I'm surprised the switch 2 handles the game this well

[brisk topaz]

Is an rx 9070 xt worth an upgrade over my rx 7900 xt?

[unkempt lake]

no

unless you want better ray tracing

[brisk topaz]

I never turn on ray tracing as it is lol

[gusty kiln]

barely faster

and can't find 9070xts at the "msrp" atm

[cursive summit]

https://uspto.report/TM/99370861

Steam Frame is either Deckard or the Steam PC

Either way, weird name

[gusty kiln]

[brisk topaz]

Damn are any cards that arent nvidia worth an upgrade over my 7900 xt?

[old marlin]

the 9070xt is the fastest they offer rn

[gusty kiln]

if you can find a 7900xtx cheap

but wait for next gen

AMD might actually compete

[old marlin]

and the only "worthwhile" nvidia card that is actually significantly faster is the 5090

[brisk topaz]

Alright.

What about an upgrade from my 7800x3d is there anything worth it to upgrade from that yet

[old marlin]

brother

[gusty kiln]

lmao

[old marlin]

are we your search engine

[gusty kiln]

your PC is still good for another 5 years

[old marlin]

and why are you so desparate to just throw money in a hole

[steady sail]

me with this pc im, fine

[gusty kiln]

5800X3D da goat

[steady sail]

indeed

[brisk topaz]

Lol no i was just asking for advice since im out of the loop on whats good and bad

[steady sail]

u dont need any update for a long while

[brisk topaz]

Alright sweet thank you

How much more frames does the xtx get than the xt at 4k

My displays 4k 144>|

[gusty kiln]

like 10 fps

you aren't getting a huge jump unless you get a 4090 or 5090

[brisk topaz]

Yea nah f nvidia

[gusty kiln]

just gotta wait

[brisk topaz]

Yep

[steady sail]

next gen maybe

[brisk topaz]

I do need new case fans i know that hahahah i got the bad arctic fans that click bad above 600rpm

[gusty kiln]

the older ones?

[halcyon moss]

https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-arc-pro-b50-linux

[brisk topaz]

Yes

They drive me nuts. What are good fans to get

[unkempt lake]

Ever thought about rmaing them?

[unkempt lake]

I just use noctuas along with the fractal fans that came with my meshify 2xl

[brisk topaz]

I do love noctua maybe il lgo that route

[vagrant pagoda]

i wish notua would make a 180

[lyric hatch]

Just buy a case that has normal fan size

[steady sail]

my bequiet pure base 500dx case with basic bequeit fans in it

Just put 140s everywhere

[wheat plume]

HAH, Sony raised the price of all PS5 models AND reduced the storage to 820GB

its now 525 euro for base PS5 Digital

[gusty kiln]

But at this point, who is buying a ps5?

[ashen spindle]

no they are reducing storage of the slim model to not raise prices

[reef patrol]

I mean... that's just raising prices by another name.

[ashen spindle]

also the prices are being raised in the US because tarrifs, thats not a HA sony is shit moment

[ashen spindle]

yeah but lana was saying as if they are doing both on the same model

[reef patrol]

I didn't see that.

[vagrant pagoda]

180 chonk though

[ashen spindle]

but yeah its not a price increase outside the US so the point is moot, you can say thanks trump for that

[gusty kiln]

Only see silverstone as another 180mm fan producer

https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/fans/AP184iPRO/

Penetrator

[unkempt lake]

lana not understanding tariffs be like

[ashen spindle]

no its just lana having a hate boner for sony

[wheat plume]

They did this in Europe, not the US

[ashen spindle]

they did that in april...

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/S3fB4S5niK8

heres the video

[unkempt lake]

lana is like fucking internet explorer

[wheat plume]

that has all the details

uploaded 45 minutes ago

[ashen spindle]

I dont care about weird videos, sony is increasing the prices in the US only

[unkempt lake]

literally lana use your fucking brain i beg you

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-digital-edition-reportedly-gets-surprise-downgrade-in-europe/1100-6534436/

[ashen spindle]

yes lana those are two different things

the slim model is going to 825gb

the US models are getting a price increase

[vagrant pagoda]

they are worst than fractals

[ashen spindle]

and the lower ssd is because people are probably more fine with that rather than another price increase

[unkempt lake]

never used one of fractal's 180mm fans but their 140mm fans are solid

[vagrant pagoda]

got 4 in my torrent

[unkempt lake]

most people swap out the ssd anyways

[ashen spindle]

lol no most people wont touch it and just uninstall stuff

[unkempt lake]

im saying people who'd care

about 60gb of storage

[ashen spindle]

sure

[unkempt lake]

also another thing to consider

the euro is worth less than it used to be

[ashen spindle]

other way around, euro is worth more, usd is falling

[unkempt lake]

im talking compared to when the ps5 originally launched

not recently

[ashen spindle]

its basically back to what it was when ps5 launched

[unkempt lake]

it has been going back up tho

[vagrant pagoda]

also with the way nand as been in the time seice the lanch of the ps5 its gotta be almost nothing in bom cost

[ashen spindle]

they were breaking even with ps5 for a few quarters but now we dont know and its likely sold at slight cost again

[gusty kiln]

Rip

[ashen spindle]

youtube name looked familiar, put it in discord search, yup its a ragebait channel and lana's been falling for it for years

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean the thumbnail should tell you its ragebait

[ashen spindle]

well could've been a one off idk

or been the first time she linked something

[smoky sleet]

Hi, would a 5070Ti & Ryzen 7 7800X3D be good enough for heavy video editing, 3D modelling/rendering, music prod, gaming in 2k..? 🙏

[ashen spindle]

yes

[smoky sleet]

Thanks because I don't trust chatgpt

[brisk topaz]

AI bad

[vagrant pagoda]

they wasnt supposed to be trusted in the first place

[smoky sleet]

Well he said the 5070 wasn't even released yet

[brisk topaz]

Yea but we live among a society that is gullible and believes everything

[wheat plume]

now I wonder if there is a way to make the power led darker on my laptop, its really bright in a dark room

[vagrant pagoda]

sharpie

[wheat plume]

and possibly leave a power button shaped outline on my screen? xd

[gentle osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4XZPrM
$1700 Build I made for someone, told them they can swap out 9070XT for 5070TI for $50 more

USD

[brisk topaz]

I actually like that build a lot.

