It’ll be a big boost just from the much better architecture of Zen 3. Honestly, I would advise anyone on AM4 that wants a cheap upgrade to pop in a 5800x3d at this point. It’s that good of a cpu.

You’re definitely going to have less of a bump at 4K, but it’s there nonetheless. Even if most games you basically break even, when you do run across a game that likes the cache, the difference can be massive. I have a feeling the 5800x3d is going to go down in the same tier of chips with...

So after a couple days with the 5800x3d in my rig, I’ve been extremely impressed. I’m running 1440p UW and a 4090, and even then the difference has been noticeable. My 2 most played games are WoW and EFT. Both of them are known to benefit from the cache, and it’s nearly a night a day difference...

Selling my 5900x after swapping it out for a 5800x3d. I decided the extra cache was worth more to me than the extra cores. CPU was run with standard PBO settings under a 280mm AIO. Will ship in original box and clamshell. Asking $275 shipped or $250 local cash (Nashville area). Accepting...

Another thing I’ve continually read regarding the 5800x3d is that you have to factor in 1% lows more than just overall fps. Essentially everyone seems to say even games where your average fps is virtually identical to the non-x3d chips, the cache really helps to smooth out the 1% dips, so the...

Been a long time since I posted here, but I came across this thread while researching whether moving to a 5800x3d from a 5900x was worth it at all. Well, the cpu went on sale on Amazon, and I decided to order one. With the current used 5900x prices, it seems like it should be very minimal cash...

I mentioned it in a previous post, but if you missed out on a refurb and still want a CX, make an offer over on Greentoe. Offer the refurb price and you’ll likely get a counter offer for about $100 more or so. That said, there’s also no tax or shipping on GT, so you may even come out ahead of...

Personally, I think you’re better off going through Greentoe for a CX right now. I just got a counter offer for a 77” CX for $2850. That’s with no tax, so if I take my local sales tax into account, it’s like purchasing locally for ~$2600. That’s for a brand new tv from an authorized reseller, so...

Mine still is showing backordered though I never received the original delay email. I ordered a 5900 at 11:18pm cst. Luckily, I have a cpu sitting at home that was delivered from Amazon today, so I’m in no personal rush. The only reason I’ve kept the preorder open is because a friend wants it.

Oh good, a whole extra studio to help pump out $1000 ships while the actual “game” flounders around for a few more years.

Since I’m still waiting on my cpu, I emailed Arctic and asked if I could have the rev3 mounting hardware for my rev2 AIO. They said they were getting some in the next few days and would send me some for free. Worth hitting them up if you want the new clips. They are supposedly much easier to...

5800 I assume?

Well, I managed to get this order in tonight. I basically have 2 preorders between this and BH. I have a feeling I’ll get my BH order first, though, since I was early enough to not get a delay email. Even assuming I’d get the Amazon order well before January (pretty much every Amazon order I’ve...

They’ve always sold out instantly, so it hasn’t stopped anyone.

Newegg has gotten a couple of 5900 and 5950 restocks, but they went the scummy route and only sold them as part of bundles (ie force you to also buy some other crap item that they can’t sell otherwise).

As an update to my previous comment about BH preorders, a few people on the discord now had their 5900x orders ship. It seems like people that ordered in the first 5 minutes had theirs shipped yesterday.

A couple people on a discord I’m on got 5950s shipped from BH. They were both in the first 5 minutes. No one from the discord has had a 5900 shipped from BH. Even people that never got the delay email that went out (myself included).

I ordered about 20 min after it went up. The fact that I haven’t gotten an email is probably a good thing.

When did you preorder? I haven’t gotten any email from them, yet.

Based on B&H saying they’re expecting a shipment on the 15th as well as some people’s expected delivery dates on other sites, I think it’s a pretty safe guess that most stores are expecting their first big restock around then. It also lines up nicely with the 6000 series gpus launch. It would...

The one I bought about a month ago is still revision 2. Rev 3 must be super, super new. I wonder if the mounting changes are the ones the mentioned they were working on to GN in response to GN saying they felt it was a little awkward to mount compared to others.

They do. In the GN reviews, the Arctic 280 barely gets edged out by the EK 360. Because of that result, GN got a hold of an Arctic 360 and found that it slightly beat the EK 360 to retake the top spot. All the 420 is going to do is push their lead out further. It still seems like a “because we...

Your going to need either a controller or some rgb (3pin) splitters. Your Corsair AIO is also going to have to use their icue software to control it’s RGB.

Thanks for the pic. I’m actually putting one in the same case, so I’m glad to see it fits with a little room to spare.

I will be attempting to get a 5900x the moment it’s available. I have everything else just waiting for the cpu, so I really hope I can snag one. I’ll stay up late, wake up early, etc if I need to. I’m fairly skeptical, though. The bot situation for new hardware is completely out of hand these days.

Looking to buy a X570 or B550 mobo. Mid to high end boards only, please. Let me know what you guys have. Thanks!

I was tempted (also on the Tomahawk wait list), but it doesn’t look like this board has Q-Flash. Since it’s going to need an update before I can pop a 5900x in it, I’d rather have the USB bios flash option.

I just got done working a mandatory 6 days per week for about 2.5 months straight. We were extremely behind, so we were in a crunch to get things back on track. It was the first time my company has ever enforced it since I've worked here, so it's not like this happens all the time or anything...

Same. I don't regret buying a 2080ti (I've had it for nearly 2 years), but I really was not expecting to see Nvidia price their new gen the way they did. That combined with the seemingly unprecedented performance jump really crushed the resale value of last gen cards. It's definitely a situation...

In both in-game benchmarks and in gameplay for games w/o a built in benchmark. edit: Keep in mind these are Nvidia chosen games, so they may be absolute best case scenario. It’s worth noting that DF mentions that and still says they’d ever really seen this big of a generational jump before.

Digital Foundry put out a video that shows the 3080 running about 80% faster than a 2080 in non-RTX games. In RTX situations, it got a little closer to the 2x number Jenson went on about. Either way, 80% over a 2080 is ridiculous. A 2080ti is what, 30% faster than a 2080? So you’re still looking...

Well RIP my 2080ti resale value.

Slowing down and being deliberate is definitely the way to go most of the time. I think it’s kind of cool that way since your uncle is always telling you to control your emotions and master yourself. Kinda fits the whole samurai theme. That does change a bit depending on the armor you’re...

Yeah....this is not a souls-like game by any means. The only thing it has in common with that genre is that it’s a 3rd person action game. Outside of that, they don’t really share much. It’s way more on The Witcher 3 and recent Assassins Creed category than anything.
