i mean, its a huge amount of blue light i end up taking in. lol its the reason im still awake now at almost 4am.

they are great! i had a cheap monster lighting one and even tho it didn’t cooperate sometimes it was still good to have

if you want a full lavender set up you would definitely need to deshroud and paint your gpu

taking apart a gpu isnt too hard its just that every single screw is so tiny

overpaying on a gpu 🤢

#

just get the cheapest black or cheapest white

#

theres a couple gpus where the cheapest white is stupid

#

and its significantly cheaper to paint

#

thankfully for the new amd gpus its alright. steel legend takes the market for best looking white RX imo.

#

however there are sapphire pure white

limpid bobcat Jul 12, 2024, 2:47 AM

using the right paint is important too

lusty hinge Jul 12, 2024, 2:47 AM

yes

limpid bobcat Jul 12, 2024, 2:48 AM

a gloss white gpu would be insane

lusty hinge Jul 12, 2024, 2:48 AM

the aero 4090 kinda looks like that ig

closest model to that look

youd be looking at a custom shroud for that though which just isnt even worth bothering

#

lusty hinge no heat, no noise? ha. thats funny. *try running cinebench + furmark*

I mean, it's a 4060 + 7600 combo with 3 intake fans, 3 exhaust fans and 2 fans on the CPU cooler, all Arctic P12 PWM PST (except for the rear one, it's a CoolerMaster that came with the case)
The components definitely aren't going to overheat and the cooling is overkill enough lol...

And well, it wouldn't be that smart to test it right now because it's like 30+c indoors here, 40+c outside

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:20 AM

I keep my windows open in winter - I have heating throughout the entire house and can't just disable it in my room lol

#

unironically, when I fire up anything GPU-heavy, my room reaches around 30c ambient temps at minimum

even in winter

when it's like -1c outside

#

very toasty

#

everything in there is OC anyway so it was gonna be hot

#

13900KS too

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:24 AM

#

my 5900X with PBO gets hot even with a 360mm AIO

#

just because of my ambient temps

#

it's like 20c difference between summer and winter

#

in winter, I'm idling at ~30-40c on both the GPU and CPU
summer? yeah, 50-60c idle

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:25 AM

#

ha

#

idle doesnt matter though much

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:25 AM

#

true

daring plover Jul 13, 2024, 11:25 AM

#

i get 92C peak with my 13600k and a 360mm aio... contact frame too. intel is too hot for no reason. you always need a delid

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:25 AM

#

unless youve got 90°C idle its just mostly a reflection of how warm your room is

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:25 AM

#

I peak at around 75-80c on the CPU and 80-85 on the GPU (~95c hotspot) in summer conditions

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:25 AM

#

daring plover i get 92C peak with my 13600k and a 360mm aio... contact frame too. intel is too...

92°C is fine

and well...

this is how I power my 6950XT

#

two 8-pins

#

it's not 4 cables

#

it's 2

#

it's just that I don't use the extension thingy

#

heard it makes these things unstable

#

but yeah, my PC's aesthetics are ass rn

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:27 AM

#

yikes

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:28 AM

#

cyan vault it's just that I don't use the extension thingy

pigtail?

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:28 AM

#

yes

#

forgot the name

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:28 AM

#

i wouldnt even think about it on a 6950xt

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:28 AM

#

the amount of issues I've had on this build
it's insane

#

it started off with horrendous GPU drivers
then unstable clocks
then CPU auto-OC issues (turns out, Adrenaline decided to enable it's own overclocking bs)
then recently, it started BSOD-ing with WHEA reporting memory errors (memtest after 3 passes said everything's fine)

#

I don't know what the fuck is going on at this point

#

I'm genuinely thinking about selling it

#

but then again, it's tough to sell it when used these builds go for like 1200-1300eur

#

and I built it for 1500 just under a year ago

#

keep in mind, 1500 because I literally got the AIO and NVMe for free. That's like 250eur value already.

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:30 AM

#

thats not bad resale

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:31 AM

#

it's still a 200+eur loss

#

and, without a job, I doubt I can just build a better one.