First time ive seen a pcpartpicker that id copy paste for my own build

[fair gull]

if your screen gets close enough to RUB OFF dried sharpie.... you have bigger issues to worry about

[brisk topaz]

Oil based sharpie will adhere better than standard sharpie.

Gotta let it dry before touching though. Let it dry for 24 hours and itll be permanent

[vagrant pagoda]

you mean paint market?

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah thats just a paint market, in sharipie branding

[brisk topaz]

Yea. Normal sharpie always rubbed off for me. But those oil based ones pictured never rubbed off for me

[vagrant pagoda]

its just oil based paint in a tube

[brisk topaz]

Yep but its better than normal sharpie if wanting permanent

[somber coral]

One time when I was younger I used tape and sharpie as my budget Crosshair X for fn

[vagrant pagoda]

its not a marker though

[brisk topaz]

I never said marker. I said sharpie

[fair gull]

oil based paint markers? wut

not lacquer based ones?

[brisk topaz]

Lacquer rubs off metal and polymer. Oil based is permanent when dried.

At least in my experience. My sweat always made normal sharpies rub off when using them for marking my gear

[vagrant pagoda]

lacquer is either oil or plastic

[fair gull]

the eddings i used were water based

didnt come off unless seriously scratched/sanded

[vagrant pagoda]

prob so you cant huff them

[fair gull]

na they called them economic or smth

they also used recycled plastics for housing etc

[vagrant pagoda]

paint markers are like 99 cents

[fair gull]

try more like 5 bucks a pop

lol

thats what i had to pay for them

[vagrant pagoda]

rip

[fair gull]

still like shaking the ball in them though

satisfying

[vagrant pagoda]

who dosent like the juggles some balls in thier hand when they are bored XD

[fair gull]

idk man the spray paint like rattle is just satisfying

be it actual spraypaint can or a lacquer marker

[brisk topaz]

Bro what the

Im just gonna… exit after that one

[vagrant pagoda]

[somber coral]

Idk if I can call it WiFi if it’s cat8 Ethernet

My home WiFi has similar download tho 💪💪

[velvet fable]

Cat8

[somber coral]

It’s like 20$ bro

[velvet fable]

I get like 100+ ping on a good day 😭

[somber coral]

I think my mobo maxes out at 1gb/s port :(

[velvet fable]

Cwazy

[fair gull]

no

wifi specifically is wireless networking

if it has a wire for networking its not wifi

not to mention wifi is sort of a trademark stamp if you finish compliance testing according to the wifi alliance

[swift grotto]

Ethernet diff

[crystal summit]

Mine is in the living room and my setup is in my bed room so I can really do ethernet

[somber coral]

Same I still have like 1gb download tho lmao

[crystal summit]

I get 80 ping on Fortnite though T_T

[lyric hatch]

My Internet last night

[crystal summit]

What that's so confusing

[somber coral]

Is the second one fine or should I try to go for the first one

I’ll be moving one monitor around and keep the other one stationary

[tepid lynx]

i have one exactly like the second one and its only fine if you aren't moving a monitor around like ever imo

[somber coral]

Ok thanks lol

[dapper cape]

What’s the desk setup is it close to a wall? If so I’d go with the 1st option
If you have don’t have the space id go with style 2

[somber coral]

I have an idasen which is basically against the wall, I can move it a bit away though I’m not forced into it

[dapper cape]

I’ll send pics of my setup tomorrow I have a wall mounted desk that uses butcher blocks and there isn’t a whole lot of space but me being me went with the style 1 and it lead me to less then ideal monitor placements but it works just not as great as I’d hoped

[dull hollow]

the first one will sit really far into the desk

[dapper cape]

^ this

[dull hollow]

if its up against a wall

[crystal summit]

Do wooting boards got custom RGB?

[dull hollow]

my desk is about 60.25 x 34in and i say its about 1/2 way deep, so like if its against a wall, itll come out 17 inches

thats with the stand base dead center

[somber coral]

My current monitor arm looks like the first option

But yk it has one arm not two

[dull hollow]

just get a single arm

[crystal summit]

Bro I don't even have a moniter arm I just use the stand -_-

[dull hollow]

having 2-in-1 is a lot worse

your monitor movements are so limited

[somber coral]

I used a 60hz 1080p until I was 12 terrible life I had

[somber coral]

Fuck is a 2in1

[crystal summit]

It's a 240 hz

[dull hollow]

a single stand with 2 arms

[somber coral]

L imagine not 1440p

[somber coral]

Oh so second

[crystal summit]

Idk what pixels let me check on website

[dull hollow]

yes a second single arm

[somber coral]

I kinda want to get one of the two in ones but with just one in one

It’s like 20$

[dull hollow]

i wanna move my stand but its doing too much

and i dont think the hdmi cable from the g60sd is gonna reach the pc

[somber coral]

I wanna get an ITX I can mount like

[crystal summit]

It says 1920x1080

[somber coral]

Right below my desk

[somber coral]

21” 1080p or 24”

[crystal summit]

It's 27 inch if that's what you mean

[somber coral]

DAMN what for 1920?

[crystal summit]

Yeah

[somber coral]

Wait I thought like 27” would be 2560x1080

I guess I’m dumb

[crystal summit]

Nope it's the cheapest I could find

Cause I can't afford anything else

[somber coral]

Anyways imagine not having 480hz oled

[somber coral]

240hz?

[crystal summit]

I'm 13 not enough money -_-

[somber coral]

Imagine being 13 (I’m 14)

[crystal summit]

Yeah I wanted 240

[somber coral]

Tbf when I was 13 I was rocking a 2560x1440 144hz so not much better if better at all

I would rather 144hz 1440p then 240 1080

[crystal summit]

Idc really just wanted it for fortnite

[dull hollow]

bro quit complaining when i was 13 i had a 60hz office monitor 🥀

[crystal summit]

Rip

[dull hollow]

i got 144 when i was i think…. 15? 16?

and i just got 360 last year

[somber coral]

Ok guys should I just move to ITX or should I buy an X670 atx and save money

[leaden kiln]

I still have a 60hz monitor 👴

[dull hollow]

my secondary is 100

[crystal summit]

But my pc run 240 FPS so I wanted a 240 hz

[somber coral]

Haha imagine not having 360hz oled second monitor and 144hz VA third monitor

laughs in spoiled brat

jkjk I got the oleds myself chill

[crystal summit]

Imma save for a better moniter after

[somber coral]

And also like 80% of the VA So like uh

Basically the whole thing

[crystal summit]

Bro I got that 1 moniter set-up

[somber coral]

Listen my mom didn’t get me a Christmas present for like 4 hyesrs because I never really wanted anything within the 50$ budget so she just covers some stuff here and there

[somber coral]

[somber coral]

1gbps I think

Also yes I have a cat8 cable

[gusty kiln]

You just need a nic

2.5 gig nic are like $20

[somber coral]

This guy has ddr4 in a 200$ case or smth

[velvet fable]

Solid pc.

