buying steam games

smh
i need ggod
Stonks
Today we're comparing the cheapest AMD AM5 Six Core CPU with the cheapest Intel 1700 Six Core CPU to see which is better in CPU processor intensive tasks and gaming.
Test Specs:
i5 12400F
R5 7400F
32GB 6400MHz DDR5
Windows 10
0:00 Intro, Specs and Initial Thoughts
1:14 CPU Benchmarks - Cinebench and DaVinci Resolve
1:55 Gaming Tests and Method...
7400f ig
7400f by far
My god it is just Intel naming
I should send this graph to the uninformed to get them to buy Intel

pcs been on for eighteen hours
amd stole 400f naming as well lmao
A pc isn’t truly off until you turn off the power supply
gotta one up intel and nvidia somehow
Fastboot
Disgusting
AMD be like: "i am you now"
I have ryzen
I think you can disable the rgb in bios
You can, I’m confused on why it’s back on
Ryzen
honestly it makes amd look like their cheap copy 
Next they'll lock overclocking to oc capable cpu models and slap a K on the name
i don't see how else they can label a CPU as having no integrated graphics or overclocking
just add an "F" or a "K" because people already know
i thik all cpus should be unlocked
I mean, they'd have to pull a bad PR move and lock down OC in the first place to get to that point
i thnk all motherboiards should bne unlocked
Didn’t Amd used to use e to denote if a cpu had graphics
you really are addicted to slime girls huh
AMD used G for their integrated graphics, e was for efficiency models
i can see how that can be confusing, intel alone already has a bunch of naming schemes for their stuff
people would have to go "hmm what does the G mean" and look it up for each one they don't know
U is for...uh
.. efficency to lmfao
What gave you that idea?

oh you're in for it now
AMD used to use U, H, C, HS and HX
For mobile
Then they moved to Pro and non-Pro
And then they used Pro, Pro HX and non Pro
good lord the naming schemes
Your overclock from before might’ve caused deep corruption
That line up has AI slapped on before the 5 7 or 9
You should do sfc scan
And then they went to AI Max+ Pro or AI Max Pro
first ima fix my ram, xmp not wokring on my corsair
And now they are maybe back to HX?
corsair rams sux lol
no it doesnt
It’s Corsair
You overpaid
I got like 2 or 3 faulty rams from total of other companies and over 10 faulty rams from corsair alone lmao

i can oc this ram more than my B die lmfao
i paid for the lighting
You mean the one you can only use Icue for?
Just get literally any other decent ram
this is decent ram
When it wants to
find me another kit that will overclock as well
i also want four sticks
and it has to have rgb
Just ask @mortal grail
Him or @sweet phoenix
you have a 5600g, you got a overclocking king
I love teamgroup rams
looks and works great
i gotta figure out what die they use
5700g
ez
bro whose making them invisible memes?
wanna know whats funny
this is intels stock settings for my cpu lmfao
not again
This is spam
LMFAO THIS IS SO BAD
Stahp
i have a tune for my cpu that uses the same, or less and maitains higher clocks
its funny
I don't like it
That’s wild
Gameboy tier resolution
I’m ngl I think my pc is cooked
degraded your cpu? 
Real
I can count the pixels
maybe, its been UV for a few months now but its finally haing issues
ugh
running linepack
if it fails rip
...
IM STOCK
welp
rip cpu
Which one
13600kf
Haha
13600mf
mf stands for malfunction
Mf stands for magic find @fresh timber
9950x3d
platfom upgrade time!

ima run jedc ram, prey that fixes it
I shall not prey, I shall predator
Rip
My settings
i set ram to jdec, plz work
ohhh, oohh I think the xmp profile was unstable, im not erroring anymore

