Thread 719077192

I'm building a new PC because my old one has a motherboard from 2015 and it's time
What do you guys suggest parts-wise? I mostly play older games

>>719077618
all depends on how much money you have to spend.

970 GTX i aint upgrading till nvidia stops scamming on vram or msrp

>>719077192 (OP)
>EVGA RTX 3090 FTW 3

>warranty still active
I won

RX 7900 GRE.
Got it because it was 150-200$ cheaper (at that moment) than the 4070 Super with roughly the same performance.
Still runs fine.

im broke right now and looking for a job hopefully i get one soon. in terms of upgrading i dont even need a new gpu if anything i want to upgrade my motherboard so i can have ddr5 instead of ddr4 and get a good monitor. my current display is a 4k 60 hz tv i want to get a 4k 144 hz oled monitor and/or tv

>>719078720
>warranty still active
EVGA is dead so good luck with your warranty.

>>719079605
it worked a few months ago.

>>719079645
The real problem is with the quality of their repairs after their company disolved.
EVGA used to have very good customer service but now it's awful.

Here's mine, OP, got it for the same price as a 3060 Ti at the time.
>>719078720
Yowza, now that's nice, good on you.

you will get help there
there is no point doing it here, people will inevitably come and shit up the thread

>>719078415
at this point you should just buy a cheap second hand gpu
you could easily upgrade your rig for less than 100$

>>719082090

Such as?

>>719077192 (OP)
the 60 series is all you need.

same...

>>719078415
So just buy AMD?

>>719077192 (OP)
once again, i am here to remind you, that in the good old days, the line only went up to the 80 series. that was the top killer gpu you could get. back then, the 60 series was seen as the respectable middle ground and everyone were fine with that. but then nkikia released the titan gpu, didn't they? they then remade the titan into the 90 class gpu, didn't they? yeees, they did, they did, indeed. and buy doing so, they pushed up the standard, didn't they? yeeees, they did. they did, indeed. so now it's not good enough just to buy a midtier 60 gpu rig, is it? noooo, it's not. no, it's not, indeed. now, in order to be hip and square with the joneses, you have to buy a friggin 70 tier gpu, don't you?? yeeeeeeeeeees, you do, yeeeeess, you do, indeed.. this is the world we now live in, guys, and it is indeed grim................

I bought a 9070 xt because I’ve been wanting to build my first pc for a while now and I got it for a decent price, but now I have no idea what to buy for the rest of it so it’s just been sitting there for the last few weeks.

>>719083339
You won't need anything fancy. Here's my build.
I recommend getting an X3D chip though for future proofing.

>>719083686
doesn't matter, the line still ended at 80, before they started with all that shit. the gpu-strapping came later.

hello bro

>RTX 4090
I felt like a retard spending well over $1700 on a GPU in 2023 but it's been fucking great, I thought I would regret it but I don't. And it's the last true Physx GPU so I can keep it around for a retro PC in the future. I'm never selling it.

If you only olay old games you don't need to upgrade.

>>719077192 (OP)
4060 laptop i regret upgrading i now feel the need to play AAA.
I was happy playing old games

>>719086219
Idk i can't find an AAAAAAAA game worth upgrading for. Not saying new games bad but it's more like good games are still fun even if you play them in a blurry upscaled mess.

Time is drawing to an end.
I'm probably going to upgrade to a 5080 sooner or later.
But, it's been a nice ride.

>>719086608
New games are bad.
I fell asleep playing cyberpunk 3 times
God of war I barely finish
Most games I just play with YouTube opened and pay no attention

>>719077192 (OP)
I have a Rx 6600 but I have a Rx 9060 xt (16gb) coming today. I plan to use it for editing, gaming, and maybe some crypto stuff. Nvidia doesn't support their GPUs as much as amd does ironically. They're just ai cards now that can do gaming on the side.

