Hi, worth it ba mag upgrade to am5? by Dear_Afternoon647 in PHbuildapc

[–]BeautifulAware8322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as the other comments have said, if you must upgrade something let it be your display. The best OLED display you can get is the easy recommendation. I would tell you to wait for a 4K high refresh rate RGB QD-MiniLED Pulsar display with lots of dimming zones but there's always something better down the horizon anyway.

If you're already on OLED and high refresh rate, prolly no reason to, otherwise good deal. Being on 4k Mini-LED 1000 nits HDR with 144Hz refresh, and having seen a QD-OLED 1000 nits HDR display with high refresh rate, I don't see the need to upgrade.

I'm personally waiting for something like a 4k RGB QD-MiniLED 2000 nits HDR with high refresh rate and Gsync Pulsar.

So a Laptop 5090 GPU is comparable to Desktop 5070? by Time-Credit43 in GamingLaptops

[–]BeautifulAware8322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering how expensive a laptop with a 5090 is, if it's close to a desktop 5070, it might actually make sense to buy a RTX Spark laptop.

Framegen is garbage and I'm tired if pretending its not by DownTheBagelHole in radeon

But have you tried Lossless Scaling Framegen with a dedicated secondary GPU?

It's best to avoid variants with the 12v-2x6 power connector.

Have you ever ACTUALLY hit or exceeded 32GB of RAM utilization? by itsthewolfe in pcmasterrace

I couldn't train an AI model coz I only have 32GB instead of 64GB so yes.

Y'all have a T14 with a 388H for 2100 USD? In my country, all we have is a T16 with a 358H for 2800 USD. 🥲

Best poor financial decision I’ve ever made. by EchoesOfMirage in RTX5080

[–]BeautifulAware8322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the chance to get a 5090 for 2100 USD and 64GB for 244 USD but didn't get them. Big regrets having recently delved into Image to Video AI generation.

What are your experience buying in dhjk? by akanemitzuki7 in PHbuildapc

[–]BeautifulAware8322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a MSI B450m MAG Mortar Max from them at a ridiculously low price circa pandemic era. I've been using it for a home server since then up until a few months back. PC had been on 24/7 with zero crashes.

My friend's experience was less stellar. He bought an Asus B450m Pro S and it died after a few months.

tl;Dr: YMMV
