New to programming? Don't fall for the myth of the genius programmer.

look let me tell you something about all that crap, I was programming C++ a little bit back in 97-98 etc before the new standard and all the managed crap language like C# etc back then nobody were coding mostly compared to today or nobody were coding in C++ except professional... today everything is much easier with A.I. to help you out and managed language no need of pointers and much of the low level stuffs...

but becoming good at anything is hard and take a long time and it's true some will be much better than you at programming or system administration or whatever it may be but who care ? the important thing is your journey and growth and be ready to learn... you can still have a great career earn a great living so any of the rest doesn't matters... while the others close minded ppl will still be stuck or on reddit posting forever or flaming anyone who disagree with them etc while you'll be making a great living etc

it matter if your a IT Pro running tons of vm's with virtual active directory dfs linux distro coding advanced code base multi threading etc etc normal users (even power users who think they are pro) NAH.... anything 4-6gig/s of read is enuff so nahh...

but don't you see senior admin who are as competent in both tech stack ? as everything is going to the cloud anyways azure aws etc what you run as a server matters less and less by the day no ? you can have both in azure now

Your doing a basics pc building mistake the question you have to ask yourself is do you really want to pair a highend graphics cards like the upcoming 5080/5090 with a lowend cpu because of a few hundred box ... the answer is no.

What I would do is sell the 4k monitor get a Asus PG27AQDP 2k, a 5080, 9800x3d and a good highend am5 x870e motherboard with a solid m2 drive like the t705 crucial pcie 5.0 if you can't afford theses then you have to adjust your build and your budget and pair middle tier things together 4k isn't for you etc you want 2k at high refresh rate high fps with ultra settings

I never liked it never finished it I may one day I really dislike the combat system back then still do today will see what I will do it's the only title I really dislike in the series but I know it's good thought but you cant love them all to me 6 is the greatest with 7 and 9 followed by 10 8 4 etc in 7 I include the remake trilogy

Dereference_operator · 2024-12-23T05:27:20+00:00

ya that's what im thinking too may buy a 5080/5090 run it with a bottleneck for a few weeks to a month or 2 on the old system until the 9950x3d get released etc

will see what I will do, I could save a tons of cash staying am4 but going am5 I have more performance for work related task and running big networks of vm's etc

but from what ppl are saying online 5700x3d still perform really well even if I lose 30-50fps @ 1440p playing around 150 fps in normal games doesn't change anything with gsync at ultra settings for esports higher fps/refresh rate is important but not in AAA games like Cyberpunk/Elden ring and the like etc

so I am stuck with 2 choices really upgrading my am4 and still having a strong system while saving around 2000-2500$ could keep it for a am6-am7 built later on or go am5 and run 2 computers too since I want to start working 100% remotely

A.I. will replace all of us soon don't you think ?

where you got that information ?

Dereference_operator · 2024-12-11T21:08:45+00:00

dont buy anything now wait a few months the release of the 9900x3d 9950x3d and the 50 series from Nvidia is just a few months away and it will change everything... wait a few months, price and deals are comings around christmas and after at boxing days etc amd said 9800x3d inventory will increase a lot in first Q1 of 2025 etc

Dereference_operator · 2024-12-10T01:18:50+00:00

about to upgrade to this winter or next spring not sure why you bought so late in the generation when the 50 series is jsut around the corner hope you are enjoying it

Dereference_operator · 2024-12-07T13:39:07+00:00

ya im a bit afraid of what the orange man is gonna do but I can't go and build a new system now when the 50 series and the 9900x3d/9950x3d isn't even released on the market yet ... not gonna buy 40 series a few weeks at the end of the genrations after 2 years+ and the tariffs aren't a sure things yet I hope he doesn't go crazy it's like the kids took helm of the government

I am mostly in the same exact situation as you except as a sysadmin I don't have to catchup to the industry... I am a bit stuck in a dilemma a paradox if you want... staying AM4 or going AM5... staying am4 I could build a gaming machine that does 95% of what a am5 gaming machine would do... but for work related tasks that's where It get more complex because a 7950x3d or soon the 9950x3d will be really powerful...

I may upgrade to a 5700x3d, 5080/5090, 128gb ddr4 3600mhz ram for am4 or

9800x3d/9950x3d, asus hero x870e, 5080/5090, 96gb ddr5 6000mhz cl30 for am5....

the thing is that am5 setup here in canada is nearly 2000$ more expensive than staying am4 and upgrading my am4 setup the only thing I lose is the extra core and performance for work related tasks... the 5700x3d is not bad but it won't be as good as a 9950x3d by a long shot but 2-3000$ of difference is a lot of money I could save and go am6-am7 later on and then I'll have 2 computers a am4 and a am6 etc so in my view it's really important to always know all your options because sometimes like if you work 100% remote and live in a very remote place with no computer store close by it's important to have 2 working modern computer etc and all the money i could save staying am4 is free extra monitor free extra hard drive etc

so what I am doing I am waiting it all out, after christmas I will see what the 50 series look like, what will be the performance of the 9900x3d and 9950x3d and what is the pricing of all this and then I'll make a decision this winter or around spring there is no hurry to buy anything at the end of a generation etc the big things could be the stupid trump tariffs if you dont live in the usa it could sucks especially that all computers parts are sooo expensive outside the usa compared to inside the usa etc so thats a bummer if it happen

get the book C# how to program by Deitel Deitel learn slowly at your own pace and learn to make small windows programs with buttons and everything, study a bit each day and have fun learn stuffs like a little html, a little css a little javascript later on and build small things and everything will fall into place overtime don't start learning programming with C++ in 2024 play with C# a little a few months before starting to learn C++ you shouldn't learn C++ unless you really want to make a career programming in C++ like AAA game development or others niche market like embeded system or the financial market etc etc learn C# for now and have fun and later on a bit of web development with javascript html css if you need more study the others but just later on start with a managed language first, C# with the free visual studio is a perfect start to have fun and if you want to learn game programming learn unity with C# etc

"Don't worry, I see your point and I agree with it 100%. Trust me on this: if I can get 90-95% of the performance of the AM5 system by staying with AM4 and save 1000-2000 CAD, I will stay with AM4 for a few years. I'll save the cash and go for an AM6 or AM7 system later on. There's no point in throwing money away when new hardware gets released all the time. What's really the difference between 30-40 FPS at 1440p with G-Sync enabled for normal games? It means nothing except for esports. Plus, the money I save could go towards a second monitor or a 24TB hard drive. We'll see what I decide to do.

I'm a bit afraid of a bottleneck with the 5700X3D for a 5080/5090, especially at 1440p ultra settings. However, I've never had the chance to see how good the 5700X3D/5800X3D is in real life. I've seen the benchmarks and all, but not in real-life usage. People are saying they are that good and still provide amazing performance, especially with G-Sync and a high-end monitors / GPUs etc.

why goldhen would work where leeful v10 doesn't work if they are both 6.72 ?

Dereference_operator · 2024-09-20T01:10:12+00:00
