It’s still dp 1.4 at the source

low barn
#

you cant magically add bandwidth

vale mulch
#

does it turn into hdmi 2.1 or hdmi 1.4 for somereason

#

it would have to be hdmi 2.1 right

turbid elm
#

It’s nearly the capacity of hdmi 2.1

vale mulch
#

no no

#

im asking

#

if you convert dp to hdmi what happens if the card has dp1.4 and hdmi 2.1

night jasper
#

it will be hdmi 2.1

vale mulch
#

ty

#

another question

low barn
#

wait wait wait

velvet falcon
#

No it won't be

turbid elm
low barn
#

it will simply be dp 1.4 disguised as a hdmi port

vale mulch
#

can i turn my 1 hdmi into multiple hdmi

turbid elm
#

Yes

fierce spindle
low barn
turbid elm
vale mulch
#

like can i with a switch or no

low barn
turbid elm
fierce spindle
night jasper
#

it does not change the bandwith (much) but redirects it from what ive heard

low barn
vale mulch
#

im seeing if i can mitigate extra hdmi ports on cards with a loophole route

#

the benefits of this are amazing if possible

low barn
fierce spindle
#

Why would u want that?

vale mulch
#

you can have more hdmi ports for less money.

low barn
#

ok how many monitors do you want bruh

vale mulch
#

and you can consider other options without feeling forced to buy options with 2 hdmi built in

night jasper
velvet falcon
#

This like only remotely matters for people with like 5 monitors lmao

vale mulch
#

the whole point of this is to eliminate the rog if possible

#

or the tuf at least

low barn
#

ure overcomplicating this

#

buy dp cables

vale mulch
#

no i am not

low barn
#

basically every monitor is dp

vale mulch
#

i am asking a question. if it cant be answered here. i will find a way

night jasper
low barn
vale mulch
#

so if a card has 1 hdmi port. is there a way of turning it into more than 1?

dp to hdmi

fierce spindle
#

Using a converter = converting to the weakest link in the chain. So why wont u just use a dp cable but turn a better hdmi cable in a worse dp cable with extra connectors? 😂

low barn
vale mulch
rose pollen
fierce spindle
#

Its not a joke

vale mulch
#

the hdmi shouldnt turn into dp 1.4

#

im asking is there a way to extend the hdmi 2.1

#

yes or no

fierce spindle
#

Yea, u can use a converter, but that wont change the signal ir wobt give u more bandwidth

night jasper
#

if you just need them for output and not for gamming a Radeon HD 7750 SFF 1GB GDDR3 has 2 hdmi ports

vale mulch
rose pollen
#

bruh I hate the people who swear by amd cards

low barn
fierce spindle
#

So you can physically plug in hdmi in do ports with a converter yes, but that wont change a dp1.4 or dp2.0 in a hdmi 2.1

low barn
night jasper
rose pollen
vale mulch
#

i literally just want a converter that turn 1x hdmi 2.1 into idk maybe 2x hdmi 2.1?

night jasper
#

both are good

rose pollen
low barn
#

you have to downgrade the hdmi version

vale mulch
#

why

fierce spindle
#

Bc bandwith

low barn
#

bandwidth

#

let me explain

#

you have a 1 line meter

fierce spindle
#

You can do it physically... But not the signal

low barn
#

you cant turn that 1 line meter into 2 1 line meters just by cutting it

#

you have a cookie

rose pollen
#

what is dream deciding on rn?

low barn
#

if you split the cookie in 2, you wont have 2 full sized cookies

fierce spindle
#

You gotto understand the shape of the port is called hdmi or dp, but the signal and internals is what defines the version

low barn
#

you will have 2 halves of a cookie

vale mulch
low barn
#

thats bandwidth

vale mulch
#

i guess they are called splitters

velvet falcon
low barn
#

it will be halved

vale mulch
turbid elm
#

You also don’t need to split it

#

Just use a dp to hdmi cable

fierce spindle
#

So physically (the ports): most things are possible. But that doesnt mean u change bandwith. In a loop with convertors ur always stuck at the weakest link

vale mulch
#

knowing now what we do about splitting the 2.1 signal

turbid elm
low barn
low barn
vale mulch
low barn
#

he disguises into clark kent but its still superman

turbid elm
low barn
fierce spindle
#

Other question: why would u do this? What do u wanna achieve? Like whats the endgoal where whats ur asking could be a solution? Theres probably another solution for what you want. But what do you want?

