Is glossy that big of a deal? I've only used matte my entire life.
Is it impossible to have an overhead light turned on with the glossy panel?

[spoiler]When do the 480hz 4k panels come out?[/spoiler]

>>106317319
You don't realize how shitty glossy is until you see yourself and the room reflected in your screen. Especially when watching ghost videos but that's a different discussion.

>>106317364
but.. matte is also shit
maybe just ensure the room has dim lights

how big is this monitor

>>106317377
>dim lights
A well lit room is better for your eyes. I'm just going to get another IPS screen.

>>106317381
15.1" laptop
42" tv behind it

>>106317396
you can use a bias light behind the monitor so your pupils get relatively bright view reducing headache and fatigue, but not a lot is reflected from the monitor itself

>>106317364
Take care of yourself and your room and it won't be an eyesore.

>>106317364
Control the placement of lights and reflective surfaces and this isn't a big issue. Matte is always dogshit with no way to fix it.

>>106317400
42?
I could work with this

Do I need to direct die cool the 9950X3D or will a normal water block do the job?

>>106317408
Cool it with the projection batman, it's merely a distraction on the eyes.
>>106317413
My one glossy screen has decent colors but doesn't make up for the reflection. /pcbg/ trying to gaslight me into buying shit I don't want again.

>>106317433
no

>>106317212 (OP)
Stupid chud shipping times make me angry because I'm a child

I thought enabling physx was supposed to be disastrous on blackwell?
That's only like -32% to lows. That's not good but that's not making it unplayable or anything, probably better than I would have gotten any older gpu

>>106317433
a decent 360/420 AIO will work just fine. Its not Intel-aviv, the heating is not out of control when you OC or whatever.

>VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE BLOODLINES 2 - WORLD PREMIERE

what

i never knew this existed

>>106317529
>a decent 360/420 AIO
>AIO
lmao, no AIO slopcope is decent, I'll get a non-shit water block and use a loop as god indented.

>>106317519
only 32-bit games are affected
NVIDIA killed 32-bit CUDA and that hit physx as well

>>106317319
>Is glossy that big of a deal? I've only used matte my entire life.
side by side in a lit room you realize how bad an oled vs same tech glossy one looks, like the Samsung oleds, contrast and colors completely cucked due to light being dispersed all over it, looking like a typical lcd

>Is it impossible to have an overhead light turned on with the glossy panel?
no

>[spoiler]When do the 480hz 4k panels come out?[/spoiler]
when they make chips that can handle those pixles idk

>>106317364
not a problem on qdoled maybe on giant woled tvs where they are even more reflective, maybe? maybe

>>106317716
>waste endless hours setting up water loops, with the constant risk of a leak destroying your system due to chink connectors
>requires maintenance every few months that also take a long time to finish
>still degrades over years and will need a complete refit every upgrade
yeah no. Waste your own time if you like, but dont brag to me about advocating for the most expensive, time consuming, risky and pointless form of pc modding around.

>>106317895
an aio is the same thing you just cant change the coolant so it's guranteed to go bad.

>>106317943
Soem aios have a port so you can refill the coolant, the problem is that the pump will eventually die and you can't replace that.

Using anything but air cooling is a mental illness.

Is it retarded to build an am4 system in 2025 if you're on a tight budget?

>>106317970
>Soem aios have a port so you can refill the coolant
These AIOs, be Quiet's is a major example, come with a shorter 3-year warranty.
I'd still buy it for the refillability.

>>106318029
it might make sense if you already had an am4 and simply bought an x3d cpu to update it but otherwise you should go am5, or buy used system

>>106318029
You shouldn't build a new AM4 system. If you're on a tight budget, you'd want the PC to last as long as possible.
AM5's got more longevity.

>>106318029
not when you can get a 14600K with DDR4 for a similar price

>>106317716
based and shart pilled

Built my first PC in 15 years. It all went well, but when it's idling in Windows 10 the HDD led will never stop blinking every other second. Is this just a regular thing with NVMEs? I've never had dard drive disk activity leds blink in a constant pattern before, it was always somewhat erratic. MB is a B850M

Completed it on Intel Arc.

