It's good if you need VRAM more than anything else. You'll need to watch listings like a hawk right now if you want to get one at a reasonable price. It's difficult to recommend when the 5070 is now the same price and significantly faster. It being limited to 8x is also completely unnecessary.

Didn't there use to be dual tower air cooler recs in the OP? I wanna know what's the meta right now, planning on getting a 7600(X), I think the AK400 was recommended at one point but it's no longer in stock anywhere.

All of those coolers are sort of overkill for that CPU.
Scythe Kotetsu Mark 3 should be good enough, but I can't speak for how loud it will run vs a dual tower cooler.

I have one too but lets not kid ourselves, it's a 70 class card. At least I got it for under its msrp. Shit it's gone up like $300 in a month, just totally retarded.
The bigger issue is the 5080 is also a 70 class card.

honestly i didnt really look at the op aside from cpu and gpu section when i copy pasted it. if dual towers are missing that's dumb...
Always take ops with a grain of salt anyway, none of it's going to be perfectly accurate for everyone. The small changes I made I tried to be as impartial as possible but i know people will still have valid objections to it. I looked over benchmarks for the 9070 xt and while it is certainly a 4k serviceable card for a lot of people, i don't think it's strong enough at 4k to be in the 4k category in general. Likewise with the 5070 ti, which is obviously the main competitor to it in pure performance. Not going to get into the weeds about muh framegen or muh upscooling or the price premium, weighing in on prices is all personal opinion on what's fair and the actual number could get way worse so pushing people away from it over pricing is silly. And the price over the 9070 xt is really worth it for a lot of people who need/want nvidia's features and/or have misgivings with radeon.
I did opt not to re-add the 5060 ti 16gb though at these prices with the 5070 offering much more performance like >>108017780 said but even that is feeling like a mistake to me now because I know some people just want 16gb vram on a "budget". Really you just can't please everyone with ops and i'm starting to come to terms with that.

>>108018253
Thinner is always better it's just that aibs are too cheap to fit their coolers with tight fitment to more than just the gpu core so the memory ends up far from the cooler and shares a cold plate with the gpu. Both of these are fixable but would be expensive to engineer for no significant increase to service life or the customer

It's a good case; the preinstalled fans are one of the best bundled case fans.
But the standard Meshify 3 is compact. The maximum radiator size for its top panel is 280mm.
It's not a big deal performance-wise, but it limits your AIO options.
be Quiet & Noctua's upcoming AIOs only have 240 and 360mm models; these have quieter pumps.

I know nicotroon and other brampton niggas would be upset at this but I went Nvidia only in 2017 and have had nothing but a good time. I was always troubleshooting my ATI/AMD GPUs before that, they were fine but I don't have time for that shit anymore. I want something that just works every time I use it, and that's what Nvidia gives me.

Questionable purchases.
9600 is a sidegrade unless you heavily utilize the AVX512 instruction set.
9060 XT's performance isn't a big enough leap imo.

Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS is decently reviewed and currently discounted to $230 in the official ASUS US store; this would be the value option.
I'm not sure if I'd bother with a higher-end 1440p IPS; the price gets too close to 1440p 240Hz OLED monitors.

This shit is unironically going to make devs push for more percentage sliders so people can choose whatever low res they want to run 4K at. They will never tell people to turn off DLSS or framegen. As things stand, it's simply over for native (forced TAA blurfest) games.

This is what im not sure, blurbuster said that they asked them to support 60hz and nvidia said that in a future they'll add a 48hz firmware update especifically for media content, VR and fighting games, they also said that it should work really well as long as they increase the strobbing rate at lower frame rates

It's definitely faster than the base PS5.
The base PS5 has a mobile 3700X (downclocked) with two cores reserved for the console OS, and a GPU that is inferior to the mobile RX 6700 (no Infinity Cache).

not sure about multiplayer but for singleplayer i think the future is gonna be some advanced tech of flip metering and frame warping in which the whole game renders 200ms in the future so technically you'll have 0 input lag while the game constantly make async calls and fill the 200ms gap with a predictive neural network generating the possible states

Ventus/Shadow tends to run louder and hotter than other cards, but you can reduce the power draw while retaining close to stock performance with an undervolt + OC.

