Owner is the dude who decides to hire me or not

[raven wharf]

yeah thatll be good for you if you get in i bet

[keen nacelle]

@odd siren

[raven wharf]

show them your techie roles as your resume experience

they will hire you on spot trust

[keen nacelle]

Lol

[keen flax]

I think this haha #building-and-recc-chat message

[keen nacelle]

Ah if felix said it i believe it lmao

[keen flax]

This x2

[keen flax]

Yeah haha

Let's see that happens tomorrow 🥲

[keen nacelle]

Felix says i know parts a bit better than him but he has a lot more general pc knowledge and experience than i do

[raven wharf]

ignore the fact i was apart of that conversation i def remember

[keen nacelle]

Lmao

[raven wharf]

trust

[keen flax]

lol

[odd siren]

It's thin, so loud is likely

But it won't be useless

[keen nacelle]

Oh like msi slim

[odd siren]

Ye

It's better than a taichi

In my eyes

No 12v high melting cable

[keen flax]

i had some decent knowledge of like 6 years ago haha

so much has changed

[keen nacelle]

My dad built a pc forever ago and told me he'd help me rebuild my pre built back in 2022

We opened it up and he had absolutely no clue what a single cable was lol

Pcs move fast as hell

Part of why i love them sm

[keen flax]

So Sapphire > xfx > asrock > asus > the rest?

[keen flax]

yep

[keen nacelle]

Power color fighter is normally solid

[odd siren]

Tbh yes but I'd put gigabyte higher than asus rn

[keen nacelle]

Hellhound is normally one of the higher end models too

[odd siren]

Oh yeah powercolor

[keen flax]

I've just been happy with my current pc so I haven't been looking at new stuff until now haha

[odd siren]

Powercolor above asrock

[keen nacelle]

Theyre very forgettable lol

[keen flax]

oh really?

[odd siren]

Most coil whine brand 2024

[keen nacelle]

Lmao

[odd siren]

Gigabyte hasn't been as bad as asus of late

[peak swift]

Where does Yeston rank? I must know what tier the waifu cards are

[keen flax]

So Sapphire > xfx > powercolor > asrock > gigabyte > asus > the rest?

[odd siren]

Uwu tier (above gigabyte)

[keen flax]

like that? lol

[keen flax]

Damn I stayed back when EVGA (RIP) was king haha

I wish they made AMD gpus 🥲

[keen nacelle]

Evga bouta go out of business

[peak swift]

Sapphire has been the EVGA of AMD before EVGA was the EVGA of Nvidia

[keen nacelle]

They've put out a whole two new products since dropping nvidias partnership (that i know of)

ClcX, and lcd display aio, and a new psu

[keen flax]

damn lol

[keen flax]

sad

[cerulean rover]

evga bouta make a g8 and rule over the PSU space, just watch

[keen nacelle]

If only they don't price it $20-50 over the rest of the psu market

[keen flax]

I just want my monhun to not look like this

[cerulean rover]

they've generally been good with PSU pricing post g2 era

[keen nacelle]

Have they? I guess I've never seen their psus be consistently in stock really

[keen flax]

AND be playable haha

[keen nacelle]

Not the decent ones anyways

[cerulean rover]

no new ones in what, 3 years now lol

g7 was 2022

[keen nacelle]

They have the superzillion or whatever it is

[cerulean rover]

g6 was great but short lived too

[peak swift]

It's hard to recommend EVGA PSUs when they might go under

[keen nacelle]

G7 was slightly less great and also short lived

[cerulean rover]

g7 is less great and little longer lived

[keen nacelle]

Wait

Why did I think this was evga lmao

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BqYRsY/super-flower-zillion-fg-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-sf-850z12fg

[cerulean rover]

lmao

prob because g2 era evga was all superflower leadex?

[peak swift]

Superflower was the OEM for EVGA psu

[odd siren]

I always love this name

[cerulean rover]

g7 is fsp, g6 was seasonic, g5 was fsp, g3 and before were superflower

[odd siren]

"We don't care about numbers"

"We stopped counting"

"It's a bazillion now"

[keen nacelle]

I always thought g6 was super flower too, didn't know it was seasonic

[cerulean rover]

I was waiting for a leadex viii too smh

[cerulean rover]

I mean that's part of why it was short lived iirc

[keen nacelle]

Seasonics atx 3.0 and 3.1 psus haven't been in stock anywhere too

Oh I'm a liar, just overpriced

$130 at 750w and $150 at 850w

[cerulean rover]

it just feels like seasonic just faded out of relevancy in the past like 2 years

[keen nacelle]

Ever since tier lists became common

[cerulean rover]

I mean even then seasonic focus was a go to for many people

[keen nacelle]

People know it isn't just brand name you can look for

[cerulean rover]

I feel like it's the 30xx power spikes that made it fall out of favor

people figured out seasonic units are really sensitive and trip really easily

[keen nacelle]

My brain is writing half sentences without having the other half

Its bed time

[cerulean rover]

good night bacca

[keen nacelle]

Gn

[peak swift]

This is promising

[raven wharf]

oh wow

[odd siren]

HOLY

[raven wharf]

when/where is that

[peak swift]

440 is definitely more 50 series cards than that microcenter has seen total lmao

[raven wharf]

if thats one microcenter

imagine if they all have above like 350

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

we may be back

[peak swift]

Westmont store in Illinois apparently

[raven wharf]

i could go to my microcenter tomorrow

like 40 mins away

but i shouldnt cause i know ill buy something i dont need but want lol

they actually exist

its beautiful

[odd siren]

Oh boy I can take my sweet honkin time

How many hours until release

[peak swift]

Just over 7 hours I think

[keen nacelle]

lezzgggoooooo

[raven wharf]

if its 9AM EST, 7

[odd siren]

Sweet

[raven wharf]

bacca

what happened to bed time

[odd siren]

Baka

[keen nacelle]

sleep eludes me

[raven wharf]

guh

[keen nacelle]

its instead time to tilt queue valorant

[raven wharf]

listings are live

[keen nacelle]

$600 9070xt WOOOO

to think we had $700 3080 4 years ago, this is the first card that's both better than it performance wise and a better value proposition

[odd siren]

IT'S BEEN YEARS

😭

[peak swift]

A card that's better and cheaper? Nvidia could never

[raven wharf]

radeon's ryzen moment may be upon us

[odd siren]

They be ryzen me up rn

Uh I mean

Bro really went for the triple gif

[raven wharf]

shh look global stock

[odd siren]