vale mulch
low barn
#

me n creeperboy are saying the same things but im making analogies

turbid elm
#

Dp 1.4 can do 4K@120 without dsc, which is what the hdmi bandwidth will be if you use an adapter

low barn
#

exactly

low barn
vale mulch
#

it's either disguised hdmi with 1.4 signal or a hdmi with a 2 or 2.1 basically since 2 is just a non updated 2.1

#

you can download the 2.1 and 2.1a

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

IK

fierce spindle
#

What do you want? How many hdmi 2.1 or whatever version do you need and why?

low barn
#

ok im done explaining, your turn

rose pollen
#

to me it’s all hdmi lol

#

I dont understand the differences

turbid elm
low barn
rose pollen
#

ignore me

low barn
turbid elm
#

The main signal difference between hdmi and dp is that hdmi has 3 pairs of signal wires and 1 clock cycle pair of wires while dp has 4 signal pairs

rose pollen
#

ah I see

low barn
#

simply just different connectors

rose pollen
#

yes

low barn
#

displayport simply kind of better?

rose pollen
#

Maybe

low barn
#

it really doesnt matter tbh, use whatever

vale mulch
turbid elm
#

Bottom line is, dp 1.4 has all the bandwidth you need

vale mulch
#

so dp 1.4 is worse than hdmi 2.1

#

dp 2.1 is better than hdmi 2.1

low barn
#

there isnt a monitor available that can use the entire hdmi 2.1 bandwidth

vale mulch
#

thats fine

#

one day there will be

low barn
#

idk bout that

velvet falcon
#

Even if there was

low barn
velvet falcon
#

You would need way more than a 4090 lmao

night jasper
#

this is a headache why are we focused on HDMI vs DP i run what makes me happy and it works yall be to stressed

low barn
#

im gigglin n kickin my feet n stuff

night jasper
#

then thats good

vale mulch
#

so dp 1.4 can't turn into hdmi 2.1. it turns into a hdmi but you lose the bandwidth here as well? and it behaves like a dp 1.4 with just a hdmi plug in. or kind of like a hdmi 1.4 in disguise is what you are saying?

low barn
#

hdmi is backwards compatible

#

so its just dp 1.4 with hdmi connector

#

nothing more, nothing less

vale mulch
#

so it does upgrade to the full on hdmi 2.1 then?

#

with a converter

low barn
#

you cant magically add bandwidth

velvet falcon
#

No it's just dp

#

It stays dp

low barn
low barn
vale mulch
#

so it basically can only turn into a hdmi 1.4

#

what does the dp 1.4 turn into

velvet falcon
#

It doesn't turn into anything

vale mulch
#

thats not true

low barn
#

god give me patience

vale mulch
#

the converter turns it into hdmi

#

so whats the number then

low barn
#

ther eisnt

velvet falcon
#

Thinking of it as display port going through hdmi

#

Instead of converting

vale mulch
#

so its still dp 1.4

velvet falcon
#

Yes

vale mulch
#

yeah thats what i meant

#

and thats awful

low barn
#

took long enough oh my god

vale mulch
#

that is not a solution lmao

velvet falcon
#

The thing i don't understand is solution to what

low barn
#

solution to a problem that doesnt exist

velvet falcon
#

Can you say what exactly you're trying to solve

vale mulch
#

so you can't really convert your dp to hdmi unless you dont care about bandwidth

velvet falcon
#

Yes

vale mulch
low barn
#

its cheaper to just buy dp cables

vale mulch
#

i would explain more but the people here might not get it ig

vale mulch
low barn
#

you mean between the rog and suprim x?

vale mulch
#

alright so then there is no options other than getting the rog or the tuf then

low barn
#

what?

