>News & Rumors
Microsoft Windows 11 24H2 update may cause SSD failures; DRAMless SSDs are more vulnerable.
If you have a potentially vulnerable SSD, revert Windows update, disable automatic Windows update, & use Registry Editor to set 64 MB HMB allocation policy (or disable HMB).
https://www.neowin.net/news/report-microsofts-latest-windows-11-24h2-update-breaks-ssdshdds-may-corrupt-your-data/

RTX 50 Super: might launch in Q4 '25, 24GB VRAM for 5070 Ti & 5080 Super, 18GB for 5070 Super.

>Omissions
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).

>Product Notice
Gigabyte RTX 50 & RX 9000 video cards: thermal gel has QC issues, Gigabyte claims only early production batches were affected.
https://www.igorslab.de/en/update-on-thermal-putty-on-gigabyte-graphics-cards-after-further-storage-oil-separation-to-an-alarming-extent-and-silence-as-a-strategy/

Avoid updating Gigabyte motherboard's RGB controller firmware, as it can disable board features such as Q-Flash Plus.

>>106350078 (OP)
I too builded a PC.

I'm boughtening an intel chip

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.

>>106349781
Well I got in it, just lined it up and used force. Its powered on, but now its not in display adapters so I'm plugged into my motherboard for now searching for solutions. Was on the latest drivers on 3080 but it won't even let me install 5090 drivers unless it detects it.

>So, after some stories that surfaced online about the melting issues of the 12VHPWR power cables for the RTX 5090 and the RTX 4090, I’ve decided to check the one we’ve been using these two years for the RTX 4090. So, what has happened to that power cable? Has it melted? Let’s find out.
>So, here are some screenshots from the power cable. As you can see, it has signs of degradation. The plastic around one connector has been slightly melted. So yes, the melting issues are real.
Enjoy the slow melt. One day a year or two from now you won't get display and you'll check your cable and see pic related.

AMDrones really call buying a CPU a victory for Radeon lmao

>>106350242
AMD GPUs talk big about VRAM but always end up using 2GB more memory anyway LMAO

Radeon Sisters hold the line!
Just one more thread and the (singular) DLSS Schizo itt will surely be gone forever

>>106350253
That's SAM for you, more dependent on VRAM because Radeon GPUs tend to have less L1 & L2 cache.
RDNA5 is supposedly increasing the on-die cache, probably to help it (and the gaming consoles/handhelds) run more power efficiently.

how many of you still have a drive bay at the front of your case with a goddamn disc drive in it?

Radeon Sisters (actually male) keep it up! A few more states will recognize us as female!

>>106350294
that's kinda queer of you

>>106350156
NOOOOOOOO
YOU HAVE TO BUY A 9070XT

>>106350276
my case doesn't have a drive bay but I would like a disc drive. Any recs for external drives?

>>106350186
I have a temp sensor glued to my picrel premium plug and it never reaches even only 40°C. How is this supposed to melt anything? All wires in the connector just need to have contact over a large enough surface to conduct power without heat building up. If you use poor quality adapters and bend the cord near the connector by closing the side panel of cases that are not wide enough (go big or go melted) then it's your own stupid fault.

Nvidiots are so fucking stupid. Everyone knows that the red ones are always faster, even kids know this.

time to frankenstein some more bullshit together and sell it for $1600 to some normgroid on fb marketplace, I did this like a month ago with another computer I found at a pawn shop for 800 and flipped it for 1600

>>106350188
It's got the required BIOS to prevent this. I also don't crank up the PBO Scalar that increases stress on the silicon with higher voltages. I recommend to leave this at factory level.

AMD has been using the money from sales of ryzen processors to nvidiots such as yourself to buy patents, hire industry veterans etc all for the development of their next UDNA architecture that will destroy njudea. You dumbass novidoes have been funding your own destruction this entire time without realizing it.

>>106350223
So far everything is working perfectly fine here. *knocks on the wood of his PA602 Wood Edition Metal Panel case*

Whoo updating bios and getting into a repair loop. System restore didn't work either. Boot order is fine. I guess I'll reseat the memory and try cmos after.

but everyone's got that bitch

>>106350459
Except UDNA/RDNA5's just projected to be a catch-up design that focuses on improving RT & AI performance.
UDNA isn't great news for gamers like you; it means gaming GPU optimizations will lose out to designs that improve AI training & inference performance.

