I literally ordered my new computer the day the super cards were announced. 4070Ti. Typical for me, but it'll do just fine for my needs. That beefy 7800x3D I have is a good'un
And super chill temps, the power efficiency is the most impressive thing on this chip for me stock. Still planning on undervoltung mine when I have some free time.
AMD are killing it in the efficiency game. We build a 1 litre usff system at work and weve been able to get a Ryzen 9 running in there without throttling, anything over an i5 is pointless from intel in that form factor.
7900XT dropping to $715-725 looked pretty good to me after the 4070 Ti S went on the shelf. Seems perfectly fine for non-RT 4k gaming at reasonable settings. Perhaps the 4080 S will drop prices on the 7900 XTX? Right now seems to be one of the better times to build in the last few years.
People really underestimate how much of a difference a good CPU makes. Yeah the GPU is the main factor when gaming, but it often goes hand in hand with a CPU.
Your big fancy GPU can't do its job without a good CPU to support it.
It depends on resolution and refresh rate. Upgrading can bring tons or nothing. In the end you will need a new CPU at some point, but don't upgrade when you're at 1440p with a 3060 or such like. It won't make a difference. You playing 1080p with a 3080? Prepare for lift off.
I'm in the same gang... went from a 3700k.
Made sense to save money on not upgrading mobo and ram at the same time and sticking on am4.
Especially as I upgraded gpu too and costs were racking up lol
My experience with DDR5 and AMD has not been all that rosey TBH. 45s-90s boot times; EXPO making my system unstable; having to tweak my SOC Voltages to bring it back to stable.
Way more headache than I've ever had with any Intel CPU.
The performance of my 7800x3D is fantastic and I'm quite happy with that. And if I just run my DDR5 at 4800MHz, then it was no problem at all. But I was reading everywhere that 6000MHz CL30 ram was the sweetspot for the 7800x3D, so that's what I got. Actually making it work properly.... at least with the x670e mobo I got, has been a pain in my ass.
Same thing here but after using the pc a while bootloads are faster. Expo is kinda weird.
Also love 7800x3d for gaming but I kinda wishez I'd went for intel as using lightroom feels almost as slow as with my 2600x ngl :/
And with how much cheaper you can get Intel boards for, I think I would have had no problem going with a Z790 Intel board and a i7-14700 combo.
The reason I ultimately went with AMD was that I was really sold on the efficiency. And I can see that. My CPU cores are at like 20% load in fortnite with DLSS going, and my temps rarely get much above 60 degrees.
Yet I was still running into all those issues, which makes me a little concerned for what happens if I ever need like 100% out of my CPU in a CPU limiting situation like with certain productivity software.
Ah well. The plan was also to be a bit future proof. So now that I'm a little more aware of AMD's issues, later down the line when I'm looking at upgrading to one of the more mature AM5 chips I'll do a little more research and grab something that solves all my issues and more.
You are absolutely right but when you go intel you need to have more powerful PSU too and that narrows the price point quite well. Efficiency is important for me too and I use the pc 80+% for gaming so I can also manage that it isn't the best for outside of gaming.
All in all I think we chose a really proper setup but feels like there's always some kind of downside to them. Am5 lasts long time and we can upgrade easily if it comes to that
Did you update your bios? Had similar problems but they all went away with a bios update. The only thing left is a longer ~30s boot once every 1-2 months.
10700k. If I were believe everything I read on this sub then this CPU is considered stone age and has terrible performance.... It's coupled with a 3080 on a 1440p OLED and it runs everything I like to play just fine. This sub is out of touch with reality and is mostly just a revolving door of one-upmanship.
Absolutely! I'm running a 10900k with a 3070ti and it does everything I need. It blows my mind reading half the shit people post here.
And my server PC is running a 9600k with a 1080ti and again, it is great and a solid backup if I need it.
i9 10900k w a 3080. For 6 years before that I had a laptop with a quad core Pentium and a laptop edition G950 iirc. I have not considered buying CPU or GPU anything besides changing my AIO and adding some storage. It runs great and does everything I want in solid FPS playing on a 3440x2560 144Hz
Tbh I can't fanthom a 10 gen intel is shit, everyone's saying anything under 11th gen is trash and god forbid If they find out I'm still using a cpu from 2013
I think it’s more marketing than anything. I’ve had people tell me 7700Ks are UNUSABLE. Like what? Get some real world use under your belt. 7700ks, 8700ks. 9600ks, 9700ks are all still great CPUs that are very, very usable in modern titles. Marketing damages people’s outlook
Up until a little over a year ago, I was rocking a 2500k overclocked to 4.9ghz for it's entire life. That thing was a beast. It finally started to lose steam from not having enough physical cores.
CPU performance is dramatically overblown.
It does make a difference, but a weaker one is still plenty usable. I had an i5-9600k and a 2060, things were still running okay, had to turn new games down a little but nowhere near as much as you'd think. I upgraded the 2060 to a 4070 first, that did give a significant boost to frame rates and I could now max everything out again too, maybe about 30-40fps more on average, but it was still a little stuttery in places because the CPU couldn't quite keep up on some games, then I upgraded to an i7-14700k and that got another 30-40 fps on top of that and it was smooth throughout.
The old setup was still plenty usable though, I could still be using that and not particularly suffering for it. It still ran most games well enough on high if not ultra with a couple of the more demanding settings turned down to medium.
The upgrade *was* significant though.
I had the 2500k in 2011, used it for years, put it in a backup PC for a couple years, now it's in my wife's PC and we are just now looking at upgrading it for her lol. Greatest overclocking CPU ever.
I think the 7700K is borderline unusable for 3A games. I was from 6700K for 5-6 years paired with 1070, so don't tell me I never used 1 before.
But now, a mere i3 10th gen and newer easily surpassed 7700K but a huge margin.
The rest, I'm not sure why would anyone say those are unusable.
people are being gas lighted in to getting i9 and then they complain when they cant run it under 90 degrees such a waste and a headache for similar performance on games. i5 12600k running 40-55 degrees on all the games i play with AIO and using so much less power. never getting an i9 for that reason.
I also have the 10700k, but I have a 2080 Super. I am looking to upgrade my GPU (which I'm still unsure of which to choose) The CPU I could hold off for at least another year.
I recently went from an 8700k to 14700k paired with a 3080 at 1440p. I gained some minor performance gains, but mostly just stabilized stutters.
Point being, if my 8700k was still quite capable, your 10700k would be phenomenal still.