Nvidia could never

Some eu countries got NOTHING dude

[odd siren]

Yo this is gonna be big

[raven wharf]

im assuming thats just sapphire

[odd siren]

Yes

Pulse is a beloved card

Ima get one fr

[random walrus]

1000 units of just one model 👀

[peak swift]

Happy for all y'all that still need a card

[random walrus]

I'd be scared to stack em that high tbh

[odd siren]

Why be scared

It's not like it's one of eight 5090s

[random walrus]

I do think it's interesting that all 3 of those "look here's our stock" posts are the same card

I wonder if sapphire asked them to do it or smthn

[odd siren]

YO 7 HOURS

[keen nacelle]

i wonder if they decided to stock up on cards so much because of tarrifs

[raven wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-but-i-want-it-now-gif-26307521

[keen nacelle]

tarrifs won't affect pricing if the cards are made before the tarrifs lol

[raven wharf]

im not buying it but im excited for others that are

[keen nacelle]

same

[raven wharf]

also just for like

a decent launch for once

[keen nacelle]

it might be my upgrade later this year or next year

idk

[raven wharf]

go full team red

[keen nacelle]

2080 ti does what i need it to but i have an itch to rebuild

[raven wharf]

join us

[keen nacelle]

im getting off my 13600k when I can

[raven wharf]

bacca 9800x3d 9070xt incoming

[keen nacelle]

prob a used 7800x3d

or a 7500f

i just want off lga1700 and be done with these issues

[odd siren]

Possible

I'm just hoping it's not like 1500 aud

I won't buy if it's like that

Forget it

It's 1069 aud after tax and conversion for msrp

But it was 4000 for a 5090 at msrp and that turned to 5800

So you know

Not hopeful

Lmao

I don't need these cards at the end of the day tho but I would like to get a pulse if possible

If I end up paying 1500 I'll be barely undercutting the XTX I got a while back which is gross imo

[peak swift]

Aren't these more or less the same performance as the XTX?

[keen nacelle]

Felix

Another great thing (hopefully)

Used prices for high end 30/6000 series cards should plummet

[raven wharf]

yk you want it felix....

[odd siren]

I'm not buying cos I need it

[raven wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/bart-simpson-hypnotize-hypnotized-gif-24774743

[odd siren]

Lol

[odd siren]

Not if it's 1500

Will actively avoid

1100 I'd tolerate

At that rate the retailer makes a little margin and I nab msrp

[raven wharf]

i am on microcenter subreddit

recent posts are people starting to line up

sounds like mine has like 3-4 outside

[peak swift]

If they have some 5090s that makes sense

[raven wharf]

next amd gpu launch i am going to microcenter and camping mark my words

[peak swift]

Although I can't imagine buying a $2500+ card at this point

[raven wharf]

has anyone ever camped for tech before

ive seen tons of stuff from the consoles like back in 2000s

seemed like such a cool time

ps2 ik was a huge launch

[peak swift]

I camped out for a wii lol

[raven wharf]

idk how accurate this is but i found this

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18eQRucHX41A-O4OsoV96Qw2gFw1Qs2N7f6qQQs3kXx4/edit?usp=sharing

if thats true theres only 2 msrp models

[odd siren]

Which 2

[peak swift]

Should be at least 3, the XFX Swift doesn't have a price there but we know that's a msrp model

[odd siren]

Thought so

[raven wharf]

i think from the 3 main radeon aibs:

Powercolor Reaper
Sapphire Pulse
XFX Swift

[odd siren]

Reaper, prime, pulse, swift, phantom gaming(???), windforce

[peak swift]

I thought the Asrock Steel Legend was also an msrp card

[odd siren]

Should be the msrp models

[raven wharf]

THAT TOO

caps

[odd siren]

It could be steel legend and challenger

[raven wharf]

i forgot asrock exists

[odd siren]

Instead of pg

[raven wharf]

whoops

[peak swift]

Maybe the spreadsheet has the price of a special color or something

[odd siren]

The spreadsheet is just a dummy guide

It's not fact

[peak swift]

The UK price on the steel legend is msrp at least

[odd siren]

Add gaming oc to that

I just saw it at msrp

So yeah reaper then an asrock model for sure

[peak swift]

Most AIBs usually have an msrp card

[odd siren]

Prime too

Prime will be msrp

Or rather

If prime isn't msrp it's the most likely

[peak swift]

For now. I saw what they did with Nvidia Primes

[raven wharf]

i can see prime be slight higher

[odd siren]

Nvidia aibs are all doing that

Msi has been caught twice

[peak swift]

Asus was planning that from the beginning though

The Prime had "Special Launch Pricing" that would go away after the launch window

iirc the 5080 prime was originally supposed to go up to $1200

Of course it's past that now, but still

[odd siren]

They all suck beyond msrp

Even 9070 xt

Really hard to justify that at 700

600 is barely enough to put it in the good court

[peak swift]

Pretty much. My goal in getting a 50 series card was msrp or bust

[raven wharf]

is that still your goal

[peak swift]

I got a card

[raven wharf]

oh

[peak swift]

I've got a 5070TI

[raven wharf]

does the 9070 XT make you regret that purchase even at msrp

[peak swift]

It's crossed my mind, but I think I'm OK with it

[raven wharf]

if you got it at msrp its really not a bad deal

[peak swift]

It's technically a better card (8% RT avg, 3% overall avg)

But only barely

DLSS4 is better. MFG in cyberpunk works really well for me

Is that worth $150?

Maybe not

[raven wharf]

im curious to see in q4 this year if stock fixes itself a bit if prices come down at all

[peak swift]

But it's close

[odd siren]

Way I see it is if the card didn't melt and you got msrp you did well

That chance won't come again

[raven wharf]

do you have all your rops

[peak swift]

MFG is really dependent on using a controller though, it feels terrible on kb&m

[odd siren]

50 series was barely worth msrp

[odd siren]

Ye cos reflex 2 is needed

[raven wharf]

alright it is 2:30 am i think im throwing in the towel

[peak swift]

Reflex 2 isn't real

[raven wharf]

been fun chatting

[odd siren]

Frame gen sucks period without reflex 2

[raven wharf]

felix, best of luck

[odd siren]

Stop towelling me

[raven wharf]

going to be interesting to see what happens when i wake up lol, im guessing 30 minutes before oos

atleast online

if MC has hundreds thatll last awhile

alr im off, gl to all trying to get a 9000 series tmr

gn

[waxen elbow]

Upgrading from a 3080 ftw3 ultra 10 gb to a 9070 XT for 3440x1440 o gaming worth?

