monitor market has improved so much

i remember just a few years ago there was literally 0 IPS 1080p 144hz monitors. you literally had to go TN or f*** off

Intel ARC looks cool but i’ll definitely wait it out until it matures more

yeah the RX 6600 seems like a much better deal

maybe after it matures more tho

need ARC benchmarks for the video encoder

feel like it probably smokes AMD and beats Nvidia, quicksync Intel’s big advantage

could make a nice media server GPU

Debating for my new build going 5800X3D and sticking with AM4 or jumping in with AM5... prices of going AM5 is insane tho

Also I'm 50/50 on whether or not I'm switching to Linux for my next build. I'm getting sick of Microsoft's bullshit

do it

i lost it when he compared the size to a ps5

only reason I'd go AM5 is if you live near a Micro Center

they got crazy RAM, Mobo & CPU bundles

just saw an ad in my inbox

free RAM and $50 off the motherboard with AM5 that's basically the same price as going AM4 then you can upgrade in the future

what the f***

This is me I'm on the TN 1080p 144hz right now are u telling me they got IPS now that's crazy

not only do most people need a new psu, most might need a new case for this monster...
even with the 3/4 slots, i cant imagine the gpu sag from this

put it this way, 1440p IPS 144hz monitors are today going for the same price what 1080p TN 144hz monitors were in 2017

There’s actually a Microcenter down the street from me lol. Where do you get local deals from? Deals online seem meh

I think I signed up for the in store deals at my local micro center yeah i get the deals for the online stuff as well

it’s basically the same stuff as on amazon or newegg, yeah all the good deals in store only

was from last friday not sure if you can still get it, maybe could call them

yeah you seriously would have to think about brackets and supports for sagging with that card

yeah you’d need a large case to fit the thing

no way you’re fitting that in a sff build

Bruh it's that big? Nah fam... I am in disbelief...

Now I am imagining how big the RTX 4090 Ti... Or man... RTX 5090/5090 Ti will be

Damn that's too much money I'll stick to TN

open frame cases about to be a trend now

might as well just leave your mobo sitting on top of the box it came in

I'll consider this But honestly think the 5800X3D will be more than enough for a few years tbh. Only reason why I wanna go AM5 so I have room to upgrade down the line but the entry costs are just crazy rn if I can't land a Microcenter deal

Maybe I'll wait for the new X3D to drop next year. S*** might go down in price by then

looks like the 4080 12GB is only gonna beat the 3090 by 5%..

it really is the 4070 lol, if I had to guess the 12GB card will be limited so it doesn't cut into their 3080-3090ti sales while the two high end ones will be in stock

the 4080 16GB 25%-45% & 4090 70-90% faster than the 3090 depending on the game

in their own tiers of performance, obviously just early leaks & some nvidia numbers so these will change a bit

yeah the 5800X3D is crazy fast anyways sure you'd be able to run it for years but yeah I bet prices will go down some and the RAM & Motherboard prices are crazy for AM5 without a bundle deal for not that big of an uplift over the 5800X3D so waiting could be the move

yeah seriously

I actually ran my pc without a case for 6 months just zip tied everything to my desk lol, the only downside was needing to dust more often