>>106318249
I think you can change what that LED is indicating in your BIOS? Maybe play around with that

>>106318249
Update the SSD firmware and check the TB written status from time to time.

Computer keeps fucking going into a restart loop a lot of times when I try to shut it down. It's been doing this for over a year now and I still have no fucking idea why because it's impossible to troubleshoot and Windows won't give any sort of proper log for it. Drives me nuts.

>>106318441
How old is your system? Is your DRAM stable?

>>106318470
Two years. I think my DRAM's stable, I haven't messed with it at all.

It seems like you can only use glossy in a dark room unless you want to see a mirror reflection of yourself though?

your underwear

What's a good option for low power/noise GPU in 2025? I have some salvage parts I want to put together but I still need a GPU for more video output, and some general HW acceleration, but not for graphically intense games or anything. I have an old 1070 laying around and performance wise that would probably be fine, but I want something a little more efficient, up to date, and preferably quiet.

>samsung drives the only ones that survived the windows ssd massacre update

not looking good for WD and the rest

>>106318802
I don't wear anything around the house most of the time

>>106318805
5070 is up there for most power efficient gpu

>>106318815
Funny, everyone on here used to tell me Samsung drives were the worst and I shouldn't have bought them.

What for?

>>106318815

Change your motherboard for a B850 in matx size.You can at least give yourself access to PCIE 5.0 stuff if you want to upgrade later without switching motherboard.

>>106318747
I'm a dumbfuck but it seems like it might actually be the Bus/Interconnect reported by processor core error. Haven't changed hardware at all, in fact it could have more to do with the fact that I haven't bothered ever updating my BIOS but who knows.

>>106318870
it appears to me that hes making the right choice not picking some cucked piece of shit hdd and youre steering him in the wrong direction

>>106318870
buy used HGST ultrastar drives, ideally 10TB ones
get 4 (or 5 if you want 1 spare drive in case one breaks) of the same kind
use 4 drives in a raid5 array for redundancy and speed
if you want to, encrypt them with LUKS
now you have 30TB of storage, if a drive ever fails (unlikely but possible, theyre used drives after all) you won't lose any data as long as it's just 1 single drive and not 2 at once. replace the drive and rebuild your raid array, done.
HGST ultrastar drives are very fast, and used ones are CHEAP. 80-120$ for 10TB is pretty good, or at least that's what i paid for mine on ebay.
if you use windows you're probably out of luck, because raid on windows is a humiliation ritual.

>>106318773
Make this 16:10 or fuck off

>>106318788
I played in 4k on my 3060. 95% of my library ran well.

>those bezels
such future!
>>106318960
oh and i forgot to mention, stay very far away from SMR (shingled magnetic recording) drives.
if you don't think that saving 5% of the price is worth it in return for having garbage unreliable shit performance drives that have to rewrite 4M just to change 1 byte, you want CMR (conventional magnetic recording) drives.
SMR drives have overlapping bits arranged like shingles to save space on the platter, you get higher data density and its cheaper to manufacture, but its less reliable, slower, and will give you garbage performance ESPECIALLY with raid arrays or encryption.

>>106318773
Apple is ahead of them by making macOS look like dogshit on anything that is not a 5K monitor (Macbooks notwithstanding)

>>106318992
16:10 is the ideal monitor resolution. Make it 32"-48" and 16:10.

Good ITX cases in 2025?
hard mode: no riser

>>106319009
true, only beaten by 4:3.
also why are you calling it 16:10 instead of 8:5?

>not having a NAS
What's your excuse?

>>106319030
I have a nas but all the drives on it are full. ;_;

>>106317364
Just don't have a lamp on behind you and have the monitor setting above eye level. Ez pz

>>106318986
I'm playing something as basic as Elite dangerous on my 3080 and it drops down to 30 fps at 1440 in busy cities.

>>106319030
I'm stupid and poor so I don't know how to make one and can't afford it even if I did.

>>106319149
Anyone who tells you they're "playing in 4k" is upscaling from 1080p to get decent frame rates. Even the people who own a 4090/5090.

