>>1125273 Or you can just not play shitty modern AAA video games.

>>1125331 You also want power efficiency and hardware overhead for work and multitasking, anon. Few people have the luxury of an entire PC dedicated solely to video games.

>>1125331 you sure have a lot of faith in the average developer no one should buy a gpu now with less than 16gbvram if he plans to use it more than a year

I'm still happy with the rig ended up building back in January >AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D CPU >Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super >4TB WD Black SN850X SSD >32 GBs of DDR5 RAM The only thing I'm really questioning myself on is the 7600X3D CPU (should I have waited until the stock issues that the AMD Ryzen 7800X3D and Ryzen 7 9800X3D had cooled off?) and the RTX 4070 Ti Super but the latter part has proven itself well.

>>1125402 >you sure have a lot of faith in the average developer I have faith in the known entity that is games in my backlog. I buy GPU's to play older games at higher resolutions, not to play modern trash.

>>1125210 I've found a couple places where having a 4080 is a good thing, but yeah a 3080 is good enough if you don't feel like a game you play often could be running better or don't wanna upgrade your monitor's resolution.

>>1125757 I run 1440 right now, 4k is nothing but a meme anyway.

I wonder if the 5080ti will be the card to save the 50 series?

>ctrl+f poorfag >no results What a comfy jeetless thread.

>>1131950 There's one retard that occasionally goes on a shit-posting spree about how linux is for poorfags, but he only does it once or twice a year.

Earlier this week, I deshrouded my XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT 309 AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 XT and zip-tied two NF-A12x25s to the heatsink The card still has some idle coil whine which has no business being as annoying as it is (it clicks all the time pretty much like a geiger counter) but at least it's a lot quieter when actually under load

>>1100892 Cool GPU. Proud owner of it despite my CPU is subpar.

>>1134963 >The card still has some idle coil whine which has no business being as annoying as it is (it clicks all the time pretty much like a geiger counter) but at least it's a lot quieter when actually under load You could try thermal putty to mitigate the issue, some do wax / pastidip but that's sketchy when it come to thermals, putty should also help while not making thermals an issue.

>>1135548 >thermal putty That does sound a lot safer than glue. Thanks for the great suggestion

I have a gainward 3090, it runs too hot and throttles at 80C. Will repasting it help?

>>1086797 I sold my 3090 recently and am using an old gtx770. It turns out that playing either 2d or older 3d games is still fun.

>>1136126 Changing the thermal paste is usually unnecessary unless your GPU is really old or if you're pushing the shit out of it. Consider first checking if the fans are properly working and clean everything up.

>>1086108 WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I BUY A 9070 XT FOR A RESONABLE PRICE

>>1132458 >how linux is for poorfags Which is funny because India is the most linux-loving country of all.

>>1140712 >>1136126 It's possible it will help, 30 series that come from the COVID era had all sorts of factory fuckups and bad paste and / or thermal pad application is one of them, another possible issue is that your Gainward GPU is the lowest end model of the brand and what's throttling the card isn't the GPU / VRAM but the VRM because they undersized that shit on their lowest end models.

>>1136126 Try applying a TPM pad, they are the hottest meme now for high end GPUs

>>1136126 Also if you're not sure what to do here' some video of a guy doing a basically perfect repaste + thermal putty job on a 3090, don't do copper shims they're marginally better but also very easy to fuck up in a way that breaks your GPU permanently. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=TLZSv_U46b8 Can also recommend >>1144744 if you don't mind the expense, it'll last forever and will be easier to apply so long as you use the correct method (which is putting the pad in the freezer for 30 minute to make it harder and less sticky)

>>1088373 There are AMD and Intel mods for some of those RTX demos. https://gamebanana.com/mods/512627 And apparently someone made one for the Steam Deck of all things. https://gamebanana.com/mods/522333 But what ticks me off the most is that 'influncers' refuse to use Optiscaler with Half-Life 2's RTX mod. There's no excuse. Only thing people have posted online with it is one random screenshot on Steam of testing XeSS. But apparently someone got FSR3 working without Optiscaler. I understand this app supports FSR4. Useless to me as I have a 3070 ti.

Hello anons, I have a question. I'm kinda living in the past with a single monitor setup at 1080p, said monitor is also about to die. So I need a new one and definitely want to go for a dual monitor setup. Now the question is, what resolution? (I won't go for a high refresh rate I don't need that) Honestly? I think 1080p would still be enough for me, but with DLSS you basically get free resolution upgrades no? So shall I get a dual 4k setup or could that cause problems I'm not aware of? I'm into older PC games and retro games, that could be tricky at times.

