i want a 9800x3d with a mobo that says nvlink supported on its homepage

SLI dead for gaming

dire mason
#

So you can get x670 boards that support it at least

#

Tehcnically you just need a board that supports x8/x8 bifurcation, but Nvidia locks it away behind licensing (Or maybe they can't advertise that they support it without paying a license)

#

So a lot of boards that don't advertise it might support it

#

Workstation boards are more likely to support it

#

Like the WRX boards

#

And this isn't for gaming, it's for rendering

#

You can game with it, but you are going to be limited by pretty shitty SLI profiles or AFR rendering

#

Nvidia has moved more over to these things for Nvlink, where it comes preconnected

empty cloak
#

so what amd boards confirm support nvlink and u have seen build with them

dire mason

dire mason
#

If you really need nvlink, I would be looking at WRX boards.

#

@empty cloak You also have to consider that most consumer boards will have the x8/x8 slots next to each other. So if you are using a gaming GPU like a 3080 or 3090, they are likely not going to fit next to each other.

#

No, there are too many potential issues so I don't want to say that a board will definitely work.

empty cloak
#

WE NEED SOMONE WHO CAN TEST

#

There are no am5 motherboards with sli already had someone ask about it

#

There are lga 1700 tho

#

Also no you can't jerryrig anything to make sli work on am5

empty cloak
#

Then this is SOLVED

#

Begs the question what’s best lga 1700 cpu for rust

#

If anyone happens to know lol

timber niche
#

if you talking game rust

empty cloak
#

I was wondering of why the i713700kf is so high in this list however

timber niche
#

what list even is that also i suspect due to it being the only cpu and what is meant to be its better version aka 14th gen being where i would expect it that sombody made a whoopse

dire mason
timber niche
#

o wow yeah that too

dire mason
#

The difference in clocks between chips is larger than the gap between the 13700K and KF. On average, the KF is 0.2% faster.

timber niche
#

5600X3D beating a 5700X3D

empty cloak
#

Thanks guys so I’ll just go with the best i9

timber niche
#

literally THE worst X3D beats it in rust

#

also a 5090 or even a 4090 would have better performance then anything sli now a days if the game even supports it and if its not a game like lets say blender it does not need sli to work with multi gpu

dire mason
#

Yeah, Nvlink is for rendering, it's turbo ass for gaming

empty cloak
dire mason
#

To make the GPUs talk together properly, you need an SLI profile. And you need an SLI profile for every single game. Nvidia hasn't made one since 2020.

empty cloak
#

so if u could get that higher sscore to translate to rust or any game that supports it which wiith enough tinkering u can for most of the games i play including rust

timber niche
empty cloak
#

yes

timber niche
empty cloak
#

u can tinker and ppl make custom ones

#

yeah

#

but for what i can sell my 4090 for rn

timber niche
#

also even during the whole SLI craze it sucked

empty cloak
#

its worth and also i think its cool which is most important factor

#

twoo of these in a pc would look so sick

timber niche
#

xd

#

they look so dumb

empty cloak
#

and on gta six which will support sli nativley through vulkan i can theoretically get better preformance than my 3090

#

well id make the colors cooler

empty cloak
#

and make them match with my razer synapse profile

timber niche
#

gta 6 is still a year out

empty cloak
#

yes

#

as for rust my main game

dire mason
empty cloak
#

the only preformance i expect to get is going from my i5 14600kf to a i9 14900ks

#

and a m.2 5.0 new samsung as well as dual channel 64 gbs of ram at 7200

empty cloak
#

it will

#

on rust

timber niche
empty cloak
#

load times

dire mason
#

This feels like lighting money on fire

empty cloak
#

and id say prob 10 or so frames

timber niche
empty cloak
#

its not that expensive

#

180$

timber niche
#

4tb right?