I'm gonna go all in and try to get a 5080 super. As long as I can get it for MSRP (highly unlikely) I will be satisfied

Yes it's a bad value but I had a Maxwell card for ten years. I had to buy something eventually.

>>719082179
If you play at 1080p maybe, but some of us are playing at God's resolution 1440p.

I hate normalfags so much. you're okay with eating shit and having no standards for years, then normalfag westoid goyslop like gta6 is what convinces you to upgrade? you realize there are games out right this minute that mog that slop, right?

>>719091298
There's no such thing as a good GTA game in the first place. The gameplay is mindnumbingly boring and simplistic, there's absolutely nothing in there to make your brain work at all. Even non-vidya games like Chess mogs GTA. Walk into some retro arcade and pick up any old game and you'll find something that mogs the best of GTA. The only thing AAA games like those have going for them is spectacle. They look good, and that's all, and if you can actually be entertained by playing them, whether it's the old ones or the new ones, then frankly I can't consider you a human being. You're braindead.

>>719082408
>>719082128
for $100 it's going to be a meh upgrade from 970, a base 2060 6gb if he's lucky. for around $150 he might get like 2060 Super or 2070 which would be an OK upgrade for the price. all depends of courses on the exact current prices in his area ofc

I have a 2070
It's showing it's age, anything post 2022/2023 is nigh unplayable.

Also, if you're thinking that a 4070 Super will be the GPU that finally dethrones your 1080 TI, it isn't, just bite the bullet and get a 4070 TI Super, 12GB on an iffy bus - especially if you're past 1080p - isn't gonna cut it for much longer

I literally have it on my kart. I better rethink my pc

>>719093805
I literally just bought one last night for $703 total. Been using pic related for almost 10 years now and the 4070 ti super is literally the best card I can put in my motherboard.

If you think I'm not gonna cum in my pants when I see what grafix look like with a legitimately high end card, then you are out ur fokin mind m8

I'm really surprise how strong this gpu is holding up and can still do at least 60 fps at 4k.

>>719085660
I just bought a new PSU when faced with this kek

>>719094763
>1080p of course.
Based, so fucking based

>>719077192 (OP)

>5080

Seems to handle everything in 4k well enough, but I’m probably going to upgrade soon to a 32gb 5090. They kind of gimped the 5080 on VRAM. The card has a lot of potential, because it comes close to 4090 performance even with only 16 GB of VRAM, but it’s not quite there. The 5080 super might end up being the best performance for its value if it goes up to 24 gb VRAM and is priced substantially lower than the 5090. In fact, if the 5080 super does have 24gb VRAM, I’m thinking it might be a major upgrade to even a 4090.

Due to circumstances I got this, tried looking for info on performance online but all I found were buttblasted niggers. So I guess its shit compared to something else, I dont care as long as it runs modern vidya with playable fps

>>719077192 (OP)

Why would you buy a 5080 to begin with?

>>719097072
based poorfag

>>719077192 (OP)
Nvidia can kiss my ass this gen. Drop your prices and maybe I'll consider you again next time.

>>719097150
9070xt same price as a 5070ti though?
9070 more expensive than 5070.

>>719097142

I didn’t do my research and thought 16 gb VRAM would be sufficient for my purposes (4k gaming + AI gen). It actually does handle 4k gaming well enough, it’s just slow with AI gen.

>>719097275
How slow? I'm interested in AI gen and just upgraded to a 16gb card from a 6gb one.

I've heard it's not particularly great but I got a good deal on it.

>>719097205
>9070xt same price as a 5070ti though?
where
unless you are comapring the shittiest 5070TI build against any of the top 9070xt builds
otherwise its easily 200 more expensive

>>719097440
>otherwise its easily 200 more expensive
Why are you lying? I can go on pcpartpicker or another tracker and see that's not true.
>>719097414
It's good for 1440p and basically overkill for 1080p. Most of the kvetching is from it being useless for ai + youtuber worship

>>719097440
>where
Why would you ask such an antiemetic question?

