Realistically, why would 12GB be an issue for most people even now? What games could possibly use that much outside of AAA slop? Even the most brutal Minecraft setup shouldn't use that much. And I doubt you're doing shit in Blender or wasting time toying around in SD to exceed that VRAM buffer either. People lived with 1080 Ti's 11GB just fine for YEARS with amazingly graphics, only ever really wishing for improved rendering performance. So what's there that is not to like?

>>108011014
I've never seen or touched a 12VHWPR connector in my life before, can someone explain to me how user error is so common with inserting the cables? How is it that people screw it up when 8 pins posed no issue with an audible click? You can only jam it in there so much before questioning yourself.

Clearly the issue is cables degrading after prolonged use and having issues with bending and not just not plugging them in as that dark side of gaming article showed.

There's articles and videos of 16Gb DRAM vs 32Gb DRAM for gaming. All games ran same if not better on 16Gb except for Mafia: The Old Country. That is, assuming you have a 16Gb VRAM GPU. If you have an 8Gb VRAM GPU then having a minimum of 32Gb DRAM can fix your 1% Low dips.

That's because the economy is an ecosystem of hyper-evolved predators who conspire to separate prey from their wealth.

is it not bad engineering that its so easy for people to install it wrongly and cause it to have a fatal malfunction? if its this easy to install wrongly, they should have derated it to 250W so that minor install variance can't ever cause it to fail.
btw the 12vhpwr is not more difficult to install than the 24-pin atx connector and yet the 24-pin never ever fails because the connector isn't made to run to the ragged edge.
>fundamentally "broken" and users aren't to blame AT ALL
but it IS broken. the cable has a non-existant 1.1x safety factor and assumes perfectly balanced currents to always be true so it doesn't leave any margin for when the currents are not balanced.

It's funny because all the apparent "issues" with Nvidia are a completely different class of issues that, I as a previous AMD owner faced.
Nvidia has never crashed my shit. When I was on AMD it was a dice roll of how many tens of minutes I could play before a CTD or driver crash.
When I went back to Nvidia and could actually play uninterrupted is when I decided that saving $50 on the intial GPU was not at all worth it.

>>108012584
people simply hold radeon to a lower degree of standard so they forgive such issues on their cards. the opposite is true for nvidia, the smallest driver issues get blown out of proportion since they're the gold standard for stability, and it works in nvidia's favor since they do patch out these issues reasonably quickly.

>>108013273
You don't need a CPU cooler with 140mm fans to cool that 3700X relatively quietly.
The heatsink determines how hard the fans will have to run, that's why Noctua makes fuckhuge dual tower heatsinks for their D15s.
A be Quiet Pure Rock Pro 3 (2x 120mm fans) should be good enough, currently discounted in the US.
If you want a CPU cooler with a 140mm fan, the Dark Rock Pro 5 has a 140mm fan in the middle with a 120mm for the side to accommodate ram clearance. It's not worth the $90 asking price; you might as well go all out and buy a Noctua D15 G2 at that point.

There are Thermalright CPU coolers to consider as well, but I'm pretty sure the be Quiet fans will sound better.

Hyper212 (all of them) is an entry level tower cooler, it has too little mass, fin area and few heatpipes (6mm x4) to soak up the heat, decent at stock and idle but will struggle when serious heat arrives. Get a bigger dual tower cooler with 6mm x7 heatpipes instead (Phantom spirit as an example).

I've been looking at this one and the be Quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3, which is around 50 eur to the 60 euro of the Phantom Spirit 120, since prices went up substantially after December. I've been tempted to make the switch to be Quiet! fans and cases for a while now since I tend to use CPUs in the 88W range and GPUs in the 200-250W range or lower and see how it compares quality wise.

It's not worth paying more for Thermalright coolers; value for money is their main offering.
Thermalright's heatsinks are better designed for Ryzen CPU IHS, and will run a few degrees cooler.