i fixed it
just needed super slow ram
can i really not run xmp on this ram stick lmfao
if ur refering to corsair, i dont have a corsair ram stick installed lmfao
Want gpu? Get personal power plant
Tornado sirens just started here
stay safe
Can anyone help me my pc is turning on but no display the rgd comes on and the fans but there is a red and yellow light on my motherboard lit up
Hello @gentle dagger! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.
@mortal grail think I can get this stable? lol
check motherboard manual--those lights indicate specific things
This boutta be fun
I’m not investing more in ddr4.. I have like 8 sticks of d4
Ima debate 7700x 9700x smh, I’m tired of this platform
Tell us when you arrive in Oz
it's gonna be here between 2 and 5 am 💀
right when im trying to freakin sleep
@rancid juniper Hotspot wasnt too hot
my old 2080Ti would be above 90c on the gpu temp
Ugh I hate lga1700
594W total board power seems a bit high
more than my total system power when stressed
lmfao
y
Don't know if the 3 8 pin connectors are rated for that
should be fine though since that's probably just a spike
I don't like lga 
think they are
they should have added a 4th 8 pin connector
I hate my self
Welp
I don’t have am5 mounting hardware for my AIO, I used it in my other AIO
Cheapest method, remove AIO from that build and swap it with a air cooler
think thats a bit less than what the peak total board power was
eh spikes maybe?
That's why I'm not worried
They put some pretty beefy components on this model too so it should be fine
yep
holy
it was 97C before I got a bigger case and more fans
they must have put a small dabble of thermal paste
did you experience any graphical issues?
I saw someone make a video about that exact model and the gap between the gpu and the heatsink was too big
nope. I sold it to a friend for cheap and its still going strong
that explains it
you sold it?
evga wouldn't respond and a bunch of evga defenders harrassed the guy in the comments. the guy did measurements with a micrometer and everything
my friend was going to buy a 4060 and I had to stop him somehow
Do you ever feel
if you are quoting a song I don't want you to continue
No, just asking if anyone feels anything
Yes sir
well I felt happy the other day when I took my car out of storage and then mad when 5 inches of snow fell
no
LIKE A PLASTIC BAG
I thought I made it clear that I didn't want anyone to finish it
Someone had to do it
when I was in grade 10 my class had to do a flash mob to that song and it was recorded and uploaded on youtube. I have some bad memories attached to it.
Hooray 5090s are back in stock! 
They're being sold at 2x msrp 
Floating in the wind
just buy 2 and sell one for 4x msrp
5700g 5090 build
Realest build ever
A person who thinks all the time 🙏💯
I wish my 5800X3D wasn't the limiting factor in Monster Hunter
Use 2 stick
might be time to finally replace my old X570 board that broke in 2019
thats 16gb 👅 ima fix it
broke? so it still works somehow?
you dont have a 5800x3d 
I knocked an audio capacitor off the board when I installed my 2080Ti for the first time
shhh
So damaged not broken
OH GOD
Well the audio is broken so i'd still consider it broken
I'm running an old sound blaster card from 2008 with rust on it for my audio now
get the apple adapter
Subtitles come in handy
I always fear this when I try to remove my GPU. ive learned to use a pencil's eraser head to push down the GPU latch to prevent damaging anything nearby. its soft enough to no do anything
This sound blaster card sounds really good though. I bought a new one a few years ago and it sounds worse than the old one.
This is actually the way
Pencil eraser good
yeah
I fully missed the slot and dropped it on a capacitor
rip
im back to running slow ram 😦
maybe wait one more gen. that 10800x3d is going to be lit
I like my sound blaster card though. Bringing a piece of my first gaming pc to my current one and it sounds a lot better than motherboard audio.
9800x3d is already lit
lit-er
I will probably wait because I just bought this cpu last year
I was still doing car payments back then and couldn't afford a new motherboard
I hate iCUE
My aio is set to the same color as the rest of my PC.
and when it actually decides to light up its always the wrong color
Inb4 AMD changes it to 15800X3D
ha. maybe
if i could get x3d for $500 id do it
I ran out of usb headers on my motherboard so I ran an old phone charging cable through the gap between my gpu and case to plug in my aio
it'd be fun if intel steals x3d naming as well lol
they should just call theirs x4d
or extreme 3d
Intel core ultra 295k extreme 3d
I have such a terrible habit of forgetting to leave myself time to eat when I do scheduling
I used to do that purposely so I would lose weight and it worked.
how tall ru
or nvidia start use xt instead super
Like 5’7” or 5’8”
bro we are like the same
Dang
im only 5 pounds heavier than you bro
Short
Lol
Get the hell outa here
hes like 6'4 bro
Sorry for being 6’3
he cal call us short
I think i was 240 pounds. I gained most of it back when I started eating breakfast and lunch again
😦
I will have you know I am perfectly average from my country