>>106319030
I can't figure out a built I like for a 4HDD nas. I would have a 24 TB one if I could.

>>106319183
The vast majority of games can be easily be played at 4K even for cards weaker than a 90 series. It's post-2020 AAA games (and a few from before then) that need upscaling.

okay so framegen isnt a meme if the game is caked in TAA (which is every game now unfortunately)

>>106319216
You mean dlss, frame gen is still a meme.

>>106319216
it just works if you use optiscaler or lossless scaling

From being a laptop user for 15 yeas to this build

does anyone here have experience gaming on a mini pc? My old computer died on me and I don't want to spend a lot of money to buy a new one.
As long as I can run games in at least 720p, I don't care if I have to scale down the resolution. I don't even play very graphically intensive games usually. Mainly hearthstone, the bazaar, WoW, LoL, csgo, overwatch, etc.
I'm in the US, I guess i would want to spend less than 800 bucks, and my monitor is 1920x1080

9950x3d arrives tomorrow, my last component

>>106319790
An APU should handle that just fine, 800 is more than enough

I want a 24 inch, 1080p, IPS, non-matte monitor that's also useable for gaming for less than $150
WHY is this so fucking difficult to find?

anons I've been infected by the consoom. I am thinking about making a new build just to separate hobby/work pc and gaming pc.

SSD prices have been dropping lately. 4TB 990 PRO hit $270, 4TB SN7100 is $210. Think they'll drop more for black friday? I've also been infected with the consoom, but I want full m2 storage so I can finally ditch my old 2.5"s

>>106319030
I've been seeing this shit pop up on my tiktok. i've hit the cybersec and homelab pipeline for some reason

>>106320043
Wait, this is a terrible time to build. Two years from now will be perfect timing.

I’m wanting to get a completely new PC sometime next year. I’m going to wait until I have $5000 to $8000 saved up. What will I be able to get with that amount?
Pic unrelated

>>106320101
a PC that would be double overkill for whatever you'll be doing that's for sure. Might as well put that money into better things like... stocks

How's a double intelaviv build fare on linux?

>>106320101

bro you only 3k tops for a PC, put the rest into silver.

>>106320226
This isn't true wtf are you talking about? Never heard of cyber monday?

ASUS TUF 5070ti OC or PRIME 5080? both $999 usd currently

>>106320311
If they are the same price why would you not get the stronger one?

>>106320311
prime 5080 of course

>>106320311
slightly better cooler or 15% performance? seems obvious

>>106320311
The tuf 5070ti can be substituted for a prime 5070 ti non OC, and then undervolted you'll get the same or around the same performance FOR LESS.

you can then use the money you would've spent on the 5080 on something else.

don't fall for
>I NEED MORE CONSOOM

>>106320311
Are you retarded? Always buy 5080 instead of 5070ti

>>just to learn DisplayPort cables are very sensitive to interference and mine was running right next to 8 power bricks
I learned this from researching countless OLED monitor/tv "Black out" posting
could be the reason could also be other things, but seems like a possibility

>>106320311
there's a reason why the 5080 isnt listed in the OP. price to performance and all other things considered, it's not that much better than a 5070ti for hundreds more.

I remember there was some retard on /v/ bragging about upgrading from a 5080 to a 5090.

what a dumbass.

>>106321068
Why didn't he just get a 5090 in the first place

>>106321068
Are you assuming he kept the 5080? What does it matter?

>>106321068
45% more performance is a decent upgrade

>>106320550
Let me guess, Nvidia card?
>it's ALL user error

>>106318895
bullshit ayymd shill. even the 5090 is nowhere close to taking full advantage of pcie 5.0

40 series bros?

>>106321068
makes sense, 2x perf
and maybe he didn't get 5090 on release

>>106321208
Nope, 7900XTX (on Debian stable).

>>106321225
4080(S)/4090 owners are still good, it's just the 12GB VRAM suckers who got played.

is 4060 ti enough for 1440p 180hz gaming?

>>106321208
>anon already diagnosed it as a cable issue
>try to make it into a brand war anyway
bro

>>106321239
What I'm saying is that all the BLACK SCREEN NO VIDEO could perhaps be all user hardware setup error instead.