[dull hollow]

4 sticks 🥀

[unkempt lake]

Nothing wrong if its ddr4

Not everything is ddr5

Dummy

[dull hollow]

you rn

[dull hollow]

my 3700x can barely handle 3

got unlucky

[unkempt lake]

Your 3700x sucks

[dull hollow]

not my problem anymore, now its my little brothers

[unkempt lake]

also the fuck you mean 3

[velvet fable]

I use 3 sticks of ddr5 at 4800 mhz

[dull hollow]

[vagrant pagoda]

5800x3d is like 1-2% slower unless you play 1080p with a 5090

[dull hollow]

well 4 sticks straight up just doesnt work so 3 for 24gbs of ram

[vagrant pagoda]

lmao

wtf bro

rip your memory latancy

what even is a memory rank

[unkempt lake]

I'd rather run 16gb than that

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean like 50 bucks for 32gb

[dull hollow]

i think theres only 2 in my bros pc cause i couldnt be assed to get 4 to work and 3 was 50/50

[unkempt lake]

You just had a dead memory channel

Common ryzen 3000 failure

[vagrant pagoda]

are you getting ram from used soviet space craft?

[dull hollow]

i might as well be bro

[vagrant pagoda]

also 16/32 gig sticks are so cheap these days

[dull hollow]

well i got it before am5 existed

[vagrant pagoda]

im saying ddr4

[dull hollow]

and i dont feel like putting more money into the am4 platform

lowk dont even know what games my brother plays

i think this guy is just roblox icl

[vagrant pagoda]

my kit was like $160 bucks for 32x2 and its running 3800 cl16

i mean a 5800x3d with 3600cl14 is within a few percent of am5 x3d at 1440 or 4k

[dull hollow]

i think the most demanding game this guy plays is probably fn or apex

im not sure if he plays either of those now tho

[vagrant pagoda]

im not saying you should

[somber coral]

Fn is pretty demanding no?

[vagrant pagoda]

just saying am4 is fine if you got x3d

[vagrant pagoda]

fn runs on potato

[somber coral]

I can’t get 360fps unless I’m on pro settings

I have a 4080s/7800x3d btw

[vagrant pagoda]

if you can get over 300 fps it isnt hard to run lol

[somber coral]

Only on pro settings, on normal low settings I’m below 360 on a high end rig

It is an esports game though

The people that play it for fun complain about then nerfing broken weapons so

[brisk topaz]

Can anyone help me put together a pcpartpicker list for a new build? I fucked up. Killed my pc

Or recommend a prebuilt?

So sad

What cpu would be fine for 4k gaming?

[unkempt lake]

What do you mean by "killed your pc"

[brisk topaz]

My pc was in a dirty home i was renting. High traffic shoes worn inside etc with pc sitting on the floor. I was disinfecting it to transport it to my new place. Well i air dried it and let it sit for 48 hours. And then i went to boot. It was fine for about 5 min then it popped and shut off and was lifeless.

[unkempt lake]

Your cpu is most likely fine

Also wtf do you mean you were disinfecting it

With what water???

[brisk topaz]

Lysol

[unkempt lake]

...

Well your motherboard is toast

[brisk topaz]

Entire pc toast

[unkempt lake]

Your cpu is fine

[brisk topaz]

Doubtful

[unkempt lake]

I bet its fine

[brisk topaz]

It popped prettly loudly lol

Either way. Im gonna just build a new pc. Could i do another 4k capable pc for around 1 grand?

[glass stag]

What the actual fuck did I just read?

Did you spray Lysol inside your case?

[unkempt lake]

Darwin award of the year goes to

[brisk topaz]

Like i said i fucked up

[crisp granite]

homie is playing 69D chess machine

[brisk topaz]

Yep darwin award gors to me for 2025

[crisp granite]

that PC so clean it decided to never be dirty again

[brisk topaz]

Hahahaha

[glass stag]

I'm sorry but you gotta change your name, ain't nothing wise in there

[brisk topaz]

HAHAHA i will if you guys help me

[unkempt lake]

Take out your cpu and physically inspect it, i'm pretty sure its fine

[brisk topaz]

I did it had two black burnt spots on the bottom

[unkempt lake]

Oh lol

[brisk topaz]

Like i said i need to just build a new pc or buy a prebuilt lol

[unkempt lake]

Well im going to bed

[brisk topaz]

Bro 🙁

[unkempt lake]

You can wait a few hours :P

Not like it will show up instantly anyways

[crisp granite]

https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/QkrxFT/great-amd-gaming-build

build is always better

this is a good base
throw more money into your GPU if you must
you SHOULD be able to at least salvage your old case, MAYBE PSU, so take any extra funds from that into a better GPU

[crisp granite]

I'd also physically check your parts one by one
see what you can salvage before just building entirely fresh

[brisk topaz]

Is a 7700 rx 7800 xt prebuilt for $1300 a good deal?

[unkempt lake]

No

[glass stag]

Ram sticks are probably fine too I'm guessing

Unless they're circuit board ram and not covered

[unkempt lake]

Also what country are you in

[brisk topaz]

Usa

[unkempt lake]

If you have a microcenter nearby

[brisk topaz]

Could i build that for less?

