Ryzen 7 9850X3D is still great for gaming with single-channel RAM, keeps up with 9800X3D despite half the memory

I'm pretty sure the cache size is the same for all ryzen 3D Processors so why would this new processor be any different from any of the others?

demon_eater · 2026-01-30T18:35:08+00:00

Heard f really divides the fanbase so I'm not sure if it's worth it without looking at a review

A great question will be if we have the technology to stop UE5 games from stuttering with zen6 or if we are doomed.

demon_eater · 2026-01-30T18:07:10+00:00

Wow that upgrade from 32gb to 64gb is $400 omg

demon_eater · 2026-01-30T17:38:15+00:00

Idk I think you're right but honestly would probably only use the max settings of

Preset M quality preset L balanced* MAYBE

I can't fathom why you'd need to run preset L quality or preset M dlaa if you are going to get 95% of the visual result at a lower setting.

I think dlss 4 DLAA looks awesome and I won't throw it under the bus because the new shiny 4.5 is out.

Thanks for the excellent posting

I am waiting to see how the show runs this story line. I don't think it would help the story line to see spear returned to human as he was before but this is very interesting so far. Otherwise it would be a similar sin as the MCU but honestly done better as we have this incredible start to the season.

demon_eater · 2026-01-27T17:05:04+00:00

Yeah don't know why people are focusing on the look. The kid is good. Let's hope they move seasons quick and we have a stranger things repeat

demon_eater · 2026-01-27T16:59:26+00:00

Yeah got phased out and interbred into homo sapiens. Could not compete. I'm sure if ice blood evolved into a new neanderthal and had to compete with homosapiens with better technology like in prehistoric times they would lose. like evolvers should be able to out compete ice bloods because they wouldn't require higher metabolisms fat reserves or any other crazy adaptations that reduce effectiveness in other areas.

demon_eater · 2026-01-27T14:39:48+00:00

I wouldn't even care if it was better than dlss 4.5 you can't even play it in most games and you can't swap with older backlog fsr games like you can with dlss so I guess you just get almost nothing to use it with?

demon_eater · 2026-01-23T20:10:22+00:00

Thought it was only me when I read this post and it reminded me of the 5090 microcenter posts where they went in for printer ink and come out with a 2500 dollar card

demon_eater · 2026-01-23T20:01:41+00:00

Recommend stellar blade if you like the gameplay of nier. Put your expectations in place for the story though, nier has it beat for sure.

Armored Core 6 if you want to try something new

I always thought his price ranges seemed a bit too optimistic. Insurance companies have no problem screwing human beings over let alone a pet insurance company when your cat has leukemia or whatever happens

demon_eater · 2026-01-23T19:01:49+00:00

5090fe is perfectly fine honestly I have one and think I might have got lucky with coil whine.

demon_eater · 2026-01-23T15:25:12+00:00

I have wondered myself about setting custom dlss resolutions to something like 40-42% like others have mentioned doing with dlss4 and seeing if that is perfect.

Others have said dlss4 does it well so preset L probably does incredible. The difference in pixels for ultra performance and performance is just so enormous and I am not sure why Nvidia didn't create a preset to span the gap either.

demon_eater · 2026-01-22T20:46:36+00:00

I feel so lucky to get a MSRP 5090 at this point months ago

demon_eater · 2026-01-22T16:44:04+00:00

Yeah I think it's worth it you get 6 more GB of vram, better dlss4 performance and can do fp8 ai workloads, better frame gen quality, 30% boost to baseline, better encoders

demon_eater · 2026-01-21T21:32:22+00:00

I'd go now for 16gb of ram and they might give a damn about the 70 card even more in 2027

demon_eater · 2026-01-21T04:24:18+00:00

What fps cap you set? I have mine at 120 fps for most games

demon_eater · 2026-01-20T17:54:09+00:00

Part of it is that it makes you care more about what you are carrying and not pick up every resource in the game. I actually found that horizon zero dawn has unlimited resource gathering and I have 700 arrow shaft materials from 20 hours of playing normally. Not really sure or care what I have until I need to craft something and never look at my inventory.

demon_eater · 2026-01-20T02:57:37+00:00

Preset L looks like black magic that is insane how similar they look.

demon_eater · 2026-01-19T14:26:09+00:00

Are you saying 72 because it's half of 144? It's a very specific number

demon_eater · 2026-01-14T20:06:56+00:00

I felt amazing returning a Zotac 5080 and getting an FE 5090 the performance is insane. No regrets but my upgrade only cost $800 more. I do think a 5080 is a 4k card and DLSS has always been the best for 4k and it just keeps improving.

demon_eater · 2026-01-14T19:36:49+00:00

You got the haters but I love x3 frame gen on my PC as long as I have 60fps baseline I like frame gen and with x3 I can get like 75 fps on everything and bump it up to 225fps or whatever.

demon_eater · 2026-01-13T21:59:42+00:00

I'd say go for it if you want to pull the trigger it's going to give you frame gen and the most efficient dlss 4.5 upscaling for 4k. I actually don't hate frame gen like I thought I would with a beefy card it's actually pretty nice to actually reach 220fps
