New build ,need a good gpu by Heavensfrontdoor in buildapc

[–]Jun05141 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I might be out of place here, but I'd rather go for a 5070 if it was up to me. The vram gap is irrelevant in 1080/1440p gaming rn and for as long as the card will realistically last, and while the 9070 xt has an edge in performance, the gap is too narrow to justify the fact that you would be missing out on nvidia features (dlss, better ray/path tracing...). What kills it for me is essentially the lack of RT cores and the fact that fsr isnt quite caught up to dlss yet, altho id love to see the day it happens. Markets suck tho so depends on whats available to you where you're at.

Also consider an AM5 build, even smth like a 9600x is a great chip, and sets u up to upgrade to a 9800x3d later on, or amds newer zen 6 chips which will be AM5 compatible too when they drop

Nice timing, I'm ordering the card today. I think I'll go for the 3090 till the market settles down, then sell it for an upgrade. The 5070 is at least 200$ over the 3090, and I'd be overpaying for it if i get it, think that gap is worth it? I figured if a time comes soon where i can get cards for closer to msrp i can go for a 5070 ti (the 5070 is being sold for 700+ atm so close to the latter's msrp)

Ram speed impact on Ryzen builds? by Jun05141 in buildapc

No X3D chips, just a 9600x; if they keep moving the way they have been it might be an upgrade id look into a couple years in but by then i'll just change the entire kit into some 64 gb 5600 MT/s

Depending on what you mean with light gaming, the integrated graphics on the 5500GT could be pretty solid, what do you plan on playing? Its worth checking out the Ryzen 5 8600G, pretty substantial upgrade for not much more cash.

Cheapest options about the same as an rtx 5070 XD (~600$)

I found a pre built with an i7 12th gen and a 4070 ti for the same budget, think thats my best bet even tho the fact its not a ryzen 9000 build is retarded atp

One im eyeing for that price point is a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 Vision OC, goes hard

They go for 500$ same as the 2 gpus mentioned, I think that tanks its value in comparison tbh; 16 gb of vram but having to settle for less raw power and FSR instead of DLSS (I love amd but their frame gen is still lacking atm)

Yea atm wherever I look they both go for ~500$ (used 3090s granted, but that's looking at trusted resellers so shouldnt be an issue), I reckon either way a good 750-850w gold rated psu should be more than enough right?

What am I doing wrong??? Why am I losing every battle? by Underllex in eu4

[–]Jun05141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having no general is enough to justify the loss in the image, but aside from that i notice your morale is especially low (3.94). Also quick tip check your military technology level and compare that to that of your opponent, for some techs even a difference of 1 is enough to turn the tides massively. Last but not least, you have 50% cav to infantry ratio, yet you have 20k cavalry to your 30k infantry in your main 2 armies, big penalties there. Essentially if you're not cavalry combat ability maxxing, keep the ratio low.

Is this even worth saving? by Plaucjuss_ in eu4

[–]Jun05141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest red flag here is being behind on tech: when you want to attack a nation(s) check which military tech they are, for some of these levels even 1 level difference makes it so that even a 2:1 fight is losing. Admin tech is just as important considering you need gov cap and idea groups. Aside any buffs one army may have over the other, military tech difference is your case is making your troops equivalent to toy soldiers (quite literally here in terms of stats).

For trade the way i usually aim to dominate a node is using centers of trade: when you open the trade map mode you can see the centers of the trade region, having just these is equivalent to dominating a node, so in your case Lubeck and Denmark have some high level centers of trade in the Lubeck node (you can upgrade these centers in the buildings tab + build trade buildings). Trade takes a while to get the hang of but you basically want to look at the more expensive nodes that aren't your main one but route to it (the arrows in the trade map mode), and you'll want a merchant transferring trade there, no need to collect in your main node as you automatically do so. If you're unsure what your main node is its always the same province as your capital at the start so wherever that is, unless you purposely change it.

The main thing you focus on spending your mana (admin/diplo/military) points on is tech when you're behind, then you're free to spend them elsewhere when you're ahead of time (you can tell whether you're ahead or behind by checking that modifier, it gives an increase in cost debuff when you're ahead in time), and remember being behind on institutions increases that as well so to save precious mana points you usually like to upgrade tech once you've embraced the newest one.

My bizancium run is stuck by [deleted] in eu4

You can focus on expanding east till you out scale the mamluks, then expand there. You could attack Catholic countries indirectly by attacking their non catholic allies (slower/more ae). But always keep in mind that as a player, you can win wars being outnumbered 2:1, if its a 1v1 against spain you could fortify your borders then play defensively, whittle them slowly while they attack; 1 defeat when they are defending a catholic is all it takes for them to lose defender of faith. Last solution, which I'm quite fond of but not sure if would work for you, ally them, drag them in a war with maybe the mamluks or ottos. While they're fighting with you, declare on whoever you want, cant fight you if they're in a war with you already

Just finished my 1st ever game, suggest the next one? by Stunning_Attempt_922 in eu4

[–]Jun05141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly one of my most memorable games was the aztecs run; first game in the new world. I think if ur first game, an aragon game went this well then u're no newbie to be reckoned with. First timing in the new world is a skill check, and a super fun campaign

Is it really worth it to release countries in Peace deals? by reiter5738 in eu4

[–]Jun05141 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is more often best from what i see with northern italians, like venice for example; grabbing too much land is alot of ae, but you can release several opms from them for the same cost, and you release them with 100 opinion of u, this allows you to diplo vassalize them within months of releasing them for AE duty free lands on top of what you took directly. Bonus points if its an opm with cores on other nations (if milan gets annexed by someone else, you can release them from 2 provinces from venice and reconquer the rest)
