I got curious and checked prices and the ti super would be 120 usd more pre tax if I keep everything else the same
mortal grail
How does the 7900xt compare to the 4070ti super?
Considering you paid more like 500 for yours, absolutely terribly
If you're a fanatic for RT, they're a little bit comparable, if not, well the 7900 XT is much faster in raster
Not remotely worth paying more for at all

"TL;DR Bottleneck calculators take massive generalisations and will cause someone to almost completely miss the entire snapshot of the performance that they wanted to know in the first place.
Bottleneck calculators are a commonly searched tool on the internet to make a generalised comment on a pairing of hardware for things such as games, workstation software, rendering and the like.
Bottlenecks are regarded as a limit for a pc in a given task, and each different workload, each different game, each different task may and will push a pc to a limit in a certain way, and it's never the same way. Some games will push the cpu to a limit, most the GPU, some the ram, etc.
Bottleneck calculators try to generalise this and this is why you should never use them. It isn't a true outlook of the hardware you'd be working with and doesn't give you a real take on the performance, especially when you consider your own individual needs. Some bottlenecks are good for example, a lot are expected and normal, some are caused by the application itself and don't bring out the full pc performance either, the games or apps you use might be very specific and unique in their behaviour and have an entirely different realm of performance altogether."

I forgot we wrote this a short while ago

"TL;DR Bottleneck calculators take massive generalisations and will cause someon...
Ic so if you have a decent enough cpu and a good gpu its irrelevant to think of till a certain degree

I will say this though
I hate having to open settings to switch the audio output
I’d rather open the quick menu

I don't even like the quick menu, it gets too crowded too quickly xD

Is mounting exhaust fans on the roof of the pc case worth it if you got a cooler instead of an aio?
tranquil pebble
bootlegs are pretty pointless, it doesnt have the same show off factor lol
velvet summit
It could be
Positive pressure in the case is more ideal though
Less dust
Assuming you have filtered intakes
tranquil pebble
Less dust
makes sense since the dust would be blown out from the positive to less pressure
basic physics of air really
velvet summit
makes sense since the dust would be blown out from the positive to less pressure
It's more like dust won't try to seep in through the leaks in the case
tranquil pebble
Well a combo of both
the pressure difference would be slightly pushing against anything trying to do that
velvet summit
I've seen negative pressure cases with like, the side panel gap having a line of dust because air was going in through it lmao
opaque sedge
Can I make the front 3 fans and the 1 back fan intake and install three fans up top for exhaust?
mortal grail
Sure
velvet summit
You probably wouldn't want the back fan to be intake since usually that isn't filtered
mortal grail
Sure
velvet summit
My fan setup is intake at the front and the front top, and no fan at the top back, and one exhaust for the back

velvet summit
Wbt aio’s? It seems there are mixed opinions on these too, some say its easy ins...
Depends
If cpu tasks are more important, aio might be better with intake so you get fresh cool air for the aio, but will preheat the air for the GPU
Or you could use an exhaust setup, which will use the GPU preheated air to cool the cpu
Though in reality it doesn't matter too much
Though it may be less dusty to use it as an exhaust

Its so over for normies they dont even know

Guys I'm stumped and have a question. I'm hooking up some el cheapo thermalright fans in my wifes pc. I've solved that each fan draws about .2 amps and my header supports 2 amps so 6 can definitely go on one fan header. As for aRGB though, I can't find anything about how much these fans draw. My aRGB header supports up to 3 amps and 15 watts. Are 6 fans too much for this one header? Do I need a separate sata powered hub? Please help 🙏 (sorry for the repost to different channel)

