This gives AM4 users gaming performance on par with Ryzen 7600 and 7700. Without buying a new mobo and RAM. It's a also a solid budget option, for an all new build. As the mobo and RAM will be cheap.

I just looked at the pages again, and the UPC's are the same: 730143316088 Looks like MC simply made a typo on the part number. Anyone interested in one of these, should chat with Best Buy. You can also typically get 4-8% cashback (max of $50 back) with retailmenot, at Best Buy. Rakuten does...

There are forum settings to ignore users, rather than blowing up in posts ;) I have exactly one user ignored.

Both are months old news with leakers. However, users on this forum likely don't follow that stuff closely.

Could be 1% window Vs. 2% or 5%. Might want to double check what each reviewer is testing for.

Bummer it's not the new pixel layout. And IMO, ridiculous that an expensive monitor like this doesn't have at least one HDMI 2.1 port, to support 4k/120 downscaled for consoles, etc.

You can try price matching on Best Buy chat. Unfortunately, the model/part number differs by one character. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/amd-ryzen-7-5700x3d-8-core-16-thread-3-ghz-4-1-ghz-max-boost-socket-am4-unlocked-desktop-processor-silver/6573560.p?skuId=6573560

Nothing bought new, will touch this for $300.

There actually aren't a lot of sites/channels consistently looking at performance with upscaling turned on. HU kind of sidesteps it, by being bullish about raw performance. (See: they think the 7900 XT should be priced like a 4070 and the 7700 XT, like a 4060 ti. Due to AMD's lesser RT...

XFX has a 6750 XT on AMAZON AND Newegg for $300

Whenever the announcement is: I expect them to be on sale right then, or not very long after. That's how AMD has done it, since at least Zen 2.

Asus has confirmed this is a 3rd gen panel, which means it has Meta, and the new pixel structure. However, both HDMI ports are only 2.0 They really pinched on Inputs and refresh rate, to maximize margins on a display which should otherwise be an attractive option.

I think its pretty subjective with the better stuff. Because there are plenty out there, who think that LG TVs ABL is too aggressive.

That's a bit misleading, because they include some E-Sports and easy to run titles. In current titles with heavy graphics at 4k max settings, 4090 is more like an 75 fps card.

SSUPD riser cables at Newegg https://www.newegg.com/p/1W7-00SV-00005?Item=9SIAS0BK7E6421 https://www.newegg.com/p/1W7-00SV-00007?Item=9SIAS0BK7E6424 https://www.newegg.com/p/1W7-00SV-00006?Item=9SIAS0BK7E6422

did you mistakenly buy the case without the cable included or something? Because both Newegg and Amazon have the case w/ cable.

FYI, this monitor from MSI is the same panel; but, has updated features like HDMI 2.1, 4k downscaling, passive cooling, extra features for OLED care. And MSI put out a firmware a couple of months ago, which makes the EOTF curve pretty accurate. MAG 341CQP QD-OLED TFT central recently reviewed...

Its 240hz, which means it likely does not have the new sub-pixel structure.

Are you playing with an unlocked framerate? 5800X should be easy for 60 in Elden Ring. **Techpowerup shows a 5800x in ER doing 95fps average, with a 3080 at 1440p.

These don't use a lot of power in gaming, at stock, anyway.

To my knowledge, Noctua has never made white fans as an everyday product. For standard thickness: Thermaltake Toughfan 12 (its white and grey) or Be Quiet Silent Wings 4 Pro. Both perform very similarly. The Toughfan pushes slightly more air at low speeds and high speeds. But, is also slightly...

timestamped https://youtu.be/Hei0r0RvE94?si=Xl61oNUK9zlFxIC3&t=124 **regarding how "good" it looks: I've never done it. I imagine its probably not a perfect conversion, and could likely result in some colors being a little inaccurate. or maybe something like some black crush. But, its not like...

2080 ti is quite a bit more powerful than a 2080. Techpowerup has it at 21% faster in relative performance, for 1080p. 23% for 1440p. 30% for 4k.

That's months away. Even if it drops $50, the gaming you could do by then, is worth getting it now, IMO.

Newer capture cards can tone map HDR to SDR, so you can play in HDR and stream in SDR. If your capture card doesn't support it or if you are directly capturing your PC---OBS should have a shader for tonemapping.

IMO, what if's like that aren't made in good faith. Are basically a strawman to try and drum up controversy. And are rooted in dated socio-political ideas. Fact is "Yasuke" was a real black man, whom served under a Samurai lord. I don't know the full history and particulars. It seems some...

Nice upgrade for someone still rocking AM4! If you are transcoding on the CPU, you should be looking at more cores. And no, the cache doesn't make much a difference for transcoding. A better move would be to pick up an Intel A380 and utilize Intel's latest encoders. There would be no...

Yep, generally a sign of shader comp!

It's probably an artifact of temporal AA. And they also probably didn't spend the time to replace the temporal AA in the rendering pipeline, with whatever upscaler you choose. Instead they just run after the temporal AA. Not uncommon. It would be a fair amount of work to properly integrate 3 or...

Ruipro brand has a really good rep on AVS forums. They also have good support and actually replace cables when needed. And I'm not necessarily a fan, but they sponsor The Display Guy on Youtube. However, they don't seem to have anything certified, over 50 feet. Monoprice also has a good rep, as...

You cropped out what the bars mean (n) The blue bars are whatever he determines are "highlights". And the orange bars are whatever he determines "terrain". And in this specific "test", the LG doesn't do much better. However, in a test pattern, the 10% window brightness is way higher (as...

to POST the motherboard, and then update the bios (via the bios menu) you need a compatible CPU. I am not disputing the existence and utility of features such as bios flashback, which allow you to update the bios with only power to the board.

Right, and that is different from what Jandor and I were talking about.

As far as I know, the bios has to have at least basic compatibility with the current CPU, to boot and update the BIOS. And I think that's partially why we get early beta bios for new CPUs. They aren't really meant to be used in a fully running system. But, enough to get things moving. And...

Hopefully this ends up as some variant of Steam Deck. And to be clear, I still want AMD Steam Decks.

FYI For a "Home" version of Windows, you do not get access to Bitlocker. You get Windows Device Encryption. It will Encrypt all internal drives. No picking and choosing. I'm unclear if it will also encrypt external drives connected at the time you activate device encryption----but it seems like...

No. If you are worried about getting a board which does not have a compatible bios on it when you pull it out of the box, you have two options as a consumer: 1. AMD can send you a dummy CPU 2. buy a board with a feature often called "Bios Flashback" or something similar. With this feature, you...