>>106321236
Not if you want to max every slider and hit 180FPS. Should be good for 80-100 with judicious use of settings and DLSS however.

>>106321284
80-100 WITH dlss? thats insane

>>106321294
It is what it is. Devs are now factoring upscaling in to their performance budgets.

Is 4k good yet? i heard its easy with DLSS now and looks better than 4k native

>>106321294
mhwilds with that card is like 1080p60 at medium settings WITH framegen
it's just going to get worse in the future

You did not qualify if you meant AAA, AA or Indie pixelslop. Obviously you can't do AAA Ultra settings with a midrange card and expect high raw framerates. If you can adjust to hit 90 FPS you can turn on framegen+1 to get it to 180, though you probably will limit it lower like 176 to work better with adaptive sync. Anything less than AAA will be easier to reach 180 duh.

Found your issue

so I tried to make a superultra budget build someone, and I bought a mxrt 7600 which is a Firepro w7100 with a medical imaging specialized bios for like $10 and I'm trying to flash it over to to OG bios, but the latest version of amdvbflash that supports overriding the SSID mismatch doesn't work on my windows 10 install and throws me an error about win8 not supporting security features on my machine or some bullshit...

Is there any other software like it that might be good to use?

how strong are supers usually? currently using a 3070, was thinking of getting a regular 4070ti super 5070ti but since the supers are in the horizon, is 5070 super a high enough bump or should i still aim for a 5070 ti super

>>106322151
we don't really know
it could be like 1% or margin of error difference

>>106322151
>how strong are supers usually?
the super is not necessarily a performance bump, it's just an excuse for Nvidia to sell a new SKU with a price correction without having to officially discount the other models. This generation is only expected to have minor VRAM adjustments compared the base models.

Why are laptops getting 16:10 screens but computer monitors are still largely stuck at 16:9?

Is AM5 really DoA? I was thinking of getting a 7700 for my new PC, but damn, is AMD really giving up on that socket in just 3-4 years? Their precious socket lasted what felt like nearly a decade, no?
I just want something that's good today and with a solid upgrade path 3-5 years down the line.

>>106322224
Two more generations is hardly what I'd call DOA.

>>106322151
There is no usually. The current set of expected supers are:
>5070 with all rendering units on die activated (perfect bin), about 4-5% better
>5070 Ti just increasing memory from 16 to 24, possibly factory OC for a small performance increase
>5080 ditto

>>106322231
/vg/ niggers told me next gen will be a new socket and I came here to confirm. So if I get a B650M mobo today (ASRock), I should in theory be able to upgrade to a 2027-gen chip when I need to?

Gold is overpriced and Red/Pro is junk. Red Plus up to 6tb is the only sane choice at WD, plus the purples for cameras.

>>106318960
10tb WD/HGST drives use air and they reach up to 70C without active cooling, they are horrible. If you go for used you might luck into the helium filled original drives, but even then you have to put up with the random clicking they do which is insanely annoying.

Last time I checked the best drives for raid anything was Toshiba MG10, only downside is that they are pretty loud (7200rpm, 10 platters).
larger MAMR/HAMR platters cannot come soon enough.

>>106322267

gonna build an AMD Linux gaming PC, thoughts on these parts? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PK9GZc

Originally I wanted an R7 5800X3D cause apparently it has better linux support but those are sold out everywhere where I live. Other than that the other only minor issue is the GPU is Gigabyte and they apparently have a bad rep but no other choices around me. Also still need to pick a case.

>Muh 20GB VRAM longevity doesn't mean much if the GPU chip is the performance bottleneck
You've got nothing to upgrade on the Radeon side, and it's not a good idea to buy a new gaming card every generation.

You mean B850? You don't need to switch the motherboard if you're comfortable with using the CPU-less BIOS flash feature of the motherboard.
Both AMD & Intel DDR5 PC builders should be updating the BIOS to the latest stable version, there were some CPU microcode updates with memory compatibility improvements & safer voltage limits.

Samsung drive supremacy

>>106324055
You were better off just buying a 4080 if you were going to spend this much money on a video card (even after accounting for the value of that used 7900 XT).

