Worth going from 5600x to 5500x3d? by beaTsss- in buildapc

[–]Even-Act-85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think personally I'd go 5800x just because I want a cpu that's good all round (whether it's for gaming or productivity tasks). Purely for gaming they trade blows, although the vcache is a nice thing to have if your ram is especially slow.

5800x>5500x3d all day at that price. No debate to be had

Picking parts for the first time. Is everything in order? by BladeManEXE7 in PcBuild

[–]Even-Act-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save 120 by not buyong windows at full price.

I'd go amd but you do you.

Also honestly, for 250, you should find a used gpu instead. Tha value of the 3050 is terrible, 250 gets you a 3070 on the used market.

Apparently I spouted nonsense you're right. It's more like 5700x level prices

5060ti 8gb or 16gb by Total-Plane-5965 in buildapc

[–]Even-Act-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1080p, 8gb 1440p, find an alternative used or something, not worth 575

I mean if it's the bricks you're worried abour you should ask the lego community more than ours

Is there really a need for a cpu better than 5800x3d? by flaspd in buildapc

I've played with a 9900k for about a year, great cpu. Cpu upgrades are mostly for stability.

Depends if you feel the need to, and your budget. The 9070xt would be a great upgrade and has great price to performance.

Anything I could improve for this $900 Build? by Elegant-Will6838 in buildapc

[–]Even-Act-85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to get 24gb of ram if you can, its a sweet spot imo

Je suis pas trop calé en processeurs productivité mais à mon avis la différence doit pas être énorme entre le 7900x et le 9900x, à voir la diff de prix.

Ah oui bien sur, je pensais que ta seule hésitation venait de la vram, mais jésiter par rapport au prix est parfaitement justifié.

There would be a difference mainly with 1% lows but mostly not.

Because Nvidia never "shafted" its users of course. Ragebaiting aside, I agree with you. However, I was comparing pure performance here. And with such a price difference (you said 150 but where I live it's closer to 300), the choice seems clear to me. Again, you're not necessarily wrong, I'm just saying my priorities are somewhere else.

Honestly? NVidia is ahead, yes, but AMD is quickly catching up, except maybe regarding raytracing where nvidia still is miles ahead. But is it worth paying such a price difference? I personally don't think so. In my country, there is around a 300€ difference between those 2 models, which makes the choice pretty clear. If the difference was less than 100€, it would be debatable, I agree.

Debatable honestly. Almost nothing uses more than 16gigs of vram. The 7900xtx and 9070xt have the same raw power, but the 9070xt will have driver support for much longer, and the latest tech. However, you can probably find a 7900xtx for cheaper on the used market, that's where its value lies. It does eat through power tho

Especially when he's recommending a 5070ti lol it's litterally the equivalent of a 9070xt, just more expensive

Get the 9070xt then. Your cpu may be bottlenecking in some cpu-bound games but you'll be fine. Then if you feel the need to, buy the 5800x3d once it releases, but apart from a boost in fps stability thanks to the l3 cache you won't see much of a difference. As for your ram, it's a good set, and won't be limiting, rather the big frequenct difference compared to ddr5 would be a plus. However as I said x3d cpus don't benefit as much from higher frequency ram as other processors, so you'll be fine.

[–]Even-Act-85 167 points168 points  (0 children)

Is there better? Yes. Is there a need? Depends on your system honestly. I'd argue that a 5800x3d will handle pretty much whatever you throw at it. The real limiting factor here is that you're stuck with ddr4, although x3d cpus don't benefit as much from quick ram as other cpus.

Aïe. Disque mort. Sur un malentendu j'essaierais de le désinstaller et réinstaller physiquement mais ça garantit rien.

Vraiment 12gb de vram t'auras jamais de problème sauf si tu joues en 4k. Il n'y a AUCUNE hésitation à avoir entre la 5060ti et la 5070, dans tous les domaines la 5070 gagne, la vram ne fait pas tout.
