    ok , a 20 watts drop isn't in any way a significant amount of power unless you live in a tent and are powering the pc with a car battery in the middle of nowhere.
    that again has no relation or bearing to something that would be considered useful.

    I think what may be happening here is you are under the impression that your main gpu wasn't designed to work as a 2d display device or somehow isn't able to do it efficiency while overestimating how significant a few watts or a few mb of ram is on a modern system.

    I think the 5800x is a decent upgrade over your current 2700x.  Yes the 5800X3D is faster but that doesn't make the 5800x slow!
     €135 premium for the 5800X3D might actually be worth it if you want to use a higher end GPU. Have a look through this.

    I would wait for 5700x3d or 5500x3d if you wanna get cheaper.

    edit: Any X3D chips are worth it for gaming. even the 5600x3d beat 5700x in most games.

    nope.
    Yes and honestly that would be it for Cities, most simulator titles, and F1 series for as long as they stick to EGO. If you have stock cooler you need an aftermarket cooler but after that as long as your case is pretty well ventilated you can run it on stock settings.

    5800X3D. I got Assetto Corsa, Payday 3, F1 series, and probably soon enough Forza Motorsport.

    On the money. Not every board can handle the high end Zen amperage demand but your board should be fine.

    gotcha, thanks. 
     
    So if I understand corretly, either the 5700x or go the extra mile for the 5800x3d? As the latter would be the best 'new' cpu for my current gen mobo?

    Stormseeker9 reacted to Eigenvektor in intel vs amd   
    That question would make sense if AMD and Intel each only manufactured a single CPU. To make a comparison, you'd need to be looking at specific CPU models. The difference essentially always comes down to absolute performance and price/performance.
     
    There's virtually nothing an AMD CPU can do that an Intel CPU can't and vice versa (at least in the consumer space), so at the end of the day it comes down to: How much money are you willing to spend on a CPU, which model offers the best bang for the buck at that price point.

    Stormseeker9 reacted to Zando_ in NTIA recently calls changes for mobile app markets   
    Man. As someone who enjoys using an iPhone for the sheer simplicity and reliability of it, and has a lot of older/non-techie family members on them, I don't like the idea of 3rd party app stores, as companies will likely require them and refuse to publish a version to the native iOS app store. Basically, if you can get everything you need done in the walled garden, they are really nice.

    Stormseeker9 reacted to DoctorNick in NEW PSU - connectors, is the new standard an issue   
    Not to be rude or anything, but half of what you're saying doesn't make any sense. You got a 3080, yes. Does it have the new power connector? If yes what converter does it use? If its the bad one, that can't bend without catching fire, then maybe just get another. Just to clarify CPU 8 pin EPS is different from PCI-e 6+2 pin connectors. ALso your instability issues might be ram related, considering you're using 6000mhz. Might want to check that out. Also if you got any OC or PBO enabled on the CPU, maybe test with default settings aka auto in BIOS. (you can just reset to optimized defaults/aka factory)

    Be sure to check that the pc manufacturer has not used proprietary connections, as then a new psu won’t work. Looking at you Dell.

    If you are upgrading to 1440p/144hz down the line, I’d fork out the extra £60 for longevity reasons and the extra performance.

    At this price you may be able to get a 2060 but if not then yes that's a good price especially in Europe.
