Zased, I remember a few years ago when everyone and their mother was freaking out if some esports player used "z" in game chat.

Not sure where else to ask this, I need a cheap gaming laptop.
Like sub $400
It needs to effectively just have a gpu that isn’t shit in it, and comfortably play halo reach in 1080p even if it’s not at high settings
Think anything with a 2050 would be plenty
What should I be looking for?

>>106252772

gf named everyone and mother no one else even blinked

>>106252805
a used one

My VX2758-2KP-MHD died recently, I need a new 1440p/27"/144+hz monitor and I narrowed it down to Dell G2724D and Asus XG27ACS. The Dell one is significantly cheaper at $160, but Asus one has better performance and wider color gamut support and comes at $210 but some users report about its grainy matte screen cover. I'm torn between the two, both are good options but what would /pcbg/ do?

>>106253116
You could always peel off the matte coating.

Are ssds more long lasting and data recoverable after crashes than hdds? I keep getting varying answers online.

>>106252805
steam deck.

>>106253116
you can find 240hz at $210.

>>106147795
>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.

this guy again, i'm borrowing a 5080 from a friend. it hasn't crashed while idle (yet, thankfully), but i get 5 minutes or so into a game and it'll crash, so it's doing it even more reliably than the 4070ti was, which to me indicates it really is a power source issue. i was getting a few hours out of the 4070ti in the weekend during the battlefield beta before it would crash.

i'm about to shutdown and recable everything again just to be 100% sure, but from there i'm unsure on what to do next if it keeps happening:
- replace PSU (Corsair RM850x 850W ATX 3.1)
- replace motherboard (Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC mATX)

someone suggested nvidia drivers have issues with dual monitors, but it does it even when i unplug the second monitor. ran DDU for fresh drivers etc already. haven't tried a fresh windows install yet

>>106253205
Define "crashes", because the answer changes depending on what you meant by that.

>>106252727 (OP)
>launch rocket at america

>>106253164
you can't peel off screens with polarizers like that you gonna fuck up the entire display
you can polish matte screens if you are a real schizo tier though

>>106253116
whatever is cheap and fits your budget not like you can be picky
I'd go 180hz+ and wide color gamut

>>106252805
A steam deck with dock if you want new and without surprise issues.
No, are not getting good laptop for 400$ nowadays.

>>106253116

the asus comes with stickers are you perhaps child or doctor

>>106253233
I don't reside in the US, I used USD to give an estimate.
>>106253282
I was leaning towards the Asus one as well, it's just that I was a bit worried about the screen coating. I suppose I can always check it in store.

>>106253238
kawaii!

>>106253259
the problem is the GPU. novidio can't handle multiple displays plugged into it, especially when using features like gsync and framegen.
use the 4070ti, it's more stable, and roll back your drivers to the last ones released before the 5000 series released, it's like 566 or something.
also plug your extra monitors into your cpu (video ports on your motherboard) instead of your gpu.
go watch this video if you want a more detailed analysis.

>>106253238
if you have a nice AMD APU in there, that is kino.
if you have some dogshit intel cpu in there to power the displays in the lobbies of businesses, cringe.

Started playing with process lasso today, having everything not muh gaymes on ccd1 is pretty neat. Any other cool stuff I can do with it?

Crashes as in becomes unusable but the memory can still be extracted.

>>106253637
Nah it's not, never built a PC before so I wanted to know how bad these decisions are. It's for gaming and I'm trying to see how to cut this down to less than 1.2k.

This would get you within budget (without monitor), it would also be much better for gaming, the 3060 is an old GPU

thots on graphene thermal pads?

>>106253807
meme

Getting some cash for my birthday soon and I was thinking about upgrading my GPU. Haven't really upgraded my tech in a while and I'm out of the loop about what's good these days. I do a lot of multimedia projects like animation, music, and hopefully some gamedev stuff in the future. With a budget of 300-400 USD what would be the best choice? I really like using NVENC to record with but I was thinking about looking into AMD since Linux works better with it and I do dualboot. Any help would be super appreciated.

>>106253785
Ah thanks! Looks much better than what my choices would've been.

>>106253807
its electrically conductive and barely better than good pads/putty so its meme

>>106253785
>the 3060 is an old GPU
Something about this sentence doesn't sit well with me and I don't even have the 3060.

>>106253898
I'm sorry to inform you anon, but the 3060 is over 5 years old now

Did this guy https://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/106252727#bottom buy the C4 or not? I'd like some closure.