You either choose the better be Quiet fans (less noisy/rattly) or the better heatsink performance.

Anon, Noctua (and basically all fan manufacturers) advertise noise in an open environment, free flow air, and likely from 1 meter away.
Techpowerup tests these fans installed against their heatsinks, which adds resistance and interference that generates a lot of noise.

The NF-A14G2 for example says it maxes at 24.8 dB(A), but installed with the NH-D15 G2 it measured ~55 dB(A) in real the real world at 100% power.

If a cooler is incapable of 45dba then it just doesn't go to 45dba

It's meant to stop coolers brute forcing cooler temps with extremely high RPM fans at the cost of a bunch of noise.

also, techpowerup measures from like 10cm away which is probably 1/10th the distance noctua and most fan manufacturers measure at (1 meter).

>>108013904
you can look that up with the Phantom spirit and peerless assasin. It is almost nothing. The big issue with chiplet cpu's is their tiny surface area. Heatspreader and cold plate combined are just 3-4mm thick between die and heatpipes for horizontal heat distribution

Coming from an old 1080p 60hz IPS screen, I want to go up to 1440p and anywhere above 120hz. I'm willing to splurge a bit to get an oled over a new IPS screen. I'm not that worried about burn-in, since you can take steps to minimize it and they seem to give 3 years of warranty these days. But I am reading 2 things that worry me a bit:
>Oled loses some of its upside over IPS if you don't use it in a dark room
>at 1440p there is some text fringing/clarity issues
How much of this is true, and not just reviewers being nitpicky?
The room I'm in is never going to be completely dark, I've got light coming in from windows during the day, and there's some (not overly bright) lights at night. None of which is directly shining into the screen though, it's all either coming from above or behind the screen.
As for the text fringing/clarity, is that just always noticeable, or only in comparison to 4K oleds? Considering I'm coming from 1080p, is it still going to be better than what I've got now?

>>108013904

Both are true to some extent.
You need to visit a display showroom to demo one or buy the monitor from a retailer with a good return policy.
These are something you need to see for yourself and judge whether they're dealbreakers.

I own a QD-OLED monitor, and I was prepared to return this for a WOLED if the raised blacks were a big deal in daily use (it isn't).
The reviewers who talk about raised blacks are using unrealistic tests to expose the issue.
Text fringing might take a few days or even a week or two to get used to; this could be more of a dealbreaker than the raised blacks.
Especially if you have an LCD monitor by the side.

>>108014153
Pretty stupid to swap from a 9800X3D to the currently available set of Intel CPUs.

What should I look for in an external antenna? It'd be exclusively for bluetooth devices, not wifi internet. Right now I just have the two antennae directly sticking out the back of my PC that barely get reception and my devices keep disconnecting unless I turn my PC backwards.

I need help building a PC. My shitty 6 year old pre built one is shitting the bed even after being repaired. Could anyone help a retard out? Need a new one not particularly for gaming but for Video Editing, Photoshop, Toon Boom Harmony and some Blender work. My budget is at £1000. I need something reliable. I tried to pick parts out but i genuinely don't know what im doing bros.

I need a tower that is actually designed for a fucking normal ATX sized motherboard instead of mATX that isn't AIDS for connecting 2.5" and 3.5" drives or going to leave my hands cut connecting/disconnecting the EPS 12V or 24 pin cable

Kinda what I expected. My thinking was if it's such a big deal, they wouldn't be able to have demo models in well lit showrooms surely.
>Text fringing might take a few days or even a week or two to get used to; this could be more of a dealbreaker than the raised blacks.
>Especially if you have an LCD monitor by the side.
Yeah, I will be having an lcd by the side. I currently have 2 24inch 1080p IPS panels. The idea would be to replace the main one with a 1440p monitor, and keep the second one as it is.
>You need to visit a display showroom to demo one or buy the monitor from a retailer with a good return policy.
I took a look in my city's electronics store, but they only had tv's on demo and not monitors. Guess I'll have to either make my way to the next city over, or order one blind and hope I don't have to deal with returning it.

