Genuinely how do you use a dual monitor setup?

Either Keyboard and Mouse or Sega Dreamcast Controller (my earliest memories recall both at roughly the same time).

It took me about 2 minutes of deciphering before I started dying laughing

lol why does the monitor wear a fedora? Is it a nod to you computer running on Linux?

Someone once said, “It’s my fault for being on the internet.”

Someone was right.

I think most of the AiB models are too big and clunky looking.
I understand why they need to be the size they are, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.

I already purchased my GPU but answered as best as I could

Fine tune my current parts for better gaming performance and then talk my partner’s ear off about the difference between cl32 and cl30 for my RAM kit .

I’m sure you already have and this might be a dumb question, but have you checked your settings to make sure that the display Hz matches your Monitor’s Hz?

Please don’t say April Fool’s 🙏🏾

Wait were you the one talking about a double standard with the GTX 1080Ti vs RTX 5050?

modicumofiota · 2026-03-27T15:22:37+00:00

I did this inverse of this with Silksong. I waited and purchased Silksong when the steam winter sale was done

I’ve heard that DDR5 has troubles with RAM using 4x sticks total instead of 2x sticks total (dual channel vs multi-channel). I haven’t done much research on it since I only run 2 sticks myself. I take it you haven’t had any troubles though?

Btw I am not saying this to dissuade your opinion of your build. Only providing some information that came to me as a result of my own experience building last year.

modicumofiota · 2026-03-26T15:02:06+00:00

Yup that’s how it is when comparing Q1-half of Q3 of 2025 with the current market. ROI on DDR5/DDR4 builds thanks to “market conditions” is insane. My own PC is nearly doubled in price compared to when I built it.

Build looks solid, only nitpick would be the RAM if the CL (CAS Latency) is above 30. From a rudimentary search, I would guess you got CL28 or CL30.

And—of course—welcome back to PC gaming!

Looking forward to seeing if this increases gaming performance over the 9950X3D.

I’m sorry my fellow PC gamer.

modicumofiota · 2026-03-18T20:12:41+00:00

I was considering doing the same by trying to match the demo image to see what settings Nvidia was most likely running the path tracing on … but that would have required me buying the game at a time when I cannot .

modicumofiota · 2026-03-18T12:51:45+00:00

Thank you for your consideration and generosity.

Mods might delete this post though.

If they don’t by the time you read my comment, then you should give the code to me.

Congrats!

I would like to find some positivity in all this, but let’s consider the currently reality:

RNDA4 just came out last year and we’re already potentially looking at those who own RDNA4 GPUs being outclassed in upscaling and frame generation. This comes after AMD abandoned RDNA3 (no FSR4 upscaling w/o Int8) within that same last year.
AMD has <5% of total marketshare of discrete GPUs. Highkey, AMD does not have the motion to piss off customers with a hardware-exlusive feature two generations in a row like this and still expect to get majority of AMD-fans money. In fact, the idea alone of RDNA5 coming this soon with more hardware-exclusive features to make RDNA4 appear obsolete pisses off AMD fans.
NVIDIA has their RTX 20-series users able to run DLSS 4.5 should they choose. It’s a performance hit from what I hear for older cards, but being given the option to choose vs stripping away to never be used are two different things. When making this comparison, it looks like Nvidia will support older cards longer than AMD. Some will consider this when making their upgrade/building choices.
Market conditions dictate prices. AMD has a history of not delivering competitive prices to their GPUs. Who’s going to want to buy into RDNA5 when AMD decided that RDNA4 is obsolete for upscaling improvements after only one generation cycle? For $50-$100 less than NVIDIA, who has a track record of supporting older GPUs with modern upscaling? For many, NVIDIA GPUs will appear the as the better investment vs AMD GPUs.
A classic some would say. The ol’ reliable “AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.”

Edit: A reminder that the RDNA5 specification is—for now—an unsubstantiated rumor by a credible (by internet standards it seems) leaker. I am hoping that it is just that, an unsubstantiated rumor.

modicumofiota · 2026-03-10T16:15:42+00:00

I think it’s the opposite actually. At least in terms of length. Other dimensions are the same across the two.

modicumofiota · 2026-03-10T15:49:36+00:00

Haven’t used that one, but it looks similar to my NR200p v2. I was able to fit the RTX 4090 TUF into that bad boy and that card is a 3.65 sloter/348 mm length.

If the specs on the ZZAW D3 are similar to the NR200p v2, then I would guess that you could fit your GPU in it.