>>106253116
They're both good monitors, I would get the ASUS one if it's $210 US.
Better ones are miniLED or OLED for the same resolution.

>>106253683
>>106253785 is a more solid build than what tyou originally had. A general rule of thumb for gaming PCs regardless of budget, is to dedicate ~50% of it to the GPU alone and then put the rest into a platform that simply won't bottleneck it.

My PCPP recommendation: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ynrhcx
Also comes out to a little less than ~$1200 w/o monitor using the older but still good Raptor Lake i5 w/cheap DDR4 RAM for added savings that I reinvested into a 5070 which is a huge step-up for FPS. Keep in mind Nvidia is planning to update it and the rest of the 5000 series in a matter of month with more VRAM which will be useful @ 1440p alledgely for the same price because of how slow the sales of the vanilla 5000 cards have been:
https://hothardware.com/news/nvidias-alleged-geforce-rtx-50-super-pricing-just-changed

You can save a good bit on the monitor as well with this similar-spec one after coupon code (the extra 60Hz isn't worth another $80 IMO):
https://www.amazon.com/SANSUI-Monitor-Computer-ES-G27F2Q-Included/dp/B0CWCWL81G?th=1
I personally don't think any 1440p Fast-IPS should be sold for more than $200 in 2025, and if they are they should be 4K instead.

Let us know if your $1.2K budget should really be including the monitor instead of adding it separately too and further changes can be made accordingly.

woah wtf why didn't anyone tell me that Nvidia exclusive Ray Reconstruction is really good.

In your price range narrowed with AMD-only, honestly the 7700 XT 12GB would be my choice (better than 9060 XT see picrel per for roughly the same cost):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9QKXJDK

>>106253957
750w psu would most probably be enough
b850 board would be sufficient

>>106253904
I don't know what you mean, my 3080 was just released by nvidia yesterday

>>106254062
forgot to mention you should get cl30 ram and maybe a 48gb kit at that with moneys saved from mobo and psu

>>106254031
sometimes divine intervention guides your path
I could have solved it by other means by I was lazy so
plus I can't use it at optimal settings right now anyway
now I can cope about other things later
do you own one? are you buying one?

>>106254069
time passes quickly, anon.

>>106253957
1. Over $200 for a mobo is a lot, any particular feature set you have in mind or just something generally nice/good enough?
2. A dual-tower air cooler is enough for the 9800X3D and you wouldn't have to worry about the pump failing years down the line or corrosion buildup in the microfins of the coldplate, etc.
3. If you plan to keep this system for a really long time I'd second getting more than the 32GB of RAM
4. You can save roughly ~$100 for a single 4TB NVME drive compare with 2 separate drives worth only 3TB combined capacity that will leave you with an extra mobo slot to add extra capacity to later:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CX3NnQ/kingspec-xg7000-4-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-xg-7000-4tb

>>106254069
3080 would have been never obsolete™ if nvidia had given it 20gb as initially planned

>2 year old 6750xt starts crashing out
>RMA offers me a full refund
Do I grab a 9060XT or a 5060Ti, both 16gb? They are almost the same price here. I play games occasionally and don't particularly care about AI or CUDA stuff.

>>106254180
The 5060 Ti 16GB is a small but healthy jump over the 9060 XT as shown in >>106254061 and here.

>>106253974
I see, thanks! Not including the monitor in the budget is okay.
Still planning to go with that build the other Anon posted but I'll add this monitor in, any 144hz or above IPS is fine to me.

>>106254131
Those scoundrels.

>>106254213
Good to know. Are the driver issues people had with the 50 series fixed now?

do any current GPUs support video-in thru hdmi or display port without the use of a secondary capture card?

>>106254044
hop in bro

>>106253477
lmfao fucking retarded nvidia
put an undervolt and got 90 min of game time instead of 5 min, then it crashed while watching that video. swapped dp port so if it does it again i'll try rolling back drivers

>>106254239
I had to return my 5060Ti even after doing their released firmware update, I'd get a black screen on boot with the last two driver releases

>>106254239
it depends on your specific hardware configuration. me, i've never seen any issues since driver version 572.83 but i only have a single g-sync monitor too

What do I need to build an anti-gaming PC?

I want to build a PC that gives the impression that I'm a person who hates PC gaming, hates Valve, hates the Steam Deck, hates Gabe Newell, and rejects PC gaming.

What case, processor, mouse, RAM, and operating system would be ideal for what I'm looking for?

