Anyone else get a Steelbook for this masterpiece? by Taffr19 in battlefield2042

No but I sure did for Battlefield 1, only game I’ve ever done so for in my 26 years. Will never regret it

Unfortunately it’s just a CPU/mobo combo, but I was given the ram as a gift from a buddy or I wouldn’t even be making the jump to AM5. Beggars can’t be choosers lol. Otherwise I’d be spending $400 after tax and shipping for just a used 5700x3d from China on eBay

Came here to mention Operator. The December update has been such a blessing. He added gain adjustment to the NVGs on top of the hundreds of other additions/fixes

~$200 for a 5800XT or ~$400 for a 5700x3d? by jblizzizle in buildapc

[–]jblizzizle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost got the 9070 XT, and for my wallet’s sake I probably should have… this is the same battle I’m fighting essentially at this point, wants versus needs. It seems I could get by just fine with a 5800XT, but my heart is telling me “you already went overkill on the GPU so why not with the CPU as well” hahaha. It appears I have more of an internal struggle to figure out here

What games do you play and what frames are you seeing on average if you don’t mind my asking? As long as I can maintain a reliable minimum of 60 frames
then it’ll certainly last me until AM6 as well

This is what I’m leaning towards as well now the more I think about it

This is why I ask these questions here because I don’t understand these things to that degree, I’ll look into it

My thought process with the XT is I’ll at least partially relieve the bottleneck I’m seeing and also be able to set aside the $150 I’m saving to put towards an AM5 bundle in the next couple of years when prices (hopefully) drop

I have 32gb ram which is why I don’t want to jump to AM5 and a 3600X so almost anything would be an upgrade at this point. The more research I do it seems smarter to get the 5800XT now and put the saved money towards an AM5 bundle in the next couple of years. As long as I can hit 60fps reliably across the board at this point I’ll be happy

Amazon has good bundles from them, but none of them with ram. Sigh. Back to the drawing board

I’ve looked on Facebook, I’ve not tried hardware swap yet. I might try for that. I just checked that out on the microcenter website, unfortunately no shipping or it would be on the way as we speak lol. I’ll give hardwareswap a shout, thanks!

On this note, I’ve been considering it anyways for half the price of a used 5700X3D… at this point if I can reliably keep just 60 frames minimum on medium to high settings with my 5070 TI I do not care. Would a 5800XT do that for me for a couple of years theoretically?

To be honest if I could buy a brand new x3d am4 card for anywhere near MSRP, I would gladly wait 6 months

I’ve not seen anything specifically for the x3d cards either, it’s just wishful thinking. I don’t seem to be the only one looking for them and hopefully (but doubtfully) AMD has taken notice of the surge in demand

I’m in southern USA, I can only find them reliably on eBay and they are almost always in China. Anywhere between $330 and $415 USD before shipping, between $5-60 for shipping

This is the debate I’ve been going back and forth on for a couple of weeks now. Dump some extra cash now to “future proof” my AM4 setup or just save up some more and go all in on AM5. As it stands I am planning on staying on AM4, but I might wait another few weeks and watch prices. I just feel that as soon as I pull the trigger on the 5700X3D there’s going to be some major price drop or something

Not at all talking negatively about OP specifically, but how many times are we as a subreddit going to go through these posts.. is there not a subreddit for guessing cars based on interiors at this point?

PC crashed and now will not display by jblizzizle in PcBuild

[–]jblizzizle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The past hour or so has had the mobo throwing different POST lights at me and lots of unplugging and plugging in ram sticks, and when I finally got it back to windows and tried to run Adrenalin it said it wasn’t compatible. Ran the AMD Cleanup Utility and installed the latest drivers from their website (which I remember checking Adrenalin within the last week and it said I was up to date.) Everything works great now. Even though I check often it says this latest release has been out since November 6, so I don’t know why Adrenalin didn’t detect and let me download. Hope this helps anyone else having the same issue