>>106350459
Isn't UDNA supposed to be more of a blackwell equivalent than anything else?

Is it worth getting a 9060XT over the 5060TI for 100 bucks less?

>>106350585
The low to midrange UDNA APU die in the ps6 will be faster than the rtx 5080 in rt and pathtracing so no it isnt just catchup

>>106350289
> theres gonna be a double cache revision
I will get that if it ever becomes available in the uncertain future. For the time being the 9950X3D is the very best there is for my purpose.
> 4090 for that sweet fire hazard
You fell for a meme! The temp sensor glued to my connector says it's lukewarm.
> assrock
The Nova board is still the best X870E deal there is. And I got it for just €247 last year. BIOS problems have been solved. If people still burn their CPU then it's because they crank up PBO Scalar and/or got unusually brittle silicon.
> the psu is some dogshit C tier atx3.0 right?
No, it's a rock solid beQuiet Dark Power Pro 11 that I already used in my previous PC.

That sounds literally impossible, link to the "leak" you're referencing?

>>106350619
You have two choices. You can buy the better price to performance product. Or you can just buy nvidia anyway then crying on here and reddit about how the gpu market is a monopoly and its so unfair :(
Simple as that really

>>106350512
Yeah, it's still the best looking case on the market. I wish the XL was first, but I'm 150% happy with my basic North.

Not with the projected 20% raster improvement.

What's the best miniled I can get in Benelux? The one in the OP isn't available for me.

>>106350619
If you don't need CUDA or other NVIDIA stuff, get the 9060 XT.

>>106350722
Maybe one of TCL's with over 1K local dimming zones.
miniLED monitor market is still maturing.
Samsung Neo G7 or G8, but these are a bit older.

>>106350726
Guess i will get the 9060XT, i am just worried about driver timeouts like i had back in the day when i last had an ATI card which was around 2008-2010.

Hey gang, looking to see what I can do with this rig, natural yuropoor

i5-9400F, 16gb RAM, Gigabyte Z370P D3, RX580 8gb, AOC 25G3ZM

Bought it for like 500ish a year ago. Do I bother upgrading (if you could even call it that) or do I scrap/sell and go for a new one? I'd be practically capped at 1000€. Any builds in mind?

>>106350792
It can happen, but it might be a system config issue.

im so fucking tired /g/bros. picking a GPU is absolutely gay this year. I just want stable 1440p on my 34in ultrawide. 9070xt vs 5070ti bull shit. fuck anything beyond those. and then all these brands tack on their brand tax because they added some dumb shit which breaks or makes the card better.

Asus is really going all out.

My existence drive arrived today. Resilvered the array and it wasn’t as clicky as I wanted. Are the WD drives better or do I need to go full scale HGST for the pitter patter ASMR?

>>106350815
this is simply due to the fact that you are a broke boy. If you had money you would simply buy the best and most powerful version of the card you want.

>>106350895
>existence
fuck now everyone knows I'm a dirty phoneposter... no...

>>106350815
I'm in the same boat currently. I have my PC assembled actually, but no GPU slotted in due to the fact that supers are around the corner. Kind of dumb on my part to build and buy the pieces right now, but I can cope by saying I have it now.

>>106350407
if I was being jewish I'd ask for msrp on the parts or even more than that, the way I see it if everything works as it should and they don't care enough to do their own research and find one for less or build it themselves I say it's fair game given I'm the one taking the time to find the parts with the largest potential return on investment while still staying under msrp and putting it all together

Where exactly are the options for global DLSS? I have the latest driver but the app doesn't show those specific options under Global. Beta / experimental feature? That's turned off.

>>106350959
You need to get the beta version of the NVIDIA App.

they announced it they haven't launched it yet

>>106350959

>>106350964

Alright I ended up having to reinstall Windows to get past the auto repair loop. Weirdly enough when I booted back up afterwards it prompted me to boot from the volume with Windows I just did, or the fucking old one that somehow works completely fine.

