What is your ideal PC build?
Currently AMD X3D + RTX4070Ti + 1440p monitor & 4k Monitor for Productivity .
4080 super with r5 7600 i build it with pcpp and it was 1540 euros but in cyprus its 2043 euros
Current specs are rtx 4080, 7800x3d, and 1440p Ultrawide OLED. Doesn't get much better than that 😅
@@MaximosTheGamer what's going on in Cyprus? Why did it cost so much more?😯
@@ezechieldzimeyor4541 that's a very nice setup! I'm planning to switch to OLED to improve my experience. Should be glorious🙂
I wanna ask u, if i wanna pair 14400f with 4070 super asus dual, however the only fps i wanna achieve is 165, not higher (even in esport games) is this combo good??? Note that i checked the video about this combo but u talked about if i want 240+ fps, but my question is just about 165 since my monitor will be like that
I have very limited experience with competitive games as I don't play them. I'd search for the game I want + i5 14400 (or 13400 because they're almost the same) and see if I'm happy with the performance. If I had to guess then I'd say that it's probably going to be OK.
Yeah, I still using a 1440P 240 refresh OLED with my RTX 4090 + 7950X3D. I will only go 4K when the RTX 6090 is on the market.
Those monitors are nice! I'm happy to see that a lot of OLED 4K 240Hz launched this year. By the way, games will continue to evolve. Do you think that things will be a lot more different when any future generation of GPU launches? I don't think so.
@@theivadim Well, right now the 360Hz refresh versions are on the market :) These are a few of the things that might happen in the future: more advanced upscaling and ray tracing (both better hardware and algorithms) -> this is a certainty. Smarter NPC's and gaming environments (using AI) which will also be more dynamic, neuromorphic picture compression for much higher quality textures, ray tracing being used for audio, etc
Every time GPU and CPU makers find a way to increase performance of their products, game developers find a way to use it to do more in their new games. Better geometry, effects, etc. To me it looks like the games industry targets 4K 60 FPS mark. Something will have to change for game devs to start building their games with 4K 120 or 240 in mind. I don't see that "something" happening.
@@theivadimI've come to a similar conclusion which puts me in a weird position. I have a 1440p Ultrawide 175hz OLED paired with an OC rtx 4080. The only meaningful upgrade i could make is Ultrawide 4k, but I'm not even sure that a 6090 will be able to drive that when it comes around lol
I enjoy my 4K oled monitor with my 4090 1440 p seems like a waste for such an expensive card. And I could never go back after looking at 4K for so long now 1440 P looks like trash to me.
Can you play these high end hing PC's on Oled TV's like 65" LG C1 ? Is the Intel i9-14900 (24 Core [8P @ 2.00GHZ-540GHZ/16E @ 1.5Ghz-4.3HZ] - 36MB Cache + UHD Graphics. ^^ Can I go lower on CPU to save more...if so what is recommended ? Also as the FPS go up and down does this make the game stutter - if so will it be spending that much on the 4090 ? Thanks
Buy an AMD 7800X3D, it costs a lot less and it performs the same if not better than a 14900K. It doesn't get hot, it consumes less power and it is just a better CPU, unless you count productivity tasks, in which the 7800X3D is also good.
You can go with the 7800x3d but if you do productivity you can go with the 7950x or the 7950x3d for amd or for intel then the 13700k or the 14700k or the 13900k or the 14900k. I have my first all white high end build with the gigabyte aero oc 4090/ 7800x3d/ 64 gigs of ddr5 ram/ 2023 1,000 watt corsair power supply in the white phanteks nv7 with the phanteks d30 fans. My pc is my profile picture.
15:41 The game's graphics and gameplay are impressive, with excellent ray tracing and path tracing capabilities👌👌👌. It will be interesting to see how the rumored 2.5x improvement in ray tracing performance with the RTX5080/90 will further enhance the visual experience.
