Mr.Vic20 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I currently have an i9-9900KS and will be sitting on it until we see the next Ryzen chips drop later this year. I really hope these next AMD CPUs put the nail in intel's coffin because I want this build to be more or less complete prior to Cyberpunk's release! All Hail Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk, that is all.

Despite all the fanfare, intel's top end CPUs are still the kings of PC gaming. Do they make financial sense? No! Do they have the latest features like PCIe4.0? Hell no! But despite those facts, I would put my i9-9900KS up against any AMD CPU, in terms of gaming experience. Now where it gets interesting is that as resolutions climb up the CPU is taxed less, so there is little to no difference between most high end CPUs at 4K. Sooo, I might well finally jump ship from intel with the arrival of AMDs next generation of Ryzen chips simply because of cost and PCIe4.0. Its a wacky world of change in the PC hardware landscape and its unlikely to stabilize as an easy hardware target until mid to late 2022. This is because we will have a growing need for PCIe4.0 as SSDs continue to climb in speed (and thus bandwidth), GPUs continue to raise the level of bandwidth they need. Then you have the arrival of DDR5 sometime next year. Driving all of this will be new engines like UE5 (not due, despite all the PS5 hype, until late 2021!) and features like Nvidia's RTX I/O & Microsoft's "Direct Storage" API.

The new build begins... Part of the complaint avout my current case is I saw a Lian Li desk case. I am kinda big on ergonomics since I work from home or do long 6+ hour Paradox game MP sessions. I wanted to get the 2.5k one since its about the size of my current table desk but can rise so I can stand for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for reminding me about PCIe 4.0. Forgot current Intel CPUs lack support. Comon Ryzen 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