A macbook would do the trick

>>106254378
What you want is a Macbook Pro

>>106254249
No, why would they? Capture circuitry is way different than of a normal gpu. Just buy a cheap capture card.
I have this one, is 4k60 PASSTHROUGH and record at 1080p60

>>106254334

>>106254378
check out jeff geerling's ARM desktop builds.

>>106254443
Yeah but no one used tv-tuners and to make gpu cost less (to them) they just remove them, you're talking about 20+ years cards, not even my first ati 9250 had that

>>106253966

>>106254062
>>106254118
Sorry for the long reply time, I was taking care of some stuff.
Well, for the psu I figured at 850w it'll be running super cool.
The x870 has more power phases, so despite me not planning to oc, I think it'd be more durable.
For the cpu cooler, I have a thermalright PA120 on the i7 9700k now, but I figured this newer cpu with higher wattage would run hot on it.
More ram, sure, I'll just step to 64gb.
Those nvme's are just what I currently have, just put them in for pcpartpicker.

>>106254396
I will use my 9800x3d at maximum utilization rather than limiting my expensive processors with obsolete heirlooms, thanks.

>>106254714
>>106254707
I can second this one as a good cheap mouse. Personally it didn't fight my hand well and caused cramps. I ended up with a Pulsar Crazylight, I love it but it's expensive so I can't recommend it if you are on a budget.

Will gaming utilize multiple cpu cores or is clock speed the only factor at play

>>106254971
both of those are used but the bigger problem becomes memory latency once you have a modern cpu with at least 6 cores

>>106252727 (OP)
finished new build. thanks anons for all the help through the process. everything's running great.

I typed up a long post and lost it all, so here's the shorter version: New mobo has ALC4080 audio codec, and I can tell the audio has changed for some reason from my old build which had ALC897. little more boxy? little more compressed? little more latency? I play music so (I think) have a reasonably good ear.

some things I might get used to or get over, but one that's really annoying is a consistent crackle any time I run a program and windows prompts to confirm running. this is just one I've noticed so far. I noticed some mentioned this might be bypassed using optical output, but the crackle happens on both optical and aux outputs. any solutions or am I just fucked? would an audio card really help? is this some kind of shielding/electrical issue maybe? my speakers don't have any hum

do you guys use a monitor arm or sticking with the default stand?
i have 27inch main and 24inch side monitor, thinking of getting a monitor arm, is it better to get one for both monitors or two separate?
what about price point?
are more expensive worth it or there is hardly any difference?
i see the prices vary from around 50ish euro to nearly 300 euro
how much of a difference is there in build quality?
any recommendations?

>>106255358
I ran dual monitors on stands for years and just switched to dual arms and it's pretty nice. I'm actually running the same screen size setup as you while I shop for another 27" kek.

I'd recommend going the dual arms route because you get more desk space back and just have a lot more flexibility manipulating the monitors. I was looking at the Fully/Herman Miller arms, then realized $250 was ridiculous got a set for like $70 on amazon and they're really pretty nice. I don't think spending more is worth it because they're all solid and you're never going to be looking at the arms anyway. only case I can think of for stands is that you will need additional 5-6 inches behind your desk for the arms, so you can't have the desk fully backed up to a wall.

The ALC897 only had a SNR of 100dB while the newer 4080 chip had a theoretical range of 120db so if anything your audio should sound clearer and the 870 Tomahawk looks well put together..

1. Did you update all your firmware and (audio) drivers?
2. Download LatencyMon and let it run while doing things that causes the crackle:

Those symptoms sound like a DPC latency storm typically from either a bad driver install/conflict or something like a wonky storage/PCI-E slot

You're correct, since your card is 4.0 it shouldn't matter, and not sure why that was brought up by those guys. Low GB cards and those with shortened buses (x8 size instead of x16) will really like having 5.0 to compensate, but that does not apply here. The PCIe speed probably isn't the cause.

>>106257036
Should I upgrade my 2070 super to a 5060ti or 5070ti, cpu is amd r9 3900x?

>>106257036
From my understanding it caught fire cause a MOSFET exploded, something that also happened on an ASUS astral 5090 and can happen on any GPU in general

>>106257072
When mosfets die, they do it silently by short circuiting themself while keeping the core safe or at worst, blow a hole in the board.
However, that zotac 5090 solid literally caught ON FIRE for 10 seconds according to the user. I have never seen this happen on any gpu in the last 8 years I've been paying attention to gpus.

forget about the 5060ti 8gb, it's a noob trap. the minimum viable card is the 5060ti 16gb while the 5070 12gb is significantly faster. 5070ti 16gb is nice but your 3900x will bottleneck it

This just means AMD Radeon GPUs are much more VRAM bottlenecked because they have smaller L1 (32 KB vs. 128 KB per WGP/SM) and L2 (8 MB vs. 48 MB) caches by comparison.

