An RX 9070 XT makes way more sense than any 50 series gpu barring a 5090, but that is stupidly priced. And if the rumors of rdna 5 being 300% faster than rdna4 are true nvidia will be in trouble again, because that time amd's drivers won't suck like in the radeon 6000 era.

>>108229343
amd drivers were always better than nvidia especially on linux

Need GPU help
>RTX 5070 12GB
>RX 9070 XT 16GB
1440 gaming, this is the last decision I need to make to complete my build.
9070 is about $50 more but has more VRAM and seems better on paper, but I have no personal experience with AMD gpus or any of their nvidia-equivalent features.
Most of the benchmark showcases I can find also put the 9070 a fair bit ahead, but they all use bottom of the barrel AAA slop games I'd never play so its hard to derive meaningful value from that.
Is there any reason I should not shell out $50 more for the 9070XT? Or conversely any reason the 5070 should be considered?

My CPU is a 7800x3d and my PSU is 750W if that changes anything.

>>108229380
if you don't care about slop get the amd gpu

>>108229380
I would go 9070xt.

>>108229230
Mi455x is so good that Lisa had to give 20% of AMD for free for someone to use it.

>>108229343
the most significant thing about RDNA 4, and the trend will continue in RDNA 5, is the ray tracing hardware added to the cards. upscaling is good enough that it's no longer a selling feature of a brand, and ray tracing was the last thing Nvidia had over AMD. but Sony wants to push ray tracing on the PS6 so AMD started adding RT hardware to their cards.
so now if you don't have a software stack that requires Nvidia's CUDA, you just buy whatever is the best price in your budget, and ignore the brand.

>>108229380
In a recent blind study of 1,000 people they showed them games at 4k with FRS vs Native vs DLSS 4.5.
Over 50% of the people said DLSS 4.5 looked the best visually.

All games use some kind of up scaling. Nvidia is just doing it best right now.

So I would go with the RTX 5070.

>>108229309
do you have thermal limits set in BIOS, like eco mode?

>>108228961 (OP)
Is ebay always this filled with scams? I was looking for 5090s, found one for a low price, clicked to see more technical information and only then did i see its actually a 3090. The title and the images used are all 5090 stock images just to further confuse people

Literal autism.

Yes some of the smaller plugs or pins only come in brown. I know this for the 80/90mm PWM/FWM/DC models that they don't sell enough to warrant a black version.

>>108229380
Personally I'd go with the 9070xt for the extra vram. The 5070 would do better ray tracing and upscaling, but since that's mostly for modern slop, it's up to what you're wanting to play.

It can display 4k but it's not ideal for 4k. It doesn't even have displayport 2 and you're reliant on dsc for high hz.

If you are considering an AMD 9000 series GPU because you have been influenced by Reddit, Twitter or a wealthy tech YouTuber, it’s worth understanding AMD’s track record. While their GPUs are often great at beating cherry-picked benchmarks, they normally fall short in real-world gaming performance. Every year, an army of influencers target first-time buyers declaring AMD a godsend for PC gamers. Every year a small percentage of users get duped. Since almost all PC gamers use Steam, the February 2025 Steam statistics are relevant: AMD’s combined market share for discrete 5000/6000/7000 series GPUs is 3%. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s 4060 alone has 9% market share. This reality starkly contrasts with influencer hype. The reason is simple: influencers rarely play games and gamers rarely buy AMD GPUs. Experienced gamers know all too well that high average fps are worthless when they are accompanied with stutters, random crashes, black screens, excessive noise and a limited feature set. It’s notable that AMD’s GPUs have not historically had these problems in consoles because, unlike PCs, consoles operate in a closed environment which is less dependent on robust drivers. Using influencers for hardware performance data is less effective than using foxes to babysit chickens

any benefit you get from 5070 dlss 9070xt can make up for in pure raster

also amd has its own AI suite now so you can play around that (more limited obviously)

>>108229380
At this point getting the 9070XT would be a retard move.
They're way overpriced for what they are. They can't make use of any modern features like DLSS, FG or RT.
If you're planning on upgrading in the next couple of years, it's an okay pick, if you can get it close to MSRP. But, if you want a GPU that's going to last a few years, Nvidia is the way to go as DLSS is going to extend the lifespan of any card way beyond what AMD offers right now.
Especially as AMD ceases support for cards very quickly.

>>108230985
If I only game and do basic office work stuff do I really need more cores? Also, from what I've read the Ryzan 7 series is better for gaming anyway.

Thank you, I will try those cables. If it still doesn't work I guess I'm going to send back the GPU? Something has got to be defective about it

>>108231766
>>108231890
Honestly staying on a beefy AM4 setup is pretty sane considering how much it costs to build an AM5 one right now. I'd say you made the right choice. Not like you wont be able to run any new games anyways considering how capable your machine is now.

>>108231735
Knowing my luck they will tell me to get fucked and offer 30% refund or offer me to pay a little extra fee due to the new market prices, nothing much, just the exact same price I got the fucking thing for to get a replacement because the prices literally fucking doubled.

Why are they all like this?
With the exception of maybe Cyberpunk its always games I could only describe as normieslop that I probably wouldn't feel like playing even if they were freely added in my library.