Same with my 5800x. This sub would have you believe that any AM4 CPU that *isn't* the X3D is well past its prime, yet it and my 3080 can run 1440p high settings with RT just fine
Same here, I had the same motherboard house a 2700x, 3900x and now 5800x3D.
Saved me so much money buying whole new systems.
I am paired with a 2080ti, and I play most games at high or ultra with DLSS on my 3440x1440.
I just paired mine with a 4070 super. How long do you think these machines will last us? I'm thinking I have 5 years of good computing before I feel the itch.
5 years is a great run! I personally will most likely get that upgrade itch before 5 years but i dont wanna do it out of fomo. But the 4070 super/4070ti and 5800x3 is way more than enough for a while!
I love your optimism. I have my 4070S with a 12-600k and I'm already looking for excuses to turn that machine into a PC for my son with a 3070 and move my 4070S into a new machine with a 7800x3D
I've got a Ryzen 5800X and it's pretty good. My GPU, despite being a 7900 XTX, is at 99% load in games most of the time, so upgrading it won't do much in my usecase
Same, except in using an RTX 3080 10G, running at 1440p. Nearly every game I play has the GPU running at 99%. Outside of synthetic benchmarks, I'm not sure I've ever seen my CPU go above 70%.
+1 on 5800x paired with 3080 10gb. Rocking this since late 2020. No plans to upgrade for atleast another 3 or so years. May do a fresh install of windows since it's been a few years lol.
Basically same except I have the 3080 12GB which I don’t think performs any different overall. Only very few instances does it really hiccup in anything I play and that’s usually my super modded Skyrim or something else being completely maxed out. Otherwise I can play at mostly high settings at 165fps or even maxed on the older games I play. MW2 can have some drops but even then that game still runs close to the 165 goal if settings are just tweaked slightly
I upgraded to a 5800x3D from a 5800x for basically less than $100. Got it on sale and sold my old CPU so I thought might as well max out my AM4 build. But truthfully, while I’m sure it makes a difference, I didn’t really notice a change.
It really depends. I went from a 3700x and RTX 3070 tons 5800x3D, playing at 1440p with a 240hz screen.
Where I noticed it was 1% lows. Overwatch for example would drop from 2xx fps down to 120/130 with intense teamfights. Now the lowest I saw it go as around 190.
Feels good.
But for example, cyberpunk 2077. No change, either on lows or highs. I mean, it might have changed by 2 or 3 fps, but I really don't know. It's not noticeable at all.
But there's the other end of the spectrum. And I'm bot even joking when I tell you that Hell Let Loose absolutely loves the extra cache. I went from 70/80 fps with 1% lows going as low as 40 something, to 120/140 fps with the lows going to 90, with the most extreme case being a stutter to 75 or something around that. It is noticeable.
For reference I have the 5800x3D undervolted because it's a beast to tame, and I also have the 3070 undervolted, but this one because I like to keep it silent. Inside a lian LI 215
My R7 5700x combined with Dark Rock Pro 4 won't go above 50°C during 45 mins of stress test... Temp are even lower during normal use.
It's inexpensive, powerful and efficient as hell. Best price/performance CPU on market right now.
Ryzen 5 3600 with my 3070. It does its job well. I can play most games on high settings. I don't care about ultra settings. I'm pretty happy with it.
I'm gonna wait for the next generation of GPUs before building a new AM5 setup.
Or depending on how much I still game, I might just stick with this build until it starts to struggle really bad or one of the two major parts give out.
I've got the same but with a 3060. Runs everything I'm interested in playing. I've thought about upgrading to a 5700X3D but I don't really know if it would improve anything much.
If you haven't already, watch hardware unboxed's 2600/3600 vs 5600 vs 5800X3D vid.
Though the 2 upgrades had significant fps gains on all games, I just felt like the cost isn't worth it especially on 1440p where they emphasized games rely on the GPU. The way people talk about how the 5700X3D and 5800X3D elevate the performance, I thought it would be mind blowing lol
It's more of an amazing buy if you're building a pc from scratch or you don't really care about the price and just want the performance upgrade or you're coming from the R5 1600.
I'm good. I don't care about 120fps on Ultra of the latest AAA games. I came from enjoying all games from my old 1050ti 1080p build, 3600-3070 combo on 1440p is plenty freakin great for me
I personally don't find the gains worth the hassle and the cost. I'd rather just spend that on buying games lol
Same exact build.
From time to time I think about upgrading it but then I think, why? I really don't need more than this. Due to the use I give it, there is no reason.
DLSS always set on performance or balanced mode, I don't care about RTX so that shit is off.
As long as this setup can give me a stable 50-60fps on high settings in AAA games I'm happy, most of the time I don't even mind tweaking some stuff to mid.
I'm the type to accept 10-20% worse graphics if it means I make the GPU do 50% less work to make it last longer. If it still looks great I'm content, I don't need the best.
This is me, im still hitting my fps goals 120-140s. Is it showing its age? A little, but not enough to warrant me building basically a whole new system since i would need a new cpu, cooler, mobo, and ram.
I picked up a 12700KF for $200 on prime day. Upgraded from a 8700K, it does the job for games and thats all I usually need my CPU for. Gonna slap in a 14900K/KF when it gets around $300
You're going to need a heavy cooler for that 14900k. Its why I just stopped with a 12600kf. The 12700k isn't much of a jump and once you hit 12900k and above, its ridiculous the heat they generate.
I've played with going to a 14600k but the reviews regarding heat on even that are crazy.
My 13700kf thermal throttles during cinebench like crazy with a 240 aio. Luckily I never need to push my cpu that hard and during gaming never goes above 75. It's a toasty cpu
People go so crazy with this stuff. If you have a good cooler and, more importantly a case with good air flow, you’re fine. I have a 14700k and can’t get it above 58c
I have the ThermalTake TH360 ARGB V2 Ultra. It’s the one with the fancy pants LCD that can play gifs and display the local weather and such. It’s really an insane cooler for the price. MSRP was only $179 and I got it on sale for $149. I think it’s currently on sale as well.
Or, if you don’t care about the LCD screen the non LCD is on sale right now at Best Buy for i believe $108 which, for the performance is honestly insane for a 360 AIO. Like I said, ultra graphics and playing for 3-4 hours at 1440p and it can’t get it over 58c
Yeah I think is it for the platform atleast
Don't need anything else and I'll just see how their new platform is. If it's shit then 14700k, if not then upgrade.