Gonna try to grab one today online

[weary glade]

I wonder if there’s going to be a founders edition 9070xt

[peak swift]

No, AMD said they aren't selling a reference card this gen

[odd siren]

I'll reference u in a minute

[weary glade]

That’s lame asf

Bruh I hope TUF cards aren’t 250 over msrp

O.o

[odd siren]

Pulse is our saviour

[weary glade]

:(( I’ve never bought

Only Asus

[odd siren]

The world is great beyond asus trust me lol

[weary glade]

I knowwww

I just think some cards r butt ass ugly tho

[odd siren]

Sapphire takes asus to the cleaners

Their cards are so much better in general

[weary glade]

For value I’ve heard they kick ass

For perf too?

[odd siren]

They're always decent

It's the evga of nvidia

[weary glade]

aren’t they rly expensive too?

[odd siren]

Except they do evga better than evga does

[weary glade]

O.o

[odd siren]

Like seriously I've tried most brands at this point I'd consider maybe sparkle close to sapphire

Sapphire is in it's own world tho

[odd siren]

Pulse is msrp

[weary glade]

Hmm

kinda basic but if it’s exactly msrp that’s not bad

if rog close to msrp i might be dumb n comfy buy them

[odd siren]

Gaming oc will also be msrp and that will be sufficient as well tbh

[odd siren]

Rog and tuf won't be at all

[weary glade]

Wut that

[odd siren]

Prime at most

[odd siren]

Gigglebit

[weary glade]

Prime small asf tho?

[weary glade]

gross

[odd siren]

Prime will be the msrp card

The gaming oc looks better than the prime lol

[weary glade]

Prime too tiny

[odd siren]

Asus always does this

Has for years

Prime is the new msrp sku

Tuf and rog will cost extra

And to be frank at that point an xfx quicksilver will be way better

[weary glade]

Fair

[odd siren]

Xfx gets the binned chips

[weary glade]

I wonder how much different they are on performance

[odd siren]

Xfx always seems to get stupid good chips

[weary glade]

I wonder why

I wonder if someone will spec test the difference in gpu brands ,_;

[cerulean rover]

I am just now realizing how big most of these 9070xt's are lol

most of them won't fit in my case

[random walrus]

Some reviewers already have

[cerulean rover]

don't think any reviewers have done more than 2, but you have a pretty big spread with different reviewers reviewing different models

[random walrus]

It typically boils down to: they're all basically the same except for maybe one model that runs a bit hot and a few that have increased power limits

[odd siren]

And then xfx with the good bins

[shut quiver]

so the nitro and the taichi are basically the ones you should avoid

anything else is good?

[dusk nexus]

Where are yall seeing the cards Best Buy only has insanely marked up XFX so far

1 card with a “save 130$” and msrp of 600 for the swift

[keen flax]

Yeah I can't see any cards rn

[waxen elbow]

Just get the $600 one rn right

And no every retailer will have those prices for non AMD swift. ASUS will be around 850$ so will sapphire but u don’t even know what website at what time will have sapphire

[keen flax]

Where is it in stock? I can't see it on newegg

Oh, according to this they won't be live for like another hour
https://www.techradar.com/live/news/where-to-buy-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-and-rx-9070-these-are-the-best-retailers-in-the-us-and-uk

9am est

I only saw the 2 in best buy and they don't ship to PR :/

[waxen elbow]

Yeah I’m running on two hours of sleep haha

Oh my wife’s from PR!

Also guys will the sapphire nitro be worth it for 750$?

[keen flax]

Damn haha

[keen flax]

Oh nice!

I don't get why best buy even though they have stores here and sell the same products don't like shipping stuff here

Atleast let me buy it and send it to the store!

Or charge me shipping lol

[waxen elbow]

Yeah that sucks

I think im gonna pay the 150$ more and get the Shapire nitro for the 3100 clock speed and 1650 base speed

[dusk nexus]

It’s gonna be funny that the nitro is 730 but the red devil seems to be closing in at 800 and has a slash of 1100$…. What clown world is this?

I think pulse will be my top choice. I don’t know anything about swift (xfx), maybe the hellhound if it’s reasonable

[waxen elbow]

Idk but idk where the nitro will be posted so I have bestbuy for swift refreshing and new egg and amazon refreshing to try to get the nitro

Only good thing about bestbuy is it has the page with the gpu already unlike amazon and new egg

[keen flax]

https://videocardz.com/newz/retailer-confirms-radeon-rx-9070-msrp-only-applies-to-first-shipments-price-set-to-increase-later

[keen flax]

Yeah that's much better

[waxen elbow]

So I can’t decide to buy the regular swift or the sapphire for $130 more

[keen flax]

I think I'll just get the regular one

I'll try to aim for the pulse though

It's supposedly one of the MSRP cards

[waxen elbow]

I don’t think a lot of people are gonna instant buy these cards like a NVIDIA release

[keen flax]

Huh

2 HDMI and 2 DP

That's weird

[burnt ivy]

Double screens?

Maybe?

[keen flax]

I find it weird bc it's mostly 3 DP and 1 HDMI lol

I really don't mind tho bc I use one and one (dp for my monitor and HDMI for my C3)

[burnt ivy]

Is there a difference between the HDMI and the DP?

[keen flax]

That pulse is looking pretty nice though so I'll aim for it. Seems to be the better cooler of the MSRP ones

[keen flax]

Well, DP2.1 has a lot more bandwidth

[dusk nexus]

It’s the only way ik im on the right one lol

[burnt ivy]

I was hesitate on what to choose, I know it not a MSRP, but I am going for the Aorus Elite

[dusk nexus]

Well fml

[burnt ivy]

I see.

[keen flax]

Like up to 4K 240Hz, 8K 60Hz, 1440p 500Hz and 10-bit color depth – without relying on DSC.

[keen flax]

Yep lol

[waxen elbow]

I really want the sapphire the swift on bestbuy is my backup

[keen flax]

That is true

[burnt ivy]

Sapphire is my backup

[dusk nexus]

Same idk where the sapphires will be tho

[waxen elbow]

It’s got higher clocks than swift doesn’t it?

[keen flax]

XFX says
Primary Clock Speeds:
Base Clock Up To: 1660 MHz
Game Clock Up To: 2400 MHz
Boost Clock Up to: 2970 MHz

Let me check the pulse

[waxen elbow]

I’m checking amazon for the sapphire and the swift in gonna add to cart on bestbuy instantly in case sapphire isn’t there

[burnt ivy]

2 minutes guys...