>>719097205
I couldn't find a 5070Ti that was less than $200 higher than the 9070XT.

>>719096996
from what I've seen the 5060 is just 4060, basically no generational improvement, but that's basically the whole 5000 series

>>719096996
Just look at the info here: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5060.c4219

>>719097560
I'm not lying. The only way you'll get the prices equal is if you compare a low-priced 5070Ti to a high-priced 9070XT. The cheapest 9070XT is $200 cheaper than any 5070Ti.

>>719096996
Main problem with it is how quickly it might age due to 8GB VRAM. I'm not convinced people with 8GB GPUs are missing out on much right now, yeah you can absolutely make the game shit itself even now if you don't adjust your settings properly but every game has playable settings for 8GB and I haven't seen examples were there's a massive visual compromise. I also don't expect it to be a problem for future titles until PS6 exclusives get PC ports. Also Nvidia apparently came up with some AI method to reduce VRAM usage a lot, don't know what will come out that.

>>719097390

Noticeably. If you look at different benchmarks a 5090 24gb is 1.4-1.8 times faster. A 5080 16GB obviously is still usable, just slower. If your primary interest is 4K gaming, though, the 5080 works fine for that though. If you look at FPS tests on YouTube you’ll see the 5080 runs games at max settings almost on par with the 4090, but typically 9-10 FPS lower.

>>719096996
It's basically a 2080ti in raster, beats a 3080 in heavy rt.
>>719097609
5060 is actually one of the best low end cards of recent times, it's just that 8gb is getting very questionable.
>>719097671
9070xt is $700, the "good" models $800+
5070ti is $750, and all of the aib models perform basically the same.

Name one more value for money card than this

>literal obese nigger shithole

LOL

>>719097609
5050 is basically 4060 performance wise or slightly worse even (which wins depends on the title) while consuming more power. 5060 is like ~25% faster than 4060 or something so it's something.

>>719098060
This exact attitude is why China will win

>>719097917
The 5060 came out a few months ago right? Why is it low end already. I know jack shit about cards and info online is just confusing with how random numbers get thrown around like youre supposed to know exactly what they mean. No I dont know if the 740 is better than the 2010, there is no underlying logic there

>>719077192 (OP)
Bought pic-related in April 2020 for $450 on sale because I knew if I waited any longer I was gonna get fucked over by shitcoin faggots and jeet scalpers. New GPU's are fucking expensive so I intend to stick with it for another year or two.

>Entire existence is manufacturing cheap shit for Americans and their vassal states

>>719098419
Nvidia rushed it out to placate gamers while they focus most of their operations on heavy duty GPUs for AI data centers.

>>719098419
It's on the lower end of the current generation, that's why. Though unlike with the 40-series where 4060 was the weakest one (ignoring laptops that did have a 4050), this time we have 5050 so 5060 isn't the lowest.

>>719077192 (OP)

>>719097917
>9070xt is $700, the "good" models $800+
>5070ti is $750, and all of the aib models perform basically the same.
Cheapest 9070xt right now on my country is 680€ cheapest 5070TI is 805€
That difference slightly increases as you get to the wider array of models with most of the 5070TI models sitting on the 900-1k€ and most of the 9070xt models sitting in the 750-800€
Thats according to pcpartpicker. So maybe not 200€ difference but sure as fuck you are gonna pay 150€ more for a 5070TI than for a similarly rated 9070xt.
Now im not even saying that difference isn't worth it, maybe it is. Im just calling your bullshit on that these cards cost the same.
Respectfully go eat a dick.

>>719098531
Ok so what does that mean? It gives worse performance than other cards? Why release a new card if all previous cards do the same thing but better? What the fuck is the whole card market.

I get that some people want a computer for editing or making AI slop but why is it so hard to find information where im not looking up 25 different cards/abbreviations to know what the fuck is going on.