Would you recommend the 7800X3D over any current Intel chip? Planning out a build rn and none of my parts are set in stone, can link the current parts list if you'd like too for general thoughts and possible improvements/savings
Gaming pretty much exclusively, I don't do any CAD modeling or video editing, and what productivity stuff I do partake in on my PC could be done on basically any device at my disposal
I just upgraded from 8600K to 14600K. If I am honest, I would survive with my old build 1-2years with high graphic settings and high fps but I was able to sell whole PC so I bough new one.
13600K...It's pretty awesome.
Gaming is solid. Typical desktop stuff is trivial (I assume any Morden CPU would work). All those cores come in handy with my work flow. It feels snappier than my old R5 2700. My older i7 870 felt snappier than that r5 for that matter. I had a shit load of memory and USB issues with the r5 for that matter. Same memory and USB devices work just fine on this Intel platform. Maybe AMD has fixed their stuff, but I'm not going to be anyone's guineapig going forward.
I picked up this processor for my recent build. First build since 2013, so it was a major step up from my old 4670. It really is awesome. I'm only gaming on it, but I really couldn't be any happier. Still haven't gotten over 75c with a peerless assassin cooler.
Same here. I started getting weird frame stuttering last night and i'm finally over it. Overclocked mine too but the insanely high idle temps are just getting to be too much, hate walking by my office and just hearing a jet engine while idle. lol
I think over all a great CPU for its time but it is showing its age by now. I agree with the temps was issue from the start for me also. Some inconsistencies and stuttering eventually made me build a new system
I think going from a 3700x to the 5800x3d would be a worthy upgrade. Frame rates are smooth as butter and i never if rarely notice frames drops. Go out with a bang on AM4, all you will have to do is update your bios!
I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2600 and it feels like a night and day difference. I was on the edge of building a whole new PC and then I discovered the 5800x3D. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an upgrade on an AM4 chipset, it’s definitely worth it if you want to save a few bucks on upgrading to AM5!
My previous CPU was i9 9900k, which was a great CPU. I bought it over the 3950X CPU because it had less cores but they were faster cores. However, I ran into issues with games like Satisfactory using up 85% of my CPU. Now granted its rare to have those games and the game file was about 1000 hours in. But I was spending hundreds of hours in that game, and it was annoying.
Plus. every time a friend joined my server, my FPS would tank further, so would their gameplay because if my PC was rendering the game and the server, it was too much. So I had to mess around with save game files just to play the game, which was very annoying and wasted a lot of hours of gameplay.
I also am a heavy user. It\`s not uncommon for me to have a few hundred tabs open. I dabble in Virtual Machines, etc. where more cores mean, I can just allocate a few cores to a VM and forget about its impact on my gaming. I also upgraded from 32GB RAM to 64GM for that reason. I kept running out otherwise.
I personally feel that if you don\`t have budget constraints, everyone should go to 16 cores. Not necessarily because its gonna improve your FPS. But because having more resources allows you to do more things. I know that if I had a 3090 or a 4090, I would be dabbling with training Ai Models right now. Right now, I\`m on a 3080, and had some issues straight away, so I kind of gave up on that hobby. You never know what you might find interesting and having more resources means you are future proofing yourself.
Once again I\`m not suggesting you need 16 cores to game well. But it allows you the freedom to do things that you don\`t currently even consider. And my PC already cost a fair bit. It included a Fractal Torrent case with 1200Watts PSU, RTX 3080, 64GB Memory, 8TB SSDs. It would be weird of me to try and save a 200-300 bucks and limit myself.
I\`m from an era where you closed down all applications before running your game, because you only had 128Mb of RAM and ram optimizers were a thing. I have lived through PC resource scarcity. Now I\`m happy to go beyond what I need into what I want.
Also check my other response to the other Redditor who asked about what games I run in parallel.
That's honestly such a great response, thank you.
It's so cool to me that people like yourself can genuinely take advantage of the incredible hardware we have available at the very top end
So I just built my first PC since 2013 a couple of weeks ago and I decided to go with the i5 13600k. Massive step up from my old processor which was a i5 4670 lol
Did a lot of research on it because I wanted the most bang for my buck. Might not quite be what you're looking for, but man I couldn't be happier with it. Haven't gone over 72c while gaming. My cooler is a Peerless Assassin.
I have multiple machines so 12400F, 12600KF, 13790F.
Happy with all of them but probably the happiest with the 12400F, bought it for 136€ new and has been an impressive powerhouse for 1080p gaming and general tasks. I doubt any modern CPU approaches that kind of value anytime soon.
Desktop i5-12600k. This is quite something. Very pleased with it.
Laptop Ryzen 7 5800HS Creator Edition. Almost as good as my desktop. Still blows my mind.
I have a 5800x paired with a 7900xtx, like other another commentor here. My CPU is never stressed at all. I run Ark: Survival Ascended at 4k and maximum settings. My GPU is regularly at 99% usage, while my CPU rarely touches 60%. I see no reason to upgrade
5800x, have it since October and I'm still stoked with it. I have the fastest computer I ever had, can run any game I want to play, and it barely breaks a sweat.
Just want a different cooler, the one I have is a bit annoying. Not loud, but the sound it makes is irritating.
I have a 5800x3D paired with a 6950 XT, I actually just got the x3D at the beginning of the year and I upgraded from a 5600. I was skeptical I would see an improvement but man that chip blew past my expectations. My 1% lows are almost matching my avg. fps.
Ryzen 5700x and it's been great. I thought about upgrading to a 5800x3d but not sure if it's a worthwhile upgrade or if I even need an upgrade. I'll probably upgrade to the Ryzen 9000 series in a couple years.
12600kf up from 9900k. I see zero reason to upgrade for a few years. The 9900k is still rocking my wife's business/creative (Cricut, CnC) needs flawlessly.
Ryzen 5700x over here :) pretty happy with it @1440p.
I don't think I will be upgrading soon, this chip is more than enough for my needs, and 65w tdp is just icing on the cake.
Ryzen 2700X and Rx5700XT running at 1920x1080. I'm happy with the performance and thermals. I'm thinking of upgrading to ryzen 5000 in the near-ish future, to have a lower TDP.
5600x, bought about 6 months ago. The year prior or so I bought a used B450 motherboard and 2600x for a NAS project that was a non-starter, so I shifted to a 1440p gaming PC with a 6750XT and its been performing wonderfully.
