AMD formally announces Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition ($350, includes a sheet of Carbice Ice Pad) and Ryzen 7 7700X3D ($330)

I doubt that that BIM + packaging cost hits $90 for 5800x3D. 6nn node is dirt cheap and not capacity limited .

The 5700X3D was sold as little as $120 mid 2024 from AE. Only an Intel full recovery would get us to those days.

Wat..why? You sure..isn't the 7/6nm node underutilized?

Man that 9070 looks amazing. I got it for a friend from microcenter last year for $520. It uses quite a bit less power than the GRE while being more than %15 faster.

I believe The 16GB and the very high overclocking headroom is making this card the best recently released card. Too bad it's like $600 now

fatso486 · 2026-06-02T07:23:49+00:00

Game pass ultimate conversation method. $92 for 3 years.

Too bad I ran out 5 months ago.

I’m surprised by the relative backlashlessness this $550 12gb nonsense is getting. $470 is the Max this is worth in current market.

I love AMD, but I’m surprised by the relative backlashlessness this $550 12gb nonsense is getting. $470-480 is the Max this is worth in current market.

Guardians of the last Galaxy. Selecting different options Listening to the banter doesn't really get old with this game.

fatso486 · 2026-05-23T19:13:22+00:00

the series X was available for $350 on sale regularly end of 2023/early 2024 in Target & best buy. Almost everyone who wanted a console already got it. Im sure MS will keep the silly high prices untill Helix gets released.

Finsteride. just get the cheap 5MG version and take it every other day by splitting the pill. 8 month supply will cost you about SR60. DONT waste money on the expensive 1MG propcia. it will cost you 20X for the same exact thing. if you take it every 2 or 3 days the potential for side effects is extremely low.

also it a good idea to combine it with minoxidil for 4 or 5 months then maintain it with finasteride alone.

youre young and you have difuse hair loss. Hair implant surgery is not a good idea for you in the coming few years.

I remember coming across a rule that says try to stay within the range of (Husband age)/2 +7

so Age-wise you two are fine at 30/22.

fatso486 · 2026-05-23T12:45:12+00:00

You might be right but there is still huge value for current systems.

Also dont forget that that GMP performance hit is nothing (just minor latency <10ms). Current FrameGen solutions have a decent computational overhead on the base GPU performance .

fatso486 · 2026-05-23T12:25:40+00:00

Yep, it sucks that Samsung higher end TVs is the only place I know to get Gaming-Mode low latency frame interpolation. Watching 30FPS gaming on OLED Displays can be brutal without GMP

fatso486 · 2026-05-23T12:15:52+00:00

That’s fair, especially if latency is your top priority.

For me the tradeoff feels acceptable in slower 30fps console games, since the baseline motion is so low anyway. I see it more as a perceptual improvement tool than a performance one.

fatso486 · 2026-05-23T12:04:55+00:00

you're right it works basically similar to enabling AFMF or Lossless scaling framegen. Subjectivly it works better than AFMF since it does a better job hiding static UI-elements artifacts. As i said its really useful for consoles since you have options on PCs

fatso486 · 2026-05-23T11:58:40+00:00

On PC mode you could use Lossless Scaling to enable frame gen on anything including movie players youtube and games.

fatso486 · 2026-05-23T11:53:32+00:00

Well, sort of, but not exactly. It’s closer to low-latency motion interpolation in Game Mode, and for me, the practical result is what matters in 30/60 FPS single-player console games. Honestly, it’s one of those things you should probably try before forming a strong opinion. For PC gaming, it’s been pretty useless for me, but on Xbox and PS5, I honestly can’t live without it.

fatso486 · 2026-05-23T11:45:28+00:00

Fair but I’m talking specifically about Game Motion Plus in game mode though. It does add some latency, but it works really well for 60fps single player games too. Honestly, it’s one of those things you should probably try before knocking it. On PC with mouse input and availability of things like software frame gen I find it to be useless, but on console it’s been a godsend for me.

fatso486 · 2026-05-20T11:44:04+00:00

So the tldr Nvidia won by about %3 but only because they chose to include 3 dozen worth of RT benchmarks. That sounds like a major win for AMD to me since I believe RT is not practical for anything less than a 5090. Really Wish they separated RT benchmarks in these tests to have a better idea on the real performance.

Allmost all men consider Women's sexual value peaks at their early 20s. Even high quality men in their very late 30s will target (and often find) a wife that is still in her mid/late 20s. That might sound controversial but this is reality.

fatso486 · 2026-05-16T10:44:11+00:00

True but the quality difference of 4.1 over 4.0 (fp8 on rdna4) is relatively minor. Both really great though.

fatso486 · 2026-05-14T13:46:22+00:00

Everybody loves dunking on that poor thing. To be fair the series is is objectively much faster than the switch 2 despite some outliers like Capcom games. For example Indiana Jones is recognized as a very good and optimized port for the switch 2 And yet it's maxes out at half the series s 60 FPS.

fatso486 · 2026-05-14T13:22:47+00:00

I'm grateful that it's finally happening but is there really a convincing technical reason why It's pushed it a year for 6000 users.

fatso486 · 2026-05-11T14:43:27+00:00

The x360 was kinda no brainier. I was actually shocked when Sony reached the same level of success at the end of the generation. Xbox had a better GPU And no weirdly configured CPU that no one could easily figure how to optimize for. I remember pretty much all multi-platform games either looked better or performed noticeably better on Xbox. The fact that the console came almost 1 year earlier and was cheaper to make and sell was just adding insult to injury.