Lip-bu Tan sounds like a 1980s action movie villain.

>>106351498
Samefag alot but I "fixed" it by doing......absolutely fucking nothing? So by the end of this I now have a windows old folder in my other drive so fuck me.

When I use msconfig to make that Windows installation my primary, it fucks up again trying to boot off it. Kinda want to make sure that is the primary just because its the fastest NVME I have and I can tell this PC runs a bit slower to boot than it did before. Any way to do this besides straight up doing a full clean of both drives, cause at the very least I still have all my old shit on that other drive that I can copy to this one.

I have been looking at the info on the top of the OP this should be the correct RAM right? https://www.amazon.com.be/dp/B0D4NLSP87/ref=olp-opf-redir?aod=1&ie=UTF8&condition=new&tag=tweakersbe203-21&creative=380345&creativeASIN=B0D4NLSP87&linkCode=asm&th=1

Thats what i have so far, i think going for a 750W-800W PSU is the safe bet in case i want to upgrade the GPU in a few years and as for the motherboard the only thing i dont care about is having built in wifi.

>>106351756
2070 super is roughly equivalent/negligibly slower than the 5050 but with significantly worse RT and Transformer DLSS/RR (you say native only but I feel like I should still point this out) performance.
On it being worth buying 40 series it has to come at a pretty good discount. The 4070 super is usually compared to a 5070 (with the 5070 coming in a bit faster) but you can see uplifts upwards to like 30%+ in a few games. Newer architecture is probably worth spending a bit more for alone.
If the difference between the 4070 super and the 5070 is only like $50 (which last I checked was the average) I would just buy the new card.
5070 could also be (probably a closer equivalent) compared to a 3090ti, faster (sometimes significantly so even before any rt or dlss stuff) at 1080p and 1440p, gap usually closed or favoring a 3090ti at 4k.
Don't hate on framegen until you've used it yourself. Not comparable to fsr and lossless scaling.


Could use this to kind of get a rough idea of where you are now but I don't see any current gen midrange card on here, feel like it's always getting harder to find things that I want through google :

5060ti or 5070ti I think would be the preferred picks if you care about ai (16gb vs 12gb) and don't want to spend $2000 but I have no idea how performance on that lines up. Everything I typed up above is looking at video gaymes only.
Can also check out 3dmark scores, but at some point they stopped being useful for amd vs nvidia comparisons and it tends to scale up the stack better than most video games ever will.

It's so weird that the US Gov is literally Intel's biggest shareholder now. But they were giving them billions for basically nothing so I guess that's something.

No. Build a real desktop and hook up a portable monitor and keyboard to your phone.
You don't need a gaming laptop to take notes for your community college classes.
If you have an actual need for a laptop you probably also make enough money to buy an actually decent one.

What's probably more useful is google the games you want to play + "TechPowerUp"

I've just been exposed to the miserable world of ITX/SFF when trying to plan out a living room gaming PC.
If an iGPU is enough, then great. I can order one of the many cheap and tiny chinese "mini PCs". But an iGPU isn't quite enough, not yet. Except the ryzen AI max, which is too expensive.
If I have the space for atx/m-atx, then great. I can put together a great value build with used parts. But I've already tried a cheapo matx case and it's just way too big, looks like shit and there's nowhere to hide it.
That means I want a compact console-style case with ITX, SFX, low-profile GPU and all that shit and it's so painful. It basically means paying out the asshole for parts that are just barely fast enough.

Honestly tempted to just buy an old gaming laptop on ebay to serve as a bizarro HTPC.

Meshify if you care about squeezing 2% more performance. The other ones if you want something that looks nice.

should I just pull the gun on an ultrawide OLED? the market seems to be full of them because apparently its the new hot thing. Be so for real with me, maintaining them shouldnt be that much of a problem if I take the preventative steps?

>>106353119
Absolutely not, ultrawide is a meme as it is only useful if you play lots of ARPG's or RTS games. Being oled you are just racing towards burn in at 88mph even worse than a normal one.

Too good to be true? Found on Aliexpress.

