the 680m with the 7535u on it is decent to use, though around a gtx780 in performance

mortal solstice
#

i could also remote into my desktop more often too

upbeat temple
#

Parsec is low latency

#

And very good

I used it on my xps13 2in1 before I got my rig

so far it's really good

$1k cad laptop for school & 2k pc upgrades

mortal solstice
#

im mostly taking notes in onenote, probably like 8 chrome tabs open

#

onedrive running the background

#

btw really appreciate the help guys

if going amd you'd want a 7#35 or 7#40 laptop

mortal solstice
#

would a i9-14900K and a 6700xt be a bad combo

#

im talking abt my rig upgrade

#

cuz i don't think ill use more than a 6700xt

jolly wren
#

Definitely unbalanced

#

Even for cad

fringe bone
#

totally overkill tbh

mortal solstice
#

for the cpu?

#

how about like an i7-14700K

#

or should i just get a 7800xt

#

then i could upgrade to 1440p monitor

fringe bone
#

what cpu you using currently?

mortal solstice
#

i5 9600K lol

#

imma test it on some simulations though for cad

fringe bone
#

why not an r5 7600?

mortal solstice
#

mostly topology and CFD

mortal solstice
#

id be down with ryzen too

#

no preference, i just wanna shave down as much time for those computations

mortal solstice
#

i dunno i wasn't that familiar with amd

fringe bone
fringe bone
mortal solstice
#

but if those amd chips r fine too then it can work

fringe bone
#

definitely fine

mortal solstice
#

ight okay

#

if i switch to amd will it be harder to bring my OS over too?

fringe bone
#

dunno if microcenter delivers to canada

mortal solstice
#

i haven't upgraded before

fringe bone
mortal solstice
#

idk if i can get that tho

fringe bone
#

when converting over

gg

#

like what issues can happen if my cpu is relatively more powerful than my gpu

#

ohhh right, no 15th gen intel until awhile

#

might be worth going amd for an earlier build

#

imma think over this for awhile

fringe bone
misty spoke
#

Whats your current specs

mortal solstice
#

i meant like how BAD of a combo is it

mortal solstice
#

my rtx 2070 is dead though

mortal solstice
fringe bone
#

again, overkill

#

even a 13700k/14700k would be overkill

misty spoke
mortal solstice
fringe bone
#

even then for what they want to do, a 7700/7700x would be more than enough as the cpu

mortal solstice
#

okay

fringe bone
#

though with cad i'd look at using a 3080 or 4070

mortal solstice
#

you sure nvidia is the way to go?

#

i thought RT doesn't really matter for it

fringe bone
#

it's not for RT but cuda use which will help with 3d modeling

mortal solstice
#

ah okay

upbeat temple
#

I'd go 12900k and

#

7800

#

Reuse the rest

#

Wait

#

Budget change

#

This is a bit over

#

I can retweak a bit if u want to get under budget

#

Or remove the ssd

fringe bone
#

and it uses less power with less heat in comparison

#

13600k has the same performance as a 12900k but with the lower power draw and heat production it's the better choice

mortal solstice
#

so really, i could just upgrade my i5 to the next gen

#

or get a r7 7700

fringe bone
#

could even go to 13700k/14700k

fringe bone
fringe bone
#

though if you wanted a newer better one, i'd get something like an lt720 or frozen notte 360mm

mortal solstice
#

hmm if i dont need one then ill get a new one later

#

i think i still have warranty on the aio

#

i think...

mortal solstice

mortal solstice
# fringe bone you could tbh though it's one of the cheaper 6000 cl30 kits
#

here's another kit, idk if its better

#

okay nevermind

#

thats 300 ram lmao

fringe bone
fringe bone
mortal solstice
#

is there any difference between ram of the same CL30 6000MHz

#

from the price? some are like 50-100 more

fringe bone
#

not really, it's more brand and model line

#

only a little bit of it is what ram ic's is used for each kit

mortal solstice
mortal solstice
fringe bone
mortal solstice
#

no lmao

#

im already doubling my ram and getting like 3x the speed

#

i should remember that

#

plus i still need to check if my current setup is really that far behind

#

bare minimum laptop and GPU

#

nice to have (and i can spend for it) would be platform upgrade

fringe bone
#

your current cpu would lose to a 12100f in single core performance

mortal solstice
#

how much do you think my mobo and cpu could be resold for

fringe bone
#

and that's both of them at stock

mortal solstice
#

so even though i have budget for an i9 technically i really shouldn't buy

fringe bone
upbeat temple
#

It's 13900k not 12900k

upbeat temple

Mistype mb

but waiting until the end of the year is gonna suck

fringe bone
mortal solstice
#

well university

fringe bone
mortal solstice
#

but yeah college school

#

i did say school in title lmao

#

im pretty informal

fringe bone
#

13600k/13700k/14700k would be the cpu area at max for what you're doing tbh

mortal solstice
#

okay

#

should i still buy into lga 1700 if its dead tho

fringe bone
#

7700x realistically if you went amd side

mortal solstice
#

or should i go am5

#

cuz i only upgraded every like 5 generations or like 4 years

#

whatever the 15th gen intel is in might be dead by then too lmao

fringe bone
#

up to you, i know there's a fair few more bundle options for you with intel than amd with memory express and newegg canada

mortal solstice
#

ah. that's something i wouldn't know

#

haven't done that much research yet 😭

fringe bone
#

when i was looking up for a similar bundle to what microcenter offered but for canadian companies it showed as more intel bundles out there for you at a reasonable price where it comes to the canadian dollar

mortal solstice
#

honestly if you ask me, going for 13th gen intel makes sense for the single core performance and bundle

#

and im not gonna upgrade for awhile

#

so the platform being dead isn't really an issue

upbeat temple
#

I agree

#

Is a dead platform

#

But when you do it should be meaningful upgrade

mortal solstice
#

yeah

#

so like 4-5 years from now imma upgrade to the 17th gen whatever or ryzen 11 series or whatever

#

the socket is gonna change again probably going from intel track record

fringe bone
#

some performance loss due to it being ddr4 and not ddr5

#

the aio though could be better

mortal solstice
#

ok ok

#

thx for the help btw

#

honestly im probably thinking too hard abt it

fringe bone
#

this is with just 1 computer retailer

mortal solstice
#

4070 super or nah?

fringe bone
#

if it's affordable, then yeah

mortal solstice
#

how do you decide whats a good price for like buying stuff

#

because barely any cards are at msrp 💀

fringe bone
#

performance wise the 4070 super is close to that of a 3090

mortal solstice
#

i feel like the performance to cost of nvidia is not great

#

lemme get on my laptop later this week, ive been travelling all day today lol
