I went with the u12a but kept my 3700x. I had a noticeable improvement in temps. The d15s with two fans got me about 68-75c while gaming in say warzone while my u12a gets me 59 to 65c, so should be fine for a 5800x if i upgrade. Maybe i mounted it better or my minor mobo upgrade helped with temps too. Hard to believe a smaller cooler works better, but the u12a is a beast. Worth the money.

And with PBO on?

I prefer air but Im tired of big honking heat sinks that get in the way of everythingand create clearance issues. The U12a seems like the answer to my problems but i hear mixed things about its actual cooling ability with a beast like the 5800x.

Call of duty Warzone simply not compatible with windows?
maizenblue replied to maizenblue's topic in PC Gaming
I think the issue is internet latency. -
Id go with the 9900k. More cores and threads with a faster processor will help a little in upcoming games but upgrading to ryzen wont make a difference inless u do other cpu intensive things like rendering.

Is it better to have windows on a separate drive than games?
maizenblue replied to maizenblue's topic in Operating Systems
I'm talking strictly from the point of view of games running smoothly. I was just spitballing over my warzone stuttering being related to having windows on a separate and slower drive. -
I recently “won” an evga 3080 ti costing 1399. Far less than most 80tis. Decided 1500 with tax and shipping was still too much for a gpu and didnt know anyone who wanted it so cancelled the order. Prior to that id lost 60 plus consecutive shuffles.

maizenblue replied to maizenblue's topic in PC Gaming
I kind of like the game and I've managed to win about half a dozen times in battle royale, but I long ago lost count of the number of times Ive died while dealing with a stuttering slide slow when action gets heavy. I probably will just delete it and forget it and wait for battlefield 2042. It doesnt help that the warzone player base is easily the most toxic Ive ever encountered. It's nothing like battlefield's. I'm guessing because it's mostly console players. -

maizenblue replied to maizenblue's topic in PC Gaming
Already have done all that. Made no difference. The only time I've ever experienced anything similar is playing battlefield 1 64 player conquest with only 8 gb of ram, and that wasnt nearly as bad as warzone is. That problem was completely solved by going to 16 gb of ram. If you run task manager, does it show a small amount of shared video memory being used? -

One thing Ive noticed is that when i run task manager and look at it while the game is playing, it nearly maxes out my 10gb of dedicated vram, then shows a small amount of shared vram usage? Is this normal for games? It seems to me under no circumstances should shared video memory be used during a game. Am I just interpreting the task manager wrong? If it uses up all 10 gb of vram and then reverts to shared memory for even more, that right there has to be the issue. -
So like seemingly everybody, I have always experienced microstutter in this game. Sometimes its annoying but playable. Other times it's nearly unplayable. Also like most people I've tried various fixes, none of which works for any length of time. I have a Ryzen 3700x, rtx 3080, 16 gb of 3600 mhz cl16 ram. So system specs arent the issue. Having researched the issue periodically for weeks comes up with a dizzying array of fixes, some of which actually are the opposite of each other. Is this just part of the PC gaming experience for this game? Does anyone NOT experience this? It seems to be something to do with either the game using too much ram or vram, and the amount of ram and vram you have doesnt even matter because it will always use a max amount, which seems to be more than it should. It seems this game is just designed for consoles and pc play is just tacked on and not really supported. I'm at the point where im just going to delete the game and be done with it.

Why are AMD 6000 GPU's so insanely overpriced?
maizenblue replied to maizenblue's topic in Graphics Cards
You don't understand how business works if you don't think a lot of thought goes into MSRP prices. There is a reason why the AIB's are more expensive for AMD, most likely related to manufacturing costs, shipping, tariffs, etc. I was just wondering if someone had some insight into this, but apparently not. -

No, I'm also comparing other stores and online retailers, since I have stock notifications still set up from when I was looking for a GPU. AMD cards are easier to buy across the board, everywhere. I'm not saying they are easy, but far easier than Nvidia. And no I'm not mad. I have no dog in this fight. I'm legit curious why it's occurring since I like GPU competition. You seem to be the one getting defensive over this for some reason. -

Well if the Microcenter I visited is any indication. They DON'T feel like it, which was also part of my point. These overpriced AMD cards are sitting on shelves, at least at that store. It just seems like AMD is going to get slaughtered as this GPU shortage begins to go away. Stores like that Microcenter are already cutting back on ordering AMD cards because they just dont sell unless they are the reference model.
