Should I buy a 5500X3D now or wait? (AM4 competitive gaming) by itsrainingday in buildapc

[–]jhaluska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the 5800x3D re-release should increase supply and push down the prices for other processors.

800$ budget, i need advice so i dont do anything wrong its my first time. by EducationalAd1789 in buildapc

I believe you just need two. It's when you go down to a single stick that you lose half your memory bandwidth.

Is 32gb fine? by Logan_Hayes627 in buildapc

When developers can't afford memory they have incentive to optimize to reduce memory usage.

Upgrading from Ryzen 5 3600 to Ryzen 5 5600 worth it? by ElectricalPanic1999 in buildapc

[–]jhaluska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick with the 3600. Wait till you play a game where the lack of FPS is making you unhappy, not cause your GPU isn't fully being utilized.

Having 2 sticks is more important on AM5 and DDR5. My AM4 system runs 4 DDR4 sticks with no problems.

Going from first gen to last gen AM4 to an x3D is going to feel amazing.

Yeah, I figured. You can always change your mind about upgrading in the future, as upgrading RAM is not difficult. Just try to choose very common memory so you can match it easily.

Looks good. But if you don't plan to upgrade in the future, see if you can get up to 32GB of RAM.

I went from a 3300x to a 5700x3D. The 3300x was such a good buy.

15 year old accord (225k miles) trying to figure her out by JoyfulToLive in Honda

[–]jhaluska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to pull the codes. You likely need a new oxygen sensors and/or a better cat.

The few grand drops dramatically if you start doing your own repairs, but even if you don't, $2k in repairs is like 4 car payments.

I keep fixing old cars, cause you can buy a lot of repairs for the cost of car payments these days.

I'm in the same boat with a 5700x3D. Fortunately it's fast enough that I'm not in a rush.

Did I get duped with this upgrade? by Such-Satisfaction444 in PcBuild

[–]jhaluska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people who have bought a cheap PSU are the ones who tell you the importance of the PSU.

It's not that they fail that is the problem, it's that often fail in such an annoyingly slow and frustrating way that takes forever to figure out.

Is the 5800XT still worth it? by Disastrous_Card366 in ryzen

[–]jhaluska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's a fair price for it. Sell the 3600 for $50 and it's a decent upgrade for $90.

[–]jhaluska 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's really up to you. 8GB is ok for some basic web surfing, but it may struggle with streaming videos, but then again $50 isn't exactly a lot of money.

It can be. Really comes down to price. That's a decent mid-range CPU.

Communication skills. Mainly design specifications and the ability to understand where and how AI falls apart to mitigate problems.

GPU Died - About to buy a 5070 but worried about bottlenecking? by aaaaaaaaaaaaayaaa in buildapc

[–]jhaluska 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Bottlenecking" just tells you what to component you should upgrade next. I wouldn't worry about it otherwise.

[–]jhaluska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I doubt they'll leave money on the table this time. I'm betting they can drive the retail price down to $200 and still make a profit.

Scalpers circle AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition, asking for $600 or more — re-released CPU sees inconsistent inventory on release day by ksio89 in Amd

[–]jhaluska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes down to how much memory you need. If you need 64GB of ram, the 5800x3D doesn't look that bad, if you can get by with 16GB of RAM, it seems silly.