#

so I'm kinda stuck with what I have rn

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:32 AM

#

its not as if youd ever resell it for 1500

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:32 AM

#

as I said, I can't resell it for 1500

#

they go for around 1200-1300

#

(used)

#

there's a very similar build to mine going around for 1250eur, except that they have no AIO, a 3090 instead of the 6950XT and a 512gb SSD instead of a 1TB NVMe. @lusty hinge

#

if I'm able to sell mine at all, it would be for around 1200-1300eur at most

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

yeah but thats fine considering its older

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

and that's a 200-300eur loss without even counting in the AIO and NVMe I got for free, which are 200+eur in value already.

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

if i was to sell my old build now id technically be tanking 1.4k loss

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

damn

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:35 AM

#

resell sucks but i mean youll never be able to sell old/pre owned hardware for similar to what you bought it for

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:35 AM

#

I never expected to sell it for what I bought it for

#

but I didn't expect a 400eur+ loss either, after less than a year, lol

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:36 AM

#

yesh its cooked

#

you might be able to sell bits individually

#

🤷‍♂️

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:36 AM

#

when Ryzen 9000 and RTX 5000 release, I'll be cooked fr

#

my PC will be worth next to nothing lol

#

but I hope it'll serve me well for at least a year more

#

because I'll be upgrading next year most likely

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:37 AM

#

meh youll be able to sell it for a decent price when they release

#

maybe like 1.1k 1k 🤷‍♂️

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:37 AM

#

that's not too bad either tbh

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:37 AM

#

nope

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:38 AM

#

if it stays around the 1200 mark, I'll be completely happy with it

#

if it drops below 1k, it'll be unfortunate

#

but yeah, I'm thinking whether it's worth spending like 2.5k on a build next time lmfao @lusty hinge

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:39 AM

#

couldnt tell ya about 50 series + 9000 cuz they arent out but i spent 2.5k on mine lol

#

another £90 for an A310

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:39 AM

#

well, I expect them to be around the same price as previous gens upon release.
I'll probably aim for a ryzen 7/9 and an 80 series GPU

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:40 AM

#

meh it depends on how they actually perform

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:40 AM

#

true

#

might be better off getting RTX 4000 series or Ryzen 7000 series when the prices drop. You never know.

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:40 AM

#

i mean if we go by strictly ryzen 7/9 indicator then the current gen sucks lol

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:40 AM

#

true

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:40 AM

#

the ryzen 9 performs worse than the 7800x3d in gaming

#

you have to disable an entire llc

#

plus tweak 3d cache

#

even then it trades blows

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:41 AM

#

which is to be expected, tbh
they kind of messed up their focuses if you ask me

#

Ryzen 9 w 3D cache shouldn't exist if you ask me.
9 should be reserved for workstations and it's priority would be rendering performance and such
meanwhile, 7 and 5 should be "kings of gaming" with 3D cache

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:42 AM

#

yeah theyre pretty mid cpus

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:42 AM

#

the 7900X3D is a joke
it's worse than a 7800X3D for gaming
it's worse than a 7900 for work
it's more expensive than both

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:42 AM

#

7600/7500f and 7800x3d are the only relevant 7000 gen for most people

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:42 AM

#

7950X3D on the other hand was a good idea
but a very bad execution

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:43 AM

#

cyan vault the 7900X3D is a joke it's worse than a 7800X3D for gaming it's worse than a 790...

lmfao 7900x3d 😂

#

literally stupid cpu

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:43 AM

#

it's literally the stupidest thing ever, lol

#

it's a clueless CPU

#

why does it exist? no idea

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

lusty hinge 7600/7500f and 7800x3d are the only relevant 7000 gen for most people

7950X is relevant too, because some people (such as me) need more horsepower for work

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

yeah ha theyre alright

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

I don't care too much about gaming

#

like, I play siege

#

although, at 3440x1440 Ultrawide

#

but I play it at the lowest/competitive settings

#

with only shadows turned up to the max

#

almost anything can run siege like that

#

a 4070/7800XT would be capable of that easily too

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

lmfao yeah easily

#

although its siege why would you do that to yourself

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

got the game 5 years ago, it's addicting

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

fair enough

#

i sank a crap ton of hours into it ages ago and then realised the game sucks

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

it's pretty bad, because it's less realistic than it used to be, but I still like the core mechanics

#

it really takes skill to play it, it's one of the harder games to get used to and get good at. @lusty hinge

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

yeah

#

but then it cancels out because its siege lol

#

but its alright

#

i reinstalled it the other day played it for like 3 hours uninstalled it

#

if it was launched using steam itd be alright

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:50 AM

#

oh God, yeah, Ubi's launcher is really bad

#

you launch siege through ubi's launcher that's launched through steam/epic

#

so I just installed Ubi's launcher and it's been alright ever since

#

I bought it on epic, so it's directly licensed on ubi.

