The 5700X is still pretty damn capable in a vacuum but with something like a 5070Ti / 9070XT it might start holding them back a little bit, especially in CPU heavy titles. When the 4080 and 7900XTX released, cards with a very similar level of raw performance, TPU also tested them with a 5800X on top of their usual 13900K testbench and they did lose out on some performance
You can still definitely upgrade the card, and maybe look around for decent deals on new or used 5700X3Ds / 5800X3Ds

so theres like 2 games there that aren't terrible if you're into them. 3 because i hear indiana jones is 'good'. They also all play just fine with memetracing on minimum.
Once again, a friendly reminder to all the bootlicking Njudean shill-tards that memetracing never needed to exist in the first place, lighting engines should still have remained something that game engine designers should have had total control over, and is purely a dev-cost cutting exercise that allows for drag and drop lighting assets at the cost of a massive framerate and stability drop. It also forces both AMD and Njudea to sacrifice valuable silicon real estate on the gpu chip to dedicate to memetracing cores when it could be giving us better rasterisation and compute power instead. This is as true now as when we were first exposed to it via the 2000 series of cards.
Njudea is a cancerous blight upon gaming and so is memetracing and its cult of buyers remorse shills. Also lol @ your lack of foreskins.

Shut up
Heavy RT is viable on mid range cards now, there's no reason every game shouldn't be pushing it as hard as they can.
>>106194701
Go try it yourself.
Go into cyberpunk/silent hill2/ any other game with heavy use of rt lighting or path tracing but without ray reconstruction at an internal resolution that is 1080p or below (which is what a 9070/xt is realistically going to be doing).
Grain and pixel crawl out the ass.
Remember Q2RTX(2080ti couldn't hold 1080p60)? It's maybe only a little bit better than that.

Anyone figured out how to get your towers rbg lighting to work on MSI without having to install their malware MSI Centre app? I tried a few third parties but they were all locked out at the hardware level due to MSI's kikery. Its still better than dealing with ASUS's giga-malware that survives new OS installs and almost all forms of deletion but that doesn't mean i like it.

retarded kike-shill take. Helldivers 2 has the best lighting engine for actual gaming, not staring at a wall/hallway and taking SS's, and they don't use memetracing at all.
Its a shitty gimmick for cost-cutting devs, nothing more. If the devs want to make a really nice lighting engine, they still can, if they're actually dedicated to it and white/korean/japanese men ofc.

there's plenty of reasons, their staff-share policy made a heap of their best code monkeys filthy rich in the last 5 years, so their best employees mostly just retired to live the good life.
They have been focusing on AI and the server/production market heavily because it makes way more money than you paypiggies want to give them, so their best remaining, non-shitskin code monkeys are mostly working on that, and of course, Winblows 11 is dogshit trash thanks to Microkikes legion of indian monkeys on keyboards writing the OS code, so even good coders will struggle to make functional drivers for winblows.

All these retarded newfags and njudea shills in pcbg probably don't even know what baking lights means. Games like Mirrors Edge from 2008 stills holds up today as one of the greatest looking games with pre baked lighting. You can make extremely realistic rasterized handcrafted lighting with pre baking. The only games that truly need raytracing are heavily dynamic open world games with day and night cycles and moving light sources. But nowadays lazy devs of linear games are using it even to save time and money.

It's usually about having a friend that has built one. Or it at least helps.
But as said. If you don't have one, with PCpartpicker etc it's easy to pick parts that work together. Then you find a youtube video or something to help you assemble.
One piece of advice I say every time is to not buy any sort of mini case. Get a mid/full tower, less to worry about with whether or not your surprisingly big CPU cooler or long GPU fit.
And basically whatever other parts you're thinking of getting, buy a 1440p monitor, it'll save you from disappointment.

Fuck bro's I swapped my PC over to a new case and now my 4090 doesn't give off any signals to my monitor. I swapped back to my old 4070s and everything works perfect again, is my 4090 toast? I tried re-seating it several times etc...

Mine did that once and I changed the BIOs to PCIE 4.0-3.0 and it came back. Then worked fine when I put it back to PCIE 5.0. Mine was a 3090, and yes I was shitting myself. It may have just been a coincidence.

