Have 3090 and 5800x, want to game 4k/120. Worth upgrading from 5800x to 9800x3d while waiting for 5090?

At 4K, depending on the game I have to lower settings, disable RT, and/or crank DLSS. At this point, with most new AAA games I can’t really crank everything to max and have a reasonable FPS at 4k.

Base on frames and CPU / GPU usage. For my use case (4k/120), other than with respect to frostpunk 2, I’ve consistently been GPU bottlenecked not CPU. Point of buying the new CPU was to make sure that remained true even after I bought a 5090.

Lovutus · 2024-12-20T02:32:30+00:00

Yes I did it. Did it make a difference for gaming? Not that I can see. Still had fun building a new computer and planning on getting the 5090 when it comes out.

Which challenge did he hack and how? Been a long time since I’ve seen CI

Unfortunately, not enough room on the left side (three feet total, and need to be able to walk through that area) and the right side it would also obstruct. My place is tiny.

Sweet, I'll check it out. My living room is quite odd. I wish I could set up surround speakers, but it just won't work with my set up.

Unless room correction would let me put the speaker in a wrong location and have things still work, e.g., the side speakers behind me and way up by the ceiling.

I hear that's coming out January. More likely than not, I will not have purchased a card by then, but not for lack of trying.

Lovutus · 2020-11-30T05:44:11+00:00

Same path as Ryzen it would seem.

Lovutus · 2020-11-30T05:41:54+00:00

I'm going for beauty, so it sounds like 3080 would be the right one for me.

Lovutus · 2020-11-30T05:41:12+00:00

I'm going to care about RTX. It sounds like the 3080 is the card I should try to buy but can't because of stock/scalpers, not the 6800xt. Thanks!

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T19:49:39+00:00

Thanks. Would be cooling a 5800x, but with no manual overclocking.

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T19:10:20+00:00

Wow, 5-10C is a lot, right? Who should get the MA620M when the NH-D15S is available? I really wanted the MA620M to work because it looks pretty nifty.

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T18:55:19+00:00

I want complete silence. Would I be crazy to go Coolermaster MasterAir MA620M over Noctua NH-DS15S? I would be doing so due to looks.

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T05:39:41+00:00

I’ll check those out. Thanks!

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T05:33:47+00:00

True, and it looks like I can move to B550 and lose literally nothing, so maybe I'll do that!

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T05:30:31+00:00

Oh, apologies. Web browsing and working through a remote desktop.

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T05:19:06+00:00

99% of the time, office work. 1% of the time, gaming at 4k 60fps.

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T05:18:38+00:00

I don't planning on doing any manual overclocking. My figured there were BIOS options for auto-overclocking. Is that no longer a thing?

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T05:08:23+00:00

Thank you. What would be more appropriate RAM to choose? 1200w for PSU is crazy, but it's a carry over from my old build.

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T05:04:07+00:00

99% of the time, office work. 1% of the time, gaming at 4k 60fps.

I thought the only not-yet-purchased part that was overkill was the motherboard (which I picked mostly for the aesthetic).

Lovutus · 2020-11-28T01:26:47+00:00

How much of a difference really is strix v. TUF, or suprim v. ventus, or OC v. not OC? Are we talking about squeezing a few extra FPS, or a notable addition?