>>106323891
It varies on the title but that's the beauty of it you can customize the framegen and create profiles too and it all works instantly with no reboot unlike games that offer no control and require reboot to apply.

>>106324107
>Samsung drive supremacy
They haven't tested Samsung's DRAMless options like the 990 Evo or Evo Plus.
Ironically, Windows blocks people with older WD/Sandisk firmware from getting this bad update.

>>106324101
probably because nvidia demanded it desu
but since its limited to 'only' 800W, the amperage per pin would be 67% as high since there's now double the 12V lines as before which should mitigate a lot of the melting risk. the gpu should also have the per-pin current monitoring on the 12v-2x6 connector to let you know if anything is up

>>106323891
Fixed x2
In-game fps cap half your monitors refresh rate
Flowscale 50-65
DXGI capture
Queue Target 1
Sync Mode Off (Vsync on globally in driver and Vsync off in-game)
Max Frame Latency 2
HDR support if HDR display

this is what I use on my AMD card and it looks better than afmf2 and in-game framegen.

>>106321068
It literally has 2x the vram, the whole snajoo was njudea gimping the 5080 to 16gb when the 30 and 40 90s had 24

>>106324162
The x870e hero btf only has one 12V connector with max 600w delivery to the GPU. They mentioned the matrix can go up to 800w but for this you need to use btf and a regular cable if this is possible?

>>106324014
yeah it seems especially bad on dramless phison drives that completely rely on HMB
it seems to irreparably corrupt partitions when you exhaust the HMB

>>106324217
yes you can use the regular cable and BTF connector at the same time

>>106324217
that seems to be the case. for legal reasons, i doubt asus would want to allow 800W operation on only a single 12vhpwr connector when pci-sig has only certified it for 600W.
plus, their promo video said that connecting the cable raises the power draw

>>106324154
WD/Sandisk already deployed a firmware update for this months ago. The workaround until the drive maker makes a patch is disable HMB in Windows.

>>106324055
>I may "upgrade" to a 5070Ti/9070XT just for DLSS/FSR4
DLSS4 still has some imperfections that are noticeable when you're just playing games (ghosting/smeary trails).
Some people are upset NVIDIA hasn't released any DLSS transformer model upgrades.
FSR4, you can test it on RX 7000 cards with Linux mods.

>I don't care about longevity as long as I can get through the gen as I upgrade every 2 years anyway
In that case, in at least the United States, the 5070ti is objectively the better card.
$50 more, equal in raster, slightly faster in light rt, significantly faster in heavy rt with a really good iq advantage coming not only from DLSS 4 but ray reconstruction.
FSR4 is compared to dlss 4 only because of the games that had official support early (think that list is still small), overall it's probably more of a dlss 3 competitor. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse. You will have to mod it in to most games, which will usually but not always work without issue.
DLSS 4 the list of games that support the app override is long, but even if you have to edit the whitelist or do it manually just regular dlss I've never seen any issue. Framegen override (to a game not on the whitelist) you can sometimes see issues upgrading the model, don't know why.
Framegen is a lot better on Nvidia, especially if you're starting from like 40-60ish fps. I've never seen fsr or lossless fg look good (comparatively) unless I'm starting from like 100+
I would also encourage you to stop upgrading every gen, thing aren't moving fast enough for the mid range to make that worth it.

the 5070ti is the best card everywhere but I am debating if it is worth over 10% more than the 9070XT. Probably because DLSS just werks but AMDs driver software is definitely better than Nvidias

2 = 64 MB buffer (default size),
3 = firmware-controlled buffer size.

>>106324942
what i lose with keeping it off for now?
As i said the WD SN770 drive is 99% exclusivey used by the OS only
My games and other big size files all go to the SN 850X 4TB

>>106318773
27" what is this a screen for ants?

>>106324959
Slower operation of the SSD, increased wear on the NAND flash.

>>106325032
>increased wear on the NAND flash.
this sound more worrysome than i should worry about isn't it?

>>106324779
I buy whatever doesn't suck. Samsung, WD, Crucial. I bought a seagate one time as a backup because it was like 22 tb? for cheap - I may regret that one.

