I struggle paying over $250 for a video card. I was hoping to get better 1440p gaming as I bought 144hz monitor this year. Guess I'll stick with the used Vega 56 I bought for a bit over $200 a year ago. Last new video card I bought was an RX480 8gb for $240.

I am pretty disappointed in this move by AMD if it is true.

Still have my PS2 I bought in 2002. Sadly, just recently the DVD-Rom drive died.

I backed all my PS1 and PS2 discs onto my NAS. The Linux PS4, does it still play PS4 games?

I doubt it also. Not only that, but the PS Now is where a lot of the PS3 games are. Cut into their subscriptions.

I always liked buying the game discs. So I have something physical.

If the PS5 can do backwards compatibility all the way back to the PS1, I would definitely consider it. I still have all my games from all my Playstations.

I just hope they end up a better value than the 2000 series.

I agree it is a good gaming CPU. I just don’t think it is good value. $339 for the 3800X vs $396 for the 9700K.

Here are some comparisons with different video cards as the settings quality goes up and the graphics card goes down, the numbers even out. This is also where I think spending less on a processor and more on a video card would be beneficial.

All of those are 1080p Low settings. What were the differences on medium and high? What GPU was used?

Totally agree there. If you have to have absolute best frame rates, you’re shelling out the money for best performance bar none.

Yes, the 9700K is 5-10% faster in games. That is really the only thing it is better in. The 3800x is cheaper and it comes with a cooler. I agree you shouldn’t discount games, but overall, the 3800x seems to be the better processor. Besides, if l was buying a processor strictly for gaming right...

The 3800X and 9700k are both $399 MSRP. I assume that is why they compared those two processors. The are both 7 class parts(i7/R7). The i9 9900k is $539 MSRP. I do agree though, the article is written poorly.

Wait? You have to go to the command line to fix the issue?
