    What is up with PSUs manufacturers now? 100 models with almost zero differences

    Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum/Titanium are simply efficiency classes Vertex/Focus are different tiers. Focus IIRC being the entry level one for Seasonic

    Gamers report memory RGB lights are damaging GPU backplates

    Those back plates aren’t plastic

    The GPU Nvidia would rather forget – GeForce FX

    One small exception… x1900/1950xtx cards did achieve that level of success. They didn’t top the charts for as long but they did top the charts.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    I'm speculating, but I doubt US government issued 50B in subsidies to bring them over for anything short of their state of the art processes. We already have several sources outside Taiwan in general and TSMC in particular for "lesser" process nodes. Intel, Global Foundries and Samsung all have...

    7800x3d Windows Game Bar

    It's only really needed for the dual CCD processors like the 7900x3d and 7950x3d. Some say it also helps with the non x3d versions of those same CPU's. Not necessary on a single CCD cpu like the 7800x3d

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    Main reason we need that TSMC Arizona fab spun up asap. I mean, not just for 5090's but everything else based on TSMC's processes.

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    "just" 80% faster at gaming?

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    3080 for $699 was unobtainium for 2 years. If you wanted one you either got lucky and sniped one before it went OOS or, more commonly, you paid a scalper more than 699. This wasn’t lost on nvidia. Why leave profit on the table when you can cut out the scalper and pocket additional money. I see...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    No we don't. But we do live in a world where technology improves and what wasn't feasible or economical one year may not be the case in the future, which is why i'm waiting to see what Zen 5 brings.

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Hardware acceleration is whatever the default setting is which I’m almost certain is enabled. Still uses cpu cycles, not really a problem on modern CPUs but older 8 cores with no SMT that are already pegged, you notice it. As far as CCDs, I don’t really want two CCDs at all. I’d like one 16...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    The main benefit from having >8 cores for gaming is if you do some form of multi-tasking while gaming. I play Warzone often, both my i7 9700k (8 cores) and R9 5900x (12 cores) can run it fine playing solo. However, when I squad up and playing quads while on a Skype video call, there's a...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Dude literally said where to find this info in the 2nd sentence of the post you quoted.

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    People need to stop saying "best of both worlds" it isn't. It's a compromise. a 7950x3d is still slower than a 7950x in most non-gaming scenarios. Best of both worlds means just that. BEST. It would have to be faster than a 7950x in non gaming workloads and faster than a 7800x3d in gaming workloads.