>>106325047
HMB is how DRAMlet ssd "emulate" DRAM
Just like the issue doesn't show up outside intensive writing the NAND also shouldn't wear out when you aren't doing any writing
if the SSD has it's own DRAM it doesn't use HMB to begin with

>>106325047
It's not a big deal for regular users/gamers until a fix is released
How much data was your OS drive writing every day/week?

>>106324942
>hmb turned off turns your ssd into a hdd
god damn

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I dunno which gpu to get I already got 9800x3d and x870 but I want a fucking great gpu I could buy a fucking 5090 but it feels like an absolute waste of money considering it'll be outdated in less than 3 years..... I am gonna slam a 3070 into the 9800x3d when it gets delivered. Btw I got the 3070 during convid shit so I paid $1400 for that mid shit

>>106325096
>How much data was your OS drive writing every day/week?
Does it count installing games on the SN850X ssd or download some video in the other partition?
Or running ffmpeg, always on another drive, to make some webms?
Otherwise near to 0 daily i suppose on the OS partion itself

>>106325079
yeah i just noticed the drives that are good in all cases also have dram
inb4 the dramless samsung 990 evo/plus has issues too

>>106325124
>good in all cases also have dram
except for the SN7100*

>>106325109
>Btw I got the 3070 during convid shit so I paid $1400 for that mid shit

>>106325109
You could always just pick up a 5070ti for now and see what happens next generation if you want more. If you get lucky and nab a 6090 during the initial rush then you can sell your 5070ti during the drought.

>>106325135
the SN770 of that anon is also unconfirmed as there is no actual test report
Assume that untested dramless SSD are affected

>>106325142
wait until you hear about the anons who paid $800 for a 3060

>>106325109
I paid less for my 3080. You messed up.

>>106325164
I think you got lucky since I remember vividly that 3080 were about $2000 near the height of the mining craze

>>106325109
>Btw I got the 3070 during convid shit so I paid $1400 for that mid shit
fucking retarded lol

>>106325172
NTA, I was still using a GTX 980 until early '22. I wasn't going to pay over $500 for the 3070.

Anyone know if this card has sag issues? I can't use the support it comes with because I have an hdd mounted literally right under the gpu and the support is magnetic.

I might have to get a 3rd party bracket or something

>>106324890
>>106324877
I'll just get the 4070ti then since it will probably last me another 6 years or so (hopefully)

>>106325205
If the card comes with an anti-sag support, it has sag issues.

>>106325142
>>106325191
I must be thank you for disclosing this. After all I knew I was being scammed but I got the money and really wanted it so I had to consoooooom.
>>106325148
Hmmm I'll be honest I've been looking art the 5070ti but I saw the super leak so was conflicted on waiting or not... It's "just more vram" but if you need it you'll never know until you do.

>>106325246
Yike many typos look at you fucking corn pockets fuming

>>106325260
Too much alc I've been murdered by myself

>>106325246

I can kind of relate because I was making more money than I knew what to do with during covid, spent like $7000 on a laptop + expensive monitor setup (along with many other pointless luxury purchases)

What is your opinion on him?

>>106325295
Who is this sissy wyte boy? MLID? I would fucking destroy him, both sexually and spiritually.

>>106325295
He faked it until he's somewhat made it.
Now he has some sources (retailers, some system integrators, & maybe a few indie game devs).

>>106325214
well shit.
I can't really use any of the ones that rely on not having a ton of hard drives in the bottom of your case.
The clearance with a 3 slot card is gonna be really fucking tight too.

Need to use a horizontal one I guess

>>106325353
Broooo

>>106325295
he has real sources since he got nearly everything about raptorlake right but his overly optimistic interpretations of early leaks like the arrowlake leaks often gets him laughed at

Why is no one outside of a discord (discord is for gay people) talking about the RTX remix mods and the contest? They're pretty good and totally unplayable on gaydeon

Report the package as lost? Don't file a complain with the shipping company under any circumstances since that's your retailer's responsibility

>>106325435
I'm going home for lunch to check first

>>106325246
>5070ti
You're probably hitting performance limits before you're hitting vram limits on it, but if you want to wait then you should. I picked mine up because everything else was sold out and now I want 4k all the time so I've been thinking about grabbing one of these $2k asus tuf models popping up. We'll see, probably just wait though.