velvet falcon
#

How many displays do you intend to have

vale mulch
#

the dp isnt a solution since it stays dp 1.4

low barn
#

it is a solution

vale mulch
#

what about the hdmi 2.1 port

low barn
#

it goes to 4k 120hz
you wont get a panel beyond that

vale mulch
#

what does the splitter turn it into

velvet falcon
#

You don't need full bandwidth for a secondary monitor

#

Frankly or your main monitor

low barn
velvet falcon
#

Tf you gonna be doing on a side monitor where it actually matters is what I don't get

low barn
#

i need to pull out my strongest playlist for this

velvet falcon
#

A splitter wouldn't be good for you here cause the same thing would just be displayed on both monitors

vale mulch
#

the splitter gets you from 1xhdmi to 2xhdmi right?

#

can a splitter go beyond 2xhdmi?

low barn
#

lets stop talking about splitters for a second

vale mulch
#

okay

low barn
#

how many monitors do you want

#

5?

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

im not answering this in fear that i wont get my answer without a bias for this answer

low barn
vale mulch
#

im trying to figure out whats possible. not what im doing

low barn
#

youre fixing an issue that doesnt exist

velvet falcon
#

Also again splitters wouldn't help here

#

Cause you'd display the same thing on both monitors

vale mulch
#

okay so now can we go back to my question

#

a splitter can turn 1 hdmi into 2 hdmi right? can it go more than that

#

like can you get a splitter for 3 hdmi or 4 or 5

turbid elm
#

It can but why would you do that

vale mulch
#

is that a yes. or a yes not really

low barn
turbid elm
#

An hdmi splitter will only duplicate displays I think

low barn
#

wait u may be right

velvet falcon
low barn
#

yeah that makes sense actually

turbid elm
#

You can’t connect 2 displays to 1 port

#

At the same time

#

As in drive 2 displays simultaneously.

#

And with that, all the splitter does is duplicate the signal. In which case, it would probably have the same bandwidth of the single input

#

Chat just died lol

low barn
#

sorry had a stroke from this conversation

turbid elm
#

Not surprised

low barn
#

spending $300 more for a rog just cause of a hdmi port is kinda uh

vale mulch
#

looks like no solution then

low barn
#

so ure gonna run 3 4k 120hz monitors?

#

TVs*

vale mulch
#

if you try the hdmi 2.1 you cant get more hdmi 2.1 it turns into something else but not hdmi 2.1

and if you try the dp 1.4 you cant get hdmi 2.1 it stays dp 1.4 but as a hdmi.

low barn
#

yes, which is what we have been explaining

vale mulch
#

a weird restatement here

#

this is where i learned that from

turbid elm
low barn
#

uhh i have a solution
use monitors instead of tvs

vale mulch
#

im bad at explaining it

#

but basically the solution to aggregating the value of these graphics cards

low barn
#

an hdmi port is not worth $300

turbid elm
#

to what?

vale mulch
#

this means that a 2x hdmi 2.1a is actually worth $300

turbid elm
#

no tv youre getting should be more than 4k@60hz

velvet falcon
#

You see i just think it's a worthless assessment of value because it doesn't actually solve a practical problem

turbid elm
turbid elm
#

what?

#

are you sure about that

vale mulch
#

because you cant turn dp 1.4 to hdmi 2.1 it stays as dp 1.4

#

you just change the physical compat

turbid elm
#

i think it works lol

fierce spindle
#

Avoid splitters and convertions if you dont need them

vale mulch
#

those are just the base stats of dp and hdmi

turbid elm
#

so?

low barn
#

they dont go super saiyan

#

i can assure you that

turbid elm
#

are you really going to have 2 gaming tv's plugged into your pc?

vale mulch
#

what you are saying isnt a solution. its a who cares because both go beyong expectations of whats possible today with monitors etc

#

no

fierce spindle
#

90% of splitters are bullocks and are the weakest link in the chain. If they even work as intended in the first place

fierce spindle
vale mulch
low barn
#

there really isnt a problem...

vale mulch
#

you will have to be satisfied with less

low barn
velvet falcon
fierce spindle
#

U can not change the version of a port by adding a piece of hardware to it.

