RIP Intel. 5000 series reviews out.

5600x better gaming chip than 10900k.

Are those new AMD cpus somehow running on Intel drivers somehow or what?

IF not, then Nothing changed as far as a consumer is concerned lol I don't need 169 vs 167FPS in csgo I need dependable driver uniformity.

[Jimbo0731]

Intel got smoked!

[Austanian]

Impressed with the overall win. Not upgrading from my 3600, but in a couple years when I can get a 5900x for 200-300 used I will be jumping on it.

No reviewers so far have had any complaints, at least from the 5 that I watched. No issues--it's a 4th gen product that's been refined and shrunken with architecture improvements.

King has been holding on to mysterious driver issues that no one has really had since SEP 2018 while ignoring all the security patches going on for Intel.

- Was installing CEMU, found out games were playable on Direct x but not Vulkan for over a year and you were only able to do it on Nvidia but for a whole year if you were on AMD you couldn't run anything but Vulcan support aka AMD until some random modders made a patch. In general who ever had AMD was 1 year late to be able to do something Nvidia could already do.

- To this day people playing VAM on AMD CPUs have to turn down physics rate and graphics to medium to run on Ryzen while Intel can run the equivalent load on Ultra. Simply because its still in development and they are working on everything else but support for a 2nd CPU brand.

None of these scenarios are a problem on Intel.

Ryzen would have to dominate for 10 years straight like Intel did to be the smart purchase choice brand. And that's not gonna happen since they keep massively leap frogging each release. Thats what you guys want right? competition? lol

Rocket lake is gonna blast off and leap frog this again. AMD will always suffer for being so behind for so long unless they can be ahead for years and years to the point the software landscape changes to benefit them first and foremost in any and all scenarios that are early release or small developer teams that can only focus priority on one set of drivers.

AMD is only for people who only play stuff that isn't from indie developers and only stick to a few mainstream titles.

Bro the mental gymnastics you do to defend a company you have no stake in is absolutely crazy. I really wonder how you are irl cause online you're absolutely retarded.

[BUFUbrah]

What motherboard would you recommend for a new build with a 5600x? Don't really need WiFi not sure what features I should be aiming for.

MSI B550-A PRO and Asus ROG STRIX B550-F are the ones I'm considering at the moment, mostly because they're near the top on pcpartpicker haha and seem to have most features I need.

I can spend more for more features or x570 if it is worth doing.

[PositiveCrew]

What's the best available CPU right now? I 10990k?

Should have my PSU and 3080 tomorrow, so now is the time to start looking for the remaining components

Lucky duck, where did you find one?

[PositiveCrew]

Lucky duck, where did you find one?

buddy posted a newegg link last week Thursday and 3 of us in my house got them

best? 5950x.

5800x/5900x for gaming since there's not much variance

best "available" one lol

I can't find any of the 5 series in stock anywhere

$400 for rgb fans is steep, could of gone into nice NVME SSD

[freeburn]

$400 for rgb fans is steep, could of gone into nice NVME SSD

It is but I have to say the best thing i ever did for my pc setup was get all my fans syncd together with software so I can control them exactly how I want. Icue has come a long way and is in my opinion pretty great to control your stuff with. Its not the buggy trash it once was. I almost never have problems with it now.


Besides.... Rgb is life.

[eod8989]

I have an MSI MAG341CQ 34 Ultrawide 1440p and a Dell S2716DG 1440p monitor im selling cheap if anyone is interested

[PositiveCrew]

it was only $300, and I haven't researched anything about NVME tech yet

I have my 1TB SSDs and 10TB HDDS that I'll be bringing from my current PC

can confirm the icue software looks great

should be able to get my AIO, Ram, Fans, and Mobo to sync up pretty easy

lol strong math, I mean if you want to spend almost 500 dollars if you add the fan controller thats up to you. The whole RGB will get old.

You putting good money towards a hngg monitor? I just got the Odyssedy g9

coulda sworn your post said RGB ram, not RGB fans :P my bad

I have an old Samsung CF791. will wait and see the performance on the 3080, but then probably upgrade to a 37" ultrawide 144hz

[PositiveCrew]

any ideas what's going on here?





3080 w/ i9-10900K vs
SLI 1080ti w/ i7-8700k

[bongowongo]

Guys, need your help



This is my current motherboard



https://ru.store.asus.com/_at106140-...tm_term=137184




How is this? do I need a mobo replacement if I plan on getting a 3080 and adding in the new ryzen cpus?


I also eventually plan on upgrading my regular SSD's to nvmes as well as increasing my ram to 32gb ... Currently have 16 gb

[Destor]

First item for the new gaming setup

[bongowongo]

5800x isn't worth it. Either 5600x or 5900x, unless they release a 5700x some time down the line.



Link isn't working. If you have a 400 or 500 series board, then the new Ryzen will work. 400 series definitely needs a BIOS update. If it's 300 series, then it won't work. 3080 depends on your power supply. Depending on your setup, you might need anywhere from 750w or more.

It's an ASUS Tuf x570 Plus

PSU is Masterwatt 750 watts

Nice! Almost have same build Just waiting on mobo, RAM, storage and will either go custom loop or call it a day and go AIO. I did splurge on the UNIFans - but the daisy-chaining is just too cool to forgo.

poverty chg90, should of gone for the g9 brah, how much was it?

[PositiveCrew]

looks like my CF791 no longer can keep up with my new PC

hitting 100 frames on all games on maxed settings now

between these two options:



any thoughts? anyone own them?

can get them both for the same price of around $1,100 USD ea so it's just a matter of whether I want more vertical or horizontal depth I guess

[PositiveCrew]

decided on the G9, mainly because I will be able to get a nice clean look when I stack:

[MrJensenn]

Wont receive my 3080 before january.
Disappointed with the information flow from one of the most reputable (enthusiast) shops in Scandinavia.

The positive is that my mobo wont receive its bios update before january so I have time to decide if I shall buy the 5600X or 5900X (and of course, let them restock).

And, nice setup PositiveCrew

I went with a different setup, a 32" curved Dell S3220DGF (VA, 2k, 165Hz, 99.7% sRGB), top-stacked is a Dell U2715H (IPS, 2k, 99% sRGB) and the bottom one is an Asus PB279 (4k, 100% sRGB, IPS). Using the stacked ones mainly for work.

[MrJensenn]

Lmao, managed to put in an order for a 6800, but not a 6800 XT.
Then I check the reviews and the laughable benchmarks when you compare price to performance.
They even sold the cards marked up from the MSRP, the MSI 6800 I had purchased was marked up by 21% over MSRP.

Cancelled and will continue waiting for my 3080. The price I paid for the 3080 can't be beaten, unfortunately (Can't cancel since I got the first launch price in addition to a 10% coupon).

Edit:
Wide variation in benchmark results.
Will be interesting to see what happens with third party cards and more mature drivers.

OMFG .... I was gonna say that LG is mine .... But it's not native 4k? ..... That's a bummer, that would have been my next monitor upgrade ... that screen size, hdr ...hnnnnnghhh.
