It’s just little boost for too much Kek

late sorrel Nov 7, 2019, 11:13 PM

The 5% difference isn’t a fiscally valuable move, considering you won’t utilize the extra two cores.

or wait for zen 5?

fiery nacelle Nov 8, 2019, 2:03 PM

@abstract kite depends on the games that you are currently playing + games that you foresee would be playing in the near future

#

I probably have enough for a Zen 3 based system next year, but it would most likely be the last on the AM4 socket

Hmmm, maybe the team regulars can help you out with whether to get a Zen 3 (Ryzen 4000 on AM4) versus Zen 4 (Ryzen 5000 on AM5?)

I'd go with 3k series with boost 2.0, and get proper cooling.

fiery nacelle Nov 8, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

That would be nicely in time for Cyberpunk 2077 coming out soon too

#

the 4000 series would likely only be out in force like Q3 next year

sick reef Nov 8, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

Same with intel, incremental gain per generation is less monetary worth than grabbing the ground breaking series.

mystic pasture Nov 8, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

Yeah really depends on when your planning to buy

#

with how affordable AMD is, I'd always argue to get from the latest generation you can, but 3k is out right now and I agree we won't see it until late next year. And 3k has a lot of nag for buck and it's probably going to go on sale through the end of November and into December

#

would be a really great time to pick it up

avoid notebooks,get a pc. If you really want to play games on a notebook, get a pc first, then a crappy notebook and enable streaming mode so you can play on your notebook but the PC does all calculation. as long as you are not on the other side of the world ping will be mostly fine but for competitive shooters. may need basic knowledge and how to use/install a vpn if you want to play remotely stream from anywhere

fiery nacelle Nov 9, 2019, 6:22 AM

#

@kindred forge perhaps target a B550 micro-ATX or mini-ITX motherboard?

#

out early next year

#

stick in a Ryzen 5 2600

#

Then when the Ryzen 6000 series comes out in 3 years time, you could probably pick up a heavily discounted Ryzen 4000 CPU as an upgrade path

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

Fact: Ryzen 6000 won't be coming out in 3 years

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

No worries

#

We'll hit 10 Ghz CPU's by at least 2013

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 2:49 PM

#

It'll basically be a different name kek

#

Wow, 6 years ago we had 10GHz!!!??

#

Why are all our CPUs not close to that!???!

#

Imagine what tech would be like now if that was 6 years ago

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 2:50 PM

#

It's in reference to that during the Pentium days, they figured that if it progressed as it has earlier, back in 2000's, that is when we would reach 10GHz.

#

Though, reality came in the way.

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 2:50 PM

#

Hah

#

If we ever do have a 'Ryzen 6000' line-up

#

I don't think it would even be called that

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

Probably not.

#

We'll also see how they'll be able to release new series.

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

Mhm

#

Now why do I have the idea that Ryzen 4000 line-up has been mentioned as a leak?

#

Okay then that's pretty much promised early 2020

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

Making assumptions within IT, at least this broad, are almost never to ring true

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

Yeah

#

It can change so unexpectedly

#

Funny to imagine we went from something like 1Ghz to 5Ghz in a good amount of years

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

It's the same as with all things

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

But I feel tech would progress slowly this time

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

Well, yes, but that's mostly because 5 GHz is kind of a hard cap with highly diminishing returns

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

Asides from that

#

Has any more news on parts been revealed?

#

Aside from the new 3950X, 3970X, and the 10980XE or whatever it's called

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 2:56 PM

10980XE being just a rehashed 9980XE being just a rehashed 7980XE.

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 2:58 PM

#

I got mine during a low, for around 1200 euro, that I then delidded with liquid metal.

#

I also got the Motherboard for 350 euro, Evga x299 dark.

#

Now? Maybe 1500, and 700.

#

Was just before 9X series was announced.

#

I'm glad I didn't wait longer for 8-series architecture X series.

#

Because that'll never happen apparently.

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

Yikes

#

Even then, it could've as been good

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

Well, 8-series architecture have up to 35% improvement in multicore tasking, but maybe with too many cores, it'd have huge power consumptions

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 3:02 PM

#

Mhm

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 3:02 PM

#

I sincerely don't know why they keep to the other architecture, but it's very likely a scenario where, if they could, they would do it.

#

It was in part what made intel more competitive in multi core tasking against AMD, during that generation

#

It's also, if you're picking a CPU only for gaming nowadays, 8700K is probably your best bet, still, for the money.