You are being lied to by the schizos in this thread that have an unhealthy obsession with hardware unboxed and love slandering him. He barely talks about the 5080 in that video and even says his daughter didn't even really new a new pc but msi just offered to upgrade her so of course he accepted it like any good father. Steve's primary problem with 5080 and 50 series as a whole was price which is why he also made videos shitting on AMD when the 9070 XT failed to stay at MSRP.

Gigabyte mobo was innocent after all. Desperate, I took eraser to RAM contacts and blew half of duster can into the slots. The shit now works better than ever, I could never make it run 3600MHz 16-16-16-36 1.35V XMP on the old board. None of the Gear2 etc stuff is necessary anymore.
The next problem is I can't get any better DDR4 in my shithole so If I want to sell my old PC as a "prebuilt" (much higher chances of being bought) - I would have to order good kit online and wait month+ for it.

Don't overpay for it. Last year you could get the 5700X3D for like $150. I really wouldn't go anywhere above $200 at the absolute maximum for a 5000X3D chip.
The 5700X/5800X non 3D are still perfectly capable, I'm loving my 5700X with a 7800XT, but yeah with a beefier GPU you might start seeing some limitations especially in CPU heavy games. YMMV depending on what you play and do with your PC

Arc Poorfags can't stop losing
Idk how people can cope and lie to themselves that the nvidia driver overhead isn't real and a serious problem for competitive games. 9070 XT only 9 fps behind the 5090 and better 1% lows. GeForce is clearly getting raped hard by the overhead in this game. Arc has 1% low stuttering issues for similar reasons likely.

Yea, I just tried a bunch more and couldn't get it to work, I think it might have an issue sitting properly in my mobo PCIE slot so I bought a lian li vertical GPU mount to throw in my Antec Flux Pro to see if that works since I just swapped my case from the Y70 which was also vertical mount and my 4090 worked fine in that.

the trickiest parts are;
>installing ram sticks
some motherboards have crazy stiff slots and you have to exert huge force to get them to actually seat correct, and if you slip or lose balance you could break the ram slot connector or the ram sticks themselves. Unlikely but requires serious focus to get right, 3/10 diff
>inserting cpu correctly
getting it to sit in the slot JUST right requires good eyesight and focus, if you wear glasses make sure you have them actually keyed into your current ocular degeneration level, screwing this up, and trying to seat a cooler on top and screwing it down, is a great way to damage your mobo and cpu. 6/10 diff first time
>installing AIO coolers
some are easier than others, the arguably best performer (i heard corsair, lian li and phanteks are on par or better tho) is arctic freezer III, which is awkward to install and get the wiring correct, and the instructions aren't super-clear. 3/10 diff, try not to scratch the copper plate by accident if you lose positioning
>flashing the bios
Unless you're buying a cpu that came out before the launch of the mobo you bought, you will need to flash the bios without a cpu installed 95% of the time. This process is fucking aids. Get ahold of at least a few different branded, and preferably older USB flash drives, no bigger than 32gig capacity, and load up the bios patch on them, it took me 4x different drives to find one that worked for my tomahawk x870, the one that shipped with the mobo itself, didn't work. Figuring out if its working or DOA is a matter of intuition, extensive research and massive patience half the time.
My advice? pick your parts and pay a ---local independent pc store with a retail outlet--- to assemble it for you for your first time, and assemble a whole new pc in 5 years time yourself, using the previous pc as a DL+testing hub to make sure the new parts work. You yanks dont seem to have many of these for some reason, too many globohomo megacorps ig.

Sorry if retard, but are USB slots added to my mobo via a pcie card worse/slower than the ones on my mobo's backplate? Obviously assuming they're all the same kind of usb.
I can imagine there's some kind of inteference from having to go through a pcie instead of being hardwired into the board itself.

when trying to open file explorer other programs they would just crash and close. id get the blue screen and the error message would usually say memory leak. the computer would be good for a bit then start crashing and getting blue screened more and more often as time goes on. mind you i have plenty of ram to work with and i dont multitask too much. usually vm open and watching vids and the occasional gaming. usually steam or old roms from wii u and down.