>Muh 64 MB L3/Infinity Cache
The smaller L1 & L2 are causing the SRAM bottleneck anyway; that's why Radeon chips are so dependent on SAM.

It's worth educating everyone else. The 5070 Ti has 4x the L1 and 6x the L2 cache compared to the 9070 XT.
That's why it doesn't rely as much on the VRAM, and that's why GeForce chips are generally more power efficient.

The GPU designers (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) are responsible for sharing reliable reference designs & component/cooling requirements.

The only products with more than one of these are designed to draw over 600W with an XOC BIOS.
NVIDIA's not allowing board partners to split a 600W total power draw across two connectors, that would make their FE look bad.

not allowed by nvidia either since galax did that on the 5090D HOF but it was only a limited run

>>106258662
just make sure its not an early ES with stability problems and has an unlocked multiplier so you won't be stuck at sub 3.5ghz clocks. also don't expect it to be able to overclock memory well at all since the shim interposer degrades ddr signal quality.

They are, even GN said so in talks with AIBs, it was misunderstood they couldn't but Nvidia does allow it.
It's why Galax it's allowed to do it because ultimately Nvidia allows it.
Unless you believe Nvidia carved out an exception for XOC which would be a real retarded assertion for you to make.

>>106258705

I'm looking at a 2080ti and wondering if it's worth the 250 or if I should splurge and get something newer/better

>>106258826
why are you building it in the first place

>>106258822
>The 5090D was a limited production run
NTA but that's wrong. its the China variant of the 5090 to get around some export sanctions. Hell they are doing a V2 version of it even

>>106258804
its probably allowed with big asterisks like nvidia not guaranteeing chips placed on dual connector boards because of implied overclocking risk

>>106258812
That's fucking great but I will rely on my own empiric experience of NO FUCKING EYESTRAIN ON OLD GPU AND DRIVERS WITH THE SAME MONITOR CAN YOU EVEN READ, NIGGER?

>>106258836
I'm making a small build for my dad now that he's retired
He's said to me multiple times he wants to get into video games so I'm just gonna load up a bunch of old man games on it for him

>>106258765
It's qtj1, from what I've seen online it's supposed to be a good chip. In theory it's should be something between a 10700k and a 9900k. Do you have any recommendations on what should I look into before pulling the trigger?

>>106258838
the dual connector version is only found on earlier batches. the later batches all come with only one connector installed and requires hard modding to have the second connector. that's why its technically limited run.

>>106258838
I meant to say the 5090D HOF OC Lab is a limited production model.
Galax doesn't sell any other 5090/D with two 12V-2x6 connectors.

>>106258822
Don't need to prove something when the proof physically exists.
Don't get upset because you got caught being wrong
I know it just tears you apart

>>106258848
yeah make sure your board has at least 6 but preferably >8 power stages available for vcore. 8-core skylakes can pull a lot of power when clocked high

>>106258841
keep telling yourself that but its literally not the driver causing it to begin with. You're probably bumping into some Vsync or VRR setting with your bargain bin decade old second hand slop monitor and you don't even realize it but stop shitting up the pc building thread with ur fucking tech support schizo ramblings.

>>106258861
So you have no proof of GN Steve claiming this little bullshit of yours.
The existence of a limited production XOC card designed to pull over 1200W shouldn't be the basis of your argument.
Let me know when Galax sells as HOF Safety Edition with two 12V-2x6 connectors limited to the 600W reference maximum.

>>106258866
Thanks man, appreciate it

>>106258846
>old man games
There are a lot of newer retro-style games that he might enjoy too.

>>106258846
itd be easy to say 5060 but it has 8gb vram so theres no good budget options
I guess 5070 is the only good option, or wait for the supers

>>106258786
shieeet there's even a v3 now

>>106258133
sorry for that anon what about checking the other shops online ?

>>106258879
>claiming this little bullshit of yours.
It's not bullshit
The Galax has it, GN said it
Bury your head in the sand and say it isn't true tho like the shitstain you are in this community

>>106258947
>The Galax has it
Only on their special edition (XOC) Hall of Fame SKU, which is no longer in production. It has two connectors to provide over 1200W power, not to deliver 600W more safely.

