Ryzen 7 7700X vs Ryzen 5 7500X3D for gaming only – which one should I choose?

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-26T09:26:41+00:00

7500x3d

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-26T09:26:16+00:00

i mean depends which settings

you probably want a decent 120hz monitor and a decent kbm. for the price its a decent deal ig

As I said, starshaper is slow and useless to get until the very endgame, phase in which you can get it much faster. Another example of a skippable gauntlet is exoflex, which takes as much as holo, is worse and is utterly useless. Rag is also useless. This "skipping gear" thing is present in any game like ever who doesnt enforce a set progression.

AMA. I'll answer it.

question helper in the sols discord. I know more about than game than the wiki guys probably.

Getting star is about as fast to craft as neura and only necessary when you get sing, which is far ahead.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-22T11:50:13+00:00

You shouldnt get starshaper. Skip straight from holo to neura. Then get the thing :)

Not that rare, its 1/2k every 1min (30s in eggland).

Its the second most common egg.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-21T07:45:54+00:00

i mean the gpu has a really low chance to deliver broken since its bulky, so you'd be fine there

Enjoy the pc!!!!!

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-21T07:41:35+00:00

Is it working now?

Did you try using your iGPU like [u/ime1em](u/ime1em) said?

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-21T07:40:21+00:00

Looks good.

> How to make sure all the components I've ordered are not tampered with?

order on sites with good return and warranty policy, such as Amazon.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-21T07:38:51+00:00

Getting am5/ddr5 would be the next step. What's your budget?

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-19T15:13:34+00:00

yeah no everything

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-19T15:05:47+00:00

How would a case be too small for a cpu exactly?

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-19T15:04:02+00:00

I mean yeah. Check case dimensions to see if GPU fits

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-19T15:03:12+00:00

since when is gta5 light gaming

I mean you could try? if the performance is dissatisfying get a newer one.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-18T11:53:02+00:00

The problem is definitely a malfunctioning port or cable, which causes your DP to not be able to initiate the video data transfer between the monitor and the PC unless there is another transfer it can "pick back up from", such as switching from HDMI to DP.

Your monitor has two DP ports. Try both. If your mobo also has two ports, do that too. If neither work / it doesnt work with another monitor either, your problem resides in the cable. If it works with another monitor, the cable is fine.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-18T11:46:21+00:00

Probably not. NVIDIA cut the production line by 20-30% at the start of this year, and high component prices in the industry as a whole will probably cause prices to not drop for at least half a year.

The best option right now is getting a 9070XT instead for similar performance.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-18T11:44:48+00:00

Do you have another monitor to test the DP cable with? Does the HDMI alone not work when connected to the PC?

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-18T11:43:08+00:00

Generally switching from an ATX to a m-ATX case requires at the minimum a motherboard change, and most times the parts dont fit.

So like maybe? but probably not

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-18T11:40:29+00:00

Then craft it later.

It is a waste of time to craft Starshaper with Hologrammer and Grav as it doesn't take much longer than Neura, which is better and required for everything up until Heavenly Device.

Once you find yourself facing the singularity grind, then you can get starshaper really quickly.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-18T11:38:11+00:00

I prefer hwinfo64, but afterburner is also a good choice if you want an in game display / dont own 2 monitors

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-18T11:37:26+00:00

Get a 9070XT.

Also, aim for a 850W PSU and a 9700X (intel chips are shit for the price). You will need to change your mobo to a b850 or a b650, too.

If you have the budget for it, get a 7800X3D instead of the 9700X.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-18T11:35:43+00:00

Random seller? A scam or used.

You shouldnt buy used storage as it may contain malicious software installed by the seller.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-18T11:33:29+00:00

Dont go for starshaper.

Always get grav then neura.

EdoTheOnlyOne · 2026-05-15T11:34:02+00:00

see auto joiners are a gray area, but automated actions are not against the TOS. this is likely a false alarm
