[@gergoturi7559]

@@demonkingrigaldo-2456 of course I don't mind. There were 3 reasons why I went with the 7700x over the 7800x3d: 1) I bought my setup last summer and the 7800x3d was 40-50% more expensive, while only about 10% faster, than the 7700x in gaming. 2) The 7800x3d is very sensitive to voltage, so a lot of them burned out on a couple of AM5 motherboards after launch. Of course, those mobos received the proper BIOS updates, but I still didn't want to risk it. 3) I wasn't exactly sure about only using my PC for gaming, so I rather went with a more generalist approach. The 7700x is running at higher clock speeds, so in other non-cache sensitive tasks it's better than the 7800x3d. If you're looking to buy I advise you to wait a couple of months, because ryzen 9000 is rumoured to launch this summer.

Im no tech guru but i feel like using am5 only for the upgrade path is useless because for the majority of people they wont upgrade for like 5 or more years and therell be a new socket that is prevalent by then so i see no point in doing this.

[@alexis_angel]

Considering AM4 came out in 2016 and still gets support and new CPUs I'd say investing in AM5 is worth it, even if there's a new socket in 5 years you can still buy AM5 CPUs that will be faster than current ones, and if AM6 or whatever is out they'll most likely be pretty well priced too.

[@daboiii123]

@alexis_angel yh I get your point. Despite this I kinda feel like intel is a more well rounded chip. You can get more for the same price brand new from intel compared to amd. I get your point tho

[@daboiii123]

For example a 14600k or kf has more to offer than a 7700x which are almost at the same price, intel often being slightly cheaper

[@alexis_angel]

@daboiii123 I do agree that Intel offers better performance per dollar than Ryzen 7000 right now. A decent DDR5 mobo + 7700X costs about the same as a decent DDR5 mobo + 14600KF in the US, and the 7700X combo is ~$30 more in Sweden where I live. If you're willing to go DDR4 you'll also save even more. The 14600K also offers ~10% performance in games which is nice. But even then there's 2 issues, AM4 is still going strong, and offers the same or better performance oer dollar than Intel, so if you really don't care about future upgradability you might as well go with that. And 2, in the long run going on LGA1700 will cost you more, sure 10% better performance now is great, but in 5 years having to spend an extra $120 for a new motherboard instead of using your current one won't feel so swell. When Intel 15 gen drops I'd say buying into it will be a good idea, assuming it's not a bad gen. Idk about productivity on AM4 vs LGA1700 vs AM5 so that might be different from gaming value.

This is just blatantly not true.

Also, it's not necessarily about if you notice it or not especially if you don't know much about PC building in general, it's more about just throwing away that money, you could easily play all the games you ever wanted to with a lower end setup but still have paid many hundreds over what you needed to while at the same time bottlenecking your system so that it's never possible to even see the usefulness of most of that money.

Can I share something I just clean my pc For the first time and im glad its still working These RGB lights is beautiful without those dust i just inhaled

[@Breakerisaac]

If you work on ai development or game development definitely go for the 4080 super

[@AndrewCC01]

Good info here 👏🏼 However, I recently bought a new 7900 GRE which was a dud right out the box. Maybe I was unlucky. Exchanged for a 4070 Super which has been fantastic (with a 7 7700 X CPU) 🎉

I currently have a 4070 what should I upgrade to? (GPU)

[@gabru3712]

What should i do with my pc, should i keep my ryzen 5 pro 4650g and get a meh gpu like the rtx 3060/rx 7600 or should i get a new am5 pc?

[@ItsNeverMe]

What do you do with your pc?

[@SlippyVR_]

Saw this and figured I'd get your opinion on my upgrade thought process. For context I am an awfully small VR KZbinr and Editor for my Channel and I have often ran into some Driver bugs while doing these actions I am currently using a Radeon RX 6700 and a Ryzen 5 5500 and I thought I would upgrade my system to a Nvidia RTX 4070 and a Intel Core i5 12600KF though I want to be careful about this and kind of want your verdict on this

[@Yxhya786]

Do u have any good pc shops for the uk or does jawwa send it to the uk is well

[@Andy-lz6gb]

My 7700x is definitely bottle-necked by my 3060ti with a hefty over clock. I got a good deal because everyone was upset about ddr5 still

[@byZeric]

What do you think of rtx 4060 and ryzen 5 1600? Is the bottlenck too big?

