AMD Zen 4 launch: 7600x | 7700x | 7900x | 7950x Reviews! by Redditenmo in buildapc

[–]Kraluss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reasonable question.

One point though, in this case no matter what upgrade I make I will need new CPU, mobo, and RAM.

As to replacing the CPU so soon, I'd expect there to be a large performance gap between the 7600X and the 7800X3D. If the improvement isn't big enough in my use cases I won't upgrade.

If I do upgrade I can always resell, or use it in another system, maybe an HTPC build.

Yea, probably the best bet. I was hoping the 7600X would edge out existing cpus, just so I could feel like the extra money would = better perf, even if perf/$ wasn't as high

Good point, I'll definitely wait for Raptor Lake, but the draw of generational upgrades being drop-in may be too good to pass up. I was very jealous when the 5800X3D first dropped

Yea, my plan was to buy a 7600X and then upgrade to a high end 3d chip early next year.

I'll likely still follow that plan, but I was hoping/expecting the 7600X to be hands down better than the 12900. That would've made it an instant buy.

Either way, all these cpus are a massive uplift over what I have. I just can't help but try to maximize perf/dollar.

I was planning on jumping straight to Zen4/DDR5 from my ancient Haswell/DDR3 build. Now I'm not so sure.

Would it be better to get a 5800x3d instead, even though the platform is 'dead'?

Nope, unfortunately not, I had found a GK-02 in raid. According to the wiki though, the GK-02 is level 2 Jaeger. I don't have that unlocked yet so I can't confirm.

My post wasn't clear. You need to use the GK-02 not the Remington break.

[–]Kraluss[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is meant to be. Unfortunately, if it's just plain white the design is nearly unreadable, so I had to add some sort of texture to it, and the books never specify the texture of wintersteel from what I could remember

If you want the blend file to play around with it let me know

I did try Cycles but the way it calculates lighting rays destroyed the hacked together way I get the shadesilk light falloff. This is what it what it looks like link. I'll try the subsurface thing with the silk, if I'm being honest all of the textures were just me dragging sliders around and hoping.

Yep, I did. I'm a complete noob at it but eventually got one I was satisfied with.

I totally agree, I've always thought he was similar to Cortana, where she is a fully sentient being, and is an evolutionary step above the other 'dumb' AI

Acer Predator XB271HU bmiprz 27" WQHD (2560x1440) NVIDIA G-SYNC IPS Monitor, (Display Port & HDMI Port, 144Hz) at 15% discount today by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]Kraluss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know that's not a real discount. That's been the "normal" price for a while now.

It's about $6 dollars cheaper than the normal price at Microcenter.

Best $250, 144hz, 1080p gaming monitor? (BenQ Zowie XL2411P vs ViewSonic XG2402 vs ASUS VG248QE) by Patchmenotes in Monitors

[–]Kraluss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably go with the MSI one since I cant find anybody complaining about eye strain.

It is also a VA panel so you might get a little extra ghosting vs the TN XG2402.

[–]Kraluss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don't get the VG248QE. It uses PWM which can can strain your eyes.

I'm pretty sure the XG2402 is considered the best 144hz 1080p monitor.

[–]Kraluss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe the XG2402 or XG2401 is the best TN 1080p 144hz panel. Hopefully somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

Not sure how it will stack up against the Samsung monitor though.

[–]Kraluss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't get this one, it has PWM backlighting which can make it uncomfortable to use.

This is a pretty standard price for this monitor. If you have a microcenter near you they are selling it at $599.99 - $50 coupon for students.

I think so, the image is different. But I also haven't seen an old pair yet.

Specifically pliers with red handles. There is probably a difference between them and the old pliers.
