  1. Alright thanks for the info! So if there is some sharing happening, I will move the system ssd into the bottom slot and be prepared to get a gen 4 m.2 ssd whenever direct storage comes around.
  2. Hi, so Ryzen 7 5800x and a strix x570-f motherboard. Please help me here. Can I use the full x16 4.0 slot for the gpu and the x4 4.0 m.2 slot AND the second 4x 4.0 m.2 slot + 4 sata 6gb/s devices without running into any of this stuff sharing lanes? Cpu lanes should be 16x gpu, 4x m.2 slot and 4x down to the chipset. If the second m.2 slot alone needs 4x 4.0 pcie lanes already.. then this doesn't really work, right? Or does it? My head is exploding xD And does anyone know if direct storage will need the ssd to be installed into the slot with the cpu lanes? Just curious. Edit. HurrDurr just found out that taking a closer look into the manual is indeed - quite helpfull https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_STRIX_X570-F_GAMING/E15827_ROG_STRIX_X570-F_GAMING_UM_v2_WEB.pdf Pcie operating mode: Chapter 1, site 1-7. Says that it should be fine. Nothing to be found on the sata ports tho. I thought that could cause a problem.
  3. Hey, read through this. I basically had the same question. Cpu's should be almost on par, don't count me on that tho. Got really good answers here^^
  4. You named it. Ray Tracing it is. If you read into what it actually does then you will notice that this is a big ass step up for visuals. I'd say it's just as important, if not more, as HDR. Tho I'm not sure how much rt horse power the next gen actually got.
  5. How many lanes has the second pcie slot? Or how many lanes is it allowed to use (bios setting)? It Should be 16, 8 should be enough too tho.
  6. I get it, really. I friggin hate waiting. But as far as I know there is also a 3080 with 20gigs coming sooner or later. And I'd say something inbetween the 3080 20g and the 3090. Just my quess. So waiting it is (alteast for me).
  7. I wouldn't worry too much, bump those graphic settings to the max and it should be fine.
  8. I'd say if you want to build a new system anyway, go for the pcie 4.0. For gaming the difference between intel & amd is not worth mentioning, especially at higher resolutions - talking 1440p and upwards
  9. *revive* Okay so after the Nvidia Stream about the next gup series... Well there is now NVIDIA RTX IO which is awesome. And maybe a reason to upgrade to pcie 4.0 damn I hope links are allowed here https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-io-gpu-accelerated-storage-technology/
  10. Thanks for all the input. Am stuck to pcie 3.0 so far and I don't really like upgrading the cpu that often, it's just not worth it for my needs. However if the next top tier gpu will actually be bottlenecked uh eh ah shit
  11. Like, will the rtx3090 be bottlenecked noticabely without pcie 4.0 x16? Any thought's?
  12. But I don`t use a 1080p monitor where my cpu would be overwhelmed easily. I go with way higher resolutions so my gpu instead of the cpu is the limit. That`s why I even started this thread. When does it become useless sticking with my 7700k?
  13. Well the plan is to let the gpu do most of the work so I don`t have to upgrade my cpu ._. And the 30xx lineup could bring enough power for 4k 120hz, or not, who knows As @LIGISTX has shown me with the second graph, the 7700k behaves almost on the same level as a 9900k while beeing stock on 1440p. So I got a good feeling about upgrading just the gpu so far. Oh an my cpu is just a bit overclocked (4.6Ghz) because I undervolted it. My chip can go to 4.9Ghz if needed.
  14. Hi, a few years ago I got myself a kinda banging rig. I7 7700k and a gtx1080ti. I thought about upgrading due to rtx which I don`t really want to miss out on in the future. For me it was obvious to skip Nvidia`s 20xx lineup. Now that the 30xx stuff is coming closer I will go for the next high end GPU, 3090 or whatever it`ll be named. Now my question is if my CPU will actually hold back a way more powerfull graphics card. Using a wqhd screen 144hz, no hdr. Might be going for 4k 120hz in the future, not sure yet. As far as I know lower resolution is heavier on the CPU and vice versa - for most games. Sooo yea; just buy a 4k screen and be set. Or is it not quite that simple? Because upgrading the CPU comes with a new Motherboard and probably new ram too. Which is a pain in the meh.
  15. If you really just play this kind of games, you can go with an ever lower cost gpu honestly. Other than that, you are set with an 5700 XT.
  16. Hey, really just wondering why not? I understand that not every game needs it.. talking about fun Indie games and stuff like that. Battlefield 3 (2011) still looks superior compared to alot of games of 2017/18/19. Witcher 3 got downgraded because consoles hardware was/ is not up to the task, as fas as I know. Ah well the consoles, seems like I answered my own question. Not quite I think. Isn't it possible to create a game with top notch graphics? It wouldn't even matter if noone could run it - yet, simply turn down some settings and you should be good to go - or am I missing something here? Afterall that should be the reason for a graphics menu? And choose a graphic preset that works for consoles - everyone happy? Any thoughts?^^