i cant g ain weight
I’m 6’3 210 or smth

heck I'm not even stable opening discord lol
my ram oc isnt tstable but non of the test cought it
ycruncher vt3
i noticed when games like cod, and apps like firefox and discord kept closing for no reason
I gain weight just from thinking about food
it'll find it
ima just run 3200 im just gooing to buy a am5 upgrade smh
heck this isn't looking good
i think ima do 7700x or something until i sell off some of my rigs
once I accidentally set my ddr5 kit voltage to 1.7 and almost everything were crashing without any error lol luckily my windows survived
i aint trying to deal with my intel anymore kek
I ordered a pizza the other day and ate all but one slice and the last piece I ate had bone in it. Now I get a free pizza.
maybe looser tRCDs & tRP
what should i put on my pizza
perhaps, im just tired of playing with it, i jut want my pc to work
steak
ill donate this to my girlfriend probably, i have no use for this platform unless i use it in my nas...
oml a 13600kf nas would be funny
I just OCing my 6000mhz 64gb kit to 6400mhz . and tighten timings . nothing fancy
how much cheese
extra
always need to have extra sauce and cheese. my local dominos doesn't ever put enough
being a fatty today
wake up wake up
22$????????
do i go bigger or nah
X-large
16”
I still not got used to fastfood lol I still prefer eat homemade stuff at restourant
stuff crust pizza with bacon pepperoni sausage
oh yeah by the way
only pizza I like is mexicano
extra spicy
ima make it cheaper
i got parmesan stuffed crust the other day, i don't know if they messed up but there was no garlic flavor and no parmesan sprinkling
its just stuffed crust
take off italian sausage
Think I paid $19CAD for a very similar order a few weeks ago
sausage
use Microsoft Edge so it runs coupons for you lol
Cheese pizza please. But hold the cheese.. and the sauce
Ya know what hold the dough too
the app should have built-in coupons too, coupons for your store and coupons usable everywhere. fyi
the way I see it, Edge is just Chrome minus Google's bs
heck Discord is working for now
compromises sad
yo the chicken with like bbq sauce, bacon, & cheese is fire btw
fr
also the cookie/brownie is so heckin good
If those aren't canadian prices I think you are being scammed
wait... for 3300 I should have FCLK at 2200 no?
next time im going to my dads house im ordering so much pizza bro
2133 isn't like 2/3 synced... isn't that the rule?
I'm gonna go bsod on ycruncher brb
where do i put cupon ew
CANADIAN
I have to quit pizza after I order my free medium I got from complaining about my pizza not being boneless
eh maybe on page 2? (2 of 2)
I stopped giving them tips and that might be why there was bone in my pizza
It hurt when I bit into it
insta-BSOD lol
i don't even know who the tips go to so i never tip
tips go to driver
everyone should have to work a job that depends on tips in their life imo
you always tip at least something once you do fr lol
hey ggod
it should be up to businesses to give livable wages instead of reliance on tips
this is 3200
I get it tho. It's like, "yo tell your employer to pay you instead of me wth"
that's what I meant but you said it better tbh lol
LOCK PAGES
which, uh offhand is in Control Panel... actually just press Start key & search Local Security Policy
then iirc it's in Local Policy>User Rights Assignment
remembering these things is such a marketable skill
I have a union job that pays well above minimum wage and still don't make a livable wage
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WBwypg/gigabyte-b650-aorus-elite-ax-atx-am5-motherboard-b650-aorus-elite-ax yoo this motherboard is fire
doe that negativly affect other stuff
it basically disables paging
I don't think they actually bother with any of the crust seasonings anymore. The local place hasn't done it in years
so it could be bad if you run out of RAM
but otherwise, it should make your computer slightly faster since it won't push stuff from memory onto an M.2
could also disable memory compression
not sure either really has that large of an impact but
FCLK 2200. I wonder if I could actually get this stable for daily fr
the only problem is, I'm for sure gonna end up borking win11 in the process aren't I?
oh well too late
how much ur 7900x3d cost u buddy
He should've gotten 7950X3D
eh let's just say an amount that justified getting it lol
replacement grill parts are so cost prohibitive like
why not just say the price is, "just buy a new grill dammit"
heck BSOD browsing Amazon lol
share me the 9950x3d
lol ya 7900X3D is basically 7600X3D for gaming