[keen flax]

Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Specs
Graphics Processor AMD Navi 48
GPU Base Clock 2400 MHz
GPU Boost Clock 2970 MHz

[burnt ivy]

I mean, even if it not a great clock, the aorus elite is still good?

[keen flax]

Slightly higher

[burnt ivy]

Right?

[waxen elbow]

Aurus is gonna be 850 lol

[keen flax]

Yeah too expensive for me lol

[burnt ivy]

I save a lot already

[keen flax]

Might as well get a 5070ti at that price lol

[burnt ivy]

My pc build was a 3500 end it ending to 2800

[waxen elbow]

Still not for sale wtf

[dusk nexus]

Am I the only one not seeing them?

[waxen elbow]

I’m in line for swift

But nothing else shows on Newegg and Amazon

[left quiver]

Oops

Probably should've censored that

[waxen elbow]

lol bots got them all already

[left quiver]

Damn

[keen flax]

Doesn't let me buy it 🥲

[left quiver]

I don't need mine, I'm probably gonna sell it locally. At no premium, only enough to cover gas...

[dusk nexus]

Newegg not letting me insert a payment method..

[keen flax]

Wasn't the swift an MSRP card...

[dusk nexus]

And now out of stock

[keen flax]

Dude I had a pulse about to check out and it did the same thing!

[waxen elbow]

Bits got every single card like always

[dusk nexus]

Yea same

I can still buy for 720..

[keen flax]

Yeah

[dusk nexus]

Feels like that misses the point of 600$ tho

[keen flax]

Exactly

[dusk nexus]

Nitro is 780..

[keen flax]

Red devil and mercury $800 lol

[dusk nexus]

Damn

Feels bad moment lol.. had it in the cart in the check out and it wouldn’t let me pay

[keen flax]

Yep

Exactly the same for me

[dusk nexus]

Now I’m staring at an Asus prime for 720$..

[waxen elbow]

Order is processing

[keen flax]

Any benefits for getting these over the swift?

[dusk nexus]

At that point I’ll just wait for Nvidia to pressure aibs to get closer

[waxen elbow]

I just got a 800$ one oh well

[keen flax]

Which one?

Oh

[waxen elbow]

Gigabyte

They had no other ones

[keen flax]

Nice

[waxen elbow]

New egg stole the sapphire out my cart

Best Buy has no bot protection what so ever

[keen flax]

Same

[dusk nexus]

Same lol

[old abyss]

the $600 price feeling a little fake atm

[waxen elbow]

I think it was fake

[dusk nexus]

It was

They tried to force it

[keen flax]

Yup

[junior locust]

You might be waiting for literally forever

[old abyss]

made 10 $600, 100 $800, claim its msrp of $600

[keen flax]

Well I still kinda wanna upgrade haha

[old abyss]

[dusk nexus]

Fair..

Gigabyte vs xfx?

[waxen elbow]

Gigabyte has 2700 boost clock

I think they’re the same tbh

[old abyss]

gigabyte for me personally

[dusk nexus]

And the prime

[keen flax]

Which of these has the better cooler?

[burnt ivy]

Yeah, it gone

[waxen elbow]

I got the re guy lar gigabyte is that fine?

Regular

[burnt ivy]

GOD DAMMIT

[waxen elbow]

Or should I cancel and get the auros

[burnt ivy]

AAAHHH

[old abyss]

yeah just stay with regular

[keen flax]

For the price, Hellhound, Quicksilver, Nitro + or red devil?

[dusk nexus]

Secured the gigabyte gaming 9070xt for 729.. not sure how I feel about it honestly

[waxen elbow]

Time to sell the 3080 haha

[dusk nexus]

Na my wife is getting it

It’s the only reason I upgraded

[waxen elbow]

I upgraded cause I sold my mobo, my cpu, and selling my 3080 so in basically covered my wife doesn’t play games lmfao

[dusk nexus]

Her 5600xt died lol

[keen flax]

Damn

[dusk nexus]

Time will tell if this is a good buy I suppose

Annoyed it wasn’t closer to msrp but I suppose that’s a different argument

Ok back to work we go, have a good day yall

[keen flax]

You too

[waxen elbow]

I asked her if she wanted me to build hers but she said she’s all good

[keen flax]

Don't know which one to pick lol

[dusk nexus]

I took the gigabyte gaming.. no idea if that’s a good card. I prob shoulda spent an extra 15$ for the hellhound

[keen flax]

Hellhound should be good right?

The cooling seems very good

Clock speeds are the same

[dusk nexus]

Thought of the gigabyte vs hellhound?

Not sure if I can secure and cancel but who knows

[keen flax]

Those are the 2 I'm debating

I was getting nitro plus but it has the 12v connector

And I don't want to do anything with that haha

[dusk nexus]

I think the hellhound is better slightly OC and prob a better cooler?

Oh apparently the pure is available

[keen flax]

It is

But it's white haha

Well Hellhound sold out

I waited too long

[odd siren]

Got a pulse

[tranquil gate]

asrock was sold out by the time my page loaded when i refreshed at 9:00

[keen flax]

All left is this

I think I'm just going gigabyte lol

Nitro plus is 12v and I'm worried it might catch fire

[keen flax]

Do you think the 12v is a valid concern?

Or is it not an issue for these cards

[odd siren]

It's absolutely a concern

12vhpwr is broken as a spec

[keen flax]

Damn that pure looks great but it's white and it'll clash with my black PC haha

[keen flax]

Thanks

Well there's nothing left now I waited too long

[keen flax]

I wonder how much will they go up in price for the following shipments

[left quiver]

Who was aiming for a rx 9070 xt sapphire nitro+?

[odd siren]

It was over 1500 here

Costs more than an xtx lmfao

Took one look at that and immediately crossed it off

[left quiver]

Where???

Damn

[random walrus]

Australia, so 1500aud~=950usd

[odd siren]

Yeah it costed more than an xtx did 3 months ago

Wasn't even slightly interested

Lmao

[burnt venture]

Had it in my cart. Stupid message pops up, glitched, for the device protection. Get it cleared, carts empty. Fml 🤦‍♂️

[raven wharf]

@odd siren I return

How did it go

[odd siren]

Got pulse

Tried reaper

Tried swift

No dice

But got pulse

Prime was non existent

Tried hellhound even

Asrock was absolutely nowhere except taichi which is ass

Gigabyte had no msrp

So I did...ok-ish

Websites were crashing until msrp cards were gone but I was close to msrp with a pulse so it's ok

Bots went insane

[left quiver]

I think I was at the right time and right place

[raven wharf]

Nice glad you got a pulse

Was it your first try or were you trying something else at first

[odd siren]

I was trying for reaper

It was msrp and reviewed well

I'll take pulse tho

[limber sequoia]

has anyone seen how well the new RDNA cards do with Photoshop AI tasks?

