Between playing poorly and not being able to play at all, im sure mostly will chose the former. Good luck with a blank screen.

LOL. Clearly no clue on what will happen. So you like more slideshow in 5-10 years, some even crash? Yes, it can crash with not enough VRAM.

Hardware unboxed also got confirmation from AMD it has game support for RDNA. Go cry somewhere else.

Yeah sure. Slideshow still better than black screens. Whatever.
AMD done this before. 1st Gen Ryzen mobos were removed from supporting newer AM4 CPUs until they walk back after much backlash but then not all older mobos had support. At this stage Im not confident AMD actually cares for their existing users but sure, continue your AMD fanboyism shill. Fanbois are all so gullible.

You can go ahead with your crappy Nvidia products.

LOL. Calling me fanboi without knowing. Its called buying better product for the money. Did you know only 3 generations of my GPUs is ATI/AMD? I still have 4080 and 3050 8GB. Your responses made it obvious you are Nvidia fanboi. So desperate.

Guess what. I don't trust Nvidia either. Much more driver issues this year.

Cut your both GPU talk, was thinking who will buy this another laptop CPU put in gaming desktop

Asus T500MV

Found out reddit got ppl buy, heatsink just like laptop one

He's salty. Finding as much as possible discrediting anything other than Nvidia. Even with 8GB selling more than RM1k is fine. Some post is spam level too. All he wants is inflating his post counts.

After the massive backlash (again! harken back Ryzen 1st gen mobo support), AMD has Uturn on their lower prioritisation game support for RDNA1/2 (again! like Ryzen 1st gen mobos).



But how long will AMD commitment remain? Since the main issue is RDNA1/2 are still parked under Maintenance Mode status and not back to main driver prioritisation, so is AMD hoping the heat dies down in time and they can go back to release game drivers when they so chooses?

Lets see then how AMD fanbois are coping this, maybe they should start making their own noises if they cant play the latest games due to late drivers coming instead of fawning over that brand (no their not your friend nor saviour to Nvidia evilness!).

Meanwhile Intel is actually doing better at game ready ARC driver support than AMD. Go figure. At least they arent as broken as AMD nowadays

9060XT 16GB doing worse than 5060 8GB? LOL!

This is rig suggestions, not AMD vs Nvidia. Last warning.

Lol. Handpicking benchmark results. I bet they don't even stress the VRAM. For cheating waterfish.

Fanbois can reiterate as many times but cannot be denied it was a PR disaster and just waiting for owners to find out if Maintenance Mode really is what it means.

Continue to be ignorant circling around is asking for a ban.

Hi guys, anyone can suggest good cpu casing for this setup?

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700x
Mobo: MSI B450M mortar
RAM: XPG Spectrix D41 2x 8GB
GPU: Asus Prime RX 9060 XT 16GB
PSU: FSP hyper M85+ 650W
SSD: XPG SX8200 Pro 256GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
CPU cooler: Cooler Master MasterAir MA410P
Case: Tecware M2 micro

Budget: <RM 200
Appreciate your recommendations.

Do you have intake and exhaust fan in your casing? There is no point changing to another casing with similar performance. Increase your budget and you'll have more options.

Hi guys, going back to this topic... we agree to buy a new gaming pc for my son. Thanks for sharing Wuthering Wave game spec, but of course we are not buying a new pc just so he can play this game. Can I therefore get some suggestions for a decent gaming pc spec, that is currently in the mid range budget, say around RM3000-4000, that would be still usable 2-3 years down the road, and can play other first shooter games in 2025 or near future.

I ask because some say, for example, GPU that is RTX --30, or --50 is not worth buying. Must go for --70, --80, --90. I have no clue, that is why I am asking. Something like
4090 is better than
5030 (not worth although is 5000 series, but is the budget version)

Thank you all in advance.

Bad time to buy PC. You want future proofing some more... RAM and SSD prices skyrocketing due to shortage. I would advise to buy immediately if you can find old prices. If you can buy parts separately and build your own, you can save some money.

If you really need to buy now, try

Core i5-14400F - 529
MSI B760M-A Pro Wifi DDR4 - 599
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4-3600 kit - 279
Asus RX 9060 XT 16GB Dual (avoid 8GB) - 1476 (Shopee, on sale price. May not last long)
WD SN850X 1TB - 439 (KC3000 now more expensive...)
FSP Vita GD 850W - 399
Cooler Master Masterbox Lite 600 case - 259

RM3980 total (Viewnet prices unless stated - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_6j...feUULTGxIjPEFpo )

Thank you TristanX and Babylon. I wonder if this is a good opportunity to have him be patient. The last time ram and hdd prices went up really high that I can recall,  was many years ago. Also cause I have stopped buying pc for many years. But it eventually would come back down like 4-6 months later after production catches back up with demand.

Maybe the other thing to consider is using a Oculink, since he is using minisforum UM870. Minisforum have DEG1 docking station. So I need to buy only 2 things, avoiding hdd and ram :-
- PSU
- GPU

Am I right?
*
That DDR4 price is still at normal level. Just hope it stays as long as it can. WD price did not get adjusted yet.

Docking station isn't cheap and it is only PCIE x4. It will bottleneck powerful graphic cards.

The link doesn’t seem to be working.
But yeah, my only concern is the warranty.

Any issues past the 30 days return window means I’ll need to ship the part back to crucial US. They’ll honor that, but I’ll likely need to pay for the shipment there. (Would be around Rm 150-200-ish I estimate).

I do intend to upgrade my mobo sometime soon as well.
That’s why the <rm50 difference to future proof it seems worthwhile.

Any chance the SN8100 , samsung 9100 pro or T710 be sold locally at under rm1k for 2TB?

That link is exactly same as the text. This will work.

Plenty years back, Samsung evo plus series Ssd failure rate is consider quite high percentage...

Like you said, plenty of years ago. Never heard anything for Pro series. I have one 990 Pro running for 2 years already. I also abused 960 Pro 512GB and still running strong.

yup now RAM and SSD so expensive, some part will add it on future
but the RAM they recommend seems old, cant easily find cheap (Crucial DDR5 5600mhz CL46 UDIMM)
if I want to add another 32GB in future, it is i need to find back the same brand, same CL, same speed?
or different brand with same CL, same speed?

Not only RAM and SSD. Motherboard prices these days are insane as well. RM1k+ for high end chipset (and still not high end board). I missed the days where you can get overclockable high end chipset at RM379. Hello? Asus P8Z77-M!

Hello sifus, wanted to check if Gigabyte 5070Ti Eagle OC SFF 16g at 2.9k is it a good deal?

New in custom pc build here.

Stop asking and buy. That is very low price.

If that is from Lazada, very likely it is fake. They combined it with regular 5070.

Price well below MSRP at the moment. 10% is nothing. And RAM doesn't affect only AMD. Let me remind you this is rig suggestion thread.

Which HDD recommend buying now? Looking for 2TB or 3TB non SMR drive.

Those are not cheap. Seagate any Pro series.

MSRP should be comparable to 5070Ti, yet cheapest 9070xt is RM 3400 while cheapest 5070TI is under RM 3k. By right it should be 10% cheaper than that 5070Ti considering its inferior featuresets. Let me remind you rig suggestion also includes GPU 95% of the time when a reco is asked.
*
Don't put prices without anything to back it up.

Cheapest RX 9070 XT, Asrock RX 9070 XT challenger at RM2832. Cheapest RTX X5070 Ti, Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Windforce 3X at RM3219. That RM2.9k 5070 Ti is nowhere to be seen.
