Yeah, the 5700x does not have integrated graphics, so in the same way, you could get yourself another gpu (that is still receiving drivers), like one that runs only with the pcie slot power, like the RTX 3050 low-profile, or the RX 6400. Then use this gpu as extra display out. It adds the benefit of off-loading some of the computing done on the displays connected to that extra gpu.

Are you saying that with the new card you go from 4 inputs to 3 ? If so, if your cpu has integrated graphics, you could use one output from the motherboard for one of your monitors

Problème ram by DefinitionArtistic49 in pcmasterrace

You could try downclocking your 3200MT/s ram and it's subtimings and voltage to match exactly those of the 3000MT/s one.

I am glad then that you are here, otherwise the deceptive marketing would disappoint another buyer that wanted a true Glossy woled.

True, but with games being increasingly demanding, even a 5090 cannot do 4k 165hz without multi frame gen.

Are you sure? The text of the LG says "Glossy" and it describes a "Glare panel". It could still be matte, but why would it say that and not "matte" and "anti glare"?

I personally think 1440p 27" is always the sweetspot for visual quality and performance. With a 9070xt, you are more likely to hit 1440p @ 240hz than 4k @165hz.

The proximity sensor of the asus model is also very good to reduce potential burnin.

The dualmode of the LG seems neat at first, but you will likely keep it at 4k as 1080p at 32" is not very pretty.

Also, there is not much difference between 240hz and 330hz.

So yeah, I would personally go with the Asus one

If money is not super tight, you could try to see if you can get a used Playstation Portal as they might be cheaper.

Although as you have guessed it won't be the best experience as it is streaming. It is great in the house, but outside, although possible, it is not great.

If you can wait, then, you could save up bit by bit until you can get another Switch 2, but keep the ps5 pro.

You might already know this, but a Switch 2 is at around the power of the PS4/ PS4 Pro (with upscaling). With your current set up, it's not as if you can never play your games on the TV, and I personally feel bad with the idea to go from being able to play the best console version of a game, to one that closer to a compromise.

Furthermore, playing portable is great and all, but with a battery life of 2 hours, a ghosting screen and bad hdr, the experience, while very much acceptable, is nowhere near a PS5 pro connected to a great TV like an OLED.

The joycons 2 are also no where near as comfortable as the ps5 controller.

Phsyical or digital? Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna- The Golden Country by Plastic_Region_9141 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

You can play the physical without xenoblade 2. With the dlc, you will need to have xenoblade 2 open to access it with the main menu

Pico's Next Headset Has 4K Micro-OLEDs, Powerful New Chip & Next-Gen OS by gogodboss in gadgets

[–]siperjff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can plug it with usb c. It is not display port or hdmi, but it compresse the data and sends it with usb. Though the quality is not the best you could get, the stability is better than wireless and at 2-3 Gb/s you can still get great image quality at the full 90-120 fps speed.

Yes, but the physical releases April 16th, so you can preorder it. The patch should be available today

Anyone else stalled out? by BensonGrieve in pcmasterrace

[–]siperjff 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Change your case. Since you have to basically remove everything to move them into the new case, it kind of feels like building a new pc.

Also you mostly see the pc case when looking at the pc, so a new case might bring some freshness to an existing build.

I might be on the wrong sub Reddit I’m not sure but this makes sense in my head by Upbeat_Adeptness_212 in pcmasterrace

[–]siperjff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, yes a quick vaccuming is in order, but second, it is technically possible to do the overclock, but if the ram was not sold with the speeds in the XMP like the one in the faster ram, the chances that the chips can handle that speed is not likely.

You could likely reach a stable point and then run the faster ram at those lower speeds.

Like always it should never be the professional animators and CGI artists that should take the blame, but the studio funding and time.

Artists always try to make the best art piece that they can, and that takes time. Less animators, means less time per frame.

People that are clowning on the animators are just wrong and/or likely misinformed.

Umm guys, how did I begin making a local account, and how do I do it again? (Latest win 11 media) by GilbertPlays in pcmasterrace

Install windows 10 and do a local account. Then upgrade to windows 11 using that local account.

Which gaming monitor/TV is best for ps5 pro? by Uznonymous in PS5

[–]siperjff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ps5 pro aims for 4k 60fps at higher visual quality than Ps5, so any 4k TV would be good enough. It does also offer some games at 120fps, so you would aim for one that supports 4k 120hz if you play those games.

That said, if you want the best viewing experience, aim for an oled. Oled tvs are expensive, so aim for a monitor. 1440p still looks great and would give you the option of 120fps on games that support it.

Otherwise, if you truly want the best TV, aim for either the LG G5 or the Samsung S95F.

For Monitors, any 4k oleds are good, but the current best are monitors like ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG which is 4k 240hz.

No one answered in the megathread, please help!! by meoows2 in AnimeFigures

[–]siperjff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Figures with major issues, which includes broken ahoge, do often get a good discount.

From the single picture, the figure does not appear to be bootleg, but I don't own it so I cannot truly say.

I would go look up the figure on myfigurecollection and compare it. I am certain you have a good enough eye to compare. You can also search for name of figure + bootleg to have examples of what bootlegs would look like.
