>>108638321
Try amazon or something. Get aluminum mesh for wet washable (more expensive than nylon) Just search for "dust filter 120x120" or whatever size you need. Compare fineness of mesh: details often mention aperture.

Do I have the "Passive Cooling eXtreme" or "Liquid Cooling eXtreme" variant of a pre-built PC? I mean, is it the latter version worth it?

>>108638375
I got one but it's a pain in the ass to have to disassemble the whole thing every few weeks cause of all the linen I've got flying around so I'd rather just clean filters once a week.

At this rate it feels like Nvidia's """development assistance""" is all about making the games look and run like utter shit on anything that's not their newest and greatest.

Keep in mind that path tracing is so demanding that you need like a 4090/5080 to have a decent experience on modern screens, so by making ray tracing look like dogshit on purpose you're neatly shitting on anyone owning 30 series GPU's or anyone owning lower end 40/50 series GPU's.

>>108639689
>Raster: lack of any and all traditional raster lighting techniques to make the game look dogshit on purpose
>RT: only adding ambient occlusion to the raster so it still looks like shit, but the AO is more performance tanking while doing nothing for the graphics
>PT: the actual intended implementation where Raster and RT were left in half-baked to create a false sense of path tracing being better than it actually is
You cannot convince me otherwise that this is what they did with RE9.

Capcom have gone full retard balls deep in on path tracing. It's amazing how shit they've made ray tracing look, let alone rasterization which is worse than PS2 levels now since they don't bother doing any lighting curation for it at all.

Pragmata was supposed to be an RE Engine showcase title, but it got delayed too long.
It was probably targeting RTX 30 & RX 6000 hardware with 0 path tracing.

>>108641638

I boughted a Dell G2724D in like Nov 2024 and didn't turn on HDR and G-Sync until like a year later. Been noticing backlight (?) flickering when framerate drops below about 80 fps and sometimes certain low-motion regions (UI and stuff) will have like a faded afterimage until the full screen refreshes with fast motion or something??
Would it be worth buying something like >KTC M27T6 or will I really have to spend closer to >ASUS XG27AQWMG

Try RMAing the G2724D, Dell supposedly have good monitor customer service.
Resell the replacement/refurbished unit if you're dead set on an upgrade.

Not worth the premium.
I'd buy a discounted WOLED or QD-OLED during Memorial Day sales if you're in the US over the XG27AQWMG.
You missed the spring sales, there were some decent OLED monitor deals.

>KTC M27T6
This is a hate it or love it option. Someone who bought this monitor is hoping for a firmware update for more accurate HDR (it won't happen).

another reason to skip zen 6: right now in the server/ai space we're getting high capacity high speed DDR5/LPDDR5 in SOCAMM format for those nvidia servers, those technologies will very likely trickle down to zen 7 (2029) and become very cheap by 2031 when the industry moves to ddr6

>>108643265
yes. IPS is shit by modern standards. it was an upgrade over TN back in the day but has been surpassed by VA and OLED. VA and mini LED complement each other because VA already has great native contrast which can be further enhanced with local dimming to provide a somewhat competitive experience with OLED but IPS has extremely limited contrast at like 1200:1 at best which no amount of local dimming can save.

4k is mostly a meme. I also prefer the colors on my old 1080 TN to this IPS. darks are too dark, brights are too bright. adjusting brightness in games makes everything look like washed out dogshit and makes the bright areas blindingly bright instead of just bright.

Why is it that RTX are shilled for their ray tracing capabilities when the real reason anyone buys it is because of DLSS

shoulda bought the 9070 xt, at least you can have fun messing around with linux and being a nerd

I'm thinking on switching from 9070XT to a 5080 even if the 5080 is double the price in my country, because I want more raster and can't afford a 4090/5090, and I want PathTracing and DLSS, call me a faggot so I won't waste money with this stupid idea

>>108646266
>I want PathTracing and DLSS
I have a 5080 and the best i can do on cyberpunk with pathtracing is ultra performance with 2x frame gen. It looks like shit.

>>108646266
You would get the path tracing and dlss from a 70ti, raster you're not getting much until you jump to a 5090.

>>108646266
You could honestly just go for a 5060Ti.
You'd get the same performance as the 9070XT with DLSS, and it'd look better.