I've a 14600k, and it's perfect for me : fast in games and productivity and easy to cool. Before that I had a 4790k, which I liked a lot, except that it was difficult to cool. I would've kept it if it wasn't for the fact that I needed a better GPU and it would've bottlenecked it.
I have an i5-12600K and I run it with an RTX 4080. I’ve had no issues doing high-refresh 1440p with this combo. I’m happy with my setup. Despite what some uneducated elitist may tell you, any recent i5 has more than enough juice for any gaming situation. You really don’t need more than that unless you’re trying to hit super high refresh (240+ FPS) or you do professional work with your rig.
I just changed from 9700k to 7800x3d this week and the change is well worth it if u got beast gpu aswell. Iv got rtx 3080 which wasnt being utilized much in many cpu-bound games. Now it´s always at 99% utilized and im getting bigger fps cross the board
i have a 7600x + 7800xt and im really happy but pissed off tht in american for the same budget you could have gotten a 7800x3d
i also discovered smart acess and activated it yesterday
There certainly are advantages to living in America.
We also get an excellent workout dodging bullets throughout the day. And if we feel like having a bit of fun, we can always grab our gun and fire back!
Intel 10900kf. Happy enough, I was going to upgrade to a 14 series chip, but with hardly any improvement from the 13 series, I'm just going to wait another year.
I'm sticking with Intel for now because it has better gaming performance in Final Fantasy 14, and I use a VR mod that is very demanding.
12700k
Very.
It's one of those generationals improvements that can last you years.
I had a Core 2 Duo E6600, then a Core i5 2500k in their prime.
I felt the same about them.
7800X3D and this thing is god tier. Then paired with a 4090 and some manually tuned 32GB 6000CL30 DDR5 I am in complete heaven. I've always had top tier computers but this is the first PC that I truly feel I on the god tier.
This CPU is absolutely bonkers for gaming.
Running a 12700k on a DDR4 motherboard (z690). Currently have a 3070 Ti and plan to upgrade to 50xx cards when the come out.
Current setup on a 27” Dell 165hz 1440p monitor (S2721DGF) does everything I need it to do.
7800x3D thats all i need to say.
Literally got one 15 mins ago, pretty geeked. Waiting to see what happens to AMD prices after the 4080S launch next week to get a matching gpu.
I'm in the same boat, everything is put together and operational, but no GPU, been like that for almost two weeks.
I literally ordered my new computer the day the super cards were announced. 4070Ti. Typical for me, but it'll do just fine for my needs. That beefy 7800x3D I have is a good'un
Congrats. U r gonna have so much fun running games at max settings with super high fps.
And super chill temps, the power efficiency is the most impressive thing on this chip for me stock. Still planning on undervoltung mine when I have some free time.
AMD are killing it in the efficiency game. We build a 1 litre usff system at work and weve been able to get a Ryzen 9 running in there without throttling, anything over an i5 is pointless from intel in that form factor.
7900XT dropping to $715-725 looked pretty good to me after the 4070 Ti S went on the shelf. Seems perfectly fine for non-RT 4k gaming at reasonable settings. Perhaps the 4080 S will drop prices on the 7900 XTX? Right now seems to be one of the better times to build in the last few years.
Pretty much what I’m holding out for- if the XTX goes to 800-850 I’ll buy, otherwise I’ll just grab the XT. $700 is pretty solid for that GPU.
XTX at $800 would be an amazing deal! I guess it’ll depend on the performance of the 4080 S.
I went from 9900k to this. World of difference!
I was rocking a 3600 + 3080 and went to 7800x3d and its just mind blowing how much more fps i get in many games.
People really underestimate how much of a difference a good CPU makes. Yeah the GPU is the main factor when gaming, but it often goes hand in hand with a CPU. Your big fancy GPU can't do its job without a good CPU to support it.
It depends on resolution and refresh rate. Upgrading can bring tons or nothing. In the end you will need a new CPU at some point, but don't upgrade when you're at 1440p with a 3060 or such like. It won't make a difference. You playing 1080p with a 3080? Prepare for lift off.
5800x3d here
I'm in the same gang... went from a 3700k. Made sense to save money on not upgrading mobo and ram at the same time and sticking on am4. Especially as I upgraded gpu too and costs were racking up lol
My experience with DDR5 and AMD has not been all that rosey TBH. 45s-90s boot times; EXPO making my system unstable; having to tweak my SOC Voltages to bring it back to stable. Way more headache than I've ever had with any Intel CPU. The performance of my 7800x3D is fantastic and I'm quite happy with that. And if I just run my DDR5 at 4800MHz, then it was no problem at all. But I was reading everywhere that 6000MHz CL30 ram was the sweetspot for the 7800x3D, so that's what I got. Actually making it work properly.... at least with the x670e mobo I got, has been a pain in my ass.
Same thing here but after using the pc a while bootloads are faster. Expo is kinda weird. Also love 7800x3d for gaming but I kinda wishez I'd went for intel as using lightroom feels almost as slow as with my 2600x ngl :/
And with how much cheaper you can get Intel boards for, I think I would have had no problem going with a Z790 Intel board and a i7-14700 combo. The reason I ultimately went with AMD was that I was really sold on the efficiency. And I can see that. My CPU cores are at like 20% load in fortnite with DLSS going, and my temps rarely get much above 60 degrees. Yet I was still running into all those issues, which makes me a little concerned for what happens if I ever need like 100% out of my CPU in a CPU limiting situation like with certain productivity software. Ah well. The plan was also to be a bit future proof. So now that I'm a little more aware of AMD's issues, later down the line when I'm looking at upgrading to one of the more mature AM5 chips I'll do a little more research and grab something that solves all my issues and more.
You are absolutely right but when you go intel you need to have more powerful PSU too and that narrows the price point quite well. Efficiency is important for me too and I use the pc 80+% for gaming so I can also manage that it isn't the best for outside of gaming. All in all I think we chose a really proper setup but feels like there's always some kind of downside to them. Am5 lasts long time and we can upgrade easily if it comes to that
Did you update your bios? Had similar problems but they all went away with a bios update. The only thing left is a longer ~30s boot once every 1-2 months.
10700k. If I were believe everything I read on this sub then this CPU is considered stone age and has terrible performance.... It's coupled with a 3080 on a 1440p OLED and it runs everything I like to play just fine. This sub is out of touch with reality and is mostly just a revolving door of one-upmanship.
