how is msi pro x870-p mobo for 9700x 🤔
I am looking at getting the 5060 ti 16gb versions obviously was gonna pair it with ryzen 9 9900x is that good or bad? Or should i just go with the 7 9700x as suggested in this video?
Thinking of getting 5070ti with 9600x , will do 1440 gaming. Will it bottleneck or are there any other alternatives that I should get?
I play games
rendring videos
and recording
and doing AI work
and watching youtube on the secend moniter, All that at the sametime. That's the only reason why i have to go with rtx 5090 and 9950x3d, Any other system will die. If you only gaming and nothing else, This system is a waste of money, You will never utilize it fully like i did.
If you are gaming at 4K Intel 14900KF is the best value CPU out in my opinion
Ryzen 7 7800 x3d / rtx 5070 ti ?
good or nah
The point here is that why should we choose AMD 9070xt tho? The cheapest 9070xt I have found is $699 9070xt Steel Legend on Newegg. And 5070 TI PNY is always in stock with Msrp price $750 on bestbuy, Amazon, Walmart,… So 5070ti is a easily choice here.
I have a ryzen 9 9950x3d and was wondering if pairing it with a 5070ti be good idea or should I just go for the 5080 ??
Would a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5060 Ti 16GB be a good combo – mainly for gaming but was thinking the processor would be good for Video / Photo / Work editing too?
1k likes on comment and he will buy me a PC. 👀
Be careful also because your monitor can restrict you and some games are really badly optimised, like I play dayz and my CPU and GPU aren't anywhere near maxed out, my ram has a spare 16gb, my vram has extra 6gb, my monitor isn't maxed yet I can't get any more FPS and my pc is mad overkill for a game that old
Is the 9900X3D a good pair for the 5080?
I just built a machine around a 7800x3d, an asrock taichi 9070xt an asus 32 4k ips monitor and im over the moon with the performance so far
7600x with 7800xt 😅
i wish the 5060 came with 12/16gb vram.
I've got a 9950x3d and an Msi 5090 that run well (Unfortunately the 5090 is with MsI for warranty DP port issues), so I've been using my Palit 5080/7800x3d and it's been great.
Markus. You seemingly have a helium leak in you studio. Somehow.
Was it a balloon factory before you moved in? Maybe.
Is there a PC gaming season?
I mean the textures are being loaded onto VRAM nowadays but in next 2 years I mean… Directstorage is will be implemented in games for textures and such…. Making VRAM much more non limiting… So now they don't make sense but in future they'll perform good but, getting low vram gpu for games now isn't a good idea for a feature that is not even supported
is it bad to use a 9060 xt gpu with a ryzen 5 7600x cpu
i went for the 7700x with 9070 non xt im hyped to see how will it perform 😀
Which would you pick? Ryzen9 9950x + 16gb 5070TI or 9950x3d + 16gb 5070TI or Ultra 7 20core 265k + 16gb 5070TI..? playing from time to time.. thx
I think you should've mentioned that most esports games will work better if you get a better cpu, despite having just a decent gpu.
Going with the RX 9070xt + Ryzen 7 9700x for first time pc gaming experience
B580 is another 3060, underpowered and vram that it can’t do anything with it.
9060 xt 8gb all day over the b580 because you’re not buying a $2xx card and playing ultra settings at 1440p. If you are, you need to do a reality check.
Also, ‘ultra’ settings over high doesn’t make any sense for the fps drop for little visual uplift.
I really am digging my 9700x and RTX 5060ti 16 GB. I have a 1080p monitor with a 180hzt refresh rate. So I just Play at 1080p, crank everything to ultra and I still get 120fps.
5070TI with 7800x3D or above. Most efficient dollar for performance balance you’ll find
Bought a 2nd hand RX 7900 gre for $440, so much happy for the performance.
Sitting here with a 5600x and a rx6700xt going….so…umm…guess a 9060xt is overkill haha
Ryzen 7 7700x with rtx 5080 on a alianware 32qf. Perfekt match.
I build ryzen 7 7800x3d and RTX 5080 I am ready to play in 4k 😊
For a new 5070ti build, should I got for R7 7800X3D or R7 9800X3D, if the price difference is $175?
So was the 5080 a recommend by you or not? Realistically should never be a recommend by anybody. 15% more performance than a 5070ti for 40% more money? Worst card ever?
Did you forget about the rx7900xtx? In some of the comparison charts i do not see it.