Maybe I'm dumb and that's the whole point: that if they can run slop at good fps they can run anything actually good or somewhat optimized at 2-3x the fps
But in my head it would make more sense to see how well a prospective GPU performs on the games that I'd actually play...

I'd say you made the correct choices. It's weird to see all the 9950x3d hocking going on when it's hilariously overpowered for any video game. 9070xt was also the best choice you could have made for Linux. I don't think oled is mature enough for my use case but enjoy your nice monitor.

>>108231914
Thank you.
The price was indeed the main reason, with the difference being about 50% more for am5 cpu+mobo and ddr5.

>>108231829
Can't say sadly I have no AMD/ATI experience. I sadly swore them off in 2010 when I had a questionable experience.
Did you isolate the monitor? Make sure it's not some sort of weird DP mode that may be a communication issue that makes it drop too.

>>108231975
Ignore those. There are usually one or two youtube comparison videos for every kind of gpu and game.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZWM44QP/?coliid=I2WTATSPSO5710&colid=1DYBZ0UPHA4A0&th=1

I need a 43 inch TV with an okay input lag (10ms at most, 8ms would be good). I obviously wouldn't mind getting a monitor with a much better response time but I don't think I could get a 43 inch one for any less than 800 bucks. My only problem is that despite the hundreds of reviews in rtings, it seems like not one of the recommended TVs are for sale in europe... if anyone had any knowledge of a decent buy I'd be very grateful. Trying to get it for maybe 350 euros at most, I've found a couple but none of them have info about their input lag available or their native resolution is 50hz so it's been very annoying

>>108233013
you need a solder sucker or something to remove the solder after it is hot. there are basic manual vacuum plunger type units that would probably work. most of what i've seen on re-cap work, the technician has a variable power soldering iron. a basic iron could work, however it would likely struggle holding the proper temperature, or be too cold. good luck, anon.

>>108233013
before replacing caps you will need to discharge them first, get discharging pen

>>108233013
>i have a simple soldering iron, do i need something else to repair or replace components on a motherboard?
Yes. Maybe. Better to ask the specialists in the "/ohm/ - Electronics General" thread over in >>>/diy/, the thread is currently at >>2975961

Basically a "simple" soldering iron isn't going to have enough power to do serious disassembly and component level repair, if the component you are trying to remove or install is attached to a large ground plane on the motherboard it will wick away the heat of the iron too quickly and give you troubles.

Not sure if this is on topic for /pcbg/ or not, I mean, people used to literally build PCs from discrete components and some weirdos still do it for keks.

Lots of autism in this thread about Noctua silicone fan mounts.

>>108229111
Maybe I've mentioned this before, but those colors that they ship are shit.
It's like 'kindergarten colors', primary red, blue, yellow.

The black & white are fine, but I bet no one uses the others. Maybe occasionally the red ones?

Change the royal blue to cyan, 'green' to #CCFF00, make the yellow neon pink or purple.
But as they are... not really useful.

Personally I buy the tan/brown ones, but I've done builds for family members & friends where I use the black versions.
At delivery, I'll put all of the little extras in a Plano "tacklebox" organizer. The clear, flip top case type. And usually the comment, when seeing the sheer number of those dorky-colored tabs, is "I'm just going to throw these away, I know I'll never use them."

Do I need to order extra parts to install a refurbished 3080ti radiator to the top of my tower?

I mentioned a few threads back that my aunt is in Mossad and she has contacts in Intel, and she gave me that processor for free as a gift!! :D!!
>Why a 5060 Ti?
I was going to get a 5070 but i felt that having more Vram was more important, so i went ahead and got a 5060 ti instead (and it was withing my budget) :3
>What are you planning to do with that computer?
Gaming of course!

I would not buy a miniled without a shit ton of dimming zones, I would take an oled at that price

get a z890 motherboard, tweak the cpu, overclock the memory, don't overvolt anything, I'm sure if you tweak it right that cpu gains a ton of performance for free

saved it. gonna use for "could be worse" posts.

>>108233846
oh any z890 motherboards? or one from a specific brand?
>>108233854
It performs really well though! Sims 4 isn't laggy at all :3, and unlike my old laptop, it stays cool and the fans are quiet!

This frog seems so innocent...
Go ahead, take my upvote

XFX Mercury or Sapphire Nitro+ 9070xt?

>>108233866
>motherboards
asus or msi usually the best

>>108233914
xfx makes the best 9070s, but the sapphire is good too

>>108233778
It's a capable machine nonny. More than the bare minimum ram, good all-rounder productivity cpu that can still get hundreds of fps in games, gpu will max most games with dlss/fsr, reasonable amount of storage. Unfortunately you didn't buy the pcbg approved brand war hardware though.

>>108233914
I jsut wouldn't.
Get a 5070Ti or something.
Unless AMD announces something to match DLSS 4.5 it's just not a good buy.

>>108233914
the merc probably - the 16pin on the nitro+ is so gay.

not really, caps are the easiest component to remove. i'd just get some solder wick to suck up the solder when you remove them.

Which component should I upgrade first?
>core 2 quad q9650
>4gb ddr2-800
>gtx 560 Ti BOOST
>256gb ADATA sata ssd
>1tb Seagate Barracuda
My budget is $150

>>108233991
4 more gbs of ddr2 ram
