accuse your interlocutor of not having the product he's criticizing (which is an assumption to flee the debate), but it's gonna be hard to argue against all the reviews out there pointing out the same exact issue with this tech.

>>106143064
I've bought win11 pro off G2A and it's worked fine for more than two years now. But it's a marketplace so your mileage may vary depend on who is actually selling you your key.

>>106149260
I'm not saying WOLED is better overall, it's just for comparison.
You can shit on VA for being smeary, IPS for glowing and TN for its viewing angles, but then praising and recommending QD-OLED as the superior tech by telling others to ignore all the major downsides this technology has, telling them they need to do this and that and only to play at night to properly use their >$1K monitor makes you a salesman or someone in denial.

>>106149303
Nah I admit the purple glow isn't ideal. But to claim that a permanent image quality debuff matte coating is the better solution is unadulterated bullshit

>>106149241
Alot of projection here, Rashjeet
>Trueblack
I was referring to the new WOLED monitors coming out with glossy

>here's not a single individual owning a QD-OLED disproving the purple tint problem
it's an overblown sensationalized issue, if you want optimal viewing conditions for any display you should not blow light directly on your display
you combine all these issues in a worst case scenario and a glossy qdoled still looks better than all matte displays, if you had a glossy woled on the side it would be a fair comparison

>>106149268
overblown issues
the worst thing about these monitors is the firmware and osds

>>106149303
>argue against all the reviews out there pointing out the same exact issue with this tech.
sensationalized cope and trusting techtubers over your own eyes lmao

>>106149379
The screen on the right clearly looks purple, and no it's not "overblown", I'm not buying an OLED for its contrast and true blacks just to have them replaced by a purple glow, it defeats the entire purpose of having an OLED.

>>106149241
Pic is how RTINGS measures the ambient black level raise, it's completely unrealistic.
Are you some kind of tranny wearing a light up halo when you use the PC?
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/picture-quality/ambient-black-level-raise

>>106149416
>and no it's not "overblown"
it is beyond fear mongering the way they talk about it, as I said even with the downsides it looks better
>I'm not buying an OLED for its contrast and true blacks just to have them replaced by a purple glow, it defeats the entire purpose of having an OLED.
so go woled but you lose color until tandem panels for monitors come out and even then they are not as good as qd
but if you are really gonna be shining so much light on your display everything fucks up you should get a miniled because you need 2000 nits to counter act your non optimal conditions anyway

>>106149456
you can really tell which people rely on theoretical vs practical experience itt

>>106149379
That's some cool blacks you've got there, Abhijeet
>inb4 it's techtubers overblown cope

Y'all really ought to tone down the racism a notch...

>>106149456
Cool blacks bro

>>106149518
I don't see anything wrong, just play in the dark

>>106149456
You miss the point. It's done like this to measure how the screen react to ambient light. Of course blacks will never look this purple unless you flash light directly onto your screen, it's still a good indicator of how it behaves if you're not in a dark room. Unless you imply that the problem suddenly disappears if you don't flash a halo light onto it.

>>106149303
>I'm not saying WOLED is better overall, it's just for comparison.
Fair enough. Coatings are distinct from the panel tech underneath them. Samsung sells their own G60SD & G80SD QD-OLEDs with a matte finish:
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/samsung-odyssey-oled-g60sd-s27dg602s-vs-samsung-odyssey-oled-g80sd-s32dg80/63129/63127
And Asus just released their new XG32UCWMG and XG32UCWG WOLEDs (still using last gen panels w/MLA and not the newer Tandem versions unfortunately) with a pure glossy finish:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG0E0k94WBc
https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/asus-debut-two-new-rog-strix-32-woled-monitors-with-new-trueblack-glossy-coating

So you can currently have either panel tech with either coating (and even turn a matte OLED into a glossy one with the damp paper towel method to peel it off). The main difference is the polarizer which does do a good job of rejecting ambient light reflections inside the panel to reduce black level rise. It can't be added to QD-OLED because it is a top-emission structure and it kneecaps brightness efficiency which is already an Achilles's heel of OLED. WOLED can get away with it because it's still bottom-emission (part of why their RGB component brightness is bad) and having a dedicated White subpixel can juice the raw nits output at the cost of color volume.

Samsung does have a polarizer-based QD-OLED panel type that they exclusively use in mobile devices and moving away from it their next-gen polarizer-less version will increase their effective brightness from 3000 to over 5000 nits:

>TechAeris
>Literal Who
You're also posting that screenshot out of context; he's showing the worst case where you place the monitor in direct sunlight.
That placement is also bad for WOLED displays because sunlight can degrade OLED panels.
Getting desperate here.

>You're also posting that screenshot out of context; he's showing the worst case where you place the monitor in direct sunlight.
That's not what he said, and obviously you struggle with English as you left out the first part of the sentence "I suppose,".
He says that direct sunlight MAY (i.e. meaning of "to suppose") amplify the problem shown on screen.
>Literal Who
I thought big reviewers and techtubers were untrustworthy? Backpedaling now?

>>106149662
>I thought big reviewers and techtubers were untrustworthy? Backpedaling now?
I said RTINGS' ambient lighting test conditions were unrealistic. Is this how you use the PC?

>>106149619
He's addressing the brightness of the screen and using conditional, not the purple tint. It's pretty obvious you cannot read. You are now a certified Pajeet™

>>106149662
This little TechAeris of yours also didn't mention those raised blacks as a negative in his product summary.
Not a deal breaker if you can control the ambient lighting, and I'm not talking about completely turning off all the lights.