>>719098419

Each series (30-, 40-, 50-, etc.) has different categories that indicate its performance and price level. A 3090 is an older card than a 5060, but it outperforms it because it was the best of the 30-series cards. Make sense? The current top of the line card is the 5090. The next most powerful card is a 4090. Then you have the 5080. And so forth.

>>719093805
Except the 4070 Super outperforms the 1080 Ti in every single metric. Face it, the 1080 Ti is yesterday's news. Time to get with the times, gramps.

>RX 7800 XT Nitro+ by Sapphire

Lucked out last year because I don't think this is sold anymore. The cooling is absolute overkill for this card and I got it for semi cheap.

>>719098845
Ok makes sense

>>719098819
The only complaint people have about the 5060 is that recently Nvidia has been really stingy about VRam, with the 5060 only having 8gb of Vram.
Now, its still a very modern card, it will squeeze more out of those 8gb than my old 3060TI will get off its but is just that people wished for Nvidia to have shipped those cards with more Vram.
Its just a lower tier card of the latest series but its still a perfectly fine card for its price imo. Its just the eternal catch 22 of
>well if you had only spent 3290580329843204$ more you could have gotten....

>>719098419
>The 5060 came out a few months ago right? Why is it low end already.
xx60 cards are low end
xx70 is midrange
xx80 is high
and then typically you have ti cards as kind of a transition, cards like the 3050 8gb and 1060 6gb would be in the same category but were named differently to be purposely confusing.
The 4090 and 5090 aren't really even gaming gpus

The 5060 has good performance for the segment and it's not going to hold you back at 1080p as long as you know how to open a settings menu and look at an overlay, but 8gb stops being enough the minute you jump to 1440p.If you're not already having issues as long as you upgrade 4/5 years from now you'll be fine. I would say it's not any worse than say a 960 or 1060 3gb on release
>>719093805
4070 super is a 3090 equivalent, you 1080ti niggers need to stop coping with your shitty card. Intellectuals bought the 2080ti.
>>719098756
Shut up euro tard, no one cares about your irrelevant continent.

>>719098527
If they make all your stuff and you don't make any of it, only their goodwill keeps you afloat. Don't confuse stock prices with material wealth - a factory that makes physical things can impact the real world. A record high NASDAQ doesn't matter if China suddenly stops shipping you any of the physical items you actually need. The offshoring of American manufacturing to China was the greatest geopolitical mistake of the 20th century.

Since my screen is just 1080p (well wuxga 1200) the 3060TI should last me forever and a day.

>>719099212

U wot? Even the PS5 pro gives worse performance than a 4070

>>719077192 (OP)
same except Founders Edition. It really doesn't feel like it's worth it when GPU market is such ass. And to top it off a mid range upgrade is still 8gb after nearly a decade.
Man, Moore's Law really is dead.

>>719099160

VRAM usage doesn't go up with resolution nearly as much as people think (the difference gets substantial when comparing 1080p and native 4K but native 4K is a meme anyways). Also upscaling reduces VRAM usage and works really well at above 1080p resolutions.

>>719099997
The ps5 gpu is below a 3060 though.

>>719100289
These pieces of shit won't run modern games at 1080p though, 1070 already chugs in cyberpunk at that resolution and that game is 5 years old

>>719099997
3060 is more powerful than the ps5 even if you ignore dlss and ray tracing.
PS5 gpu is the one on the right but power limited.

I have a 1080 now but I want to get a 5070ti to replace it

>>719100568
It's virtually identical except games are optimized for PS5 and I shiggy hope youre not actually implying the 3060 is capable of ray tracing in any meaningful way lmfao look at its performance in the new forced RT games

>>719100568
>>719100867
Oh and DLSS 2 is fucking horrendous in all regards

>>719100436
>won't run them
Maybe not at max settings, no. I'm playing Wuchang at anywhere from 60-80 FPS on my 1060 at medium settings because I took the time to optimize it. Only a retard would think they can play modern games at max settings on hardware from 8 years ago.

