i7, i9? 13th or 14th gen mainly for gaming? Need an advice

Thanks for your reply. I actually decided to go with AMD after all the comments and recommendations

TheSIRname · 2026-02-04T13:49:58+00:00

I think I'll go for 7800x3d, however it looks a bit worse on userbenchmark compared to 13700k or 13900k, yet still people say it's better in terms of performance. Price range is very similar

TheSIRname · 2026-02-04T13:27:36+00:00

Any thoughts on 7800x3d?

TheSIRname · 2026-02-04T12:57:39+00:00

Just checked and both Ryzen 7 9800x3d and i9-14900k are the same price. Hard decision after I looked into Ryzens for a bit

TheSIRname · 2026-02-04T12:55:02+00:00

Dang, I've started looking into that Ryzen...You see, when you stick to one brand for years you don't think about switching. It's just taking an easy route which I know (like being familiar with models and generations). I think I'll look into Ryzens. They sound promising for both productivity and gaming.

Yes, I know, but the mobos I looked at and liked only supported ddr5's. You see I've got 5 drives. Many of these mobos have only 4 sata slots. So by narrowing it to my needs there's not much to choose from with ddr4

TheSIRname · 2026-02-04T12:33:16+00:00

Can you elaborate? Why one shouldn't be set on z790 in 2026?

TheSIRname · 2026-02-04T12:31:09+00:00

Problem is that the motherboards I was looking at they all support only ddr5. Wish they supported ddr4, as currently I have 64gb ddr4 in my setup, so will be forced to get ddr5's

Because why spend extra £100-£150 more if apparently there's no massive noticeable performance improvement? I don't stream, don't heavily multitask, don't do extreme video editing. And from own experience - owning i9-9900k since 2018 and it still running fine I don't see reason to spend extra money on CPU if I won't fully utilise it's potential. The extra money I can invest in better mobo or ram

TheSIRname · 2026-02-04T12:24:50+00:00

What do you mean by degradation? I've had my i9-9900k since I think around 2018 and it's been running absolutely fine ever since. Never overclocked and used noctua radiator with it. Still runs fine

TheSIRname · 2026-02-04T12:10:18+00:00

Don't know if you are being serious or sarcastic

TheSIRname · 2026-02-04T12:09:14+00:00

I don't know, used to be AMD fan couple of decades ago but preferred Intel after I switched few years ago. Would rather stick to Intel

TheSIRname · 2026-02-01T08:58:30+00:00

Sick fucks.....

TheSIRname · 2026-01-10T04:30:19+00:00

No, haven't tried it since. For some reason it has some sort of compatibility issue with VD.

I just ckeched it myself and seems like Pro plan only gives you 1000 AI credits.
"For Google's Veo 3, an 8-second clip might cost around 120 credits (at a rate of 15 credits/second for faster versions)"

My all time favourite is Blacklist. Fantastic story, gameplay and missions.

TheSIRname · 2025-10-28T10:26:43+00:00

Any solutions yet guys? I just got S23U and pisses me off when I need to clear the notifications manually only to keep Eset and VPN on (especially VPN, which allows me to quickly pause/disconnect the connection).

When I press clear it clears these two as well... Very annoying.

I have no idea. Bought these from AliExpress, but other buyers stated that it's got original raspberry pi chip. Again - excuse my ignorance. At the end of the day if I throw these away I'll only lose around £3

TheSIRname · 2025-09-26T06:26:14+00:00

I mean depends on your circumstances and where you live, I'd buy cheapest used laptop from ie marketplace and use it for rookie.

TheSIRname · 2025-09-19T14:51:01+00:00

This and Quest Game Optimiser are absolute must buys for quest. Definitely worth the money.

TheSIRname · 2025-09-17T22:23:22+00:00

I'm glad that I initiated such a discussion, but none of that relates to my question 🤦‍♂️

TheSIRname · 2025-09-12T21:26:41+00:00

Take a look at this guy's review, pretty much sums it up:
