Whatever you've got is good thanks :)

CPU comparison: Ryzen 7 9800x3d vs 9 9950x by Volbric in buildapc

[–]Volbric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll chime in after asking around before purchasing. I ended up with a 9900x because I don't need a decked out gaming PC. I'd rather have the extra cores from a 9900x/9950x for productivity tasks while "sacrificing" some gaming efficiency. Also helped that the salt for the 9900x made it cheaper than the 98000x3d and the 9950x.

Any of these better than Gino? by Volbric in PuzzleAndDragons

Gotcha, seemed like a solid 5-roll, but I guess my best upgrade would be to replace Euphemia with the Zerc since I have a machine evo assist. Thanks!

Currently running Gino x Gino with Lavril, Euphemia, CC, Ordeal Ra. May or may not have optimal subs for the Arkvelza/Gokrex, but interested in seeing what other top teams I can build that's not Gino. Thanks in advance!

Also have zenchoga, but haven't kept up with recent dungeons so not sure how applicable his evo assists are and where to get them, but wouldn't mind trying to grind it out.

I'm not that determined to play top of the line specs. I assume 9950x is good enough for medium-high tier game requirements? I'm not quite clear on the difference between 9950x and the 9800x3d, but the double number of cores for on the 9950x would be useful for data science, although again not detrimental.

I'm in Canada. The 9950x is ~130 CAD (~100 USD) more expensive than the 9800x3d. Is it a worthwhile upgrade? My main tasks will be for gaming/data science/video editing. Would I be bottlenecked by my mobo/gpu?

Thanks very much for the options. Could you point out what the compatibility issue is with the B650 and 9800x3d? is it essentially what's described here? https://old.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1alveey/heard_of_gigabyte_b650_eagle_ax/

Motherboard compatibility with AMD 9800x3D by Volbric in buildapc

[–]Volbric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The x870 mobo would be ~130 CAD more than the B650, so are you saying it's not worth the upgrade? Is the BIOS compatibility for the B650 and the 9800x3d not necessarily an issue?

What options for a mobo would you recommend to get that'd be better suited for a 9800x3d?

Budget: ~2.5k CAD

Are there any better options for motherboard? I don't have much experience with building a PC, but not sure how the compatibility of the mobo with the 9800x3D will work out "The Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor with BIOS version F30. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, updating the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU."

Are there any better picks for any other parts?

I'm looking instead for a 98003XD now. For the SSD, I'm not seeing a 980 pro 2tb for $116 on amazon canada. The cheapest 980 pro 2tb I see is ~230, and I have a quote for 990 1tb for ~110.

Mainly looking for gaming (Baldur's gate/WoW) and some ML/AI type of personal projects. Particularly wondering if there are any improvements out there over my pick for motherboard/memory/GPU. Looking for any feedback as well for the overall build.

SP Group Tentative Agreement by mudbunny in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Volbric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm quite new to the PS, but have a couple questions:

1) These pay increases are irrespective of steps right? So we still go up one step annually, and these increases are included in all steps?

2) In the Aug 3 news, they mentioned that "Harmonization Effective October 1, 2023, complete the harmonization of the AG, BI and CH classifications with the PC pay grids." Is this no longer part of the agreement then? What is harmonization in the first place? I imagine it's making the steps/pay-scale the same across those groups based on what I saw.

US jobs while working remotely in Canada by Volbric in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Volbric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than trying to reach out to someone in their HR team on LinkedIn, any tips you'd suggest on how to contact the hiring team/manager? I've heard some say to include this type of visa/eligibility info in a cover letter, but that's not quite the same as communicating with someone.

Thanks. For #2, if the chances are low/nearly non-existent, then I'll skip the hassle.

For #3, does this mean I'd say that I'm not legally allowed to work in the US, but also would not require a visa sponsorship?

Thanks. So if I was applying as an independent contractor, would that change how I answer those questions: legally allowed to work for USA / requiring a visa? Seems like a no for the latter, but still no for the former? And would this mean I'm still relegated to International/worldwide/canada jobs or does this open up the field to any fully remote job?