[odd siren]

Shouldn't be too bad considering that Photoshop AI tool isn't super intensive from what I've seen

You could get away with a pretty basic pc these days with PS

[limber sequoia]

My wife does edits on full raw photos in lightroom and PS, sometimes she'll have over a dozen instances open at once and running Adobe neural filters on all of them

she's starting to get error messages about scratch disks being full

[odd siren]

Ah if you're going all in like that then maybe

[limber sequoia]

which I know is a RAM/storage issue

[odd siren]

Ye

[limber sequoia]

so was looking at retooling her editing rig (which is actually just my old gaming rig), and figured I would see if anyone knew how the new Radeon GPUs performed on those tasks

I imagine regardless it will be an upgrade from the GTX 980ti she currently has

[livid idol]

Definitely an upgrade over that no matter what

[raven wharf]

I want a 9070 XT so bad

I could go get one right now but I know I don’t need one

[left quiver]

You willing you pay tariffs?

[keen flax]

Same, I took too long this morning on newegg 🥲

[random walrus]

Not the exact same, but I use Luminar Neo's AI editing features on a laptop with integrated AMD graphics and it's fine

[keen flax]

Too indecisive on which one to get after the Pulse sold out

[left quiver]

I have a feeling it will be restocked faster than nvidia tho

Hopefully

[keen flax]

My 3070 has served me well for the past 4 years but I need more vram haha

[keen flax]

I hope so

Before the prices go up even more

[left quiver]

Whats the current msrp?

[keen flax]

I'll probably sell it on FB marketplace and ask for like $350, is that fair for a XC3 ultra?

[keen flax]

It was $599 for the 9070xt pulse

[random walrus]

$550 for 9070, $600 for 9070xt

(9070xt is the better buy)

[keen flax]

Yup

[random walrus]

Haven't checked prices in a while but I'd expect more like $280-300

[keen flax]

I was going to get the Hellhound since the pulse sold out but I stayed thinking for like 30 mins and it sold out haha

[random walrus]

Maybe less even, lemme look at ebay

[keen flax]

I was thinking if it was worth the extra $30 from the gigabyte one

[keen flax]

Yeah I haven't checked in a bit

[left quiver]

What does evga do radeon gpus?

[random walrus]

He's talking abt selling an evga 3070

[left quiver]

Oh I see, but i mean currently

Oh

[keen flax]

Yeah

I was referring to my 3070 sorry

[random walrus]

Ok used market is lowkey cooked rn so you might actually be able to get $350 lol

[keen flax]

Yeah haha

I was looking at my local market

And it's hovering around 300-350

[keen flax]

Oh that's nice

It's basically CIB as well

I like keeping my boxes safe haha

[random walrus]

Yeah ebay lets you filter by sold listings which is good for getting a price estimate for listing

[keen flax]

Yeah that's really nice

I think I would just sell it locally so I don't have to deal with shipping

Or sell it for like $250 to a friend who want to upgrade his 1660

[random walrus]

Yeah local avoids both shipping and ebay fees

[keen flax]

Or another friend with a 4gb rx6400

[random walrus]

When I sell to friends I usually take the lowest price on ebay and then split the fee between us

[keen flax]

Any of them.would be a good upgrade for them

[keen flax]

Like the seller fee?

That sounds like a good way to price it

I'll offer it for cheap to them if they don't want it I'll just list in FB marketplace for $375 obo so they offer me like $320-45 +/-

[random walrus]

Yeah like for example I sold a cpu to a friend that was going for $70 on ebay, seller fees there are about 13% so I would have gotten $61. He bought it off me for $65 so he saved $5 plus shipping and I saved $4 plus having to package and stop by the post office

[keen flax]

Yeah that's really good

My current goal is to just upgrade the GPU first and see if I can find a cheap 5700x3d

If not I should be fine until I can upgrade the rest next year

I'll get a 9800x3d or whatever is equivalent to that when I upgrade

[left quiver]

Nice!

[keen flax]

Where is that?

[left quiver]

Westmont

👀

Close?

[keen flax]

Is that the store name?

[left quiver]

Micro center at westmont, IL

[keen flax]

Ahhh lmao

I'm from PR haha

[left quiver]

PR?

[keen flax]

Sadly no microcenters here 🥲

Puerto Rico

[left quiver]

[keen flax]

Wish I lived there I would've snatched that Asus one so fast

My only options are BH, Newegg and Amazon

Amazon's cards were non existent, same as BH and I took too long on newegg haha

Lol so many 5070 near MSRP

[raven wharf]

I could fine one at MSRP at microcenter prob

[left quiver]

Definitely looks that way, I'm going there after work

I still can't believe they didn't drop the ball

[dusk nexus]

Wow just got an email that they cancelled my order

[keen flax]

Which one did you order? Gigabyte?

[dusk nexus]

Yea

[keen flax]

Damn that sucks

[dusk nexus]

I can have a friend go to micro center you think the red devil is worth 789vs the hellhound at 750?

[keen flax]

It's $10 cheaper than newegg

I think it has a better cooler

[dusk nexus]

Yea and power draw I think

[random walrus]

$150 or $180 over MSRP... Both seem like a pass to me

[dusk nexus]

There’s nothing else available

And my 730$ one got cancelled

[keen flax]

Normally how much extra are the fancy cards?