>>108646286
Considering that I am ultra blind to the point I barely see a difference between native 1080p and 1080p DLSS3 balanced, I guess I can manage playing with PathTracing + 1080p DLSS4.5 balance + FG4X.

For some reason I can spot fps difference in image motion like a normal person, but I can't see a single difference in image quality when using upscalling at 1080p and beyond, maybe my glasses don't work for shit.

I just hope that it'll be like lossless scaling and I can just set how many frames I want and the fake frames fill the space instead of it being a stupid multiplier

>>108639533
Most of these comparisons are made with games that have absolutely terrible baked in lighting.
I still don't understand why these devs can't use raytracing to predetermine lighting and shadows rather than doing it in realtime.

>>108646370
If there's a insistence in using multipliers, I don't know why AMD and Nvidia don't create a 1.5X multiplier then, not always I need 2x fake frames

My guess would be around 2k. Every card but the 90 class cards aren't too bad. Still have to pay the nvidia tax though.

I don't think nvidia wants their cards spoiled by price increases. Remember the 5090 is still technically 2,000 dollars.

I just spent $600 on 2x LG IPS ultra gear panels. 1440p, no issues. I don't intend to upgrade my monitors until they're WAY better than they are now, if that day ever comes. I'm honestly tempted to buy a 3rd monitor of what I have already just to keep in storage as backup because with every hobby and field right now, it seems everything is just getting worse as time goes on.

>>108646791
Either wait for zen6 or get what you can now and upgrade to zen6 when it arrives.

9850x3d is better, but whatever zen6 has will also be better. I'm guessing the leap from 9850x3d to zen6 will be greater than the leap from 7800x3d to 9850x3d.

I've been waiting long enough and honestly, I don't see RAM prices or anything coming down in price any time soon. Federal and local governments are all but sucking their own dicks when it comes to AI and data centers. I don't want to wait and find out I'm going to be spending $1200 for what I could have had for $750 2 years ago. Plus, I'm coming from Intel 8th gen. I need the upgrade like yesterday. I'm officially reaching the point where new games don't run how I want them and I can't even just upgrade my GPU only because my CPU would hold it back severely

I use it in HDR which why I can get my eyes destroyed with up to 1600 nits. As long as local dimming is on this can happen

This technology seems like its for televisions not monitors close to your face

Literally broken, the screen is supposed to provide as much brightness as the signal going into it demands and your OS should not demand fucking 1600 nits when reverse tonemapping SDR content (a website) into HDR. I don't know what you're using but I've had HDR screens for years and I've used W10, W11 and various Linux flavors (with KDE) and not a single time has this happened, it shouldn't do that. The only time I've ever seen any of the monitors I've used actually run the backlight at full brightness is during the calibration wizard in W11 or in the calibration screens of certain games. That's it.

If you're getting 1600 nits viewing a white website then something is very broken, I don't know whether the software on the PC side or your monitor's firmware somehow.

If your desk can accommodate an LCD (for work, browsing) + OLED (entertainment), this has been the best set up for a while.
If you don't want to deal with burn in, just buy an IPS or VA depending on how much you value contrast vs. motion clarity.
If you're actually good at competitive shooters, TN is also an option if you don't want OLED.
Buy miniLED if you want to try out HDR and if you don't want to deal with burn in. But this is a hate it or love it purchase.

Purchase displays from a store with good/great return policy.
You don't know whether these displays could cause eye fatigue and other issues unless you've used them for a while.

TN are literally the fastest panels, IPS is slower than TN. I guess if your TN is super ancient then modern IPS might be better, but TN panels are the OG gaming panels because of the response time.

>>108647160
You're going to be better off with a higher quality screen with a better image (higher DPI) and making up the perf difference with more DLSS. Even DLSS Performance (1080p on a 2160p screen) is usable on a high res screen. On low res screens you can't use it as aggressively because the rendering resolution drops too low and on top of that the screen has a worse image so the image just turns into mush.

Keep in mind that at 1440p even DLSS Quality is like 960p, DLSS Performance on a 4k screen will get you superior image quality to that and if you want to run 1440p native then you can just use DLSS Quality on the 4k monitor instead. I don't think there's much reason nowadays to get a low res monitor, you'll suffer more from the low DPI and if you end up using DLSS at all it's going to be worse than the 4k screen for sure.