#

Assuming it's cheaper than most of all others'

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 3:05 PM

#

Well, if it were for best gaming performance, easily the 9700K

#

9900K is kind of the same

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 3:05 PM

#

Well, it's very likely the 8700K is cheaper, and the improvement is negligible between them.

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 3:05 PM

#

True

#

From what I'm seeing

#

Both 8700K and 9700K is same pricing

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 3:09 PM

#

Well, probably depends on the vendor, but could be likely.

#

There's always the market for used items, and there 8700K is bound to be more abundant, or cheaper.

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

Wow

#

Only 10$ more on a 9700K apparently

#

Some are near or over 400$

#

But cheapest is 10$ more

#

Yeah at this point, no reason to get a 8700K if you can get 9700K for same price and more perf

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

If it's new market, yeah, I'm seeing the 9700K being cheaper.

#

But I'd check the used market as well.

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

Why am I seeing a 9900K being sold with an image of the shipping box of the 9700K?

For myself i would never consider using a second hand product since the warranty on these products in my country is so good id be losing money if something went wrong with a second hand product

I guess I wouldn't know. I generally don't bother with warranty unless it is broken out of the box.

I have 24 / 36 months a money-back guarantee

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 3:16 PM

dusty pumice Nov 9, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

Ehh only in a small procent of cases yeah

#

But a very high chance ill be stil getting my money back

I had a graphics card I got a friend here give him artifacting in one specific game, and when I returned it within the 30 days of return policy, they had changed their return policy that very day, so I didn't get full money back because they sold me a faulty product so they price cut it?

I decided to avoid that store at all costs after that.

Kind of ripping off people if they're doing that

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

Not fully, it's that electronics are hard to sell etc, they take off 5% as a disincentive.

But when it's that the product is faulty, and I was under a different warranty technically

#

they can go fuck themselves.

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 3:21 PM

It was a judgement call technically but it's great that they chose that one, because then I can say fuck 'em.

It's a Swedish retailer. Inet.

fleet canopy Nov 9, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

Institute for New Economic Thinking?

sick reef Nov 9, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

And they made that choice because specifically

#

the card was artifacting on my friend's computer.

#

So yeah, within 30 days, I wanted to return it because it didn't work properly, and they cut it 5% because it's the very day they changed their return policy.

#

And it's not about to money to me, but the principle.

#

What if this was my new CPU, or MB, or what ever?

#

I'd be rather stumped to find that out, the day it haywires.

Noone would define an engine by their cylinders in a similar manner.

Isn't Steelseries known for being one of the brands you either overspend for, or yet it's also one of the brands you go to if you don't have the money to buy better peripherals

#

Yeah I'd avoid them at all cost

#

my brother bought their $300 wireless headset and it's absolute dogshit

#

but he won't believe me since he has tin ears

rough swift Nov 10, 2019, 2:50 AM

did he set up the equalizer settings?

but rarely will the equalizer fix a problem that's based in the drivers

oversaturated bass and muffled audio

#

yeah

rough swift Nov 10, 2019, 2:51 AM

the equalizer fix the audio for my steelseries headset, get him to try it if that doesn't work i guess steelseries just sucks

nova berry Nov 10, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

It depends. Sometimes you're buy headphones and crank the bass all the way down, and it'll still sound too boomy

I bought a pair of flat monitors almost a year ago and now I can't go back to normal headphones

ngl I think it's a curse actually

#

probably overspent on these too but they actually sound good

rough swift Nov 10, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

in a way its a curse to have a good headset because as soon as you use one that sucks its hurts

nova berry Nov 10, 2019, 2:56 AM

It's a curse because now I can only use dedicated mics and headphones

Everyone and their mum seems to like to do the at2035 and FR combo, but honestly you could do better in 2019 for less

dusty pumice Nov 10, 2019, 3:04 AM

I think those are mostly streamers and usually get the idea to grab a focusrite off a youtube guide or whatever they use for information

nova berry Nov 10, 2019, 3:04 AM

Both

They can run wired and wireless with dual inputs simultaneously.

I can tap the left ear and pause the music

They also have aura sync.

But is it possible to have additional sensorsnfor 360 degrees?

pallid cedar Nov 11, 2019, 6:28 PM

sadly it is highly doubtful

Oculus is pushing for sensor-less tracking.
If they added support for extra sensors, it would be admitting their non-sensor system is flawed, and not a viable upgrade.

isn't it flawed though...? 😛

@cobalt hound I'm super heckin late but for 200-250 USD I would say the 1660S. If you're able try to get a R5 2600 or 3600 for a CPU upgrade as well.