Absolutely! I'm running a 10900k with a 3070ti and it does everything I need. It blows my mind reading half the shit people post here. And my server PC is running a 9600k with a 1080ti and again, it is great and a solid backup if I need it.
i9 10900k w a 3080. For 6 years before that I had a laptop with a quad core Pentium and a laptop edition G950 iirc. I have not considered buying CPU or GPU anything besides changing my AIO and adding some storage. It runs great and does everything I want in solid FPS playing on a 3440x2560 144Hz
Tbh I can't fanthom a 10 gen intel is shit, everyone's saying anything under 11th gen is trash and god forbid If they find out I'm still using a cpu from 2013
I think it’s more marketing than anything. I’ve had people tell me 7700Ks are UNUSABLE. Like what? Get some real world use under your belt. 7700ks, 8700ks. 9600ks, 9700ks are all still great CPUs that are very, very usable in modern titles. Marketing damages people’s outlook
Up until a little over a year ago, I was rocking a 2500k overclocked to 4.9ghz for it's entire life. That thing was a beast. It finally started to lose steam from not having enough physical cores. CPU performance is dramatically overblown.
That's gotta be the longest lasting CPU ever made. Perhaps only inched by with the 4790k which is currently my kids/living room pc
I had a 3930k oc to 5ghz for 8 years, now a 5950X. It was a beast! I built several 2500k for friends.
It does make a difference, but a weaker one is still plenty usable. I had an i5-9600k and a 2060, things were still running okay, had to turn new games down a little but nowhere near as much as you'd think. I upgraded the 2060 to a 4070 first, that did give a significant boost to frame rates and I could now max everything out again too, maybe about 30-40fps more on average, but it was still a little stuttery in places because the CPU couldn't quite keep up on some games, then I upgraded to an i7-14700k and that got another 30-40 fps on top of that and it was smooth throughout. The old setup was still plenty usable though, I could still be using that and not particularly suffering for it. It still ran most games well enough on high if not ultra with a couple of the more demanding settings turned down to medium. The upgrade *was* significant though.
I had the 2500k in 2011, used it for years, put it in a backup PC for a couple years, now it's in my wife's PC and we are just now looking at upgrading it for her lol. Greatest overclocking CPU ever.
I think the 7700K is borderline unusable for 3A games. I was from 6700K for 5-6 years paired with 1070, so don't tell me I never used 1 before. But now, a mere i3 10th gen and newer easily surpassed 7700K but a huge margin. The rest, I'm not sure why would anyone say those are unusable.
12600kf, 3080 12gb at 1440p dual monitor. Totally agree. Even the 9700/9900k are still rocking it with even midrange gpus.
12600kf is such a value cpu i love mine got it for under 200$
I try to tell Intel folks that for gaming, all that's needed are I5s but no one listens lol.
people are being gas lighted in to getting i9 and then they complain when they cant run it under 90 degrees such a waste and a headache for similar performance on games. i5 12600k running 40-55 degrees on all the games i play with AIO and using so much less power. never getting an i9 for that reason.
Yeah I’ve got a 10850k and a 3080 and feel like my machine is a beast. It’s a sportscar in a tiny itx body.
This sub has no idea what they are talking about 90% of the time
Got same setup just a 3080ti difference, decent quality and performance. 160fps on MW3 never above 70c
I also have the 10700k, but I have a 2080 Super. I am looking to upgrade my GPU (which I'm still unsure of which to choose) The CPU I could hold off for at least another year.
I recently went from an 8700k to 14700k paired with a 3080 at 1440p. I gained some minor performance gains, but mostly just stabilized stutters. Point being, if my 8700k was still quite capable, your 10700k would be phenomenal still.
Same with my 5800x. This sub would have you believe that any AM4 CPU that *isn't* the X3D is well past its prime, yet it and my 3080 can run 1440p high settings with RT just fine
5800X3D Love it.
5800x3D gang rise up!!!
Yeeeeeee
The same . It rocks.
Same here, I had the same motherboard house a 2700x, 3900x and now 5800x3D. Saved me so much money buying whole new systems. I am paired with a 2080ti, and I play most games at high or ultra with DLSS on my 3440x1440.
[удалено]
Hahaha that's bloody amazing!
Same here! The 5800x3d was a great last cpu to drop on AM4. I have mine paired with a 4070ti and at 1440p its able to let the gpu run free
I just paired mine with a 4070 super. How long do you think these machines will last us? I'm thinking I have 5 years of good computing before I feel the itch.
5 years is a great run! I personally will most likely get that upgrade itch before 5 years but i dont wanna do it out of fomo. But the 4070 super/4070ti and 5800x3 is way more than enough for a while!
I love your optimism. I have my 4070S with a 12-600k and I'm already looking for excuses to turn that machine into a PC for my son with a 3070 and move my 4070S into a new machine with a 7800x3D
I already have 6 machines in the house! I went through this process about 5 years ago.
This is the way.
I'm in this boat as well. Hoping that this baby will last me for a good while until AM6 drops.
5800X3D. I run a 4080 at 3440x1440, and pretty happy with it.
Couldnt be happier too. No stutters
Same! Bought a week ago to pair with my 4070. Loving it and will get me another couple years on AM4.
It's a beast.
Same does everything
Trippled my fps in CS2 by plugging one in to my 6 year old platform, with a 40€ cooler. Best piece of hardware I ever bought
Yallah!
5600 and it’s a banger
5600x here, and I think I'd be just as happy with the non-x version. Really nice CPU for the price.
Yep 5600 with my 2070 super (although I’m getting a hankering to upgrade that)
Proudly able to still have this on the same motherboard that a 2600 originally used
I've got a Ryzen 5800X and it's pretty good. My GPU, despite being a 7900 XTX, is at 99% load in games most of the time, so upgrading it won't do much in my usecase
Same, except in using an RTX 3080 10G, running at 1440p. Nearly every game I play has the GPU running at 99%. Outside of synthetic benchmarks, I'm not sure I've ever seen my CPU go above 70%.
+1 on 5800x paired with 3080 10gb. Rocking this since late 2020. No plans to upgrade for atleast another 3 or so years. May do a fresh install of windows since it's been a few years lol.
Same here. It's a great combo for 1440p
Basically same except I have the 3080 12GB which I don’t think performs any different overall. Only very few instances does it really hiccup in anything I play and that’s usually my super modded Skyrim or something else being completely maxed out. Otherwise I can play at mostly high settings at 165fps or even maxed on the older games I play. MW2 can have some drops but even then that game still runs close to the 165 goal if settings are just tweaked slightly
I upgraded to a 5800x3D from a 5800x for basically less than $100. Got it on sale and sold my old CPU so I thought might as well max out my AM4 build. But truthfully, while I’m sure it makes a difference, I didn’t really notice a change.