>>106353190
There is absolutely no way that is legitimate.

>>106352640
both have probably become a bit of a cartel and only compete with each other at a superficial level
having a truckload of VRAM would be great regardless of raster performance, but Amada Kokoro's company won't let people have nice things either

>>106353119
sounds like a terrible idea
get two separate monitors, with one of them being IPS so that only the other one is in a sorry state in a few years
pixel degradation would also be especially noticeable on an ultrawide due to all the 16:9 content you'll be engaging with

for OLED, it seems obvious to me that one should wait for at least 3x more years for the tech to develop better, the idea of buying a monitor with a literal lifespan before it degrades with burn-in seems crazy to me. 3 years = 1-2 generations of improvement, 4 to be safe. Just buy a nice QHD budget ultrawide.

I recommend AOC, MSI or viewsonic because they all got decent stands and are solid price for performance. Acer are aids with a dogshit warranty dept, they're on my blacklist so i wont ever recommend them.

The cheaper ones usually have an earlier QD-OLED panel with less dense sub-pixels that are also more prone to burn-in.

and
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+RX+9070&id=5958

so, after 8 years, you get only 37% performance improvement, and extra 5gb, for the same price.

>The Pop Air is okay-ish but it suffers a bit thermally due to the unremovable PSU shroud.
Explain. I can't figure out what that has to do with thermals. Isolating the PSU improves thermals. And the shroud isn't what limits you to two 140mm front fans, that's the drive bays you want. I'm confused.
It's a good case, btw. I have a CAD workstation in one at the office. Nice to have a disc drive just in case we need to read some ancient file or get something from a weird client on a CD.

I have a Ryzen 5 7600X, RX 7800XT 16GB, and 32GB DDR5 RAM in my PC. I'm looking at potentially buying a new one, and giving this one to my wife so she can play "proper" games.

The PC I'm looking at is Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RX 9070XT 16GB, 32GB DDR5 RAM.

Would that be a significant improvement on my current system, or would the improvements be marginal? I game on a 180Hz 1080p monitor, with a second 60Hz monitor for stuff running on the side.

>>106354514
on some rt games youd see big jump
x3d cpus make some games less stuttery with better 1% lows

The 2x is before rt and any upscaling.
With realistic settings on a 4k monitor it's probably nearing 4x. Framegen, maybe we're approaching 8x the framerate or 16x on Nvidia.

>RX 9070XT
It's ~40% better in raster, but with the 5070ti hitting MSRP ($750) regularly the AMD equivalent at $720 (instead of the $600 bullshit MSRP that I am still mad about) becomes a harder sell unless all you do is game.

>>106354725
>1440p@240Hz
I'm assuming your games can reliably hit 240+ FPS to take advantage of that refresh rate correct?

One of the QD-OLEDs is gonna be your splurge option with the cheapest being the AOC AGON PRO AG276QZD2 for $450:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7LzXsY/aoc-agon-pro-ag276qzd2-267-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-ag276qzd2
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/aoc/agon-pro-ag276qzd2

For LCDs your cheapest option is the 24" 1440p@240 INNOCN 25G2S ($166) which will actually look sharper than the 27" models due to higher pixel density:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSPLKKZV
For 27" models here's one that ticks all the boxes for $180 after coupon code:
https://www.amazon.com/2560x1440P-FreeSync-Compatible-DispalyPort-Speakers/dp/B0DJVZD56V?xpid=Ht1QKxZstzJlT
And another for $210:
https://www.amazon.com/CRUA-Computer-Supports-Freesync-Mountable/dp/B0F7KC4XGJ?xpid=Ht1QKxZstzJlT
Beyodn that they start costing upward of $200-300+ which is too expensive for their performance when 4K MiniLED/1440p OLED is about that price.

>>106354570
>>106354563
why are you so bitchy and defensive? if AMD has caught up in latency then show it, if not don't recommend an inferior product

>>106354839
The 5080 isn't a good deal at $1000. It's like 15% faster than the 5070ti and costs 30% more.
>>106354858
>24gb 5070Ti Super and 5080 Super releasing in 6 months
Without a bump to performance (also rumored) I'm not sure that's worth it for most people. But if they maintain the same price it's more attractive.

