^^^ buying an a620 completely defeats the point of am5 with their barren i/o and dogshit vrms get one of these or a similar tier of board avoid these piles of garbage including the b650m pg lightning if it cant handle a 7950x it is a trash board and the b650m hdv will easily handle an overclocked 7950x so thats the baseline for am5

1) yeah you can use them on wifi no problem (*for unlocked devices at least, not sure if some carrier out there could force a sim on a locked phone to complete setup) I use old Verizon model pixel and galaxy around the house without sim and don't have any issues. 2) uhhhh...discord? I've never been a fan of FaceTime style calling so I have no idea what people do. 3) not sure about email. My accounts are all Gmail so I've never bothered to try

I'm not sure why some are referencing work-related environments. While it's true that an additional monitor could boost productivity in a corporate setting, the original poster didn't suggest this is related to their job. They mentioned they are just beginning to learn Python. Just because something is beneficial for a corporation doesn't necessarily mean it's a practical investment for someone who is exploring a potentially short-lived hobby

Just managed to snag a Sapphire Pulse 7900XT on sale here and my 4070 is in pretty good condition so I should be able to make a decent buck back on that. I checked on outervisions' PSU calculator and they were saying I should have heaps of headroom, even with a bunch of USB devices running, light strips, and 4 case fans. I'm excited to put it into my system, which uses a year-old RM750X from Corsair. 80+ gold, highly reviewed, was A tier last I checked. Anyway, that being said, I'm not sure what to trust. Outervision's calculator is accurate but doesn't account for load spikes, and I'd rather just return the 7900XT in box if it's going to be banging over my power limits all the time. I have a big and well ventilated case too. R7 5800X3D, 32GB DDR4-3200, B550-A Strix, 2 NVME drives, 2 monitors, 6 case fans running relatively slowly, a couple of corsair ARGB light strips & some external USB devices. The calculator threw out some max load wattage at around 568 watts.

You probably won't notice much of a difference when you upgrade. With these things, you usually notice the difference after you get used to it and then downgrade again. I went from 144Hz to 240Hz and it wasn't that big of a difference. Then again, I don't play competitive games anymore. After trying the 240Hz monitor for a few days, I changed my mind and went with a 120Hz OLED, and for my personal use, the slower refresh rate doesn't make much of a difference. However, the better picture quality and HDR definitely do make a difference. In the end, the types of games you play are the most important factor in how much you can get out of higher refresh rates. Can you reliably hit >200 FPS in the games you play? If yes, then it can make a lot of sense.

No, DLSS is not better than FSR in all cases. But even if it performs slightly worse on the same quality preset, the image quality and especially the image stability (meaning in terms of flickering, shimmering, aliasing, etc.) is still superior to FSR in almost all situations, especially at lower target resolutions like 1080p and 1440p. The difference isn't as big at 4K, but it's still there. I don't have any personal experience with Final Fantasy 14, so I don't know how a difference of 756 points translates into FPS. The difference is about 7%, so if that translates into 7% better FPS, I wouldn't call DLSS "utter trash" because of such a small difference.

One of the biggest issues in the U.S. is the acquisition of property for the rail lines. Outside of using current ROW for interstates or large highways, which is its own can of worms, it would be basically impossible to get it worked-out. It’s one thing when a rail developer is in court with a single property owner trying to get an easement established, but having potentially thousands of those cases lined-up for a long route? Not happening in many states that have strong property-owners rights. Even using eminent domain powers would be extremely difficult, and it would only take one failure in court to literally and figuratively derail the whole process. Honestly, outside of small routes I don’t think high-speed rail travel is going to be established nation-wide. Airfare is dirt-cheap and fast, people that like traveling would probably rather road-trip (I’m in this group), and those that just want to get somewhere probably prefer a few hours in a plane.

Strangely enough that tells me I can't use dism with windows PE (which I don't have). I guess I'll try these steps, can't possibly get much more broken anyway: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/error-50-dism-does-not-support-servicing-windows-pe-with-the-online-option Thanks for the tip, I'll update what happens. Edit: I don't have the PE registry key, I'll try to do the dism undo etc. Edit: the dism undo (revertpendingactions) errored out as well: error 0x8000ffff This thing is corrupted as hell, and all this because I tried overclocking and failed to boot. SO FRUSTRATING

i'm gonna hazard a guess that you're running into oddities running the cpu spread between both PSU's, without knowing the exact electronical layout of the PSU's and motherboard it's already quite feasible that that's 200 watts that can sway between both 1000W power supplies depending on exact conditions. running two ATX power supplies together is already a bit of a hacky dark art, the fact you're doing it with such a powerful system doesnt exactly help your situation.. and in all of that you're trying to run both power supplies pretty close to their rated power draw. i'd say get a 1600W power supply to replace one of the 1000w ones, use that one for two GPU's, CPU, and motherboard power. then use a 1000w for the other two GPU's. on that note.. if you're running this in an appartment.. depending on if you're in 110 or 220v land, and what your local standards for wiring are.. you might be kicking these power supplies out of acceptable AC voltage range.