low barn
turbid elm
vale mulch
#

there is a reason why the xtx has dp 2.1

#

and why the rog has 2 hdmi 2.1

low barn
vale mulch
#

exactly

turbid elm
#

a dp display can do 8k@60 with dsc

low barn
vale mulch
#

i already know the capabilities of each

low barn
fierce spindle
turbid elm
#

there is no solution needed here. only 1 hdmi doesnt matter literally at all

vale mulch
low barn
#

i ran out of borat movies

vale mulch
#

meaning that if you need 2 hdmi 2.1 the rog and tuf are the ONLY options.

low barn
#

sure, but you dont need those

vale mulch
#

meaning they can't be crossed off

low barn
#

they def can

vale mulch
#

and need to be considered in some other way

vale mulch
turbid elm
vale mulch
velvet falcon
low barn
#

that seems like an issue for a future you

#

(arc a380)

fierce spindle
#

You might think it wont give u an answer or solve an issue: but why do you need 2.1? And why would you need 2 of them? Dont try to solve issues that wont be issues bc they have no use case in the next 5 years

low barn
#

i have a cheaper fix than buying a rog card

vale mulch
#

i just want 2.1 since its better than hdmi 1.4 and dp 1.4 and dp 2.1 isnt an option on 4090

velvet falcon
# vale mulch idk yet lmao.

you cant actually use it as a point to access the value if you dont know if youll need it, should probably decide what monitor setup you want first

turbid elm
# vale mulch idk yet lmao.

are you going to use more than 1 tv with your pc? if the answer is no, 2 hdmi 2.1 doesnt matter. again, dp 1.4 even without dsc will far overshoot any monitor worth buying now

low barn
vale mulch
low barn
fierce spindle
low barn
vale mulch
#

if you really need 2 hdmi 2.1 ports, the tuf exists for $300 less BUT you lose out on vrms. so its a trade off

velvet falcon
vale mulch
#

yes

low barn
#

also, they usually had issues when only using the arc

velvet falcon
#

but yeah

vale mulch
#

isnt that just an intel gpu

velvet falcon
#

you can just use a second gpu

#

if you care about ports that much

low barn
low barn
vale mulch
#

its like an expensive converter

fierce spindle
#

@vale mulch Just answer this one question: what are u gonna use your hdmi 2.1 for. And what would u use ur 2 hdmi 2.1 for?
Give us a reason why for this pc hdmi would be of better use to u than dp 1.5

vale mulch
#

waiitt waitt waiitt

#

is there a card for this???

#

like not a graphics card

velvet falcon
#

no

vale mulch
#

but just a hdmi 2.1 or dp 2.1 for your pcie bus

turbid elm
#

no

vale mulch
#

damn

turbid elm
#

no, no, and no

#

but anyway IT DOESNT MATTER

low barn
#

ARC A380 CAME TO SAVE THE DAY

vale mulch
#

in any case if there was itd be for your igpu capabilities not your 4090 lol

fierce spindle
#

...

low barn
#

but i have to send the video just for disclosure

fierce spindle
vale mulch
low barn
#

lemme send the different one, the navy one is dissapointing

fierce spindle
#

Or can we agree on debating a non issue lol

low barn
vale mulch
#

idc about additional monitors cause i can just use the dp 1.4

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

that doesnt mean i dont care about an extra hdmi 2.1 tho!!??

fierce spindle
#

The one with the dp 1.5 on it?

vale mulch
#

lmao cmonnn

vale mulch
#

LOL

low barn
#

im the biggest arc hater

#

and im saying this

#

the enemy of my enemy is my friend

turbid elm
# vale mulch LOL

please dont buy a gpu purly because it has an extra hdmi 2.1 port that LITERALLY DOESNT MATTER

low barn
#

is the a310 not out yet

vale mulch
#

this is actually a good option

low barn
#

im not too fond of arc gpus

vale mulch
#

me neither

turbid elm
low barn
#

got entire videos dedicated to hating it

fierce spindle
#

Unless ur gonna spend about 8k on 2 monitors they might launch in maybe 3 years I dont see the point lol

vale mulch
#

but 3 dp 2.0. thats fucking prem

turbid elm
#

can you even rout 1 gpu through the ports on another gpu? i know you can do that with igpus

velvet falcon
#

any human who buys an 8k monitor has like too much money on their hands ngl and should give it to me :)

vale mulch
#

i mean yeah getting just a xtx and a 4090 would be the solution

low barn
velvet falcon
vale mulch
#

but if you want to save money then an arc a380 is great

#

but the xtx is only $900 more

velvet falcon
#

would those cards even fit

#

inside a case together lmao

low barn
#

is there not a lp a380

low barn
velvet falcon
#

then theirs the fucking heat

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

the idea is that you would probably unplug one of them right?

