MarcusSA posted:Way overpriced. Like at that point just get the 4090 you are way deep into it anyway Nope. Not the point. The point is unless you’re playing 4k, you should be looking for a 3080 or 3090Ti if the price shakes correctly. And potentially the new AMD cards once we get proper benchmarks, which in all honestly based on their pricing tiers will be the most competitive they’ve been in many many years. Even at 4k the value is questionable. Price/performance only really works out as good value within the same generation. New gen should typically be higher performance at a similar price point to previous gen. This is why the 2000 series cards were seen as mostly bullshit. Much much higher pricing for average generational performance gains. The 4080 FE doesn’t cost $500 more to produce than the 3080 FE did at launch. It’s pure greed on nvidias part, trying to reset pricing expectations to what they were at peak pandemic and supply/shipping constraint levels Bouchehog posted:Save that for me gaming at 1440p, what is the point in having that extra horsepower?

Ditto RT - the 4080 looks to play all of the current games at 1440p ultra RT without issue. See above. IMO at 1440p 3080/3090Ti should be your target if you’re not gonna wait for AMD’s benchmarks or if raytracing is important to you. Which card depends entirely on pricing and what kind of deal you can snag. Keep in mind the 3000 series cards are excellent at ray tracing, but we just don’t know yet how AMD will compare. They could be at par with 3000 series, with better raster, at a similar price.

Can I use my GPU in the second PCI slot? The PCIe 1 slot is too close to the CPU to fit with my cooler. Trying to figure out if I can just move it or need to get another cooling solution. If I can move it: will slot 2 give the full 16x if PCIe1 is empty, or will it be throttled to 8x no matter what? Talking about an ASRock B550 Pro4.

Trying to figure out if I can just move it or need to get another cooling solution. If you have a PCIe 3.0 card it functionally won’t matter, although technically the second slot is slower even at the same speed due to the extra distance. If you have a 4.0 card and wanna spend money you could get a riser cable. Or consider rotating your CPU cooler. Pilfered Pallbearers fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Nov 15, 2022 |

Got my bequiet! 500DX in today (loving finally, thanks UPS) and man, getting that front panel off to do fan stuff or clean the filter is gonna be spicy. Takes a lot more force than I would have expected to pop that panel off. Edit: A few cycles of popping and replacing to try it out and one last one to change the fan layout and it seems fine. Guess it just needed to wear the clip edges a bit. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Nov 16, 2022 |

I dont have a specific reason, just wanted the 'potential' to have the pretty things turned on the 7900XTX seems to be capable of raytracing performance somewhere around the 3090/3090 Ti, at least based on AMD's marketing figures, while being far better in raster. that's at least decent enough unless you're fine with shelling out for a 4090. the 7900XT seems pretty poorly positioned (~80-85% of the performance for 90% of the cost) though if they cut the price on the 4070 Ti from the previously announced $899 then it'll look a bit better - should have similar performance all-around to the 3090/3090Ti so there's at least possibly some value there, but then it really depends on what the 7800XT (or XTX who knows) compares and there's still room for AMD to continue pricing things much more aggressively than Nvidia

For now, Nvidia is riding off the back of the 4080 and 4090 having higher performance than anything else on the market, and things are going to get weird once they start releasing GPUs that have previous-gen equivalents. It really sucks that AMD couldn't do better on pricing. The 7900 XT and XTX situation honestly looks pretty similar to the 4080 16GB/12GB situation, but people are giving AMD a free pass because it's not as egregiously awful as what Nvidia did. The 7900 XT is still looking like a bad value though, and I don't think it's going to apply enough pressure at that price point to make Nvidia do any better than, say, $800 for the 4070 Ti (previously the 4080 12GB). I wish AMD would've removed another MCD and 4GB of VRAM from the 7900 XT (256-bit 16GB), kept the same GCD, and called it the 7800 XT while pricing it at $700 or $750. But they're reserving that name and price point for an even cheaper Navi 32-based GPU, I guess. ...Intel, please save us? (lol)

Oh, boy, it's time again to dip my toes into the sea of madness that is custom-built PCs! I haven't done this since my MSI GTX 1070 was hot poo poo. In short, I have been given an unspecified, generous-but-not-unlimited budget with which I want to build multiple computers for different scientific purposes. Thank you in advance for putting up with me on this. Edit: I am willing to adjust almost every single aspect of these builds, if other options are cooler, better cost/performance, easier to build in, more reliable, etc. This is absolutely a pair of first drafts rather than a near-finished idea.