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:53 AM

lusty hinge if it was launched using steam itd be alright

oh yeah, you have a 4080 super?
how is it?

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:54 AM

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:54 AM

#

yep

#

that's my plan, lol

they'll release late 2024 (end of 2024 probably) and I'll upgrade mid 2025

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:55 AM

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:55 AM

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:55 AM

#

if you get a 4080 super avoid the zotac cards

#

but getting the cheapest one works

#

like cheapest model

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:55 AM

#

oh, why's that? I actually like Zotac AMP's weird design

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:55 AM

#

well

#

theyre functional

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:56 AM

#

pretty sure Zotac's are the cheapest here lol...

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:56 AM

#

but you can accidently brick them if you try tinkering too much with its rgb and stuff

#

so if you dont care about rgb its fine

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:56 AM

#

Gigabyte moment

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:56 AM

only its firestorm software

they use a proprietary connection for rgb and they store it to flash memory

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:56 AM

Gigabyte's RGB Fusion unironically bricked my BIOS on the B450 Aorus M I had

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:57 AM

so if you somehow got it to be customisable on something like signalrgb youd just brick your card lol

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:57 AM

#

so I know the struggle

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:57 AM

#

cyan vault Gigabyte's RGB Fusion unironically bricked my BIOS on the B450 Aorus M I had

dont install manufacturer software ;)

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:57 AM

#

but yeah, idc about RGB, I'll probably do an ITX build in a CH160 and put it away lol

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:57 AM

#

yeah thats fine then

#

the cooling on them is better than gigabytes and stuff iirc

#

id have to check that

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 11:58 AM

#

whatever's the cheapest, I'll get it probably

#

this case should be fine

#

it's all-mesh

#

except for the side panel

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 11:58 AM

fair enough

if i wasnt in the car id check

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 12:03 PM

I used to go in-depth with DDR4, DDR5 is just too hard for my brain to process

with it's weird configurations

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 12:03 PM

#

lmfao fair enough

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 12:03 PM

like, wtf is 96GB lmfao

#

48+48, sure

#

but still weird

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 12:03 PM

j think you mean awesome

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 12:03 PM

idk, might be good, but it's a weird number

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 12:03 PM

#

ddr5 sucks until they release a ddr5 trident z royal kit

#

then it instantly becomes awesome

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 12:04 PM

#

but yeah, 96 should be perfect for Adobe's bs. AfterEffects eats up my 32gb like it's nothing

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 12:04 PM

#

yeah 96gb is plenty

cyan vault Jul 13, 2024, 12:04 PM

#

64 would probably be fine too

#

but if I'm spending money, I'm spending it properly

#

also, no clue why I chose the 4TB SN850x

#

might be better off with 2 separate drives, just in case one dies...

lusty hinge Jul 13, 2024, 12:06 PM

#

its Hynix M die

#

so its alright

#

i think the 6400mhz one is samsung

hello lennart in the #💻-building-a-pc channel 😎

I kinda need a CPU upgrade

don't even bother with AMD GPUs atm tbh

although, 7000 series should be fine

ha

thats funny

amd gpus absolutely neg in terms of price / performance

im considering a 7800xt anyway because theyre not too far in price

however... i dont think it matters much for what itll be used for

its only gonna be for my brother lol

i have a 4080 super rarityBow

i had a few 6000 series gpus

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:36 AM

@lusty hinge btw, I'm getting WHEA errors and AuthenticAMD.sys (CPU driver) BSODs. WHEA says it's RAM, but 3 passes of memtest said that RAM is fine

#

it's pissing me off

#

it could be the CPU

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:37 AM

#

what cpu was it you had

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:37 AM

#

or, very rarely, it could be the GPU causing it

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:37 AM

lusty hinge what cpu was it you had

5900x

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:37 AM

oh yeah

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:38 AM

nothing's overheating, so heat isn't the problem

thats weird

yeah i dont think ive ever seen that one

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:39 AM

also, it's not Windows 10, it's Windows 11, it doesn't know what it is...

entirely new drive and windows install btw...

