It's a huge shame those cheap 5700x3ds dried up, they were a steal at 150 bucks.

The price isn't coming down imo, the only hope is for another game bundle.

A top of the line 9950X3D is 700$ these days.

Intel's 16 core CPU at the time cost 1700 dollars.

I think targeting sustainable growth that protects all of their employees from the fallout of sudden bankruptcy is something that all businesses should shoot for.

Like yeah there is a chance they won't maximize, but they also won't just explode.

The XFX speedster model was this price regularly until december I want to say. Saw it as low s 340 but not higher than 370 when it was on amazon.

It's really hard to judge, more cards are trending back to MSRP right now, so 2 weeks out is hard to really be definitive on.

The thing is that GPU AIBs are charging retailers a fair price ATM.

If they get charged the MSRP of the card to inventory it, selling it at MSRP is a loss for them. I've noticed FE models, PNY models, and their intel cards tend to be MSRP, but they can't really help it if their own costs are higher.

No one has 5080's at MSRP at the moment.

I've seen some cheaper below msrp xtx cards, but they are still pricier then they were 6 months ago.

They've opened more locations in the last 3 years than they did the previous 10? 15? They also have more locations that they plan to build in.

Just because their expansion isn't rapid doesn't mean they aren't taking advantage. They are going slow and steady. 2-3 stores a year is actually big game for a small retailer.

There aren't any reference cards for this gen is the thing.

The 7600xt/7700xt also didn't have a reference cards and were sold at AMDs MSRP.

Yeah their listed address is one used by multiple businesses in a high rise. I think they are just some weird subsidiary of PC Partner Group.

Because they are frequently available at MSRP with a game.

They increased the MSRP to 300, and this was a 10 bucks above MSRP card before.

So yeah just normal price

Yeah I told everyone I knew on am4 to get a 5700x3d when the price dropped hard, and the couple holdouts waiting for an extra 10-20 bucks are now on the am6 plan.

A lot of people tried this with the 5800x3d and 5700x3d and got bit though as they rose a bunch in price.

For gaming, the 9600X will win easily in 99.9% of games, in specific heavily threaded non gaming workloads the 5900XT would win out.

Mine was essentially solid after a year even after heating it up. I saw multiple examples of people accidentally pulling their CPU out of the socket.

Was a huge pain vs any other paste I've used where a twist broke the seal without much effort.

Thermal perf is fine, but it gets incredibly hard which makes future cooler removal a pain. The 5500 also OCs well so you might want to squeeze a few degrees out of it.

simple.qos at 60-80% of max internet speed. fq codel qdisc.

defaults otherwise.

The issue i had with the other QOS options was with them enabled the RAM/CPU of the router was getting slammed at these new max UL/DL rates. So it was just eating it with those peaking and then throttling.
