I may have posted this system 3 years ago but I didn't get a whole lot of time to play around with it. Today, I remedy that. Just need to figure out where I put the optical drives for it and install drive cables...
The GeForce 9800 GX2, yes. There was also a 7900 GX2 that was OEM only, and a consumer 7950 GX2 as well. The card that followed the 9800 GX2 is behind it: the GeForce GTX 295. :cool:
My personal favorite?
The nVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB. It was the first GPU that allowed me to turn everything to max settings in the shader model 3 era. And it was the last enthusiast grade single-slot GPU from nVIDIA.
Apologies if I've...
I don't need a top tier CPU, no, considering my GPU is a 3080 FE (which is listed in my signature) - and later this year I'll be swapping it for a 3080 Ti FE. I'll be doing a good deal of video encoding and 3D modeling in addition to gaming and...
A dual v-cache part is something I would love to see. That way I don't have to worry about which CCD a thread gets assigned to because they all have access to v-cache. I'm happy with my 5900X as is, but I'd be lying if I said the extra...
Yeah for sure it has a niche market. If gaming was your primary concern then I think the 7800X3D is preferable to avoid any scheduling issues.
I would have loved to see them just go both CCD's with 3D v-cache. Or better yet, maybe Zen 5 or Zen 6...
I mostly game on my PC but I'd still prefer one of the non-3D cache CPU's...the gaming numbers are incredible with the 7800X3D but I'd rather have something like the Zen 5 8800X which will perform around the same or slightly better than the...
You came into a topic, you willingly clicked on it, right? You weren't under any duress? So what gives? Do you also buy books you are not interested in then start reading them and then moan how you are not interested in it?
BTW you got the...
As has been stated multiple times now, for that very niche budget workstation gamer. It makes sense for anyone who was considering the 7900X for the extra core count but also wants to game.
I won't lie, I was disappointed with the results. But it's still faster than the non v-cache parts by a margin as bobzdar pointed out. And since I do much more than just game on my PC the 7800X3D isn't the best fit.
AMD needs to drop the price...
I find it more interesting now than I did at launch due to the price. For the same price as a 7800X3D and being sub $400, those extra four cores are enticing. My personal use computers will be solely full power, full feature cores, until I'm not...
And see... I do not just game, but I do a fair bit of video encoding, streaming, and I'm going to start on the long road to learning Blender soon and start doing some 3D modeling. Saying that I wouldn't prefer the 7950X3D would be a lie, but...