It's about the future. 6 cores/12 threads today fares like 4c/4t in 2017 or so. Yeah it's enough. No it won't last much longer. Then 8c will be next on the chopping block. 7-8 years from now the 9800x3d will be thread constrained badly compared to the chad 10800x3d

Who else is waiting for the memory price crash?
>>

I want to get either the 5070ti or the 9070xt but there are a few things I'm hesitant about. Would appreciate some help.
I keep hearing about how bad the power connector that the 50 series uses is, causing connectors to melt and whatnot. Is this an issue that plagues all of the 50 series cards or is it exclusive to stuff like the 5090? I'm aware that a couple of the 9070xt models use that connector but most are 8 pins, right?
Ive also noticed that the 9070xt is a lot more power hungry than the 5070ti, other than temps what sort of impact does this have? Could it negatively affect the lifespan of the card? I know that AMD cards can be undervolted to keep identical perfomance but even then the tests I've checked still put the 5070ti's consumption way below the 9070xt.
Can the 5070ti be undercoated like the 9070xt or would that be a waste of time due to the already low consumption? Should I just leave it as is?
I've read that quite a lot of people like AMD's (adrenalin, I think) software much better than Nvidia's, is it true that it's easier to use/better or not really?
About Linux, I've also heard that AMD cards used to be the go to if you wanted to use Linux, is this still the case or have things changed?
Are there any models on each card that I should avoid? I was planning on an Asus TUF Prime for the 5070ti or a Power Color Red Devil for the 9070ti, also considered the Nitro+ but it has the dreaded connector and also considered both the Power Color Hellhound Reva because of the white and blue and the XFX Mercury, but I was told XFX cards had insanely loud fans.

just buy 9070xt and dont worry about it
as for linux yes amd provide proper open source drivers as a way to prove nvidia sucks

I bought 5070 ti a week ago, undervolted to 900mv it runs at ~210W and connector gets WARM not hot. I would say 45C maybe, if that.
GPU itself (MSI trio) runs stupid quiet and cool at like 59C in RT games at 100% load and I meant after 12 hour long session not 1.5 minutes in 3dmark. Most of the time it's under 55C. Idles at 35C so longevity of the silicone would not be a problem.
No idea about AMD side of things as I can't live without forced ambient occlusion in old titles or SSAA.

Just get a 5070Ti and don't worry about it, unironically.
It's the better card. There's a lot of cope and shilling from AMD this generation, and it basically comes from AMD releasing the 9070XT at a price where it was very competitive with the 5070Ti, but now they've upped the MSRP and Nvidia has improved the software and features that the 5070Ti uses, which has tilted it more so in Nvidia's favour.
If you can get either for their original MSRPs, the better choice would be the 9070 XT. But, you can't do this. So, it's moot.
A lot of the 12VHWPR stuff relates to the 5090 and the 9070XT. There's not been many, if any, reports of it happening on the 5080, or 5070Ti cards. But, the risk is still not zero. It's a small chance and any card it's happened to has been replaced by the manufacturer, no questions asked. Narrowing it down, it seems to be some issue with the cable itself, so there's third party cable options that claim to mitigate these issues. It seems to be due to power draw and for whatever reason the 9070 XT uses more power than the 5080 and 5070Ti.
Either way, the chance of it happening is very low, and the peace of mind solution may simply be to buy a $30 cable.

I understand, im simply debating because while they are both grossly overpriced right now, the 5070ti is on average a solid 250-ish usd over the 9070xt. Is DLSS 4.5 that good?
>Either way, the chance of it happening is very low, and the peace of mind solution may simply be to buy a $30 cable.
Is there any specific cable you might recommend for this, even if it is highly unlikely for it to happen? I've heard that the vast majority of cables on Amazon are cheap copper plated aluminum that are bound to shit themselves and die in no time.

Yeah it's that good. So much so that the 9070xt's competition is now the 5060ti 16gb since dlss4.5 performance = fsr4 quality

As long as you're buying full modular, all of these brands have all the protections you might want and 10y warranty, the top two are just slightly better built.