Maybe as an aside, I know that static content (with text) isn't ideal for oleds. I won't be doing any work it, so no excel/word/whatever, but what about internet browsing? Is doing some browsing with browser set in dark mode also a no-no, or is it mostly fine to do?

Web browsing on dark mode is fine.
If you're someone who needs to set the LCD monitor's brightness close to 100%, an OLED monitor isn't for you. At least the ones that are available right now.
OLED is fine for people who usually set monitor brightness to around 100~200 nits in SDR.
Higher brightness generates more heat, which accelerates the degradation of the organic compounds.

what should i do if my FPS is stable i.e the frametime line is perfectly flat, but it feels choppy at times, as if i'm losing FPS? usually 1-2 seconds, as if i'm losing monitor hertz instead

I have no idea how many nits it's at, but I've got both my monitors at like 40-50% usually. I don't enjoy getting flashbanged when a bright scene pops up. And my monitors standard is like 80% brightness, but that honestly just gets a bit too much for my eyes after a while.

Set the in-game FPS cap then. Apex Legends enforces a 60 FPS lobby cap for similar performance reasons.
The kids complained so much about the FPS cap that Respawn added a console command to bypass it.

Owning a buggy GPU causing constant crashes unless downclocked is far worse than some spaghetti-coded video game.

If you don't set an FPS/performance limiter, the GPU's going to render scenes as much as it possibly can.
Same shit happened in Diablo 4's main menu, inventory, & vendor screens.
It's going to pump as many fps unless you set it not to.
Buggy GPUs will crash in these circumstances, ones with shitty power delivery will pop a DrMOS.

>>108014563

So I have two computers in my room. my desktop is out of view to the right. And this is my work laptop setup perpendicular to the desk. I have two monitors hooked up to it. Should I switch them out for a curved large wide monitor instead?

There should be an option to lower the FPS, but any instabilities caused by the uncapped menu are just exposing the hardware's weaknesses.

Clearly there is an issue because "uncapped menu" is constantly an issue that gains attention every few years when a AAA game melts thousands of graphics cards. You can blame the GPUs, but you don't need a menu running at 2400fps and it's probably putting weird stresses on cards that's completely different from when they're just processing 3d at 100% load.

someday you'll actually use an ultrawide monitor and wonder how you ever went without one. Then you'll think back to the moment a random moron on 4chan wasted years of you enjoying an objectively superior computing experience by offhandedly saying they are 'shit'.

Realistically how dangerous is it to replace the fan inside of a PSU? Is holding the power button with the PSU unplugged actually enough to discharge the capacitors? I have an 11 year old PSU and the bearings are fucked. I have an extra Noctua fan I can put into it. It's currently louder than all of my case fans at max speed on my curve.

It's not the game developer's problem if the GPU isn't properly set up to throttle performance when it needs to; that's the GPU designer's responsibility.
So set a FPS cap on the driver if the game doesn't provide one, or enable features like Reflex when it's available.

>melts thousands of graphics cards.

Just dont touch nothing you dont need to

Had one, went back to a regular monitor almost immediately. Turns out the amount you can actually see with your peripheral vision makes the whole concept effectively useless for work and competitive gaming. Immersive AF for driving sims, though.

You propaly need a voltage regulated fan. Its likely not dangerous but you should have it unplugged for 15 minutes and diacharge it by pressing ze powerbutton with the psu unplugged

Ultrawide is a bit of a mixed bag really

On the other, it needlessly tanks performance and makes games with UI in the corners kinda ass to play, especially since most of those dont let you adjust the UI scale

>>108015967
>hope you got a good deal on that kit and that your CPU can cover the speed of that kit

Even if he didn't? So what?


