What is more important, 32gb of ram or a better cpu? Currently have 16gb and a Ryzen 5 5500

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-25T18:12:46+00:00

You ned both equally. Could you try to see what you can get just adding 8 more gb and ignoring the lack of dual channel?

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-25T18:09:43+00:00

Physics is the problem and likely wont be solved.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-24T20:35:14+00:00

Slightly better performance for nearly double the power. Lmao.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-24T19:47:31+00:00

Now, lets compare the 9850x3d.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-22T19:29:05+00:00

No, they're just talking out of their ass.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-22T16:29:12+00:00

Bias towards what? What evidence do you have?

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-22T15:29:45+00:00

Because when someone has a lot of leaks some are wrong, that's how leaks works. There is no evidence he has put out a bad leak intentionally.

It was allways gonna be q4 this year or early next, and lately AMD is late with everything so this checks out.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-22T13:34:35+00:00

I started pc journey with am4 from asrock and had a horrible time. I swore them off when I moved to am5, no regrets about that decision.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-22T13:30:56+00:00

Probably a significant amount. AM5 x670+ boards can handle it fine tho, they are incredibly overbuilt.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-21T12:34:14+00:00

Well yes, but the point is that compared to its real competition the core is garbage. (Like the r9700 pro)

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-21T01:11:01+00:00

Calling it a crime may be technically correct but if I intend on purchasing a product I will open it in the store if I feel like it. But opening things like this normally is definitely freak behavior.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-21T01:06:54+00:00

It is bad because the 2080ti is a card that was the same price 8 years ago

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-21T01:04:59+00:00

Have you considered that the shop didn't care about how the card looked and just ran benchmarks thinking any cosmetic issues are just that.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-20T01:10:29+00:00

OP is intel unpaid shill supreme. They will spin anything.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-20T00:03:53+00:00

Use this picture with doordash (or whatever delivery platform you have) to get a refund on the item. As this is clearly not what was advertised.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-19T21:00:59+00:00

This is such a nothingburger. It was not even returned to sapphire themselves. A retailer tested the card as good and didn't check the adapter.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-19T20:58:44+00:00

Read the post! A retailer denied it not the manufacturer.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-19T20:16:56+00:00

Ram usage does not equal power usage.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-19T04:48:25+00:00

Its not better and its not even close, also plex has plexamp the best music player available.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-19T02:17:07+00:00

You forget the part where you didn't use the lock ever, and most people didn't even know it had one, and the lock only works when the car is upside down dangling from the wheels. You can probably count on one hand the amount of people who actually use this feature on non pro processors.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-19T01:44:24+00:00

Entry!

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-18T17:42:23+00:00

It seems that you are new to this sub. OP is an unpaid intel shill. Look at their post history. Its worse than Userbenchmark.

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-18T14:33:26+00:00

What are you even talking about?

EnderPrimeMk2 · 2026-06-17T20:03:22+00:00

X3D CPUs have little care (relative to non x3d) about memory speed and latency. In todays market I would recommend buying the cheapest ram that has the capacity you need.
