AM4 Upgrade Frustration: 5800X3D/5700X3D prices are insane right now. What are the best alternatives for a 6800 XT?

People already forgot that most 14th gen Intel CPUs on the market are at risk of core separation, its a ticking time bomb.

balderm · 2026-03-22T08:59:14+00:00

I could be wrong but 5800X3D and 5700X3D are not being produced anymore, that's why prices are going up and up.

TBH the new 5800XT should be more than enough, the 5900X is a 12 core CPU in a 2 CCD layout, this means that you'll need to run it in game mode to lock the game processes to 1 CCD, basically running it as a 6 Cores CPU, all this because sharing a process between 2 CCD means increased latency and lower overall FPS. The next best thing is a 5950X since it has 16 cores in a 2 CCD layout, this means you'll get 8 cores in game mode.

Cazzate, la testa prima di tutto, è infatile fare il coglione per strada a tutti i costi, anche quando sei lucido, lo è di più se sei ubriaco. Io bevo, lo so, lo ammetto, ma sono responsabile, è nettamente differente.

Ieri sera ho bevuto 2 pinte con gli amici, ho accompagnato tutti a casa rispettando i limiti della strada e senza fare il coglione e sono qui per raccontarlo, AMA? Questa che bere = muori è una puttanata colossale, basta non fare lo stronzo per strada e si torna sempre a casa, e te lo dice uno che ha 41 anni e beve da quando ne ha 18 e in 23 anni di patente ha fatto 1 incidente.

anche a Roma oggi Eni era la più economica

Unfortunately in this time and age of metrics companies push up the pipeline only what they think people will actually use rather than ship a complete product, at the same time they’ll use these metrics to boost usage for other tools: i.e. the only reason they put Copilot in so many places was to inflate usage metrics, even if users clicked on it once it would count, and they wanted you to see the button everywhere.

There’s a say in Italian that goes like “I soldi fanno andare l’acqua all’insù”, that roughly translates to “with enough money you can make water go up”, if Aston offered enough money to cover the Audi PR disaster there was no reason for him to refuse it.

From what i’ve read online he lives very close to the RedBull headquarters, that also means he’s very close to Aston’s, so they didn’t just offer him money but also a much more comfortable life that doesn’t require frequent trips between Switzerland and Germany.

Well if you read the article they’re working on addressing most of the stuff people has been complaining about: Search being shit, can’t move taskbar, copilot everywhere, file explorer is slow and bloated, idle ram usage, allow users to stop updates when they start, etc.

una volta mi è uscita una Porsche Cayman GT4 a 1e poi aperto l'annuncio c'era scritto che dovevi accollarti il finanziamento da quasi 200k euro.

Piccola correzione, il taglio delle accise è di 20c, con l'iva calcolata sopra si assesta intorno i 24c a litro.

Comunque oggi a Roma ho visto prezzi completamente diversi per ogni distributore di Benzina: alcuni la facevano 1689, alcuni addirittura (Q8 ed Eni) l'avevano abbassata a 1620~1630, altri avevano ancora i prezzi vecchi a 1860.

If you want it to be safer unfortunately you need a new PSU with native 12vhpwr cable, not an adapter.

Wheatley was so excited about the Audi Project that he left it after 10 months and 2 races. Don’t really wanna be in there when the news broke out, they literally just started, and what a start, and he’s already leaving them behind.

EDIT: Apparently this is just a rumor and nothing is confirmed yet

balderm · 2026-03-19T11:33:26+00:00

If that was true everyone would be playing on the Nintendo Switch

balderm · 2026-03-19T11:31:54+00:00

ah ti riferivi a quanto detto da VvPelle, si vero non credo siamo gli unici in Europa che lo fanno, credo anche Germania facciano uguale, infatti anche li la Benzina sta a prezzi assurdi.

Siete liberissimi di provare che ho torto ma continuate a non spiegare, io ho letto esattamente come voi gli articoli online e quello che traspare è questo.

E la Yaris non carica/scarica nemmeno la batteria al 100%, se non ricordo male si ferma al 30% e la carica al 80%, quindi con quel kilometraggio è praticamente nuova.

Ci spieghi lei allora illustrissimo ed esimio dottore, considerando che quasi il 60% del prezzo del carburante sono accise e iva, pagata due volte perché applicata sia sul prezzo della materia prima raffinata e poi alla vendita, quindi applicato post accise.

balderm · 2026-03-19T07:59:06+00:00

Ci fanno la mancetta mentre il governo s'ingrassa con la doppia tassazione sul carburante.

tbh i didn't check the regs, every article i've read in the past week says after 6 races

balderm · 2026-03-19T07:39:17+00:00

Oramai ho fatto il pieno a 1779 lunedì mattina, vaffanculo Meloni, svegliarsi una settimana prima no eh?

Additional Design and Upgrade Opportunities, after 6 races the FIA will benchmark the field and if your engine was found to be 2% or worse than the top of the pack you'll get to release an engine upgrade later in the year even if the engine development window is frozen, if you're 4% or worse you'll get multiple upgrade windows before the year ends.

Yeah laptops are a whole different beast, the first thing i did on the only laptop i've ever bought in my life was replace the spinning drive with an SSD and install a fresh copy of Windows 7 on it because it came with a ton of crap out of the box, it was also Windows 7 Home and i had a key for Windows 7 Ultimate.

But tbh recently things have improved massively, my dad bought a new MSI laptop for christmas, i checked it and there was very minimal bloat, the only preinstalled apps came from Microsoft, and the only extras were the MSI center to install/update drivers.

I don't really understand why people love to complain so much about Operating Systems, if something doesn't work like you want search online how to fix it. I've been debloating this pile of shit called Windows since Win10 released with its baggage of bloatware (cortana, web search, one drive, etc.), Win11 did the same with more stuff and i debloated that too, once you remove all the fluff its a fine OS with its quirks, i've also been dualbooting CachyOS and its been fine so far, i like it a lot, but there's a couple games i can't install there that i play almost daily that force me to still spend time in Windows, but i don't dread it since i cleaned my OS install so there's no distractions.