[brisk topaz]

Best buy

[unkempt lake]

Go grab a 7600x3d bundle

Oh

[brisk topaz]

Microcenter is over 9 hours one way

Wait wtf they put a new microcenter 2 hours from me

[unkempt lake]

Go grab one of their 7600x3d bundles

[brisk topaz]

Do they come with a gpu

[unkempt lake]

I belueve you get a discount on a gpu

Something like a 9060xt is super good

For the price

16gb version

[somber coral]

Worth

[unkempt lake]

It's what @glass stag just built, handles 1440p like a dream

[brisk topaz]

Theychave a 7700x bundle
Mobo ram for $400

[unkempt lake]

Ye thats good too

[brisk topaz]

Would that be fine at 4k

If so i could spend more on the gpu

[glass stag]

I just noticed your profile picture and I can't stop thinking it's the one braincell saying to spray Lysol on electronics with exposed circuit boards lmao

Like for an oven display it's fine, but not on a motherboard with exposed pins and all

[unkempt lake]

Yes

You could also be fine with a 7600

[glass stag]

@brisk topaz do you also clean your monitor and tv with lysol or was this a one off?

[brisk topaz]

How would a 9060 xt do at 4k

[brisk topaz]

One off

[digital cliff]

when they say your PC has a virus it's not the kind you kill with disinfectant you know

[brisk topaz]

Would a 9060 xt do good at 4k

[glass stag]

Idk, I only play 1440p on mine

Could probably do it with FSR balanced

Fsr4 is good, looks as good as dlss if not better

[digital cliff]

you can just find this info online

[glass stag]

I noticed in Indiana Jones, the FSR 4 quality actually looked better than native

[brisk topaz]

What about this

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/ibuypower-tracemesh-gaming-desktop-amd-ryzen-7-7700-32gb-ddr5-ram-amd-radeon-rx-7800xt-16gb-2tb-nvme-ssd-black/J3R75JLVXL

[digital cliff]

compare to the same build made on pcpartpicker

[brisk topaz]

With a 1tb drive on pcpartpicker its close to $1400

[glass stag]

Your current drives might be fine

[brisk topaz]

Are prebuilts bad or are they fine

[glass stag]

Mobo and cpu seem dead for sure, idk about the rest

[brisk topaz]

Wait thag prebuilt is $1400

[glass stag]

You pay extra for not building it yourself

If your current components still work, then it's just wasting money on those parts

[brisk topaz]

*they do not work i said this already. It is dead. *

[glass stag]

Plus sometimes prebuilts aren't put together well enough so you sometimes need to open it up anyway and reseat ram, redo thermal paste and such

[glass stag]

Mobo and cpu yes, what about the rest

You can't exactly test the rest without a working Mobo/cpu

[digital cliff]

yeah buy a prebuilt if it's good value

fix issues with prebuilt if it has some

profit

[glass stag]

And whatever you do, don't spray it with lysol

And don't put it in the dishwasher either

[brisk topaz]

Is amd still better than intel

[brisk topaz]

Hey man. My glock doesnt complain when its ran through the dishwasher

Lmao

[glass stag]

From what I've heard AMD cpu let's your GPU work better, which means better 4k gaming i guess

[umbral heron]

Yup
I really want something good from Intel rn

[brisk topaz]

Good psu?

https://www.microcenter.com/product/668876/msi-mag-a850gl-pcie5-850-watt-80-plus-gold-atx-fully-modular-power-supply-atx-31-compatible

For 7700x and rx 9060 xt

[umbral heron]

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

850W is more than enough for 7700X and 9060XT

[brisk topaz]

I dont see the msi mag there

[glass stag]

I got an old 860w for 7600X3D/9060XT

According to @unkempt lake a 500w would be fine

9060xt is very power effecient

[umbral heron]

I have an 850W for 9950X3D + 7900XTX
You'll be fine

[brisk topaz]

Is that particular msi psu a good unit?

[umbral heron]

Tier C it looks like, so not great, not terrible

[brisk topaz]

Oof

[umbral heron]

Check if you can find XPG Core Reactor II VE 850W for cheap

[glass stag]

As long as you're not getting the exploding gigabyte power supply, you'll be fine with most

[brisk topaz]

Corsair rm850x is good yea?

Good case?

https://www.microcenter.com/product/681551/XR_Tempered_Glass_ATX_Mid-Tower_Computer_Case_-_Black

[umbral heron]

Eyup, great one

[brisk topaz]

$1164.94 for a 7700x rx 9060 xt build through microcenter

[umbral heron]

These cheap cases are always like made out of seemingly flimsy sheet metal, but are built like a tank

[brisk topaz]

As a metal worker, youd be surprised how strong flimsy sheet metal is lmao

Its aluminum you gotta worry about.

Found a cheaper rx 9060 xt. Powercolor devil something. $120 less

[umbral heron]

Powercolor good

[brisk topaz]

1074.94 with that gou

Gigabyte b650 board thats bundled a good board?

[umbral heron]

Sounds good
Check if you can find 6000 CL30 ram sticks, they should be like $10 more expensive, but there will be a bit of performance boost

[brisk topaz]

Okay

Bundled currently is 6000cl36

It doesnt let me modify the bundle @umbral heron

Nvm i figured out how hang on

Im a boomer so im slow

6000cl30 is $200 more @umbral heron

Nvm

[raw zephyr]

6000cl36 is fine, you could manually tweak it and get it down to cl30

[brisk topaz]

Combo went from $400 to $560 with the cheapest 6000cl30 i could find

[brisk topaz]

Hwo much performance do i leave on the table

[raw zephyr]

3-5% max

[brisk topaz]

Not worth the extra cost imo

[umbral heron]

Ow
Yeah, go for CL36

[brisk topaz]

Ty for the tip just in case calsy!

[raw zephyr]

in most new games you won't see a difference

[brisk topaz]

Can the rx 9060 xt do 144hz in competitive multiplayer games at 4k?

Also samsung 990 evo 2tb a good ssd?

[raw zephyr]

if the game is from like 2012, probably; new games i don't think so

yes good ssd

[brisk topaz]

I can drop resolution to 1080p if needed i think my lg c4 can be fine at 1080p?

[raw zephyr]

you should check benchmarks on youtube with the games you want to play, but 9060xt is mostly a 1080p maybe 1440p card

[brisk topaz]

Would i be fine playing at 1080/1440p on an lg c4?

[raw zephyr]

yeah, you wont get as much fidelity, but it's definitely doable, especially if you sit a couple of meters away

[brisk topaz]

I sit about 8 feet away lol

[raw zephyr]

yeah you will be fine

[brisk topaz]

Would i notice much of a difference?