[peak swift]

Unfortunately they might not go back down to msrp for a while
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/1j4uek3/retailer_confirms_radeon_rx_9070_msrp_only/

[limber sequoia]

The 5070 TUF is 190 over MSRP at micro center

[livid idol]

A GPU that no one should buy and let the bots/scalpers fight over it

[limber sequoia]

amen

the RX 9070 TUF is $30 cheaper than the 5070 TUF

[craggy pier]

And better

[livid idol]

But the 9070 also performs 10% better while being a little cheaper

[craggy pier]

Its all fun and games until your rops go get the milk

[quartz gull]

Stock at our microcenter for the MSRP models was over 200 cards... They have 4 cards left at msrp

The stock been slowly dwindling all day

Still a lot better than 5000 series launch has been

[livid idol]

Remember: if the 9070 XT sells out that means AMD sold more of them than the entire nvidia 50 series combined

[odd siren]

There's still stock over here in the morning near msrp I can't believe it

[livid idol]

Santa Clara store needs to hurry up and open 😭

They said it would be open last year

Then they said Q1 this year

Q1 is almost over

Once that store opens, never buying tech from Amazon again, and probably not Newegg either. (I'd rather drive an hour than wait days for shipping, and Amazon quality has become nonexistent)

[light radish]

I've been refreshing for the past 18 minutes (since they announced a restock) and it's still out of stock. Has it just not updated yet or did it really sell out that fast?

[cerulean rover]

Reportedly sold out within the first 2 minutes

[livid idol]

Bots go crazy

[peak swift]

I only saw $700+ 9070xt models in stock

[quartz gull]

The best buy near me has 6 cards in stock

Check your local stores

[light radish]

I don't have local stores lol

Nearest Best Buy is 3 hours and nearest Micro Center is 5 hours

[plush trellis]

Anyone with a 5090 suprim or astral looking to “down grade” to a 5090 trio + cash? Must be norcal

[random walrus]

Selling isn't really allowed here. I'd reccomend r/hardwareswap

[modest shuttle]

incredible that shuffle isnt used on gpu launch days

just encouraging botting and scalping more

[plush trellis]

I’m not selling but trading but ya I’ll give it a shot

[dreamy void]

TO hell with scalpers

[odd siren]

Please do not

[odd siren]

Still counts

[rich cedar]

scalper?

[odd siren]

Don't know. Let's not target them either

r/Hardwareswap is the place to go for that either way. Not here

[small salmon]

awe

[keen flax]

Damn

Does anyone have a bot or something for 9700xt stock?

[glass coral]

tried getting one twice today and they both were cancelled

[forest oasis]

direct quote of the rules

▶️ 3. No sweepstakes/ giveaways, e-begging, trading or selling on this server.

[plush trellis]

Ok mb

[odd siren]

All good as long as everyone is on the same page

[keen flax]

Which one in particular?

I've seen a couple of gigabyte cancelled since this morning

[light radish]

For me it was the Powercolor Reaper that got cancelled

[keen flax]

Ohh so different brands too

[modest shuttle]

i had the taichi canceled

and it took almost 45 minutes for them to cancel it

if only they could come up with a lottery system for gpu launches to prevent scalping and bots

oh wait...

[cinder stump]

is it only the 9000 series that has FSR4?

[modest shuttle]

yes

[cinder stump]

gotchu ty

wonder why ppl say stuff like the 7900xtx will have it as well

later on

[glass coral]

First tried with the Aorus Elite, then the XFX Mercury Mag

[keen flax]

Damn that sucks

[keen flax]

Why don't they bring it back for this too?

[modest shuttle]

couldnt tell ya, i think its pretty lame to give way to bots and scalpers

[keen flax]

Lol

[keen flax]

Yep ik

It really sucks, and there was a lot of stock this time

[modest shuttle]

Probably not something I should say in this server but NE hasnt cared much about the consumer in a long time

im starting to think the pictures they posted on twitter with 20-25 cards wasnt a full pallet of them but in fact only 20-25 cards

feels like the only retailer who actually built up stock for 2 months was microcenter

which is worthless the vast majority of people

retail in 2025 is dead, ridiculous to make it the only way to actually get these cards

[keen flax]

Yeah and they have so few locations too

[modest shuttle]

yep, 30+ locations or whatever and only like 12 are actually near a big city, every step makes it a smaller number of people

[keen flax]

For me in PR I have no options besides Newegg, Amazon and BH

And Amazon takes an eternity to send here

Newegg and BH are very fast here

But our local stores are basically scalpers

Selling 5080's for like $2000

[modest shuttle]

yep

im a slave to amazon/ne

the guy who runs chatgpt put a thing talking about the need for GPU's, it's unlikely the GPU market will ever be stable again as long as AI exists

and as with most things in life, the rich will always have the advantage

[weary glade]

meow

msrp 9070xt

[modest shuttle]

/clap

[keen flax]

Yep as always

[keen flax]

Give me

[weary glade]

maybe

[dusk nexus]

@odd siren question for you, the staticish/electric sound i hear now with my GPU thats coil whine right?

[odd siren]

Physical sound?

[craggy pier]

Yes that is coil whine. Also note google works

[odd siren]

Or through headphones

[craggy pier]

Not meant in a mean way

[craggy pier]

Id be surprised if thats what they meant

[dusk nexus]

physical only when i fire up games, worse in some then others and didnt exist till the new NVDA driviers

[craggy pier]

At that point itd just be bad cables

[craggy pier]

Ah yeah coil whine

Thats fine

Could just limit your fps a bit

[odd siren]

Def coil whine

[dusk nexus]

happens on the log screens lol

[odd siren]

And yeah the 572 drivers have been causing this issue

572.XX is cursed

[dusk nexus]

and i did use google but it sounded different. i legit thought it was electric earlier this week but was just able to sit down and explore

[craggy pier]

I dunno too much about nvidia drivers

[dusk nexus]

yea thats when it started

and yea ik i tried to get a 9070 xt today.. idw talk about it

got robbed 3x

[craggy pier]

It might be impacted by your headphones plus just trying to record that type of frequency

[craggy pier]

Jesus, yeah go through official markets man, scammers are rampant

[dusk nexus]

ahh true didnt really think of that

[odd siren]

"rattle" also counts as whine

[craggy pier]

Also im surprised you tried 3 times

[dusk nexus]

naaa it was on newegg lol

first one wouldnt let me add payment

then it let me add and sold out

3rd one bought

and was then canceled

[craggy pier]

Ah i thought you were saying those scam listings on amazon and the like

Phew

[dusk nexus]

oh nono im not that insane

came REAAALLL close to having a friend buy me a red devil from microcenter

[craggy pier]

Lol youd be surprised what people do for fomo

[keen flax]

Lmao speaking of 572.xx

[dusk nexus]

but after taxes and shipping it woulda been 950$ for a 600$ card..

[shut quiver]

@odd siren may u help me in the topic of monitors

[keen flax]

fortnite dont like it either

[craggy pier]

Yikes yeah not a good idea

[craggy pier]

What specifically

[keen flax]

same on this one lol

[dusk nexus]

i think we were in the trenches tg this morning lol

[craggy pier]

The website just didnt have time to load

That it was already sold out

Thanks scalping programs

[shut quiver]

i want a monitor

27”
4k uhd (cuz i don’t like oled that much)
curved
over 144hz

[craggy pier]

27" 4k?