>>719100336
literally is, there's really no reason to buy a console nowadays
take my pc away and I'd be happier with a shitbox than a ps5

>>719101049

>>719100867
>optimized for PS5
Literally just a powerlimited mini pc. Most of those "trash" pc ports are just as bad on console(especially ue5 games), it's just that on the platform nobody cares.
>>719100939
We're on dlss4 now though. Transformer dlss works on any rtx card. Even at 1080p there's no reason to not use it.

So about a 4070Ti desktop equivalent I'd say

I'm thinking about buying a 1000 watt PSU. This one, in fact.

Give me 5 reasons why I should do it and 4 reasons why I shouldn't. You won't.

>>719101914
Depends if you actually need the 1000 watts.

>>719101914
At least check for its reputation on PSU cultists. There is a good amount of autism that's present in that site.

>you 1080ti niggers need to stop coping with your shitty card
They're still on it because it's the best bang for your buck (eBay) if you want more than 8GB and decent peformance minus DLSS/RTX, aka a bunch of people who just wanna play their JP coom games, emulate, or play something non-UE5. More than 12GB is limited to $700+ cards or shitty AMD cards

>>719101914
Funnily enough, I actually ended up having to get a 1200W PSU, as 1000W wasn't enough for a 9800/4070S ti setup with 2 hard drives, 2 SSD's, a sound card, and Noctua memefans in every header. Those PSU calculators tend to undersuggest what you need in my experience (Be Quiet's said the above would be fine with 850W), and never account for the fact that you might plug an external hard drive in at some point

>>719102076
Alternatively, just buy Seasonic (unless they too are now enshittified)

As a black man who doesn't know anything about computers and instead spends all day dropping bits of fried chicken skin into the empty spaces of my keyboard while angrily typing manifestos about racism, I have a hard time keeping up with the latest PSU headlines.

not inherently, the game itself is but the more mods you add the more vram its going to eat and you can easily cap it out with things like retextures

I got my ex and a friend 1080's ($60, $75) for their TV/vidya computers for Christmas, they run the normieshit they play (Rivals, CoD, Hogwarts) just fine at medium-high, as UE5slop still accounts for Pascal/AMD and gives them TAA/FideltyFX, I tried Space Marine 2 and STALKER 2 when I was torture testing both with my 9800 PC, and they surprisingly ran fine with medium all down the board. I'd sooner buy a Pascal card on a budget than anything x060, especially since you may as well be using TAA/FideltyFX considering how bad DLSS looks on their shitty cards, RTX may as well not exist at that bracket

>>719103142

>>719105164
>I should get a 5070 instead of a 9070 xt

You should get 5070 Ti.

>>719105164
the funniest thing about all of this is that DLSS needs VRAM, which pushes textures into RAM, which cuts framerates drastically, which helps create the perceived need for DLSS in the first place
it's the perfect scam

>>719097972
The 3070 costs a bit less and is much faster, as long as you can stomach the 8gb of VRAM.

>>719105575
>DLSS needs VRAM
no it doesn't retard. FG does but it's minimal
>>719105164
5070ti is the same price as a 9070xt

>>719105575
>the funniest thing about all of this is that DLSS needs VRAM

Wrong. Framegen needs it. Upscaling lowers vram use.

>>719105575
Frame gen and ray tracing consume extra VRAM, not DLSS. DLSS itself actually often reduces VRAM usage slightly. But it is certainly ironic that Nvidia pushes RT and framegen so hard as selling points yet keeps releasing 8GB cards.

>>719105770
no it isn't, not even in America and in my country it's almost 200 dollars more expensive for the same rasterization performance but slightly better ray tracing it is absolutely not worth it for me

>>719105770
>>719105775
>>719105837
yeah i mixed up my slop feature names

>>719105575
So what you're telling me is that I should have 32 gb of dedicated wam in 2025?

>>719105864
9070xt was never at msrp outside of the initial micro center supply, 5070 and 5070ti have been for a while.