@Gat Pelsinger Sorry about my late reply, I fell off of the face of the earth looking for a new job. Looks to be pretty standard alterations. to the DNSMasq config. I am planning to use the inbult TFTP server in dnsmasq. The Oracle docs show that the Kernel and the initramfs should be under my <tftp-root>/<dhcp-boot>/? So would that be /srv/tftp/pxelinux/vmlinuz-linux and initrd.img? This would be correct. You need to extract the kernel (which is the vmlinuz-linux) and the ramdisk (initramfs) into the folder that you specified (/srv/tftp/pxelinux/). These files will be referenced in the bootloader configuration file (which is PXELINUX for BIOS, or if you decide to netboot GRUB for UEFI) The BIOS implementation Should work (tm), but if that does not work, then you will have to use a firmware file that can PXE boot for a UEFI system (GRUB is the most common). This "firmware" file (it is really your bootloader) is the pxelinux.0 file that you specified in the DNSMasq config file. The PXE part is only half of the battle. Since you are trying to boot from an ISO, you have to do a TON of manual work to get all of the related files onto an accessible network-based medium. Most of it is going to be making sure that the files are properly extracted from the ISO (or you could try and mount it to the server, and attempt to get the files that way, but that can just cause a world of pain with mismatched permissions). 1) this technology is very sparsely used on the internet, and it is not something that I would put a candle to ChatGPT to (especially when you are dealing with a DHCP server that could be conflicting with the one built in on your router). 2) you cannot pass the ISO through tftp as the PXE client is looking for a file that it can use as a bootloader, and the ISO file is just seen as a random file with no specific meaning (yes I do realize that you can boot from the ISO, but your computer has no friggin clue what to do with it). Further steps: 1) try and see if you can get a standard netboot image working first (before going to extracting the arch ISO). I would use debian for this (here is a ink to download it under the network boot section: https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst) 2) once you get this to work, make an attempt to replace the OS files for Debian with the ones for Arch, and possibly alter the configuration file to work with the linux kernel parameters that you need My current PXELINUX file structure tftp root: `/srv/tftp/` dhcp-boot: `pxelinux.0` tftp configuration file (this is baked into the PXELINUX firmware): /srv/tftp/pxeelinux.cfg/default // this is for RS-232 Serial output of the terminal. specifies port 1 and baud rate of 115200 SERIAL 1 115200 // this is the location of the additional firmware files for PXELINUX relative to the tftp root (AKA the *.c32 files) PATH boot/isolinux/ // load the UI file for a simple menu UI boot/isolinux/menu.c32 // set the no-action timeout TIMEOUT 100 // if the timeout gets hit, then boot into the "linux" menu option ONTIMEOUT linux // define the "linux" menu option LABEL linux MENU LABEL Debian Linux // this is the path to the linux kernel relative to the tftp root KERNEL debian/vmlinuz // this will append these kernel parameters onto the startup of the kernel. NOTE: I am using NFS as my storage root, but that may be different for you // the initrd path is relative to the TFTP root APPEND root /dev/nfs initrd=debian/initrd.img nfsroot=[nfs_share] ip=dhcp rw This should at least get you started, and let you have a good idea on where you are going.

Firstly, have you tried a fresh install of Windows? Secondly, try booting a linux distro like Ubuntu. You can install it within Windows like any other application OR you can create a live bootable USB stick and try it that way. Either way, if Linux can't find the card then its proper borked! Is your BIOS up to date?

Seems pretty good for the price, some complaints of a hit or miss HDR and some screen flickering/dimming the latter of which seems to be able to be fixed with a driver update though, but hard to beat for £250 ngl

Flash the latest Bios. It can affect the performance. Don't forget to load XMP (DOCP) after flashing the Bios, you don't want your RAM running 2400 (JEDEC spec). And yes, your CPU is a severe bottleneck if you're gaming on 1080p.

Banned because maybe you should invest in a small compressor, especially if you want to get into old computer stuff.

No just need pc for 1080p atleast 300-400 fps in both games

Very late to this thread and I do understand the OP's position, kinda. Of the upscalers, FSR has been a distant third in temporal stability and that flickering of some elements is really distracting. Not everyone responds to artefacts in the same way, which could lead to much of the arguments. For example, some people apparently like motion blur. So some things may be no problem to one person, could be end of the world for another. FSR3.1 if it improves as teased could remove that barrier to entry. Based on the above, it could also help AMD GPU owners to avoid FSR upscaling before FG. I'm not the widest gamer, but in two titles which I've tried supporting FG, FSR was unusable to me because it made the character's hair have a weird pixel popping look. You can't capture it in screenshots and have to see it in video. The two titles were Forspoken and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. In the latter, I actually used XeSS over DLSS because it had the best temporal stability, and therefore to my eyes the least distractions. This is on the assumption the problem with FSR3 FG is not due to the FG part but the upscaler. To OP if they're still reading: 4070TiS should be fine with 4k gaming with upscaling and don't expect locked 120 fps. Use VRR and high double digits should still be a great experience for most games. I'm using the base 4070 for same. Yes, I could use more power, but regardless it is capable of giving a good experience.

Banned because I did the same to my pc with your compressed air

Oh my i always over estimate the size of that cooler, its so dinky Few things you could try, do you have any spare fans to attach to the cooler to have a dual fan setup? Are you able to tuck away those GPU cables some and move the front fan down a little to line up with the cooler? Likewise drop the rear fan as far as it can go to line up with the cooler Basically make a direct tunnel of air straight through your case with the cooler in the middle Adding another intake fan in the bottom might help your GPU run cooler and make it dump less very hot air into the cooler if you have one spare

Ah, which monitor?

Ah okay. Is there any other way to find a serial number? I managed to use one stick and went into the bios but Adata said the serial number isn't valid

eh what do you think?

Definitely save up then, A boards are so barren its ridiculous B650 boards have way more features, more stable and will have better support for more power hungry CPU's in future

Another reason I'm going 240 is because there is a monitor I'm eyeing up on sale, and its cheaper than some 144hz 1440p, kinda a no brainer
