Intel has shown strong this gen, so I'm pulling for AMD to release a winner. Think I'll be waiting for next gen to let everything, including DDR5, settle out, though.

Yeah I'm glad I waited, now I can jump in with Zen 4 and be set for long term with DDR5 and PCIE5 established and nothing new coming for awhile unlike with 4.
Yeah Intel showed strong vs last gen, we'll see if Intel can catch back up or at least get close to Zen 4.

Yes and no. Current DDR5 is kinda shitty, and there’s no guarantee whether first Gen boards will last as long as they did on AM4. I think there will be a lot of headaches for early adopters.

I think the early adopters are the ones on it now.
But DDR4 works great you don't have to have it on most boards if not all they are backwards compatible with both.

Anyone need a 3080? Got an extra (EVGA FTW3 Ultra B Stock) and don't need it, I'll sell it for what I paid
Posted on 3/31/22 at 12:34 pm to Carson123987
how much?
Posted on 3/31/22 at 2:02 pm to bluebarracuda
$1058. Let's just say $1050 even

ehhh I'll pass on that one. I'm eyeing 6900 XTs on eBay around that price, but I'm still kinda waiting to see what 4000 and 7000 series brings
Posted on 4/2/22 at 1:21 pm to Joshjrn
AMD's 5000 series still competes with Intel fairly well in terms of performance, but they needed to fix the pricing months before Alder Lake was released.

I agree that AMD was a little greedy on pricing this Gen. It’s actually why I passed for a while, only pulling the trigger on a 5800x a few weeks ago at $330. Which is around where it should have been to begin with.
Posted on 4/3/22 at 7:13 pm to Joshjrn
Ouch, I paid 439.99 4/20/21 of last year for a 5800x
Posted on 4/3/22 at 7:44 pm to SpeedyNacho
I wouldn’t feel too badly about that, considering it was a year ago

Considering the improvement over the 3700x, and the fact that Intel hadn't released Alder Lake yet, plus this was 2021 (pricing lol), this wasn't a bad price at all.

Lot of smoke lately that Zen 4 is going to mop the floor with raptor lake.
My body is ready to pre-order.

I genuinely hope so. I plan to skip this generation of CPUs, but that would bode well to how sexy my upgrade will be when I finally decide to jump platforms.

I was considering that 42" LG C2 as a monitor but $1399 seems a little much when end of the day it's a TV.
Still think even mounted on the wall and 3-4 feet back 42" is still too big anyways.

Good to see you post. I hope all is good with you.

LG has confirmed that the first batch of 42-in C2 OLED TVs to be shipped will not purely contain the latest OLED EX (WBE) panels. Instead, some of these smaller TVs will have the older WBC OLED panel.
The tech company explained that the lower-spec panels were being used due to supply chain issues. LG said it would revert to using the planned OLED EX panels in the second half of the year.
