I would stick to a 1000w PSU given your system specs. You honestly don't need it unless you plan to go Intel or Threadripper. Unless of course you manage to find an equal quality 1200w PSU for the same price as the 1000w units you're looking at. At the price range you're looking at, $25...

That doesn't sound right. You should physically rearrange the monitors/monitor connections such that when you hit identify, the monitors should display 2-1-3 or 3-1-2. After that, you rearrange the monitors in the Windows display setting so that it matches what is identified. Edit: The reason...

Weird. Have you installed all of the AMD software? Specifically the Adrenalin Edition one.

Rearranging has always worked for me, including when I have monitors stacked. Are you sure it's applying the rearrangement correctly?

Rearrange the monitor physical location in display settings. You can drag the monitors around to match the setup.

This only works for monitors connected by DisplayPort. Other connections are interpreted as always active regardless of whether or not the monitor is on. The motherboard being used only has VGA, DVI, and HDMI connections. @OP try using the Project function in Windows. You should be able to...

And better yet, no random errors! https://hardforum.com/threads/13900k-out-of-video-memory-or-bsod-during-shader-compilation-in-two-ue5-games.2031265/

Indeed the difference is small. As small as the performance benefits that more cores provide in the games that do use them when comparing the 7800X3D to 7950X3D. Basically, the same argument for more cores providing the best performance can also be applied to restricting to only 1 CCD. Some...

Techspot's/Hardware Unboxed's review tells a different story. In their review, Cyberpunk 2077, Plague Tale: Requiem and Watch Dogs: Legion all performed worse on the dual CCD CPUs as compared to single CCD (including non-X3D parts). That's 25% of the games they tested, though admittedly a small...

That worked, thanks. I could have sworn notification categories was on for my phone as I did mess with them before. 6.1 probably turned it off by default or one of the esim swaps reset that. Still scummy and absurd either way.

Had my S23 Ultra since release, bought because Best Buy was offering good trade-in deals for an S9 and I needed to upgrade. Generally been happy with it though I have been annoyed with certain quirks- for example, changing esims forces a restart of the phone and resets the default apps, which is...

Count me in as one of those people who have a bunch of parts laying around but haven't bothered listing.

Eh, that's what X58 and X79 were (AMD didn't really compete back then). Intel and AMD either decided that the market was too small or they could make more money forcing enthusiasts into true workstation platforms if they wanted the additional capability. The prosumer motherboards that existed...

They knew exactly what they were doing- separating the market between consumer and workstation. This started with LGA2011 when dual-CPU models couldn't be overclocked unlike the LGA1366 dual-CPU brethren. X79 could do it. 990FX could do it. When multi-GPU setups fell out of favor and PCI-E...

There is significant reddit activity on Process Lasso helping minimums in certain games with the 5900X in 2023. This does show that if data is forced to cross between CCDs, there is significant latency in doing so. If data isn't crossing CCDs (latest Windows/AMD/Game Bar drivers help mitigate...

In an ideal world, yields would not be a problem with such a big die. Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world.

Unique case, but also says you don't need two vcache CCDs. One vcache ccd for gaming and one regular CCD to take care of background tasks is sufficient. I'm also assuming you have hardware acceleration for Skype disabled as that will shift the load from GPU to CPU.

It would be a very expensive CPU few people would buy. There's no performance benefit to having 16 V-cache cores. In fact, it would be a performance penalty in productivity apps. Almost none, and the games that do benefit from additional cores only benefit marginally. Hardware Unboxed/Techspot...

I'm not sure you won't run into problems with a dual CCD with v-cache design either. Latency between the CCDs has been a problem since the 5900X. More cores on the same CCD will give more consistent performance than multiple CCDs.

That is pathetic and hilarious at the same time. Karl's opening to the video is quite amusing as well, well done.

One of two things will happen when you overload a circuit: 1. If the fuse/circuit breaker is appropriately sized, you blow a fuse/trip the breaker and everything shuts down on that circuit. 2. If the fuse/circuit breaker is inappropriately sized, you start an electrical fire. How do you know 2...

As has been stated multiple times now, for that very niche budget workstation gamer. It makes sense for anyone who was considering the 7900X for the extra core count but also wants to game.