>GN said it
Still no source/timestamp.

>>106258702
Unfucking believable I woke up to a warning, the unpaid janitor situation is getting out of control.

>>106258812
>>106258688
>>106258664
Also it IS a non-PWM IPS. "flicker-free" according to manufacturer and passes https://www.testufo.com/blurtrail

Why was it deleted anyways? It was just a PC case.

>>106259018
Janny had a melty and deleted every post mentioning russia. You can guess what kind of mental illness xhe has.

>>106258969
Why should I bother peering though hours of videos just because you reject reality
The Galax has 2 connectors, if Nvidia didn't allow it. The card wouldn't exist in the same from.
Nvidia didn't allow it because the card draws 1200w, the 1200w card exists on the basis that Nvidia approved the design with the two connectors and allowed it into production

>>106258619
only if transferring slop
not using it as a main drive or anything
and if I bought more I would buy ssds since they are smaller and available in 8tb prolly

>>106258627
are os-level cheats available on online consoles? I heard about people cheating in ER online on PS but about it don't know how they do it
if you have a jailbroken console I understand but the entire os is encrypted no
last time I checked no
people swap to console and disable cross platform matchmaking to avoid cheaters all the time
what do you mean?

>>106259027
That's really weird.

>>106259033
>allowed it into production
Because Galax made fewer than a thousand of these.
Limited edition SKUs that can draw over 1200W of power don't represent the board design for 99.9% of the 5090 available for purchase.

>>106259009
VRR? FreeSync? Gsync? are those enabled? disable them if so.

Looking to rma my 5070 which has horrible performance and on top of it keeps crashing. Fuck nshitea, what amd gpu should I snag?

>>106259055
>only 100 sets worldwide
not even a thousand!

>>106259066
Post proof of your 5070 ownership, including the RMA confirmation.
If you can't, sign up for therapy.

>>106259055
But it does mean Nvidia approved a 2 connector design.
Thus 12VHPWR could be made safer if others follow suit.
I know, ugh it sucks AIBs have a choice but don't take it, you clearly know something is wrong but your mindset is that they are forced so it's acceptable.

>>106259061
FreeSync, is disabled in monitor settings.

>>106259090
probably comes down to this >>106258839 and no aib is daring enough to cover the cost of a single dead 5090 die let alone thousands/millions

>>106259094
and in the nvidia panel / windows?

>>106259090
They allowed it based on Galax making a limited edition 5090D designed to handle over 600W of power.
No one else has made a 5090/4090 limited to 600W with two 12V-2x6 connectors, which would make NVIDIA's FE look bad.

>because you reject reality
That' you. This is the reality.

>>106259083
I'm not going to post shit for you fucking corp fanboy retard, it's well known the 5000 series has massive driver issues and I'm just tired of them. Not to mention bought this thing before 12gb vram apparently became obsolete leading to horrific 1% lows that none of the reviewers ever talk about.

Intel exclusive graphics feature "smooth sync" is causing this artifacts.
Reported, Intel should pay me. But aside that my Arc GPU really rock solid.

>>106259097
Doesn't matter
Clearly Nvidia isn't that rigid in a single 12VHPWR
The VBIOS still defines the power limit, 2 connectors doesn't mean it has to consume 1200w.

>>106259115
and then everybody clapped. nigga stop making up bullshit and provide proof that u own the card.

>>106259115
>corp fanboy retard
Radeon projection, you're the one making up stories.

>>106256795
1440p was viable over a decade ago.
4k is the meme that relies on upscaling and serves no improvement because monitors are too small to utilize the extra resolution in desktop settings as well.

>>106256971
5080 is a meme card. buy a 5070 ti or a 4090/5090 if you MUST have novidio.
or wait for super, but still avoid the 80 class. it's a dogshit card for people too stupid to buy the 70ti and too poor to buy the 90.

>>106259104
There's not even an option anywhere in Windows or NVIDIA panel to enable it. I assume I would need to enable FreeSync on the monitor itself first, then reboot/replug the cable. Which I have never done before, so pretty sure VRR is off.

>>106259109
So your whole idea is that Nvidia made an exception but won't allow others because it would make the FE look bad
You are really grasping auto make it seem like AIBs just have zero agency

>>106259172
it should be under "game mode" or something

>>106258209
>>106258267
new world 2.0?

