OMG I remember those days playing Crysis. But, can it run Crysis? the 8800GT was amazing for the price.

One of my all time favorites was the 8800gt. I picked mine up for $199 and it out performed the $400 8800gts and was fairly close to the $599 8800GTX. That was a pretty cool time to be a budget gamer.

I'm definitely cheering for Intel here. We need more competition in this market so prices can come down. Nvidia still dictates everything =(

That's the happiest I've ever seen Steve.

I actually still have my Corsair Dominator Platinum Airflow cooling the b-die gskill. I could repurpose that.

Keep in mind that, once you get past about DDR5 7200-7400 ---- the RAM becomes very temperature sensitive. 8000 is so temperature dependant, you would be hard pressed to use it longer than running a benchmark, before it warms up and becomes...

I remember when cold cathode tubes and case windows were pretty [H]...

LOL I know right? I don't really care for aesthetics but performance. If the gskills were around the same price I would get them taking on selling in the future would be easier.

Thanks a lot for taking time dude. I really appreciate.

That ram looks hideous though? lol When is corsair or gskill going to make a 8000 kit?

I was planning to run a 12900kf or 13700k. Total power should be what? Like 630ish watts?

You could also set a 70% power limit. You lose ~6٪ performance while consuming 150w less. My total consumption from the wall with 5800x3d and 4090 @ 70% PL is about 425w.

You know there's more than a video card you need to worry about when picking a power supply. That said even with a fairly efficient CPU there's no way I would put it with a 750 watt power supply. I mean if you can afford a $1,600 video card then...

Would a Corsair RM750X be enough for a 4090? Also does anyone has the corsair 600w adapter? Thanks

Meanwhile here I am trying to get a single 4090FE LOL. Amazing setups.

Depends on the case. I have a friend that only plays Warzone literally just Warzone 2.0 and for him was no brainer.

I was looking at this one on amazon. I've heard it runs really cool...

Thanks for the explanation.

usually from the speed and the primary timings: > Micron: 5200mhz and under, max 5600 with timings 40-40-40-40 > Samsung B-Die: 5600mhz up to 6000mhz, with timings 36-36-36-36 > Hynix M-Die: jedec 4800 with timings 40-40-40-40 (klevv black pcb)...

I tend to not bother on the GPUs - by the time I get anything noticable out of it these days, it's time to upgrade anyway :p I just do a lot of water cooling or high air-flow and let them boost as much as the temps will allow. Just hasn't been...
