Why in the world did you go with them!?


Brown had a 3 month delivery, red had a 2 month. Saw a lot of people on Reddit with reds so figured I’d give them a shot. Awful, I really can’t imagine doing anything at length with these. I’m used to a Logitech at work that has very short and light presses, hopefully the browns match that. Until they come in, looks like im stuck with this board for a month

I've experienced both ends of the spectrum with these reds and the greens on that razer (couldnt stand the clickety clack typewriter sounds). hopefully browns strike that nice balance

Yeah reds are the most common gaming switch. By far my favorite.

AMD is releasing two new Ryzen 3000 series CPU's for some reason. Slightly higher clocks.

Idk why you wouldn't just wait until September for Zen 3 at this point.

I'm a Brown guy, but if I must pick another, no doubt Reds.

Board,

I need help. i9-9900K or a Ryzen of sorts?

Don't really care about price point. I will be gaming and school on it only. No big workstation tasks.

I want to run 4K as smooth as possible.
GPU will be the 2080 Ti


Thanks

3700X and a good X570 board to get Zen 3 down the road.

Heavy Rain steam page is up

Excited to play this. I was maybe 40% through it back in the day and my PS3 died so lost the save.


ETA: Beyond: Two Souls as well

AMD is just pummeling Intel, Intel thought at least we'll have an edge in some things till zen 3 hits later in the year and AMD is like

"Nope, he's some higher clocked zen 2 parts which close the gap you just created" and they didn't have to even lift a finger really to do it, just better binned zen 2 stuff

If AMD prices these things really competitively Intel is so screwed, assuming it will be $250/$350/$450 once they hit as 3600XT, 3800XT and 3900XT.

Yeah but I still don't understand the market for them. They drop in July and 2 months later is Zen 3, idk why you would buy one unless in a pickle and can't wait and you at least have the option to upgrade to Zen 3 with the same board.

Is zen 3 coming in September? I feel like the graphic cards are coming in September based on latest stuff and the zen 3 chips themselves may launch later like October or November. Would be a lot to launch big navi and zen 3 in the same month.

I mean these are just basically to give the finger to intel and if priced right certainly are worth the buy without knowing what zen 3 chips will cost/be until those come. In the end it's not really costing AMD to launch these chips as they are just better binned zen 2 parts basically which over time their yields have matured so they can clock the stuff a little higher now than launch last year. So basically why not stack the products somewhat like this, although this is more my dream of actual pricing.

3600 - $160 (right now Microcenter)
3600X - $200 (right now Microcenter)
3600XT - $220-$250 estimate
3700X - $270 (right now Microcenter)
3800X - $310 (right now Microcenter)
3800XT - $330-$350 estimate
3900X - $390 (right now Microcenter)
3900XT - $430-$450 estimate
3950X - $700 (right now Microcenter)

I'd imagine that it would be a month after announcing.

Nvidia and AMD are debuting the new GPUs in August now, so assume Sept actual release.

Debut of Zen 3 is September and release October.

years ago I bought a QNIX monitor from something like eBay based on the experience of other posters here. It was very affordable and has given me no issues. I'm in need of a new monitor, is that online store still out there? I lost whatever link I had.

Like I said, years ago. Probably like 2015

Sounds like that's dead, any other options for affordable monitors, or am I back to buying name brands I'd recognize?