:)

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:40 AM

yeah i do recall you mentioning

#

thats very weird

#

i dont have a clue about that

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:40 AM

#

I'll test out my friend's RAM and see if it occurs, but it rarely occurs as is

#

so it's really random

#

I'll try Prime95 because from what I've seen, one of the tests does a really good job at determining what the cause of this issue is

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:41 AM

#

you could also try 1 stick

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:41 AM

#

oh yeah, I also install my Windows without Secure Boot and TPM requirements. I'm using a custom unattended install (that I generate via rufus)...

#

it's been fine on all machines except for this one

#

and tbh, I doubt it's that

#

but I'll see

#

I just enabled Secure Boot in BIOS

#

it might be related

#

you never know

#

but then again, I'm pretty sure I also had it enabled on the old installation and it still crashed

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

yeah very jank

#

try that bios setting

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

lusty hinge yeah very jank

if Secure Boot doesn't help, I'll try disabling XMP

#

and then I'll try new RAM

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

cyan vault if Secure Boot doesn't help, I'll try disabling XMP

yeah thats pretty easy to try so no harm there

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

lusty hinge yeah thats pretty easy to try so no harm there

it only started happening recently. Like, a few weeks ago

so it's REALLY weird

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:46 AM

oh yeah very

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

it's been fine until then

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

cyan vault if Secure Boot doesn't help, I'll try disabling XMP

try 1 stick at a time if this doesnt work

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

lusty hinge try 1 stick at a time if this doesnt work

mhmm

#

Secure Boot
XMP
Single stick
New RAM

#

that's the order

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

😎

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

if none of that works, I might try a different CPU

#

but that's gonna be a pain in the ass

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

yeah that one is much more difficult

#

if it means anything im also going through some pain lol.

realised yesterday i completely forgot one of the standoffs for my motherboard

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:48 AM

lusty hinge yeah that one is much more difficult

main problem is - all of my friends are on Ryzen 2000 and their cooling DEFINITELY isn't sufficient for a 5900x lol

You sure Wraith Stealth can do the job, lol?

#

one friend has an AK400 though

#

pretty sure that'd be fine

god

I remember seeing Micro center doing a sale - $350 for a 5800X3D, a B550 mobo and 32GB of RAM @ 3200mhz @lusty hinge

#

like, US pricing is nuts

lusty hinge Jul 14, 2024, 11:57 AM

#

that seems alright for when it was

the 7800x3d one rn is alright

#

7700x is basically worthless

cyan vault Jul 14, 2024, 11:58 AM

#

lusty hinge that seems alright for when it was

but $350 for a CPU, Mobo and RAM? it's insane

#

you could build a ~$1k machine with a 4070 super and 5800x3d

and it'd beat my 6950XT + 5900x combo that cost me 1500eur lol

I have the actual app closed, with just the service running for taking care of pump/fan curves, which helps with temps and stuff, but it still sucks

Using Hardware mode, because the 6 fans and the pump are plugged into a Commander Core pro, you have to have the same effect on all of it.

@lusty hinge Remember those WHEA Memory errors I mentioned yesterday?
Here's more details.

Siege crashes with this specifically: 0x124 AuthenticAMD.sys
After the crash, Event Viewer shows me WHEA Logger entries mentioning Memory (it used to be Processor Core before I sorted out the GPU drivers)

Yeah, I have no clue what's causing them at this point. It only happened in Siege so far and I can't replicate the issue consistently - it happens randomly.

So far:

Happened before and after a windows reinstall
Happened before and after new GPU drivers
Happened before and after updating the BIOS
And I tested the following:
memtest86, 3 passes - 0 errors
OCCT CPU+RAM test, Normal, AVX2, Load set to Variable - 0 errors
SAM disabled/enabled (crashed with both)

One thing I remembered, though, is the fact that in Optimum Tech's video about PBO2 Curve Optimizer for the 5900x - he managed to push it to negative 30 on all cores. Meanwhile, my PC couldn't do negative 25 all core so I didn't even try further (that was a few months ago).