CPU is 99% irrelevant when it comes to AI.
For AI, your main concern is going to be VRAM. And thanks to nvidia, you have to make sacrifices.
16GB on a 5070ti limits what models you can load, compared to 24GB on a 3090/4090. It also gives you more headroom for multitasking. You absolutely want 24GB, and a 3090 costs about the same as a 5070ti.
However, the 3090 is significantly worse than a 5070ti for gaming, and it's an old card so you miss out on things like fp8 with AI.
4090/5090 would be ideal, but you're paying double what you would for a 5070ti (minimum).
I'd check 3090 benchmarks for the games you want to play, and if it's good enough, go for that over the 5070ti.

if you want your pc to effortlessly mutlitask with browsers, games, various apps running in the background, groomercord etc, and not worry about cpu-bottlenecks, and you're not poor, the 9950x3d is your go-to.
That being said, its getting slightly long in the tooth at this point, there is an argument to wait for the 11800x3d. They're gonna be big upgrades with loads more cores.

You might find a 4080 but mor than likely I'd pick between the 9070 xt and the 5070 ti. Neither of those shcost more than $850. If you can comfortably wait it's possible that new cards will come before the year is up

Same anon as last thread, went and tightened my timings some more, down to 61.5 ns latency. Ran y-cruncher for over an hour and then spent a few hours gaming, seems rock solid, pretty happy.
Is there any word on what AMD is cooking for their next GPU lineup? I've been eyeing the 9070 XT as an upgrade from my RX 6800 but I can't really justify the expenditure.
I found someone willing to buy my used 7800 XT for $525. I was thinking of doing a slight downgrade to a 9060 XT card because it seems like AI upscaling and frame gen is going to be a big deal for demanding games in the future. It also helps that I managed to find an open box model from microcenter for $360 with tax included.
Is this a bad deal or should I just keep my 7800 XT? I run most games in 1440p but was thinking of pulling out my 1080p monitor as a 2nd monitor to make the 9060 XT more futureproof.
Should I swap my cards or just hold onto my 7800 XT? AMD still hasn't confirmed if FSR 4 is even coming to the 7000 series cards.

Given most people don't bother with multiple graphics cards anymore, I feel like full sized ATX in a full tower is kind of a waste from a performance standpoint. The only real advantage it gives you is working space in the case itself. For the vast majority of applications, mATX is better so long as you learn how to work within the space limits.

Pretty good for a $130 CPU, I think. I did read somewhere that these HX cpus are power hungry. I hope I don't end up paying for it with the power bill in the long term.
It looks like boost ratio was locked to 42x. I'll try playing with core ratio and voltage offset and stuff and see if I can squeeze more out of it.

idk if this belongs here but I need a new PC for my HTPC set up and I'm on a tight budget (~200$).
If I just played videos I'd just get the cheapest thing I could find, but I've also been getting into emulation. Basically I'm looking for a budget mini PC with modern CPU extensions and good integrated graphics.

That's the sad thing. This entire general is Reddit incarnate. You ask for what the best card is at a price point, you get sold to spend double that price point by waddling thumb-human living basedjak memes. Or you get told to buy used cards that don't exist. There's a totally unrealistic view of what the market embodies, and it's fueled by a bunch of equally inept and detached Youtube personalities.

Should do the trick
Sometimes my pc turns off (presumably due to overheating) Here's my specs,
R9 5950X, RX7800XT, ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II, 80Gb 3200Mhz Corsair Vengeance LPX paired with Corsair RGB RS (64 kit with 16kit) and my PSU is a Corsair CP-9020179-EU RM750x, I also have 3 NVMes 2 on the board and one in a PCIe slot
Am I overstressing my PSU with all this shit?
it will straight up turn off and my room will start boiling, and afterward I place my hand on the psu and it's EXTREMELY hot, the fan on it works and it has ventilation
Frens, my GPU just arrived. I was using my iGPU so far, should I disable it somehow or I simply install the GPU, replug the DP cable and call it a day?

if you really have to stick to a new gpu, just take the L and get an rx9060xt 8gb. but a far better option is getting a used rtx3080 10/12gb if you have a decent psu

>>106201741
4070S was a fair bit faster than the original while providing no extra vram
4070ti super was about 5-10% faster than the 4070ti and had 4gb more vram
4080 super was 1% faster than the 4080 and didn't provide more vram

idk we will get monitors with higher res faster than tvs at this point and more hz

there's a shitload of people with the same problem on plebbit so I'd rather not bother, replacement will be likely the same
at least it's fixable via clock offset
I like the card otherwise

cs2 is different, majority of pros are playing on 24" 1080p 500hz+ monitors with an in game resolution of 1280x960 stretched aspect ratio. They dont care how it looks

Again it varies to card to card. For Powercolor I believe it only changes the clock speed and power limit.