>>108015990
The 5070 ti is EOL and can be found on Amazon for 1300 dollars

>>108015982
Yes, but for what fucking purpose, and towards what revenue? What is their path to revenue? When do they start making money? When do they enter the green on that project versus it just becoming a gigantic masturbatory black hole?
Or are we just watching all these big inflated corporations commit suicide in realtime? Because it really seems like a second e-business crash.

Depends on the army. Pic rel is 2000pts on the dot and it barely scratches 800 euros, paint included.

>Amazon for 1300
Yeah, I guess if you're too retarded to find parts, that will prevent you from getting good ones for reasonable prices.

Will say this tho Nvidia app is better than amd, I'm scared I didn't update the drivers correctly

>>108016012
None of them are going to crash, they are all using cash from their overseas money reserves that they stuck a deal with the current administration to bring back into the country so long as they spend it on US based (AI) infrastructure

>>108016038
How is the MetaVerse digital real estate scam going, by the way?

>>108015889
Except the Helldivers 2 devs separately addressed RX 7000 card owners' crashes because the severity (unplayably frequent crashes) is isolated to those GPUs.
Those RX 7000 card owners can play Helldivers 2 after downclocking the GPU's boost frequency. Buggy GPU issue.

Doesn't asus make a 3 fan? Is there no 5070 prime?

>>108016052
Yeah , that's why I'm not sure if I should downgrade my 16 gb 6000 for 32 GB 4800 cause it's cheaper

I got the 9800x3d
>>108016056
Very good

>>108016067
There was a 5070 Prime before it went out of stock where I am and it is a superior model

You can't even post a pc part picker with a radeon card on it ITT without 10 nvididrones from plebbit spamming the thread shitting on you. Why can't they just respect other people's choices?

>>108016075
Damn. Sorry anon. It's been getting restocks about once a week where I live so hopefully you luck out too.

If you want to waste money on $300 of RGB fans, we can't really stop you, but if you make dumb decisions, people are going to try and stop you.

>>108016087
Get the 9800X3D if you can afford the entire DDR5 platform cost.

>>108016087
uh, just do whatever you want man.

Why would you not just get the 9850X3D?
It probably stealth fixes the burning issues 9800X3Ds have been having.

I'm talking the processor, stupid. Buy a shit card if you want, but don't buy a housefire cpu.

>>108016118
Won't make much of a difference

>>108016141
What?

>>108016120
>Why would you not just get the 9850X3D?
Because there's no practical benefit over the 9800X3D.
If he wants the 9850X3D for better overclocking & performance tuning, he would've asked about the 9850X3D to begin with.

>It probably stealth fixes the burning issues 9800X3Ds have been having.
You can say the same for newer production batches of 9800X3Ds; the 9850X3D is using the same I/O die for starters.

Calling a 9070 XT a "shit card" is just insane. These fanboys really need to fuck off. Stop forcing your biases against anything with a red sticker on people just asking for advice. Advising not to buy older rdna makes sense but rdna 4 is perfectly fine for someone who just wants to play games and is much cheaper than the equivalent nvidia options right now.

This is just Nicotroon samefagging to pad the reply count of this thread to bake the next one, btw.
Read the filename of the PC build that was posted; it's from his $300 refurbished Samsung phone.

>>108016172
It's not a shit card.
It's a great card, at the original MSRP.
It's a shit card at $700-$900 because of what it competes against.

Damn, we got Sherlock fucking Holmes here.

So far, only one guy is sad enough to stir shit about 9070 XT vs 5070 Ti.
I recommended the 9070 XT to the indecisive PC builders last year, btw.

>>108016277
You mean RDNA3 card owners can play Helldivers 2 just fine after downclocking their buggy trash of a GPU.

>>108016003
it's all cables. no rdp

Don't use the brandfags thread trying to start flamewars with that gpu section

>>108016345
Except those 5090 owners don't have to manually downclock their GPU's core clocks to prevent persistent Helldivers 2 crashing, like the RX 7000 card owning bitches have to.