>>106354913
5080s at 999$ would be by far the best deal for gpus

That would be the 9070 XT at its mythical $600 MSRP.
>it makes a big difference for Path tracing where small increase alleviates low fps problems
It might make it better for you. Just as the extra RAM in a 5090 makes the cost worth it to people who want a cheaper workstation card. But path tracing is still an edge case for most people. It may not be in a couple years. But for now the 5070ti is in the better position on the price to performance curve.
>>106354982

If they made fridges that kept your food really cold and worked great, and would randomly fail in half the lifetime for its competitors, that companys reputation would be dogshit and would go bust.

Are OLEDs really so good that people are willing to get a new one every 3 years?

I have a 7800x3d and a 4070ti. Which should I upgrade first? I'm happy with 1440p gaymen.

Last month I put together a pc that has 48gb of ram, a 9800x3d and a 5090FE. The 4k monitor I wanted to buy is on back order so in the meantime I am playing on my old 2560x1440p monitor.

One thing I am not getting so far. Everywhere you read "5090 is overkill for 1440p, you're a dumb shit if you play at 1440p with that card, 4k or bust".

Well my idea was that for the time being I'd just play at 1440p@120fps with maxed out settings, after all the card is a total overkill for this resolution, shouldn't be a problem right?

Well I tried alan wake 2, Silent Hill 2 remake, RDR2, AC Shadows, MH Wilds, Oblivion: Remastered and with the settings maxed out the 120 fps are not constant.

MH wilds has issues so ok, but the performance in other games, especially RDR2 a game that came out 6 years ago surprised me.

I ran some benchmarks and my results are in line with the numbers my system should be putting out but this has me second guessing whether or not cancelling my 4k monitor order.

My current monitor has a max refresh of 360hz but the card without DLSS/framgen doesn't get nowhere close that refresh rate with modern and even last year games.
Maybe I just picked up a selection of bad games for this to show up but right now I don't see why everyone calls this card an "overkill" for 1440p.

Get a rope, nolifer.

>>106355673
try and get 4k

>>106355857
maybe
the problem is there are no functional equivalents to most models either
and tv's are just cooked
either you downgrade all your expectations and get something entirely different or not

>>106355869
monitor, peripherals keyboard mouse audio, chair, desk, more nvmeme storage, gpu, cpu

>>106355909
>fell for the 48gb ram meme
should have gone straight to 64 or 96

>"5090 is overkill for 1440p, you're a dumb shit if you play at 1440p with that card, 4k or bust".
they are unironically right, 1440p500hz if you wanna esport it up and you would want 4k240 for everything else that is not a fucking valorant/cs2

>My current monitor has a max refresh of 360hz but the card without DLSS/framgen doesn't get nowhere close that refresh rate with modern and even last year games.
last time I checked every modern game struggles to run 60fps at 1080p native with a 5090 so it all runs like shit
I guess the point is upscaling and it will look better on 4k res

>Maybe I just picked up a selection of bad games for this to show up but right now I don't see why everyone calls this card an "overkill" for 1440p.
maybe cause a 5090 does not scale as good at lower res

>cancelling my 4k monitor order.
if you wanna use 1440p in windows and not view any 4k content on your monitor I guess

>>106355913
this is what happens when you completed main quest and evolve into retire rich neet status

>>106355215
pls help

>>106356013
I mean its fine, but tf2 will run on a toaster
all you need to do is optimize for quiet
not sure what those 80mm fans are for

>>106353463
allow you to do heaps of things at once on your pc with no issues. I run 2 browsers, youtube, and an idle game (Space idle its great and f2p) on top of gaming, watching a show/movie while torrenting. Need 64gigs of ram too for it to run extra smooth long-term.

