I want to get a 5900x i have a 3900x, 9900ks and 8700k as my cpu s now. But at 1440p/4k gaming I don t think it will be any faster than my ks at 5.2ghz. I have a x570 Asus crosshair Viii Hero Wifi with my 3900x and if I get a 5900x i will be moving my fastest gpu to that rig. And while i have a strix 2080ti, strix 2080, radeon vii, nitro 5700xt se, and reference 5700xt for current gpu s I want to get an hdmi 2.1 compatible gpu. I debating on waiting to see if the 3080ti is true or maybe trying to find a 3080 or getting a 6800xt. While amd performance looks good its the drivers and software that let me down in the past with black screen crashes, stuttering, audio problems and many many crashes with the software. As for nvidia its been pretty much hassle free from the 780 to the 2080ti. But i do like a slower 16gb s of vram way more than 10gb s of faster vram. I just bought an lg cx oled and would like to hook up a gpu to it. I had money put back for a 3090 but went ahead an preordered a series x and ps5 and used the rest to help buy the tv. Which if anyone s in the market for a tv the cx is probably the best option for a gamer right now and if you buy before November 11th you get a free xboom Bluetooth speaker. I ve always tried to keep up with the fastest tech but i might be starting to get burnt out and its not like a 99000ks and 2080ti is slow.

Fantastic work and performance! Can't help but feel like a lot of the fun of these product launches have been siphoned by paper launches IE scalpers buying and reselling every last bit of stock. It's as if any techie looking to have decent holidays will just have to have their holidays sometime next year, or just overpay scalpers, which i hope most do not do. It's like can i technically buy any of these products at retail MSRP that have launched since septemeber, on a whim? 3080, no. How about 3090, or 3070? nope there too. New amd cpus? nah bruddah, next year inventory. Okay i've lost my luck in the PC market, how about consoles. PS5? ha, Good joke! okay, xbox series X? nah bruddah, next year too. 2020 what a wash of a year lol.

It's hard to take gaming benchmarks seriously when they are done at 1080p. I know that makes the test more CPU-bound, but fewer and fewer people are gaming at 1080p, and thus the GPU is more important anyway. It's why Intel is losing relevance because they are still relying on the design philosophy from 10 years ago of jacking up single core performance for gaming. In today's desktop world, most people are moving to high resolution with a good GPU, so it doesn't matter if you are 4.2 GHz or 5.3 GHz on the CPU.
SIDE NOTE: It was interesting to see that this processor stock beat an overclocked 10900K in Total War; one of the most resource-hungry game franchises in existence.

I like your review. Except the very end where you mentioned putting money into a 3080 or 3070 instead depending on your considered use case. Not even counting the fact the you can t very LIKELY get EITHER of those, which is considered in real life, the 6800 or 6800xt are what you should ve mentioned. They re gonna be more available AND better than both of the other Nvidia alternatives. Plus the cache linkage of them makes Nvidia a smaller incentivized consideration.

All this talk about how scared intel is is cringeworthy AF. Intel is a much larger company than AMD. The desktop CPU market is a small fraction of their revenue and they will still continue to innovate with each generation. They're not scared or worried or dead. They will most likely re-gain the gaming crown with comet lake in just a few months. CPU's as products themselves are not interesting enough to warrant brand tribalism lol. Just stop.

I got my ryzen 9 5900x from Scan in the UK, should be delivered tomorrow, upgrading from 3600XT. I hope my nzxt kraken x62 will be able to cool it and allow for some overclocking headroom. I am using a 4k 120hz monitor and felt like 3600xt actually bottlenecks even in games like battlefield V as it reaches 80%+ utilization and my RTX 3080 utilization is around 80-90%

Paper launch in the Netherlands, stocks gone in 1 minute.. Amazon and Ebay resellers scalping after 20min of launch. So called limits on 1 card per customer, where people where able to buy multiple units at multiple stores the first minute. Stores not respecting the launch time, and selling early.. Even worse then the Nvidia launch if u ask me.

I m going to be that guy. Yes AMD IS ahead, yes there is no justification to buy intel at this point but the 0.1% lows were lower than intel in a lot of games. Not by enough margin that matters but still I am very interested to see what intel has in the future as monolithic cpu die has its advantages.

I know you're swamped for videos and work but I would love to see a workstation CPU comparison while hardware accelerating on the GPU to as that is the main way to do workstation tasks and would like to see if CPU even means anything while offloading to the GPU.