>>106259174
>make it seem like AIBs just have zero agency
Because it's the truth?
Why do you think none of the AIBs are allowed to fix the uneven 12V-2x6 current distribution by following the 3090 Ti's power connector layout?
Because that would make the FE look worse.

>>106258645
sounds like you're a hypochondriac schizophrenic.

>>106259124
my school loans me intel APU laptops, they are miserable experiences. trying to deal with the drivers on that thing.

>>106259178
I've a legacy NVIDIA control panel. The only thing it has is VSync which I've always kept at "adaptive".

If you meant Windows "Game mode" I've never even heard of it before, but it is OFF. In Windows "Graphic Settings"
"hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" is ON.
"graphics performance preference" is set to "Desktop app" which I think means non-DCH NVIDIA Control panel that I have installed.

>>106259234
I meant this, but I assume you're right that if its disabled on the monitor it should in theory be disabled in windows. wouldnt hurt to enable it on the monitor and on windows to test though.

>>106259202
>Because it's the truth?
You want it to be the truth
You're whole shtick is making sure AIBs get all the credit and glory for any innovation or even just making cards, but do absolutely anything to downplay their responsibility when shit goes wrong with things they ultimately sell.
You really stick out in here with that horseshit

>>106258035
Bf6 doesn't run so I need a new one.

>>106259250
Yeah, enabling it in the monitor opened up G-Sync option in NVIDIA Control panel.

Thanks for suggestion anon, I will test things with it off and on.

>>106259283
>>106259283
>>106259283

>>106259124
what you're actually seeing is broken MPOs
windows explorer is the MPO test for gpus

>>106259253
If AIBs were allowed to design balanced & safer 5090/4090 current delivery like the 3090 Ti's reference design, they would've done that to market their models as the safer cards.
People are recommending Astral 5090 just for the current monitoring feature, there's an unfulfilled market demand because NVIDIA doesn't allow that.

But go on with your schizo bullshit about me.

>>106259299
you need to tick the box in option 3 before it will be enabled FYI.

>>106259334
Yeah, I figured. Just confirmed the option is there and it's disabled for now.

>>106259343
also run ur screens at 75hz, 60hz drops frames in most movies because of rounding.

>>106259310
AIB bad nVidia good

>>106259376
I will test this but I remember it worked like ass back in Windows 7.

>>106259134
>Clearly Nvidia isn't that rigid in a single 12VHPWR
Because their own 4090 FE and 5090 FE can also deliver the maximum 600W power that's specced for the single 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 connector.

>>106259380
ESL-tier reading comprehension.
I'm blaming NVIDIA for not allowing AIBs to design boards that a safer than NVIDIA's FE cards.
Any 5090 that has better current balancing will instantly become the most popular & highly recommended model.
AIBs already know how to assemble one because they've used these boards for the 3090 Ti.

>>106258812
>PWM is the only thing on a monitor that can cause eye strain / fatigue
I'm not him btw, but this is not what the schizos on blurbusters say, they list 10000000's of different things that can cause it and it's a neverending rabbithole
and you didn't even list the most common one which is brightness apparently? tf

>>106258645
Like others say. might be high level schizophrenia, never heard of an update fucking you up
I did had mild eye strain trying out qdoled lately though, trouble focusing

>>106259124
>finished on intel guy is watching asmongo on 2x in PIP due to single screen not being able to afford a second screen
Poorfaggot... I Kneel

>>106259455
>Any 5090 that has better current balancing will instantly become the most popular
Not if you do it like Asus and charge 30 to 50% more.

>>106259849
The 5090 Astral's sold fine just with its current monitoring feature (no power delivery modifications).
People are willing to pay a premium for a safer 600W card.

>>106259877
I got one myself but there are upcoming things like the wireview pro 2 with ampere monitoring per pin or seasonics new feature and both have the advantage that they can emergency shut down from what I get without some software required on windows.

>>106259038
a 20tb HDD costs 200 dollars. an 8 tb SSD costs 400.

>>106260255
but hdds are fuck huge and weigh a shit ton
small external ssds are tiny and just require usb for power

>>106260370
Okay? I need significantly more storage space than what SSDs offer and HDDs are the best for me. I don't know what the fuck you're trying to argue.

>>106257982
if you're buying a PC it should be able to play games better than a console

>>106260703
The 5060 Ti 16GB is the better overall gaming card compared to a 9060 XT 16GB and a Series X / PS5.
Those console GPUs are a stripped-down laptop RX 6700 (no infinity cache).
