[@Rottieuk]

@@VincentAmadeus I tried replying before, but it got deleted. Anyways, in answer to your question, yes you should be able to run games at 1440P. However, it will largely depend on the game you are playing, as to whether you will be able to run at medium, high or ultra settings. I have a 27" curved monitor that runs natively 1440P @ 144Hz. One last thing I would advise, if your monitor has a DP (Display Port) input, then use a high quality DP to DP cable to connect to the RX 6750 XT, instead of HDMI.

[@GameBMC1]

I have a r7 5700x3d and a Rx 6700 xt and it uses about 250w for the whole system when "stressed normally". And even when the GPU and CPU is at full load for both it only goes up to 360w max. It's a really efficient setup. And don't forget about the 12gb of vram. The CPU uses 80w max and GPU about 180w max. I have a really good undervolt on the GPU/CPU. It was a pain to get it right but when you do. Man it's efficient. And I also got the idle power draw to drop from 80-90w to just over 50w just impressive. And the CPU doesn't go above 60 degrees

[@koenuffing4416]

That power efficiency is seriously a bigger deal than you might expect. I have an old/limited PSU, so the 4060's low power consumption is terrific. I don't think enthusiasts really consider those use cases really

[@Qalibrated]

@@GameBMC1 You're lucky. I have an RX 6750 XT and it runs like crap. Regular frame dips/stutters, freezes for like half a sec every so often. It's made even more annoying by the fact that it runs pretty smooth overall, so getting those random short freezes like every 30 sec in a fast paced game is really frustrating and ruins the whole experience. Tried a ton of "fixes" but can't find any way to fix it. Haven't given up on it yet, though, and it's luckily not my main GPU, so there's that at least.

I was expecting to see the CPU smoke the GPU and had no surprises except the high usage in Starfield. This combo is not ideal but at least it follows an important rule of PC building : Get the strongest CPU you can.

[@rover-raid6396]

People forget that in most locations the 3060 and 4060 are the same price new, and the 3060 was considered a good price to performance card. It gets way too much hate. So basically its a new, slightly more powerful, slightly more efficient 3060, with much better software for the same price.

Wtf that's such a big increase going to Linux.

[@monotheisticmortal5122]

@@Loundsify Probably down to the horrible driver overhead you get in Windows

[@andymeenanvideos]

5600g club also, is the 6600 the best bet in October 2024 for the 5600g also why Linux and is it something I should change to ASAP???

[@edhuismanster]

@@Loundsify Not sure why the big increase but as @monotheisticmortal5122 said, it's probably due to more overhead in Windows. Linux does come with it's own drivers for AMD video cards and when Nvidia starts providing Linux with non-proprietary drivers that come with the distro then that might be a whole different ball game. The only way to be sure would be to test both Windows and Linux with the same parts, I am sure that a RX6600 GPU is not 30% better than an RTX 4060. One other point, not sure if this video was done with ray tracing on or off as the AMD card doesn't do well with ray tracing and would tank severely.

5700x3d + rx7800xt, goated combo

[@cerevor]

BG3 is not potentially "bothering" because it requires a smooth experience like a First Person Shooter (as you say, it doesn't), but because it's simply an indicator for games more generally which are very CPU-intensive, especially future ones. And especially in combination with a GPU that's more powerful than this one. If it dips to 77% or so with a not very powerful card (even for a moment), this can be seen as a bother. But then Larian just makes the most CPU intensive games in the world... (As silly as it may be.) I'm guessing another open world game, e.g. GTA6, might be an alternative that reproduces it, but this time also with much higher GPU demand.

[@dragonman910]

3 1/2 years ago, I built one of the best systems that I could at the time during the big tech shortage. I9 10850k (only the 10900k was above it, but I didn't want to spend so much extra money on a cpu to get 1-3% more performance), 3070 (there was a shortage of 3080s and 90s, so I would've had to wait indefinitely for one), 32gb ddr4-3200, 1tb ssd, 2tb hdd, and a 700w psu. Fast forward to today, and I have since added a 2tb ssd for games to keep my 1tb ssd for booting. I swapped the case to a Corsair 5000d airflow, upgraded cooling to a 240mm capellix aio, upgraded from ddr4-3200 to 3600, added better case fans, and swapped the 3070 for a 6750xt (8gb wasn't getting it done anymore, so I got a card with more vram (12gb) that performs similar to the 3070 without breaking the bank. I paid $350 for the 6750xt on sale). Since I don't have an issue with rocking last gen parts with am4, I'm thinking about saving for a decent am4 motherboard with the 5700x3d since I don't have the money anymore to spend on a super high end system.

[@Loundsify]

5800X3D performs around a Ryzen 7600X but can beat it in a few titles that benefit from the L3 cache. Maybe look at building a B650 with a Ryzen 7600X, I bet there will be a few bundle deals this Christmas period.