Wallpaper engine is fine, uses minimal unless you have some dumb wallpaper with loads of code running on it, but even then it's fine, and then you can have it turn off when the wallpaper isn't visible so it doesn't effect other apps/games

manufacturer software nyansick

chrome wren Jul 17, 2024, 5:14 PM

Wait, isn't Razer Cortex a "Game booster"

#

Automatically bad, no matter who makes it

#

lusty hinge software rubbish

I barely touch it and it's been fine for me

chrome wren Jul 17, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

Razer Cortex is "Game Booster" software, so it's automatically bad

#

No "Game Booster" should ever be installed

#

I might make an app that does all the changes for performance, that doesn't need to be open, just a run 1 time kind of thing

#

Change settings and registry stuff for best performance

#

Would anyone be interested?

chrome wren Jul 17, 2024, 6:13 PM

#

Didn't take too long

#

Still got more to add though ofcourse

#

That's because optimisers use an app, that's constantly running, wasting resources and because of that, gives you less performance, this is a 1 time run script which doesn't use any resources.

lusty hinge Jul 17, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

youd never catch me using an optimiser

#

it could be worse though

#

custom gaming ISOs exists

some of them go as far as disabling windows updates and disabling windows protector and firewall

No idea, I don't know any of the brands nor have I ever been at home depot. However as long as it says something like ph2 or the metrics that ph2 uses (should be able to just google those), it should work.

lusty hinge Jul 19, 2024, 9:54 PM

yes

ph1 and ph2 are what you need

any screwdriver kit works

magnetic tips is ideal which is what you have there

no, you need to activate windows after building a pc

you just put the disk into the usb port and follow the steps

it is very simple

wintry tide Jul 25, 2024, 8:46 PM

errant ermine Hey I got a question,should I go AM4 or AM5

That's a two part question: Budget and goal in my opinion.

Am4 is amazing on right setup. If you don't aim for a super high end build, but one to have some fun and do other things. But, if you can invest more, I'll go to AM5 because of DDR5 memories. Quite faster and make room for more innovations on overall setup.

chrome wren Jul 25, 2024, 9:56 PM

#

Going for AM5 will also give you upgrade options in the future

icy token Jul 25, 2024, 11:08 PM

#

errant ermine Hey I got a question,should I go AM4 or AM5

Depends. Imo getting a AM4 mobo and CPU is way cheaper right now, and you might be able to upgrade to a higher end AM4 CPU on sale, or used, for way cheap later on.

#

I would only go with AM5 IF you want bleeding edge performance, or you are planning to upgrade in the foreseeable future.

#

For 99% of uses, a mid range AM4 cpu is more than enough.

AM4 is cheaper, and for most use cases, is more than enough. Not everyone plan to upgrade their PCs every few years.

#

And you can upgrade within the AM4 chipset still

icy token Jul 25, 2024, 11:43 PM

lusty hinge Jul 25, 2024, 11:43 PM

#

AM4 should not be considered whatsoever unless you are in countries like egypt, france, italy etc on a low budget

icy token Jul 25, 2024, 11:44 PM

#

yeah, u r right buddy mb

lusty hinge Jul 25, 2024, 11:44 PM

#

if youre on a low budget in other countries, a 12400f is usually a much better buy.

#

if your budget is anything higher than about $850 in the US or £800-900 in the UK, you should be buying AM5 or LGA 1700

#

AM4 has a decent line up, im not denying it. however like LGA 1700 it is dead end. unless intel 15th gen gets a 1700 release, which it may, its a road block

#

a dead end platform isn't necessarily bad

#

but if you're buying new and have a budget that isnt very restricting, you should usually be aiming for AM5 (gaming) or LGA 1700 (workstation)

#

gaming and workstation arent necessarily set it stone. but it is typically how it goes.

#

if you're already on AM4 for example, lets say you have a 3600X, you're still pretty restricted. buying a 5600 is not really worth it as the performance uplift is minimal.

#

the only CPUs worthwhile on AM4 if you're already on it are the 5600 and the 5700X3D. the rest are kinda meh.

#

if you consider the 5800X3D you're doing it wrong, and instead should look at a 7600(X)

the 7900XTX does have 24GB VRAM and it is fully usable. however you very likely will not use it.

if you're buying a GPU specifically for VRAM (machine learning for example) you will want NVIDIA.
if you're buying a GPU for 4K, you'll much prefer NVIDIA (currently)

the 7900XTX is usable at 4K, however with current GPUs, DLSS 3.7 is much better at 4K than FSR 3.1