[keen flax]

Yep lmaoo

[keen flax]

yup

[dusk nexus]

did you end up locking one up or na?

[craggy pier]

Also oled has nothing to do with resolution

[keen flax]

nah

[shut quiver]

yes

[craggy pier]

Do you wanna keep that screen size or resolution because 4k starts only being worth at around 32"

[shut quiver]

really?

[keen flax]

x2

[shut quiver]

i feel like 32” is wayy to big

[keen flax]

For 27" def go 1440p

[craggy pier]

Yeah hella diminishing returns

[dusk nexus]

damn im sorry. im gonna try to have my sister in law hit up MC in massachusetts tmrw and see if they got any. closest one to me is in Miami or georgia and they are both about 6-7 hours

[craggy pier]

Then 27" 1440p is way up your alley

[keen flax]

Closest to me is a 2-3hr plane ride and a couple hours in car

PR moment

[odd siren]

I don't have time to explain 30 questions today. I am gonna give you two options. Spend as your money allows it, both are excellent. OLED is a big step up:
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7QsV3C/acer-nitro-xv275u-p3-270-2560-x-1440-170-hz-monitor-umhxxaa302
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qfpQzy/acer-predator-x27u-bmiipruzx-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-umhxxaa001

[shut quiver]

like wha, also ik oled has nothing to do with resolution, but the thing is i don’t feel as if the difference is really allat

[craggy pier]

You can get some pretty bangin mini leds at that range

[craggy pier]

Its a really good difference, but between that and miniled the price aint worth it unless you already forking over stupid money

[keen flax]

Get 27'' 1440p 240hz

[craggy pier]

And these are great options

[dusk nexus]

oof yea its been a rough GPU season.. I heard on a Moores law vid yesterday that AIBs were told to prepare for an extreme variant for Q2

[craggy pier]

144hz minimum

[dusk nexus]

supposedly targeting the 5080

[shut quiver]

it’s just i was at micro center and 4k uhd looks so nice to me, for the oled ones (they weren’t 4k), me looking at something such as the windows icon, i can see the individual pixels and i don’t like that

[keen flax]

what gpu do you have

[dusk nexus]

me?

[craggy pier]

At a normal viewing distance you will never see the individual pixels

Youre just spending pointless money

[keen flax]

sorry @shut quiver

Bc 4k 144hz + is pretty hard to run

[craggy pier]

Again, REALLY good options here

[keen flax]

yup

[shut quiver]

i got my hands on this one

[keen flax]

then deffo 1440p

[craggy pier]

Sub 200 miniled at those specs is insane

[shut quiver]

this actually might have just convinced me

[craggy pier]

So id grab the acer nitro ngl

[craggy pier]

Ive got a 27" 1440p monitor and a 24" 1080p monitor. Both i cannot see pixels at a normal viewing distance, and 1440p still provides a way better experience imo when it comes to fine detail

You will not be missing out, trust me

[shut quiver]

i will trust you

maybe i cuz i was looking close the entire time

and that’s what got me

[craggy pier]

Yup, its not a rare mistake

[shut quiver]

also that $500 build boi recommended, it has terrible reviews

[craggy pier]

Terrible reviews for msrp

Theres a difference

Although id only grab oled at 350-400 personally

[shut quiver]

this one

[craggy pier]

Yeah the reviews are for the price

The panel is fine

And its half off

[shut quiver]

it’s prob always half off

[craggy pier]

No

Even if it was

[keen flax]

Also yeah from what gpu are you upgrading from

[dusk nexus]

3080

[craggy pier]

Its still very good specs on a new oled

Look at rtings

[dusk nexus]

@keen flax was planning to give the 3080 to the wife to replace her 5600XT

[keen flax]

Nice upgrade on both

[dusk nexus]

then i was debating between a 1440 and 4k set up

[shut quiver]

damn, and rtings is trusted

i hope it looks fire

[dusk nexus]

and yea woulda paired nicely. i dont NEED the upgrade but honestly kinda was worried about what these tarffs are gonna do to pricing

[shut quiver]

$500 is a lot

[craggy pier]

You cant just take reviews at face value

[craggy pier]

Just grab the miniled

Its way better value imo

Id legit sell my monitor for that one without hesi lol

Its been on my wishlist for a minute

[shut quiver]

which ones that

[dusk nexus]

if the 5080 was a better uplift and avail i prob woulda pulled the trigger on that tbh

[craggy pier]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7QsV3C/acer-nitro-xv275u-p3-270-2560-x-1440-170-hz-monitor-umhxxaa302

[dusk nexus]

@shut quiver you could always look up monitors unboxed too

[craggy pier]

This has been one of if not the best value monitors for a good minute now

[craggy pier]

True, but its not necessary

[shut quiver]

2ms tho 😬

[shut quiver]

is that a minitor reviewing thingy source

[craggy pier]

Your pc has like 15ms innate delay

You will never notice lmao

[dusk nexus]

yes its hardware unboxed monitor reviews

[craggy pier]

Dont get marketed

[shut quiver]

oh deadahh? so the entire time, my current pc (an alienware) which probably has hella innate delay, i never got to feel what my 1ms actually is like?

[craggy pier]

Its all marketing

[shut quiver]

they sure did a hell of a good job on me, i always look at the ms

[craggy pier]

Hdr10 is a great example of that marketing

[keen flax]

I think I would still stay with both 1440p

Just high high hz 1440p for me

[craggy pier]

Lol yeah theyll convince you any way they can, as long as it aint like 20ms or something dw about it

[keen flax]

I'd love to get a 240hz 1440p OLED next year

[shut quiver]

any more tips not to get marketed? like outside of monitors

[dusk nexus]

yea thats what i was leaning towards. current pannel is 1440p 165hz. i mighta pushed for a 240 if i could find a decent value.