>>108647254
>I suspect it's a firmware/panel issue.
Yeah could be, need to look up a decent review to see if the screen does proper brightness tracking in HDR. Also these screens sometimes get firmware updates to fix broken shit, might be worth checking if something is available for your model.

12 GB of vram sucks for 4k. I tried on my TV, sometimes it actually runs below 15 fps, and sometimes it just doesn't run. Even on ultra performance mode

>>108647434
Oh, I was misremembering that the 4070 Super had 16GB VRAM. Yeah 12GB is going to be kinda tight, I still use a 3080 Ti on another PC and it's certainly tight.

>>108647434
That sounds like you have something else eating up vram, or another issue entirely. As of right now there's not even that many games that actually need more than 12gb even at 4k. It's mostly high end rt + mfg + native/dlss-quality that goes over.

And I'm sure that this schmuck will do his job and review it instead of getting a stick up his ass because "Jensen is a war monger working with Palantir and Peter Thiel was on Epstein's island and I totally have to report on this because it's gayming related somehow please treat me seriously".

Seriously, the worst thing about AI is that it practically killed any meaningful hardware news/review outlets. GN is the worst fucking offender of all. Thanks Steve!

I might just say fuck it and buy the BQ! Dark Rock Pro elite. It's $90 vs the $37-ish of the Thermalright, but I don't want to be dealing with bullshit fan bearings. I don't mind fan noise with normal operation. I can't stand fan bearing rattle though. What's $90 for a cooler I intend to keep for 7+ years?

>real world performance
depends on what your specific real world performance is. Gaming? Minimal because the 2nd 3D memory cache is on the 2nd die in the CPU. Games don't really utilize all 8c16t as is let alone crossing over a CCX to utilize a secondary 8c16t node on the same CPU die. For professional uses like rendering and what not, it really depends on the software. Some love the 3D cache, others don't give a shit and actually favor Intel depending on settings. If you already have the 9800X3D, not worth the upgrade for gaming imo. If you're just buying a new system now and can afford it, by all means get the 9950X3D2. It's essentially 2x 9800X3D's on the same CPU die.

>buy 5 arctic p12 pro fans
>2 months later and 4 of them sound like the bearing is about to explode
>replace with another 5 pack
>a week in and one fan is already making faulty noise
This sucks I've only been using them at around 1000rpm so why the hell do they keep breaking apart, what a fucking joke.

>the worst thing about AI is that it practically killed any meaningful hardware news/review outlets
To be fair when there is no new hardware released how do you expect much reviews?
Even if they wanted to do reviews the drooling population of gaymers have diluted the market so much you can only do so many reviews of coolers, cases, motherboards, PSUs, etc that your just copying and pasting articles with a little variance to the numbers.
Any niche shit won't get clicks because that same audience won't even click out of curiosity for something different, at most they'll comment on how it shouldn't exist.

>>108647787
there's a reason the 5 pack only costs what, like $30? I know it seems like a meme, but I purchased Noctua 120mm fans like 6 years ago for $27 each. They haven't made a single noise and they flucuate from 800rpm to 1500rpm. Be quiet! also makes really good fans that aren't vomit colored. Thankfully my case has no window or LEDs so I never see the noctua shit anyways.

>>108647787
Pure Wings 3 is probably the bare minimum you should get if you want decent case fans.

>>108647787
they make a weird raspy noise at a certain rpm iirc

>>108647798
>no new hardware released
That's what Steve loves to tell people to justify why he pivoted the main channel completely to political commentary when he had no reason to do so. Besides the >$1mil he got in donations out of grifting that angle to hell and back. He promised reviewing the FLP02 like five months ago, no signs of that coming.

I can't wait to see how Steve will struggle to stay relevant after he sold his entire audience for that short term AI hate rage click money. So much for mr. "independent journalist with journalistic integrity", turns out every single one of them is scum. Or Wendell after he decided to be Nvidia's mouthpiece for AI and selling his audience of home server enthusiasts that are unable to afford any of the shit Supermicro sends him for free.