I like that emote
6600c30 1:1 not looking very achievable rn. I think I should probably just do 6400 meh
Still better than my ram
6600c30 on 64gb would be pretty heckin nice
will I notice the difference in everyday use? is it worth the time & effort to get there, reinstall inevitably borked win11, etc.? will anything actually be better other than I get to say, "look what I did?"
the answer to all of those questions is no
64gb is unstable after 6400mhz for me
okay... trying 6600c28-41-43-34@1.65v
in 1:1?
BSOD again
dammit
okay 6400 now
I don't wanna do this for a week
6400mhz is ok
ya I think I can sleep okay at night with 6400
if i went am5 and didnt wanna suffer, 6400 or 6000 cl28
I'm considering just putting 6200 again
I had to update BIOS
that's what started this
im a retired ram overclocker
cuz I kept having issues with some GPIO thing
& having functional USB is kinda nice
or maybe I'll just go stupid & throw spaghetti at trying to get 2:1 8000 to run lol
nah to heck with that
not really afik
I got better ycruncher scores with 6400 1:1 than 8000 with 2x16gb
I think it's because I really dunno what SCLs should run at 8k
I may get better kit later couse core ultra loves faster ram 
48gb ram is kinda appealling 🤔
trident royal don't have 64gb kit in gold color F
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JP7scf/crucial-pro-48-gb-2-x-24-gb-ddr5-6000-cl48-memory-cp2k24g60c48u5 if you need capacity and dont care about speed 🦨
but they have 96gb kit in gold 
id get 96gb if i wanted to spend that much, would be a flex
good
$300 for 4x32gb DR A-die... that's like 128gb of RAMz
that's so stupid g.skill have gold kits for every size except 64gb lmao
they have 32 48 96
but not 64
I survived iteration 0
my mom said i can order the pizza chat, but later
like why
pog
said my want to get more GPUs to benchmark to my wallet
ohhh heck
iteration 1 passed
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-96gb-ddr5-6000/p/N82E16820374689 this kit is so cool
only like 8 hours left until stable
I tested 192gb ram few days ago and it giving only 3600mhz lmao
9700x is cheaper than 7700x lmfao
4x48gb kit
can u run 4800
barely
good mobos can do
That price
they stupidly don't have gold 64gb kit
I should throw my 48gb kit in with the 64gb
have some sort of mega RAM frankenstein thing going on
what prebuilt budget prebuilt pc would you guys recommend? im looking at this one from bestbuy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i5-14400f-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-8gb-1tb-ssd-black/6575072.p?skuId=6575072