>>1148275 DLSS quality depends on your generation of graphics card. Dual 4k shouldn't cause any issues. Monitors are a lot more complicated than just resolution. There are multiple panel technologies with various features and issues. You should probably just study videos on this channel to get an understanding. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDKLZBNM9XZ7pHPZF9D8xDQ

>>1148275 >Now the question is, what resolution? Gonna depends almost entirely on your GPU >(I won't go for a high refresh rate I don't need that) That's pretty gay >but with DLSS you basically get free resolution upgrades no? No DLSS is blurry shit, do not fall for the meme >So shall I get a dual 4k setup or could that cause problems I'm not aware of? Not unless you're rolling some very old GPU But for games you probably will have to run it at 1080p to get a decent enough framerate unless you're rich enough to be a 5090 owner. Get some office IPS monitors with 75 / 100hz refresh rate in 1080p, it's good enough if you don't want anything specific and play videogames, you can go 60hz but honestly not worth it when 100hz is way better and basically the same price usually The ASRock CL25FF looks like a decent choice for a pair of monitor > There are multiple panel technologies with various features and issues TL;DR being get an IPS until OLED is either cheap enough you don't mind changing monitor every 5 years or they fix the burn in which they still have not >but muh VA blurry shit, if you wanna watch movies get an OLED TV >but muh TN Literally no point anymore unless you want 240Hz+ >but muh OLED >but muh burn in prevention tricks Unless you're okay with paying $700 for something that will be irreversibly and visibly degraded within 5 years you do no want OLED currently, nothing will prevent that, the current tips that are floating around are just to avoid getting it completely fucked in a few months, it won't stop long term degradation unless you play at absurdly low brightness.

>>1148399 >DLSS quality depends on your generation of graphics card. Dual 4k shouldn't cause any issues. >>1148619 >Gonna depends almost entirely on your GPU I just bought a 5070ti. I think I'm going for a double IPS setup, the question is just whether I go for dual 1440p or 4k.

>>1155924 It seems like a 5070ti can reliably get 60fps or close to it at 4k, so 4k might be worth it if you don't care about higher refresh rate gaming. Though most people would probably recommend aiming for high refresh rate at 1440p.

>>1155988 Can't you abuse 1080p with integer scaling on a 4k monitor and get the best of both worlds? Or does that look terrible in practice?

>>1155924 >I think I'm going for a double IPS setup, the question is just whether I go for dual 1440p or 4k. 1440p honestly, with a 5070ti it's pretty much gonna be fine, and maybe you'll have to DLSS a bit for very recent stuff with RT. >>1156177 >Can't you abuse 1080p with integer scaling on a 4k monitor and get the best of both worlds? Or does that look terrible in practice? Some monitors fuck it up, but if they don't yeah that's pretty good actually >>1155924 >It seems like a 5070ti can reliably get 60fps or close to it at 4k With DLSS or sacrifices sure otherwise no

>>1157500 I'm too lazy to look into it any deeper but this video appears to benchmark it at above 60FPS average for 4K games without RT. https://youtu.be/UMPK1SeMEZM?t=733

Anything adjustment or changes? My first PC instead of laptop.

>>1157581 Well yeah no RT is the reason why it can do 4k60, kind of weird to buy a 5070ti and not do RT though. >>1159274 Replace that SSD with a Crucial T500 besides that nothing worth touching up.

>>1160084 I never assume RT as a default when talking about the performance a card can output. But DLSS from what I understand scales much better at 4K than lower resolutions because it had significantly more data to work with. So 4K60 RT is probably not outlandish with the assistance of super sampling tech. I've only heard of frame generation having particularly bad artifacting, and you can simply not use it. Though I have no hands on experience with any of this jewvidia nonsense.

>>1121641 Scuf Envision I think the cross dpad is overrated and strongly prefer the "hybrid dpad" on the Series controllers, so I got this for my dpad centric gaming. Overall I am very happy with it, but using it for longer sessions causes my hands to get a bit cramped due to the shape, but that's a totally subjective thing - some people seemed to like the DS4 but that wrecked my hands. Mechanical switch dpad, face buttons, 2/4 back buttons, side buttons, and triggers if you switch them from analogue.
