Um… kind of? If you’re getting good performance, it doesn’t really matter beyond dick measuring.
I don't be winning any of those. But I haven't observed any issues related to performance. If I get curious, I turn on the Rivia overlay but I have had it off for months now.

Unless you’re playing competitively, as long as the game looks good and feels good, it’s not worth worrying about.

I saw an article this morning commemorating four years since the release of the 30 series, which then reminded me for the first time in a while of the absolute saga that was MTech. What a fricking ride, those "shipping" pics and videos were like fricking crack

Any predictions for the price of PC components between now and the end of the year? Youngest wants to rebuild one of my older Gaming PCs and I think we will be following this modest build guide
Posted on 9/23/24 at 2:42 pm to bad93ex
That’s actually a pretty old guide at this point, so I wouldn’t expect significant price reductions moving forward, as those are mostly already priced in. You say you’re rebuilding; are you carrying any components forward? What’s your price range? What does he play, at what resolution, and with what target frames per second?

Just the case and hard drive if possible

$750

What does he play
Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, Apex Legens and Warzone

1080P

Target is to be able to play above 60 FPS at 1440P when he can finally upgrade his monitor

Case will save us some money. As for storage, what kind of drive do you currently have?

$750
Max or rough target?

I think it is a very low budget hard drive 500gb 5400rpm

This will be his xmas money and his savings but if it makes a huge difference then I can kick in a little myself. ($50-75)

We’re definitely going to replace that. Even the cheapest of cheap Gen 3 m.2 NVME drives would an utterly massive upgrade.

We’ll see where the wiggle room is. I’ll try to spec something out tonight.

If I had to build today, this is what I would build. With that said, at this price point, Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales can legitimately jump you entire tiers of performance, so I would be inclined to hold off until then:

Mtech days were insane
I think we got some of the last cards he shipped out

One day, I’ll be scrolling through my phone pics and see a GPU with a fork next to it, and I’ll remember

Yeah, I think I can use this Gaming PC upgrade as a tool to get some additional housework done out of him between now and Xmas while aligning other donations.

Hopefully this is true, grabbing day 1.
Didn't you pass on x3d last time to go 7900x? If I'm remembering that correctly, why the shift back?
Posted on 10/10/24 at 9:54 am to Joshjrn
5700x3d/5800x3d are going to be AMD's version of a 1080ti for CPUs. Those will hold up for years.

Rumored prices for Nvidia 5000 series cards.
They are such fricking scum

I bought a 4080 Super FE for MSRP, I'm good for years. But honestly, part of this is lack of competition.
Nvidia is scummy, but they can pretty much do w.e they want because AMD gave up on the high end, and Intel isn't there yet with their hardware maturity (plus driver issues).