thats another one from newegg
I sold some of them they're pretty stable . didn't try OC it but yeah they work fine
@sweet phoenix what do you think?
Iteration 4 finished awww yeee
they do but giving very low mhz . with 4x48gb it gave me 3600mhz
What’s your budget
4 sticks 6000 when
under $800
ideally $700
i dont really care if it will provide a relatively lower amount of performance
as long as it is great for expandibility or upgradability
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RG3nwY mhh i wonder how the bundle compares
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
i really just put a motherboard that looks asa premium as the one i have rn lol
o lord
O LORD
Then Go am5
oh yeah the bundle is alotu cheaper
but like what prebuilt pc like in specific would you recommend?
if you do more than just gaming (software that uses alot of cpu) then go for the 9900x bundle, if not then go for the 9700x
whats the perfroamnce diffrence i wonder
same single threaded performance
yea so gaming wont matter much
$600 is a pretty difficult price point
At that price I’d just recommend a console
im liking the 7700x price, right up my ally
Unless you need a pc for other tasks besides gaming
The one I want.
7700x is solid
play Palworld
ram wanna go from perfectly fine to kaboom doesnt wana work anymore
but if i cant run 4000mt/s ram why the hell am i goig to keep this paltform
i play cpu heavy stuff anyways
9700x looks worth on that chart ngl
so technically if you bought the 7700x it would be no different from a 13600k
What’s your budget
um
im using ddr4
their will be a diffrence
like under 800, ideally 700
ok
what about thisL https://www.newegg.com/cyberpowerpc-gaming-desktop-pc-geforce-rtx-3050-intel-core-i5-14400f-16gb-ddr5-128-gb-ssd-gx8239-white/p/N82E16883230800?Item=N82E16883230800&_gl=1*1x9or9a*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NDI4NjgwMjIuQ2owS0NRandoWVNfQmhEMkFSSXNBSlRNTVFhNjdUd1VSWkhleE1pN3N3LXVuQzZUcTQ3VUtpdy1iUUVRWms5YUE2OXBVR29qU3JmRFczUWFBamlFRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*NzYzNzkzNDIuMTc0Mjg2Nzk1Mg.._gaNjQ1NjUxMDc2LjE3NDI4Njc5NTI._ga_TR46GG8HLRMTc0MzM3NjkwNS40LjEuMTc0MzM3NzU5Mi4wLjAuMTY3NjE2NDg1NA..
one is faster ya
C16 vs c30
but idk up to yu
It’s faster if you need more bandwidth
i still struggle to find benchmarks that really compare
nobody uses damn ddr4 anymore 😦
not 3200mhz but close enough imo https://youtu.be/YESz_XA2kKc?si=pBiyfyv2CdQMatu9

Doubt there’s any difference if you’re not at 1080p with a 4090
Even then it’s minimal
im playing 1440p low medium anyways for most my games
ddr5 has the 15 low advantage while having the same fps
@sweet phoenix how is this one for its price tag: https://www.newegg.com/cyberpowerpc-gaming-desktop-pc-geforce-rtx-3050-intel-core-i5-14400f-16gb-ddr5-128-gb-ssd-gx8239-white/p/N82E16883230800?Item=N82E16883230800&_gl=1*1x9or9a*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NDI4NjgwMjIuQ2owS0NRandoWVNfQmhEMkFSSXNBSlRNTVFhNjdUd1VSWkhleE1pN3N3LXVuQzZUcTQ3VUtpdy1iUUVRWms5YUE2OXBVR29qU3JmRFczUWFBamlFRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*NzYzNzkzNDIuMTc0Mjg2Nzk1Mg.._gaNjQ1NjUxMDc2LjE3NDI4Njc5NTI._ga_TR46GG8HLRMTc0MzM3NjkwNS40LjEuMTc0MzM3NzU5Mi4wLjAuMTY3NjE2NDg1NA..
dam cyberpunk got a good jump
3050 is an insta no
id love a 3050 6gb lp 👅
Has to really cheap to be worth buying
ok yeah it aint worth
some games get 20fps while alot get 2 fps
only worth is the x3d
i wish they tested games i played, cant ask for everything
gpu bottlenecking at 1440p med-low
@sweet phoenix then what prebuilt would you recommend for by budget?
a game i play
yeahhh gpu goin make it bigger
ill be on the lookut for the $500 ish gpus i guess
9060??
lmfao this is in stock
50 series in stock, thats like crazy
To give you an example why you don’t want a 3050, it’s the same performance of a 1660 super, which I bought at $80
@silk sonnet

compared to this one: CyberPowerPC
CyberPowerPC - Gamer Xtreme Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i5-14400F - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB - 1TB SSD - Black
its like they want me to buy a 5070
That’s not the worst
why not diy
custom built?
Yes
yes
just looking at prebuilts as a backup thats all
My old monitor I am using lets me increase refresh rate in this, interesting, way... should I even touch this?
a backup?
my situation is weird
go for it
Put it up to 75
do highest tbh
what about this one?
and you could check in monitor's settings (like the buttons on the heckin thing) for settings like "Response Time" & set it to highest too
nvm, when I do it, the monitor resolution drops to super low lol
heck maybe that's why the asteriks are there
aura farming
Better than the last
also slightly cheaper
But I’d highly suggest diy
also if you would recommend a prebuilt in the same or lower price range what would it be?
DIY is better value & you learn in the process
get that, "heck ya, I built that" feelling like when you finish a big Lego set
or change your own oil

