Now Microcenter has the 7800x3D for $329 STOP TEMPTING ME YOU BASTARDS

This has been getting surprisingly high praise from those who played preview builds.

Sony offers one too, hell WWE offers one. It’s just a partnership with Master Card.

I’ll guess that you didn’t open the mail or have Gale in your party when you found it (Also, worth noting it’s a single bag of mail, not a bunch of letters scattered about the map) They do.

It’d be nice to see more DLSS benchmarks included

To my understanding (after hours on r/nvidia from boredom), 4k performance DLSS (1080p render) vs 1080p native doesn’t have 1:1 performance. There’s anywhere from a 5-20% difference pending the game and the DLSS one will have less load on the CPU allegedly in some (but not all) cases.

It’s not 1:1 with DLSS scaling (there’s a difference between DLSS internal rendering vs that same resolution at native), plus I’m unlikely to drop below balanced these days . That’s why I typically look at 1440p+

Ah, yea, you need to go by the actual framerate on the next chart. The 7800x3d (1080p) avg is 261.1, the 13700k is 241.7, which is an 8% difference. I’m not using the max pbo thing as that seems bin dependent and not guaranteed. That’s good to see overall raw power in gaming, I agree, however, if I’m unlikely to play at those resolutions then it’s basically a “look at my e-peen” score like synthetic SSD tests, IMO

The fact that the last column isn’t correctly shaded a deep orange is an absolute travesty.

I’m seeing 8%. I don’t see a non-k on the benchmark? I wouldn’t get a non-k incase I overclock anyway

There’s only a 4-5% performance difference between them at 1440p ( https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d/20.html ), I’ll be able to use 4x RAM sticks, and then I don’t have to deal with AMD’s shit bioses anymore, plus Intel is typically better for emulation.

It goes in and out of stock multiple times a day: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/171mw9i/bundle_i912900k_asus_tuf_gaming_z690plus_wifi_arx/ Keep checking that reddit page to try and catch it. Otherwise, Microcenter has a similar bundle if you have one near you (they also have a 13700k + mobo + ram bundle for $500) I would've grabbed one of those bundles awhile ago if it came with Corsair Vengeance RGB RAM, or if I could opt-out of the RAM it comes with and save $50 or something

I dunno, you can get that 12900k newegg mobo/cpu/ram combo for $400, so waiting for a $200 5800x3D seems wrong to me

I don't think a 5800x3D is worth it, even for $200. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d/20.html you're looking at about a 8-12% gaming boost at 1440p unless it's super optimized for 3D cache. For us 5900x users, it's 13600k+ or 7700x+ for a minimum of a 20%+ boost otherwise it's kind of a waste, even considering needing a new mobo + RAM. I think it's often forgotten how well the 5900x performs

The aesthetics of two sticks is gross . Most Zx90 motherboards currently have no issue with 4xDDR5 at 6000-6400mhz with the latest BIOS, some even seem to be able to run 4 at 7000mhz+ but that varies user to user. What do you currently have?

Next gen def isn't more than 3-4 years away

The 7800x3D has dropped all the way down to $350. After being on a 5900x I really wanted to go back to Intel for my next upgrade, but that's a ridiculous price. The 13700k really needs to drop to $300 or lower. If X670/B650E mobos could run 4 sticks of DDR5 without issues I'd probably have a new CPU/Mobo/RAM in the mail right now

A friend and teacher of mine is retired Sayeret Matkal (Golani), he's not Israeli by birth but chose to go serve via birthright when he turned 18. Just left last night to rejoin his battalion, his wife and children support his decision but are understandably simultaneously upset and worried.

Hi dad, don’t forget about your other son

Most PSUs are set up the same, if you can’t hide the split plug (the extra 4 pin CPU plug), you can use this so the cable management doesn’t look like hell: Limited-time deal: LINKUP - 50cm PSU PC Power Extension Cable Metallic Sleeved Silicone Coated Soft & Flexible to Route Custom Mod CPU w/Comb┃1x 4P CPU EPS┃500mm - Silver https://a.co/d/4sw7JtA
