RTX consumers hardly have any power. They're just sopping up the left overs.

I'd argue it is dangerous to expose old people who barely understand computers to something as violently unstable as crypto. And no. I own no crypto. Not now, haven't ever, and never will. I hope it dies in a fire. I've been watching SEC...

Well, I don't want to make this thread political, but a free society can impose measures of control through democratic means without being dictatorial. I don't think most people would consider short term measures in response to a crisis to be a...

It was obvious that it's not Nvidia / AMD cashing in on cards sold at 3x or more MSRP but that hardly makes the MSRP more relevant to me as a consumer. I'm not even looking at GPU news / announcements anymore, because there is no point.

Went from 6700k to 5600x with a 3080. Average frames about the same but big difference in min frames.

I've did the jump last year. It made an improvement to frame stability in all games, especially in multiplayer ones online.

7700k to a 5900x will be a very nice jump! I went from a 5960x (Haswell-e), that with my overclock could spank the crap out of a 7700k. When I jumped to a 5950x, the difference was night and day.

I went from 7700k to 3960X and I was actually surprised how much of a difference it made in day to day snappiness of general office and windows stuff, not just the work stuff I bought it for. I imagine the Zen 3 stuff would be that and then some.

Thank you all for your responses. I've pretty much decided to go with the 5600X. The CPU is almost 4X faster than my current CPU, which does everything I want it to well. What is tipping the balance for me is the efficiency of the chips (max...

Platform maturity has it's merits less pain and waiting on bug fixes.

I tend to say keep it as a backup. I'm kind of a hoarder tho and never sell anything. I still have every GPU and CPU I've ever owned but I have used some of them more than a few times over the years when a spare is needed so....

Save it for a child or grand child as is my case or even a backup. My grandson got a brand new prebuilt gaming PC last Christmas with a GTX 1660 super in it. The 1080 Ti perform 183% better and the reason why they still have value. Mine (1080ti)...

You are comparing 3440x1440 to 3840x2160 and shouldn't. While 3440x1440 isn't trivial, it's not as demanding as 3840x2160 is. The reason I say a 3070 can't get 60FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing set to ultra (even with DLSS) at 4K is...

We were all screwed the day Nvidia discovered that gamers were willing to shell out for a $1000 Titan for an extra 5 FPS over the $600 xx80Ti card just to be part of the "Titan owners club". That was the end for decent pricing on GPUs.

Saying tee eye is correct as well. Technically, when referring to the periodic table, you would call Ti titanium, not Tie. CO2 isn't on the periodic table but you say "see oh 2" instead of "co 2" or you just say carbon dioxide.

The copper on that tab got so hot that it delaminated from the board. The real alarming thing here is that there's a missing bit of copper, which is likely inside the poor motherboard's PCI-E slot. That part of the PCI-E connector is the part...

Yes. Seriously is this a legitimate thread or are you trolling? How could you possibly think, with at least a high school education that putting a sensitive piece of computer hardware in a microwave wouldn't harm it? Were you thinking about...

Sometimes pathological idiocy has to be accepted for what it truly is. The fact that it isn't something that is broken or needing to be fixed has to simply be embraced and celebrated. I for one am celebrating by having a beer and making some...

I feel that the looter part is generous, it's more of an RPG shooter where you find occasionaly find better gear to your current one but most if not all of the good stuff is buried behind seemingly endless quests that almost all of the time...