As I wrote above, the more cores I have, the happier I will be. It does not seem possible or reasonable to seek out a multi-CPU motherboard for use in my office. Under the assumption that I am indeed limited to a single CPU for this machine, how am I doing on cost/performance? PC Part Picker had the Ryzen CPUs showing up at 2-10x the price over Intel’s offerings for reasons unclear. 2. Reeeeeaaaallllly don’t need a lot of video card here. Could perhaps even skip the thing altogether if Intel’s iGPU is sufficient to drive a monitor. Is it worth putting the $270 towards more monitor? 3. On the topic of monitors, I didn’t pick one. While I’d like one of the fancy ultra-wide aspect ratio monitors, those seem to ring up at $1000+ and eat into the budget I would have spent on the VR box below. Ideally I’d like one big monitor or multiple smaller ones. What recommendations do you all have? 4. Are the case and PSU reasonable? A review on PCPP suggests I don’t need additional fans for this case, but a second opinion is always welcome. Likewise, the Corsair reviews well on PCPP but I don’t know how much of that is reputation vs actual build quality. PORTABLE VIRTUAL REALITY BOX

Is the CPU reasonable? I don’t intend to overclock, and I’m quite okay with going last-gen on everything: it should be a touch cheaper and still capable of what I need. 2. Is there a better, smaller, case than the Node 202? Seems weird to again be considering that case six or seven years later, but I don’t see anything obvious on PC Part Picker. 3. The 202 claims to have a CPU cooler clearance of 56 mm, and that cooler is just 37 mm. That’s a suspicious amount of vertical clearance given my experience building in my RVZ02. Is there a better (quieter, more efficient, whatever) cooler out there? 4. Graphics cards sure haven’t gone down in price since my 1070 was new. I’m not wedded to Nvidia, I just default to them out of habit. Is this the most performant card for the most reasonable price? 5. Given that this is a small form factor, cooling is obviously something to worry about. Are there options with less thermal dissipation than what I chose?

In short, I have been given an unspecified, generous-but-not-unlimited budget with which I want to build multiple computers for different scientific purposes. Thank you in advance for putting up with me on this. I'm not going to touch on computer 1 much since I barely know what cluster computing even is, but I will say that the Intel iGPU is perfectly fine for a basic display out if you have zero need for graphics acceleration, and also you really want a more powerful cooler for a 13900K. I do know a little bit about small-form factor computers and VR, though. This will really depend on the kinds of VR applications you're doing, but if you need high-performance graphics, then I'd consider at least a 3060 Ti. I'm not sure what the prices will be like through your university purchasing system, but most 3060s on Newegg are less than $400 and the 3060 Ti is at around $400 - $450 depending on where you get it from. The space you have available to fit the PC also isn't really clear. There are around three popular SFF form factors when it comes to dGPU-compatible gaming(/VR) systems. The first is the traditional mITX micro-tower like the CoolerMaster NR200 (11.50" x 7.28" x 14.80" HxWxD). The GPU slots directly into the motherboard and you end up with some amount of underutilized space inside the chassis They tend to be a little thick and deep, but short. The second is the "sandwhich-style" that uses a riser cable to position the GPU behind the motherboard. The shape depends on the orientation of the GPU, but these tend to be a little bit narrower than cases like the NR200. The Meshlicious can fit three-slot GPUs and is 6.5" wide (14.17" x 6.55" x 9.65" HxWxD). The last is a super slim layout which positions the GPU next to the motherboard somewhere. The Node 202 you selected is this type of design, but it doesn't permit more than 2 slots of GPU thickness which can be a problem with modern GPUs. I think the Node 202 is probably fine for your purposes if you stick to 2-slot 3060-type cards. This style of case has largely fallen out of favor since people have really started to gravitate toward the likes of the Meshlicious or NR200 instead for their wider GPU compatibility. I saw some positive reviews for another slim-style SFF case a year ago called the "N-ATX" from "SFF Time" which had full ATX and quad-slot GPU compatibility, but it seems that it never materialized, and it would've been an expensive low-volume production run anyway. I'm not sure what else is available out there in this style, to be honest. Also, I'm not really seeing the need for a 980 Pro here. You can likely save some money by getting a cheaper Gen 3 NVMe drive (even though I know that money saving isn't the top priority here)