[raw zephyr]

if you sit that far, most probably not

[brisk topaz]

Whats a good 4k card otherwise thats not like a grand lol

Rtx 4070 ti?

[raw zephyr]

from amd, i would pick the 7900xtx

[brisk topaz]

Either side

[raw zephyr]

from nvidia i would say 4070ti and up, so 4080, 4090, 5080 and 5090

[brisk topaz]

What about 9070 xt

Fuck its like $700

[raw zephyr]

my bad i meant 4070ti super, 4070ti only has 12g of vram, which is limiting on 4k

if you are on a budget, i would look for second hand cards

especially the 7900xtx, it's a beast for it's price

if i didn't have a decent deal on a 5090 i would've stuck with the 7900xtx for the next couple of years

[brisk topaz]

What about rtx 5060 ti

[raw zephyr]

i would say a decent 1080p card, but nothing else

you will be vram limited in almost all modern games

[vapid ruin]

there's 5060ti 16gb

[brisk topaz]

Yea thats what i meant

[umbral heron]

But even base 4070 is better than 5060Ti

[brisk topaz]

Rtx 5060ti 16gb

[brisk topaz]

I cant find any 4000 series in stock

[raw zephyr]

thanks for pointing that out, didn't know

i thought they only made the 8g version

[vapid ruin]

lmao, I just hope 5070tiS is 10% better than 4070tiS

oh yeah, there's also the 9060xt 16gb

[umbral heron]

[vapid ruin]

at least 5070tiS is 20% better

[brisk topaz]

Just lost power. In the woods in the dark alone lol

Pitch black out here spooky.

[vapid ruin]

So I can almost assume 5070tiS to be as good as 4090

[brisk topaz]

Keep me company guys honestly creeped out

Went to my truck for light and ac and this is what i see. So dark. Powers out

Also i could swing an rx 9070

Is that a good 4k card?

Im gona go with 9070 looking at benchmarks it looks good

Also gigabyte b650 motherboard is fine?

@umbral heron

[umbral heron]

Eyup
Will work with 7xxx just fine, if you'd want tu upgrade CPU in the future you'll have to update BIOS, but that's 5 minutes of work
But $200 seems a bit too much for it

We have it for 150€ around here

[brisk topaz]

Just noticed the mobo is only pcie 4.0, would that affect the rx 9070? @umbral heron

[umbral heron]

Nope

No card on market can even saturate PCIe 3.0 now

[brisk topaz]

So its not worth it to spend more for a pcie 5.0 setup?

[umbral heron]

For 5.0 certainly not
I'd say get 4.0, because it'll be more future-proof, but 5.0 is not worth it

[brisk topaz]

Okay.

Is 7600x3d worth over 7700x? @umbral heron

$50 more for 7600x3d

[umbral heron]

If you can get it, and you want PC mostly for gaming then yeah
Games love X3D cache, and it'll be more beneficial than 2 more cores

[lunar elm]

pure gaming id say yes

[brisk topaz]

Okay

How much fps do i lose only beign with pcie 4.0?

[umbral heron]

None
You won't lose anything with 3.0 either still

[brisk topaz]

Really now?

[umbral heron]

Maybe like a 1% with 5090

[lunar elm]

pcie 4 vs 5 with my 5090 i lost like 0.2% fps

[brisk topaz]

Wow ok

[umbral heron]

PCIe version matters more for SSDs speed, not really GPUs
But even SSDs can't really max out 4.0

[lunar elm]

and for synthetic 3dmark timespy 4.0 won xd

its margin of error

[brisk topaz]

About $1500 for this build. But rx 9070 is solid for 4k right?

@umbral heron

[umbral heron]

For medium... maybe? Not sure, I'm on 1440p

[lunar elm]

I have a guy who tried that and its okay with FSR4

but with raytracing even with FG it gets brought to its knees

[pastel galleon]

hello cals

[lunar elm]

in cp2077

[brisk topaz]

I dont care for raytracing lol

I just want 4k 144hz for multiplayer games

[lunar elm]

im just sayin man

4k in CP2077 rt enabled with FSR4 FG it only got like 20 fps

[brisk topaz]

Does it do fine at 4k without raytracing

Whats a better raytracing card same price then

[lunar elm]

5070

[lunar elm]

eh its fine, CP2077 iirc was a stable 60 fps region

[brisk topaz]

How much better is it

[lunar elm]

i think it was with FSR4

[brisk topaz]

Benchmarks show rx 9070 is faster ?

[lunar elm]

in raster yes

in RT 5070 wins

but both cards are unsuitable for 4k RT

[brisk topaz]

Only 12gb vram though?

[lunar elm]

9070 falls to its lack of “horsepower” RT capabilities
5070 falls to its lack of vram

And both are with their respective upscalers

neat trick for DLSS4 is you can slap performance on 4k and it’ll still look good

because it renders at like 1080p so it has enough pixel data to look good

if you can hold out for a 5070 super or save for a 5070ti/5070TiS that would be better if you really want high end experience

And in case anybody is gonna say 5090, no imo thats not a high end card anymore- Thats enthusiast level of performance in its own world

[brisk topaz]

Idk everything im seeing says 9070 is better..

[marsh glade]

9070 is better because it is not Nvidia

[brisk topaz]

Hahahaha

[lunar elm]

Yeah its better raster and VRAM wise

[brisk topaz]

@marsh glade so go 9070 not 5070?

[lunar elm]

What Im bringing up is just other debating points

[brisk topaz]

Should i spend $100 more for 9070 xt or stick with 9070? I see gamersnexus says 9070 is more power efficient which i like

[marsh glade]

I have a 9070XT and I am very happy with it

[brisk topaz]

Im not a debater. I like cold cut straight to the point no bs

[brisk topaz]

Awesome.

[lunar elm]

Owh you got a 9070XT from what was it, a 3080 if I remember?

[marsh glade]

3070

[brisk topaz]

Is the asrock steel legend a fine card

[lunar elm]

Since you dont plan on RT, sure 9070

Yeah

All the current gen cards dont run that hot

if you want a model comparison for temps I’d recommend this https://youtu.be/C2v-9UNoW84?si=m6ja5D4nle9PQQrm

[brisk topaz]

Good because my last pc acted like a space heater if i didnt max the fans out

And its already 100+ here

Is rx 9070 xt amd’s fastest card currently?