>OLED shills posting pictures of OLED monitors so I can realise how great they are through my IPS monitor
is 4chan a home for chatbot shills only, now?

>>106149682

It's ok, we're not forcing you to have buyer's regret.

>>106149706

Oh, so what about "trusting techtubers over your own eyes lmao"??
So now techtubers are better sources and we cannot trust our eyes with the picture he made?

>>106149694
>not the purple tint
The point is he placed that monitor where it's exposed to sunlight, and the raised blacks were not a deal breaker in his eyes.

>>106149725
No he did not, that's your own headcanon based on your inability to read four sentences in simple English.

Yawn. Pretty funny cope from Rajneesh. QD OLED lost, CRT remains on top.

poortrannies coping because they cannot afford an OLED monitor

>>106149710
Except I didn't write that post. There is more than one person who's demoed or owns an OLED display.
I have both WOLED (TV) and a QD-OLED (monitor) display.
I was planning to return the QD-OLED monitor for a WOLED if the raised blacks turned out to be a deal breaker.
It wasn't.

>>106149725
Same old cope
>"USE YOUR OVERPRICED SCREEN IN THE DARK"
I'm not some kind of closeted faggot incel, I don't live in the dark surrounded by piss bottles.

>>106149768
Except that's not how you have to use QD-OLED monitors. Too bad you're too poor to demo it for yourself.

>>106149778
>It's ok to have a small purple tint, it's a small price to pay to have burn-ins
Again, same cope, you're not disproving the purple tint issue, you're pretty much saying it's much less pronounced than in the tests, but admitting that it's still present. No I don't want my blacks to have a small purple tint, the only reason to have OLED is for contrast and true blacks.

>>106149808
You'd have a modicum of credibility if you were able to test one yourself.
That's part of what product return windows are for: use them.
I decided to test the QD-OLED first since I already own a WOLED TV.

>>106149837
Assuming your interlocutor doesn't have the product on a gulag interior design forum is still not an argument, we've been over this.
Still, none of the possessors of QD OLED have disproved the problem, only claimed it's almost imperceptible but still there, which is the problem, or tried to flee the debate by trolling or playing retard

>>106149888
You're too poor to even test these new monitors during your legally protected product return window.
Know your place.

>>106149916
Yes I'm not spending >$1K on a true black monitor that cannot display true blacks, that's being a responsible adult.
Still not an argument.

>>106149916
>You're too poor to buy any piece of dysfunctional trash you might happen to come across
well, yes.

>>106149939
>I'm not spending
If you've kept your Amazon or whatever retailer account in good shape, they're going to honor the product warranty.
That's why I decided to try out the QD-OLED monitor. This is normal procedure for a display purchase, and why people advise you to keep the TV/monitor boxes (RMA as well).

The TrueBlack Glossy WOLED alternative for QD-OLED monitors isn't even available for purchase today.
People had to choose between grainy/hazy images of WOLED with matte/semiglossy panels for quite a while.

>>106149983
>dysfunctional trash
Poor people coping this hard.
Most of the major gaming monitor brands are supplying these QD-OLED monitors and taking on the burden of supporting these "dysfunctional trash".
QD-OLED gaming monitors have also become a key growth segment for Samsung Display.

>>106150031
>Most of the major gaming monitor brands are supplying these QD-OLED monitors
Supply/demand, doesn't mean it's superior
>taking on the burden of supporting these "dysfunctional trash".
With most brands reluctant on honoring their burn-in warranty, I wouldn't believe that.
>QD-OLED gaming monitors have also become a key growth segment for Samsung Display.
If you're pushing that much harder than miniLED/microLED, obviously it'll be more attractive than the old VA LCD samsung displays, because that's the only alternative.

>>106150031
Am I dreaming or do we have a samsung executive shilling on /pcbg/?

The new WOLEDs each have suboptimal display configs.

You are below a techtuber, Rashjeet
What is your point anymore?

>>106149518
This looks better than all monitors currently on the market, still

>>106149571
still the best tech availible

>>106149710
that was me, not him

>>106149723
any techtuber who post pics of qdoled with it entirely lit up with a grayish tint with magenta in direct sunlight is completely unhinged (like how the rtings pics look)
it does not even look like that in full show room lighting
it's a fabrication to stir up drama
but the ideal viewing conditions is no lights still obviously
if you used it irl once you would know this

>>106149765
>if the raised blacks turned out to be a deal breaker.
the joke here is that all woled monitors also have raised blacks or rather lowered contrast due to the matte coating
sure trueblack glossy might fix this but they still will be woleds and lose to qd
have to wait for the tandem memes and even then it will be slightly worse

>>106149768
even if you use it in full direct sun light like a retard it will still look better than any display on the market, that's the joke
but ideal is lesser light obviously

>>106149808
purple tint meme is a psyop, functionally irrelevant

>>106149888
>none of the possessors of QD OLED have disproved the problem
look at one irl one time "yeah, it's an overblown meme" - move on with your life
literally that simple
or keep letting techtubers force feed you the reality of life

>>106150124
Price just dropped for the 4k 165hz
it's not that expensive, cheaper than the qdoleds

until LG drops true RGB oled on PC, and if they don't matte it up

I would try to get a ridiculous deal from the brown person and just buy it from a store if I'm not robbing him.
