Is there a way to compare SSD health? I have to reinstall windows on a desktop, and it has 2 ssd's of equivalent size. I'm thinking it might be better to install windows the drive that didn't have it until now, on the assumption that the drive that has had windows installed on it will have had to endure more "wear and tear", but I can't be sure. (both drives will be reformatted regardless for a clean restart)

BurritoJustice posted:What other type of testing is there for upscaling? There is no objective measure you can use for upscaled image quality. Let’s actually link to the video you pulled that chart from, shall we? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WM_w7TBbj0 So to the benefit of those who aren’t BurritoJustice, they basically say that at 4K Quality, the difference between FSR 2 and DLSS 2 (at the time the video was produced) was not significant enough to get fussed over; if you an nvidia card already of course use DLSS, if you have are looking at cards and want to play in 4K, then it’ll depend on what type of games you play, because rasterization-heavy gaming with occasional FSR use wouldn’t probably justify going nvidia over AMD if you can get an otherwise faster or equal card or one with more VRAM, for same or lower pricing. I would also say that’s usually now XeSS would be the superior option to FSR, but even AMD cards can benefit from it over FSR in games since Intel doesn’t completely lock out competing cards. I’m also probably one of the few posters here who actually has both AMD and Nvidia cards and using both; I’ll always prefer DLSS but FSR is fine if someone doesn’t need it all the time in 4K. If someone watched the above video the chart is pulled from and was interested in 4K Quality mode, “falling apart” is not the description I’d probably take away from it unless I’m inherently biased (to the negative of the thread). BurritoJustice posted:FSR2 is literally the worst modern TAAU solution, if it doesn't justify that language then nothing else does. Again, share some of the most recent comparisons for why even XeSS is better in many games now (it is), because I don’t disagree that it’s the least performant. But again, can an AMD card meet the needs of someone on a budget or who wants to get into higher resolution gaming but can’t afford a 4070 Ti or higher, given 4K high-refresh panels are so cheap now, and especially since XeSS is an available option also. Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:FSR2 absolutely falls apart when upscaling from very low internal resolutions. 100% agree, but upscaling from say 1440p to 4K isn’t that.

So I need to hammer down a PSU for my build (parts list at the end). At this point I'm kicking between a 750w PSU or 850w for slightly more. From what I can tell the 100w difference there is the difference between running 4080 vs 4090 on current power draws would it make some sense to get the extra headroom should things trend more towards 4090 style cards in the future? I know predicting the future is impossible.

But aren't there a lot of games where you need FSR/DLSS at 4k to get good framerates? Which AMD cards do you anticipate only needing to use FSR "sometimes"? I feel like people recommend AMD for the more budget end of cards and those must surely need to rely on FSR here right?

I feel like people recommend AMD for the more budget end of cards and those must surely need to rely on FSR here right? Personally, there are some games I play where to get a good 4K experience, I absolutely need DLSS given the settings I want to use, etc., especially for high frame rate gaming. But if I don’t care about RT in a game for whatever reason, and just want a smooth experience with VRR helping, there are plenty of games that I can easily hit 60+ FPS in 4K without DLSS or FSR. Most aren’t recent AAA titles, but I don’t care. Just as one example, at 4K and most settings high/maxed out, I was getting 60+ fps on both my old 3080 and my 6900 XT in D4 (but without the high resolution textures add-on); with DLSS, the 3080 was probably around 10% faster than the 6900 XT as I tried to crank it up to closer to 165 fps. The game was smoother, but I could have happily played at 60-70 fps without DLSS or FSR. Now granted, D4 doesn’t have RT, but it’s apparently coming next month, though I’m skeptical on how much improvement it can make given Blizzard’s history of add-on improvements.

The point was just that someone said "if you don't care about RT, AMD is the same" but if you're buying a GPU and always turning on upscaling you're getting lower picture quality at the same performance level with AMD.

