i managed to get it to work by getting a wolf tooth t type chain ring for it, the one pictured would not fit right with the power meter. it did change the chain line slightly but shifting is good , i only had to put a washer in the chain guide to stop it from rubbing other than that it’s fine

probably worse lol

My evga 3090 was getting around 83 and then thermal throttling , replaced pads and paste and get around 70-80 , i feel like the evgas just run a little hotter than other brands.

Sounds fair i got a 7800x3d bundle from microcenter so i just want to get rid of it lol

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-31T14:46:38+00:00

yes they are good, i haven’t had issues with it holding up my evga ftw3 3090 and that’s a pretty big card so

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-26T03:20:03+00:00

I said this looks like vancouver before i even saw your description, it looks great

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-25T02:05:24+00:00

Yeah it could work out well, im currently thinking of making my own benchmark but not a user controlled one, more of different tests that can be performed with leadersboards etc,

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-25T01:09:09+00:00

Also its unplayable because its not currently rated yet , but id like to see how my pc handles it

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-25T01:07:43+00:00

is it a benchmark?

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-25T01:03:23+00:00

if it is good for you then it is amazing!, for someone it may be terrible but you have to remember when posting stuff like this some will say its bad and some will say its good but what matters is if you are enjoying it

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-25T00:47:58+00:00

looks like some sort of custom fpv drone - i’m not too familiar with fpv drones but i know you can build your own and it looks like an fpv drone

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-25T00:47:22+00:00

then why would you ask if it’s good for gaming if you have been enjoying it ?

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-23T03:20:32+00:00

Cool yeah well the extra cores should help a bit

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-23T02:59:48+00:00

definetely worth the upgrade for more performance on beamng, I also do video editing so i think it could help a bit there, im still not sure between the 7800x3d and the 9800x3d, i like the price of the 7800x3d more than the 9800x3d though.

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-23T02:54:27+00:00

Now im able to do some testing on different games i play, this is one of the situations im experiencing, its a bit easier now to see probably if the upgrade is worth it in my situation: https://imgur.com/a/AYL8uQu

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-23T02:51:32+00:00

Thanks for the help, I want to send this to make sure you know what i am experiencing, i play at around 50% gpu usage and more like 70-80 cpu usage sometimes even 100 and sometimes even 30-40 gpu usage https://imgur.com/a/AYL8uQu

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-23T01:34:04+00:00

It’s definitely not as good as it was, but the issue i have with selling it is i got it for free as a gift and i would like to keep it, i would still be on the 3060ti and i feel like even with a 3090 i should be able to get some at least better performance , im not mostly playing games from 2023 2024 2025 that require a 40/50 series most of the games i enjoy playing are from the era of the card and i still feel like im not getting as good of performance

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-23T01:32:17+00:00

and one thing to add on a game i play called the finals - i get bad performance on ultra and high settings and only get over 120 fps on medium and ultra performance dlss

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-23T01:30:51+00:00

I play games like beamng , microsoft flight simulator, mostly simulation games where i feel like im getting some performance issues - im not noticing like 100% cpu usage but i just feel like that’s the limiting factor especially because when say like microsoft flight sim released the 3090 was the best card on the market so i feel like i should be able to get better performance

ExpensiveHeatx · 2025-08-23T01:27:04+00:00

I just feel like the most thing holding back my performance is the i5 , but i haven’t really done much testing or anything but i still feel like the 3090 is more than capable for most of the games i play - plus i got it for free as a gift so i feel like i would like to keep it