@vivid sandal For 100 USD more you can get a 1660 super with the same specs as the prebuilt PC you linked. Idk your budget but here's the list of parts. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nkcDx6

#

Ignore the bios update issue. If you've never done one of those before its a simple as downloading a newer bios version onto a USB stick and updating the motherboard.

it's pretty easy

abstract kite Nov 12, 2019, 9:04 PM

Pretty much

#

I highly recommend getting 16gb (an extra 50 USD or so tho) of ram as well since that's a sweet spot for most games and applications, but if you're pinching pennies 8gb will be sufficient.

The 3600 is a fantastic processor too. Can't recommend it enough.

I'm ok with the extra 3 seconds 🙂

The sweet spot was 3733 or something like that according to AMDs testing?

Hm

copper zealot Nov 13, 2019, 3:20 AM

Yea, but the difference is still not as big as you would think

but the difference between 3600 and 3733 is nigh of 2%

Still better to get 3600 anyway

abstract kite Nov 13, 2019, 3:20 AM

From 3200 to 3600 is like 5%

so really, if you can get 3200 for way cheaper, go for that.

3900X isnt coming down in price (neither is the 3700x)

Though if the 9900k drops in price to about the same price as the 3700x I'll be buying that. Z390 boards are cheaper than X570, so in the long run I get about the same performance for a cheaper price.

AMD is a company. Intel is a company. You should never support a large scale company, as it doesn't benifit you. If anything at all, you support a product, because it is good.

^ 100% the truth

abstract kite Nov 14, 2019, 5:39 AM

Supporting companies do benefit you

supporting companies creates competition

meaning newer products and lower prices

#

both are things that consumers benefit from

sick reef Nov 14, 2019, 5:42 AM

#

Unless they release a competative product they would not be competative to begin with.

It is the product. Not the company.

Sales count to large companies

So if a company starts losing sales to another one, what are they going to do?

#

If they're smart, they're lower prices or create a better product

sick reef Nov 14, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

Yeah. And companies only matter if their product is either unique or competative.

#

Or they create an ogliarchy.

brisk badger Nov 14, 2019, 12:09 PM

#

Intel has, after the 2nd generation of i7/i5/i3 blatantly charged customer a shitton of money for worse quality product every generation after and had zero interest in making processors actually faster and inventing new technologies in the consumer section.

sick reef Nov 14, 2019, 12:17 PM

#

You mean faster as in beyond 5GHz?

brisk badger Nov 14, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

No, not only raw hertz speed.
For example the process of creating the chips is cheaper
The cpu heat spreader are no longer soldered but glued (wtf)
The IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) is not really much faster since 4th gen and the newer lineup
For a long time Intel only created 4 cores CPU because why create 6 or 8 core CPU's if people are willing to pay the same price for a 4 core CPU

#

ofc, because of competition not being able to have a good product they could do all that

sick reef Nov 14, 2019, 12:27 PM

#

Likely, but also likely that four cores was seen as a standard for an average computer. Most of the architectural improvements come in the way of not raw power, but efficiency.

#

Now as then.

brisk badger Nov 14, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

Intel Speedstep and other stuff did not see much improvements or changes over the year but I could be wrong.
Also to mention is the spectre/meltdown issue and Intel keeping it secret for many months and only informed business

sick reef Nov 14, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

Yeah. That in itself was a lapse due to efficiency.

brisk badger Nov 14, 2019, 12:29 PM

#

i think it's good that AMD is back and it does help you supporting a company as this means we don't see the same scenario with Intel being the only real choice for good CPU's

#

if AMD was always on pair with Intel, you would never said the "4 cores is standard"

#

4 cores was standard because intel could define it

#

we probably would be now all be on 8 cores if not more if AMD was always competiting with Intel

sick reef Nov 14, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

Back from work, and yes, in a way Intel defined 4 cores as standard. But so did also the enviroment computers was in at the time. As long as there was no demand, or high demand rather, for higher core counts on a basic computer level for home computers, there needed not be more than 4 cores.
Also, in and around 8/16 cores/threads, you're beyond the need for the average computer user, as of now, and the close-ish future.
One can be brand loyalist, that's up to them, but once on top, the king rules with an iron fist.
That is why I try to judge products regardless of the company. Then things are what they are, not what I think they are.

Hence why I'm keeping my 1070 till then

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

Now what would the so-called “NVIDIA killer” going to be competiting against GPU wise

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

Ray tracing probably?