And there's this follow-up chart where DLSS totally dominates, and a firm re-positioning that the language of "falls apart" is justified. So what is the stark difference? Like let's say DLSS whatever version is ~95% as good as native 4K — what would FSR's percentage be? And given that difference, would that overcome the rasterization & VRAM value that AMD provides that even gets one's foot in the door of 4K? BurritoJustice posted:The original poster was, in fact, someone who was going to need it all the time in 4K. OP's proposed build was a 7800XT paired with a 7800X3D — from what i can tell from benchmarks, they can get 4K @ 60FPS natively from a bunch of the newest titles. I'm not trying to be snarky, as I'm genuinely curious for peoples' take. I'm still thriving off of my 1070 card while having upgraded everything else, and had always thought 4K to be too extravagant.

Zoya posted:he's extremely pleased that you like his case intel cpus run hotter and suck down more power to do it for the same or worse performance right now. The x3d chips also feature more CPU cache which can be helpful in some (map/sim/old man) games. In addition at least on the previous am4 platform AMD managed to release multiple generations of cpu so that even now a drop in cpu upgrade is available that could increase your performance and platform life. AM5 (the current platform for the 7000 series cpus) is still kinda questionable on how many generations they'll put into the board but the chance is there while Intel is on a one and done chip/mobo release cycle right now. It's very likely they'll be buying a 1440p AND >60hz monitor if they do upgrade (they dont seem like they wanna play games at 300fps where easier to render 1080p would be more stable) so like both of those metrics will probably go up. Even with a 2070 all of those games will probably run great or at least much better in whatever indie shovelware you throw at it.

And given that difference, would that overcome the rasterization & VRAM value that AMD provides that even gets one's foot in the door of 4K? Sorry, I honestly misremembered the wording of my original post (thought I said "doesn't fall apart like lower resolutions"). FSR really does really "fall apart" at lower resolutions, but at 4K it is less drastic. I meant to emphasise that while it's only really bad at lower resolution, there is still a noticeable visual difference at 4K. I think "stark" is fine wording for "in half the games tested, FSR looked noticeably worse". It's not really easy to quantify the value added by DLSS, because it does vary how often you're going to be using it. There isn't a large performance difference between the same modes of DLSS and FSR, the benefit is that you can use DLSS in situations where you'd prefer running native if you only have FSR or you can run a lower preset of DLSS and get similar visual quality to a higher preset of FSR. Tim from HWUB did a follow up video, where he added native into the comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5B_dqi_Syc&t=1022s If you look at the summary, it's really a two horse race. In a lot of cases at 4K, DLSS was providing equal or better quality than native while FSR was never the best image quality.  To answer the question of "how much do you value it", it doesn't mean you never buy AMD GPUs anymore, it just is still a very relevant feature even for people who don't care about raytracing. If in a lot of cases you're using DLSS quality on Nvidia and Native 4K on AMD, that's a huge performance benefit. If you're using it on both, you will still often see a noticeable quality difference. HWUB themselves have said in the past that they consider Nvidia GPUs to be equal value to AMD GPUs if the price/perf is 10-15% higher to account for the value add of Nvidia features. quote:OP's proposed build was a 7800XT paired with a 7800X3D — from what i can tell from benchmarks, they can get 4K @ 60FPS natively from a bunch of the newest titles. It can't get 4K60 natively in everything, and if it is hitting 60 on games right now then it isn't going to be maintaining that for long. 60Hz isn't the target these days, everyone has high refresh monitors and you'll get a noticeably improved experience from sending more frames to your panel. I think people who use 4K without regular use of upscaling, even among high end GPU owners, are in the minority. E: Canned Sunshine did raise a good point about XeSS, the newest 1.2 versions are quite a bit better than FSR. While not competitive with DLSS, it does close the gap if a game is implementing all three. Hopefully the new DirectSR thing is an API that means that all games will be able to natively support all three easily. BurritoJustice fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Feb 27, 2024 |