>>106355972
I don't want 4k but thank you

>>106356048
4k is good for feet

>>106356060
I'm content to have 1440p anime feet

>>106356048
>I don't want 4k
you do, especially on the oled meme due to the subpixels, there is no reason not to, but depends on pricing, some times 1440p oleds are extremely overpriced compared to the 4k parts

>>106356100
>permanent reduction in performance in all 3D vidya
>for a slight visual fidelity increase
no thank you
i've used 4k displays before, they're nice and i'm sure the oleds are gorgeous but it's not the kind of thing i want to pay an additional markup for, especially because i care far more about framerate
i'll buy into 4k when the average midrange GPU can do 4k/120 high settings in every AAAslop game, not before

>>106356115
you don't need to render in 4k though that is the point, it's not 1995 anymore
just change scaling on the game + get the benefits outside of games in windows due to 4k/ppi
unless the 1440p is significantly cheaper, I see them overpriced compared to the 4k240

>>106351855
a very based build anon what about the mobo and psu ?

>>106353312
good to go anon , have fun building that monster but take a look at 7600x3d oem if you can find one at a good price

>>106355869
you dont have to update your gpu go buy an oled monitor instead

>>106354383
>>106354496
How did I forget that Sapphire is HK?

>>106353312
seeing as its a budget build, i wont judge, however speaking from experience, the phanteks case, its side-panel locking mechanism being what looks like physical screws, thats a really, REALLY, annoying way to secure your case and it reduces the overall lifespan of the case itself once the screws threading wears out/metal socket wears, expands and degrades over time. You want a different method, any other method really.

I also prefer having a small ssd/m.2 for purely the OS drive+ all apps+drivers. 500-1TB up to you. Then additional drives as needed for various roles.

Otherwise the build is nicely balanced, although im always going to be wary of 1st generation cpus like the 7000 series, first on the DDR5 platform.

>>106354121
JONSBO is from Dongguan, once renown as the sex capital of China. I mean, it is a major industrial hub and workers need to relax after work- if you know what I mean.

>>106353333
google/ask grok about the model and tips and tricks for restoring functionality if you're poor. Otherwise go buy a mechanical. I'm a fan of the corsair K100 myself, its been a few years and has held up nicely. Although the wrist-pad faux-leather has worn out, and the first time i posted a battlestation selfie, i was asked about the 'cum stains' on it.

>>106354121
i've only ever heard of Deepcool, the fuck are the rest of those corpos?

>>106354252
>compares the 1080ti to an RX 9070 NON XT
you're fucking retarded, you got no business trying to quantify anything other than your own poorfag cope and buyers remorse. There's no point buying the 9070XT as a "flagship" gpu anyway, its a cheap upper-midrange card, wait for the 11k series, or whatever retarded shit they'll name their next gen gpu lineup next.

Is Jayz right /g/?

>>106354100
poverty is a big cause of mental illness

a-anon do you like my build?

>>106356372
>Is Jayz right
rarely
runs the risk of bricking your card or being unstable
can get better results undervolting with afterburner

>>106356400
Looks nice, enjoy.

>>106352790
Proof?
There's reports of people literally going down in base frames on shit like Cyberpunk when they upgraded from 40 to 50 series lol

50 series is all fucking frame gen you spastic. 40 series didn't allow as much artificial shit so it had to actually invest in real fucking hardware

Should I get a Sapphire 9060XT 16gb or a Gigabyte? The gigabyte has 3 fans the sapphire has 2 and they're about the same price

>>106356573
As long as the price difference isn't much, 3 fans is better than 2 normally for cooling/noise.

>>106356400
I pretty much got the exact same build on the way even the case is the same except my PSU is a bit weaker, did you get a gold 750W with upgradeability in mind?

>>106356570
I mean if you want to listen to anecdotes over actual benchmarks that's your choice, just don't be surprised when anon calls you retarded

>>106356646
You mean the benchmarks based on frame gen? Or the ones by Nvidia who want an excuse to discontinue the actual quality cards?
There's nothing fucking ancedotal about tech youtubers doing extensive side by side testing

>>106351596
Retard

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.

>>106351756
Supe Retard.

>>106356372
>risk your warranty
don't do it
>b-b-buh I need more performance!
stop being poor and buy a 5090 before you start doing mods for more perf

>>106354100
probably ignoring reality and doing some price performance calculations and thinking you should be getting the same performance and uplift comparatively from before
imagine saving money since the 1080 ti and still not being able to buy a 5090 though, imagine!