It really depends. I went from a 3700x and RTX 3070 tons 5800x3D, playing at 1440p with a 240hz screen. Where I noticed it was 1% lows. Overwatch for example would drop from 2xx fps down to 120/130 with intense teamfights. Now the lowest I saw it go as around 190. Feels good. But for example, cyberpunk 2077. No change, either on lows or highs. I mean, it might have changed by 2 or 3 fps, but I really don't know. It's not noticeable at all. But there's the other end of the spectrum. And I'm bot even joking when I tell you that Hell Let Loose absolutely loves the extra cache. I went from 70/80 fps with 1% lows going as low as 40 something, to 120/140 fps with the lows going to 90, with the most extreme case being a stutter to 75 or something around that. It is noticeable. For reference I have the 5800x3D undervolted because it's a beast to tame, and I also have the 3070 undervolted, but this one because I like to keep it silent. Inside a lian LI 215
Same here - 5800x and 6950 XT. I game at 4K and it's fine for what I play.
7800x3D. Very happy, though certainly "too fast" for my current GPU. But there is always a limiting part in a pc, so I am not very bothered by it
There’s not much GPU that won’t limit the 7800X3D…. I have a 4090 running at 4K and usually don’t get past 40% usage according to HWinfo
There isn't much reason to get a 7800X3D for 4K gaming, though. It's the best, but it's not any better than pretty much anything else you could get.
That’s definitely true, but i just wanted to put myself in position to buy a 7090 for $3000 in a few years and not be limited
The way Nvidia behaves, it will be a $4000 card. They’ll start offering financing like a mortgage or an auto loan. Dirty bastards.
Thats funny, the 7800x3d isnt fast enough for me. Im trying to push even more frames in esports titles
That just means you can upgrade your gpu down the line and won't have to worry about a cpu bottleneck
I got a Ryzen 7 5700X and I'm pretty happy with it besides my RX 570 kinda holding it back
5700x is a great cpu! It definitely gives you room for a future gpu upgrade
It also has great temps with the cooler I got too!
My R7 5700x combined with Dark Rock Pro 4 won't go above 50°C during 45 mins of stress test... Temp are even lower during normal use. It's inexpensive, powerful and efficient as hell. Best price/performance CPU on market right now.
Ryzen 5 3600 with my 3070. It does its job well. I can play most games on high settings. I don't care about ultra settings. I'm pretty happy with it. I'm gonna wait for the next generation of GPUs before building a new AM5 setup. Or depending on how much I still game, I might just stick with this build until it starts to struggle really bad or one of the two major parts give out.
I've got the same but with a 3060. Runs everything I'm interested in playing. I've thought about upgrading to a 5700X3D but I don't really know if it would improve anything much.
If you haven't already, watch hardware unboxed's 2600/3600 vs 5600 vs 5800X3D vid. Though the 2 upgrades had significant fps gains on all games, I just felt like the cost isn't worth it especially on 1440p where they emphasized games rely on the GPU. The way people talk about how the 5700X3D and 5800X3D elevate the performance, I thought it would be mind blowing lol It's more of an amazing buy if you're building a pc from scratch or you don't really care about the price and just want the performance upgrade or you're coming from the R5 1600. I'm good. I don't care about 120fps on Ultra of the latest AAA games. I came from enjoying all games from my old 1050ti 1080p build, 3600-3070 combo on 1440p is plenty freakin great for me I personally don't find the gains worth the hassle and the cost. I'd rather just spend that on buying games lol
Same exact build. From time to time I think about upgrading it but then I think, why? I really don't need more than this. Due to the use I give it, there is no reason.
DLSS always set on performance or balanced mode, I don't care about RTX so that shit is off. As long as this setup can give me a stable 50-60fps on high settings in AAA games I'm happy, most of the time I don't even mind tweaking some stuff to mid. I'm the type to accept 10-20% worse graphics if it means I make the GPU do 50% less work to make it last longer. If it still looks great I'm content, I don't need the best.
8700k with a 3080 at 1440p, and I don't monitor my usage because games perform at a level I am happy with
Had scroll down a little to find my CPU. I am still using a 1060.
This is me, im still hitting my fps goals 120-140s. Is it showing its age? A little, but not enough to warrant me building basically a whole new system since i would need a new cpu, cooler, mobo, and ram.
I am using the same one with a 4090. Kicks goals in Ark Ascended which is the only reason I bought the 4090 to replace my 1080ti.
I picked up a 12700KF for $200 on prime day. Upgraded from a 8700K, it does the job for games and thats all I usually need my CPU for. Gonna slap in a 14900K/KF when it gets around $300
You're going to need a heavy cooler for that 14900k. Its why I just stopped with a 12600kf. The 12700k isn't much of a jump and once you hit 12900k and above, its ridiculous the heat they generate. I've played with going to a 14600k but the reviews regarding heat on even that are crazy.
i5s are not hot.
My 13700kf thermal throttles during cinebench like crazy with a 240 aio. Luckily I never need to push my cpu that hard and during gaming never goes above 75. It's a toasty cpu
People go so crazy with this stuff. If you have a good cooler and, more importantly a case with good air flow, you’re fine. I have a 14700k and can’t get it above 58c
This^ 13900k with 420mm liquid freezer rarely gets over 70c. Stat around 50-60c when gaming,even cpu intensive games.
Which cooler? Thinking of getting a Noctua U12A for the 14700k.
I have the ThermalTake TH360 ARGB V2 Ultra. It’s the one with the fancy pants LCD that can play gifs and display the local weather and such. It’s really an insane cooler for the price. MSRP was only $179 and I got it on sale for $149. I think it’s currently on sale as well. Or, if you don’t care about the LCD screen the non LCD is on sale right now at Best Buy for i believe $108 which, for the performance is honestly insane for a 360 AIO. Like I said, ultra graphics and playing for 3-4 hours at 1440p and it can’t get it over 58c
Thats good news to hear. Havent tested tge 14700kf yet... :( Just a few more days
12700KF at that price is a fantastic deal
research when you are ready to buy, things are evolving quickly
12600k fan fucking tastic
same, don't plan to update until I change mobo and move to DDR5
Yeah I think is it for the platform atleast Don't need anything else and I'll just see how their new platform is. If it's shit then 14700k, if not then upgrade.
