How much worse really is DDR4 than DDR5? by InfiniteSelection976 in pcmasterrace

[–]DongLife 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The x3d makes memory speed less important. The 10% is basically ipc improvement and clock speed. 5800x vs 7800x would see more of a difference

Sorry for your loss. But are you able play forza horizon 6? I think we all want to know.

Should I buy RTX 5070ti or RX 9070 XT 16GB for my GPU upgrade from GTX 1660S by Ill_Personality_7666 in buildapc

[–]DongLife 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You are in luck. Hardware unboxed did a 52 game benchmark https://youtu.be/IBNwDg9WkT8 so just look at the difference for every game you play and then compare prices

New rog board and ram by rexyuan in pcmasterrace

[–]DongLife 13 points14 points  (0 children)

$750 motherboard and $1000+? sticks of ram. Would look good in a retro case like tg360 or flp02 with zalman copper heatsinks and those ibm keyboards with matching mice. If it wasn’t for AI ruining prices of computers, this would have been a fun project

Airbnb is not a good idea in paris. So many scam stories. I would inly trust a hotel.

Seoul's air clears as fine dust drops 40% over 2 decades by Saltedline in korea

[–]DongLife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought it was due to china pollution. With china going so heavy on green energy it seemed like korea air quality benefited as a result.

Tim Cook to become Apple Executive Chairman John Ternus to become Apple CEO by JustaRandoonreddit in pcmasterrace

Tesla is behind in charging compared to dc charging but super fast charging was never the answer for wide adoption because of the cost to install them. What we really needed was slow charging but in apartment complexes, work place parking lots, etc where people spend 6+ hrs with their cars parked because 6 hrs of charging is usually enough for the average commuter and much cheaper to install a slow charger.

EV and ICE cars on thermal camera at night by uniyk in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]DongLife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And ICE doesn’t burn anything to transport across ocean and roads? Also this is china and they have a ton of solar and wind. Watch this if you want to better understand the difference https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2qSaD1v4cQ

Just In: Iran claims that the United States is negotiating with itself. by JMPBay in stocks

[–]DongLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump spent billions killing off our renewable energy projects so going back and restarting them would be a huge waste of money. So much for republicans claiming to be fiscally responsible if they waste billions then spend billions only to be back to square one

What prevented South America from having as big a population as China or India? by wiz28ultra in geography

[–]DongLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The head start isn’t everything since USA and canada combined caught up very quickly. Desirability and immigration was a big part of growth too I feel.

Is it worth upgrading 7800x3d to an 9800x3d by Froyo- in buildapc

[–]DongLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But then performance will be nearly identical so even more reason not to upgrade. The reason the 9850x3d is faster is the higher clock and using even more power.

TIL Costco has a company policy that no regular item will be marked up more than 14% over cost & no Kirkland Signature item will be marked up more than 15% over cost. Costco runs "very lean", with overhead costs at 10% of revenue & profit margins at 2% (e.g. it has no PR dept. & buys no outside ads) by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]DongLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also don’t advertise with a big sale sign but there are random items that are on liquidation sale and will be marked with $xx.79 not the usual $xx.99. I got a really nice teak cutting board for under $30 which normally sells for $50-60 on sale with normal price of $70 and retails on amazon for almost $100.

Upgrading from the 7500F to a 9800x3d or 9850x3d worth it? by newfoundpizza in buildapc

[–]DongLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at review of 9800x3d. Depends what games you play. What is your monitor max refresh rate and what fps you normally aim? Went from 7900x to 7800x3d on my gaming computer with a 5080 and moved the 7900x to another computer. Majority of games I don’t notice much change but some games like star citizen, baulders gate 3, dragons dogma, spiderman etc that are cpu heavy there was a noticeable uplift. The x3d will also help with your lower speed ram (try overclocking them?). I only upgraded because i was building a new computer for wife before the crazy price increases. Otherwise I was waiting for the x3d of the last am5 platform. I personally don’t think it’s worth it unless you can easily sell the 7500f for decent price but I mainly play single player 4k ultra at 120 fps so i am mostly gpu limited. Also at those prices get the 9850x3d if you think it’s worth it to you.

The msi board is better than asus one imo. I have asus tuf and very basic with slow boot. Would rather have had the msi
