    I did notice the L3 cache on the 4100 was lower than the i3. I think I need to spend sometime comparing prices of new and old hardware. Thanks for all the advice

    Seeing how powerful consoles GPUs are really shows us how behind AMD/Nvidia are this gen. Makes me think Lovelace really is going to be that impressive

    Wait, so your mom was running a gas leaf blower in the house? She does realize those output a ton of carbon monoxide and other noxious gases?
     
    The computer isn't gonna really be affected, the most that will happen is that it will need to be cleaned out a little earlier than usual. Just make sure she never does that again, it's incredibly stupid and unless that laundry room has very good ventilation it can kill her if its run for a long enough time.

    CPU:
    * 8-core           Zen-2 Renoir (12mb total cache) bare minimum cache
    * 6-core+SMT Zen-2 Matisse (35mb total cache) bare minimum core count, aim for 3600X or tweak a 3600.
    * 6-core+SMT Zen-3 Cezanne (19mb total cache) recommended
    * 6-core+SMT Zen-3 Vermeer (35mb total cache) even better!
    * AMD/Intel CPU with similar performance or better.
     
    GPU:
    * Radeon RX 6600 XT (bare minimum, matches PS5 RDNA2 in TFLOPS)
    * Radeon RX 6700 XT (recommended matches the Xbox Series X in RDNA2 TFLOPS)
    * AMD/Nvidia GPU with similar performance or better.
     
    RAM:
    * DDR4-3200 16GB minimum, 32GB dual-rank kit is probably best.
     
    That about sums it up, prices for each item will no way in hell beat a console but at the very least it is yours & should last about as long if you plan to match them.

    Nena Trinity reacted to mariushm in How get more Hz on monitor?   
    You can set refresh rates higher than 60 Hz, and the monitor will accept them, but you won't see any actual higher refresh rate on panel. In fact, if you set too high refresh rate, the image quality may suffer because you're just pointlessly sending too much data through a poor quality vga cable.
     
    The display processor (the chip)  which takes in analogue input is designed and MUST accept a wide range of refresh rates, for backwards compatibility. 
    Some video card may only output 720x400 75 Hz,  another video card may only output 640x480 85 Hz, there's CNC machines, sewing machines, industrial machines which output barely acceptable VGA signals ... user may not be able to control the refresh rate. Or, the product generating an analogue signal may be badly designed and not produce a properly timed analogue signal, so the monitor would see 59.8 Hz or some other such value. 
     
    The monitor's input must be capable of accepting a wide range of refresh rates. But, this doesn't mean the processor in the monitor will also update the actual pixels on the LCD panel that many times a second. Unless explicitly specified, it will only update the panel 60 times a second.  You give it 70 Hz signal, it will simply pick 60 frames out of 70 and throw away those extra 10 frames.  You give it 50 Hz, it will simply update the screen when a new frame is received, once even 1000 ms / 50 frames = 20 ms... OR, it will just double some random frames out of those 50 and update the screen 60 times a second.
     
    The processor chip is made like separate departments  :  [   analogue to digital conversion ] ---- > [ digital resizing to LCD panel resolution, if needed ]  ----- [ conversion from digital to format the LCD panel understands ]   --->  repeat 60 times a second.
     
    Also, in those old LCD displays, the pixels are quite slow to update. Often, it takes more than 16 ms (1000ms / 60 hz = 16.66 ms) for a pixel to fully change from one color to another.  To move from one shade of gray to another, or from one blue to some other blue it's easier, maybe 6-10 ms on average, but if you change between colors it can often take quite close or over 16 ms. 
    So even if the processor would actually send more than 60 updates to the LCD panel, the pixels wouldn't change that fast.
     
    I wish there was an easy way for you to actually test ... all I can think of is using your phone to record the screen at 90-120 fps while you play a 75 fps movie of a clock or something that changes every frame. If you can actually see 75 changes on the LCD panel within one second, you actually have a monitor that does more than 60 hz refresh rate.
    Maybe you can create a test video with a tool like Virtualdub, I know for sure you can change the framerate of a video easily with it.

    I would consider a Radeon 6600 to 6700 XT level of graphics card to pair with that, kinda leaning towards the 6700 more since x16 slot... Now if on budget like me who is poor pleb then 6600/6600 XT. 
     
    Edit: I has R5-3600 paired with 6600 XT

    I actually sent in a support ticket because I kept getting the following error trying to log in (see attached).
     
    Funny thing is my browser (FF) has my login/password saved and I DID NOT make any changes. My initial thought was a certificate expired on March 1st since all was good yesterday, but then I went to my laptop using the same browser and everything works. Checking my insanity I also did a full malware scan and that didn't bring up anything either. I am at my wits end with this garbage - I have tried restarting the system, closing/reopening the browser and deleting the FF cache as well and it just fails to let me log back in again. What's going on???

    Use the iGPU from the Intel Core to encode? Solid choice to pick Intel with the 6500 XT. 
    Then you most buy Kingston HyperX to make sure you get it, no other manufacturer actually gives you the information! If you buy a Crucial 2x16GB kit it doesn't specify if you get Rev E or B! There is no way to tell what memory chip they use. 
    The CPU in the console has less L3 cache than even the i3-12100, plus the i3 manages to push up to 75% of the multi-core score tests in multiple benchmarks! More threads and cores doesn't matter as much as cache do, the truth was FX-8300 was indeed way better than 6300 and 4300 because it had more Cache combined with more FPU units. More cores threads only help if they give more cache and well all modern CPUs have a FPU per core now so any benchmark that uses FPU should reveal the truth, tough most games still do integer tasks. Speaking of the single core performance is over 30% better for 12th Gen over a 4700S the PS5 CPU so it will run all current games faster for sure.

    Actually, Nvidia uses a multithreaded software scheduler that runs on the CPU while AMD uses a hardware scheduler on the card. So, if the game itself (not saying War Thunder is, just generally) was single-threaded, then an Nvidia user would still notice lower boost clocks as some cores are being used to run the Nvidia driver.

    And another day where you never get past 1st sentence of the original post. Fucking hell.
    Personally i cant find a lot of "PS5 SSDs", But something like 980 Pro, SN850, and Firecuda 530 is the few that are highly regarded for Gen4 without any heatsink requirement. But really, the feature is so young that you should wait until a more conclusive benchmarks start to sprawl about, to see if the 4.0 compliance is REALLY nessessary.

    They can't demand a heatsink can they? Nothing to check for that. Also if it does do constant reading those drives will be dead in at most a year.
     
    I think we first need some more info before going forward.
     
    Also to be in the pcie spec and label it as such you need to be compliant to the specification which means backwards and forwards compatibility. If they exclude pcie 3.0 speed drives it means they are not pcie 4.0 compliant as that should all be part of the pcie spec.