its backordered tho
someone?
did I lose internet
or is the chat dead all of a sudden
it was very active a few minutes ago
No
Currently your best prebuilt you’ve shown is this
You should buy used parts at that price point
im looking at used nvidia and amd lol
@silk sonnet Check this out on @Newegg:MSI Codex R2 Gaming PC, Intel Core i5-14400F, GeForce RTX 4060, 16GB DDR5, 1 TB PCIe SSD, Windows 11 Home, Codex R2 B14NUC5-216US Refurb https://www.newegg.com/msi-gaming-desktop-pc-geforce-rtx-4060-intel-core-i5-14400f-16gb-ddr5-1tb-nvme-ssd-codex-r2-b14nuc5-216us-black/p/N82E16883151611?Item=N82E16883151611&tpk=1
Refurbished and saves $200
@frigid stag thinkin about it a oled would bring a better upgrade
cod better than CoD
a oled at 140-180 fps would feel better than a ips with new gpu running a 240
I don’t really want a refurbished
What do you think a refurbished one is?
referbished is fine
this one
Most refurbished PCs are simple returns.
Meaning one of the following:
someone used it for an hour and returned.
They didn’t even open it and returned
They opened it, returned it.
Hm
That is 90% of returns
why woudltn u want openbox/referb, cheaper and same protections
Open box is returned in non-original packaging/slight cosmetic damage.
does comsetic damange really matter
No
if the core protduct fuctions as intended, thats a win for me
@silk sonnet this is probably your best bet
Maybe there’s another deal somewhere, but seeing as this is sold and shipped by Newegg
Unless it is an ASUS product and try to use the warranty 
There’s a whole lot of warranty on it
Then it'll matter
Luckily that’s an msi product
im high asf and the tornado sirens are going off LMAO
Stay safe pls
full brick house
@worthy meteor this is funy
i generate so much heat in my room that when i walk into the hallway going to my room its hot asf
@sinful blade
but before i walk into it, very cold and nice
I just realized the performance difference between the 3050 and 3060
its wild
but like
Oh yeah crazy diff
$599 for i5 14th gen is crazy
like ddr5 ram?
i play like mincraft a majority of the time
maybe some flight sim at most
im probably assuming it wont get me very far for 3d modelling and video editing
but like I can always upgrade when I really need to
It’s pretty good for that
the 3050?
the 3050 is only good at wasting your money
Never get a xx50 card in general these days
Not even a 1050ti is good
Not anymore
🤨
get this if you’re not gonna build it yourself @silk sonnet
1050 ti is like 7 years old
50 class died after GTX 1650 imo
1650 super was a great card
But it’s now very not
2016 or 2017 iirc
but like I can get the same one for like 30 dollars more
Pascal came out in 2016 no?
Wym
i dont really want a refurbished
With a 1650 and some random i3 or i5
Close enough
I’m telling you, the “refurbished” tag doesn’t mean anything
the msi codex I was talking about earlier has similar specs, just a 13th gen instead of 14th
The budget gamer pc
3050 never had good rep lmfao
13th gen to 14th gen is an improvement
Don’t downgrade for no reason
just get a 4090