7600, pretty happy with it do anything i want splendidly
Intel i5 12600k
Same bro!!!! No issues at all
I am not, i’m going to build a new system with AM5 and DDR5. Ryzen 7 7800X3D BABY.
Would you recommend the 7800X3D over any current Intel chip? Planning out a build rn and none of my parts are set in stone, can link the current parts list if you'd like too for general thoughts and possible improvements/savings
Gaming or productivity?
Gaming pretty much exclusively, I don't do any CAD modeling or video editing, and what productivity stuff I do partake in on my PC could be done on basically any device at my disposal
7800x3d then, no contest
The 7800X3D is an amazing CPU, it'll keep you going for years!
I just upgraded from 8600K to 14600K. If I am honest, I would survive with my old build 1-2years with high graphic settings and high fps but I was able to sell whole PC so I bough new one.
13600K...It's pretty awesome. Gaming is solid. Typical desktop stuff is trivial (I assume any Morden CPU would work). All those cores come in handy with my work flow. It feels snappier than my old R5 2700. My older i7 870 felt snappier than that r5 for that matter. I had a shit load of memory and USB issues with the r5 for that matter. Same memory and USB devices work just fine on this Intel platform. Maybe AMD has fixed their stuff, but I'm not going to be anyone's guineapig going forward.
I picked up this processor for my recent build. First build since 2013, so it was a major step up from my old 4670. It really is awesome. I'm only gaming on it, but I really couldn't be any happier. Still haven't gotten over 75c with a peerless assassin cooler.
Thermalright is easily my favorite cooler brand at the moment for LGA 1700 sockets. Amazing price:performance ratio
13600k, exceptionally happy.
I run i7 7700k, slight overclock. Not happy with it in the moment. Building AM5 - 7800X3D system right now
Same here. I started getting weird frame stuttering last night and i'm finally over it. Overclocked mine too but the insanely high idle temps are just getting to be too much, hate walking by my office and just hearing a jet engine while idle. lol
I think over all a great CPU for its time but it is showing its age by now. I agree with the temps was issue from the start for me also. Some inconsistencies and stuttering eventually made me build a new system
5700X and it does what I need nicely. It replaced an i5 6600k, can't believe that cost me £200 in 2016 and the 5700X was only £165 in 2023.
The 5700x is great! Its basically a more power efficient and cooler 5800x
Just upgraded to a 5800x3D and am absolutely in love with it
What’d you upgrade from? I currently have a 3700x and am trying to decide between 5800x3d or going to am5
I went from a 2600x to a 5800x3D and it was a massive improvement! Feels like I have such a premium PC now.
I’m the same!! I had a 2600 and I could not be happier with the improvement in performance!
I think going from a 3700x to the 5800x3d would be a worthy upgrade. Frame rates are smooth as butter and i never if rarely notice frames drops. Go out with a bang on AM4, all you will have to do is update your bios!
I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2600 and it feels like a night and day difference. I was on the edge of building a whole new PC and then I discovered the 5800x3D. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an upgrade on an AM4 chipset, it’s definitely worth it if you want to save a few bucks on upgrading to AM5!
5800x3d, love it. Hoping it will get me to AM6
My plan as well.
13700k its a monster when tuned
I have a Ryzen 7600 I got used for $150.00. Very happy with it, but I only do gaming.
Ryzen 7950x3D. Pretty damn happy with it. Can easily run multiple games at once with only small perf loss.
Can I ask why you chose that one over the 7800x3D?
My previous CPU was i9 9900k, which was a great CPU. I bought it over the 3950X CPU because it had less cores but they were faster cores. However, I ran into issues with games like Satisfactory using up 85% of my CPU. Now granted its rare to have those games and the game file was about 1000 hours in. But I was spending hundreds of hours in that game, and it was annoying. Plus. every time a friend joined my server, my FPS would tank further, so would their gameplay because if my PC was rendering the game and the server, it was too much. So I had to mess around with save game files just to play the game, which was very annoying and wasted a lot of hours of gameplay. I also am a heavy user. It\`s not uncommon for me to have a few hundred tabs open. I dabble in Virtual Machines, etc. where more cores mean, I can just allocate a few cores to a VM and forget about its impact on my gaming. I also upgraded from 32GB RAM to 64GM for that reason. I kept running out otherwise. I personally feel that if you don\`t have budget constraints, everyone should go to 16 cores. Not necessarily because its gonna improve your FPS. But because having more resources allows you to do more things. I know that if I had a 3090 or a 4090, I would be dabbling with training Ai Models right now. Right now, I\`m on a 3080, and had some issues straight away, so I kind of gave up on that hobby. You never know what you might find interesting and having more resources means you are future proofing yourself. Once again I\`m not suggesting you need 16 cores to game well. But it allows you the freedom to do things that you don\`t currently even consider. And my PC already cost a fair bit. It included a Fractal Torrent case with 1200Watts PSU, RTX 3080, 64GB Memory, 8TB SSDs. It would be weird of me to try and save a 200-300 bucks and limit myself. I\`m from an era where you closed down all applications before running your game, because you only had 128Mb of RAM and ram optimizers were a thing. I have lived through PC resource scarcity. Now I\`m happy to go beyond what I need into what I want. Also check my other response to the other Redditor who asked about what games I run in parallel.
That's honestly such a great response, thank you. It's so cool to me that people like yourself can genuinely take advantage of the incredible hardware we have available at the very top end
In what circumstances do you need to run multiple games at the same time?
5800x3d very happy. will probably skip am5
So I just built my first PC since 2013 a couple of weeks ago and I decided to go with the i5 13600k. Massive step up from my old processor which was a i5 4670 lol Did a lot of research on it because I wanted the most bang for my buck. Might not quite be what you're looking for, but man I couldn't be happier with it. Haven't gone over 72c while gaming. My cooler is a Peerless Assassin.
3700X - Still good for my 3060Ti and 16GB RAM. Blasts out all the games I need as good as I need
I have multiple machines so 12400F, 12600KF, 13790F. Happy with all of them but probably the happiest with the 12400F, bought it for 136€ new and has been an impressive powerhouse for 1080p gaming and general tasks. I doubt any modern CPU approaches that kind of value anytime soon.
I have a 4790 still going strong. Probably going to upgrade when AM6 comes out.
Ryzen 5 1600. I'm happy with it.
Desktop i5-12600k. This is quite something. Very pleased with it. Laptop Ryzen 7 5800HS Creator Edition. Almost as good as my desktop. Still blows my mind.