cpu is probably the most sweat inducing part of the build
For some reason, pushing the GPU into the pcie slot is more of a sweat for me than the CPU.
velvet summit
interesting
why so? there's less things to mess up
though ig the gpu usually is the singlemost expensive part of a build
gleaming rivet
I'm afraid I'll mess up the PCB on the GPU.
velvet summit
idk how that would even happen lmao
gleaming rivet
Well the part that slots into the pcie slot. I'm afraid I don't get it lined up just right lol
It's not a huge fear. It's slight. Installing the CPU doesn't make me sweat at all. If anything, I find it to be the easiest to do.
velvet summit
hmm
tbf it doesnt really make me sweat anymore, though the first few times it definitely did
alot more potential for damage to the cpu/socket pins than a gpu
gleaming rivet
Yeah, I guess I just never really tripped about it. I do enjoy watching the cover pop when you close the ilm though
velvet summit
tbh also from my observations, most new builders are mostly scared of installing the cpu purely because of how much force is required (at least for intel sockets) to close the latch
or even just to open the latch
and then they take off the plastic cover and then that makes me clench
my life shortens every time i watch a first build stream on twitch

Hi noobs
devout forum
Honestly here the 4070 Super is a tiny bit cheaper than the 7900 GRE
And it's got less power draw with mostly comparable perf so I guess there is an argument to be made there
devout forum
I still feel like RT is largely a gimmick, but yes
devout forum
IMO 4070S and 7900GRE are close enough in perf to say "Just get whichever is cheaper"
mighty hazel
You’re just on amd trust 🙏
On nvidia it’s actually good ray tracing over 70 fps
devout forum
If you use upscaling
mighty hazel
Let me show u the benchmark
devout forum
Without upscaling perf hit is way too big
Then again
4070S is close enough overall that I would say "Literally just buy whichever is cheaper"
mighty hazel
No upscaling
devout forum
I mean yeah RT
Raster the 7900GRE is still stonks
Now if you play a given game
And you get 150fps average on it 1440p max graphics no RT
Turn on RT, lose half your frames, then turn on upscaling and only lose 30%
The performance hit is massive
Also
12gb VRAM might be a problem
Hell my 6700XT has 12gb and I'm a bit worried it'll not be enough to last me 5 years
And I don't even play 1440p rn
chrome mirage
My 7900XTX is exceeding my expectations with ray tracing
chrome mirage
But CP77 is ridiculous
I'm playing it with path tracing on. I have to use fsr to get 30fps though

Path tracing makes a huge difference to the look of the game

Tho "input lag" might not be the right word

I haven't tried it only dlss3
dlss3 works magic in that game for sure
devout forum
I don't hate on nGreedAI for their upscaling or RT
I'm hating on them for their prices being utterly ridiculous
grand kernel
there's definitely an argument for buying nvidia cards that aren't the 4090
chrome mirage
I don't know how to enable FSR 3. In cyberpunk there's only options for 2.1 I think
devout forum
are you using fsr3?
Not sure actually
6700XT has FSR3 now right?
grand kernel
I think so?
devout forum
Might need to update drivers, not sure
grand kernel
I think fsr3 is fully software implementation so there's no reason not to release it for older gpus
devout forum
But the RT thing wasn't on my PC
grand kernel
even pascal can fsr3 I think
grand kernel
you definitely need something pretty high end to make the most of RT but it's not a gimmick
chrome mirage
Looks like there's a mod to get fsr3
grand kernel
at least not anymore

idk it's in ngreedia's hands whether or not they decide to do that tbh
grand kernel
real time path tracing has been the ultimate goal of computer graphics since its inception
imagine just saying "real time path tracing at 60 fps" to an enthusiast in the early 90s
devout forum
They'd cream their pants
grand kernel
path tracing did exist back then but uhhh
frames per day
only used for prerendered stuff like movies
and now we can play video games with path tracing
it's fine if it's locked to high end stuff at first imo
devout forum
Ultimately what I want is competition driving the price down
Cuz this GPUflation is pain

kinda just how this technology stuff works
the thing I'm afraid of is radeon becoming not competitive

I miss when midrange was 250-300 bucks and could play any game in 1440p

don't think AI is going away

more demand naturally leads to higher prices
devout forum
It will burst sooner or later
And when it bursts, the industry moves to another fad
grand kernel
I'm not knowledgeable enough to say whether or not it's a bubble that will burst
but I don't think the demand to use GPGPUs for ...GP compute is going away
devout forum
I think it'll be like crypto
devout forum
When eventually proper proprietary gear just becomes better so demand falls