I use a 4060 and it’s good
Improvement is a strong word
Imagine RTX 5010... with missing ROPs
maybe, but it is still an improvement
A 4060 will perform good, but it's overpriced af for what you're getting
im also willing to do custom build, its just that the gpus are kind of expensive
So true
even used ones
If you will, Bacca made a good list for you
6700xt is a great gpu for used
2gb VRAM
Lol wtf there’s a 5070 for 280
If you have Facebook marketplace, bulk sellers will often sell at a discount
Card too strong for its own good
Can do 1440p
i know its great but the gpu....
DDR RAM actually, VRAM too good for 5010
And they changed the price immediately 💀
cant find one for this, atleast one that is not for bidding
on ebay, that is
Just wait for a discount price
EDO RAM
Look on Mercari(if in US), jawa(US), eBay, Facebook marketplace
Whats the budget he's working with?
Gonna cook with that 40mhz
900
Just get a 3070 or a 6800 then
...$900?
Can u trust B and H
Yes
Yes
Yeah around that
Without the gpu, case and windows, the thing is 500
Which I guess is pretty solid
What if gpu manufactures just started manufacturing more?
Don't gotta pay for windows, all activation does is let you customize things
Does anyone use something other than Google Messenger on Android? Something with AdGuard keeps signing me out but I'd rather use something else than restrict adguard at all when it comes to heckin spying Google
I'd stay with the Samsung messenger thing but it doesn't look like it's getting RCS
Nah google messenger is best
Samsung messenger is also getting discontinued
Don't think the S25 even comes with it anymore
& SMS Organizer hasn't been updated in like 6 months so I dunno if support ended or not
AdGuard signing you out is weird, never had that issue before
I think it's something about tokens expiring I dunno. It happens on YouTube too
Using adguard?
Yeah
Heck maybe I should reinstall or something
I use imessage
ASRock AMD Radeon RX 6600 Challenger White 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card 0dB Silent Cooling 128-bit 7680 x 4320 DisplayPort HDMI 14 Gbps Dual Fan 7nm
Is this one good?
I haven't had iPhone since XS Max. These days it's hard to decide which one I dislike more lol
for what
Gaming, 3d modeling, video editing and that jazz
Probably need nvidia then
There are no bad GPUs, only bad GPU prices lol
For 3D modelling
Depends what program
a gpu that doesnt even power on and is a gt610 for $0
that a bad price
ngl
I’m ngl I think I forgot to tip
Overall how is it, it cost $200
I’m not really doing anything intense
Meh
How much is a 2080ti for you @silk sonnet
Wdym how much
How much is the cheapest 2080ti for you?
Does this produce include a cpu fan already?
It's 💩
Lock in bruh
I did not
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, DIYPC ARGB-R1 ATX Mid Tower
2080ti, 3070, 4070, 6700xt, 6800
Nvm
Can you link one from a trusted website and seller please?
Bacca can do that better than I @sweet phoenix
K
The places I look post on week days
Also it says the 8400F is faster because of the clock speed or something
Why is the 7500F better
Can some please elaborate?
Intel?
The 8400f has the cpu performance of a 5600/x, it has much less cache than the 7500f
The 7500f is an igpuless 7600 with a minor downclock
An A750 is a solid pick
I didn’t really have intel in mind for my first gpu lol
I’ll try to find a used gpu in a sec
Maybe it’s good idk
Gotta finish this d2 thing
hm...destiny 2
ok so here we go:
custom built
$700
ryzen 7500F
Intel ARC A750
32 gigs of DDR5 ram
1 tb ram
Prebuilt:
$830
Intel 13th gen
it5
i5
4060
16 gigs DDR5
or
$599
Intel i5 14th gen
16 gigs DDR5
3050(i know i know)
1 tb
soooooo
guys
which one
@sweet phoenix and @sinful blade
(sorry for the ping)
599 one is awful
its 599
Still awful
It’s not worth the 599
so thats eliminiated
The 700 one sounds ok but I wouldn't put an a750 in it
bacca chose it
A750 while a decent card, intel gpus are not for the casual user
if there is a better option link it
thats like a 100 dollars more
Could just buy another used gpu then sell the a750
If you love messing with settings, fixing daily issues, stuff like that
A750 is great value
It was just the only option on hand
To be like "Just gaming" it's a bit overwhelming ngl
2080ti FE
Ah
I said wait till tmrw and I will find you a better option
Ah
I've also found you three other options that sold because you weren't purchasing when you asked for them
ok lets wait until tomorrow then
are the other components in the custom build good?
Ehhh
the pc is like 460 without the gpu, case and windows btw
elaborate?
You dont need to buy windows
just saying
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, DIYPC ARGB-R1 ATX Mid Tower
I only saw 4 out of 7 or 8 major components with no details
No ssd name no psu name, case, ram name, motherboard etc
Better psu and mobo would give you more upgradability, but thats up to you
This with a 3070 would hose any of the 3 listed earlier
3070 being the absolute max
well
I surely want the mobo to have better upgradability
is there a better one than the part pickers list
thats isnt too expensive?
compared to that one
Pg lightning is difficult to beat
Next 3 options