Indeed. I'm looking forward to the next generation. It'll be interesting to see what game developers will do next with ray tracing when they'll get more performance to play with. Even more realistic reflections and light😯
Приветстую Вадим! Назрел вопрос как думаешь примерная дата релиза 5070? Конец января- февраль или рановато будет? Виктору привет если ещё общаетесь 😎
Hi! Информации о 5070 пока нету. Думаю зависит от тог как АМД себя поведёт. Если выпустит что-то намного лучше RTX 40 карт, то NVIDIA поторопится выпустить конкурента в лице RTX 5070. Но если нет, то NVIDIA скорее всего запустит 5090 и 5080 только. С остальными картами не будут спешить. Думаю раньше чем январь 2025 ждать 5070 не стоит.
When on gpu 240mm aio demanding 400w chip around 65C, but if its cpu it goes around 95C and throtling its interesting.
Indeed, interesting. I think it might be because with the GPU it is direct die cooling. While with the CPU there’s IHS in the way. That’s why some people take that metal cover off of the CPU to get better cooling for overclocking.
Карта бустится до 2820-2835. Она в стоке? Или +100 по ядру? В среднем 4090 бустятся до 2730-2745.
Stock (Gaming BIOS). Из моего опыта - карты с водяным охладом часто бустятся немного выше других.
Need to turn on RTX HDR. The in game HDR causes washed out colours.
You should test it on Ark survival ascended. That game makes even 4090 a 1080p card.
I'm sure it does🙂 I don't like that kind of games so I don't want to spend money on it.
alan wake 2 makes 4090 look like a 720 p card lmao
@@Felixrizzlord Ark is actually even more demanding than Alan. Even with dlss and frame gen rtx 4090 cant keep stable 60 fps at 4k max settings and with dlss on frame gen off it gets below 40 fps average. Heck at 1080p native it cant get 60 fps lol. Basically no card can run it at maxed out settings.
@@Marko-ij4vy shit man Is the game unoptimzied or is it just rendered on a whole diff level That only next gen gpus would handle ?
@@Felixrizzlord Id say more on the sht optimization side but still its open world in unreal engine 5 which is going to be super demanding no matter what.
Dude, that small monitor simply just doesn't match with your huge beast power horse inside that big case, I think 32''4k high refresh monitor is the least sceen to enjoy the true beauty of the 3Agaming world of PC master race.. hahaha
That is a 32 inch monitor😉 And I agree that this larger display size feels good for gaming🤝
its denuvo thats the problem which is being used in dragons dogma 2 which just hits the cpu hard
It's not Denuvo. Devs already confirmed that it's because of how they implemented NPCs.
@@theivadim yes they did confirm it but why take their word Denuvo will still cause problems even if they optimize the game well as it is constantly running i mean it might be not as bad as it was on nfs heat when the game launched back in 2019 but denuvo does put strain on the cpu
New games are super demanding, even without RT and it will get even more demanding with new engines and features. Even for 1440p you need at least rtx 4070 or rx 7800xt with serious CPU to play on ultra/high settings but with not much future proofing in my opinion.. rtx 4090 is the only optimal, somewhat future proof gpu for 4k but that sport becomes super expensive bcs everything has to be top notch and its not worth it for me. Maybe 10 years ago it would be but not any more... Btw try Fort Solis just for fun, its the most demanding game i played and it looks good and its not a bad or expensive game. There is a s scene in the begining of the game that brakes GPUs..
If You think these gpus have no future proof you're delusional. 20 years ago If i bought a gpu that was mid range high range next year was low budget.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.
damn all these games look like they released in 2010. I need to see some RDR 2 and CP2077 and seriously demandin games pls.
4090 is a waste on flatscreen monitors. You need to use it for VR.
Finally a good comment. Exactly my thoughts. I thought my 4090 strix oc /7800x3D rig was powerful until I tried ms fs 2020 in VR 😂 Definitely not an overkill for VR but a baseline requirement I would say.
VR? Wtf..