I don't use Youtube for tech reviews, much prefer the text format. Hogwarts Legacy, Spiderman, and Jedi Survivors all have single digit gains from 7800X3D to 7950X3D based on the article. That can easily be chalked up to max boost core speed differences. In fact, looking at the 7700X vs 7950X...

https://www.techspot.com/review/2821-amd-ryzen-7800x3d-7900x3d-7950x3d/ Techspot did an in-depth dive on the bastard child that is the 7900X3D, including testing out how a hypothetical 7600X3D would perform. In the context of this thread, my primary takeaway is that while some games can...

https://www.techspot.com/review/2821-amd-ryzen-7800x3d-7900x3d-7950x3d/ Most comprehensive review of the 7900X3D I've seen so far. They even tested with one CCD disabled for a hypothetical 7600X3D. My 2 takeaways from the review: The 7900X3D certainly has a limited market but is compelling at...

This thread feels like it devolved into something that should be in General Mayhem forum.

Not really as you don't know how the PSU side pinout. Few, if any, PSUs have labels depicting the voltage of each pin.

Hubs back then were simple. All they had to do was output 5v at anywhere from 500 mA to 1.5 A and the device connected takes care of the rest. USB PD is a completely different beast. I posted two standalone chargers above that can do USB-PD on multiple ports that wouldn't be any larger or...

I started with a Fry's special. Had no idea what I was buying back then, just picked whatever had the biggest sale/rebate. Bounced back and forth between nVidia and AMD a few times in the early days, haven't been upgrading much lately. 9600GT HD4850 GTX 275 SLI GTX 465 SLI (unlocked to GTX...

As far as I know, hubs like that do not supply PD to anything other than the primary connection. The other USB-C ports are 5v 0.5-1.5 A. @OP Here are two 100 watt charging options that are about the same size or smaller than a standard 65 watt laptop charger: https://a.co/d/22bvADd...

If you're looking for fewer things to carry, just get a 100-200 watt usb-c charging station and leave your dedicated laptop charger behind. If you're looking to stay super compact and don't need to charge your laptop while charging your other devices, get a 65 watt charging station. 65 watt...

I'm pretty sure he's looking for something that can take a USB-C PD input and divide it into multiple USB-C PD outputs. Unfortunately, I don't see something like this existing or would be more expensive than just buying one of the many generic USB-C PD multi-port chargers. The reason is this...

Xbox game bar- already included by default in Windows 10 and 11 and is not uninstallable without extensive digging. AMD chipset drivers- already installed to make your system function properly. Tell me where the extra is. I would not recommend anyone to buy a 16-core v-cache CPU because there...

You mean performance issues that existed and has since been resolved? Performance issues that has come up time and time again ever since the advent of Hyperthreading and logical cores? When Hyperthreading and Bulldozer were released, there was a need for drivers to tell the scheduler to fill...

Please, let me know how well your system runs without graphics card drivers. They should just work with the OS and DirectX or OpenGL, right? They shouldn't ever need to be updated to resolve performance issues. That's how ridiculous your argument is. You're making a mountain out of a molehill...

I don't have one and for my use case (primarily gaming, no productivity) I would get a 7800X3D. But I do recognize the benefits of a 7950X3D and your primary criticism of it is a non-issue at this point in time. It just doesn't make sense to me why you (and others) hate the idea of using...

You'll get worse productivity than the split core version and worrying about scheduling is largely a thing of the past. Despite how many times that's been repeated in this thread you still don't seem to get it. Current gen consoles are 8 cores utilizing Zen 2 architecture. Why haven't we fully...

And games are dependent on good graphics card drivers to make them run smoothly and efficiently. I don't see the problem here for that niche gamer that has a hobby on the side and doesn't want multiple systems. The 7950X3D also serves as the halo product for gamers for AMD. It might not matter...

Why in the hell is that a problem? It's not like the software is adding overhead like DRM does. And if you think about it, everything a human uses in modern computing requires underlying software to run it. You have the bios software that tells the OS what it's interacting with. Drivers tell...

While that could be true, the other trend I've seen is anything that can be massively paralleled ends up getting offloaded to the GPU or something similar. We might end up seeing embedded chiplets in the CPU package, motherboard, or auxiliary card for the sole purpose of AI upscaling, path...