[@lighninflashx_x]

I have a i7-7700k and a gtx 660, and i was thinking to upgrade to a newer gpu (rtx 4070 super ti) but i checked the bottleneck calculation and it was 40% i didnt mind it until i checked your new vids and bottle neck seems like a serious issue that should not be avoided

[@RinoAP]

just buy 4K monitor and you're fine

[@lighninflashx_x]

@@RinoAP huh? How does that remove the bottle neck my friend?

[@RinoAP]

@@lighninflashx_x higher resolution means more pixel to render, so, the GPU is working much harder

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

@@lighninflashx_x Nah, more frames = worse for CPU. 60fps 4k is best case scenario for bottleneck like this. Basically, number of frames is dependant on cpu, quality of them is dependant on gpu.

[@faticecr3am]

Going from a 7700x to 14700k is crazy. Complete change in platform. You lose the future proofing and for gaming you don’t need that many cores. Like Zach said the gpu is the problem not the cpu.

[@DaNoobKingRL]

Should i upgrade my current pre built (GtX 1650, Ryzen 3 3200G & DDR4 ram & AM4 socket) or build a new one with a better motherboard?

Zach, do you do shipping to other countries? I am from Colombia and would love to buy one of your builds because that kind of service is a very rare around here but idk if u do international shipping

[@alexis_angel]

No. Shipping international costs hundreds of dollars so it wouldn't be worth it.

[@Sam-ph7cf]

i plan on buying the 7700xt. but the issue is that my processor is ryzen 5 3600. i mostly will use my pc for 3d stuff (maya, zbrush, blender, etc) how bad will the bottleneck be? also amd does support 3d softwares right?

[@unmortal8672]

remember you should always go for a generational upgrade preferably 2-3 gens so you really feel that upgrade. Otherwise you're not gonna feel the value as much. Also current gen stuff is relevant for around 5-8 years. So unless youre actively having issues with frame rates its inadvisable to upgrade.

That's a hard one, you should upgrade everything. Look if you can find a cheap/free pc near you on a local marketplace. That's how I got my pc for free (i7-6850K, GTX 1080) If you really want to keep your pc, I can give you some suggestions tomorrow or so, just answer me so I don't forget :)

Currently have a 5600x with a 3070, is it worth upgrading to a 5800x3D? To gain some FPS and help with my 1% lows which I feel needs to be cleaned up in a sense. I’ll also plan to upgrade the GPU later on maybe a higher 4000 series card like 4080 so if that helps with that CPU upgrade

[@noahm5705]

I’d recommend if you make any upgrades, it should be significant

[@noahm5705]

Get more ram first, then cpu. 16gb of ddr4 can’t keep up with modern titles well due to the speed, but generally I upgrade the cpu before the gpu as new titles are more cpu demanding, like warzone 3, dragons dogma 2, etc

[@ChungyCheese]

Should i get a 7900 gre or a 4070 super (streaming on yt (AV1 encoding), unreal engine editor, and gaming) gonna get a 7800x3d

for anyone that will say not to upgrade to amd because driver instability use ddu (display driver uninstaller), it will wipe the nvidia driver, which is what makes the amd drivers unstable

[@fluffly8935]

Literally about to upgrade to exactly this, right now I have a gtx 1650, going for i7 and rtx 4080 super

[@KevinFromHPCustomerSupport]

Do yourself a favour, and go with an AMD cpu. They are OBJECTIVELY better than intel while being at the same price points, AND while keeping the same sockets for much longer I recommend 7800 X3D

[@Sandfill]

At the very least What is the gpu would you recommend for a 540hz monitor (I play competitive minecraft and valorant)

[@noahm5705]

Gpu isn’t as important for those games, especially valorant, get a good cpu and a decent gpu and you’ll be good to go, especially since competitive settings are low anyways

[@Zxf1ty]

What you do you recommend for a ryzen 3200g rn I have a GeForce 210 and the gpu can’t use external power

[@wakcedout]

Yes I got a 7700x and no issues, rocking an rx 7600 and looking at the rx 7600 xt for a boost in vram. I’m fine with a good 1080p gaming pc.