Would a 7600x3d bottleneck it?

[lunar elm]

Technically what you’re saying is false, Im gonna assume what you mean is that ur GPU temp is hot

1: Yes
2: No, bottleneck is a very loose word.

[brisk topaz]

No no i mean that when i was gaming it would noticably raise the temps in my room by enough to make me sweat even with ac going lol

It acted like a little mini heater during games

My tv also does that though

[lunar elm]

Thats normal. The heat generated by components has to go somewhere.

[brisk topaz]

If i dont run the ac with my tv on my tv will radiate heat on me make me sweat. It gets hot

[lunar elm]

The heat generated by devices doesnt magically disappear

[marsh glade]

The reason I bought AMD was because Nvidia has shown me that they fully and firmly don't give a shit about gamers.

It's not that this bruises my ego, no corporation cares. It's that this insane level of disregard has real-world consequences as it relates to driver support, product offerings, and innovation on features.

[brisk topaz]

I stopped liking nvidia when i had constant driver crashes and bsod with error codes pertaining to gpu driver constantly even with rma’d nvidia cards still had the issue even on different builds had the issue

My last pc with an amd card zero crashing

[lunar elm]

corps dont care in the first place, personally I dont give a shit about such “things”, I get what fits my performance wants

Ive personally had driver problems on both sides this gen, both quality wise and just the drivers shitting themselves

[brisk topaz]

Yes

[digital cliff]

I've not had driver problems with graphics cards in my 15+ years of gaming

[brisk topaz]

Must be nice

[unkempt lake]

@brisk topaz get this

[lunar elm]

mine isnt just pure gaming, I fiddle with tuning shit

[unkempt lake]

spray lysol on your components for max performance 🔥🔥🔥

[unkempt lake]

Well lysol would make it a clean dick

[brisk topaz]

Pic still loading. Service is bad in the boonies

My internets 10mbps on fixed wireless on a good day but my pings always 8 to 14 ms lol

For games that is

[brisk topaz]

Bro hahahahahah i love you for this. Let me buy you a beer for the good humor xD

[unkempt lake]

check dms

[brisk topaz]

To be fair my computer did come from a dirty house where my room mate brought athletes foot into the carpet and my pc was on the carpet so i was paranoid

[lunar elm]

buy one of those rolling stands or smth

[brisk topaz]

Im in a new place just me.

So im not worried because i keep my floor clean lol

[lunar elm]

Is ur pc gonna be on the table this time round?

[brisk topaz]

Floor.

[lunar elm]

If no, I’d still recommend one. Dust, dead skin and hair can still easily accumulate under the PC

[brisk topaz]

All of that still can when elevated

[lunar elm]

Gravity.

[brisk topaz]

What

I have nowhere to elevate my pc here

Its going on the floor. Its hardwood floor

[lunar elm]

The floor is where all that shit will end up. Getting one of those wheel carts to put the PC on is beneficial, Ive dealt with it before

[brisk topaz]

Recommend one im open to options

[unkempt lake]

That's fine

Just make sure your pc has filters

I have cats and my pcs are fine

On hardwood

[lunar elm]

this thing

[brisk topaz]

Yea i hate carpet. Its a hardwood laminate. But im in thr woods and everything gets dirty. Soon as i step outside its dusty and dirt lol.

Should see how dirty my handgun gets

[brisk topaz]

Ive always kept my pc’s on the floor and never had issues even without filters. I just blow the dust out once a month lol

[reef patrol]

Put that PC on a table.

[brisk topaz]

My first pc was a coolermaster haf x build with zero filters and the metal mesh screens removed on the floor for 12 years

I only de dusted it once. It was fine

[unkempt lake]

no

[brisk topaz]

Literally no room for one

[unkempt lake]

pc on floor gang

[lunar elm]

if you dont have space to get what I sent

[reef patrol]

Get a better table 😄

[digital cliff]

floor is fine, cart not necessary

[lunar elm]

PC on the floor, all the shit will accumulate under the dust filter

[digital cliff]

pc goes on floor

[brisk topaz]

My problem is with the wheels it would piss me off if i bump it with my knee and it rolls away

[unkempt lake]

Put more monitors on the tables

[lunar elm]

it has locks……

[brisk topaz]

Bro you are the only one with this concern

first the 5070 now this

Your shenanigans are coming to an end.

[ashen spindle]

Have my pc on rolls as well, super nice to clean beneath it

[lunar elm]

https://tenor.com/view/sight-anime-girl-vegetables-annoyed-gif-15446051

[unkempt lake]

Only thing needed is SCREEN

[brisk topaz]

My ductless mini split filter has nothing on it when running 24/7 when i check it once a month. On month 9 the filters are still spotless. I doubt im gonna get much shit accumulating under my pc lol

Now my last house was bad. The filter was dirty within a week

[unkempt lake]

i go sleep again now

does anyone know how to drill my ear out

[brisk topaz]

Generator just backfired scared the hell out of me lmao

[brisk topaz]

Yea i have a power drill.

[unkempt lake]

great

At home ear infection remedy

[brisk topaz]

Hydrogen peroxide. Pour a little in your ear. Tilt your head to the side to keep it in. Let it soak for 10-15 min

[umbral heron]

Someone said monitors?

[brisk topaz]

Do that every 2 hours.

Your ear will feel so much better the next day

Any time i get a hang nail or ear infections thats what i do. Hydrogen peroxide soaks. Literally makes it go away the next day

[unkempt lake]

i wish it was that basic but it's a really bad one i'm on 2 different antibiotics at once

Fun stuff

[brisk topaz]

Hopefully the antibiotics dont cause you to get a fungal infection

That would be a nightmare

[unkempt lake]

dont jinx me lol

[brisk topaz]

But for real stop putting dirty things in your ear dashi

Hand sanitizer works wonders before putting things in your ears. Ask how i know

[analog sinew]

put a banana in your ear

Is ryzen 9700x worth it over 7600x3d? Both same price rn even when compared to microcenters combo for the 7600x3d

[ashen spindle]

no

[umbral heron]

For gaming? No

[brisk topaz]

Ah okay

[umbral heron]

9700X is really good if you're working on your PC and gaming occasionally
But games love that X3D cache

[marsh glade]

I just buy all my CPUs from quin, can't go wrong

[brisk topaz]

What about intel 14700k?

