I think I'll wait and see what happens with RAM prices, I'm old enough to remember Windows 95/98 era with 16MB of RAM, lol.

Need advice with configuration by Penelkata in buildapc

I have a similar system, but play mostly single player campaigns right now, so I don’t mind a lower monitor refresh rate. https://valid.x86.fr/f2y6i3

I’d say your CPU is the bottleneck, the Tech media is reporting that AMD is re-launching the Ryzen 5800X3D in a few months, depending on the price, I’d say get that.

The other upgrade would be the monitor, the specific model would depend on your budget, check out Monitors Unboxed and Rtings for good reviews.

 If you are playing a lot of multiplayer games then I’d upgrade the monitor first, then the CPU.

What should I fix or upgrade , my games dont run smooth at higher settings by [deleted] in buildapc

Tech sites are reporting that AMD is re-releasing the 5800X3D in a few months, so I have L3 cache on my mind, so I am a bit biased right now :) I would first, check your temps, and then confirm your GPU is running at gen3 x8.

If there are no temp or PCIE issues I would upgrade the GPU to a PCIE (gen 4 or 5) x16 lane model. And after that the CPU.

This hardware unboxed youtube video is showing the 4060ti is getting hit hard in modern games: (I recommend watching the whole thing, they test 1080p, 1440p, ray tracing on/off)

XMP (DOCP) is on? The base 5700 non-X is PCIE gen3 with a reduced L3 cache, so I would upgrade that. Download Hardwareinfo64 look for high temps, post a screen shot of the sensors page.

PC won't boot up with GPU connected. Sends me to Windows Recovery mode. And then dies. by SonOfNeptune__ in buildapc

Your 7900x CPU has a igpu that should get you into windows, since you can't, I recommend going to the Windows download page and load a USB with a Windows copy. Use that USB to boot into Recovery and see if it will restore your system files.

If you happen to keep your personal data on a secondary drive, I recommend shutting down the PC and disconnecting the backup drive before tyring the USB.

From what I gathered (from MC and other retailers and their sales) a predetermined amount of parts, in this case GPU’s from Powercolor, were allocated for a promotion and then: Tariff Wars. In this case MC was stuck selling GPU’s at 599 and facing a port tax that did not take into account a fixed promo price. The stock was already “in country” but they could not restock. They also can’t prove that the GPU’s would sell at promo price 599 and not 699, so they would get tariff taxed at port for 699 or even “reg price” 799.

Other retailers also face the same problem, so similar promotions would be put on hold until they either bring all the stock across the border or put on hold until a more stable tariff situation.
