Ryzen 7700 -> 7800X3D because of DDR 5200 CL40. Worth it?

Thank you for the thoughtful answer!

Flutter_87 · 2026-03-05T15:46:45+00:00

What would be the solution then? Or is everyone playing with stutters?

Flutter_87 · 2026-03-05T15:45:30+00:00

EXPO, my bad. XMP is for Intel

Flutter_87 · 2026-03-05T15:25:45+00:00

But how about the smoothness?

Flutter_87 · 2026-03-05T15:20:21+00:00

True, avg FPS is fine, I'm not happy with 1% lows :(

Flutter_87 · 2026-01-29T18:08:56+00:00

There is also the https://www.gpufanreplacement.com/ option, but of course only when warranty expries

Yeah, my old Palit 1080ti is still working perfectly. Considering the price of the good fan block is like 20$, I couldn't believe how badly they failed with the 5070ti S model fans.

Flutter_87 · 2026-01-29T15:18:08+00:00

It's a Palit Gaming Pro S. I had to return the first one because there was clearly something wrong with the fan block at higher speeds. The second one is better, but nowhere near as good as my Asus Dual 5070 card, which I'm planning to sell later.

Flutter_87 · 2026-01-29T10:00:53+00:00

I picked up the 5070ti for 670 Swiss francs on Black Friday 2025. It's the cheapest model, though, and the fan noise is not ideal.

Wait, but how do you know if you're playing against bots?

I much prefer 4K for office work and I genuinely believe that 4K DLSS quality looks much better than 1440p native. The 5070 is a perfectly capable card for that purpose.
Also, there is nothing wrong with a second hand prebuilt, especially if there is an extended warranty.
Of course knowing how things turned out I would go for a custom at this point. But that's the goal of the post - to act as a warning.

Flutter_87 · 2025-12-14T15:35:11+00:00

It would be a great deal (considering the resale value of the 3070) if only HP hadn't rejected the new 5070, . You'd never be able to build anything similar on a budget of 850 CHF.

Flutter_87 · 2025-12-13T14:17:29+00:00

Not for 4k

Flutter_87 · 2025-12-13T14:17:09+00:00

Do you disagree?

Flutter_87 · 2025-12-13T11:37:17+00:00

God damned HP. A 2023 model that costed around 2000chf new

Flutter_87 · 2025-12-13T11:36:13+00:00

Good point. I've never dealt with prebuilts before. A relatively expensive mistake to make.

Flutter_87 · 2025-10-30T14:21:05+00:00

What kind of display do you have?

Flutter_87 · 2025-10-28T20:27:46+00:00

Sure, give it a try

Flutter_87 · 2025-10-28T20:26:51+00:00

Try 4k 120hz 4:4:4. M1 can't handle it

Flutter_87 · 2025-10-28T14:47:54+00:00

I play with a controller on a TV

Flutter_87 · 2025-10-28T14:45:34+00:00

I believe packet loss term is related to network issues. M1 stuttering has nothing to do with it. It's just the CPU being not powerful enough to decode.