[umbral heron]

Nooooo

[marsh glade]

Intel bad m'kay?

[brisk topaz]

Hahahahahah

[steady sail]

if u want a cpu that can kill it self sure xd

[brisk topaz]

I still reminisce my i5 2500k

[umbral heron]

Intel 13000/14000 is not good

[steady sail]

i5's are okay from that gen

i7's and i9's are nono

[brisk topaz]

I forget which cpu cooler is better. Phantom spirit or peerless assassin?

Been a while since i had to look at pc stuff

[umbral heron]

Whichever is cheaper

[steady sail]

both do a great job

[brisk topaz]

Same price on both maybe a buck or two difference

[steady sail]

i still wanna get a NH-D15 Chroma Black cpu cooler

[brisk topaz]

Boy oh boy i miss my noctua cooler i had on my amd phenom build lol

Just dont do what i did and mount it wrong thinking you had it good

[umbral heron]

Which Phenom?
It may still be compatible with AM5

[steady sail]

i do always read the manual for stuff

[brisk topaz]

Amd phenom ii x4 965 black edition with the two hidden cores unlocked to make it a 6 core cpu

That computer is looooooong gone

[umbral heron]

Ah, a great CPU
But it was AM3, so you most likely could use cooler on 7600X3D too

[brisk topaz]

That pc was back when warcraft 3 was in its prime

I was on a 1680x1050 resolution i think it was?

Gtx 260 graphics card or gtx 9800 i cant remember. Was bfg branded

[brisk topaz]

Loved it until i pulled it to upgrade my cpu and the cooler was stuck like glue and it ripped the entire socket off my motherboard with it

That made me mad enough to hate amd’s socket design at the time to go with intel lol

Cant find 7600x3d in stock anywhere besides that microcenter bundle but i hate the gigabyte board it comes with ugh

Im unsure what cpu to go with thats easy to find

[umbral heron]

Yeah, because 7600X3D is MicroCenter exclusive

[brisk topaz]

Is it wtf

[umbral heron]

It is
But it's also a really good CPU
So we kinda got pissed off that only US got it

[halcyon moss]

im sorry what?

[ashen spindle]

yes theres coolers that work on AM3/4/5

[umbral heron]

AM3 cooler on AM5

[ashen spindle]

socket dimensions ahve been very similar on amd

[frozen ingot]

it isn't anymore apparently but most places in eu hasn't bothered selling it after the fact

[brisk topaz]

US #1 lol 🙂

Im seeing the 7600x3d is only 9% slower than the 7800x3d which means jack shit at 1440p and 4k?

[umbral heron]

The higher the resolution, the more difference GPU makes than CPU
CPU matters a lot in like 1080p, on 4K you'd rather look on GPU

[brisk topaz]

Yea thats why im leaning 7600x3d then spend more for the rx 9070 xt

[halcyon moss]

ooh coolers, i thought the cpu

[umbral heron]

We need AM3 to AM5 adapters, just like I can put Canon lens on Sony camera with adapter

[ashen spindle]

theres even some you can use from AM2 still

[brisk topaz]

What was your favorite game from the am2/am3 era

[umbral heron]

Oh, a lot, but there's definitely one, Fallout: New Vegas

[brisk topaz]

I like that one

What about battlefield 2

[steady sail]

i loved BF2 when i was younger

but if i had to say one game from am2/am3 era i would say NFS Underground 1

[unkempt lake]

Canada got it tho

[steady sail]

tho to this day my favorite game is Cod 4 and Cod WAW all the time

[brisk topaz]

Cod 1, big red one, cod 2, cod 3, 4mw, waw are the goats. United offensive is so good too

Never will forget beating waw’s campaign then being thrown into zombies.

[steady sail]

i only missing Vanguard from the cod series xd

as i have Cold War on battle.net

[brisk topaz]

Where big red one

Or wait was that console only

Cod started to suck after waw

[steady sail]

cod 3 and Cod 2 Big Red One was console only

[steady sail]

nah bo1, mw2, mw3 where good

oh and i have the MW2 remastered as well

[brisk topaz]

I agree but i hated going from waw with the gore and bouncing betties to just meh claymores and blood and gore being replaced by money flying out

[steady sail]

bo1 had gore

[brisk topaz]

The small details after waw made me start to dislike cod

[brisk topaz]

Which one was the start of money flying out

[steady sail]

the old MW series never had that much gore

[brisk topaz]

Waw is the goat

[steady sail]

no that was Black Ops 3 with the cases

and Advanced Warfare was the first big money grab cod

bc of Supply Drops

[brisk topaz]

Iirc it was mw2 that started it

Where when you died money flew out instead of blood

[steady sail]

with what ? the only thing u had to pay is the DLCs

nothing else

[brisk topaz]

No im talking about blood being replaced by monet flying out of your character. Not the cash grab

[steady sail]

idk dude

i never really paid attention to that

[brisk topaz]

Sigh

My memory was correct. Mw2 was the first to do it

@steady sail

[steady sail]

idk dude that something that not big for most ppl

no-one really talked about it

[steady sail]

[brisk topaz]

Best cod mission

[steady sail]

WaW-Black Ops series was the game where gore is turned up to 11

Actually I already saw the benefit at some european websites; some vendors will offer the product for like 5€ cheaper if u do direct bank transfer than use CC

Still I took the CC €5 hit for extra safety bc ordering from abroad with bank transfer leaves you with little security

[reef patrol]

Less insurance for you, less fees for them.

[fickle ore]

Yeah sure, I just wonder what security will Digital Euro have

Can I call their support and ask my money back bc the seller is scammer?

[pale sigil]

Woah

I can buy founder edition cards

Are they just not selling lol

[halcyon moss]

nto in stock

[reef patrol]

5080 in stock here... tempting

Only....1050€

https://tenor.com/view/cash-anime-gif-22870987

[ashen spindle]

That’s nothing new FE cards in the UK and EU have been very easy to get

Wait a bit for restock and it’s in stock for days

[reef patrol]

It'll be... interesting to see how long I can stand listening to a GPU fan again 😄

[rough osprey]

Damn the FE is falling in price

[reef patrol]

Getting ready for the TI cards maybe?

[halcyon moss]

moar memory

[reef patrol]

Getting a 60% upgrade in VRAM. That'll have to do for a few more years.

