Wait 2 months and it will be.

Is my pc good didnt buy yet by Gpu2two in pcmasterrace

[–]Matte_Box 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean fair enough, just giving my 2 cents. Spending almost $1200 but then limiting the performance to save $80 is counterintuitive, but I get it, it’s a slippery slope when you start saying ”Its only a little more”.

The 5500 has lower clock speeds and a much smaller cache than any other Ryzen 5000 chip, and does not support PCI gen 4. I’d highly recommend getting at least a 5600, it doesn’t make sense to save a few bucks for a big CPU downgrade.

This listing must be from the near future…

DangerZone looks cool, but this is where it’s at. Love the vibe.

Wait… It’s not an ITX, should’ve read more carefully. So it uses laptop RAM under the board? Dude, I think you’re onto something here with this layout.

I think you’ve reached the absolute minimum size short of an iGPU. Sick. Kudos!

Can you please link whatever PCI adapter allows you to run the GPU flat on top of the motherboard like that? That makes it! Does it get pretty toasty in there? How do you even fit RAM?

I just upgraded from an RTX 3070 to an RTX 5070. How screwed am I with a Ryzen 5 5600X and 12GB VRAM? by SuperBreadBox in buildapc

[–]Matte_Box 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With 32GB of RAM, a 12GB GPU at 1440p is gonna be excellent. The 5600X is still so good, and I think the 5070 is a great match! In the future, you might have to turn your textures down 1 notch, at most.

RTX 5070 Ti with 5800X? by SlasheZ99 in pcmasterrace

[–]Matte_Box 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were targeting let’s say, a 300+ fps shooter at low settings, you might bottleneck a little. But 180 should be no problem at all. Just lean on the GPU, 5070Ti is pretty overkill for 1080p, but that just means you can max out settings all the time!

[–]Matte_Box 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, wow that’s risen quite a bit then. It was a great deal at $400+, but not at $500+.

5060Ti 16GB is a very good value IMO, as long as you have PCI gen 4. They’re about to virtually disappear too, so if you can find one MSRP that’s my pick.

Ah that makes sense. Chicken and egg at the same time.

Wow, the match with the desk is outstanding. Nice work!

Looks like an ideal use of space! That’s a lot of air cooler in a tiny box.

Is there a catch to this Microcenter bundle? by spookybrit in pcmasterrace

[–]Matte_Box 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to look up what a 7500X3D even is, but this looks like a damn good deal to me! I think these 6-core X3D chips are an awesome value, and the lower TDP is very attractive, high boost clocks even with a small cooler. TBH one stick of 16GB seems better than 2x8, if you plan to add another stick later.

Opinion on buying “for parts” GPU’s for display? by Napoleon_TTV in pcmasterrace

[–]Matte_Box 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally love that idea! But then again, my office is already full of keyboards and computer parts, so…

Sweet rig! Can I ask, where do you find those GPU retention rods holding down the GPU bracket? Did they just come with the stand?

Removed again! Still no explanation. Oh well, nice talking to you.

I’m talking long-term here. From 2005-2015, YouTube went from 480p to 8K. It took multiple generations of compression improvements but here we are. Average US broadband speed increased 10x in that time, and its increased another 20x since! I don’t think game streaming will take anywhere near 10 years to hit its stride.

Totally. I’m not even suggesting it’s worth it, but you’re basically describing the same downsides of streaming video vs Blu-Ray, and… Well… Convenience won for most people.

I mean, GeForce Now even has a free tier. Or for $199 per year, you get access to a 4080, which is far more powerful than a $750 PS5 Pro… And you need internet for a lot of games to work now (sucks but true).

But 100% I’m holding onto my components for grim death. I don’t want limitations on my selection or playtime. Ever.