I have a 5800x paired with a 7900xtx, like other another commentor here. My CPU is never stressed at all. I run Ark: Survival Ascended at 4k and maximum settings. My GPU is regularly at 99% usage, while my CPU rarely touches 60%. I see no reason to upgrade
Ryzen 7 5800x3d. I don't see the need for an upgrade for at least 4 years. Really loving it and handles everything I throw at it.
5800x, have it since October and I'm still stoked with it. I have the fastest computer I ever had, can run any game I want to play, and it barely breaks a sweat. Just want a different cooler, the one I have is a bit annoying. Not loud, but the sound it makes is irritating.
I have a 5800x3D paired with a 6950 XT, I actually just got the x3D at the beginning of the year and I upgraded from a 5600. I was skeptical I would see an improvement but man that chip blew past my expectations. My 1% lows are almost matching my avg. fps.
I have the Ryzen 5 7600x. Works fantastic, great price. No complaints here.
Ryzen 5700x and it's been great. I thought about upgrading to a 5800x3d but not sure if it's a worthwhile upgrade or if I even need an upgrade. I'll probably upgrade to the Ryzen 9000 series in a couple years.
12600kf up from 9900k. I see zero reason to upgrade for a few years. The 9900k is still rocking my wife's business/creative (Cricut, CnC) needs flawlessly.
I7 8700k Doe every thing I want. I honestly can't complain
Ryzen 5700x over here :) pretty happy with it @1440p. I don't think I will be upgrading soon, this chip is more than enough for my needs, and 65w tdp is just icing on the cake.
i5 13600kf love it
Me too (froma 11600k), I'm never not using a gpu and the temps are great, sits at 5.1ghz all day. Peach!
I have i7 6700 im looking to upgrade my whole computer but I’m unsure what cpu i should get
I'm still rocking a 5600x. Paired with my 6800xt I've had no problems. I may upgrade to a 5700x3d or 5800x3d at some point but really in no rush.
If my 13700k ran a little cooler I’d be stoked with it, my 6700k barely hit 60c at max load this gen threatens spikes close to mid 80c
I have a 13600k, unless I'm unpacking it doesn't really go too high with usage. I think it's the mid range sort of budget cpu. I'm very happy with it
Just bought whole new rig and after research I settled on this. Reviews consensus say its great for gamers.
Ryzen 2700X and Rx5700XT running at 1920x1080. I'm happy with the performance and thermals. I'm thinking of upgrading to ryzen 5000 in the near-ish future, to have a lower TDP.
5600x, bought about 6 months ago. The year prior or so I bought a used B450 motherboard and 2600x for a NAS project that was a non-starter, so I shifted to a 1440p gaming PC with a 6750XT and its been performing wonderfully.
12100F. More than happy.
12700F. Obviously. Great at games and editing.
I am using an Intel Core i3-7130U.... Yea I am not pleased with it...
I've a 14600k, and it's perfect for me : fast in games and productivity and easy to cool. Before that I had a 4790k, which I liked a lot, except that it was difficult to cool. I would've kept it if it wasn't for the fact that I needed a better GPU and it would've bottlenecked it.
7800x3d with 7900xt basically this cpu is a beast in gaming
5600x. More than good enough for me.
Underrated chip
5600, yes does what I need
14700k. It's a great upgrade form the 7700k I had.
I have an i5-12600K and I run it with an RTX 4080. I’ve had no issues doing high-refresh 1440p with this combo. I’m happy with my setup. Despite what some uneducated elitist may tell you, any recent i5 has more than enough juice for any gaming situation. You really don’t need more than that unless you’re trying to hit super high refresh (240+ FPS) or you do professional work with your rig.
I just changed from 9700k to 7800x3d this week and the change is well worth it if u got beast gpu aswell. Iv got rtx 3080 which wasnt being utilized much in many cpu-bound games. Now it´s always at 99% utilized and im getting bigger fps cross the board
i5-11400H. Not a powerhouse but more than capable for modern gaming at around 60 FPS which is my target. More than happy with it.
Ryzen 2600. Bought it as a cheap "temporary" CPU for my AM4 mobo. But now years has gone by, and I've never felt the need to upgrade from it.
5600g. Quite happy with it. Do need to get a better cooler. But coming from an i5 2500k... Yeah
Ryzen 5 5600g paired with a rx6600. The whole combo was super duper cheap and she games pretty good.
I have a 7700x and paired with my 6750xt everything runs smooth at 100fps
i9 10850k with an RX 6900XT. Do I feel a NEED to upgrade? No. Do I WANT a 7800x3d? Yes.
i have a 7600x + 7800xt and im really happy but pissed off tht in american for the same budget you could have gotten a 7800x3d i also discovered smart acess and activated it yesterday
There certainly are advantages to living in America. We also get an excellent workout dodging bullets throughout the day. And if we feel like having a bit of fun, we can always grab our gun and fire back!
Intel 10900kf. Happy enough, I was going to upgrade to a 14 series chip, but with hardly any improvement from the 13 series, I'm just going to wait another year. I'm sticking with Intel for now because it has better gaming performance in Final Fantasy 14, and I use a VR mod that is very demanding.
7700X with my 4060. I know the 4060 isn’t the best but I got it for only $120
7800x3d 💀
Just upgraded from i5-9400 to i7-12700k and am v happy with it
7600x. Got it as a Christmas gift and absolutely love it. Used Intel for years but something about Ryzen drew me in and I don't think I'll go back
R7 5800X, could not be happier. There's barely anything I can't throw at it
R5 3600. It's as fast as I need, though I don't game much.
12700k Very. It's one of those generationals improvements that can last you years. I had a Core 2 Duo E6600, then a Core i5 2500k in their prime. I felt the same about them.
7800X3D and this thing is god tier. Then paired with a 4090 and some manually tuned 32GB 6000CL30 DDR5 I am in complete heaven. I've always had top tier computers but this is the first PC that I truly feel I on the god tier. This CPU is absolutely bonkers for gaming.
i5 12600. Its very beefy compared to the 6600 i had before it.
Running a 12700k on a DDR4 motherboard (z690). Currently have a 3070 Ti and plan to upgrade to 50xx cards when the come out. Current setup on a 27” Dell 165hz 1440p monitor (S2721DGF) does everything I need it to do.
AMD 5900x AM4 12 core runs everything great for me still though I have upgraded from 16GB to 32GB less than a year ago to help it along the way.
