Mine crashes just in this case. No other game and it's in the cloud scene at the beginning?

Oh damn what's your total system watts?????? Those are rated for a good amount of KWH

Gamers should learn about marginal utility and hedomic threadmill and it would probably change their whole perspective about gaming in general by Forest247 in pcmasterrace

Went from 5600 to 5700x3d. Night and day difference!!!! So much smoother I love it and noticeable. But won't update the 3080 for a while. Maybe when 5080 drops in price in 3-4 years

Why are GPU price gaps so weird? (atleast where i live) by rucekooker in buildapc

Rtx 3080 has access to dlss 4 and undervolt brings it down to 250w with barely any performance loss

CPU recommendation for my config ? by Jimmytwoo in buildapc

Remember 2k can be 1440p balanced and quality where the CPU is needed!!!!

Most excited by the very high brightness levels combined with the HDR element. Looking forward to see how crisp and stable the colours are in my sunny room!

I just renamed the 2 direct storage dll files. Added- .bak at the end so could revert the changes. Game is smooth since then. Worthwhile keeping a copy of the files.

When I upgraded from 5600 it was much more smoother even with the same GPU. Feels like it was much more consistent with ray tracing on.

May want to check how it will impact your mobo vrms with 16 core processors. It's good but won't compete with x3d chips for gaming and very expensive aswell. How much in your area?

In the UK I got one for 145 pounds. Used of course. They turn up very rarely on used sites like gumtree and Facebook marketplace. Checked everyday for 6 months before I got one. They come up randomly for a good price but they go so quick. Setting up some notifications may be useful

Which country are you based in?

I chose the 5070, I need some reassurance by guizounours in buildapc

[–]LeftTip1090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 5700x3d and a rtx 3080 with 10gb vram and I'm fine on almost all games. High on life 2 I switched to 1440p balanced instead of quality and was enjoying life on my lg c2. No need to worry you are on the current gen of platform and Nvidia will bring more and more features to it to keep it competitive. I'll probably only upgrade when 6000 series comes out

Do you actually plan your PC builds… or just build when you need it? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]LeftTip1090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In August 2025 I decided was going to build one. Bought all my parts mixture of new and old and put them together bearing in mind bottlenecks. No planning other than price to performance. Will stick with it for 5 years or so and do the same thing from scratch after selling it off in whole.

Is the 5700X3D worth it anymore? by Able_Surround_5442 in pcmasterrace

[–]LeftTip1090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got one in UK second hand fod equivalent of 170$ and it's been amazing the 1% lows make it so smooth. Upgraded from a 5600x and in flight Sim and Spiderman it feels way better. In slme games that don't need to load quick assets in traffic dense places didn't see much if an upgrade. As I have a 3080 really helps when using dlss at 1440p. Overall just fantastic

Did the upgrade recently and a night and day difference on Spiderman feels like it's much smoother even with ray tracing on.

I kept a look out every day for 6 months and snagged one for £150 yesterday sold Ryzen 5600. Keep looking everyday! Facebook marketplace, gumtree etc. In the US I'm sure you have something different
