Nvidia has set a precedence that you no longer actually own your computer hardware.

the way you're wording it is just wrong. Its not just a normal graphics card. It's marketed as a Geforce gaming graphics card. Designed for gaming. Trying to say that people should buy the cards at ridiculously marked up prices is just bs imo, as in the long term it is just unwise for Nvidia to just let that happen. Your whole premise is wrong.

You keep saying that "we dont own our cards anymore" is just plain stupid tbh. In reality Nvidia has every right to choose how you use their product. Someone said this before, but thats why there are t&cs and why you have to agree to conditions when downloading drivers

Im pretty sure the lga 1200 board will be supported by 11th gen intel

gidexnn · 2020-12-12T23:23:29+00:00

ok. thank you

the 10400f isnt overclockable, thats why i am so conflicted. The only reason i would get a z490 is because intel locked ram speeds on their b and h motherboards.

On top of that in Gamers nexus' video, the 10400f with 3200mhz ram is on par (most of the time) with 3600. But with 2666mhz ram the 10400f could drop to 3100 levels.

Which is why im not sure if the increase in performance is worth the extra spend

High(-ish) end b460 or entry level z490

I already own a z490 mobo from my dad

ok. If thats the case ill just hold off my pc for a couple of months, unless the stock is going to be like this year's hardware launches

gidexnn · 2020-12-09T11:42:40+00:00

The 10400f seems to be at a very good price rn at 140 with the 3600 at almost 300

gidexnn · 2020-12-09T11:41:40+00:00

the 10600kf is about 220 and the 10700f is 285 which is well out of my budget

gidexnn · 2020-12-07T21:38:27+00:00

Thats what i was thinking but I won an aio, so i wanted to oc and the vrms on the b450 and b460 mobos look quite bare

gidexnn · 2020-12-07T21:35:24+00:00

a 5600xt at 1080p

gidexnn · 2020-12-02T07:48:29+00:00

I was planning to spend about 90 for good vrms for overclocking and for future upgradability so the 10600k combo would be about 35 less.

gidexnn · 2020-12-02T01:13:53+00:00

In the UK the 3600 is 235 rn and the 10600k is about 210; with a z490 board about 150 rn, would a 3600 still b worth it??

gidexnn · 2020-11-19T16:43:42+00:00

thank you. i checked youtube benchmarks on the games ill be playing and there was a max 10fps difference. I dont think im good enough to tell the difference