>>106325353
Mom picked it up?

>>106325468
I live by myself kek

>>106325460
is 16gb enough for 1440p gamin do you think? If so I think I'll just get the 800$ish 5070ti and not bother waiting for the super which will probably cost 200 dollars more

>>106325452
Yeah they may have just left it in a secret location. I had a driver to that to me when my friend shipped me some weed years ago and I had a heart attack until I found it stashed somewhere. Walkup apartment building too kek

>>106325506
NIGGA STOLE YOUR CPU LOL

>>106325509
Yes, that's enough for 1440p. I don't believe I had any vram issues running cyberpunk at 4k either.

>>106325513
It says it was signed by me so I think they just left that shit in the mail box even though it says signature required. Never buying outside of Amazon again

>>106325513
proof?

>>106325353
Get a stay at home wife retard

Since they know about this critical windows bug that destroys SSDs how long before the fix? 6 months?

>>106325533
9950x3d is the stay at home wife

>>106325542
It happened last year to the SN770 too
Not sure it its fixed yet

Just another reason to distrust dramless ssds since it relies on microsoft (and their jeets) to not screw up your partitions

>partitions
>ssds
What yall niggas doin?

>>106325205
Literally take a piece of wood and fucking cut it to fit

Yes.

>>106325665
Rumors are end of this year.
https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-super-rumored-to-appear-before-2026
Normally I'd say that's optimistic and a release around CES '26 is more realistic but vanilla cards are hitting MSRP or dropping below it in cases right now which probably wouldn't be happening if they were still going to be held back until next year..

https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-intros-mpg-271qr-qd-oled-x50-gaming-monitor-with-500hz-built-in-npu-and-full-displayport-2-1
>The main feature of the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 is MSI’s OLED Care 3.0 system. Using an actual built-in NPU-based AI Care Sensor and an always-on CMOS sensor, the monitor checks for user presence every 0.2 seconds. If no user is detected, it can automatically power down or trigger panel protection measures, reducing energy use and extending panel lifespan. My Alienware QD-OLED monitor would definitely appreciate this feature, because Windows monitor sleep function often doesn’t work.

>For those who use their systems for more than 16 hours, MSI has also extended the Panel Protect interval from 16 hours to 24 hours. Importantly, all presence detection is processed locally on the monitor itself, with no data sent to the cloud, ensuring full user privacy.
Interesting tech that will compete with ASUS's OLED proximity sensor. I wonder if these sorts of panel protection features will become standard next-gen (seems like all the OEMs have a reason to standardize them to reduce warranty claims/maximize panel lifetime).

I only have my case left to buy

>>106325709
guess I'll wait then. If the supers come out this year the non super will (probably) drop in price and (hopefully) give me more options. Getting a 24gb card should last me a damn long time. if not, a 16gb non super will be a substantial upgrade over my 1080 and I can sell that to recoup some cost

>>106325353
IT LIVES they just dropped that shit off without a signature and the wrong time frame

>>106325767
My advice is to watch for firesale deals from retailers during Black Friday if they are also anticipating SUPER cards to come into stock very soon and want to move inventory before then we'll see heavy discounts. Only the 5070 w/12GB of VRAM is really on the knife edge of being not worth it long-term @ 1440p, the vanilla 5070 Ti/5080 are well-equipped stock. If there's a really good sell (on those upper tier models especially) pulling the trigger early won't have you miss anything. If you're targeting something around $400-500 the 5070 Super will not only have more VRAM but extra CUDA cores for a performance boost there too.

>>106325863
Nice, though for such a pricey package if they were supposed to get a signature maybe let them know?

>>106325748
The asus one fucking sucks and would just turn the monitor off while I was sitting there, I thought my shit was broke until I realized it was that sensor

Guys just buy the msrp 50s. My ass told me that theyre cutting supply late october eary november