Is the 3060 not already a huge step up from a 1070, which performance I am already familiar with? Is the 3060 Ti that much of a step from the 3060?) For what it’s worth, I have a suitcase that *just barely* fits my RVZ02, bought specifically because the suitcase both (1) fits into airplane overhead bins, and (2) holds the RVZ02. Ideally, computer #2 would fit into that case—which is why I went with the 202.

maybe dumb question, but would you ever replace a PSU just due to its age out of safety? I'm upgrading my GTX 1080 to an RTX 3080 Ti that says it needs 750W, and my PSU is this 850W 80+ Gold model so it looks like it should be fine on paper, but it's also been running regularly for 5+ years. I don't know of any particular reason to be worried other than its age but wanted to make sure.

Maxsun RTX 3080 10GB for $699 with a $175 Newegg gift card included: https://www.newegg.com/maxsun-geforce-rtx-3080/p/1FT-009J-000B8?quicklink=true For once, it's someone other than Yeston doing these gift card promos. This one strikes me as pretty decent if you can use the card. No waifu emblazoned on the backplate, no embedded perfume chamber, plus a triple-slot design that might be able to cool the GPU better than the Yeston cards. Especially as 3080 stock is starting to dry up suspiciously close to the 4080's launch (I sense some shenanigans there considering every other GPU has good availability). So if you don't want to buy used, I think this is a pretty good deal at an effective $525. edit: If you filter out third-party sellers (which also filters out manufacturers selling direct, like maxsun), then Newegg is selling just two 3080 models; a 10GB for $780 and a 12GB for $845. Meanwhile, they have 12 3070 models available, not counting the Ti. So yeah, shenanigans.

Been thinking of upgrading my cpu from the 3700x. I have an x570 mobo. Is something in the 5000 series a big enough upgrade to be worth it or should I just eventually consider getting both new mobo and cpu later on at this point? Mostly just for gaming.

The 5800X3D is still one of the best gaming CPUs on the market. It can go toe to toe with the top CPUs released in the last month. As for whether it's worth upgrading, that depends on the GPU and resolution you're using. I wouldn't bother unless you're using a 3080 or better at 1440p (or lower) and are looking for high frame rates. Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Nov 17, 2022 |

Have you heard the Good Word about the 5800X3D? I think they have their own church and missionaries now. e:f,b

So, in the market for a new mobo/ram/cpu combo, PSU and probably a case to go with it; what's a good bang for buck right now? I'm looking to do some current gen gaming @ 1080p, 1440p if I can swing it at some point, but I'm running a 2080super and cannot afford to upgrade GPUs right now; I'd like to start with 32GB RAM with opportunity to upgrade to 64GB because I use my PC as a hyper-v host for testing stuff. I guess I might need a new cooler too, debating going with an AIO. Size of case doesn't matter, I typically go full tower so I can have plenty of room to work with and so I can stuff a bunch of storage in there. Current PC is uhh very old, the processor is https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/63697/intel-core-i73930k-processor-12m-cache-up-to-3-80-ghz/specifications.html and it's definitely showing its' age.

A B550 motherboard, Ryzen 5600 and whatever decent 3200mhz RAM you can find for a good price. Last gen Ryzen stuff is on full fire sale in a lot of places so they're dirt loving cheap. That'll sort you for a while even if you do upgrade to a 1440p monitor.