velvet falcon
#

then theres pwering

low barn
#

guilty's tuf covers both pcie slots

vale mulch
#

like thats a thing

low barn
vale mulch
#

OR i can spend $300 on a rog

#

or $0 on a tuf

velvet falcon
vale mulch
#

or $120 on a a380

turbid elm
#

or you can not give a shit about the extra hdmi

vale mulch
#

or $1000 on a xtx

velvet falcon
#

please dont actually considering the xtx 😭

vale mulch
#

suddenly the value of the asus tuf makes hundreds of dollar amounts seem like a huge bargain

#

it really does have something to offer

low barn
#

another gpu wouldnt fit in his pc

fierce spindle
#

So guys. Tell me if im right: is she making her choice of gpu completely on a connector on saud gpu for a monitor that doesnt exist yet and where said gpu wont be able to produce enough frames for to even achieve the framerate saud connector provides bandwith for? Lol

fierce spindle
#

Okay 😂

low barn
turbid elm
#

but i ask

velvet falcon
#

this entire conversation is pretty dumb frankly

turbid elm
#

WHY

vale mulch
#

there is little to distinguish between these cards

#

because at this high of a tier

#

the 4090s already have little difference

#

so the top 7 4090s on the market have even less differences

low barn
#

wait

#

would a 2nd gpu even fit with a tuf 4090

vale mulch
#

the idea is you wouldnt have both plugged in

turbid elm
#

probably not actually

low barn
vale mulch
#

but yeah some atx boards accomodate up to 4 gpu slots

#

because they have 7 pcie slots

low barn
low barn
vale mulch
#

yeah i think it does still depend on the gpu

low barn
#

thats the tuf model

vale mulch
#

cause the motherboard might say 4 gpu but if the gpu is especially fat it might cover 3 pcie slots instead of 2

remote aspen
turbid elm
#

the tuf 4090 is at least 4 slots

low barn
#

get outta here

Oh lord we're down to lists of the same GPU.. if you truly believe that there is so much of a difference that it requires making lists and crossing them off, you're so far gone I'm not sure anyone can help.

but i think im going to have to settle for the 1 hdmi port unfortunately

STRIX offers literally 0 real world benefit to a gamer over the TUF, if we want to compare two cards. Yet you've crossed it off. All logic lost.

insane

low barn
remote aspen

the strix has a much better vrm setup

but the strix is by no means the best

you will termally throttle before using the vrms

look at it yourself

it has typical 1 hdmi. it is fairly priced at $1600 a budget option. a 14+4 vrm setup being worse than the fe in every way.

nvm no its not

low barn

check it out

see how msi isnt on there

and theres more zotac than msi

see how that can mean that vrms dont matter

i thought hof is only galax / kfa2

yeah thats what i meant

vale mulch
#

kfa2 is the eu company

the zotac is 19th, with no sign of msi

vale mulch

galaxy is the us company

im saying hof cause its most likely the model people use

galax is the global company

weird how people use asus more than msi huh? even though msi is better?

turbid elm
#

imho, the zotac cards look super cool

low barn
#

yeah they look very nice

turbid elm
#

theyre not just a box

#

lol

low barn
#

am i the only one who didnt do any research on the gpu almost and just looked at benchmarks