>>108647842
>Or Wendell after he decided to be Nvidia's mouthpiece for AI
I think he just really likes AI. Like genuinely. I thinks AI would be cool if it wasn't being developed to do the worst crimes imaginable or it wasn't some Ponzi scheme to scam investors.

>>108647770
Probably 60% of what I do is gaming however I have started to fuck around with various AI models. Mostly because I volunteered to help my company do some trial runs on file organization (Setting up a RAG). Im wafering because if I sell my 9800x3d I can get the enough of the 9950x3d2 that itll be worth it. im just lazy and don't feel like replacing and selling the 9800x3d for only 3-6% if thats the case.

>Asus X870E Pro Art motherboard
>Asus Pro Art branded 360mm liquid cooler (alphacool fans and overall rebranded alphacool unit)
>Asus Pro Art RTX 5080 OC
Microcenter is selling all this as a bundle for $1600. Any reason not to get this bundle? I was going to get the new 9950X3D2. I already have a 2x48GB kit of 6000MHz memory I got on "sale" for ONLY $750 (normally $1200).

need a motherboard with 2 gen 5 pcie slots.

>>108647922
if I'm not mistaken, most AI shit cares about GPU more than anything. You'd be better off getting a secondary GPU in that price bracket. Nvidia GPU with 16GB+ VRAM is recommended for local models. Apparently used RTX 3090's are really popular.

How do you propose generating half a frame?

His latest video about the "AI hype" just showed that he's being manipulated by Nvidia/Supermicro into being their mouthpiece. Supermicro funded his trip to GDC, he talked to people there who won't ever say the truth that "yeah a lot of it is really wasteful and underutilized because we're in a bubble" because they're liable to shareholders to not put doubt into the bubble. Wendell also cannot say that this is a bubble, because Supermicro and Nvidia won't like that so bye bye free trips to GDC and free hardware.

So he had to make a really asinine stance by equalling it to "luddite panic" and "genuine concern" as the only two sides of the argument, kept talking about "AI hype" and never talking about "AI bubble", as well as peddling marketing terms like "AI factory" and "it's all producing the same exact tokens" which are just made up terms for "datacenters" and "same hardware running various workloads" that the AI companies made up to make it seem like a completely new paradigm in computing to investors.

Basically Wendell reeks of "I need to dance like they tell me to even if it betrays my own beliefs and those of my audience" and it's fucking nauseating to listen to. He'd be better if he just shut the fuck up and stick to worked best instead of doing this shit, but alas, everything that's good must come down.

Wendell sold out to being Nvidia's/Supermicro's mouthpiece and Steve sold out to the rabid anti-AI crowd, both losing a lot of credibility in the process. Shame.

AI use for the betterment of humanity? Space travel calculations, nuclear physics break throughs, cancer treatment digital protein folding algorithms? No no no, don't be silly. We need more AI slop videos and video game assets. We NEED soulless AI "art". We also need terrible AI "helpers" to replace all the office wagies

>Minimal because the 2nd 3D memory cache is on the 2nd die in the CPU
Probably, but it's kind of interesting. Obviously the extra cache being on the other CCD is worse than having it all together but I wonder whether there will be some scenarios where having game threads separated across CCDs to get more cache as opposed to all on 1 CCD but with more cache pressure and as such more actual memory reads (which are extremely slow).

>>108648102
Does PT really make that much of a difference? This looks amazing.

>>108648102
interesting that you used the only good looking screenshot and not any of the ones where it looks like the fucking sun is turned off despite it being daytime

>>108648180
Yes. It can if the devs give a shit.

idk, to me it sounds like he's either really gullible and tone deaf, or that he's doing the whole "appease our narrative so that you get freebies from us in the future" humiliation ritual.

Whatever it is, he didn't have to do it and is only ruining his reputation. Fucking downplaying Midgley of all things, what the fuck is he on?

>>108648208
>it sounds like he's either really gullible
That's Wendell. He's still believes in humanity. That's all you need to know.

>>108648220
I guess. So gullible and optimistic he refuses to acknowledge the dirty side of the AI market. Which is also probably why he believes Midgley did nothing wrong. Too gullible to acknowledge the existence of evil. I both pity and envy his naivete.
