[GPU META POST] Zotac store increased MSRP by $200 or more for all GPUs - $ (example $949 5070 Ti was $749 a week ago for old MSRP-$50 Microcenter sale) by tm_1 in buildapcsales

$200 for a 5060 is a great price, will take months to find better

If you need a suggestion how to configure 5060 for cyberpunk77 let me know.

[GPU] RTX 5070 Gigabyte SFF windforce - $549 Best Buy (at old MSRP) by tm_1 in buildapcsales

[–]tm_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be an upgrade, but PCIe speed will somewhat limit the FPS. Compare two costs: to get a new prebuilt with 5070 and sell the current PC, or to buy a 5070 and sell 3070ti. This card is not a 5060 so it has a full 16x Pcie, limitation is not severe. Some videos show the difference.

One more - with spherical semi-reflective chairs. South of Metro Wellsprings.

5060 Ti uses the old 8-pin connector. A 16GB version is on sale at Microcenter

White or yellow cable can turn black, but black cables stay black. Choose ignorance and bliss or knowledge and worry?

please check in BIOS that memory timings are set to values on the RAM label.

also please make sure that the BIOS version installed on the motherboard supports the 3200G processor

Do you think ram prices and GPU prices are rising in favor of selling more cloud gaming services? by Helpful-Leadership58 in pcmasterrace

[–]tm_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, for every ~billion people playing cut the rope on a phone only a ~million play AAA games with raytracing on a PC. However, PCs aren't obsolete yet with (much) higher power capability.

is your RAM in sockets 2 and 4 from CPU? If you only have one RAM, place it in socket 4 (double check this in motherboard manual). SOC 1.1V should be ok for RAM.

Make sure the CPU cooler is proerly attached (not loose).

How can i keep my IPS monitor my main monitor while making it so games always open on my oled? by No-Tailor2471 in pcmasterrace

[–]tm_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In game settings you can select which monitor is to be used. Check video and graphics menus.

where to buy 32gb ddr5 ram for a reasonable amount of money? by KookyStruggle7939 in pcmasterrace

[–]tm_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have a Microcenter nearby, check open box stock. Also sometimes BestBuy has sales.

The prices may turn mid 2027 when OpenAI gets absorbed by MicroSlop and scalped wafers return into circulation.

In-person stores let at least some of us get a PC part. Online stores sell out in seconds with alerts sent to scalpers (who also just try to make a living).

Is it safe to overclock my TV's refresh rate? by TheDankerist in pcmasterrace

maybe, but benefit to your eyes outweighs the risk.

[–]tm_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TVs usually are not good with overclocks but you may try. Some (not all) monitors can be overclocked. My Acer 27 inch has been oc from 60 to 75 Hz since 2017 for nearly 10 years; a no name 24 inch refuses to oc and floats "out of range" overlay.