#

"huh, faster than 3060ti for same price, lemme just buy that"

lavish lagoon
low barn
lavish lagoon
#

Also as has been proven many times before
All 4090 VRMs are quite hilariously overbuilt

vale mulch
lavish lagoon
low barn
turbid elm
#

the zotac is so much cheaper, and you can actually get it

vale mulch
# turbid elm please no

if the galax is top trending on all of these overclocking leaderboards then yeah thats obviously a PRO or a +

lavish lagoon
#

VRM matters if you're running subzero for records, and even then it's still down to binning GPUs and die sanding and all that jazz for records

lavish lagoon
#

All 4090 VRMs are built well enough for your average gamer to never know the difference

vale mulch
#

the zotac was on one of them and that tells me nothing. it doesnt mean its a better quality board than the msi suprim lmao

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

its nothing for old buyers to get hurt about. but if i have the option to go 18+4 vrm vs 26+4 vrm setup. then obviously take the more vrms.

lavish lagoon
#

And one shouldn't base their buying decisions on how good a card's VRM is, unless it's been pointed out by knowledgeable people that the VRM is a weak point and can fail, or if you're going to LN2 the damn thing

low barn
lavish lagoon
#

Also fwiw 26 phases would be 13 doubled so 🤷

vale mulch
#

thats true

#

but still

lavish lagoon
#

18+4 is naturally possible with that goofy expensive controller from that company I don't remember the name of

low barn
vale mulch
lavish lagoon
#

Renesas, the RAA227063

low barn
lavish lagoon
vale mulch
#

and i dont think an 18+4 with less doubled is better than a 26+4 with half of the phases doubled

#

oh okay

lavish lagoon
#

18+4 is undoubled

vale mulch
#

thats the tuf tho

lavish lagoon
#

It's true 18 phases because Renesas made an 18 phase (they also have a 22 phase) controller

vale mulch
#

the zotac is 14+4

night jasper
#

Fr we still talking about this

#

Wild

lavish lagoon
#

But, once again, like it actually matters (it really, really doesn't)

vale mulch
#

i dont know much about doublers. are they worse?

lavish lagoon
#

Do you probe your cards with a multimeter?

turbid elm
lavish lagoon
#

The GPU won't feel the difference if that's why you're asking

low barn
#

just be happy that youre getting the most powerful consumer gpu!

vale mulch
#

i think higher vrms in this case are better then if the doublers are only a little less good.

turbid elm
#

woopy, i think i will have a stroke

lavish lagoon
#

Why do you think higher VRM phase counts are better?

low barn
turbid elm
#

why do you ask

low barn
vale mulch
lavish lagoon
#

More VRM phase count is not indicative of that

vale mulch
#

more durable.

#

not from the boards ive seen.

turbid elm
lavish lagoon
#

How durable a card is is more a function of how heavy the heatsink being hung off of it is lol

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

so you would prioritize cooler over the vrm

low barn
# turbid elm i do not

basically i was slightly suggesting that we play smth together cause alone is more boring

lavish lagoon
vale mulch
#

alright i will look into cooler designs then

#

before warranty

#

what are the cooler options and which are the best

turbid elm
#

i need to take a break for a while, se y'all later

vale mulch
#

please rank them for me

low barn
#

bye bye

vale mulch
#

ttyl

lavish lagoon
#

VRM phase counts past 8 are already suffering massively from diminishing returns
The reason you go past 8 is for higher current capability, which is the only reason that 4090s have so many phases
Because they all need to push a lot of current

low barn
#

dream i have a suggestion

lavish lagoon
# vale mulch please rank them for me

Search pcpartpicker for 4090s, sort by cheapest, get that one
Every single RTX 4090 is so extremely overbuilt that it's hard/impossible to find one that'll exceed 80°C despite the huge power draw of the card

low barn
#

no it aint

lavish lagoon
#

And why is that?

vale mulch
#

yes it is

#

as i have previously discussed

#

route #1 will not be taken

low barn
#

just buy the tuf

vale mulch
#

no i just crossed off the tuf

#

i dont like the vrm set up

lavish lagoon
#

...