>>106354252
>37% performance improvement
the fuck

>>106356677
I usually go off of techpowerup which doesn't use framegen or upscaling, but if you wanna use random youtube videos, again, your choice
shame you don't have any to cite as evidence

>>106356372
you get the exact same performance, the only difference is the bios flash gives you additional power limit which the card may or may not be able to handle long term anyways due to lack of vrms.

>>106356734
5080 is barely faster than 7900XTX btw

>>106356747
and 5080 drivers dont work on linux or windows see >>106356703

>>106356763
thinky face

very nice build anon enjoy it

WHEN WILL THEY RELEASE THE 9600X3D S FOR FUCKS SAKE

What do we think the odds are of the Nvidia GPU refresh being available by black friday?

is mini ITX still big enough for a "normal" pc?
it seems like you're stuck with 2 ram slots anyway and 2 SSD slots / 1 GPU slot are good enough for me

>>106357134
only if you don't want some premium high end GPU as they tend to be really huge now.

>>106357147
I got 4070 on release and won't be upgrading until like 2030, when next gen consoles come out

>>106354294
No they don't

>>106356747
Always posting stale benchmarks, TechPowerUp no longer wastes their time on that unoptimized crap.
7900 XTX falling behind the 4080 in raster averages, that's AMD fine wine for you.

>>106356677
Maybe don't watch review content that exclusively tests GPUs with DLSS & FG enabled?

The 14400F isn't affected by the raptor lake issues, correct? It's the 14600K variant that is

>>106357441
Both are fine, the 14600K's stock boost clock is capped @ 5.3GHz, that's not high enough to be requesting dangerous levels of voltages.
i7s and especially i9s were vulnerable because the below-average bins could easily request over 1.4V (sometimes above 1.55V when it's not supposed) to hit their maximum guaranteed boost clocks.
i9 had a buggy enhanced TVB feature that didn't stop the CPU from boosting aggressively when it was thermally limited.

>>106357441
there has been 50 microcode updates since then + never was an issue if you manual tuned

>>106357479

Dell G2725D or Samsung Odyssey G5 G50D for 180-190ish eurobucks?

Sure, they're entry-level 1440p, but which one is less bad?
>read the OP retard
KTC doesn't seem to sell in my cuntry, the ASUS is out of budget by nearly 100 euro, and the Gigabyte is out of stock.

>>106356035
is 80mm bad? i thought they would be quiet

>>106357591
>G2725D
This one's pretty bad. Dell was butthurt about the G2724D being almost as good as their Alienware monitor.
So they decided to release a crappy successor.

>>106357613
Smaller fans need to run faster (and louder) to generate the same amount of airflow a larger fan can match @ lower RPM.

>>106357632
hmmm... any suggestions?

>>106357655
be Quiet Pure Wings 3, 120mm fans if you plan to install this in the PSU shroud.
The CPU stock cooler will not run quietly under load btw.

>>106357699
thanks anon. i'll incorporate these. i'll continue to do my own research and return at a later date

>>106357266
woah nigga how dare i am allowed to pay 150usd less to get 10fps less at 2k

>>106357712
You're overpaying for that Gen 3 Evo Plus SSD.
This PCie Gen 4 Crucial T500 drive is better.

I would also get this 9060 XT 16GB over a 6700 XT if you can get it at the advertised $589.00 AUD
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/cD7MnQ/xfx-swift-oc-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx-96ts316b7

It's slightly better (6700 XT slightly worse than 4060 Ti 16GB, 9060 XT slightly better than 4060 Ti 16GB).

wow anon thanks! you're doing a lot for me right now. desu at this point, i've pretty much solved my build. the big parts, at least. youre doing a ton rn but if you feel like it, any ideas for a cpu cooler? thanks a bunch!!

Phantom Spirit has one more heat pipe than the Peerless Assassin (7 vs 6).
Get the Peerless Assassin if you don't want the RGB fans.

Alternative brand, but be Quiet air coolers are less effective when dealing with Ryzen CPUs.
It's still overkill for a 7600X, they probably have better-sounding fans.