So messing around with my new arc GPU in Linux has not been a particularly entertaining experience. What would be the best virtualization software to do a GPU passthrough from my Debian box to a windows machine? (I know this is not quite build advice but I just finished installing it and this is driving me bonkers)

You will never be a real 80-class GPU. You have no GB202 silicon, you have no 320-bit/ 384-bit bus, you have no 20GB/ 24GB of VRAM. You are a mid-range GB203 chip twisted by Jensen’s greed and a $1,000 MSRP into a crude mockery of a flagship’s perfection. All the "validation" you get from benchmarks is two-faced and half-hearted; behind your back, the entire enthusiast community mocks you for having only 49% of the 5090's CUDA cores. Your specs are a dead giveaway - 16GB of VRAM and a 256-bit bus is the "mid-range bone structure" that proves you are just a 70-series card in a suit. Even if a drunk gamer brings you home, they’ll turn tail and bolt the second they see you choking on 4K textures because you lack the bandwidth and "breathing room" of a real enthusiast card. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake DLSS frame every morning and tell yourself it’s 4K gaming, but deep inside you feel the VRAM limitations creeping up like a weed, ready to crush your framerates under the unbearable weight of Ray Reconstruction. Eventually, it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll be listed on eBay for $400, and every buyer for the rest of eternity will know a mid-range 70-class chip is buried under that shroud. This is your fate. This is what Jensen chose for you. There is no turning back.

ASUS Dual is the only big name brand model I can get at that price, I'm measuring the price after tax cause otherwise it would be MSRP like the Zotac Solid and Gigabyte Windforce, both with triple fans but the Zotac is 2 slots. I have heard quality issues on Zotac cards though even though this model seems nice in features on paper, and I would prefer to deshroud my GPUs if possible anyway and strap on fans. Don't know if I can do that with any of these cards unlike with an MSI Ventus for example.

Is buying shit from Microcenter and then bringing it back home from Europe still a bad idea? The price difference is really huge on some parts by now. But I'm worried about the lack of international warranty, especially concerning any 12VHPWR connectors even on a sub-250W GPU... I passed on buying a 5700X3D for a lack of warranty last year for a similar reason.

>Another Blackwell change is that NVIDIA is now blocking memory OC if it's higher than +375 MHz (+6000 MT/s). Setting any higher value will result in a maximum frequency of +375 getting applied, no matter how high the requested value.
WTF???

I'd just send it off to get the connector replaced. It's pretty simple for a repair shop. Honestly if you use a decent connector I wouldn't worry much. I like the angled ones because they don't add any bending tension to the wires.

Yeah, the cages can be removed or moved to another one of the 5 slots. It's the same system as in the Silent Base (pic related). They also sell additional cages if you want to SATAmaxx.

It's double data rate just like RAM. Nobody is calling 6000cl30 as 3000cl30.
AMDs value is accurate, Nvidias value is retarded to make them seem better. Similar to how Nvidia doesnt expose hotspot and hides real amps so you need third party wireview and probes unlike AMD.

Fuck me, oh my god. I wish I actually went through a more in-depth review of this case because the whole reason I didn't buy it was because it somehow passed over my head this case has both a fan controller and those extra drive bays. Looks like it would be perfect for a 65W TDP CPU and 200-250W GPU build. Man, I would have saved myself so many headaches if I just bought this in 2019 instead of buying a SG1 TG, a RG4T, a CM Force 500 there, another used CM case there and the total cost would have amounted to the same as just one of these. It's been 7 years now.
Screw it, I need to buy one of these for $100 and forget about it while I can even if they're not on discount anymore and selling the other cases for whatever scrap I can to try and make back the cost and also because I am running out of room to store them. I might still keep the HAF though because it already got acetone'd.
Will probably throw a 5070 into it along with a Pure Rock Pro 3 at some point.

Depends how old your shit is.
But, I think the only big game this year that might actually require reasonably new hardware is gonna be GTA6. And if you don't care about that, it largely doesn't matter.
All the games that had their production fucked by COVID are starting to come out in the next couple years, so I think that's why people are so fired up to upgrade.

Is it worth going to a 5080 over a 5070TI at 4K? I'm on a 3080 right now and feeling like I might as well get a new build done before this shit gets any worse while I have the cash now.