>>719087193
Bought one on launch because I was tired of Nvidia's bullshit.

>>719105894
Either way 12gb is enough for framegen + path tracing at 1440p. 4k you have to give up one of them or use performance dlss.

>>719105934
it's 640ish euro vs 820ish for the 5070 ti that is absolutely not worth it so even if not exactly msrp it's still the far better value here, if it was within 50 an argument can be made in favor of the 5070 ti

>>719104156
Install the drivers, the legacy control panel, and PhysX, that's it, all the CPU spikes are Geforce Experience and friends in the background, and if you need GFE when Nvidia Inspector exists, just buy AMD

For good measure, disable MPO and HDCP, and turn MSI on (high priority) for the second thread of every one of your CPU cores

5080, it be lit

>>719094763
it works fine for 1440

5080. Upgrade from a 1070ti.
Bought it after it went under the msrp. Then it went down to a 5070ti price. Still a bit butthurt.
Can't believe how much I have to use DLSS with games from the last two years. Can't imagine having to run FSR. I guess 4 with optiscaler might be acceptable, but it is adding even more work.

>>719077192 (OP)
Got it used for $450 (argued down from $500), dude I bought it from said he was having temp issues. I opened it up, replaced the pads and paste, and it works gud.

>>719106785
Bro might be a retard, the card is under warranty still why wouldn't he just rma it instead of getting ripped off.

>>719106957
That reminds me, I need to look into the warranty on it. I wonder if Gigabyte does transfers... frankly I doubt if he ever even registered it given that he sold it to me.

>>719103837
is there a program out there like hwinfo or something that lets you see how much wattage everything is actually pulling?

>>719107281
I think HWInfo actually does give estimates for that. Otherwise you can use a Kill-A-Watt to determine total power draw from the outlet.

>>719107281
why not just use hwinfo? i think afterburner does it too.

3090 Kingpin. Good enough for now but definitely want a 5090 FE as soon as they're obtanium.

>>719086713
Wow you held onto that thing forever. I had one and ended up selling it for more than I paid early 2020 to cover the cost of the launch 3090 Kingpin, 5900x, motherboard and RAM for my current build. Between it and my i7-7700k (de-lidded and top 3 record holder at the time, which I used to sell it for way more than it was worth along with my overclock settings, RAM and board as a single sale), I got my new PC built for about 500 bucks total. Made money on every part I sold. 5900X and 3090 Kingpin.

Still can't believe I made money on that shitty i7-7700k. Blessed retards and covid. Hoping I can do the same with my one-of-a-kind-museum-piece Kingpin 3090 when I do find a 5090 FE in stock at MSRP (so close each time they go up, one day).

>>719117331
No. And yes the memory is stable at that. I think things start to get iffy at 2724mhz or so but I haven't really tried to push it to the limit. Don't feel like fucking with the memory too much, I didn't see that much of a perf improvement in most titles anyway.

>>719077192 (OP)
I just upgraded from the 1070 to a 9070 xt rig. It's night and day.

>>719093948
>Asus ROG Astral 5090 OC. Won't need to upgrade for like 10 years.
Here's hoping they are less prone to catastrophic failure from transient power spikes like the 3090s. I had to replace my 3090 Kingpin 4 times and now EVGA is basically gone. Not sure they'll be able to replace it again even with the 10 year warranty. If you plan on keeping it for 10 years I have bad news for you, you bought ASUS. They're the one AIB that will do literally everything they can to avoid covering your claim and charging you for everything. They also like to hold your card hostage until you pay even if you don't take their warranty service. Good luck anon.
Personally I don't see any AIB card as an option since all the 3rd party brands are terrible for warranty claims, but ASUS is easily the worst. With Nvidajew FE cards it should be quick/painless and done via local warranty centers. Maybe MSI or Gigabyte is OK, but I doubt it.
Envious of the 5090 tho king, hopefully you didn't pay too much over MSRP.

5060 TI