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

AMD has their own tracing

#

So no

#

Not lighting, but like

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

yeah they do

#

that should be before ps5 launch

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

Something making the game seem less pixelated?

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

Unless Nvidia has balls to the wall performance with the new 7nm chips I foresee AMD catching up.

oh shit didnt know they already had it.

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

yeah RIS is out

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

They had it for like

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

and it's better than the Nvidia alternative

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:52 AM

#

A long time lol

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

Ive never really looking into AMD GPUs since the R9 380s or whatever they were called back then

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

ah

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

I've focused my attention mainly on their processors when Ryzen first dropped

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

they're effectively better than the 2060S/2070S

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

Instead of better light reflections, it’s supposed to make the graphics less pixelated

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

I was an intel shill for a while

#

then I converted

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

I saw AMD as the weak little company until a month after having gotten my PC

#

Kek

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

yeah so basically amd just yoinked the fuck out of the lower end lineup

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

I saw them as a budget option when I was building mine lol

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

I knew AMD was gonna eventually come out of the mid end lineup at least

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

100$ less than 2070S, and you've got yourself at least 20 more frames

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

But I went with the blue and green guys in the end

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

Like, just being in mid end forever isn’t fun

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:55 AM

my whole pc is red :)

#

I'm low end though

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:55 AM

it's a damn good card

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:58 AM

It’s a fucking great card in performance

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:58 AM

2080 isn't bad

#

it's great for it's price point

#

That's the card for 4k

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:58 AM

#

Price and perf is better than 2080 Ti lol

chrome chasm Nov 15, 2019, 3:58 AM

But the best in 2080Ti

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:58 AM

Not in price though

chrome chasm Nov 15, 2019, 3:58 AM

Screw price

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:58 AM

yeah but who wants to spend the extra 400$

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:58 AM

You know what I'm mad at? Fucking fans on the x570 chipset.
Off topic slightly but ooooooooooooh that still makes me mad that I'm going back to the 90s with my next board

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

Oh god

#

What

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

Yea the chipset is actively cooled

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

wut

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

if the X670 boards (assuming they come out next year) doesnt have fans I'm going to rage so hard

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

the chipset is too hot

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 3:59 AM

#

But it isnt

#

Der8auer did a test

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

Oh okay

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

it never reached over 60c or something

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

wait actually?

#

what the goddam fuck

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

Yea it's bullshit

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

Wut

#

I am confuse?

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

so the x570 chipset was argued to be too hot

#

so it needed fans

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

The only reason I can see it needing the fan is if you're running two nvme m.2 drives in raid. That might put enough pressure on the chipset to need a fan.

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

basically, it doesn't need fans

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

Chipset is the uhh

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

chipset sends instructions from cpu to gpu and ram and storage

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:01 AM

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

AM4 pretty much, correct

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 4:01 AM

on the Mobo?

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

Or me not know

#

Yes

#

That’s what they speak of

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

AM4 is the socket

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

Oh okay

chrome chasm Nov 15, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

wow

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

yeah, on the mobo

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

Then idk what the fuck is the chipset

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

and apparently that's completely bullshit

cedar fulcrum Nov 15, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

Damn

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

I assumed it was same as socket

#

But nope

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

Your CPU uses the LGA 1151 socket Harold.

"n a computer system, a chipset is a set of electronic components in an integrated circuit known as a "Data Flow Management System" that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found on the motherboard" - Wikipedia

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

yeah

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

I didnt want to type that much

#

so google helped me out

late sorrel Nov 15, 2019, 4:02 AM

#

it's the thing on the mobo that ties everything together

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:03 AM

#

The thing?

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:03 AM

#

Basically the brain if you want to call it that

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:03 AM

Think of it like a rudimentary cpu

#

it's what your bios runs off of before you boot into your os

fleet canopy Nov 15, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

Oh okay

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

it controls your ram and other hardware

chrome chasm Nov 15, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

Well it it run too hot, it's good it got a fan no?

abstract kite Nov 15, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

yes and no

#

A small headsink would have done the same job.

#

Gigabyte was smart and on the Aorus Xtreme boards used a heatpipe connected to the chipset. Cooled it using the overkill VRM headsinks.

#

It's the only passively cooled X570 board outside of watercooling

#

It's also E-ATX and something like $700

#

So it's not really cheap.

#

never gets over temp so I have no fuckn clue why manufactures don't just do that outside of not wanting to pay the production costs
