5950X's going for $1200+ on ebay already.
i dont get it, the 5900 does better than the 5950 on almost every game
guess it's more of a workstation cpu
after perusing some more, the difference between them 2 and a 10900 is negligible at 4k. guess I'm going to keep my 9900k until a significant upgrade comes along in terms of gaming performance

We're gonna need a heft boost in GPU performance for that to happen

A lot of people want the best they can buy. So a chip that is the best at gaming and work is a no brainer.
Same type of people that will spend $1500 on a 3090 despite it barely being any better at gaming over a 3080 and for workstations. They may not be the smartest but they want the best.

It's not even the best at gaming though....

Well duh that's why I said and work. Same as a Threadripper more cores = less gaming performance as games still only use about 6 cores. You're not buying a 5950X or Threadripper for gaming you buy it for work and gaming on a single rig versus two. Or streaming on a single PC instead of two.

So an overpriced swiss army knife that's not really the best at anything? Also, $800....yikes....
Posted on 11/5/20 at 1:46 pm to Hu_Flung_Pu
And selling like hotcakes at over $1200 a pop. People want the best sometimes.

Not really, I think they just want the best for their usage. You seem to be struggling to understand this. If you're a gamer, that also does workstation work, the 5950X is a god send. Prior you had to use a Threadripper CPU which was quite bad at gaming.

yep, had it in my cart and purchased it like 6 times before AMD.com banned me. None went through.
Best Buy's stock disappeared immediately when they finally went live.

Unlucky. I was going to wake up and go for a 5900X but slept on through. I can wait until stock stabilizes though.

I got my 3090 still looking for a home, lol.
Sticking with it over the AMDs even though they look quite enticing. Just some benefits I prefer from N like gsync and DLSS for stuff I do. Plus a bit more vram for my rendering and shite.
Posted on 11/5/20 at 2:08 pm to Dam Guide
Word, although g sync is basically dead and merged into freesync at this point but that was inevitable probably like DLSS as well.

Yeah but I don't have the newer version monitors, mine are gsync only, so I am sticking to that til I upgrade monitors which may not be awhile.

Ah I see, they are old enough they never got certified or whatever to support both?