low barn
#

brick wall

vale mulch
#

i am willing to consider cooler designs over vrms tho

#

i just dont know which ones are better

low barn
#

and tuf probably has a good one

#

and the hdmi port youre dreaming about

lavish lagoon
#

Look at reviews for the 4090s, any of them, and base your considerations off of that

vale mulch
#

reviews arent a bad option but should usually be last

low barn
#

independent reviewers, not amazon

vale mulch
#

also review search takes awhile

#

so it should be saved for the top 3 or 5 cards like we have now

#

not the 30 card we had before

low barn
#

dream

#

the tuf fits your every criteria

vale mulch
#

it doesnt really

low barn
#

how

#

hdmi port

#

good vrms

vale mulch
#

i care more about the vrms than the ports

low barn
#

ok, and the vrms are good

vale mulch
#

and the suprim has better

low barn
#

and caring about them is worthless

vale mulch
#

not from what ive researched

low barn
#

im sorry to say this but the other 2 people that were in here are way more qualified

vale mulch
#

the vrms seem to be one of the biggest outstanding metric when comparing something as similar as 4090 aib cards

low barn
vale mulch
#

yeah but thats awful

low barn
#

tuf is the middle ground

vale mulch
#

thats what pc builders say because they think nothing matters and if it is a 4090 its good enough.

#

thats not me

#

tuf is a great budget option

#

its cheaper than the fe

low barn
#

there you go

vale mulch
#

it's only $1700 its cheaper than the fe.

low barn
#

which is good

vale mulch
#

amazing

low barn
#

you can buy many kebabs with the money left over

vale mulch
#

amazing enough to be put into top 7

low barn
#

top 2

vale mulch
#

LMAO

low barn
#

suprim x or tuf

vale mulch
#

definitely not

turbid elm
#

honestly get the tuf

#

everything you want, vrm, io, and cooling

#

without spending an arm, a leg, and a kidney

low barn
#

and looks sick

vale mulch
turbid elm
#

imo, the zotac is better, but you really want "better vrms" so

vale mulch
#

the zotac is awful

low barn
#

i mean didnt the zotac airo have pretty good vrms

#

lol

turbid elm
#

why

vale mulch
#

if you wanted a crazy built cooler. just go inno3d lmao

#

also awful

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

it has like 14 power phases

low barn
#

which are enough

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

"which is still a lot"

turbid elm
low barn
vale mulch
#

im not spending $100 less for 12 less power phases. thats dumb

turbid elm
#

then get the tuf

#

done

vale mulch
#

or i could get the suprim x for the same price??

#

its actually cheaper

low barn
#

then get that one

#

end of discussion

#

next component

turbid elm
#

i want to be done with gpus

#

please

vale mulch
#

if the whole point of the decision making process is to see how fast we can choose. that's not how to do research

#

im looking at coolers right now to discern another difference

turbid elm
#

isnt the suprim x liquid cooled?

low barn
#

uuhhhhhhh

turbid elm
#

or are there both

low barn
#

i think both lemme check

#

yeah both

turbid elm
#

yeah its suprim x

low barn
turbid elm
#

and suprim liquid x

low barn
#

liquid is cheaper than air huh

turbid elm
#

just get the tuf

#

the liquid is stupid

#

ugly af too imo

velvet falcon
vale mulch
#

alright so now i just need to know the difference between gpu coolers

#

ive heard of fans, and radiators

turbid elm
#

theyre all overbuilt, just like the vrms

#

just get the tuf

vale mulch
#

ive heard of aio and water cooled and liquid cooled

low barn
#

watercooled and liquid cooled are the same thing

vale mulch
#

so whats the difference between all of these

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

is water cooled and liquid cooled the same thing as AIO

vale mulch
low barn
turbid elm
vale mulch
#

ik all in one is what it stands for. but what is all in one? someone told me that AIO IS liquid cooled

turbid elm
#

it is

turbid elm
#

all in one liquid cooling

vale mulch
#

i was saying that the tuf and the rog have 2 hdmi ports

#

and that those are the only 2 cards that do

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

that didnt mean i wanted to get 2 hdmi ports or thats what was going to happen.