[digital cliff]

just adjust the fan curve i guess

[reef patrol]

Step 1 : Empty loop
Step 2 : Get 3080 out
Step 3 : Retube with only CPU
Step 4 : Wait a week
Step 5 : Fans too damn loud, buying a new waterblock, restart at step 1 😄

[ashen spindle]

FE prices aren’t falling they are getting adjusted to USD getting weaker

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/potato-tomato-brooklyn99-gif-10539258

[ashen spindle]

Super refresh is coming whenever they get them done and want to clear out sales

[rough osprey]

70€ less then i paid (which was already after a usd euro adjustment) 😭

[somber coral]

Holy itx tax

[reef patrol]

Ah fuck. I need a new PSU. Thanks for the reminder...

[sudden imp]

Just get the 1000w one

[somber coral]

You’re welcome mansen

Here’s your first look at the Samsung Galaxy S26 dummies, Launching in February, and it looks like Samsung is going with a design very similar to the iPhone 17.

Lol ugly middle child

[gusty kiln]

Noctua edition let's gooooooooooo

[reef patrol]

[dull hollow]

js buy the racing wheel

[somber coral]

This guy’s a genius

[dull hollow]

sim racing is cool

https://tenor.com/view/btweers-treyreloaded-gif-13700830058131647973

[somber coral]

I would love to build a sim but no space and it’s so expensive

I’d rather get a 9800x3d

First

[dull hollow]

js get a desk mount for now

theres tons of 'cheap' beginner options now

[somber coral]

I can get a formd t1 and buy a riser cable separately right

[vagrant pagoda]

god damn intel just killed the home server gpu market with the b50

[gusty kiln]

Yea

[dull hollow]

ill sell you my used wheel and im gonna upgrade

[gusty kiln]

Though efficiency nerds would still use an Intel igpu

[somber coral]

30$ and a nugget

[dull hollow]

5x that fr

[gusty kiln]

5 nuggets deal

[vagrant pagoda]

as soon as sr-iov is out gonna get 2

[dull hollow]

i can get 20 for cheaper then that

[steady sail]

i give u 50$ and 5 nuggies

[dull hollow]

guys i wanna get an r5 but its 500$ i dont think $50 and 5 nuggets are gonna work

[steady sail]

so how would work 150$ ?

[dull hollow]

uhhhhh its closer

[steady sail]

[rough osprey]

we got cars with wireless charging now lol

[dull hollow]

been a thing in china, hell you have battery swapping stations

[somber coral]

T1 reference kit+pcie riser=sandwich kit right

[gusty kiln]

I would prefer the hotswap battery, but capacity would be lower

[rough osprey]

why would u hotswap when u can charge at home

[gusty kiln]

Why not hotswap at home

[vagrant pagoda]

live in the city with street/arage parking and cant charg

[rough osprey]

would cost more then the car itself lol

[gusty kiln]

Downtime is the biggest disadvantage for EV atm

[dull hollow]

🥀

[gusty kiln]

Hotswap helps alleviate that issue

[dull hollow]

i dont think im getting it any time soon

[steady sail]

holy shit

[dull hollow]

i love driving manual on sims

[rough osprey]

very niche kinda

[dull hollow]

clutch + shifter is required

[rough osprey]

only for long trips

[somber coral]

I’m so fucking confused

https://formdworks.com/collections/t1-1/products/t1-reference-kit-black-color

https://formdt1.com/products/t1ref these are the same?

[steady sail]

i had the Logitech wheel as my first and only wheel, never again

[dull hollow]

one says kit

(i looked at it for half a second)

[dull hollow]

im using the g29 rn

[somber coral]

What’s the difference

[dull hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-idk-idk-about-that-gif-7336250873949261946

[rough osprey]

ill get a simracing rig some day

will that hobby ever get cheap

[dull hollow]

i dont have enough room for a rig

[dull hollow]

no

[vagrant pagoda]

prob kit isnt assembled

[dull hollow]

though direct drive is getting cheaper

instead of shitty logitech gearing

[rough osprey]

gimme 20nm for 200€

[dull hollow]

next centry buddy, too early

[rough osprey]

and active pedals for a 100€

[dull hollow]

arent active pedals like

a grand

per?

[rough osprey]

they start there ye

or just put lil speakers on the pedal for the budget version

[dull hollow]

tbh i dont think ill ever need above 12-15nm

[dull hollow]

i tired a rig at microcenter and it was great

except for the fact it was 7000, without active pedals, the monitors or the pc

[rough osprey]

gotta have the "realistic" f1 feel lol

[dull hollow]

stationary rig with no buttkickers

so like its kinda no different then a desk setup

[rough osprey]

dont forget the motion rig

[dull hollow]

motion rigs start at 20

[rough osprey]

also saw some system that like pulls the seatbelt

[dull hollow]

theres probably smth cheaper now

[somber coral]

For more realism you gotta spent 20m too

[somber coral]

Yo I saw that too

It like pulls it depending on the speed and turn n shi

[dull hollow]

motion rigs after someone blows your back out in iracing:

[steady sail]

just build the same sim-rig that LTT built

[rough osprey]

gotta go vr tho

[dull hollow]

for sure

triple monitor setup for a simrig is crazy

expensive

if you want actually good decent quality

[gusty kiln]

4k tvs are getting pretty cheap

[steady sail]

just get 3 480hz 1440p monitors around you

[gusty kiln]

Lol 480hz wasted

[dull hollow]

i dont think youre getting that in any sim game

[somber coral]

Ok so both websites are legit

[dull hollow]

probably not even 1/3 of that

[somber coral]

It’s just two owners who has a falling out

[nimble arch]

For iRacing at least, triples is a better setup than an ultrawide.

[gusty kiln]

BigScreen Beyond 2 is about 1200, I rather get that than three oled monitors at like 2-3 grand

[somber coral]

One patterned with a partial owner of ncase so it directs there

[rough osprey]

just gotta wait a long time

[nimble arch]

iRacing also supports NVIDIA's simultaneous multi projection

So you actually get proper FOV on triples in iRacing

[dull hollow]

i will NOT pay a subscription for a sim racing game

[nimble arch]

iRacing is the best sim

[dull hollow]

and when each individual car and track comes with a price tag

[gusty kiln]

Wait for deckard or Beyond 2?