I love having this thing. S tier hardware is so nice even outside of gaming just for flexibility, whatever random shit i decide to do that day it'll just eat that shit up. If i decide to chop up some 8k video my friend shot at a carshow because his computer sucks, no probalo. I want to run some local ai models for shits and gigs? just install that shit and go. Any vr game I find? max settings of course. so comfy

I know I just used it as an example
if you are a cstard and use a zowie I don't care
if you have such a shit rig you are using a lower scaled res instead of 1440x1080 on a 1080p you gain zero benefit it just has less pixels and looks even worse
I could be wrong though
literally just aiming at pixels

they should stop using 4:3 at this point anyways, native 1080p has too many advantages to ignore
>>106202004
It's not a binning issue, it's just a oopsie on the VBIOS. It's supposed to do it's rated clocked (3050mhz) instead it's doing 3300+ mhz which is obviously not stable.

stretched res makes sense because of how the player models look, just boot up the garbage and try it
you can question if it is a benefit or not and depending on the fov you lose/get and whatever
running and even lower res than you could use for stretched makes less sense, maybe because they are too stupid to know you can add custom resolutions and they go with the default in game that is 1280x960 and that became standard
many such cases
also shit rigs

AIBs are in charge of the clock and they fucked up. Like ASRock fucked up the vsoc on their motherboards it's not AMD issue its ASRock issue just like ASRock GPU.

I'm still running my LG c2 42 + LG DualUP combo and I love it. Almost 3 years of desktop HDR use with all the safeties turned off in service settings and zero noticable burn-in
I kind of want to upgrade bc consumerism but there isn't anything better enough to be worth it, maybe when LG or maybe Samsung does a 42in 240hz OLED

well shit, already seeing it as high as 3130MHz (non-oc bios spec is 2970MHz)
back to using offset I guess
>>106202088
>AIBs are in charge of the clock and they fucked up
AIBs are advertising the minimum expected boost clocks in their spec sheets. AMD Radeon's boost algorithm is responsible for what happens past that.

That CPU issue is not related to the Vsoc, it's the aggressive PBO currents ASRock were allowed to set within AMD's guidelines.
That's why AMD, not ASRock, is sending out CPU replacements to affected users with no questions asked.

ASRock default vsoc was 1.28+v that's insanely high no matter the CPU. Every X3D is happy with 1.2v or lower.

aibs do control how much factory oc their models get
but since its amd we're talking about, they probably didn't provide the proper tools for aibs to validate stability

They only validate stability for the rated clock (3050mhz)
The card is hitting 3300mhz by mistake.

Except AMD's AGESA BIOS made this impossible to happen for B850 & X870/E boards.
If you understand board power delivery, you'd know there are measurement errors.
The CPU die isn't actually getting that 1.28V.

Having a more accurate voltage sensor is a premium feature for Maximum/Crosshair ROG boards.

funny panel size those are not cheap I could buy another c4 for that cost

you run hdr on in windows? does not that make the light fluctuations on desktop actually be retarded though?
>I kind of want to upgrade bc consumerism but there isn't anything better enough to be worth it, maybe when LG or maybe Samsung does a 42in 240hz OLED
that or if a 42" qdoled gets released but I wonder how the pixel matrix would look on desktop maybe it would be worse than woled actually not sure
only upgrade other than that would be if you get a 55" G5/S95F and maybe that is too large yep

ROG Crossshair / Maximus boards sell just fine.
The OC community knows which board models have the most reliable power sensors (hint, it isn't mainstream ASRock boards).

Is it me or HDR on windows 11 is incredibly hit and miss?
I want to use HDR 1000 mode on my monitor but the colors on the desktop are incredibly wrong with that mode, in certain games turning HDR on makes every color look washed out.
I turned it on in RDR2 and the game almost looked grayscale at moments. Same goes for the RE2 and 3 Remakes.
I did the windows HDR calibration but no changes. is there something I am missing or HDR on windows is just hit and miss?

Enable Windows HDR only when you're viewing HDR-mastered or modded content.
You need to find HDR mods for games with non-native HDR.
Even most games with native HDR need community mods to clean it all up.
