I want it, but not for 2x to 3x the price of other new releases. Normally steam charges me 20-30 dollars for AAA games, but for some reason Doom Eternal is listed at 60. Too bad there is no official shareware.

This is why I still use physical stores for certain purchases. They value me as customer and fight for each RMA I need. To which extent they fight I don't even know, I just drop the card off and they call me a bit later with a fix or replacement. I say this from an all MSI system... Knock on wood

5700XT here. I play few games. Mostly SIM racing games. Some Path of Exile. A little bit of Rebel Inc. now too. PoE had a bug in January where game would crash on specific events. The devs took a week to find a fix. Rebel Inc, no issues, but I only played it about 5 hours. The big one is...

I've been very happy with my Corsair MP510 series. Very quick reads & writes.

Some people want Intel for any reason. I'm not here to argue that. Those who want Intel can save a boatload of money by waiting a bit.

I've noticed the sweet spot to be about 15% lower in both clockspeed and vCore on any Ryzen CPU (except maybe the R5 1600AF). To me that simply means AMD has overclocked the chips out the door. Same with their GPU's, obscenely overclocked as stock. However, my workload is not folding, but more...

Thanks for the reply. Issue for me is that the Asus is 200 dollars more here for me.

https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27GL850-gaming-monitor I'm eyeing this monitor, and reviews say it's great but suffers from slightly low contrast ratio. Is there a better monitor within the price of $450? 27" is my target size.

You can buy a 500 dollar gold electroplating kit and electroplate the shit out of anything. Phones, TV's, consoles, Raspberry Pi's, mice, controllers... anything. The per item cost is negligible.

With the custom 5700XT cards now appearing locally here, but with prices that matches the 2070 Supers, should I just go 2070 Super instead of the 5700XT? Or is the 5700XT still a better buy at the same price (less than 15 dollar difference)? I (will) have a 144Hz 1440p monitor for gaming and...

I may have been a little overagressive with lowering the vcore. Something decided to corrupt and kill my Bluetooth on the mainboard. No amount of trying to repair windows or drivers brought it back. Only a fresh install worked... Or it might have been the system file corruption which have been...

Crap. You're right. Its max 1.25 kWh saved per day. Not 3. Sorry, I messed up the calculation there. Dont know how I got 3kWh there... The rest is equally as valid though.

By limiting the max powerdraw by limiting max vcore (1.016v) and max speed (3Ghz). Yes, my PC is doing stuff 24/7. If it werent it would be a waste to keep it on 24.7, no? Best power saving is when you turn it off... I'm using the newest Ryzen Master 2.0.1.1233) with the "average" CPU temp...

Day to day, browsing and doing general tasks with some minor photoshopping my powerdraw, my temps, in my situation is much better. I don't need 4.25 Ghz all core boost, or 4.525 Ghz singe core boost to save me a second of render time for small tasks and I don't see the need to load the CPU with...

You still maintain a buttload of performance even with a 23% degradation in performance. It is still faster than a 3700x in multithreaded programs. I could probably clock the CPU higher and be faster, but I was shooting for the lowest possible temps while still being quicker than a 3700x. I'm...

This 3900x I have has been very good, but I live in a hot country so temps are always a little bit higher. Undervolting drops overall performance by ~23% in Cinebench R20, but very significantly reduces temperatures. I underclock the CPU to 3GHz all core, and use 1.0125 vcore (actual 1.016v)...

Honestly you are not going to see any real noticeable gains in games with either upgrade. Right now upgrading an Intel CPU is a wash for games more or less. Going from a 1080 to a 2080 is not justified because of costs. You'd be better off investing in other things, or even better, holding off.

The new beta Ryzen drivers are a bit agressive in keeping the CPU at a low state...

Thanks for the reply, but those are TN panels. Maybe good or great TN, but TN is garbage. I made a mistake of getting a "gaming" laptop with a "great TN planel" 120Hz, 99% SRGB etc etc... It sucks. Color reproduction is always off... even at a slight angle.

My new Ryzen 3900x build requires better displays. I have an old Philips 24" 234E and a new temporary LG 24" MK600. Sizewise they are a perfect fit for my limited space, and fit with about 1 inch to spare on the far left and far right. However, screen quality isn't the best. Contrast is too low...

My brand new 3900x build is amazing. It does more than I hoped it would. It equals and surpasses the TR1950x every time, and even beats the TR2950x in many loads. These many core CPU's are insanely good. Fuck Intel for gimping the desktop with 4 cores for a decade. Fuck them to hell and back for...

If you are unsure, wait for comparative reviews.

And they are listing now both the AMD Ryzen 3 3400G with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics and Wraith Spire Cooler. US$ 179 and AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics and Wraith Stealth Cooler. US$ 114 Keep in mind that the US$ 499, 3900x costs US$ 601 here. That Ryzen 3 3200G looks like a...

I got an email from my E-tailer syaing they got TWO R9 3900X'... 2 whole CPU's... talk about a shortage. Lucky I got one of them.

R9 3900X MSI Gaming Edge WiFi 16GBx2 KINGSTON HyperX PREDATOR PC3200 960 GB Corsair 960GB MP510 1 TB Samsung 850 QVO SSD CORSAIR 650W CX650M (80+ BRONZE) Corsair Carbide 275R Tempered Glass Mid-Tower White And a 5700XT when there are non-blower, un-gimped cards available.

I have no idea. People here love a good deal though. Didn't see anything listed on any 2nd hand markets either. Maybe stock was super limited. I see that the R5 3600 is back in stock... but not many.

I accidentally a word. "Expect max 4.4Ghz all core as standard with enough cooling"

DerBauer has a comprehensive look at O/C potential: tl;dw: Expect max 4.4Ghz all core as standard with enough cooling. Delidding is not worth it since you may net only 4C temp gains (or about 5-10Mhz). Edit: I accidentally a word or 2. Max 4.4 Ghz, and 5-10 Mhz more speed with delidding at best.

CPU's and X570 mobos goes live 5 minutes before scheduled time, and sold out immediately. The 3900x sold out so fast I didn't even get to see the listing.

Didn't AMD LN2 cool a 16 core part and break world records with it? They got it up to 5.25Ghz. It's not representative of a retail part, just a showcase of where the maximum performance is right now. Interesting, but irrelevant for retail and consumers right now.

I don't get everyone suggesting OP to go with an 8 core, 16 thread CPU. Considering OP's use case he would be much much better served by the Ryzen 9 3900X, the 12 core, 24 thread part (https://www.amd.com/en/product/8436) for very little extra money. Recommendation pending actual benchmarks....

I am not defending anyone. And the chart I made for myself when the announcement was made. And Im not trying to make anyone look better or worse. I replying to these types of posts here to see if there is a chance to reduce the negativity about a single person, polluting a forum thats not about...

Most will most likely not realize the speed increase when going to a faster drive. But I can guarantee you that you will feel a difference dropping back to a slower drive after using the fast one for a while.

Normal rational people heard speculation and preliminary leaked info about unreleased products. If anyone thought that the information, details, specs, etc were more than just speculation, leaks, thought, rumor, plucked out of thin air, then that's on them. Maybe you were drawn in because you...

Recently the Ryzen based laptops have been decent. Not top end, but midrange versions. They are not as fast or as power efficient compared to the 6 core Intel CPU's, but they do come in significantly cheaper with the same configs. It encouraging to see that Intel finally has competition.

Different use case. I like raw power. I don't want to sit around waiting for the machine to finish. I want the machine to finish way ahead of me.