empty cloak
#

no

timber niche
#

well that is the price of one

#

well not pcie 5.0 ofc since its dumb

dire mason
#

You will barely see games break SATA read speeds

timber niche
#

XD

dire mason
#

Even those games on PS5 that "Need 5GB/s NVMe", people hacked the PS5 to take SATA and they had barely any difference

timber niche
#

the 9100 has had one of the worst reviews you can see

empty cloak
#

what one were u thinkinh og

#

what should i get

timber niche
#

sn5000 or mp44l or even a c910

empty cloak
#

fastest m.2 5.0

timber niche
#

no

#

stop it

empty cloak
#

no like thats what i want

#

im not saying thats the fastest

timber niche
#

but it does nothing its burning money away

empty cloak

empty cloak
#

considering the avg person is on a 2060 or 3060 prebuilt u should know that is def above a normal persons conception of a pc

#

normal pc gamer

timber niche
#

those people also do not have 4500 lying around

#

not perfect but pretty good

empty cloak
#

send a pc for 4500 that looks better

#

that does not look better its not even turned on

#

this is an subjective thing ovi

#

but i like rgb alot

#

sm rgb

#

and two of them

#

would be crazyy

timber niche
#

sli is dead pleas give up

#

fyi the issues, mostly just looking strange or just not at that kinda price point pc

#

also give me a moment to go on ebay

empty cloak
#

oh thats all fixed now this was first boot

#

what is radiator problem

#

and idk a solution for those wires top right

#

the gap at the back is for a nvme expanshon card that i have now

#

gap on top is closed

#

ram is seated

#

wires on top that was cleanest way for me

#

and idk what ur going on abt with radiator

empty cloak
#

its all good

timber niche
#

2800 for a i7 and a 4090 and 64GB of ram

tired terrace
empty cloak
#

that looks like shit

tired terrace
empty cloak
#

to check airflow

#

and make sure fans are installed correctly

timber niche
#

this one has everything and looks ok

empty cloak
#

i need to see it turned on

tired terrace
timber niche
#

why

empty cloak
#

but the top one looks poop compared to mine

timber niche
timber niche
empty cloak
#

12vhpw?

#

do u know what that is

tired terrace
#

I mean it is

empty cloak
#

it is what

timber niche
#

entire setup for less

timber niche
#

aka 600w :3

empty cloak
#

yes

timber niche
#

i can do math

empty cloak
#

not that cable

#

its the adapter

timber niche
#

the adapter can do 600w safely well not really but is meant to

empty cloak
#

when if u have a compatible psu which u should for a 4000k pc

timber niche
#

what if its a older hx-i or something

empty cloak
#

idk what they would be doing that

#

as for that buld that pc looks like shit the ram cant even sync with the pc

#

i like everything to be able to sync

timber niche
#

you do yea

#

you would rather have a brick of rgb then a pc by the sound of it

empty cloak
#

yes

#

if i wanted max preformance id build a 5090 rig

timber niche
#

a computer is a tool not a statute or something

empty cloak
#

with a 7 98000x3d

timber niche
empty cloak
#

however two 3090tis

#

nvlink

#

sm cooler

timber niche
#

does not work for gaming

empty cloak
#

it does

#

watch yt

timber niche
#

fyi you can still put 2 gpus in a pc

empty cloak
#

for all games i paly

#

paly

#

yes but i want to sli

#

nostalgic

timber niche
#

i think the latest good game for it is like 2017 or some shit

empty cloak
#

and better preformance than 4090

#

in theroy

#

on supported games

timber niche
#

and it plays like shit

empty cloak
#

on games the dosent support it

#

and 95% of the games i play do

#

and if it dosent im more than happy on a single 3090 ti

timber niche
#

at some point just get a 9070 xt or used 3080 or smn

empty cloak
#

i havent even notices a change in my actualy quality of gampay since my 3080

timber niche
#

welp i give up

empty cloak
#

3080 to a 4090

#

no diffenece

#

on 1440p

#

i am getting 4k soon

#

so maybe

#

i have sm hardware laying around

#

my dual 2080ti rig was great

#

better than my single 3090 rig

#

on games like rd2

#

and even on rust if when using wicher 3 profile