turbid elm
#

it sure seemed like it

#

from that message

#

i do not want to discuss 4090s anymore, just pick one already

vale mulch
#

i tried explaining that it was for aggregating the price

#

just come back later then

fierce spindle
# vale mulch this is a horrible option

Probably hasn't even touched a single GPU ever. Telling the guy that possibly built over 200 systems and maybe disassembled multiple cards that he's so wrong.
^ this is ur biggest issue. Falling over the littlest things that u think are important, bc maybe some youtuber mentioned it, while multiple actual builders tell u they are 100% non-issues.
Unless u wanna break ur card open to try to nreak records: the price and the bloatware that u need to use to change the color of thd LEDs on ur GPU are more important factors than any VRM stuff.

vale mulch
#

ill be done soon

#

i just need to look into the coolers

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

and im trying to avoid it

fierce spindle
#

Rightttt 😂

turbid elm

just like all the stuff youre using while "avoiding" youtubers

crimson elk
# turbid elm

It really doesn’t matter
All of them are so overspec they all cool well

fierce spindle

So how many pc's have u build?

vale mulch
#

youtube isnt even a bad source

low barn
vale mulch

but liek

crimson elk
#

What’s so confusing than

turbid elm
vale mulch
#

im not going to buy the cheapest 4090. that's horrible advice

low barn
#

when r u gonna start looking at buildzoids teardown videos 😭

crimson elk

You do realize YouTubers get products faster than consumers right?

crimson elk

its good advice for like a child who just wants to play games on the pc

its literally not

whos gonna tell him

crimson elk

that’s 2 very different things

low barn
limpid venture
#

Well its a liquid

vale mulch
turbid elm
turbid elm
#

dont

low barn
#

this is how a ln2 setup looks like

crimson elk
vale mulch
#

okay but what is exotic cooling

turbid elm
limpid venture
#

The ONLY time the 4090 power phases matter is when you are overclocking to be the best in the world

low barn
crimson elk
turbid elm
#

spending loads to get 3% performance

limpid venture
#

That would be a super dumbed down explanation for you

low barn
crimson elk
#

which you will never need in an average build

turbid elm
crimson elk
#

liquid is fine

crimson elk
vale mulch
#

yeah but why is it called exotic cooling instead of liquid cooling?

turbid elm
#

its only purpose is for leaderboards

limpid venture
crimson elk
#

Except for like the 1% of people who do it

limpid venture
#

There’s ambient liquid cooling, then sub-zero liquid cooling

vale mulch
crimson elk
#

Bruh what’s even the goal here

You want a pc build?

fucking hell. i cant even....

low barn
vale mulch
crimson elk
low barn
fierce spindle
limpid venture
crimson elk
#

hey hey let the man answer

low barn
#

sure

vale mulch
#

so it is liquid cooling then. but there is just a higher degree of liquid cooling. and its not actually called exotic cooling. you are just calling it that because its for world records?

crimson elk
#

oh my god

#

Answer the question first

crimson elk
#

Nobody cares about the liquid cooling

#

bruh what resolution do you plan to use

vale mulch
limpid venture
#

Both

vale mulch
#

yeah ik liquid cooling too but it IS called exotic cooling

low barn
#

exotic cooling is like a sub genre

limpid venture
#

Yes

vale mulch
#

i just cant tell because i cant tell which ones are the jokes or not

crimson elk

None of us are joking

we went back to gpus to finally choose an aib

crimson elk

Dream basically for a 4090 - buy whatever is cheapest new from reputable retailer - the differences you’re looking at/care about, really do not matter at all unless you had a cooling setup worth $10,000+

They’re all not going to be audible to you

It really does….

it matters

limpid venture

but ok.

are u gonna be playing in 4k

crimson elk
limpid venture
#

With a 4090 anything 4k or lower is super high fps

crimson elk
#

that’s my issue

vale mulch
#

its cause you are popping in after things have already been decided lmao

fierce spindle
#

4090 is already decided, so resolution doesng rly matter at this point

crimson elk

hence why I’m asking….

which was all about 4090s

at that point its just whatever looks cooler

How many experienced builders opinions do you need before u'll believe it really doesnt matter?

the moon looking wild today

find the best looking one to you or that fits your theme, and buy that

They are all overbuild on the 4090s.. they all massive and for performance more than fine

so is aio air and liquid cooled? or just liquid?

AIO uses a radiator, pump and tubing. Its filled with liquid. The radiator u cool with fans, so thats indirect air cooled