Im hoping the 4th gen OLEDs come out this year from LG and that it pushes the 3rd gens lower

[craggy pier]

None that wouldnt take forever to get into

Other than like, dont buy a 5090 lmao

[shut quiver]

cuz i know ram probably had some marketing tactics

[keen flax]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wXRgXL/lg-27gl83a-b-270-2560-x-1440-144-hz-monitor-27gl83a-b

This is my current monitor

It still works great so it'll be monitor 2 when I switch

[forest oasis]

Q27G3XMN is a fair bit better tbh
better local dimming (aka better hdr)
better VRR

and i just looked at the price of the acer and it seems like it has a fairly good deal currently so honestly the value goes to that 💀

[craggy pier]

Eh kinda, just look for cl30-34 and 6000mhz ram

And dont get corsair ram

Boom

[craggy pier]

Q27 is still an amazing monitor tbf

But yeah

[forest oasis]

don't trust specs
simple

[craggy pier]

Nitro is hard to beat lol

[shut quiver]

what’s the difference between mini-led and oled

[dusk nexus]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/K2cRsY/dell-s2721dgf-270-2560x1440-165-hz-monitor-s2721dgf

[shut quiver]

alright lemme get a gpu that’s 1 gb ram

LOL

[dusk nexus]

LG is really good

[craggy pier]

Mini led uses panels like ips or va with extremely small backlights for local dimming

Oled light is all in the individual pixels themselves

[shut quiver]

can you dumb it down for me cuz i have no idea what allat means, all i know is that oled is meant to be good

[forest oasis]

within reason lol

[craggy pier]

Basically, OLED is fire, miniled is also fire but way more affordable

Just grab miniled lol

[keen flax]

Thats also very good, saw one at best buy and liked it

[shut quiver]

that was a good asf explanation, thank you for explaining it to someone who does not know about pcs

LOL

[dusk nexus]

balou thats the best description of OLED ive heard. its lava

[keen flax]

yup I'll probably stick with Lg for my OLED monitor

[craggy pier]

What can i say, im a natural

[shut quiver]

alr lemme get an intel athlon 💔

[forest oasis]

oled is self emissive, every pixel can independently turn on and off with perfect blacks
miniled uses (usually white) mini leds as a backlight which also often are locally dimming, with a LCD panel that does the colours (which ends up being almost perfect blacks but potentially with haloing)

[dusk nexus]

yea them and samsung make all the panels anyway

[keen flax]

yep

I love my LG C3

for movies and TV shows, everything looks so good

[shut quiver]

LOL first time today at micro center, all the workers look geeky and nerdy asf

[peak swift]

I have an S90C and I love it as well

[craggy pier]

To understand what he means by doing the colors, if you take that part of the panel off the monitor and hold it over your eyes, you can see the screen. Remove it from your view and its just white light

[dusk nexus]

they are working to bring a true white or something this year and i think i head they are going to do away with the matte finish so its not smudgy. and Samsung supposedly has fixed the magenta in light

[keen flax]

OLED ftw!!!

[keen flax]

oooh

[peak swift]

I ended up choosing that over the C3 because it supports 144hz (and it was cheaper at the time)

[dusk nexus]

end of this year early next year for LG

[keen flax]

I went C3 bc for my room I could only fit 48'' and Samsung doesnt make them that small

[craggy pier]

Im still stuck on ips

Lol

[peak swift]

Yep, LGs are great for that. I know people with 42 inch LGs for pc gaming

[craggy pier]

I would perish

[dusk nexus]

damn thats not to much realestate?

i felt like a 32 inch was to much

[craggy pier]

But yeah a friend of mine had a like 50" samsung as their "monitor" lol

[peak swift]

These are my older friends that own homes, so they have a lot more space than I do lol

[craggy pier]

32" can be too much if it dont fit, but id be happy w/ one

[keen flax]

For monitor same haha

[keen flax]

yeah they work great for PCs

[peak swift]

32 inch would be pushing it for me in my apartment

[keen flax]

I ocasionally use it for gaming on my PC but the 3070 isnt enough haha

[craggy pier]

Both my monitors are in here
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CrccGJ

[keen flax]

hahaha

[dusk nexus]

idk maybe i was to close, i have an office set up. it just felt huge (i was also coming from a 20inch or something)

[craggy pier]

Im still so happy with the deal i got on that led

[keen flax]

like that huge 49'' ultra ultra ultra wide samsung monitor

[craggy pier]

Fair, its a large jump for sure. And yeah you need to back up a smidge

[keen flax]

the something odyssey

[craggy pier]

Not enough desk room hurts

27" still works wonders for me tho

[keen flax]

Yep, biggest I can have rn is a 27"

But its great for me

[craggy pier]

27" is an amazing sweetspot, and with 1440p its just chefs kiss

[keen flax]

If i get a main oled one I'll probably put the old one on top

[dusk nexus]

i think its 24inches deep, id have to measure i built it myself so i dont remember

[craggy pier]

Yeah id want a bit more room unless im like mounting it against the wall

[peak swift]

I acquired some monitor arms from work so I just pull out my main screen when it's time to game

[craggy pier]

Id love to build myself a desk, closest ive gone to that is assembling one lol

[keen flax]

same

[craggy pier]

Finessed

[dusk nexus]

26 inches i was a little off. but yea i think something like 30ish would be better

[craggy pier]

Entirely legally

[craggy pier]

26" is still good at 1440p

Wait

Im braindead

[dusk nexus]

the depth lol

[craggy pier]

LMAO

[dusk nexus]

monitor is 27 inches

32 felt to big at the viewing distance

[craggy pier]

32" needs a girthy desk imo

[dusk nexus]

yea if i got up to 4k ill prob stay at 27inches for the increased density

i think it jumps to what like 160ppi?

[craggy pier]

Couldnt recommend

4k even at 32" has a higher ppi than 1440p at 27"

And 1440p is pretty sharp at 27"

[dusk nexus]

really? ive had a bunch of ppl tell me to do that instead of

[craggy pier]

Moral of the story: Dont trust people

Even if that means me

[dusk nexus]

ill have to find a store with stuff on display. idt the bestbuys near me do that tho

[craggy pier]

Just do yo damn research 🔥

[dusk nexus]

OR MARKETING 😄

[keen flax]

I'd also stay 1440p hahaha

[craggy pier]

Marketing will try to sell you an hd screen at 32" and say "oh its high definition you'll love it!"

Then the uninformed buyer will be owning a 720p screen at 32"

[keen flax]

Now that's horrible haha

My rooms TV for a long time was a huge 32" Samsung 720p tv with horrible viewing angles

[dusk nexus]

that sounds like MHW telling me to run the game at 1080p with performance mode DLSS AND frame gen to hit 60fps

and telling me its a good experience

[craggy pier]

Mine was too until a bit less than 2 years ago, horrible good times

[craggy pier]

Oh its a good experience alright

Just

For their wallets