So that not everyone has to click through the link to the video. That graphic is showing Hardware Unboxed's judgements between the image quality of DLSS Performance, Quality, and Native resolution are. Also, for quick reference, here's the resolutions that 4K up-samples from at the various levels. Quality: 2560x1440p Balance: 2227x1253p Performance: 1920x1080p Ultra Perf: 1280x720p

But I noticed a potential problem. PCPartPicker puts my estimated wattage at 464W, in which case the 650W power supply should be plenty. But the product page for the graphics card says the minimum power supply is 750W, and the recommended is (the manufacturer's) 850W PSU. So is the manufacturer overestimating or is PCPartPicker underestimating? Do I need to return my PSU and grab a 750W-850W one?

Fwiw, going by the 1.5x system draw "rule," you'd want a 700W PSU, and those aren't very common so a 750W would be the next step up, but that rule isn't really a rule so much as it's just trying to mitigate power spikes and have a buffer for upgrades you might do to your system in the future.

All that said if I were building anew I'd definitely want a PSU with one of the new ATX 3.0 connectors, which although I think you can get on 750W PSUs are gonna be more prevalent the beefier they get.

This might be a good question for the GPU thread. What formats are you actually interested in here? Most of the discussion around this has just been relative to AV1. All intel Arc Alchemist cards, RTX 40 series and RDNA 3 GPUs have hardware decoding of AV1. From the looks of things Intel CPUs and the like that advertise AV1 decode are really advertising the AV1 decode capability of the iGPU.

Wibla posted:I have the 2023 RM750e, it has a really annoying fan that cycles on and off seemingly randomly on my 5800X3D / GTX1080 system. They claim it is quiet. It is not. Get the x* or a PSU where you can disable the zero rpm bullshit. Funnily enough I have the EVGA 750-watt Supernova SFF and the fan has literally never, ever kicked on. Including now in my test rig with a 7950X3D and 4080 Super hooked up to it, even during benchmarking

I included the old SSDs from my current rig that I want to plug in. The intent is RTX gaming and recording and is probably my rig for the next 6-7 years. Monitor resolution is QHD, 144Hz. I might go to UHD at some point in the near future. Up for debate is the 4070 Ti Super vs the 4070 Super that's currently in it.

Natural 20 posted:Idiot check on this please: I think the general consensus is that liquid cooling is overkill for the 7800X3D. Mine runs cool and quiet with an air cooler. Also I don’t see that RAM on your motherboard’s list of supported memory. Maybe check the manufacturer’s website and pick a set off that list if you want to be sure it will run at full speed out of the box. Here's a link now that I'm not phone posting anymore: https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b650e-f-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_qvl_memory/ wash bucket fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Feb 28, 2024 |

Finally was able to get my rear end to a Micro Center in Houston, after having a conference north of town, had massive flashbacks to working at Fry's back in '05. Even the signs marking departments are the same. Wanted to start building a PC piece by piece but they didn't have the kind of Fractal Torrent I was looking for, nor a North with mesh side. Oh well. The amount of 4080 Supers they had was nuts to me. Also there's a 4090 slim model now???

Just completed my build exactly as you all suggested, with a slightly different CPU cooler. Put it together last night and it worked perfectly (once I got the power switch and power switch LED wires uncrossed). Thanks again!

Thanks again! drat, this looks close to what Ive been eyeing for a living room gaming PC. Might have microcenter build it for me as I am old and tired of those little motherboard cables!

Red_Fred posted:It's been 5 years since I built the setup below. It's been great but it feels like things are getting a bit slow. I added that 27" 165 Hz monitor in 2021 I think and it feels like the 2070 struggles a bit. I would like to be able to crank up Cyberpunk 2077 a bit more for example. Ok I finally got around to checking my PSU. It’s an EVGA SuperNova 650 G2. Not the Corsair I had above. If I am to keep the build above but add a 4070 Super or TI Super. Am I going to need a bigger PSU? Also got to add that modern cases are crazy good. I don’t think I had opene my case for a few years and it was almost dust free still! Awesome.