[@dodgydruid]

I spent last couple days salvaging a dying 1tb HDD, it was quite a journey as I had to chkdsk fix the HDD then copy the media files to the new SSHD and because the old drive was dying it took many clicks on retry to get nearly a terabyte's worth of video and DaVinci Resolve assets into its new home. The new drive is a 4tb which goes nicely with my other 1tb HDD and my 1tb M2 SSD having now six terabytes of storage and because the failing drive wasn't dragging the Window's stack down anymore the machine has perked up nicely. I am now looking for a B5xx motherboard next upgrade and to fit my now fixed modified AIO, I picked up two MSI Coreliquid kits, one the triple fan 360 the other the twin fan 240. All I have done is take the fans and rad from the twin fan and run it into the loop, my case is the monstrous sized Cooler Master HAF-XM, the triple fan rad will sit at the top and the twin rad sit on the rear panel, I need to get an updated motherboard as my A320 Asrock doesn't have RGB plugs and the MSI kits require the RGB stuff to power the lights and fans. I did toy with using the twin fan rad as an AIO for my RX580SP but it barely raises an eyebrow let alone a pulse when I am gaming. Oh I swapped out the thermal paste on the CPU and put in a squidge of that HP phase changing thermal material and my rig lost 5 degrees across the board, works VERY well indeed :D

[@helenFX]

Is there a reason why you'd want to drop settings rather than use DLSS ? Esp at 1440p?

[@arch1107]

the video focus on showing how good the gpu does, not how good is any scaling technology that is just cheating using the cpu to help

[@helenFX]

@@arch1107 i don't agree that its cheating lol. He isnt' trying to ma\ke ranked lists of GPUs and CPUs but to show off how the games would look if you played them on this combination of hardware. So not using DLSS just seems to be a bffling choice because people with this hardware would use dlss.

[@jerkrop]

@@helenFX I think the point was to show the rasterized performance of the GPU specifically as that shows the true performance of a GPU when comparing to other GPUS as technically DLSS/XESS/FSR is kind cheating in a way only because it doesn't show the "true performance" of the card when relying on these upscaling technologies. Which is why he used native and no DLSS technology.

[@helenFX]

@@jerkrop yeah. It makes me sad when he does that though - there are probably hundreds of channels that benchmark hardware using games in the way that you describe. RandomGaming was one of the few that would reliably show off the games to their best using various kind of hardware in a way similar to what digital foundry do but for budget and 2nd hand devices.

[@Healcraft]

@@arch1107 kind of but at the same time, choosing a 4060 vs a 7600 xt, that stuff can be the deciding factor. Also not sure why he was talking about FSR on starfield when it supports DLSS 3 , framegen, and nvidia reflex now

[@MrElliot1210]

If you're already picking graphics settings to hit a certain frame rate, I don't see why upscaling would need to be left out. Especially testing a GPU of this caliber at 1440p.

[@jbetancourt11]

1:13 You probably meant to say 7600xt. I have a Zotac 4060 solo in a tiny velka 3 build paired with a 13400f. It's a great combo for the price and portability. The best AMD gpu I could have fit in this case is a hard to find short 6600xt which performs slightly worse. I wanted to go with an AMD gpu to build a little steam machine. I ended up building a separate PC for this use case.

[@fatidicusaeternus6498]

I don't think 7600xt makes sense at that price, I'm guessing he meant 7700xt

[@jbetancourt11]

I assumed 7600xt based on its price and performance relative to the 4060. In the US where I live, it's roughly the same price as the 4060. The 7700xt is generally faster than the 4060 Ti and costs about $100 more than the 7600xt, so it didn't seem to make sense that he'd pick it for comparison. Edit: I noticed he mentioned pricing of $382 for the 7800xt when on sale. Maybe he really did mean the 7700xt, like you said. I see them on sale for $389 on Amazon 😂

[@fatidicusaeternus6498]

@@jbetancourt11 that is the case everywhere, £382 is considerably more than what the 7600xt/4060 go for but much less than the 7800xt. It's a realistic sale price for the 7700xt

I just checked and the 7700xt goes for about that while the 7800xt is currently 420 and at the top of the chart so maybe the latter was even on a super sale

used 3060ti is one of the best deals you can get right now, it has the same memory bandwidth as the 3070. Just avoid the EVGA ones because some of those have a memory issue.

[@CreativeHuckleBerry]

I was planning to buy an Rtx 4060 but read that the Gtx 1080ti is a better option due to 11gb Vram, also it's half the price here where i live, a 4060 is 330€. So i found a used Gtx 1080ti for 150€, changed the thermal paste and pads and found an used Ryzen 5 3600 for 50€. I did not go that cheap on the motherboard, so i bought a brand new "Asus TUF b450-Plus2" that support First/Second/Third generation Ryzen processors out of the box, no need with bios update. I got in Rdr2 benchmark on 1080p with Medium-High. Minimun: 51fps Maximun: 119fps Avg: 94fps

[@onlypvpcaterina-6669]

With the 5700x3d you not making use of the cache system it has unless you pair it with a amd gfx card, That and the 5700x3d is only like few fps better off, Which is kinda pointless having the x3d, You might aswell have a 5700x like me and buy a nvidia gfx card, I have a 4070 and these 2 work great side by side, Best value per performance in my words, And i only have 3200mhz ddr4 too, Good ram for the price. Games are great if you after a near high end pc for a good price, I'am still old school in 1080p, All my games are mostly 110 - 144 fps or more. I love it, Even in 2024 ! 😇 , Great video, James 👍 Thank you ! - Edit - AM4 will never die, It maybe a generation behind, But being a generation behind is the best way to get the best value for you money for playing games on ultra !

Ehh, good combo of parts and good performance all round. And if your PC can handle higher presets, then why not use them 😂 I can't remember what preset I use for FH4 on my 3060Ti and 5950X but it looks good!
