    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    My guess is $1999 for FE cards. Especially if the performance jump is true. Of course the entire pricing model regarding nvidia cards is outrageous, but is this such a ridiculous prediction?

    FS: AMD Ryzen 7700X and G.Skill 32GB DDR5

    Hi all, Selling a gently used 7700X that was used for about 3 months before switching to an X3D processor, never overclocked (sorry about the bad paste removal...was in a rush, will throw in some Noctua wipes). Also selling the G.Skill 32GB DDR5 kit that comes with the Microcenter kit CL36...

    7800X3D will be an utter failure of a CPU

    Does lowering the SoC voltage prevent you from being able to run the tightest timings? I have some Corsair Vengeance DDR6000 rated for 30-36-36-76 when set to EXPO II. Will I still be able to run the same settings?

    7800X3D will be an utter failure of a CPU

    Can someone give me the TLDR? Looking to drop in a 7800X3D on an Asus x670E board running DDR5-6000 - am I good to go with the latest BIOS update? Ok to enable AMD EXPO memory settings or is that what caused all the aforementioned issues?

    Who else is waiting on Zen 4 x3D before upgrading?

    Any reviews that have done a deep dive on 1% minimum, etc? Or any early adopters that can comment on personal experiences thus far?

    Who else is waiting on Zen 4 x3D before upgrading?

    The TPU one at least mentioned the 1% lows. I think everyone knew that the 1440p/4k performance benefit would be negligible, but the lows are what many of us are interested in. Also hard to benchmark this in certain RTS/MMO games where the 3D cache will really shine (theoretically). So I...

    Who's spending this much on CPUs to game at 1080p?

    Who else is waiting on Zen 4 x3D before upgrading?

    2023 and we're still basing performance on $700 CPUs on 1080p benchmarks? If the x3D chips were crushing Raptorlake, AMD would be yelling it from the rooftops by now. I'll wait to see the 4k benchmarks, especially the lows, but I have a feeling the entire package may be a bit underwhelming.

    Who else is waiting on Zen 4 x3D before upgrading?

    Disagree, I think there can be some improvements in 1% lows, perceived microstutter, etc.

    When can we expect the first round of reviews/leaks? Release day?

    Not bad. Which feels weird to say.

    Which RTX 4090 card are you planning or consider to get?

    Finally built my system with the Zotac 4090 Amp Extreme Airo. My first time going with Zotac (wanted FE but lucked out with stock at Microcenter) and pleased so far. No coil whine (using an ATX 3.0 PSU, not sure if that helps) and overall fairly quiet. Bios fan control has a quiet mode that I...

    Who else is waiting on Zen 4 x3D before upgrading?

    Yeah we'll see...IIRC AMD undersold the 5800X3D and reviewers were blown away by it. I don't expect that same level of delta this time around, but I think AMD will retake the crown slightly, although at 4K it's basically a tie now anyway. I'm hoping these get proper reviews looking at 1%...

    Who else is waiting on Zen 4 x3D before upgrading?

    The chiplet with the stacked cache will definitely boost lower. Will have to wait for benchmarks but it sounds like a scheduling nightmare for Windows. Will it know how to optimally assign which CCD for cache sensitive games/tasks vs those that are more frequency sensitive? Could just opt...
